41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of the rest of us. Uh,

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: it's like get a job that pays you twelve hundred

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: bucks a month and then for childcare because you're no

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: be like also and or instead, let's try this because

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: I've been like researching this program that they do a

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: lot of other cities called Cure Violence, where they just

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: like hired like gangstass niggas to like just go to

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the gangs and be like, please don't shoot each other

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: and not like in a but like like nigga understand,

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: like why are you killing each other? But I fucking

74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: get it, Like you don't, like you can do something

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: like you you can have a better life than this

76
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and you can resolve your conflicts without this. And it's

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: been working with a lot of places. I would hope

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: that happens like more often and outside of the context

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: of like a organization having to put it together. It

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: seems like back in the day, like o Gez used

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: to do that a lot more just on general principle, like,

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: oh man, I can't have these young shooting each other,

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm the O G I gotta like, I

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: can't participate in that ship. I gotta like, you know, well,

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Yeah, a lot of people do it

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: in their spare time because they're just humanitarians. But like

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: they're walking six hours a week at the fucking plant

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: or whatever they're you know, what if they could do

89
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: this as a career, like we're like their whole job

90
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: forty hours a week, fucking gang niggas don't shoot each other.

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: I think about half a feeling that would be. So

92
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: it's like there's definitely a lot of people qualified to

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah. Yeah, So it's like a very in

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: my in my view, a very specialized skill set of

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: like knowing the streets, having been there yourself, you know,

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: and learning these other like very empirically based like ways

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: of you know, volve in conflict and like you know,

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: changing community norms around conflict and ship. But it's what

99
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: we've been doing this whole time. It's just that people

100
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: do it electively. The people just do it out of

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the goodness of their hearts and then they got to

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: go work two jobs, three jobs in order to like

103
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: keep their kids out the streets to pay for you know,

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: the basketball program because the kids don't get caught up

105
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: in the ship. So I mean it's all part of

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the cycle's like, yeah, we all have

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: so much of our own ship that we have to

108
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: worry about the like we can't focus on like these

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: giant backro problems that ship. Right, I work with this

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: cat named Darius. Shout out to Darius, um save the us.

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: We bought a bus this summer to take kids to

112
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: like programs and ship. And Darius has been in jail.

113
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: There's like probably moved way back in the day. There

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: is might a shot someone. I don't know why Darius

115
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: d but when he brings the kids out to the

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: car wash where the people come get the car wash,

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: the kids make a little bit of money and it's

118
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: like a healthy place with the kids to be after school.

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: The kids love that Darius wasn't jail once. The kids

120
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: like look up to him so much because he was

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: in jail. Ones and you look up to him because

122
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: he's like, y'all don't want to do that. Y'all don't

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: want to be me Like, they ain't gonna listen to

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: a Nike that's never been there. They're not gonna listen

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: to somebody that don't really know, but they listen to

126
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: there is because there's has been to jail. And so

127
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: it's like that fundamental model of like you have to

128
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: have been there to know, and we should pay people

129
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: with that that skill set and that expertise to do

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the work of disrupting the violence in the community. Anyway.

131
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: People getting shot around ship man, I mean, I mean

00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: but they alleged with an unconstitutional ban on abortion at

155
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: six weeks UM no carve out conclusions for incests, rape

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: or sexual assault of any kind. For the dresser Department

157
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: argue that this Senate bill sent A Bill eight was

158
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: unconstitutional because it violated the supremacy clause as well as

159
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: the equal protection afforded under the Fourteenth Amendment. And it

160
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: also um they said, violated uh U s Supreme Court

161
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: President um. And then this week, in a one page ruling,

162
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: US disc Court Judge Robert Pittman said that from the

163
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: moment uh SPA went to effect women have been unlawfully

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: prevented from exercise and control over their lives and ways

165
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: that are protected by the Constitution. Um. I'm gonna jumping

166
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: into the article real quick to add a little bit

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: of a little bit of Now, this is one of

168
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: those ones that happened when you were on your break

169
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: that like, I definitely want to get your thoughts off.

170
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those sort of things that

171
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: was like I kind of already know what you think

172
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: about it, but well you know about it. Here about it.

173
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What I want to hear what you think

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: about Yeah, I want to think about it is abortion

175
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: will always be saying some legal for rich women, rich people,

176
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: I should say, um. And so really for me, this

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: is like this is like such a fundamentally working class issue. Um.

178
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: It's it disproportionately and almost in a targeted way. UM

179
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: seeks to like oppress for women of color, poor people

180
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: of color, who can't travel, who can't jump on a

181
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: plane and go to California and get an abortion. So

182
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: it's like not just like oh, you hate women like

183
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: you specifically hate poor people that seek abortions. UM, And

184
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: so looking at it, you know from actually like okay,

185
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: from like a class perspective, like it's kind of like

186
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: a class struble issue. But interestingly UM as an aside.

187
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I've been reading this book called Freedom Dreams. It's talking

188
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: about like the black radical tradition throughout history, and like

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: talked about different people talked about how the black feminist

190
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: movement um as a in part because the influence of

191
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: the Nation of Islam, Like there's a lot of pushback

192
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: against like the white feminists call for, like you know,

193
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: abortion on demand because it was seen as like a

194
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: form of population control in the black community. It's a

195
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: form of like genocide. I think you still hear a

196
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of those talking points repeated to day um, but

197
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: those are the people that are seeking to control maybe

198
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: keep his party there. Dont those you know, Black women

199
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: are the kinds of people you hear on Fox News

200
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: that they don't want to reproduce, like oh, we're gonna

201
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: be overtaken, Oh the great replacement theory, Like you can

202
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: say all day, Oh, it's population controls genocide. It was like, well,

203
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: it's every single person's decision for themselves, and this is

204
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: what they you know, they they're they're trying to oppress

205
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: you about banning these things. This is not anything for

206
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: our benefit was whatever. I mean, this is all like

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: part of an ongoing Texas project that seems like the

208
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: Texas Republicans have been working on, which is just try

209
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: to establish like the Maga state, you know what I'm saying,

210
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Like a state where pretty much all of those all

211
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: of those decrees that Trump kind of made on a whim,

212
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: things that couldn't really go through or it's just who

213
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: was talking on Twitter. It's like the Texas Republicans are

214
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: actually trying to govern the state like that and have

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: like all of these like extreme rights. So I don't

216
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: think that this is the end of it. I think that,

217
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, assuming that nothing gets done about it, I

218
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: think they're just going to keep trying to push like

219
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: the limits of of what type of different extreme things

220
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: that they can pass down there until they're not in power.

221
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and they try it in Arkansas, and they're

222
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna try it and like wherever they're starting at first

223
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: in Texas, I think they know they can get a

224
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of this ship like cram through the pass, ye

225
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I mean they're they're celebrating

226
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: like cops on horseback whippin people one day, you know

227
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and then the next day they're like

228
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: passing through like extreme abortion meators. I wouldn't be surprised

229
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: if they passed through some statewide stop and frisk stuff soon,

230
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: you know, if it's already on the books for all

231
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: that I know. Fuck. But thankfully, with regards to reproductive

232
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: freedom and justice, UM, a federal judge did block the

233
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: enforcement of texas is controversial new abortion law, UM, granting

234
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: an emergency requestioned the Justice Department. So we will see.

235
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: They will live to find another day. Unfortunately, UM, it's

236
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: definitely going to be a block enforcement with a law

237
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: on a temporary basis basis, and you know, for now

238
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: it's unclear how long I'm gonna be an effect, So

239
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: we will see how long the battle goes on. Do

240
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: we know what other states are trying to pass? They definitely,

241
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Georgia State Legislature is not in session

242
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: right now, but already people like Butch Miller, who's also

243
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: running a belief for the attendant governor have you know,

244
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: declared that they will, like the gleefully can't wait to

245
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: get get the fucking state legislature into session to start

246
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: crafting equally nefarious bills of their own. I'm not aware

247
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: of like what other states, like you know, fucking dashes

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: are plotting right now, but it's definitely happening. It looks

249
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: like Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, Michigan, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

250
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: I hate that. As you said that, I heard it

251
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: in my head to like the Animaniacs tune of like

252
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: the fifty states in yeah, why do why do? Why?

253
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: Does that make me feel like I gotta say, for

254
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: some of you all out there, the Animaniacs was a

255
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: cartoon back Damn. Don't like that. Can't even give him

256
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: no door. The explo are some new ship. You're gonna

257
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: hit him with an Animaniac's reference Animaniacs, I would have

258
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: hit it. I would have given a tiny tumbs on

259
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: the ass. Fuck. Alright, So up next we're gonna be

260
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: talking about this is kind of a continuation of when

261
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: we each had about We talked a little bit about

262
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: the Facebook whistle blower coming forward to review serious harm

263
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: being perpetrated against young people who were using these platforms,

264
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: particularly Instagram, um worsening or or inciting, you know, eating

265
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: disorders or suicidal audiation and page um girls, things like that,

266
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 1: and so those really interesting reading up on the testimony

267
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: on hearing that it seems to be at issue that's

268
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: uniting Republicans and Democrats. UH Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republicans and

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee accused Facebook of intentionally targeting children under d h

270
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: their tea with an addictive product, saying it's clear that

271
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Facebook prior types of profit over the well being of

272
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: children and all users. And then she was, you know,

273
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: echoed by UH subcommittee chair Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Necticut,

274
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: UM say he was like, yeah, bet same, what are

275
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: we gonna do? And so it's interesting that like we

276
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: found some common grounds, like everything hates Facebook. Maybe you know,

277
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: we like we can all unite to take him down. Unlikely,

278
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: But that's a that's like a two edged thing because

279
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: on on one hand, on one hand, I get what

280
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, but I think that that united front is

281
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: like resting on you know, very unshaky foundation, because are

282
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: very shaky foundation, because like the reasons that we hate

283
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Facebook are completely different, you know what I mean, Like

284
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: we hate Facebook because it's causing harm to children and

285
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: and sewing division and spreading hate and stuff like that,

286
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: disseminating this information. They hate Facebook because they banned Trump

287
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: after he tried to do a coup. You know what

288
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, stuff like they're not even It's like just

289
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: because it's this thing that I always feel about, like,

290
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, finding solidarity with the right wingers, And it's

291
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: like if they have the same solutions as we do,

292
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: been cool and I like and likely event that the

293
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: solutions to similar problems are the same. But in most

294
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: cases when we do share the same problems, our solutions

295
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and reasonings for it is like wildly different and ship

296
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: like that. The second thing is, I don't know if

297
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: that is going to hold up because I've already seen

298
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: on Fox News the whole whatever the Democrats and whatever

299
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: the lips do, do the opposite. I've already seen that

300
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: ship taken hold. I've seen Laura Ingram, Well, why did

301
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: they hate Facebook all of a sudden? We Maybe Facebook

302
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: isn't doing anything wrong, I mean simply because the Democrats

303
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: have an issue with it. So I mean, if that starts,

304
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: if that filters down to Trump and he gives the word,

305
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: I think Marsha Blackbird will change her to turn. I

306
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: think they should break it all up, to be honest, Yeah,

307
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: not even yeah. I mean the fact that it went

308
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: down in the way that it was, like severely interrupted

309
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: communications for people who rely on it all over the globe.

310
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: The fact that it could have that level of influence,

311
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: like regardless of any sort of massive conglomerate, any sort

312
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: of mass corporation that has that sort of like vice

313
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: like grip on the public sphere like that. Then Okay,

314
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: what a social media being Amazon funk all these niggas.

315
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: It's wrong and it's it's the option, right, one might say, Um,

316
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean on just pure antitrust ground breaking up.

317
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I wonder on what point would Facebook have done something different,

318
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, like how how bad would it have had

319
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: to be before they would have been like, oh, this

320
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: is an emergency, we have to We've got to change

321
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: course or something like that. Because it really makes you wonder,

322
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: because it's pretty bad like what it is, you know,

323
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: like the harm that they already are causing, that they

324
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: themselves did it internal you know, investigation and researching to

325
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: find out our company is actually causing these effects. You

326
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: know what, guys don't pay attention to that let's just

327
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: keep doing what we're doing, business as usual. We've got

328
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: to get this bread. I mean, what if it was

329
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: really like, what if in their internal investigation it was like, yo,

330
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: Facebook can cause mass suicide? Like they probably would have

331
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: just said, nothing to see here, let's just how do

332
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: we cover it up? They would have sent it to

333
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: the comms department and media, like, hey, how do we

334
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: spend this? Like, well, the mass suicides send all a

335
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: bunch of people to have their nirvana, so they're not

336
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: suffering anymore. It's great, you know, Like, maybe I'm naive,

337
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: but if you had asked me ten years ago would

338
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Facebook become the corporation from the Aliens movies? I wouldn't

339
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: have guessed it. But that's where the funk we are

340
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: right now. Where the funk we are right now. I mean,

341
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: what do you think that they're gonna do you think

342
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: you think any of that breaking up talk that we're

343
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: talking isn't even a possibility? Here is? I don't think

344
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: enough people genuinely care in order for any action to

345
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: be taken, because one side is really cut up in

346
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: a culture war market, Rubio putting forward bills to ban

347
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: wokeness and corporations or something like these people deeply, deeply

348
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: on serious and so I just like don't think that

349
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: they also think that the issue is so like it's

350
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: like it's it's weird because Facebook is like so ubiquitous

351
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: and yet the problem is so niche and that like

352
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: people don't think it affects their bottom line, their bread

353
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: and butter, the kitching table issues of just like what

354
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: impacts their wallet, their family will being you know, things

355
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: like infrastructure or child tax credits or you know, just

356
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: stuff of the every day. Uh, the issue of whether

357
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: or not an algorithm, which, first of all, what really

358
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: is an algorithm? I couldn't explain when an algorithm is

359
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: to you could the average voter. I don't know, like

360
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: in the impacts that it's having our childings about their health,

361
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: all these things are so I guess in a sense

362
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: of seal that I don't think people in Congress are

363
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: going to take it seriously because it's not gonna impact

364
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: it's not gonna like resonate with any vote. So what's

365
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, like you're gonna read on Facebook one

366
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: day on your eighteenth hour of scrolling that Sunday that

367
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, oh, we've been Facebook's algorithm that was directing

368
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: girls to content that's making them suicidal. Like and you're like, huh,

369
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: that's interesting. You're gonna keep scrolling through Facebook. Ultimately, That's

370
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: how I feel about that. So let's move on to

371
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: this next one. This is probably going to the hottest

372
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: button topic of the week or last few weeks, I

373
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: guess so. Famed comedian Dave Chappelle recently put out a

374
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: new special on Netflix called The Closer, and, as has

375
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: been the pattern with all of his other Netflix specials,

376
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: it has caused a uproar of controversy over his uh, homophobic,

377
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: transphobic lyrics or did I say lyrics been comedy? Bit Um,

378
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in hearing your take first before you

379
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: go into because you said you watched it recently, right,

380
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: I did. They watched on Sunday. I tried to cry

381
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: on my way to my friend's fucking birthday party because

382
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: I was a little mad. All right, Well, going into that,

383
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: before you get on what you're you know why it

384
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: caused you to have that reaction, Let's start back to, like,

385
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: if you can't remember back when he first started doing

386
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: these uh Netflix specials, because each one of them have

387
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: had a, you know, a controversy attached with it as

388
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: far as like on this particular show. I think maybe

389
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: the last one didn't because that was the COVID one,

390
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: So he was mainly talking about like George Floyd COVID stuff.

391
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: But what is your what have you been thinking about

392
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: de Chapel in this since he has made this comeback

393
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: where he's been doing the comedy specials and being in

394
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: the public eye more and stuff like that, what have

395
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: you been thinking about the controversy surrounding him leading up

396
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: to this? I mean, it's funny because I had seen

397
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: very I've recently seen like the last couple of years

398
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: of Netflix specialists of his, and well it felt like

399
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: it was creeping into an uncomfortable territory with regards to

400
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: LGBTQ issues. UM. Ultimately I still mostly laughed, Like, you know,

401
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: the balance of my experience of the special I might

402
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: have a moment of discomfort, but mostly I was happy,

403
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: mostly find really funny. Um, even in the parts they're problematic,

404
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: were um touch points for conversation around the problems and solves,

405
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: So not necessarily for nothing or these like somewhat sticky

406
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: uncomfortable issues being raised. Um, but in this one, I

407
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: feel like he was his ego had been so bruised

408
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: by the beating he had taken regarding that earlier content

409
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: that that agree to which he doubled down on it

410
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: took it into a territory. I was like, Oh, this

411
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: is not this isn't fun anymore. Like this is a

412
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: fun anymore. Man. He was weird. It was really weird.

413
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: It's really weird. And I will say, you know, as

414
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: a person identifies as queer, um and hearing the way

415
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: he talked about the black community in contrast to the

416
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: gay community, as if there are two separate things and

417
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: there aren't people that fall into both categories. Um, he

418
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: even you know, I don't want to know burning of

419
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: his jokes, right thing, but he even talks about um, oh,

420
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with transgender people. I have

421
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: I have a problem with the white people, as if

422
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: all transgender people are white. Um. Like when it started

423
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: to get into that territory was like the first thing

424
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: that took me out of it. It's like, you know,

425
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: we exist, right, like, you know those people in the

426
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: black community who are trans, who are bisexual, who are gay, lesbian,

427
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Like he's always attacking um, transness as white and like

428
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: lgbt qt nous as white when I was like, no,

429
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: niked like we out here too. In fact, you know,

430
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: fucking Stonewall Marshas B. Johnson, you know, he threw the

431
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: shock glass heard around the world and started at the

432
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: Stonewall riots allegedly what was the fucking black transax worker,

433
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Like she was a woman of color and so to

434
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: just ignore were then that's like, that is the genesis

435
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: of everything we know Pride to me today, every Pride

436
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: celebration you know and they've ever seen and been to

437
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: heard about came from sucking Stonewall, which was led by

438
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: women of color, who were trans and who were queer,

439
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: and like just totally erase that whole history and be

440
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: like nope, you're either black and you're straight, or you're

441
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: why are you queer? Or you fucking or I hope

442
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: you die? Okay, I don't know was what took me

443
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: out of it initially? Okay, so then what so then

444
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: how did escalate from there? For you? Um? Without you

445
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: get too many spoilers. I feel like a lot of

446
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: these things have become memes and so like, I think

447
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: this is public knowledge. If you haven't seen the special,

448
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: he says, I'm team Turf, saying that he's on the

449
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: same team as like trans exclusionary radical feminists pretty much,

450
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: people who don't think trans people are there are are there,

451
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, their gender that they identify with, you know,

452
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: especially trans women not being women. Let me run down

453
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: some of these before before you continue, just to you know,

454
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: because this is like she said, this isn't really spoiling

455
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: it because a lot of this stuff is already out there,

456
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: but just to run down some things that he said

457
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: in the special for anybody who's wondering, Um, this I

458
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: guess will kind of be spoiler quotes. Um he said, Uh,

459
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: any of you who have ever watched me know that

460
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem with transgender people. If you

461
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: listen to what I'm saying, clearly, my problem has always

462
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: been with white people. That's going to your point about

463
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: not acknowledging that there are definitely a lot of black

464
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: transgender people, my dude, and histhanic and yeah, like an

465
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: indigenous like to say like, oh I hate oh my problems.

466
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: You know all these trans white trans people and those

467
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: are the only trans people exist and defending what's her

468
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: name of the Harry Potter, Lady J k Rowland, Sorry, yeah,

469
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: he was supporting her um talking about it, and she's

470
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: herself has been caught in some controversies, some anti trans controversy,

471
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: but he said, I'm team turf Uh. At the end

472
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: of the comedy special, he says, all I ask of

473
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: your community, with all humility, will you please stop punching

474
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: down on my people? And that's probably the part of

475
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: the ship that really rubbed me wrong because I felt

476
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: that's just like the accumination of everything that you just

477
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: said in terms of like the whole thing felt like

478
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: it had this eerie vibe of I mean, if I

479
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: were just to oversimplify it, it felt like the mission

480
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: statement of the special was like the gay community and

481
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: the black community or at odds because Kevin Harten the

482
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: baby Lost Gigs. It doesn't that sound dumb like it

483
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: just it just had this weird like you know, It's like,

484
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: if the point of it is not to put black

485
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: people against gay people, then what was the point? You

486
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because it wasn't you touched on

487
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: my big other problem with it. It's putting these marginalized

488
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: communities against each other, as if it's a it's like

489
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: it's a race, like, oh, we gotta get like one

490
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: of us is going to make it to the top,

491
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: the others we gotta step on their heads to get there,

492
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: which is I think I think speaks to the nature

493
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: of the jokes stepping on the heads of another mortalized

494
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: group in order to yourself ascend, when it's like, no,

495
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm in. All of our liberations are tied together, like

496
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: black people a free, or straight black people a free

497
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: until queer black people are free, until queer white people

498
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: are free, until you know, Mexican trans people are free.

499
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: Like we all gotta fight together against the people who

500
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: are really killed causing us all the problems, which just

501
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: fucking you know, Jeff suffer. Jeff Zuckerberg one of those stitches.

502
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: So here's my here's my overall problem with the stave

503
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: of Chappelle Special. Right, it's not even you know, it's

504
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: like taking myself out of it. I have way more

505
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: there's way more of an issue with the aftermath of

506
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the situation than the special itself. To me, in the

507
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: time that the Special has come out, like all of

508
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: the worst human beings in the world have come from

509
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: under the rocks and holes that they hide him to

510
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: like give praise to Dave Chappelle. Dachapelle's got it right.

511
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: He's one of the good ones. He knows what it is.

512
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: Telling these well, that's PC culture. If there's literally there's

513
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: not literal goose stepping Nazis are online like talking about

514
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: like yo, man, that was yeah. Dave Chappelle, he like

515
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: gets like there's people, there's people who I should you

516
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: not who Just last week we're praising, Oh, look at

517
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: the cops beating those Haitians with the whips on horseback.

518
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: We need more of that in the streets. We need

519
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: to do it out like those same exact people are

520
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: talking about like, oh, man, Dave Chappelle is awesome. Dave

521
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: Chapelle is awesome. Now, I don't want to like man

522
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: shin too many of them, you know what I'm saying,

523
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: because like I don't want to like give shine to

524
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: any whack ship. But for me, it's just weird that

525
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle is not saying anything like Nazism like I mean,

526
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: and and when I say Nazis, I mean I'm talking

527
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: like some of them figuratively and some quite literally. You

528
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, there's one cat. Again, I'm trying

529
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: not to mention it, but there's one cat who who

530
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: made a video of him and his friends, like with

531
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: one of his friends putting his knee on the back

532
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: of his neck to like make a demonstration of Oh,

533
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: George Floyd wasn't really in any danger. He died from

534
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: Fete Mille. In this dude is talking about man Dave

535
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Chappelle's awesome day Chapelle's office. Now, the thing is, if

536
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: I was talking about like some internet trolls or like

537
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: people with egg avatars and ship like that, no, I mean,

538
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: obviously there's no reason for Dave Chappelle to feel any

539
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: sort of like responsibility to like acknowledge that or engaged

540
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: with those people. Whatever. The motherfucker's that I'm talking about

541
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: get more likes, views, and retweets than most of the

542
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: rappers of de Chappell be hanging out with, you know

543
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: what I mean. So these are people with platforms and

544
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: voices who just yesterday we're saying black people deserve to

545
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: be whipped on horseback, and now today here Dave Chappelle

546
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: said something about trans people. Yeah, do it so effectively

547
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: whether he knows it or not, Like not like a

548
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: lot of this ship isn't dependent on people being active

549
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: participants or not. Whether de Chappelle realizes it or not,

550
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: he's effectively serving the same purpose as Candice Owens is

551
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: in this instance straight out you gotta have some real

552
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: ship of self reflection to look around you and be like,

553
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: is that Ben Shapiro? Oh wait, is that bitch watters class?

554
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Or you like what I said? Oh no, I mean

555
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: what did that? Do you that moment? That moment I

556
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: talked about the Joe Rogan ship, Right, But like motherfucker's

557
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: can say whatever, Like you can say whatever you want

558
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: to say about Joe Rogan. You can say people criticize

559
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: them unfairly or blah blah, blah blah. One thing that

560
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: is a fact is that, for like two years of

561
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: the Joe Rogan Show, the main topic of discussion that

562
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to talk about with every white guest was man,

563
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, black people are just born with low i q,

564
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: and everyone says we're racist when we talk about it.

565
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: How come we can't talk about these things? How black

566
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: people are genetically inferior and born with low i Q. Like,

567
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: my whole thing is whether Joe Rogan has an explanation

568
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: for why that was like something he wanted to talk about.

569
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: I just always as like a fan. Just imagine, damn

570
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: if Their Chappelle was sitting across the table from somebody

571
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: who was doing that, he would probably check Start and

572
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Day Chappelle has been on the show like twice since

573
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan has been on that. Ship and Day Chappelle

574
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: didn't say ship about that. They're smoked hey, but but yeah,

575
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like when you see it back

576
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: then and it alarms you when you see it like

577
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: two years ago or not even two years ago. I

578
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: think the last Day Chappelle Joe Rogan interview was like

579
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: maybe like five or six months ago. When you see it,

580
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: it's like, damn, that's weird. Like Joe Rogan was definitely

581
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: going off all all pandemic about like you know, like

582
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: protesters should stop in black lives matters out of hand,

583
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: and terrorists and the cops we gotta trust the cops,

584
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: and ship like really, like dude, she probably got shipped

585
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: to say about that like at all. So now ship

586
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: like this puts it in a different sort of context

587
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: for a cat like me. And again I'm not I

588
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: don't I'm not talking about the special. I'm talking about

589
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: the aftermath of this ship. It's super weird. He had

590
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: he had a public event where at the end of

591
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: it he was like, Hey, if this is what getting

592
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: canceled looks like, then I love it. Fox, fuck ms NBC, funck,

593
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 1: ABC A tall freak. There was a huge admission to that.

594
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: I have no choice but to think it was deliberate

595
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: unless I thought Dave Chappelle was stupid. But I don't

596
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: think they've Chappelle is stupid, So I think that's a

597
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: deliberate thing. He deliberately left Fox News out of that

598
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: because he has a fan base. Now he's getting that paper,

599
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: and that's the fan base that he's got. You know

600
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: when I say fan base, now, I mean there's a

601
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: whole new crop of fans. If you're out there and

602
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: you're a dear Chapelle fan, you've been a Dear Chappelle

603
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: fan since the Chappelle shell. Oh you got You've got

604
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: some new brothers and sisters and arms on your team.

605
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: So a lot of them were storming the Capitol a

606
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. You know what I'm saying. You

607
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna I'm gonna say it. I re

608
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: watch The Chapelle Show recently, and other than the nostalgia value,

609
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,200

623
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: just intellectual exercise to see how I feel. Just to pause,

Speaker 1: you know the meaning of the jokes. No, I know.

625
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,000

629
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: relation to anything translated everything. How much of the special

630
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: would you say the trans stuff took up? It was

631
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of it. I was like, Bro, you

633
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: and on. Man, let's let's go on a little bit

634
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: more about this. So since the whole thing with that happened, um,

635
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: you've had let me go to Okay, So since that

636
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: all happened, you've had you know, a lot of people

637
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: have spoken out against it. Glad has spoken out. UM.

638
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: Trans woman who actually works for Netflix put out a

639
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: tweet that read, yesterday we launched another Chappelle special where

640
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: he attacks the trans community and the very validity of transnis,

641
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: all while trying to pit us against other marginalized groups.

642
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: You're going to hear a lot of talk about offense.

643
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: We are not offended. And she was later suspended from Netflix.

644
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: Now they they say it was for trying to get

645
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: into a meeting that she wasn't invited to. But um,

646
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: it came shortly after that thread of tweets went viral. Um.

647
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: Other comedians and celebrities have come out in praise of

648
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, including this one interesting one that I wanted

649
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: to run by you Varry, because like, if this is

650
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: where things are going, holy shit, do I have some thoughts.

651
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: So comedian Damon Wayne's offered his praise Dave Chappelle, and

652
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: he said, quote, I feel like Dave freed the slaves. Yeah,

653
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: the comedians. We were slaves to PC culture. And he

654
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: just you know, as an artist, he's Van Gogh. He

655
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: cut his ear off. He's trying to tell us it's okay,

656
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: I've always been free. But um, I just think he's saying,

657
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: you know what, all that I have, I'm not afraid

658
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: to lose it for the sake of creative freeness of speech.

659
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: You can't edit yourself. Comedians who were like Mercedes makes

660
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: great cars, but you gotta crash a lot before they're perfect. Yeah. Cool.

661
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: So white people's, particularly who work in electoral politics, are

662
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: so confused and blinded to the amount of conservatism in

663
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: the black community. Yeah, like that's straight up, where are

664
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: we talking points? I've I've said this before on this show.

665
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: If Republicans literally just narrowed down their focus too, we

666
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: hate gay people and poor people. They would have like

667
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: of the black vote really happened to hate black people

668
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: doing Yeah, they can't control they can't control the hatred

669
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: that end like trying not to say it, but yeah, no,

670
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: that's that's definitely a right wing talking point. And it's

671
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: just like, I mean, it doesn't he's trying to tell

672
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: us it's okay to do what to do what they

673
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: could Like you're damon Wayne, David. Wayne's has been richer

674
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: longer than he was a regular human being. Yeah, stop,

675
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: I think that even I think that might even apply

676
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: for Dave Chappelle too. I think that Chappelle has been

677
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: richer longer than rich and famous longer than you was

678
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: a regular person. So like I mean, at this point,

679
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, here in this ship, like these niggas ain't

680
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: really living like on Earth and ship. I don't know

681
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: what the fund is going on, but I know that

682
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: if if if people are gonna start, let me put

Speaker 1: costume right now so I can so I can talk

685
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: about this and address this with a certain level of detachment,

686
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean addressed, Like if African Americans

687
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: are gonna start hopping on this bandwagon of like PC

688
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: culture and oh I hate the Wokens and blah blah

689
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Yo. You you, you have to be

690
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: prepared to keep the energy up and to match the energy,

691
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,760

697
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,359

724
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to take a break and get into

725
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: the music discussion. But I mean, you know, before we

726
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: do it, though, I was just like can't nobody confuse

727
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: me for anything even remotely woke. You know what I'm saying, Like,

728
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: that's just I'm not saying that as like a virtue,

729
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: and I'm not denigrating anything. It's just not who I am.

730
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: It's just you know what I'm saying, It's just like,

731
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: that's not the social circle that I like Roman and

732
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: that Roman this is. But like, you don't have to

733
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: be woke to recognize when ship is whack, yo, and

734
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: to just critique it the way that I would critique

735
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: some rap shit. The production might have been dope, the

736
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: delivery might have been on point, but when I think

737
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 1: of a content, nah, I don't funk with this, man,

738

Speaker 1: Get the funk out of here, man, Nah, that's just whack.

741
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: And if if if a community is telling you that

742
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: something is hurting them and you keep doing it anyway,

743
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: you don't care about them. And he can say all

744
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: day long that he is a feminist, that you know

745
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: he cares about transfolks, but that is simply true. You don't.

746
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,879

00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: I watched the game last week. I don't know if

761
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: you've seen any haven't seen yet. I haven't seen it.

762
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: It's got Somebody tells me it's like the perfect blend

763
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: of Battle Royale and Hunger Games. That's how it's been

764
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: described to me. Oh, you froze for a second, but

765
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: I think the audio probably still got captured a blend

766
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: of Battle Royale and why in Hunger Games, Yeah, pretty much.

767
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's got its own special twist on

768
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: the general theme, particularly in making it a little more

769
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: of an incisive critique on capitalism and the like. It's

770
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: very plain to see. Like, it's very very plain to see.

771
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: And me in a tweet called us Out, he said,

772
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: in Squid Games, pay attention to have as people switch

773
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: and kill each other to survive. Nothing about quote unquote

774
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: hood property. It's the same exact same thing. If you

775
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: just help them with work money, they won't be that way.

776
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: It's just a common sense message. So he's like calling

777
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: out like the underlying drive to accumulate capital to you know,

778
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: stay alive, to future family, whatever you gotta do. Uh,

779
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: spurring people to be blood the sea as hell, killing

780
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: each other like in in metaphorical ways in um life,

781
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: oftentimes the oe literal ways as well in the Hood,

782
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: but then like in very little literal ways in the show. Uh.

783
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: And then it's really funny because then he subsequently got

784
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: made fun of for trying to be deep. But he's

785
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: like right though, And it's part of a larger trend

786
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: I have found of people thinking the show is about

787
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: human nature and not a blatant critique capitalism, like oh,

788
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: it's so fucked up. People have turned against each other

789
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: when the chips are down human nature and it's like, well,

790
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: that's capitalism talking, is it? So I wanted to with

791
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: you because what triggers somebody to say human nature in

792
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: that instance, that's that's capitalists. It couldn't. It could be

793
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: that we're socialized into a capitalist system and so everything

794
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: we know we assume that is it is, but that

795
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: way by default. There could be no other option. But

796
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: it could also be that maybe it is human nature

797
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: that has given rise to capitalism. But we do all

798
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: kinds of ship that isn't human nature, that we make

799
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: choices to do because it's better for us. We fucking

800
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: philip airplanes with fossil fuels and six hundred miles an

801
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: hour across the world in six hours and land it's

802
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: a totally different countries. Like that's not human nature, but

803
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: we do it because it's good to do for a reason.

804
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: And so I mean, I don't know, it's it's human

805
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: nature inherently greedy or and that's why we have capitalism,

806
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: or as capitalism make people greedy, and really our human

807
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: nature is like more benevolent. Hey, I don't know. I'm

808
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: just a stoner rapper guy. But there's a difference between

809
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: human nature makes people greedy and human nature is responsible

810
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: for these fucking complex like economic systems and ship like that,

811
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: like not not yo, I don't think that's human nature.

812
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: I think that's that's game, like you know what I'm saying, Like,

813
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to believe humans a lot more collaborative because

814
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: we live without you know, a lot of these concepts

815
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: money and clear household and shipped for a very long time.

816
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 1: Human nature is vicious? Do you ask my question? Like,

817
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: is human nature vicious? And that's why we have capital

818
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: not necessarly why it's having but it doesn't have to

819
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: get into is that why we have capitalism? But is

820
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: human nature vicious? I don't know. I've only lived within

821
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: the constraints of the society leven, which I think definitely

822
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: accelerates that, uh, that tendency, even if it's not innate

823
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I think, I mean for my experiences,

824
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, I would say that I think that human nature,

825
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, does have a vicious viciousness to it. There

826
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 1: is definitely like a dog eat dog sort of base

827
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: to to like the you know, humans and their natural

828
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: state and ship like that. But I don't know. It's like,

829
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: I think, if you can acknowledge, I have a problem.

830
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: I have a problem when people acknowledge their problems and

831
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: don't change it. You know what I'm saying. I feel

832
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,959
Speaker 1: like if you are stute enough to be like, gee,

833
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: the economic social situation that I'm in is causing people

834
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: to do X y Z. Fuck it, I'm gonna do

835
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: it anyway, you know what I mean. That doesn't That

836
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: doesn't fly with me, you know what I mean. So

837
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: I think I think that's probably would be like a

838
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: nitpick critique Meek Mills observation. But I think it's cool

839
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: that you know, he's he's thinking that ship and making

840
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: those observations. As far as like people coming down on

841
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: him and ragging on him and making fun of him

842
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: about trying to be deep. That goes with your brandings, sir,

843
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't feel that if

844
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: J Cole had made this observation that anybody would have

845
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: said any of those things too. Not that J Cole

846
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: is like some scholar professor or anything like that, but

847
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: J Cole's brand is, Hey, I'm a nigga who might

848
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: think about something like this from time to time. You

849
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean Meek Mills. I mean we know

850
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: that what Meek Mills work and with like the prison

851
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: system and shore like that, but let's keep it real.

852
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: He didn't do that until he went to jail. Yeah,

853
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: you know other other than that, like Meek Mills, brand

854
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: is yo, I'm partying bubbly. I'm a tough guy. I'm cool.

855
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: So like if he comes out and tries to make

856
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 1: like a socio economic like uh uh commentary and then

857
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: one that's like you know, based around the show and

858
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: it's not. It's just like really like surface level. Yeah.

859
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: I I personally in in all fairness and being a

860
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: public figure. Yeah, I I see white people who are

861
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: joaning on him. I mean, uh, it comes back to

862
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: you in part like what I've heard people be, like,

863
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, act like musicians just sucking make music like

864
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: don't be I think it haven't even been Malcolm X

865
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: who talked about like, oh, in no other field, for

866
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: no other people, would you expect your fucking baseball players

867
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: and you're you know, rappers or wherever to like be

868
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: activists and have like informed opinions about things. It's only

869
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: with black people because if you're rich and your black,

870
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: oh well we're going to tokenize you and like make

871
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: your opinion matter. Um, it all depends, It all depends. Yeah,

872
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: they pick and choose. Well, let's let's cap it off today.

873
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: We got one song that we're gonna talk about. Oh word, Yeah,

874
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: so we are going to check out. Back when Mariah

875
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: was on an eternity leave, I mentioned how much I

876
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: really loved the album by this rapper Mac Commy called

877
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: Pray for Haiti. If you guys haven't heard it, it

878
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: is really, really, really dope. I highly recommend it. It

879
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: is like if most deaf also cap Nicks. It's just

880
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: it's just it's hard, it's smooth, it's smart, but it's ignorant.

881
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: It's just dope. It's really dope. And I thought that

882
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: the song Marie kind of kind of encapsulates what you're

883
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna expect the album. But Michael veil By, even when

884
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: she rocked the veil Mommy, Before we get into it,

885
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: I just want to take the first time to acknowledge

886
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: this for all y'all. I know that was just five

887
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 1: seconds of dopness for y'all. But that was two minutes

888
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: of a masterpiece that we got to listen to. Mccomie

889
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: is a Haitian American rapper. He's been rapping for a

890
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: long ast time. This new album, Pray for Haiti, is

891
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: actually his ninth album because up until, you know, a

892
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: few years ago, he was like an underground. He hooked

893
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: up with Griselda and now people have started catching onto

894
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: the lyrics. But the whole album is filled with interludes

895
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: of like news clippings about Haiti and Haiti situation. It

896
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really specifically tie into what the songs are about.

897
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: But it's just like everything is so abstract. But I

898
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: don't know, it's he's really dope. He's probably the closest

899
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: thing to a pre internet rapper that we have right now.

900
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: Like that it doesn't even show his face, Like, motherfucker,

901
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: ain't got no bio, They ain't got no website, you

902
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: ain't got no Twitter handle, yea, yea. All all anyone

903
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,919
Speaker 1: knows about this dude is that he's ill as hell

904
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: on the mic, and I dig that. It's like the

905
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: pieces of his personality you have to piece them together

906
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: from listening to his music. That that ships fucking flat

907
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: to me? What do you think of the song? Oh no,

908
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: it's smooth as hell. Um, I just like, I meanily

909
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: like just melted into the beat. Am I tripping? Like
