 What are your evidence? They want you to comply. No! Who else will? Kogainum. Up yours. Up yours. More or less. Up yours. Up yours. This is systematic bullying that's happening. Up yours. More or less. I'm on this victim's front, I mean. In the end of all this. They're worse than animals. They stop Ben Shapiro from going to events and speaking. They stop Ann Coulter from doing it. I will never surrender even a single inch of ground to a pitchfork mob. You never cave to the mob. We will never bow to the mob. Ever. Ever. No matter what or what. Do you see the final expression of cancel culture in terrorist groups like... We'll see who cancels who. Hi folks. Hey folks. Good evening. Hello. Everybody's here plus we have a special guest today. Okay. Let me introduce you all to my boy, foreign man in a foreign land. That foreign land is the Bahamas. We are from the same island. This is my personal friend. There you go. Yeah. Okay. Very Bahamian night. I just want you all to know. Very Bahamian night. I'm going to try to keep the accent as gentrified as possible so that you all can understand me at least. But that's the most that I will concede. By the way, I need, I need one of them, one of them like up yours intros. I was jamming the whole time. Oh, now you appreciate intros. You was trying to gut my own. What? It's been like literally two minutes and you already trying to air all my lingerie out. Look, I've been telling you, listen, one thing about your favorite alimony over here is she will die over the little flippy odor she have and the big old for the learn already. Oh my God. She will die on that. Anything else, any, any and all feedback for and give me a take every single thing I take notes. The minute he said something about my oh, I was like, now look in here, look at you have to stand for something. You have to have principles. Don't play with me. Don't bother with my own. I can tell you right now it ain't happening. And this was a long intro and you won't get jammed in. Yeah. That was a long intro. But I ain't gonna lie. Like that should go on. Like, I mean, they cut it in all. I mean, I was jammed. It's also a long podcast. Like I feel like the longer the video, it's okay to have a long intro. So if you give like a two hour, three hour podcast, a minute, intro is fine. Yeah. No big deal. We have some hot takes on here. I could already feel it. Pick up your sense. I appreciate you all having me on. I hope that you all won't regret it. I had fun with Lance yesterday. That was like the warm up. That was the four play for what is the leftist mafia. So, you know, here we are for, you know, like another time you're getting back to back to back. It'd be like what it is. Terminator. It's a terminator. Not a terminator. What it is. Align me. What the movie is. First of all, somebody, somebody said in the comments, I'm so fried. And I like zoned out into another world thinking about it. Because you said my name just now and I was like, right. Right. Joe. I heard it was terminated, but I don't know what you're talking about. Oh my God. Where. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh my God. You all got both of us. I'm saying pork out at the same time. A lot of his mercy. Bless you. I'm just, I want to talk too much today because I took today off. So I have like no idea what's going on right now. There's like a lot of news around Tennessee. I will get to it, but I'm really confused about all the news today. Yeah. There's a lot happening. We'll get to it all though. I did not take today off regrettably. And so I have the deeds. I know that Blair was talking about it beforehand too, but yeah, there's a lot of really fucked up dystopian stories. So yeah. I'm just distracted by, by the description of, of going on lens to show as, as foreplay. I'm really. You had to bring that box. I thought I was going to say that's fine. You did. Well, no, because I wanted to mention what you said at the end of our conversation, which was fucking, it was awesome. By the way, I had so much fun. You were like, we just spoke for, I think like an hour and a half. And like, there was, there was no cancel culture. There was no like, I overstepped my bounds. You overstepped your bounds. We talked about difficult topics. We, we, I'm sure we're all over the place, but it was just a wonderful conversation. You know, we were just trying to like that. I totally agree with your take that like people who think that like, well, you can't, you can't say anything on live internet anymore. You'll be canceled instantly by, you know, the people. It's like, it's ridiculous. You know, if you're, if you're in good faith, having a great conversation about something, if you're not like, you know, maybe directly in that group or something, the other people know, right? You know, like there's, there's, there's no malice. Yeah. Like it's, it's exaggeration, but I think what it mostly is more times and not the people that are claiming that you can't talk and that they're being censored are the people that really feverishly are like brick hard, diamond hard, like literally cut through cheese. How hard they are because they want to say the N word. They want to say the N word. They want to say the trans women aren't women. They want to say all the things are caught like that. You normally say quiet. They want to say that out loud, like with their whole diaphragm. And the problem is that in civil society, the lock in, you know, social contract that we have today, like you can't say, you can't, you can't shoot, you can't say fire in a little, in a crowded theater. You know, you have to, even if you're saying them things, like you have them things inside your head. You could disabuse yourself of that. But at the end of the day, you ain't good. You're not going to invalidate someone's experience, which if you follow, you know, the service, if you follow any of your, you all been retweeting, just basically rage bait for me. Every time when I open up Twitter, I just, I just look and the service is the first thing I see. And it's just. Oh, Lance has always taken to it. Yeah. Me going hard on, on, on in the meme wars. I feel that's my, that's my best contribution though. Like I even, even my enemies acknowledged that like the nicest compliment I've ever had is like Lance, I don't like your politics, but I follow you for the woke lulls. That's kind of awesome. You know, like, yeah. Okay. For anyone that doesn't know your YouTube channel, do you want to talk about what you do there and all that? Yeah. I'd be forgetting. I'm going to lie. Um, yeah. No, for a month in the foreign land, my big envy them woman, lemon man them. I basically use my political science masters to disabuse people of their bigotry as I am disabusing myself of mine. Um, I think that that's one of the things that people enjoy about the foreign land, which is that I don't perform perfect leftism, um, by any means, not because like, I think I'm above it, but because I am a terrible actor at that. Um, I have jumped in front of all of the different phobias and isms that I have been office of, whether it be homophobia, um, shoots. I wasn't even on transphobia in the Bahamas. Like we ain't even on the transphobia yet. We still dealing with sexism. So like, you know, there's steps. There's levels. You know, you can't, there's steps to bigotry. You know, so I mean, we ain't even there yet. Um, we're getting there. Uh, but you know, things about growing up as a Caribbean conservative and then, um, not like hard C, but like lower KC, socio-conservativism in the Bahamas, we enjoy our welfare system. So not physically conservative, but like. The Bahamas is very conservative, incredibly conservative, incredibly conservative. Like do not, do not be mistaken. Very conservative. Like, and, and like highly xenophobic and very Puritan about what is the Bahamian? Who was the Bahamian? Who comes with the Bahamian? Like I did not know what it is in the Bahamas. I count now because my people love me. I claimed it right in the public space. But growing up, no, so you are African. They are African name. Why your parents name you that? Oh, the way you're describing it, arguing over who is a real Bahamian. That sounds a lot like leftists. Who's the real leftist? You're not a real leftist. Trust me, trust me, trust me. They give it a while. They give it a while. And Mamons are very like, you know, it's not like, it's not like the conservatives in America to write a very corny. Like their jokes are not good. Their attacks don't make no sense. You know what I mean? No, Bahamians are very funny and very disrespectful. And so it's, you can't beat them. You can't beat them. An overwhelming majority. You can't even try. It's so hard. I tell Ford of like, you know, it's much, much harder to be an advocate like this at home, like at home because the answer is, you don't get tired of talking shit. All right. You give a whole dissertation. Famous to be like, what the fuck do you think reading that? They just, none of that. It's like, I mean, it's like, it's like, it's a Caribbean thing in the sense that it is across the entirety of the region. To varying degrees. But let me not like be mistaken. It was endowed to us. We were, we inherited our bigotry. You know, we are not authors of it. We make it good. We are adapted our bigotry. Like mine, you are bigotry is hit. American bigotry has fallen off. You're only getting too creative. North American bigotry taken like a, the peak of North American bigotry was probably like 2016, like Trump factory, Rush Limbaugh. We talked about it yesterday. Like them fellows was in their bag with their bigotry. Like I talk and they knew what they were saying. They were on point with the messaging. The left needs to do better with the messaging. However, in the Bahamas, we make bigotry funny. That shit hits. Like I talk about it stings. And like, yeah, you know, and like, and the point is, does that make you more dangerous? Yes. Because Rodney Monca is a national treasure. Yes. Yes. Because we have like, Oh my God. I wish y'all could see Rodney Monca. Like the truth. He in a different lifetime, he should be like the greatest comedian of all time. But unfortunately, he's someone staring the minds of the people. Rodney Monca. He'll get up and say stuff like, like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Like I'm storing on. I'm just not myself. My source, Haha. All it takes is one person to clip that and they gets a, a lie me said, Right. He's so funny. Like there's this. Okay. Let me give you an example. So there's a newspaper in the Bahamas called The Tribune, and it's run by a bunch of white people. And then, so anyway, there was a hurricane, and they both published two newspapers, published an article, and it said, Unlivable. One said, Unlivable, and one spelled it wrong. And he said, he said, over here, it says, Unlivable. Over here, it says, oh my God, I am so empirous, so I people them unlivable. Oh my God, I am so saddened. I am so saddened. How you get this wrong? Oh my God, he's like, he doesn't believe us. Like, we deep-throwed the boot of, like, white supremacy. Like, the thing is, I fled Iowa. I did my political science whole tertiary education in Iowa. I know. I know. Don't say it. And, like, the whole fact of the matter is, like, I tried to leave. I had to flee the country. Not because, like, I had warrants anything like that as the right would want you to believe, but because I was just drowning in a sea of white. Like, I was, like, blinded by the white. I had to bust one of these. Like, you know, like, when you go outside first thing in the morning, and it's just that white, it's bright outside. And, like, I have to do one of them. Like, that was me, and I was just like, I can't take this shit no more. There ain't no season on the food. Everybody, like, I get followed at best by, fuck it. No, I'm gone. I'm out of here. So, like, I go back home. I eat some conch salad, drink a colic. And then the person next to me looks just like me. I, like, how I'd go, brother, it's nice to see you. I ain't just, like, you know, them gay people over in the States, man, they could burn in hell. I'm just like, bro, I just got here. No, babe. I just got here. Dog, dog. Oh, my God. And, like, the Bahamas were literally, like, you don't understand how bad it is. You don't understand when it's the majority. Like, our newspaper will say it, like, so, like, and I, like, that's crazy, but it'll be, like, gay person is killed in the article. The headline will be, like, I can't say where I'm going to help. Like, that'll be the headline. That'll be the headline, like, what's that mean? And, like, it looks like you. So the white supremacy, the colonialism, it looks like you. It's familiar. And it has the panoply of being, you know, melanin. So, like, it's one thing for me to, like, try to fight white supremacy that looks like Donald Trump. I could speak to the choir in the States as far as just, like, having a leftist community and saying, you know, yeah, like, progressive values, whatnot. When I come home and I, you know, see on a regular basis an ex, like, an exorbitant amount of bigotry, how do you address it? Because it's not like it's white folks doing it. It's the racial dynamic is gone. So it's just internalized, misogyny, internalized homophobia, puritan values, like, I mean, it's in and I've kind of, like, changed it around. So I fled the Bahamas. I fled Iowa to get away from the bigotry, just to realize that now I'm getting it and it just looks like me at this point. So, I mean, it's... I'm curious because, like, in the U.S., there's a lot of things intertwined with the bigotry, white supremacy, certainly. But a lot of it also stems from, like, evangelicalism and, like, this religious fundamentalism. Is that a component of the Bahamas? Bahamas is constitutionally Christian. And if you let me, and this is how we say it, this is how you have to say it. This is a Christian nation. Okay, okay. That's how you have to say it. Bahamins are constitutionally Christian. Religionary school, everything is every single thing. Like, the whole... Yeah, so, yeah, we have a Christian council that is the worst thing. I personally believe the Christian council is one of the worst things in the Bahamas. And I don't know if you remember, if you experienced this as a child for it, but I remember when we had to lobby to get our part in the movie theaters. Like, I remember. What? Which is crazy. Which is crazy now, given, like, rodents' politics. It's amazing. Like, we were trying to get her. Turns out the Christian council was right. That was a big thing. That was a big thing. I remember I had to go to my Grammy. But the whole presentation, I was like, Grammy, Grammy, check this out, check this out. I'm like, you know how all the fairy tales is just the bottle of the Neville? She's like, yeah, same thing. Same thing, man. Oh, you wanted something, you wanted. You wanted, but I had to petition her. And that's the only reason. Try to change your times, because the Christian council wasn't having it. The Christian council is... I remember when they put out, they had everybody thinking the Furbies was... The Furbies was possessed by... I remember these stories about Furbies being possessed and like demonic or something. Listen, don't let them into anything like that. They already think something in the water in the States, okay? They heard that and I've never got a Furbie to this day. I remember that. I remember my Grammy, but we're reading that like Bible. The Christian council, they holding us back. We, they holding us back. To be fair, though, I think that they were right about Furbies being demonic. There is something inherently evil about Furbies that I can't explain. They're just very creepy. Probably right. I myself was scared at all. So I wouldn't want a Furbie in my house like this. Yeah, but no way. The Christian council, despicable, despicable bunch. They came out, we had a referendum that was basically, this encapsulates it perfectly. We had a referendum, not recently. This was like 10 years ago. And they essentially were saying if women could pass on citizenship to their children. It was when I was in college. I remember this. It like citizenship right now is patrilineal. So like the only, if I, a Bahamian mind, have a child with an American woman, then the child will be Bahamian. If a Bahamian woman, yeah. But if I have a child with an American mind, a child ain't gonna be Bahamian. It could be born in the Bahamas. It's pretty sexist I'm so. Listen, Bahamas don't play. And but you have to understand how deeply embedded the Bahamas is in our bigotry. Being like in the States, like how y'all could all this free talk about it. No, no, no, no. Okay. We had a referendum to change that. And like I graduated college in 2015. So like 2014, Bahamians, women included, overwittingly voted to keep it. It was, Bahamians still regularly debating marital rape on a day-to-day basis. And- Oh my God. But you don't understand. When I go back home, my head is spin. I'd be like, Lord, like the whole time I'm in the States, I'm like, oh, Bahamian, Bahamian, Bahamian, I go home and say, oh my God. It's because you get down. It's because you get down. I say, alimony, you so popular, you got all these platforms. You doing good. Where the child come in though? When my baby come in? Where, where? Listen, listen. Loan foolishness. Loan foolishness. So, you feel like you just can keep saying all I'm saying. In the States, alim, alim, alim, alim, alim gay stuff they use to be talking about. What's your parents thinking of? Oh, they stopped my daddy in the bank. Oh my God, they stopped my daddy in the bank. But this is what my daddy said that day. My daddy, you say the woman in the bank was like, you need to tell your daughter to be careful, say it or less. My daddy was like, do not worry about my daughter. She's been in the States for a long time. She has been there, trust me. She knows, she knows. This is not, the States is not like the Bahamas. She can say what she wants. They blow up all the time. They always say a thing. Even my own great aunt just be like, oh, still with the blackie, black stuff. Literally, I made a video about combating Caribbean homophobia, even my own. I got death threats and I got disowned by half of my cousin. I was like, fuck you all. Y'all don't do nothing. Oh my God. I was just like, literally, just for me, and that's the reason why I did this shit. Because I was just like, OK, I want to get out ahead of this. And I know that my language, the homophobia is so built in that as I began to get a platform, I realized I was just like, I'm probably going to slip up and say some very homophobic shit. So let me get ahead of this and just address this upfront. It was not for the solicitude of people. It wasn't because I was a good person or altruism. It was because I know I'm a dumb ass and I will say some dumb shit. So I was just like, OK, you know what? Let me just talk about it. Because I do want to rid myself of this. I want to get better. I'm a recovering homophobe. So I was just like, OK, let me talk about it. And I just said, I was never cartoonishly homophobic. But things like saying, you like man, is basically like. Like, yeah. We say that so casually. You know that I'm candy-mine when people are like, no. And I remember that you don't address that on this, Americans. You leave. You leave something like him. You leave him alone. I'm saying some things that I should not be able to say, because literally, it just takes one behavior inside this chart. And like, it's an APB on my house. Like, legit, like. No, you leave. You leave that alone. Next question. But like, for real, like, it's like casual things inside our verbiage, inside our equation. So like, it wasn't saying, like, that it's gay. It's basically saying that, oh, whatever you're doing, I don't like, so I'm equating it to being gay. And I said, basically, how that language in itself creates an environment that makes it difficult for people who are queer or may not even know that they're queer and people may not be out. And even though you're not saying it maliciously, it's still malicious in effect. And when I made that video, I literally got a message from my dad. My dad is literally in the government. And he's just like, son, my secretary just brought this to my attention. What are you doing? I thought you were studying law. Oh, my god. And from then on, like, I got cousins and everybody saying, you know, very big in the Christian, like using the protection of Christianity, saying, oh, you know, Sodom and Gomorrah, this for harmless. It's gone to the dogs, the Christian values that we've founded this great nation on is going away. It's being, it's in the vaccine. Literally, we have people in the, like, people talking about the vaccine still saying that they're waiting. Rodney Costa, too. Rodney Costa, too. He calls that Trump, kind of. Yeah, he's all right. Rodney's so funny, though. Like, he ain't way funny in him. He ain't Trump funny, funny, funny. Rodney funny. Hold on, hold on. You keep talking about this, man. My favorite Rodney clips. Y'all just take the show before we take the show. I was talking about taking the show. Yeah, I was talking about the first time. This is really interesting, though, because I had no idea about, like, the social conservatism. And it's, it is hard to, like, deprogram yourself because, you know, I grew up in, like, the church and it was like, I was brainwashed from a very young age. So deprogramming yourself, like, takes so long. And, like, trying to unlearn all, like, the bad habits, it's impossible. Like, even today, like, for me, like, I am trying to unlearn, like, the weird tendencies that I had, like, that was embedded in me, like, from a child. Like, you know, these weird stereotypes about gay people being, like, perverted or overly promiscuous, like, I always try to be, like, the good gay because I'm, like, the only one that my family knows. So it's like, if I fuck up then, they hate all gay people. That's what's on the line, you know? So it's like, yeah, so it's like, but then again, you know, you try to unlearn that because, like, no, this is me kind of, like, internalizing this idea that, oh, they think gay people are inherently evil. Well, I'm just a normal person. I shit. I'm just like everyone else, you know, so. I want to bust something up. I shit. I do other things. That's what it's all about. Yeah. And, like, it's like, and that's so equatable to, like, the Black experience, too. Because when, like, for instance, unfortunately, Jonathan Majors, who, like, literally, like, you could stand in one second and then, like, a week later, all of this shit comes out and his lawyers literally out there. Basically, I know I've laid down and talked about it before. But, like, every time, like, when I look at it, I was just like, damn, that was the shortest. That 15 minutes of fame was, like, 10. Like, I was just like, god damn. Because, like, I mean, like, it just don't make no sense. And the whole fact of the matter is that that experience just by Jonathan Majors being Black and him coming out and doing something like that, then casts an aspersion on just the Black community in general. Definitely Black men. To be a Black man with a beard, it was not a good time on Twitter. I, like, I just had to go and say my little part. I say, I stand with victims and I execrate this type of culture because if I say anything more, it'll just say, yeah, you see, you used to say Black man with a beard, you, oh, you wretch of the earth. Like, Fanon was talking about you specifically. And that's the thing, like, it's a monolith. Like, gay folks, queer folks, marginalized experiences, they monolith, they make it a monolith because that's how they erase culture in general. And by they, I mean, whiteness. It's a system. Yeah. I find, Lauren, I find a Rodney clip. Y'all have to, I sent it to the leftist mafia chat so y'all could play just to give you. This is Rodney. Rodney was given Rodney's clowny of a media show, but they go out and give Rodney a position in parliament and suddenly he was going to ask him, how do you, what do you have to say about your critics? I say, you should know this position and go put a little video, play it for the people. Oh, no, why? I don't know. I don't see it. I see it. Oh, so they're ascending? Oh my God, why don't you, oh. Dust, dust, dust. Just a chat, right on the screen, it's just stream labs, you can send it, if you have the link through the private chat. Stream labs, what'd you say? Let's go, I'm trying to stop you. The thing we're using right now to stream this, there's a private chat link. If you click there and then you could post a link in there. Right. It's the private chat link. Oh, no, it's sent, it's sent, thank God. Oh, no. No, no, no. Oh, God, it's sent, it's sent, yeah. David's looking like goddamn, what is this? I just gotta figure out a way to do a... It's this TOS, like. There's no way for me, it's not going full screen, so it's like a little tiny. What, why is it not working? Oh my God, what? It's opening and closing. I don't even know what's happening. It's totally, like, it's totally, it's like a refugee rocket. Everything, man. Why is life like this? You can hear the audio, I can do, I mean, you just can't see the guy. You should... I barely see him. You gotta get the full effect. No way, yeah, you're getting robbed of us. You need this representation. You know what, let me, nah, I won't tweet it, because I have to tweet into these Americans. You will get off screen and they'll just be like, Alaini, you're platforming bigotry, Hey, this, oh no, this video, I have this video with them. This video is one of my favorites in my phone for the day I need to truly respond to some controversy. This is my former, my soul revived for it. I got this from the minute I ever seen it, I was like, favorite, but I was like, this, this man right here, he know how to deal with some, he know how to handle things. Oh my God, he's crazy. Mikey of A Beautiful Bed, by the way, you two man and David, but I mean, I'm very partial to Mike's bed because I'm trying to get that girth. You know, that's, that's, yeah, that's me. I aspire to have, just leave, just leave the sexual innuendo alone. That's just, that's just normal, normal, regular and normal over here. Oh boy, I don't figure out how to send this to them. Wait, Mike, you can't hear you, Mike. Yeah, Mike, you're muted, I think. Mike's, Mike is. Yeah, you're so good. Yeah, Mike's, Mike's. It's gotta be, uh, nope. Oh, you got censored, canceled culture. The Kings of Mike's. I sent you the video on WhatsApp, can you figure out how to get it to you? Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll try. Yeah, do that. That's probably the easiest way. Lance, when I found out that you had WhatsApp, I was just like, wait, I thought Lance was American. I remember. Wait, okay, I don't understand that. Is WhatsApp like a thing that's like not known for Canadians? It's foreign, it's foreign, it's foreign, it's use WhatsApp. It's a calling card. It's like, uh, interesting. Okay. It's, it's foreign. You're, you're foreign coded at that point. Like if you say something, like if I see what's up on your phone, I know that like somehow, some way you're not from America, you're not North American. Well, WhatsApp is really big in the, especially in like, uh, South America. It's huge. WhatsApp. Oh, it's, a lot of people use this WhatsApp more than any other social media I think right now. Same thing, same thing in the Bahamas, yeah. Yeah. I feel like Canadians use it though. Like I, I'm family of mine. Yeah, you guys are foreigners. Yeah. You're, you're, you're America likes it. You're dying America, okay? You're not American. So you're foreigners to me. When I saw that truck rally, I was just like, God damn, they want to be Americans so bad. Why? Like I'm just like, Oh, I know. Oh God, I covered that garbage. We can go off on that for an entire two hours. All right. I'm sending it to the chat. You should have it now. David, I converted it into the sunspace. It should work. You just got to go. Oh, there we go. Hey, Mike, is your, Mike, is your mic fixed? The file has been deleted and cannot be restored. What? This is literally, listen. Y'all are walking your blessings. Rodney is a, is a menace to society. Oh, now it's, now it's. These are all different people. These are all different people. Listen, I think. This is, this is from coming out. I think the Bohemian authority is heard. They're monitoring this stream. They heard you commend his beard. And they were like, no, we're not having this. We're cutting this off. No, take that down. We're cutting his mic. We're breaking the videos. I'm having a feeling censorship might not be on this case. Here we go. We're like, here you go. Okay, let's see this. Okay, hopefully we got it now. Cause I just want y'all to. I'm so scared like this. I wish y'all could see how behavior politicians, I just need to do a compilation. We should make a compilation of like, Hubert, minutes, a minutes, just a just minutes. And Rodney responding to this. We have, and that's the reason why like cornbread tube, me and Lance were talking about this yesterday, cornbread tube, the, the, the melanated equivalent of bread tube is so important because like, y'all are going to Shapiro Peterson. Matt waltz yourselves to death. I cannot even control anything here. This is an uploaded video. You're going to start it over, start it over. I can't, I can't. I have no control over this video. It's just like, hold up, hold up, hold up. Here we go. This is as loud as I can go. I can't do anything about it. Let's just be quiet. I think they're not safe. They're not sanctified. And they're not full of the holy ghost. All right. Rodney's so fucking out serious. Oh my God. It's right down the brass tacks, you know? Listen, Rodney is. You are not safe. They said, they said, what do you say to critics? Who critics? Who say you should not have been given this appointment? They are not safe. They are not sanctified. And they are not filled with the holy ghost. What are you saying? That's the point. Like, what do you say to something like that? And that's what we're trying to say. Like, it's just, you can't beat Bob. It sounds like a lot of conservatives in America as well. Just different kind of. Quick question. Was the movie, was the movie, was the movie that it will be blood very popular in both of them? It's because it looks like he's dressed like he's from that movie, isn't it? Yeah, Rodney, isn't it? What was the skylight going down? The guy looked like he was about to actually just say, hold up on your questions. I just struck a oil. OK, yeah, y'all take over the show before we behave it out. Yes, please. You're sorry. That was enough of the interlude. I am sorry for the behaving hour. This is what was going to happen. Are you kidding? Stop apologizing. Can you hear me? Yes, yes. Oh, OK, it works. OK. I got it. I was like, David, let me in. Please. I did text you. That reminded me, yes. You're all the way down there at the bottom. It's hard to see you in there. It was like one of those nightmares where you're being, like, murdered and you're trying to scream, but it's just silence and nobody can hear you. Or you wake up and you can't move. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how I felt like, but I'm back and I feel like I'm alive again. I was saying, Foren, thank you for the beard compliments. And I think that it's because we're both polysine masters that we have an affinity for beards. It's like an appreciation. Like, it comes with the scholarliness of us, right? OK, I could see clearly now. Yeah, for sure. That's definitely what it is. And now I could see, like, the jadedness, too, coming off, too. Yeah, the cynicism of the political science masters. You look like a political science master, honestly. You look like a doctor at Oxley. Like, you just do stupid things. Yeah. Bro, like, I've never heard anyone describe Matt Binder or that. Yeah, neither have I. I went to film school. I got a degree in film. That's it. I did not know that. That's amazing. I did not know that. Where is my light on? I mean, same here. But, well, more focused on broadcast, video production, news production, but, yeah. All of y'all. Same with Matt. Matt, you look more like the doctor's drug dealer. That's damn. I've heard that from a lot of people. And I got to say, I do. Like, I do look like I am. In a wholesome way. In a wholesome way. There's one wholesome drug dealer. You're a wholesome drug dealer. I look like. There's really baddies. I also look like the drug dealer that probably samples too much of his product. I mean, I've been told I look like someone who uses drugs. And the funny thing is completely strange. No, you look like you look like you could be the brown version of an Avril Lavigne music video love interest in the early 2000s. That's what I'll take that. Very, very, very, very. That's what he looked like, though. That's what he looked like. Like you can see it. You see it. All right. That was a fair call out. Yeah, I'll be I'll be your skater boy. Yeah, actually speaking of skater boys, we got to get skater video. They're a skater adjacent related video. This is so I saw this pop up. Excellent. I'm not sure how recent this is, but this is going around now. So I've seen a few people show this. Let me bring it up here. Biggest love interest. Oh, my God, the chat is one of the best parts of this entire thing. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. All right, here. Irritous. I love it. I believe I believe this is QAnon shaman. Oh, no, this is this is. Oh, bitch. Oh, this is funny. No, no, you're not this is actually a comedian. This is a guy who I'm sorry. Yeah, that's definitely not the QAnon shaman. He actually was just released from jail this past week. I never I never thought it was the actual one. I thought it was someone dressing up like someone like yeah. Right. No, it's a it's a comedian from Brooklyn who is doing a skater. So he didn't actually get hurt. I mean, I'm sure I'm sure it hurt like just like pro wrestling. I'm sure he got very badly injured. I'm thinking he was an actual like mega guy. Yeah, no, he's not a mega guy. Unfortunately, I thought I thought it was me. No. Oh, I'm gutted. I watched that video like four times in a row, just like crying, laughing at it so hard. And now the guy did what he stood out to do. He's a comedian. He wanted to make you laugh. Damn, that's true. That's true. I just wanted like there's more buy in there. Like I wanted it to be an actual mega shot who fell off the bike. The actual funniest thing I saw from there, and this is thanks to Ben Collins from NBC's reporting. You know how Marjorie Taylor Green was drowned out by everybody blowing these whistles that they had there? Well, it turns out Ben Collins of NBC News, he found the guy who was handing out the whistles and he was a mega guy, a Trump supporter who was there handing them out in order for them to be blown in support of Trump and he didn't realize he was handing them out to all these people who are anti-Trump. And he offered Ben Collins one, too. Ben Collins was trying to ask him about the whistles like he won't want. It's just so good. Since you brought up Green, this video will always make me laugh because of how ridiculous this is. I know she had to go to Trump. This is Marjorie Taylor Green's, I guess, new defense of Trump. Listen to this. President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested. Jesus. Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government. There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested. I know she's thought she's lying. I've seen a shift before. And it's beginning today in New York City. And I just can't believe it's happening, but I'll always support Easton. It's just amazing. You guys remember Michael Brooks's character, right-wing Mandela? I mean, it's too bad he's no longer with us because he would have had a field day with that. But did you see the follow-up clip to that, by the way, when the two of them entered their interview? Didn't they kiss or something? Yeah, I just posted it in the police play. It's even funnier than that clip. The private chat? Well, David's queuing that up. I'm really sorry, everybody. I have to take off early. I have an appointment I have to go to. Yeah, I'm very, very sorry. I love all y'all. Bye, man! When is your last person? He's the best person. Talk later. Have an awesome ending podcasting. Oh, and who wants to raid? I'll send my audience to whoever's streaming. Send it to me! I'm on Twitch. That Twitch thing is so different from YouTube. I don't even know how that thing goes raid. When I first heard that, I was just like, wait, is this good? Yeah, when I first went to Twitch, I'm still confused. Yeah, I thought that a raid was bad at first, because one of my comments is like, oh, you just got raided, Mike. And I'm like, oh, no, what does that mean? Is it like a bunch of Nazis coming up? Like, what's going on? So, all right. Bye-bye, all right. So, all right. Yeah, they're dating, apparently. So this is kind of an interview. What? What the heck is this kind of interview? Like, man went for a hold for it. He missed it. All right. Babe, why does man look just like brain? Like, he's in the brain. He's in the brain, man. He's in the brain, he's in the brain, had a house in the good. He's fucking crazy. Oh, my God. He doesn't look like that. He doesn't embrace ever. Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh. That looks like me when I was in my straight face kissing my girlfriend. That was weird. That was awkward. That was not normal. That's like a grand kiss. Like, that's like, what's going on? That's so crazy. This makes no sense, like. These people. This is what you are taught in J-School, that at the end of the interview, you give the interviewer, you give your subject a smooch. Normal, regular. Right. Is this what you do, Matt, as a journalist? This is what you do as a journalist, right? I mean, I almost had that. I almost got that interview with Trump. And the real reason I wanted it was to plant a big ol' smooch on his face. I mean. You get all kind of spray-tun on your face. You leave bronze. You know. Oh, my God. Well, should we talk about the Tennessee situation, because I know a lot of people were commenting. And it's really, it's kind of like crossing the Rubicon in a different way, at least when it comes to fascism. I don't know if anybody wanted to start or if, I know Blair was talking about it, but I can, I can also open as well, if you all want. Feel free to take it away. OK, so basically, after the Nashville shooting, there were thousands of protesters, mostly Gen Z activists, that were marching in Tennessee. They marched straight up to the Capitol. They had disrupted a session. And in solidarity with these protesters, there were three lawmakers who basically joined them. And they went up to the podium and they started talking about the need for gun control. And because they joined this protest, not even joined, just stood in solidarity with them and uttered positive comments about it. The right is now labeling that as an insurrection. And now they were up for expulsion. Media was pushed out. In fact, Justin Jones, who was expelled, was filming just like the chance from the Gen Z activists outside. And on video, he caught one of his Republican colleagues just straight up assaulting him. It's genuinely insane. They're very brazen. But now one of the three have been expelled. I think this is developing, so I'm not sure where we're at currently. And yeah, they were literally expelled just for saying that there should be gun control. It's unhinged. Like, I get that the Tennessee Republican Party, they're against gun control. They've kind of gone in the opposite direction and deregulated even further. But this is like next level fascism. And there's a lot of protests right now in Tennessee. And they're chanting, fuck you fascists, because this is straight up authoritarianism here. Here's a speech from Justin Pearson, who was either him who's been expelled or the other Democrat. Yeah, Justin Jones was expelled as far as I know. I don't know if Pearson is gonna be expelled or was expelled yet, but he was up for expulsion. No, they were both expelled. They were three people up for expulsion, the two young black men and an older white woman, and they voted to not expel the white woman. Who, I mean, there's a message there for sure. I mean, the Republicans who made that decision are sending a clear message there just to be clear. But also we should also say that, you know, she's come out and said that herself too. The woman who stood with them, she was asked, why do you think you weren't expelled? And she said, maybe it's just the color of my skin. Like she's calling it out too, so good for her. I did read though that there's gonna be a special election and they will be allowed to run again. Like they're not banned from running. And if they run again and win, they cannot be expelled again for the same thing. Like that's it. So it's possible that these Tennessee Republican lawmakers just, you know, how Republicans were going crazy this past week about how we've turned Donald Trump into a martyr. I mean, they may very well have actually done that with these two young men. These two guys are gonna have a big future, I think, in politics for sure. Yeah, this speech is really good. Let me just play this clip. That's what they're saying. And you are seeking to expel District 86's representation from this house. In a country that was built on a protest. In a country that was built on a protest. You who celebrate July 4th, 1776. Pop fireworks and eat hot dogs. You say to protest is wrong because you spoke out of turn. Because you spoke up for people who are marginalized. You spoke up for children who won't ever be able to speak again. You spoke up for parents who don't want to live in fear. You spoke up for Larry Thorne who was murdered by gun violence. You spoke up for people that we don't want to care about. In a country built on people who speak out of turn, who spoke out of turn, who fought out of turn to build a nation. I come from a long line of people who have resisted. I think that's what we're talking about. Yeah, they're great. Justin Jones, if you watch any of his speeches, they're incredible. It's clear why they made him a target because it's not just this issue. Like he has been holding the Republican Party accountable and really standing up for his constituents and representing Gen Z in a very loud way. And so they wanted to find some excuse to get rid of him because he's been a Thorne on their side. And they did. Like it's not just this issue, like gun control. Like on LGBTQ plus issues, when it comes to welfare issues, he is excellent. So these are two people who are leaders and they don't like that they're leaders. They don't like that they're able to set the agenda because that's what they want to do. They want to monopolize discourse and they just try to find some way to undemocratically remove them. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I mean, I'm not surprised. It's just the reality. We can't constantly recognize that the Republicans are fascist at this point. I say it every episode, like this is the kind of extremism. This is not at all surprising. And I would like, in a different world, you want to, and first of all, yes, that speech is incredibly, clearly an incredible speaker. And in a different world, you'd like to be like, oh yeah, he'll have a great career in politics because you see how talented he is or how great of a speaker is. But in this world where he's a black man in that environment where those kind of powerful white supremacists have it out for him so bad that they would remove him. I think I worry about his safety. Long-German, I think that's something that doesn't get, I feel like mainstream media will never delve into that part of it because to delve into that would have to be to recognize the kind of dangerous forces these people are with the kind of things they've done, historic things and the reality of that. And it would change the tenor of the very both sides, the way people try to treat politics. A real thing is his safety, honestly. That's something that I think about that in a situation where people have targeted him as somebody that is a leader, as somebody that they need to get rid of, as somebody that they would go to these lengths. So yeah, I hope he stays covered. Yeah, I think of credit. This is a Jones, I can play this as well if you want. Yeah. Let's talk about expulsion. For you. Oh, this is a good one. This is a really good one. I forgot about this one from earlier because I saw the other guys too. No expulsion. One member sits in this chamber who was found guilty of domestic violence. No expulsion. We had a former speaker sit in this chamber who is now under federal investigation. No expulsion. We have a member still under federal investigation. No expulsion. We had a member pee in another member's chair in this chamber. No expulsion. In fact, they're in leadership, but in the governor's administration. So once again, what you're saying to us that you're trying to put us on trial, I'll say what you're really putting on trial is the state of Tennessee. What you're really showing for the world is holding up a mirror to a state that is going back to some dark, dark roots. A state in which the Ku Klux Klan was founded is now attempting another power grab by silencing the two youngest black representatives and one of the only democratic women in this body. That's what this is about. Let us be real today. Yeah, it's like they're incredible. They're incredible. But when I see incredible black men in this context doing this, I can't help but recognize all the times I've seen incredible black men in that context doing that. And we are talking about them in what ifs and what could have been because past tense because they're killed, they're targeted and killed. So that is, like I say, and I think that's something, we forget sometimes how different different environments are for protests. And people could take that for granted. For what New York City is and what NYPD is, there's still a big difference between protests in a Black Lives Matter in Manhattan versus what it is in Mississippi. There are serious things. When I've talked to different organizers on the ground and different activists and stuff following the different deaths of different black people depending on what they are, they are far different constraints of what the danger is locally in those places and those environment. And the internet sometimes can blend the world in a way where we don't really realize like what the outside environment is there, right? Like that might be going viral on Twitter and we're like, oh my God, this person is amazing. This person is this, this person could be a great speaker and this person, but this person could be in real life where they're at, they are a target and they are a person that has a lot to be concerned about and are in danger. So when I see two black men and a woman targeted on this level to where they have to give a very moving speech like that, because I don't know when last I've seen either a speech to the level of either speech they've given, it makes me worry for them and hope for that they are covered and protected. And yeah, that's my thoughts on that. And like really, the point is also because people would have you believe that Alayme is being hyperbolic with this, but it is actually very tempered and a reasonable response because every black resistance movement, especially in continental USA has been either co-opted or just absolutely obliterated. We think of Black Wall Street. We think of, I saw people mention Fred Hampton, MLK, it's a constant, it's not like this is not, and in the same way when people are talking about the trans genocide that is happening and using those words extremely purposefully, it's because it exactly is. This is not hyperbolic, like this is not Fox News trying to say it's overblown, it's a sigh of or something like that. This is in fact, maybe not even speaking to the level of severity we need to take it to. And everything that black talented political orators, people with political talent like that, people made mention of the way that they spoke in the cadence being extremely religious and probably ecclesiastical and how the matrix for it was probably a church. And when you think about that, that's just so poetic because when we think about how the church as an institution is a place where they're able to develop these political talents at the same time they have to fight a litany of different aggressions whether it be the colonial construct of church, all the different things that are said in church in order to break down black men in particular and socialize them into being a particular way, yet they still come out like this. Which is my point that these men that we see, these talented political actors are everything despite what America has made. It's not because of, because America would like make you want to believe that, oh, pull yourself up by the bootstraps and you'll be able to make it, that is not true. The people that have made it and the people that they like to point to as paragons of political talent have made it despite what has been levied against them. So these men, if they are able to actually realize their full political talent and get to the stages that they deserve to be on, it is not because of America. It is in spite of America. Big facts, round of applause. Clap track. Well said. You can actually have a clap track but I'm not sure which button it is so I don't want to screw it up. I got an air horn but I don't know if it's going to play. Let's see if this, what's this? Oh. There we go. Yeah. I guess right, there we go. You could have done like a laugh track but it would have been completely inappropriate. Rational sense. There we go. Rational sense. I love that. Yeah, no, it's sad and like yet again, like especially also like these protests, we were talking about the trans genocide. Like it's very, it's not even eerie. It's extremely numb. Like when I was like hearing like a lot of me talk just now like the tiredness, the lethargy that you see on her is because she's out to say it like a million times. Like they're saying, you, it's almost like a broken record because you get tired and that's exactly what they want. Like they want you to get tired of, when I, listen, when they let them babies die in San Diego, I was just like, look, America will never. Oh yeah, I know. I feel the same way. Once that happened. It was over. Like I was just like the gun debate, like I say, you lost. Like they will care more about their guns than they babies. They will. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have one more clip that's actually, that's a Pearson talking to the media. This is also pretty good. At a principle, but that's what's being lost today. And so we're in Tennessee to be very concerned that we are not in a democracy. And across the United States of America, there has been no house members who have ever been expelled for exercising the first amendment rights and a peaceful protest. This is a first in American history and we are losing our democracy to white supremacy. We are losing our democracy to patriarchy. We are losing our democracy to people who wanna keep a status quo that is damning to the rest of us and damning to our children and unborn people. It is no coincidence that the two youngest black lawmakers in the state of Tennessee and one or two women are on trial today. That is not accidental. This is what happens when you lose democracy. This is what we are fighting against and must stand up against as legislators and as people and as citizens across this country. Because it's starting in Tennessee, but it won't end here. There you go. Maybe the person there, they're excellent speakers. Yeah. And even the Afro, all of it is purposeful with that. Like, unfortunately, black hair is very political, but even a choice like that, you think of Angela Davis, you think of the people that wear the, he knows what he's doing. And the thing is he has to perform these political markers in order to access even the rooms and the possibility of influence that he's able to access in. So like all of these different qualifiers he's doing in order to get into these rooms. So I watch his career with a lot of veganism and also trepidation. Yeah, rightfully so. It's just really dark times now. And I think that people, they're starting to wake up to the fact that one of two parties, one of the only two parties in this country that are electorally viable is fascist. And I don't think that they really understand what that means because to all of us, it's kind of a foreign concept. Like we think about fascism back in history in World War II. And it's like inconceivable that that could happen here and that fascism could be on the rise here. But it's like we're well past this whole identification phase, which is where I think some people are finally emerging and we're into the implementation part of the fascism. Like you look to Florida and specifically the laws that are being proposed. And it is deeply authoritarian. Laws that require journalists to register if they criticize the government. Laws that require universities to report on, I can't remember the specifics, report on what they're covering if they cover any social politics or critical race theory. Like these are all the state seizing power for fascistic reasons. You see the way that they go after opposition in a very authoritarian and direct manner. Like this is all part of fascism. Like fascism isn't like one thing. It's a number of things, there's criteria. And as the years go on, we meet more and more criteria. Like we check more boxes and we're starting to realize what that looks like. It looks like transgenocide. It looks like the disempowerment of political opponents in an authoritarian way. The removal of civil rights that have been fought for centuries. I mean, Roe v. Wade being overturned, it hasn't even been a year, but that is monumental. Like to even recall that, oh yeah, we're back to pre 1970 America with regard to reproductive rights. That is no small thing. And for people who are kind of like in this privileged position to where it doesn't personally affect them, it will affect you eventually because one by one, like each group, like everyone is gonna be touched by this in some way, because that's what fascism does. It is like the takeover of power, of culture, of all institutions. And so like we're seeing that. And I'm glad that people are starting to wake up finally and acknowledge it for what it is and finally use the F word, but we're kind of, we're past the acknowledgement phase as I was saying, and we need to be in the mobilization phase to stop it. If it's not too late. Is there any topics in the question form? Yes, absolutely. So, honestly, some of the questions, which I think are kind of back from earlier stuff, the questions want to know, what are some of the best Bahamian dishes? Oh, I'm full circle. My favorite ever is the staple Bahamian breakfast. And let me just say this before I say this, it's kind of sound whatever to y'all and I don't want to hear no sound. I'm ready to die about this, me and all Bahamians, but tuna and grits, that's my favorite. You ever, Americans is really crazy. They start to get that on Twitter, they just come talking shit. Oh, I want to eat that. That seems so, who asked you? I'm going to say, is it fresh tuna? You got to just say fire, fire, fire, fire. Fire engine is good, sheep tongue, baby girl. Sheep tongue, that's what I said. Sheep tongue is fire. But no, it's definitely tuna and grits and then I like a conch snack more. Which one prefer a conch snack or a conch salad? A conch snack, you mean like bamboo shot, conch snack? Yeah, bamboo shot. I used to be in fear of that. I'm sorry, what is that first word you're saying? We need more explanation. The magical conch. Like, you ever watched SpongeBob? Like the blow, blow, blow. Can we spell this? Because it sounds, I hate to do this. It sounds like something else. C-O-N-C-H. C-O-N-C-H. OK, OK. Y'all just say conch. Conch is very... Conch, oh, conch, oh, got it. OK. Conch is interact, no. No, no, no, oh. Conch. Conch? A lot of people say, no, no, no. Y'all in the community with Bahamian people, y'all can't say conch. But I can say it's a new video. Conch is like a Bahamian, like you don't understand. Like, that's very Bahamian, like conch. Which is why, you know, learn how to have the conch shell of the week. It's called a conch shell, a jackass conch shell. It's like a conch here today, yeah. Oh, conch. Conch. Yes. Conch? OK. Oh, OK. Sort of like the robot from Peewee's Playhouse. Conchie, conch. I get that, I get that. White Bahamians are called conchijos. There's a fun talk here. White Bahamians are called conchijos. So conch fritters. Conch fritters is Bahamian staple. Conch fritters. Squash conch, conch salad, conch snacks. We love, we love, we are conch people. We fry the conch, and they make it into conch snack. I like, I like squash conch though. I like squash conch with the... I like squash conch too. I like squash conch too. Oh, I'm getting hungry. It's too late to be this hungry. Yeah. I know Olai was making me hungry with the fries. When I see the French fries, that's when it's like, OK. You see that? Now I'm hungry. Yeah, yeah, there is someone saying, yeah, there are white Bahamians of course, yeah. And they are, they are just like, they sound just like us. So they're different, they're different kinds of white Bahamians now, mind you. They're like, they're white Bahamians who only want to be amongst white Bahamians, and they live on, they live on Spanish wells. I got a lot of islands. They have pinpoint places. There's some white Bahamians like that. And then there's some white Bahamians that are the hateful opposite. But anyway, they sound just like us. Yeah, they're right there. They're the minority though. They're the minority. The Bahamas is overwhelmingly black, overwhelmingly black. The black and the flag stands for the, stands for the people. Like legit, like. No, like actually, the black and our flag is for the people. Thinking, thinking of becoming a white Bahamian myself. Oh, no. I know who to pass. You'll never be a Bahamian. You are very, I just tell you, you're very Puritan. Very, and very xenophobic. So like, we could spot you out. Bahamians are not like foreigners. Okay, unless they're very white. It's a deep tank. It's a deep tank. It's very deep. It's very deep. It is very deep. You know, I asked me, you know, hold on, what time is it in the show? I'll tell you all a story to prove that Bahamians are anti-black. I'll tell you a late on in the story when the odds of Bahamians still being on hand able to see it on the island and my parents hear it. But I have a good story that'll really illustrate Bahamians internalize anti-blackness, because I really, I really catch my daddy in it this week. He is really trying to argue me down. I'm like, sweetie, take this out. Take this out, like, take this, take this. But I, you say what? You say tell her? Are there any Bahamians in the chat? Are there any Bahamians in the chat? Let's just give it a little bit. Who say? Where my, where my chin hanks at? Oh my God. This is my good question, sweetie. Tell the story now and I hear it. Okay. We don't have to wait. My daddy and my parents are going through a divorce, right? Yeah. Yeah, right. So my, my mommy rag tag, my daddy, ass and core, I just was, my daddy is very, very upset. So, so my daddy. My mommy lawyer is a black,喝in' moment. My daddy lawyer is a white Bahamian. But my daddy feel like he like, I can tell you who it is for later. All right. But it's like, a, a, a, a Bahamian family. A white Bahamian family to benefit generations. They were once upon a time from a different place but they are Bahamians. And they are racist as hell but they just as euros for every single thing. So my daddy call himself oh, oh, oh you know. because I'm like here's my daddy's lawyer I spoke to my daddy's lawyer and it's very clear to me to my daddy's lawyer don't fuck with my daddy and I know this because I'm a lawyer and I know what it looks like when you don't fuck with your client when you don't believe your client and I know it because my daddy was like reading some allegations from my mommy and my daddy said when the year was that my mommy said these allegations happened and so I responded back with the year and the lawyer was like why'd your daughter say that year that year like like he thought he caught and caught my daddy like yeah I know you do it it's like mom don't fuck with my daddy right I have the evidence my daddy had for his claim to my to say submit it right and

explaining he's still trying to defend his logic he's like oh see you have to understand me hold the way lawyers think sometimes you know you have to say it to them in a way so yeah anyway I said that to say yeah but here in the generalize the same foolishness anti-blackness anti-blackness you got to dodge it there's my story the the average white tourist that comes to the Bahamas can literally access a lot of privilege and not even know what side of the road we drive on like I swear to you like if I go to the bar and a white terrorist is also at the bar I can have a hundred dollar bill in my hand and I say sweet mutton beautiful lovely empress please may I get henny with crown I could sit at the top of my lungs with the deepest bar atone all this white boy would his straw hat need to do his his lobster um um doctor's white board click and ask all you need to do is come up inside the place come to the bar sit yas down and and just said um miss may I get boom boom big service big service she comes yes yes sir yes sir what would you like like what would you like you see the white you see the white people buying a pig zoom up all right man look why are you bringing this I went I went to exuma last year and I saw so many I listen you don't understand I saw more white people and I am supposed to see people in exuma I say what is this I say darling the bushes where we paying attention they are buying up all the line they're buying up all the line it's for sale like a lot of a lot of like the bomb is this for sale and I mean like we also have like this constant debate about like um chinese american foreign direct investment and diplomacy you have like a lot of xenophobia in that regard like you have some behemian saying oh the chinese is buying up the place the chinese the chinese are more like you have no problem you mad because let's be real you're mad because they because they got like a little bit of tint to them you're mad because they a little bit then white then pink they got like a little bit of a tint because you ain't mind when the americans building the one of the largest friggin buildings in your capital down square if you see the american embassy it is literally towering it looks it I telling you like it ain't no one inch pinch this is a long structure erected in the down square and behemians to say that's a beautiful building that is

uh it sounds a little bit like an excuse yeah I was gonna I mean yeah that's why I failed uh three times as well yeah that's crazy no listen no no I'll fail no more baby now I will tell you later no because that industry is very it's very corrupt too like you could buy a driver's license the the ministry of her um the ministry of road and I can't talk that a lot I need to stop you don't buy it live you can't see that you are live I will say my favorite this is gonna sound very wild but I love bribery in the Bahamas oh all right now I now I know you're lying about the story you're just that bad of a driver even the money payoff couldn't pass remind not like big great great politician the island is 21 by seven miles long we don't have no trump niggas man relax it's like it's like little things like give them a license speed them up on the line let me like let me get let me get this earlier but that's my favorite thing in the Bahamas is like you know if you have a few hundred dollars no dilemma is unsolvable like I realized this last this last time I was home right that's the problem with capitalism though like this is a new mind you focus on your big countries and leave my tiny island alone all right you let me enjoy something that's my favorite thing when I get home listen every day in America I'm a cute eagerware of the fact that I'm an immigrant it impacts my every day oh when I go home and I have free reign oh when I was last on right so when we was growing up you see you don't lie for it it used to take months to get your boss months months and it's so slow it still is the thing like you have to go in or whatever apply this it take a while so when I went last the last I think the last couple times I was home one of those trips I had to go to the embassy to get my new visa and stuff and they tell you to get your new visa you're your passport I stopped 10 years on it or something not expect that I'm like oh fuck my passport was way less than that or whatever I'm not gonna be able to get this or whatever but I'm like oh shit oh and then immediately one of my family members just told me who I could pay who I could pay $300 to get it done and that was like and I was like oh I was like oh I got money isn't it better though if it's just like properly funded and it works properly for everybody money run the road I ain't gonna lie to you like allow me please like you can say all the tigs I like you will get like like there's definitely cases too like where like police officers or cops of us is like all behavior police officers love bribes nobody like bribes

treat me good like I remember one time he was pulled over on the beach down all the way out east right all the way out east like plaster on the eastern road right like just coming past Montague we was parked there and my friends was hotbox in the car right and so what happened my friend was in the front seat of the car pissed me off he keeps saying bunch of bunch of slick comments to magazine like as in the states and I had an American boyfriend he had an attitude he feels I'm taking away so anyway he keeps shaking shots listen this is like four in the morning we smoke and weed is illegal in the bombers and weed is also terrible in the bombers this is another thing that's a side comment yeah so terrible like rad is not even sufficient the weed is a bit more I pray for my land um but I had the front seat and he pissed me off I started cursing about when you love oh yeah you see lights coming please come to the beach all my friends triple d they ain't sweating go to jail as soon as they come they come to the one I'm like oh hello officer oh no I just come here because he know he in my face and then let me go and my boys in the back was like oh that's crazy I done did no I was going jail he's like that was that's in my movie like oh you know I corrupt with everyday people like it ain't like I don't know somebody no Bahamian police will get into a a long-term transaction bribery deal when she was the drop of a dime like oh you use the children I caught fooling around in the park pay me some money you but give me what you want I'm not friends can't bribe but if I had to bribe the police women's like 50 and fake in other countries like that's I don't I don't trust cops in other countries so Canadian police I understand like I don't trust anybody but like I understand them I don't I you know I don't care if it's Iceland I don't care where it is like I'm not I'm not driving on the roads I'll take a bus but yes I'm sorry we keep we keep this is going to be Bahamian hour if you let's talk about Clarence Thomas and the uh the greed that came out the fraud this corn as I said I took today off like I saw so someone else has to intro this I saw of this story but I don't know enough of it to really uh okay it's a really like multi-faceted story too it's a hard one to just talk about on the fly but basically I did a video on it today I can oh go ahead Mike yep I I know that he's uh been uh flying around the world on big expensive trips on big expensive private planes uh living the high life on his uh 250 some odd K public servant salary but the way he's paying for it is he's not paying for it uh it's all courtesy of a billionaire Republican yeah so right after uh Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court you know uh Harlan Crow uh GOP mega donor donor uh real estate magnet basically became friends with them and they got really close over two decades um he took Clarence Thomas on his super yacht let him stay at his uh resorts his ranch in Texas took him on all these trips to Indonesia around the world and these trips like individually if Thomas and Ginny paid for it themselves it'd be like some of them upwards of $500,000 but this happened for decades and none of them were disclosed not a single one of them were disclosed now the thing about the Supreme Court Justices is that you know their code of conduct says that they should avoid the appearance of impropriety should makes it pretty optional but they do have to disclose these gifts that they get like members of Congress they can't take a gift worth more than $50 and if somebody wants to sponsor a trip for them they have to get that approved by an ethics commission but for Supreme Court Justices those same rules don't necessarily apply but Thomas was so brazen that he didn't even uh let anyone know that this was happening like you're supposed to like fill out these financial disclosures saying hey I got this gift got this gift and on top of that with these meetings and stuff so Harlan would let him meet with other rich people that have barbecues together there's actually a photograph online of Clarence Thomas with like a bunch of like rich dudes who are all super walthy but we don't really have to worry about this because Harlan Crowe claims that um he's not trying to influence Clarence Thomas politically so nothing to see here so that's the crux of the story that's the TLDR version of the story oh yeah yeah that's the picture right there my boy is a fly in the milk oh my god I will say that the uh the artist behind this is amazing I thought it was a photo when I first saw it it's not it's a painting apparently it's a painting apparently yeah someone's not been painted this yeah oh I didn't know this was uh a painting it says right there a painting yeah very well done I mean when you get when you got billionaires doing this they get they pay for the the most I mean obviously they were sitting there while the guy painted it I mean this obviously is a portrayal of what happened but it's it's a painting yeah yeah there's also other conflicts of interest to kind of point out so from related to this oh yeah oh great yeah I didn't even notice that the garden is hand khakis and sandals it's hell yeah yeah so so Harlan Crowe Clarence Thomas's sugar daddy also donated to the tea party organization that Ginny Thomas worked for sorry hi well I'm Clarence Thomas's sugar daddy yeah thank you I had to contain myself I mean I could look at look at how happy he is I mean who would think that his decisions were influenced here by all of this look at him he is just an IG influencer you all you need to do is just put his ass on the sink and like sugar daddy galore like look at him that is giving it's giving like sugar baby on the like on vacation like he's not in the picture himself it's just him oh my god I'm sorry sorry yeah it's just the the level of shamelessness here with this corruption is fucking insane it is genuinely insane like the story itself is very very long like I barely scratched the surface like they detail specific trips that they took all the times that he went up in his private jet uh went on the super yacht I've never heard of a super yacht I knew that there were yachts for rich people but apparently there's a super yacht which is like a giant hotel on water that Clarence Thomas and Ginny stayed stayed at it is it is incomprehensible at the same time like it's it's not surprising at all like I don't think anyone is surprised by the story because this is just like I think that AOC put it best in a tweet talking about this where she said that this is kind of like what the roberts court is like the decline of democracy the rollback of civil rights and just rampant corruption that is so in your face that they don't even care man look at this shit I hate this this is this is setting me back this is setting civil rights box like this right here this image right here man this is a micro question what happened to your boy on the side like oh man I hate this look at you yeah so I did see that AOC said that if no one else introduces articles of impeachment then she will um but is that gonna go anywhere with the current makeup of congress I I don't yeah that's the thing I mean Dick Durbin who's the chair of the senate judiciary committee says that they're going to act because this is so brazen like yes it has to at least pretend like he's gonna do something but I mean at the end of the day does anyone expect impeachment to come of this or even like a minimal amount of accountability of course nothing's going to happen that's why they do it because they know that they can get away with like that's why it's as brazen as it is because I mean we're all gonna like go tisk tisk like wag our fingers at Clarence Thomas but nothing's gonna happen like that's why this happens and it's not just like Clarence Thomas like this is a microcosm of a bigger issue with government but like there's a level of shamelessness that really I think is the is the subtext here where it's like he just for decades didn't give a flying fuck didn't disclose any of this yep so he so his failure to report the flights appears to violate a federal disclosure law passed after Watergate according to experts by accepting the trips Thomas has broken long-standing norms for judges conduct ethics experts and for current or retired federal judges set yeah yeah I'm welcome to America folks I mean again the most shocking part about this isn't that it even happened and I think that's what's particularly messed up here we're not shocked that this occurred we're kind of like okay yeah this is exactly confirmation of what we thought was going on we're just kind of messed up over how much audacity he had to just do this for so many years that's what's upsetting we're just like yeah we kind of knew this was going on we just didn't have proof of it but wow it was really bad like this is sad yeah and what's especially stunning is that like our corruption laws and like ethics standards are already so low so like when somebody actually breaks campaign finance law potentially like Donald Trump or violates the minimal amount of ethics requirements that are for Supreme Court justices like there's already so little so if you can't even abide by those lax rules then like what do you even what do you even say to that I mean all you had to do was tell everyone hey this dude has taken me on his his super yacht and he did it again actually every year we go for nine days to his ranch in Texas that's all that you have to do you just disclose it and sure people will criticize you but like what the fuck are they gonna do it but he couldn't even disclose it like this is this is corruption in America like it's they just they don't give a shit at all that company was baloney going on for sure something and like this this is tactical because like I see this a lot in the bomb is too like we're we don't put on seat belts when we're in cars in the bomb is because like we don't feel as though there's any consequence but we do as soon as we go to Miami because there's like this respect for this rule of law like this idea that you will be held accountable and I'm seeing like this like just decadence coming like this decline of rule of law being seen on a regular basis and the danger of that is that it corrodes this belief in systems I mean you shouldn't believe it but now you're getting this different like this disenfranchisement on an individual level when they're saying okay um my my elected officials are being blatantly and like just scummy unctuous like they're embezzling funds they're paying off um porn stars they're you know doing all of these things press ex presidents are going to jail all of these things are happening with impunity so I mean like why should I like even believe in the checks and balances like you before I when I came to the states the thing that we always talked about is just like oh like checks and balances like the states are so efficient and like things are just done so above board and behind like over the books and the Bahamas is just like we don't like to like there's so many as as alami was saying like there's so many bribe system there's so many different transactions that happen that are not above board and really it's not it wasn't happening in the states it's just like now it's become so cotidian so bright like bold and brazen that you can't even say that like and that's why it's so silly when like americans like criticize banana republics talking about their free and fair elections when you all see what happened and no genre six over here like I mean like ain't none of the shop we have free and fair elections with very great political participation incredibly high voter turnout behemians vote behemians like we have like like 80 or 90 90 is it compulsory we're in the 90 no no no not compulsory and it's that high in the 90 percent behemians do not behemians do not play behemians take off political party maybe it'll be an evidence like like a blood oath like griffin norvers this is another rendition what up they voted and that's a big like rally season behemian political rallies is like a thing like behemian's goals are rallies like it's a big be politically is there like a day off to vote or like a couple days of voting or just is it the same as the us where it's like one working day to vote one working day like no it's time to vote is it like a day off of work or I think we just I think that we just like kind of have like a tacit agreement that we're going to take off the boat like like even if we're in like even if you're in on the on the clock at that time like servants will do it I know I got mine somewhere I am I am I don't know what it's got I'm never I've never got to vote I've never got to vote in my life because I've never been in Obama Bahamas to vote and I live in the same gamble but my mommy made me get a voters card because you see what I say about behemians so let me find it so I can show it to you all but you know but but that's that's this thing like um and that's a pernicious nature of seeing stories like this because what ends up happening is that on an individual level you get the systemic malaise and just distrust in the system to the point where it facilitates not only riotous action which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you have the right one behind it not January 6th but more BLM more protests that actually are advocating for progressive change but instead you get a different type of response which is just apathy political apathy just just like this general like uh like almost like a nihilist um doomerism that you have where it's like oh well you know there's people that can there's people that can't I am one of the people that can't I'm just gonna go back to work um be stuck in traffic all day breathe in the smog go to my soul crushing job I really wanted to go to film school and become the next Spielberg but instead now I'm doing making someone else dreams come true get off at five I'm so tired that I can't even think about the political systems that um govern me and then I crawl in bed eat some ramen noodles and do it over the next day it's all designed to like be extremely um extremely soul crushing I would want to look at numbers of like smaller nations and and their voting um and and how much they vote because I feel like you would have more agency or you would feel like you have more of an impact in a smaller country with a smaller population than somewhere in like the US where you feel like oh you're one of 300 million people is it going to make a difference my vote meanwhile if you're like one of a million people it's going to feel like that vote is going to carry a little more weight but that's the funny thing is I think what it is is I think it's less about weight and it's about knowing like closeness and knowing people and I think that I think and I'll show you how I think it impacts us positively in terms of voter turnout but negatively in terms of activism all right because in terms of voter turnout the Hamion's know who we know who run in our country we literally know them we know who the politicians are running we know their families we know them it's very tangible to us it's very real like we see the prime minister and then we go to school with like our last prime minister son was in my class and he's like we know we know these people um so that's local yeah so that makes us turn out to vote right they're like my I only from an asshole but just the capital where all our parliament and everything is from is 21 by seven miles long we know the people so that makes me turn up a voters but when it comes to to activism there's a thing in like in America or in big countries it's so big there will always be even if you end the minority there will always be a bunch of people there will be some but the internet world you could create some kind of community online you could you could create you could insulate you could have different kinds of hubs America's a huge place you could live in New York City versus Ohio or the Mississippi wherever it is you can have that guy not in the Bahamas you like the people who will have a problem the people who are the trolls cursing you out on online are the people you about to see you go to school you know them you they about to talk to you like that in real life you about to like you know them for real you can be ostracized for real like it it becomes so it makes it hopeless because you are quite literally it's like oh you're you're the you're the one voice you know what I mean you're the one voice there's only a couple of that it ain't nobody trying to head out and they will shout you down so that makes people really you know um apathetic to act like that was one of the things you first said when we first ever started talking or yeah when you were like I was like you were like I don't know how the humans like her so much considering what she what our politics is I don't know how you manage that listen I could I could love bomb aligning but like I mean there's not many she's the most visible Bahamian leftist like like verbatim like I mean like there's there's really no other contest about it and people in the Bahamas know about it now you see my audience is extremely North American like my like my people in my community like I'm I'm preaching to the choir like they are used to my takes they're used to the leftism I'm not saying anything too revolutionary to them when my videos get into the ether over here what a lineman saying is so true I if I was not a big black man with a beard that does MMA I would be in tangible danger on a regular basis for literally just saying that trans women or women gay people don't deserve fire and brimstone and you deserve not to die inside your hospitals like cattle I would literally get pilloried hung from my knees in the square as a paradigm of which should not happen I will be a deterrent they will say these people should not exist because they are advocating for a basic human right so the fact that the fact that aligning is out here where they're literally um do does the Bahamas not count as North America I thought I was like immigrant all the time we have nothing to do with America we are in the Caribbean and we used to bend when we didn't have independence which we do it was by the British we have no really no relation to America yeah the Bahamas I cannot stress it that the Bahamas is not not picking on you but the Bahamas is not um a in a US territory we're not yeah no and it's not one island it's 700 the Bahamas is a collection of 700 islands and keys but we're from the capital Nassau which is 21 by seven miles long foreign no no so like that's why like what a lot like when aligning goes on twitter and in a very very clockable Bahamian accent says something extremely progressive that is a mind-fuck to me because I'm just like hold on and like you see Bahamians inside the comments I'm just like your average Bahamian will not agree with this like I'm telling you right now transphobia misogyny misogyny war sexism ableism all of the isms that's a standard opinion in the Bahamas it's mainstream and that's the reason why like like when Fox News Tucker Carlson said that they being censored no fuck off no that is literally like the bricks in the house that we live in like it is mainstream it is as familiar as air so like when a limey is a limey publicly visibly I'm just like this girl is scared and then and then like that's the reason why like me being home is like so important to me um it's funny because people here know me from TikTok where I just basically tell stories I tell very funny lewd Bahamian over-the-top stories and like just not extremely political but at the same time I'm not saying things that are marginalizing anybody so it's comedy without the bad parts it's storytelling which Bahamian is a crazy storyteller like we hold it as some of the best storytellers and like it's culture that's allowing me to tap in with my culture in a way that allows me to do what I'm doing here and anytime like when I get like a little bit of spillover from my TikTok audience which is extremely Bahamian extremely Caribbean like they come into the comments and the first thing they say what is this woke shit what what is this dribble like when they get to my video about um generating is a luxury or like talking about Caribbean homophobia they're just like bro I love you I love when you talk about stories just be funny don't don't do this whole political shit just just shut up and dribble the ball basically you know like it's just like stop dabbling in politics and it's hilarious how segregated these two parts are and I feel it's trepidation and in some cases like to be honest like I feel like I fail in the sugar because I am not brave enough to divest in these systems as I am very much a pillar in those systems as you can see like and this is like another reason why like as much criticism maya for us on I also appreciate who he is in the sense that he's also a traditionally masculine figure except for the nails but like he's a traditionally masculine figure I present the same way in many ways I look like the type to spit the bigotry just do all these other things because I am but at the same time now I'm recovering from that and being able to gain access into these systems I feel like I'm almost in disguise I'm a Trojan horse so when I get into these barbershops and I encounter the type of things that they won't say around someone that is openly and visibly progressive nails the the the stereotype of progressive they say things that they wouldn't normally say and then they feel safe to conf like confide in you and then when I do like my small interaction my local politics of like okay so you saying that you love women but like you saying that what okay what do you love about women but I love how you know they clean and they cook and you know I love how beautifully I say so you love slaves that's what you want you want to slave and then like when when you try to say and then interact with the things rather than saying misogyny rather than using these academic jargons but just like engaging with what they're saying and they just saying well wait what are you like what are you like what are you trying to say and then they clock you and then once they brand you as okay you're one of them you must like mine you're advocating for people's rights yeah it's it's like it dismisses the rest of the argument so I teeter this weird line where like I'm like a double operative but a limey and this is why like I always succeed the Florida because a limey she doesn't compromise with that for god like she her twitter her IG all of it is the same you get the same a limey and like she hits it all the time and she's a black woman not only in New York I mean as diverse in New York is but with a Bahamian audience and also like an American audience North American audience and I could only imagine what your DMs look like I know what your mentions look like I could see that but I imagine like you probably have to go through the regular massage in a while but also like the one that cuts the deepest is the massage in a while from home like yeah this enfranchisement and the statelessness that she got to feel you know I will say so me you know me and my daddy talk about that a lot um I've always been a stateless person in some respect and I and I would always be the case because um you know I'm Bahamian my daddy's Nigerian my mom is Bahamian and I have a very Bahamian family and I'm born and raised in the Bahamas have never been to Nigeria but Bahamians will never see it authentically before and now like less exclude public figure don't Bahamians will never see you as a true Bahamian you yet names what's your name why your parents name you that what is that what is that what is African I am I mean what that's all Bahamians are Bahamians are like very very very xenophobic so it was always like that we're went up and then I went to America where now I'm immediately in every I'm always a different thing a different of some kind of some perception that is in mind so I've always known what it is to constantly be stateless and occupying like another person's space and having um to be to be aware of that perception and I think that that that plays to to my advantage in in some respects now because I yeah because I have always I know I'm I know I'm not that and I know I know how you know what certain things are perceived right like I would especially with with Bahamians love me I know Bahamians I know Bahamians really well my Grammys very Bahamian and growing up there are only a few Bahamians that ever get to be on like an American or international stage um or a large stage of any kind because we're small people we're a small nation um and what Bahamians never could stand the one thing Bahamians do not ask much of Bahamians that are on a larger stage the only thing they ask is you clean the Bahamas they don't be perceived as watering down be in Bahamian Bahamians you just clean the minute a spotlight on you you better clean the Bahamas immediately that is the one sin that's the cardinal sin so for me it was like um in some ways despite the fact that I everything about what I say and what my viewpoint on my platform is so the antithesis of what is a traditional Bahamian view Bahamians have embraced me more in this role as a public figure than they ever would as a Bahamian that was home love you mama sa-da-da bless this is the next thing or whatever no they love you differently now because they appreciate that you somewhere else as a Bahamian because now you become a Bahamian through the eyes of these people these other these Americans these foreigners see you as Bahamian you know but not that Bahamians would in their truest you know truest of forms um so so yeah that's that's kind of yeah yeah and like you have people like Sydney Poitier we have like a lot of notable Bahamians the Black National Anthem of the of the states is written by a Bahamian um you like Sydney Poitier is like one of the most prominent Black actors actors in general but Black actors ever like literally the the like seminal Black actor and at the same time like one thing that we've always criticized to Sydney for is that he didn't do enough it's just like we need the Bahamian representation because as far as we understand for the most part like to the outside world we're just seeing as a tourism sport we're just seeing as a place to vacation to but not much about the like the culture of Bahamas but not Bahamians that's a beautiful way to put it I saw someone ask about um if there's gay marriage in the Bahamas absolutely not like since you both um are like you have very large platforms and whatnot do you get like this criticism that you've been indoctrinated by like woke American institutions and stuff since you got educated here because that's why we can't like that's the trope here in the United States where it's like like for me personally it's like oh you went to college and all of a sudden you're an atheist and you're you know you're no longer conservative evangelical so like is that same perception like consistent over there where it's like oh see they just got brainwashed by American vocism and values uh once upon a time ago and then I transcended the idea that I was indoctrinated and became the indoctrinator you know what I mean like now you know like now that's what they're talking about now you're the person responsible um but but you know you know my daddy said that somebody said to him the other day about oldies like oh you know your daughter is is is a liberal with all this and my daddy said well what the fuck else would she be he was like he's like well what what what what else would she be like reasonably um yeah I think I think yeah there were times for sure right like I feel like especially like in college when I first started um you know learning these things or developing that my school of thought that might found like some of my family or people would be like oh this American this and blah blah blah blah blah the next thing they would tell you oh it's a phase you're gonna you know what I mean you're gonna have a yeah um certain certain yeah they would there'd be a little bit of that um but now you know the thing about the Bahamas is you you you get forged in how to deal with Behemians respect you know what I mean and what a culture and a society whatever respects and you have to be brash you have to be very unapologetic and not really allow yourself to be somebody who be questioned in that way like you know what I mean like I don't present myself I don't move in a very it would Behemians in a very you could take me on and that kind of way because Behemians don't respect that the moment they you know that kind like for example the other day mostly I mostly get love purely love from Behemians online love and the other day when I made the video uh talking about um talking about uh like she was like the trans issues uh some Behemian you did you see that Behemian that quote he did that quote tweeted I haven't seen it but like I know it's all bad because that discourse someone basically said that they're trying to teach transgenderism in schools and then there's been this campaign right now where we're taking our foray into trans discourse it's awesome. Come on look I said something and something I mean what do you say he know no I he said something about me say oh this gal trying to gas like people are something or he clicked like on an American saying something distinct about me and I saw it and I said listen I want to handle the American in a particular kind of way like whatever because I went over to him and I was like when I next come on the island I go bust your ass in your head like I say you want this fucking Twitter let these Americans bring you up on breaks like you make these Americans I go run down on you when I see you same tweets like it's right next to each other like you can see like the difference in tone the different donation and like the dialect and the like the aggression was it the same thing and like it's crazy you gotta you gotta remind them like you gotta remind hey hey hey this how we dealing with them I I could be on that island that's what my citizenship is please don't get carried away you know I get carried away you know my head ain't no fucking good I be trying to keep it cute these Americans I was on y'all watch watch watch so and the fact is like and that's so we have to present confidence and like it's very it zaps out the humanity a lot of the times like so when I engage with people I like to employ like the Socratic method anytime like when I'm engaging with bigotry I don't I'm not gonna just I'm not gonna feed you and I'm gonna use the inception I'm just gonna say okay so so what is what is a woman to you like it's okay so so wait wait wait they're teaching the kids they're teaching the kids to be trans but you're saying they're wearing G strings where where have you seen that and what school has you have you seen like a person dressing in in a G string and whatnot it's a man okay like so you just ask these questions and you lead them to it and after a while late they just tell it to you and a crazy part is just the commitment to this idea of like basically Tucker Carlson conservative talking points and I'm just like why are you invested in this like this is Fox news this doesn't have any benefit to you but like you uphold and you just deep-throat in the boot and the boot stock is crazy but like the socialism is so powerful and it's educated now and on and on and the thing about it is if you go up in a black majority country and so you're being educated by these textbooks these things that are written by your colonizers and this and next thing but it feels it's only black people teaching everything there's only black people around there's only black people and about what it's you can see so you could never process that it's uh like anti-blackness or something like I I think about this now as an adult we have this textbook called making it a Bahamas and they would teach us history out of in school oh for and you already know this fucking colonize this book like I still I get flashbacks of processing it right like like because you don't realize it then as a kid but I remember they they wrote like the Bahamas the Bahamas gotta end in the book man the history book is like what you learning in the class to answer the question this way in the history books that we gotta wear that we are lazy people we are notoriously we're so we are historically lazy people and we gotta independent because they just give it to us because they didn't give me what I did that's that's what in the book they teach you in or something I don't want to get down with slavery so they write me a book you're historically lazy people are they right how you're soiling no good thing off of them slashing and burning up the place like so it's only all these different things um that you it's hard to it's hard to unpack and the society doesn't really allow for the space to unpack that right because what your choice to remember is this the Bahamas is one of the most expensive places to live in the world the Bahamas like the sixth most expensive all cost to live in is that of New York rivals or higher I think higher than the cost of living in New York but and our dollars equal but the average the minimum wage is like five dollars 25 so think about that you know like so most Bahamians are struggling and somebody you know living like check the check ain't even sufficient you know what I mean to really to really take that into consideration so where do you have the space the space the resources to anything to be out here trying to identify and unpack colonialism and anti-blackness and all these things on your own and when you and the you stress out and here comes some y'all talking about you um you only know that that's that's that's anti-black meanwhile you're looking around you like everybody black for this bitch talking about you know what I mean what is he talking about so you know there's there's a lot of that to have to have to um you know overcome and so there's a lot of the same way you know people talk a lot is interesting I feel like as a commentator as a public figure whatever that everybody always talks about making yourself like palatable or message to white people they always are they always talking about that but they don't think of black people as their own different groups that you also have to figure out how to navigate and message and market too as well and there's certain things like with the but the Bahamian people with Caribbean people you have to you have to show your effectiveness otherwise and otherwise the things that make a Bahamian Bahamian like the thing that allows me gives me the grace and space to curse people out online is my Bahamian audience like might have a my Bahamian audience find me in love and really truly agree because the Bahamian there's a there's a Bahamianness culturally in person people out I'm not even joking like I can show you our prime ministers telling people about the video it's a thing we're being Bahamians will cast you out it's not I am not special in that regard like that's very big and we love that so so I remember like there was a time when you know I first started getting like my following got bigger and that's when people have a lower scrutiny you know they scrutinize and you hire and you know here comes the Americans starting to try to be like who you shouldn't roam people and then the minute my Bahamian audience topped in this Saturday there was no long any space there was no space it's not even safe in the comments for an American to come say something because all the Bahamians are the comments loving their life like yes we love this and so that gives you you know you and because they can appreciate the Bahamianness so you want that level and communicating with them authentically in that space and being a Bahamian they have a little bit more grace fall out out of progressive shit you'll be talking about like you know what guys like I think she's a smart gal you know I like you know what you're talking about they you know they'll be like oh my god something like I have Bahamian friends will be like you know I know plenty but what happened in it with Eric Adams like they listen they'll be like oh I didn't know right this was pretty dry you know I didn't know that so you know you have to you have to learn how to how to do it yeah but now there's a behavior in the comments somebody said yes but yeah I know I saw them yeah I'm so I'm actually teaming with fear because I don't know you don't know you said your boyfriend um is from the Bahamas but they can capitalize this tea in the Bahamas and I gotta help you I gotta help you I gotta help you gas lock that tea so you know you love him yeah it's the Bahamas with a capital T y'all so if y'all in community with Bahamians and y'all like say Bahamas without the honestly like that's blasphemous it's our thing but yeah we're sorry we made y'all conversation very Bahamian we should uh I think it's fascinating interesting episode no yeah it's nice when I could shut up it's nice when I could shut up I agree plenty an episode where Ole is sat here and gone I have no fucking idea what's going on so it is about time we have an over thank you Blair thank you for saying that for me because we would never acknowledge that I sit here quiet too and I'm like I understand so I'm happy good episode y'all thank you are we still gonna cancel un-cancel or or I think we're moving to featuring any kind of other creators that we like oh I want to plug myself I was ready to cancel I was ready to cancel I was ready to cancel the Bahamas now I'm the Bahamian Avenger I am the Bahamian's only escort this was a private conversation amongst family that's why we can tell y'all I am still a Bahamian supremacist I am a Bahamian supremacist I have a Bahamian flag on my balcony oh no thank you waving in the wind what you mean big big Bahamian flag why I don't play with my Bahamalan pop you should do a line because you use the channel use the channel of the month of the year maybe like yeah yeah once let me let me show you I let me send a link your video today was so good but it made me outraged like it pissed me off I did not know all of this bullshit about Dave Portnoy I kind of like 10 minutes worth of shit about it I'm not lying I had no idea I gotta check that out it's very good when she told me about him I was just like who the hell is Port Port Portamore? Oh yeah which was my foreign was my was my um my my um my my ghost guru on on this episode right me listening and taking youtube notes right and so we had a whole back and forth because I had him like approving the thumbnail and stuff and originally I had Portnoy on it and and Port is like who the fuck is that a lot of people don't know who that is don't have nobody you would put people that people know I was like I swear to God for it I was like foreign this is the and this is one of the leaders of white bro misogyny culture he's like babe you say that's true but I don't know I'm telling you for and I've been surrounded by the white people I was like you know what I just gonna listen to you and think about this thumbnail because this one he's like please just put the white girl and the black girl I mean it's begging for it like I said I need to be in the thumbnail you know I put the link in in the in the leftist mafia if someone want to put it in the in our in the youtube chat I'll share it online too yeah so I'm plugging my thank you I'm glad you liked it Mike you saw I gave it over him I gave it over you gave us for a heme um you also I love the the way that you break it down because you were like yeah sports they don't know about you know a women's basketball I don't know about fucking women's basketball so I'm like okay since she's on that level I'll get it because I don't know shit about sports I don't follow it and so yeah like I saw the gifs of like the girl doing the little gesture that people were freaking out about but I didn't know the context for it but yeah after watching that like I hate white people it's so in suffering and like I didn't really know about Dave Portnoy either the only reason why I know about him is because I he made headlines after Roe v Wade was overturned because he was like the Republican who was against it and so that's all that I know but to go through like all of those fucked up things about him and how he had the like the way you explain how he had the audacity to comment like I don't want to spoil the video but it's it's so fucking good just watch it I really um someone texted me today one of my friends texted me and he was like yo did you 30 seconds why you're 30 seconds the first 30 seconds that I've been going to go so hard and I was like but it actually had to this form would have jumped me like y'all know what I was saying that first 30 seconds was in high form was like I didn't tell you the whole bit that first 30 seconds gotta be gripping you could do what you want to do after that but that first 30 seconds I was like for it I could make that I could make that 30 seconds I could send that to you separately she understood the assignment that's all I can say because they should they should have knocked like thank you thank you I really did put my back into it yeah good good stuff good stuff I will check that out yeah and it's so important because like I was saying earlier like the left the bread tube is gonna like Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson itself to death and you see yes a lot of a lot of these leftist figures even Hassan them um people whom I will not name because they're just that incendiary uh but like a lot of these folks on these platforms they just regurgitate the same points on the same people and I mean Jordan Peterson is a content firm let's not be real that money is comically on he's a log out he's a log out but like I like the part of the matter is just like we are developing a taste we call ourselves cornbread to it a lot of the time like um if talk about folks like me talk about folks like um fd signifier talk about folks like andruism um shan spear if you want to talk about the black femmes and women that are out here that've been killing it that probably started this commentary ship like t noir cadizia umbo um and of course like Lindsay Ellis who probably is like one of the people that founded the video as their space um that just happens to have left this politics we are creating and fostering a taste and an appetite for things that like our community doesn't even know that they have an appetite for they've been force fed Ben Shapiro Peterson all these things so much that I just did a video about how like traffic in the Bahamas like this infrastructural racism that is baked in and structural violence that is baked in to just the very fabric of how like we drive in the Bahamas and how the traffic is used to beat you down and to have you subservient to the oppression that is a very esoteric Bahamian topic that did numbers is is it like what is over 80k and it's a collaboration I don't know like if you know like not just bikes pick up not just bikes um but he's like a transportation um youtuber from Amsterdam and he talks about just like walkable cities um great stuff and it's so beautiful to see something that is so niche like talking about Bahamian traffic do numbers that are very akin to when I talk about Ben um like Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson just pearly things and stuff like that I don't want to talk about that shit all the time like and I don't think that the community I think the community is tired like I think like the people that are watching us they don't they're tired they're tired of hearing about Trump they're tired of hearing about the same this and that there's so much more going around the world and a lot of these discussions are very just monopolized by like North American perspectives so when a limey came on and I was just like Lord thank you Jesus I say must be there gotta be a god and not god must be a black woman because like she just giving me everything I want like I say because listen like a limey just made a video about something that I'm not gonna see I don't I don't know if I made anything on this I don't know if I don't force you say anything about this shit and if he does it's gonna be us let's be real so like the matter is like a limey in herself in just a small amount of time is talking about things Eric Adams and what not talking about things that you don't hear left us talk about and an expansive dialogue and reaches people that would not watch a Shapiro video so we're talking about like the black audience and like how we're not making messages for them because we ain't talking about you did you see what Shapiro tweeted no they don't know that's me every week that's me the whole first 10 weeks in a row every week who is that who is that person who are they and that goes back to like what you were saying earlier about like this like do are we seen as just like these arbiters of american leftism and like I have like purposefully tried to engage as much as I can with my culture and that's like been very helpful for tiktok because behemians news alert like they're not on youtube like a lot of the black audience too like the black audiences on youtube to be honest they're not we're not watching we're on tiktok we're on facebook we're on instagram we're not on youtube so that's the reason why our audiences are very overwhelmingly white but the fact the matter is like I have been purposefully trying to get into the culture so that I'm not thinking in the lens of american leftism I'm thinking to saintly overture I'm thinking for no one who is from martinique y'all is always attributing like to a black american but that man is a Caribbean man thinking like you see like there's thought leaders and there's processes outside of it and like I find that like at least my calling inside this whole space is to be as not american as possible like to keep the accent to make it dirtier even to make you have to like listen to me at 0.5 x speed yeah understand what I'm saying I'm the same with alimony like she's talking about shit but like you're not confined on fucking force assumption yeah I like I like I try to give a little bahamian influences uh to my show a little kong shell things that like behamians get immediately anytime behamians watch it they text me like oh I'm really bad also I didn't find my voters card but I found my grammy's old voters card so I'll show y'all that's where we go name on there my grammy my grammy is not no longer with us but y'all see how they look boy okay yeah it says yeah it says this card is issued to the person named her and it should be produced when voting at an election this card is of no value to any other person and the found should be handed in at a police station a government officer returns to the parliamentary commissioner the card is property of the government of the bombers and should be surrendered but no longer valid and yeah to have you yeah yeah address your signature your picture your polling division and all uh you know so that's what they look like y'all got a little behamian y'all this is y'all someone said if they thought I was doing a chat I'm zoxan I come in to find you what's your name okay yeah we have to let y'all people go to bed we know David is very great David is this is the way boss David just one last plug plug plug your channel yeah that's my big block all right orange channel is amazing I particularly love his his um sophistication in this new glonding pin video big fans I love that I love the beginning of that sophistication video like show them the intro to the sophistication video I love it I love it so much play the intro it's so fire it's the third video yeah we're in hunt another one to hold you accountable we in a sassy man apocalypse y'all what do y'all want from this because he was cursed so much I couldn't even like take it off like I'm tired of the sassy man era can y'all go back to building houses because to somebody this is serious I love calling men sassy their response to be even more sassy like girl chill might be give me them woman them in mind them I have a question for you is it gay I I can't watch myself okay sir but yes I love foreign in droves I wanted y'all to see that so that's why I love this sophistication video it's my fave so wanted y'all to know this is my this is my plug my friend them oh my and I got a plug foreign too so I watched your video I think it was the one about you're reacting to the thing we were all reacting to about Annika's variance tweet and there was a moment that was so unintentionally hilarious because you're like okay I tried to change it so I'm not like in the center so I could de-center myself but then you flipped this so there were three of you on the screen and it was so fucking unintentionally hilarious I was having basically a trans panel I was in the center and I was just like the problem with the I literally said I was with the problem with these the bases that cis people center themselves and my chat which is a very volatile chat is it's a hostile working fun they're just literally like foreign you're literally in the center I'm like fuck okay let me change it so I'm switching it out I'm switching it out on my deck and I make like five of me like like Russian and like everybody's just talking about it someone in my chat says there's two white trans people on here you couldn't find one black trans woman really foreign like misogyno war for and I'm just like all of your I'm about to go just like straight Hassan and just be violent with my chat like it's like yeah I got a few days tomorrow where I go live and I I basically do like make music like you got my keyboard down here I'm gonna talk a lot of shit I'm probably gonna talk about a limey's video on Trump because you know like that's that's canon I'm gonna talk about this Tennessee shit because I didn't even know about that but I'm just about to regurgitate the things that you all said because you all said some good things and I don't have to come up with anything unique here because I think you all did it for me so thank you I'm cheating off of the work I'm gonna change the language just a little bit and um and yeah like I mean this is this is amazing like I mean between leftist mafia the surf stem there's like so much good content and propaganda agiprop going out there the agenda is in full effect I love it like it's it's so affirming to see just different representations of approaches to progressively moving this shit forward like it's it's it's humbling I love it yeah awesome thank you for coming on this is uh this is a great great
