What did you see this week that you found positively brilliant? What did you see this week that you thought? What a fucking idiot. Yo, you know what I think is positively brilliant? Talk to me. You might disagree with me on this. Talk to me. Canceling the NBA season. Why? I think it's a really rare time in history where there's absolutely no distractions. So we are all solely focused on this one event, this one protest, this one fight for rights and adding anything else into the mix, especially something we care so much about, like sports and specifically sport we care so much about. I think you will create a little bit of a distraction and you'll create a reason for why people maybe should stay home and watch the game instead of, you know, going out to a march or like seeing what's going on in the march, et cetera. It just creates another news flow. And yeah, I think that if I was the NBA players, I would say the only way we're starting the season is if these demands are met, because I think you have a specific time in history where billionaires get to move in and get to change it once you fuck with their money. And there is a billionaire that owns every single NBA team. And that means you have, what is it, 32 or something like that, NBA team. There's 32 billionaires out there that will move politicians in whatever way they want to get that season started. So do not start the season without getting something out of it. 35 NBA teams. So get something out of it. You got leverage. You got these billionaires begging you to play basketball. You better get something out of that more than just donating money. That's not a bad take. Smart, very well thought out. I didn't even look at it from that angle. My take on the situation is, I don't think the NBA would be a distraction at all. In fact, I think that the NBA would help highlight what's going on out there in the streets even more. And we talk about history and we say, this is a particular moment in history and we got a chance to make real change. The civil rights movement was a particular moment in history. And guess what they were doing during the civil rights movement? Playing motherfucking sports. We act like athlete activism hasn't been a thing forever. We act like protests through sports hasn't been a thing forever. Some of the greatest statements in social justice history have happened via sports, whether it was John Carlos and Tommy Smith during the Olympics when they stood up and put the black fist up, whether it was what Jim Brown was doing, using his leverage as a celebrity to push change, whether it was Muhammad Ali, whether it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, like we all remember that historic picture where it was Jim Brown and Ali and Kareem and all of them together. I forgot what they were doing in that picture, but it was something sending around social justice if I'm not mistaken. Are you talking about the diner pick? No, it wasn't a diner pick. I forgot. What about, you know, because there's the diner pick that Sam Cook, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X. No, no, no. This is all athletes. Okay. It's all athletes. I think we have that picture in here. It's Kareem, Bill Russell, Jim Brown. I think they're all in support of Ali if I'm not mistaken. I don't remember. I don't remember. Of course, the most recent protest through sports, Colin Kaepernick. And we think about even with the Eric Garner situation, not Eric Garner, George Floyd situation, what was one of the main memes that was going around? LeBron James and the I Can't Breathe t-shirt that was based off Eric Garner. The think that we can't do both in a country is wild to me. I think that's a really good point. I think it's hard to find any hole in the point. The question I guess I would have is, does doing both pull any attention away? And you could be right. Maybe it doesn't pull any attention away at all. We all have jobs and watch sports and watching sports doesn't really take away from the job. And I think we forget that the NBA is a job. No, 100%. That's those players' jobs. 100%. You got to get back to work. I guess what I would say is this is like, all right, if you want to get back to work, you want to do it good, do it. But you have the owners by the balls right now. So you might as well get something out of it. If you're holding something by the balls, get something out of it. To do what? You have to ask for a specific goal. I would ask for a specific thing that you want. It doesn't even have to be the thing that's going to cure everything. It could just be a specific thing that you want lobbied, right? And then make sure that that comes through. I mean, that's what I would do is, you got a little opportunity right here. You know you have it. When you go play, it's not like you're getting paid more money to play. Yeah, they're going to give $500 million or something like that to social justice reform. But like people have been throwing money at the problem that is civil rights for years. Like every year, there's more millions of dollars thrown and nothing really seems to change. So maybe it's not money. Give it up, baby. I take it because at the end of the day, you know, you can't change what's in a person's heart. So the only way to really dismantle systemic racism is by acquiring power and by creating your own systems and your own institutions and you need money to do that. So then that 500 million maybe shouldn't go to these charities. Like maybe they should. Well, that's the other thing that's tricky. Like and I got to look into it more. But like someone told me like the and please correct me because I only just read a little bit about it. But like someone told me Minnesota Freedom Fund only spent $200,000 bailing people out of the 34 million that they raised. Do you see that? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. But I mean, I'm not I'm not mad at that only because if they have if they have a fund, then that means that they have employees. You know what I mean? Now they're able to hire more employees. That means that they're able to do more events. That means that they're able to do more things in their community. Like the more money these these grassroots organizations have, the more they can do in our community. So I'm not mad at it. I just don't know what they want an NBA owner to do. Like the only thing an NBA owner could do is what lobby for move politicians. Yeah, whoever you feel is going to put those policies in place, that legislation in place that's going to change things. Force them to put place legislation and then it is true. It does say that, right? So force them to change the legislation and then force them to you have to have a specific goal. I mean, one of the tricky things about movements that don't have one specific leader is that the goals seem to be lost on the movement like different parts of the movement want different things. And then once people see the the movement gaining steam, other people that are part of the movement start going, all right, well, if y'all getting this, I want this. So like even this week, I think we saw like the black trans lives matter to pop up. And while yes, they do matter. And I think black trans lives fits under black lives. Right. But the fact that you're protesting police brutality and black trans people, as far as I'm concerned, are not being murdered by police. They're just being murdered by civilians. So so that issue seems to distract. I think it was I think it was one that got killed by police. I mean, I don't know. I know it. It definitely was at least one that got killed by police. Right. And I'm not saying that that issue isn't valid. And I'm saying that isn't very important. But it does seem to me that like if if clear goals and clear like accomplishments aren't stated, then it's very easy for like people to ask for a bunch of different things. And when everybody's asking for their own thing, nothing's going to get done. Does that make sense? Yeah, I get it. So I mean, I think I think everybody just wants everybody just wants the police to stop killing unarmed black and brown people that we can agree on. But what I also think everybody wants and I get it is they want their stories to have as much light as the next story. Like it's very hard to walk into a store and you got a product and you see your product not getting no shelf space, babe. Hey, bro. Like that's just it's a thing like you want more you want shelf space. So if George Floyd is killed, you want George Floyd, you want Mr. Brooks from Atlanta, you want him to get as much credit. You want the black trans lives that are getting murdered to get as much attention like you wanted all to get equal attention. But but I don't think that's a people thing. That's more of a media thing. The media got when they got shelf space, when it's one story that's ticking and moving. That's what they go with. That's that's just that's just that's just the way it is. But that's what social media is for right. Social media is so you can uplift and empower those other voices. Yeah. Even with Breonna Taylor, I think we spoke about this last week. It's not that people don't care about Breonna Taylor story. Yeah, Breonna Taylor story didn't have a video with bro. We were saying last week how like people should animate it. And this dude made this like great, like image by image version of what happened. You saw that and it made it super digestible and like very easy to understand and like, I don't I don't want that tune trauma. Say again, I want that cartoon trauma. Say, oh, why not? No, is what it was just pictures. Oh, yeah, it's not Disney or anything. It's just like the slideshow of what happened. But it makes it very digestible. So instead of just saying this person's name, and then her story gets into like falls into the fold of all the black people got killed by police, you give a specific storyline to it. And you're like, Oh, shit, this is this is crazy. What happened here? There's no justice at all for this. There's not you can't dispute this at all. I get it. I get it. You know, I get it. But you know, to the to the NBA's point, I just I just don't see a I don't see how them playing with the scrapped anything. You're really doing the point that Taylor's passionate about this. Because like, there is a band. Let Twitter think for her. She know it's not it's not talking about her own. No, I mean, at the end of the day, I just I told you before, then putting on shirts saying don't breathe or kneeling and then going back to the game is not solving the issue. I can't breathe. Not don't breathe. I can't. You being on this podcast right now is a solving the issue. Me being on this podcast is a solving the issue. Andrew being on this podcast. So why are you comparing the basketball to what we're doing as like that's two different types of work? Why is it we get we get like 300,000 listens a week? Are we distracting 300,000 people? But we're talking about what's going on, though, the NBA, they're not talking about what's going on. Two different things. No, that's a lie. They can they can easily protest through sports. They can wear the t-shirt. Yeah, but then they go back to playing, though. They can talk about it and they can talk about it in their post game. And I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you why this is such a half ass argument. These are the same people saying they want Colin Kaepernick to be back in the league. I was watching I was watching first take today, and it was like Colin is getting a workout with the chargers. So you mean to tell me that one of the biggest symbols of social justice, Colin Kaepernick, it's not a distraction for him to be playing again? No, it is. I'm not I'm not I'm not arguing. You got to give it up. No, you're right. No, I'm not saying that. So you don't want Captain to get a job. I didn't say that either. I'm just saying what shows is saying, though, you have to demand some type of power. That's what I'm saying. You just wearing them just wearing a shirt is not demanding really a power. You're just saying how y'all feel about it. That's what I'm saying. Why can't why can't they do both though? We act like LeBron LeBron James has always done both. So why can't LeBron actually play and still in the afternoon or the nighttime or daytime or whatever time you guys be using his organizations to push change? No, he can he gets do that too. But I just think that he has the most power where he could like not play until he wants something really happy. Like I just feel like he has more of a power like just giving maybe maybe there's an argument here, Taylor, where it's like, you know how like in the NFL, a player will like sit out his contract until his contract demands are met. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's what I mean. That's not saying there has to be a goal. Maybe there's a goal there. But I also understand Charlotte's point, which is they also have a platform and maybe they can use that platform to educate more people. Now, some people might go, Hey, we're educated, bro. Like this is all we've been focusing on for the last few months. We're not it's not like anybody's going to learn that George Floyd was killed when they start watching a Lakers game. Yeah. Like we're aware of it. I guess what I would say is like, if you do play, there has to be some sort of benefit for the cause. And it can't be what we're making money. And then our community is going to get that money. Because let's let's be honest, Hill. Most NBA players black NBA players most do not live in black neighborhoods, right? They invest they invest in sure they invest in it, but they're not. They invest in but they're also buying homes and tons of white neighborhoods around the world. And they're doing it and they're allowed to do that because they want to make money and they want to increase the amount of revenue they have and change their family's life. And that's totally respectable. But what often happens is the money gets removed from the neighborhood just like Indians do it just like Asians do it just like anybody who gets wealthy. Yeah. But you got guys like LeBron James and Jalen Rose building schools, right? 100%. Chiquillo Neil got a 26 story apartment complex in Newark. Like, yeah, like, I know, I know some guys who just bought a big ass like 100 plus unit building in the hood of Chicago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, Luau Danx with my dude David Gross and all those guys. But it's just like, that's the type of things that are that they do with their money. So I get what you're saying. They're not living in the neighborhood, but they do invest in the community in a real, real, real way. And here's the other thing too. All right, NBA players don't play. So now are they going to be full time activists? Because essentially, that's what I'm thinking when I hear Kyrie Irving say, look, we're not going to play. Does that mean Kyrie, you're going to be at every protest? Does that mean that you're going to be I don't like what are you going to do? You I would like Dwight Howard, are you going to be a full time activist now? Like? Oh, where are you going? Oh, your food. Yeah, I think I think that Kyrie, it's very hard to trust his intentions because throughout his career, his moves have always been very self serving. You know, like I it's hard for me to believe that if Kyrie had the chance to win a championship, he would say no, we shouldn't come back and play. Yeah. And he knows he has no chances here. So he's like, well, fuck it, we might as well sit out and help this cause as important. But like everything Kyrie's done in his career has been for Kyrie and nobody else. I was thinking about that. The next might actually have a chance though. But not because he's not coming back. Okay, he's not coming back. He said he's not playing this season. And Kyrie can barely play 20 straight games anyway. I think LeBron is like, yo, I think we got this this year. Let's go for it. Like what the fuck are we waiting for? I think they just want to get back to work like the rest of us. I want to we've been working. I know, but I want to be I want to be in the Breakfast Club Studio. I want to be with you doing the podcast. I'm not I want to get I want to get back to work. I'm not gonna lie. I want to get back to doing what I love to do, even though I still do it every day. So I can imagine them not doing it at all. Like I just don't understand. I really don't understand the distraction logic as if athletes have never, you know, protested through sports before. Like they've they've used those platforms to get that messaging out. Like that that that logic of it makes zero since the distraction. How you know what it is, Charlotte? Someone needs to just go and it's a really tough thing to do. But someone just needs to go, yo, this is what we want. And you're going to piss people off when you do it. But someone just at a certain point time needs to go. This is what we want. This is the goal. And I think they're going to be. Oh, tell me what it is. What is the exact goal? I think the goal is is try to get some police reform pushed in past that actually holds police officers accountable, not just accountable from a criminal standpoint. But you know that this disqualifying that qualified immunity thing holds them responsible from what you was talking about last week with the simple standpoint. So now you as a police officer are held personally responsible, financially, for some shit. I think you need both, right? Because I think a person will if they know they not going to lose no money, they'll risk a trial in this police loving society. You know what I'm saying? They'll risk that. But you got to have both. It's either print pension or prison. Pick your poison. So maybe so maybe that's it. Maybe it's the qualify is called qualified immunity. Qualified immunity. But but the Democrats have that and they're just as in policing act. They wanted a they wanted disqualified. They wanted disqualified. They want to disqualify qualified immunity. So then let's end. That's in the that's in the legislation. They're trying to get passed. So then that's it. Boom. That's a perfect thing. That's a number one on the list. We want to get rid of this. What is it called qualified immunity? Because that makes it possible for, you know, police to be prosecuted for their crimes. Because the reality of the matter is motherfuckers are not going to stop making mistakes on a job. Not even mistakes. They're not going to blatantly stop fucking people up. This past couple of weeks showed that son. I mean, you like getting caught. You ever cheated on your girl? And like so you try to be no for that. Like like a month. No. We don't we black men don't cheat. Let's talk about shows has never been a cheater. But I'm just saying because I always get black. But those for those who have cheated, you know, when you get caught and you got down that period where you just trying to be extra good. Yes. That's when you don't cheat. So you got to be a real dirt, dig last motherfucker to still be doing shit during that probationary period. It's unbelievable, bro. It's unbelievable that there are black people still getting killed this week. You think this week, the police will at least tell each other like, yo, just let them go. Like black people get to not get tickets this week and just let them go this week. It don't matter. At least try, bro, Jesus Christ. Like why? I'm looking at what happened to dude in Atlanta. Mr. Brooks. I can't remember his first name. Ray Shard Brooks. Ray Shard Brooks. Yeah. And I'm like, bro, just let him win the foot race. Signed by God damn. Let him win the fucking if you can't chase him down. Let him win the foot race. He told you he lives right up the street. His car is right there. Go there. All you gotta do is run the license plate number. That's it. Get his address. You go pick him up later. You got to shoot him in the fucking back for what? Yeah, dawg. It's really, it's weird, bro. You really think they'd be on best behavior? You think this would be the week, bro? It's like, you know, you get a speeding ticket and then after that you drive 65 or you drive whatever the speed is. You know, you're like, fuck, or especially if you get like, no, they are just right back to speeding, bro. You fucking overdose. I'm never doing heroin again. I'm never doing heroin again. As soon as you get out. You know what that tells you? It's got a fucking addiction. Yeah, it's addicted to that power that comes from being a cop. And if you if you disrespect that power, they will lay you to fuck out. That's really what it is. They do not like the fact that you had the audacity to challenge them, whether it's running away, whether it's saying suck my dick, whether it's not complying when they ask you to do stuff. I really think it's just an abuse of power. Can you tell a cop to suck your dick? Taylor, pull up the video from them guys in Harlem. Taylor, pull up the video from that dude. It was so disrespectful. It was so disrespectful. Keeps to say it. I know where you're going. Suck my dick is such a trigger for me. That shit was so crazy. I like, yo, he was wilding. What did he say? He just told him to suck his dick. Pull it up, Taylor. I can pull it up and we can actually hear it. Oh no, it doesn't have to. Oh, because I got the computer. I got the computer. It was a white people. You're talking about right? No, they couldn't have been white. All I heard was the audio because Ashley was playing audio on the radio. There was no way they was white. That was great. Cameron dipset error. Now, what is what is the law? Like, can you tell a police officer to suck on your dick? I'm sure you can. You can. That's illegal. I want to know what I'm allowed to say. Can you say like, have a good day, suck my dick? I'm sure you can. I've seen too many people curse out police officers. Can you say this? Can you bake? Officer, do you know if I could park here, suck my dick? I'll try to see if I could throw it in to just regular police interactions right there. Oh, this street is closed. Do you know how I could get to Broom Street, suck my dick? Bro, it was bad. You got it, Taylor? So, you cannot tell me at my age 36 that I could have been telling police officers suck my dick legally? You're a white man and you've never cursed out a cop? Bro, no. It's like cursing out your cousin. Why would I curse them out, dude? Why would I curse them out for? They just want to keep me safe at any point in time. Oh my God. Hold on. Dude, suck my dick. So, you can really say anything to a cop. As long as you're not. You got it? It's just audio? As long as you're not threatening. This is, let me see. Is this it? Let me hear it. No, I'll tell it to you. This one is it. I don't know. The one where they say, suck my dick. So, here's the thing. This is important. This is important distinction, Charlotte. So, Alex just said, you cannot threaten them. Okay? So, you can't say, suck my dick or else, but you can say, you may suck my dick. You can allow that. You can allow it like somebody wants like a bite of, you know, your pie. Is that it? They did it. It was a protest and they were like, suck my dick. No, no, no. This might have been, this clearly had to be on Worldstar. Go look on Worldstar. Because remember, Angela, you played it the other day on Breakfast Club. I don't remember exactly what it was, but the moral of the story is, yo, cops don't give a flying fuck. Can you ask a cop? Can you say to a cop like, yo, eat my pussy? Huh? Exactly. I told a cop shut the fuck up. Because you don't got a pussy. So, they technically can't do the thing that you're asking them to do. Seriously, why is it so disrespectful to tell somebody to suck your dick? Suck your dick is so disrespectful that people with no dick say it. Yo, you know how? No. This is how disrespectful suck my dick is, right? If your girl is about to suck your dick and you go, yo, suck my dick. She's like, man, get the fuck out of here. She's right about to suck your dick. Who the fuck you talking to? Who the fuck you talking to tell me to suck your dick? I've never understood it. I've never understood why somebody giving you pleasure in something that is pleasurable would be disrespectful. Yeah, it's just a odd thing, especially if there's something they want to do. They're about to do it. Give me, because it's going to get in that thing. Let me see. Oh, that's him. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck you talking about. Like I said, suck my dick. Fuck it. I don't like that. Yo, y'all police. Yo, I'm really static. Yo, I got family. I got 50 friends right now. You say I forget it, but you do it. Why are you doing that? That's a good one. That was a lot of suck my dicks. That's a good one. That's not even the one I was talking about. The one I was talking about, it was searching his car. It was searching a car in Harlem. Oh, no, that was a little different. But I will say this. Suck my dick has diminishing power. Like the first suck my dick really stings. Do you know what I mean? Suck my dick is kind of basic though. Yeah, it's basic, but think about it. The first time someone says it to you, you're like, yo, what the fuck? Around like the fourth or fifth or sixth time. You're like, pull your fucking pants down. Let me show you what the fuck my mouth is. I'm sick of this shit. You're really not about this life. You're not about this shit. Let me see. Son, what if... Bro, what if he says suck my dick and the cop just took a knee, bro? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm telling you, one day one of you suck a dick, mother fuckers. It's gonna get what you're asking for. I'm serious. One day you suck a dick, people. It's gonna get what you're asking for. Real talk. You talk about NBA players demanding what they want. Y'all have a very specific ass. Y'all keep saying that shit to people and watch what the fuck happens, man. You might get your dick sucked. You might get your dick sucked by someone you don't want to suck by. A cop is definitely... You really want a cop to suck your dick? Come on, dawg. He just rolls that shit into a donut. Bro, bro. That'll be the worst thing for you. A cop suck your dick and then look you in the eyes and say... Black lives, dude. Yo, son! Yo, son! Yo, son! You're wild, bro. You're wild, bro. Yo! The visual... Have you cleaned it off your face? Have you cleaned it off your face, Mitchell? You didn't have to suck it sloppy, bro. You didn't have to... You didn't have to use all this saliva everywhere. Hey, but by the way, if a cop ever did do that... Yeah. You would disrespect this shit out that cop. What do you mean? You would be fucking... You would be nothing in his face. There's a lot of porn like that, though. You'd be slapping your dick around his fucking mouth. Yo, son! I got this cop sucking my dick, son. Charlotte. Hold on. Then later on, you'll see the cop be like... That's that punk-ass cop who sucked my dick! Son, son. Why the cop got to be a dude? It could have been a girl cop! It could have been... That's nothing. That's nothing. That's nothing. What the fuck cares about that? Oh, God. Come on now. Oh, fuck. That wouldn't be an entertaining story. What? Jesus Christ. Now, listen, you know who else? I'm gonna tell you who's what a fucking idiot. Who's an idiot? And what's the other young lady's name? Tanaya Saleh. And... Oh, what's her name? It's the Middle East in Europe influencer. Oh. Oh, Tanaya Saleh and Suhila Lakab. They both, in support of Black Lives Matter, decided to put on blackface. So they put the blackface on. One of them put an afro on. The other one put brown on one. They put brown paint on one side. She put we're all black on the inside. She said we're all black on the inside? We're all black on the inside. No, what did she say? Oh, let me read this stupid shit. I wish I was black. Oh, one of them, the one that put the afro on said I wish I was black because my idols in music and dance are black. All the athletes I respect are black, right? The other young lady said just because we're black on the outside doesn't mean we're black on the inside. Racist people are the true black hearted ones. They are black on the inside and they know it. Two woke, bro. Two woke. Two fucking woke. Sometimes when you two woke, you don't think straight because sleep deprivation is a real fucking thing, man. Facts, bro. You got to get them naps, bro. All you woke people, get them naps, man. Take the nap. I think you could tell how many black friends people have by the way they protest. And the crazier the protest, the fewer black friends they know. There's no way that those two girls have a single black friend in their entire phone. Because no black friend would be like, nah, that's a good thing to do. Name one black person that would see them with their half of their face painted black and go, nah, you really shown support. That's what we needed. Yeah, we would absolutely be like, yo, knock it the fuck off. And why wouldn't you run that by some of your black friends? Because they don't have any black friends. They don't have no black friends. I'm telling you, bro, you could really people who don't have any black friends, they might come from a good place. They don't want to seem racist. But they truly don't know how to show black people they're not racist. So they go over the top with it. They're trying to be like too woke and they end up doing this goofy ass shit. They might know black people, but they're not friends with them. Yeah, they know some black people, but not well enough to like ask them if they should paint their face black or not. Or like wearing afro. Another positively brilliant, I mean, first of all, the Lord's Fire Con has been positively brilliant for over 60 plus years. But there was a social experiment that happened this week that I found so interesting. Which was? Chelsea Handler posted an old video of the Honorable Minister Lord's Fire Con when he was on Donahue. Right. And it's him breaking down, you know, white privilege to an audience. You know, and it's when Fire Con was saying, I really don't think you fully understand what we look at as second class, our inferior citizens in this nation. And he was breaking down how black people were brought to this country and scripted their name and their language and their culture and their religion and their God and all of that. And Chelsea posted it with the caption, I learned a lot from watching this powerful video. Jamila Jamil reposted it with the caption. Y'all know Jamila Jamil, right? Yes, she's like the body shaming thing. Yeah, Jamila posted the same video and put, someone please tell me the name of this extraordinary man who so perfectly sums up white fear in under a minute, right? Right. Then like Jennifer Aniston liked it and Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean Hayes, right? All of these white people, today the Daily Beast runs an article, Hollywood celebs are praising an anti-Semitic hate monger, right? And they said, do your homework. So all of these people except for Chelsea Handler so far have pulled down their Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan post, right? Because you know the media wants to pay Minister Farrakhan his anti-Semitic and homophobic and misogynistic, all of these different things, right? What I found interesting is that the truth can never be denied. When somebody says something honest and truthful, right? You don't have no context to it? Like you don't have no context about the person saying nothing, you're just listening to the words that are coming out of their mouth. It resonates with you. And it resonates with you so much that you want to share it. So what does it say when you find out that the media may feel a certain way about this person so they start changing the narrative of this person to you? Does it change the truth that they spoke? Should they have taken those videos down? Regardless of how they felt about who the messenger was? I should the truth have been spoken regardless. Because they always say God uses the people that you would least suspect, right? To deliver certain messages. So if that message touched you, should it impact you any less because of who it came from? I think the message shouldn't, but we do understand that messengers are important. And I think that Chelsea Handler is Jewish, right? Yes. I think that Chelsea Handler since she's Jewish can be way more comfortable reposting the honorable Minister Farrakhan because if he said some things that people deem anti-Semitic, she could be like well look, I'm Jewish and I'm posting this. What are you going to say? I'm anti-Semitic? Whereas Jennifer Aniston, these other people who might not be Jewish have to live in fear that they could be labeled as an anti-Semitic because they're supporting this guy who has said things that are anti-Semitic or people interpret as anti-Semitic. And you're right and I get it, but my thing is this doesn't matter if what he said in that moment that you agree with is true. So now you're going down to really now you're going down to really tough situation where it's like people could go this is what people say to you, they go this is what you're saying. If this racist guy from the KKK said some things that were similar to what Jesus said in the Bible, is that cool that that message is true? I think y'all have listened to me long enough to know that I can I understand nuance. Right, right. And I'm starting to believe that you can learn something from anything. Right. But are you willing to listen? Because think about it, if I'm walking down the road and the KKK member says hey, don't go down there they're going to shoot you. Am I going to ignore him because he's a KKK member? That's a good point. If you're walking down the road and Honorable Louis says look for the next half a mile it's nothing but landmines. Are you going to not listen to him? Alright, here's the thing. Reposting it and liking it seems like a cosign of the person. We had this discussion on flagrant but it's very difficult for us to separate the art from the artists but we can separate the science from the scientists. You know what I mean? Probably because we don't know no scientists except for Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill and I. DeGrasse. DeGrasse. DeGrasse, bro. So I guess what I'm trying to say is like if a fucking scientist told you some shit that's true and they were really fucked up person they did some foul stuff, you know? Neil deGrasse Tyson you're not going to listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson because you got me too? I wouldn't listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson anyway, bro. That's not his name, what the fuck is his name? It is Neil deGrasse but deGrasse is funny because that's where Drake got shot. Oh, okay. You're confusing dorky black guys. Well listen, you're not going to listen to him because he got me too? Exactly, right? You're not going to listen to what he has to say about science because he got me too? Exactly. So it's like maybe this thing that the minister said within itself that message resonates with you regardless of who said it. It could be the minister, it could be your mom it could be some chick named Natalie it could be anybody, right? And what you're saying is it don't matter who said it as long as it resonates with you and I guess what I'm saying is people think that if you like a page then you... Jamila Hill is a perfect example. If you like any mean... Jamila Hill. Jamila Hill has just got taken off all the syrup bottles. Aren't Jamila... Aren't Jamila is no longer on the syrup. Jamila Hill is like if you like any mean page that has ever had something slightly racist on that mean page she will find that out and she will like expose you even if you're like a fifth round draft pick, right? So there's a version of Jamila Hill that does the exact same thing for people who like, you know, pages that might have anti-Semitic rhetoric or homophobic rhetoric or cetera on it. So that same gotcha journalism exists on both sides when the reality is maybe that mean page had a funny meme that wasn't racist and maybe a message by Minister Farrakhan was absolutely beautiful despite the other things he said that might be questionable by some people. Yeah, I think that I got to put people under the what a fucking idiot if you don't understand nuance. Because to me this was such a great social experiment because it showed if you don't have no context to a person, right? Somebody is polarizing as the Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan. He's polarizing to a lot of people. Yeah. If you don't have any context about this person, Jamila Jamila didn't even know who he was and heard those words coming out of his mouth. That truth resonated with her so much she had to repost it. Chelsea Handler heard that truth. She had to repost it. All these other celebrities heard that truth. They had to repost it. But once they are told by the media what to think about a person. Then forget it. Fuck, that's wack to me. You know what it is? It's like when, when like Trump and Kim Kardashian were working on like getting that black person out of jail, right? It was like wrongfully accused or something. Alicia, Alicia Johnson, I think, right? So it's like there were a lot of people that couldn't look at that specific act and go, this is a good thing because it was attached to this person. They despise so much. You know what I mean? That's stupid. And I know what you're saying is praise the act because the act isn't the person. Praise the message because that message isn't the person. Yes. It don't mean that you co-signed the guy and did it. And even if it is the message coming from said person, that don't mean you should dismiss it. I think that we should all be a little bit, a little bit more intelligent enough to know that I'm not going to agree with everything a person says. But truth is truth regardless of who says it. Yo. Right is right regardless of who's doing it. Malcolm X had a quote. I'm going to find it. Go ahead. Say your thought. You had a thought. Oh yeah. There's a saying it's you ready. People don't have ideas. Ideas have people. So we think that we're the ones that we think we're the ones that are coming up with all these ideas. But the reality is, is these ideas actually have us. These ideas always exist. Ideas are out in the ether. An idea can be said by Mr. Farrakhan. But that same idea can be shared by Malcolm X. It can be shared by Teddy Roosevelt. It can be shared by anybody. That idea exists out there in the ether. And maybe there's something that's special about Minister Farrakhan which allowed him to attach himself to it. Yeah. Right. But the idea exists separately from him. He doesn't own the idea. So liking the idea is not a reflection on liking the person delivering it. But the way we see social media we always assume it is. I'm going to post this tomorrow. I posted this before. But Malcolm X says I'm for truth no matter who tells it. Bang. I'm for justice no matter who it is for or against. Yeah. I'm a human being first and foremost. And as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole. Simple as fucking that. Yeah. Even though I got to put this under the what a fucking idiot. That's what Ben Carson was getting at when he said he wants everybody to stop being sensitive and grow up in response to Trump's speech in Tulsa. Hmm. He said the US needs to stop being offended about every fucking thing. Okay. And that's a fact. He said we've reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try to subscribe some nefarious notion to it. Right. That is very fucking true. When is the last time you saw something and actually just thought that the person met well. When the last time we've seen something on Twitter go viral because people aren't picking it apart. Yeah. You just trusted the messaging. Yes. When when the last time like I'm watching them go crazy on J Cole who has been a hip hop media darling for so long and I'm like am I missing something here. Yeah. I could feel it in the air. There's a little people want to cancel right now. Can you feel it like people are anxious people are angry they're like now we need to we need to flex the muscle a little bit right now. Can we cancel white supremacy. Can we cancel show that's fire. Can we cancel police brutality. Can we talk about being distracted. You're talking about the NBA being a distraction. Fucking J Cole J Cole put out a song last night and everybody's distracted. I didn't even know what was going on. I'm catching all backstory here. You know I saw the tweet from the young lady named no name. No name. Yeah. My niece Nila put me on because Nila was putting me on the no names music a while ago saying no names for something and no name posted a tweet and she said poor black folks all over the country are putting their bodies on the line in protest for our collective safety and y'all favorite top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up niggas hold discographies be about black plight and then no way to be found. J Cole put out a song yesterday called snow on the bluff where he's basically I guess replying to her tweet and J Cole basically said I feel well equipped as a leader in these times but I do a lot of thinking and I appreciate her as a no name and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that's important and I was listening to J Cole's song and listening to what he said about no name and I understand what all the black women are saying saying that you know at a time where black women are being attacked and getting found dead man to be being passive aggressive towards a woman in a sense and I get that I totally understand that right you got to read the room sometime but I also agree with J Cole in the sense that why did people make J Cole have to be a revolutionary I think he who died and made J Cole Tupac I think J Cole leaned into it you know what I mean you don't think so you don't think the music has been woke you don't think the music has had messaging not just his mainstream I'm talking about do you listen to his like but not only do I listen to J Cole's music I listen to J Cole's interviews and I'm on record I've said it before when I listen to J Cole's interviews I've always heard a brother who's still trying to figure it out he's not even able to articulate what he feels sometimes he just knows he feels it that's why I think he's good for a brother like that because when he sits down and he can write those rhymes he can tell you what he thinks he can tell you what he believes but he may not have the answers are the solutions to the problems you know what I mean he can just tell you what he's feeling and what he's experiencing but they exalted J Cole as this leader of a revolution like when the protest broke out they're like where J Cole at where Kendrick at I don't expect them to be there you know what I expect these guys to be in the studio making the soundtrack to the protest I'm waiting for Kendrick to I'd love to hear some Kendrick music but guess what if you don't put out no music I'm not tripping I'm not forcing Andrew to do a set doing a quarantine you know what I'm saying Andrew where your new material at what if Andrew fucking depressed what if Andrew got anxiety what if Andrew going through some shit that is true that is true but like I'll be honest like we did a couple pieces on what's going on you know and we thought it was important to do it and we used the platform that we have and I did everything that I thought that I could do it in my power and using the skill that I have in the platform and access I have to kind of explain these things and we did it you know Alex I got Mark like that's what we're trying to do we're trying to contribute to this movement whatever way we can I think that being said I've never been an activist y'all know that that's not my thing I never claimed to be an activist and maybe some people thought of J Cole as an activist and then not seeing him or again I don't know enough about his music to make an accurate statement but maybe they thought not seeing him as present or something like that was like yo you're always here and loud before but we haven't seen you doing this now maybe they were questioning that again I don't know enough to say but that's I'm asking but he was at a couple protests and I think sometimes man we mistake support for activism right you know if I show up to a protest it doesn't mean that I'm an activist it means that I'm showing support right I'm standing if I'm standing in a fucking car I'm not a if I'm standing in a garage I'm not a car you know I'm saying hey I mean if you see me randomly standing in your garage you should call somebody but I'm just simply saying like just because I show up to a protest doesn't mean I'm an activist I'm just here to support you know what I think guys like J. Cole do you know what it is I think it's like when you create and I hate to talk about comedy and stuff like that like art because I think it's kind of like bougie but like when you create content let's say in the way that you do or I do we reflect on the culture right when I mean the culture I don't just mean like black culture I mean like whatever's happening within culture at the time if it's trump if it's Biden if it's whatever it is so for me to put out a video or a piece that didn't reflect what was going on with George Floyd would be phony for me because I always reflect on what's going on so I feel like of course J. Cole if he puts out music he's going to reflect what's going on right because that's just kind of what he does naturally know like I feel like if you put now party songs right now you're missing a point a little bit little baby drop fire what's the name of that little baby record little baby song so goddamn hard and he rapping about what's going on right now what's the name of that record Taylor oh that's right he just dropped an album right man that's just so hard a little bit it wasn't an album is this a song little baby drop the hard ass record meek male drop a hard ass record with other side of America but guess what that's what those brothers the bigger picture you know what I'm saying so it's just like yo if he was moved to make that fine if Andrew you're moved to make those type of sketches are that commentary fine but you can't force people to do it right just like you can't force people to be at protest and I saw people saying oh J. Cole you know he's not a real leader and this and that I'm like why is he not a real leader is he not a real leader because he admitted he don't read all the time and I saw that tweet that tweet was wild which I thought was hilarious where he was like I read it a little while ago but it's just like because he doesn't read doesn't make him a great leader like I don't think that matters I think great leaders don't set out to be a leader I think they set out to make a difference like it's never about the role it's about the goal you know how has always set out to make a difference yeah yeah I see let me ask you this question like you know how like if your boss treats you like shit at work or whatever the authority figures shit at work you know how sometimes the husband comes home or the wife comes home and then treats the family like shit absolutely and she wants to treat the boss like shit but she can't because they're an authority figure so she ends up treating the people like shit that she can right which are the people closest to them I wonder if that's kind of what's happened right now which is like people are just really furious that the authority figures you know the police are treating oh yeah black people like shit and since you can't act out on the police officers outside of town second dick you're like alright well we gotta take out this anguish on the people closest to us and J. Cole might be one of those people J. Cole said something this morning and one of those tweets he said we all gotta be easy with each other we all gotta be kind to each other something be nice to each other and he he's absolutely right my brother's my sister's everybody's hurting everybody is in pain everybody's tender right now everybody is literally out here trying to do their best I don't think J. Cole had any ill intention when it came to you know replying to no name no name is a rapper right so J. Cole did what he did J. Cole rapped he didn't tweet J. Cole don't be tweeting crazy like that no name salute to her she posted a tweet and she expressed herself and guess what she didn't name no names but it hit dog will holla so yeah J. Cole and J. Cole said himself yeah felt like he wasn't doing enough right no name was absolutely right no name hit one of J. Cole's pain bodies in that moment because J. Cole probably is sitting around hurt vulnerable trying to figure out a solution to things and feel like he wasn't doing enough so he went in the studio and he expressed himself yeah I think that J. Cole was just using that as an entry point to let everybody know I'm not the leader of this movement right I'm not the activist leader that y'all think I am I'm just simply trying to figure it out and I think that's what we get things fucked up is J. Cole a leader of the new school when it comes to rap hell yeah right past decade J. Cole's been a part of that three headed monster with Drake and Kendrick yeah but does that mean he's Tamika Mallory no right that mean he's my son no right I mean he's Linda Sarsour no does that mean he's Philip Agnew no he's not one of those activists that's out there on the front lines he just shows up to protest in support y'all made him that and now when a person doesn't meet your expectation of them disappointed that's the problem with us right now is the people we have an expectation of people that we create in our own mind yeah yeah that's interesting and then they don't meet our expectation that we gave them and then we get disappointed when they're like yo I didn't ask for none of this man I just wanted to make really cool music that had a message in it like I think yeah I think I think you hit the nail in the head there he said I don't read a lot but I think a lot he's a thought leader yeah you listen to J. Cole's music you know he's a thought leader he's able to provide soundtracks for things that are going on yo I think you're right about that man but I really also think it has to do with like just being hurt and having no outlet for the anger and then touching the people that are closest to you right like because that's what we do like when we're in a bad mood I find myself doing this in a bad mood like and it sucks but if I'm in a bad mood and then like a friend of mine does something or like puts a can somewhere where it shouldn't be or whatever I'm like yo you just gonna leave that there I don't give a fuck if they leave a can on the table but I'm lashing out because I got some shit going on in my life you know yeah so I could totally yeah and I look at all the sisters online and the sisters are saying things like you know um J. Cole got the nerve to tell black women to be patient listen I totally get it I totally understand why black women you know don't have patients with us anymore I totally understand but I just think we all need to be patient with each other because whether we realize it or not we're all in this together like men are getting killed like women are getting killed like trans people are getting killed like we're all in this together like we don't have not each other's enemies well it's it's gonna be tough for the person who says it and they're gonna have to find a way more eloquent way to say it than the way I'm gonna say it but like in a situation like this you can't have an all lives matter approach you have to have a specific goal and some people are gonna have to sacrifice like I've been talking to friends I can't say where they work but they work and you know certain industries and they're like how do we affect change within our industry right people who are part of like big corporations and they literally set up these tables they've gone you know what we're gonna make this the prime focus we're gonna make black equality the prime focus and you know what that means that means the cancer kids gotta take second fiddle that means women's rights gotta take second fiddle that means that uh special needs gotta take second fiddle that means we're gonna ignore those other issues because this specific issue and if we're gonna do anything to change it requires all our focus and that's the whole idea between black lives matter versus all lives matter but you can't all lives matter your own movement you see what I'm saying nah I get you I just think it's very weird that you can't walk and chew gum at the same fucking time now you can't no no in this situation you can't if you want to chew the fuck out of that gum and get every bit of flavor out of it and make sure you feel every bit of flavor that that gum has you need to sit there and focus on the flavor you can walk and chew gum and talk on the phone and do all those things but while you're talking on the phone you're gonna forget what flavor the gum is and while you walk in you're gonna forget about the phone call I just I just think that it takes a allied concerted effort between black people white people black men black women men women get the LGBT white people like what is civil rights about man civil rights at the end of the day we talk about how it's about equality right but in its essence civil rights is about sacrifice civil rights is people who have privilege per se I don't even like to call it privilege because it's not a privilege that I don't get killed by the cops that's the bare minimum that I don't get killed by the cops that's what everybody should have bare minimum right that shouldn't be some benefit I get so but the idea of civil rights is people who are getting more have to sacrifice some of what they have for other people to come up and that doesn't just mean white people that also means maybe people within the black movement maybe it's like you know what we want black trans lives we want our we want our support and everything right now too but maybe it's the black trans movement starts to go you know what what's more important right now is black lives matter and we're gonna get to our shit after and black lives matter you better support us when the focus is just on us because we're gonna take this we're gonna take this sacrifice right now to push this to the top this is an interesting conversation I want to keep going on this let's us pay a bill real quick yo man shout out to Squarespace simple as that if you need a website you need to get that domain you need to legitimize your business I don't care everything's on the internet if there's

to have a CPR kit in the fucking restaurant and you need to have a website or else the shit ain't legit let's get back to the show we're having an interesting conversation yeah I want to um yeah I just want to say I want to what you said is absolutely true but that goes back to what I said when I said it has to be an allied concerted effort because yes black people cannot change or dismantle a system that we didn't create so it does take those people that have privilege those white people that are in positions of power yep to give up some of that privilege in power like they just have to like in order to in order to make this world equal we all have to do that white people got to give up that privilege and power for black people and that is the idea of civil rights men gotta give up some our privilege and power to make to share with other women share with women and that's why I don't even like I hate that that term um make space I don't I don't because this is this is all gods right so we're not making space for anybody you know I mean if anything we're just finally being let's be more welcoming let's all be intentional about being welcoming it's make opportunity not space you know I mean it just give opportunity it's like give everybody there you go the idea isn't that the idea the idea of civil rights it's not making space is hey you guys can have your own water fountain over there I made some space for your own water fountain make an opportunity it's like nah we all gonna share the water found you know and if that means you gotta wait a little longer at your water found that's what it means by the way I don't mind having my own water I get what I get yo the analogy was the analogy is on point but I I don't mind having my own water fountain you know it's mad funny do you think like black people saw the way that white people kiss our dogs on the mouth and they were like yo should we get our water fountain back why the fuck would we share a water fountain the fuck the fuck were we thinking bro some of the segregation ain't all bad so I just sent you something Charlotte mean about Umar Johnson he was kind of trying to say that for god this is the first time I kind of in a way I see what he's talking about but he's saying like you know when it comes to protestings of that we can't have a successful protest like black people can't have a successful protest because um if white people get involved because it now shows like a mix or something and take he says something like where it takes away from what our purpose in because like what you guys said earlier it becomes into like a all I haven't listened to what he said but I highly disagree and uh the reason I disagree because if the protest is for black lives matter it doesn't matter who's protesting you know I'm saying if black people are out there on the front lines and white people on the front lines and Asian people but we're protesting for this specific thing it doesn't matter like listen so you're telling me that people with cancer can't protest uh for people with age yeah exactly what are you saying you have to hear the audience buy that hotel by that logic by that logic men can't stand up for women by your logic men can't by that logic men can't stand up for women it's an interesting point of course of course it's an interesting point it just has a lot of holes in it and it's not exactly how you structurally fit this because if the goal is integration and the goal is reform you need the side that is rejecting to be part of it if the goal is revolution and take over and destroy then you don't give a fuck what the side is yeah but the reality of the matter is as a minority in a country you have to get the support of the majority in order to have equal opportunity yeah so I think you want it and and if you notice the big changes that have happened that's when there has been unilateral support for the movement right I think I think you want people to to recognize and I think if there's one thing that we learn from these protests is there are a lot of white people a lot Asian people a lot of brown people who are like yo black lives matter to us bro yes because they don't only just love black culture they love black people if you don't think it matters be the lone white boy in the hood be the lone white boy in the hood who loves hip-hop and loves hip-hop culture and wants to dress and talk and listen to the music and you love black women let's see how that goes for you if you don't got no black support let's see if they give a fuck about you without any black support let's see how that goes yeah that's a great point it goes both ways it goes both ways you need the support of other individuals sometimes in certain circumstances I think this is one of the most crucial turning points in America yo that's a fucking that's a brilliant way of putting it manby is like I remember when I was younger I go hang out buddy of mine he lived out in Brooklyn by Eastern Parkway and I'd be walking black Jamaicans everywhere oh yeah yeah super Jamaican but you're doing around here white boy exactly so and um I remember and I remember I'd be like walking in neighborhood and then you know some people would maybe like ask some questions or whatever and there'd be someone else who's like nah nah nah that's Sadikis boy everything's cool right exactly that's I gotta know you are you might be under a couple cops yo okay you might be a pedophile you might be a mark right you might have your white van around the corner trying to kidnap kids what are you doing 100% but once somebody from the neighborhood was like nah nah he's cool right that's it that's literally all civil rights is right it's just like nah nah they're cool like yo why are you giving them a hard time like yo yo what's going on leave it alone everything's cool by the way that sounds like a joke but it's not because think about it if you are old white politician what what reason would Lyndon B. Johnson have to do this or John F. Kennedy to start the talks of the civil rights acts and the voting rights acts other than other than look these people are cool and they're gonna tear our fucking country up if we don't fucking yeah do the right thing yeah I mean like like you have eventually empathy has to kick in where you gotta say to yourself okay what we're doing is wrong yes wrong like I refuse to believe that at some point human empathy doesn't kick in hmm and somebody in those positions of power says we have to do right hmm by these people or we have to do right by black people we got to do right by women we got to do right by gays eventually there is something you're that George Floyd video everybody's empathy kicked yeah fucking human with a soul and watch that video and not have empathy kick in and eventually be like fuck no we got to stop this shit that shit any human yeah and I think I think what you're seeing is like the outcry of support I think is also a reflection of like integration right like the internet has kind of made the world really small and we've all we've all kind of like started appreciating each other and appreciating each other's culture and you have a lot of white people even through like tiktok dances are really getting to know like fun fun black things that might have never permeated their like super white life you know what I mean say I mean that like I mean like you see these like white girls doing these tiktok dances that might never have entered their sphere 20 years ago they might have I really believed that white people have been stealing they've been stealing our shit break it on are you referencing bring it on she got a point though like that was that whole movie that whole movie was about colonization no no bring it on it's all about colonization bro I'm telling you I'm not questioning whether white people have taken black culture right I think that's not that's not what's up for grabs here I'm thinking like now it's ubiquitous right now it's just like if something is popular there were times where things can be popular in the white world and things can be popular in a black world and now if it is popular it crosses over and you've said this a lot like because black culture is mainstream culture hip hop is pop culture etc and I think because of that because there's so much familiarity when you see that guy with a knee on his back of his neck and then he ends up dying at the hands of a cop and you there's so many young kids right now that grew up with black friends that maybe never grew up with black friends 40 years ago right they're like literally go go go no I was just gonna say they're literally you're literally looking at a generation of white kids who grew up with black people being their heroes in every aspect sure whether it's politics, Barack Obama it's a great point whether it's sports, it's the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant whether it's music it's you know the Drake's and the J. Cole's the whole generation of people where black people are their hero like it no matter what race you are you can point to a black person and that person has inspired you in some way shape our form and this protest is a reflection of that this protest is like yo these lives matter to me they matter to me growing up they matter to me now and maybe it's time that we do something I think a lot of people at these protest do not know what the fuck to do but they know that they want something to be done and show up yo but here's the thing eventually somebody's gonna need to be the tip of the spear and somebody's gonna need to decide where that spear goes and I hope that happens sooner or later before too many people co-op the shit and make it about themselves I think it's happening you have too many grassroots organizations out there right now that have things on the table because it's starting with two things right it started with to me it started a couple years ago I started asking for a black agenda because we're not going to act like police reform criminal justice reform all these things weren't in the black agenda it's not like cops just started killing black people with this last month so all of this stuff has been going on but now it just shows the urgency for it coronavirus showed the urgency for it because of all the underlying conditions in the black community left the black community so vulnerable right police brutality like it just shows the urgency for why you need police reform right now and let's be for real it's a fucking election year the democrats need black people so it shows the urgency of why they need to be out here doing something for black folks and I'm going to tell y'all something else there's no police reform getting passed in no time so this shit is going to be on the table until well after November and depending on who wins in November it's going to be off the table all together all right letting y'all know that right now I don't think for one second that the house democrats are going to get there policing act bill passed anytime soon don't think that Tim Scott is going to get whatever his bills cause I think his bills named after Walter Scott if I'm not mistaken I'm not sure but don't think that his bills getting passed anytime soon there is no major police reform happening anytime soon this shit is going to be a talking point up until November let's be for real democrats had no other win that they had no other win the things that we were trying to get them to lean into was blackness we was trying to get Joe Biden to lean into blackness and black issues that affect the black community now it's everybody's issues so you don't even look like you're a leader you're only like you're a leader on it now it looks like you're just following the trend and you can't even do that right they ask him a simple question like do you want to defund the police he's like nope I don't believe in defund the police in fact we need to give police 300 extra million dollars to reform the police and this and that I'm like yo can y'all word this better for the old man please could you word it better for him god damn can you answer it like senator harris answered it when she bodied it yes you would love to take resources from this place and put them into this place we have to go build up these communities because when you build up these communities it will help decrease crime all together like yes why you can't answer that no better Joe Biden so all I'm simply saying is I don't even know what the fuck I'm saying it's not coming back police reform is it coming back that's where you're going oh yeah police reform it's not it's going to be on the table well after well well after November oh and that's the other point I feel like I don't want everything else black people have been asking for at least you know me meaning like a black woman running me you already committed to putting the black woman on supreme court a real comprehensive black agenda because I feel like you know you can't atone for the sins of America in regards to black people without legislation and reparations I don't want any of that to get lost because now people are focused on this cause because it almost makes Democrats be able to tell black people to go out there and have a sense of urgency when it comes to voting because of just the police reform issue as opposed to all the other issues that we need you know what I'm saying police reform is major don't get me wrong it's a major major major major issue but it allows them to not acknowledge everything else you know what I'm saying that one chip allows them to not have to acknowledge everything else and I want everything acknowledged because even if you're talking about the fund and the police that's what you're talking about doing taking money from them to put back into our communities that's what that whole economic justice plan that's what that whole equity plan that's what all of that is about when it comes to communities so let's keep all of that on the table too god damn it okay let's not lose sight of that I also want to salute I want to salute Amanda Sales positively brilliant even though we're past positively brilliant cause that was kind of like the deep dive I want to say it's positively brilliant that BET decided to have Amanda Sales host the BET awards this year I really wish that it wasn't virtual because I don't think y'all realize how much of a beast Amanda Sales is on stage that you need to go watch a smart funny and black show go watch her host smart funny and black game show she does and you can see how good she is on that stage singing dancing jokes crowd participation she's perfect the hosting event like the BET awards so you know I wish I wish it wasn't virtual and I know she'll get the opportunity to host it on stage in front of people in a real way one day but I am so happy that the BET awards picked her to be the host that shows me that they're paying attention because also if you're doing a virtual awards if the awards are virtual this year she's one of the biggest virtual voices out there you know what I mean so it makes sense it makes sense to have her be the host this year cause she even now she does smart funny and black online she's got one this Friday she's got one this Friday with Dean Hardison

tickets early yeah again TheAndrewShows.com Kansas City improv I believe I'll see you at the end of the month alright alright shit you won't care about next week Dave Chappelle comedy special 846 I wouldn't call it a comedy special at the reason I wouldn't call it a comedy special is because I don't think Dave was trying to be funny right I think that Dave wanted to vent I think that Dave had some things that he wanted to get off his chest he's not a social media user so he's not on Instagram live right he's not a huge interview guy like he'll do interviews but he doesn't do them all the time so he wasn't promoting anything so he wasn't sitting down with anybody to have an interview right he's not a podcast host so he doesn't have a podcast I think that Dave Chappelle wanted to get some shit off his chest and he went to his platform and his platform is that motherfucking stage in his backyard I'm assuming that was in Ohio right I believe so so he was home in his backyard and he gathered some of his people around and he had a nice social distance show and I think he wanted to get some shit off his chest for 27 minutes I didn't that's how I looked at it I wasn't sitting back like oh my god that was brilliant because I know I've seen Dave Chappelle be brilliant but I think that the whole context of what he presented to people I thought that was brilliant you know what I mean because I think it's dope not to run to go do an interview I think it's dope not to run to go do a podcast I think it's dope not to get on Instagram and rant I like the fact that he used his stage I'm a radio personality if I got something I really want to get off my chest I'm on that radio every day if I'm a comedian and I got some shit I want to get off my chest even if it's not jokes even if it's not funny I'm gonna get on that stage because you know why that's what gives it the most impact I don't think a Dave Chappelle interview I don't think a Dave Chappelle appearance on a podcast would have had the same impact as it being packaged as a Dave Chappelle comedy special and I would have I would have called it a Dave Chappelle verbal scream of consciousness word to Kanye West I would have called it a Dave Chappelle that's what I call it a Dave Chappelle verbal scream of consciousness that's what that was to me that's a really interesting way to look at it because in terms of impact because you know millions of people saw it online and maybe they wouldn't have seen it if it was an interview with the breakfast club or if it was an interview with you directly or if it was an interview with Rogan maybe you would have got a lot of views but maybe not 20 million or whatever it did or 14, 15 million etc and we were talking on the phone about this I think it was a few days ago because it's not a special so you can't judge it as a special people going yo it's not funny it wasn't supposed to be funny this is the most prolific comedian of alive today in my opinion he's the greatest comedian alive simple as that if you thought that this was his attempt to be funny you're wrong he knows how to be funny he meant to deliver this that being said I know how prolific Dave Chappelle is how brilliant he is I don't think he even needs to make you laugh he's so fucking smart and so genius in the way that he's synthesized information and crunches into these digestible morsels in a way that you never thought about before he's literally a genius I didn't think that there was anything he said that was that profound in it I'll be honest I didn't think he was offering new perspective like when I watched it I wasn't blown away with the thinking based on a Dave Chappelle expectation to me when I hear Dave Chappelle talk I'm about to hear some of the most brilliant shit I could never thought of because that's how genius he is and then everything he said pretty much maybe outside of the Chris Dorner connection everything he said I think that we've heard a lot of people say and that's okay too he's allowed to share those feelings and we're allowed to be excited by our hero expressing the same feelings we have that's totally fine but when I saw people exalting and going this was the most genius thing I've ever seen are you not seeing Dave Chappelle? because if you've seen Dave Chappelle and you're familiar with his work you don't think that this is close to as profound as other things he said I agree I think there is something to being able how to capture how people feel yep I think that's what artists do with music sometimes sometimes a record comes out in a moment and he's like damn he captured or she captured exactly how I felt Dave the fact that we know Dave is so prolific the fact that we know Dave can craft some of the you know most amazing you know thoughts in the world I think the fact that he was up there so unrefined the fact that he was so emotional the fact that he didn't really have the answers that he didn't have things figured out that if he did seem like it was a state of confusion I think he captured how people felt I think that's how a lot of people feel right now I really do I think it's almost like it makes you feel better when you see somebody who hasn't all figured out not having it figured out it gives you more space to be like yeah I am fucking confused I give you more space to be like yeah I am fucking angry it gives you the license to be that even more I think so it's a great way of looking at it especially with music because sometimes there's a song that don't have the best lyrics yeah it doesn't even have the best beat it doesn't even have the best production but it captures how the fuck you feel yeah and by the way we in an era right now where we're scripting everything down to the basics there is no more there is nothing refined about this moment interesting refined about this moment so to see him up there with his notepad and just just going I'm like yeah Dave I mean honestly I wasn't I was highly entertained I watched it once I'm gonna watch it again but I was when I saw it I was like yeah he captured the way I felt about a lot of things we've had those conversations shit about Don Lemon LeBron over exceeding expectations like those are conversations that we were having I was shocked I was shocked at him coming at Candace Owens only reason I was shocked is because that's a real that's a real moon walks back at the dog moment and I'm not calling Candace a dog at all I'm just saying that there's an analogy that talks about the moon and the dog and it says when the dog walks into the moon it's nothing but when the moon walks back at the dog it's news and so Dave Chappelle first of all Candace Owens is unstoppable unstoppable and the reason I know she's unstoppable is because of the way she responded to what Dave Chappelle said she said to Dave Chappelle you insert the clip the Dave clip Candace said in a tweet to every Democrat tweeting me the clip of Dave Chappelle insulting me I'm not a leftist I have a sense of humor comedians should make fun of people Dave Chappelle is one of the greatest comedians of all time and I made it into one of his specials that's power she's absolutely fucking right and then the next one the follow up was even crazier I don't have that one she said say it to my face she said say that shit to my face though with a laugh with a laugh yeah and I don't know why I wrote about this in my book I don't have any more anxiety playing tricks on me learn from me because I told y'all back in the day when I tweeted that stupid ass tweet when I was like who are the woke women of color that we can empower and make a voice like Tommy when I said that dumb shit stupid dumb of me to say because what I should have said is who are the women and left Tommy out of it who are the women in this space we empower people with our hate we get online and we talk about how much we don't like these people and then the people that like them come on defending these folks and next thing you know you got this perfect storm of just whoever that person is and you think you're hurting them but you're not so when you're somebody like Candace Owens who's like a god damn she's like black, they got the black pantosuit on, boy you hit her she absorbs the energy and she gets stronger and stronger, Dave made her so fucking strong can't stop her bro not only do the only way you can stop a Candace Owens is to ignore her yes but guess what she's too good for you to ignore she knows how to antagonize she knows how to antagonize you she knows how to agitate you she knows what to say to get you going what's that shit what will Ferrell say I don't know what it is but it gets the people going that's she has that thing and guess what she puts it out there and y'all keep giving it back to her and Dave immortalized her and he did he did yeah you would like to see Dave because Dave has the intellect to chop her down so you would like to see him chop her down and then he just went with a kind of easy joke about the pussy stinking yeah I know the thing with Candace is really interesting is because she doesn't have to be worried about being canceled because the side that's canceling her is not the side that pays her she's really got to be worried about being canceled by the people who pay you you know what I mean the side that's trying to cancel her is doing nothing but promoting her marketing her so she's getting more money from the other side yes man and everybody loves a bad guy so it's just like yo people root for the villain so she's embraced that role she's a villain on one side a hero to the other well she plays a really interesting part in the ecosystem because she is a character that's been exalted by the right to remove white people remove any of white people's guilt or responsibility for what's happened to black people in black America yeah absolutely that's her goal and that's her position she might truly believe the things that she says but the people that pay her are using her like a toy so they're like a white people don't want to feel bad about the black play in America so go we're going to give you some facts and you're going to take these facts and you're going to go tell black America and white America that this is the real reason why black people are going through this right and the reason it's so effective is because the white people on the right that don't want to feel guilty go oh phew it's not my fault and then the the white people on the left can't call her out for her privilege because she's of minority status too so the white people have to listen to her or else they're silencing a black woman so the white people on the left got to take her for her word not her identity if I said any of the shit the Candace said they'd be like shut up you're a white male you don't know shit but since she's a black woman they got to sit there patiently and listen and then if these people on the left are not disciplining their arguments she'll eat them to fuck up that's the thing right what you said about Dave Chappelle you know like Dave Chappelle's an intellect you know he's articulate like he can break the Candace Owens thing down in a much more like scientific way when you hit her with the steak pussy thing her audience is like that's the best you got for Candace because even if you don't agree with the things that she's saying which you know like if you don't agree with the things that she's saying you can't deny that she still has something she's some thought behind it she's giving it some thought whether her facts are wrong whether she's dead wrong she's giving some thought to it and she's able to articulate it in an intellectually sounding way Republicans and right wing people will always have more sound arguments because they're arguing in a lot of times against progress okay so they'll always have more sound arguments because the thing they're arguing is harder if you're saying affirmative action shouldn't happen right you better have some good fucking arguments as to why it shouldn't happen I think do you understand what I'm saying it's facts versus feelings sometimes exactly if I'm a black person in America if you're a white privileged person you would never know how I feel if you're a gay person if you're any person that's ever been oppressed, marginalized gay, black I don't care how many facts you as a white privileged man spit at me you can't tell me how the fuck I feel because whether it's statistically or just my everyday life I know what it is I go through but here's the thing what they do is they get someone that looks just like you to tell you how you feel and your feelings are wrong exactly and that's why they got that the black sheriff from Wisconsin or wherever he's from so they'll get some guy that looks like you to tell you you're wrong you don't fuck with the right normal you don't really fuck with the right normal look I don't know where he is and again I'm not saying these people are lying or insincere or inauthentic what I'm saying is the people that promote them have a reason for promoting them does that make sense oh listen I had somebody tell me verbatim I'm not gonna put the executive name out there slide your computer a little bit that way so you're in the middle yeah that's better I don't want to give his name out there but I had somebody tell me that at Fox News they will tell the black personality I'll make you a star if you're willing to go MAGA if you're willing to go MAGA I'll make you a star dude a lot of these people just doing it for profit so 100% 100% because they need the voices to quiet right and the democrats do this too but they don't do it with people of color the democrats do it with kids explain so if there's an issue that's important to democrats they let kids argue it for example the environment is really important to democrats who's the big environmentalist person nope well Greta Thunberg oh right gun rights I know that is Greta Thunberg is that Swedish chick that they sail all around the world and she's super we gotta take care of the environment anti-gun people democrats are very anti-gun who makes all the arguments for anti-gun stuff kids from Parkland the Parkland kids you have kids make your arguments because the philosophy is if you're telling a kid to shut up then you're an asshole so you're not going to look at the kid and tell them to shut up especially if they're the actual victim of the gun violence right now if you're a right wing dude telling a kid to shut up we're like yo what the fuck is wrong with you how rude are you you're a piece of shit so you always want to put the figure out there it's a proxy war right you always want to put the figure out there that can't be argued effectively or shut down effectively by the other side well I wonder let's not check that a little bit I wonder if I don't think that's by design I think that every every bit of change that has ever happened in this country has been led by young people you know what I'm saying and when you have the Parkland shooters who have been through what they've been through they adopt that cause you know like every there's not a movement in America that wasn't led by the youth Martin Luther King wasn't young though like Malcolm X he wasn't a kid he was young as fuck Martin Luther King died at what 39 son that's not Parkland kids are 16 years old not now Parkland kids gotta be in their 20s probably older yeah but they started becoming activists post Parkland when they were still in high school and Martin started young that's what I'm saying let me see how old Martin was he was 39 when he died but he started when like 25 no he was younger than that there's a difference between being 25 years old and being a minor and if you're using minors and please poke holes by the way but if you're using minors the narrative or your agenda you're doing it on purpose you think that there's value in it you think that this messaging can get across way better and way more effectively with younger people because less people will scrutinize them they'll be like oh well here's a well intentioned kid trying to make change in the world instead of if you're 25 years old they're like well your arguments aren't actually that sound and you're actually not making sense yeah he started he said he started around 1955 somebody do the math these movements are started by the youth and I really don't think Democrats be having a choice you know what I'm saying I think that when you're a progressive and you're leaning towards the left especially when they say that they went too far left that's what these kids want these kids want radical fucking change and they don't feel like the moderates Joe Bidens and Amy Klobuchar even the president and obamas are giving it to them you know what's funny is that like the democrat party is this is the party of progress is the party of change is the party of youth but every time I see Democrats they're 100 years old Nancy Pelosi is 200 years old Chuck Schumer is 100 years old Joe Biden is a thousand years old so it's like how are you this how are you the party of progress and change are you really the party of progress and change are you the party that likes to sell the idea of progress and change Justin simply because after president Obama the democratic party was supposed to get younger blacker, browner more diverse when it comes to gender like yes I am highly upset that we didn't get a woman president you know even if it was Hillary Clinton I don't give a fuck I just think that that would have that would have really shown how America was progressing but boy that black president scared the shit don't think for one second that black president didn't scare the shit out of both sides both sides yes hell yes it was like man fuck that who is the oldest candidates we got run them run them run those old horses god damn it Joe get Joe to fuck out of there okay get Joe to fuck out there and get him going we got to get old Joe going we need old and white as the standard bearer in America yeah fuck that alright we can take a break for a second uh Payson Bills Charlotte you got your hair coming in right you see me okay at minus that seven and you're

Simone no okay no alright well why don't we uh why don't we do ask an idiot okay so for ask an idiot this goes to Casper revenge what's the most disgusting thing you've learned about Hollywood the most disgusting thing that you've learned about Hollywood that's interesting Sharla that's a good question I mean honestly I haven't learned anything disgusting unless you want to call the fact that you just have a bunch of culturally clueless people in these executive positions that's pretty disgusting you know what I mean but I don't even give a fuck about that anymore because everybody is taking their destiny in their own hands you know what I mean like I love I'm on record I love what Andrew Schultz does I love with Amanda Sales does I love with Lord Duval does I love you know seeing people make own independent films and movies I love what the read is built with their podcast like there is nothing that you can't create on your motherfucking own and then guess what happens these companies want to do JV means meaning joint ventures okay and you know what there's nothing wrong with doing that joint venture but when you do a joint venture you're an owner now yes you know what I'm saying you got equity in your shit you a boss you know you at the table as a CEO a founder so I don't you know think anything is disgusting about Hollywood other than the fact that they just have a bunch of culturally clueless people in these board rooms I haven't seen all of the stuff that YouTube and Worldstar have been telling me for years I haven't seen no goats get sacrificed I haven't seen anybody eat a baby sandwich okay you know I haven't had seen anybody had to bust their asshole open for a roll you know what I mean I haven't seen any of that those Illuminati ritual I've talked about yeah I think he said it perfectly man nothing I can nothing I can say to top that absolutely okay um this goes for both of you guys too for IZ the king um what is your greatest mistake who that's an interesting one what is your greatest mistake Charlotte what is your greatest mistake career wise life wise I've made so many of I don't know I don't know which one is my greatest I do like that phrasing though I like the phrasing of uh greatest mistakes because I don't like to say what are my worst mistakes I like to say greatest mistakes because I really do feel like mistakes make you greater yeah so I think when you make great mistakes you know um you become a greater person you become a greater individual you know it just teaches you how to bounce back from certain things are you learn from mistakes and it just makes you a better person right welcome I welcome all my mistakes all of them I love I I embrace them actually yeah it's a really it's a really tricky question because like if you accept that good and bad things happen and that they're not necessarily good or bad they just this is just life and that's just what this is what it is um it's what you do about those mistakes and I'm happy where I am so all those mistakes led me to this point right here and I'm happy where I am right here so it's hard for me to go man I wish I didn't do that because if I didn't do that maybe I wouldn't be here you know so it's really tough what there's a difference between uh oh we were talking about this we're breaking this down I remember we were having that conversation it was like it was like a difference between like regret and there's another word that's kind of like regret like remorse yeah regret and remorse where it's like if you're not happy where you are in life you have regrets if you are happy where you are you have like maybe like remorse or like embarrassment you're like ah man that was really embarrassing that I did that but for whatever reason I got here and I'm really happy here so I don't have regrets does that make sense I'm gonna just confuse this whole question no no no no no no absolutely right I don't have I don't have regrets I do have remorse meaning like I have remorse just for being successful because so many people from where I'm from aren't yeah you feel guilty about it yeah so many people that I grew up with so many people that I love you know they they're not yeah it's like for me like I do have that survivors remorse shit I got remorse now um over jazz over jazz fly you know I was listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes I was watching Bishop T.D. Jakes this weekend man and he wasn't even talking about deaf and he had this bar that kind of just put me in a better place play that clip tell I want you to insert this clip perhaps we will not make the journey perhaps we will not go on because the secret of mourning is this whenever people are weeping always remember they think they are weeping for who they lost but in reality they are weeping for themselves there's a part of mourning that is with self pity why could you do this to me why did you take her away from me why did you let this happen to me mourning always is laced with self pity it has a tinge of selfishness and if you want to pull it out by the root you have to recognize a part of our weeping is for ourselves and not for who we lost because in many many cases who we lost is through suffering agony and pain and we wanted them to stay with us even if it hurt them and then they left us he was just saying how when you're mourning over somebody a lot of it is self pity with a tinge of selfishness mmm because you're saying why would that person leave me mmm why would that person I don't know if he said do that to me you're making it about yourself yes but the reality is that person is not in pain anymore you know what I'm saying the reality is that person is in a better place whatever hurt that person was experiencing that person is not feeling that anymore as far as we know as far as we know so yeah so yes you have that remorse like you know especially when something when somebody is dealing with something that's out of their control yeah I think that makes sense I think that makes sense it's like you still feel remorse you still feel still like embarrassment over things but if you're happy where you are it's hard for you to feel regret because you know that those events in a weird way led you here absolutely absolutely rest in peace jazz too her funeral is on her going away service is June 27th that's actually my daughter's born date my oldest daughter's born her home going service is June 27th her mother and her father her sister and her brother last week was rough before the weekend was rough I didn't get any good sleep until Monday night Monday night and last night I slept well Friday I didn't even get up to go to breakfast Friday I was like man fuck this I canceled everything I was supposed to do a one on one interview with somebody Friday I canceled that I was supposed to do Aaron Burnett CNN Friday I canceled that I didn't want to do nothing this weekend I was really really really really out of it and this weekend I feel a little bit better you know like talking to her mom and talking to her dad you know and of course they got their ups and they got their downs but when they feel good it makes me feel a little bit better just what Bishop TD Jake said Sunday it really hit home because you know Jasmine was dealing with something that was totally out of her control yeah and it's nothing you can do about that it's not on you it's not on you like I said last week on the podcast when your brain is your greatest gift and it can also be your greatest curse yeah when that goes out of whack ain't no blowing on it like a Nintendo cartridge and getting it back the way it needs to be nope I ain't got a fact so take care of your brains everybody man maybe that's a good maybe that's a good place to wrap this up invest in your mental goddamn wealth rest in peace jasmine waters yeah that's it man alright bro take us out man yo yo yo yo as always if you listen to this podcast and you think we're smart you think we're intelligent you think we're brilliant you're absolutely right if you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit you're right too it's the brilliant idiots podcast thank you for listening
