minutes. And like, and you said, Well, if it helps even one
person to the amount of email, I mean, I know we got a lot of
people copied us both on it, but I caught it. I got a couple, I
think probably forwarded to you, but it must have been, like
1012 1520 people all with varying versions of it, you
know, like I didn't really understand like, how, what was
going on and I gave me a moment to reflect. And that was and I
tried to explain that why I was able to explain it to Tina. I
said this was something this was like our last episode this was
for men, you know, and we were doing something important for
men and it hit home
if that silent killer man that that you know that harboring
those feelings you don't feel like you could talk to anybody
about it. So yeah, I'm glad it could help and it was women came
out they were mad as well. And anger is like their sex solid
deadly killer. So but with that said, I guess we will crank it
up. Yeah, we got a little bag. Whoo. So we want to spin that
wheel.
Here we go. Full bag. He says back up. Don't want to get hurt.
We'll have topics rounding around and goes where it stops
no one knows most. No, of course because we put some great press
together again the topic for Moe facts episode number 76. Is he
luck. Luck, luck, we love you smell smell me.
It's that time again. Just let people know that are some
potluck. We do these shows periodically, where we take
three, four or five topics just today I got four. And we're
gonna just cover him like short segments. So I guess we can go
jump right into the first one and clip number two.
Hello, hello hello and welcome to the
Whoopi Goldberg on Monday, the longtime co host returned to the
show, following a two week suspension over comments she
made about the Holocaust on January 31 episode, and although
she didn't directly discuss the controversy will be did tell the
cameras that we're going to keep having tough conversations and
in part, because this is what we've been hired to do. And it's
not always pretty, as I said, and it's not always as other
people would like to hear. But it is an honor to sit at this
table and be able to have these conversations because they're
important. They're important to us as a nation, and to us more
so as a human entity.
Now to refresh your memory will be received major backlash and
criticism on social media over her controversial comments,
which she later apologized for on Twitter, and on the show
prior to being suspended by ABC news President Kim Godwin.
Now words matter and mine are no exception. I regret my comments,
as I said, and I stand corrected. I also stand with the
Jewish people, as they know and y'all know, because I've always
done that. And after reflecting
on her suspension from the show will be took time to take
everyone who reached out to her while she was away.
I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away,
and I'm telling you people reached out from places that
made me go Wait, wait was really okay. And it was amazing. And I
listened to everything everybody had to say. And I was very
grateful. And I hope it keeps all the important conversations
happening.
Oh, yeah. This is good. And I you know, I think that this is
yeah, this is good to talk about this stuff. I want to know
exactly what you think about all this?
Where are you gonna get exactly what I think. As always, cuz
this is one of those topics where you can't be honest about
on the mainstream media. And this is not going to get into
personally what would be saying and why it was wrong. I'll touch
on that. But I want to cover how the media how she was handled in
the media, because we always talk about I mean, when she was
away. Yes, yes. wish she was away away. How and how
enlightened and delightful It was to be suspended. You know,
she couldn't even that go to show you that. She couldn't even
show that she was maybe angry or, or felt some kind of way
about being suspended. Like it was a total refresher like being
at a spa. It was like, yeah, it was a total, like, joyous
occasion. Yeah.
So it was it was a religious experience, man.
Right. So we'll talk about what she said and where she went
wrong. And why she got up, but we're not going to go might
normally. And I'm not gonna say normally 99% of the time, we
usually go out and get the full clip and break it down that way.
But like I said, I want to get into the universe and the media
narrative around it and also talk about the relationship
between black people and Jewish people. So good. Maybe the last
show,
that's the third rail. No, seriously that that's the third
rail, right?
It is I say that in jest, but this may be you know, because
you're not allowed to talk about it. And so we're gonna talk
about why you're not allowed to talk about it. Yeah, I
mean, I know I know. Black podcasters who won't talk about
it on podcast
met one now so that we'll talk about it and that's the point of
it. Being a newly free man talking Well, I've always been
free man talking but that there's no
nothing that you only answer to your Creator.
That's it. You know, I mean, before you know they could try
to get you about the job situation but that's no longer
hanging over my head. But um, yeah, so we can we can really
talking about everything now. And that's, that's, that's the
cool thing about being independent. So let's just go
ahead and get into a clip number three,
what the Goldberg has been suspended from the view for two
weeks after making comments about the Holocaust during
Monday's show where she said, the Holocaust is not about race,
adding that it was about two groups of white people. So
as we mentioned in yesterday's show will be apologized on
Tuesday's episode after taking to Twitter on Monday night,
I said something that I feel a responsibility for not leaving
unexamined because my words upset so many people, which was
never my intention. And I understand why now. And for that
I am deeply, deeply grateful, because the information I got
was really helpful and helped me understand some different
things. And while discussing how a Tennessee School Board
unanimously unanimously voted to remove a graphic novel about the
Holocaust, I said that the Holocaust wasn't about race. And
it was this incident about man's inhumanity to man. But it is
indeed about race, because Hitler and the Nazis considered
Jews to be an inferior race. Now, words matter and mine are
no exception. I regret my comments, as I said, and I stand
corrected. I also stand with the Jewish people, as they know, and
y'all know, because I've always done that.
So when I became aware of this controversy, all I knew was, and
I know that from from our conversations is row. That's the
third rail. And I knew I knew that was much more third rail
than I think any any of my friends know it. Except the
Jewish ones, except the Jewish ones. But they, but they still
don't understand exactly how it's the third rail for a das
for black Americans.
And while hopefully, after this segment will, will be a little
bit clearer. So I gotta make this make this crystal clear
first, saying Jewish. It's like saying black and this aspect of
Sure. There's multiple different variation of Jewish people, you
have Messianic Jews, you have anti Zionist Jews, you have,
you're saying you have just the same thing with black, you have
generalization, yet you have found a black, you have the A
Das, you have Hotep. So you got Hotep. So this doesn't represent
all Jews, or Jewish people. This represents the people that can
make her come out and apologize. This is what we're talking
about, and has that kind of power over what can be said and
what can't be said. Now, I'm going to take this time to
explain where we messed up it. And why and why it was taken
away. It was from my perspective, when she loves
Jewish people in with white people. That ruins the whole
narrative. Yeah. Because with now how it works in the media
not gotta keep stressing this in the media. When you say Jewish
is kind of like were white but not white. At the same time, you
know, they they're kind of like passing
my my Jewish friends do not consider themselves white. They
don't I asked him to say, No, we're not white, but Jewish.
It's that cut and dry.
But that's why I say it's similar to passing exactly
because in we you operate in day to day, you can move about force
it feeling that no,
it's called Shape shifting mo it's called Shape systems. Just
kidding.
Well, what it is, is that when they go into business meetings,
whatever they can be closeted. Now, here's my question about,
is it a race? Is it a religion? You know, cuz it's a weird
thing, because she had this thing called secular Jews, or
secular Jewish people where they don't adhere to anything
religious, but they're Jewish by lineage. So you have that one
thing, but like I said, we'll be where she messed up it by
lumping them together, when people are critical, white
people, quote, unquote, that lumps them in. No, no, no, no.
My protective tape around me, you took that off, and everybody
kept saying, You sure you want to do this? And what she was
saying was, it was about race, how we look at race of color,
the social sand the, what it called? The social construct, I
believe with race. Yeah. It was two white groups against each
other. That's yeah, that's exactly what she said. Yeah, so
that's where she messed up. Because when people are critical
of white people, and you're saying the Jewish people can't
edit the media can't
doesn't fit in with the violent white supremacy extremists who
want to kill Jews. You see, right, like Charlottesville,
Charlottesville.
Correct. So um, so we're gonna get into the second part of this
clip, and then after that, we'll get into some history of the
relationship.
Now Despite the apology ABC news President Kim Godwin announced
with the suspension on Tuesday nights and this in a statement
effective immediately I'm suspending Whoopi Goldberg for
two weeks for her wrong and hurtful comments. While Whoopi
has apologized. I've asked her to take time to reflect and
learn about the impact of her comments. The entire ABC news
organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish
colleagues, friends, family and communities.
Yeah. Meanwhile, former co host Meghan McCain weighed in on
Whoopi his comments, reading on Twitter. I hate commenting on my
old employer because I have moved in every way a person can
move on. That being said, I am an activist against anti
semitism and it is a big part of my life. The growing threat is
real and violent and everywhere. I am heartbroken about what was
said.
Yeah, and here's how the view addressed will be his absence
today. Take a look.
Good morning, and welcome to the view. You all saw the news we'll
be we'll be back here in two weeks. Okay. Tara said mayor has
returned to guest co host. So let's get to hot topics, ladies.
It's the year it's muddy waters. I think at the end of the day,
we have to educate elevate words that come to mind educate,
elevate, will be has been around for a long time, I could
appreciate that. She was humble about it, you know, the initial
things and like a wrong and strong, you know, but I think
it's also generational. And like she mentioned living in black
skin. It's just a different experience. It doesn't negate
the fact that, you know, it's okay to educate ourselves about
others. But we want that as black people learn about our
plight. Ah,
it's weird that I'm excited about this episode. I'm not
quite sure what it is like, no,
no. Because we love dancing on the third rail. Yeah, both of
us. And it's not to be in, you know, cinerary or just, you
know, to provoke. No, no, and nobody else wants to talk about
it. Yeah, the problem.
Yes, thank you. That's exactly why we do this. And Malcolm X
commanded us to do that. So hello, would just doing we were
told, I did want to say that. One of our one of our really
good friends. She's a public school teacher, high school, AP,
in Austin. And she's, you know, we're always laughing because,
you know, Hey, you are our favorite lib. tard. And she has
she's like, Yes, I am. And, you know, and but she's so open and
so willing to discuss and she's Jewish. So the only thing I want
to say is in the past, not just the past 24 months and of the
pandemic, but also through most of the Trump presidency, she has
been truly terrified of anti semitism, and they're coming to
get all the Jews. And I mean, like, seriously beyond. Like,
like, into hysterics, I've even talked her down a couple times.
It's the same programming that we have, yes, we'll go through.
So I just want to say, although not Jewish myself, that I have
paid very close attention to when you know, when friends of
mine talk like that, I want to know and so I've had a lot of
conversation. And so that, that just that fear that terror and
so, you know, just to make it seem like we've done some
homework on all sides. It's you have to humanize everybody, of
course, in the whole, the whole conversation.
Right. And like I said, this is about more about how it plays
out in the media and why certain people can't say certain things.
Brianne, if you even noticed joy, Bihar was really short,
with not being supportive. So I think this will be a good time
to get into the strain relationship between black and
Jewish Americans. Yes,
the story of the relationship between the Jewish and black
communities in America is complex with periods of
division, harmony, hostility, suspicion and apathy. What are
the historical roots of both the cooperation and conflict we see
between these two communities today? And how do we create a
vision for a brighter future? In the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, Jewish opinions on slavery were in line with their
white neighbors as the politics of the US shifted. Northern Jews
increasingly opposed slavery, while southern Jews continued to
be sympathetic to slave ownership. Though there were
notable exceptions. These included Rabbi David Einhorn who
in 1861 gave an anti slavery sermon, his congregation erupted
in anger and the rabbi was forced to flee to the north. In
the early 20th century, the Jewish community's demographics
and opinions began to shift. Jews migrating from hostile
countries settled in North Eastern American cities, where
they encountered black southerners fleeing Jim Crow
laws and other forms of extreme racism. Coming from anti semitic
Europe, many Jews recognized and drew attention to the parallels
in the black and Jewish experience some Yiddish
newspapers refer to violent attacks on black Americans like
the Tulsa massacre as pilgrims. However, even with these
positive developments division remained between black and
Jewish Americans. Both groups were Lightning Rounds for other
people's hatred. And many Jews who aspire to assimilate or just
make a living. We're afraid of associating too much with a
group so openly mistreated.
So where's this from? This is from unpack on YouTube. So I
figure I'll use anything YouTube. So sure. Government
approves right stamp is safe. But that is the thing that there
has been this relationship between good mean, bad in the
sense of slavery. And we want to talk about there was a
significant amount of percentage of plantations owned by Jewish
Americans. And then when you go north, you had what we talked
about in the last show these race riots, that was part of the
clash as well. Right. Right. They are competing for the same
resources. And you also had where this district did not
distrust but um, you know, it
was it was, yeah, it was, but it was seen as bad as to associate
with, as I heard in that clip, literally, because of where the,
where the black man stood
with distrust on other sides, because it's like, Are you only
dealing with us because you we share the same problems. But
once you're assimilate, right, then you're saying you're gonna
turn your back on us? Right? What a distress comes, comes in
between the strain relationship. So I think this is I mean, this
we have five parts to this clip. So I think they did a really
good job on pack of capturing what what it's like between it,
and we could see some of the things that still exist to this
day. So if you want to go ahead and get into number six, we can.
This distance remained until the 1930s, when the rise of the Nazi
Party in Germany paralleled an increase in anti semitism in the
US fearful and in need of allies, Jewish Americans sought
support and the black community was one of the few to join their
cause. Black and Jewish success began working together to
challenge employment and housing discrimination, combat racial
and religious violence and fight for inclusion in social and
professional spheres. In the years following the Second World
War. The bond between the communities group Jews made up
at least 30% of non Black Freedom Riders risking arrest
and violence for black solidarity. Jewish lawyers
battled Jim Crow laws, while black organizations like the
NAACP, whose founders included Jews supported the creation of
the State of Israel. Black and Jewish Americans, along with
other minorities led the effort to desegregate Medical
Association's southern universities, businesses and
community activities while working to introduce social
programs for the benefit of all members of society. While
southern Jewish support for segregation dwindled, the
community was still torn over how to respond, Southern Jews
faced pressure from their northern counterparts to condemn
segregation, but they feared that making official statements
against segregation would result in retribution from their white
neighbors. Others argued that the community need not make
official statements about a topic that didn't directly
relate to the Jewish community. As a result, some southern
Jewish institutions withdrew their support for National
Jewish organizations that came out publicly against
segregation.
Hmm, I didn't know about this divide No, no at all.
In for people who don't know what's going on. The narrative
is black people are hand in hand with Jewish people. And they
share the same plight. And they're all on the same on the
same on board with the same struggle. One thing is the
NAACP. But we pointed out on the show I have ever seen. And I
guess you agree, because I've laid it out so clear that even
the groups like NAACP were started or went or ran by Jewish
people. And what it does is this is and from my perspective,
black people are on the bottom. And so anytime the bottom can be
raised up and given certain privileges, everybody above that
is going to receive a bump. It's kind of like the all time all
rising tide boats, right? So if you raise black people up, then
we're going to enjoy that and you can't treat us any worse
than black people. So black people can be treated, treated
humanely, then that benefits Jewish Americans. That's kind of
how the relationship goes. But the problem is, if we were hand
in hand, as this kind of illustrated here, why don't you
see the same amount of success? Why don't you see the same
amount of Even just like the loyalty being reciprocated, why
don't you see that? Why don't you see joy Bihar and go into
the office to say, No, you can't fire me, you can't suspend
Whoopi, she's an ally. Because if the shoe was on the other
foot and I have proof of this, but if the shoe was on the other
foot would be we're going office. It's a no you can't
suspend joy. She's an ally.
That and I think that's probably also who will be is enjoy Bay
heart. It just seems like a two faced person regardless. But um,
yeah, I mean, I, I think that she chose the job. And she
doesn't feel like she has the power to do that in this
situation.
i This is a reoccurring thing. Mm hmm. Where it's not that love
is not reciprocated, sure. So that's what causes the distrust.
And then they also do this weird thing where even in this package
that we have here it was the North people that were good and
South people that were back, well, of course has that you see
the same thing here? Um, so that's,
so this is really just a subplot of the overall north south
racial divide.
Correct. So that's, that's the thing. It's just,
well, that's good to know. I
mean, you don't you don't feel the love? Sure, feel the love
coming back. And, um,
but that started a long time ago, this love not coming back.
But it seems like it's always been that way.
Well, I'll say this from my studies. And I could be wrong.
I'm saying, but from my understanding of my studies, and
my living this interesting experience, I'm basically Jewish
people were the blue light for black people before they created
the blu ray. Ah, seriously, that was a you know, um, you know,
we'll keep them in line and that kind of thing. Interesting. And
that's kind of how their game their way up the ladder. Well,
okay,
so my, the only experience I have with that, which is a,
which would immediately be deemed an anti semitic trope.
But we both agree, we're going to dance on the rail. But I
literally saw in the music industry, this dynamic play out
all the time, particularly with black artists, right up to
Michael Jackson, by the way, I know firsthand, like, shut up.
You can't go to the bathroom, stay in the limo.
And that's the thing. And that's where it really plays out in
entertainment.
Yes, in entertainment, which is what we're dealing with. With
Whoopi. That's exactly it.
That's why I say let's focus on the media. And we can bring in
entertainment as well, because anytime I'll give you a sample,
when Bill Maher gets into trouble with black people, he'll
bring a black person Oh, yeah, I'm a black person gets in
trouble or say anything anti semitic. You can't find anybody
around to come along and put an arm around and say, Hey, he's
cool. He's cool. Alright, and then he even goes in further
than that. Because if you have any association with anybody
deemed problematic, you're done. He Farah Khan, Farah Khan is the
litmus test to say, Oh, well, you've he could be simpler. Or
you took a picture with fair comment your arm around him.
You're saying I apologize now. Right? Are you you're you won't
be able to work in this town kind of thing. And I'm just
saying I'm channeling what? What has failed and seen. Now I'll
say this. I have no problem with the music industry. The reason
why is if you claim yourself a man, a fully autonomous man,
when you sign a contract, you should know what's in that
contract. Yeah. So I don't I don't know. Nobody can get you.
Oh, I got God. No, you didn't get God you didn't read? You
know, so if you can't have it both ways, you can't and that's
gonna be a forewarning. That's gonna be a weaved into this
whole episode, even though it's a potluck that you can't say I'm
an autonomous person. And then say somebody's got you. Yeah,
you feel I'm saying either you visit with that person or know
what you're signing on to do business.
But this is as old as as the music business as them today's
modern music business itself. We are going back to here so here's
a Cadillac.
Oh, well, do you want me right into it? But Cadillac records is
that great. Have you ever seen that movie? Of course, okay. So
Cadillac records, so the whole thing Mary's they took payment
in other forms, Cadillac closed those kinds of things, and then
felt like they were done wrong. It's like, No, you should have
known what was in your, in your contract. So for myself, always
take the Howlin Wolf approach. Pay me what you owe me. It was I
saw I won't Here's the I don't want anything else but what you
owe me because there may be some strings attached that comes
along with that down the line. People don't know, Howlin Wolf,
you're saying he was he was very independent in that way in that
movie where he went take cars or clothes and nothing like that he
was just like, whatever you owe me pay me. Yep. And that's the
that's kind of how I actually take part of that when I do
business as well is like, I don't want anything other than
what we agreed upon.
But it but to be fair, that was all learning grounds. So the
people who were on the other side of the equation they have
centuries of, if not more, of trade and business and
understanding. And at that time that the near the talented black
artists didn't have that. And so, you know, the only way to
learn sometimes is to go through the is to go through the crap
now that people can't look back and say, Hmm, hold on a second.
What can I learn from this? That's really inexcusable, but
there's a lot who would completely get it out of it. And
I think most of today's the modern hip hoppers, I think they
control a lot more than it used to be. No, no, Kanye doesn't
know cuz he said it. Remember he said, and I don't know if you
remember what he said. They signed me to deal on the 256
page contract. Right now. I'm saying
I know I understand. But he's been moving for he's he's broken
away from that now, hasn't he?
Yes. Well, I mean, the fact that he got I'm saying, but then
until he got got, yeah, his mind. I'm just thinking in his
mind. And that's why I appreciate Kanye, because he
understands I signed the contract. He didn't blame
anybody. Right. But it was on entertainment. Let me just bring
up one point in the Superbowl since the newsstand. That's
where yeah, yes, we know that they have fleas I saw
so with the Super Bowl. I'm gonna say it from the side.
Notice conservatives, they were got kind of bent out of shape
about the Super Bowls. And it was I've heard terms like
pornographic. Um, it was racial baiting that kind of thing.
The halftime show specifically.
Specifically, excuse me, let me for people to understand me not
going on about the suepo. But that was a big deal. Let me fill
people in. So the Super Bowl Halftime Show was supposed to be
a form of reparations are atonement for the ill doings of
the NFL.
Yeah, this was why they hired Jay Z's Roc a fella to do the
halftime shows and see we love black people.
Exactly. But when they when it comes out and says, oh, when
people come out and are critical of it, they don't take it to the
record labels. They didn't go to Jimmy IV. To Interscope, no.
Jay, it's like so why would you argue and fight and blame the
workers? Because there's all Snoop and Dre and all that where
they work? I mean, people get upset about or not, and Jay Z
was just a glorified prom event planner. Yeah, you weren't, they
weren't gonna let you get any ownership. But my point is, the
slings and arrows start with the workers ever goes to the they
never blame their source. Yeah, that's not I think the main
summoner Redfield, you know, Jimmy IV, all these people, they
never get any blame for the the problematic or the perceived
problematic nature of hip hop. It always stops to the arts, but
like, when you stop it at the funding data, you wouldn't have
these people. Right, and so I just guess that's a great
illustration of Jamie Ivey reaps all the benefits when he gets
none of the blame, because he lets his workers take the money.
Right, but Dre does did get a piece of ownership in that in
that whole apple deal on everything with beats.
No, he did. But I'm just saying he was out there worked when I
mean by worker is on the stage. Yeah. You know, saying that that
part of it. I didn't hear anybody critical of the
Superbowl. No, of course not. I get to the take it to the top.
But you also would never just hear that in the mainstream
narrative. That's just not going to be done. So even if someone
could, because it's career suicide, they know it.
So it's like, we're like we're Cannon Fodder at the end of the
day. That's how we proceed.
Listen, listen, we gave you Eminem. Can't you be happy? You
got a white guy? All right.
With him begging me to. He was like he was. Alright, Avenue.
You're the only way I can take a knee. All right. What
was interesting is that Tina and I are watching and Tina's like,
Oh, she's singing along. You know, she's white girl, although
she's half Mexican. And she's like, Yeah, this wow, what a
great halftime show. And then, later, she's like, looking at
Twitter. She's like, what does everyone What happened here, she
she didn't get it. She just loved it. He thought it was a
great show. She enjoyed it thoroughly.
It was a great production. But that'll be another show for
another day. I don't want to. I don't want to carry too long.
It's just the fact that one and I'm gonna show you how this is.
Once again, I don't blame anybody that whenever you sign
on a contract, which is what you get whatever deal you make,
that's what you get. I don't blame anybody for anything. But
I want to just show how power works. Yeah, there's no way
Jewish Americans will see. Beth Mettler, you were saying before
me at the Super Super Bowl Halftime Show was a win,
actually. It's like, Oh, we got we got to halftime, right? It's
like, okay, we need about three owners now. Roster spots and
then we can call it even about what you take.
And maybe maybe one or two more coaching spots that would be
kind of even I know that
right? Because we want we want tangibles. We want something not
some performative something that just looks you know looks good
on the surface. We want actual institutional change. So I say
all that to say pay attention. You know what? emulate the
greatest Ross will say you know, you copy what works it best
house powers achieved and maintained. Learn from it. And I
don't, I'm not a hater. I don't hate anything. As far as that,
you know, if it's a win, it's a win. But I'm just saying to the
people that are allowed themselves to be cannon fodder,
stop being cannon fodder. So I guess we we kind of hung on that
one a little long. So I guess we can go and jump into number
seven.
The growing northern Jewish population did not share the
concerns of their southern counterparts iconic photos of
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel marching alongside the Reverend
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. encapsulates the best of the
black Jewish relationship at the time, often called the golden
period between the two communities. Rabbi Joachim
prince, who devoted much of his life to the American Civil
Rights Movement, spoke just before MLK took the podium in DC
to deliver his famous I Have a Dream speech. Black and Jewish
Americans continued the fight for civil rights during the 1964
Freedom Summer project in Mississippi, where Jewish
activists joined others helping register black voters and join
protests in front of courthouses. In June 1964, James
Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were abducted and
murdered for their fight for equal voting rights. The ensuing
outraged pushed Lyndon Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Act The
following month, while Jews still face discrimination in the
1960s. The ability for many Jews to pass as White still set them
apart from their black peers. Jews had relatively greater
access to education and finances, giving them more class
mobility. These opportunities, combined, in some part with the
healthy bonds between the communities enabled Jews to open
businesses and buy property in predominantly black areas, a
degree of coexistence that sowed the seeds of discord. A Jew was
now their boss, their landlord or their creditor playing into
age old anti semitic tropes.
Ah, this is that was great stuff. I didn't know about the
the people who were murderers it that was the spark for the Civil
Rights Act.
Yes. Now we've talked about the last show. And these shows are
set up in a way. So
yes, Professor. Yes, we know your curriculum is very
impressive. Yes, you've always
predict the whoopee thing. I'm just saying that it's
supposed to be that way. That's exactly that's exactly what we
want.
So why is it the all the 4000 lynchings that happened? Post
slavery, that wasn't enough. But you're saying 3g Jewish people?
We got to do now. And then what I'm saying? Yeah, I want to make
this very clear. This is not about one group or the other
group because I bring the same heat and intensity of feminism.
Yeah, how I'm saying black women signed on with him and got the
short end of the stick. But it's not
it's also giving me insight into Jewish Americans inside I didn't
have,
right that's the whole that's why I want to so same thing.
When you when we come to the table and have these
conversations, we can actually understand and say, hey, that's
why you feel that way. You're saying okay, Seek first to
understand then to be understood. It's like, oh, now I
get why. And you feel that way. And that's why I said they were
the Boulais before the Boulay because they aren't all the
shops, they are all that mean in the net black neighborhoods, the
shops do real estate, that kind of thing. And they had this
thing where not all but it was common, where you would rent a
fit. We forget what it's called. But basically, you buy a house
but it wasn't a more So if you missed one payment, they could
take your house from our view, we like one payment, they could
take your house for like rent to buy or something kind of similar
that, you know, you lose your deposit base, or whatever you
put in, you lose it, and they would turn around and sell the
house. So I'm just saying this is what built into that tension.
Yeah, that's the distrust right there. And again, you, you you
were you were you were you were God by the Jewish man was a
shitty contract that you didn't read?
No, but you didn't. We weren't God, because we didn't read it.
Understand it? Yes. This is what it's about talking about being a
man when you're a man or autonomous. I can read like you
can read. I can do math, like you can do math. If I didn't
read that contract, just like what your terms and services on
your apps, yeah, what you said, Well, you just scroll down to
the bottom and check. And they come up to you, like, years from
now, like you saw just your first kid.
You're the humans human centipede.
That's, that's the thing, like, and that's why I carry myself
like I do, because this feeds on the last show of, you can't be a
victim. You know, that's why I rally so hard against
victimhood, because when you say you're a victim, then you're
saying you need help, right? Or you need you're saying or you
need and I know some I can read people's microphylla right now
they're saying, but mo your for atonement? No, no, no, no. Let
me make clear what I'm talking about. Tom, let me make this
clear. First of all about atonement. I'm saying I'm not
voting for anybody until you have something for me. I don't
want anything from you. I'm not gonna I'm not begging you for
anything. But when you want something for me, we're gonna
have a transaction. See how that works. It's not all please
leafleting. That's why I want to get away from that word
reparations. Because it lends to repair. Oh, I need you to fix
me, please fix me, blow. I have something that you want, called
a vote. And you have something I want. Called money. Alright, so
we can have a fair exchange. But it's not that I want you to fix
me, then I'm a victim. So I just want to make that very clear.
Yep. All right. Oh, sorry. No, no,
that's actually the most succinct you've ever said it. I
think it's, it's so obvious. And by the way, it's the way votes
this way it works all over the world.
That's how business works. Now, we ain't no fame, no friends,
and all we know, I'm gonna get you on the back end that can No
I'll make you whole bro. Don't worry.
We're gonna need to see something for it. So I guess we
can go and get number eight now.
Throughout the 1970s and 80s. The bonds between the Jewish and
black communities strained under growing racial tensions in urban
America. Atlanta's first Jewish Mayor employed racist rhetoric
in his reelection campaign against black challenger may NAR
Jackson. In 1984 presidential hopeful Jesse Jackson made a
number of anti semitic comments referring to Jews as Jaime's the
growth and visibility of the anti semitic Nation of Islam
didn't help matters as the Israeli Palestinian conflict
drew greater international attention division between the
communities mounted as Palestinians were increasingly
seen as people of color with Jews seen as white oppressors.
And while many in both communities continue to cherish
the golden period of the 50s and 60s, others began to portray
Jewish support for civil rights as paternalistic and therefore
just another form of racism. Tension seem to come to a climax
in the 1991 Crown Heights riots erupted after a Hasidic man
accidentally veered his car onto a sidewalk, killing seven year
old Gavin Kato, the next day in retaliation. 29 year old Yankel
Rosenbaum was stabbed and beaten by a group of black men.
Rosenbaum died a few hours later from his wounds over the next
three days. Rioters looted stores and damaged Jewish
property. The violence of the Crown Heights riots touched a
nerve for some the pain mistrust and anger continues to this day.
I was in New York at the time and I was doing the morning show
on z 100. When this went down, it was it was an intense time
and a lot of the leadership that we so so called leadership we
have now in the black community got caught up in that this error
and saying things like Jesse Jackson said Al Sharpton had his
MO Jonas amazing now that they're still allowed to have
leadership and maybe that's how they're co opted and
compromised. Just give me a thought for a minute.
Yeah, well, you know, when it comes to Al Sharpton you know
it's it's what he has. He's like a protected man. You know, he I
read that he actually had he blessed the Comcast NBC merger
that that they had some racial diversity equity. issues in the
merger the SEC wouldn't approve it until his coalition network,
whatever his thing is, until they'd blessed it and probably
Jesse Jackson as well. And then Sharpton got his MSNBC show like
six months later.
Right. And that's my point is that that's the gas and brakes
right now. It's the gas or we can use him, you know, or he has
if he has the ability to cause them strife. Yeah. But they're
not going to have him be able to completely leverage them. Oh,
never No, no, you remember our don't forget the, you know, the
those those statements that you made up in Harlem, but not the
same. Same thing with Jesse Jackson, you know, when they
really need to bring you in and rein you in. It's like, Hey, let
me make Jesse, let me talk to you for a minute. I remember
that tape. And it's the same way now. It's like, hey, who went
fill in the blank? You remember you was at Farah Khan's
festival? Yeah, fair Khan's to go to now. He's the ne ne but
he's so toxic. And we've seen this with Tamika Mallory that
she had to go on. They actually put her down to the BIA who's
Tamika Mallory. She's the one. She's one. She is the she's the
heir apparent of Al Sharpton. I mean, tow.
Ah, yes. We. He sent me a YouTube of her the other day.
Right? Yeah. So
she she she's the heir apparent, but also, um, she had gotten in
trouble with Linda Sarsour. I think it's how you pronounce her
name? Yeah,
yeah. Democratic socialists No, wait. Yes. Isn't she the one
that's trying to infiltrate with the DSA with the
ah, she was she was big on the anti pattern of the pro
Palestine stuff. Yes. I think she's a Muslim.
She is yes. Yeah.
We once again goes back to with the whole Jewish thing is your
are your race or religion? Because when we talk about
Muslims, it's like, Nah, um, I think it's Arab. I don't want to
offend anybody. But I think we you're from that region of the
world because Middle Eastern, you're where you are from the
area, but you are not of the faith. Is there a distinction?
Yeah. Have that with the Jewish situation?
To Mika's parents were founding members of sharpens National
Action Network, correct? No.
So that's what I'm saying her association with a with Farah
Khan, is her
tomorrow mechanism. Right, right, of course.
Because anytime we need to get you back in line we can use Hey,
you remember, we found this picture of Tamika Mallory with
farecard it just popped up all of a sudden, interesting. I was
even though it's 10 years old. I know. Let's get that server
circulating on the internet again. Oh, yes. So
it's interesting. I'm looking forward now if it's on YouTube,
I don't think so.
Oh, they'll scrub it because they need it. They can't.
They gotta drop the one it's hot.
Unpack five.
More recently, old wounds were reopened when voices within
movements like Black Lives Matter and the Women's March
made anti semitic and anti Zionist remarks in 2019
extremist connected to the Black Hebrew Israelite movement were
responsible for the murder of four people including two Jews
at a Jersey City synagogue and kosher supermarket. For some
these are simply isolated incidents. For others. This
violence points to a broader, unacknowledged anti semitism
reflected in anti Defamation League polls that find black
Americans are significantly more likely than white Americans to
accept anti semitic stereotypes. Despite these ongoing tensions,
the communities continue to find common ground a shared sense of
fear and urgency after the 2017 unite the right rally in
Charlottesville, alarmed both communities and triggered a rise
in collaboration between some Jewish and black organizers and
activists in 2019. The late John Lewis, along with congressional
representatives formed the Bipartisan Congressional Caucus
on black Jewish relations, which now consists of 55 members.
Today's efforts at cooperation always fall under the shadow
cast by the traumas of racism and anti semitism, pain and
mistrust. But there is tremendous hope. One year after
the Jersey City murders, numbers of both communities say the
violence has forced them to leave their respective bubbles
and confront difficult issues together a model relevant well
beyond Jersey City. As Pamela Johnson of the Jersey City anti
violence coalition Movement said we may not have always
understood each other, but we are all in this together.
Hmm. I wonder if there's a way out.
Sit down and have a conversation that's about it. Right? And if
they My point is this we're not talking about all on both sides.
We're talking about because there's Messianic Jews, there's
anti Zionist Jewish people. Yeah, cuz they get just as much
more smoke, because they're seen as the quote unquote, sellout of
their group. It's like, I'm saying, how are you going to go
again?
It's, it's a form of colorism.
Yeah. So let me let me let me we said a couple of things. We said
in that clip, one, that the Charlottesville thing was the
maybe be the source of the renewed anxiety that you spoke
to before this, your friend was feeling it because it's the
right propaganda in my control, and he spells work is to say, it
works like, Hey, you can't you can't say it doesn't work. But
the way you the way you defuse it is you have to unpack that
conversation. Now. We talked about the money and getting
caught and that kind of thing. But there's another thing that
we haven't talked about yet. And it's about who's the real juice.
Mm hmm. Who's the real Jewish people? Because and that's why
they brought up these Black Hebrew Israelites group.
Yeah, that was that was on my list. Yes.
So so what we got it. You have black people, some black people
that believe that we are the chosen people, just by what is
written in the Bible. You look at the curse of Deuteronomy 28.
Like, yep, yep. Yep. Yep, that sounds like this. Oh,
I'll have to read that. Now. Let's hold on a second. Dude,
your nominee, what?
Deuteronomy 28. So it goes down the curses of the chosen people.
And when you look at some of that stuff in there, it's like,
Hmm, that's very interesting. And then like I said, we all
people do this even in China, you know, saying they say Christ
is Chinese. They show Christ as Chinese or Asian. Interesting,
that kind of thing. So you have this going on. But this is
another real thing of a significant number of black
people think Jesus is black and yeah, shrinks did that makes the
Jewish people have to be black? Just by association, right? Oh,
it's highly unlikely Jesus was a white guy. That doesn't seem
very, very logical.
That's that's the issue of it. So it's like, well, hold on.
Now, this doesn't make any sense. But my point is this. So
I noticed on YouTube, they let these Black Hebrew Israelites
and I'm not talking about the brother cuz I got some friends
that are black, Hebrew Israelites. So I'm not talking
about them. I'm talking about the ones that stand on the
corner of New York and DC and these places, and that year, the
most vile is racist. I'm just crazy stuff. But you too, don't
take them off. It's like, Hold on. Wait, wait a minute. Wait a
minute. You you get removed for this, like this might get
removed? I mean, I'm just I'm I'm thinking about not even
posting. This is how it really is. Seriously, we're just
letting people know if you don't see it on us.
Yeah, well, I kind of I kind of want to know if it gets taken
down. That would be highly surprising. But you
know, it wouldn't be surprising because that's what I'm saying.
That's YouTube's policy. It's like we have a no anti semitism
policy. But yet and still, you have these Black Hebrew
Israelites. It's like a caricature of them. They stand
on the corner and they're allowed to yell all these crazy
names, but they don't get taken down. So it's like is this
working for your benefit? But
who are they who are they yelling against black people
Jewish know what white people in general
but they are saying they go at Jewish people even harder, but
nobody takes them now they understand like in but the point
is just take it from YouTube for a minute. They're in like Times
Square Washington DC, just standing on the street corner.
Yeah, I'm doing this and it's like how are you? I have to
think is this beneficial to you're saying to submit see me
the fact that you know saying this, this this Hey, is this out
here? Right you know is used for their their advantage? Because I
just find it weird what they do take now and they leave that up?
I'm just just strange. It's a strange just
the judge doesn't help the Brotherhood come together thing
any?
No. And what it does is it makes everybody saying say they
subscribe to you know, saying black people being the people or
the book or the Bible. My Oh, yeah, he's one of them. Hate for
people. It was just like with anything like black say, I'll
give you I'll give you a great parallel. White nationalist,
right. Are black nationalists. Just say you're a black
nationalist. It's like, oh, you're one of those like your
right wing white nationalists but just black. Right? It's
like, but we clearly stand in Malcolm Max was a black
nationalist meaning in the definition he says, you know,
saying we need to create our own things. We need to have our own
things. But you see by association, you can be
demonized. Yes, of course. So I'm just wondering why they're
allowed to be left up there on YouTube. And they're never taken
down an issue. I find that to be convenient.
As I say, it's it's total bullshit. If you want to make
the world a better place. Yes. Yeah. As far as saying this,
this lane. It's lame, obviously. Yeah. So that's the history of
it. And like I said, that's just This is an outrage, we will not
have these black Israelites getting away with it.
What they're saying anybody, any Israelites, whatever, say
anybody that says that they're willing to their chosen people
are like him right now. And they may need to be dealt with in the
same way they do. They did it. I'm saying we've seen it done
with the Muslims, by everybody. This Muslim is like a part of
Taliban, you know, it's like, what, how do you make that?
Right? But you know, so just I just want to be clear, my fix is
I don't give a crap what YouTube does, the more stupid they are,
the better and people will eventually wind up in other
places that just are fair and work better. So yes, I'm not I'm
not I'm not trying to get anyone to fix anything with YouTube
screw.
No, but I care. Because if someone says that they're
believe that they're the chosen people, and you go on YouTube
and look it up. It's like, oh, you're then you come back, huh?
You're in a hate group? That kind of thing. So yeah, that's
that's why I have a problem with it. Because it's just pushing is
that actually, there is this corporate funded hate? And so
that's why we need to get rid of YouTube you're saying and find
better things to do? Yes. And in the meantime, we're just Amala
eyeballs so we had to siphon off as many people on before Sam
before we leave, got my man TT say and I always message saying,
slogan up with like, basically, we don't want to go big on
YouTube. We want to grow big enough to be independent of
YouTube. Hey, who's DD media? Oh, yeah, he's, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So
one of these days, one of these days I got to hang out with you.
Eclass TD media.
That's what the converse is about. He's got he's been in the
converse. That's what we do over there. You're saying we we hang
out.
Now, I mean, like really hang out?
Well, I've never really hung out with TV. This is a YouTube
friend. Oh, but he's a he's a real friend at the same time,
but ah,
that's not a safe space for me. Mo I'm good here. I'm good here
with you. This is my safe space right here. All right.
I want to show now is this is when J Jor. Beyhadh. got called
out for wearing blackface? Oh, yeah. Do you remember that? Of
course, of course. So I want to show you the lack of
reciprocation. Reciprocity, that's the term? Yeah. We're
paying. You're saying one hand washes the other. Right. Right.
You're saying so I don't think Joy got kicked off the view from
you're saying two weeks or anytime free? No. At that time,
the capital offense of wearing blackface I mean, people were
getting counseled left and right. But somehow she was able
to, you know, weather the storm. But not only weathered that
storm, I want you to pay attention to how the other
people, specifically the black people on the panel, the view
came to her defense over the black face issue. Number.
This joy speaking, Joy. Yeah, paraded around in black face not
too long ago. Come on, Joe. I don't think you should be.
I mean, come on Kim. Excuse me, I have to say something to you.
He told Bob Woodward, that it was a very serious issue. And
it's airborne, and that it was terrible. And then he went out
and told the American people don't wear masks. It's all going
to go away. You have to put some blame on your president. And I'm
sorry. You're putting it on something extraneous here. Talk
to the point, please. Is this this joy
speaking? Joy? Yeah, read it around in blackface not too long
ago. Come on, Joe. I don't think you should be asking questions.
I mean, the black community had my back. They know that that's
not he has my own mind.
He has your back. The black community has your community
design for you.
Stop right there. I want people to pay attention to Joyce a
sunny teller. Like she was saying like her attack doll like
oh yeah, I are Sunny. So just getting back up a little bit. So
people can hear I just want to kind of hard to hear so what I'm
saying so people can click Really we hear what's going on.
Come on, Joe. I don't think you should be asking questions.
I mean, the black community had my back. They know that that's
not he has my homage out.
Loud he has your back. The black community has your back. A
community design for you, black.
Vote for you
what it was during Sunday. Can I speak? What are you living
during a special? Well, we were still under lockdown. People
Sunni, which is also a lawyer, which makes it even better,
which Sunni Why didn't Sunni come to would be his defense.
That's her sister. Right? What I'm saying is what you know why?
Because Sonny's husband is Jewish.
Oh, really? No. Oh, yes.
So what I'm saying is, why don't these people go? You hear how
they roll for joy? Yeah, Cam classic. Who are saying it was
pretty damn black. Right. So you hear Oh, really? Wow, they got
your back. Oh, wow. Sonny had no problem jumping all over Kim. on
George's behalf. But Why didn't these same people go into things
ABC office and say, You know what? We're gonna make a stink
if you get rid of what? Because that's our sister. That's our
view, sister. Right. And you didn't know that? What was that
it?
So I can a comes back to what we said before I even though I'm
not a fan of most of the people we've been playing clips of. I
don't think they're inherently evil, racist, horrible people.
They are cowards. And they're cowards because of they know
where the control is.
That's my point. Yes,
I know. That's, that's why I'm, that's why I'm saying and then
that is the most anti semitic trope you can ever come up with.
And I've been punished for it in mainstream for saying, well,
here's what I'm seeing. And that's why it can never be
discussed. But you know, same school teacher, I talked to her
about this that way. She says, oh, yeah, absolutely. Of course.
It's like, you can discuss it with real friends. But I don't
think that really is discussed in public, this is not
happening. It doesn't happen except here now.
And you can have these private conversations, that's fine. But
with like, you have to tow a line. And like, say, I'm not
holding that against them, or anybody when you know, if you
want, if that's the kind of power that you will find. But at
the same time, when Joy got caught out for black face, and
we're seeing black faces a bad thing, there's no exception
given joy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sonny and Whoopi was supposed to
go in her dressing room, like a dorm, say, you know, the call?
Oh, there's a you got to sit now for a week or two. I mean,
that's just, you know, you know how it goes. But you see, it's
not about I don't want to take power away from anybody. What I
want to do is if that was power, power operates and looks like
we're, you're saying you can say, you know, this is bad for
our brand. You know, that's, that's not gonna fly. That's
just like gone. Let's go back to subo for a minute. If the
majority of black people say, You know what? We have a
gangster rappers on a Super Bowl. With turkeys. Not a good
look for us. You know, I mean, it's not it's not a net song
when, you know, and then they know we're not gonna do it.
If I may say, Yes, I love the short stout dancers a lot.
Just carry like the big like, like a big way I pay attention.
That's, um, I'm just saying it's something about the moves. I
mean, I'm an entertainment guy. Right? I can talk. I can totally
remove myself from all the bullshit. I'm like, shit. Yeah,
that's good. I mean, I'm right down to chubby 50 cent hanging
upside down like surprising, like that move. You know, it's
like I see it for what it is I sometimes you just can't read
too much into it. But that's not the world we live in. And I
totally get what you're saying.
I told you it's not it's not about trying to take away shut
silence people or anything like that. I'm just saying you were
all about fair. If it's fair for one group to do this, it'd be
should be fair for all groups to do this. And especially if we're
allies. Yeah, that's the thing. If we're allies, then it needs
to be you know, an allegiance
a real allegiance.
Yeah. Right. So I got another clip here saying from this is
another. Another pro. I don't know who it was. I can't find
out who was talking. Maybe you can catch this catch his voice.
But it's just not Kim. But this is another guy called Bob. Joy
out and listen to the response to the panel.
We don't want to have The country lives. We've all we've
all
we've all done things that we regret. I mean, if we're talking
about bringing the discourse to joy you've worn blackface won't
be
on site and
Roman Polanski it wasn't Rape Rape when he raped a child
so let's talk about why you want to bring this up. The question
came up I did not allow blackface please she was not in
blackface I listened being black I recognize blackface this I can
say
in praise of naturally curly hair. They say that it's making
a comeback.
We've always had curly statement
Oh, picture now I know joy. I was so good. I was it was a
Halloween party. I went as a beautiful African woman.
Oh, yeah, black but that's the whole point that was made you
have tanning lotion on makeup. That was a little bit my actual
hands.
If I may analyze this was my MO facts with Adam curry learnings
over the past 75 episodes. I would say the violation here is
the other rail you're not supposed to touch which is black
hair. I would say that was probably equally as offensive
as, as the so called black face episode.
And that was something I would never talk about on the show.
No,
I mean, we we have balls, but we're not stupid, right?
ain't stupid. But no, you hear the tone of the difference. Now
if it was somebody else, a politician of another ilk or
somebody or just saying if it was Meghan McCain that had the
the black face on it, we know it would it wouldn't have been
laughed off. No, he wouldn't have been you know, he wouldn't
be joy. Are you? Are you black? Black face? And then for her
even saying that? No, I didn't wear a black face only wore dark
makeup there portray myself as an African princess. That's not
black face?
Not at all.
When do we start giving these passes? And just to show you
this is not about just this particular group. I feel the
same way about the Democratic Party with the governor and the
former governor down in image in Virginia in my home state. He
got he got a pass on let me get. I don't think I ever told this
doesn't ever tell you their story. Now could tell that don't
work there no more. Did I ever tell you the story of the former
governor of Virginia? I don't think so. Okay, so Jim, I'll
make it very quick. So we're coming from the lunch room. Me
and my wife, me and one of my friends. I won't say his name
because he still works there. And we're coming down the hall
and we see these big black guy in a suit. And what the hell's
going on? You're saying like he's walking down the hallway.
And we're like you're saying and then we noticed he had an
earpiece? And we're like, Hold on Wait, who's here? Because
normally went to my politician or to my comms important current
VIP comes to the site. They like to let everybody know. Yeah, I
mean, not only that, but roll out the red carpet. Yeah, same
and standard attention. Yeah. Right. So here comes this secret
security guy coming down the hallway. And right behind him.
Here comes the governor. They had to sneak him in, because of
the heat from the blackface thing for him to see the new
building.
Oh, wow. Holy crap. Course.
How it works. It's like, he's like, not only I want to take
general you know, just be out in the general population. I just
want to come see, you know, the billion dollar addition you have
going on and get up out of here because I might have some it
wasn't
necessarily of course you have you. I'm sure your company was
extremely diverse. So that made me even worse. Yeah. Oh, my God,
what's the coward power?
Is I'm just showing you how all these things are strategic
strategically done to say, hey, you know, I got to come in
through the back door. Yeah. My black face made me come to the
back door. So I guess he had a little bit of experience of
being black.
Well, you know, and I believe and I believe that's because
they in their heart truly believe they are not racist. And
at the time when that occurred for this governor or when Joy
did it, and it could have been yesterday could have been two
two years ago. They still believe it was they had no
racist bone in their in their body and and therefore it wasn't
racist that that's the whole sick thing.
Once again, I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about
the double standard or Whoopi Goldberg Of course, and and
Sonny Halston and those people, I know, blackface is offensive.
It's offensive. Like that same thing with anti semitism. They
don't look at the party affiliation. No, it's like it's
cut and dry. Yeah. Here's the here's the here's the no nose.
And we don't care who does it. If you do it you're gonna have
to pay with us is like, Well, you did this now. Turn over the
page and see see the conditions? Oh, yeah. Let me let me see your
cookout, pass. cookout? You're good now?
You personally. Year, dude, your comedian you don't even know it?
You don't even know it. That's funny. Good riff.
Appreciate it. But that's what frustrates me about not about
the outside groups. It's the double standards inside the
group church, because that weekend, I appreciate how they
roll. Cuz it's like, your own code. If you ain't on code.
Yeah, shut up. They'll cancel their own. We don't care. Yeah.
So I'm talking about
but I'm sorry. But isn't that just exactly it? Isn't it then
if you know, black America's got to say hey, we're on cut, you
know, we got to have you on code to you don't do something right.
And they they got to cancel too hard.
And for the most part we are but the fact is they can roll out
that this is why the Boulay is so dangerous. It's not the
people on the ground. It's not the boots on the ground is
cosine. And this is the bigger always roll out a Blu ray member
to say, oh, no, no, like night joy. Sunny Halston, Brian, I get
that for you joy. Like she put the put her hands in our pockets
like whistle didn't look the other way. It's like a joy. You
know your own? Yes. I can't I can't step in. I. So that's my
whole point is is that it's not it's not a fair exchange.
But but it now do you feel this is specifically in the media,
predominantly in the media? Or is it the same across the board
in any organizational structure business? Otherwise?
I can't tell you because I have never been in these boardrooms
saying, Oh, maybe corporations and those kind of things. I can
only tell you what plays out in the public. So I can't that's
why I say if I if I answered that question, I didn't know
that I would actually be participating. Right? And you're
saying, uh, and stereotypes right? To say, Oh, yes. It's the
banks. And you know, and I'm not saying nothing. You only
discredit yourself, when you say, oh, it's the Jews. No, no,
this specific point out and like, that's why I'm being very,
I'm not being very careful here. Out of fear. I'm being very
careful here to be precise. So we can highlight the issue. You
know, because a lot of times people just jump straight to the
it's the Jews and it's like, come on, first of all, that's
offensive to the people that's on the ground and pro the Jews.
They're Jewish people that are pro Can you say Jews? I don't
know. But if Yeah, I think you can. Okay, I'm just making sure
on this on this
show. No, come on Mo and on this show we say blacks gays, Jews,
whites, it's fine.
I don't know what's acceptable cuz I don't don't do
everything everything and sharing everything and nothing
is acceptable. You can't, no one's gonna be it would never
get everybody happy.
No one know why I'm asking that is because I don't self censor
myself. So I'm not aware. I don't know what is acceptable or
not.
I as a as a Jew, adjacent, I guess I get to say it's
acceptable for this show.
Okay. So yes. So my whole point is that, you know, it's just
that when you do that and say blanket statements, you only
discredit yourself because there's people aren't like,
people, they're very fine people on both sides. What knows
actually, people just doing good work for Palestine is good for
people, you know, if you lean that way or the other way. And
one thing I want to point out is Ilhan Omar and we got to talk
about her for a minute because they use this same tactic
against her Yep, that you know anytime they need to reel her
back in he was saying they played it anti semitic card.
He's like hey, you but they don't never kill. Well,
that that in the you married your brother card. That's
another favorite.
Yeah.
I think that's that one's more entertaining. When they roll
that we're winning. She's smoking the cigarette. I love
that. That's cool.
Patchy hair. About give me counsel. Yeah, I'm working on
it. I see Let's see. So now we got to get to the remarks. Um
it's a teachable moments, I was a teachable moment you know. So
I just as a exercise I want to show power is supposed to be
done. When you have somebody to step, run a file or whatever,
you know thing is offensive. This is how they always use the
teachable moment number 12.
The history of the Holocaust has been part of the school
curriculums for decades. But how it is taught, and how much
Americans really know about the mass genocide of European Jews
and other minority groups has changed in recent years.
Concerns about that very issue were triggered this week by
remarks from Whoopi Goldberg, the comedian, actress and talk
show host made the comments Monday on ABC TV's view,
Goldberg and her co hosts were discussing a school district
book man on a graphic novel about the Holocaust mouse. Here
is some of what Goldberg initially said during her
conversation.
The Holocaust isn't about race. No, no, it's not about
you heard Sonny agree with her. Mm hmm. Did you hear that? I
mean, are you just mean Did you hear that? You heard it when
it's pointed out to you. But did you ever pay attention to that
before? No, never this conversation? No, of course
notice. No. Sonny agree with Whoopi. So that's that black
thing kicked me in first, like yep, yep. And she's like, well,
hold on. Hold. Wait, wait, you know, so pay attention to the
quick change that Sonny does.
I'm gonna roll it back just a tad more holistic,
graphic novel about the Holocaust mouse. Here is some of
what Goldberg initially said during her conversation.
The Holocaust isn't about race. No, no, it's not about race.
It's not about race.
Well, how if Sonny said No How come? Sonny doesn't get
canceled?
Because her husband?
She got the card. Mm hmm.
Educate she as she and she came to heal a heal. I keep that
happening. Yeah. She quickly like nah, Sheila. No, no, no,
wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Am I real? Quickly, and
let me start right here cuz you ask this question. And I got to
touch into this. This whole Whoopi thing. Me you talked
about the via text? What is her Whoopi thing aside? Because
Bobby knows. She knows. She knows you can't say this. And
then they brought it on the Colbert show that night. They
cleared her schedule brought her on, and she still stuck to her
guns. So I'm like, is this a psyop for something else to come
down the line. But you and
I discussed it in the context of Rogen, which was happening at
the same time?
Correct. So it's just like, huh, in fact,
I remember I remember what you said. You said Whoopi may be in
on this somehow on this Rogan thing?
Right? Because now you set the standard like all we got to
counsel people, you're saying we can't Whoopi? Yeah, you know,
cuz you'll see these things happen as a precursor. And I'm
not saying that um, this is just me speculating watching it
because it's like would be just a dumb thing to say, well, it's
not you know, you're absolutely right. Because now, every
cancellation not every but I hear a lot is. Well, Whoopi
Goldberg, you know, it's a it's a new measure in the line. It
says lightning would be Yeah, what about Whoopi is like, Oh,
hold on a second. That was the standard. And by the way, it
really sets up it really reestablishes the standard of
where Jews want to be seen in the entertainment narrative.
So I'm just I just found it weird that she stuck to her guns
even after the show. Yeah, and even on the Colbert show, cuz
I'm sure she got phone calls. If she was honestly saying this,
I'm sure her phone was ringing off the hook. A July like phone?
Yeah. I'm sorry. I got Rona man. It's like, a little slow today.
Oh, no problem. Oh, you
mean to Boulais? Phone? Mo Yeah, sure.
Not the different phone you know, so but yes. So I want to
say that her phone was off the hook was ringing off the hook.
Like you really want to stand on this. If she truly meant it. And
she probably would have corrected herself by how she
went on the Colbert show. But she didn't know which I just
found very strange. I mean, just just just just observing. Yeah.
I like it. We'll go back to that part. Okay, the Holocaust
isn't about race. No, no, it's not about race. No As a race,
but it's it's not about race. It's not about race, it's about
because it's about man's inhumanity to man. That's what
it's about.
Those remarks were widely condemned. And in response, a
number of experts detail the Nazis racism against Jews. The
next day, Goldberg invited the head of the anti Defamation
League on the program to explain the historical record. And she
apologized.
You know, what the, kind of the sad thing of all of this is, is
that we have a medical tyranny situation in the world right
now, which is extremely analogous to Germany 3133 34,
you know, getting set up for the Nazi party with othering, etc.
And, you know, we can't because of this, ultimately, you know,
this this conversation that's, that's taking place around this
particular incident is and Joe Rogan, etc. Deal. Meanwhile,
it's happening all over again, right in front of our face in
real time, you know what I'm saying? Right? But we can't see
that we can't see the problem.
Right. The way I look at Canada is the Charlotte view of the
world. You know, the high calling of Charlottesville kind
of set this scene? Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure. You know, it's kind
of like that for the whole world. Of anybody that's
thinking about doing this. You're gonna be you want to be
perceived this way.
Which is why all eyes on Canada?
Yes. Keep trucking it up, fellas. I'm so sure. So I guess
we can go in and get into 13
now, and she apologized. I said that the Holocaust wasn't about
race. And it was instead about man's inhumanity to man. But it
is indeed about race. Because Hitler and the Nazis considered
Jews to be an inferior race. Now words matter and mine are no
exception. I regret my comments, as I said, and I stand
corrected. I also stand with the Jewish people, as they know and
y'all know because I've always done that.
Afterward, ABC suspended Goldberg for two weeks. The
episode is raised larger questions, and we want to spend
a few minutes looking at those good Ethan Katz is the co
director of the Berkeley anti semitism education initiative.
And He's an associate professor of history and Jewish Studies at
UC Berkeley. Ethan Katz, welcome to the NewsHour. First of all,
what was your reaction to Whoopi Goldberg's initial comments that
the Holocaust was not about race?
Thank you for having me on the show. I mean, this was a
shocking thing for someone to say someone who is well
educated, someone who has many, many Jewish friends and has for
decades. And so the Holocaust was all about race, right? The
historical record of the Nazis is so clear that they thought
they were fighting a race war primarily against Jews also in
Slavs and Roma and other groups. And so to make this statement
reflects a tremendous lack of historical sort of basic
knowledge about the nature of the Holocaust, and also the
nature of anti semitism as primarily a racial hatred of
Jews because it sees Jews as a racial, biological group.
Okay.
So this he's Brian, this is normal. They have to bring in
somebody to educate you. Yes, yes. We saw this with Nick
Cannon. Nick Cannon, he was saying he had some guest on and
he kind of stepped on the third rail. He had apologized twice.
And he had to had to rabbis on the show to educate him. And
it's one thing I've missed. One point I wonder missed to make
because it's important to say clips, can you go back and just
play the first maybe 1015 seconds a clip number 12. I'm
sorry, I know. I know you had I kicked it out. But I want to
point out a point while you pulling it up. I want to point
out the parallel between West taught school for the Holocaust
and then compare that to CRT. Here we
go. The history of the Holocaust has been part of school
curriculums for decades, but how it is taught and how much
Americans really know about the mass genocide of European Jews
and other minority groups has changed in recent years.
You stopped right there. So the point notice CRT kicked out No,
no, no, no, no, for good reason. Because it's like from my side.
I'm glad I got kicked out because I don't want you to
teach my kids that they're inferior and victims. But CRT
get kicked out. But the Holocaust stays in. Right. And
it's been tough read notice. Certain groups are trying to get
CRT put in Holocaust already in there. He's always already baked
into part of your education in the public school system. Right?
But But
is it? Is it done as destructively as CRT?
No, it's taught from a different paradigm, not from the paradigm
of being a victim, right? paradigm of being weak survive,
right, which is being a survivor or being a victim is to total
deaths. No, no. Yes. So I'm just wanting to point that out when I
heard I was like, huh, so it CRT gets kicked out, you know, and
are railed against. But nobody ever says anything about taking
the Holocaust. out of out of
right. But it but if it was, it was presented in the victim
narrative than I think it would be, obviously.
So why don't you teach CRT from the paradigm? Well, of course,
of course. Once again, I understand it, but
but I don't hold your saying the Jewish people accountable. I
hold the Boulais accountable, because it's like whatever they
did, to get the power they have, obviously, it worked. I mean, we
can't deny it. It works. So you work closely what you're saying
with these coalition's not those two blueprint overs, like
whatever y'all did, let us get the blueprint, you know, and
then we can enact it so we can get whatever happened in America
slaving in taught from a paradigm of these kids are
survivors. Not the same way Jewish kids feel pride in their
parents being survivors of the Holocaust, not of victims of it.
Well, I'd like to remind you that I believe that all this
generational wealth we're dealing with came from a nice
handful of families who were who were at the Money Creation. Hmm.
It's only been 100 years really, when you think about it, most of
most of these families in the United States, at least. And and
so now you know, there's a new place where money's being
created, it's Bitcoin and I'll just keep saying I think that's
where black America should sit as close to the sources that as
possible.
Well, I'll let you know we always go back and forth on
this, which I'm not anti crypto, I want to make this clear.
I'm very specifically I'm specifically Bitcoin not crypto
when we pick Well,
we're okay. I'm not anti Bitcoin. But I want people to
understand the power that's behind the dollar. Um, and you
can see it being plant you brought up Canada. Yo, yo, the
world is gonna say, y'all, I mean, the y'all as the listeners
are seeing, Oh, crypto or Yeah, we want to get your hands around
that. It's funny. It's funding protest. It's funding problems.
Oh, yeah. We need to regulate that ASAP. Sure. Oh, this is
this is
not like they can I'm just saying not like they can. But
okay, it's nice for them to say that.
There's a difference. I don't I never doubt the power and magic
behind the dollar. And I mean, that literally, that $1 Bill
That's some heavy weight. Witchcraft going on in that
because you can flash that bad boy around the world and people
know I mean, even people in countries and civilizations that
have
not true that's true. And out the magic is not that magic. The
magic is the massive military that defends it.
Yeah, because if you look on one side it has the pure look on the
other side got an ego with a talent full of arrows that let
you know that's what's up. Wow, America, honestly, Nick and run
up the day all they want to and I mean, I I've never said this
on the show. But how America works is it's like the repo man.
You can run all the debt you want. But you can't come repo
these cars got got a house full of guns. Yeah, yeah. You're
saying so? China? Yeah, I bet 20 trillion, 30 trillion 50
trillion. And that's what they realize. Like, how you gonna
collect? Come get it? Yep. So I'm just saying that that's why
I'm not anti Bitcoin or crypto because I think it's a great
money. Big opportunity. And like you said, it's in transferring
money. Yeah, they can't control it. But when you get ready to
actually transfer it over to something you could spend.
They'll try their damnedest to do what I can't not gonna say
they're gonna be successful. But yeah, you see, we saw what they
did in Canada.
I know I hate mo I'm not saying I'm not saying it's easy. But
we've had revolutions before this is just a very long very
silent one that's taking place and I'm from the future so I'm
just letting you know. That's okay.
And I agree, I agree with you that you know, it we're on the
cusp of something very Wow, not in violent but just people
thinking differently. And that's why they're trying to get their
hands around it. Anything they can't control they try to
destroy, and hopefully people see, this is the this is why the
paranoia. Just thought from and I don't want to be like this
point, but just stop for a minute and savor this. And see
like how Justin Trudeau was rolling, and how the whole
situation playing out. And that's the what? The mentality
or the SIOP that people that I'll say, I can only speak for
me specifically, have lived under this, I, you know what,
you can't build it cuz they just gonna tear it up. But that's
what caused the victimization mentality, which that's why we
had to defeat it. And that's the whole point of this whole block.
And the show in general is that you can't No, just be a victim.
At the end of that you have to keep pushing for it. But on the
other side, this is a good way to empathize and see what what
it feels like to be on the bottom. Because this is this is
a this is about a moment right now.
Absolutely. And, and I think I see people realizing that, and,
yeah, we're seeing how to do roles. But there's a lot of
pushback, and it's, it's going to be very interesting to see
what happens. We know that there's only a few outcomes.
Someone's got to bleed. And we'll see. But it to me the most
amazing thing is Canada. Like, yeah, I will never make another
a or a bhoot joke again. Fuck those guys are badass. So we'll
see. We'll see what happens. But yeah, this is a everyone can be
at the bottom moment. This is the true get mo nation slavery's
what this is, it's unbelievable.
That's exactly what it is. And this one more No, is always be
cautious. That person is always smiling, the happy. Here's a new
ones you got to worry about. It's right. When they go, they
really go.
Yeah, I mean, it's and I know that people are just in
disbelief over what's happening. But it's really taking place.
It's it's phenomenal. This moment in history is really
fantastic. But the I think they really underestimate the
communication skills with the people.
And this is why they're trying to control you know, the
podcasts of black people. No black people, yes. Because once
you start getting in mass, just think if you had a large
contingent of black people in Canada out there, then you can't
deem it as far right? Or instant hate or that kind of thing,
right? When
the crowds too dark, then a lot of the tools start to wilt.
Right? So that's the point and this, just bring it back to
where we're at. That's why this is what you see here. So I guess
we started 13. Let's go and get into 14.
Now you can't change your race. Whereas, you know, people can
convert religiously, right? But the Nazis didn't care if you had
grown up Christian. If you had three or four Jewish
grandparents, you were Jewish, and you were supposed to be
annihilated.
I'm wondering do you think hats? How many people you think there
are out there who believe that the Holocaust was not only an
attempt to eliminate the Jews because of their religion, but
also because of their race? I'm asking because there was a poll
done. We know of just a couple of years ago showing a
surprisingly high number large percentage of young people aged
18 to 39, almost a quarter of them didn't have a clear memory
of what the Holocaust was about, what's your sense of the
public's understanding of office?
Right. So that study from the claims conference from the fall
of 2020 is very disturbing in terms of the numbers of people
who didn't know how many people were murdered in the Holocaust,
one in 10, under 40, had never heard the word Holocaust before
they said. So I think we are in a moment of diminished public
consciousness about the Holocaust, probably the 1990s,
with many anniversaries from World War Two, with the opening
growth of the Holocaust Museum, what the was perhaps the height
moment. And now we're in a moment where it is certainly
disturbing. And the problem is that you cannot understand the
nature of anti semitism without understanding that it was racial
from the beginning and that the Holocaust was about race and
that for American Jews today, their experience of anti
semitism is still profoundly shaped by that.
Wow, man, it would be it would be so much less irritating to
listen to that if they said and it's really important you learn
about the Holocaust and the plight of the Jews so that you
can recognize it's happening to everybody right now. You stupid
not nuts.
Yes, in this in this block, but I just want to make one more
point nobody Ever tells the Jewish community to get over?
No, like no, no, because no, they are quick to tell black
people was 400 years ago over it right? We still whining about
that. And then they'll go into textbooks and say, I think it
was he was saying like they're immigrants. They immigrated here
immigrants, I they're trying to even change the language of it's
almost kind of like becoming like slavery deniers of I, you
know, it was just immigration or it wasn't that bad. Get over it
now, let it go. But when you come this group, it's like, if
you want to say that, if someone will say, You know what, this
almost, almost 100 years ago, I used to harping on that, on
that, um, Holocaust thing. You wouldn't, you would get dragged
out the studio. If you were going to break and you come out
here and leave, they will drag you out kicking the screaming.
So that's my point is, this is what I've made that last and
final point of this blog to say, it's amazing, that we're told to
get over it is over and done. Even though you can look
1950 6070s You're saying these things still went on.
sharecropping went on slavery and and as another name in this
country, they're saying for many, many decades after the
official slavery, and we're told to get over it, but you know,
nobody else if you say that you are weak, you will be kidding me
like, a Holocaust denier is probably the lowest thing you
can be. But when you get that label on you, oh, it's a rat. I
mean, like, say it's no reasons to deny it, because it happened.
But my point is, if you were say, to get over it, like we're
told to get over it, cuz I even got, I've gotten letters that
people are saying when I talk about atonement, and so I want
to make it clear that I'm not asking for anything. You're
asking me for something. I'm just telling you the price of
it. Let's just to be clear, you want my vote. I understand what
my vote is worth. So I won't be swindled out. You won't get you
won't get me. Right. Um, yeah. So it's just amazing how that
happens in you know, so that's my block on block my block on
Whoopi? Um, so, anything you want to say before we go, thanks
for people?
No, I, you know, I think there's, there's obviously more
that will, that will learn and uncover in about this now. I
mean, what I what I now have is like, bang, okay, I got some
mess and realization, particularly when you said, you
hear how, what's your name? The lawyer, honey, sonny? Yeah, how
she how she jumped in right away and how she's that that's, that
was very interesting. And it's so hard, because I hate watching
that show. It's so annoying. But now I have to I got to pay
attention all that.
That was Rachel programming. And we can we can talk about it in
this whatever. We all have some degree of racial programming. So
her initial racial program was to agree it would be right as
her sister as her black sister. But then she you're saying like
no.
But that's my wrap on Whoopee. And in the first block of the
potlucks, I guess we could think some people now
yeah, this is this is a nice potluck indeed. And you're
stirring it up real good here firsthand,
right man and the black man have to be able to sit down at the
same table, the white man has to feel free to speak his mind
without hurting the feelings of that negro. And the so called
Negro has to feel free to speak in the mind without hurting the
feeling of the white man, then they can bring the issues that
are under the rug out on top of the table and take an
intelligent approach to get the problem solved.
That's the only way we'll ever do it. And it should be pretty
obvious that the conversation we're having here is not the
most commercial type of talk, we could we could choose to do. So
that makes it obviously very complicated. And the business
model is the one that we employ its value for value. That's the
only way that this can ever take place. For all of the reasons
that are aforementioned certainly in entertainment. But
in general, just the the mechanisms of turning off your
income or deep platforming, as most of you know, this is
something that probably, you know, if it makes it to YouTube
probably wouldn't last very long. Maybe it will. I don't
know that. That type of insecurity is is not viable. And
it means we're not free. So we are only free to speak by the
value that you return in our value for value model, which
means you got to just determine what this is worth to you and
put that Put it in a number and send it to us is that simple.
And, and I know MO You may want to say something about that,
because we really kicked up the value for value. We made it very
clear what this is for, you know, you're, you were squeezed
out of a livelihood and you decided not to be a victim to
kick into high gear and become an entrepreneur. And, and the
facts fam is coming out and supporting.
Yes, so I just want to parallel to the first block. They offered
me a contract, I didn't like the terms of the contract. So I
walked away from the contract, you know, so I didn't feel like
I got got. And I'm betting on myself. And the fact family
really showed up and showed out and went ham with it and
continue to expand. I hope they continue to do this because this
only reassures me that we're going down the right path and
the it's like it's no more you like you know, give me gas
money, but the quicker we can take off in this runway. Like I
said, we're on a short runway, but we just need to get the
speed up fast enough where we can have liftoff and it's it's
over from there. Once we get liftoff it's gonna be around
well,
the showing for for this for today's episode is really
humbling. It's really super cool to see the support that everyone
is is coming out to show and we start off with I think without a
doubt the biggest baller we've had
shot Carla 20 blades on I am Paula
This is Sir sorted out who comes in as our big baller and
executive producer was 123456 a number could not be more
favorite of mine $1,234.56 And Sir sorted out thank you so
much. That is highly appreciated. And that's his
note. Keep on pouring it on. That's it. I love that. Like big
baller and cool about it too. We also really have to sing
Benjamin Ellis, who supported more facts with Adam Curry was
$691.57 not to be called anything small at all. And
here's the note and overdue donation in an effort to write
the scales of value. So I'm talking about just becoming a
part of the facts family after Adams mentioned of moe on Rogan.
I've listened to every episode I'm incredibly grateful to both
of you for the education you provide and community you've
built this donation on behalf of my beautiful newborn daughter
Naomi Alexandra Alice born February 1 2020 to welcome new
human resource bursting into the world in under two hours. Whoa.
Now that's a rush release. Yeah, good baby. Yeah, you gotta you

gratitude to my smokin hot now fiance Alexandria. I did not

monkey wrench into my engagement plan for the tu tu tu tu you'll

oops sorry. Love stories like that. Okay, we have Hey, guys.
It's Sergei ninja from no agenda. Wow, this is a He sends
us $531.21 Fantastic. Sergei ninja writes last episode kicked
me to the core and made me cry. Wow. It reminded me of my father
and how he lost his business a few years ago before the Rona
and made him depressed for a couple years. He felt he failed
as a provider and leader in the family. He opened and closed
businesses many times but the last one was different because
he ran out of emergency money to start a new business. Little you
know, he forgot his biggest investment which is family. The
bankruptcy made us closer and showed true strength of our
family. We dealt with it and some of the children chipped in
to start a new business and his new new business is now better
than before. I also want to thank no agenda who broke the
spell on the road and in the beginning, I became the person
who applied for a new LLC, not PPP nor unemployment. Rahm
Emanuel said Never let a good crisis go to waste and be the
jack of all trade. While I'm willing to learn a new skill.
Turns out money is everywhere. If you open your eyes and mind
to it. entrepreneurialism is not easy money management and secret
pot of gold stashed somewhere are very important. Pay
attention Mo. You need a secret pod to go? Which somehow I think

product can't wait for you to set up a subscription service. I
need to rearrange my subscription. Sorry, Spotify. I

quick report from a white dude have the same birth years mo one
of the episodes Mo was talking about letting his wife know Hey,
you don't have to work we both don't need to deal with this
working thing. Adam was saying that white guys are like yeah,
go ahead and make money paraphrasing of course really?
Is that what I said? I guess so. I and I and several other white
dudes I know it would be more in most boat than Adams on that
matter. Maybe it's because of my experience growing up both in
church and just the way it was in my family. Maybe it's a
middle of the country thing Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, South
Dakota, but thank you for all for doing these shows. Really
enjoy the conversation and the thoughts from both of you from
Travis. Yeah. I mean, I grew up my parents worked. So I was a
latchkey kid. I guess that's where it comes from.

important job in the world. Getting a no doubt most
important job. Yeah, and they wear so many different hats so
mamas.

$240. It's a birthday donation in honor of my lovely nephew
Mason whose February 4 celebration mark his first
decade around the sun. It was this persistent inquiry about
BLM and racism that inspired me to seek for understanding. Most
first 60 episodes can be easily translated as study companions
for US History curriculum. Mason, I are working through the
third episode together. To Mason I say I wish you health heart
wisdom and prosperity. Build callus on your feet to tread
firmly the long road ahead, build muscles in your arms to
embrace those you love while leaving room for those who don't
build a resilient heart to withstand heart aches and all
the excitement that life will bring. Think with compassion and
feel with measured wisdom. Remember that pain is your
body's way of telling you to pay attention. So know thyself to
that you will learn to know others
ah. And I left it right there. That's Tiger Auntie right there

Tu, Tu, tu tu, we're a modern family, my sister adopted three
black girls. They're 2015 and 13 into her same sex marriage and
my gay brother. Well, let's just say he has a type. Thank you for
being so open everybody. In short, our lives are enriched by
long and meaningful relationships with people of all
types. I've tried to be a positive masculine role model
for my nieces. But I'm acutely aware that some lessons I can't
teach them. And sadly, they're all trapped in the political
binary R or D false choice. The Aman arbory shocked shocked my
being as he was not much older than my oldest niece. I felt
compelled to action, but only found the official narrative.
And then I found mo facts with Adam curry. Mo through this
work, you've provided me with invaluable knowledge to help me
understand the depths of the challenges that lay before my
family. I can't thank you enough for what you do. But someday, I
hope to make all of them. All of them part of the facts, family,
your strength and resilience are inspiring, keep doing the Lord's
work. And May these Angel numbers help you achieve.
He might have ran out of space, I
think so. help you achieve I'm going to finish it your dreams.
Yes. That's how I this is this is nice. And this is not an
uncommon note that we get from people in mixed families and my
understanding of of each other things and you just you can't
get it from. You can't access this kind of information and
experience easily. It doesn't seem to be in books.
It's the level of honesty that we're allowed to have with each
other. Be interesting. I think it's just people feel it
vicariously. Yes. And you know, and it makes drove back out to
you're saying in their personal lives
and it's infectious. Yes, it really is. Okay, Eric Adler

freedom. The best is yet to come. Absolutely. Elijah Heinz.
$200. Oh my goodness, this now this is value for value. Love
this. Elijah says thank you for the fantastic show. Thank you
for the value you place on Elijah. Alexander bt $200. Mo
back in October, I learned that my company was enforcing a
vaccine mandate. I'm a mobile dev dude named Ben. I love my
job. But no job is worth your dignity. I would rather quit and
find a company that respects my bodily autonomy. I won't take
the religious exemption which would make you test regularly
even if what the even if working from home. I don't consent to
letting my medical data being sampled and possibly used for
other purposes like files into my dossier for Global Medical
passports someday by some entity. Since then, I've been on
the job hunt in December, my company's parent company dropped
the mandate. So my company dropped ours. I'm still
interviewing just in case have have won this show day. In fact,
however, I'm single with no kids, unlike you, and now it
seems like my corporate job is safe, unlike yours. So
congratulations on becoming a full time podcaster a vow of
poverty. Sincerely, sir economic hitman. I made that part up. You
know, a wasn't gonna say he that's a very good point he
makes I read just today that the CDC and they're and they're
proud of this, they say hey, remember that PCR test you did?
It's possible that about 10% of all of those tests have been
given to scientists for genomic research.
They can't 23 amaze you so they had to give it another way.
I mean, that's infuriating.
And one more thing I want to point out this wasn't hubris
this was about my dignity and if you don't have that in any
situation then you can't you know you're never be the same if
you if you compromise that that's right that I'm glad he
pointed out in his letter it's all about your dignity. That's
right.
Gosh, this is such a good segment I love this.
This man read us on these boats many almost made me Van Jones

valuable to the show to hear that. Collin Preston $100 mo as
a fellow entrepreneur, I can assure you that being liberated
from your old job is one of the best things that will ever
happen to you. 10 years from now, you will reflect back on
this as being a blessing in disguise. Hold your head high
and take great pride in being self employed, it's a lot easier
to punch a clock. If you keep doing what you do so well then
doors will always open for you. Absolutely.
And that is a whole fat right there. Because there is no
weekday or weekend anymore is every day is a work day, every
day. But I enjoy that I enjoy and I don't know what that is
you never worked hard and you work for yourself.
That's right. And I personally find it that I've never enjoyed
working as much myself. I'm a great boss to myself, I really
am. I give myself a lot of free time.
I'm a terrible boss to myself, Oh, you'll
learn, you'll learn, you'll learn you'll get there. And by

The Washington Examiner reporting that the Black Lives
Matter organization is halting online fundraising, after facing
scrutiny for missing financial records. The California
Department of Justice threatening to hold the
foundation's leaders personally liable if they fail to disclose
details of the $60 million in donations that it received in
the next two months. Here now is Andrew Kerr, Washington
Examiner, investigative reporter. Incredible work,
Andrew, what do you know right now about these developments,
right. So Black Lives Matter is a is a public charity. That
means that they have an obligation to disclose your
basic information about their finances to the public
information about their leadership and your information
about where they actually reside. And Black Lives Matter
has provided none of that information, information on
their 2020 finances a year in which they closed that with 60
million in their bank accounts, is months late. We tried to go
to their Los Angeles address my colleague did last week and was
told by a security guard that Black Lives Matter has never had
an office here. And we constantly get packages that we
have to read for black lives matter that we have to return
back to sender, and their board members won't disclose who has
been in charge of the charity for the past eight months, when
its former co founder, or when his co founder Patrisse Cullors.
left the organization last May amid scrutiny over her own
personal real estate purchase purchases. She appointed two co
executive directors to lead the organization. But they quietly
announced in September that we're not taking the job because
we can't come to an agreement with Black Lives Matter.
Whoa, gee, who could have seen that coming?
God,
I mean, seriously, that is so surprising.
It isn't even amazing how you can transact that much cash and
operate for this long I mean, they've been operating now for
it since 2014 15. Yeah. Official on the books were in 2022 and
all of a sudden now you want we want to talk about money who's
in charge that kind of thing? This is what I would call it
weight burning when you burn somebody. Yeah, they're they're
burning their agents of course. What this is this is the thing
you didn't really you didn't know how this was gonna go. I
mean, throughout all of history. I'm talking to the incident
members of Black Lives Matter leadership. You didn't know you
didn't see how this was gonna go
unbelievable. I mean, and it's corporate money to buy Coca Cola
and Papa money
much better. Yeah. So my point is one if you're so
knowledgeable and black history and revolutionary tactics, you
got to notice as part of it that's what they call breaking
their tools. You know, once they you know, they're done they're
done with them. Yeah. So now is these three women were the you
know, the blame for everything that happened in black lives
matter. But no matter how, how I disagree with their tactics and
their ideology, I will not stand aside and let him take the blame
all alone. No, we should be. Right, that would be
disingenuous. That's,
that's the same as blaming Dr. Dre and Snoop and all them guys
without talking about.
Now you're starting to see the truth. I mean, of course you saw
but it's the connective tissue between these blocks on the
potluck. But just to remind people that may have forgotten.
We're gonna go over to Dave Pakman. This is from Episode
Seven, about about who was really funding Black Lives
Matter. And
I have a very, very specific idea that we need to explore
seriously, which is that the anti Bernie Sanders tinge of the
Black Lives Matter movement recently could be George Soros
funded astroturf, and I will speak as specifically as
possible, Louis, and then I will allow you, Louis to tell me what
you think about this. It's widely on record, that George
Soros, the liberal billionaire has poured a ton of money into
two movements that were instrumental in creating Black
Lives Matter and the buzzword dating back to January, we knew
that George Soros spent over $30 million bankrolling Ferguson
demonstrators and of course, Ferguson relates to Officer
Darren Wilson, who killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown
and was ultimately not charged. This includes support by George
Soros of groups like color lines, news for action, an
organization for black struggle, which established itself then
established the hands up coalition. Soros also gave money
to the Drug Policy Alliance, which worked on pushing Black
Lives Matter as a bud buzzword, which has since been
incorporated into speech speeches by political figures,
including Hillary Clinton.
Mm hmm. So just remember, you know, we're not gonna let these
three sisters twist in the wind, every day of criminal cases are
going to come down and just tying into the first block. You
remember anytime you mentioned the worst Soros Yeah, it was
anti semitic. Now, that's why I use the clip from Mr. David
Pakman. Because he was born to us nightsky Fs I can't say that
Eskenazi Ashkenazi Jewish family.
So how does that work?
You let me know how that went. And that's why we can't paint
with a wide brush either. Yeah, that's why be specific to who
you're talking about. Because we have people pointing out things
and bringing things to attention. But we saw on Fox
News, I thought, right, they ran somebody off the air live.
Right. You can't you can't say soil.
Right, right, right.
I can't find I can't remember who's standing
on the clue was that it was sure it was Fox.
It was Fox. It was definitely Fox. Cuz you know, I was gonna
say Soros. I mean, we know that to be false. But I think it was
a was it the mayor? Was it the mayor of New York? The former
mayor of New York
was is this from real Bill O'Reilly days?
I don't it was, it was recent enough that we were doing the
show. Um, I remember that. But I'm just saying, even the
What's this? What's this? There was something on Fox News
yesterday with Newt Gingrich that got a
lot of Yes, it was Newt Gingrich. I'm not gonna comment
on the Fox News
personnel there. I'm gonna tell you. The George Soros has
donated seven, you have the clip seven people on
Thursday doesn't have the clip anyway. Yeah, it was Newt
Gingrich, who said that he brought up George Soros in
relation to it, and they and they and like, Okay, what you
can't say that click boom by.
So I'm just showing you how that works. As far as I mean, not you
but the audience how that works. But then we have de Patman over
here, saying that Soros was funding Black Lives Matter,
right. So the scrutiny needs to go all the way to the top there
fish rots in the head. So let's go ahead and get into the second
part of this clip. About scrutiny.
So amid all of this, the state of Washington and California
have recently notified, black lives matter that, hey, if you
guys want to operate in our state, then you need to submit
your financial information until you do so you're not to solicit
any contributions from citizens of our state. Washington warned
black lives matter in a letter A few weeks ago that you can face
fines up to $2,000 per violation. And California said
that we will hold the leaders and everybody that's in charge
of solicitation at Black Lives Matter personally accountable.
If if you don't submit your records within 60 days. So
yesterday, Black Lives Matter. Took the extraordinary step and
they announced that you know we're gonna pause all online
fundraising as we get our registration issues sorted out,
but this is some breaking news from just before I came on air,
it turns out that black lives matter is still accepting
donations from their active blue donation pages. They told me
just before we came on the air that, you know, these are not
active fundraising pages, you know, these are former
fundraising pages, which doesn't really make sense because they,
you know, I was able to pitch $1 to Black Lives Matter, proving
that they're still actively accepting contributions, despite
their statement yesterday that they're no longer going to be
soliciting funds online.
So you can see, I'm just trying to figure out how do you collect
that much money and know how your paperwork in order and
allow to do business for that loan? And it didn't raise any
red flags. But now that it's over, you're done with them?
Yeah, it's kind of ran its course they've you know, they've
been burned. You know, whenever you say black lives matter,
people notice the scam now. Yeah, we're talking about Black
Lives Matter ain't let me be clear. Let me clarify for the
new listeners. Um, we're talking about Black Lives Matter, Inc.
That's the corporate wing of it, you know, that was taking money
and not the people on the ground, you know, protesting or
fighting for black lives and on a very grassroots level. But I
noticed now, they're doing I don't know if it's gonna be the
new group. But they're using this language of what was it?
It's not Black Lives Matter is what slipped my mind. It was
something for black lives. Is something is, man, but they
don't use black lives matter anymore. It's me, man. That's
totally something. But it's still tied to at Blue. Let let
Oh, no, of course. Through the text, you were saying to do a
curry cash check on this really? Is something for black lives?
Well, I'll talk about in a future show but agenda. No, no,
no, no, it's a, I don't want to drag it out. Okay, basically,
they have another kind of like, shell game going on, which it
has black lives in it. But it does not black lives matter. So
I think they're going to start pivoting to that. So
who do you think they is? In this case?
It's the same, it's gonna anything's the same. Right? A
shadow organization, they just find new patsies to take the
blame. Yeah. And like I said, these women got in over their
head, they got a celebrity got the they got the fame that went
along with it. All the you know, highlights and given all kinds
of juice, praise, but I didn't understand the other shoe that
was gonna, it was gonna drop now. So my thing is, if we're
gonna take them now, which I mean, I think ridicule is
enough. Yes. But if you're gonna take them down, then we need a
RICO case, we need to go into the tall. Okay,
what's known as Rico. It's a short for racketeering
influence, corrupt organization. Any organization that is acting
with illegal has illegal activities from a regular
corporation, Wall Street Corporation, two gangs can be
prosecuted under the RICO Act. In order to be prosecuted under
the RICO Act, the prosecutors have to there's different levels
and different thing, different elements that the government has
to prove. When it comes to prosecutions of Rico, however,
generally, the prosecutor has to prove at least two or three
separate acts that the corporation is committing that
are illegal. So for example, when you are prosecuting a gang,
a street gang with Rico, prosecutors usually would show
that that gang is dealing with drugs and committing murders.
That would be enough to prove a RICO depends on again, how what
statute section under the RICO act, you are being prosecuted
under. Sometimes the prosecutor has to prove specifically those
acts. And sometimes they can just generally prove certain
acts and when the jury finds when the jury deliberates, they
don't really have to specifically tell or vote on A
certain act, they can just in general say yes, we find that
the the prosecutor prove that at least two acts are illegal.
Yeah. So we got we're gonna get them. It's my best chance to
Soros. Yeah. Good luck with that. No Rico cases. We've seen
on tape now big fish before. And connective tissue. Obviously
they patent pointed out there's there's let me be optimist Adam
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, I have little faith in most institutions, I
would say justice is probably one I have the least faith in
right now.
And the name of the group is the movement for black lives.
All right, cool. Right.
I was reading this article, and they kept talking about the
movement for black lives. I've never heard this group before.
So their website is M for bl.org. That's right. I remember
when you when you go click on the donate button, of course,
you know where it goes at Blue. So I think this is going to be
the new Cheryl corporation because they use the same yellow
and black on their website that we pointed out that was used in
Black Lives Matter. Street painting. Mm hmm. It's the same
color, everything. But yeah, it's the movement for black
lives. And I think this is going to be their new shell company.
Shell organization that they operate out of this group,
whoever the shadow group is, they saw what happened in 2020.
They went to woke with the sand trying to get rid of the black
man. I'm seeing now that the Democratic Party is saying
trying to get some black man to, you know, played a role for
them. In politics. I'll be bringing up some names here
shortly. But um, yeah, so I think if they're gonna go down,
do they have to? They have spokes holes? Do they have new
spokes models here for
corbeil? No, it's not yet. It's just, but it's called power down
their website says power black power rising 2024. So you see
what they're setting up for? And I think like, say they went to
woke. And they're like, Well, when we went that far, we
shifted the, you know, we went outside the scope of what people
are willing to follow. We were saying, when we start reading
the literature, what Black Lives Matter was about and they're,
they're probably going to try to correct from that, and then pick
up from where they left off it. But I have this clip, because
what brought this to my attention, even before the $60
million thing came out Patrisse Cullors has been left the group
as stated before, Oh, yeah. But she was on with Jamil Hill. And
I was like, how long is this? Oh, video? I mean, like, why is
she talking about why she left again? So she's back around
doing around again, like trying to say, I ain't got nothing to
do with this.
Damage Control? Right, she
tried to clear her name. So, um, this is the next clip where her
and Jamil Hill
last May though you made the decision that you were going to
step down from the Black Lives Matter global network
foundation,
you said it was the right time? What made it the right time?
You know, I had been in BLM since the very beginning,
obviously, for eight years when the last co founders who were
really was there to help build infrastructure and an usher in
honestly a new decade for BLM. I was I was ready it was I
personally was ready to evolve into a next role and next
position, not necessarily for like a nonprofit, but in my life
to make some money.
But, you know, seven months out, I will be honest with you, it
was also because of right wing attacks. Oh, I was thinking
about my child, I really thought that I was gonna die. I thought
you know, I had received multiple calls from the FBI that
there were credible threats against my life and I had to
just really sit back and make a decision like what what is my
what's my best role in this movement? Is it a dead tree? So
in a live bitchface and I said it was me being alive here to
see my child grow up. So many, you know, young, so many people
who lost their parents to white supremacist and didn't get to
grow up with their parents. I'm more than just a movement
leader. I'm also a mother.
No, no, no, no, no, no. No, we're like that. Cuz you can't
let the patriarchy run you all right. Not the front line of
fighting for your saying, uh, you know, all things, you know,
liberation.
Hey, whatever happened to the two Do Marxist trainers slash
kind of managers of their older, older likes in their 70s? Jews?
Which one? Which one are you talking about? Ah, it's
like an old dude, an old woman and they were also involved in
the actual 5013 C. This goes back a while for a little bit
there was a blip. Were like, Hey, hold on a second. This is
like, classic classic Marxist been doing this shit forever.
Right cuz that's when the whole Marxist Yeah, yeah, everybody
started doing their homework. And yeah, you know,
just interesting that they were both Jewish. Hello.
You saying about? You're saying they go to the workers. It never
goes up? No, it stops at the workers, right? This is the
Superbowl halftime show all over again. It stops with Patrice
colors, right? I understand her two buddies set up to run a
billion dollar scheme made all style and they were the only
ones that did it. Yeah. This this is how it works. It's like
no, it doesn't work like that. You know, but as far as you
don't get this kind of money and Corporation buy in just remote
three people that we never heard before. And to you No,
no, no, no, no, no, there were there were some professional
fundraising going on. This was this was well organized. Well
done.
Yeah. And they're 2020s over 2022 They're like, they're not
really valuable to us anymore. Oh, I mean, it had a stench on
them every time they come out. Like all those the marches,
girls, just kind of thing. I mean, that's what people's
reaction or in certain circles,
unless, unless unless Patrisse Cullors can get a hit on with
her Netflix deal if she can get a real hit out of that, which I
did doubt that could rekindle her. But I don't see that
happening.
This what she's trying to do, but I mean, all of these people
are done. Calpurnia is out with the old in with the new and this
is how it works.
And by the way, Jay Z's got to know that one of these days he's
gonna be out to
oh, he already had his pancake moment. pounds cake. Take
moment, Bill Cosby thing. Um, I've said this before on the
show, I mean, in passing, but when he made that deal when the
NFL, that was his poundcake moment, it's
Can you explain the pancake moment? Again, I don't remember.
So when Bill Cosby came out and was like route railing on black
people, that's kind of when he lost the noose and the black
support? Was I pull up your pants right now we're killing
each other. We're poundcake. That CO. So that's why when they
came for him, he had no support. And it's funny that you say that
because and this is how I found out about the movement for black
lives. Because there was an article right after the
Superbowl talking about Jay Z basically sold out and it was in
the route. Author from the roots and what do we really get for
Jay Z are saying it was good for Jay Z, but it wasn't good for
us. So that's what I start seeing them say the movement for
black lives. And I thought they were just doing some wordplay.
But no, it's actually an organization. That's
so that's kind of interesting. Did was there a general
expectation that, hey, these guys, they finally got the
power. They're going to do the halftime show. They're gonna do
something great. Was there an expectation that Jay Z and the
crew there would do that?
He was poster brain. He was post to how I'm gonna put this. He
was pole was supposed to, right? No, I know, the whole reason was
what kept when it was fighting for it. That was the expectation
like Kaepernick, right. So Jay Z, he'll come in, and he'll do
something transformative in there in NFL, but Jay Z saw as
he grifted, the Grifters. He was, he was like, I'm going to
take your grift and I'm going to use this to position myself for
ownership in the NFL. Right. And when he did that everybody on
the grass roots was like, I mean, for black lives matter was
like, oh, Jay Z is a grifter. And that's why I said when they
do cover him, he won't have that support. Right away with Bill
Cosby, how everybody kind of threw their hands up was like
you can have you know, it's not meaningful to us. So yeah, that
was that was I think the NFL thing was his power was,
was there something that you think he could have done? That
would have been the right thing to do?
No, it's not.
There's nothing I could have done. Right. The grift. The
whole show was the grift.
It was the pret he kind of wasn't a pressure relief valve
for the NFL.
Oh, no. I know. I know. I know what the point of him doing that
was
not what I'm saying is that he was that that's the point of it
so he wouldn't have been functional or regardless. Any
other There isn't any other way. Right? I got, you know, so it
was no way he could what he wanted to do was kind of like,
no, thread the needle and say, you know, I'm doing it for the
culture, you know, kind of like, oh, we'll give you a halftime
show. And the funny thing was even then, he had to do the
Latinos first. He can't come in and do a black halftime show.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. He had to do the Shakira
Oh, right. That was his he did that one first. Right? They're
like Jay No, no, be crazy. Yeah. He's into it. Now he's into ease
into
it. So yeah. So when I say all this to say that all these
things are strategic. And that leads me to the theorem Emoni
moment now. So you need me to
actively play along with this thank you do
for this block. So why he's grabbing his instrument. There's
a recent case where a former Black Lives Matter activist went
in and shot a mirror or mayoral candidate. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
this
was great. Wait, wait
All right. So when I see this, it makes you think, Oh, this is
this is the total stepping away from Black Lives Matter? We
gotta have a black violet man come in.
Yes. Yes. A
Jewish Mayor
he up and and in the media ate that shit right up.
Right so this is them stepping away from the whole Black Lives
Matter thing and they gotta say where they're toxic now. See,
now they're toxic and
they and they have to take a black man to do it. It's
unbelievable. How how do they get him so crazy to do this?
Well, we're gonna get into that right. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I
gotta have my goggles on. Let me make sure they're on tight mo
horns.
Like breaking tonight. A local activist is charged with the
attempted murder of a local mayoral candidate police
have identified 21 year old Quinn's has brown is the man who
fired shots at Craig Greenberg and his staff earlier today. Why
is Shaquille Lord His reaction tonight? He's live at Metro
corrections with the latest Shaq.
Vicki as you mentioned, he is an activist. He's a former
columnist and even had his eyes set on running for global Metro
council district five. But tonight the 21 year old ish is
charged with attempted murder and is behind bars here at Metro
corrections.
The democratic process is that we as individuals go into the
ballot box and vote for who we want. We don't kill candidates
so that other people can vote for them.
Strong words from Metro Council President David James it comes
after finding out former local columnist Quintus Brown was
identified as the man who police say try to kill Louisville
mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg,
all of us are blessed. And I'm blessed to be standing here
today with you.
So I'm thinking serasa Ron, I think I pronounce his name. Sir
hon. Sir Hassan. Yes. I'm thinking we got some action like
this going on.
It's gotta be this. This is. I mean, it's so perfect for him to
be doing this.
Right. Right. In Louisville. Right. Well, that was episode
one of the whole Briana Taylor case. Yeah. And the hotbed for
2020 Ah,
goodness. So
yeah. This August security. Yeah. And takes a shot two shots
at the guy and it hits a sweater.
Yeah. And that's another beauty.
That doesn't make any sense. And then it's Dubin anti gun. It
just didn't make no sense the whole story. So I'm like when
I'm starting to look at this. I'm like, this stinks. But it
starts to bring things back into my mind but I'm like, Well, hold
on Whoa. You know, interesting Hold on You gotta you gotta use
and you just easy, easier. They can jump out the window with you
know how these rabbit holes are. So I stopped listening to the
story more 24
around 10. This morning, officers responded to
Greenberg's campaign headquarters and purchase him
market for report of an active aggressor. Police say Brown
entered Greenberg's office and fired several shots at him just
grazing his sweater. Neither Greenberg nor his four staff
members were injured physically. Hours after the shooting.
Greenberg says he's still trying to grasp what happened.
I'm shaken up. It was a surreal experience and mostly right now.
I just want to get home to my wife and sons and give them a
hug.
He says thanks to the quick thinking of his staff. They were
able to barricade themselves in the individual
closest to the door. Manage To briefly get the door shut, we
barricaded the door and the suspect fled. Brown was
well known for being a constant presence during social unrest in
Louisville during 2020. While there are more questions than
answers at this point, James says Greenberg and others are
blessed to be able to walk away.
I'm just thankful that that the staff and Craig Greenberg are
alive and well,
no addition. In addition to attempted murder, Brown is also
facing four counts of wanton endangerment he's scheduled to
appear before Judge tomorrow morning.
I have a nice social unrest instead of BLM protests social
unrest Yes,
it's gaining steam in what was weird is he came into two shots
of several shots, but some counts was too they said several
in this in this in this story, the story and then they bombard
it in a barricaded the door I don't understand how this works
like he came in shot at you. And then your style barricaded the
door like this the sequences off to me
there's yeah this is this is indeed highly sketchy.
He says Paopao Graves is your sweat accuser cardigan. He was a
man
but even that man I've never seen seen it like that. Just
just I mean that's lucky, right?
Yeah, I don't understand. If and then the way they put it like
grazie sweater. It's like I don't know why it just didn't
make any sense. But it was starting to make sense was
before this happened. He went missing. Oh, really?
Oh crap.
I'm missing. 20 year old college student has an entire community
hoping for his safe return
says We love you. And until we find this young man, we're gonna
continue as community to come together and make sure that this
young man is found safe and not in harm's way. Thank you
everyone for coming out. I know you often have some fliers in
your
hand and Quint has Brown has not been seen since June 19. And his
family and friends and the University of Louisville are all
searching for him
when chance is a born leader. I know I met him his freshman year
in high school. And immediately when I met him I new this young
man had a gift to serve in his community.
He's known as an activist for police reform and civil rights
and has contributed as an opinion writer for The
Louisville courier journal Quintessa his father and
stepmother expressed during a virtual press conference. Though
he has no history of mental illness, they feel contest,
maybe in a mental health crisis,
or know what he's going through. But this is not like him. He's
not that type of kid. He's a great kid. He's a great young
man. And I just feel like he's in a bad place that he needs his
father and his mom at love.
Quintus Brown is five foot 10 inches about 180 pounds with
tattoos on his upper arms and chest. His family says he shaved
his head and beard the day before he went missing. And
authority say his credit card was last used at a grocery store
near the University of Louisville campus on June 19.
He's all about community is all about happy, he's all about
change. He's willing to do whatever we can for the next
person. So I asked everybody to come together as he would and
try to find him.
Quint has Browns family and friends now ask for any tips
that may lead to finding him
while he was missing since June of last year.
So he go yet goes missing shapes had no history of mental illness
and disappears into university. Go cozy as an anti gun
nonviolent activist and comes back you're saying a straight up
take your shots at politicians. Dude. Saying he MK
Yeah, but but I'm pissed because it's a damn COVID I'm telling
you I was watching the story come by and and the most obvious
part of it. I mean first I'm like, Oh man, but but that it
was a man that's what i That was the big tip off that I was just
wasn't wasn't clicking for me like, Oh my goodness. This is
totally burnt burning everything.
They're burning the whole operation, the whole
thing and right down to the cultural core.
And you know how hard it is to disappear nowadays? I mean, you
had to have
no keynote. No, no devices, nothing.
No devices, no nothing. It's like somebody may use you can
there's
cameras everywhere. There's ring cameras. That's why you had to
change his appearance.
If this is complete speculation, but what Rahway before a minute,
they called him in. They called it they called it up in there
saying they twisted the screws in his head and they put him
back out there. How do you disappear right into the
university? I mean, this is Louisville. This is this is a
major city. No cameras, no nothing just disappear. And no.
Fox News took that bait and chomped it up. Hotline and say
Yes, sir.
Put line and sinker and now is bad black people are taking
shots at politicians.
Yeah. And it's black man. Of course. Of course so sick, sick
cousin, but you remember what's the other guy's name a hawk or
whatever. I called him Hall. What was his name? I think he
went he went every time they wanted a black violet man.
Right, right. Roll him out. Yeah, we'll get in blood. And
we're just talking crazy. So this is just I think
speculating. You know, cuz this is kind of like end of the show
kind of stuff. But it seems like this is too convenient. This is
took him so it started made me think we did a show about this
kind of right? Show 31. And that was Gabby Eugene, long three
names, of course. Number 20. Number 26.
First off self preservation. The first law of nature is the same
thing. Same way as when America they put you on a mainstream
they put on the mainstream media that is a new tyrant, a new
enemy. And they go and physically do an assault on that
country is the same thing. And it's the same way how when I was
in the Marines, I went in fall, you know what? United States
because there was a so called enemy. So it's no other that is
not different from someone fighting against you and
assaulting you and you protecting yourself is the same
way. There's nothing wrong with it. You got the right to defend
yourself at any moment. If someone is assaulting you, and
gang stalking is an assault on you physically, mentally,
spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. So you got to
write to defend yourself at any moment. You got to write to
preserve Yes. To preserve your life at any moment you choose.
And you're gonna be right. Man,
you think they got some kind of MK Ultra dungeon? They're at the
University in Louisville. I do think so. I mean, that's where
that's where Ted Kaczynski got his programming. University. You
can't. Yeah, exactly. And you disappears near the universe.
Yeah. And for people that didn't know who that was talking, that
was Gavin. Gavin Eugene, long. He was the Baltimore cop killer.
That yeah, the Baton Rouge cop.
Give me the Baltimore Baton Rouge cop killer. And he this is
him on his YouTube video, talking about how he was gang,
stop, stop. And for people that don't know who what gang stalked
is, that is when they take several different people follow
you around moving stuff around the house. Total manipulation on
the mind, to the point where it makes you crazy. And now we have
this man here, no history of mental illness. All of a sudden,
he shaves his head, shaved his hair off and just disappears
into your saying into the ether around the university. And then
he pops back up there saying gun wielding a tip that assassin
crazy. That doesn't make any sense. But we saw this in 2016.
This is how they took the pressure off with Black Lives
Matter the first time. They had the two shootings, one in Dallas
one in Baton Rouge. And then they went underground until
2020. I think this is a similar case. Wow. So I could watch Yes.
If you want to hear more from I got another clip from Gavin
Eugene long if you like to hear it. Sure.
I follow nature. I'm in tune with nature. Nowhere in nature,
you go see a goddamn lion protest and when a gang guy has
come to attack his ass, he will be peaceful protest and holding
up signs. You're not gonna see it in nature anywhere. Because
self preservation is the first law of nature. Every animal in
nature. I know human beings are not animals. But you have the
right to preserve yourself. You can choose to or you can you
don't have to fight that. That's that's the difference between
human beings and animals. You have the choice, you see. But if
you choose the fight back there are no consequences. So that's
that's the difference. So a lot of teachers don't even know that
harassment is a felony. stalking with harassment is a damn
felony. That's a felony charge. You definitely have the right to
defend yourself. And if someone is and you know gang stalking is
they're trying to attempt you. They're trying to make you
attempt suicide. That's attempted murder. If someone is
trying to tempt you to force to force you into suicide, isn't
that attempted murder? Come on now. Let's open our eyes. Get it
together eight. Defend yourself at all costs. Stand in your
righteousness. Die in your righteousness period.
Yeah, yeah, Nim bring up. I have to bring up the Navy. First.
Naval Yard shooter. Yes. Gosh, St. St. Mo. Yeah, hearing
voices. What was that? Well, he actually wrote a shotgun on me.
And man for something like a electromagnetic frequency and
EMP excuse me EMP. He actually wrote that on the shotguns which
a hotel room like three or four times that night, trying to get
away from the voices. So I mean, this is not far. I know. It
sounds crazy for the
listeners, you know, you know me. I'm all in on that. Mo. I'm
good with the directed energy weapons. You bet.
So now all of a sudden this guy just comes in and pop shots at
the candidate for mayor. It doesn't make any sense. Right.
And like you said Fox News at the hook. Like hook line and
sinker. Yeah. Big time. So that mean, that's a little. We had to
give people some theorem action. So yeah,
they got it. They got it.
Now I have a mini block I want to get into. Okay. And this is a
recent news and this is Joe Biden nominated black woman for
Supreme Court. Talk about it. Yes,
that's right. Check. The White House today declined to discuss
the upcoming vacancy but said President Biden stands by that
campaign pledge to nominate a black woman to a lifetime
appointment on the Supreme Court and pointed to the diversity of
judicial nominees. The President has already installed on the
federal bench. Does the President believe that the
current makeup of the court accurately reflects America's
demographics
he has nominated a historic number of judges who are people
of color, a historic I don't know if it's a stark number of
women, but a majority of the judges he is nominated are
women. That speaks to His desire and his interest and having
courts around the country that look like America and that
represent the experiences of America.
President Biden has nominated 62 women to the federal judiciary,
including 19 black women. Possible replacements for
Justice Breyer, according to NBC News include judge Hitachi brown
Jackson, whom the president interviewed personally for her
position on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, seen by some as a
farm League for the high court and California Supreme Court
Justice Leandro Krueger, South Carolina Democrat and key Biden
ally Jim Clyburn has back to judge Michelle child's from his
home state to fill the vacancy, any appointment would come at an
inflection point for Mr. Biden a potentially legacy defining pick
after a series of policy defeats, and before that
consequential midterm election that could cost Democrats their
majority. President Biden's own experience with these
nominations runs deep chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee
for eight years, and witnessing firsthand the protracted failed
confirmation of Judge Merrick Garland in 2016. As to whether
all 50 Democrats would unite behind the President's pick,
today, the press secretary told me that's the hope.
Yeah, that's the hope, the hope, yes, that's the they are really
setting and building
an excuse. Yeah, they may not be able to find a suitable
candidate.
Well, no, it's gonna be the white supremacist Democrats.
It's gonna keep you know, when you hear that, it's like, oh, we
need all the Democratic votes. Now. We know. They've struggled
to get all the Democrats on board for anything almost. Yeah.
Was it mentioned and what's the other one? Right, there have
been the white supremacist and not my words. That's what other
Democrats are calling them right? Because they didn't vote
for whatever they want them to vote. So I think that's that
they're going to be the built in reason for him not doing it now.
But I don't think it's gonna happen. But if if it was to
happen, I think it's interesting. I know who I think
I know who's gonna win. But before we say that, this is no
surprise. We knew they're trying to get the Supreme Court justice
in black women, because they put that whole Washington Post
thing. Remember, you always Joe Biden, right. Yeah. That made
their list of demands then. But it's funny that 62 women were
nominated. And this the numbers are based at 19. Roland Martin
said eight eight black women under 62. Roland Martin has 24
black people were nominated and 24 Only eight were women. So
it's like twice as many black men got it, and then it had to
make any oath or pledge. I find it interesting. Yeah, yeah. So
these numbers, these numbers are funny. So that's, I don't think
they're gonna get it. Just because it's a mess there. Hope
this should be a slam dunk. I mean, this should be, um, you
know, all the all the Democrats should be on the same side. Now
this leads to before I get into who I think is going to win.
This, I think they learned from Trump to say, if we get what we
give them what they want, they might not show up in 2024.
Right. We got to keep them engaged until after 2024.
Because if you wanted to give him saying you will pull
everybody into the room you say all the Democrats say you got to
vote, please. Where they learn from Trump my theory. Oh, that
really messed trump up. Yeah. When he gave the Republicans
their their that third justice like, thanks. Now I don't need
you. Right. So I think Joe Biden understands that and he's gonna
be like, well, we've tried but you know, and I think that's why
he harped on matching and cinema like they did earlier. Because
they're gonna be the ones or there'll be two or one or
whatever it would just be posed up. Obsessed album cart. So
that's my theory on I think they learned from Trump.
Alright, who they're gonna pick?
I think they're gonna pick Jim Coburn's. If they if they do it,
really I'll pick Yes. You remember Jim Clyburn was the
kingmaker for Joe Biden.
Oh, right. He she needs to get paid.
Exactly. You everybody said what did he get out of this? He
didn't get anything out of this. Right.
And here it is.
29
Congressman Clyburn, thank you for joining us. Right now. Most
Democrats think you're a kingmaker.
But thank you very much for having me.
And are you pretty confident now this is wrapped up for Joe
Biden? Sorry, you pretty confident now this is wrapped up
for Joe Biden?
Oh, yes, I am. I think that Joe Biden has run a great campaign.
I think the numbers are coming in very clearly in his favor. I
do believe that when things are said and done over the next 24
hours, he will be declared the winner. All of us are looking
forward to that. He was just a great guy. Exactly what the
country needs at this particular point. That's what
you said back in February. Take us back to that moment, I think
was the Monday before the South Carolina primary, you came out
and decided it was time to endorse and embrace Joe Biden
walk us through your decision making process? Could you
imagine it would have the impact that it had?
No, I did not imagine that. But I do know that I was working.
Now go out what you're wanting to hear his question. And listen
to this double top. Jim does.
Okay, you came out and decided it was time to endorse and
embrace Joe Biden walk us through your decision making
process? Could you imagine it would have the impact that it
had?
No, I did not imagine that. But I do know that I was working
hard to try to not only make an endorsement, but to do it in
such a way that we give him a surge, which is what he needs.
He has just come out of three primaries and lost all of them,
and did okay in Nevada. But it was really his campaign was on
life support. And I knew this the kind of guy that we needed
to have our nomination.
I knew that I could own this bitch. That's what that's what
he was thinking. Oh, wow, that's pretty good. Mo I like it. That
would make a lot of sense.
So I think if they do it, but I think Jim's gonna get you're
saying get god.
Yeah, yeah, he because he might get strung along for a bit
there.
What you have, if you can't give Black people what they won't
know how that goes, come on. This next time, you say, my
hands are tied. And then you just rinse and repeat. We are
not saying it's very flippantly but we've seen how this happens.
If I ask you, right, yeah, yeah. You call us after the election.
They're gonna tell Jim the same thing. What just cuz they're
saying just for people say, Well, you read into what he
said. Batman said he No. He said, No. And he say, No, I
didn't know but he said I knew. And then he realized he's given.
He says, I thought I knew how you think you know, but just to
solidify the fact that he knew that he had a Joe Biden right
where he wanted him. Here's the endorsement, the official
endorsement of Joe Biden by Cogburn.
Fellow. I'm crossing with Jim Clyburn, and at least South
Carolinians, but the one thing, the best way to tell what a
person will do is look at what he or she has done. I know Joe
Biden. I know His character, just hawk and his record. Joe
Biden has stood for the hard working people of South
Carolina. We know Joe. But more importantly, he knows us. Joe
will bill on President Obama's legacy, but can expand the
Affordable Care Act and take on the NRA. In South Carolina. We
choose precedents for President Clinton came to South Carolina.
We launched him to the White House, and President Obama came
to South Carolina. We lost him to the White House. Now Joe
Biden is in South Carolina and we are going to launch him to
the White House. I'm calling on you to stand with Joe Biden.
Yay.
I thought you didn't know
Jim first right I thought I knew I didn't kind of know you know
all the presidents that they you know, they're put out your SAM
to put a put in the office
what me Kingmaker me a kingmaker. Now, I really,
and that will be his legacy. You're saying by hitting the
Supreme Court jet. So I'll just say all this to say all this,
you know, going outside you owe us Joe. Joe, you owe us. You're
saying by the COVID the blue light blue light coven. Right.
Jim, the whole town that had the cards. No kidding. It was Jim
the whole time. Ah, so we're gonna see how it plays out. But
there is one observation everybody has made about the
majority of these possible people to be confirmed as the
next Supreme Court justice. A lot of them have white husbands.
Oh, really? No. Yes.
So much so that this is this is probably the greatest piece of
pandering in mo facts with Adam curry history. The next one we
bought I'm saying that this is not hyperbole strap. Folks strap
in. This is Michael Eric Dyson. caping for for the Supreme Court
Justice and Joe Biden.
And I know some people got a problem with some of these
women, man to white man. Yeah, I'm gonna go there this morning.
Oh my god. What? Well, look, I don't know the situation. But
this what I do know some of them. A lot of them are dark
skinned black women and some negros got a problem seeing the
beauty in dark skinned black women. Don't you be mad because
a white boy came along and saw what you threw away? I said as
everybody I said as everything I'm not saying it's universal.
But before you rag on them understand the story. Some of
these darker skinned black women don't get no love would be could
be in a place like Harvard, Princeton and Yale and the
brothers Dayton all white women. That's their choice if they want
to do that, but look, kind of look at the demonization of
darkness. Look at the chocolate charm that's being overlooked.
Look at it and we got everything in the book, vanilla vitality.
Carmel cuteness, chocolate charm, mocha magic. We got it
all bruh and yet we overlook that right? Because we think
that the white man's water is wet. And skin and flesh is
sweeter and sexier. So don't be mad at Black women who refusing
to be by themselves if they wanted to be a partner accepted
the love and devotion of a white man who saw their value beyond
their skin in a way that certain black men could or saw the
beauty and value in their skin. Not transcending their darkness
inhabiting it in delicious fashion. But that's another
story.
Now when was this right afterwards?
No, yes,
but the evil so the evil white patriarchy man is smart.
By finding by finding and loving the lowly down dark skin, it was
so it was so patronizing. And at same time disrespectful to dark
skinned women. Yes. And while we talk about this, I want you to
Google the air Michael Eric Dyson, his wife but the point
I'm trying to make is this he went straight Method Man like
chocolate did Lux butter pecan called me Poppy brown what is
you talking about? He was saying What are you talking about and
then say that but he bought into them being dark skinned and
something last name So it's weird what he did, but I've
never heard somebody pander so hard. I'm
Marcia Louis Dyson, a she an heiress.
I don't know what she is, but you're saying she she she's up
the ladder. Whew. I know that's much, but, but my point is this.
These are the same people. They just shredded Clarence Thomas. I
don't I'm not here to take over Clarence Thomas. But what I'm
saying is that the hypocrisy for him having a white wife, he
wasn't like y'all he's a sellout. He's big he wouldn't
even fight marry your sister. But then when it's on the
Democratic side now you see what I'm talking about in the first
year Sure.
She's white.
I didn't say I said she's like white light. Okay, like now he's
talking about dark these dark skinned says the white bread and
white why you mean cuz you love who you love. I don't like
getting into the colors argument. What I'm saying is
that he accuses brothers, as he say, wanting to go by the light
or white. But he did the same thing. And then he wants to
demonize and we saw the same thing happen with a Roland
Martin. The whole thing came up about Kamala Harris merito white
man. Black men are haters. They're hate hateful to hate. So
it made me wonder, why is MICHAEL DYSON so easily
persuaded? So I had to do a chicken. And I found ADL slams
MSNBC pundit MICHAEL ERIC DYSON book comparing Clarence Thomas
to Jews who sided with Hitler.
Oh, so that's what they got on him. Hmm.
Can this be how they can use Jenkins chain anytime they want
to? And they can get him on NBC anytime they want to or get him
kicked out. Think he's at Georgetown now. Anytime they
want to. Could they can bring this up. I'll bet.
So you see how it works? Yep. Unbelievable.
Yeah, there's this is like I said, people think I'll make
this stuff up. But no, no, no, no, no. It's a mess. It's just
fascinating how he went forges black man hate dark skin. What
are you talking about? Nobody saying that. It's the fact that
would you seen this trend? What's the head of the Justice
Department civil rights Kristin? Yes. Yeah. White Man. Kamala
Harris white man, most of these sisters here not to say you love
who you love. That's not the point. But when we start to
question this trend, like y'all talk black, which are sweet
white. And that reason why I bring that up because it's a
double standard, because anytime a black man's would qualify. So
that's my whole point of bringing that up. And it's just
like my, I've never seen the level of pandering, you got out
and that family? Y'all know what we gonna do in the last tapes.
So y'all better show up I got the video. It means actual
video. This guy is ridiculously pandering and he has to be aware
of how it's gonna come across. Or he's not fit to do the job
he's doing if he's not aware he's gonna come across. But when
they got leverage on it, you got to do what you say what you got
to you got to do it. They were. So I mean, that's just they were
saying that was the beast last week, see, blah. They're saying
I'm talking about Joe Biden, and also a fat man, we're gonna talk
about him crack pipes, too. And Joe Biden's handing out? Is this
I'm not a drug person. You're saying I wasn't in Hollywood
around this kind of thing. And I'm not saying you are drug
person. But isn't a crack pipe and a meth pipe the same kind of
thing?
I can't I don't know.
I assume so. I tried to Google. And they all look the same to
me. I don't know if they function in different ways. But
you're not hiding labor as crack pipes to make it for racial and
Jeremy ratio.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, in general, I would say, Well, I
think metal straws. I really don't know mo but
it's not what I'm just saying is like just black people in crack
pipe. Well, we're gonna talk about that.
Right, instead of meth pipe. It's crack pipe. And that always
insinuates black drug addicts.
Right. Yeah. So that just that part
and Maxine Waters and Maxine Waters, I don't know for some
reason when I hear crack pipe. I always think of Maxine Waters. I
don't know. I don't know why.
Well, the thing is, like you said she knew what was happening
out in California when it who was bringing all the drugs,
yeah, CIA that she got quiet. Maybe it was costing her
associations. Were being anti semitic. I don't know maybe I'm
just saying probably, but that's the end of the C slash BS B
slash C Block. And we think some more producers buy like brand
new money.
I just I don't want any money around me it's not I don't want
to have a new one that our brand than an old 20 That's kind of
dumb and but there's something about new money that excites
you. You like $100 bills. I owe money to the most beautiful
thing on earth is $100 Bill, I haven't seen a woman is good
looking at $100 bills excites you.

Alright, so we're in the final block. I guess we just jump
right into it. 33
new travel for popular podcast with Joe Rogan. He is
apologizing this morning over past use of a racial slur this
as another artist as Spotify to remove music in protest. MCs
Earnshaw has more good morning serene.
Good morning Eva. We cannot even tell you the first letter of the
word that Joe Rogan wants repeatedly used. That is how it
is really star podcast are now coming under even greater
scrutiny.
You can't even say N word anymore. We can't even mention
the first letter. Oh no let me guess.
The word has actually been banned and wow you would know
we'll never on my part out we'll never discuss the N word on this
show because it's so triggering it was an hour just understand
the weight of you do you do as well of course but it's gotten
so sent out and the reason why I brought it up my you stopped I'm
glad you did but I wasn't sleep you call it? You can't even say
inward anymore. That's let alone actual inward. The first time I
heard this, I've
never heard this. I've never heard this. Back to the clip.
Good morning. Eva. We cannot even tell you the first letter
of the word that Joe Rogan wants repeatedly used. That is how bad
it is. The star podcasts are now coming under even greater
scrutiny. This morning Spotify reportedly removing over 70
episodes of The Joe Rogan experience from their platform.
This comes as the embattled podcaster is now apologizing for
what he says is a regretful and shameful use of a racial slur
multiple times over several years on his show.
There's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say
that word nevermind publicly on a podcast. And I agree with
that. Now, I haven't said in years.
Rogan's use of the racial slur resurfacing after r&b singer
India reposted a compilation spanning several years on
Instagram, you know,
saying the word you already said. He is just like it's a
video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years
of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together.
And it looks horrible, even to me.
Ah, well, I think we are the two guys to talk about this now,
aren't we?
I think we're the only two Yeah, I
think we I think we actually come with with qualifications
for this one.
Right. And, and skin in the game. Cuz we do have the Joe
John ammo. Producers. Yeah, you know, I know you and Joe are
cool. Yeah. But at the same time, I when you're in the
media, we got to talk about it. And that's what we're gonna do
next. Now,
I just want to say one thing I heard in that clip, which I only
realized now, he said, That's the word as a white man I should
never use and then he said, let alone publicly on a podcast. I
found that interesting.
So is he saying nobody should use it on the podcast?
No. What I the way I hear what you heard. What I what I heard
was, well, maybe okay, if I do it in private? Am I reading too
much into it? No,
no, I read when I heard it was not he should never say it
should never be said on a podcast. Voice it is publicly
ever seen.
Yeah. I said, well, but he said a white man publicly on a
podcast that that's I don't know. I don't know. The thing
was Joe is I know him is a very sweet, very charitable,
incredibly kind man, to everybody. So you know that
that's just how I know him. So it's hard for me to even think
that he could, that he could say think that Oh, but I can do that
in private. I'm just covering all the bases here.
And the thing is, like, this is how I see it all the way he said
it was taken out of context. And that's not what I found
offensive. And what we're gonna we're gonna get to what I for me
as a black man found offensive. Because if you're saying in
context, or reading lyrics, or,
or, or album titles, or some quoting lot
movie lines, it's kind of like, as a as a media person. Are you
allowed to say that? I don't know. They're saying, If I would
have heard it real time, and I understand the context. But what
I'm saying is one, this was a hit this this was a clip I want
to make clear, this was a clear hit. The COVID stuff wouldn't
work. And so they had say, you know, what, who can we piss off?
To get him off of here? We can't do it ourselves. Once again,
they go back to the workers. It's like we're out here. Let's
get a dark skinned woman. Yep. Because that played into it.
Let's get a dark skinned woman to come out here to say she was
offended by it. And will whatever these clips were being
surfaced or been going around or whatever, like that, and that
that was the whole point. Now the reason why I find this
disrespectful is they look at black people like we're attack
dogs, that they can just point and say sick, right to sick,
right? And this goes back to the first block If we call him the
hit went doing your dirty work for you. That's the whole,
that's the whole point about it is just like this is, this is
about autonomy. I'm not your guy, I'm not your guard dog. And
this makes me think of Animal Farm. Man, when the pigs took
over, they took the dogs in the house, and they train the dogs.
And that's how they maintain power on the farm. This is
exactly the case of that. They think black people are their
attack dogs. And I was so proud of black people, for the most
part was like, Nah, we're not doing that we're not doing your
dirty work for you. Um, you can't see them yourself. Without
us getting involved. They really can get hit take taking down.
Now another thing about that first clip? The reason why they
I don't think they said the inward, they don't want to
destroy Joe. They want to co opt him.
Oh, for sure. Oh, definitely. And oh, you don't want
to use them? We don't want to ruin them use them up a little
bit.
Useful. No, he's useful. And he's got an open microphone,
which we now have already pressured him into saying, Yeah,
I want to have one me, you know, one opinion on the next show get
another opinion on. So that's the pressure to have certain
type of voices heard.
Right. And I would like to take the time to say you're saying I
don't know you want to talk about this not by fillers
necessarily talking about I did call you and I know Joe's your
friend. And and it's like this, if one of my friends. Like just
like star for instance, if star wasn't a jam, you know, saying,
I would like to have the ability to opt out like eight out of 10.
I really want to talk about this. But I'll guarantee to the
producers. In fact, family. If we ever did that, we will still
come here and talk about why we don't want to talk about it. You
don't say just because I understand I'm aware of if we
don't talk about it, then it's like oh, Adam, you're saying
pulling most chain?
Yeah, so yes, Mo called me. And I didn't even understand what
you were asking initially. Like, have you talked about the the
Rogan thing? And I'm like, Yeah, I talked about the wrong thing.
There's no agenda and all this. And I was like, Oh, you mean the
N word thing? No, no, of course not. There's only one man in the
world that I need to talk about that with on a podcast. And if I
asked the Vortech he'd say, Man, you need to talk to me about
that. And so and this is this to me. And I, the way I perceive
Joe and my friend Joe, is he be actually very delighted if he
heard that we were the ones discussing this the way only we
can and it's a hell of a lot more useful. I think for us to
do that. Then then most
right, so the thing I was like I said, once again, the thing I
was upset by one couple things upset me one that people think
they can just say attack and we attack. We don't work like that.
Those days are over. You're saying is steal people's gone?
I'm saying just fly off the handle. But no, it's what am I
getting out of it? It's hacking take him down.
I heard I heard a lot of black people pushing back say wow, you
know, I mean, they didn't really, they just would have
like, swerve a little bit of mumbling out of context. There
was no uprising, if that's what you mean,
is because it was this is how dumb they think we are. It was
so thinly veiled it's fresh off of the the COVID attacks. And
then you come right back with the racist attack. Yeah, and I
don't want to put anything out into the ether. But you know,
there's gonna be another attack. If you're saying if you don't
understand you're saying, you know, D needs to stay in line.
And it's gonna show you this house. This is how the media
works. Now, I want to get to the second part of the era. Yeah,
the G the GMA clip,
are we protesting Rogan's language requesting Spotify
removed her music?
My hope is that some of my artist friends would follow in
come along with me. Because one of the hashtags I put on my
posts was what if we all leave? There's absolutely no
circumstance that a white person should be using that racial slur
period,
Spotify, his space growing pressure over Rogen show artists
like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young taking down their
recordings over Rogan spreading COVID misinformation at
Spotify right now is finding itself in a very serious
predicament because on the one hand, they say they don't censor
creators, but they've also got people saying things that are
untrue and potentially damaging in a public health sense and
racist on their platform. They've got to draw the line
somewhere.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson initially showed support for Joe
Rogan through the COVID controversy, but he appears to
be distancing himself now tweeting that he did not know
about the use of the racial slur. Meanwhile, Spotify has not
publicly commented on the recent controversy.
The Rock the rock you got that call?
I don't care how big you think you are rock. They were like a
step out the way. They said a rock, you know that spot on the
Superbowl you got coming up? He be ashamed if you know you got
pulled? Yeah. Ah, you know, that kind of thing. So just like I
said,
that's exactly what happened with him this exactly what
happened with him.
I don't know how y'all down. But the thing is, is this hearing
any comments hearing in a context? That didn't really
upset me? Um, but I wasn't set with some of the stuff. He said,
I think I'm gonna keep it 100. And I always keep we were saying
100 with the family. And
I think and I, as we talked briefly, before the show about
this, I think I anticipate well, you took offense at which I
wholeheartedly agree with it, maybe more, but we'll find
out. So what we're going to do is we'll get to that. But Andy
arry even got reeled in, it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, they're
calling Joe racist. You need to go out here and clean it up,
that he's not a racist. And I'm like, why would she post that
man? If it wasn't she didn't think he was racist, is that she
wanted a better cut for artists on Spotify.
And, and this and this is the problem with this whole argument
is and that's Neil Neil Young has always been angry with
Spotify. All it's about Spotify, not about Joe Rogan. They're
just taking advantage of it. Oh, my God. We had Elton John Phil
Collins, a whole bunch of British artists, I think. I
think Paul McCartney, maybe just a year ago trying to start a
campaign against Spotify and streaming payments which believe
it or not all that money is going to the record companies
who own their asses own their masters and they cut the deal
they even got stock in Spotify that's that's how corrupt that
Spotify businesses with the music and they know it they know
what happened to
our say to India I read the same thing I said in the first block
you if you got got your own fault, you signed that class,
right? So you can't come and whine and complain try to
leverage black people's emotion and pain. That's why I found
more sick about it from her side. You know what you're
doing? You know what that word evokes? You know what the
incident and you know the inferiority complex that come
along with that word. And most I'll be honest with you, most
time when a white person call you that you probably doing
something right? Because it just seemed like they don't want you
to keep doing it. That's all I'm gonna say about that word. Cuz I
mean, like I said, as is so you can't, you can't that's one of
the things you really can't empathize on. Because the way
it's designed, um, let's go ahead and get into MDR re
talking to Don Donald Donald. Donald and say about how she was
upset but not really upset
by after highlighting a barrage of racist language repeatedly
used by Joe Rogan. But she says she's not looking for him to be
cancelled. And singer songwriter NDI Reed joins me now in via you
know, I love you. I love I love you since the moment you met you
met and meeting your music. Thank you for joining us. I
think you're you're I think you have a very nuanced perspective
about this. And I really respect it you say that Joe Rogan has
spurred this protest but it's not actually about him. What's
it about ma'am?
I love you to a box make me cry by playing I'm light in my intro
it's about the influence of energies. Because there is Joe
Rogan, his insensitive language around race. There's that and
there's also Spotify in their treatment of artists. And
there's that
so you, you were listening. You said you just started tuning out
and what did you mean by when you held your hand up and you
said you have an issue with Spotify? Because you have this
and then you have what do you mean by that? Explain to the
viewer
well I feel like the average person confuses celebrity
culture. I'm gonna hold my hands up again because my my opinions
are always nuanced. I think human beings we're doing so I
feel like the average person confuses celebrity culture with
being a working
musician. Yeah, okay.
That was that was the whole point of we want a better cut
Yeah, I think we should all go that was talking about that
wasn't talking about black people who that was talking to
other artists. You're saying let's how it was a strike. It
was a worker strike or threat of a worker strike
and what's what's so funny in a sorry, just interrupt about
Spotify. If you really want to hear some offensive shit, listen
to some of the music on Spotify. I mean that there's, there's a
lot of, you know, songs about black men killing black men.
No, there's actually an artist that killed black men. Killing
Batman. Yeah, I'm just kidding. She's keeping Yeah, she's
keeping actually.
women, women and rap about it.
Well, I'm just gonna stay at the cumin. There's actually a Deaf
culture. And shout out to my man ayoko psycho. He is doing
another YouTuber. He's doing this whole thing about you know,
the rat trap. And they have it there's an actual an active game
of murder going on between rappers right now. Where they're
killing each other. And Spotify plays his music. And they talk
about all the people that kill and who you're gonna kill. I'm
talking about lifting nightlight, someone so got shot,
someone so got shot, someone still got shot. And you hear it
like that person who raps about it, he'll end up in the news.
He's dead. And then they'll come back the other side of combat
and say, someone still got shot? Don't they go down the list and
he'll get shot. Chicago, Memphis, he was saying all these
towns? And they have no problem.
What? What's that call? How do we call that category?
Well, it's just it's called drill rap. I mean, she probably
heard it come up and saying that it was the mayor of New York, is
they have time to do something with it. Yeah, um, but it's the
whole culture. It's like an interactive flight. It's like
Grand Theft Auto but in real life, right. All they want to do
is go around, and they rap about who got cute, and you're saying
and then when you do that, that's disrespect. So that puts
a target on your back. And when they call the ops or the other
side comes and try to kill you. And Spotify profits off of this.
And I you like so? Oh, I'm more upset about that. Yes, ma'am.
And a profit and dead black man and I am about saying podcasts
are standing inward now. Oh, hello. We're waiting on that
job. Kanaka field eyes rolling. We can't let you off the hook.
I'm gonna tell you what sent me about Joe. Joe, if you're
listening, I'm just gonna keep it 100 With you, bro. That
monkey stuff. I knew it. That monkey stuff. Yeah. That leads
to black people being subhuman. And I can't give you a pass on
that one. Full stop. I can't give you a pass on that one.
Because that leads into the justification of slavery because
they're subhuman. So we have to be their their protectors. And I
know he didn't mean it that way. But what I'm saying is that's
far more offensive offensive. And it's not even a fist is
triggering. And like I said, this is this goes into the
racial programming of his time there he sub subhuman. So hold
on, like, oh, no, I'm subhuman. So that means you know, you
think, you know, I can't think But in fairness, this is where
we're gonna get the full context. I have the whole clip
of Joe Rogan talk about the Planet of the Apes. And we're
gonna go through it, we can listen to it, you can stop
anytime you want, you have to listen to the whole clip. But
this is what went like I said, when I heard that whole clip
where she played. And I've heard this Planet of the Apes thing
before and people's being upset about it before. So it's nothing
new there. But I had to give a full analysis of how it's
received. So hopefully, people can learn from it, I understand
why it's offensive, the monkey thing and, and I'll
say that I can because I've thought about this, I heard that
too. All of this has been around I've seen that I've seen the N
word clips and you know, so it was actually quite surprised
that hadn't been compiled, pre know, some other stuff about
women. And most of that's, most of that seems like grainy old
video so I don't really know the context there was there was
years and years of Joe Rogan experience I was never
interested because it just seemed like a bunch of dudes
hanging out drinking smoking, and and talking crap. So it
never really became interesting until the long form interviews
till Joe perfected his format. But I cannot personally think of
any instance where I would use this make this comparison. Not
not in a joke. Nothing is baffling to me. And now and now
I have not heard the whole thing in context. So it'll help we
have everything here.
Yes, this the whole five minutes on some odd seconds continuous.
I just put up in clips, so we have space to you know, so you
didn't have to stop it perfectly. You know, it's the
whole five minutes of No, no interruption, so I just want to
play it so people can hear it and I'll give my commentary on
it and you can give me Your feedback or you can hear what
you heard. And maybe Thank you. You're, you're saying, you got
it, you got to get into 36.
So anyway, we, we can't go to there. So I go, you got to go to
one where there's planet inks, man, we're gonna go see Planet
of the Apes. So I look on the iPhone app, and it says, Okay,
take me to this one. And the guy goes, Okay, goes out in a good
neighborhood. There's a young guy barely speaks English. He
takes us there, we get out and we're giggling Uzi, please, we
walk into Planet of the Apes. We walked into Africa. We walked in
the door. And there was no white people. There was no white
people. We planted the incident take place in Africa. That was a
racist thing. You see what I'm saying? What I'm saying is fine.
Automatically stuck to your head. Yeah, what would happen is
we walked into the blackest neighborhood we could find I
mean, it was there was literally no white people. It was amazing.
And everybody was super cool. You know, it wasn't a negative
experience. And this is something I wrote on on Twitter
that we all went to see Planet of the Apes in a black
neighborhood and experience I highly recommend, and all these
fucking people started calling me a racist. I mean, dozens of
Twitter people do I know you were racist. Fuck you, like
black people are saying fuck you. I'm like, Listen, man, I am
saying it was a positive experience. I highly recommend
and it was a black neighborhood.
Alright, so you want to hear what I heard? Sure. What I heard
was Taketake it. We hung out with monkeys. But it was cool.
They were like a petting zoo. And I was scared to go in there
with those monkeys. But when I got in there, everything was
cool.
So wait a minute. So the but the the original premise, if I
understand properly, is they wanted to see the movie Planet
of the Apes in a completely black neighborhood?
I don't know. I don't think I don't know if that's the only
place that was available. And that's where they went. I don't
know. But what I'm just saying is to think that it wouldn't be
cool. That's the racist part right now. You know, saying
like, ooh, like, we're gonna like be crapping in our hand and
throwing it at the screen. That's what I'm saying. That's
how it's perceived. Now he even acknowledged Dave Sandy was in
Africa was racist. So he's self aware. Oh, hold on. A self aware
of how it lands is what I'm saying? No, of
course, of course. How does he? How does he understand the
monkey comparison? When he says, Dude, there were no white people
there. How does that hit you?
I don't care. I don't care about it's about the sub human part is
that what upsets people and it's not about looking like a monkey
coffee. That's what think people think like, oh, you know, look,
their brain knows the comparison. Yeah, it's the
actual intelligence thing. That's that's the thing that
think that we're subhuman. Like, we're the missing link. You're
saying on the evolution chain. And a lot of this goes into
Darwinism. See you now we are we we like this is a good setup for
another show. itself is racist. To truck unbelieving. Yeah. You
know, saying so that's that's another reason why I set this up
the way I did, because this only lands to you're saying like
we're subhuman in it. And when we have intelligence, that's the
that's the you're saying, Oh, wow, that's a smart one. In
maths where the Talmud 10 Boulais stuff comes from is that
oh, we got smart one here. Well, why would I be done? Normally? I
don't understand that.
Mo. You're different.
That's a different thing is races? Uh huh.
Of course, I've never said that to you have ever said that. Like
that. I don't think I would say that.
Well, what different can be used in different ways? Different of
you don't have the political views as most people.
Yeah. It's already loaded, though. That's what
like I said, it's about how things are received, because
it's processed through the racial programming.
Well, I don't I don't think Joe has any idea how this was
received. He does now of course, but I think he still doesn't
really really understand it.
And hopefully when he hears this, because I know he listens.
Hopefully, he'll get it in this life. That's not me saying I
pretty have a white guy. It's like y'all are you know, that
kind of good rhythm for white guy?
Yeah. Unfortunately, unfortunately, you know, the
racial programming I have is that is meant to immediately be
I know, right? It's immediately. I'm not supposed to be offended
by that. That is that is a that's a lifeline.
Is that cause that's how it was portrayed in the media? That's
correct. You know, it's the fact that it's supposed to be a
compliment. I think it was rhythm. I don't like you're
supposed to beat but what are you saying like 90% of white
people don't have, I don't understand how that poster work,
you know. But at the same time, let
me say I will say amongst my white brothers and sisters,
there's a lot of clapping on the one in this three, I have to
admit that
it's just different I get mad love,
I love me some river dancing.
It's just a different rhythm we all got. That's the whole point.
We all got rid of them. It's just different rhythms. You
know, we got all got intelligence, it's just
different intelligence. Sure. So that's what we had there
appreciate. But we have to understand the media shapes
things in a certain way, where, you know, years and years and
years of portraying black people as monkeys, not the fact of
being a monkey, but it's like you have the intelligence of a
subhuman.
I gotta tell you the story, I have to share this. I'm sure she
will be going back to our school teacher. And, uh, she got in
huge trouble, like massive trouble. And it was a total
fuckup. So remember, she's advanced placement. So you know,
but it is public school. And there was this one, I think it
was an Asian girls, it was before class. And the Asian girl
is showing she has a cute little purse with a little monkey on
it. You know? And so they're just chatting. And then another
girl walks in another student. And and this is She's a very
loving public school teacher says hey, monkey, how you doing?
Now, why she said that is a term of endearment. She had just seen
a monkey on the, on the on this little purse. And of course, the
student who had just come in was black.
I mean, oh, no. Oh, yeah. But that's what she triggered and
like this the same
thing in it. And because I know our school t shirt, she's not
racist, but holy crap. I mean, that was almost career ending
for her.
I bet it was because it's about how it's received.
And the little girl was traumatized. Of course. Of
course. Of course, too. Anyway, that that was just an example of
how trauma even though this was a real mess up. And she clearly
didn't mean to call the student a monkey. But how deeply deeply
triggering that was. And this, the whole thing was an uproar.
And the ratio programming can also be into race. Yes, right
now, as black people sitting on the edge of their seat, to see
how I'm going to handle this, and I'm aware of that, Okay,
I'm ready. I know where we're going.
No, I'm just saying, but that's, that's the whole thing. You're
like, oh, well, I gotta, I gotta say something. But, you know,
should I say something? Should I not say something? I mean, these
thoughts go in your head, but me. I don't know, I'm maybe I'm
just crazy like that. I mean, that's me, I get it from my dad.
It's like, I'm gonna say what I feel. You know, and if you don't
like me because of that, I mean, so be it. But I gotta say, I
mean, I gotta say how I feel I can't live with myself. And that
goes back into the point of how I made a decision I made, I have
to live with myself at the end of the day, you know, because I
mean, when this is all said and done, like with a shot, I
couldn't live with myself. That's why I made the decision.
Speaking on this, you know, saying I gave you the opt out,
because like I said, if something comes down with one of
my friends, but we will still come here and say, You know
what, we're not gonna talk about this. And this is why, and we're
still gonna have a conversation. Oh,
no, no, this is this is the actual learning moment from it
all. Everything that did on mainstream, and his apologies
is, is Oh, whatever. But this is the learning this, this is where
you can really understand what the real problem is.
Exactly. So let's go and get to 37.
And we get in there, right. And we're so we're so giggly. And
then I realized like, whoa, everyone's black here, like,
Well, I mean, everyone's black. It is crazy. And then a bunch of
people recognize me and just don't want to take pictures. And
it's all good. Everybody's cool and friendly. Surely shit cool.
Like this guy goes, Yo, man. I don't wait. I know you from I
don't want to I don't want to bother you, man. I'm not trying
to use up your time. Well, I know you from I go Fear Factor.
I go. Yeah, that's it. You made this was the ways that it was
like so cool. And we're giggling Oh, no one did the smoke rocks
thing, but I took a lot of goddamn pictures. And like I
said, super cool. Super friendly. This is not a negative
story. So then we go into the movie Good, right? It's me
Tommy. And like, maybe there's another white person, maybe one
other white person, movie theater filled with black people
and they are having a good fucking time. You know, people
always complain that black people talk to the movie theater
and talk to screen. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. But it's good.
Fucking Yeah, if that's what you know. And the way I felt like
I'm like, Look, I'm in their neighborhood. This is how they
go to the movies. Who the fuck am I to be offended by how they
like to go to the movies.
Okay, so I respect that because he realized that he was saying,
Hey, I'm in there too. same territory, or a married
neighborhood, wherever you want to put it, hey, they thought to
the movies, you're saying the movie screen, that's what we're
gonna do.
And I will say I had this experience Time Square 1988 When
Times Square was still dangerous, and I went to the
premiere of coming to America, and I'd only been in New York
for about a year and a half. And it was one of the most
exhilarating experiences I've ever had. I'd never been to a
movie theater like that.
Ever. Because we were the OG reaction. Video, it was the same
thing. We Black History Month we started it.
It was it was it was an IT remember I was I was basically,
I really didn't know much at all about black American culture
because I'd grown up in Europe. And you know, that's why I will
walk on Time Square, I was, you know, clearly a very pasty white
guy I would never wear I'm never afraid of anything or anybody
because I walked among color all the time. That's how I grew up.
But that was that was a phenomenal experience. So that
part, I totally understand what I didn't actually know that the
theater would be be like 99%. Black.
But we have a different experience when we watch movies.
Oh, fun. Yeah. But that's just culturally, us. Yeah. And that's
the beauty like saying, just appreciate the beauty of it. And
the thing, like I said, he went into this and the only thing I
take offense to is why wouldn't you think it would be cool? What
what would make you think that it wouldn't be cool? Well,
that's his programming. Practice. That's my point. And
that didn't my program is triggering off his program. Why
wouldn't you? Well,
but isn't that what we know? Isn't that why in the words of
Malcolm with the only way we're going to figure this shit out as
we sit down? We talk about it because it turns out, hey, you
know, like, I thought you were gonna be triggered about my
being triggered about you're being triggered or thinking me
being triggered, and it's all dumb. And then
we do this weird dance and be awkward around. Yeah, this is
just like, You know what, this is how I feel. You know what, I
don't feel that way. But like I said, the hard thing I took away
from it was the the thinking he was implanted at eight is like,
Yeah, but now I'm not. We're not subhuman. No, no, but that that.
I don't know. It's just that's comes from years and years and
years and decades and centuries of black people would just wild
out on you at any moment. It's no, that's not how it works.
Well, let's, let's see, what else is there anything else
triggering in this bit?
Let's go ahead and go to 38.
They, they were at the movies, and I'm not saying all black
neighborhoods do this. But this particular black neighborhood,
these people brought babies, bro. I mean, there's a lot of
people with babies. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't just one. These
these people in front of us walked in and they had toddlers,
like little two year olds sitting on their lap to see
PLANET OF THE FUCKING Apes at like 1040 on a Friday night,
give a fuck. give a fuck not didn't give a fuck. But I'll
tell you what made me really nervous and made me feel kind of
weird, was watching all of these previews of all these different
TV shows, or all these different movies, rather, they're coming
out. And I'm watching these movies, and all of them are
about white people. Oh, weird. And I'm sitting there and I'm
going wow, this is weird. Like, imagine being a black person.
And I always thought like, people would complain, like, I'd
hear black people complain about, you know, oh, there's no
films for black people. There's no roles for black actors. And I
believe so. Go make a movie. What do you want from me? You
know, but when you go to a goddamn movie theater was all
black people. That's when you really feel it. I'm sitting
there in the audience. And all these people are black, but
every movie preview is white.
Well, that's Joe getting some awareness right there.
You only get awareness from this experience. That's right. And
that's why if when you go in a room with the black going back
to the a block when you bring somebody into your saying you
want to make some money, or where do they offended you, you
educate them, and that's why they tend to Jewish people do
that? By saying let me make sure it's clear. We won't have a
rabbi comes out the price educate you on why this is
important. As well, they don't want us to do that. They want us
to be upset, mad right away, it doesn't get solved. And then we
go and then they always can keep us as an attack dog. And when I
say they, I mean the capital T H. E Y day, because it's
functional for them. It's like winning anybody and we won't
take somebody down. They were saying we can say something say
they say something right. So
so doesn't that say a lot I mean you're hearing about The fans
who, once they recognize it was Joe in this theater, doesn't
that say a lot about how? really interestingly how mature we are
that there wasn't that that black America didn't immediately
go into into outrage and start yelling said, Yeah, you know, we
kind of know Joe Rogan. He may be I'm just paraphrasing you
tell me if I'm off base. Like we know Joe Rogan, he doesn't seem
like you know, he fucked up and we he's got to know which of
course, there's never any designated person who does that.
There's a whole bunch of douchebags. Yeah, I would say
the bigger lender to that was the we understood that somebody
was trying to trigger a Right, right. dirty work for right now.
We say if we're trying to call to take down how it goes is a
Joe, if I'm saying if I'm, if I'm calling the shots, hey, Joe,
we need to talk. You know, in that clip, he was talking about
the monkeys, you know, how you said it wasn't a representation,
you're saying only white people on the screen, you empowered to
do something about that. Now, Joe, here's our hate for you. We
could definitely work this out, Joe. Transactional, this is how
I, this is how mature people work things out, right, it's a
transaction. Now what we're gonna do, it was Black History
Month to honcho, what we're gonna need is gonna need some
black people on your show all of this month. And then we're gonna
need to talk some of your Hollywood fans about that lack
of representation in Hollywood, that that's how you work these
things out on a transactional level, but they wanted us to be
on our emotional level. And that's why you didn't see the
outcry that you saw, because people are getting hip to death,
timing.
Great. That's improvement that's winning.
You're getting you make what is getting emotional about
something gets you other than your emotional release. And you
go back to the same circumstance that you were in, you know, when
you're, when you're saying you can leverage, you know, your yo,
me, it's leverage. I mean, it is what it means business, you
know, anytime you can leverage something over somebody, you
know, and it's not about destroying them is just like you
admit yourself is like a representation, right? You know,
do something about it. You know, and let me just one more thing,
before we get to his last clip, there was some other things that
guests he had on their time on the bell curve, and black people
or people of color were a proponent, or more likely to
saying be violent and that kind of stuff. I don't want any of
that taken down. Because what I rather have is, scholars come in
and debate you and prove you wrong. See, we need to stop
this, all we need to do is hurtful. Take it out, take it
out, put no in invite, y'all have a list. Here's a list of
people, we want to invite those guys back this pushing the bell
curve and all this other stuff. And I'm gonna bring these guys
over, we don't have a debate
that the only thing I'm gonna push back on that because Joe
Rogan show is not a debate show, and everybody wants to do this.
Every everybody wants Joe to have two people on debating.
That's not what that show is. So I'm going to push back on that
having having other people on. Absolutely. But debating now
that the show,
let me say this about debate to counterbalance that. Whatever.
Not wherever agenda was pushed that time. He says Oh, Mike, so
let's have some counterbalance to it. Right had to be on the
same show.
I understand. But the danger there, because that's what he
admitted he would do. And the danger there is who is going to
push who gets to push those buttons. It ain't gonna be no,
ain't gonna be more fast.
I agree with you on that one, because he's gonna be the blue
light.
Yes, sir. That's exactly what it's gonna be. That's why
we need to have independent grassroot representatives you
need
to give me you need to give me the damn list. And I give the
damn list of Mo to Joe. That's That's it? Give me the list.
Okay, I'll give him the list.
And I'm not going to make the list. Like I said, everybody
listening, you're saying whatever you
give us the list. I look, I can't make the list. Joe can't
make the list. And go does the list. Joe does the list himself.
It's Joe's list.
Right? So what you're saying is this is the fact that all it
needs to be two sides of the conversation just like when you
had Sanjay Gupta up there you have a Dr. Malone. You're saying
to counterbalance it Sure. This this? That's all I'm saying that
I'm not the one to make the list. But there needs to be
effort put. And that's why I said if you have somebody
actually what this proves his lack of representation on the
black side, morning standard issue you're saying of his.
I'll draw on and I'll draw an analogy. So whenever I've been
on there and I talk about Bitcoin, then the whole Bitcoin
communities like ether community, everyone's got to
have that person on that person on that. And you know what the
result is? No one gets on. There's got to be a better way
to have a list because I can already I already know, I know
already the people are gonna come out of the woods. Oh, I
mean, I get it all the time you go on Joe Rogan, here's the
thing you get. Hey, man, you know, you should tell Joe, he
should have so and so on. I get this 10 a day.
And I'm sure you I'm sure you get that because the same thing,
I might have a much smaller platform. But you always say,
Oh, you need to have this personal you need to have that
person. Oh, yeah. It's just like, I want to talk to people
to interesting. And it's not the point like say, that's the
opening
show. So what I'll say is, I guarantee you, I know, knowing
Joe, he's a very thoughtful dude, he sits and he's not I
mean, he works a lot but he thinks a lot. And he reads a
lot. And he and I share all kinds of stuff that I mean, you
remember my first or second appearance? I was talking about
a das you'd never heard of it. You know this? This is a process
you know, it takes a little while. And by the way, not a lot
of help from a das when I did that. I got a lot of people's
And who the fuck are you to talk about it. Look, I'm this is a
process, no matter who it is. And I think Joe got a turbo
charge. We'll see. We'll see. But I have a good feeling
is that when you bring stuff to the table, it makes them aware
of it to say, oh, there's a boss. There's actually exactly
it's not there. That's my point.
But But my point is when people are allies are helping or
whatever. Don't shoot the fucking messenger because I got
a little gun shy,
huh? You know, I'm
like, Well, hey, dude, there's a das and there's some shit going
on that I'm just learning myself. You know, the what? The
knee jerk reaction is dad was this cracker talking about this
shit. We need this person on that person. That's not helpful.
It's no different. It was no different in the Bitcoin
community. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's not helpful
either. And I always say a whole variety of different agendas,
brother agenda, agenda, agenda, points of view. Now No, cuz if
you say eight off the bat, people gonna say what about us?
And if you say, I know Yeah, you're gonna and no matter
no matter what I say the hotel has always been told me I know.
Right? Yes, that's my whole point is but open it up to when
you're only when you're pushing stuff like black people are
prone to violence like we need to we need to talk to somebody
to counter that, you know? Yes, a hell of a hell. That's not
what I'm saying. That kind of stuff. Just like with the Sanjay
Gupta, Dr. Malone, that would be the perfect balance. Gotta have
him on the same show him saying he didn't even want to dress
each other directly. But it was like less and I get it Joe
Rogan's podcast is to put a fringe ideas out there, I get
it, by the mudslide. That's why people tune in the mudslide,
aliens, UFOs, all these different things, things that
you don't hear on the mainstream. I get that. But
there's a there's an opportunity for that as well. And I'm just
saying if you if we were the ones that called him to task,
but obviously we were not when I said the quote unquote black
community are not the ones that push this agenda. No, if we were
that's how it happens, because trust me
