Starting point is 00:00:00 It's so stupid. It's positively brilliant. Yep, Shalamin de God. I'm Andrew Shultz. We are the brilliant idiots. And if you don't listen to this podcast, you're not black. If you don't listen to this podcast, you're not black. Wait, did I get it right?
Starting point is 00:00:19 No. If you listen to, if you have trouble deciding between this podcast and another podcast, you're black. What? You have trouble deciding between this podcast and another podcast. You're black. I don't know. I just want black people to listen to it. And white people and Latinos and Asian people.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Whoever else decides that they want to listen to podcasts every week. I got the chest out for the Latinos, bro. Look at that. You're all welcome. Is Taylor actually in the studio with you? Damn, bro. I want to surprise you. Cut to the wide, out.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Cut to that wide out. First of all, how can I surprise her? You don't even have a wide angle on. I can see half of her. What's going on in there? Have I been exaggerating when I say she's gained a few? She's had a sweat. She's bleeding into the frame.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And she's bleeding into the frame. That freshman 15 during quarantine is real. Yo, Taylor, gang, we got you. She's in the building, guys. I know how much you guys. That was everybody's week, man. What did we see this week that we thought was positively brilliant? are fucking idiotic.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Well, I have to commend you. I thought your interview with Joe Biden was positively brilliant. I think we all know what was idiotic, so maybe we start with positively brilliant. Okay. I thought the interview with you and Biden was absolutely,
Starting point is 00:01:44 it was brilliant. It was just great. You were in your bag. You were doing your thing. And that sound bite, I mean, really resonated. And you ain't black. You know, when my parents
Starting point is 00:01:57 that are in their 70s are texting me about an interview that you had, I know that it's hitting all generations. Got you. It's the platforms, though. It's the platforms that, like, redistribute that kind of content. That's all it is. Like literally in anything that we do, it's just all about, you know, where people see content, right?
Starting point is 00:02:20 Sure, but the content has to be exceptional enough that they'll want to share it. Or it has to be provocative enough. It has to have something. that's going to grab people's attention. It's got to be news. Right. You know, that's, that was news. Like, that's one of those stories that it made news.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It wasn't just a viral sensation. It was literally headline news. It was on the front page of the New York Post. Okay. So, how do you feel about the interview and how do you feel about the reaction to the line? Um, I knew it. I mean, I knew what the reaction to the line was going to be.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I knew that. I mean, I, like, I, I pre-taped that the week, the day, before. So it's like, I've been doing this for a long time. You know, you know when you got something, baby. You just don't know, you just don't know how big it's going to be. Like, come on, man. When I'm supposed to sit here and lie to y'all, you know when you're sitting on that gold? You know what I'm saying? You know, you know when you're sitting on that platinum, okay? And then you, then you put a couple of feelers out there. You know, you send it to a few of the
Starting point is 00:03:25 homies just to be like, bro. This is slap? Watch this tomorrow. No, matter of fact, I don't say nothing. I just send it to people and then I get their reaction and I'm like, yeah, this shit going to slap. This shit going to slap. But I mean, it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:03:43 The reason it's interesting for me because I can look at it from a bunch of different ways, like, I'm a person who respects honesty. Okay. So I don't, if your honesty is potentially dangerous. I'm dangerous. All right. If your honesty is, you know, loving and caring, all right. If your honesty is self-deprecating and revealing and transparent, cool. I just respect honesty. Right. He said what was honestly on his mind. Right. I don't know what to tell y'all. You know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Like, you know, I saw people, his, you know, his team was spending it as a joke. I saw him on CNN yesterday. He was on Dana Bash's show. Taylor, you can play this clip, even though Taylor never played the clips when we tell to play the clip. From what I read, from what I read on SoundCloud and YouTube. Somebody said, somebody actually said, is Taylor ever going to play a clip when they tell it to play a clip?
Starting point is 00:04:39 I've always wondered that because Al edits the video. So I'm like, when the fuck is Al getting these clips? I don't think, are you getting the clips? Taylor, what the fuck you doing? Taylor really got the best job in the business, huh? And over there risking Corona for it now. For no reason. We're at a risk.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah. We don't know where Taylor's been. You probably came to New Jersey last night. You might have been in Camden. You might have been in Camden. You might have been in Kansas, wowing out. Yeah, I saw him on Dana Bash, though, and he said he was being a wise guy. No, you, yeah, he said you were being a wise guy.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But he said he was being a wise guy because I was being a wise guy. Right. Well, first of all, you know, it was a mistake, number one. And I was smiling when he asked me the question, I was, you know, I shouldn't have been such a wise guy with him. He was being a wise guy and I responded kind. I shouldn't have done that. It was a mistake. I have never taken the African American community for granted.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Never, never, never once. And I've had overwhelming support in my state and overwhelming support from the African American community my whole career. But I have never taken it for granted. I work like the devil for it. And I have to earn it every single time. Nobody's vote should be taken for granted. That's what he said. But did you feel like you said something wise before it? I don't remember any joke before it. Come on, man. Yeah, yeah, listen. Y'all been listening to Charlemagne for a long time. If you just want to talk about Breakfast Club, you've been listening to me for 10 years. Y'all know when I'm being a wise guy. Okay? Whatever the fuck that is. What is this good fellas?
Starting point is 00:06:15 Like, God damn it. Does Joe Biden always have to remind us how old he is? Like, Jesus Christ, man. When I saw the thing with Dana Bastogh, I laughed because I was just like, you know, that's, that's classic, like, he's the vice president. Former Vice President Joe Biden. He's old. He's white. He's powerful.
Starting point is 00:06:34 When you have that level of power, that level of privilege, that level of entitlement and you've had it for so long, everything is everybody else's fault. It just is. Everything is everybody. else's fault. You know what I'm saying? Of course he would blame that on me being a wise guy. You know what I'm saying? Because he's not going to take, you know, he's not going to take any, any responsibility or accountability for what came out of his mouth. That's not what politicians do. Come on, guys. Come on, man. What are we talking about here? Are we surprised by that, you know? Right. Now, I had to, I had to look up the definition of wise guy.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And what did it say? It said, um, it said, uh, it said, uh, what did you? What, to say, a smart ass. Yeah, it was a, what was it? Hold on, did I write it down? Let me see if I wrote it down. All right, well, while you look that up, oh yeah, so a person who speaks and behaves
Starting point is 00:07:33 as if they know more than others are a member of the mafia. So I don't see how any of those definitions factor into the conversation we were having. But whatever. If you think an old, powerful, privileged white politician is going to ever take full responsibility for his fuck-ups, then you don't understand how the power of the privileged our politics works. Now, do you think that he was being, that he was trying to joke around? Do you think, like, in his core, he was trying to, like, joke around?
Starting point is 00:08:04 He felt maybe comfortable enough with you that he could say that as a joke. If it was behind closed doors, do you think maybe he would have said the same thing? I think Joe Biden is around a lot of black people who have that same sentiment. Right. That same what? Sentiment. Right. Like, like have that same sentiment.
Starting point is 00:08:22 They look at not necessarily conservatives per se, but specifically Trump supporters. And they look at, you know, they look at black Trump supporters. And, you know, you can see how Donald Trump, you know, has marginalized a lot of different communities, how he's oppressed a lot of different communities. So, you know, they question, you know, somebody's blackness in regards to voting for Donald Trump. you know, that's the thing. Like, what is blackness, right? Blackness is something based off, you know, culture, right? And if you're black, you're supposed to protect that culture at all times. Right. So if you're, you know, supporting something or someone that may not be supporting the culture, then you can be looked at as anti-black. Like, I've seen that anti-black
Starting point is 00:09:06 sentiment with Trump supporters. Like, that's not a new thing. So I think, I really do think Joe's around. I mean, Vice President Biden is around a lot of different people who probably say that so often. He probably asked the question. He probably does ask like, why would a black person ever vote for Donald Trump? He probably asked that question in his policy meetings. And when he's meeting with, you know, the NAACP and other black organizations
Starting point is 00:09:30 and they probably share that same feeling with him. Right. He probably was repeating one of the talking points he's heard from his, you know, circle. But some things must remain. in the circle. Right. You know what I mean? Some things must remain in the circle.
Starting point is 00:09:48 But I see people that agree with what he said. So that's... I see black people that agree with what he said. Yeah, the other thing that I would say is like, all right, so I saw him say it and I'm like, oh, wow, this is going to be fucking massive. And then I kind of sat back and I was like, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Is what he's saying any different than the sentiment that we've seen on Twitter, that we've seen towards guys like Kanye West, and other black people who have, you know, worn the MAGA hat. It kind of seems like I bet even a lot of our friends have probably tweeted things that are similar to if you vote Republican, you're a sellout. Absolutely. If you don't vote Democrat, you're a sellout. So in a lot of ways, he's getting roasted for really supporting the sentiment of a lot of the people who are roasting him.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah, I mean, that was the most interesting thing about it when you look, right? It's very interesting to see that an old white man also looks at black people in that way. You know what I'm saying? Like the question of what makes someone black. You know, that's really a discussion for black people to have. But, you know, and white people aren't qualified to have that discussion. But like I said, people do connect blackness to support and protection of black culture. So, you know, when you see a black person for voting for Trump and you know Trump is a threat to margin a lot of people in this country, it makes you question how much that person, you know, cares about his people.
Starting point is 00:11:08 So to see that through the lens of a white person, it kind of reinforced. something that I always thought, and it's that white people don't respect sellouts. White people don't respect Uncle Tom's. White people may fear radicals, and they may not want radicals to say the things that they're saying because it upsets the status quo, right? Right. Right. But I don't think they truly care about people who seem to not care about their own people
Starting point is 00:11:39 because how could I ever trust you? How could I ever trust you if you love me more than you love your own people? Right. But that's what I kind of got when I heard the Biden thing. Reinforce something I already thought. And it's just white people don't like, white people don't like Cooney. White people don't like Uncle Tom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:01 White people don't like sellouts. I don't think anybody likes a sellout, right? I mean, that goes back to Judas, you know. Boom. So it's like. Oh, yo, let's, you mean, more recent times. Look at the Trump administration.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yeah. Trump didn't like those people that would turn and code on him. 100%. He didn't like those people that was snitching on him. He didn't like those people that was selling him out.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Right. I think if I were to make a devil's advocate argument for black people that are... White devil's advocate. If I was going to make a white devil's advocate, is there any other type of devil? New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So, no, for black people who have like kind of embrace the Republican of Republican politics, I would say maybe they see a quicker path to progress for black people through conservative values. See, that's what I agree with you, but I don't like to mix the two. I think it's a big difference between conservative, traditional Republican values and what we're seeing now in the age of Trump. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And you understand that nuance. I know a lot of people, I think a lot of people don't, right? I think they just kind of, you know, equate the two. And to be fair, you could put some blame on that for the Republican Party that's been so supportive of the Trump administration, right? Because once you go, this is what a Republican is, well, then that's how you can treat someone, right? If those are the values of Republican. But I do think there's a lot of black people out there that they lean conservative on a lot of their values, especially if you're like a religious black person, maybe you've immigrated to America from a country where these like religious values. and like societal values are way similar and way more in line with conservative values than
Starting point is 00:13:48 liberal values. So you're like, wait a minute, I kind of, I kind of agree with everything that these conservatives are talking about. Yet I'm not supposed to be conservative because I'm black. But then you start going, well, maybe this is the way that we can progress. We could try something different. I understand how a black person could get there. A lot of the black conservative friends that I have who have been black conservatives for a long time, long before they were, you know, there was a Donald Trump. That's what they all say. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:13 They all feel like, you know, conservative values align more with, you know, the things that they want to do and they feel like they want to be a part of the conservative system just to see if they can, you know, help progress in the black community. Right. So, you know, I can't be mad at them for that. I don't like questioning anybody's blackness based off how they talk, how they were walk what their political views may be, you know, what their religion may be. Because at the end of the day, nobody sees any of that when you're just out and about.
Starting point is 00:14:50 If you're walking down the street, if a racist or a white supremacist sees your black skin, that is what that person is focusing on. He don't give a fuck if you're a Republican. He don't give a fuck if you a goddamn birdwatcher. Birdwatcher. Birdwatcher, Jewish. You know what I'm saying? He doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:15:10 He sees a black person. So when you say things like a person isn't black because they do X, Y, and Z, that, no, that's very dangerous because, you know, I don't know what, you know, the brother who got killed in Minneapolis. I don't know what his political affiliation was. You know what I'm saying? I don't know, I don't know what anybody's political affiliation is or religion is.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Neither do these police officers. They don't give a shit. I think that's a great point, man. It's like you're still going to get treated a certain way because of the color of your skin, regardless of your politics. So removing someone's blackness when they still got to go through black shit all the time is super unfair. Even if that person doesn't think so. Meaning even if that person who is black doesn't think they will be treated unfairly because of the color of their skin,
Starting point is 00:16:03 we know that that person is tripping. And he just ain't met the right white person yet. That's just all it boiled down too. You just ain't met the right white person to remind you that you are indeed still nigger. So, in a way, the red trumpet is good. It's a calling car. Keep going. There's a calling card.
Starting point is 00:16:26 In a way, the red trumpet is good. Better rep your set. You know what I'm saying? That might protect you from, you know, some unnecessary harassment at the hands of police officers or white supremacists. Yo, low key. Would Ahmad Aubrey have gotten harassed if he was jogging with a maga hat on? I don't know. Bro, low key, I think you might be right.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I don't know. The safest way that a black man can dress is wearing a maga hat. Maybe. You could sag your pants. You could wear whatever the fuck you want. Nobody can say shit if you got a magat. Maybe. It's quite possible.
Starting point is 00:17:00 That might ease people's. That is more, is that provide more safety than a bulletproof vest? Bulletproof vest signals war. You run through a goddamn white neighborhood with a bulletproof vest on right now. It would be World War Goddamn 3. But if you run through it with a MAGA hat on, you get a lot of head nods and I see you MAGA hat.
Starting point is 00:17:22 You know what I mean? The SEALs got that joke. He's like, I see you purple dress. I see you MAGA hat. You know, like I got, who knows, man? I just don't like, I don't like questioning somebody's blackness. I don't like, you know, diminishing somebody's blackness based off who they choose to vote for or, you know, it's just, it's just weird. It's just a weird
Starting point is 00:17:43 thing to do. Yeah. It is a weird thing. You guys have a unique relationship with your skin color. I mean, America has made it that way, though, right? Yeah, no, of course. It's made it that way. But it is incredibly unique where it's like you're defined by your skin color, not by your culture, because many of you are not familiar with the culture where you come from. And it's this one unifying thing is like this the one thing that you can all agree on is the mistreatment that you go through because of your skin color. It's fucked.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, but you know, it's dangerous with generalizations though, man, because like, you know, I wrote about this in Black Privilege. I talk about how, you know, when I meet new white people, I don't know whether they're friend or foe. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:27 And I'm like, you know, sometimes you got to disarm me by being extreme and walking up to me and saying, hey, I am not a white devil. Now, here's the thing. And people do that. And we try to do that. And we try to do it by saying, hey, did you see blackish last night?
Starting point is 00:18:44 And then you get upset. No, no. Then you get upset, bro. What's the best way? Because that feels like pandering and it feels like, it feels disingenuous. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, like approach me.
Starting point is 00:18:58 If you're a real ally, say, yo, I am not a white devil. Nah, bro. I can't, I can't support that. I get it a lot. I get it a lot. I get white people. will walk up to me in the street. Honestly.
Starting point is 00:19:09 But I asked them to do that in my book. I asked them to do that for me to make me feel comfortable. Yeah, but by the way, if there was a signal, if there was a black signal, right, that I could use when I walk into a space to let people know, hey, man, I come in peace. Like an alien, take me to your leader. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I would do it.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It's called a MAGA hat. Do it. Nah, it ain't just a MAGA hat. But you know what, though, what you said, that's very true, though. Black people have to do things like that. Like, it's certain things. Like, me and Wax have gotten on elevators, right? With one white woman.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Mm-hmm. True story. Sometimes I'll wait for the next elevator. And if I get on and there's no choice, I go out of my way to make that white woman comfortable. I do that with all women, period. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But in particular, that white woman, right? And I just do. Like, you know, there's a certain ways that you move in order to make people around you. comfortable. I think that's an experience that black people have that a lot of other races don't have. I think that's, especially as a black man, that's something that we have to do that I think other races may not have to do. I mean, I've had to do it. You know, if I'm hanging around a lot of black people in a neighborhood I'm not usually at, I have to convince
Starting point is 00:20:24 them then I'm not an undercover or, you know, something like that. So what do you do? Would you mind passing the joint? like a tokevad reefer, huh guys? Yeah, you sound like a fucking undercover coffee. You sound like goddamn Hoyt from training day. I smell a fucking pig, all right? Whose man's is this? Whose man's this?
Starting point is 00:20:55 What if it's all dated references to? It's like, while we're out here, should we play some hopscotch? That seems like a fun game to play, huh? Hey, hey, is that the block where they sell the narcotics? Codics. Okay. Hey, why do we open up one of these fire hydrants and have a little ghetto pool?
Starting point is 00:21:17 See, that's exactly how you know the FBI is in your neighborhood. The FBI has infiltrated you. Okay. I have a question. Oh, man. What's up, Taylor? Come on. Talk to us.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You don't think that's... Sorry, you don't think that's frustrating, though, that you feel like you have to make someone... Pacify situation. Of course is fucking frustrating. That's what America is about. America is about frustration. What's up with us, man? We got to stop acting like we don't know what America is.
Starting point is 00:21:49 It's all frustrating. Everybody in America is frustrated. White, black, Asian, Jewish, gay, transgender, poor, rich. Everybody has some level of frustration. There would be no America without frustration. It's a frustrating country. It's too much freedom for it, not to be frustrating. I would say that it is frustrating,
Starting point is 00:22:12 but the things we're frustrated over are different than many other places in the world. Like here in America, we're frustrated over the idea of, you know, civil rights and the idea of the, you know, the freedom to do as we want and act as we please. And then in other countries, they're frustrated over water. They're like, where's the water? And not having freedom.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Actually being oppressed and margin. being under dictatorships, but that's what I mean. Freedom is frustrating. Yes, yeah, because when you have freedom, you realize there's more shit you want. When you don't have freedom, you're like, all right, well, I guess this is what it is. I'm going to tell you what's even more frustrating, the illusion of freedom. Okay. Because there's certain things we see in America that we know should not be happening based
Starting point is 00:22:58 on what this country tells us. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But that's even more frustrating when you're looking at this thing called the Constitution. Where at one point, you know, black people were labeled as three-fifths of a human in it. And you're being treated as such in the 21st century. That's frustrating.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yeah, 100%. And by the way, it's frustrating for black people because we have to experience it because we go through it. It keeps happening in us over and over. I can also say that it's frustrating for white folks because, you know, contrary to popular belief, I have a lot of white friends. And they're frustrated because they don't know what to fucking do. do. They really don't. Like, they don't know what to do. They don't know how to make this shit
Starting point is 00:23:43 stop. You know what I'm saying? They don't know how to use their privilege to combat prejudice. Like, they want to make a change because they know that they have the privilege. They know that they have the power. They know that they're in these positions to possibly bring about change. And they absolutely have no idea what to do. Like, it's crazy to me when I have white friends who sit me things that they want to post on social media because they want me. me to read it because they don't want it to seem like they're pandering or they don't want it to seem fluffy or they don't want to say, you know, the wrong thing and get backlash for it. Yo, fuck all that. I don't know why we haven't learned that in 2020. Moving politically in any way,
Starting point is 00:24:24 shape, or form is over. Speak your truth. Speak truth to power. Worry about your intention. If your intention truly is as a white person to use your privilege to combat prejudice and you truly are frustrated over what you're seeing, let the spirit move you. Say what the fuck you need to say. Do what it is you need to do. Everybody has to stop with the whole, oh, if I say this, I don't want to upset this person or I don't want to, you know, have the Twitter mob on me, yada, yada, yada, fuck all that. Speak truth to power.
Starting point is 00:24:56 That's it. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Call it what the fuck it is. Somebody got mad at me last night because Donald Trump was celebrating the fact that 20% of the Atlantic got laid off. And I said, I respect that. And they said, why do you respect that? And I said, because I respect the consistency of him always riding against his goddamn enemies.
Starting point is 00:25:27 The fact that people don't like him. and when something bad happens to those people, he says it. He calls it the fuck out right then and there. Right? I don't have a problem with that. You know why? Because he's not being a politician.
Starting point is 00:25:42 He's not being political. He's just speaking from the fucking gut, speaking from the heart. Why the fuck are we afraid to do the same? I don't get it. People don't want to pay the cost. There's a cost. Tell the truth.
Starting point is 00:25:55 I'll eat it all day. Yeah, you might. But a lot of people, Don't want to pay that cost because it's expensive, man. It's really expensive. Isn't it? Yeah, because I think the most important thing to most people is being liked or accepted. I think that is a within our human instincts.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I think that's how you, you know, at some point on like an evolutionary scale, that's how you survive. If you're the outlier in your crew and your tribe or whatever it is, usually they just killed you back in the day. So I think we have this huge fear, right, of not fit. fitting in. I mean, they do all those experiments where they have five people in an elevator and four them turn in another direction. And then the fifth person just turns in the other direction because they're like, hey, I want to fit in too. Right? We want to fit in. It's baked into our DNA. So the fact that you could say something that would make people in your peer group ostracize you in any way, I think that fucking terrifies people. I think they see that, I think they see the courage in the people
Starting point is 00:26:56 that are able to do it because they know that they're fearful of doing it themselves. They don't want to pay the cost, man. I agree with you. I just like consistency. You know what I'm saying? And I like people who can be objective because I pride myself on at least trying
Starting point is 00:27:11 to be able to see things from all sides. So if Donald Trump is celebrating that 20% of, the Atlantic laid off 20% of its employees and this magazine has always said negative things about him. Yep. Can't you understand why he would be happy about that? Time.
Starting point is 00:27:29 We did a whole, we did a whole video this last week. Comedy Central laid off like all their execs. And we did a whole video just celebrating it, dancing on their graves. Why? Why? Why? Why for you? Why? Because Comedy Central is fronied on you.
Starting point is 00:27:42 They fronted on me. They like went so far as to like purposely try to block me out of shows. You know, it was really fucked up. And it was those executives. Now, Comedy Central is just an entity. Whoever runs it is really responsible. But right now, nobody knows those. exact name, so I just give that the name. And hell yeah, we're going to dance on the graves of our
Starting point is 00:27:59 enemies. Fuck you and fuck you always. That's what it is. We applaud as we should when four police officers get fired from that police department in Minneapolis. You know what I'm saying? It's Minneapolis. What the fuck am I saying Minneapolis? Am I saying Minneapolis? It's what? No, it's Minneapolis. You're saying Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Minneapolis. It's Minneapolis. Minneapolis. Minneapolis, the home of Prince, right? Yes. But we celebrate when those officers get fired. We celebrate when Amorosa got fired by Donald Trump, right?
Starting point is 00:28:36 So it's like when you don't like somebody and somebody has been coming at you and, you know, they get laid off or whatever it is. Of course Donald Trump is going to celebrate that. But here's the thing. Fuck all that. I respect the consistency and I respect the honesty of it all. He's not playing politics. All of us are too busy playing politics. Democrats and liberals are still too busy playing politics.
Starting point is 00:29:01 The language of politics are dead. The actions of politics are dead. The actions of politics are dead. You can't sit here and tell me that this is the most dangerous time in America. And this is the most dangerous election coming up in November. And you're not acting like it. You're not acting like it's a clear and present danger? You think it's possible that this is the new politics?
Starting point is 00:29:22 What do you mean? Like you're saying that the Democrats are not, are playing politics and that Donald Trump isn't playing politics. But I think Trump has kind of moved, I don't even know if I would call it forward, but he's moved politics in a different direction. And now this is the new politics.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And Democrats are in the past. Yes, he's bullwerphing this whole shit, man. That's why I keep up, yo, one of my favorite movies of all time is Bullworth. Side note, positively brilliant. Don Chito, bro. I just realized Don Cito is in three of my favorite movies of all times. Avengers Endgame.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Uh-huh. I will argue that from the time the Incredible Hulk snaps with the infinity gauntlet on to the time Tony Stark snaps with the infinity gauntlet on. That might be the best cinema ever made, bro. I'm talking about it. I'm just talking that part of that movie, the whole movie is great. But that part of that movie from when the Hulk snaps to when Tony Stark snap, might be some of the greatest, at least action.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Got to be the greatest action. When does Hulk snap? Have I completely forgotten? When he puts the gauntlet on to bring everybody back? Because he's the only person that can do it because of the gamma rays that exists within his body. Oh, shit. From that point to when Tony Stock snaps
Starting point is 00:30:44 might be the greatest action sequences in a movie ever. That's just the side note. But Don Chito, three movies that he's in my two, three of my top five favorite movies. Avenger's in game. Bullworth and talk to me. I watched Talk to Me last night. I watched Bullworth like a million times
Starting point is 00:31:00 since we've been on quarantine. Donald Trump is bullworthing this whole shit because he's speaking truth to power even if he's lying. Even if he's lying because when he is honest, he's extremely honest. And those honest moments coming to real bullshit that pisses everybody off.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Like retweeting things that are negative about Stacey Abrams or Hillary Clinton, like people calling them names. are celebrating the fact that the Atlantic is, you know, laying off 20% of his people are making mockeries of handicapped folks. Yo, yes, that shit is immoral and it's disgusting and a president shouldn't behave like that. Nobody should behave like that. But it's still refreshingly honest coming from a goddamn president.
Starting point is 00:31:47 You know what I'm saying? It's refreshingly honest coming from a politician. Liberals have to realize the language of politics are dead and they have to start, They have to start bull-warfing motherfuck. Now, you think it's difficult for liberals to do that because their code of conduct is based on morality. And they have to keep intact this morality. So they're kind of handicapped by their own belief system. Like they can't fight.
Starting point is 00:32:18 It's almost like they're engaging in a hand-to-hand combat, but part of their religion is nonviolence. I love what you say. I love what you say. I love that. I love that because you use the right word. I'm not telling them to be immoral. I'm telling them to be honest. Let Trump do all that shit. Let Trump do the immoral shit. I just want you to be honest. I want you to speak truth to power. I want you to say why things are. What do you want them to say that they're not saying? I feel like the only way you can combat Trump is if you're as sensational as him.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And if they get sensational, then they'll be canceling themselves like they already do. Well, get sensational through actions. So give me an example. That's why I can be a example. That's why I keep calling for Joe Biden or just Democrats in general to lean into blackness. And, you know, give me a little moment here. But if you look at the way the world is right now, if you look at, you know, the way coronavirus is impacting black people, right? If you look at, you know, whether it's the Brianna Taylor case where, you know, police officers running to the wrong house, you know, accidentally shoot and kill Brianna Taylor, lock her boyfriend up because of her, you know, boyfriend shot back, even though all this charges are dropped. Thank God for that.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Are you looking at what happened in mini, mini apple? What is it? It's all good, dog. Yeah. You know what I'm trying to say. It's all good, dog. If you saw what happened yesterday, right, this week, if I'm a Democrat, if I'm Joe Biden, I am leaning into blackness in such a way. And this is what I'm saying, because it's all the truth. I'm going to say that America has failed black people historically. I am going to say that, The Democrats have failed black people historically. And you could do it all under the guise of coronavirus
Starting point is 00:34:00 and these killings that are happening, whether it's by white supremacists are through police brutality. And you say that I want to write the wrongs of systemic racism. Yeah, we all know systemic racism existed. We all know that it was a designed system that put black people in this position. So why can't any politician, but specifically a Democrat,
Starting point is 00:34:22 because they get overwhelming support from me, black people, why can't a Democrat stand up and say, we have to fix that? It's a system that needs to be dismantled in America from, from, do you think they're not saying that? I feel like every one of them is saying it. Nah, if they are, they're saying it in a way that the American public is not understanding. I think they're saying it. They're just not any actions behind it. And I haven't heard them say it show. You haven't heard Democrats come out and say, we got to stop police brutality. That's all they've been saying. Yeah, but specifically, listen to what I'm saying. Yeah. specifically say, this how you touch somebody's heart.
Starting point is 00:34:58 America has failed black people. Democrats have failed black people. The coronavirus is impacting the black community because of all the underlying conditions that exist in the black community because of systemic racism. We want to, I want to write those wrongs. It is time for a new America.
Starting point is 00:35:17 We can't go back to what was anymore because what was wasn't working for everyone. This system was designed to work, for the people that it was designed by. It's not working for everybody else. Stand on that soapbox and really, and you're right, champion, you know, call out the issues,
Starting point is 00:35:36 but then put some specific action behind what you're saying and actually do something. Like, think about it. And I'm going to tell you something. Trump is going to do it. I know this sounds crazy. I know this sounds crazy as fuck. I know this sounds crazy as fuck.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I have a feeling Trump is going to come with some type of economic justice plan for black Americas. I know. I think that he is going to blame everything that's wrong with black people on Democrats
Starting point is 00:36:08 because he's already been doing it. Like when he says things like, you know, 20 of the top, 20 of the, 20 of the worst countries in cities in America are ran by Democrats, not black people. 20 of the worst cities in America are ran by Democrats. I think he's going to use this.
Starting point is 00:36:24 opportunity to shin on the Democrats, shit on President Barack Obama, and finesse some of that African-American vote because he wants some of the black male vote. And the black male vote is up for grabs. For the first time, not all of it. No, no, not all of it. But for the first time in my life, I think you see black people being skeptical of what the Democratic Party will do for them or can do for them. This is the first time I've seen any skepticism whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Well, he's smart enough to know you're not getting sisters. There are no black women that are going to ever, I'm not going to say ever vote for Donald Trump, but they vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Like 90% voted for Hillary in 2016. Some of the black male vote, I think that he believes he can finesse a little bit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah. Now the issue with Hillary was the black male vote didn't come out in the same numbers, I think the black female vote did. That's part of it. Do you think that part of that was because black men don't cheat and in no way would they even want to be around another woman so they couldn't support Hillary? Do you think that that's probably what it was about? I want to, I like what you're going with this. And this is a good way to lead into another thing that.
Starting point is 00:37:44 That's how faithful black men are, bro. Real talk? Well, black, black, uh, black. We're calling for a black woman running mate, right? Right. And I know people say that and they think that's identity politics. Politics, yes. Right?
Starting point is 00:38:00 But it's not identity politics. You know what I'm saying? It's just simply looking at the fact that black women are a demo with one of the largest voter turnouts. And if you look at the midterms in 2018, like 55% of all eligible, you know, black women voters voted. Like that's like, I saw the numbers and it's like six percentage points above the national turnout. You know how impressive that is to get more. than half of all an eligible voting block to come out and vote. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:27 55%. And then if you look in 2016, 4.4 million voters who voted for Obama in 2012 stayed home. A third of them were black. But also in 2016, more than 90% of black women voted for Hillary Clinton. So she lost because Democrats still think the white moderate voters are the most valuable voter. So she focused her energy on trying to get them in 2016. That's why she picked Tim Cain. And what did 52% of those white women moderate voters go do?
Starting point is 00:38:52 voted for Trump. So when we're telling you to put a black woman as your running mate, that's not identity politics. That's math. Now let me ask you this question. This is, let's say we're working for the campaign. I would say to you, I'd go, yo, black women voters are incredibly loyal. They're going to come out and vote for us no matter what. So why would we put a black female candidate when we already know we're going to get that vote?
Starting point is 00:39:20 Charlemagne, why don't we put a black male candidate because maybe a black male candidate would be able to get the black men to come out and vote just like the black women who are already going to do it. You said it just now. You know what those sisters are going to do? Those sisters, they're going to make their sons, their grandsons, their husbands, their boyfriends, their uncles.
Starting point is 00:39:45 They're going to make all of them go out and vote. It's a party, baby. Do you like going to a party where there's no women at? No So if all the black women are saying I'm going to vote for this guy Those black women are going to get on the phone They're going to make calls on the candidate's behalf
Starting point is 00:40:00 Why did they do that for Hillary though? I think that It's like they showed the same loyalty They went out there They fucking did it But why didn't Why didn't they make those calls for Hillary And also
Starting point is 00:40:15 I don't know what the black I don't know what the black It's not their job It's not black women's job to get black men to vote, right? But they will, though. That's just what they, that's what sisters do. It's just like if you're, see, you dated a black woman before. Did she not want you to do everything she was doing? I fit, Charlemagne. Does she not want you to do everything she was going? I was there. I want to let you know something. That's a, a woman thing in general. That's just all women. So if my girl could get me to wax my
Starting point is 00:40:50 Pussy, she would. I just don't have a Pussy. Exactly. I asked my Listen, anything we do, we're doing together. All of, you know, all, I've, I got my eyebrows darched because the black women told me to do. I'm a whole fucking thug.
Starting point is 00:41:04 I used to be a whole thug, and I got my eyebrows arched right on the tail end of my thuggedom. Yes. Because two black women told me to do it. Shonaira and Nina, I will never forget them. They weren't related to me, Andrew. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:41:18 I wasn't having any sexual relations with any of them. They were just two friends I used to work with at a telemarketing place, and they gassed me up by using one of the alpha males of blackness, Tupac, and telling me he gets his goddamn eyebrows. Wow. So if you got a household full of black women, a community full of black women, and they're telling you to go out and goddamn vote for this person, that's going to energize you to go vote, especially when they're doing it at church on Sunday over a fucking fish dinner. Yes, yes, you want black women, you want a black woman, you want a black
Starting point is 00:41:51 women running mate because you want those black women supporters and voters to energize your fucking campaign. Black women are the motor of the black community and they will move 100 million,000, 65 trillion percent. I'm with you on it. I trust you on it. My one question would still be if we're in the campaign headquarters. Why the fuck didn't it happen with Hillary? They don't. It's a white woman. They don't what? Oh, maybe that's it. Maybe black women don't want their man going after a frumpy white woman. And shut up, man. I think Hillary might, listen, I don't know what the black male vote is.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Hillary threatened them? You think Hillary threatened black women? You think they're a little skeptical of that big old sweater puppy she had? Hillary had some big bozums at the end of her day, bro. Somebody has to look at the numbers of black male voters for Hillary. I don't know what they were. Someone got to look at her bra size. I think it was them big bazaums, dog.
Starting point is 00:42:54 That big bazaums! Look at Taylor right now. Taylor's in her phone. Sucking her teeth. She's tight. If she didn't have a large black male voter turnout, it probably was because of the 94 crime bill and all of the stuff that was surrounding her with that.
Starting point is 00:43:10 You know what I'm saying? So there was skepticism from black males about her, but you don't think that black males would have the same skepticism of a black woman. you think that they'll like having another black woman. Do you think it's possible any black men are going to go, look, I already got one black woman tell me what to do. I don't need another one in office doing that shit too.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Do you think that's possible? I think that is at all a possibility. I think one thing Joe Biden has going for him is people really don't like Trump that much. And it's not like people are rushing out to vote for Joe Biden. A lot of them are rushing out because they just want to get, Trump out of the White House. You know what I'm saying? So why not put something on your ticket that's going to energize your ticket in a different way?
Starting point is 00:43:58 I'll tell you something else. I love that. I love that. I feel like Democrats, man, after Obama, they should have went blacker, browner, younger, more diverse than gender. Like, how the fuck did we get back here? Well, they did. They tried. And it just didn't resonate to the voter population.
Starting point is 00:44:17 But it's not like they didn't try. It's not like they didn't have. They had Kamala. She was up there and they were putting a lot of money behind her. Kamala. Senator Harris. Kamala. Still might, she might be a good running mate.
Starting point is 00:44:30 I mean, who else would it be, if not Kamala? I saw people saying yesterday on Twitter, they were saying that Charlemagne was a Senator Kamala Harris surrogate. And so he's just putting this pressure on Joe Biden to pick Senator Harris when that I've named numerous people that I think could be the black woman running men. You know, I think Stacey Abrams. You want Stacey Abrams? I didn't say I want. I'm just saying she's qualified. Like Stacey Abrams, Val Demings of Florida.
Starting point is 00:44:59 She's a former police chief in Orlando. She's, I can't remember what position she holds in Florida, but she actually said last week she's being vetted. Keisha Lance Bottoms and Atlanta, Georgia, the mayor of Atlanta. Wait, what is her name? Keisha Lance Bottoms. That's fire. Fire for Atlanta, right?
Starting point is 00:45:16 I'm telling you that's why she won. Vice President Keisha? Doc, we need a vice president Keisha. Oh, I'm not even thinking about the Keisha. I don't think about the bottoms. That's probably excited the hell out of Atlanta. Lance bottoms?
Starting point is 00:45:27 Yo, Lance Bottoms kind of fire too. That's not like a strip club, right? Yo, I'll meet you at Lance Bottoms around one of the a year. Bro, Keisha Lance Bottoms got to be the vice president of America, dog. You know, if the U.S., if the Atlanta census could do like a breakup of how many tops voted for Keisha, I bet you it was so many tops that came out and voted for Keisha. Why?
Starting point is 00:45:51 Because tops love bottoms. Hey. Hey. Hey. So, Keisha Lance Bottoms, bro. Hold on. I got to look this girl up. Yo, Keisha Lance Bottoms?
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah, Atlanta got a man named Keisha, man. And once again, it's not about identity politics with any of them. Like, I think all of them would be amazing. You know what I'm saying? I do particularly like Senator Kamala Harris, though, because she has the political experience. She's smart. She's tough. And most importantly, she makes old white men nervous. Jeff Sessions said out of his own mouth after a Senate hearing, he said out of his own mouth, she makes me nervous. Why do you say that? Have you ever seen Senator Harris in a Senate hearing?
Starting point is 00:46:42 She's a beast or what? Pressure. Pressure. Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure. Pressure. Pressure. I mean, pressure. I mean, pressure. Sure. Yes, exactly. All of that, all that Jamaican comes out. You know, she should have popped up in that versus battle. Just leave one comment. Kamala, leave one comment, yo. Boom, fire, fire.
Starting point is 00:47:05 You know what's that? It's sad that she would do that, but. But she's afraid of being called a pandera. Who is she pandering to herself? She's Jamaican. We do that. to each other because we think
Starting point is 00:47:24 because she's a 50-something year old politician she's not supposed to have other taste. She probably got a mean heel toe, bro. Dude, we need to put some content out with Kamala Harris. Mean heeltoe.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Rice and peas and the ox tail. How old is the head is like 52? Look it up. Yo, you don't think Kamala Harris When that dance hall music comes on, when that vibes cartel hits, you think when the vibes hit, she don't hit a mean thunder clap when the vibes hit, bro? And if she did it, people would be like, she just learned that.
Starting point is 00:48:08 She's only doing it for the campaign. What the blood clot? She's 55. She's 55. She's 55, dog. She grew up in that. She grew up in that era. She went to Howard University.
Starting point is 00:48:20 She was raised in Oakland. Yo, I remember the first time we ever interviewed Senator Harris. Hold on. She says he smokes in there. She was raised in Oakland. Raised in Oakland. She went to Howard University. Went to Howard.
Starting point is 00:48:33 She dated Montel Jordan? Montel Williams. Whatever. No, that's a big difference. Yeah, you're right. Montel Williams, I think, is a Republican, ain't he? No, Montel Williams was like the longest running talk show host ever. I don't know ever, but 17 years.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I think, I'm pretty sure he was conservative. I'm just saying it's a big distance to Monta Williams and this is how we do it. Bro, but if she went to Howard, grew up in Oakland and dated, this is how we do it? Oh, I can tell you, never mind. Wait, wait, wait, no, no, don't.
Starting point is 00:49:07 What are you going to say? What are you got to say? Don't hold back now. I know. Bro, don't hold Keisha Lance Bottoms wouldn't hold back. She spilled that tea. She was spilled at tea. You know, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:49:20 What? I don't know. Charlotte, man. You got a fight. You got to fight. You're wrestling with yourself because you know the content too juicy, bro. You know the content too juicy, dog. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Let me Google. Let me Google. When you Google, you try to see the information's out there. Yeah, I want to see if it's out there before I spill it. Is his hair rising for the hat or is this hot? No, that's just up there. I'm just saying, dog, what would Keisha do? All I'm saying is Senator Harris would be a good VP pick.
Starting point is 00:49:59 But, like, it's a lot of different black women out there. We need to see her personality, bro. Can you let the personality shine? She has to let the personality shine. It's too buttoned up, dog. It's too buttoned up. We need to see the personality shine. Do you remember when Sarah Palin came out of nowhere to be the most famous vice presidential candidate in history off of pure personality? Didn't know anything at all.
Starting point is 00:50:19 It was just pure personality. like Kamala Harris actually knows shit. She actually has experience. And if she got some personality to go with it. You know what, though, this goes back to skin color, right? Because when you are a black woman who has had to, you know, maneuver
Starting point is 00:50:36 the way she's had to maneuver in order to become what she's become, right? She's the second, I think, the first African-American senator ever in California. Like, let's not act like the Senate is not a boys club. and a good old boys club at that. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:50:52 So when you have to maneuver, you know, to get in those positions like, yo, you got to move a different way. You know, you got to do the dance a little bit, you know, but it's all about what you do once you get there, right? Exactly. Now you got to take that shot.
Starting point is 00:51:07 You got one shot at this, you know. You got one shot at this. Let's go. So to your point about the buttoned-upness, you know, if that's how you've had to move, damn near your whole political career. You think that's the way. way. Yeah, it's kind of hard to pivot. You know what I'm saying? That's why I'm trying to get all
Starting point is 00:51:23 of these politicians to know, Democrats especially, the language of politics is dead. Dead. Let that shit the fuck go. Game over. Talk to me the way we talk like how we're talking right now. People will like that shit. If you watch the Biden interview when Biden was about to say, I kicked their at and then he stopped himself, no, motherfucker. Drop it. Let that shit go. You 78. You might die tomorrow. That's right. Like, let that shit the fuck go. What you got? Lose, bro. What you got to lose, man? Let that shit go.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And I get it. Oh, you know, Michelle Obama, when they go, you know, low, we go high. You can still go high and tell a motherfucking truth. You know what I'm saying? You can still call shit for what it is. I'll be honest with you, bro. When someone goes low, you kind of got to go low. Br, you kind of got to go low.
Starting point is 00:52:13 You just got to make sure you win. Fuck all that go high shit. Somebody go low. I feel like dancing, I'm going to take it to the floor with him. I'm going to break them. I'm going to get on my goddamn back. I'm going to do that motherfucking windmill. I'm going to get his, how low can you go?
Starting point is 00:52:27 Let's go. We got a limbo competition? Is that what's going on over here? I'm going, I'm going, baby. If I feel like dancing, I'm going. I reserve the right to be petty as fuck. Yes. If I feel like giving you some attention,
Starting point is 00:52:41 if I feel like giving you some attention and energy, we go limbo, baby. And I'm a win. And I'm a win, because I promise I give less. fucks than you. Have you ever offered to suck somebody's dick in a bet? You don't give a, you don't give less fucks than me. I'm telling you that right now. Okay. So the moral of the story is, just make it and not give a fuck contest. That would be fun, bro. Give a fuck contest, man. And make it. And yo, this is so crazy, right? Like, when it comes to any conversation that you have,
Starting point is 00:53:19 That's the biggest issue with the Joe Biden interview. The biggest issue with the Joe Biden interview was the lack of, I think, respect he showed the platform. I think he knew it was a platform he had to do. But I don't think he approaches Anderson Cooper that way. Do you think it's because... Do you think it's because,
Starting point is 00:53:40 and I'm giving you credit here, like, Anderson is maybe... is more like, I'm going to do my media-trained interview with Anderson because Anderson is traditional media and he is media-trained. Whereas you're actually having a real conversation with someone. So we got to see something that Biden would really say. And in his defense, I don't think he meant it in a racist way. I thought that he thought he was connecting with you.
Starting point is 00:54:09 And that's a joke that he would make if you guys were at the bar and you're talking about politics. And he just happened to make it on one of the biggest platforms. on the planet. It was a great, great, great, great granddad joke. Yes. Like, we know how bad dad jokes. Yes. Yes. Can you imagine what great, great, great, great granddad jokes sound like? Honestly, they're usually a little bit more racist. A little more racist. A nice little tinge of slavery. You know what I'm saying? A little salt. A little salt bay of bigotry. You know what I'm saying? A little salt bay of bigotry.
Starting point is 00:54:46 You know? And was that his intention? No. No. He's 78 years old. And I'm not making an excuse for that white man whatsoever. He got to wear that shit. He own that shit.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I'm just telling you I get it and I understand it. The good thing about Biden is he's already forgot about it. So we don't have to worry about that whatsoever. People are going to say, people are going to say, how do you feel about the Breakfast Club interview? who's like, I was interviewed during breakfast? What the fuck you said? We had a whole interview during breakfast, baby.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Hold on. There's a breakfast club now? I've been in the Senate for 50-something years. I never knew it was a breakfast club. Well, let's get some hotcakes then, sweetheart. It's very interesting. I'll tell you another good dynamic, too. I was watching the view.
Starting point is 00:55:35 My OG Jim Clyburn. Slu to Congressman Jim Clyburn. Byrne, most powerful black person in Congress, period. Right? Yeah. The person who, like, let's be clear, he won the election for Joe Biden. He won the primaries for Joe Biden. When Senator, when, you know, O.G. Clyburn got up there and he endorsed Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:56:01 That changed the tide of Joe Biden's election. Who is this guy? What's his name? Jim Clyburn, South Carolina. Jim Clyburn. Okay. Big dog. on the view yesterday. And, you know, they asked him,
Starting point is 00:56:14 Sonny, salute to Sunny. Sunny asked him about, you know, is a black woman VP a must? Because he once said that it wasn't a must. And OG Jim Clyburn said, well, I'm not into telling people what they must do. I'm into telling people what they should do. He said that, you know, he was married for 50-something years and him and his wife never told each other what they must do. They told each other what they should do. I agree with that. But I did. disagree because white people in this country have been telling black people what they must do for years, right? And so now that black people are telling Joe Biden what he must and should do
Starting point is 00:56:51 in order to make sure that he secures the black vote in November, I don't see a problem with that. I think that's what you're supposed to do when you're a citizen of the United States of America. I think that your vote to quit pro quo and you should put demands out there and you should get them back. But Dana Bass asked Joe Biden, about that on CNN yesterday. And she said, Charlemagne says that, and please add this Taylor. After your interview with the Breakfast Club, Charlemagne told CNN that he thinks a black woman as a running mate is necessary. Well, Charlemagne's really entitled to his own opinion.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Okay. There's others. For example, I just was Jim Clyburn, was just on the view. And he said it's not necessary. So, you know, it's, I'm going to pick the best person that I, look, you've watched me and you've covered me as vice president. I think the two most important things are you've got to pick someone who's compatible with you, both in terms of your style and my style and Barack's are very different, but they were compatible. They work with one another. And someone who, in fact, you would want to be the last person in the room when you're making a tough decision and who will be loyal in the sense that whatever disagreement.
Starting point is 00:58:10 you have are between you and the president at that moment. And his mind, I was thinking he was saying, this niggil, this little niggas, why the fuck are you asking me about this little mother? But he said, hey, Jim Clyburn says it's not necessary. So that was interesting to me, right, because it's a, it's a, it's a different dynamic, right? It's OG Jim Clyburn and then it's 40-something year old me, two different generations of South Carolina, you know, probably looking at this city. situation from two different ways. Because I explained to y'all why I think a black woman running mate would help energize Joe Biden's campaign.
Starting point is 00:58:48 But I can also see why Jim Clyburn would say, I'm not into telling people what they must do. Because one thing I've realized, you know, over the past few years is politicians have egos. Huge ego. And a lot of these ideas can't be floated in public. and the reason they can't be floated in public because when VP Biden picks his running mate or BP Biden decides to do
Starting point is 00:59:19 X, Y, and Z, whether it's an economic justice plan for black America, VP Biden wants to look like he did it. All politicians want to look like they did it. You know what I'm saying? They don't want to look like it was pressure. They don't want to look like it was done under duress, like it was a demand. They don't want to do
Starting point is 00:59:37 none of that. They just want to want to make it seem like it came from them. So I get it. You know what I'm saying? I get it. I understand why, you know, he feels the way that, you know, he feels. And I hope that they respect we the people when we express how we feel. You know what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, you said this to me once. Politicians work for us. It's about the people. We the people. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, love the fact when Mr. Biden and Mr. Clyburn get together and they share ideas amongst each other. But if they're doing what they think they should be doing just amongst the political
Starting point is 01:00:24 circle, they're not listening to the people. If you're not listening to the people and you're not presenting something to the people that the people need, how do you expect we, the people don't want to support you come election time? It's just that simple for me. Yeah, that makes sense. It makes sense. And if you want to give the people something that they don't think that they need, you first need to convince them that they need it. Yeah. That is the point of democracy, right?
Starting point is 01:00:55 You're not a tyrant. It's like you have an obligation to your supporters to convince them that the pathway to progress is through this idea you have. But you first have to get them to agree to that idea. I guess what I would say when it comes to the black female running, mate is for me, I think the best course of action is convincing Biden and the powers that be that that's the best thing for winning because of the math, not the best thing for winning because of identity politics. Because I think you lose a lot of people on identity politics. I think
Starting point is 01:01:29 Democrats have been trying to run on identity politics for a long time and it haven't really been successful. So say, hey, we want a black female VP for the same reason Trump wanted a religious old white guy because Trump wasn't religious so they needed a religious guy and Biden is not getting support from the black community like he should and if that is
Starting point is 01:01:54 the community that can turn this election then shit target them. Absolutely. That's why I said it's not about identity politics. It's about math. I think that's smart. It's math but even when they do grab like they want Amy Klobuchar, why do you think they want Amy Klobuchar? Why do you want her because she's a white? Can someone explain Amy Klobuchar?
Starting point is 01:02:10 Obuchar to me. I don't know a single point that she has. I don't know a single policy. I don't know what she does. Somehow she made it to the end of the primary. She's got to- Oh, that was money. That was money. Say what? That was money. Yeah, but who, how does she have money? I mean, people were donating to it. But why? So I think they put her there for a reason. Like, I think they kept her around for a reason. They want to give her as much visibility as possible, maybe because they were thinking about slotting her in in that VP role. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And maybe now that's been thrown up. But like, there's no way. that she could be in every single debate and have not a single meaningful line
Starting point is 01:02:45 in any debate and still manage to stick around, she has to be propped up by the party. They have to be propping her up. They want her, you know, they want her because she can get those white, moderate women that they lost with Hillary.
Starting point is 01:03:03 They think that she can help with that. So it's the same thing. It's still identity politics is just a different identity. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, Joe Biden put himself in these, these corners by saying, I want a female running mate, are committing to a black woman on the Supreme Court. So now we're going to hold you the task.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Now I'll go all the way with it, baby. Matter of fact, let's get us a black secretary of treasury too and a black secretary of education. Since black people are at the bottom in economics and education, let's put some people in there that may work on behalf of our benefit in a real way. Because let's be clear, everybody always says, if black people are, are doing good, that means America is doing great. I feel like that. You know, it's interesting, the black female judge on the Supreme Court, you know that's a lifelong position, right?
Starting point is 01:03:50 Yes, indeed. Black women live a long time. I don't even know if black women die, bro. Have you ever witnessed that? Nah, my grandma, but she was ready to go. But they can live a long time, dude. That is a lot. We're going to have a Supreme Court justice for a.
Starting point is 01:04:09 long time, dude. That's good. Your aunt lived to 104 years old. And dude, that's eating cheese whiz a few times a week, man. Exactly. What was she shaped like, Taylor? What was she shaped like? Does this shape of yours run in the family?
Starting point is 01:04:26 First of all, what is the shape I have? Let me know. I mean, slight pair, slight Liberty Bell, but that's only because of quarantine. Only because of quarantine. Liberty. I have a honey, right? Now you mean you want to take this all.
Starting point is 01:04:38 You said you what? I have a hoodie on. You're wearing all black for a reason, Taylor. It's fine. I wear black all the time. Stop. Taylor, Cardi B made it okay yesterday. She showed her stomach on Instagram.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I thought that was so cool at Cardi, man. That shit was hilarious. The extra 15 in quarantine. We get it. Taylor, it's okay. Listen, I have to say Taylor came into the studio. She looked fantastic. I bet Taylor won't walk behind that camera again.
Starting point is 01:05:05 I saw her walk the first time. I bet she won't do it again. I'm not going to lie when she walked by... Wobobob baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby. Get in there. Yeah, yeah, get in there. Yeah, yeah, get in there. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Get in there. Yeah. It was fucked up, bro. When she walked by, Alex went fee, five, four, fum. I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe. Leave it, bro. Bro, was it over for the...

Starting point is 01:07:29 I think it's clear that we thought that, you know, what Joe Biden did was fucking idiotic. You know what I'm saying? Okay, I got you. So positively brilliant.
Starting point is 01:07:38 was the interview itself, the way it affected the news cycle, and what a fucking idiot was what Joe Biden said? Yeah. But I mean, listen, like I said, I can always see both sides of situations. I don't, you know, it's hard for me to call something. No, it's not hard for me to call something stupid. I can call something stupid. But I can also call it stupid and then say, see why it was said.

Starting point is 01:08:31 You did? You told me that she's saliva that you put in a little. Can I go scrape tin foil, construction? Spiracy theory. Please, please. I was with wax over the weekend. I was with wax over the weekend hanging out on a boat. You was in Orlando, Al?
Starting point is 01:08:45 Yeah. You flew? Yeah. Tell me about that experience. Flying. I was fully masked and gloved up and wiped everything down before I sat there. Airplane was packed? Yeah, the airplane.
Starting point is 01:08:58 There wasn't a single MTC. See, I'm pussy. I wanted to fly to South Carolina this week, but I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't risk taking all the kids and all that. I'm pussy. I can't do it. I'm just not,
Starting point is 01:09:10 I'm not ready for that shit. Now, by the end of June, by the end of June, I'm gonna be like them motherfuckers in Camden, New Jersey. I'm telling you that shit right now. People are ready, bro. Yeah, what's up?
Starting point is 01:09:20 I feel like, though, that, like, the people I've come among, if you're saying, because I was saying to you, like, I want to go to Florida near the end of June, too, whatever. But some people are against it, like, oh, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:09:31 like you're trying to get killed. I feel like, and then the ones that don't care about it or this one to go, they're labeled as like Trump supporters and the other one. That's what they're giving me. We've politicized it, for sure. I agree with you with like, the people who are like,
Starting point is 01:09:45 I want to travel, I want to go out of all of a sudden become Trump supporters. I think what they're trying to tell and tell is to get a reg, get a MAGA. Baby suit. Red, one piece baby soup. Yeah. They don't want you to go to Florida in your present physical condition.
Starting point is 01:09:59 When they said people are going to kill you, they mean on Instagram when you post a picture. Charlemagne. Yeah. What? Stop saying that. What? What?
Starting point is 01:10:09 What? I mean I love you. I'm not fat. I didn't say you was fat. Nobody said fat. You did describe her using a fruit that is not skinny. It's not like you call her a banana. A pair could be curvy or lumpy depending on your perspective.
Starting point is 01:10:33 That's true. That is true. Liberty Bell. depends which way you look at it. If you look at it upside down, it's big at the top. Excuse me. I would like to be shaped as a plastic Coke bottle. Now, this was the weirdest thing I've ever heard.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Taylor just goes, I would like to be shaped as, and then she goes, a plastic Coke bottle. Because if I said a Coke bottle, y'all, I'm like, oh, they can. No, we would have thought the bottle, because you said bottle. That's true. When I think of plastic Coke bottles, I think of, when I think of plastic Coke bottles, I think of the goddamn three-liter. Those three-leaders are. They're about your height.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Just the circle straight down. Yep. And they're about your height. And they're just big and round. So what size Coke, Coke plastic bottle are you? You want the glass bottle. Yeah. You with the bod-A.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Yeah. Yeah. Hate you. And we're not fat-shaming, Taylor, I know. We're just extra 15 pound. No, there's no. First of all. Tell the truth tale.
Starting point is 01:11:37 How much you gained during quarantine? Be honest. Before quarantine or I don't, I just started working out last month. Oh, so you had to lose some pounds? No, I just like to be fit. I like to work out. I just didn't have time. I hate it.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Well, congratulations. Why did I get involved in this? Because you. I'm defending him. I'm not egging him. Am I, am I, am I, am. Does she look like an egg? A Twitter egg, yes she knows.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Listen, we love young Liberty Bell. You stop! Liberty Bell is fucking amazing. Liberty Bell is amazing. You know it's going to be funny when she does go to Florida and she posts her little nasty-ass thirst traps on the gram, somebody going to be like,
Starting point is 01:12:26 yo, Liberty Bell, let me see that crack. That's what? They're all going to get black too You know Young Liberty Let me see that crap Everyone that's going to follow Charlamine
Starting point is 01:12:39 Just get with me To get black I was thinking how to fit the crack in And I didn't I was like I'm throwing it I said you did too Because the Liberty Bells in Philly
Starting point is 01:12:51 You're good Charlaman Taylor listen You're going to Florida for real Um yeah Probably maybe I didn't book it yet But I want to go to South Carolina People are going out
Starting point is 01:13:02 People are going out Memorial weekend said it You see And you know what's mad funny is that White and black You know what's funny is that like People in New York Like we're here judging other people
Starting point is 01:13:12 For going out right But we're in the dangerous part Right You know what I'm saying So if we leave New York To go to the safe shit We're good My brother just went to the zoo
Starting point is 01:13:22 Over the weekend To the zoo? Yeah He has a family And the zoo's open? Ain't that the reason why we got He didn't South Carolina The first place
Starting point is 01:13:32 Hanging out with bats and shit like that The fuck y'all trying to do. I think one thing we don't take into consideration, man, is that, yo, man, if you're in a one bedroom apartment or a two bedroom apartment, that ain't like the greatest place to quarantine. I mean, I don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 01:13:48 That's my life. What are you talking about we don't take into consideration? I've been considering it every day for the last two months. The fuck you talking about, bro? It's only, There's only but so many times you can open that window to get some air. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:14:03 Yes, I know what you're saying. You open to that window and want to slide out that bitch. That's what I'm saying. I get it. Like, I could not imagine living in a congested-ass city like New York or Detroit or Chicago and like you're in this apartment all day. Like, yo, the South is much better because you got a yard and you got your backyard. Even in L.A., you can go for a nice long drive.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Like, what are you doing New York? Walk to the fucking bodega. Mm-hmm. Walk down the block. I love New York with no people in it. It's amazing. You take a walk. Nobody's out.
Starting point is 01:14:35 It's incredible. I heard the rats. I heard the rats ain't bullshit. Nah, the rats are tight right now, bro. There's no food, bro. I heard they are not playing. The homeless people moved out. I don't know where they went.
Starting point is 01:14:49 But they moved. They did. There's no homeless people on the street anymore. I don't see any homeless people. Really? They're on a train? What? I haven't been riding a train, to be honest with you.
Starting point is 01:15:02 All I know is, man, I have a conspiracy theory. This is a straight tinfoil hat. All right, go. It is just, if I didn't know people who personally died from coronavirus, I would absolutely be one of those people who would be believing that this shit was a hoax. Can I, can I, can I add something to that conspiracy theory? Uh-huh. I think the media is aware.
Starting point is 01:15:27 that they might have exaggerated the severity of the virus. And I think that they are, I think the reason why they've leaned in so much to these past few events that we've seen, these racists, you know, the racist, horribly racist events. But I think the reason why they've transitioned completely away from coronavirus and into these racist events is because they're like, we need something else. Let's slowly move. Let's slowly move Corona to the beauty.
Starting point is 01:15:57 PRC store. Now we're talking. Because think about it. We, they literally switched, they switched, right, the whole thing was
Starting point is 01:16:05 thousands of people are dying and we've had 100,000 deaths, 100,000 deaths, this, this, that they are. And now the only thing you see all across media is the death of George Floyd in.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Floyd had it was on that Aubrey. Yeah. And even the Arbery thing you haven't seen brought up that much anymore. It popped up for a week and then it was gone. And obviously that crazy white bitch
Starting point is 01:16:25 in a park, right? That is dominating the storylines right now. And I haven't heard anything about coronas at all. Fauci, not even talking. Fauci's not talking. Trump's still doing the daily press. I said, daily press briefings, but they're not covering them like they used to.
Starting point is 01:16:43 It's just weird to me that they need a new story, I think hoax is the wrong word. I lean more into what you said because, yes, I feel like they didn't know what coronavirus was. And I think that the world reacted the way they should. should have. They shut everything to fuck down. Air on the side of caution.
Starting point is 01:17:00 That's what they say. Air on the side of caution. If it cost us a few weeks with the economy, so the fuck be it. But I think after they started doing more antibody tests and realizing that more people actually had it than they originally thought, so that led them to believe,
Starting point is 01:17:15 led them to know based off science that it wasn't as fatal as they once thought it was. I think that's what kind of eased all the powers that be's tension about the situation. But you don't scared the fuck out of America, right? And I don't believe anybody because I'm still doing it. I'm not coming back out until I know it's safe to come to fuck back out in a real way.
Starting point is 01:17:37 I don't know what that will be for me. I don't know if it's just watching a bunch of people out over a span of a month or so or making sure the hospitals don't get overwhelmed or vaccine treatment. I don't know what the fuck it will be. All I know is I'm not personally coming out until I see that it's totally safe for me and my family. I'm not there yet because y'all scared me. Y'all scared me half the fucking death. I'll be honest to you,
Starting point is 01:18:01 well, I've been out. I've been out. I went bar hopping last week. I get it. I get it. There's some drinks outside the bars and restaurants in my neighborhood. So I just went from one to the next one. If I could go out to dinner tonight, I would. I've been calling comedy clubs in New York City. They can't open for legal reasons.
Starting point is 01:18:20 But I'm like, yo, let's just do a secret show. Like, I'm itching. I'm ready to get back out. I'm about to look and maybe book some shows. shows on the road for states that are already open because I know they're starting to break it. They're starting to like allow live shows and stuff to happen. So I'm ready to get back into this thing, man. We got to go back to a normal life sooner or later. And honestly, people need to see people like you and me going to do these normal things so they feel
Starting point is 01:18:42 comfortable doing them. Well, they're not going to see me doing it. And by the way, I'm a homebody. And I've been a homebody. So this is heaven for me. You know what I mean? But I just think it's weird that shit can go from threat level 10. Right. And then two weeks later, everybody and their mother because let's not act like this is just a Republican thing, right? Like California's reopening up. New York is partially reopening.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Like 40, all 50 states, I think, at this point are partially partially reopened. So I just don't understand how everything goes from, don't leave a house two weeks ago to, okay, you can leave the house under these guidelines. It's just a little, it's just like a little strange
Starting point is 01:19:22 because the threat isn't gone. They just realized, Like, yo, if you look at like, and granted, I'm sure Elon Musk has his own reasons why he wants to open shit up, right? But he understands his power and he understands his reach and he understands probably, you know, his voice and what that means. When you see him nonstop tweeting almost throughout this entire thing, but definitely within the last month, like, you know, let's get a real look at these death warrant certificates. Let's get a real look at the numbers. Let's get a real look at who's actually dying from Corona, who's not.
Starting point is 01:19:51 When he's that skeptical and willing to go on a public platform, like Rogan and Schen and shit and talk about it. That's how you know there might be some fuck shit at hand. Now, I agree, err on the side of caution, but when you realize that you were maybe a little overly cautious, it's okay to back that up and say, hey, guys, we could crack it open now. You're safe. Everything's okay. But are you safe, though? That's my point. Like, how, why are we any safer today than we were two, than we weren't two weeks ago? Like what, like what? Okay, what not, Chris? Chris, talk to us, live from Wuhan. What's going on?
Starting point is 01:20:28 Social distancing worked. Unfortunately, it gave us a pause against this thing. We should have used the pause to radically ramp up testing and tracing, and we haven't really taken advantage of that. So now the tell is going to be what happens three weeks from now. I hope that this thing is petered out on its own, but there's no real reason to believe that's happened. Now, have we not, have we really not ramped up on testing?
Starting point is 01:20:54 because I know I'm doing, I'm actually doing a few testing. My understanding is we've tested 15 million people and that's more than any other country in the world. That's not a lot, though. Not per capita. We still rank, we're like 25th or 30th per capita. Yeah, it's 340 million people in America. That's not a lot.
Starting point is 01:21:13 That does nothing. I mean, I think in New York City right now, from my understanding, it's becoming much easier to get a test. And the rest of the country, it's still extremely difficult to get a test. So until you know who has this thing, I don't think we radically changed this position we were in a couple months ago. It's just the social distancing worked.
Starting point is 01:21:33 If everybody runs back out again, we're going to see what happens. Now, to me, you know, you can politicize it, but at the end of the day, you know, what I've been saying, this isn't LeBron versus Michael. It's a hypothetical question. We're going to know the answer in a couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Either people came out to a world, they didn't. And if it turns out that for whatever scientific reason, this thing has lost momentum on its own, that's beautiful. And then let's keep going.
Starting point is 01:22:00 But I just don't think we've had any real reason to believe that it's, quote, unquote, safe right now. Do we think, do we feel like there's any credence to herd immunity and the heat being at a summertime and everybody gets back out there and being around each other? You think some herd immunity is a real thing. I mean, the heat may be a real thing. But I don't know. So there's some studies that saying that the mask and the social distancing might not have done anything to help at all. You know, this might just be the course that the virus took and maybe less people were able to get infected by it than we thought. And obviously the most densely populated places, places like New York, where you have people together on a subway and you have mass groups of people in incredibly tiny spaces, 10 people sharing an elevator every morning going to work.
Starting point is 01:22:47 right? Like you have these huge apartment buildings where you have thousands of people living in one building sharing a five by five elevator. Of course, you're going to have more transfer of that. Where in Georgia, like you said, or South Carolina, it's like, yeah, you might bump into one person at Walmart. And you're probably going to stay a few feet away from them anyway. So you're just not going to have as many interactions where you're like tightly close in breathing the same air. Yeah. Hey, listen, if it happens to where the virus does, you know, just, you know, just, magically disappear. And yo, Sylvia Brown and Donald Trump were right.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Sylvia Brown is psychic. You know, she predicted the coronavirus. You know, she wrote a book. I think it came out. I don't know when the book came out. It was like early 2000s. But she said in around 2022, a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe,
Starting point is 01:23:39 attacking the lungs and the bronchal tubes and resisting all known treatments, almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely. Sylvia Brown said that.
Starting point is 01:23:58 That's in a book that she came out in like, I think it's the year 2000. That could be coronavirus or R. Kelly. What? Do you think the lines help? Chris, do you think the lions help like waiting outside the grocery store? Because I don't think that it worked.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Like people, they're making people wait outside of stores to go in, I guess, to lower the capacity, whatever. But I don't feel like that does anything because they're still not that separated in the line. And it's not like they're cleaning down the store when someone new comes in. Do you think that's... I mean, I think the biggest thing that we've learned, and I think the thing that's tricky with this is it shifts all the time is you're much more likely to pick this up indoors than outdoors. I think outdoors, the way the wind works, it blows away the particles. If you do a little social distance thing and wear a mask outdoors,
Starting point is 01:24:57 I think you've got a pretty good shot. I think the place you're really in danger is sustain periods, indoors, breathing, recycled air, which is like, you know, when you said you weren't flying to South Carolina, I was like, that's a good choice. I would be really worried about taking a plane. right now. Taylor, I'd be wearing a mask if I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But like anytime you're inside with people, I think that's when you're at the greatest risk. And I think when you're outside, you know, the wind's going to do what it does. It blows it away. You're less likely
Starting point is 01:25:30 to ingest it because I think what they're learning is surface contamination is much less of a threat than actually inhaling this stuff. Interesting. Al, you've been you've been on top of this. What do you think? It was interesting to see what Sweden did. Yeah. Sweden didn't have a lockdown. Okay. The way we had it. Right. And so right now they're up to 30% herd immunity. So 30% of people have it, wait a minute. Immunity to. Yeah. So it's like, and that's more than any other country. But they also took a harder hit initially. So at first we were clowning them like, oh, you didn't do it. And now you have a lot of old people dying. But now their numbers are kind of dwindling down the same way, however, all the countries who did lockdown are dwindling,
Starting point is 01:26:17 but they have their achieving higher. Yeah. Interesting. So it's like, we'll probably have the same amount of deaths. We're just going to spread them out over a longer period of time where they were like, okay, we'll just take the deaths. If it's going to be the same amount of deaths regardless, we'll just take those deaths early on and then not kill the economy in a process and not kill.
Starting point is 01:26:38 So that's a way smarter, but it's a risk because it couldn't have happened that. way and it could have been really bad. Yeah. They just roll the dice and it ended up working. Interesting. Okay. Okay. I don't know, guys.
Starting point is 01:26:50 I don't know guys. And I'll always go with Camden. Whatever Camden is doing, bro? That's my moral compass, dog. And the thing, I'm not in a rush. It's summertime. I'm cooling. I'm not in a rush to do anything.
Starting point is 01:27:07 I'm going to just sit back and hope for the best. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, uh, praying that any of this is wrong. I don't want to make anybody look bad. I hope that this works out for the best, right? Like, I'm not, like, I don't like people that politicize these things, right? I understand why they do it because we're in a presidential election year. So, yes, you want to make your opponent look bad as possible, but nobody should be hoping this shit don't work.
Starting point is 01:27:32 Yes, 100%. You know what I'm saying? We don't want more people to die. We don't want more people to be sick. Yes, we want the economy to get back popping because I'm going to tell y'all something. that's the worst thing. Like that is one thing that, you know, Trump and a lot of other people said that was very true.
Starting point is 01:27:46 And they said that, you know, don't let the, um, yeah, don't let the solution be worse than the problem. I don't let the cure be worse than the disease, whatever the fuck it is, because I'm going to tell you something, man, when you have a country right now where people don't think they're getting justice, when, you know, there's no empathy,
Starting point is 01:28:06 there's no compassion, you know, when you see police killing folks, when you see white supremacists killing folks, when you see, you know, white women in the park, you know, fucking with birdwatchers and killing dogs, right? On top of an economy that's fucked up and people don't have no jobs and they can't eat, bro.
Starting point is 01:28:27 And you take it my dignity away? It gets dangerous. Bro, that shit is a, this ain't even a ticking time bomb. It's just only a matter of time. There's an expression. I think it was with the Roman, Empire. Chris, you can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but just give them a circus and bread
Starting point is 01:28:44 or give the people bread and circus and they'll stay calm to matter the situation. Something like that, Chris, does that make sense? Bread and circus, absolutely. Once you stop giving us bread, which is the economy's down and we can't go to work and nobody can make money, and you stop the circus, which is, hey, there's no sports going on, right? There's no live entertainment. There's not a lot of shit happening. So now the end. entertainment factor is gone and we don't get the food, you're going to have people in a very hostile mood and they're going to be eager to be radicalized. It does not matter what the thing
Starting point is 01:29:20 they're radicalized towards is. They will be radicalized. So motherfuckers better figure shit out. And if you have, and if you got people already at the end of they rope, do you really think that they're going to sit around and continue to watch, you know, a police officer sit there with his knee and somebody's neck. You already like fucking. I ain't got shit to lose anyway. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:29:44 The world coming to a fucking in anyway. My kids ain't a-in-munt. Fuck you. Like, what you think gonna happen? Like, I'm actually, when we finish this podcast, I'm about to post a Tupac video. It's actually two of them I want to post. One of them, I'm way too pussy to post.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Send it to me. T. I actually sent it to T. T.I. I posted it. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna send it to tell it and insert I'm gonna let you hear it
Starting point is 01:30:11 because this is the reality of the situation Hold on All my shit is positive All my shit is positive That's the white man got you thinking my shit is negative and positive Because it tells niggas to swing back It tells sisters to swing back
Starting point is 01:30:26 And it tells niggots to swing back If that ain't positive Crack don't sell You got me You feel me That's positive White people got you believing Just because I'm telling the nigger
Starting point is 01:30:35 To stop getting his hand kicked him by the police to take the gun he would use to shoot his brother in a second and kill the motherfucking cop that's killing you, your family, and everybody else on the block. You know what I'm saying? Kill that motherfucker. That is not insane. That is sane and straight like a motherfucker. That's positive like a motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Because from where I'm standing, that would save a black family. You know what I'm saying? But from where they're standing, that would keep another motherfucker off welfare and keep another motherfucker shooting at cops, crooked cops that be trying to shoot us down. So fuck them. It's all positive. Everything I do is positive God damn. And I'm going to tell you why
Starting point is 01:31:14 I'm too pussy to post that. I'm too pussy to post that because I don't think people will understand the nuance in what Tupac is saying. I understand nuance. Tupac said crooked cops that are shooting at you and killing you and
Starting point is 01:31:30 everybody else on the block. Like that is a very specific set of people that he's talking about. He's not talking about all police officers, right? And even if you don't agree with what Pock is saying, you're not dealing with the reality of the situation because the reality of the situation is eventually it's going to come to that. It just is. Like, when you have an economy that is fucked up and people not eating and people don't have no jobs and now you're taking people's dignity away like literally just taking their dignity away got him on the middle of the street you got your knee in his neck he can't breathe he's
Starting point is 01:32:09 peeing on himself and you just like fuck it what do you think what do you think's going to eventually happen like how much longer do you think that you can do that to a people and they will not react with violence honestly not much longer dude you're shocked that hasn't happened already i'm a little bit shocked. Like, deep inside me, I'm thinking Tupac, like Tupac with, like, doesn't that make you go first off? Fuck your, you know what I mean? Like, well, first of all, the reason I respect Pock and, and, you know, another reason I'm too pussy to post that I like people that practice what they preach. Pock actually did that. Yeah. Pock was in Atlanta and saw two white guys beat. beating up on somebody.
Starting point is 01:33:03 I don't even know if they were white. I think they were white. I think it was two white guys beating up on somebody. And he jumped out of the car. They pulled guns on him. He pulled out his guns and shot both of them. They ended up being cops.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Like undercover cops. So Pop was practicing what he was preaching. Pock was the type of person that wasn't going to stand there and watch those cops do that to that brother in Minneapolis. You know what I'm saying? And that's the other thing that bugs me out. Like, you know, don't tape the brother. Help the brother.
Starting point is 01:33:30 Yeah. God damn. That's weird. Like, don't tape the brother, help him. Don't tape them sit and keep saying, you'll get off him, get off him. Man, listen, go push the fucking cop, yo. You might have to take that L.
Starting point is 01:33:43 You might have to get maced. You might have to get fucking hit with a baton. You might have to get shot. Whatever. I don't fucking know. It's just a got to come a point in time where human compassion and human empathy has to take over, bro.
Starting point is 01:33:55 I understand the fear. I totally fucking get it. I understand why you're terrified. I totally. I totally fucking get it. But guess what? Eventually, it's going to be your turn anyway. Based off what I'm seeing.
Starting point is 01:34:09 Because if they're allowed to do that and get away with that in Minneapolis, what's going to happen in the next city? What's going to happen in the next state? We've seen this a million times already. Like, how many more times are you going to witness this shit? You understand? I don't know, bro.
Starting point is 01:34:27 Yeah. I don't know what you expect from people. I really don't. I really don't know what this country, what these police officers, what these white supremacists, I don't know what they expect from people. That's why I'm encouraging all my brothers and sisters to go out there and practice your Second Amendment rights. Go out there and buy as many legal firearms as you possibly can. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:34:46 And learn how to shoot. And by the way, tell you all something else, all you rich privileged motherfuckers, black or white, you better be spending some money on security in front of your homes in front of those gated communities. you better be spending money on your guns and whatnot because all of those hungry people that you're ignoring, all of these hungry people that you're acting like that ain't your problem.
Starting point is 01:35:08 Oh, that's going to be your problem in a minute. They're going to be at your front door. You know why? Because that's what a fool at. That's what a food at. And when it's a food shortage in America and they can't get food at the grocery store and they tie to stand it in these long motherfucking lines,
Starting point is 01:35:24 guess where they're coming? They're coming right into your neighborhood. I've heard tons of, you know, people that I know that are privileged and rich who I love and respect have told me all types of stories about people riding through their neighborhoods lately. You know what I'm saying? And they don't know why those people are here. Why those folks are there?
Starting point is 01:35:49 I do. Yeah, but I mean, like, what do they always say? Like, with nature, right? It's like the polar bears come down to the town where there's no food. up in the mountain. You know what I mean? The sharks come to the shore when there's no fish in the sea. And it's like, people need to eat. They're not just going to sit there and die. They're going to take your food before they go and just not feed their family. I get it. I would not be surprised. I would not be surprised. I get it. I don't know, man. Let's pay a bill, man. Let's pay a bill.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Pay some bills. Um, guys, get your dicks hard, man. No, but for real, man, you need a hard dick, especially during quarantine. You might be coming out of quarantine.

As far as what? As far as deep dive or as maybe doing some asking idiots, do you want to describe Taylor's body some more? How would you like to finish this episode?
Starting point is 01:38:12 I think that was a deep dive. Shit you won't care about next week, man. I don't care about shit this week other than the stuff that we've discussed. And then I will be caring about that next week. It is true. I know the NBA is coming back. Is that a fact? I don't know if it's a fact, but they've already started practicing.
Starting point is 01:38:33 And they're scouting out Orlando, I believe. I think Orlando for the East Coast. And I think West Coast maybe Vegas. Vegas. Yeah. And then, yeah. I think that they're saying how they want to get right to the playoffs. I don't think they should do that. I think it was only like, I'm not mistaken, 20-something games left anyway.
Starting point is 01:38:53 Yeah, maybe less. Maybe less. Something like that. But few, 12 or some shit? Yeah. Let all the teams play those, right? Okay. For one reason and one reason only.
Starting point is 01:39:02 Okay. To get everybody back in game shape. Yeah. And then... I don't want to see those fat fucking playoffs, bro. Yeah. And then there's no asterix, too. There's no asterisk.
Starting point is 01:39:11 If you let everybody play the rest of the games, then you can't say that this season... Obviously, it changed a little bit, but you really can't say this season was like a shortened season or whatever they said about the rockets. And it doesn't have as much of an asteris. All right. If we're going to do it just...
Starting point is 01:39:25 Yo, low-key, you've had extra time to let your body heal. If anything, you have an advantage. Yeah, but they ain't been eating right. That's on them, yo. You're an athlete you're supposed to eat right all year round. A lot of Taylor diets in the NBA. Oh, shit. I didn't say that.
Starting point is 01:39:41 I didn't say that. Liberty, liberty, liberty. Liberty, liberty. I hate it. Yo. Who do you think game won't wait during the quarantine? Taylor or Zion Williamson? Yo!
Starting point is 01:39:54 Zion Williamson. He plays for New Orleans. All I'm saying is use those last 20 games of the season to get back in shape. Don't have no audience attendance. You know what I'm saying? It would be like a WNBA game. And just freaking just go, baby. Just rock out.
Starting point is 01:40:15 I think it's great. I think they got to do it. We need some distraction too, man. I mean, just give us some sports. Something to fucking talk about. As great as the last dance was, we need. We need live shit that we can all comment on in real time. It brings us all together.
Starting point is 01:40:29 We connect on it. You call your boys. You debate shit. I mean, I had one of my boys text me yesterday. He goes, bro, you got to watch Love Island UK. I'm like, we need sports back immediately. This is a problem, all right? If that's what we're working on, if that's what the group chat is about.
Starting point is 01:40:47 Come on, Doc. Watching sports is a form of self-care, man. That's the other thing I want to tell everybody before we get an asking idiot, man. I just want to tell everybody, yo, for real, take care of yourself. You know what I'm saying? Like, this is a very trying time. It's a very stressful time.
Starting point is 01:41:02 It was a trying time before, you know, all of this other shit happened, started happening with the police. You know, you're already dealing with a nation that's on edge. Like, I'm going to be honest with you. America, if, I don't see how America gets out of this year. Being the same old America. I mean, you're never the same.
Starting point is 01:41:22 Yeah, but I'm talking about, like, drastic changes, bro. Like, it has to be drastic differences. Like, even when I saw Joe Rogan say him signing his $100 million contract felt gross. Yeah. I understood what he meant, even though I can't wait to feel disgusting too. But I still understood exactly what the fuck he meant. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:41:46 Like, it just seems weird for the country to be on the brink of what I think is going to be probably the darkest depression ever, but things like that are still happening. And it just makes me, just between that and an election year and, you know, the trauma that people experience watching all this police brutality and white supremacists killing black folks, like, and black folks being impacted by coronavirus, I don't see how America doesn't realize it's not going to win until it does right by black people. I know that probably, I know I'm biased. Yeah, I think you might be a little biased.
Starting point is 01:42:21 I think America has probably looked at their track record and gone, you know what, we've done pretty good, not being good to black people so far. I think we're going to figure it out. A certain section of America, a certain population. Like I always say, America works with the people that it was designed to work for. And then the trickle down just so happens to be better than anywhere else in the world. But there is no trickle down for black people.
Starting point is 01:42:47 We say that, but history shows there's no trickle down for black folk. That being said, you'd rather be black in America than black in like war-torn African, in a war-torn African country, you know, in like the Congo somewhere. You'd rather be black in America being a multi-million dollar radio show hosts and multi-media personality than you would being a soldier in a war over, you know, fucking diamonds or whatever it is. I get what you saying, but that's just me, right? That's one. You go down to these projects in Chicago, these projects in Newark, New Jersey.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Yo, in a few months, the projects were already bad, right? In a few months, you might drive through Patterson and think you're in a third world country for real. I'm not saying there aren't bad parts of America. I'm just saying, like, you do a disser- A lot of bad parts. A lot of bad parts. But it's kind of low-key disrespectful to compare our poverty to other, to like third-world poverty. You know?
Starting point is 01:43:48 Now. Right. Because we're right. Shokes, we're literally right there. I think people have a hard time understanding how poor it gets out there. And the only reason I have perspective on this is from talking to Akash and him going to India and him telling me and explaining to me like what, like, you literally see people like starving to death on the street. You see kids starving to death on the street. And it's like once you see that, what he said to me is it really puts in perspective like American poverty and our idea apart.
Starting point is 01:44:16 That doesn't mean that we shouldn't feel bad for the American poor because everything's relative and contextual to what you know. But if we're comparing it to the world. Isn't it worse, though? What's that? If you are living in America and you can't afford a meal and the so-called greatest country on earth when you don't have a place to stay,
Starting point is 01:44:41 isn't it worse? Because it's one thing when you're in a country like that because you know, you know, that. That's what, that's what the world is. But when you live in a country that you could literally walk, you can make that argument, you could be that poor person that walk through a neighborhood and see motherfuckers throwing food away. Like literally throwing it away. Like here, like, that shit got to be even more of a mind fuck. I think you could make that argument. I would just say that there's also rich people there as well. So like the relative poverty is more extreme than
Starting point is 01:45:11 it is here. So it's like American poor is here and then American rich is here. In India, Indian rich is still here, right? They got billionaires in India, but the poor is here, you know? But again, we shouldn't have a... America's like that, though, shows. The wealth gap between the rich and the poor is very bad, bro. But you can't compare it to third world wealth gaps. Like, you can't compare it?
Starting point is 01:45:35 Can you? I'm not sure about it. I guarantee you, man, you can't. It's so extreme, dog. We're talking about, like, think about it. We can support kids for 10 cents. a day. Like you can call a number and then give them 10 cents
Starting point is 01:45:50 a day. You don't think that that's true? How are we writing them letters? Hell no, I don't believe that. I've never believed that. I think we have a warped opinion, but I agree with you, man. I think everything's relative. You only know the poverty or the wealth that's next to or around you, man. So it's like, if people are feeling you know, completely broke and they're completely, I don't know, like off center and like there's no hope. They live here. They don't live in India. They don't live in these other places. That's what they feel
Starting point is 01:46:22 here. So they're right to feel that way, man. It could get crazy out there. I'm trying to find the statistic. It's that statistic that talks about the richest billionaires in the world. Like, it's like, hold on. The five richest Americans. Maybe Chris, you could speak to it. You've spent some time in the third world. It's a statistic that's like the five richest men in America have more wealth than like, hold on, let me find this. Sure, but I mean, I understand what Andrew's saying.
Starting point is 01:46:57 I mean, the level of poverty you see around the world, you don't really see in America. Maybe the exception would be on some of the Native American reservations, which are closer, what's happening near, closer to what you would see in some of the other places. I understand. I totally get that. But I think the difference is if you go to some of these inner cities or you go to some of these rural areas down south and you see these people that are really poor and really disenfranchised, it's easy to tell those folks, oh, man, go get a job and you'll be able to eat or, you know, you know, you can find a way to get a meal. A lot of times, man, it ain't that easy. And when you live in a country where literally you can go to the next
Starting point is 01:47:39 town over and it's people really living high off the hog, to me, that's when the violence starts. Right. It's in your face. Yeah. That's when the violence starts in a real different kind of way. So that's all I'm saying. And I think, you know, with this whole coronavirus pandemic and I think I read a statistic yesterday that said the unemployment rate is about to be like six times higher than it was previously, I think just in the black community. My God. How close are we? to some of these projects that were already fucked up being third world country type. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:15 I'm just saying, I don't know. It's not out the realm of my imagination that that couldn't happen. It's no bueno. It is no bueno. If Trump wins, he's really in the situation to earn his keep because if he's the guy that can turn the economy around and all this shit that he's been talking, it's like, all right, motherfucker, put your money where your mouth is.
Starting point is 01:48:36 And if it's not him, if it's Biden and Kamala or Biden, whoever he chooses, they're going to need to do that as well. And to be honest, they're going to need to do that for the entire country. You know, there's going to be a huge,
Starting point is 01:48:49 there's going to be a huge, huge burden on them to fix what was broken, man. It's going to be a tough one. Starting, I'm being biased, but starting with black people.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Really, it's poor people. But, you know, I just think, listen, I just think that this presidential election, whichever way it goes, it's going to change America forever.
Starting point is 01:49:09 And it's going to change politics forever. And I think a lot of different groups are, you know, you know, recognizing the power their vote. I think either way it goes, politicians are going to wake up and start realizing they need to stop taking black, they need to stop taking black votes for granted. And I also think that real change is going to start happening in the black community because attention is finally going to start getting paid to the black community. And I think these administrations on, you know, either side are going to start making some real
Starting point is 01:49:37 economic investments in the black community. and I truly, honestly, feel that's where it starts because I feel like slavery was America's original sin that they have not atoned for. Well, here's an interesting point, maybe some positive, leave you off on something positive for the black community, and not only the black community, but poor people in general.
Starting point is 01:49:58 Poor people have figured out how to be poor, and they figured out how to thrive within their limited means. And you've seen this within the black community, like the idea of soul food, right, is like taking these undesired parts of the animal that the people, I guess the white people back then weren't going to use and then turning them into a cuisine
Starting point is 01:50:18 that was incredibly desired, right? So if we enter a time where much more people and much larger percentage of Americans are poor, who has the advantage? The person who's brand new to being poor and don't know how it works or the people who have been there before, right? And listen, I agree with it.
Starting point is 01:50:38 opportunity right there. No, I said that much ago before we even got up out of the studio. I said, yo, when shit hits the fan, if you're used to being poor, are you used to not having a lot? You got this. And it's your opportunity to come up because it is going to be a lot of new wealth, sadly, that comes from all this. You know, all of this shit.
Starting point is 01:51:02 Every tragedy creates wealth, man. Every war creates wealth. Absolutely. Yeah. And I think. this is going to be one of those opportunities where people at the bottom really do get a chance to maybe rise to the top but I also feel like you know we cannot we cannot make the government both sides Republican and Democrats we cannot let them skirt their responsibility to the American
Starting point is 01:51:25 people bro don't let them do it we can't we cannot let them disregard their responsibility to the American people yes start making fucking demands of your elected official start making demands of these people who want to be your elected officials. America owes certain communities, right? They, not only do they owe certain communities, especially the black community because we built this motherfucker for free, but also they promised to take care of the worst of us. Like they promised to do that.
Starting point is 01:51:56 That is one of the roles of government. Hold them accountable to that shit. And the same way they can always bail out these motherfucking corporations, bail out the goddamn communities that need it. Simple as that. And I'm telling you, when that motherfucker Trump finesses everybody
Starting point is 01:52:15 and creates an economic justice plan for black America, I'm not even going to read it. I am, but fuck all that. When I see it initially, I'm going to say, I told you so. But if it's good, are you going to vote? That's the question.
Starting point is 01:52:32 If it's better than Biden's plan, are you going to vote? If it's better for your people. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The difference between Trump and Biden, all we're asking of Biden is a policy commitment because that's all he can give.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Trump, you're the fucking president. I don't want no policy commitment for me. I want this push through, baby. Whatever the fuck it is. Whatever you present or whatever the people are, because you made Tim Scott the head of your black outreach, whatever those brothers and sisters are working on for the black community,
Starting point is 01:53:03 push that shit. shit through. Same way you push that shit through for these corporations. We're not asking for policy commitments from you, all right? You got the dick. You got the blue chew. Biden's trying to get the blue chew. Your shit is hard. What you say, hard dick at your door. All right? That's what Trump can give us now. Knock, knock. Who is it? Hard dick. Can I come in? Yes. I don't even know what the fuck I just said. Speaking of hard, I ask an idiot. Let's go. Hold on here. Y'all don't want to talk about Doja Cat,
Starting point is 01:53:36 Azale Baines, accusing Dave Chappelle. Nah, let's ask a day. Let's talk to the people. I really don't. Yeah. Let's talk to the people,
Starting point is 01:53:46 you know. I'm an adult. Just take care of the Doja Cat shit. Everything you said does not sound like something an adult should be discussing. Go, go, go, go. What do we got? What do we got?
Starting point is 01:53:55 So, um, Candaceiro, he says if Trump implements, oh, he just answered that, so never mind. What will you miss most about? What was the question?
Starting point is 01:54:05 It was saying if Trump implements a black agenda with police reform as a major part of the agenda, would you vote for him? Well, listen, it's not, oh, one more thing about that. It's not about whether I would vote for him or not. If he does that, if he implements that now because he has the power to do it, I am sure that it will be some black people who will vote for him. I don't think I would be one of them, right? But if you're voting your interests and his. plan suits your interest better than anybody else. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:37 According to you, that is what black people should do, right? You got to vote your interest. So, hey. You guys, so you guys have made your bed. You have to lay in it. So. If the person who's willing to supply that bed happens to be Trump, if, if the black agenda is to do what's best for black people and the Republicans satisfied, the Trump
Starting point is 01:55:00 Republican satisfy that agenda better than the Democrats. Are you willing to hold yourself to your word and your commitment to black people by going with them? Well, I would tell Trump to pass that, pass it. If he passed it. Hypothetically speaking, he gets it passed through Congress. Let's see what happens. Pass it.
Starting point is 01:55:20 Sounds like you backing up on your word, bro. Sounds like you're not really about black people. You're about the Democrats. I'm saying pass it and let's see what happens. I'm just not, I'm not committing to either side. But you are saying if the Democrats, just bring up a bill, you're willing to support it. But if Trump passes it, you still might not. No, I think that I expect more from Trump because he's the president. All Joe Biden can do is make a
Starting point is 01:55:43 policy commitment. I'm saying that in order for me to even be in that position where I would be questioning myself, right, and like, oh my God, am I going to be at the, do I have to vote for Donald Trump? For me to even be at that point, it would have to be some amazing shit that is actually already passed. Not, I promise. You understand what I'm saying? Fuck a promise. This would have to happen. Okay.
Starting point is 01:56:08 Okay. Next question. Next question. Let's go, Young Liberty. Third Lake, Fred said, what will you miss most about quarantine life? What we miss most about quarantine life? Hmm.
Starting point is 01:56:26 That's a good question. Honestly, I've enjoyed like watching movies. TV shows with my girl, like having a lot of home-cooked meals. Like, I didn't get to do a lot of this stuff when I was on the road all the time and cooking up all this content. So I've liked the abilities just kind of sit back, relax, and, like, enjoy things instead of feeling like I was running 100 miles per hour every single week trying to get
Starting point is 01:56:51 everything done. So it's been nice to kind of, yeah, indulge. It's been nice to indulge. And I've done it. Yeah, I will miss. not having any parental paranoia. Parental paranoia is one of the worst forms of anxiety when your kids are away at school
Starting point is 01:57:13 or you know you drop them off at cheerleading cheerleading practice or you know they want to go to their friends houses like all of that shit makes a parent extremely paranoid. It brings on a level of anxiety that, you know, I just have not had a way. the past few months and it feels great. I wake up in the morning.
Starting point is 01:57:35 I know where all the kids are. I know what time their class schedules are. I know what they're doing. You know what I'm saying? The only place we're going is the backyard and the front yard. I love it. So I will absolutely miss, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:50 not having parental paranoia. What else, Young Liberty Bell? Alex, Corcomboris. You want to know, Do you think coronavirus would be as big of a story if there's no social media? Yeah, I think it might be a bigger story, actually, if there's no social media, because it could just be as big as the media wanted it to be.
Starting point is 01:58:16 Like back in a day before social media, the news was the news, and that shit was the truth. We couldn't push back about that at all and whatever they wanted to say. Matt, yo, back in a day, we would have been locked up for six months and nobody even left the house. I think if they wanted to do that with us, because the only information we would get was from the news, And if they were like, yo, if you meet someone, you get it, you die. We will believe it.
Starting point is 01:58:36 If it wasn't for social media, coronavirus would, we would have had it under control already in America. I think social media causes more hysteria. And I think that, you know, when you get all of this different information, you know, oh, it could be a hoax. Oh, it's not a hoax. I read some shit the other day. They was like, if you have coronavirus for 11 days, after 11 days, it can't be spread. I'm like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:58:57 Like, you know what I'm saying? So it's all of this different information that makes you, that makes you not receive. expect the information you're actually getting from the news. We're confused. We're actually confused. And when you're confused, you're paralyzed. I realize when you're confused, you're either paralyzed or you lean in really hard to one direction, right?
Starting point is 01:59:15 So most of us are sitting in the middle like, I really don't know if this shit is real, if it's fake. I don't know what the fuck's going on. And then the extremes are like, it's a hoax or the extremes are like, it kills everybody. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:59:28 So there's really nobody who actually knows what's going on. No. It's scary. easy. It's easy to feel defying all the rules when you have people on social media defying the rules. Facts. When they're showing you that they're going out, when they're showing you that they don't have a fucking
Starting point is 01:59:44 mask on, you know what I mean? Even the president, you know what I mean? When they show you not having a mask on, when they're just out and about living their life like it's golden, when you're hearing shit like, oh, the heat kills it. You know what I mean? Oh, I heard immunity. When you're hearing all of these shit, you're like, man, fuck it. Social media makes you say, fuck it. I saw that video with them wild and it came to New Jersey last night. I was like, I DJed that party, bro.
Starting point is 02:00:06 That shit was lit, man. I was there last night playing all the Doja Cat. Give us two more asking idiots, Taylor. Okay. This one's from T.O. Frio wants to know, is there any retort that Uncle Charlotte used to preach but no longer believe? Ooh. Any retort?
Starting point is 02:00:27 I don't think he knows what the word retort. I don't think that he knows what the word retort means, but is there anything used to preach but you no longer do? Um, man. I mean, there's probably a lot of things if I sit down and think about it. Off the top is, I've been violating my not talking to niggas after 5 p.m. rule. Oh.
Starting point is 02:00:52 Only because these niggas need to be talked to because these niggas is crazy. And you have to give them some information after 5 p.m. Because if you don't, they will go fucking instinct. But I have to learn. how to disconnect again. So in order to learn how to disconnect, you just really have to really not talk to niggas after 5 p.m. Niggas of all races, by the way.
Starting point is 02:01:19 Social media, social media makes that very hard to do. But I'm going to tell you something, man, and I really mean this. I don't care about anything said on social media anymore if it's not true. And if it is true, congratulations. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:01:39 Meaning that if it is true, hey, salute. You figured it out, you cracked the cold. If it's a lie, I don't give a fuck. We have to really stop giving that type of shit energy because you're never going to, these people are never going to admit they're wrong. If somebody gets on social media right now
Starting point is 02:01:56 and says something fucked up about you shows or says something that is absolutely untrue, if you correct them, they're going to still think you fucking lying. Yeah. They're going to still say you don't know what the fuck. you're talking about. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:08 They might tell you that they might get on social media right now and say, you got a bump on your dick. You're like, I don't got no bump on my dick. You might even post your dick on social media and show that there's no bump. Guess what they'll say? Photoshop. Oh, shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:22 So who gives a fuck what they're talking about? Technically, it's not a bump. It was an ingrown hair. And I got that taken care of, Charlemagne. So thanks for bringing that up to everybody on the fucking podcast. I think that was really unnecessary. Matter of fact, I popped one blue shirt. and that hair just shot right out of my fucking taste.
Starting point is 02:02:42 It popped off like Incredible Hulk's shirt. Just like a button off the Hulk shirt. Listen, but I, um. Last one or that was the last one? No, I got one more. I have, yeah, I'm sure I've unlearned a lot of stuff, man. I'm sure I have. I just can't think anything right now.
Starting point is 02:02:59 Taylor, gang, give us one more. Let's get the fuck out of here. Make it a good one, Taylor, Young Liberty Bell. Got this. I lost the person I said it, but someone asked, would Andrew make a good drug deal? Would I make a good drug deal? Well, I've dealt drugs before. I have.
Starting point is 02:03:17 I was a drug dealer while I lived in Barcelona, Spain. I was living in Barcelona, Spain. And with a couple friends, we purchased half a pound of marijuana. You might know that as weed. And we sold the half a pound of marijuana, and we made 11 years. euros total between the three of us. So that comes out to about $4 each. So we made about $4 off to half a pound of wheat.
Starting point is 02:03:46 So that was my drug dealing. Well, that story answers your question. I'm just saying you guys want to know the extent of my drug dealing. Weed ain't your thing, no. You would kill with the oxies, baby. You think oxy would be my thing? Yeah, you would kill with the prescription drugs. Okay, that's what I got to do.
Starting point is 02:04:05 You'd be the biggest drug dealer on the college scene, baby. See, I messed up. I was selling weed in a country where weed was pretty much legal. It was a very bad business plan. It was a horrible business plan. Why? Nobody wants to buy weed from you unless you're growing it. Now, if you were growing it and you was growing like that new shit,
Starting point is 02:04:25 they'd be calling you like the scientist. Remember that white basketball player that used to play for the A&1? The professor. The professor? Yeah. That's what they would be calling you. Yo, you got to go see the professor. Yo, he'd be cooking up that shit.
Starting point is 02:04:35 Oh, shit. Shit. Maybe I should get into drug dealing, guys. Well, they don't open this country back up. You don't get back on that road soon. You might have to. I might have to steal some drugs, yo. Wait, last one. Oh, shit. I'm going to do it, guys. I'm going to deal some cocaine.
Starting point is 02:04:51 From Lindo, she wants to know both your sides on how to approach. How to approach protests. Charlemagne, why don't you handle this one, bro? What's her name? Her name is what? Lindo. Lindo. Lindo.
Starting point is 02:05:10 It depends what kind of protests I'm approaching. If I'm driving down the street and I see a bunch of people with Confederate flags and guns and signs that say, fuck you niggers, I'm not approaching that protest at all. Okay. But if you're talking about like protests for the police. For instance, this one person said, what do protests and marching really do? Ah. They raise awareness where aware awareness needs to be raised. I do agree that I think we're past the point of all the talk.
Starting point is 02:05:38 and all the marching and shit like that. I think that the only way, you know, respect is going to happen is if we demand it. And, you know, some people in this country only respect two things. And that's money and violence. So you got to hit people in their pockets. Or you got to react with violence. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:05:57 So I think that the only point of protest is to raise awareness, you know, because there's a lot of things that go unseen in this country. It's a lot of things that go unheard in this country. Just because you see it on social media, that don't mean nothing. That's one out of thousands, hundreds of thousands. You know what I mean? So sometimes you need people to go to these places and raise holy hell in order to raise awareness. So the proper attention can be bought to things.
Starting point is 02:06:25 Yeah. I don't make sense. I think you've got to show civic unrest because you can't let the powers that be get comfortable when they break their laws. Word. Right? Because once they feel like they could get away with some shit, they're going to keep on doing it. They're no different than us. So every time they try some fuck shit, you've got to be grateful for the people that come out and they get with it. Like, if they try to take away your guns, you might not be one of these crazy militia motherfuckers,
Starting point is 02:06:55 but you've got to be grateful for these white and black militias that go out there with their fucking machine guns right in front of Capitol Hill and go, we're not, we're not at all giving up our guns. It's not going to happen. Because they kind of maintain our rights. rest of us just go to work and go, ah, we'll figure that shit out. So I don't know. I'm grateful for the people that just go out there and protest
Starting point is 02:07:14 for the rights that we're supposed to have. And to your point, sometimes civil unrest shows people that it's a problem. I guess that's the same thing is raising awareness. Because if you go outside of corporation all day and there's thousands of you protesting against this corporation, eventually somebody in that room has to say, holy shit, I think we got a real problem.
Starting point is 02:07:32 Like, you might can dismiss a few tweets, like, ah, they're complaining on social media or whatever. But boy, when you, actually physically form like Voltron and y'all outside of someplace? Wow. That's a different ballgame. I don't know what this stat means,
Starting point is 02:07:48 but it says the U.S. has the second highest rate of poverty among rich countries. Yeah. I mean, that's like saying, you know, you got the smallest dick amongst black guys. You know what I mean? Most everybody else is like, no, I'll take that dick.
Starting point is 02:08:08 Whoa. All right. Okay, Shotsky. Let's leave it. Progressive Shotsie. Listen, listen, guys, another ball is a little black dick. Literally, a little black dick.
Starting point is 02:08:19 There's another rock. I'm just saying, Charlotte, which one you want? You want a little black dick or a big Asian dick? Do you hear the question? Do you hear the question? I heard the question.
Starting point is 02:08:34 I heard the question. What's a big Asian dick? Like it's something that didn't exist. And I want to. Google, but I don't know. I think everything I got is hacked now, so I don't want to Google Big Asian Dix and then
Starting point is 02:08:49 the people that are spying on me, see the shit. Like, this guy is weird. All right? This guy Google, this guy, this guy's search history is porn hub, old granny porn, and big Asian dicks. Big, I'm about to look up big Asian dicks, yo. I need to see them big Asian dicks.
Starting point is 02:09:06 Big Asian dicks. Listen, as always, As always, you listen to this podcast. Yo, Taylor's upset with the size. Yeah, but they could shoot a hadukin out. That's the cool thing about it. What's the size? What's the size?
Starting point is 02:09:23 What's the average size? It's the average size of a black man. Let me see it. Oh, man, Asia. I care about black people right now. I know. I'm saying the Asian digger. Yo, the idea of average,
Starting point is 02:09:34 the idea that Taylor has for average is astonishing to me. What does she put? I mean, they're just these. massive Asian dicks. Also, it's all gay porn. I don't know why big Asian dick only gay porn comes up. But they're massive Asian dicks. Those are some huge Asian dicks.
Starting point is 02:09:52 What do you mean massive? Taylor, what do you mean massive? They're not massive. This is not mad. And it's all about the English. It's bigger than his whole face. On a scale of one to that motherfucker's... It's bigger than his whole entire face.
Starting point is 02:10:03 On a scale of one to the big black guy sitting... To be honest. Taylor, on a scale of one to the big black guy sitting on the bed with his dick just hanging there. You know what I'm talking about? That's not a dick. That guy's got that guy's not a dick. That's not a dick.
Starting point is 02:10:17 That's not for Luffigus. That's what Stuffalofugus. That's what Stuffaloffig's. I think that could be like a twin. You know, like when you have the twin connected to you? He got a Siamesee's dick. Yeah, like I don't think it's a dick. I think that's his brother, dog.
Starting point is 02:10:33 Like literally, that's his brother that never grew up full, like length or something's awful. That guy's dick is too magnificent, bro. That's a magnificent dick. You know what they call that? That's a magnificent dick, dude. I don't know what to tell you. You know what they call that? What's that?
Starting point is 02:10:54 Blessed. What? Okay, that was gay. What do you say? I didn't hear him, what do you say? Oh, blessed. Oh, blessed. How did he said meth.
Starting point is 02:11:03 I thought he said meth. Oh, and I said bless. Bless. I thought y'all was just disgusted and how gay. that came out. Son, that dick was huge, bro. I, dude, I don't know, bro. I really don't know.
Starting point is 02:11:20 Like, after he eats, does he have to burp his dick, bro? Oh, my God, man. Real talk, he got to throw that shit over his fucking shoulder. It's heavy. It's probably more... What, his dick? Bro, that shit was huge, dude. That's why Taylor put on that weight.
Starting point is 02:11:36 She'd been talking to him via DM. She was like, yo, when you got out this quarantine, man, you're going to go at it. You think you can handle that? You think you can handle that extra weight That guy's dick The super big black guy I don't think most potholes
Starting point is 02:11:52 Could handle that guy's dick All right listen Deonté Wadda Deontay Wadde decided to gain a little extra weight For the Tyson Fury fight it didn't go his weight So don't think just because you gained a little bit of weight That's going to help you out That's a good point
Starting point is 02:12:05 That you can handle big pop a pump No you wouldn't be able to handle that That guy I think it's bigger than a horse's dick And that's with no blood in it That shit was just hanging chilling. That was just flaccid. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:12:23 He didn't even hold this sign up for the protest. That shit. His protest didn't even start yet. That shit was bigger than this. And he wasn't even salt bay. He was like all the way excited. Better be careful what you ask for, God damn, Taylor. Real talk, dude.
Starting point is 02:12:44 Charlie, man, this right here. That's me, baby. No, it's not. That's me, baby. from lying, dog. What it do, baby. That's me, baby. That's right.
