The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Jordan Klepper Takes on Trump & Haley Supporters | Killer Mike

Episode Date: February 14, 2024

Jordan Klepper dives into Trump’s recent remarks about Nikki Haley and her husband, who might or might not be missing. Jordan then heads to South Carolina to ask Nikki Haley supporters what she can do to beat Trump and later hits a Trump rally to ask his supporters why they’ll never vote for Haley. If Republicans are going to compromise with Democrats on the border crisis, they’re going to need a new issue for Trump to run on. Thankfully, Jordan and Desi Lydic have a few ideas to enrage the masses –– from Taylor Swift, to drag queens, to basically anything with letters. And legendary rapper, Killer Mike, joins Jordan to discuss sweeping the major rap categories at the Grammys, how spirituality played a role in his award-winning album, "Michael," how the record is an extension of Run The Jewels, and why he encourages fellow activists to use community to effectively organize and mobilize.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes. I'm going Clepper. We got a great show for you tonight. Killer Mike is here tonight. Frankly, it is great to be back. John Stewart kicked things off last night. He worked one day, now he's taking a well-deserved break until next week. But the campaign continues, and so do we with, in decision, 2024. Now, for once, the big news in the GOP primary is not about Donald Trump. It's about Nicky Haley.

And what Donald Trump said about her. Former President Trump taking heat for questioning why Nikki Haley's husband has not been with her, on the campaign trail. Where's her husband? Oh, he's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone.

Your husband, Michael, is a major with the South Carolina Army National Guard, currently deployed in the Horn of Africa. It's disgusting. And let's take it and move me and Michael out of it. If you're going to go and criticize a combat veteran, you criticize one veteran, you're criticizing all of them. Wow, now, that is the spine of a leader. Someone who will stand up for our troops when Donald Trump attacks them.

I mean, not John McCain or the Gold Star family. She worked for Trump after that. But if you go after a troop that Nikki Haley is married to, that is where she draws a very specific line. Now Haley's obviously been hitting this very hard, and honestly, I don't blame her for milking this. The only time the media gives her attention is when Donald Trump is roasting her. In fact, if I were Nikki Haley, I'd text Trump like, Hey Donnie, check out this pick of my son's weird overbite. Send. But this whole thing might be a misunderstanding. I don't want to be a Trump defender. One, because he never pays his defense bills.

But I honestly don't think he was trying to insult her husband's service. He was just trying to maliciously insinuate that their marriage is collapsing. So, Nikki, I think you owe him an apology. But, if you are going to engage, Nicky, don't just do this, how dare you? Have you no decency thing? Because he doesn't. We've seen this. You can't take the high road road the road the road the road the road the road road road road road road road road road road the high the high road road road road road road road the high the high the high to the high toe toe toe the high toe tooooo tooo thoo toooing tooing tooing too. thi. th. th. tooom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. th. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm, t. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. And. And've seen this. You can't take the high road with Donald Trump. That off-ramp has been closed since 2016. If he goes after your missing

husband, you go after his missing wife. Yes, get the gloves off. Take them off. Something like, I'm not surprised you can't keep track of one spouse, Donald, since two already left you. Boom! Donald, why is it easier to spot a classified document at Marlago than the mother of your children? Boom! Turns out the only way your wife would spend time with you is if you golfed on the hole where you buried her. So, just spitball in here, guys.

But the Haley Trump feud isn't just about whose spouse hates them the most. It's about the direction of the Republican party. Something I found out over the weekend. Take a look. Trump is cruising in the GOP primary, yet Nikki Haley has refused to back out, despite losing in three states, where she was beaten by the general concept of none of these candidates. So I went down to a Haley campaign stop in her home state to see if she has found any cracks in the Maga Foundation. Ito a Haley campaign stop at her home state to see if she has found any

cracks in the Maga Foundation. I love Nikki Haley, what she did for South Carolina. I voted for Trump twice. I'm embarrassed. She's going up in the polls. She's going up in the polls. She keeps going up. I mean, she did lose to none of these candidates back in Nevada. Tough. To. Now polls here. The polls aren't great for Haley

up against Trump for this primary. I am not smart enough to tell you numbers, but I can tell you one thing, she is certainly not going to get embarrassed in this state. I have a problem with people insinuating she might not have been an effective governor. Really? Well they might either lived in another state or their high as a Georgia pine. I know I'm not familiar with those tall trees. Very tall, buddy. The idea is just to stop Trump. I'm a Republican all my life, but I cannot support Trump.

But even in the face of tough odds, her supporters had a long-term strategy to the GOP nomination. Staying in all the way to the convention because he may not be around by the convention. Because he gets put in jail or convicted. What do you think Haley needs to do to convince those Trump voters who say they will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever vote for Nicky Haley. And obviously I'm abbreviating this. The crowd was small, but there were people in South Carolina hungry for a new choice. I wondered here in Haley's own backyard, what kind of a crowd would Trump muster in... Oh shit, his rally was huge.

You can even say, big, Lee. God, it's going to be loud. It's going to be loud. Loud inside. It's going to be crazy. I mean, it's kind of quiet and business like outside. Yeah. But it's a party on the back. It's going to be huge.

You would know, my friend. You would tell me about your offer. I've got to say it's a unique placement of his mouth area. I loved everything that he is implemented in the past, so I love if we could put that back into office to keep that going. Like what stuff? Um, I like border control. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big point. Should be working to fix what's happening at the border.

It feels like Congress is just sitting on their hands right now doing nothing. Yes. They brought up a bill to do something and Trump said, no freaking way. Why was that a good idea? I don't know. Okay. So what did they think of Trump's only remaining human opponent? I think she changed. Fake Republican. Not familiar withy Haley?

Globalist. She belongs to the fascist. She was in the UN for God's sakes. I know. That's a global fascist capital of the world. To be fair, she was appointed by Donald Trump. But she stabbed him in the back as quick as she could. Loyalty matters. Loyalty matters. All fidelity matters.

Fidelity matters. Have fun in there inside with Donald Trump. I don't know if his third wife will be in there with him. I think she might still be mad at him. And Trump's recent court challenges have inspired a brand new demand. Trump has been talking right now about it. He thinks he should be immune from the actions he takes while present. You think he should have total immunity? Otherwise, everyone's going to jail. You're fine with Trump as king?

Yes. Trump is king is good. Yep. And that's about as American as you can get. Yes, it is. King Trump. Yes. However, Trump isn't asking to be a king. dictator. I said no no no other than day one. A dictatorship for day one. Yeah. And that's what we need. What does that actually look like? Well that means that

about half the people in the Department of Justice should be arrested and put behind bars. That's like a true dictatorship. Yeah. Well you know it needs to happen. Donald Trump said he'll be a dictator day one. thi. to be a thee. the. thr. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. th. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thi. th. th. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that that the. the. th one. What do you think of that? Is that a good idea? Let's get it done. Get in and get it done? Let's go. He's not going to be like a Hitler dictator. No. More like a Mussolini dictator for a day. Yes. Yes. Yes. A dictator can do that, right? at this point is what American needs. So they're on board with the dictator justice.

But what about all the big dictator talk? Trump said they're poisoning the blood of our country. Trump kind of speaks in allegories. What he's talking about is the blood of the country's been tainted. People have come here and emigrated. It's a different story. And they don't know our American history and our values. Nor do they respect it.

So when he says poisoning our country, it sounds harsh, it sounds much nicer in the original German. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. While many were on board with Dictator 2. I did start to see some small cracks in support. Like when I found this woman who spent 60 days in prison for her role on January 6th. You were a Trump supporter?

Absolutely, I was a Republican, and I was wrong that day for even being there. January 6th was an insurrection. Keep her voice down. This is a Trump rally. That's not the most popular take to have right now. And this guy, who confessed he's scared about losing this money after investing in a bunch of weird financial MAGA products, like Trump debit cards and a dubious Trump currency. I have supported him with checks and the gold,

gold trump bars, a hundred dollar gold thing. I can't get rid of those. NFT cards, the TRB cards. Now, how does that work? They gave me a pin number, and then go to any ATM. Went to the ATM and couldn't get nothing out. The card has nothing on it. You think it was a scam? It might have been, I don't know.

Do you've invested a lot in Donald Trump? Yeah. Everyone is telling me to buy something different, stop by. Don't buy any. I just, as a guy who's just, as a, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. I, th. I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It, th. It th. It, th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. It thi. It thi. It thi. It thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It thi. It thi. It thi. It thi, thi right? I am. But I had this one guy, he wants to be putting more money, right? No! No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. Here's it, here's it. I'm afraid if you go in there again, you're gonna be taken in by a scam again.

No, no, yes, no, yes. All I'm saying is here, I'm saying there is hope that you you you you you you you you you you you that you that you think, I think you just walked that way, right through those gates. No, no, my car's over here. Well, we almost save one person if it only parked in the right spot. When we come back, we'll fix the border crisis. Stick around. Oh. John Stewart here. Unbelievable exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election. Economics.

the ingredient to bread ratio. On sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show. The Weekly Show. the Weekly Show. The Weekly Show. to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. has been working on a deal that would send more military aid to Ukraine. Because if Russia defeats Ukraine, then Europe is next and then America. And I don't know about you, but I'm never going to be able to learn Russian.

I mean, look at this. There's a six, a pie symbol, the N is backwards, it's wearing a beret for some reason. I mean, what the fuck am I going to do with this? These people have their their their their their their thiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho-s, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and, tho, tho, and, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi.a.a. And, theeeean, thean, theean, thean, thean, thi.a.a. And, and thi, going to do with this? These people have to be stopped. Their entire language is just a very strong password. But the good news is last night, the Senate finally agreed to a $95 billion foreign aid bill, giving money to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. They just stuffed all the current and future wars all into one bill. Like a delicious defense turducin. The bad news is it's already pretty much dead. The bill's future is now uncertain due to opposition from Republicans who insist that it also

addressed the border crisis. Open the champagne, pop the cork. The Senate Democrat leader and the Republican leader are on the way to Kiev. They've got $60 billion they're bringing. Get the champagne ready and fly to Kiev. On Friday they will take the $60 billion to Kiev, crack the champagne, and meanwhile each day, between 5 to 10,000 people come across the champagne and meanwhile each day between five to ten thousand people come across the border illegally does red pole wants a champagne

feels feels like that's the energy of a drunk ex making a wedding toast sure pop the champagne Cheryl you and your new lover are whisking away to Kiev you know what? I got a studio apartment above a weed store, so I'm doing fine. I'm leaving. You set the invite. You didn't have to send the invite. You know what? You know what? No. I want a working government. I do.

And if Republicans care that much about the border, and Democrats care that much about foreign aid, maybe these senators can negotiate a compromise. But that is exactly what senators originally tried to do. A group of bipartisan senators worked for months to negotiate a massive bill that would address foreign aid and the immigration crisis. But then Donald Trump derailed it by pressuring Republicans to vote against it. Oh, right! Because they had a border compromise until Trump tore it up like it was a federal subpoena.

Frankly, it blows my mind that Republicans rejected this bill. It was the strongest border bill in decades, but it still wasn't good enough for them. It's like the Democrats asked Republicans to prom and they said, Feeck off, we're waiting for Jeremy Allen White. Well, guess what, Republicans? You missed out. Because Chuck Schumer is over there in the corner with his dancing shoes on. It's a perfectly nice man who also has a horse-kk.

Just, just gigantic, you know? Just like, well, you know, whose glasses are always falling off? That's just, that's the gravitational force of just a, just a giant horse-kits, just pulling, just pulling everything to the grounds. Just, just, just, you missed out Republicans. And Republicans, you could have had all that. But Trump made them turn it down.

The question is why. To offer some analysis, let's turn now to Desi Lydde. Desi. Desi. Desi, is there any, is there any possibility of a compromise on the border? Oh, you sweet, naive, idealist shit for brains. No, if the Republicans solved the border crisis, then Trump can't run on the border crisis. The border was the perfect campaign issue. It was scary. It was racist.

It had a catchy chant. Build the wall. Build the wall. Build the wall. See, it's got me. It gets me just like that. Right? See? If they want to get Republicans on board with solving the issue, they need to give them a new issue that they can run on, some heat, some fresh meat to rile them up. Okay. All right. All. All. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. tea. tea. tea. tea. toda. the. the. the the. the the the the the, some fresh meat to rile them up. Okay, all right, all right, like what? Like anything, like Democrats pass a law that makes all guns gay. Republicans would be so pissed and also a little turned on. Yeah, true. Okay. All right, let me, let me try one here. Democrats could cut funding for after school programs. Oh, no, Jordan. They don't give a shit about that.

Okay. Uh, they could make after-school programs gay. Yes! Okay, all right. Now you're getting it. Now you're getting it. So Republicans need a campaign issue that scares the shit out of their base. And you know what they're afraid of?

thiii of everything, cities, books, vaccines, gut health. High school musical theater, black little mermaid, the first 300 years of American history. Yes, yes, rainbows, drag brunch, drag dinner, drag afternoon snack, Beyonce singing country music. Yeah, M&M, CRT, PBS. NPR, anything with letters. And of course, Taylor Swift Finding Law. Yeah, no. Yes. Yes. Like, maybe that gets a border deal done, but we can't just keep swapping one problem for another.

I mean, the whole point of politics is to solve problems. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. The whole point of problems is to let people do politics. If we solve all the problems, then there'll be no more politics. And if there's no more politics, then there's no more political satire. And then we have to find real jobs. No real jobs. No real jobs.

No real jobs. Yes, yes. No real jobs. No real jobs. No real jobs. That is something you can chat. Desi Lanek, everybody. When we come back, Killer Mike is here, so don't go away.

No real job. No real job. No real job. No real job. No real job. No real job. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday.

So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday. we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches.

Maybe we're too old for porn, but rap we got. Rap we're sick. We're sent for rap. There was never an age where it would have been an appropriate choice in my life. I was 18 years old listening.

I want to talk a little bit about your album. Yes. A personal album, but I want to also look at like, you reference Satan a lot on this album. Even on the cover right here, we have have, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you have, you have, you have, you, you, th, the, the, th, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, and, and, th, and, th, and, and, and, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, thr. to, to, that, that, that, that, that, that, I, the, the, the, I, I, this album. Yeah. We're an interesting time right now. People seem to be moving away from spirituality. Yeah. And that it feels like you infuse a lot of your work into it. I know you have a lot of respect for the craft of hip hop, of rap. Do you feel like that can serve as a conduit for people who are looking for spirituality, who are looking for something?

What do you see that role? I came out a rap album called rap music 12 years ago and it was you know it was titled Rebellious African at me be me and in people's music for all the people and at that time I realized that the only religious experiences I had really had were when I listened to or was a part of music and music is a very big part of the church. I'm a southern black man I grew up in Baptist and Pentecostal churches so so so so so so so. the the the the t. t. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. I was a thi. th. th. th. th. I was was was was. I was. I was. I was. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, the thi. And, the thee. And, they. And, t. And, t. And, t. And, the tote. And, the they. And, the thi. And, the. And of the church. I'm a southern black man. I grew up in Baptist and Pentecostal churches. So music was a conduit to put everybody in the room on the same frequency and the same energy. So I actually believe that people aren't away from spirituality as much as they're running from the institutions that promise them spirituality and just deliver things like give us money or we need tithing. I think that people are trying to find... I think that they're trying to find God and spirituality, but they're finding it in places

you wouldn't regularly find it. They're finding commuting with one another, they're finding it away from church and out in nature, and not that nature becomes their God as much as, it's a lot easier to talk to God when you're standing under a tree smoking a joint. You know, he's closer that way, right? Yeah, I was, you know, I won't talk about my thing, but I was sitting in a jail cell and I didn't have anything to do. So I just prayed and I just thank God for the three hours. I say, you know, just thank youoked the spirit of my mother, my grandmother, and was like, I hope you guys see me, not the jail part, but the winning part. And after I got out the next morning, I got a call and my son and got a kidney. So I'm very much a more a believer. I have a white manager, Will's a white guy, and he said, shit, for 15 years, I thought

you were an atheist. I was like, no, Will, I was more, I was more, I was more, I was more, I was more, I was more, I was more, I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. I was more. the the the the to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I. I. I was more. th. th. tod. today. today. today. th. th th that. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I the th. I to to God. It brought me closer to the grand being that is designed human beings to be here. So I'm thankful that music brings me closer to my creator. Well said, well said. It's interesting you talk about it like that. Because I do think I spend a lot of time out in the world. Yeah. I go to a lot of rallies, talk to a lot of people. And you know it's very easy to otherize the MAGA crew, the Trump crew, whatever side you're in I think we are we're on a search for something that makes us feel whole, makes us feel part of a community and gives us a sense of meaning and I think without that in our lives we replace it with the quickest, easiest, loudest thing and so finding a conduit is remarkable and to be commended. So kudos absolutely thank you. Tell me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me th. T me th. T me th. T me th. T me th.

So kudos on that.

Thank you. Tell me this. I'm also a big fan of Run the Jules. Yes. I love Run the Jules. Listen, man, they, I felt like Run the Jules got snubbed a few years ago and one of the best parts about being one half of to me the fact that this album Michael also brought LP his first Grammy. Yes. So shots out and congratulations to my partner Ryan LP. Give it up to LP. I'm curious, actually what is fun as a fan of yours and a fan of LPs you

you hear your influences on what you do on solo projects and what you bring to a Run the Jewels project. I think when you are marinating on Michael and sitting down thinking about what is a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooosk I I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t t t think when you are marinating on Michael and sitting down thinking about what is a run the jewels project and what is a killer mic project? How do you delineate the tool? Well it's all the same. So not that it's the same sound the same thing, but so imagine run the jewels the uncanny X-Men. And then if you've read if you're a reader of all about the nerd out on you guys. If you. the to the to to to the to the to to to the the to the to to the to to the to the to to the the the to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to me. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooleoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this, I'm going to be so impressed. Well, man, who wouldn't want to marry Storm? Yeah, okay, there we go. So, Run the Jewels is done, Kenny X Men. There's a lot of characters come in and out, rest and peace the gangster boozez.

You know, Mavis Staples, Josh Homie, all these people have come in. And what we have there is a university where you can't one half of the group Run the Jewels. So Michael is an extension of the Run the Jew's world and you get to see the reason why I rap about my mother and Run the Jews. You get to hear the whole story on Michael. So imagine Logan to Wolverine and that's what this is. So this is an extension of Run the Jewels. No, I, here's something, I want to switch gears a little bit. I will say, I re-watched it recently. After the George Floyd murder, you made an impromptu press conference in Atlanta.

You were asked to make a press conference. Which I think is, if you haven't seen it, I think is not only the clarity of it, the catharsis within it and the call to action, I think is not only the clarity of it, the catharsis within it, and the call to action, I think, is a pretty remarkable moment over the last decade. Thank you. Something you said there resonated with so many people. You asked people at a time of unrest. You said to focus on to plot, plan, strategize, optimize, organize, organize and mobilize.

Absolutely. We're on that process right now. plan, strategize, optimize, organize, organize, mobilize, absolutely. We're on that process right now. Yes. I know you're talking specifically about police brutality. Here we are, three and a half years later. Yeah. Where are we on that? How are you seeing that process unfold?

Well, I'll tell you this, what I was saying at night because there's a lot of misconstruing it and just, I'm gonna, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th and thin, I thin, I th and just, I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm th th thi, I'm th thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I tho, I tho, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th........ th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, to to to to to to to to thi, I to thi. thi, I thi, I thi, I thi,ing and just like I mean to be honest people be lying they do right so people have agenda I know you know some people are like you were defending the cops and crying I'm like no it's not what I was doing I was actually smoking blunts with Noriega eating fish sandwich is trying not to go and that's and Noriega the rap I yeah yeah no yeah yeah shots out the nor she the theyn-s hey, the mayor called me. There's some unrest. I was like, she never called me. And he was like an hour after asking for about an hour. He says, well, if you're not going to go, I'm not going to go. And everybody knows the rap rules. You can't leave your homies down. So I went I had just scored and I um... How long does

that last? About a couple weeks maybe. Okay. So I'm there and I'm just like okay and I see our mayor who's also from me and T.I.s. I'm tell the neighborhood and she's doing a dynamic job of telling the police hold off. Don't don't make a move. We're gonna talk to the public first and then tip gets up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up and I to speak up and I to speak up and I to speak up and I to speak up and I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. then he's like, and now kill him like, oh shit. And I just simply told the truth. And the truth is, what happened to George Floyd was a murder. It was evil, it was wrong. The truth is also that Atlanta has long been a fortress, for the black civil rights movement in this country and civil rights. And if we would have burned Atlanta down, we, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they. And, they. And, and, is, is, is, is, and, and, is, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is. And. And. And. And. And, is. And, is. And, is. And, is. And, is. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the truth. the truth, the truth, could use to plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize.

So ultimately, all I was saying in that speech was, use your homes, use your businesses, use your churches as senders to welcome people in and plan, plot out what are we going to do next. Strategize, organize, and mobilize and then do the next thing. I challenged them. In my city stepped up. What I'm th th th, I'm tham I'm thamamamamam, I'm tham, I'm tham, I'm tham, I'm th, I'm th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. tham, tham, tham, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. the, the. to toe. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. the seeing in Atlanta now is organizers be supported. I'm seeing more organizers come out. My man Roe it down there just gave him an amazing speech yesterday, shots out to him.

He's an Indian-American guy. He's in Atlanta. He's organizing constantly. We're organizing around the vote. I saw Atlanans really welcome other people in to try to push back against the powers that be. That's what my city's always done. That's what we're doing now and that's what I think we'll do going forward. We don't, organizers do not have to agree with each other.

We do not have to agree with it, but what we must start to agree with is that there's a problem to be solved. And if we waste too much time in fighting, the problems never the ol. country. Killer Mike everyone. Michael is available now. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Thank you, sir. I appreciate the first. John Stewart here.
