Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. March 26, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show. Thank you so much for tuning in.

I'm trying to know our guest tonight. Our guest tonight, let's do it y'all. Our guest tonight, let's do it, y'all. Our guest tonight is a Grammy-nominated rapper, just out with his first novel. You know him as Logic. Bobby Hall is joining us, everybody. Also, on tonight's show, Robert Mueller's not going away. Jussie Smollett says no collusion, and a wardrobe malfunction that's literally out of this world. So let's catch up on today's headlines.

Jussie Smollett. A month ago, the Empire actor was attacked by two Trump supporters who turned out to be Nigerian weightlifters, who turned out to be American brothers. But now, the story is getting weird. Breaking news, this hour, Chicago prosecutors have dropped all charges against Empire actor Jesse Smollett. I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I have been accused

of. I actually just got a new statement from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office literally just moments ago. It says, we th, we we th, we th, we 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Breaking thi. Breaking thi. Breaking thi. Breaking thi. Breaking thi. Breaking thi, breaking thi, breaking thi, breaking thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. thro. thr-a. I actually just got a new statement from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office literally just moments ago. It says, we did not exonerate Mr. Smollett. The charges were dropped in return for Mr. Smollett's agreement to do community service and forfeit his $10,000 bond to the city of Chicago. Okay, wait. So Jussie was set free, but he's not innocent, but he's also not guilty. What?

Like, we need someone to figure this out. Mullah, we got a new case for you. And this time, just tell us what happened. So yes, Jussie Smollett is a free man. The prosecutors have decided not to charge him, although they're not saying exactly why. And the Chicago police are furious about this. They're furious that Jussie just gets to walk away.

And I'll be honest with you, I think it's pretty hilarious to see Chicago cops on the other side of a case gone wrong for once. Yeah, they're like, if only he had a body cam. All black people should have body cams. So that's where we are right right now right right right right right right right right right right right we are we are th. th. th th th th th th th th th th that that that that that that that 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 just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to to to to to to to to to to to the th. the the the the 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 weirdest news story in America. I feel like in a week we're gonna turn on CNN and find out Smolets is now dating Mike Pence after they met in an Arkaley concert. But anyway, let's move on. In the wake of the Boeing 737 crashes that rocked the airline industry. Everyone has had questions about how these incidents could have happened. And now we're starting to get some answers. A safety feature for the Boeing 737 Max jetliners maybe just stays away to help prevent the troubles that led to those crashes. An additional

warning light will now become standard equipment on all planes. The light will let pilots know when two sensors that gauge whether the planes nose is pointed up or down or in disagreement. The warning light had been optional but will now be standard. Previously it was a pricey add-on feature but it appears those Ethiopian and Lion Air pilots didn't have the warning because their airlines would have had to pay for it on a plane that has a list price of about 120 million dollars. Are you serious? Are you serious?

The reason pilots didn't know they were going to crash? of about 120 million dollars. Are you serious? The reason pilots didn't know they were going to crash was because the planes didn't have a warning light. And they didn't have a warning light because Boeing was charging extra for it? And warning, like that doesn't seem like it should be allowed. Features that keep planes in the sky should be standard. This is like CVS selling condoms, but then they charge extra for the ones without holes. Also if you're an airline and you can't afford a safety light, get creative people.

Airlines already filled with lights that you don't need. Make the no smoking light, the safety light instead. We don't need that light. We all know you can't smoke on a plane. It's not 1962 anymore. No one needs that light. What are you doing with it? You can't afford it? And if you still need to save money, maybe get rid of the in-flight magazines, all right?

There's no point in learning about Anne Hathaways favorite sushi in Boston,, their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. their the the the the light, what the light, what the light, what the light, what th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. What th. What th. What th. What th. What th. What thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's the theanananananananananananananananananananan, thean thean thean thean the if the play never makes it to Boston. And finally, in some international news, there's a new scandal shaking the Catholic Church. A lot of Catholics. See, kissing the Pope's ring as a tradition in the church if you're lucky enough to meet him. But it appears Pope Francis isn't too keen on the idea. Meeting people after mass yesterday, the Pope kept ripping his hand away as people puckered up. Like, I don't even know. I don't even know what this is.

First of all, I'm impressed with how quick he is, like every single time. And secondly, it's a nice change of pace to see a priest not want to toucest people. This is nice. This is dope. Yeah. Now, apparently, they say the Pope is refusing to let people kiss his ring, because he wants to be humble. But the way he yanks his handwings the hand the hand the, the, thiiiii, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, too, thi, thi, thi, th. the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm too. And, I'm too. And, tooo. And, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And, too. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And wants to be humble. He doesn't want to be praised like that. But the way he yanks his hand away, makes it seem like all those people are like super gross. He's like, ew, no, ew, no. No, no. Eww, no.

And Francis really has some quick reflexes. Like, it looks like a weird video game, where you have to today's top story. Robert Muller, over the weekend the special counsel and resistance heartbreaker handed in his long-awaited report on President Trump. But because it hasn't been made public yet, everything we know about the report is from a four-page summary written by William Barr. Now, William Barr is Trump's attorney general

and a boring John Goodman. But many Democrats are saying, they're not happy with just the tip, they want the full thing. The calls are growing louder to release the entire Mueller report. In a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr overnight, six House Committee chairs demanding Barr released the full findings to Congress no later than April 2nd. Robert Mueller, I think he should sit before the Judiciary Committee in the Senate and

he should go as well as to the House. It is absolutely imperative that the Trump administration make that report public as soon as possible. Hey, Bernie, loving the hat. This is really interesting, right? Trump gets accused of colluding, but now Robert Mueller has to spend the rest of his life in hearings. I feel like this always happens with Donald Trump, you know? Everything goes in his favor in a weird way. Like Mueller investigates him, Trump gets off,

and now Mueller has a lifetime of testifying. Stormy Daniels sues him, but ends up having to pay Trump money. I feel like if Melania ever divorces Trump, somehow she'll have to pay Alimony. Be like, every month I must pay 100 hamburgers. This is not best. Now, I can understand why the Democrats want the entire report made public, right? Because the Attorney General, who summarized Mueller's report, is Trump's guy. Like, they don't just want to take his word for what the report says.

It makes sense, right? It's like asking Michael Jackson's lawyers to recap the documentary. They'd probably be like, ah, I was mostly about how much he loved his fans, a lot. Yeah, that's it. So for the Democrats, this is just the beginning. But as far as Trump is concerned, this ends the saddest chapter in American history. When asked by a reporter if Mueller acted honorably, Mr. Trump responding, yes,

even while blasting the investigation itself. It was a false narrative, it was a terrible thing. We can never let this happen to another president again. Which is why I won't allow America to have another president ever again, folks. I can't allow it. No more. No more. By the way, have you ever noticed that Trump is terrible at comforting victims unless it's him?

Yeah? Because you never hear this level of compassion from Trump about like Puerto Rico. When that happens, he's like, here's one paper towel, go long. But here, and when it's him, he's like, the Mullah investigation was a terrible thing. We're going to do everything we can wea we can we can th can th can th can th can th can th can th can thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho tho tho th the Mullah investigation was a terrible thing. We're gonna do everything we can to get me back on my feet. Oh, and over at Trump TV, they all agree that this was a terrible, terrible thing, and they want revenge. You'd like to believe that people who did this will be held accountable.

They hurt our country, They poisoned our public's fear. They distorted our foreign policy. They completely terrified the population. They should be punished. We're going to expose the ringleaders of defamation, the purveyors of political smears, all of whom have proven themselves to be untrustworthy and, frankly, deeply unpatriotic for this president, override what is best for the American the American the American the American the American their fanatical hatred of this president override what is best for the American people.

My promise to this country from this night forward is we will hold every liar, every propagandist, every conspiracy theorist accountable. This will likely take us months and maybe longer. Whoa, Sean Hannity pumped the breaks. If you got rid of all the conspiracy theorists, propaganda and liars, Fox News would just be a bunch of empty couches and a sexual harassment settlement.

Slow down, buddy, slow down. And look, and look, I'm not saying nobody on the left got the collusion thing wrong, but these people, these people, these people don't get to say shit about conspiracy theories and political lies. These people... No, just no. I mean, I mean Laura Ingram's website suggested for years that the Clintons have been murdering people. Tucker Carson pushed the lie about Obamacare death panels and Sean Hannity is the worst of them all. He speculated repeatedly that a DNC staffer was assassinated as part of a Democratic cover-up. In fact, that man's family had to beg Sean Hannity to stop. So forget glass

houses, these people on a glass mansion with a stone-powered era 15. And this kind of hypocrisy isn't just coming from Fox News. No, it's also coming from inside the White House. President Trump's 2020 campaign now going so far as to send this memo to TV producers, listing discredited guests, all Democrats, who pushed, quote, outlandish, false, collusion accusations. Now they're making the case through both the president and the White House, that those Democrats should not be on TV. I think Democrats and the liberal media should be absolutely embarrassed by their behavior over the last the last the last the last the the last the the the the the the the the the the the the the that those Democrats should not be on TV. I think Democrats and the liberal media should be absolutely embarrassed by their behavior over the last two years. It's not just that they reported and spread a slanderous malicious lie, but they hoped for

the takedown of the President of the United States. Yeah, these Democrats should be ashamed. They use this investigation to try and take down the President. If if if if the President, if the President, the the President, the the the the the the President, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the the the the the the thiii, you the the their, thoomk, their, their, thoomk, th their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their.iiiiiiia, their.ia, their.I.I.I.I.I.I's isuia, thoomeree, thiiii.Ii.Ii.Ii.Ii.Ii.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.S.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.S.I. Soe. Soe. Soe. So, tha. Soto try and take down the president. If you want to take down a president, you do it the right way by claiming he was born in Kenya. This is disgusting. And it's not just Fox News and top officials looking to punish people who said Trump colluded with Russia. No, no, this first for vengeance goes all the way to the top. The president expressed vindication and vindictiveness

against those who investigated him. There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things, very bad things. I would say treasonous things against our country. Those people will certainly be looked at. Wow. This is treasonous. and those people will certainly be looked at aka we're gonna come after them. P. His president's not playing games. This is this is where I feel like Trump is lucky that he talks like a toddlar.

No no no because it makes his threats easier to dismiss you know because of how he speaks bad people so bad gonna smash them. And then everyone's like, aw, someone's cranky. But you realize if he spoke like an adult, like a lannister, right? And he held a glass of wine in his hand. I bet a lot more people would be afraid if he came out and he was like, I consider these actions treasinous and mark my words, these people

will be looked at bigly. We'll be right back. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the day of the show.

You know, everyone out there in the world is trying their hardest. But sometimes, people f-hick up. And when they do we've got to call them out because how else are they going to learn? So that brings us to our brand new segment. Yeah done Ficked up. First up, cruise ships. Usually they're a fun easy way totake a vacation, and maybe have a threesome with an elderly couple who want to spice up their marriage. I'll never forget you, Helen and Howard. But unfortunately for some vacationers last week, their cruise ended in disaster because Viking

cruises, you're done fucked up. Norway is investigating why a cruise ship carrying more than 1,300 people set sail despite storm warnings. The Viking Sky encountered engine trouble, lost power, and issued a Mayday call on Saturday. It anchored off of the Norwegian coastian heavy winds and high waves to avoid drifting onto the rocks. Hundreds of passengers, including many Americans, were rescued by helicopter. Okay, that is insane. And not the ship part. The fact that the person holding the camera is steady while everything else is flying around. How are you doing that? Everything else is shaking. And you know, this is something I've noticed.

You see all the time in disasters, right? Everything else will be in chaos, but the person holding, this is something I've noticed. You see all the time in disasters, right? Everything else would be in chaos, but the person holding the camera is always perfectly still. It's almost like filming a disaster on your phone gives you superpowers. Like the wind will be blowing things, and shaking you like, must go viral! But on a serious note, though, that, just being on that boat must have been terrifying.

I bet even the Somali pirates were like, look at me, you are the captain now. You are the captain. I'm out, I'm out. I can't do this, huh? Like, seriously, that video makes me never want to go on a boat ever again. But I mean, I'm from Africa, so I've been skeptical about boats from the thaaaaaaa, thiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, but, but, but, but, but, to, to be to be th. th. to be to be to be to be to be that, that, that, that, that, that, that, to be that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, to be to be to be to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. to me, too, thi. too, too, too, too, too, too, that's. Like, they said that cruise was all inclusive too. But enough of the high seas. Let's go now to outer space. NASA. thea. In the past, they took a giant leap for mankind. But this week, when it comes to women, NASA, you're done fucked up. Apparently gender inequality knows no bounds, not even in space.

NASA's first all-female spacewalk had to be canceled because there weren't enough space suits that fit. The crew only has one medium-sized space suit available at the International Space Station. This, despite the fact that the women's 2013 astronaut class was 50% female. Seriously? NASA had to cancel the first all-female spacewalk because they didn't pack enough space suits? How do you screw that up?

You know how many astronauts are on the shuttle. It's not like you can have a surprise extra astronaut, like, oh shit, we only planned for four astronauts, but then Susan wanted to come. Though, though, it would be great if she opened her suitcase on the ship and found her husband's business suit. And she was like, wait, if I've got his suit, then that means no! No!

No! No! So that was the US, but America doesn't have a monopoly on screwing things up. Just look at the British health care system. Yes, you guys might have universal coverage for all your citizens, but for one patient, Eadon fucked up. A man has been mistakenly circumcised while under the care of Leicester's hospitals, according to a new report. The patient was meant to be having a procedure to look inside his bladder using a thin camera.

The error was revealed by the clinical commissioning group in compiling so-called never events because they should never happen. Oh my word. A patient was accidentally circumcised. That is messed up. Have you ever gone to the barber and then they took a little too much off your hair? Remember how you freaked out?

Yeah? Now imagine if that happened to your dick's ti, huh? Imagine. Because you can't wear a hat on your dick to cover it up. Yeah. to cover it up. Yeah, you can't be like, sorry, it's just so bright out today, the sun gets in my dick's eyes, yeah. Accidentally circumcised? Now I'm worried that they switched other charts. Like so someone else in the hospital went home with an extra four skin.

The friend was like, I thought you were just getting Botoxx. That's what I thought too. And it's not just Britain's health service having issues, it's also one of their airline companies because British Airways, you guys can say it with me. You're done, fucked up. A British Airways flight headed for Germany mistakenly ended up in Scotland. B.A. 3271, supposed to fly from London straight over the English Channel and onto Germany. Instead, the plane took off to the north, flew over most of England, before crossing into

Scotland and landing in Edinburgh. The problem? A ground stamper typed the wrong airport code into the flight plan and no one noticed. The pilots assumed they were supposed to go to Edinburgh. No, no, no, no, no, British airways was trying to fly to Germany and flew to Scotland instead. Man, Brexit is screwed. I don't know how Britain is going to leave Europe if they can't even find their way out of their own country. Brexit will probably end up like,

we did it, we're out of the EU. We're independent. No, no, no, wait, wait, we're still in. We're still still still still still still still. We're still. We're still. We're still. We're still. We're still. We're still, wait. We're still. We're still, wait. We're still th. We're still th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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. to to to th. to to to to to to th. to to to the. 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. th also joined the WNBA. You know what the crazy part is? The crazy part is that Scottish accents are so thick. I bet some passengers thought they were in Germany. Yeah, because if you think about it, Scottish is the German of English, right? It's just as rough. They probably got off the praying like, I'm in Germany and they're like, ah, yeah, you're not in Germany. Yeah, bleeding and shit in my the German the German the German, th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th and their, thin thin thin thin thin' their, thin' their, their, their, their, their, their, thin, thi, their, the rough. They probably got off the plane like, I'm in Germany! And they're like, ah, yeah, you're not in Germany. You're bleeding, shit, my chair, I'm sorry, sir, no expression de Deutsch. No, I don't like, you're picking, I train your dragon in three, eh, eh, yeah, what, you know, you're like. Seriously, like, I can't believe. I can't believe British Airways landed in the wrong country.

And the worst part is that everyone on board got accidentally circumcised. That's all the time we got. Join us next week to find out, who don't f-ed up? We'll be right back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist known as Logic. He's also an author whose debut novel is called Supermarket. Please welcome, Bobby Hall.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is like pretty surreal. This is so weird. Why is this weird? I'm freaking out. No. You know what, I should be the one freaking out. Do you know how many people I know and people who have like are fans of the show and they've been like, you're not a show until you get logic on. No, I'm serious.

You, you have cultivated a fan base, like very few artists have. Because many people feel like they they're, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I know, I thi. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I th. I th. I th. I th.

Do, I know, I know, I know, th. th th th th th th th th to to to th th to thr. to thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. I thr. I th managed to have this vibe of being commercial and yet still authentic in the way that you started. Whenever you're doing a show, people, people, like you feel that love from your fans, right? Oh, 100% yeah, that's the thing that like keeps me driven and going. It's incredible to know. Because I mean, I've just always come up on peace, love, positivity, super nerd. Like, I love movies and comic books and all this stuff. So, my Ascension and Hip Hop wasn't really necessarily that easy. Yes. But to have persevered, stuck to it, and to know that I have incredible fans that are like,

hey, I'm a nerd too. And I like your raps, and now I can put out books that they enjoy. completely different for you because I mean this isn't just a book, it's not a book about your life, it's a novel. Yeah. How do you go from being a rapper, a very successful rapper, to just going, I'm going to write a novel? You just read a bunch of books and you're like, I could do that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but my buddy's name is Christian. He's my day-to-day manager, one of my oldest friends. I remember telling him, I was reading all different kinds of novels and I was like, I really want to do this. I feel like I could, because I was never into literature like that because the school system

kind of just shoved certain things, you know, our direction and I wasn't really challenged. Right. Shubbed certain things you know our direction and I wasn't really challenged right and I wanted something fun Something edgy something different and he was like yeah, dude you can't write a book I'll never forget that he was like you can't do it, but he wasn't mean about it. He was like? He's like, he can't thii. He was like, you try and? He was like, you tell was just that belief and him kind of not believing in me in a good way? That's what you need in life. Someone to not believe

in you to get you where you need to go. Yeah. I actually dedicated a part of the book. I was like, thank you for telling me that I couldn't do it. That was honestly the push I needed. He was really sweet about it. And when I did it, you that, you, you, you, you, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. thi. thee. theee an thee an theeean theean. Someone theeean. Someone theanneneneneneed that's what someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone to to want to put your your whole heart into it. But for me it was a fun way to express myself different because when you have raps I mean you have like you know maybe two to four minutes to express yourself in a very like linear right way but with this dude I could drone on and on about like you know produce. But that's but that's what the story is about in many ways it feels like you are writing a story about this character who we come to know in the book who is working in a supermarket and you know something crazy happens in the supermarket I don't want to give everything away but but then his life is turned upside down all of a sudden you've got this mystery that's taking place but there were points of

the story where I felt like this story touched a little bit on who you are as a person, you know, him questioning who he is in the world, how he fits in, how the world affects him as a person. Did you see yourself in the character? A hundred percent. I see myself in so many of the characters there. Even family members and kind of basing different people off of them. But for me, I was like in the midst of battling, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, and, and, and, the, and, to, 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, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, toe.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. toe. the the the the toe. the the the the world, the the the just the midst of like battling my own anxiety and overcoming depression and actually like being able to look in the mirror and say okay you know just because you have anxiety it doesn't mean it's like the end of

the world and I think sometimes we try to suppress those things because we want to be normal or X Y Z but it's like man you got to be able to say how you feel because I try to just you try to just you you to just to just to just to just to just to just to just 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 to to the the the to the the the the the the the 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 the the the try.ea. I I I will will will will will will will. Imea. Imea. trymea. trymea. Im. tryn. tryn. tryn. toe. toe. toe. the the the try. try to just, you know, tuck it deep down, it's only going to do you harm. So being able to write about my angst and what I was going through in my life, and through the perspective of this character, it allowed me to heal. And it's weird, I won't get too into it, but there's two sections, there's two parts of the book, and from the beginning half, to the second half, there's, there, there, there, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and then, and then, and then, and, and their, and their, and somea, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, so.............e.e.e, so.e.e.e.e.e.a.a. their, th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their.r.r.r. their. their. their. their. their.-year break from the book, writing it in my own life. So when I wrote the first half, felt crippled with anxiety, was going through so much stuff, wasn't really taking care of myself. Now I've switched that up, exercise and eating well, and drinking water and staying hydrated and a little bit of scotch. And then the second half, you know, when he kind of awaks, thi, and realizing like, dude, like, take care of

yourself, you can get over it, anyone can get over it, whatever it is that you're going through. And it was really special. It's interesting that you, that you deliver that message, because you feel it in the book, but that is something that you acknowledged in public, you know, which is not commonly the space of rappers, you know, it seems like rap is all about bravado, rap is all about putting forward this facade, and you came out and said, guys, I'm suffering from crippling anxiety, I need to get help, and you went and then you were diagnosed with a mental disorder, and you told people about this. Yeah, that's what made it easier. Right. It's not trying to, you know, like, not like I'm a weirdo or anything. It's just like, I'm just internally having a pan attack attack right now. But, no, just being open and honest with yourself. That's the number one thing. And, you know, a lot of people aren't because of just what we see and how it's portrayed, you know, and when you look at social media, because I actually have an album coming, I'm, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th... th. th. But, th. But, th. But, to, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, the, like, the, like, like, like, like, th. And, they. And, thin, th. And, thin, th. And, thin, thin, th. I's, thin. And, th. I's, they. I's, this, which was fun. Right. It's alternative. Which, which wasn't rap, which is interesting.

No, it was all, yeah, it was indie music and just a bunch of love songs, which was fun, you know, kind of from the perspective of the main character. But there is an having that independent push. But it's crazy to know that there's people from, you know, people who are well known to your everyday hardworking individuals who are, you know, met with such hateful comments and things. And it can really get to you. And that's a big part of what I had dealt with. But overcoming it and realizing, like, you don't need to act, 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, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and, thrown, the, and, tho, and, and, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, their, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, thrown, throwne, and, and, too, too, too.e.e.ean, too.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. And, thr. And, thr. And realizing like, you don't need to search for acceptance, you don't need to act a certain way so that people will love you. Like, you should love yourself and everyone else will follow.

You have a really beautiful acknowledgment in the back of the book where you thank everyone in your life, everyone who helped you put this together, and then you thank your publishers and you say to them, thank you for giving an opportunity to a to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, 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, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a,'t even finish high school, letting him write a book. But the reason you didn't finish high school is one that I think a lot of kids, a lot of older people can relate to, and that is you lived a really tough life. You know, you grew up in a world where you saw drugs ravaging your family, you know, you saw your siblings selling drugs even within your family. When you look at that world, what their, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, that world, what do you think was the biggest factor that got you to where you are today? I always say like God in common sense.

In some weird way, you know, when I would see a man beat my mother, I'd be like, that's not what to do, you know what I mean? Like, when I would see this, smoke crack, now he's not how you treat your body. It was really weird, man, because it's very systemic. Like you see it, you fall into it, you do it. Like it's like welfare, food stamps, sell drugs, do the X, Y, Z. That's all you know. But I wanted more, I just wanted more.

And I wanted to do it in a creative way. And I mean, I love hip hop, you know, I love, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their... their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their welfare, their welfare, their welfare, their, their, their,, these were things that I, people that I came up on, people that in a way raised me. Because even though I, you know, I have my mom and my dad, I was born out of wedlock, my father wasn't a part of my life, and it was hard seeing my mother's struggle and her dealing with bipolar disorder and all these things, it was wild, but I just saw it all and was like, okay, don't do that? You know what I'm saying? Don't smoke crack? Like, seriously. And it's been a journey, but it still is, man.

Every day is like, it's a struggle, but it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful struggle, it's life, man. There's no, you know, what's the sunshine without rain? One thing I've always appreciated you about you is a... Yeah, you know, girl. One thing I've always appreciated about you is how honest you are not just in your rap music, but also just as a human being. The novel is fantastic. I'm waiting to see what you come up with next.
