•Jan 27, 20264 months agoSummary
The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show discusses Rosenberg's upcoming Royal Rumble coverage from Saudi Arabia, analyzes Kanye West's lengthy apology letter addressing his antisemitic statements and bipolar disorder diagnosis, and covers the Alex Predi shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis as part of broader election interference concerns.
Insights
- Mental health disclosures can be used to contextualize but not excuse harmful public behavior; accountability requires sustained action beyond written apologies
- Election security vulnerabilities are being exploited through voter roll data collection under the guise of fraud prevention, with Minneapolis as a strategic target
- Celebrity apologies tied to album releases face credibility challenges; past behavior patterns and continued associations determine public trust more than statements
- Law enforcement overreach against legal gun owners creates radicalization risk among previously law-abiding citizens, destabilizing communities strategically
- Influencers and commentators speaking confidently on unfamiliar topics without expertise drives misinformation; epistemic humility is rare in media

Don't call it a podcast. All right ladies and gentlemen see bro Laura Rosenberg experience Oh, yeah, any experience Whoa, what no it's all about the same way we didn't talk about Which artwork we're gonna use on our show. We don't talk about name changes either. We just get right into it Whoa, the experience is crazy Experienced because here's the deal. Why would we talk about things ahead of time? Like what what clips do we have ready for today's show? I haven't seen a list and I don't know where we took the clips from because I do want to give credit to the Creators that we steal from for this program. I Want to which is nice. Yes, we should I think it's the right thing and we've been doing a pretty good job I mean we've been doing it. It's not second nature yet Like I'm still sitting here like what clips do we have for today's show and I haven't been provided a list Well, yeah, you're used to a rag tag operation and when it's a rag tag operation it trickles down You go, we don't need to do stuff like that, but now we're this is a real thing that's happening that we got planned now I wrote Rosenberg. What should we expect to see on your social media this week from Saudi Arabia? What can you expect to see what should we look for people? I don't know what's happening? Well, the Royal Rumble is happening on Saturday night From Riyadh they built a stadium in the last month, bro You can see a picture from January 5th that shows just dirt I'll wait. I'll wait until you get back to comment You guys put put put this on the side like this doesn't seem like when you see this sort of thing happen When they build stadiums in like a couple of days It's usually problems and I you're doing the dance. I'm gonna help you do the dance. I don't want no smoke Okay, don't the dance and music on Let's go because when you go to these other nations They didn't have people working 24 hours a day every day Looked up one thing I said cuz you know I'm there for a few days and like The my first day I'm gonna have We're going to six flags they have like the oh They have the tallest biggest fastest roller coaster in the world So I'm doing that. I'm doing that. I'm doing that you can still do that Rosenberg. I was a fanatic I loved the the the more loops the better Fam I can't do it anymore. I get all like dizzy afterwards I mean it works 73% of the time So a mess of maybe Maybe but I can't do it no more. I hope I hope it okay for me. So to your point I'll let you know look for that on my social media But then yeah, then the rumble Saturday night I've never done this trip before everyone I'm going with has gone to Saudi before everyone speaks very highly of the way that they're Treated and the accommodations and all the things that that you would expect and I'm excited about the event too who I because These Saudi shows had there's a high expectation That show up and show out talk to me about it talk to me well early on people used to the rumors used to go out there that They were like well the the the folks in Saudi have high expectations the rumor is this is years ago And they're like the room the rumor is they asked if Andre the giant could show up and they'd be like He's been dead for 30 And so there's always kind of a joke There's always kind of a joke leading up to the big Saudi events Like do they have an expectation that people who aren't even alive or somehow gonna show up? It's like hey, we don't care if they're alive or not. We got money you want to show up Look I'm gonna wait until you get back hit the dancing music This is me dancing right now on behalf of Rosenberg cuz I don't want no I don't want nothing happens The way they came for comedians that were going to Saudi Arabia getting big bags The way they came for coffers that were going to Saudi Arabia to get big bag Can I well I know people aren't bright so I have to lay out like a big difference here folks. I have to lay to be Everyone's allowed to have the the opinion that they want on the Saudi Arabia issue and I certainly everyone can I'm not gonna have that today as I'm about to step out the door and go. However, I will say this There is a difference between I am going to go perform and get a huge bag from the Saudi government myself I'm gonna take that and go to a huge show and make as much money as I can There's a difference between that and the corporate entity that you work for which many people do these days says we are making money there You work for us. You're gonna come to the places where we do events I just think there's an important distinction there between people being the ones who decide to go versus the people who just work for a place I don't know if it's huge It's pretty significant no because if you work I don't want to do this right now because I'm This is me dance just hit the dance Let's not get into it man, but let me get argue and I get back but there's a huge difference Because guess what every one of us works for someplace that's doing something we don't know But you have a prerogative Everybody got choice and some people have different level choices And Griff says he doesn't work for anybody but this show So He's not gonna like all the decisions made here They're gonna get to that point too We don't like any of the choices they're making up there either. Well, guess what here I am now Now as we get into the show today, Laura is preparing us to take us to the depths of hell I don't think Juniors 21 savage Fabio situation Which by the way, I would chalk it up and say this is all the work It's it's helping Fabio and it's helping 21 savage because wasn't it yo, wasn't it oddly quiet for 21 savages album rosenberg I'm considering why it I mean I think so considering how highly I heard no, I love the album. I love the album I wouldn't say highly quiet because I saw a lot of talk playing see here. We are again, but it didn't last People play the songs the songs Did they play the songs did they play this? Well, if you want to get into the bochins, you let me know I'm ready. It's time as if yet. We're still early in the program We usually break it. We go to hell with you in the in the lowdown around 30 after before we get to the original gurus Rassan before we get into laura taking us to hell. I don't know if you guys followed this woman I posted her before and I think I've shared clips with you all, you know follow this under ish ebro sent There's other folks. Okay, but I love I really like this woman's takes. She's very smart. She's okay. She's like a biblical philosophical theologian of some sort And she's great. She's great. Her name is monta mater on the instagram Do you have the clip? Oh, I'm excited interesting. This is about stealing the elections This is about making sure that they can fraudulently rig the midterm elections because they know if they don't They will lose all of this violence is a distraction It is to distract from the epstein files and it is to rig the election I'm going to show you this video first. I interviewed governor pritzker on january 15th And I know the other video I posted didn't post either half. That's not important right now I'll get to that later on january 15th. I asked governor pritzker How is this going to affect the midterms ice has something to do with the midterms? How do you think this is going to affect it? And this this is what he said to me on january 15th I can tell you that why is it that they asked for all 50 states voter rolls? um claiming that they want to look for fraud in elections um because in 2026 when they lose the election They are going to claim fraud and maybe try to invalidate the elections And maybe seize the ballot boxes and so and they can only do that if they've militarized, you know major cities That was on january 15th and now chris murphy senator chris murphy Just released a statement you can watch the whole statement here saying that pam bondy sent minnesota officials and ultimatum That to get ice out of minnesota they needed their entire voter roll database because minnesota refused to give them voter data That they have the right to do this is about making sure that the focus isn't on the epstein files And it is absolutely about making sure that we do not have free and fair elections this year Yep, I agree with her. I think we all do Sorry the last point she said It's it's not about the epstein files. It's about No, she says it is it's about both. Yeah, that's what I got from I got it because I'm I'm sorry. I'm sort of getting to a point where I almost believe the epstein files is almost a distraction Like we keep going back to nah, they don't what's in the epstein files I I I'm not saying there's nothing bad in the epstein files. I'm saying What's it gonna do? We know these people there's nothing it could be in there that trump was the most The most epstene epstiener there was I don't think it does anything I think that it's almost distracting us from The they're never gonna leave office part. I I I think I think two things can be true Yeah, I think it all be true. There's something in those files Rosenberg that people are sure I think these people are wealthy masterminds And they are accustomed to running plays on us the regular population at levels That we cannot keep up with they got money they got power they have control of all of the levers They can pull them all bro Yeah, no, I think that's probably fair too, I don't know I just keep thinking like whenever anyone does the but this is all a lot to do just to distract from the I don't know if it's that simple. I'm like that's too. I don't think it's that simple too simplified But I do believe but I do believe um what montanader was just saying right there because Why minneapolis? Why are they going so hard? Think about how hard they're going in minneapolis Yeah, and for them to just say it. Hey, we'll pull ice out if you just give us the voter data like what? That's what it's gonna take And I know that trump hates walls But not enough for this like like there are a lot of people he hates How many times just a walls thing? Yeah, how many times have we seen steve bannon? And god knows who say we have to win the midterms or else we're all gonna go to jail They're shook because they know all of this doesn't look good And they're scared You know what this shows I gotta tell you I know this sounds crazy. I'm kind of impressed With the ability so far Of the voting system to hold up Under this much effort for it to be rigged by the people who are in power There because they have been laura they've been trying to set up to never leave office since trump got in the first time We're now almost at the midterm And i'm not saying they won't be able to stay in because it seems that's the path they're trying to get on But they're fighting bro like whatever was set up to be like no, we're gonna keep these elections there Even if bastards take over it yo, ebro is like game of thrones. They're sitting there at the wall Holding on for dear life to keep this democracy alive And they're fighting to break it down. It's always rigged in all of this sort of thing It must there's something here that's not rigged to the degree they want it to be That they want it to be remember the whole trumps saying get me the votes go find me the votes Yeah, and work like that. It's too hard for them to take over and for those that they say voting isn't important Really? all it is Oh facts. Oh facts That's why minnesota is such a good one Because minnesota's purple. Yeah, like it's it definitely could it could it leans blue. It's like it could It leans, but they could get it They're not gonna fight in california. They're not fighting in new york. They're not fighting in massachusetts But minnesota is probably one they feel they could get And and get those electoral votes or get those congressional seats or get what they need I wonder if that's it. They want the ones that are closer where they have a chance to rig it. That makes sense That makes sense. What are we talking about? Plain in our faces, bro. The alex predi thing um some things we didn't get to yesterday rest in peace alex predi That is the name of the person who was shot in the street by ice agents over the weekend in his back Uh, he had a legal weapon. Let's let's reiterate that A legal that's right. We go with it out of his waistband. He did not pull it out himself And then they shot him while his back was to them Six times was the report Um, did you guys see the obama statement? Did you see the nba's? Yeah nba players association statement I saw you see clinton clinton. I did not see clinton's Did the nra had a statement? That was the most surprising one. I was like, yeah, i'm an in i'd love to get a um I'd love to get a george bush statement I'd love a bush statement right now if you could get all three of them If you could get the three that's it right? Yeah, the three living presidents former presidents To all have a statement against it. I think there's a little bit of them. I just recently sent a clip over to the team The timber wolves held a moment of silence Uh, yes, I saw that I saw that well, well keep in mind their game was postponed on saturday They postponed it to sunday they had a warriors Warriors or or or maybe that one was permanently moved and this game was scheduled for sunday Whatever it was there was a game saturday that didn't happen. All right, and the the douchebag right wing sports slash political commentator clay travis tried to come for the nba in minnesota and say Them canceling the game was grandstanding and political. They did it for no reason Just look the many the minnesota wild played a home game on saturday night. They didn't move their game. Good job, nhl He was quickly informed in the comments hey moron the uh minnesota wild playing saint paul They don't play in minneapolis. They didn't have to cancel their game. They play across the river across the river They play across the river. There was a lot of stuff actually happening on saturday where the tea wolves play so Shockingly someone on the right tried to weigh in make a point congratulations. You played yourself. Do we see the crisp? We forgot the chris broussard statement yesterday now I I saw you send it, but we didn't get all the way into it. He what he do get religious what happened He decided to use his religion to throw out one of the craziest false equivalencies here we go Yo, are you having up there? I think we I think we may have it You see that clearly and boldly state the craziness of democrats Being unable to define what a woman is and saying men can't Can get pregnant and the madness of republicans defending the murder of alex paredy Then you're following a political party ideology and not the lord jesus christ Hey, yo my man It's also f out of here bring it yo, it's there's so many different So is he saying that following either side is ridiculous? You should just be following The lord and savior. Oh just just a classic just a classic just a classic False equivalency. Let me use religion and look you're bad on both sides. None of y'all love christ Some of y'all don't know what a man and a woman is and some of you think it's okay to kill alex paredy Yo, god, you know, honestly when people Bruh Shut you I shut your religious ass up Shut your religious ass up stop using your religion to try to have to try Yo bro go go start your church group or your synagogue group your mos group go have your religious talk It's great when we are trying to have political discourse or socio economic Discussions and you try to make it all about your love of christ and you do it to minimize by doing that You minimize the murder of alex paredy And you make and you totally create a false idea of what the democratic party is even about Like it was such kiss-ass BS because you didn't want to stand on business you were unwilling to just stand on business So instead you tried to drag in the left Bro, just I know it's your man. He's your man. No, it's my man. I've met him a couple of times He's been we've been nice to each other. I don't he he came up to the show. Yeah, but I don't I mean I don't agree with the statement at all. I don't follow him I'm close enough to give a damn Dan Rosenberg why you go? Ebro? That's your man There's people that I that I'm cool with that say crazy ish. That's for Dan I don't even know it well enough to give him as much venom as I would give a cvene smith And I don't know if you guys see a pattern here But people I'm closer to I get more upset with Yeah, I see that I mean, I understand that I'm willing to go I'm willing to go at people I care about or know more intimately than I am around people. I don't really I don't even really know that well All right, that makes sense that well for a lot of reasons. I respect it. I respect it I I I have a nice balance of both I find I have too much anger towards people in general But I would say it's split among the people I know and people I don't know well His name and I saw clips this weekend of of Andrew Schultz talking about trump all these things that I just hit that file here the mental f out of here went there Wait, is everybody's back peddling everybody's back peddling Or what is it? No, no, no, I don't follow these people His clip someone sent it to me his clip was just talking about it's just always excuse making and You know why people would have voted for trump or laid out on the election and blah, blah, blah It's just all and what really bothers me is just you know what it is I Wish I was better at speaking like really confidently about shit. I really knew nothing about Honestly, it's actually a problem. I'm dead ass. It's a problem. I would be better at espn If I could just openly yell and act like I knew When I don't know but you'll notice if you listen to me on don hannah rozenberg if I get super passionate It's gonna be inside something. I know well You're not gonna hear me on hockey trying to like throw a fit But if you really want to be out there like that you just got to be willing to stand on business Of stuff that you have no business talking about That's the key and like to watch like people like Schultz and the like become I mean, these are the main political voices in some people's lives They're like, this is the political voice that I look to this guy The guy from guy code that's who I look to from my political So yeah, that stuff does frustrate me but um people I know also There aren't as many though. We don't know that many people being bad right now Do we I mean there's enough I think most of the look things are so crazy right now that As long as you're just not aligned with the psychopaths, you're on the right side of history True. It doesn't take much. It doesn't take much At all and then when alex predi gets shot in the street And murdered murdered. Yeah, let's say that's broad daylight Yeah like I so when renae good got shot And there you know people um That I work with or like is this gonna get out of hand what's gonna happen next I was like from what I can tell Most people want to keep things peaceful. They want ice gone from their cities Yeah, but they want peace and they want They don't want chaos. That's not what people want. They do not want more violence When alex predi got shot As a legal gun owner who was protecting a woman who was shoved to the ground I'm not so sure guys And and and just like the clip we showed earlier this violence and chaos the continual Uh antagonization of the public to bait us all into a space where someone's gonna do something now Now you're gonna have people who are looking to get active Because you literally had someone was like putting his hand up Literally trying to block pepper spray with one hand Hold his phone with another hand and cover a woman from being abused by federal agents Get shot in the back That type of thing for people who are legal gun owners and people who want to follow the law and who have a moral compass And know what it means to have someone's life in your hands That is stuff that people can't take I would think and I would hope so I would hope so like no no no We don't hope so lord. We don't we don't want people who are gun owners legal gun owners Standing on their property on the corners. Oh, yeah, yes ready to let off on federal agents because now federal agents Cannot be trusted like it's clear cut This man had his back to you You had already taken his weapon The weapon that when everyone talks second amendment, bro. What was the second amendment about again? The right to bear arms To protect you from who the government Literally, he had the weapon for the reason you're supposed to have the weapon but he didn't pull it out. He had pulled it out No, he did everything right. He's in a situation where the government Is acting basically as a domestic terrorist He has a gun on him legally to protect himself does nothing with it They take it from him and then murder him And and yo did you see the video of the of the uh one of the other agents clapping when it happened? No, see that see you see what I mean. You see what I mean You see that. No, no, no within seconds Now the top but see my and and when I when I saw alex pretty get murdered I sent it to some people who are concerned that things may get out of hand and I was like now we have something to worry about This now is something to really worry about Powder keg situation. No, this is it. This is it This is it where you have an icu nurse at a va hospital Protecting a woman a veteran pull his weapon out was on the ground back to people They put they unholstered his weapon And then still shot him in the street And mind you Ebro, you know more about this place than I do Correct me if I'm wrong Minneapolis is one of the Happier, oh better. Oh, it's great. It's diverse. Oh, yeah people get along well like they're doing this in a happy city Where people are pretty good, but this is not Los Angeles or new york or houston or chicago My whole family, you know, I sent you guys pictures and video, didn't I? Yeah, yeah Of the rally Well, yeah, but that was my family. It was my nieces. Yeah Right, those are like and then my brother's out with his wife just standing on the street These aren't people who normally protest No, it's a chill place, right Well, no, I meant my family is not people who normally protest but many Minneapolis in general is is They they protest but they are not It's it's a Minneapolis in my experience and what I know of it. It's a great place. It's got problems like any other city I'm sure but what I understand it's a very inclusive place. It ain't the biggest wild out city though This could happen in no, no, that's for sure Ebro, if this was in oakland right now All right, let's Oakland's not even oakland's not the same as it used to be that's let's start sure sure, but also Yeah, nah and but on that point on that point We're entering a phase where all of you heart rocks All of you street dudes all of you gang members that claim you putting off for your block and you putting off for your building Y'all real quiet when the ice agents come around You're you're willing to terrorize grandma. You're willing to terrorize Children at the playground Right, but when people are coming up terrorizing your neighborhood and your aunts and uncles y'all quiet as church mouses Although maybe that's for the best even to your point maybe maybe that's not what we need Yeah, the point remains I hear your point the point remains the point remains But we'll see a lot of a lot of those neighborhoods a lot of those neighborhoods It doesn't seem that ice is showing up that aggressively either Right and I said this I said this why Minneapolis? Why are they being so aggressive? We talked about this yesterday. I want people to keep asking that question Why are these suburban neighborhoods? Because why why why why? And I think we know why based on the clip we showed a little while ago Is because they want the voter rolls from Minnesota And they want Minneapolis to be destabilized and they want to try to make it into a narrative of chaos So that they could try to turn that state red And so that they could get at these midterm elections And try to and try to really take advantage of the midterms which are on the way Now in other news Rosenberg. Yeah, do you have the Kanye West apology? Um, I don't wait is there audio or is it a print apology? No, it's written. It's all over the place You haven't seen it. I you haven't seen it. It's yesterday. It's two days ago I saw yesterday someone mentioned in the chat and I was like, wait, just Go to the shade go to any of the big blocks. Well, come you guys want me to read the whole thing. I mean, how long is it? Here, let me see if I can get this over to russon to post on on this a lot. That's what I'm saying Here russon russon post this I say we go through chunks of it Now I I did see yesterday after the program, but it needs to be talked about on the program I mean, it's he wrote one two three four five six seven eight nine paragraphs wait 10 11 12 13 14 paragraphs signed with love. Yay That's more than he's ever even read and it starts to those I've heard Oh, thank you 25 years ago. I was in a car accident and broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain I'm sorry. Keep going. No, come on, man. Maybe he's he's leaning on cte, man. This might be some that's right I keep going keep going At the time the focus was on the visible damage the fracture the swelling And the immediate physical trauma the deeper injury the one inside my skull went unnoticed Mmm comprehensive scans were done neurological exams were limited And the possibility of a frontal lobe injury was never raised It wasn't properly it wasn't properly diagnosed until 2023 That medical oversight caused serious damage to my mental health and led to my bipolar type one diagnosis And then he goes into bipolar or disorder comes with its own defense system denial when you're manic You don't think you're sick. You think everyone else is overreacting You feel like you're seeing the world more clearly than ever when in reality you're losing the grip losing your grip entirely Once again people label you as crazy and he kind of he goes in today He said the the scariest thing about this disorder is how pervasive or excuse me how persuasive it is When it tells you you don't need help it makes you blind But convinced you have insight you feel powerful certain unstoppable All right, here's iro. Here's what gets to that the real meat of it In that fractured state I gravitated towards the most destructive symbol I could find the swastika And even sold t-shirts buried One of the difficult aspects of having bipolar type one or the disconnected moments many of which I still cannot recall That led to poor judgment and reckless behavior that oftentimes feel like an out-of-body experience I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state and am committed to accountability Treatment and meaningful change It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a nazi or an anti-semite. I love jewish people To the black community which held me down through all of the highs and lows and darkest of times The black community is unquestionably the foundation of who I am. I am so sorry to have let you down. I love us And then he goes into a manic episode part Well, yeah, he says in early 2025 I fell into a four month long manic episode psychotic paranoid impulsive behavior that destroyed my life As the situation became increasingly unsustainable. There were times I didn't want to be here anymore Now He says I have found comfort in reddit forums of all places Different people speak of being in manic or depressive episodes of a similar nature I read their stories and realized that I was not alone It's not just me who ruins their entire life once a year despite taking meds every day and being told by the so-called best doctors in the world That I am not bipolar, but merely experiencing symptoms of autism My words as a leader in my community have global impact and influence In my mania. I lost complete sight of that As I found my new baseline and new center through an effective regime of medic Regiment of med medication said regime here, but I think he means regimen a medication therapy Exercise and clean living. I have new found much needed clarity I am pouring my energy into positive meaningful art music clothing design and other new ideas to help the world I'm not asking for sympathy or a free pass though. I aspire to earn your forgiveness I write today simply to ask for your patience and understanding as I find my way home with love Yay Well, this is certainly worth addressing here on the program A kind of question. Yeah Respectfully and I'm not gonna totally take a dump on this because you guys know I want I don't want to hate Kanye So I hope that this is the beginning of something meaningful um Why I respect the apology to the black community Why did the jews just get an I love jewish people? I why no apology? Well, didn't you already apologize? Not in this letter not in this letter. Well, well when he went and sat with the weirdo rabbi No, I thought he didn't he put out some sort of apology also. I thought I don't know This seemed like the official statement So I would have also said I am deeply sorry To the jewish community who I clearly hurt my fans and all the people who love me when I you know Reply your saying it's not good enough. I'm not saying that I'm just saying It's incomplete. It still feels incomplete. I was literally waiting for that part Well, he said I regret and I am deeply mortified by my actions in that state And I am committed to accountability treatment and meaningful change It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a nazi or an anti-semite. I love jewish people I'm also just very weary of that doesn't it sound cringe. Whatever anyone just throws in the I love blank I love black people. I love you No, you don't no when I don't I'm glad you do. I don't love all jews. I don't love all black people that that's I don't love all anything So when people say I love all jewish people, he didn't say So anyways, I'm not gonna I guess I'm not gonna nitpick but like the the apology But you are that was I'm nitpicking you should have just said I'm sorry Well, because we're not but see now, but let's keep it a hundred. Let's keep it a hundred Let's keep it all away on it All right, please he also said in his letter He lost his way and he's trying to find his way home and he speaks about how black people are the foundation To who he is that's facts. So this wasn't a lot of this wasn't about everybody else A lot of this was trying to get back home To a place of warmth and love and understanding with people who may truly understand him And cherish him for just being a human being And let's be honest and let's be honest Black people have a long history of welcoming. Oh, bro. Because listen and I get it the shared experience of dealing with this country It makes it easy but come on. Come on. I get it. I do get it. That's right But it's also self-serving and so that's the because that's where you know, you can get a soft landing spot Well, maybe but also what it both two things can be true Two things can be true because the the mist I remember this starts talking about the misdiagnosis of the medical community and the black people have a long history of being abused misdiagnosed And and just harmed by the medical space. So it starts in that space So a lot of this letter is about that. Can I tell you about who else has um, Long history of being misdiagnosed and screwed over in the doctor's office everybody All not super rich people basically you walk into a hospital. It's it's like walking into mitis You you hope they could look at your car make it work. Don't you know mitis, man? Which one name one you don't like I don't But I like that boys. I like mitis. I like jiffy I don't know. I I have mixed feelings about it because I don't know if he's just trying to come back because he has an album Isn't an album on the way there is an album on the way here. We go Laura So I just feel like every time that there's something like this he pulls a stunt So I don't know if I really believe this. This is really one of those we shall see Because album drops, right? Everyone's like, yay. Is he still going to be holding hands with trump? Is he still going to be rocking with Candace Owens? Yeah, what about the white lives matter? It You know what I mean? So I just don't think he's addressing a lot of that and take uh, listen in the letter based on the letter He's taking accountability for his actions He's attributing some of his actions and lack of lack of understanding of his actions to his car accident and the mental and and and brain damage um, he's literally saying I have brain damage and I it contributes to my bipolar And I'm a work in progress. He didn't nothing in here said he was fixed No, nothing. He's even acknowledging like yo, I hopefully I can prove To be a better person And if he's and if he's really messed up ebro, like he's saying he is it could just he could still do the same things again That's the hard part. Yeah How do we know how do we know he wrote this? Well, we don't Um, but also I think there's probably people in the chat who could confirm they have probably family members who deal with this and family members who apologize and say they're gonna be better and they're gonna do all the things and then Things unravel they stop taking their medication or something trigger something and Yes, and I grew my dad was like this and I always felt like he was a manipulator And he took advantage of bring up your business floor step It's okay because I I've talked about it on the show before and that's why to me. I just You know people say oh wait going through mental health, you know issues I don't excuse it because I've seen it. I grew up with a person who used that as a weapon to excuse this bad behavior Like so too, how do you know where the line is that you don't you don't But I also know that as a person who is constantly hurt by someone over and over and over again. Sorry Hurt sorry hurt sorry hurt It comes at times Rosenberg where you're gonna be like, all right enough enough Sorry, I'm sick. Sorry. So is the one thing that we get asked for here or hope for here Uh, not specific to Kanye West but how but specific to how people respond to his behavior Because one of the biggest problems for me wasn't I mean yes his behavior But it was this past that his sick of fans gave him Online that know like he couldn't do anything wrong. He's a genius. No khanye's the greatest That's really the problem The ones that believed it bro because there were ones that were like wait a second. Yes the jews are the devil There was a lot who really really jumped in and believed this Oh, no, we saw that's the thing is where are the comments going to be for all of the other people who supported everything he said Are they where are their apologies? And where are their explanations right because he might have been out of his gourd But I was getting into fights with other artists because I'm like really you're supporting this Like this is I hate to say it. So listen, I believe in forgiveness If this is real and he continues on this path and he really is a good person and he's like yo man for the rest of his life He's like man. I was in a bad way. I do things different now. I will 100 Forgive it's a wait and see It's a wait and see but I am open to it. I would love that that would be way better for all of us who love his music To not have to cringe when we hear his music and go. Oh, nah. Yeah, he's back. That's what we've always wanted However, this is a classic example Of what michael k would say Sorry, doesn't fix the lamp. You know what I mean? The lamp is broken like there He helped contribute. We are now living no matter how much I disagree with and dislike the adl The stats on real anti-semitism not made up fake criticism of israel that they're calling anti-semitism The cases of real anti-semitism are at it like an all-time high I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Yo, and empowering these horrible people just last week guys. You remember all those white supremacists that were in the club at Miami, but remember. Oh, let's see the hell Yeah, but remember Listen, can this Owens Got a larger platform because of kanya. Yes Nick fuentes used to work with kanya My bro, whatever trope kanya ran to the white house and Soft shoot around the presidential desk with trump Like all of this stuff happened 10 years ago or less guys. He ran for president No, but laura what you the people you just laid out That's why it's so hard. That's why your apology has to now come with action. It has to Like we need not immediately I'm gonna need to see videos with you sitting down with kanda. Sohans With you sitting down with nick fuentes with you sitting down with the people that you inspired to take their nazi loving platform kanda says in a nazi loving platform, but she has had a jew hate platform Go now we need to see you go to these people and try to work against the bad that you did You can't just say sorry about my album my bad jews. I doubt that's ever gonna happen I don't so believe i'm open to it Well now, but then there's another layer There's another layer here Because i've still been listening to some kanya's music and trying to find some fire in it I listened to donna one and two. I was looking I was looking for some fire The fire has been limited guys. That's the other issue That's true. Even though people will tell you it's a classic donna's a classic they'll say stop it. It's got some heat on it But the heat rocks haven't been as consistent. That's a whole other convo Since what was the what was the what was the there was an album even where he was talking What was the album where it was had like mountains on the cover where he was talking about? Yeah, medicine. He was just doing railroad and all that was in the in the the wyoming album Yay Is that what it was was it just called yay or I see something wasn't there something? Oh, I'm not bipolar. Yes. I am or whatever There's something like that. Yes. Yes. Yes. That had a few heaters on it though But also had a lot of trash all I'm saying is all I'm saying is is the batting average isn't as hot low So there's another layer here where look, yes, you can apologize and I hope the best for you car. Yay I hope I want you to work through everything you're working through and I hope the best for you And your children by the way And I hope this path that you're on inspires others Who need to go get checked out? Because mental health and understanding what you're going through and the emotional stability being caused by the world around us is huge huge So Yo, you know, do you remember when it's when he first came out around that wyoming album and his discovery was My bipolar is my superpower. Yeah Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say that he just wrote his own letter that says Congratulations, you played yourself. Oh, egg coupled with the other button You didn't use it as a superpower you used it it ended up just being a vehicle for spewing every horrible possible thought in your head So listen, I'm not gonna be some person who says I won't forgive him. Of course. I will I hope he does it I hope he does the right thing I hope he does we'll see um, listen. I think it's time to get to the low down Which then there's gonna be Wait, you mean a rundown the rundown, but then we're gonna be in the low down because laura's taking us to hell This is about to get crazy Who approved this artwork? That's not artwork Graphic All right, wait, did you guys see the rumor that had everybody? Going nuts. So there was a rumor that was going around that bad bunny was going to Wear some kind of like gown or dress to honor queer icons at the super bowl Oh People yo, ebro Pete, you know the one thing that that um is very popular is homophobia You don't say yo the comments the meltdowns Specifically no my I went into like the the spanish blogs. Oh my god They were losing they were crying Oh, well, I don't know if it's true or false and I don't care But guess what if he did do it? It's the right setting because it's in san francisco bay area. So what right? But look Production sources, okay, and I'm just this is what I'm reading Production sources and reports confirmed to tmz that he will not be wearing a dress But Bunny bad bunny could do whatever the hell he wants Like I could easily see him wearing some kind of like skirt thing and ripping it off or I could easily see him Whatever people calm down the fake outrage like I'm more outraged by rosenberg giving kissy faces to his family with the cameras on while you're trying to do your report Can we do the show or not? Like what's going on here? I'm sorry the baby came in she was looking at me and I she was and I just couldn't help it She now she now wait.

Because I don't care about it actually being satan or the devil. It's more like what it's supposed to be You know what i'm saying? Yes. Yes. Yes Think about that. All right, so we're open to suggestions Because people are like, please stop doing it. Please but then I see people we're like, I love this. It's my favorite part Yeah, but I don't know just two things can be true a there's people who are like yo stop playing with satan And b people are like this is so funny and hilarious Either way, it's provoking an emotion that you guys are feeling something and we appreciate you I just want to make but if it's I don't want to offend people religiously in the chat Do y'all feel offended are you offended? I don't think so Rosenberg. Maybe we're on a poll. Let's run a poll. All right. Let's see what the chat says. All right the original gurus at gmail.com Send your emails today. All right gurus been a friend of the show Way before ed sheeran came to the mickey ficky place And now with the new beginning congratulations. We're happy to be on this venture with you merch sold out quick. Let's get some more, please Now to it. Do I get the button or nah? My wife and I have been together for a long time Not a burn it down We have kids older than 11 It's an interesting way of describing the age of your children sir For the past couple of years. We have had moments in the bed that are fire But the fire is just a kindle now She can't get there mentally and I can feel it. It's starting to throw me off so much That I don't want to try The feelings after are a bit much more a bit much for me. I don't know what that means I know some guys are gonna say hey, you're getting some even if it's once a month shut up But once a month and she's not there is damaging for a giver like myself Almighty guru laura, how can I help her get back to being in the moment? Thanks for having the conversation? I hope she hears it and your feedback and it helps us I mean, it's tough and I feel like and anyone who's been married with kids can understand that it's not always uh Sparks, but I think you should talk to her I think you should talk to her tell her how much you love her and how much you want her And just remind her of how important it is to you. I think sometimes like when you get caught up I don't want to say you forget, but it's good to feel wanted. So I just feel like those conversations are needed Are needed We've had enough for you today. We don't need it. Um Um Fine, I would say I would say that um I would say yeah to laura's point you need to get in the nooks and crannies. Yeah, what's really happening here And and and also I don't think people compartmentalize. Well, let me say another way Being able to compartmentalize in a relationship Or when changes happen in life takes practice Right. So being able to turn on the freak mode the way you used to when you had less distractions Takes practice to do it now that you have more distractions or there's been a serious amount of time in between Actually, you know flipping the switch in the freak mode Because y'all haven't practiced it you haven't practiced that or the relationship's changed, you know like it's It's just different man things change. So you got to talk you got to talk and you got to get in the detail Not about the kids And not necessarily about the relationship because this is about Joe emailing about whoa, whoa, whoa Excuse my leg This is about you're talking about fucking wait What the hell you should i'm saying like this isn't about cuddling this isn't about Dates and dinners and maybe that is what turns you get y'all going But what I hear is here we go we're supposed to be fucking You see what i'm saying and that's not getting right That means y'all still love each other. Yeah, these are really good But we ain't boom banging like we used to and that usually is because you don't have enough time to really get it You know get it going. It's hard. Yeah, it's all hard man. This is this is the But this is the real talking it through helps and then hopefully you guys Oh What maybe plan a staycation. I know that help one of my friends they planned a little staycation Without the kids and she was like I did wonders for my relationship Which I thought was great No, we don't Because when I get to fucking it's godly there's nothing to do had nothing to do with saying All right, so they need to talk I said we don't have a great answer This is hard. This is the hard work. This is that whole thing you signed up for it Yeah, where the hard work is that so yeah good luck and god bless what we're saying. Yes talk It's try to schedule sometimes just you without the kids And hopefully you guys can get it on and pop in and sometimes you got to start sexting too start sexting start sexting You know what I mean? Just bite her on the neck. You know what I mean? Show your face in the ass Whatever your thing is whatever you're saying All right Listen, you know me We do not everyone needs to start there Tuesday with Ebro revealing all of his favorite activities.
