Summary

The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show discusses Trump voter regret, ICE immigration enforcement operations, the Epstein files release and implications for powerful figures, and media platform consolidation. The hosts debate accountability for those who supported Trump despite public warnings, and analyze how distraction tactics obscure major scandals.

Insights
  • Media consolidation under figures like Larry Ellison creates centralized control over information flow and algorithmic visibility across platforms including TikTok, CBS, and Paramount
  • Trump's explicit statements about nationalizing elections and taking over voting systems represent openly stated intent to undermine democratic checks and balances
  • The Epstein files implicate global power structures beyond Trump alone, including Israeli officials, tech executives, and media figures, suggesting coordinated distraction from broader accountability
  • Immigration enforcement operations in specific states (Minnesota, Jersey City) may be strategically timed to destabilize voter rolls and suppress electoral participation
  • Platform gatekeeping now extends to censoring specific keywords (Epstein on TikTok US) while allowing visibility in other markets, creating asymmetric information access
Trends
Strategic use of high-profile enforcement actions to distract from larger institutional scandals and document releasesConsolidation of media, streaming, and social platforms under single ownership structures reducing editorial independenceVoter suppression tactics evolving from direct interference to demographic targeting and voter roll manipulationSelective keyword censorship on social platforms creating regional information asymmetriesPublic figures attempting damage control through selective apologies after platform-driven controversiesDaytime talk show format decline as audiences fragment across streaming and short-form contentCelebrity relationship transparency shifting toward separate-residence arrangements among high-net-worth individualsCasual drug use normalization in entertainment and media circles despite public health concerns

Just don't call it a pie, damn. Ha ha! Turn that up. Real scratches, you think, or like, affect scratches. Has to be a scratch. I think Scram Jones did those. Maybe. But maybe not. Scram is a scratch. Talk right into your mic, Laura. If it's Scram, it's a scratch. A real one. I just couldn't feel that from the beginning that. A real. It's a real scratch. It's a vibe. Okay. Do we know if, um, so, so full disclosure, we're welcome to show happy Wednesday everyone. Did we, we talked about the Grammys the other day. Yeah. And the great job that Lauren clustered. Yeah. Uh, we're obviously a very close to Jerry Wunder. Yes. Did Jerry have anything to do with anything they didn't know? I don't know. I did not ask. I want to know. Clough would be a fun guest for us to get to. Yeah, absolutely. Lauren, would you probably get? Like Lauren is someone who doesn't do much, but you have always had a relationship with her. Yeah, we're cool. So yeah, I mean, I would love to get her on the show. Cause she wants to talk. I'm just curious about, I want to know. And you know what, we share Quest love too. I had all these names to the list, folks. Lauren is amazing. We just have to do the show. I just don't when the cameras come on and you're asking her questions, I change. I feel like. You know what I'm saying? Different persons. She seems so friendly. Nah, she's the greatest. But now the cameras are on and stuff to talk about. And so then she's kind of, I don't think she's not in. What is, what is that? What if we get, okay, so what if we tell her exactly where I want to talk? Some people don't like being asked questions, guys. Well, I'm just be honest. What about just chat? Some people don't trust it. They don't trust the cameras are on. I like to shine and you're asking me questions. But I just thought you guys are cool. No, no, she may not want me asking her questions. Well, just think about how much has she ever done? She did the thing when Apple gave her the number one album of all time. They did a little thing with her little thing. She popped out for a second. Yeah, he said a little thing. But she's, I wonder whether some of the thing is with Lauren, is that her, the way we were exposed to her was so gigantic. It was always so, like the, the miseducation was so big that you, it's, you kind of end up in this perfect space and you like, don't want to mess it up. Well, I also just think, look, man, I can, I don't do a lot of, people, I do a lot of interviews, but I don't sit and have people ask me questions a lot. Think about it even when you guys, how often do you guys sit down and some of my interviews you? Not that often. And I gotta say, I gotta say, I don't, I don't think I like it. Really? I don't love it. I don't love it either. I, I, I in some ways am more comfortable with it, because I feel like when you get asked questions, I don't know. I feel, I, but I'm comfortable with it. I, but I'm comfortable talking. So asking me questions is not hard. Yeah, I don't love it. But so when people are like, like we were talking about J. Cole yesterday, I understand why you don't want to do interviews. Bro, I said everything in my songs. What else you want from me? Like, for instance, one of the reasons I never started a podcast and went on his podcast, I'm on air all day. Bro, I talk all morning about how I feel. Then I go on Apple and I play music. I love what more do you want from me to say? Well, respectfully, as you would say to me right now, this isn't about you. Why not Lauren Hill though? She doesn't have a podcast. No, I, I'm just saying I can relate. Right, but you say a lot, otherwise. Like, it is interesting, these people who don't ever say anything and you think like they might want people to know more about them for their legacy. And maybe she feels like people know too much about her personal life or about her kids. I don't, we don't know anything. Yeah, we know a lot. No, we don't. We absolutely know who she had. We know about her family. That she has kids. We know about kids, which I'm sure she doesn't want to talk about. We know about the controversy between the Fuji. So you know about that. I don't sure she doesn't want to talk about what's going on with prize. She doesn't want to talk about John Fortage's passing. Or maybe, maybe. But why not? Maybe. Maybe some beautiful moment. Some hot, you know what I mean? Maybe she would. You can't trust that that's what it's going to be about. I don't know. But that's what that's all I'm saying. And I don't know this to be true. She might watch this and be like, ebro. No, I'm about to f up. You don't know what you're talking about. I would love to come on. I'm going to tell you one thing. I hope that ebro when people talk issue about me, if it ever comes up to people to him, I hope ebro defends me as well as he can defend other people's decisions to not do things with us. I swear to you. You hear mostly good stuff about yourself? And that's because I defend you. No, I don't. So you're not doing a good enough job. By the way, when I just rub my head and reminding me that video, LeBron the other day, you all saw that. You all didn't see the LeBron video? No, I'm sorry, Basque. If you find it and you can get it in, please. LeBron after the next game was sitting there with his brush during having a conversation, brushing his joint like he had so much hair. And I saw people posting it going, this is the level of delusion. I hope to achieve one day. There was nothing there. No, he's brushing his head, bro. Listen. No, LeBron, I love you. No. Congratulations. You played this. It's gone, bro. Bring LeBron. You might as well bring a brush to the show. Imagine if he's in the brush. Stop. Stop right now. No, look gone. I have one. Hold on. I have my beard, bro. Your man was like this. It's gone. It's over. And by the way, I want to say to LeBron, I love where you went this season with your haircut. What's different this year? He cut it mostly. It's mostly gone. He's not like trying to hang on to this like, poch poch, one, two, skip a few hair. About it. There's one, two, skip a few again. What, yeah, what were we doing for a long time? What was the artist you told me who has luxurious hair? And he got the amazing hair. Oh, no, John Cena. John Cena. Well, but here's the deal. Here's the problem, folks. Here we go. Hair, hair transplant talk. And I think Rosenberg's going to go get it. No, I'm not dipperstein. My manager shut me down when I was like, yo, I had a good talk with John Cena. Maybe I should go to this guy. He went to in Georgia or wherever it is. North Carolina. Right, right, right. And dip was like, you absolutely cannot do that. I was like, why not? You don't get to tell me I don't get to half hair. He was like, this is your look. It is over. There is no changing this anymore. You're a bald man. You are a bald man. But John Cena explained to me, the problem is, where's the country people all go to get their hair? We're science says turkey. Turkey, right? Everyone's like, oh, I got to go to Turkey. Yes, Turkey. Once you hear that become the thing that everyone says, you can be sure there's a reason. The reason is they're doing it for cheap. Where you at? So everyone's like, go to Turkey. Because when you go to Turkey, get it done for like 10, 15 grand or whatever it is. If you do it in the US with like the best possible people, you might be looking at like 30. Okay. My question is, if LeBron really had cared, like, why didn't he ever, because they can do it. Like, what isn't there a thing where it doesn't take for some people? If you go to a bat, so what Cena explained to me was, it's the top, they take the follicles out. Like from the back, you need to have enough, you need to have enough. This needs to, this segment needs to be sponsored. Somebody clip this up and send it. Broke them a nap to death. We need that back. You don't have enough in the back. You can't do it. But I'm sure LeBron does. He said that the problem is when you go to the cheap places. And why would LeBron go to a cheap? He wouldn't. That's right. But maybe back then he did. He just heard from someone this is where you go. And he did this a while ago, right? A while back. It's the period between when they put the follicles back in your head, they can die. If it's not done the exact right way. So they end up putting it all in. But guess what? A bunch of it just died in the last half hour before they got it in your head. Damn it man. And now you just put dead follicles in. Oh man. Congratulations. You played yourself. Damn it man. And think about that. But John Cena's came out luxury. You want to see luxurious hair. Do you have the video of C.L.O. Green at the Grammy's the other day? Right? See low green sun. You want to see luxurious hair? You bring it. Oh yeah. Run the tape back. Think I met C.L.O. Green sun before. Did you? If they thought you won. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I mean you look. I guess it opens up just an era of mystery and makes it seem like a little bit bigger than just a human being. If you're listening, you're not watching. I love it. My man looks like insane clown posse meets Marilyn Mason. He's kiss. He's kiss. Yes, big kiss. Well, it was a guy, Gene Simmons. You have to come to life tonight. You're gonna turn a couple corners at the end of the night. I'm gonna will. I will. But here's the thing though, that runs in the family. Remember that is, it's in the family. Y'all forget, Sealo Green, when he started Norris Barkley or maybe he was even before Norris Barkley, I don't remember. But definitely during Norris Barkley, he was wearing full star trek outfits. Yeah, crazy stuff. He did fake hair stuff too, right? I don't know. No, he's bald. No, I don't remember if you ever walked rocked crazy weeks too. I don't remember. He may have. In that era. He may have. The Sealo Green musical story. I mean, there's obviously some news headlines that weren't so great. But the Sealo Green musical story, what was the, remember the boomerang soundtrack? What was the name of that group? There's not a, I thought there's a, oh, it's got the pre-goody mob. Pre-goody mob. Like right before Goody mob, he was in a group that's on the boomerang soundtrack. I think then there was Goody mob and then there was Solo. Okay. He's on the Carlos Santana. I remember that Carl Dope Carlos Santana. I'm Wycliffe did. Yeah. He's the one that won all the Grammys. Yeah, then he's on Norris Bark. Like Sealo Green. Not the mentioned outcast features too. No, yeah, then there's the, all right. So he's always been like super expressive and he's an artist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. The La Faced Cartel. Yeah, maybe that, maybe that. Because he was on, the La Faced was where he was at. Yeah. So that's the only group I see. Reversal of a dog by the La Faced Cartel. Oh, man, I die without you being done. It gets no better, buddy. I got to tell you right now for my money, folks, in that movie. And they have, if you remember, when you're on boomerang sound. Yeah, we're talking about it. Okay. It's your fault. I didn't know how you got to pee. I'm done. I forgot that was on there. And remember at this time for the audience, Rosenberg was like, how would you say you're in Fatue Ways for Hallie Berrywood? Oh, man, it's out of control. Out of all the lo- No, not posters. There were no posters. The posters weren't staying on wall because it was sticky stuff on them. So you had to change. First of all, this is pre-postured. Don't you ill-bugger woman. We'll get back to you and your posters on the wall. This is pre-postured existing. This is when I just had the her as the 50 most beautiful people people thing. It wrapped up in my pocket like a psycho. That was stuck. Oh, man. So we got to get her on the show one day because this is different. Yo, this gets lined up. Not yet. Oh, it's gonna go. No, the made up gets like, anyways, the scene though. When they, because they have the, you know, David Allen Greer and Eddie getting to the thing over Hallie because David Lhala and Eddie ends up looking up with her and blah, blah, blah. And then Martin's like, nah, nah, man, we just get to have one big moth in a hug, man. And he brings them all together and they hug on the roof. And the second they hug and they turn around to go inside, the, the, the, the like they, they cut to like the buildings in the background and the lights go on and it's the, is it my turn? Oh, man. That's from a moment in life. You guys, that doesn't hit you guys. No. It was beautiful, but I don't know what you. The, oh, that movie was so good, man. Yo, Rosa Marks always wanted to be in love, isn't it beautiful? Like when you really think about it, like, that's not even a love scene. No, that's like a brotherhood scene, but that song was always that song of all the, the lovey song that joint is shout to PM Don, rest in peace, man. I'm not both of them. Um, no, I'm sorry. What's, what's what's my man's name? Say we're terrible. Hit us with the button. Damn. Why do you do that? You could have just let it be because I was going to shout out Jersey City because he's from Jersey City. PM Don got a really bad rap because K.R.S. one went through them off the stage. And for no reason. Yeah, there was no reason to do it. That we know of Prince B. Prince B, yeah, rest in peace. Jersey City, New Jersey. Speaking of Jersey City, New Jersey, I South, they're heavy. Yeah, I was moving around Jersey City. So pay attention. Ice was also in the lower East side. Um, low East side, lower East side targeting cooks. Say where? Mm-hmm. Hey, oh, for you people out there, you, you morons who can fix your lips and be like, oh, Obama deported people by the point. Yes. And we've had ice since 2001, but they were not just running in restaurants, busing in people's houses, breaking windows on people's cars who were American citizens. Like, it just wasn't this. And so it's not the what it's to how, man. Like, I can't even be with you. Have to have these convos. What? Natalie, Natalie sent me a video this morning at like 6 a.m. That's my wife. Rose and Mark's Natalie. Up there seeing political videos to ruin your whole day. First thing at 6 a.m. She sent me two videos. Okay. And I watched the second when she sent me and I was all choked up because it's a scene in Minnesota where it's like somebody's yelling. They're here. Go inside. I see. Yeah, I saw that. And it's like, what? On the street, right? It's a bourbon neighborhood. Yeah. Well, and people are clear with, like, please stay inside. So I, I know we're all triggered by the videos. And I know we're all triggered by the reality, the Don Lemon of it all, the, that videos like that of it all. Are we clear that this is happening because a, they want to destabilize Minnesota as a state and Minneapolis and get those voter rolls? Like everybody never forget that. They said it. They said the woman, the attorney general said, we will get ice out of there if you give us your voter rolls. People forget also they just went and took all the, the voter registration and, and ballots from Georgia, Fulton County, the black, one of the blackest counties in the United States of America. Hmm. Just went and took that. Why would they want those? They're also keeping from us that Tulsi Gabbard has some, some, some, something in her file that they say will jeopardize national security. So they're not allowing it to the public. Tulsi Gabbard, who was on the scene in, in Fulton County, Georgia when they took the, took the ballots and she, and why is she even, she shouldn't even be a part of it. She shouldn't even been there. It's not even a thing she's supposed to be a part of. But the reason, and so I want to say to everyone else, lit or watching right now, I don't think we have national security. I want you guys to stop. Our government in the United States works for Israel or Trump works for Russia. Tulsi Gabbard works for Russia. Like what are y'all talking about with this national security? What are you hiding? When you look into the Epstein files, what national security? Like what are you securing from what? I know. Y'all been, Epstein was in here getting you psychos and weirdos trapped up with children. It's in the documents. So you were gall, and by the way, Bill and Hillary are out here about to go testify. Yeah. They're not afraid to stand in front of the public and go testify. Well, they were going to, weren't they going to try to come for them if they didn't. So they just volunteered and said that we're going to come talk to them. Yes. Yes. Yeah. No, at first, no, at first, they were just trying to drag them. Bill and Hillary said, we want to testify. Yeah. That's what they said. Then they said, oh, no, we don't want you to testify. They said, no, if you want us, or excuse me, then they wanted them to come testify, but not in public. Bill and Hillary was like, no, we want it to be seen what we testify. We don't want to do this behind closed doors. Right. We want it to, we want people to see the word testimony. Yeah, the words need to be seen. Right. And then they said, and they said that we hope that they'll do it in a mutually agreed upon date and time. And then they said they hope that them doing it will set the precedent that other people have to do the same thing, which of course, it won't work, but it's a nice thought. Well, do we have Wally Rishi from Instagram? I want you guys to look at this. So while we're hooting in hollering about ICE, which we should be. Yeah. And we have to be able to do multiple things at the same time. No, can I see this clip? Please. The X US ambassador to Mexico impregnated an 11 year old girl. This is Earl Anthony Wayne, the former US ambassador to Mexico from 2011 to 2015. Wait, watch that. X US ambassador to Mexico, Mr. Earl Anthony Wayne about his involvement. Trigger warning. We probably should have said that. Yeah, ahead of time. Thank you. Sorry. Run it again. Because this is, and if you got kids watching, buckle up with an underage girl and he attended and was arrested by federal police. We believe that blank and Epstein were involved organizing this party and it was held in Mexico at a US consulate controlled housing facility. It was sentenced in Mexico in 2017 to a life sentencing for impregnating an 11 year old girl. Her son is DNA. Matches Wayne's 100%. After a huge payoff, the US State Department made a deal with the corrupt judge to allow an X US Marine to stand in his place and serve his sentencing in Mexico. After Anthony has an outstanding arrest warrant here in Mexico for avoiding sentencing. Earl Anthony Wayne is now a professor at American University. They actually teaching classes in the spring of this year on US foreign policy diplomatic practice. After the started circulating online, Earl Anthony Wayne deleted his ex account, reporting on more Epstein related documents. Those other videos are on my YouTube channel. The Epstein story. Yes, it's about Donald Trump. He is currently the president of the United States. Of course. Okay. But it is also about all of these powerful people around the world. Right? What was the former Prime Minister of Israel before Netanyahu Barak? A good brock. Yep. He's lots of emails with Epstein, lots of them. Prince Andrew. Yeah. Right? Yes. Yesterday, day before yesterday, I talked to you guys about Barry Weiss, the head of CBS's wife, who was communicating with Epstein. Elon Musk. Elon Musk. The owner of the giant's tish. Didn't know that one. Oh, yeah, he's in there. I read those emails are weird. The guy who founded, started Victoria's secret, who gave him that guy's way in there. Yeah. Right? Like, it's a lot of people in there, but I pointed this because we are being inundated with so much stuff. It's hard to pay attention to what really matters. So most of us will pay attention to the fact that ISIS in Jersey City, that's in my backyard, right? So that I can't, but why are they in Jersey City? Why are they in Minneapolis? Why is this happening anyway in the way that it's happening? A lot of this noise is because they don't want us focused on the Epstein files. You said, uh, uh, Ballard, what was Ballard's tweet? Someone said, uh, it wasn't him, but he retweeted it. Someone said, Oh, you know, it's the craziest thing about, um, Trump shutting down the Kennedy Center, uh, all the raping kids in the Epstein files. Yeah. Yeah, like, because all these other stories that are meant to make us talk about other stuff, not that the most horrific things imaginable with the most powerful people in our country are in these files. And by the way, I'm going to say it again, not just our country. Right, right? All over the world. Different, all kinds of people. Did I tell you guys how I saw on Instagram how TikTok is now censoring the world? The word Epstein, see when mentioned in DMs, but only to, to us users. Currently, everyone else can see them. The UK, other parts of the world, because remember, Laura, don't TikTok is now the whole US functionality and operating system of TikTok is all based. There's a US version of TikTok, which is controlled by Larry Ellison, which his son and family controls paramount, which is CBS. Yeah. That's the whole thing. That was the whole deal was that the guy who runs CBS, all these people are now running all of it. So you have Barry Weiss over CBS news. Yep. Ellison over all of it. Paramount, CBS, TikTok. So when you are tick, I think it's important. And we got to practice this just like you just went and mentioned TikTok. It's this way in the US, but not all over the world. You have to remind yourself that just changed. It's important to remind people that TikTok is now what you're seeing is controlled in the United States, the algorithm, the data, the access to the data, all that. We were told that we should be concerned that China had access to our data. Oh, yeah. That was so much. That was a big, dangerous that was. And I want to reiterate there, on all the platforms, the world has access to your data. You know why? Because they sell your data to advertisers. Right. I don't know how you advertise us from all over the world could buy your data. So anyone could buy your data. Right. China could still buy your data. So what are we talking about? But you know what we're talking about? Congratulations. You played yourself. But I do think it's all very confusing. And that's why I just get frustrated because we talk very loosely about the Epstein files. And I think everyone's obsessed with it being about Trump. And whenever I say, well, he is the president of the United States and people voted for him. I totally get it. But I think people keep waiting it for the smoking gun on Trump to be in the Epstein files. And I don't know that I think we may be being misdirected that there may be something else that's more sinister and more important, even than Trump's role in the Epstein files. It's just people are so desperate. We're also desperate to find the thing to take down Trump that we're hoping that's the thing that's in there. I don't know that I think he's the level of primary player that everybody hopes. Why? Don't want him in control of what he's in control of. So they're focused on that. Well, they think that's the way out. But the thing is, my point is nothing's the way out. He literally held an insurrection. He's openly now trying to go like into Georgia and get and force people to make up votes. He's going to Minnesota sending ice and saying, give us your voter rolls. He's doing so many more obvious things that should disqualify him from being president. But we're obsessed with we're going to find it in there. I don't know that we are. And that's why he was he's sort of confident that it's not going to be enough. And he knows his people unless there's video or photo evidence. Here's say, photos of what though of him with Epstein or that's not enough. We have they cards are him saying, hey, bring what are you saying is a little birthday card or a key or a little secret or yeah, another another wonderful secret or here's to another wonderful secret, whatever the hell it is. But again, to your point, we don't do they won't do it. But also, no one turns on, but also this stuff has been there. Right. Epstein was convicted before Trump was in office. Right. So other people are knowledgeable about this that are not Republicans. Right. Right. So this is bigger than like to your point, it's bigger than just Trump. But I think people are focused on Trump because he's the president. And he's the entity that currently has the say so to either stop this from being, you know, tried and push forward or get him being removed so that it can be. You see what I mean? Like he is kind of the, I guess, Lynch pin in the whole chain. Right. So you would have to remove them and then prosecute. But I still don't believe is going to happen because why didn't they do that before? Yeah. And now they don't have the numbers to do it. So maybe after the midterms, that's why they're so scared of the midterms in theory. They're shook. Is because once you, maybe if they get control, they could do more. It's all this. Congratulations. You played yourself. We should all be embarrassed. We should all be very embarrassed. And mostly you if you voted for Trump. Yeah. More so than us. Less than me. Yeah. Yeah. No. I mean, I'm not sure if you were regretted and there's so much, there's so many who's still like are just supporting and just they're running out of words. I'm not here. I'm, I'm, I'm beyond it. Call me a bad guy. It's tough for me to sit and listen to people talk about regretting it. I, me too. I can't do it. Me too. I look, you're an idiot. I can't do it because you knew all of this. If I knew it, you knew it. People just didn't believe it would happen. Who are you texting? My wife. I'm sorry. No. No, it's not about that. Natalie, stop texting during the show, man. We're launching a new show. For God's sake. I know. We're trying to like, we're trying to keep the mortgage paid around. Yeah. I can't be distracted during the show. I can't be distracted. I'm sorry. I'm easily distracted as you know. Yeah. And whose idea was it for you to look at the chat? Whose idea was that? I didn't do bad looking at the chat. You did okay. Cause I'm more, I'm more capable of doing that than you guys are. Than me? I think so. Really? Yeah. You're steering the ship. I don't think, I think if you could do that, we're losing you all together. Look, the ELR show, if you are in the chat right now, shout to you. Shout to everybody in the super chat, given love. Shout to everybody who's subscribed. Listen, we have what, almost 50,000 subscribers. Yeah. About 2000. Yeah. And a nice number on Patreon too. We got about 2500 to 3000 people show up live every day. Yeah. We have to take out the time. I ran into a lot of people, um, Easton's football games and just out and about. It's like, yo, we really miss you in the morning. And I'm like, yo, check out the ELR show on on YouTube every day eight o'clock. And they're like, really? I'm like, yeah, we're live every day eight o'clock. And they didn't really, it's going to take time. They didn't, they didn't, they didn't know. Uh, and beat in really pro show. Pro show. Don't show. They don't know. Don't show. And don't care about what's going on in the hood. But subscribe and also like, like all that stuff. Very important share, but that like button matters. I think it's going to take time for people to not only know about it, but then get used to the idea of I open YouTube in my car when I'm driving. I know. It's like, yeah, let it rock into YouTube app. Now, you can listen on the podcast later. It may be easier for you. What times are podcasts usually go up, Griff? Uh, I feel like Griff's line. Well, you could always be listening to the day before though in the morning. So like if you, let's say you drive on Tuesday, you listen to Monday show at, you know, 730 when you get in the car, whatever. If listening on YouTube isn't your thing, your cup of tea if you have options for you. Um, now we have a black history month. That's right. That's happening. Happy black history month, everyone. Uh, yesterday I failed in my attempt to include shiny cultures, black, fact on the program. I was vetoed. It's just a thought. I was told it wasn't. It was a uncouth. Yeah, I just waited. Shady for me to be watching to see if shiny culture would deliver more than four black facts in February. Yeah. Yeah. You think that I still, I still want to do it. I mean, listen, it's interesting, but I still don't, can you imagine if shiny culture delivered a video black fact every day and February? We couldn't get an audio. I wanted a video. I told him to do it. It's not happening. And he was like, yeah, yeah, we'll do it. And then I was like, well, listen, these, these, we got to go on these cruise. These cruise is folks. These cruise isn't cruising themselves. What was his black factor about? The one that they posted was about how hot 97 and WBLS were the first outlets in New York to play international music. Huh? That's what it was, right? Yeah. Reggae, Calypso, dance hall. Then he's like hip hop, R&B, they didn't mention kiss FM. Even so, I just don't know if it's a true black fact. Is it? And why an international music? It's black history month in North America. It's for black Americans. But it's a black fact still. It's still a black fact. If it's a fact, for sure. I don't know if that's true. My guess is though, respectfully to hot and BLS, there are a lot of radio stations in New York, public stations, you know, every way is that the people control where I think international music's been getting played for longer than BLS. Maybe BLS wasn't really on some reggae dance hall. No, they played Mama Zah, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Zah, that's not Jerry, that's African. That original record. They were playing that original record. So Makosa, yeah. Yeah, that was you sure? Positive. You remember that? Frankie Crocker was playing that. You know, like a big record. Okay. All right, well, we got a black bag. What do we do? We have a fact that's black. Yes. No, we have a black fact. Can we call it a black fact? You can't own black facts. Yeah. I'm not. You know what? No, I can just own that. They own the group. No. They own the guru. They own the guru. We keep it in a bean. We just change it around. Okay. I don't know how these rules work, guys. Do whatever you want. Who's this? Who's this with our black fact today, Laura Stapp? You should follow him. He goes by deaf, not aunt, and he has great content. Let me see. He's one of my favorite creators. Come on, Ed. Did you know this? Keenan every Wednesday's the reason why the NFL puts so much money and time into their Super Bowl halftime. In the late 80s and early 90s, he had a show called In Living Color. It featured a diverse cast and even put on some of the biggest names that we know today, like Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Foxx, and even Jim Carrey. Prior to 1993, the Super Bowl halftime show wasn't what we know it to be today. It wasn't full of star-studded performances and celebrity pageantry. It usually was just adds a break or coming attractions for a specific event. In 1992, it was no different. They showed an ice skating competition during the Super Bowl halftime show. Knowing this information, Keenan every Wednesday and the executives at Fox came up with the idea to air a live broadcast of In Living Color to try to take away some of the viewership from the Super Bowl. And it didn't just work, it worked really well. Out of the Super Bowl, 79.5 million person viewership, In Living Color took 11%. And a lot of those people didn't tune back into the Super Bowl. And I felt got wind of this. They weren't too happy. And the next year they spent $1 million in booked Michael Jackson. And that's a fact. And I'll say it based on... That's a very... That was very well done. Very cool. That's deaf not ant on Instagram. Yeah. I mean, I brought that black fact last year, but this is a really good fact. I mean, he broke a damn. It's not about usual. I'm just saying it. Black history month. No, no, it's done beautifully. It's done beautifully. I felt like you're trying to hate on deaf not. No, no, I just want to have his moment. No, no, he really... Honestly, obviously. Of course, didn't have all that. No, and all I did was say, hey, listen to Michael Jackson podcast. Did you know when Living Color? That's all I said. That was really well put together. That was... That was dope. Thanks to deaf not ant. That was great. Definitely not ant, man. And listen, that fact was black. That was a black fact. All right. And I'll say it based on facts. There you go. Laura, you ready for the rundown? Yeah, let's do it. All right, let's do it. Laura got the rundown turned that up. Trends on glow when she pulled up. Headlines heavy, but we still cut up. I still fashion we don't slow up. All right. What Miss Kiki Palmer was trending because she was a guest on the Today Show. And she shared a really interesting tidbit about, you know, her love life. Okay. All right, check this out. You can be at a guest house. You know what I'm saying? We can be on the same, you know, land. But I'm over there and he's over there. We are. At best, separate rooms. Okay. So what about, you know, you go back to me at the Tutu brushes. Uh-huh. No, so he can mess my bathroom. Is that your heart? So I just feel like, you know, we'll be gober excited best one. She was like, I don't want to be at my house. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Time out. You're for real, right? Yeah, I'm so aware of that. So what about even, Mary even. So you're married, you can go live around the corner. Two of my corners. You're going to be great. What about a guest house? What do you let them live in the guest house? You can be a guest house. I mean, so do you want kids? Um, I could be open, but one thing I need you to know is that I never want to live together. You're so question. I take it personally. But think about how fun it would be to be like, I'm going over to my man's house. Yeah. Yeah. Over there. You know what? It keeps things. It keeps things right. It's all exciting. I want to go sleep on his couch. Yeah. You know, and he better clean when you're coming over. That's what I mean, listen, who are we to judge? I'm not, I love this. It's totally not mad at this one. You know who has a successful relationship and partakes in this. Cheryl Lee Ralph. Cheryl Lee Ralph. Yeah. I'm sure Cheryl Lee Ralph. Listen, I over 25 years. It was loose to me that there are a lot of people doing this. And I'm been together for 30, 20 plus. I'm going to say it's rich talk. Let's be clear. It's rich talk. Because you got to have two households. So there's that that that parts are real. Sure. But if you can afford to do it, why would you not? Because you have the option to be together as much as you want. But to be able to like, I'm good. I'm going to go chill. Wow. Pretty tight. Now, I think what I would do, I don't know if I would do that. And I'm fortunate to be in a situation where I actually still like cuddling. I like sharing space, whatever. But hypothetically, if I was Kiki Palmer, I would be more of a, let's, let's get condos in the same building. Ooh, nice. Perfect. Easier. Yeah, I get that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, upstairs downstairs. Yeah, I mean, same hallway, whatever. Fire. But the point to me is just about having your own space to go to when you want to. Right. Now, Kiki Palmer's got enough money where it's kind of like, do you need to be down the street around the corner? Can we just have two houses on the same property? I mean, I could argue also, your own room is probably. So I know, I'm familiar. There's multiple people I know that have that scenario. Yeah. They've been married for like 20 plus years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have their own, they sleep in different rooms. Sometimes they sleep together? I don't know. But they have their own spaces. But they have their own spaces. And usually that starts because somebody snores or. But often, often that's the beginning of something bad, but it doesn't have to be. I mean, I know somebody who's been married for like 15 years and they, and they sometimes sleep together or they just. But can I keep it up? I've said, but then they separate because of the snoring. I'll keep it a buck though, back though. Okay. People don't love even with their close friends talking about all of, all of their details. So they will give you some details like, yeah, we have separate rooms and it's great. Right. Right, right, right. And it's not great. Yeah, but my friend's scenario, for your point, she would like it to change. Right. She's been trying to work with him. And he's just kind of like, you know, doesn't want to go to the doctor. So it's. But it, but to Lord, what you're saying right now is, and we'll get to the gurus in a little bit. Okay. What you're saying right now is, I want to stay with you. I love you. But you're not making enough changes to yourself so that my day to day isn't affected by you being in shambles, a slavvently pig. Yeah. Or whenever you got going. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because you're not willing to make improvements, but I still want to be with you. Right. Love you. So that's a solution actually in many ways for people who do love each other and maybe have everything else is going great. So you have, I need my sleep and you, or you are a slavv and I've asked you 9,000 times to clean up after yourself in the bathroom and I can't take it anymore. No matter how you cut it, I don't think that take from Keke is crazy. She's rich. She does. She does a lot of stuff going on. It's definitely rich people talk though. Yeah. Yeah. We've got two houses, two of everything. Yeah. All right, guys. In other news, the Kelly Clarkson show has come to an end. Oh, man. Yes. I'm having seasons. Now, she's saying that she's prioritizing family and saying that it wasn't an easy decision, but that's what she's going to do. I have to assume as much as I like the Jennifer Hudson show that people realize that this type of thing is a real job. Oh, yeah. But wait, there's more. I have more. Sherry Shepherd also canceled after four seasons due to the evolving daytime television landscape. Rumors that Jennifer Hudson might be. It's a rumor and a Drew Barrymore is in there too. The L might be gone. Rumors. It's that gig. The daytime talk gig is hard. And also, guys, here's what I would tell you. What I bet is going on here is a lot of the wives who are chilling at home and watching daytime talk or husbands, whoever's home during that daytime, I bet a lot of those people like everybody else are now sitting around scrolling their phones. Absolutely. So they're not sort of the TV on anymore. You got to give more reason to turn on this. But then there's also this is network, bro. You know how many apps and shows? You know, bro, I can binge because remember back in the day, it was so poppers. So you would just turn on the afternoon. Maybe there was a, a, a murve griffin or something, but you used to watch not murve griffin. Andy Griffith. No, I'm talking about the talk shows. Oh, but that wasn't during the day though. That murve wasn't murve on. Griffin was during the day. I don't remember that. That's ahead of my time. But price is right. Price right. That's it. That's how we're talking. What else was on the afternoon? Wasn't Sally Jesse Raphael? Yes. But I'm saying before Sally Jesse, like I'm telling like old school general, general hospit. Well, that was always, yeah, mornings and into afternoons. Right. So now all of that content still exists or styles of that content. You could watch, you know, Taylor Sheridan's got Dan, all these damn so poppers. You got Landman, Tulsa King. I mean, how many different shows are there? So am I going to sit down and watch a conversation every day? Am I going to call it on a show with a plot and a story? I, I, there's so much content that's going to pull you away from watching a daily show. Yeah. And people see the clips online. I always had that thought about Jennifer Hudson's show is that like the dance clips have gotten so popular. And I'm like, that hit everyone's algorithm super hard is watching people dance. And I just thought, does any of this translate to people watching the show? Yo, Jay Hood, can I get the spirit tunnel? No, since you're not using that no more, I like the spirit tunnel. Hey, it's a rumor for her. No, you know what? You know what? All I could think about though. And hopefully that show won't get canceled. Yes. A lot of people work on that show. All I could think about with the spirit tunnel is, Dan, they pay a lot of salaries on that show. They got like 25 people in that spirit tunnel. What are y'all doing? Learning a new chant. What do you guys do besides chant? I want to know because I'm not working bro. But these, that's what I'm saying though. It's hard to have shows that it's heavy. That many people have he left 25 30 people working on a daytime show. You got to get a lot of people watching that one. And then I didn't even get to to be. I know, I know we make fun of to be in zoos, but man, people are watching that. I love to be we talking about evolve everyone's at night. The clock. The zoo's not. I'm a star of to be what are you talking about? Oh, yeah, my wrestling. My show's on to be really. Yeah, bro. Yo, with friends like you. You know, know that my show that I do commentary on a wrestling show that airs everyone's at night on to be you haven't heard me mentioned that. Never heard me. I didn't put together that it was on to be. For some reason, I thought it was just like wrestling. And by the way, to be isn't zoos, bro. Zoos is a channel. To be is like an app that's just a way to watch lots of different things and they have originals. It's Netflix, but free. Okay. I'm not saying it's, you know, I'm all I'm saying is I want to it was my show. But there is a lot of people. A lot of people checking it on to be. Yeah. Yeah. To watch movies for free. They have some original program. Johnson to be. Yeah. Sounds to to me. But the content. Yo, can we get a snow. We be proud of to be. I don't know. What was that, Laura? I said the content on the zoo's network is so crazy. I haven't. I haven't. It is so. No, no, no, I'm not watching. I'm not subscribed. I don't subscribe. But I just to to your point. Tara, Laura, act on. People love it. And it's bottom of the barrel type is. Wow. I'm gonna slam it. It is. It isn't people love it. Yo, we're saying you're watching zoos. Yep. That's bad. That's bad. No, he brought that prove the point. If it's beneath bascom, it's under the pavement. I don't even have a button. Hey, bascom, did you watch? I know one thing's been in the ton of talk recently. Did you watch traders? No. Didn't watch traders. What's traders? What's that? Traders is on peacock. And it's a very big show. What's giving me a plot? Some people are telling the truth. Some people are lying. And the reality show. The reality show. And the people try to figure out who's telling the truth and who's lying. Okay. And this year it got people super all riled up because Michael Rappaport was on the show. Oh, he's, that's a liar. And he was. And he was, he was kicked off so early mostly because people just couldn't stand him. And like, I'm not gonna lie. He was so unappealing on the clips that were moving around. It made me want to watch the show. Hey, yo, Michael Rappaport. Yeah, they got him up out of there super quick. He's been, oh my god, he's the worst. He's really the worst. He's trying to run from mayor. I can't. I know. No, yo, listen. I can't. I didn't know that Michael Rappaport was, I didn't, I didn't have this on my bangle car for Michael Rappaport. I know. I did not. Then I thought he was acting in higher learning. No, no. No, he's, he now is really remy. Yeah. Get away. So embarrassing. They're growing up. Won't be long before the thought of a family holiday is just. But with Hilton's staycations all over the UK, we don't need to go far to feel close. And with connecting rooms confirmed when we book, we'll have plenty of space to make the most of every moment. Everyone in the photo. When time away means time together, it matters where you stay. Book now at hilton.com, Hilton for this day. Uh, he's, he's just not a bright. I thought he was acting in bamboozle. And that, while he hasn't gone all the way there. Might as well. But to, to, to be, I mean, he is such a tool. He is such a tool. Like, and by the way, I do understand people who were incredibly emotionally affected by October 7th. Yeah. For, for sure. And I could see how that for a while that could send you into a place of being like very protective. Or I could see all these kind of emotions. And those people in the chat who don't get that cool, it's fine. Choose not to understand other people's situation. But to then have time pass where you and theory start to inform yourself as you get to know this issue. And maybe listen to other people who are scholarly on it. Not just the people who are telling you, thank you. We support you. Can you come help us and be a part of this? Can we fly you here? I know he went full grief. Can we make you a mascot for us? Can we? That's the, that's where. And, and you know, him and I got into it because at some point during his early days of, of going crazy pro-Israel and just being hateful in, in my opinion, terrible. I called him stupid. I just said, you are stupid. You are not an educated person. You are not very bright. And you should listen to other people who are smarter. I guess he was really offended because I know him. We've had a personal relationship for a long time. And I think he was offended that rather than like hit him directly, I erred him out publicly. To which I say, I understand how you feel. However, you're making these dumb opinions publicly. Right? And so like as a public person making public opinions, I'm now responding. Yo, this man texted me so crazy and said the most foul things about literally about my father. What? Oh, yeah. What? Oh, bad mouth. I'm gonna never talk those things. So he had opinions that you followed the whole time? No, no, because he only got to know this, I guess, after I got into it, maybe he heard me in the, in the episode of Wannet where I talked about him, maybe he heard me talking about my dad. And he went and looked it up. Let me give you the exact, let me give you the exact lingo here so we don't get it. Well, and, and for the audience, why, why you looked it up, why would Michael Rappeport not like your dad? Um, because... Because he's been a... Because your dad's been outspoken about the crimes of Israel and... More than outspoken, right? I mean, he's, you know, my dad is writing about it every day. Yeah. He wrote... Oh my gosh. Oh, let's see, let's see. So now I see we talked above that at some point too. It looks like... I just can't believe you never told us. I definitely mentioned it. I feel like you've mentioned it. I did. I did. On October 28th, 2023, we had a long back and forth. Then I guess at some point I went far on the air, probably, and called him stupid. He wrote, You fat, mots of ball, bleep. Don't mention my name again in any way, shape or form ever. I facetimeed your dumb, p-word ass yesterday. You didn't pick up or hit me back. Don't say Michael Rappeport in any terms. You're a self-hating short f with daddy issues. Your father's a self-hating Jew, the worst kind, and raised a self-hating stereotype Jew. That was it? The worst kind. I wrote... Shut your bitch ass up. Please, Rosalind. Bitch. I wrote, hey dude, sorry I missed your facetime. Obviously I struck a chord with you. And I apologize because I definitely spoke about you in insulting terms that I did not have to use. That said, we see this issue very, very differently. And I have to assume the only reason you've been saying and doing the things you've been saying and doing is because of ignorance. There is no way someone could have all the information available and believe that what we are seeing happen right now is the best way for for the safety and security for both Jewish and Palestinian people. If you want to have a real conversation about the issue and are open to hearing some things, I am down to. And what do he reply with? I could give a bleep about a conversation, your opinions or any of that. Apologize on your podcast like you said to whatever you said on your podcast. I could give a bleep about anything else you say or do. I speak to you in real life. I have a rule about issuing on people I speak to in real life, period. Okay. That was it? You need to hand back. Guess you never saw the apology. You attacked my family like a bleeping loony tune, but didn't catch the apology. Hope the screaming the same ish over and over again into your camera is effective Henry Kissinger. Because at that point, he was just screaming the same things every day, every day. Are you triggered? I am by some dude from New York who happens to be Jewish. Thinking that he speaks on behalf of all Jewish people. That doesn't trigger you at all. What triggers me the most about it is. And this is why I got so angry is you just came to this story. You didn't, you were not an active person who knew about this prior to October 7th. You know, my, but in fairness, my dad's only been deeply entrenched in this since the mid 60s. So you show up. So I'm Hollywood actor with a, but by the way, be clear, very successful, great career that you know, it's a great career. No, great. It's good. It's enough for a regular guy. No, he's not Denzel Washington or Robert De Niro. You went with very successful. That's a successful career, bro. You, if you set out as an actor, you set out as an actor and you do movies, Spike Lee, Scorsese, Woody out. He's done it all. And then did the tribe call Quest Doc? Yes. No question yet, a great career. And you've tried, you have now taken that brand and burned it to the ground because you were really emotionally affected by a very emotional and terrible event. And you allowed your brain to then be molded the way other people intended it to be molded and are not open to hearing real conversation and frankly become a cloud chaser because the more you yell and scream into your camera, the more likes you get, the more conversation you get. And that to me is deserving of how I described it of really, really stupid. Yeah, you're a Schmitty. That's just being a little bitch. And you're, and you're missing the point and you're, and the, which the most upsetting about it is if, if in your heart, you really care about the safety and well-being of Jewish people, which he seems to be obsessed with, what you're doing is not helping. And that's really sad. You are dividing further and making it worse. So, you know, and then the idea of like, yeah, I called you an idiot, but you had to come from my father and call him a self-hating Jew of all things. I know. Well, and then the other thing I was asked to and we could wrap this up after this. Or I asked myself this as I'm watching this play out. Do people honestly believe that this moment in history will ever just become a footnote? Where there will be some sort of forgiveness for the United States of America, forgiveness for the supporters and the, and the, and this current government of Israel. Do people believe that there's a, like, we'll get to the other side? I don't know. Like, what's on the other side? We don't know. Excuse me. I don't know. I don't know. Well, here's the thing though. I pray there's somehow another side. But either way, how would there be forgiveness or, or any real like compassion for the people who had access to the information, the means to get the information and all they did was from the safety and security of their own home, scream about how justifying violence against people. And that goes back to where, you know, forgiving people or people being regretful for voting for Donald Trump. Also, you had the information. Well, that it was publicly talked about. That's been a big thing. Have you, I'm curious. Have you, I'm curious to see if you run into, uh, because I know occasionally, not very often, you can occasionally run into Andrew Schultz. Yeah, but he's been, he's been big out here now like, shut up. No, and he really, no, he's really the last time I saw Andrew Schultz, I was walking in the house, kitchen on my mother-in-law's birthday. And so I had literally had the entire family and he was going somewhere with his woman. He grabbed my arm. I was like, yo, what's up, bro? I was like, yo, what's up, heading in the house, kitchen. So, so he now has said he's like fully out on everything that's happening and he's did not ever think it could go this way. And it's, I don't think he's lying in how he feels about it. I think he's being truthful that he's really disturbed by it. But I just, well, no, the question that's all we got here, no, but the question then goes, okay, taking that at face value, you didn't think we could get here, which means you had faith in this country and this government that we would never get here despite people telling you that this is where it's going. So you had more faith in the government, in the marketing than you did in human beings who were being affected or knew the history of this nation. So my next question goes, do you, how will you find faith in this government ever again there? Or did you never have faith? Well, that's good. That's, you're giving them those people a lot of credit and saying they must have really just believed something positive. Okay. So then it was a grift. So you knew it was potential. And so you just decided to ignore that for the sake of the grift because now you got to sell out your Madison Square gardens. You got you got your Hitler haircut. You got your Hitler mustache. You jumped on stage at the garden, sold a bunch of tickets. You and Charlotte main did your podcast and did all your song and dance. You did all your things. Got your clicks and got your likes. And so now the new grift is I'm going to apologize. That's, so that's what I think it is. I think it is, I don't even know if it was all the way conscious I'm going to grift. It was that you do this thing in your head where you're like, no, I mean, I'm just someone who's going to interview him. I'm not going to, I'm not going to outright support him. I'm just going to give him the platform and I'm just going to, right, because we need to have conversations with people who disagree with it. So I think, Laura, I'll let you go, but I think I think it's playing this plausible deniability game. And now it's become the worst version of it. And now you want to backtrack off of it. But to Ebro's point, everyone was saying, this is really bad. This is really dangerous. You are harming people by making this normal. That Schultz interview with Trump was right down the stretch of the election. And it was one of those moments that Trump really excels in where he really seems normal. And you can really treat him in this way where he's relatable and comfortable. That had a fact, that, that mattered. So what are you going to do now with your platform beyond saying my bad? Right. What are you now going to do? Because the milk is out of the other. What are you going to do? Well, but I don't think, but so that takes me back to the grift because they know they don't have to do anything except in a tank, get the clicks and shift on to whatever the next hustle is, whatever the next trend. And this is going so bad for for Trump right now. And the ice thing looks so bad. And you can, you can see his approval ratings are terrible. So now you can play the other side. And there'll be a lot of clicks to say, ooh, this is bad. And here's the safe landing. According to what Laura was pointing out earlier on the show and what we're seeing on social media. A lot of people are in this boat. So now they have their spokesperson to be like, you know, I screwed up too. The my bad. You know, my bad, my bad. I screwed. You know, I didn't think it could get this bad. So Lord, do you think it was an intentional grift? I just feel like just to excuse it as like, I'm just going to interview him. No, he was spewing this pro Trump rhetoric before this. So it's like leading up to it. So and whoever else is on the show was like, they would just laugh about it and entertain it. And it led to them getting that Trump interview. Well, it did. But my bad, all while people's lives are being destroyed, people are scared because their aunt could get taken, their mothers, their children, like, it's bad guy. And he didn't Trump always say they want day one. We're going to have the biggest deportation. Yes. Yes. Yes. One of the always there. And nobody. They, and they definitely didn't get the clips online, which is why we realized that when we started doing this, there's people actually watching the show now. For the first time, nobody actually was getting these clips because all they wanted to put out was Laura's flashing lights and us talking about rappers. But we've been talking about this for a while. Well, they were throw out numbers. We're going to round up two million. We're going to write up. He said 11 million and he said 21 million ones of them. And he was like, there's 20 million illegal people. And I was like, do you know what 20 million people get round up? It was like, you know what that looks? And most people don't know what that looks like. So that means you're an affinity because you heard these crazy numbers. And you didn't take it serious or you're so jaded by talking crazy on the internet and watching the internet that you were like, he's just talking. It's not going to happen. It doesn't matter. Why would you be okay with that talk? Why would you be okay with that talk? Yo, Shultz. Congratulations. You put it in. Now would you interview Andrew Shultz? I thought about that. I've thought about that. I'd be more apt to interview Shultz probably then say a, like I would never interview Tommy Loren or Candace or Katie Miller or any of those people. Shultz is interesting because I don't believe that he is the worst of the, of, of those kind of people. I think there's an interesting conversation to be had that could potentially be effective. You know what I'm saying? I don't believe he's evil and wants to spread evil, but he made choices where he put his own success of his podcast. I had the ahead of the well-being of his fellow Americans. So I don't know. It's the same way I feel about Charlamagne that, you know, like there's certain things that he does that I'm like, oh my God, how? But at the same time, I don't think Charlamagne's heart is terrible and he wants bad things to happen to people, but he does things that make me go, how could you do that in that moment? Do you see what I'm saying? I see a difference. I delineate between the people who are outright. I know what side they're on and hustling grifters who just jump at the opportunity to get clicks and make money. Yeah, I don't know. Ha ha ha ha. No, listen, that's what it is. If you know, if you know something's bad and you have a platform where you're successful and you're like, yo, this is bad. Oh, but it's going to be hot. It's going to move around. It's going to go viral, right? And you say, yeah, but I don't have to do that. I don't need to take that one. I'm going to pass on that one because I don't like it. Yeah. That's that's that's I'm aware of the. Like that's what that's what it is. Yeah. It's not hot to do that though. It's not you not John Blaze and you're not. I mean, look, you can't do big numbers. You listen, we're struggling to have 50,000 subscribed. Right. Come on. We'd be over a million right now. We had if we had Sneco and Aiden Ross, who else we could anyone we could get up here to sit here and run it up. Whoever said the racist thing in chats that we could get to come talk to the interview. I can't give them a platform talk to them. Like they really have a few. We can glean from. Yeah, man, you know what? We need to learn a little bit about each other. I do not need to learn about somebody who goes out in public and uses the N word knowing that it's wrong knowing that you're just trying to do it to offend people. I like back in the day when they were more overt with it. You know what I mean? Like in the Donna Hugh Haraldo era when they were just. Oh, man, the clan's been were just beyond the hood on. They'd be like, yo, what are you doing? And people would come out and just yell at them and they're like, I hate you, European. And even air you. We're right. And then they were just getting a fight. That's he just beyond. Let it be that's John Blase. And sometimes the fight away. Well, knowing if you're really about that life, if you're really a white supremacist, put the costume on. That's what I'm saying. But I guess they kind of are putting the costume on. It's a new costume. It's just a new costume. The costumes. Yeah, now it's a slick haircut, you know what I mean? But they went and started doing the tight fate. What was the guy, you know, I don't know his name. The guy that was running ice that looks like the character from the Teonatella movie. Bovino. Bovino. Bovino. Bovino. Bovino. Bovino. That's a different than Bovino. That's a different, there's two different people. Yeah. Wasn't there a clip where Trump said he's going to nationalize elections? Oh, yeah, that was with Bovino. Let me see that clip. And they vote illegally. And the, you know, amazing that the Republicans aren't tough for under the Republicans should say we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. And we have states that are so, that's a problem. That's a problem folks. That's why nationalizing the voting, meaning the reason this thing is holding up, the reason this thing is holding up barely is because the states can at least protect the integrity of their own election. That's right. The nationalize it and basically that the Republicans take over that he is openly saying, I want to cheat. We want to cheat. We got to set this up. It's not like the way I thought. Remember, even if you believe that there's problems in the voting, okay, even if you're one of the people that's like, listen, someone needs to do something that's too much illegal voting. Let's just play along, which is why they went in the Fortin County by the way. Remember, they believe that there was cheating in 2020, even though Trump's own, uh, uh, reporters, his attorneys, uh, Republican judges, everyone has looked at that. They've done a recount, manual recount. No cheating was found in 2020 in Fortin County, Georgia. It was just not there. But let's just play along. That means that ultimately, right? He wants to take away checks and balances. He doesn't want other eyes on this. Correct. Which leads to your point of the cheating. All of this is about sequestering, hiding, putting up some sort of block so that others cannot see what's going on. And then you can take the election. And then you can see. And I've, what I said to Ebro last week was I'm actually surprised that this democracy thing is held up as well as it has. It's somehow fought against this through them trying to do it. But this one in Georgia, where he's, they said he got on the phone and had a pep talk, like a one minute pep talk with the people that they sent in there to try to find the votes. He got them on the phone. It was basically like, hyping up like go find these votes. Let's go get them. And you said what's their face was there? Tossing the gabber. Tossing gabber. She's there and he's hyping them up to go find the only need to find 12,000 votes, right? They're not there. They don't exist. But because they could, they're ballots. There could be unused ballots. Those ballots could all of a sudden get used. I know. Then they could be found that all of a sudden, even though everyone has said the claims of the 2020 election being raged just completely false, he would have the proof that he needs, that he completely created in front of our eyes. He's saying it. He's been doing it. Why are you still obsessed with this? The only reason he's still obsessed with this is because he thinks he could find it. He thinks there's a way he can get this done. Otherwise he would have moved on. He thinks he can do it. And then he will never have to leave office. Yeah. And then the whole conversation about who's next for the Republicans. Congratulations. Trump, you played yourself. Let's get to the gurus. His guru time. You got some ready? Sure I do.

Soon before getting pregnant, she was back and forth about the relationship and was even planning on how to get him out of her house. She told me that he doesn't treat her well, takes advantage, yells at her, et cetera. Basically, every red flag besides hitting her. Well, she had the baby anyway and they are still together. I've supported her by validating her feelings when she complains and encourage her that she deserves to be treated better. She is now planning on getting pregnant again and wants me to be happier for her. I told her I will always love and support her and her children, but I am wondering why she is continuing with him. She asked for my opinion. I didn't just give it. I think she's decided to settle and is pretending things aren't bad, which is fine. It's her life. I don't think he's a good person because of how she told me he treats her. But when I see him and them together, they're always cordial. He's always cordial. She wants to double date and create some relationship between us, which feels fake and weird. I'm trying not to judge, but how can I suddenly start hanging out with them together and celebrating their relationship when I know what's really going on? I want to support her, but how can I just pretend she's not in a toxic relationship? By her account, not my opinion. Can you even stay friends with someone who doesn't support your relationship? How? Thank you, gurus. So loved and needed in the community. Thanks. Wait, the gurus are needed in the community? Yeah. I think everybody. Oh. I mean, I guess it all depends because I had a friend like this, but this is my situation. I ended up cutting her off because I couldn't do it. Why? Well, she was being treated very badly and then when it got physical and I helped and she still kept going back, I was like, I can't. Yeah, I cannot. I cannot be able to. I cannot be able to do this. Cause then it started affecting me emotionally. You know what I mean? And I was like, I don't want this type of thing. That's like the classic you, you're walking on the street and you see a couple getting into it and then the guy steps in and it's like, Hey, man, back up. That's happening to me before. And then they turn around and try to punch you in the face. Yeah, well, that's happening to me. And then that was about to call the cops and it cursed me off. And then the girl jumps in again to give you like, what? I was like, I'm going to call the cops. She was like, you better have fun. I think once it gets physical, once I find out, I've had friends who I've found out, we're like hitting their women or whatever I can't wrap. Which is what I'm done. I can't. I thought I don't like none of that. It's kind of like what I found out a friend was like, don't cocaine or something like that. I can't. I think I think I have a tougher standard for the hitting than the cocaine. Yeah. No, I'm just saying there's certain things like, yo, you do coke? That's a, that's a line for you. That's not the same field though. No, it's not. I'm just saying there's items. I'm running through the item. So I'm running through my list. I got news for you. You got friends who do coke. Yeah, they don't do it for me. I don't know. What if you two are my friends? You got friends who do coke. Friends? Yeah. Guarantee, you know this? You did coke with them? I've never done coke, but I guarantee you have the way about coke that I always had growing up of like, oh my god, you do that. Like they said, say no to drugs. I have that same thing. People who have partied in certain ways, it's not as big as, it's not, I'm just being on it. It's just not as, I'm gonna ask around today. I mean, I know a lot of people who do coke. Yeah, I know a lot. I've lots of, I've, no, do I know people who do coke? Yeah, I've, you said friends. I don't consider a lot of people I know to be necessarily my friends. I think they're, no, I think you're, I think you're seeing it. But I don't want to downplay it because I'm not trying to downplay it. You know, like, not coke. I don't think coke's a big deal. I just don't hang out with people who do coke like that. I don't think they do it for you because they know that me and I don't, not in front of me either because we're both squares. But just like I wouldn't hang out with somebody who's hitting the wall. No, it's not the same. It's terrible. Different. I want you to change it. No, I'm just saying these are my lines. I'm not saying it's the same. I'm not saying these are my lines. I'm telling you your lines are different because you're one of the lines your friends are doing lines. White line. Yeah. I just don't think it's that. But anyways, um, wait, so coke's is our acceptable now. We would just say I think it's been that way forever. Yeah. I think it's pretty acceptable. But to me, I see it's, it should be less acceptable considering all the nasty ishtats out here. You don't know what you're getting. That's what I always tell my friend. No, right? Yeah. That's cause of the death is his friend on the coke. Correct. So thanks all the more the time. It's the 80s. That was at the time when they told us it was the worst was actually when you probably would have been I, can you casual the problem? Can you casually be a coke user or are you just using coke once you're using coke like you got your using coke? You're really, you really sound like me at 15 right now. It's crazy. Now, they're definitely blue casually do it once, twice a year. They're the party. Oh, it's the big. The Grammys and doing coke. Yes. For sure. For sure. I mean, I'm not the people who abuse it. For sure. I don't want to make it sound like they're on coke heads out here. I don't know how close you got to know what the line is. Like I don't know how addictive it is. I have mad mad friends and loved ones who have done coke and are not coke heads out. Got it. For sure. Matter of fact, what are you guys doing? I do want to try. It's too late now. I'm 40. I don't like it. I never liked how they talk about it. Like you stay up. Why do I want to stay up? But it goes real quick too. And then why do I want any of this? I just don't trust what's in it. I was before that, but it was when I was like, why do you want to know about her relationship? I'm sorry. Someone's doing coke. Someone they're doing coke out here lady. You didn't tell us that this guy's abusing her. You said that she complains about him being kind of crappy and like not treating her great and their relationship sounds toxic. I'm not trying to downplay that but without any specific information. If she's telling you this the relationship she wants to be in and sometimes the guys in A-hole but she wants to have another kid with them and she loves him unless she He has told you something that you know is like, oh my god, that's beyond the pale. Right. We all have friends that are in the toxic relationship. Is he gonna go? And you know what? Is he hitting her? Like what are we talking about? Those are two things. So I'm going on the double day and see how it goes. If he's terrible on the double day. She already said he's not. That's the thing. She already said in person, he's like really cordial. I think you just gotta, she's your friend. You gotta do the dance. Well you know what? Do the dance. Do the dance. Do the dance. And if it gets bad, then stop doing the dance. That's it. But for right now, it just sounds like they fight sometimes because she complains to you. And now you're like, I don't want to, come on. Just do the dance. Just do the dance. And people do dance when they're doing coke, by the way. So he gets stopped now. And they probably would dance to this terrible music. That's right. Hey buddy, got some? What did you bring? Let's go. It's a matter of breath. Hey, who's in dance? All right, hope that helps. Yeah, that is hilarious. I see the good news. Yeah. You know listen man, it's a good time. That was fun.

One looks like it's Prince Thee, which is interesting. Do the definitely Prince Thee. Yes. Do the dance. I kind of like it though. I kind of like it, dude. That's actually like a dope looking shirt. Yeah. Oh my god. Then he said, what's that a Mary Net? What are those? Mary Net. But it's given it's given menstrual Mary Net. It's given to menstrual. Yeah. I got it. This is more straightforward to do the dance. But that's um, that looks like a cheerleader font. Oh yeah, it does like a Laker girl. That's given it's giving Laker girls. There you go. All right. And then this is more like big shiny bootleg kind of vibes. Do the dance. I don't love that one. That's giving flash dance. It's giving more flash in. My favorite of them so far is actually the Prince Vibes. But I'd want to see maybe a little bit of a shoulder shimmy in it somehow. I don't know how to do it. Well, I figured out. Just a chase. We'll work on it. Oh, chase. Thanks for the graphic. Thanks, bro. Oh, oh, oh, oh. See you tomorrow. Remember, we're dropping a Patreon today. So lock in on that. And then we'll be back in La Manya. I got to travel to San Francisco super bowl time. So I got to go. Yo. I gotta go do the dance. Oh, he's out there dancing, pal. He's doing all the dances. Have a good time. I'm fine. Oh, oh, oh, oh. He's gonna be in the suite. And I'm putting on, I won't say he puts on a white voice, but it will. There's little, he takes the bass down. He turns the bass from head to toe. Hey, man, how are you? So nice to meet you. Yeah, man. Pleasure. Oh, you know, I've been wanting to play a pretty good doc. I mean, everyone deserves to have their story. Whoa, whoa. That's nice. Wow. Wow. Actually, no, everybody does the service. She was just a poor girl from a Russian Latvia. She was a male order. I'm sorry. I know. Bye. Don't pull in the pocket.
