Summary
Will Smith's apology to the Academy Awards overshadowed what should have been a great night, but instead overshadowed it by Will smith's post-game comments about his wife cheating on him. James and Gary discuss if it was staged, whether or not it should have happened, and if he should have stood up for himself.

james klug is here he's a political commentator and content creator and the current king of street
00:00:11.220
interviews pulling in massive i'm talking gigantic numbers for his streeter videos on youtube
00:00:16.020
while gary sheffield jr is a writer for outkick.com and a baseball podcaster for nyy that's for new
00:00:22.420
york yankees news tv his show chef talk airs every friday at 7 p.m easter thank you for joining me
00:00:28.280
guys i'm about to pass out i think after all that i think i want to go to that event uh yeah i'll meet
00:00:35.660
in miami you can talk to the president of el salvador i think um andrew yang is going to be
00:00:41.300
there you can talk to him about losing all the time all sorts of stuff i think the first question i
00:00:46.380
want to i want to ask you guys because you're such fans of the oscars we have to like i don't even want
00:00:50.940
to but i have to get your takes on will smith um fake staged um no repercussions that writer
00:00:58.260
wrong what do you guys think if it was faked or staged you think anything should have happened
00:01:01.740
gary let's go to you first you're chomping at the bid here champing at the bid to get a get a get a
00:01:07.720
say in on this i think well for one i don't want will smith to lose his oscar i know a lot of people
00:01:14.060
are talking about whether or not that should happen but for me personally i'm looking at it and i'm
00:01:18.220
thinking you're really showing us your insecurity and when you look at will smith who's on record saying
00:01:24.300
they've had an open relationship his wife is saying that they had an entanglement and when i'm looking
00:01:29.380
at it there's certain events where it's like will smith should have stood up for himself and then in
00:01:33.660
this moment where people are just using words and my favorite host and ricky gervais there's been
00:01:39.740
plenty of times where other celebrities can look at him and say i want to go punch this guy but you
00:01:43.720
know you have to show self-control as a celebrity as somebody who's a public figure so it was a huge
00:01:48.540
mistake on will smith's part and unfortunately it overshadowed what should have been a great night
00:01:53.220
james james he's there he's slapping somebody he's crying he's laughing apologizing to the academy
00:02:00.540
saying protect the family first do you think it was staged and do you think anything should have
00:02:05.000
happened to him if it wasn't at first i thought it was staged and then i saw him uh screaming
00:02:11.080
afterwards and i was like okay no no this is totally legit but um i understand everyone that
00:02:16.300
thinks it stays i mean we've seen the ratings they're awful i think uh this academy awards was
00:02:21.720
increased by about three million over last year from maybe 10 million to 13 million i believe i
00:02:27.980
could be wrong on that stuff i i didn't even know that last year yeah i didn't even know that it was
00:02:32.440
the academy awards to be honest and the whole day i was saying the grammys i was in uh hollywood
00:02:36.460
boulevard filming and um and we had no clue that it was it was even going on until we got there but uh as
00:02:42.900
for you know i think you look at these celebrities a lot of people even even if you are as politically
00:02:48.740
active as we are um you kind of look at them and you still get a little bit starstruck right like
00:02:53.860
we look at these people they're famous they're big time they should be role models but i mean let's be
00:02:58.540
honest everyone in hollywood for the most part are a bunch of like lunatics so none of the stuff
00:03:02.700
surprises me at all like i don't know why we should just expect anything more from celebrities
00:03:07.320
because they're all nuts um and yeah he snapped and you know what i don't i don't have that much to
00:03:13.900
say about it i like to if we if we are gonna be judging this you know i see a lot of people talking
00:03:18.900
about his wife cheating on him making that comparison but you know we do want to kind of
00:03:22.700
separate these things in my opinion and like judge this incident separately on whether it's right or
00:03:28.900
wrong obviously it's you know you're not supposed to go assault someone for cracking a joke and the
00:03:33.100
joke was actually like i mean it's pretty funny but um as for uh you know i don't have that much
00:03:39.560
to say about it if anything it got me slightly and i mean slightly interested in the academy awards
00:03:46.400
um so hey that was cool i guess it was jim carrey saying he should sue for 200 million dollars now
00:03:54.280
i'm seeing a lot i saw obviously twitter pushing how much of pretty much a defense for will smith his
00:04:00.540
wife's got this illness of course you shouldn't make fun of her for it and uh basically nothing
00:04:05.540
being pushed and gary and i were talking before we came on here about how you can tell something's
00:04:09.580
kind of contrived when it's pushed on mass by the media and i i see them kind of defending this and
00:04:15.260
kind of avoiding saying that will smith did anything wrong are you guys getting that feeling at all like
00:04:21.140
they're kind of promote i don't know if we're going to go down the route where they're promoting
00:04:24.740
violence we know like hollywood loves to show violence they love to uh condone it when it suits
00:04:30.760
their narrative but when sort of things come into real life they don't really know how to handle
00:04:36.220
that am i seeing that on my own do you guys recognize any of that i think you're i think
00:04:41.000
you're spot on about that oh sorry i'll let you go first oh no don't worry about it's uh from from my
00:04:46.880
perspective they're going to defend whoever they like that's just the reality of the situation in
00:04:51.280
hollywood um it's as hypocritical as it could be i feel like all of us are aware of that they they
00:04:56.620
essentially can do one thing and if someone they don't like does another they're gonna pick that
00:05:01.280
they're gonna pick it apart and will smith is somebody who the left has really defended they've
00:05:06.360
defended him as a hollywood figure he's essentially been the chosen one i mean he was a huge star in
00:05:12.180
fresh prince um he's obviously just won a grammy last night so he's still relevant as he was 25 years
00:05:18.200
ago so yeah i mean they're just not going to they're going to say defend all women and defend jada
00:05:24.320
pinkett or defend black men and everything is going to be um everything is going to be polarizing
00:05:31.320
and it's really not that polarizing as james alluded to it's as simple as this you can't walk on a stage
00:05:38.020
and assault somebody whatever they said you just can't do that it's just as simple as that you have
00:05:41.860
to be able to control yourself so um trying not to read too much into the situation and how it's being
00:05:47.080
covered but when you make a clear mistake like that um it needs to be covered as such
00:05:54.000
yeah and do we have i i was i was always wondering do we have evidence to suggest that
00:05:59.500
chris rock knew about the condition i i know that he didn't yeah i mean i don't know really why he
00:06:10.740
would people are saying that she was his wife and i mean you guys i don't even know the wife's name
00:06:14.800
um but i believe his uh his wife was pretty open about it and and that's you know that's that's good
00:06:21.700
like you should make people feel comfortable about uh you know just something that's natural
00:06:26.440
in our lives air loss that's especially for women i can only imagine that that's something like a you
00:06:31.220
know a bummer but uh i don't know why he would be aware of that there's how many celebrities i'm not
00:06:37.380
sure that he's paying that much close attention to her and you know he made a gi jane joke i'm sure
00:06:43.400
he didn't really think anything was going on and like on the surface it's a funny joke obviously it's a
00:06:48.780
little it's a little tough if you if you actually dig into it um but yeah i mean bottom line you
00:06:54.440
don't assault someone for cracking joke even if it's a dicey joke remind me to send you some of
00:06:59.820
the 90s movies of jada pinkett smith was in we put on bad boys last night actually well she was in a
00:07:06.500
movie in the early 90s where her and queen latifah and somebody else robbed banks for a while that's a
00:07:11.960
that's a good one they will put that on your list your watch list i want to move on to uh some more
00:07:17.240
sports stuff uh with gary here and it's revolving around kairi irving he's finally allowed to play
00:07:23.520
back in uh brooklyn after you know buying courtside tickets sitting there he can't he got the team got
00:07:31.140
fine for him going into the locker room he can only play in away games which isn't the case i guess for
00:07:35.740
jonathan isaac because they're in uh in orlando there so all these crazy rules and now they finally
00:07:40.900
lifted the mandate for athletes and performers only i think private sector individuals still have to
00:07:47.020
wear them um in in businesses i just want to ask how much is this going to be a black eye for the
00:07:54.260
nba do you think people have already forgotten about it and do you think it's fair for no you
00:07:58.580
know regular new yorkers who may be in a private business they're not exempt we've just made a
00:08:02.800
special exemption for athletes and performers here gary yeah but that's the thing is they get
00:08:08.380
special exemption um a lot of what triggered this was the new york yankees and mets they all as a team
00:08:15.340
i believe they said the numbers were 45 of both organizations between the yankees and mets that
00:08:20.920
were vaccinated and aaron judge the big star in new york is telling essentially telling the media i'm
00:08:26.880
not vaccinated so when kairi irving takes a stand he essentially was the only one they made him seem
00:08:31.200
like he was isolated like he was a crazy person um a flat earther is how they covered him and
00:08:37.240
ultimately the the new york is really they're trying to pull for power that the whole point of this is
00:08:43.260
power that's really the gist of this um mayor eric adams was listening to kevin durant say like we
00:08:48.780
need to start making sense of this and it still didn't matter and then eventually despite what the
00:08:54.720
science said science hasn't changed the past two or three months it just hasn't it's always suggested
00:08:59.560
that people who had pre-existing conditions were always the most at risk from covid and the regulations
00:09:05.340
on all the mandates they frankly didn't only impact people with pre-existing conditions it affected
00:09:11.080
all of us it affected the economy and ultimately it took big superstars to change the rules by simply
00:09:18.160
demanding it um in large numbers so i'm glad it happened eventually but i'm anticipating that they
00:09:23.900
are going to walk back some of these in the near future james should we be celebrating how great it is
00:09:29.920
that a guy who stood up for everybody who you know had their job taken away couldn't go to work etc or play
00:09:36.220
sports in his case should we be celebrating his ability to go back to work for all the things he
00:09:40.760
stood for or should we still be focusing on the fact that there's probably millions of people in the city
00:09:45.380
of new york who still you know can't go back to work if they're unvaccinated
00:09:49.460
i mean first of all huge like thumbs up with irving standing up for himself this whole time that was huge
00:09:58.160
and what gary said was spot on they literally treated him like a flat earther now uh you know
00:10:04.220
i don't follow sports that closely but i am aware of this situation here and um you know when it comes
00:10:09.520
down to the elites getting to abide by different rules than your average american that's kind of what
00:10:17.520
showed people in the very beginning of the pandemic that you know it's it's it's picking and choosing
00:10:23.760
who obeys the science right you get it started with elite politicians then now it's going to athletes
00:10:29.460
and performers etc while the average american has to obey pretty much anti-scientific laws that
00:10:38.660
it's not just oh i can't go to a restaurant oh i can't go to a sporting event it has been oh you
00:10:43.840
got to shut down the business i worked for my entire life you guys ruined and destroyed my life even
00:10:49.100
though they knew that the data didn't support uh healthy individuals or support marketing how it's
00:10:56.820
just blanket policy across the board you know healthy individuals were never really at risk from
00:11:03.080
covet 19 and when it comes to um individuals that were obviously the average was like around three and
00:11:09.440
a half uh comorbidities per average covid related death i mean these are very unhealthy individuals at the
00:11:16.600
very top of that uh individuals that that does not apply to the individuals that are not at risk
00:11:22.060
would be professional athletes i think that's you know so many people are looking at this like such a
00:11:26.500
joke but truth is shouldn't be a big deal at all if a professional athlete literally the peak of
00:11:31.620
fitness uh doesn't feel like getting a vaccine for something he's not at risk for do you guys think
00:11:37.020
that if this stuff winds down with ukraine and the midterms don't go the way the republicans want
00:11:43.600
them to let's say things basically stay the same do you think we see a resurgence of covid restrictions
00:11:49.640
and fauci pops back on tv and all of a sudden we're living in fear of death again oh yeah oh there's no
00:11:56.340
cool question there's no question because essentially they're calling our bluff everyone in america right
00:12:02.380
now is is i wouldn't even say they're on eggshells everyone seems like they're chomping at the bit
00:12:06.400
for midterms pretending as though i mean i shouldn't say they're pretending but they are really showing
00:12:11.300
their hand that they're going to bring this to the polls they're going to make politicians pay make
00:12:17.040
the people in power pay for the way that they've controlled this country the past year and a half
00:12:21.080
or so and if it turns out to not be true you're starting you're going to start seeing joe biden all
00:12:26.820
the people who are really his puppet masters they're going to start taking control of this country even
00:12:32.760
further than you can imagine people right now are sitting there talking about four dollars and fifty
00:12:37.080
cents five dollars a gallon being unaffordable wait till it's ten because policy changes what
00:12:42.160
we're doing overseas changes because we don't show up to the polls the 2022 that the midterms are so
00:12:47.740
important and we have to show and that's just the reality of the situation right now james that did not
00:12:53.600
happen in canada justin trudeau took it to the polls and canada said only slightly less do we love you
00:12:59.920
justin trudeau about two percent less do we love your socks your hair and talking like this but
00:13:06.380
america is not canada do you think everything comes back if there's not a strong showing a strong message
00:13:11.280
sent by voters in november you know what i i i think when it comes down to what we're seeing in the
00:13:19.300
united states uh that that's something that's scary because that you just said in canada the two
00:13:24.160
percent reduction because i think we do see some things that are similar here but bottom line when
00:13:28.780
americans have their pocketbook affected when they're seriously affected keep in mind that is
00:13:32.940
the only reason why donald trump lost is because the economy started going haywire democrats made sure
00:13:38.700
it was as bad as possible making sure the lockdowns were as bad as possible make sure that people's
00:13:44.880
lives were destabilized like crazy what we're seeing here is i mean you guys the last how many
00:13:51.680
months has only been covid has now only been ukraine they'll probably try to go back to covid and
00:13:57.320
you know right before the midterms this year we will be seeing the january 6 committee coming out
00:14:02.860
some big new announcement wow and they'll try to save something really big for the very end but
00:14:07.440
when it comes to americans having their pocketbooks affected that's that they are feeling it at the pump
00:14:12.540
they are feeling it at work they're they're going to start really seeing inflation hitting and if you
00:14:17.720
got a five percent raise last year you didn't get a raise this year because inflation is eight percent and
00:14:24.020
that's what they're admitting to so um i think i think the average american doesn't really pay that
00:14:29.600
much attention to to politics like we do or or like many folks do but the average american just
00:14:35.640
notices it in their day-to-day lives they see this grandpa in the white house doing some weird stuff
00:14:40.140
and they're paying more for literally everything and you can't get a brand new car or or camera or
00:14:45.600
anything uh i think people will show up to the polls and i think they'll definitely um they'll
00:14:50.120
definitely show up in some good numbers voting red all those pictures coming out of the military
00:14:55.660
members while biden's talking of everybody just looking confused but i'll get to ukraine later
00:15:00.400
with you guys the next thing i wanted to talk about james was i mentioned off the top the crazy numbers
00:15:05.320
you're doing on your street which is unheard of i think since fleck has talks if i'm being honest
00:15:09.680
then slightly offensive and now i call you the new king of the streeter uh you've gone independent
00:15:14.840
these videos are killing it and having watched you from a year ago or two years ago to today
00:15:20.820
do you think californians have woken up a little bit they've woken up the patriots have gone to them
00:15:26.300
do you think they've changed a little bit or are we seeing even more craziness are they digging in
00:15:31.380
even further what's your interpretation of that well one uh king of street content i do not serve that
00:15:38.600
title but thank you so much for saying that means a lot but but two um uh as for um as for california
00:15:45.960
that's an interesting one back to what i was saying previously right the average american notices
00:15:50.400
their pocketbooks books being affected if they don't like things feeling a little bit out of control
00:15:55.800
even if the media is telling you hey it's all good don't worry about it's russia's fault you know
00:16:00.220
people will buy that and that is very effective our media being 90 plus dominated by the left wing and
00:16:05.900
college campuses being dominated by the left wing that does have a major impact but you can't lie
00:16:12.420
to people it's kind of like you know they keep trying to lie to people about uh biden being all
00:16:16.980
there um and it's it's it's kind of the what is it the king has no clothes on everyone's saying oh wow
00:16:23.820
your clothes are so nice and someone's like no i you don't you're you're naked i don't know what
00:16:28.500
everyone else is talking about like things suck right now um i think that will have an impact on
00:16:34.000
californians but to answer your question last year i have since i started doing street videos
00:16:40.460
and talk to people on the street i've actually noticed things getting a bit worse uh under this
00:16:46.000
administration the media is a lot more tame so people are more tame and they do kind of go with
00:16:52.060
where the media is going however bottom line i think people are going to start to see them like i said
00:16:57.960
paying more for literally everything and that might get them to go vote but uh california
00:17:04.000
i would say overall he's not going in a good direction they're getting more and more radical
00:17:09.460
college students are getting more and more radical when it comes to praising socialism and condemning
00:17:14.540
capitalism or the united states you know um i i did a video recently of children being allowed to
00:17:20.400
transition their gender surgically right if i did that video two years ago people would be like
00:17:25.480
that's absolutely not allowed that is insane are you kidding me your prefrontal cortex isn't even
00:17:29.720
developed until you're 25 years old uh we had no problem getting that video recently with i might
00:17:35.680
have even been a majority of the people saying absolutely go for it even though that's insane
00:17:40.040
the same thing with this florida bill james do people actually know what they're quote unquote signing
00:17:47.880
up for are they just and i've been asking this a lot of people lately because i'm seeing it
00:17:51.700
and i'll transition to uh to something about espn their protest there but this florida bill these
00:17:58.600
are adults who are saying you know transition these kids cut off this that and the other uh don't say
00:18:04.440
gay bill these adults have actually an idea of what they're supporting here which in this case would
00:18:11.060
be you know how old five to eight year olds being taught about gender transitioning and uh transgenderism
00:18:18.100
do they actually know what's going into these things these people you're talking to or do they
00:18:21.800
just have the you know the surface understanding and there's no need to get into it because florida's
00:18:25.780
evil yes it's it's actually crazy um it seems as though i mean this is maybe this goes without
00:18:32.500
saying but depending on what media you watch you have a certain level of being informed what's going
00:18:37.160
on right and uh when it comes to the don't say gay bill quote unquote it's the parental rights and
00:18:43.400
education bill it's a really short bill it's like i think it's like seven pages long and it doesn't say
00:18:47.740
the word gay once and i'm sure you guys have heard that said it doesn't say it once in the bill
00:18:53.260
pretty much what it does is just prevent talking about sex or inappropriate discussions when it comes
00:18:57.760
to sexual orientation or gender identity to kindergarten through third grade and the reason
00:19:04.380
why a lot of people grabbed onto the don't say gay bill one a little bit easier to say than the
00:19:09.120
parental rights and education bill and also spicier no doubt about that but um you know what we had is we
00:19:15.020
had activists in florida using that term and that got all the way up to the white house where jen
00:19:22.040
saki's saying the don't say gay bill where the media lapdogs i mean at this point they the mainstream
00:19:27.680
media is they are just lapdogs for the democratic party and this was one of the scary ones that
00:19:33.040
really exposed that because instead of using the proper name of the bill the parental rights and
00:19:38.020
education bill they just jumped to don't say gay bill and that was a lie and they knew it was a lie
00:19:43.600
but they wanted to defeat the bill why because they have this fixation of going after your children
00:19:48.940
they cannot build the future for america that they want without seriously indoctrinating our youth and
00:19:55.440
to get that agenda to expedite that agenda you need to insert that into children's education should
00:20:01.580
anybody or any teacher k through third grade be talking to a student this little timmy just there
00:20:07.940
playing with uh what are the maybe maybe the uh school alphabet cookies delicious by the way
00:20:13.860
learning how to do his alphabets uh should should they be talking to little timmy about sexual
00:20:19.640
orientation or gender identity absolutely not and there's there's no reasonable uh um counter argument
00:20:26.780
to that at all except for when they get lied to when people get lied to they just regurgitate it
00:20:32.120
i don't think that it's you know we need to make it more acceptable to say gay in classrooms well not
00:20:38.440
really to k through third graders and that's what people aren't understanding so the media seriously
00:20:43.260
misdirected people on this entire bill it's been a disaster and people ate it up gary uh disney
00:20:50.860
employees protested this a few hundred of them they forced the ceo to recant and apologize for i don't
00:20:58.960
know take not taking a tough enough stance and then espn i was watching not directly because i would
00:21:04.360
never watch the women's college basketball uh march madness unfortunately they you know one anchor
00:21:10.700
said they were taking a moment of silence sorry the score was 44 to 4 in the video that's how exciting
00:21:16.220
it was um so an anchor takes a moment of silence then there's two play-by-play commentators who say
00:21:22.960
we're going to take a moment of silence with our brothers and sisters at disney and because this
00:21:28.560
bill attacks parents rights they're reading off a sheet of paper they have no idea what they're
00:21:32.880
talking about and my question to you is do you come across this often in sports media where they're
00:21:38.880
feigning interest in politics and they want to be in the in crowd so they'll take the stance that
00:21:43.480
people are taking without even really knowing it or are you cut off enough from that world at this
00:21:47.780
point where you don't have to be exposed to that lunacy well i mean as to james point it there's no
00:21:55.480
real counter argument to getting involved in this stuff there's just no reason that people this age
00:22:01.400
should be talking about their sexual orientation that's not making sense so and what we're starting
00:22:07.320
to understand is a trend is that people are becoming more advanced with their feelings more advanced with
00:22:13.060
their sexualities younger and younger and when that happens you have a more anxious group of young
00:22:19.060
people a more anxious group of young adults um people on more prescription drugs harder drugs
00:22:26.500
overdoses are up suicides are up everyone is looking at these and all of it's going down because the
00:22:32.940
mainstream media and our celebrities which our celebrities are athletes now um they're all just
00:22:39.040
going with what's comfortable and and trying to seem like you're an open like you're an open book
00:22:44.660
um you're the definition of a liberal liberalism today is not what it was liberalism used to be
00:22:50.260
being open to new ideas and you still have to think when you're a liberal and that thought process
00:22:56.860
um being able to think for yourself is just not part of the process anymore so now it's more about
00:23:02.820
conforming and it doesn't matter who is in the crosshairs of gross negligence and and unfortunately
00:23:08.900
right now it's our children and that's the most fragile group of people that we have on the earth
00:23:14.580
today is our youth and it's under full attack by celebrities and movie stars all over the planet
00:23:20.700
i want to get your take on not specifically your take on ukraine you can give it if you want but the
00:23:27.220
media's reaction to it all the politicians here doesn't matter if you're conservative or liberal
00:23:31.420
you've got a ukrainian flag next to your name we were talking earlier about the push from the media
00:23:35.820
for certain subjects where are you standing on this do you think it should be what it is in the media
00:23:41.060
do you take a side at all give us here a whole 360 view on this if you please
00:23:45.340
i think since the beginning i'll i'll be totally straightforward i i haven't this hasn't been my
00:23:51.860
deepest dive topic lately just with editing filming videos on other various topics but i will just give
00:23:57.780
a quick take on that i mean when it comes down to ukraine and russia um it's very noticeable that the
00:24:06.100
left has actually grabbed on to backing ukraine 100 and and i think there's there's obviously
00:24:12.800
reasonable aspects to that however i think we would not be doing ourselves like you know we're
00:24:18.700
doing ourselves a disservice if we're not actually talking about how there is major corruption in
00:24:24.180
ukraine ukrainians uh the ukrainian government is not and there's a reason why our elites go over there
00:24:30.220
to make a quick buck i mean it's the wild west when it comes to politicians getting rich um you know
00:24:36.120
president trump he was looking into investigating or asking basically hinting that people
00:24:41.460
oh no so it's it's not a am i am i cut off it did for a second start the send um well what really just
00:24:51.940
really i mean it's it's not as though they're just uh a united states equivalent when it comes to
00:24:58.560
uh being a properly functioning democracy there's major corruption in ukraine um i do think that we
00:25:04.980
should be covering it it's very important obviously to cover this uh russia is our is a major enemy of
00:25:11.740
the united states when it comes to their government specifically and um you know i i think it's totally
00:25:17.420
reasonable that it is in the headlines however dominating the entire media and and us talking about
00:25:24.920
absolutely nothing else i think it's a problem just because we have a massive problem in our own
00:25:29.940
country whether it be immigration whether it be energy uh or anything you know pretty much or
00:25:35.580
inflation whatever it may be we have countless issues in our country right now i think the media
00:25:40.700
is grabbing onto ukraine a little bit to uh kind of be a almost a scapegoat for talking about the
00:25:47.480
problems that we have at home but that's pretty much all i can add to that gary how does one decipher
00:25:53.060
through the media how big of a deal this should be or how much they should care about it when
00:25:57.840
everything gets pushed from and i mentioned earlier from rainforests to the police shootings
00:26:02.960
to now ukraine the flags in your bio how does one decipher if everything if something is a corporate
00:26:08.700
push or not well anytime the media is trying to get us to care less about our own pockets and what's
00:26:17.080
going on on our own soil and start caring about what's going on and overseas it's like do i want
00:26:24.320
people in ukraine and and what's what's going on with russia do i do i want people to lose their lives
00:26:29.960
absolutely not that's it's still a priority for people not to lose their lives that's fantastic if
00:26:35.160
we can get this over with as soon as possible but for the most part when the media narrative is
00:26:41.140
saying one side is the enemy ukraine has absolutely nothing to do there's they have nothing to do with
00:26:47.300
what's going on they're not talking about the corruption as james alluded to they're not talking
00:26:51.000
about any of these different factors that are leading to the war they're not talking about who
00:26:54.980
was at the helm when this war triggered off because from what all of us here can understand is that
00:27:00.980
the media told us that donald trump is going to be at the helm when everything hit the fan when stuff
00:27:06.400
hit the fan with russia when everything was going to hit the fan with north korea we all heard that
00:27:11.280
donald trump was going to be a leading cause driving that and he was going to stir the pot and create
00:27:16.800
corruption around the world none of that happened not one time ever and we're sitting here talking
00:27:22.360
about ukraine and russia and all these other countries getting involved and we frankly are if we're going
00:27:29.660
to be arguing with the way that we are covering these events it's like perhaps we should ask who's in
00:27:35.700
charge when these events do go down rather than trying to figure out the details because the
00:27:40.000
details are so hard to figure out what's correct because the media has lied to us so many times
00:27:44.860
yeah and i think it's very interesting that not two years ago it was ukraine uh and biden and hunter
00:27:52.820
biden and the laptop and all the corruption that was there you know they don't allow transgenders to do
00:27:58.680
this and that they've got so many problems they're bombing uh eastern ukraine and everybody else
00:28:04.320
always has to of course preface it with um with putin being a bit of a tyrant which he is he's
00:28:09.900
always trying to take over land that used to be ussr but when it comes to the point of the media all
00:28:15.580
pushing things in one direction i have to agree with you because it comes to a point where you have
00:28:20.700
to you can't even believe what you're reading you have to say okay why is this type of news being
00:28:25.520
pushed on us not necessarily what's in the content but who's pushing it what's the what's the reason why
00:28:30.580
they would take this side and then the facts sort of fall where they will um over time because you
00:28:36.100
can't really trust anything right at the beginning you've got them showing video game footage for
00:28:40.240
their military you've got russia saying uh you got russia saying that we're saving everybody which of
00:28:45.200
course is not the case either lies go in in both directions and i hope that something will happen
00:28:50.840
here where people sort of realize that the economy of the united states does play in a large part due to
00:28:58.080
what the president does he can say that russia you know all the oil prices going up are because of
00:29:03.340
russia that can be true to a degree but it's the facts are it's three percent crude oil that they
00:29:08.280
get from from russia whereas places like saudi arabia is okay you shut down the pipelines coming from
00:29:13.900
canada it's okay uh you know first order of business biden did was shut down the pipeline and
00:29:18.660
the mission game governor tried to shut down a pipeline so to say that they don't have really anything
00:29:23.460
to do with this stuff which is what jen saki and a lot of biden's defenders do sometimes is say you
00:29:29.780
know he doesn't have control over this they do that here with federal mandates it's a bit of a lie
00:29:34.320
and when trump was in office they blamed everything on him whether it was true or false that he was to
00:29:39.500
blame so i think there's a big hypocrisy there and people do need to start looking at where the
00:29:43.920
message is coming from if they haven't already if cnn msnbc and abc are all saying the same thing
00:29:50.660
it's probably for a reason it's probably coming from a top-down source and if fox and oan are
00:29:57.240
kissing trump's ass about one thing specifically over and over again then it's probably for a reason
00:30:02.520
as well that's my monologue thanks for watching this has been chef talk with andrew sheffield
00:30:08.120
thanks for coming you guys um james klug on youtube and instagram you can follow him there where his
00:30:13.440
stuff is constantly blowing up uh chef talk is fridays at seven o'clock i've written it down follow
00:30:18.760
the link in his twitter my favorite twitter profile still gary sheffield always fun to talk
00:30:23.020
to you guys any closing words anything you guys want to say
00:30:25.400
oof well i was just thinking really quick off the top of my head it's funny how uh when when
00:30:32.360
when trump was in office uh how everything like you said everything is his fault 100 of the time
00:30:38.280
absolutely it's black and white absolutely his fault when their guy's in office it's the most
00:30:43.260
nuanced conversation you'll ever have he doesn't make any sense when he's talking like he's he's
00:30:49.300
talking to those troops and saying you're going to be in ukraine you're going to see it when you go
00:30:53.020
there uh you'll see people standing in front of tanks and which of course isn't happening they die
00:30:58.040
and then he talks to the fox news reporter and he says i didn't say that i was talking about poland
00:31:02.480
i was talking about they'll see people in poland when they train with them like it doesn't make
00:31:05.840
any sense it's like when he's free-flowing he becomes uh has dimension everything and then they shoot
00:31:11.760
him full of the i don't know whatever focusing drugs they have available and then he can sort of
00:31:18.060
he can sort of clairvoyantly speak for a few minutes gary anything else from you
00:31:22.060
to piggyback off what james said real quick um he was talking about the blame well what about the
00:31:28.080
credit when donald trump was in office and america was in the best spot ever in 2016 through 19
00:31:33.920
everyone was talking about what's great about america and who's responsible well donald trump
00:31:38.100
said i'm responsible i'm the one in the chair i'm the one here and people said well hold on a
00:31:43.060
second the people responsible for the economy and the prices is barack obama's policies from two or
00:31:48.020
three years ago remember that stuff so then all of a sudden now that things are hitting the fan now
00:31:52.380
suddenly the president just has no influence whatsoever on the media it's just amazing how that
00:31:56.860
happened it truly is all right i want to thank you guys for coming on we'll have you on again soon
00:32:05.900
i'm holding on way too long and i don't know why
00:32:27.080
well you know me i go quiet i don't like to lie
