00:00:14.900
We're gonna get really political. I don't want to go there.
00:00:24.740
because he started a whole bunch of conversation.
00:00:30.000
Because you're making me think that all my answers are wrong.
00:00:33.740
There's no right or wrong answer. It's just your opinion.
00:00:38.200
Why'd you go, oh my God, when you said all lives matter?
00:00:40.640
Because, like, before you explained it, it was, like, kind of Republican.
00:00:44.080
Isn't it crazy that that's a political statement?
00:00:55.760
Then, I don't know. I don't want to talk about it.
00:00:58.640
Canceling is also, like, a form of hate speech.
00:01:01.300
I mean, you're kind of, like, forcing someone to be silent
00:01:05.480
Even if their viewpoints are wrong, I think people are still entitled to them.
00:01:08.380
It should be able to have, like, discussion without, like, being scared of getting cancelled.
00:01:26.880
because I saw the fuss around Kanye West's White Lives Matter,
00:01:32.560
and I absolutely didn't agree with the way he was provoking.
00:01:57.340
He said it was really funny because it was a black man stating the obvious.
00:02:04.040
It's funny that it's politically incorrect to say that your life matters.
00:02:31.920
What has he done that makes you think that he's crazy?
00:02:53.780
I think he's more of an asshole than crazy, to be honest.
00:03:13.240
No one should be saying that, and I absolutely do not support him.
00:03:16.480
If you support him and have downloaded any of his albums recently, I'm not a friend anymore.
00:03:22.280
What's one thing you would say to Ye right now, if he was watching this?
00:03:30.260
What's one thing you would say to Ye if he was watching this?
00:03:46.720
And get back on your fucking medication, our kid.
00:03:50.220
I love you, I appreciate you, and I wish you well, bro.
00:03:56.720
Try to use your platform to bring people together instead of driving them apart.
00:04:04.360
Trashing that is just really disappointing, I think.
00:04:19.200
So what do you stream now, or what platform do you use?
00:04:36.480
I think he's getting to help his niece right now, right?
00:04:52.080
I'm not familiar with him, so it's just something comes to the news, and I saw it, and it's a
00:05:00.960
If you're not that familiar, why do you think he's crazy?
00:05:02.680
Because sometimes I will look at the news and just get information from the news.
00:05:13.140
Should we believe everything we see in the news?
00:05:14.840
I think the only thing I can do is trust news, because I have no other information comes from other, anywhere else.
00:05:30.820
Good question, because he's my friend, and I don't know, he's going a little bit crazy on his words lately.
00:05:41.860
I've been living for three days, constantly three days, anywhere, in Massachusetts.
00:05:54.000
Actually, he talked about good things at the time, but I don't know what's happening to him now.
00:05:59.940
What's one thing that you could tell him if Yeh was listening?
00:06:02.260
If he's listening to me right now, he knows, he told me he wants to build America like Israel.
00:06:19.100
Well, everybody got a little crazy on them, you know what I mean?
00:06:22.680
So crazy is really everything, because you do crazy stuff every day without realizing it, you know what I mean?
00:06:41.120
Well, it made me crazy that I work a lot of hours and things like that, you know what I mean?
00:06:47.540
From 9 in the morning to 12 at 9, 6 days, that's crazy.
00:07:00.720
He said if you're running alongside a highway in short shorts against traffic, you're crazy.
00:07:22.260
I can't be affected by someone else's choice of what they want to say.
00:07:26.740
You don't get affected by what other people say?
00:07:30.800
Why do you think other people online get so mad about what other people say?
00:07:33.560
Because they're easily influenced by other people's emotions.
00:07:36.660
And their emotions are controlled by what they got to say.
00:07:38.940
Do you think we prioritize feelings over facts online?
00:07:43.640
Because it just stimulates your serotonin and all that dopamine anyway just by being on social media.
00:08:08.540
I honestly didn't support Black Lives Matter because the money put into that program was
00:08:23.040
Was anything accomplished for Black Lives Matter?
00:08:47.680
I think people say he's crazy because they don't want them to hear what he's really saying,
00:09:14.220
Are you laughing because you know you said something offensive or you said something that's
00:09:17.120
so truthful that it could get this video deleted?
00:09:43.760
All this is in, uh, you're, you have a table set up inside of Trantham, which is private
00:09:48.280
We've been filming, I do this for like two years now.
00:09:50.180
Yeah, no, they just came upstairs, you know, Trantham came upstairs, they asked us to move
00:09:53.740
Do you think that Trump deserves to be banned off of social media?
00:10:06.660
I think Trump deserves a life in prison for treason or worse.
00:10:18.680
I think he's, I think he should be a convicted felon and have those, uh, you know, everything
00:10:23.440
You don't see convicted felons sitting in and giving you an interview.
00:10:30.940
Uh, I think that Kanye West should be embarrassed for himself.
00:10:34.780
Uh, his anti-Semitism is disgusting and, uh, and he's a disgusting individual.
00:10:42.020
If I ran the social media company, he would be banned.
00:10:45.680
What's one thing you would say to Yeh if he was watching this?
00:10:52.920
There was a, an incident in Los Angeles today attributed to him where people were showing
00:10:58.840
banners over the freeway that said Kanye's right and the Jews need to die.
00:11:05.420
He's taking responsibility for other people misinterpreting his message?
00:11:19.840
The message he said that he was going to go death, quote, death con three on Jews.
00:11:23.880
And, uh, and as a matter of fact, his followers are, you know, uh, making anti-Semitic statements
00:11:33.620
He's crazy because, um, he's crazy enough to challenge himself and also crazy enough to
00:11:45.340
And when he first came out, he challenged everyone's perspective to think differently.
00:11:51.100
And right now I just feel like, yeah, he's crazy.
00:11:57.820
He's crazy in so many different ways that we can't even comprehend because we haven't
00:12:02.140
got there in our psyche yet to understand what the hell is going on with him.
00:12:13.040
He's just now is challenging everything and everyone's perspective.
00:12:16.620
Just like white lives matters and white black lives matter.
00:12:19.820
We're challenging where our mind is at, what words, what, what, where words have power.
00:12:26.460
And if we're going to give it power and we gave black lives matter power because it matters.
00:12:31.520
And there's a huge demographic of this world for so many years that have been programmed
00:12:40.680
Their, their perspective on all our ecosystems is powerful.
00:12:48.300
I want to talk about people that look like us, that think like us, because for so many
00:12:51.920
years, our, our, us mattering has not been appreciated, has of no value.
00:12:56.980
And we have literally been raped and we have been taking all our resources and it's been
00:13:01.800
spreading around the world that we can't even figure out who we are.
00:13:05.240
What's one thing you would say to yay if he was watching this?
00:13:07.740
If I was to say yay, I was like, yo, give us, put it in the music, put it in the music,
00:13:16.520
We're going to feed into it because your power is in music, music, just like power was
00:13:20.380
in Mozart, power was in Beethoven, power was in, you know, in Beyonce.
00:13:25.540
You need to put it in the music and just leave it there.
00:13:30.920
Let your art form seek into every person's soul like it does and keep it there.
00:13:36.120
If it's, if it's good, if it's bad, if it's politics, if it's relationship, if it's love,
00:13:42.760
just put it in your music because that's how you started and that's how you're going to
00:13:49.940
Everybody created, social media created cancel culture because everybody that logged.
00:13:58.600
Yeah, but I'm not, I'm not, I don't know the exact, I know who created it, but at the
00:14:06.400
end, but who made it take it to the next level?
00:14:13.540
The people's, the algorithms that are being shut down, that people are not allowing to
00:14:22.780
No, because there's platforms like this that make it alive.
00:14:25.480
What if I told you I'm banned on every single social media platform?
00:14:31.640
You came to challenge spaces and those spaces don't, are afraid of this type of conversations
00:14:41.080
And I think what we need to do is start to think about humanity as a whole, about whether
00:14:48.520
Because the way things are going right now, it seems like nobody's life matters, man.
00:14:53.820
Look at the homeless population, look at the jail population, mental health, we have
00:14:58.960
a mental health crisis, food crisis, unemployment crisis.
00:15:05.040
So if the way I look at it, we need to ask, does anybody's life matter?
00:15:11.620
I think the brother, as a clinical social worker, the brother needs to definitely be on
00:15:16.040
I think he definitely is exhibiting symptoms of bipolar disorder and he needs to be on medication.
00:15:21.720
What's one thing you could tell Ye right now if he was watching this?
00:15:26.080
Brother man, get your mental health in order and then come back and say all the stuff you've
00:15:42.460
I mean, it might make me seem crazy, but he's just universally in tune.
00:15:56.780
You know what you can see is what you think is what it is, but that ain't what it is.
00:16:05.200
Why do you think they're trying to ban him off everything?
00:16:13.440
You just got to pay attention to what he's saying.
00:16:16.820
What's one thing you would say to Ye right now if he was watching this?
00:16:32.400
Is that it's something that happens in practice?
00:16:35.280
You know, I think from what I see on the media, a lot of folks are talking about they're being censored.
00:16:44.220
And if they call out certain things, they live to regret it later on.
00:16:50.880
And so, you know, our freedoms are being challenged today.
00:16:55.700
And the concept of freedom of speech is really being challenged, especially in this age of digital,
00:17:01.280
the rapid fire of how much information is spread around, and the way people have the opportunity,
00:17:07.380
have the ability to edit what they want to edit, like this.
00:17:20.660
It's like really being careful about how we use social media, what messaging we put out there,
00:17:32.380
We got to start re-honoring humanity and stop pivoting so much on what comes out of people's mouth.
00:17:39.480
Because a lot of the time, people say a lot of things, and they're just talking.
00:17:45.980
I believe no one deserves to get banned on social media unless you're a rapist, a pedophile,
00:17:54.700
And that's basically your content, where you're promoting child abuse or something like that.
00:18:02.500
But I don't think that if you're talking and you're expressing how you feel about certain situations,
00:18:09.500
Or have any input on what your content is, especially if you're not doing no rapist shit.
00:18:22.000
I don't see why they should take it away from you, you heard?
00:18:26.700
They just know that a person has a grip to the world.
00:18:35.880
They don't like when people have a certain amount of power.
00:18:39.820
And, for instance, your power will be your followers.
00:18:42.600
So now we shut down your followers and we shut down you have no following.
00:18:56.100
What would you say to EA right now if he was watching this?
00:19:06.740
Because they're going to take it a lot of different ways.
00:19:42.640
They're not having these conversations because of, let's say, cancel culture.
00:19:48.320
But yeah, at the end of the day, it's like what's correct and right by people, not just groups of people, you know, in general.
00:19:57.040
We're at a time where we need to all hold hands or it's all going to go down the drain.
00:20:07.560
Because it's easier to control people that aren't unified.
00:20:13.900
Now, I think you're trying to say this is censorship, but I don't believe that censorship.
00:20:26.020
I think when it's the ex-president, that's a level of censorship.
00:20:30.400
You're thinking about him as a man, Donald Trump as a person, but this is somebody who was the leader of the free world.
00:20:36.680
Well, I don't believe he was the leader of the free world.
00:20:39.720
It's a title, but you understand what I'm saying.
00:20:41.840
Cozying up to Putin the way that he did in Helsinki.
00:20:46.060
Cozying up to Kim Jong-il that he did in South Korea.
00:20:52.420
My point is that singling out and trying to point it at his ego and saying that he's addicted to Twitter
00:20:56.760
is minimizing the fact that you're seeing a justice punishment when a lot of people probably should hear
00:21:02.920
what the ex-president of the United States has to say.
00:21:11.400
My opinion is, you know, put him on an ice floe and set him out in the sea and let him melt and let the whales eat him up.
