00:00:05.680 Here's Dave Chappelle.
00:00:06.620 He said a lot of things this weekend.
00:00:08.540 A lot of things.
00:00:09.280 I don't know if you watch it or not, Vinny.
00:00:10.920 Did you?
00:00:11.320 How was it?
00:00:12.620 It's okay.
00:00:14.400 He's the best.
00:00:16.800 The first thing I saw, he had a Kaepernick.
00:00:19.700 The name Kaepernick on the back of his shirt.
00:00:21.700 I'm like, what the?
00:00:22.740 Like, Colin Kaepernick, with all due respect, give me an effing break.
00:00:27.080 The guy whose career went to shit, so he was like,
00:00:29.040 let me grow my afro as big as possible.
00:00:32.040 Give me, come on.
00:00:33.100 Let's read this story.
00:00:33.880 And started hating on white people and his parents are adopted white.
00:00:36.020 I'm actually with Vinny.
00:00:37.080 I'm actually with Vinny.
00:00:37.640 Go ahead and play this clip.
00:00:38.460 Yeah, bro.
00:00:38.680 What are you talking about?
00:00:38.780 Go ahead.
00:00:39.980 And the whites were quick to say this.
00:00:41.720 They said, Charlie Kirk is this generation's Martin Luther King.
00:00:45.380 You know what I'm saying?
00:00:45.960 Mo?
00:00:46.700 Can we play it or no?
00:00:47.800 On Netflix?
00:00:48.260 Hold on.
00:00:48.940 I was going to say, can you play this?
00:00:50.260 I don't know.
00:00:50.740 This is not the best.
00:00:51.900 No, no, no.
00:00:52.860 We can play a small clip.
00:00:54.500 What I'm saying is Netflix.
00:00:55.140 We give commentary about it?
00:00:56.380 You know what I'm saying?
00:00:56.760 I don't know if they get taken down.
00:00:58.040 As long as we give commentary and talk.
00:00:59.380 Oh, we're going to give commentary.
00:01:00.000 Oh, yeah, we're talking.
00:01:00.980 We're talking.
00:01:01.560 Hey, Netflix, don't take this down.
00:01:03.020 We want to give you guys a promotion on David Shepard.
00:01:04.820 Come on, guys.
00:01:05.220 Yeah, that's a reach.
00:01:09.380 Huh.
00:01:09.720 Saying that he's not MLK.
00:01:10.460 They both got murdered in a terrible fashion.
00:01:12.520 They both got shot in the neck.
00:01:14.320 But that's about where those similarities end.
00:01:16.540 Jeez.
00:01:18.180 Because Charlie Kirk is a motherfucking internet personality.
00:01:24.100 No, by design, fundamentally, he can't function like Dr. King.
00:01:28.440 Internet niggas are negative because they have to be.
00:01:32.220 Because nobody will engage them unless they say shit that makes them upset.
00:01:37.500 That's Charlie Kirk.
00:01:39.500 Wow.
00:01:40.580 Could you imagine Dr. King's back?
00:01:42.380 This is actually a shame.
00:01:43.500 Let him finish.
00:01:44.460 Let him finish.
00:01:45.100 Like Charlie Kirk.
00:01:46.160 Smash that like button and subscribe.
00:01:48.440 Follow me for more content like this.
00:01:55.940 I believe all black people should be free.
00:01:58.900 Change my mind.
00:02:01.820 It's crowded.
00:02:04.980 Okay.
00:02:05.720 Go ahead, Adam.
00:02:07.220 Well, Dave Chappelle is just purely wrong about Charlie Kirk.
00:02:11.740 I love Dave Chappelle.
00:02:13.020 I've spent time with Dave Chappelle.
00:02:14.380 I mean, he's, in my opinion, the greatest comedian, certainly of our generation.
00:02:18.780 Chappelle's show was completely groundbreaking 20 years ago, dealing with politics and race
00:02:24.080 relations and sexual relations, everything.
00:02:27.360 Dave Chappelle pulls no punches.
00:02:29.360 He's a free speech absolutist.
00:02:31.240 He understands race and identity and culture.
00:02:34.420 And he's a brilliant, brilliant guy.
00:02:36.240 He's just dead ass wrong about Charlie Kirk.
00:02:39.100 And to dismiss Charlie as just some internet person is, at the very least, uninformed, at
00:02:47.480 the very most, just plain stupid, bro.
00:02:51.200 Charlie Kirk was a monster, a giant in a political social culture that thrives off social media.
00:03:00.180 He's not a social media influencer like some OnlyFans chick or some kid that's just doing
00:03:05.520 it for likes and clicks.
00:03:06.480 He built a full-on coalition that helped Donald Trump win in 2024.
00:03:13.400 So to dismiss that as some internet person is naive.
00:03:16.860 And again, this is the whole thing.
00:03:18.760 I'm not going to condemn Dave Chappelle or say that he's wrong about everything.
00:03:22.840 Dave Chappelle's right about most things.
00:03:24.760 He's just wrong about this thing.
00:03:26.900 Benny.
00:03:27.820 Yeah.
00:03:28.100 I don't know if you caught what he just did right there.
00:03:31.580 I definitely saw that.
00:03:33.180 What did I do right there?
00:03:33.740 What did I do right there?
00:03:35.220 Go ahead, Benny.
00:03:36.180 We saw what you did.
00:03:37.320 But think about it.
00:03:38.180 You know what?
00:03:38.460 I'm out of here, guys.
00:03:40.200 I just wanted to do it.
00:03:40.580 Go use your restroom.
00:03:41.620 Go ahead.
00:03:41.880 I got to go and shoot outside.
00:03:43.760 No.
00:03:44.560 By the way, him saying that he was internet and he was just spewing negative things,
00:03:48.460 Charlie sat in front of college campuses and people all over the country and engaged
00:03:53.520 because of their negative crap.
00:03:55.400 He was the light.
00:03:56.280 He was the positivity.
00:03:58.160 So to compare, to say that, and Baji, yeah, Martin Luther King, it was Martin Luther King.
00:04:02.600 I get it.
00:04:03.060 Civil rights and all that, all that stuff.
00:04:04.700 But to brush him off as some internet guy.
00:04:06.900 And by the way, Dave Chappelle's another one of these guys that just has that victim mentality.
00:04:12.620 At the end of it, he's like, man, we got to get this mother effing the orange man out.
00:04:16.280 Like, really?
00:04:16.840 He said that.
00:04:17.460 Yeah, at the end of it.
00:04:18.460 Like, what is your obsession?
00:04:20.540 Like, he's falling into the, like, he was talking about, like, and I get the joke of it.
00:04:24.180 Like, this, this, he got, you know, National Guard and here and here and in Washington and here and he got him in Memphis.
00:04:32.260 Well, Memphis actually looks pretty good because, you know, I was there and it looked good because it was clean.
00:04:36.160 I mean, he's, he's admitted, I know, I know that he's, he's, he's walking the line, but the whole, like, and again, wearing the shirt with Kaepernick on the back tells me everything I need to know about where you're at.
00:04:46.560 As if, you want to talk about comparing him, what's the, like, symbolism about wearing that?
00:04:51.960 What is it?
00:04:52.760 You know what I mean?
00:04:53.520 Yeah.
00:04:53.860 And, I mean, not only is he wrong about Kirk, but he's wrong about Martin Luther King, too.
00:04:57.180 He's painting Martin Luther King as if he walked on water and was holier than thou.
00:05:00.180 Martin Luther King, not only, he had, like, a ton of extramarital affairs where he was cheating on his wife.
00:05:05.720 He was alleged to have watched sexual assault take place.
00:05:09.740 He was alleged to have done numerous plagiarism throughout his academic career.
00:05:13.740 So, like, a lot of the stuff that he was saying and a lot of stuff that he had credit for, like, might have been BS.
00:05:18.240 And he wasn't the person he, like, painted himself as, you know, like, where Kirk was, like, super Christian, super good guy.
00:05:25.140 And you don't think if MLK was alive today, he'd be using the hell out of social media.
00:05:29.060 Of course he would be.
00:05:30.080 Of course.
00:05:30.400 So, it's like, it's a weird.
00:05:31.520 He'd be a live streaming machine.
00:05:32.880 Yeah.
00:05:33.220 All day, every day.
00:05:34.180 Playing video games and, you know, saying what he's saying.
00:05:36.920 He'd be a menace today.
00:05:37.880 Yeah.
00:05:38.140 No, he would be.
00:05:38.780 But, by the way, my opinion, I want to go to the next story.
00:05:42.360 My opinion, they both have a massive impact.
00:05:45.140 Martin Luther King is a painting of a painting of him in my house that he's in.
00:05:50.140 He's one of the only eight characters in that painting that I have.
00:05:54.300 But, to me, Charlie Kirk is bigger than Martin Luther King.
00:05:57.480 Period.
00:05:58.360 Charlie Kirk, there's 4,600 hours of him.
00:06:01.820 There's only about 4,200 hours of MLK speaking.
00:06:05.180 You talk about the personal life.
00:06:06.420 Even if you go watch some of his documentary, if you type in some of the, just type in Dead Mentors as the painting.
00:06:13.040 That's what you got to type.
00:06:13.740 If you go look at some of his documentaries and what he's done, Dead Mentors.
00:06:18.780 Not the Dude Romney, Dead Mentors.
00:06:22.080 Dude Romney.
00:06:23.180 There you go.
00:06:23.780 That's a good images and you'll see it.
00:06:25.700 So, no, but to me, Charlie Kirk, what he did is a lot tougher.
00:06:31.060 You know, much bigger.
00:06:32.620 I wouldn't say much tougher because MLK, what he did at his time was tough.
00:06:36.260 But Charlie Kirk made a massive, massive impact.
00:06:39.800 MLK, peaceful protest.
00:06:41.400 The things that he did.
00:06:42.080 Selma followed the story very closely.
00:06:44.840 But I just think Charlie's legacy is going to be bigger long-term than MLK's.
00:06:50.240 My opinion.
00:06:51.460 I think Charlie's legacy is going to be not two times.
00:06:55.240 A hundred times bigger than MLK's long-term.
00:06:57.840 Simply because there's more stuff that's documented with Charlie than there was with MLK.
00:07:01.160 I don't know if Charlie's going to end up being bigger than MLK.
00:07:06.100 Regardless to me, MLK, Charlie Kirk, some of the greatest Americans to ever live.
00:07:12.020 You only try to assassinate the people who are the people moving the needle.
00:07:16.220 Abraham Lincoln, JFK, what they try to do to Trump, MLK.
00:07:19.160 I want to go to the next story, Adam.
00:07:20.080 So what I'm saying, our friend Brandon over here basically only listed the negative about MLK.
00:07:27.620 Because he said he was perfect.
00:07:28.980 Okay.
00:07:29.280 Who said he's perfect?
00:07:30.560 Dave Chappelle did.
00:07:31.460 Nobody's perfect.
00:07:32.260 Yeah, but he made him sound like he was perfect.
00:07:33.680 Okay.
00:07:33.980 But to only highlight the negatives of MLK is doing a disservice to MLK and the country.
00:07:39.380 All right.
00:07:39.560 Let's go to the next thing.
00:07:40.080 The other night, my wife's hosting some of her friends over at the house with Bible study.
00:07:46.080 Anyways, they're doing their thing.
00:07:47.280 They're having their food.
00:07:47.940 They're laughing.
00:07:48.900 And I come in.
00:07:49.780 There's like 20 cars in front of our house.
00:07:51.480 My security freaks out.
00:07:52.660 He's thinking something's going on.
00:07:54.420 I said, no, no, no.
00:07:55.000 I think there's something.
00:07:55.860 I think Jen told me.
00:07:56.600 And I forgot.
00:07:57.180 Obviously, I forget we had something.
00:07:58.780 And I come in.
00:07:59.320 This lady walks up to me.
00:08:00.760 We start talking.
00:08:02.960 Very nice lady.
00:08:04.120 She says, oh, I see the shoes you're wearing.
00:08:05.960 She says, are those the shoes you've worn 3,000 days in a row?
00:08:09.760 She says, after hearing you talk about it, that you've been wearing it for so many days,
00:08:13.500 I eventually bought one for my husband.
00:08:15.360 So guess what, folks?
00:08:16.180 You know what I'm wearing today?
00:08:17.100 3,001.
00:08:17.840 Let me tell you.
00:08:18.500 When I tell you, since September 9th, September 10th, I've worn this every day except for three days.
00:08:24.500 I'm not kidding with you.
00:08:25.620 It's the most comfortable shoes in the world.
00:08:28.860 It's the product that you see us talk about every single flipping day.
00:08:31.760 But today's special.
00:08:32.520 Let me tell you why it's special.
00:08:33.840 You know what just showed up?
00:08:35.120 Nice.
00:08:35.480 The whites officially showed up to our factory.
00:08:38.080 First time ever.
00:08:39.900 And the Navy Blues showed up.
00:08:42.540 First time ever.
00:08:43.940 By the way, this is now in our fourth order because they sell out.
00:08:48.140 So if you're somebody that's wondering why are people loving these FLB shoes,
00:08:53.580 you may want to watch this video and find out for yourself
00:08:56.000 and then go place an order for someone you love.
00:08:58.440 But this white one just came.
00:09:00.320 Absolutely sick.
00:09:01.380 Look at the bottom of it with the FLB on the bottom.
00:09:04.000 Watch this clip and it will take you to VT Merch and we'll go from there.
00:09:06.880 Go ahead.
00:09:07.160 To create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury.
00:09:12.920 We had the choice to make it fast.
00:09:15.060 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:09:17.120 We chose neither.
00:09:18.600 Instead, we chose Tuscaniro.
00:09:20.920 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:09:23.520 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:09:26.340 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail.
00:09:29.820 And we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:09:34.100 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:09:37.460 Not rushed.
00:09:38.880 Not disposable.
00:09:40.360 Not ordinary.
00:09:41.720 Rather intentional.
00:09:44.480 Luxurious.
00:09:45.720 Timeless.
00:09:49.860 There you go.
00:09:51.660 Umberto, do you want to go to vtmerch.com?
00:09:53.760 Oh, you're wearing it today.
00:09:54.580 Good for you.
00:09:55.040 By the way, there's nothing like wearing these shoes
00:09:57.320 and you're sitting in a boardroom or in a conference room
00:09:59.580 or anywhere at dinner
00:10:01.220 and you put your feet like this
00:10:02.320 and everybody sees it
00:10:03.360 and they say, you've got to be kidding me.
00:10:04.740 Go all the way down.
00:10:05.380 Remember, these are 100% made in Italy.
00:10:07.400 100%.
00:10:08.160 Five factories with the on-cloud foam on the bottom.
00:10:11.680 The super foam technology on the bottom
00:10:13.120 so it's comfortable and light when you wear it.
00:10:15.240 And if you compare them to the Berluti
00:10:16.460 Fergamo, Zenia's, Gucci's,
00:10:18.200 the price difference is insane.
00:10:21.460 So if you haven't placed an order or two,
00:10:24.040 the list we get of people that are buying,
00:10:25.920 I can't say the names until these people wear it.
00:10:28.260 You would be amazed who's ordering these shoes
00:10:30.640 for Christmas for themselves and their families.
00:10:33.320 Go to vtmerch.com, place an order or two,
00:10:36.080 one for yourself, one for somebody you love,
00:10:37.800 or maybe your husband, someone else you got out there
00:10:39.760 so they can wear the FLB shoes.
00:10:42.180 The white and navy blue is here.
00:10:44.000 The sizes, if you're wondering what's already been out,
00:10:46.320 size 13 sold out.
00:10:48.360 For navy blue, these are not available size,
00:10:51.240 navy blue, my God, it just goes very quickly,
00:10:54.300 okay, on what sizes are there.
00:10:55.340 But go place your order.
00:10:56.240 It'll tell you when it's gonna be delivered.
