Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you're going to be in Richmond, Virginia.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm gonna be here this Friday and Saturday at the
Richmond Fanny Bone. Two shows Friday, two shows Saturday. So
I'm checking me after you take a notion. Did you
see where they arrested the person that they say started
the Pali stage fire.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I did, and he was from Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I saw again he'd be a right wing you that
job already met apologized to Can Bass and and uh
Ganna Newsom because they really because it wasn't negligent, it
was it was apologize to him, and they won't do that. No,
of course not, of course, No, somebody deliberately set those fires.
And if they set those fires, they set them on
the day when they knew it would be like this. Yep,
(00:36):
they say that after ten miles an hour a fire department,
a fireman is a suspectator. If winds are hiding ten
miles an hour, could he just suspectator? Wow, he's just
a referee. And now I remember I told you I
talked to I'd spoken to Steven A. Smith a couple
of months ago, and I called and we talked and
I was like, I'm you know what I'm going to
(00:56):
try to do is temper myne. Not that there are
three people out the spies. He's not one of them.
But I despise Van Jones, I despise Jason Whidlocke, and
I despise myself. I despised them, right, But Stephen AG's
my fred brother.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You know I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So I said I would, I would be more more
judicious about the things I said and how I said them, right,
But his assault on Jasmine Crockett, which I don't understand
because he's like, well, why she's like Jasmine Crockett is
in the opposition party, she doesn't hold any political power.
She's a very junior citizen. She's his congressman. She doesn't
(01:35):
sit on any other committees, and she doesn't chare any
of those. So I would wonder why he would wonder
about her efficacy in terms of her constituents and not
Donald Trump. How does going after Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel,
Jemmy Fallon and you know Roseanne and rose O'Donnell help
his constituents, or rambling in front of generals, or or
(01:56):
rambling in front of navy people, or or or or
doing any number of things he does all the time.
Do you know that Jim Jeffries, Jim Jordan has been
in Congress for seventeen eighteen years and never been one
piece of legislation. All he does is rolling, sleeps up
and look like So I wondered why it was her
that he picked, and it seems to be because it's
low hanging fruit. Ye, well it does because nobody can
(02:19):
tell me that Donald Trump works hard, you know, nobody
can tell me that. And I and I and I
wonder why he does stuff like that because I sincerely,
I was sincere my words, I wasn't. I'm trying to
be judicious. That's I think that's beyond the pale. And
I'm not jasumine. I are friends, but I'm not. That's
not you know, I can call it like I see it,
And I think it's disingenuous to talk about leadership such
(02:42):
at the top.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
He would have you believe it started at the bottle?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And did you hear Don Lemon? You see Don Levy?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
He called everybody game, he said, Mike Johnson, Benny Johnson,
Lindsey Graham and.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, and uh lind and Tim.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Scott, Yeah, Tim Scott. He his gums are gay. That's
how I knew it. He has gay gums. He does.
Look at his gums, you can tell he gets yeah.
I mean, he didn't start teating until he was thirty seven. Warning,
(03:24):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Oh wait a minute, let me get my supplant.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Thanks so much for having me, of.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Course, absolutely so. Let me ask you this right out
the gate. How in the world did a kid, you know,
directing the church in Chicago and just doing your thing
there end up traveling around the world with some of
the greatest artists that we've ever known.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Growing up in Chicago, I had a love for music
and singing, and that led me to get my degree
in music and then moving to LA just wanted to
pursue this as a profession. My family is a musical family.
We grew up in church thinking and doing things like that,
but nobody really, ever.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Has taken it to the next level and done it professionally.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
So I moved to LA in twenty fifteen was my
attempt to really go after it and really get some
things started.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
My original plan was.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
To come out here and do a few auditions and
you know, get on a tour singing background for someone
that was really the peak.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Okay, wait a second, see you So you mean you
moved out to LA and you didn't have a contract
or anything with anyone, so you just came out here
on a dream.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I came out here on a dream and vibes.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh right now, See that's how you do it. That's
how the dream works.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Though.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You got to step out there on faith and make
it work. That is a lot of people wouldn't do that.
And from Chicago to LA.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was such a huge jump.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Definitely a faith move because it was really a culture
shock too with just the two different cities and really
meeting to you because I didn't know anybody in La,
so didn't have a job, didn't really have a lot
of connections, so really had to start from zero and
hit the ground running.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
So let me ask you this. I know in reading
a little bit about you, it talks about how you
bring an artist's vision to life. What does that mean?
And how do you do such a thing.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
So all artists that I work with are different and
each process is different. So meeting with the artists, I
really tried to get try to get into their brain
and try to really get inside their creative, their creative cocoon,
if you will, just to see where they're coming from,
what they want to performance to look like, what they
(05:50):
want the performance to feel like, especially if they want singers.
How many singers do they want? All women or all men?
What will they be wearing? What does the lighting look like?
So I really try to get as much information up
top because I think.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That that informs the vocals.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Because thinking is all about emotion and conveying a story.
So if my small piece in the performance, I need
to ask all those questions to make sure my piece
is aligning with everything else. So just really getting it
to fit and feel good for them, and obviously I
(06:26):
would like to like it too, but you know, sometimes
the artists wants what they want.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Have you ever had.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Something that you consider like a big disaster or something
that you really wanted to work.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And it just didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Oh yeah, all the time. I wouldn't call it a
big disaster. It's just a part of the process. It's
like I can think something is so dope, and I
teach it and I, you know, show us to the
artists and they're like, we don't like that, we don't
want to see that, And I can't be I can't
be emotionally attached to the work because it's not always
about me.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
So let me ask you this, this Live now. How
can people who want to get involved with that? How
can they reach you? Contact you register? How do they
do that?

I'm not mad at you, see do what you gotta do.
I'm so happy for you. I'm glad that that this
is working out because I think it is. It's it
is not often, like I said that, somebody will have
a dream, move on that dream and a big move
at that, you know, with absolutely nothing going in your
favor other than God and faith, and you did that.
(07:46):
So congratulations. I wish you continue to success. I do
want to say this really quickly with this this Live Now,
is there like I don't know, like an age limit
because you know, I have people who know me and
especially the executive producer on the show and everybody they know.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's just time to give a deserving someone the Shoe
Booty Week Award.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
And now it's time for the shoes. We don't lock
your kind around.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Here, Alex Day, I look at this, I start having
an anxiety attack.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
As an American far right radio show host and prominent
conspiracy theorist, he hosts the Alex Jones Show from Boston, Texas.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
He is the founder of info War's websites that promote
conspiracy theories and fake news.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Scar that comes as no big surprise to me, sir.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
So, why is the screen king this week's recipient of
the shoe Booty of the Week Award.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Okay, let's hear it that this infom warrior gets the
shoe glue because he did a social experiment and everyone
said zaghile no.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
When the right wing conspiracy theorist began Thursday show, he
was wearing what was formerly called the toothbrush mustache but
is now more commonly known as a hit your mustache.
We can go viral with this one. He said he
was conducting a social experiment to see if the world
has changed over the last eighty years. What it was
(10:10):
based on the fact that he and JD. Vance or
Junior Donald Vance demand Americans stop using the n word Nazi.
It's weird if you want everyone to stop using the
word Nazi and stop trying to take away the Civil
Rights Act, stop trying to control education, Stop sending the
(10:33):
military to police the streets. In other words, if you
don't want to be called a Nazi, stop doing Nazi things. Yah.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
His show in for Wars is about as reliable as
a dog writing a news report with his tale. It's
as reliable as a paper on Brella and a hurricane.
You this was a social experiment because when he came
back after the break, the stash was gone. He realized
(11:11):
during the period he lost over sixty percent of his audience.
And let's admit it to the only thing the right
wing conspiracy cult cares about is ratings.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
He felt again murdering Trash.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
The Bald bull Horn Bandit thought it was a funny joke,
but he was the punchline. And that's why the shoes
Booty of the Week award goes too. Alex Joones, now
here's a swift kick in the ass.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Now, right now, it's time for what you need to
know with one and only Sybil Wilkes.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. President
Trump says he's not ruling out using the insurrection apt
to address violent crime in Chicago. Speaking to reporters this week,
Trump said the Act has been involved, before adding that
if Illinois Governor J. B.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Pritzker can't do the job, will do the job.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
The Insurrection Act of eighteen o seven allows a president
to deploy the military to suppress rebellion or civil unrest
last US during the nineteen ninety two Los Angeles riots.
Governor Pritzker sharply criticized the suggestion, calling it an unconstitutional
invasion of his state, as ICE operations continue throughout Chicago.
(12:31):
In Virginia, a top Democrat is standing by embattled Attorney
General candidate Jay Jones after his controversial text messages came
to light. Jones, the Democratic nominee, has apologized for a
twenty twenty two message referencing a hypothetical shooting of ben
House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine said the
comments were indefensible but not reflective of Jones's true character,
(12:55):
adding that he believes Jones can still serve honorably. President Trump, however,
has urged Jones to withdraw from the race, calling his
apology too little, too late. The Supreme Court is waiting
into a deeply divisive issue, so called conversion therapy. Justice
has heard arguments Tuesday in a case challenging Colorado's ban
on therapy intended to change a minor sexual orientation or
(13:18):
gender identity. Supporters of the lass A it protects LGBTQ
youth from harmful and discredited practices, but a Christian therapist
argues that ban violates her free speech and religious rights.
Nearly half of the US states currently prohibit conversion therapy
for minors, and the Court's decision could have far reaching
implications nationwide. To subscribe to my free daily newsletter, please
