and go do something. Let's getstarted. Hello, everyone, welcome to
another episode of The Keisha King Showwhere we discuss faith, culture, and
politics, all geared towards the nextgeneration. I am your host, Keisha
(00:23):
King. Yes that is Keisha witha cute While you're ready to keep down,
we have a very special episode foryou today. So we're gonna be
talking about all of the crazy stuffthe ap African American college studies. We're
(00:45):
gonna be talking about Dave Chappelle makingthe news. We're gonna be talking about
can you marry at seventy seven?Um? Yeah. We're gonna be exploring
topics and actually this is the startof expanding how we do things on The
Keisha King Show. Said, Ithink you guys are going to really love
it and getting into more topics aboutculture, faith and politics, just digging
(01:07):
a little deeper and seeing how thesethings can truly affect the next generation.
So let's get started. I amsure that all of you have already heard
about the African American ap coorse.We actually talked about it just a little
bit on the show already. Butwe're going to take an even deeper dive
because I noticed some things that Iwanted to share with you guys, so
(01:30):
you can be prepared and know exactlywhat the crazies are doing. So,
first of all, and I saidthis a long time ago, they are
going to try to paint De Santisas a racist. They're gonna do what
the left does. Are going totry to do the same thing that they
did to Donald Trump and make upthings. So we already have it.
It's already starting. They are tryingto guess, can you guess what they're
(01:52):
trying to say that De santiss shockor a racist. Yes, they're trying
to say he's a racist, homophoeabout trans but you know all the things.
But right now, the Pejorgia ofthe day is racist. So they
are saying, and particularly Benjamin Crump, who's the attorney who's always headed to
the scene, he's like an ambulancechaser. He's like black trauma ambulance chaser.
(02:20):
Um. He's already he has beento Florida, they were at the
capital causing a ruckus over nothing.And you will see this as we go
along, trying to say that DeSantiswas trying to take um, the African
Americans ape course out of trying toremove it. That is not true.
Um, But leave it to BenCrump to trying to drum up some drama.
(02:46):
That's what he did. So let'sjust take a listen to his speech
and pay attention. Do not goanywhere, because I'm going to point out
to you something very interesting that Iguarantee you other people do not know an
or anybody exterminate black history from theclouds tonight at Sex civil rights attorney Benjamin
(03:12):
Crump not mencing any words. Whenit comes to a course controversy, it
is about them. This is whatthe fight is for. These three young
people will be their lead plaintiffs.Slow Fruit, Elijah Edwards. It's one
of three plaintiffs in a possible lawsuitagainst Florida governor run the santist This is
(03:38):
a miracle, not a communist nation. I thought here in this country we
believe in the free exchange. IfI this not the suppression of it,
I don't expect much to change.And misses the sense his mind. But
he has the power to work withthe Cause board to approve the valuable curriculum
that it's so desperately needed. Soas you can see, they are using
(03:59):
this child old to advance. Listen, this is not even a real like
it's an intent to file a lawsuit. It's an intent to file a lawsuit.
It's not even a real law socume. That's how you know it's a
spectacle. They're using this kid tomake this whole spectacle that he's being denied
African American history, that he's youknow, that he's being oppressed and discriminated
(04:24):
against, when it's all a lie. But here's something that that many will
not know. So take a lookat this. This symbol is a fraternity.
So Benjamin Crump is a part ofa fraternity called a Mega sci Fi.
So it is a black Greek fraternitythat is typically you know, you
(04:46):
can be a part of, youtypically can join when you are at historically
black colleges and universities. The programis great. So what they do is
they call these these young boys Lamplighter, So they are basically it's like a
mentorship program. That's a good that'sa good thing. To have in the
(05:06):
community. That's a good thing todo. The thing is, though it
appears that this kid just comes outof nowhere, but he is wearing the
symbol that he is a He's aLamplighter. Crump is a part of the
Omegasi five. The Amega Sci fivehas this Lamplighters mentorship program. So this
(05:30):
kid that you know, it's like, oh, we don't have any you
know, I'm just this kid wasdenied. It's like, well, no,
first of all, that's not true. And why are you, if
you're his mentor, why are youtrying to put it in his head that
he was somehow denied some type ofright. That is not good leadership,
Crump, and you should not bedoing that to these kids. And that
young kid is right, we're nota communist nation. But the problem is
(05:54):
the material that they're trying to bringinto this ap African American Studies course is
communist critical race theory and queer theory. Are communists Marxist ideas this little kid
has. He doesn't know that.I guarantee you that he doesn't and he
probably doesn't really even understand. Imean, I don't want to pute thoughts
(06:17):
to put my own thoughts in hismouth. But if he understood what this
is really a bad I doubted ifhe would even really be up there.
And this is the The College Boardhas agreed to revise the studies the ap
studies program and then resubmit it again. This is being blown way out of
(06:38):
proportion. We don't want critical racetheory. We don't want queer theory.
It's banned in Florida, and it'snot. It's not it's illegal to do
so why would we want something Whywould you be pressing for something that is
against the law? All right,moving on, have you guys also heard
about this complaint from man t Countyteachers are saying that which is in Florida,
(07:02):
it's a it's a accounting in Florida. They are saying that the House
Bill fourteen sixty seven is causing themto cover up their libraries or in classroom
libraries, and they're again providing allthis spectacle over nothing. So some Manatee
(07:24):
County teachers have covered their classroom librarieswith construction paper or otherwise eliminated students' access
to make sure that they comply withthe new Florida law requiring all library books
to be approved by certified media specialistsor librarians. The Manatee County School District
directed teachers to remove all books thathad not yet been approved by a specialist
(07:44):
from their classroom libraries, Kevin Chapman, the district's chief of staff, said
Monday. Chapman said many of thebooks teachers make available to the students in
their classrooms are likely already approved throughthe district's library system, but many teachers
have closed have chosen to close accessall together, since making unvetted books available
(08:07):
could lead to felony prosecution. Thedistrict did not, however, directly advise
teachers who shut down classroom libraries andcover them up. Chapman said, So
again, they're trying to be dramatic. It is, and it's making aware
of the law because it should beagainst the law for kids to view pornography,
(08:28):
especially on taxpayers time. So whatare we going to pay for our
children to look at porn while theygo to public schools? Are you freaking
kidding me? Yes, that shouldbe against the law. And since some
teachers can't seem to understand that thatshould be against the law, that's why
we have to have these bills.Some administrators don't understand children should not be
(08:50):
looking at pornography, children should notbe introduced to certain types of materials,
certainly at certain ages. And soyes, since we had not had a
process in place, we didn't probablywe didn't think we would need to have
a process in place where adults wouldknow and understand that children don't need to
(09:11):
view sexually explicit material. Since theyseem to not be aware that that pro
that um that already law. Sonow we have to make more law and
make it more give it more teato say, hey, look, if
you show these books to kids,if you allow them in your classrooms in
your schools, then yeah, there'sgoing to be problems because kids do not
(09:33):
need to be looking at pornography.So they are making a bigger deal out
of this than it already is.So there are some teachers you can see
here, there are some teachers whoare trying to make a big spectacle out
of it and say like, oh, you know we're going to cover this,
um, the library is closed dueto Governor de santiss orders, the
(09:56):
government, the governor's orders. They'retrying to make it more of a scary
thing than a protected thing, andso teachers, why won't you just say,
hey, look, you know,we're just trying to make sure you
don't even have to do that.You could just take all the books out
for the time being until you makingsure that they are vetted and I'm talking
(10:16):
about those with that are within yourclassroom, or just you know, put
them in a bend and just getout of the children's reach until they are
vetted, or some of the onesthat you already know are good to go
leave them up there, but explainto kids, hey, we just want
to make sure that we're doing ourbest to protect you and we don't want
you explosive. I wouldn't even gothat. Depending on the age, you
(10:37):
don't even have to explain on that. You just say, hey, because
you know, we're making sure thatyou know the books are appropriate for you
guys who want to give you thebest education possible. And so yeah,
we're just gonna take a little timeto implement our due diligence and making sure
that you guys are you know,have the best books that they are going
to expand your mind and bring outyour curiosity and drive you towards a better
(11:00):
education. You see how simple thatwas, and I'm not even a teacher.
Well I'm a home school mom now, so I guess i am.
But it's not that difficult. Andif the goal was to really get kids
the best education, what is theproblem. What is really the problem?
Because the problem is truly it's notabout the books, and it's about them
(11:20):
wanting to indoctrinate these kids. Wehave a lot of activist teachers in across
America and that's the goal. That'swhy they're making a mountain out of a
mole hill. And as a mom, as a homeschool home educator, I'm
not going to apologize for not wantingkids to be shown explicit material or have
(11:43):
things like critical race theory and queertheory. I'm not going to apologize for
them for me not wanting kids tosee that. So if it takes a
little bit of extra time and ittakes some teeth in a law that says,
hey, you know, we've beenpushed to this level now and that
will be felling the charges. Okay, may not guess that's what we have
to do, but at least childrenwill be protected. Let me know what
you guys think in the comments sectionbelow. What do you think about this?
(12:05):
New Florida. Bill, I'd loveto hear your thoughts. So this
is a story that we haven't reallycovered much on The Keisha King Show,
but I wanted to talk about itbecause it's just really interesting. So,
you guys, remember that the FBIstormed into Trump's house. They ran through
all of his things. They wereeven in Melania's closet. They you know,
(12:31):
they treated this his ability. Youknow, he could he could declassify.
As the president at the time,he could declassify documents they found are
they found these documents, but hewas already in communication with the FBI that
the doctor that you know, theyknew that the documents were there, etcetera,
etcetera. You guys probably already knowthat part of the story. Well
(12:52):
it's interesting now. So Biden hasnow been found to have his own set
of Class of five documents twice.And this story here's as Rep. Cooma
reacts to National Archives blowing off Bidendocuments requests, very disappointing. Commerce as
Congress will treat Mike Pence the exactsame way we treat Biden. So Mike
(13:16):
Pence now has been found to haveclassified documents. It's just like classified documents
all over the place, and youknow, it's it is insane how they
treated Trump. But then with Bidenand Pence, different story. Here's something
that it's funny to me. WhatI find so very interesting is this idea
(13:39):
that all of a sudden, Biden'sown people are finding documents. You know,
they're and they're coming forward with findingdocuments. I think that they are
trying to get rid of Joe Biden. What do you guys think? Do
you think that they are trying toget rid of Joe Biden? Let me
know the comments section below. Ithink that they are like, the goal
(14:03):
was accomplished. Trump is not atoffice. Now it's time to get rid
of Joe. We want to makesure that he does not that he is
damaged for twenty twenty four. Whatdo you guys think now? I don't
think that they're going to try torun Kamala Harris because they know that that
would be a disaster as well.But I think they are turning on a
good old Joe. Yeah, Imean why else they have literally tried to
(14:28):
cover up and have managed to coverup every single thing that has come up
about Joe. By now all ofa sudden they can find all of these
things to accuse him of. Theycan find all of these documents, and
it's just quite studying. That goesto show you that the media literally can
(14:50):
make anyone seem the way that theywant if they can smear you with anything,
and they have that bully pulpit towhere whatever message that they want to
get out, if they keep tellingit long enough and loud enough, people
will start to believe it. Imean, why now They've had all this
time to know all of Joe Biden'sThey knew all of the stuff that was
(15:16):
going on with Joe Biden, butthey never boded to see so Pennce found
documents and reported it. Trump founddocuments and reported it. Biden, they
added documents. Nobody said a word, and the FBI kept it quiet until
they were ready to turn on him. Let's see it says. However,
attorneys for Biden found six pages ofclassified material at his Wilming Term residence,
(15:39):
and at least six more documents wereuncovered while were uncovered during a secondary secondary
search of Biden's home that was conductedFriday by the DOJ. I mean,
like, how did you guys evenknow? Like, come on, at
the Biden Pennce Center last year.They knew before the midterms. So they
knew this before the midterms, justlike like they knew about the laptop from
(16:03):
Hell before the twenty twenty election,just like they knew about Hillary's emails,
just like they knew about Clapper waslying and spying on American citizens. They
knew, and they said nothing untilthey were ready to use that information against
the American use that information against whomeverthey're trying to get rid of. What
(16:25):
do you guys think about this?Has the I mean the government in my
opinion, the government reach has goneway too far. I would love to
know what you guys think. Inthe comment section below, let me know
sorry that we're going to talk aboutI found it so funny and I wanted
to share with you guys. Ihope you can get a laugh out of
it too. So Dave Chappelle hasstarted a podcast, and of course he's
(16:47):
receiving all the backlash, but lookat how he responded. Check this out.
So it says Dave Chappelle addresses backlashas people want to take nuance out
of speech and American culture. Verytrue. I loved Chappelle. He is
one of my favorite comedians. Iactually got to see him when he was
doing The Chapelle's Show. I gotto see him in New York Alive.
(17:10):
It was a great experience. I'llnever forget it. This was years ago.
But listen to what he says.This is hilarious, so he says.
Dave Chappelle opened up about protesters athis comedy shows as he continuously faces
backlash over jokes some have labeled guestswhat they've labeled him transphobic. We know
(17:32):
during an episode of his new podcast, The Midnight Miracle, features Chappelle along
with co host Tellive Quality and Yasinebay televe Quality is He's a bracker.
The comedian release the second episode onTuesday, when he spoke specifically about the
First Avenue club in Minneapolis canceling hisshow in July due to backlash. The
(17:56):
owners canceled quote hours before he wasset to take the stage. I guess
apparently they had made a pledge tothe public at large that they would make
their club a safe space for allpeople and that they would ban anything they
deemed Transcrobeck. Chappelle explained on theepisode, this is a wild stance for
(18:18):
an artistic venue to take. It'svery true, especially one that's historically a
punk rock venue. It is veryodd for other creatives to censor creatives.
The controversy surrounded Chappelle first began afterhe released his stand up show The Closer
on Netflix in twenty twenty one.The comedian made jokes regarding transgenderism that led
(18:42):
to roughly thirty Netflix employees walking outof the Los Angeles office in protest.
Shocker. The controversy around The Closeralso contributed to the cancelation at First Avenue.
After his show was called off inJuly. Chapelle was able to move
it to the Varsity Theater. However, fans of the comedian were met with
(19:03):
large groups of protesters. Listen tothis, now, this is hilarious,
and if you know James Chappelle's voice, you can totally hear him telling the
story. Listen. It says therewere grown people of various genders and gender
identities. Chappelle recalled, they threweggs. They threw eggs at the people
who were lined up to see theshow. One lady was so mad with
(19:27):
the protesters she picked up a policebarricade. Chapelle continued, you ever seen
one They look like a bike,rack this b word, pick that barricade
by herself and threw it at thecrowd. I gotta tell you, it's
(19:47):
an amazing feat of strength for awoman. I could just hear Chappelle telling
this. I could just hear himtelling his joke, and very everybody to
me. Chappelle, who gained famefrom it for his Comedy with Chappelle show
in two thousand and three, notedthat despite the protesting, none of his
fans committed any acts of violence.When I walked on stage. It was
(20:14):
a huge ovation, because suddenly goingto see a comedy show was this huge
act of defiance. And it's crazy, right, Chappelle remembered, I don't
think anyone had any malicious intent.In fact, one of the things that
these people, the trends and theirsurrogates always say is that my jokes are
somehow going to be the root causeof some impending violence that they feel like
(20:36):
is inevitable for my jokes, hecontinued, But I gotta tell you,
as abrasive as they were the waythey were protesting, throwing as a people,
throwing barricades, barricades, cussing andscreaming, nobody beat them up.
Nobody beat him up. In fact, the people in the crowd would just
(20:56):
say, we love you, Like, what are you talking about. Chappelle
himself was a victim of violence.During a show at the Hollywood Bowl in
May twenty twenty two, a memberof the audience jumped on stage and tackled
Chappelle isaacah Lee. The suspect wascarrying a replica gun with a knife blade
inside when he attacked the comedian.Police took Fox Digital Fox News Digital.
(21:18):
He was swiftly taken away by securityand other individuals, who repeatedly hit the
man just off stage. Videos appearedto show immediately following the attack. Chappelle
remain on stage and thanks security beforejoking about the incident and describing the person
who attacked him as a trans man. In the podcast episode, Chappelle went
on to accuse the people who takeissue with his jokes of deliberately quote deliberately
(21:42):
obscuring what they believe is the intentof his work in order to make a
point that his work does not merit. Now, I have a belief that
the gay community is not monolithic,and I think that in regards to me,
that there's probably a variety of opinionsthroughout that, Chappelle said, but
(22:03):
there's a thing they do where theydeliberately obscure what I think they believe is
intent of my work to make amoment of it. And I don't know
that the work necessarily merits, youknow what I mean? He later said,
I'm not even mad that they takeissue with my work. Good,
fine, who cares? What Itake issue with is the idea that because
they don't like it, I'm notallowed to say it. And that's a
(22:23):
fact. Because this is still America. You should still you should be able
to tell a joke and not havea mob of people looking to protest you.
This is ridiculous. This is absolutelyridiculous. Chappelle further explained his idea
that the people who take issue withhis jokes are attempting to remove the nuance
from all speech in American culture.Art is a nuance endeavor. He said,
(22:47):
I have a belief that they aretrying to take the nuance out of
speech in American culture, that they'remaking people speak as if they are neither
on the right or the left.Everything seems absolute and any and I respect
is way more nuanced than these binarychoices they keep putting in front of us.
And I totally agree with that.There are many, many things that
(23:07):
are nuanced and not just these youknow, left and right choices. But
this is gonna sound like I'm contradictingto myself, but it's true. But
typically the left, they don't wantyou to have a nuanced choice. It
is do what I say and nothingelse. Do what I say, speak
(23:27):
how I speak, act how Iact, and you get and that's it.
I don't see the world in redor blue. It's just people I
agree with on some things and noton other things. It's just what it
is. And I think art isthe best place to talk about it.
(23:49):
In fact, maybe the last place. Trying to silence a person like me.
I don't think it has anything todo with being loved. Chappelle concluded,
they want to be feared if youquote, if you say this,
then we'll punish you, will come, We will come to First Avenue and
(24:11):
f your show up, and willcome to the Varsity Theater and f your
show up. And they just don'tget to do that. You don't.
You don't get to do that.And I am so happy that Chappelle is
standing up for for a freedom ofspeech. You know, you may not
like it, you know, Andas a Christian, I don't like a
lot of stuff, you know,I don't like certain things, but I
(24:33):
don't want to silence those people tobe able to say it because I don't
want somebody silencing my belief as aChristian. And so there you have it.
Is there an age limit when lookingfor love? Like I don't know,
say seventy seven. Well, DianeKeaton is looking for love at seventy
(24:56):
seven, and I just wondered,can you really find love at seventy seven?
I mean, that's just kind ofit's up there. I mean,
I'm not quite seventy seven, butI definitely do not want to be on
the market at seventy seven. Andso I was having this conversation with a
friend of mine, and so we'regoing to discuss this because I thought it
would be very valuable in line withfaith, culture, and politics all geared
(25:22):
towards a next generation. So hereto discuss this topic is my friend father
and policy analysts, Reginald Blunt.All right, So, Regina, we
were talking about this topic the otherday, and you know, Diane Keaton,
she is looking for love at seventyseven years old? And I'm like,
can you really find love at seventyseven? And more? Particularly what
(25:45):
we were talking about why it canbe hard for older women to find love.
So you had some interesting perspective,So I just wanted to share that
with the people. What do youthink, Well, I mean, everybody
can find love, so where.But what you have to understand at seventy
seven, your peer group has shrunkfrom saying your thirties from here to almost
(26:07):
here, and it's very, veryvery short. So what happens is at
that age, even if you finda man around that age group, he's
either divorced and does not want toget married again, or he is looking
for a younger woman. Yeah,and that's where you know, I understand
(26:30):
that, And that's what we see. You know, we see a lot
of these older men trotting around withthese little thirties something year olds, which
you know, I mean they're consentingadults, you know. But what you
were you were talking about mindsets anddifferent things like that. Let's share some
of that. Well, when youlook at an older guy, it's not
(26:51):
like you see a woman. Evensome women in their sixties, they're good
looking women, it has nothing todo. It looks has a lot to
do with mentality. Okay, Andguys in that age, you get to
a point to where your cruising inyour fifties, maybe in your sixties,
and somewhere and there you start towant to elevate. Most women in that
age are pretty settled and they wantto just cruise, and this guy wants,
(27:14):
you know, he wants something that'sgoing to keep pushing them up or
going on this roller coach at seventyseven. At seventy seven, if you
ever noticed, like an older man, especially when you see him on the
movie, they'll sit and they'll besettled, and then a younger woman comes
in and she just makes him feelso good and he feels so alive.
You know, remembering the Bible whenthey talked about David and he was sick,
and they said and they put ayounger woman with him, and they
(27:37):
say that David didn't jump off thatthen this guy's really knew bad and that
was Seven's biblical. They put theyounger woman with him. So so what
you're saying basically is like vitality.So if an older woman has spunk and
excitement and she still has a zestfor life then that she could possibly you
(27:59):
know, inspire um the man thatshe wants to marry, or just be
more attractive to her peer group eventhough it has shrunk than there's not many
men out there, but her beingyou know, sort of full of life
can can kind of give her moreoptions basically give her a better chance at
finding love at an older age.Right. Usually if they do find some
(28:22):
love, it'll be in a grouphome setting, like retirement homes. That's
that's the truth. I mean,usually when they find because you know,
you have males, and you havefemales in their their space of what they
want to do as limited, theymight go a little field chirps or something
and that brings it together. Butif you're like separate, you have your
own house and you're out of thesociety, where are you going to find
(28:45):
a seventy seven year old man?So I mean, well, you know
I have heard that some of theseolder like the nursing owns and like they're
still uh you know, getting itin and you know there's still there.
You know, there have been settiesthat the STD is the rates are actually
really high because they are having sex. So I mean, yeah, so
(29:07):
I don't know, gosh, butlook look at that. They're in these
home settings, but you don't seethem getting married. You don't see him
like wanting to come out and haveThey usually still in the home environment.
They're still in that setting. Rarelydo you see them actually getting married and
moving out of that. They're prettymuch settling in where they're at. And
I mean that's where they're at.But I mean, you're okay, you're
(29:30):
seventy seven year old woman, I'mlooking for love. Where are you going
to look? Two places very shortthat a man is on his own at
seventy seven are the graveyard. SoI mean, at the end of the
day, you know, what wouldyou suggest for women to to do?
(29:52):
What are some what are some whatare some helpful tactics? I guess that
older women can do. Here here'swhat I'm going give you a secret.
And this this is on men,because we can be so fickle sometimes with
the woman, whether she's in herforties, fifties, sixty seventies. With
men, no matter what you givethem and how you give it to him,
(30:15):
you have to always make him thinkthat there's always more to come,
because if you get too settled andcomplacent. Then all the vitality goes out,
but you know, psychologic and youcan make him think, oh,
it's more to come, and he'skind of enthusiastic about that. I mean,
that's that's real. Yeah. Butwhen they get settled and they kind
(30:36):
of just are in cruise, eventually, you know he's gonna want to come
into some rising and up. Andthat's where a lot of times with the
younger women, they see that becauseshe's enthusiastic and he's like, he might
not be that enthusiasm, but he'shis spirit is like, wow, okay,
this is fun. Yeah I dowant to go here. Well yeah,
let's let's go to the water park. You know, she's bringing that
out in them. And a lotof times the older women, they're more
(30:59):
settled, want to you know,sit on the pool side. Yeah,
you know, pick some daisies.They want a little picnic with a little
ride, and that can be I'mnot saying that that's the rule, but
normally what happens is when they're intothat, this guy's looking for something that's
going to give him some life.Yeah, some life and some vitality.
(31:19):
Um yeah, I can understand that, especially you know, he's probably thinking
about his last days. He's probablythinking about you know what, you know,
what what what that's gonna look like? And you know, life is
meant to live and h you know, I totally can relate to that,
and so as myself as I amon my journey, you know, intentionally
(31:41):
to hope, prayerfully be married wellbefore seventy seven. Lord, please,
then you know I will keep thatin mind, and all of you ladies
who are watching out there keep thatin mind too, that you know,
keep your liveliness, keep your excitement, keep your keep your vitality, because
(32:02):
I bet you that remembering the spiritof life and that it's meant to be
lived and all those exciting things,I bet that will help you as well,
and it will uplift your own spirits. So thank you very much,
bro, this excellent wisdom on thistopic. Okay, so you guys know
that I have been really interested inthis Stephen Crowder Daily Wire Stop Big con
(32:30):
Um story because you know, likeI said, I used to be in
the music industry. The contracts werebad then, and this just reminded me
of that same thing. And thelast thing that we want to do is
have bad contracts, bad dealings,bad bad business brought over to the conservative
movement. That's the last thing weneed, so last thing we want.
(32:52):
UM. Like I've always said,I understand, you know, you should
do business well as as a businessowner, and then I understand also as
a creative person that you want tohave UM, that the business needs to
make sense for you and you don'twant your art to be taken advantage of.
And so I wanted to finish outUM. I've been been watching a
(33:16):
lot of attorneys. I've been watchingtheir takes on the Stephen Crowder Daily Wire's
situation and one m one YouTube channelthat I stumbled upon just in listening to
different people I found to be veryinsightful. So I'm just going to play
a few clips of it and givemy commentary. But I want you guys
(33:39):
to hear from an attorney or actuallyhe hasn't passed the bar yet and other
people are well, then who's notreally time, but he is studying to
be an attorney, and you knowif he had been. But I've heard
several takes from actual practice sing attorneyswho had the same view, but his
(34:01):
was just a lot more entertaining.Thus that's why I'm showing it to you.
So the YouTube channel is called nightsWatch. I'm not sure even what
other types of content that they do. I found his takes on this topic
to be on points. I wantedto share it with you guys on sick
look, leave it or not.I actually have a lot to say regarding
the recent controversy between Stephen Crowder andThe Daily Wire. If you're a bit
(34:25):
out of the loop here, StephenCrowder recently made a video criticizing big Conservative,
specifically in certain types of contractual termsthat seem to more support big tech
and the censorship. And he wasgiving example from a certain contract and it
seemed, you know, ever thatI think, yes, Crowder has had
(34:50):
perfect valid ride to take issue withhad the interesting thing, because I will
be looking at Jeremy's video here isJeremy basically acknowledges this, okay? Is
that um, he said that theywould have negotiated differently. He was expecting
negotiation negotiate differently, which means heknew the contractual terms in that contract were
unfair. And this is the thingthat pisses me off so much because it's
(35:14):
a common thing in business standard businesspractices is that usually one side is perfectly
happy to take advantage of another ifthey can get away with it, which
seems to be the standard business practice. And this is the scummy thing that
I can't stand about this, right, if Crowder signed that contract without any
differences and anything like that, thereality is Daily Wire would have taken that
(35:36):
as a win mostly. And thatwas the thing, you know, they
tried to make such a distinction betweenit was a it was a it was
a it was a term sheet,it was not a contract. But if
he would have signed the term sheet, those exact terms would have been made
into a full contract and they wouldnot have made it wouldn't have made a
difference. It was still something thathe would have had to agree to.
(35:58):
The term sheet. It was stillan agreement, and still it's not a
contract by every definition of the word. But that certainly could have been turned
into a contract. So it's likeit's a distinguished without a difference businesses would
And that is wrong, okay,because he acknowledges at the end of his
video that the contract was loy bawlinghim, that they would have paid him
(36:21):
more, and that he was expectingto negotiate differently, and that's not a
good faith proposal, especially to afriend. Okay, if you're dealing with
if you're dealing with anyone, youknow, And that's another thing, you
know, I was so crazy andspeaking me nuts about how people were like,
how could Stephen Crowder record him?That's his friend? Well, how
could you lowball your friend who youknow does incredible work or who you you
(36:44):
know? He says, how youknow, Boring just goes on and on
uno about how much he respects Crowderand he just loves his work. And
you know, I think he's likethe most brilliant, he's the best talented
enough, he just you know,on and on and on about how great
he is. But he's like,yeah, I'm gonna give you this low
ball contract. But we're friends,you know, so I can do you
(37:04):
dirty, but you can't. Youknow what people would they do him dirty
with recording him. So I'm notsaying and I you know, I am
kind of uneasy about the whole recordingthing. But don't act like you know,
Boring was just all on the upand up, because if you would
have signed it, you would haveyou wouldn't have pushed back of even despite
(37:27):
all of you know, how muchtalent you said he had, and all
this, you would have led himsign it, or you would not have
proposed him to sign again. Youwould have went on about your day,
not even just friends. Your proposalshould all like the way I do it
best, you know, proposal,best case proposal. And and I've learned
this the hard way because I've realizedour TV and before there was interesting thing
(37:51):
I Daily wise one of the onlylike independent conservative kind of outlets that are
making film and stuff. And Iwish there were more people doing it.
But fairly odds, honestly, itwould be great if you know, to
be able to work with them toproduce something in the future with my properties.
I'm an author and all that stuff, so I possible and strikes and
things and term sheet. We sentit over and we asked if we could
(38:14):
get on the phone and have aconversation with Stephen. And look, I'm
not saying that having different views onwhat this standard market value is is wrong,
Okay, other things, we weretalking about sixty plus million plus we
knew he was going to negotiate,so you're probably talking about seventy seventy five
million. Again. Another acknowledgement thatthey knew that what the offer that they
(38:35):
gave him was dog crap. Well, like, we know we're gonna make
the fifty million back just on youknow, sponsorship, So like we can,
we can go up to seventy millionand would be perfectly fine. Like
he acknowledges that they would have beenwilling to negotiate up to seventy million,
And they lowballed him by thirty milliondollars And it was a fair good contract.
(39:00):
Allions, infrastructure plus marketing at leastone hundredllion dollars would have ended up
spending over the next four years.Well, how are we gonna pay for
all of that? He was atleast he was expecting it to double.
(39:21):
Oh gosh, So dude, thisdoes not make you look good. Holy
crap. One way is we're gonnasell ads on all this content. And
you know this is how we handleall of our shows, all right.
He has to item be crowded,will read the ad copy and promos as
(39:43):
requested by us, though he'll havecertain rights to disapprove of some ad sponsors.
I need a drink. This isto get you thought I was gonna
do alcohol. I'm a good Mormonboy. The remuneration for that's already included
in the in the feed. Sohang On says daily while it will maintain
(40:07):
the right to create crowd and crowdof content branded merchandise all erasing, it
does not say that that ends atthe end of the contract any actual fact,
that wording implies exclusive right to createand sell crowd and crowd of branded
merchandising right. Because it says maintain, that implies they will maintain this after
(40:28):
the contract is ended, and Crowderwould not have the right to sell merchandising
on his own brand after the contract. Because it's exclusive, they would maintain
the exclusive right to sell Crowder andCrowd of branded merchandising maintain, meaning after
the four year contract, and becauseas if exclusive, he would not be
(40:49):
able to sell any crowd of basedmerchandising. Are you figuring? Insane?
Are you inshing? Yeah? Sothis guy is super, super funny,
and a lot of things that peopledon't realize is that the production costs would
have been included in the fee inhis fifty million dollars over four years,
so it would have come out ofthat twelve million dollar budget. One episode
(41:13):
of Change My Mind costs fifty thousanddollars. According to Krodo when he was
on Tim Pool and another thing,they were saying that, oh, this
one hundred and he would only workbasically like four days out of the week.
Well that does not include you can'tjust take camera time. He has
to this preproduction, post production andall the editing. Editing takes a ton
(41:37):
of time, trust me, Iknow, which is why it's been so
hard for me to create constients.So hey, if you guys want to
donate to help me out, youknow, we have T shirts, the
Mass Exist t shirts and also youcan donate to my cash app or we
I am going to be setting upa patreons. You can help me out
(42:00):
there because it's stuff. Really,it takes a lot of time, and
it takes um, you know,a lot of energy, and I'm trying
to do I'm a single parent,I'm homeschooling. I have a job that
I you know, I have.It's not quite full time, but it's
a pretty demanding job as well.And so and also I'm trying to produce
this content so you guys can getup to date information on what is going
(42:23):
on on faith, family, culture, and politics. So it takes a
lot of time. That's the point. But if you want to help your
assist it out, please, um, I'm open to that. But these
it doesn't just it's not just acamera time, you know. It's not
just that you have to book guests. You have to There's a lot that
(42:44):
goes into it. And then allremuneration for this right to sell exclusively,
it is right to maintain and sellexclusively. All remuneration is it is in
included in the field this is thisis like this we give us your soul.
(43:10):
That they might say this was amistake or anything like, but the
wording really implies that here, holycrap. Gat So this is one of
the things that I was going tomention um would come up. So there
is basically it's a noncomplete cause,total exclusivity for all kinds of content in
(43:30):
all media, throughout the terms andall kinds of content. And hell okay,
like this is one of the morestandard business things, a noncomplete cause
um that sometimes I can see apurpose for, and sometimes I think goes
way too far. So let's takea look at a little of what Stephen
Crowder said out. Let's get fromhis own words what he was thinking,
(43:53):
and you know, let's let's givesome commentary on that. We're hanging out
with Stephen Crowder and Gerald of courseat the business side more i'tally I don't
really take care of the finances asmuch, but it's the story. Well,
first off, let me let meset something up off the bat.
I want to make you everyone hereknows, like I know that you guys
have made very clear that you're monetizedon YouTube because you believe that you can
fight against big tech by sort ofoperating to some degree within the rules.
(44:15):
But you've been very transparent about it, and so I don't want you to
think that that is at all thesame as what I have a problem with.
And I mean, we can goback to a few things. Look,
it really comes down to what's right. It really comes down to what
the truth is. And this isthem. It's been a long time coming.
Gerald actually came on a CEO becausewe're being battered around so long.
This say is this is years andyears in the making. I get the
(44:35):
point with corporate media. The issuethat I have with many in the conservative
side of this sphere is is thefundamental misleading into honesty. That's what I'm
a problem with. And you seethat here as a story took place.
Um kind of a started right wherewhen we release this fit and let me
express to you all so heavily.It's not just in the meeting a side.
(45:00):
It's in the political side as well. You have these Republicans who go
out and they say these things.They get your vote, they get your
donations, and then they go tooffice and they don't advocate for conservative values.
They do not. And then thosewho are calling it out we are
(45:21):
the ones that get criticized and saying, oh, well, why are you
causing so much division? Just belike the Democrats and stick together. Well,
I don't believe in that. Ireject that that we have to side
with these jellyback Week won't stand upfor conservative principles. We have to align
(45:43):
ourselves with them just because they haveit are by their name. No,
I left the Democrats because I didnot want a country that we look like
a community. I didn't want thetyranny. So then what I don't want
to sacrifice that on the rights.I don't understand. It's like the new
A lot of us knew people.I know for myself, mostly for myself,
(46:05):
Why would I leave the democrats,because I see the values and the
principles on the right as something thatis worth fighting for. To then be
silent when those who were supposed tobe going forth and fighting those things,
when they don't do that, whywould It doesn't make any sense for conservatives
to not demand that you go andyou fight for conservative values. That's literally
(46:32):
why we're sending you to office.And so it's not just in media.
This is a problem up and downthe Republican Party video. We didn't and
it was just my design didn't namenames because there could be a litany of
(46:52):
contracts that are similar to this.A lot of them are often verbal offers.
We mentioned it could have been FoxNews probably when I knew it,
and they're the corporate monelis there's youknow, four or five I would say,
we have four or five offers,and then there are other investors who
come into the space who just wantto dump in a whole bunch of money,
you know, Daily Wire here outof themselves. And I understand the
people are saying, well, peopleknew who it was. That's because some
(47:14):
of the people who are under thosecontracts said, yeah, I recognize those
contracts, and Canda said on thisshow. I recognize the terms from my
contract. Here's the thing I said, this is wrong penalizing conservatives and I
believe this to my absolute core.Penalizing conservatives on behalf of big tech while
taking money from people who are payingyou, investing in you to fight big
tech. That is what they're investingin. That is what mud Club is
(47:36):
investing in, That's what subscribers areinvesting in. Well, simultaneously penalizing conservatives
is fundamentally wrong. I have thatcontract. That is right. Ten is
so right. If you are penalizingconservatives for being conservative, while you're saying,
hey, we're standing up for conservatives, be transparent. Just be transparent
and say, look, we beliked in polls saying yeah we have we
(48:00):
are going to allow these types ofthings. We are not going to allow
these types of things because this isthe type of show that we want to
create. We just say that Jimstill does well and he's you know,
you can still do that, butjust be honest and in wrapping this up,
and I don't want to just takeit too much longer, but I
just want to give a final wordon this that as conservatives, we we
(48:22):
have to maintain a standard. Now, I'm not saying none of us are
perfect. We all have you know, done things that do not live.
I will speak for myself. Iam a sinner saved by grace. I
am a sinner saved by grace.And you know, I am grateful for
Christ that he gives us an opportunityto have salvation. Because we are fallen.
(48:47):
We do not live up to thethings that we know we should at
times, and I am fully awareof that. And I'm not saying that
I need every politician to do exactlywhat I told him, you know,
if to follow conservatism to a tor to follow I don't expect perfection,
but you know, transparency, Yes, yeah, I would appreciate that.
(49:10):
And so let me know what youguys think in the comment section below.
Again, this is a new waythat we're going to be doing the show,
and they're going to be some newthings coming along. I am so
excited to be sharing with you aswe grow this channel, as we grow
this movement, as we grow theconservative movement, and I am excited to

(49:55):
things with fashion tips and tricks onhow you can see money, you

You know, we are making surethat we are taking care of our
families. And also, of course, which is the fundamental thing that we
are fighting for, is our Christianvalues faith, our faith, because that
(50:17):
is the thing that is going tobe able to sustain us when things get
really really tough, you know,in life, and Christ is our only
hope. He is our only hopeand we can rest in him. And
