  Speaker 1: You're a human being. You know, you have emotions, Um
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you want to communicate them emotions, you know, and trying
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to find the best way to communicate. How have you
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: been coping with the aftermath of everything? Just just just emotionally,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: just you as a human. I've been just in a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: room for a while, you know, a lot of thoughts
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and luckily, you know, you have people around that you
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: kind of outside ideas. But it just been you know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this for such a long time, and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you nothing like this ever happened, you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: so it just kind of like you just kind of
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: figuring out and at the end of the day, like
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: these fans of your family, so you just feel like
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you lost lost something and you just like you go,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you do these shows honestly to you know, for people
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: to have the best experience, you know, and just to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: think to something like this happened. You just trying to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: figure out you know, you know, just wrap everything around.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: And so even just for the first couple a couple
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of weeks, you know, it was just me sitting down,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: but I had to really channel these emotions to just remember, like,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you know, if no one's gonna be a voice to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: these people, I gotta like kind of step up and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: kind of like be a voice to just figure out
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that you know, this isn't happened in the future, to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: show is period, you know what I'm saying, or figure
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: out the bottom solution of what's going on, and just
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: trying to ensure as people, you know, safety and what
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: they're doing. You know, you said you was in the room,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: but then people saw you at the golf course, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan, Mark Wahlberg, what what was that? Um?
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It was just Thanksgiving, um, you know, and they were there.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just good people to have around in
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the community, and you know that was just more like
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a personal time, just trying to get around. I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like some fan came and asked for a photo. But yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: let's talk about that night. Man. When when did when
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: did you find out things got as bad as they did? That?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: That's the question everybody wants to go. Yeah, it wasn't
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: really until like minutes until like the press conference, until
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I figured out exactly what happened. You know, um, even
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: after the show, you know, you're just kind of hearing
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: hearing things, but you don't know. I didn't know the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: exact details until you know, minutes before the press conference.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: And even at that moment you kind of just like wait,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you know what, Like you know, you just went through
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: something and it's just like wait what you know, So
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you didn't know people that actually passed away until minutes before,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you know, which is you know, and at the thing,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, people pass out, you know people,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: you know, things happen at concerts, but something like that,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, people said they are collectively, they
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: collectively heard folks scream and help every time you stop
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the song to get your attention, did you did you
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: hear any of those screams, nah man. And you know
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: it's so crazy because I'm not I'm not artist too, Like,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you know, anytime you can hear something like that, you
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: want to stop the show. You want to make sure,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you know, fans get the property and they need you know,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And anytime I could see anything like that, I did,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, I stopped like a couple of
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: times to just make sure everybody was okay, and I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just really just go off the you know, the fans
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: energy as a collective, you know, call a response. And
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I just didn't. I just didn't hear that. You know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I got music, I got my inears, but I just didn't.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I just didn't hear that. You know, break that down
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a little more like Nope, nobody knows what it's like
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: being on stage except for other artists who speak to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: us from that perspective of what you can see in here.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It was like fifty thousand people. Yeah, I mean you
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: got like a view, you know, feel like fifty thousand people.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: But it's like a see, you got lights, you got sound,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you got pyro, you got you know, you got your inears,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: got your sound, got your mic, you know, got the music,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: You got bands, all type of you know, stuff going on,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: so it's it's hard to tell excitement from from from
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: dangerous or to speak of course, everything kind of just
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: sounds the same. And at the end of the day,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you just hear music, you know, and when you do,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you just hear amongks of things. You know, but you
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: just when you're in the show, you just into the show.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And anytime you can feel anything closely, you know, you
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: try to like definitely get to that. So so as
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: an artist, how much can you actually, I guess help
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: in that position. You can only help what you can see,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And then what you know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: whatever you's told, you know what I'm saying. Whenever it
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: somebody tell you to stop, you just stop. But just
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't it was It wasn't that night, huh. You know, raging.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Raging has been a part of the culture, you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of your shows. You know you didn't on this night,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: but in the past you've encouraged I guess the kind
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: of energy that could have led to something like this happening.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Do you think that contributed to the energy of this night? Yeah, nah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I think you know, It's something I've been working on
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you know, for a while, um of just creating these
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: experiences and trying to show like the experiences happening in
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: a safe environment. You know, us as artists, we trust
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you know, professionals to make sure that you know, things
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: happen to people leave you safely, you know what I'm saying. Um.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: And it's not just like a regular show. You know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: it felt like to me um as far as like
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you know, the energy people, it didn't feel like it
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was like you know, people didn't I don't people didn't
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: show up there to just be harmful people just I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: think showed up to have a good time. And then
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you know, something unfortunate happened, and I think we really
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: just got to figure out, you know what that was.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: You know, does raging make it harder to identify when
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: something is going wrong in the crowd? Well, I think
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: raging is just a you know, they have a textbook,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you know definition. But you know, in the concerts and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: we've grown it to be just experience of having fun.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: It's not about just oh, harm, It's not about that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It's about just letting go and having fun. You know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: help others, no, love each other. It's not about just
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: you know, harm. That's not what it's all about. The
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: show isn't just rambunctious for hour. You know, that's not
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: what it is. Oh, trust me, I grew up on crunk,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: so you know I understand. You know, you just don't
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: you don't want it to get two out of hand. Yeah,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: but you know the code. You know, the energy is high,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and you know, and that's why you want
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: to just make sure that, you know, people are surrounded
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: to make sure that people are just having the best experience.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, I can't say
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the energy is high, but you know you want to
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: make sure that people are there for people to have
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: like the best experience in league. Yeah, you want people
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to have a good time. You want people to get
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: hurt at all. Yeah. Yeah, and God forbid passed away.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And you know it's typical for you to stop a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: show to make sure fans in the crowd get to help,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you know, they need They even footage of that night
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: of you doing that during the set where you unable
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to sense like a difference in urgency this time around,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because you know, you stop the show,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: but you know, you know, if someone's gonna happen. If
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it's something detrimental, somebody's gonna let you know, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: or you know, the show just stop them. And you
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: know that just wasn't the case. You know, I just
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: kind of stop the show. You know, you just asked.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: You have a call of re sponsor the fans. Um
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you try to, you know, generally get a response, but
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: you know, if you don't get like a hard stop,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just you can't. You just don't. You
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: just go off of what's going on, you know, which
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: makes it so like so crazy because like, you know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: if I feel like, if you know, anyone wouldn't know
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: and it would have just been like it wouldn't have
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: gotten far, you know. All Right, we got more with
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Travis Scott and Charlemagne there one on one conversation, so
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne the guy we are
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Now if he's just joining us, we're
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: playing a one on one interview with Travis Scott and Charlemagne.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Travis Scott and Charlemagne spoke yesterday, so we're getting that
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: back on this morning. Yeah, we chopped it up yesterday,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you know. Um and you know, as you can see
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: if you've been listening, he's being very open about the situation.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: But at Afterworld in Houston, Texas, the tragedy that happened
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: on November fifth at after World and US in Texas.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: But you can you can see his brain, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: going on just how to make sure this never happens again.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: But you know, keep listening, all right, and here's part two.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning. What headspace were you
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: when you posted that that initial that initial response video.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it was I think it has to been
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the night of you know, Um, so I was just
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: in a headspace of just trying to get a communication
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: out to my fans, you know, and I had literally
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: no information, you know, so I was just trying to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: figure it out and just communicate to them. You know. Yeah.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I was just reacting, just literally just to get something
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to the fans. You know, there's people that showed up.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Do you regret that initial video? Do you regret reacting
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: in that way or not, like not having all the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: information before you said something. I mean yeah, because you know,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you just don't know what's going on. But at the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: end of the day. I don't, you know, I just
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to get something out, you know, how my messages
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: came out, I can't you know, I can only go
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: off for that, you know what I know. But my
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Truman titches of it, you know, was really just trying
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to get a message across. And you know, I really
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to just touch the fans, touching the families. You
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: know that we here, we're grieving and we would get
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: through this, you know, through this process. So what did
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you know in that first video? I mean at that time,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I think we just knew that you know, people passed,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you know, Um, we didn't know how you know that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it was you know the news. You know, I think
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: police came out and said something. Um, you know, you're
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: just going off of what you're seeing in the in
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the in the news. You know, you don't really know nothing.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And then as it did go on, you started collecting
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit more information. They said there was they
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: would like chaos and trampling being reported since the early afternoon,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: like like hours before the show even started. Were you
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: informed of any of that ahead of time? Well? No,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: like um and um, you know the police he came
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: he came in um to my trailer and you know
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: he congratulated me on you know, the event and you know,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: having something like this in Houston. You let me know
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: that this it was, you know, mishap at the merged
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: booth earlier. You know they shut it down with they
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: opened it back up. They she even got it under control.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You know, he was gonna step out and just let
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: us know if we need anything, you know, have a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: good show. That was it. You know a lot of
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the criticism, you know from the tragedy they say is
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and the poor planning and understaffing of the end of
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the event. As an artist, that you have any involvement
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: in any of that, well, I mean we just as
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: an artist, you just do the creative and for this
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to be my festival, you know, I got you know,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: bring artists you know, creatively produce it and you know
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: we're just trusting you know, the professionals to kind of
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: just make sure that you know, people you know taking
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: care of and you know, leaving safely. You know, I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: just can control what I can on the stage and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: then you know you have the professionals control what they
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: can in the crowd. You know, it's just hard because
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: as an artist, you know, you want to have like
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the best shows and you want to have the best experiences,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and you you know, you link with professionals to handle
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: that side of it, you know, and you know you
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: want to know what's going on. I think that's what
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we got to figure out, you know, and figure out
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: what happened there, how that happened. You know, you spoke
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: on the Houston Police chief. His name is that Troy Finna.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: He came to you and he said he voiced concerns
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: over the crowd energy. So what did you on your
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: team like do with that information. Well, I think that's
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: what the media. Um, I think that's what the media said.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: But I think I think it read too more so
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: that he wanted us to He knew that our crowd was,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the type of crowd that comes it comes
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to a heavy crowd. So to communicate with him if
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: we were doing anything outside of the week's itinerary, you know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: um that week we were doing like a lot of
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: charity stuff prior to the festival, so you know the
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: security at most of the events. But you know, he
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: was just letting us, you know, I guess in that statement,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: he was just saying, if we do anything outside of
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: what we had on our itinerary, let him know. But
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't even get to that point. You know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, just you know, being a kicking it with
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you for a little bit, Like I can see that
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: you know, this is Wayne real heavy on it. Yeah. So,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: so how much do you feel a sense of responsibility
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: for what happened at night? Well, you know, fans come
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: to have a come to the show and have a
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: good experience, you know, Um, and I have a responsibility
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: to figure out what happened here. I have a responsibility
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: to figure out the solution. And hopefully this takes the
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: first step into you know, us as artists, you know,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: having that more insight of what's going on. You know
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Um, the professionals to kind of you know,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: surround and figure out more of an intel, whether it's tech,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: whether it's you know, more of a response, whether it's
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: whatever the problem is, you know, UM, to figure out
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: that in the future and moving forward in concert safety,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: make sure it just never happened again. You know. But
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: let's talk about those professionals, like how much how much
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: responsibility do you think like Live Nation and score more.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: The promoters having all of this, I mean, they do
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: their job of you know, setting these things up. So
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I mean I think they when we dial into what
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: you know, specifically happen here, I feel like, you know,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: even they can kind of help, you know, figure out
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: what happened in the sense um you know. But at
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I think collectively everyone needs
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: to just figure out the bottom line solution. But you know,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: especially in concert safety, you know, definitely got to have
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: you know, make sure that you know these things are
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: you know, done right. You think he's afestival are too
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: big man, pifty dollars people with a lot of people
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: for anybody to their festivals that are bigger, you know,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: way bigger, And you know, I just think it's not
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: about the maximum of it. I think it's about the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: attension to what's going on and how it's going on.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: And as long as that's handle, I feel like things
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: can be you know, can go okay, We'll be okay,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: you know. But if you look at it through the
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: history of festivals, you know, um, this isn't the first
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: time happening. It's been a long history of this, you know.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: So I feel like if you look at the overall
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you know, view of that, and you kind of like dolling, Okay,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: what can we do better to fix this overall for
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: general concert safety? I think we figure out the problem,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: you know, um and make it better for people to
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: have better live experiences. Live Nation reportedly agreed to end
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: the concert early after the Houston PD and the Fire
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Department declared it a match casualty event, but the concert
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: continued for another forty minutes. Was there any ever any
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: communication to you on stage that you should in this? Well? Yeah,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I mean it just told me right after you know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the guests can get off stage, you know, we're gonna
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: end the show, you know, and that's what we did.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: No other than that, there was no other communication, you know,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: so after after the guests what you mean, Yeah, after
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the guests comes out, okay, we're gonna we're gonna end
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: the show. But it wasn't a communication on why, you know.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: It was just you know, that's what came through my ears,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: you know, So they didn't say stopping. Now, know. Wow,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: you feel like people are forcing more responsibility on you
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: because you are the front man, because it was astral World.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, you know, I'm gonna you know,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I'm the face of the festival. You know, I'm an artist,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: you know. UM, so yeah, you know, the media is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they yeah, they want to you know, put
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: it on me, and but at the end of the day,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: it's like, I don't think it's more so about that.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's more so about um stepping up to
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: figure out what the problem is. And I could take that.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I could take you know, stepping up to figure out
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: what the problem is. I could take stepping into figuring
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: out the solution that had never happened again, because that's
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: what I generally want to do in general, even just
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: for my community. You know. The whole idea for why
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I brought this festival to the city was to you know,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: show that Houston is something different, you know, and show
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: that there's all different types of lives, is all different
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: type of energy, and just bring that morale to the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: city and just bring that energy to the city. So
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to you know, step in to figure out,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: you know, how can we fix this in the future,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: what can we do to you know, change these things.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: You know, do you feel like you did everything you
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: possibly could to help in that situation? Yes, Yes, anything
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I physically care for sure, yes, and it just you know,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: if knowing you know what's going on, you know, you
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: would just wish, you know, if you you know, couldn't
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: something better, you know. But standing there, all right, we

• 46:55
  Speaker 1: they're grieving right now and finally understanding right now and
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not just like a right now thing.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: It's for everything. UM. And these people that came to
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: the show, they are my family. And I've always had
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: that connection to the people. I feel like they listen
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to the music or it came to my shows, and
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: that's why I really, you know, it's really hard on
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: me even just you know, t even like you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and even because you know they ended up, they they
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: they lost they lost their loved ones, you know, so
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: it you know, it's it's tough. UM. I just want
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to always just be there for them and just always
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: just be able to just know that I'm gonna fix this.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: For the future people, you know, and and fix this solution.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Um and fix this problem, I mean, you know, um,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: and find a solution to making sure that this doesn't
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: happen in the future. UM, and definitely be a number
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: one of voice for this. You know. I feel like
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: that's like one of the what we what we got
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: to figure out because other than that, it's like, you know,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: the show goes on tomorrow or you know, something goes
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: How does it? How does this get fixed? This could
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: happen again, just happened before. Yeah, yeah, you're you're you're
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a father, you know, God forbid when your kids are
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: of age, if they're in a situation like this, you
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: know what you do put yourself in those parents shoes
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: right now? What would what would you want to see
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: come of this situation? If you I want to see
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: people put their heads together. I would want to see
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: people really figure this out, not take this lightly, you know, um,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: and really act on it. And that's you know, that's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: one of the main things that's important. I feel like
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: they gotta just act on it. It can't just be
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: like something that happens and it just roll over. We
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: got to be something that's taken serious. And address seriously
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: and things formed around it. Time and a lot of
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of time and a lot of you know,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: thinking power is spent on this, you know, and really
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: fixing you know, whatever system it just needs to be fixed,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: you know, from the lawsuits to the media coverage to
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: do Do you feel like you're personally under attack? I mean,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean you see a name in
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: it and it and it's like but you know, at
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, you step in these you know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you step you want to do a festival, and you
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: know when we want to do things and you want
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to build up. You know, it comes with certain things, right,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: So I think it's all about how you respond to it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: And I think it's all about how you react, right
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: So I could feel that way, but I think more
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: so about it's more about how I feel about the
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: response that I that I that I'm that I care
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: about more so, which is you know, actually, you know,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: trying to step in and you know, really step up
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: to really fixing what's happening and and really step up
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: for the safety or concert cours or people in just
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: live spaces period. I wonder, I wonder is there a
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: way to even prepare for this because nobody, like you said,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: when you're doing the planning for a show like this,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: nobody is planning for this to happen. So how do
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: you how do you even prepare for something like this
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: step I don't know. And I feel like when we
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: get I feel like, when it comes out a little
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: bit more how this could have happened. I feel like
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: that's how we can kind of attack that. But even
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I was thinking in ways like tech solutions. You know,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: people come into these festivals with these bands that only
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: scan you in right, you have you know, we have
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: all type of tech now that can track your heart
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: contract your you know, oxygen levels, contracting, the sick. You
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: can put things now if you're gonna be you know,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: get lost. It's all type of ways now, like that
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: can be the band that only gets you access to
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: entry or to the food line or two food trucks
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: can now be solvable to helping save lives, you know,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: can now be more of a response to people that
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: are now on site and on ground. Um, I feel
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: like that could be a way, or you know, even
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: just figuring out what the exact solution, what the exact
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: problem of it was, and dialing more into that. I
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: think you can kind of. I feel like there is
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: a way. I just think it needs to be time
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: spent on figuring that figuring that out. Have you been
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: able to have any personal conversations with any of the
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: families who lost levels? I was able to, Um, But
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I just want to just respect that, you know,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the privacy of the conversation. And I'm thankful for them
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: for even allowing me to have the conversation. Yeah, how
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: did you feel when some of the families rejected your
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: offer to pay for the funerals? All things are understandable,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, at the time, they're grieving and they're
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: trying to find understanding, and you know, they want answers,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: and it's not about it's not about that, you know. UM,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I'm always gonna be here, you know, to want to
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: help them, you know what I'm saying, And and it's
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna you know, I gotta continue to show
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: up for that, you know. UM, I just wanted to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: make sure that they knew that I was there for them,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and continue to be there
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: for them. UM. I think that's just more so what
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: it's about for that Um yeah, some people say, um,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: your your your music played a role in this, Like
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I've seen them, you know, cite lyrics, you know that
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: encouraged just kind of behavior. I've seen him say your
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: music is demonic and this was a satanic ritual. You
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: think your music is to blame? I mean no, I'm
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I mean why, I'm a man of God. So that's
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: the first thing first, and um, you know, so it's
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: just yeah, that's that. And you know your music is
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: just like self expression, you know I'm saying. And at
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: these shows, I feel like people kind of like look
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: at things. And if you've been the Travis Show, it's
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: it's been different layers of shows. You know. I think
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: people are just you know, misconceptions and taking these seeing
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: and you know all type of things. You know. Um,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: and I've I've I've took pride in trying to you know,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: grow from where I was when I first recorded music
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: to now where I'm going in music. Um So yeah,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I just think people gotta and and that's one thing
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: with me is just people gotta kind of you know,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: experience it sometimes. And I think that's what it was.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: You know, people were kind of like even before people
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: were hearing about it, they come and experience it and
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: taking away their own thing. And it's always going to
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: be an outside opinion. But you know, for the ones
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: that you know really believe in me and you know
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: understand what. You know, what I'm about and what I'm doing. No,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: that's not That's not what I'm you know, preaching. I
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: always preach like love, always preach you understanding. I always preach,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: you know, take care of your loved ones. Love each other.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Get out your ideas, never
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: let never let yourselves be stop, you know, love one
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: another and step into that, you know. I mean, I
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: think that's a part of it. But the music does
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: encourage people to be violent at these shows. I mean,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what the rage is about. I mean,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: most of the music is its me sometimes talking about
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: what I see at the shows, you know what I mean.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: If I'm talking about the shows, you know, and so
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: it's just that's just you know, the energy, you know
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But the energy isn't to come and start,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know, being ultra violent and just being violent and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: hurting each other. That's not That's not what it's about,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: all right, that's part three of the conversation and one
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: on one conversation with Charlemagne and Travis Scott and I
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: don't move. We got more coming up. I usually we
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: do rumors, but this is, uh, this is more important
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: this morning, so don't move. It's the Breakfast clubal morning parting.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy and Charlemagne the guy. We are
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Now if he's just joining us, where
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: playing back Charlomagne's one on one conversation with Travis Scott. Yeah,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: we sat. I sat down with Travis Scott to you know,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: discuss the tragedy that happened on November fifth at after
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: World in Houston, Texas. You know, clearly not the easy conversation,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and you know he wants to discuss how he can
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: help make sure this never happens again, which he doesn't
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: even know what that looks like yet. But here's the conversation, right,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll take some calls after this. Eight hundred five
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: eight five one five one. It's the Breakfast Club. His
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: part four, you said you're a man of God. And
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: when I even said that, you know they say your
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: music in Satanic. I saw the face that you made.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you think that even comes
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: from Travis Scott is Satan and Travis scottis. I just
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: think it's just things people collect. You know, people look
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: at the Internet and they just collect and they look
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: at things, and they look at visuals, and you know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: we have all these theorists and people just thinking they're
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: looking at visuals don't understand you know, just the idea
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: of like what art maybe, or what what you're trying
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: to do. You know, they're just making up your own message,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: especially when you're not out there like yelling the message
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: all the time. You know, it's just yeah, and when
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: they say this is a community event after a world Yeah,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: so they say a community event is a Satanic ritual?
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: How does that? Yeah, It's like it's it's it's crazy
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: because you know, it's like I do this for people
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: to have a good time. You know, we have rides,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: we have games. You know, it's things for people to
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: get off, creative experiences. It's not you know, the show
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: is at the end of the day. You know, it's
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: like you know and that show is just something based
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: on on what's you know, just the's things. You know,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: It's not like what like why would we wake up
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: one day and just trying to It's just that's just evil.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: It's not what we are part of. Not trying to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: be a part of that. We're trying to be a
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: part of joy, trying to be a part of light,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: and trying to be a part of full blown happiness, love,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: you know, understanding people taking care of each other, you know, community,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: people to leave from these experiences and want to go
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: out and do good. It's literally what we want, you know,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: we want to show them these things. You know, we
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: put everything into it. You know, this is you know,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: this festival. You know, this is our third year, you know,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: so we try to put you know, we every year
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: we put everything into the festival so people can enjoy it.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: You know. It's not about even just come perform that
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: not that, you know, it's things for them to do
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: all day and different artists for them to experience too.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: Have the trauma of just tragedy impacted your desire to
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: perform in the future. I've always seen performances of art
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: of healing for me. That's why I've always been so
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: into it. You know, I don't know if you like,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: you know, looked at like some of the growth from
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: where I'm trying to take performance. I've I've always tried that.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's the art of healing. I feel
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: like it's a moment where people have a mutual understanding,
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like the first things first
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: before anything is that we address you know, a lot
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: of safety concerns. I think the first things first is
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: that because not even just for me, you don't want
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: other you know, artists to have to go and take
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: a part of that trauma, to take a part of
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: that experience, take a part of that, you know, over
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: that fear. You don't want console girls to still be
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: a part of that fear. They want you want, you
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: want them to feel safe, you know what I'm saying.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: So I think that's just the first things first. And
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I think once we take major steps into moving in
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: that direction, you know, I feel like, you know, it
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: could be cool to for people to practice that healing again,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and understand that. I don't think people should
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: run away from it and shy away from it. I think,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a it's a form of healing,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: you know. You know, no matter what you do at
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: any of your shows in the future, regardless of how
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: much security, how much safety you put in place, you
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: cannot control human behavior. Yeah. Yeah, you can't control forty
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand people doing whatever they do. Is that's scary?
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but you know you also put trust
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: in the fans too to you know, just have a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: good time. You know, you just reinstill that, and you
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: know you continue to practice, you know, when you're on stage,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: should just remind them, you know, um, and even when
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: they're there, to just constantly have messages to remind them like, yo,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: look if here to have a good time, we're not here.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: If you see somebody you know help another you know, um.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's just continue to reinstill that message. I
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: think helped that mindset if Yeah, so after a world
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: was one of you know, several ways you gave back
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: to Houston, do you think you've you know, lost that
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: privilege to do that. To be honest, I haven't really
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: like thought about that because I've just been thinking about
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: just community healing and you know, the family's healing and
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: you know, all those things kind of building back up.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Um that that could take forever. Though, you know, I
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if you ever truly heal yeah, from these
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: type of situations and you know, but you know, through
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: these things, you know, like I say, music is part
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of healing. And at the end of the day, um,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I don't I just don't, you know, the Travis Scott
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: show or you know, an asture or show you know,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't the bottom line fact that what happened here, you know?
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: And I think we just got to figure out what
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: that was, what happened. But you know, having a Travis
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Scott show and we've done shows you know, all over
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the you know, what happened here? You know,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: something that happened here, you know, And that's why I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: want to fix it, because it can happen anywhere, you
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I think once we get
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: further along in that, I think, you know, you know,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: it'd be more a little bit more receptive. I feel,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: did they make you feel judged? When you see videos,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: you know, circulating the other artists stopping their shows like
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: to check on fans since since after World because almost
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: like the insinuation from other artists that like, you didn't
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: do enough, So we don't want to be like driving
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I'll take it as you know, they're just taking extra precautions,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: you know, because it might not have been something that
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you know, let's running through their mind at time before,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: and they're just taking extra precautions to you know, make
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: sure they don't run through the same same problems. And
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I could commend them for that. You know. I've always
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: done the same thing, you know, in my prior shows
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: and at their shows, So you know, I feel them,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: you know. I just think it's been a little bit
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: more people are more capturing it now, like because of
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: what's going on. I think that's just how the media works.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: If the families are the victims, never forgive you. Will
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: you ever be able to forgive yourself? Can you live
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: with that? No? It's tough, you know, it's real tough,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: m because I want them to really know that my
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: intentions wasn't you know, it wasn't the harm their family
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: at all. It's for them to come and have a
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: good experience. Um. I've always feel like I have a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: connection with my fans, you know, through the music. I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: feel like when they come to see me, and it's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: not just like oh they're coming, they're coming in, it's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: like a connection. Um. And you know, sometimes not knowing
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: you know, people not understanding like artists and where we
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: come from that it could be the connect and you know,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: I would love to you know, instead of understanding and
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: you know, for them to truly know my heart's from.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: You know, it didn't come for them for me to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: horror and it wasn't about a show to keep you
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: know at all. You know, it's a you know, it's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: about for them to have you know, one of the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: you know, a very good time and it's just traged
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: that it didn't turn out that way. You know. So
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I guess my final question, man, who do who? Who does?
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Who does Travis Scott? Ultimately, I guess think it is
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: responsible for this tragedy. You know, something tragic happening here. Well,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: what I've just been trying to, you know, get to
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: the bottom of it is just what happened here, how
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: it happened here? And you know, I think the families
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: are old, you know that I feel like, you know,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: the community is old that I feel like we're old
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: that to just know what happened here. I don't want
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: to just speak too soon. I just want to figure
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: out what, you know, what happened. You know, you know
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: they're going to pick this interview apart, So anything you
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: want to say to your fans, to the family of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: people who lost loved ones, you know, before we get
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: out of here. I mean, I just want to I
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: want everyone and can just continue praying for the fans, Um.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: I want to continue. I want people to continue praying
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: for the ones, the fans I was lost, you know.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I want people to continue praying for the families. I
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: want people to continue just reaching out for healing. I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: think the more we try to, you know, continue to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: let people grieve and continue to be there for people
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, checking more people and you know, checking
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: on your loved ones and just you know that, you know,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's just like one of the most important things.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: You know, UM, stand strong through this while we you know,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: figure out what's going on, you know, and and bring
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: understanding to these families and to the communities. That's what
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna send healing energy to everybody involved,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: the families, you know, those who were lost, yourself, because
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: nobody wants tragedies like just appe not at all, So
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: preventing the moving for it is the only thing we
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: can do. Appreciate you brother, Yes, sir, absolutely wait wait,

• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: up on a dirt road in Monkst Corner, South Carolina.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Mom was a Jehovah witness English teacher. My father was
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: an entrepreneurgro did everything from owning a fish market, the construction,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: the selling narcotics. It is what it is, It was
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: what it was. My mother kept a book in my face.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I read everything from my book of Bible stories to
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: all you there, God, it's me Margaret. Side note, Judy
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Bloom sent me and my oldest daughter an autograph copy

• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the clues bonds for Judy Bloom. Bro. You can't shout
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: that out with a mask, yo, side okay. She signed
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: it to Charlemagne and in parenthesis Lenard, love you from
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: your fan, Judy Bloom. Thank you, Judy. Also side note
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: to a side note, I ordered some penis enlargement pills
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: and I've been taking them, and I've been chanting, I must,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I must, I must increase my thrust. I explained it
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: on this week's Bring Idiot's podcast. Go listen. Now, what's
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: my point here? My point here is that I come
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: from the dirt all right, South Carolina, eight foot three
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: all day. That is always in me. Therefore I would
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: always love the ratchetness of life, even at forty two
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: years old, married with three kids and a receding headline.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: I love ratchetness. I still do hood rat things with
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: my friends. We just do it at our houses are
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: on vacation when the kids go to sleep. But the
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: reason I'm giving myself donkey of to day is because
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: this morning, when I was here by myself, I was
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: talking about the domestic terrorists that you know hit the capitol,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: you know, Vanilla isis And I was still on a
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: high after listening to all these good country wrap tunes
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: this morning on title, and I feel I feel stupid.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Just listen to how I've been sounding this morning. I've
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: talked my way out of enough home invasions to know
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: when something is a setup. Okay. I don't even know
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: who the trust in government anymore, but I know who
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: I do trust, and that's no damn body, okay. Period.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And for some reason I started to saying, that's on cryp.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: But I'm not a cript. I don't even know why
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: the hell I would even say something like that. All right,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: truth all again. Out there, I'm driving in this morning,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: I heard you shout out all the gangs. Then I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: don't know why I said, I'm gonna be asking you,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: you know how I feel aboudy be talking like that's
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: im crip, and I don't think about it like I
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: ain't even know crip. Why am I saying I'm walking
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: in blue dollar gangs though, Mellow, I don't know what's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: going on the Pallo. We held it down for the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: morning while everybody wasn't there. Man appreciate that it's about time.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know who died it made Ju six nine,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: but I don't know who died and made me six nineties.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: And Mellow, there's quite a three problems with all those statements.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Number One, I don't gang bang, never having my life.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not a crip, not a blood either. I'm nothing.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a man who has therapy to day at three pm.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a man who is scared to order a protein
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: shake from around the corner here and hearing Triedbecca's because
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like they keep giving me whole milk and
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: not owning milk, and I don't have time to spend.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: I was on the toilet today and I get dairy bumps.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: My point was saying all of this and the reason
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I'm giving myself donkey that this is because I just
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: feel stupid and donkey today. It's all about giving people
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: to credit they deserve for being stupid. If you read
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: my first book, the New York Times best selling Black Privilege,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, one of my laws in my book
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: was always give people to credit they deserve for being stupid,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: including yourself. And that's what I'm doing right now. The
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: reason I feel stupid is because I was writing in
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: the work this morning, listening to the New South playlists
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: on the title bro. There's some records on there that
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: make my inner child smile. I mean, there are records
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: on there that make the hood in me happy. Okay,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I'm from South Carolina, the eight four three eight or
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: three eight six four. When you come from a certain environment,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: there is a certain energy that is always in you.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: And when you listen to certain music, certain music is
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: so powerful and it would just have you feeling like
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: you something you're not. Okay, that's what Pooh shicsty guard
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: up did for me. Okay, that's play poosh shanty guard en.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Let me hear a little bit of that. Man, come,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I just past them up, telling Godel to bunt up
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: on the key to carmbers of the earn. Somebody apiece
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: think I applied gold tie so I can put them
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. Okay, that's what Off the Porch by
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: my kid Glock did it for me. This morning, I
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: was listening to the Roaring Twenties by Flow Million. Did
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: my dog Little Boss from North Chalton, southcare a lot
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: of He's on the New South title playlist and you've
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: got a song called I Know It. He's from the
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: same state as me from the Chuck. How can I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: not be influenced? Okay, how can I not be? You
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: know what I feel like right now? I'm at the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: point where I'm like a wax on Minutes to Society,

• 1:09:36

• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: having on the youth. Because the influenced my grown ass
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: this morning. But not because they might rap about violence
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: and doing criminal activities and gang stuff, but because it's fun.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: It's just fun. I mean, listen to these country rap tis.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Play some of that key clock off the porch. Just

• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Your morning's will never be the same morning. Everybody's DJ
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building. That's right,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: he's the head of Instagram. Hi Adam. How do I
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: say your last name? I don't want to mess it up, Sarissi, Adam,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: what's up? My gulco? Thanks for having men joining us.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Tell people what that meets the head of Instagram, CEO
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: of Instagram, What does that mean? It means that if
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: something goes wrong on Instagram, it's on me, and if
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: something goes right, it's probably on my team. But generally
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: I spend as much my time as I can helping
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: us think about where we're going, what we need to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: do better, what we need to double down on because
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: it's going well, and building the team to help us
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: get it done. Let's get to the nity gritty because
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people on social media when
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: you said you would coming here. They have questions, Please
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: bring them. Let's discuss the election first, right because, as
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of fake news that was
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: going around, and there were a lot of issues with
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: Facebook with fake news. You know, how do you guys
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: take responsibility for your platforms with COVID, with fake news
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: and things like that happening, making sure that that information
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't get spread out. Social media as a technology isn't
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: good and it isn't bad. It just is. And social
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: media specifically is a great amplifier in a lot of ways,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: and it can amplify good and it can amplify bad,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: and so it's our responsibility to do all we can
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: to amplify the good and mitigate the bad. And you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: see both spread on the platform, right. You saw the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement spread on social media. You saw
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: me too spread on social media. But you also see
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: things like misinformation spread on social media. And so we
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: try to figure out all the different things that we
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: can do to identify problems and address them and then
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: also rethink the core of what we do and how
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: we do it to create better outcomes. And that work
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: never ends. And so I mean you brought up a
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: couple of different things there, but on misinformation specifically, what
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: we do is we work with third party fact checkers,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: So people who do this for a living, who do
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: this for publications, we give them access to what's shared
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: on the platform, and they can dispute things. They can
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: say that this isn't true and here's a link to why.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: And when that happens, we reduce the spread of that
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: when we label things and we give people links to
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: good information but we don't take it off the platform
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: entirely unless there's a safety risk. So for things like
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen or vaccine related misinformation, we just stick it
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: off the platform entirely. So at this point we spend
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars a year and there are tens of
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: thousands of people between the engineers, the reviewers, and everything
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: else focused on safety. How liable should social media platforms
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: be in regards to lawsuits, like if I want to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: sue somebody for sland our deformation, should I be able
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: to name the social media platform? Yeah? So this is
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: actually one of the big legal debates right now. Right
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: and here in the US they talk a lot about
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Section to thirty, which gives technology platforms essentially no liability,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: but the people who post that content are liable in
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: different countries around the world that that may not be
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: the case. Actually it isn't the case. Yea. South Africa
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: don't play. Yeah, no, a lot of Europe they don't play.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: And so the thing that I think is that it's
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: important that company needs are held to account to take
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: measures to keep people safe. But I don't think we
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: can go all the way to have a social media
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: platform be accountable for every single thing that is said
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: on that platform by every person, because they're over a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: billion people on Instagram at this point, and there's there's
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: no version of that where there aren't going to be
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: people with problematic opinions, racists, et cetera are going to
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: show up. I'm not going to check that at the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: door when they open up Instagram. But I do think
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we can just you know, wipe
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: a hand. The question is where are we on that spectrum?
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: What do you say to people that say that, you know,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: social media, Instagram per se, it's really affecting people's mental
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: where people are are you know, thinking of committing suicide
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, having problems in school and self esteem
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: and all of those things due to that platform. So
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: there's a range here, and I think they are all
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: really important questions. There are problems that are really acute,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: right So if you are struggling with self injury or suicide,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: that is I mean, that's high stakes, that's really problematic.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: And we've done a lot of work in that area
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: to try and be thoughtful about what we share, like
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: getting people access to good information or to help. So,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: for instance, right now, if we think you are a
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: risk to yourself, we will do it, will direct uture
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: resources or even in some extreme cases resources to you.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: How do you report that? Right in the reason I'm
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: stopping you there, Let's say you have a family member
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: that goals and it's off doing some wild still a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: lot of times them themselves don't know that they're doing
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: wild stuff, but a family member might. How does that
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: family member report that to Instagram and say, Hey, my
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: sisters doing this, or my aunt is doing this, or
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: my brother is doing this. How does that work? So
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: in every post, be a photo, video or anything else
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, you can always report something. There's a little
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: dot dot Do you really check it? Because sometimes I
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: feel like it doesn't get checked because there's so many
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: people that make fake MV pages. I feel like every
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: day we've got room number, we definitely check it. But
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: the challenge is the truth is the reports are actually
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: mostly not of things that are problem. There's a ton
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: of people who are like, I don't like the way
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: I look in this photo, and I'm going to report it.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, it's it's actually the vast Oh,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: it's the vast majority, which is imagine that, Yeah, which
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: is why we can't rely only on the reports. We
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: definitely check the reports. We prioritize them, right, So if
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: someone's reporting someone's a risk to themselves, we're gonna look
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: at that much faster than someone's reporting something as being nudity,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: for instance. But we have to also build technology ourselves
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: to go out and try and identify things, because if
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: someone's going to be a risk to themselves, that's where
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: you're going live and you're talking about hurting yourself. We
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to wait for someone to hopefully report that.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, we don't have a religious opinion on
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: the female nipple. The reason why we don't allow nudaty
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: on Instagram is because it is actually a safety issue
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: because we can't verify age and we can't verify consent.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: I think social media sometimes protects biggest though, it protects
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: biggest in regard to racism homophobia, because I've posted videos
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: of like racists getting punched in the face right for
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: blatantly being racist, and then Instagram we'll remove it. We
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: definitely make mistake. We also take a lot of flak
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: for letting people say a lot of crap that we
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with in general, we're gonna try and
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: bias towards letting people say what they want on the platform,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: and we try to only take content down when there's
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: a safety risk. Should the FCC regulate social media like
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: they do radio and TV? They can, and they should.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: I think regulation is important. I think that social media
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: is too big to not have governments have an opinion
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: about what should and should not be. Okay. Now, the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: type of regulation, though, is particularly important. Some regulation could
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: be really helpful, particularly clarifying what is and what is
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: not you know, a certain problem out of content type.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: So for instance, we have a hate speech policy. Hate
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: speech protects people based on nine different types of traits,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: so you know, race, gender, religion, the things you would expect.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: That's our definition. But you have to be careful because
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: if you get too aggressive with regulation, or you write
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: regulation in certain ways, you might incentivize social platforms to
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: censor more. Right, if you're going to find them a
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: big amount every time they make a mistake and that's
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: something up, they're going to take down more because this
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: is their financial interest to do so. Now, another question
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: I have. You were talking about wanting to make sure
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: I saw you said that you wanted to make sure
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: that creatives actually start making more money on Instagram, and
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: I know they have like the tips that you can
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: do on YouTube and things like that. Yeah, what are
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: some ways that you guys? I see the Instagram ads
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: you can also sign up for, which I'm not one
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: hundred percent share what that is. So if you want
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: to explain how people can make money on Instagram, and
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: there's a range of ways we can help creators make
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: a living. Largely they fall into three categories. The first
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: is essentially commerce, So you can do branded content, right,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: so you get paid by a brand off of Instagram
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: or off of Facebook, and then you do a deal
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: and your post on Instagram to promote whatever that is.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: But then we also need to do things that allow
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: people to pay the creators that they love directly, right,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: So we're interested in things like tipping. So we've got
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: badges for instance, when you go live right now exploring
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: if we can support subscripe. Maybe you could have a
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: group of people who pay you five bucks a month
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: and you get them exclusive content that only they get,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: and you can do that right through Instagram. It's almost
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: like the only fans type of thing where you can
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: have a subscription, but now the stuff that they subscribe to,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: can you put whatever you want up there now? Because
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: you know who your subscribers are, right, you know their age.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: It's almost like you could take that now, you can
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: show a nipple, you know, because you know who your
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: subscribers are. All right, yes and no, So if there's
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: a safety issue, we're still going to have to take
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: it down. But I mean, for instance, we do do
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: age gating for certain types of content, so things like
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: today tobacco, that kind of thing. So we could we
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: could we could explore that we haven't actually talked about
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: that morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee shall I
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: kicking in with Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram. Is
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: it a trick to it? Though? You know, at a
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people are like, hey, it's a trick when
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: I post my videos because sometimes I post a video
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: or picture and I get this amount of likes, and
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: then sometimes it's on this page and I get this
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: amount of likes. Yeah, like, you know, was a trick
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: to maybe. I'm like, I'm not giving up my tricks.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: I would I'm trying to figure too. I've got an account,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to build up my following. The unfortunate truth
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: is there's no perfect answer, and it's the million dollar question.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of things I'd say. One is
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: it's important to first when you're using whether it's Instagram
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: or any other social media platform, to be intentional about
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: what you're using it for. Are using it to promote
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: a cause that you believe, and are using it as
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: a business directly, are using it to just build up
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: awareness of your business, and you make your money elsewhere.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: The other thing to be honest about is that every
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: audience is different, right, So what's going to work best
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: for your followers isn't necessarily probably not going to work
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: with what's best for my followers. So you and I
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: both have to experiment. We've got to try things, see
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: what works, see what doesn't. But there are other things
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: that are more broadly true. So I do think it's
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: generally true to give people a good sense of what
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: you're about and what you do. So I try to
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: build up these sort of patterns. So I do a
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: video every week where I talk about what's happening on Instagram.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Video also this seems to be a lot of interest
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: across the entire world and always consuming more videos. So
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: some of those basics are more universal, but a lot
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: of it is more nuanced. Unfortunately, what is Instagram learning
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: from the black creators on TikTok so the black strike
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: on TikTok, Black credit struck on TikTok, I think is
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: mostly about credit right too often Black creators will create
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: amazing things and not creat credit for it, and someone else,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: often not black, who will reap all the benefits. But
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: we're trying to understand not just that, but the broader
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: set of issues and the big set of issues that
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: we've heard from the black community here in the States
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: and over the last year and a half are things
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: around censorship, shadow banning, racism on the platform, having your
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: content taken down when you fight back against the bigot
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: or a racist. And so we feel like the credit
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: stuff that TikTok is dealing with is important and we're
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: looking we're working on that, but we really got to
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: first do better on the basics because we don't really
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: even have a right to play in like the creator
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: monetization space unless we can get better on the issues
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: around content takedowns, account suspensions like little Boosey. Yeah, okay,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: you know, little Boozy gonna stop calling you out now
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: he's been saying you know who. Now surprise, I'm surprised
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: he hasn't sit them in my DM. You know now.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Adam was sorry, you guy right here. I can't wait
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: to see him later on. Adam Moossary, Adam Mossary. It's
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: Mossi with seven essays. Now what about limiting screen? No no,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: why doesn't Boozy keep getting taken down? We gotta drug
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: the line somewhere and it's it's a nudity policy. We
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: try to be clear. You can appeal, but if you
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: get too many strikes to think you know what's nudity?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Because I flagged Kim Kardashi in ten thousand times. Remember
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: when Kim posted a picture Why would you do it?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: Because they don't take cut down, but they take everybody
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: out there. So I flagged it. If she posts a
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: picture of nipples getting taken down. If the guy, no, guy,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: this is one. This is one of my man. Nipples
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: are allowed, so I should be clear one of one
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: of one of my favorite tricks that people who are
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: sort of nudity advocates talk about One of my favorite
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: tricks that they do is they'll take a mail nipple,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: cut it out, and paste the mail nipple on a
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: female's breast and post that just to test our policies.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: If we figure it out, that's allowed. You know, This
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: is what it means to be a platform with as
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: much reach as we have, is you're gonna have people
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: try to push you and figure things out. Does Instagram
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: understanding cult it all? Right? Because you have people like
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: little Duvall Little Booty whose page always get taken down,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: and it could be for doing things like using the
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: N word, but they're using it in like the context
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: of that's my N word, but it'll get taken down
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: for like racial slurs really like yeah, yeah. So it's
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: tough because no, we don't understand culture perfectly at all,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: just super clear, you can't at our scale. And so
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: there are things where we just have to draw the
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: line or define a rule that is practical for us
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: to actually enforce, because the perfect rule is going to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: be nuanced, but the perfect rule we cannot enforce accurately
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: and consider certainly tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: of times a day or whatever it is. And so yeah,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: there are certain racial slurs that you cannot say on Instagram,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: regardless of how you identify. Now, that's just because we
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: don't think we would be able to get it right
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: enough of the time. We would make too many mistakes otherwise,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: and it's better for us to be transparent about the
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: rule and then be able to act accordingly. And you
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: can make your own decision. What about limiting screen time
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: because I know that was a discussion that people have.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: You know, your phone will tell you how long you've
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: been on all of these apps. Is that something in
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Instagram that people are concerned about? Like? Are you concerned
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: about that people being addicted and constantly on their phone?
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it's everything in moderation. But I
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: also want to be clear there's a difference between like addiction,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: which is a compulsion to do something that is unhealthy
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: for you that you cannot stop, and just problematic use
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: or overuse people that are addicted to social media, though
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: some are and some just use it too much. And
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: so what we try to do is decide for the difference.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: So if you're in a really problematic state, how can
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: we intervene? How can we let you know how much
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: time you're spending, etc. But if you're just using it
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: a lot, the things that we need to do might
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: be different. Replace what you say with cocaine, some people
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: aren't addictive, but some people just use it too much.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can talk about that same
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: thing with the same thing, because if you're using it
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: too much, you clearly have like a draw to it
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: that you can't control. Right, But I think cocaine is
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: a drug, and a drug has serious medical, you know, implications.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: I think social media will in the future, I don't.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: I think psychologically, emotionally, mentally, we do not. Even we're
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: not even scratching the surface of social media is impact
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: people in the future, I think that's reasonable. But I
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: also think that every new technology is first met with
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: a wave of optimism. People are really excited about what
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: it can do, then a huge wave of concern, and
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: then ideally you get to some sort of balance, and
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: by the way, as you get through it, the media
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: itself or the technology itself gets better. I think social
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: media is a technology that's just said earlier in that phase.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm sure use of social media can affect
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: your health. Like because communicating with anyone can affect your health,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: and social media is just a way to connect. Let's
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: talk about that because I feel like social media is
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: changing human behavior in real life, is making people's collective
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: attention spans decrease, is making people in secure. I think
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: it's fueling narcissism. So how do you make it a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: more mentally healthy environment? I think that there's really three
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: types of work I personally think we have to do.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: The first is to identify acute issues. You know, if
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: people who are at risk of self injury are becoming
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: more at risk, how do we address that. How do
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: we make sure that they can still do what a
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: lot of people who are struggling with self injury deal
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: on social media, which is get support, get help. It's
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: important to talk about your experience. Maybe you're you know,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: your thirty days clean and you want to celebrate that.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: How do we allow that content on Instagram without content
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: that celebrates self injury? So, you know, identify qute issues,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: Identify solutions that work never ends, keep working there. Then
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: I think we need to identify areas where we can
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: go further, where we can be innovative, where we can
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: define new ways of addressing the issues. Like one of
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: the ones that we're been focused on for about two
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: years now, I was bullying, And so then what can
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: we do there? And there were trying to invent new things,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: things like restricts. Right, restrict allows you to block someone
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: without you knowing about it. That's my favorite thing to
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: do because they're still posting, but they don't know that
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: no one can see it about them. Yeah, and so
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: that was from our work on bullying. But then the
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: third area is what are the core things about how
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: Instagram works or social media works that we need to rethink.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: That's why we experimented with and made it so that
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: people could pick to have light counts to be private.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: For instance, are there core things that we need to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: rethink because they are creating too much bad or too
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: many problems and not enough good. What about taking away likes?
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: I remember that was a flirtatious idea. Yeah, so the
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: idea is to allow you to well, originally was to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: hide light counts so you could still like things, but
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: it would be less of a popularity contest, but you
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: could see it but not everybody else. Yes, it turned
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: out to be really polarizing. It didn't seem to change
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: much about how people felt about Instagram. We tried to
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: see if it changed people well being. We try to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: measure well being your question by asking people sending These
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: are surveys. So essentially we work with academics, professionals, experts
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: outside of the company who have defined all sorts of
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: ways of measuring well being. So what they did is
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: they designed a set of questions that whose answers correlate.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: So if you if you say you have a support network,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: if you say you are not lonely, these things correlate
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: with real world wellbeing outcomes over the long run. And
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: so then we try to run surveys on Instagram and
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: ask people those same questions, and we try to see
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: for things like hiding lightcounts that change how people answer
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: those questions. It didn't. But some people love this and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: some people hated it. And so what we did is,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: you said, all right, well, given that, let's give people
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: a choice. You can decide you can hide light counts
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: and not have to be part of your Instagram experience,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: or you can have light counts. Well more, we have
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: more with the head of Instagram, Adam Musseri. When we
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: come back is the Breakfast Club, Good morning, the Breakfast Club,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: more Abidas, dj Envy angela Ye, shallow me and the
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: guy we are. The Breakfast Club was still kicking with
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: Adam Museri, the head of Instagram, tired of seeing if
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: I like her booty or not. I'm tired of bitcoin
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: because you should invest with this person. The word is sam.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't know where he was talking about it something
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: long and hard. I don't get that one, but go ahead,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: I get that so much like this, like it's ridiculous
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: and why stops? Yeah, so some of this happens just
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: because we make the mistakes and we think you're interested
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: in things that you're not interested in. And so right
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: now you can say, right, all, yeah, why would why
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: would you think? Are the ads? Are there just a
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: regular like spam much like comments comments spam? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: you're talking about spam in the comments, right. I thought
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: you were talking about like in your explore. No, this
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: is spam you're getting. If you're getting, you want a
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: long and hardened and explore. It's like trying to address this.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: I'm ordering no, pedith, ordering penis and lament. This some delicate,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: delicate you know, answer to this question was like, like,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: what are you following? Man? Okay, way better now, Thank
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: you for making me feel good about it. If I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't to explore with you know it teach their if
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: it's no judgments, No, it's in the comment picture right
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: now and within spams. Yeah, so this is yeah, so
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: the bots and the spam comments. So we are working
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: on this. One of the things is we've made less
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: progress on this issue as some other issues because we've
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: prioritized things like safety issues. But we've gotten better at bots.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: But the thing is the spammer is and the bots
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: they've gotten more sophisticated. So we do things we look like, okay,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: if you comment every second of the day, twenty four
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: hours a day, you're not a person. You're so like,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: we shut you down. But they've gotten sophisticated. They mask
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: themselves at different phones, they do it on different intervals,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: they pretend to sleep, they do all of this stuff,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: and so it's it's a it's an arms race, so
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: to speak. As we get better at addressing issues, they
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: work around those issues, and then we got to get
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: better addressing those new issues. I should hire them. They
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: seem pretty We try, we try, we know we try
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: what about getting verified? People always want to know how
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: can I get ver Yes, there's people that are like,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: I can pay if you pay me, I can get
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: you a scam scam, No, don't um. So you can
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: apply in the app the point of verification though it's
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be a status symbol. It's supposed to
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: be a way for people who are getting impersonated to
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: be able to signal to the world what their real
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: account is. Now it's turned into a status symbol. I
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: get that, but that was not ever the intent. You
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: can apply in the app. What we look for essentially
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: is notability. We try to evaluate it using third parties,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: so we basically look for press about you. There's no
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: in them follow our account. If you don't get approved
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: in the vast majority of the cases, it's because we
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: couldn't find enough press about you. Let's say I've search
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: cars and then all I'll get his cars, car car car,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: car car car, or if I search your phones, or
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: I'll get his phone phone and phone phonell do you
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: guys do that? And can we take that off so
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: I don't have to see that all day long? Forgive
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: search and I can be talking about something we don't listen.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: We don't listen. My wife thinks I'm a liar on
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: this too. It's a real cast and fight at the home.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Um okay, So on the search or on ads more broadly,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: so this is this adds where this will happens. Ye,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: they'll explore. It is a little tippy too, like if
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: I express a little bit too much interest in something,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: I get a lot of that thing for a couple
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: of whiles. So we're trying to get to better um
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: balance there. But on ads you can't. You can go
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: to your ad preferences and you can say I'm interested in.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: It will show you what we think you're interested in,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: and you can change them. Um. And so that's over
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: undersettings under your profile and or ad preferences for listening.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: We are not listening. It would be a gross violation
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: of policy. Would also drain your battery, your phone would
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: turn on like you would be able to know it.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: But all the time we get accused of this. I
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: think what is happening is one sometimes the advertising is
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: actually working. Like you saw it a couple of times
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: and then you thought about it, and then you know,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: and then you noticed it and you talked about it.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have a bible to make you put you
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: I will put my hand on it. I don't know
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: how to I'm not going to convince you. Clearly that's
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: a weird thing to do. If you want me to
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: do it, I'll do it. Um. I think also is
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: that we don't just show you ads based on what
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: we know about you. We show you ads based on
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: you know what your friends seem to like. We call
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: that collaborative filtering. And ads are good, like we're good
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: at figuring out what you're interested in. We don't always
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: get it right. We make mistakes. I know a lot
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: of people don't like ads, but we think that ads
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: fundamentally they allow small businesses to play on an equal
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: playing field with big businesses. And then it woul happened
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: to you. Have you been talking about something then you
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: look down at your Instagram the ad for it pops up.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Not directly, no, but I've definitely they had things been like,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: how the hell did we know I was interested in that?
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: How many meanings did you have to be in the president?
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: That was that a huge conversation. It was an intense conversation,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: but it was an intensity of circumstances we didn't have
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: a policy for what happens when a sitting president incites
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: a riot to try to prevent the peaceful transfer of
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: power to a new president. There's sort of the new
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: territory for all of us lying this whole presidency. Though, yeah,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: I could have took them down early on, right, But
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: we don't have a policy against lye. We have a
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: policy against lying when they're safety risks. You could make
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: that case here. But we also want to make sure
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: that politicians can get health accountable for their actions, and
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: so they've had historically in certain areas different rules, the
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: same way public figures have different rules. But that was
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: an intense moment, and we have this thing that we
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: call the Oversight Board now because a lot of these
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: decisions we think shouldn't be made by us directly, So
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: we sort of built this board. It's independent, and we
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: made this decision and then we asked them for their
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: opinion on it. Basically, um, they did. But what I
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: would have done, which they said, is like, yeah, we
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: would have banned them too, But you have to have
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: a policy. You can't just like do it something, you know,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: as a one off. And I think that was fair.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: And then we defined a policy now and he suspended
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: four two years. Who owns the pictures that you post?
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: Because it was a rumor that you own a pictures
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: so we own a pictures. Instagram does not own the pictures. Yeah,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: once every year or two we get a false declaration
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: that like, you don't own your stuff and if you
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: repost this random chain letter, you own it and it
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: goes viral. But then we try to go on correct
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: that as quickly as possible and make sure people know
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: what the real rules are. I wonder about the intention.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the intention was when they first started
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of these sites. But also when you see
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: Frankenstein becoming Frankenstein, when do you know, maybe it might
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: be time to take down Frankenstein's Frankenstein the whole thing.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: At this point, it feels like it like when you
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: watch movies, like when you watch the communities, like the
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: Social Dilemma on Netflix. What goes through your mind that
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: specific one, though, I felt like it was a little
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: bit dramatic triplet programmers like in a Star Trek place
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: deciding what you see is clearly on how things work.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: But overall I thought they were bringing up in portant
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: issues that should be talked about. I thought that's a
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: healthy thing. Now, Look I'm biased. I want to recognize
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: that up front, but I really believe that we do
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of good in the world. We help a
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: lot of people express themselves. We help them go straight
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: to their fans or to the or to their friends,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: they don't have to go to traditional media. We will
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: help small businesses around the world. We help marginalized communities
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: around the world in a lot of ways. But there's
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: bad that comes to now. I think there's more good
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: than bad. So I don't think that it makes sense that,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: you know, put a bullet in Frankenstein to use your
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: metaphor right the playing field for people too in a
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: huge way. Like I love to see how like a
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: Lala Milan or a DC young Fly, how some of
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: these creators have been able to really use social media
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: to get the platforms that they have now. But then
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: I hate qing on and then I hate the fact
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: that there was an attempted cool of the government on January.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I really feel like we're headed do
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: some orson wells war the world type because of nobody
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: cares about the truth on social media when the lives
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: more entertained. Well, I think confirmation bias is a thing,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: and that's the oldest time. People want to hear what
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: they agree with and they don't want to hear what
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: they don't agree with. Just give me the keys to
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: the nuclear code. Just tell me. Just give me and
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: I can just go in and delete pages. That's it.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: I can do that. I got time. It's a lot
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: of people, it's a lot of I got it. Just
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: give me the keys to the nuclear code. But the
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: concerns you have, like I said before, we had those
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: concerns about every major new technology, particularly around the ones
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: that change how people communicate. One of the big concerns
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: about writing when it first existed was that there was
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: no one there to disagree with you. Well, those people
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: get held liable though, Like you can sue an author
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: for playing the defamation. That's why they take to change
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: names in books and things of that nature. But for
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: certain issues, yeah, But for other issues, no, you could
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: say something, you can make a case for something that
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: is really problematic in a bunch of different ways, put
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: it out there and it doesn't violate along in any country.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: You can sue for defamation on social media too. Though, right,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: if somebody says something about you that's defamatory and not true. Yeah,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: I think the question is who's accountable is the person
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: who said it or the platforms or the platform And
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: I think the platforms need to be held accountable for
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: taking not just reasonable, but like meaningful measures to reduce
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: these problems. I don't think it's sustainable for us to
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: be accountable for everything everybody says, because if we were,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: we would have to take down so much content that
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: you would have a huge censorship issue. We appreciate you
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: for joining us so little do I mean little Boozy's
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: pages down because of nudity? Sorry do boh? I don't
• 1:39:29

• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: been taking them, and I've been chanting, I must, I must,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: I must increase my thrust. I explained it on this
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: week's Brand Idiots podcast. Go listen, Now, what's my point here?
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: My point here is that I come from the dirt
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: all right, South Carolina, eight for three all day. That
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: is always in me. Therefore, I will always love the
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: ratchetness of life, even at forty two years old, married
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: with three kids and a receding headline. I love ratchetness.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: I still do hood rat things with my friends. We
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: just do it at our houses are on vacation when
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: the kids go to sleep. But the reason I'm giving
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: myself donkey of to day is because this morning, when
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: I was here by myself, I was talking about the
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: domestic terrorists that you know hit the capitol, you know,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: Vanilla isis And I was still on a high after
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: listening to all these good country rap tunes this morning
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: on title and I feel I feel stupid. Just listen
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: to how I've been sounding this morning. I've talked my
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: way out of enough home invasions to know when something
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: is a setup. Okay. I don't even know who the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: trust in government anymore, but I know who I do trust,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: and that's no damn body okay. Period. And for some reason,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: I started to saying, that's on crip. But I'm not
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: a crips. I don't even know why the hell I
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: would even say something like that. All right, Sluth dollar
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: gangs out there, I'm driving in this morning. I heard
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: you shout out all the gangs. Then I don't know
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: why I said, I'm gonna be asking you, you know
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: how I feelbody be talking like that's on crip and
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: then I don't think about it, like I didn't even
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: know crip. Why am I saying I'm walking in blue
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: dollar gangs? Though, Mellow, I don't know what's going on
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: to Pall held it down for the morning. Why everybody
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't there, Man, it's about time. I don't know who
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: died it made you six nine, but I don't know
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: who died and made me six nineties. And Mellow, it's
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: quite a problems with all those statements. Number one, I
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: don't gang bang, never having my life. I'm not a cript,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: not a blood either. I'm nothing. I'm a man who
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: has therapy today at three pm. I'm a man who
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: is scared to order a protein shake from around the
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: corner and hear in tribecas because I feel like they
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: keep giving me whole milk and not owning milk. And
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to spend hours on the toilet
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: today and I get dairy bumps. My point was saying
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: all of this, and the reason I'm giving myself donkey
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: to day is because I just feel stupid, and donkey
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: today is all about giving people to credit they deserve
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: for being stupid. If you read my first book, the
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: New York Times best selling Black Privilege, and you know
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: one of my laws in my book was always give
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: people to credit they deserve for being stupid, including yourself.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm doing right now. The reason I
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: feel stupid is because I was writing in the work
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: this morning, listening to the New South playlists on a
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: title bro. There's some records on there that make my
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: inner child smile. I mean, there are records on there
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: that make the hood and me happy. Okay, I'm from
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: South Carolina the eight four three eight or three eighty
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: six four. When you come from a certain environment, there
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: is a certain energy that is always in you. And
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: when you listen to certain music, certain music is so
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: powerful and it would just have you feeling like you
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: something you're not. Okay, that's what Pooh shysty guard Up
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: did for me. Okay, that's play pool shasty guard Um.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: Let me here a little bit of that man comes
