Speaker 2: I am a Mariah Carey fan. I am a lamb.
1:52
Speaker 1: I had whole experience just being there excited to see
1:55

1:56
Speaker 1: meet Mariah Carey backstage because we were also streaming for
1:59

2:14
Speaker 1: I'm behind the scenes with you know, all the radio
2:17

2:30
Speaker 1: maroom five, y'all. Adam Lavigne is so fun. I didn't know, okay,
2:37
Speaker 1: and maybe I did know, I think, because so what
2:39
Speaker 1: I realized in real time with number one this festival
2:43
Speaker 1: was that music And this is very cliche to say,
2:47
Speaker 1: but music has no like, music has no boundaries. Like
2:52
Speaker 1: music connects people in such a way it's like nothing
2:57
Speaker 1: like that you've ever experienced. So like me and a
3:00
Speaker 1: person with the opposing with an opposing political view, you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: different ethnic backgrounds, you know.
3:06
Speaker 2: Even different gender like whatever.
3:09
Speaker 1: We could all be in one place and hear a
3:11
Speaker 1: song that we love and that reminds us of something,
3:15
Speaker 1: and in that moment we will connect one hundred percent,
3:18
Speaker 1: we will connect an even the connections not anything that
3:20
Speaker 1: lasts forever. It's just in that moment, just experiencing hearing
3:24
Speaker 1: that song and it taking you back to that moment
3:27
Speaker 1: that you're remembering, that feeling that you remember it feeling
3:29
Speaker 1: the first time you heard the song or when a
3:31
Speaker 1: song got you do something. I was thinking about that
3:33
Speaker 1: at the festival, Like, Yo, it's all these thousands of
3:36
Speaker 1: people in here, and we all here because we love music.
3:39
Speaker 2: And like our lives have been changed.
3:40
Speaker 1: Literally, my life has been changed because of music and
3:44
Speaker 1: radio and all these things.
3:45
Speaker 2: It was just it was. It was a fire experience.
3:48
Speaker 1: So shout out to iHeartRadio, and thank you guys for
3:50
Speaker 1: having me at the festival. I'm saying thank you, like
3:52
Speaker 1: I don't work for them, but they didn't have to
3:54
Speaker 1: invite me, so I'm appreciative to be there. Yeah, and
3:58
Speaker 1: Ma and Maroon five, I did not know. I didn't
4:01
Speaker 1: know number one that I enjoyed so many other songs,
4:04
Speaker 1: And then I knew so many of their songs either.
4:07
Speaker 1: I always thought the white boys at the cookout were
4:09
Speaker 1: in sync, justin Timberlake when he left in sync and
4:14
Speaker 1: justin Timberlake, Like I really didn't have like a long list.
4:17
Speaker 1: But Maroon five, Adam Levine, I don't know. He can
4:19
Speaker 1: come on over to my cookout baby any day. That
4:22
Speaker 1: man is gorgeous and the way that they play to
4:25
Speaker 1: the crowd, just seeing him with the guitar and the tattoos.
4:28
Speaker 1: I actually have a clip from the stream of me singing.
4:31
Speaker 2: I don't know I have a clip.
4:33
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to this clip from the stream,
4:35
Speaker 1: because baby I was in it.
4:39
Speaker 2: I don't like Maroo five as much. To be honest
4:41
Speaker 2: with you, I gotta know about two songs. But I
4:43
Speaker 2: thought I.
4:44
Speaker 1: Got a good little yes, so a great time. I
4:48
Speaker 1: also became a fan of Tate McCrae.
4:51
Speaker 2: Y'all know Tate McCray.
4:53
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm late. I'm so late to her party, and
4:56
Speaker 1: I apologize. Tate McCray is she has like her core
5:00
Speaker 1: group of fans called the tater Tots.
5:02
Speaker 2: I met mad tater Ties this weekend.
5:04
Speaker 1: Yo, Like, honestly, I think Sophie laughing at me the
5:08
Speaker 1: tator No I met them, now I met yo. I
5:12
Speaker 1: met so many girls at this festival who were tater tied.
5:16
Speaker 1: And again it was all because when she came on,
5:18
Speaker 1: I was standing there in amazement.
5:20
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, Taate mccraig get busy.
5:23
Speaker 1: Like the way she performs, like she works, like she
5:27
Speaker 1: very much a superstar, works the crowd, works the audience,
5:31
Speaker 1: The dancing is there. It was she a dancer prior
5:33
Speaker 1: to Okay, I knew she had to be like a dancer,
5:36
Speaker 1: not like a stripper like ballet and shit. You know,
5:39
Speaker 1: I knew she had to be a dancer or some
5:40
Speaker 1: stort because of the shoes that she was wearing. There
5:42
Speaker 1: were dance shoes, her outfit and just her her ability. Baby, listen,
5:48
Speaker 1: I ain't see no white girl hit her five six,
5:50
Speaker 1: seven eight like that almost ever, but Britney Spears probably was.
5:52
Speaker 2: The last one. And now she danced in front of refrigerators.
5:54
Speaker 1: Okay, it has been a long time, but I enjoyed
5:58
Speaker 1: her performance thoroughly of the way she worked with the
6:00
Speaker 1: crowd and also her dancers.
6:03
Speaker 2: Maybe it was given ballroom down, okay, them they were
6:06
Speaker 2: going off. It was. It was just great to see.
6:08
Speaker 2: It made me even before hearing the music.
6:11
Speaker 1: Some of the are like really sitting and listening to
6:13
Speaker 1: the music watching her, because I mean, you're hearing the
6:16
Speaker 1: music as you're watching her. But the dance breaks and
6:18
Speaker 1: seeing her dancers and just seeing how she worked the stage,
6:21
Speaker 1: I was sold.
6:22
Speaker 2: And then as she got into.
6:24
Speaker 1: A couple songs, I started listening to her sing and
6:26
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know, I see what this is
6:28
Speaker 1: doing here. This is very much, giving you know, the
6:31
Speaker 1: Britney Spears who like, you know, that whole vibe.
6:35
Speaker 2: She was there.
6:36
Speaker 1: But I'm a fan now Taate mccraig definitely got to
6:38
Speaker 1: follow for me on Instagram after that. So yes, it's
6:40
Speaker 1: had a great time at the festival to say the least,
6:43
Speaker 1: but your girl is tied. But nonetheless, let's get on
6:46
Speaker 1: into the latest. Now here's the thing about, you know,
6:50
Speaker 1: our first story. I have been working and you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: doing everything that I'm doing now for a few years
7:01
Speaker 1: in preparation of like, Okay, you're gonna hit your big break,
7:04
Speaker 1: You're gonna be making that money. You know, I'm talking like,
7:07
Speaker 1: you know, there are some talk show hosts who are
7:09
Speaker 1: you looking at like millions per episode, millions per season
7:13
Speaker 1: of their show to get paid to come and talk
7:17
Speaker 1: about the things that they love to talk about, to
7:19
Speaker 1: express their opinion, to interview people, to introduce.
7:22
Speaker 2: You guys, the audience to these people.
7:24
Speaker 1: That's always been a dream of mine. Like I love
7:26
Speaker 1: the storyteller, I love to talk to people. I love
7:28
Speaker 1: the yap, but it's always been a dream of mine
7:32
Speaker 1: to you know, have a talk show, to do exactly
7:36
Speaker 1: what I'm doing right now. Introducing people to things and
7:39
Speaker 1: places and you know, just all these different things I say.
7:43
Speaker 1: I have to say, I'm very disheartened by the fact
7:45
Speaker 1: that I walk into work now every day nervous about
7:47
Speaker 1: my job. And I'm nervous because y'all like, damn, girl,
7:51
Speaker 1: you took the job from jess Mine. When she taking
7:53
Speaker 1: it back, I'm like, no, that's We're good. Not because
7:56
Speaker 1: of that, but Donald Trump, and I mean everything that's
8:02
Speaker 1: happening right now with you know, the way people are
8:07
Speaker 1: using their microphones and their platforms at how fast things
8:09
Speaker 1: are getting taken from them. So you guys know, Jimmy
8:12
Speaker 1: Kimmel was recently pulled off of ABC, and that has
8:15
Speaker 1: been such a conversation because people feel like his remarks
8:19
Speaker 1: that he made it didn't warrant the pulling from, you know,
8:23
Speaker 1: being on air that he received. Now, Jimmy Kimmel was
8:27
Speaker 1: speaking about the death of Charlie Kirk, the murder of
8:31
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, who is a political talking head who you know.
8:35
Speaker 1: He he said things that definitely made people very upset,
8:40
Speaker 1: that targeted certain groups of people that you know, he
8:43
Speaker 1: felt like was his truth, but not everybody agreed, right,
8:47
Speaker 1: Kimmel decides to talk about you know him in his passing,
8:52
Speaker 1: which leads to his show them being taken off air.
8:54
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to Kimmel.
8:55
Speaker 3: We had some new lows over the weekend with the
8:57
Speaker 3: Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
9:01
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk.
9:02
Speaker 4: As anything other than one of them, and everything they can.
9:05
Speaker 2: To score political points from.
9:08
Speaker 3: And so I was with the architects that design it's
9:10
Speaker 3: going to be incredible, and they came in they said,
9:15
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk is dead. I didn't know what they meant.
9:19
Speaker 1: I said it was dead. Charlie Kirk was shy.
9:23
Speaker 2: And they thought he was dead because it was so horrific.
9:25
Speaker 2: Can I live? And they said dead?
9:31
Speaker 4: And then we installed the most beautiful chandelier.
9:33
Speaker 2: You Wisconsins, you wouldn't believe.
9:36
Speaker 1: So following this, there have now been conversations about who's
9:40
Speaker 1: next and what next and where do we go from here?
9:43
Speaker 1: And I know for me, the day that I got look,
9:46
Speaker 1: I get alerts. I am alert down. I get alerts
9:49
Speaker 1: for every news station, major Twitter accounts that are posting
9:52
Speaker 1: breaking news.
9:53
Speaker 2: I could not believe websites.
9:55
Speaker 1: I could not believe the day that I got the
9:57
Speaker 1: notification that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off ABC, suspended indefinitely.
10:01
Speaker 1: They want like, you know, all these apologies and all
10:03
Speaker 1: these things that happen and blah blah blah blah blah.
10:05
Speaker 2: And I honestly thought that it was a joke.
10:08
Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, because in this world also
10:11
Speaker 1: right now, you have parody accounts that are announce to
10:15
Speaker 1: news that people are picking up, and fan accounts and
10:17
Speaker 1: TikTok creators who were saying things, and I just didn't
10:20
Speaker 1: think it was real. But when I confirmed it to
10:23
Speaker 1: be real, and I'm listening to, you know, the news
10:29
Speaker 1: reports just about what's happening, it's scary. It's scary to
10:33
Speaker 1: just see and again, someone died in this situation, So
10:38
Speaker 1: I think, you know, not even think. I know, it's
10:40
Speaker 1: always going to be a touchy point when you talk
10:42
Speaker 1: about life or death or lack thereof, But I do
10:48
Speaker 1: think that the bigger conversation that has been happening from
10:52
Speaker 1: this and from Kimmel's comments are freedom of speech and
10:57
Speaker 1: even if that is a thing, and what happens when
10:59
Speaker 1: people are not allowed to have that. So that's just
11:02
Speaker 1: been scary for me, especially because i feel like I'm
11:04
Speaker 1: just now. I've been doing things for a while, but
11:08
Speaker 1: i feel like I'm just now starting to hit my stride.
11:10
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, like y'all coming for the girls now,
11:13
Speaker 1: I've just got here.
11:15
Speaker 2: Now.
11:15
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm not a political talking head.
11:18
Speaker 1: I'm not a you know any of that, but there
11:21
Speaker 1: are things that I express my opinion on when it
11:23
Speaker 1: comes to politics. So just from personal experience that this
11:27
Speaker 1: is a scary time right now, let's just say that.
11:29
Speaker 1: So after kim Will happened, you know, there's been all
11:33
Speaker 1: these conversations and then the FCC chairman, a guy named
11:36
Speaker 1: Brendan Carr.
11:37
Speaker 2: Got on a podcast.
11:39
Speaker 1: So he was on the show this week called the
11:42
Speaker 1: Scott Jennings Radio Show, And on this show he talked
11:46
Speaker 1: about ABC's The View and basically how they might be next.
11:50
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
11:51
Speaker 3: Well, if you can be unfunny, that's fine.
11:55
Speaker 5: And a lot of people are sure of saying that.
11:56
Speaker 3: Well, people are punishing Kim On because they don't like.
12:00
Speaker 5: A joke that he told.
12:01
Speaker 3: But you know, we don't need to rehash it here valously.
12:03
Speaker 5: What he said was not a joke.
12:05
Speaker 3: It wasn't presented at all that way. But when you
12:08
Speaker 3: look at these other TV shows, what's interesting is the
12:10
Speaker 3: sc does have a rule, all the equal opportunity rule,
12:15
Speaker 3: which means, for instance, if you're in the rub to
12:17
Speaker 3: an election you have one partisan elected official on, you
12:20
Speaker 3: have to give equal time, equal opportunity to the opposing
12:24
Speaker 3: partisan politician. So far, so good.
12:26
Speaker 5: But there's an exception to that rule, all the bonafide
12:30
Speaker 5: news exception, which means, if you are a bonafide news program,
12:34
Speaker 5: you don't have to abide by the equal opportunity rule.
12:37
Speaker 5: And over the years, the SCY has developed a body
12:39
Speaker 5: of case law on that, and its suggested that most
12:41
Speaker 5: of these late night shows other in SNL are bonified
12:45
Speaker 5: news programs, and potentially, I would assume you could make
12:48
Speaker 5: the argument that the View is a bonified news show,
12:51
Speaker 5: but I'm not so sure about that, and I think
12:52
Speaker 5: it's worthwhile to have the SCC look into whether the
12:59
Speaker 5: View in some of these other programs that you.
13:01
Speaker 3: Have still qualify as Spotify news programs and therefore exempt
13:06
Speaker 3: from the equal opportunity for heeing that Congress.
13:09
Speaker 5: Is put in place.
13:10
Speaker 1: Now this is a bit scary, it's a bit scared
13:15
Speaker 1: because you have to think. Okay, So the equal time
13:18
Speaker 1: rule that he's talking about is basically a rule that
13:21
Speaker 1: is set as precedent by the SEC, which basically says
13:24
Speaker 1: that you have to have you have to allow people
13:26
Speaker 1: of an opposing opinion or from the other side when
13:28
Speaker 1: you're talking about these political things, right, people from the
13:31
Speaker 1: other side, you know, if they're running a campaign or whatever,
13:35
Speaker 1: should be allowed equal time. If they want to come
13:37
Speaker 1: on your platform, they should be allowed equal time. It
13:39
Speaker 1: should be allowed, you know, to push back in all
13:41
Speaker 1: the things. Now, just just some history. The View, which
13:46
Speaker 1: founded by Barbara Walters, is produced by ABC News and
13:50
Speaker 1: because of that, it's very unclear here if what he's
13:54
Speaker 1: even talking about about it being a bonaflie bona fide
13:57
Speaker 1: news platform is even legit. But the whole thing is
14:01
Speaker 1: the fact that that is even a conversation about being investigated.
14:06
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just kind of crazy.
14:07
Speaker 1: Now, ABC, which is where you watch a View, is
14:09
Speaker 1: an FCC regulated network. Now there are different shows that
14:13
Speaker 1: you know, even though they're discussing news and you know,
14:16
Speaker 1: certain things like that, it's more of like it's almost
14:19
Speaker 1: like satire or talk back, like you're not turning on
14:22
Speaker 1: these news programs to be told something first, to be
14:24
Speaker 1: you know, educated.
14:26
Speaker 2: It's more like personality based stuff.
14:28
Speaker 1: It's more almost like I would say reaction like that,
14:32
Speaker 1: like that are generational media for the kids, we would
14:37
Speaker 1: call it like reactionary. So these are these are platforms
14:40
Speaker 1: where you have these talking heads, these talking figures who
14:43
Speaker 1: are given, you know, giving their opinion and you know
14:46
Speaker 1: they may there may be a moderator who presents facts
14:49
Speaker 1: or persons of story, but it's very opinion based and
14:51
Speaker 1: things of that nature.
14:53
Speaker 2: It's not driven.
14:54
Speaker 1: To to educate someone or to change an opinion. It's
14:59
Speaker 1: solely out the there for you to a bunch of opinions,
15:01
Speaker 1: and there are aligned opinions and not aligned opinions. Like
15:05
Speaker 1: the ladies on the View go back and forth on
15:07
Speaker 1: their panel all the time. Not everybody there thinks the same,
15:09
Speaker 1: and it's done that way on purpose. But then you
15:12
Speaker 1: also have shows like SNL where SNL is not you're
15:15
Speaker 1: not turning on SNL to hear a news report of
15:17
Speaker 1: like what's going down? But if you watch SNL, it's
15:21
Speaker 1: because you want to see how are they going to
15:23
Speaker 1: make fun of this? What is the sattire around this,
15:25
Speaker 1: what is their opinion of what was funny on this?
15:27
Speaker 1: But I will say that FCC, the same rule was
15:31
Speaker 1: raised by car about SNL back when Kamala Harris came
15:36
Speaker 1: onto the show. The FCC looked into it, whether it
15:39
Speaker 1: was a thing or not, and granted Trump's organization the
15:44
Speaker 1: same amount of time on the show. Like that was
15:46
Speaker 1: one of the things that happened. So I think it's
15:48
Speaker 1: just scared to even be having these conversations because it's
15:51
Speaker 1: like in violation at all anything of anything FCC and
15:55
Speaker 1: SEC has been governed in television and radio and all
15:58
Speaker 1: these things forever, like for years and years and years,
16:01
Speaker 1: but in violation of any of that, everybody's TV licenses
16:05
Speaker 1: and you know, time slids for question of for grabs.
16:09
Speaker 1: But in a time period where people want more spotlight
16:12
Speaker 1: on your show because you have opinions that they do
16:14
Speaker 1: not necessarily agree with. That is scary as hell, especially
16:19
Speaker 1: as somebody that is like trying to build in this
16:21
Speaker 1: media space, like not even just as like a talk
16:23
Speaker 1: show person, Like I'm talking about storytelling, so like I
16:27
Speaker 1: want to make you know, I was going to say
16:29
Speaker 1: I want to make TV, but now it's like everything's
16:30
Speaker 1: on streaming.
16:31
Speaker 2: But y'all know what I mean.
16:32
Speaker 1: I want to make series, I want to act, I
16:34
Speaker 1: want to write, I want to direct a lot of
16:36
Speaker 1: that stuff. Like the more I get into this, and
16:39
Speaker 1: you know, as I've set out, you know, I look
16:41
Speaker 1: at like Abel Duberne E say, people who are doing
16:46
Speaker 1: storytelling in a really fly away but there's so much
16:49
Speaker 1: intention in direction and influence in what they do. You
16:55
Speaker 1: get scary when you think about stuff like that. People
16:57
Speaker 1: as intentional as that, you know, because they have deeper
17:00
Speaker 1: calling and responsibility. I think, as black creators, even if
17:02
Speaker 1: we don't want to accept that, we do have a responsibility.
17:05
Speaker 1: It's like, men, can you even how do you fulfill
17:08
Speaker 1: that responsibility through your work?
17:10
Speaker 2: When everything is being censored? That is really scary.
17:13
Speaker 1: And it's not even being censored like in fair play,
17:16
Speaker 1: because again the FCC has.
17:18
Speaker 2: Been around for a very long time.
17:20
Speaker 1: There are rules and regulations behind. You know, even on
17:24
Speaker 1: Instagram you can't just post ad You can post crazy
17:28
Speaker 1: things on social media, but there are now social media
17:32
Speaker 1: platforms that do have a certain type of like monitoring system.
17:35
Speaker 1: Like I even sometimes get crazy comments and I'll notice
17:37
Speaker 1: some of the comments are like hidden instantly by Instagram
17:40
Speaker 1: because of the words that they use that they deep
17:42
Speaker 1: harsh or you know, like censorship is there to a
17:44
Speaker 1: certain extent, but it's always been there as a bumper
17:47
Speaker 1: to protect. Now it's like to punish, and that is
17:53
Speaker 1: scary just because someone doesn't agree with you, especially as
17:55
Speaker 1: a young person trying to figure out and.
17:57
Speaker 2: Navigate this whole space.
17:59
Speaker 1: My biggest worry is that because I've always been really
18:02
Speaker 1: excited to even be doing stuff like this, like to
18:05
Speaker 1: be able to be here on this podcast and be
18:07
Speaker 1: talking to you guys and you know, leaving the breakfast
18:10
Speaker 1: club every morning and get coming here and just being
18:12
Speaker 1: able to really get out my thoughts.
18:14
Speaker 2: And my opinion on things and.
18:16
Speaker 1: Provide you guys with you know, we do the stories
18:18
Speaker 1: that we do the rundown, and we do all the
18:20
Speaker 1: facts and all the things, but you really get to
18:22
Speaker 1: learn me hear. In my opinion, this is exciting. This
18:26
Speaker 1: is an exciting time for creators to be able to
18:28
Speaker 1: do that and for the underdogs to really become the legends.
18:32
Speaker 1: It's very scary though, because when you think about what
18:35
Speaker 1: cuts through, not that I think things should be sensationalized,
18:38
Speaker 1: what people should just do or say things to breakthrough.
18:41
Speaker 1: But I do think that authenticity matters. I do think
18:44
Speaker 1: that substance and intention when you pick up the microphone matters,
18:50
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what makes it's like the
18:51
Speaker 1: cream will always rise. Y'all ever heard that saying the
18:54
Speaker 1: cree will always rise? I think that's what like, that
18:57
Speaker 1: is the cream. And right now just feels like, Okay,
19:00
Speaker 1: as we're rising and as these things are happening, what
19:04
Speaker 1: is our life going to be like if we can't
19:05
Speaker 1: get on this microphone and tell the truth? I understand,
19:09
Speaker 1: you know things that are free. Freedom of speech is
19:11
Speaker 1: not free. Nothing is free. My mom has always teld
19:14
Speaker 1: me that ain't nothing free.
19:15
Speaker 2: Baby.
19:15
Speaker 1: Okay, you get a gift from a man, he wants
19:18
Speaker 1: something in return, so either be ready to give it
19:20
Speaker 1: back in return or be ready to say, hey, I
19:22
Speaker 1: don't need this. You got one or two options. Nothing
19:25
Speaker 1: in life is free. But at the same time, I
19:28
Speaker 1: do think that there is a certain sense of freedom
19:33
Speaker 1: of speech is not free because there's consequence. But if
19:36
Speaker 1: I'm doing it with purpose, if I'm doing it with
19:38
Speaker 1: intention and the responsibility we just talked about, I should
19:42
Speaker 1: be able to do it. And right now it just
19:45
Speaker 1: feels like we're not. If the view gets off air,
19:47
Speaker 1: it feels like we can't like we're not. And I
19:50
Speaker 1: will say I was nervous too, because the day that
19:52
Speaker 1: Kimo got suspended, we were all waiting to see what
19:55
Speaker 1: the view was going to have to say. They ain't
19:57
Speaker 1: say nothing, but they finally did. Let's take a listen.
20:01
Speaker 4: Y'all really think we weren't gonna talk about Jimmy Kimmel.
20:06
Speaker 4: I mean, have you watched the show over the last
20:09
Speaker 4: twenty nine seasons, so you know, no one silences us.
20:15
Speaker 4: And to all my friends in Italy who reached out,
20:19
Speaker 4: you have to know it's okay. We're still here. We're
20:21
Speaker 4: still broadcasting. And when the news broke last week about
20:25
Speaker 4: Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, we took a breath to see if
20:30
Speaker 4: Jimmy was going to say anything about it. First we
20:33
Speaker 4: did the same thing with Stephen Colbert. Then our show
20:37
Speaker 4: was on tape on Friday. But we are live here
20:41
Speaker 4: today and we're getting into it now.
20:47
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the view were standing in Tinto's down. Baby,
20:53
Speaker 1: they ain't backing off. You're not gonna get them. I mean,
20:55
Speaker 1: I it's like I'm not surprised. If you watch a view,
20:59
Speaker 1: you know, like they ain't going down without a fight.
21:02
Speaker 1: Even if they were. I don't think they're going down.
21:04
Speaker 1: But if they were a baby, they gonna fight to
21:06
Speaker 1: the very end.
21:08
Speaker 2: Period.
21:09
Speaker 1: But I do, like I hear what they're saying. But man,
21:14
Speaker 1: it does not feel like that free speech is not
21:16
Speaker 1: a real thing. It just doesn't feel like it is.
21:19
Speaker 1: Like I know that it's supposed to feel like you
21:22
Speaker 1: should have the opportunity and you know, things should be
21:26
Speaker 1: uncensored and people shouldn't be able to like the government
21:29
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to patrol and do certain things. But
21:32
Speaker 1: Trump has literally been saying what he wanted to do
21:35
Speaker 1: and doing it for this it's been happening. So to me,
21:39
Speaker 1: it's like it's literally one of them things where it's
21:42
Speaker 1: like damned if you do, damned if you don't, because
21:45
Speaker 1: if you if the view doesn't say anything about this, right,
21:50
Speaker 1: they look like, Okay, well now we're bending to the
21:52
Speaker 1: things that we always fight against. If they lean in
21:55
Speaker 1: and they say too much, Trump won't be all up
21:57
Speaker 1: in there any minute he can get to take down
22:01
Speaker 1: of you. Because he had a whole list of like
22:03
Speaker 1: here's exactly who I want to buy to here, he
22:05
Speaker 1: told us.
22:06
Speaker 2: A long time ago.
22:08
Speaker 1: The media and anybody that was sat on the sat
22:11
Speaker 1: in the position that he didn't really.
22:12
Speaker 2: Care for.
22:15
Speaker 1: There was gonna be free speech is not free to
22:18
Speaker 1: sum this up, okay, And it's one of the scariest
22:21
Speaker 1: things ever getting into an industry where you understand how
22:25
Speaker 1: controlling the mind and the media is such a powerful tool.
22:29
Speaker 1: You talk about nuclear bombs and Trump understanding what the
22:32
Speaker 1: do with nuclear bombs, and you know, nuclear strikes and
22:37
Speaker 1: all the things our president is literally our president is
22:41
Speaker 1: literally taking over.
22:43
Speaker 2: All of our major media.
22:45
Speaker 1: One merger, one firing, one suspension, one FCC wrong comment
22:51
Speaker 1: to the next.
22:53
Speaker 2: That is that's dangerous as well. Like I really, I
22:55
Speaker 2: don't know.
22:56
Speaker 1: I'm like, am I the only when y'all done went
22:58
Speaker 1: back and checked my contract the other day? What happens
23:00
Speaker 1: if I don't have this job? That's scary to think about.
23:13
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, there's always a lot
23:15
Speaker 1: to talk about, y'all. Every single time y'all are right
23:17
