  Speaker 1: It's started the donkey as the day. I ain't trying
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: by what they already did. I'm not making these people
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: do these days called Donkey of the day, and it
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: really caught me off guard. Damn Charla Man who got
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Donkey of the day today? Yes, Donkey of Today
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for Thursday, June twentieth, goes to all you individuals I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: saw yesterday on social media upset that Timberland and Swiss
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: signed a deal with X. If you haven't heard, X,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: formerly known as Twitter, announced on June teenth it reached
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a distribution deal with Timberland and Swiss to bring show
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: based content from Versus to x now. X's Inc. Similar
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: deals with the WWE and Range media partners, both of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: which revolve around sports content. X's media deals, according to Forbes,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: are means of supplementing its advertising revenue. Bloomberg projected the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: company was on pace to generate two point five billion
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in AD revenue last year after bringing in more than
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: six hundred million in AD revenue and each of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: first three quarters of twenty twenty three. Big business. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that's just some context to the business. But let's get
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: back to why we're here. I have one simple question,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: How in the hell are y'all criticizing Swiss and Tim
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for doing business with X while being on X. Y'all
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: don't want Swiss and Tim to be on X, but
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: y'all are. Tell me how that makes sense to you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I spoke to a few people yesterday and they all
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was justifying why it's okay for them to be on X,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: telling me things like, we've been here before, Elon bought it,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and I don't make I don't make X no money,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: swissen Tim making their money. If you are a user
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of X, you making X money, knock it off. Okay.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: They get the type of ad revenue they do because
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they have three hundred plus million followers, and if you're
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: an active user on X, you're one of those followers. Okay.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I had someone tell me there is a difference between
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: using X to amplify my voice and paying to use
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the platform to get more eyes on it. So tell
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: so tell me. If you can use X to amplify
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: your voice, why can't swisten Tim use X to amplify
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: their business. Look, if there was a mass exodus of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: black people from X, and I would totally understand everybody's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: complaint would be extremely valid. But y'all over there, Okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: y'all on there right now, y'all gonna be mad at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: me saying what I'm saying and gonna tweet at me
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: on X. Okay, that's probably one of the reasons X
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is an attractive partner for Swiss and Tim because there's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a bunch of black people over there on that app
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: every single day. Yes, I hear all your complaints about
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk. You say he's the man who pushes accounts
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that degrade black people. He attacked DEI, he attacked black doctors,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: black pilots. All valid criticism. Okay, I hear all of it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But if that's the case, why are we on X?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Why are you on X? Why do you use it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: every day? Do you not realize how crazy it looks
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to criticize Swiss and Tim about being in business with
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: X while you are actively on X, not to mention
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you own a tesla. Okay, but that's the story. What
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm simply saying is it's amazing how we can justify
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: our own bs for doing something but get mad at
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: others for doing exactly what we are doing literally using
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: X to voice your frustrations about Swiss and Tim being
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: business with X. And this is not in defense of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Swiss and Tim. Okay, I don't have an opinion on
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: their deal either way. This is about the hypocrisy of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you negroes, and it's a shame we can't see our
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: own hypocrisy. One day we will learn to give each
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: other grace, but I doubt it, I truly do. You
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: can criticize the Elon must call you want. You can
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: criticize him on his platform, that's fine, but he don't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: give a damn because he's getting out of you what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he needs to be successful. He needs subscribers and he
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: needs engagement. As long as he's getting that, he don't care.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So if you really got a problem with Elon Musk,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: if you really don't like Elon Musk, if you really
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: got a problem with X, don't use it. It's that simple.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: It's a choice. Okay. I don't use X because it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not good for my mental health. I don't want to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: be subjected to all those different opinions and thoughts about me.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Are anything else. My team will post stuff on X
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from time to time, and it's all promotional stuff, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I don't personally use it, don't have it on my phone,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't want it on my phone. But best believe Swiss
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and Tim do the right versus. You know, if they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: do the right versus, I'll find a way to watch
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and so will you. And if you are one of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: those people saying I'm not supporting versus anymore if it's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on X, if you're choosing the boycott versus for being
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: on X. If you want to quit versus for being
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on X, but you don't have any of that same
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: energy for X. If you don't have that same energy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you know for them Teslas you drive, thenness he Haw
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is for you. Okay. The moral of the story is
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it is not fair to ask of others what you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: are not willing to do yourself. So if you don't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: want Swiss and Tim doing business with VERSUS, lead by
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: example and you don't do any business with X. Okay,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Oh I said that wrong. If you don't want Swiss
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and Tim doing business with X, you lead by example
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and you don't do any business with X. Okay, Because
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: best believe, if you are an active user on X,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you two are contributing to the business of Elon Musk,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: please give everyone complaining about Swiss and Tim doing business
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with X while being active users of X the biggest
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he hull not run the X and X me they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: call it what they call it now, they still call
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it tweeting. Run well, run the ex and tweet me
