  Speaker 4: What up?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 2:31

  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: You know what the first let me say something, man,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: I just so appreciate you. Man. I watch you on
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: seeing Inn and you just you ain't pulling pulling no punches. Man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: God bless you, thank you to make that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Let me, Are you proud of the comedy comedians you read?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Are you proud of the people that have gone through
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Robert Townson School and Wayne Brothers and Lauren and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the Deaf Jams?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: All those things I think had a direct connection to.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: What you what you did earlier? They were so innovative.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Are you proud of it?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Thank you for?
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: You know that compliment? I mean as an artist, you
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: do what you do. So when you know, when I
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: was creating Partners in Crime, I just wanted a platform
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: to let you know, new voices get out there. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: that was the first time people saw Damon. That was
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: the first time people saw you know, Robin Harris and
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Paul Mooney, and so I think the game, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: the game has gotten even better. And you know, it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: so funny because I look at comedians and it's kind
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: of like in Shakespeare, the fool in king Lear is
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: really the one who's really smart. And it's like the
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: medians say funny, funny stuff, but they joking on the square.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: And so I think there's a new generation. It's really
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: fansome stuff.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Two things I always wanted to ask you every every
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: everything that you've ever done always had a hidden social gem.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Like I remember watching Five heart Beats and they had
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: gone through the South and they were pulled on by
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the police.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Much of what we go through right now, y'all sang
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a sang.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: There was always a moment that was sobering for black people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And everything you've ever done was that delivered or just happenstance.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, here's the thing. As a comedian and
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: as a writer director, I can't just make people laugh.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I gotta make them sing, you know what I mean.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: It's like the same with you. You could just say
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be the funniest man out there. And I'm
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: not going to say anything political, but that's not in
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: your DNA. So for me as a filmmaker, oh, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: got to drop some knowledge. I gotta drop something in there,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And so I have a
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: trojan horse. It's a hitting agenda with everything I work on.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: What they say.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You should know that works by their fruit, you spawnsor
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: hell of a fruit. Man, You've done a great job.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Man there he is, Robert Townsond thank you for joining us.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We sure appreciate that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Big thank you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you, my brother, thank you, thank you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's now time to give it as every single one,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Shoe Boody of the Week award.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Now it's time for the shoe Booty of the Week Award.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: John Mark Burns is an American evangelical minister, televangelist. He
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: said it's a message of Satan, that mean that was
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: an evil spirit in his life and politician. He was
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: an early supporter of Donald Trump during the twenty sixteen
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: United States presidential election, and by twenty twenty three was
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a board member of Pastors for Trump and the Name.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Of Jesus, Execute judgment on you.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: So why is Mark Burns, this week's recipient of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: shoe Booty of the Week Award. Why Trump's holy hype
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: man gets the shoe booty because he's too much of
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: a mess to be blessed?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Can I get a witness?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Thought? The MAGA minister led a ceremony with evangelicals to
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: dedicate a twenty two foot golden statue of President Burger
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: King that cost four hundred and fifty thousand dollars at
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: the Trump Dorel Golf Club in Miami. This is the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: latest case of feeding Donald Trump's ego and his small
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: dictator energy. Just to be clear, the fake bio bishop
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: said the statue was not created for worship. It was
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: created as a symbol of resilience, patriotism, courage, and gratitude.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: If that was the criteria for a golden statue, build
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: one for MLK. Just saying, why here are racist? Comparing
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: this guy to God. It's like calling a houseplant the
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: garden of Eden. Your path to say it, you act
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: like I'm gone to Hell. No, you're going to hell.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I'm not calling him a sellout. But if he thinks
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Trump is a Christian, then Judah, it's just got a
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: bad rap y'all I have. Yet, if he thinks Trump
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: is a Christian, then thou shalt not worship false idols
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: comes with a five year statue of limitations. Are you serious?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: The phrase what would Jesus do now ends with Bill
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: de Walt and tariff the hell out of it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: This pastor is just like Uncle Clarence Thomas, riding with
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a man who is actively dismantling your rights. He's a
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: man who's supposed to teach lessons from the Good Book,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: but all he cares about is his bank book. I'm
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: going to be rich and that's why the shoe Booty
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: of the Week the ward goes to Pastor Mark Burns.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Now here's a swift kick in the ass.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So I deserve that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Man. It's not fair because it's easy to do. Now
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it's time for what you need to Know with the
• 8:00

  Speaker 6: state of Alabama to use a congressional map favoring Republicans
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: in this year's elections, blocking a lower court ruling that
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: the redistricting plan intentionally discriminate against black people. The Justice

• 8:41
  Speaker 6: it adopted three years ago that has a majority black
