(upbeat music) - Hi everybody and happy Friday. Welcome to the show. It is the end of the week. And today we're here to hang out and talk about Kamala Harris recently doing an interview or shout out, we know what we call it, a fluff with Oprah Winfrey essentially where they just talk about how wonderful Kamala is and how great she is for the country and we're bringing it together. Black women and white women for racial justice and to talk about immigration and to talk about how she's gonna deal with inflation and how wonderful she is and how she's gonna be the first black female president. All these different things circulated throughout this, I think hour and a half show that we got put on in the name of Uniting America, which we can question whether or not that's actually the case and that's actually what Kamala Harris is doing. They brought out a ton of celebrities from Julia Roberts to Chris Rock to also fluff her up and talk about how they're gonna be voting for her and giving their endorsement. They told some lies which we're gonna talk about in today's show. And then from there we're gonna move on to the view which Sunny Hostin, she always surprises me with the things that come out of her mouth. She decided to bring up Britney Mahomes and Britney Mahomes possible support of Donald Trump and she had a very rude comment to make about Britney and her family, we're gonna discuss that at the end of the show, but of course, before we get into all these stories, we have Taylor and Nasha. - Hey, Amala, don't yuck Oprah's yum. Those are Joy, this vibes, Kamala is Brad, we know all this, why do you gotta write on their parade? This is all great stuff, how could you not love it? - Yeah, this was a through line in the entire interview that they did together that Kamala is apparently the picture of Joy and optimism all of a sudden, this candidate that nobody really liked, nobody was in favor of is suddenly the picture of unity and joy and optimism, truly astounding to watch the propaganda machine truly put its work in full force in the name of Kamala Harris. Now we're gonna watch some clips from this back and forth with Oprah. They spent about like the first 20 minutes almost of this entire thing, just setting up Kamala Harris, talking about how good she was, bringing out all these different supporters of different races over Zoom and in person to talk about how wonderful Kamala is and the joy that she's gonna bring for the country and the change that she's going to bring, even though she's been sitting in this administration for three and a half years now, but we don't need to talk about that. Let's watch a clip that's going viral of Kamala Harris talking about her vision of America and American ideals. - We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that's why everybody's here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American. And this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us. Let's come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people. - There it is, we are an optimistic people. - Americans, I care. - I like, I have to pause here on Oprah's face here because a lot of people might say that she's looking at her and sort of, aw, she's astonished by Kamala Harris. I see an Oprah's face and behind her this whole facade that she's putting on of her support of Kamala Harris. She's going, this girl is dumb. This girl does not know what she's talking about. Listen to this politician speak, this vague language that when you go to a psychic and you sit down with them and they're like, I see joy in your future. You're going to meet a wonderful person and they just say all this vague shit to you. It's exactly what Kamala Harris is doing right now. She's not actually promoting a vision. I know that during the debate, Trump said, I have concepts of a plan. This is a concept of an idea about America that she's sharing right now. And I can tell in Oprah's face that she is seeing through this woman, but Oprah's a very powerful woman. And I think she chooses her endorsements wisely. And she knows who she'll have influence over and can puppeteer. And she knows what's going to put her best forward, her best foot forward in this coming election. And it's Kamala Harris, of course. - Director, are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations, we believe in what is possible. We believe in what can be. And we believe in fighting for that. That's how we came into being. Because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country, one of the greatest expressions of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of who we are. - Oh yeah, I want each and every one of you to fight for the ideals of who you are. (laughs) - Oh yeah. - To make decisions about your own body, freedom, to be safe from gun violence, freedom to have access to the ballot box, freedom to be who you are and just be, to love who you love openly and with pride, freedom to just be. And that's who we are, we believe in all that. And so this is a moment where we stand knowing what we are fighting for. We're not fighting against. That's what we're fighting for. - Thank you. (applause) - You know what I gotta say, it's brilliant. It's brilliant what they're doing with Kamala Harris. It is brilliant to turn around that they're doing, the masterminding they're doing behind this woman to really give her that politician's edge of these like awfully vague answers about American ideals and optimism and joy and not fighting against something, but fighting for something. When we couple that with all of her rhetoric about MAGA Republicans or Donald Trump being a threat to democracy or literal democracy being on the ballot in this election cycle, she's not fighting against something. She's fighting for something. It's an amazing spin that we get to watch right before our very eyes as they look you in the face and say that they think you're stupid essentially. And we see the record that Kamala Harris has as a VP and the record she has before becoming vice president of the United States. And she's not done a lot of good for America, but I love that she's optimistic about what can be. I love that she's thinking about what can be unburdened by what has been, you know? I love that that's where we're going moving forward and I wonder what changes she's gonna make that she hasn't been able to instill quite yet once she's president because we're dealing with a lot of issues right now, but I'm so glad that you are optimistic. And when people call this word salad, I could see, you know, she's making some points in there. I could see how the left in watching this, if you're supportive of Kamala Harris, you think she just answered that question wonderfully and she is, you know, going to be a candidate of unity in the face of all the different divisiveness that we are witnessing right now in this country. But you need to look further into who's really creating that divisiveness and she has played a strong hand in it for quite some time, but because her campaign needs to usher itself in the direction of unity, she is now the unity candidate. It's word salad at the end of the day. I see a lot of you commenting that in the chat down below. That is what it is. She's doing a little bit better at putting her word salad together, you know, she's not doing that. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree thing anymore? And I think that's the product of good training and a strong team, a team of which, you know, many of whom don't like working for her. I can't tell you how many people left working for Kamala Harris because of how much of a struggle it was to work for this woman. And they have so many firsthand accounts of people who said she's a terror to work for and with. But here we are, guys. And she has a oppressed endorsement, if that means anything to you. - She did resist the temptation when she said that Americans are dreamers of what can be. She did not finish with the unburden by what has been, which we've seen so many times from her. So, you know, the media trainings working, we didn't hear as much of the the cackling either. But yeah, ultimately a lot of this rings hollow and feels very, very vapid, vacuous, if you will. I especially what what irks me is the co-opting of the idea of freedom and applying that to freedom is about not getting ID at the ballot box. Freedom is about promoting gender ideology to children. Freedom is about unrestricted abortion of any kind. Those freedom is about depriving people of their Second Amendment rights so that they don't have recourse against tyranny. It's kind of inverting the actual freedoms that all those things provide freedom from indoctrination of gender ideology and school freedom from a tyrannical government that controls your life and having recourse against that. And yet she's able to steal that word of freedom and apply it to these ideas which are in no way very free. And the other thing that bothered me was when she said, she's talking about how being an American is a privilege but she hasn't really treated being American as being a privilege in her tenure as vice president by importing over 10 million illegal immigrants usually when something's a privilege that means that accompanying that privilege you've earned it somehow by showing some respect, by demonstrating an amount of responsibility. And instead you're treating this freedom to be an American, this privilege of being an American more as a right that you're bestowing on millions and millions of people who've done nothing to demonstrate that they can assimilate into our culture, that they won't be an economic drain, that they'll be safe, et cetera. So yeah, it's amazing how nice sounding and puffy and fluffy something can come across. But if you actually look critically into the substance of what is being said, it is very sinister and much the opposite. - Yeah, and I'll be, you know, it pains me to say this. As I'm watching this play out, there's a very good chance. This is the next president of the United States. Very good chance. And she's gonna win with all these unifying words and this language that she's using and then just it's going to be just an insane, an insane four years under her leadership. Now, I said there was celebrity endorsements, celebrity showed up and showed out for Kamala Harris when she spoke to Oprah. And let's take a look at who those celebrities are. We have Brad Kranzied first. - Brian Kranzied! (audience cheering) - I hear Chris Rock is in the house. Chris, where are you? Chris Rock is in the house. (audience cheering) Pinstiller, Jennifer Lopez, Tracy Ellis Ross. (audience cheering) - You give it a dress, do you give it a dress? - Get out of the house! - Where are you Jennifer? Yes! (audience cheering) Tracy Ellis Ross, where are you? Tracy Ellis, where are you? I'm on the screen, Tracy Ellis. (audience cheering) Julia Roberts, where are you? (audience cheering) And this narrow street is in the house. (audience cheering) So glad to have all of you familiar. So glad to have all of you familiar faces in the house tonight, all of you celebrities that are not in touch with the actual reality of being an American citizen who is living a normal American life, but I'm glad that you're here to give out your endorsements. And a lot of these endorsements were really hollow, I think Chris Rock, here's what he had to say about why he is going to be moving forward with an endorsement of Kamala Harris. - I've always been a fan of Kamala, even back when she was running for, I remember writing her a check when she was like the district attorney for something, maybe it was to get out of a parking ticket or something, but I've been right. - I do want to know what that check was for. Why have you already checked Kamala Harris? What's going on there? - I haven't checked for a long time and I just want to, I want to bring my daughters to the White House to meet this black woman president. (audience cheering) That's a reason, that's a reason. I think she would make a great president. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she would make a good president. Follows, I just want to see a black woman. I just want my daughters, who presumably, they're black, I want to bring them to the White House so that they can meet a black female. Yet we will consistently run in this debate that between conservatives who say Kamala is a DEI candidate and the left, she says she isn't. Meanwhile, we're saying I just want to bring my daughters to the White House to meet a black woman. - If that is the reason you are voting for Kamala Harris, I desperately urge you to reevaluate, I'm sure if you want to see a black female president, we could find a better one down the line. And that should not be the focus. The race and the sex of the person who is sitting in the White House should be of no matter to you whatsoever. This is not something that we should be focusing on and legitimizing as far as why we choose specific candidates, but of course for Chris Rock, that is the case, and that's what he had to say as far as his endorsement for it is so, so shallow. Yet when you raise your hand and go, that sounds like DEI. It sounds like you're pedestalizing somebody based on a superficial identity characteristic like race rather than their actual accomplishments and what they're capable of achieving. They go, oh no, no, no, no, absolutely not. That is not what we're doing. And then when Donald Trump says something like, all of a sudden she's black, like she's turned black and people run with this as some sort of racist remark from Donald Trump, it does sort of seem that way. Like all of a sudden we're focusing on this woman being a black woman and that is so important to her character and her experience and who she is and who she's going to be as the next president of the United States. You really did shift the narrative on her quite a bit and start focusing on her race. So when he says something like that, we could regard that as a racist remark or we could regard it as a recognition of reality and what's happening in the propaganda about Kamala Harris. Now, here's what Julia Roberts had to say about her vision for America. - Thing, but this has become such a global representation of our country and what we stand for and I get to travel internationally a lot. And I want people to say, oh, you're American and not, oh, how's it going over there? You know, so I want to get back to that space. - Exactly. Thank you, Julia. - Thing, but. - I just don't even know what to say to that. Consider, again, I know people hate when this argument is brought up. Kamala has been right there for the past three and a half, four years. So what is it that makes you think putting her in the presidential seat is going to bring about this new view towards America when she's been responsible for the views on America, overseas, internationally, whatever it is that she wants to say, for quite some time. I mean, we're talking about a drug crisis. We're talking about law and order and crime in our major metropolitan areas. We're talking about homelessness, at least in my state of California, that is running rampant. It is absolutely insane. We're talking about an immigration crisis with millions of people being funneled through our southern border. And we have a candidate in Kamala Harris who was saying, "I'm gonna grant them "temporary protective status because they need to be protected. "They need to feel secure, not American citizens, "but illegal immigrants who are entering this country "on an illegal basis." And then choosing to go on to not follow the other laws and systems that are set in place in our country. We're talking about a failing education system that no matter how much money we're funneling into it, students are continuing to fail. We're talking about indoctrination in schools, which Kamala Harris is clearly a supporter of. In this vague language of having pride and who you are and who you love, she's talking about indoctrinating children. I could go on and on and on with a list of reasons why this woman should not be president. But these celebrities will come forward and tell you about their feelings. I feel like I want to take my daughters to the White House and see a Black woman. I feel like I want to travel internationally in my charter jets and in my first class seat. And when I go overseas, I want foreigners to talk about how much they love America instead of asking me what's going on in America. It's just such a ridiculous reason to want somebody to be the leader of the free world. And of course, it's difficult for them to come up with real reasons because there's nothing to substantiate, really support for Kamala Harris other than you have like Trump's arrangement syndrome and you don't like him because you've watched her in action for how long now we know she wasn't a popular candidate. I say this all the time, but if it was up to the Democrats' choice, it would never have been Kamala Harris. So the only way we're getting here is through sheer propaganda and just like, I don't know, suspension of disbelief in this candidate, disbelief that we all collectively shared for a long, long time. - At 12 of the last 16 years, it's been under Democrat control. So that's the party that Julie Roberts has supported and supports for another. So if we just elect them for 16 out of the last 20, I guess then that's going to magically improve America's reputation on the world stage. There it is Kamala. - Yeah, and I mean, I don't know. I'd be curious to see how people outside of the US, if you'll comment down below how you guys are viewing Kamala Harris as a candidate. I do often meet people who live outside of the United States. And of course the news that they're getting outside of the United States is going to come mainly from sources like ABC, CNN, these are left-leaning sources. So their characterization of America, I think in a lot of ways is not a reflection of the reality of what's happening here. And it is a very one-sided view. So I could see how Julia Roberts is traveling internationally and people are going, oh, how's it going over there? I hear America's crazy because you're only gonna get the most salacious things that are happening here and from a left-wing perspective. So you have that to deal with. Plus, let's be honest, a lot of people just don't like America. A lot of people living outside of America just don't like America. So I think people have a tendency to lean in that direction of their criticism. Now, Meryl Streep went on to really honor Kamala Harris. She referred to her as President Harris and then sort of went, oops, oopsie, I accidentally called you the President. And then she said from my mouth to God's ears, of course insinuating, please, please, please, make her the President or our dear Lord. And then she went on to ask Kamala how she feels that she will win the election and Donald Trump will deny the election. And they gave this whole setup for January 6th and calling him an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy. But we're the unifiers, right? We are the party of unity. We are the message of unity. I'm just gonna say, I'm not buying it. And I've never bought it from Kamala Harris. The only thing that me and Kamala Harris have in common is five letters in our name, okay? Five letters in our name is what I have in common with that woman and that's about it. And I'm leaving it there. The lies that are being spun and very artfully so are just astounding to me. And I do fear that if there's not enough people around debunking her and calling her out at every single moment that she's lying, the lie will be said enough times that it becomes true. And I think we're in that moment right now where they feel emboldened to look you dead in the eyes and lie to you. And we're gonna talk about a lie that Kamala and Oprah push forward in their back and forth about abortion. Of course, this is a hot button issue. A lot of people are single issue voters and reproductive rights and abortion and the pro-life pro-choice debate is at the very top of their priority list. Now, we're gonna talk about the name Amber Thurman. This is a name out of Georgia and it's unfortunately a young woman and a young mother who lost her life and abortion is at the heart of this devastating fatality. I'll let Kamala Harris and Oprah set this story up and we'll debunk it, okay? So we have that to look forward to. - Georgia made national headlines. Amber's case came to light through the reporting of journalist Kavita Serana with ProPublica. And so listen to her story. - Two years ago, 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman, a medical assistant and a single mother to a six-year-old boy, bound out she was pregnant. Amber had just secured her own apartment and was thinking about going to nursing school. She made the decision to terminate her pregnancy. A strict abortion ban had recently taken place in her home state of Georgia, which caused Amber to travel to North Carolina for the procedure. Traffic made her miss the appointment so the clinic gave her medication but are known as abortion pills. Once back home, Amber experienced profuse bleeding, vomiting, severe pain. She eventually passed out. Her boyfriend called for an ambulance. At the Georgia hospital, Amber's condition deteriorated quickly. In a rare occurrence, it was discovered her body had not expelled all the fetal tissue and an infection was spreading. Official Georgia State Medical Expert Analysis of her case says Amber should have received a life-saving D&C but doctors waited 20 hours before deciding to take her to surgery. Amber's blood pressure had taken a dive or organs had started failing. In the operating room, her heart stopped. On the way to surgery, Amber's last words to her mother were, "Promise me. You'll take care of my son." - Okay, so they ran with this story. They actually had the family of Amber Thurman there to talk to Oprah and Kamala and to talk about this devastating impact that the loss of a family member has had on their lives, especially a mother of a six-year-old boy. Absolutely devastating. And of course, we hope that Amber would have been able to receive the D&C, the dilation and curitage that she would have needed to hopefully relieve the infection and subsequent sepsis that she was experiencing in her body due to the abortion pill. Now, other people have run with this story. We're gonna show one more video. This is on TikTok, it got nearly 3 million likes talking about the Amber Thurman case and the effect that apparently pro-life legislation played in how this ended up playing out. Let's watch. I didn't know that a woman in Georgia took abortion pills and experienced a very rare complication where there was still fetal matter left over inside of her uterus. And so she got an infection and she showed up to a North Atlanta hospital hoping that they would perform a very common routine procedure to clear out that fetal matter and clear out the infection. Except in Georgia, they made this procedure illegal with very few exceptions. In fact, a doctor can face up to 10 years in prison before performing it. I would preface this by saying I was born and raised in Atlanta, I am telling you North Atlanta hospitals are very well equipped. This 28 year old woman with a six year old son sat in pain in the hospital as doctors watched her infection spread. And they waited and they waited and they waited and then her organs started shutting down and then they waited. And then they performed the surgery, that woman died. A Georgia committee ruled it was completely preventable. This is what happens, this is what people have been warning about with Republican led Trump led abortion bans. Doctors are too scared to do their jobs. Half our counties don't have OBGYNs. We have one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, the United States has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world. If you're a doctor in Georgia, why would you risk performing that procedure until it's too late? This is America. What is this, a 28 year old who is gonna go to nursing school has this outcome? Okay, that's interesting. Now, let's talk about this and let's really use our logic here in everything that we've heard, even if we just go off the story that we heard from Oprah and Kamala and this young man on TikTok. And I say this as somebody who is not a staunch pro-lifer, so I'm not even gonna hear the rebuttals and people who are calling me religious that, pro-life, that, no, not the case. You can't throw that at me here. So let's talk about Amber. She did receive an abortion, okay? She traveled, she got the abortion pills. She took 'em and two different medications here, okay? So there, the death occurred, okay? Of these children that she was carrying, it was twins, and I believe she was at nine weeks in her pregnancy. So an abortion was performed. What happened is all of the fetal tissue did not dispel out of her, some was left over. Now, they're calling this a rare occurrence. This is, in fact, not a rare occurrence when you're going through chemical abortions and taking pills with the intent of aborting a fetus. And in this case, two fetuses, which I imagine is a little bit of an added risk with her case. So not all the fetal tissue is taken care of. She develops an infection. Of course, infections can lead to sepsis, which can lead to organ failure, shock, all of these horrific things down the line. She heads to the hospital. The hospital checks her out, determines what is happening, schedules her for a DNC the next day, the dilation in curitage, where they will go in and not perform an abortion, as she has already taken the abortion pills. They will go in, dilate, and remove the tissue within the uterus and hopefully take care of the infection. Now, the hospital placed her on multiple antibiotics to start treating the presumed infection that she had. And as I said, scheduled her for the DNC the next day, which I think come to find out would have been a major mistake. They should have done the dilation in curitage as soon as possible. Now, a lot of people are saying the doctors did not perform the DNC because they were worried about the laws in Georgia. There is, in fact, no evidence to substantiate that the doctors did this because of some sort of anxiety about the law, not a single piece of evidence. So ask yourself why people are running with the narratives that the doctors waited because they were worried about being arrested and put in prison for 10 years. Truly ask yourself that question. Is it maybe that they are using this emotional story of the horrific death of a young mother to substantiate their own opinions and to push forward a certain political candidate? I would presume so. Now, even if, let's run with their narrative and go off what Kamala and Oprah said in this young man on TikTok, the doctors were super anxious about being put in prison for 10 years, for performing a dilation in curitage on already aborted fetuses and just taking out fetal tissue that was left behind in the uterus. They were really worried about going to prison for that. If you go ahead and look into Georgia abortion laws, you will find this. And here is it in regard to abortion. Abortion is legal in Georgia until the presence of a detectable fetal heartbeat, which at this point, Amber would have already taken two abortion medications. This is just leftover fetal tissue. Now it says here, the state provides exceptions to its abortion ban in the following cases, medical emergency, which is exactly what Amber was experiencing. Plus you have medical futility and rape or incest. So nowhere in the Georgia law on abortion is this a case where the doctors should have held back and not performed a DNC, especially since it's not necessarily an abortion in the first place. So they are utilizing this woman's story. They are utilizing her family. They are bringing them out to these videos and Oprah interviews to talk about their daughter, and they are blatantly misleading the family. Now, was this death preventable? It does seem so, of course, with hindsight. Now I can't speak to the mindset of the doctors. I don't know what it was as far as the information they were privy to as far as her case. I don't know when they got scans done on her. I don't know when they got blood test results on her. I don't know how risky they thought the DNC would be. I don't know how volatile they thought her situation was. But this has nothing to do with Georgia law. So we can start looking into malpractice or negligence on behalf of these doctors because it seems like a failure to triage properly in the situation rather than anything that has to do with the current laws on abortion in Georgia. Yet they're going to run with this narrative that the laws led to this young woman's death. And you have to ask yourself, why, why? And I will raise my hand right now and say, absolutely, she should have received that dilation in curitage as soon as she possibly could have. But we don't know all the information in this case. We've yet to hear from the doctors who took care of her. And yet we're running with this and we have TikToks that are getting 3 million likes and we have Oprah Winfrey also pushing forward and perpetuating a narrative that this was due to laws and blaming Donald Trump for the death of a 28-year-old mother. Please make that make sense. They are trying to manipulate you. And we saw this really play out in the debate recently between Kamala and Trump. And I noticed immediately that in her working up to this debate, in the practice and rehearsal she was doing for this debate, she must have been told by her team in a coordinated effort to really focus on personal stories. She spoke about women who are traveling alone on buses with no friends and no family to receive abortion. And she couldn't really cite actual stories so she made up these stories of women who are taking a lonely journey to receive abortion. And now that they have one that they can lean on, they're running in this direction. And it's really a failure in Amber Thurman's case that you're able to run with this without actual evidence because now you've already placed her case in a category without it being properly investigated and without actual evidence about the conclusion that you've come to. What if this is a malpractice case? And we need to get better about determining when dilation and curitage needs to take place in these cases, especially since so many women are being sent home with abortion pills. You are now leading to a lack of investigation in finding out what should have actually happened in this case, which is not holding people accountable because you're using it for your own agenda. It is truly disgusting. Now, have this been an actual case where a woman had died due to the abortion laws 100%. Elevate it, talk about it, let's open up a discussion and see what we can do about it. But this is not the case to be utilizing and to bring out a grieving family who you've convinced their daughter, their niece, their mother died because of these laws is disgusting. And that's all I gotta say about that. But I've watched so many disgusting things take place in the name of politics, in the name of power, in the name of receiving votes. So this is just another day at the office. Now, talking about disgusting and disrespectful things you can do, we're gonna tone it down a little bit. This is not as disgusting as using the fatality of a mother to support your own agenda. This is Sunny Hostin talking about Brittany Mahomes, for those of you who don't know Brittany Mahomes. She is the wife to Pat Mahomes, who is the QB of the Kansas City Chiefs. Brittany Mahomes recently found herself in controversy because she liked a post from Donald Trump on his Instagram, a post where he laid out his policy prescription for the United States of America. People were hopping on Instagram and seeing Brittany Mahomes like to post from Trump. She must be a Trump supporter. How disgusting, we must like leader and flog her in the town square for liking an Instagram post from Donald Trump. And Sunny Hostin had to comment on this. And it seems as though she was actually urged not to talk about it in the way she did on the view. For those of you who don't know how the view works, these women probably meet in the morning. They and their teams will bring together stories that they wanna talk about and they will discuss talking points in the sort of preset nature before they go out and do the performance that you guys end up seeing on TV. So presumably they talked about Brittany Mahomes beforehand and Sunny Hostin was told really not to go in this direction, but decided to anyway, so let's hear what she has to say. - Yes, and that doesn't make me hopeful. Actually, that this is the fact, we'll speak to more women about the true character of Donald Trump and we'll turn them away. But to your initial point, I know you said we weren't gonna talk about it, but I was. It just seems to me that since she is in an interracial marriage, she should have known that to support a racist is problematic. Her children are biracial and her family is one of the families that in the 70s could not have lived in any of Donald Trump's buildings. So it just seems to me that maybe she's just not that politically savvy or maybe she's just not read in, but it's wrong with her. - All we know is that she liked a Trump post. We don't know, she hasn't stated that she supported him, but that's fair to interpret that she may have, but we don't know that she's a supporter of. (upbeat music) First of all, what, I mean, to the last lady, and even if you did know that she's a supporter, what Sony Hostin just said is disgusting and disrespectful. It very well could be that both Britney Mahomes and Pat Mahomes are Trump supporters. So what are you going to say to somebody within both parties of the interracial relationship are Trump supporters? I'm an interracial person, I'm a Trump supporter, at least in this case between these two candidates. So what are you talking about? And to look people in the face and say, because you're a certain race, I think that you should have a certain set of political beliefs. It's just astounding to me. And Sony Hostin seems to never learn her lesson, no matter how many times she's smacked in the face with facts and evidence, it just doesn't seem to hit for her. And she is so dedicated to her own ideology that she can't see through it or past it for more than two seconds. It's a really disgusting thing to bring Britney Mahomes' marriage and family into a discussion of her perceived political views because she liked an Instagram post. And she leans on this idea that Britney Mahomes' family would not have been allowed to even stay in any of the different Trump facilities in the '70s. And this is because Trump was actually, I believe sued, because there were allegations that he would not rent out spaces or allow black people into his hotels and businesses. And they had brought up a property manager who said that Trump was responsible for this. This was actually a sort of top-down command that I'm not allowed to do this with black families. Now, I can't speak to whether or not that was actually the case. They deem this to be true in the '70s and, of course, put out this whole racial narrative about Donald Trump since then and have accused him of being a racist. But I've seen that man do a whole lot for black people since then. So I'm not sure where the racism currently stands. I can also bring up this story. If we're gonna bring up the 1970s with Trump and his apparent impact on black people who wanted to rent or wanted to stay in his facilities, Donald Trump actually found himself in a bit of hot water in Palm Beach at his Mar-a-Lago estate establishment where in West Palm Beach, if you were Jewish or black, you were not allowed to be a member of these clubs. You were not allowed to participate. It was part of the culture there. It was very a racialized area and situation to be in. Donald Trump actually said, you know what? No, we're not gonna do this. And again, this is in the 1990s. I'll show you here. Donald Trump insisted on including Jews and black people at the Palm Beach golf course in the 1990s. Now, you'll see here, this is obviously 20 years past, whatever these 1970s allegations are. It says Trump shot back with maximum effort as reported by the Washington Post, Mary Jordan and Rosalyn Helderman on November 14, 2015. Quote, Trump undercut his adversaries with a searing attack claiming that local officials seem to accept the establishment of the established private clubs in town that had excluded Jews and blacks while imposing tough rules on his inclusive one. It says, the Washington Post also reports that Trump lawyers sent every member of the town council copies of two classic movies about discrimination, a gentleman's agreement about a journalist who pretends to be Jewish, to expose anti-Semitism and guess who's coming to dinner, a white couple's reaction to their daughter bringing home a black fiance. So, okay, this man who was apparently according to a property manager at the time saying, we're not gonna rent two black people. Not even like 15 to 20 years later is sending copies of movies about racial discrimination to town council members and saying, guess what? You guys can engage in your little like racist boys club where you don't allow Jewish people and you don't allow black people into your establishment. Mar-a-Lago is not going to be that. And since then, and probably before then, as these are just narratives that they like to run with, I'm not seeing much evidence of this man being a racist. And for you to assume, because Brittany Mahomes is married to somebody of a particular racial identity and has kids that are interracial, that that needs to inform her support of a particular political candidate or party. Makes you ignorant. She is not ignorant as they're trying to assume she is in this sort of condescending manner. Maybe she's not politically savvy. She is not the ignorant one. You are the ignorant one. It's crazy, 'cause I don't know how many times Sunny Hostin needs to be like debunked or like brought to task over the thing she says. She never ever learns. Not once. - And if we're talking about racial infractions from 1973, where was that energy with Joe Biden, who she's been chilling for for the past three and a half years? In 1973, Biden said the two party system is good for the Negro. He also said, "You can't go to a 7-Eleven or Dunkin' Donuts unless you have an Indian accent. Eulogize KKK member Robert Purd in 1977 and said, "Unless we can do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, that jungle being a racial jungle." And of course he's did the funeral vote for me. You ain't black thing. So even after all that though, I mean, those are like things that have been dug up on Joe Biden. I don't necessarily believe that Joe Biden's a racist. I mean, he's obviously said some off-color things. But it's just such bad faith to go after Trump for this thing from 40 years ago now. And not to mention, I also just looked up a quick NPR article before we spoke about this. And that article from 2018 says that the case was eventually settled two years later after Trump tried to countersuit the Justice Department for 100 million for making false statements. It was never proven that an order was given on the part of Trump to discriminate against black tenants. And it was never proven that he had any knowledge that that was going on and he had never had to admit any false. So I don't know what the statutes or what constitutes slander in this case, but I may be be watching out if I was Sony Hostin, but also just the asymmetry there between the Trump and the Biden infractions, which are arguably, you could say if it's bad, it's worse on Biden's side than this for his case. I just, where are you at, Sonny? Where are you at? I mean, you're also looking at Biden, who when they wanted to desegregate schools, he was like, no, I don't want that. He adamantly fought against the desegregation of schools. So it's just crazy to watch this play out. And we, of course, Donald Trump appeared on the view in the past and the view kissed his ass. They're like, oh, Donald Trump, you know, we love you. We know you're such a great guy or whatever. I don't know if it's because he was a Democrat at the time. And now, since he's done the whole party switch thing, they no longer like this man. All it is is that the media, I feel, in essence, gets like a memo of what their stances are supposed to be, and then they run with that. And they run full force with it. And now, Donald Trump is in the dog house and you have to call him a racist and you have to say that he's exercising his white privilege and you have to say that black people shouldn't vote for him. And that is what they'll do. They are media trained individuals who will do whatever it takes to remain in their position. And it doesn't matter whether or not what they're saying is actually true. So if we're gonna accuse Donald Trump of being racist, please, please, first look in the mirror because what you're saying is racist, Tony Hostin. And then secondly, look at your other candidate. And, you know, people say Biden's not the candidate anymore. It's Ms. Kamal Harris. She sat right next to Biden day in and day out for how long now working alongside that man who has way more racist comments in his past than and in his present. Remember, poor kids are just as good as white kids, okay? So in his past and present, far more racialized racist statements than Donald Trump has ever said in his entire life, okay? - Yeah, it wasn't Kamal is saying that little girl was me about being the girl on the segregated bus, two Joe Biden accusing him and implicitly of racism. - Yup, yup. We just have to remember, remember guys, don't let them lie to you enough that you forget what the truth actually is. It's just so crazy to watch it. So disrespectful. I hope Brittany Mahomes responds to Sunny Hostin ringing up her family and her children to make up wait like this. Oh, it's just utterly disgusting. Guys, we're gonna get into your super chats. Let's hear from you. - Eat my family's name, I'll chill. No. - Right. I'm like, damn, maybe Chris Rock needs to get slapped again. Maybe something happened when he got that first lap that made him think Kamal Harris is the candidate that needs to be supported. - Anyways. - I may or may not have seen a bunch of y'all saying that in the chat, but it's neither here nor there. All right, Daniel Santana is back in action, being first in super chats on Fridays. He says hello. - Hello. - Hello, Daniel. Good to hear from you in your usual spot. Spotify 69 just sends a upside down smiley emoji. Thank you. Spotify. - Appreciate it. - G-Dog says Trump's 2024. - Trump's Trump's. - Trump's Trump's. - I guess. - Nice. - All of the Trump's. - I love that. All of the Trump's. - Well, Hakka says happy Friday, guys. I have a question for y'all. Are you okay? Question mark. LOL, I agree. This is very important within families, not from a politician because no, I am not okay. My wallet is not okay. What is she going to do about that? - Yeah, we'll see what's gonna happen. - Yeah, I don't know. She said she's gonna do all these amazing things to reverse the inflation that we've experienced, which will be a first. I would love to see that happen. She said she's gonna put money back in your pocket and she's gonna lower the prices of everything. So we'll see. We'll see about that. - 'Cause price controls have worked so well in every other economy in history. - All right. - Oh, dear. This reminds me, by the way, there was a great, just live chat earlier, not a super chat, but I flagged it 'cause it was so funny. His 90s said, "I don't need joy with star emojis around it. Joy, I need peace and money in my pocket." - Yeah. - Right. - Very true. - And this is like a big thing. During the debates, she was saying like, "Oh, Joy, optimism, his talking points are tired. They're stale. Look at his view of America. He has such a negative view of America. He's such a pessimist. He's so cynical. Where it's like, no, he's being realistic. He's being realistic as to where we are at as a country. And there's nothing worse than like somebody screaming like joy and optimism and smiling in your face and cackling in your face when things are not worthy of joy and optimism at the moment. You need to actually give a prescription as to how we get out of the situation we're currently in. Not look at me and say you're being so negative and cynical for acknowledging the true struggles that American families are going through every single day. And it's working to trick people. They're like, "Oh, look, this candidate of positivity and unity. Well, wait a second. We can have positivity when there's something positive to speak about." Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Amalah, the protests aren't, they're a little fiery, but they're mostly peaceful. It's vibes. It's bright. Not broken. Sylvia P says, "Hi, Amalah and Taylor, greetings from Romania. Finally got to see alive. Not my girl, Meryl Streep voting for Kamala, such a shame." - I know. I remember I did have that like the Britney Spears video where she's like, "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. You're cool." It's like, and I want to be able to say that about Meryl Streep. But no, I can't. I'm sorry, Meryl. This is a bad decision. It's a bad choice. - All right, Jake, yeah. Missy, never meet you here. I was never watch your Hollywood favorite actors advocate for politics. - Yep, ever. - Legit Lee's Belunking says, "We need a love is blind politician edition. Hear their policies before we know their gender or race or whatever, mostly joking, but just imagine." - No, that'd be so cool. Yeah, they have to debate behind a wall and you just have to listen to them. They have voice modification and everything. And then you guys decide who sounds better and what sounds better for your country. And you just don't know what party they are. You don't know anything. That would be great. I would love a love is blind. U.S. election edition. - politics is blind. - Yeah. - Love that. Our day adventure ready says, "Just left theater, watch Matt Walsh's film. OMG, the last 10 minutes were hilarious." - I haven't seen it yet. Taylor's seen it. - I did, yeah. I saw it. I liked it. My favorite part. He goes to this like biker bar in the south with like a bunch of better flags everywhere and talks to the people and turns out none of them really are actually racist. They're like, he's like trying to explain DEI to them and say how we're all inherently racist and blah, blah, blah. And they're like, "No, this is my brother. We all believe the same, bro." And even though they have the external image of, you'd think like the default, and it just shows like the default in like the American psyche tends more toward colorblindness. Yeah, he goes into Orleans and talks to some like, just black people from poor communities and they have the same energy, you know? And it's this new ideology that's being promulgated by Mason Media, Hollywood, et cetera that is turning us from colorblindness into identity politics. - Right. - It's very tragic. - It is. - But yeah, it's a good film. Charlie Roanhouse says, "2024, blessing or curse. My pie in the sky dream. AI makes the internet unusable and we regress to books and face-to-face interactions, isn't it nuts?" - If only, I wonder what that world would look like if something like that were to take place. We'd be like chickens with our heads cut off, I think, for quite some time. - Yes, yeah, screen tablet kid with trolls, big time. But my wife would love that. She's a bookworm. - Yeah. - I would honestly love it too. I would, I need to find a new career perhaps, but-- - Definitely, new career. You come an author instead of a podcaster. - Yeah, yeah. I'm living in an analog world after all this. Okay, let's see. Charlie, while we just read that, Nicodemus 1984 says, "Good evening and good luck with all your, with your elections. No worries. Here in France, we also have quite a confusing mess with every term. I think it's a general situation in the West. Cheers to you, both of you. - Yeah, I was just talking with a French guy about like Marine Le Pen and all that, like how the elections work and, you know, the fact that they did like an election and then it looked like things were swinging conservative and then Macron's like, okay, the snap elections and the snap elections turn back in the other direction. It's like, oh, your system sounds way more confusing than what we have going on here. That's just probably because I'm unfamiliar with it. - Yeah, I don't know. Would you rather have ours like the, you know, two party system with the millions of illegal immigrants and no voter ID in swing states and things like that? Or would you have to deal with snap elections? And if you're, it looks like your preferred sides go to lose so you have authority to call this special election that can swing things and snatch the power from them at the, you know, 11th hour, I don't know. - It's crazy, it totally is. - Tough out there. Nobody can catch a break in the way. In the UK is kind of in a crazy situation right now too. They voted Brexit like time after time and their politicians weren't able to deliver and everything's still a mess. - Yeah, the West is having fun. - Oh boy, anyways, moving on. Josie Z says, "I'm a journalist major writing a review "about Katy Perry's new album today. "I took it to write just because you and your life "helps me mentally prepare." - Aw, that's so fun. I'm glad. - I listened to Katy. - No, I haven't listened to her new album. I honestly haven't listened to Katy Perry in a long time. It was like, one of the boys was a fantastic album and I think she lost that energy pretty quickly. California Girls was okay. And then from there, I don't know. She hasn't made much that's hit for me in a very long time. When your first album can't be beat, that's kind of tough, you know? - Yeah, I've only heard Katy Perry when I'm out at a store in their playing game or like the Super Bowl show where she changed outfits like 17 times, but I don't really know any of her stuff. Anna Eden says, "I don't have anything impactful to add. "I would just like to say these lives are so important. "It's easy to fall for the media machine." Oh yeah, I know, I find myself doing it sometimes and I'm like, oh, wait a second. I'm like, I'll get a different perspective. I'm like, oh wow, if I had not heard this, I would've just totally believed something different for how long, it's just kind of crazy to watch it play out. It's almost sinister sometimes. - Which, and then we watched these jubilee videos or like debates with college students. You just realized like, oh yeah, people just believe this stuff. They genuinely believe what they're hearing out in the heat there, what's on social media, the vibes, the brat. - Yeah, yeah, definitely. - I'm just running with it, it's tragic, it's sad. - It's tragic, it's sad. - It's tragic, it's sad. - B4L3 says, "Hi guys, remember Nina, "the intersex person from jubilee transgender debate. "You said she would come on the show, "was just wondering, ha ha, love you guys." - Nina, oh, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina, Gina. I think I saw that number somewhere. I should get Gina on the show. I totally forgot about that, to be honest. - Oh yeah, yeah, you guys made friends. - Just slipped my mind. It would have to be virtual though, 'cause the studio's very, very tiny. But yeah, I would love that. - Yeah, still open to it. We need to get some guests going again, it's been a minute. - Yeah, it has been a minute. - And I think that was actually our last super chat today. - Okay, guys, thank you so much for your comments. It's been fun hanging out with you. Not so fun listening to the stories. I have to go through the lies, the propaganda. But I'm glad that we're here to discuss it and chat through it with all of you. If you have any thoughts on anything we discussed in today's episode, drop them in the comments down below. As always, if you disagree with anything I said in this video, duke it out. We do encourage healthy debate on this channel, but do so respectfully. And if you like this video, like, subscribe. Click the notification button to be notified every single download I post a video for you guys, which is every day. And tomorrow's video is about a little different. Some TikTok controversy/podcast controversy. It involves Andrew Scholes and James and Fuhad from the "Shits and Geeks" podcast. If you're a flagrant watcher, Andrew Scholes has found himself in a little bit of hot water. For having these two guests on and making jokes about black women. So that's what tomorrow's video is about. We did get a few more super chats, so I'm gonna have Taylor come back. - Okay, yeah, I see dog mama for life here. Says it's an extremely sad day in America when people can be influenced to vote one way or another because of an actor's political opinion. Please, America, research both sides and form your own opinions. - Yeah, it's just like, okay, I got it. You feel good about it. Like, oh, these are some familiar faces that I see on TV all the time. But like, don't forget, like, they're actors. Like, you just see them too, act and stuff. And of course, I'll talk about when, like, when celebrities say something that I agree with or like they are supporting a candidate that I agree with, we could talk about it and talk about their viewpoint and everything. But I'm not like basing my opinions off of what I hear from other people. And I think that's important. It's totally fine that these celebrities support Kamala Harris and they wanna use their platforms to do something that they think is going to better the world and better their country. But I will criticize them when I feel like they're doing the wrong thing. - Yeah, here, Subilele Beshe says, "Good evening, oh well, good night in South Africa." First time ever super chatting. - Oh, very cool. Thank you so much for your first time super chatting from South Africa. That's super unique. - Way from South Africa. - Good night. - Thank you. Timothy W says, "Random question for Amala. Do you like Chappelle Rhone?" Is that what I said? - Chappelle Rhone. - Chappelle Rhone. At first I thought she was kinda overrated, but she grew on me great for working out kind of '80s vibes. - I do like Chappelle Rhone. I think she's super talented. I think she's a really great songwriter. I did get sort of like firehosed with her music. So I'm not listening to it at the moment, but I did listen to good luck babe a lot when it came out. I'm trying to think, "Pink Pony Club," it's a really good song. And she just got a cool vibe about her. I love an artist that really leans into like the artistic expression of like makeup and attire and costuming and all of that stuff. And she really leans into that. That's why I like the 1975, F.K. Twigs, people who really lean into the artistry of putting together a persona and stuff like that. But yeah, she's cool. I just, she only has like one album, so I think I'm just getting firehosed with those songs over and over. And I'm like, "I need to chill for a moment." But she's so good. - And I have seen the name on X and different places here in the airport. I could not name one song or... Yeah, maybe I've heard one and I would recognize it, but... - That's fair. - I'm so out of a loop on pop culture stuff. - You might have seen her 'cause she was going viral because she said like, you shut the F up to a photographer at the VMAs or something like that before she was performing, did you see that? - No, I don't think so. Maybe I'm passing on X or something. - Fair enough, fair enough. - Unless it's something we can use for the show, I'm usually like that. - Yeah, say, swipe, move. - And these are just something work and then we'll react. - Yeah. - Quazakula says, "Simquazie's back. "Cute hairstyle, Amala, politics and woke stuff aside. "What are y'all's predictions of the future? "What will the year 2100 look like?" - Oof, I don't have any predictions. I'm not good at predicting. I know I'll be wrong. (laughing) - Yeah, I think the, I call it the Jurassic Park problem of like technology that you are not ultraly or wisdom wise prepared to handle keeps being invented. So it's not, whether or not you don't stop to think whether you should, you just ask whether you can and whether you could and you'd make it. And I think with like AI and a lot of other developments, we keep accelerating technology like social media and all these things, but we don't have, we're not grounded enough in timeless truths and values and just have a good enough grasp on things that made us have a successful civilization. And I think that those things will ultimately be our downfall if we continue on the current trajectory. And so that's kind of as best I have as a picture of the future, it just does appear that we are continuing to go down that path and doesn't look optimistic, but I am also a person of faith and I do have hope for the future. So we'll see how it all balances out, but yeah. - Fair prediction, fair. - Space Octopus says, "I would love to bring my boys to see a white male press intense." - Yeah, just like such a ridiculous thing to say. Just unbelievable. Like why, how anybody could say, Chris Rock is just amazing. It's just amazing. - That's the, okay, he's inverting Chris Rock. - Yes. - Yeah, it sounds so ridiculous if you just reverse it. - Yes, it does. - Great point. All right, I guess we're handing on that one. - Okay, yeah, guys, what did I say? I told you what tomorrow's video is. Okay, so we got that handled. If you'd like to join us on our next slide, it'll take place on Monday. We're live Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 1 p.m. Pacific, 3 p.m. Central, 4 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Universal time. So you guys can come and hang out with us. We did get one more Super Chat, Austin Williams. - No, you can put it. - First time Super Chatter, I just got back into listening to y'all and I appreciate your views within the political sphere. You guys are great. Thank you for your first time Super Chat, Austin. I greatly appreciate that. And thank you for hanging out with us once again. Guys, have a fantastic rest of your weekend and I will see you tomorrow and I'll see you live on Monday. Bye guys. [BLANK_AUDIO]
