1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,710
The facts with Adam curry for
November 25 2019. This is

2
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:18,480
episode number 16.

3
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:22,020
Now that's an opening

4
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,340
and happy fourth month
anniversary Mo

5
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:32,100
Yeah, we have what's that 16
shows is four months. Yeah, give

6
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,000
or take some change. Yeah,

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,410
pretty much we, man we're moving
and grooving along here.

8
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,800
Man, I'm enjoying every bit of
it.

9
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:46,590
Did Oh my friend Ditto. So today
what is today is the 25th of

10
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:51,240
November 2019. We got a brand
new mo facts with Adam curry

11
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,950
lined up for you and what we
discussed what the topic would

12
00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:59,670
be, which would be I think if I
looked at the clips, we are

13
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:02,250
deconstructing Colin Kaepernick.
Is that right?

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,860
Yes, I've waited to broach this
topic because I knew he was

15
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:11,130
going to be ever evolving story
ever since he came onto the

16
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:16,470
scene. And I think we reached a
somewhat of a climax with the

17
00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:16,980
story.

18
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:21,060
Oh, okay. So you mean the
story's ending? It's over.

19
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:22,020
That's it. It's done.

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,670
Well, well, I think there will
be one more final scene like

21
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:30,360
with any good movie, you know,
um, you have the pick what they

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,660
call the math. Right after the
comic? Oh, the epilogue. Yes. So

23
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:40,740
I think we'll have that that
portion still left. Okay. Well,

24
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:44,250
I think now is we reached the
climax. I think he's completely

25
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:48,720
done with the NFL. And I think
both sides are happy about that.

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,730
Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. All
right. And preface for this. I'm

27
00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:57,660
not a sports guy. So I don't
know really much other than, you

28
00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,270
know, some of the stuff we've
looked into with the social

29
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:05,850
justice warrior angle. So I hope
to learn a lot today.

30
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:10,860
So that's, I'm glad you're not a
sports fan. And I didn't make

31
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:15,210
any assumptions. So what we're
going to do is build up from the

32
00:02:15,210 --> 00:02:21,630
very moment that he refused to
stand all the way up to where we

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,250
asked up today. Oh, perfect.
Excellent. All right, so let's

34
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,440
get right into it. Refuse to
stand.

35
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,710
It's the rare occasion when
sports and politics collide and

36
00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:35,160
an NFL quarterback has certainly
ignited a firestorm. We're

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,950
talking about Colin Kaepernick.
He's the San Francisco 40 Niners

38
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:40,290
quarterback, and he's been
refusing to stand for the

39
00:02:40,290 --> 00:02:43,980
national anthem before all three
preseason games in protest.

40
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:46,770
Ron's here with the reason
behind his activism. And this

41
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:49,200
reaction has been swift from
every side.

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840
It really has no Kaepernick, who
just a few years ago, three

43
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,170
years ago, led the San Francisco
40 Niners to the Super Bowl is

44
00:02:55,170 --> 00:02:57,900
well known for speaking out on
social issues, that what he's

45
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:00,960
doing now is a protest over
police killings of African

46
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Americans is drawing a huge
reaction condemnation from many

47
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:09,030
and support from others. This
morning, the spotlight on

48
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:13,620
football star Colin Kaepernick
for taking a stand by refusing

49
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:17,730
to stand San Francisco 40 Niners
quarterback remaining seated

50
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:20,550
during the playing of the
national anthem at three

51
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:25,050
preseason games. A protest he
says over police brutality

52
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:27,390
against African Americans
kapernick saying in an

53
00:03:27,390 --> 00:03:31,200
interview, I am not going to
stand up to show pride in a flag

54
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,710
for a country that oppresses
black people and people of color

55
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:37,560
adding to me this is bigger than
football, and it would be

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,160
selfish on my part to look the
other way. Yeah, this is how

57
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,230
most people were introduced to
Colin Kaepernick social actions.

58
00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:49,020
But of course, we know this a
little bit more behind the

59
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,730
story. Because I think he was
just sitting down because he was

60
00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:56,430
tired and wasn't in the game, if
I recall correctly.

61
00:03:57,690 --> 00:04:03,510
Actually. Let me give a little
timeline prior to him city.

62
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:09,840
Okay, so on June 4. Colin
Kaepernick sign a record. Right

63
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,160
signed a record six year
extension for $126 million. That

64
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,870
was June 4 on 2014. Then he
asked the problems in San

65
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:25,170
Francisco during that season.
And in November 2 2015, he was

66
00:04:25,170 --> 00:04:33,720
benched. And then that's when we
came into February 26 2016.

67
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:38,670
export trade. And then he came
back the following season. That

68
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:44,010
was the August 26 2016. And he
was noticed sitting, sit and

69
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,100
notice the key words sitting
during the national anthem.

70
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,430
Right? Right sitting not
kneeling sitting on the bench,

71
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:51,120
right? I remember

72
00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:54,420
and that's going to be a very
important detail and we're going

73
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:58,020
to get to that but it was
captured by Jennifer Lee Chan

74
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:02,850
and she was the the photographer
for the San Francisco 40 Niners

75
00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:05,730
actually captured a picture of
him and tweeted it out of him

76
00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:08,040
sitting at the back of the
bench. He wasn't a very very

77
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,760
back on the sidelines sitting on
the bench while the other

78
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,160
players are standing for the
national anthem. So Well, up to

79
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,810
this point he's taking a seat um
from what I thought was I think

80
00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:27,180
he thought think he was just
being a malcontent because he

81
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:31,950
wasn't the starter anymore. He
has had some problems with

82
00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:36,780
injury and I just think that he
I mean, this is my personal

83
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:40,890
opinion and when I cuz I follow
sports that I just took it as

84
00:05:40,890 --> 00:05:46,560
him like I said, being a
malcontent because he didn't

85
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,780
have the starting role that he
was used to right

86
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:54,120
in like a baby. Pretty pretty
much pouting. Yeah, there you

87
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,670
go. Oh, my god like malcontents.
Sounds so official.

88
00:05:57,539 --> 00:06:02,459
So um, Harry Edwards, we have to
look and see who he is because

89
00:06:02,459 --> 00:06:03,929
he's important to the story.

90
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:07,440
Sociologists Harry Edwards has
been an activist from the day he

91
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,590
realized that sport wasn't the
toy department of human life.

92
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,400
Edwards, a professor emeritus at
Cal Berkeley, was the chief

93
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,640
organizer of the Olympic Project
for Human Rights and the guiding

94
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,720
force behind John Carlos and
Tommie Smith 1968 Olympic

95
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,350
protests. Decades later, he's
advised Colin Kaepernick on his

96
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:28,470
protests and publicly advocated
for the quarterbacks returned to

97
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:31,740
the NFL, a former basketball
player at San Jose State,

98
00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:35,310
Edwards first organized protests
at his alma mater. Over the

99
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:38,370
years, he's worked for a number
of sports teams and leaves

100
00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:41,250
consulting on issues of
diversity. Because of his

101
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:44,100
outspokenness, he's received
death threats and been viewed by

102
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,090
the FBI as a national security
threat. As Edward said recently,

103
00:06:48,270 --> 00:06:51,900
the last words out of his mouth
will probably be I protest, he's

104
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:55,170
done in his whole life, changing
the sports world in the process.

105
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,600
Right, and I think Kaepernick
was friends with him or talk

106
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,310
with him or took advice from
him.

107
00:07:02,969 --> 00:07:07,109
Well, he was Kaepernick, quote
unquote, mentor, there you go.

108
00:07:08,009 --> 00:07:12,149
Our advisor, or maybe from the
school of thought I have

109
00:07:12,149 --> 00:07:12,809
handler.

110
00:07:14,490 --> 00:07:16,650
Nice. Yes, of course. Honestly,

111
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:20,700
honestly, we believe Colin
Kaepernick is a useful idiot.

112
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:25,590
Some maybe some have used the
term I've heard in the

113
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:30,180
conspiracy realm of a MK MK
Ultra.

114
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:32,670
Nice.

115
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:39,450
So we've know for sure Mr. Harry
Edwards has been advising him.

116
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,620
And it makes nothing but sense
if he advised him on taking the

117
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:47,430
seat. Because they as I
mentioned in the previous clip,

118
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:50,820
he advised Carlos Edwards not
forget the other gentleman's

119
00:07:50,820 --> 00:07:54,060
name, to make the process that
the six data Olympics with the

120
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:57,960
black black fits the Black Power
Fist. Yep. Yeah. So he was the

121
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:04,860
brains behind that. So this is
where we are. So in the next

122
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:07,650
clip, we're going to hear Mr.
Harry Edwards speak on Colin

123
00:08:07,650 --> 00:08:08,190
Kaepernick.

124
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,970
So what's the next step for
modern day athletes in what you

125
00:08:11,970 --> 00:08:17,040
call the struggle? Now, the
thing is power. And the issue

126
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:24,120
becomes for them, how do we
frame it up, so that we can move

127
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,330
forward and make our
contribution? Right now, Colin

128
00:08:27,330 --> 00:08:30,000
Kaepernick, San Francisco for
tonight as a team that I've been

129
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,230
with for 31 years is the face of
that effort. We have a lot of

130
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:37,680
work to do in terms of trying to
figure out exactly where this

131
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,280
was going to end up in terms of
the framing and how are you how

132
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,360
are you helping him frame that?
Well, basically, it's, it's,

133
00:08:45,390 --> 00:08:50,100
it's an ongoing conversation.
He's very, very bright. Colin is

134
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:55,170
very, very bright. He's very,
very committed. More than

135
00:08:55,170 --> 00:08:59,280
anything else, he wants to have
a constructive impact. He

136
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,380
understands the evolution of
this movement in athletics going

137
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:10,380
back to the pre World War Two
years, he's aware of that. More

138
00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:15,210
than anything else, I tried to
answer his questions, and to put

139
00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:18,690
everything in perspective and
give him a broader handle on

140
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,910
exactly where he is, and what
he's involved in. And as much as

141
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:30,060
anything else. The price, the
cost of what he is doing. And

142
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:31,380
he's good with all of that.

143
00:09:32,069 --> 00:09:35,849
cup. Okay. Oh, interesting. So
he's been briefed on what it's

144
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,389
like to be an activist and I
gotta say, two things about

145
00:09:39,389 --> 00:09:41,729
that. But first of all, Harry
Edwards looks badass. I'm

146
00:09:41,729 --> 00:09:44,909
looking at his picture on the
Wikipedia. The band is like a

147
00:09:44,909 --> 00:09:46,139
shaft guy is.

148
00:09:49,770 --> 00:09:52,620
Yeah, in the goatee. Yeah, and
second,

149
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,570
keep saying Colin,

150
00:09:55,950 --> 00:09:59,880
was that too? I don't know if
it's just a weird pronunciation

151
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:05,040
of His name, but yeah, I picked
up on that as well. But he says

152
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,800
he, Colin almost say calling
myself Colin on was was aware of

153
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,610
the price that it was going to
cost him right. When we look at

154
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,080
Colin Kaepernick, and I have to
say this, up until this point,

155
00:10:22,410 --> 00:10:27,780
before him taking the seat, he
was not known or a little bit

156
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:32,310
before taking the seat. He
wasn't known as a as a activist.

157
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:36,360
Now, he was a GQ pretty boy.
Yes, that's what he was known

158
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:43,800
for. eveness even to the point
where he I can't find a picture.

159
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:47,130
And I've challenged anybody that
I've talked to, I'll give them

160
00:10:47,130 --> 00:10:51,810
$100 To find Colin Kaepernick
and a Trayvon hoodie, or Trayvon

161
00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:56,880
Martin hoodie, because that was
the easiest protest to have on

162
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,110
your social media account, to
you know, when Trayvon Martin

163
00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:04,860
was killed, one of the process
you saw was people taking

164
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:08,430
pictures with the hoodie on,
right, you saw it wave all the

165
00:11:08,430 --> 00:11:13,140
way up to Congress. I mean, you
politicians, everybody, but I

166
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:18,090
cannot find one single picture
of Colin Kaepernick with the

167
00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:20,910
hoodie on now. And that's just
that's strange to me.

168
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:28,230
Do you have a Trayvon hoodie?
No. Okay. Why wouldn't Why would

169
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:30,180
he have one because that was
what everybody was doing.

170
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:35,369
It was everybody. It was like,
it was almost like a challenge.

171
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,839
You know, kind of that kind of
vibe that you had, um, you know

172
00:11:39,839 --> 00:11:45,809
what people would change their
filter on their on their icons?

173
00:11:45,899 --> 00:11:50,459
Oh, socially. Oh, yes. Yeah,
yeah, it was that kind of thing.

174
00:11:50,489 --> 00:11:55,619
It was like, so for him to be a
so called Kournikova activist, a

175
00:11:55,619 --> 00:12:00,419
social justice warrior. And that
to be absent. I just I think

176
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:02,939
that speaks to that. He is new
to this game.

177
00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:06,720
Right. Okay. Agreed. That makes
sense. I do have a picture of a

178
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,300
car. I'm trying to get my 100
bucks. I have a picture of him

179
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,810
and a hoodie. But it's his own
hoodie. It's the deer racism on

180
00:12:12,810 --> 00:12:15,480
not my grandparents. Sincerely
these hands.

181
00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:19,890
Yeah, so you're not gonna You
can post that you can find

182
00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:23,820
pictures, even with him with
Trayvon Martin's parents. But at

183
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:27,420
the time, on his social media, I
haven't found anywhere and

184
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:34,080
nobody has collected the $100.
So Gotcha. So now we have to

185
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,210
look at who all has a vested
interest and common cabinet

186
00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:43,200
being activists. There's a few
people that I want to bring to

187
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,360
light that people may not be
aware of. One of them being Miss

188
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,770
nessa D AB, which is Colin
Kaepernick, girlfriend, Taylor's

189
00:12:52,770 --> 00:12:56,580
the girlfriend. Yes. Before we
get into this, this next clip

190
00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:59,820
about her. I want to give a
little feedback. I mean, a

191
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:05,970
little background on how they
got together. Well, nessa D AB

192
00:13:05,970 --> 00:13:13,530
used to date Colin Kaepernick ex
teammate, all this Smith. And

193
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:16,440
there was a report and I didn't
want to get into the gossipy

194
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,070
side, too much of the story. I
wanted to keep you're just on

195
00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:26,940
the activism, and the political
side that we normally pay

196
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:30,300
attention to. But they
supposedly got into a fight. And

197
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:34,140
it was well reported on several
sports news stations. They got

198
00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:38,400
to our locker room fight and
root cause was behind. She

199
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:45,060
started dating Colin and broke
it off with Alden. So that's how

200
00:13:45,060 --> 00:13:49,890
they came about. So let's just
get into some background on Miss

201
00:13:49,890 --> 00:13:51,300
nessa Diaz. Oh,

202
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,170
I understand that you're dating
Colin Kaepernick he is we're

203
00:13:55,170 --> 00:13:58,170
talking about him a lot these
days. He is amazing. What are

204
00:13:58,170 --> 00:14:01,290
your thoughts on him sitting and
the kind of the controversy

205
00:14:01,290 --> 00:14:02,820
that's surrounding? I support

206
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:07,350
him? 100% you know, and I think
it's amazing that he's able to

207
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:11,610
exercise his freedom of speech.
And I think that that's what

208
00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:15,060
makes being an American amazing
is that we can be open and we

209
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:17,730
can say these things. And this
is something that's important.

210
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,990
And I think that we should use
this to have open dialogue and

211
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:25,770
take steps to make this country
a better place to live in.

212
00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:28,470
Now they don't have like a
conversation before this. Did

213
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:32,340
you know it was coming? Did you
think he ever anticipated would

214
00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:33,870
blow up this big because I mean,

215
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:41,160
you Colin truly feels this he
lives this and it's from his

216
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,730
heart and that's what makes this
so beautiful, because this

217
00:14:44,730 --> 00:14:46,530
wasn't pre planned. You know?

218
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Oh my god that is couldn't
resist for Amazings in there,

219
00:14:53,670 --> 00:15:00,510
and I knew you were gonna do it.
And it was important all kinds.

220
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:02,970
That's just me paying attention
to Well,

221
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,110
no, it's important that you
caught that because we have to

222
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:11,250
do the background on Miss Nessa.
Yeah, she is she's from Cal

223
00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:18,030
Berkeley as well, right Mr.
Harry Edwards got she was a star

224
00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:21,540
student. She started Cal
Berkeley at 17.

225
00:15:21,570 --> 00:15:25,230
And she did she take sociology
classes from the professor

226
00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:26,100
communications.

227
00:15:26,130 --> 00:15:30,780
Oh, communication, right? She's
a popular DJ on one of the

228
00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:37,530
popular urban radio stations in
New York. She went to MTV KTVU

229
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:43,170
BLS. What's I think it was power
power. 95. Yes, power 90

230
00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:44,100
Not to maybe

231
00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:47,250
don't quote me on that. But the
one of the major two I think is

232
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:53,100
10106 95. Wanted to make her to
she was the VJ DJ there. She was

233
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:58,500
on the popular show girl code.
TV. She in?

234
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,260
Doesn't seem you ever seen that
girl code show? Yes. Oh, my God.

235
00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:06,300
It's it's jarring.

236
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,110
It's a fine piece of mocker show
they have

237
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:15,630
going there you go. That's it.
Yes.

238
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:20,790
So in this clip, she says that
her and Colin didn't discuss

239
00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:25,890
this. Wish it either way I read
it. If you want to believe that

240
00:16:25,890 --> 00:16:28,410
they didn't discuss this, then
this was just a spur of the

241
00:16:28,410 --> 00:16:33,480
moment thing he had going and
had no plan as what people want

242
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,550
to paint it as to be Oh, he had
this grand plan to bring social

243
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:43,680
awareness. But I don't believe
that. I don't believe that. I

244
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,060
believe that. It was discussed.
Because just a little

245
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:52,620
foreshadowing here. She, she is
she's gonna play a very active

246
00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:58,140
role in this protest, as we
start going down to clips here.

247
00:16:59,130 --> 00:17:02,280
So I don't think she just got
pulled in at the last minute.

248
00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:02,610
Right. So

249
00:17:02,610 --> 00:17:06,570
this is a data point of view
saying, you know, as we unfold

250
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:11,220
the mind control or whatever it
she could also be a sub handler,

251
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:12,600
I guess is what we're saying
here.

252
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,910
We're gonna get there.

253
00:17:16,109 --> 00:17:22,019
As always, God. No, put on the
goggles. Oh, you're restricting

254
00:17:22,019 --> 00:17:22,529
goggles?

255
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:26,550
Oh, I think yes. I do have to
put those on where I didn't hear

256
00:17:26,550 --> 00:17:29,340
they let me put my glasses on
one second. takes a minute.

257
00:17:31,860 --> 00:17:34,980
Okay, thank you future is now
black.

258
00:17:35,699 --> 00:17:38,279
Okay. Right now.

259
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:44,310
Inside joke Nice. Okay.

260
00:17:47,010 --> 00:17:51,330
So there was one more influence
that the media doesn't talk

261
00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:56,790
about. And that is the Trent,
the transgender female, Mia

262
00:17:56,790 --> 00:17:58,590
Isabella, the other

263
00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:01,290
name that you get linked up with
a lot, and it's especially been

264
00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:03,540
happening more because he's been
in the news, Colin Kaepernick.

265
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,230
Is that something you're going
to be addressing on the on the

266
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:09,360
podcast? Is there a story to
address there?

267
00:18:12,450 --> 00:18:15,000
I'll take my time with that.
Yeah, that's somebody that I

268
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,780
extremely I respect extremely,
you actually care for extremely

269
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,430
think he's an incredible person
that they braveness that he's

270
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:26,640
showing now I admire and I feel
like maybe has something to do

271
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,160
with him making him feel bold
enough to be the kind of person

272
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,920
he's become lately. How did you
do that? We had a great

273
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,770
friendship, great connection.
And we talked a lot. I'll say

274
00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:38,310
that. During the tiger
situation, someone saw some kind

275
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:39,420
of social media.

276
00:18:39,450 --> 00:18:42,660
By the way. I should point out
something that you were like,

277
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:46,770
you were like, Okay, I had this
plan with Tiger. One. I just if

278
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:50,010
we ever got if we ever got
exposed, we would just tell

279
00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:52,680
everybody that we were really
good friends. Oh, shit. And then

280
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,770
I was like, hey, what about
Colin Kaepernick? Well, I'll say

281
00:18:55,770 --> 00:19:00,060
we're just really good. Okay,
well, that kind of explains that

282
00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:01,290
went away and how you want it,

283
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:06,360
right. Okay, this is
interesting. Nia isa Bella. You

284
00:19:06,390 --> 00:19:12,960
set her up as a transgender.
She's a transgender pornographic

285
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,710
actress.

286
00:19:14,940 --> 00:19:16,230
Wow, I didn't know that.

287
00:19:17,250 --> 00:19:20,280
I mean, I'm doing Show Notes
these days, and I'm doing the

288
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040
wiki page. And here it is. Mia
Isabella.

289
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:24,600
Show notes right.

290
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,020
An American transgender former
I'm sorry, former pornographic

291
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:36,090
actress as she won her last AVN
award. She's the adult Video

292
00:19:36,090 --> 00:19:41,880
Awards. Oh, no, she wasn't an ex
biz award in 2014. I guess she

293
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,150
quit the biz after that one. She
she left on a high note.

294
00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:52,290
Well, my question is just for an
hour I'm gonna take her from the

295
00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:59,040
intersectionality standpoint.
Why she not all over the news.

296
00:19:59,790 --> 00:20:04,890
She It would be perfect. Right?
Right. Right. Column stands with

297
00:20:04,890 --> 00:20:11,100
the transgender community. Yeah.
I think I know why because that

298
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,680
would hurt him and other
demographics,

299
00:20:13,710 --> 00:20:19,710
but black men who watched
football pretty much like an

300
00:20:19,710 --> 00:20:22,200
underdog understand that? Sure.
So

301
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:30,420
just leading up to the next
clip, how was she made? Not to

302
00:20:30,420 --> 00:20:33,090
be in the spotlight. But you do
you think

303
00:20:33,090 --> 00:20:34,230
you inspired him to

304
00:20:35,070 --> 00:20:38,100
fired me, I think even during
the situation that I was going

305
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:41,880
through, this was a person who
made sure to keep in contact

306
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,080
with me and made sure to kind of
just make me feel like I could

307
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,330
stand up to anything. And I
think it was a probably an

308
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:54,630
important moment for him as
well, to see how the world was

309
00:20:54,660 --> 00:20:56,940
reacting to me and how people
were kind of just really

310
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,390
trashing me, and how I was still
trying my best to stand as tall

311
00:21:00,390 --> 00:21:03,750
and represent and protect
people. I was at a really,

312
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,170
extremely low point. I was
frightened is that because it

313
00:21:07,170 --> 00:21:11,790
was after the tiger stuff was
during the time I was I was so

314
00:21:11,790 --> 00:21:14,310
afraid of what was happening. I
didn't know what was going on.

315
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:16,770
Like I said, when you're dealing
with crisis management people

316
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:22,080
contacting you and attorneys and
PR people and all that all the

317
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,990
media like every show out there.
I'm on TMZ I'm on Monday when I

318
00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:27,330
see all this stuff happening and
I'm just like what in the world

319
00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:28,470
is going on?

320
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:32,730
I missed something I missed the
the tiger fight what what what

321
00:21:32,730 --> 00:21:33,420
did I miss?

322
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:37,800
Okay, so Tiger is a rapper.
Right? Thanks. Thanks, smoke,

323
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,710
give me a little bit of credit.
Just a teeny bit of credit.

324
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:41,670
Okay, so

325
00:21:42,030 --> 00:21:48,450
I will, I'm giving his title who
used to date Kylie Jenner. Oh,

326
00:21:49,860 --> 00:21:56,280
Mia, Isabella came out and
somehow got linked to Tiger. And

327
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,620
that's when the whole whirlwind
started up about her with Tiger

328
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:07,500
and she like said crisis
managers, attorneys TMC myself,

329
00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:11,850
Tigers know where biggest
celebrities Colin Kaepernick is

330
00:22:11,850 --> 00:22:12,180
so why

331
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:14,490
didn't he have all the crisis
management going on?

332
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,610
Exactly. Using when something is

333
00:22:20,610 --> 00:22:23,850
missing. It's meant to be there
on purpose.

334
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:27,780
When something is like I mean,
that's why I played that last

335
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:31,020
clip to show you that's the
normal course of these things

336
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:36,090
happening. And Tigers a way
smaller celebrity, as I stated

337
00:22:36,090 --> 00:22:38,430
before, and then Colin
Kaepernick, so you expect the

338
00:22:38,430 --> 00:22:41,610
same thing TMZ will be knocking
down her door, they will be

339
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:45,210
chasing her around trying to put
a microphone in her face. What

340
00:22:45,210 --> 00:22:47,520
you know about Colin, what you
know about Colin, but none of

341
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,540
that happened? How do

342
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:51,630
you? How do you know that target
or that Colin is a much bigger

343
00:22:51,630 --> 00:22:56,430
celebrity. I mean, it's if it's
hard, it's hard for me to see

344
00:22:56,430 --> 00:23:00,300
sports guys that had the music
celebrity level. But that's just

345
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:01,800
me because I don't have that
background.

346
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:05,880
It's because he crossed over me.
He was a he was a pretty big

347
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,740
star, just being a sports star.
But even now he's made it he's

348
00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:13,710
bigger than he was when he
played football.

349
00:23:14,130 --> 00:23:16,680
Got it? Now I'm not I'm not
questioning it. I'm just trying

350
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,490
to understand. Yeah,

351
00:23:17,790 --> 00:23:24,300
he's a he's a he's a social
media. Superstar now got it. I

352
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:27,930
mean, even his silhouette is
iconic.

353
00:23:27,930 --> 00:23:32,580
And yeah, iconic, iconic,
iconic, and designed as such.

354
00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:39,990
Exactly. So just getting off of
the background people. I just

355
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:42,540
want to lay all those people out
there. And you know, just to

356
00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:46,170
say, who who was who was in his
circle

357
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,650
and nice crier. He's got a bunch
of friends.

358
00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:53,730
Why are there people missing
from the story? Why are there

359
00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:57,960
people there's highlighted in
this story. And then we're going

360
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,480
to see, I mean, how they all
play out in the future. But I

361
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,940
want to just want to do the
background or and lay down the

362
00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:07,620
foundation there. So now we have
the X. Why was it such a big

363
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:14,550
deal? That he took a knee during
the national anthem? Do you have

364
00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:17,130
any any clue ideas? Um, yes, I

365
00:24:17,130 --> 00:24:22,080
do. Yes, I do Mo and the reason
why I do is because we looked at

366
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,060
this story on no agenda. And the
biggest problem is, it's a

367
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:32,460
television show. And the
television show is paid for by

368
00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:36,960
sponsors and a big one. Around
the time of the anthem is the

369
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,880
United States military, who pay
millions of dollars to have jets

370
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,160
fly over and soldiers marching
on the field and flags and all

371
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,000
kinds of stuff.

372
00:24:49,410 --> 00:24:50,280
Number seven,

373
00:24:50,370 --> 00:24:53,250
there's a scheme involving the
Pentagon that Congress is trying

374
00:24:53,250 --> 00:24:56,460
to shut down. It's called paid
patriotism. We're talking about

375
00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:59,610
millions of dollars that are
being funneled from the Pentagon

376
00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:02,340
to proof professional sports
teams around the country every

377
00:25:02,340 --> 00:25:05,880
single year. In return, the
sports teams honor American

378
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,580
soldiers, and they promote the
military at their sporting

379
00:25:08,580 --> 00:25:11,190
events. I guess you could think
of it as sort of like product

380
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:13,200
placement. You know, Jose,
you're watching your favorite

381
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,900
YouTube video might not seem
like a commercial. But in the

382
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,290
back, there's a perfect can of
Bud Light just facing right

383
00:25:19,290 --> 00:25:22,290
towards you. That wasn't an
accident. It is a commercial

384
00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:25,410
that these advertisers want to
put in your face without you

385
00:25:25,410 --> 00:25:27,510
knowing that it's actually an
advertisement that you're

386
00:25:27,510 --> 00:25:30,090
watching. This is sort of the
same thing, according to John

387
00:25:30,090 --> 00:25:32,700
McCain, who actually looked
really into it. And that's in

388
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:34,680
itself. It's surprising that
Republicans are going after

389
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,960
this. I think that's awesome.
Anyway, according to John

390
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,810
McCain, who's now our Senate
Armed Services Committee

391
00:25:39,810 --> 00:25:43,800
Chairman, since 2012, the
Pentagon paid at least $6.8

392
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,290
million in contracts to teams in
the NFL, the MLB, NHL and the

393
00:25:49,290 --> 00:25:52,380
MLS. Major League Soccer. Yes,
there's a soccer league in this

394
00:25:52,380 --> 00:25:52,890
country.

395
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,130
That's less than I thought that
was for one year.

396
00:25:57,330 --> 00:26:01,770
Yeah. And so I think that number

397
00:26:02,010 --> 00:26:05,370
goes to the way bigger Yeah, it
goes to the NFL, not the teams,

398
00:26:05,370 --> 00:26:06,690
right? It goes to the NFL.

399
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,680
Right? Because they didn't they
had these individual deals.

400
00:26:11,010 --> 00:26:14,220
Yeah, well, they own the turn on
the television. Yeah, the NFL,

401
00:26:14,670 --> 00:26:16,080
onto the TV, right. So

402
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,040
Right. So per action per team,
there was still more money being

403
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,510
funneled to the teams, like if
you recognize this particular

404
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:30,420
person will give you 20k I mean,
homework. Yeah. So I mean, it's

405
00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:35,160
just not me. It's bigger than me
saying it has me has to be mean,

406
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,000
it has to be so. Um, so let's
just get into the second part of

407
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,390
this clip.

408
00:26:39,540 --> 00:26:42,300
I have the number here the New
York Jets football team received

409
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:46,920
$20,000 from the Pentagon, for
what just to recognize one or

410
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,460
two New Jersey Army National
Guard soldiers at halftime kind

411
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:53,070
of hailing them as Hometown
Heroes. I've seen that a games

412
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:54,990
before they kind of come in and
they say their names and

413
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:57,930
everyone applauds. But I didn't
know that the Pentagon was

414
00:26:57,930 --> 00:27:01,380
secretly paying for these kinds
of things. Now, I'm all for, you

415
00:27:01,380 --> 00:27:03,450
know, promotion of the military.
I don't mind if I'm watching

416
00:27:03,450 --> 00:27:06,420
television, and I see those
those those commercials for the

417
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:08,790
Marines or whatever. I think
it's unnecessary. I don't blame

418
00:27:08,790 --> 00:27:11,730
them. Everyone does that. But at
the same time, if the Pentagon

419
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:14,370
is doing it in a way that we
don't know, kind of like a Bud

420
00:27:14,370 --> 00:27:17,490
Light sneaks their little cans
in there. I almost feel like

421
00:27:17,490 --> 00:27:19,920
they're trying to brainwash the
masses. I don't know. Am I

422
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,410
looking into this too much? Am I
being too sensitive? I just

423
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:25,140
think it's weird that they kind
of do it in this secretive way.

424
00:27:25,140 --> 00:27:27,480
It kind of changes how they're
going about. And it's weird.

425
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,480
Yeah, we call this native
advertising. It's been around

426
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,290
for a while. And it's, of
course, the whole point is to be

427
00:27:34,290 --> 00:27:38,010
subversive to sneak it in. And
it since we're talking about

428
00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:40,200
mind control, it's totally what
it is.

429
00:27:41,370 --> 00:27:46,290
And so sports is almost
synonymous with war. If you

430
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:49,860
listen to the terminology. You
got the bomb. You got the Blitz.

431
00:27:49,890 --> 00:27:50,670
Yeah, you know.

432
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:54,810
The wishbone. Oh, right. That's
yeah.

433
00:27:55,830 --> 00:28:00,720
I mean, a lot of yeah, a lot. A
lot of it. Yeah. A lot of the

434
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,340
terms are military term course.
A military term. You

435
00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:08,490
got uniforms, you're fighting,
fight, fight, fight. Yes, of

436
00:28:08,490 --> 00:28:13,650
course. And then, but this is
human nature and humans need

437
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,920
this. This is what the Romans
figured out. You know, we need

438
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:19,740
the games we need to otherwise
we're gonna go beat each other

439
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:20,010
up.

440
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:26,940
Bread and Circuses circus. Yep.
And this is where a lot of

441
00:28:26,940 --> 00:28:29,940
people got pissed off with Colin
Kaepernick. And I was one of

442
00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:35,460
them. Don't interject politics
into my own football. My control

443
00:28:35,850 --> 00:28:38,910
is yes, you'd like you'd like to
buy the Gatorade and all the

444
00:28:38,910 --> 00:28:41,460
other stuff that they're mind
controlling you with, but not

445
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:43,440
the politics part that's going
forward?

446
00:28:43,710 --> 00:28:49,290
Yeah, not not even. It's okay. I
have to admit, I'm a huge

447
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:52,830
fantasy sports guy, fantasy
football, fantasy basketball.

448
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:58,620
And for three to four hours a
week, allows me to unwind and

449
00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:02,010
not think about anything else is
going on in the world. Except my

450
00:29:02,010 --> 00:29:06,510
little fantasy team. And my
group of 11 other guys I had

451
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:12,000
finished up with and we kind of
go back to childhood. Right?

452
00:29:12,629 --> 00:29:16,319
Well, you can ask me all you
want, but I'm not into fantasy,

453
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:22,139
anything Well, right. But of
course, I understand. Yeah, I

454
00:29:22,139 --> 00:29:23,639
totally get that. So

455
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:31,110
we you start injecting bowl cry
bowl crap crap into my mental

456
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:34,920
escape. Because that's what it
is. I mean, television is I

457
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,910
mean, we all have I mean, even
though I'm probably the most one

458
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:42,270
of the most aware of people when
it comes to mind control and

459
00:29:42,270 --> 00:29:45,810
propaganda and all these things.
We all have that little thing

460
00:29:45,810 --> 00:29:51,030
that we tap into. That's our
escape. Yeah, for a few hours

461
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:54,720
for sure. Whether it's reality
TV show or whatever. So mine is

462
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,980
sports, so I can empathize with
people. They say What the hell

463
00:29:58,980 --> 00:30:02,130
are you doing, man? I don't want
to I don't want to talk about

464
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:06,390
social justice issues or
politics during my three hour

465
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:10,620
football game. I had nothing to
do with what he was protesting.

466
00:30:11,670 --> 00:30:15,900
You even had the people spraying
this up with with the with the

467
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:18,030
breast cancer and the guys
wearing pink like, Why didn't

468
00:30:18,030 --> 00:30:23,280
wearing pink for pink shoes?
Sure. Yeah. So you, but it's not

469
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,610
something you I mean, there's no
Pearl broken breast cancer

470
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,650
people out there. So it's not I
mean, it's not like it's

471
00:30:28,650 --> 00:30:37,860
polarizing. Oh, right. Yeah.
Good point. So you have this

472
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:44,430
propaganda going on at that pre
game. And then you have this guy

473
00:30:44,430 --> 00:30:50,880
is that is the fly in the
ointment interrupting that. So

474
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,870
somebody has had to change. So
the question was, why, why Colin

475
00:30:57,870 --> 00:30:59,280
Kaepernick to the knee?

476
00:31:00,090 --> 00:31:01,620
What was your initial response?

477
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:04,200
When you saw the Colin
Kaepernick set for the national

478
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:04,530
anthem?

479
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,760
I'll be completely honest, my
initial response was was anger.

480
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:11,490
You know, I was angry and
disappointed because I grew up

481
00:31:11,490 --> 00:31:14,310
in Niner fan and I was pulling
for this guy. Now he just pissed

482
00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:18,060
on my flag. But then I just
stopped making all these

483
00:31:18,060 --> 00:31:20,250
judgments and tried to listen to
what he's talking about, and

484
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:22,440
specifically is police
brutality. And the more I

485
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,090
thought about it, the more I
was, like, I want to try to

486
00:31:24,090 --> 00:31:26,130
understand where he's coming
from at least someone because I

487
00:31:26,130 --> 00:31:28,140
hadn't walked around in his
shoes, but he hasn't walked

488
00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:30,540
around in my boots. You know
what I mean? So I just wrote a

489
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:33,540
letter, and he got a hold of it.
He contacted you. Yeah, he

490
00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:36,330
contacted me. He said he was
inspired by it. And he was

491
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,730
wanting to sit down with me and
just have a discussion. First

492
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:40,890
thing he said we met was, I just
want you to know, I appreciate

493
00:31:40,890 --> 00:31:43,290
your service more than anything
I expressed to him, maybe

494
00:31:43,290 --> 00:31:45,570
there's a different way to
demonstrate where you're showing

495
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,240
more respect for those that lay
down their lives for what that

496
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,970
flag and anthem stands for. I
suggested, you know, kneeling,

497
00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:53,730
because people kneel to pray,
you know, will kneel in front of

498
00:31:53,790 --> 00:31:57,060
a fallen brother's grave, you
know, to show respect, and he

499
00:31:57,060 --> 00:31:58,560
said, I think that would be
really powerful.

500
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:01,410
Kaepernick choosing not to sit
on the bench this time, but to

501
00:32:01,410 --> 00:32:01,620
take

502
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:04,200
a knee, the fact that he was
willing to listen and go to a

503
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,930
knee versus sitting I thought
was huge. That's an important

504
00:32:06,930 --> 00:32:09,300
step that he's taken. I think
other people need to take a step

505
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:11,040
to and maybe listen to it.

506
00:32:11,100 --> 00:32:14,460
I remember this. And this is for
me the weirdest link in the

507
00:32:14,460 --> 00:32:20,760
story, because I believe this is
a Greenbrae. And the Greenbrae

508
00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:24,900
is the one who said, who urged
him instead of sitting, which

509
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:29,070
was not in protest, because we
just, I mean, that's obvious

510
00:32:29,070 --> 00:32:34,620
because he was pouty. So I'm not
sure what the what's the guy's

511
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:40,200
name, the Greenbrae Nate Boyer,
Nate Boyer. He fits in somehow,

512
00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:43,620
but it's never really been
investigated. Until today.

513
00:32:43,620 --> 00:32:44,310
Hopefully.

514
00:32:44,879 --> 00:32:49,049
I'll we're going to go to all
the anti Mr. Nate warrior, but

515
00:32:49,049 --> 00:32:57,359
good now, Adam, um, this. Super
woke so so Search Social Justice

516
00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:02,879
Warrior. And he'd come to his
Greenbrae army guy telling me

517
00:33:02,879 --> 00:33:07,349
hey, you only be sitting down
you need to take a knee and I

518
00:33:07,349 --> 00:33:08,729
say, Oh, yeah. Okay.

519
00:33:08,790 --> 00:33:09,510
Good idea.

520
00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:18,600
Sounds very plausible to me at
all. Um, so we have to get into

521
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:22,230
Who is this Nate Borja
character? Why him?

522
00:33:22,919 --> 00:33:26,639
Why Nick Boyer with a
controversy that straddled both

523
00:33:26,639 --> 00:33:31,499
football and patriotism. Why was
his perspective so unique?

524
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,220
It was actually interested in
joining the military right out

525
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:39,390
of high school. But after 911 He
really wanted to join the

526
00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:43,320
Special Forces. He wanted to
become a Greenbrae. He was

527
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,940
deployed initially to Iraq. He
got out of the army for a short

528
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:53,040
period, and that's when he
applied to University of Texas.

529
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,680
Lawyer wasn't your typical
college player. He tried to make

530
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,980
the Longhorns football team as a
31 year old walk on

531
00:34:02,699 --> 00:34:06,089
an older guy that wasn't a
tremendous athlete that didn't

532
00:34:06,089 --> 00:34:09,239
play high school football that
wants to join a national

533
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,179
championship program. I mean,
come on

534
00:34:12,180 --> 00:34:18,360
now. Huh? Yeah, come on now.
Interesting. Yeah. Interesting.

535
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:25,200
31 years old and wants to join
the Longhorns. The number like

536
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:31,920
the main national championship
level, Longhorns team, yes. And

537
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,530
he somehow walks on as a long
snapper, which is probably the

538
00:34:37,530 --> 00:34:42,000
least important position on a
football team.

539
00:34:42,030 --> 00:34:45,090
All right, you got to explain
the long snapper is when

540
00:34:45,090 --> 00:34:47,130
someone's field goal for field
goal.

541
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,790
I'm just guessing. Yeah. For
golden punch. That's the guy.

542
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:57,840
That's the guy that hikes the
ball back to the kicker or the

543
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,660
place the guy that's holding the
ball for the guy Gotta keep

544
00:35:00,690 --> 00:35:01,470
Yeah, this interest only

545
00:35:01,470 --> 00:35:04,170
job. I never realized that
wasn't the regular quarterback

546
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:04,260
who

547
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:07,500
does that. Senator? Yeah, that's

548
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,200
what I mean, Senator. Yeah, of
course. It's the Senator. Oh,

549
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:10,560
yeah.

550
00:35:11,490 --> 00:35:15,990
Well, yeah, he's a special type
of Senator. Yeah. Oh snap,

551
00:35:16,170 --> 00:35:19,680
because he does one thing very
well. That's it. All you got to

552
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,670
do is get the ball

553
00:35:20,670 --> 00:35:22,170
back to in the guy's hands.

554
00:35:23,250 --> 00:35:28,740
Right. And they let the 31 year
old walk on Greenbrae specials

555
00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:31,470
Force guy, Soldier

556
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,540
get the job. And he'd never
played organized football in his

557
00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:37,020
life.

558
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:45,330
Ever. Hmm. That's not suspicious
at all, at all. Nate warrior

559
00:35:45,330 --> 00:35:48,330
too. And he said, You're losing
your first and second team deep

560
00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:51,000
snapper. And I can do that. And
I said, Have you ever done it?

561
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:54,360
He said, No, never done a day in
my life. We'll take a ball coach

562
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,030
and I'm gonna go to Afghanistan.
And I'm gonna practice every

563
00:35:57,030 --> 00:36:00,180
day. And I'll come back as your
deep stamper and I thought

564
00:36:00,210 --> 00:36:02,010
Trump, this is gonna work.

565
00:36:03,690 --> 00:36:04,710
Number 37.

566
00:36:07,980 --> 00:36:12,870
He started on every snap for the
next three years. We had him

567
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:15,870
take an American flag on the
field. Every time we would come

568
00:36:15,870 --> 00:36:17,790
out. He became a team leader.

569
00:36:18,330 --> 00:36:22,470
Many college football players
have their summers off. Boyer

570
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:26,790
spent his with the Special
Forces in Afghanistan. After his

571
00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:31,770
college career ended in 2014,
the 34 year old former longmorn

572
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,140
had another long shot in mind
earning a spot on an NFL roster.

573
00:36:37,799 --> 00:36:40,289
They called and said Coach Do
you think I'll be drafted

574
00:36:40,289 --> 00:36:43,649
lesson? I'm gonna be honest with
you says unlikely for you to

575
00:36:43,649 --> 00:36:46,649
make it because of your size.
And because of your age.

576
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,360
In the 2015 preseason. Boyer got
his NFL shot with the Seahawks

577
00:36:51,570 --> 00:36:55,560
in his only NFL game. He carried
the American flag on to

578
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,610
CenturyLink Field.

579
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,960
Oh, okay. Here's what I think.
It sounds to me like this guy

580
00:37:00,990 --> 00:37:04,800
was doing a little bit of native
advertising for the United

581
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,840
States military. And they placed
him initially with the

582
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,740
Longhorns. Which, by the way, I
live in Austin. It's a fine

583
00:37:13,740 --> 00:37:17,700
military industrial complex
city. Lots of spooks lots of

584
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:21,390
stuff going on. Lots of retired
military so it sounds like he

585
00:37:21,390 --> 00:37:27,510
was a he was a part of his gig
was promoting America and

586
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:29,070
military on the field.

587
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:32,640
And it worked for both parties
because hit now you have this

588
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,500
guy, and they showed in this
piece that I snagged the clip

589
00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:43,530
from, which was from the NFL
channel in NFL films. He's at

590
00:37:43,530 --> 00:37:49,020
the combine and that's where you
have the potential players

591
00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:52,470
that's coming up for the draft
and as his huge gaggle of press

592
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:57,630
around while pressing around
him. Now he's a 34 year old

593
00:37:57,630 --> 00:37:57,990
long,

594
00:37:58,050 --> 00:38:01,350
long snapper huh?

595
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:06,720
undersized? Not my words. That
was Max brown Mack Browns words

596
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:13,170
from from the Longhorns.
undersized, 34 years old, which

597
00:38:13,170 --> 00:38:17,220
at 34 years old, you're you're
over the hill. And you're the

598
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,150
end of your prom for
professional football players.

599
00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:21,270
Now,

600
00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:24,690
did you? Did you already find
this very suspicious in putting

601
00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:27,450
together your fantasy team? I'm
sure he didn't include the

602
00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:28,110
shill?

603
00:38:29,070 --> 00:38:34,170
No, I found it very. As I
started peeling back the layers

604
00:38:34,170 --> 00:38:37,170
coming soon. And I saw Colin
Kaepernick in the news we're

605
00:38:37,170 --> 00:38:40,470
taking make it a political
stance. I was like, oh, what

606
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:44,220
Colin Kaepernick, um, that that
will be the birth. Let me be

607
00:38:44,250 --> 00:38:47,010
honest with you. I'm gonna be
completely 100% honest with you.

608
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:51,480
My first thing was Colin
Kaepernick is black.

609
00:38:53,370 --> 00:38:55,050
You thought it was like some
kind of Drake.

610
00:38:55,890 --> 00:38:59,940
Like he was he was very racially
we use this term, racially

611
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:05,040
ambiguous him and he could be
Hispanic. He could be air. I

612
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,470
mean, you didn't. I mean, when
you saw him, especially when his

613
00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:09,060
hair cut short as he is.

614
00:39:09,299 --> 00:39:13,229
When he was yeah, he looks much
more Hispanic than right. So I

615
00:39:13,229 --> 00:39:13,649
was like,

616
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:16,920
that was my first thing was that
took me aback. I'm like, he's

617
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,470
black. And then after that, I'm
like, he, like you said he's a

618
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:27,750
GQ model. Yeah. He wasn't
concerned with because you have

619
00:39:27,750 --> 00:39:32,670
certain players in the NFL that
are known for being for being

620
00:39:33,060 --> 00:39:38,820
outspoken on social issues. You
have Michael Bennett, you had

621
00:39:39,270 --> 00:39:43,440
what's the guy from Seattle
Seahawks? I forget his name, but

622
00:39:43,470 --> 00:39:45,780
it's a few of them that you
know, but he would not this guy,

623
00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:48,390
not Colin Kaepernick as he saw
started this is

624
00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:49,440
Kaepernick a Das?

625
00:39:51,870 --> 00:39:56,880
I don't know what is the reason
why I say that is his mother's

626
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,820
white. Was that mean that
doesn't matter. Right? And they

627
00:39:59,820 --> 00:40:03,210
don't I won't speak of his
father. And he was adopted by a

628
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:06,630
white family. I think it five
weeks old. So I mean, we don't

629
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:09,510
know much about his history,
which it doesn't matter. I mean,

630
00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:10,860
in the grass. No,

631
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:13,770
it was just because this is the
MO facts show.

632
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,970
Yeah, it was just shocking that
he was black period. Right?

633
00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:23,190
Because and the reason why, let
me explain why I say this for

634
00:40:23,190 --> 00:40:26,490
people like what does it matter?
When that black quarterback

635
00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:32,760
comes in the NFL? That's a
usually they label it as a black

636
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:39,270
quarterback. I mean, cuz this
this. Yeah, so you can we

637
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:40,170
handle. So we

638
00:40:40,170 --> 00:40:45,210
have, we have a Super Bowl in
recent memory with two black

639
00:40:45,210 --> 00:40:47,310
quarterbacks, and they made a
big deal out of it.

640
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,330
Yes, and every time a black
quarterback goes to the Super

641
00:40:51,330 --> 00:40:53,880
Bowl, they make a big deal out
of every time a black

642
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,760
quarterback is drafted, they
make a big deal out of it,

643
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,800
because the usual Mo is the
black quarterback is going to

644
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,190
play a certain style of
football. And that was the that

645
00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:07,170
was knock against the black
quarterback because they were

646
00:41:07,170 --> 00:41:11,010
like in the 70s and 60s is they
don't have the mental capacity

647
00:41:11,010 --> 00:41:14,670
to to to play the position, you
know, so

648
00:41:15,330 --> 00:41:20,670
that's really Yeah, I'm laughing
but you even did it with a

649
00:41:20,670 --> 00:41:23,610
sports announcer voice I like
that. Well, clearly these

650
00:41:24,210 --> 00:41:27,090
Americans don't have the mental
capacity for quarterbacking.

651
00:41:27,930 --> 00:41:32,610
That was the justification. So
we are very sensitive when it

652
00:41:32,610 --> 00:41:40,230
black quarterback comes into the
NFL. So that's what took me

653
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:43,350
aback about Colin Kaepernick. So
then when the Green Beret thing

654
00:41:43,350 --> 00:41:46,800
came up, like hold on, and they
you posed to be these so called

655
00:41:46,830 --> 00:41:51,210
unquote, quote unquote, radical
that you let a military guy come

656
00:41:51,210 --> 00:41:53,640
in and tell you to take a knee
which as he said in the clip

657
00:41:53,640 --> 00:42:02,730
himself, taking a knee is like a
sign of obedience. Yes. So I was

658
00:42:02,730 --> 00:42:06,210
like, book bull crap. I mean, I
started calling it bull crap

659
00:42:06,210 --> 00:42:09,150
from the very beginning, which
was very unpopular. Wish it's

660
00:42:09,150 --> 00:42:12,360
very common for me to be on the
very unpopular side.

661
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,900
Not not with the with the girls,
huh?

662
00:42:16,350 --> 00:42:21,510
Yeah, um, yeah, I'm just the,
you know, just the troublemaker.

663
00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:27,540
So this thing plays out and he's
taking his knee and he gets he

664
00:42:27,540 --> 00:42:30,690
gets his job back to play
football, and he's still taking

665
00:42:30,690 --> 00:42:33,870
the knee for the 40 Niners in
the same season that he

666
00:42:33,870 --> 00:42:38,790
originally started taking the
knee. But even Colin Kaepernick

667
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:45,390
is certain things that no black
person could ever say. And he

668
00:42:45,390 --> 00:42:48,960
touched a third rail of
Blackstone of not voting.

669
00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:52,290
At this point. I'm sure Colin
kapernick is used to receiving

670
00:42:52,290 --> 00:42:55,140
backlash, but after letting it
be known that he had no

671
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:58,500
intentions of voting, many of
his supporters jumped off the

672
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:01,470
bandwagon. So young cat felt
compelled to explain his

673
00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:05,310
position, the conference call
with members of the press, I've

674
00:43:05,310 --> 00:43:08,250
been very disconnected from the
systematic oppression as a whole

675
00:43:08,250 --> 00:43:11,610
Kaepernick said. So for me, it's
another face that's going to be

676
00:43:11,610 --> 00:43:14,850
the face of that system of
oppression. And to me, it didn't

677
00:43:14,850 --> 00:43:18,150
really matter who went in there,
the system remains intact that

678
00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:21,300
oppresses people of color.
Nevermind that University of

679
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,630
Alabama football coach Nick
Saban admitted he wasn't even

680
00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:27,600
aware that there was an
election, the media, and namely

681
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,500
Stephen A Smith sounded off on
Kaepernick for not voting as if

682
00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:34,470
not voting against the money
he's donated, and programs that

683
00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:37,290
he's implemented since this
protest became public.

684
00:43:37,710 --> 00:43:40,740
Now, did he announce this? Or
how did this come to light that

685
00:43:40,740 --> 00:43:41,370
he was not

686
00:43:41,370 --> 00:43:45,810
voting? I think it was one of
those TMZ kind of things where

687
00:43:45,810 --> 00:43:49,020
they like on the street and they
put a mic in your face asked you

688
00:43:49,020 --> 00:43:51,570
about the election. And he was
like, Yeah, I'm not voting

689
00:43:51,570 --> 00:43:54,840
because both of them are bad
commie. This did. very

690
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,910
simplified what he what his
statement was,

691
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:59,040
why is this? Why is this the
third rail?

692
00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:08,820
Because if you're black, you got
to vote. Gotcha. Even just just

693
00:44:08,850 --> 00:44:15,000
for some context, I get feedback
now, for my stance on this show.

694
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,130
Like how dare you tell people
not to vote? You know? Well,

695
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,440
I'll give you example, what it
sounds like. ESPN, ESPN host

696
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,490
slams Colin Kaepernick.

697
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:29,460
I appreciated what you said
about Colin Kaepernick as

698
00:44:29,460 --> 00:44:32,670
someone who's 54 registered to
vote when I turned 18. I've

699
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:36,690
never in my life missed voting
in an election. Have I expand on

700
00:44:36,690 --> 00:44:39,300
what you had to expand on what
you had to say about him?

701
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,780
Well, listen, the fact is he had
every right to protest and when

702
00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:46,320
he was talking about racial and
justices and things of that

703
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,990
nature, you certainly can
understand where he was coming

704
00:44:48,990 --> 00:44:52,410
from. It was a quiet protest. He
didn't impede anybody's ability

705
00:44:52,410 --> 00:44:55,110
to watch the game to come to the
games or anything like that.

706
00:44:55,110 --> 00:44:58,170
Which is why I went on Good
Morning America for my show.

707
00:44:58,170 --> 00:45:01,800
First take on ESPN, too. Every
weekday from 10am to 12, noon

708
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,700
and other outlets to support
him. However, the second that he

709
00:45:05,700 --> 00:45:09,510
decided that he was not going to
vote and didn't to publicly

710
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,530
reveal that he wasn't voting, I
thought it was egregious to the

711
00:45:13,530 --> 00:45:16,770
highest order. I thought it
compromised everything that he

712
00:45:16,770 --> 00:45:19,320
was standing for. And more
importantly, I thought it was a

713
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,520
disrespect to our ancestors to
people who have bled and fought

714
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,270
and died for him to have the
right to do that. And then also

715
00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:29,820
take into account the fact that
we have a president who was

716
00:45:29,820 --> 00:45:34,590
outgoing in Barack Obama who
captured 93% of the black vote

717
00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:37,830
who obviously black folks come
out and support. He went before

718
00:45:37,830 --> 00:45:41,400
the Congressional Black Caucus
and went campaigning for on

719
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,520
behalf of Hillary Clinton,
basically imploring our

720
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,600
community to activate itself in
this election if you had any

721
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,730
respect whatsoever for his
legacy.

722
00:45:51,090 --> 00:45:53,940
I need a bell just I'm just
around me all the time. Just

723
00:45:53,940 --> 00:45:56,490
when I hear the word activate. I
got it. I got to ring the bell

724
00:45:56,490 --> 00:46:00,330
to Yes. Okay. So he was not on
board with the program. He

725
00:46:00,330 --> 00:46:02,340
didn't want to activate for
Hillary.

726
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,100
And that's where he got
canceled.

727
00:46:06,540 --> 00:46:09,120
And what was he What was his
reasons behind this?

728
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:17,610
Because he understood his fan
base. He's very conscious or

729
00:46:17,610 --> 00:46:20,010
what I'm not gonna say he
because I don't think he was

730
00:46:20,010 --> 00:46:20,580
very.

731
00:46:22,710 --> 00:46:24,870
I'll say, He doesn't look that
smart.

732
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:31,920
I don't think I'm smart. I'll
say this. Because the reason why

733
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,430
I wouldn't say smart because he
was a 4.0. Student. Oh, okay.

734
00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:35,580
I'll

735
00:46:35,580 --> 00:46:36,420
take that back.

736
00:46:36,660 --> 00:46:41,130
I don't think he's that aware.
And there's very, a lot of

737
00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:45,270
reasons for that being a
biracial person that was raised

738
00:46:45,270 --> 00:46:49,500
by a total white family grown up
in a total white community. He's

739
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:58,410
not as aware of race. As a,
quote unquote, typical

740
00:46:58,410 --> 00:47:01,530
black horse, he didn't have the
same upbringing, where it is

741
00:47:01,530 --> 00:47:05,430
where the you're gonna vote was
hammered into you. So it's

742
00:47:05,430 --> 00:47:09,750
right. Yeah. Okay, so when he
says these things, but I think

743
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:13,980
him not voting was very
calculated, because if you link

744
00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:18,300
him as it loosely, is to Black
Lives Matter, that was a large

745
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:20,520
portion of his, because you got
to look at these things. They

746
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,080
were running concurrent, at the
same time, Black Lives Matter.

747
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,550
2016 They were on a meteoric
rise. So it was Kaepernick, and

748
00:47:29,550 --> 00:47:33,300
they kind of merge together,
they converged, right, they

749
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:37,110
converged. And for him, and you
know, black lives matter was

750
00:47:37,110 --> 00:47:43,650
very anti establishment, anti
Hillary Clinton. So for him to

751
00:47:43,650 --> 00:47:47,070
come out and say, yeah, and be
used as a tool for Hillary

752
00:47:47,070 --> 00:47:51,180
Clinton, then that would damage
his brand. And this is all about

753
00:47:51,180 --> 00:47:56,490
brand here. Yes. Okay. So it was
a very calculated, I think,

754
00:47:56,490 --> 00:48:01,050
wisely calculate, I mean, a lot
of his moves. That look stupid,

755
00:48:01,380 --> 00:48:04,050
you have to understand they look
stupid, because you're thinking

756
00:48:04,050 --> 00:48:07,230
about, not you, but people are
thinking about him in terms of

757
00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:11,670
him getting back into the NFL,
right? No, he's thinking, I'm

758
00:48:11,670 --> 00:48:15,570
gonna build this brand. Because
I wasn't that good of a football

759
00:48:15,570 --> 00:48:21,030
player. Last time I played. Even
if I get back in NFL, I'll be

760
00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:25,170
mediocre at best. Now, he will
be better than half of the guys

761
00:48:25,170 --> 00:48:28,530
that are either starting
quarterback or backup

762
00:48:28,530 --> 00:48:30,690
quarterbacks. I'll give him that
credit. And I think that's the

763
00:48:30,690 --> 00:48:33,870
very disingenuous argument when
people say, Oh, he wasn't good

764
00:48:33,870 --> 00:48:37,020
enough to play. No, it's a lot
of trash quarterbacks in the NFL

765
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:39,180
right now. Well, so you gotta,
you gotta have

766
00:48:39,180 --> 00:48:45,180
a certain amount of, well, it
could be wokeness or I mean,

767
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:49,020
awareness for sure. If you know,
okay, wait a minute. I I'm not

768
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:51,570
that. I mean, he he made a
career choice. I'm not that

769
00:48:51,570 --> 00:48:57,690
great a player. And, you know,
I've got a brand. And I think a

770
00:48:57,690 --> 00:49:00,270
lot of things happened, you
know, the hair change will I'm

771
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,240
sure we'll get to that or maybe
not, but the hair change was a

772
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:06,540
significant that's that was a
true branding move.

773
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,340
And that was immediate. I mean,
because when he was start

774
00:49:11,340 --> 00:49:14,730
process, right away, had that
big afro, so he had to Afro he

775
00:49:14,730 --> 00:49:16,530
was ready. He was ready for
casting.

776
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,580
Okay, now you're right, you're
right. You're right. So that the

777
00:49:20,580 --> 00:49:23,640
decision had already been made.
And then of course, he's in his

778
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,520
mind. He's already thinking,
Okay, I don't win if I, if I

779
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,480
come out publicly for Trump,
because no one does. And I don't

780
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,700
win if I come out publicly for
Clinton because of the Black

781
00:49:35,730 --> 00:49:39,480
Lives Matter. Convergent
convergence with what he was

782
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,980
doing. Okay, got it. I'm there.

783
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:48,660
So, you asked the question about
his handler ship. Oh, it started

784
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:52,410
off in my opinion. It started
off with Mr. Harry Edwards. But

785
00:49:52,410 --> 00:49:58,110
there was a transition. Because,
and this is quoting from on May

786
00:49:58,110 --> 00:50:04,050
11 articles for you ESPN 17 Mr.
Harry Edwards made a statement

787
00:50:04,050 --> 00:50:07,110
it three teams have inquired
about Colin Kaepernick advisor

788
00:50:07,110 --> 00:50:10,530
says and it goes on he goes on
to talk about the teams that

789
00:50:10,530 --> 00:50:14,490
were interested in Colin
Kaepernick. Right. But

790
00:50:14,490 --> 00:50:24,600
immediately after that, I'm
nessa Diem refused to claim. So

791
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:31,680
this is where the handler his
handlers made a transition from

792
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:37,710
it being Mr. Harry Edwards.
being handed over to miss this

793
00:50:37,710 --> 00:50:38,220
idea

794
00:50:38,970 --> 00:50:41,970
of IQ many fans want to know How
close were the ravens to signing

795
00:50:41,970 --> 00:50:44,820
Colin Kaepernick Ray Lewis says
they were about to close this

796
00:50:44,820 --> 00:50:47,520
deal, but one tweet changed it
all.

797
00:50:48,870 --> 00:50:52,740
A 24 in the am Baltimore Ravens
get making

798
00:50:52,740 --> 00:50:56,490
headlines yet again. The whole
Colin Kaepernick mess Colin

799
00:50:56,490 --> 00:50:59,490
Kaepernick and Ray Lewis are at
center stage with Luis shedding

800
00:50:59,490 --> 00:51:02,460
light on why the Ravens backed
away from the controversial

801
00:51:02,460 --> 00:51:03,210
quarterback.

802
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:06,090
Nobody had this kid a job in the
National Football League. I can

803
00:51:06,090 --> 00:51:07,680
raise my hand and say I did once
a

804
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,890
star for the 40 Niners poor play
in a protest at the National

805
00:51:10,890 --> 00:51:14,220
Anthem quite a moment here in
San Francisco has kapernick

806
00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:15,570
looking for a new job.

807
00:51:15,660 --> 00:51:18,090
I'm gonna continue to stand with
the people that are being

808
00:51:18,090 --> 00:51:19,410
oppressed when Joe Flacco

809
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:22,050
was first injured. The Ravens
expressed interest in Kaepernick

810
00:51:22,050 --> 00:51:24,930
but never signed him. Shortly
after Kaepernick girlfriend

811
00:51:24,930 --> 00:51:28,410
slammed owner Steve Ashanti and
Ray Lewis posting a tweet that

812
00:51:28,410 --> 00:51:31,710
mirrors the movie picture of a
house sleeve hugging his racist

813
00:51:31,710 --> 00:51:32,850
master. The only

814
00:51:32,850 --> 00:51:38,280
thing that went bad was that
image where she tried to make us

815
00:51:38,310 --> 00:51:39,840
a racist, Louis on

816
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,470
show times inside the NFL, we
were going to close the deal to

817
00:51:43,470 --> 00:51:43,860
sign

818
00:51:43,860 --> 00:51:46,680
him to sign them all we wanted
to hear was hear Colin

819
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,610
Kaepernick speech then his girl
goes out and puts out this

820
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:55,710
racist gesture she doesn't know
we're in the back office about

821
00:51:55,950 --> 00:51:58,230
for about to try to get this guy
to sign.

822
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:05,190
Yeah, but maybe she didn't know
I guess. Yeah, perfect timing.

823
00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:12,630
Why? If your goal is to get back
into the NFL, why would your

824
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:19,830
girlfriend aka your handler,
tweet out a picture of she had

825
00:52:19,860 --> 00:52:22,650
on one side she had the owners
of the Baltimore Ravens being

826
00:52:22,650 --> 00:52:29,940
held by Ray Lewis, the legendary
iconic linebacker from the

827
00:52:29,970 --> 00:52:33,300
Baltimore Ravens on one side,
and then she had a picture of

828
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:41,430
Django Unchained with the quote
unquote, Uncle Tom house slave

829
00:52:41,610 --> 00:52:45,390
hugging the white flight owner.
Yeah, why would you do that? If

830
00:52:45,390 --> 00:52:47,130
your goal is to get back in the
NFL?

831
00:52:49,140 --> 00:52:53,010
This Yeah, that doesn't seem
like that's your goal, if? Well,

832
00:52:53,010 --> 00:52:56,490
of course, he didn't do it. But
she did it. And then of course,

833
00:52:56,490 --> 00:52:59,970
he immediately broke up with her
and publicly said she was a

834
00:52:59,970 --> 00:53:01,110
horrible person, right?

835
00:53:01,770 --> 00:53:08,040
Not at all. And just as a side
note, Baltimore Ravens have

836
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:14,820
taken a black quarterback. Oh,
I'm drawing blanks today. They

837
00:53:14,820 --> 00:53:17,340
have a currently have a black
quarterback that they drafted.

838
00:53:17,580 --> 00:53:21,540
And he's been very successful in
their system. So much so that

839
00:53:21,540 --> 00:53:28,050
he's being in the running for
MVP talk. So Colin Kaepernick

840
00:53:28,050 --> 00:53:32,100
could have played that he had
the same skill set. Lamar, Lamar

841
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:36,060
Jackson had to come back to me.
He had the same skill set as

842
00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:39,690
Lamar Jackson. And he could have
had the same level of success

843
00:53:39,690 --> 00:53:43,920
because they built a system
around his skills of running the

844
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,640
football, you know, and we're
not get too much in sports, but

845
00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:50,610
he could have had the same he
could ask them or success, but I

846
00:53:50,610 --> 00:53:54,450
don't think that's what was
that's not what is wanted for

847
00:53:54,450 --> 00:53:59,430
Colin Kaepernick. No, so once
again, he once again he becomes

848
00:53:59,430 --> 00:54:05,070
toxic. He overcame the voting
thing. nflt looking at him

849
00:54:05,070 --> 00:54:07,050
again. No, it was it.

850
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,110
Was there any more conversation
with his girlfriend where she

851
00:54:10,110 --> 00:54:13,470
interviewed? Did she give any
any decent explanation of what

852
00:54:13,470 --> 00:54:18,360
she was thinking? Not at all.
Okay, so this so this that's odd

853
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,750
to there was no TMZ interview.
Why did you ruin your

854
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:22,860
boyfriend's career?

855
00:54:22,890 --> 00:54:28,740
None of that. None of that.
Okay. So now Mr. Colin

856
00:54:28,740 --> 00:54:35,940
Kaepernick is completely toxic.
The kneeling thing had died

857
00:54:35,940 --> 00:54:40,380
down. But then enter Mr. Donald
Trump.

858
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:46,140
It was a remarkable show of
solidarity and defiance aimed

859
00:54:46,170 --> 00:54:54,060
directly at Donald Trump.
Stadium after stadium anthem

860
00:54:54,060 --> 00:54:58,500
after anthem National Football
League players on one knee

861
00:54:59,580 --> 00:55:04,530
others With raised fists or
locked arms sometimes along with

862
00:55:04,530 --> 00:55:08,730
team owners, some teams staying
in their locker rooms for the

863
00:55:08,730 --> 00:55:13,140
anthem, some anthem singers
themselves joining the protests.

864
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,880
All of it a response to Trump's
comments Friday about players

865
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,570
who protest this way who in
Trump's view, disrespect the US

866
00:55:21,570 --> 00:55:26,010
flag, get that son of a bitch
off the field right now out he's

867
00:55:26,010 --> 00:55:30,840
fired. Trump and his supporters
frame it as unpatriotic. But the

868
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,770
protests are aimed at
highlighting racial inequality

869
00:55:34,770 --> 00:55:38,760
in the US. That's why former NFL
quarterback Colin Kaepernick

870
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:44,010
began it last year, a move say
some that cost him his career as

871
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:50,160
no team hired Kaepernick this
season. But Trump's comments and

872
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:54,510
his calls to now boycott the
NFL. And the view by many Trump

873
00:55:54,510 --> 00:55:58,860
is sympathetic to racist views.
And all of a sudden,

874
00:55:59,279 --> 00:56:08,129
this. Yeah. So Trump use Colin
Kaepernick in the NFL for two

875
00:56:08,129 --> 00:56:13,769
reasons. One, I think he was
doing the Roy Moore election

876
00:56:13,769 --> 00:56:17,999
when he was in Alabama, was
Alabama Mississippi. I forget

877
00:56:18,029 --> 00:56:20,879
not one of the two were pretty
sure it's Alabama. It was

878
00:56:20,879 --> 00:56:25,589
Alabama. Right. That's where he
made this comment. So he needed

879
00:56:25,649 --> 00:56:31,559
he needed some reflection from
that whole debacle that was

880
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:34,079
going on down there. Because I
mean, Roy Moore was the worst

881
00:56:34,079 --> 00:56:37,349
candidate ever. But he had to
back him right. Yeah, cuz, you

882
00:56:38,879 --> 00:56:42,239
know, because of the allegations
that were made against him about

883
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:47,249
the young girls or whatever. I
mean, that was just true or not,

884
00:56:47,279 --> 00:56:50,189
it was just bad optics to have
to support a guy like that.

885
00:56:50,189 --> 00:56:53,879
Right. So he needs attention is
anything that you think Trump

886
00:56:53,879 --> 00:56:57,839
did for that reason? Well, I'm
gonna get to that's one reason

887
00:56:57,839 --> 00:57:02,039
but the second reason he hates
the NFL. Trump hates the NFL.

888
00:57:02,579 --> 00:57:05,939
Yes. Let me explain the history
to you. Okay, so Mr.

889
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,330
Crawford raft guy is his buddy.

890
00:57:09,990 --> 00:57:14,550
Yeah, crap is his buddy. Jerry
Jones from the Cowboys is buddy.

891
00:57:14,790 --> 00:57:20,970
But the NFL. Okay. Trump once
had a team in the USFL, which

892
00:57:20,970 --> 00:57:26,880
was a direct competitor of the
NFL. And he sued the NFL, ah,

893
00:57:26,910 --> 00:57:32,130
and won a monopoly case. He want
he only won $3.

894
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,320
This is like the 90s is this
early 90s. I think in the late

895
00:57:37,350 --> 00:57:40,470
80s, early 90s. Somewhere around
that period, I was in New York

896
00:57:40,470 --> 00:57:43,020
at the time. So I kind of
remember that. And I remember it

897
00:57:43,020 --> 00:57:48,330
was like, and he had a team too.
Didn't you put a team together

898
00:57:48,330 --> 00:57:48,690
for his?

899
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,750
He had a team. Yeah. And they
were they were playing football

900
00:57:54,750 --> 00:57:58,230
in the springtime. But then he
moved in direct competition with

901
00:57:58,230 --> 00:58:05,340
the NFL and the fall. Yeah. So
that I mean, he won, he won. But

902
00:58:05,340 --> 00:58:12,240
then the other thing was, Mr.
Trump tried to buy a team in the

903
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,650
NFL. And the way it works is to
get a team in the NFL, even if

904
00:58:16,650 --> 00:58:18,150
you have the money yet to

905
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:20,730
vote. Do you have to be invited?
Yeah, you gotta it's

906
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,470
yeah, it's, it's the billionaire
boys club is what it is, right.

907
00:58:25,950 --> 00:58:28,350
It's like my fantasy league. You
know. I mean, that's what it is

908
00:58:28,350 --> 00:58:31,320
for billionaires. I mean, they
have their teams. Most of them

909
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,920
make money elsewhere, and it's
just their passion. So they're

910
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,190
like, we're not letting this guy
trumping, you know, so that

911
00:58:38,190 --> 00:58:43,080
really galled Trump like, Oh,
okay. You don't want to sell me

912
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,460
a team because he tried to buy
the Buffalo Bills. So just to

913
00:58:47,730 --> 00:58:52,530
back up my claims. We have
Jaguars owner, con speaking on

914
00:58:52,530 --> 00:58:52,860
Trump.

915
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,280
President Trump hasn't been shy
about voicing his displeasure

916
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,820
with the NFL and one owner says
the President's attacks on the

917
00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:04,230
league are personal. Jaguars
owner Shahrukh Khan told USA

918
00:59:04,230 --> 00:59:06,840
Today that the President's
assault against the NFL is

919
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,040
quote, about money or messing
with trying to soil a league or

920
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,060
brand that he's jealous of. The
President has railed on the NFL

921
00:59:15,060 --> 00:59:17,640
on social media for its handling
of the national anthem

922
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,240
controversy. And though most
owners were hesitant to comment

923
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,550
on the President, as they
wrapped up league meetings in

924
00:59:23,550 --> 00:59:27,840
New York, con was very candid.
Trump was unsuccessful in

925
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,200
attempting to purchase the
Buffalo Bills back in 2014. And

926
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,410
Cohn reportedly thinks that
could be a motivating factor

927
00:59:34,410 --> 00:59:37,170
saying he's been elected
president where maybe a great

928
00:59:37,170 --> 00:59:41,370
goalie had in life to own an NFL
team is not very likely. So to

929
00:59:41,370 --> 00:59:44,790
make it tougher or to hurt the
league. It's very calculated.

930
00:59:45,660 --> 00:59:48,990
Ah, well, Trump is definitely
someone who's on record saying

931
00:59:48,990 --> 00:59:51,090
is he believes in retaliation.
So

932
00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:55,710
yeah, and just to give this guy
icon and credibility and his

933
00:59:55,710 --> 01:00:02,250
claim he's donated to Trump's
election. I lecture fun. So it's

934
01:00:02,250 --> 01:00:04,530
weird. It's weird. It's this
weird thing going on between

935
01:00:04,530 --> 01:00:07,980
these billionaires. I mean, they
I mean, they're very petty

936
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,040
in certain ways. Yes, they are.

937
01:00:11,580 --> 01:00:17,310
Sold NFL, this is what called
the second wave. And a huge buy.

938
01:00:17,310 --> 01:00:21,420
As I said in the previous clips
in the one we just played. It

939
01:00:21,420 --> 01:00:25,710
was league wide protests. All
the guys were taking a knee.

940
01:00:26,460 --> 01:00:30,180
Some guys were raising the face.
Players was walking on a

941
01:00:30,180 --> 01:00:34,710
practice, staying in the locker
room even, ya know, talking

942
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:37,440
about doing practice. They
wouldn't even they wouldn't even

943
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,050
practice. So the NFL owners had
to take action. And what they

944
01:00:43,050 --> 01:00:47,220
did was they put together this
fund, I'll think of like $88

945
01:00:47,250 --> 01:00:51,450
million to donate towards
minority causes

946
01:00:51,570 --> 01:00:55,980
minority minority minority
causes non black lives matter

947
01:00:55,980 --> 01:00:57,510
but minority causes. Okay,

948
01:00:57,630 --> 01:01:04,200
yeah. So that kind of smooth
things over. But it caused a

949
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:10,530
rift between Colin Kaepernick
and NFL players. Now I want to

950
01:01:10,530 --> 01:01:14,910
introduce a another reading, do
an eclipse because they're not

951
01:01:14,910 --> 01:01:18,540
mean Eclipse to have on him. But
one thing called a kappa is

952
01:01:18,540 --> 01:01:23,580
known not to do is talk. Nobody
heard here hears him talk. All

953
01:01:23,580 --> 01:01:29,550
he does is tweet. But he has his
attack dog. Eric Reid, Eric re

954
01:01:29,550 --> 01:01:32,460
was a guy to play with him in
San Francisco and took a knee

955
01:01:32,460 --> 01:01:37,230
with him when he was taking his
knee every time. Around Colin

956
01:01:37,230 --> 01:01:39,960
Kaepernick has beef with
somebody else it really

957
01:01:39,990 --> 01:01:45,540
addresses it either verbally or
even attempting to physically

958
01:01:45,540 --> 01:01:49,050
approach people. So we have
Steven a speech Smith speaking

959
01:01:49,050 --> 01:01:51,150
on Erie versus Malcolm Jenkins,

960
01:01:51,270 --> 01:01:55,350
let's get into the particulars,
for example, the $89 million.

961
01:01:56,130 --> 01:02:01,560
Did y'all know that part of the
agreement is that the owners

962
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,070
will match whatever the players
contribute up to a quarter of a

963
01:02:05,070 --> 01:02:09,000
million dollars annually to
certain causes pertaining to the

964
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,150
African American community, the
kind of issues that Colin

965
01:02:12,150 --> 01:02:14,910
Kaepernick and others were
talking about addressing. We

966
01:02:14,910 --> 01:02:18,540
know this, if you don't know it,
you know it now. Number two, the

967
01:02:18,540 --> 01:02:23,040
NFL, Colin Kaepernick himself,
Eric Reid himself, they would

968
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,740
never protesting against the
National Football League and its

969
01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:29,490
owners. They were protesting
against society in terms of

970
01:02:29,490 --> 01:02:33,300
wanting to bring attention to
racial oppression, racial

971
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:37,410
inequality and other things
pertaining to disenfranchised

972
01:02:37,410 --> 01:02:39,600
communities throughout our
nation. They were not

973
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,760
complaining against the National
Football League.

974
01:02:42,270 --> 01:02:45,300
Yeah, and here I come. I'm a
television network. And I say,

975
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:51,660
Hey, we got a little problem.
You know, we're getting this in

976
01:02:51,660 --> 01:02:54,990
a lot of flack about our
telecast. And it's too

977
01:02:54,990 --> 01:02:57,840
controversial in the military,
you know, they don't want to buy

978
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,750
as many ads around the program
because, you know, the kind of

979
01:03:00,750 --> 01:03:06,750
ruining our flyover. So, this
had to end.

980
01:03:07,650 --> 01:03:13,170
So, just as people know, who
Malcolm Jenkins, Jenkins is,

981
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,950
Malcolm Jenkins was the guy that
came in and say, you know, what,

982
01:03:16,950 --> 01:03:21,480
he was the face of the Players
Association, to say, you know,

983
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,440
what, we can monetize this thing
for charities? Right. You know,

984
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,770
right. They basically they
hijack Colin kapernick movement,

985
01:03:30,420 --> 01:03:33,360
which is what player
associations do very well, by

986
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:33,780
the way.

987
01:03:34,380 --> 01:03:37,530
Well, I mean, that's what people
do all the time. If you if you

988
01:03:37,530 --> 01:03:39,570
just want to complain about
something and don't want to

989
01:03:39,570 --> 01:03:42,780
monetize it. There's somebody
out there saying we can monetize

990
01:03:42,780 --> 01:03:46,830
this thing. And that's what they
did. And NFL owners found them

991
01:03:46,830 --> 01:03:50,940
favorable to work with, because
they were in being just

992
01:03:51,660 --> 01:03:57,630
anarchist. So they came to this
agreement at $9 million, as I

993
01:03:57,630 --> 01:04:00,570
said in the clip, and that
caused, like I said, a rift

994
01:04:00,570 --> 01:04:04,680
between the Colin kapernick
faction, which included Eric

995
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:09,690
Reid against Malcolm Jenkins and
the Players Association, and we

996
01:04:09,690 --> 01:04:12,270
will he'll steam a speaking more
about it in part two.

997
01:04:12,780 --> 01:04:16,350
Number three, when you talk
about Malcolm Jenkins and the

998
01:04:16,350 --> 01:04:19,440
players coalition, they're
saying their priority wasn't

999
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,370
Colin Kaepernick their priority
were the issues. We even have

1000
01:04:23,370 --> 01:04:27,360
Josh Norman quoted on the
record, beefing with Eric Reid

1001
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,750
over a conference call written
by an article in our very own,

1002
01:04:30,870 --> 01:04:34,020
the undefeated, where he was
saying to Eric Reid, let's just

1003
01:04:34,020 --> 01:04:37,740
be real about what's going on
here with Colin Kaepernick to

1004
01:04:37,740 --> 01:04:40,920
speak up for himself and oh, by
the way, this is bigger than

1005
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,830
just one man, we understand that
what's happening to Colin

1006
01:04:43,830 --> 01:04:48,030
Kaepernick is wrong, but this
issue is bigger than him and if

1007
01:04:48,030 --> 01:04:50,670
we're about uplifting and
helping our communities that

1008
01:04:50,670 --> 01:04:51,540
takes precedent.

1009
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,800
So once again, Colin Kaepernick
thought his cell phone outside,

1010
01:04:59,370 --> 01:05:04,860
just kicked out. You see his
tree in here of this? Well,

1011
01:05:04,890 --> 01:05:07,650
getting close to come back to
the NFL and then something

1012
01:05:07,650 --> 01:05:10,950
happens and, you know, it's just
this bob and weave thing.

1013
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,370
It seems like if I looked at it
from a handler perspective, it's

1014
01:05:14,370 --> 01:05:17,040
like, you know, kid, let him get
close controversy, pull them

1015
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,710
back, and we're gonna go over
there, let him get close

1016
01:05:19,710 --> 01:05:22,080
controversy and pull him back.
That's kind of what it feels

1017
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:22,470
like.

1018
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:28,410
That's exactly what seems like
to me as well. So the insteps

1019
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:29,340
Nike,

1020
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,940
Nike is defending its
controversial new ad campaign

1021
01:05:32,940 --> 01:05:36,450
after backlash from President
Trump and other critics. In an

1022
01:05:36,450 --> 01:05:39,000
interview the President said
Nike is sending a terrible

1023
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,690
message he says By partnering
with unsigned NFL quarterback

1024
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,930
Colin Kaepernick, but he added
their freedom to do so it was

1025
01:05:45,930 --> 01:05:49,290
what this country is all about.
Kaepernick triggered the NFL

1026
01:05:49,290 --> 01:05:53,100
player protests against social
injustice back in 2016 by

1027
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:56,040
kneeling during the national
anthem. CBS This Morning

1028
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,760
Saturday co hosts Dana Jacobson
joins us at the table. She's

1029
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:01,920
been following the Nike
controversy from the beginning

1030
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,000
Dana morning. Good

1031
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,340
morning, and this is not going
away in the season hasn't even

1032
01:06:05,340 --> 01:06:08,850
started yet. an NFL executive at
least one has expressed support

1033
01:06:08,850 --> 01:06:12,210
for Kaepernick saying in part
the social justice issues that

1034
01:06:12,210 --> 01:06:15,480
Colin and other professional
athletes have raised deserve our

1035
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,500
attention and action. But Nikes
decision is also fanning the

1036
01:06:19,500 --> 01:06:24,570
flames on social media. Nikes
controversial endorsement of

1037
01:06:24,570 --> 01:06:28,320
Colin Kaepernick is reigniting
the debate over NFL players

1038
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,300
taking a knee during the
national anthem.

1039
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:37,200
All right. So Nike comes in they
make him part of the JUST DO IT

1040
01:06:37,260 --> 01:06:38,250
campaign.

1041
01:06:38,310 --> 01:06:40,290
What was the size of his deal at
the time? Do

1042
01:06:40,290 --> 01:06:43,230
you know it was it was
undisclosed how much he made?

1043
01:06:43,230 --> 01:06:48,060
But it was in the millions? I'm
sure no doubt. But one little

1044
01:06:48,060 --> 01:06:53,190
caveat is have you ever heard
Mr. Mark Geragos?

1045
01:06:53,730 --> 01:06:58,470
Yes, lawyer in Los Angeles. He's
a very famous lawyer.

1046
01:06:59,190 --> 01:07:04,410
Yes, he was Mark Geragos was
Colin Kaepernick attorney. But

1047
01:07:05,070 --> 01:07:08,640
he's also tied in with something
to do with Nike as well.

1048
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,690
Business Insider reporting
lawyer Michael Avenatti was

1049
01:07:12,690 --> 01:07:15,210
arrested and charged with
attempting to extort $20 million

1050
01:07:15,510 --> 01:07:19,230
from sportswear brands Nike on
Monday have a notice basis for

1051
01:07:19,230 --> 01:07:21,600
the alleged extortion attempt
was that he had information

1052
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,110
related to the NCAA basketball
scandal that will put Nike in a

1053
01:07:25,110 --> 01:07:28,770
negative light. The attorney for
adult film star stormy Daniels

1054
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,070
allegedly tried to force Nike to
pay up by threatening to harm

1055
01:07:32,070 --> 01:07:35,640
the company if his demands were
not met. Later Monday, Nike

1056
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,070
responded by saying that it was
complying with federal

1057
01:07:38,070 --> 01:07:41,760
investigations in NCAA
basketball, and will not be

1058
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,180
extorted. Celebrity attorney
Mark Geragos was named a co

1059
01:07:45,180 --> 01:07:48,450
conspirator in the Avanade case,
which was filed in the Southern

1060
01:07:48,450 --> 01:07:49,710
District of New York.

1061
01:07:49,890 --> 01:07:52,380
Yeah, I remember this and I
remember making a deal about it

1062
01:07:52,380 --> 01:07:56,670
on no agenda. And I got a number
of emails from from people, my

1063
01:07:56,670 --> 01:08:01,890
friends who said oh man,
Gallegos is an ok guy. So you

1064
01:08:01,890 --> 01:08:06,060
know, they weren't sure what was
up with the with Avenatti. And

1065
01:08:06,060 --> 01:08:10,200
what how that fit together, but
they were definitely I mean, I

1066
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:12,510
think he's also Adam Carolla is
lawyer.

1067
01:08:13,650 --> 01:08:16,830
Speaking on the weird love
triangle that's going on there

1068
01:08:16,830 --> 01:08:21,300
between Abinadi Nike and gara
goes where gara goes and Abinadi

1069
01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:26,010
were partners with a Abinadi
he's trying to extort Nike. And

1070
01:08:26,010 --> 01:08:29,610
then you got Colin Kaepernick
working for Nike, and he's

1071
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,180
Gehrig's Disease lawyer. So it's
just wait, it's just well, it

1072
01:08:33,180 --> 01:08:36,450
has nothing to add to the story,
but it was just a weird little

1073
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:39,480
No, it does it because I think
that's it's a tactic because

1074
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:42,510
it's probably a Gary goes
tactic. It's like, alright,

1075
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:44,640
well, we're gonna mess with you
over here because we need

1076
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,240
something for you for our for
for cap. And we're gonna make

1077
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,210
some trouble over here. And by
the way, I never heard a follow

1078
01:08:51,210 --> 01:08:53,940
up. It sounds totally plausible
that Nike was, you know, the

1079
01:08:53,940 --> 01:08:58,380
Nikes. scandalously giving money
to high school kids totally

1080
01:08:58,380 --> 01:09:01,920
believable. And I remember they
came out and I think they

1081
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,950
countersued and I don't know
what happened to so and that's

1082
01:09:04,950 --> 01:09:08,940
also odd. So why didn't they
vigorously defend that make a

1083
01:09:08,940 --> 01:09:12,360
big? Was there a lawsuit? Was
there a court ruling? It kind of

1084
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,180
fizzled away. So it sounds like
shenanigans.

1085
01:09:15,900 --> 01:09:19,050
Yeah, so I just add that in
there. It doesn't have any any

1086
01:09:20,310 --> 01:09:25,770
value to the timeline. It was
just a weird little factoid.

1087
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,770
Do you have another question?
What the hell station did you

1088
01:09:28,770 --> 01:09:31,500
get that clip from where there's
some British woman talking about

1089
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:31,740
our

1090
01:09:31,739 --> 01:09:37,709
sport? That's the only place I
could find anything on that

1091
01:09:37,709 --> 01:09:41,789
subject. Okay. All over the web.
I mean, you know, I

1092
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:46,500
see our future researchers.
Yeah, you're researching. You

1093
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:47,190
are so

1094
01:09:47,190 --> 01:09:51,090
just to give the audio backing
or background I need it. That's

1095
01:09:51,090 --> 01:09:58,020
That's why I found it. So that's
one lawsuit. I mean, but so now

1096
01:09:58,050 --> 01:10:00,930
Colin Kaepernick he ends up
selling one With the NFL,

1097
01:10:01,110 --> 01:10:03,330
a surprise development happened
just as we were walking into

1098
01:10:03,330 --> 01:10:06,990
studio. Former NFL quarterback
Colin Kaepernick has settled his

1099
01:10:07,260 --> 01:10:09,750
lawsuit with the National
Football League Kaepernick sued

1100
01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:13,290
the league last year, claiming
32 teams colluded to keep him

1101
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:17,580
off the NFL roster because he
was taking a knee during the

1102
01:10:17,580 --> 01:10:20,700
national anthem. Now, we don't
know many details about the

1103
01:10:20,700 --> 01:10:23,730
settlement. But Kaepernick had
previously signaled that only a

1104
01:10:23,730 --> 01:10:26,760
lucrative financial payout will
convince him to drop the suit.

1105
01:10:26,910 --> 01:10:29,190
What does this mean? And what
does it mean for Kaepernick

1106
01:10:29,190 --> 01:10:31,650
future he's 31 years old, you
would have to think he could

1107
01:10:31,650 --> 01:10:34,650
still play if he wants. Fox News
contributor she used to be at

1108
01:10:34,650 --> 01:10:37,920
ESPN where she thrived there.

background Britt Michael Freeman
a respected NFL reporters

1110
01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:45,090
reporting get this that he's
getting $60 million. What does

1111
01:10:45,090 --> 01:10:45,870
that tell you?

1112
01:10:46,650 --> 01:10:50,340
It tells me Brian that money
will make a problem go away or

1113
01:10:50,340 --> 01:10:53,550
it will make a social justice
warrior really happy and really

1114
01:10:53,550 --> 01:10:55,740
rich but I have to tell you I
did a little reporting on my own

1115
01:10:55,740 --> 01:10:58,560
I reached out to an NFL source
of mine and NFL agent who said

1116
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,470
he would be shocked if that was
the number

1117
01:11:02,370 --> 01:11:05,400
well it was the number wasn't it
was that it was high I thought

1118
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,240
well the Wall Street Journal
came back and reported that was

1119
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,740
way low. We're talking about his
single digit millions. So that

1120
01:11:13,740 --> 01:11:16,710
60 was right after the
settlement had like closed

1121
01:11:16,710 --> 01:11:19,980
finalized. So I think that was
attacked at this show. The

1122
01:11:20,190 --> 01:11:24,870
cabinet took put the NFL over
the barrel kind of thing

1123
01:11:25,470 --> 01:11:30,270
in the law, and the lawsuit was
specifically because he was

1124
01:11:30,270 --> 01:11:33,720
colluding because they were
teams were colluding not to not

1125
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,130
to not to hire it's

1126
01:11:35,130 --> 01:11:42,300
a black ball and white ball on
Mojave spectrum Euro Well, yeah,

1127
01:11:42,330 --> 01:11:44,970
um, yeah, that was what it was.
Stop

1128
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,560
stop the show. Yes. Do you with
your with your other friends?

1129
01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:54,420
Say white balling. Is that a
blackballing? No, that's I just

1130
01:11:54,420 --> 01:11:58,440
want to make sure Okay, just
checking man that's that's what

1131
01:11:58,440 --> 01:12:00,600
the show is about to I gotta
lie. You want to know what's

1132
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,470
going on? All right.

1133
01:12:01,980 --> 01:12:05,040
Yeah, so that's the world term
for blackballing is

1134
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,510
I'm gonna use that everywhere
now. Hey, bro, Stuff White

1135
01:12:09,510 --> 01:12:11,490
balling me. Okay, um, just
practice?

1136
01:12:11,910 --> 01:12:17,250
Yeah, so, um, but him settling
didn't sit well with a lot of

1137
01:12:17,250 --> 01:12:21,600
people because what they tried
to do was tie, Colin Kaepernick

1138
01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:25,140
and with Ali. That was the
comparison. You know, a Muhammad

1139
01:12:25,140 --> 01:12:28,920
Ali for those people that don't
know, which was a book, bullshit

1140
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:33,300
comparison. Excuse my language.
Because Muhammad Ali was the

1141
01:12:33,300 --> 01:12:39,660
best at his sport. Yes. And he
refused to be used by the

1142
01:12:39,660 --> 01:12:44,190
military industrial complex, as
we saw in previous shows, go

1143
01:12:44,190 --> 01:12:48,630
look at how they use our Joe
Lewis. Because he wasn't, they

1144
01:12:48,630 --> 01:12:51,060
weren't, they'll put a gun to
Ali's hand and you know, making

1145
01:12:51,060 --> 01:12:52,500
go fight in Vietnam.

1146
01:12:52,530 --> 01:12:54,900
They wanted to do the Elvis
trick. You know, I was like,

1147
01:12:54,900 --> 01:12:55,200
Alright.

1148
01:12:56,070 --> 01:12:59,640
Yeah. We'll call the USO I
believe are you where you go

1149
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,460
around? And you know, do some
exhibitions? I mean, they use

1150
01:13:02,460 --> 01:13:06,000
Joe Lewis Zack, same way in
World War Two. Yeah. But I'll he

1151
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,450
was like, No, I'm not going to
do it. Now for for religious

1152
01:13:09,450 --> 01:13:12,300
reasons. That was his whole
purpose. He said, I'm a minister

1153
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:16,530
for the Nation of Islam. I'm not
going to fight your war. And he

1154
01:13:16,530 --> 01:13:20,340
sat down for three years. He
didn't settle. You know, he took

1155
01:13:20,340 --> 01:13:22,740
you notice that he spoke about
the whole thing. So Colin

1156
01:13:22,740 --> 01:13:28,200
Kaepernick settling really hurt
his case. And Steven a Smith

1157
01:13:28,980 --> 01:13:30,750
took issue with it. Well,

1158
01:13:30,780 --> 01:13:33,600
here's where the problem lies.
What did you when Colin

1159
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,830
Kaepernick. I want to know the
money. I want to know what the

1160
01:13:37,830 --> 01:13:42,390
details of the settlement are.
That's what I want to know. You

1161
01:13:42,390 --> 01:13:45,630
don't sit up there and get to
get martyred by everybody and

1162
01:13:45,630 --> 01:13:49,410
their grandmother all of these
years, over the last two years,

1163
01:13:49,530 --> 01:13:52,470
with everybody making a case
about how he's being

1164
01:13:52,470 --> 01:13:56,010
blackballed. He's being
ostracized and all of this other

1165
01:13:56,010 --> 01:13:59,670
stuff. You don't get to sit up
there and send out tweets. Thank

1166
01:13:59,670 --> 01:14:03,930
you, Jana and other stars who
refused to perform at halftime

1167
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:08,670
for the Super Bowl and protest
and supportive you because their

1168
01:14:08,670 --> 01:14:11,700
belief was that you had been
blackballed, and as a nation of

1169
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:15,030
folks, particularly from the
minority community, that have

1170
01:14:15,030 --> 01:14:18,000
been standing up screaming,
hooting and hollering about how

1171
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,510
you have been ostracized, how
you have been mistreated, and

1172
01:14:21,510 --> 01:14:24,450
then all of a sudden you quietly
reach a settlement and we don't

1173
01:14:24,450 --> 01:14:27,420
know what the hell it entails.
That's my problem with all of

1174
01:14:27,420 --> 01:14:27,630
this.

1175
01:14:28,589 --> 01:14:30,749
Everybody wants some a little
taste of that money.

1176
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,430
So Colin Kaepernick is on the
outs again.

1177
01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:40,050
This is they're doing it very
well whoever's running him

1178
01:14:40,050 --> 01:14:41,160
they're doing a good job

1179
01:14:42,900 --> 01:14:45,900
because he's like man you took
you took the money you were

1180
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:49,890
opposed to take the NFL owners
to trial you know, expose them,

1181
01:14:50,310 --> 01:14:54,660
you know, for for white balling
you. And that was the whole

1182
01:14:54,660 --> 01:14:58,440
purpose but for for his speaking
from his backer standpoint of

1183
01:14:58,440 --> 01:15:02,670
view. Oh, This is what they
wanted to show, you know, the

1184
01:15:02,670 --> 01:15:06,990
power structure that they can be
on Sam, you know, made to kneel

1185
01:15:07,020 --> 01:15:16,770
for me pun intended, right? So
here we are, present day, a NFL

1186
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:21,600
so we were gonna go to one of
the most official sports

1187
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,210
references there is the real.

1188
01:15:24,480 --> 01:15:27,750
So last night it was announced
for the NFL that Colin

1189
01:15:27,750 --> 01:15:30,690
Kaepernick was invited to a
private workout in Atlanta this

1190
01:15:30,690 --> 01:15:34,590
Saturday, which means that this
free agent man might have the

1191
01:15:34,590 --> 01:15:41,250
chance to play on the NFL team
again. We all know if you did

1192
01:15:41,250 --> 01:15:44,130
it, but he stirred up some
controversy in 2016 when he took

1193
01:15:44,130 --> 01:15:46,920
a knee to protest police
brutality. So I want to know how

1194
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,640
you guys feel about this chance
of Colin being back on the NFL.

1195
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:04,230
I think that what Colin kneeling
for were still working on to try

1196
01:16:04,230 --> 01:16:07,740
to improve police brutality, but
he brought attention to it

1197
01:16:08,580 --> 01:16:13,740
sacrificed a lot. And I just
want to remind people that Colin

1198
01:16:13,770 --> 01:16:17,280
opted out of his contract in
2017. He was not fired. He opted

1199
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:21,660
out to try to get more money.
And then what happened was with

1200
01:16:21,660 --> 01:16:24,720
all the kneeling and everything,
there was some controversy about

1201
01:16:24,750 --> 01:16:28,110
bringing him back. They had a
settlement because there was a

1202
01:16:28,110 --> 01:16:33,360
lawsuit about a collusion to
keep him out. They settled it.

1203
01:16:33,420 --> 01:16:38,250
It was confidential, the you
know, what have ya so we don't

1204
01:16:38,250 --> 01:16:41,190
know actually what was the
requirements, but then it just

1205
01:16:41,190 --> 01:16:42,660
seems like he was still getting

1206
01:16:43,260 --> 01:16:47,310
blackballed. Amen. Did the
ladies have the real just alter

1207
01:16:47,310 --> 01:16:48,180
history there?

1208
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,560
No, they laid it out perfectly
like it was and that's why

1209
01:16:52,710 --> 01:16:56,970
that's why I use that clip. What
did you find? As altered,

1210
01:16:57,630 --> 01:17:00,960
that he that he opted out of his
contract in 2017. Maybe I

1211
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:01,860
misunderstood.

1212
01:17:02,490 --> 01:17:05,820
That's very factual. He had one
more year left with the San

1213
01:17:05,820 --> 01:17:09,690
Francisco 40, Niners and he
opted out of that final year.

1214
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,290
Okay.

1215
01:17:11,310 --> 01:17:15,780
Well, first of all, I now I'm
happy that I know that I can

1216
01:17:15,990 --> 01:17:18,870
brush up on my football by
watching the ladies of the real

1217
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,550
happy about that. I like that.
Okay,

1218
01:17:23,580 --> 01:17:28,200
so the, the the reason why I use
this clip is to ask you the

1219
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,620
other question you had about his
celebrity. Now, do you see how

1220
01:17:31,620 --> 01:17:32,730
big it is? Big,

1221
01:17:32,820 --> 01:17:34,170
big? Yes. Gotcha.

1222
01:17:36,390 --> 01:17:42,270
So now, we're at present time.
The skit though? Oh, was it last

1223
01:17:42,270 --> 01:17:48,180
Saturday? This the workout was
in you made an astute

1224
01:17:49,020 --> 01:17:53,220
observation that this was a
private combine. For Mr. Colin

1225
01:17:53,220 --> 01:17:56,760
Kaepernick. Nobody had ever seen
this before one player combine,

1226
01:17:57,060 --> 01:18:00,660
were all at all it was what 25
teams were going to come to see

1227
01:18:00,660 --> 01:18:06,270
him showcase his abilities. But
as expected on my part, it

1228
01:18:06,270 --> 01:18:13,680
didn't go off as planned. And it
was it ended. And Mr. Colin

1229
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,700
kapernick, coming from out of
the shadows, and actually

1230
01:18:17,700 --> 01:18:20,640
getting from the microphones and
having a rant.

1231
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,020
Let me start by saying, I
appreciate y'all coming out.

1232
01:18:28,020 --> 01:18:30,720
That means a lot to me. Our
biggest thing with everything

1233
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,650
today was making sure we had
transparency of what went on. We

1234
01:18:34,650 --> 01:18:37,260
weren't getting that elsewhere.
So we came out here. It's

1235
01:18:37,260 --> 01:18:40,470
important that you're here.
Y'all been attacked for the last

1236
01:18:40,470 --> 01:18:44,340
three years. Y'all continue to
be attacked. We appreciate what

1237
01:18:44,340 --> 01:18:48,210
y'all do. We appreciate you
being here today. We appreciate

1238
01:18:48,210 --> 01:18:51,060
the work you do for the people
and telling the truth. That's

1239
01:18:51,060 --> 01:18:55,140
what we want everything. Be
ready for three years. I've been

1240
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:58,350
denied for three years. We all
know why I came out here

1241
01:18:58,350 --> 01:19:00,870
shoulder today in front of
everybody. We have nothing to

1242
01:19:00,870 --> 01:19:04,440
hide. So we're waiting for the
32 owners to start the two

1243
01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:08,760
teams, Roger Goodell of them to
stop running. Stop running from

1244
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,660
the truth. Stop running from
people. Around here. We're ready

1245
01:19:12,660 --> 01:19:16,920
to play. Ready to go anywhere.
My agent Jeff Nalley is ready to

1246
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:21,840
talk to any team. Interview a
team at anytime. A band ready.

1247
01:19:21,930 --> 01:19:25,530
I'm staying ready. Now continue
to be ready. And so all the

1248
01:19:25,530 --> 01:19:29,700
people that came out here today
to support appreciate y'all. I

1249
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:33,150
love y'all to the people that
aren't here. I'm thinking about

1250
01:19:33,150 --> 01:19:36,420
you. I appreciate your support
from where you are. We'll

1251
01:19:36,420 --> 01:19:39,810
continue to give you updates as
we're here. We'll be waiting to

1252
01:19:39,810 --> 01:19:44,670
hear from Roger Goodell, the NFL
the 32 teams will let you know

1253
01:19:44,670 --> 01:19:47,850
if we hear from them balls in
their court. We're ready to go

1254
01:19:52,470 --> 01:19:56,970
so yeah, I saw this and I and I
got my interest because I know

1255
01:19:56,970 --> 01:20:00,540
he doesn't talk. And I of course
I learned that from you Okay,

1256
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:06,150
and and I see him there. And I
mean, here's what my spidey

1257
01:20:06,150 --> 01:20:10,410
sense, told me one, he's wearing
his Nike shirt. Like, okay,

1258
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:16,380
that's not you know, when, when
you're a paid endorsement a

1259
01:20:16,380 --> 01:20:21,000
spokesmodel. You don't put it on
for free. And you put it on when

1260
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,190
you're told to put it on and and
there's always something

1261
01:20:23,190 --> 01:20:26,490
associated with that. And the
second one, he kept saying, We

1262
01:20:26,490 --> 01:20:30,000
ready, we ready, we ready. And
to me that felt like a JUST DO

1263
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,030
IT type thing. It felt like a
campaign.

1264
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,780
Yeah, the whole this whole thing
was a media stunt. I mean, let

1265
01:20:39,780 --> 01:20:44,340
me be clear, because I'm biased.
This whole thing was a media

1266
01:20:44,340 --> 01:20:48,330
stunt from both sides. The NFL
put this thing on because

1267
01:20:48,330 --> 01:20:50,670
they're having their 100 year
anniversary, and they wanted to

1268
01:20:50,670 --> 01:20:54,690
put a nice little bow on this
whole Colin Kaepernick thing and

1269
01:20:54,690 --> 01:20:58,890
have it be over with, right.
They know he don't want to play

1270
01:20:58,890 --> 01:21:03,030
football. They know this as we
see it. Now. It's like, every

1271
01:21:03,030 --> 01:21:05,010
time this guy gets the
opportunity to play football,

1272
01:21:05,010 --> 01:21:08,340
some as something happens where
he blows it himself. So what

1273
01:21:08,340 --> 01:21:11,520
we're going to do is we're going
to put on this huge spectacle in

1274
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:18,420
Atlanta, in the blackest city in
America and invite him on down.

1275
01:21:19,290 --> 01:21:22,350
And then we're gonna let him put
the ball, we're gonna put the

1276
01:21:22,350 --> 01:21:25,440
ball in his court. What No, no,
no, no, no,

1277
01:21:25,470 --> 01:21:29,550
then the handler's went to
Katherine. Oh, no.

1278
01:21:30,690 --> 01:21:37,530
So what they did was three hours
before the private workout was

1279
01:21:37,530 --> 01:21:40,110
posted began. They said, No,
we're not doing that. We're

1280
01:21:40,110 --> 01:21:43,440
going to hold our own workout.
And that's where this clip was

1281
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:48,210
taken from, that we just heard.
It was. Now if you have three if

1282
01:21:48,210 --> 01:21:50,760
you know you're not going to
well, you know what, I'm gonna

1283
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:55,380
let Stephen A Smith. And it's
important that we use Stephen A

1284
01:21:55,380 --> 01:21:58,500
Smith throughout this whole
story because they're juxtaposed

1285
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:01,230
and we'll get to that, why and
how they're juxtaposed in a

1286
01:22:01,230 --> 01:22:05,700
minute. But Stephen speaks on
Khan Academy and doesn't want to

1287
01:22:05,700 --> 01:22:07,200
play he wants to be a martyr.

1288
01:22:07,470 --> 01:22:11,280
So let me get this straight.
Colin Kaepernick has been

1289
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:18,240
working out all of this time.
Him, people in his camp is

1290
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,000
closed ones loved ones everybody
talks about he wants to play

1291
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,400
football. He wants to play
football. He's ready to play.

1292
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:30,060
Just give him the tans. So what
does the NFL do? Recognizing

1293
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:36,060
that teams need a shield?
Because they need something to

1294
01:22:36,060 --> 01:22:40,470
hide behind? Because they know
that guess what? If we bring

1295
01:22:40,470 --> 01:22:43,050
this brother in for a workout
and we don't like him or we

1296
01:22:43,050 --> 01:22:46,590
don't want him who knows what
we're going to get accused of?

1297
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:51,270
We need copper. So the NFL
provides that I have no doubt

1298
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:54,030
Jay Z's involved. I have no
doubt Roger Goodell was involved

1299
01:22:54,150 --> 01:22:56,010
I have no doubt there's a host
of people involved but

1300
01:22:57,870 --> 01:22:58,710
I liked his guy

1301
01:23:00,660 --> 01:23:02,970
nice he's a sports sports
caster. Yeah.

1302
01:23:03,510 --> 01:23:09,120
Oh, he is the sports caster over
ESP. Okay, gotcha. So this

1303
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,750
happened this was Saturday
afternoon at the Colin cabinet

1304
01:23:12,750 --> 01:23:17,760
makes his rent Steven a Smith
you're saying is beside himself?

1305
01:23:18,300 --> 01:23:22,530
Because I think he kind of
smells what's going on?

1306
01:23:22,530 --> 01:23:24,990
He's on he's totally on to it.
He sees sees it or

1307
01:23:25,020 --> 01:23:29,520
Yeah, of course. But we're gonna
let Stephen a spirit continue

1308
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,440
about him being a martyr. This
man,

1309
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:41,220
one of the Champs 25 teams show
up in Georgia. At the Atlanta

1310
01:23:41,220 --> 01:23:44,640
Falcons practice facility
started off facility, NFL

1311
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,990
personnel, equipment,
everything, video, everything.

1312
01:23:50,190 --> 01:23:54,060
And what does Colin Kaepernick
do? Not Tuesday, when he found

1313
01:23:54,060 --> 01:23:57,120
out about an hour Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

1314
01:23:58,260 --> 01:24:00,990
three hours before the workout

1315
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:06,120
because of some issue with a
liability waiver.

1316
01:24:08,790 --> 01:24:12,420
Colin Kaepernick wants to change
the venue. Colin Kaepernick

1317
01:24:12,420 --> 01:24:16,230
wants his own receivers. Colin
kapernick wants to video thinks

1318
01:24:16,230 --> 01:24:22,530
himself. Colin Kaepernick wants
to media this Colin Kaepernick

1319
01:24:22,530 --> 01:24:25,590
media can't find him. He doesn't
know interviews. He talks to

1320
01:24:25,590 --> 01:24:28,620
nobody media can't find him, but
he wants to do it. He wants to

1321
01:24:28,620 --> 01:24:34,110
be available now. He don't want
to play. He wants to be a mater,

1322
01:24:34,410 --> 01:24:36,210
an agent of change.

1323
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:45,120
So a lot of he was he's been
critical as we heard in previous

1324
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,750
clips of Colin Kaepernick not
voting. But other times he's

1325
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:52,230
been supportive for Colin
Kaepernick on his show. But

1326
01:24:52,410 --> 01:24:57,000
Colin Kaepernick not only didn't
piss off Stephen A Smith, he

1327
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,540
also was pissed off undisputed
host Shane In a sharp,

1328
01:25:00,750 --> 01:25:03,780
I'm disappointed with how calf
handled the situation. I think

1329
01:25:03,780 --> 01:25:06,030
everybody knows this watch this
show for the last three years

1330
01:25:06,030 --> 01:25:08,760
Kip, I've been wanting to calf
biggest supporters. You and I

1331
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:12,120
talked talked about this, I
believe every single day for

1332
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:14,670
about three or four months, when
everybody else touched on it at

1333
01:25:14,670 --> 01:25:17,790
the beginning and left the
subject alone. You and I talked

1334
01:25:17,790 --> 01:25:20,850
about it. I talked to cap, I
knew how much he wanted to get

1335
01:25:20,850 --> 01:25:24,270
back into league. And I even
coined a term, coined the term

1336
01:25:24,450 --> 01:25:27,870
as the cap has been white ball
that has not changed. But the

1337
01:25:27,870 --> 01:25:32,160
way he handled this situation
skip now, key knew that he

1338
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,910
received this on a very short
notice. He could have said, you

1339
01:25:35,910 --> 01:25:39,270
know, I my representatives have
just given me word that the NFL

1340
01:25:39,270 --> 01:25:44,040
has set up a workout for me. I
will get back to you. As soon as

1341
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:48,900
I know more details. He jumped
in headfirst. So you knew this

1342
01:25:48,900 --> 01:25:53,880
was gonna be on a Saturday. He
turns around because when he did

1343
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:58,710
skip, he's in his camp and his
supporters says the NFL wants to

1344
01:25:58,710 --> 01:26:02,010
control the narrative. Well, the
NFL says we them should let you

1345
01:26:02,010 --> 01:26:05,610
control the narrative. And he
walked into a trap that they

1346
01:26:05,610 --> 01:26:10,080
said what cap is trying to do is
cap is trying to appease a

1347
01:26:10,110 --> 01:26:13,980
audience that has no role in him
getting a job. You can showcase

1348
01:26:13,980 --> 01:26:16,620
your talent for the immediate
all you want to you can try to

1349
01:26:16,620 --> 01:26:19,530
appease your fan base all you
want to, but they will play no

1350
01:26:19,530 --> 01:26:23,910
role and you're getting the job.
Can you show up to a job

1351
01:26:23,910 --> 01:26:26,130
interview with a cooter can t
shirt?

1352
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:33,930
J Yes, no, no, no. He should
have a hoodie that just says,

1353
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:39,990
Toby. Well, he can't do that. Of
course not. He can't do that.

1354
01:26:39,990 --> 01:26:42,270
Just to give you that. Oh, man,

1355
01:26:42,870 --> 01:26:49,290
as as you know, always like to
give context to the things that

1356
01:26:49,290 --> 01:26:53,640
you're saying that are
happening. By cool. I'm out by

1357
01:26:53,670 --> 01:26:59,490
let's say Kaepernick. But why
oh, I'm Colin Kaepernick showing

1358
01:26:59,490 --> 01:26:59,940
up with that.

1359
01:27:00,929 --> 01:27:04,769
Show title koonta Kaepernick,
there you go. That'll get some

1360
01:27:04,769 --> 01:27:05,789
SEO delegates.

1361
01:27:09,870 --> 01:27:14,730
They can't take shirt home. by
proxy. He's calling the NFL

1362
01:27:14,730 --> 01:27:15,720
owners were slave

1363
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:22,800
owners. And just for there may
be some younger listeners who

1364
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:27,540
didn't grow up with Alex Haley's
epic roots, the saga of an

1365
01:27:27,540 --> 01:27:31,800
American family. It's on
Netflix. I'm sure it's a must

1366
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,040
watch binge over the weekend,
the Thanksgiving weekend.

1367
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:44,280
So as you mentioned, Alitalia
had a slave. Pizza slave. trauma

1368
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,320
based entertainment, Carl roots.

1369
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,410
Thanks. Thank you for saying
that. Because when I say you

1370
01:27:49,410 --> 01:27:52,380
need to watch it. We have
discussed this before. Maybe we

1371
01:27:52,380 --> 01:27:54,480
discussed it just on the phone,
I think I don't think it was in

1372
01:27:54,480 --> 01:27:58,800
the show. It is totally trauma
based entertainment. Absolutely.

1373
01:27:59,550 --> 01:28:01,920
In fact, very traumatic to
watch.

1374
01:28:02,820 --> 01:28:06,750
To the point. My father said
when he saw it, they went to

1375
01:28:06,750 --> 01:28:14,460
school the next day, and we got
into brawls over it. Wow. So by

1376
01:28:14,460 --> 01:28:21,330
him using this icon of Kuta
kente. He know he knew what one

1377
01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:27,720
he knew what how the billionaire
petty, as we've laid out, owners

1378
01:28:27,750 --> 01:28:33,180
would take it and he knew what
it was signify to his super woke

1379
01:28:33,180 --> 01:28:38,490
crowd that he that back soon.
But for people that don't know

1380
01:28:38,490 --> 01:28:43,800
who called Tecate to Kuta Kente
is I want to explain what the

1381
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,720
significance of that is. I want
to hear you say your name. Your

1382
01:28:48,720 --> 01:29:10,590
name is Toby. What's your name?
Lord God helped him What's your

1383
01:29:10,590 --> 01:29:36,030
name? Toby say your name What's
your name? Toby. Change again.

1384
01:29:38,700 --> 01:29:46,380
What's your name? Toby. My name
is Toby

1385
01:29:50,220 --> 01:29:54,000
good. Yeah, that was the Yeah.

1386
01:29:55,920 --> 01:30:01,320
Ah. So in that scene, we have QA
Colin Kaepernick playing the

1387
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:05,640
role of cooltech kente. That
won't be broken. He wants to he

1388
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,080
wants to say his name is Toby

1389
01:30:07,110 --> 01:30:11,400
and we got the NFL and the
owners saying it's Toby. And

1390
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:11,640
who's

1391
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:16,320
the third character in there?
Steven a smooth. Oh Lord,

1392
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:17,460
they're gonna break it boy.

1393
01:30:20,250 --> 01:30:23,730
Damn. They just took the old
playbook.

1394
01:30:25,170 --> 01:30:30,030
Recycle that Dez perfect. Yes.
And now people are saying well

1395
01:30:30,030 --> 01:30:32,430
mo you're going a little far out
or

1396
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:36,390
I don't I don't think so. At
all. I totally see this. I mean,

1397
01:30:36,390 --> 01:30:41,850
it's okay. I stand up for you mo
I will I will defend you on this

1398
01:30:41,850 --> 01:30:42,120
one.

1399
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:46,980
to backup my claim Stephen A
Smith sighs biggest contract at

1400
01:30:46,980 --> 01:30:50,250
ESPN history. I want to talk
about Steven Naismith. According

1401
01:30:50,250 --> 01:30:54,840
to the NY Post, he has to
basically sign a new deal to

1402
01:30:54,840 --> 01:31:01,530
become ESPN its highest paid
talent on air personality in

1403
01:31:01,710 --> 01:31:06,150
their history. Okay, now this is
according to the NY Post. So

1404
01:31:06,390 --> 01:31:10,830
Steven Naismith is about to make
a lot more money. Okay. And

1405
01:31:10,830 --> 01:31:14,520
that's for the people who, you
know, like them and the people

1406
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,160
who don't, I know the people who
don't are really going to like

1407
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:21,060
this. Because quite frankly,
Steven Naismith is going to be

1408
01:31:21,060 --> 01:31:24,630
Richard Smith is in line to
become the highest paid on air

1409
01:31:24,630 --> 01:31:28,950
person at ESPN by potentially
boosting his salary to 10

1410
01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:32,460
million per year according to
the people with knowledge of

1411
01:31:32,490 --> 01:31:39,510
upcoming negotiations. Hmm This
is the Boolean play. Yes, sir.

1412
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:49,620
Stephen A. And you know what
this clip is from March 6. They

1413
01:31:49,620 --> 01:31:55,500
don't find they don't finalize
the deal. Until let it till last

1414
01:31:55,500 --> 01:32:02,100
week. Oh, how convenient. How
convenient, which ESPN has which

1415
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:06,780
is Disney has a lot of has a big
contract with the NFL. And

1416
01:32:06,780 --> 01:32:09,690
they're no more than Gosh,
Steven Naismith sizes, the

1417
01:32:09,690 --> 01:32:14,040
biggest contract in ESPN
history. Right before he goes on

1418
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:19,770
to attack. Public Enemy Number
One as far as NFL concern, Colin

1419
01:32:19,770 --> 01:32:20,280
Kaepernick.

1420
01:32:20,310 --> 01:32:26,370
So he Okay, so his contract was
done. Announce and then the

1421
01:32:26,370 --> 01:32:30,240
kapernick thing happens. Yes. No
perfect timeline. So of course,

1422
01:32:30,270 --> 01:32:33,690
ESPN, Xenon it Oh, man. Yes. So
what

1423
01:32:33,690 --> 01:32:38,700
you have is you have the Boulais
versus the woke crowd. I'm

1424
01:32:38,700 --> 01:32:42,120
sorry, which the woke crowd is
funded by Soros. People like

1425
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,430
that and the Boulais or more
establishments?

1426
01:32:44,460 --> 01:32:48,360
Well, you also made the right
connection. ABC that they have

1427
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:50,160
the contract for the games. I
don't even know.

1428
01:32:50,910 --> 01:32:53,490
Yeah, well, ESPN, they show on
Monday Night Football, right. So

1429
01:32:53,490 --> 01:32:53,640
they

1430
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:57,120
own they own everything. Okay,
so they own Stephen A Smith's do

1431
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,630
they own? They own everybody
except for this show. But we're

1432
01:33:00,630 --> 01:33:01,980
for sale for the right amount.

1433
01:33:04,470 --> 01:33:05,610
My name is coming to

1434
01:33:07,860 --> 01:33:09,660
I won't be I won't be broken.

1435
01:33:12,030 --> 01:33:15,330
Stephen A Smith in that in that
story you just made up there. I

1436
01:33:15,330 --> 01:33:17,160
don't want to be the slave
owner. No. All right.

1437
01:33:17,550 --> 01:33:20,820
No, no, what I'm saying is,
that's the reason why we do this

1438
01:33:20,820 --> 01:33:25,320
because we nobody know will
point these things out because

1439
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:29,820
everybody has a vested interest
on either sides. Right? I mean,

1440
01:33:29,850 --> 01:33:33,330
you know that that's why you do
the no agenda show. Because if

1441
01:33:33,330 --> 01:33:36,540
you have sponsors, it's like
shut up, Adam. Yes. You know.

1442
01:33:37,530 --> 01:33:42,810
Yeah, we refuse to do that. But
this has came at a cost of Mr.

1443
01:33:42,810 --> 01:33:48,480
Steven Naismith. Oh, Terrell
Owens confront Steven Naismith.

1444
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:52,740
So what he wanted was
transparency for people to see

1445
01:33:52,830 --> 01:33:56,160
the full workout to see the full
Colin Kaepernick. Again, you

1446
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,350
mentioned obviously Max is going
to get in here. Like I said, I'm

1447
01:33:58,350 --> 01:34:02,490
in the streets. Max almost seems
blacker than you, Steven A. with

1448
01:34:02,490 --> 01:34:04,710
with with what he was coming.

1449
01:34:06,060 --> 01:34:11,100
Here. With all due respect my
brother, I'm just man. I'm gonna

1450
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:14,040
check you right now. You don't
cry. Just say Tomatometer. Wait

1451
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:17,550
a minute, you don't cross the
line. First of all, like I said,

1452
01:34:17,580 --> 01:34:23,100
You, Colin Kaepernick, Eric
Reid, any of y'all that wanted

1453
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,770
to bait me in front of black
people and talk about what's

1454
01:34:25,770 --> 01:34:29,550
best for black people. Name the
time and place I'll show up. I

1455
01:34:29,550 --> 01:34:32,250
don't want to hear what's the
definition of blackness is the a

1456
01:34:32,250 --> 01:34:34,140
definitive definition of
blackness.

1457
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,050
And now Terrell is a player
right? Because he

1458
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:45,300
was a former player, and he says
that, Stephen A Smith's co hosts

1459
01:34:45,390 --> 01:34:49,350
Max Kellerman is black and is
Stephen A Smith.

1460
01:34:49,710 --> 01:34:52,290
This would seem like an insult

1461
01:34:53,730 --> 01:34:55,320
of the highest order.

1462
01:34:55,500 --> 01:34:58,080
That's what I'm thinking. That's
not a cool thing to say. And

1463
01:34:58,080 --> 01:34:59,130
this was on the air

1464
01:35:00,570 --> 01:35:04,410
Yes, this was on Stephen A Smith
show and let me just give some

1465
01:35:04,410 --> 01:35:10,470
background. Steven Naismith
sometimes takes the conservative

1466
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:15,600
side of art because this debate
shows him a max debate right and

1467
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:20,730
to keep max for seeming like the
racist white guy Steven by the

1468
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:24,330
by the structure of the show you
Steven a smear some most of the

1469
01:35:24,330 --> 01:35:28,050
time takes the conservative side
and let's Mack argue the liberal

1470
01:35:28,050 --> 01:35:32,460
side so he didn't look like the
races white guy right? Yes,

1471
01:35:32,940 --> 01:35:37,290
right. But if this crap has
blown up and Steven Naismith

1472
01:35:37,290 --> 01:35:40,290
space, but let me just give a
little point here, Steven

1473
01:35:40,290 --> 01:35:45,840
Naismith always like to say, I'm
a black man. Before he prefaces

1474
01:35:46,020 --> 01:35:52,980
in the statement. Let his co
host a white Jewish guy be

1475
01:35:52,980 --> 01:35:56,670
called blacker than him there.
Oh,

1476
01:35:56,699 --> 01:36:00,629
this is best.

1477
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:05,760
Terrell God goes on to invite
max to the cookout

1478
01:36:05,790 --> 01:36:08,640
here and I know Max, you didn't
have a chance to jump in and I'm

1479
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:09,840
sure you want a response. Okay,

1480
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,960
got a shot of explosive when to
you said tongue in cheek. You

1481
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:15,810
said that, Stephen that I seem
blacker than Stephen A and

1482
01:36:15,810 --> 01:36:18,540
Stephen A obviously had to
respond to that. And I want to

1483
01:36:18,540 --> 01:36:21,510
respond to that before I say
what I originally wanted to say.

1484
01:36:21,750 --> 01:36:24,690
Which is first of all, I can't
eat any more all the cookouts

1485
01:36:24,690 --> 01:36:28,620
I've been invited to like since
this whole thing came up. I see

1486
01:36:28,620 --> 01:36:33,120
Stephen as having inherited not
only your respect for authority,

1487
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:37,470
but a working knowledge of
reality and what it takes to get

1488
01:36:37,470 --> 01:36:40,590
ahead, no excuses. You can
always look for excuses. You can

1489
01:36:40,590 --> 01:36:42,510
look for things to lean on. You
can look for where it's not

1490
01:36:42,510 --> 01:36:47,220
perfect. Or you can do what you
have to do, which is what Steven

1491
01:36:47,220 --> 01:36:50,940
Hayes done. And I would say that
his his that your point of view,

1492
01:36:50,940 --> 01:36:55,080
Stephen A to Stephen A's point
of view is not less black

1493
01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:59,430
necessarily than someone else's
who's more strident. It is more

1494
01:36:59,430 --> 01:37:02,460
conservative in certain
respects. And my point of view

1495
01:37:02,460 --> 01:37:06,120
is oftentimes more progressive.
My own background is Jewish,

1496
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,030
secular, not religious, but
Jewish secular. So one of the

1497
01:37:09,030 --> 01:37:12,840
things you get around Passover
is act like you are a slave in

1498
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:16,380
Egypt. That's how I grew up. But
you know, with that tradition of

1499
01:37:16,380 --> 01:37:19,770
always look at the oppressed and
look for righteousness and

1500
01:37:19,770 --> 01:37:23,970
justice. And so I'm strident in
that way. However, me myself I

1501
01:37:23,970 --> 01:37:26,370
did not have to go through the
struggle like that.

1502
01:37:26,580 --> 01:37:29,970
Now explain the cookout? Is this
just some old cookout? Where

1503
01:37:29,970 --> 01:37:30,930
cookout is this?

1504
01:37:32,460 --> 01:37:37,470
He made it to the cookout.
Barbecue.

1505
01:37:38,850 --> 01:37:40,230
I want to be at the cookout.

1506
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:46,020
So the cookout is this stupid
thing that the woke people do?

1507
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:50,490
When white people do something
that's pleasing to them? They

1508
01:37:50,490 --> 01:37:53,490
say, Oh, he's invited to the
cookout.

1509
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,540
Oh, God, I'm learning so much
today. It's certainly.

1510
01:38:01,890 --> 01:38:06,000
So it's not my definition. I'll
let Busby explain to you what

1511
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:06,870
the cookout is.

1512
01:38:07,110 --> 01:38:09,780
Well, the cookout to me is like
we're blessed people come to the

1513
01:38:09,780 --> 01:38:12,750
blackity Black Flag all
generations get together. That's

1514
01:38:12,750 --> 01:38:15,360
the one place you can like teach
like the older generation is

1515
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:16,110
most of vacation

1516
01:38:16,110 --> 01:38:19,080
true. A cookout is a safe place
to be Well, friends and family

1517
01:38:19,110 --> 01:38:21,180
but good data is the only place
where you don't have to code

1518
01:38:21,180 --> 01:38:21,570
switch.

1519
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,000
It's immediate family and
siblings, aunts, uncles,

1520
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:27,300
cousins, neighbors, family
friends. Take aunties fake

1521
01:38:27,300 --> 01:38:27,960
uncles.

1522
01:38:28,050 --> 01:38:30,810
It was my Haitian education
school. That's where I learned

1523
01:38:30,810 --> 01:38:34,590
about my culture, my music, how
to cook like the importance of

1524
01:38:34,590 --> 01:38:35,490
family members.

1525
01:38:35,850 --> 01:38:38,970
Can people find it the cookout?
Okay,

1526
01:38:39,030 --> 01:38:43,230
you're not supposed to. Okay,
it's sounds pretty holy. This

1527
01:38:43,230 --> 01:38:44,250
cookout business.

1528
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:53,490
I mean, it's where if you're,
and this is gonna piss some

1529
01:38:53,490 --> 01:38:57,270
people off, but this one good.
So just beware. When you're a

1530
01:38:57,270 --> 01:39:02,130
black person, and you deal in
white, mostly white places,

1531
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:07,530
spaces a cookout to you? It's
like this magical place of

1532
01:39:07,530 --> 01:39:11,130
blackness. You know, to me, it's
some you know, some food on the

1533
01:39:11,130 --> 01:39:16,230
grill and you just kick back.
Yeah, but if you're live in

1534
01:39:16,230 --> 01:39:19,830
whitespaces, what are they how
they you term it, you know, to

1535
01:39:19,830 --> 01:39:22,920
be around a majority of black
people or something magical to

1536
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:27,210
them. And then to bring a white
person into that is the highest

1537
01:39:27,420 --> 01:39:31,740
of the highest order of
compliments that they bestow

1538
01:39:31,740 --> 01:39:34,560
upon a super white white person.
He invited

1539
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:38,670
to the cookout. He made it to
the barbecue,

1540
01:39:38,730 --> 01:39:41,910
you know what, the cookout
that's right

1541
01:39:43,350 --> 01:39:52,380
after cookout. So, it had to be
like I said it had to be the

1542
01:39:52,380 --> 01:40:01,140
highest insult to to Steven a
Smith because as not only does

1543
01:40:01,140 --> 01:40:05,250
Matt go on, he gets invited to
the cookout that he goes on to

1544
01:40:05,250 --> 01:40:08,640
why explain the struggle? Why
did you hear?

1545
01:40:10,380 --> 01:40:13,260
We talked about this point
yesterday, and what you're

1546
01:40:13,290 --> 01:40:16,260
alluding to there, it's actually
white privilege, black people

1547
01:40:16,260 --> 01:40:19,620
don't enjoy it. And I'm not
giving up any privilege not a

1548
01:40:19,620 --> 01:40:22,830
single bit of privilege, but I
will insist that all human

1549
01:40:22,830 --> 01:40:25,800
beings are so privileged and
that includes Kaepernick and if

1550
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,440
he wants to wear Kunta Kinte
eight shirt Good for him.

1551
01:40:28,590 --> 01:40:31,380
So at what point are you
following the story now you're

1552
01:40:31,380 --> 01:40:34,920
really angry because of what's
happening to your your, your

1553
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:39,960
relaxation, sport, football.
This This must be this must be

1554
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:40,800
maddening.

1555
01:40:41,550 --> 01:40:48,600
I'm so pissed and not about the
row. This guy said he'd not

1556
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,480
given up any of his player
privilege, and that's who you

1557
01:40:51,480 --> 01:40:55,140
invite to the cookout? Are you
serious? I mean, because to say

1558
01:40:55,170 --> 01:41:01,680
I have privilege is one special,
I have a special say you can't

1559
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:04,020
have privilege and they say
everybody else has it too,

1560
01:41:04,020 --> 01:41:07,170
because that makes it not a
privilege. Exactly. So I'll read

1561
01:41:07,170 --> 01:41:11,520
through his bullshit. It's like
yeah, I got that. Super white

1562
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:15,840
privilege, you know, and I let
go and none of it. Are you are

1563
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:19,470
you people? Are you not hearing
him? And what got me pissed off

1564
01:41:19,470 --> 01:41:25,440
is under the comments of the
Terrell Owens video, where he's

1565
01:41:26,310 --> 01:41:32,370
called Steven a word called call
max blacker than Stephen A. And

1566
01:41:33,330 --> 01:41:37,680
invited max to the proverbial
cookout. Everybody Yeah, yeah,

1567
01:41:37,710 --> 01:41:40,620
Max. He's super Whoa, yeah.
Invite him to the cookout in

1568
01:41:40,620 --> 01:41:44,430
Kona Marco gonna do you know, he
likes season meat. I'm like, Are

1569
01:41:44,430 --> 01:41:50,100
you gonna get a WUSA please yes,
you can get a WUSA anytime you

1570
01:41:50,100 --> 01:41:50,280
need

1571
01:41:58,470 --> 01:42:08,340
this is great. Thank you. This
is great. So as me Steven A had

1572
01:42:08,340 --> 01:42:13,620
an off with a cookout and Max
irksome. Oh, great. Colin

1573
01:42:13,620 --> 01:42:18,090
Kaepernick. People have reached
out to numerous folks. I was one

1574
01:42:18,090 --> 01:42:25,440
of them. They said he wants to
play. It's not fair. He did this

1575
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:29,760
for us. All he wants to do now
is put this behind him he wants

1576
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:35,130
to play. Will you help us? So
it's rock nation. It's Jay Z and

1577
01:42:35,130 --> 01:42:38,280
the crew is the NFL and Roger
Goodell went behind the backs of

1578
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,470
the executive VPS because they
didn't even know about the

1579
01:42:40,470 --> 01:42:45,120
workout. What happened was, he
has to work out. And then after

1580
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:49,530
the workout, he antagonizes the
very commissioner who helped put

1581
01:42:49,530 --> 01:42:54,210
this together, told him to stop
running, showed up with a Kuta

1582
01:42:54,210 --> 01:42:57,900
kente shirt on, you know,
essentially it said we'll see

1583
01:42:57,900 --> 01:43:00,750
once again that's see that's
where that's why I say you go to

1584
01:43:00,750 --> 01:43:02,970
that black barbecue or you want
to, but let me tell you

1585
01:43:02,970 --> 01:43:08,490
something right now. You cannot
have 31 White owners. You show

1586
01:43:08,490 --> 01:43:11,580
up with a cooter kit they shared
a basically alluding to them as

1587
01:43:11,580 --> 01:43:12,000
slaves.

1588
01:43:12,210 --> 01:43:14,730
You gotta gotta show your hat in
your hand and beg for the

1589
01:43:14,730 --> 01:43:15,270
opportunity to

1590
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:19,320
see that's why I'm saying
because the after this you gotta

1591
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,050
leave you go go home as the I
got to go in the black community

1592
01:43:22,050 --> 01:43:24,360
and deal with stuff just because
you interrupted me to make that

1593
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:24,720
point.

1594
01:43:27,180 --> 01:43:32,550
Wow. I'm speechless. One of
these days. Stephen A Smith is

1595
01:43:32,550 --> 01:43:34,350
gonna put maximum hands on max.

1596
01:43:34,380 --> 01:43:39,000
Yeah. Sounds like it's shut up.
Yeah, he's gone a bit far. Now.

1597
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:39,600
Max.

1598
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,710
Do you know because he like he
does it all the time. He's, he's

1599
01:43:43,740 --> 01:43:50,340
he's, he's super duper Whoa,
super duper Whoa. And they said

1600
01:43:50,340 --> 01:43:54,060
what she wants to do go what you
had in your hand. I mean, he's

1601
01:43:54,060 --> 01:43:57,150
projecting these things onto the
Steven Naismith and I don't know

1602
01:43:57,150 --> 01:44:01,200
if he realizes or not. He has to
be aware of because Max is a

1603
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:06,090
super super intelligent person.
So it's like by you saying that

1604
01:44:06,420 --> 01:44:10,800
that's what Stephen A Smith
means when he says that. It only

1605
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:11,730
makes it worse.

1606
01:44:13,650 --> 01:44:19,500
Okay, now and this was this past
week. These these clips. Yeah,

1607
01:44:19,530 --> 01:44:23,370
this is this is Thursday and
Friday. Thursday was when this

1608
01:44:23,370 --> 01:44:26,220
is Thursday is when I decided to
do this show. Because when I

1609
01:44:26,220 --> 01:44:31,500
heard the max is black and and
Stephen A Smith. I hit my best

1610
01:44:31,500 --> 01:44:36,570
friend and my he's my confidant,
you know, we talk about like,

1611
01:44:36,570 --> 01:44:41,640
how things are land. And I was
like, do Did you see this crap?

1612
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,780
And I was like, Yep, I gotta do
a show on this. I gotta, I gotta

1613
01:44:45,780 --> 01:44:48,240
cover this because this is an
Bucha right here.

1614
01:44:48,480 --> 01:44:51,480
Well, so you've set us up
perfectly for what's what's

1615
01:44:51,480 --> 01:44:55,830
coming next. And I can only
imagine with all these pieces on

1616
01:44:55,830 --> 01:44:58,230
the feet. I don't know what's
happening in football land and

1617
01:44:58,230 --> 01:45:01,980
what what a great moment will be
eat other than Super Bowl is the

1618
01:45:01,980 --> 01:45:06,780
only moment I know about. But it
seems like we need a Nike

1619
01:45:06,780 --> 01:45:11,460
campaign a shoe. And in some
kind of slogan or something we

1620
01:45:11,460 --> 01:45:15,600
need now he needs to cease needs
to start cashing in. And we know

1621
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,340
it's not going to be on playing
ball.

1622
01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:22,230
Now the NFL that's why I said
the NFL is part of this story is

1623
01:45:22,230 --> 01:45:26,520
a wrap. Because they proved to
him prove to people that want to

1624
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:30,330
see it. Colin Kaepernick doesn't
want to play in the NFL, because

1625
01:45:30,330 --> 01:45:33,960
we gave him the opportunity to
come showcase his talent. And he

1626
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:38,760
pulled this. I mean, he did. His
team did what was best for their

1627
01:45:38,790 --> 01:45:42,060
interests, and their interest is
not playing football, is to be a

1628
01:45:42,060 --> 01:45:45,480
social justice icon. So I
understand it from that

1629
01:45:45,480 --> 01:45:49,170
standpoint, I don't support it,
but I understand what their

1630
01:45:49,170 --> 01:45:52,980
motives were. And NFL got what
they want it because they got to

1631
01:45:52,980 --> 01:45:57,060
say, well, that's done. And now
which is where there's Colin

1632
01:45:57,060 --> 01:45:58,290
Kaepernick go from here.

1633
01:45:58,679 --> 01:46:02,309
Well, exactly. And it's, it's
going to be a complicated

1634
01:46:02,309 --> 01:46:06,599
affair. Because as far as so he
got paid. He got he got millions

1635
01:46:06,629 --> 01:46:11,399
of 123 20. Who cares? 1 million
is a lot of money. Mo

1636
01:46:12,510 --> 01:46:18,120
he's, we told you he signed the
deal for what 126 million? Yeah,

1637
01:46:18,150 --> 01:46:20,100
I mean, it's not like he's heard
from my I mean, that's

1638
01:46:20,130 --> 01:46:23,220
exactly but but Nike is in an
interesting spot. So we're going

1639
01:46:23,220 --> 01:46:30,150
to see is the NFL, the koonta
kente of Nike. Because Nike pays

1640
01:46:30,150 --> 01:46:35,910
a big ask Bill for all of this
stuff. Nike controls a lot in

1641
01:46:35,910 --> 01:46:39,720
sports. So if they say hey,
Kaepernick is our guy, and we're

1642
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:43,770
gonna use him for the Wii ready
campaign or whatever. antagonize

1643
01:46:43,770 --> 01:46:46,350
the NFL up to the Super Bowl.
Maybe I don't I don't know

1644
01:46:46,350 --> 01:46:49,740
anything about the football. But
it seems like that would be the

1645
01:46:49,740 --> 01:46:52,320
move. And I think it's gonna be
interesting. They're probably

1646
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:55,680
all in on it and just keep the
controversy going. Money flows.

1647
01:46:56,700 --> 01:47:00,810
The controversy definitely helps
Nike and NFL really can't fight

1648
01:47:00,810 --> 01:47:03,390
Nike because they're in bed with
them.

1649
01:47:03,420 --> 01:47:07,320
Yeah, they already they already
showed the NBA to shut up. Yeah,

1650
01:47:07,349 --> 01:47:10,709
so I mean, he's the daddy is
everybody's Daddy. Yes, Mac.

1651
01:47:11,969 --> 01:47:14,549
Well, and I got this question
for you might be the answer for

1652
01:47:14,549 --> 01:47:20,549
me. Now, when we talk about Nike
versus the NFL, that's one thing

1653
01:47:20,579 --> 01:47:23,069
but when we talk about Nike
versus Disney

1654
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:29,640
here Yeah, well, oh, gosh,
that's a good one. Because

1655
01:47:29,670 --> 01:47:35,820
Disney of course is the biggest
parent company. The evil

1656
01:47:35,820 --> 01:47:40,020
Deathstar. Man there's so big
there's so incredibly big, so

1657
01:47:40,020 --> 01:47:40,800
powerful.

1658
01:47:42,540 --> 01:47:45,720
And it's amazing that stitch
Shannon's sharpening kit, any

1659
01:47:45,750 --> 01:47:49,530
blowback from his identical
stance and Steven a Smith, right

1660
01:47:49,530 --> 01:47:53,190
Steven a Smith was labeled a bad
guy who works for ESPN. Who is

1661
01:47:53,190 --> 01:47:58,740
the parent company of of
daughter company of Disney, but

1662
01:47:58,860 --> 01:48:02,550
daughter company of Disney. Yes.
So that's where we add

1663
01:48:02,610 --> 01:48:04,200
Alright, so what do you think
what do you think's gonna

1664
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,360
happen? What do what are we what
are we look out for?

1665
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,480
I think something's gonna flare
back up again around the

1666
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:13,290
Superbowl time because Mr. Jay
Z. He's the he's been hired.

1667
01:48:13,740 --> 01:48:15,240
Yes, they've been planning.

1668
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:18,870
He's like a wedding planner for
football.

1669
01:48:20,610 --> 01:48:25,320
Glorified event planner. I mean,
let's be honest here. So I'm

1670
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:33,480
sure the woke crowd will have
something to say about candles

1671
01:48:33,480 --> 01:48:38,100
that the performances of the of
the NFL

1672
01:48:38,130 --> 01:48:40,350
alright, I'll make a prediction
roll. I'll make a prediction.

1673
01:48:40,950 --> 01:48:44,640
Yes, I'll make one. You will not
believe the Nike commercial

1674
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,400
you'll see during the Superbowl
that would be my prediction.

1675
01:48:48,660 --> 01:48:51,780
Wait one minute, wait one minute
almost slipped something out of

1676
01:48:51,780 --> 01:48:59,490
here. Okay, so there was the
article with the Colin

1677
01:48:59,490 --> 01:49:04,530
Kaepernick said he's gonna
schedule another workout this

1678
01:49:04,530 --> 01:49:08,700
spring and he's gonna take it to
wherever the South Florida where

1679
01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:14,850
the NFL owners hold their hold
their yearly conference it Uh

1680
01:49:14,850 --> 01:49:17,730
huh. But that's after the Super
Bowl. Right? That's after Super

1681
01:49:17,730 --> 01:49:20,370
Bowl. So I mean, that's that's
their plan for next season.

1682
01:49:20,850 --> 01:49:21,780
Yeah, you gotta keep the

1683
01:49:21,990 --> 01:49:25,560
course. You got you gotta gotta
keep the Colin Kaepernick show

1684
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:26,010
going.

1685
01:49:26,940 --> 01:49:29,880
He's gotten he's got picked up
he's got another season so he

1686
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:32,400
might as well the series is
doing well. If you can do three

1687
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:34,920
more years you can go into
syndication and live forever.

1688
01:49:36,390 --> 01:49:41,100
Wow. Mo thank you so much for
for unfolding this. Then again,

1689
01:49:41,100 --> 01:49:44,400
I learned a lot really because
not just because I'm a white guy

1690
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:50,100
is because I don't know
football. And that really, and I

1691
01:49:50,190 --> 01:49:53,130
took copious show notes. So
there'll be in the show notes,

1692
01:49:53,430 --> 01:49:58,800
which are all linked to Edmo
facts.com. And this is good.

1693
01:49:58,890 --> 01:50:02,520
Thank you so much. As you know,
there's a couple people I want

1694
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:06,510
to keep my eye on. Is you still
with the same girlfriend? Tab?

1695
01:50:06,540 --> 01:50:11,880
Yes. Okay. keep my eye on her.
And she's still tweet and we do

1696
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:13,950
that or did she stop tweeting?
Did she wish she

1697
01:50:14,130 --> 01:50:19,230
did and she's still she's still
working she still works and she

1698
01:50:19,230 --> 01:50:26,610
has an ordinary career on
television in radio and other

1699
01:50:26,610 --> 01:50:31,170
things. So it's this weird thing
that he you know, he takes all

1700
01:50:31,170 --> 01:50:38,610
the action or takes all the
brunt of the the blows and then

1701
01:50:38,610 --> 01:50:43,110
she she gets to live her life. I
mean, he to me, he's the use of

1702
01:50:43,140 --> 01:50:46,170
ATM and a puppet. And so

1703
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:52,260
and a fantastic Outro Song for
this show. Which relates to

1704
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:55,560
content Kaepernick. I'm just
gonna say it on the show. I

1705
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:59,160
won't say it anywhere else. It's
just between you and me. This is

1706
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:06,240
between you hey I'm the Steven A
they're so thank you, man. This

1707
