Larry okay. Okay. All right. Okay. Look, were going to jump forward a little bit. There was a very awkward moment after they made it clear to hillary after they held her responsible for the mass incarcerations of black men in the 90s based on the crime bill in 1994 that her husband signed and she championed. How do you actually feel thats different than you did before . For a moment of reflection on how we treat black people in this country . Mmhmm. Mmhmm.

Its psychologically fair. Its economically fair. I feel a but coming on. laughter larry is she going to but this, carlos . Technically, larry, i like to refer to it as as sentencetwerking. Larry oh. laughter okay. But youre going to have to come together as a movement and say, heres what we want done about it. Because you can get lip service from as many white people as you can pack into Yankee Stadium and a million more like it who are going to say, oh, we get it. We get it. Were going to be nicer. Okay . Thats not enough. Yes yes Yankee Stadium filled with white people laughter thats a metaphor. laughter larry im not sure thats a metaphor. That sounds like the actual thing. laughter holly, how did that sound bite register on the negrometric wave do hickey . Accelerator . Whoa, shes spiking. This kind of data usually indicates black people are expecting a fight to break out. laughter seriously, alreadiy. These are real housewives of atlanta numbers. Larry wow. laughter thats huge. It does appear that hillary seems to be not backing down. Lets watch some more. I say this as respectfully as i can, but if you dont tell black people what we need to do, then we wont tell you all what you need to do. Im not telling you. Im just telling you to tell me. Larry oh oh laughter [ audience ohs ] man what . ell, respectfully if that is your position, then i will talk only to white people.

You may actually change some hearts, but if thats all that happens, well be back here in ten years having the same conversation. Larry wow, i dont think ive ever heard hillary talk like that. I mean, so direct and authentic. Guys . Your thoughts . Sorry, larry. The negrometric wave accelerator doesnt measure authenticity. laughter it only measures [ bleep ] that black people are tired of hearing from politicians. laughter larry i see. Carlos . Sorry. I got nothing. Larry, id just like to say this is all part of a carefully orchestrated campaign i came up with called authenticity august. laughter it continues this weekend in iowa when hillary will accidentally get stuck in a well.

So please welcome to the show Daunasia Yancey and julius jones. cheers and applause hey. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Larry thats responsive. So finally, we got black lives matter on the show. laughter i need to ask you guys, so people have talked a lot about your message of disruption. Thats the word thats being used out there. I just want to know, why do you think its so important to make white people feel uncomfortable . laughter well, the when were talking about race in this country larry if thats what they mean by disruption. laughter . Right, right. applause . Yeah. When were talking about race in this country, thats often what happens, right . Is people get uncomfortable. What were looking for is to pursue that discomfort to really get to the root issues and to get to the root solution. Larry right. And white people hear roots, they already get laughter already causing problems. I dont know if you guys follow the news but this theres nice old white gentleman who was going to make a little speech and couple of black ladies thought that shouldnt happen. Mmhmm, mmhmm. Larry and there was a lot of flack because of that on both sides. So what is the deal with black lives Matter Movement and the Progressive Movement . Because it seems like that would be a natural ally. Mm. Larry but a lot of people thought, whats going on . Why are they tweaking the progressive part of the party . Do you have aanswer for that . As far as sometimes in your friendships, people are trying to form you know, you and your friend can be really honest with each other, right . And you can say, i like you, i love you, but i think youre acting up, right . But in this case, with bernie sanders, with all the other democratic nominees, right . They are not showing up for black lives, even the movement is happening. Its live. Its real. Its like we are pushing the needle. And folks are not showing up in real enough ways. Because bernie sanders, for smentgs he was walking with mlk, he aint walking that walk now. applause larry and as far as youre concerned, even if someone is an ally, you want to make sure theyre our current ally is what youre talking about, right . Accountability. Accountability. Larry i heard somebody which is great. laughter what dower hope to achieve in the next election . Are you just looking for allies out there . Is it legislation . Lets imagine 18 months from now. Its the inaugural address. President huckabee is giving a speech. laughter [ audience boos ] okay. President clinton is giving a speech. cheers and applause and also for black people, were going to what do you want to hear . I think there needs to be added to the requirements of president like economic understanding, Foreign Policy understanding. Needs to be added racial analysis. We live in a pleuralistic society. Were all kinds of people. These folks when theyre confronted with black lives matter, all they can say is all lives matter. Which on its face it seems like a very valid response, right . But actually, its a violent response because the only time you hear it is in response when someone says black lives matter. cheers and applause larry get your own slogan. Yeah. Larry okay. One more question. Where do you see now, we have a black president right now. Its a very historic couple of elections. Where do you hold obama accountable in all this . Do you hold him accountable . Are you holding his feet to the fire in this . Do you think theres extra responsibility for him . I think right now the focus of this president ial race, right. Absolutely, obama is accountable. No president of the United States has ever stood up for black lives in a significant and real effective way. And hes no different to be quite honest. Larry do you think his black side is more accountable than his white side . laughter you remember when the reverend Jeremiah Wright stuff went down. Larry do i remember . laughter absolutely. So after that, he gave this like really impassioned speech where he showed exactly how nuance and understanding of race was, and then it went away. Larry yeah. He put it like in that last scene in the raiders of the last arc. And brought it up now because obama dont give a [ bleep ]. laughter one last question. Do you have any plans and please say yes do you have any plans to disrupt trumps camp cheers and applause all of the president ial candidates yes. laughter larry well be right back. cheers and applause cheers and applause larry welcome back. Im here with my panel. Nightly show contributor mike yard. cheers and applause you can catch him this weekend at the florida theater in jacksonville, comedian lil duval. cheers and applause and shes an assistant professor at fordham university, christina greer. cheers and applause weve been talking about hillarys meeting last week with black lives matter. So i want to ask you, as just the regular people out there in the world, do you think black lives matter is getting through . I think so. Because they are a force to be reckoned with. I really do think the three women who founded black lives matter deserve a nopal peace prize nobel pea peace prize. cheers and applause its a global movement, and theyre very clear that its really about going at the root of the problem. Its really slow and steady. Theyve been pretty consistent since 2012 with the death of trafen or the murder of trafen martin, right . And the appeal exactly. applause larry youre out there in the clubs. What about the people . Do you think the people are feeling it out there, the people that you talk to, that kind of thing, or does it theyre feeling it through me. laughter the mean. Larry thats how we deal with everything. laughter what about the disruption part, mike . How important do you think that is . Especially because we talked about the bernie sanders. I dont know if people were pissed off about that. Why do you think that is . I think its necessary. You got to disrupt. Nobody no change in america has ever occurred with people being nice. It dont happen. laughter did you hear Martin Luther king . Martin luther king was not nice. Martin luther king did not go, hey, fellows, i have a dream, i would like to talk to you about it . No, he goes, i have a dream i think thats what important about this movement, though, is they rerejecting this politics respectability what we see in black america with a lot of elected officials where were slow and steady and if were nice enough, maybe wheel change some minds and hearts and change some policy. No, actually the time is now. Larry is there a time when it becomes respectable, we have a meeting with the president whoever the president is and we talk about policy . And whats the ultimate objective . Ill trying to figure out what does it look like when we get something . Well larry besides people not dying. But thats a huge isnt that a huge start . Its like stop murdering us. cheers and applause larry but thats i dont think thats a start. Weve been saying that for a long time. Yeah. But i larry i think we have to get beyond the words is what im talking about. Im tired of saying stop, stop, stop. I say it on my show every night. What is tangible action . I really think we need to worry about ourselves first and get ourself together. applause and then once we get our selftogether, then we can worry about its like in the street. Theres always killers out there. So you have to be in your own house and say, look, they out there killing. This is how you handle it. Dont worry about that. Once we get ourself together, then we can laughter [ bleep ] larry thats the thing to do . Criminals should stop killing . Yeah, criminals should stop killing. laughter . Regular people right now. Larry i agree with you that we need to definitely clean up some stuff that goes on in our neighborhood. We definitely need to do that, but that does not let them off the hook. No, it dont. Esnt. And i think what black lives matter is trying to do is trying to force america to live up to its promise, man. Everybody should be treated the same. cheers and applause i want to be able you know what i mean . Yes i dont want if i ask the cop, why are you arresting me that i might get shot. I dont think that thats right that i have to live like that. And i think thats what they trying to argue. applause larry go ahead. I also think because i completely disagree with everything you just said. laughter but i also think laughter larry so do i. We can do this. You about i really do think we can see that black lives matter moving into a policy prescription piece and theyre Holding Elected Officials and future elected officials accountable. They want them to say things on the record so that if and when they get elected, they have to follow through. Larry right. Because we know when a politician says something that they do it. Right. And when people but when people are watching them, they do it. The problem is we have voter fatigue and we have apathy and people dont watch their elected officials. They punch in every four years and then just go away. So the constant pressure is such a successful example of this movement. They have not let up. They are nothing like occupy wall street in my opinion. Larry this isnt going to get douchey like occup occupy wl street. laughter . Occupy wall street went down when it got cold. We know what we want. We dont want to get shot by the cops anymore. Ours is very simple laughter stop shooting us, policemen stop it. Larry well be right back. cheers and applause larry if you live in the new york city area or planning to visit, grab some free tickets to i have a video i want you to watch and no matter what i need you to stay focused. Dont take your eyes off of the screen. Sfx drill noise. Sfx puppies barking. Wrestlers ahhh grrr owwweee its hard to stay focused. Text message alerts from chevy let you send a text response at the touch of a button. So you can focus on driving. This will make it a little easier to keep my eye on the road. Its amazing. Only pull n peel lets you pull it, peel it, play it. Fun never tasted so good with chewy, fruity pull n peel candy from twizzlers. cheers and applause larry thats our show. I want to thank our panelists, mike yard, lil duval, and christina greer. And a special thanks to Daunasia Yancey and julius jones for being here tonight.
