A 00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:32.600 lot of people have been saying about Adidas. 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:34.100 What took so long? 00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:36.500 This is too little too late now yes, 00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:38.400 this bid to master their stocks. 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.400 All this came after public outrage. 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.200 I do think that they should have taken actions further, 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.400 but I'm not going to say that, 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.100 it's too little too late because ultimately, 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:50.000 they did the right thing and not as a huge business decision 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.400 and they made the right decision the moral decision which yes 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.600 should have been done a little bit sooner but I'm just glad 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.600 that they did the right thing. 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:00.800 What is your list? 00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:04.900 I'm sure there was some legal terms and contracts has to go through 00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:07.400 something to give credit where credit's due good for you. 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.200 Thank you Adidas for doing the right thing. 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:10.300 Looking now at 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.900 Kanye, as a whole here, I am reminded of what? 00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:18.100 Trevor Noah said, during his show last week, 00:02:18.100 --> 00:02:19.900 when someone ask them, you know what, 00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:21.600 you have beef with ye to think, 00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:22.600 I don't have beef with the a. 00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:28.100 Here's someone who actively has spoken out about him struggling 00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:32.500 with mental health and what happens when he's not on meds. 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:36.700 And someone is putting a mic in his face right now and both 00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:37.900 things are true. 00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:39.300 That he could have mental health issues, 00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:42.500 and this could be incredibly disrespectful and he's a horrible 00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.900 person. So, not just my one with the other, 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:46.600 but looking at Kanye now, 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.900 Something needs to give in terms of the neighbors were seen 00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:54.600 so much of that theme this season. 00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:58.300 In a blurs people are monsters because they're allowed to be monster. 00:02:58.300 --> 00:03:01.200 Someone needs to step up and do something about it and give 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:03.700 the same as a lot of people suffering from mental health issues 00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:07.000 and they are not spewing, hateful, comments and anti-semitic 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.300 comments. So of course, we want to be a huge issue that needs 00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.100 to be paid more attention to, but for me, 00:03:15.100 --> 00:03:17.400 that is not an excuse at all. 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.100 Now I really commend the people who have spoken out about this. 00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:24.000 There's been a lot of people in Hollywood Kim Kardashian. 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.300 His wife said something. 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:28.600 We've also seen that has a major agencies u t, 00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:31.200 a c, a, a birthday of all condemned, 00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:32.600 Kanye's, hateful speech. 00:03:32.600 --> 00:03:36.800 But we should also sat out the people who came down, 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.000 Kanye two weeks ago, people like David Schwimmer, 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.900 people, like Debra Messing, Jamie Lee Curtis, 00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:45.000 they saw this at the beginning, we start at the beginning, 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.900 we spoke about it, and I just want to say that, 00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:49.600 Words do matter. 00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:54.100 We saw this week in Los Angeles on the 405 freeway a banner 00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:57.600 from neo-nazis. I said Kanye was right about the Jews, 00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.200 it was after that that Adidas finally decided to drop him. 00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:03.700 So these words do matter. 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:06.300 There are 15 million Jews in the entire world. 00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:10.700 Kanye has over 18 million followers on Instagram alone. 00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:13.100 So people who don't think. 00:04:13.100 --> 00:04:15.300 There's consequences for your words. 00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:19.000 The Holocaust is not ancient history, it was less than a hundred 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.700 years ago. So we just need to remember that no form of no form 00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:25.800 of anti-Semitism should be allowed. 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.500 And this is nothing new, but I'm glad that if Kanye happened 00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:32.200 to be the trigger that people finally woke up and realize 00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:33.700 that anti-Semitism is alive. 00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:35.900 And well, then we just need to be aware. 00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:40.600 Hopefully, we can see that as a good sign and move in the right 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:40.800 direction. 00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:51.400 This week, the second installment of the Black Panther franchise 00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:55.200 comes four years after the passing of Chadwick Boseman, 00:04:55.200 --> 00:04:59.700 who played t'challa our beloved black panther we see no. 00:04:59.700 --> 00:05:03.000 Spoiler alert, I will let you know the movie lives up to the 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.700 hype positive reactions. 00:05:04.700 --> 00:05:08.000 Coming social media, praising, the performances of Leticia 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.400 Wright, Angela, Bassett, and Lupita Nyong'o. 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:15.000 This could be a big player for Marvel Studios because they made 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.400 history in 2018 by getting black, a nominee for best picture 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:19.500 for superhero to do. 00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:22.100 So, looking at this film, in this installment, 00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:26.100 I think we can pencil and Angela Bassett for supporting 00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:29.500 actress nomination.

I learned first movie to sell out of all the movies 00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:17.600 that were playing there. 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:31.000 That include Glass Onion, the good nurse like Miles Teller 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.600 had drew a huge crowd there, Top Gun like, 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.500 as we continue get closer to the end of the year. 00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:42.400 I'm thinking, we're going to see some real play for best picture 00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:45.300 here and it'll be interesting to see with all the popular 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:49.600 choices. What does Miles Teller or how does he fit into an awards 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.500 conversation? That I don't think we were thinking. 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:53.700 We could get a Best Supporting Actor nomination. 00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:57.800 I remember you and me, we were at the premiere together 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.200 of top gun Maverick at the Cannes Film Festival and we walked out 00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:03.300 and we looked at each other and we said this movie is going 00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:04.300 to make a billion dollars. 00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:21.300 And everyone's an unexpected, the prosecution, and the defense 00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:25.000 painted entirely different pictures of Harvey Weinstein, 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.000 who is on trial for the second time facing rape and sexual 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.400 assault allegation. Now, Harvey Weinstein, has already been 00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:35.100 convicted in New York and is currently serving a 23-year 00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:39.400 sentence, but these charges are entirely different now, 00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:41.500 you know, I covered in New York. 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:45.400 I'm now covered here in La, it's expected to be about two months 00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:47.600 this week. We had the first witness come up, 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:48.600 Jane do one. 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.700 It was grueling testimony she was on the stand for 3 days. 00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:54.000 She detailed her out. 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.300 Locations of rape and sexual assault as you would expect Weinstein's 00:08:58.300 --> 00:09:01.100 defense really hit her hard with cross-examination 00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:03.800 but something from the defense that's really getting a lot of 00:09:03.800 --> 00:09:06.600 attention as some of the language that they use in their opening 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.900 statement. While the DEA is saying that Harvey Weinstein 00:09:09.900 --> 00:09:13.400 was a monster who used his power to attack women. 00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:17.100 Essentially, his lawyers are saying no, that's actually 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:20.000 not true. There was a casting couch and everyone knew what they 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.400 were doing. They use the word transactional sex and said, 00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:27.100 these women were sleeping with him in order to get ahead. 00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:28.700 Now, Jennifer siebel Newsom. 00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:31.400 Who is the wife of California? 00:09:31.400 --> 00:09:34.400 Governor, Gavin.
