And nationwide protests continue but the rioting seems to have halted so as the death begins to fettle celebrities are emerging with their take on these recent events and the social unrest some are saying its their duty to use their platform to speak on these matters now Comedian Dave Chappelle weighed in and to write a new surprise netflix special lesson is if you want to listen to me do comedy. Ever i never said anything about these things before. So now all of the sudden this expects me to step in front of the streets and talk over the work these people are only as a celebrity and as somebody you want to see is to them right now we would just rule things does it matter about celebrity you know this is the streets talking for themselves they dont need me right. But celebrities you know are people too and i think we forget that sometimes but what if they dont want to talk about something about social injustice should they have to hear to talk about that the man whos interviewed everyone whos anyone larry king host of politicking all right larry what about this do celebrities have some sort of duty to speak up about social matters and what if they dont want to. Mogadishu nobody should be forced to speak about something they dont want to speak about but if you have a feeling about something you should speak out what americas all about celebrity otherwise if you have thoughts on whats going on in your country or shitty your state speak out thats what america is were not a nation to keep quiet were nation the revolution will born in revolution so i think its fine for celebrities to speak anybody of prominence who wishes to whats wrong with it. Well larry i think its pretty fair to say that an overwhelming majority of hollywood leans left politically so we can pretty much guess what theyre going to say about the current unrest but what about the few who lean right they seem to fear reprisal by casting directors or producers or even other actors because of their political beliefs some have likened this sort of political. Blackballing if you will to mccarthyism what do you think of that. Oh im against reprisal i dont believe aspersion should be denied something at work the course of their political beliefs mccarthyism was a man to you Left Movement that was terrible i lived through it. Yeah but you have no right to be fired just because of your opinion and if the right has a logical complaint about the left in california or new york or other areas of show business thats wrong they should not be withheld from work because of what they think they should not be withheld from the course of what they say because and again everybody should speak out you know me everybody speak out on what they see is injustice everybody i agree well what do you think of all this Council Culture that we live in larry i mean there are people calling for people like Tucker Carlson to be taken off the air because of you know his stance on all of this and people you know not wanting to go to starbucks because they dont let their employees wear. Paraphernalia rule foreigners rule for another you can protest to the cost you can if your sponsor you can remove that say thats american as apple pie you dont have to sponsor him if you are you can remove it i thought what he said was reprehensible but hes fox news gives him the time he has it and otago for a long time hes kind of always been this way out of my how to pinpoint it but its every right to he has every right to be on the air and i have every right not to watch him while there you go and larry do you think we as a country as a society have kind of crossed the rubicon are we ever going to be able to get back to this place where were besides coronavirus to actually get back together and laugh like we used to at a comedy show like saying i dont going to watch dave chappelle. We may never be what we used to we were different country. Knows i dont know whether thats sad or good but the old america is gone gone and do you think a lot of that besides the coronavirus has just added to that a separation between us. You know the 2 things coming together the coronavirus and Police Problems of coming together to create not only an american problem but a worldwide problem that is not going away this is seriously im better than most but no this is a different country we have to. And you know one thing larry that has come back because of the coronavirus i think we should bring up but i also think it adds to the separation that we cant be with each other anymore is that drive through theres a new demand for our not drive through is rather drive in movie theaters what do you think of that did used to go to them. When i was 18 i pitched in rec so they dont call it make me know what it is called make them out. You know i never saw the movie yeah i want to go but i never saw the movie if i got lucky.
