RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Stephen: you’ve been known for having the uncomfortable conversations. United shades of America had a lot of those uncomfortable conversations are always good. What you think the uncomfortable conversation America should be having that it isn’t right now?
>> Kamau: what is America and who gets to decide? Because right now, I think we all might have different ideas of what America is but I don’t care to decide. You don’t get to decide. Right now the billionaires are going to decide what America is and that’s not good for anybody. Until we understand that we all get a voice and we all get to help, then, we talk about the roman empire but when you go to Italy and look at the roman empire, you are looking at ruins. Around the corner, studio 54, used to be a hot nightclub. Now it’s an office building is America about to be an office building? Are we going to survive it or are we going to be the place that used to be cool?
>> Kamau: presently we are still studio 54?
>> Kamau: like in the mid-’80s, getting a little bit sad. C level celebrities. Emmanuel lewis. Is that baking powder? We are at that level.
>> Stephen: thanks for being here.
>> Kamau: thank you for having me.
>> Stephen: tickets for his comedy tour “who’s with me?”
