What incident sparked outrage among Hollywood actors?
All right, so if you all thought that the era of BLM was over, think again, because in the name of oppression and racism, wealthy black actors chose to spend their Sunday making fun of a man for his disability. And I have had it. I am over it. And I know that we say this all the time, but like, this is really rich. Coming from the party of diversity and inclusion, when you guys came up with all this DEI stuff, you really should have been more honest about the oppression Olympics and who was actually being prioritized, who was actually being included. Because when I try to be optimistic, when I try to think that these bored, victim-seeking people just can't stoop any lower, they consistently surprise me.
Now, if you haven't already, you can find information about my live events about cooper.com. And if you want behind the scenes content and farm blogs and all that sort of thing, that will be over at cooperconfidential.com. All right. Now, before I get all riled up here and start yelling about things, I do want to take a second to acknowledge everything that is happening in Iran right now, because I have seen some comments and gotten DMs of people asking about my take and my thoughts and what I'm going to be doing. an episode on it. And I want to let you guys know that I am working on an episode, but it will not be today. Like this issue is incredibly complex. This entire conflict is complex. The outrage is so hot on both sides, both sides of the right and also both sides of just our general political spectrum.
And in my opinion, we are just not getting any kind of consistent or honest information about what is going on. So I personally do not feel ready. For example, we are being told that it is not a regime change war, but but also regime change is underway. We are told that the US needed to do this for our security because Iran is a threat to us and we had premeditated this. We knew that this was gonna happen, but then Rubio is also telling members of our government that we only did it because Israel was gonna do it first, so we needed to jump on board. We were also told that it's because of the nuclear facilities, but we were told that we eradicated those back in the spring. It's just like, I guess that in and of itself is a story, but I just wanna take a minute and see what happens and sit with it because I am struggling to muddle through all of that.
So I wanna make sure I'm actually giving you guys accurate information and I'm not just reacting out of emotion And so I do plan on having a more in-depth conversation about it, but I'm working on collecting those thoughts. If you would like a teaser on that, I did do an episode on Iran last month. You can go watch that if you kind of want to understand maybe where I'm going to be coming from. But anyway, today I want to talk about something that I have collected my thoughts on. I have collected my thoughts on the issue of rich black American actors acting like they are back in the Jim Crow era because a man with Tourette's had an outburst in front of them.
I'm going to say the N-word.
No, no, no, no, no, stop. I've thought about it, and I have a lot to say. All right, so actor Michael B. Jordan, another actor named Delroy Lindo, were presenting an award. And seemingly out of nowhere, from somewhere in the audience, a man yelled out the N-word. Here is that video. Just watch.
Delroy and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making. We're here to celebrate.
So that was the video. Five seconds long. That was a TMZ clip I played you. They bleeped it out, but you can see there was an outburst. The men obviously were like, oh, what happened? And then people moved on. But the internet does not move on so quickly. All right, so the man who shouted out that word is named John Davidson, and he is probably the most famous Tourette's advocate in the world. And he was there for his film, called I Swear. This is a film that he executive produced. He is the subject of the film. It is about his life.
