>> three weeks later, dave chappelle is still under fire. >> the fallout from dave chappelle's latester: the 48-year-old refusing to stand down to "the closer" that premiered earlier this month. >> a lot of people in the trans community were furious with me. and apparently they dragged me on twitter. i don't give a [ bleep ] about twitter, because twitter isn't a real place. >> many saying it crossed the line, trans phobic and dangerous. >> i'm telling you right now, it's true. these transgenders. these [ bleep ] want me dead. >> i felt heartbroken, because i grew up a dave chappelle fan. >> trans lives matter! >> the show even prompting a walkout among employees and demonstrators at netflix. >> they feel as though there were places creating conditions that are not con duce i have to the respect for their humanity. >> yet the specials focus on an extremely marginalized portion of that community has many asking why. >> i am not saying that to say that trans women aren't women. i am just saying that those [ bleep ] they got. you know what i mean? >> i think that dave is brilliant. i thi

you had to know that dave chappelle was cool in who he is because dave chappelle walked away from $50 ago. it is in the bible and it says for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? the money was never the problem. he came back. >> hey, flame. >> yes. >> let me ask you this. because i've heard your stand-up and you say that we fight over the wrong things. we get too hung up on titles. >> yes. >> and even as african-americans and as members of the lgbtq plus community, that we get too hung up on things that are -- look, you call people what they want to be called. that's how i feel. but we can have these discussions -- >> yeah, and -- >> but we get too hung up on, you know, titles and letters and -- >> well, what is -- it's kind of like the democratic party to he m. are we trying to win the war or these little battles? and here's the thing. there are going to be two sides of history with the transgender community. the disgruntled angry side that is still fighting over bathroom wars and pronouns and these minute rights. and then there's the sight of history

by the way, chappelle knew what he was doing in attacking us.thought that by attacking us, he was buying himself expiation for past comedic sins, maybe a free pass for future ones. how did that work out for you, dave? the fact is there is no satisfying the insane left but today's democrat party's bond and projects. if there's no point in anyone trying to placate them or even paying attention to them, because there will always come a day when you'll fall short of their constantly moving woke goalposts. now, kyrsten sinema should know this by now. it doesn't matter that she's a first comment that she wears fun outfits or that she voted to impeach trump twice. that's not enough. now that she's standing in the way of democrats passing the multitrillion dollar plan to fundamentally remake this country, well, she is leftist enemy number one buried what do senator sinema value? all right, money. >> she basically threw her posture has turned yourself into something of an "snl" punch line for vagueness and trolling. >> they are all better off if somethin

glaad said chappelle's brand has become synonymous.iz plank and eugene daniels. i will go first and take incoming in this. i watch it this afternoon and i thought it was hilarious. i thought it was really funny and i respect a lot of people will find it offensive, and it was offensive. i'm not going to lie. it was offensive, but it raises the question as to what we expect from our comedians. that's what i want to get to you guys to answer. you tweeted out, last week, chappelle is your favorite of all time. do you still feel that way? >> yeah. i mean he -- you take an artist, their entire body of work. you can even separate the art from the artist in a case like bill cosby or something, but i was never really a huge fan of his comedy. yeah, chappelle is special. killing him softly is my favorite. i know him. i have been doing stand-up for 12 years. he is respected in the comedy community. he is arguably the greatest of his generation, if not of all time, but it is subjective. i watched the special and i found myself laughing quite a bit

i knew once again it's the fans of chappelle and the people who stand with chappelle. seen people on the right weaponizing chappelle's words against the trans community. that creates less safety for trans people and specifically for black trans folks. dave on "snl" trump was elected he said "give him a chance" and later he came back and said "oops." you don't want your jokes to be weaponize against trans folks and specifically black trans folks. >> that's why we have you on. thank you, kamau bell. thank you. >>> stay with us. you could spend half an hour preparing for the half hour status meeting. orrr... you could cancel the meeting and share updates in slack instead. it's where your whole team is in one place so everyone can stay up to date. slack. where the future works. ♪ when you have nausea, ♪ ♪ heartburn, ingestion, upset stomach... ♪ ♪ diarrheaaaa. ♪ pepto bismol coats your stomach with fast and soothing relief. and try new drug free pepto herbal blends. made from 100% natural ginger and peppermint. no, he's not in his room. ♪ ♪ dad, why didn't you answer your

i would like to be canceled like dave chappelle.e's gotten $20 million for his last specials each. i think he's court thing cancel culture because that's a market. but there's two conversations. what did you think about dave chappelle's special? and how do we create a safer america for trans people. the dave chappelle special might be part of the conversation but it's not the main part. >> i said look, i'm sure you offend people with your comedy. you don't think you offend people at times? >> of course i do. i think the idea is like, who are you offending and why. dave chappelle talked about the idea of punching up and down. that's an idea i believe in. i only want to offend the people who i think should be offended. that's how i roll. not every comic works that way and i don't think every comic should work that way. but once you offend people, you have to deal with the consequences. right now dave chappelle is hearing from people. but none of the people at netflix are saying take his special down, they're saying we want to create a

dave chappelle is a needan.and transgender, let's talk about how he destroyed the white people, bashed the jewish community that show. let's talk about all comedians starting with margaret cho who is asian who tarries up asians. joy coy, filipino who destroys filipinos. whatever nationality you are -- sarah silverstein who describes the jews. chelsea handlers destroys the jewish community. but as a joke because if you pick apart who you are first, it's so much easier for the audience to come with you. make the audience comfortable by showing them that you are vulnerable. i didn't take any of that to be offensive enough to take down from netflix. i applaud netflix for sticking to their guns. i appreciate them for seeing that the world is not just what you want it to be, but the world is what it is. you have to play along, get along to go along. everybody just don't want to do. that some people are already combative and argumentive. i'm not. i'm a happy person. >> you seem very happy now, that is for sure, flame.

>> reporter: but chappelle has made a career of crossing lines. compared to that of george carlin and richard pryor. in the closer, he pull no, sir punches in his discussion of lgbtq people, but some say they're tired of being his punching bag. >> the people who are most likely to experience harm from the closer blacand brown women. >> reporter: ted initially defended the work as freedom. tarafield was suspended after openly condemning the special, but said she has since been exonerated. >> the impressions that people absorb through media become their truth, especially in the don't know anybody from the groups that are being discussed. >> reporter: so is chappelle fostering hate against lgbtq people, or is he just the latest victim of the cancel culture? it depends how you look at it. hate, it seems, as something in common with beauty, it exists if the eye of the bow holder. >>> rain coming down across the bay area. the evening commute a bit soggy in some places, and there is more on the way. >>> plus a closer look at muni's 275. why that number c

part of dave chappelle's thing was to make everyone uncomfortable. yeah. >> which was a kpaer son i found very, you know, clumsy at best. and obviously very offensive at worst. >> hoarse the thing about dave chappelle. that's his brand, right? he wants to make us squirm. we want to squirm. that's part of what we sign up for when we listen to him. so i think that is exactly part of his intention. he's kind of doubling down on previous controversy. and the other thing that's interesting to know about dave chappelle, he embraces all of this controversy. he cannot be canceled. dave chappelle is under uncancellable. he already proved he is ready to walk away from $50 million. he showed fame, money and public opinion mean nothing to him. a lot of people feel comedy should be the safe space where you can push boundaries, offend, and address social commentary in that way. the question is, is it funny to ridicule the most marginalized people in society. i would say no. a lot of people did find this very funny. >> he seems to be saying there's real life and th

and the same thing is happening with dave chappelle.s is not the same guy who left comedy central $50 million on the table for doing the pixy skit and the black white supremacists and all that, he said in one of the specials, he said for years i talked about hating white people, not the lgbtq community and transgenders, but now if you look at the people that are supporting both of these men, they aren't the people that they always stood against. >> so i want to ask you, you write irving and chappelle's narcissism has left them blind to the fact that they have become puppets in a real time minstrel show in the hands that are pulling the strings are white. i do want to challenge you on this because obviously i'm sure the gentlemen who are the subject of your column would, does that ignore the fact that dave chappelle has a lot of support, a ton of support in the black community and in the case of kyrie irving, black americans, they account for a smaller percentage of the population, they are disproportionately vaccine hesitant. these are

i wonder as you look at squid game versus the dave chappelle special, what does dave chappelle do for certainly it's popular content but it's expensive is there a chance they lose out or is it probably going to work out for them >> yeah. thank you for having me. i think it's very difficult to tell so, it would be difficult not just for us to tell from the outside, it's difficult for netflix to tell. you've seen reports that i've seen that internal estimates suggested that "squid games" would generate 900 million that's difficult to know it probably generated a large amount because it is the fastest show in sub -- in user views that we've ever seen it has the largest google trends effect i think on the order of a third bigger than the witch and i think it's very important to look at that but, one that's very difficult to predict what shows will do that, even for netflix and it's very difficult to say afterwards, did that show hold that value over time because it could bring in subscribers from south korea and around the world for a month, but if they don't stay because that's what brou

that now the show produced by chappelle.includes performances from the comedian and special guest. but before announcing his store earlier this month. released that netflix series called the closer and the series quickly gained kate, after chappelle made transphobic comments netflix employees in southern california walked out last week in protest of comedy special protesters demanded the company better support its transgender and non-binary employees. the protest came after netflix fired a transgender employee who helped organize the walkout. however, the company claims that fired the employee because they disclose confidential information about what the company paid for ship house special. so despite the controversy controversy, the show must go on tickets, go on sale today at 10:00am, and the tour kicks off here at the chase center on november 4th, but. darren james chappelle is not staying quiet. in the next hour. what he has to say about the controversy and the backlash that he has received for now back to you will stay

but we're also hearing from chappelle.ttle bit about the backlash he received in his netflix special. he says that several film festivals have canceled him but not netflix or the chase center. he will be debuting his new documentary. and despite the controversy that his netflix series has received chappelle is creating his untitled documentary and net film follows him in a series of live shows in his hometown during the covid-19 pandemic and after the murder of george floyd the show here at the chase center will also feature live performances from median and other guests. >> but before announcing this court earlier this month. chappelle released a netflix series called the closer the special gained hate after some people say he made transphobic comments some netflix employees even walked out last week in protest of his comedy here's video of rallying protesters demanded netflix do better to support its transgender and non-binary employees. now in a new stand-up video chappelle addressed the backlash, the comedian remained

do you think the situation would be different if it wasn't dave chappelle?own or profitable? >> i don't know if we can answer that. i think dave chappelle is sort of tapping into this set of comedy fans who were frankly tired of second guessing jokes and in particular, standing up for marginalized people and underrepresented people in jokes. you know, they feel handcuffed by so-called cancel culture and so you know, i think there's a lot of comics with a sort of mind that sentiment and increase their fan base because of it. but dave chappelle is one of the biggest names this stand up comedy and considered one of the most talented in the business. so for him to do something like this is certainly a big statement. >> and there's also a discussion around this idea of cancel culture and like netflix standing by this comedian even over the complaints, at least some of them, from some of their employees, including the trans employee we talked about. >> certainly. and you know, i think we're on ground here where i as a critic, i wrote a column that was highly criti

is that a valid argument as to why chappelle's special should stand or not?it's a tough argument. netflix is in a tough position to say otherwise. if they start arguing their content is going to cause people to commit violent acts, they invite a great deal of scrutiny of things they put on the air. it's hard to police comedy. people are going to push the envelope and have comedians that try to shock people, which chappelle has done for his entire career. so i think he's in a tough spot, but i don't know what other position netflix can take on this other than, you know, our content isn't going to cause people to go out and hurt other people. otherwise they put themselves in a position of having to police everything they do from the perspective of how people might interpret it. >> part of the letter defending chappelle, ted praises netflix's commitment to inclusion and cites that they have sex education, "orange is the new black." do you think netflix deserves more credit? and should netflix be judged on the totality of its content where it has advanced issues
