dave chapelle in one camp also the most famous resident of the town.lso might might be the richest. he is planning businesses in this town. he appears based on what i can figure out from reading the news accounts to oppose some part or maybe all of this development. these developers who own the 52 acres, even if the town doesn't approve the affordable housing what they can do, don, is still build, you know, regular housing units on this land. so i think this is a balgt -- battle that is still just playing out. >> okay. i think you answered some of this. but just slow down for certain here. >> yeah. >> the pushback from community members did knicks the affordable housing part of the development. so there is a legitimate not in my backyard criticism to be had here? i mean, to be fair, to blame dave chap formal alone when this is a broader social problem, that's not fair, is it. >> so i think it's partially fair and partially not fair. there is a not in my backyard component as far as i can tell reading the coverage, don but it's not clear whether it's ov

>> yes. >> hi, i'm dave chapelle.ay and marianne, i can talk to you about this privately, i don't know why the village council would be afraid of litigation $24 million a year company $65 million a year company. i can't believe you would make me audition for you. you look like clowns. i'm not bluffing. i will take it all off the table, that's all. thank you. >> brian: is he building a comedy club. is he building a restaurant the firehouse eatery call comedy club yellow springs i imagine. it's going to cost about $65 million. a town of 4,000. and he said if you guys make me audition for, this essentially, if you make me square off with a $24 million project, that i guess he feels as though will hurt the town. so you bring in these single families or duplexes it hurts the town. basically he is leaving and he is not building. >> ainsley: small town only 3700 people there the town is divided over this. because they say the project will bring in more new houses, more families. but then you also have the town there saying i

incidents we have seen in recent years covington catholic here i' kentucky, jussie smollett and dave chapelle -- turned out simply not to be true. the topic of both of these books which we'll get into is a lot of things we are all expected to believe are not real so the question is why we are expected to believe them. they are many people that object to this line of inquiry taking place. so that's it for me. i'm an associate pastor at kentucky state university here in frankfurt a quick drive from lexington. glad to be here. >> thank you and michael can you tell us about your book thought criminal and this discussion? >> i am michael rectenwald. i was a full professor at miu and global liberal studies and i was basically a leftist a marxist s and then the social justice in the university started to alarm me and i saw this totalitarian character of what they representative and i started to speak out against it on twitter first and then i was interviewed by the student newspaper there and two days after the interview appeared i was pressured into, forced into a leave of absence and driven off ca

it's hard for us to even understand conflict and i don't know if you are going to go into the dave chapelle stuff. i've had my own conversations with my community but i think it's been so disappointing about what happens i believe that it can be generative instead of seen as a generative moment. not only has the social media. but the media has created and continues to create this sort of dichotomy around how us versus them and i think the work we are trying to do especially as an abolitionist is shift our cultural away from punishment revenge and lean into dignity. that really changes depending on who has power and who has money and resources and who has access. i'm very much looking forward to having a conversation about building an abolitionist culture and one thing i want to name to close this out is the book isn't out yet. it was supposed to come out but because of covid we have a shortage of printers so it will be out january 205th and i'm glad you got an early copy of it. >> [inaudible] i think that it's important i also think this does tie into what you are talking about in your book

we've seen facebook and twitter do with these content issues, netflix recently with the dave chapelleaking a stand there. talk about the options that daniel ek and spotify have in this moment. >> he doesn't have a lot of good ones when you have one of your biggest are saying some of the horrible things he said in the past. you made the comparison to facebook and netflix. this is a lot more similar to netflix in that spotify has a direct relationship with this person. as one of the faces of the company. in their shift into podcasting. and so, they don't want to end that deal under really any circumstances. i think there is a world in which enough pressure mounts. you go back to the archives and and find enough horrible things that rogan has said over the years -- but you will need more major artists like neil young boycotting and you need a real sign that people are canceling subscriptions for ek to go that far. i think the desire is to stay the course but there is of course the option of ending the deal or trying to ban him. emily: the #delete spotify it was trending. are people cance

comedian dave chapel telling his town counsel he will pull investments dollars out of his community if like clowns. "i" not bluffing. i will take it all off the table. >> ahead this hour we explain what happened there. there is so much to discuss tonight. i want to begin with fareed zakaria. the host of fareed zakaria gps preponderates thank for joining us this evening. we have a lot to discuss. the white house is warning the russia ukraine situation is urgent. they're telling americans to leave within 24 to 48 hours. 3,000 more u.s. troops are heading to eastern europe to bolster nature p.o. allies. has diplomacy failed and it's just a matter of time of when russia invades ukraine? >> i think none of us know because it's all up to one person. the russian political system is really extraordinary, almost unlike any other system in the world. it all depends on one person, and that person is playing his cards close to the chest. here is what he has done. he has surrounded ukraine on three sides. there are long-planned military exercises taking place. o with belarus. he has in place about

comedian dave chapelle has been canceled, news flash.r new specials, and take that, woke. burns, don't it? [laughter] nuff said. >> love it. [laughter] >> well, there were a lot of good stories to be watching for and, of course, thank you so much to all of you guys for the great conversation tonight and all of your insight. >> thank you. >> that's going to do it for us and "the fox report" with jon scott is going to start right now. ♪ -- we crave a different kind of buzz. ♪ let me be your ruler, ruler -- ♪ you can call me queen -- ♪ jon: ukraine's military reports two of its soldiers were killed in shelling by pro-russian separatists, this as two senior u.s. officials tell fox news the u.s. has intelligence that russian commanders have received orders to invade ukraine. good evening, i'm jon scott, and this is "the fox report." ♪ ♪ jon: russia has not yet invaded ukraine, but it has continued ballistic missile tests under the direction

netflix has re-signed dave chapelle with four new specials, some of which he will be a producer creatingfirst time betty tripled down if you will on his jokes about the trans committee. it looks like he survived that he is not been canceled. >> let me invoke another business analysis, that's a very pitiful segue. there is this thing in economics. >> guantÁnamo. economics. how did ten prisoners control ten prisoners, there is a nation problem, if they break out they can't trust the other guy that's going to do it. it is a dilemma among the prisoners. this is a probably cancel culture right now they are in the minority, about 80% of the population if not more think these people are idiots. because they are sold out on twitter there is a nation problem amongst the right saying how do we stand up to these people. when you get around the prisoners it's repeated trials figuring out who's good to break out of the prison now are watching dave chapelle and joe rogan on the family friendly middle finger and say i don't care what you guys have to say into get former special, now the other guys are

. >> reporter: like netflix's flap over dave chapelle and facebook's scandal over its impact on teenagely done to spotify, and the stock price often tells the story. it hit a 52-week low back in january, january 28thth. the stock has since recovered, welsh $25 and is up about 10% this week although down today ahead of earnings 5.5 points. but some things to remember, spotify doesn't make money on its music platform. 70% of that revenue goes to the artists and the record labels. musicians may have hit spotify creating bad publicity, but to date no major advertiser has,s and that's important. and, oh, yes, let's not forget the joe rogan podcast generates one million daily listeners. spotify will be reporting earnings after the break, david, or after the bell, and it'll be very interesting to see whether they comment on the rogan ruckus and whether they have any further plans. but you know what? these things come and go, and9 spotify putting all of its money on their podcasts and holding firm. free speech. dave david they've got to mention -- it's the elephant in the room. heavy got to tal

think you know personally this controversy not even the controversy around dave chappelle, but i think the ways in which chapel seems stuck. i think is part of this lack of imagination of what it would look like if we didn't feel like resources were allocated and determined by white supremacy and the amount of you know, there was a finite amount of freedom to be gained or attention to be had, you know, and what would it look like to actually say no we could do better and we could do more and there is space in a room for all of us and you know, of course also just lack of imagination to remember that black trans people exist and things like that is important it those things matters well, but when i look at the debate what makes me so sad is i just want to keep running like who told you who told you that if? we focus on this issue there can't be focused on another issue that that there's only so much to go around because there i have yet. to meet it's not the definition of whiteness right there is not it's not the story that is told to whiteness. the story is called whiteness as you can be absolutely anything, y
