I personally think lizzo went too far when she used the bones of James Madison to summon his
spirit and enslave it I know they pay you to play Background beat for her for her uh
concert I personally thought that went a bridge too far but you know I could see how some would
you know think it was not far enough I mean it is unfortunate that the ghosts of Thomas Jefferson
had to be her backup dancer but um for the most part I I I thought it was cool that you got to
play an old flute um but the for people that may not understand what we're talking about lizzo the
singer uh also a floutist flutist either or is acceptable I guess he plays the flute she plays
absolutely trained flute player she's not someone who just like picked it up and blew in it to be
funny she actually completely and she actually like which is um that would have been fine too but
like she actually like legit [ __ ] plays it and was like quite respectful about like what meant to
play this old ass flute yes so like we'll play two clips here one is a lizzo on stage which is the
one that the conservatives are freaking out about um but let's play this first clip where she's at
the um it was the Library of Congress um and to be clear this flute was James Madison's flute
um so that's why it's older and the famous flute that we all have definitely heard about and know
all about before lizzo played it we definitely all knew about this flute which is why such a
big deal which is why we all know the story about it behind it so uh uh Emma or Bender you can go
ahead first and just tell us all the story behind the flute that we all know I mean it's carved from
the his femur bone and when in combination with network the necromantic Arts it can be used to
summon his Spirit to fight for you the funny thing is he also would play this flute himself
so I mean he somehow while alive had it carved at his femur bone and then he used it to play
goats that's that's the power That's The Power of it you can't just give it to lizzo Claude
Laurent was making flutes he made 20 of these uh flutes in Paris back in 1806 so all right so
it's a precious uh precious if not mystical and magical uh piece of of American History uh lizzo
who is a black woman and that's why literally every right winger can't stop obsessing over
her that just really breaks their brains for some reason uh and James Madison to be clear not not
black just want to put that out there yeah yes um here here She is playing the flute and uh trigger
warning for any people who are descendants of James Madison or uh or fans of his this was his
Precious Precious artifact and I understand if you're a bit too offended to watch this
right that's what I don't know oh
this was made to win 15 what
oh and now the precious bassoon
thank you
she might as well have just taken the [ __ ] on the Declaration of Independence foreign
no I think it's only fair that kid rock gets an opportunity to try to do this himself
I gotta say I didn't watch the clip because I thought actually the actual clip is completely
irrelevant to whether or not it was proper for lizzo to play a flute she was offered to
play but I'd say that was quite beautiful it was beautiful yeah like she clearly did not just like
pick it up and think it was a joke she like legit played a nice little tune uh for everyone who is
there I mean but you know what she didn't play you know what she didn't play God Bless America
disgusting so now to be fair um and I don't think this makes it any better but that's not the clip
that all these people are uh reacting to it's uh this one was this at some sort of concert or this
was that this was at a DC concert where she was that's that's what the Library of Congress video
was leading up to that she was going to play this at her show in DC on Tuesday okay gotcha
foreign
these are pretty though
oh so okay so she shaked her butt a little as she played it um and I mean I to be fair I would
imagine that James Madison probably could not have foreseen his fluke being used in this way uh do I
see this is an act of disrespect absolutely no of course not I think it's kind of cool but I know
that this flute was made out of James Madison's femur I think you could look at this as a little
mocking James Madison for likely being unable to shake his buttocks while he played his flute
yeah he he wishes so let's just get to some of the reaction here
um so uh our boy Ben Shapiro the lizelle flute controversy is a perfect example of what I have
termed the face tattoo phenomenon trademark thanks for trademarking that no one is ever going to use
it the phenomenon whereby somebody does something something deliberately controversial in an attempt
to draw attention and acts offended when you notice deliberately Universal it's not like she
burned a flag you [ __ ] idiot I mean she didn't like break into the library because Congress steal
the flute and unveil it on the stage she was handed it by and she was given me permission
in fact it seems like they approached her to do it it's not like yeah for James Madison's flute and
convince them to do it I mean she took it on stage after they brought it to her and she played a few
notes and nicely handed it back and talked about how cool it was yeah I guarantee you this is like
the biggest moment for flutes in like decades like right I mean since like the the a flute tune was
used in like Disney movies or Anchorman maybe right oh it's actually yes Anchorman and then
before that snow white but like is really itemizes why they have a problem with it one that she's a
black woman and one that she like is proud of herself and doesn't adhere to like the strict
body standards that this like sicko Matt Walsh wants to apply to her lizzo was a morbidly obese
weirdo in the thong twerking around on stage while playing a Priceless piece of American history but
he never knew about until this moment also I don't give a flying [ __ ] if it's an honor for
her that's not the point at all why not why not why is it not if if they let Nicholas Cage steal
the Constitution I don't see why little can't play the flute you know it is what it is I will say I
don't know that Ben Shapiro tweet definitely feels like projecting like just you know that's like the
entire online right-wing content creator like plan of attack like say something that you know people
deliberately around to say something deliberately that you know people find distasteful and then
when people tell you that they find distasteful pretend like them telling you that it's some kind
of depression some kind of Oppression yeah and um I mean to me it's just like honestly they have no
idea how to deal with like we saw this with their obsession with Megan the stallion too
strong black female celebrities who like Express themselves on stage it just totally breaks their
brains they should outfit her they should have to like you know like the devil Goes Down to
Georgia and like the fiddle thing he's like Ben Shapiro should outflout uh lizzo on stage he can
they can battling flutes supposedly a musician uh we have another one here from well you know
wishes desperately that he could he could be playing that flute right now why can't that be
me yeah it's Envy they are outright admitting that this was done as a purposeful Act of degradation
that these quotient element if any of James Madison's descendants is offended by lizzo
wants to try out the 200 year old iron collar white folks would have fixed to our ancestors
who tried to escape James Madison clutches it sure somebody at the national museum that is
a very good point I don't know that I don't know why that's about degradation Elemental
has some fire uh takes racial retribution against one of our founding fathers uh oh no
um and yet I racial retribution racial like reminding people about slavery is racial
retribution and yet I still see some conservatives on here like lighten up everyone I think it was
kind of cool that's funny that even their crowd is again uh the responses of slavery is the same
thing as being literally enslaved if you are Matt Walsh or Matt Walsh fan again it's always these
like this collapsing of like minor inconveniences as somebody who has a nostalgic view of the way
things would have been 50 years ago who what who again we're not there and definitely can't speak
to it directly you know trying to conflate like you know people reminding us that slavery existed
is the same thing as literally being a Slave this one is probably one of the crazier ones
this is from uh Pedro L Gonzalez of Chronicles magazine the thing that is obvious but people
don't want to say that this is about humiliating white people but desecrating American history
and Heritage that's what you do when you're a conqueror humiliate the conquered lizzo is a
conqueror is a conqueror for playing a flute yes I mean again this is all just like projection right
this is how like people right wing right Wingers or people who have a right-wing view of the world
conceptualize everything as an act of domination they're not only does their freedom contingent on
them dominating people like lizzo you know people who are black people who are women people who
are you know in their minds obese I guess uh it relies on that but also their ability to demand
that certain cultural like things just be for them like the flute or like a particular flute
and because people everything because people like don't respect that because they're not
suffering from the same neuroses as they are they just think of like oh no no lizzo is this
is what this was lizzo's plan a planned attack on white people it's like I don't know about lizzo's
planned attack on white people that seems unlikely because I you know I don't know her demographics
but I think a lot of white people like her music that you know I mean she's very mainstream popular
into like we could talk about all these online discussions that arose out of this
but like they're focused on lizzo and the meaning behind it that she apparently uh
the hidden message she had as far as I've seen every talk every discussion she's had
about it completely devoid and she's well she's more than within her right obviously
to talk about it but she hasn't said anything about any sort of politics just oh cool this is
a old flute belonging to a founding father and I get to play it uh that's cool I mean they're
they're projecting all this stuff and putting it on to her when she has said nothing at all
except old historical flute cool I got to play yeah imagine if imagine if she was like on stage
being like this is for all the slaves like I'm playing I'm playing I'm playing James Madison's
flute for the slaves like like she's not saying any of that she's learning oh I was in the line
it was reparative you know obviously half of it is like them lying to their fans like
causing them to like conspiratorily look for patterns that don't exist but it is true that
right Wingers because again Fascism and the kind of like right-wing talking points they
promote are generally unpopular when just stated out loud they're always speaking in code they're
always leaving like subtle hints that they should like indicate that they're trying to like cuck or
dominate somebody and so they've just brain poisoned themselves that they can't interpret
the world any other way besides that well that's when we'll we'll do the Marjorie Taylor green does
that in her uh in in that that ad maybe we'll do that as our last clip but uh I'm like want to read
some IMS and get to some calls really quickly Mark monkey writes in though can't believe lizzo stuck
James Madison's flute in her vagina and flipped flipped off Old Glory disrespectful all right
I mean honestly our country or that amazing that would have been pretty cool
Moxie boosted lizzo is the most important person to ever hold that flute
um true uh Travis would probably want to auction it now and they're gonna like try to display
it now because lizzle held it well I mean we all right it probably would make it more money
um it's the lizzo flute how exactly the distinguished Gentile men cool hip-hop black woman
draws bigger crowds than Crest the old white men the conservatives mauled and pissed their pants
um the thing about her she's like kind of a poppy too right like she's just completely unoffensive
just oh yeah she's totally like mainstream yeah and and and like as I mentioned I think she's
just like a band nerd and loves the flute and things like that I mean there's nothing she's not
hardcore and I don't mean that in any negative way she's just made a mainstream kind of Pop
Singer which is actually that does not interrupt the messed up thing because she appreciates the
flute like on an artistic and musical level and so she's able to actually appreciate it like the way
it's supposed to be appreciated and they just they can't because they you know it said that
most of them are only giving off the pretenses of culture because they like both like fetishize
anti-intellectualism but view themselves as being like the Pinnacle of like the cultural West the
world Culture by the Western Paradigm but like yeah they don't know [ __ ] about flutes like you
know she was super excited to be in that flute room the flute Vault like that's probably why
I showed it to her and like if anyone should be dealing with the food as her like I don't give a
[ __ ] about flutes care enough to watch the video before better for her to hold it than like me
