Wynton Marsalis: The Ever Fonky Lowdown | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) 

Hear hear!

Stryke2wice it would be nice but I don't know of any network who would have the guts to let Mr Masalis be that blunt? Great message that won't be heard by those who need to hear it the most!

Finally, someone speaking the truth. I met John Lewis one time and winton Marsalis seems to have a similar no-BS, genteel vibe. Soothes my soul.

Beautiful comment. I cannot think of a better way to express exactly how I felt watching the interview. It seems often that people at the top of their field (WM is certainly that) express profound insight which illuminates every aspect of life.

I thought he was vapid. I mean nice words and caring gestures, but the problem isn't people, it's DC.

Almost to a one... each of these clash-points are being fueled by the Radical Wrong. They know the end is nigh. The End is Nigh for GOPP, Groupies of Putin's Puppet. The Russ-Thugu-KKKant hate-mongers must be driven into extinction. Period.

Such wise words...

Right. This is what happens when you can't tell your friends from your enemies. Fighting the war on the wrong front.

Thankfully I am still able to think for myself, sort out the BS, hypocit lies mainly coming from the right

I'm glad you and others are appreciating his wisdom. But don't overlook what a great musician he is. He's an amazing jazz musician and classical composer. And when he was 23, he could do this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0-jDld11jhw.html

This is true because we have a huge problem with division being sanctioned by big money/corp/media interests and people don't even realize it. They think their neighbor is really their enemy when they're not.

​@Neil Mo There has been any number of people killed for political reasons by right-wing fanatics. At least two in Kenosha this past week alone. The number of people killed by the left in this country=0;

@@k.williamjones3978 you CANNOT be serious

@@ElizabethAyodele Trite nonsense. The poor are very adept creating chaos. You do not need money or power to murder someone and poor people do it all the time. This idea that the only power that has the ability to impact people's lives is power held by a relative few is a devastatingly damaging myth. The overwhelming amount of evil perpetrated in this world is perpetrated by individuals exercising power that ALL individuals have.

@@k.williamjones3978 As I'm sure you know by now, the Kenosha killings were a matter of clear self-defense. Leftists in the midst of helping to destroy City decided to attack individual who was there to defend it. They got what was coming to them.

Wow Jimmy, you were right about the last sentence, but should read the rest your own comment again, because that's exactly what's wrong. You - in the US of A - are so blessed, but most of you just don't see it. "Keep focussing on ...". Greetings from The Netherlands

Agree! Like a good jazz musician, he just sat back and let Wynton have his solo. You could tell by his expression that he was enjoying the hell out of it.

The problem with" keeping eyes on the register", is the money in this country is hidden, and where the nation's money goes to is hidden. No one wants to even talk about balancing the national deficit. And NO attention is being brought to the Federal Reserve, where our money actually comes from.Too many secrets and zero oversight . All of that is obfuscated with race, riots and shootings weekly.

@@jimmymags6516 You obviously know nothing about America history. Who made America... it was three nations. British French and Spanish. America only exists because Native Americans were crushed by white setters. The American flag is the old Grand Union flag without the stars. The languages of America are English and Spanish. The laws of America are direct copies of English law. Apple pie is an English recipe. Nothing in America is original. So how can it be the greatest country on Earth when is a bastard child of England. A country that had had mire impact on the world more than the US has. The U.S. was so far backward it's had racial segregation in 1960s and laws designed to hold back black American's, and other countries integrated white and black people with the same rights. American still has racial divides and that is the fucking point. It's just that Trump and his base are blatantly obvious racist. The left is not wanting to turn America into a backward nation it want to return it back to the progressive nation it was when 1776 a population decided to move forward against it's leader of King George. Progression is looking to unite and move forward. Trump wishes to return it back into a past of blatant slavery and ruled by fear and hate of people based on their skin color. I'm sure you'll be in line for a job whipping blacks In the town center and thinking your da man if Trump gets his way. Scum like you get those kinda jobs.

@@jimmymags6516 I'm not a left or a right. Trump is not the disease, he is the symptom. We dull Americans not paying attention, allowing others to do our thinking for us, voting based on TV ratings, not involved in our own futures, entitled, spoiled, lazy. They are the symptom, our own apathy is the disease. The US used to be a place where you could make your dreams come true, and now our futures are being bought and sold by corporations. Yes, those with exceptional talent of course excel. What about those without exceptional talent? I don't want Margery who has five kids, and works three jobs.....to still be in poverty because she couldn't make her American dream happen. I want a U.S. that doesn't only work for the exceptionally talented, the overly privileged. I AM NOT for any violence of any kind, it is foolish to think that violence can by any means solve anything, but I'll direct you a video that was shared with me that came from David Jones Media titled, "How Can We Win." America was built on the backs of the communities that we continually shirk or even aggressively oppress. It is both right and left that has done this, from the birth of this country it has been so. The soil that we walk on every day is soaked with the blood of innocent people from which we have stolen. We need to rethink our tactics. Because Margery's five kids will grow up, and they will fight back one way or the other. And if we do not provide a safe, secure, and sound future for them....they are going to grow up in the same pointless, broken system that we are in now.

Would you feed the kid down the block before your own child ? I don't think so . Theres only poverty in the US where we have dysfunctional schools . Fix the schools and the culture in our inner cities and the kids in those areas will have a chance at the American dream . Republicans have been and still are calling for school vouchers and charter schools in our inner cities for 50 years . Margery needs to finish school and have a decent career before she has 5 kids . That would fall under , fixing the culture . You can't have even one kid out of marriage and expect others to pay your way . Our American soil is soaked with the blood of soldiers who fought to end slavery , We are the only country to sacrifice the lives of our own sons , so that blacks could be free . This system is not broken . I made something of myself and so did you . It can be done . But you can't expect to have wealth and a happy life if you don't follow the rules of the game .

@@jimmymags6516 I could not afford college, in spite of working through my college years, it was not enough to earn me a degree. I have a job that pays near minimum even though I work 50-60 hrs a week and do so on call. I grew up in these "urban areas" that most of the US deems as too dangerous for suburban housewives, and I am eeking my way through life just like Margery with her 5 kids. My schools were underfunded but I chose to educate myself through my own research because that has proven more valuable anyway. I have no children because I would rather feed the kid down the block before myself, and advocate for public schools to have proper funding so that teachers don't have to pay out of pocket for something as essential as supplies. Marriage is not a necessity for having kids, perhaps the idea that it is, is part of the problem. I don't think someone who has three jobs is expecting anyone to pay their way. We fought for the freedom of slaves correct, as a union, but we were the only country to do so (and so late I might add) because our economy was built on them and our own brothers didn't want to relinquish their own privilege. The rules of the game have been laid out....as in the video I referred you to, and those that enforce the rules are slaughtering innocence. Every time a prominent black community has risen in this country it has been leveled by politics or by force. I see too many parallels between the French Revolution and now, those in power are holding all the cards and eventually, those born without privilege or wealth will revolt. It's human nature to want more than the bare minimum.
