well the revolution be funded last winter I started to ask myself this question well not that specifically but I started to question whether or not we could actually make progress towards socialism while being funded by rich people hi my name is Fox I live in upstate New York and organized with my local tendency named most of the time we focus on local issues but last year with a larger statewide housing justice coalition we put pressure on the state to pass a bunch of new laws that protect tena
nts over the summer of 2019 New York State passed the biggest legislative upset in a generation the housing stability and tenant Protection Act [Music] hey everyone we're over here in Albany fighting for 10 inch rates so come out and support us or and where you act support us okay chew on [Applause] a large part of this victory was due to the work of nonprofit activist groups some of these groups were funded by the Ford Foundation one of the world's richest foundations which claims a mission of
advancing human welfare but suddenly after our landmark victory much of that funding was withdrawn but why were they too effective how are these vital organizers going to continue to make strides towards housing justice without funding professional organizers still have to eat is this the end of the housing justice movement in New York State it got me asking big questions like if this is how we build our base does it all crumble once the capitalists realize we've become too effective is it okay
for leftist to take money from the capitalist class in order to fund the revolution Michael White is best known for billing himself as the co-creator of the 2011 Occupy Wall Street my name is Michael white I'm the co-creator of Occupy Wall Street and I live near New York City when I was young I decided that I was going to do this thing which is that I was going to have the ultimate activist pedigree and just like just do all of the insane things so when I got back from Palestine I was a big fan
of this magazine called Adbusters I worked my way up through making myself useful to the magazine this is why I became a writer is to work at Adbusters magazine and became an editor and work my way it's the highest levels and so what we did at Buster's is we wrote a what we call the tactical briefing and we designed a poster and the tactical briefing was basically just an email you've got mail as soon as send of the email there was about something like 200 people in New York City who did think i
t was a great idea and they were like these kind of outsider activists and they ended up being the ones who you know organized the first day of the protest so there's still a lot of controversy around the creation of Occupy Wall Street I still get people telling me you didn't create Occupy Wall Street and I'm like okay like I did and I co-created in the sense with color because we were the first person who came up with the idea we created the first Twitter account my friend I sent the first Twit
ter hashtag we picked the date the tactic a lot of we framed the whole protest all this kind of stuff but obviously yes I didn't even go to New York City this is the very nature of contemporary social movements I did not go to New York City I people New York City like he didn't create the movement he was never here I'm like absolutely you're absolutely right never went to New York City but the idea and all these the parameters came from from somewhere else the actress grad school is an online sc
hool taught for and by activist it's a space for activists who want to take their social movement creation and their protest theory to the next level this is one reason amongst others that white has gained reputation on the left for being a grifter my critique of Michael White's boutique activism still stands true given his recent exploration into the apparently revolutionary potential of the one-percent at the World Economic Forum dot skeptical emoji Michael White is a drifter he claims to have
invented the activism that was going on long before he turned up then he thinks he can teach us how to be activists and now he is at Davos and releasing a cryptocurrency just fahad unbelievably cynical and self promoting anyone who claims they co-founded a movement is already thinking about the movement not as a collective endeavor there's some sort of branded organisation to be milked for fame and fortune I mean look I I there's all these unwritten rules and we all experience them and I don't
think anyone's done a good job like if I could I would write an article where you just go and try to write down what these unwritten rules are I mean you discover them through stepping on them another one is we don't go to elite spaces anyone the only reason so another of huge a huge critique that happened because I went to Davos was the only reason he's going to Davos is because he sold out that's the only reason someone would go to Davos is to sell out like and I'm like really that's the only
reason like I I went to Davos and then I went to the extinction rebellion I actually am following this other trajectory which is really another one another one that I think is really hurtful is that no one should be able to live as an activist like financially like if you make any money as an activist you're obviously some sort of criminal or a Griff or grifter this word they use grifter so the reason why I get invited not a lot of corporations but why some corporation so interesting these quest
ions is because if you think about Occupy Wall Street from their perspective and these social movements so within less than a month 50% of Americans had heard about and we're following the Occupy Wall Street movement we know this from like a poll at the time so that from a marketing perspective is priceless so they so they yes there's a tremendous amount of social pressure to and within corporations and elsewhere to make activism kind of a wing of marketing and like we want to do large-scale mob
ilizations because it's a great way to do free marketing and about those brands that we're working on and so we've seen a lot of like attempts like Pepsi made that ad everyone hated just thinking of that like ad in India where they're like Pepsi totally yeah so there's like that's that is a real that is a real danger but I think that so I mean I don't think I have like a super good answer so I'm here to kind of like negotiate that uneasy alliance between social activists and elites so that we ca
n build an climate mobilization that could you know for example plant one trillion trees I what I see happening is that activism is being integrated more deeply into the functioning of power and two elite circles which I mean which is why we're here it's very strange that Occupy Wall Street would be here you know in the sense but there there is something about the capacity to mobilize people that elites are very curious about and very much want to learn about and I think what I would say to yout
h is that they can't steal that power from us they don't have the ability to steal it they're gonna have to work with us in this in this endeavor so it's interesting so I think it's obvious that Michael white would say the revolution can and should be funded he makes it clear that activists have failed and the rich elites need us to mobilize large swathes of the population for their causes which I guess he believes are just I mean I guess he thinks there are some good rich people out there he al
so brings up the fact that people still need to work for a living so they can eat and survive he's got a point there I mean don't organizers and activists deserve that just like everyone else are they supposed to starve for the cause I certainly wouldn't want them to that being said white is criticized by some of the larger leftist platforms and I'm starting to see where they're coming from there's something very salesy about him that I can't quite put my finger on Oh operation Jackson is a nonp
rofit Jackson Mississippi they build themselves as an emerging vehicle for sustainable community development economic democracy and community ownership their homepage touts that they are building a solidarity economy in Jackson Mississippi anchored by a network of cooperatives and worker owned democratically self managed enterprises the history of cooperation Jackson is deep and layered and very much revolves around the activism of Kali akuno from helping a radically progressive mayor Chokwe Lum
umba when election in Jackson in Mississippi in 2014 to his Jackson cush plan which helped form the basis of what later became cooperation Jackson Kali akuno is undoubtedly a socialist superstar activist in 2010 five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans real estate developers teamed up with neoliberal government to exploit a vulnerable housing situation for their own gain Kali akuno was one of the organizers fighting back against these powers that were trying to turn
public housing into private investment this is the black agenda morning shot from Monday August 30 of 2010 being brought to you by Kali akuno in New Orleans Louisiana in a statement issued after the demonstration survivors village stated that the rest of the city focused on the disaster of August 29th 2005 as an event that happened in his past residents of public housing and supporters stood in an all-day rain to protest a visit of President Obama to a neighborhood that has been purged of poor p
eople turned over to Warren Buffett in his investor friends that is being promoted as the future of public housing around the country the future that Obama came to support today is the total privatization of public housing throughout the country which his administration is advancing with its promotion of the petrol bill it's billionaire Warren Buffett stated on his visit to Columbia Park development in March New Orleans is key by which he meant the total destruction of public housing which he is
promoting through this purpose-built community's organization which he co-founded with Atlanta developer Tom Cousins who administered destruction of all of Atlanta's public housing earlier in the decade however activists in New Orleans have no intention of submitting to the designs of Petra or complying with Warren Buffett's dreams and going the way of Atlanta they are mobilizing on the following demands the New Orleans activists were not able to stop Warren Buffett from growing his real-estate
Empire but I am happy that akuno has been able to continue fighting for working-class justice in the south you don't know how many times I've talked to liberals and they will always ask that one annoying question Oh if socialism is so great then show me a model that works well that's it cooperation Jackson is a model that works I'd say these guys are actually doing it they're doing a socialism that's what I'd say to all the Liberals out there in fact I already did on the radio over the summer o
f 2019 there is a good model for this for some of the stuff we're talking about that was what I was trying to ask it like how how help how make capitalism go by look up a place called called cooperation Jackson they're they're basically a socialists little socialist society I have has any kind of government agency tried to step in and stop them I'm not you know I'm not sure about that I I would love to learn more about them but this like community it sounds awesome but the US has a history of ge
tting rid of awesome like any kind of calm you nor anything else I'm not comparing this to Branch Davidian ISM but they will send the ATF or whoever in there to kill you and nobody outside gonna know what went on in there we'll just have whatever reports come out and it's just like it seems like every time something comes along that's different even if it's good eventually someone stamps it out so you know I said it here if something happens to this place it was the government not to sound like
a paranoid weirdo but I am a paranoid weirdo and it's really not that unheard of so I mean yeah they'll just you know if you guys like hear anything about this place you know just keep your ears peeled yeah well we should there should be more of them you know like we should see them as a model so many more they can't be stamped out exactly yes and so how to support them too as well I hope the safe that you're able to mention him on the air yeah beetle and freedom Walker bring up a good point if
cooperation Jackson is a threat to the capitalist class they might be in real danger folks who have a history of challenging capitalism usually end up dead especially if they're black long live the spirit of existence 5:27 p.m. State Police helicopter drops and there is the explosion now is a live picture of the water cannons pouring high pressure streams of water onto the top of the moved house [Applause] it's hard to say from where I sit but it doesn't seem like cooperation Jackson is in any i
mmediate danger with regards to state sanctioned violence at least I hope and more importantly I think if we were to ask them if the revolution should be funded they would say the opposite of Michael White right what capitalism we don't need your money we the people are gonna make this happen our commitment should be to eliminate capitalism because it is not a system that's benefiting humanity maybe a small part of humanity but not the most of us than the majority so it's in that context that I
challenge that solution build movements and when I and they're not giving us a gift because the wealth that they're distributing comes from the workers so we are challenged enough to get back a greater share of the wealth that we create as working-class people and you know it's largely appropriated by the capitalist class and it's state agency so it's in that context where I said we will challenge them but it's going to be we must have movements that's big enough the challenge at you know where
they will send resources our way and we're not grateful for it because it's our money beside Bill Gates giving them billion dollar we're not grateful to Bill Gates that's money that they they stole from working-class she really given us something so you can look good in the eyes of the working-class we are not grateful for that we'll take it and at the same time we'll string him up the next day [Applause] okay okay that's still [ __ ] badass as hell let's take those [ __ ] money because they too
k it from us to begin with take that money then turn around and string them up the next day maybe that's what we need to remember as leftist as activists its organizers we just need to take the money because money is a resource from the capitalists funnel it into our efforts and then turn around and em rights comrade Peter Buffett is the son of the world's third richest man Warren Buffett he's an Emmy award-winning musician his music absolutely slaps he's woke his [ __ ] hat with pride and vigor
he's the co-founder of the Novo foundation one of the world's largest and most influential charitable foundations but more than anything he's famous for writing a 2013 op-ed to the New York Times criticizing the charitable industrial complex what to make of the following philanthropy is enjoying a heyday the nonprofit sector has never given away more 316 billion in 2012 according to the Urban Institute meanwhile governments in crisis and basic human services are being cut grid TV guest Peter Bu
ffett thanks a lot about these topics he's a musician and composer but yes he's also the son of Warren Buffett with his wife he heads up a foundation but in July he penned an op-ed with the provocative title the charitable industrial complex and he wrote as more lives and communities are destroyed by the system that creates vast amounts of wealth for the few the more heroic it sounds to give back it's what I would call conscience laundering so I've called it philanthropy util ISM but I like this
charitable industrial complex I gave me fire well you know it's a system like so many others that have sort of I guess it's grown too big for its britches or something yeah and I will say britches because it's mostly men it really seems like it's sort of folding in on itself and you know keeping itself alive as opposed to trying to put itself out of business dang for a billionaire or this guy seems pretty woke if the revolution is going to be funded this is the guy to do it this is the benevole
nt billionaire that we as leftist need the dude [ __ ] rocks I mean what do you think Peter what could possibly be the drawbacks how could funding the socialist revolution be considered wrong well you know I sort of hate to say it's wrong misguided you know off the tracks a little but not because there aren't well-meaning people but it's because you get caught up you know one thing for instance is I say that when you have a billion dollar foundation you're better-looking your jokes are funny err
ors so you start to get into this funhouse mirror world and you can't get to the truth as easily because the money creates a dynamic that is really disastrous for real learning Wow yeah that's [ __ ] up but there must be a lot of actual good happening and the people in it still have the best of intentions these are well-meaning people right there's plenty of good to happening and certainly plenty of well-meaning people but as it gets into larger sums bigger egos bigger rooms with more people in
them it starts to disconnect itself I think from the very issues it's it's supposedly solving or helping or whatever huh so what happens when it becomes large sums of money we've guys people with vast amounts of money controlling government ultimately too but didn't we create a system when we create a graduated income tax so then you have governments that are elected with accountability to the people that decide how some of this money is spent the philanthropists today want to not pay taxes righ
t shelter their money but then what control government is going country yeah yeah and then play with it with charitable contributions and you have the whole it's a mess I mean surely the fact that he's saying this means he's aware of the problems so he's figured out a way around them right hey I was just doing some research and found out some interesting data you know Peter Buffett's noble foundation while they spent over a hundred million dollars from 2013 to 2018 in and around Kingston New Yor
k over sixty million dollars of that was in 2018 alone of all the small towns in the country there are only two others where one philanthropist or foundation has given so much they are Peter Buffett and the Noble Foundation in Kingston sixty-two million dollars the walton family AKA wal-mart can Bentonville Arkansas also 62 million dollars and Howard Buffett in Decatur Illinois forty five million dollars a lot of money Jesus good news though our friends at cooperation Jackson say that Kingston i
s doing awesome things just like they are this place Kingston sounds like a leftist paradise I wish I left there oh wait a minute but I do live here [Music] in 2018 Ulster County recorded its highest ever number of evictions and Kingston had the highest eviction rate in New York State the county also has triple the Airbnb activity of any other County north of New York City the county has the sixth most unaffordable market for tenants in New York State since 2000 the median rent has gone up by 50
% while median wages have remained the same the county cop in charge of evictions openly says he moved here because there are no tenant protections a decade ago opposing affordable housing was a bipartisan issue today some of the same people have moved on to blocking rent control local politicians give tax breaks and sell public assets to private developers and then do business with them after they leave office andrew cuomo the local government and new york city developers are openly mining the
city's qualities to spur development tech jobs and revitalization it is a new city with a new attitude and a new trajectory it's a totally changed place it can be done you are doing evidentiary note young friend of mine millennial was the California and artist closing me up and moving back in New York where are you going Kingston I said really she said yeah been there it's very cool I said see I know cool Howard does not know cool the same problems exists in the other two towns that are receivin
g the most concentrated philanthropy the influx of charitable investment leads to capital improvement which leads to gentrification and without strong tenant protections results in the displacement of the existing community okay so let's take a closer look at this article titled the u.s. city preparing itself for the collapse of capitalism from a festival that helps artists trade work for healthcare to a regional micro currency Kingston is trying to build an inclusive and self-sufficient local e
cosystem much of this article revolves around an annual event called the zero plus o o + o o positive festival the author a co-founder of the festival says we came up with a plan drawing on the age old system of barter we figured out a way to trade the art of medicine for the medicine of art hmm artists bartering for health care sounds pretty damn leftist if you ask me let's see what this guy has to say about that we've got the motivation but interestingly this started before the Affordable Care
Act this is here now because complete wellness isn't just having health insurance it's about community reassurance and how we are there for each other and it's like health assurance is what we try to try to really go after and how can we empower communities to take control of their well-being and that might mean putting a mural up of you know an indigenous woman who paints the mural of an indigenous woman on the side of a building in Kingston so we should be reminded of what's going on so that'
s really important and those those murals that are behind here and the seven that are going up right now around Kingston and my hat is off to the art which is of our art program Kimberly Anthony's for curating it so well there are now 29 murals here in Kingston and they don't go anywhere you know they stay and we're reminded every day that we put murals in neighborhoods of people that look like people in each neighborhood so we can begin to break down the Bott the barriers between our neighborho
ods and between each other yeah and we need that so bad right now so badly thank you I know I don't want to take any more - wait is that Amanda Palmer the lady who wanted to pay musicians with beer and hugs anyways back to the article this article highlights eight different initiatives that support the main thesis of the article the Kingston New York is emerging as a left-leaning self-sufficient community but what if we take a closer look at these initiatives and how much funding each one has re
ceived from buffets Novo foundation a more accurate title for this article would be how a billionaire is ushering in a new era of philanthropy util ISM but Peters financial entanglements are conveniently left out we're left with the impression that these initiatives are just happening organically I don't want to claim that I know why this article was shared as widely as it was but I think people have an idea that capitalism is [ __ ] at this point I think if people knew the context that all this
cool [ __ ] is happening because of a billionaire philanthropist it probably wouldn't have sparked reactions such as I'm heartened to see places and people that are actively imagining and developing alternatives to our current economy and planning for the inevitable changes that we are facing I'm posting this again because I feel that this article illustrates a hopeful example of how we can transform our communities into joyful places that sustain life and a world beyond capitalism now that's a
grassroots effort to cure what ails us economically politically culturally and medically Wow an idea for our times wow this place looks lit damn that makes me kind of sad that cooperation Jackson posted that article it feels like this article was just spun off as propaganda for the Novo foundation to promote all of their organizations and this event that they're doing here in Kingston yo Kali akuno is going to be here in Kingston headlining this event what are the odds that is so cool and if he
only knew the truth about Kingston [Music] me my comrades reacted pretty badly to the Guardian article that they shared on Facebook I'm gonna reach out to them and let them know why we reacted that way hey y'all I know a few of us Kingston locals blew up your post there are strong feelings here about how Oh positive amongst many other nonprofits are screwing over the city's working class population I'm a longtime follower of what y'all have been doing I've mentioned CJ many times when people as
k me how a socialist model can work in real life like I mentioned I helped start Kingston tenancy in and our local DSA chapter many of us who are fighting for housing justice / social justice see that Guardian article is a huge slap in the face I'd be happy to talk to anyone if you want more info on all this in solidarity Foxx oh that's a bummer that they didn't respond oh wow man the whole thing with cooperation Jackson and the Novo organizations was so weird just for shits and giggles I'm in a
Google something would take it i deceived Palestrina next or take it at the same time we'll string him up the next day would take it and I the same town will string him up in that state would take it and I the same time with stream up in that state would take it and I deceived that with string in one neck scale hi I'm Laura I have has any kind of government agency tried to step in and stop them I'm not you know I'm not sure about that I hope it's safe that you're able to mention them on the air
it's not a radio station it's something else it's about these other ways it can put its tentacle with it's perfectly finished with things into the community and and being an amplifier what's really already happened my name is michael white i am was the co-creator of Occupy Wall Street and now I live in Kingston the longer I stay with this question the more I firmly established myself in the no camp and I think it boils down to two reasons reason number one Klout sharks and elite captured in the
case of Michael White it's pretty obvious to see how money attracts opportunites often in the form of Klout sharking housewives and this cloud [ __ ] is funny people who are out for social capital game or usually happens by way of a wheat capture concept of elite capture originated in the study of developing countries to describe the way socially advantaged people tend to gain control over financial benefits meant for everyone especially foreign aid but the concept has also been applied more ge
nerally to describe how political projects can be hijacked in principle or in effect by the well positioned and resourced as Yang's step up demand exemplifies the idea also helps explain how public resources such as knowledge attention and values get distorted and distributed by our power structures and it is precisely what stands between us and Smith's urgent vision of coalition politics the individualism inherent and Michael White's body of work is palatable he brags about being invited to eli
te spaces he runs an activist graduate school he's literally profiting off of the professionalization of activism I don't know if a more neoliberal concept exists reason to undermining the actual movement even if cooperation Jackson is the perfect socialist model they're inherently not it doesn't actually work it relies on capitalism it's crushing and unfortunate I wanted so badly for it to be true just like many of my comrades it would feel so good to have a W and you could argue that sometimes
we just need some inspiration some hope but if we're being lied to if we're not being told how all this works we'll be left with more despair after the feel-good drug wears off some folks on the Left that I've talked to will make the argument in favor of funding saying that we can take the money as a resource from elites but then turn around and cut ties with them as soon as we've secured the funding this sounds like deal in theory but in practice I don't think I've ever seen an example of this
working it's usually the other way around elites pull funding once the nonprofit becomes not only effective but dependent the Nobel Foundation has quite effectively annihilated any shred of working class solidarity here in Kingston New York they've done so the atactic that have already been well documented by a group called insight in their anthology called the revolution will not be funded beyond the nonprofit industrial complex insight defines the nonprofit industrial complex as a system of r
elationships between the state the owning class foundations and nonprofits the system of relationships results in the surveillance control derailment and everyday management of political movements they go on to say that the state uses nonprofits to monitor and control social justice movements the station is really I mean I really do say to social justice organization disguises the radio thing because we aren't just a radio station in the sense that we are out in the community supporting block pa
rties live streaming from City Hall going to just about every event but it really saw you know in in a small community specifically you could cover essentially the whole thing and become the station which we have in a very short time divert public monies into private hands through foundations in 2017 Kingston was awarded a ten million dollar downtown revitalization grant eight of the 19 committee members that were hand selected to decide how the money was spent were from novo funded nonprofits a
nd even included Peter himself manage and control dissent in order to make the world safe for capitalism as our footprint in terms of the consciousness of the city grows there'll be more opportunity for that because more people will go oh hey this is a place where we really could get into some things and get some feedback and and you know the challenge is finding alternative voices that don't just want to push back against other voices but actually want to contribute it and yeah you've described
it before in terms of being constructive redirect activist energies into career based modes of organizing instead of mass based organizing capable of actually transforming society in a 2017 article by akin yellow emoji for the national coordinating committee of the new african peoples organization Umoja rights cooperation Jackson is directed by Kali akuno who terminated his membership to both new African peoples organization and Malcolm X grassroots movement the day prior to the victory of Chok
we Antar as mayor and consequently announced that cooperation Jackson would no longer be affiliated with our organization while it was intended to build worker owned and managed cooperatives and organized the black working class in Jackson cooperation Jackson has not been able to develop a base of support among indigenous black people in Jackson particularly black workers this group has so far functioned nearly as a nonprofit to raise funds which seem to be dedicated primarily to employ a small
clique of mostly transplants - Jackson this group has failed to mobilize and organize black workers in a city which is 80% black and working-class while its leadership has participated in the ultra-left attacks Lumumba administration and the political work of the new African people's organization / Malcolm X grassroots movement cooperation Jackson has relied on the Legacy and used the name and image of bhava chakra and the Lumumba family and the history of the new African people's organization /
Malcolm X grassroots movement organizing in Jackson to gain and maintain support locally nationally and internationally moja is not alone in this sentiment in a doctoral dissertation titled worker owned cooperative as urban economic development by a University of Louisville student named Nick Condor a local community member alluded to an undercurrent of concerns about cooperation Jackson I don't see a lot of money going into the hands of the people from Jackson I see a lot of people from out of
town who are able to make a pretty decent living but in reality we are paying ourselves and buying up a bunch of land and we have two people out of ten that are from here I don't see a whole lot of money going back into the community when respondents stated that the project felt like a lab experiment where people moved from out of state to test their economic approach on an unsuspecting community of people desperate for opportunities it's insulting when you come in here and you try to force a p
hilosophy on someone without becoming part of the fabric of the community allow corporations to mask their exploitative and colonial work practices through philanthropic work [Music] [Music] encourage social movements to model themselves after capitalist structures rather than to challenge them during the pandemic novos gaggle of nonprofits coalesced to form something they call the community fund which amounted to a means-tested 500 dollars that you need your landlord to write a permission slip
for based on insights work I can say no the revolution will not be funded revolutionary and grassroots groups might work in coalition with nonprofits on specific things but we need to organize in ways that aren't reliant on billionaires to write checks I'm pretty sure that Peter Buffett doesn't want to fund the revolution either if I were to guess I'd say that Peter is a lot like his dad and that he's always trying to read the tea leaves and hedge his bets insights book came out before Peter wie
lded the power of a billion dollar foundation it wasn't until 2006 a year after the book came out the Peter received a billion dollar commitment in the form of Berkshire Hathaway stocks from his dad in his big 2013 op-ed about the charitable industrial complex he says that he's not really calling for the end of capitalism he's calling for humanism writer Mark Raman made one of the only left critiques of the article at the time saying the need for socialism is the only logical conclusion one can
draw from the reality of capitalism Peter Buffett offers no real coherent answer he is still defending a system which has inequality built into its DNA given his upbringing and resulting consciousness he just can't quite make the break I used to see cooperation Jackson as a socialist model but I also had no idea they're being funded by the same philanthropist that has this tight grip on my very own hometown cooperation Jackson that Guardian article and things like it are used as inspiration by m
any of us who dream of a post-capitalist world they are presented as things that just happen and the fact that a billionaire is funding them is conveniently omitted this makes them nothing but a mirage these things aren't moving us towards socialism or justice they've got all the optics of an egalitarian society without actually being one instead what we're left with as Peter says himself is a funhouse mirror the one thing for instance is I say that when you have a billion dollar foundation you'
re better-looking your jokes are funnier you're invited ever so you start to get into this funhouse mirror world I mean I tell people that you know once you have a billion dollar foundation your jokes are funnier you're better-looking all these magical things happen and it's funny you know when you have a big foundation like that and I always like to point out that it's amazing when you have a billion dollar foundation I talk about the fact that that when you have a billion dollar foundation fou
ndation you're better-looking that you're funny here and there all those things it's amazing when you have a billion dollar foundation though you're you're funnier you're better-looking [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
