As law enforcement and the Senate pursue accountability for the Capitol riot and insurrection, world leaders and cultural figures have been speaking out and condemning the attack on democracy. Rapper Marlon Craft has a new song challenging clichés about unity and arguing America cannot try to be unified until people confront things that should not be negotiated, from scientific truths about Covid-19 to white supremacy. Craft joins MNSBC’s Ari Melber and former RNC chairman Michael Steele to discuss his searing song and his hopes for America’s future.

'Armageddon': See The Chilling Warning About White Supremacy Before The Capitol Riot
Ari keeps getting more hip. No choice but to stan.
Only wish the interview is longer.
I Stan him!
@Freedom Life Yeh me too. Just getting warmed up.

oh wow
Ari has a “hip” reserach staff that does his prep work
He is correct, and if Trump is not Punish for what he did it will happen again. This was only a test.
@TheTrienco Amen.. I agree 110% ..
Young man hit the nail on the head! I believe Trump would have easily won if not for the Pandemic and his lack of governing to get a handle on this crisis. Congress needs to be swept of all those toxic oppressors called congressmen and congresswomen.
That soundclip conveys that Trump was a sociopath, but more scarier, Biden can be much worse because he’s not upfront in your face. Biden’s administration will lead us to even darker days! The sheeple will be fooled/deceived starting in 2021
@IvyTeacher Wilson unfortunately that is only gonna further incite this. Unfortunately Trump supporters came to be because of years of the same problems. All the Impeachment would do is give further legitimacy to Trumps cause and push more people into the Patriot Party he is looking to establish. Republicans are to far right, Democrats far left, while most Americans chose Trump because he was someone in the middle. They will only further chose Trump and Nationalist because if this election told us anything Americans are divided and almost half agree with Trump. I don’t feel this is gonna fix anything only cause more division and destruction unfortunately.
only punishment trump delivered was your butt hurt feelings, but, now the real hurt is going to start, as joe blow and kamala toe will finish off this country for good, no more jobs, food, $4 gas, is 6 mos. away and WAR, SHOOTINGs & TERRORIST BOMBINGs all things we have had none for 4 years now !!! FOOLS
This kid is using his voice to try and contribute something towards the solution. Good for him. Many don’t even try.
I read some comments and I’ll just say i like rap,rock, country, lot’s of different music, i may like his next song just didn’t care for that one ✌
@Lunchbox15 Google DAVIS…TRUTH
@GEPLAYER cynical much?
@Logical Psycho very misguided mind…stable genius
@Darlene Norris just a wild guess…you are white?
I’m 68 and it’s so refreshing to see young people who are smart and showing us they care and they can take over when we are gone.
Okay boomer
@Special Officer Doofy the term is old head
@John Clark youtube keeps deleting my hilarious comment about your mother and “old head”
I know right I just turned 59 and that kid just nailed it.
This might be the first time I’ve heard the word “proletariat” used on national media, at least in recent history.
Very used in Latin Countries. But the actions of Trump were the same actions of a Golpista General.
95% of people probably don’t even know what it means.
@Nightgrauen Not gonna lie. Had to google it just to make sure I had it right. I havent heard or read it for so long that I almost forgot what it meant.
@Nightgrauen 😂😂😂😂 u mn 95% Americans
Agreed. I’m surprised they didn’t cut it out.
Ari would be the only news anchor to bring rappers on his show. Hes a true hip hop fan
Well the importance is to know people of his age did and do know the tragedy of Trump. That s what he is sharing. He didnt fool that age group as easily because they have no problem verify facts and recognizing Trump for what and who he is. Its a scary truth that 74M actually feel for Trumps bull.
Hip-hop thug-sta!
Though the time he quoted everything counts by Depeche Mode was still my favourite 😀
Michael Steele’s smile when he realized Marlon was on the line warmed my heart SO much.
Me too!
“kids like this” give me hope for a better tomorrow
I’m an uber driver and I run into many bright young people.
https://youtu.be/UGXBfZUdClQ really ? Because it’s men like this that give me hope ..hmmm, strange isn’t it ?!? You fools are so blind . Wake up . Walk away.
It gives me hope that people get it and are talking about it.
Tfis that

oh wow
58years old here and this kid gives me hope
Okay boomer
💩
69 year old boomer here, these kids are way smarter than we give them credit for ,
@Special Officer Doofy Never say “Okay boomer” again in your life and you will be fine.
78 yrs old and he gets me stiffer than his lyrics
I agree with line warning that a ”… more skilled autocrat …” could bring the Nation down. Very valid warning. Thank You!
elon?
My Big takeaway from his song is that “white supremacy is in the halls of our congress”. Forget about the supremacists in the land. BEWARE of those inside of Congress
Stop thundering? Be the lightning! ✌️
@david polk It doesn’t have to be though. Many of us want that to change.
Seems like you missed the whole point of the song
That’s a very good point. When We considered the hundreds of Republican Congresspeople who declined to acknowledge Biden/Harris are the newly elected President/Vice President, who abetted the Terrorist access to the People’s House, who spread the lies about Our election, who were too concerned about filling their on pockets, those of their friends, or were afraid to speak the truth to ignorance, and they’re still involved in making laws that affect Our lives, I believe it’s time to clean House, and Senate of the Traitors. How can We have a Government that’s for the People, but only the White ones? As of yet I haven’t heard of any “Serious “ penalties for the Insurgents and although 5 folks have died, none of the Traitors have been charge with murder. As We’ve seen from the Floyd, Taylor, Aubrey MURDERS, and the peaceful marches for Justice involving BLM, although it has been reported that many of these Nazi, and hate groups had caused much of the looting and violence, the Cops can and are relentless in establishing control, but I do believe, based on the conditions of Our Country, the Ideology of the Government/WH, and the hue of their skin, if People’s of Color had attempted to breach the WH security, there would’ve been many more people shot, injured, or dead!! White folks haven’t just started being hateful towards other religions, Nationalities, or sexual orientations YESTERDAY. But isn’t it strange how the Black Panther Party, or the back to Africa group MOVE, where members were hunted down like prey, accused of crimes, and either beaten, killed, or beaten and then killed for trying to escape? With the extermination of Bobby, Huey, Angela or H Rap the Movement died. Or to accuse Mumia abu Jamal of killing a Cop, although they had no proof. All the members were incarcerated or killed. BUT how long has the KKK existed? And it still does. Fact is when those that are downtrodden finally realize that THINGS aren’t equal, and demand that their voices be heard, the Whites and Our Government get scared. With the theory of snake killing, they go after the Leaders of these “Ungrateful” SOB’S because they believe if you cut off the Head there’s nothing more to fear. But NOW that many of Our eyes have been opened to the Truth. Have seen the Mountain top, and are willing to raise Our voices in Unity, the Young People, which are the FUTURE, have embraced this cause and through the UNIFICATION of Humanity, Brother/Sisterhood, and a Rainbow of Colors, they’re taking this to the next level. It’s time to end the ignorance, suppression, and greed. But the fight has to start by eliminating the cancer in Government. All those who supported this attempt to suppress Democracy should be charged in the murder of those 5 victims, charged with Treason, and sentenced to Prison time. This Brother “Spit” nothing but TRUTH!!

Edmund Burke. … Very Wise Man! Excellent! Thanks!
I love this kid. He’s a wonderful lyricist and I’m going to download this right now. (Thanks Ari!!)
This kid is about to become famous from this. He’s probably thinking “holy shi*, I’m about to get like a million more followers”.😎
I am pretty sure he isn’t thinking that. He wanted to speak truth in the land where lying and forgetting awful things without reflecting and talking about them, is a normal thing.
@JOANA M Agree with you, and if he does get millions of views thanks to the spotlight, it is well deserved. Stay safe.
There is so much wrong with your post. (no offence intended). kid, famous, million followers and the emoij. It breathes complacency and the wrong priorities.
It’s too bad this was in a timed format because I feel like it could have gone much longer
“Better a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king that who no longer knows how to heed a warning.” ECCLESIASTES 4:13
Everything he said was just simply common sense
Yeah, but you know what they say about common sense? It’s not very common.
“Vague tweets about loving everyone but you can’t wear a mask to save somebody’s grandmother “ ⚡️📭 🔥
Actually a lot of them says it is a hoax, that they dont care abt others, that it’s their body, that it’s survival of the fittest, that no one should be a sheep. I never heard any loving words from these Trumpers.
@Min Young What if the worst souls are in the fittest bodies? What sort of world do you end up with then?
@Diane O’Donovan Nothing else needs to be said. You nailed it!
Great comment! Going to steal it if I may?
i appreciate you having me and givin the art a platform
❣️💛🖤Awesome 🤍🤎❣️
👊
Simply amazing! Much deep respect! <3
Keep kicking that real 👊🏿💯
You Sir are DOPE
