Do you guys mind if I cut out the Tenets of the Leftist Democrat Woke religion part & upload it? It's absolutely priceless.11:40 to 11:58 or there about.
Thanks
@@victoriapruitt1209 Have a go ... idk... but be sure to watch
this short informative clip when you can ruclips.net/video/faQBnrr_Uqo/видео.html
Canadian >> savvy >> at the airport
This guys spot on, I've completely tuned out to hollywood.
As an actor, I'll say this: Most interviews with actors are so boring. This is an exception.
Yeah, this guy is so interesting and so lacking in bullshit.
Agree this was a great episode
That's because this actor is bright.
Aaaand, he'll never work again.
Of course I hope I'm wrong, but maybe too brave.
@@prybarknives I really hope all these based actors coming out of the woodwork is a sign of things changing
Jesus, this guy could NOT be more right!
@@scinformation7229 he's talking to Jesus, with "this guy" as the subject.
To be honest it's too late. Most sensible people now despise most celebrities and ignore most of what comes from their woke mouths.
Good. Time we moved past putting feckless individuals on pedestals.
I think you are correct. I’m to the point where I despise Hollywood. I cannot handle any
More of their agenda thrown at me
It's going to require a full collapse of the entertainment industry, and all fresh new faces to fix this.
Personally i've completely given up on movies and TV as a medium at this point, it's just trash and propaganda now (there might be the odd good ones, but i'm done digging through the pile of manure trying to find them), and i've given up on most of gaming aswell, as most of the big players have now also gone woke (there's still some good stuff coming out of the AA, indie and Japanese industries, but finding it is getting harder). I'm actually glad i never got into comic books, because that has spared me from dealing with the woke garbage that's become.
On the flipside, it's done my health some good, as i've started working out and going for walks a lot more, and i've become a much more routined Bass player.
@@Grobut81 Could not agree with you more. I now hardly watch movies and find myself binning more and more from Amazon and Netflix. I'm wondering whether they don't care, whether they're in lala land (and in their death throes) or whether there is still plenty of demand from young, gullible, clueless people!
Same. I don't take any interest in celebrities anymore. I can't spend my time listening to people who have a completely different lifestyle than me. We have different problems. Me listening to someone rant about BLM or whatever is not gonna help me buy myself a house and survive.
Something I saw recently: My generation did everything to get rid of labels. This generation is all about finding a label for everything. So true and so sad.
Keep saying that - we stayed a lot
Daniela. Couldn't agree with you more. I was raised to be colorblind but to appreciate diversity, and we raised our kids to be the same. Now, EVERYONE is being labelled! I've watched 60 years of progress get wiped out. Its disgusting. So many are being told they're a minority and they're "victims" and they're owed something. The result of this is everyone is pissed off.
Yes! I said this my friend the other day. Growing up I saw a world that was against labels not it’s all about labels.
@@rollinmark8952 I feel like we're being gaslighted. I'm sixty, we did all this-trans people came out, affirmative action, forced integration and now they act like Bull Connor is still running things when there are blacks in every strata of society, including the presidency. Baltimore was essentially run by blacks when that police brutality case came out. Police chief, mayor, multiple. local legislators, the Attorney of the United States. Oh, and the President of the United States.
That's a good observation, actually.
He seems a genuinely nice and wise guy. Great guest
My God, I want to hear Clifton Duncan read audio books. So soothing...
Great idea!
His voice is lovely and his diction is so absolutely pleasing.
Absolutely! Maybe he could do a series where he reads some of the classic books he mentioned.
Oh yes! And I'll be looking out for his work.
His voice is like liquid gold
As a trained (and acutely deplatformed) actor, singer, speaker, I loved this video. Thanks Clifford.
What a seriously smart and articulate guy. Wow.
and he has the Hoods eyebrows
He's exactly like my black uncle.
He's still working into his mid 70's, he's experienced real racism in his younger days.
He finds progressives pandering to him offensive, he just wants to live his life as he wants to.
To be fair if he was white you wouldnt be complimenting how "articulate" he is. Not that he isnt, but nobody would bring this up for a white actor...
@@ponysoldier6770
Or perhaps because he's an actor.
Let's face it, most actors aren't exactly mental giants.
@@grunthostheflatulent9649 they arent but there is subtle racism in low expectations and I say that as a non woke person.
Complimenting him for being articulate isnt racist but it does show that you expect black people to not be articulate 🤷♂️ nobody calls robert downey jr articulate for pronouncing things correctly I think
Really enjoyed this. Clifton deserves a bigger platform, a pleasure to listen to.
I really feel this. I’m a woman and I’m so sick of movies with overt feminist messages. It’s patronizing and it doesn’t accurately represent your average woman.
And we feel the pressure to be super women all the time. Sometimes I want to crib and not be told to be strong or whatever. I can do that without being told.
Yes. And the message is misogynistic because women have to behave like careerist narcissistic men to be respected.
What a fantastic guest. Great mind. Great speaker. Clearly put thought into his beliefs. Young black men need and deserve more people like this for role models and less wanna be gangsters and rappers.
I feel disappointed for him that he works so hard to perfect his craft but he can't tell sometimes whether he's been hired on merit. That must be so personally demoralising at times, but he definitely is interesting to listem to and his English accent was really good too!
That’s the problem I see with meeting quotas. It’s a tricky issue
Right, and doesn't that mean that we've gotten some things during the last 60 years wrong? The whole point was to not see people as skin color, but as people, with all of that that means and here we are, in 2021, and an obviously skilled and talented black American has to wonder whether he really earned a role? We've screwed something up if a man such as Clifton actually wonders whether he was the best for a role.
Absolutely, so talented and gorgeous too!
Wow, Clifton is a dude. Never heard of him, but he has joined up thinking. Much gratitude. Ty.
This guy is one of the smartest and most articulate guests they’ve had in a while, and what’s more he’s not an intellectual, he’s an actor. Go figure
I avoid films which lecture social justice issues
Films and tv shows are just infested with identity politics. I never thought I’d see them so heavily promote such an agenda
Yep . I haven’t been to a cinema or streamed a movie in at least 7 years. :(
are there any without now ?
@@joycegibbs5267 That's a good question. Every single modern thing I've seen for the last few years has made either direct or blatantly obvious 'indirect' supportive references to woke nonsense.
Vote with your wallet
I had applied for a training course for post production in the film industry and I got an email yesterday from the British Film Institute telling me that I didn't get it because "the successful candidates were selected based on diversity targets."
As a self hating 49 year old, balding, ginger, Irish, straight, white male looking for a career change I don't fancy my chances.
See and that’s the problem going on today. We talk about racism and discrimination in the work place and it exists but whites are being discriminated against too! They are literally losing out on jobs because of the color of their skin . Very unfortunate but hood luck trying to fix this problem as I see it only getting worse
Stay strong
@NegativePhil Productions I not only sympathize; I empathize. _Please... Don't Give Up!_
Honestly, with statements like that from the British Film Institute it would put you off pursuing a filmmaking career. I think you need to break out on your own like Richard Linklater did. He watched films for ten years and makes lofty ideas and somehow some of them work. He didn’t do the films every weekend with his friends, or the fancy filmmaking school and PTA quit film school and got a refund and used the money to make a documentary on the porn industry. There’s no set route. Lucky is definitely invoked, but interest and passion are the most important factors. I think many people who are into films convince themselves they are passionate but true passion is something that shows itself in your work. If it’s meant to be it’ll be, my friend.
LOVED this guy - hilarious yet erudite at the same time. 10/10!
Always brave to stick your head above the parapet - especially in Clifton's industry and, as he says, when you are not a household name. We need more characters of integrity to save the entertainment and arts industry.
I've never agreed more with another human being in my life. He even played Double Dragon as a kid. It's like someone cloned me, but made me black and talented.
you're talented. just in potential!
@@turgonnaish
I knew that one day all of that sitting around eating chocolate and playing video games would pay off.
Love that comment👍
@@conrad1on I’ve been doing that for years too, but I feel my break is just around the corner! Any day now...
@@CliftonADuncan great interview man! Really enjoyed, thanks!
Cifton, as an actor is such a brave and honest human being... he deservers the world. I salute his honesty and his integrity... my hope is more people wake up to this.... madness!!!
One of the great Trig. Interviews. Fascinating man.
" a deadness behind the eyes..." So apt of many of today's celebrities.
Who is this guy?! Certainly intend to find out. How invigorating are is his views!!? Interesting man.
No contest over who’ll be the best looking bloke in the studio today 🥰
The bleeder?
KK
Yes ma'am!!
Easily FF...
Which one of the two gargoyles are you talking about?
49:49 - Thing is, we as a society are obssessed with being "nice", but not with being good. And sometimes we need to shake each other, confront each other's certainties and resolutions. These are not "nice" things to do, but they are good for us all.
What a smart and real conversation..it's a pleasure to see down to earth people in this crazy world.🥰
Yes we need many more people like him
Thank You for the introduction to such a lovely human being. He's definitely on my radar now and look forward to seeing his artistic work and social media contributions.
What a beautiful mind! Intelligent, passionate and lucid. I could listen to him for hours......
Mr. Duncan, you are indeed a prince among men! Thank you for being real, honest, and definitely courageous! Your message rings true with so many more than you realize.
It's a crime that Thomas Sowell isn't more widely recognized within the black community.
There's fundamental flaw in his work, a flaw that even his fellow right wing African peers point out, and that's that he completely negates colonialism and the enduring effects of racism in his analysis. Ultimately, his work goes to placate the virtues of the Right, I imagine that's why you like him. Aside from that, he is a genuinely interesting scholar.
@Abu Mohandes Yes, of African background, the common nomenclature for this is African-American. I thought given the context "African" would suffice to convey as much. Evidently not.
@@SacClass650 well it’s probably because the effects of racism cannot be seen or determined thus added into the research. No smart researcher would include something that cannot be measured
@@billsimms2511 If that's the story you wanna tell yourself, Bill. However, racists certainly think there is, that's why they developed an aligning academia in order to highlight the racial differences between those who were white and those who weren't, this in turn, informed how societies were ordered etc, etc.
Your comment is, frankly, stupid.
Even if that’s the case, and I’d propose it’s not having read many of his books - even if true and giving you the premise validity, what exactly do you propose to do about it in the 21st century? You say you find his work other than that interesting but if you can give me one solution that doesn’t arbitrarily effect people that were not involved, ie everyone, you wouldn’t make the claim. His work is empowering without the need for sins of the father type payments.
This was one of my favourite ever interviews. What an interesting and thought provoking interview. I'm really looking forward to following Clifton and hearing more of what he has to say.
I hadn’t heard of him before. He’s remarkably articulate and insightful and very beautiful
"If you spend years.. lying to yourself, then you're not going to be able to lie truthfully for an audience." Brilliant.
And Francis, you've rarely been better than you are here. Amen.
Clifton is a top shelf man
I can’t believe i haven’t heard of this guy before?! Great episode! 👍
The Daily Wire is dipping into the entertainment business and smart, talented, level-headed people like this gentleman would be a great addition. Wonderful interview guys...thank you! 👏🙂
Agreed!
They’re spending $100M on making children’s content and more making non-children’s content. More than dipping their toe. Watch this space.
I loved when he gave that breakdown on the new secular 'religion' - their tenants are incredible. And they are devoted!
Great conversation. Clifton is so articulate and thoughtful. Excellent guest, and I cheer him on in making his mark in the theater of ideas!
Never heard of this cat until today. Thanks for giving him exposure and a richly deserved platform.
Right on Clifton Duncan! Will support you for sure Sir!
His voice is warm and very elegant. I would love to hear him do audiobooks, and other voice work.
Wait, what? A sane person? There ARE sane people out there. Oh thank you. And a serious sane person. No joke I feel a little better.
Looks like we're seeing the next stand out star for Daily Wire Films.
Clifton Duncan is the new leader of Wakanda!!! He is a badass!
🤣😂
Wdym mean new tchalla was just the stand in
What a brilliant guest!!! Loved it!
The most important part of the conversation was about how affirmative action (equity) feels when people get hired because of their race. It's not nice.
It's a 2-way street. I have seen qualified Blacks and Hispanics that were not hired and ridiculed for their race, while less qualified Whites were. If we are truly going to eradicate bigotry, we have to a. Recognize and address it when it happens to us or our tribe AND b. Speak out when members of our tribe oppress others. Tribe can be defined in terms of race, gender, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Bigotry is a 2-way street so both sides must be addressed when they commit bigoted acts. It can't be a 'bigotry for thee, but not for me' situation. However, people on the ________(left, right, Black, White, male, female, fill the blank) only care about when it happens to members of their tribe. But when their tribe members do it, they protect them. This hypocrisy is hurting us all and preventing us from making progress.
This is why many black intellectuals are against affirmative action. They want to get in based on their merit and ability, not their race. The monkey wrench is though, if you take away affirmative action, what happens? You will probably see lopsided hiring processes and ratios and there go the shouts of racism again. It’s a complicated issue
@Abu Mohandes exactly, when you have to meet quotas it decreases the overall quality of work being done. It waters everything down but at least it’s more equal...?
@@billsimms2511 The solution is laws against discriminatory hiring. We don't have affirmative action (aside from a recently introduced gender quota for publicly traded companies) here in the Netherlands, but we do have a law forbidding discrimination based on race, gender, whatsoever, when hiring someone.
Thanks guys, another wonderful guest who speaks from reason and integrity.
I don’t know Clifton, but I might love this man! 😆 So great to hear logical common sense from someone in Hollywood.
He says he wishes he was more articulate? I was hanging onto his every word. He shows real insight about so much that's going on, right now. An intelligent guy who, crucially, understands the value of curiosity - Lack of knowledge is not our biggest problem - It's all out there, but lack of curiosity is holding us back.
What a fantastic interview! Also Francis was very much in his element here :)
Clifton, you are a brave man and when you expressed doubt about getting work, my heart sank for you. Surely this will not be the case, and as someone I love dearly said “He who seeks to keep his life will lose it, and he who seeks to lose it, will find it”. I am trusting the latter will be true for you. As a NY actor myself, I am particularly grateful for your thoughtful and courageous pushback against the insanity.
This was an absolutely fascinating conversation. Thank you.
My daughter was in theater here in California and participated in all the competitions and she couldn’t be herself at all or she would risk being not only sidelined but attacked.
California has become a sad place.
There’s some actors who talk up a big game, who sound very intellectual but are totally caught off guard when they’re not in their element, but this guy makes me believe he means what he says. A full head and shoulders above all the other actors
As an Ordinary bloke... I'm all about this...
What a diamond you found and let me know. I am an avid classic movie fan from Noir, silver Screen to HBO, and my affection for great actors/tress is movement, pitch, timing and the eyes ..... Clifton has so many of these naturally... his sense of humanity comes through so effortlessly too. Will be chasing his work and thank for introducing him to my life. 🙏
Hey Konstantine. I too had a cinema pass for many years and slowly realised that more often than not I felt that ''there was two hours of my life I would never get back''. I occasionally watch a movie at home and more often than not I thank God I did not waste money going to see it. Good interview. I like this guest.
I mean the first 30 seconds the man summed up my WHOLE opinion about this Hollywood stuff.
OMG I love this guy!!! He is great!!!
Wow an actor who sounds like an intellectual and not repeating pre-written script created by their agents and management is such a rare sight, this guy is awesome.
In my case, it takes quite a bit to grab and hold my attention, but Clifton managed to do that from beginning to end and I'm sure to go back and listen to the whole interview again shortly. In fact, your past few guests have given me hope that we just might be able to salvage this world from the insanity that's trying to bring it down.
I'd just like to thank you guys at Triggernometry, Konstantin and Francis, for the work you're doing. It may not look like much at first sight, but by providing the stage to have these discussions while offering people like Clifton a place to speak their minds, you're playing a big role in turning this whole thing around.
Seems like a genuinely lovely bloke, nice to hear his opinions.
The heroic nature of many female characters is their bravery: that they do what they do despite the threats of sexual and physical violence. Taking that threat away by pretending that they can beat the sh!t out of any man diminishes them.
Christopher Barclay: But these are Super Heros in the movies and comics. The male super hero roles are not realistic to human male strength. It is fantasy. It isn't real.
Loved this interview, laughed a lot. Glad to hear another black person who sees things more akin to the way I do.
Honestly, this is the first actor i've heard state the obvious about Hollywood. the shite coming out of there,netflix,etc,, can't die soon enough.
"woke placement in films takes away from the storytelling" The thing in words! Definitely one of their best interviews!
I've been saying the same thing about realism in our stories as Clifton is saying. Shows, movies, and plays that are based in believability are the most enthralling. Even CGI portrayals that are done well sometimes kill the films these days. When we used claymation and puppets at least the characters in question looked like you could touch them, they could be right in front of you.
Clifton Duncan will be a household name and he will be attacked by the left & sometimes the right. Vary smart person and a solid personality, as long as he can take it.
That's a lot of charisma in one guy, excellent interview. Could use links to the guests stuff too in the description.
I love everything this man says! Thanks for having him on. Clifton Duncan, if you see this, you're doing the right thing by speaking up. More people should. May your career skyrocket!
Also, as someone who works in Hollywood, I have another answer to Konstantin's question about why movies have gotten so unoriginal. It's the simple, obvious one: since corporations have taken over Hollywood, studios are run by non-creative people who care only about maximizing profits. They discovered years ago that remakes, sequels, and familiar franchises earn the biggest guaranteed revenue (not just in ticket sales but in toys, t-shirts, games, merch) so they rarely take a chance on an original story. The studio moguls of yesterday were also interested in profits, but they cared equally about making great entertainment. Now it's just about money.
But I feel the decline in movies is also related to the general cultural stagnation we see in art, music, fashion etc. Kurt Andersen observes this in his book Evil Geniuses. Cars in 1960 looked nothing like cars in 1970, which looked nothing like cars in 1980. But today, cars look roughly the same as they did 20 years ago. Women's clothing stores have been peddling the same regurgitated 1970s styles for at least 13 years now. Fashion trends used to change drastically every 5 to 10 years. How is no one noticing this?? It blows my mind. But it is hard to pinpoint the exact problem.
I think a big factor in stagnation of styles is owing to mass, factory production. Alongside the production of say, cars, falling into fewer and fewer multi-national corporations. In many ways, you could argue that technology as caused its own stagnation.
@@openmusic3904 Yes, good point. Although cars and clothes etc. have long been mass-produced, the population boom plus globalization have probably led to a mega-mass-production situation in which products are more uniform in their style, less distinctive than ever. That explains why all the new apartment buildings springing up in US cities look identical: boxy, midcentury inspired, and hideous. I still don't get why most people don't seem to notice or care. Maybe because they are too immersed in tech/social media artificiality to look around at the real world? Is that what you mean by tech stagnation?
Oh thank you for this interview! I tried to watch a movie few days ago, 'I Care A Lot' - two women doing really, horrible, unfair things to old people for money because "women can be tough and nasty too". Yeah, they are heroines. I am a woman but I found the movie unbearable. After a scene where our heroine says, 'do you know how many men have threatened me?', I had enough. I mean....if a man calls you a b**** when you cross him, it's not because he is a man. It's because he is a bully. And bullies come in all sizes and genders. Dave Chapelle has talked about a time when he was threatened. Even children get threats.
I started rooting for the human-trafficking-mafia-guys midway of the movie! That's how much I was turned off by the feminist lecture. So, good job present-day Hollywood writers👍
A thoroughly engaging and intelligent man. Thank you for a great interview as always.
I came here out of curiosity looking at the title since the Golden Globes just took place and... Little did I know, it would be so interesting! Clifton is amazingly articulate and sensible! Wow...
We all need to step back and really appreciate the courage it takes for anyone to speak out these days, especially those in industries that are especially woke. Thank you.
Excellent conversation and as a distinctly unwoke academic I love Clifton Duncan’s succinct pinning down of Othello, skewering the current cretinous and faddish theatre culture.
Thanks. Grateful for this. BLM was turning my fragile white brain into a racist. This guy is precious beyond any price.
BEST interview! Fantastic.
What a bad ass. Free thinking forever!
This was great. What a wholesome dude. ♥
An outstanding 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 conversation that gives me hope. Time to bring back commonsense. Sláinte 🍻 Cheers from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪.
You know all these actors that say they’re better than you? This guy actually is better than you and he didn’t say it once.
I could listen to him for HOURS
The name of this channel is still the most apt of all of them. Fits the general theme perfectly.
Good interview too, I like this guy, very aware of everything going on.
This was a great episode. Clifton really nailed it on numerous issues especially the part about us being too comfortable
Clifton's speech about the need for curiosity 1:00:00 really got me. As a scientist I had thought the world of acting was completely different to mine. But this one principle unites everything. The death of curiosity, open mindedness and growth of tribalism is seeping into all areas of society and causing widespread damage.
I would love to see this gentleman and Lawrence Fox in a quality production together. Would be the 3rd time I've bothered to go to the cinema in 5 years.
How could anyone not like this dude?
Fantastic young man! I really enjoyed this interview. What a fabulous attitude he has. Another one going on my Facebook page.
The world needs more conversations like this one. Thank you gentlemen!
Clifton is phenomenal, I can't wait for him to start putting out his own content. Thanks for the great show!
Love listening to people who just talk so much sense
LOVE this guy...he's right...New Yorkers and Californians have NO idea what is happening in the rest of the country...which is why I'm moving to Florida...
Great man! Wishing him all of the success 🙌
Most European movies are not preachy at all. They have no good/evil characters, no happy ending, no politically correct lecturing, and often no moral of the story. Why is there such a difference? Why Hollywood treats everybody like primary school kinds, who need to be lectured?
'Cos people like it?
A) They have a very high opinion of themselves,
B) they don't want to buried by social media justice warriors in calls of racism, misogyny, inequity, etc. If it's a "normal" movie.
I love listening to trained stage actors speak in regular conversation. He is so articulate with beautiful enunciation.
Love this. Great guest with wisdom and humour
Really interesting episode. If I got one thing to take away from Clifton, it is the loss of VITALITY in our times. Let us reclaim human values of fellowship, curiosity, and commonwealth!
Brilliant guest brilliant content. Bigots
Loved this, I could hear him speak for hours. Lovely voice, and message. Cheers!
I do not want or need woke speech in movies or the theater. I just want to enjoy something that makes sense.
