Snoop Dogg
Floyd Brown
George Wallace
Jill Stewart

Bill: Good evening.
Welcome to "Politically Incorrect." Let me introduce the panel to you.
Right over here is a man I've known for more years than probably either one of us want to admit.
George Wallace.


George: Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.


Bill: One of the greatest comedians in the world.
He will be at the Cleveland Improv Thanksgiving Day weekend.
You never stop working, and you were right all those years ago when you said it would be a crazy world.
It is a crazy world.


George: Crazy world.


Bill: And you have a new movie coming out, "The Wash," coming out tonight.
To your right, Jill Stewart.
Jill's an award-winning journalist.
She is the political columnist for the "New Times Los Angeles." Thank you for being here.


Jill: Thank you.

[ Scattered applause ]



Bill: Over here --
save your applause till the end --
Floyd Brown.
Floyd, you must have been with us 20 times by now.
One of our most frequent guests.
Executive director of the Young America's Foundation and caretaker of the Ronald Reagan ranch.
And of course, Snoop Dogg, not the caretaker of the Ronald Reagan ranch.

[ Laughter ]



Floyd: You should come and see it sometime, man.


Bill: He has sold over 10 million records, most of which I have in my own collection, and is now an actor.
You were fabulous in "Training Day," by the way, and you're also in "The Wash." He is also my nephew, and he's so crazy.

[ Laughter ]

Okay, give a hand to the panel.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Okay.
So let me talk for a second about our attorney general, John Ashcroft.
I have criticized him in the past.
I've always found him to be scary and creepy.
But now that there are people in the world who I want us to scare, I'm kind of glad we have a scary, creepy guy of our own.

[ Laughter ]

Hey, we got a scary creepy guy, you --
okay.
I just wish he would read his own quotes.
John Ashcroft on November 8th said, "We cannot --
" and I assume he means the Justice Department.
"We cannot do everything we once did because lives now depend on us doing a few things well." Well, then, why, oh why, oh why is he busting people who just want to die? He's going after the medical marijuana clubs.
He's going after the assisted-suicide law in Oregon.
The people of Oregon voted twice to say, "Hey, if you're dying, if you wanna die with dignity, let us do it ourselves.
Let a doctor assist."

George: Right.


Bill: Where does this government in this wartime have the time to go after people like this?

Floyd: Bill, you remember during his confirmation hearings, which were very controversial, he was asked repeatedly over and over again, "Will you enforce the law? Will you enforce the law?" All the attorney general is doing is enforcing the law.


Jill: That's not quite right.
That's not quite right.
No, no, no.


Floyd: These are controlled substances.


Jill: But he can choose what to go after.


Bill: Yes.


Jill: He can push --
if he's really into civil rights, he can go after that.
He isn't.
He's going after medical marijuana because it bothers him.
He's going after the right to die because he thinks it's wrong personally.
He doesn't have to enforce every single law.
He's moving on a political platform here.


Floyd: I cannot believe I just heard you advocate picking some laws and enforcing those and not enforcing others.


Bill: No, no, no.


Jill: That's reality.
That's how Washington works.


Floyd: Fundamental.
Fundamental to our form of government is the rule of law.
And that means if we have laws, you enforce those laws.
If we don't wanna have those laws, talk to Congress.
Repeal them and don't have controlled substances.
But you know that won't happen, and I can't believe --
you know, there are other laws you probably would stamp your foot up and down and say, "Those have to be enforced.
Those have to be enforced." For example, the laws about abortion clinics, okay?

Jill: I feel that way on murder and different things, but right now in the United States, we have not yet had the national dialogue on the right to die.
We have not worked it out as a nation yet.


Floyd: It's against the law.
It's against the law.


Bill: Not in Oregon.


George: Not in Oregon.
Each state should have the right to make that decision.


Floyd: You're just wrong.


George: No, it's not wrong.


Floyd: You're absolutely wrong, George.


George: Each state should have that decision.
I think even if you live in Youngstown, Ohio, you should have the right to die whether you're sick or not, you know what I'm saying?
[ Laughter ]

That should be your right.


Floyd: Then you should tell your congressman.


Bill: What are you saying? Are you saying it's a boring town, is that right?

Jill: You're gonna get calls from Youngstown.


George: They can call me from Youngstown.
I don't care.
Hell, there ain't but three people live in Youngstown.

[ Light laughter ]



Bill: Wait a second.
You're being disingenuous.
You know as well as I do, prosecutorial discretion.
People do, all the time, at every level of law enforcement from the policeman on the beat.
He can bust almost every car that goes by, but who does he pull over?
[ Laughter ]



Jill: Snoop.


Snoop: I don't have no problems with nothing he's doing, you know what I'm saying, because he's gonna do what he gotta do, and we gonna do what we gotta do.
You can't catch everybody.

[ Applause ]



George: Well, I say the terminally ill means terminally ill, right? So why postpone a situation if you wanna go now or go later? What difference does it matter? If I wanna die, what's wrong with me dying happy?

Floyd: This isn't even about you dying.


George: It is about me.


Floyd: No, it's about somebody else killing you, a doctor.
We're taking people at their most vulnerable stage of their life.


Bill: Yes, dying.


George: Dying, yeah.


Floyd: When they're depressed, when they're old, when they're infirm, when they're elderly.


Bill: When they're dying.


Floyd: We're shooting them up and killing them at their most vulnerable, and I find that ghoulish.
It's something the Nazis would have done.


Jill: In the first year in Oregon, they had 27 people who opted to die this way in the first year in Oregon's law, year 2000, and there were no problems so far.


George: And they didn't complain, either, after they die.


Bill: What about the medical marijuana, Floyd? What do you think about that? What do you think about medical marijuana?

Floyd: Actually, you know what? I support medical marijuana use.

[ Cheers and applause ]



George: I cannot believe this.


Bill: Hey, Snoop?

Snoop: What's up?

Bill: You didn't get with him before the show, did you?
[ Laughter ]

I've had this guy on the show a lot.
He's never for marijuana.


Snoop: Hey, I know Dr. Dre.
That's a doctor, and hey --

[ Cheers and applause ]

There you go.


Bill: Suddenly now he's for marijuana? I smell something.

[ Laughter ]



George: I think in either way, you will have a right to die.
It doesn't matter, because let's say if you go to the doctor --
first of all, if you don't have any insurance, you gonna die.

[ Laughter ]

Doctor walk into your room, yanking plugs out of the walls, you know? "I see you don't own a piece of the rock.
You're gonna die."

Bill: Back to my original point.
In this wartime atmosphere, okay, where we are --
he just said, "We cannot do everything we once did." Is that not refuting what you're saying, that we can do everything? "We cannot do everything we once did." Shouldn't he be trying to stop the people who wanna kill themselves by flying into buildings before he worries about --

[ Applause ]



Floyd: But do you not wanting him enforcing the civil rights laws?

Snoop: Maybe we should change them laws.
Them laws are kind of old, you know what I'm saying? It's 2001.
It's gonna be 2002.
Some laws need to be fixed for the time and the era, you know what I'm saying? Some of those laws need to be out of here.

[ Applause ]



Floyd: And I agree with that completely.
Congress changes the law, not Ashcroft.


Bill: They're whack.

[ Laughter ]

I'm helping ya.

[ Laughter ]



Floyd: Congress should change those laws, and if we wanna change them, you should talk to your congressman.
People ask John Ashcroft if he would enforce the law, and that's what he's doing.


Bill: Yeah.
He's choosing.


Jill: I think the thing we're forgetting here, though, is you're talking about an incredibly difficult personal decision that people are making.
It's often private, and we're all kidding ourselves here in this room, everybody sitting here, if we think that this doesn't happen every single day with cancer patients.
If you've been through hospice with anyone who's died, as I have, they hand you a bottle of liquid morphine this big, and they send you home with the family, and the family does or doesn't do whatever it wants to do.
And it's all private, and nobody says a thing, and everybody looks the other way.
And that's how it's been working in this country.
So already --


Floyd: That's not what we're talking about.


Jill: Well, the people who are dying are being put under pressure in a private way without the law.
If the law were there, I think there would be some protection for some private decisions that maybe people are offing people because they want their money.
That's what I think.


Bill: Speaking of that, you know, somehow John Ashcroft was a big states' rights guy when it came to civil rights, which you mentioned.
It was like, "You know, if the states want to go back to slavery, that's up to the state." But suddenly when the state, when the people of the state --
the people, who the politicians, they kiss their ass, "You're the wise ones." Somehow when the wise ones vote for medical marijuana or assisted suicide, suddenly they're not so wise, and the feds, the big bad feds, who shouldn't do so much, then they have to come in.


Jill: Yeah, it's incredibly two-faced of Ashcroft to come in and say he is a big states' rights guy.


Bill: Right.


Jill: He wants lots of stuff decided state by state, civil rights laws, for example.
Education laws, for example.


Floyd: Liberal senator after liberal senator that grilled and grilled this poor man about enforcing the law.
I mean, I think it is so disingenuous --


Jill: Don't go back to that.


Floyd: --
For the liberals to say he's not enforcing the law.


Snoop: Bill, if he's enforcing the law, why are so many of my friends and a lot of people around the world are locked up in jail for crimes they didn't commit? Why don't he enforce the law and go get a lot of the homies that's in jail for crimes that they didn't commit out of jail? We find that out right now through, you know, certain cases in movies that are put out.
You know, that a lot of people didn't do crimes that they're in jail for.
That's a great way to enforce the law.
Go get people out of jail who didn't do crimes.


Jill: That's right, Snoop.

[ Scattered applause ]

He should be heading up --
Snoop is onto something here.
He should be heading up --
Ashcroft should be heading up the new DNA investigations on death row.
That's what Ashcroft should be doing.


Floyd: So Ashcroft should be focused on getting people out of jail rather than putting people in jail?

Jill: If anybody who's facing death, yeah.


Floyd: You guys are so far out of step with most Americans, it's just outrageous, because Americans want law enforcement.

[ Scattered groans ]

And they want John Ashcroft to keep people behind bars.


Bill: I couldn't hear the end of that 'cause most Americans were drowning you out with "Boo!" I have to take a break.
We'll be right back.

[ Applause ]



Bill: All right, since you're here and you guys are here, I wanted to revive a topic I brought up right after the attacks happened.
I was trying to say in some way how could Americans understand --
'cause people were asking the question, "Why do they hate us?" And I guess that they, being whatever, young Muslim, mostly men, who were committing these acts or were sympathetic to them.
I said maybe the way we can understand it is what goes on in Compton or Cabrini-Green.
What goes on in some sort of ghetto like that where people have no hope? They live in poverty.
They're trying to find a way out, and they wanna get one against the man.
You think there's an accurate analogy there that we can understand?

Snoop: I don't.


Floyd: Not really.
No, no.


Snoop: We don't --
from the ghetto, me, myself being from the ghetto, we don't purposely hurt innocent people.


George: Never.


Snoop: You see what I'm saying? So it's like an isolated situation.
If we have a problem with the man, we go and get the man, not the man and some innocent kids and some people that work that have nothing to do with this.
I feel that that's totally inaccurate.

[ Scattered applause ]



Bill: There's a lot of people who have gotten hit by flying fly-by bullets.


Snoop: Yeah, but not 5,000, 6,000 at a time.
Maybe three, four, five, six.

[ Laughter ]

You know?

Jill: It's more like the United States in Afghanistan.
You know, a little bit of collateral damage here and there.
"I'm sorry about that, villager."

Bill: Maybe not at a time, but I remember seeing some guy on the news once, and he was talking about that very thing.
A bullet went through a building and killed some baby, and he said, "You know what? I shoot the bullets.
I can't control where they go."

George: In our ghetto, the poorest person is nothing like the person in Afghanistan.
They're not that poor.
At least we have some hope to look for.
If we do something, let's say if we have a problem, we play our music as loud as we want to, and the cops will come, but the cops are not gonna kill ya.


Jill: Not usually.

[ Laughter ]



Bill: Oh, come on.
You don't think the cops are seen as an occupying army in some places in this country just the way the Israelis would be seen as an occupying army in Gaza? I do.

[ Scattered applause ]



Jill: No, I totally disagree with you.


Bill: Oh, come on.
You told me you had a grudge against the police.


Snoop: I got a grudge against the dirty ones.


Jill: I've probably interviewed 300 or 400 black families in poor neighborhoods over the years, and they have a love/hate relationship with the cops.
They want the cops in the area.
They want to know that they're around.


Snoop: All cops ain't bad cops.
You know what I'm saying?

Bill: Really? Boy, you've mellowed.


Snoop: That's real talk.
I mean, I got a chance to get out and experience things and live and to grow old and to get wise.
I can't judge everybody by three or four of them that did me wrong and locked me up for nothing.
It's a handful of 'em out there that really protect and serve, and they deserve to get they props on what they do, and that's why I say we nothing like that.

[ Applause ]



Floyd: Bill, I think there's a real problem with Americans even understanding what --


Bill: Now, you've been smoking Floyd's dope.

[ Laughter ]



Floyd: I think it's impossible for Americans to understand what it's like in a place like Afghanistan.
Because, I mean, it's incredible when you start to look at the way they treat women, the amount of dysfunction they have.


Bill: Are you talking about the rappers now?
[ Laughter ]



Floyd: No, but I mean, no music.

[ Applause ]



Bill: So you're talking about the Middle East siders?

Floyd: I'm talking about Afghanistan.

[ Laughter and applause ]



Bill: All right, yes.


Floyd: But I mean, Americans always wanna impute their values on other countries.
I mean, that's the --
we always see everything from our perspective, and we don't even begin to understand what goes on in the Middle East.
We don't even begin to understand.


Snoop: What about this? I heard that this whole thing was about oil, right, that what's going on right now.
Me, I don't know.
I'm from the 'hood.
I don't know.
I just watch TV.
I heard this whole thing is about oil.
If the president was really big and smart right now, he'd say, "You know what? We don't have to deal with them oil no more.
Let's find another resource to create our way of getting it."

Bill: You're right.

[ Applause ]



Jill: Absolutely.
That's right, yeah.


Bill: Exactly.


Snoop: They cut us loose when they tired of us, right? When they're tired of dealing with us, what they do, they cut the county off.
They cut welfare off.
They cut all that off because they was trying to make a point with the ghetto, with the hood, so make a point with them.
Just cut 'em off completely.


Bill: Yeah.


Jill: Ooh, I like that.

[ Applause ]



Bill: That'd be great except that, unfortunately, we have an administration where a lot of the people there sort of came up through oil.
Their campaign was financed through oil.


George: Really? Really?

Bill: Some of them are sitting in oil right now.


Snoop: They playing ball with the enemy, trying to create a --
I don't understand it.


Floyd: We're dealing with a congress, too, that won't let them drill for oil that we know we have in America.
We have oil in Alaska.
We have oil off the coast of California.
We have a lot of oil.


Bill: We have only enough oil to prolong the problem a little more.


Jill: It's not gonna come from that kind of oil, though, from going after California and Alaska.
It's gonna come from conservation and creating what's called kilowatts, where you literally stop using, and they don't need --
stop using, guys.


Snoop: Exactly.


Jill: And they don't need to then build another power plant.


Floyd: Are you going to tell him to turn off his stereo system? How are you gonna do that?

Bill: That uses a lot of kilowatts.


Jill: We're using as much power in California right now as we did seven or eight years ago when we had far less people because people are cutting back.
And if you keep doing that, keep cutting back, there are ways to build your houses differently.
We have to rethink all of this.
It's not about drilling for oil.


Bill: No.
Have either one of you guys considered joining the black Muslims?

George: Yeah, I have because I like the suits they wear.
They look really nice, man.

[ Laughter ]

They look really nice.
I'm gonna get me one of those suits, too.


Jill: And that bow tie?

George: And a bow --
well, something.


Bill: But what do you think accounts for the popularity among black people to join up with the Muslims?

Snoop: It's not about popularity.
That's a religion.


George: That's a religion, yeah.


Snoop: That's what you believe in.


Bill: Yeah, but it's gotta be a choice.


Snoop: But it's not about popularity.


Bill: Ahmad Rashad wasn't born Ahmad Rashad.


Snoop: Okay, but that was a decision he made, you know what I'm saying, to follow his religion belief.
That's what he believes in.


Bill: But why? What is the attraction? What makes somebody go, "You know what?"

Snoop: Maybe you should have Mr. Farrakhan come on the show and let him holler at you and give you some game.
You know what I'm talking about?
[ Applause ]



Bill: I've invited him on many times.


Snoop: I'll holler at 'em for you, then.


Bill: You do it for me.
We'll take a break.
We'll be back.

[ Applause ]



Bill: All right, I'm still reading about this plane that went down yesterday.
I am not so sure --
they said today it was a bird.


George: A bird?

Bill: That got in the engine.


Jill: That's nonsense.


Bill: Here's --


George: And the engine fell off?

Jill: Both engines.

[ Light laughter ]

Both engines.


Bill: A 12-year-old kid --


George: That's a big bird, man.

[ Laughter ]



Bill: Maybe it was Big Bird.

[ Laughter ]

Maybe it was Larry Bird, that's it.
Larry Bird is really the problem.
No, this 12-year-old kid.
I believe him.
He's 12.
How much could he lie? He said, "I saw the plane and only one wing, and it was coming toward us.
It was on fire." So my question is, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I know you are.

[ Light laughter ]

Do you believe this is a bird in a plane?

Snoop: No, I believe this is another phase of what we seen on the 11th.
It's just they doing it another way.
Without them taking over the plane, they just gonna take pieces off the plane.
Security need to really step up and do a good job.
I think they really laid down after it was over with.

[ Light applause ]



Jill: Snoop brings up a great issue because they're not checking the people who deal with the food on airplanes or take food in.
They're not double-checking them, and the people who clean the toilets.


George: Plus, all the bags are not being screened.


Jill: Somebody could have loosened a bunch of bolts.


George: All the bags are not being screened.
It's just at random, one bag at a time, and we gotta go through every bag, I suppose.


Bill: You travel more than anyone I've ever known.


George: I travel more than anybody in the world.
I can take all these people with me right now anywhere I wanna go.

[ Cheers and applause ]



Bill: And I've seen him do it.


George: I said I could, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

[ Laughter ]



Bill: Now, as a seasoned traveler like you, you must be pissing in your pants.


George: In a way, I am.
I've always thought this.
Years ago, I thought, you know, we're here.
Nobody's checking luggage.
And before two months ago, anybody could just walk on an airplane with anything.
Now, the problem is these security kids.
You got these kids out there, and I don't --
excuse me for using this expression, but if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

[ Laughter ]

Excuse me.
But some of these kids are young.
They can't even get a credit card, and they know what a bomb looks like? You've been through the airport before.
Some of these kids don't care.


Bill: Why should they care? They don't fly on planes.
It's like the kitchen help in a fancy restaurant.
They don't care if you choke on the soup.


George: That is the major problem with air travel.


Jill: I heard today that L.A.X. has a 17-mile perimeter, a fence that's 17 miles around.
Who's checking it? Nobody.


Bill: So my question is, if we --
if it's two months after September 11th, and we're in this state with security, why are the people not holding the leadership accountable?

Jill: Because they put the National Guard out there as a salve to trick us into believing it's safe.


Bill: The National Guard.


Jill: That's strictly for show.


George: But some of those guys are just like the high school graduates, too, let's make that clear.


Bill: It's not their job.
Why isn't anyone holding accountable our president?

Snoop: You heard what I said.


Bill: What?

Snoop: The president needs to step up, be a big fish and cut it out.


George: This is true.


Snoop: He the only one that can.


Jill: What should he do?

Snoop: I don't know.
He's the president.

[ Laughter and applause ]

You asking the question like --
I ain't never been in the White House.
They won't even have me in the White House.
My question I can't even ask.

[ Laughter ]



Floyd: I'm gonna step up and defend our president a little bit.
I think the president has been doing the best he can given this is a huge country that he's trying to turn and trying to focus.
They're reorganizing the FBI.


Bill: But if he wasn't so beholden to some of these corporate interests.


Floyd: They've been pushing hard for Congress --


Bill: I don't hold it against him what he can't do.
But some of this is not because he can't do it.
It's because he won't do it.


Floyd: We have a very --


Bill: I have to take a commercial, Floyd.
I'm sorry.

[ Applause ]



Bill: Floyd, what were you saying?

Floyd: I was saying that in this system that's made to be decentralized, where things are supposed to move slow, Bush is moving very quickly.


Bill: George Wallace, 105 The Jam, in New York City.
