Chris Rock has some thoughts on arresting Donald Trump, and they're SPOT-ON



While Democrats are practically foaming at the mouth with excitement over the prospect of arresting Trump, some don’t see it as a positive.

Comedian Chris Rock took an opportunity on stage to warn his audience that arresting the former president might not go as planned.

“Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know that this is only going to make him more popular?" Rock asked.

"It is like arresting Tupac. He’s just going to sell more records. Are you stupid?” he continued.

The joke is likely in reference to Tupac’s 1995 album "Me Against the World."

The late rapper was serving an eight-month prison sentence for sexual assault when it was released. His sentence was later appealed.

Chris Rock at last speaks out about Will Smith's Oscars slap; takes aim at cancel culture, abortion



Chris Rock verbally smacked back at Will Smith during a live Netflix stand-up special Saturday, nearly a year after the infamous Oscars night assault, Rolling Stone and other outlets reported.

"Nobody was picking on her," 58-year-old Rock said of Jada Pinkett Smith, live broadcasting from Baltimore in the "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage" Netflix stand-up comedy special.

Actor Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith's husband, infamously walked up on stage and slapped Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith's hair while Rock was hosting the Oscars in April 2022.

"She said me, a grown-a** man, should quit his job because her husband didn’t get nominated for 'Concussion,' and then this n***a gives me a f****** concussion, OK? What the f***, man!” Rock said, in a 10-minute, expletive-drenched evisceration of Will Smith streamed live from Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre.

Rock goes on to explain, in his characteristic, no holds barred fashion, exactly what drove the infamous slap heard 'round the world. Until this point, Rock had said very little about the assault. Saturday night, that all changed.

Rock began by saying he took Smith's hit like boxer Manny Pacquiao, the Washington Post reported. He blamed Smith's assault on his wife's "entanglements." Namely, the couple's well-publicized embrace of marital infidelity.

"Everyone called [Will Smith] a b****," Rock said. "And who's he hit? Me. [Someone] he knows he can beat."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences banned Smith for 10 years after he slapped Chris Rock, as TheBlaze reported last year.

Speaking out about the slap was just one portion of Rock's 68-minute special.

Dressed in all white, the comedian also took aim at the hypocrisy of "woke business," the "selective outrage" of canceling some people but not others, the Kardashians, and more. Even Elon Musk could not duck Rock's metaphorical jabs.

"Women should have the right to kill a baby until he's four years old," Rock said, joking about the very serious topic of abortion.

For good or ill, that particular comment seems to have hit a nerve.

"He's crotchety. He's mean. He's predictable and boring," USA Today writer Kelly Lawler said of Rock's special.

"[Chris Rock has] started sounding like the guy at the end of the block screaming about kids these days ... If he's going to joke about abortion and killing babies, the punchline has to be better than 'children are annoying.'"

Chris Rock responds to Will Smith's emotional video apology: 'Everybody is trying to be a f***ing victim'



Will Smith released an emotional video apology for slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars four months ago, and Rock responded on the comedy stage at the Fox Theatre Atlanta.

“Everybody is trying to be a f***ing victim. If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims," Rock said. "Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith ... I went to work the next day, I got kids," he added. "Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face."

On "Fearless with Jason Whitlock," BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock praised Chris Rock's response, saying the comedian "can take a punch and deliver a punchline."

“Chris Rock is more manly than many black professional athletes. The 57-year-old comedian is barely 150 pounds. As a child, bullies ran him out of his high school. But now he’s more courageous than men who are allegedly gladiators,” Jason said.

Jason wondered how we have come to a point where a comedian is more courageous than an NFL quarterback. Deshaun Watson defenders will line up to play the race card over his six-game suspension for sexual assault allegations. Kyler Murray is so fragile, he needed Warren Moon to render aid after the Cardinals dared ask him to actually study for games as part of his $46 million dollar contract.

"The NFL is full of victims, and they're ruining the sport," Jason stated.

Steve Kim joined the show to discuss the victimhood mentality and whether all parties received a happy ending in the Watson saga, and Shemeka Michelle dropped in to examine Will Smith’s odd YouTube apology video and offer her approval rating on Chris Rock.

Will Smith banned from Academy events for 10 years following infamous Chris Rock Oscars slap



Award-winning actor Will Smith has been banned from Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences events for 10 years for slapping comedian and host Chris Rock during the Oscars last month, the organization's Board of Governors announced on Friday.

"The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards," members said in a statement, according to USA Today.

"We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18," Academy president David Rubin added in a separate statement to the outlet.

The news comes just over a week after Smith formally resigned from the Academy over the incident and said he would accept any punishment it decided to hand down.

The decade-long suspension is a major break from the Academy's original response to the actor's violent conduct at this year's Oscars.

Smith was allowed to return to his seat without consequence after walking on stage and hitting Rock during the televised ceremony. Rock had offended Smith with a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. Pinkett Smith suffers hair loss from alopecia.

Minutes later, Smith amazingly returned to the stage to accept the Best Actor award for his performance in "King Richard," a film in which he portrayed Venus and Serena Williams' father, Richard Williams. The audience gave him a standing ovation as he tearfully recited his acceptance speech.

Initially, the Academy issued a lukewarm response to the viral incident, saying only that "it does not condone violence of any form."

Later, it would issue another response specifically condemning Smith's actions and announcing the launch of "a formal review around the incident" that would "explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct, and California law."

The Los Angeles Police Department noted at the time that Rock declined to press charges against Smith after the on-air assault.

On March 28, Smith issued an apology to Rock and to the Academy for his "unacceptable and inexcusable" actions.

"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive," he said in part, adding, "I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."

As of Friday afternoon, Smith had yet to publicly respond to the newly-announced ban.
