Gerund

-Thank you so much for being in studio, for being here.

Past simple

I'm gonna come here in person to be with you.

-Thank you, thank you. -I appreciate that.

You know I loved it. -Thank you very much.

Second time for "Da 5 Bloods," appreciate it.

-Yeah, that's right. I want to talk to you about

a project I heard is going to be your next project.

You're doing a musical, and it's a musical about Viagra.

if God willing, and the creek doesn't rise.

But I want to give you another piece of information

about the film referred to, Brother Jimmy.

This is gonna be the hardest film I ever made.

I had to think of all -- -Had to think of all of it --

-It's gonna be the hardest film I ever made!

Stop the show! Stop the show! -Stop the show!

the one that you came out before, "Da 5 Bloods."

I loved it. And I actually told you, my dad was in Vietnam,

-Dude, he loved it, as well. I just love that all these guys

and girls have stories to tell that fought in Vietnam.

-Well, again, thank you for having me today, on MLK Day.

The black soldiers in Vietnam did not know

are burning a hundred cities in America?"

And she's screaming -- I swear on her grave --

They killed Dr. King! They killed Dr. King!"

And an argument can be made that Dr. King was assassinated

but because he was one of the first people, vocally,

out front, to say the war in Vietnam was immoral.

because they're hearing this over the radio.

-That's where the majority of the black troops --

Would also like to say, in the latest stage of the Vietnam War,

they made up a third of the fighting forces.

Yet African-Americans are only 10% of the population

Only 10% of the population but yet we were third

-Yeah, there's so many stories. And also, over the years,

-I want to show everyone a clip from the movie.

a white man assassinate Dr. Martin Luther King.

Dr. King also opposed the U.S. War in Vietnam.

Black G.I., your government sent 600,000 troops
