It's because on the Daily Mail 109 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: they had like a picture of like Gaza blowing up 110 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: and and they said the Hadid sisters are attacking Israel, 111 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, They're like they're 112 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: out there the work need Yeah, yeah, they were in 113 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: the streets like that Daily Mail, I guess had a 114 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: little wrong. They weren't so accurate. They didn't they didn't 115 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: actually set different kind of agenda with that headline for sure. Yeah. Yeah, 116 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: so I needed to know more, right, And it wasn't 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: just merely because they were like pointing to the fact 118 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: that they were posting information about what was happening like 119 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: on their social media, and I think they were just 120 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: announcing to the world that they were half Palestinian, and 121 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: so they're taking it personally like these are two Palestinian 122 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: women are the half Dutch, half Palestinians. You're just saying, 123 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: we empathize with the people who are being killed on 124 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the ground, the Palestinians. And Daily Mail was like, uh, 125 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: is that is that? As I feel for anti Semitism 126 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: right now, it's really on on the highest it's ever been, 127 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: just to completely misconstrue something like what's happening to be 128 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: like oh no, no, no, don't talk spicy now that 129 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: you might be getting an anti Semitic territories like now 130 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: these people against Zionism and still be uh not anti Semitic. 131 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: I was just scrolling on Twitter non stop, so I 132 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: don't even I don't think if they think I'm reading 133 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: news anymore. I'm just looking at headlines like everybody else. 134 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Doom School. I was up until three o'clock last night 135 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: just looking and refreshing and trying to get a sense 136 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: for what the fund is happening in the world. And 137 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: the more I'm on it, the less I know. It's crazy, yeah, 138 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: and it's just and it unfortunately it's like yeah, it 139 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: feeds into already just all the ship that we're experiencing too, 140 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: and can yeah, become even a more of a tremendous way. So, yeah, 141 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: m what is something? Yeah, what is something you think 142 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: is overrated? Twitter? Okay, I mean we're on it. How 143 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: many users actually are even on Twitter? Like when we 144 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: think about the like the discourse of what what's happening 145 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: on American and what people are talking about. Usually I 146 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: would think about, like what people are talking about on 147 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Twitter and it was trending or whatever. But there's so 148 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: few users when thinking about how many Americans there are, 149 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: let alone how many people in the world there are, 150 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: So it almost feel like there's just this playpen in 151 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: the middle of the playground where people are just being 152 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: mean to each other. And sometimes I mean I might 153 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: be speaking for myself here, but I might be thinking, Okay, 154 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: well now we need to like work on this and 155 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: figure this out instead of letting people be angry invented 156 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: out of each other. Yeah, I would say it's overrated. 157 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: And and I'm somebody who's like refreshing trying to get 158 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: my follower counter up. I'm trying to get the numbers up. 159 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, And it's not like you know, And 160 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: I think I could trace it back to the moment 161 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: where I had a photography job. I was like shooting 162 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: something from Microsoft at our basil in Miami, and I 163 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: guess the person in charge was like, hey, how many 164 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: followers you have? And I was like, let me check, 165 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, twelve and it ended up being like 166 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: six and he was like okay, okay, and then they 167 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: replaced me. They got some other photographer who was worse, 168 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,599 Speaker 1: just had more followers. So after that, playing like I 169 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: can't let this happen again. I gotta get I gotta 170 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: get up. Bro. That's even worse than like a college degree, 171 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We're well, youven't got a 172 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: college degree. Well, sorry, you can't get this job. And 173 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, you can't get this work because 174 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: your followers aren't right to do with your ability, I know. 175 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: And as a journalist, it almost feels like you get 176 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: into this because you want to tell the truth and 177 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: you want to you want to get your perspective out there, 178 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: and then you end up having to fight for followers 179 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: and play this cloud game so that you can actually 180 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: get your work seen because a lot of people won't 181 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: even look at you, look at your work unless you 182 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: have the right amount of followers, right, Yeah, It's it's 183 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: pretty stupid. Does that like affect, you know, because we 184 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: talked about how much you know the format of ad 185 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: revenue on you know, media sit especially news, like how 186 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: click bait and getting clicks can be like a certain 187 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: like publications north Star essentially on how to like create 188 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: more numbers, more traffic, more engagement to the site. Do 189 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: you like from your perspective, do you think sometimes that 190 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: does have an effect like on the journalists themselves. I 191 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: know it's one thing for maybe the editors to be like, okay, 192 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: we we we got to start talking like this or whatever. 193 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: We want more headlines like this, But like you're saying too, 194 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: because Twitter and follower accounts are such a big deal 195 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: like that, that's also having this other effect on the 196 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: work that people do. Mhmm. That's a good question. Yeah, 197 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad you made the distinction between editors and journalists. 198 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: It's hard to say for me that your work is 199 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: affected by what's popular, because a lot of journalists are 200 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: just chasing their heart and they'll do like the easy 201 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: stuff on the side so that they can in a 202 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: way subsidize the bigger pieces that they want to do. 203 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: A lot of journalists have quotas where they need to 204 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: put out a certain number of pieces. But you know, 205 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: there's this new system emerging and that I'm starting to 206 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: see more and more outlets stick to where instead of 207 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: looking at the number of pieces you put out, they're 208 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: looking at the traffic you generate for the website right right, 209 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: and they're using that metric based on how much they 210 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: can sell and ad for on the real estate on 211 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: the site. Right. They take those numbers and they use 212 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: that to sell ads against. So that's what's making the money. 213 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: So you know, for someone like me, where I have 214 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: like a certain number I have to hit, I can 215 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: put out the easy ones that I think are just 216 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: gonna you know, like I could do one on COVID, 217 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: which is like guaranteed to get a certain number. But 218 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: then I have like the other side ones where I 219 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: can spend you know, like a month on on the 220 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: side because it means a lot to me. But that 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: won't get the traffic. But I'll be proud of it. 222 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: You know. I just put out this piece a couple 223 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: of days ago actually about the pollution of my neighborhood 224 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: and environmental justice. So I'm from Nework, New Jersey. It's 225 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: one of the most toxic places in America. We have 226 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: like four superfund sites like within a like a three 227 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: mile radio so where I live, super fund sites of 228 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: spots that are too toxic to build on, so they 229 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: just bury huge amounts of crossing ages under the ground 230 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: and they just leave it like that. So I wrote 231 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: a piece about like the pollution, and I know that 232 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: people are tired of it. You know, nobody's gonna really 233 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: want to like spend a lot of time on this 234 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: piece because it's depressing as hell, and I get that. 235 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: But I'm happy to put that out and that makes 236 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: me feel like I did. I did a good job 237 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: this month as a journalist. But at the same time, 238 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm also gonna run a piece about this doctor who's 239 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: going to bars and trying to convince people to to 240 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: get a vaccine shop for a free pint of beer, 241 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's like pretty clickie. So 242 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: I could do both. It's cool, right, Yeah, you're thought 243 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: three thousand was pretty cool. That's all People just don't. Yeah, 244 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: that story again, is about it someone who doesn't. These 245 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: digital court hearings are mess. I don't know why they think. 246 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: We've talked about the other with the group of the 247 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Chance makes people who like their homies like zoom bombs 248 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: the fucking hearing. That's amazing. Yeah, I mean I've been 249 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: on the Yeah, we're talking about the two like you 250 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: do it. If if if there's a way for the 251 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: homies to crash your court hearing, that's on the that's 252 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: on whoever you organized that. Yeah, PPM bro that they 253 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: can't find you go to the library or some ship. Right. 254 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: Oh man, I was just gonna say that somebody on 255 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: the editor youll side, like you definitely note who's like 256 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: been on a couple of different like editorial and like 257 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: pitch reviewing boards. You definitely see people who just pitched 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: to whatever they see succeeding, whatever they see getting published, 259 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: whatever they see getting like likes, and then it just 260 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: becomes this funnel. I mean it's similar to Twitter, right, 261 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, anything that is that reward based, 262 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: like that's gonna inevitably like kind of start funneling into 263 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: sort of a self fulfilling type of these like little 264 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: funnels of information of like what people want to hear. 265 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: And I mean, like I used to be a little 266 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: bit more positive about how the Internet and social media 267 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: and things like that, we're changing it so that there 268 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: wasn't just this this board of like all knowing people 269 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: who were the keepers of what got published like in 270 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: a magazine or in a newspaper. I think we kind 271 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: of have to go back to that. We we just 272 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: they don't all have to be white guys in their 273 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: forties and fifties, I think if we can address that, 274 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: but like still have people who are just focused on 275 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: what their duty is as as a media outlet, as 276 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: opposed to what is hitting right now, like you're gonna 277 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: but that that assumes we have a future where there's 278 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: still media like that hasn't been taken over by Facebook. 279 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: So I got a couple of problems to solve there. 280 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, let's get to make a Mallory on 281 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: that board or Nicolehanda Jones. Yeah, yeah, I can see 282 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: what that would look like. What is what's something you 283 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: think is underrated? Plants? I love plants, man, I think plants. 284 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I have so many, so many plants, and I want more. 285 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: And there's something I think on this topic. It's and 286 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: there's something really powerful about having to wait for something, 287 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, especially on Twitter, where everything is about the immediate, 288 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: like you're pulling down and refreshing like a freaking slot 289 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: machine and everything just you get everything right away. So 290 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: I think there's something really powerful and slowly watering a plant, 291 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: taking care of it, checking, checking the soil, making sure 292 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: it's not dry, and waiting for a month for that 293 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: first sprout, and then propagating, taking the leaves and soaking 294 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: them in water so that they can sprout new roots. 295 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: There's like something incredibly meditative about waiting, you know. So 296 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: I think Plants Team Bible. It was because of COVID man. 297 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: Because COVID I had to stay home like everybody else, 298 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and it drove me crazy, and I felt like I 299 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: needed something to pull me away from the screens because 300 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: I was going from tiny screen to medium screen to 301 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: big screen to medium screening the small screen just so 302 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: I needed to I needed like an activity in my 303 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: in my city environment where there's really not a lot 304 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: of space. So I needed something to do. And U 305 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: joined like this plant club where they gave you a 306 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: bunch of free plants, and that like really, it hit me, man, 307 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 1: it was. It hit me right in like three seconds. 308 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: I sat down. I was just staring at it like 309 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: the little seed and waiting for it to pop out, 310 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is dope. I want to 311 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: do this all day, just staring at dirt. Yeah, I 312 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: got I got notes on this plant. It's taken away 313 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: too long. We need a little bit more action up front, 314 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: maybe just a little tease. Just give me a little 315 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: bit up front on this plant. Right, I don't know 316 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: where's the smoke machine. I don't like this one, but yeah, 317 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: I was. We we propagate in my crib because it's 318 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: the second Like my mom she loves succulents and stuff, 319 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: and so when she first put us on too, like, no, 320 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: just live it off and get that thing going, and 321 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: then you can keep exponentially multiplying. And now we're like 322 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: kind of addicted to it. Like we got so many 323 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: clippings soaking in water that like at a certain point, 324 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, what do we do with all these? But 325 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: it is nice to like even the process. Yeah, there's 326 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: some meditative aspect to it because there is feedback, Like 327 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: it's it's not a process devoid of feedback, but it 328 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: takes time. And I think being able to sit within 329 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: those like intervals without the feedback is you know where 330 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: the zen comes in. Dude, I put it. I put 331 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: a couple of leaves in some some cups, some glass 332 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: cups so I can wash the roots.

And we're back, and you know, 379 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: we're we're continuing to aim. And as you were saying, 380 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: you know, my monitor doom scroll about what's happening Gaza 381 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: and Miles you were you were pointing out this one 382 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: specific headline that jumped out at you brought you back 383 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: to the days of Ferguson, because just watching this ship, right, 384 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: you start to just see the language and the tools 385 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: of oppressors and how they're deployed, and how identical the 386 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: strategies are. Like I've always I've never for a second 387 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: been like, oh man, like I wonder, what's what's really 388 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: the deal with Israel and Palastine. I've had a pretty 389 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: clear understanding from the beginning, but I've over the last 390 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: few days it really came into focus just how identical 391 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: nearly people's situations are in terms of seeking freedom, liberation, equity, justice, 392 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: and what their responses are and what the strategies are 393 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: for oppressors to sort of keep these marginalized groups where 394 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: they are and to keep people ignorant. And you know, 395 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: for example, like the media, then the same thing you've 396 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: got people like the New York Times are the you know, 397 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: most mainstream media in the in the West is not 398 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: gonna say illegal occupation or ethnic cleansing much in the 399 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: same way they were not going to say systemic white 400 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: supremacy or violent police uh, to obscure what was happening 401 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: in this country. You have leaders like Joe Biden who 402 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: were gonna equate rock throwing to like leveling residential blocks 403 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: and say, oh, man, shame on the shame on the Palestinians. 404 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: I've got no smoke for the Israelis for real, not 405 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: like that. The rock throwing is the w And exactly why, 406 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, in the build up to the primaries and things, 407 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, this is not a leader who's because 408 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: you knew, you know what time it is with Joe Biden, 409 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: He's never going to say something negative against this. That's 410 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: that's that's not gonna happen. But that's also why that's 411 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: a president who is not really interested in the liberation 412 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: of oppressed people either. In fact, he's on the side 413 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: of the oppressor. You got n Yaho doing the same 414 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: ship that even Fox News does, which is show old 415 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: dated footage of some ship that happened a few years 416 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: ago and be like, can you believe what's going on? 417 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: It's like you're showing a two year old clip, just 418 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: like when they were when they were like Fox News 419 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: is showing clips of Ferguson and saying that's what's happening 420 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: in and it's just all of this thing. You see. 421 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: Children are taught that the history of Palestine in Israel 422 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: is just so complex, you know, it's like that's not 423 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: really even get into it also complex, much in the 424 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: same way you have children in this country being like 425 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: they think the Civil War was over commerce and trade, 426 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: it being so complex, it being like an intractable like 427 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: problem with no solution. That is that was the main 428 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: message that I got throughout my life about Israel. Impels 429 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: ancient battle. It's not ancient, it's years right, And yes, 430 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: while there are some complexities, you look at what's happening 431 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: right now and the forces that are at play now, 432 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: and it's not that complex. It's not really. I mean 433 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: you're looking at they are slowly trying to kill these 434 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: people very systematically. It's just all there for everyone to see. 435 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: But it's because we have a media appress goes no, 436 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think so, and you have 437 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: leaders to be like no, no, no, they they're they're 438 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: firing rockets and stuff. So I think, you know, that's 439 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: that's a bad look for them. It's really, it's awful, 440 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: and it's it turns these moments and turns our history 441 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: into these nebulous, amorphous topics that can never have a 442 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: reckoning because they're too complex to talk about. And then 443 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: so this is what I was talking about this next thing. 444 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: So then I was watching the footage right because the 445 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: violence that's happening in Israel. Now you have Palestinians who 446 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: are taken to the streets to protest because yes, they're 447 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: they're advocating for themselves and their people, and they're being 448 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: met with these pacification weapons that I'm like, oh, this 449 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: ship looks a lot like the US. Look at that 450 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: thing spraying the water on everyone. Then I'm like wait, 451 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: then I'm reading about. It's called the skunk and it's 452 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: it's it's it's meant there to to spray this like 453 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: odorous water liquid that you can't wash off your scandal, 454 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: stick to your hair. Are the walls. They will just 455 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: blast whole towns for daring to protest, like a punitive 456 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: measures would be like, okay, well then we're gonna make 457 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: it smell like shit. And on top of it, the 458 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: way to get the stink off is with a soap 459 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: that police have exclusive access to. So this is what 460 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: we're talking. Then I remember this headline from after Ferguson unrest. St. 461 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Louis police bought stink weapons to launch at protesters. This 462 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: is made by a company called odor Tech, which is 463 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: an Israeli company, And I'm like, that's right, because many 464 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: activists know there's the pipeline of pacification tactics, police brutality, 465 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: or whatever these technologies are. It's it's we pass them 466 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: back and forth. Israeli's perfect diship on the Palestinians. And 467 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: then they come to the like, hey, this ship works, 468 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: and what they say it's been field tested, meaning it's 469 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: been deployed against human beings and Gaza Palestinians whoever, and 470 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: then we buy them and I'm like, Jesus christ Man, 471 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: We're it's the we're the We're on this. We're fighting 472 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: the same fucking people. Now, maybe the way we got 473 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: here very different, but they're the way they look at us, 474 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: the way they use the media to de human whether 475 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: it's black people being dehumanized through media for decades or 476 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: Arabs being dehumanized through film and media for decades, it's 477 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: like all the same ship. And I just it just 478 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: crushed me again to just look at it all like that, 479 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck, it's so true though, And it's 480 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: the craziest part for me is that we know we're 481 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: all religious people, right, We're we're supposed to have read 482 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: these texts and learned these lessons, right, And if you 483 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: read the Bible or the Torah or the quota on 484 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: God is never on the side of the oppressor. In fact, 485 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: a lot of these are basically instructions on how to 486 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: resist oppression and fight fascism. Right. Jesus was the socialist, right, 487 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: and so these kinds of conflicts are ancient, right, The 488 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: one like we've been kind of fighting as humans against 489 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: the oppressor for as long as they've been humans. And 490 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's really interesting that you brought that 491 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: to Ferguson, because I was I was there as a 492 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: journalist and I saw a lot of people waving Palestinian flags, 493 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: are wearing the Palestinian cafe is the scars, the black 494 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: and white patterns scars, and this is something you see 495 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: at any uprising in America and any of these revolutionary stuff. 496 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: And so what I think is really interesting is thinking 497 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: of the Palestinian Israeli conflict, thinking about that conflict, but 498 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: also looking at the lessons from like Jesus Christ and 499 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: like what Jesus would have done if he was there, 500 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: or looking at Mohammad the Islamic prophet and like what 501 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: he would have done if he was there, or even 502 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: thinking about like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King or Gandhi. 503 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, we have all of these examples that we 504 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: want to uphold and and think of and and and 505 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: idolize and create statues for, but we don't think of 506 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: what they would do in these contexts. We still see 507 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: so many people who are religious taking the side of 508 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: the oppressor. And there's this really fantastic quote from from 509 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: Malcolm X that I always see floating around. If you're 510 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people 511 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: who are being oppressed and loving the people who are 512 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: doing the oppressive. And I think that is incredibly valuable 513 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: in a time like this, where we do live in 514 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: a society where we aren't just neutral in America, we 515 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: are participating in the oppression of the Palestinians, and so 516 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: we need to be very careful, very careful about what 517 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: we're reading, what people around us are reading, so we 518 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: don't fall into the trappings, you know, not falling for 519 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: the lie that this is an equal fight, this is 520 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: just a conflict, and that throwing stones is the same 521 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: as leavening, you know, a civilian residential building. People fam 522 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: fanboy out about fan girl out about Hunger Games, like 523 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: they'll they'll watch the Hunger Games and then go out 524 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: and root for the capital like that. I feel like 525 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: that's America. But that's but that's like the genius of 526 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: that media too, you know what I mean, completely fox 527 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: up your perception of what it is and where your 528 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: places and it and it's and it's touching too, because 529 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, there were mural there was there was George 530 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: Floyd icnography in Gaza, you know, like because to your point, 531 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: there there is a level of solidarity that we see 532 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: with each other's struggles. But you'd hope that again, like 533 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: this this is what this becomes really funny because you 534 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: have all these brands right that we're so in on 535 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: this ship in the summer, they're like, yeah, I mean 536 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: the fucking racial injustices and fucking crickets right now when 537 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: you're watching some ship like this go down, and not 538 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: to say like, well, this has nothing to do with 539 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: the United States, it does. We're giving them how many 540 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: billions of dollars every years? Yeah, and what I'm sorry, 541 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: We're giving them three point eight billion dollars. But then 542 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: we're over here being like, oh man, we're gonna means 543 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: test your fucking welfare checks because you know, we're not 544 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: we're not really in the business of like helping people 545 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: if you if you found out we're actually it's more 546 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: it's more financially suitable for us to be in the 547 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: oppression game, which makes sense because there's a lot of 548 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: money to be made there, you know. And I think 549 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: that's what hurts so idly about seeing Andrew Yang saying 550 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: that he was taken the side of the Israelis on 551 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Twitter because you know, as a as a minority in America, 552 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: as a hyphenative American, I expect other hyphenative Americans to 553 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: understand that we are all in the same fight, and 554 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: that when we fight for each other's freedom, we're fighting 555 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: for our own freedom. And you know, that's why you 556 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: saw so many non Asians post about like stopping Asian 557 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: hate and showing up to their rallies, because we know 558 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: that our fates are intertwined. And so does see Andrew 559 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: yank saying that he's in solidarity with the israelis Is. 560 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: It was painful. It hurts way more than seeing like 561 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: Tied Cruise or or Ben Shapiro taking that side, because 562 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: you you expect that out of them. They don't understand 563 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: and they're unwilling to understand. But somebody who is supposed 564 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: to have, just just like you said, been fighting and 565 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: making noise about the oppression of a black body people, 566 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: you expect him to understand that this is the same 567 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: battle at this point and think that's where you know, unfortunately, 568 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: the political dimensions of that is what's factoring into people's 569 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: calculus and where to extend their empathy rather than just 570 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: being playing it like a human and saying, oh this 571 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: isn't yeah, like just just seeing it for what it 572 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: is and like, no, I can't the dudes and with 573 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: all the heavy met gear and ship, I'm aside with them, 574 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: like m hm. And you know, somebody was trying to 575 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: make the point that we expect that the Arab governments 576 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: to to make the most noise about this, and but 577 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: they've been like totally silent and in a lot of 578 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: cases have taken the side of his room. And you know, 579 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: they're in a lot of ways. It makes sense for 580 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: that because these are oppressive regimes, dictatorships, presidents for life, 581 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: who are you know, constantly trying to pacify their own 582 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: communities in their own countries. And so as an Arab, 583 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't expect Saudi Arabia, of all people, who are 584 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: one of the most prestive regimes on the planet, to 585 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: take that that position because they won't understand, they don't 586 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: know what it's like to be fighting for your survival 587 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: in the same way that the Palestinians are today. But 588 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: what I do find really interesting is that the country 589 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: whose leaders are making the most noise right now is Ireland, 590 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, and that makes perfect sense because of what 591 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: they've been through to get their own right to self 592 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: governed from the English. So yeah, it's so obvious to 593 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: me that it's all the same fight. But I'm really 594 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: happy to see that most people are starting to realize that. 595 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: It also starts to make sense of the U. S 596 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: Foreign policy of upholding these dictators, always having a dictator 597 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: in place in these countries, Like if there's a democratic uprising, 598 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: they'll they'll put it down, even though they're supposed to 599 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: be pro democracy, they'll put that down in favor of, 600 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, an authoritarian because the actually like that's that's 601 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: who they need to to be on their side, is 602 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: just the people in power, and it needs to be 603 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: people who are completely insulated from from the concerns of 604 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: people that you know, of the actual people of their 605 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: country and just be you know, all about oppressors and 606 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: and the struggle of the oppressor as opposed to the 607 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: struggle of the people who they're even i mean, even 608 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: like the things that you hear about like Zionism and 609 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: manifest destiny, right, this idea that it's like, no, this 610 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: is our ship, honestly, and if like people are in 611 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: the way, like then sorry, you know, like the way 612 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: Barri Weiss was talking about trying to somehow acknowledge that 613 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: children were dying, but then use the rationalization that, well, 614 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: this is part of the actualization of like the dream 615 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: of Zionism becoming a reality, that that's a byproduct of that. 616 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: And you just look at our own history in this 617 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: country to the amount of indigenous people that were just 618 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: completely there's a genocide. We're kick people off of their 619 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: land and making way for these other people coming because yeah, 620 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, God told us this is our ship. Now 621 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna move. She called it unavoidable. The death of 622 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: children was unavoidable in ad and so it's amazing that 623 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: she doesn't take the next step and go, well, that's 624 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: that makes Zionism incompatible with civilization then, you know, right, 625 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: or what religion says, Hey, the death of children is inevitable, 626 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: y'all for us to get our to get get the bag. Like, no, 627 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: those things don't work together. Do you think there is 628 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: some like lie that's like they they've told themselves, or 629 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: do you think they're just ultimately like, no, I'm I 630 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: deserve to exist and people who I'm who are of 631 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: my ethnicity deserve to exist and other people don't. Or 632 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: do you think there's like some way that they've Like 633 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm always curious about that, Like someone like Barrie Waste like, 634 00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: is does she know that she's straight up treating people 635 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: like they don't deserve to exist because of their race 636 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: and religion. Yeah, there's a couple of lives. There's there's 637 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: a there's a lot of lives, actually, but I think 638 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: there's a few that stand out to me is maybe 639 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: the most significant. The first one I would say is 640 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: that Palestinian children are taught at a young age to 641 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: hate Jewish people. You know, I don't think anyone thinks 642 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: that that it's necessary for Palestinian children to be to 643 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: learn to hate the I d F by anyone other 644 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: than the I d F. You know, you can't expect 645 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: kids who are growing up in actual modern day ghettos. 646 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: Gaza is often called the largest open air prison. You 647 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: don't expect kids who are growing up in that prison 648 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: to love the prison guards, you know. And so I 649 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: think there's this um, this lie that someone like Barry 650 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: would tell herself, like, well, if only they're those kids, 651 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: as parents would stop teaching them to hate Israelis, that 652 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: they would come around in the violence would up. It's 653 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: like no that she she won't admit to herself that 654 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: the violence now is a result of Israeli conquest. You know. Um. 655 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: Another lie that I think plays a really huge role 656 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: here is that there is that this is like in 657 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: a continuation of four thousand year old story, right, that 658 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: this is somehow if you look at what happened to 659 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: the Jewish populations four thousand years ago, that you understand 660 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: why they're they're so violent right now because they see 661 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: the violence right now is justified because of what their 662 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: ancestors have been going through. And you're right, you know, 663 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: if you if you look at it from four thousand 664 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: years ago and you look at how is really Jewish 665 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 1: people have been NonStop like oppressed everywhere that they go. Sure, 666 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: like you can understand why they're so desperate for their 667 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: own state, But at the same time, like who are 668 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: you carrying the violence out against? Because the people who 669 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: are they carring who the people who are dying right 670 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: and are not your oppressors. They can't be your oppressors 671 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: because they don't have any means to oppress you. The third, 672 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: the third lie I think is really important. This idea 673 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: that if Palestinians put down their arms, there would be peace, 674 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: but if the Israelis put down their arms, there would 675 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: be no more Israel. This is the justification for the 676 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: two state solution, and that Palestinians and Israelis at a 677 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: fundamental level are incompatible and could never live in peace 678 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 1: because of the ways that Palestinians are anti Semitic. That's 679 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: the lie. The truth is, before the creation of Israel, 680 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: they were Jewish Arabs living all across the Arab world, 681 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 1: all right. And there's also the the idea that if 682 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: like Palestinians don't didn't use their arms, that there would 683 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: be peace. I think the neighborhood where the evictions were 684 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: happening and that sort of like sparked this last round 685 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: of violence is you know, very significant in the fact 686 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: that they've been experimenting with non violent resistance and that 687 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: they have been trying to go to the courts and 688 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: prove that the homes that they live in have been 689 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: longtime residencies for generations. But the documents that they have 690 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: are invalid in the Israeli courts because the Israeli courts 691 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: have made them invalid right, and and they have like 692 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: these non violent protests where they attain themselves to their buildings. 693 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: They try and like organized, and they have both Jewish 694 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: Israelis and Arab Israelis come together to to try and 695 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: resist the bulldozers who are coming in to clear these 696 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: homes to make ways for settlements. And they don't work. 697 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: They don't work. These people are still being ethnically cleansed. 698 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: So if the non violence resistance doesn't work, how can 699 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: you justify saying that if only they stopped the violence, 700 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: we could have peace. Because you know, there are Palestinians 701 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: who have stopped the violence in the West Bank, and 702 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: they don't have peace. In fact, they're they're losing ground, 703 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: and they are the ones who are facing an existential threat. 704 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,959 Speaker 1: If the trends continue, if the settlements continue to get built, 705 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: there will not be anymore West Bank. East Jerusalem will 706 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: not will no longer have its ancients like Arab Muslim character. 707 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: So it's it's insane. It's insane that they would believe 708 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: that if only they would experiment with non violence, will 709 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: look at proof proof that it doesn't. Again, That's why 710 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's the same thing marginalized people, especially black people, 711 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: will go through in this country too, which is essentially 712 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: this idea that there's no acknowledgement that the status quo 713 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: as it is is the violence to begin with. Two, 714 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: it's just more like we would see there on the 715 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: streets if they just didn't do that, or if they 716 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: just stopped resisting. No, no, no, you're failing to acknowledge 717 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: the environment that that has been created because of this 718 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: systemic oppression. And if you can't acknowledge that, then it's 719 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: a disingenuous conversation about how to get to an end 720 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: point if you can't even see that this environment is 721 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: violence itself, and yeah, you just hope that that's this 722 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: is can reach a tipping point. I mean, you know, 723 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: used to be like five years ago, if you had 724 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: something to say about Israel like that, you you were 725 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: just pant categorically. And now it seems more and more 726 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: I think people as they educate themselves or just see 727 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: things for as they are, and I think probably get 728 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: in touch with the the all the different forms of 729 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: oppression people experience, are saying, oh, yeah, this is not good. 730 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, things things do feel different this time, don't they. 731 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean we had CNN interviewing UH Palestinians in Palestine 732 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: getting their perspective, and that's something I've never seen before. Right. 733 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: We usually get like the Israeli ambassador or in Israeli 734 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: pr rep to argue the targeting points and that's it. 735 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,439 Speaker 1: We we never hear from UH like resident and seeing 736 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: an Adam on for like ten minutes. And I do 737 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: think to prove what you're saying about these this all 738 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 1: being the same fight. I think this is a result 739 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: of the work that Black Lives Matter activists have been 740 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: putting in all summer and last time. So you know, 741 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: it's come undeniable from a marketing standpoint that if you 742 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,439 Speaker 1: are in the news business and you aren't talking about 743 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: these perspectives, you aren't reputable anymore. And I think that's 744 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: something that's changed in the past couple of years. And 745 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: that's why I think outlets like MSNBC or CNN, who 746 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: have never talked to these people are starting to. It's amazing, right, 747 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: And yeah, you have like people like Aimen Mohil Dean 748 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: who's like also actually during the time he has the 749 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: news desk, he's like, i'most spit it from the Palestinian side, y'all. 750 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: Just so you know, Meddi Hassan is also doing that. 751 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: So it's interesting that these people have been elevated into 752 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: the mainstream media and now actually being like I'll talk 753 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 1: some real ship for a second, and they're and they're 754 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: keeping their jobs. It's amazing, Yeah, exactly. And but it's incremental. 755 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think, like we're saying, like we're I 756 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: think a lot of people now are as they get 757 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: more aware of what history is and what oppression is, 758 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: it's harder to just do these like really disingenuous pivots 759 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: and and like you know, manipulative news coverage to completely 760 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: obscure what's happening. We're not out of the woods yet, 761 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: but it's it's changing. Yeah, I think we're I mean, 762 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was on Mike, but we 763 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: were talking about Colbert earlier talking about how progressive Biden 764 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: is as he's like putting out all this fucking pros 765 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: Raeli bullshit. Like I think the mainstream is still way behind, 766 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: but it does see him, like, you know, hopefully we're 767 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. Yeah, I mean, I'm curious, 768 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: see was Nike gonna come out? Yeah, you know what 769 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean like that's and and not just the habbib 770 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: sbs dunks that came out, you know what I mean, 771 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: like something real, And I think that's what that'll be 772 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: a real turning point is when like like brands enter 773 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: this because there was one thing for them to be 774 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: quiet on, like the BLM stuff. But I'm curious if 775 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: that if we'll see the crossing of that rubicon. I 776 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: think I think that might be on the horizon because 777 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two of the 778 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: biggest soccer stars, are very pro Palestine, you know, And 779 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 1: there was this FIFA event planned where Barcelona FC was 780 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: was supposed to play a game in Israel proper, and 781 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: Messi came out and was like, I'm not doing that 782 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: because as a way to raise awareness to the fact 783 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: that Israel in a certain point basically shot Palestinian soccer 784 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: players in the legs so that they can never participate 785 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: in sports again. And if you're listening and that sounds unbelievable, 786 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: google it. It happened. They these soccer players were shot 787 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: in the legs and in the feet so that they 788 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: can never play sports again. And how could you support 789 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: a universal expression of sport like soccer, which is like 790 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: the religion in most countries in the world, and at 791 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: the same time create space to play soccer in a 792 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: place where they will shoot you in the legs if 793 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: you aren't the right ethnicity or the right religion, right, yeah, 794 00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: and I mean it definitely helps me have legs. Like 795 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: like Maradonna, I remember he was he famous, he was 796 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: like in my heart, I'm a Palestinian, you know, and 797 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: you have people like that too, like it it helps 798 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: soccer players or you know, athletes kind of get on 799 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: the right page. But yet it's it's definitely it's glacial, 800 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: it's like everything, but it's it's interesting to see sort 801 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: of like the traditional smoke screens and be less effective 802 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: than they normally are. It's interesting that athletes, i mean, 803 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: like the the shut up and dribble types, like what 804 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: want to shut them down extra hard because they are 805 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 1: people who don't come up through the typical like vetting 806 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: process of you know, mainstream journalists and mainstream entertainers and politicians, 807 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: and so they are people who get this huge influence 808 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: and their ideas haven't been vetted or even paid attention 809 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: to by by like the powers that be right, So 810 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: they're sometimes the only influential voices that can get out 811 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: there and say the thing that isn't a p moved 812 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: by you know, the the oppressors. Basically all right, let's 813 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Uh. 814 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: And I think the thing that's on all of our 815 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: minds by partisanship, whatever happened to just you know, Democrats 816 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: and Republicans being able to reach across the aisle. I mean, 817 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: that's what Jim Clyburn and Joe Manchin are asking right now. Yeah, 818 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look, Jim Clyburn, he's Look, he's one of 819 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: the most respected black members of Congress. You know his 820 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 1: You can't understate his influence as a member of Congress. 821 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean Joe Biden needed him to win South Carolina 822 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: during the prime Like, I mean, this is this is 823 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: what Jim Clyburn does. He's underrated, like huge force in 824 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: like the past year, like ship Man, that is what 825 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: that is the thing the folk rum that shifted. That 826 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: was like the day that people are like, oh, ship 827 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: maybe Biden is going to win this thing like big 828 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: South Carolina that was huge and you know all this 829 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: is say now he is speaking the language of the 830 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: liberal that won't fight for what is needed, and using 831 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: this will don't let the perfect be the enemy of 832 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: the good rhetoric to explain incremental reform because right now, look, 833 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: Biden wants to have his police reform bill on his 834 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: desk by May because George Floyd apparently was the only 835 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: black man to be killed by police, so he felt 836 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: that was like a significant day. And rather than actually 837 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: saying I want substantive reform rather than some kind of 838 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: big spectacular gesture on the anniversary of his killing, it's 839 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: it's it's turning this process into just well, funk. How 840 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: many Republicans can we get? And I just want to 841 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: play this this sound bite from Jim mcclaber, because it's 842 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: just it's really frustrating to hear from somebody who you 843 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: think understands what the stakes are when it comes to 844 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,280 Speaker 1: police reform. I'm never sacrifice good on the altar of perfect. 845 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: I just won't do that. I know what the person 846 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: could be well being. We have proposed that. I want 847 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: to see good legislation, and I know that sometimes you 848 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: have to compromise. But let me say this, I have 849 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: been saying from the beginning, we have well trained police officers. 850 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: We've got to do a better job of recruiting police officers. Okay, 851 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 1: bad apples, bad apples, got it, got it? Got it's 852 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: bad apples. It's not the whole fucking tree is bad. 853 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: But anyway, Jim recruiting the way. The thing they were 854 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: talking about was qualified immunity because that's something the Senate 855 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: is stalling on. They don't want the qualified immunity to 856 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 1: be abolished, okay, because that is the practice that protects 857 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: police from being sued. And if that's off the table, 858 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: but then you're still giving the police carte blanche to 859 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: do whatever the funk they want. So how is that 860 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna do anything? So again, there's another frustrating moment recently. Well, 861 00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, Republicans are gonna do this, and we know 862 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: it's not perfect, but we need the good bill. And 863 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: that brings us to Joe Manchin, who again is now 864 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 1: saying he doesn't know about this voting rights bill if 865 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: he can support it because he wants bipartisan ship and 866 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 1: he wants Republicans to offer amendments to get this over 867 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: the line. You remember the Stimulus bill. They offered amendments 868 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: and didn't fucking vote for the thing they played, your 869 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: dumb asses, So now you're gonna let this ship happen 870 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: with voting rights. I mean Joe Manson, not that I 871 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: expect more from him, but again, this is why we 872 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: need to blow up the filibuster if it's gonna happen. 873 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: But if we're talking in the strict, narrow context of 874 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,839 Speaker 1: the legislative process, they're sucking up so bad and they're 875 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: completely seating ground to a group of people have no 876 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 1: interest in furthering anything. If the Republicans had their voting rights, 877 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: but it would be that nobody could vote except them, 878 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: right right, All right, let's uh, let's take a quick 879 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 1: look at our stupid future. So, like I said, Mad Max, 880 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think Mad Max is 881 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: our future. But I think we need to take that 882 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: just a couple of clicks stupider because at least Mad Max, 883 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, future desert pirates know what to store gas in. 884 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: Um they had to. So there there was this hack 885 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,800 Speaker 1: that froze up a fuel pipeline that led to a 886 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: gas shortage in the southeast of the United States, and 887 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: because that became a story, there was a run on 888 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: gas and like people were stocking up on gas, and 889 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: to the point the gas stations ran out of gas 890 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. I believe they started having to issue warnings 891 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: telling people not to pour gasoline into plastic bags. Yeah, 892 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 1: like if that happened in in mad Max like that, 893 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,879 Speaker 1: it was just like they wouldn't do that. At least 894 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,320 Speaker 1: they know how, like how gasoline works. I don't know. 895 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: I and I get that pipeline getting acted fucking freaky. Yeah, 896 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: like this ship really fucked up all that supply. But again, 897 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,240 Speaker 1: it's just like the worst part of like American consumer culture, 898 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: which is like it's all fucking mind, get the funk away. Yeah, 899 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,840 Speaker 1: I need to fucking gas. It's like, okay, look, you 900 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: know this country will ruin a fucking whole third of 901 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: the earth to get some gas, So I think you 902 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: could relax that the gas I don't know, if you've 903 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: seen the history of this place. The gas will flow. 904 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: But it's not that there's even a guy who like 905 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,400 Speaker 1: accidentally think Blittest bluep his car to smoke a cigarette 906 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: near it because he's the whole fucking car was filled 907 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: with gas. Came he had a gas bindle stick over 908 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: his shoulder, just full of gas. Findle stick. It's just 909 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: a fucking hefty bag on the broomstick. I love how 910 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,479 Speaker 1: capitalist this whole thing is. Man, I mean these people 911 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: are probably thinking, Okay, the prices are about to sword. 912 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: Let me get my hands on this valuable resource and 913 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: sell if I need or just like hords, be moving weight, 914 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 1: moving moving ziplock bags of gas. Oh my god, like 915 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 1: what you need? You need like a like a court, 916 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 1: you need a court. So so in No, we have 917 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: this cornu called Broaden Market. And this is like where 918 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 1: all these people just like sell whatever is on their 919 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: little trolley cards. And for like this whole past year 920 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: after COVID, there's people selling you know, hand sanitizer in 921 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:27,879 Speaker 1: the ziplock bags, like massive amounts of like hand sanitizer 922 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: and ziplock bags. And then aw, I'm like wondering if 923 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: I need some gas, if I could just go there 924 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: and get something, right, if they go for you, I 925 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 1: prefer my hand sanitizer to be artisan and thatches handmade, 926 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 1: homemade bang birthen clay pot. Yeah. I mean this is 927 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: just like it's not just the climate change that's gonna 928 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: kill us. I feel like there's gonna be a lot 929 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: of people you know you do see this in the 930 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: post apocalyptic movies that it's also rsp these inability to 931 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: think critically in the face of, in this case, discomfort 932 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 1: and fear. So there's a second storyline that I feel 933 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: like kinda ties in with this, and that is how 934 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: we're trying to get people to vaccinate themselves from the 935 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 1: global pandemic that we're still living through. We are make 936 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: it sexier for me just be that I'm gonna be 937 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: safe and inoculated from the virus. What else though, So 938 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: there's the lottery, which I don't I'm not. I'm not 939 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: mad at you. There I think six people in Ohio 940 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,920 Speaker 1: who got the vaccine. You don't even need to do 941 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 1: an extra sign up thing. It's just one of the 942 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: people who got vaccinated is going to get their name, 943 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: is gonna get pulled from a hat and they're gonna 944 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 1: get a million dollars. There's another state that's just paying 945 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: you a hundred dollars. There's a county in just pay 946 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: They're like, all right, here's your here's your c note. 947 00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And Lodi uh is giving people like fifty 948 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 1: dollar or maybe it's just twenty five dollars.

Um. 951 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: My favorite though, is, uh the shake Shack Mayor do 952 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: Blasio New York City agreement where they have teamed up 953 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: to make it so that you get free crinkled cut 954 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: fries if you go to one of the participating ones. 955 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: It's not all shake shacks in New York City in Manhattan.

But if you had a class 982 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 1: action lawsuit, like for Americans against the Trump administration's bungling 983 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: of the COVID response, I feel like you could get 984 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,720 Speaker 1: a million dollars for a lot of people, like just legally, 985 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: like if if there were was a just judicial system, 986 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: I guess, but I mean, like they you know, those 987 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: people deserve their million dollars, but it's just that many, 988 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: many more people deserve it, and it shouldn't just be 989 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 1: the lottery version or some stupid person who's they're going 990 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 1: to be rewarded for being a hold out. I mean, 991 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 1: now I'm in my like boomer fucking student debt cancelation bad. 992 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure I didn't do no promise of a million dollars. 993 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they're just doing it to people who's 994 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 1: who sign up now. I don't think. Maybe I'm okay, 995 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 1: like if if you have been then you're eligible in 996 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 1: me either way. I think just this, it's so it's 997 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 1: weird that it's like we're using people's greed to motivate 998 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: them to act collectively, like what's better for the great 999 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: common good? It's just it's American. Baby. There was this 1000 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: doctor in New York who was just going table to 1001 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: table at a brewery asking them if they wanted to 1002 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: get a vaccine shot, and if they said yeah, she 1003 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: would get them a free beer. I think that's hilarious. 1004 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 1: Like did she have the vaccines in her bag? She 1005 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 1: had them on her and she said, yore, I'll give 1006 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: you a free beer. You can you can get this 1007 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,879 Speaker 1: free beer and let me just let me just poke 1008 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: you with this needle. Yeah. He managed, like, Hey, what 1009 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,480 Speaker 1: the fund did? I think? Hey, she's not a doctor. 1010 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 1: She's not a fucking doctor. Everyone. She was like the 1011 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,800 Speaker 1: health commissioner. I think that day she said that she 1012 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 1: vaccinated over a hundred people and fine, you know, beer 1013 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: is fine. She put the numbers up. She put the 1014 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: numbers up. You can't argue against that. Yeah, push your 1015 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 1: t you got numbers on the board. She put the 1016 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: numbers on the board. That yeah. Yeah. So there's probably 1017 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: like seventy five alcoholics out there who have been vaccinated 1018 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 1: twice and they have no idea I don't remember, just 1019 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: rolling around behind like putting out their other arm. Three 1020 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: band aids on this arm. First one you got you 1021 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: gotta we got a weird wig on norm ah, you 1022 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: got me? Got me? Can I get the beer that? 1023 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: I'll still get the shot. I'll get any shot you want. Man, Hey, 1024 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: let's do a shot right now. You want to do 1025 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: a shot? Doctor, which one you wanna do? Yeager? You want? 1026 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: All right? And real quick. I want to talk about 1027 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 1: a new legend. There was cat lawyer, but we got 1028 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: a new legend in the game of fucking up. A 1029 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: zoom entrance, a zoom call. So this man showed up 1030 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: to a court date and apparently he didn't have the 1031 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: like self view set up in a zoom or just 1032 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: like didn't know how to use zoom. He looks like 1033 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: he's like in his twenties or thirties, Like, so it's 1034 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: kind of surprising that he's this bad technology, but we 1035 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: probably should just play the audio. He well, okay, but 1036 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 1: that what you're gonna hear is this judge reacting to 1037 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 1: the fact that this man's displayed name is butt fucker 1038 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: three thousand. And I will say this ahead of time. 1039 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: I don't think this was a mistake. He thought he 1040 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: was being fucking funny, and he says really ship yes, 1041 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: watch his space, especially when he's like, oh it's it, 1042 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 1: says hold, okay, we're gonna watch the clip and then 1043 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it on the other side. Good morning, sir. 1044 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: What's your name? Judges pissed silence from the twenty people 1045 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: in there.
