Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Cooley

Speaker 1: being here. Always nice to have you, Bridget, always great.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: What do you what is that a tonic to use

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: your nerves in in these relaxing times? It's a tonic.

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna pretend to say it was water or

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: like things are wild here in d C. Y. We

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: wanted to check on you. How what what is it

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: like in d C right now? Yeah, it's so thank

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: you for asking. Yesterday, I feel like I went through

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: this ins like incredible whirlwind of emotions. I stayed up

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: late to watch the runoffs, and so I went to bed.

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: You know when I when I woke up in the morning,

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: I was sing song happy. Like literally I woke up

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, good morning. I was so happy,

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: like it was I had I had never been like this.

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: I slept in this shirt that has a Shirley Chisholm

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: line on it because I was like black women in

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: political power are so happy. And then you know, as

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: the day went on, you know, I was very really

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: excited to watch the you know, the elector numbers come

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: in and and and watch the hearing, and I could

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean to say that I went from the like

27
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the the highest emotion, the fact that the happiest I

28
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: felt in a long time, to the lowest point. It's

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: like it happened so quickly, and so you know, also

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: being in d C, I think it I certainly was

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: not prepared for how quickly things escalated, just in terms

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: of the vibe of the city. Um, you know, we

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: got that you know when your iPhone makes that horrible

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: noise when exactly exactly exactly we got that noise that

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: was like there's a curfew in the city. Um yeah,

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: it just the day went from on top of the

37
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: world to what the fund is happening so quickly, and honestly,

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like I feel everybody's probably said a million times,

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I had never seen anything like it. It And especially

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: as someone who you know, I am a long time

41
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: activist and organizers, have gone to a million different political events, protests,

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: that kind of thing at the Capitol, that's the specific

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: thing that I think I was really having trouble processing

44
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: was just watching the way that these people were able

45
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: to overtake the folks at the Capitol, the police at

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: the Capitol. I have just never seen anything like it.

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: Like it was. It was so wildly out of step

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: with my experience, and I have been going to protest

49
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: there since I'm eleven years old, So it was just

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: a real kind of mind fuck, right, It's I think

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: that was just yeah, it's it's the most unsettling thing

52
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: when you're like, oh, wow, because I've arrently walked by

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: a federal building and been told, Hey, what the funk

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: are you doing here? And I'm like, oh, whoops, I'm

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: just trying to find the hersh horn, you know what

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm sorry, I just want to see some sculptures, um.

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: And to see these people just walk right in, I

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: think is what's unsettling. And that's that's where like you

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: can see where the power is and how it's seen

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: and viewed, and that's what's truly upsetting as well. Um.

61
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: And just to think of like all the you know,

62
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: the violence the Capitol police are capable of committing and

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: have committed in the past, and then suddenly it's welcome

64
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: to the Capitol of Milady. Let me help you down

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the stairs. And I was talking about this on the

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: episode that you know, people don't talk to people. I don't.

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: People don't really know that much about like what happened

68
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: in Miriam Carey. She she was shot twenty six times

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: to death by Capital police for making a fucking you

70
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: turn and she had her she had her baby in

71
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: the car. Like it's like, as as someone who was

72
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: born and raised in DC, the police out here don't don't,

73
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: don't play right it is, you know, look around and

74
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: find out territory exactly. And I think just watching I

75
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: was having almost like an out of body experience watching

76
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: this just but with those the experiences that I've had,

77
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: asked someone in d C with the police, and so

78
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: apparently the DC police are very or I shouldn't say

79
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: DC police because that's not their jurisdiction. The Capitol police

80
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: are very you know, good at using restraint when they

81
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: want to, apparently, And I think that shows like even

82
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: a myth about policing, right, Like what is this about?

83
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Is there really such thing as de escalation? It? Do

84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: people need to be trained about there? Maybe on their

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: biases that they're not aware of, because it looks very

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: clear that people knew how to restrain themselves very easily

87
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: given the context. Um. And yeah, I mean that's why,

88
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: just like this whole thing resonates in so many dimensions

89
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: at once that it's really unnerving because you could be

90
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: looking at it from any lens of experience and there's

91
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: probably something deeply unsettling for you to see this all happen. Um.

92
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm just I'm glad you're safe. And you know,

93
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I was checking on people who I know on DC, like, yeah,

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: the the the energy is what I think a lot

95
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: of people are really feeling out there. It's just something.

96
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: It's just very different. It is very different. And I

97
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: think also the idea, like you know, I was about

98
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: two miles away from the capital, so you know, pretty removed, um,

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: two or three miles and Columbia Heights, so pretty removed.

100
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: But Nope, like seeing the videos of these assholes in

101
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the lobby of our hotels, at our restaurants, I couldn't

102
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: stop thinking about all of the different essential workers throughout

103
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: the city who were forced to serve these people, knowing

104
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: that they came into the city to cause this kind

105
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: of chaos. That was what was really breaking my heart.

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: And so I'm very privileged and very lucky that i

107
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: have the kind of life where when the curfew order

108
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: came down, I'm I'm safe in my apartment, and like,

109
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's my situation. But all I can think

110
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: about was people who are essential workers. They shut down

111
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the public transportation, the metro at eight o'clock, So how

112
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: are they getting home? They got to take an uber

113
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: out of their own pocket? Like how does that work?

114
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: You know? All I could think about people in d C.

115
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: We are hanging on by a thread as it is.

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: All I could think about was the people who aren't

117
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: as privileged as I am, who don't have the the

118
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: ability to just like stay in their house when this

119
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of stuff pop. Saw who their livelihoods are being affected? Right,

120
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Like d c DC Public Help put out a statement

121
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: about how the people who had their appointments to get

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine, all those appointments were canceled, right, and

123
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: so because of because of these maga people coming into

124
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: the city. Like people need to remember that just because

125
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: d C is or the federal government is, it's also

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: where people live their lives, raise their families, completely unconnected

127
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: to the government, and so people live here. We may

128
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: not be a state, but people live here. And I

129
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: think people forget when they get so upset with what's

130
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: going on in government that it impacts real people's lives.

131
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: People who have who had appointments to get the vaccine

132
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: weren't able to get that vaccine right, People who who

133
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: probably don't have a ton of of wiggle room with

134
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: their finances already have to figure out a way to

135
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: get home because the metro closed early. This is not

136
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is people's real lives. Oh man, it's

137
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Ah. I've heard some people talk

138
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: about how this could maybe let a spark for DC

139
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: statehood or at least, you know, start that conversation. But

140
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think the thing that's wrong is right

141
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: they look at the fact that DC black that might

142
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: have a reason why there's no representation in Congress because

143
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: to blue seat right there bottom that's too sanatory. That's

144
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: that's everything, um And that's like another layer that's compounding

145
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: all of this too, where you think, how the fund

146
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: could they do that, and like how does this place

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: that's the seat of government have no representation in Congress either.

148
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: It's so it just fux your head and then you

149
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: think of like, well, who lives in d C. And

150
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: then what does that mean for the for the people

151
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: that could make it a state? And what does that

152
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: mean for senatorial math and and ensuring minority rule and

153
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: things like that. It's all, um, yeah, it's it's very unsettling,

154
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: is like the only it's a very easy word for

155
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: me to use, because I think I used a thousand

156
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: other ones. No, absolutely, and I think people need to

157
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: remember that while all of this stuff is going on

158
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: in our community, we don't even have any kind of

159
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: congressional representation. We have that one Holmes Norton, but she

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: doesn't getna vote, right, So this is all happening as

161
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: democracy supposed to be unfolding in our backyards. We don't

162
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: even get a say, you know, d see statehood? I'm

163
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: very biased because I'm born and raised in d C.

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: But do you see statehood? I think is one of

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: the biggest civil rights and racial justice issues of our time.

166
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: But I firmly, firmly believe that it is an issue

167
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: that we will see resolved in our lifetime. I believe

168
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: that I will see d C be a state in

169
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: my lifetime. I have hope. I believe it. We're closer

170
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: than we've ever been before, especially now exactly and all

171
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the misques and like the they're like, I'm sorry, what happened?

172
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: What is going on? And a huge argument would be, yeah,

173
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: that had statehood, a lot of other options would have

174
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: been available. Yesterday, well, people were trying to overthrow the

175
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: government because the racist stand up comedian they like was

176
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: getting fired from his job. The US had its deadliest

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: day yet of coronavirus um, which is something that I

178
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: hadn't even really noticed until after I managed to escape

179
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: from my doom scrolling uh cocoon of just you know,

180
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: mainlining the news and about the Capitol and uh waiting

181
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: for somebody to kick this motherfucker out of office? Um

182
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: in vain, what's happened? Now? They have there are articles

183
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: of impeachment now, that's supposedly the latest that Nancy Pelosi

184
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: said if they don't do the if Pence doesn't step up,

185
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: then she's going to draft up articles of impeachment. But okay,

186
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Natthy PELUSO, let's see you do it, oh Man tweet

187
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: yesterday outside, Um, yeah you guys can hear all about

188
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: it on tomorrow or check my time. People can just

189
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: enjoy that made me laugh yesterday the one thing I

190
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: could bring myself out of the depths with. Um. Rush

191
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Limbaugh's name is also trending. I feel like there's a

192
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: consensus in the mainstream media that yesterday was some sort

193
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: of breaking point. And now like just the way that

194
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: people are even the tents people are using, the way,

195
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the way people are saying, like how the right wing

196
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: media figures brought Trump into or bought into Trump's lies.

197
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: And there was a CNN analyst who was saying that

198
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Fox News like contributed the tinder and Trump just lit

199
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: it like it's past tense stuff, almost as if they

200
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: think that this was some high water mark of fascism

201
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: and you know, it's all just gonna recede back from

202
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: our shores. But um, I think people need to under

203
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Like Rush Limbaugh's show today, he was saying that, you know,

204
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: he was saying that the protests over the summer were

205
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: anarchists using the Black Lives Matter movement as a guy is,

206
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: and yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people This is a

207
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: direct quote Americans who have gotten tired of being ignored

208
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: and lied about and smeared his racist by these very

209
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Democrats Americans who have gotten fed up with having the

210
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: election stolen from them by Democrats, including the White House.

211
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Now they think two more Senate seats have been stolen,

212
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: and they thought they were going to be stolen even

213
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: before the election. And then he claimed that Republicans do

214
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: not know how to protest or loot. Uh, he said,

215
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: But a tiny minority of these protesters and undoubtedly including

216
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: some anti food Democrats sponsored instigators, did decide to go

217
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: to the capital to protest the People's House, by the way.

218
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: So I just I think this is this is just

219
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the beginning, and it needs to be treated that way

220
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: by the mainstream media. This like that's how their spokespeople

221
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: are treating it, like this is just the beginning. Tucker

222
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: Carlson was talking about how the interaction at the Capitol

223
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: was going to cause people uh to lose rights like

224
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: that was He's already focused on, you know, turning this

225
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: into part of a you know, ideological battle as opposed

226
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: to just generally uh, you know, people who are uh

227
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: enacting violence on behalf of a white supremacist ideology. But

228
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: it is affecting their rights. You know, they're right to

229
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: profit off of lies on YouTube, because YouTube was just like, oh,

230
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: if you're saying that dumb ship, well do you know

231
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: you can't make money anymore. And the way the conservatives

232
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: talking like you see, freedom of speech is gone, it's like, motherfucker.

233
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: It's it's the same as private property. This is not

234
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: this is not Twitter dot gov. It's not the people's Twitter.

235
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: It's a private fund company. You agree to terms and

236
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: services much in the same way you're like, well, if

237
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: a cake maker doesn't want to make a cake for

238
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: a cake couple, they don't have to, So guess what

239
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: each ship and get the funk out. And that's what

240
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: it is. If you want to fucking talk your racist ship,

241
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: then go do stand up somewhere where all you are

242
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: bend up being anyway. It's like I don't even know, like, yeah,

243
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you completely, and I don't want to go

244
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: off like two inside baseball. But in my day job,

245
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: my my day job is really focused around disinformation and

246
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: misinformation and the misuse of social media platforms, and all

247
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: these people can just get fucked. It's like it is you, like,

248
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: you do not have license to incite violence and spread

249
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: disinformation and so like foment this kind of violent reaction

250
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: just with with no consequences, right, And I to be

251
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: super clear, I think that platforms up until this point

252
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: have pretty much done nothing, and everything they have done

253
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: has been because they've been like pressured and pushed and

254
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: controlled and forced. And so the fact that you know,

255
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Twitter took down Trump's two horrible tweets and they're banning

256
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: them for twelve hours today, Facebook said that they're there,

257
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, banning, banning Trump for and you know, until

258
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: the end of the until the end of his presidency.

259
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: These are the very least they can do. And in

260
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: my book, way too little, too late, right, you know,

261
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: you've had so long YouTube everybody, it is not it

262
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: is not news that people are radicalized and pushed to

263
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: this kind of violent extremist behavior because of YouTube, YouTube's algorithms, right, Like,

264
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: this is not news. YouTube knows this. And so to

265
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: now act like, you know, like, oh my god, like

266
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: how did we get to this place? Y'all knowe how

267
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: we got here? People have been you've known, you've known,

268
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: and so exactly exactly exactly, you know, I think it's

269
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: been hard for me to watch all of these people

270
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: and organizations and platforms that have so much power now

271
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: kind of pretend to be like, oh, like, oh gee,

272
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: who would have ever thought or we didn't know it

273
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: was this bad? Like you knew, you knew, and so

274
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: at this I really want to have a reckoning of

275
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, what wasn't done, what was allowed to fester,

276
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: and what was allowed to grow and mustachimustaticize I'm probably

277
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: saying that wrong, um, you know, in order to get worse,

278
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: to get us to this moment. Yeah, m hmm. I

279
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: it's it's truly, it's truly remarkable how quickly they want

280
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: to pat themselves on the back and feign ignorance around

281
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing when every bit of analysis points to

282
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: how influential and powerful the platforms are, especially when they're

283
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: not regulated. But you know, because we have like we have,

284
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: whether it's white supremacy or greed, certain people just don't

285
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: give a fuck if it's if it's in service of one,

286
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's both at the same time. But like

287
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: you look at these companies are like, well, I mean

288
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: the money is flowing when we do these ads for

289
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: these white supremacists by and we fucking love it, and

290
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: then these other people that ship has just led to.

291
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, well, sure the Ledgers look better, but the

292
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: streets are get bloodier and there's not a connect. And

293
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: I guess the only like I think we're saying on

294
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode two, it's funny how they get their shipped

295
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: together the day it's cemented that Democrats are controlling everything.

296
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: Whoa even I mean, we know just that back during

297
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: the election, there was like, yeah, when when like suddenly

298
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Trump had like a real bad day in the polls,

299
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: like his polls just started falling through, and that was

300
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: when Facebook got tough like that day. Basically, it's all

301
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: just a play. It's all strategy. But yeah, I mean

302
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: when greed and white supremacy meet, white supremacy still wins out.

303
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: Just look at like the Sony Hack emails, like the

304
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: they actively make racist decisions that will lose them money.

305
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: They will actively choose against a Denzel Washington project because

306
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: of like some racist bullshit that they uh internalized somewhere

307
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: earlier in their career. Like it's yeah, that's that's this

308
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: is America. And I mean even not to even limited

309
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: to d C, like this should has been happening in

310
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: state capitals and city halls around the around the country.

311
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: I mean in l A, it was disgusting what was

312
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: happening in downtown l A. Like just straight up assaulting

313
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: people women of color, just we're walking through who'd you

314
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: vote for? Amazing them ship And meanwhile, you know, not

315
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: like a fucking Michael Moore is going to do shit

316
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: about it in l A. But like, this has been

317
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: happening all over and it's not just one thing, Like

318
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: this is a across the board issue. It's these These

319
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: people are your neighbors. They're the same people who you're like,

320
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: well that person sold me a car. I can't that

321
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: they weren't racist to me. Well yeah, they were making

322
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: money that time. Because cut to that same guy from

323
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: West Covina, Toyota holding this woman back while people can

324
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: bear mace her. You know what I mean? We I

325
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: don't know, you know. I try and be very aware

326
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: of when people are saying to me and what their

327
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: values are that they are transmitting out loud, and you

328
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: use that to filter good and bad out. But I

329
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: really like people really need to be on alert to

330
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: understand who is you know. Uh, Unfortunately, in a completely

331
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: fucked mindset um and has been completely their naivete has

332
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: been just you know, uh exploited for other people's aims,

333
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: and it's just whatever, what are we gonna do? What?

334
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I feel that if anything, this whole

335
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: thing has has forced some people have sort of opened

336
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: their eyes. You know. I saw that image that you're

337
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: talking about of a of a young black woman who

338
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: apparently was just like walking down the street in l

339
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: a And was accosted and sprayed in the face with

340
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: with mace, and you know, there's just there's something about

341
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: it seeing a picture of a black woman being assaulted

342
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: if it broke my heart, Like it was hard to see.

343
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: It was something about that something about that image really

344
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: wrote me, especially when she's being restrained like that, yes,

345
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: but like the guy has her her arms and if

346
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: you're going, yeah, like like a huge trigger warning for

347
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: this picture, her arms are like pinned behind her back,

348
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: you know. And what's hard for me is that there's

349
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: another woman of color in the audience cheering him on.

350
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: And there's something about that image that just really represents

351
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: the kind of chaos and breakdown that I feel that

352
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: we are in where it's just like they've lost touch

353
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: with their essential connection to humanity exactly, you know what

354
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean. And that's the biggest difference, because all we've

355
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: seen is that these people are undisturbed by massive body counts,

356
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: they're undisturbed by murder of unarmed people. They're just they

357
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: don't care. Their their endgame is just like I don't

358
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: know what we want. Don't cancel the Trump Show, um,

359
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: and that's all it's for. And it's it's really just

360
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: gob smacking to see that and say, holy sh it,

361
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: like they completely managed to put them on some software

362
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: operating system where these are not people anymore. These are

363
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: punching bags and mace maceable targets and ship and possibly

364
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: murder victims. Uh, because we're I've I've ingested a diet

365
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: where you are some communist or whatever word they want

366
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: to use without understanding what it means. Just say you're

367
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: you're you're a lib, You're not you're not maga, So

368
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna suck you up. That is exactly right, And

369
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean that is what we know about how disinformation

370
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: and misinformation works. It collapses who we are into these

371
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: like into these two dimensional caricatures, right, and so you're

372
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: not a black woman who has a family, who loves

373
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: her kids, who you know is a human being, who

374
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: is a person. You are a socialist, you are Antifa,

375
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: you are a libtard, whatever, right like it. Disinformation is

376
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: fueled by making people believe, like deep down belief, the

377
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: worst about each other, the worst about other people in

378
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: our communities. And you know, it is sad to me

379
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: to see what people become when they are fed a

380
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: steady diet of this. And to be clear, like anybody

381
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: can be susceptible, like it is not. It's easy to

382
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: think like all these are stupid people whatever whatever. But

383
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think I would I would appealing to

384
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: bet that if people out there listening really thought deep,

385
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: it could be your dad, It could be your mom,

386
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: It could be your uncle. Like, really, think about who

387
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: in your community is susceptible too when they are fed

388
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: a steady stream telling them to be be afraid of

389
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: your of your neighbor, be afraid of your community, be

390
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: afraid of people who are different from you who might

391
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: be susceptible to that. I think you will be surprised.

392
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: It's not just stupid undesirable people who are other. It

393
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: could be like in your house. It could be somebody

394
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: in your home right now, people you went to school with,

395
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about all the time. I mean

396
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: I think many people have seen a lot of friends

397
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: and family, colleagues, whatever, uh pig just that far right

398
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: turn um out of nowhere and you're like what you're like,

399
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: but they're that's the Mexican homie, Like what and they're

400
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: trying to what the fuck and posting all this racist ship.

401
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Now this is fucked, like how? But I think all

402
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: kinds of people have different things that appeal to them,

403
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: or they have these insecurities or voids within them that

404
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: something about this ideology can help fill, whether that it's

405
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: an inferiority complex or feeling of community because you've been isolated.

406
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: But it's doing what movements like this do. That's why

407
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: it's just so massively important that I feel like people

408
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: of good conscience draw lines to what, like what we

409
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: are demanding of people in office to do, because I mean, yes,

410
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: there is a ton we can do as people as well,

411
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: but like without codified laws and things like that to

412
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: truly like create some kind of safeguard, there's there's I mean,

413
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: it's only going to get worse and but then at

414
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I find myself being like,

415
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: come on, y'all, the people who still have failed to

416
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: protect us forever. Maybe now I don't know, it's now

417
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: at the time, and maybe it could be because it's

418
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: like America, right, it takes a third degree burn for

419
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: them to realize that the stove is hot. It wasn't

420
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: enough when there was a sign that said the stove

421
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: is hot. It wasn't enough when your parents said the

422
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: stove is hot. It wasn't enough when you saw a

423
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: red hot fucking coil on the stove and you're like,

424
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: what is this? And now it's like the stove is

425
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: hot through something And I don't know, because now we

426
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: have people suddenly a lot of these politicians, especially white politicians,

427
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: are like, oh know, I normally like it would be

428
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: ship talking or something to deal with. I didn't realize

429
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: that like violence, could you could be confronted with violence

430
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: where many people that is a day to day reality,

431
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: not on its necessary that scale, but the the environment

432
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: in which you operate in is one of chaos and violence.

433
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: And now they're like they got a little taste that, like,

434
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: oh boy, dust off, I don't know, and it could

435
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: be for show. I don't know, but it was one

436
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: of those moments where it's like, God damn, they have

437
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: to fucking it has to pull up in front of

438
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: their face to figure it out. And that just makes

439
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: me so disheartened about That's why this death of black

440
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: and brown people continues. That's why we continue to funk

441
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: the earth up with all this, you know, the runaway

442
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: carbon emissions and lack of regulation in this country. That's

443
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: why people are falling by the wayside when it comes

444
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to health because they don't know. They don't know it,

445
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: and unless it's them experiencing it first, it's like Megan McCain,

446
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: which is like I was against paternity leave till I

447
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: needed it. It's like exactly. And that's why none of

448
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: y'all motherfucker's have any kind of right to be in

449
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: any not that making mccannon's politician, but any of these

450
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: people have the right to call the shots for what

451
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: everyone else's existence is. And I hope we can also

452
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: have a reckoning for what we call a representative and government.

453
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: Not the coolest person from my hometown, the richest motherfucker

454
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: from my part of my state, who's been there forever

455
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: and the last name is like the person my parents

456
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: voted for. It's about fucking it's about your life. It's

457
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: about are these people there to do a job, which

458
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: is create stability and create just equality across the board.

459
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: But other I mean, it's they're they're all all kinds

460
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: of ways to message that. But I really want people

461
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: to begin to see that some of these people over there,

462
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: that you're that a lot of people fawn over on

463
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: the internet eight ship because they're not doing ship even

464
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: when they know what the answer is. And how long

465
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: are you going to excuse that? Because they've been excusing

466
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: that ship for years while other people have been bearing

467
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: the brunt of that lack of action. Yeah, so funk

468
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: out of here with the incremental ship. Yeah. And like

469
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: people say, you know, this is not what America is.

470
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Like I would really love to retire that phrase. Yeah,

471
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: check out the Childish Gambino video. This is it? Like

472
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: if you have I saw somebody tweet you know, if

473
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: you have to say this is not who America is,

474
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: every couple of weeks, maybe this is who America is.

475
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, just so many people are just in

476
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: such have such heavy resistance to to accept what this

477
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: country is um and unfortunately, too many people have a

478
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: blind spot. White people, White Americans just have this intense

479
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: blind spot for white supremacy, intense blind spot and they

480
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: and as a concept, they may say it exists, but

481
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: there's no that that hasn't connected to the intellectual part

482
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: that says, this is a construct of white supremacy that

483
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: everyone's operating, and it's just it expresses itself at every

484
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: possible turn, at every opportunity, it expresses itself in somewhere

485
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: or another. And the more people can get to that part,

486
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: then we can say, yeah, man, the this room, this

487
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: house is messy as fuck. Let's go get the vacuums,

488
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: let's go get the mops, let's go get the fucking windex.

489
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: Because right now, only half two people like, yo, this

490
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: motherfucker's think in here, and other people they're unfortunately their

491
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: fucking whole face is made of there weren't a fabrize

492
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: face mask, and they're like, I don't know what you're

493
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: talking about. And some people are like, the mask is

494
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: the fabreeze is wearing out a little bit. They're like, oh, ship,

495
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: maybe it stinks, but we're still far from that tipping point.

496
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: We need to reach to really have a reckoning. And

497
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: that's all I can just encourage people to do is

498
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: try and get to that point. And even if you

499
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: listen to this show every day and you're like, I

500
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: get it, man, this is fucked up, really try and

501
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: understand that this is an issue that we are we

502
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: have to interact with constantly, and even if you know

503
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: it's funked up, you have to be able to say,

504
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: hold on, this is I I see this here we

505
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: actually for for us to create some kind of equity.

506
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: That's how you empower yourself in moments like this too.

507
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: You have opportunities to try and dismantle white supremacy in

508
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: some fashion or at least take away just knee cap

509
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: it a little bit for people around you in your

510
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: workplace or how you conduct your own business. But really

511
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: think about what it means, especially for oppressed people in

512
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: this country, and what that lived experiences, because it's it's

513
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: it's awful, it's terrifying for many people. The last trend

514
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: we have on the dock, I don't think we're gonna

515
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: have time for John Dillermanned, which is a Denmark children's

516
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: show about a man with a huge uncontrollable penis. Um, wait, uncontrollable.

517
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: He he has no control. It's like in a Uh

518
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: all right, we have time. There's always time for a denom.

519
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: We have about a man with a giant, uncontrollable penis.

520
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: Uh so a white man? Uh yeah, yeah, all right,

521
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: maybe I'm off this ship then, uh mustachioed white man.

522
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean he looks like a lot of uncontrollable. Hold

523
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: on what is uncontrollable? People? That just sounds like something

524
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: awful and problematic. It's so massive and flexible it can

525
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: save children from danger, fetch objects from a river, and

526
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: operate as a pogo stick. But it sounds like it's

527
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: like kind of phantom or alien limb syndrome where it's

528
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: like has kind of a mind of its own. Um,

529
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: this is something they made for children. Um. In episode one,

530
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: for instance, Uh, this dude who looks like one of

531
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: the guys from the Capital Insurrection yesterday, wearing like a

532
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: striped bathing suit from the eighteen hundreds. Uh. He is

533
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: using his giant dick to as a leash for his dog,

534
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: but quickly finds himself inundated with request from his neighbors

535
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: to take their pets out for a walk with his

536
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: giant penis. At another point in this show, he has

537
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: he has stuck floating. Sorry I get emotional about this.

538
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: He has stuck floating in mid air after balloons are

539
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: tied to his Uh. The CNN article says his groin.

540
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think that's accurate, right, Yeah, no,

541
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: no dick? Yeah? Um so yeah, we don't need you anymore,

542
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Mr Bean. We got John Dillermann tripping over his dick

543
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: all over the place. I would kill to see this cartoon. Honestly,

544
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: I would kill to see this cartoon. Yeah, because I'm

545
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: like four kids. Well, Jack, you've got kids. Are you

546
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna show it to your kids? Oh? Man? Uh, they're

547
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like daddy. It over It overlaps with a

548
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of it, overlaps with a lot of the bedtime

549
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 1: stories I make up whose trunk is too long or something?

550
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: How how is this which all came on? Yeah? I

551
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: gotta see it because obviously, like, we're very puritanical here,

552
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to be like, am I being too

553
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: prudish by saying a man's penis should be saving kids?

554
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know about all that No,

555
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: you're not being too prudish, giant dick who Like, so

556
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: I was there, there is a movement that like you

557
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: want to uh like make your kids comfortable with you know,

558
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: their penis there, but so that they're not like weirded out,

559
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: like it doesn't open them up to shame if like

560
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's somebody around them who is inappropriate in

561
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: any way. Um, so that like you just wanna when

562
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: I was a kid called it our heine and like

563
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: we didn't even mention the penis, uh and now like

564
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: we call it poop and butt and pen and like

565
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: so I could see it being like a part of

566
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: that overall movement to just like familiarized kids. But this

567
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: is like a weird way to do it. A man's

568
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: penis can't save a child and also should not be

569
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: touching a child. That's what I mean. The second the

570
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: saying that the penis is out in front of kids,

571
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: the show is canceled. Well, it's it's in his it's

572
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: part of his striped like for so it's in a

573
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: like enormous seeing it. Yeah, it looks like a where's

574
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Waldo has a big fire hose penis? Yeah, Um, anyways,

575
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: I no Dane is that gang? I know you're out there.

576
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: Help me understand. Yeah, y'all hooked me up when I

577
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: was in Copenhagen, you know what I mean, Like, help

578
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: me understand from the Danes perspective, from the green Viking people.

579
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: I like the idea. I mean, I don't know if

580
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: this is part of it, but I like the idea

581
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: of things that help kids not feel embarrassed about their

582
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: body parts. When I was very young, I audibly farted

583
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: in front of the class, and it low key ruined

584
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: my life. And I I remember thinking, am I the

585
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: only person who farts? I would have loved a little,

586
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: a little like something to normalize it? Rigid you thought

587
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: you were the only person that farted. Think because they'll

588
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: react people class. I was like, it's funny, yeah, oh man,

589
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: fart sor. I grew up fart friendly. Every generation on

590
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: both side, all black and Japanese, big fart fans. My

591
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: my dad's dad, he had. He still does it. He'll fart.

592
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: He'll be like h and that's what he does when

593
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: he farts, what'd you say? And that's what he does

594
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: every time? And then other you know everyone. There's bits

595
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: I could do the Japanese ones. But if they're not

596
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: many Japanese speakers won't make as much sense. But yes,

597
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: be fart friendly, you know, just in Kentucky. Shame in

598
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: our bodies. One of my friends Dad's in Kentucky. You

599
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: say on a bull frog? Yeah, step on a frog.

600
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: I love its good guys ending your colloquial descriptions of

601
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: farts regionals to get our minds off this. Simon and

602

Speaker 1: Schusters has decided to councel publication of Senator John Nor.

603
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,920

604
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: of Big Tech. Oh my god, Oh how could they

605
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: but the money you could have made? Wow, we should

606
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: give them a gold star. I hate this dude so much,

607
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: like really really something about Like it's kind of a visceral.

608
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,279

Speaker 1: I knew who played lacrosse and you knew. You know,

610
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: It's like there's something about him he really gets to me.

611
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I have a very

612
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: a very deep in my bones is how tight his

613
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: suit is. Like He's like, you know, I'll be working now. Yes, Josh,

614
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: who like went to funk. What's that like ancient school

615
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: in England like St. Mark's or whatever you taught at,

616
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: like the most privileged motherfucker. And he's trying to parade

617
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: around like fucking man of the people who has never

618
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: touched skin with a person who had worked on wages.

619
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: The way that he talks, you would think he grew

620
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: up as a coal miner. Is prep school, right, you

621
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: know Yale all that ship. It's like, come on now,

622
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: get the funk out. And and I guess that's the

623
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: That's the thing too, is we have this other breed

624
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: of politician that is ivy league educated, great looking on paper,

625
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: but they are singular in their goal for like personal

626
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: gain at any cost. That's what Ted Cruz and Josh

627
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: Hollywood being like, oh wow, y'all holy shit, Like okay,

628
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,840

00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: who loves him a Republican, is now like, yeah, I

632
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: wasn't enough the whole time here. But I think that's

633
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: why I, like, you get really upset with these people

634
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560
