If you colonized country, that's 50 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: that's what if I'm also coming from a good place 51 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: in my heart, is that is that I don't I 52 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: don't see race, I don't see I'm not making fun 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: of you.

I can't even do a 61 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Haitian accent, like I'm Haitian born and raised and I 62 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: cannot do one because I just don't hear it, because 63 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: it just sounds like it's right. It is funny, like 64 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: you have an example two of your parents, like you've 65 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: been raised hearing an accent like thank you, thank you. 66 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: People will be like, why can't you do a Haitian accent? 67 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: I was just like, I don't even know where to start. 68 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how to do it. I don't know 69 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: I can talk like this because this sounds crazy.

That's great. Yeah, Charlotte, we're going 77 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: to get to know you a little bit better. In 78 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: a moment. Christ We're gonna tell our listeners a couple 79 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: of things we're talking about today. Uh, Donald Trump is 80 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: the president. He is lose most of his support. It's 81 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: it's wild, man, it's still wild. Uh. He's losing most 82 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: of his support in places where people are dying, which 83 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprising, but somehow, I don't know, it is. Uh, 84 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about his policy towards opening the schools. 85 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Uh yea. You know, there is an article that's like 86 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: fifth article down on the front page of the Drudge 87 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: Report today. It just says civil war inevitable in America. 88 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: And it's just this basically an opinion piece from a 89 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: far right person who doesn't realize they're far right, just 90 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: thinks they're like at the center. But essentially the thesis 91 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: is they're going to have to kill us all pretty soon. 92 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Who's gonna have the right the right to kill all 93 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: have to kill all the rest of us? Uh, And 94 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: they're just like very matter of fact then, Like I mean, 95 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: it's really it's the only reasonable thing to do. People 96 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: are going to totally be on our side. But yeah, 97 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: civil wars coming because the left is funded by George Source. 98 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: It's it's very uh, you know, just a matter of 99 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: fact way. I don't know, I don't know if this 100 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: is realized that they're distributing this kind of inpritionably probably 101 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: not information, but inciting violence. Essentially. It's Matt Drudge kind 102 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: of might have thrown some people off the scent because 103 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: he has been pretty critical of Trump, but he's still 104 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: pretty pretty far right. Yeah. Uh, and we're gonna do 105 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: a little might comment on the surge in Karen Dumb 106 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: that we've been seeing as a as a nation. All 107 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Charlotte, we like to 108 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history 109 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are? Hilarious? Um, guys, my 110 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: searches three lately has been how to move to Canada, 111 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: how to move to Netherlands, how to move to Germany? Um? 112 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: And has there ever been a black writer on the Simpsons? 113 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Those are the things that I recently search for. There 114 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: hasn't been a black writer on the Simpsons. There has actually, 115 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever been a black woman. Michael 116 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: Carrington is a black writer on the Simpsons, and I'm 117 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: pretty sure Mark Wilmore is also. I don't know if 118 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: he's currently but I'm pretty sure he did write on 119 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: the Simpsons. But anybody in those first eight seasons, I 120 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, and I highly doubt it. Yeah, 121 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, interesting. And so you're also looking at some 122 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: some cool getaway options, some cool getaways, um, some refugee 123 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: situations because Americans have been blocked from going to other countries. 124 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: You're not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. Um, But 125 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: I just want to be prepared because to me, like, 126 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm not looking at it just because of what's happening 127 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: right now, because I've been black this entire time and 128 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: it's been dangerous the whole time. So I'm just like, 129 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: I just think, long term, do I want to be 130 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: in And I'm thinking like this because of the response 131 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: that America has had to a lot of these crises, um, 132 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: and I it just feels like overall America doesn't seem 133 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: to have the political will, at least not yet. And 134 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know how bad it needs to get, 135 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: um for there to be like, you know, every fucking 136 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: mayor in America, every fucking government in America, like you know, 137 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: standing up and being like this stuff needs to be 138 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: passed right now. So so it's that kind of mindset, 139 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: that long term mindset that's getting me to google these 140 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: things Yeah, until the class of people changes that are politics. 141 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: It's never going to change because we have people who 142 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: are operating in a completely different realm of existence and 143 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: they're anten I are, are tuned to a completely different 144 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: frequency than the human beings that are their constituents. So 145 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: they're so oblievid best everything and nothing is pressing. They're 146 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: they're so oblivious even in the midst of crisis, even 147 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: in the midst of everyone in the country becoming enlightened 148 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: to what's really going on, and they're oblivious to their 149 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: own bias, and they're oblivious to their own ability to like, 150 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: they're still very much tied to these these um the 151 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: politics of six months ago, you know what I mean. 152 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm just like, like the way that the Los Angeles 153 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: in particular has put up such a fight to defunding 154 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: police doing anything. It doesn't show any real moral reconciliation. 155 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: It doesn't show any real like apology, like holy shit, 156 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,599 Speaker 1: we're sorry. Holy shit, we're racist, and so are our policies, 157 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: and here's what we're gonna do to change it. It It 158 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: is an emergency, and it's like and also everyone here 159 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: is poor, um and you know, and there's too much 160 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: income inequality and we need to fix it right now. 161 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: What can we do? So I just I just feel like, girl, 162 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm tired. I'm just like, you know what, go we 163 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: go somewhere that is not trying me mentally constantly. Did 164 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: you find out is there, like what's the easiest place 165 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: to move to? None of them, Yeah, none of them 166 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: are getting into Texas. None of them are easy. None 167 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: of them are easy. My my husband has some family 168 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: in Canada, which is why it's eat that's the first option. 169 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: But otherwise it's like, you know, none of them are easy, 170 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: and I don't have any skills like a television writer 171 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, like a lot of these high for high 172 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: skilled workers. You know you can if you get a 173 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: job there. You have to get a job. And also 174 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: it's just like this is like a very I'm very privileged, 175 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: Like I don't have ties here, I don't have children, 176 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: I don't have things that can make me that can 177 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: make it even harder to move. Um, but it's hard 178 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: to move anyway. So I just started looking into it. 179 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Especially when you look at that COVID up of North 180 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: America and you look at the like that border wall 181 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: up north, They're like, bro, you must be out your mind, 182 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: one of you assholes in here, right, And I totally 183 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: get it. I totally get it. You know. I'm an 184 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: immigrant to America, so I get it. But those were 185 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the days, huh probably wanted to get in here instead 186 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: of the funk out. Uh. The Mexican border also, yeah, 187 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they yes, they have said no to us as well. 188 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean not officially though, right, they're definitely border border 189 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: towns are like please yeah, and as they should be, 190 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, as they should be. America has has a 191 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: completely incompetent response to this crisis. And if anything, I'm 192 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: just like, you know, I don't know, man, Like when 193 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: when Trump won in sixteen, it wasn't to me like 194 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: a Trump thing. It was just like an America thing. 195 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Like I didn't look at like I still That's why 196 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: I would still leave, you know, even if Joe Biden wins. 197 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: You know, this is an American problem, like this is 198 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: not Trump individually, and the response to this crisis has 199 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: shown how incompetent our systems are, you know, structurally foundationally, 200 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: how racist they are, and how hard like an executive. 201 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: The other day, I was pitching a show about a 202 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: black family and um, you know, one of the things 203 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: that I was talking about was like how they're gonna 204 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: how they experienced racism, and he's like, but is that 205 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: going to be relevant, you know, because the world has changed. 206 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: And the thing is like this person very innocently said 207 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: it because they don't realize, they don't realize really and 208 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: and it is like that to me is so quintessential 209 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: of the American problem. Well, we had that, we had 210 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: that march. So isn't it that we had the march? 211 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: People saw the video were painted Black Lives Matter on 212 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: some streets. That was done by a company that cuts 213 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: trade lurs for movies, right. It was that one on 214 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard, and then they cut a deal with this 215 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: city where they were like and you can you can 216 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: power wah that ship off in twenty four hours, and 217 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: it's like this was just a branding. Yeah, it's yeah, 218 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: it's The people on that company were like, you know, 219 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't publicize it, but you know, we 220 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: we paid for that to be We paid for that. There. 221 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: There's an article in the Atlantic that people should check 222 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: out called The Three Weeks That Changed Everything That is 223 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: by a amateur pilot and it compares it tries to do. 224 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: Like I guess every time there's a plane crash, the 225 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: National Transportation Safety Board does like a deep investigation, and 226 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: so it tries to do that same sort of investigation 227 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: into what went wrong with coronavirus and the American response, 228 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty enlightening. It does suggest that it 229 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: really is basically, we had all the systems in place, 230 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: we just had the wrong administration. In no way I'll 231 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: read that. Yeah, it's worth it's worth checking out. What 232 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Um? I hate these guys. Honestly, 233 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: I think profit sharing is underrated. You know, I'm just 234 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: throwing it out there. I don't know. I think I think, 235 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: particularly in Hollywood, UM, this is a place where corporations 236 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: take our stories and then they you don't own your 237 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: Even if you get a TV show, you don't own it. 238 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: And I'm just like people should talk about that more 239 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: because even when you bring it up, they talk about 240 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: how there's no precedent for it. But in the UK, 241 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you create a show, um, there is 242 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: precedent for owning a copyright to your show. Um, but 243 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: in America that is not the case. So I think 244 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: if we start a conversation here about it, and you 245 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: know here, you know, when I've tried to bring it 246 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: up before, there's a lot of gas lighting that happens 247 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: that you know that you're asking for too much. There's 248 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: also that like you're a poor artist, you know, and 249 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: this is your shot, so you don't want to sunk 250 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: up your shot. And that's how they get you to 251 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: not ask. It's a manipulation tool, and it's how they 252 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: get you to not ask for what you should get, 253 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, because they because if they give you a 254 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: percentage of your copyright or you own your copyright, what 255 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: does that mean for everybody else? Now we're not gonna 256 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: make it as much money. And I'm just like, instead 257 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: of gas fighting us into thinking that it's impossible, and 258 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: you're everybody does it, your lawyer, your manager, everybody does it. Um, 259 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: I don't see why profit sharing. If we really want 260 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: to change the structures of this country, if we really 261 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: want to distribute wealth, then let's give people. Let's give 262 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: artists what they rightfully deserve. So you know, I'm like, 263 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: that's mine. I mean, I think this every game is 264 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: built on some person who is the boss or the employer, 265 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: holding some kind of infrastructure over the creator's head and 266 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: being like, well, how are you gonna do it without this? 267 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: So if you want to do this, then I guess it, 268 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: or or I get yeah, that's like that's a fantasy version, 269 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: or it's like yeah, like we'll put your name on 270 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: it and then you know, you get your created by 271 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: and then you can walk around town with that. But 272 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: this is part of what yeah, I don't know if 273 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: you guys, I mean, this is part of what the 274 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: w J has fought over with the agencies and things 275 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: like that. It's because agencies became production houses who owned 276 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: portions of the show and you didn't have to and 277 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: they told you, oh, you don't have to pay us 278 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: ten percent because you know it's packaged. And it's like, 279 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: of course, completely you know, not in the best interests 280 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: of the client. You know, it's not a sound business 281 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: practice to own something that belongs to your client. And 282 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: then you know, tell them, you know, placate them by 283 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: telling them that you don't have to pay ten percent. 284 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: You know. Get addie here, dude, So you mean that 285 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: you and and this studio and this network gets a 286 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: profit off of the life of this show. And I 287 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: just gotta paycheck. Is that what we're doing? Yeah, yeah, okay, 288 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry, Charlotte realized you you're not from this country. 289 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: What we do here is we take your labor and 290 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: we exploit it, uh exponentially. So what happened, what ends 291 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: up happening, is you the person who did all the 292 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: work and spent a lifetime of these experiences together and 293 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: educating yourself to the point that you could even verbual 294 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: verbalize it, articulate these experiences into script form. We take 295 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: that and we say we have cameras though, and that's 296 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: why it's ours. And then you get your little check 297 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: and then we get everything else. What a deal, And 298 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: then I'm poor again in like two years after I 299 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: paid off my massive student loans and you know, thank you. 300 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Look at what happened to the people who wrote the 301 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: original Lion King script. They like, I think they got 302 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: maybe a hundred, no, like seventy five tho dollars in 303 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: the first place, and nothing else. Rights to anything didn't end. 304 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: It was the script that they worked on with Disney 305 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: for I think three or four years, so it ended 306 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: up being like below and the King script they wrote it. 307 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 1: No residuals are you kidding me, completely uninvolved, and then 308 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: didn't get any residuals for the live action version that 309 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: was a shot for shot remake the copyright you know 310 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: what this is, and then on time and then they 311 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: ripped off Japanese I p to even come up from Simba. 312 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: That was a character named Kimba in Japan who was 313 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: the Kimba the white Lion, and like Ride Rock and 314 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: Ship all looked at anyway whatever, but see, hey, this 315 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: is this is the thing everyone has to think about, 316 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: like at every level, or you don't have to work 317 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry. It's like you could work at 318 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: a job where you are on a factory line and 319 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: you were putting. Dude, your body is aching. You were 320 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: the person doing all this work. You were the person 321 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: waking up early. The people. How is it that the 322 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: people making the most money are doing the least amount 323 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: of work, Like realistically, that's how this that's how this 324 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: whole game works. Is the smarter people like, look, bro, 325 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: Eventually it gets to a point where you get so 326 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: rich you just figure out how to never work and 327 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: just move it around.

And then you get into the writer's room 436 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: and you start and then you start to meet, you know, 437 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: the exacts you start to meet, You go on these generals, 438 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: you start to meet people.

You know, 444 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Hollywood is exactly like the rest of America. And the 445 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: thing that is so disappointing is that it claimed it 446 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: espouses to be something else, it expouses to be something different, 447 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: and just to see how not different it is, and 448 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: not even just Hollywood, California, the entire place. You know. 449 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: I thought I was coming into like a liberal bastion, 450 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: into like a hippie paradise, and you're just not.

No, no, no, not today, guys. 494 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: That brings me to my myth But yeah, it is 495 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: that liberals aren't racist. That is a great myth um 496 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: that you know, I can debunk any minute you need 497 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: me to. I can deep bunk any day, you know. Yeah, 498 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean I can only imagine too, you know, the 499 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: coming to l a right, because you think of like 500 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: like it's all like it's chilled out. Yeah, it's like 501 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: different than other cities you've been to. But yeah, there 502 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: is this thing of where I think people in this 503 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: city pat themselves on the back even harder for this ship, 504 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: like really to the point where they don't realize how 505 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: far gone they actually can be. Because every step you take, 506 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: every turn you take, you can see just sort of 507 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: there's a lack of real awareness. Like if you really 508 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: saw the city for what it is, you're like, man, 509 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: this thing has been redline to fucking hell. Uh. And 510 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: it's there's like five there's five different l as that 511 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: you can experience, um, and but they're the one that 512 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: is constantly sort of you know projecting outward is the 513 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: one where everybody's like you know, at nice bars and 514 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: the sand in Santa Monica, everything looks like a fucking 515 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: stock photo. It's like all inclusive and we're lgbt Q 516 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: friendly and we're pos you know all this other stuff, 517 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: and you know what, But I do think that, um, 518 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is exactly like that. The Democratic Party 519 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: is very racist and doesn't again, like most liberals just 520 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: don't understand their bias. They don't see their unconscious bias 521 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: in their own racism. So, and I don't want to 522 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: say this because some people have come for me when 523 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: I've talked about the Democratic Party. I'm not here to 524 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: do fucking anyone's bidding. When I say that, I'm looking 525 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: straight up at something and I'm saying, this is not purpose, 526 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: This is politics, because purpose is pulling up for people 527 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: and funding the community. If you the second you start 528 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: watering ship down because you give a funk about what 529 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: a lobbyist told you, I don't, that's not that's not 530 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: the real ship. And I think that's what is happening 531 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: right with all of this. These ideas are are starting 532 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: to crumble, but I think those are going to be 533 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: the hopefully the positives we come out out of here 534 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: is we abandoned that bootstrap ship. We abandoned the shaming 535 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: of the poort. We abandoned the billionaire worship and can 536 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: move on to something really substantive, because seeing all this 537 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: lack of caring and lack of humanity around is only 538 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: inspiring people be like, hold on, man, like we should 539 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: not be doing shit like this. And that's why I 540 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: look at a party I've been told to vote for familiarly, 541 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: uh and culturally for a long time, telling me what 542 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: side of the fence I'm on, But now I'm I've 543 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: I've been at a point for a number of years 544 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: since leaving politics where the purpose has to be the 545 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: really the real driving force behind everything, and rather than like, well, 546 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: if you're doing that, then Biden could lose. I don't know. 547 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm looking I'm looking at people getting 548 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: killed and lynched in the street. I'm looking at people 549 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: getting left behind because they can't afford to live. That's 550 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: what's fucked up to me, not who if it's a 551 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: d or are in the White House and this is 552 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: the same ship they do every time, right like they 553 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: always like it's again that south Park episode. South Park 554 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: episode where you have to vote between a turd sandwich 555 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: and a piece of ship or something like that, and 556 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: like this is the kind of fear that they instill 557 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: in us, but without they instill this kind of fear 558 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: that if we don't vote for the Democratic Party, then 559 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: where you know, then we're splitting the vote, We're doing 560 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: all these other things. But then I'm just like, isn't 561 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: the onus on the Democratic Party to put up candidates 562 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: that we actually want to support? Like when we watch 563 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party actively disenfranchised Bernie, actively not support him 564 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: even if he's getting the votes to garner that support, 565 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: should I give a funk about who you want me 566 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: to vote for? Like should I even give a funk? Like, like, 567 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: how do think different you as the party you're because 568 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: some people are moving past politics and towards purpose. You know, 569 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: I think it was easier in the from two thousand 570 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: and seven. For a good nine years it was like, yes, 571 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: like you know what, I know, I trust this machine 572 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: to do the equitable thing. Then we started looking We're like, 573 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was doing really the best 574 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: thing to actually when I look at when I think 575 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: about it, because I'm measuring that against what I see 576 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: in my own community, and I don't think things are 577 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: getting better. Um, and I think people have to you know, 578 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: obviously I don't, and I don't. I don't not critical 579 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party because I'm trying to, you know, deflate 580 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: enthusiasm to blow Trump out in November, and absolutely not 581 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: when I'm trying. I say this because I feel like 582 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: as Americans people really need to begin re examining how 583 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: this political thing works. Because if we're just here because 584 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: of d or R, get fucked in the end either way, 585 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: if we're not demanding real, like purpose driven legislation. Yeah, 586 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't just want purpose driven legislation. I want thoughtful, 587 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: smart leaders I want people who Yes, I want people. 588 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: The thing is, to me, it's like our racism problem 589 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: that is in this country is a capitalism problem. It 590 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: just it's a capital Like all of these problems are 591 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: capitalism problem. Why can't I have thoughtful, smart leadership because 592 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: capitalism has taken over our politics, because money has taken 593 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: over our Problemy is never going to be equitable and 594 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: real democracy until until these people aren't doing the bidding 595 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: of you know, whoever is paying them, you know, And 596 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: it's really hard to have any kind of integrity. It's 597 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: really hard for me to respect any of my legislators 598 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: when I mean honestly, like I I support and I 599 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: donate to candidates who don't take corporate pac money. If 600 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: that's if that's a little thing that I can do, 601 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not waiting for these people to legislate socialism, 602 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm I'm gonna start doing 603 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: it little by little bit on my own. If I 604 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: have a little bit, you know, I help my friend, 605 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: I help my family. Like I'm not I'm not waiting, 606 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: like the culture can't wait for them. We gotta do 607 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: it ourselves. People are dying. People are dying. People people dying. 608 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: That's the thing people been And now we're at a 609 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: point where we look at our politicians are like, come on, 610 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: like right now, really right now, because everybody is seeing 611 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: it in the most everybody, we might need more assistance. 612 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the first things they should be 613 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: doing is when the second they saw that some people 614 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: are living a better life because their their actual job 615 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: is paying less than the support they were getting from 616 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: the government, the first thing to be like, we got 617 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: to change the minimum wage because there should be nobody 618 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: out here being like, actually makes more sense for me 619 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: to be on undeployment yes, but states can do that 620 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: on their own, right, Like it's a capitalism question. Capitalism, 621 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: then that means the employer has to take less and 622 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: that means there's less revenue to split up at the end, 623 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: and then the shareholder value goes down to dot dot dot, 624 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: and then you're stuck with people doing you know, wage 625 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: or tip augmented income, you know, at a restaurant, things 626 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: like that, Like all this ship is meant for the 627 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: rich people to not have to dig into their top 628 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: pockets too much. People who people who are saying that, 629 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: like we're doing we're helping Trump by criticizing Biden, Like 630 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: there needs to be something beyond. I feel like that's 631 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: a a very outdated viewpoint that like, well you just 632 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: have to swallow the medicine and support Biden without like 633 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: thinking about like connecting that to that larger purpose, Like 634 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: what are we going to do because it just feels 635 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: like it's way too easy for people to be like, yeah, 636 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: but it's better than Trump. And then somebody said that 637 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: like people a lot of like the liberal class once 638 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: Biden to win, so they can stop paying attention to 639 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: politics again, and like that's that needs right exactly. It's 640 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: like that because you need to be engaged. You need 641 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: to be engaged the whole time, and unfortunately, at a 642 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: certain level of engagement, you begin to see a lot 643 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: of things that will disgust you and you will begin 644 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: to completely rethink things. So it's really depending on your 645 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: level of engagement. I don't I'm not out here saying, 646 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: don't everybody fucking let's hope Trump gets another thing, because 647 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: the whole I'm not an accelerationist necessarily. I think on 648 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: some levels, clearly we need to ship needs to get 649 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: popped in a little bit quicker, but not to the 650 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: point where like a second Trump administration is going to 651 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: be absolute disaster more so than just getting another smiling 652 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: capitalist in. But it's yeah, I mean, the stakes are 653 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: the stakes are very clear to everyone. But at the 654 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: end of the day, we will we what we're saying 655 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: is the real At least from my perspective, that's what 656 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: I look at, because if you're if you're out here 657 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: saying you understand if you're gonna wear a kinte cloth 658 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: and take a knee, and you say you understand that, Blacks, 659 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: then really put some legislation forward that actually communicates to 660 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: me that you understand the problem because the only legislation 661 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 1: I saw shows me that you want to not piss 662 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: the cops off. That's what that's what you didn't. You 663 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 1: don't give up. You don't want to kiss your wallets off. 664 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: You don't want to piss your wallets off. You don't 665 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: want to piss anything off. And it's just like, that's 666 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: why you guys need to go. That's why we need 667 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: and And the thing is, like, I'm not done criticizing 668 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I'm gonna criticize whoever comes into office 669 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: because that is what you ask for when you when 670 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: you come into public office, you asked to be criticized. 671 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: Um good or bad, you know what I mean? Like, 672 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: I don't want to just clap for the good things 673 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 1: you do, but I want to I want to engage. 674 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: I feel like they they are condescending to us. The 675 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is condescending to us as a voter base, 676 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: and they want us to clap because they're not as 677 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: bad as the Republicans, but they're they're just as bad, 678 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,959 Speaker 1: I think because of that bullshit kneeling with the Cante clap, 679 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: because of the complete disconnect between what who they are 680 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: and what they believe and what they espouse to be 681 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: to us to make us vote for them. So I'm 682 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: just like, yes, I will vote, you know, according to 683 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: my own survival. But I would like it to get 684 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: to a point where I can vote making a smart 685 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,439 Speaker 1: decision and not just emotional decision, a decision based off 686 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: of whether or not they like black people. I would 687 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: like to legislate the ship out of there to the 688 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: point where it's like, it's not about if you have 689 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: a black friend, if you know a black person, if 690 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: your daughter is half black, I don't give a funk, Like, 691 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: it's not about your personal connection to me, whether or 692 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: not you like me. It's about people being able to 693 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 1: live happy and free and safe and and not giving 694 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: a funk about your feelings. That's much. There's too to 695 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: sit around like clapping friends, and it's stupid. It's just 696 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: it's really disingenuous, and it's lazy to just say, well, 697 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: you're being critical because you want Trump to win. No, 698 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 1: the funk you're talking about. I'm critical because I'm looking 699 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: at real fucked up problems in this country and I 700 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: think we need to change them. So I'm I will, 701 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: I will, you know, I'm I'm I'm I will I 702 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: will advocate on behalf of what I believe. The direction 703 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: is that the country can move towards that can be 704 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: more inclusive and humane to people of all backgrounds and classes. 705 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. It's not because I want 706 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: donc what the funk you're talking about. It's because I 707 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,919 Speaker 1: think we can. I think we can treat each other 708 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: with a base level of humanity that we've still not 709 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: been able to get there. That's that's step one, is 710 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: like can we get to humanity? People are fucking stupid 711 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: like America.

He thinks he's too smart. And I'm like, 716 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: do you know what? Sound like you're shooting on somebody 717 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: because they're educated. And the idea that education here is 718 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: something that is you know, associated with the city, associated 719 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: with being like hoity toit, like uppity, you know what 720 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: I mean.

And I feel like a lot of 737 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: us have been doing it. We've been donating to those 738 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: bond jail bond funds, bail funds.

Why why would the Drudge Report not take 788 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: a page from that book and be like, you know what, 789 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: because it's one guy. Yeah, because that's one huge conservative 790 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: And the format of the website, you know, they're not 791 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: a lot of not a lot of people, not a 792 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: lot of staff for that thing. And it's yeah, it's 793 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: just him. I mean, he's he's traditionally been very conservative 794 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: and the fact that he's critical of Trump doesn't because 795 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 1: you know, white supremacies cult at the end of the day, 796 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: and that's what they're that's the that's the call to 797 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: arms is not because of whatever they're saying it is. 798 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: It's because the people who are most energized in this 799 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: like sort of existential fight for their lives lives are 800 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: racists who are there there. Their biggest fear is the 801 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: inversion of racial status and power in this country. And 802 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: that is the final battle to be fought in this country. 803 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,240 Speaker 1: And you can tell when because there are yes, racist 804 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: people are getting much more aggressive there is, there are 805 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: more and more because they see the change. They see 806 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: the change, and I understand that they're they're scared. But 807 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: it's interesting when you compare like what the existential dilemma 808 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: to a comfortable white person is who just doesn't like that, 809 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, Bubba Wallace got NASCAR to band the Confederate flag, 810 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: versus people who are being killed in the street, terrorized 811 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: by police, being you know, very very much systematically gutted 812 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: of any kind of social services or welfare, access to income. 813 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: Those are also real stakes for people to um. And 814 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, there's just a definite all of this 815 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: inequity is I'm not sure. I'm not certain how it 816 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: ends in a nice way without there being real real 817 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: change or appeaval on some level. Yeah, you know, what's 818 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: the most sad thing about white supremacists. It's not only 819 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,240 Speaker 1: is it death cult, but it's like, don't you guys 820 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: realize that everybody, or at least to me, you're just 821 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 1: screaming about the fact that you think your inferior, or 822 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: that you know your inferior. You're afraid of the fact 823 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 1: that you're inferior. So it's just like so so you 824 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: literally would rather die than be equal or or whatever 825 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: it is. It's just like such a it's such a 826 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 1: pitiful mindset to me, it's such a it's it's it's 827 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: just a mindset that I just find so sad. I'm 828 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: just like, it's it's just so sad. I'm just like, 829 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,800 Speaker 1: so you just are so afraid that you are inferior, 830 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 1: so that you would kill yourself extend to extend towards 831 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: any white supremacists. But like in terms of their ideology, 832 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: they've they've been fed all these like things that they 833 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: thought were really made them better. That we're all real. 834 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 1: So they were like, well, yeah, maybe you know, the 835 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: we're not doing hot in this case, but at least 836 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: the presidents are white, that Barack Obama came along, you know, 837 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: at least that, but we can at least the GOP 838 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: can maintain control of these state houses and you know, 839 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 1: they people know what time it is. Oh wait, now 840 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: that's even crumbling. Yeah, well, now at least we got 841 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: you know, the police force, and that's the way we 842 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: can terrorize people. Oh wait, more people are catching onto 843 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,240 Speaker 1: that and that's crumbling. Well, at least we got these statues, 844 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: Like it keeps getting whittled down to bullshit too. Now 845 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: they're just like, well, at least we have these statues. 846 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 1: And now that that's coming down, of course, you would 847 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: be like, oh shit, it's the fourth quarter. Now I'm 848 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,399 Speaker 1: on the bench. I gotta get up out, I gotta 849 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,240 Speaker 1: suit up. Yeah, And I do think it's a myth 850 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: that they're all stupid, Like I think that. I think 851 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 1: that in the same way that like people are always 852 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: surprised to find that, like when you look at cult members, 853 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 1: they actually score higher on intelligence tests than uh, the 854 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,840 Speaker 1: average person. And it's because they're able, because they're able 855 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: to argue to everything. They're able to make the argument 856 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: in their own head to whatever is convenient for them 857 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: to believe at that time and whatever keeps them comfortable. 858 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: And so I think I think we underrate their intelligence 859 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: and also underrate like how they know what they're doing, 860 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: Like they believe in white supremacy and they're protecting that, 861 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: they're using their faculties, uh and what's available to them 862 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: to to protect that, um, you know, and then I 863 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 1: take it back. I mean, I just feel like it's 864 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: just a pitiful state, Like it just is like you're 865 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: screaming about how pitiful you are, Um, yeah, oh totally, 866 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: it's it's and but even worse is how they're reinforced 867 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: or you know, upheld by our legislators. You know, Um, 868 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,280 Speaker 1: I remember when the Charleston shooting happened and Brine Newsom, 869 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: I think her last name is Newsom, Brine Newsom took 870 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: the Confederate flag down from the um Charleston State Capital 871 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: or and or South Carolina State capitol, and she was 872 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: arrested because it was a protest. But just the fact 873 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't put take that flag down after those 874 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: nine church members were murdered by a white supremacist. Just 875 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,919 Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, like when white supremacists come 876 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,399 Speaker 1: to march like or or the fact that that conservative 877 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: white supremacist views are talked about as something that are 878 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: both sides of the argument. You know, there are good 879 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,280 Speaker 1: people on both sides, or you know, reach across the aisle, 880 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, reach across the aisle to what to a 881 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: white supremacist, what the funk are we talking about? Like 882 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 1: this doesn't make any sense? You know the fact that yeah, 883 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: the fact that you know, the Drudge Report can even 884 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: put up this argument as an argument and not something 885 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 1: that is just a danger to the safety of the 886 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: American people. Is what upholds these things. This is what 887 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: I mean about the culture, like the or the fact 888 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 1: that like when we talk about police, you know, defunding 889 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,800 Speaker 1: the police. I have not seen any articles about white fear, 890 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, like like, let's address the fact that white 891 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: people are afraid of the fact that there might not 892 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,959 Speaker 1: be a police and I'm and I'm just like, let's 893 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: talk about it because it's a legitimate fear, you know. 894 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: Then then they could connect with how irrational that is 895 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: and then begin to see objectively that maybe these alternatives 896 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,839 Speaker 1: that people are talking about maybe worth listening to. Like 897 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 1: it's a it's a very like that's where the hand 898 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 1: the media plays because they could be like, hey man, 899 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: white people probably scared that you should actually probably know 900 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 1: about this phenomenon sociologically that you're going through. It's not 901 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 1: just because this idea is bad or whatever whatever you 902 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,879 Speaker 1: think of it. First they're your limbic system is being 903 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: taken over in your flight, your fight or flight response 904 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,720 Speaker 1: is kicked in, and that is what's determined was happening. 905 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: You're not taking a second to actually look at something, 906 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: think about it, review the facts, review the history. But 907 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: that's not what it is. Always like is defund the 908 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: least too aggressive and radical too much. Yeah yeah, but 909 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 1: I'm just like, you're watching these really chilling murders, you know, 910 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 1: and let's address the fact. Let's address your own bias, 911 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 1: which you should absolutely have because of the way that 912 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: the country works. Like, of course you have bias. Of 913 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: course you're racist, you know, like you just are, Like 914 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,919 Speaker 1: that is the way that America works. So it's just like, 915 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: if you're afraid, let's talk about it. Let's let's let's 916 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: debunk those fears, um that you know, whatever fears you 917 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 1: have that black people are coming as an army. You know, 918 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: black people are really busy. They're not coming for you, 919 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: Like I promise they have things to people have been 920 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,280 Speaker 1: systematically reduced to not be able to have the time 921 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: to We don't have time working low income jobs. We 922 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:53,240 Speaker 1: don't have time. And our poverty is your poverty. Racism 923 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: is a capitalism problems. I was just like, we all 924 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 1: poor girl, ain't nobody coming for you? Like, let's I 925 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: mean the fear when when black armed protesters were like 926 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 1: marching last week, that was those photographs of that were 927 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: on the front page of the Drudge Report. They want 928 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: because to stoke that white fear, you like, white people 929 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: should be afraid of these black people who are demanding equality, 930 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: who are demanding equality, who are armed because it's legal right, 931 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: and that the state that they are what's leg That's 932 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,759 Speaker 1: also the trick is also re contextualizing the fight for 933 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: equality as violence. Yes, you know, why are they looting 934 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 1: or what's the Look what happened? I mean, look, we 935 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: get it that these people are being murdered by the police, 936 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 1: but that's not how to do that or whatever, that's 937 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 1: how to do it. It's completely and it's disingenuous to 938 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: even look at something like that when you should be like, 939 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 1: things are so bad, there are people in this country 940 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,839 Speaker 1: who will burn ship down because there I know, it's 941 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,320 Speaker 1: hard to believe from your place of comfort and mine 942 00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 1: as a media analysts, slash anchor slash news presenter, we 943 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: know nothing of the strife and struggle of a person 944 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 1: of color in this country, so we'll look at it 945 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,280 Speaker 1: that far removed and then be like, oh, I wouldn't 946 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: do it like that. You would do it like that 947 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: because you've never even been in a situation like that, 948 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 1: So how could you don't have the wherewithal to even 949 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 1: begin to analyze what you're seeing. And then we get 950 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,359 Speaker 1: these like mixed messages out that then every other person 951 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: is like, you know, I agree with the protests, but 952 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if it has to happen like that 953 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 1: when it should be Like I didn't realize it was 954 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 1: burned ship down bad for some people, and I can't believe. 955 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,919 Speaker 1: And it's so abstract to me that I've never known 956 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: burnsh it down angry. What does that mean for me 957 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 1: as a white What does that mean for me as 958 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,359 Speaker 1: a white person in America that it's burned it down 959 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 1: bad and it's been that and this is not the 960 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: first time it has been burned down? What does that mean? 961 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,359 Speaker 1: And your position as a white person is based on 962 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: advantages and privileges that have contributed to things for other people, 963 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: And it does not mean you should feel guilty like 964 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 1: guilty about this.

This is not about an individual issue. 970 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,880 Speaker 1: This is not about you. It's about the country is 971 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: burning down easier. I think it's easier to look at 972 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 1: that as a solution is to be like, we should 973 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: acknowledge our hand in this and then and then what better? 974 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 1: And then it ends there, No, it ends, it ends. 975 00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 1: It ends that I feel guilty. Great work I did. 976 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 1: I did the work that I connected with how bad 977 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,720 Speaker 1: it could be for a moment, and now I've felt 978 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: a requisite amount of discomfort. I will now push that 979 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 1: away and keep it moving. But I did feel it though, 980 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: so don't don't get me wrong. I did feel it, 981 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 1: but I just didn't choose to keep thinking further. Which 982 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: is yes, now put some put some action in, because 983 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 1: it's not the tears that people are after. It's it's 984 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 1: these laws that are going to keep next knees off 985 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,360 Speaker 1: of next and no knock warrants and people mysteriously getting 986 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: murdered and the cops having the power be like, mom, no, 987 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: we're living in a dystopia. We're living in a dystopia. 988 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: And it has been that go that way for so long. 989 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I remember in when Trump won 990 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,879 Speaker 1: um UH, a magazine reached out to a bunch of 991 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: Brooklyn comics asking if we can you know, you know, 992 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: how are we going to make fun of this?

It was one 997 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 1: of the things that made me like, question, do I 998 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 1: want to even do stand up anymore? If this is 999 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: the way that we that I'm viewed, you know what 1000 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, like as someone who is not who is 1001 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 1: first and foremost a jokester, who when they are presented 1002 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: with an existential threat, first thinks about, how is this hilarious? 1003 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And it's like I was 1004 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: just like, America, you're fun because if you think, and 1005 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: there were so many articles like that about like how 1006 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: are comics gonna make fun of this? How are we 1007 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: going to make fun of this? On TV? L O 1008 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 1: L isn't it funny? Trump?

It's not funny white supremacy and it's 1010 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 1: not going to be funny for a long even if 1011 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: even when Biden wins if there's no tampering with the 1012 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 1: election and there's not some sort of two or whatever 1013 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 1: that Trump does, if any if anybody is with him 1014 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 1: by that point, Um, it's going to take so long. 1015 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna take so long because struck to undo this ship. 1016 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: These are at the very foundations, you know, like this 1017 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: is since reconstruction, like this appeasing of white supremacists of 1018 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: the South, of Confederate flags, of this bullshit, this appeasement, 1019 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 1: this hand holding of white bullshit. Well yeah, see what 1020 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 1: happens to smash out the racists in the Civil War. 1021 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: And they're like, all right, sorry guys, okay, here you 1022 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: we can let you have your little flag over here, 1023 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 1: and will name some of these military installations after these 1024 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: people like Braxton Bragg that fought against you know, people 1025 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: like William Sherman who you knew personally before. But anyway, 1026 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't let's it, I think, And there could be 1027 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: a second moment right where like there, you know, there 1028 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: will be the coddling of Democrats to Trump Republicans who 1029 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 1: have seen the light now and we're like, no, we 1030 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: gotta be no, you gotta be able. Even though they 1031 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 1: fully showed their entire ass for four years or however 1032 00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 1: many years, and they let everybody know what it was Collins, 1033 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, that that's not gonna happen. How many Hey, man, Linday, 1034 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham's a good friend of mine. Man, face was hilarious. 1035 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 1: That was hilarious. I mean, that was funny. Any people 1036 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: have no integrity there where people are giving him credit 1037 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: first sight, like disagreeing with the prisoner on one thing 1038 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: because he had the lukewarm take that the Confederate flag 1039 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 1: is bad for business. Oh my God, give him the 1040 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 1: Nobel prize. Man. I never heard I never heard deep 1041 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 1: thinking like that ever my life. God, And the and 1042 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: the thesis of that statement is that capitalism will fix 1043 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: all this, which is the exact offer. Right, all right, 1044 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's take one more break and then we'll 1045 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 1: come back and run through a few of the stories 1046 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: real quick, and we're back. So Donald Trump is losing 1047 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 1: support according to recent polls from Pure Research Center. He's 1048 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 1: losing support fastest in the five counties where the number 1049 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: of cases have been more than twenty coronavirus deaths per 1050 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 1: one thousand people, which shouldn't be surprising. Uh, this maybe 1051 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: the answer to the question I raised yesterday, like who 1052 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: voted for him in that won't Now it's like people 1053 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 1: who are dying or seeing people who died or no, 1054 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: people who died. Um. But uh, fortunately the for his 1055 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: electoral chances, the president is doing the only thing he 1056 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: knows how to do, which is doubled down and uh 1057 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 1: in really like, I I don't know what sentence went 1058 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 1: through his mind that said the way too when people 1059 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: back is to tell them they have to put their 1060 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 1: children in schools, like where they can die in a 1061 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:42,479 Speaker 1: problem that I created. Like that seems like the very yeah, 1062 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,800 Speaker 1: because again we're in such like that late stage of 1063 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: capitalism where it's just being like yeah, I know, before 1064 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: we used to be able to come up with these 1065 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: fancy ways of talking about how we kill you, but 1066 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: now it's straight up like, look, um, we can't get 1067 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: this ship going if our workers have to teach their 1068 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: kids at home. So in order for that to happen, 1069 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 1: you need to order you need to open these schools, 1070 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 1: which frees up my work in labor force to get 1071 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 1: their ass into these offices because I need to reopen 1072 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 1: and start making money. Like it's so dark because there's 1073 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 1: nothing about this that has any concern for children. Like 1074 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,520 Speaker 1: to your point, Charlotte, look what we see on the 1075 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 1: show the problems in this country. The answer is either 1076 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,360 Speaker 1: white supremacy or capitalism, or both. Sometimes you get both 1077 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 1: in one. And this is clearly a capitalism problem because 1078 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: we the the fucking desire to reopen everything because of 1079 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: because economy, because the alternative is to help people, and 1080 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe, but empathy costs money. That alternative just 1081 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 1: doesn't really hold up here. And the way it's even 1082 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: the way he's even positing it right, like he starts 1083 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 1: off by saying, uh, he's trying to even say that 1084 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats want schools closed because they want to score 1085 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: political points. He's saying, uh, we hope that most schools 1086 01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 1: are going to be open. We don't want people to 1087 01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: make political statements. Are doing for political reasons. They think 1088 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: it's going to be good for them politically, so they 1089 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,640 Speaker 1: keep the schools closed. No way, We're very much going 1090 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open 1091 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 1: the schools. To go get them open. It's very important, 1092 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: it's very important for our country. It's very important for 1093 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: the well being of the student and the parents. So 1094 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 1: we're going to be putting a lot of pressure on 1095 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: open your schools in the fall um threatening funding. Basically, 1096 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,919 Speaker 1: I mean other countries are opening their schools. Uh, that's true, 1097 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: ignoring Yeah, ignoring the fact that we are we have 1098 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:37,040 Speaker 1: the worst outbreak and in the world. It's like he 1099 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,360 Speaker 1: lit one of the schools on fire, and it is 1100 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: like you still have to go to school because the 1101 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 1: school down the street that I didn't light on fire 1102 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 1: is people are just opening. That's fine. When you look 1103 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: at even those examples he cited, there are a lot 1104 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 1: of experts who are like rebutting that very specific take 1105 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 1: he had on the schools that are the or the 1106 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 1: countries that had schools beginning to reopen. And mind you, 1107 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 1: this was like with limited class size. They're doing a 1108 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 1: lot to even open. It looks nothing like back to 1109 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 1: ship Um. They're saying, a responsible strategy for reopening schools 1110 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: starts with controlling the community spread of COVID nineteen through 1111 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: distancing in the use of face masks, as well as 1112 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 1: robust tracing, isolation and quarantining, as all countries that have 1113 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 1: open schools without spikes and cases did before resuming. Uh instruction, 1114 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 1: and we we have nothing like that the things I've 1115 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 1: heard about the tracing programs have been really lackluster. Not 1116 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: to say that these people aren't trying, but whatever it is, 1117 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:36,959 Speaker 1: we're just not There's just no leadership able to do that. Yeah. 1118 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 1: We've already talked a little bit about that Drudge Report article. Uh, 1119 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean just the it you kind of 1120 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: have to read it. I don't want to go through 1121 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: it too much, but just the the certainty that the 1122 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: person uh talking speaks with about the fact that basically 1123 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 1: the election is going to cause a war because Trump 1124 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 1: will a delayer canceled the election, the left will riot, 1125 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Biden will win via mail in ballots, which he claims 1126 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: are constantly used to steal elections but have never been uh, 1127 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 1: and the right won't accept it, and they will riot, 1128 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,800 Speaker 1: and either way there's gonna be a war. And the 1129 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:22,440 Speaker 1: just calm certainty that this writer has that they have 1130 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 1: the moral high ground and the left is part of 1131 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: a conspiracy funded by George Soros. To what end isn't clear, 1132 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: but it just is funded by George Soros. He It's 1133 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, we're gonna start killing everybody. And it 1134 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of that cop in Wilmington's North 1135 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Carolina who left his body cam on while he was 1136 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: talking about indiscriminately shooting black people in the street. Yeah. Um, 1137 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,040 Speaker 1: and how you can't wait? It's there's like a giddiness 1138 01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 1: to it. It's, yeah, you know, That's why I would 1139 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: help to have laws you know that like look at 1140 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: our police departments to make sure there aren't you know, 1141 01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: people on these race war murder fantasies working there. Or 1142 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: we can wait untill we vote the right people in 1143 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and then hope and pray that the bodies pile up 1144 01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 1: high enough that it reaches their you know, penthouse level 1145 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 1: of the building they live in and they go, WHOA, 1146 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: what was that right?

We link off to the 1262 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,760 Speaker 1: information that we talked about today's episode, as well as 1263 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 1: the song we ride out on miles?

Great producer 1266 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,040 Speaker 1: makes a lot of the beats for ASoP rock. So 1267 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,000 Speaker 1: if you're a big ASoP rock fan, Blockhead is typically 1268 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 1: the producer. The reason I like Blockhead is that he's 1269 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 1: one of these producers who uses samples, but he really 1270 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,680 Speaker 1: does no proper musical training. He just knows like how 1271 01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: they work. And always think that's interesting when producers aren't 1272 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,920 Speaker 1: using keyboards, they're just like surely taking these palettes of 1273 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,839 Speaker 1: sounds and just their intuition always guys them to fire tracks. 1274 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,519 Speaker 1: And this is a new and well what that dictionary do?
