1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to Desperately Devoted. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: Think of us as your favorite neighbors as we chat 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: about life and relationships, all. 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 3: While we revisit the iconic show Desperate Housewives together. 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: I'm Terry Hatcher, I'm Andrea Bowen, and I'm Emerson Tenny. Hey, everyone, 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: we hope this finds you well. So we started doing 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: this Desperately Devoted podcast because we knew that the fans 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: of the show were like community. We feel like family, 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 2: and sharing stories from the show and themes from the 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: show has been our way to connect with you, to 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: share joy. But we're coming on here today because it's 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: a really special episode for us because something important is 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: happening in our country and we don't feel like we 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: can ignore it. It's very strange to not come on 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: here and acknowledge it, and so we wanted to do 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: that with you, especially since some of our family, Ricardo 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: Shavera and James Detton are right smack in the middle 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: of the heart of Minneapolis. We are witnessing acts that 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 2: are illegal and horrifying, and I'm going to have trouble 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: not crying. Heartbreaking, really really heartbreaking, And so I think, 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: as any good neighbor would do, and we'd like to 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: think of ourselves as good neighbors on Wisteria Lane, no 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: matter what kind of crazy stuff we get up to. 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: It was important to us to just, you know, ground 25 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: this and have a reality check with some of the 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: people we love and care about and see how things 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 2: are going in their community, and most importantly, learn what 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: we can do to be supportive, to be supportive neighbors. 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: So far in twenty twenty six, the news cycle has 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: been dominated by controversy and public outcry tied to a 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: large scale federal immigration enforcement action in Minnesota that authorities 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: are calling Operation Metro Surge. ICE and Border Patrol agents 33 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: have been on the streets of Minneapolis allegedly in search 34 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 3: of undocumented immigrants. 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: Local and national protests around the operation have greatly escalated 36 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: after the two recent fatal shootings by ICE officials. On 37 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: January seventh, Renee Good, a thirty seven year old US 38 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: citizen and mother, was shot and killed by a US 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE agents, and then again on 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: January twenty fourth, Alex Pretty, also thirty seven, and an 41 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: ICU nurse, was fatally shot. It feels very important to 42 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: us to say their names and find out what we 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: can do to help where we can. And so this 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: leads us into today, and we are so lucky and 45 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: grateful to have both Ricardo and Jamie here with us. 46 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: Hi, guys, welcome Should I be saying welcome back? And 47 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: by the way, don't be shy to talk. I know 48 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: everybody was don't talk over each other. 49 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 4: But we're being so good not talking over each other 50 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: that it's the most boring silent zoom call. Hi. 51 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 5: Happy to be here. Yeah, thanks for having us back. Yeah, 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 5: absolutely so. 53 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: I mean I was going to explain to Andrea and 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: Emerson also that like Ricardo and James, both of us 55 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: and we kind of keep in touch, like we text 56 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: each other often. And so of course when everything started 57 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: happening in Minneapolis, I immediately thought of both of you, 58 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: because Ricardo, you're actually there on the ground, living there now, 59 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: and James, you have lived there for many years after 60 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: Desperate Housewives, and I would imagine a lot of your 61 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: family and friends and maybe even you still have a 62 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: house there. Can you Why don't we start with I mean, 63 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: since Ricardo, since you're there, do you want to just 64 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: you know, I tell us what's in your point of view, 65 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: what's happening, what you're witnessing, what you're feeling, and I 66 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: think ultimately what people who are out of state, out 67 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: of the country, fans of yours can do to help. 68 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 5: Wow. Okay, so I've been pretty active as best I can. 69 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 5: I went out to a couple of different marches. Recently. 70 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: I did the Lake Street protests that were lining the 71 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 5: street from Lake Bedema Costa, which used to formerly be 72 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 5: Lake Calhoun, all the way to the Lake Street Bridge. 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 5: I don't think that they were that successful with it 74 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 5: because it was a Wednesday night, but there were points 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 5: of contacts, so like at Lake and Bloomington, at Lake 76 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 5: and at Lake and Lyndale, these are very major intersections. 77 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 5: Those intersections were very full, so that was good. And 78 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 5: I was at Lake in Bloomington because that's specifically at 79 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: Latino part of the community. I wanted to be there 80 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 5: just for that. A lot of people out there protesting, 81 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: a lot of I got some video, Terry. I think 82 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: I sent you some of that video. I've also been 83 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 5: trying to do just like little things, and it really 84 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 5: started with you know, there was that big, beautiful march 85 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 5: that happened from US Bank all the way to Target 86 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 5: Center with twenty five thousand people in like negative ten 87 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 5: degree weather, and it was just like it was so peaceful. 88 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 5: These were not people that were paid. These were not 89 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 5: paid protesters, Okay, I mean that would have been a 90 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 5: shit ton of money twenty some one thousand people. So 91 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 5: and these are not paid agitators. These are people that 92 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 5: live in this community, that work in this community, that 93 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: reside in this community, that are fed up with what 94 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 5: is going on and are tired and are willing to 95 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 5: put themselves out there to let it be known that 96 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: we don't want this occupation here anymore. So that was 97 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 5: a beautiful day. And then Saturday morning, you have getting 98 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 5: shot and I woke up to that. I woke up 99 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 5: to my neighbors sending me the text, and I was 100 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 5: just like, wow, Renee Good had gotten shot, and so 101 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 5: I was like, what is just You're like, what is happening? 102 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 5: What is going on? And then my neighbors are like, 103 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: they're saying for everybody to get out on as many 104 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 5: street corners as possible in protest. And so we did 105 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 5: that in our neighborhood over here in like Columbia Heights 106 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: and Northeast, And I mean we started with four people 107 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 5: by the time we finished, we had about fifteen to 108 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 5: twenty people out there in the street corner, and people 109 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 5: were honking. I mean, there were so many people that 110 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 5: were honking. I mean there are also people who were 111 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: giving us the finger. I think my absolute favorite one 112 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 5: was this little old lady that drove by and gave 113 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 5: me the finger wag of shame.

Is 123 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: not a political show. And and I'm not a political expert, 124 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: although I don't. I think I'm a smart person, and 125 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: I think I'm a reasonable person, and I and I 126 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: you know, so I think I count as much to 127 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: discuss and tear apart like trying to figure out what 128 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: is happening as anybody.

So it's not super progressive. 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 4: I think Tim Wallas is one of the reasons that 156 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: that Trump is picking on it. 157 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 6: And it's also the humong and Somali populations. 158 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 4: They are a lot of Somali immigrants, and I think 159 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 4: because they're brown, you know, they're easy to spot and 160 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 4: pick because Minnesota is pretty lily white, so it's easy 161 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: to find these people for them and to target them. 162 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 6: And it's really horrible. 163 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: But people think about Minnesota as being you know, Mondale Humphrey, 164 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 4: and it's very purple, and there's plenty of people that 165 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: are far right maga people, so it's it's kind of 166 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: a hot button place right now, which I never would 167 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 4: have thought of, you know, just a few years ago. 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: I want to jump in and say that, you know, 169 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about the protests, and obviously over the last 170 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: twelve plus years there have been so many protests and 171 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: it feels like one of the things we can do, 172 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: but it often feels like not enough of something to do. 173 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: But we see these signs all over social media and 174 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: the internet, and there's so many beautiful sentiments that people 175 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: are holding up, and I think one of the ones 176 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: I've seen recently that really struck me as a succinct 177 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: way to talk about what's happened is it's the Sign. 178 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: And I'm sure you all saw it that said, if 179 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: you're not heartbroken for America right now, then you don't 180 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: love her enough. And I thought that is a really 181 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: beautiful way to state something that should be bipartisan, right, 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: because if you are politically active at all, if you 183 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: are passionate, whatever your political affiliation is, it should be 184 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: rooted in a love of country, right and the hope 185 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: that America can be the best it can be. And 186 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: I feel like we can all look around and acknowledge 187 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: that this is so far from the best that we 188 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: can be. This cannot be the best. And so I 189 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: thought that that statement was a really good example of saying, 190 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: this is what These are the conversations we need to 191 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: be having, because yes it is political, and yes there 192 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: is a giant divide, but shouldn't we all be trying 193 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: to live in a country that we can stand proudly 194 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: behind and this can't be it. 195 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: You're exactly right, and it's anything. 196 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 4: You read by An Applebaum is a great author as 197 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 4: far as autocracy books about you know, the slippery slope 198 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: and with the way it happens, and you know, you 199 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 4: change the refs, which are the Supreme Court judges, and 200 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: then you ignore the guard rails and all those things. 201 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: And there's a certain amount of tolerance that's that's imperative. 202 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: And when you have any kind of a republican representation 203 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: or democracy where you have to legitimately believe the other 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: side is human and they have a right to do 205 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,119 Speaker 4: their thing and they're gonna win sometimes, and that tolerance 206 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 4: is just completely gone. 207 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 6: And and you know, I am. 208 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: A prejudice and that I have ended up on the 209 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: left side as I was born and raised Republican. I think, Terry, 210 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: you might have been raised conservative too, are you. Yeah, 211 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 4: and the party just has disappeared. But so yeah, I'm 212 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: a little biased now on that side. But it's frustrating 213 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: that my friends that are still very conservative Republicans and 214 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 4: Trump supporters seem like they don't want there's no tolerance. 215 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 4: That we're these horrible, these sort of caricature cardboard cutouts 216 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: that they've been presented on from Fox News. 217 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 6: And I hope I'm not being too tough, but it's 218 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 6: it's it's the truth. 219 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: And then they they And so it's been tough because 220 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 4: I can't even have a conversation anymore. And uh and 221 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: obviously that's a that's not a great place for to start. 222 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 5: You know, I wasn't raised conservative. I mean, my my 223 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 5: father my mother were met uh you know, they were 224 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 5: They both joined the Peace Corps in the sixties. My 225 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 5: father to avoid Vietnam, my mother to find something better 226 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: for herself. I mean when they came back stateside, they 227 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 5: both marched with Caesar Javas in Crystal City, you know, 228 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 5: in the early seventies. My father was was one of 229 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 5: the members of the La La Rossa you need a party, 230 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 5: So you know, this is this is something that for me, 231 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 5: it was like, this is this is a no brainer. 232 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 5: I go out there and I do this, you know. 233 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 5: And I think the thing is is some people say, well, 234 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 5: you don't you don't want to do that. Well, I'm 235 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 5: not putting myself right there at ground zero. You know. 236 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 5: I have you know, I have things that obligations, and 237 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: I have children, I have this kind of stuff. But 238 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 5: I think that it's important that and and look, man, 239 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 5: I am Terry, you and I talked about this. I'm 240 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 5: not trying to do this so that people pay attention 241 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 5: to me and so that I'm getting likes. And it's like, dude, 242 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 5: I don't If I can come up with an idea 243 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: or if I could put my face out there and 244 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 5: it provides a solution, that's all that That's all that 245 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 5: matters at this point, you know what I mean? And 246 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 5: I and I and I really truly believe I think 247 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 5: more people like bigger names, bigger faces, with bigger voices 248 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 5: and bigger platforms need to put themselves out there. I mean, 249 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 5: we're at that point where it's like it's it is 250 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: a necessity, like my thought I saw and I did 251 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 5: this little reel about it for for Instagram, But it 252 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 5: was you know, the the NBA canceled the game te 253 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 5: Wolves versus the Golden State Warriors on the day that 254 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 5: Freddie was shot. Now they just moved it a day. 255 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 5: But it's like, why not go further with that? Why 256 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 5: not start canceling games in general? Why don't you guys 257 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 5: get you guys are massive leaders within these communities that 258 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 5: you that you represent, your teams represent. You know, It's like, 259 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 5: are we just and and we have an economic relationship. 260 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 5: You know, you guys rely on us to buy tickets 261 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 5: and support your teams. You know, come on, get out 262 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 5: here with us, get out here with your community. Sorry, 263 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: that's it. 264 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: I agree with you on a lot of points you 265 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: just suggested. I mean, I think it's tricky whether you're 266 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: famous or not. I think there's a you know, there's 267 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: a question of if you're obligated to speak out or 268 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: you know, if there's a place for you to be 269 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: holding space and support in some private way. 270 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 7: You know. 271 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: I try not to be too judgmental about that. I 272 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: also feel like it can be exhaustive for people to 273 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: have the sense of wanting to be able to do 274 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: something and not being able to know what to do. 275 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you even have a lot of push right 276 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: now with the call your senator and tell them not 277 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: to fund ice, which is a great idea. But Alex 278 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: Padilla in California is very clearly a left supporting you 279 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like like I can call him, 280 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: but it's and I will and and but I don't know, 281 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: you know that that probably isn't the thing that's going 282 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: to make a difference, because he's already not supporting ICE, 283 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: and he's already been out there very clearly about it. 284 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 5: On my side, my two senator is because I still 285 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 5: you know, my my my homestead is Texas. So my 286 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 5: two senators are John Corny and Ted Cruz. I mean, really, 287 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 5: you think they're going to listen to anything I say 288 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 5: about defunding ICE. 289 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: You know, But although although that would be the senator, 290 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: when you have that connection, that's the senator that is 291 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: the important call to make. 292 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, just I want to jump in and just say 293 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: that in terms of calling your senators, this does especially 294 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 3: matter if you are in a red state. And if 295 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 3: you're thinking about if you're a listener of ours and 296 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: you're thinking about calling your senator, the national switchboard is 297 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: the number is two zero two two two four three 298 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: one two one two zero two two two four three 299 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: one two one. 300 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 7: And you can look this up to it. 301 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: Like I mean, I understand it can feel like potentially 302 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: it's not that useful if you're in a blue state. 303 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: But I do think that there is power in numbers, 304 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: certainly if you're in a purple state or a red state. 305 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: And also right now, with specific regard to Minnesota, it 306 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 3: feels worth mentioning that you can look up stand with 307 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: Minnesota dot com for a whole host of local organizations 308 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 3: and aid groups that are accepting donation right now, in 309 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: addition to if you're able to get out there on 310 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: an actual street corner. 311 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 5: I was just going to say, so, I had a 312 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 5: friend of mine, I'm really tied in with the theater 313 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 5: community over here, and I feel, like I said, again, 314 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 5: I've got the imposter syndrome where I've only been here 315 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 5: for three years.

I wanted to tell our audience, 335 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: not because again, like you, I'm not really about telling 336 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 2: people what I do or what I don't do in 337 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: some sort of, you know, boastful way, but something people 338 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 2: know who listen to this podcast, they know my love 339 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: of food. They know how every time we've done an episode, 340 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: I'm making peanut brittle or you know whatever, you know, 341 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 2: fried chicken or whatever it is. And so I went 342 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: and found a couple of ways to adopt restaurants in Minneapolis, 343 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: because what happens is people are afraid to go out, 344 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 2: and so therefore small businesses are not getting their normal revenue. 345 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 2: And so that's something else you can do and will 346 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: include all of this stuff. But I think, as I 347 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 2: was going back to saying, I think sometimes I wasn't 348 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 2: trying to any way belittle the calling the senators move, 349 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: even if you do live in a blue state, because 350 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: I agree with you Emerson, numbers matter. But you know 351 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: when you can actually put money in somebody's pocket, When 352 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: when that you know, in real time it will be effectual, 353 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: that that feels good to be generous to help people. 354 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 2: Like that's going back to what you said, Andrew. I mean, 355 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to cry now because it's just like I 356 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: don't understand, Like I listen to you say that list 357 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: of people in need and organizations that it's really great 358 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: to hear you say at Ricardo, because I think sometimes 359 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: people don't trust if an organization is vetted or whatever, 360 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: and it's nice to hear it right from you, So 361 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: thank you for that. But like you make it sound like, 362 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: you know, like a war zone, and that's and that's 363 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 2: that is what it is. And we've done this to ourselves, 364 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: the federal government, the people who elected these people, like 365 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: we've done this to ourselves, and it's just insane to 366 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: me that we can't get past the politics in order 367 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: to just see the humanity. 368 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 5: I'd like I'd like to share something very personal, if 369 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 5: I may so Rene Good was shot. My son was 370 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 5: up here with me. We did a fishing trip right 371 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 5: after that, went up to northern Minnesota, then came back. 372 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 5: I went away into the short film in Vegas and 373 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 5: then I got back here. So it's gone for about 374 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 5: a week. The day that she was shot. And first off, 375 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 5: I have a very large white Chevy truck Okay, with 376 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 5: very dark tinted windows and Texas plates. So the day 377 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 5: that she was shot, we were driving on Central near 378 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 5: my house and a woman looked at my truck, scowled 379 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 5: and picked up her phone and took a photo. Since 380 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 5: I've been back in the past week, I've been actively 381 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 5: followed seven times. I've had multiple people give me the 382 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: finger and dirty looks as I'm driving, and have videotape 383 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 5: or taken pictures of my truck. My neighbors have gotten 384 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 5: my truck a picture of it as well as the 385 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 5: plates and given it to all the active observers and 386 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 5: volunteers in the area so that they know that my 387 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 5: truck is a safe truck. But I mean, like literally, 388 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 5: just yesterday I had somebody I saw the car, I 389 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 5: saw him look and he turned and followed me and 390 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 5: followed me all the way home, I had to flag 391 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 5: him down and be like, I see what you're doing. 392 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 5: I totally understand it. I absolutely support it. And it's 393 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 5: my misfortune that this is my vehicle right now given 394 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 5: the state of affairs. But I am not ice, and 395 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 5: I just want you to know that, okay, And and 396 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 5: and I look, look I'm fine with that, and I 397 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 5: really am. But it's like, this is what's going on, 398 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 5: this is where we're at. That like the state of Minnesota, 399 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 5: the city of Minneapolis, if you're driving a car that 400 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 5: looks like an ice vehicle with dark tinted windows or 401 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 5: with out of state plates, people are actively watching you, 402 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 5: writing your license plate down, creating a list and finding 403 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 5: out and yes, absolutely good, absolutely good.

Donate to you know, any kind of 488 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: candidate that you believe in, even if they're Republican. There 489 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 4: are good Republican candidates. I mean, there are good candidates 490 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: all across the board. But work and vote and flip 491 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 4: the House. Because once the House is flipped, then of 492 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 4: course you'll have Trump will be impeached. May not be removed, 493 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 4: of course, but at least it will check it. You know, 494 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 4: Christy Nolan will be impeached. They can start, We'll have 495 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 4: some voice, you know. And I'm not for smoke screening 496 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 4: and like rampant impeachment, but there's got to be some 497 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 4: guardrails have to be thrown up, and we can do that. 498 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 6: We can do that in the. 499 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: Midterms and do what we're doing here, which is talking 500 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: to each other. I know that in this space we 501 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: all feel very much aligned. But continuing to try, even 502 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: though it feels impossible, it's certainly challenging to engage in 503 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: conversations with people who feel like they are not aligned 504 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: with you. But we have to. And I know that 505 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: we all struggle with feeling like you know, with our 506 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: podcast and with our platform and things like that. We 507 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: certainly don't want to come across performative at all, which 508 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: is what can happen. And I know we've even touched 509 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: on that here in this conversation. But it doesn't matter 510 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: what you do. It doesn't matter in this case that 511 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: we're actors, or that we know each other from a 512 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: TV show or that we have a podcast. We're having 513 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: this conversation because we're citizens of this country, because we care, 514 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: because we're people, And it doesn't matter if that conversation 515 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: is happening across your fence line with your neighbor, or 516 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: at your dinner table, or at your supermarket or on 517 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: a podcast. Have these conversations. We have to be talking 518 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: to each other. 519 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: Can I ask, like just a tiny bit tangentially for again, 520 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: I think the benefit of many people who might be 521 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: listening to us that obviously this is heavy and hard 522 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: and exhausting, and you know, it pulls the life out 523 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: of you. The emotions some people are so sensitive and 524 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: they're just paralyzed. And I'm wondering maybe to start with you, Ricardo, 525 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: since it sounds like this coffee, even something that small, 526 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: is sort of a good example of this, but like, 527 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: what can people do to take care of themselves and 528 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: each other in times in the world where this is 529 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: what's in front of us? 530 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 5: You know up here? One thing that I've learned in 531 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 5: this beautiful state that is Minnesota, the one thing that 532 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 5: they still value is they value the concept of being 533 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 5: a good neighbor. And I think that that's something that's like, 534 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 5: you know, whether it's the person that's right next to 535 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 5: you or the person that's in front of you in line, 536 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 5: or just just to show that that that sense of 537 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 5: kindness and also that sense of wanting to be neighborly 538 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 5: by saying just a simple hire Hello.
