1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: All media. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 3: As you may know, last week, Elias Rodriguez, thirty one 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 3: years old, shout at Free Palestine as he was arrested 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: after popping two young workers at the Israeli consulate last week, 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 3: and the couple was about to be engaged. They were 7 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: involved in working again in the Israeli Consulate while leaving 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: the Jewish Museum. Now, conventional knowledge and basic common sense 9 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: would say, these acts are indefensible, and I'm not here 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: to defend them. I'm here to echo doctor King. So 11 00:00:53,240 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: tapping with me today, I want to talk about radicalization, 12 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: and I want to talk about it in a very 13 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: careful way, because these events like this oftentimes become not 14 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: so much a product of what happened, but a product 15 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 3: of how you view what happened, and then we miss 16 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: actually what's really going on here. This is one of 17 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: those very few yes and moments. Yes, Sarah and Yarin 18 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: were taken from us in cold blood. That they are 19 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: two young people who have not directly pulled any particular trigger, 20 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 3: who just happened to be a part of a community, 21 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: and who knows what their hearts and minds felt about 22 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: the barrage of violence put on by their community. Who 23 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: knows if there's truly any anti Semitism in the heart 24 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 3: of Elias Rodriguez, who knows? And six figures worth of 25 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: children who also have not pulled any particular trigger, families 26 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: being currently purposefully starved. See I think it's very important 27 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: to say that Gaza is not facing starvation. Gaza is 28 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 3: being starved. And as we spoke of earlier this week 29 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: on the Wednesday show, the Narcissists reveals their cards. This 30 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: is an ethnic cleansing. This is an ethnic cleansing. This 31 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: is a forcible removal. Either die or go somewhere else. 32 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: This is and Hamas is your cover. This, my friends, 33 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 3: my folks, my camp folk, is why you need research 34 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: and experts, because the research and the experts have consistently 35 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: proven what all of our I see and if you 36 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: are anywhere within a ten mile radius of my age 37 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 3: experienced with your own eyes. The fact is, state sponsored 38 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 3: violence creates radicalization, the feelings of hopelessness when the balance 39 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: of power is so askewed, the depth of despair and destruction. 40 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: Throw a rock anywhere in the Middle East at any 41 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: organized what we in the West call terrorist groups. Now 42 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: I'm not even just gonna say the West, because people 43 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: who live in those environments would say the same thing. 44 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: These terrorists were not always that. These were people who 45 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: are watching either their own government or the homies of 46 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: the government wipe out any possibility for their future. 47 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: What choice would anyone have? 48 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: Is that not? 49 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: I mean what we call militia and freedom fighters, That's 50 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: the name we called them when they American. I bring 51 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: up Doctor King because Doctor King, which I've said many 52 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: times and I just want to remind you of when 53 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: talking about the Watts riots, he described Watts as a 54 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: powder keg. You can only beat on people for so 55 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: long it is going to turn them into an insurgent force. 56 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: Inevitably all over the planet. This continues to happen. You 57 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 3: either turn the neutral citizens who actually see these insurgents 58 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: as just another gang. When I see the army roll 59 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: in here and just wipe out entire villages, and then 60 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: I see this insurgent force say something like, do you 61 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: want them to stop? Will let us fight them? I'd like, 62 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: you are going you turn me into their hands. These 63 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 3: are the predictions of almost every humanitarian organization since October seventh. 64 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: They were trying to tell Israel, be careful how you respond. 65 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: Less you turn your allies into enemies, less you multiply 66 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: the forces of Hamas. But don't nobody listen to people 67 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: that are actually outside help and do that. Now this 68 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: might sound like victim blame me, but it's really not, 69 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: because again, I don't know who Sarah and Yarn is. 70 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: We don't know the types of things that they're working on, 71 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: or at least I don't know. But that's not the 72 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: point I'm trying to give you. The point I'm trying 73 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: to give you is radicalization plays on different levels. 74 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: Here. 75 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: We're not talking about logic. We're talking about a hijacked amygdala. 76 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: We're talking about fight or flight. We're talking about the 77 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: very sense of identity of emotions. See, it really helps 78 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: me by being a part of this network here for 79 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: me to really understand even how radicalized far right gets to. 80 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 3: Where they get to whether true or not they feel 81 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: an existential threat, your prefrontal cortex gets turned off in 82 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 3: a way that some might call insanity but others might 83 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: just call survival. Lastly, I'd like to recommend a book. 84 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: It's called Hate in the Homeland. It's written by Cynthia 85 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: Miller Idris. Now you might recognize the last name Idris 86 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: because we interviewed Shamo Idres, who is the CEO of 87 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: Search for Common Ground. So this is a power couple 88 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 3: in a way that none of y'all could even imagine. 89 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: She is the four absolute expert in far right radical 90 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: terrorism in Western countries. She is the person who testified 91 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: in front of our government that showed the research to 92 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: prove that the biggest threat of terrorism in America is 93 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: from far right extremists. And she walks you through their 94 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 3: recruiting process us, what's going on emotionally, the stories they 95 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: believe about themselves, and the existential threat that they experience. Now, 96 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 3: the difference between these people in this book and the 97 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: situations we talk about is, in a lot of ways, 98 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: these far rights people's genocide is imagined. The citizens of Gaza, 99 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: that's not imagined. That's really happening, and it's in front 100 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: of the world's eyes. My hope would be that our 101 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: hope is that violence stops, period, whether it's action or reaction. 102 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: I would hope that we would hope it would all end. 103 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: But my request to man, this is a hard request, 104 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: but I feel like from one marginalized people group to another. 105 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm standing on pretty solid ground to 106 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: address this. It is deeply heinous and incredibly sinister to 107 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: watch the sources of our oppression, people who cause it, 108 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: use our oppression and weaponize it for their own game. 109 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: And this is what seems to. 110 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: Be clearly happening with anti Semitism, because anti Semitism is 111 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: in fact real, some people just be hating Jews. 112 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: Now. 113 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: While this might not be a one to one because 114 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: I can't ever imagine the government actually using anti blackness 115 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 3: for their own game because they just really don't like us, 116 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 3: but I can say I can't tell you how deeply 117 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: grieved and frustrated I feel when I am witnessing in 118 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: my own eyes a person of color, specifically a black person, 119 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: being used to further the gains of power by our 120 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: oppressive state. 121 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: What of canvas. 122 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: This may seem like a silly example, but I would 123 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: say Drake is one of those. Why we felt so 124 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: deeply about him not being like us was his one 125 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: line that he thought was a bar when he said, Kendrick, 126 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: you rap like you trying to free the slaves, Because 127 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: what that sounds like is you want to send chains 128 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: to respond to a battle rap with a lawsuit against 129 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: another black man while we were trying to just have 130 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: a sporting. 131 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: Event that you started. 132 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: No less is in some ways, you as a black 133 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: man going to the Massa and saying you need to 134 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: punish this other black man because he not treated me fairly. 135 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: Excuse me, sir, do you understand how oppression works? You 136 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: might score a win this time. It was crazy about 137 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 3: that particular situation. As Massa said, man, shut your ass up. 138 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: Boyd you benefit from this too, So close your mouth. 139 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: But there might be a short term win right now 140 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: with the United States government using anti Semitism as a 141 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: cover for this fascist takeover. 142 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: That they're doing. 143 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: You might get some short term wins right now. But 144 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: I could tell you as a person of color, I 145 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: could tell you as a black man, I could tell you, 146 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: as a person that's part of the African diaspora. 147 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: That's short money. 148 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: These oppressive states always go back to who they always are. 149 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: These people do not love you. 150 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: So while I mourn the loss of those two young souls, 151 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: I can do that and also be absolutely outraged by 152 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: the actions of the Nation of Israel. 153 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: And you should too. It's not that complicated. 154 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 3: But as a student of history, as a hood politician, 155 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: that I hope y'all all are. If y'all't know anything, 156 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 3: you should notice here's exhibit Q. State sponsored violence creates terrorism. 157 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: Just tap in with me, actually tap into this new 158 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 3: song that's coming out on my new record that's kind 159 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: of around the idea of how a person becomes radicalized, 160 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: which is going on in Syria right now, literally literally 161 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: right now. Syria has in detention centers the children and 162 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: families of the Isis folks that they captured and as 163 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: Syria changed their regime, and the longer than. 164 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: Kids staying there, watch all right. 165 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 4: On me. 166 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: There was blood on the streets, brains on the side, Dwark, 167 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: body talks, the tideless phone as we speak, the bounce 168 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: stop as we speak, the body count ride because each 169 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: week blood on the streets, brains on the side, dwalk 170 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: the inside.
