Oh, he was in there when I 59 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 6: tell you he was in there, But I think he 60 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 6: made us six minutes because Toronto is the six.

He 67 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: was fined in that case nine thousand dollars for violating 68 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the courts gag order. Nine thousand dollars. Yeah, but this 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: all happened on the heels of an interview he granted 70 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Time Magazine and which he said a whole lot of 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: wild stuff. He declared that if an election was in November, 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: or when the election is in November, he would bypass 73 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: the law and deploy US military to detain and deport migrants. 74 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 5: If he's elected, He hedged. 75 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: On the possibility of more political violence if he's erected. 76 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: He was basically saying his elected victory is inevitable. He 77 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: would also permit states to decide whether to prosecute those 78 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: who violate abortion bands. I can't even stress how dangerous 79 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: that is. So for everyone thinking this election won't impact you, 80 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: the GOP front runner is threatening to use the US 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: military for his political agenda. We're going to be talking 82 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: about that all through the show today, so stay tuned. 83 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: But here's what else we're talking about on the show 84 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: this week.

We like to 87 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: talk about things that are not being discussed. So we're 88 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: going to start with this. But if I told you 89 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: that hundreds of people, mostly black men, were being killed 90 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: in the most painful and gruesome ways and the government 91 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: was in on it, Yeah, it's a true story.

We 178 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 6: need the same kind of energy for DEI and some 179 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 6: other things like let folks know what you need to 180 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 6: see so that people feel like they can be powerful 181 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 6: and fighting. We also talked about some things on this 182 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 6: podcast about what's happening in states and the kind of 183 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 6: ads we want to see. Keep those kind of pieces coming. 184 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 6: If we know that our ideas are being heard and 185 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 6: we start to see them being made manifest even what's 186 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: happening with the marijuana pardons are changing it from a 187 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,119 Speaker 6: scheduled one drug. You know what I'm trying say, reclassified 188 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 6: from schedule one to Schedule three. That's major. I know 189 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 6: it's not recreational, but it's still major. And so how 190 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 6: can we, yeah, how can we lift up some of 191 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 6: those things so that folks feel a little more hope 192 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 6: filled and hopeful. And I mean with Sean, but I understand, yeah, 193 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 6: I want to make sure I understand. 194 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Vice President Harris. I know, Angela, you mentioned the whole 195 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: Mama Wad thing. If you guys can stay after, we 196 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: should do a mini pod on that. If you guys 197 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: are free to do that. 198 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 6: I'm gonna make time. I'm gonna reclaim my time on 199 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 6: that podcast. 200 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 5: One thing that frustrates me. 201 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: I have to tell you guys, the echo chambers cover 202 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: two or three things a day, and there's so much 203 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: more happening. And this is something that happened that I've 204 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: referenced on the show that I want to just tell 205 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: people about the hundreds of black men being killed in 206 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: the most heinous of ways. In an analysis of more 207 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: than fourteen hundred lethal injection executions conducted in the US, 208 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: for the past forty two years. A new study shows 209 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: that states made significantly more mistakes during the execution of 210 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: black people than they did with prisoners of any other races. 211 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: I want you all to take a listen to what 212 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: happened when these botched executions take place, and remember this 213 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: disproportionately impacts Black men. 214 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 5: Take a listen. 215 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 9: To keep the prisoner from feeling any pain, executioners would 216 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 9: administer three drugs. First, they would inject something to knock 217 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 9: the person unconscious, usually an anesthetic or sedative. Second comes 218 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 9: some sort of paralytic meant to cease all movement in 219 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 9: the body, and finally, a drug to stop the heart, 220 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 9: usually potassium chloride. But here's something that shocked us while 221 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 9: researching this piece. The man responsible for coming up with 222 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 9: a three drug cocktail. He says he acted on a hunch. 223 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 9: By his own admission, Doctor A. J. Chapman, did no 224 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 9: research before coming up with the idea, and Chapman later 225 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 9: admitted he was quote an expert in dead bodies, but 226 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 9: not an expert in getting them that way. We may 227 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 9: have been sold the myth of the painless execution, but 228 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 9: many people on death row know how painful it could be, 229 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 9: so some prisoners have asked to be killed a different way. 230 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 9: The vast majority of execustions for the last forty years 231 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 9: have used lethal injection, but other methods are still on 232 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 9: the books, like electrocution, which one medical examiner said essentially 233 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 9: cooks the brain. Still some said they would prefer that 234 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 9: execution method because the electric chair usually takes around two 235 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 9: minutes to kill someone. Lethal injection has taken over two 236 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 9: hours in some cases. 237 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: All right, I was horrified when I heard this, And 238 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: the problem is because of a very punishing criminal justice system. 239 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: The amount of black men that are sent to death row. 240 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: In Louisiana, the odds of a death sentence were ninety 241 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: seven percent higher for a black men whose victim was white. 242 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: And in Oklahoma, a study found that cases with white 243 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: female victims, cases with white male victims, in cases with 244 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: minority female victims are more likely to end with the 245 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: death sentence in Oklahoma with none white male victims. So 246 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: I just when looking at this, I was mortified. I 247 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: read this in The Times a couple of weeks ago, 248 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: and it just occurred to me. I don't even know 249 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: how you all feel about it. So Angelin, Andrew, are 250 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: you all I don't know where you stand on the 251 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: death penalty. Do you think it's something that should happen. 252 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 6: I I've never been for the death penalty. 253 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: I think that. 254 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 6: You put yourself in the shoes of God when you 255 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 6: take someone's life, and so I just I don't support it. 256 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 6: I think what's remarkable to me are the folks who 257 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 6: are allegedly pro life or anti choice, who are very 258 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 6: gung ho death penalty, almost like aggressively so and that 259 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 6: hypocrisy has always been, you know, really interesting to me 260 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: that once the person gets here, you no longer care 261 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 6: about how they live or if they live. So, yeah, 262 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 6: I don't. I don't support the death penalty. I certainly 263 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 6: understand when you have some situations where you know, it's 264 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 6: hard to look at someone or see someone living if 265 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 6: they've taken the life of your loved one, But I 266 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 6: just I don't I can't do it. Yeah, I don't 267 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 6: know what I would do if, you know, face it, 268 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 6: like in a situation of self defense or something like that. 269 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 6: But the death penalty, sentencing someone to death is not 270 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 6: my choice, and I don't think it should be any 271 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 6: of ours. 272 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Andrew, what about you? 273 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I've evolved on this one because you know, 274 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 3: when I was younger, it was if someone did something 275 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: to my mother, I'd want to kill them, you know. 276 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 3: And now that I'm a you know, a husband or 277 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 3: a dad the three kids, I think, Man, if somebody 278 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: you don't got to kill them, if you you know, 279 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: if you do something that traumatizes them in such a way, 280 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: you touch them, you do you know, you you know, 281 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 3: you can imagine the scenarios in which you just want 282 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: to wrap your hands around somebody and bring them to heal. 283 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: But you know, the beauty is is That's why I 284 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: wouldn't be a jury rists in my and a trial 285 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: that involved one of my children right or one of 286 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: my relatives who I care about and love deeply. And 287 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: an evolved system, you would think that people would be 288 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: able to look at these things and and and even 289 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: for the families who have seen the aggressor put to 290 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: death for what they did in violation of their loved ones, 291 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: they don't feel any more complete at the end of 292 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 3: the day. They don't feel any more healed, they don't 293 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: feel any more hole, they don't feel any more reconciled. 294 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: They don't feel like there was an eye for an eye. 295 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: There is no justice in that once you take my 296 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: love loved one's life, and I think the reverse also 297 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: has to be true. That being said, when I ran 298 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: for governor, I did come out against the death penalty. 299 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: I still am today against it. But for me, it 300 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: was an evolution. I think I was thinking with my 301 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: you know under you know, not most matured mind about it. Right, 302 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: It was retribution. It was if you've come from me, 303 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: we come for you. And in an evolved system of justice, 304 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: I think we've got to we've got to figure out 305 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: as a society how to get beyond it. But you're 306 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: you're reporting on this Tiffany with regard to the disproportionate 307 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 3: application of the death penalty as a sentence when when 308 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: black folks sit in its crosshairs. Think about the number 309 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 3: of black folks who have been sentenced to death and 310 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: weren't even appropriately found guilty, like you know, they've been 311 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: adjudicated through you know, the Innocence Project or organizations like 312 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 3: that that are out there to to to make sure 313 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: that if you put someone on death row, you better 314 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: make sure, make sure, make sure, make sure, double check, 315 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 3: make sure that you've got the right person. And unfortunately, 316 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: if you execute someone that's irreversible, you can't take that back. Yeah, 317 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: uh so, and always I think we are impacted, and 318 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: I think we're impacted and get the short end of 319 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: the string on that one every time, and sentencing and 320 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: the application of when the death penalty gets ascribed to you, 321 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: and then obviously in the carrying out of the death penalty, 322 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: which you've highlighted here. 323 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 324 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, black and Latino men make up 325 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: fifty thirty one percent of the population and make up 326 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,359 Speaker 1: fifty three percent of death row inmates. So it's outrageous 327 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: to see that this is happening. And I think you know, 328 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the prison population is often overlooked and not talked about. 329 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: And so we just want you all to know your 330 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: loved ones who listen to us, that our brothers and 331 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: sisters in prison, you are not forgotten about here at 332 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: Native Land. Welcome home y'all if you do get to listen. 333 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: And just you know, we want y'all to know that 334 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: y'all on our hearts and we acknowledge your existence because 335 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: you matter. But this is right on topic with another 336 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: report that came out this week about police swelling their 337 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: ranks yet again. More police officers were hired in twenty 338 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: twenty three than in any previous four years, and fewer 339 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: officers overall resigned or retired. This is all according to 340 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: the two hundred and fourteen law enforcement agencies that responded 341 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: to a survey giving their numbers. And I bring this 342 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: up because pendulum swing and this one is swinging again. 343 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: And just because it's not a breaking news banter where 344 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: we were seeing our blood spattered across TV screens every 345 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: few minutes, does not mean that these types of violence 346 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: aggression towards black people specifically aren't happening. We certainly see 347 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: it happening on college campuses, which we'll get into. But 348 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: if you guys, I want you to listen to what 349 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: police are facing. We actually hear from the Palm Springs 350 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: police Chief Andrew Wells, and he talks about like basically 351 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: what he's hiring. 352 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 5: So take a listen and we'll talk about it. On 353 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 5: the other side, this was. 354 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 10: A horribly tremendous experience over the last few years where 355 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 10: you had COVID, the uncertainty of whether or not you're 356 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 10: going to come home because of that, and then real 357 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 10: and that right into a lot of social unrest. I 358 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 10: think that they're looking for, or that community where they 359 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 10: see support. 360 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 9: He says, policing in twenty twenty three is a tougher 361 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 9: job than it's ever been, as officers are expected to 362 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 9: deal with social issues such as mental illness and homelessness. 363 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 10: Right now, the police are the only ones here to 364 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 10: handle things that are incompany on all society. And I've 365 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 10: got a twenty four year old kid with a BA 366 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 10: degree or maybe a high school education, trying to solve 367 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 10: problems that PhDs can't solve. 368 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: So this is I think what we're seeing a lot 369 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: of across the country now with this overly pronounced police 370 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: force on college campuses. And this is not anything new, 371 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: do you guys, remember I police, forgive me if I 372 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: get this wrong. But there was a pool party somewhere 373 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: in Texas and this police officer ran and tackled this girl, 374 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: a teenage girl, like he was squaring off with a 375 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: linebacker and tackled her, a young black woman to the ground, 376 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: a young black girl to the ground. And I just 377 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: look at these statistics about police swelling their ranks, and 378 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: I just wonder, should this unrest end peacefully on college campuses. 379 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: That does not mean that this aggressive police increase is 380 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: going to end their tactics, So just want your. 381 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 3: Turfing on it. Yeah, yeah, Before you know, to go 382 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: back to the reporting, the reporter said that police are 383 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 3: dealing with issues that they haven't had to deal with before, 384 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 3: like homelessness and social unrest. Right as far as I 385 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: can remember, police officers, certainly in my community, we're dealing 386 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 3: with homelessness pre COVID back when you know, then two 387 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: thousand and three when I first ran for office, social issues. 388 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what the big difference is. The big 389 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: differences is there is greater accountability. 390 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 7: Now. 391 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 3: We saw in the George Floyd case, the first you know, 392 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 3: near first successful prosecution of law enforcement for the murder, 393 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 3: the senseless murder of George Floyd. We know that through 394 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: body worn cameras, through people taking footage. You know, anytime 395 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 3: they see law enforcement encountering citizens, that the pressure is 396 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: on them to actually live up to the high expectation 397 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: that should accompany any job where you have the ability 398 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 3: to take life and almost be unaccountable for having taken life, 399 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: right if you if you carry the power of God 400 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 3: on your waist belt. There ought to be cameras. There 401 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 3: ought to be accountability. You ought to be investigated upon 402 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: use of firing, of pulling, and obviously the execution of citizens. 403 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: In that regard, there's there's there's aside from the militaries, 404 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: there's there's no other place in civil society where we 405 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 3: give the power of an individual, a man, a woman, 406 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: a person to be judge, jury and executioners should they decide? 407 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 3: And so No, it isn't homelessness and social unrest. That's different, 408 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 3: and in creating demand, it is greater accountability and there 409 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: ought to be more of it. 410 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 8: Right. 411 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 3: The fact that we could name the cases in which 412 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: police officers have been accountable tells you enough that we're 413 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: not seeing enough accountability in the system when we can 414 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 3: name check them. I want to see a system where 415 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: it isn't name check, where it is routine that these 416 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: evaluations and systems of accountability kick into action. But I 417 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 3: don't buy that one read sin that what's different is 418 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: that we got a police homelessness now. 419 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: Yes, on site, Angela, you've dropped in our group chat. 420 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: This is a horrific interview with the former president. 421 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: I was just pulling it up. Yeah. 422 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 6: I think what is most unnerving to me is someone 423 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 6: who was elected as the law and order president running 424 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 6: for reelection now even though he can't obey a lot 425 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 6: or in order is talking about really wanting to see immunity, 426 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 6: not just for the January sixth insurrectionist in terrorists who 427 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 6: he also said that he would pardon, but also he 428 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 6: said that he wanted police officers to have immunity. And 429 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 6: that is really terrifying to me. Yeah, he wants them 430 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 6: to be immune from prosecution. That, of course is a lion, 431 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: you know, a lion's share beyond what has been the case, 432 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 6: which is they have some protection from being personally sued. 433 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 6: That has not We've been fighting for that to be 434 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 6: overturned for some time. But he wants them to be 435 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 6: immune from criminal liability. So if we use that, look 436 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 6: at an example that I know pricked the consciences of 437 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 6: many in this country with George Floyd. The officers who 438 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 6: were prosecuted for the murder of George Floyd that we 439 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 6: all saw on tape, they would not have been prosecuted 440 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 6: because they would be immune in their official capacity. That 441 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 6: is what Donald Trump is saying that he wants to do. 442 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 6: So for me, that makes me really nervous. Like we've 443 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 6: seen no matter who's in office, no matter who is 444 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 6: the president. Police officers who are rogue, who only protect 445 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 6: and serve some and shoot to kill others. And what 446 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 6: he's saying is I want to make it so that 447 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 6: they are not prosecuted. In some ways, they would say 448 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 6: dog whistle. I think that as many times as they say, 449 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 6: Donald Trump says the quiet part out loud. The fact 450 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 6: that there was ever a quiet part, right, and the 451 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 6: fact that you can now articulate it verbally is the 452 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 6: whole problem. 453 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 4: This should have never been the quiet part. 454 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 6: The quiet part should have always been challenged, and by 455 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 6: virtue of the fact that now he's not only saying 456 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 6: it loud, he's doing it loud. His actions are loud. 457 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 6: He is rogue, and he wants officers to be rogue. 458 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 6: I don't know what that means for this country. I 459 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 6: am not trying to be gloom and doom, but I 460 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 6: want people to know what's really at stake, and this 461 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 6: is severe and it's all in print on time. 462 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: It's hard not to be doom and gloom when you 463 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: read that the picture he paints in in this interview. 464 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: I thought the interviewer did a great job because he 465 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: was fact checking him in real time, and he said, 466 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: but mister President, violent crime has gone down, you know, 467 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: and this is a time of risking police swell their ranks. 468 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: And he's saying this is according to law enforcement, many 469 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: of whom support you, and Donald Trump says, Nope, I 470 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: don't believe it. That's not true. Another thing I think 471 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: we have to do that is from the FBI and 472 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: not the local and a lot of his supporters, by 473 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: the way, support abolishing the FBI if it is law 474 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: and order. President, by the way, But I you know 475 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: another thing that I think this may be a mini 476 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: pod because we also have to think about the future 477 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: of policing, right and how so as these agencies are 478 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: hiring more law or enforcement officers I was reading I 479 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: think from Reiters, they were saying how they're also spending 480 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: money on like more body cameras, which I think is good, 481 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: but also license plate readers, drones, thermal imaging, shot spotters, 482 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: investigative technologies, video surveillance, facial recognition technology. And when we 483 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: think about that in the ways that we are disproportionately 484 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: harmed by law enforcement, I mean, we're to me again, 485 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: I hear you, Angela. We don't want to be dooming gloom, 486 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: But we could be looking at a dystopian society, a 487 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: police state. We're people police have to your point, no 488 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: accountability and a president who also has no accountability. So 489 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: what does that mean for a peaceful transition of power? 490 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: What does that mean for a peaceful protest that happened? 491 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: What does that mean for people minding their own business 492 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: walking down the street, and like stopping frisk policies could 493 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: could re emerge. So it's it is frightening, It is 494 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: doom and gloom to me. 495 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 3: Well, I tell you the first of all, we we're 496 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 3: we're not unfamiliar with what it is to live in 497 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: a society where law enforcement gets to act without accountability 498 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 3: from its very beginning, by and large, you know, back 499 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 3: in you know, during the Western expansion toward California, you know, 500 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: you'd put you shaffs would put a badge on uh, 501 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 3: their their sibling or a friend so that they could 502 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: lawfully kill uh an enemy of theirs. Right, And so 503 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: it's not unfamiliar that this is this is where Trump 504 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 3: wants to take us back to where and more accountability 505 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 3: is attempting to be had for people in power who 506 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: have gone unchecked law enforcement being at the epicenter of that. 507 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 3: These folks are saying, hey, how do we get how 508 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: do we get to go out and do our job 509 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 3: when we got people pulling out cameras all the time. 510 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 3: You ever see these law enforcement folks who say put 511 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 3: away the phone, put down the phone. These are passer buyers. 512 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 3: Right in Eric Garner's case, we saw a similar situation. 513 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: Law enforcement turned their anger toward pedestrians, saying, put down 514 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: the phone, put down the phone. They don't want accountability. 515 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 3: And now what this man is attempting to do is 516 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: to introduce the lawful killing of civilians, to reintroduce the 517 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 3: lawful killing of civilians with again without any accountability whatsoever. 518 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 3: And then finally on this Tiff and Angela, do y'all 519 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: remember the good old days when people across political ideologies, 520 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: we're talking about the need for the de escalation of 521 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 3: law enforcement, the need to reform police departments so that 522 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 3: they weren't just you know, gun carriers, but that you 523 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 3: had folks who did civil patrol and traffic, You had 524 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 3: folks who were homeless and social workers, and that whole. 525 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 5: Complex. I giving the police force military equipment. 526 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look what we're going back to Yeah, well, 527 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: look at now what what he wants to throw back to, 528 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 3: But look at what. 529 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: We're seeing right now on these college campuses. I think 530 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: it will. I want to get into that because it 531 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: is hard to not address what has happened this week. 532 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: I do want to get into that because we the 533 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: violence that we have seen take place across these college 534 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: campuses has been just unimaginable, quite frankly, So we're going 535 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: to take a quick break. Pay some bills, but don't 536 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: go anywhere, because the three of us are going to 537 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: dive into some of the horrific scenes that we've all. 538 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 5: Bore witness to this week. So stay right there, We'll 539 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 5: be right back. 540 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: You have been born to York University in. 541 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 7: The Plaza. Now you will be arrested for trust use. 542 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 3: As the New York City. 543 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 7: You have. 544 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: From Loyola University in New Orleans to the University of 545 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: New Mexico to u c LA to Northwestern and Washington U. 546 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: Encampments have popped up on more than three dozen campuses 547 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: across this country, and the ubiquitous coverage of students and 548 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: faculty calling for a ceasefire and a divestment in Israel 549 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: shows support erupting across the nation and quite frankly across 550 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: the globe, which we'll get into when we talk about it. 551 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: But I'm curious to hear from you guys, what does 552 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: this mean one for upcoming graduations, which I know pales 553 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: in comparison when we're talking about the level of violence 554 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: and people who are still being killed in Gaza. But 555 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: also you know the role of municipalities and how we 556 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: think they're handling it. But most importantly, I'm curious are 557 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: these protests having any impacts on US foreign policy? So, Andrew, 558 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to start with you here because you know, 559 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: you don't think about these things until they happen. But 560 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: looking at the way these municipalities has handled it like 561 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: it is up to the mayor to call the police 562 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: or not, which I did not realize, and mayors have 563 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: been making that choice. You were mayor of Tallahassee. I'm 564 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: curious if should a protest like this had broken out 565 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: on the campus of FAM you, how might you have 566 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: handled it? 567 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 3: Well, I don't have to theorize FAM. You was often 568 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: having protests, not just FAM. You know, I was mayor 569 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 3: of Tallahassee, which has two state universities, and one City, 570 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: Florida and university Florida State. I guess some balloons here 571 00:29:54,280 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 3: Florida State congratulation. Yes, and then and then Tallahassee Community 572 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 3: College which is now Tallasse. 573 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: University. 574 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, tele Community College. So sixty almost ninety thousand students 575 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 3: right here in this area and protests is pretty pretty 576 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 3: regular and pretty rampant with the state capitol here. A 577 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 3: couple of things. One, typically, law enforcement of a municipality 578 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: does not enter into a university campus without being invited, 579 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: asked into, and onto a university campus. Most, at least 580 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 3: in our case, most campuses have their own campus based police. 581 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: That's true here, and it's it's true at Columbia, it's 582 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: true at many of the other institutions. So the university 583 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 3: really takes the lion's share the responsibility of shaping the 584 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 3: response to students who are trying to trying to try 585 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 3: to protest. I've heard people say in the last couple 586 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: of days, you know, these protes has have gone too far. 587 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: They have now gone and sat in and taken over buildings. Well, 588 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 3: we took over buildings, we took over president's offices, we 589 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: took over student union complexes in order to get into 590 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 3: attention and to create an inconvenience. That was the point. 591 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 3: If we went and sat under a tree that nobody 592 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: ever saw, what real impact might we have. So it's 593 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 3: a it really is annoying to me to hear people say, 594 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 3: you know, you know, this was okay when they were 595 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 3: outside on the lawn and with their signs and making noise. 596 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: But when you go into a building, when you go 597 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 3: and sit in a president's office, you've crossed the line 598 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 3: that that defies any logic around civil civil rights movements 599 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 3: citting participation and protests. Woolworths weren't serving black folks in 600 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: the late nineteen fifties and early sixties. Right to go 601 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 3: into a Woolworth and sit at a counter that was 602 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 3: reserved for white folks was a provocation. And so with 603 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 3: the people who are right now criticizing folks for occupying, 604 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: for taking up space that you say is not theirs, 605 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: would you have the same opinion or did you have 606 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: the same opinion when we were watching the Woolworth counter 607 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: demonstrations and so on and so forth. What I would 608 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 3: say for anyone who is either on a college campus 609 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 3: or lives in a college community when it comes to 610 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: these kinds of protests. I would be very slow to 611 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 3: call in local law enforcement unless it is absolutely necessary, 612 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: and large part because local law enforcement oftentimes does not 613 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 3: deal exclusively with students. They deal with some of the 614 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 3: more hardened in our community, and not oftentimes protests. And 615 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 3: I think sometimes the need to show who is in charge, 616 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: I'm the authority here, has the intention of escalating a 617 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 3: situation and causing things to spiral out of control when 618 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: we think what we're doing is calling in safety and 619 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 3: keeping everyone safe, in fact is the direct opposite. That's 620 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 3: not always true with local law enforcement, but I will 621 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: tell you I've seen far too many occasions, too many 622 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 3: instances where we've gone from zero to one hundred almost 623 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 3: overnight by the presence of enhanced law enforcement, where they 624 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 3: come in with riot gear, warlike vehicles and so on 625 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 3: and so forth, and it just has no place on 626 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: a college campus in my opinion. 627 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: I want I'm curious your thoughts, Angela, because as of Tuesday, 628 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: more than twelve hundred people have been arrested. 629 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, the first thing that I want to 630 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 6: say is I have been really watching this and watching 631 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 6: my rhetoric and trying to be mindful about how I'm 632 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 6: engaging around the protests. Is there something from the other 633 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 6: side that I'm missing? Is there a blind spot that 634 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 6: I have? I did an interview last week for a podcast, 635 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 6: and I was asked, if you know, if I thought 636 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 6: that some of the hate speech was okay, and I 637 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 6: was like, well, can you give me an example of 638 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 6: what you heard, you know, because. 639 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 4: Maybe I didn't hear it. I really want to know. 640 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 6: And I think that one I'm concerned when I see Congress, 641 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 6: you know, considering a bill that redefines anti Semitism, and 642 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 6: then part of me says, you know, I'm really interested 643 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 6: in what other movements, what other protected classes we can 644 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 6: include in some of this. 645 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 4: If we are true allies, as. 646 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 6: We've known the Jewish people to be from the Civil 647 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 6: rights movement, can we include in there protections for the 648 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 6: Palestinian people? Can we include in there protections for black lives? 649 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 6: Can we include in there protections for migrants? Can we 650 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 6: include in there right everybody who is who has been 651 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 6: hit hard on every side? Can we include them in 652 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 6: there to be protected? Shouldn't we all receive that same protection. 653 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 6: I'm all for expanding the Civil Rights Act because I 654 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 6: don't want it to go away. And if this means 655 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 6: we get to preserve it a little longer, by all 656 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 6: means let's include who needs to be included. But also 657 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 6: because I was so just feeling like the weight of 658 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 6: what was happening in the civil rights movement, I picked 659 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 6: up Julian Bond's Time to Teach, which our dear brother 660 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 6: Van Newkirk wrote that afterward for and I read it 661 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 6: a long time ago, and I was like, let me 662 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 6: pick this back up. Van, as you all know as 663 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 6: a brilliant, brilliant writer, and yes he's at the Atlanta 664 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 6: but he wrote that afterward in this book, and in 665 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 6: what Van was saying, he talked about sowing seeds of doom, 666 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 6: or using the seeds for a paradigm shift. And I 667 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 6: think that that's what this moment can offer us, because 668 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 6: one of the lessons that Julian Bond gives in this 669 00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 6: book is that movements at the time are never popular. Popular, 670 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 6: They don't like, they don't take off because there's viral 671 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 6: and widespread support. They take off because they're necessary because 672 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 6: somewhere someone had a conscience. I want us to sit 673 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 6: with that, like, if we can put our humanity first, 674 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 6: how do we show up? You know, if we can 675 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 6: lay aside the labels just for a moment, how do 676 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 6: we show up. There are kids now who are going 677 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 6: to go into a very hot summer without running water, 678 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 6: who are taking baths at hoses with buckets in Gaza, 679 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 6: who are going to cool off in the ocean, and 680 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 6: those are play days for them, and those are the 681 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 6: only moments of fun that they're having. But there are 682 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 6: also people like a young woman who I read about yesterday, 683 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 6: who has been so traumatized. She's a teenager and she's 684 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 6: urinating on herself uncontrollably. Like, this is not the kind 685 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 6: of thing that we can turn a blind eye to 686 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 6: and say because you looked at me wrong, because you 687 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 6: said the wrong thing, because you did the wrong thing. 688 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 6: Because you're not speaking up and naming every single hostage, 689 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 6: like you're naming the number or numbering the amount of 690 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 6: people who died in Gaza. I can't even hear the 691 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 6: morality of what you're saying. It's fine to humanize the 692 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 6: other side. The folks who are focused on the large 693 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 6: numbers of people who are being hit. The folks who 694 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 6: are saying, yeah, there was a billion dollars for Gaza 695 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 6: in this aid package, but seventeen billion dollars for weapons 696 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 6: for Israel, and I got a problem with it. You 697 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,720 Speaker 6: can certainly make sure that we are conscious and conscientious 698 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 6: about what's coming out of our mouths, but let us 699 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 6: remember that we need to be standing on the right 700 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 6: side of history. Where would you have stood with the 701 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 6: Vietnam War protests? Where would you have stood and to 702 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 6: sit in with Rosa Parks or the folks who came 703 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 6: before her, who preceded her. 704 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 4: Where would you. 705 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 6: Have stood when affirmative action was on the ballot in 706 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 6: my home state in Washington? 707 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 4: Where would you have stood? Or would you have just 708 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 4: looked and said, that's a shame. 709 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 6: And the truth is, the real shame are those of 710 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 6: us who aren't courageous enough to say something then, because 711 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 6: we're worried that our pockets would be impacted, or we're 712 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 6: worried that we'll lose an elected office, or we'reried worried 713 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 6: that we'll lose friends that ain't your friends anyway. If 714 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 6: they don't allow you the space to tell the truth 715 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 6: and to ask some tough questions, you are not safe. 716 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 6: And none of us are safe as long as we 717 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 6: continue to turn a blind eye to this remarkable crisis. 718 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 7: I take you. 719 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 3: I got a question for you. Well, I mean, so 720 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 3: you've been on the journalism side of this, and I've 721 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 3: been baffled by the conflation of protests equaling anti Semitic, yes, 722 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 3: and targeted or offended being reserved for only one group 723 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 3: of people. Can you help us understand why is it 724 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 3: so hard for the for the for the for the media, 725 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 3: for the press, and and and I say this with 726 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 3: only very few journalists, mostly written, mostly writers who are 727 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 3: going on campuses and actually talking to people, understanding what 728 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 3: folks are saying, why it's so hard to in telling 729 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 3: the story, tell the whole thing? 730 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? 731 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: Well, number one, see, people include more than just Jewish people. 732 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: So when you say anti Semitic, that can really apply 733 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: to multiple groups of ethnic people, including Muslims. But the 734 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: way the media has kind of framed this for the 735 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,479 Speaker 1: last few decades, it has been specific to Jewish people. 736 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: And I want to be clear, I'm not covering any 737 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: of these protests that haven't been on the ground, so 738 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: you know, I'm bearing witness like you guys are, I think, 739 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: And I also just want to give a quick shout 740 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: out to Sarah Snyder, who did an amazing interview this 741 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: week on CNN with Palestinian student, because you don't see 742 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: a lot of those voices. And I would say, Andrew, 743 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: it's because of the same reasons why it was a 744 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: controversial statement to say black lives matter. It was so 745 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: often what we consider to be right or moral, even 746 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: in newsrooms, what we consider to be ethical or unbiased 747 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: is centered on what is white and what is male, 748 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: because those were disproportionately the decision makers. And even when 749 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: you have people of color wise through the ranks, they 750 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: still carry that same water because that was their training, 751 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: and we lose I think a part of our intellectual 752 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: curiosity about these things, just for the journalism lens of this. 753 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: Yes Hamas attacked Israel or Israeli's killing about twelve hundred people, 754 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 1: taking around two hundred fifty people hostages, a horrible thing 755 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: to happen. In response, the IDs ordered by Netan Yahoo 756 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: have killed over thirty four thousand people, most of whom 757 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: are women and children. When we say that, it almost 758 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: sounds like what doesn't matter if you kill men? All 759 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: of these lives matter, And I want to I appreciate 760 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,479 Speaker 1: what your point. Angela because a lot of these things 761 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: are comprehensible in the macro and not the micro. You 762 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: tell me thirty four thousand people died, and it's like, 763 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: oh guy, that's terrible. You tell me the story of 764 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: one little girl who has play dates in an ocean 765 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: and who's urinating on herself uncontrollably because she's traumatized, and 766 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,479 Speaker 1: that is a different story to tell, and we don't 767 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 1: see that on a lot of US media. I think 768 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: Al Jazeera has done solid work in covering this, and 769 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: you guys will remember twenty years ago Al Jazeera was like, 770 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: we can't watch Al Jazeera and you know, they're like 771 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: a terrorist news outlet, and it's just not true. It's 772 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: been proven to be untrue. I do want to say 773 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: that these protests have cast a wide net of influence 774 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: across the globe. It is not just students in the US, 775 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: but students everywhere across the Middle East and globally are 776 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: joining with protesters in solidarity, from Kuwait to Lebanon to 777 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: Egypt and even at the Sorbonne in Paris, Italy, Britain, Canada, 778 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: and they say that they were directly inspired by US students. 779 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: So for any students listening to us. We hear you, 780 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 1: we see you, and you have sparked a global movement 781 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: and shifted a policy posture that the United States has had. 782 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: And I think these voices on the ground are rising up. 783 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: I want you guys to hear from some of the 784 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,720 Speaker 1: people directly. Take a listen. This is sound that Angela 785 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: actually dropped in our group chat from two Palestinians expressing 786 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: their gratitude for people acknowledging their humanity. 787 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 5: Take a listen. It gives us a glimpse of hope. 788 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 5: Is that to be worth alone? 789 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 3: And that goes for the efforts made by the students 790 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 3: of the universities in America. 791 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 2: We all lost everything, but we can't lose the hope 792 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: because you're stunk by us. 793 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 10: Thank you. 794 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: It's unimaginable what they're facing, and we are not wrong 795 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: for acknowledging their humanity and calling for an immediate ceasefire. 796 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: But these students also want divestment from Israel, which is 797 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: why I brought up apartheid. That you know, in nineteen 798 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: ninety there were talks and how to end apartheid in 799 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: South Africa and this I'm telling you to me these 800 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: there are some people might say it's a false equivalency, 801 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: but it certainly I think there are some parallels there. 802 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 3: You know, listening to those two young women, I feel 803 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 3: some type of way about it because the folks who 804 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 3: carried out the massacre in Israel are not the same 805 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: people who we see on the screen. They're saying thank 806 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 3: you for seeing our humanity Hamas carried out and executed 807 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 3: a terrorist attack and retribution for that we've seen almost 808 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 3: in a universal attack, almost distinguishing not between civilian and 809 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 3: military and terrorists. Everybody's being looped together. And this was 810 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 3: part of what why was was getting at, Why the 811 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 3: hell is this so hard to see the difference. I 812 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 3: was gonna say the nuance, but it's not even a nuance. 813 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 3: You have people who carry out an attack, those who 814 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 3: are victim of the attack, and then you have innocent men, women, 815 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 3: children who just because of where they are forced to live, 816 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 3: no choice, forced to live that they are right now 817 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 3: the largest community of people who sit at the most 818 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 3: devastating level of impact of this thing, And I just 819 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 3: for those who are covering it, who are writing about it, 820 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 3: can we please start to make the difference between these 821 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 3: the roles in which these folks are playing so that 822 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 3: we don't cast everybody by the same in the same 823 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: that upsetting. 824 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 5: But yes, and I don't. 825 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 1: I definitely don't want to make like college graduations are 826 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: just as important as people's lives. I mean, one is 827 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: clearly more important. People's humanity and their lives are important. 828 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: But I'm just curious to hear from you guys. Should 829 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: these schools proceed with their graduation ceremonies. 830 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,959 Speaker 3: I hope so, I mean absolutely, I hope. 831 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 10: So. 832 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 3: I gave the example of a speaker who I didn't 833 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 3: want at my graduation, I wouldn't an advocate for canceling 834 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 3: the damn thing. I was an advocate for showing out 835 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 3: against that speaker, but walking across the stage and celebrating 836 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,959 Speaker 3: my achievement with my peers. Honestly, I do feel for 837 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: these students because, as you all know, these are the 838 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 3: same students who did prom virtually and graduated virtually four 839 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 3: years ago, and so many of them are now being 840 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 3: hit with the same thing because universities don't know what 841 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 3: to do with First Amendment rights. 842 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 843 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 6: Well, and the thing is, like, I feel like this 844 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 6: whole question about graduation really began with the cancelation of 845 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 6: the USC valedictorian speech Asna. 846 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,959 Speaker 4: I don't want to say her last name, Tabisam, sorry 847 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 4: if I said. 848 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 6: It wrong, but you know, they canceled her speech and 849 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 6: talked about security concerns and then they were like, throw 850 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 6: the whole graduation away and now that's even on the table. 851 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 6: Is just like trifling, Like I'm sorry, I understand that 852 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 6: at public I mean at private schools, you don't necessarily 853 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 6: have free speech. We talked about the last time, you 854 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 6: have a code of conduct that generally supports free speech. 855 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 4: And the right to. 856 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 6: Assemble doesn't mean you have the right to occupy buildings 857 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 6: and spaces and all of that. 858 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 4: But that is a part of protests. 859 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 6: Protest is designed to put something in your face and 860 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 6: make you uncomfortable. That is the point. And if we 861 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 6: can't see beyond that and realize that every time in 862 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 6: history where you've had this outsized response and you brought 863 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 6: in law enforcement and they look like the military trying 864 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 6: to throw kids wherever, you know, starve them out, all 865 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,879 Speaker 6: of that. Number one, it looks like the thing they're protesting. 866 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 6: Number two is it is a slap in the face 867 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 6: for those of us who are still traumatized by what 868 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 6: happened on Capitol Hill on January sixth, and that was 869 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 6: not even your response to like an actual terrorist attack 870 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 6: where somebody wipes shit on Nancy Pelosi's desk, you know, 871 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 6: for lack of a better. 872 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 4: Term, shit. You know, it's like, how this is mind 873 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 4: blowing to me? It really is. 874 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that every single one of these protesters, 875 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 6: because we know that all of them are not students, 876 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,280 Speaker 6: but those who are standing in solidarity with the student protesters, 877 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 6: I'm not saying all of them have done every single 878 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 6: thing right. But what I am saying is they are 879 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 6: probably at their wits end about how to break through, 880 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 6: about what else can we say to you about how 881 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 6: serious this is about Like why do we need to 882 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 6: tell you about history? 883 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,439 Speaker 4: This is a place of higher learning. 884 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 6: It's an ivy in some of these instances, not all 885 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 6: the schools are. But you shouldn't know better than to 886 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 6: have history repeating itself. Meet us halfway ensuring that people 887 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 6: have equitable access to education in all spaces. If you're 888 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 6: going to do something in Tel Aviv and sure the 889 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 6: Palestinian people can also attend, that's a part of the protest. 890 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,839 Speaker 6: Like they're saying we're watching all of this happen. You're 891 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 6: receiving resources from here like this is a problem and 892 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 6: we should not be so held to a resource elected officials, 893 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 6: institutions of higher learning that we won't do the right thing. 894 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 6: And right now, these young people can afford to do 895 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,799 Speaker 6: the right thing because they ain't got bills to pay yet, 896 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 6: right some of them, and some of them like yo 897 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 6: with that, And I admire their courage to just ask why. 898 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 6: Some of it is just a why. Some of it 899 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 6: has just explained it to me. 900 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: Well, a follow up to that for you or Andrew, 901 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: whoever wants to answer, One what impact do we think 902 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: this will have on the election in November? And two 903 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: do we think that these protests is having any impact 904 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,840 Speaker 1: on our foreign policy? The fact is not lost on me, 905 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 1: Angela that you point out the seventeen billion dollars that 906 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: we have allocated to real who's likely using that money 907 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 1: to fund the IDF for the assault that we've seen 908 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: on Gaza. So what is the final impact of all 909 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: these protests? What's going to be the tangible result? 910 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 3: I fear, honestly, if I'm being real truthful here, I 911 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 3: think Republicans are creating a foil and a straw man 912 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 3: argument that Biden and the Democrats are going to want 913 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 3: to run away from the lawlessness, the chaos, the crime. 914 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 3: You heard Donald Trump during this interview define what the statistics, 915 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 3: what the numbers, what the actual reality is, which is 916 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 3: violent crime going down everywhere across America, and him saying, 917 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 3: I don't believe it, full facts, fake news, right, they 918 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 3: are going to create. I think the straw man argument 919 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 3: that if you elect Democrats, what you get is protests, chaos, disrespect, 920 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 3: occupying of buildings, lawless business, increased crime. And I think 921 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 3: the way in which Democrats will answer will be to 922 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 3: shroud themselves in safety, security rhetoric, and quite frankly, have 923 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 3: little to no impact on what US foreign policy will 924 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,439 Speaker 3: look like. Joe Biden, on one hand, stood up and said, 925 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 3: never again, don't do this. Recalibrate your your your war 926 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 3: approach so that civilians are not you know, impacted the 927 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 3: way that they are today. And then two weeks later, 928 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 3: Gung Host signing a bill sending weapons arms created manufactured 929 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 3: right here in the United States of America. You know, 930 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 3: center cross that are that are extracting and exacting the 931 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 3: same harm that he just decried. 932 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 5: Well, what did you think about that, Angela? And what 933 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 5: Andrew said? 934 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 4: I was, well, what I was going to ready to 935 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 4: tell you? 936 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 6: I wanted to look this up because I was like, 937 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 6: how is the aid kind of divvied up in Israel? 938 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 6: So on this on this point, but slightly tangential going 939 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 6: back to the original question, United States. This is from 940 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 6: the Council on Foreign Relations. The United States provided Israel 941 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 6: considerable economic assistance from nineteen seventy one to two thousand 942 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 6: and seven, but nearly all USA today goes to support 943 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 6: Israel's military. The United States has provisionally agreed to provide 944 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 6: Israel with nearly four billion dollars a year through twenty 945 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 6: twenty eight, and of course that does not include the 946 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 6: supplementary funding for what's happening with jimas right. 947 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: So what do you think that? First of all, that's frightening, 948 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: But what do you think this means for November? 949 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 4: Tif? 950 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 6: You know, I was trying to avoid this question answering 951 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 6: it because I just honestly, I'm scared because for the 952 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 6: Palestinian people, there's not a win with either candidate, Like, 953 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 6: there's not a win. 954 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,720 Speaker 4: It can get worse, it can get considerably worse. 955 00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 6: Right, Like Donald Trump doesn't care like he's he did, 956 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,240 Speaker 6: did some of the things to agitate Hamas to even 957 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 6: go here right in October. We know all of the 958 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 6: things he was doing in his administration, with Jared Kushner, 959 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 6: with Stephen Miller, with you know, putting up an embassy 960 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,840 Speaker 6: in Jerusalem to make a statement. We know what he's done. 961 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,319 Speaker 6: He is only going to make it worse. And then 962 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 6: what I think is interesting is he's saying in this 963 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 6: time interview that we've referenced already a few times. In 964 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 6: the Time interview, he's basically kind of hinting at the 965 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 6: fact that he's mad at Bebee but Biban Yahoo. 966 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 4: But he he. 967 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 6: Plays both sides well, we've seen him do us since Charlottsville, 968 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 6: you know what I mean literally, Like there's good people 969 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 6: on both sides, but we know his intention is going 970 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 6: to be to support Israel by any necessarily. 971 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 5: It probably sides. 972 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he was very clear he does not support 973 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 1: a two state solution anymore, which is I don't know 974 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: how that could even you know, that's not both sides well. 975 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,320 Speaker 6: And it's not both sides on that, But I'm saying, 976 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 6: like him being like kind of hinting at oh, like, well, 977 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 6: I'm mad at Yahoo, so maybe I wouldn't work with 978 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 6: him like that. 979 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 4: That's what I mean very specifically. 980 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 1: About honestly only saying that Angela because the people of 981 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: Israel are not happy with net Yahoo. So I think 982 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 1: he is like hedging his bets that, Hey, people of Israel, 983 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm still with you. I'm the president who's done the 984 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: most for Israel, which is not true, right exactly, so 985 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 1: he can still. 986 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,759 Speaker 6: But it could look like to some like you know, 987 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 6: really well meaning only seasilver lining student young people since 988 00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 6: we were talking about young people. Oh, he doesn't fill 989 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,799 Speaker 6: with net Yahoo at all, so maybe we'll have a 990 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:31,959 Speaker 6: better run with him. 991 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 4: That is not the case. 992 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 6: I don't forget what he did when he was elected 993 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 6: in twenty sixteen. He has by far had the most 994 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 6: conservative policies, completely alienating the Palestinian people. This is still 995 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 6: the man behind the Muslim band, right, Hey, let's be 996 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 6: very clear about. 997 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:48,879 Speaker 3: That first time. 998 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,720 Speaker 6: So he's first, Yeah, this is this is not don't 999 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 6: be please, don't be confused, Please don't be deceived, like this. 1000 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 4: Is absolutely the same guy. 1001 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 1: Well, I think what is also in Bolden completely and 1002 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: What is also more frightening, This president will take us 1003 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: to a war. 1004 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,879 Speaker 5: I mean he said that too. 1005 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he has said that, you know, if Iran gets involved, 1006 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 1: then yeah, he hasn't ruled out that we will go 1007 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: on war. Well, you can argue Iran is already involved. 1008 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 1: So again, well already what this means foreign policy? 1009 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 5: Heartbreak Andrew. But you go ahead and then after that. 1010 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 3: Break Just to your point bbing at in Yahoo, the 1011 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 3: reason why he has taken the tact that he has 1012 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 3: is because he believes that there's popularity in war. If 1013 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 3: you are standing for us against everybody else, then you're 1014 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 3: our guy. And I mean, I mean the fear of 1015 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 3: the terrible part of this is that these folks are 1016 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 3: willing to use our bodies, our lives, as as as 1017 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 3: bargaining shits for political positioning to win, to be popular. 1018 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: And wartime president's benefit because it does it. It has 1019 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: an impact on the economy, right, it benefits the economy 1020 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: in some ways, but it is detrimental to people and 1021 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 1: the highest ethnic group I believe this is the case 1022 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 1: a few years ago. I'll fact check myself, but the 1023 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:13,280 Speaker 1: highest group of ethnic group that joins our armed services 1024 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: are black women which is something that we also don't 1025 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,720 Speaker 1: talk a lot about. So we've literally saved this country 1026 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 1: numerous times. All right, we got to take a quick break. 1027 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 3: Uh. 1028 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 1: Coming on the other side of this, we're going to 1029 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 1: talk about why Georgia is on my mind, should be 1030 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 1: on all of our. 1031 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 5: So stay tuned. 1032 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 3: Georgia. 1033 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 6: Ooh, go ahead, Andre said, they said Mississippi Goddamn maybe 1034 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 6: should be Georgia. 1035 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: Dang, I love you know, that's one of my favorite 1036 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,479 Speaker 1: Nina Simone songs, Mississippi Goddamn and I we literally still 1037 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: feel that way. But honestly, all throughout the Bible Belt. Uh. 1038 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: Angela and I were on the phone earlier this week 1039 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: talking about just like the Black Battleground because everybody always says, oh, 1040 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: the souths is read, and it's like the South is 1041 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: read until it ain't. Like there are pockets that we 1042 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: can influence. And speaking of that, Georgia is one of 1043 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: those pockets. You know, Georgia is now officially a battle 1044 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 1: ground state, so whatever happens there actually has big influence, 1045 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 1: which is why when the GOP controlled Georgia state legislature 1046 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: passed a wide ranging election measure, we should all pay 1047 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 1: attention and be a bit concern in my opinion. In 1048 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 1: this new bill, any political party or political body could 1049 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:36,399 Speaker 1: qualify for the presidential ballot if they or it has 1050 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: already gained access to the ballot in at least twenty 1051 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 1: states or territories. So you guys think about this in 1052 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 1: terms of RFK and what that might mean for him 1053 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 1: under the law homeless people, well the proposed law, because 1054 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: it hasn't been signed by the governor yet, homeless people 1055 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: must also redo their voter registrations. Previously registered voters without 1056 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: permanent addresses. If registered it like shelters or like government offices, 1057 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: well no more. The bill also includes provisions that would 1058 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,280 Speaker 1: make it easier for some of these amateur right wing 1059 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,879 Speaker 1: voter fraud hunters to successfully challenge voter registrations. You guys 1060 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,520 Speaker 1: remember when that bill passed in twenty twenty one and 1061 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: they were overwhelmed with these ridiculous, bogus challenges. Well they've 1062 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: made the path easier for that now. 1063 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 3: These things include committing the crimes. 1064 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: Exactly, Thank you, Andrew, because I what a great time 1065 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 1: to remind people y'all's favored white man president called election officials. 1066 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: They are asking to please find eleven thousand votes, but 1067 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: they stay on some Let's find the cheaters when they're 1068 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,439 Speaker 1: the cheaters. The call it's coming from inside the house. 1069 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: But these these the presumption includes the presumption that the 1070 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: voter has died, or has registered to vote in a 1071 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 1: different jurisdiction, or registered at a non residential address. So 1072 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 1: I you know, I guess I put this question to you, guys, 1073 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what this means. And since George is 1074 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: a battleground state, but more importantly, what can we do 1075 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: about it? 1076 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 5: Like how do we combat these things? 1077 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 1: Governor Kemp, an expert in voter suppression, by the way, 1078 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: has until Madant to sign the bill. But even if 1079 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't sign it, if he just the only way 1080 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: it won't become law is if he vetos it. 1081 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 5: I don't see that happening. 1082 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 3: I mean, haven't they They've done everything but take the 1083 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 3: right to vote away in the state of true. Yeah, 1084 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 3: and that's only because it's it's an amendment in the 1085 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 3: Constitution of the United States of America. They'd have to 1086 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 3: amend the Constitution. But they've they've they've done everything short 1087 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 3: of completely take away our votes. But but they're not 1088 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 3: the only ones, y'all. They these things keep popping up 1089 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 3: and state of the similar legislation in mind, similar legislation 1090 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 3: all across the black Belt. The intention is one thousand 1091 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 3: percent clear, right, And I guess I mean all all 1092 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 3: I can say is we have to continue to persevere. 1093 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,800 Speaker 3: They're never going to make this easy. No one is 1094 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 3: going to save us, but us is. And so I mean, 1095 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 3: it's it's not me throwing in the towel. It's simply saying, 1096 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 3: if they could, if they can put the roadblock up 1097 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,720 Speaker 3: expected because what Sean was talking about planning the detour. 1098 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 1: Sewn who sent in the question, I'm glad you said 1099 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: it's not you throwing in the towel. 1100 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 4: Andrew like you. 1101 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 1: You're saying, like planned for the detour. And I gotta say, 1102 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,439 Speaker 1: it is hard to overstate the significance of the black 1103 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: vote in Georgia for them. From two thousand to twenty nineteen, 1104 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: the number of eligible voters in Georgia increased by nearly 1105 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 1: two million people, with black people making up nearly half 1106 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: that number. That's according to Pew Research, and Georgia is 1107 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 1: one of six battleground states expected to determine the outcome 1108 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 1: of this election. Angela, you always have like a strong 1109 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 1: like this is what y'all gotta do in Georgia. I 1110 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: know you gave Sean some words of encouragement. I'm just 1111 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: curious what can we say to the voters of Georgia 1112 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: at large facing this. 1113 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 6: You know, I think it goes back right back to 1114 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 6: where we were just talking about around movement building, you know. 1115 00:59:59,320 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 4: Like this stuff is. 1116 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 6: It's not popular, but it's necessary. I was feeling discouraged 1117 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 6: too again. Part of the reason why I picked up 1118 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 6: the Julian Bond book because I'm like, how far back 1119 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 6: are we gonna go? 1120 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 7: Like? 1121 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 6: Why are we going backwards like this? But we have 1122 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 6: to remember there's always a retraction after progress, and so 1123 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 6: you cannot give up hope.

And just remember that somebody 1144 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 6: did it for us. Let me break out. This is 1145 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 6: a good time to break out.

Shout out to black a f 1153 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 6: history too, so you understand the retractions we're talking about. 1154 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 4: Michael Harry. We'll talk about that in the book. 1155 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 6: But this is important anytime you get tired, remember that 1156 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 6: there were folks who toiled and went down roads where 1157 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 6: there was no path, so that it would make our 1158 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 6: path that much easier. 1159 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 4: So certainly we can fight to protect our body. 1160 01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 5: I love that. I think about that. 1161 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: What right do we have have to be tired considering 1162 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,479 Speaker 1: what our what our ancestry went through. 1163 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 4: Well we got it right, we do. 1164 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 1: But I went up myself and get up and keep 1165 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 1: working a nap when myself I feel tired, I'm like, 1166 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 1: what right do you tivity? 1167 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 4: I believe it in that ministry? 1168 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, Andrew, you were going to say something before I 1169 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 5: move us home. 1170 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 6: No, it better be it better be on topic too, 1171 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 6: because I don't know what you're doing over there. 1172 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 3: To my Michael, No, I thought about this poem that 1173 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,880 Speaker 3: I had committed to memory so many years ago. Don't 1174 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 3: see it through, don't quit? 1175 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 4: Oh sorry? 1176 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 3: And it talks about success is failure turned inside out, 1177 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,479 Speaker 3: the silver tint of the closet, doubt it's it's it's 1178 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 3: when things seem worse that you mustn't quit. Was a 1179 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 3: line that came to me when you were saying, you know, 1180 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 3: Angela talked about you know, with with the evolution of time. 1181 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 3: We make, you know, gigantic steps forward, but then there 1182 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 3: feels like this whole God leave. You know, we can't, 1183 01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,640 Speaker 3: we can't. We can't win for losing, right, the retraction 1184 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 3: starts and oftentimes it really is sort of like the 1185 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 3: last stand. Yeah, and it's when things seem and feel 1186 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 3: worse worse that we mustn't quit. Yeah. 1187 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 5: I love that. 1188 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 3: Don't quit. 1189 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 5: I love that. Okay, we're moving on to basketball. 1190 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: And before you get all excited, I'm not going to 1191 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 1: give you my opinion on the NBA finals or playoffs yet. 1192 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a second. But this is 1193 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 1: what we This is our segment. Politics are everywhere, and 1194 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 1: politics are even in where and how you watch these games. 1195 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 1: The companies holding the rights to show NBA games, that's Disney, 1196 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 1: which owns ESPN and ABC, and Warner Brothers Discovery, the 1197 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 1: parent company of TNT. They are collectively paying the league 1198 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 1: twenty four billion dollars over nine years for that privilege. 1199 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: But guys, their contracts expire after next season, and the 1200 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 1: NBA they set their eyes on to more and double 1201 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,040 Speaker 1: the money it receives, so they're looking at like in 1202 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: the fifty billion dollar range to air their games. 1203 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 5: Take a look. 1204 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,760 Speaker 1: But the reason why it's really interesting because sports never 1205 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 1: like you never hear like, oh, the NBA is down 1206 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 1: in profit by billions of dollars. People watch the NFL, 1207 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: they watch the NBA. Take a listen to NBA Commissioner 1208 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Adam Silver on his predictions and thoughts around as they 1209 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 1: negotiate their next round of TV contracts. 1210 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 5: Take a listen. 1211 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,280 Speaker 8: There's so much competition these days in media. I mean, 1212 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 8: just think of what's going on at TNT in terms 1213 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 8: of changes in cable, what's happening at CNN, and everything's 1214 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 8: moving digitally. So as we're looking out the next decade, 1215 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 8: we got to think about how we're going to produce 1216 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 8: and present our games in a way where they're going 1217 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 8: to be easily accessible. Because look, a lot of people 1218 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 8: you must talk to fans all the time and don't 1219 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 8: get cable, and they feast on social media, and our 1220 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 8: players are incredibly popular there, but it's not a substitute 1221 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 8: for watching live games. And the thing that really excites me, 1222 01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 8: there's been a lot of talk about games and essence 1223 01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 8: being and poured it over to digital platforms, and you 1224 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 8: saw it with NFL, with NBC in Peacock. Amazon has 1225 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 8: games now too, but in essence there's still the same games. 1226 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 8: It's the same feet of the game. What's really exciting 1227 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 8: to me as you move to these digital platforms, it 1228 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 8: creates opportunities to do things unimaginable before in traditional television. 1229 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 8: I mean, frankly, for people who do want to bet 1230 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 8: and you talk about that, you can do that. If 1231 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 8: you want nothing to do with that, that's fine. For 1232 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 8: people who want to buy the shoes the players are 1233 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 8: wearing that the jerseys are wearing. Who people want to 1234 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 8: be part of a larger community. For people who want 1235 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 8: different languages, different dialects, for people who want to listen 1236 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 8: to commentary from Charles not just during the break but 1237 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 8: throughout the game, or people want Mike Breen to be 1238 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 8: doing play by play, or just to hear a group 1239 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 8: of people who are just fans having fun watching the game. 1240 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 8: So I think production is going to change dramatically over 1241 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 8: the next several years. And the other part about our 1242 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 8: game being global, I mean, even now, seventy five percent 1243 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 8: of our viewership comes from outside the United States. 1244 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: Who knew I did not know that that many people 1245 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 1: outside the United States even about NBA Africa. But I 1246 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 1: this is like kind of a microcosm for like the 1247 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 1: business at large and like how people are consuming sports. 1248 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I find it so interesting. And I also want to 1249 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: say that I predicted that the seventy six ers Nick 1250 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: game would go into overtime. I predicted it in the 1251 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter when it was not a lot of time 1252 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 1: less and I'm like, they're gonna tie because I'm going 1253 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 1: to overtime, am I? 1254 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 7: So? 1255 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean, she couldn't have bet that myself. I told 1256 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: myself would have been too little. 1257 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 3: I was. 1258 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 4: I was saud of you. 1259 01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking it and then it happened and nobody 1260 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: was around for me to tell. But I should have 1261 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 1: dropped it in the group chat, just so y'all knew. 1262 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 3: I literally thought, think about me winning a lot of reasons. 1263 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 6: Okay, can she bet on it sooner? 1264 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 10: Though? 1265 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: Can be do y'all Do y'all have anything on that 1266 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:44,960 Speaker 1: or do y'all have a team that y'all want to 1267 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 1: tell you gonna think you're gonna win? Whatever y'all want 1268 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,280 Speaker 1: to talk about. I just like talk about sports. 1269 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 3: There's there's not a lot of sectors that are growing, 1270 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 3: Like yeah, I mean you heard the comer say, doubling. Yeah, right, 1271 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,120 Speaker 3: And and we haven't he talked about the percentage of 1272 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,920 Speaker 3: global viewers. We haven't even begun to scratch the surface 1273 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 3: of it, right. I just hope, I just hope that 1274 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 3: the global expansion creates opportunity for both the men's and 1275 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 3: the women's side. Already, women are going, you know, to 1276 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 3: China and abroad and get you know, making four times 1277 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 3: what they might make here in the States. But you know, 1278 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:31,040 Speaker 3: let let this wild, rapid, incredible growth, both on expansion 1279 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 3: into other markets, but also in production quality, and investment, 1280 01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 3: and and and and women's games. Let it, let it, 1281 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 3: Let it be across the board. That's all I gotta say. 1282 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 6: I you know, one of the things that I think 1283 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 6: is interesting about this is there is kind of a 1284 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 6: bidding war that's happening, and T and T could very 1285 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 6: well lose their rights to NBC Universal Comcast comcasts that 1286 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 6: they're willing to pay right around where Disney is willing 1287 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 6: to pay. And so what I would put on the 1288 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,840 Speaker 6: table it just in case the NBA listens to us 1289 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 6: for stress, who you're gonna go with, like obviously you should, 1290 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 6: I would ensure just like the NFL has a Ruiney 1291 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 6: rule that they don't do so well at enforcing, but 1292 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 6: ensure that there's that kind of a process in place. 1293 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 6: What are the what are the do the executives at 1294 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 6: these companies look like the players on the floor? Do 1295 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 6: the do the do the contractors they work with look 1296 01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 6: like the players on the floor? Are the commentators who 1297 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,760 Speaker 6: are talking about these games in between the breaks, at halftime, 1298 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 6: you know, the pregame, the post game. 1299 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 4: Who do they look like? Do they have experience with 1300 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 4: the NBA? 1301 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 6: Are you ensuring that there are w NBA players and 1302 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,959 Speaker 6: former players also at that table, ensuring that any ads 1303 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 6: that those companies bring to the table are doing business 1304 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,639 Speaker 6: with w n B A and NBA players. Is there 1305 01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 6: something that you can get them to do to throw 1306 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 6: the U NBA a bone. Y'all are partners in this mission, 1307 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,639 Speaker 6: and right now the women about to take you over. 1308 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 4: Tip. I got my seats to this season opener. 1309 01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 6: By the way, I want to go. You go Seattle 1310 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:15,760 Speaker 6: Storm March. Sorry, that's not March anymore. Seattle Storm May fourteenth. 1311 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 6: They are playing the Minnesota Links. I'm making sure that 1312 01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,839 Speaker 6: that is the fifteenth, Like, yeah. 1313 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,200 Speaker 5: Grant, we're gonna be somewhere. 1314 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,679 Speaker 4: Are we gonna be in my own May fourteen? 1315 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 1: Oh you're right, Okay, we go. We all stay tuned anyway. 1316 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,479 Speaker 5: I love everything you said. 1317 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 6: I don't even know where I was going, but my 1318 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 6: point was make it blacker and then maybe the NBA 1319 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 6: will consider Adam Silver. 1320 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 4: I'm speaking for you, so you need to run me 1321 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 4: a check or signing. 1322 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 5: I love all your point. 1323 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 1: Good concern producer, Nick, can you dub like Angelo's voice 1324 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: over my face? 1325 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 5: I wanted to look I was making those points. 1326 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 1: Because that was so good about like the commentator. 1327 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 5: I love how that. 1328 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: I seriously though, I didn't even think about that, Like, 1329 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,080 Speaker 1: I was kind of looking at this from like a 1330 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, broadcast perspective. But the social justice element of 1331 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,599 Speaker 1: that I think is so important. The NFL is still 1332 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 1: the most. 1333 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 6: Well the equity. It's the equity tip more than social justice. 1334 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 6: Were not asking them to. I mean, it would be 1335 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 6: nice if they had a Black Lives Matter back drop, 1336 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 6: but we're just talking about. 1337 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 4: The people who know the game. 1338 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 6: The best should be your commentators, the people who are 1339 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 6: occupying the seats. You want folks who understand the league 1340 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 6: doing business with the league. That means it should look blacker. Yeah, 1341 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,080 Speaker 6: how many of your players are black? That's so true. 1342 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 1: But even when you're talking about the people doing business, 1343 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 1: the contractor is the commentator, like all of that. I 1344 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 1: think it's so so tantamount to the credibility marketing. Yeah, yeah, employees, 1345 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: market contractors, commentator, all of it. I echo all of that. 1346 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 1: The NFL is still the most valuable sports league in 1347 01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 1: the world, and they didn't quite double their fees. But 1348 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 1: I think what you're saying is about even these other 1349 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: businesses wanting to buy. We've seen massive layoffs at Disney 1350 01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 1: across all divisions. You saw a Discovery One Brother's Ways 1351 01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,760 Speaker 1: of a ship ton of money on CNN Plus and 1352 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: all the things they're doing. So I want I'm curious 1353 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,360 Speaker 1: how many people actually have the deep pockets to be 1354 01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 1: a real player in this. I take your point about 1355 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: Peacock like they they may be a player, but they're 1356 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: streaming the other streaming services out there. Given the global audience. 1357 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,680 Speaker 1: I wonder if Netflix will will get involved in this, 1358 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 1: And what does this mean. 1359 01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 6: From Amazon is already they have a deal with Amazon 1360 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,479 Speaker 6: that's worth a lot of money. So there's they're slated 1361 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 6: to make over seventy five billion. The NFL does, but 1362 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 6: does the NBA, NBA They're yeah, they're working on an 1363 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 6: Amazon deal too. 1364 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 1: I thought I just read I've read in the time. 1365 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,599 Speaker 1: I thought that was a rumor. I didn't know that 1366 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 1: there was like confirmed. 1367 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:37,680 Speaker 4: That they breaking up. 1368 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 5: But we don't know, we don't know. 1369 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 1: The streets are talking, the streets are saying sorts we 1370 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,680 Speaker 1: have heard say so to say there may be some 1371 01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:49,639 Speaker 1: talk with Amazon. 1372 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, but here is an actual demographic number. 1373 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,320 Speaker 6: Seventy more than seventy percent of the players in the 1374 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 6: NBA are black. We would like to see it in 1375 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 6: the ranks of any organization that comes to the tape 1376 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 6: wanting to stream or broadcast on linear. 1377 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 5: I love that. 1378 01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 4: I love that me too. 1379 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Well, that concludes my sports talk for money the show, 1380 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 1: and thank you for tuning in. 1381 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 5: But before we go, though, did you guys?
