27
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: black people have had plenty of time to to carve

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: up and analyze what's been going on the The murder

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: of David McAtee, that man who owns the barbecue shop

30
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: in Louisville particularly is heartbreaking. My grandfather, who you know,

31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: his family moved from the South to Chicago. He came

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: from Chicago out to l a looking for work because

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: of the war effort. A tax paying black man who

34
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: served his country, entrepreneur who had to do everything on

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: his own. He owned. He my grandfather used to own

36
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a barbecue restaurant Slaws in an over hill in l A.

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: And and then and then, and people knew in the neighborhood.

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: He was good with people because he he saw him

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: making barbecue as a way to feed his community. It

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't for profit. Those those margins are razor.

41
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Then that's not to to go ball out. He did

42
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: it because that's a way that that's an expression of

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: our love for each other too, is to us providing

44
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: for each other and cooking for each other. And I

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: know during the riots he in ninety two, he was

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: worried about his place. But things were okay, thank god.

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: But I just think about this other man, a grandfather,

48
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: a black man in the street who police seemed to

49
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: know his restaurant too, is just murdered. Ah h. I

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: don't know what it was like because I was like,

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: why are you shooting? Because the story I got was

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: somebody was shooting at the police. They shot back, and

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't. It was an innocent bystandard situation. So it

54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: wasn't him like he wasn't because he wasn't protesting. It

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: was like he was he wasn't protesting. It was an

56
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: innocent bystandard situation. And I'm always like straight bullets always

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: seemed to catch good people. They never seem to catch

58
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: the awful dude, like Hitler got hit by a straight bullet,

59
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: right But then, but I guess if you are the

60
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: awful dude, the bullets not straight, like I don't understand

61
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: what happens. Like, if you're shooting at the cops and

62
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: you get shot, you're just like, all right, you earned

63
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: that the right way. But if you're you know, just

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: like that straight bullet has always been a weird, a

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: weird kind of thing where it's just like, oh, you're

66
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: never gonna catch you dude, who was a it was

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, a horrible person. You know it was you know,

68
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: kicking puppies and hurting kids and all this other stuff

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: like that, Like straight bullets go around him. Yeah, Like,

70
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if the evil protects you, Like I

71
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: don't know what the philosophy of the straight bullet is,

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: but I can be thankful that my white friends who

73
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: have hit me up to ask if I'm all right,

74
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: it's not the are you all right? Well what can

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I do? It's not those two because some people are

76
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: to get the It's kind of like as a comic,

77
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: when you book something like when I booked, like when

78
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: I got Daily Show, there was two types of there's

79
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: there's three types of people that hit you up. There's

80
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: the ah my god, congratulations and that's the end of

81
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the sentence, and then there's um, oh, congratulations, how did

82
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: you book that? And then there's just the people that

83
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: are just like, oh, hey, well, how did you book this? Okay, cool,

84
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: you just said congratulations? Were friends, congratulations, and how you

85
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: book this? We're friends, but you're an ask. If it's

86
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: just how did you book this? I'm gonna block you

87
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: on social media? Like and so it's the same thing,

88
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: it's how are you done? How are you? What can

89
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: I do? Done? What can I do? First of all,

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: quit asking us because we've been peacefully protesting. But then

91
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: it's because I'm very much over the well, if they

92
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: would have done it this, listen, listen, there is plenty

93
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: of footage. We've all seen eyes on the prize. We

94
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: all went to high school, we all found out what happened.

95
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I really to the point where I'm just like, I'm

96
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: gonna need white people to stop talking about Martin Luther King. Yes,

97
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: because what you're doing is using Martin Luther King to

98
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: silence us. So you're bringing on that he wouldn't want

99
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: the riots, he wouldn't want the rights. And then it's like, oh,

100
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. Fine, and then you

101
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: send them the clip with Martin Luther King doing a

102
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: speech saying that riots are the language of the unheard.

103
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: So now you don't have a rebuttal because it was

104
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: well Martin Lukeing, I was like, no, no no, no, no,

105
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: let's not guess what he would have thought. Let me

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: show you an actual clip of what the man said,

107
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you saw on Twitter where

108
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: people were white explaining to Bernice King about what her

109
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: father would have done, and she was like, my father

110
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: peacefully protested and y'all assassinated him. So you've already told

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: us what happens when peacefully protests. We did sit ins

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: at lunch counters and we were attacked the peacefully protested

113
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: across the bridge. That was a massacre. We had a

114
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: whole town set up and toss to Oklahoma because you

115
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't leave us alone towards you burn the city down

116
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: May thirty one to June one. That was years ago.

117
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: So all of the times where we have been, we've done.

118
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: We've gone by your rules. Fine, you don't want us

119
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: to live near you will make our own town. All

120
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: these negroes are successful, burn it down, okay, you want

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: us to peacefully protest, we did all of this. Let's

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: attack them with dogs. And fire hoses. So we are

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to follow the rules. Every it's you're given, you're not.

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: You're giving us the guidelines of what we have to

125
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: do for you acknowledge as human beings and then acknowledge

126
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: our rights. And it's still we didn't do. That's the thing,

127
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: because I think right they're trying to say, well, these

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: are the rules to getting what you want. But see

129
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: what we played by the rules and we're not getting

130
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: what It's not even what we want, it's what we're old.

131
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: It's what we what we are, what we what we

132
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: deserve as human being. When the people who make that,

133
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: the people who make the rules, will always be able

134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: to change the rules and the game, then we'll play

135
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: a different one. So my thing is now, stop asking us.

136
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: You want to know what you can do for me

137
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: as a black person to change things? All your dad,

138
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: call your dad, call your uncle, call your auntie, called

139
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: all of those people that are the reason that you

140
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: don't go home for Thanksgiving, because all of those people

141
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: are the ones saying all lives matter. And you get

142
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: more careble about a target on fire than a man

143
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: would uh than a policeman's knee on his neck. Stop

144
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: asking us we didn't start this problem, because how can

145
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: an abuser look at the victim and turn to the

146
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: victim and say, tell me how to stop abusing you.

147
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: How does that make sense. Black people have spent our

148
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: whole lives, We've been taught generation after generation after generation

149
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: how to navigate through white folks to survive, and this

150
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: is the time for white people to net to teach

151
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: white people how to navigate through us. We played by

152
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: the rules, and you keep changing them. So I'm going

153
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: to then the rulemaker. Need to talk to the rulemaker

154
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: because obvious that you're not listening to us because you

155
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: can watch all these videos and not care what did

156
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: he do wrong? He existed, there was anything he couldn't

157
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: done right. So I'm not playing this game no more.

158
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Because the only reason busses got desegregated is because the

159
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Montgomery bus system was about to go bankrupt. They didn't

160
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: change their minds about us. They didn't make us people.

161
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: It was eighteen months and it was running out of money.

162
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Some man needed to send his child to college. It

163
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: was either either he can't go to school or these

164
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: need girls get to said whatever they wanted this bus,

165
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: When about us, all these changes haven't been about us.

166
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: You mess their money, and my mama taught me I

167
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: was a kid, you want to change the mess up,

168
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: d white man money and stuff will change. It's not

169
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: about it's not about acknowledging the humanity and us. That's

170
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: not that's that's that's not that's not the point. You

171
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: burnt hot target target. Don't say in the care Why

172
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: are you care, Brandy? What's something you think is underrated? Uh?

173
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: Black man men in black. I'm gonna make that my

174
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: answer RELI. Yeah. And then my myth is, uh that

175
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Antifa has a leader. There was a great tweet. There

176
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: are so many people where I saw a couple of

177
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: version of the construction, people like I am the president

178
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: of Antifa, and then other people did the great pivot

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: of like now hopefully like yes, now the CIA please

180
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: give me anti tank missiles and cash. Yeah, did you

181
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: see that? There was like a screenshot a tweet going

182
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: around yesterday from an account called Antifa underscore Us that

183
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: was like Tonight's the Night's Comrades with a capital C

184
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: codes Tonight Tonight tonight we say quote fuck the city,

185
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: and we move into the residential areas, hoods and we

186
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: take what's ours? Shots are out of fucking control. They're like, yeah,

187
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: spots are. It's it's like the joke account that have

188
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: been circulating for years and years, Like it's so fucking

189
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: out of touch and very ridiculous. There were several people

190
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: at my time when I had to be like, Yo,

191
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: do you not get that this is fake? If you

192
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: don't get this is fake, you're the stupidest person. Like

193
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: that's like being like, hey, Twitter, We're gonna bomb Pearl

194
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Harbor tomorrow. I think like it's not. And the I mean,

195
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: it's all like people were very easily able to prove,

196
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: like so the the ruse was oh and they had

197
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: their account deleted. That's why you can't find it on

198
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: Twitter because this is a threatening post. Uh, And somebody

199
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: went and looked in the way back machine and that

200
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: account was created I think June first. So yeah, it's

201
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: just but it like the disinformation, the way that this

202
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: is going to be politicized is Israel and something that's

203
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: going to be constantly in need of fighting back against. Yeah,

204
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: as well as like jammers being like there's all of

205
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: a sudden like blackouts of coverage where there's protests, there's

206
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: like journalists feeds being taken down and suddenly jamming around

207
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: in areas where no one else is having issues, Like

208
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, they're shooting journalists with tear protesters,

209
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: it's they're they're permanently disabling people, permanently disabling people for protesting.

210
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: This is, I mean, what else for certain people we

211
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: knew this was going on. We knew like how bad

212
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: it is, um and then like when it all happens

213
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: at once and you look at just what their response is.

214
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Their response from protests about police brutality and white supremacy

215
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: being like the overarching ethos of how we police in

216
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: this country, A protest to bring people's awareness to that

217
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: was answered with just basically like, oh, you want arrests?

218
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh I got him right here for you, d of

219
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: you because you want what want to No one's been

220
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: arrested in Brianna Taylor's murder. Uh, and we're still waiting

221
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: for the other three officers amongst countless many previous to this. Yeah,

222
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: thousands of protesters have been arested and three cops haven't

223
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: been I mean yeah, yeah, I got one in custody

224
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: and for third degree murder two, which is fucking ridiculous.

225
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the thing, you know, like white

226
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: supremacy is a virus, right, and like like any virus,

227
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: it's a living organism. That we've seen over the last

228
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: week what living organisms do when they are they are

229
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: pushed to fight back for their survival. You see what

230
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: happens what human beings do, right, and that happens with

231
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: virus like it has to protect itself. It knows that

232
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: there are steaks. White supremacy is a virus in that sense.

233
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: And it's just like I'm saying, uh, like anything you bring,

234
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: if you bring awareness to it, if you bring awareness

235
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: to white supremacy, that's how that's how that ship dies

236
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: because objectively, you can't put that ship out in the open.

237
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: You can't watch a guy get his neck knelt on

238
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: and die and say yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's okay

239
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: because they're luckily there's polling that was something like you know,

240
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: luckily ten percent of this country is completely out of

241
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: their minds and was like whatever happened there was like

242
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the police did the right thing, but like, well over

243
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: people like this is not enough, Like what the funk

244
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: was that? This is? So again, we have that awareness

245
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and it makes white supremacy vulnerable, but it strikes back,

246
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: and it strikes back in the form of how our

247
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: media is covering it, and it strikes back in the

248
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: form of how our police are treating the people who

249
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: are bringing awareness to this virus. And that's how these

250
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: expressions of self self sustaining, you know, a survival mechanisms

251
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: kick in, and they kick in in these other ways.

252
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: But we're like, oh, yeah, it's they're looting. Wow, oh

253
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: who's are there? Are there outside agitators? What's going on?

254
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Because when you're talking about that, you're not talking about

255
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: white supremacy. When you're talking about Cap and Eric Reid,

256
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: who are not in the league anymore, you're not talking

257
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: about white supremacy. And that's what a lot of these

258
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: things offer us, our distractions from this larger discussion and

259
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,239
Speaker 1: how how these manifestations of white supremacy are all around us. Yeah,

260
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean the degree to which the police were openly

261
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: antagonistic towards protests against white supremacy was because of my privilege.

262
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, was even a surprise to me

263
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: coming into this. I was I I you know, it

264
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: was just like I couldn't I couldn't stop watching the

265
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: videos of them. Yeah, and then people without any provocation,

266
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: and the media coverage of I mean, from my understanding,

267
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: the trajectory of almost any major protest was very similar

268
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: in that it starts peaceful, the cops show up an

269
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: start antagonizing people, and then and then they continue to

270
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: antagonize people and blame the protesters. And what I have

271
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: not seen reflected in really any major media is that

272
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: narrative at all, even though if you trace any citizen

273
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: who attends these protests in every single city, the story

274
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: is the same. There's a long afternoon of peaceful protesting

275
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: and then the cops show up and start antagonizing people.

276
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: Like it's it's I mean again, it's like I feel

277
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: naive for being shocked at it, but it's just that

278
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: that reflection is nowhere. Yeah. Well it just goes to

279
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: show how much the police unions have like bought bought

280
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: our politicians and so many ways to the fucking strongest

281
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: union in the country. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know what

282
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Well, that's weird. Every other union, it's like,

283
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: let's fucking eviscerated. And then hey, the police, what do

284
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: you need? What you need some kind what do you

285
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: need fucking hundred fifty ton whatever these things are with hoses,

286
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: hosing people don't. I mean, it's even in Santa Monica, right,

287
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: peaceful protests in Santa Monica blocks away there were there

288
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: were looters. The police We're focused on the peaceful protest

289
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: because I think on a certain level, you need all

290
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: that other chaos to basically say, this is why we

291
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: need more tanks. Man, this is why we need bigger budgets. Man.

292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: You see what happens like, you know what we kill,

293
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: we kill unarmed person and the next thing, you know,

294
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: people want to do that. That's why we need That's

295
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: why we need all this stuff. It really did seem like,

296
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean that seemed to be in addition to the

297
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: media just being fully focused on on the looting, uh

298
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: and not the peaceful protests. The police were the opposite,

299
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and it was it was very very kind of eerie

300
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: to watch. You know, No, there were no police, Like

301
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: as the looting was happening, the police were not coming,

302
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: they were not paying attention, they weren't trying to. I

303
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: I think you're right, there's it seems like there's a

304
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: lot of you know, people letting things happen or causing

305
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: things to happen so they can escalate their argument and

306
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: blame the other side. And everybody who I spoke to

307
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: who was protesting had the same reaction that it was

308
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: the peaceful protests and the police showed up and started

309
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: And numerous things can and numerous things can be true

310
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: at the same time. There can be people that are

311
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: so mad they're burning shipped down. There can also be

312
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: people that see an opportunity to blend in with the

313
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: crowd so they can just function up for X, Y

314
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: Z reason and then whatever. They are also people who

315
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: I saw pushing black people in the back into into

316
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: police to try and create, like to evoke the police

317
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: using black bodies. That can also be true. There can

318
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: also be white supremacists infiltrating this to try and instigate things.

319
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: There can also be bad faith actors who are doing

320
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: all kinds of other weird uh recordinated graffiti and v

321
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: There are so many things that can be true. However,

322
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: the biggest, the biggest thing that still needs to take

323
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: front and center stage is white white supremacy and over policing.

324
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: Because we got those two examples. If you weren't on

325
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: board for white supremacy, maybe if you're a white person

326
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: and you saw that old fucking man get shoved over

327
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City by a riot cop, what the

328
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: funk for that was? Like? I was like, whoa, I

329
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: didn't think they did that to old white people. That

330
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: was kind of a trip for me to see, because

331
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: it was one thing when they're ramming a squad car

332
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: through a group of people who are just trying to

333
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: peacefully brock block the road. But it's another when you

334
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: just see some dude who's agro for no reason shoving

335
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: an old man down. It's like, exactly, because look at

336
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the kinds of people that we are employing in these positions,

337
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: and what these institutions are used for. Their institutions used

338
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: to uphold our capitalists, white supremacist system of governments. That's

339
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: all it is. They are here to protect private property.

340
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: That's all they are there for. And that also means

341
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: private property means oh, sorry, someone someone sold your building

342
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: you live in. We're gonna up the rent, can't afford it,

343
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: you're victim, gonna gentrify it now because Caruso wants to

344
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: turn it into Grove three point. Oh that's what they're

345
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: That's that's another version of this and these these whole things, man,

346
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: are about disrupting these systems of oppression, and again they're

347
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: living organisms, so they strike back. We want justice for

348
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: Tony McDade and Brianna Taylor and George Floyd and Ahmad

349
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: are By and Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin. And you

350
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: know what, you could start reading a list that you

351
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: thought it was fucking Aria's list times seven billion, okay,

352
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: and we can go down this list and there's still

353
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: not been justice because we have not disrupted this white

354
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: supremacist form of policing and governance. The whole thing is like,

355
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: look at all these systems that are so well funded.

356
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: The military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the are

357
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: militarized police forces. They get the best funding because they

358
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: do the best job of keeping people oppressed and keeping

359
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: people from actually getting in touch with their power and

360
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: improving their lives. You know who doesn't get money, education,

361
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: health services, community support services. Those are non discriminatory support

362
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: systems that help people get out of spirals of poverty

363
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: and what have you, violence or anything. But there's a

364
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: reason why, because that threatens to upend, it threatens to

365
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: disrupt these forms, these systems of oppression. So when you

366
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: see people go out there and go, we're so fucking

367
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: pissed at this, this is an up This isn't this

368
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: is a rebellion. This is an uprising pushing back against

369
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: what you define as a legal because all we see

370
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: is injustice. And you may use these terms legal and

371
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: law and code whatever section fuck you. But what we

372
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: see are people being murdered and there are no consequences.

373
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: And so if but if the police have to answer that,

374
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: that means they have to say, well, then do we

375
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: need to dismantle these this police department? Do we need

376
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: to do a review of all these officers and make

377
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: sure we don't? Yes, exactly. And that's too disruptive because

378
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: right now there's there's already a steady flow of money

379
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: going in our like Alla's budget. Damn, your three billion

380
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: dollars are going to the police. Wow, there's nothing unhoused people.

381
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: That's why because invest in the thing that is it's

382
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: all a down payment on the fight against poor people.

383
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: That's all these things are down payment on prisons. Is

384
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: if it's a down pad we have, well, we have

385
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: to put these people somewhere when they start sucking trying

386
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: to be like, give us our fair share. It's really

387
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: frust I mean it's on the city level. I mean,

388
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: it's so many cities have been completely fucking fumbling handling

389
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: these protests, like I have have yet to see a

390
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: city that has done it remotely well. And it's not

391
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the tone of the media coverage is

392
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: that the cities are so overwhelmed and surprised that they

393
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle it. But it's just absolutely

394
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: not true. There they have demonstrated with their money and

395
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: their influence that they are with the cops and that

396
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: they're the fact that they are acting in favor of

397
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: the cops isn't a mistake, and it's not out of fear.

398
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: It's an intentional it's it's what's been going on and

399
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: on and on, and I don't know, I mean, we've

400
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: all been calling our city councilors. But it's it's not

401
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: that they are like I'm not sure which way to go.

402
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: They know which way they're going to get, You're not

403
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: sure what didn't you see them like in other cities

404
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: just shooting at fellow members of the media. The National

405
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: Guard has been given permission to kill, to use lethal force,

406
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: like they know which way they're going. Yeah, yeah, exactly

407
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: if daughter got oh please so sorry, cops like off

408
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: yeah the um yeah, I mean multiple people pointed out

409
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: like when you look at the what what it looks

410
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: like when you know, in quotes, the something happens and

411
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: the police aren't ready for it, versus something happens and

412
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: the doctors aren't ready for it. The police show up

413
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: and in tanks and looking like it's you know, World

414
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: War three from like the future. And when the pandemic

415
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: happens in the healthcare industry isn't ready for it. The

416
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: doctors show up and have to reuse their paper masks

417
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: over and over again. Um used. Some of these cities,

418
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: I saw the fucking max suits from Pacific RIM pull

419
00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: up with and then meanwhy our medical workers and people

420
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: who are essential care workers, people who work in meat

421
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: processing facilities look like they're cost playing people in PP

422
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: not even the real thing. Alright, guys, let's take a

423
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: quick break and we're back. Really briefly, I want to

424
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: talk about a guy, David Grossman, who I was on

425
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: a Bastard's episode that dropped yesterday that I recommend people

426
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: check out for more texture on this but basically, I,

427
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, this fully informed every thought I had about

428
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: this uprising and the police response over the weekend, just

429
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: watching the police throwing people to the ground, driving their

430
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: cars into crowds of protesters, firing rubber bullets, like as

431
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: if you know, they are at war with everyone around them.

432
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: So David Grossman is a fake expert in a field

433
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: he made up called kill ology, uh. And it's basically, yes,

434
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: named it killology, and it's a course for police with

435
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: a primary focus on training the aversion to murder out

436
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: of them. Um. And he hypes up the idea that like,

437
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: police are more in danger now than they ever have been,

438
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: which is the opposite of the truth. He claims that

439
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: his whole like mode, of his whole mission is based

440
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: on this idea from the U S military, which, like

441
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: the thesis of full metal Jacket, is that the US

442
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: military trains the humanity out of people, or started training

443
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: the humanity out of people ahead of Vietnam. And that's

444
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: why that was like a heart of darkness, uh situation.

445
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: And he looked at that and was like, yeah, let's

446
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: do that with with cops. Essentially, there was this anecdote

447
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: that is dubious that World War Two, soldiers didn't fire.

448
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: They fired at each other ten percent of the time

449
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: because they had a natural aversion to murder. And then

450
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: prior to the Vietnam War, the Marines like started creating

451
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: killing machines and they started actually killing the the enemy

452
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: more frequently. And yeah, he even if it's not a

453
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: true anecdote, he looks at that and uses that as

454
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: an example of like what we need to change about

455
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: the police force. So he goes around she tells these

456
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: cops about, like shows them a traffic stop where a

457
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: cop gets shot and is like heard dying horribly on

458
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: on the thing. And then he's like, this person should

459
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: have shot the motorists before they had a chance to

460
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: be shot, Like they gave him too many chances. You

461
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: might have heard this guy's name or about his course,

462
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: because the cop who shot Philandoca Stele, who you can

463
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: see in the video his like you know, pink flushed

464
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: face on camera having the like what the funk that

465
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: I just do? Moment like screaming I told you not

466
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: to move. He was a recent graduate of Grossman's program,

467
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: and this program has been used in the Minneapolis area.

468
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Like it's not just about this dude, this is a minor,

469
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: like a small pinhole into like an entire like cancer

470
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: that is devouring our country. Uh. And it's just devastating. Yeah,

471
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: it's it's what we have to completely rethink. So we've

472
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: been having to rethink so many things, and you know,

473
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: my heart really goes back to activists who have been

474
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: screaming all of these things at the top of their

475
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: lungs for decades and now seems like maybe a moment

476
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: where we might be able to take a look at it.

477
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: But like I said, we're what we're dealing with right

478
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: now is one of the biggest problems in American society,

479
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: and the solution is not going to be quick by

480
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: any strang or easy. It's gonna take like we're rolling

481
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: our sleeves up. I think that's why when this episode started,

482
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's just fucking go, because I think we

483
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: the real work really really has to start here. And

484
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: if we're not thinking of how our police forces work,

485
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: they there you know, the serve and protect motto. Again,

486
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: I think everybody has had some form of the joke

487
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: of being like, you know, like they work for us,

488
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: but how many how many bosses can you kill? Can

489
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: you kill your boss, can shoot your boss, you beat

490
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: your boss, throw racial slurs at your boss, harass your boss,

491
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: because that relationship has completely been inverted and it's not

492
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: you are here too. You are here to just ensure

493
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: my safety from from people who are doing something illegal,

494
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: not for you to like enforce some other you know,

495
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: code of laws that you've created to generate tax revenue

496
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: from being poor. Something we've touched on a couple of

497
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: times is I was maybe one of the most striking

498
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: things about people's reaction to the uprising over the weekend

499
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: was how hard people ride for private property in America,

500
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: the degree to which people are like that that's what

501
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: they're worried about. There's there's police, you know, firing tear

502
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: gas at people who are protesting peacefully over here, and

503
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: they're moving their camera over to show somebody like taking

504
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: a pair of sneakers out of a store, like that's

505
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: that's I think it speaks to just how the foundation

506
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: of consumerism under the kind of runs through America, like

507
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: they the idea of that disintegrating. If burning the grove

508
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: to the fucking ground is going to save one life,

509
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: like what the funk are we waiting for? Like what

510
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, like just by by getting attention to like

511
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: drawn to white supremacy, the police guarding empty stores buildings

512
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: like more carefully than they're guarding the lives of any

513
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: But it's all a metaphor, right, how capitalism works. Those

514
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: stores are filled with our labor, with the wealth we created,

515
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: so they have to put their attack dogs in front

516
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: of it when people try and reclaim it. In this

517
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: parallel example, UM and even just the the absolute um,

518
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: like when you just think of how all of this,

519
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, consumer relationships you have, you know with private property, right,

520
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: that's like the like the white person's originary, like first

521
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: toy they ever got, right, whether that's taking the private

522
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: property of indigenous people or the artifacts from cultures they

523
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: have conquered. That's the that's like the first relationship that

524
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: gets you on the high of white supremacy is I

525
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: can take ship and that becomes mine now, and you

526
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: try and try and fucking come get it, try and

527
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: fucking come get it. That's that's like the exact that's

528
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: that same mentality being echoed back now, and it's really

529
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: it's really bizarre to look at when you think of

530
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: all that ship like manifest destiny and all that of Like, well,

531
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: I spoke to the manager of of Earth God and

532
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: they said it was our desk need to kick you

533
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: all the funk out, And I was taking this ship

534
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: and do whatever whatever the funk we want to um.

535
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: And it's when we see those things played out just

536
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: with these relationships, I'm like, I'm not confused or I'm

537
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: not surprised, but it's also just so when the irony

538
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: is a sort of fed back and like you're looking

539
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: at it visually. Yeah, it's like Stephanie Pratt, Stephanie Pratt,

540
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: like I I don't normally look to Stephanie Pratt from

541
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: the Hills for you know, my awareness of yeah, for

542
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: my cues on like social situations. But this just the

543
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: irony and the So she tweeted shoot the looters using

544
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: this tragedy as their excuse to rob and burn all

545
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: of our towns down. Um. And she also tweeted something

546
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: else about like won't won't you please think about Neiman

547
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Marcus type thing like her, But it's like, also, what

548
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: does she mean when she says our we know exactly

549
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: what she of course, she she was caught shoplifting dollars

550
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: worth of close from a department store like fourteen years ago.

551
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: But she thinks people should be punished with death for

552
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: get in line, because I think you were looting before them,

553
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: so in order, Yeah, your first, your first, bitchy, Oh

554
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: never mind, mean like that. That's a similar story with

555
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: the with whatever was going on with Jake Paul over

556
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: the weekend where he was found like live streaming looting

557
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: a mall in Arizona. It just like it's just so

558
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: fucking counterproductive and expected with who this person is that

559
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: it just makes your head spin. Well, I mean, I'm

560
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: not surprised because you will always see the appropriation of

561
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: black expressions of emotion happening by white people, you know,

562
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: like and in this unfortunate instance, this is anger. Uh.

563
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: And then you saw some kids running around who just

564
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: took that to be like, let's just fucking do whatever

565
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: the funk we want. It wasn't nothing anything to do

566
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: with it. But again, and I don't even want to

567
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: give air to all that, because all of this is

568
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: about our white supremacist capitalist system of oppression that is

569
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: expressing it in terms of trying to fire rounds at

570
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: the media or people who were like on their own

571
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 1: property and just get inside and then shooting people there,

572
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: people shooting Look at the they're they're not They're not

573
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: here to protect us. They're there to get off on

574
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: some weird inverted power fantasy they have from childhood. And

575
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: they happen to be somehow being the job that has

576
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: been advertised to them for decades, where this is the

577
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: one place you can beat the ship out of vulnerable people,

578
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: and like even the black cop won't even stop you. Yeah,

579
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: And I feel bad for these other cops because I

580
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: also saw videos of police officers who were emotional that

581
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: they were there staring down fellow human beings who they

582
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: knew were right and being upset with them and them

583
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: having to reconcile all that and process all that. But

584
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: it's like anything, you know again, it's like you can

585
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: can quit, Like yeah, and I get it. It's like

586
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: but and I understand though, because it's the same reason

587
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: anyone gets into something. You go into idealistically, and you

588
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: can think like I would never let that ship happen

589
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: around me. I'll never let I got into politics. I'll

590
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: never be on some bullshit like payroll or some fucking

591
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: earth destroyer whoops. And then you gotta have a gut

592
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: check and then think, okay, can you actually change it

593
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: or not? Because you also see what the examples are

594
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: of the police officers that do stand up for themselves.

595
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't end well. It certainly doesn't end with them

596
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: having any kind of pension. Yeah. Yeah, there's a woman

597
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: police officers stopped one of her colleagues from beating up

598
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: a suspect and this was this was like a year ago,

599
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: but she she was fired, that lost her pension and

600
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: brought up on charges of like tampering with evidence or

601
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: some ship. Yeah, there's been a lot of really good

602
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: podcast reporting actually on just cops who decide to try

603
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: and do right and reform their uh divisions, and it's

604
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: just all at war on them. Again, it's just and

605
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: this is but and this this is also how we

606
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: bring this into the light. See, we don't know this,

607
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: so most people just look at it as like, look

608
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: at that thing, just fucking rotten on the inside out

609
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: and unfortunate. But sadly there are people who understand that

610
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: it's bad and are trying to do right. But we

611
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: have to this is also time to bring all that

612
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: shipped out. So who are those people trying to do right? Please?

613
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: Tell your story out loud, because I think a lot

614
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: of people now will back you. More people, at least publicly,

615
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: the momentum of public opinion would be on the side

616
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: of someone who is trying to do away with dirty cops. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

617
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: And and a better understanding of what has been attempted

618
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: and how was it defeated, and having a better understanding

619
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: of exactly how these movements are internally crushed and we

620
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: never even find out, like what, what are the method

621
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: that have been tried, why have they failed? What can

622
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: we do differently? Yeah? I keep thinking about Christopher Dorner

623
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: this long, this whole weekend. I keep thinking back on him. Um,

624
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, he was a black cop

625
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: that was, you know, called out racism's department, got fired

626
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: and then he went on a cops killing spree and

627
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: then he was burned to death in a cabin and

628
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: big bear. Um. Yeah, it's about the system. It's not

629
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: about the individuals, you know. And his manifesto is like,

630
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: it's why he tried to lay out as as much

631
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: as everything is possible. These are the these are incidents

632
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: I reported, This is what happened to me. This is

633
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: the person who oversaw that hearing this is they are

634
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 1: now elevated to this position this Britain. Uh, it's yeah,

635
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: because again these syste they're they're living organisms. So if

636
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: you appear as something as as a threat to its existence,

637
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: it is going to try and extinguish you, because that's

638
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: just how things work. So if if whether that's an

639
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: individual officer or the kind of coverage of what is

640
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: happening in this country, the coverage is an antidote or

641
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: is a response of white supremacy to obscure what is it? Like,

642
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, why aren't they talking to people? Because if

643
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: they were, people be like, oh my god. This seems

644
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: like a broad coalition of people from all call kinds

645
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: of walks of life who, on top of supporting these

646
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: angry black black people in this country, are also upset

647
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: about this and are here to support them and also

648
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: feel that this is an injustice. But rather it's like

649
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: the the the the smart and finals. I think smoke

650
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: is coming from this, yes, okay, and they're running out

651
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: with Irish cherry cola. I believe, Oh, you hate to

652
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: see it, that's not that's not what the news is.

653
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: But you've but by doing that, that's just so disingenuous.

654
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: It's just such a disingenuous move, cynical move from the media.

655
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: But that's we shouldn't expect anything else because they all

656
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: have to work together too, feed us this version of

657
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: reality that we need to not start questioning and asking bigger,

658
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: better things out of our leaders. All right, guys, let's

659
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and kind

660
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: of break this down into smaller chunks, and we're back.

661
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get into this other piece I was

662
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna try and talk about. But when I look on

663
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: like right wing Twitter, and I look at a lot

664
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: of comments of like, uh conservative sort of defending, like

665
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: why they don't need to change right now, the common

666
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: themes that keep seeing are I don't have to feel

667
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: bad for these people because I didn't personally own slaves.

668
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the prevailing things I see.

669
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: Also see these people want to live like that, and

670
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: they just want to mooch off the system um and

671
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: then the other thing. Then they bolster that by saying

672
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: I know this because I see in it with my

673
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,479
Speaker 1: own eyes, or I work with these people. And these

674
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: are fantastic arguments as to why you shouldn't examine your

675
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: own behavior. Absolutely a great, a great reasons to be

676
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: like and I'm not gonna do any kind of close

677
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: self examination after that. But I think the real burden

678
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: for these people is to avoid having to realize that

679
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: what they think is wrong and may have actually been

680
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: wrong this whole time. All of these are self preservation

681
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: mechanisms because if you say, wait, I have to feel

682
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: bad for these people even though I didn't own slaves. Wait,

683
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: these people don't want to live like that and they

684
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: don't want to mooch off the system. But that's what

685
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: my dad told me, and my dad was a good guy.

686
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: I think I'm not racist normally, like, but that's what

687
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: I was told. So if I'm so, then the mental

688
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: path goes So if I'm wrong about this race stuff,

689
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: does that mean I'm evil? And then, because that's the

690
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: logical thing, and then boom, self preservation has to kick

691
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: in and says, of course, I'm not evil. Funk with

692
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: these people are talking about because that if that what

693
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: they say is true, that means I'm bad and I'm

694
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: not bad, you know, and that's not And I think

695
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing that people need to begin reframing to

696
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: others when they're trying to communicate and saying take it

697
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: like it's okay that you I mean, it's not okay

698
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: that you thought that, but that if if we're gonna

699
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: do something, you have to realize that those thoughts don't

700
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: serve you and they don't reflect reality. And if fact,

701
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: in fact, they're holding you back and they're holding other

702
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: people back, that's all it is, and that's how and

703
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: that's just how our minds work. We always have to

704
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: find a way to present, preserve our egos and make

705
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: sure that we're like, you know, not doing a bad thing.

706
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: But then if that sense of self is threatened, then

707
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: we just start doubling down on that bad behavior because

708
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: the other option is real, real introspection. So I'm not

709
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: going to do that. I'm gonna double down to the

710
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: point that I would just kill my fellow human being

711
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: who's innocent, because I've doubled down on this thinking so much.

712
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Every time someone tells me it's not right, I'm gonna

713
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: double down on that now, and I'm gonna tell you

714
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: it's it's actually everything I think is right. And it's

715
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: a hard place to dig yourself out of. But we're

716
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: not after people's guilt. So when people are like, well,

717
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't have to feel bad for these people. I'm not.

718
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: Look fucking we we've experienced what people feeling bad does.

719
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: It only leads to like lame diversity hires and sort

720
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: of like small pittances into like these diversity funds or whatever. Like,

721
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: it's not the guilt, it's it's about changing your heart

722
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: and your mind. That is what the real that's where

723
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: the juice is and all this, and that's again you

724
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: want to be able to say good for you if

725
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: you look bad, go fuck bro. Yikes, I was thinking

726
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: that ship. Yikes. I'm glad. I'm glad I can say

727
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: yikes to that. Holy sh it, I'm fucking I'm a

728
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: new I'm like, whoa, I'm me three point oh four

729
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: point oh. Allow yourself to make a mistake. It's not

730
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: that you're evil, because you have to understand, like all

731
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: of this ship has been mainlined into our brains through

732
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: the media and everything. It's amazing, Like if if you're

733
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, reasonable enough to believe that like the depictions

734
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: of uh, you know, violence in film or something, or

735
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: like how men are supposed to behave in film can

736
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: contribute to fucking skewed ideas of masculinity. Then you should

737
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: damn we'll be able to hop on the train that

738
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: white supremacy can also infiltrate your mind in very subtle

739
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: ways too, because you might be like, oh shit, I

740
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: didn't think I looked at my body because because of

741
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: that movie or whatever this person or with this poster,

742
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: you don't think white supremacy is entering your mind in

743
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: the same way. So take the time to just fucking

744
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: deconstruct that ship. But just take the time. We can

745
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: just be aware. We're not after the guilt or after

746
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: the awareness. So then you can fucking white supremacy ends

747
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: when people actually be like white. Oh, I know what

748
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: it is and I don't like it, not just like

749
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: I know it exists. Oh I'm I'm I'm experiencing it.

750
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm purple. Oh oh, just awareness. See, everybody is too

751
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: afraid of being wrong. Is the thing. I don't want

752
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: to have to admit I was wrong. I don't have

753
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: to have to admit that I have a leg up.

754
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to admit that there are

755
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: people who don't get the same opportunity. So there's a

756
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: little bit of an asterisk on some of my achievements.

757
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: People don't want to say, like my past was. But

758
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: it's like how many people are ashamed at shifting in

759
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: a diaper At one point in your life, We used

760
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: to do that before, you any better? Now you know better,

761
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: Now you do better, hopefully, But like it's just it's

762
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: so mind boggling how people tie their whole sense of

763
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: self into I was wrong at this one time, and

764
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: it's so much easier for them to just justify their actions,

765
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: even like retroactively justify, which is hella embarrassing for them

766
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: to like go ahead and make excuses for something when

767
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: you could easily do what I said, to apologize and

768
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: move on from it. Right. I used to have a

769
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: Red Yankees fitted hat like Fred Day, But I've come

770
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: back all right, and I'm not I'm not afraid to

771
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: admit that. In fact, I'm proud that I saw the

772
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: light and drink the hot dog flavored water and ate

773
00:45:53,200 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: the chocolate start. But that's that's inspiring because you be

774
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: up here right now in a puka shell necklace and

775
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: you're not doing that. You've moved right exactly. You look

776
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: at that and be like, WHOA, But I think The

777
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: thing is people should have a soft touch because I

778
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: see people screaming at each other about it, and a

779
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of people, I'm telling you, you can open someone's

780
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: mind a lot easier if you are so calm. It's

781
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: so off putting, yeah, because they're used to being like,

782
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: you're wrong that just if you if you come at

783
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: somebody aggressive, they have to be defensive. That's just how

784
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: it is. That's just how we work. You know, you

785
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: have your fist cocked, I'm gonna put my dukes up

786
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: and we're scrapping. But if you come up with your

787
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: hands to your side, you're like, hey, hey, how you doing?

788
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: Are you doing? Hey? Man? So I want to talk

789
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: to you about this stuff that's going on with this

790
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: white supremacy thing, Like I just want I just want

791
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just trying to be aware of it.

792
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: It's really interesting how I've realized how things have informed

793
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: how that's happened to me. Um, And I just was

794
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that you can also do that. And

795
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: they go, oh what, I don't care, those people are wrong.

796
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: Just leave that. Yeah, come come back again and just

797
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: do it like that, because eventually it's gonna it'll be

798
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: so weird where they're like damn, like they're always so

799
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: calm talking to you like that, and I'm always her screaming.

800
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: It's like, why am I screaming? M hmm. But again

801
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: that also takes self awareness, but soft touch also works. Finally, Maggie,

802
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: what's a myth? What's something people think is true? You

803
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: know to be false that reality shows are bad, that

804
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: they're bad entertainment. Mm hmm. That's false, Like they're so necessary.

805
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: I watched so many more reality shows. Now I have

806
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: a home girl that we will watch. We'll get on

807
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: zoom and watch reality shows together because it's like I

808
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: have to be able to watch someone make a bad

809
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: decision in their life. I'm at home ordering stuff and

810
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: just letting it get left in front of my door.

811
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: What are you watching right now? Oh? I'm watching uh

812
00:47:54,440 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: Married at First Sight? Yes, I'm into uh fiance you

813
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: Um I started up with Too Hot to Handle? But

814
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: that show is not too hot. It's so lame. I'm like, not,

815
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: y'all are that hot? Do? I mean? No? And the

816
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: whole premise of the show is dumb. It's like you

817
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: can't not first sight is it's it becomes like hit

818
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: or miss sometimes, but when those seasons are hitting, I'm like,

819
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: why did anyone ever gree to this? Like fiance I

820
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: understand That's why I like it. I get a little

821
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: international flavor, travel flare so much culture clashing uh and

822
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: other bullshit. But like when you watch Married at First

823
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: Sight and like you're like, oh my god, this dude

824
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: is like gaslighting her like constantly, and like they're not

825
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: even like no one's even actually describing that, even like

826
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: the experts, when I'm like, this is not actually okay.

827
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: They all made their licenses taken away. Someone needs to

828
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: yank Dr Pepper's license. They need yea pastor Calvin's church

829
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: away from him. Yeah, it is such a bad idea,

830
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: But like the Australian one. Have you seen that one? No,

831
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: so I just saw they just started putting the Aussi

832
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: version of it up even funnier because it's it could

833
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: take me even less out of Like sometimes I don't

834
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: like the American versions of shows, but Ausy Buried the

835
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: First Sight, I haven't been disappointed in the first episode.

836
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: Feeling the Aussy version and the UK version of reality shows,

837
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: it's like somebody who's like dabbling in drugs and then

838
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: goes like hard to the hard street drugs. It's like, wait,

839
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: you're mixing the pills with what It's like those little

840
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 1: the little anti drug things we watched in the nineties

841
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: where someone took one hit a weed and then like

842
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, yeah, exactly, next thing you know,

843
00:49:55,160 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: you're watching Jordy shore Um the statement that the reality

844
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: TV is necessary, that that is uh culturally necessary. It

845
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: should just be it should just be called watch these

846
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,959
Speaker 1: Idiots TV. It's not reality because it's not. I don't

847
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: and I think, I mean, unfortunately, there are a lot

848
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: of people who are watching me like cool man, that

849
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: place looks awesome. But I think really the thing that

850
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: people like we're all watching it for is just that

851
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: satisfaction to know there is someone out there making way

852
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: worse decisions than you are, and you can and you

853
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: can then elevate yourself pettily because we are so small

854
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: as we watch you go and I will sit stand

855
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: upon their shoulders to feel also like we might be

856
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: in quarantine for like what one two years, Like no

857
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: one is getting engaged in this one to two years

858
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: in society like crams it down a woman's throat that

859
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: you've got to be married by you know, thirty forty

860
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. Watching these shows, I do not have any

861
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: desire to go out and get married. Like it looks

862
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: ship like it does not look fun. And like anytime

863
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: any like anyone who has marriage favor or is like,

864
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: I gotta do this, I gotta make this happen. Go

865
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,479
Speaker 1: sit your ass in front of a married at first

866
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: sight and see what happens to them. Go google what

867
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: they're up to now and see whether or not you

868
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: want to hit your wagon to somebody just because you

869
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: know you're exactly. It's like, I just felt like, you know,

870
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: so many dead in relationships. It's like this is it,

871
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: you know, And that's why I'm just like I'm just

872
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: embracing this like experiment like that. Whenever you see those

873
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: people start off that married at first I think you're like,

874
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: this is all bad. Cut to them crying like in

875
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: a tropical resort, like yeah, he just said he's not

876
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: attracted to me. Yeah, I don't know what. All right,

877
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just laugh because I need this right now.

878
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm at home, like you're so stupid, bitch, and I'm

879
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: eating screaming, I'm eating funans for dinner. Like spitting the

880
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: crumbs onto the screen. And I'm a much smarter than

881
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: you flag learn to see a red flag. It's just

882
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: funion chunks of flying at your your laptop. You're like,

883
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: my return key doesn't work anymore as funny as I

884
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: got on the key foot. All right, Well, I'm I'm

885
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: glad we had this conversation. I was looking forward to

886
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: talking with you guys all weekend and it definitely helps

887
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: me to to hear you guys voices and perspectives. I

888
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: do want to say, right I spent this entire weekend.

889
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: I watched Unicorn Riot till my eyes were dry. I

890
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: rage scrolled through Twitter. I have probably seven thousand tweets

891
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: and drafts that I should just throw away my phone

892
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: because I was so angry and a lot of people

893
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: are angry, and you should be angry, and don't let

894
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: anybody tell you how to feel. I do want to

895
00:52:55,360 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: say this, though, be careful with what you're ingest during

896
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: this time, because keep that little flame alive. But if

897
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: you fan it too much right now, it will die out,

898
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: and you will burn out, and you will not have

899
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: the energy within you to keep this fight going. If

900
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: you need to take a breath. Please take a fucking breath.

901
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: Nobody is asking you for your take on social media

902
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: or anything else like that. I think you really need

903
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: to just take this second to realize that there's a

904
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of ship we're up against, whether that's our the military,

905
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: police state, and White Suprember, all these other things, they're

906
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 1: all on this. They're all on the same tree, and

907
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: it's and we're living in the shade of it, and

908
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: we're trying to get into the sunlight. And it's gonna

909
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: take energy to get into that sunlight. Though, So if

910
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,720
Speaker 1: you don't, don't burn yourself out. I understand it feels

911
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: good to be like but it feels good to be like, Yes,

912
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: I am responding to everything I'm seeing. Yes, this is

913
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: making me angry, so I do know. I'm yes. If

914
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: you've established that, great, but take a second, because we

915
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: there is real, real work that has to be done,

916
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: and we are really going to have to show up

917
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: in real big ways. People. Innocent people are being killed,

918
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: Innocent people are being maimed for nothing, whether that's the

919
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: people who are having interactions with the police, or those

920
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: are people who are standing in solidarity with those victims,

921
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: or independent journalists trying to hold people accountable. We have

922
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: to keep this energy up, so don't don't burn out. Now,

923
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: take a second. Take a second. You're not even in

924
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: You're not even in the blocks. You haven't even stretched.

925
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: We just you just found out that you made the team.

926
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: That's what happened. You have not trained for this. You

927
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: just looked on the thing. Okay, yes, you're on the

928
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: team and guess what we have tracked meets are the

929
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: rest of our damn lives. So get ready. But you

930
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: need to also be be aware that when you're on

931
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: this team, it's not ending. When we get the next

932
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: new whatever. Oh my, can you believe Trump did Nope? Nope, nope, no, no,

933
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: no oh, because then all that ship you're talking means nothing. Everybody,

934
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: everybody has to commit to that. That's the only way

935
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: you can feel good about this and not hang your

936
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: head and say everything is so fucked up? Why am

937
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: I even trying? This is bullshit? Because we need to

938
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: take a second, because we really do need to find

939
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: a way for us to all come together, to organize

940
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: and actually properly do this to make change. Because I

941
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: told you, if it's just a couple of us, we

942
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: get picked off. We can all find a way to

943
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: get on the same page. Whatever it is. There is

944
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: a there is going to be a way to do that,

945
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: and you will impress yourself with your ability to do that.

946
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: But that only happens if you have that ship going

947
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: until the end of your days. So don't burn it

948
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: out now, all right, that's gonna do it for this

949
