1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Nighting trend Geist. I don't know. I'm Jack O'Brien. That's

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Miles Gray. This is our first time talking to you

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: after fucking harrowing weekend. Um yeah, where we saw white

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: supremacy re exert its dominance to media coverage and the

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: police response to protesters. Uh man, it's heavy. It was everywhere,

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: and it was violent, and it was aggressive and in

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: your face and just man, it was not America did

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: not respond well to uh that stress test, and especially

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the police absolutely absolutely botched everything. They couldn't have the man,

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: it was full stormtrooper, which which brings us to even

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the first thing that's trending. David Mcattee, which is a

13
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: and was killed by the National Guard in Louisville. He

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: was shot and he was killed for what you hear.

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: I've watched the video from like a bystander. You can't

16
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: like see any of the people shooting or being shot,

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: but just the sound of the shots. It sounds like

18
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: a shot goes off. There's like five seconds and then

19
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: there's like seven eight shots, just written rapid succession. It's

20
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: just like that. That's not like a quick reaction, that's like, okay,

21
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: who do we don't know who it is. Let's as

22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: as one of the stormtrooper as cops walking down the

23
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: middle of the street said about somebody sitting on their

24
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: porch letter up. Uh that there it is. I mean,

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because even Akmadena Jodd hit the

26
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: US with a fucking meme own although that man has

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: no leg to stand on, but like it was just

28
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: basically taking a thing from Pompeio talking about the unrest

29
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: in Iran and switching all the details to be about America.

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: And it's like, what is the difference aside from the

31
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: nouns and adjectives, because it's the same thing that's happening, like,

32
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: which is even why that one Jabuki tweet was so

33
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: funny last week when he's like, okay, so, which one

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: of these countries is going to come to the US

35
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: and established democracy because this is usually what the US

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: does to then be like yep, I think, uh, I

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: think we can. I think we stick our nose in there.

38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: I think so, and we'll use the moral high ground

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: that we will not apply to our own country, which

40
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: is just like a really really dark irony of all

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: of it too. Um, so I hope there's justice for

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: that man. And uh, yeah, I don't even know what

43
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: to say. Like, even throughout all that, you still have

44
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: more black bodies in the street, and that was always

45
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: going to happen because of the way the way the

46
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: way we're policing our country, the way this press is

47
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna handle the handling these things. Um, it's unfortunately get

48
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: into detail about you know, a little background on the curfews,

49
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: on the mentality of police officers on tomorrow's episode. But yeah,

50
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: hopefully there. I mean, I I will not accept any

51
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: any version of this that is not that there's like

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: no evidence. No, the camera wasn't on like ship like that,

53
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: Like that's no, not not when it just shot an

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: innocent man. That's all it is. That's there's nothing, there's

55
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: no way to put it. He was that there was

56
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: a crowd there, he's not armed, he didn't he didn't

57
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: hurt anyone. And these tragedies are only just gonna keep compounding. Wow,

58
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: with this president in there and the police absolutely doing

59
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: unwilling to do anything to begin to actually give people

60
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: a sense that there that justice could be had. Yeah, Virgil,

61
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a blow is trending the off white designer of because

62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: he work he works for like one of the big

63
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Louis Vuitton. He's like the head of Louis. Uh. Yeah,

64
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: he's getting in a ton of ship because he has

65
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: joined the group of celebrities who probably should have just

66
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: shut the funk up and not said anything at all. Uh.

67
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: This has happened to a lot of people. Shamik more

68
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: from into the Spider verse. Uh went on a misguided

69
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: rant and turned into an Instagram live that didn't go

70
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: so well. Virgil Uh, you know, he's that he got

71
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: his start working with Kanye West and that really kind

72
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: of helped give a name for himself and he became

73
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: so big. He was actually the more talented of the two.

74
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: And when it came to the fashion that he his

75
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: own ship had set sale and he's you know, achieving

76
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: a lot of really fantastic things, including being I believed

77
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: the first black head of Louis Vuitton. But the things

78
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: he was saying over the weekend he came after or

79
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: his take on some of the looting that had been happening,

80
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: like with some of the streetwear clothes in Los Angeles,

81
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: was just completely like on some respectability politics slash like

82
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: shame on them, like what about the rich people who

83
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: it was just completely took the wrong side on that one.

84
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: And then like the people were getting really upset that

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: he only donated fifty dollars to a bail fund and

86
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: then like was like swinging his receipt in the air

87
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: like look what I did? Uh, And people were like,

88
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: excuse you, aren't you? I believe you have a little

89
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: bit more money than that, Mr Applow. So yeah, I

90
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: think it's more a lot of people are just noticing now,

91
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: especially like what celebrities are doing, because people still have

92
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: these relationships with them and still look to them for

93
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: cues as to what is good or bad. I think

94
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people are coming to that conclusion on

95
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: their own, but a lot of people are still like, well,

96
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: what's this person said, what's that person said? A lot

97
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: of them have said nothing, and that's really disheartening. They

98
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: have to burn down every store that has uh off white,

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, shred of clothing in it or looted or whatever,

100
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: just to get attention paid and save somebody's life, like

101
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: how are you? And let's be real, those consignment stores

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: that people were stealing from Virgil alblows clothes are in there.

103
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: So when he says things like, uh, this is fucked up,

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: you see the passion, blood, sweat and tears Sean, he's

105
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: refrenishing on Weatherspoon, who owns this store. Round two, he says,

106
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: they put in for our culture. This disgusted me to

107
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the kids that ransacked his store and rs VP downtown

108
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: l A and all our stores in our scene. Just

109
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: know that product staring at you and your home is

110
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: tainted and a reminder of a person I hope you aren't.

111
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: What the fun is that set the funk down White

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: House is trending. You know there's been some really wild

113
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: ass protests out in front of the White House. Uh

114
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, some bonfires. Uh, some ship that has definitely

115
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: gotten the attention of the Secret Service. The President has

116
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: gone and hidden down as a little bunker. Not for

117
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: that long, not for that long though, just a little bit,

118
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: just uh working out as Twitter fingers down there. Um

119
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, they I guess they turn the lights off

120
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: that point at the White House because they were worried

121
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: about I don't know, they're hoping people forget, were worried

122
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: about drawing attention to white supremacy and having to actually

123
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: have a reckoning with it. As the administration and power

124
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: right now, we talked about this tomorrow might be everything.

125
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: Every time we're not talking about white supremacy and over

126
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: policing of our communities, we are we have missed the point.

127
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: We have failed to actually discuss what is what is

128
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: being expressed right now in this country. So you know,

129
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: with all the ship people want to whoa that Panera bread?

130
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh they're running out with baggetts. Oh boy, he felt

131
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: with m h, that's not what this is about. And

132
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: so offering these other things to talk about are merely

133
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: distractions from the real issues that are that ended up

134
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: making our country look the way it did because we're

135
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: not addressing the real problem. Yeah, and I mean the

136
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: one thing I do think we need to keep an

137
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: eye on with regards to the White Houses, Trump using

138
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: anything in the coming year, but especially this to consolidate power.

139
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's going to try and find as ye like.

140
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: On one hand, I can't think of a way that

141
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,479
Speaker 1: may have actually got a lot more young people interested

142
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: in how to change something, because there were a lot

143
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: of young people out there who knew they didn't like

144
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: what was going on. But might not have the tools

145
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: to do it. So on one hand, it may have

146
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: inspired people to go to the polls, and on the

147
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: other hand, that means that voter suppression tactics are just

148
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to get that much more intense, uh to

149
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: fight that off. So please be aware of all of this. Yeah,

150
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: But the I think the thing we just need to

151
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: be aware of is that how Trump uses the the

152
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: news story and how he communicates to his base is

153
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: going to be because you're gonna have a lot of

154
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: Fox News watchers saying that, uh, like poor black people

155
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,720
