1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wok F Daily with

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Pre recording from the Home Bunker, Folks,

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: As we close out the year and go into just

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: you know a little bit of hibernation relaxation for the

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, we have done some amazing interviews

6
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: to leave you with as you are hopefully resting and

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: relaxing with family, friends, or solo or with the fur baby.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Today's conversation is with one of my longtime favorites, the

9
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Reverend Mark Thompson and host of Make It Plain, joins

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: us today to you know, provide a retrospective on where

11
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: we find ourselves at the end of this year, as

12
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: we embark on twenty twenty four, where black people the

13
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Black vote, where we think that is headed. We've all

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: experienced a lot and been through a lot, and you know,

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm bringing on guests over the break to kind of

16
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: give their final thoughts as we head into what I

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: believe is going to probably be the craziest, wildest, most

18
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, anxiety filled year in our lives, in this

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: country's history. This is going to be one for the books,

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: and it's why I continue to say that folks need

21
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: to take such good care of themselves. I've been having

22
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: internal conversations with myself about my health, about my rest,

23
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: about all of the things that I'm going to need

24
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: to have the stamina to get through. And you know,

25
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: this conversation is one of those things that give me

26
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: a boost, and I hope that it does the same

27
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: for you. Coming up next, my conversation with our friend

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Mark Thompson. Folks, you know that whenever we have the

29
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to get our friend, the Reverend Mark Thompson, the

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: host of Make It Plain back on wok F daily,

31
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: which people ask for you, Mark, I am always appreciated that.

32
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: I wish you can see his faith and reaction, surprise

33
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: and excitement they ask for you. Particularly, I get DMed about,

34
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: Oh when is when is Mark coming back on? And

35
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: that is that is true?

36
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: Mark?

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, as we close out this year, you know,

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: I am filled with a lot as many people are,

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot of worry, a lot of anxiety, a lot

40
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: of grief. I think that over the last several years

41
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: we have experienced so much collective trauma at the hands

42
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: of the MAGA supremacists, at the experience of living through

43
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: a pandemic, experiencing now multiple wars that we are actually

44
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: in modern time seeing the images and the videos in

45
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: real time. This is unlike other past conflicts, crises and

46
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: wars that we have had. With the exposure and the

47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: usage of social media, people are very weary, as I

48
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: know I am, and I wanted to get a sense

49
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: from you as you're thinking now, as we always do

50
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: a retrospective on the year, how are you closing it out?

51
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: What are you feeling and what are you hearing from

52
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: folks on the ground.

53
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, pleasure to be with you and.

54
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: Thankful anytime to be sought after and missed, particularly by

55
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: your audience. Maybe that means I'm doing one thing right

56
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: in my life. We're at a we are at a

57
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: very dangerous place, and I think that with the crisis

58
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: going on in the world, the crisis everyone's focused on.

59
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: No one is paying attention to the Sudan or Congo. Unfortunately,

60
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: you know, people to mainstream me to decide what's important.

61
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: But in terms of the crisis, what's going on. It

62
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: has messed up the world.

63
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 3: Communities are divided, cultures are divided, households are divided, even

64
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: amongst some of my Jewish friends. So the good news is,

65
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: for the first time in history, you have a massive

66
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: response with regards to what's going on in Gaza and

67
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: a demand that the Israeli Defense Force be held accountable

68
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: for what's going on in Gaza. Obviously their responses are

69
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: what about harmas well? What Harmas did was a surprise attack.

70
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: If anybody knew in advance what Hammas was going to do,

71
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: everybody would have said no to that Harmas happened. Now

72
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: we've known in advance every day what's going on in Gaza,

73
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: and people are aren't happy about it.

74
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: This. When this happened October seventh.

75
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: I immediately became concerned because I realized the impact this

76
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: could have on our domestic politics here in this country.

77
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: And so it took me back to the day in

78
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: the moment I lost my childhood innocence, Danielle. Now, a

79
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: lot of people can probably tell various stories about how

80
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: they lost their childhood innocence, but this is how I

81
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 3: lost mind. I was I was always very interested in

82
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: the news, interested in politics, interested in the world, interested

83
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: in journalism, interested in public theology. So at a very

84
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: young age I was up on stuff. I can remember Watergate,

85
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: even though I was just a kid, I remember seeing

86
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: it on television and getting some of that. January twenty,

87
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one, when Ronald Reagan lowers his hand, lowered

88
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 3: his left hand and took his right hand off the Bible.

89
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: The next words out of his mouth were, the hostages

90
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: are now freed. And we had been through an over

91
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: year long ordeal every day day, two hundred day, three

92
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: hundred day, four hundred of the hostages. We knew who

93
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: Reagan was and what he would do, but would helpless

94
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: to stop him because of.

95
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: The hostage crisis.

96
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: And so someone who most would consider even as he

97
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: is in hospice, if not then now would consider very

98
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: decent man lost the White House. When Reagan said that,

99
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: I said, wait a minute, how are you making this announcement?

100
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: You just took the oath of office. What are you doing?

101
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: How do you know that? What do you as if?

102
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: Almost as if he was taking credit.

103
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: For it right.

104
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: We later learned through the great journalists with Newsweek, Robert Perry,

105
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: who passed away recently himself, that Reagan had sent George H. W.

106
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: Bush and William Casey to Paris to meet with the

107
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Ayatola to have him keep the hostages. The term October

108
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Surprise is actually a misnoman. That wasn't the October Surprise.

109
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: The Reagan and people were afraid that Carter had in

110
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: October Surprise and would rescue the hostages. That what they

111
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: did was actually a prevention of the October Surprise. At

112
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: that time, the Bushes had a close relation with the

113
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: ben Ladens, and hw and Casey flew to Paris to

114
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: meet with Ayatola on Osama bin Laden's father's plane.

115
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: But that's another conversation.

116
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: So when I saw this October seventh, and I'm looking

117
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: at Joe Biden, I said, this is about more than

118
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: what we think it is. Why Because then Yahoo and

119
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Putin have a relationship. Putin and Trump have a relationship. Trump,

120
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Putin, I'm sorry Yahoo. Then Yahoo is the

121
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: Trump of Israel, under investigation, potentially under trial.

122
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: Nobody likes it.

123
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: Nine eleven resurrected the political career of Giuliani and w Bush.

124
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: October seventh, as He's called it, our own nine eleven.

125
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: That's what Nen Yahoo calls it. Residents is political fortune.

126
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: Although I don't think it's working because what the news

127
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: isn't reporting is all of the family members of hostages.

128
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: And protests that are happening all over all over the country.

129
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: Who can who can in an effort to root out

130
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: Hamas kill hostages? I mean mass with Jimmy Carter said,

131
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: you know, we just gonna blow up in around and

132
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: killed all the hostages. No, so there's that putin, and

133
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: then y'all have such a relationship. That's why even though

134
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: at least the third of the Ukraine is Jewish and

135
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Zelensky is Jewish, you haven't seen Israel anywhere near the

136
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: Ukraine and its defense.

137
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: And so this is very troubling. I think the Biden administration, I.

138
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: Think they know everything I'm saying, but they have to

139
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:51,119
Speaker 3: walk very thin line because in this country, one believes

140
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: that you have to show unconditional support for Israel to

141
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: win the Jewish electorate.

142
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: But I think they're missing something.

143
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: I think that's changed because I've been in the streets

144
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: with Jews here in America. You know, we live at

145
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: this technological age, so people in the past people to

146
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: have cell phones, people don't have access. There was no Algazier.

147
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: So people a saying, wait a minute, my so called

148
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: homeland is killing these people mercilessly. It's disproportionate to what

149
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: happened on October seventh, and a population that is a

150
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: majority of young people.

151
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: Half population in gazas is kids.

152
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 3: So what are we really doing here? Not only are

153
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: we risking in defense of their human rights, risking democracy here,

154
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 3: because that's what we're doing. Every time someone says I'm

155
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: not going to vote for Biden because of what's going

156
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: on in Gaza, you're you're risking democracy here.

157
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: What do you think Trump's gonna do? I've even had to,

158
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: you know, say some of my palstending friends, Oh, you.

159
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: Don't get in if you ever mentioned I said, well,

160
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: but what you also have to understand we got to

161
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: fight this battle on both fronts. We can't allow Trump.

162
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: What do you think Trump's gonna do. He's already said

163
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna do a Muslim band. You know he's gonna

164
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: support whatever this is nen Yahoo's doing because the three name.

165
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: But y'all just googled net and Yahoo and putin and then.

166
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: He hit Google images and his mind blowing, there's more

167
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: pictures than the am together, than me and Danielle and

168
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 3: so not exaggerating, this is the pictures coming over me

169
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: I've never seen so many pictures on Google of two

170
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: people together. I'm talking about spouses and couples. I've never

171
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: seen it. So I think we're in trouble. Michigan is vulnerable,

172
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: and I think what this White House is gonna have

173
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: to do is is yesterday, resolve this, shut this down,

174
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: because this is only helping the three people I named Trump,

175
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: n Yahu and putin.

176
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: You know the thing, though, Mark, is that first of all,

177
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: the history lesson that you just dropped is like just

178
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: a reminder of how dirty the bushes are, how dirty

179
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Reagan was, and just this is why the more that

180
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: people learn, the more distrustful that they become of government,

181
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: because you learn all of these things after the fact,

182
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: and then you have people like Kissinger right, who die

183
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: at one hundred years old and are never tried for

184
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: the millions of people that they killed with a lie

185
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: right of we're protecting democracy. We have to do these

186
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, type of covert actions because of blah blah

187
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, right, when we all know that it

188
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: has to do with money and power. You know, I

189
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: keep saying I had said when these events took place,

190
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: these horrific attacks on August seventh, They were absolutely horrific.

191
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Do you know what else? We learned that they knew

192
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: a year in advance that it was coming. Hey, do

193
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: you know what else we learned? That like, they were

194
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: doing practice runs that were called out by IDF military

195
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: that said, wait, this actually looks like the dry run

196
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: of what we saw, what we were alerted to a

197
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: year ago. And what did they say?

198
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: Hmm?

199
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: Keep quiet?

200
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: Right?

201
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: And I kept saying to myself, and I will say

202
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: it again. I'm not a foreign affairs expert, but anytime

203
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: that conflict arises, you have to ask yourself who benefits

204
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: from the continued violence? Who benefits and in what ways

205
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: are they benefiting? Right? Because it isn't just an ideological benefit, right,

206
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: it is a monetary one. We know that what is

207
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: ripe in the Middle East oil? Right? Whoever holds those

208
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: reserves holds the power to turn off and on right

209
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: the pipes. And so when I look at all of this,

210
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: I look at it from every angle, including what the

211
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: basis is, which is white supremacy, right and domination. Why

212
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: are the anti Semitics in the Trump flack uh and

213
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: and base like go rah rah rah for what net

214
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: Yahoo is doing because in their twisted and contorted minds,

215
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: they believe that this kind of violence will somehow usher

216
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: in the second Coming, Right, Like, this is where these

217
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: fucking people, This is where these people are, right, Like

218
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: people have to really understand like where the mindset is

219
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: around all of this. But I want to go back

220
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: to one of the things that you said, which is

221
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: about this October surprise and the fact that we know

222
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: that the bombs that are being dropped, the damage that

223
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: is being caused, the recent pictures that we just saw

224
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: of men and boys being stripped down to their underwear

225
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: being thrown in the back of IDF vehicles, us being

226
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: asked about these pictures, which they are not condemning. They

227
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: just say that they're disturbing, and they're asking the people

228
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: that committed those very acts to do an investigation. Mark,

229
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: where does that sound familiar when we ask the cops,

230
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: the whatever police department to investigate themselves after unarmed black

231
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: person is murdered, whether they are shot, whether they are

232
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: choked to death, what have you? Please? Oh, it's so disturbing,

233
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: go ahead and investigate yourself. It just doesn't make sense.

234
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: And I think that young people, people people of color

235
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: are looking at this situation and saying this looks eerily familiar.

236
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: Now, I would agree with you there, and again, I

237
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: think what people have to understand that this is a

238
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: part of the overall agenda to affect what's going on

239
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: over here. And so we get caught up in what's

240
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: going on over there and over here. We still have

241
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: voting rights on the line, affirmative action, education, black history,

242
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: women losing their bodily autonomy every single day.

243
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: And.

244
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: LGBTQIA community gets it. Marriage equality is on the block.

245
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: If Trump gets back in office, that's gone.

246
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

247
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: So when we look at all of these things, we've

248
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: got to figure out a way to deal with this,

249
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: and we've got to appeal to this administration to understand

250
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: that otherwise they'll be gone as well. I get the

251
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: impression that they do. I don't think they know what

252
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: to do. And it also doesn't help the Democrats have

253
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: never been good, as you and I have talked about before.

254
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: Then then you know, Democrats have never been good at

255
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: touting their own accomplishments and the things that have gotten it.

256
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: I mean, jobs are still being created, but doesn't matter.

257
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody's talked about that everybody's talking about what's

258
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: going on in Gaza. Just this week, I was with

259
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: CDWA Communication Workers of America, the union. They're not paying

260
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: the women who work at the call center who answer

261
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: the call for Medicare and affordable Care. They're not paying

262
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: them a living wage. The administration could pick up the

263
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 3: phone call the private contractor and do something about that,

264
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: but they won't do it. So I don't get what

265
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: some of that is about. I don't think Biden is

266
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: being served well by his advisor. Trump is releasing a

267
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 3: plan for Black America, and there are some black folks,

268
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: particularly black men, that are being duped in this thinking that,

269
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: you know, because Trump got this swag and you know,

270
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: I'm with it. Black women, as usually, you all gonna

271
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: have to hold us up. Some folks talking about what

272
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: he gave me my stemmych We ain't no more stimmy.

273
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: You only let the stemmy go and understand what's really

274
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: really at stake here. But I don't know that we'll

275
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: win that argument. It's kind of scary because even people

276
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: who I've known all my life are are confused, and

277
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: they're talking about not voting. That's the other thing that

278
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: has to happen I'm not even talking about people necessarily

279
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: going to vote for Trump. Now you have people say

280
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 3: they're not going to vote at all. At what people

281
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: need to be educated about is that.

282
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: Not voting is a vote.

283
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: When you don't vote, you voting because we only have

284
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: a two party system, so it's not like it it

285
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: doesn't hurt someone, it actually helps someone else because there's

286
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: still more of a us. There are more women. You

287
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: put together all the people who are affected by these

288
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: policies than a one time are considered minorities, women, people

289
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: of color, seniors, the poor. Put all us together, we

290
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: are together collectively the majority in this country. So when

291
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: we don't vote, that actually takes the one vote for

292
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: Trump and doubles it. It's a Trump vote times too

293
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: when we don't vote. But it's a hard sell because

294
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: people are getting me, will marked Biden is funding a

295
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: slaughter in godsp I have no response for that. He

296
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: is he is, and that's what the United States has

297
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: always done and it's time for that to change. And

298
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: then this whole argument when it's cancel culture and ironment too,

299
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: which makes it eve word. There's so many different tentacles

300
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 3: to this octopus. People getting canceled people being called at

301
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: They tried to you know, they tried to fire the

302
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: president of Harvard.

303
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: Now granted, whoever prepared those college presidents for their testimony, Oh.

304
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: My god should be fired. She would be FIREDE.

305
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: Watch this say two things to you.

306
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: Because we people the political advice that we're offering the

307
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: Biden administration right now on this show. People pay millions

308
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: of dollars for bad political advice, we're given it for free.

309
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: Same thing with those college presidents. They could have called

310
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: me and you the night before, what should we do?

311
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: Yep, we could tell the five minutes.

312
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: I don't understand that, but you know, thankfully the sisters survived.

313
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: But we're in that moment of cancelation. And for example,

314
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: for about a week or so, it didn't last, it

315
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: didn't didn't hold. But there was this thing, you know,

316
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 3: the Israeli government got mainstream needed to say, well, what

317
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: about raping women?

318
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: Women? Rape women? I heard raping of women, rape of women,

319
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: raping of women, over and over and over and over

320
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: and over again.

321
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 3: And they got mad when people said, but what about

322
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 3: you said the butt you anti semitic, and then you

323
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: wouldn't favor of raping women which which also was kind

324
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: of triggering to me. It should be triggering to all

325
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: of us as black folks. That's not the first time

326
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: in history that the sexual assault has been used yep,

327
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: to subjugate people. So, folks, you know more than one

328
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: thing is true.

329
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

330
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: Sexual assault against women is a war crime. There's one sentence.

331
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: Here's another sentence.

332
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: The killing of innocent civilian women and children is also

333
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: a war crime. All right, So no, there's no We're

334
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: not going.

335
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: To do the oppression or victimization olympics here.

336
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: Both are equally wrong.

337
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: One might be the greater wrong because the one we're

338
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 3: talking about death. You're indiscriminately bombing and killing people, but

339
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: you're saying rape because these are women of a certain culture.

340
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: He would go again, their lives are more valuable than another.

341
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: So that's unacceptable. But this is touring the world asunder

342
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: And you're right, they knew about it a year in advance.

343
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: At least the Bushes knew about nine eleven that later

344
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: came out. Conder leaves all of them because they all

345
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: knew about it. They knew about this. So we've seen

346
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: these moments in history where these things happen for the

347
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 3: benefit of those who are in power to maintain and

348
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 3: sustain their power.

349
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that this is where I become readily

350
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: disheartened and hardened right to the facts, which are that

351
00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, all of this is disgusting, right, the United

352
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: States unequivocal, you know, stance on what we have readily

353
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: said and seen as an unjust system. I visited Israel

354
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: and Palestine in twenty fifteen, and I came back home

355
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: jacked up emotionally, and I said, this place feels eerily familiar. Right.

356
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense that we refer to this

357
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: as the only democracy in the Middle East, because this

358
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: looks like no democracy I've known, Right, and so.

359
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: It it it is.

360
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: I think that people don't need to be foreign affairs

361
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: expert experts to understand that humanity is on the line here,

362
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: our collective and moral right, morality as people as humans.

363
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: When we can sit around and watch devastation, cruelty, violence

364
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: reign supreme, and then have nation states justify it and

365
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: think that you can bomb your way to peace, right,

366
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: that's just not It's not how it works. And so

367
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: my final question for you, Mark is that as we

368
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: turn you know, the calendar year with eleven months, you know,

369
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: to go. If you were to sit down face to

370
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: face with President Biden, what would you tell him in

371
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: terms of what is that stake.

372
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: What's at stake, President Biden, is your presidency and more

373
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: than that, really, because your presidency is the firewall against

374
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: pretty much the end of democracy and end the politics

375
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: in this country, the politics Joy read Afred Joe Reid

376
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: has already said politics in America is over, and that

377
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: may very well be true. But that's the only thing.

378
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: And Biden hinted it at the fundraiser. He said, if

379
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: Trump wasn't running, he might not even be running. He's

380
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 3: native one year old man who wants to do that

381
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: at that age and risk. You know, we just used

382
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: to be the cliche of the vice presidents in one

383
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: heart beat away from the presidency. That is literally true

384
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: right now. And I'm not wishing ill will on anybody anything.

385
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: It happened to any one of us any day, but

386
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: when you're that age, you don't know. So I think

387
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 3: that's where it stands. Look, the other world leaders got it,

388
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: President of France, Prime minister in Britain, Canada, they ran

389
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: up in Israel ran all oh.

390
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: Then Yahoo got back home.

391
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 3: Saw those people on the streets, which is bigger than

392
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: anything we've seen since Vietnam here in America.

393
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: When doctor King led those parts, whoop, they switched up.

394
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: You ain't hurt. You have not seen or heard a

395
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: word from those leaders. They are chilled.

396
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: You know, they're not running around and putting themselves right

397
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: in the middle of it. And then as someone that

398
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 3: this is just a theory, another analyst said this the

399
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 3: other day. Not only is there this Putin and then

400
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: Yahoo relationship, but specifically this is what it's for.

401
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: This this what I'm about to say is known. It

402
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: is not such just a theory.

403
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: When Israel sends his bombs in the Syria and other

404
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: parts of the Middle East where Russian missile defense systems are,

405
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 3: Russia says, we won't shoot your misciles down with our

406
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: defense systems as long as you stay out of Ukraine.

407
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: So we know that's one part of the deal. But

408
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: there's another hypothesis about another part of the deal. Let's

409
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: get everybody out of Gaza, and Putin says, I'll keep

410
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: bombing Ukraine, but I will then airlift any Jews in

411
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: Ukraine into their new settling homes in Gaza. All right,

412
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: So we got to look at the big picture here.

413
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: And if I'm not saying that's but that's a hypothesis.

414
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 3: If that's true, kind of fits the narrative. Why not

415
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: you drive everybody out of Gaza. You just got to

416
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 3: open space. We can't put anybody in there. And we

417
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 3: know that the settler issue, the expansion issue. People say

418
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: that it's anti Semitic, Well, have they not settled, have

419
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 3: they not expanded?

420
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: It's just an objective reality.

421
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 3: And the size of Palestine has shrunk since nineteen forty seven,

422
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: nineteen forty that is just a fact. So a world

423
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: that is more aware of these realities and more concerned

424
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: about them. Twenty years going with nobody nobody care. Let's

425
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: be honest. People have awakened. This younger generation has awakened,

426
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: and even some of the older generations looks say, you

427
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 3: know what, maybe that's just how it is right now.

428
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: You never know how things is gonna change. Danielle, folks

429
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: walk up on twenty three in October twenty three say

430
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 3: you know what, we ain't with this no more.

431
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: We little over this whole bombardment.

432
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: Let's take you know, the Palaestitians out Horets the Liberal publication,

433
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: the Liberal General.

434
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: They have documented all of then.

435
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 3: Yahoo's favorable comments about hamas funding them because they created

436
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: a foil real quick.

437
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: Since Listen's lad.

438
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: To hear from me, check out the Netflix movie series

439
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 3: Cleo over the Holidays.

440
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: Have you watched that yet? No? I haven't.

441
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: I've heard about it.

442
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: So it's about a young lady who's it's a revenge movie.

443
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: She was a member of the East German Stace in Berlin,

444
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: the Secret Service, and they did some pretty hainous things

445
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: and she's out to get revenge and to get this

446
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: red briefcase. Nobody can reveal the contents of it's safe

447
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 3: and took the way she's trying to get to it.

448
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: But when the briefcase finally revealed, I'll just give you

449
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: a spoiler, but you gotta still watch it.

450
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: Didn't spoil whole movie. You gotta watch it.

451
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: What it's really about is how the Reagan administration financed

452
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: the East German government in Berlin and in East Germany

453
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: so that the Reagan administration would have a foil in

454
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: this country. So when he's over there tear down his wall,

455
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: he's literally been financing the people on the other side

456
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: of the wall, Hamas is that full for Nan Yahoo,

457
00:28:59,200 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: they don't want a.

458
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: Two stay solution. Nope.

459
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: So we have to look at this and what I'm

460
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: saying does not even I know, sound conspiratory on any

461
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: of our listeners, but neither to a lot of people

462
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: in the mainstream now because they're seeing it for themselves.

463
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: Yep. That's the good and bad of social media.

464
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: There a lot of bad things about it, Elon Musk,

465
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: but there are some good things. Is because for every

466
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: colonel of foolishness, you still get some kernels of truth

467
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,800
