Now I'm glad we're at that point. 89 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of it is plug and play now, 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: like you know, and eventually even the RSS feed is 91 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: going to be a thing of the past, and for 92 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: some people it is. 93 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: Depending on what you use and stuff like that, you 94 00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: don't even have to worry about it. 95 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: Well, what I mean is stuff like just even how 96 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: you get on the internet, you know, the format of 97 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: an MP three, the big compression rate, stuff that people 98 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: don't really consider too much unless you're like nerdy. You know. 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: I know people now that don't even own any podcasting equipment. 100 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: They just get their laptops, go to a website, sit 101 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: down and record, you know. 102 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 3: Don't no mix or nothing. 103 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: You can just be on zoom make a podcast. Now. 104 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: The poll was do you have white friends? Yes? 105 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: No? 106 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: Or I'm the white friend. Wow. So that's how y'all 107 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: really feel. This is a fifty to fifty pole. 108 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: Oh shit. 109 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: Forty eight point one five percent said yes on our website, 110 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: forty eight point one five percent said no, and then 111 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: one percent was the white friend and let's check out Spotify. 112 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: Sixty six percent do have white friends. That makes sense 113 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: because they have the money. So you have to think 114 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: money puts you in a circle where you can't help 115 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: but have to have some white people around in your life. 116 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: So sixty six percent of them have white friends, thirty 117 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: one percent do not have white friends, and four percent 118 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: are the white friends. I think the main thing we 119 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: can draw from a conclusion of these polls is that 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of white listeners share our 121 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: podcast with someone we're trying to grow. That was a 122 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: comment for the show, because we need to do better 123 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: with these white people. Apparently, I mean, tell check to 124 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: listen to us, and then we'll set up straight on 125 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: your behalf and you just pass it aggressively, be like, 126 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I just I 127 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: didn't say anything about the Juneteenth ice cream they did them. 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: The coach says, I do all the time. Steven says, 129 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: holy crap. Rye used to simply explain how I've been 130 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: feeling lately. As soon as there's no room for nuance, 131 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting that conflict as an abuse book. I peeped 132 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: Don's cast episode. Great dialogue, thanks Steven, And honestly, like, 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people, they'll understand where 134 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm coming from because I think I'm articulating a lot 135 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: of stuff that people are wanting to say, and maybe 136 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: they feel uncomfortable saying that right now. I don't think 137 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying anything controversial. I'm not trolling, and I'm not 138 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: out to hurt anybody's feelings. But I'm done with and 139 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: sick of the kind of gotchat shit that people do 140 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: that are supposed to be, like ostensibly on my side 141 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: of issues, and we're supposed to be We're always talking 142 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: about building coalitions and this diversity blah blah blah, but 143 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: then we have zero tolerance for people learning. We have 144 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: zero tolerance for people that don't get every word right, 145 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: even when the intent is there. You know, that whole 146 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: intent doesn't matter. Shit is a big crock of shit, 147 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, like it because people I understand what it 148 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: was supposed to me, but how we end up using 149 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: it is normally to justify our cruelty, you know. So 150 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: I think I think there's a lot of us that 151 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: are frustrated because everyone's frustrated, but frustrated in a way 152 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: that's a lot less polarizing and a lot more like dog. 153 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: Let's just be pragmatic about certain things because this other 154 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: stuff isn't getting us where we want. And we've given 155 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: it a try. It's been ten years of everybody being 156 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: on social media pulling up all tweets and saying we gotcha. 157 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to be getting us any of the 158 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: stuff that we claimed they will get. 159 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: Us right, And the same energy that a lot of 160 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: these people give other people, ay they can't live up 161 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: to them same standards because you know, you question them 162 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: as everything. But whatever the topic is on hand, the 163 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: same tactics that they claim that other people who they 164 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: go outter don't do, they do those same things because 165 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: the tactics actually work, and also could be very frustrating 166 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: because they would be mad if these same things were 167 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: used against them. No errors, no mistakes, be perfect black 168 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: and white, be on all the time, know the right 169 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: things all the time.

That's 337 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: what they always say. We got three comments on the 338 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: next episode, the official June teenth ice cream. Uh Appia says, 339 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: here are my important thoughts on the exportation on the 340 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: exploitation of June tenth, four oh four not found. I'm 341 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: not stupid as a comment this on this as a 342 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: white person from Europe, smart Indica says, I mean, that's 343 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: the whole reason we did that segment was to hopefully 344 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: get Appier canceled. 345 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 3: But she is too smart smart, she's not to say 346 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: she was like, nope, don't catch me. 347 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: Indiga Iri says, I fully understand the outrage, but that 348 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: flavor sized delicious. I just want to bite. Yeah, And 349 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: also and I feelness. I did find out later and 350 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: I think on the next episode I said that that 351 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: TM doesn't really mean what I thought it meant, which 352 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: was like, this is some exclusive Walmart shit. Nobody can 353 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: use Juneteenth to sell ice cream. So uh yeah, I'm 354 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: less mad now than I was at the time. I 355 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: would have got some of this ice cream, although I 356 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: guess the worst version of this is I do get 357 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: the ice cream to make fun of it and not 358 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: eat something, and it's delicious, right, I would know, like 359 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: that's the worst versions, like it's even better than cream delicious, 360 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: or I'd be like, oh fuck, I shouldn't have Now 361 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm just a legitimate fan. Mdri says, I love my people, 362 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: but I swear to God, this is always both hilarious 363 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: and frustrating. I wanted that Juneteenth ice cream. I know 364 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: they have cream, delicious and stuff, but it's hard to 365 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: find in my area up north, and now it's fully 366 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: sold out online, and before that it was like thirty 367 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: dollars with another ten dollars shipping for four pints when 368 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: I just wanted one pint. So at least let me 369 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: get the coon version. I think the trademark thing is 370 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: the only thing that actually pissed me off about this. 371 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: I just want. I know folks want the June teenth 372 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: to be recognized nationally by all of America, and I 373 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: think part of that holiday being recognized is that companies 374 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: will capitalize on it because now it's known outside of 375 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the Black daspora. Now, just like Memorial Day, Pride, etc. 376 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: We will see heavy commercialization of it. And it's one 377 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: of those things where if companies don't put anything out 378 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: for Junete, but do, say Pride or another holiday, there 379 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: definitely would be a contingent of folks who will complain 380 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: because when we expect companies to be woke, they will 381 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: always be. This will always be the response capitalizing on 382 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: the event as a sign of virtue, signaling yeah, I'm 383 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: with you. I'm with you man, I'm so with you. 384 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think this is the only 385 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: thing that can come from diversity and inclusion in these 386 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: corporate spaces. It's going to be products and it's gonna 387 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: be jobs. 388 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And I don't don't have a problem with 389 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: it at all. That's why I think. I remember I 390 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: give it like a twenty five or zero or something 391 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: like that, because my thing is I. 392 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: Want the cor commercials. I want the mattress sales. 393 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: Like I want to be like President's Day, like I 394 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: wanted to be a big ass or a deal like, 395 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: you know, because in America, we American, that's the fuck 396 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: what we do when it's up and then whin it's 397 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: an official holiday, you know, because everything goes on sale. 398 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: You hear about everybody giving discounts. You know, I want 399 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: to get one off. Like if we're gonna do it, 400 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 2: do it right. We can't be like, uh, celebrate Juneteenth, 401 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: but don't do the commercial. Don't do the commercial realization 402 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: of it unless it's us. It don't work like that. 403 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's see, we had the poll on the Spotify, 404 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: which I fucked up so it says zero percent. My bad. 405 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: Didn't mean to do that. Let's see the Q and 406 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: A was pulling double duty. Because Karen said that joke. 407 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: It was funny. Ernest says, do do dude, do doo dude? 408 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: Aaron said. Ernest says that. Aaron says, since I can't vote, 409 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: I won't I would not buy Juneteenth ice cream. Uh. 410 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: Setra says, this is my phone or your podcast being 411 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: cut short on Spotify for the last week. I don't 412 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: get the smoochs at the end or even the sowred 413 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: ratchetess Ooh, I don't know. I have to look into that.

M m m. That's what Karen said. 441 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the last episode, twenty five 442 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: to thirty five is always Morning in America. We got 443 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of comments, and one of them very long, 444 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: Ramsey said Ramsey. Djinga says, good morning, Roger and Kern. 445 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm still playing catch up on the podcast for the 446 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: past two weeks. I miss being in a chat. So 447 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: last night was a treat. Roder's right about guns being 448 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: a problem for mass shootings in America, but unfortunately it's 449 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: harder to vote than purchase a gun. 450 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: It is. 451 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: That's true. That is true. My coworkers think that I 452 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: that if everyone prayed and trusted God, the mass shootings 453 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: would stop. I'm so tired of America and all the violence. 454 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: Apple says, so far, those players prayers don't really seem 455 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: to help. Appia says from another continent. The shootings in 456 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the reactions scene kind of bizarre. One the terrible shooting habit. 457 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: Two people send thoughts in prayers. Three same people point 458 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: out that there are too many, too easily available guns 459 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: in America. Four insane people. Unfortunately, the other half say that, 460 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: in fact, more guns than needed. A gun for every 461 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: child and every teacher, a gun for every dog, that 462 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: would help. For sure. They try to blame someone they 463 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: don't like for the shooting, like black lives matter, trans 464 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: people or Gratigy Thronberg. Uh yeah, and and and that 465 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: that that number four is so important because they will 466 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: literally say anything other than the accessibility of guns, and 467 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to the point where they will say, uh, stuff that 468 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: they are against, like mental health, like we need better 469 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: mental health. Uh uh, I don't know. Avenues and resources, right, 470 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: and then the other thing too for for our throw in, 471 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: and as I mean, it's responsible gun owners. They're part 472 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: of the problem too because they represent the vast majority 473 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: of gun owners in America and so few of them 474 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: feel any need to speak up until someone says we 475 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: should restrict some gun ownership, and then they come out 476 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: of nowhere like hell to the non. It's like, we 477 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: have a problem. You Are you on our side? Are 478 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: you with these nuts? 479 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: Right? 480 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: Because these people, whether you're a responsible gun owner, good owner, 481 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: or whatever, you're very very very unlikely to be in 482 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: a situation where your gun actually stops one of these 483 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: kind of killings. We've had entire departments of police force 484 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: that have guns let these things happen because they don't 485 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: want to die. So you know, I don't know, it's 486 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: just sad. Five, nothing changes six and new shooting habits. Yeah, 487 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: And they say, don't feel go numb, but I'm numb. 488 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: I'd love to tell y'all was a numb. I'm numb 489 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: because I wouldn't survive any other way. Abbia says, listen 490 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: to the Jackie and Laurie Show, two great female comedians 491 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: in their fifties, and they talked about how after the 492 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: pandemic breaks, lots of clubs went back to only high 493 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: straight white male comics that only maybe one or ten 494 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: hours is a diverse, higher meaning non straight white man. 495 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: So I don't really believe this poor guy who claims 496 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: to be a victim of anti white racism. From the 497 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: sales point of view, I understand him. It's a great 498 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: way to get work from right wing media outlets. He 499 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be good, just acceptable to be the 500 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: new hero. That's so true. We're saying bored but very 501 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: bored by the typically white bro comic, and I always 502 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: glad to hear different voices. Yeah, I mean that's the 503 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: thing for me, is like if I guarantee, if you 504 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: do a macro, look at the industry, it's still the 505 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: vast majority straight white dudes getting all the opportunities. Agreed. 506 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: Like they look at the inclusion of like say thirteen 507 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: percent of a roster being not a white dude, and 508 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: go look at this, All those jobs should have went 509 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: to white men. And I still blame the company. I 510 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: hope the company get sued and I hope they lose money, 511 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: because tell these people the truth, you're not good enough. 512 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: We're not looking for people that are not good enough. 513 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Stop saying this other stuff. 514 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 3: Market. Yeah, all, I tell them the same jokes. 515 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: Because when it's black people, they never even when we're 516 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: good enough, they never give us the this speech. Hey, 517 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: it's just you're black and we don't need any black people. 518 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,479 Speaker 1: They give you the you're not good enough speech, They 519 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: give you the up. Well, I don't have to tell 520 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: you why you ain't get it right. 521 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 2: That's what they should have told this dude. We decided 522 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 2: to go onto the route and hung up the fucking phone. 523 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: You thought you were helping his fucking ego making everything 524 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: feel good to this guy, and he went up there backstabbed. 525 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: You got a lawsuit, Joe says. Walmart did that ice 526 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: cream thing all wrong. Don't actually call an ice cream 527 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: gente teenth than if you do. There has to be 528 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: a special brand extension for it. Can't just stick it 529 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: under the great value label. We all know that's just generic. 530 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: Walmart is barely in the community where I live. They 531 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: didn't bother coming into the big bad city until they 532 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: had exhausted all other options for growth, and it's around 533 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the areas. But now they want to stick a trademark 534 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: on it. I know it doesn't mean they own the name, 535 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: but that TM was very prominent. They should have tried 536 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: to get this place under the Paddi LaBelle Good Life label, 537 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: or created a new black extension. That's a good point. Uh, 538 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: this might not have worked either, but it wouldn't have 539 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: been looked at hand fisted and slapping gent teenth on 540 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: great value ice cream tub. Yeah. I think to be honest, 541 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: I think people would have had a problem with it 542 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: no matter what, because Black people are insecure about these things, 543 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: and we are insecure with good reason, but we're in 544 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: but we are insecure. And it gives me the same 545 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: vibe of Black History Month when cafeteria serve traditionally African 546 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: American food and there's always some students or some people 547 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: online who complain, and I always think to myself, one, 548 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: probably we're black people who fought for that to be 549 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: included on the menu. And because you ain't saying that 550 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: shit when it's Mexican Heritage Day and they bring into tacos, 551 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: you're not saying that. For aapi month when they bring 552 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: in the Asian foods from all around the world, You're 553 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: only saying that when it gets to black people because 554 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: there's a level of insecurity that says, you cannot honor us, 555 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: We cannot be honored. We are we can only be 556 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: mocked because we have been mocked so many times. We 557 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: don't even inclusion in the honoring while we're jealous of it, 558 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: and we go, why can't we have that? When we 559 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: get it, we go, this isn't real, you see what 560 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because we've never really had it before. It's 561 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: like we've had a bad relationship and we're looking through 562 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: the phone of our new person we're with, you know, 563 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: because that we've had so many rough times, it's hard 564 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: to really see what genuine inclusion. But genuine inclusion is, Yeah, 565 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: we do have fried chicken for a Black History Month, 566 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: and yeah they are gonna be collar greens, and yeah 567 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: they are gonna be black eyed peas and and you 568 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: don't have to eat it. But this is the food 569 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: of our people, and this is a cafeteria that wants 570 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: to introduce the cuisines of all these people to different 571 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: different people with different it's and it's not picking on you, 572 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: We're not, you know, like, but I get it. It's 573 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: it's just a hard conversation to have because you know 574 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: that's not I guarantee it's not the only time they 575 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: serve fried chicken, so you can't even pull it up. 576 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: They never do this before, you know. It's just we 577 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: have a complex about being black and shining the spotlight 578 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: on blackness because it becomes representative representative of everyone, and 579 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: then it's like, what is this saying about us. It's 580 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: saying we have some we have a culture of delicious 581 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: food eve. He says, Honestly, I'm so numb about to 582 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: all the shooting. I have to protect my head in 583 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: my heart by not going down the rabbit hole on 584 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: social media. I knew nothing would change when that softball 585 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: game got shot up. As for Nick Cannon, he's turned 586 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: out to be a scumbag. He can't have all those 587 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: kids of different women to have a full relationship with them. Arow. 588 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he's wealthy. I'm sure those kids 589 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: would rather have the emotional support in his time. I 590 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: keep thinking about the Yanla episode where the man that's 591 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: holding all those baby dolls shaking my head. 592 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and my thing is this, we know nothing about 593 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: the relationship Nick Cannon has with any of those women 594 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: because it's not public yet. 595 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: He might have great relationships with all of. 596 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: Those women, you know, like, we just don't know. 597 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: And so, you know, I know a lot of times 598 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: when it comes to celebrities, which and this is not 599 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: at the person who wrote in, we take our own insecurity, 600 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: we project them, so we're under the assumption that this 601 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: is what he's doing. But unless unless y'all know something, 602 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never heard I've never seen anything 603 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 2: of any of these women coming out saying this dude 604 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: ain't shit. I've never seen of him talk about he 605 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: on pay, child supporting, he not there for his kids. Like, 606 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: I haven't seen any of those things, you know, come 607 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: out to make me just automatically jump to he is 608 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: a scumbag because he's living this particular type of life. 609 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know enough about that man. Everyone seems 610 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: to be going into these relationships fully aware of what's happening. 611 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of the women complaining about him, So, 612 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if that happens at 613 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: some point. But yeah, the same way I feel about 614 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: most celebrity shit. Okay, you know, it's entertainment, we can 615 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: talk about it, but I'm not even gonna pretend to 616 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: know their business like that, and the real truth of 617 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: it will come out when those kids are old enough 618 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: to speak about it, because that's who your real judge 619 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: is gonna be about parenting in every one of your situations. 620 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: Everyone who has a parent a child, the real judge 621 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: of how good or bad you are is gonna be 622 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: that kid when they're old enough to speak about it. 623 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and have it and have their own the penis 624 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: and form their own opinions. 625 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 2: Like I say, and the person running you might be right, 626 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: but you know, there's nothing that has came out to 627 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: actually say the distance. 628 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean, on the outside looking in, it would seem so, 629 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: but I just don't know. I don't know. I don't 630 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: know what those are. Seem to be a bunch of 631 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: consenting adults that full well know that man's history and 632 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: want to have a baby with them anyway. I know 633 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: people that want to have babies with them anyway. Now, 634 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: So anyway, Black Caesar wrote this long ass they with 635 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: no spaces in it or anything. Man, I'm gonna read it. 636 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure hopefully that it's good. But give me some punctuation, 637 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: give me some spaces. It's hard to read a big 638 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: ass solid block of tags like this without losing my 639 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: place and all that stuff.

Oh no, yeah, like y'all, it makes it 642 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: kind of hard for me, So you know, if you could, 643 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: let's see, I'm tired, so goddamn tired. All I'm seeing 644 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: is politician reporters on Twitter saying we gotta do something, 645 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: not offering a fucking solution to the problem. Gonna be 646 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: super transparent to tell you that I'm a gun owner. 647 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: I own more than a few, and for no other 648 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: reason than I like to shoot. As an engineer, I 649 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: think guns are cool, and that's really it. I don't 650 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: need them at all. At the same time, I know 651 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be able to own some of the guns 652 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: I have because I don't need a thirty round magazine 653 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: to hunt or protect my home. Either way, my hipocritical 654 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: ass wash into a gun shop at the top of 655 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: the pandemic and walked out with an AK forty seven 656 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later. I'm done trying to speak for a 657 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: responsible gun on the sense they care about guns over kids, 658 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: So maybe they'll listen to some pissed off, irresponsible, and 659 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: there's more guns in this country than there are people. 660 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: If they tried to round up all the Aks and 661 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: ar fifteens, we be looking at Civil War two point zero. 662 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: That's just a fact. White men clutch their guns because 663 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: they feel it is the only thing stopping black and 664 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: brown folks from getting a revenge for slavery and other 665 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: injustices throughout history. So what's next, legislation? Sandy Hook didn't 666 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: do shit, and those dead brown children won't do anything either. 667 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: You're right rod Anything other than the Australian approach to 668 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: mas shootings in this country will not work. So what's next? 669 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: Liability insurance? Make every gun owner buy liability insurance for 670 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: their guns. You do something stupid with your gun, from 671 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: a negligent discharge to bodily harm when you're financially responsible. 672 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: I know that won't bring a loved one back at 673 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: their tragedy, but fuck it's a start man. That's a 674 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: good I do. I hadn't heard that one before. You 675 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: want to own twenty guns present company included, then you 676 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: need twenty individual policies for those weapons. Costs depending on 677 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: the type of gun, the magazine capacity, and guess what 678 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: I sell my shit tomorrow. You want to buy a gun, 679 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: let's go talk to your therapist. You don't have one, Well, 680 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: let's figure out if you're a danger to yourself and others. 681 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: These niggas talk about the great replacement theory, all while 682 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: exterminating themselves with death by suicide at the highest right 683 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: in the country. You want to steal own a gun, 684 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: drag your ass down to the range twice a year 685 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: and pay the Pass of Safety Operation exam to own it. Oh, 686 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: you own twenty game guns, bring them to and yes, 687 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: you have to pay and pass qualification for each and 688 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: every single one. Y'all have children in your home, but 689 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: you don't own a safe disqualify you threaten gun violence online? 690 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: Just qualify. Make owning a gun so inconvenient to have 691 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: the gun on the safe. Fuck it. When I was 692 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: in the military and went from our security claris, someone 693 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: interviewed my mom, my dad, my best friends, previous employers 694 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: and coworkers. They looked at my finances to see who 695 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: I owe money to. They talked to my therapists. They 696 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: requested my parents' immigration paperwork. They got all in my shit. 697 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: I just don't see why that can't be applied to 698 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: gun purchases. These are death machines designed to kill man 699 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: and destroy whatever is in front of it. It's not 700 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: a prop political statement or even a god given right. 701 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: Before we can even discuss legislation, we need a serious 702 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: culture shift around guns and gun ownership. Unfortunately, we live 703 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: in a society that worships the gun and is filled 704 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: with armed people who have never heard the word no. 705 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: And for all the dummies who say get rid of 706 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: all the guns, only the criminals, I have them. If 707 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: you removed all the drugs off the street right now, 708 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: it's the price of the brick going up or down 709 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: in Cluarly, these niggas never seen the episode of the wire. 710 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the ramp, but I got too much 711 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: skin in the game to be quiet, and I'm tired 712 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: of a coming numb to the shit. I have elementary 713 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: age kids and my wife and school teacher. Middle school teacher, 714 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: she's underpaid, can't use a math book with black people 715 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: in it, but hey give her a gun in the classroom. 716 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: Shit goes left fuck out of here. If giving up 717 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: all my guns secured a promise of safety for my family, 718 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: say less, It's done. Unfortunately, these responsible gun owners and 719 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 1: amo sexuals are too bitch made to speak out against 720 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: the fuckery and the firearm community, or even fathing the 721 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: idea of a nationwide gun boy back program. Even the 722 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: National Digital Registry love y'all love the show. Whoo, I'm 723 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: glad I read that, Thank you, even without the spaces 724 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: and stuff. That was fire. And that's all I'm saying. Man, 725 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: it's a lot of people that own guns that notice 726 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: is wrong. And you know, I look at them the 727 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: same way like when something like during the Me Too 728 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: movement and stuff. You have men that said they were 729 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: good men that said they had never done these things 730 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: to women that said they didn't agree with it, but 731 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: yet they didn't want to say that because they were scared, like, oh, 732 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: this is an attack on men. What a man gonna do? 733 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, to me, if you're telling the truth, right, 734 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: if you're telling the truth, you have no choice but 735 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: to be a person that goes, yeah, that they should 736 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: These men should not be working. It should be wrong 737 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: for a producer to say come to my room, I'm 738 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: gonna fuck you. And then you get apart number one 739 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: that should be wrong already. That's a fucked up power dynamic, 740 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: and it's not it's already messed up, but you're so 741 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: focused on being jealous of women on some inceel shit 742 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: that you don't even see how that power dynamic is 743 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: fucked up for the dude to do, because the implication is, oh, 744 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: these women want that shit. But then when a woman 745 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: says no, oh, they tell you we're being sexually sawt it, 746 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: we're being black ball from the industry. So that means 747 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: it was never really a just a proposal of like, 748 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: if you want to oh, it really was. It was 749 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: our idea that the vast majority of this is just 750 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: men abusing power. And so when you go I ain't 751 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: saying nothing because of men. I'm a man and I 752 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: don't want no problems, what you're really saying is you're 753 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: okay with it. And I feel like that's what I 754 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: think when I think about a lot of gun owners 755 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: that claim to be responsible, supposedly ninety percent of them, 756 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: and they're like, nah, I don't want to say nothing. 757 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: What if they take my gun. It's like we're not 758 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: even at the taking gun point. We're saying, can we 759 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: just not let people have these assault rifles? Willy Niely 760 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: we need to go back to where you just can't 761 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: go cop one and fifteen minutes later you're shooting up 762 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: a school and they're like, not even that. They get 763 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,919 Speaker 1: so wrapped up in their identity as a gun owner 764 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: that the memes I'm seeing from people, I'm like, what, 765 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: that's what you took from a school shooting? Is what 766 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: about my right to own my gun? You took that 767 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: from all? Right? Anyway, the Paul, are you sad Juneteenth 768 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: ice cream was canceled? Yes or no? Yes said yes 769 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: sixty eight percent. Now let's see what the people with 770 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 1: money to actually afford Juneteenth that does any difference. I'm 771 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: just kidding. Everybody can afford great value, but no, it's 772 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: about to say thirty three or sixty seven. So yeah, 773 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: I just like that. There's a third artist that I 774 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: identify with that's a little sad. It's like I did 775 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: want to even for the high jinks. I wanted it. 776 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: And the quote of the episodes, it's the guns, y'all, 777 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: the guns. Quinn says, it's the guns. Aaron says, lock 778 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: them guns up. Raphael says that my Veterans Lounge and 779 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: campus p w I. In twenty fifteen, a white Vet 780 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: once said the only right Americans are guaranteed is the 781 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: own guns, not healthcare access protected. He receives treatment at 782 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: the VA. By the way, Wow, characters, Roger Fringdon on 783 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: my Second Amendment rights with all this truth, Tamor says 784 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: facts one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, and Helton says, 785 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: do you think white criminals get treated with more dignity 786 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: at the shooting? I don't know, hm, I mean, see, 787 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: the problem is this shit happens enough, but people that 788 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: aren't white don't do this enough for me to truly 789 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: have some type of even balance, Like it's a handful 790 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: of not white people that do to shoot the police, 791 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: shoot up a bunch of places, and then those people 792 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: often that do these shootings want to be killed by 793 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: the cops. So then like on an individualistic level, like 794 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: I can't really it's such an anomaly to do this 795 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: shit in the first place, I don't really have I'm 796 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: cherry picking, is what I'm saying. I'm doing. It's where 797 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: of my biases lied, and my biases of course lie 798 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: with if that was a brother, they would have shot them, 799 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: you know that kind of shit. So of course Dylan 800 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: Ruth getting a cheeseburger and Kyle Rittenhouse getting you know, 801 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: of course these things are going to stand out in 802 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: my mind. I just I'm I'm just admitting to y'all 803 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 1: I'm biased, and I don't know that the facts hold 804 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,479 Speaker 1: up like it might be ninety nine point nine percent 805 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: of these motherfuckers get killed by the cops. All I 806 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: know is the few the handful of times where they 807 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: weren't killed by the cops that stick out to me 808 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: are all the the ones that are white dudes and 809 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: normally over some racially motivated shit. So that's my feelings 810 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: on it. But once again being cognizant and aware of myself, 811 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: just letting you know that may not be true. But 812 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: I saw they got some burger ca So I mean, 813 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: like it was not a good look. And I think 814 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: also it really says a lot that so many of 815 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: us just wish that these people get killed by the cops. Yeah, 816 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: it says a lot about us that we're that, it 817 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: says what we really believe policing is for. And I 818 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: think a lot of us just want them killing the 819 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: right people, which is a fucked up thing to say, 820 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: because that means to a lot of people that love 821 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: the police and support the police. Killing unarmed black people 822 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: is the right target to them. So message all right, 823 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: let's get into these emails. Got no voicemails Tails from 824 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: the Loop on Amazon Prime. It was just Rond the 825 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: writ thing to tell us to watch Tales from the 826 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: Loop on Amazon Prime.

Hey Karen, and sorry for the long email. 829 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm a gay black man and I was excited to 830 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: listen to the new Kendred because I knew it was 831 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna be filled with lots of deep messages. Unfortunately, I 832 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: saw the reactions to people on people on Twitter and 833 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: follow a lot of gay people on Twitter, so I 834 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: saw a lot of negative responses. All I saw were 835 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: people talking about Kendred using the f slur and dead 836 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: name of whoever he was talking about in the song. 837 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: They included the screenshots of those lyrics, and I was 838 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: disappointed in surprise, and he will say those things, But 839 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: then I just laugh because of course he's just another 840 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: rapper and that's what they do, right. Honestly, I decided 841 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: not to listen to the entire album based off what 842 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: everyone online was saying. I didn't care to listen to 843 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: the album anymore. Then, after listening to you and Chris 844 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: Lamber talk about the album, I decided to give it 845 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: a listen. It's a great, deep album, and I'm going 846 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: to have to listen some more times. I understand everything 847 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: he said regarding Auntie's diaries. I understand why people will 848 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: be upset because the f slur and this whole topic 849 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: is just triggering the people, especially regarding transgender issues. I'm 850 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: still not comfortable when I hear the f slur in 851 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: the song, but I do understand the meaning and how 852 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: he was basically talking about how they'd say it all 853 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 1: the time, willy nilly, and he didn't understand how I 854 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 1: went packful and hurtfully could be until he interacted with 855 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: trans and possibly gay members of his family. I think 856 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: people are retaliating because they were caught off guard by 857 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: a straight man using the f slur, and once they 858 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: hear it, instead of trying to understand the message, they 859 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: want to get them canceled. First of all, Air, I 860 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 1: appreciate you writing. 861 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 3: Then, and. 862 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: I listened to an episode of Marsha's Plate podcast. I 863 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: want to say it's the latest episode. You know, all 864 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: the episodes are good, but this latest episode, uh, well 865 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: we got some of a Diamond's trip to France. Oh 866 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: that was dope. You know, like I didn't know they 867 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: were going to talk about I was just listening. And 868 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: then they had these great segments closer to the end 869 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: where they talked about pronoun landmines, where you know, within 870 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ space is how like some people can weaponize 871 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 1: pronouns and that is not a clear delineation the right 872 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: and wrong that like, there's some people, whether they be 873 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: allies or just actual LGBTQ people, they put their pronouns 874 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: in their bio, they put the pronouns on their emails 875 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, you know, to normalize pronouns so 876 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: that people can feel like, I'm one, I'm a safe person, 877 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm an inclusive person. Yes, there's a bit of virtue 878 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: signaling in it, but also it's a way of saying, 879 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: let's normalize this so that if a trans person has 880 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: to give their pronouns, it's not a big deal since 881 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: we all did it right, But there's trans people that 882 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: don't like that at all. And then what do you 883 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: do when it's not when it's in person and I 884 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: introduced myself to you, because maybe I've been introduced myself 885 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: to everybody. But I go, Rod, he him, and you go, 886 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: did Rod just clock me? As a trans person? Is 887 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: OUTI means some type of way is this? You know? 888 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: What does that really mean for me? And it's individual 889 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: And when that person wrote in last week, that was 890 00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: the only thing I was trying to explain, was like, 891 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: it's an individual thing. And if you don't come at 892 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: it from such a like place of admonition, of admonishing 893 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: these people, I just think it opens up so much 894 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: more to honesty, the truth. But we get so caught 895 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: up in these black and white rules. And it's specifically 896 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 1: a lot of that has happened because, in my opinion, 897 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,280 Speaker 1: because of social media and our need to make everything binary, 898 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: which sounds hilarious and ironic when you think of it, 899 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: and we're talking about how people identify gender wise, sexual orientation, 900 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: all these different things, which the whole point was to say, 901 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: it's not a binary but we want to got people 902 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: so bad, we want to get them that we're like, 903 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: you can't even tell your story, you can't tell your truth, 904 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: you have to lie in perpetuity. You have to lie 905 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: in the past in order to make this. 906 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 2: Thing work, and which makes no sense because everybody grows, 907 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,720 Speaker 2: everybody evolves, everybody. 908 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 3: Changes, language change, language grows. 909 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 2: Language evolves, and we live in a society where you go, 910 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 2: you said just ten years ago. It's like, yes, but 911 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 2: it was acceptable ten years ago, and I don't do 912 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 2: that now, and people go fucking and you be like, 913 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 2: the fuck is this? 914 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'm it's not even that it was acceptable right cause, 915 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: like it wasn't acceptable to everybody, correct, So you just 916 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't know, right and now you do know, and we're like, 917 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: you can't even say you didn't used to. 918 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 3: Know like that. 919 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: And it's a very binary thing. It's very like you 920 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: said it as opposed to what is the context of 921 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: what was said. I don't like living in that world. 922 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to do my podcast that way. Fans 923 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: can be that way, but that they need to start 924 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: their own podcast, you know what I mean. We're just 925 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 1: not the show for that. It's and I feel, you know, 926 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: similarly with race. So this isn't something like because it 927 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: ain't my fight when it is my fight, when I'm 928 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be amped up and I'm like, you know, 929 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: like I know people that try to recontextualize Robert Downey 930 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: Junior's blackface and stop Tropic Thunder, And I'm like, no, 931 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: I was there for that, right, I'm black too. Now 932 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: you don't have to like it. Maybe someone didn't like 933 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: at the time. That's not a representation of most of us, 934 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: and it's definitely not a reputation of me. And last 935 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 1: time I checked, this is who does the podcast, Me 936 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,800 Speaker 1: and Karen. So if so, I'm not obligated to be 937 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: offended on your behalf. And if you need one hundred 938 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: percent commitment to your being offended and your emotional state, 939 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: then what that really means is that you're insecure about 940 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: your shit because I'm standing on my own two and 941 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: be like, well, niggas don't gotta agree. Fine, you know 942 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: so I think that's big. I'm not writing in the 943 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,439 Speaker 1: podcast to change their mind. I don't give a fuck. 944 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 1: You know, I know me and I know myself. But 945 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: all that to say, like, so they had that pronounced thing. 946 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: I thought that was just a dope conversation because it 947 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: was very nebulous. It was like, Yo, it can be 948 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: difficult and awkward, it's worth it. But people can weaponize it. 949 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 1: People cannot like you, someone can be in this case 950 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: that a terf someone trans exclusion, their radical femine's a 951 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 1: person that believes in gender essentialism. You know, a woman 952 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: is a person whatever, a Janna and that's it and 953 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: then whatever, right, And so they use that jk rowling, 954 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 1: you know that like that, they use that to be like, 955 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't want trans people around in the LGBTQ space, 956 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: like you still a man to me, You shouldn't be 957 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 1: alright with these feelms, you know that kind of bullshit, right, 958 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 1: And so they can then weaponize it like oh, yeah, yeah, 959 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not using your pronouns or you you fucked 960 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: up my pronouns or what you know. I don't like 961 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,760 Speaker 1: this the idea saying they until you know my pronouns. 962 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 1: I don't even like that. If you would have asked 963 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 1: that person, they probably would have said some fucked up shit, 964 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: because it's really about their discomfort with you being around 965 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: as a trans person, right. So, like anyway, my whole 966 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: point being, that was a great conversation. Then they talked 967 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: about Kendrick Lamar's Auntie Diaries, and it was kind of 968 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: a short conversation, but everyone there kind of expressed frustration. 969 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: And this is one of the things I keep talking about. 970 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: There's so many people that are talking over trans people's 971 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: experience because I think, like anyone that lives in a 972 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: treacherous or traumatic situation, people cope. But there's also levels 973 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: of hope within there and then and the people that 974 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: actually live that experience a lot of times are not 975 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 1: as stringent as the allies and the online discourse and 976 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 1: the stuff like that, like for instance, and one of 977 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: the things one of the intersections I'm in is I'm fat, right, 978 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm fat. I don't like when people like pick on 979 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: fat people. I don't like when people point out people's 980 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 1: bodies all time, and I think it's kind of weird, 981 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: and and how obsessed we are with it, and how 982 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: we make people feel bad about all the time and 983 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and and ways we don't for other things. 984 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 1: But but it's fine. At the same time. I've learned 985 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: to live with it, and there's some human fun in that, 986 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: you know. I like being the fat dude that can 987 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 1: play basketball if everybody goes damn, I didn't know this 988 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,879 Speaker 1: motherfucker's gonna be able to move all that. I love 989 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: that you know what I mean. But at the same time, like, 990 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 1: that's one of the ways I cope with the ship 991 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 1: that it gets thrown at me for no reason at 992 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: some point in a lot of cases. And it's and 993 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: so someone speaking on my behalf might say some shit 994 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: I actually don't agree with. Yeah, like they might think 995 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,439 Speaker 1: they have my back, you know, like, don't say this person, 996 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 1: don't say Lizo is fat. And I'm like, but she 997 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: is fat. What's wrong with saying she's fat? The problem 998 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: becomes when you make it such a derogatory, mocking thing, right, 999 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,879 Speaker 1: her being fat is a fact. You trying to turn 1000 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: fat into a slur. I don't want that, you know 1001 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 1: what I mean. So, you know, it's that kind of 1002 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 1: thing that I think people don't necessarily think about because 1003 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: they think they're helping, and it's day you end up 1004 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: with them policing language and restricting shit and being like 1005 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 1: coming down on people and shitting on them. And it's 1006 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,720 Speaker 1: incentivized online for us to do that. So of course 1007 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: Twitter the night Kindred's album came out, before you even 1008 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: get to Auntie Diaries, people were taking screenshots of all 1009 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: kinds of shit out of context and be like, look 1010 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: what he said about this, and if you listen to 1011 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: the song, it's like, that's the opposite of this, or 1012 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 1: in context, what he's saying is that this is all 1013 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 1: kinds of bullshit. People just want to know because it's 1014 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: the number one thing. It's breaking Spotify because so many 1015 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 1: people are listening. How can I siphon some attention off 1016 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: of it? And at the end of the day, it's 1017 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 1: like they don't really care about trans people. They don't 1018 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: really care. It's like, what I care about is writing 1019 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,280 Speaker 1: a blog that will get the attention and the clicks. 1020 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,799 Speaker 1: What I cares about making a Twitter thread that'll go viral. 1021 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: That's what they care about. And I think when you 1022 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: listen and not that these are representing these people on 1023 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Marsh's player the representative of the entire community, but just 1024 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 1: to hear a conversation where it's like, oh, okay, I'm 1025 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: not crazy, right, Like people understood the intent of the 1026 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: song and artistically what he was going for right there 1027 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: wasn't just everyone heard it and immediately got offended. Some 1028 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: people may have, but that's not representative of everybody. And 1029 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: it's important to see that this can be viewed multiple ways, 1030 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,799 Speaker 1: even if it doesn't mean one it's right or wrong. 1031 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, it just means it can be viewed multiple 1032 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: ways and everyone doesn't have to like get down or 1033 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: lay down with one version of events agreed. 1034 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 2: And the biggest point that you bought out was particularly 1035 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,240 Speaker 2: online and for a lot of people that are allies 1036 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 2: and help, they speak so loudly that they begin to 1037 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 2: speak on the behalf of a moginalized group. But you 1038 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 2: don't even ask the marginalized group, like in totality, what 1039 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 2: they think, because it's more about you being right than 1040 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 2: about actually how the group feels itself. So you know, 1041 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 2: it's like Atlanta, watching that episode in Atlanta and Darius 1042 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 2: how the white people got more mad on his behalf 1043 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 2: that he was actually upset and went off on that 1044 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 2: woman and gotta kicked. 1045 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:12,879 Speaker 1: Out the house. 1046 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,840 Speaker 2: And I was like, well, damn, that's not that's not 1047 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 2: even really what he wanted. But at some period of time, 1048 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 2: it's not about what the moginalized group want. Black people 1049 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 2: go through this, other marginalized groups. 1050 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 3: Go through this. 1051 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,919 Speaker 2: It's like other people get involved and it becomes less 1052 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,399 Speaker 2: about you and more about them. 1053 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so, like I said, I think the fun 1054 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,759 Speaker 1: part funny part of it, or the fucked up part 1055 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 1: is that those people wanted you to not listen to 1056 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: the album. Just listen to me, right, But here's the 1057 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 1: math I did. That changed a lot of stuff from me. 1058 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: After you went and listened to it and found out 1059 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: that you disagree with them, or maybe they were even 1060 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: just dead wrong. You have to look at the people 1061 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: you've surround yourself with it online, because those people were 1062 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 1: telling you that with the hopes that you would never 1063 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 1: go investigate and that he was canceled you he was 1064 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: a bad person. You listened to it came away with 1065 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: the opposite of that, were like, no, this is a 1066 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: good person. This is what good people think, this is 1067 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: what good people do. It might not fit the academic mold, 1068 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: they might not be perfect, but it's absolutely the kind 1069 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 1: of support that so many people do not get in 1070 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 1: their life, you know what I mean? Or that those 1071 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:28,879 Speaker 1: people I guarantee you, I guarantee you. I would bet 1072 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:36,320 Speaker 1: every trans person that's black has been supported by some 1073 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 1: money that didn't have the right words or academic shit, 1074 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: but they knew for a motherfucking fact that person had 1075 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 1: they back what I would. 1076 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 3: Go to bat for them and be like, what you 1077 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:49,879 Speaker 3: ain't gonna do is fuck with this part. 1078 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 1: I'm not saying everybody was supportive. I'm not even saying 1079 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: the majority of people, but there's gotta be at least 1080 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: one or two people in their life that was like, 1081 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what's going on, but I love 1082 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 1: you and whatever you need that I'm capable of doing. 1083 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,840 Speaker 1: I got you, And no, I might fuck up the words, 1084 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 1: I might say some shit, I'm not keeping up the 1085 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 1: date on the latest terms and all that shit. 1086 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 3: I'm not on social media, might not be online like that, 1087 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 3: but but you know. 1088 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 1: And that is part of it.

It's been a 1353 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: hell of a week, month, year, century, etc. This week 1354 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: has been so intense for so many reasons. I used 1355 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,599 Speaker 1: to work in victim services and work with people who 1356 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 1: had their loved ones murdered. It was one of the 1357 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 1: most difficult, most rewarding jobs I ever had. Families were 1358 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: never the same. Hell, I was never the same. I 1359 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,479 Speaker 1: heard too many first accounts that saw far too many 1360 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 1: crime scene photos. I got to see the dysfunction of 1361 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system up close to Part of a 1362 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,840 Speaker 1: role was court support, but I also saw some people 1363 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: were trying their best to help. I got to witness 1364 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,479 Speaker 1: and hopefully play some small part in the small part 1365 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: in the healing journey. Yeah, that's a great point too, 1366 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 1: because we need people like that within the system, and 1367 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 1: we do have things in place for people. But one 1368 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,719 Speaker 1: of the things that gets so weird to me online 1369 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: in these academic discussions is my loved one was murdered. 1370 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 3: Right. 1371 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 1: This idea that there's just nothing to be done about it, 1372 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 1: I shouldn't want someone going to prison for that or whatever. 1373 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: It is insane to me and speaks of a level 1374 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: of either disassociation or privilege to have never experienced that 1375 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: someone ripping the life of a love went away from you. 1376 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:18,080 Speaker 1: And then I'm just somewhere high and mighty on on 1377 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Facebook telling everybody how more abolitionist and and it'll figure 1378 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 1: itself out, like oh oh, I can't imagine. And that's 1379 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 1: as you said, it leads a mark on you forever, 1380 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 1: not just them, but the people in the system that 1381 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,600 Speaker 1: to deal with it right anyway, But that's not what 1382 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 1: you're saying. It just made me think of that. Well, 1383 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: where we are as a country so messed up. I 1384 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,240 Speaker 1: don't know any easy ways to make things better, but 1385 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 1: I do know helping individuals and families matters, starting wherever 1386 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 1: we live, big, small, So many of y'all touched by violence. 1387 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 1: Not everyone dies, and those that remain need and deserve 1388 01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 1: kindness and care.

How in comedy do you have to be 1402 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 1: to make border patrol look better? 1403 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 2: Like? 1404 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 1: What the fuck. This story, by the way, keeps changing 1405 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: every day. 1406 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,320 Speaker 2: It keeps I don't know, right, It's like, what is 1407 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 2: the truth? Because yeah, more videos come out. People were 1408 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,560 Speaker 2: streaming like every time, and that's why they have to 1409 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,960 Speaker 2: keep changing his store because people are like, that's not 1410 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:44,839 Speaker 2: what really happened. 1411 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 1: Because even the border patrol thing, which is the new one, 1412 01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: which is so for those that haven't kept up on it, 1413 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't blame you with the shooting outside of that 1414 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 1: school supposedly or in that school. Supposedly the police knew 1415 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the shooter was going on in there, which we did 1416 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 1: hear right away. They had a shootout with him supposedly 1417 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: going into the school. Now they're saying that he was 1418 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 1: never confronted on the way to school. I don't know 1419 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: what to believe because I don't trust the cops, right, 1420 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,120 Speaker 1: And there's a reason stories keep changed because the stories 1421 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,719 Speaker 1: a lie. So they said they confronted this kid outside 1422 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 1: the school, the dude that did the shooting outside the school, 1423 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,760 Speaker 1: they shot Shane fired with him. He ran into the 1424 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,640 Speaker 1: school building, was confronted by a resource officer, but not 1425 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,040 Speaker 1: fired upon which how does that make sense? But Okay, 1426 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 1: got into a classroom barricaded himself and killed these kids. 1427 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: Right now, the information is changing to where it was, well, 1428 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: they did know he was in there for at least 1429 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: forty minutes, and they didn't breach the school because they 1430 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 1: were waiting on tactical team to show up. Okay. Then 1431 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:55,679 Speaker 1: it became then video leaked of like the parents, because 1432 01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,840 Speaker 1: parents were there that came to the school to get 1433 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: their kids, and some of them said that the police 1434 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't let them go in, like they were telling yelling 1435 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: at the police to go in, looking at this nineteen 1436 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 1: police officers and they were like, no, we staying outside 1437 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: where it's no bullets and your kids are inside calling 1438 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: nine one one right multiple times calling being killed and 1439 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,799 Speaker 1: you can hear the gunshots, and we're staying here. Okay. 1440 01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Then the story changed to okay, they they did that 1441 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:32,840 Speaker 1: they were holding and border patrol showed up, and Border 1442 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 1: patrol was like, man, fuck woul y'all talk about we 1443 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,200 Speaker 1: going in. Some people are saying it was the fedes 1444 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 1: that said fuck with y'all talking about we going in. 1445 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: All I know is it took at least thirty to 1446 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: forty minutes before they went in. Period. Other details that 1447 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 1: have emerged is the dude that was the local police 1448 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: person that was in charge of this thing that said 1449 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 1: not to go in. They had just had a training 1450 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: on this like a week ago, they had just walked 1451 01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 1: through this school a week ago or some shit, and 1452 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: they didn't do it. They didn't go in. 1453 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 3: Wow. 1454 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,719 Speaker 1: So whatever the training was, when the bullets started flying, 1455 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 1: training went out the window. They was like, I'm not 1456 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:14,479 Speaker 1: doing that shit. So yeah, I don't and I expect 1457 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: the story to keep changing. I never thought there's never 1458 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: a chance when I see this stuff that I'm like, well, 1459 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,840 Speaker 1: police said, I don't know. I don't know. And I 1460 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: still think the saddest part of this is people that 1461 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:33,160 Speaker 1: are liberal and people that are Republican and people that 1462 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 1: are pro gunned will all dunk on the police and 1463 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: missed that big ass trend of mass shootings that it's 1464 01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,639 Speaker 1: really about accessibility of these type of weapons. Agreed. Instead, 1465 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: we're just gonna call those guys cowards, and I don't care. 1466 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,479 Speaker 1: Maybe you do. The cowards is not is irrelevant to 1467 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,760 Speaker 1: me because what we're then talking about is something that's 1468 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 1: after the fact. How many less kids would have died, 1469 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 1: how many kids would have died by the police in 1470 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,880 Speaker 1: the crossfire. I don't know. All I know is this 1471 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 1: motherfucker should have never been able to get the discuss anyway. 1472 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,559 Speaker 1: And what it's sad is with all the current outrage, 1473 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 1: most white people will still vote Republican, not hold themselves 1474 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: at each other accountable for the big and little things 1475 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 1: they do each day. To enable some of the large 1476 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,160 Speaker 1: structural problems in this country, some of us will fall 1477 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,920 Speaker 1: to the trap of apathy. Not to let us off 1478 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 1: the hook, even though it is hard. We cannot let 1479 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: others make push convince us to be complacent. That's why 1480 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 1: you're talking point about voting matters, and I so thank 1481 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,760 Speaker 1: you with care for that. My parents were involved the 1482 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: civil rights and it was burned into my brain. If 1483 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,600 Speaker 1: you don't vote, you can't complain in any case. I 1484 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,800 Speaker 1: hope we can all have some moments of peace, take 1485 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 1: care so less. Yeah, that's just my personal thing. I'm 1486 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 1: never gonna not talk about voting. I'm never gonna talk 1487 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 1: about I'll not vote, and I'll never be that complacent. 1488 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 1: I think there's just a level of compartmentalization that has 1489 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 1: to take place when you live in this country, because 1490 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:04,680 Speaker 1: how would you ever be able to function? You know, 1491 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,719 Speaker 1: Next is Joe, who says what hi Rod and Karen 1492 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I think we can all agree. We know exactly what 1493 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,759 Speaker 1: Republicans are about. We know their platform, the official position 1494 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 1: on most of, not all issues. We also know that 1495 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: very few people over there will do anything to work 1496 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,800 Speaker 1: against it. Sure, there are those Lincoln Project people in 1497 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,599 Speaker 1: the one chaineye on the January sixt Commission, but there 1498 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 1: remains precious little infighting, at least not any that anyone 1499 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: can see. Yeah, and this two Republicans on that committee. 1500 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 1: But I figure the big problem seems to be that 1501 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,600 Speaker 1: even as we can identify the problems, there appears not 1502 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:40,640 Speaker 1: to be a strong enough opposition for us to fight it. 1503 01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: Podcast websites, print media, cable news. Everyone presumes that the 1504 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are supposed to be that force, but this force 1505 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: is lacking. And he has two bullet points. Outlets that 1506 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 1: would see themselves as more progressive place to Brunner the 1507 01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: blame on those elected the office that their mainstream position 1508 01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:00,719 Speaker 1: is committed to maintaining the status quo the second bullet point. Meanwhile, 1509 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 1: other outlets still support the current troup of Democrats and 1510 01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 1: place more responsibility on the far too wide range of 1511 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 1: not Republicans too many being either too comfortable or too 1512 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 1: indifferent to the needs of those whose survival is more 1513 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: dependent on government intervention. Intervention your views appear to reflect 1514 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: this second group, when it's a little telling that you 1515 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,840 Speaker 1: described the second group placing more responsibility on the far 1516 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 1: too wide range, like a little telling that the Democrats 1517 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 1: cannot really do what they need or want to do 1518 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,439 Speaker 1: because they don't have any as strong support from the population. 1519 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: Apologies if I misstating your position. I myself think there's 1520 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:45,719 Speaker 1: enough blame to go around, both with the many elected officials, 1521 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 1: not just mentioning the cinema and the population. All right, 1522 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,040 Speaker 1: let's go. Here's a question that you do not have 1523 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 1: to answer. It's sustained change really possible, regardless of who 1524 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: should be blamed for the predicament, nothing seems to be 1525 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 1: going anywhere. Many of us find it way too easy 1526 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 1: to contort ourselves in order to find some similars of comfort. 1527 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 1: A good number require no real contortion to do so, 1528 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 1: and those people who say they want everything to burn 1529 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,000 Speaker 1: to participitate action would have to admit that this probably 1530 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 1: won't really happen, and if it did, it would be 1531 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,799 Speaker 1: a brief action. Both reversion to the mean. Before reversion 1532 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: to the mean, there have been a number of reports 1533 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: about recent events stating that the majority of US want 1534 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,800 Speaker 1: to retain reproductive rights, to enact some form of gun 1535 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 1: control measures, and to resolve climate change. But what do 1536 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 1: those numbers really mean? How serious is the resolve within 1537 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,240 Speaker 1: those high percentages that seems to be the real problem. 1538 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: Soon enough we will grow weary of whatever the latest issue, 1539 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: will turn our heads to something else, or look, Walmart 1540 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 1: created juneteenth ice cream. I don't have a question. This 1541 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 1: is too long already. I thank you both for letting 1542 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 1: me vent in this letter. I also thank you for 1543 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: continuing to your show, which provides a much need of 1544 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,559 Speaker 1: analysis of commentair and all these things. As always, you're both. 1545 01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 1: You both are very insightful and I appreciate everything you do. 1546 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,280 Speaker 1: This includes your story on things like procreation abilities of 1547 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 1: one Nick Cannon. He appears apparently believes in the future. 1548 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: So I did respond back to this email because I 1549 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,639 Speaker 1: was like, it was one of those things if I'm 1550 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna talk about this on the air, I need I 1551 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 1: have questions, and since you emailed, at least I can 1552 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 1: email you back and hopefully you're a spond So I 1553 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 1: just asked, just to be clear and specific, what are 1554 01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:26,519 Speaker 1: the things the non manson cinema Democrats should be blamed for? Specifics, please, 1555 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,720 Speaker 1: because I think when you just throw out there politicians 1556 01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:37,360 Speaker 1: is not just politicians, it's Republican politicians who are not 1557 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,600 Speaker 1: breaking rank on this at all in the Senate and 1558 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: mention the cinema. That's specific. When we talk about the 1559 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: people who we need to change, the votes, who need 1560 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 1: to get who needs to get up out of there, 1561 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,120 Speaker 1: those are the people I'm talking about. This thing where 1562 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,560 Speaker 1: we just say politicians makes it sound like it's some 1563 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: even shit, even this whole thing of supporting you. You know, 1564 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:09,879 Speaker 1: there's people that support the current Democrats. I support Democrats period, 1565 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 1: because I'm supporting Republicans losing. I don't know how many 1566 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 1: times I can say this on this show, but I 1567 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 1: guess I haven't said it enough. I'll say it again. 1568 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm pro winning. I don't give a fuck. I vote 1569 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 1: for AOC, I vote for iljih Omar. I'd vote from 1570 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,640 Speaker 1: fucking if Joe Biden. I vote for Hillary Clinton. I 1571 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: want to win. Some people just not as petty as me. 1572 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:43,760 Speaker 1: I guess seeing them lose is make it. It gives 1573 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 1: me such pleasure because these people are evil in my opinion, 1574 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,760 Speaker 1: Like these Republicans are evil. They're trying to take us 1575 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,520 Speaker 1: back to slavery, as Karen says often Yes, so if 1576 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: I truly believe that, why would I ever be like, 1577 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: but this Democrat wasn't good enough? No, they all good 1578 01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: enough compared to the other option. And it's just I'm 1579 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: seeing how few people not few, because honestly we're the 1580 01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,560 Speaker 1: majority of people, but seeing that there's a contingent of 1581 01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 1: people that claim to be patty, claim to be liberal, 1582 01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,760 Speaker 1: claim to be progressive, that go. But I'm gonna sit 1583 01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 1: this out. But if they lose, I don't care. It's 1584 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,280 Speaker 1: all the same to me. That's the part that bothers me, 1585 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 1: because I'm like, you're lying, You're full of shit. There's 1586 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,600 Speaker 1: no way to look at these facts objectively and not 1587 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:36,040 Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that we need more of these 1588 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: people in the office and not less. There's just no 1589 01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: fucking way, Like, like, you know how you get even 1590 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 1: more progressive candidates by voting the progressive by voting candidates 1591 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 1: in That's how you win this. I'm a wait, shit 1592 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 1: is not working anyway. He writes back, According to those 1593 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,440 Speaker 1: other podcasts that he will talking to, these other Democrats 1594 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 1: give symbolic messages, giving the impression they want to do things, 1595 01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,160 Speaker 1: but ultimately do nothing substantive. Here's the reason that that's 1596 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:16,919 Speaker 1: kind of bullshit. Republicans do that and they just continue 1597 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,960 Speaker 1: to get support and they're winning. They do that all 1598 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 1: the time. They don't get that thing until they get 1599 01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:29,080 Speaker 1: that thing right. Like for fifty years they've been campaigning 1600 01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,600 Speaker 1: on we're gonna get Roe v. Wade overturn, and for 1601 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 1: fifty years people have continued to vote for them, going 1602 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:40,800 Speaker 1: one day that will happen. We're the side that goes, 1603 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 1: we didn't get that within ten minutes, I'm out. I'm 1604 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna let them have it. They don't do that, They 1605 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 1: do not abandon. We don't have the resolve. We are 1606 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,679 Speaker 1: the whack ones. We're the weak ones. We're the ones 1607 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,600 Speaker 1: that don't have that backbone, and we think it's a 1608 01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,720 Speaker 1: politician thing. But we don't give them thirty ground to 1609 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:03,920 Speaker 1: plant their feet and say, I'm standing in the stand. 1610 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm standing right here. You're not gonna push past me. 1611 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,000 Speaker 1: We're the ones going, yeah, but I mean I gotta 1612 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 1: vote again. So now guess what they have to do. 1613 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 1: Beg these fucking Republicans, Hey man, can you cleanse? And 1614 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,519 Speaker 1: they gotta beg the moderates, hey man, can we cleanse? 1615 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: We need every vote cause we're somewhere at home, like 1616 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it. I just ain't up to 1617 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:30,040 Speaker 1: it today. Y'all got it right, I'll see. I saw 1618 01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,560 Speaker 1: someone put they were being snarky, of course, but it 1619 01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 1: was like, I didn't know I was gonna have to 1620 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: keep fighting if Joe Biden got to seat. It's like, yes, Nick, 1621 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 1: what the fuck do you see the other side not fighting? 1622 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,880 Speaker 1: Is that what you think? It's like you're playing a 1623 01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: basketball game. You're like, I didn't know the other team 1624 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,879 Speaker 1: was gonna score points, Yes, and you have to continue 1625 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 1: to stop them or score. An example that will often 1626 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: be presented for this symbolism is when some of the 1627 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 1: House Democrats or the can take scars and knelt. I 1628 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:06,040 Speaker 1: do not recall specific impetus for this, but well, uh, 1629 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,840 Speaker 1: let's get into that. That was seen as as some 1630 01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,560 Speaker 1: as a mere gesture. As for well, I find that 1631 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 1: interesting because one they were given those can take cloth 1632 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: things by the Congressional Black Concress, and some of those 1633 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 1: Congressional Black CAUCUSS members wore them too. It wasn't just 1634 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 1: white people wearing them. And they took that knee. Uh. 1635 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 1: And it's funny because that's what they were asked to 1636 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 1: do by black people who were elected. So what you're 1637 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 1: really saying is they shouldn't have done that. So they 1638 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,719 Speaker 1: were supposed to tell the black the Congressional Black Caucuss, 1639 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 1: I won't wear you can't take scolf and I'm not 1640 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 1: taking the knee for George Floyd. Fuck y'all, it won't 1641 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 1: look good for Twitter. These are the this is the 1642 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: context that is missing from so many people's analysis and 1643 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 1: why I don't take them seriously. It's one of the 1644 01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons I don't want to. I'm 1645 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,880 Speaker 1: not trying to be in these communities. I found them 1646 01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 1: to be hilariously shortsighted and offensively, offensively cynical, to a 1647 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:13,679 Speaker 1: point that it is destructive and stupid. Frankly, I find 1648 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:18,760 Speaker 1: it to be stupid. If if watching Nancy Pelosi take 1649 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,960 Speaker 1: a knee and KNDy Klok made you go, we should 1650 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 1: let Republicans have it. You're just not my kind of 1651 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 1: strategic person anyway, as for more substantive concerns. Oh and 1652 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: also they did try to pass to George Floyd Justice 1653 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,240 Speaker 1: and Policing Act, which was voted down by Republicans. So 1654 01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 1: once again they did try to do something. And going 1655 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 1: back to the first point, if we had more Democrats 1656 01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,680 Speaker 1: it would have passed. So yes, that's what I'm on. 1657 01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,080 Speaker 1: It seemed like some simple math, not one of these 1658 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: niggas that has proven me wrong yet. As for more 1659 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,680 Speaker 1: substaintive concerns, these will be strategic in nature, such as 1660 01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,479 Speaker 1: Obama not simply appointing Merit Garland to the Supreme Court 1661 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,719 Speaker 1: via an alternative process that was afforded to him. Loved 1662 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 1: This will come back later. More specific to Biden, the 1663 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: main consign seems to be his campaign about Student a 1664 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 1: loon forgiveness than not pursuing it. Let me just go 1665 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 1: ahead and give you a swallowlert on that Joe Biden 1666 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 1: never campaigned on getting rid of Student Alon. 1667 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:18,720 Speaker 2: The devil did. 1668 01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,599 Speaker 3: I don't know why people keep saying that he never did. 1669 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 1: It's Russian and a lot of it's a lot of misinformation, 1670 01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 1: purposely because listen, a lot of these people are stupid 1671 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 1: and easily misled. Because they want to believe something negative. 1672 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,480 Speaker 1: So when they hear something negative about one of these Democrats, 1673 01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,519 Speaker 1: they latch onto it as if it's truth. They don't 1674 01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,360 Speaker 1: verify shit. Joe Biden did not campaign on getting rid 1675 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,519 Speaker 1: of student alone. That was not his thing. He didn't 1676 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,680 Speaker 1: say I'm getting rid of student debt. That was not 1677 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 1: one of his issues. He also never said he would 1678 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,400 Speaker 1: defund the police. That was not one of his issues. 1679 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 1: So when and he won by a with the most 1680 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,360 Speaker 1: people voting for him, ever, so this was not some 1681 01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 1: issue that people saw as a kneecap to him, like, 1682 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,719 Speaker 1: oh he didn't say student loans, I'm an op. Fuck that, nigga, 1683 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:11,479 Speaker 1: I'm not voting for him. He didn't need the people 1684 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:15,720 Speaker 1: that felt that way. He didn't need them. So that's 1685 01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 1: the part that's become very interesting, is this revisionism. He'll 1686 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,719 Speaker 1: get to the Mary Garland thing and in the second 1687 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 1: but yes, he's wrong about that as well. And this 1688 01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:25,879 Speaker 1: is what happened to you just listening to these uncritical 1689 01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,680 Speaker 1: ass podcasts, don't do no fucking research, and they just 1690 01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: be talking. This is how Brianna Joy Gray making them money. 1691 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:36,480 Speaker 1: They just be talking, rilling you up into disillusionment and negativity, 1692 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 1: and they don't even have the fucking facts at least 1693 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 1: be right. I don't care about feelings and vibes. And 1694 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 1: maybe that's my weakness and one of the reasons that 1695 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,840 Speaker 1: I sound so like Adamantly. I'm going to vote and 1696 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna avoid vote Democrats because I didn't vote for 1697 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 1: Obama because of hope and change posters. Dude, that's white 1698 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 1: people shit, that's a millennial shit, that's that's that's that 1699 01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,639 Speaker 1: I like the I want to like the people running 1700 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: for office. Shit, I don't care about that. 1701 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 3: Do the job. 1702 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: I just care if you can try to push forward 1703 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,719 Speaker 1: the goals I have and think are smart for society. 1704 01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:13,760 Speaker 1: That's the only thing I care about. Can you do 1705 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:15,599 Speaker 1: that or can you not? Will you at least try? 1706 01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,080 Speaker 1: I know you can't guarantee it's gonna happen, but you 1707 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 1: can try. I'm smart enough to look at the big 1708 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:25,240 Speaker 1: picture and see why it will or won't happen anyway, 1709 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,759 Speaker 1: So I respond, I replied, always says I will admit blame. 1710 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 1: It's not the best word choice, especially since I'm not 1711 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,519 Speaker 1: providing specific instances where elected Democrats have done things that 1712 01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 1: specifically created have it. This is part of my frustration 1713 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: when the opposition is waging battle on multiple fronts. I 1714 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,439 Speaker 1: just can't see their actions as equal and opposite reaction. 1715 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 1: What more can they do? Yeah, I don't have to 1716 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,400 Speaker 1: answer either, all right, I replied, I appreciate your response 1717 01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,160 Speaker 1: with you have to see this is a bait and switch. 1718 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 1: We were talking about gun policy at the beginning, then 1719 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 1: we switch to student loans. I will respond to each 1720 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 1: of these on tomorrow's show. But this is the kind 1721 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 1: of performative and partiality that irks my nerves. These parties 1722 01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 1: aren't the same or even similar when it comes to 1723 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot of issues, and those other podcasts are out 1724 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,719 Speaker 1: the lunch. In my opinion, nothing that has been said 1725 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,160 Speaker 1: has made the solution any different from how I see it. 1726 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,479 Speaker 1: We need more Democrats in office, and we really say, 1727 01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 1: if we really say we want these things student loan forgiveness, 1728 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,879 Speaker 1: Biden didn't campaign on that, that's false, Mary Garland, Obama 1729 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 1: didn't had a vote, and there was no alternative process 1730 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,160 Speaker 1: that's been used to get a justice seated without a vote. 1731 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm pragmatic, but I'm also knowledgeable. These other podcasts be 1732 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,840 Speaker 1: less informed and emotionally yelling do something while not having 1733 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 1: a clue what can be done. It's frustrating. Once again, 1734 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate your reply, but everything brought up is something 1735 01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,599 Speaker 1: I've addressed on the ARA for so Joe replied thank 1736 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,800 Speaker 1: you for your response as well. I will not specifically. 1737 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,200 Speaker 1: I was not specifically talking about gun policy in my 1738 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:50,400 Speaker 1: original email. Perhaps it's the wrong time for it, but 1739 01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 1: I was thinking more generally about the overall environment that 1740 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,320 Speaker 1: includes gun policy, but not just that. He's right, that's 1741 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,560 Speaker 1: my because of what's been happening this week and what 1742 01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,800 Speaker 1: brought up these political conversations throughout the week, I thought 1743 01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 1: you were writing specifically to the fact that I was like, Yeah, 1744 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:07,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to vote our way out of this 1745 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 1: gun shit because you can't wait for Republicans to grow 1746 01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:16,120 Speaker 1: a conscious you can't shame them into doing it. You're 1747 01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:18,920 Speaker 1: going to have to keep them out of office. Nothing 1748 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:22,679 Speaker 1: else will work, and it's just do the people want 1749 01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 1: that or not. And you can say it's a broad 1750 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:30,559 Speaker 1: too broad. I don't think it's too broad. Anybody who 1751 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:36,000 Speaker 1: is enabling Republicans into office is part of the problem, period, 1752 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 1: whether you're voting for the Green Party, whether you're not 1753 01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,439 Speaker 1: voting at all, or whether you're voting Republican, you are 1754 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,040 Speaker 1: all equally part of a problem to me, because you 1755 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: all have one vote and you're not fucking using it. 1756 01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 1: And then you claim that you don't want to see 1757 01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,920 Speaker 1: these people in office, You claim to be upset by 1758 01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:57,519 Speaker 1: Greg Abbot and Ted Cruz and all these people, and 1759 01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 1: then you sit there and you just watch them, watch 1760 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:03,880 Speaker 1: a coronation of these motherfuckers, do it over and over, 1761 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 1: and then you make it somehow everyone's fault but yours. 1762 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 1: It's Joe Biden's fault, it's Kamala Harris's fault, it's a 1763 01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:16,639 Speaker 1: Democrats fault, it's everybody except for the people that refuse 1764 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 1: to lift a finger to get these people out of office. 1765 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 2: It's anyway, and also is one of the things where 1766 01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:29,920 Speaker 2: going back to the first one, the main point is voting, right, Okay, 1767 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,519 Speaker 2: voting because you sound frustrated too, like I understand that, 1768 01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:37,720 Speaker 2: And a lot of times when people are frustrated, they 1769 01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,679 Speaker 2: you're trying to find out who's responsible, who to blame, 1770 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 2: So so I understand you like listening to various different 1771 01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,200 Speaker 2: opinions and to find out. But a lot of these 1772 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 2: people sweety At the end of the day, they actually 1773 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 2: don't care like you do, because if you vote the right, 1774 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,320 Speaker 2: if you vote people in office, you would not have 1775 01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,840 Speaker 2: this thing, Like you say, what are you people so 1776 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 2: supposed to do?

Will numbers matter? 1781 01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:22,320 Speaker 2: And a lot of this is math, and people don't 1782 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:24,000 Speaker 2: we want to talk about the math. 1783 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: Of this shit. 1784 01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,479 Speaker 2: They go, well, well, we got people in there, just 1785 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 2: do something. It's like, we can't do it unless we 1786 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 2: get rid of the filibuster. Well then why don't we 1787 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 2: get rid of philibuster? Well, we can't do that unless 1788 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 2: we have enough people in there to get rid of it. 1789 01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 2: Why don't you vote these laws? Well we put it 1790 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:44,640 Speaker 2: in on one side of the government, and then the 1791 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 2: other side says, fuck that shit, I'm not doing anything, 1792 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,639 Speaker 2: And everybody gets mad, everybody gets upset, and everybody puts fingers. 1793 01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:53,040 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, nobody wants to 1794 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,880 Speaker 2: blame themselves for sitting out. Nobody wants to blame themselves 1795 01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,719 Speaker 2: for Trump being in office. Nobody wants to bring themselves 1796 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 2: for not voting for Hillary Clinton. Nobody wants to bleme 1797 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,880 Speaker 2: themselves for being conned on a lot of shit and 1798 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,639 Speaker 2: taking things that were false on the Internet and claiming 1799 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 2: that they're true. And the thing is, when it comes 1800 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 2: to certain things, people are holding Bodying accountable for shit 1801 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,320 Speaker 2: that he did not run for. There are other people 1802 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:22,960 Speaker 2: in the Democratic Party that said those things. He and 1803 01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 2: his running never said those things. He may have said, 1804 01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,240 Speaker 2: I might consider something like that, but this was not 1805 01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:30,880 Speaker 2: his platform. His whole thing was not these are the. 1806 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:32,040 Speaker 3: Things that I'm going to do. 1807 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,080 Speaker 2: And so people are mad and upset and they holding 1808 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,200 Speaker 2: him accountable for shit that he never said he was 1809 01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:37,560 Speaker 2: gonna do. 1810 01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:40,479 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, okay, let's say I give you that. 1811 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,439 Speaker 2: Well, then okay, get people in the office that will 1812 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 2: get the shit done that you claim you won't. You go, well, 1813 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,519 Speaker 2: my shit matters, nobody else's shit matters. And because my 1814 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 2: student loans can't be cleared, fuck it. 1815 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 3: It makes no goddamn sense. 1816 01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the second they do anything, it becomes not 1817 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't count for some reason. The bottom because here's 1818 01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:09,240 Speaker 1: the real grift that's happening. Keeping you listening is the 1819 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,519 Speaker 1: real hustle, right, that's the real money for them. And 1820 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:17,680 Speaker 1: so if you're a person that's frustrated and you want 1821 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 1: to say I voted Democrat and not enough has changed, 1822 01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:24,680 Speaker 1: telling you that it's the democrats fault. They meant for 1823 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:26,680 Speaker 1: it to be this way. They just don't care as 1824 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 1: much as you care. They really they love when kids 1825 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:31,599 Speaker 1: get killed in schools because they don't give a fuck. 1826 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,400 Speaker 1: They're just gonna go and do whatever they want to do. 1827 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 1: That's the hustle that keeps you listening and giving them money. 1828 01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,560 Speaker 1: And because we're the only ones who care, y'all. No 1829 01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,160 Speaker 1: one else cares for us. It's just me and you 1830 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,600 Speaker 1: over here. We care. Everyone else just doesn't get it. 1831 01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 1: Over and over. It's been six years, and those people 1832 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:53,479 Speaker 1: talk a lot of demotivation toward society, and a lot 1833 01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,200 Speaker 1: of this stuff is chickens coming home the roofs. You know, 1834 01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,720 Speaker 1: this is the importance of twenty sixteen coming home the 1835 01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,479 Speaker 1: roofs because even and shit, they won't biden do as 1836 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 1: executive orders, and shit, it really might go to that 1837 01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,840 Speaker 1: Supreme Court get struck down, and we're talking about you know, 1838 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,439 Speaker 1: we're not even just talking about the social initiatives trying 1839 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,840 Speaker 1: to help black people and kids and all the shit. 1840 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about stuff that is supposed to help every American, 1841 01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:23,080 Speaker 1: like mandates for vaccines. They're striking that down, rent moratoriums, 1842 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,760 Speaker 1: that's not a black thing. It helps black people disproportionately, 1843 01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 1: as many of the policies of the Biden administration have done. 1844 01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,880 Speaker 1: But it doesn't it does. It gets struck down because 1845 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,639 Speaker 1: it's not constitutional because a president can't do but so much, 1846 01:35:35,040 --> 01:35:38,080 Speaker 1: and Congress and the Senate are too well, the Senate 1847 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 1: is too much deadlocked with Republicans and manchon the cinema. 1848 01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:47,880 Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is be specific when I'm talking 1849 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 1: shit about politician. I try to be specifical with my shit. 1850 01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:54,599 Speaker 1: Like these fifty Republicans that never break rank, and these 1851 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,679 Speaker 1: two motherfucking Democrats that always side with them, fuck them. 1852 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,760 Speaker 1: I need to get them out of office, any and 1853 01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:05,639 Speaker 1: all of them. I'm down with that. And the sad 1854 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:07,560 Speaker 1: part is when you say what are we gonna do? 1855 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:12,400 Speaker 1: Is that ultimately, because Republicans have gained the system so hard, 1856 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 1: the only thing that and it's the one thing that 1857 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 1: so many, so many people have not done the math, 1858 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,080 Speaker 1: and so that's short sighted, and they want to because 1859 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,920 Speaker 1: they want to feel good. They're not gonna accept this 1860 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,479 Speaker 1: solution that I'm about to say because it's a bad 1861 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 1: feeling solution. Right. The only thing that's gonna get us 1862 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:34,160 Speaker 1: out of this is appealing to white people to change 1863 01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 1: their minds, because that is how rigged many of these 1864 01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:43,120 Speaker 1: municipalities have become when it comes to voting, because so 1865 01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:48,280 Speaker 1: many people understand and fear the black vote, the thing 1866 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:50,720 Speaker 1: that these people are saying to abstain from doing. So 1867 01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,240 Speaker 1: many of these places more scared of your vote than 1868 01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 1: you understand, so they marginalize your vote enough to where 1869 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 1: it's like, if we can just convince white peo people 1870 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:04,560 Speaker 1: will win every time. And now we have left the 1871 01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:08,560 Speaker 1: country and many politicians with no choice, but they go 1872 01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:12,360 Speaker 1: appealing to these racists bigger than white people because they'll 1873 01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:16,720 Speaker 1: never get the fucking numbers because we've advocated responsibility in 1874 01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,240 Speaker 1: many cases for our own votes. And that's not cool, 1875 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I'm not saying we 1876 01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:26,240 Speaker 1: as black, y'all mean, we as these liberal progressive people 1877 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,559 Speaker 1: have went, yeah, I don't believe in the power vote, 1878 01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:30,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just sit this out. And it's like, well, 1879 01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:32,360 Speaker 1: you know who believes in it, Ron DeSantis, because he's 1880 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:34,560 Speaker 1: doing everything he can to rig it so that the 1881 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,160 Speaker 1: black vote is marginalized. As fucking Florida. He's scared of it, 1882 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 1: but you're not scared of You don't want to use it, 1883 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,280 Speaker 1: because he ain't scared of your guns, He ain't scared 1884 01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,840 Speaker 1: of your marches.

Right, 1927 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:57,320 Speaker 1: But the side that cares about feelings, the reason they're 1928 01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,559 Speaker 1: winning is based on a lot of lines and missing 1929 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 1: from me because those people are feelings over facts, and 1930 01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 1: I hate when our side is feelings over facts. Facts matter, 1931 01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 1: and how you feel.

That is 1938 01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:33,640 Speaker 1: a they can be better at that. But then a 1939 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,639 Speaker 1: lot of times it's just this feeling shit. I want 1940 01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:40,160 Speaker 1: them to tweet harder. I want to be like Beto. Beto, 1941 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:44,560 Speaker 1: y'all wouldn't vote for right, Betho, you fucking destroyed it 1942 01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,479 Speaker 1: to try to get Bernie because he was a threat 1943 01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 1: to Bernie as his white guy who was able to 1944 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:54,240 Speaker 1: be charismatic and talk that good shit. He had to 1945 01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:58,559 Speaker 1: be destroyed on the internet. But now that's the messaging 1946 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 1: you want. And the last thing says this. Too many 1947 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,559 Speaker 1: people say they don't understand the messaging. There's not enough. 1948 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,080 Speaker 1: The messaging is right with Democrats is not good enough. 1949 01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,439 Speaker 1: Every last time I hear that is from a person 1950 01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:13,800 Speaker 1: that absolutely understands the messaging.

In the academic online circles, 1980 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,840 Speaker 1: they liked the idea of being powerless because then you 1981 01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:46,400 Speaker 1: can never be responsible, agreed John Wrights. And my thing is, 1982 01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,720 Speaker 1: I want to be responsible, even for the bad shit. 1983 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:53,320 Speaker 1: When I remember when Obama was and this is a 1984 01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:57,599 Speaker 1: Russian the amount of outrage about it was like complete 1985 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:04,360 Speaker 1: online Russian misinformation and and Russian like Russian bots hyping 1986 01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 1: it up.

And that's a valid criticism. I hear you. 1992 01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: But my point is it will be worse under a 1993 01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,120 Speaker 1: Republican and that's what I vote for. I can't abstain 1994 01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 1: and act like the blood's not on my hands, because 1995 01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,679 Speaker 1: you know what Trump did more none of you talked 1996 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: about it.

Because that's the alternative. You're 1999 01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,679 Speaker 1: not helping the other countries by saying I'm not gonna vote. 2000 01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,960 Speaker 1: You're helping your own fucking ego, so you can go 2001 01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:49,799 Speaker 1: I didn't do it, but you did do it because 2002 01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:52,800 Speaker 1: you live here and you're responsible for the fucking empire, 2003 01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:56,599 Speaker 1: and you get a say every year, if not multiple times, 2004 01:43:56,720 --> 01:43:58,680 Speaker 1: when you go to a voting boot, you get a 2005 01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,800 Speaker 1: say on will it be a hundred people that die 2006 01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,000 Speaker 1: or fifty people that die? And you chose a hundred 2007 01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,760 Speaker 1: because you said I won't do anything. You're just as 2008 01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:11,560 Speaker 1: fucking complicit. So that's the real that's the real of it. 2009 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:13,920 Speaker 1: I like to live in the reality of it. I 2010 01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:16,439 Speaker 1: don't want to do this thing while I'm signifying y'all. 2011 01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:18,800 Speaker 1: Y'all think I'm a good person because I sat around 2012 01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:21,160 Speaker 1: and told y'all I didn't do nothing. Well, I'll see 2013 01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:25,479 Speaker 1: you as a coward do something. That's what y'all say. 2014 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:27,720 Speaker 3: Right, that's the model, ain't it? 2015 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:32,599 Speaker 1: All? Right? Last thing, reasonable gun owners, Korean flet etc. 2016 01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,080 Speaker 1: John says, Hi, good morning Rod and Karen. Rod. The 2017 01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,840 Speaker 1: thing with the reasonable gun owners organized an exerting power 2018 01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:40,920 Speaker 1: in the GLP is I'm not sure that's even possible 2019 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:42,760 Speaker 1: to be a Republican nowadays, you have to be one 2020 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:44,679 Speaker 1: hundred percent of all in on everything, and I imagine 2021 01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:45,960 Speaker 1: that as soon as you step out of line, you 2022 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,080 Speaker 1: in the slightest you get brutally piled on by the crazies. 2023 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 1: I now I know statistics can Paul will show that 2024 01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,920 Speaker 1: a majority of people, including JLP voters, approve of common 2025 01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:56,840 Speaker 1: sense gun restrictions like ben assault rifles, background checks, et cetera. 2026 01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,080 Speaker 1: But I just don't know how they get any traction 2027 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,240 Speaker 1: and pushing the GLP towards any measure of sanity. Well, 2028 01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:06,720 Speaker 1: they would have to organize. I don't think it's impossible 2029 01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,880 Speaker 1: at all, by the way, I think they would just 2030 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:10,800 Speaker 1: have to organize. I think the gl I think the 2031 01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:15,280 Speaker 1: NRA and gun owners are a big ass check for Republicans, 2032 01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:19,080 Speaker 1: and not just check financially, but check on that voting booth. 2033 01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:22,760 Speaker 1: They know you're gonna vote Republican, and so that shit 2034 01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,599 Speaker 1: matters the most of them. If they were to say 2035 01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,680 Speaker 1: we either not voting or we're gonna vote for the 2036 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: politician that gives us responsible gun laws, that Republican would 2037 01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,720 Speaker 1: have to change because if not, it'll just be a 2038 01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:40,920 Speaker 1: Democrat in that seat. You know, there are enough dowing 2039 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,640 Speaker 1: owners to change to put some pressure on them, but 2040 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 1: they don't want to because they at the end of 2041 01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:48,080 Speaker 1: the day, the NRA just gives another They just did 2042 01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:51,360 Speaker 1: it recently, they give another speech. They let Trump get 2043 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,439 Speaker 1: on stage and tell your guns are gonna get taken away, 2044 01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:55,600 Speaker 1: and all those motherfuckers fold because they don't give a 2045 01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 1: goddamn about people getting killed. I think a major major 2046 01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:02,880 Speaker 1: part of problems voters seen sacillily believe in slippery slope 2047 01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:05,200 Speaker 1: bullshit that if they given eds, the next thing, you know, 2048 01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,280 Speaker 1: be confiscating all the guns. Never mind the fact that 2049 01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,160 Speaker 1: even on our side, very few people we can go 2050 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:12,040 Speaker 1: along with that, though, like you, I absolutely would the 2051 01:46:12,160 --> 01:46:14,640 Speaker 1: audience that when you flip things, we very much do 2052 01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,080 Speaker 1: have to worry about slippery slopes with regard to aborche 2053 01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:20,639 Speaker 1: LGBT Hugh writes, et cetera, because as we've seen countless times, 2054 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,360 Speaker 1: Republicans will never start with a moderate, reasonable compromise on 2055 01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,200 Speaker 1: any issue. About The only good thing about this harbor 2056 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,360 Speaker 1: you've out you you I think it's uveail you've ou 2057 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,160 Speaker 1: uval messacre is that I see more and more people 2058 01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,760 Speaker 1: finally opening their eyes to the reality of police the 2059 01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:37,920 Speaker 1: way they constantly threaten not to do their jobs. Let 2060 01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,120 Speaker 1: the public suffer whenever their criticize and missed any call 2061 01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:42,640 Speaker 1: for oversight and accountability. It's a pretty big tail and 2062 01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,880 Speaker 1: how they really feel about how they really feel about 2063 01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:47,720 Speaker 1: protecting the servant. The outrage of a vaccine mandates and 2064 01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:51,679 Speaker 1: threatening to strike over them, spoke Volumes. I hope you're right, man. 2065 01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 1: I see so far, I've seen people that already had 2066 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,280 Speaker 1: agreed that the police was bad sharing that stuff. So 2067 01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe some people open their eyes. But 2068 01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:02,720 Speaker 1: you may be also be in some circles I'm not 2069 01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,280 Speaker 1: in because you know, I don't have white people around me, 2070 01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:07,559 Speaker 1: So maybe there are some white people that are finally 2071 01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:09,559 Speaker 1: seeing it for the first time, like wait a minute, 2072 01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:12,240 Speaker 1: And it could be just that that's probably what it is. 2073 01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:14,760 Speaker 1: I probably just ain't in them circles. But I mean, 2074 01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,040 Speaker 1: it's always good when people see that the police is 2075 01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:21,519 Speaker 1: some bullshit. It's always good because I don't think policing 2076 01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:23,360 Speaker 1: has to beat this way. But the way it is 2077 01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:26,840 Speaker 1: is fucked up, and it's never gonna change as long 2078 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:28,880 Speaker 1: as people just go, well, that's just how it gotta be, 2079 01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, because at the end of the day, those 2080 01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:34,320 Speaker 1: people are just human beings.

Yeah, obviously Whitlock. Every time I think Willlock 2117 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,479 Speaker 1: can't sing it lower, he managed surprised me. Just say yet, 2118 01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,400 Speaker 1: all Whitlock has is that he does his sports analysis 2119 01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:37,600 Speaker 1: is non existent, Like at this point, the one's the 2120 01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:39,920 Speaker 1: last time you saw a video about Jason Whitlock just 2121 01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:45,000 Speaker 1: saying something about a player that was about sports, right, 2122 01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:47,320 Speaker 1: It's kind of sad when you think about it, like 2123 01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:51,120 Speaker 1: his sports opinions are just non existence and no one cares. 2124 01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,400 Speaker 1: There's never a time where it's just like, I don't 2125 01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,880 Speaker 1: think Giannie is a dot to dot player. It's always 2126 01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,479 Speaker 1: gotta be some type of weird race angle because he's 2127 01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,880 Speaker 1: a race peddler, race hustler. He's never gonna be better 2128 01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:08,080 Speaker 1: than that. And then worse Shack or Barkley, probably Barkley 2129 01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:11,439 Speaker 1: after Wedlock, although I think there's a lot of miles 2130 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,439 Speaker 1: between them and then Shack and that that one's very 2131 01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:17,920 Speaker 1: close and and and I don't I don't despise Barkley 2132 01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:22,680 Speaker 1: or Shack. I just think it's ridiculous that that they're 2133 01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:25,240 Speaker 1: ever asked about some of the ship they're asked about, 2134 01:50:25,240 --> 01:50:28,000 Speaker 1: because it's like they clearly don't know and don't care 2135 01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:34,160 Speaker 1: to know. And I just I don't know. Maybe it's 2136 01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:35,600 Speaker 1: because I don't watch a lot of other sports, but 2137 01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:41,160 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine, Uh, I don't know, like the 2138 01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:44,360 Speaker 1: hot carry caris are getting some food, give her a second. 2139 01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:51,200 Speaker 1: I can't imagine the like hockey halftime doing h what 2140 01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:57,240 Speaker 1: about the kids the Chicago moment? No right, uh okay, 2141 01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,519 Speaker 1: I'm off to fix myself a cone of John brown 2142 01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 1: E fudge. Cheersas state safe.
