1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,519
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, and welcome to this very special edition of Trendlin.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Maxine Stacy also known as Glenn Stacy. That a ka

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: comes from my mind because I was just thinking a

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: spider Man shout out Glen Stacy, who is one of

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: his early loves. Anyway, I'm Miles, that's Jackies Neil, how

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: are you? Yeah? Yeah, good, yeah, yeah, let's get trending.

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Uh and a bit of a sad one to start

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: off on. Bruce Willis is trending because he's announced that

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: he is stepping away from acting because he's been diagnosed

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: with aphasia. And you know, that's the that's an illness

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: that you know, impacts your ability to communicate and understand

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: and like it's it's really really like a terrible, terrible disease.

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just he's basically saying because of that

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: or through I think his family was saying, it's announcing

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: through his family. Yeah, he's not the acting. It's sad. Yeah,

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I um, you know, obviously, like many people probably didn't

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: know what this was, so you know, I went to

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: go look it up, and when you when you read

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: about it, it's very sad, very sad disease apparently you know,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: us being an entertainment and Hollywood adjacent we have a

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of industry friends. Apparently it's been kind of like

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: one of those well known secrets or best kept secrets

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: within the industry that he's been suffering from essentially dementia,

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: which is what this is a form of for a while,

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: which is why you know he's which puts it into

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: a perspective how many movies he's done over the past

27
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: like two or three years, a lot of directive video

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: movies and things like that, but he's basically just stacking

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: bread because he knew this date was coming. Um, which

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: is so sad. And it just goes and it kind

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: of goes to you know what, um we always talk

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: about within you know, just culture in general, like just

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: never know what somebody is going through or anything like that,

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: which is which is so true. You never know what

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: somebody's going through. You never know the struggle. Everybody thinks

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: what we do is glamorous, uh, even going down to

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: like podcasting, and there's some people who think this is glamorous,

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: but you never know what somebody's going through. And it's

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: very sad because you know, good actor, a great actor,

40
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: A lot of good movies man, a lot of classics. Yeah,

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a very sad thing to know somebody

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: is stepping away from something they love for health reasons.

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: And it just the older we get it just brings

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: it closer to home, because it's like ship, something that

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: we love can be ripped away from us for something

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: out of our control so quickly, and you just never know. Right,

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty sad. And things we take for granted, you know,

48
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: just like the ability to communicate, you know, that is

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: literally his job, Like, that is that is what he

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: decided I want my dream to be and the tool

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: that every actor needs eats for the most part, because

52
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: it's not just your ability to communicate, apparently I read

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: a little bit on it. It also is your ability

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: to communicate from like a neurological standpoint, So not just

55
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: you can't speak, but you like you have a hard

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: time like formulating synrisis and things like that from like

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: your brain. So that is literally the crux of what

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: he does. That is that is his job, and it

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: just seems kind of cruel, right, it seems kind of

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: cruel that that is any disease and anything that makes

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: you not be able to do what you love or

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: just yea, a disease is cruel. But I think anybody

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: too who's ever had a family member who's you know,

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: had a slow mental decline, Like it's really it's just

65
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: tough to even you know, as a you know, family,

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: like sort of watching someone begin to sort of lose

67
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: like huge parts of them that were like, you know,

68
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: big parts of who they are anyway. So uh yeah,

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's a bit of a bit of

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: sad news. Um. Next thing that's trending is the word booming.

71
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: This is from an md SEE news headline This being

72
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: shared where people are like, what's going on? Which reads

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: quote President Biden's approval rating has fallen into the lowest

74
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: level of his presidency despite booming economy, according to new

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: NBC News poll. M Hm, yeah, whatever, Who's who the

76
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: funk is it booming for? Yeah? That's the thing that's

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: like when you want when you read these headlines and

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: they're like despite the booming economy, you're like, are you

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: reading the news where people are constantly walking out of

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: their jobs like in every perceivable industry or unionizing to

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: try and find a way to get guaranteed better outcomes

82
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: for themselves. That's what the real economy that you need

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: to be paying attention to is the experience of fucking

84
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: actual people rather than being like, man, look at the

85
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: fucking lines going up on the NASDAC. The are we

86
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: talking about? And I get that there's other dimensions to

87
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the economy that you know, he's helped cut down a deficit, etcetera.

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: But these things are are lost on voters. And that's

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: not like a despite booming situation. It's because that version

90
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: of the economy is not experience, is not the one

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: that's lived by people. Um, and you see a lot

92
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of people saying like, what's gonna is it gonna be

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: a red wave in November? I mean, but the lack

94
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: of ship going on, I don't that that seems like

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: it could be. It will be, will be. And you know,

96
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: because you know, there's two types of economy. There's the

97
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: economy for the wealthy and then there's the tangible economy

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of us, right, and everything tangible that

99
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: this administration can be doing and is not being done.

100
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: It's not there's two tests for five people. Yeah, you know,

101
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: and I know people whenever I say that, you know,

102
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: some people come in my mentions is like, actually he's

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: done this and this, and the judges and and like

104
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: oh that's great man. All this is plastic, but it's not. Yeah,

105
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not hitting to people who are still

106
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: struggling as we are in now year three of a

107
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: pandemic that and doesn't seem to be going away. Yeah,

108
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: and very simple things, you know, like the ship that

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: you campaigned on would probably help, you know, like where's

110
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: that student loan forgiveness? Um? That would that would help

111
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people here, you know, like what happened

112
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: to the getting prescription drugs under control? That's some ship

113
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: that people would put up in a minimum wage didn't

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: he say he was going, you know, that's an executive

115
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 1: order he can do, right. Well. The thing that it's

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: so many there's so many ways to for people to

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: like reason away why it's actually not uh, his fault

118
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, but like nobody gives a funk even if

119
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: you explain, like how difficult it is to do these things.

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: You know, Joe Mansion, And that may be the case,

121
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: and I know that, you know, Capital Hill. Politics is

122
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: more complex than merely being like come on, Joe Mansion,

123
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Yeah, if you're gonna be

124
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: out here trying to motivate people to vote for you,

125
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: you can't be saying ship that you can't get done.

126
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: But again, then nobody would get elected because nobody would

127
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: actually campaign on this ship they can actually do unless

128
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: you're a Republican and you're saying I want to completely

129
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: dehumanize people of color or anyone in the LGBTQ community. Yeah,

130
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: good news. Susan Collins is trending, not because she's resigning,

131
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: but because she's made a good decision when it comes

132
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: to confirming a Supreme Court justice. She has come on

133
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: said you know what, I kind of funk with Katangi

134
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: Brown Jackson. I think I want to vote to confirm her.

135
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: So with that one Republican vote, and knowing Joe Mansion

136
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: is also a yes, uh, I don't. Hopefully that wasn't

137
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: too much in doubt, we're looking very We're looking at

138
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: a good shot here having our first black woman uh

139
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: seated as a Supreme Court justice. So you know, fantastic.

140
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: I it's gonna be very funny. I just want to see,

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, because every it seems like every Republican or

142
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: anybody who's in doubt has to publicly say it before

143
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: they go give the vote. I just wonder how many

144
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: other Republicans. Is it going to be one of those

145
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: cases where you know, it's just Mitt Romney and Susan

146
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Collins and then all the Democrats maybe not submending, Like

147
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: what's that split gonna look like? Right? Because when kavanag

148
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: got into office, the reason that Democrats didn't vote for

149
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: him is because he had a sexual harassment and assault

150
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: allegation for Amy Cohen Barrett. Two reasons, she was not

151
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: that qualified, one of the least qualified judges in history.

152
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: And also they were ramming it through a month before

153
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: the election. That's a pretty legitimate claim. Uh, there's no

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: legitimate claim that the Republicans would have for not putting

155
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: through Judge Jackson outside of well, she is a Negro

156
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: and even then and they and they couldn't even be

157
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: they couldn't even be there being cowardly in their racism

158
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: by just being like, well, I don't like some of

159
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: the sentencing decisions that she made. I have to look,

160
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: something's over real quick? Is it her complexion? Because you

161
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: voted in somebody from a fucking cult just a couple

162
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: of years ago, So where's the line exactly, And like

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you said, she's has more judicial experience in like four

164
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: of the justices that have been seated. There's there's nothing,

165
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: and that's what And I think that's what made the

166
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: confirmation painful to watch, and also the lack of protection

167
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: that was offered by Democrats while the Republicans just basically

168
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: tried to smear her with all these fantastic nonsense reasons

169
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: um to the point where even Joe Mansion came in

170
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: with the late take when he was like, man, that

171
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: was despicable what those Republicans did to her. He's like,

172
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: that's just shameful how they spoke to her. And I'm like,

173
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: why why don't you go back into the fucking corner

174
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: folds speak up when you're actually a vote for something

175
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: that's going to help people, rather than being like, let

176
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: me do the bare minimum and be like, Yo, that

177
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: racism ship on TV was bad. Keep that ship behind

178
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: closed doors. Like we come on, what happened to decorum?

179
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Racial slurs under our breath? Okay, let's take a quick

180
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. And we're back. Madison

181
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: is trending, not the city in Wisconsin, but Madison Cawthorne,

182
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: the wonderful young fascist boy from North Carolina who has

183
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: been making a lot of headlines, especially this last week,

184
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: when he was saying stuff like I've been I was

185
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: invited to coke orgies, that politicians are in this is

186
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 1: wild caused a huge uproar in the party. On the Republicans,

187
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, well, then who the funk are you

188
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: talking about if you think this is really happening, and

189
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: also like what are you what? Why why are you

190
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: finding why are you trying to say this? So Kevin McCarthy,

191
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: the minority leader of the House, you know, decided he's like,

192
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit this young man down. We're gonna have

193
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: a talking to. We're gonna just kind of chat this out,

194
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: see where his heads at. And this is what's happened

195
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: since their discussion. Quote McCarthy says he told Madison Cawthorne

196
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: during a meeting that the freshman has lost his trust

197
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: and he needs to take steps to turn his life

198
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: around or else there could be consequences. Also, McCarthy says

199
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Cawthorne admitted his orgy and cocaine allegations were exaggerated. Slash untrue. Huh. Anyway, anyway, yeah,

200
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: I you know, I read I saw this story, and

201
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: like many stories that come from you know, a certain

202
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: side of the aisle is just kind of brushes over me.

203
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: But you know, look, if you if you're gonna say

204
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: you've been to a lot of coke orgy parties, you've

205
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: gotta start giving receipts. Bro. We live in the digital age.

206
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: You gotta get some receipts. Because I want to know

207
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: who I need to party with. You know what I'm saying,

208
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: I want to know who to vote for. I'm gonna

209
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: vote for people who having coke orgy parties. They're like,

210
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm like, I'm like, well, what's your what's

211
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: your policy on minimum ways? Like I think it should

212
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: be sucking forty? Alright? Many had funck on then with

213
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: your bad self. Um, Emmett Till, it is trending because man,

214
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: we've we've finally done it, folks. Uh. And by we've

215
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: finally done it is we've finally after what to almost

216
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: two d fifty years made lynching a federal hate crime.

217
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. Like Emmett Till for people who know,

218
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: I think his birthday was recently and he would have

219
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: been eighty one, I believe to let you know, right

220
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: this he was killed when he was fourteen years old. Yeah,

221
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, Um, and he was never convicted of a crime.

222
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: This is like one of the you know, just put

223
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: it on the list of the numerous just horrific hate

224
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: crimes that have been perpetrated against black people in this country.

225
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: And you know, lynching. My god, We've just finally got

226
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: to the point where we are putting it into federal

227
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: law that lynching is a hate crime. And yeah, it's

228
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a it's an eerie fucking headline.

229
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: It is an eerie headline because you know it, it

230
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: just goes to show you you know, I think like

231
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the most vile thing is murder. One. So the fact

232
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: that and and it is very obvious that the history

233
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: of lynching is towards a specific group of people. Um.

234
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: And I I can't imagine anything else where it would

235
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: have taken this long, right, Like, I have a horrible

236
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: thing on my mind, and I'm very hesitant to even

237
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: use it as an example. But you know, like if

238
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: this is you think, think of like, you know, like

239
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: a terrible thing that happened. So long ago, and and

240
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: it affects like a group, a specific group of people,

241
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: and in they just outlawed it as a crime. Right.

242
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: It's terrible. It almost says, honestly, man, we didn't think

243
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: you were worth it until now. And even now it's

244
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of a smack in the face because fourth over

245
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: four thousand black people have been killed through lynchings, um,

246
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: and now we're like, yeah, okay, maybe we can handle

247
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: it as a at the federal level, make this law.

248
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: This They tried to make this a lot, like over

249
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: something like two hundred times, and you always had these

250
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: custodians of white supremacy in in Congress who found a

251
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: way to get it in their mind that this isn't

252
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: something that I had to be addressed. So you know,

253
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: you know the funny now too, is the the fact

254
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: that it passed now, Like I don't even have like

255
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: good will faith in the fact that it passed now

256
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: because because now it's even just like some of the

257
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: some of the white supremacists are like, Hi, fine, we'll

258
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: give you this, but you can shut the funk up now,

259
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, see, we're not racist. Lynch is a hate crime.

260
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: Like so I don't even have a good will faith

261
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: about it now even right, it's just yeah, it's it's

262
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: it's it's tarnished. Uh. And you know the glacial pace

263
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: at which change happens in this country, Like we said,

264
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: like for any other thing, there's people are in two

265
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: different schedules. There's a schedule for legislators to be like, yeah,

266
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, and then there's the lived experience

267
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: of people who are saying, if these laws, if we

268
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: don't have laws or standards that protect people from being

269
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: discriminated against or violated, um, then all every second that

270
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: passes is more opportunity for terrible ships happen. And look,

271
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: and it only took two u or forty six years

272
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: and over four thousand bodies. And then finally Disney's trending

273
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: because now they're they're they're they're trying to still clean

274
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: up the don't say gay stuff. Still many people are

275
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: looking at Disney saying like, please do something like you

276
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: could probably make ship happen if you're a little more forceful. Today,

277
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: one of the executives, Carry Burke, said, you know, as

278
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: a parent of one transgender child and one paying sexual child,

279
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: I support the l g b t Q. I a

280
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: community and racial minorities represented through Disney characters. And that

281
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: was like this quote, and I think a lot of

282
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: people were like, don't like, please don't do the thing

283
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: of like as a parent of or as a wife

284
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: or partner two type thing to just like, what's what's

285
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: the action that's going to happen. There's a there's a

286
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: Reimagined Tomorrow campaign that people are talking about from Disney.

287
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: That quote aims to better represent minority groups and established

288
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: inclusion standards across all content by two of regular and

289
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: recurring characters across Disney General Entertainment. Scripted content will come

290
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: from underrepresented groups. Um, and this is the thing too,

291
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just being depicted on screen, isn't isn't it?

292
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: That's that doesn't end there by saying well, we'll pay

293
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: more brown people and and and anyone who's not assist

294
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: heat to be on these shows. That's there's also you

295
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: have to also demonstrate that you understand the dimensions that

296
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: affect these people and say, you know what, we're actually

297
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: going to completely divest from anybody who votes for this bill.

298
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Anybody who voted We're not we don't funk with you anymore.

299
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: And we don't need the tax breaks they gave us

300
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: that we've you know, kind of tipped for tatted that

301
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: we won't really talk about, but they could be doing things.

302
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing that's upsetting a lot

303
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: of people who are watching this go down. I think too,

304
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, like, obviously representation is great. Representation matters, um,

305
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: but you know, a representation matters for the most the

306
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: people who that's the only power they have to give,

307
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: right right, As a filmmaker, that is my gift that

308
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: I give to the world. So like, if the gift

309
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: that I can give to the world, I can also

310
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: add representation into that, that is the most powerful thing

311
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: that I, as a filmmaker can do. Uh. Disney got

312
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fucking money. Yeah, Disney got a lot

313
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: of power. Disney has a lot of influence. Representation is

314
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: the least you can do. That's the least you can do, Disney.

315
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: And this is I mean, there's no secret I love

316
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: a Disney Park. Disney guy, love it, love it, have fun, beautiful.

317
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: It's the least you can do. It's not the most

318
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: you can do. It's the least you can do. It

319
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: as literally, the least you can do and when you

320
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: do the least you can do, UM, you tell us

321
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: where you stand. It's easy for you to put you know,

322
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: representation in movies and film because one it caused it's

323
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: no what off you're back. Yeah, you're not really making

324
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: directors new instructions exactly, you're giving new instructions. And then

325
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: also you get money off of that. They're not stupid. Coco.

326
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: Coco made a lot of money. Yeah, and any people

327
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: of color does very well. They've been saying that white

328
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: people will also watch this. Yeah, it doesn't matter. You're

329
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: not doing anything. You're not that that doesn't given more

330
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: representation for a company where you know that's the least

331
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: you can do, means nothing. It means nothing because the

332
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: real representation isn't just in the films, it's in the

333
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: decision making because but you know, you zoom out, you say, well,

334
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: where those decisions being made. They're made in rooms where

335
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: these people, I'm willing to bet the complexion of these rooms,

336
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: in the makeup of these rooms are not nearly as

337
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: diverse as they want their content to be. UM. And

338
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of ship that you know, again,

339
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: like you're saying, when you do the bare minimum, it

340
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: shows you're not really committed to change. It's like if

341
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: you're trying to work out and you say, well, what

342
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do today, I'm like, well, I'm gonna lift

343
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: can of soup over my head. That's I'm gonna do

344
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: for my workout, and like, well, that's not really it's

345
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: not really challenging. You don't know how much change you

346
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: can expect when you're not challenging yourself and by them

347
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: just being like, yeah, I don't know, I'll just tell

348
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: these casting directors and development people to just put some

349
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: more brown and gay in our things. That's not going

350
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: to be the change. And that real change is who's

351
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: making this. Who has a seat at the fucking table,

352
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: because that's where the representation, I think, like all underrepresented

353
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: people say, is like the real representation to that needs

354
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: to happen is the people who have the power to

355
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: pull these levers and say all right, we'll do the

356
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: equivalent of posting a black square on our Instagram. Uh

357
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: so you know this. This again, change happens at a

358
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: glacial pace for certain groups, and it's it's hard to

359
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: watch sometimes, but we shall see. If Disney really want

360
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to make up for this, Disney should give one free

361
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: year of tickets and the free stay at Disney World

362
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: to all marginalized people. So straight white, well you gotta

363
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: pay for Disney everybody else hand and run them tickets, bay.

364
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that they funk up though two? And

365
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: they're like, we hear you. That's why we have a

366
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: new program called Disney Gross for all the people to

367
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: enjoy the park. And you for real, that's not the

368
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: who thought of this? Yeah, what's your base and marketing

369
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: thought would be a great idea, you know, tongue in

370
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: cheek kind of thing. And you're like, where you are

371
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: you might as well just put a song of the

372
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: South back on? All right? Well, you know I would

373
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: go to Disney GROLs. I'm not even gonna Disney gros

374
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Disney gro Land would be fucking negro Land would be tight.

375
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: They couldn't handle people. And that's what man, that's actually

376
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: what you do. It's like, look, this is it's shut down.

377
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: It's only for if you're black. You can come. If

378
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: you're black coming to Disneyland, and we're gonna have a

379
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: cookout on the fucking in the French Quarter. We gotta

380
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: fucking second line coming through. You thought it was normal.

381
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and wow, I'm here for it. I'm here.

382
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: Wait till they lead into that ship the wrong way. Yeah,

383
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: don't take my idea. Thissnegroes is completely the concept of
