I mean we 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.000 all know that first of all, Um, seven thousand of 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.799 those workers didn't come back because they died, and then 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.839 a lot a lot of the rest of us. Uh, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440 it's like get a job that pays you twelve hundred 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.280 bucks a month and then for childcare because you're no 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.800 longer at home to watch your children or do not 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.280 have a job. So a lot of people chose that. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.560 It was like pretty straight up about the whole you know, like, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.679 why is this quote unquot labor shortage happening? Um? Really 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.320 it's a it's really it's a living way to job shortage. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.600 That's why nikes ain't going back to work. John a 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.440 little bit about that I heard, but yeah, it was 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.840 like very just like funny and show. Oh.

Um and uh yeah, so asapasta, 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.960 how's everything looking in the district? House? House things looking 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.280 for him? For you out here? Man, it's bad. Not 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.400 Like as soon as I left the meeting, somebody called me. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.880 I was like, Hey, these people in your district just 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.519 got their house shot off last week. What we're gonna 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.040 do about it? And so we're meeting on Friday, Like 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.240 they were like, oh, you want more constant patrol, which 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.720 is cool. I'm gonna email them, you know, police sergeant 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.640 guy for our area tomorrow. I let them know because 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:23.799 if that's what the people wh want, that's what the 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.320 people get. But we're also gonna be on Friday to 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:32.280 be like also and or instead, let's try this because 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.000 I've been like researching this program that they do a 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.040 lot of other cities called Cure Violence, where they just 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.080 like hired like gangstass niggas to like just go to 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.440 the gangs and be like, please don't shoot each other 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.160 and not like in a but like like nigga understand, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.600 like why are you killing each other? But I fucking 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.280 get it, Like you don't, like you can do something 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.880 like you you can have a better life than this 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.800 and you can resolve your conflicts without this. And it's 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.680 been working with a lot of places. I would hope 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:04.280 that happens like more often and outside of the context 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.360 of like a organization having to put it together. It 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.440 seems like back in the day, like o Gez used 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.640 to do that a lot more just on general principle, like, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.800 oh man, I can't have these young shooting each other, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.560 like I'm I'm the O G I gotta like, I 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.080 can't participate in that ship. I gotta like, you know, well, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.480 here's the thing. Yeah, a lot of people do it 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.040 in their spare time because they're just humanitarians. But like 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.360 they're walking six hours a week at the fucking plant 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.560 or whatever they're you know, what if they could do 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.320 this as a career, like we're like their whole job 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:40.600 forty hours a week, fucking gang niggas don't shoot each other. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.160 I think about half a feeling that would be. So 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.800 it's like there's definitely a lot of people qualified to 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.120 do it. Yeah. Yeah, So it's like a very in 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.320 my in my view, a very specialized skill set of 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.880 like knowing the streets, having been there yourself, you know, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.840 and learning these other like very empirically based like ways 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.919 of you know, volve in conflict and like you know, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.200 changing community norms around conflict and ship. But it's what 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.080 we've been doing this whole time. It's just that people 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.200 do it electively. The people just do it out of 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.320 the goodness of their hearts and then they got to 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.320 go work two jobs, three jobs in order to like 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.320 keep their kids out the streets to pay for you know, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.200 the basketball program because the kids don't get caught up 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.680 in the ship. So I mean it's all part of 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.920 the you know, the cycle's like, yeah, we all have 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.760 so much of our own ship that we have to 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.080 worry about the like we can't focus on like these 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.160 giant backro problems that ship. Right, I work with this 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.440 cat named Darius. Shout out to Darius, um save the us. 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.640 We bought a bus this summer to take kids to 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.480 like programs and ship. And Darius has been in jail. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.040 There's like probably moved way back in the day. There 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.120 is might a shot someone. I don't know why Darius 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.120 d but when he brings the kids out to the 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.320 car wash where the people come get the car wash, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.880 the kids make a little bit of money and it's 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.320 like a healthy place with the kids to be after school. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.559 The kids love that Darius wasn't jail once. The kids 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.160 like look up to him so much because he was 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.880 in jail. Ones and you look up to him because 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.720 he's like, y'all don't want to do that. Y'all don't 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.560 want to be me Like, they ain't gonna listen to 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.839 a Nike that's never been there. They're not gonna listen 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.400 to somebody that don't really know, but they listen to 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.040 there is because there's has been to jail. And so 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.960 it's like that fundamental model of like you have to 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.880 have been there to know, and we should pay people 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.120 with that that skill set and that expertise to do 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:27.880 the work of disrupting the violence in the community. Anyway. 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:33.480 People getting shot around ship man, I mean, I mean 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.760 we're getting shot around here too. Yeah. We ain't got 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.599 anohing on Savannah probably No. I mean, yo, there's like 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:46.400 some next level warfare ship going on, and this, I 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.400 mean they're like like, motherfucker's just coming across motherfuckers, this 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.000 coming from different states up in here. It's a start ship. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.200 It's pretty bad. Um, But what do we got for 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.600 the show today? We're gonna be doing fresh back from 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.120 attorney to leave somewhat. Um. We there's so much has 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.080 been happening that we haven't got the chance to talk 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.800 about in like a fresh way in terms of just 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.760 like keeping up with the ongoing happenings around the country. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.560 So we're gonna have a news episode. We look at 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.480 the news, we go talk a little bit about the baby, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.120 talk a little bit about meek Mill, squid games, a 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.560 little bit of abortion ban or lack thereof, Thank you 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.320 Supreme Court. You know, just a little bit of everything. Today. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:37.480 We're gonna talk about some Dave Chappelle comedy special enough. Yeah, 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.640 we will be back with that and more after the job. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.280 All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.240 in the house. So what do we got first for 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.520 the people today? So, as you may know, the Justice 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.280 Department filed it's lawsuit against Texas last month for for 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.040 but they alleged with an unconstitutional ban on abortion at 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.600 six weeks UM no carve out conclusions for incests, rape 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.400 or sexual assault of any kind. For the dresser Department 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.920 argue that this Senate bill sent A Bill eight was 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.320 unconstitutional because it violated the supremacy clause as well as 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.920 the equal protection afforded under the Fourteenth Amendment. And it 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.000 also um they said, violated uh U s Supreme Court 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.920 President um. And then this week, in a one page ruling, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.760 US disc Court Judge Robert Pittman said that from the 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.559 moment uh SPA went to effect women have been unlawfully 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.280 prevented from exercise and control over their lives and ways 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.440 that are protected by the Constitution. Um. I'm gonna jumping 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.960 into the article real quick to add a little bit 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.920 of a little bit of Now, this is one of 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.000 those ones that happened when you were on your break 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.360 that like, I definitely want to get your thoughts off. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:56.880 I mean, it's one of those sort of things that 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.640 was like I kind of already know what you think 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.920 about it, but well you know about it. Here about it. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.320 I'm sorry. What I want to hear what you think 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.200 about Yeah, I want to think about it is abortion 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.920 will always be saying some legal for rich women, rich people, 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.199 I should say, um. And so really for me, this 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.559 is like this is like such a fundamentally working class issue. Um. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:25.600 It's it disproportionately and almost in a targeted way. UM 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.480 seeks to like oppress for women of color, poor people 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.120 of color, who can't travel, who can't jump on a 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.760 plane and go to California and get an abortion. So 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.160 it's like not just like oh, you hate women like 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:42.600 you specifically hate poor people that seek abortions. UM, And 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.600 so looking at it, you know from actually like okay, 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.880 from like a class perspective, like it's kind of like 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:54.160 a class struble issue. But interestingly UM as an aside. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.920 I've been reading this book called Freedom Dreams. It's talking 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.080 about like the black radical tradition throughout history, and like 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.640 talked about different people talked about how the black feminist 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:06.880 movement um as a in part because the influence of 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.800 the Nation of Islam, Like there's a lot of pushback 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.360 against like the white feminists call for, like you know, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.480 abortion on demand because it was seen as like a 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.000 form of population control in the black community. It's a 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.280 form of like genocide. I think you still hear a 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.320 lot of those talking points repeated to day um, but 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.160 those are the people that are seeking to control maybe 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.000 keep his party there. Dont those you know, Black women 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.480 are the kinds of people you hear on Fox News 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.560 that they don't want to reproduce, like oh, we're gonna 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.800 be overtaken, Oh the great replacement theory, Like you can 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.760 say all day, Oh, it's population controls genocide. It was like, well, 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.040 it's every single person's decision for themselves, and this is 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.520 what they you know, they they're they're trying to oppress 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.680 you about banning these things. This is not anything for 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.360 our benefit was whatever. I mean, this is all like 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:04.360 part of an ongoing Texas project that seems like the 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.680 Texas Republicans have been working on, which is just try 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.360 to establish like the Maga state, you know what I'm saying, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:15.600 Like a state where pretty much all of those all 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:20.120 of those decrees that Trump kind of made on a whim, 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.679 things that couldn't really go through or it's just who 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.920 was talking on Twitter. It's like the Texas Republicans are 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.920 actually trying to govern the state like that and have 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.280 like all of these like extreme rights. So I don't 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.280 think that this is the end of it. I think that, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.400 I mean, assuming that nothing gets done about it, I 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.960 think they're just going to keep trying to push like 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.719 the limits of of what type of different extreme things 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.800 that they can pass down there until they're not in power. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.520 I mean, and they try it in Arkansas, and they're 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.840 gonna try it and like wherever they're starting at first 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.840 in Texas, I think they know they can get a 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.400 lot of this ship like cram through the pass, ye 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.360 know what I'm saying. But I mean they're they're celebrating 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.400 like cops on horseback whippin people one day, you know 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.120 what I'm saying, and then the next day they're like 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.160 passing through like extreme abortion meators. I wouldn't be surprised 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.280 if they passed through some statewide stop and frisk stuff soon, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.559 you know, if it's already on the books for all 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.679 that I know. Fuck. But thankfully, with regards to reproductive 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:27.000 freedom and justice, UM, a federal judge did block the 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:33.120 enforcement of texas is controversial new abortion law, UM, granting 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.560 an emergency requestioned the Justice Department. So we will see. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.199 They will live to find another day. Unfortunately, UM, it's 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.120 definitely going to be a block enforcement with a law 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.400 on a temporary basis basis, and you know, for now 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.280 it's unclear how long I'm gonna be an effect, So 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.800 we will see how long the battle goes on. Do 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.160 we know what other states are trying to pass? They definitely, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.560 I mean the Georgia State Legislature is not in session 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.120 right now, but already people like Butch Miller, who's also 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.440 running a belief for the attendant governor have you know, 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.080 declared that they will, like the gleefully can't wait to 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.040 get get the fucking state legislature into session to start 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:13.320 crafting equally nefarious bills of their own. I'm not aware 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.160 of like what other states, like you know, fucking dashes 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:23.280 are plotting right now, but it's definitely happening. It looks 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:30.120 like Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, Michigan, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.560 I hate that. As you said that, I heard it 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.640 in my head to like the Animaniacs tune of like 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:45.920 the fifty states in yeah, why do why do? Why? 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.680 Does that make me feel like I gotta say, for 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.760 some of you all out there, the Animaniacs was a 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:59.120 cartoon back Damn. Don't like that. Can't even give him 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.240 no door. The explo are some new ship. You're gonna 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.880 hit him with an Animaniac's reference Animaniacs, I would have 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.640 hit it. I would have given a tiny tumbs on 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:11.960 the ass. Fuck. Alright, So up next we're gonna be 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.320 talking about this is kind of a continuation of when 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.720 we each had about We talked a little bit about 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:27.320 the Facebook whistle blower coming forward to review serious harm 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.360 being perpetrated against young people who were using these platforms, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:37.040 particularly Instagram, um worsening or or inciting, you know, eating 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.920 disorders or suicidal audiation and page um girls, things like that, 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:47.359 and so those really interesting reading up on the testimony 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.400 on hearing that it seems to be at issue that's 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:55.560 uniting Republicans and Democrats. UH Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republicans and 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.880 Tennessee accused Facebook of intentionally targeting children under d h 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.720 their tea with an addictive product, saying it's clear that 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.880 Facebook prior types of profit over the well being of 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.960 children and all users. And then she was, you know, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:15.120 echoed by UH subcommittee chair Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Necticut, 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.560 UM say he was like, yeah, bet same, what are 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.640 we gonna do? And so it's interesting that like we 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.760 found some common grounds, like everything hates Facebook. Maybe you know, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.200 we like we can all unite to take him down. Unlikely, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.800 But that's a that's like a two edged thing because 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.320 on on one hand, on one hand, I get what 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.920 you're saying, but I think that that united front is 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:48.080 like resting on you know, very unshaky foundation, because are 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.680 very shaky foundation, because like the reasons that we hate 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.600 Facebook are completely different, you know what I mean, Like 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.320 we hate Facebook because it's causing harm to children and 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.920 and sewing division and spreading hate and stuff like that, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:11.160 disseminating this information. They hate Facebook because they banned Trump 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.840 after he tried to do a coup. You know what 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.920 I'm saying, stuff like they're not even It's like just 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.800 because it's this thing that I always feel about, like, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.120 you know, finding solidarity with the right wingers, And it's 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.880 like if they have the same solutions as we do, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.040 been cool and I like and likely event that the 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.960 solutions to similar problems are the same. But in most 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.800 cases when we do share the same problems, our solutions 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.480 and reasonings for it is like wildly different and ship 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.560 like that. The second thing is, I don't know if 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.960 that is going to hold up because I've already seen 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.520 on Fox News the whole whatever the Democrats and whatever 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.120 the lips do, do the opposite. I've already seen that 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:55.280 ship taken hold. I've seen Laura Ingram, Well, why did 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.520 they hate Facebook all of a sudden? We Maybe Facebook 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.120 isn't doing anything wrong, I mean simply because the Democrats 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.359 have an issue with it. So I mean, if that starts, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.359 if that filters down to Trump and he gives the word, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:13.320 I think Marsha Blackbird will change her to turn. I 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.560 think they should break it all up, to be honest, Yeah, 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.960 not even yeah. I mean the fact that it went 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.760 down in the way that it was, like severely interrupted 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.320 communications for people who rely on it all over the globe. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.000 The fact that it could have that level of influence, 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:34.080 like regardless of any sort of massive conglomerate, any sort 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.880 of mass corporation that has that sort of like vice 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.760 like grip on the public sphere like that. Then Okay, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.919 what a social media being Amazon funk all these niggas. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.720 It's wrong and it's it's the option, right, one might say, Um, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:53.000 so yeah, I mean on just pure antitrust ground breaking up. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:59.760 I wonder on what point would Facebook have done something different, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.440 you know, like how how bad would it have had 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.360 to be before they would have been like, oh, this 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.960 is an emergency, we have to We've got to change 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.600 course or something like that. Because it really makes you wonder, 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.760 because it's pretty bad like what it is, you know, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.280 like the harm that they already are causing, that they 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:24.760 themselves did it internal you know, investigation and researching to 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.280 find out our company is actually causing these effects. You 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.480 know what, guys don't pay attention to that let's just 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.760 keep doing what we're doing, business as usual. We've got 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.879 to get this bread. I mean, what if it was 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.400 really like, what if in their internal investigation it was like, yo, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:44.439 Facebook can cause mass suicide? Like they probably would have 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.080 just said, nothing to see here, let's just how do 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:48.560 we cover it up? They would have sent it to 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.720 the comms department and media, like, hey, how do we 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.240 spend this? Like, well, the mass suicides send all a 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.119 bunch of people to have their nirvana, so they're not 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:02.280 suffering anymore. It's great, you know, Like, maybe I'm naive, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.359 but if you had asked me ten years ago would 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.800 Facebook become the corporation from the Aliens movies? I wouldn't 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.360 have guessed it. But that's where the funk we are 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.119 right now. Where the funk we are right now. I mean, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.600 what do you think that they're gonna do you think 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.520 you think any of that breaking up talk that we're 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.480 talking isn't even a possibility? Here is? I don't think 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.359 enough people genuinely care in order for any action to 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.240 be taken, because one side is really cut up in 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.400 a culture war market, Rubio putting forward bills to ban 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:37.600 wokeness and corporations or something like these people deeply, deeply 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.800 on serious and so I just like don't think that 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.200 they also think that the issue is so like it's 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:48.280 like it's it's weird because Facebook is like so ubiquitous 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.800 and yet the problem is so niche and that like 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.200 people don't think it affects their bottom line, their bread 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.439 and butter, the kitching table issues of just like what 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.760 impacts their wallet, their family will being you know, things 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:04.679 like infrastructure or child tax credits or you know, just 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.640 stuff of the every day. Uh, the issue of whether 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.000 or not an algorithm, which, first of all, what really 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.679 is an algorithm? I couldn't explain when an algorithm is 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.440 to you could the average voter. I don't know, like 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.640 in the impacts that it's having our childings about their health, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.840 all these things are so I guess in a sense 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:27.200 of seal that I don't think people in Congress are 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.240 going to take it seriously because it's not gonna impact 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:37.640 it's not gonna like resonate with any vote. So what's 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.520 the point. Yeah, like you're gonna read on Facebook one 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:44.480 day on your eighteenth hour of scrolling that Sunday that 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.680 you know, oh, we've been Facebook's algorithm that was directing 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.680 girls to content that's making them suicidal. Like and you're like, huh, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.240 that's interesting. You're gonna keep scrolling through Facebook. Ultimately, That's 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:02.320 how I feel about that. So let's move on to 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.520 this next one. This is probably going to the hottest 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.280 button topic of the week or last few weeks, I 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.800 guess so. Famed comedian Dave Chappelle recently put out a 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:19.520 new special on Netflix called The Closer, and, as has 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.040 been the pattern with all of his other Netflix specials, 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:28.000 it has caused a uproar of controversy over his uh, homophobic, 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:34.480 transphobic lyrics or did I say lyrics been comedy? Bit Um, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.479 I'm really interested in hearing your take first before you 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.040 go into because you said you watched it recently, right, 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.399 I did. They watched on Sunday. I tried to cry 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.720 on my way to my friend's fucking birthday party because 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.400 I was a little mad. All right, Well, going into that, 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.080 before you get on what you're you know why it 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.000 caused you to have that reaction, Let's start back to, like, 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.960 if you can't remember back when he first started doing 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:05.159 these uh Netflix specials, because each one of them have 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.840 had a, you know, a controversy attached with it as 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.000 far as like on this particular show. I think maybe 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.200 the last one didn't because that was the COVID one, 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.919 So he was mainly talking about like George Floyd COVID stuff. 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.840 But what is your what have you been thinking about 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.880 de Chapel in this since he has made this comeback 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.040 where he's been doing the comedy specials and being in 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.320 the public eye more and stuff like that, what have 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.919 you been thinking about the controversy surrounding him leading up 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.280 to this? I mean, it's funny because I had seen 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.240 very I've recently seen like the last couple of years 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.800 of Netflix specialists of his, and well it felt like 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.480 it was creeping into an uncomfortable territory with regards to 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:47.639 LGBTQ issues. UM. Ultimately I still mostly laughed, Like, you know, 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.640
