00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.959 That's her whole purpose, her whole job. 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.879 She loves children. 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.360 She sees these children who are dying. 00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:00.720 Of course, she is going to be free Palestine because she is seeing these children die. 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.160 And it is horrible and horrific. 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:12.720 To claim that it is not a genocide is ignorant. 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.000 Because it is. 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.240 What is wrong with you? 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.439 Truly. 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.360 To feel like that. 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:29.120 For first of all, for people who went through the Holocaust, how can you be supportive of what Israel is doing to Palestine? 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.480 To Gap, to the Palestinians, to Gaza. 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:37.360 How can you support that at all? 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:49.440 Then to claim that someone is anti-Semitic for not supporting genocide. 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.200 Well, what is wrong with you? 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.799 It's just, it's so much, and it's so many celebrities. 00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:03.600 Now you've got Pink who has made her stance clear, and I shan't be listening to her anymore. 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.360 Because no, I unfollowed her. 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.279 I blocked all her music. 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:22.720 Because I'm not going to support someone who, first of all, doesn't even think that there is a genocide, which is just some plain ignorance, and then wants to act fake. 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.639 This is the same woman who has a song called Dear Mr. 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.000 President that was for George W. 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.200 Bush. 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:32.639 No. 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.559 Fuck off with that shit. 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.679 And I'm not going to be listening to Sharon anymore either. 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.120 Blocked him. 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:51.840 Because you made your stance clear by not supporting Macklemore and just taking a non-stance. 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:59.120 Before this, he hadn't said anything about Palestine, so I was fine listening to him. 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:05.120 I gave giving celebrities who haven't said anything a little bit of grace, because I'm not gonna make assumptions. 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.399 But okay giving them some grace. 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:18.799 But there's a difference between giving someone grace and then him taking that non non-stance. 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.879 Like it's not political. 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.720 Are you sure? 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.399 Are you sure? 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:26.879 There's that. 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.639 It sucks because I really like Ed Sharon's music, but again, I'm not gonna. 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:45.840 I can't listen to him now because now I know that maybe he is someone who supports freaking Israel, and I can't support Israel. 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.960 Not with everything that they are doing. 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.879 It's awful. 00:10:53.759 --> 00:11:01.519 Also, I'm not gonna listen to Metallic anymore because they freaking came out. 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:08.399 James Hetfield had come out and said that music is not political. 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.399 Are you freaking kidding me? 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.480 Music has always been political. 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.720 What rock have you been living under? 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.720 Oh what the hell? 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.720 You have music that is in itself political. 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.480 That's like all of your all of Metallica songs when they first came out are so political. 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.559 He wants to come out and say that. 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:29.840 Nah, fuck you. 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:36.240 That's even funnier to me because like come on. 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:46.720 How can you take that stance when your whole entire whole entire catalog is in itself political? 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:56.960 Then I've got I follow a lot of um metalhead content creators because they're just awesome and they do metal covers of songs, and it's the greatest thing ever. 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.000 And all of them are like, seriously, what the fuck? 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:01.600 What a letdown. 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.960 Here, what about these lyrics of yours? 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.000 You know what I mean? 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.720 They're just all like, what the shit? 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.360 Right? 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.480 Which I mean, legit, I would be like that too. 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:22.480 I am, because come on, your entire catalog is frickin' political in itself. 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:26.960 What the hell? 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.159 What is going on? 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.320 Then I found this out yesterday, and I'm so I'm so sad. 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.679 And I'm just like, are you kidding me? 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.600 Because he's been so anti-Trump. 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.240 You're doing a song with that piece of shit. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.240 Are you kidding me? 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.120 What? 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:02.639 The hell? 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:03.200 No. 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.759 And he's like, we've been friends. 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:10.000 Okay, fine, then be friends, but don't do a freaking song with him. 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.360 K rock is a piece of shit. 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.159 Like what the fuck Eminem? 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.480 What the hell? 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.799 Yes, he's been so oh man. 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.879 He's been so anti Trump. 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.879 Do that? 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.279 Nah, man. 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.000 Nah. 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.039 What? 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.960 Nah, I can't

listen to Eminem. 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.320 Not that I ever listened to kid rap, cuz ew. 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.840 Never was on my repertoire of music to begin with. 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:12.080 I guess what I'm really stating asking is what responsibility do celebrities have to use their platform for good. 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:19.919 Like to make note of what is happening in this world. 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.000 Like what what do they have to do for that? 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.120 Is that something that they should do? 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.000 I mean they're a part of this world, right? 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:32.399 Or is that something they should do? 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:48.480 Is be a part of it and to use their platform to highlight the awful things that are happening and also the good things that are happening too. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.799 It's like, like I said, there are some celebrities who have not made any sort of stance whatsoever. 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:04.159 There are quite a few of them who have not said anything. 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.559 In itself, that is political too. 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:17.600 Again, however, I am giving them a little bit of grace by not immediately assuming that they're assholes. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.679 Because everyone addresses things differently. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.559 Right? 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.679 Not gonna assume that they're just assholes. 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.159 But in itself, that is also still political. 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.799 Celebrities who are pro-Pestine. 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:52.799 We got Bella Hadid Hadid, Susan Saradin, who was like arrested because she was protesting, I think, in New York. 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:58.559 Mark Ruffaloo, who has been very strong, very strong. 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:11.600 Dualipa, Jenna Ortego, or Ortega, Ariana Grande, and these are the celebrities who are unfortunately pro-Israel. 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:26.559 We have Gal Gadau, who was an IDF soldier, Jerry Steinfield, Amy Schumer, Maya Bayalik, I think I said that wrong. 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:34.080 Jamie Lee Curtis, which is a freaking disappointment, John Voigt, Arnold Sportsnegger. 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:45.120 Now, don't get me wrong, there is probably a whole bunch that I've missed of celebrities who are pro-Palestine and those who are pro-Israel, okay? 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:55.039 Again, saying that we're against Israel does not make anyone anti-Semitic. 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.120 It doesn't make us anti-Semitic. 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.679 We're not saying we hate hate Jewish people. 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:05.519 We're saying we don't like what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:13.279 I don't, I really do not understand why that is hard for people to understand, but it is. 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.920 I don't how does that make sense? 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.279 In a way, they almost became what they were fighting against. 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.519 What have any of those children ever done to them? 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:50.880 Nothing. 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.799 Nothing at all. 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.799 They have done nothing. 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.400 They they are children and they're alive. 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.160 They deserve to be alive. 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:12.079 Watching the videos of these children who are starving, who have lost the limbs, it is very hard to watch. 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:13.519 Do I still watch it? 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:13.920 Yes. 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.160 Do I still share it and post it? 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.359 Yes, I do. 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:26.079 Because it is important for people to see that and to understand that this is the reality that they are living in. 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.799 That is their reality. 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:36.799 It is so so sad as someone who has nieces and nephews of various ages. 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:45.759 I can not imagine ever seeing my little babies go through that as well. 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.599 Now, they might have multiple reasons for doing this. 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:25.599 They might be someone who maybe is not comfortable with that kind of spotlight. 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:36.319 Maybe they are ones who instead donate or do stuff like that because they don't want to be in the spotlight to take away from what's happening. 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.519 Because sometimes that happens. 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:42.240 Like the celebrity is suddenly in the news when what's happening should be the news. 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.160 Now, that's just me guessing. 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.279 I don't know. 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.559 I can't read their minds. 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.319 I'm not a publicist. 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.400 So maybe it's something like that. 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:58.720 Maybe they're scared to speak out because we've seen how that works. 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:03.440 Some people get blasted for being either or, it doesn't matter. 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.000 So maybe they're scared to speak out. 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:12.160 I can understand that too, because people have gotten death threats, people get hate online. 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.720 I can understand that as well. 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:22.880 I guess what I'm trying to ask is what is a celebrity's responsibility? 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.119 Should they all be speaking out? 00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.759 Should they all be making a stance? 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:37.839 Whether they're a singer or an artist or any sort of celebrity, should they be speaking out on what's happening? 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:57.279 Is that their responsibility because they do have a platform and they can get that information out and they can share and they can post and they can do all of these things that we may not be able to because we're don't

have that sort of clout? 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.960 Was that something that they should do? 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:01.920 You know what I mean? 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.400 Like, should they do that? 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.680 That's an honest actual question for me, by the way. 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.079 I do want to know what everyone's thinking. 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:27.039 Do celebrities have the responsibility to speak out on political issues. 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.359 Pro Palestine, Florence Pugh. 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:42.559 We love her. 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:47.200 Also, Olivio Olivia Rodrigo as well. 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:54.880 I believe she wore a dress that was Palestinian made or like Palestinian created. 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.440 Fact check me on that one. 00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.599 Yeah, I will rephrase my. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:24.880 Questions do celebrities have a responsibility to speak out on the political climate to use their platform to raise awareness for things that are happening, such as Gaza, Cornell, whole bunch of other things that are happening in this world. 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.759 Is that their responsibility to do? 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.720 Now remember, I said that I was giving some celebrities some grace? 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.680 I am. 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.799 Because again, I don't I can't read their minds. 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.880 I said in my Taylor Swift episode that I was gonna address some things when it comes to her because she's been getting a lot of heat. 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.240 She hasn't said anything. 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:50.160 Then some people are like, she's gone to fundraisers for Palestine, right? 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.880 Now, she has not said anything at all. 00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.400 So I don't know. 00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:59.920 Now, has she donated? 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.720 Yeah, she has. 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.079 She's gone to donations. 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.880 Maybe that in a way is taking a stance. 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:12.160 A lot of people feel that she should make more of a stance because of the fact that her platform is huge, okay? 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.599 Her platform is huge. 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:19.200 Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars right now, and she continues to do that. 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:30.079 People on the internet are like she needs to take a stance, or not taking a stance, is saying that she's pro-Israel. 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:31.680 I don't think that's true. 00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.079 Okay. 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:42.720 I think that she has made donations quietly, and that's okay. 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:57.279 Like I said, there's probably a lot of celebrities who do donations, who do the smaller type things rather than be out and loud like others have. 00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:01.359 There is nothing wrong with either either one, I don't feel like. 00:25:06.160

--> 00:25:08.160 Celebrities are a target. 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.680 They are a target. 00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:17.039 I think what we sometimes forget is that we need to consider their how their lives as well. 00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.799 Because they are already in the spotlight, right? 00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.880 They're already in the spotlight. 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:31.119 By taking that sort of stance, it can make them and their family be even more in danger. 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:40.640 I mean, you have people who are getting, I mean, Susan Saratin just a few weeks ago was arrested for protesting. 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:41.599 Did it stop her? 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.440 No, it didn't, because she's badass. 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.279 So I wonder, and I was talking to one of my friends about this. 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.000 I wonder if part of the reason Taylor Swift hasn't said anything is because a danger. 00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:07.519 Also because she knows that the second she did say anything, it suddenly would not be about Palestine and Gaza and all of that. 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.839 Suddenly it would be about her. 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:22.240 Because that happens every single time she does something, suddenly it is about her, and it'll take the focus away from what is actually important. 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:34.319 Now, one of my my other besties, Angela, said that yeah, maybe it would take away from things, but for a moment, and that's where her platform could come in handy because it would get out there. 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:35.440 Which, yeah, true. 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.000 I get that. 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:47.440 I also know that the orange man has like a major freaking beef with her and just wants her attention. 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:50.480 We're always talking about not feeding the trolls on the internet. 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:52.240 Let's not feed that troll. 00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:58.000 She's been taking off her music from all of the shit because they've been using it. 00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:59.359 She's like, yeah, no. 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:09.039 And I think she made it change something on TikTok where our artists can do that now more easily if they want, don't want certain people to use their music. 00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:10.319 I like that. 00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:17.039 I think there's a lot of different nuances when it comes to when it comes to this. 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.480 Like I said, I am giving celebrities who have not made a clear stance some grace. 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.640 Because again, I cannot read their mind. 00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:26.960 I do not know what they are thinking. 00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.799 Uh I don't know if they are pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:46.240 And I think there's small ways that we we as smaller people who don't have a platform can can help to get it out there. 00:27:46.400 --> 00:28:01.839 That's anytime Miss Rachel shares photographs and videos of what's happening in Gaza, I like and I put a repost because I want it to get out there. 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.279 That's a small thing. 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.519 We can make small protests of ourselves. 00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:12.240 Like I said, Pink lost a whole bunch of followers, and then so did Ed Sharon. 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.839 Block their music. 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:22.640 Now I gotta block Eminem because I find the fact that he did a song with Kid Rock to be a major ick. 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:33.680 I haven't listened to him in a while, anyways, but I'm gonna block him because no, how can you do no, no, with everything that Kid Rock has said and just who he is a person? 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:38.400 If y'all wanted to be good, if you wanted to be a quiet friend with him, okay, cool. 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:40.400 Making a song with him, nah. 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.240 And Metallica. 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:55.279 But it's like the small things that you can do to protest because it it is it is harder to it's hard to protest sometimes because you want to, but it's like where do you start? 00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:01.839 Just trying to not support things that are pro-Israel, which again is really hard. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.920 Sometimes you're not gonna be able to do that because everything is expensive, but it's just the small things. 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:13.759 Thank you for listening to my to me ramble, and until next time. 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.559 Bye.
