way for you to keep up with the different things

that got going on. You know, I'm fully independent now,
21
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.480
and so because of my full independence, I got to
22
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.079
have multiple streams of income and multiple ass multiple avenues
23
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.480
of creativity in order to stay sane. And so if
24
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.080

171
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.720
just seems like we always have ridiculous stuff going on.
172
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.639
But I'm really happy to see that there are always
173
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:25.639
folks that are not for play. Okay, there are always
174
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.879
folks that are not for play. So right now we've
175
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.519
got the Amazon folks who are basically like, listen, we're
176
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.399
not playing with y'all, and we are one thousand percent
177
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.399
ready to go to Why is this not.
178
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:42.960
Going on the screen? Okay?
179
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:51.919
Sorry, so Amazon warehouse workers, workers at three Amazon fertility facilities.
180
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.279
So let me just take a moment for the troll
181
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.080
so that she can feel scene. So this is Nicola
182
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.759
three six nine segment or whatever she said. Mark lamont
183
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:11.440
Hill is a lamestream reject and so are you. Neither
184
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.600
of you do the real work. Don't play with me.
185
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.840
We will flood this matrix. The funny thing about all
186
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.519
of this is that I'm sure this is a black woman,
187
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.279
and my literal PSA later today is later in the
188
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:25.279
show is.
189
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.279
About how.
190
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.320
Black women come for me more than anybody else in
191
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:36.399
the most disgusting of ways, Like, ain't it ain't these
192
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.399
racist folks that be coming at me? They I mean,
193
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.840
because I don't even care the Zionists they've tried to
194
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.639
ruin my life. But it's it's the black women that
195
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.000
blow my mind because the vehemence with which they choose
196
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.200
not to hear what the hell I'm saying is always
197
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.159
beyond me. No, you did say me. Don't come now.
198
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.600
Don't throw your rocks.
199
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.320
And hide your hand. Don't do that, Nicola, don't.
200
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.960
Play that game when you just sat up here and said,
201
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.320
neither of you do the real work, and now you
202
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.759
want to throw rocks and hide your hand, don't play
203
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.080
with me. Up on this Internet, I show up every
204
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.159
goddamn day.
205
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:19.039
And I have in my entire life. In my entire life,
206
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.320
I've been showing up. And it's like these people who
207
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.000
have been emboldened by the anonymity of the Internet to
208
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.320
excise to exercise their misery. If you were showing up.
209
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.639
If you were doing the.
210
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.200
Real work, you wouldn't be up here with no picture
211
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.360
and a fake name trying to talk about people who'll
212
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.720
be out here losing their entire livelihoods.
213
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.639
Stand in for stuff. And I would have said, Shi,
214
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.240
but I.
215
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.759
Don't want to lose my YouTube ability to get what
216
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:55.279
I deserve for money. So Nikola, I wish you would really,
217
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.399
honestly just focus on yourself. You literally have no idea
218
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.759
what Mark lamant Hill does. If you think Mark Lamont
219
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.440
Hill does no real work. So I wish you the best,
220
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:10.000
and I hope that you, instead of expending your energy
221
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:13.559
on individuals that you don't know, actually focus on knowing
222
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:14.240
yourself better.
223
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.519
Okay, now let's get back to what we were talking about. Amazon. Yes, people,
224
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.600
the Amazon folks is not playing with y'all.
225
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.720
I noticed the holidays, and they know it's the holidays,
226
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.840
So this is why it's a big deal. Workers at
227
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.159
three Amazon facilities have authorized a strike, setting up a
228
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.039
potential work stoppage at the height of the holiday season
229
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.240
at warehouses in New York, Chicago, and Atlanta. The team
230
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.320
starts union says Amazon had filed to come.
231
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:54.960
Actually, look who's here. I was talking mess about you
232
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.279
just now, I know.
233
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:56.720
I was saying.
234
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.480
For a few I was listening to it. I was
235
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.240
listening to the want want want sound. I can't wait
236
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.799
for all of that. It's uh, it's haters, man, it's
237
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.679
haters out here.
238
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.759
Well, just for the record, since she was saying that
239
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.000
you don't do any work, do you want to just
240
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.399
tell people?
241
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.320
Just want to just clarify, you.
242
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.440
Know, I decided that I no longer want to do that.
243
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.480
If if I'm outside you know what I mean, I'm
244
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.679
I'm a lot of places doing is the best I
245
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.679
can with what I got. So if people feel like
246
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.679
that's not good enough, that's for them. If they don't
247
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.600
know what I do, then they can google me. It's
248
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.080
not that hard to find out what I do in
249
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:28.440
the world.
250
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:28.879
Google.
251
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:35.919
You better tell them they can google meat.
252
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.840
It's so it's also so weird to hear people on
253
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.279
the one hand talk about doing real work and on
254
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.159
the other hand criticize somebody for not being part.
255
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.879
Of the lamestream media, Like which one do you want?
256
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.000
Like do you want me to do? You want me
257
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:52.679
doing the real work?
258
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:52.759
Like?
259
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.600
What are you talking about?
260
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.480
Listen?
261
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.320
I saw a headline today on it because YouTube will
262
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.679
show you like videos with your naming it and you'd
263
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.080
be like, don't show me that. And someone was like,
264
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.120
someone had a video that said Amanda Seals show business
265
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:07.960
don't want you.
266
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.679
I don't.
267
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.120
I don't want I.
268
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:22.159
Don't want show business so much so that I literally left.
269
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.639
That's the point. I saw one about you two days ago.
270
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.399
I wanted to leave so bad that my house isn't
271
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:30.080
even sold.
272
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.519
You dead asked, was like, I'm out. You called me.
273
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.840
You was like, I'm out. I don't give fun like
274
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.919
I'm out.
275
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:37.879
I saw a video like two days ago when somebody
276
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.039
was saying it was like the end of your career,
277
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.240
and I was like, you're one, You're an idiot.
278
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:43.440
I was.
279
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.679
I watched the whole video, which which made me, you know,
280
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.200
I was in the comments too. I left the comment.
281
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:54.720
I was like, Germit, this is the end of my career.
282
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.360
Yeah, you ended your whole career. And I'm like, are
283
00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.919
you like?
284
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:01.600
And it's all was the person like seven seven YouTube
285
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.080
views and and I'm not trying to like, I don't
286
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.120
judge people how many views they get. It's just the
287
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.120
arrogance and the like high horse from which they like
288
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.120
had so much to say about people's careers and people's
289
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.879
lives and people's choices, and they speak with such authority
290
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.080
about things that they weren't there for.
291
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.559
That's my favorite.
292
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.840
YO say to the Radio one officers and told them
293
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.639
and it was talking and are you talking about like.
294
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:35.840
They said you were talking to the radio one people
295
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:42.440
like they were third graders, don't even be.
296
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.679
I was like, it was comment.
297
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:49.039
I was like, because I know you, I know the
298
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.240
Radio one people I know, like, nope, And this was
299
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.519
that at the beginning of you of the journey there.
300
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:56.600
Like that's how you got there. And I was like,
301
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.559
what the fuck are you talking about?
302
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:57.639
That?
303
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.240
Is that what happened? Radio was called me people, you're
304
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.480
calling me like, YO, think you know, like she's great,
305
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.759
we love her, We were more like her.
306
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.200
Listen. I don't I don't know what phase of humanity
307
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.640
we're in, and I.
308
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.200
Don't know if they like I This is part of why.
309
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.200
I want to go back to school, because I'm like,
310
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.720
was there a version of this in the other times.
311
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.839
Like we have like the coliseum and the gladiator stuff,
312
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.480
But like, was there a version of trolls?
313
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.039
You know, there had to be there had to be
314
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.680
I don't know the answer, but I know there had
315
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:35.880
to be.
316
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.319
We can't be the first iteration civilizations.
317
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.079
I mean, I feel like there.
318
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.680
Were actual trolls at one time, so and then it
319
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:49.359
just like devolved into the human form. But so we
320
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.799
were talking about so this is sixty second headlines and
321
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.480
we were talking about uh So, for the record, I
322
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.880
told Mark that we were going to talk about something
323
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.240
completely different. But I also told Mark that I was
324
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.359
absolutely gonna change my mind before today. So he's fully
325
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.079
aware that anything could happen. But we were talking about
326
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:14.359
Amazon authorizing a strike at three So the Team Saris
327
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.559
union says Amazon has failed to come to the bargaining
328
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.079
table by a deadline of December fifteenth. Amazon workers at
329
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:23.400
a Staten Island warehouse here in New York are the
330
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.640
first ever to win a union election, but they still
331
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.599
don't have a bargaining agreement.
332
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.079
They still don't have a collective barneing agreement.
333
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:32.960
But basically they have decided that they are going to
334
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.000
strike three main Amazon warehouses.
335
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.319
They're striking for Christmas.
336
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.759
Well, people are going First of all, people are going
337
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.240
to be furious. I mean I'm talking about you're including me.
338
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.440
I mean I'm not furious, but I will feel the
339
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.519
pain of it. At the same time, I'm glad that
340
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.480
people are finally starting to organize. Man, you know, there
341
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:59.200
is there are a few places more exploitative than Amazon
342
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.319
saying a lot in America. There are, yes, more more exploitative,
343
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.319
and it's and the problem is because we just love
344
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.799
getting our packaged five minutes after we order it, you know,
345
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.160
we love all the stuff that comes with it.
346
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:14.960
As a bookstore owner, I hate it.
347
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.680
But like, what they basically do is destroy businesses, exploit labor,
348
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.799
and make all the money. And they were willing to
349
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.359
not turn a profit for a decade just to be
350
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:25.599
able to do this.
351
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.400
I mean, it's amazing.
352
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.000
So when I see the workers organized, I just want
353
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.480
everybody out there to accept it. Yet you're gonna be
354
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.960
a little frustrated, and yeah, you're not going to get
355
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.000
a package for you know, or whatever the thing might be.
356
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:37.519
But to not let that.
357
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.440
Frustration make you think that the workers are wrong right,
358
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.799
that these people need to survive and we'll all be
359
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.480
better off when we all have access to living wages.
360
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.720
It's similar to me, like when people get frustrated when
361
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.759
protesters are like slowing up their morning commute commute or
362
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:55.200
if they like, prevent them from catching a flight.
363
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:59.279
And it's like, this is literally the response to something.
364
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:01.200
This is it's not folks, this.
365
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:03.359
Is not like we lost a football game and we're
366
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.799
messing up your life. This is we have to cause disruption,
367
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.759
to disrupt the thing that is actually the bigger problem.
368
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.119
Right, and well.
369
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.920
That's it, No, that's it we wanted to and the
370
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.960
bigger problem is probably messing your life up too.
371
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.519
That's the thing that people don't get it.
372
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.799
Yeah, it's just that folks would rather kind of pretend
373
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.599
that it's not really happening in that way. But it
374
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.400
is happening in that way, in a very real way.
375
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.160
So shout out to the warehouses in New York, Chicago
376
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.400
at Atlanta that are doing this. I know that the
377
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:43.039
the one in New York is the Monster. The Satn
378
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.440
Island warehouse is the Mansta. That's where that's the one
379
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.880
where Chris Malls had done That's where they first unionized,
380
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.279
and that's the one that is like, you know, all
381
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.880
of us not getting our packages. So so that's the
382
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.200
one used to be like a wh.
383
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.240
Okay, so let's talk about this real quick.
384
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.359
Well, there is talk about the postal service being taken private.
385
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:14.640
You do know that not the worst idea I've ever heard, really, isn't.
386
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:14.839
You know.
387
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.839
It's a lot different today with between Amazon and ups
388
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.079
and FedEx and all the things that you didn't have.
389
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.000
But there is talk about that. It's an idea that
390
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.559
a lot of people have liked for a long time.
391
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.359
We're looking at it.
392
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.119
I think we're looking at that along with a lot
393
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:30.279
of it.
394
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:33.319
Now.
395
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.519
This actually connects a little bit to Amazon because, like
396
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.880
someone here in the comments just said, well, they're doing
397
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.680
exactly what they want them to do there.
398
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:45.359
And they're going to replace them with robots.
399
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.680
And I can see the post Office getting replaced with
400
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.759
like the car, the non driving the non person driving cars.
401
00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:59.440
Yeah, but they would have to do this in order
402
00:21:59.480 --> 00:21:59.880
to do it.
403
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.240
Yeah, he's been talking about major cuts to the federal
404
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.079
to I didn't realize that actually most of the post Office,
405
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.200
the post Office, mostly gets his money privately.
406
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.799
I didn't know that.
407
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.960
Yeah, it's a it's an interesting it's an interesting situation.
408
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.440
The post Office is somewhat fascinating. And again, I know
409
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:24.160
we have complained about the post Office. Yeah, legitimate ones,
410
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:27.720
like there's like one teller for like seventeen people in line.
411
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.319
And you know, there was the whole cultural nat of
412
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.559
people going postal because there was this idea that maybe
413
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.440
people are all.
414
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.279
The way stable in the post office because of a
415
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:35.960
few shootings.
416
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:38.480
Stop.
417
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:48.039
But like, I need people to understand a couple of things.
418
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:55.119
One, having an actual postal service that is government run
419
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.759
is kind of what helps keep the world connected when
420
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.640
there that's how I'm able to put a stamp on
421
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:04.119
an envelope and send it to Jabooty and know that
422
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.640
when it gets to Jabooty that it'll get a.
423
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:14.480
Cho Why Jabooty, Why because yeah.
424
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.880
No other reason.
425
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:22.000
Anywhere in the world.
426
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.319
But he just wanted to say, Jeff and because here
427
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:34.920
understand look christ and he said, who's talking about my booty?
428
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.200
I have a funny response to that.
429
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:43.240
But so, but like there has and there's a sense
430
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:45.200
of trusting, there's a there's a there's a taxation system,
431
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.880
there's a financial system that comes, which is how we
432
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.160
know that the male is going to get from one
433
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:50.799
place to the other.
434
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:52.119
I mean, it's part of the global order.
435
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.160
I'm not saying we couldn't have it without that, but
436
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.880
a functional government post office is kind of the only
437
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.000
way we can ensure that certain things happen. Talking about
438
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.559
letters gets the palace in fact, right is because.
439
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.960
Which as to why though they would be in the way,
440
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:07.519
they're like, we gotta get, we gotta because this person
441
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.039
here Logan three six five six said going after mail
442
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:11.759
in votes.
443
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:17.960
I didn't think about that either, but yeah, it's another
444
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.440
piece of it. I understand that what we call neoliberal
445
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.240
is an ideology and a system that is going to
446
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:30.839
undermine the well being of a lot of everyday people.
447
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.880
When we say neoliberalism, we're talking about the market and
448
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.759
basically making everything open to the market. Nothing everything becomes
449
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.359
privatized when you have neoliberalism. Everything is about efficiency, which
450
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.799
doesn't sound bad, except everything can't be efficient. Efficient means
451
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.640
you have to cut people like sometimes you got like.
452
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.200
Efficiency is why you don't why you have all easy
453
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.960
pass and no toll booth operators, which seems cool when
454
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:54.240
you're driving down ninety five, doesn't seem cool when your
455
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.240
auntie doesn't have a job anymore. These are all things
456
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:00.680
that we see. Neoliberalism is about de skilling. So what
457
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:02.640
you do you automate and you do things so that
458
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.319
the labor that people do is no longer skilled labor.
459
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.359
And when it's de skilled, then all of a sudden,
460
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.759
you don't have to pick You see that on the
461
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:12.839
assembly line, where suddenly I don't have to know how
462
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:14.559
to build a car, I just have to I just
463
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.640
know how to stand in this one spot, yeahs one button,
464
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.440
or like on Roseanne when they were when they were
465
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:20.759
on the when they were all on the line back
466
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.559
in the cluney days, like that's what they were with
467
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:25.880
de skilled labor looks like. And they also do it
468
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.039
to teachers right when they try and give teachers scripts
469
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.960
and manuals and curriculum that's already designed and pre written.
470
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:33.480
You're de skilling.
471
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:37.799
Labor force. You you you exploit the labor force further.
472
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.440
So all of this is what's happening. And what better
473
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.079
way to de skill than through technology because everybody likes technology.
474
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.559
Everybody's like, well, shit, if I can get this faster,
475
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.720
you know, cheaper, et cetera, then I'll be okay.
476
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.799
But as Sonia saying, like, at what expense?
477
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.160
I never see, that's why you came on the show.
478
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:01.200
That's why this why my friends is small. Apparently they
479
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:05.640
in the lamestream media but they're smart. I don't know
480
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:07.720
if you noticed that. Someone said it's not your beauty,
481
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.279
it's your booty.
482
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:13.200
I can't see the comments, but that's funny.
483
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:16.039
No, you were saying something very serious and I posted
484
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:17.519
it up. How much long did we have with you? Do?
485
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:17.759
We have?
486
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.319
Three minutes?
487
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.680
Uh? Yeah, I can. I can do about five. I'm
488
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.680
my show start.
489
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.359
I'm although I was rejected from mainstream media. I'm here
490
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.799
at my weekly show and i'll zero front my international
491
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.559
show and we start in about twenty five minutes.
492
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:30.960
So I got to get to make up. But other
493
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:31.720
than that, I'll be good.
494
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:35.359
You have to get to make up.
495
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:37.960
I do. I'm a bad bitch.
496
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.279
I remember one time I was doing.
497
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.599
MTV and I was about to interview Llo cool J
498
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.960
and this when I was a host on MTV two, and.
499
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.279
Like I was just like on set waiting. I was like,
500
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:58.160
where is he's been here? So, like what are they?
501
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.480
What's going on? And they were like, he's getting make
502
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.640
up and I said, oh, he's in makeup.
503
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:09.279
Like that's I'm waiting for LLL because he's in makeup
504
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:13.319
and they were like yeah. And then I remembered that
505
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:16.279
the dressing rooms don't have ceilings and so.
506
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:17.039
He could hear.
507
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.480
My oh god shine.
508
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.079
Yes, he came out and he promptly licked his lips
509
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.599
and was like, you know, I just had to get
510
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.079
right for the camera. I had to get right for
511
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:40.960
the camera. I was like, true, all right, y'all.
512
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.640
So, actually I'll come back to this because I had
513
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.000
a real question for you, Mark Lamont Hill. Would you
514
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:55.640
go to London from New York via train in a
515
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.799
train made by young Elon Musk.
516
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.599
Who y'all not gonna like my answer? Yes?
517
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:07.759
Really?
518
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.000
Yeah, I mean I will want the.
519
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.759
Way cyberstrucks be falling apart.
520
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:14.880
Then things look wild. See, I thought they were asking
521
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.839
an ethical question. If you're asking a tech a tech
522
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:18.559
like a technicoy.
523
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.119
No, because he's saying that he can build that his
524
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:28.119
company can build the groundbreaking twenty billion dollar tunnel uh
525
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.000
in low and less time than everybody else.
526
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:35.119
Okay, that's a different question. Then I understood it.
527
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.559
That's a that's a no, no I would I thought
528
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:40.119
they were just saying, would you, like, would you use
529
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.039
a product that was supported by somebody like or created
530
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.559
by Elia Muslin? Like, well, every billionaire is awful. We
531
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:46.839
did' support products created by monsters. We wouldn't be able
532
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.599
to do anything. That's where I was going. But tech stuff,
533
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.839
you know, them self driving cars scare me. Uh, the
534
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.000
high end teslas scare me. That the really ugly one
535
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:57.279
that looks like a transformer thing.
536
00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:59.839
Oh yea y yeah, yeah yeah.
537
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:05.400
I And the reason why they haven't done the super
538
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.160
fast train is that what you just talked about. And
539
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.400
I don't want to be on the business end of
540
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:13.000
his mistakes, Like, especially when you start going over water.
541
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:14.279
It's one thing to go up and down the East
542
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.759
Coast and mess up, but going across water, I don't
543
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.240
want to be stuck.
544
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.440
No work, Well, they have to go under water, right,
545
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:23.799
So basically this I didn't even realize that this has
546
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:28.400
been in the works for years, this concept of building
547
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.559
this train. Chech billionaire Elon Musk has hinted at being
548
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.039
a part of it, and the idea is that it
549
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.279
could reduce the travel time between New York and London,
550
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:43.200
which is currently about six and a half hours on
551
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.880
a plane, that they could get you there in fifty
552
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:46.440
four minutes.
553
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.039
I mean that's look, it's impressive, but there's a reason
554
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:51.799
why people keep saying you can't do it.
555
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:54.960
Also, I don't want to travel anywhere that fast like
556
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.559
that feels like g force, don't.
557
00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.119
I don't need to get to London that fat. I mean,
558
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.920
I don't go to London any I'm okay getting there
559
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.559
in five hours.
560
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.519
So it says it would involve constructing a vast tunnel
561
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.559
beneath the Atlantic Ocean, spanning over three thousand miles.
562
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.519
Do you know how many people would die in this process?
563
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:15.839
So many? Like so many.
564
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.279
That's what scares me about it. It's like, there's no
565
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.440
way to do this effectively without killing a lot of people.
566
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.599
Speak of the Panama Canal.
567
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.240
How many people, like, so many people died building the
568
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.640
Panama Canal, Right, and I don't No one talks about that.
569
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:29.720
But that's a thing.
570
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.160
And that and that's and you're talking about undre Atlantic
571
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.759
oce you, I mean, that's a that's tech a technical hurdle,
572
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.119
architectural hurd There are all these things that have never
573
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:39.400
been I won't say considered before, but haven't been figured
574
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:42.480
out well before that you got to figure out. And
575
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.640
it's not like Eline and his friends are gonna be
576
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.079
the ones testing it out. They're gonna they're gonna pay
577
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:49.440
poor people. You know what I mean, poor people and
578
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.960
be like, hey, would you like to go to in London?
579
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.440
I got a great job for you. And that's how
580
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.559
it goes. And it's not gonna be until there's a
581
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.480
lot of losses and a lot of mistakes and a
582
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.880
lot of death. Uh that they figured this out. Now
583
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.119
again in the age of drones and robots, it won't
584
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.640
be all that. But there's a human cost to this.
585
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.880
There's always a human.
586
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:06.079
Cost to this.
587
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.279
Someone just said, imagine if you got stuck. I mean,
588
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.480
I just saw folks get stuck in the New York
589
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.039
City subway the other day. So I don't know what
590
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:17.640
what is the way that that would solve things? But
591
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.960
also like, we just don't There's so much that we
592
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.519
don't need and so much that we do need that
593
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:26.440
I don't know why.
594
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.839
We would do this right, Like, we can invest twenty
595
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:31.160
billion dollars.
596
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.319
And people can never be food hungry again. There would
597
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:35.599
never be food and security again.
598
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.960
Absolutely, I mean we could literally change the quality it
599
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.799
raise the standard of living for a significant slice of
600
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.240
the world's poor and certainly all of America's poor. With
601
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.000
with with like with twenty billion dollars. But it's like yeah,
602
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:51.960
or we could get the London really fast.
603
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.440
We got to connect the colonizers as quickly as possible.
604
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.640
Like that's essentially what it is. That's essentially what it is.
605
00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:59.319
Well, I know you have to go.
606
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.960
And people were like, I knew Mark would be your
607
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:05.319
first guest. I knew that Mark Lamaiel would be your
608
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.640
first guest. And you guys are right because this is
609
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.880
my very good friend. Is it anything that you would
610
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:11.200
like to tell the people before you go?
611
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:15.400
Nah? Just just support uh, just support you.
612
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.200
Uh.
613
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:21.359
This is such an important like platform and it's even
614
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:25.319
better now that it's not being policed by lamestream corporate media.
615
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:30.319
You know, it's even doper because you have complete editorial control.
616
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.599
People get more access to you, they get I mean,
617
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.599
this is so much to do, y'all. We always say
618
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.839
we want to support grassroots stuff, we want to support
619
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.400
independent stuff. It's not enough to just like to tell
620
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.480
we got to show. That means showing up. That means
621
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.240
given the views, but also investing in this thing. Man,
622
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.400
subscribe if you know on whether it's on YouTube with memberships,
623
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.000
whether it's on Patreon with the subscriptions, do it.
624
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.400
And when that's my second grade teacher. Wow.
625
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:05.119
Shout out to Sean Law Bowman. Y'all, miss miss law,
626
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.960
Miss law Bowman, thank you. That's so dope. Follow her
627
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.799

Y'all watch Night School every night. Uh, we're probably moving
630
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:18.799
to ten o'clock. I've been moving into ten lately because
631
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:22.119
of life. But like every night on uh on YouTube,
632
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.519
you can go to Night School. I cover a bunch
633
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:26.880
of stuff. It's less of a news program more of
634
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:28.599
like a global classroom. We cover stuff.
635
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.960
We dig deep into these issues. That's right.
636
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.359
Shop Uncle Bobby's if you got holiday stuff. We got
637
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:35.920
all kinds of stuff from the legend hoodies like Nipsey
638
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.920

friend in a lot of ways, not with birthdays.
646
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.160
That's why I did that. I'm just being petty, so

Yo.
685
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.039
I don't know if it's gonna work, but it was
686
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:06.079
worth it well either way.
687
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.400
Yo, y'all know what is shout out to Mark Wanta
688
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:11.320
Hill for joining us as my first.
689
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:13.480
At school.
690
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:19.320
Every every night, every night, every night around ten ten yep,
691
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.079
all right, ten pm here on the YouTube's where all
692
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:29.000
of us lame stream leftovers go to see our careers die.
693
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:29.599
Yeah.
694
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:38.480
But oh man, that was fun.
695
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:40.840
That was a fun time.
696
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:43.480
That was a fun time, y'all. That was a fun time.
697
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:48.679
So let's wrap up sixty second headlines and talk about
698
00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.840
this TikTok band.
699
00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.440
Y'all know this TikTok band is still.
700
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:53.920
In the mix.
701
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.159
I don't know if y'all know this, because I think
702
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.400
that sometimes we just there's so much going on that
703
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:02.199
we just like lose site of how real all of
704
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:02.599
this is.
705
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.000
So, the TikTok ban is going on, and.
706
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:13.239
The acl L, the ACLU has stepped in for the
707
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:17.880
TikTok ban, The American Subliberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
708
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.960
the eff and the Night First Amendment Institute at Columbia
709
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.360
University filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to
710
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.639
block the enforcement of a law that would effectively ban
711
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:35.280
people in America from using TikTok as soon as January nineteenth.
712
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:40.880
Can anyone tell me what is an amicus brief? Can
713
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:44.599
anyone tell me what is an amicus brief? What is
714
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:49.760
an amicus brief? We'll come back to that, because I
715
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:51.400
want to hear if you guys know what an amicus
716
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:54.480
brief is now. Earlier this month, the US Court of
717
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:58.639
Appeals for the DC Circuit rejected TikTok's challenge to the law.
718
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:04.119
Undeterred. TikTok then as the Supreme Court for a temporary
719
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:08.199
injunction to prevent the app from being banned while the
720
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:13.880
Court considers whether to take the case, saying that unless
721
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:18.119
the justices of the Supreme Court intervene, this law banning
722
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:23.599
TikTok will shudder one of America's most popular speech platforms
723
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:26.880
the day before presidential inauguration, because you know it's supposed
724
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:28.440
to shut down on the nineteenth.
725
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:35.599
Now, this anarchus brief argues that the DC Circuit District
726
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:41.679
Court of Appeals failed to fully address the law's profound
727
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:45.199
implications for the First Amendment rights of one hundred and
728
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:47.480
seventy million Americans who used TikTok.
729
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.760
I thought this was also interesting.
730
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.840
The court also perplexingly made an attempt to use this
731
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.440
government ban on TikTok as like a vindication of users
732
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:02.320
First Amendments. So what they're saying, of course, if you
733
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.920
many of you all know this, but I will say
734
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:08.159
it again, the TikTok ban they're saying is related to
735
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.719
this idea that China has control of our information, of
736
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.960
Americans information and that that is dangerous for Americans. But
737
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.320
what they're going to do is they're saying that they
738
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.559
have to sell it to an American company so that
739
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.800
the American company.
740
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:23.719
Can have access.
741
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:26.119
Like, at the end of the day, no one should
742
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.920
have access to our information outside of the space that
743
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:33.679
we gave it to. And ultimately, if they do have
744
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.039
access to our information, then what are.
745
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.559
They afraid that China is going to do with that?
746
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:39.719
I don't know.
747
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:44.440
I don't know, but just let's get to the amicus
748
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:47.320
brief answer. But before I do that, actually I want
749
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:53.320
to let y'all know this very important caveat users who
750
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:56.400
have TikTok downloaded on their devices.
751
00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:58.400
Y'all listening? Are y'all listening?
752
00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:03.880
Users who have TikTok downloaded on their devices would still
753
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.119
be able to use the app, but banning TikTok from
754
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:14.599
app stores would prohibit future software updates. Okay, So if
755
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.519
by Dance sells the TikTok, if they manage to sell
756
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:20.280
TikTok before January nineteenth, it will remain available in the US.
757
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.480
Otherwise, we're not really sure what happens. Okay.
758
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.639
So I asked you what is an amicus brief? So
759
00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:31.079
Nocera says, an amicus brief or friend of the court
760
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:34.960
brief is a legal document filed by a person or
761
00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:39.400
organization is not a party to lawsuit but has an
762
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:41.079
interest in the case.
763
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:43.280
So she's correct.
764
00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:52.159
So amicus briefs can serve many purposes, including providing historical
765
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:58.199
context or technical assistance, endorsing a party, addressing policy issues,
766
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:02.920
supplementing or bolstering parties brief and I'm mitigating or expanding
767
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.079
the effects of a prior court opinion. So basically, what
768
00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:09.239
an amicus brief is is like, let's say you, and
769
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.719
somebody else is arguing, right, and you like, yo, I'm
770
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.440
trying to tell you that this is what it is.
771
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.360
And then the other person is like, well, I haven't
772
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.000
made you know, I have to make a judgment on
773
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.960
if this is really what it is because it feels
774
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:28.280
like you're not really being upfront or whatever whatever.
775
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:32.159
And then your man's comes in as the anarchist, So
776
00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:35.559
your man's name is Amkis and Amicus comes in and
777
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:40.039
it's like whoa, whoa. See, maybe maybe you didn't.
778
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:44.639
Realize, but what she's saying is really important to this
779
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:47.639
other thing over here that you may not have thought of.
780
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:52.480
So I just wanted to add some additional information to
781
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:53.320
what she's.
782
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.559
Saying because it feels like if I don't, then you
783
00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:00.639
gonna make a judgment that's not really a full context
784
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:04.000
of the whole vision. So you know, that's why it's
785
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:06.239
a friend of the court, because like, I'm not even
786
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:07.880
I'm not it's not even like I'm trying.
787
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.199
To ride with her. I'm really I'm really trying to
788
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:12.719
ride with you so that you don't be out here
789
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:17.760
looking oh my god, what is this happening.
790
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:22.760
That's an amicus brief, Okay, so that's an amicus brief.
791
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:30.039
So now you know, all right, well we have another
792
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:31.679
guest coming on the show.
793
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.079
Wow wow wow.
794
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:36.960
But you know what, we still got some time. So
795
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:42.039
why don't we get into our our word of the day.
796
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.039
Did you think I forgot it? Did you think that
797
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.840
I forgot our word of the day, because I didn't.
798
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:50.000
I didn't.
799
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:56.880
The word of the day is salubrious. The word of
800
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:02.880
the day is salubrious. It's an adjective meaning healthy, or
801
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:10.599
it can mean a place that's not run down, salubrious, salubrious.
802
00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:19.679
Does anybody have a sentence for salubrious? Does anyone have
803
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:25.199
a sentence for salubrious? You got to use it in
804
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:25.920
a sentence.
805
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:39.199
Salubrious means healthy and pleasant, not run down. Healthy and pleasant,
806
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:43.840
not run down, salubrious. Anybody have a sentence for salubrious?
807
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:48.079
Rich Verma says, I'm not living a salubrious life, even
808
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:49.199
though I'm in therapy.
809
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:52.280
Well, you being healthy for your mind even though it's
810
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.280
not even if you're not being healthy for your body
811
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:54.639
right now?
812
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:57.440
So I hear you, I hear you. Shout out to Ricky.
813
00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:59.960
Ricky said, my new home is salubrious. Your new home
814
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.199
better be pleasant and not run down. Okay, uh luce,
815
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:06.480
doqu said.
816
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:12.039
That garden, that beautiful garden is really salubrious, really salubrious.
817
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:20.199
Yes, let's see. Jennifer s says I have salubrious goals for.
818
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:20.920
Twenty twenty five.
819
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:21.239
I'm not.
820
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:28.760
Yes accurate. I'm not sure if that's an accurate way
821
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.920
to use it, because I have healthy goal Well yeah, no, no, no, yeah,
822
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.119
I have healthy goals for twenty twenty five. I correct
823
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.239
sam Me, Sorry, sorry, I stay corrected. That is an
824
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:39.400
actual way to use a sentence. Let's get one more.
825
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.960
Let's get one more. I need to be sure to
826
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:46.119
go to bed on time so that I am salubrious.
827
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:47.360
Okay.
828
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:51.480
So this I don't think is accurate because when it's
829
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:55.320
referring to someplace being pleasant or not run down, it's
830
00:45:55.360 --> 00:46:00.639
referring to a place, not a person. So just remember
831
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:06.320
that caveat. Remember that caveat. Okay, remember that caveat. And
832
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:14.039
also remember that we have to use these words in
833
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:16.920
our lives. So don't just sit up here y'all and
834
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:20.199
only use the words right right here. We need to
835
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:21.079
use them in our lives.
836
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:23.360
That's why we do this. But you know what else
837
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:25.599
we do we have gays.
838
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:43.079
I wasn't ready.
839
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:44.679
I was ready.
840
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:47.280
Oh man, I wasn't.
841
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.119
I was busy looking up salubrious.
842
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:59.199
I was busy looking salubrious. Miss Skill look very salubrious.
843
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:03.559
Well, I am feeling salubrious because I'm in the presence
844
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:05.239
of someone who was so salubrious.
845
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:07.559
Oh, stop.
846
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.599
Using it twice. You're the first for the first time
847
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:16.199
in my life ever and twice.
848
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.719
That's how you committed to memory, though, That's how you
849
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.679
commit it to memory.
850
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:25.400
We have doctor Connie. One of AAPI women. Is it
851
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:26.079
one or one?
852
00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:30.400
It's one, It's one, Okay, of aa PI women lead
853
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:30.960
here today.
854
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:33.079
Now I have made it abundantly.
855
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:36.719
Clear to these people on the show that yes, my
856
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:38.760
shows are always going to be through a black lens,
857
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:42.000
but it's always going to have a global perspective. And
858
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:48.400
so it is imperative, it is imperative that we involve everybody.
859
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.840
Well who has common sense and you are deaf.
860
00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:53.920
That's you.
861
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:56.360
That's you, girl, that's you.
862
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.480
So I want to let people know, well, first of all,
863
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:03.280
who don't know about AAPI women lead, can you please
864
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.280
put them on to what y'all do, the work that
865
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.280
y'all do. And then also tell them about what you
866
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:14.960
are doing next, because I'm on the newsletter and I
867
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:18.199
was like, oh, they're doing things that people need to
868
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:18.679
know about.
869
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:21.360
Thank you so much, no doubt, thank you, thank you
870
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.960
so thanks for having me on your amazing, salubrious show.
871
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:27.639
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
872
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:28.360
I'm trying.
873
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:29.199
I'm trying.
874
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:31.119
You don't even need to try. The rest of the
875
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:34.280
world needs to catch up. Here we are right catching up.
876
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.280
So thank you. And then to tell you a little
877
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:40.679
bit about AAPO Women Lead.
878
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:45.119
We're an organization that works to end gender violence against
879
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:49.880
Asian Native, Hawaiian Pacific islenger, women, girls, non binary communities
880
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:53.840
in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and other communities of color.
881
00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.280
And we're one of the only organizations that work to
882
00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:00.920
end violence through a holistic approach. And what I mean
883
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.880
by holistic approach is we host and hold storytelling, research,
884
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.239
data analysis, all from the community's perspective. It's community centered,
885
00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:16.800
it's survivor driven, right, So all of our research and
886
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.639
all of our stories are from our survivors through our
887
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:23.880
survivor's lens, and that helps to reclaim and also amplify
888
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:25.039
the power of survivors.
889
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:25.400
Right.
890
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:27.960
And as our survivors tell their stories for the whole
891
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.719
world because most people don't know anything around A and
892
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.400
HPI communities. Right, we also want to make sure that
893
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:40.039
they're taken care of, so we fund our researchers, our storytellers, right,
894
00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:43.760
livabole wages, and then we also provide healing wellness workshops
895
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:46.760
throughout the year, so we've every year we give about
896
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:54.000
thirty some trainings around acupuncture, acupressure, community defense, tai chi,
897
00:49:55.320 --> 00:49:58.679
intuitive healing, so we reclaim our healing and wellness practices.
898
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:01.880
And then we we also hosts a lot of mutual
899
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:05.199
aid projects. We partner with a lot of organizations across
900
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:09.280
the US and its territories for the purposes of again
901
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:11.920
ending violence and insolidarity with our communities.
902
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:14.599
And just like last week, we worked with Fabletics.
903
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:21.639
Fabletics donated about fifteen hundred articles of clothing.
904
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:22.679
And shoes for children.
905
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.519
So we went here in the Bay Area where we're headquartered,
906
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:30.559
we have we went to six different cities and distributed
907
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.199
all these clothes different organizations. Actually people on the street,
908
00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:36.519
we were like, do you need clothes? You know, yeah,
909
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.360
to make sure exactly. So that's the work that Apomly
910
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:43.559
does and again, you know, we do this work largely
911
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:46.079
because people don't know what's going on with us. They
912
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:48.719
actually don't think that we're survivors of any sort. But
913
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:50.360
then I also want to say, how do you.
914
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:53.159
See that speak to that, because I really feel like
915
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:57.239
that's a real thing that a lot of people don't know.
916
00:50:59.000 --> 00:50:59.719
Or don't care.
917
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:04.320
But like, I think there's been a real silencing of
918
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:08.360
Asian women as survivors. It's almost as if this idea
919
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:10.559
that like no, like Asian women are you know, we
920
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:12.880
always talk about this idea that Asian women are docile,
921
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.440
but then you see things like the comfort women in Japan,
922
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:20.119
you know, you you learn about I mean think about
923
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:22.159
we were talking about on my podcast which hasn't come
924
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:26.119
out yet, but about Saigon, you know, and during the
925
00:51:26.199 --> 00:51:29.079
Vietnam War, like how much violence was taking place there.
926
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.679
So can you just speak to more about also like
927
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:35.039
the sex trafficking, the way that this is a real
928
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:39.039
this is not this is uniquely an there's a unique
929
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.119
experience that's happening in Asia around this, which is what
930
00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:43.400
calls for the necessity for AAPI women lead.
931
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:45.840
So I would say that it's a part of our
932
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.800
history both over you know, in our families, in our
933
00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:51.159
families homelands here and here in the United States.
934
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:55.719
So just to be clear, for Asian women here in.
935
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.280
The United States, it's up to about sixty percent of
936
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:02.480
our women girl have experienced some form of gender violence.
937
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:05.039
And then when you talk about our Pacific Islander women
938
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:08.599
and girls and non binary communities, which is distinctly different
939
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:11.719
from Asians, our Pacific Islanders also have a high rate
940
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.199
up to sixty to seventy percent of experiences of gender violence.
941
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:18.840
That's here in the United States and in the territories. Right,
942
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:21.880
But you also don't account for how we experienced it,
943
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:26.519
the violence through US war, US imperialism. Right, So you
944
00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:30.639
were talking about comfort women, you were you know, I
945
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:33.360
can talk about you know, what happened during the Vietnam
946
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:38.519
War and how many of our women were assaulted, killed, right,
947
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:43.920
comfort women in South South Korea, thank you, and across Cambodia.
948
00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:45.880
Now, right, So we're being.
949
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:53.960
Kind of we are being violated and experienced violence in
950
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:57.639
our homelands through US imperialism and p.
951
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:03.199
And then we come here because.
952
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:05.079
We're not indigenous to this land, and I you know,
953
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:07.880
honor that that we are, you know, guests here in
954
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:12.880
this land. And we experience gender violence here and for
955
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:17.000
some stange reason here in someone else's. I was gonna
956
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:20.840
call it your country, but in your country.
957
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:22.119
It ain't mine, you know what I mean.
958
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:26.800
It's like people assume that people who look like me
959
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:31.280
and Pacific Islanders are unscathed and don't experience any form
960
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:31.880
of violence.
961
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:33.039
And a part of me wants to be.
962
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:36.960
Like, how'd you think we got here? Mm hmm that
963
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:42.000
part why would we want to just be here? And then,
964
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.239
you know what I'm saying, like an enter a war
965
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:48.239
against black people, a war against indigenous people. We already
966
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:50.679
went through war, you know what I'm saying, And so
967
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.960
I think what needs to be highlighted. And what ap
968
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:57.599
womanly does is highlight the violence that we've experienced. And
969
00:53:57.719 --> 00:53:59.199
we don't do it in a way where it's like
970
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:02.000
pick you know, us against anybody. We're saying, actually, it's
971
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:05.679
in relationship to black women, black trans peoples, it's in
972
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:08.719
relationships indigenous women, indigenous peoples.
973
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:09.079
Right.
974
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:12.760
Actually, the US has a history of assaulting all of
975
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:14.480
our populations across the globe.
976
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:21.480
So we're entering that violence chat and saying, yo, let's chat.
977
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.280
They do this to us too, and.
978
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:27.199
It's a reminder to our communities. They've done it to
979
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.440
you too, and they continue it to do it also.
980
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:33.480
So we have to figure out a way to be
981
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:36.880
in conversation with each other and also to strategize on
982
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:40.320
how we can work in solidarity and in community with
983
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:47.039
each other across these different geographic, racial and ethnic assault lines.
984
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.440
Can you tell us about the project that you guys
985
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:55.039
are working on that you just got into a new
986
00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:57.719
phase of the real.
987
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.119
The real life, the real.
988
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:06.400
Ooh, I like the real Lab. We just we called
989
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:07.159
it institute.
990
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:12.760
But don't don't worry what fly its flab not as
991
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:16.960
it's not so we may need a credit you or
992
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:17.880
a rebrand.
993
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:20.119
The real Lab.
994
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:21.199
I love it.
995
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:25.519
So what we are working on is the Real Lab
996
00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:31.199
slash Institute, which is an acronym for research education for
997
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:32.559
advocacy and liberation.
998
00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:38.800
Research education for advocacy and literation, I mean and liberation.
999
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.039
Oh we love that, Thank you, thank you so much.
1000
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:46.519
So we are fundraising a million dollars a year up
1001
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:51.079
to twenty thirty to launch the only research and education
1002
00:55:51.679 --> 00:56:02.159
storytelling lab that works to end violence again, but that
1003
00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:05.639
works to en violence against our communities. And in this sense,
1004
00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:10.519
we at the Real Institute. One of the things that
1005
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:16.559
we do is partner with community organizations across the US
1006
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:20.559
and its territories. In the past two years, we partnered
1007
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:29.199
with six different organizations in Wisconsin, American Samoa, Hawaii, Massachusetts, California. Right,
1008
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:33.239
And all of these researchers or storytellers were trained by
1009
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:38.320
our academic researchers, our community experts to learn how to storytell,
1010
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:42.920
to learn how to collect data, to analyze data. Right,
1011
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:46.719
and it became the first study of its kind that
1012
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:50.400
is community driven and survivor centered to tell the accurate
1013
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:53.440
stories about what our communities are experiencing. So we had
1014
00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:59.599
mong women, Samoan women, we had Native Hawaiian women. All
1015
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.360
of these folks were saying, actually, the climate crisis is
1016
00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:06.960
gender violence. They were saying, colonization is gender violence.
1017
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:07.400
Right.
1018
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.119
They were saying, all of these things lead to gender
1019
00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:13.800
violence in our communities. So the Real Institute wants to
1020
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:16.880
create and if people help to fund us, we're going
1021
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:20.039
to create more cohorts of this kind so that we
1022
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.639
can reach the South, so that we can reach Guam,
1023
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:26.920
so that we can reach other Pacific Islander territories, so
1024
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.280
that we can reach the Pacific Northwest. So the Real
1025
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:34.519
Institute helps us to host these cohorts of storytellers that
1026
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.280
are from the community. Most of them have not had
1027
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.440
any experience doing traditional research, right, so that's what we do.
1028
00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:47.079
The Real Institute also collects first person surveys, narratives. We
1029
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:51.880
just got some data and a story around Korean adoptees, yeah,
1030
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:56.159
and the violence that they have experienced, right, so that
1031
00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:58.679
stories that we want to promote and share as a
1032
00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:02.679
part of the educational trainings. And then of course we
1033
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:04.639
want to be able to host trainings, not just do
1034
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:09.360
the research, but host trainings around our histories and around
1035
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:13.599
the data that we've collected, right, so that everybody knows what's.
1036
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:14.159
Really going on.
1037
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:17.119
Especially with this new administration, they're not going to care.
1038
00:58:18.119 --> 00:58:23.079
So we're taking a grassroots approach to everybody invest in us,
1039
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:25.880
tell invest in our stories, so that we can tell
1040
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:27.840
the truth about what this country has done to us.
1041
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:32.280
This is going to be it's not like rhetorical, but
1042
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.159
it's just that I feel like we always have to
1043
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:35.000
repeat this.
1044
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:40.920
Why Why is it so important that our stories get told?
1045
00:58:47.039 --> 00:58:49.440
So there's a couple of thoughts that I have and
1046
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:55.400
I'm going to keep it real honest with you. Right, Oh,
1047
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.800
I'm sorry. So one of the reasons I think this
1048
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:01.920
is important that AAP women need just came on the
1049
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:02.840
heels of.
1050
00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:06.599
Did you disappear? Because I I'm like, is it just
1051
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:07.159
me on here?
1052
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:10.280
Yeah, it's just getting you was locking in, and so
1053
00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:11.480
I said, let me give it to her.
1054
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:14.239
Well, there's a couple of things.
1055
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.800
One is that AA Poman need as an example of
1056
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:22.880
what other women of color, black indigenous communities of color experience.
1057
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:25.760
We just came on the heels of some death threats,
1058
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:32.599
and since our inception, we've experienced sexual assault, threats in
1059
00:59:32.719 --> 00:59:38.360
my dms, hate mail, and then postal mail. Right, And
1060
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:40.960
if we don't tell our stories, we're going to become
1061
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:47.320
continuous victims and survivors of violence without anyone being able
1062
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.800
to resource us or no one you know, showing up
1063
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:52.760
to resource us. In fact, I think because people don't
1064
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.559
know our stories, we become more vulnerable to violence.
1065
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:56.599
That's number one.
1066
00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:00.159
Number two is that I think it's very important for
1067
01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:02.280
us to tell our stories so that we can identify
1068
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:05.840
the commonalities and then we can also identify ways we
1069
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.639
can be accountable to each other. Right. So the first
1070
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:10.840
reason I'll say it again. The reason why we need
1071
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:14.320
to tell our stories is so that we are not alone, alienated,
1072
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:17.760
and made vulnerable to violence, right because I'm tired of
1073
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.039
the death threat, I'm tired of the sexual harassment.
1074
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:21.079
I'm tired of people.
1075
01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:24.400
Sliding into our dms, emailing me right and even showing
1076
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:28.440
up at this show perhaps threatening us after this. I'm
1077
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:30.599
tired of us being alone in that. And so we
1078
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:32.960
need to tell our stories so that people know we're
1079
01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:36.679
not alone. And then the second thing is that I
1080
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.159
think we need to be resourced in our stories. And
1081
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:40.960
then I want us to be able to tell our
1082
01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:43.719
stories so that we actually are able to work together
1083
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:48.159
to identify the commonalities and then to also identify ways
1084
01:00:48.199 --> 01:00:49.599
we can get accountable.
1085
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:49.480
To each other.
1086
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:51.679
And the third reason we need to tell the stories,
1087
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:53.880
which is related to the first reason, is because we
1088
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:57.119
need to tell the truth, and we need the truth
1089
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.559
to be heard. Our facts and our stories have to
1090
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:03.360
be told so that those who are you know the
1091
01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:10.199
powers that be, including patriarchy, racism, anti blackness, white supremacy, xenophobia, misogyny,
1092
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:14.559
all these structures are exposed for who and what they are,
1093
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:17.960
and that people stop buying into these structures. As long
1094
01:01:18.039 --> 01:01:20.559
as we can tell our stories and affirm and be
1095
01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:23.320
powerful in our stories, it's a part of the takedown.
1096
01:01:24.679 --> 01:01:26.159
It's a part of the takedown because we're not going
1097
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:28.519
to be invisible, we're not hiding ourselves, and we're going
1098
01:01:28.599 --> 01:01:31.079
to tell you who are the perpetrators that we're here
1099
01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:34.239
and we're not cowering, and we're fighting back, and a
1100
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:36.760
whole new world is coming based on our stories.
1101
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:39.800
So I think those are the few reasons.
1102
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:51.400
Not let me just think about it. If I have
1103
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:58.000
something and then delivering an entire monologue, a soliloquy of
1104
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:04.360
concise necessity, you know, and that to me is what
1105
01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:09.119
you just named is that's like a copy and paste
1106
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:09.840
for all of us.
1107
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:13.880
Right, That's why this human experience, when you see the
1108
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:17.320
effort to silence people, you understand that there must be
1109
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:20.559
something very powerful here in our stories if they're making
1110
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.920
it so a part of there.
1111
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:26.199
And when I say they, at this point, I decided
1112
01:02:26.239 --> 01:02:29.039
that there's like humans and then there's just like alien
1113
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:31.559
forces that are because I don't understand.
1114
01:02:32.599 --> 01:02:36.360
I just I'm like, y'all are so dedicated to hurting people.
1115
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:39.320
That we must not be people. That's really what I've decided.
1116
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:41.679
So I'm very close to being part of these lizard
1117
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.679
the Lizard people community because.
1118
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:44.880
I'm just like, who are y'all?
1119
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:47.320
You know, because I want to say one other thing,
1120
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:50.400
just real quickly, and I think this is important, which
1121
01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:53.440
is that? And I'll say this to your to your audience, right,
1122
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:56.639
because I know that your focus is on black liberation
1123
01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:58.199
and what I think.
1124
01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:01.559
That's yes, absolute, my focus.
1125
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:04.920
It was, My focus is on liberation.
1126
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:07.960
Okay, that's fine. I'm saying I'm here for that.
1127
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:09.320
That's my experience.
1128
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:10.679
No, no, no, and I'm okay with that.
1129
01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:13.199
I'm saying, as a Vietnamese woman, I'm also here for
1130
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:13.920
black liberation.
1131
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:16.679
We should be here for everybody liberation, right.
1132
01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:19.519
And the reason why I'm saying that is because I
1133
01:03:19.639 --> 01:03:23.199
also recognize the ways that people don't understand that not
1134
01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:26.199
only are our struggles you know, connected, but that we
1135
01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:28.119
are responsible for each other.
1136
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:31.119
Right. That was my point. My point is that we
1137
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:33.639
are responsible for each other. So I'm glad that.
1138
01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:37.679
You are here for my liberation, for Palestinian liberation, for
1139
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:41.039
all oppressed peoples. But I'm saying that I'm also here
1140
01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:47.199
for your liberation, black liberation, women's liberation, queer people's liberation, transliberation, right,
1141
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:49.440
And that's the commitment we actually have to have to
1142
01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:52.239
each other if we want to survive this place, which
1143
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:54.320
also means we don't get to weaponize things.
1144
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:54.559
Right.
1145
01:03:54.719 --> 01:03:56.840
I'm watching Asian people do things that I'm like, Yo,
1146
01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:58.880
that's racist, folks, you know I.
1147
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:00.480
Mean, and you don't get to do that. You can't
1148
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:00.760
do that.
1149
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:04.719
You have an obligation as well to black people, indigenous people,
1150
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:07.440
as much as I say, I have an obligation, right.
1151
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:11.199
So I say this to you on your show because
1152
01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:15.079
I know how responsible you are. I also know how
1153
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:18.239
much you've been what you've been going through. I know
1154
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:22.880
your commitments. I see you in your bravery, I see
1155
01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:27.280
you in your like courage, right, and I want to
1156
01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:29.639
say that I honor you and I respect you so
1157
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:30.360
much for this.
1158
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:31.559
Thank you.
1159
01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:35.199
It is not easy, you know, and everybody needs to
1160
01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:37.800
be able to show up in the ways that you have,
1161
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:40.400
in the ways that I believe that I am committed
1162
01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.000
to doing. And anybody who weaponizes our struggles against each
1163
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:45.679
other can kick rocks.
1164
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:50.119
That's it.
1165
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:51.519
That's it.
1166
01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:56.320

01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:03.199
It's misogyny, right, they're misogynists. There's death threats, there's sexual
1188
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:05.360
harassment threats, there's sexual violence.
1189
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.360
Y'all for doing oh?
1190
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:11.440
Because this is the thing to me at this point,
1191
01:06:11.480 --> 01:06:16.599
I'm like, how do you have the time to come
1192
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:19.880
bother us for talking about our experiences?
1193
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:23.480
Because I know you got some some some people coming
1194
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:28.440
at you like where where's the time. Yeah, they're they're.
1195
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.920
Mad that you're talking about the ways in which America
1196
01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:39.079
and the imperialist, the imperialist uh praxis has has harmed you.
1197
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:40.559
Like that's what they're mad about.
1198
01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:43.920
Uh No, there's a couple of things. What can I
1199
01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:45.760
do with a quick thing on a A P I
1200
01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:48.239
women W E N L E A.
1201
01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:52.760
D oh yes, no, apologies.
1202
01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:59.000
They're mad that we're actually telling our stories abound gender violence.
1203
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.760
That's one. The other one that's been really hard.
1204
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:10.159
They've been mad that our work in solidarity with black
1205
01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:11.800
communities and indigenous communities.
1206
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:15.960
So white supremacists have come for us.
1207
01:07:17.000 --> 01:07:21.559
Conservative Asian men have come for us, Black male reactionaries
1208
01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:22.280
have come for us.
1209
01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.320
Reactionaries. What's the reactionaries?
1210
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:28.320
Is that the same as salubrious?
1211
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:31.519
No, it's not, because reactionaries makes me feel like I
1212
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:34.119
need to put this so I wouldn't even do that
1213
01:07:34.840 --> 01:07:37.679
coerhaps No, I wouldn't even do that.
1214
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:40.199
I would be humble enough to even not even I'm like,
1215
01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:42.760
that's not a conversation. But what I would say is
1216
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:45.960
that like the folks who come for us will say
1217
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:50.280
things like will not see the ways that we're trying
1218
01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:54.440
to both be accountable right and be in relationship with
1219
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:58.239
black people because we've always been right. And so I
1220
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:01.719
say the reactionaries were few. Who's that existence, right? That's
1221
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:04.840
number one, and the number two. They want to weaponize
1222
01:08:05.559 --> 01:08:09.559
racism in ways where they're just like they come for
1223
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:11.840
us in a way where you know, some people will
1224
01:08:11.880 --> 01:08:14.400
say your community is anti black, and so you deserve
1225
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:15.000
to get raped.
1226
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:32.359
I don't, I don't know, I never I actually the
1227
01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:36.079
use of rape casually was something that I first started
1228
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:40.680
seeing in terms of language with Zios. Like I've had
1229
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:43.279
people tell me that before, but just like it's become
1230
01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.119
now like a thing that I think folks are just
1231
01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:46.399
really casual about.
1232
01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:50.359
And and you know, we look in other nations.
1233
01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:52.199
We look in the Congo, we look in Sudan, and
1234
01:08:52.279 --> 01:08:56.359
we're hearing stories about rape being used as a weapon
1235
01:08:56.399 --> 01:09:00.359
of war, right, being used as an act of violence,
1236
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:00.840
and so.
1237
01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:03.560
We know that like when people say things like this,
1238
01:09:04.239 --> 01:09:05.880
it's not casual.
1239
01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:09.199
It's not like, oh, you know, I hope you get
1240
01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:11.560
slapped in the face, Like, no, this is something that
1241
01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:18.079
you are very clearly asserting as violence and violence in
1242
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:21.840
the same way as taking your life, if not worse.
1243
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:23.520
I think there's a certain I think they actually mean
1244
01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:24.199
it in a worse way.
1245
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:27.039
They like, wanting someone to be raped is worse than
1246
01:09:27.119 --> 01:09:29.760
wanting to someone die. Wanting someone to die, well.
1247
01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:33.319
I'd have to say we've gotten both, right, so right.
1248
01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:37.199
I hate that you said same, right. So that's why
1249
01:09:37.239 --> 01:09:39.560
I'm saying it's reactionary because you're not here for liberation.
1250
01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:42.279
You're here for yourself. You're here to get your knocks off.
1251
01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:45.239
You're not here to free anybody, you know what I mean.
1252
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:48.199
You're here to use what is such an important movement
1253
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:52.520
and politics and weaponize it for your own gratification. Just
1254
01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:55.720
say that, say that, Say that it's about you and
1255
01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:59.720
you're twisted ways in your pathologies, right, Say it's for yourself.
1256
01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:04.399
Don't say it's on behalf of any liberation. And that's
1257
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.720
why I say it's reactionary because you're not doing it
1258
01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:09.880
for liberation, no, you know. And to say that you're
1259
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:15.880
threatening rape, death, violence against people who are already vulnerable,
1260
01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:16.920
you're a punk.
1261
01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:21.319
Just own that you're a punk and you're.
1262
01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:24.479
Coming after people who don't have the abilities to structurally
1263
01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:29.359
fight back. Instead of like thinking through perhaps like where
1264
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.239
this rage is coming from, how to hold people accountable?
1265
01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:36.520
You want to further the violence. Nah, dude, you might
1266
01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:39.079
as well be the man and not even the man.
1267
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:40.880
You might as well just be a white man, be
1268
01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:41.840
friends with Donald Trump.
1269
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:43.800
Just say that. Just say, me and Donald we want
1270
01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:44.199
to kick it.
1271
01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:46.880
Me and him are bessies. Don't front like you're doing
1272
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:51.079
anything that's liberatory. And clearly I'm pissed because.
1273
01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:54.600
Well, let me tell you that the comedian and me
1274
01:10:54.760 --> 01:10:59.000
has to point out that you have doctor Connie Boyce
1275
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:03.880
and you have have the Bay Voice, and doctor Connie
1276
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:06.199
will speak to us and say so, I want us
1277
01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:09.720
to discuss the ways in which we are asserting ourselves
1278
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:12.159
and our voices. I want us to point out the
1279
01:11:12.279 --> 01:11:15.840
necessity for us to really illuminate our experiences.
1280
01:11:16.520 --> 01:11:17.079
And then.
1281
01:11:19.479 --> 01:11:22.279
The Bay Area Connie one is like, yo, for real,
1282
01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:26.319
Like for real, just go hang with your man's Like
1283
01:11:26.439 --> 01:11:28.279
why are we even why are we even doing this?
1284
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:32.159
You're wasting everybody time, Like I'm good to see you,
1285
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:33.560
good to see it.
1286
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:35.720
This is this is I'm not even playing y'all. You're
1287
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:36.840
playing in our faces.
1288
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:38.239
And I don't like it.
1289
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:39.359
I don't like it.
1290
01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:43.960
And I love that. I love that duality.
1291
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:45.119
Love.
1292
01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:47.680
I'll rob a bank with you any day. I like God,
1293
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:48.359
I love that.
1294
01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.520
That's like the best compliment.
1295
01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:53.960
Any day.
1296
01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:56.159
And I'm humbled. I am very humbled for you to
1297
01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:59.199
do that, because I know you wouldn't do that with everybody.
1298
01:11:59.319 --> 01:11:59.960
That is correct.
1299
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:05.520
That is correct, doctor Connie. Thank you so much for
1300
01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.600
joining us the people. The people here feel so enriched
1301
01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:14.239
and informed, and I really think that it's really important
1302
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:19.640
that people like you continue to be platformed because also,
1303
01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:22.840
you know, I don't think people really understand that there
1304
01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:25.720
are folks like yourself who are standing in the gap,
1305
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:28.159
who are saying we have to be responsible.
1306
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:33.239
It's just it's it's not nothing is a plane picture, y'all.
1307
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:35.680
So shout out to doctor Connie one you.
1308
01:12:37.760 --> 01:12:41.479
Need as well as as a PIWL dot org and
1309
01:12:41.920 --> 01:12:44.840
look out for our Small Doses episode coming soon.
1310
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:45.520
Wow.
1311
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:47.800
Thank you so much, thank you, Thank you.
1312
01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:50.920
All right, y'all.
1313
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:54.920
Question for Amanda, why do you pretend to be FBA
1314
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:57.600
when neither of your parents are American? You can't just
1315
01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:00.840
study someone's history, adopted and claim it as your own.
1316
01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:05.199
I think this is hilarious when people say things like
1317
01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:10.479
this because I literally am the descendant of shadow slavery
1318
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:16.439
in the United States. I literally had a genealogist check,
1319
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.359
go through and do all the work set out to
1320
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:27.560
Kimberly Renee, I'm actually, unfortunately the descendant of Robert E.
1321
01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:27.920
Lee.
1322
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:28.640
Possibly.
1323
01:13:28.880 --> 01:13:34.000
But since you Jifiah Oh three, are so confident, you
1324
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:36.319
owe my ancestors an apology.
1325
01:13:38.359 --> 01:13:39.399
You owe my ancestors.
1326
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:45.479
You owe my great great great grandmother, whose slave owner's
1327
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:50.880
name is on her the birth certificate for her and
1328
01:13:51.880 --> 01:13:54.520
nine other of his slaves that year.
1329
01:13:56.479 --> 01:14:04.000
Their children owe her an apology. You owe everybody in
1330
01:14:04.079 --> 01:14:08.920
here an apology for coming in here with this nonsense.
1331
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:18.680
You owe yourself an apology for creating division based on
1332
01:14:18.840 --> 01:14:22.640
the same mandates as the oppressor you claim to be
1333
01:14:22.760 --> 01:14:26.439
wanting liberation from JIFFI get on out.
1334
01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:40.439
Of here, a mess, a mess mmmmm, and let me
1335
01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:40.760
tell you.
1336
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:44.960
Do not tell me what to do. Do not tell
1337
01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:48.720
me what to do. I know why I do what
1338
01:14:48.880 --> 01:14:51.640
I do. I know why I say what I say.
1339
01:14:52.239 --> 01:14:53.359
I know why I give.
1340
01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:58.239
Certain things attention. So please understand that I do not
1341
01:14:58.359 --> 01:15:01.239
need you to produce me. I don't need any of
1342
01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:03.920
you all to produce me. I am really, really, really
1343
01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:09.760
skilled at what I'm doing. Okay, all right, that was incredible.
1344
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:13.199
Shout out to Doctor Connie One. Remember you see it
1345
01:15:13.279 --> 01:15:16.119

01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:22.560
So that's how you can check in on that. That's
1348
01:15:22.560 --> 01:15:23.640
how you can check in on that.
1349
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:28.039
Well, I was gonna unveil a new segment today, but
1350
01:15:28.199 --> 01:15:29.479
I'm gonna save it from Monday.
1351
01:15:30.119 --> 01:15:32.279
Uh And uh we really.
1352
01:15:32.039 --> 01:15:33.920
Because I mean sometimes it's just like there's just too
1353
01:15:34.039 --> 01:15:38.119
much information for people to like cram into their heads,
1354
01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:38.760
you know what I'm saying.
1355
01:15:39.279 --> 01:15:41.640
So I definitely.
1356
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:45.520
Feel like next week is better, and we're gonna unveil
1357
01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:48.279
before the record segment on Monday, where I will talk
1358
01:15:48.279 --> 01:15:49.760
about the music that I'm listening.
1359
01:15:49.600 --> 01:15:51.920
To and that I'm liking. Uh So you got to
1360
01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:52.640
stick around for that.
1361
01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:56.680
And it is time for us to.
1362
01:15:58.720 --> 01:16:00.800
Have one of these moments, which actually is great for
1363
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:08.840
what just took place. H m hmmm.
1364
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:32.079
So this is my first week this show, and it's
1365
01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:37.680
so incredible because it's so and have like folks there.
1366
01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:43.359
But I have to tell you, I'm always talked at
1367
01:16:43.399 --> 01:16:50.439
the visual that exists. We discussing Doctor Connie Mark. That
1368
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:56.800
was a theme of this. Okay, this sound is sad
1369
01:16:57.520 --> 01:16:58.000
mm hmmm.
1370
01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:08.840
Why does it sound bad, y'all. The sound is bad.
1371
01:17:09.479 --> 01:17:10.760
Let me let me check and see.
1372
01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:20.000
So the comedy is y'all being like this that and
1373
01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:21.880
the third, this that and the third, and then I
1374
01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:24.880
have to like react to what y'all are saying. Okay,
1375
01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:32.920
I'm just gonna do this because the people are very
1376
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:42.560
much loud, So I'm just gonna do this, y'all. I
1377
01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:48.880
am always shocked and amazed at the commitment that I
1378
01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:52.680
see my sisters have to tearing down each other. And
1379
01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:55.800
I have been accused of this in the past as
1380
01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:59.159
somebody who you know, considered themselves to be doing like
1381
01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:04.439
pop culture commentary, And once upon a time, pop culture
1382
01:18:04.479 --> 01:18:08.199
commentary was basically just talking about like things that are
1383
01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:12.159
happening in the news and pop culture things that are
1384
01:18:12.199 --> 01:18:13.399
happening in the news.
1385
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:16.399
And I honestly.
1386
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:21.600
Felt like there was something very genuine about that, something
1387
01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:27.520
that was very necessary about that, because pop culture, particularly
1388
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:33.439
black popular culture, has a different level of impact to it.
1389
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:40.560
So I definitely saw that as a necessary aspect of
1390
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:41.800
our culture.
1391
01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:48.359
That being said, I don't know when it turned into.
1392
01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:56.600
Being pop culture, and just mean as hell, I don't
1393
01:18:56.640 --> 01:19:02.199
know when that happened. Definitely, it is something that is
1394
01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:06.479
incredibly it seems to be representative of where we are
1395
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:11.520
just as a people, as folks in the United States,
1396
01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:19.239
that we're so milling to just decry, defame, denigrate.
1397
01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:21.239
Others, and we do it.
1398
01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:25.520
We see it in all areas, right, Like we don't
1399
01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:27.359
just see it in pop culture. We see it in
1400
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:32.760
people in doing sports, we see it in people doing politics.
1401
01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:33.720
Politics are different.
1402
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:38.520
But for me, I've had to say I don't want
1403
01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:40.880
to be that, like That's why it bothered me when
1404
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:43.279
people are trying to make out what I said about
1405
01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:46.239
Nini as like me shading Niani, when really what I
1406
01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:49.359
was saying was like, you don't have to lie sis,
1407
01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:53.079
like if you made that choice, make that choice, like
1408
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:57.039
you can love yourself in your choices, and we shouldn't
1409
01:19:57.039 --> 01:19:58.920
have nothing to say about it. And the only reason
1410
01:19:58.960 --> 01:20:02.000
that you would be unwilling to speak on that is
1411
01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:04.720
probably because you just don't want people to talk about it.
1412
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:10.279
But we have set up this framework where people feel
1413
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:12.319
like they got to lie about things that are literally
1414
01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:17.000
like Plana's day because they just don't want to take
1415
01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:20.000
they don't want to have to hear about it. And
1416
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:22.760
as somebody who is constantly attacked for things that I'm
1417
01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:30.279
being completely honest about. I'm just disgusted on a regular basis,
1418
01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:34.560
particularly when I see my sisters black women so willing
1419
01:20:34.760 --> 01:20:38.560
to cause harm to each other, particularly for the sake
1420
01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:45.600
of capitalist game. And I challenge us everybody, not just
1421
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:51.399
black women, but I challenge us to make better decisions
1422
01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:54.359
about what we're putting out there. Like I was telling Mark,
1423
01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:56.399
I literally saw someone today say, like a man a
1424
01:20:56.439 --> 01:20:58.640
sales show, buz doesn't want you like you sat there
1425
01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:02.439
and said, I'm gonna say this, and I'm gonna type this,
1426
01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:05.319
and then I'm gonna sit on a camera and I'm
1427
01:21:05.359 --> 01:21:09.600
just gonna talk mess about this person, this person who's
1428
01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:12.760
never harmed me. I'm using myself as the example. But
1429
01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:15.159
they do this about all people, all types of people.
1430
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:17.840
They do this all the time. This person who is
1431
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:23.920
not harming anybody, and who nine times out of ten
1432
01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:29.319
is being misquoted, is being misquoted because somebody's watching this,
1433
01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:29.760
and it's.
1434
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:31.720
Like, well, what about when you try to ruin that
1435
01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:35.760
black doctor's life that never happened. I didn't lie about
1436
01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:36.159
any of that.
1437
01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:41.000
I will stand firm and forever on my decision to
1438
01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:44.920
speak publicly about what people were telling me privately, So
1439
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:52.000
I think it's just at this point, the best thing
1440
01:21:52.079 --> 01:21:57.359
we can do is ask ourselves are we in spaces
1441
01:21:57.479 --> 01:22:01.520
teaching or learning? And for me, if I'm not doing
1442
01:22:01.560 --> 01:22:04.680
either of those things, then I am settling my nervous
1443
01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:09.600
system because I'm not teaching or learning when I'm watching
1444
01:22:09.640 --> 01:22:14.119
Game of Thrones, but I'm settling my nervous system. So
1445
01:22:14.199 --> 01:22:16.520
I hope this show is settling your nervous system.
1446
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:21.039
And uh, you know, I hope that you have had
1447
01:22:21.279 --> 01:22:24.399
a good time today, and we I had a great time.
1448
01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:26.920
People kept asking me, are you gonna have guests? Are
1449
01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:40.760
you gonna have guests? Yes, yes, yes, h yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,

01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:42.319
