Art Today is Thursday, April twentieth, twenty twenty three. Thank you so

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,000
much for joining me. I want
to begin with the spoiler candidacy for President

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
of the United States of Robert Kennedy, junior son of Robert Kennedy and nephew

6
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:40,560
of JFK. Of all of the
Kennedy's. We got stuck with this guy,

7
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,719
the anti backs, pro putin conspiracy
theorist net job, who is doing

8
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:51,880
his best to ensure that Donald Trump
or run de Santis either would do fine

9
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,359
for him. What he wants to
make sure is that this country does not

10
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,159
have a democratic president in twenty twenty
four, not because as he cares about

11
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,519
Blue versus Red so much, but
because he is a part of this right

12
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,519
wing global reactionary movement. He is
doing his part, and his part is

13
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:14,519
fundamentally rooted in conspiracy theory, anti
VAX's messaging, in the undermining of our

14
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:19,120
stability in this nation. He is
a spoiler candidate who, quite honestly,

15
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,719
I believe is reeling still in the
aftermath of the assassination of his father,

16
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:27,200
living with that trauma, and now
that trauma is made manifest because he is

17
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,560
carrying out at vendetta against this country, doing the bidding of Steve Bannon,

18
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Roger Stone. The reason I can
make these these statements about him, it's

19
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,239
because who supports him and the outcome
of his goal, his agenda. According

20
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,799
to Fox News, he has taken
Robert Kennedy gains a sizeable chunk of Biden

21
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,280
voters at presidential launch and this is
according to a USA Today pole. They

22
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:59,799
also lump in Maryon Williamson. In
this conversation shot, Democrat candidate Marion Williamson

23
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,319
come five percent of Biden's supporters.
So let's be sure the presidential candidacy running

24
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:13,280
against Joe Biden right now is one
hundred percent about weakening Joe Biden's ability to

25
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,599
beat Donald Trump or Rhonda Santis.
And again, they don't care which one.

26
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,599
Robert Kennedy doesn't care who wins in
the Republican side so long as one

27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,159
of them wins. Why. Because
the Republican Party has given itself over to

28
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,719
the global right wing reactionary movement.
They have given themselves over to the anti

29
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Baxters. They have the Republican Party
has given themselves over to the theocratic fascist

30
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:46,680
The party is underneath complete control of
the very worst factions in this country and

31
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:51,199
own this planet. And so Robert
Kennedy Junior is there for no other reason.

32
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360
If you have followed him through this
pandemic, you would one hundred percent

33
00:02:53,479 --> 00:03:00,639
understand the type of mcavalian agenda that
this man has and to be searched the

34
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,919
support that he has. The support
comes from the right in this country,

35
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,599
the extreme right in this country,
as evidenced by yesterday when his campaign speech

36
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:15,080
announcement was not carried by Facebook,
who took to Twitter to christ censorship to

37
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,960
cry file the right wing echo chamber, the very same right wing echo chamber

38
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,199
that it's doing its very best to
vilify the black community, the LGBTQIA community

39
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400
that's doing its best to ban the
teaching of black history. That same echo

40
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:37,280
chamber was the one promoting Robert Kennedy
Junior yesterday. There's a reason Steve Bannon

41
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,919
supports this guy. There's a reason
that Roger Stone supports this guy. That's

42
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,879
because the one expect him to be
a spoiler candidate to neutralize the Democratic Party

43
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,439
in order to bring victory to Donald
Trump. And I want to say something

44
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080
very clearly here, I don't really
care about the Democratic Party because the Democratic

45
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,639
Party hasn't really done a whole lot
for me except for not being fascist.

46
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,919
And I'm going to be honest with
you, that's just about enough in this

47
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,199
late hour of this American empire,
in the Year of a Lord twenty twenty

48
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,599
three, is we get ready to
go into twenty twenty four. I said

49
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,319
this back in twenty twenty at the
beginning of Joe Biden's campaign. I needed

50
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,120
a president who was not aligned with
or completely a fascist, because that's what

51
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:26,680
Donald Trump is, That's what Rhonda
Santist is. So much more than Donald

52
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,240
Trump. We have real tangible threats
to democracy vying for power right now in

53
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,279
this moment, and the modicum of
stability that we have. I say modicum

54
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,399
because we are far from a stable
nation, but we have enough stability right

55
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,920
now to go in the right direction. We still have enough institutional structure,

56
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,000
We still have enough functioning levers of
democracy for us to maintain a democracy for

57
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,839
many generations to come. Except for
the fact that we have teetering in the

58
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,160
balance, waiting for an opportunity to
jump into full control of this country.

59
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:10,360
A theocratic fascist movement that is flanked
by anti backs know nothing, any imbecilic

60
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:15,240
movement that is also flanked by the
right wing reactionaries who are genuinely gearing up

61
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:21,439
to wage holy war against anyone that
is not a white Christian man or anyone

62
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:29,519
who does not capitulate to the agenda
of white Christian men's That's the reality of

63
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:33,759
what's waiting in the wind. And
this is what Robert Kennedy Junior is trying

64
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,279
to ensure comes into power, because
those are the people who support him,

65
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,920
the right wing reactionaries, as evidenced
by how many of them came out to

66
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:46,199
support him yesterday. The anti Baxer
is because he is the chief. He

67
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,480
is the commander in chief of the
anti backs movements, particularly the one that

68
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:57,279
targeted the black community. Okay,
there were there were specific tactics that Robert

69
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:01,759
Kennedy Junior engaged in during COVID Night
to ensure that black people would not take

70
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,680
COVID nineteen seriously and black people die. So let's be let's look at the

71
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,160
coalition of Robert Kennedy Junior, the
right wing reactionaries that support him, the

72
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,959
anti Backs movement of which he is
a top of, and of course the

73
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,319
theocratic fascists who don't care about any
of that. They just want to bring

74
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:24,360
armageddon so that they can hasten what
they believe to be the second coming of

75
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:30,000
Jesus Christ, my God. When
you really put these things side by side

76
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,800
and you consider what's going on,
and you look at how effective the conservative

77
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:44,160
machine is in using propaganda but also
machinations, their technique, their their strategy,

78
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:48,959
They've actually as ignorant as they are
in public, they are equally brilliant

79
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:55,240
in the background running their games.
Because Robert Kennedy Junior is one of their

80
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,639
chess pieces. Thirteen percent that he's
knocking off from Joe Biden. Put that

81
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,959
on top of the five percent the
maryon Williamson is taking away. The only

82
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,759
question is whether or not they're going
to insist on running third party candidates campaigns

83
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:13,240
when they lose in the primaries.
But generally speaking to primary history has shown

84
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,040
us with Jimmy Carter, a primaried
incumbent president is severely weakened going into the

85
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,959
general election. That's how we got
Ronald Reagan forty years ago, and that's

86
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:27,279
how they're going to try to bring
us a new fascist. In twenty twenty

87
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:48,360
four, speaking of theocratic fascist,
who knew it was so profitable to be

88
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:53,120
a bigot? Matt Walsh of the
Daily Wire, in the aftermath of being

89
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,240
hacked, has gone on a tirade
and intentionally, I was going to say

90
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:03,160
unintentionally, but he leaked how much
he makes on YouTube alone a month.

91
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:09,079
Matt Walsh, the premier theocratic fascist. It's in his bio. He's proud

92
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:15,639
to be a theocratic fascist, the
lead voice trying to get LGBTQ people killed

93
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:18,879
in this country, particularly the trans
community, particularly the trans community. The

94
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,040
guy who's bestie Michael Knows called for
the eradication of transgenderism. That guy makes

95
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:31,039
one hundred thousand dollars a month on
YouTube. Listen to him as he gloats

96
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,919
about losing that money because guess what, YouTube is not even his primary source

97
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,720
of revenue. You know what,
he makes A Daily Wire probably dwarfs that

98
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:46,080
when you consider The Daily Wire offered
Stephen Crowder, a ridiculously pathetic comedian,

99
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:50,639
so called comedian. What's up with
all these really really pathetic comedians who do

100
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:56,679
so well because they spew bigotry like
he and Jimmy Dore. Stephen Crowder got

101
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,480
offered fifty million dollars from The Daily
Wire. So don't feel bad from Matt

102
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,960
Walsh who is now losing that one
hundred thousand dollars a month from YouTube because

103
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,039
he violated their terms of service.
He's using it as a way to build

104
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,320
himself more, because he's letting the
world know he would much rather never get

105
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,039
that one hundred thousand dollars a month
back from YouTube, so long as he

106
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,759
could stand against the tyrrity of transgenderism. Take a listen in These institutional efforts

107
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,320
to silence me and us have continued
all the way up to this week.

108
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,240
So in fact, less than a
day before I was hacked, we received

109
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,679
word from YouTube that I had committed
a series of alleged violations of their terms

110
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,279
of service and also of their ad
partnership guidelines, which will now lead to

111
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,039
my demonetization of potentially being banished forever
from the platform. There were a number

112
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,039
of violations, they claimed. It
only tells about three of them. All

113
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,440
three of them coincidentally had to do
with Dylan mulvaney. I don't know,

114
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,080
just coincidentally, YouTube decided you're not
allowed to say anything about Dylan mulvaney.

115
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,200
YouTube has decided that I'm not allowed
to use biologically accurate language when discussing Dylan

116
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240
or presumably any other trans identified person. Now, of course, there is

117
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,679
a way out of this jam.
You know, the big Tech. They're

118
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:16,000
very generous and they'll give you a
potential off ramp. So if I simply

119
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,919
respect the preferred pronouns, that I
stop accurately gendering people, then I can

120
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,240
likely continue to do my cell on
the platform. I can get it remonetized

121
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,000
after a short probationary period, and
I can continue making over one hundred thousand

122
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,960
dollars a month on YouTube bads.
One hundred thousand dollars a month on YouTube

123
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,759
bads. Listen. I wonder how
many people realize that when we say that

124
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:46,000
billionaires pay millionaires to spread news to
keep you in line, right news,

125
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,279
fake news, propaganda, to keep
you lying, we're also talking about those

126
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,320
YouTubers because they are beyond millionaires,
multi multi millionaires. I mean, for

127
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,759
Stephen Crowder, who is like,
I mean, couldn't make it five seconds

128
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:03,159
on the Apollo Theater stage as a
comedian to get all for fifty million dollars

129
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,600
from this very same company shows you
the kind of money there are wash in.

130
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,559
They have more money than what they
know to do with. And so

131
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,279
what are they doing. They're dropping
a few crumbs. I'm going on a

132
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,159
little change in here. Come with
me. They're dropping a few crumbs in

133
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,039
the black community. They've got a
couple of new voices that they are promoting,

134
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:26,639
I mean diligently to try to create
this appearance that black people are in

135
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,120
line with this right ring reactionary conservative
movement. The Heritage Foundation. They've hired

136
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,440
a couple of black folks. You
know you've got You've got quite a few

137
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,240
figures that are rising to the top
because they have so much money to give

138
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,879
away. They're making so much money. I mean, who knew bigotry was

139
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,279
this profitable. I'm sure YouTube did, I mean YouTube notices that they're missing.

140
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:52,679
They're going to be missing. They're
scared they're cut of his ad revenue.

141
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Right, But they allowed it to
go on so long because he was

142
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:01,840
so profitable, Because bigotry is profitable. To be hate filled is the easy

143
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:07,240
thing to do. There's there's no
big revelation, and that there's nothing,

144
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,879
you know, groundbreaking about that thought. We could just look throughout history.

145
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:18,480
Hatred is always profitable because it is
the one emotion that drives people beyond any

146
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:24,000
reason, any rationality, any normal
thinking. It's the one anger is the

147
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,120
thing that gets people killed. And
so if it's powerful enough to move people

148
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:33,279
into rage so that they can harm
somebody, take someone's life, of course,

149
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,039
it's powerful enough to have them sit
down in front of a computer or

150
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,919
in front of their mobile device and
watch and consume hate field content all day

151
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,399
long. So in this fight that
we're in, I mean, we're not

152
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:50,879
just fighting against against these individuals.
We're fighting against an algorithm that absolutely understands

153
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:56,039
how profitable this hatred is. So
where I mean, and I don't say

154
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,519
this to discourage anyone, especially not
any of you who are like new YouTube

155
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,440
creators, content creators. I mean, you still just have to do the

156
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:11,320
work. You may never be rewarded
with the financial benefits that hatred and bigotry

157
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:15,039
benefits people like Matt Walsh to the
tune of one hundred thousand dollars a month

158
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,279
just own you tube alone. But
that's why I believe we're gonna win.

159
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:28,519
It's counterintuitive. We're outgunned. We're
definitely outfunded by magnitudes of order. I

160
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:35,240
mean, our reach is severely limited
when you consider that someone like Tim Poole

161
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,639
could have sixty thousand live viewers seventy
eighty thousand live viewers on YouTube. Someone

162
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:46,240
is brain dead as Tim Poole.
Right, So we're outgunned, we're outnumbered,

163
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,559
we're out financed. How do I
know we're gonna win? Because these

164
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:52,879
people really believe in their own height. I was going to say something along

165
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,279
the lines of the universe. Save
that for the for the for the Patron's

166
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,679
episode, pat Patrion dot Com,
for slas to bpd sh, I'll tell

167
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,120
you why the universe is going to
assist us in this victory. But when

168
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,600
these people are this confident, look
a look at Rhonda Santis in Florida.

169
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,399
He is so confident in the victories
that he's gotten over the last two years

170
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,600
that he is now making missteps and
it's very I mean, I could actually

171
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,879
give you a scripture reference that helps
you to understand it. Most clearly,

172
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:28,039
Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty
spirit goes before the fall. Conservatism is

173
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,799
going to lose because it is reveling
right now, so much in their victories,

174
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:35,039
in the amount of money that they
can make, that they are completely

175
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,480
blind to the reality that they are
living in their own echo chamber. Now

176
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,320
here's the threat. The real threat
is do we have enough time and do

177
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,960
we have enough resources to run a
left blank on these people to actually be

178
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,960
here long enough to survive the own
slot of money that they're pouring into every

179
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,759
demographic to give Conservatism the appear parts
of diversity, to try to appeal to

180
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:05,639
more black people, because it looks
like, you know, appeal to the

181
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,159
masses. You see all these black
people who are now working for all of

182
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:13,799
these conservative organizations who are being funded. You got the Vernon Jones of the

183
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,639
world. You got the Byron Donalds
of the world. You have the diamonded

184
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Silks of the world, where you
know you got silk down. But you

185
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,639
understand what I'm saying. You have
the conservative movement pouring cash, boatloads of

186
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:31,360
cash into various communities to try to
give the appearance of diversity. If we

187
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,320
can survive that, if we can
outlast that, if our various communities can

188
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:41,919
withstand the push of all of these
cointel bros that are being sent into the

189
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:46,639
black communities, sent into the Muslim
community, sent into the Jewish community,

190
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,799
all of these. Have you ever
noticed every week there's a new demographically specific

191
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,960
character that is being promoted by conservatism
to promote white supremacy. That's the threat.

192
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Their achilles heel though, is their
overconfidence, because they're a washing money.

193
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,960
I mean, they are Scrooge McDuck
swimming through their coins with Buddy,

194
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200
and that's why they're going to be
blindsided by the reality that their money.

195
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,559
I only go so far. People
can only be influenced so much because at

196
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,799
the end of the day, their
gut instinct tells them what's really right and

210
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:00,519
to go down back to Atlanta,
Georgia, where we have been covering the

211
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,759
city protests that has been led by
tree defenders, and I want to read

212
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:10,279
from our friend Kamal Franklin's Twitter timeline
as well as a summary by Fox five

213
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,559
there in Atlanta, showing that the
young men, the young individual rather who

214
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,839
was killed by police, Manuel Tarran, he was killed in the exact opposite

215
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,359
fashion than what the original police reports
and news press conferences made it. See

216
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,720
we said this at the b very
beginning. If you go back to that

217
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:36,200
episode where we discussed this, we
discuss how it is that the media and

218
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,559
the police intentionally make it seem as
though this young person tried to harm them.

219
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Breaking news, the official autopsy is
released showing that Manuel Terran, the

220
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:53,319
forest Defender, didn't have gunpowder residue
on their hands and had at least fifty

221
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:59,359
seven gunshot wounds in their body,
including the hands, torso, legs,

222
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,519
and head. Kamal Franklin said on
his Twitter timeline this is murder. Hashtag

223
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,079
stop cop City. Now for those
of you who may not be up to

224
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,640
date, owned Cops City. It
is the eighty five acre ninety million dollars

225
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:18,559
give me to the cops in the
state of Georgia and an actuality cops from

226
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:23,119
all around the country who are scheduled
to come into this city that has a

227
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:27,119
halopad, that has a movie theater, that has a gun range, that

228
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,680
has everything that they could dream of. I'm sorry, did I say movie

229
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,880
theater, I mean a movie film
set. They're going to be able to

230
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:41,799
film movies on this location as they
are quote unquote training police officers and the

231
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,559
tree defenders. The forest defenders,
they have been in the forest for at

232
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:51,279
least a year now, are trying
to ensure that these public grounds are protected

233
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,920
not only from an environmental perspective,
but also from the rage of the police

234
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,920
state. And so now, as
we see, after all of the press

235
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,880
releases, the mayor of Atlanta black
Man, along with the police chiefs,

236
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,400
along with the Atlantic Journal Constitute,
along with all of the media outlets who

237
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:18,880
forwarded the press release from the police, the police report unchallenged, gave the

238
00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:26,400
entire impression to the entire world that
Tehran was the aggressor who shot at police

239
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:32,160
officers, when in reality, as
the other witnesses stated, they had their

240
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:41,200
hands up. This is the autopsy
is now confirming what we suspected. But

241
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:44,960
this is not the see we suspected
it. Because it's par for the course.

242
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,720
This police state is able to get
away with murder. They have mastered

243
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:56,359
the art of neutralizing outrage by making
sure that every press release has the language

244
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:02,359
sufficient enough to make it seems as
though the police didn't do anything wrong obviously,

245
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,759
but the victim, the victim has
always done something wrong in every police

246
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,519
report. This is why you can't
believe police reports when you read them.

247
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:15,480
This is why the media absolutely has
to stop forwarding these pieces of propaganda.

248
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:22,599
This copaganda. Police reports are coppaganda. They should not be taken as if

249
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,079
they are the law, even if
they are being forwarded by officers deputized by

250
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,599
the law. And so now we
see that that just like witnesses said,

251
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,480
they had their hands up when they
were shot by police, But that doesn't

252
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:41,480
matter, you know why, because
the police understand if you can neutralize the

253
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:48,000
immediate outrage in the aftermath of whoever
you killed. Ask the people of Gulfport,

254
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:52,599
Mississippi. Ask the people who are
protesting on behalf of fifteen year old

255
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,599
Johi mcmiller, as the people who
were who were who had their social media

256
00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:03,680
accounts neutralized there and they had no
ability to even go live to share the

257
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,440
protests, to share their concern.
That's because the police have mastered the art

258
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:12,640
of neutralizing the outrage that comes in
the aftermath of them killing one of us.

259
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:18,400
And now we see with the cop
City protesters, the tree defenders Manuel

260
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:25,319
Tarran was killed, was murdered with
his hands up, with their hands up,

261
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,480
forgive me their pronouns? Are they
them? They were killed by the

262
00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:34,680
police. So what's going to be
done about it? Well, the police

263
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,759
are apparently are just going to go
on like nothing happened, because they have

264
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,440
mastered the art of getting away with
murder. And for what reason. Well,

265
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,799
in this particular case is so that
they can have an eighty five acre,

266
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,279
ninety million dollar playground for them to
go and pretend to be soldiers in

267
00:22:51,359 --> 00:23:10,759
film movies. You guys want to
see You want to see a dead body.

268
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,839
Take a listen to this debate quote
unquote debate between Byron Donald, the

269
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:22,559
Republican from Georgia and Jamal Bowman from
the representative from the state of New York,

270
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,920
as they discussed systematic racism and Jamal
Bowman leans in on the economics of

271
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,480
systematic racism. Take a listener.
Economic system where two of the wealthiest Americans

272
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:41,079
own more wealth than the bottom fifty
percent of the country, we have levels

273
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:47,839
of economic inequality that are worse than
the guilded age. To truly invest in

274
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,240
poverty, you have to reverse the
impact of the disproportioned distribution of wealth that

275
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:59,599
happened post slavery, the Homestead Act, which gave the entire West to white

276
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,960
amounts, both native and far and
born, that kept black people from getting

277
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,799
that land, those homes, and
building wealth. Black banks have never been

278
00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:12,200
invested in in the way that let's
say the Bank of Italy was invested in

279
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,640
that now has become Bank of America
one of our largest banks. You've had

280
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Jim Crow, Black Laws, KKK, mass and constration. You've had globalization

281
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:27,960
where we with the race to the
bottom, chasing low course label all over

282
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,440
the world, taking industrial jobs out
of the black communities. You know what

283
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,599
they know what they brought back in
cops and drugs and the numbers gain.

284
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,759
You gave us an illegal economy and
cops, but never repaired the harm that

285
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:48,279
you have cause, which is why
mostly gun traffickings, trafficking in the black

286
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:51,400
and brown communities, and black and
brown people are killing each other with it.

287
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,240
So we're not talking about dealing with
deitial poverty. I'm talking about reparations,

288
00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:02,440
repairing the historic harm, investing in
school equitably. Right now, if

289
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,400
you live in a wealthy community,
you get more money for your school than

290
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440
you live in the poor community.
And the poor community is only poor because

291
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,559
they were red line by the United
States government via the GI Bill. Come

292
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:14,960
on, now, let me address
a couple of your things. So the

293
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,200
first thing you said is about income
inequality. Listen. Of course, incomes

294
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,519
are not equal because everybody has different
levels of talent ability. People have started

295
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:26,119
in different parts in life. We
both acknowledge that I will never sit here

296
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:33,839
and say that I'm never gonna sit
here and say that black people in America

297
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,079
started at the same place of other
people in America. I'm not gonna make

298
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,720
that point because we both know that
is not true. What is your point,

299
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:45,400
then, that the last voice was
Byron Donald, Because at the core

300
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,960
of it there is Byron Donald is
a black conservative man. There there is

301
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:55,440
a high value price tag being paid
to black men who are really ready to

302
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,559
go out here and do the bidding
of conservatism. Um asked Jason Whitlow as

303
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:04,799
Byron Donald as herschel walker, who
can't be found in the state of Georgia

304
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:07,599
anymore. He's gone. He was
there just long enough to run for Senate.

305
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,640
Nobody can. He hasn't been spotted
in the state of Georgia since he

306
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,000
lost the bounty that is being paid
for black men who will go out here

307
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,640
and do the bidding of conservatism and
sit on television and look as stupid as

308
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,279
Byron Donald did. As Jamal Bowman
had to educate this black man on the

309
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:29,039
reality of what happened in this country. See. One thing I'm not gonna

310
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,160
do is played this game, especially
with black men like, if you're gonna

311
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,319
look me dead in the eye and
say that the problem in the black community

312
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,640
is a result of some moral failing
and black people, no, we're not

313
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:45,200
gonna. I don't personally have time. God bless you Jamal Bowman for actually

314
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,680
taking the time to help explain this
to someone who's being paid to not understand

315
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,720
it. His heart convinced something,
someone of something when they're paying paid to

316
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:56,000
not believe it. And this is
what Byron Donald, this is what the

317
00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:00,720
black men who are doing the bidding
of Conservatism they're doing. It's just another

318
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,000
way, you know what it is. It's just another hustle. The black

319
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,359
men who are currently lining up to
take a paycheck from Conservatism to do the

320
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,599
bidding a white supremacy. They're no
different than the drug dealers in the black

321
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:14,680
community who just are finding a way
for them to survive, are finding a

322
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,880
way for them to get up,
finding a way for them to make a

323
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,839
bag. And right now, the
number one way to make a bag as

324
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,200
a black man in this country is
to go out here and do the bidding

325
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,440
of Conservatism. That's it. So
I see no difference between the poison that

326
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,599
is being spewed by black men who
are being paid to go around the country

327
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:37,119
and to attack the moral integrity,
to suggest that there's some kind of moral

328
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,759
failing. His Byron Donald's first response
to income inequality in that clip was to

329
00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:47,319
say that the reason income inequality exists
because there's a difference in income of skills.

330
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,319
Are are we being serious now when
we see that the absolute most brain

331
00:27:52,400 --> 00:28:00,079
dead, mind numbingly stupid Neanderthals are
fomenting to the top of whiteness. And

332
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,720
you want to turn around and say
black folks ain't working hard enough. Our

333
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:08,079
skills suggest that our skills of the
reason there's income inequality versus the lettany of

334
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:14,000
things that Jamal Bowman just wrote that
just read him for filth with that's because

335
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,720
well you know again, it pays
good money to be willing to tuck your

336
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:23,880
blackness in and to sit up there
and look like a complete Vernon Jones.

337
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,119
That's what he looks like, a
complete moron like Vernon Jones out of the

338
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,839
State of Georgia who sold his soul
for a paycheck. I get it,

339
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,960
brothers, it's hard out in these
streets. I mean, if I had

340
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:38,799
less integrity, I'd probably go take
a conservative check myself, because y'all are

341
00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,319
making a hundred thousand dollars a month
on YouTube being bigoted. I mean,

342
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:47,160
if I didn't have integrity, I
probably could be a billionaire just off of

343
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:52,160
conservative griff. But my soul is
worth a lot more than thirty pieces of

344
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:59,240
filthy silver. My blackness is worth
a whole lot more my integrity and my

345
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:03,440
appeal for justice, my desire for
justice. If we got to go through

346
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,960
a couple of broke days in order
to get justice, that's quite okay with

347
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:12,519
me. But for some people,
they just can't fathom being broken this economy

348
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:17,640
when they can go out and get
a fat check from the Heritage Foundation.

349
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,839
Isn't that right, Delano? And
I get it. I get it.

350
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,720
If if you're looking for you know, I guess when in Rome, do

351
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:27,559
as the Romans, right, when
you're in the American Empire, do as

352
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:33,680
the American imperialist due, which is, pay no attention to how you get

353
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:37,240
your wealth, paying no attention to
the genocide that you had to do to

354
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:41,680
create this country and to create the
wealth, paying no attention to the slavery

355
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,799
that was necessary for you to create
this wealth, Pay no attention to the

356
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:48,839
amount of your soul that you have
to sell to get that check. Black

357
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400
men for Conservatives patrons, stay tuned, everyone else will see them all.
