WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Taxi around.

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 2>This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini cast.

3
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm saluting boy George because sometimes you got to stand

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 3>up and you got to do what's right, even if

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 3>it means going against the grain.

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to stand up and you have to do

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 2>what's right.

8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Boy George one standing up for Jewish Americans.

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you know any Jewish people look at the choir?

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird.

11
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 4>I've kind of had a lot of abuse online for

12
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 4>my support of my Jewish friends, but for me personally,

13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, growing up, I've had so many beautiful Jewish

14
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 4>friends and I still have. Being asked to kind of

15
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 4>turn against the whole race of people is just not

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 4>acceptable to me, and I'm getting a love abuse for it,

17
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 4>but I don't really care. I think music is about

18
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 4>bringing people together, not separating them. You know, and Culture

19
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 4>Club what we were in the beginning. We were a

20
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 4>multicultural man, an irishman, a Jewish drummer, Anglo saxon guitarist.

21
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, we were a mixture of cultures. That was

22
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 4>the whole point of calling herself culture Club.

23
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>You know.

24
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 4>We used to wear the Jewish star and have Jewish

25
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 4>writing on her clothes. I think it's really about your

26
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 4>relationships with people. Do you know what I mean. I

27
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 4>just I don't choose my friends based on their race,

28
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 4>or their sexuality or their age. I chieve people because

29
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 4>I like them because they're good people. And I know

30
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 4>lots of amazing Jewish people. If you don't know any

31
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 4>Jewish people, maybe that's the problem.

32
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 3>And so thank you DMS for directing that my way.

33
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 3>I do have a lot of respect for my man,

34
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 3>boy George of Culture Club and Go Figure, Go Figure America.

35
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>I met Michael Jackson. I had an audience with Michael Jackson.

36
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>I brought my daughter. He talked to my daughter. I

37
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>thought she was gonna faint. She didn't faint.

38
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 2>But I met.

39
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Michael Jackson and I never met boy George.

40
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how that is.

41
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I respect boy George's hustle from back in the day

42
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>when he used to dress like a woman right now.

43
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>It worked for boy George, but not for Dennis Rodman. Notice,

44
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 3>Boy George, to my recollection never told us with a

45
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 3>straight face that he was a woman, even though when

46
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>he got made up he looked pretty good. But what

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 3>we're also going to deal with the arrogance of a

48
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 3>school district in California. Can you say, pay out a

49
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of money for your stupid antics. I'm also dealing

50
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 3>with this hour A major no no from a school

51
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 3>district in California. It's important that I say this upfront.

52
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 3>I have some respect. I have some respect for the

53
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Muslim community. But enough we're trying to throw it down

54
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 3>our throats, and enough with all these mosque I'll say it.

55
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 3>What's the point of having all these mosque if you.

56
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Want to pray.

57
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 3>On the street anyway and inconvenience everyone. Eight hundred eight.

58
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Four eight nine two two two. I want you to

59
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 2>listen to this carefully.

60
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 3>This a report in terms of a lawsuit that's been

61
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 3>filed for what happened at a school district in California.

62
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 3>A major no no. They took the kids on a

63
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 3>school trip.

64
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>To a mosque. Why in the world would you do that?

65
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this.

66
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 5>No.

67
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 6>One has to forcibly put a h job on someone

68
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 6>or forcibly quiz somebody on the Kuran to make this

69
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 6>case a serious problem.

70
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 5>A Palo Alto High school field trip to a mosque

71
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 5>glass Fall is now being disputed in a lawsuit. The

72
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 5>recently filed complaint says students were encouraged to wear Islamic

73
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 5>religious attire, given copies of the Qoran, and observed prayer

74
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 5>during a visit to the Muslim Community Association. It also

75
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 5>states that students were involved in a Quran memorization program,

76
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 5>and according to the lawsuit, students were photographed inside the

77
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 5>mosque in the religious attire. Those images later shared publicly

78
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 5>without parental consent.

79
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 6>A combination of pure pressure, social pressure, and an academic

80
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 6>program all in one.

81
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 5>David Rosenberg Wall as the attorney representing the parents, former students,

82
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 5>and community members behind the lawsuit, many of whom are Jewish.

83
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 5>The group suing the district says the alleged actions violated

84
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 5>federal and state laws governing religion in public schools.

85
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.879
<v Speaker 6>The government has no business promoting a faith.

86
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 5>The pale Alto Unified School District Superintendent Jason Glass tells

87
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 5>Kronford they learned about the lawsuit through news coverage and

88
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 5>had not been served as of Monday. He points to

89
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 5>district policy saying, in part quote, instruction about religion in

90
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 5>our schools must be academic, not devotional. No faith may

91
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 5>be promoted, and no faith may be denigrated. Glass says

92
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 5>every family in the district is entitled to expect that

93
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 5>standard and says he will review the district's practices against it.

94
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>And so that report from California.

95
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 3>And I.

96
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Repeat what I just said.

97
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 3>I have some respect for the Muslim community, but I'm

98
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 3>being frank with you, America. Why are you trying to

99
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>throw this down our throats? And enough with all these

100
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>mosque What do you need all these mosques for.

101
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Now?

102
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that's Islamophobic at all. What I just said.

103
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm asking legitimate questions. Why in the world.

104
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>Would you take kids on a school trip to a mosque?

105
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>One two?

106
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Tell all the females have put on a hit job

107
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 3>that are on the school trip. Why would you do that?

108
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 3>And why would you give students copies of the Quran?

109
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Why would you do that? You don't give them copies

110
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 3>of the Bible. Why would you give them copies of

111
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 3>the Quran? Why would that?

112
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Why would you do that?

113
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Kaching, It's time for the school district to pay out.

114
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 3>I want you to listen to this pastor because this

115
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>stuff is dividing America. A pastor that during the campaign,

116
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 3>President Trump went to see him, and this pastor is

117
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 3>speaking out saying enough, and this isn't a Black pastor,

118
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 3>an African American pastor that enough is enough as far

119
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 3>as relations between the different communities.

120
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this.

121
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 7>Pastor, Lorezzo Sula had the honor and the privilege of

122
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 7>being a senior pastor of one Ady church where President

123
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 7>Donald Trump came for his birthday weekend. It was there

124
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 7>that I had an opportunity to over the President and

125
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 7>it was at that moment that he told me I

126
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 7>would pray at the inauguration and I would be able

127
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 7>to preach.

128
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 2>At the rededication.

129
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.519
<v Speaker 7>The reason why I'm here today because Dear Born, in

130
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 7>all of your prosperity and everything that you've done, the

131
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 7>spirit of Hubbard is still in this city. The spirit

132
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 7>of racism still dwells in this city.

133
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a city that has prospered with your mosque

134
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and your call to prayer. But yet it's on the

135
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>back of my people. It's on the back of black

136
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 1>people that we have funded everything you do. You look

137
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 1>down on us, your police in act injustice on us.

138
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 2>And when Jake.

139
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Laine talked about Jesus, he was assaulted because you are

140
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 1>not under American law, you are up under sharial law.

141
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>That is the reason why you have made nor rest

142
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you laugh.

143
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 2>You are three.

144
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Generations of racism in this very city. You know it.

145
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>You have seen what has happened in this city. And

146
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 1>it is my people that it funded you. It's my

147
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>people that made sure that you have what you have.

148
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>And you spit on us, you degrade us. But you're

149
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>only one percent of this nation. We are not a

150
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>nation of Muslims. We are a nation of Christians. We

151
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 1>are one nation under God, indivisible, the God of the Bible,

152
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the God of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the God

153
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>in whom we serve.

154
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I want you to.

155
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.320
