Jasmine Crockett is Not a Different Democrat [EP 92]

Topical.

And the first thing that all of these fascists do is burn books. And I read somewhere that it's not that they're burning books because they want to destroy art. It's not that they're burning books because they want to disrupt history. They're burning books because they want to destroy memory. They want to destroy the memory of what was there before they got there, so that folks will not fight to get it back. I start with the fact that

Right?

So if I feel like I don't have control of that, then I start mapping a car. So I'm somebody who thinks in a very practical fashion, like I'm very utilitarian, and like, okay, how can we see that down the line. But I'm also an artist, so I'm like imaginative in what that can be. And I know that for a lot of us we are stuck to a grid of only what we have seen is possible versus what we can create possibility from which, by the way, as Black people,

That you.

Aren't getting notifications, I suggest actually setting an alarm in your phone, because depending on these apps to notify you when someone they are against is going to be talking is counter intuitive. Like it literally doesn't. It doesn't make sense, you know. So like I've I've been shadow band I've been shadow banded for years now, you know what I'm saying. So y'all know that I've been shadow banned for years, So it doesn't make sense. It really is just about

But black American Amanda Landers here to learn John Bennett and then where you're watching from Miami, Pittsburgh, Massachusetts, Sweden for one more week. I just sent you your package. Cleveland, Ohio, Everett, Massachusetts. The chat is moving slow because of the Internet, and

Of the day.

And you know, I'm not home, so like I don't have like my whole shit together, So just paw in me, Okay, paw in me. I'm also in a different time zone, like I just have a lot of excuses, to be quite honest. I had dinner last night. I went out last night, and the dinner wasn't y'all. I mean it was good, like in terms of like I was with my homegirl, but like the actual food itself, it wasn't. It wasn't hidden, and so I had to really force myself to try to eat it. But it wasn't hidden, and so I

Meg Collier says, I've been consumed with studying the mycology of the Democratic Party. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Well, we have somebody who knows about them things with us today. The brilliant Sabrina Tellate is

Now?

This question comes out of the fact that whenever I share information online, the question that comes back to me is so what are we supposed to do?

So?

What do we do now? And when I talked about Jasmine Sullivan, not Jasmine Sullivan, I'm not scared, I guess, but I'm scared. Love it you. No, not Jasmine, but shout out to Jazz, She's great. When I talked about Jasmine Crockett I said a very specific statement, which is, you know, perfection is not necessarily is not the metric that's going to get change. Is not going to be

I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me on, Amanda. Yeah, I can hear you.

You have a delay. We have a delay. This internet savs is gonna kill me. But okay, I'm gonna work through it. I'm very irritated this morning. How are you doing.

I'm doing great.

Okay, I wanted more, so give me more. How are you doing? Beyond great? The bank is banging per usual.

I've just been really busy, really busy this year.

So I'm looking to cranking out the rest of December and going into twenty twenty six with the bank.

I want to do the exact opposite. But I hear you, Gruel, I hear you. I want to go into twenty twenty six with the ease of a lazy river at a water park in the Midwest. Oh, that's what I would ask.

That's different.

Just I'm trying to ease, and I don't want to be I don't want no bangs. I don't want to nothing, no, no hard impact, nothing. Okay, but you are you have been working so hard, and I want to start off immediately with talking about your documentary. And I understand the documentary struggle. So let's first let people know about the documentary before we get into the jasmine conversation. And this documentary is called erasure. I mean sorry, a removed black

Universities, but some might say that there are two Boston's.

If you look at city Hall, no one's talking about that specific racial and historical component that black people are the ones that are being removed.

There's a huge, significant different and lived experiences. And we know this because of.

The wealthy board.

We're at eight dollars.

This whole plan and gentrification is in the new concept and every city you go into in the Northeast, they kept moving black people out of there inner city. So it's a plan. It's been in place for a long time.

While the displacement isn't as bad as nineteen sixty three.

It hasn't gotten much better now.

It's by design that they've created spaces where we are no longer seen anymore.

They're wiping us.

Out, one community at a time, and they're getting away with it. This is gentrification. Franklin Park has been a place where we have built community and all these things are at risk.

Why is the mayor willing to flow herself on the sword do or die for this project?

It's not about soccer.

It's about the additional profits that can be made in this entertainment complex.

It's a disrespect that you would take public parkland and then give it to a private ut controlling.

And this project is him.

It tills Mama pulling back a curtain and if people don't look at what's behind that curtain, it's coming to them.

Yes, yes, people are doing documentaries.

So Sabena, I don't know if you know this. My father ain't shit, but he is from Boston, so I do have a connection to Boston. He is from Roxbury. Yes, so you know when I was like, I was like, you know what, I really need to know more about Boston and this is a great place to start So tell us what made you decide to make because honestly, you have so much information and knowledge that you could have made fifty eleven different documentaries. What made you decide to do this one first?

Yeah, So I moved to Boston in twenty eleven, so I've been here for a long time actually, and one of the things that I've noticed over the years is the rate of gentrification and the way that it has continued to increase. And there was a group of activists that reached out to me and they said they wanted to have a meeting with me to tell me about a new project, which is White Stadium, which is located inside of Franklin Park that is also leading to more gentrification.

When we get into the urban renewal.

Part of the film, we do dive into these plans to build high ways in black communities that were never built, but housing was torn down because those highways were going to be created. So Milwaukee's a good example of this, how they displaced an entire black community because they were going to put a highway through the city that they never put So of course they find ways to get you further and further away from the places that are productive.

I think just because of the topic. It can be kind of it.

I mean, yeah, like it can be exactly.

Right, and you know, and and and some people were like, well what about us, what about this? And I'm like, you don't have a net worth of eight dollars. Black people do. And so I think it's important that people understand how that came to be in Boston, how it came to be that the average black family has a networth of eight dollars, and the average white family has a net worth of over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

You should check out an interview I did with an architect, Adam Paul Susanec. He has a page called Segregation by Design. Do you know who I'm talking about.

I read an article about that.

Yeah, he came on the show and it was like so super informative but also just really clear as day the ways in which highways are used to create segregation. And it's not done in community conversation. It's done, as you said, over the people, over the heads of people. You know, It's done behind closed doors, which is why it ends up being so imperative that people are involved locally in the way that in the way things are happening, right. I mean, we just simply don't as a nation have

I thought it was a great experience. I'll tell you.

The easiest part about this were the interviews, Like a number of people like were happy to participate to be a part of it. So I thought that was going to be the most difficult part, like getting people who actually want to be in the documentary. But that was the easiest part because they said, we need to tell the story of Black Boston and people need to know what's happening here in Roxbury. There's gentrification happening in Roxbury

Before, which literally proves your point right.

It's when I say erasure, it's not even just physical erasure. It's not including this information in the libraries. I went to libraries. I looked online looking for old Roxbury when people migrated from the South to Boston, very difficult to find. I ended up learning that Northeastern University, which is a part of the gentrification in Roxbury by the way, I hate to say it, because I went to school at Northeastern University, but they somehow were able to own a

In the day.

And even then it was very hard to find those pictures. So I had to reach out again to other people who grew up here and said, do you have any photos of what Roxbury used to be like? Like all the black businesses that were there before a lot of them were burned down, and whoa burned down? Yes, Well, there's a story about the night that James Brown saved Boston. I'm not sure if you ever heard about that, Amanda.

That that was the most difficult part.

So where do you feel, Well, how did the people who are in the documentary, who are like directly affected by this, how do you feel their response to the doc has been.

They're very proud of it.

I again, like I said, I was very surprised, Like when we did the screening, I got a standing ovation. This is my first documentary, so I didn't really know what to I didn't know what the response was going to be or if people were going to be receptive to it. One of the journalists that was in the documentary, Yabu Miller, you know, he kind of I met with

I agree about them, I had.

I had to tell him my job is to elevate the voices of those that are not heard. There are plenty, there's a lot of history about South Boston. There's a lot of movies about South Boston. Their story is told. My job is to tell the stories of those who are not heard. And I also had to remind him they don't have a net worth of eight dollars, right, So it's wild to me when people come in and they say, well, what about the white people? The white people don't have a net worth of eight dollars. It

What they don't know? Bobby, Ricky and MiG are.

Yes, yes, and they were more successful than New Kids on the Block. But again that says something. It says something about the culture we just had. And this is in the documentary as well. There was a New Addition Day. I know, I know, I know, there was a New Edition celebration day where they came here just recently over the summer, and the mayor she dead came a street to a new Edition finally, right after all these years,

They're also lovely, like if y'all have ever met New Edition, they're also like really nice. And the last time I was around them, Ronnie Devout, who was my heart and soul Sabrina Salvadi was like, you know, I just want you to keep going, sister. I see what you're doing and we appreciate you. And eight year old, ten year old and twelve year old Amanda has never recovered that Ronnie Devot sees her as an adult literally, like I have videos where I'm referring to myself as my fake name,

I can see that, Amanda. I can see you having the thing for Ronnie.

I can see yeah.

But yeah, I think a big part of it is that.

These things need to be promoted and there's a lot of talent that came from Roxbury and Dorchester, but people don't even know about it. People don't even know Lewis Ferricon is from Boston. People don't know about Malcolm X.

That's another thing.

You know that Malcolm Max is from Boston.

That's another thing we talk about in the documentary, how Malcolm X's house has now declared a historical site. But if you see what it looks like, Paul Revere's house don't look like that. You know, it's just it's it's it's wild, like that should be everywhere. And I said, there is something to be said about this that you don't see this in the other cities on the East Coast where the black culture is hidden in such a way where people are like are black people even here?

I mean, Boston is so racist, Like every time I go to Boston, the only time I see black people is when I do my shows, like when I'm in like where, Like typically if I go to a restaurant or if I'm just in the Boston proper and I go to a restaurant or I'm at my hotel, I don't see black people. And I don't even see black people working. Right, It's not like, Okay, we are in the private sector. No, we're literally nowhere to be found.

Right.

I think a lot of people, Yeah, people still make that mistake.

I mean Boston was the last Boston's desegregate their schools until the seventies, like the mid seventies, like not even like seventy one, right, Like they was old and on and they were just as mad as these other videos that you see of Ruby Bridges and these white people, you know, scowling, and all of that was happening in Boston as well.

There's also a famous picture of Ted Landmark being hit by the American flag by a white guy that said, you're taking our jobs. I believe that picture was on Time magazine at some point, but that is a very infamous picture that a lot of people are familiar with. Interestingly enough, though Ted Landmark still lives here, he teaches at Northeastern University. It's there's a lot of things that

But it's still there, loud and clear, loud and clear. So you are now on the trajectory with festivals, et cetera, etc. Where can people watch.

The doc You can watch it right now on my YouTube channel. It's called Remove Black Erasure in Boston. My channel is Savvy Sab, so you can watch it there. It may be there only for a limited amount of time. It depends on some of these festivals that we apply to. We are reaching out to see if it can still be on YouTube. For some it's fine. For others, we're

But that's where you can find it now.

All right, removed a rature of black Boston? And how long did it take for you to put this together?

We started filming at the end of April, so we moved pretty quickly. For documentary standards, documentaries can take years from what I understand to film.

Yes. Yes, And how do you feel like you were able to get it pushed along so fast?

I got to give kudos to my editor, Scott Hanshew. Scott was phenomenal. He has a lot of experience working in film and he was able to move things along in a way that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. He's the one that created a lot of the graphics, the transitions, like, all of that is Scott.

That's not me.

I don't have those skills, So definitely shout outs to him, all right.

Scott shot got USh out the crew. You know what I'm saying, We got to shout the below the line. All right, well, Savvey, thank you so much. I mean, it's so necessary that we continue to make this type of work right in the face of the constant erasure of basically everything that is about knowledge and truth, right, Like, that's what we're constantly witnessing and watching. I want to pivot because I texted Sabby this morning and I was like, now, Savby,

How about this new one?

They have their new star, Crocket, How about her? She's a new star of the Democrat Barty, Jasmine Crockett. They're in big trouble, but you.

Have this woman Crockett.

She's a very low IQ person.

I watched her speak the other day. She's definitely a low IQ person. Crocket. Oh man, oh man, She's a very low IQ person.

Somebody said the other day, she's one of the leaders of the party. I said, you gotta be kidding.

Now, they're gonna rely on Crockett.

Crockett's gonna bring them bed.

Sabbie. I had to put on my red lip so I can align with you. I said, we gotta, we gotta put on our red lip. All right, Okay, first impressions of this move?

Who made that ad? Who made that ad?

It just Jasmine Crockett isn't running against Donald Trump, and I feel like the ad also was. I don't know, it seems to kind of be all about like her and not policy. It's just it's kind of it's it's given me ego vibes, right, But ultimately she's she's not running against Donald Trump. So I just I don't know who's making these decisions. Amanda, Well, you know the.

Thing about it, So at one point in time, Jasmine and I were actually really getting cool, and so there's things that I don't share conversation wise, because they weren't being had in the context of her being a politician and me being someone in media or just an intellectual, right, Like they were conversations we were having off the record.

I'm I guess because she's been very vocal against of course Marjorie Taylor Green, the Republican Party in general. She was very she was more outspoken than others. But that's the easy part. It's easy to fight against Trump. It's easy to oppose the Republican Party that's supposed to be your opposition, supposed to be opposition. They agree on more than we realize. But where were you when a genocide started under Joe Biden? See, that's the thing I can.

Tell you where she was.

Yeah, it's like you're not pushing back against people in your own party that have made decisions that lead to the erasure of a group of people, even now that Trump's in office. I mean, it's just and we can get to the Israel park because I'm going to tell people who she really is.

Oh, but I left that for last because I know, see one thing about Sabrina Salvati is she's going to give you the receipts of the receipts. And that is the thing that I feel like these folks fail to realize is that there are folks out here who are tracking their choices, who are tracking their votes, who are tracking their money, and who are tracking their shifts and their changes, and they don't acknowledge that, and so they

Okay, Well, senators work in Congress, and after legislation passes the House, it makes its way over to the Senate. I mean it's like, so she will be voting on legislation that impacts all of us, the entire United States. And I think, I don't know. I don't know what the schools are doing nowadays, but it seems like we need to teach civics to people again, or if people have not learned civics. I'm starting to realize people don't know what some of these positions actually do, but that

It's not just that she took it. It's that she said she wasn't gonna take it. Yeah, ran on, I don't take it, but my opponent does, and then proceeded to I think it's important to denote these shifts in ideology that are actually not just impacting her campaign, but impact the way that we are allowing dark money to affect the way our elections operate.

Right, she was one of the people that said, look at me, I have zero dollars of corporate Pac money. But then she went on to take corporate Pac money, and she took more than her opponent was actually taking. She's also in the crypto the Crypto club. She took like the crypto money, which Trump is a big fan of. And I think that people need to go back and

The fight.

I forget. It might have been workers. I forget. I have to go back and check, but it.

Was something that was actually for the people. Yeah.

Yeah, and that's why she was brought on to Yeah, they were talking to her about it. So that was when I first heard about her. I was like, Okay, she's out there fighting for you know, for the people. But then once she got into Congress, you know, you started to see how she really was. So, yeah, she fights back against the Republican Party, but I mean they're all kind of doing that in a way. That's that's the minimum. But don't get don't get it twisted. She's

Yeah, it's because of the way that they vote.

Right, So these candidates that are taking corporate pac money, the candidates that are taking you know, whether it's crypto money, et cetera. You have to know that a lot of these lobby interest groups they write legislation in Congress. It's not just politicians that are writing legislation. And when they write legislation, they write legislation that's going to benefit them. And then these politicians that are taking donations from them

Like it.

It's weird. And I've already seen the shift.

I'm already seeing progressives and they say, yeah, she's the fighter, she's the progressive we need. Now, all of a sudden, Medicare for all doesn't matter now, all of a sudden like Israel doesn't matter and I'm noticing climate change.

There's a direct quote on her site where she talks about energy and climate change and she says it says, generating more wind powered electricity than any state in the nation, Texas forges into the future while also staying true to its oil and gas origins. What does that even mean

She's and it's I think she's tricked a lot of people, although I have noticed, like z Jalawni has called her out just recently and said, Jasmine Crockett's not progressive. This is last night I went over the way that she has voted. I think a lot of times people just aren't paying attention. So yeah, like she's raised her voice against Marjorie Tailer Green, she's called out Trump, she's danced in the halls of Congress and all those types of things.

About her voting. Yeah, let's talk about her door so her record ahead, we have a delay, so it's a little bit awkward.

So okay, So it was just yeah, I was just gonna say, for those who were wondering about Israel on foreign policy, most of the time she voted along with Israel. Most of the time, she voted along with you know what Trump actually would have wanted for Israel.

Track a Pack.

I'm not sure if everybody follows this group on X but track Apak they have a website of the candidates that they endorse and also they list the candidates that are taking like you know, a pac money, et cetera. They are not endorsing Jasmine Crocket. They said Jasmine Crockett did not call it a genocide. Jasmine Crockett because of the way that she's voted, like not to stop the weapons. So they have an endorsed her that should tell you everything.

And people are like, well, she hasn't taken a PAC money. So first of all, I want to let you all know that there are other packs or other Israeli lobbies besides a PAC. And now that a PAC is so outed, they are going other ways. They are finding other surreptitious ways to get this money to these people. They know that they have control over these people. At a certain point in time, Jasmine Crockett signed a letter of allegiance to Israel, and I mean to the lobbies saying like okay,

Let's talk about the money.

I don't know if everybody has looked this up, but if you get a chance, you should. You should look up to see how much your state and your city sends to Israel. And then I want you to look up the homelessness rate in your area. I want you to look at the unemployment rate in your area. I want you to see where all that where a lot of the money is going. I can tell you Boston sent ten million dollars to Israel, and our homelessness rate is skyrocketed, So the money's not being spent here.

That's a big part of it.

Also for someone who I believe, Jasmine Crockett was a civil rights lawyer, doesn't she practice civil rights? Okay, So if you're fighting for civil rights, why are you supporting Israel? Because, if anything, you should be supporting you know, the Palestinian people are occupied. The Palestinian people are oppressed. The Israelies are not occupied. The Israelis are not oppressed. They control the land, the air, and the sea. They control what

This is a weekly thing.

This didn't start October seventh, but there are multiple you can look up the videos for yourself. Is rarely settlers going into the West Bank stealing Palestinian's home, squatting outside their homes, waiting until they go to work, and then destroying it, knocking it down like, so that's what that's what Jasmine supports. People have to understand that when you say, like I support Israel and we need to stand with them, you're supporting all of that. So as a civil rights lawyer,

Right, there's also individuals like this Ailman lady right, So like James Tallerico who is also running and who others will say is another option he takes his He's getting his Israel money from an individual from Adelman, who also sent buttloads of money to Donald Trump. And this is why Sabby I'm like, I need people to understand that we are watching a false flag operation in there being opposition between Democrats and Republicans. And Sabby talks about this

The NYPD is directly aligned with the IDF. That whole boat on your next thing, that whole boot on your next thing.

Where do you think this all this works together?

Right?

So?

I was just talking about last night about the AI and intelligence that's happening. Israel is advancing, advancing their technology, especially when it comes to AI. They're already making statements and people need to pay attention to what's happening out there. They're already making statements that Americans who don't want to agree with Israel, we should treat them like people in Gaza.

So I ask.

Yourself, actually, yeah, well, I'm trying to get it over here. You gotta like, why have you seen the APEC video. Yes, let's show that real quick for people, because this is nuts.

It's the start of a new day, and thanks to Israeli innovation, our journey will be made easier.

I'll show you the sky.

Our connections clearer, looking down, our food more plentiful and nourishing, our oceans cleaner, looking down, our communities safe and you I loved ones healthier, and we.

Can take it one step back the time. We can take it one step, one step till we get it.

From morning tonight.

Whatever the challenge, Israel is America's partner for a better future.

That technology frighten people. Yep, technology, This is often Israel.

Go ahead, go ahead, Sorry.

Well, I just want to remind people when you think about the things that we don't have here, I want to remind you Israel has universal health care.

Yep.

Israel has free university. But the same politicians who stand up in front of you and tell you that that's socialism and we shouldn't have that here. Support an ally with Israel that has those things.

Make it make sense?

How does that add up? And people think that just having a black person somewhere is advancement is progress If that black person is not operating different than the system they're in, they are simply just advancing the system.

Yeah, and that's not just Jasmine Crockett, That's that's Corey Booker, that's Haakm Jeffries, that's all of them. They're not there to work for you. They're there to work for their donors. That's why the money is involved. So yeah, I know, I get it. People want to have representation, But what kind of representation are you? Are we actually getting the fact that the Congressional Black Caucus align with Israel and prioritizes Israel. I bet you didn't know unless Amanda told you.

We really do.

We got a lot of spoons in Congress. These people, it's fake representation. They're not there to really help you. You see how quickly they can bring forward legislation to prioritize Israel. But how dare you come to them and say, hey, I want legislation for this, this for the black community.

All now is not the time.

I mean common Let's head straight up. I will not make laws that are just for the black community, not laws. I will not bring fourth legislation and bills that are just for the black community. I won't do it.

But she'll do it for Israel.

Oh hell yes. Now. And in providing greater context for people as to what the issue with Israel, let let me show you the type of conversations that happened in Isra.

And this is a rabbi in Israel who is a well known person in the in the community.

He is not just like some random person talking about why slavery should return. The non Jews will want to be our slave. He is the head of the Sons of David religious seminary, and he goes on to say that being the slave of a Jew is the best ayeshiva Zomi. This is a military prep school and he is a teacher there. It is the most well known.

Well, I mean people are going to voeverhear regardless, But I will say this, she has to get through the primary first, which she might go on to win the primary. But do I think she's gonna win in the general? I mean it's Texas most likely not. I just read an article earlier this morning that said that the Republican Party actually elevated. They want her in the race because they believe she'll be the easiest to beat.

It's the pied piper strategy.

Yeah.

Sorry, the sun is coming in. I don't know.

You bringing in the light. Oh you're not used to it in the day.

Yeah, it looks like a halo's coming in.

Like, Oh, I with it. I'm with it. Take us to the lights, have show us the light?

Oh man.

Well, one thing I will say is I appreciate not being alone in speaking the honesty about these folks and the truth about their existence as political figures. I think people are so wrapped up in celebrity that they forget that these are lawmakers.

Yeah yeah, and they'll be making laws that impact our lives. So people need to think about that. And as much as I've been ranting about healthcare over the years, that's another thing. Why is Jasmine Crockett not even supporting Medicare for all?

She's supporting the ACA, which is not the same. So you know they're going to continue to say that we're traders, so go us.

I will say.

I'll say this, I think that people need to focus on building dual power. I think you need to stop like making the pride to the politicians your priority and making them their hero. I don't think that needs to be the thing. A lot of times people are like, who should we look towards to get in Congress, to get into the House, to get into the White House.

This point, Zabby, I believe less and less that it is an actual tool to use in the toolbox because I just haven't seen any evidence of it being useful yet. Well, I think.

I think like on the local level, I have seen Green Party members and independents get into some of these local seats, these local positions and do.

Well with that.

So I think, I don't know, maybe people need to look a little bit more locally, like I encourage more people, need to more independence or if you're your third party, we need more of those people running for these local races mayor school board, city council. And it's so interesting everybody just looks for Congress, like the congressional races. What's happening in your community, Like who's on the city council. City council controls the budget, so like start looking in counsel us how.

You have a arena getting built in your hood?

There you go.

So I mean what we're talking about, like with the stadiums and the gentrification, Like that's not coming from Congress, that's not coming from the White House. That's happening locally.

Yep, it's happening locally. And I want to also point out though the corruption is also happening locally, So I just also want to make that clear. We're not saying that locally is fair and veterally is not. None of it is fair at present. There's corruption in all of this. We are seeing different states that are making them move to remove dark money from their elections, dark money meaning

I would say, the fact that you don't know what it is is the reason why it is that important. They don't want you to know about certain things. I mean, it's just, you know, I don't know. I had this conversation with my viewers, even when it came to the biblical perspective, and I was breaking this down for them as well as I'm like you, guys, got to understand again, in the Bible, when Jesus was talking about Israel, I

No, you better stand on its abs I would. I do want to show the video of the pastors though, because it's very disturbing to me and I just think it's important before you go.

I'm here to be part of the Ambassadors' taking place this week. We're here for seven days support Israel and to take what we learn back to our people back home. I'll be listen parative that we're educating the younger generation on what it means. Can't just stands for Israel. There's a lot, a lot to learn, a lot to be present for, and that is what I expect to do the good news about.

So again we need to point out this is black, white, all flavors, all right.

Place.

I do some of God's place for gods people, and we need to support them.

Reverence Johnny Moore.

We are here to answer a call. Our faith requires action when darkness crisis, and here we are. But the promise is Abraham still notch go with the song. The song still rise, And we gathered here on this closing afternoon to declare a spiritual war.

Wellcome everybody, Okay, I'm not gonna show the whole thing, but the man just said we're here to declare a spiritual war.

Yep.

I'm gonna text you later a SABS congratulations on the documentary. You all please go to Savvy Savs YouTube that you can watch the documentary Removed Erasure of Black Boston and support independent creators, support independent journalists, support them not only because we not getting paid from anything betther than your grassroots support, but also because you deserve to know the truth and there are people out here who have dedicated

Yep, So I'm live on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings.

You in there, Savs Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, y'all you get three days a week to check out Sabby Sabs who will be checking all of the facts and giving them to you. Thank you one more, Thank you again for finally making it on the show, and we shall continue on my red lips. Sister. Hey, I have a good one. Yay. Y'all been asking Sabby coming on the show. Well, we're just gonna turn right round, right round and get into our next guest. We are, miss how are you greeting?

Hey? Can you hear me?

I can, can you hear me?

I Amanda? Yeah, I can perfectly clip.

Okay, okay, Well let me just tell y'all. Missun describes himself your your your Instagram bio is very specific while not being specific at all. So miss Un says dyslexic Nerdi virgin Oscar nominated end of lacyp Award winner. Opinions expressed are solely my own. However, you are I know you to be a photographer.

Before we even get there. I jumped on early and I hadn't seen the clip that you shown of these priests were actors, pastors.

Yeah, everybody is getting brainwashed, baby. That's the that's the new wave.

Mm hmm I. And it's it's particularly I don't know if you've seen The Voice of hinrad Jab yet. Have you watched that film?

No? I have not seen it yet. There's a part of me that's not prepared.

Listen. I ran away from it. I've run away from that film for four months, and I decided, look, just you know, if if Palestinians are enduring what they're enduring, go and see the bloody film. And I sat down, and the reason I'm bringing this up that it's particularly hard to see men and women of God going to this place after watching that film, because what you learn in the film is we all know what happened to

And it's hard to keep up, to be quite honest, I mean, the nonsense is just so innumerable that it's hard to keep up. I mean, the other day you had into mar Ben Gavie wearing a noose pin. I saw them along with others in the Israeli Kanesse, in support of their push to create a death penalty for all of the Palestinian prisoners. Mind you, these people have not had cases, they have not been able to even fight. There a lot of them, don't even have charges.

Them are no adults actually judicial cults in abury which your kids don't understand, and they're being held Oh my god.

Anyway, in the context of that, well no, I mean I'm not surprised because the context of our conversation was about Jasmine Crockett, who was a black woman who was running for senator. And you know, there's now a lot of hullabulu and hubbub about her being progressive and her being you know, the next wave and she's going to save the Democratic Party and me and Sabby Sabs landing that plane at No. No, this is not a progressive This is someone who has staunchly supported Israel. I mean

When Governor Wall started out tonight by repeating this refrain that Israel has a right to defend itself, Israel has just invaded Lebanon. Israel is now intimating that it could attack Iran. So shouldn't we be looking for a little more than just these platitudes about Israel having a right to defend itself. What is the limiting principle, especially when the US the one providing the armaments for Israel to

Effort, I absolutely did vote for it.

I voted for that along with every other supplemental that was available. And I will tell you this, it is important that people understand what diplomacy looks like, and it looks like the fact that this relationship between Israel and the United States has existed since before I was born. And guess what, this relationship will continue on in perpetuity even after I'm gone.

I don't know how many Nigerians you know, but I'm a Nigeriane man, so sometimes I may switch to pigeon when I have when I can't sound like British. Because

So the first step is in knowing that the United States does not actually have politics as a public service. They're not actually in service to the people. They're in service to lobbyists. They're in service to packs and to donors.

Quotient, Yeah, because of the historical.

Because exactly, and that same thing is why Israeli Zionis are getting away with what they're doing, because they effectively peddled this idea of a moral a higher moral ground because of having a higher pain, right, higher harm, higher moral ground. And so that's where you get the whole like, we get to harm people because we were harmed. We have the moral army because we didn't have an army

So how do you how do you connect? I think you kind of connected. Another interesting thing is which is how the far right, and I mean the real far right has seemingly gone into bed with the Zionist entity. And what I mean by that. When Elon Musk did the what do they call it, they hate the you know, the hand, the Hitler hand thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and then the yeah and the the a d L defended him said he was you know that we should move on. We've just had something in England where a

Because this is the thing the same way that I was saying, like there has been a confluence, like a false equivalence created amongst all black people. There's been a false equivalence. He created amongst Jewish people. Right, there's Jewish, there's Judaism as a faith, and if you follow Judaism as a faith, then you don't. It's the same with Christianity. There's Christianity as a faith, and then there's people who are claiming Christianity but they're not following the faith of

You must I'm believing that you also.

Are absolutely artistic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that we're a funny lot because I think the marriage of trauma, like real childhood trauma, which I know you had, and then being on this this spectrum is a really really interesting cocktail because you know, you're such a monol what you're unique in the conversation

The truth is is that there are more. It's just that we have been so ostracized and shunned by our cot by our fellow black folks, that many people then you know, they don't have the support system to really manage it right. And I was very very fortunate that when I was ostracized from the black community for just being myself, I was very fortunate that I had a psychiatrist that really helped me to move through that, and

On bad witness. If you travel the world with this thing. I'm just bad witness.

People celebt images, but my passions is observing the human condition and making arts that has purpose.

Miss An Harriman's work captures protests like no other. The images help people see.

They're not alone and being frustrated.

I do wonder about the difference I'm actually making. What do protest movements truly achieve? If people are still demanding the same human rights?

How the people?

What you're doing is to give one the opportunity to be able to see the images will be here forever.

As a young boy, the images of apartheid South Africa shook me to my core, and then I went on a journey of understanding what it all meant. We got to tell the truth racial profile still exists.

What do you want?

It's going to be the biggest protests ever.

Oh, this is part of the journey. People have a goodness in them that needs to be fed like a plant.

This is the work. This is the bearing witness.

I mean, this is the work the bearing witness. I can't help but try a British accent when I'm talking to someone with the British accents, so I'm not mocking you. I'm really just.

Join you.

I'm working. I'm working on it, but it's so tell me about tell me about the film, and and to me, it goes directly along with what we've been talking about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And I remember, you know, I made a film before this and got nominated for an Oscar and there was a lot of heat around me, and I was like, with this heat, I'm just gonna see if I can get them to let me do what I want to do. And I could see the world getting more and more crazy, and I was like, why don't we do a feature lengths dock on what it means to be an artist that refuses to look away when it pays to be apathetic through the lens

Wait wait wait wait, you don't know if I'm a Star Wars person.

Okay, Well, she said that that the Gaza is the single shot through the exhaust valve of the death Sta that brings.

Down the whole empire. I believe it too, you know, and I love it so much because I think what this what this film is is, it's this film isn't really for you and me. This film is for the dads and mums in Ohio that don't know what occupation means. They don't know about the Peal Commission in thirty six. They don't know about church Hill's Dog in the Manger quote, which is just pure white supremacy before the existence of Israel.

You look at the the the fact that many of us don't realize that a lot of the things we're told to buy that we don't need, we don't even we're Christmas now, for God's sake, how many of us are still buying shopping.

I canceled Christmas, which.

Is investing can and Jerusalem, whereas.

It right in Parisi.

So it's a film about my life that helps you go on a journey of on learning and decolonizing yourself through my images. Listen Edward arningfil changed my life. When I became the first black man to shoot the cover of Vergue in twenty twenty, I could have just stayed on that lane and done pretty well for myself taking pictures of famous folk. I'm very proud of the humans

I thought you were saying the gays like gays, and I was like, what a gay You have a problem with them?

No, they haven't hurt anyone, you know, I'm talking more about the game.

Yes, I mean that was uninsecure, and that was like a really big issue with not issue, but that was a really big focus was like shooting black people properly, you know, and us being able to, like you said, not be purple.

Yeah. And you know, if you look at most of the biggest this is American verge I'm talking about, they still in general use Annie Lebowitz, and I'm always confused by that because there are plenty of black men and women, even in New York State. They can take a picture and I'm like, if you're going to shoot, you name it. You know. Most of the black covers sometimes I use Tyler Mitchell, which is great. He was the first black man to shoot the cover. He did Beyonce in twenty eighteen.

Like, yeah, but don't make demands. That's also part of the problem too, you know, we act as if we don't have agency. Right, I mean, and they don't want to lose an opportunity, so they're not going to make

Have Yeah, but not every I mean, look at Simone Biles for example, Right, It's like, I don't know when she got that big cover.

You know, you mean the Simone Biles who cheered Wait wait, wait, you mean the Simone Biles who cheered of excitement and exaltation when there were three black women who were on the podium at Worlds You mean that Simone Biles, like, I need y'all to stop giving these people passes, like they don't know what's up. Simone Biles is a black woman in gymnastics, and I will tell you now missing we have always been the because I was in gymnastics,

I'm saying that, but I'm saying when she.

May say, yeah, right, but you, for instance, had people to telling you don't do Palestine, but you were like, hmmm, I can't know.

It's it's growth, it's growth, right, it's this five years ago. You know, I don't think I would have been in this place. And I don't think you've always been in this place? Have you always been in this? Just like this?

Wow, I've literally always been like this. You can ask anyone, Like in high school, I led a whole movement in the theater program when the whites were mad because there were three black leads that were doing the black leads in the shows. Ask anybody and they will tell you she's always been like this. But I also came from a home that was very like I grew up listening to Bob Marley, like that was my lullaby music, you

Also a big American vote cover. They would have told her it's a huge deal, and she probably would have been because it's outside of her world. Yeah, I'm just.

I just folks had circles around them that we're on code and so often we're not because the code is money, the code is access, the code is visibility, and I sacrificed that because that doesn't have value to me in the way that it did when I was like at one point, so even if I had been woke forever, I still had people around me that were like, you should do this, and then I'd have like, yeah, nah, But those people were still around me though, you know,

So why have we got from Langston Hughes, from Nina Simone to Pharrell thing he doesn't well, you know what he said, why have we got in the seventies.

In the seventies we had the Black Power movement, but then we also had simultaneously the Southern Strategy and Nixon saying what we're going to do is we are going to bring black people into capitalism, and instead of us actually shifting the systemic racism that takes place, we are going to sidle them but surreptitiously treat it as a goal that they can achieve economic freedom and that they are now able to do so. And so that's what

I had a lot of American brothers and sisters messaging me. They were not upset that they were challenging. I did a one hour interview on Middle East Eye and I brought up the fact that the NBA and NFL is a really good example of not us not recognizing our collective power. That's nice, you know, you look at I don't know what percentage of the NFL is black, I mean.

Enough to say the vast majority.

Yeah, And I said, it's crazy to me that, you know, someone like Lebron James doesn't wake up and you know, and this is why they pay him and others so much. It's hard to have that bird's eye view perspective of saying, why do we just go and raise the money ourselves and set up a co op set up only the European players, that the white players that are good at using European they're going to come with us anyway, right

Read this comment. This is what this is how we get for reals.

I see Lord and he has Lord in his name.

And love. But this is but is it.

A human or bot? I mean, it.

Doesn't it doesn't matter because they'll still be humans that respond to the bot. Right, But this is very much the thought process. Just shut up and get your money.

M hmm, don't try yeah mm hmm. Well I mean getting them. Yeah. And that's that's the ir that's what the because.

You know what, the other part of the of the of the NBA in the NFL, is that many of them, more NFL than NBA, are shaped by white men in their young lives in coach.

Coaches who do not have the politics that recognize as the humanity of black and brown bodies, which is which I find so interesting. Right if you and then you look at the quarterbacks, like I'm forty seven, I you know, we didn't have black quarterbacks to what nineties.

Nineties, like when Mike Nick was a quarterback. People were like, this is impossible.

Yeah, because we were the Bucks, right you shut up?

Well they said they literally said we're not smart enough. Not I and read the shit said we're not smart enough.

Yeah yeah, And so I say that, I say, I say, actually, you know that the structure, the power structure on the field was well plantation based as as I'm concerned, right, and people like, what are you talking about and I'm like, better, look at it, just look at it. And how do we have the level of wealth that is in the NBA in terms of fifty million one hundred million? And you're telling me ten players couldn't get together and buy

Know if you like Claren Kaepernick kneeled for awareness around police brutality and the entire league didn't kneel with him.

And then as a life, I mean you know that they have they even Spike Lee's doc have they pulled it? I don't think that's coming out.

I didn't even know it existed.

There's a big doc Spike's been doing for a long time on Caps Life, and I don't We'll see. HBO has just been bought, so we'll see. But I heard it's not, well, did it get bored? There's a new offer? Right? I thought it was.

Yeah.

I'm talking about it a little later Larry Ellison and Oracle, So tell me this in this climate, how is it different in Britain in terms of creating if at all? Because in the United States, it's become damn near impossible for folks who want to create in the network system or in the studio system, you can't. You're not going to be able to create anything that is subversive, let

Well, I think in the traditional mic and is I mean, it's all about money, right, Who's going to commission what? And you know, the first one I made with Netflix was because it was a guy. You know, it was a black woman, Fiona Lambti there was head of commissioning. Se then has left, right, And I think a lot of people are realizing that, And I think Gaza has everything to do with it, because there's a renaissance of what the consumer wants to see. So if you look

Learn, it's incredible because they're saying they're saying, we're just going to look at the blueprint of what has been done for the last hundred years, but do it with a with a global.

Lens, and the consumer wants it. So what's going to happen now is that people are going to be flying to meet banks in the global South, to meet culture funds. I know three culture funds which I can't speak about, that are being set up by people of color. Right, there are parts of the Arab world that are like, oh, we shook we you know, we've been buying football teams, We've been buying useless truth pets. We're not going to

I mean, you would think they did roots, you know, for the and it's like, how many times we're going to do ruths? How much new there's there's there's new knowledge about old things that need to be shared. And we don't even have any history after nineteen forty five. You're in the United States, missen, you would think that nothing happened after nineteen forty five, Like Martin Luther King was alive and then he died, not assassinated, he.

Died Like I mean, I've just got that book, have you? Did you get the book without Sanctuary? Have you got that book yet?

No? Without Sanctuary?

I mean, America is so fucked about the Christmas the lynching Christmas cards. Well, not you, but Americans used to send themselves. So it's an extraordinary book that goes into detail. I mean this was this was a real practice where someone would send a relatively picture of a lynched black woman or black man as a Christmas card, and somebody needs to do no, no, and someone needs to do the documentary. And I know people don't want to see it,

I know more. I know more about the Holocaust than I did about my own people. I could tell you about Crystal knocked the Nuremberg Trials. I can tell you about the Warsaw Ghetto, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. I can tell you about Dachau and Auschwitz and.

Many great films, many great films.

No, but I'm telling you I knew that from school. I knew that from school. I can sing the Drado song, Oh Drado, dradl Drado, I made it out of like can I can do all of that? However, I didn't do to Zionism.

Do they teach you about Congo, Congo? About Leopold? Okay, we didn't learn.

About I mean, we barely learned that Africa.

Existed, So they didn't talk about ten million jenes, No, ten million hands being chopped off with kids, none of that.

None of it. We haven't in the United States. I mean you have to really be intentional about your children or yourself learning the length that this nation has gone to exhibit harm against everybody who is not wife and then you go to a whole other level to see who the whites that they exhibited harm against because they

No, no, no. And also I don't know how you know, in the art I've got a big exhibition of my photographs and again everyone's like saying, miss and put the BLM stuff, put the climate, put the quip, you're going to do so well, the art world's going to love you. I'm like, it's fifty percent images of Palestinian solidarity and resistance on three continents because that has been my lifetime. This the biggest single protest movement that I've ever witnessed

It ain't at the same time, then it makes them richer.

Well as an asset class. Yes, of course, you know, yes, of course. But the thing about art is that when it's really dangerous is when it goes beyond that and that the people want it, then it becomes part of the zeigeist anyway, right, And I think I never waited to ask permission to do any of the things that I'm doing in terms of you know, if I have There's there's an image I have in the gallery that says fuck white privilege, with a woman wearing a mask

I'll tell you, well, that's what you were saying before though, right, I mean, like there there's like little pepperings of us in various spaces, and why that's also why it's so imperative that we all remain connected.

And And to ask you what was your your lowest point in the last two years, because I know you've been vocal about all of this for a long time before October, but I know for most people it became I mean, I look at I mean miss Rachel's hiring security now, right, I mean, it's just it's it's out of it's out of control. Was there a time in the last two years where, not because people aren't necessarily after you, but the pure medieval violence reigned upon men, women,

February of twenty twenty. For I remember, I was just talking about this last night with my homegirl. Was I was sitting in my car in my garage. I had just come home. I was sitting in my car, I was on the phone with my homegirl, and I remember just sitting in the garage at the dark, talking to her and saying like, I just can't get like I don't want to kill myself, but it feels like I'm dead, Like it feels like death, Like I feel like I know what death is, and I am in a cloud

Up, that is well organized, incredibly unemotional and in his long term intention to do what it needs. I mean, it's it's straight up Star Wars. And but the thing that makes us so much worse than Star Wars, apart from it being real, is that the you know that there was something, it's been removed from the Internet so I can't find it anymore. Of a child that was in the rubble, and she you could only see her

Because you know, and this is why it's so necessary to keep making the things right and doing the things, and I I'm going through that now with Sudan and the couso and hearing the stories that are coming out of there are a whole other level of retrobate. Reprobate. So it's it's you know, and you're you're trying to somehow. I feel like we're having to create a cellular capability that allows us to see it and its horror without

It's not the bombs. Yeah, and the arrogance. And this is the thing about confirmation bias, her level of arrogance. And you know, when you see someone like her saying, and she's fundamentally saying that when it all boils down to it, the only answer is violence. She can use all the you know finery that you know it. She's just saying the bombs have to drop and they have to continue dropping. And the the pure white supremacist viewpoint of her world is extraordinary to me that she can sit.

What's happening in Ukraine?

H don't let me start with that. I called I'm ambassador to Save the children and I got very frustrated with UNICF. So the two biggest charities, not with UNISF but because there's some amazing people at UNICEF, but the biggest ambassador for UNISF from a British point of view is somebody called David Beckham. I'm sure you've heard of and I remember vocal. Well, he wasn't doing anything like that for the last two years for Palestinian kids, yet

Because white children's ambassadors, they're they're they're ambassadors in really just the regard of and they may not even know this, but they're really just tools for soft power because a lot of the actual services being provided to the children that they are the ambassador for are done so with an attachment to some level of leverage or leverage or

No but you know, we've you know, but you know we've we've this two years. You know, I look back and I think none of us, none of us, are ever going to be the same, you know, the whatever whatever veil that was on. For me, it's just all gone right, and I'm not alone. But what's amazing is that a lot of other people And this is what gives me hope, because sometimes you're like, where's the hope, Where's is that a lot of people on beginning to go on a journey to like, oh shit, the Democrats,

But everything you just said, that's not even a thing like, that's not being a progressive, left leaning Democrat. You're still a part of the liberal system that upholds all the ship.

No, that's that's the thing that I think if I was American, my wake up call to that would have been the Biden administration in the last eighty years.

I see, I see, and I think, Okay, so you know what, I agree with you, because I not agree. It's not the word I was there. I was. I was that person.

Hmm lin the Thomas Greenfield like you know, Auntie. I did a post saying, how am I going to tell my daughters? This is the sort of person that I used to think I would tell my daughters about for them to look up to, right, And I'm like, what am I going to say? And I had a whole bunch of folks get in the comments saying, miss and have you looked at her? CV, it's better to have one of us in the room, And I said, no,

Are you mad?

Bring go and bring a palace in the person, Bring a progressive Jewish person, bring them together, stand there and saying this, we need to cease fire. This is if you if you don't at that stage once you use the word genocide, but you can use all kinds of ethnic cleansing other terms, But do not wheel out Clinton to a place with more Arab Americans than anyone else and expect that anyone under twenty five is going to care any white, black, brown people that are just on

Well, that's what Martin Luther King said. Doctor Doctor Martin Luther King Junior said, you know, I feel like I've integrated my people into a burning house. And what he meant by that was he thought that the United States had some level of moral code and it does not, and so he has literally ushered his people into an immoral, unethical space where they are now going to be used against themselves.

And that's what happened.

Oh, I mean he can't even read, so he's probably got so much CT. So we have one question from our bridge across the pond, Reese, who asks a pleasure to witness this conversation. Also, mister Harriman, I'm friends with Nadia so Wilha and Mark, so this is wondrous intersection going to the new year. Do you have any further activism projects?

Yeah, Nadia is a Jordanian British treasure. So's her amazing husband Mark. She has been a real deal since the very beginning. I have photographed her reading the names of murdered children outside the houses of Parliament. I love that woman with all my heart. Yeah, look, I've got my projects.

Allowed to talk about that or not allowed? But are you interested?

What two things I'll say about films The one that I'm hoping to shoot next year is about addiction and redemption in a forgotten America, starring a major one of the great actors of our time, a black man. That's all I can say. The second one, which is in development and you'll love this, and I'm developing a movie about a Beyonce level pop star that has her private jet. Let's say she's in Grenada or whatever. It stops working

Oh well, and Swiss Beats. You know, I look at Alicia Keys and Swiss Beads. You know, Swiss Beats is out here being Muslim, you know, with the name business Muslim. He grew up in in that context. His name is Cassim, his son's name is Cassim. And they have not said anything because they will get phone calls or they'll lose their money, et cetera. You know, and Alicia Keys loves to talk about you know, civil rights and blah blah blah, and some people will say, well, maybe they're doing stuff

And you cannot have hundreds of millions of followers and not use that. It's like said, it's like you have this reach. And Muhammed Ali, for example, before social media, and this is what Mayweather has always got frustrated about in terms of not being called the great, is that most people today, if you see posts about Ali, it's not him fighting in the ring.

No, it's him with Malcolm X, It's him schooling aponous white interviewer. You know, it's him talking about being a person a faith of character, right of revolutionary radical mindsets to this day that to this day, we're the right moves, you know what I mean, Like, there's no, there hasn't been like some you know, some type of epiphany where people are like, man, he made the wrong choice. No, he was actually right the whole time, with.

His whole chest on prime time right. And this is this is exactly what a Pharral or a jay Z Street you would think this stage in their career, like what are they upholding? What are they play? I get I almost understand playing the game together there, but when you are in the room, the whole point is to remember why you wanted to get in that room. Right.

But then Jon tried to open a casino in the middle of New York City. So, and people will say, but they also do good things, And I'm just like, why can't you just do good things? Why? Why? Why is why is there like a give and take? Why why I don't understand that?

So and even for the pasign. Now, you know, if people say, well, you know, black folks talk about black folks, then they should talk about Congo and how about that?

Fine? And you can't talk about the Congo and Sudent without yes, yes, but.

No, no, no, no, your too. I'm saying to advance, you're going from iOS three to iOS fourteen.

Listen, thank you so much for joining us.

My pleasure, my pleasure, thank you so much. Just before I go, I will say this about Congo. Imagine if jay Z, I don't know doctor Dre Pharrell pulled up Tim Cook at Apple and said, Tim, you have one

Tim Cook would say, I don't have the power because that's and that's the other part is that the people that we think are running the show ain't even running the goddamn show.

True. But if you had Lebron jay Z, the people that shape culture actually speak in one voice about this thing, it will I think it would trying.

To get into But this is the thing, like I don't even want I don't I actually don't want them to just speak. Like what what made Princess Diana so you know, crazy to the to the monarchy was that she physically went mm hmmm, you know, like she physically went and spoke to people. She physically went and walked through the land mines and apparently Palestine was next on her agenda, and they took her out. I believe that they took her out. It's alleged, but that's my belief.

Bring things to a yeah, to do them. So I forget how wealthy they are.

I mean like it's like next level the wealth is next level the wealth reason.

Yeah, I know we're going to go. You're amazing. Are you ever in London?

I would like to be. I would like to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be on more international spaces and whatnot. So I am trying to do more podcasts from you know, having and not just like in an ambitious mindset but in a we need to be having like these cross connection cost cultural conversations. Part of what has been so problematic in the United States is that we've really been siloed and that has limited our ability to be useful for

Of course, of course, thank you for having me. Thank you, So I wouldn't say I won't say happy holidays, because I genuinely think it is this time where we need to recognize that eighty Congo, Sudan, Palestine, this is the time you need to think about what you're going to do about it. Whilst you're a home over fed, think about it. For me, my film Watermelon Pictures, just follow them. They're gonna, you know, show in the chat.

So he'll put it in the chat again, y'all, And thank you so much for the work that you do. And yeah, let's let's continue. And sending me to the eleven DMS. Let me tell you something. Massan is gonna send you every.

Post so you know, you know, when I meet someone that is on my spectrum, I love it right because there's a friend of mine Lisa Morris, so she sends even more than I do. I have. I can't.

I mean, I just no, no, no. Honestly, when I read you're in your your IG bio today, I was like, oh, that's why.

Fully, I'm not trying to that's me trying to limit myself.

I respect it. I respect it. I'm telling you. Once I saw the bio today, I was like, oh, I get it now, I understand where a can mine is more compartmentalized. I have very specific people that I send specific things, Like some people they get all posts that I see about mushrooms. One person he gets anything I see about FIREFLI because I know he loves fireflies. My homeboy Luke is going to get anything that is wizards, Lord of the Rings and animals being cool. And it's

Oh gosh, well that makes me feel at better.

What Oh you felt bad. I'm sorry, apologies. I wasn't trying to I was just kidding. I was just having a laugh.

You know that. I absolutely love the idea that no one can pretend to be who they're not online, Like if you look at the behavior of all of us, it's us. It's us, right, you know, like it is who you are. And I love when people pretend like they think that they're it's us.

They're playing there, they think they're playing five D chess.

No, no, no, no, no, it's just you.

Excu Well, I'm glad we got to meet digitally. I look forward to us meeting in person.

Absolutely.

I will make it my business to watch the film now that I actually it's like when i'm home, I don't get time to do anything. When I'm on the road is when I actually get time because I just between doing things. I'm like, oh, I can watch stuff. So I will be watching the film before.

My film watch the Voice of hind Red job please please watch.

Off noted Jens. We really don't have a lot of time because I have to go somewhere, so I just want to run through some things with you all before we go. Actually, the most important thing I want to run.

Through with you.

All is Indonesia. So let's just get into because we've really covered a lot this show. We've really covered a lot safety. I want some news right.

Now.

Climate change is not by accident. It is not natural, and that is something that is really being peddled to make people feel like it's not their responsibility to be challenging the ways in which it is being caused. And it's really disconcerting when you see this footage and you understand stand that it can be prevented. The fossil fuel industry is what is causing what is happening, and I don't think people understand that it's really a two plus two thing. You don't have to be a scientist, it's

Who is a foster society.

Our governments are forcing the public to subsidize fossil fuels by four hundred to five hundred billion dollars per year worldwide, thus encouraging extraction of every fossil fuel mountaintop removal, long wall mining, fracking, tarsans, tar shale, deep ocean arctic drilling. This path, if continued, guarantees that we will pass tipping points leading to ice sheet disintegration that will accelerate out

But we aren't even starting.

So now you know what I know that is moving me to sound this alarm. Clearly, I haven't got this message across. The science is clear. I need your help to communicate the gravity and the urgency of this situation and its solutions more effectively. We owe it to our children and grandchildren.

Thank you, y'all. That was.

From twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, that's crazy. Hold on, anyways, this is not something that's happening by accident. And this was twelve years ago, and look it's happening right now still. The Trump EPA removes all mention of human caused climate crisis from public web pages. This is disinformation, misinformation, and I don't know how we can I don't know how we can really challenge it unless we really begin to

If we take care of the land, the land takes care of us. This is about a relationship, a mutual love story. It's not an accident that eighty percent of the world's remaining bio diversity are located on lands managed and loved by indigenous peoples. We have been in relationships with the plants and animals of our territories and waters for millennia.

We care for each other poorly.

We have values, inside, strategies and knowledge to offer to the rest of the global community with respect to how to be a part of and care for our environment. This knowledge is essential right now. Can help people and the land heal from ecological crises and colonization, It can help restore the planet, and it can help save us all. By fully respecting and acknowledging Indigenous led approaches to the land, we can help create a better future for all.

So that is Valerie courtois. She is a national leader in Canada and the Indigenous led conservation and steward and stewardship movement, and she is a part of the First Nations, And you know, I would say that the Canadian First Nations folks, they really are leading the charge in this. I just saw an article and I'll talk about it on Instagram and I'm Patreon about an actual Native American group in the United States getting an ICE contract to

And one second.

Turns off his camera, turns off for camera for eleven minutes, meets up with some other cop. Okay, meets up with some other cop. Camera turns back on. Now they showed up at the precinct and there's a gun and a manifesto that's all of a sudden surprise in the backpack. Then they put out this footage of him giving a fake name when he's encountered by the cops, and yeah, okay. Also, he don't got the brows. The brows don't line up. The person who was in that video didn't have hair

As a.

You know, people say things to me quite often about how I am supposed to exist as a leader. They'll tell me that this is what a leader would do. If you or a leader, you would tell us who to vote for. If you were a leader, you would tell us how to process your information. If you were a leader, you wouldn't just give us information without solutions. And I find this fascinating because one of the key elements of educating is allowing students to critically think, to

Where is it at?

Do I even have the graphic and hear y'all? All right? Well you'll get this is the acapella thirty oh here it is boom thirty seconds, Ucy names damn Okay, now I gotta do it again. Thirty seconds Ucy names.

A man loved Amen, amen, no.

No, not fine. End
