We Have a Young Generation Who Wants to Hate America
"And I think this ultimately is the big picture issue. And I want you to hear me on this. Since at least 2020, our nation's public schools have been radicalizing our kids. Remember common core? They were teaching our children that America was founded by a bunch of terrorists. They called the Boston Tea Party and act of domestic terrorism. You remember all that? And then along came critical race theory. And they were teaching people to judge, you should judge people by the color of their skin, that if you're a white person, you are the oppressor if you're a black, you are the oppressed. And then along comes the sex and gender crowd with this radical ideology. You got, you have a generation of young people. They don't know their pronouns. Many parents had no idea this was going on. For 20 for 20 years, most parents had no idea what was happening in that public school classroom. For 20 years. When you look at the when you look at the numbers of people who turned out to vote, there were a good number of young people, so the young people actually got out and voted in the midterm elections. And what I find fascinating is those young people are the people that were in public schools and over the past 20 years. We're talking about the millennials. We're talking about Generation Z a group that has been radicalized to hate America. A group that has been radicalized to believe that communism is far better than capitalism. So theoretically, and when you look at how these young people responded, when Biden said, you know what, we're going to forgive all of your student loan debt. We're going to make the American taxpayer just bite the bullet on that. You've got a generation of young people that would rather just rely on the government. Look at what happened during the pandemic. Nobody wanted to go back to work. They wanted to sit on their fat butts and the bark loungers, getting a monthly check from the government.

"By simply Bitcoin. Proclaim your Bitcoin is a three part series that will summarize the nature of man, the current state of man, and the future of man. Part one, the nature of man, part two, the current state of man, in part three, the future of man. Man is in a transitional period. In the process of summarizing these three topics, we will view mankind through the lens of monetary policy. Money is often mistaken as the root of evil. This could not be further from the truth. Money is simply a tool that binds and drives society's forward when it works well and crumbles societies into broken pieces when it is working poorly. And folks, it has been working very poorly for a number of decades as we can all sense in one way or another. We are in a transitional period. But rather than blast our way out of it, since we have already been through too much shit at this point, we are going to have ourselves a peaceful revolution, whether the incumbents like it or not. Understanding money and how human nature operates around it, is the only way to understand the incentives at play in the game theory for our human actions, which together make up the wild and glorious world we live in. With the fundamentals understood, we can then view our current situation more accurately, and then best calculate how to meld money into alignment with those forces and use it to supercharge the future for us, our children, and our children's children into a far distant, bright orange eternity. The same forces at work today were at work when the Egyptians constructed the pyramids. The Mongols sieged Baghdad, and the Americans had their Boston Tea Party. And as modern and noble as we would like to think of ourselves and our fellow man at the end of the day we are all looking out for ourselves and our families first.

"Holiday. July 4th, you should do something with your kids or grandchildren to commemorate the day. You should put out a flag, and at that end of itself, that is the single biggest statement you can make. That you honor this country's founding. That's what July 4th is about. Put out a flag. Everything good takes an effort. That may take an effort. You need some place to put the flag in either stand, you got to get the flag. They have tough stuff. I'm partially sarcastic and partially not sarcastic. I'll tell you how to get the ritual. You need pretzels, you need tea, you need a blueberry and a raspberry. And whipped cream. That's red white and blue. You need a pretzel with salt. To commemorate the tears of those who fought fought. The Revolutionary War, and. Then you say a given. Statement about the tears about the red white and blue about the Tea Party that the T represents the Boston Tea Party, kids love it. I did it last week for a large group of parents, grandparents and grandchildren and children. And the kids just loved it. Kids love ritual. More important kids need ritual. It's the July 4th weekend. And I wonder if even if people are even saying and have a nice fourth, I wish you a good fourth or have a good weekend. Or have a nice holiday weekend or holiday. We have taken away the two identities that matter in this country that have mattered for all of the country's history. We have taken away a religious identity and a national identity. And the very, very, very destructive realistic left has supplanted it with racial identity and gender identity. An amazing. Man, just amazing. You're not a Christian anymore. And you're not an American anymore. Those are just not, those are not important in terms of importance. You may be those, but they have been relegated to the as Lenin put it dustbin of history. But what really counts to the left is your skin color. Which happens to have no depth. There is no meaning to skin color. There is meaning to affirming American values and religious values.

"Didn't work. The colonists protested the tax on principle. They decided that since they didn't get to have anyone in parliament to represent them like people in england had it wasn't fair for parliament to decide anything for the colonists even it was cheaper. They did not by the english tea. If its cargo of tea was unloaded the t- tax would have to be paid to the king so the communists refused to let the dartmouth pull up to the dock on griffin's wharf. They held a town meeting to decide what to do. They sent a man to ask the governor of massachusetts thomas hutchinson to send the ship away with the t- still on board. The governor. said. He could not do that. The colonists held several more meetings. They absolutely would. Not let the tb unloaded onto the wharf and the ship would not leave and tell it was unloaded in the meantime. Things got more complicated. Two more ships arrived also loaded with t the beaver and the eleanor. Also were now sitting at anchor in boston harbor. A group of colonists who wanted freedom from england had no idea they were called the sons of liberty and they were led by patriots. Like sam adams. Paul revere and john hancock this was their plan after dark. The men of boston would disguise themselves so they wouldn't be recognized and row out in small boats to the three merchant ships in the harbor. They would break. Open the chests of tea and dump it overboard and that is what they did. On the night of december sixteenth. Seventeen seventy three over. One hundred men participated in three hours. They dumped ninety thousand pounds of tea straight into boston. Harbor in the morning everyone walking near the docks could smell it in the air. The colonists thought this was a bold plan. They wanted to prove to the english government that they would not be pushed around. the colonists were careful in their protests. No one was hurt and the ships were not damaged at all. Nothing was looted nothing on board. The ships was touched. Except the t. They barely even made any mess at all. Parliament didn't think this was a bold plan. They thought it was vandalism and destruction of property and they were angry they punish the bostonians with a plan. They called the coercive acts. The british army was sent to boston to control the city. They closed the harbour except for the most basic supplies and the harbor would remain closed until the t the colonists destroyed was paid for and they forced bostonians to let british soldiers live in their houses and eat their food. As you can probably guess the people of boston were not happy about the coercive. Acts the boston tea. Party wasn't the only cause of the revolutionary war that started soon after but it was an instigating factor. After several years of war the colonies would be free of british rule and now two hundred and fifty years later. The united states in england our friends..

"A party at all way back. In seventeen seventy three the area that would eventually become. The united states still belonged to the british empire. The thirteen british colonies were governed by laws made in the british parliament in london. Parliament was a group of englishman some from noble families and some commoners who debated and voted on new laws for england and all the colonies around the world that belonged to their empire. England had recently fought several expensive wars and needed to think up ways to make more money to pay off their war debts. One of the things parliament voted on was some new taxes for the american colonies. In seventeen sixty seven they had passed the townsend act which said that the colonists had to pay small taxes or fees whenever they bought paint paper glass led or t the colonists drink over a million pounds of tea every year so even a small tax would make the empire a huge amount of money. The colonists protested they thought these new taxes were unfair. Parliament eventually relented and caught parliament eventually relented and called off all the new taxes except the tax on tea. Parliament tried a different way of making money from selling t to the colonists. The tea act of seventeen seventy three said that english owned companies like the east india company could send their t to america without paying any tariff attacks on international goods. They decided that since england owned the tea and the colonies. This was fair. Even though the t. came from halfway around the world t from other countries like france or china would be charged a tariff which would make it more expensive to buy once. It was unloaded in the colonies. The companies would charge a little more for it to make up for having to pay that. Tariff colonists would be able to buy british east india tea more cheaply than any other t even with the tee tax added on parliament. Were sure that the colonists would be happy to pay this tax instead of buying. More expensive t..

"They usually say no. And so where we at now. Just this past weekend. A group of right-wing individuals trump supporters. Were trying to put on what they call the summer of love. Anti-fascists show up and threw smoke bombs and objects than you get the right wing groups that knew that would happen. Shut up shut up for the fight. Then engage with them. And then you get roving street battles throughout portland where the police say. They refused to intervene. And then two people end up in a shootout people are ducking hitting the ground bolts are flying so i i wondered how long it would take us to get to the point where boats start flying. Were at that point now. Luckily nobody was shot. But i think even understand two for one. Maybe it all ends right now. Maybe that was the moment people saw the gun battle. You know it was a shootout between two people important and say this has gone too far. We gotta stop. i personally. Don't believe that because we saw charlottesville and even after charlottesville which has several years. Now it's still happening and people are still fighting. And i think people need to realize that when you read the history of either the spanish of the war of the russian revolution or weimar germany. It's not like it happened overnight when people read history reading this this this condensed version where it will say you know the boston tea party happened. The boston massacre happened. Americans declared independence but a lot of these people. Don't understand the american revolution was twenty years long. That these these famous moments like the tea party in the massacre where years apart from each other we read history. We think it happened like the next week. So so what i see is now twenty twenty one gun battles in portland. That's that's insane. We've got Joe biden's approval rating among democrats of course eighty-five percent among repub disapproval among republicans. Ninety five percent but among independent voters it's starting to collapse as well the the amount of fervor we saw against donald trump eighty one million votes. And i genuinely believe. I don't i don't think i i don't believe the fraud stuff. I think i think people anti elected trump. they said no to this man and they came out so what happens in twenty twenty two when republicans. Take the house back in the us. What happens in twenty twenty four when you get a trump to santa's the hyper polarization. The tribalism is not de-escalating. I wish it was. But the the fundamental values and moral frameworks of both parent factions are so divergent at this point. I don't think there's a bridge crossing over a good example is actually. There's a story right now. Journalist was attacked by anti-fascist. And i believe it was in portland is a video of it. You can actually watch the video of him calling her a slut shoving her. The ground sprang with paint and may singer and right now if you go on twitter all of left twitter says it was actually the proud voice there there are so tribalist on on on their worldview. They will not accept fault for their own side. And obviously i think the right has its faults. I think the cowboys who shop to fight are causing equal trouble to a certain degree and people have just they have their sides. They wanna fight. They're they're not interested in what is true. They're interested in what they believe. And they're incident confirmation bias. I think when independent voters start swinging away from biden which they are and they might vote for republicans which. I don't necessarily think solves any of the problems. You'll end up with a massive reaction on a much worse than we saw in twenty twenty with the riots because people are entrenched. You know they don't want to back down from what they believe to be true or their world view and i think just one final thought on this a simple way to explain the difference. I do not think you will ever see. A large movement of trump's supporters embracing critical race applied principles critical rates practice. You'll see that You know the left will obviously be very much in favor of their vision of equity and equal outcomes and racial quotas. The right won't do that and so long as you have two governments Fighting over control of one centralized system where they want to implement their moral framework. I think ultimately ends up with some kind of implosion. Well too mean starting with the stuff you were saying about the breakdown of if you're enjoying this conversation.

"That it couldn't get back up that it was right from the top from the president on down. So i think that the eventually the truth will be known but right now there's a lot of republicans who are trying to put the brakes on it because of the midterms. And every i wanna turn to the supreme court and the voting rights ruling in this case out of arizona. Explain the case. And and what do you think this will mean well. It was a six three decision on ideological lines to uphold voting restrictions in arizona that democrats and voting advocates called discriminatory on the basis of race. And because of this decision. It's going to deal a blow to that fight against What voting advocates would call a voter suppression in republican led states across the country. And the fact is that the american people are not on the side of the republican lawmakers and some of these states to to. What if you look at the abc washington post poll. That americans believe that it is more important to have a voting laws that make it easier to vote lawfully than laws that make it harder to vote fraudulently and particularly in georgia. They're everyone's looking at georgia right now. Molly that's right. Although this is all over the country that these kinds of laws are being considered and passed and and you know frankly. The democratic establishment is concerned that they have not effectively countered. This this push Whether you're talking about in congress Where the big you know what they call. Democracy reform bill Went down Or whether you're talking about in the states where. I think this case more than anything sent a clear signal about how the supreme court is going to look at the democratic Attempts to to litigate these laws lawsuits. That are being brought in various states and in georgia you have the justice department involved that of course makes it a different story than than simply a lawsuit but even there you have to wonder about how the courts are going to look at attempts to combat these laws using the legal system. And so if it's not going to happen on capitol hill if it's not going to happen in the courts than it has to happen in the political process and it's going to be about As avery is saying using the fact that these laws are unpopular to try to motivate democratic voters. In exactly i'll see as every pointing out. Molly pointed out not exactly in line with public opinion. No of course. Not but they don't really care about public opinion right if they did. All of this legislation will be looking at differently. You know the thing. That really frustrates me. Most is that the justice acknowledged that these new laws does impact minorities. They didn't deny that aspect of it. They just said that the inconvenience of it isn't so great. Well there are privileged. And i grew up poor. I remember my mom scraping together. Fifty cents seventy five dollars just for gas money to get to the grocery store when you do that to polling places now. You're forcing minorities to decide whether or not they're going to invest money gas money to get to the polling places that are now far further away or do i use this guys. Minutes get to the grocery store to work their privileged saying that. This doesn't inconvenience them enough. Well how do you know. When was the last time you were there poor. I i'd like to talk about. I went down to mississippi. And i saw this on the morning of the election. People would turn out and the polling place would be closed in the place where there were a lot of democratic voters and so the question then was okay. Do i drive. Do i spend another. You know forty five minutes in the car to go there and then wait in a really long line. There's all kinds of dirty tricks being played about closing polls switching where you're supposed to be telling people there in the wrong place even if the right place. I think if people really knew what was going on because it differs state by state and county by county. They would think know what. It's july fourth here. It's all about voting right. It's the most fundamental of rights. We had the boston tea party because we couldn't vote mirror getting taxed and it's kind of shocking that right now a lot of people don't have the same access to votes as other americans but but we certainly molly wouldn't be shocked by the supreme court decision in the direction of went. No i don't think so. I mean i think given that the way the way the court is composed and what you hear from a lot of conservatives to is that this decision was rather limited. It applied to a couple of specific situations To you know specifically votes in the wrong precinct and ballot harvesting It wasn't about closing polling places or a lot of the other things that have been alleged So in some quarters on the right. There's a feeling that the democrats are sort of hyperventilating about this But you know it obviously has implications for so many other cases that are being brought in so many other laws. That are being limit. Litigated across the and every speaking of democrats does this up. The pressure on moderate democrats. Like joe manchin. Kirsten cinema to push harder for new voting legislation. Or what well listen. This is definitely going to revive the conversation around eliminating the filibuster and for those democrats who've been wary of filibuster reform. This is going to be a confrontation to them. They're going to have to square their defense of a legislative body With the protection of voting rights. For american voters who are really at the heart of the democracy that they hold dear okay and we wanted to get a few final thoughts on this independence day from our roundtable and elza want to start with you. This is a day of celebrating our nation's independence. We've come so far a little more than a year ago. A quick assessment though of where you see us as a nation today a divided nation.

"His new book is the tyranny of Big Texas Justice Clarence Thomas and suggesting a footnote in recent case that he thinks that that may be a solution here would be to treat these companies public utilities that essentially they were created as open platforms. 18th. He doesn't get to cut off the line. Any time you say something that a teensy Doesn't like because they are in fact, a public utility, and they are platform there, not a editorial content board. Facebook has started to operate more like we're going to allow one aloud. What we don't want to allow just isn't allowed. The decision today is pretty astonishing in a few ways that was put out by the oversight board. They said, for example, that President Trump Could be suspended because he violated their rule. Quote prohibiting praise or support of people engaged in violence. Now would be one thing if they consistently held that standard, but I seem to remember an entire year in which Democratic politicians actively fomented. Act of violence in America's major cities and continue to foment the tremendous live in America systemically racist and during which members of the media actively compared people who were riding, including two members of the Boston Tea Party and suggested what they were doing was justified. So The problem with a lot of these. These big tech companies is not that they have double standards that the double standard really amounts to no standard. It's just a standard applied against one side. Exactly right, and they apply it whatever they want to been for any reason that they want to, which is another reason why Today's quote unquote decision by this board is a joke. I mean, it basically just says Facebook just does whatever it wants whenever it wants to. And it could do that, because it's a monopoly, you know. So hey, we just all have to live with it. My point is, I talk about this in the book. We don't have to live with it. We shouldn't have to live with it. He's kind, but he shouldn't have this kind of control over our politics over speech over our lives, and there's no reason to let them have this kind of control. Now. You mentioned Justice Thomas. He's been doing great work. In the text spaces room in a couple of really interesting opinions here just in the last year, talking about some of the legal problems with this, and he does talk about common carriers utilities as may be illegally, something that for courts at least Courts ought to be thinking about. Perhaps you know, he doesn't. He says he's thinking about this, but courts out of perhaps think about these platforms in this way. I think he's onto something there. I would say, though, that there's a difference between that and Congress actually legislating to turn these companies into public utilities to turn them into common carriers I need I just have to say, Ben, I'm hesitant about that. You know, I need to think on that more. But I'm hesitant that that is mega regulation of the monopoly is basically saying, Let's accept their monopoly status and let's just regulate the heck out of him. I kind of think that's what the Democrats would like to do. I think I think the Democrats would probably say yes. Well, we'll do that, and then we'll fight over what speech is acceptable. What's not what's equal time. What's not, so that makes me a little leery. What I'd prefer to do is just break up their concentrated power, break up the monopoly and get some real competition in there. But listen, this is a problem that we've got to think about a lot. I mean, there's a lot to unpack into thinking here what we cannot do. Just sit back and say, Well, you know, we'll just hope for the best, while Facebook and Google and Twitter just do whatever they want Virginia Senator Josh Halle. He's the senator from Missouri and his new book is the Tyranny of Big Tech. So Senator Holly Wanna go back to the cancelation of your book? So it is amazing. The media has the standard that if you are canceled by a company have not actually been canceled so long as an alternative. Is available, which defies any sort of logic. If a company refuses to do business with you, that company has canceled you technically speaking on even if you could go somewhere else That does not mean that you were not canceled by the original company. So what, exactly went down? Let's have an interest in what was their excuse for canceling this book, which Literally has nothing so far is somewhere to do with anything. January 6th related. Has absolutely nothing to do with January 6th and in terms of why they did what they did. All I know Ben is the is the press statement They put out they never contacted me directly. They never followed up with May and this is the company that commissioned the book. Keep in mind and I all I found that was what I read in the press. What they read in the press says that all the center Holly had a role in the violence in the riot. At the Capitol January six. That is absolutely false. I had nothing to do with the riot on January 6th. I was there. Of course, at the time I condemn the rioters as it was happening. It was the debate over the electoral college certification that I was participating in. That was interrupted, and I said at the time, if you commit acts of violence attacked cops storm federal buildings. Your criminal got to go to prison, and by the way, that's true, whether or not you're doing it at the Capitol in Washington, D C, where a federal building in Portland or anywhere else, for that matter, the less you know. Usual game is, as you just pointed out, They're fine with violence against cops. They're fine with violence that of all federal officers. They're fine with attacks on federal property. If it's the left, and if if it's for leftist causes, But if they could blame it on conservatives. Okay, well, then that's different. My view is it's never different. It's all the same. Violence is wrong. Political violence is illegal, and if you do it, you ought to go to jail. So it was just, you know, Simon and Schuster's rationale was a total lie. They knew it was there, just bowing to the woke Bob, and that's what I said. I refused to go along with this. I'm not going to pretend that this is a legitimate excuse. I'm gonna go out and find a different publisher. We're going to bring this thing to the press. And that's what we did already coming up against more with Senator Josh Holly first, Let's talk about the simple reality that if.

"You are of the left and you openly promote excuses for violence. If you are a person who promoted riots and looting throughout the summer. Or even if you said that those people shouldn't be doing that. But you understand why they're doing it. They're great people. They're patriots. I mean, there are people on CNN who compared to the Boston Tea Party, right? None of those people were removed. Only Trump was removed. You have to love what Trump said. To recognize that the standard that Facebook is holding here is completely unsustainable, because it's not a standard at all, and that these folks have way too much power in American life. Literally took the sitting president of the United States off the Internet. If you take somebody off of Facebook and Instagram and YouTube and Twitter, you have effectively destroyed their ability to disseminate information at all. That's the sitting president of the United States. So they say. Applying this penalty. Facebook did not follow a clear it published procedure. Indefinite suspensions are not described in the company's content policies. Facebook's normal penalties include removing the violating content, imposing a time down period of suspension or permanently disabling the page in account. His Facebook's role to create necessary and proportional penalties that response to severe violations of its content policies.

If you subscribe to PBS, you can watch it in better quality, but it's called the ascent of money s C E N T ascent of money. And it basically history of money. It's four episodes 45 minutes, it ZZ watch. But here's the thing that I got from it when I was watching it with her on day that is that Back in the day, you know where government bonds were invented was by King Louis of France, So he decided that he needed to build all kinds of palaces and you need to go to war with everybody, but didn't have the money for it. So he decided that you know they have is the Italians. The Medici has invented this thing called, you know, Borrowing credit, You know credit where bonds, but nobody had invented the idea that a government could actually borrow money from people. And so he said, You know what? I was brought on Earth. By God. You know King Louis. He was anointed by God He's and so he said, You know, I could pay back any debt. I am the perfect debt person because God is backing me. So I could borrow as much as I want, so he started borrowing and borrowing borrowing. Eventually, and he paid for all of his wars and his mansions. And you know the verse I and the whole deal. But then what happened was he eventually got to a point where the interest on the day he was borrowing. Was Maura than he could tax his people to pay for. And that's when the French revolution came. People said. No way the English did the same thing. They borrowed and borrowed and borrowed, and then they couldn't pay the interest on it, so they taxed and tax and taxed and guess what happened. We had the Boston Tea Party taxation without representation. We don't like being taxed the Germans back in, you know, World War one and before, same thing they borrowed and borrowed and borrowed. Eventually they got to a place where they had borrowed so much that the interest on the debt was more than they could tax their people. And when that happened, nobody wanted to lend the money anymore, and the whole house of cards came apart. So where are we in that in that spectrum. We're not there yet. Okay? Interest rates are like practically zero. So we could borrow a lot at this at these interest rates, but it can't go on forever. And it won't so you know, we'll keep you posted on that one.

On the Media
The power of the Black Lives Matter movement
"We in wave one wave to if there is a low dose that mark an end because we're gathering of strength these questions we ask about corona virus but what if we understood social movement moments in the same way the death of George Floyd and the uprisings that followed can seem like the birth of a new social movement and the new host of possibilities disbanding at the funding police departments commemorating Juneteenth ads addressing the on going silent apart taped the systemic racism woven through the society and everything from voting rights to healthcare urban planning it seems as sudden as a lightning strike Alan Kwabena Frimpong is an activist and consultant with ad astra collective which provides tools to build social movements he says the explosion was ignited by what his group calls a trigger event or several of them the killing of George Floyd the pandemic the previous extrajudicial killings of black people these events where we can no longer be complicit with the conditions of the status quo that way in and then once the triggering event unleashes this long accumulating rage comes the heroic phase everybody's on the streets anything seems possible which leads you say to a honeymoon right people believe anything is possible that we've been dreaming of that we would like to see in our world a future without police without jails and prisons now that not only seems possible it's becoming possible so we thought that with the disbandment of the Minneapolis police department but the vote that was taken by the city council and so if in this space that possibility can live and then history tells us the honeymoon inevitably ends leading to disillusionment contraction you call it the women's March and occupier quintessential examples and likewise the first wave of black lives matter what's happening with the disillusionment sets in any time during this period we think we've failed that when the cameras turn off when there's not as much attention to the issues and mass media or even in social media we think that the movement activity has somehow ended but it hasn't it's that what is required of us as shifted or it gets to share in this phase of the cycle and it's a time to build strategy and to build organization to find unity around the issues and to figure out the infrastructure needed to be able to create the visions of the world that we actually want to live in an analogy might be that you light the grill the flames jump out of the cattle so big you could get singed but then fifteen minutes later you come back and all you see is a heap of calls but underneath it is smoldering the cycle does seem to reflect at least American history going back to the Boston tea party these kind of waves that we've seen this country has dealt with since its inception when you invoke the Boston tea party that history a card with the backdrop of slavery and the removal of indigenous folks we have to understand our ways of rebellion and Ryan I'm here in Jersey New Jersey eighteen eighty four of you have black people riding here in Newark because of the erection of what was then the school system and how black people were being locked out of participation there are the strength of events in our history that lead to these moments so let's call this the the second wave of black lives matter does the same pattern still hold I mean if this is the second honeymoon should we expect marital reality to kick and with a second loss of energy why wouldn't we we still live in a culture that upholds capitalism mmhm and that holds white supremacy the fact that we have people still talking about the reform of a police state I think it's indicative of that what feels different indicates the value of corporations who want to put out statements saying black lives matter so yeah we're and if you want to call it a second wave of black lives matter but the reality is that as we've talked about before the construction phase we really will have to ask the deep question what will be required of aspen organizer activist members of our communities to ship the material conditions are you in the process of trying to manage expectations show how the cycle works and say we're not gonna leave the news for much longer be prepared to build networks and continue to organize continue to lobby what we will need to deal with in this contraction phase is what are going to beat the alternative institutions that people can look to that people can trust and that people can believe in that show that the path to the new normal that we deserve and to me what that looks like is worker owned cooperatives credit unions to me the control of our public safety health care for all public education accessible to all those things would need to change if we're asking for the abolishment of police because what it requires of us then is to change our relationships with each other and build community with each other and that's what we're going to need to prepare for as this contraction phase comes to life and the question becomes what we choose to do that work we choose to build with people in our neighborhoods we choose to depend on them and create modalities for our safety reeking of other institutions the show is called on the media and I want to ask you about us and I'm gonna go back to occupy to do it when the protesters vanished from the public parks and went home sometimes chased away by police we in the media seized on that extra this is a sign of the movement's failure because its goals were too quixotic it's politics too fragmented and so what is the contraction phase of the cycle reflected by or influenced by the media characterizations when people are not in the streets anymore and there there is in this huge spectacle what is there left to cover America is so infatuated with the spectacle of its own violence and the trauma that ensues from may the disillusionment in the contraction of the cycle I think is a representation of what we tend to be stuck in in terms of our own habits we enjoyed the trauma of the story of the victim the perpetrator and the savior and the way we tell our views as from that have been jewel norm if so what would it look like to shift away from that and perhaps tell news that connects the dots then tells a much more nuanced and complex story that the viewers or listeners deserve to hear where people can actually show authentic stories about what is going on from a place that is moving for people that shift something for them that doesn't truncate in flag in their lives and to just these one dimensional identities there's a lot of what media frames and that then leads to some of the assumptions that get made about whatever happened to the much as whatever happens to the people organizing the rally is people are still doing that work but it may look different we in the media have focused on the tip of the iceberg the protests of the violence the repercussions but you have been talking of what's going on beneath the networks of people building power over time the organization what do you think we can do to tell the story of protest better folks in the media need to ask themselves why do we feel compelled to tell these stories in these ways what do we believe about our audience about what they're ready to hear and what they're ready to listen to we can then have a conversation about whether the human stories that need to be shared that connect the dots people think that somehow Minneapolis was just able to do this overnight but they have been in a protracted struggle for years to get to this point if media where to tell the stories of what it took to get there that would be a different kind of conversation that has different kinds of implications and the time that it would take to tell those stories with me the focus of the story is not just around making a profit but we would actually have to honor people's time contributions much differently than the ways that we do right now are they willing to shift as an industry to live into the kind of lives that these movements are demanding in the clearing for
Long Distance
Larry Itliong and the Great Delano Grape Strike
"When I moved to America I was a sophomore and one of the first classes I took in high school was US history. My teacher was weird. We had what he called open book tests so we didn't really have to study and he played movies during those tests. One time I think it was pirates of the Caribbean. This teaching style was so different than what I was used to back home. But that wasn't what struck me the most. It's that when we got to the part of American history set in the Philippines there was just one paragraph in our history book less than half a page dedicated to this period of American imperialism. I think that paragraph mentioned Emilio Aguinaldo who became the first president of the Philippines and the acquisition of the Philippines by the US from Spain in eighteen ninety eight. Let's it nothing in those pages talked about the bloody Philippine American war. There was no mention of the American occupation that took place for almost half a century in definitely didn't talk about Filipinos who came to America during this time not as immigrants but as nationals subjects of American empire the generation of monotones who are promised with the riches of the American dream. But who face the harsh realities of American life instead? I mean when we think about the history of the United States we say oh Boston. The Boston Tea Party. We all learn. It is White America. That's Gail Roma Santa. A writer and publisher who is the CO author of journey for Justice? A new book the chairs the story of a Filipino American labor organizer and Community Leader Left. Outta most American history textbooks the tough-talking man with a moustache glasses and sometimes cigar. Larry Leon. He was an is a Filipino. American leader who united Filipino Americans and other ethnicities Gayle Co wrote for justice with her friend. The late professor and historian Don Shula. Noma Balan- you might remember her from episodes one and two of this podcast. They both grew up in Stockton California and they didn't learn about their cities rich Filipino history until they went away to college. It's why they wrote the book. This book needs to be in schools and in libraries in the hands of our families and our caregivers so that they can say oh. I was part of American history. Obviously I didn't learn about Larry Leong in high school. I don't think I even heard about him in college. And I took Asian American studies yet. Too many Larry. It long is a Filipino. American civil rights hero a leader in that first generation of Filipinos in America and even in the diaspora he led the Delano grape strike. And people don't really know what that means and that really is a point where we had so many Filipinos and their jobs were jeopardy and they had so much to lose. Nobody had health insurance major resources. They didn't have any political clout. They were migrant farm workers on this episode chapter in American history. We should learn about in school. The story of Larry Leon and the great Delano grape strike pivotal moment in the American farm worker movement. Most people have heard that Mexican American labor leaders Cesar Chavez and Dolores. Horta were a big part of this not a lot of folks know that it was Larry it Leong and the Filipino farmworkers. Who Kick started the whole thing in the first place?
