San Francisco Board Open to Reparations With $5M Payouts
"Liberal city that never allowed slavery considers 5 million per black person reparations plan. San Francisco's board of supervisors is meeting Tuesday to review a proposal that those over $5 million east to qualify black residents and reparations as a way to make amends for slavery. Let me just tell you all this and I hope this is very clear. There is no making amends for slavery. There is none. I don't even to be honest, I don't even think there needs to be. I honestly believe this with my whole heart. You know, slavery was wrong. Slavery was normal back then. Today, it is the most barbaric thing you can ever imagine that somebody's enslaved. We can not compare morality today to morality back then. It was what it was. I don't understand why America owes anybody who was a slave in this country reparations. The prevailing Victor in the civil rights movement. I mean, I civil rights movement, but in the Civil War was the prevailing party, the prevailing side that did not own slaves. What are we even talking about at this point?

Why Does Jane Fonda Want to Murder Pro-Lifers?
"So Jane Fonda was a really big deal for years and she's obviously lesser now. Not exactly as well known to the younger generation, but an attempt to try to make herself seem relevant again, Jane Fonda went on the view. And said some things that were so extraordinary, so over the top, it really makes you it really makes you just kind of look twice at it. Now mind you, she's been an activist her whole life. She's been involved. She said she was in support of the civil rights movement, but she most famously visited Hanoi in 1972 and sat inside of a North Vietnamese double-A gun, gun used to shoot at American jets. Who is it? It's an anti air gun. Thank you, because I was like, how do you sit inside of a gun? It was an anti air weapon. During that visit, she accused the United States of systematically targeting Vietnam's Dyke system to cause flooding and cause massive civilian casualties. This was not true. That is, that's Jane Fonda, and you could be considered a traitor for that. She's been at the center of so much political activism and controversy and it's interesting. She considers herself a big feminist. Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem and all these people were considered to be really big feminists yet she's very quiet on the fact that men are now able to continue their quote unquote terror campaign against women. She said that oil executives and politicians who don't support climate change agenda should be treated like Nancy war criminals. But she's really trying to outdo herself here. Let's play cut one 18 of Jane Fonda on the view, like cut one 18. Many decades now of having agency over our body of being able to determine when and how many children to have. We know what that feels like. We know what that's done for our lives. We're not going back. I don't care what the laws are. Besides besides marking and protesting, what else do you suggest? It's not a miraculous or did you say? Murder. She's kidding. Wait a second. She's just. Don't say that. You don't know. They'll pick up on that and just kidding. Well, let me talk to you about that. What's most troubling about that clip is how the audience laughs. When she says they should kill us. And she looks like she's not kidding. Jane Fonda's a very angry person. So let's take this apart. So Jane Fonda says we know what having agency over our bodies has given us. What has it given you, Jane Fonda? You're a very angry and bitter person.

Biden's Selma visit puts spotlight back on voting rights
"President Biden today travels to Selma, Alabama, to pay tribute to those who took part in the 1965 civil rights protest that came to be known as bloody Sunday. As he's done in years past, President Biden will join thousands for the annual commemoration of a gripping moment in the civil rights movement. March 7th, 1960 500s of peaceful demonstrators walking to protest the fatal shooting of a black man by police, brutally beaten by Alabama law enforcement. Joe Biden ten years ago at the Edmund Pettis bridge. When we saw. Was intrigued. Hostility and prejudice coming face to face with on dogs and courage. Leaders in Selma are hoping President Biden today will also address tornado damage from a January storm that is laid bare issues surrounding poverty. I'm Jackie Quinn

Amber Athey: Everything About Joe Biden Is Phony
"He continues to get a pass from the left on this really serious issue these false claims of being a civil rights activist My humble opinion I think it's his most disgusting character trait Everything about Joe Biden is phony The entire persona whether it's this question of getting involved in the civil rights movement which has been repeatedly proven to be alive whether it's his graduation from prestigious Institutes of higher learning where he apparently plagiarized his way through his claim that he's a champion for the working class when all of his policies do the exact opposite And one that really personally bothers me much like the civil rights claim bothers you is this perception that Joe Biden is the empath and chief when his version of doing that is basically trying to for lack of a better term mansplain grief to people who are in the throes of it He constantly uses you know obviously the tragic death of his son is basically a way to prevent criticism He has spoken to gold star families who have lost their family members actually in war and has essentially tried to say that his son Beau died in battle Obviously his death is horrible He died from cancer that was presumably due to bird pits but it's not the same as what he's talking to these families about And as someone who's gone through really difficult grief with losing my dad to hear someone tell you I understand what you're going through is one of the most infuriating statements you can actually hear when you're going through that process And the fact that the media acts like Joe Biden should be heralded for his approach to talking to people about their issues is disgusting

"You have thought that if ever there was going to be a moment when massive open online courses were going to take off, the pandemic would have been it. And they did at first, companies that offer those courses reported huge spikes in enrollment as people took classes in technical drawing and philosophy and Adobe illustrator and a zillion other things. Some of those companies were able to raise more funding. Others actually went public. Now though, things are not so boomy. One of the companies, you deem me, says it's cutting 10% of its workforce. Another Coursera let go some employees last fall. Marketplace is Stephanie Hughes looks at the massive online courses market. 59 year old retired engineer Steve Meyer has taken half a dozen massive online courses. Use it or lose it. It's a way to keep your marbles. Mayer also wants to help others keep their marbles. He works now as a massage therapist in Silicon Valley and sees many older adults, some who have dementia, so he took an online class in neuroscience to learn about stimulating nerves. He says, all the classes have been free. Never paid. The online platforms likely hope he eventually does take a course that costs money. In the meantime, these companies are bringing in money from corporate clients. Looking to upskill their workforce. So Steven Sheldon, an analyst with the bank William Blair. They want businesses to pay for this at scale for all of their employees. Neuroscience classes for all, or a management course. Or ukulele class, just as a morale booster. Thing is, says Sheldon, many of these businesses see a possible recession in the future, and? One of the areas that can get cut in that environment is the learning and development budget. And when corporate clients make cuts, that puts the squeeze on these online learning platforms. And is likely why we're seeing the layoffs from Houdini and Coursera. I think both need to show a path to not necessarily being highly profitable in the near term. But at least show that they can get to that break-even point. Went upside, online training has become integral to corporate culture. Jason Selena is an equity research analyst for KeyBank capital markets and says this is a big shift. So they send you somewhere for two weeks and you're expected to learn it. Within the boundaries of a 9 to 5 and I think during the pandemic that really accelerated the online shift.

"This is marketplace. Later this year, August late August, actually, we're going to mark the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, and the famous speech by doctor king, the speech about the dream, yes, and equality, but if you go back and read it really, it's a speech about how this economy back then and this is true even now, actually, about how this economy often willfully leaves black Americans behind. The economic vision of the civil rights movement often gets lost. So we've gotten doctor Robin D G Kelly on the phone. He's a Professor of American history at UCLA to talk things over. Doctor Kelly, thanks for coming on. My pleasure. A lot of the conversation most of the conversation I think about the civil rights movement is about it as a political movement and as a social justice movement. Could you in the first opening minute of this interview? Give us the background of the civil rights movement as a labor and economic movement, please. Right. Well, the civil rights movement was always an economic movement because legalized segregation was an economic system. It determined wages determined job classifications that determined where people can live. It even determined where you can go to school and one of the big issues that was raised was desegregation, desegregation was intended to end practices like taking black people's tax money to subsidize wide education. And finally, the black community was a labor community. And it's not an accident that southern labor unions discriminated, but black labor organizations fought for the right to equal wages, access to housing, and fair rents, that sort of thing. What happened though at the national level to make the civil rights movement and I don't know, you tell me, I don't know whether it was a conscious shift or something happened, but it became less economic justice and more political and social rights. I actually don't think that the civil rights I don't think the civil rights movement ever left that agenda. I think an element of it and I could illustrate it. Go ahead. So if we think of the civil rights movement as extending well into the 1970s and 80s, then we have to consider the national welfare rights organization as civil rights, fighting to extend welfare rights and for basic income. And we have to remember, Coretta Scott King, after her husband was killed, took up the fight for full employment, full employment was one of the most important civil rights agenda items. And they got the passage of the Humphrey Hawkins full employment act. But what happened was that some of these initiatives died, they died when corporate interests and the Federal Reserve and members of both political parties agreed that the problem facing the economy was wage inflation inflation. Exactly. And wage inflation meant you solve it by crushing labor unrest. You solve it by reducing wages. And then it enabled companies to seek out cheaper labor outside the country. So I don't know if I could say that the labor movement or rather the labor agenda completely disappeared, what did happen, though, and one of the most tragic stories, I think, in all of this. Is that some black elected officials took a stand, it was very opposite of what doctor king stood for. I mean, one example, doctor king died in Memphis, fighting on behalf of sanitation workers. A decade later, mayor Jackson, who was very close to doctor king, was mayor of Atlanta, and he faced a sanitation worker strike. And what did he do? He broke the union. And he got the backing of the antibiotic, and even doctor king's father, who ironically called the union outside agitators. And that was a foreboding of what was to come. The civil rights movement betrayed its agenda, you know? That's such an interesting package. The whole thing about or passage rather, the whole thing about Coretta Scott King and Humphrey Hawkins and the thing that we talk about in this program all the time. The fed chair going up to do a Humphrey Hawkins testimony and how did all become about wage inflation? Let me ask you about something else you said though, which is that the civil rights movement extends in the 70s and 80s. You just talked about Maynard Jackson and his role in civil rights in Atlanta and what he did in the sanitation strike there. Do you think there is a connection between the civil rights movement in this country of the 50s and 60s? And what is happening now in this country? There is the inheritor of the economic justice agenda of civil rights. I would argue is the poor people's campaign led right now by bishop William barber and reverend Liz still Harris. They are leading a campaign calling for, again, basic income, the restoration of welfare and really solving the problem of poverty through the redistribution of wealth. Let me ask you a slightly different and perhaps a more pejorative way. If you'll bear with me. So the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s in this country and look, I've only seen it in newsreels as have you, and I'm sure most people. It seemed to be ever present in the news. I don't think the poor people's campaign has that presence in the national conversation. Granted the national conversation now is diffuse in many more ways. But I guess you were so you were so right about that. And so does the movement now suffer from that. Well, the reason we don't see the poor people's campaign is because we are saddled with an understanding of the economy that's based on growth. And that is, you know, that wasn't a civil rights agenda. That's the antithesis of what doctor king imagine when he said we need a revolution in values away from profit motives and property rights. He made the speech in 1967. He says, you know, true compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that the edifice which produces beggars needs to be structuring. That is, that is the basic premise of the current poor people's campaign, which goes against the basic premise of all the economic reporting, except for your show. But all the economic reporting we get is about how do we grow the economy based on the current edifice, not restoring what we used to call it social wage. Doctor Robin DG Kelly is a Professor

"It'll be a year tomorrow that Russia went to war in Ukraine. Not really arguably at all, the biggest shock to the global economy all year. Metals oil and gas and food, it affected everything. Ukraine has for decades been known as the breadbasket of Europe. More recently, though, it's more like the breadbasket of the world because grain from Ukraine and parts of Russia make its way all over into the Middle East and sub Saharan Africa in particular. But that trade has suffered in the war, and that is making food insecurity worse in a lot of developing countries, including Egypt. Marketplaces Samantha fields reports. So often. Every Saturday, Islam sabri spends his mornings selling bread at an upscale market in Cairo. And I have multigrain the multigrain is white flour, whole wheat flour, oats and lenses. Fabri has been baking and selling artisanal bread out of his apartment for a decade. Should I slice it? No. During the week, he delivers bread on his motorbike, and on Saturdays he comes to this market. In the last year, it's been getting harder for him to make a living selling bread in Cairo. Because of the economy problems and wars and stuff around the world, it's very, very hard to get flour. Egypt is one of dozens of countries where it's gotten harder and more expensive to get weak ever since Russia invaded Ukraine. In Cairo these days, sabri can usually find the local Egyptian flower he uses. But he says it's more than twice as expensive as it was a year ago. And the imported flowers he needs to make certain kinds of bread, he often can't find at all now. Yes, because it's very much hard to find this way. Russia and Ukraine combined produced more than a quarter of the world's wheat exports. So when Russia invaded prices skyrocketed, fuel and fertilizer prices did too. In places like the Middle East and Lebanon, Egypt Somalia and regions where they rely heavily on imports. It was devastating. Jada McKenna is CEO of the global humanitarian organization mercy corps. She says it was particularly devastating because the war came at a time when many countries and people just didn't have the capacity to deal with another economic shock. Even before the war in Ukraine began, the food situation was precarious for millions of people around the world after two years of the pandemic affecting supply chains. If the war had been the only thing disrupting those supply chains maybe would have been a little bit better. But arif Hussain at the UN World Food Program says on top of COVID and climate change and conflicts in other regions. It made things so, so, so difficult. Not for one or two countries, but literally for dozens of countries. In dozens of countries in the last year, he says food prices have risen at least 15%. In some, including Egypt, they're up about 50%, and in a few food prices have doubled. Now right now we are in the very dangerous situation. The number of people going hungry around the world has been rising steadily ever since the pandemic began, Hussein says, and has just gotten worse since the war started. I like to say that when World Food Program sets records, it does not bode well for the world. And for the last three years, we have been setting records year after year. At this point, a year into the war, global prices of food commodities fuel and fertilizer have come down some, but Hussein says they're still higher than they were before the pandemic. So if you're a country and you're dealing with this, or if you're a person, you're dealing with this, you're purchasing power. It's totally slashed. How are you? How's everything? Very good. This is my business. In Cairo, Islam sabri, the baker says he knows he's doing a lot better than many. But everything feels hard with so much inflation. I don't have money savings or anything valuable only my hands and my bakery. He spends a lot of time and energy these days calling vendors trying to find flour, and often he can't get enough. Hello. I actually pulled out today. I get so many orders, but I can't make it because I don't have. And I can't find it anywhere. So I lost so many customers. Sabri estimates he's lost about 20% of his income, and all of his expenses have kept rising. Getting by here because I still have to pay it and life expenses very, very hard because I also still have to face that everything got increased around me like more than double

Alex McFarland and Eric Discuss the Subject of Natural Law
"We're talking about everything and you said people need to attend to the life of the mind. I mean, I think it was something that we did in this culture for most of our history, people had to understand the basics of how things work, what is liberty? What is right and wrong? How do you get right and wrong? And you were talking earlier about what Lewis C. S. Lewis calls the Dow this inherent sense that every human being has, this conscience of between right and wrong. We all know it. You don't need to be a baptized Christian to know that stealing and murder are wrong. And it brings us maybe to the subject of natural law. The genius legal scholar Hadley Arcus has written a book coming out in a few months called mere natural law. That God's law right and wrong is that the basis of everything. You can not have a constitution unless you understand these things that precede whatever is written in the constitution. Do you know doctor Martin Luther King Jr. predicated the entire validity of the civil rights movement on natural law? If you read his 1963 Pulitzer Prize winning book while we can't wait, brilliant book, by the way, and he quotes Augustine Aquinas in letter from the Birmingham jail. He basically appeals to natural law that we're all human beings, regardless of our ethnicity, we're humans. And if one human has natural rights, all humans have natural rights. Now, Jefferson two, when he used the words in the declaration, we all these truths to be self evident. That all endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. That's natural law.

"Talk about another lesson that you write about in the book is this idea that the Black Lives Matter movement, you know, the current iteration was all about decentralized leadership. That wasn't exactly built for longevity. Now, look, and I interviewed Alicia Garza in 2020 in the midst of the historic protests that summer. And she was trying to argue that the Black Lives Matter movement didn't need a leader. And obviously, there have been a lot of leaders who have not been that effective or have, you know, it's gone to their head or their abused their authority, and it's been too male. It's been too white. Not obviously in the black movement, but there are all kinds of reasons historically to point fingers at past leaders, but what I think history shows is effective social movements require both things. They require grassroots energy and people boots on the ground, but also leadership from the top. Smart, strategic, clear, clear in the messaging, and also I would argue selfless. And I think when you look back at doctor king, when you look back at Malcolm X, you see leaders who had everything I'm talking about, but also we're not in it for themselves and who showed that to their followers. And I would argue that, you know, unfortunately, since those two men all too often, the leaders that the media fixates on haven't always sort of shown that ability Vis-à-vis their followers to really show that. They're not in it for themselves. They're not in it for the money or the glory or the publicity that they really just are men and women of the people.

"Yes. The geographic north. And so talk about the geographic divide that is now revealed in 1966. Yeah, so this is another thing that really changes that year, which is essentially the battlefronts shift to the north. You know, until then, as you mentioned, all of the major civil rights battles and fights that we remember had happened in the south and Birmingham and Selma and Montgomery, all of a sudden, you know, you have king himself trying to take the movement north to Chicago. You have a Stokely Carmichael who had grown up in New York, taking over SNCC. And then you have the panther party Huey Newton and Bobby seale and Eldridge Cleaver starting the panther party in Oakland, California on the West Coast. Now, what was significant about this generation? One, they were less rooted in the church and in sort of deferential southern culture, frankly, than. But they also were children of the Great Migration. This, this, this historic exodus, their parents and grandparents had come from the south to the north, expecting a better life expecting to get jobs, access to housing, and so forth. And for most of them, you know, those dreams had been shattered, and they had ended up in neighborhoods, urban neighborhoods in the north that became more and more segregated and more and more depressed. And so they weren't really buying king's idea that white America was ready for integration because their parents had come north expecting to find that and had found the opposite. And in fact, as Isabel wilkerson notes in her fantastic book, the warmth of other sons with 6 million African Americans over a generation leaving the south and going to the north. So at the start, we play that real leading into our interview and there was Stokely Carmichael leading that black power chant.

"His nemesis. In fact, on a personal level, they got along quite well. They had a lot of affection for each other. The problem, as far as doctor king was concerned was that Stokely was speaking for not just for himself, but for a restlessness about both the aims and the tactics of the previous generation of civil rights leaders. That, you know, I think king would have had to contend with no matter who the spokesman was. You know, as I hear you talk about the real behind the scenes relationship between doctor king and mister Carmichael, it brought me back to, I remember a while back, someone years ago, someone wrote a book about the relationship between doctor king and Malcolm X and how as the two got older, they were when they were younger, they were here, but as they got older, they started meeting in the middle. Would you say that the relationship between king and X is sort of mirrored in the relationship between king and Carmichael? Well, the difference in your referring to the book by my good friend pineal Joseph scholar at University of Texas, I recommend that book highly. Yes, well, the difference was that actually king and Malcolm X only met once. Doctor king and Stokely knew each other quite well, they knew each other even before 1966, Stokely had actually chauffeured him around when it came down. South, well, Stokely was an organizer, an organizer there. But look, I mean, the fascinating thing about doctor king was. So up until 1965, he's the undisputed leader of the civil rights movement. He has a Nobel Prize. He has all of these sort of victories under his belt as it were. You referred to them earlier. And then in 1966, not only does he have to deal with stronger white resistance to all the gains that he had made, a president, Lyndon Johnson, who felt unappreciated for the things that he had done. And also was angry at king for his opposition to the Vietnam War, but for the first time he has serious, if not opposition, criticism from within the civil rights movement from this new black power generation. And he spends the last two years of his life until 1968, as you said, dealing with this sort of being attacked from both sides. You know, you write in the book about a Carmichael and what he felt. What he thought about the death, the assassination of Malcolm X and you write Carmichael also sends immediately that Malcolm's death wasn't a loss only for black America.

House sitting on the water. $25 million house. They still do an insurance loans. On these multi-million dollar houses sitting on the water that if you listen to Al Gore, it should have been on the water by now. If the banks stopped giving loans and properties on beach fronts, then I would say, yeah, okay, global warming may be real. Something may be happening. But until then, miss me with that stuff. And my opinion, people who had a genuine concern who wanted to know is burning fossil fuel into the sky, CO2 emission is that causing conflict or not, genuine question. It went from that to a money grab. And I argued the same thing with the civil rights movement that we talked about yesterday. It went from legitimately wondering our black people being disenfranchised. Are the things that we're doing in our country that are counterproductive and not fair to everybody. They took that genuine concern and they went off a cliff with it.

A Justice Denied in the Black Community
"This is what I want us to consider. Of course I have my own opinions about Martin Luther King and I think that I'm starting to really doubt if he was if that was his dream or that was a Marxist leftist white liberals dream. But I see the parallel today, I see the parallel. And it's kind of ironic because after the civil rights movement, it seems like black people begin to do worse. And the trajectory became worse. I mean, even to this day, there is a profitability in victimhood. Profitability in victimhood. I just, I've seen it, I've seen a hundred times. I was watching the documentary just the other night on the rapper Lil Baby. I think his name is Lil Baby. The baby. No, it's a little baby. I said, let me see what little baby, 'cause some of these rappers ain't as bad as they look or they rap about. Sometimes you see them and you're like, oh man, they got a good story man. He's got a good heart. I get it. So I'm looking at little baby. And my thoughts are running crazy. And shame and guilt begins to overshadow me. Because of, and when I say overshadow me, shame and guilt for the black community begin to overshadow me. They made a documentary about this rapper and I think his story is quite unique. But in the documentary, they cry about the white man. And they talk about injustice. Because Lil Baby went to prison for like two years. But in the same sentence, they're saying this injustice in the system and white supremacy, yet they're bragging about the fact that Lil Baby was a hustler making over millions of $1 million millions of dollars selling dope in the community. He was a hustler. He was a drug dealer. He was making millions of dollars selling dope to his own people. You said in the millions of dollars worth of dope, you know what I mean, people have died because of the adult, that little baby sold them? In the black community, not the white folks in the black community. But then they go on and talk about the white man in social justice, but then they brag about how he was making millions selling dope to his own people.

This show is going to be hot, so make sure you're ready and prepared. It makes you sitting down. I believe that Martin Luther King wasn't who we think he is, or he was. I think that the media has really recreated a scenario that's very similar to what they've done with the narrative of police brutality in America, the same narrative of Black Lives Matter. I mean, I'm telling you guys, I'm telling you, in 20 years, we're going to look back and they're going to say that Black Lives Matter was an organization that inspired change. It was the new civil rights movement. They're going to tell you that black people were getting gunned down in the middle of the street on by white racist police officers. And it was an epidemic. And that if it wasn't for people like Patrice Kohler's, then Byron Manson white neighborhoods that we would still be suffering from the effects of white racism.

Fine, fair enough. Why not Biden? No, well, the Biden's different. He meant well. He what do you mean he meant well? People would get sprayed with fire hoses and attacked by dogs. To fight for the dignity of every human being, regardless of their skin color. Biden was not and yet claims he was. What do you mean that's just like a mistake? Oh, he forgot he wasn't being bitten by dogs or sprayed by fire hose. He just missed that part of his life? Here, CNN. Fact check, a look at Biden's first year in false claims. When Biden said in his voting rights speech last week that he'd been arrested in the context of the civil rights movement, even suggesting it happened more than once, this is CNN. It was a classic Biden false claim. An anecdote about his past, for which there's no evidence, prompted by a decision to ad lib rather than stick to a prepared text, resulting in easily avoidable questions about his honesty. You think? Can you listen, I've been backstage with numerous presidents, okay? There's a prompter. You'd be surprised how many times they go off the prompter. You can tell. Because what'll happen is if you're doing so say there's two guys posted out in front of the president. He's given a speech or the guys on stage, you know, the glasses on whatever your hands out there two agents. If the speech is really long, sometimes there'll be a push schedule, a break scare, where you'll go in and you'll give a guy a break. So what they'll typically say is they'll ask the staff. How long is the speech? Oh, it's an hour. So give me a marker. Why would he starts talking about the Brooklyn Bridge? That's a half an hour in. You guys can post up a different agent. So what will happen is you're backstage and you're reading the prompt their speech. This is how I know all this. And you're looking for the line about the Brooklyn Bridge. You'd be stunned how many times these guys go off the script. Trump used to do it often. Trump just do the script out though, when they never stuck to the script at all. George W kind of stayed close to the script. The thing about Biden is they try to keep Biden closely tailored to the script because whenever he goes off the strip, a script. He says something crazy. Yeah, it was arrested. It was beaten up, going to see Nelson Mandela. You understand, Joe, you've told this story before. Can someone stop him, please? The next time he's in the middle of one of these fantastic tales, he tells, and please, sir, sir, sir. You know who we need? Dude, come on, get that up. We need Leslie stall to stop him. Leslie stall from 60 minutes. We definitely need her to be in the crowd

Dinesh Examines the Turmoil in Brazil
"Remarkable events in Brazil started just a couple of days ago in what might seem like a startling parallel to January 6th, January 6th of 2021. You had thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Brazilians, storming the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the seat of the presidency, which is the plan alto palace. And all of this occurred in a remarkable way seems to have taken the authorities by surprise, now over the subsequent 48 hours, the protesters, the objectors have been evacuated, apparently there have been about a thousand arrests, and it seems that Brazil's political situation is in flux. Now, there have been lots of people in America who are looking at the Brazilian situation purely through the lens of American politics. Now, we have a tendency to do this and it is, it is a tendency that should at least be somewhat resisted, or we should be cautious about. Why? Because things that are going on inside the United States often have a vocabulary and an understanding that doesn't really apply at least not applying quite the same way. Even when we use terms like Islamic fundamentalism. It's a little misleading because fundamentalism is a movement inside of Protestant Christianity. A kind of return to fundamentals in the wake of the 19th century movements of biblical criticism and the challenging of the literal truths of the Bible, what's going on in Islam is quite different from that. Or even I remember doing the 1980s when there was a debate going on in South Africa over apartheid. I would see analyses of those that interpret them exclusively through the lens of the civil rights movement. And that's partially right. I mean, obviously there was a form of apartheid itself as a form of segregation, but not in the same way as in the American south. And not with the same underlying premises or institutions.

"To think, as you're saying, there are numerous. And so there's no single thing that sparks the civil rights movement. And obviously it's a right to initiated years before World War II. And so it's something that really takes place over the entirety of the 20th century. But if I were to point to things from World War II, I think some of the things that are important are the kind of training that black Americans receive during the war, that kind of discipline and really encourage under fire that black Americans had black veterans had when they came back. They spoke to that and said, this made them more comfortable and more confident to face the kind of combat situations. They were going to have to face particularly in the south. It gave them the understanding that these were long-term challenges that had to be faced. It took persistence and logistical training to get groups of organized to fight these sites over years and years. A lot of them crowded that to the military. And the other thing in terms of training baker who I mentioned previously, that kind of grassroots organizing that she helped to instill was crucially important. When we think about the civil rights movement, it's important not to think just about the kind of figureheads like Martha king junior, but it was really the everyday people particularly black women in communities all across the country who were the backbone of the foundation of the civil rights movement. And so that kind of training that Ella baker instilled coupled with the kind of military train that a lot of black men and women received through the military.

The Queering Weapon With James Lindsay
"You're talking about a seminal paper that helps us understand the queering weapon, what is that paper? It's called thinking sex by Gail Rubin. It was published in 1984. It's considered the first paper and queer theory. And just to draw up some of the themes that she discusses in this paper, one of the themes that Rubin discusses in this paper is that child pornography being taken on, which was being taken on in the 80s in a real way. That's a moral panic. Same language we hear today about anything that gets challenged, so child pornography should be something that's allowed within contexts, at least she argues. And cross generational sexual relationships she calls them. Those should be protected, wearing fetish wear to work so that you can bring your whole self to work as we would say today. So now we find what's going on at Twitter. We find out we see what's going on with the trust and safety chief. We see what's going on with the same printing character. All passaged in this 1984 paper all coming true because queer theory has been very successful at latching itself on very much like a parasite onto the side of the LGBT civil rights movement and has pushed its agenda to the point now where we have this manifesting at The White House being put out in White House advertisements heading huge platforms like Twitter and other social media and who knows what else. So they've been very successful at pushing their agenda into the culture, but it was written down decades ago quite explicitly what their agendas and goals were. And it was a great deal of things that are perverse and dangerous. And in the case of the nuclear waste guy, you can tell, I mean, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this guy was going to be trouble.

Protester Attacks Herschel Walker With Racial Slur
"Even in the state of Georgia, where Herschel Walker has come under attack yesterday, one of the most heinous things I have ever heard where a far leftist protester interrupted a Herschel Walker event and used the N word called him a house inward. This is how the left treats people, understand this, I believe that the most racist people in America are not the white supremacist. It's the Democrat party. The party of the KKK. When you go back in history, you don't see the Democrats having this moment where they stand up and they confess their sinful racist ways, and they repent of it. They've never repented of it. Because the Democrats, they want the black vote. They want the power. It's always been like that. Going back to the civil rights movement, it was the Democrats, the Democrat party that stood in the way of eradicating Jim Crow laws. It was the Democrat party that stood in the way of the Civil Rights Act. It's been the Democrat party all along, as a matter of fact, when you look at the reason why Planned Parenthood was created, it was created for horrific for horrifying racist plans. To eradicate black babies.

Not White Supremacy, But 'Light' Supremacy
"I don't know if you're familiar with the controversy in Los Angeles where several members of the city council and in fact a labor union leader. They were talking on a series of calls. I guess they were Zoom calls or some sort of conference calls. And there were all kinds of racial epithets used. Racial epithets against blacks in one case, a reference to Jews and they were talking about a state assembly member named Richard Katz, talking about how the Jews have made a deal with south Los Angeles at one point the council president Nouri Martinez was obviously Hispanic. She's now resigned, but she referred to a colleague's who was black, his son, as she compared him to a monkey. And then talking about another guy, she goes, F that guy. He's with the blacks. Now, all of this erupted several days ago. And I was kind of watching it with interest to see what kind of sense people would try to make of it. Well, here's Charles blow, the African American columnist for The New York Times, a revealing racist rant in LA. Now, here's Charles blows take on this episode. And he goes into it in some detail. He says that this is what he calls not white supremacy, but light supremacy. And his point is that you have lighter skinned people who are not white, in this case, obviously, Hispanic, but he goes, they are, they are kind of borrowing the racism of the whites. And allying with white supremacy against their darker skinned black colleagues. So according to Charles blow, he's like, at one time in the civil rights movement, we had kind of hoped that there would be an alliance of all the minorities to overthrow white supremacy. He goes, it's not really working out that way,

Merrick Garland's DOJ Arrests 11 Pro-Life Activists
"Biden DoJ, the Merrick Garland DoJ has been really going after activist pro lifers. And in a recent arrest, they've arrested 11 pro life activists and charged them with violating the so called face act, the face act as the freedom of access to clinic entrances act. It was a law that passed that basically said that people can not block or interfere with the provision of reproductive healthcare, which is basically abortion. And these pro life activists, I mean, some of them, of course, just stand outside a clinic with signs, but there are others that are more activists that their job or their goal is to talk people out of getting an abortion. Now this is not to say that they that they commit any kind of violence on the contrary, what they're trying to do is a sort of disrupt the functioning of the clinic by using a human blockade. And by the way, these are tactics picked directly out of the civil rights movement. And number two, try to talk to people who are heading into get an abortion and persuade them not to. So that's their goal. Now, in 2021, a group of pro life activists did a blockade of an abortion clinic in Juliet, Tennessee. They obviously were thought they were doing something good. And they broadcasted on Facebook. This was a kind of a live action as they call it. And now a whole bunch of these people. In fact, some of them a couple of them are young, but one of them Eva eddy or adult is 87 years old. She was part of it. She's been arrested. So you've got all these people who are arrested and supposedly, there are arrested for blocking people from providing reproductive

The Legacy of Booker T Washington
"Let me get back to the point that I was making about the civil rights movement. This is something that I think people always think I'm crazy when I say this. But Uncle Tom two lays it out very succinctly. And I bet Uncle Tom three would have even more information to validate what I'm saying here. I feel like if the trajectory was as such, and this is what Booker T. Washington was all about. Versus WB Dubois, which is always the conflict. It's like today's black conservatives versus the black liberal. That's pretty much what the dynamic was. And so Booker T. Washington was always under the assumption or under the impression that you will do better if you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you become a productive person, giving people no excuse not to hire you and to put you in a forefront and give you opportunities. You don't big people for opportunities. You make them give you opportunities. How do you make them give you opportunities? You don't go and protest and they face all day and cry and lay in the middle of the roadway. What you do is you create value in yourself. Booker T. Washington was always for great education, being educated and formed having a skill. If you have those things, nothing can deny you success in America. And I believe black people, a lot of black people at the time had that trajectory. You got the Booker T. Washington came from slavery. We got people today that literally living with a silver spoon in their mouth and they crying about racism. You got back in the day, people used to come out of slavery and generate wealth to create universities. The tuskegee university. And I just bothers me where we at today, all are being and complaining.

"Larry, I know that a lot of people in this country have a conflict sometimes. I see a lot of people. They have a conflict sometimes when it comes to race specific issues. And I'm a firm believer that this film is not only for the consumption or the viewer, the viewing from Americans of African descent. But can you explain to the audience and if this is your consistent opinion, can you explain to the audience why this is important not just for black people, but for every single American today? It's important because what it shows you is what made America great is our reliance on judeo, Christian values. And as we get away from those, our country is being undermined. As we get away from the belief that America is a shining city on a hill, you're having a growing number of people on the left of all races believing that America is systemically racist that capitalism is fundamentally flawed and nothing could be further from the truth. We show how entrepreneurs coming out of slavery were buying buildings in Harlem for crying out loud. That's what caused the Harlem renaissance. Now you go through Harlem and you find anger and despair and many people in academia are in Hollywood in the media have no blooming idea about the history of this country and we explore it in Uncle Tom too.

"Lot of the time Civil rights movement for example Getting a lot more attention at this time period than the nuclear arms race But by the late 70s the Soviet stockpiles had gotten quite large So you start to see a ramping up of nuclear concerns putting more missiles in Western Europe debates over whether you should make new types of weapons like the neutron bomb and Reagan comes to power on the argument of we fallen behind the Soviets these evil empires they can't be worked with that works for him in terms of elections but it also drives the fears way way way way up In 1983 there was the Soviet nuclear false alarm incident Other than the Cuban missile crisis I think most scholars would put 83 as the closest we came to some sort of nuclear war which I don't think most people realize But the war scare of 83 is a lot of things So one of them is a Soviet false alarm when the Soviet early warning system says there's missiles in coming The person Manning this computer station is stanislav Petrov he basically says I don't think this is real And he doesn't pass it up the training command Which is treason Well the American systems had false alarms also during this time period At some point in the 70s I found a note from kissing her that said that they were having one false alarm a week at one point It's unbelievable right So the Soviet systems are probably not better made than ours And so people did use their judgment but yeah in 1983 the Soviets are very worried that the United States could attack them first And so not passing it up the chain is him really putting a lot on the line Either it's a false alarm or they're all going to be dead Is it really his job to make that choice It's not clear So other things that are going on in 83 the United States is doing things that are deliberately provocative like routinely entering Soviet airspace with military planes to see what their response would be How quick could they get defenses up and running How quick do they ping them on the radar So any plane that was going to come in that we're going to think it was an American plane and go after it And this is what led to them shooting down Korean airliner zero zero 7 in 1983 which was a horrible accident but they thought it was one of these American planes that was trying to probe them and mess with them Wow When it comes to what the public feels you said in the AP piece that it's difficult to measure the public's degree of fear over time because polls use different methodologies or pose questions in different ways I'm relying here on a lot of insight I've got from one of my colleagues who's a political psychologist named Kristin Carl Are you really getting a representative sample Are you talking to enough people And then the way you pose the question matters So if I give you a question where I say how worried are you about Russia using nuclear weapons Are you a little worried very worried I worry every day You'll be thinking about oh how do I feel about this That's different than if I go to you and say what are you worried about You might say I don't know climate change the inflation crime the subway whatever This is one of the tricky things If you ask people of today about nuclear weapons in a structured way they'll often give you a response that it's on their list of things But if you ask them in an unstructured way if you just say what are you worried about The typically doesn't come up as much which just as a contrast in 1983 they did a unstructured poll where they basically asked people what are you worried about In 1983 25% of Americans were worried about nuclear war and they didn't need to be prompt about it So that's a pretty good indication of one out of four people rank it higher than crime the economy whatever That's a really high level of anxiety You created new map which is a website that shows how much destruction different types of nuclear bombs could cause in any city in the world The site has seen like 20 times its normal traffic in the past month why did you create it So I may nuke my ten years ago and I made it because it's really hard to wrap your head around nuclear weapons We've all seen the movies where the nuke goes off and the screen fades to white and that's sort of the end of the movie right And a lot of people that's sort of how they envision a nuclear weapon it would just kill everything all at once The end And one thing there's a lot of different types of nuclear weapons right There's a real big difference between the weapon dropped on Hiroshima the weapons made in the 1950s and the weapons used today So nukemap is a website that I made because being able to see that kind of damage superimposed on places I know makes a big difference to get back to this conversation about fears I think there's a really big difference between a sort of abstract impersonal fear and a much more personalized custom fear So if your idea of nuclear bomb going off is the screen fades to white the movie says the end and the credits start rolling You end up not taking that seriously as something that's likely to happen You put that in the part of your brain you put your awareness of your own inevitable death And actual nuclear weapon going off would not destroy everything If a Hiroshima size bomb again not a big bomb went off in Manhattan You're talking about 400,000 people dead 400,000 people is an unimaginable amount of dead people But it's also not that many out of the people who live in the greater New York metro area I'd still have a lot of survivors And in some ways that's worse You don't necessarily see yourself as being instantly dead in that situation You see yourself as one of the people who might have to clean up the mess and deal with the grief It's actually more powerful to show people that these weapons are massively powerful but not infinitely powerful In some ways and we've done research that backs this up this causes people to take them more seriously as a human problem and not just part of the universe you can't deal with Alex thank you very much Well thank you so much I really enjoyed being here Alex wellerstein is a historian of

figured out probably a month into the pandemic lockdowns Some people who thought this 15 days to slow the spread even on our side some people are like okay it sucks but we'll give it a few weeks and William But after about a month it was just about everyone but common sense that this is super dumb It's not working It's not stopping the spread And it appears to be this little totalitarian scheme to whittle away our civil rights and we wish people would have wised up quicker Now this Johns Hopkins study shows these lockdowns were a total disaster So Kurt you would think this would be an argument for free speech and the free marketplace of ideas where people like you and I have spoke out against this stuff You know would be heard but it's not the left is using it as an excuse to double down in sensor voices They don't like like me Absolutely And that's a loser strategy Winners don't try and shut up the opponent Winners let the opponent talk because the opponent's going to

because I feel like it's important to show how our ideas win But once in a while I had this guy Robert I think his name was padillo forgive me I forget his last name but I had him on and it was some common ground there on public safety stuff and police stuff And that just speaks to what you said the fragility of the other side doesn't it that they are so terrified of our ideas that their natural inclinations to shut us up and get us wiped off all these platforms but the hilarity of it Kurt is they do it and they try to claim it as in censorship It may not be a First Amendment fight depending on how it's done But it most certainly is censorship Of course it is And they're all for it It's bizarre to me I mean you look at remember O'Neil young was like the big rebel and he was take that natural guardsman at Kent State and now he's like please everyone wait for the machine region of it You know What happened How does a guy Kurt who sang a song Rocking in the free world who went on a

it show up in numbers as well and show an exercise they're right to assemble too This Ottawa truck convoy has a absolutely terrified right now to the point where I'm hearing the Biden administration's freaked out that one might happen here Your thoughts on that Well they should be freaked out because as I wrote in my town hall column on Monday This is a class fight This is the working class which was tossed out by the Democrat party Remember 50 years ago if you had a hard hat and you were a union guy you don't probably a Democrat Because they were for the work demand Then the Democrats made a

"C. Just a few days before he was assassinated, he talked about certainly racial justice. But he also talked about economic justice, the deep poverty that existed across racial lines in this country and the shame of that for Or for America Country of such wealth. I mean, you could make that same speech today, obviously, ah, situation completely worsened by the pandemic. But finally, he also talked about his resistance to the Vietnam War. And this is one of the reasons that he did become somewhat unpopular. He believed that we should not study war no more, and he said as much in that speech. And it was largely because of his resistance to the Vietnam War. That kind of drew a put a wedge in the civil rights movement of its day. Um, many of his colleagues thought that it was a distraction from the main work that had to be done. But Dr King really At the end of his life. We're talking about these three essential ideas, the end of war pacifism, nonviolent solutions to the world's problems, the end of poverty and, of course, the end of racial injustice In this country. It's an extraordinary legacy. Uh, the words ring down to us today They are as true as ever what he was able to accomplish, of course, with a great many other people alongside and we Forget that he was certainly the most visible face of the of the movement. But there were many others men and women who who struggled alongside Dr King to achieve that dream, which still has to be realized. And then final question for you real quick. The federal holiday first celebrated in 1986. How did that come about? Well, it came about largely after the assassination. But I have to say it was also resisted. For a long time. It was really resisted in at the federal level, and even among states and Ronald Reagan eventually signed the bill into into law somewhat reluctantly. We have to be honest about that. And even after it became a federal holiday, it was not a state holiday in all, 50 states that would take another few years. Not until 1991 that all 50 states finally recognized the Martin Luther King holiday. It had been a federal holiday. Yes, but not a. Not a. Not a truly Celebrated by all states until 1991. So that's not that long ago, of course, and it is indication that the resistance To the ideas of racial justice in this country. That resistance is still very powerful. Ken Davis, historian and author of the Don't Know much book series, which he confined at Don't know much dot com Can thanks so much for running down the life and legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. We appreciate it.
