The Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin
"Our feature today is entitled, DeSantis and the Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin. This week, CoinDesk published one of the most thought -provoking and balanced articles on Bitcoin mining I've ever read. The report is focused around the Greenwich Bitcoin Mining Company in upstate New York, which was at the center of a protracted media cycle last year after environmental activists claimed the facility was boiling the waterways and poisoning delicate ecosystems. Those claims went on to influence an actual policy decision by the governor of New York, restricting Bitcoin mining in the state. The thing is, most of the worst claims about Greenwich were straight up wrong. CoinDesk's Nick Day and other reporters took a trip up to Dresden in upstate New York to take the temperature of the lake and speak to the locals, finding that not a single lawmaker visited the Rust Belt town or spoke to its mayor before drafting what is essentially a freeze on new Bitcoin miners. Most of the Bitcoin mining debate today is centered around the Bitcoin network's environmental impact. Greenwich became a lightning rod because before the company moved equipment into the plant that now uses natural gas, it was deactivated, meaning when the miners were turned on, they weren't just drawing on electricity that would have been produced anyways, but actively releasing fresh so -called carbon into the atmosphere. The Bitcoin network uses as much energy as a country like Norway, and trying to wrap your head around whether that is or isn't worth it often comes down to your point of view on how you value permissionless money. Individuals can certainly make up their minds on the matter, but how a state should treat Bitcoin, for instance, whether mining should be encouraged or banned, is a societal -level conversation involving politicians, stakeholders, and those affected. In a behind -the -scenes account of how the story came to be, Day wrote that he expected locals to hate the plant. He and his team had heard that Greenwich was pumping pollution into Seneca Lake and creating incessant noise, a claim that was also debunked. Instead, the CoinDesk team found that many in the town and surrounding areas supported the upstart business. Although Greenwich created a relatively small number, every job counts in a town like Dresden, which has a population of just 296. In fact, a few complaints about Greenwich lodged by locals came from so -called cottage people, the wealthy out -of -towners with vacation homes on the lakeshore. Sure, as taxpayers, these people have a right to be concerned about their property value, but should their opinion matter more? Because it seemed

"Russia has indicated that it views Pope Francis's peace initiative, positively. The statements from the Russian foreign ministry was the first public acknowledgment by Moscow of the Pope's move. However, Moscow stressed there are no immediate plans for a Vatican mission to the country. It followed the Vatican's recent announcements that Italian cardinal Matteo zupi had been tapped by Francis as his envoy at a news conference told reporters the scope of his mission. This mission aims at helping ease the tensions of the conflict in Ukraine. His still unscheduled talks would lead to pass of peace, much like he achieved on his mission to Mozambique in the 1990s, where he helped to mediate peace talks that ended the Civil War.

How Is the Media Going to Frame Ron DeSantis' Campaign?
"Ron DeSantis is going to jump into race today I've got a few thoughts on this today I don't want to relay the game what we've already addressed and spoken about which is the fact that primaries are a good thing In short because they keep candidates frosty I've already spoken about it a few times so I don't want to repeat that show and some of you are frankly tired of hearing it I don't blame you I say because I ran in primaries and you went I didn't have a serious primary I was a little softer by the time I got to the general because you're just not frosty You still like beating people up okay But there's a couple other things I wanted to talk about two big takeaways to this first How is the media going to frame The Ron DeSantis campaign And the way to find out what the media is up to When I say frame I mean you would think a standard journalist reporter correct would just want to report the news and the facts That's a good one That's really freaking funny We're not talking about actual journalist reporters talking about activists They can call themselves whatever they want Journalists reporters but they're really activists right We get that okay So point stipulated So the question is never are they going to cover the desantis campaign Honestly they won't It's how are they going to frame it Now the media has got a bit of a dilemma here and the dilemma is this How do we crap on run desantis without making Trump look good Because there's nobody in politics Nobody they hate more than Donald Trump Nobody There's not even a close second There's like a top 5 lace Tucker's on there Levin's on there They hate anybody But they hate Trump more than anyone So the problem they have now the media I think what's the problem Just cover the campaign opposite they can't do that bro they're activists They're activists

'Mother Nature has no mercy': Man gets stuck waist-deep in Alaska mud flats, drowns as tide comes in
"A man gets stuck waist deep in mudflats in Alaska and drowns before rescuers could get to him. Christy Peterson, with the hope sunrise volunteer fire department who was one of the rescuers, says Alaska can be amazing and beautiful, but. You have to remember that it's mother nature. And she has no mercy. 20 year old Zachary reporter from Illinois was walking on tidal mudflats with friends in a remote area Sunday when it happened. It can suck you down. It looks like it's solid, but it's not. And once the tide starts to come in, it gets wet from the bottom and can loosen up, which then creates a vacuum. Signs are posted warning people of hazardous waters and mud flats at turning in arm, a 48 mile long glacier carved estuary that travels southeast from anchorage. Its claimed at least three other lives and many more have been rescued. I'm Julie Walker.

"Aaron Rodgers never made it past warm ups in his first New York Jets practice in front of the media. This is tweaked my calf in the little pre practice condition inside. Decided to take it. Take a vet day. The 39 year old quarterback acquired last month from Green Bay strained a calf while participating in conditioning drills Tuesday. I don't think it's too serious. Rogers watch quarterback drills and remained on the field during practice, but was without his helmet and threw no passes. Rogers, who wasn't wearing a wrap on either calf while he stood at the podium and spoke to reporters was uncertain when the injury occurred. I'm geffen cool

Tiffany Fong Is One of Our Favorite Influencers in the Crypto Space
"I first heard of you, Tiffany, when you kind of like kind of burst onto the scene. Loudly with some leaked messages between you and Sam bankman fried and then I was like, wow, what's going on? Who is this woman? How did she get this conversation? Is she just a reporter? And so I always thought you were a reporter. And then I started to realize, as I learned more about you, that you're not like a journalist or you're more of an influencer. So I want to actually bring you on the show and hear from you, what you've been up to in the crypto space, how you found yourself in the position you're in. You know, a little bit about the Tiffany fong story. I mean, I think a lot of people think I'm a federal agent, just I heard that too. I get that probably the most, so it was very quick. I don't know, everything did happen very quickly. I only started posting on Twitter and only started my YouTube channel after Celsius is collapsed so that was like in June, July, July last year. So I mean, I haven't been even really using Twitter or YouTube dot log. So it was a quick, I guess, rise. It's not like I have like a massive massive following, but things grew very quickly. So I feel like that's why people come up with a bunch of weird theories about the fact that I'm like a federal agent or whatever. Yeah, and I would say the picture of you and Joe Biden didn't help that. Yes, okay, that's what it is. See to me, I think nothing of that because I wasn't invited by Biden and it wasn't like some cool invite. Like someone who watches me on YouTube just slid into my emails and was like, hey, invite to The White House and I was like, this is a scam. This has got to be fake, but it turned out to be someone who I think works in the Secret Service and they wanted me to be their plus one. So I always forget that that even happened. I wasn't like some cool invite to The White House or anything like Joe Biden. That's a pretty cool invite to The White House, a plus one for the Secret Service.

Is the Verdict In Trump's Assault Case a Political Hit Job?
"The verdict in Carol the Trump is a right strike verdict to quote Luther on the epistle of James. It doesn't add up to a lawyer, 27 years later when she can't name the year. I just paid no attention to it because it's just so profoundly not corroborate it and they rejected the rape charge, but they accepted the assault charge, but they accept the defamation charge their rejected the rape charge, and they did it in three hours. I just shook my head. So a lot of people think it's just a bogus Manhattan jury. They just think it's a get Trump moment. Whether or not they like Trump, a lot of people think it's a bogus lawsuit. So David, why doesn't the media just report just report that half the country likes Trump and half hates him? Or 40% of the country likes Trump and they don't care about gene Carroll. And they put January 6th aside and they don't blame him for that. Because that's basically the fact pattern. That's just 40% of America that's a 120 million Americans. Yeah, look, I don't have an answer for you in part because I'm not a media reporter, meaning I don't ask these questions of them. I don't really look deep into it. When I try to do, is what I did in Iowa this past weekend. It's just asked questions. And in report, the answers to those questions is fairly and accurately and within context as I can, Trump is this unique figure. I will say as a reporter, I sometimes feel challenged in covering Trump because he will say things, you know, I've covered politicians now for 20 years and they all spin and they all try and make things look a particular way when they don't when they're not a particular way. Trump just happens to be the most brazen among them and then he'll say something is blue when it's white and he just does that.

Biden, congressional leaders likely to meet Tuesday for talks on raising the debt limit
"President Biden says he's hopeful about coming to an agreement with Republicans before the U.S. hits the limit of its legal borrowing authority. Speaking to reporters during a bike ride on Sunday, President Biden says he's hopeful there will be more talks with top congressional leaders over the debt limit impasse before he leaves Wednesday for the G 7 summit. You may not be safe because I'm in congenital optimist. But I really think this is desire on their part as well as ours to reach agreement. A plan to host Congress's top four lawmakers on Friday had been put off, but senior administration officials say talks among staff have been productive. President Biden and senator Schumer are stuck on no. House speaker Kevin McCarthy wants to use the threat of defaulting on the nation's debts to leverage conservative policies and force a deep spending cuts to rein in the national debt. President Biden doesn't want a deal. He wants a default. The Treasury Department and office of management and budget have said the government could exhaust its ability to pay its bills as early as June 1st. Jennifer King, Washington

Title 42 Ends: Does Third-World America Begin?
"Start with a bad update and updated our border title 42 is off. It is I wanted to open with this clip and one 39, please Alejandro mayorkas. What is the economic cost of your broken immigration system? Since there are businesses around this country that are desperate for workers, there are desperate workers looking for jobs, desperate workers in foreign countries that are looking for jobs in the United States where they can earn money lawfully and send much needed remittances back home. What is the cost of a broken immigration system? That is the question that I am asked and that is the question that I pose to Congress because it is extraordinary. Every once in a while, they give you something that so clearly reveals their thinking. You're almost grateful for the clarity. A huge priorities are actually getting remittances. If you're watching this show and you're not paid by Soros or media matters to watch it. You probably are in the camp that that is a problem if we are importing people specifically so they can take American dollars that we earn and that we create with our capitalist economy and send them back to wherever they're from, probably in a lot of cases, communist countries, in particular, a lot of the current flood Venezuelans in particular, one of the worst communist regimes in the world. We actually have a reporter Breitbart News, Caleb Caruso, who's down there, and he covers it. He is a column called my socialist nightmare that he writes for us at Breitbart News, because he tracks Venezuela from Venezuela from us. And mayorkas actually prioritizing the remittances getting sent out of the U.S.. I think those are taxed at the same rate you and I are taxed. No. Absolutely not.

Sen. Ted Cruz Erupts on Reporter's Democratic Talking Points at Border
"I'll share with you the frustration of senator Ted Cruz. He got real fired up. He's at the border, and he got into a one on one with somebody who was challenging him on the Republicans and the and the border. Listen to this. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something. What rate of alien immigration do we have in 2020? But you have the thing. I asked your question in office. Do you know anything? How long have you been in? I've been in office 11 years now. I think the calendar in multiple administration accepts your okay, you don't get to argue with me. You ask your question. You ask your question. You don't want to hold a press conference. You can do it over there. You want to hold a press conference, you can do it over there. How are you? So hold on. I'm going to answer his question. The talking point of the Democrats, which this media reporter happily parrots is gosh, the problem can't be fixed. There's one little problem with that it is an utter and complete lie. In 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, we had the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. You ask what have I done? I've championed the men and women of border patrol. A champion securing the border, a champion remain in Mexico, and we turn this problem around and solved it and we went from Joe Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years and the first day in office. He made political decisions to cause this problem. And you should be ashamed of yourself because you're a reporter and you're not reporting facts. You're telling lies.

Savanah Hernandez Reports From Ground Zero of the El Paso Border
"Savanna Hernandez is on with me, TPUSA, front lines, reporter extraordinaire from the border. Savannah, great to meet you, where are you right now, exactly? I mean, currently in El Paso, Texas on the American side of the border and what you see are seeing behind me is the world that is, again, protecting us from all of the illegal crossing from water to Mexico. Okay, so you're right there. I'm seeing some border barrier behind you. Is that one of the ones with the big gaps within the barrier where people can just kind of funnel through right there. There's border gaps that you see all the time. So there aren't really border gaps in this area, but what I want people to understand about the way that this is set up is that the wall in El Paso is basically set up at the edge of the city, but there is a bunch of federal land on the other side. So those migrants are still very easily to cross over from Mexico into the United States and then once they're in the United States they're getting processed. We just can't see it as easily because it's on the other side of this wall that border patrol will not allow us to go past. So El Paso is getting overwhelmed, all their shelters. They're calling it one of the biggest humanitarian crises that we've ever seen. What are you seeing on a humanitarian level? Because the footage has just been unbelievable in terms of trash in terms of people coming up that are just clearly just worn down, filthy, they've been through hell trying to get here because they think they can get in and stay here. There seems to be a narrative the left is missing. Absolutely, when I got here on Tuesday, that's exactly what the scene was. When you walk the streets of downtown El Paso, you would see piles of trash boxes of opened uneaten food that were attracting a lot of animals. They were unused clothing on the ground. The streets reek of urine and there are human feces just scattered throughout downtown, so it is not a clean environment at all.

"Of the event, the time for prayer. And it was so beautiful. It was the first time I saw that sound on the page and heard it. Recognized it. It was this really great moment of connection. And then that's when I really I think realized like, oh, like, poetry is really great. I really love that. Yeah, maybe. But do you feel that for as much as you are on the outside of your parents or your father's Palestinian experience, do you feel that writing about what you write about, you know, do you feel like it has bridged some of that distance? Do you feel like you've gotten closer? Do you feel like you understand your father better for having written about him? I don't think I'm ever going to understand my father. Do we ever understand our parents? Well, no, okay, there's the fundamental mystery of them, but I also felt in your arms. I did feel like there was a real push more, how'd you say that? Yeah. And intimacy. Yeah. Definitely, he was. And I don't want to speak for him, because everyone has their own internal feelings, but I think to some degree, I always knew his grief or that it felt like it was mine. Or recognize that aloneness in him and it hurt. It hurt to like carry that. No one told me I had to. It's just like. You grow up with people and it's almost like it's like osmosis, right? Like you can't, where is the separation? You can close your bedroom door, but like that person's presence and we never really separate, right? And I think I felt that very deeply I felt his grief very deeply and I felt very isolated. They isolated us, my parents, they were isolated. I mean, I don't know where that begins or ends, right? That emotion and it's very blurry. Yeah. Yeah. But you know, to go back to that poem that you just read. You hate the way I interrupt Al Jazeera, how I seek answers to questions that shouldn't be asking. And also there is already this kind of friction between your dad. You know, every hour we talk makes me wonder if you'll ever make eye contact. Will you look at me? And I'm going to distraction. Yeah, that I thought was interesting too. I understand that American society is kind of held at bay because that only means it would come to replace Palestine, you know. But your kids. What do you think made it hard for him to connect to you? I think that dad. You know, there was Palestine, and then we existed as destructions away from his fixation on it. I don't think dad, I don't think dad sauce. I think he was, I think he was very engulfed in his grief and trauma and I think, I think we were objects to be moved around to get to Palestine. And I'm not like. I'm not mad or upset about that. If you ask my brothers, they would be better. I think. Again, I just think it's politics. It's just history. It's geography. It's the way that it's all this shit I can't control that was in my household that I had to just deal with, right? So and that's not to make an excuse for him either. But it's just recognizing generational trauma, right? Right. Right. Yeah. So I have a sense from reading your poetry and from talking to you that you have a lot of weight on your shoulders, you know, like not just as a reporter when you're carrying the pain of all these people that you talk to. But also your father's grief and then by extension, you know, Palestine's grief. And so I'm wondering with all of that grief and responsibility on your shoulders, you know, to write about it to write about it in the right way and so on. How do you allow yourself the space to write a different kind of home? You know, to write a poem about your happiness or about someone you love or something that has nothing to do with all this responsibility and grief. How do you allow yourself that space? Is it a struggle? No. No, I mean that. I think joy and love is also resistance, right? Like, I love, I love Ross gay's work. Yeah. I mean, nobody can look at that work and say that Ross gay does not carry a lot on his shoulders, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I think my friend Jeremiah oh consi, who's also a poet would also argue that joy is revolutionary and would also remind me that it's time to go to Cleveland on a Saturday and you know they're going to make me really sugary waffles with all of the toppings and we're going to eat. You know, I think there is no lack of joy in my life. And I'm very thankful for that, but I also think that that's a very intentional thing. Yeah. Can I ask you to read a poem that I thought was exceptionally joyful? It's called it's called ode. Pace. Thing. But it starts the night comma so warm, I could fall in love. Yes, this is for my friend, Kevin. I love this poem because it was after a really good night. Of a lot of like calm and quiet. Owed..

"Well, I want to sort of tilt what we're talking about in a different direction because you know what I love so much in reading a poet's work is that you kind of get submerged in someone's consciousness for a bit. You see the web of associations that this poet weaves and what makes them think of what other thing and it's unique for everybody, right? And in your case, I felt like the presence of Palestine was almost like an overlay. You know, like whatever you're looking at, you're also looking at Palestine at the same time. It's like America and Palestine are kind of like superimposed quantum situation. Like in this poem, you know, like you're talking about your reporting work in Ohio with people who are going to be evicted or at risk of being evicted and then you link that immediately you see a little girl in Palestine, you know, who's home is going to be demolished. And my question about that is what does that feel like? Does it feel lonely? Or is it kind of like some secret knowledge that you have? Because it allows you to understand things more deeply or what does that do all seeing do for you? It's not a superpower. Injustice doesn't have a country. It knows no country, right? The abusive power knows no country. Colonialism knows no country. These ideas don't have a specific point on a map that you can direct somebody to. So why should our ideas of them, right? I think I grew up with the constant shadow of Palestine in our household. It almost felt like this cloud that existed within the borders of our home. And I think that cloud was my father, you know, he's a Palestinian refugee. He was 6 years old during the 1960s, 7 war. And he never ever let go or forgot or lost that vision of Palestine. And I say that because a lot of Palestinians come to this country or are forced into this country, right? Because of the situation. And they quote unquote assimilate or integrate, I guess integrate is the word now. They integrate very easily and they join American culture and they fit into it in some awkward mismatched ways. My dad refused to. He just refused. He did not have white friends. He did not have American friends. He his English still very broken after 30 years of being here almost. He. Just never joined. Society. I don't know how else to put it, right? And so you had this very traditional Palestinian person who had layers of generational trauma and. This trauma of being a refugee and this guilt about leaving. There was so much survivor's guilt, you know? Up until yesterday, my dad was saying that he'd wished he stayed, but he wished he'd never left. And so we were living in a household where somebody was almost like emotionally and mentally still in Palestine, but physically here. And that's why because every interaction of my life every single thing, I was telling somebody today because I was getting made fun of because I don't snack. Okay. I'm not a snacker. I eat two meals a day. They're big meals, and then I just, I just vibe off those meals. Amazing. And it's a great skill. If you have it, and I was telling them, I don't, I'm not used to snacking. I grew up with a father who did not buy snacks. You know, you have your rice in your beans and your meat and you eat that twice a day. You know, there's no fruit snacks in the cabinet. There is no like the concept of like a pantry with like chips and salsa and all these things. And so it was literally like living with him. It was, you know, these things were sort of ingrained in every little tiny way, the way we ate the way that we woke up the way that we all of these little things were seeped into our lives and that's my connection to history. And that's how politics was sort of part of my everyday life. There was no way to disentangle Palestine. I wouldn't even know where to begin, right? No, no, yeah. There are a couple of poems that you write about your father or address to him. There's one I'm not sure if it's addressed to your father. It's called dear K, you have a few that are two. Is that for your father or not? Yeah, that is a ten. Yeah. Yeah. Would you feel comfortable reading one of those? Sure. I was thinking of the one that starts all this is real. Dear K all this is real. You tell me stories. You repeat, did you get that? And do you hear me? Like I won't believe you. You hate the way I interrupt and Jazeera. How I seek answers to questions. I shouldn't be asking your body is collapsed on our tired beige couch. Every hour we talk makes me wonder if you'll ever make eye contact. Will you look at me, Palestinian habits die because Palestinians are dying, are dead. It happens every day. I know you think of your grandfather, how he spent so many of his days staring at a ceiling inhaling cigarette smoke, relying on the United Nations for food for shelter. Year after year, you hovered around him unbreakable. Thank you. Of course. It's very bizarre to read that poem on its own actually. What do you mean? I think it was like a series. But yeah, that was fun. Yeah, I mean, I imagine that it's strange to read a poem about your father. So intimate. Oh, it's so strange to write about him. I have a story about actually, I'm very lucky because my parents are not very comfortable with English, so they rarely read my work. So I've had the freedom to write as I wish without their scrutiny. But I will say that the poem fuck your lecture on craft had blown up so much. And my dad got his hands on it..

"You know what I mean? And all these very specialized terms, what does that look like? Can you tell me a little bit about what you noticed? Yeah, it was, and I want to say I had not been in a courtroom either, and this is a very this is a very privileged position to be in. Like, I was watching it for the first time without. The threat of getting kicked out of my home, right? Yeah. And so imagine that you're a tenant and you're about to lose your home, and you have to learn all this language, and it was, it was difficult. I mean, first of all, when I logged into the zoom, you put in the username and password and it would say forcible entry and detainer. Okay. And I remember texting a reporter a colleague of mine who would have covered evictions for a long time. And I said, what does this mean? Am I in the right room? And he's like, yeah, that's just the fancy term for eviction. So they don't even call it eviction. That is. You don't call it eviction. You don't have a name. It's a case number case number, case number. The actual name of the eviction, it's called of restitution. And that would mass tenants up a lot because the magistrate wouldn't say, okay, the eviction has been granted. You're being evicted. She would say the restitution has been granted. And no one ever knew what a rid of restitution was. And those tenants have no representation? I mean, low income tenants are the least likely to have representation. If they do show up, a lot of them don't show up. And I think an Akron Cleveland is different, Cleveland, you have to have a lawyer as a tenant. But in Akron, there's no rule that says you have to have a lawyer. So you have these lawyered up landlords who already have a considerable amount of power because landownership is power and then these tenants who are obviously can not afford their rent and are being evicted who don't even understand the language of what's happening around them. Or the technology. I mean, the technology was a mess. Yeah, and also not everyone, I mean, especially not people who are at risk of being evicted usually are not the wealthiest people. Internet access is not a given. So did you report on people who just didn't have Internet access and couldn't be there? Yeah, we did. I remember we surveyed in the very beginning. We looked up the records of people who had scheduled eviction hearings coming up in a couple days and we had visited them and asked. And I was doing all of this work, by the way through reveal. Yeah. And they were a big step for investigative reporting. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. They were a really big support. Sort of walking me through this giant system, but we'd gone around to some neighborhoods to ask people and a lot of them some of them didn't know that they had eviction hearings coming up. Some of them knew, but did not plan to go many of them had already left their homes. And a lot of them said that they didn't have Internet access or that they didn't know what zoom was or remember, if you're working in an industry in the service industry or, you know, you have income that's coming in from doing odd jobs or any blue collar type work. You don't necessarily spend 8 hours a day and an office on Zoom, like the rest of us. This isn't just the language of the privilege that I'm counting myself in that is language that is it's not the same. It's not the same language. It's not the same world. And then they would log in and it's like, I mean, I was like, I don't know if I'm in this right room. This doesn't say eviction, or they'd be in these waiting rooms for some time wondering if they were in the right place. I mean, it was really little things like that that really beat a person down, I think. Yeah. And you write quite a bit in your essays and in your poetry about the sense of powerlessness that you feel around your reporting that you're reporting is probably not going to save anybody from being evicted. And so I'm wondering how do you tell that to the people that you ask? Can I interview you? Do they have other expectations? Do they think that you can actually help and how do you tell them that you can't? I wish I had an answer to that. And when I do, maybe I will report again on that level. I haven't reconciled it. I haven't gotten comfortable with the discomfort of not knowing the answer to that. I'm writing a second book about this right now. That's sort of documenting. And asking that question of what the point of writing or witness or storytelling is. Because there's that really, and this is going to sound so jaded. But there's that really optimistic standpoint of writing changes the world, you know, stories matter. And they do, but there's so much there's so much like useless consumption that's happening at the same time. There's such a high volume of everything, including bad news, right? And where does it all go? And I don't think I don't think we figured out how to reconcile that. And so I don't know what the answer is and honestly it did feel very useless in the thing that snapped that into focus. For me, very early on was we knocked on this guy's door. He answered it. He was incredibly agitated with us. Even. Hinging on a little bit of it was scary. It was scary. He was a little violent. He looked like he wanted to hit us, and I don't blame him. Yeah. We obviously introduced ourselves told him what we wanted from him and he looked at us with the most just dumbfounded look on his face. And said what the fuck is your article going to do to prevent me from sleeping in my car in two days? And slam the door. And I had no, I had no answer. I mean, I don't know, right? Yeah. I didn't go and I didn't go to journalism school. I was not indoctrinated with this idea that reporters changed the world. I did not carry myself ever with that mindset of I'm doing really, really important work for me it was I love writing and I love spending time with people and there was moments of great connection and intimacy with quote unquote subjects that I was working with in alongside and that's why I loved it. I didn't do it because I believed in this higher minded idea of truth. But then I felt really, really dumb. Like, yeah, what was that going to do? And then why do we produce? I was going to write the article and then I was going to hope that some politician who was probably white who was going to pick it up and attempt to change the system. Even though the entire system of politics in this country is flawed with voter disenfranchisement and all of the ways we block populations from voting or that somebody was going to,.

"It's a weird sense of safety, I got so tired of arguing frankly with white people before I left Ohio. It was like this constant state of defensiveness and argumentativeness and I just became very hypersensitive and maybe sensitive is not the right word. It's not, I wasn't being sensitive. It was just I was seeing these systems in these structures play out in every single interaction and here it's a little bit more toned down. I was actually thinking about the idea of community today because there was these acts of generosity that snapped me back into my community and back into almost healthy connection to the world and the spaces around me rather than operating on my own as we're so used to as Americans. We were moving in and my dad was helping me move in here and our neighbor is at Aki. And he stopped over and he was helping us move in and you know, we didn't ask him, too. It was just he just grabbed this box mattress and just started lugging it up to the house, you know, no one. No one needs an invitation. That can become annoying sometimes, but it was also like, we needed help frankly. You know, she was heavy. How did your dad react? Because it must also be really interesting for him. To see his daughter move into a neighborhood that if it feels like home for you, it must for him too, right? Oh, it was so funny. We went to Home Depot, which is like dad's Mecca. And the one in Dearborn, they have all the signs we're in and Arabic. And he was like losing it. Then this Home Depot. Like do you see these he was like reading in an Arabic like he was reading her book for the first time. I was like, and I kept trying to tell them, you know, this place, like you have to come. So weird to me, I feel really good, but it also feels really strange and they didn't get it. They didn't get it until they came here and they were like, where are we and how is this so it's been a weird weird four or 5 months to say the least. But it's been really good things. When I say I'm overwhelmed, it's not negatively overwhelmed. It's more of a I see a future for the first time in a long time because there was a really burnt out depressing moment where, I mean, things are still bleak in a lot of ways, but there are some better personal protections and a space now. So yeah. And it's so important to have a home base as a stable place from where you can do all this tough work. You know what I mean? And interact with the injustices and inequalities of the world, you know, if you're struggling yourself all the time, I don't know how you can keep coping with taking in so much suffering from others. I don't know. Yeah. I think it's, you know, in those moments, it's the community that holds you, but I will say that my abilities to cope wore down. Yeah. And I mean, you took a really complicated beat, right? If you're an evictions reporter, I mean, the pandemic must have just I don't even know how to describe it. Can you describe what happened? So you were already in evictions and tenants right reporter before the pandemic, right? No. Okay. Let me tell you. Please. Oh man, this is a mess. So I was reporting for the magazine for a while. That's the devil's trip, right? Yeah, which just closed. Jessica, thank you for yes. I don't know how to. I don't have the language yet. So I worked at that magazine since it started basically a month after it started was my first article. 6 years ago, I was really young. I was like 20 or 21. I had worked at a place before that writing a couple pieces. That's how I picked up reporting is some editor took a chance on me in this tiny community magazine and I didn't know anything about reporting. I was like 18, fresh out of high school and I would take she would never give me feedback. She would edit the piece that it was published, right? And I would take the published piece and I would compare them. And that's how I learned what to do. Yeah, the reporting and what the rules were. So I did that for about a year and a half and then I started reporting for the devil's trip. And then when the protests happen about the murder of George Floyd, we were out there and the opportunity for housing came up and I took it because housing encapsulates all of the social ills like you can not have good mental health without housing, you can not be in recovery for addiction without stable housing, your kids can not get fair consistent education without proper housing if you're constantly being evicted your physical health can not be in a good place if you are constantly couch surfing or living on the street. So from infant mortality to basic nutrition, you can not have any of these things without a roof over your head that is good and descent and has the rights that a person deserves as a human existing in this world, right? It's the most basic necessity. And I really loved it. I really loved reporting about it. But I didn't know anything about housing. I jumped into it. I should have thought about it a little bit more. I should have thought about the emotional toll. You know? But the thing that was happening was the courts were shutting down for some time because of the pandemic. And I watched a lot of eviction hearings and it was this very if you ever want a very microscopic lens of all of the ways our systems of injustice work, you spend time in a courtroom. And you begin to understand how all of these very, very tiny, tiny rules and laws that no one has ever heard about. Or most people have not heard about other than the lawyers defending and the judges or magistrates are working at every day. And then you kind of see how the system works. It was really, really hard to watch that every single day. Can you give me an example? Because I find I've never first of all, I've never been in a courtroom and it sounds really daunting. If you don't have a formal education and reporting and you're not versed in the subject that you're reporting on and then all of a sudden you're also put in this highly structured environment with this.

The church it allowed them to expand even during the pandemic we hired a new worship leader during cove and he just started in february of this year. Actually you know the churches here to support an all. Always we say. We're made up physically spiritually socially and back. They were even able to open their private k through twelve school in person. That was a huge win for us. Capital christian is lucky. She says they used their loan money to grow but also to continue their community service. Work like a monthly food drive. Their church had a whole financial team that managed its application for the paycheck protection program. They got their money quickly in the first round of federal funding early in the pandemic and then what felt like another miracle for them. The loan was completely forgiven. All one point seven million dollars. That's not unusual. A lot of businesses and organizations that got money from ppp. Didn't have to pay it back I reached out to the small business administration to ask them. Why more wasn't done to help. Faith communities of color. No one would talk to me. But i eventually received a statement which said the federal government is deeply committed to getting money to struggling small businesses. So then i reached out to the banks. They handed out the government's money. Beth mills is a spokesperson for the california bankers association. I think if you look actually you know the numbers of the support that our members give to organizations in a lot of these communities. There's people who work in the branches that are in these communities they live in. The communities are very committed to supporting these community. So I i don't think that's represented all of of the commitment that our banks have to these communities. I pressed her. If race isn't a factor. How could it be the churches and sacramento's white neighborhoods got three times as much money as those where people of color make up majority. I do wonder like. Is this just the definition of systemic racism. You know. I think that unfortunately may be the applications didn't come in from certain ethnic and and you know so there might have been ethnicity that had more applications in the door than others did and i don't think that all speaks to on characterizing a banks intentions or with with respect to you especially racism if the banks say they're serving these communities. Why was there such a huge disparity in the loans they received. My name is foul. Lena gonzalez bristol and the executive director of the california reinvestment coalition vats an advocacy organization that provides banking support to communities of color. She says it's no coincidence. That congregations in white neighborhoods got a lot more money from the paycheck protection program. You know this really is about the long history of relationships or lack of relationships that financial institutions have had with black digits and people of color. She says that legacy of discrimination put a responsibility on banks. Today the government or banks will say that you know these things just happen. Accidentally that they're not in any way The way that they design programs whether at the government level or at the financial institution level..

"Even though the application was fairly short too faster. Alex and other leaders of black and latino and asian congregations. They were worried. It would be a complicated government program. African americans and latinos word the two racial groups most likely to lose their jobs during the pandemic and so these congregations struggled as donations. Dwindled and parishioners lost their jobs. It is frustrating because we look at the numbers of who Guppy loans and we look at how latino faith leaders were left out and african american faith leaders were left out she says the way the p p p money was handed out is just one. More example of how unevenly resources have been distributed and community earlier this year reveal uncovered many factors that fuelled these disparities for small businesses. Many business owners. In latino asian and african american communities lacked the computers and scanners they needed to send financial documents quickly to banks. Some business owners worried about taking out alone in the middle of an economic crisis and there was confusion about whether the smallest businesses those without employees qualified for p. p. this same confusion extended to churches. It is disappointing in. It is heartbreaking and the harm extends far beyond the closure of a place of worship gabby says religious institutions especially in historically underserved neighborhoods like old north sacramento play a crucial role in keeping communities. Together when we think about what congregations bring to our community our faith leaders there in the trenches listening to these stories day in and day out right like really providing that that care for people the spiritual care while churches in latino were shutting their doors.

That didn't seem possible. And one of those things a ban on evictions i by congress in march then later. The cd stepped in and widened. It and i remember thinking they can do that but there. It was section three sixty one of the public health service act a temporary halt in residential evictions to prevent the further spread of covert nineteen now that addiction ban is about to end and millions of people consume be taken to court for failing to pay their rent but as it turns out in some states.

Who was had been paying his rent with social security for years but he said that there was some kind of glitch in the system and that his money wasn't coming in and so he got behind on his rent and like a lot of people i saw. He didn't know about the moratorium so this was happening a lot. I understand you watch one hundred thirty two hearings in the fall. How many of those people were actually addicted about seventy percent of those hundred thirty. Two hearings were cases where people were evicted. And something i noticed. Is that most of these. Tenants showed up by themselves without a lawyer and on top of that the hearings were really fast. Most of them were over in like ten minutes or less. So imagine trying to represent yourself in that amount of time and this is what happened to this woman named amber moreland. I thought that she would be the perfect candidate for this eviction moratorium and if it was gonna work for anyone at should've worked for her. What was it about her. That made her the perfect candidate. So amber is thirty nine years old. She's working at a nursing home during the pandemic so she's an essential worker and she'd lost part of her income because of the pandemic like she should be covered. It seemed like it and that's why her case was so shocking to me develop with her i did. I visited her house. I set with no aside..

"Phone. The governor's spokesperson wants to talk to us. And get a quote now sexual. Can you tell me like watching this story. Go out into the world. What does it look like from where you're sitting Once martin luther king's daughter was tweeting about once. Maggie haberman white house correspondent for the new york times. Retweeting tweeting the article. I was just shocked excited And knew it would. Demand big response locally october thirty s we published the first story about hitler quotes the presentation couple days later on november. Second republish a short piece that the kentucky state police commissioner rodney brewer had resigned after thirty three years. This is a guy who's been in the kentucky state police for somewhere around twice as long as you've been alive. Yes and he steps down pretty much a direct result of you. Yes as a consequence of these articles. He is forced to step down and the spokesperson who gave us the original statement. Defending the hitler quotes still works with the kentucky state. Police been reassigned. Then you didn't stop there now. Someone who works within law enforcement Anonymously contacted us About kentucky department of criminal justice training that had used a clip from an anti-semitic neo nazi film companies and included eight. Nazi logo. in it. Okay so to recap there's one training slide show that quotes hitler. Then there's a different law enforcement agency in the state that uses a symbol from neo nazis in their training video. Sort of feels like too much. Nazi stuff to just be a coincidence. Leads me to think that maybe there's some kind of affinity between kentucky law enforcement in the hate groups that are whistling to them. Maybe it's not too not too high-pitched of a dog whistle to put hitler quotes in there. That one's pretty obvious. That's a that's a foghorn satchel and his team keep reporting they publish five stories about the nazi logo hitler quote in quotes from confederate general. Robert ely all used inside training materials. Eventually governor bashir agrees to talk with the paper curve reading with us. Thank you for doing what you do. Satchel and to student. Reporters joined bashir on zoom. Feels like half interview half trip to the principal's office but in this case the principal is the one getting grilled. And i'm in my nice little hat. Green jacket and white shirt in an unfinished attic. That doesn't look quite as professional and presentable..

My colleagues worked on a few years ago in twenty nine thousand nine reveal found hundreds of current and former law enforcement members who joined online hate groups in twenty twenty a rookie reporter from louisville reached out to us and as how many kentucky cops in these groups we knew a four but he had a scoop that bigotry on the forest was not just being expressed online.

"I think the league in its owners made a mistake. Look it's not my money. There's there's it's it's easy to spend somebody else's money but when you look at what was lost. I think there's a bigger concern for them. Being the only league essentially didn't play last year. And you know there are fans that are just kinda teetering and that was a a reason for them to to cut out right. So i i always this one a strikes that there's a certain amount of anger and apathy. Then there's also some places where it's not really woven into the fabric of what they do so it doesn't hurt as much if it doesn't hurt as much as easy to come back to right because you weren't you didn't feel a loss. You didn't feel that emotion. You didn't feel that anger in you know in canada when hockey team strikes error you know or a season gets canceled it. Even what's the appetite. Even more people want to come back. Desperate right yeah so. I don't know what it's going to look like for the cfo. When i get started. I mean we know it's not going to be full stadiums anywhere so if there is a struggle to get fat engagement fat attendance. You notice it because they're only going to allow twenty five percent fans to begin with right so you know it. It won't be bad from that perspective to start with. But you know i think this whole xfl dialogue for the last couple of months has shown me if nothing else that there are cfl fans out there still and it's got us talking about it and so hopefully the passionate fans are even more passionate now talking to people around the league. They feel pretty good about what their sponsorship retention levels have been like season ticket holder retention has been like an in all of those types of things so i'm curious to see what it looks like but i i think they made a mistake by not playing. Wow really interesting for hanging. you've been covering sports forever. it seems Even even in university do you remember a time when.
