Thoughts on the Macklemore _ Gaza Controversy(M4A_128K) · Drawn of History

  Speaker 1: In other news, Macklemore was let go from the Ed
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Sheeran tour. I'm sure you guys heard about that. He
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: had spoken out on stage about free Palestine. He'd spoken
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: out about Gaza and the genocide happening. And he had
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: played his song Heinz Hall. And he'd had imagery on
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the screen of the atrocities that have been occurring over there.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium... where
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the tour was eventually heading, decided that he didn't want
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that sort of communication happening at his venue, and Macklemore
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was removed from the tour. As well, Ed Sheeran's band
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: dropped out. It's been a big fallout. And I've been
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: thinking about it, kind of not even thinking, just kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of feeling about it, I guess, because, you know, Macklemore
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: lost his job because he spoke up, right? Because he
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: said something, right? I mean, it feels like this is
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: probably the biggest atrocity that we've witnessed in our lifetime
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on our phones, right? Seeing... the killings and the people
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: getting murdered and the children getting killed and the weaponry.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And we had a doctor on who was talking about
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: children getting shot right down through their bodies from drones.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's like the Israeli government. And I want to say
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the government, not the people of Israel. I'm not talking
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm not talking about Jewish people, but the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Israeli government has turned Gaza into like a video game
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: basically for killing people. You know, it's like, it's just, it's,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's this first person shooter. They have all this technology and, and, and,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and more specifically the killing of children. Right. I mean
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the killing of children. And every time that it's like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Hamas is hiding, that's Hamas. And it's like, that's a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: four month old. What did, how can he can't even walk?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He couldn't even walk into a Hamas office and sign up,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know, they're like, he's hiding or something. What is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he hiding? He's hiding behind what? His own tears because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: his mother is missing? Like, what are we even talking
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: about sometimes? Like, I think that's what, like, I don't know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It's just like, and we scroll past it, right? We
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: scroll past it on our phones. I do it. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: do it too. You know, just because there's like a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: new trend on TikTok or it's, you know, it's like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: there's a new sale on this new hat or it's like, oh,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have you seen this thing? This... Water filter gets leprosy
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: out of your shower head or whatever. And you're like,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: all right, you know, or there'll be a TikTok trend.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, it's like boosting bitches where
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: y'all at, you know, or I need a 10 piece
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: lemon pepper, Gaza city, what the fuck going? Bro, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: can't even get a 10 piece lemon pepper into Gaza
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: because they stopped the fucking food shippings. They won't let
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: any calories in there. While they hunt down children. They
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: killed every reporter who was trying to report on the war. Like,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what are we even talking about sometimes? I don't know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I don't fucking even know sometimes. I'm like, just what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is going on? You know, and we see it on
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: our phone. It's like, you just become immune to it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, here's just another legless Arab kid. that some
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: family is babysitting now in Texas or, and it's like a,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's like a test, you know, it's a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: test to see like how much like uncomfort can we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: handle before we have, before we say something, right? Like how,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: how uncomfortable can it be? And I'm not calling anybody out.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Like everybody's busy. People are just trying to survive, right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: The cost of rent is tripled over the past 70
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: years or something i think we saw like not even
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that 50 years that it's like tripled and the minimum
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: wage is not kept up with it it's like people
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: are living in a spot where they're just trying to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: make ends meet i get it you know but it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: does feel like we're under this weird test of like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: how much pain can we witness i mean even miss
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: rachel said something miss rachel Dude, big, somebody said that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Big Bird said something, that he took his head off
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the other day and he's just like, this shit's got
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to stop, you know? But I just, like, and I'm
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: not judging anybody here. I'm just fucking, I'm just, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: can't help but be alive. And, like, I'm in this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: fishbowl and at least, like, you just see the other
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: fish around you are getting fucking murdered. And their families
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are not only getting murdered, but, like, The use of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: like fancy technology. But then we just get placated. Something
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: happens in society and we just... Like, you know, the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: McRib comes back. And we're like, oh, they... The McRib
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is back. You know, where there's a new like Marvel...
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You know, or Spider-Man's gay now or something. Like, oh, man.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I can't barely digest my McRib because... Spider-Man's dealing with
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so much, you know, or there's another dunk contest or
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there's a, there's a, they found a possum that fucking
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: gave birth to a salmon somewhere in Zaire or something.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And there's a picture of that, you know, or someone
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: saw a picture of like Mary of Nazareth in like a,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in a piece of Texas toast somewhere. And that takes
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: over your feed and you're like, God, I want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: eat that. I want to eat that thing, you know?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, I don't know. It's just like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I just don't even know what's going on some days, man.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And if you think I'm crazy or whatever, that's fine. Like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm back. Here's the crazy part. I'm back on my meds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm back on my meds. And I'm not even fucking
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: talking about anything. I just, like, at a certain point,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you're just like, what is going on? They're just killing
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: kids every other day. They blew this kid up. Like
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he was hiding or whatever. Like that kid was hiding. Dude,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there was a kid the other day, he was hiding
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: behind his hands. He was playing hide and go seek.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He was hiding behind his hands, counting to 10. And
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: while the other kids ran to hide behind the bodies
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of their relatives, thankfully, There's enough bodies, slain bodies of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: their relatives where they can stack them up now so
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they can play hide and go seek behind them. And
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they have to play slowly and they can only play
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: once every two weeks because they don't have enough calories
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: in their body to play more than that. But the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: kid is fucking hiding behind his hands, counting to 10.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And they're like, he's Hamas. And they fucking kill him.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And people are like, well, this is the thing that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I don't like. And people may have different views on that,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and that's okay. I don't need to have your view.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't need you to have my view. You're right,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not an analyst. I don't know everything. People are like,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you don't know everything. You're right, I don't. But I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: am a human being, and I just, at a certain point,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you can't fucking... You know, you're asking me to watch
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: every scary movie that ever existed in a row constantly
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: every day and not raise my hand and be like, hey,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: who owns this fucking theater where they're playing this shit?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I don't even know, uh, Yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and sorry to get upset or whatever. I got a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: bad haircut. And when you get a bad haircut, everything
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: else comes out. You know? And it's not, I mean...
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: My cousin said it's getting better, but... But... But... And
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this is one thing, right? Like... I think something that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: maybe some people don't understand, like these fancy people, these like,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: like that a lot of people are living in fear, right?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are living in fear, right? Because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: there's a country that has murdered like 20,000 children, right?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing. I'm sorry if I'm off. I don't know
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the exact numbers. You're right. I'm sorry. I don't know
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the exact number of children that were slaughtered, right? But
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: people are like, why do you care? I don't know.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think it just– it's not
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a choice I'm making. It's just you feel– like, I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. You know, I don't know. You can't help
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that you feel something, I guess. You know, because it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: feels scary, dude. That's the thing. I think some people– well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what some people think or do. I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: don't know. It feels scary to me because there's a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: country that's killing– like 20,000 children, right? And we're watching it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And that's a lot, right? That's a lot. And they've
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: taken over this same country has is used a lot
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of like tech companies and and scary technology in this
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in this war in Gaza right in this conflict in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Gaza they've used a lot of crazy technology some of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: those companies are now in bed with American surveillance, right?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: As well as the government of the country that has,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that's as well as the fact that the government of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the country that's done this is seems to own our country, right?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm just saying that seems scary. that if they'll
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: kill the people right next to them, what would they
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: do to people here? You know what I'm saying? So
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it's not a crazy, like, maybe it is crazy. Maybe
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I am crazy. Maybe I am crazy to think that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: there's a country that's killing a bunch of children that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm watching on my phone, and that country seems to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't know everything. You're right. Seems to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: own a lot of our country and a lot of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: our politics or have control over them. And the same
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: companies that are doing the technology that's part of the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: murdering in Gaza are some of the same companies that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: have contracts in our country, surveillance and technology contracts. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: so if they would kill their people right next door
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to them, it's just, you get scared, you know, because
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: if they, if that government comes here, what will they
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: do to us? You know, that's a thing that it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: just like, it gets real scary, but the McRib is back.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The McRib is back and Halloween's right around the corner.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And there's a court case on TV where a woman
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: killed some of her kids, was accused of killing some
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of her children. And people will like are obsessed with that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But meanwhile, and that's fine, right? And that's fine to people.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But meanwhile, the other 20,000 something or whatever children, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: don't know the exact number. You're right. My bad. The
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: other countless thousands of children that are being killed on
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: my phone, that is, that's, you can't talk about that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: So that, I don't know, if you think, yes, it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: all feels like a lot. I think that's what I'm saying, man.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It all feels like a lot. It all feels like
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a lot, dude. But the McRib is back. And you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: know that shit's hype, bro. I need a 10-piece lemon
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: pepper Gaza City. Let them get one 10-piece lemon pepper
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: into the kid, cut. Let them get one 10-piece lemon
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pepper into the kids. The fucking kid. Is that too
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: much to ask? To get a 10-piece lemon pepper? Into
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the children of Gaza? Come on, gang. Come on, gang.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It's just all, it's a lot. It's confusing. I'm not saying,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm part of, I scroll past stuff sometimes. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: too much, and I know it's a lot for everybody.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything to anybody. I'm not saying you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: need to do anything. I'm just like, I don't know
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying because
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this is where I say shit sometimes. I think, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And if it feels like I'm pointing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: fingers at you, yeah, I'm not trying to do anything
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, I just like, I don't know.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I just have to talk about how I'm feeling.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And sometimes there's just nobody really to fucking talk about
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: it too. Or there is, but it's like, I don't know.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You know, this is what we've always done here. So
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: praise be man. Um, Yeah, and God, thank you just
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for letting me exist. I know that there's suffering. There's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: always been suffering, right? There's always been suffering. And thank
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you for giving me just a place to exist today. Yeah,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: thank you for just giving me food, shelter. Yeah. It's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: just a lot, man. And it's painful sometimes, you know.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And it's just like, I don't know. And sometimes I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: think it's just like how we operate, like how I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: operate as a person. You know, it's like, I don't know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: It would just seem like we're better than this. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's okay to be scared. And I don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: give a fuck. You know, I do. I do, but
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I just like, I don't like the fucking McRib. I'll
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: say this, man. It makes me think when I was
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a kid, uh, and, and, and look, and I understand, like,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I can say some stuff that people can't say because
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: my job isn't at risk. I work for myself. I'm
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sure it probably is at risk somehow. I'm sure. Um,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: but I don't know that, you know, and, um, but
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it just gets scary to think that we could get
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: into a place where you're not allowed to go. Like, like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like would somebody be allowed to go to a Patriots
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: game if they, um, support, uh, Palestine? Like, like, are
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: they going to start like running an optical test on
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: somebody to make sure that they, you know, like, yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I see you in an Amendola Jersey, but do you,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you know, do you support Palestine? You know, Are they
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: just going to start saying Hamas is in the stands? Like,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it's kind of, it's crazy to think.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: It's just scary. I don't know. But that's the fear.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: That's what my fear is. It's like, well, if there's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a country doing this, their government is doing this, and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that country owns a lot of our country, or is obviously, like,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: who's next? And that, like, I'm not a smart guy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I'm smart about a couple of things,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but I'm not, I know I'm not like a big
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: information guy. So I just, I don't know. I can't
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: be the only one that's thinking about this or feeling
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: or like, or feeling about it. You know, I don't know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: It's okay. It's okay. You know, it's scary. And so what?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm scared. Or I'm fucking, you know, it's uncomfortable. You know?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Spin that shit. Spin that shit. But TikTok just serves
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you up another thing, you know? Another Down Syndrome guy
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: with a hammer or whatever or fucking, you know, the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: new iPhone 7000. It can tell if your brother's gay
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: or whatever the second he, you know, looks at it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Or the McRib or the fucking McFish or
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the McFat or whatever. It's all back. You know, here's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: another another dancing with the stars. We just found a Chihuahua.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That can recite the Bhagavad Gita. It just we every
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: there's so much information we can't even I can't even
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: feel anymore half the time. I try to have a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: feeling and it's just like, I need a tempeh lemon pepper.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like I fucking close my eyes to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: try to get an earnest, instinctual connection with God. I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: got a pocket full of money. Who the fuck hold it?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And it's just like, it's a lot. It's a lot.
