Hes 18. Hes in city hall in beaverton, oregon. And according to him, hes high on mushrooms. So he starts a fight with some cops. They all wrestle, and then jared grabs a cops gun and shoots it. More cops jump in. It ends up taking seven cops two full minutes to restrain jared, and he makes it out alive. This is white privilege. If that idea bothers you, then lets just call it benefit of the doubt. Those cops give jared the benefit of the doubt that his life matters, that his life is worth saving, even when he takes one of their guns and shoots it.

But jared, he got probation and a fine and just a bump on the forehead. On this episode, were talking about the difference between two minutes and a few seconds.

Just watch the news. But the question is, are we finally ready to do the work it takes to really make america the just, equity and great place its always claimed to be . Ah, the First Episode of united shades of america. Such an innocent time. I know many of you remember it, because i heard about it all the time. Youre the kkk guy. Why would you film with the kkk . America doesnt even have that type of racism anymore. Hmm. Youre right. Its gotten way worse. And that was all before covid19 and before four cops in minneapolis killed george floyd. Rather than just treat him like a human. Before protests, a Police Station burning to the ground. Theres an africanamerican Man Threatening my life. Before too
Well, good friday evening to you from our headquarters here in new york. Day 78 of the Trump Administration saw both praise and condemnation in the wake the president s decision to send 59 Cruise Missiles into syria. Arguably the biggest consequence from a geopolitical standpoint. The strain on the already lets call it complicated relationship between washington and moscow. A putin spokesman kaeld called this a, quote, significant blow to relations with the u. S. And here in new york, that was on public display today at the united nations. We strongly condemn the illegitimate actions by the u. S. The consequences of this for regional and International Stability could be extremely serious. It could be that russia is knowingly allowing chemical weapons to remain in syria. It could be that russia has been incompetent ten in its efforts to remove the chemical weapons. Or it could be that the assad regime is playing the russians for fools. The United States took a very measured step last ni

The Trump Administration is signaling a new round of sanctions on syria is forthcoming. There are also reports tonight the pentagon is working to determine whether russia, as you may
