Trump is now president of the United States. 33 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,200 We are going to make America so great again. 34 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:59,040 When Trump won the selection, I didn't know what to do. 35 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,360 I couldn't watch the news. 36 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,280 He've ended the war on beautiful clean call. 37 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,400 North Korea best not make any more threats 38 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760 to the United States, this is my honor. 39 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,280 Your organization is terrible. 40 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,120 Let's go. 41 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Right now is a confusing fucking time in the world. 42 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown 43 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,240 of Muslims entering the United States. 44 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,760 This demigod is like gotten control of us. 45 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,320 I hate to tell you Puerto Rico, 46 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680 but you thrown our budget a little out of whack. 47 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,520 I don't know what I'm saying. 48 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Trump, I think sparked the rise of division, 49 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480 racism, sexism, xenophobia. 50 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Just 12 through hundreds of people. 51 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Yes, I think there's blame on both sides. 52 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,480 You never have racism come out of a cave 53 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880 like it has under his administration. 54 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,440 People die crossing that wall. 55 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Maybe they'll just stay on their side. 56 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,080 It's a witch hunt. 57 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960 You are fake news. 58 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,760 The ambulances are coming and going. 59 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,680 It comes from China. 60 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,280 One people, one nation, and another crisis. 61 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Proud boys, stand back and stand by. 62 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,600 The political crisis, which has always been ongoing, 63 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000 but it seems to be more of a crisis now 64 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,040 than anything I've ever beheld in my life. 65 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Anytime you have fascism rear its ugly face, 66 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,640 they will always be a greater hunger for resistance arts. 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,480 The time is ripe for people to be fighting that shit. 68 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,920 The cultural climate right now 69 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,160 is fantastic for resistance arts. 70 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,200 Art is not a mirror, but a homer. 71 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640 But we should shape the world. 72 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,720 My weapon is my paybrush. 73 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,720 That's how I fight. 74 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Art could really disrupt mainstream narratives. 75 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,680 I honestly can say that the arts have saved my life. 76 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,760 It's something that will change the world. 77 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,000 I see it as a voice for the voiceless. 78 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,640 The early '80s, when I first saw the Robbie Kanal, 79 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,200 President Reagan, contradiction posters all over Los Angeles. 80 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880 God, this is a kid, you know, and I asked my mom, 81 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,560 I was like, that's the president, 82 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,040 and they're saying something bad about the president. 83 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,160 And she's like, yeah. 84 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760 And I go, can you do that? 85 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,320 She's like, yeah, it's a free country. 86 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,920 You can say anything you want. 87 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,240 And right then, it quit. 88 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,640 When I realized that art could be an effective tool 89 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,400 for bringing about change in the world, 90 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440 was when I was on death row, 91 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,920 people started doing things like screen printing, 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,480 pre-the West Memphis three T-shirts. 93 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,000 People would hold art shows to pay for attorneys 94 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,280 and private investigators and DNA testing, 95 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,080 all that sort of stuff. 96 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,840 Art really was a very vital component 97 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,320 that led to me eventually being released from death row. 98 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,480 The power of art is a tale of the truth 99 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,880 that you won't get from a bureaucrats or politicians. 100 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,920 So it exposes them and reflects that. 101 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520 When I was in the Black Panther Party, 102 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320 you had a whole grassroots community 103 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,080 that wasn't a reading community, 104 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,600 but learned through observation and participation. 105 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,600 So if they seen the graphics and the visuals, 106 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,400 they could get to just the story. 107 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,240 You had people who saw in the images, 108 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,080 maybe their apples, their fathers and their brothers. 109 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040 So now they become heroes in the artwork themselves. 110 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,720 The Black Panther Party, the African American community, 111 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,600 became a national and an international icon 112 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,200 that transcended boundaries. 113 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:16,880 With every movement, there's been a movement of art 114 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,760 that goes with it that's been made by the people 115 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,600 to kind of like stand up and fight 116 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 against whatever it is they're fighting against. 117 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,160 The Black Panther Party for self-defense 118 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,200 calls upon the American people in general 119 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,320 to take careful note racist police agencies 120 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,360 throughout the country are intensifying the terror, 121 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,480 brutality, murder and repression of Black people. 122 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Any progressive, radical or revolutionary change, 123 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200 it's come from below. 124 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960 The people who made the Berlin Wall fall, 125 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,480 the people who destroyed apartheid, 126 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,240 the people who dismantled Jim Crow 127 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,000 had no more intelligence, power, money, courage 128 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,800 or creativity than anyone watching this right now. 129 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,200 They stood up in their place in time 130 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,080 for more just and decent household workplace, 131 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,640 school, country, world and just did it. 132 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440 A lot of people feel like spectators in the world 133 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,840 that they've been told that they need to sit on the sidelines 134 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,160 while other people shape things. 135 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360 I believe that the more people contributing their voice 136 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,080 in a creative way, the better the world will be. 137 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:48,000 Younger generations often feel jaded by politics 138 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,520 and they think that there's no hope, 139 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,080 there's no room for them, in utilizing urban art, 140 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,680 Shepard was really able to activate 141 00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,360 a younger generation of voters. 142 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:04,880 His artwork became like a huge part of American politics, 143 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,680 part of history now. 144 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,640 I use what I call the inside, outside strategy. 145 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,800 I'll do illegal stuff, but when I get the opportunity 146 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600 to put something that expresses my point of view 147 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,480 on a big building legally, even if the person 148 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,720 who's building it is doesn't understand 149 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,720 the potential antagonism, once it's there, 150 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,520 it's creating a conversation. 151 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,160 When you do something intelligent 152 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,160 that makes people go, shit, that's super effective. 153 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,920 Look at what Banksy's done, I mean it's unbelievable 154 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,800 how he's actually got his name out there like that. 155 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,120 I mean, I think he's fucking genius. 156 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:59,960 You know, my favorite is Banksy because he's witty 157 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,280 and he's interesting and he works in so many different, 158 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,120 you know, levels. 159 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720 Man, he did one of the Gaza Strip. 160 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,520 The hole in the wall and it's like paradise on the other side, 161 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,680 that was kind of crazy to me. 162 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,480 I was like amazed by the message. 163 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,000 Like I said, so many things went out. 164 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,160 One word being said. 165 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,440 Resistance art gets people to think about 166 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,800 the things they don't want to think about. 167 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:34,480 We all can live in our own sort of curated realities, 168 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,200 but these things that exist in public space 169 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,200 force people to have more of a community conversation. 170 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480 I'm always doing it and of course, 171 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,680 in decline has been a major force. 172 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,560 We received a message from the activist art group 173 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,600 in decline this morning. 174 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,280 The billboard is supposed to say shoot a 50 caliber, 175 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,280 but now it says, shoot a school kid. 176 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,440 Intervening in billboards around guns, 177 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,080 I think is pretty provocative. 178 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,400 You know, I admire the ambition and the courage. 179 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,720 Two billboards each with a mannequin and a noose 180 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,800 around its neck. 181 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,880 That's some pretty bold statement. 182 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,440 That's, that's some bullsy shit. 183 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Yeah, I need it. 184 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,080 In decline is pretty militaristic in the way 185 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,160 it puts everything together. 186 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,000 We have to be. 187 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:32,360 You've been around 20 years and virtually every single time 188 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,720 you go outside to create something as a crime. 189 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,440 And we're gonna develop a pretty immense rap sheet. 190 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,280 Most of the risks involve legal risks, 191 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,200 which are plenty and they're real. 192 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,360 You know, I've been to jail for art and graffiti 193 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,240 and it's not stopping me. 194 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,120 The group in decline is a group of sick individuals 195 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,840 who hate Trump and his supporters 196 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,480 and think it's funny to degrade us 197 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,560 and then excuse it by calling it art. 198 00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:07,280 We don't take ourselves too seriously obviously 199 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,240 and that's super important. 200 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,600 You good? 201 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,200 But we also know what, we also know where we stand. 202 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:22,360 I think artists have a combination of jobs to do. 203 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,080 Number one, whatever is wrong in the world, 204 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,560 if you have a voice, 205 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:29,920 you should certainly be furthering that conversation. 206 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,960 Once Trump came in office, 207 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,120 they really spurred us into action. 208 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,160 We knew this guy was gonna assume that he was above the law. 209 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,240 So we wanna pull the rope in the opposite direction 210 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,680 for these four years and kind of join people 211 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:44,360 and be on the right side of history. 212 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,480 March of 2018, we booked a room 213 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,200 at the Trump Hotel in New York City. 214 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,840 The Trump Hotel staff came out 215 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,680 and graciously took all of our bags 216 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,360 up to our room for us. 217 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,920 What they didn't know was in those bags 218 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,320 where all of our materials, 219 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,400 including about 12 live rats. 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,960 We stripped the entire hotel down to the bones. 221 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,280 Once the room was completely empty, 222 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,600 we constructed a jail cell 223 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,160 and then put a Trump impersonator in the jail cell 224 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,400 and surrounded him with live rats and McDonald's wrappers. 225 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,760 The Trump in the hotel room with the cape. 226 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,960 Yeah, that blew my head off. 227 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,080 Only thing I could think the whole time I was watching was, 228 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,080 what is he gonna say what he sees this? 229 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,200 In the client is doing some of the most extravagant 230 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,040 takeovers anybody's ever seen. 231 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:51,400 The installation work, the crew, the planning, 232 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,080 the amount of people and the amount of people that get reached. 233 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,920 There's no way to not have a reaction. 234 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,240 I think the more successful in the client is, 235 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440 the more enemies in the client has. 236 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:32,360 I was reluctant about doing this in a year. 237 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,520 That's why I'm masked up, 238 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,440 because I know they didn't be watching this. 239 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,680 Respectful in decline. 240 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,880 For doing shit, you're not supposed to. 241 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,880 Shit, you could get in a lot of trouble for her, 242 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,840 but that's the chance you take. 243 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,000 For art and for being an activist. 244 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,400 You have to be willing to take shit, 245 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,240 'cause you will take shit, you know? 246 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,680 For taking a polarizing position, you're gonna take shit. 247 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,560 Color Conakova was sentenced to two years in prison 248 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,520 on charges of hooliganism after taking part 249 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,880 in the Pussy Ride punk protest staged in Moscow's main cathedral. 250 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,800 We got locked inside prison for two years. 251 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,600 We were told by the government, you have to admit 252 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,840 that you're guilty and you have to bring deep condolences 253 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,640 to Pushing for being harmed by you and be like, 254 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,440 "Hi, I actually love lesbian Pushing." 255 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,920 And then you will be let go with it. 256 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,920 No, we don't really see ourselves in this light. 257 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,360 And we stayed in jail. 258 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,080 And we were prepared to die for what we believe in. 259 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Pussy Riot in Russia that sticks in your fucking head. 260 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080 It embarrasses Putin, 'cause he could not control them, 261 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,640 and it gets you America as if people connect to them. 262 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Pussy Riot was the one thing that I saw growing up 263 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000 in a suburban town. 264 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,800 If they can make music subjecting government, 265 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000 then I can do something in my town. 266 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,680 Sunrise has used their logo and their color, 267 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,920 the color yellow, which is so bright. 268 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,960 And they've flooded offices of Nancy Pelosi, 269 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,240 and it's a sea of yellow. 270 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:46,040 Our party needs to work for us, not for the 1% and the wealthy. 271 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,600 It's impossible to change the man's game 272 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,440 by playing by their rules. 273 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,160 So we have to go outside of those limits. 274 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720 This is all self-care, and this is not the fact 275 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560 that we are born and made a better future for our kids, 276 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,400 and it's the fact that it's the same. 277 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,920 Breaking the law is a reminder to young people 278 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,160 that the laws have to change. 279 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,320 Like, why are we supposed to be following laws 280 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,520 when corporations are destroying our planet? 281 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,680 I mean, you look at Star Wars, it's 282 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,360 about a rebel alliance, you know? 283 00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:19,160 The rebel alliance is fighting against the dark lords, 284 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,320 and we have that situation right now. 285 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,440 There are actually people hell-bent on destroying the planet. 286 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,200 Putin and Trump, they are everything that they hate. 287 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,800 Not to crap out of it, would you? 288 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,720 They're both misogynists. 289 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,680 And I love the women. 290 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,040 They both don't give a flying fuck about environmental issues. 291 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,640 So we have to fight back. 292 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,080 Now is the best time in the world to fuck shit up, 293 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,640 and I mean that in the best way possible. 294 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,840 I mean it with love, in the old punk rock fashion, 295 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520 fucking shit up, which is really fixing things. 296 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,760 In the good old days, this doesn't happen, 297 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,280 because they used to treat them very, very rough. 298 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,240 And when they protested once, they would not do it again, 299 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,600 so easily. 300 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,760 Beautiful lesson that I've learned 301 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,640 and this sunrise is like how to use my voice 302 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,160 and turns out you need a screen. 303 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:28,920 First of all, just doing anything 304 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,680 you're not supposed to do is fun. 305 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,400 You don't do stuff that hurts people, 306 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,920 but you do stuff that fucks with people. 307 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440 If you're not having fun when you're living your life 308 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,440 and fighting the man, they win. 309 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,920 Get angry, get pissed, make change. 310 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,640 I would encourage people to break rules 311 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,160 that don't make sense, because it teaches us 312 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,760 a lot about why rules exist in the first place. 313 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,200 And it helps us to change rules that aren't working. 314 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,680 It really is, by any means, necessary. 315 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,680 Do what it takes. 316 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:22,640 That sucks a little, but I'm not going to be upset. 317 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,760 Yeah. 318 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,760 Oh, fuck you, that feel good. 319 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,400 You want something that's going to be able to save 320 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,120 a human being, no matter what mother nature throws at him. 321 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:46,280 This is the Halliburton survival ball. 322 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,080 The activism and the mischief kind of came up together, 323 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200 although I didn't realize there was an activism 324 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,560 component at first. 325 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Today, the country's largest business lobby, 326 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,560 the Chamber of Commerce, got punked. 327 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:10,960 It will reverse its position on the climate change bill, 328 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,440 and once a carbon tax, if you will. 329 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,840 If we are impersonating someone in power, 330 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,040 we will try to announce a utopian vision that's 331 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,120 like what everybody wants to hear them say, 332 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:27,960 but they otherwise wouldn't be likely to say. 333 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,920 Clean coal is a technology that has not only not been proven, 334 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,520 it basically doesn't exist. 335 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,680 OK, this is AmeriCorps' label. 336 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,440 I'm with the US Chamber of Commerce. 337 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,280 This is not an official US Chamber of Commerce event. 338 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,480 Can I see your business car? 339 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,200 Can I see yours? 340 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,280 How do you hear representing the US Chamber of Commerce? 341 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,120 Yes, I am. 342 00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:51,720 OK, well I work there, and you do not look familiar to me at all. 343 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,880 Could I see your business car? 344 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,280 If we wanted to, as just regular citizens, 345 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,360 have a voice in democracy, culture jamming 346 00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:05,800 is sort of a way to weasel in and say something louder 347 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,880 than you're usually allowed to. 348 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,800 This guy is a fraud, he's lying. 349 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:16,480 Let's call it a prank, you know. 350 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,960 Lighten up, have a sense of humor. 351 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,880 I try to practice things to say before the judge. 352 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,200 I quit thinking about, by any means, 353 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,920 necessary being like something violent. 354 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,760 I literally feel like that's like a creative call. 355 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,240 Oh, hey! 356 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,520 I've always thought that a plan was the best thing 357 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,160 to destroy their sense of dignity. 358 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840 Let's get this round yourself with troublemakers. 359 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,480 People that were just natural rulebreakers 360 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,600 did something visceral. 361 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,360 Get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble. 362 00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,800 Like say, Lenny Bruce. 363 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,360 And then it won't matter, even Randy, 364 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,640 if you're a colored, and I'm Jewish. 365 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,040 He was humorous, but it was to show that society is sick. 366 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,320 Hunter's pure gums, huh? 367 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,800 He was the guy I had to meet. 368 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,520 When I started in my clinical career, growing career, 369 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,160 I wanted to change the world. 370 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,440 And 50 years later, I've achieved it. 371 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,360 It's now worse than it was when I started. 372 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,320 You'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you. 373 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,520 Shit's fucked up, and we have a responsibility as artists, 374 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,880 if your superpower is singing a song that people will resonate 375 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,040 with, or you're good at drawing on a wall, 376 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,560 we all have a responsibility to make beauty out of nothing. 377 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,840 Look at that attitude. 378 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,400 There's never been a successful social movement 379 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,080 that hasn't had a great soundtrack. 380 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,280 Black flag, the sex pistols, the clash. 381 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,040 I mean, I was nine years old when I heard fuck the police. 382 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,200 I'm not interested in just being an ally. 383 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,360 I want to be an accomplice. 384 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:20,040 Praise the middle fingers in the sky. 385 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,040 Play that. 386 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Die already, not defy the one-man wall city. 387 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,640 A minor threat, a black flag, did something different. 388 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,120 And it started hacking globally. 389 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,240 Punk is not a movement. 390 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,360 It is a culture. 391 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:41,440 It is a rebel culture. 392 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,160 The resistance musicians, the artists who are rebellious, 393 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,480 they're not making music in order to sell music. 394 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,240 They're making music to inspire other people 395 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,640 and to wake people up, right? 396 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,240 So that line between commercial and what 397 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,240 you want to call resistance art or rebellious stuff, 398 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,160 it's not a fucking line. 399 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:56,880 It's a wall. 400 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,840 You got to make art because it's in your heart, 401 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,120 not because of how it's going to affect your bank account. 402 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960 My job as a radical political musician 403 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,560 is not to lecture you. 404 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,560 My argument is made in the Moscow. 405 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:30,320 If you have a voice, you need to use your voice. 406 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080 The days of passively making art for art's sake, 407 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,960 like those days, ended a long time ago. 408 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,320 I've had a lot of experience doing the right thing 409 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,640 and knowing that it was going to really hurt my career. 410 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,480 You're always going to get shit. 411 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,600 And you have to just say, fuck it. 412 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,640 It's still worth it, but it's hard sometimes. 413 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,200 We've been banned from certain countries 414 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,800 because of what we say. 415 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,800 I mean, we're still on a list of bans who 416 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,600 are banned from the radio. 417 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,840 We were carrying deeply about our principles, our politics. 418 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,320 So it was always our goal to communicate it 419 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,760 to be your audience, even if our art is not comfortable for them. 420 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,160 Art's a good story. 421 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,960 The song is a good story. 422 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,480 And those stories are what get to people. 423 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,680 And they got to meet me. 424 00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:28,960 That has been the role of art since human beings 425 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,720 began creating art. 426 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,160 They created songs, dances, theater in order 427 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,440 to make sense of the universe. 428 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,160 I needed to breathe. 429 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,400 It's my outlet. 430 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,560 It's my everything, you know? 431 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:48,560 Art also can call into question things 432 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,200 that are assumed as truth. 433 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:59,480 As political activists or artists, 434 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,760 we're supposed to question everything, like everything. 435 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,440 And it's exhausting to question everything. 436 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,400 But you should just look at everything and why is it like that? 437 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,720 And is that the best way for it to be? 438 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,880 Why should a company own a million billboards 439 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,000 and I own none, you know? 440 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Our public spaces have become all about advertising. 441 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,880 And our media space is all about who 442 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,320 has the biggest megaphone, which is usually 443 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,640 determined by money or power. 444 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,760 The problem with our side of the equation 445 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,080 is it's all the money exist on the other side. 446 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,600 They have the money, we don't. 447 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,600 It's not there. 448 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,200 You have to do this because it's the right thing, 449 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,640 yeah, because it's everybody's got to love you. 450 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,960 There's that place that wants your money. 451 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,520 There's that place that wants your money. 452 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,640 Here's a drive-through, they want your money. 453 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,960 Here's a vacation you could buy. 454 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,040 Here's an hotel you can stay in. 455 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,240 Here's a car wash. 456 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:54,560 Or here's a free alternative view. 457 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,520 A little ends you can look at as you fucking out here. 458 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,480 Take it or leave it, you know? 459 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,560 It's free. 460 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,720 In fact, it cost us a lot of money. 461 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,600 We put it there, and we did it for you. 462 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,520 Every day, 365 days a year, seven days a week, 463 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,400 wherever you go, you're going to see visions. 464 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:23,160 Whether you're positive or next, if you don't see them. 465 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,680 Everybody wins if art got a message 466 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,720 and got something to say. 467 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,760 So for me, it makes sense to make things that 468 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,360 can open your eyes or talk about something that really 469 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:37,400 can matter. 470 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,440 People can see something and then 471 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:46,160 inhabit that space and have their own independent reaction 472 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,720 to things. 473 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,440 Art is so deeply affects people. 474 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,680 Visuals affect people. 475 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,200 It's really important to pull people in. 476 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,720 Then they can feel like they have power. 477 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,240 When my mother took me to the shops, 478 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,160 when I was like six years old, and there was a bit of graffiti, 479 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,880 it's gone now, but it was a frightful piece. 480 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,200 And it was that kind of thing that started making me think 481 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,880 that there was a message out there that wasn't just 482 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,080 advertisements. 483 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,880 And I think that's when I started looking at graffiti. 484 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,440 I was attracted to graffiti because of the 485 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Robin Hood aspect of it all. 486 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,640 It feels good because it really feels like 487 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040 you're going against the oppressor. 488 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:39,720 The opinion in general is really pure art for. 489 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,280 It's really democratic. 490 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,160 Anybody can do it, and you can do it anywhere. 491 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,240 I realized that I could talk with the people to 492 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400 communicate with the society and share my 493 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,080 awareness about things that I don't like. 494 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,560 I don't know, there's just some excitement to it that just, 495 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,200 I still can't stop doing it. 496 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,800 Some of the guys in my family, what are you doing? 497 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,240 Fucking write your name over and they're like, 498 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,080 "What's wrong with you?" 499 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,840 Like, you just don't get it. 500 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,360 Yeah, it is almost like a drug. 501 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:17,200 It's addicting. 502 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,600 These guys are all criminals, I'm a criminal. 503 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800 It's like, what if we just did it during the day? 504 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,480 You know, what if you got it like an orange vest 505 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,040 and, you know, did it during the day? 506 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,000 Then it would look like that's your job. 507 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,040 Sometimes the police would just stop and watch you. 508 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,120 A really important thing to get across to people 509 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,920 who are new at this is to use humor. 510 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,560 You know, if you go toe to toe with the cops, 511 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,880 they're gonna bash you to the fucking ground. 512 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120 But if you can make the army guys or the cops laugh 513 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,560 or see the humanity in what you're doing, 514 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560 that's subversive in the best way possible. 515 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,840 I think breaking the rules that make a point. 516 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,360 If you're making a fucking point, 517 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,400 it's a good thing. 518 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:08,680 We like using humor because it's fun. 519 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,520 What are you doing? 520 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,240 I'm actually just closing my account. 521 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,120 Guys, guys, he's closing his account. 522 00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:19,320 It's a hook. 523 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,320 It's like a, it's a way to get people interested 524 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,200 and then to deliver the sort of medicine. 525 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240 If you get people laughing and they're endorphins 526 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,520 or up, again, you can slide a nice message in there. 527 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,480 You can slide something really socially conscious in there. 528 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:39,440 Either make it really, really pretty 529 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,680 or make it really, really funny. 530 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,560 And that's how you get past people's defenses. 531 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,040 Political cartoons are usually humorous. 532 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,800 It has a social critique, 533 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,160 but disguised as an innocent comic strip. 534 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,880 So you think cartoons could be extremely effective. 535 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,280 Humor is great, it's a kind of dynamic 536 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,680 where people can come in that may not agree with you 537 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,880 and it creates a space where they may listen 538 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,080 to your point of view, 539 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,240 where if you just shout them down, 540 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,880 they're just gonna freeze up. 541 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,280 That's very funny. 542 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,960 I wish I understand it. 543 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,360 You know, if you talk to a lot of people 544 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,120 who are involved in movements 545 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440 over throw authoritarian regimes, 546 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,920 they often say that humor was what kept the movement going. 547 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,600 You saw Charlie Choplin making fun of Hitler 548 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,560 and that went around the world 549 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,560 and that studied in film classes now. 550 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,760 And it's funny. 551 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,320 And it's talking about one of the most 552 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600 dangerous political figures in all history. 553 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,200 You know, dictators do not like to be made 554 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,120 but fascist, absolutely do not like to be made 555 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,960 but Donald Trump does not like to be made but of. 556 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,680 You know, a president is a narcissist. 557 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,160 He has a golf course where he would like to be buried. 558 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,600 We decided that him being the only tombstone 559 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,840 would be kind of boring. 560 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,000 So we gave him some friends 561 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,560 to remind him of some of the things that he buried. 562 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,680 We snuck him with a golf course in the middle of the night, 563 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,880 built the cemetery, 564 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,920 you know, lodged in the tombstones deep into the earth 565 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,680 so he couldn't get him out and then just got the fuck out. 566 00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:31,480 My favorite tombstone, the heroized decency, 567 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,040 he moved on her like a bitch 568 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,520 because there's nothing so clever that we can think of 569 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,840 that like supersedes 570 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,240 what comes out of his own mouth sometimes. 571 00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:49,080 During the Obama years, I'd say 572 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,520 that protest art was not flourishing. 573 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,680 But desperate times motivate people. 574 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,400 In decline, especially in the last few years, 575 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,840 lined up with the right message 576 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,840 right ahead of the right moment. 577 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,240 The Walk of Fame piece, 578 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,440 which was made about a terrible sequence of events 579 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,960 and putting the names of people who lost their lives 580 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280 to police brutality on the Walk of Fame, is so moving. 581 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,680 It's more moving now than when it was made. 582 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,320 We have cops that are murdering people. 583 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,840 It's me, it's me. 584 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,600 You broke the contract! 585 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,560 When you killed us in the streets and he gave a fuck! 586 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:31,800 Oh my god! 587 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,480 I think that art runs parallel with the pent up anger, 588 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,440 the unresolved calls for justice. 589 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,960 Stop, now! 590 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,320 Everybody knows that there wouldn't like to be 591 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,720 a black man in this country. 592 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,360 It's never lost its power. 593 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,000 It's getting more and more powerful 594 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,880 because it keeps fucking happening. 595 00:33:53,880 --> 00:34:03,880 Over years, as much as I would say 596 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,640 in the context of the police abuse, 597 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,240 much as things have changed, 598 00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:09,680 some things stay the same. 599 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:15,720 Racism and the police murders of black people 600 00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:18,880 is absolutely as American as baseball or apple pie. 601 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,440 You know what else is an ingrained tent pole 602 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,640 of American society is resistance to injustice. 603 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:34,640 That's been there from day one. 604 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,280 I have a dream today. 605 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,680 When you wanted to pay the price for freedom, 606 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,840 then you get it. 607 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,200 I am! 608 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,560 Mr. Cabernet taking the knee. 609 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,640 That was a powerful, powerful statement. 610 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,560 That's informed, enlightened, educated, young people. 611 00:34:53,560 --> 00:35:00,000 Our job as creatives is to illustrate the truth 612 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,400 that those people are standing up for. 613 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,480 So, I painted him in a faculty's uniform. 614 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,680 Later on, I did Muhammad Ali as T'Challa 615 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:12,960 to go with Kaepernick. 616 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,880 'Cause they're sort of like on the same parallel 617 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,920 in terms of like they're speaking their heart. 618 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,800 America has never been great for people of color. 619 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,200 And, you know, that's something that needs to be addressed. 620 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,360 Let's make America great for the first time. 621 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,480 Anytime you have that, and it goes against 622 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,480 the status quo, then you come public and then number one. 623 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,720 Here in Atlanta, an artist created a mural in 2017. 624 00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:39,800 But this week, it was torn down. 625 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,760 And the artist thinks it's no coincidence 626 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,160 it happened just before the big game. 627 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,760 Literally, a bulldozer bulldozing over the building 628 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,640 that the murals was on. 629 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,160 This is the first day of Black History Month. 630 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,680 They went with that ball to destroy 631 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,840 a mural to Kaepernick Super Bowl weekend 632 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,600 in the blackest city in America. 633 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,920 But that's what happened. 634 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,880 A bus that was transporting the players 635 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,600 drove down that street. 636 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,640 So it was like, y'all went and bulldozed the building 637 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,480 'cause Colin Kaepernick's on the building? 638 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,320 I mean. 639 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:20,240 So Ash came up with the idea for Capitol Bowl. 640 00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:23,040 She was like, let's paint Kaepernick all over the city. 641 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,680 You attack us, you wanna response. 642 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,240 I reach out to the streets. 643 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:36,400 When there's a need, we come together. 644 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,040 This is like the biggest military industrial complex 645 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,240 and they're scared of a painting. 646 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:47,960 What they're scared of is the revolution. 647 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,440 They're scared of us coming together 648 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,800 and just shutting shit down. 649 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,440 And being like, you know what? 650 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,600 We're fucking done with it. 651 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,280 We will definitely not shut up and dribble. 652 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,760 Artists and athletes and others 653 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,760 who use their very public platform 654 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,520 to speak out against injustice. 655 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,720 Often, yes, they do become ostracized, 656 00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,600 but the righteousness of their acts 657 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,680 proves to be heroic. 658 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,960 Kaepernick lost a job 'cause he was like, 659 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,240 highlight and police brutality. 660 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:25,760 It's our job to back him up. 661 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,920 And we're still going through this shit. 662 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,960 Like, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor. 663 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,880 And that's the spark they live to purify. 664 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:47,760 I think there's been a deafening silence 665 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,880 in recent years leading up to this sudden explosion 666 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:52,960 onto the streets. 667 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,560 The West Police brutality goes and kills Jordan Floyd. 668 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,200 It wasn't much for all of us to come together 669 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,880 and actually make a push. 670 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,680 What we've been seeing lately 671 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,480 is both an awakening and a reckoning 672 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,440 with regards to the issue of race in America. 673 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,480 I am your president of law and order 674 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,320 and an ally of all peaceful protesters. 675 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,960 Donald Trump has brought a lot of this into the open. 676 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,520 I don't see him as a threat. 677 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,360 I see him as a call to arms. 678 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,120 Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters 679 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,560 for freedom and liberty and the American dream. 680 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,080 The best is yet to come. 681 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:52,960 Divide and conquer is how Trump and his cronies 682 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,520 and Bush and his cronies and Reagan and his cronies 683 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,600 and Hitler and his cronies. 684 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,960 That's how they control people. 685 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,560 Divide and conquer. 686 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,800 So unite and never give up. 687 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,360 You have a system that's murdering people 688 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,160 because of their color or the difference of their culture. 689 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,320 You have a system that's colonizing the world 690 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,240 and you're worried about a statue. 691 00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:25,120 If the statue represents some old way of thinking, 692 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,200 bring it down. 693 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,560 But all this shit. 694 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,800 And that's okay not to have in the middle of your city 695 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,200 a statue of people who killed your ancestors. 696 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,680 When you see injustice, fight it. 697 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,480 These older motherfuckers are stolen in your future. 698 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,360 And so the only option is to rebel. 699 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:13,800 I think we've got to see that a riot 700 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,200 is the language of the unheard. 701 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,800 And what is it that America has failed to heal? 702 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:30,840 Historically, we've divided a lot of the movements. 703 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,720 You know, we divide the feminist movement 704 00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:33,760 from the climate movement. 705 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,800 We separate black liberation from the free love movement 706 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,960 and those are all inextricably tied together. 707 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,640 That only happens when we bring everyone to the table. 708 00:40:45,380 --> 00:40:54,640 We need to be loud, be seen, and we need allies. 709 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:01,720 For those of you who are on the front lines 710 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:05,160 taking abuse, you have great company throughout history. 711 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:10,760 People exactly like yourselves have stood up 712 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,560 in times of great injustice and the only possible way 713 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,080 to make a more humane, a more decent planet 714 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,240 is for you to do what you're doing. 715 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,080 This is public space, and I think this generation 716 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,420 suddenly is reclaiming the street. 717 00:41:37,420 --> 00:41:41,320 You're seeing more of that punk rock 718 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,920 do-it-yourself aesthetic. 719 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,240 That drives new movements, not preserves old movements. 720 00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:51,320 There's no drug more potent than the spirit of rebellion. 721 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,400 If you're able to implement joy, 722 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,840 you're arming yourself with a psychological attribute 723 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,320 that your oppressor doesn't have. 724 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,760 Take up space, take up as much space as possible, 725 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960 be as loud as possible, and make things with your hands, 726 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,000 make actual objects, take up actual physical space, 727 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000 and get out there and make something. 728 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,320 If a living a life where you do what you want 729 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,400 and you encourage other people to live together 730 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,840 and to create their own fucking reality, 731 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,000 that's shit, and that pisses off the powerful 732 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,400 more than anything else. 733 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:26,080 The bigger the battle you're going through, 734 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,280 the greater the reward for coming out the other side. 735 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,360 The movement for black lives is being regarded 736 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,560 as one of the most powerful movements 737 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,800 in the history of human beings. 738 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,720 And what that means is it allows us to imagine a world 739 00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,000 in which racism no longer exists. 740 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,080 What does equity look like? 741 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,200 What could it look like if we didn't have prisons 742 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,560 or if we didn't have police? 743 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,560 You know, the role of the artist 744 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,960 is to be a mirror for society. 745 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,680 To do that, we actually have to be willing to 746 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,160 dig in deep and say the things that are really hard to say. 747 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:14,920 The power of artists is that we can create the images, 748 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,000 the songs, the films, the depictions 749 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,080 of what the future can look like and help people feel it. 750 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,160 There's no us versus them, it's just us. 751 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,920 Everybody in the world is us. 752 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,880 Fucking get that straight in your head 753 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:40,960 and we'll be all right. 754 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:58,960 ♪ I had a 2020 vision ♪ 755 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,360 ♪ Oh the last of the wrong time time ♪ 756 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,600 ♪ No more hate, no

trust a guy that won't have a beer with you 767 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,720 because that guy's probably lying to you 768 00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:33,520 and he's scared of loose lips 769 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,760 that he's gonna tell you the truth. 770 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,520 It looked like public space. 771 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,520 I didn't know it was private property, but okay, okay. 772 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,080 Here is police helicopter. 773 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,160 My parents are dead and I grew up in an apartment 774 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,800 and I've been through a lot of things, you know. 775 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,120 I got bad grades and once someone punched me, 776 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,120 the political really helps. 777 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,880 Fuck a man who don't like a dog. 778 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,640 Like dogs, they can smell evil 779 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:05,840 and if a guy doesn't like a dog, 780 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,520 so like Trump will not have a beer with you 781 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,360 and he don't like a dog. 782 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,640 So like, that's all I'm gonna say about him.
