hey you I am a Peter who is absolutely
not giving an inch Bernie Sanders picked
up a pretty good endorsement and a lot
of people would argue with that
statement as it is but allow me to say
what it was it's Joe Rogan Joe Rogan the
king of kind of ideologically
inconsistent
kind of left kind of right not sure
switches between things but based on
what guests is on etc etc people have
criticized Joe Rogan since forever and
we don't need to go through it again now
Joe Rogan had a couple of candidates on
he had Andrew yang on his show he had
Tulsi Gabbard on his show and he had
Bernie Sanders on his show Bernie
Sanders went on and did particularly
well sort of taking a cue from Cornel
West who had previously gone on maybe
about a month prior he expounded on a
very humanist view talked about where he
was coming from talked about the need to
meet people where they are and when
Bernie Sanders came on he did basically
the same thing point at WestEd except
for he also related his policy platform
to these Sam ideas to these same
attitudes to this Sam viewpoint and that
really pissed off bonafide media lives
as well as social media lives but like I
said at the beginning of this video this
is an important endorsement this matters
a lot Joe Rogan is like the perfect
representative of the kind of person I
said we need to be reaching out to in
the previous video now if we're talking
about class not so much but
representative of a demographic of the
working class which isn't particularly
political isn't particularly
ideologically consistent if we're going
to follow derogatory Marxist terms Joe
Rogan is a show for the lumpin
proletariat not really something I love
trafficking and however I think useful
for
straighting what we're talking about
here Bernie Sanders reached the guy who
reaches those folks on regular basis
there's a gas station a couple of blocks
from here that I get drinks from all
that I stopped there I get gasoline
because I Drive a gasoline car sorry I'm
destroying the planet with my vehicle
because I'm not reach anyways the guy
that works in there late at night
because I often go there late at night
because we have a terrible sleep
schedule in this house we try to
entertain ourselves while our children
are asleep which means between the hours
of 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. but anyways I
go there and he's got Joe Rogan on he's
a normal person he's not obviously like
of any specific demographic he wears a
like pretty normal-looking set of
clothing and doesn't have any particular
style here's the thing that guys vote
counts just as much as anyone's and
before you're like oh my god I don't
want to make any compromises with some
kind of person who likes Joe Rogan
because of things Joe Rogan has said at
some point here's the thing Bernie
Sanders didn't he made no ideological
compromises he won on the show and he
explained his specific platform and Joe
Rogan was like yep actually I like that
this my friends is the value of simply
going to people meeting them where they
are and calmly humanely explaining what
you want to do in the world this
nonsense screaming at people over how
bad they are
it doesn't help it hurts the cause every
single time you do it you think wow I'm
so good I'm fighting the bad guys here's
a lesson people need to learn
desperately quickly essentialism is bad
it's it's not a good idea
I know I'm essential izing essentialism
but it's bad it does not help it will
not get us anywhere especially in the
long term but not even really in the
short term we might feel good by a
centralized
we might feel good calling somebody bad
for whatever thing that they do wrong
but here's the problem you do something
wrong - you don't know everything you
aren't right all the time and that's not
evil you're not evil and yes sometimes
being wrong means accepting justifying
ideology for bad thing bigotry of all
kinds are justifying ideologies they
tell us it's okay for X problem or y
tragedy its present in all of our
socialization and a lot of people grow
up without counteracting information if
we want there to be less bigots the goal
has to be eradicating that justifying
ideology tons of awful sh*t happens in
this world and it doesn't happen because
bigots exist bigots exist because there
needs to be a justification for those
awful things happening for instance the
prison industrial complex is
specifically made to extract value from
basically illegal slavery near unpaid
labor that is an immensely profitable
enterprise that keeps wheels turning in
this society and it needs justification
because if you just described that to
someone people would say no no why I
don't agree with that I don't want that
in order for that to be okay though
people have to accept the prospect that
certain communities should be over
policed because that kind of person
mmm more likely to be bad weather it be
racial or whether it be class oriented
and it's often both you're not fighting
that when you talk about how a person is
bad or you aren't going to tolerate that
person's bullsh*t or whatever it doesn't
really matter exactly what we're saying
I mean I hate to repeat myself but we
need to understand that meeting people
where they are is the most important
thing no one who believes trans people
are a serious problem will ever be
convinced that they aren't by someone
telling them that they're bad for
thinking that you can't own people into
change but here's the thing I don't
think that
anyone actually thinks you can own
people into changing I think people
think you can own people into
disappearing that's the main thing and
the problem is you can't do that either
I mean you can harass people in the
committing suicide and people do that
but it's wrong to here's the key people
aren't just good or just bad everyone is
a little of both some more of one than
the other sure but never just one people
have reasons justifications they do
things because they think it's the thing
that makes the most sense now the reason
I'm talking to you today is because a
lot of those people follow people like
Joe Rogan who really like I said isn't
particularly ideologically consistent
and I'm not saying that is a criticism
every day people don't have to be
ideologically consistent and again no
Joe Rogan is not an everyday person but
he certainly speaks to everyday people
he certainly talks their language and
gets how they are he came probably from
a working-class background I don't know
for sure I am NOT going to look into it
because it doesn't matter that much to
me but that's what he reads to me
working-class Joe the fact that all
Bernie Sanders had to do was sit down
with Joe Rogan and explain his
viewpoints like a person humanely nice
not compromising anything but simply
just saying what he believes got him to
direct his audience to vote for Bernie
Sanders in the Democratic primary is
f*cking great if you don't believe
people can change if you don't believe
that a conversation is necessary with
people then what do you think about all
of these people you disagree with do you
think they're just gonna disappear do
you think that we're going to push them
into a cave and throw like pizza into
the cave every day or so that we know
that we're taking care of them but they
don't have access to any levers of power
I want that guy at the guy
station that I buy drinks from all the
time to have health care I want everyone
to have health care that's what the idea
of medicare-for-all is doing things
where we separate a group out and give
them a thing that we don't give everyone
else creates resentment and it f*cks
that program in the long term and it
opens the door for the kinds of
criticisms that these everyday people
might accept because they don't have a
counterpoint other than somebody
screaming that they're evil for
believing this then universality is a
key to shared experience and connection
and these are the things that counteract
all of the sh*t justifying ideology can
not hold up to open human connection if
we meet people where they are whether
that is in a conversation or on Joe
Rogan's f*cking podcast we will do
better and let me tell you the reason
media lives are so upset about this it's
a lot of people who do not want Bernie
Sanders to win and they know that this
is going to generate more votes for him
period that I mean that's that's
literally the long and short of it now
time for the value extraction portion of
