░░░░░░░░ Covid all over the ░░░░░░░░ and the two years ░░░░░░░░ disaster that has ensued ░░░░░░░░ idea that we would ░░░░░░░░ go and basically bend ░░░░░░░░ knee and show up ░░░░░░░░ Beijing which let s ░░░░░░░░ honest is not an ░░░░░░░░ winter venue in the ░░░░░░░░ place is I think ░░░░░░░░ What I said starting ░░░░░░░░ year ago Bill I ░░░░░░░░ hey let s host ░░░░░░░░ Olympics in the United ░░░░░░░░ let s do it ░░░░░░░░ Western democracies let s ░░░░░░░░ turn our back on ░░░░░░░░ and let s have ░░░░░░░░ own winter Olympics We ░░░░░░░░ along with Canada and ░░░░░░░░ rest of the Western ░░░░░░░░ almost all of the ░░░░░░░░ Olympics medals anyway so ░░░░░░░░ is not like we ░░░░░░░░ undercutting that legitimacy Remember ░░░░░░░░ s crazy to me ░░░░░░░░ the All Star game ░░░░░░░░ pulled out of Atlanta ░░░░░░░░ a voting rights bill ░░░░░░░░ is actually more substantial ░░░░░░░░ terms of its access ░░░░░░░░ many other states in ░░░░░░░░ country So we pulled ░░░░░░░░ All Star game out ░░░░░░░░ Atlanta but we re ░░░░░░░░ to the Olympics in ░░░░░░░░ It s embarrassing and ░░░░░░░░ doesn t make any ░░░░░░░░ HEMMER It s a ░░░░░░░░ point Imagine if you ░░░░░░░░ an athlete here in ░░░░░░░░ U S right you ░░░░░░░░ testing negative every day ░░░░░░░░ get on a plane ░░░░░░░░ fly to Beijing you ░░░░░░░░ up there and you ░░░░░░░░ asymptomatic maybe you test ░░░░░░░░ you are confined to ░░░░░░░░ room 270 square feet ░░░░░░░░ three weeks possibly I ░░░░░░░░ t wish that upon ░░░░░░░░ Now Clay quickly I ░░░░░░░░ to slide this in ░░░░░░░░ is a minority owner ░░░░░░░░ the NBA team known ░░░░░░░░ the Golden State Warriors ░░░░░░░░ the podcast the issue ░░░░░░░░ Uighurs and concentration camps ░░░░░░░░ up Here is how ░░░░░░░░ exchange went Clip starts ░░░░░░░░ Nobody cares about what ░░░░░░░░ happening to the Uyghurs ░░░░░░░░ You bring it up ░░░░░░░░ you really care CALACANIS ░░░░░░░░ What do you mean ░░░░░░░░ cares PALIHAPITIYA And I ░░░░░░░░ that s nice that ░░░░░░░░ care The rest of ░░░░░░░░ don t care CALACANIS ░░░░░░░░ you are saying you ░░░░░░░░ don t care PALIHAPITIYA ░░░░░░░░ m telling you a ░░░░░░░░ hard ugly truth okay ░░░░░░░░ all the things that ░░░░░░░░ care about yes it ░░░░░░░░ below my line Clip ░░░░░░░░ HEMMER That got some ░░░░░░░░ He came back with ░░░░░░░░ statement of clarification he ░░░░░░░░ I recognize I come ░░░░░░░░ as lacking empathy I ░░░░░░░░ that entirely As a ░░░░░░░░ he is from Sri ░░░░░░░░ I do believe my ░░░░░░░░ fled a country with ░░░░░░░░ own set of human ░░░░░░░░ issues so this is ░░░░░░░░ that s very much ░░░░░░░░ of my lived experience ░░░░░░░░ be clear my belief ░░░░░░░░ that human rights matter ░░░░░░░░ in China the U ░░░░░░░░ or elsewhere Full stop ░░░░░░░░ that you say what ░░░░░░░░ Travis Well it s ░░░░░░░░ exact opposite of what ░░░░░░░░ just said So any ░░░░░░░░ somebody comes out with ░░░░░░░░ apology and they say ░░░░░░░░ you know when I ░░░░░░░░ the exact opposite yesterday ░░░░░░░░ actually meant the exact ░░░░░░░░ Here is what the ░░░░░░░░ is He said the ░░░░░░░░ part out loud about ░░░░░░░░ NBA The truth of ░░░░░░░░ matter is the NBA ░░░░░░░░ to be this social ░░░░░░░░ organization They don t ░░░░░░░░ care about any of ░░░░░░░░ genocide that is going ░░░░░░░░ in China because they ░░░░░░░░ cashing checks from China ░░░░░░░░ is actually a bigger ░░░░░░░░ than the United States ░░░░░░░░ for the NBA So ░░░░░░░░ said the quiet part ░░░░░░░░ loud But when you ░░░░░░░░ the quiet part out ░░░░░░░░ suddenly everybody says Wait ░░░░░░░░ minute We re now ░░░░░░░░ attention for our rank ░░░░░░░░ as it pertains to ░░░░░░░░ compared to the United ░░░░░░░░ issues And so they ░░░░░░░░ trot out the apology ░░░░░░░░ is a minority owner ░░░░░░░░ doesn t own the ░░░░░░░░ of the Golden State ░░░░░░░░ HEMMER About 10 of ░░░░░░░░ team Travis but the ░░░░░░░░ thing Bill here is ░░░░░░░░ know how many stories ░░░░░░░░ are or at least ░░░░░░░░ were last night about ░░░░░░░░ entire story on ESPN ░░░░░░░░ Do you know how ░░░░░░░░ actual media members who ░░░░░░░░ in the NBA and ░░░░░░░░ that they are woke ░░░░░░░░ run and chase after ░░░░░░░░ coach or every player ░░░░░░░░ time there is a ░░░░░░░░ little sliver of political ░░░░░░░░ and ask questions about ░░░░░░░░ Zero Everybody is pretending ░░░░░░░░ this story doesn t ░░░░░░░░ because it challenges the ░░░░░░░░ s woke agenda This ░░░░░░░░ an embarrassment it s ░░░░░░░░ outrage But guess what ░░░░░░░░ is par for the ░░░░░░░░ in the NBA where ░░░░░░░░ shut up and dribble ░░░░░░░░ China while they make ░░░░░░░░ sorts of issues about ░░░░░░░░ relatively compared to genocide ░░░░░░░░ in the United States.”
