So you just have to like, be in 64 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,360 solidarity. And, you know, actually that's 65 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:26,360 one of the positives about activism in 2024, and that's 66 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,320 maybe one of the things that our government is realizing is very 67 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,000 different, is like this battle, this revolution is going to be 68 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,680 fought both on the streets and on the Internet. 69 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,040 And so, you know, at least like for those people who can't be 70 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,560 physically there, like the Internet is a powerful tool, 71 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,560 especially when I was seeing like that reject Finance Bill 72 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,520 2024 hashtag gets over 2 million. 73 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560 I'm I'm pretty sure it might have even gotten to 3,000,000. 74 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,720 But like, yeah, when I saw it, like when it was trending, it 75 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400 was like over 2 million. And I was just like, wow, like 76 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,360 the power of the Internet is insane. 77 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,160 So yeah, I'm doing as well as I can. 78 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Interestingly enough, I've been very creative. 79 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,720 And it's just a function of like, you know, like, brah, 80 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,840 it's, it's a, it's a time where there's just so much anxiety and 81 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,680 stuff like that. And I feel like music has been a 82 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,520 good outlet and I've been able to just kind of like also just 83 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,080 channel like all that frustration and anxiety and 84 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,840 stuff like that and just be creative. 85 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,040 And interestingly enough, this past week I've been the most 86 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,520 creative I've been in a in a minute. 87 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,880 And I hope it will pay dividends in the future. 88 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,800 But yeah, other than that, like, brah, I'm, I'm, I'm me 89 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,880 personally, I found the person is doing OK. 90 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,320 I found the person. I found the Kenyan is is just. 91 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120 You know, they're doing as well as all Kenyans are doing. 92 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240 Yeah, Yeah. Some of the best music is is on 93 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,040 on that last point you made. Some of the best music is 94 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,160 birthed through pain. Yeah, it's true. 95 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,080 So yeah, well, that's good, man. I I. 96 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,800 Sam, how are you doing? How was your week? 97 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,520 Week was the beginning, so in the beginning it of the week it 98 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,680 started. It started off slow, started off 99 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,480 chill. There's something that I've been 100 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,320 really hoping to do that I kind of kick started. 101 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,160 So that was like very, very like for some reason that just 102 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,080 unlocked a weird, it's like a part of my brain was locked 103 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880 because there's something I've been wanting to do, but I 104 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,560 haven't done it yet. And so once I started that 105 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,200 process, it kind of just unlocked that door and it's like 106 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800 fresh air just, you know, a little like when it's a stuffy, 107 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560 OK, no, no, I don't know. I don't know if you can, if 108 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,680 there are my tattoos in Texas, it's a stuffy, stuffy matatos. 109 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440 And then the conductor opens the door and then it's like cool air 110 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,640 enters. So that's what happened to me. 111 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:08,960 And then it slowly, slowly started getting started getting 112 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,120 a little bit dicey, like with the whole just, I don't know 113 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,040 that call it an uprising. This, this distressed unrest. 114 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,800 It's unrest, not distressed unrest and everything happening 115 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,400 those there were protests in town, protests online. 116 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,760 There's a lot going on. It all came together for me, I 117 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,040 guess. On when was it? 118 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840 Friday, Saturday. Saturday was it? 119 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Yeah, on. No, it was no, no, the protest 120 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,200 was Thursday. The protest was yes, the protest 121 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360 was the protest was Thursday. Friday was cool. 122 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,880 I think it was Saturday. Yeah, I think it was Saturday 123 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,160 where I think, I don't know, I, I, I probably let a lot of and 124 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,280 I'm just being, this is just being honest, transparent to me. 125 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,840 I'm a psychologist, so I don't have a problem sharing like 126 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,320 emotional stuff. A lot of things just got, I 127 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,440 think it just ended up getting to me just seeing what was 128 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,080 happening and how sort of things were playing out in terms of the 129 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,760 protests and and what was happening both on Twitter. 130 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Actually, it was more more what was happening on Twitter than 131 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,840 what was happening on the ground that really started to affect 132 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,680 me. And I don't know it, it kind of 133 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,040 triggered some some anxiety and just trying to because I think 134 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,039 naturally I feel like I am an activist, but I don't do much 135 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,000 like outward activism. It's like inward activism in my 136 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,200 head. And maybe that's a bad thing. 137 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,799 And so if you all the questions that we're asking, like it's 138 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,520 questions I ask myself over and over again, like, what on earth? 139 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,680 Why are we being treated like fools? 140 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,840 Why are politicians doing this? Why is it that money? 141 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,600 Why, why is no one asking these questions? 142 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,720 And so when you see these things happening, then you start seeing 143 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,920 the repercussions from them. And, and of course we'll talk 144 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,640 about them. But then like people going 145 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,760 missing and, and some losing their lives. 146 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,320 It just, it really just affected me up to the point where I find 147 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,760 it difficult to eat. I went to bed starving because I 148 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,360 just like farm. I don't, I don't want to eat 149 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,720 right now. Like eating doesn't seem 150 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,040 important. A lot of things don't seem 151 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,520 important at this moment. But today, I guess that's slowly 152 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,560 lifted and it's still there. It's still a weird tension, I 153 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,440 guess in me of just trying, just hoping. 154 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880 It's a hope, you know, it's a hope that things go well. 155 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,160 Yeah. But yeah, so. 156 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,440 But apart from that, I'm doing cool. 157 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,640 I realized that it's really important to be around people, 158 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,240 man. Like I've been mostly solo 159 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,520 during this time and that doesn't help. 160 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Like it's really important to be around people and and just have 161 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,200 some sort of support and go through this in community so 162 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,200 that you're not alone. And because your mind can become 163 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,880 an echo chamber, it could drive drive you crazy. 164 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,080 But that's that man, Hey. Well, you should know you're not 165 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,960 alone. We're all in this together, man. 166 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,680 And that's also, I think one of the beautiful things that have 167 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:12,760 come out of this port, this protest, sorry, this is one of 168 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,840 the beautiful things that have come out of this protest is that 169 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,680 a lot of us have banded together in a way that I never thought 170 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:28,160 possible. You know, back in 2022, man, I 171 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,000 feel like there was, there was a lot of apathy in our generation 172 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040 and the generation after the Gen. 173 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Z's. Like, I feel like a lot of us 174 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,600 weren't very engaged with the political landscape. 175 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200 And obviously that was a mistake. 176 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,840 But I think now there is no doubt in my heart that every 177 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,520 single youth in the country is going to come out to vote in 178 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,240 2027. Quite frankly, I wish change 179 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,560 could happen sooner. I feel like 2027 is too far 180 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:08,480 away. I would love if this kind of 181 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:14,200 government was out tomorrow. But like, I don't know if that's 182 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,680 possible or feasible. But you never know. 183 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,080 It would be so amazing. Anyway, I feel like one of the 184 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,040 great things that have has come out is there is a togetherness. 185 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,920 And I just wanted to say that to say that, bro, like, yes, you 186 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,560 are going through these feelings and emotions of anxiety and 187 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,680 uncertainty and hoping that the best comes out of everything. 188 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,640 But you're not facing those thoughts by yourself though, you 189 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,360 know? Yeah. 190 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,680 And and I wanted to get. Sorry, hold on. 191 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,960 I just just just to to round that up. 192 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,040 I think with with the anxiety, I'm not having anxiety and 193 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400 cowering away. It's, it's almost like a 194 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,760 positive anxiety where it's like, OK, I don't know what's 195 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,720 happening, but I'm glad that it's happening. 196 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,320 You know, like I'm happy that, that we're going through some of 197 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,720 these things because it's a road to change, some change. 198 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,640 And so it's, it's a positive, it's a hopeful anxiety rather 199 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,080 than I'm just reframing it in my mind rather than sitting around 200 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,840 cowering. And we should not, I know a lot 201 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,840 of people might be dealing with it and we'll maybe not talk 202 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,960 about it. It's important to talk about 203 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,320 these things, right? But talk about try and reframe 204 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,560 the anxiety in your mind from being, oh, I'm scared that these 205 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,760 things are going to happen to being, yeah, this stuff that's 206 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,760 happening is kind of crazy. It's, it's a wild world out 207 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,240 there. It's treacherous times. 208 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040 But there's a positive that could come out of it. 209 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,880 And so we don't attack, we don't, we don't manoeuvre that 210 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,040 anxiety with fear, but with faith. 211 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,320 I think I spoke about that towards the end of our last, our 212 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,680 last podcast as we go through anxiety with fear, I mean, with 213 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,240 faith, not fear. So yeah, man. 214 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Yeah. So I wanted to lead this 215 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,560 conversation with, you know, obviously we are a music 216 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,520 podcast. And so just to get into it, I 217 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,640 wanted to just highlight the artists that have been using 218 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,560 their platforms responsibly for, you know, this whole movement 219 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720 and uprising against our our government. 220 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,800 And one of them is charisma. Yeah. 221 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,560 Yeah. Heat. 222 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,920 That's the voice you heard in the beginning of the podcast? 223 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,480 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he used to be part 224 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,920 of the band, but now he is solo. Less solo. 225 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,360 And yeah, and, and bro, he's, he's done so much like 226 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:44,280 documenting of his experience out there fighting for our, our 227 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,960 rights with every like as every Kenyan is doing as well. 228 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,120 And I've seen a lot of outpouring of positivity towards 229 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,120 him of people saying, yo, y'all should stream his music and 230 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,520 stuff like that because this guy is, is actually like out there 231 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,560 like. Fighting and. 232 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:04,000 That's that's people, people that's positive and I don't 233 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,680 know, good. No, people want people. 234 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:10,760 People want to make you more successful and they want to like 235 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,200 pay for your music and stuff wants to see that you want once 236 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,320 you relate and it's it's it's the music business once and 237 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,800 that's why people do a lot of marketing is once you are not 238 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080 indeed, then this is not at all that conversation right, but. 239 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,200 It's not marketing. Yeah, no, he's not doing this 240 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,320 with the. Marketing, but once when you 241 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,960 make yourself more relatable to people, they want to support you 242 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,720 and this is how it is. And so him being out on the 243 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,360 streets and taking tear gas to the eyes is definitely like, all 244 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,880 right. So it humanizes, you know, 245 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,040 someone who you would have previously thought is not 246 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,040 necessarily on that level. Yeah. 247 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,960 It does and it's and it's important. 248 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880 It's important because people look up to charisma. 249 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,320 You know, I've, I've seen even nameless and well who are there 250 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,720 as well. I've seen so many, I've seen so 251 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,960 many artists like out there like protesting. 252 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,720 And it's important. It's important because there's 253 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,280 so many people who you influence and those people look up to you 254 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,680 and it's good. It's good to see that the people 255 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,960 who we give these platforms, yeah, using the, you know, using 256 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,560 the Stitch and the, the, the platforms that they have to kind 257 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,680 of push. More than just via music, yeah. 258 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Are which are definitely necessary and are contributing 259 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:44,040 to just like the wider country, the the wider Canyon, just 260 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920 everyone, everyone needs to be part of this conversation. 261 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,600 So the greatest story yeah the greatest story. 262 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,560 So it's tough to see people like Charisma out there. 263 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400 And then also using your platform via music. 264 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:04,680 I've seen so many people release songs that are addressing the 265 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,240 Finance Bill. I mean, in the intro to this 266 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,200 podcast, we played Reject Your Bill by Sabi Wu. 267 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,800 I mean occupied the streets by Trio Mio Sam, do you know my mum 268 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,880 sent randomly on WhatsApp, She sends me this and she's like, I 269 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,360 thought you'd like this because these are the type of beats you 270 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,760 make.

You know, nothing is going to 306 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,200 touch you, but you're actually there on the ground, which is 307 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,840 very cool. It level levels all of us. 308 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,280 And you're just as important as the person who consumes your 309 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,360 music. You're just as important as the 310 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,680 person fighting for their rights. 311 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,840 It's all our rights we're fighting for, you know, it's all 312 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,880 of us.

Yeah, One thing that's weighing 322 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320 really heavy on my heart right now is the loss. 323 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,040 You know, the first one, Rex Maasai, man, it hit me, man, 324 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,600 because he's he's my age.

I literally could have been 327 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,880 anyone on that street. It could have been anyone on any 328 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,880 St. At all. 329 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,240 Which raises the question, why are they even shooting live 330 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,640 rounds out of in a peace peaceful protest? 331 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,480 It's it's so scary.

If you're, if you're able to 344 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,920 donate blood, if you're able to, to get to some of those 345 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,320 stations, like it's, it's really important to do that. 346 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,320 I think a lot of people do need it. 347 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,000 And yeah, if you're able to do it, like we just again, 348 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,360 encourage you to, to go out there and do that. 349 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,640 But yeah, I mean, you're, we're out here and just holding up a 350 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,720 placard, trying to hold your government accountable, probably 351 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,120 with your friends in your mind, you know, you're making change 352 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,720 and the next minute you're not around. 353 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,480 That has to be one of the scariest thing. 354 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,000 I mean, you don't leave. You're leaving the house not 355 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,440 thinking that you're not coming back. 356 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:09,160 It's a peaceful protest. Why, why, why are we? 357 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,480 Why is why is it a thing? Why, why, why are people dying 358 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,960 in in a nonviolent protest? What's that about? 359 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,160 I'm going to see now. I should have started a short 360 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,160 circuit again. My brain is I said to get heated 361 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,120 again. No, quite frankly, it shouldn't 362 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,880 be the case. And I and and I can't believe 363 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,960 that well, as of us recording this podcast that that policeman 364 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,240 who shot him hasn't been like nothing has happened and there 365 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,640 are no repercussions. Hopefully by the time this 366 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,960 podcast comes out, that will be a different story. 367 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,480 But you're here. How is he just out there roaming 368 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,200 the streets? That's a criminal who has shot 369 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,280 an innocent. Completely innocent of the 370 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,000 country, unarmed. He had a bottle of water his and 371 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,200 his ID on him. What? 372 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,520 Yeah, that's that's actually disgusting. 373 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,200 It's. Really sad because now what do 374 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,840 you tell his? What do you tell his his folks? 375 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560 What do you tell his mom? I was looking at pictures of her 376 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,480 I. Was so sad I saw pictures of 377 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,160 broke my heart. That's exactly where I was. 378 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,120 Broke my heart. I saw pictures of that and all I 379 00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:19,200 could see was my mum in that instant. 380 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,560 And I'm like, imagine how my mum would be like just seeing me 381 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,640 like on the like in the Mortuary, like in the clothes. 382 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,440 She so believed the house in. Man, it's, it's, it's painful. 383 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480 Yeah, and, and, and I guess we should, I guess we shouldn't 384 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,040 dwell on the on the negativity of it because what it shows is 385 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,560 bravery. They were out there and there, 386 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,920 you know, and there's so many people. 387 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,600 So, so even even some of the artists, man, it's really brave 388 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,480 to know that you're and I was just thinking about this 389 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,920 recently is artists tend to be like the government could look 390 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,640 at them and say, OK, like you're the, you know how there's, 391 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,200 there's almost like a hunt for who is the one leading the 392 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400 protests and who's sponsoring the protests. 393 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,600 And it's very easy. Yeah, it's very easy to. 394 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,120 It's very easy to point towards, oh, look at the artists because 395 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,440 they have influence already and to point to them. 396 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,480 And then you're targeted just because, because you brought, 397 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,120 you have that. It's like a pre influence 398 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:19,840 already. So it's very brave of them to be 399 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,800 out there fighting for change. Not just artists, but people who 400 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,680 are part of the culture, people who are recognisable, not just 401 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,640 musicians. There's dancers, there's people 402 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,440 in museum, instrumentalists, there's videographers. 403 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,320 There's so many people out there who are who who want their voice 404 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,720 to be heard. So shout out to them. 405 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,920 Yeah, it's dangerous. And I love how I love how I love 406 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:51,440 how there's no like there's no one face to this whole. 407 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,000 No, no, no, like it's. Very decentralized. 408 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,080 They don't know who to come for. Like they, they just, you know, 409 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,720 like it's there's no leader, like we're all doing this. 410 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,200 And it's so hilarious to me that they think that people are being 411 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,560 paid or this is being funded by anyone. 412 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,400 No, listen, we hate this government for free. 413 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,280 You had, and I think you had mentioned it, you had said it 414 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,560 earlier, you said it earlier, how, how people, I mean, the, 415 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520 the, the, the, the generation, we've been quiet and we don't 416 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,840 have political affiliations. And so we've been quiet about 417 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,200 things. But it's that quietness and that 418 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,240 just frustration that has been building and building and 419 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,760 building and building that has led to this. 420 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,400 It's like, all right, cool. Like you guys are clearly just, 421 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,080 you guys are clearly, because this is not the first year 422 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,920 there's been a Finance Bill, by the way, there's finance bills 423 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,720 every year. But this time, yeah, this time 424 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,440 we're just looking at it like, OK fam, you guys literally don't 425 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,880 care, so. It was the last stroke. 426 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:55,240 If you guys want to help Rex's family man, I know people were 427 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,840 circulating his mum's number which you can send anything that 428 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,080 you can it it would go a long way. 429 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,640 For sure. That number is 0722238122. 430 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,360 Send whatever you can. You know, we just need to do the 431 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:24,080 little that we can to kind of like help because that could 432 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,520 have been anyone. I haven't seen too much 433 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,200 information of how we can directly help Ivan Skiratu and 434 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800 his family. I'm sure that will come up. 435 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,320 So just keep your keep your eyes open for that. 436 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,240 Keep your eyes open for for that online, especially on XA lot of 437 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,480 this has been done on on Twitter slash X and yeah, and shout out 438 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,800 again, just a big shout out to the brave people who are sort of 439 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920 not necessarily leading on that front, but just being an 440 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,880 amplifier and organizing one thing that that that. 441 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaking of. Yeah. 442 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,760 Go ahead, Sir. No, just about the one thing 443 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,920 that was really, really, really good to see was this. 444 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,440 The the Spaces that was the Twitter Spaces that was held was 445 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,920 yesterday, not sorry, not just on Saturday. 446 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,840 On Saturday, I'm giving myself was the spaces that was held on 447 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,480 Saturday and just seen droves and droves of people I don't 448 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,720 know, I mean.

Unknown. 450 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,880 And so a lot of it was driven by that as well. 451 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,120 Yeah, driven by that. And then and then just it, it's 452 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,840 just turned into people coming out and airing their 453 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,240 frustrations and. There was No Fear. 454 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,040 Oh, man, at some point, I, I, I mean, I, I wasn't going to leave 455 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,720 this like I was, I was actually on the spaces from, I think I 456 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,240 might have joined mid morning, I want to say maybe 11:00 or 12:00 457 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:02,360 PM And I stayed on it until 12:00 AM when, when it, when it 458 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,040 was closing down, of course, on and off because there's a bunch 459 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280 of stuff I was doing. But then I was paying attention 460 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,600 and then not, and then paying attention not. 461 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,960 But people were on there just telling the truth and I was. 462 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,920 That was really good to see. Yeah, politicians, some, some 463 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,320 some MPs were jumping in there and they were being flamed, bro. 464 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,760 Like. Because they're in there for all 465 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,280 of all of what, 12 seconds? They will not believe, they will 466 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,200 not believe and they really hate all these people. 467 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,800 Yeah, yeah. We're, we're, we're it's, it's 468 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,480 unified. We, we don't have a specific 469 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 target target. It's like not, it's where our 470 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000 target is corruption. That's that's who we're going 471 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,520 against. So the shoe fits. 472 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,320 And it's. Put it on, you know. 473 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,920 It's, it's, it's so.

Intelligence. 515 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaking of rude politicians, I guess I'm speaking you can talk 516 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,760 about. I'm scared. 517 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:04,840 I don't know where this is going. 518 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520 I don't know where this is going. 519 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,880 Why Speaking of no when you start with Speaking of rude 520 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520 politicians, I'm like, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 521 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,720 Yeah, but these are rude. So. 522 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,560 So one thing, one thing that's been weighing heavily on my mind 523 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,720 is politics. And Kimani Ishungua, who is 524 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:33,960 currently the leader of the majority in parliament, was kind 525 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:42,080 of clipped talking about the fact that the people going out 526 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,360 for the protest, Gen. Z12, will after the protest, go 527 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,040 and have KFC. Three, they will have filmed the 528 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,720 protest on their iPhones. And four, they would have 529 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,120 arrived at the protest and consequently left using Ubers. 530 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,920 Ubers. So where's the problem? 531 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,240 I find this very interesting. I find this very interesting 532 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,280 actually, because it just kind of goes to show what politics is 533 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,240 all about. And listen, I'm not a person who 534 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,080 is, who has prior to like this, been very interested about the 535 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,360 like psychology of politics, but it's very interesting. 536 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,840 I feel like politics is all about divisiveness and dividing 537 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640 people. Definite one of the major. 538 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,880 Factors there was a it is and I feel like there was some 539 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,520 conversation around this on Twitter and one thing that's 540 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,680 really beautiful about this current generation that's 541 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:42,120 protesting is tribe tribalism isn't really a thing for us. 542 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,320 Like we've grown up like mixed with each other. 543 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,880 Nobody's really tribalistic at this time in like in 2024, you, 544 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,320 you, you're thinking about tribes like, what are you? 545 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,320 Doing, you know what I mean? Yeah. 546 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,920 And, and sorry on that point. I also feel like, and one of the 547 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,760 reasons for that is I feel like we're growing up. 548 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,280 You know, there's this whole thing of of you young kids do 549 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,920 not speak your mother tongues, you young kids. 550 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,640 I think it's that whole thing of culture. 551 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,240 Culture means something to us, but doesn't mean the same thing 552 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,920 that it has meant that it means. It doesn't mean this. 553 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,360 It doesn't mean the same thing it does to us that it means to 554 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,560 you, and it doesn't mean what it means in the same way. 555 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,600 Culture. Culture is important because 556 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,920 people are important. They're still keeping their 557 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,360 names. People will try. 558 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,160 And yeah. I was about to say that like it 559 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,680 is important for people to know their mother. 560 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,160 But it's not, we are not using it as a tool to yes, you know, 561 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,440 Yeah, I know. Continue. 562 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,800 So so basically the point I was trying to make is tribalism 563 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,720 isn't really a thing anymore. And then there is things like 564 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,320 religion as well. Like you can't really divide us 565 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:54,320 by religion anymore. Like bro, Christians, Muslims. 566 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,320 We went to the same, yeah. You know, we're going through 567 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,440 the same things, but like, what? What, what it is is like now. 568 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,120 Wow. OK. 569 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,560 You realize that this generation, how do we divide 570 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,480 them? How do we make them feel like 571 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080 this other group? I need to like separate. 572 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,440 The tools we used to divide ourselves are not working. 573 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,840 What what? What do we go to now? 574 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,680 What's next? Exactly. 575 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,960 And that's how you win in politics, man. 576 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,200 You have to find a way to divide. 577 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,360 And for them now they're trying to like build this whole 578 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,760 classism thing and make it a thing and try and divide us that 579 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,720 way. They're also even trying to use 580 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,320 and weaponize the whole Gen. Z narrative to kind of make it 581 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,520 seem like millennials aren't doing anything and have that as 582 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,720 a divisive thing as well. Yeah, Like it's so interesting 583 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,440 how they're really, really trying to find angles in which 584 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,720 they can. Which they can, which is. 585 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,720 It's interesting. It's. 586 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,920 And it's it's interesting actually to just observe and see 587 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,960 how evil people can. Be it's like, and you can tell 588 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,440 guys as as much as they're trying to be braggadocious about 589 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,040 it and, and, and speaking in matter of fact tones, they can 590 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,159 tell guys are scrambling. You can tell people they're 591 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,960 making phone calls on the back end and like your farm, what do 592 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,440 we use? Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, 593 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:15,239 iPhones. Yeah. 594 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,400 Talk about those iPhones. Talk about those iPhones just 595 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,199 like fun bro iPhone, whether you have a Mulika Mizzy, we're all 596 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,280 on the streets yelling we're tired of you guys. 597 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,360 So it doesn't matter what you tell us where it's you we're 598 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,080 tired of, we are not tired of, of systems or freaking classes 599 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,600 or whatever it is. It's your. 600 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,280 Divide and rule, policy or divide and conquer in politics 601 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,280 and sociology is gaining and maintaining power divisively. 602 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,320 This includes the exploitation of existing divisions within a 603 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,719 political group by its political opponents, and also the 604 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,400 deliberate creation or strengthening of such divisions. 605 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,520 That's how they win. That's always how they win in 606 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,560 America. They'll focus on things like 607 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,960 abortion and religion, race, They'll focus on things like 608 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,880 that. And then you see, The thing is 609 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,520 amidst everybody arguing whether or not it's right for abortion 610 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,480 to be a thing in the 1st place, right amidst everybody, just 611 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,920 like arguing. This is why I think I'm pro-life 612 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:27,920 or This is why I think, and This is why I'm, I'm pro-choice. 613 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:35,120 Like you forget that they're busy creating policy, creating 614 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,520 things that are so detrimental to the society. 615 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,240 You're arguing about the fringe topics. 616 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,080 Yeah, And they've used these as just like the main focal points 617 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,960 in which they can just like create their divisiveness and 618 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,360 then kind of attack. And then now they'll have like 619 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,560 some some really despicable things that they do there. 620 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,160 But like nobody's focusing on these things because like, let's 621 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,880 just let them argue about this. So. 622 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,320 So that's what they kind of do. And that's what this guy Kimani 623 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,280 is trying to do right now by making us try and argue amongst 624 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,240 ourselves about like, oh, wait, like, is it just the rich kids 625 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,120 like out there? Like, no, we're not, We're we're 626 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,320 not doing that. We're keeping. 627 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,080 And that's the beautiful thing about about this protest. 628 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:26,120 Like people are focused, man, completely focused on the end 629 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,560 goal. And even I've realized the whole 630 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,880 tactic with this abductions, this random abductions. 631 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,200 And, and I'm really glad to hear that Billy has been freed as 632 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,480 well as Jabrudo as well. Like what they're trying to do 633 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,400 as well, or Jabrado, Sorry, what they're trying to do, man, is 634 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:50,440 they're also trying to like reduce the bro, these guys have 635 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,840 really been trying to divide us, man. 636 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,280 Like they're trying to reduce the effectiveness of the reject 637 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:01,720 Finance Bill 2024 hashtag by by creating so many other divisive 638 00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,920 issues within. So like, you see now The thing 639 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:10,320 is once these abductions happen, like everybody's attention moves 640 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,280 to that and then the hashtag moves to like a different 641 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,200 hashtag. Or even there was a point where 642 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,200 there was this weird thing of gain trains on Twitter. 643 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,040 Like people were like, Oh yeah, let's gain followers and stuff 644 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,800 like that so that people can see. 645 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,800 Like and destroy me from so much. 646 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,600 Bro, I'm telling you they're doing everything in their power 647 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,480 to.

Also bro these guys are. 651 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,880 Crazy. And then even in the in the in 652 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,520 the protests themselves, they'll implant moles there who would do 653 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:53,840 everything that they can to incite violence so that they 654 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,040 have like a reason. To be violent. 655 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:56,920 Violent. Yeah. 656 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,760 Like it's actually so evil. Like the things that they do, 657 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,120 man, just to like. But those are not tactics. 658 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,040 Those are those. Those don't look like tactics of 659 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,040 of of the winning side, does it? It doesn't. 660 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,320 It's it's. But no. 661 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480 But people have won using those tactics. 662 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,480 They have, they have. Yeah, yeah. 663 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,120 So that's why they're using it. And and the reason they've been 664 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,240 switching tactics over there, They're doing everything and 665 00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:21,600 anything because they've tried one thing. 666 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,280 Wait, not they didn't buy it.

Please not lose any other people 742 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,240 to these protests. And this is actually more 743 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:34,120 towards the police like because everyone is being peaceful. 744 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,160 So if the police are also peaceful back, we're not going 745 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,600 to suffer. Unless unless the incentives 746 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,680 from elsewhere to not be peaceful, they should go very 747 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,200 smoothly. That whole thing. 748 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:53,280 But yeah, anyway, Wednesday 26th June, justice for Rex. 749 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:58,840 They're going to visit IPOA and IPOA and the IG of police 750 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,360 demanding justice for Rex.

We've seen so many pictures of 752 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,840 him, but his name needs to be in circulation and he needs to be 753 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,080 brought to justice. And on Thursday, there's also 754 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,240 going to be a super, super huge day because people are going to 755 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:23,520 be camping outside State House, so block main roads leading to 756 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:30,520 Nairobi and #occupy State House to witness Ruto sign our lives 757 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,320 into slavery.
