I mean, there's people in front of me, destroying Waymo, this niggas behind me, destroying Waymo's. There's thousands of people out here.

Disgusting with the Trump administration

and how the federal government is handling migration.

People out here with hammers, baseball bats,

whatever they can find, it's dark.

When a digger, little down a matter now, I'm going to go. It's dark.

All right.

I am sure we were all busy at the no kings protest this weekend,

but I am joined with two kings today,

the king of Brooklyn, Sean K.B.

And a king of Los Angeles.

Victor Artolo, author of Los Angeles or The End of Simulation from illwill.com, an excellent essay about the last week of struggle in Los Angeles with very good analysis of the material questions behind it.

So very happy to talk to you about this excellent essay.

How are you doing today, Victor?

How was your weekend, Ben?

I'm doing great.

You know, I'm in the kind of week-long point of the ongoing struggle. You get kind of a manic high. You know, so it's good to talk to someone from out of LA to get me a frame of reference for this is all being perceived and kind of what the sense is outside of the city.

That's where I went bowling today, man.

I don't know if you've been bowling recently, but, you know, it's still the same.

It's good.

Yeah, no, I've been spending the last five days going to Home Depot at 6 a.m.

Not bowling in my future.
