| 0:00.0 | in your book, you talk about meritocracy and how meritocracy is this idea that if you're rich, |
| 0:06.2 | it's because you're good and if you're poor, it's because you're bad. And in the criminal justice |
| 0:10.8 | system, we call this neoliberalism where it's like, oh, if you are a criminal, it's because you're bad. |
| 0:17.1 | And if you're not a criminal, it's because you're good and not recognizing the complexity that |
| 0:23.6 | goes into it, who gets targeted as a criminal, who is not targeted as a criminal. I've been deeply |
| 0:29.2 | moved in your work by the recognition that there needs to be a re-evaluation of human value that's |
| 0:38.0 | not based on how much money you have, whether that be in the economy or whether that be in the |
| 0:43.8 | criminal justice system. It is weird how we've otherwise and not express any empathy for people |
| 0:52.8 | who are being pushed down to the economy and are struggling. It's one of the silver lines of this |

| 1:25.7 | then we'll actually have a chance. |
| 1:49.6 | Alright, and welcome back to the next episode of Yang's Beak. I'm your co-host Zach Brownman |
| 1:57.3 | excited to be here and it's been a big week for the Yang gang for many of you who have been |
| 2:04.0 | paying attention. Excited to be with you all. I am wearing my Buffalo Bill's gear. I'm wearing a |
| 2:10.7 | shirt that says, School of Hard Knox for our tight-end Dawson Knox. Now, I realize this is not a |
| 2:17.5 | Buffalo Bill's podcast, but I hope sometimes it's a Buffalo Bill's fan discovery podcast |
| 2:24.8 | that if you don't have a sports team, just for your own sanity when you listen to this, |
| 2:29.8 | you become a Bill's fan root for a happier episode, if you will. So I'm recording this |
| 2:35.2 | to air on Monday, which means when you are listening to this, folks, I will either be elated and |
