0:00.0	Hey, this is Durey. I'm gonna pause it in the people in this episode. It's me, Kaya,
0:07.0	Miles, and DR talking about the news that you don't know. And then I sit down with Malcolm Bell
0:11.3	to discuss his book, The Attica Turkey Shoot, Carnage, Cover Up, and the Presuit of Justice.
0:15.8	I'm gonna test with Attica if you have not seen the documentary on Showtime. Please see it now.
0:19.9	It is that good. I wouldn't tell you to watch it, I didn't love it. I saw it to prepare for the
0:25.2	director's being on the podcast and in like, emphastinated, I think it should be required viewing for
0:29.6	everybody. My voice for this week is to get some sleep. I really have been working on my sleep schedule
0:35.4	because I realize that I've been running on fumes and I've been taking Saturday and Sunday to catch

1:13.2	the Instagram and Twitter at DR Balancer. I'm Miles Johnson. You can find me at Rapture on Instagram
1:20.0	and Twitter. I'm Kaye Henderson. You can find me on Twitter at Henderson, Kaye. This is Drey at
1:25.7	D.I.Y. on Twitter. So, you know, we can't go on without talking about the verdict that came out
1:34.4	this week. Although, Kyle Bittenhouse obtained a frightful illegally cross-state order,
1:42.4	killed two individuals. Drey found him not guilty. Now, I wasn't so surprised by this verdict. I
1:50.3	just was following the trial. I was paying attention to the judge who was completely biased.
1:58.5	And so, I guess I wasn't surprised. I don't know how to process what's happening. It's obviously
2:07.3	another blow, another more evidence of white supremacy in this country and the
