The Welcome to weekends with Anna Kessarian and Michael Brooks. Anna is out this Saturday.

She will be back next Saturday,

but we're gonna keep going for this week.

We have a great guest with us, Torrey Reed, author of Towards Freedom,

The Case Against Race Reduction. We're going to be talking about a great new piece. He just published in the Jackerman online of course Kale Brooks

Why I'm still thinking about Amy Cooper the Blackbirder episode in Central Park. We'll be talking about that. And of course a whole lot more,

Kale Brooks ably producing as always at the end of the show, we'll take some of your

questions, some of your super chat questions, and we've got

assault to get to and a whole bunch more.

So obviously we're one person down this week. We're missing Anna very much

part of this 50-50 duos, but I will do my best to take us through here solo. I should say that if you're new to channel, hit

subscribe, definitely watch at this point, really a lot of incredible work, including all the previous episodes of weekends clips from the show but also the stay-at-home series.

Recently I've watched the ones on the future of Corbinism and a fantastic introduction to the indispensable historical giant A Philip Randolph that I hope all of us will start learning from and acting from today. And of course,

Jackman magazine, subscribe to it, get the whole thing and stay well beyond informed. I wonder what's better than well beyond informed.

I wonder what's better than the word informed.

Informed is very overrated.

Gives you the analysis and the context

to actually understand the forces that are shaping our society.

So Torrey is going to come on in about 15 minutes.

Let's just start, we got a couple of clips here

of ongoing extreme police violence, police rioting across the country as ongoing

uprisings and protests take place across the United States.
