A Neo daily show on life after Hollywood, Washington, and New York (aka the U.S. of Israel, the world’s leading criminal racket).

[Transcript edited and enhanced by Gemini.]

(00:00:00):

Above, do you hear it?

(00:00:10):

I am Aerosmith.

(00:00:18):

I'm everybody.

(00:00:27):

I was speaking with a very wise college student today,

(00:00:35):

yet another Alexander the Great I happen to know,

(00:00:45):

about Spartacus yet again.

(00:00:52):

And I thought,

(00:00:56):

Ooh.

(00:01:03):

Ooh.

(00:01:13):

Auto.

(00:01:18):

Therapy like an automobile.

(00:01:20):

Another plane.

(00:01:21):

Do you hear that?

(00:01:26):

And then at some point, we'll hear the train.

(00:01:32):

Hi, everybody, and how's it going?

(00:01:36):

That was a huge,

(00:01:38):

long,

(00:01:41):

ow,

(00:01:41):

intro into tonight's episode of the Armenian Quarter or No Other Land.

(00:01:54):

I'm Sean M. B. I'm going to look right there, straight on.

(00:01:58):

Take me out.

(00:02:03):

Part de dos.

(00:02:08):

Mm-hmm.

(00:02:12):

I want to speak slowly so the AI will render my words correctly.

(00:02:24):

Ain't that a bitch that Trump froze $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard.

(00:02:35):

Point one.

(00:02:36):

Punto uno.

(00:02:41):

Why does Harvard need any government funding as a private institution?

(00:02:51):

Done and done.

(00:02:54):

Oh, it feels so good to be stretching it out, Konstantin.

(00:03:01):

Konstantin Stanislawski and John Konstantin.

(00:03:18):

The Armenian quarter is where I live.

(00:03:22):

No other land is Palestine.

(00:03:26):

There is an Armenian quarter.

(00:03:29):

In Jerusalem.

(00:03:34):

Jerusalem.

(00:03:38):

I myself would like to visit it sometime,

(00:03:41):

but I don't picture that ever happening,

(00:03:45):

unfortunately.

(00:03:59):

During Passover week...

(00:04:05):

It's such a shame, right?

(00:04:07):

A holiday that commemorates the emancipation of Jewish people, right?

(00:04:18):

Goes completely disregarded.

(00:04:29):

Well,

(00:04:29):

the so-called Jewish state,

(00:04:31):

Jewish only in so-called ethnicity,

(00:04:34):

which doesn't even make sense because Judaism is a religion.

(00:04:38):

Oh, gosh.

(00:04:40):

Anyway, $2.2 billion.

(00:04:42):

You know what?

(00:04:47):

Harvard already did all the damage.

(00:04:51):

As I asked the other day, there's not a joke here.

(00:04:54):

I'll get to that one in a second.

(00:04:56):

Yes, now I need to watch my tone.

(00:04:59):

There is a joke here.

(00:05:01):

It's on me.

(00:05:07):

Rebirth and a salesman that I ever...

(00:05:21):

thought I could ever be more than a Trojan horse.

(00:05:29):

Well,

(00:05:29):

it turns out my friends out there,

(00:05:35):

not only does the body keep the score,

(00:05:39):

I picture the sep.

(00:05:55):

But I have to remind myself every day of the Eye of the Tiger,

(00:06:01):

a song I listen to with my student read often.

(00:06:08):

You have to have the will to survive as another plane flies overhead.

(00:06:16):

That actually could be the soundtrack.

(00:06:26):

And for me, liberation, not freedom.

(00:06:39):

Here's where I differ from in the grand reality of things.

(00:06:45):

My historical peer, Thomas Jefferson.

(00:06:48):

Right?

(00:06:56):

If you think owning other people, the bile is acceptable, then you would think.

(00:07:33):

indirect democracy was free,

(00:07:42):

but I believe that we should have a say in how our governments are run,

(00:07:56):

particularly here.

(00:08:00):

In the Union States of America, as I've always said, rebirth and the salesman.

(00:08:14):

You have to sell people their land.

(00:08:20):

You don't just take it.

(00:08:28):

Me too.

(00:08:29):

Punto dos means hands off other people's land just as much as it means hands off

(00:08:41):

other people's bodies.

(00:08:43):

Thank you, Gustavo Petro.

(00:08:55):

And Colombia.

(00:08:57):

Not only is my birthday the same as Ronaldo's, it's also the same as Errol Morrison's.

(00:09:15):

How about that?

(00:09:16):

All that jazz.

(00:09:20):

I'll do it my way.

(00:09:26):

It's true, my friends.

(00:09:28):

I'm extending the story, the narrative.

(00:09:34):

I am a performance artist in captivity.

(00:09:39):

I am enchanted love with my ex, Arthur.

(00:09:51):

It doesn't make a difference whether he's in the picture or not.

(00:10:11):

Every day is Groundhog Day.

(00:10:16):

times lost in translation to me.

(00:10:20):

Back and song.

(00:10:26):

That fall,

(00:10:29):

six months or so after I last did crystal meth,

(00:10:37):

Arthur and I went to Philly for Columbus Day weekend.

(00:10:51):

The details remain hazy to me,

(00:10:54):

but we did go see an installation at the Girard College Chapel called Back and Song

(00:11:04):

about the African-American tradition of healing through corporeal

(00:11:21):

means it was co-presented by thomas jefferson university and the philadelphia

(00:11:29):

contemporary and i thought for the umpteenth time this is my declaration of

(00:11:38):

independence right i mean could you imagine a conversation between julius caesar

(00:11:54):

and Spartacus today, right?

(00:11:57):

They would have to say,

(00:11:58):

this is ridiculous that you all are still fighting the same battles we did.

(00:12:09):

Just let other people be.

(00:12:15):

I'm the Jesus of suburbia, and this is my American idiot Stan story.

(00:12:24):

I repeat, that's my chorus.

(00:12:28):

The chorus repeats me.

(00:12:32):

and extends itself every day.

(00:12:37):

I extend myself the same grace I do to my students.

(00:12:43):

Eureka!

(00:12:47):

I am the Buddha of suburbia and the Jesus of suburbia.

(00:12:55):

This is my Easter rising story.

(00:13:12):

I am stretching it out.

(00:13:27):

Some people ride.

(00:13:56):

Oh, I like to genuflect to myself.

(00:14:10):

Love your neighbor like you love thyself, my friends.

(00:14:17):

Your friends and neighbors.

(00:14:32):

Fifteen minutes.

(00:14:46):

Just stretching.

(00:14:51):

Body, mind.

(00:14:53):

Free your body, mind, and the rest will follow, my friends.

(00:14:58):

Ciao for now, I'm Sean M.P.
