00:22:10
SkyAnd in that I just I asked him if like well I told him that I had feelings for him. And then I told him if we could distance. Sure. >> Um because, you know, I didn't want it
00:22:22
Skyto go anywhere because he I didn't know if he was ready or not. >> Um 2 days after that we agreed that we were No, no. In me telling him I had feelings for him, we agreed to distance and then two days after that he told me

00:24:05
Michelle>> And I'm going to be honest, I I never wanted kids. Um, but I couldn't get myself to get an abortion, so I uh decided to keep him. Although I knew
00:24:16
Brian Atlasthat I was going to be a single parent, I still chose to keep my kid. >> Gotcha. >> It's really sweet. >> Um, was he uh involved in at all? Did you guys have split custody?
00:24:28
Brian Atlas>> I got full custody. >> Was he paying you child support? >> He had We had a court order, but he paid none of it. >> Oh, he paid none of it. Um, did he ever did you ever pursue that in court or anything like that?
00:24:40
Michelle>> Um, >> no. I he came around when my son was eight just for a little bit. Um, just to see how he's doing. Um, and then I learned that he was already married and taking care of I believe a stepchild and
00:24:53
MichelleI just felt bad. So, I dropped the court order just I didn't want to see, >> you know, make his life miserable. >> Okay, got it. Um, and then, uh, let's see. Hold on.
00:25:06
VictoriaYou you have a kid, too. Does anybody else have a kid >> or Okay. Uh what about you? >> Um the longest currently right now I'm single. The longest relationship I've
00:25:16
Victoriabeen in was for 8 to 9 months. Uh that ended March of this year. And um but yeah. >> Wait, Victoria, last time you were on
00:25:26
Brian Atlasthe show, which was I think about maybe a month ago or so, you you had a a ting. >> Yeah. And now no longer a Ting >> cuz you said you were seeing a guy, now
00:25:36
Victoriayou say you're single. What happened? >> Um, we did date for a little bit. He was a very uh responsible man, very respectful. Um, but unfortunately we
00:25:46
Victoriaboth wanted very very different things in life. And uh, for the sake of him and for the sake of myself also, we both decided that it would be best to separate early on so that we wouldn't
00:25:57
Brian Atlasgrow too close and it would just become harder and harder as time went. So you guys were like what just like a month or two together? Okay. Any guys in the picture currently? >> No. >> Nothing. Not even Are you on dating
00:26:10
Brian Atlasapps? >> No. >> Okay. Um Okay. No guys in the picture. Um who broke up with who, I guess, or
00:26:18
Victoriawho ended things with who? >> Mhm. Um I tried to propose it first and um but we both didn't want it at that time. Then in another week, um I try to
00:26:30
Victorialet it run a little bit, but then I kept realizing now there's more and more signs to me that show that this is not going to work out. So um we ended it again and that was final. So it was a
00:26:42
Victoriamutual agreement. >> Was it long distance a little bit or were you guys in the same city or >> So we're we're both in California. Um he's on military base so I don't know if
00:26:52
Brian AtlasI can disclose that. So it is a little bit of long distance but yeah. >> Okay. All right, cool. Uh, that's everybody's relationship status. I want to get into
00:27:02
Brian Atlassomething, uh, kind of interesting here at the very start. Um, so, uh, we had
00:27:10
Brian Atlasthis kind of viral moment last episode. Elon Musk, uh, he, uh, reacted to it, but, uh, I guess so, I I'll just get
00:27:20
Brian Atlasright into it. Um, I'm I'm curious. So, we we talked about ethnicities a little bit. Um,
00:27:29
Brian Atlaswho here is anybody here? Uh, like a immigrant to the country like were you were born somewhere else and
00:27:38
Aya Jarushithen you moved here? >> No. Okay. Anybody here your parents were immigrants? >> Yeah. My dad was an immigrant from
00:27:49
Aya JarushiJordan and Palestine and he married my mom who's a Native American Indian and a Catholic.
00:27:57
Brian Atlas>> So my dad is a Muslim and my mom was a Catholic but she converted. >> And um you said you'd spent some time in the Middle East. Do you have citizenship
00:28:09
Aya Jarushiin any other countries or just the USA? >> I have citizenship in Jordan as well just so I can visit. But this is my home. New Orleans is my home. And I love
00:28:20
Brian Atlasbeing there. Like I wouldn't leave there for any other place. >> Okay. Um, and you uh you said your dad, he's he's Muslim. Are you also Muslim or?
00:28:31
Aya Jarushi>> Yeah, I practice a religion. My mom had eight kids. She met my dad in Japan when they were doing karate because they do both fight and do karate. So, she met my
00:28:43
Aya Jarushidad in Japan and she ended up getting him a citizenship to the United States and having eight children with him and I'm one of the middle. So, I'm
00:28:54
Aya Jarushicompletely mixed and I live in a fully multicultural family. >> I see. Um, but you are >> practicing Muslim like >> Sorry, you are or you're not? don't
00:29:06
Aya Jarushifully practice like cover my hair and cover my body and stuff, but every day I think of God. I remember him. I make sure to say his name and I think I'm a practicing Muslim. At least that's how I
00:29:19
Brian Atlasidentify. >> I guess I'll get into some of that later because I have some interest there. But >> yeah, >> um >> you said you have citizenship in uh
00:29:29
Brian AtlasJordan. Well, I guess before we get into this kind of first main topic, you um there's seems like there's quite
00:29:39
Brian Atlasa lot of lore backstory with your family. If to my recollection serves me correctly, there were murders in your family. Is that correct?
00:29:50
Aya Jarushi>> Yeah, there were a lot of passings in my family when it came to my mom, my sister, and my brother. And that's where
00:29:58
Aya JarushiI want to come in and say that Islam isn't the same as an Arabic culture.
00:30:05
Aya JarushiLike my dad was following an insane culty culture and doing like the most traumatic things to my siblings and my
00:30:16
Aya Jarushimom and >> he was like abusing them. But I think culture isn't the same as religion. Like Islam means peace, but the culture I'm
00:30:27
Aya Jarushireferencing is like a Jordanian culture where he grew up in the slums in the middle of nowhere. If he was actually following Islam, Islam is a meaning of
00:30:38
Aya Jarushipeace. I mean, it's a very >> I'm not making a criticism of Islam. I'm just asking. >> Yeah. I'm just saying >> this is like separate. Just there was some issues in the family.
00:30:48
Aya Jarushi>> Yeah. He just was really really strict of a dad. like overly strict. >> So he did what? >> He abused most of the kids. >> Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:31:00
Aya Jarushi>> I'm more interested. You in your notes, you had specified that he had committed acts of murder. >> Yeah. And he got away with it. He >> Who did he murder?
00:31:10
Aya Jarushi>> He basically tortured me and my sister our whole lives growing up. So me and my sister who's 22 years old, she's like 2
00:31:21
Aya Jarushiyears below me, but at the age she was 22 when she passed, she died of broken heart syndrome, which is a thing. It's a serious thing like when you go through
00:31:32
Aya Jarushisevere situations that your heart can't tolerate. I mean, a lot of doctors have proven like broken heart syndrome and stuff. So
00:31:42
Aya Jarushifive years later at the age of 18 to 22 she died from heart failure and I would
00:31:51
Aya Jarushisay it was because of the cause of all the abuse and everything we were put through like forced to wear our burka
00:31:59
Brian Atlasand all this type of weird [ __ ] So, >> and then uh was it also your your mother? Is was he murdered her or was it
00:32:11
Aya Jarushiyour brother? >> It was my mother and my brother. He >> and your sister. >> Yeah. He fit me. >> Yeah. And got away with it in New Orleans, Louisiana. >> Okay. So, wait, hold on. With your mom,
00:32:23
Aya Jarushiwhat did he do? >> So, they're both very professional karate champions in Japan. He used basically all of his techniques on my
00:32:35
Aya Jarushimother. Him and my mom were the top karate champions. Like my mom's name is Kathy Jerushi. If you look her up, you'll see her karate videos. But
00:32:46
Aya Jarushishe does karate and stuff and that's how they met. So obviously he was stronger and he just used all of his power and force and American citizenship and his
00:32:59
Alexisgas station. >> Can I ask something real quick? So the actual cause of death from your mother like the murder in question >> would be like um like battery or what was like blunt force trauma or
00:33:12
Aya Jarushi>> Yeah. It would be like she just fell down the stairs and passed at an old age. Like that's how it's written on each document. Like he's like manipulator like roundhouse kicker down
00:33:24
Aya Jarushithe stairs. >> He has a lot of techniques in karate where you can do things. Yeah, you can do things without leaving marks on people. There's a lot of crime channels
00:33:35
Aya Jarushiwhere you can hurt someone without leaving a mark on the person. >> But the >> you I guess you had more questions. I don't know. Yeah, my question was just
00:33:46
Alexismore like specifically because this all sounds like kind of like hearsay like you're kind of like assuming that maybe because it's he didn't it doesn't sound like he directly mur at least for your
00:33:58
Alexissister from like the broken heart. I don't think that's like falls under any sort of like charge like he couldn't get charged with that. >> He didn't get charged with anything.
00:34:10
Brian AtlasHe's a master manipulator. But >> but I respect your opinion. >> So So for your mom though, >> um >> yeah, that might be a charge if >> like you said she fell down.
00:34:21
Aya Jarushi>> She fell down the stairs. >> He pushed her. >> He pushed her down. >> Years of abuse. And then suddenly at the end of the life, he said, "I hope you die. I hope your brother dies. I hope
00:34:33
Aya Jarushiyour sister dies." He pushed her down the stairs. He beat my brother to death. and my sister died of broken heart syndrome. And I put it all on the way
00:34:44
Brian Atlasthe parent raised us. >> I need to hit. >> Hold on. So, but I suppose two things could be true at the same time. So, like he could have been physically abusive
00:34:53
Brian Atlastowards your towards your mom, but like in terms of her actual death, right? Was he like did he
00:35:03
Brian Atlasprior to her death, was he actively beating her? And was the death a result of >> uh a beating? Essentially, >> every single day he would, but my mom,
00:35:15
Aya Jarushishe lived off of him and she was dependent on a provider and a man that goes to work and make money. So, she was scared to call the police. She we were bribed like, "Oh, I'll turn off the
00:35:27
Aya Jarushielectricity if you do this or I'm not going to bring water home if you don't do that." So, of course, she felt like she had nowhere to go, nowhere to live. So, I mean,
00:35:40
Brian Atlas>> why Charlotte, you are a monster, Charlotte. >> You're making me laugh, Charlotte. I keep looking. >> Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. >> Charlotte, you are just such a Bo. You know, you guys, >> this is the craziest story I've ever heard in my life. I I can't keep it.
00:35:53
Brian Atlas>> That's just the tip of the iceberg, guys. That's nothing. >> That's the tip of the iceberg. >> That's the tip of the iceberg. >> Okay. So there look did you um you said he actually he did beat your brother to
00:36:04
Brian Atlasdeath. >> Yeah, I have photos, pictures, videos. >> So that one's valid. >> I have documents, everything. >> Okay, but hold on. So just to be clear, I'm going to go ahead and just 100%
00:36:16
Brian Atlasbelieve you and grant that he was physically abusive. I'll grant that. But I I need to be specific here. When it comes to these deaths, at least with your brother, that seems to be the
00:36:28
Brian Atlasclosest one that you're willing to say that like it was a direct cause of his physical abuse that he died. So, you're saying your father beat his son, your brother,
00:36:41
Aya Jarushi>> to death? >> Yes. I'm looking you straight in the face and saying yes. >> Like,
00:36:49
Aya Jarushi>> to a point where this guy couldn't walk anymore. He was considered a vegetable. >> Yes. My 32-year-old brother, he was
00:37:00
Aya Jarushiconsidered a vegetable at that point. He was beaten so bad. He was getting disability and government checks for a living. He couldn't work. He couldn't go out of his room. >> Okay.
00:37:12
Aya Jarushi>> I mean, depression is a really real thing. And >> that's true. >> I mean, he passed away from all the he couldn't walk. His legs were broken. His
00:37:24
Aya Jarushiback was broken. My mom's neck was broken. Every day she would tell me like cuz he broke the back of her neck. Every day she would tell us kids like, "Oh, my neck could crack any day and I could go." Like she would just tell us that
00:37:38
Alexisall the >> Why are you guys laughing? What the What the [ __ ] >> I don't mind. I don't mind anyone laughing. >> I'm still waiting for the actual murder in question. Can somebody go >> Don't you like your neck break? You can
00:37:49
Aya Jarushibe paralyzed and still live. >> I mean, you can live when your neck breaks. You can live with a broken neck and wear a >> case. I mean, that's >> I I mean, look, there are definitely
00:38:01
Brian Atlaslike abusive people out there that are physically abusive. >> I'm I'm going to go ahead and just for grant all of it. My only my only hangup
00:38:11
Brian Atlashere is the the contribution of his physical abuse to the actual deaths of these people, right? So with the fir you said he murdered these people, right? But then the the first
00:38:25
Brian Atlasone you provided, you said she had broken heart syndrome. And I mean look, there's no doubt that physical abuse is incredibly traumatic and it can scar people for life. and not just uh mental
00:38:36
Brian Atlasscars, spiritual scars, but physical scars um or wounds or hurts or whatever. But when you categorize it as murder, I
00:38:46
Brian Atlasthink that there's like a a direct like, okay, you you have a hammer and you bash someone's skull in or you use your fist and you bash somebody's skull in. >> He did that every single day growing up
00:38:56
Aya Jarushisince I was one. No gun though, but he had blunt force with his hands. like he's a very strong man, a very strong >> And you said he was a he was karate
00:39:09
Aya Jarushiplayer. He's in martial arts. He's in Japan right now >> doing karate. >> He's not in jail. >> He's in Japan. He literally is in Japan. >> He's not He >> No, >> there there's never been any police
00:39:22
Aya Jarushireports. >> The first time I went to jail, I went to jail. >> Yeah. The first time I went to jail. the person who has not murdered anybody >> but dad who's murdered >> three people.
00:39:33
Aya Jarushi>> Exactly. Which is pretty >> just [ __ ] up. But >> I basically ran away from home as a protest to go to school. Me and my sister who is like a year or two younger
00:39:47
Aya Jarushithan me. >> So when the police came and arrived, they saw me crying and I couldn't talk. I was too shy. And they said, "We're just going to arrest them for
00:39:57
Aya Jarushidelinquency of a minor cuz I was with my little sister." So, most people die to go to school. But I was never allowed
00:40:06
Brian Atlasto. Most people would do anything or >> All right. Um here I'm going to I I don't know if I'm going to get anywhere with that. So, I'm going to just move it back onto the topic that I was originally going to get into, which
00:40:19
Brian Atlasis uh so you you do have dual citizenship. you have Jordan Jordanian citizenship. Um, you I'm trying to see here. You wrote here actually one other
00:40:30
Brian Atlasquick thing here is uh you say you're Muslim. My dear, I've looked at your Instagram. The photos that you post on your
00:40:41
Aya JarushiInstagram are not particularly becoming of a woman who claims to be a practicing Muslim. >> I can practice in private what I do in public. I mean, that's how I was raised
00:40:52
Aya Jarushiand a lot of things cause me to go that route in life. But, >> okay, >> I still try to do what I can to practice
00:41:00
Aya Jarushiat home a little bit or just say thank God for food or whatever I have. I always >> Can I ask you a question? If somebody was if somebody told you they were vegetarian,
00:41:13
Brian Atlas>> my brother's a vegetarian, >> right? But then you'd frequently see them consuming meat, but they continued claiming to be vegetarian. Would you, you might not have a problem with
00:41:23
Aya Jarushianybody eating meat, but would it be confusing to you why somebody who claims to be vegan or vegetarian eats meat?
00:41:33
Aya Jarushi>> I mean, I'm sure you're not a practicing Catholic or Christian either, but at the end of the day, we all practice how we practice on our own. And we all have our
00:41:43
Aya Jarushiown ways of practicing. I know it could be confusing if someone was eating pork claiming to be a Muslim, but >> well, >> I mean, I know my hair's not covered and
00:41:54
Aya Jarushistuff, but I still practice to the best of my knowledge. I mean, I >> Right. >> I don't fully practice a religion, but I do what I can. >> Right. I mean you you I I guess the
00:42:06
Brian Atlasthing is though is like my own position whether I'm atheist or agnostic or Christian or Muslim would be kind of irrelevant in this case because
00:42:17
Brian AtlasI for example I eat meat if other people eat meat I'm totally fine with that but when somebody tells me by the way I'm a vegetarian or I'm vegan then I'm I am in
00:42:29
Brian Atlasa position to be confused if I witness them eating meat because that is completely in contradiction to your position to your to your worldview and
00:42:40
Brian Atlasto your own categorization as and label as a vegan or vegetarian. In this case, um Islam contains pretty explicit
00:42:48
Aya Jarushium and detailed religious requirements as it relates to uh modesty. >> Five pillars, five pillars in Islam. uh
00:42:59
Brian Atlasto be a Muslim, one thing you have to do is pray every day. >> Okay. Well, the other pillars I'm not really particularly interested in, but there's Islamic scripture, the Quran, there's hadiths
00:43:11
Aya Jarushi>> um that do have uh direct and prescriptive guidance >> about modest dress for >> it does guide you in the right path. I grew up with a hijab on my entire life.
00:43:22
Aya JarushiI grew up I grew up covering my hair my whole life till I was 18. And I even took pics on the phone and brought it just in case you wanted to see. But I did, girl. >> Well, yeah, sure. I I'm not going to
00:43:34
Brian Atlasdispute that. Perhaps when you were younger, you did all these things. But I mean, and honestly, your hair out, whatever, right now, I don't I don't care. >> But my big thing is your Instagram is like >> Yeah. >> pretty
00:43:46
Aya Jarushiout there, you know? >> Just >> Yeah. >> Well, right now I do what I can just to >> titties out. >> Yeah. Here's my ass. And >> look, I don't really care.
00:43:58
Aya Jarushi>> I do post a lot of stuff, but >> I know you don't care, but I mean, that's just what I have to do right now to get by. So, I'll do it. >> You You have to post thirst straps on
00:44:09
Brian AtlasOkay. Well, that doesn't By the way, I I'm saving this for later, but um you deny the Only Fans. There's There's another perhaps even more damning component to this, but um here I'm going
00:44:22
Brian Atlasto bring it back to the thing. So, you say that you are uh a proud Palestinian and Native American. >> Yeah. >> So, I have a question for the whole panel. Now, I'm going to open it up.
00:44:34
Brian Atlas>> Um, how do I want to best frame this? Let's do uh Okay, I want to be really specific with the framing here. So,
00:44:46
Brian Atlasand I know some of you are, you know, whatever different heritages, ethnicities, whatever. in a morally neutral, blamefree
00:44:54
Brian Atlashypothetical uh conflict between the US and uh I know everybody here was born in the US, correct? Okay. So, between the
00:45:04
Brian AtlasUS and the uh the country of your either your parents' origin, so this could be Jordan, it could be Palestine. Uh I think some of you are are have Mexican
00:45:16
Brian Atlasheritage. So if your parents are from Mexico, uh so a hypothetical conflict between the US and your your I don't know what would be the right framing the her
00:45:28
Brian Atlas>> ally. >> Well, here I'll just um and by the way, so it's a morally neutral, blamefree hypothetical conflict between the United States and um say Palestine or Jordan or Mexico.
00:45:41
Brian Atlas>> There is a conflict. We'll get to that in a moment. But this is a hypothetical one. Where neither side neither side is right or wrong, to which country is your allegiance?
00:45:53
Aya Jarushi>> If neither side was right or wrong and both could be good or both could be bad, then I would stand with the country that
00:46:01
Nene (Destiny)I was born in, the United States. >> Okay. Yeah. Uh I don't think this would apply to you. What about you? >> I would say
00:46:14
Nene (Destiny)um >> the US and Mexico goes to war, >> right? >> That's actually >> To which country is your allegiance? >> I'm be honest, like homeland like Mexico.
00:46:25
Brian Atlas>> Okay. All right. Mexico. Um >> I'm half Mexican. My dad is from Mexico, but he's not an immigrant. So, >> I guess we could still ask the question to you. Uh where would your allegiance be? >> Um probably here in the US. >> The US. Okay. What? What about you?
00:46:38
Victoria>> US. >> US. Uh, >> 100% the US >> and then I Morocco or China for you or >> Morocco? >> It would it would be the US. >> Okay. >> It would be the US.
00:46:51
Nene (Destiny)>> Gotcha. >> So just you just just you. Okay. Um. Gotcha. And then just curious, why is that?
00:47:00
Nene (Destiny)>> Um, I was raised uh to just love my culture. I feel like I was raised a lot on a ranch, a rancho, you know, like I was raised >> here in California.
00:47:13
Nene (Destiny)>> Yeah. Uhhuh. In the Inland Empire. >> Um Yeah. I just love my culture so much. Like everything about my people. Um the food, the love, everything.
00:47:23
Brian Atlas>> What And what do you think? Like uh your parents uh your parents are citizens? >> Mhm. >> Like they uh >> Yeah. Yeah. My dad's from South Central and my mom's from Long Beach.
00:47:35
Nene (Destiny)>> But your dad, he immigrated here. >> Um, my grand my great-grandmother did. >> Okay. So, they're second generation. So, you're third gen. >> I'm not specifically sure on my grandparents, but I know they got citizenship. So, it just depends on my
00:47:48
Brian Atlasgrandparents, but they I think they immigrated here for sure. Yeah. They weren't born here >> and then they parents or grandparents. >> Grandparents and then they ended up getting citizenship. >> Okay. Your grand Let's do this. Your grandparents and your parents. Um, wait,
00:48:01
Brian Atlasyour grandparents do live here though, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. >> Um, if >> the United States went to war with Mexico. >> Uh, what do what do you think? I know they're not here, but um what do you
00:48:12
Brian Atlasthink or who do you think they would side with? The United States or Mexico? Where's their allegiance? >> That's hard. I would say
00:48:24
Brian AtlasI would say Mexico. Yeah. Yeah. So, like would they if there was some like war that broke out, do you think they would like go back to Mexico? Hypothetical, it's totally hypothetical. Would they go back to Mexico and like
00:48:36
Brian Atlas>> Well, I guess they're they're not young, so they're not going to like go fight a war. I I suppose, but >> they would stay here. >> Yeah. >> During the war. Okay. Um but you um you also would side with Mexico. Is that correct?
00:48:50
Brian Atlas>> Yeah. >> Okay. Um uh hold on. And just one point of clarification. >> Yeah. >> Um,
00:48:59
Brian Atlas>> in terms of allegiance, right, like >> do your, uh, your grandparents, did they get their citizenship? >> And then I I'm assuming your parents, they were well, they were born here, so they obviously have their citizenship.
00:49:13
Brian Atlas>> Um, >> I think when this question is I >> like in terms of allegiance to a country, I don't think this means that you need to like give background. Well, I don't think it means you have to like
00:49:25
Brian Atlasgive up cultural identity. Okay? You don't have to like abandon your heritage. >> You don't have to reject family ties. Like if you have family that's still in Mexico, you don't have to be like, "Fuck
00:49:35
Brian Atlasthem." No. Um even you don't have to stop emotional attachment, but I think when it relates to war, I think >> I don't know if you're the citizen of of
00:49:46
Brian Atlasuh the United States and at least with you and at least with your parents, they're not. I my understanding is they're not citizens of Mexico or maybe they are. >> I'm not too sure about their citizenship in Mexico, but I know for sure.
00:49:59
Nene (Destiny)>> But you're not you're not a Mexican citizen. >> No, I never got my citizenship. >> You don't have citizenship there. Okay. >> But if war were to break out, you would side with the place you don't have citizenship with. I think it's like a
00:50:11
Nene (Destiny)different perspective when you say war cuz that's like I don't even agree with war but I guess in that perspective I would say I love uh America like you know SoCal Southern California is where
00:50:22
Nene (Destiny)I'm born and raised. I love the culture here. I love the people too but predominantly it's like Mexicans and stuff so I'm just used to my culture. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean I don't think uh you you have to completely abandon
00:50:36
Brian Atlas>> Yeah. Yeah. >> And like reject your your uh heritage or culture. >> Yeah. >> But it's more so just it's more so just about allegiance. Um >> allegiance. Um >> yeah.
00:50:48
Alexis>> U may I ask um kind of like a specific question? >> Um so when we're talking about war um I feel like war is pretty vague. Um,
00:50:58
Alexis>> and I think our decision to who we are going to like stand with and ultimately, you know, like consider them and take their side is maybe like how the war
00:51:09
Alexisstarted or what one side is saying to the other, how they're behaving. Um, and kind of for an example, when these protests were happening, when Trump was getting elected, um, all these protests, I would say
00:51:20
Brian Atlas>> most people actually did side with Mexico. So, >> um, well, I mean, I >> from what we've seen, like from what we've seen, >> well, I mean, I'm not really going to speak on that, but in terms of the
00:51:31
Brian Atlasoriginal hypothetical, it would be, at least the way I framed it, it's completely neutral. >> Okay. >> Um, neither country is the aggressor. Neither has done anything unethical.
00:51:42
Brian AtlasThere's no there's no moral dimension to it. The question is strictly about in this valueneutral scenario um which nation would you stand with as a matter
00:51:53
Brian Atlasof allegiance alone? So I don't know if that changes anything but even then do you still as a matter of allegiance alone do you still uh side
00:52:04
Brian Atlaswith Mexico? >> Yes. In today's generation yes I do. >> What what do you mean today's generation? Why does that influence your decision? >> Uh I think just the chain of events
00:52:17
Nene (Destiny)that's going on. It it takes a big toll on my mentality with like >> where I feel like I fall under. >> Okay. Um
00:52:27
Brian Atlasbut I mean I understand that you know currently there are circumstances that you might feel are unjust as it relates to like the Trump administration's immigration policy. But like
00:52:40
Brian Atlasspecifically with the hypothetical, assume all ethical factors are removed, right? >> No one's at fault. Let's assume there's not like war crimes going on on either
00:52:50
Brian Atlasside. Both nations are acting honorably as far as you can. Um so in this completely neutral situation, um still does still Mexico. >> Still Mexico. >> Still Mexico.
00:53:02
Brian Atlas>> Mexico. Mhm. >> Okay. Um All right. Um that's interesting. Um
00:53:15
Nene (Destiny)any reason why? Just curious like any further reason why I guess. [Music] >> I'm just I just love my homeland. Like you know I visited when I was little and I have a lot of love for the country.
00:53:27
Brian Atlas>> How about this? >> Yeah. Let's say it's no longer uh neutral and it's actually Mexico's that is the aggressor and Mexico is the one that is uh invading the United States. >> Of course, we're going to have to grant
00:53:40
Brian Atlasin this hypothetical scenario that Mexico has a robust and competent enough military to do so. Um under this circumstance, would you does
00:53:51
Nene (Destiny)that change anything? >> Um yeah, of course it would. Yeah. So, do you side with the US or >> if it was affecting living situations like you know like if they're like you said they're taking over land and being aggressive and stuff.
00:54:03
Brian Atlas>> Um they want to they want to do a reconista. They want to take back territory in Texas, New Mexico and
00:54:15
Brian AtlasCalifornia. Maybe there's I don't know if they previously had territory in whatever they want to retake their territory. >> Yeah. Um, I would say then I would definitely side
00:54:27
Brian Atlaswith the US now, >> but it would be Mexican nationalism to retake the territory that the big bad United States >> uh took from them through conquest many
00:54:39
Nene (Destiny)many years ago. >> Yeah, I think it'd be more fair for sure for them to take back, you know. >> But you side with Mexico >> um in that situation >> in a war of aggression on the side of Mexico. >> No, I just would want I guess what it is
00:54:51
Brian Atlasnow. Yeah. But think about think about if Mexico took over California. Hey, we're not going to deport anybody. Everybody, all the uh people who I guess are illegal immigrants. Yeah, you guys just stay.
00:55:04
Brian AtlasYou're now part of Mexico. It's Mexico now. Um the official language becomes Spanish. You wouldn't want that. >> Um I would want that. >> You would want that.
00:55:12
Aya Jarushi>> Yeah. Already taken over most like Mexicans here. It's literally fully like >> the lady that did my hair was Mexican today. >> Twice as many Mexican restaurants.
00:55:24
Aya Jarushi>> So many here. It's a lot. >> This is a cool city though. Like I've never been to Santa Barbara. Like it's really nice. >> Hold on. Totally. >> The weather is it is nice here.
00:55:35
Brian Atlas>> I'm just saying I've never been. It's nicer than New Orleans. >> Nothing's nicer, but it is nice. >> Now, question for you though. If with
00:55:45
Brian Atlasthis hypothetical where Mexico reclaimed, retook its uh territory from the United States and let's say it took over the the entirety of California and
00:55:56
Brian AtlasNew Mexico and I guess Texas. Why not? >> Um how would you would you be okay if it if uh this new territory of well it's part
00:56:07
Brian Atlasof the Mexican state, Mexican uh the country of Mexico if it deported uh people who don't have Mexican heritage
00:56:18
Brian Atlaslike me. I live in California. I'm very white and pale and they're like, "You know what? Look, we can't have these white people living in California and Texas, New Mexico. If you don't, you can't speak Spanish, you got to go."
00:56:31
Brian AtlasMaybe they'll get, you know, if you're a white guy and you can speak Spanish, they'll they'll let you stay, right? But if you don't, they got What do you think about that? Would you be okay if they're just like, "You know what? We can't have these people
00:56:43
Nene (Destiny)No, >> in our country we should deport these white people. >> I don't think even race should be involved to be honest. But yeah. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. I think that's kind Oh, and then
00:56:54
Brian Atlas>> I believe your answer um you know you very much identify as being Palestinian in the event that the United States went to war >> in both they are in war. >> What Jordanian American Palestinian in
