Really quickly, if you are watching on YouTube, can you just make sure to like this video and subscribe to the channel? I do keep the show completely free and I am trying to not only grow my audience but also expose this show to more people, which I guess are kind of one and the same. But one of the best ways that you can support me is by liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and sharing it with a friend.
It just helps get the show onto more people's news feeds, which helps me keep growing the show and, you know, doing what I love. And of course, if if you're listening audio as well, you can do the same thing. Just share the show. Leaving a review always helps too. So thank you in advance. All right, first story. Ed Sheeran has been on a tour throughout the United States since June. But last week everything kind of unraveled. And I do just kind of want to give a heads up. This story is going to focus on the events that have transpired since September fourth. So starting with McLeore's performance at MetLife. I know there's a ton we could talk about in the background of all of this. The century-long fight between Israel and Palestine, McLamore's past actions, the definition of genocide.
I mean, there's a lot that we could cover, but today we're focusing specifically on September 4th and beyond. If you do want a deep dive on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I have a two-part episode that I released back in 2023. after October seventh that you can check out. If you just scroll all the way back in my episodes to October twenty twenty three, you'll find it. It it's two parts. And the first part is kind of just like a deep dive. And then I believe the second part is more of a QA. I gathered a bunch of listener questions and answered those. Okay, so let's get into it. Throughout this tour, Sheeran has had multiple different opening acts, but on September fourth and fifth, When Sharon performed at MetLife in New Jersey, McLemore was the opener.
Now, McLemore has long used his music as a political outlet. One of his most famous songs is a song called Same Love. It's about marriage equality and LGBTQ rights. He also has a song called White Privilege and then a follow-up song called White Privilege 2. He has a song called Fed Up, which is about billionaires and and fascism. And more recently, he's been very outspoken about Palestinians and the war in Gaza. And back in 2024, he released a song called Heinz Hall, which actually plays a role in this story. But that song was written in support of the pro-Palestinian protests that we saw happening on college campuses here in the United States at the time. So when McIlmore opened for Sheeran on September 4th, among the songs he performed was Heinz Hall.
But before he started performing that song, he gave a little speech, and this is what he said. One
of the main reasons why I wanted to come on this tool with my brother, my dear brother. One of the reasons was because the pherometers stand up here. on stages in stadiums across America say two words that are very near and dear to my heart free ring Palestine.
I said three new pounds.
I want those words to be loud and clear. So the people from Gaza all the way to the occupied West No.
It was next on it. was inspiring. I'm the brain. At Columbia University Schools.
