so the Sultan of Brunei is in some hot water
right now related to Sharia law in Brunei
at the motion picture and television violence joined a growing
listed organizations and individuals that are refusing to do business
a with the Beverly Hills hotel because it is owned
by the Sultan or the government of Brunei and they're protesting the
country's new Islamic sharia
laws you which punishes culture adultery abortions
same-sex relationships with flogging and stoning
the but this other bright he he's into it we've got a quote from
the decision to implement the Sharia penal code is not for fun but it is to
obey all its command
as written in the koran so it's a a little bit more about Deborah no I
the tonight a conservative country where alcohol is banned
Muslim courts I already govern family fare is
and they've begun phasing in virgins up Sharia law
for penalties such as a reputation for theft and stoning for adultery
and moved to the punishment I can be applied to non-muslims who account for
about a third
a 444,000 people in the country
I and there's a lot of other places now that our
better joining the boycott about the Hells I
hotel what do you guys think I mean this is this is why you think it's sorta
brought up the Donald sterling thing going on here
and owners are gonna believe all kinda weird things into
and usually we still go to a restaurant and AAA God as my game people in
and all that you know I'm I but I don't know I certainly
at and behind the people who wanna boycott
his a him and news that the companies he owned but at the same time it's like
well why don't we boycott exxon why do we boycott Saudi Arabian oil because
they only women came in we vote in saudi arabia you know so why don't we boycott
their oil wealth
be careful because they can't drive so they can get on the ball and getting the
monorail at this one thing like there's a lot to these things happening
everywhere
and why do we decided why is this why is this I'm not with them
I'm against this guy in implementing Sharia law and I think it's bad and I
will I will go to the Beverly Hills Hotel
anymore yeah
real quick and free job is to somebody other companies that are joining in on
the boycott include Richard Branson's Virgin Group The Hollywood Reporter
which currently hosts a bunch big parties there
and the Feminist Majority foundation but do you do you agree with me that is sort
of slippery slope because we
we don't know who owns all the things that we're dealin' and yeah I know the
Clippers is made it to the second round
Donald sterling is now profiting off but in the claims wedding
insane I think the jury makes a really great point about how difficult it is to
pick and choose what you're gonna boycott I mean if you look into every
single company
there are some political beliefs there's their are cases abroad doing
that you know as a progressive you disagree with you find absolutely
deplorable
but in this case I mean you have these major companies that are now refusing to
have
you meant at these hotels in at these places the big guy owns and is a former
their political speech
if it accomplishes nothing I'm still in favor a bit because it's them practicing
their right
it's been making a statement about something horrible that happening in
this country
I mean we're talking about about people who will lose their lives
for abortion and same-sex relationships same-sex
anything any indication for that they will literally
top of your hand I am still going on it's the perfect example human rights
abuses and if these companies want to make a statement about it I'm all for it
but I do agree it's really difficult to pick and choose which companies are
willing to do business with
because click target for instance I well target but it makes me sick to my
stomach to know that they were funding anti-gay politicians it goes against my
political beliefs and a lot of these major corporations have similar issues
yeah is there any way we can shop anywhere no everything i mean we know a
lot more now than we're used to write you know because the internet no
sort what people are doing but just buy everything at Costco
that I should together he do a pretty good yeah I pay those people fairly size
living wage
you got his head like a todos while a paper that's pretty much it
yet a you know you have to realize that my friend Paul Martin says that the
world runs on the exploited
labor a poor people and we just have to accept that I guess not I don't know
what to do
you're going to get mad at this guy but we're still gonna have an iPhone made by
slaves inside a burning
you know and understand what what I was supposed to do you know that people get
come down on Amazon dot com to you but I'm like
with those are those are located there is word that issue least
warehouse jobs I've had a shitty warehouse job before he's not exploited
I'm so I don't know where were you what you have to do you guys make a
distinction between people that do it
that leave here and do these things domestically boers is internationally
to someone like Donald sterling he was discriminating against american citizens
you know you mean verses the Sultan of Brunei this is happening
you know yet the world away so does that so now that makes it better and I you
know I know we we obviously horrible stuff but does that make some
distinction where you could say I write a fun thing in Beverly Hills I'm gonna
go to the
Jimmy where else would you stay in Beverly Hills the golden I
go to my friend PST p.m. to better
by I mean does that make any difference to you it whether it's someone is doing
it he reverses doing it summer it shouldn't make a difference right
ideally a few
you committed to the cause or the idea and i think is good I say
you know what do you stop as a protest everybody I know I will say this though
like you see what happened I brought this up before the show with when people
got behind with Glenn Beck said all that horrible stuff then called President
Obama raises that he hates white people
and it's so they got the boycotted you and finally popped it was like a year
costing us money you have to go
and they replace them with by parking lot backs right so it's just like
a and then is is he worse than rush limbaugh was rushed to a lot worse than
chris wallace is Chris what was cordoned
Sean Hannity was constantly lobbying or Bill O'Reilly was demonizing black
people
already worth and Donald Trump was race-baiting on NBC
I mean whole a so I I don't know I wish there was something I was gonna they had
it is the worst then you said trumpeter
tribes they weren't going I go well her about you know so I
I guess IKEA this does something I think it's good that in races like people's
awareness about women's rights is up
it was what it was the woman's rights organization that hold their meeting or
our yearly gala
ever to give awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel
it's not a feminist majority foundation day and the coach Eric that is Mavis
Leno Jay Leno's why all your day
so they're not gonna they're not going to happen again right that thing got to
make our
Jim look at these protests are often done
when they're convenient right I mean the reality is jim you're right most though
oil come from saudi arabia sorts of Breckenridge and they are
a despicable state but if he really cared we all stop driving cars but
that's not realistic I mean it is not realistic that it's not a real option
so we protesting their convenient we also protesting their high-profile cell
you know you produce the Beverly Hills Hotel that's a big deal the protest
motel 6
not a big deal right yeah and also he goes to
what we were discussing earlier about the preacher do we end up strengthening
these people could remember when the whole chick-fil-a think we have an
interest rate Jim
they never storm sold more fried chicken yeah they did for those three weeks so
do we end up strengthening the very people
because then they do not their base and then the unintended consequences right
I but people to there's one more aspect to this story
and people us a while it doesn't really hurt this guy is worth twenty billion
dollars what did hers is the employees at that hotel
that's true I don't what do you do about that like that idea
well that will also remember when people were boycotting BP gas stations right
and they're actually all franchise
so you actually worried even the herding the quietly pp about to get some
a special hurting the local you heard her local but the reason why I didn't go
to BP gas stations because they have dog shit on their handles
that's true is that right yeah
that had you're totally true to recruit the a yeah
I don't know you check it out I don't go my hands are clean up dog shit
