5:44

david

5:49

a tuna the banana eater said

5:52

the comedian called out to him

5:54

to respond

5:59

art is

5:59

the question mark he later have

6:02

a very with my performance

6:04

i put my question marks after

6:06

that last question was this

6:10

, how artist talk with each other we

6:12

talk fine art this was his art

6:14

and this with my performance this

6:17

was not named autism he

6:19

insisted technically

6:27

this was true the puritan gallery

6:29

wasn't selling a banana duct tape to a

6:31

wall but rather the concept

6:34

of a banana duct tape to a wall the

6:36

, physical material involved with

6:39

a certificate of authenticity and

6:41

a fourteen page instruction booklet that

6:43

explained how to install and maintain

6:45

the comedian according

6:48

to the instructions the banana was to

6:50

be replaced every seven to ten days

6:53

and it was to be duct taped to the wall one

6:55

hundred and seventy five centimeters off the

6:57

ground

7:01

in the end the gallery decided not

7:03

to press charges against david the tuna

7:05

but they didn't duct tape another banana

7:08

to the wall either the

7:10

following morning they explain their decision

7:13

on instagram apologies

7:15

to every once the will not be able to participate

7:18

in comedian they room the

7:20

crowds are just too big and

7:22

they are endangering the other works of

7:25

art in the vicinity but

7:28

all day sunday december eighth

7:31

the parents and both with once again

7:33

marked with crowds of people

7:36

came , instagram and dictum

7:39

dictum banana least banana this

7:42

is when rod weber soda and

7:44

using red lipstick smeared on his face

7:47

he wrote epstein didn't kill himself

7:50

on the blank law

7:51

can

7:54

i introduced myself this to

7:56

with photographed and instagram

7:59

by december

8:02

twenty nineteen epstein didn't kill

8:04

himself had become a rallying

8:06

cry for conspiracy theorists of

8:08

all political persuasions q

8:11

an honors and our kids socialists and proud

8:13

boys all dot behind this meme

8:16

because they all believe that our

8:18

world is run by elites that

8:20

can kill a man even if he's locked

8:23

up in a federal jail cell

8:26

it's unclear if rod

8:29

weber personally, believe epstein didn't

8:31

kill but he most certainly believed

8:34

in the meme a month before

8:36

art basel miami he

8:38

went new hampshire and he trying

8:40

to get on the presidential primary ballot

8:42

9:24

ron epstein didn't kill himself weather

9:27

9:34

back and twenty nine team i was totally

9:36

fascinated with the story i

9:38

9:43

read all the interviews with both david

9:45

a tuna and broad esteem didn't

9:47

kill himself weber the

9:49

banana affair seemed like the perfect

9:52

framing for an episode on

9:54

performance or but

9:56

then well i got distracted

9:59

over the huh it is another story caught

10:01

my attention some virus bubbling

10:04

up in china i , think

10:06

i gave the banana banana thought

10:10

10:12

when i found myself standing across

10:15

the street from mister epstein didn't

10:17

kill himself himself

10:22

i stood there deep in contemplation

10:25

as the police car drove away rod

10:28

epstein didn't kill himself weber's buddies

10:31

chased after then

10:34

then one else would also witnessed this

10:36

confrontation role that there

10:39

was an older man

10:40

pushing a shopping cart

10:43

the wall got the wrong gallery he

10:45

said who me i snapped

10:47

11:39

11:41

medium sized thumbnails of oil

11:43

painting i recognized

11:46

bush's clunky figuring and drab

11:48

palette that not the subject matter

11:50

these images we're explosive

11:53

yeah destruction sadness

11:56

loss fear and terror

11:58

george bush made

11:59

12:01

12:03

to the image of george bush standing

12:06

on a pile of rubble holding a bullhorn

12:10

underneath with that title the

12:12

portrait as gonna messenger

12:15

many of the images contains

12:17

scenes of unspeakable violence

12:19

and gore

12:20

one was titled flight ninety

12:22

three it depicted the

12:24

inside of an airplane a

12:27

few passengers console the woman holding

12:30

a decapitated channel the

12:32

aisle another group of passengers stood

12:34

ready to march on too dark skinned

12:36

men armed with knives standing

12:38

guard in front of the cockpit where

12:42

did you get this i stammered

12:44

in disbelief from the trash

12:47

outside the empty silber can store

12:49

someone must have thrown it out by accident

12:52

that i've been watching the place and they are definitely

12:55

turning it into an art gallery

12:57

they keep calling in all these packages

13:00

painting size packages okay

13:04

but have you know they're bringing in these

13:06

paintings i asked he jabbed

13:08

his finger on one as a some nails

13:10

i saw this one it wasn't

13:13

wrapped up

13:14

the canvas who is shaped

13:16

like an eyeball

13:18

it was an image of the twin towers

13:20

collapsing on to a crowd of firemen

13:23

policemen and civilians decked

13:25

out in business attire the

13:27

title was the evil eye

13:29

of a mullah omar i

13:31

saw this once i saw them

13:34

bring this once inside

13:37

when i the

13:39

morning

13:40

i flipped back to the front page document

13:43

there were a number of contact the emails and

13:45

phone numbers can i buy

13:47

this from you as

13:49

sure a one hundred dollars he

13:51

replied

13:53

the shopping carts with filled with

13:55

swimwear and chopsticks

13:57

boxes and boxes of trump's

14:01

okay i said wait here

14:03

i just need to go to the eighteen i

14:06

ran across the street into the bodega

14:09

i took one hundred dollars out of the a team but

14:11

when i came out the man was gone

14:15

there was no trace of him or his shopping

14:18

i walked down west broadway to

14:20

where the zebra can store used to be

14:23

the windows were covered with brown

14:26

paper and ancient advertisements

14:28

for luxury speed up i

14:31

knocked on the door

14:33

no one answered

14:34

i stood around for an hour unsure

14:37

of what to do hoping the

14:39

man with a shopping carts would return

14:43

he never did and so

14:46

we home

14:57

i nine eleven i was sleeping

15:00

when my girlfriend phone to tell me a

15:02

plane had just hit one of the world trade

15:04

towers and went back

15:06

to sleep but she phone again

15:08

phone again minutes later and said another plane

15:11

just hit the other tower

15:14

i got out of bed in turn on the radio

15:18

the , thing anyone seem to know for sure

15:20

was the planes had both departed

15:22

from boston boston

15:25

i thought it was a group of crazy

15:27

red sox red i

15:29

know that sounds absurd but

15:31

back then i lived in boston and

15:33

bostonians were always talking

15:35

about how much they wanted to kill the

15:37

yankees back

15:40

then i knew as much about baseball

15:42

rivalry baseball rivalry knew about terrorism

15:45

and al qaeda after

15:48

awhile my friend chris came over

15:50

and we went downstairs to the people's republic

15:54

the , turned the t v on

15:56

forest but he didn't seem to care

15:58

much about what was going on

16:01

i believe we spent the entire day

16:03

and that are watching the towers

16:06

fall again and again

16:11

when i woke up on wednesday i decided

16:14

to document this historic moment

16:17

i had had show at the time it

16:19

was called your radio nightlight

16:21

and over the next few days i tried

16:23

to capture the fear that paranoia

16:26

and the craziness for my show the following

16:28

sunday i even took

16:30

a trip the boston's logan airport to

16:32

investigate my theory about the red

16:35

sox fans but the security

16:37

guards refused to let me end of

16:39

the terminal in

16:42

the end i secretly recorded my

16:44

conversations with a number of my

16:46

friends in order to get their

16:48

true feelings about nine eleven

16:51

i called the episode hijacked

16:55

i never done that before and

16:57

i've never done it again my friend tim

17:00

didn't speak to me for over a year

17:08

for me nine eleven was much

17:10

more than a rude awakening nine

17:13

eleven opened up my eyes and forever

17:15

changed how i saw my country

17:18

it's history and it's future and

17:21

after nine eleven it was easy to see

17:23

that george bush was dead set

17:26

on refreshing the american

17:28

tree of cruelty

17:33

he launched two wars he ordered

17:35

american soldiers to torture and

17:37

enemy combatants to be locked up forever

17:40

without due process george

17:43

, gave fast new powers to

17:45

america's spies and corporations

17:47

thanks to george bush americans

17:49

lost their rights to privacy and

17:51

their labor protections and

17:54

the american people were totally

17:56

on board with all this cruelty we

17:58

cheered on the wars the patriot act

18:01

be compassionate conservatism steep

18:03

transformation of employees

18:05

and to independent contractors but

18:08

most of our we cheered for

18:10

the enhanced interrogations

18:16

i'm not convinced that without the abu

18:18

ghraib photos of american soldiers torturing

18:20

their prisoners george bush would

18:22

have lost his reelection bid and two

18:25

thousand and four but

18:27

he won he won big

18:30

george bush soundly defeated

18:32

the reality based community

18:38

it so much easier to talk about this

18:40

today thanks to donald trump's

18:42

millions of americans now intuitively

18:45

and viscerally understand

18:47

that america has become and

18:49

always was the cruelty

18:52

based community

18:56

but in the aftermath of nine eleven this

18:59

truth was much harder to communicate

19:02

george bush also use nine eleven

19:04

to weaponize patriotism so

19:07

all criticism was anti american

19:09

traitorous seasons the rejection

19:12

of techno optimism with

19:14

blasphemy the

19:17

bush years were extremely

19:20

extremely difficult for me

19:26

this is why i took a pilgrimage

19:29

to the inauguration a barack obama

19:31

in two thousand nine i

19:34

, not to watch the swearing in

19:36

but rather but out

19:41

i'll never forget standing

19:43

there in the crowd in the freezing cold

19:45

screaming with joy as

19:47

bush's helicopter sword

19:49

off into the system

19:58

day

20:00

i've been harboring a delusion

20:03

a delusion that george bush would

20:05

one day be held accountable

20:08

for his crimes and

20:11

when it was announced that the us is

20:13

exit from afghanistan would

20:15

coincide with the twentieth anniversary

20:18

of nine eleven my delusions

20:20

intensify the

20:23

coverage of the afghan pullout

20:26

brought me back to my senses many

20:28

of the report never even mentioned

20:31

george bush at

20:33

first i imagined him

20:35

driving around on his texas ranch

20:37

shooting rifles up into the air and whooping

20:40

triumphantly

20:41

he did it he escaped the judgment

20:44

of history surely bush with

20:46

his status then

20:49

a week it

20:50

that was staking out the former

20:52

ville beacons luxury swimwear star

20:55

watching men in black hauling

20:58

large kansas sized packages

21:00

into the space

21:02

i realized

21:03

the wrong george bush

21:06

is a heartless and petty man he's

21:08

incapable of seeing his

21:10

eraser from the story of america

21:12

as disasterous two trillion twenty

21:14

year misadventure in afghanistan

21:17

as a blessing or a guest

21:19

for george bush

21:21

this deletion

21:23

the ultimate insult why

21:26

else would he choose to mount a show

21:28

of his nine eleven paintings and a pop

21:30

up gallery near ground zero

21:33

the angry

21:34

that we no longer remember his cruelty

21:37

he wanted to make sure

21:39

we never forget again

21:51

it was a hacker who first tip the world

21:53

after george bush's artistic ambition

21:57

in february twenty thirteen marcella

21:59

the original do suffer hacked

22:02

into george bush sr dorothy's

22:04

aol account the

22:07

discovered an email from the former

22:09

presidents with thirteen image

22:11

attachments george bush

22:13

with proudly showing off his first

22:15

paintings with his extended family

22:19

goose of her in turn share these

22:21

paintings with the world

22:24

mean girl bloggers and muckraking critics

22:27

had a field day bushes renderings

22:29

of dogs and cats were roundly

22:32

mocked this this

22:34

it never happened george bush most

22:36

certainly would have moved on to another

22:39

post presidential hobby

22:41

per say

22:42

the beach shooting but the cruel

22:44

ridicule motivated him to stick

22:46

with stick

22:48

the hired a slew of art instructors and

22:50

hunkered down in his studio

22:52

they the rembrandt trapped in this bodies

22:55

your job is deliberate him bush

22:57

shouted at gail norfleet one

22:59

of his first teachers it

23:03

was cedric huckabee another early

23:05

instructor who came up with the idea for

23:07

bush's first big series portraits

23:10

of wounded warriors portraits

23:13

of wounded former soldiers bush had

23:15

met during mountain bike rides and

23:17

open golf outings organized by the

23:19

bush institute in

23:22

two thousand and seventeen bush debuted

23:25

portraits of courage traveling

23:28

art exhibits and books containing sixty

23:30

six oil portraits and a for

23:32

panel mural four

23:34

years after the hacking george bush

23:37

dared the world to laugh at him again

23:40

portraits of courage got tons of press

23:43

coverage but series art critics

23:45

barely glanced at the paintings

23:47

bush was myth

23:48

no one seems to notice the most

23:50

courageous and most wounded warrior

23:53

at the center the whole thing

23:59

the next project george bush decided

24:02

to up the steaks he decided

24:04

to go for woke he decided

24:06

to paint immigrants

24:08

he spent three years painting forty three

24:11

portraits of famous an ordinary

24:13

people who have all immigrated

24:15

to america again

24:19

he organized a traveling art exhibit and

24:21

a book called out of many

24:23

one

24:26

bush's plan for the exhibition and

24:28

the book release or totally offended

24:31

by the corona virus there

24:33

were no parties and know gala dinner

24:36

like many artists george bush was

24:38

heartbroken that is new work had

24:40

to compete for attention with a global

24:42

pandemic that was killing hundreds

24:44

of thousands of americans with no end

24:47

in sight the

24:49

invited a number of prestigious art

24:51

critics to visit his studio so

24:53

he could show off his paintings and talk

24:55

about them once

24:57

again

24:58

the critics didn't engage the

25:01

only bookings he got were for network

25:03

tv

25:05

the morning shows and the weekend

25:07

morning shows and

25:10

the video for cbs a sunday morning

25:13

you can see that george bush's

25:15

unhappy you can totally

25:17

see that he's frustrated and confused

25:20

as to why his woke posturing isn't

25:22

resonating

25:24

the portraits that you have done a

25:26

beautiful

25:28

the how does it change policy

25:30

it doesn't

25:33

but it's it's a part of hopefully

25:35

creating a better understanding

25:37

about

25:39

the role of emigration our society

25:42

are mine is just a small voice

25:45

what i hope is a chorus of

25:47

people saying

25:50

let's see if we can solve the problem

25:54

there was something in that cbs sunday

25:56

morning interview that resonates with

25:58

me

25:59

the studio tucked in the corner behind

26:02

a giant portrait of a man's of indeterminate

26:04

ethnicity i thought a corner

26:07

another kansas a distinctly

26:10

rounded corner

26:12

the corner

26:13

of an eyeball shaped kansas

26:17

the

26:26

narrative david a tune is our basel miami

26:29

our performance broke a number of critics

26:31

suspected that the sun had been cordoned

26:34

this wasn't true the two men

26:36

didn't even know each other but it's understandable

26:39

why this interpretation spread married

26:41

steel katelyn duct tape the banana to

26:43

a wall and david the to and it took it down

26:45

in aided the

26:47

, of performance expanded the

26:49

aesthetic aura of comedian

26:53

comedian brought more attention and more value

26:56

to the work of art in

26:58

the future when museums like the

27:00

guggenheim who now one guggenheim who the additions

27:02

displeased comedian bill need to employ

27:05

multiple security guards to ensure

27:07

no one else eats their precious banana

27:11

now even though the wall rod epstein

27:13

didn't kill himself weber attacked was banana

27:16

all this is lipstick traces were

27:18

still a threat to the artworks aesthetic

27:20

aura broad , didn't

27:22

kill himself weber's performance threatened to

27:25

connect the comedian with a course

27:27

in nasty mean rod

27:29

epstein didn't kill himself weber's art performance

27:32

threatened to devalue the very

27:34

concept of one hundred and fifty thousand

27:36

dollar banana duct tape to tape wall

27:38

but in order

27:40

to truly understand why rod

27:42

epstein didn't kill himself weber went to jail

27:45

while david a tuna did not well

27:47

dear listener we must we examined these

27:49

to performance pieces we ,

27:51

take a closer look

27:55

rod epstein didn't kill himself weber accuse

27:58

art basel miami of him

27:59

arrested because they rejected the political

28:02

message of his art this

28:04

, not true even if ride

28:06

it seemed didn't killings of weber said scribbled

28:08

the lyrics to the same as louis prima some yeah

28:11

we have no been and

28:11

today on the parrot in law he still

28:14

would have spent the night in prison broad

28:17

, didn't kill himself whether we to

28:19

jail jail of his of

28:23

when you watch the video of david the tuna eating

28:25

the banana the first thing you notice

28:27

is how com he is there are no sudden

28:30

movements he doesn't even speak with a mouthful

28:32

he looks like an art professor the gonna our

28:34

professor who guess lectures at top tier universities

28:37

and as i'm and schools but

28:39

when you watch the video of rod estes in

28:41

terms of weber writing epstein didn't

28:43

kill himself on didn't blank wall the

28:46

first thing you notice is the red lipstick

28:48

smeared all over his lipstick and his hands

28:51

he moves with the jerky hands of

28:53

a dangerous person he looks

28:55

like the kind of guy who asked you for spare

28:58

change and then be rates you for having

29:00

a flat ass when you say sorry a

29:02

i don't have any cash but

29:05

the most problematic aspects of any

29:07

epstein but kill himself weber's presentation

29:10

is the beard he's got one of

29:12

those six scraggly pubic hair style

29:14

beard sprouting from his chin the

29:16

red lipsticks makes it look totally

29:18

revolting are

29:20

basil miami had no choice

29:22

but the hall him away

29:27

the twentieth anniversary of nine eleven

29:29

the fast approaching

29:31

it was time for me

29:33

the act

29:34

i had to destroy george bush's paintings

29:37

before he unveiled them to the were and

29:40

i had to destroy their owners

29:42

the

29:44

disposing of the paintings would be easy

29:47

on e bay i found this antique

29:49

clown seltzer bottle and i filled

29:51

it with a bright red viscous in

29:54

i would hold those paintings down and

29:56

bullied them to death

29:59

dealing with

29:59

the orange was going to be more difficult

30:03

this is why i decided to

30:05

storm the pop up art gallery dressed

30:08

as rod epstein didn't kill himself

30:10

weber on amazon

30:13

i bought a black t-shirt a black baseball

30:15

cap and a black sanitary mask

30:17

all emblazoned with the phrase epstein

30:20

didn't kill himself i made

30:22

my very own pubic hair beard and

30:24

attached it to the inside of my

30:27

epstein didn't kill himself mask thanks

30:29

to covered i had confidence

30:32

that confidence could pull this disguise off

30:35

i also constructed a performance

30:37

can

30:38

using a chiropractic neck brace and

30:41

a sophie stick i built a holster

30:43

from my phone

30:44

i was able to set the angle just right

30:47

i knew beard would feature prominently

30:49

in every show not

30:52

even the concept of george bush's

30:54

nine eleven paintings could survive

30:56

my performance
