00:00What's that noise?
00:05That's jets.
00:08And, and what are they doing?
00:12They're testing the jets.
00:14And then, like, and then if they work, then what are they doing?
00:18Then they're gonna take them far away and use them to hurt people.
00:25Like, hurt their ears with the noise?
00:29Yeah, and hurt their bodies and their houses.
00:34And is it really far away?
00:38Yeah, it's, like, across the ocean in Palestine.
00:43If that was my house, I would not like that.
00:46I would say no.
00:48Yeah, I think a lot of people are saying no.
00:51Like, Eliza, when they go to protests, they're saying no to people in Palestine getting hurt and their homes getting hurt.
00:59Then why are they doing it?
01:04To feel powerful?
01:07Yeah, maybe.
01:09But, like, rude kind of powerful, not good kind of powerful.
01:15Yeah.
01:17What do you think a good kind of powerful is?
01:20Like, if I, if I broke someone's house and then I could help them rebuild it.
01:25Yeah, that would be a really good kind of powerful.
01:29And what about the carpenters?
01:31What do you mean?
01:33To rebuild all the homes.
01:35I don't, I don't think that they're, it's safe for carpenters right now.
01:40Then they can't rebuild their homes.
01:42I know, yeah.
01:45So why don't the jets stop?
01:48Because their government, the United States government is making them do that.
01:53And who is driving them?
01:56Pilots are driving the jets.
01:58I know when it will stop.
02:00When will it stop?
02:02It'll stop when all the kids now are grownups because then the drivers of the jets will be so old that they'll be dead.
02:12Hmm.
02:14Well, the government just hires more people to drive jets all the time.
02:21Well, that's pretty rude.
02:24Maybe, what if, what if we take the jets and we put bungee cords around them so that they can't go up into the air and hurt people's homes?
02:36Hmm.
02:37And then they try to go up and they'll just go boing, boing and they can't go up.
02:41That's an idea.
02:42But they might get out of there.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Maybe, what if we dig a really deep hole and we put the jets in the hole?
02:56Hmm.
02:57But then maybe, maybe the drivers will ask the town to help them get the jets out.
03:03Yeah, maybe.
03:05But maybe I'll dig the hole so deep that it goes down to where there's lava in the earth and then, and then the jets will turn into ashes in the lava.
03:18That could work.
03:20And then the drivers of the jets will try to drive their jets and be like, what?
03:24There's nothing here.
03:27Yeah.
03:28My friend was gonna make a movie about the sound of the jets and how the jets hurt people.
03:38Is she gonna show the movie to the government and then the government, he's gonna watch it on his phone and then he'll be like, what?
03:47And then, and then what will he do?
03:49I hope he would change his mind.
03:53Yeah.
03:54The government's supposed to listen to us.
03:56How come?
03:58Because we voted for them.
04:01But they're not listening?
04:04Hmm.
04:05Not about this?
04:08Well, maybe it's because them paying them.
04:13Hmm.
04:14We pay the government when we pay our taxes.
04:16What?
04:17That's pretty rude.
04:20So the government, he, he gets money from other people and then he uses it for not kind things?
04:27Yeah, right now.
04:29If you get someone else's money, then you should use it for kind things.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Hmm.
04:37Are they hurting the land here too?
04:40In some ways, yeah.
04:42In what ways?
04:43Well, like pollution.
04:46What's pollution?
04:48Like putting trash in the land.
04:50Oh, yeah, we kind of do that some too.
04:53Yeah, we're a part of that.
04:56What if we could just eat all the trash?
04:58All the trash that's in the landfill, we could just go nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
05:02And then, and then it'd be all gone.
05:05Like worms, like turn it into dirt.
05:08That would be cool.
05:10I wish we could do that.
05:12But maybe, maybe what if we told them if, if, if you hurt other land, then what if you hurt your own land?
05:26That would be bad.
05:28Yeah, like how would it feel if it happened to you?
05:32Yeah.
05:34Would you put that in your movie for the government?
05:38Yeah, because, because no one will want their home hurt.
05:42Yeah.
05:44Maybe when the jets are all in the lava, then it will stop.
05:49When lava is still in the earth, it's called magma.
05:52Okay, so magma.
05:56So how deep is the magma in the ground?
06:01Um, pretty deep.
06:04I don't know.
06:05I can look it up.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Okay, so magma is on average 1,800 miles below ground.
06:17Okay.
06:19So that's like going from here to Texas, but instead of going across the country, you're just going straight down.
06:28Okay, we have a lot of hard work to do.
06:31Yeah.
06:33Oh, I got this root.
06:35I was digging and I got this root.
06:37Is it, is it dead?
06:40Yeah, I think so.
06:44Well, well, it's okay if, if a few roots have to die so that the people can be free.
