Transcript

00:00:00.000 hey everybody come on in golden age
00:00:17.680 oh well you know what the third act is right the third act is the place in the movie where
00:00:28.120 you think it can't get any worse and the third act was the coronavirus now you're saying to yourself
00:00:35.760 but wait scott we had the third act the coronavirus it does seem like we've beaten it you know a lot
00:00:44.480 of work to do still people will die but it does seem like we've gotten over the top of that so
00:00:50.080 it seems like we beat the third act the place where the hero of the movie has this impossible task
00:00:55.860 but here we are in the in the protests slash riots slash destroying retail everywhere
00:01:03.460 and you might say to yourself uh this looks worse no no no no in script writing terms after the third
00:01:13.320 act quite often there's that part where the terminator comes back to life for about a minute
00:01:19.480 and then the the hero has to kill the the bad guy one more time or he's already killed the top
00:01:26.680 henchman but the the top bad guy is still alive so it's very common that after the third act
00:01:34.420 there's another seemingly impossible problem to get solved now i told you before that uh i see the
00:01:43.300 protests as of course there's a combination of lots of social factors in history and all that
00:01:49.740 and there's a trigger specific trigger but i see it as an energy problem meaning that there's a whole
00:01:58.220 bunch of people who've been cooped up all winter cooped up for the coronavirus didn't get to exercise
00:02:04.740 often didn't get to work just too much energy and if caesar the dog walker taught us nothing
00:02:14.800 it's that you can't have a well-behaved uh dog unless you burn off his energy people are not that
00:02:24.780 different people are not that different i'm talking about all people so don't make it racial
00:02:30.440 all people all people human beings we if we have too much energy we can get in trouble
00:02:37.520 and when we've burned off our energy and we're ready to relax well we're easier to deal with
00:02:43.360 just like any other animal and we have a serious energy problem there's way too much energy now i think
00:02:52.580 this weekend may have burned off a little bit but we'll talk about that after the most important part
00:02:59.480 of the morning the simultaneous sip you don't need much to participate all you need is a cup or a
00:03:03.780 glass of tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite
00:03:09.100 liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the
00:03:15.880 day the thing that makes everything better including the coronavirus including the protests
00:03:23.100 it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go
00:03:26.700 yep temperatures falling as we speak
00:03:36.920 well here's my take on the whole ugly situation uh first of all the protests have reached my territory
00:03:47.040 so i'm no longer speaking hypothetically
00:03:50.640 the places where i planned to shop for my my summer shorts and such
00:03:58.440 don't exist anymore so that the stores that i would normally shop at just got destroyed last night
00:04:04.960 in walnut creek
00:04:06.540 now uh i hear the pleasanton stores were targeted
00:04:11.140 the mall were the one that's actually closest to me
00:04:14.360 but i haven't heard an update on that
00:04:16.520 now i did hear that there was a uh a protest scheduled for my town which is just walking distance
00:04:25.920 uh last night but i didn't hear any outcome from it because i didn't want to get too close to it
00:04:32.320 and when i heard it was being organized it was being organized as a peaceful protest
00:04:36.920 but aren't they all they're they're sort of all organized as peaceful protests they just
00:04:43.600 well i guess they're not all the antifa is not peaceful at all but at least the black lives matter part of it
00:04:50.140 is supposed to be peaceful
00:04:52.380 and when i saw somebody organizing one for my town yesterday
00:04:57.280 i had two very seriously different thoughts
00:05:02.320 one was well isn't it good that people want to
00:05:05.980 demonstrate in favor of you know equality and treating everybody well that part's good
00:05:11.300 it's good that people want to
00:05:13.460 demonstrate for those things
00:05:15.640 what i thought was amazingly stupid
00:05:19.680 was doing it now and in that way because it would invite trouble
00:05:24.560 and the downtown stores would be vulnerable
00:05:26.880 so i have to i have to be stark about this i don't want to leave any wiggle room or a gray area
00:05:35.960 so i'm going to say this as clearly as i possibly can
00:05:39.400 for the first several days this triggering event the the george floyd um killing
00:05:48.720 was so horrible that the nation needed to
00:05:53.520 do something needed to act needed to change needed to improve
00:05:58.080 needed to get it out of their system needed to scream
00:06:01.280 and so for a few days i was quite tolerant
00:06:05.580 with the fact that uh protests brought with them some violence
00:06:10.660 i was quite tolerant when we got a little caught off guard
00:06:15.380 and things got broken and destroyed
00:06:17.740 because i would say not everybody saw it coming
00:06:21.220 you didn't exactly know where it was going to go
00:06:23.560 the chief you know the top priority was keeping everybody physically safe
00:06:28.860 it was economically bad very bad for the store owners and such
00:06:34.240 but at least not too many people died
00:06:37.480 so so at least that was good
00:06:39.800 so i would say that for the first several days
00:06:42.400 and including the weekend
00:06:43.780 an argument could be made
00:06:46.340 that those protests if you will are legitimate
00:06:49.680 would you agree would you agree that protests
00:06:54.100 given the seriousness of the situation
00:06:57.180 and the trigger
00:06:58.480 demonstrations protests
00:07:01.720 completely legitimate
00:07:03.560 i think we'd all agree right
00:07:06.020 free speech people had something to say
00:07:09.140 that's what we do
00:07:10.860 it's america
00:07:11.800 you got something to say
00:07:13.640 it's important
00:07:15.100 free speech
00:07:16.520 go say it
00:07:17.340 all good
00:07:18.840 however
00:07:20.640 not everything that starts good
00:07:23.480 stays good
00:07:24.880 likewise
00:07:26.060 the i was quite in favor
00:07:28.360 initially
00:07:29.160 with the coronavirus
00:07:30.880 lockdown of the economy
00:07:32.800 i said to myself
00:07:34.360 a month
00:07:35.680 six weeks
00:07:36.940 probably more good than bad
00:07:39.140 worth a shot
00:07:40.240 two months
00:07:41.740 not not comfortable
00:07:44.220 but maybe still makes sense
00:07:46.340 but if you lock down long enough
00:07:49.200 it just turns bad
00:07:50.280 that's what we're seeing with the protests
00:07:52.960 they started out legitimate
00:07:54.980 and here's the weird thing
00:07:56.780 it started out with everyone on their side
00:07:58.780 generally the whole point of a protest
00:08:01.640 is that there's somebody on the other side of the argument
00:08:05.140 who is on the other side of the argument
00:08:08.260 nobody
00:08:10.400 nobody
00:08:11.720 so again
00:08:13.080 it made perfect sense
00:08:14.380 to express feelings
00:08:16.300 to
00:08:16.960 to get it out of our system
00:08:18.640 and
00:08:19.940 i'm even
00:08:21.300 a little bit forgiving
00:08:22.600 a little bit
00:08:23.640 a little bit forgiving
00:08:24.980 that there was damage and destruction that came with it
00:08:28.120 because there was a lot of anger
00:08:29.100 a lot of emotions
00:08:29.900 a lot of energy
00:08:30.760 can't control all of it
00:08:33.040 even if you tried
00:08:33.840 and in fact controlling it might have made things worse
00:08:36.260 so
00:08:37.500 i don't
00:08:38.720 i
00:08:39.560 i would say
00:08:40.400 i'm willing to
00:08:41.820 sort of in a
00:08:43.260 in a mental social way
00:08:45.060 to offer a pass
00:08:47.560 to everybody who's been involved
00:08:50.460 with good intentions
00:08:52.080 because the people with good intentions
00:08:54.400 created a situation where very bad things happened
00:08:58.780 but i don't think you can completely blame them
00:09:01.400 because the people with good intentions
00:09:03.540 have the right of free speech
00:09:05.340 they have a right to be mad
00:09:07.580 certainly have a right to be mad
00:09:09.260 they
00:09:10.700 they were free people
00:09:12.140 they get to
00:09:12.940 to say what they
00:09:14.400 need to say
00:09:15.400 and get it out of their system
00:09:16.880 and
00:09:17.220 and be heard
00:09:18.360 all good
00:09:19.420 but now it's monday
00:09:22.220 now it's monday
00:09:24.460 now it's monday
00:09:27.060 monday is time to get back to work
00:09:30.720 if people
00:09:32.840 were on different sides of this
00:09:35.320 i would even say
00:09:37.980 all right
00:09:38.620 keep demonstrating
00:09:39.700 even
00:09:40.460 even at the high cost that we're seeing
00:09:42.640 if people still disagreed
00:09:44.920 and there was still this
00:09:46.480 any resistance to making things better
00:09:49.580 fairer
00:09:50.420 just better for everybody
00:09:51.920 if there were any resistance to it
00:09:53.680 more protests make sense
00:09:56.760 but there's not
00:09:58.780 there just isn't
00:10:01.360 this
00:10:02.680 you know
00:10:03.560 you had us at hello
00:10:04.680 meaning
00:10:05.980 everybody that
00:10:07.220 black lives matter
00:10:08.300 feels that they would like to persuade to their side
00:10:11.080 we started there
00:10:13.320 meaning that we all watched the george floyd
00:10:15.980 video
00:10:16.960 we watched it too
00:10:18.760 and you watch that thing
00:10:21.440 and you take sides with black lives matter
00:10:23.720 on this issue anyway
00:10:24.800 right away
00:10:26.000 right away
00:10:27.600 you take
00:10:28.020 you take sides with them
00:10:29.100 they had us at hello
00:10:31.760 now they've lost us
00:10:34.360 so i would say that i personally have felt a great turn
00:10:39.560 in my attitude toward really everything
00:10:42.880 i would say that i've turned from completely productive
00:10:46.580 meaning if i can help
00:10:48.720 i would certainly like to
00:10:50.020 to more along the lines of
00:10:52.780 i think i need to just get out and dodge
00:10:54.560 because i don't think this can be fixed
00:10:56.480 meaning that distance
00:10:58.280 looks like the only thing that i can do for myself
00:11:00.860 so i would look to get distance
00:11:03.400 from any urban center
00:11:05.140 you know i have distance
00:11:06.460 so i so i was safe so far
00:11:08.080 but certainly i would look to maintain that
00:11:11.480 um
00:11:12.560 i think cities may be dead
00:11:14.340 you know other people are saying the same thing
00:11:16.960 but it's not because of this specifically
00:11:19.340 i think there are a number of forces from
00:11:21.980 you know coronavirus
00:11:23.520 to traffic
00:11:25.020 to
00:11:25.680 lifestyle
00:11:27.380 and pollution
00:11:28.760 and you name it
00:11:29.920 i think cities
00:11:31.280 maybe have run their course
00:11:33.800 i don't know that they make sense anymore
00:11:35.700 you know they made sense
00:11:37.160 in a different different economic time
00:11:39.440 but i don't think they make sense anymore
00:11:41.680 they seem too dangerous
00:11:43.260 and i think that they will peter out
00:11:45.960 or become completely segregated
00:11:50.520 i suppose that's possible too
00:11:51.840 so here's my take on black lives matter
00:11:57.080 just to
00:11:57.840 complete the thought
00:12:00.840 black lives matter
00:12:02.880 as a
00:12:04.380 as a concept
00:12:05.440 all good
00:12:07.280 as a concept
00:12:09.520 as an idea
00:12:10.340 as a
00:12:11.620 as a
00:12:12.220 as a notion
00:12:13.900 that
00:12:14.620 you know we should all want to agree on
00:12:17.440 all good
00:12:18.100 protest for several days
00:12:20.960 even
00:12:22.320 even with
00:12:23.220 even with the damage
00:12:24.900 i'm going to say
00:12:26.600 you know
00:12:27.080 not ideal
00:12:28.480 nobody wants damage
00:12:30.300 nobody wants anybody to get hurt
00:12:31.720 but
00:12:32.720 the enormity of the
00:12:34.940 trigger
00:12:35.980 the enormity of the situation
00:12:38.480 i i think it deserved a big response
00:12:41.940 now it's happened
00:12:43.720 but now we know what happens
00:12:45.800 when we have more protests
00:12:47.500 and we know that they don't move the needle
00:12:49.780 except in the wrong direction
00:12:51.500 from this point on
00:12:54.140 black lives matter
00:12:56.000 organizers
00:12:56.620 if you organize another protest
00:12:59.460 peacefully
00:13:00.980 you have to know
00:13:03.300 that it will be worse for your cause
00:13:06.400 because you will be thought of much worse
00:13:08.480 i'm speaking for myself
00:13:11.020 but i assume a lot of people would feel similar
00:13:13.800 i don't like to put thoughts into other people's heads
00:13:16.020 but i know my own reaction toward black lives matter
00:13:19.400 turned this weekend
00:13:21.740 so i'm sort of sitting on the fence
00:13:24.280 waiting to see what happens
00:13:25.520 if
00:13:26.660 things calm down
00:13:28.500 and black lives matter
00:13:29.700 takes it to the
00:13:31.360 the useful
00:13:32.460 field of
00:13:34.200 here's some ideas
00:13:35.140 this is what we can do
00:13:36.400 can we be
00:13:37.520 can we meet with you mr president
00:13:39.260 can we meet with the governor
00:13:40.640 we got some ideas
00:13:41.860 are you open to it
00:13:43.380 yes
00:13:43.740 yes
00:13:44.500 absolutely open to it
00:13:45.920 and if that's the way black lives
00:13:47.580 matter
00:13:48.800 goes
00:13:49.460 i'm going to say
00:13:50.800 you know
00:13:51.180 i'm just
00:13:53.060 i'm just going to let the past be the past
00:13:55.060 try to
00:13:55.720 try to sweep up
00:13:57.020 try to clean up
00:13:58.000 just try to move forward
00:13:59.620 but
00:14:01.200 if black lives matter
00:14:03.440 organizes
00:14:04.720 new events
00:14:06.980 after we've all agreed
00:14:09.480 and knowing that it will attract
00:14:12.040 antifa
00:14:12.660 and looters
00:14:13.840 then i would think that anybody who participates in that
00:14:17.160 would have to be considered domestic terrorists along with antifa
00:14:22.000 because i don't think you could
00:14:24.400 there's no rational
00:14:26.200 uh... way you could understand the continued protests
00:14:30.660 again
00:14:31.240 completely validating the protests that have happened so far
00:14:35.040 even with the damage
00:14:36.760 but if you keep going
00:14:39.360 it's taking a good thing too far
00:14:42.160 and i think
00:14:43.400 that america will just treat you
00:14:45.300 at least
00:14:46.120 mentally
00:14:46.880 as domestic terrorists
00:14:49.060 at least i would
00:14:50.100 so i would say anybody who's
00:14:51.620 who's demonstrating
00:14:53.020 after
00:14:53.720 tonight
00:14:54.420 i mean
00:14:55.120 tonight and forward
00:14:56.140 any further
00:14:57.400 demonstrations
00:14:58.200 i would just personally see as
00:15:01.340 domestic terror
00:15:02.500 because there's no other way it's going to go
00:15:04.780 if you know how it's going to turn out
00:15:07.100 it's domestic terrorism
00:15:08.860 if you didn't know
00:15:10.620 or
00:15:11.500 or you really were concerned about something else and it just happened
00:15:14.520 that's just bad
00:15:16.680 that's just a bad situation
00:15:18.420 but now it would be intentional
00:15:20.740 so
00:15:22.180 so we don't have to guess what happens if we do this again tonight
00:15:25.420 so i think
00:15:27.200 um
00:15:27.780 i read an article
00:15:29.240 uh let's see
00:15:30.540 it was andrew mccarthy
00:15:31.620 was saying that
00:15:32.940 talking about the president designated
00:15:34.780 designating antifa
00:15:36.500 and by the way
00:15:37.560 i didn't see in the comments
00:15:39.060 but i know that somebody is going to say
00:15:40.900 scott scott scott
00:15:42.480 the troublemakers are not black lives matter
00:15:44.640 you know i'm not saying that right
00:15:47.300 i'm not saying black lives matter
00:15:49.700 is causing the
00:15:51.600 that
00:15:51.900 they are doing the looting
00:15:53.740 i'm not saying black lives matter
00:15:56.280 the organizers anyway
00:15:57.360 i'm not saying they are antifa
00:15:59.320 i'm saying if they do another event
00:16:01.980 they're inviting those forces
00:16:03.520 so we can no longer separate them
00:16:05.960 going forward
00:16:06.740 but in the past
00:16:08.900 sure
00:16:09.320 so andrew mccarthy said that the president
00:16:12.360 uh designating
00:16:14.040 antifa
00:16:15.060 as a domestic terror organization
00:16:17.400 is meaningless
00:16:18.980 or pointless
00:16:21.220 he says
00:16:21.700 he says the purported designation
00:16:23.240 would be pointless
00:16:24.200 because we already have all the laws we need
00:16:27.240 we don't need any extra designation
00:16:29.480 to have all the power we need
00:16:31.520 to fight antifa
00:16:32.660 i completely disagree with andrew mccarthy
00:16:35.820 on this
00:16:36.320 except that i of course agree with him
00:16:38.740 on the legal point he's making
00:16:40.320 legally i would
00:16:42.020 i have no reason to disagree
00:16:43.820 because he has more
00:16:45.060 you know more understanding of this field
00:16:46.900 of course
00:16:47.440 so
00:16:48.820 here's why i disagree
00:16:51.020 there's a big difference
00:16:53.400 between saying that something
00:16:55.440 is sort of ongoing
00:16:56.780 police
00:16:57.820 concern
00:16:59.000 versus a domestic terrorist organization
00:17:02.480 the fact that it doesn't trigger
00:17:04.660 any special laws
00:17:06.260 you know that's interesting
00:17:09.040 but i don't think that's the point of it
00:17:11.500 the point of it
00:17:12.820 is to shame
00:17:14.480 antifa
00:17:16.160 and of existence
00:17:17.140 the point of the designation
00:17:19.120 is persuasion
00:17:20.520 if it also somehow turned into
00:17:23.460 you know you could make some special rules
00:17:25.760 because of it
00:17:26.500 well i suppose that might be a bonus
00:17:28.580 but this is about
00:17:30.280 hey mom and dad
00:17:32.420 you know your kid in the basement
00:17:34.860 remember your kid in the basement
00:17:37.420 said he was getting involved with antifa
00:17:39.640 and you thought
00:17:41.100 well they don't have any special goals
00:17:43.260 and it's just a youthful thing
00:17:45.660 and
00:17:46.080 blah blah blah
00:17:47.800 but how does mom and dad feel
00:17:49.960 if they are harboring a terrorist
00:17:51.920 right
00:17:53.760 you see it now right
00:17:55.120 if you're living at home with your parents
00:17:57.840 and honestly
00:17:58.680 i don't know how antifa feeds itself
00:18:00.660 like actually literally
00:18:02.640 that's a serious question
00:18:03.820 i don't know
00:18:04.480 are they all being fed by other people
00:18:07.080 because they couldn't possibly have jobs
00:18:10.180 because
00:18:11.240 and i'm not saying that as a joke
00:18:13.160 i'm saying that it seems like it would be inconsistent
00:18:16.440 with their philosophy to have a job
00:18:18.200 because they'd be working for some big fascist corporation
00:18:21.500 or something
00:18:22.100 so that's an actual serious question
00:18:24.680 and i've
00:18:25.220 i would love to know
00:18:26.640 how do they eat
00:18:28.060 so if you've got a group of people
00:18:30.400 who need jobs
00:18:31.620 and they need a place to live
00:18:34.120 what do you think
00:18:36.260 that being
00:18:36.620 designated as a terrorist
00:18:39.420 a terrorist
00:18:41.060 what do you think that does
00:18:43.060 to your job prospects
00:18:44.300 what do you think that does
00:18:46.240 to your college application
00:18:47.620 and what do you think that does
00:18:49.560 to mom and dad
00:18:50.580 who now are harboring a terrorist
00:18:53.920 harboring a terrorist
00:18:56.220 in their house
00:18:57.980 do you think that changes the dynamic
00:19:01.280 mom and dad
00:19:02.640 it's not just fun anymore
00:19:03.960 now you're harboring a terrorist
00:19:06.380 in your house
00:19:08.200 okay
00:19:09.980 so
00:19:10.560 andrew mccarthy
00:19:11.480 i could not disagree
00:19:13.120 in stronger terms
00:19:15.140 but i do agree with you
00:19:16.160 on the legal technicalities
00:19:18.220 it doesn't create any
00:19:19.300 new powers
00:19:20.340 or new laws
00:19:21.120 i mean i don't have any
00:19:22.780 knowledge of that field
00:19:24.240 i'll just assume that
00:19:25.400 that andrew mccarthy is right
00:19:27.080 because he's smart
00:19:28.360 and he's right about this stuff
00:19:29.560 generally speaking
00:19:30.440 but man
00:19:32.180 the president is right on
00:19:34.300 with this
00:19:34.660 he's right on
00:19:35.600 on point with that
00:19:37.040 speaking of the president
00:19:38.620 has anybody seen him
00:19:39.560 trump is still president right
00:19:42.860 right
00:19:44.120 we still have a president
00:19:46.080 because
00:19:47.560 it looked to me like the country
00:19:49.600 was on fire last night
00:19:51.060 and
00:19:51.300 don't remember seeing the president
00:19:53.440 anybody see the president
00:19:55.400 are you happy about that
00:19:57.980 are you happy about the president
00:20:00.420 some of you voted for
00:20:01.760 and you didn't see him during
00:20:04.060 the time when the country was on fire
00:20:06.400 because
00:20:07.660 tweets not enough sometimes
00:20:09.500 well here's my take on that
00:20:12.060 i don't know
00:20:14.900 that trump
00:20:16.480 is making a strategic mistake
00:20:18.840 i do know
00:20:20.200 that the public
00:20:21.260 would like him to step up
00:20:23.540 and do more
00:20:24.060 and fix it
00:20:24.920 you know
00:20:25.600 and be sort of magic
00:20:26.760 use your magic
00:20:28.280 and go fix it
00:20:29.260 but it's possible
00:20:31.000 that there's no play here
00:20:32.640 meaning that there isn't anything
00:20:34.400 he can do
00:20:34.920 and anything he does
00:20:36.300 makes it worse
00:20:37.040 for example
00:20:38.720 if trump
00:20:40.100 went in public
00:20:41.860 and said
00:20:42.420 all right
00:20:42.760 i'm going to give this
00:20:43.520 this speech
00:20:45.300 to bring us all together
00:20:46.480 how would that go
00:20:48.240 if trump
00:20:49.660 gave a speech
00:20:50.500 to bring us all together
00:20:51.920 what would be the outcome
00:20:53.600 of a really well-written speech
00:20:56.040 designed to bring us together
00:20:58.100 you know what would happen
00:21:00.060 right
00:21:00.420 yeah
00:21:01.400 you know what would happen
00:21:02.480 cnn would fine people him again
00:21:04.900 they would fine people him
00:21:06.620 they would find some word he used
00:21:09.000 that suggests he was really looking
00:21:11.760 he was looking out for white supremacists
00:21:14.280 you know that would happen
00:21:16.100 anything he says on this
00:21:18.140 is going to be turned into a fine people hoax
00:21:20.940 part two
00:21:22.120 so
00:21:25.140 that doesn't mean
00:21:26.960 he gets to not do his job
00:21:28.960 just to be clear
00:21:30.200 just because there's no way it will work
00:21:33.260 doesn't mean he shouldn't do it
00:21:35.880 it's the weirdest thing
00:21:37.760 it's like the protests
00:21:38.780 the protesters
00:21:40.000 on some level
00:21:41.280 probably knew
00:21:42.200 it was going to make things worse
00:21:43.660 but they just had to do it anyway
00:21:45.860 you know the energy was too great
00:21:47.700 i assume that most of the protesters
00:21:50.400 at least suspected
00:21:51.720 it would only make things worse
00:21:53.860 and they were still okay with it
00:21:55.780 because of the energy
00:21:56.920 the
00:21:57.800 the president
00:21:59.680 if he gives a speech
00:22:01.180 no matter how well written
00:22:02.640 no matter how well delivered
00:22:05.180 no matter how sincere
00:22:07.420 will almost certainly work against him
00:22:10.260 don't you agree
00:22:12.180 because they're just going to twist his words
00:22:14.480 into exactly the opposite of what he says
00:22:16.860 they will report it non-stop
00:22:19.240 the people who read the news
00:22:21.440 are reading that news
00:22:22.540 they're not going to read Fox News
00:22:24.080 saying
00:22:24.460 oh they took that all out of context
00:22:26.160 they're not going to see that
00:22:27.900 so
00:22:29.240 if
00:22:30.320 if he talks in public
00:22:31.640 it will make everything worse
00:22:33.280 because of the illegitimate press
00:22:35.220 and he still has to do it
00:22:37.460 is that a fucked up situation or what
00:22:40.680 he still has to do it
00:22:43.080 he still has to do it
00:22:45.040 it's going to make it worse
00:22:47.920 still has to do it
00:22:51.220 somebody says he just gave the speech at NASA
00:22:54.220 how'd that go
00:22:56.920 somebody says he spoke Saturday
00:22:59.760 well you know he hasn't spoken
00:23:01.840 at night when the riots are raging
00:23:04.660 some people think that that would be important
00:23:06.620 I doubt it
00:23:08.960 here's the only thing that Trump can do
00:23:13.040 that will work
00:23:13.860 will he be clever enough to do this
00:23:17.180 well let's put it this way
00:23:19.520 so here's the fun
00:23:21.060 are you ready
00:23:21.580 here's the fun
00:23:23.180 the fun is that
00:23:25.440 I think you probably all know by now
00:23:28.180 that there are enough people watching my Periscope
00:23:30.520 that if any good suggestions came out of it
00:23:33.380 they would get to at least
00:23:34.840 White House staff
00:23:36.880 so any good ideas we collectively come up with here
00:23:40.860 they actually get heard
00:23:42.260 believe it or not
00:23:43.420 it's very consistently
00:23:44.480 you know you can track this over time
00:23:46.580 that the White House
00:23:48.380 I would say one of its best qualities
00:23:50.580 that is completely underrated
00:23:52.860 completely underrated
00:23:54.300 this White House is really good
00:23:57.280 at keeping its ear to the ground
00:23:59.440 you're reading the room
00:24:00.900 and feeling social media's pulse
00:24:04.940 they're really good at it
00:24:07.200 so
00:24:08.320 not only
00:24:09.580 does the White House
00:24:10.920 monitor what's said
00:24:12.260 in the New York Times
00:24:13.160 and CNN
00:24:13.740 and Fox News
00:24:14.780 and everyone else
00:24:15.460 they're monitoring also
00:24:17.100 you know
00:24:18.220 I would say
00:24:19.000 influencers
00:24:19.580 you could pretty much guarantee
00:24:23.120 that if
00:24:24.800 Mike Cernovich
00:24:26.040 or Jack Posobiec
00:24:27.480 said something
00:24:28.300 that was really useful
00:24:29.380 on social media
00:24:30.340 like an idea
00:24:31.560 or a way of looking
00:24:32.380 or something
00:24:32.820 the White House hears that
00:24:34.420 they actually do watch
00:24:36.220 they watch the larger accounts
00:24:38.640 that are influential
00:24:39.760 so
00:24:40.940 what I'm going to say next
00:24:42.740 I want to promise you
00:24:44.760 it's guaranteed
00:24:46.260 to reach the White House
00:24:47.520 it's guaranteed
00:24:48.720 because they do
00:24:50.040 they do such a good job
00:24:51.240 of watching
00:24:51.700 for ideas
00:24:53.120 and here's the idea
00:24:55.060 the next thing
00:24:57.040 the president should do
00:24:58.100 is be a call
00:24:59.040 for specific solutions
00:25:00.380 he should keep it simple
00:25:05.060 and say
00:25:06.140 what's happening
00:25:06.760 is terrible
00:25:07.340 you know
00:25:08.800 we can't have it
00:25:09.660 what happened
00:25:11.200 to George Floyd
00:25:12.420 is terrible
00:25:13.360 we can't have it
00:25:15.080 bring me solutions
00:25:17.020 I'm going to have
00:25:18.420 a committee
00:25:19.220 I'm going to have
00:25:19.800 a meeting
00:25:20.220 I'm going to have
00:25:20.660 a round table
00:25:21.260 we're going to look
00:25:22.360 at the top five solutions
00:25:23.800 and we're going to see
00:25:25.000 what we can do
00:25:25.660 maybe we can try them
00:25:27.340 in a few places
00:25:28.040 if they need federal funding
00:25:29.880 in order to try them
00:25:30.880 such as
00:25:31.480 let's say
00:25:31.820 buying more body cams
00:25:33.140 or whatever
00:25:33.460 we'll look into it
00:25:34.840 if the president says
00:25:37.280 we're going to move
00:25:38.660 to solutions now
00:25:40.160 let's hear your solutions
00:25:42.100 let's talk about it
00:25:43.300 he's re-elected
00:25:46.300 I'll put it in
00:25:48.640 the most
00:25:49.060 cleanest terms
00:25:51.220 you can put it in
00:25:52.020 if the president says
00:25:53.740 I totally hear you
00:25:55.300 I've been on your side
00:25:56.280 since I saw the video
00:25:57.420 no question about it
00:25:58.960 bring me solutions
00:26:00.200 that's all I want
00:26:02.020 to talk about
00:26:02.600 we can talk about
00:26:04.100 how bad it was
00:26:04.820 we can talk about
00:26:05.520 the tragedy
00:26:06.100 but understand
00:26:06.880 we're all on the same side
00:26:08.020 there's nobody left
00:26:09.340 to convince
00:26:10.020 there's nobody left
00:26:11.460 to persuade
00:26:12.040 we're in
00:26:13.300 we're in the action part
00:26:15.000 this is the action part
00:26:16.720 tell me what I need to do
00:26:18.820 now of course
00:26:20.000 part of the problem
00:26:20.640 is that
00:26:20.940 what the protesters want
00:26:22.620 is for the other
00:26:24.000 three policemen
00:26:25.160 to be arrested
00:26:26.180 and charged
00:26:26.920 wouldn't you say
00:26:28.380 probably nothing
00:26:29.480 short of that
00:26:30.180 is going to make
00:26:30.700 a difference
00:26:31.220 to the heat
00:26:32.800 of the moment
00:26:33.360 but do the protesters
00:26:35.520 really want
00:26:37.200 them to be arrested
00:26:38.880 when there's no case
00:26:40.160 that can be made
00:26:41.140 my assumption is
00:26:43.480 that the reason
00:26:44.140 that the three officers
00:26:45.140 are not arrested
00:26:46.100 yet
00:26:46.600 could still happen
00:26:48.100 because the feds
00:26:48.960 are there
00:26:49.260 but if the reason
00:26:50.780 that they're not
00:26:51.380 arrested yet
00:26:52.600 is because
00:26:54.180 there's no case
00:26:55.140 we kind of need
00:26:57.080 to hear that
00:26:57.920 and we need
00:26:59.340 to hear the
00:26:59.980 the legal argument
00:27:01.200 that says
00:27:01.820 look we don't think
00:27:03.340 they're angels
00:27:03.900 we don't think
00:27:04.640 they're innocent
00:27:05.400 per se
00:27:06.000 but there's nothing
00:27:07.540 there that would
00:27:08.140 allow us to convict
00:27:09.140 them
00:27:09.440 do
00:27:10.820 does the black
00:27:12.920 public
00:27:13.560 does black lives
00:27:14.920 matter
00:27:15.280 want to convict
00:27:17.180 three people
00:27:18.060 on sketchy evidence
00:27:19.620 that would
00:27:20.680 let me not call
00:27:22.380 it sketchy
00:27:22.960 let's say that
00:27:24.100 there would be
00:27:25.460 enough ambiguity
00:27:26.560 with the other
00:27:27.480 three officers
00:27:28.400 because you couldn't
00:27:30.500 exactly see
00:27:31.200 what they were
00:27:31.600 doing on camera
00:27:32.460 if one guy
00:27:33.880 was just standing
00:27:34.720 there and wasn't
00:27:35.620 paying attention
00:27:36.480 and the other
00:27:37.020 was holding
00:27:37.460 the guy's legs
00:27:38.340 it's not entirely
00:27:39.580 clear what they
00:27:40.440 knew and when
00:27:41.240 so there's
00:27:43.200 probably no case
00:27:44.080 because remember
00:27:45.600 you need to get
00:27:46.680 to beyond
00:27:47.400 a reasonable doubt
00:27:48.460 can you tell me
00:27:50.600 that the guy
00:27:51.580 holding
00:27:52.100 George Floyd's
00:27:55.200 feet
00:27:55.620 the guy
00:27:56.360 holding his feet
00:27:57.320 can you tell me
00:27:58.780 that without
00:27:59.340 that with
00:28:00.400 without a reasonable
00:28:02.400 doubt
00:28:02.880 you think he was
00:28:04.140 a murder
00:28:04.500 or were involved
00:28:06.260 in something
00:28:06.760 that would be a crime
00:28:07.880 with whatever word
00:28:08.900 you want to put on it
00:28:09.740 can you tell me
00:28:10.620 without a reasonable
00:28:11.440 doubt
00:28:11.860 that the guy
00:28:13.000 holding the feet
00:28:13.980 committed a crime
00:28:15.480 you feel it
00:28:19.020 right
00:28:19.900 you might feel it
00:28:20.940 it feels like
00:28:22.500 a crime
00:28:22.960 maybe
00:28:23.320 but I don't know
00:28:24.780 how you're ever
00:28:25.200 going to get
00:28:25.560 a conviction
00:28:26.320 on the foot guy
00:28:27.160 I don't know
00:28:28.400 how you're going
00:28:28.780 to get a conviction
00:28:29.540 on the guy
00:28:30.060 who was just
00:28:30.460 standing there
00:28:30.960 watching the crowd
00:28:31.820 he literally
00:28:32.800 wasn't even
00:28:33.320 facing the action
00:28:34.360 as it was
00:28:34.780 happening
00:28:35.140 and people
00:28:37.580 who are under
00:28:38.140 police custody
00:28:39.000 do yell
00:28:39.720 about their
00:28:41.100 health
00:28:41.520 routinely
00:28:42.480 so they're
00:28:43.480 kind of used
00:28:43.940 to hearing it
00:28:44.440 I think
00:28:44.800 I don't know
00:28:48.080 so I think
00:28:49.700 Trump has
00:28:50.180 one play
00:28:50.940 and it's
00:28:51.500 to go
00:28:51.860 as solutions
00:28:52.780 if he doesn't
00:28:53.960 go as solutions
00:28:54.760 I mean
00:28:55.240 ideally
00:28:55.660 I'd like to
00:28:57.020 see him come
00:28:57.500 with one
00:28:58.040 specific solution
00:28:59.060 and then
00:28:59.560 ask for more
00:29:00.520 like a
00:29:01.540 like a
00:29:02.780 home run
00:29:03.360 play
00:29:03.700 would look
00:29:04.100 like this
00:29:04.680 look
00:29:05.480 here's the deal
00:29:06.080 I'm going
00:29:06.520 to fund
00:29:06.840 body cams
00:29:07.620 for every
00:29:08.040 freaking
00:29:08.400 cop in the
00:29:09.560 country
00:29:09.880 period
00:29:10.380 nobody's
00:29:11.780 going to
00:29:11.980 tell me
00:29:12.260 they don't
00:29:12.520 have money
00:29:13.020 for body
00:29:13.820 cams
00:29:14.280 you're all
00:29:15.020 getting body
00:29:15.520 cams
00:29:16.140 now body
00:29:16.860 cams
00:29:17.160 doesn't solve
00:29:17.640 the whole
00:29:17.920 problem
00:29:18.340 right
00:29:18.600 doesn't
00:29:20.020 come close
00:29:20.700 but it
00:29:21.960 but it
00:29:22.380 would show
00:29:22.800 action
00:29:23.380 it would
00:29:24.580 show
00:29:25.080 it would
00:29:26.860 show
00:29:27.040 clarity
00:29:27.600 there'd be
00:29:28.300 no doubt
00:29:28.920 that somebody
00:29:29.840 wants to
00:29:30.320 fix this
00:29:30.820 because it's
00:29:31.180 real money
00:29:31.620 real action
00:29:32.180 and then
00:29:33.900 he could
00:29:34.160 say look
00:29:34.660 this is
00:29:35.100 one thing
00:29:35.500 we can
00:29:35.820 do
00:29:36.140 give me
00:29:36.880 some other
00:29:37.240 things we
00:29:37.660 can do
00:29:38.100 like actual
00:29:39.160 practical
00:29:39.660 things
00:29:40.180 give us
00:29:40.620 some stuff
00:29:41.100 if the
00:29:42.940 president
00:29:43.240 does that
00:29:43.760 he wins
00:29:44.360 and I
00:29:45.560 think he's
00:29:45.940 got to
00:29:46.160 make the
00:29:46.500 same case
00:29:47.020 that I
00:29:47.360 did
00:29:47.640 that the
00:29:50.620 protests
00:29:51.140 have been
00:29:51.520 completely
00:29:52.080 legitimate
00:29:52.660 even with
00:29:53.320 the damage
00:29:53.800 but now
00:29:55.300 they're not
00:29:55.900 because the
00:29:57.140 message is
00:29:57.660 received
00:29:58.160 the day the
00:29:59.480 president says
00:30:00.320 the message
00:30:01.080 is received
00:30:01.880 that's the
00:30:03.280 day the
00:30:04.860 protesters need
00:30:05.640 to stop
00:30:06.200 message has
00:30:08.440 been received
00:30:09.200 protests
00:30:10.480 have to
00:30:10.860 stop
00:30:11.260 anyway if
00:30:13.960 he pulls
00:30:14.320 that off
00:30:14.820 it would
00:30:15.440 be great
00:30:16.240 but we
00:30:16.780 do have
00:30:17.120 to wonder
00:30:17.420 where he's
00:30:17.840 been
00:30:18.040 now if
00:30:19.060 you're
00:30:19.240 going to
00:30:19.560 actually
00:30:19.920 question the
00:30:20.660 president's
00:30:21.260 strategy
00:30:21.940 let me
00:30:23.060 ask you
00:30:23.420 this
00:30:23.760 how is
00:30:25.040 hiding
00:30:25.500 done for
00:30:26.160 Joe Biden
00:30:26.860 Joe Biden
00:30:29.020 has done
00:30:30.960 well
00:30:31.480 by hiding
00:30:33.740 right
00:30:35.940 Joe Biden's
00:30:38.100 poll numbers
00:30:39.100 are probably
00:30:40.000 better because
00:30:40.720 he's been
00:30:41.220 invisible
00:30:41.900 I'm not
00:30:44.260 sure that
00:30:44.880 wouldn't be
00:30:45.300 the same
00:30:45.700 for Trump
00:30:46.280 you might
00:30:47.680 find
00:30:48.320 you might
00:30:49.820 find that
00:30:50.300 the less
00:30:50.720 he does
00:30:51.200 in this
00:30:51.740 situation
00:30:52.280 might help
00:30:53.920 him
00:30:54.120 because he's
00:30:55.620 the law
00:30:55.940 and order
00:30:56.240 president
00:30:56.740 even if
00:30:57.280 he's sort
00:30:57.720 of invisible
00:30:58.240 at the
00:30:58.680 moment
00:30:59.040 and people
00:30:59.940 are going
00:31:00.180 to say
00:31:00.400 to themselves
00:31:00.960 all right
00:31:02.340 I'm watching
00:31:02.820 a riot on
00:31:03.480 TV every
00:31:04.040 day
00:31:04.300 who do
00:31:05.080 you want
00:31:05.360 to be
00:31:05.580 president
00:31:05.980 the law
00:31:06.760 and order
00:31:07.120 person
00:31:07.540 or the
00:31:07.880 non-law
00:31:08.360 and order
00:31:08.680 person
00:31:09.100 all right
00:31:11.720 here's my
00:31:15.340 strategic
00:31:17.680 suggestion
00:31:18.540 to the
00:31:19.920 black
00:31:20.580 community
00:31:21.200 and let
00:31:22.680 me frame
00:31:23.040 this again
00:31:23.460 as I have
00:31:23.920 before
00:31:24.240 if you're
00:31:25.220 trying to
00:31:25.680 persuade
00:31:26.760 yourself
00:31:27.640 or people
00:31:28.960 who are
00:31:29.320 just like
00:31:29.960 you in
00:31:30.400 some
00:31:30.720 important
00:31:31.240 way
00:31:31.540 you would
00:31:32.500 use one
00:31:32.940 form of
00:31:33.440 persuasion
00:31:33.940 which is
00:31:34.520 sort of
00:31:35.300 the language
00:31:36.140 if you
00:31:36.660 will
00:31:36.980 the emotional
00:31:38.700 state if you
00:31:39.960 will of the
00:31:40.520 people you're
00:31:40.960 persuading
00:31:41.420 but since the
00:31:43.100 point is not
00:31:43.980 for black
00:31:44.600 people to
00:31:45.300 persuade other
00:31:46.220 black people
00:31:46.940 that there's
00:31:47.980 police brutality
00:31:49.540 that needs to
00:31:50.200 be addressed
00:31:50.780 they're already
00:31:52.040 on that
00:31:52.480 they need to
00:31:53.980 persuade other
00:31:55.320 people
00:31:55.660 they need to
00:31:57.540 persuade white
00:31:59.400 people and
00:32:00.640 everybody else
00:32:01.480 so if you're
00:32:02.900 going to persuade
00:32:03.280 other people
00:32:03.780 you need to
00:32:04.260 know how
00:32:04.940 to speak
00:32:05.340 in their
00:32:05.700 language
00:32:06.360 and I
00:32:07.640 want to
00:32:07.940 give
00:32:08.240 and by the
00:32:10.320 way I'm
00:32:10.660 being completely
00:32:11.240 serious here
00:32:12.020 in case you
00:32:13.540 think this is
00:32:14.040 some tongue
00:32:14.480 in cheek
00:32:14.780 thing this
00:32:15.240 is not
00:32:15.720 completely
00:32:16.560 serious
00:32:17.220 strategy
00:32:18.640 suggestion
00:32:19.280 and the
00:32:20.320 strategy hinges
00:32:21.200 on an
00:32:21.760 understanding
00:32:22.460 of who
00:32:23.060 you're
00:32:23.240 trying to
00:32:23.700 persuade
00:32:24.060 understand
00:32:25.720 this
00:32:26.360 if you
00:32:27.560 protest
00:32:28.100 tonight
00:32:28.540 you're
00:32:28.860 persuading
00:32:29.280 in the
00:32:29.600 wrong
00:32:29.780 direction
00:32:30.240 okay
00:32:31.300 every
00:32:32.200 protest
00:32:33.120 after
00:32:33.720 last
00:32:34.460 night
00:32:34.840 is worse
00:32:36.460 for the
00:32:36.820 black
00:32:37.060 community
00:32:37.540 period
00:32:38.000 no matter
00:32:39.300 if it was
00:32:39.760 organized
00:32:40.120 with good
00:32:40.740 intentions
00:32:41.220 or not
00:32:41.660 it doesn't
00:32:41.940 matter
00:32:42.160 at this
00:32:43.500 point
00:32:43.720 it's just
00:32:44.040 all bad
00:32:44.520 because it's
00:32:45.380 going to be
00:32:45.700 producing bad
00:32:46.360 visuals
00:32:46.780 of you know
00:32:48.780 bad things
00:32:49.520 so here's
00:32:52.640 my advice
00:32:53.420 you want to
00:32:54.640 use the
00:32:55.140 right tool
00:32:55.700 for the
00:32:56.100 job
00:32:56.560 and when
00:32:57.840 race relations
00:32:59.600 were the
00:33:00.080 worst
00:33:00.520 let's say
00:33:01.280 during slavery
00:33:02.140 that had to
00:33:03.460 be the
00:33:03.680 worst
00:33:04.000 then the
00:33:05.280 right tool
00:33:05.840 for the
00:33:06.140 job
00:33:06.440 might be
00:33:07.340 a revolution
00:33:08.600 violence
00:33:09.980 because it's
00:33:11.260 a big
00:33:11.880 problem
00:33:12.320 you've got to
00:33:12.820 use the
00:33:13.180 biggest tool
00:33:14.000 and that
00:33:14.440 might be
00:33:14.760 a revolution
00:33:15.400 a civil
00:33:15.960 war
00:33:16.280 not a
00:33:17.420 revolution
00:33:17.780 a civil
00:33:18.200 war
00:33:18.460 and you
00:33:20.640 know
00:33:20.760 once you
00:33:21.080 get past
00:33:21.540 that
00:33:22.000 and you
00:33:22.580 still have
00:33:22.980 tons of
00:33:23.520 inequality
00:33:24.060 in your
00:33:24.620 civilization
00:33:25.220 well then
00:33:26.140 maybe it
00:33:26.540 needs to
00:33:26.820 go to
00:33:27.000 the court
00:33:27.340 system
00:33:27.800 and then
00:33:28.320 civil rights
00:33:29.360 maybe you
00:33:29.820 do some
00:33:30.120 marching
00:33:30.480 so the
00:33:31.620 civil rights
00:33:32.180 movement
00:33:32.500 was the
00:33:33.020 next
00:33:33.360 you know
00:33:34.540 less
00:33:35.680 blunt
00:33:36.620 instrument
00:33:37.200 but it
00:33:37.780 was sort
00:33:38.180 of
00:33:38.400 appropriate
00:33:39.280 for the
00:33:39.900 size
00:33:40.360 of the
00:33:40.620 problem
00:33:41.040 I would
00:33:42.740 say when
00:33:43.100 we're
00:33:43.300 talking about
00:33:43.860 institutional
00:33:44.740 racism
00:33:45.380 you need
00:33:46.100 a new
00:33:46.460 tool
00:33:46.860 the new
00:33:48.120 tool
00:33:48.460 is going
00:33:48.860 to be
00:33:49.020 the hardest
00:33:49.560 one
00:33:50.020 it's the
00:33:51.200 easiest
00:33:51.580 one
00:33:52.080 it's the
00:33:53.340 easiest
00:33:53.640 one to
00:33:54.100 do
00:33:54.480 it's the
00:33:55.640 hardest
00:33:55.920 one
00:33:56.420 to
00:33:57.580 understand
00:33:58.280 all right
00:33:59.980 so I'm
00:34:00.800 going to
00:34:01.020 give the
00:34:02.220 black
00:34:02.520 community
00:34:03.040 a magic
00:34:04.820 persuasion
00:34:07.380 gift
00:34:07.960 the thing
00:34:09.320 I'm going
00:34:09.600 to tell
00:34:09.840 you next
00:34:10.320 is so
00:34:10.820 powerful
00:34:11.360 that if
00:34:12.400 you were
00:34:12.740 a Harry
00:34:13.560 Potter fan
00:34:14.340 it's
00:34:15.540 virtually
00:34:16.040 like a
00:34:16.560 spell
00:34:16.920 not all
00:34:18.340 persuasion
00:34:18.820 is this
00:34:19.200 powerful
00:34:19.660 some
00:34:20.580 persuasion
00:34:21.160 is weak
00:34:22.200 some
00:34:23.160 is much
00:34:23.640 stronger
00:34:24.060 this
00:34:25.440 persuasion
00:34:26.060 that I'm
00:34:26.380 going to
00:34:26.560 give you
00:34:26.960 is so
00:34:27.500 powerful
00:34:28.060 and so
00:34:29.300 reliable
00:34:29.940 it's
00:34:31.060 practically
00:34:31.620 like a
00:34:32.100 magic
00:34:32.360 spell
00:34:32.740 and it's
00:34:34.160 one that
00:34:34.660 white people
00:34:35.340 know
00:34:35.700 and black
00:34:37.560 people
00:34:38.000 sometimes
00:34:39.180 know
00:34:39.500 but
00:34:41.020 I'm
00:34:41.920 starting
00:34:42.260 to think
00:34:42.760 could use
00:34:43.500 a little
00:34:43.780 reminder
00:34:44.400 and I
00:34:46.520 don't know
00:34:46.780 if it's
00:34:47.040 a cultural
00:34:47.520 difference
00:34:48.080 because I
00:34:49.400 don't have
00:34:49.780 good visibility
00:34:50.520 of what it's
00:34:51.000 like to be
00:34:51.500 a black
00:34:52.420 man in
00:34:53.020 America
00:34:53.340 I'm not
00:34:53.720 going to
00:34:53.900 pretend
00:34:54.200 that I
00:34:54.640 have some
00:34:54.940 sense of
00:34:55.540 what that's
00:34:55.940 like
00:34:56.220 and vice
00:34:57.640 versa
00:34:57.900 which is
00:34:58.440 my whole
00:34:58.780 point
00:34:59.080 if you're
00:34:59.960 a black
00:35:00.260 person in
00:35:00.640 America
00:35:00.880 do you
00:35:01.260 know what
00:35:01.700 white people
00:35:02.140 are thinking
00:35:02.680 well you
00:35:03.640 think you
00:35:04.080 do in
00:35:04.500 the big
00:35:05.140 stuff
00:35:05.540 but not
00:35:06.540 really
00:35:06.960 same as
00:35:08.360 nobody else
00:35:09.260 knows what
00:35:09.660 you're
00:35:09.820 thinking
00:35:10.160 not
00:35:10.480 really
00:35:10.920 you can
00:35:11.700 get the
00:35:12.000 big stuff
00:35:12.520 but not
00:35:12.900 really
00:35:13.300 you know
00:35:14.560 for the
00:35:14.940 for the
00:35:15.620 totality
00:35:16.060 of it
00:35:16.340 and here's
00:35:16.760 the tip
00:35:17.160 now that I
00:35:18.220 built it
00:35:18.580 up
00:35:18.840 I'm going
00:35:19.860 to give
00:35:20.520 you the
00:35:20.960 tip
00:35:21.260 in the
00:35:21.660 form of
00:35:22.080 a story
00:35:22.720 because
00:35:24.160 stories with
00:35:25.120 visuals
00:35:25.620 are also
00:35:26.720 stories with
00:35:28.880 visuals
00:35:29.300 are also
00:35:30.100 very persuasive
00:35:31.200 and here's
00:35:32.280 the story
00:35:32.780 there's a
00:35:34.300 shopkeeper
00:35:34.960 in an
00:35:35.880 urban place
00:35:36.700 he's a
00:35:37.980 white guy
00:35:38.540 doesn't
00:35:39.620 matter who
00:35:39.960 he is
00:35:40.240 he's a
00:35:40.620 white guy
00:35:41.120 and he's
00:35:42.180 at his
00:35:42.520 shop
00:35:43.200 that's been
00:35:43.720 destroyed
00:35:44.280 and he's
00:35:45.660 there this
00:35:46.120 morning
00:35:46.420 and he is
00:35:48.240 trying to
00:35:49.260 clean up
00:35:49.740 the rubble
00:35:50.800 through his
00:35:52.220 tears
00:35:52.860 because he's
00:35:54.560 watched much
00:35:55.660 of what he
00:35:56.180 has built
00:35:56.500 for his
00:35:56.860 whole life
00:35:57.340 be destroyed
00:35:58.560 while he
00:36:00.080 watched on
00:36:00.620 TV
00:36:00.920 black man
00:36:03.740 walks up
00:36:04.760 to him
00:36:05.100 with a
00:36:06.600 broom
00:36:06.900 and says
00:36:08.840 can I
00:36:10.700 help you
00:36:11.160 my name
00:36:12.140 is
00:36:12.400 whatever
00:36:13.000 would you
00:36:15.060 mind
00:36:15.480 if I
00:36:16.400 help you
00:36:16.720 clean up
00:36:17.260 that's it
00:36:20.260 that's the
00:36:22.180 magic spell
00:36:22.860 would you
00:36:24.600 mind
00:36:25.000 if I
00:36:26.340 help you
00:36:26.760 clean up
00:36:27.340 shop owner
00:36:29.460 says I
00:36:30.020 can't afford
00:36:30.460 to pay
00:36:30.800 you
00:36:31.020 I'm
00:36:31.480 broke
00:36:31.860 black man
00:36:33.440 says I'm
00:36:34.700 not asking
00:36:35.140 for pay
00:36:35.620 I'm asking
00:36:37.180 if I can
00:36:37.680 help
00:36:38.020 now if
00:36:42.700 you don't
00:36:43.120 understand
00:36:43.700 what just
00:36:45.240 happened
00:36:45.660 I guess
00:36:48.480 that spell
00:36:49.100 will never
00:36:49.480 be available
00:36:50.020 to you
00:36:51.140 but reciprocity
00:36:54.140 is a
00:36:56.120 superpower
00:36:56.720 that works
00:36:58.340 on white
00:36:58.740 people
00:36:59.060 now I'm
00:37:00.460 not going
00:37:00.720 to say it
00:37:01.020 doesn't work
00:37:01.480 on other
00:37:01.820 people
00:37:02.160 I'm going
00:37:03.220 to stick
00:37:03.660 with my
00:37:04.140 central
00:37:04.640 claim
00:37:05.140 that you
00:37:06.140 can know
00:37:06.480 a little
00:37:06.780 bit about
00:37:07.200 the people
00:37:07.640 you are
00:37:08.300 but we're
00:37:09.620 just guessing
00:37:10.760 about other
00:37:11.520 people
00:37:11.880 you can try
00:37:12.740 as hard
00:37:13.080 as you can
00:37:13.560 to listen
00:37:13.980 to them
00:37:14.400 understand
00:37:14.780 them
00:37:15.140 have empathy
00:37:16.140 but you
00:37:16.540 just can't
00:37:17.400 know what
00:37:17.840 it's like
00:37:18.220 to be
00:37:18.520 another
00:37:18.800 person
00:37:19.260 if you're
00:37:21.140 black
00:37:21.540 you can't
00:37:23.060 know what
00:37:23.500 it's like
00:37:24.060 to be
00:37:24.920 me
00:37:25.280 not that
00:37:26.620 you should
00:37:27.080 but if
00:37:28.040 you like
00:37:28.360 a magic
00:37:28.860 power
00:37:29.320 if you'd
00:37:30.460 like a
00:37:30.920 magic
00:37:31.420 spell
00:37:32.320 that takes
00:37:33.820 you that
00:37:34.240 last mile
00:37:35.080 you want
00:37:36.020 something that's
00:37:36.600 not as big
00:37:37.280 as a
00:37:38.780 civil war
00:37:39.520 because that's
00:37:40.840 the wrong
00:37:41.240 tool
00:37:41.600 you want
00:37:42.600 something that's
00:37:43.160 not as big
00:37:43.840 as the
00:37:44.280 entire
00:37:44.680 civil rights
00:37:45.500 movement
00:37:46.120 because that's
00:37:47.380 not exactly
00:37:48.380 the tool
00:37:48.940 because the
00:37:49.340 core system
00:37:49.900 is pretty
00:37:50.280 good right
00:37:50.720 now
00:37:51.020 about making
00:37:51.900 sure that
00:37:52.320 we're treated
00:37:52.880 right
00:37:53.220 at least
00:37:53.720 legally
00:37:54.120 you know
00:37:54.760 wherever we
00:37:55.340 can catch
00:37:55.800 it we try
00:37:56.220 to fix
00:37:56.560 it
00:37:56.800 but now
00:37:58.160 you've got
00:37:58.480 this so-called
00:38:00.000 institutional
00:38:00.820 racism
00:38:01.500 it's subtle
00:38:03.120 and pervasive
00:38:04.500 it's just sort
00:38:05.800 of in the
00:38:06.240 fabric
00:38:06.740 it's just sort
00:38:07.640 of built
00:38:08.020 into us
00:38:08.740 how do you
00:38:09.760 get rid
00:38:10.220 of
00:38:10.600 bad patterns
00:38:13.420 in people's
00:38:14.040 heads
00:38:14.360 because racism
00:38:16.240 bigotry
00:38:17.440 prejudice
00:38:17.980 are patterns
00:38:18.900 that we
00:38:19.380 have in
00:38:19.680 our heads
00:38:20.120 which are
00:38:21.140 unproductive
00:38:21.760 if you have
00:38:23.420 an unproductive
00:38:24.240 pattern in
00:38:24.980 your head
00:38:25.400 and that's
00:38:25.780 the last
00:38:26.220 mile
00:38:26.640 remember
00:38:27.540 first mile
00:38:28.320 civil war
00:38:29.880 second mile
00:38:31.460 civil rights
00:38:32.960 core systems
00:38:34.100 sue the people
00:38:36.140 who are not
00:38:36.900 you know
00:38:37.720 not being
00:38:38.460 good people
00:38:39.020 last mile
00:38:40.760 this is the
00:38:41.900 last mile
00:38:42.580 this is
00:38:44.120 this is
00:38:45.180 really
00:38:45.480 tinkering
00:38:46.340 with the
00:38:46.760 fabric
00:38:47.240 if you
00:38:48.520 want the
00:38:48.860 last mile
00:38:49.460 to work
00:38:50.060 reciprocity
00:38:51.860 works
00:38:54.440 every time
00:38:56.440 every time
00:38:58.660 so let me
00:39:00.440 go back to
00:39:00.900 the story
00:39:01.380 young african
00:39:02.520 american man
00:39:03.280 shows up
00:39:04.180 with a broom
00:39:04.780 helps the
00:39:06.160 shop cleaner
00:39:06.920 clean up
00:39:08.120 introduces
00:39:09.540 himself
00:39:10.080 at the
00:39:10.880 end
00:39:11.160 and says
00:39:11.700 keep in
00:39:14.680 touch
00:39:15.000 here's my
00:39:15.600 phone number
00:39:16.080 that's it
00:39:17.440 asks for
00:39:18.800 nothing
00:39:19.180 asks for
00:39:20.940 nothing
00:39:21.280 walks away
00:39:22.880 now if that
00:39:24.160 shopkeeper ever
00:39:24.880 needs to hire
00:39:25.480 somebody
00:39:25.960 in the future
00:39:27.820 he needs to
00:39:28.440 hire somebody
00:39:29.060 who is he
00:39:30.180 call
00:39:30.540 who is he
00:39:32.760 call
00:39:33.160 that's right
00:39:34.160 he finds
00:39:35.740 that phone
00:39:36.140 number
00:39:36.440 of that
00:39:37.940 one black
00:39:39.120 guy
00:39:39.400 who showed
00:39:40.800 up unasked
00:39:41.640 and helped
00:39:42.600 him clean
00:39:43.040 up his
00:39:43.420 store
00:39:43.720 it's five
00:39:45.520 years later
00:39:46.120 he still
00:39:47.480 has the
00:39:47.820 phone number
00:39:48.340 he still
00:39:49.480 calls him
00:39:50.220 gives him
00:39:51.840 the job
00:39:52.320 he calls
00:39:53.700 him and
00:39:54.140 the guy
00:39:54.360 has a
00:39:54.660 better job
00:39:55.100 already
00:39:55.400 because a
00:39:55.940 guy like
00:39:56.260 that's
00:39:56.540 going to
00:39:56.740 get a
00:39:56.980 job
00:39:57.160 pretty
00:39:57.360 quickly
00:39:57.680 that guy
00:39:58.860 that showed
00:39:59.220 up with
00:39:59.520 the broom
00:39:59.840 he probably
00:40:00.800 doesn't need
00:40:01.220 a job
00:40:01.620 probably
00:40:02.980 doesn't need
00:40:03.400 one
00:40:03.640 because the
00:40:04.500 guy that
00:40:04.820 shows up
00:40:05.180 with the
00:40:05.420 broom
00:40:05.640 he can
00:40:06.020 get a
00:40:06.320 job
00:40:06.620 probably
00:40:07.980 already
00:40:08.180 has one
00:40:08.580 but now
00:40:10.380 the shopkeeper
00:40:10.980 says you
00:40:11.420 know
00:40:11.640 all right
00:40:12.580 you're not
00:40:12.940 available
00:40:13.340 maybe I'll
00:40:15.200 hire the
00:40:15.520 next young
00:40:16.140 black guy
00:40:16.600 that comes
00:40:16.960 in here
00:40:17.300 pay it
00:40:18.300 back
00:40:18.640 pay it
00:40:19.160 forward
00:40:19.500 if there's
00:40:21.380 one thing
00:40:21.860 you can
00:40:22.260 depend on
00:40:23.120 with your
00:40:24.380 average
00:40:25.080 khaki
00:40:26.000 wearing
00:40:26.520 cubicle
00:40:27.400 working
00:40:29.100 low
00:40:30.180 mowing
00:40:30.820 barbecuing
00:40:31.920 white
00:40:32.720 man
00:40:33.120 reciprocity
00:40:35.280 works
00:40:36.940 every
00:40:38.000 time
00:40:38.580 I'll tell
00:40:39.540 you the
00:40:39.760 first time
00:40:40.180 that I
00:40:40.440 learned this
00:40:40.860 story
00:40:41.200 it was
00:40:42.340 crazy
00:40:42.760 I was
00:40:44.840 12
00:40:47.360 years old
00:40:47.880 maybe
00:40:48.140 maybe 11
00:40:49.100 or 12
00:40:49.480 years old
00:40:49.920 and I
00:40:50.840 used to
00:40:51.380 shovel
00:40:52.040 snow
00:40:53.040 from my
00:40:53.580 neighbor
00:40:53.860 who was
00:40:54.360 not directly
00:40:55.080 a neighbor
00:40:55.460 but I
00:40:56.160 had to
00:40:56.400 walk to
00:40:56.740 his house
00:40:57.120 and he
00:40:58.400 was a
00:40:58.640 rich guy
00:40:59.060 and I
00:40:59.320 didn't know
00:40:59.660 why
00:41:00.020 turns out
00:41:01.240 there was
00:41:02.960 some
00:41:03.200 criminal
00:41:04.580 enterprise
00:41:05.200 in the
00:41:05.460 family
00:41:05.780 but I
00:41:06.440 didn't know
00:41:06.780 that at
00:41:07.120 the time
00:41:07.420 so he
00:41:08.440 was an
00:41:08.920 old
00:41:09.260 guy
00:41:10.340 who was
00:41:10.580 born in
00:41:10.980 Greece
00:41:11.500 and he
00:41:13.300 was the
00:41:13.640 nicest guy
00:41:14.460 ever
00:41:15.000 he wasn't
00:41:15.620 personally
00:41:16.120 involved in
00:41:16.600 any crime
00:41:17.080 but members
00:41:17.940 of the
00:41:18.160 family were
00:41:18.600 and my
00:41:21.040 deal with
00:41:21.440 him is
00:41:21.780 that if
00:41:22.120 it snowed
00:41:22.680 overnight
00:41:23.020 I would
00:41:24.040 wake up
00:41:24.520 before the
00:41:25.200 sun came
00:41:25.640 up and I
00:41:26.160 would
00:41:26.340 shrudge
00:41:26.680 through the
00:41:27.000 snow
00:41:27.200 with my
00:41:27.680 shovel
00:41:28.100 and I
00:41:29.100 would
00:41:29.240 shovel
00:41:29.580 his
00:41:30.200 driveway
00:41:31.060 and his
00:41:32.180 walkway
00:41:33.300 all the way
00:41:33.700 around his
00:41:34.080 house
00:41:34.300 he had a
00:41:34.720 sidewalk
00:41:35.020 all the way
00:41:35.500 around the
00:41:35.840 house
00:41:36.080 and I
00:41:38.180 would shovel
00:41:38.500 all that
00:41:38.980 and it would
00:41:39.200 be exhausting
00:41:39.700 and go to
00:41:40.700 school and
00:41:41.060 stuff
00:41:41.220 and he
00:41:42.940 would sometimes
00:41:43.840 offer to
00:41:44.340 overpay me
00:41:45.200 he would
00:41:46.760 offer to
00:41:47.140 overpay me
00:41:47.960 and I
00:41:50.680 would sometimes
00:41:51.300 refuse
00:41:51.860 because he
00:41:53.180 was paying
00:41:53.540 me too
00:41:53.920 much
00:41:54.300 do you
00:41:55.800 know how
00:41:56.140 much that
00:41:56.620 guy loved
00:41:57.280 me
00:41:57.640 because I
00:41:59.060 would refuse
00:41:59.620 to take all
00:42:00.320 of his
00:42:00.580 money
00:42:00.860 a lot
00:42:02.880 now I
00:42:04.000 didn't do
00:42:04.380 it you
00:42:05.520 know to
00:42:05.840 to get a
00:42:06.660 some kind
00:42:07.440 of advantage
00:42:08.060 I did it
00:42:09.040 because he
00:42:09.400 actually was
00:42:09.880 paying me so
00:42:10.400 much it was
00:42:10.820 embarrassing
00:42:11.320 like I
00:42:12.440 yeah as
00:42:13.160 even as a
00:42:13.660 kid I was
00:42:13.960 like that's
00:42:14.740 a lot
00:42:15.120 you know
00:42:16.060 and and
00:42:16.740 he sat
00:42:17.060 me down
00:42:17.380 one time
00:42:17.920 so one
00:42:19.560 day I
00:42:19.960 refused his
00:42:20.900 generosity
00:42:21.480 because it
00:42:22.720 was just
00:42:23.260 too much
00:42:24.560 and he
00:42:26.140 said put
00:42:26.580 down the
00:42:26.960 shovel
00:42:27.260 I remember
00:42:28.260 I'm like
00:42:28.600 11 or
00:42:29.040 12 he's
00:42:29.660 probably
00:42:29.940 70 he
00:42:31.900 was put
00:42:32.160 down your
00:42:32.480 shovel for
00:42:32.960 a minute
00:42:33.260 like oh
00:42:34.140 no I'm
00:42:34.860 in trouble
00:42:35.360 and he
00:42:36.960 sat down
00:42:37.380 he said
00:42:37.820 I want to
00:42:38.760 tell you
00:42:39.020 something
00:42:39.400 it's like
00:42:40.280 one of the
00:42:40.840 most important
00:42:41.360 things you'll
00:42:41.940 ever learn
00:42:42.460 I'm like
00:42:43.420 okay here
00:42:44.680 it comes
00:42:45.180 and he
00:42:46.080 goes when
00:42:46.600 someone offers
00:42:47.260 to give you
00:42:47.820 something
00:42:48.200 it's because
00:42:49.560 they want
00:42:50.180 you to have
00:42:50.600 it
00:42:50.900 it was
00:42:53.400 one of the
00:42:53.680 most important
00:42:54.280 things I
00:42:54.660 ever learned
00:42:55.180 he goes
00:42:56.720 yeah if
00:42:57.300 somebody offers
00:42:57.960 you something
00:42:58.560 it's because
00:42:59.640 they want
00:43:00.320 you to have
00:43:00.740 it in other
00:43:01.240 words they're
00:43:01.620 better off if
00:43:02.240 you take
00:43:02.560 it do it
00:43:04.200 for me
00:43:04.560 and I
00:43:06.100 listened to
00:43:06.540 it and I
00:43:06.880 thought I
00:43:07.500 never thought
00:43:07.940 of it that
00:43:08.260 way that
00:43:09.500 he's not
00:43:09.860 doing me a
00:43:10.400 favor he's
00:43:11.640 doing it
00:43:11.960 because he
00:43:12.320 wants to
00:43:12.740 and who
00:43:13.880 am I to
00:43:14.460 not give
00:43:14.880 him what
00:43:15.120 he wants
00:43:15.560 he wants
00:43:16.520 me to have
00:43:16.880 this money
00:43:17.320 he has
00:43:17.980 decided that
00:43:18.760 I'm worth
00:43:19.280 this amount
00:43:19.960 of money
00:43:20.280 he wants
00:43:21.220 it he's
00:43:21.660 not going
00:43:21.920 to be
00:43:22.060 happy if
00:43:22.440 I don't
00:43:22.640 take it
00:43:23.020 and I
00:43:24.500 learned that
00:43:24.980 lesson and
00:43:25.720 I can't tell
00:43:26.580 you how well
00:43:27.200 that has
00:43:27.600 served me
00:43:28.240 through life
00:43:29.000 to just
00:43:29.900 understand that
00:43:31.060 if somebody
00:43:31.440 offers something
00:43:32.160 they want you
00:43:33.180 to have it
00:43:33.700 now you have
00:43:34.700 to look you
00:43:35.260 know in case
00:43:35.660 they're playing
00:43:36.540 some kind
00:43:37.040 of a scheme
00:43:37.480 or something
00:43:37.980 but it's
00:43:38.920 but it's
00:43:39.420 quite often
00:43:40.300 the case
00:43:41.120 and it
00:43:43.640 was one of
00:43:44.120 those lessons
00:43:44.660 I learned
00:43:45.100 about reciprocity
00:43:46.580 that because
00:43:47.740 I was sort
00:43:48.480 of extra good
00:43:49.360 to him
00:43:49.780 he couldn't
00:43:50.920 turn it
00:43:51.320 off
00:43:51.660 he didn't
00:43:52.840 know how
00:43:53.420 to be
00:43:53.820 anything but
00:43:55.020 extra good
00:43:55.700 to me
00:43:56.140 and he
00:43:56.840 needed it
00:43:57.560 he needed
00:43:58.480 it
00:43:58.840 that's the
00:44:00.300 magic part
00:44:00.980 I created
00:44:02.160 just accidentally
00:44:03.360 by doing my
00:44:04.640 job better
00:44:05.340 than he expected
00:44:06.220 which is
00:44:07.480 sort of my
00:44:08.220 that's my
00:44:09.080 that's my strategy
00:44:10.580 in life
00:44:11.040 if somebody says
00:44:11.880 this is the job
00:44:12.660 we want you to do
00:44:13.320 I'm always going
00:44:14.520 to try to do
00:44:14.980 better than that
00:44:15.760 because
00:44:16.900 it's just
00:44:18.040 my strategy
00:44:18.700 let me tell
00:44:20.920 you another
00:44:21.180 one
00:44:21.520 I was
00:44:23.020 in my
00:44:24.800 20s
00:44:25.500 barely
00:44:26.840 making it
00:44:28.040 financially
00:44:29.140 and I was
00:44:30.220 living in
00:44:30.640 an in-law
00:44:31.120 apartment
00:44:31.600 below
00:44:32.760 the landlord's
00:44:34.260 home
00:44:34.720 in San
00:44:35.180 Francisco
00:44:35.600 it was a
00:44:36.560 one bedroom
00:44:37.260 one window
00:44:38.540 little window
00:44:39.600 just sort
00:44:42.260 of a
00:44:42.460 hovel
00:44:42.820 but
00:44:43.920 my
00:44:45.320 landlord
00:44:45.820 was this
00:44:46.540 German guy
00:44:47.400 so he was
00:44:48.080 born in
00:44:48.440 Germany
00:44:48.780 but an
00:44:49.540 American
00:44:49.820 and
00:44:51.060 one day
00:44:51.980 I had a
00:44:52.700 bunch of
00:44:53.000 trash
00:44:53.560 and I
00:44:54.180 needed to
00:44:54.480 get rid
00:44:54.760 of it
00:44:55.040 so I
00:44:55.920 called my
00:44:56.360 landlord
00:44:56.700 and I
00:44:57.120 said
00:44:57.420 I've
00:44:58.720 ordered a
00:44:59.200 dumpster
00:44:59.580 to come
00:45:00.020 and
00:45:01.380 the
00:45:02.140 I'm going
00:45:02.980 to fill
00:45:03.220 it up
00:45:03.440 with my
00:45:03.700 stuff
00:45:04.020 but I
00:45:04.420 won't
00:45:04.620 fill it
00:45:05.000 up
00:45:05.280 so if
00:45:05.980 you'd
00:45:06.220 like
00:45:06.600 you know
00:45:07.320 since the
00:45:07.860 dumpster
00:45:08.200 will be
00:45:08.420 here anyway
00:45:08.860 if you'd
00:45:09.380 like
00:45:09.600 you can
00:45:10.000 use
00:45:10.220 the rest
00:45:10.580 of the
00:45:10.800 dumpster
00:45:11.180 if you
00:45:11.760 have
00:45:11.880 anything
00:45:12.160 you want
00:45:12.460 to throw
00:45:12.700 away
00:45:13.060 and I'll
00:45:14.040 pay for
00:45:14.400 it
00:45:14.680 made him
00:45:16.620 crazy
00:45:17.260 do you
00:45:18.520 know why
00:45:18.960 why did
00:45:20.400 it make
00:45:20.680 my
00:45:20.900 neighbor
00:45:21.220 crazy
00:45:22.040 that I
00:45:23.240 offered
00:45:23.600 to
00:45:24.060 let him
00:45:24.940 use
00:45:25.100 at no
00:45:25.420 charge
00:45:25.860 my
00:45:27.540 dumpster
00:45:28.200 and he
00:45:28.820 didn't mind
00:45:29.160 the dumpster
00:45:29.620 company
00:45:29.840 he was
00:45:30.100 fine
00:45:30.280 with that
00:45:30.700 but when
00:45:31.580 I
00:45:31.700 offered
00:45:32.000 to let
00:45:32.380 him
00:45:32.500 use
00:45:32.820 it
00:45:33.060 the
00:45:33.940 half
00:45:34.240 of it
00:45:34.500 that was
00:45:34.740 going
00:45:34.880 to be
00:45:35.060 empty
00:45:35.320 for
00:45:36.040 free
00:45:36.460 he
00:45:38.360 went
00:45:38.560 crazy
00:45:39.020 do you
00:45:40.440 know why
00:45:40.880 because I
00:45:42.840 obligated
00:45:43.380 him
00:45:43.540 right
00:45:45.800 I obligated
00:45:47.080 him
00:45:47.320 he begged
00:45:48.800 me to
00:45:49.660 let him
00:45:50.120 pay for
00:45:50.540 the whole
00:45:50.840 dumpster
00:45:51.280 he begged
00:45:52.960 me
00:45:53.260 he said
00:45:54.560 absolutely
00:45:55.380 not
00:45:55.880 just
00:45:56.660 couldn't live
00:45:57.560 with it
00:45:57.900 he could
00:45:58.740 not live
00:45:59.500 with me
00:46:01.700 giving him
00:46:02.480 something
00:46:02.820 because I
00:46:03.700 had no
00:46:04.140 money
00:46:04.460 and he
00:46:04.820 had a
00:46:05.020 lot
00:46:05.300 I
00:46:06.460 had no
00:46:06.980 money
00:46:07.340 and he
00:46:08.720 had a
00:46:09.060 lot
00:46:09.380 couldn't
00:46:10.220 live
00:46:10.580 with me
00:46:10.960 just
00:46:11.180 giving him
00:46:11.640 something
00:46:11.920 that he
00:46:12.440 wanted
00:46:12.760 he
00:46:13.120 actually
00:46:13.340 wanted
00:46:13.660 it
00:46:13.880 he
00:46:15.300 insisted
00:46:16.180 that he
00:46:16.560 pay for
00:46:16.900 the entire
00:46:17.400 dumpster
00:46:17.900 for me
00:46:18.860 now because
00:46:21.540 I had
00:46:22.020 learned
00:46:22.440 from my
00:46:24.100 neighbor
00:46:24.420 that when
00:46:25.980 somebody
00:46:26.380 offers to
00:46:27.240 do
00:46:27.420 something
00:46:27.780 for you
00:46:28.420 it's
00:46:29.560 because they
00:46:29.900 want to
00:46:30.320 so I
00:46:31.840 did put
00:46:32.180 up
00:46:32.320 resistance
00:46:32.780 because
00:46:34.000 you know
00:46:34.600 you make
00:46:34.960 an offer
00:46:35.340 you don't
00:46:35.740 just take
00:46:36.220 it away
00:46:36.640 right
00:46:37.300 so I
00:46:38.560 made my
00:46:38.920 offer
00:46:39.220 I let
00:46:40.680 him argue
00:46:41.340 with me
00:46:41.760 and then I
00:46:42.200 said you
00:46:42.560 know
00:46:42.760 okay
00:46:43.860 because I
00:46:45.840 believed he
00:46:46.340 actually wanted
00:46:46.860 to do it
00:46:47.280 and he
00:46:47.520 did pay
00:46:47.820 for it
00:46:48.620 that
00:46:49.720 is how
00:46:51.040 the Harry
00:46:51.440 Potter
00:46:51.860 reciprocity
00:46:53.660 works
00:46:54.940 on white
00:46:56.200 people
00:46:56.520 now again
00:46:57.500 it probably
00:46:58.580 works just
00:46:59.100 fine on
00:46:59.520 everybody
00:46:59.920 because it's
00:47:00.480 a universal
00:47:01.020 principle
00:47:01.520 but when I
00:47:02.560 say it
00:47:03.120 works great
00:47:03.700 on white
00:47:04.220 people
00:47:04.540 I'm not
00:47:05.440 saying only
00:47:05.960 on white
00:47:06.300 people
00:47:06.560 that would
00:47:07.100 be racist
00:47:07.620 I'm saying
00:47:08.620 that it's
00:47:09.000 all I know
00:47:09.540 that's all
00:47:10.720 I know
00:47:11.120 right
00:47:11.900 I'm only
00:47:12.680 going to
00:47:12.900 talk about
00:47:13.260 what I
00:47:13.560 know
00:47:13.840 and if
00:47:14.260 you want
00:47:14.560 to influence
00:47:15.220 my
00:47:16.360 Greek
00:47:17.240 neighbor
00:47:17.600 who's
00:47:18.900 deceased
00:47:19.360 if you
00:47:20.220 wanted to
00:47:20.640 influence
00:47:21.100 my old
00:47:21.880 German
00:47:22.240 landlord
00:47:22.940 now deceased
00:47:24.560 I assume
00:47:25.060 you want
00:47:26.140 to influence
00:47:26.760 me
00:47:27.420 you want
00:47:28.940 to influence
00:47:29.480 the shopkeeper
00:47:30.860 and you
00:47:31.940 want to
00:47:32.200 get rid
00:47:32.480 of the
00:47:32.740 last
00:47:33.080 mile
00:47:33.540 the
00:47:34.140 institutional
00:47:35.060 racism
00:47:35.680 the part
00:47:36.240 that's just
00:47:37.620 sort of
00:47:37.980 baked into
00:47:38.760 the fabric
00:47:39.380 of stuff
00:47:39.880 and you
00:47:40.140 don't even
00:47:40.460 know how
00:47:40.700 to get
00:47:40.940 it out
00:47:41.300 it's like
00:47:41.920 a stain
00:47:42.420 that's hard
00:47:42.800 to remove
00:47:43.340 if you
00:47:44.060 want to
00:47:44.260 get rid
00:47:44.520 of the
00:47:44.740 stain
00:47:45.260 reciprocity
00:47:47.960 what we're
00:47:49.300 seeing
00:47:49.580 tonight
00:47:49.900 is the
00:47:50.200 opposite
00:47:50.500 of
00:47:50.720 reciprocity
00:47:51.340 you're
00:47:51.640 literally
00:47:51.960 seeing
00:47:52.300 videos
00:47:52.840 of black
00:47:53.580 people
00:47:53.900 beating
00:47:54.200 their shit
00:47:54.660 out of
00:47:54.960 white
00:47:55.160 people
00:47:55.480 who did
00:47:56.600 whatever
00:47:56.960 that's the
00:47:58.320 opposite
00:47:58.640 of reciprocity
00:47:59.500 it's taking
00:48:00.180 you backwards
00:48:00.740 and I would
00:48:02.140 say that
00:48:02.700 black people
00:48:06.200 in the United
00:48:06.600 States have
00:48:07.140 probably lost
00:48:08.000 10 years
00:48:08.820 of progress
00:48:09.460 this weekend
00:48:10.660 probably
00:48:12.580 I think
00:48:13.680 black America
00:48:14.700 has lost
00:48:15.080 10 years
00:48:15.560 of progress
00:48:16.140 and it's
00:48:17.900 because of
00:48:18.380 this
00:48:18.700 that the
00:48:20.520 tool to
00:48:21.100 fix it
00:48:21.720 was to
00:48:22.820 recognize
00:48:23.180 that we
00:48:23.640 were all
00:48:23.980 on the
00:48:24.240 same side
00:48:24.820 and to
00:48:26.460 offer
00:48:26.740 something
00:48:27.160 here's the
00:48:29.080 offer
00:48:29.380 President
00:48:30.580 Trump
00:48:31.060 how can
00:48:33.120 we be
00:48:33.540 successful
00:48:34.060 together
00:48:34.560 how can
00:48:36.100 I help
00:48:36.440 you get
00:48:36.800 reelected
00:48:37.520 this is
00:48:38.880 the extreme
00:48:39.460 example
00:48:39.920 I'm not
00:48:40.340 saying you
00:48:40.680 should agree
00:48:41.080 with this
00:48:41.400 one
00:48:41.560 necessarily
00:48:42.020 but to
00:48:42.920 demonstrate
00:48:44.940 the technique
00:48:45.720 President
00:48:46.840 Trump
00:48:47.240 we're going
00:48:48.200 to help
00:48:48.420 you get
00:48:48.680 reelected
00:48:49.340 here's some
00:48:51.040 things we
00:48:51.400 need
00:48:51.680 can we talk
00:48:52.680 about these
00:48:53.160 five things
00:48:53.720 that might
00:48:54.000 make things
00:48:54.520 better
00:48:54.820 what do you
00:48:55.880 think you'll
00:48:56.180 say
00:48:56.460 yes
00:48:58.380 yes
00:48:59.820 he's going
00:49:01.040 to say
00:49:01.260 yes
00:49:01.660 if Black
00:49:02.900 Lives Matter
00:49:03.420 is even a
00:49:04.080 little bit
00:49:04.480 serious
00:49:05.000 about fixing
00:49:06.000 anything
00:49:06.460 versus
00:49:07.000 having it
00:49:08.180 as an
00:49:08.580 issue
00:49:08.840 if they're
00:49:10.000 even a
00:49:10.340 little bit
00:49:10.700 serious
00:49:11.020 about fixing
00:49:11.620 it
00:49:11.900 it's
00:49:12.960 right there
00:49:13.680 the table
00:49:15.080 is cleared
00:49:15.780 the invitation
00:49:18.200 is on
00:49:18.840 all the
00:49:20.780 tools are
00:49:21.340 in place
00:49:21.920 all the
00:49:23.340 ears are
00:49:23.880 listening
00:49:24.240 all the
00:49:25.480 eyes are
00:49:26.000 looking
00:49:26.320 just give
00:49:29.280 us something
00:49:29.700 give us
00:49:30.860 something where
00:49:31.460 we can help
00:49:32.140 you
00:49:32.380 tell us how
00:49:33.940 we can be
00:49:34.400 useful
00:49:34.780 do you know
00:49:35.980 why people
00:49:36.500 like
00:49:36.880 being useful
00:49:38.720 it's true
00:49:40.380 it's true
00:49:40.400 again
00:49:41.540 when I say
00:49:43.000 white people
00:49:43.680 like to be
00:49:44.160 useful
00:49:44.500 I'm not
00:49:45.260 saying other
00:49:45.640 people don't
00:49:46.400 I'm just
00:49:47.340 sticking to
00:49:47.840 what I
00:49:48.120 know
00:49:48.380 I'm not
00:49:49.420 going to
00:49:49.620 speak for
00:49:50.020 anybody else
00:49:50.780 I really
00:49:51.400 can't even
00:49:51.780 speak for
00:49:52.180 white people
00:49:52.780 in general
00:49:53.220 but I feel
00:49:54.120 like I get
00:49:54.880 a little bit
00:49:55.640 of you know
00:49:56.380 sense of that
00:49:57.660 life if you
00:49:58.240 know what I
00:49:58.560 mean
00:49:58.780 somebody says
00:50:01.660 they just want
00:50:02.260 the issue
00:50:02.640 I'm sure
00:50:02.980 some do
00:50:03.480 but
00:50:05.560 so
00:50:06.960 just to make
00:50:08.000 it as clear
00:50:08.540 as possible
00:50:09.220 my patience
00:50:10.740 for the
00:50:11.860 protesting
00:50:12.460 ended last
00:50:13.920 night
00:50:14.400 from Monday
00:50:16.420 on
00:50:16.940 it's war
00:50:18.600 it's just
00:50:20.360 war
00:50:20.740 if you need
00:50:22.420 it to be
00:50:22.760 war it's
00:50:23.300 going to be
00:50:23.580 war
00:50:23.900 but
00:50:24.980 the smart
00:50:26.300 play would
00:50:27.080 be to be
00:50:27.940 productive
00:50:28.380 so
00:50:33.000 compare if
00:50:34.980 you will
00:50:35.480 how Fox
00:50:36.760 News
00:50:37.200 treats the
00:50:37.880 fine people
00:50:38.560 hoax
00:50:39.140 compared to
00:50:40.700 CNN
00:50:41.200 so CNN
00:50:42.000 even
00:50:42.620 you know
00:50:43.820 even as
00:50:44.200 recently as
00:50:44.760 yesterday
00:50:45.120 was running
00:50:45.860 the fine
00:50:46.720 people hoax
00:50:47.400 they put it
00:50:48.100 in the form
00:50:48.700 of quoting
00:50:49.860 Susan Rice
00:50:50.820 who quoted
00:50:51.940 the fine
00:50:52.340 people hoax
00:50:52.900 but they
00:50:53.200 don't fact
00:50:53.660 check it
00:50:54.080 they just
00:50:54.720 run it
00:50:55.060 like it's
00:50:55.400 some kind
00:50:55.720 of fact
00:50:56.140 I will
00:50:59.580 tell you
00:51:00.380 that I
00:51:00.680 had a
00:51:01.120 tense
00:51:02.300 exchange
00:51:02.900 with
00:51:03.320 Jake
00:51:03.920 Tapper
00:51:04.300 after I
00:51:04.860 blocked
00:51:05.180 him
00:51:05.400 and called
00:51:05.760 him a
00:51:06.040 liar
00:51:06.260 in public
00:51:06.800 so he
00:51:09.160 did contact
00:51:09.780 me and we
00:51:10.420 had some
00:51:10.740 back and
00:51:11.140 forth on
00:51:11.580 that
00:51:11.820 extensively
00:51:13.480 and here's
00:51:15.860 how
00:51:16.140 here was the
00:51:17.700 outcome of
00:51:18.120 that
00:51:18.300 the outcome
00:51:19.940 of that
00:51:20.260 is I
00:51:20.780 will
00:51:21.040 I withdraw
00:51:22.580 my
00:51:24.200 accusation
00:51:25.060 that Jake
00:51:26.400 Tapper is
00:51:27.040 a liar
00:51:27.560 on the
00:51:28.320 topic of
00:51:29.180 the fine
00:51:29.920 people hoax
00:51:30.560 so based
00:51:32.460 on the
00:51:32.760 conversation
00:51:33.340 the exchange
00:51:34.140 it is
00:51:35.560 clear he's
00:51:36.100 not lying
00:51:36.940 it's clear
00:51:38.820 that he's
00:51:39.820 experiencing
00:51:40.500 cognitive
00:51:41.140 dissonance
00:51:41.780 that's pretty
00:51:42.280 severe
00:51:42.700 now I
00:51:44.800 imagine he
00:51:45.500 wouldn't like
00:51:45.820 to hear that
00:51:46.280 either but
00:51:47.220 that's how
00:51:47.580 cognitive
00:51:48.040 dissonance
00:51:48.560 works you're
00:51:49.120 the only
00:51:49.380 person who
00:51:49.860 doesn't know
00:51:50.240 you have
00:51:50.580 it so
00:51:51.900 cognitive
00:51:52.420 dissonance
00:51:52.960 is not
00:51:53.340 something you
00:51:53.860 can discover
00:51:54.700 in yourself
00:51:55.340 it's just
00:51:56.500 something you
00:51:56.800 can see in
00:51:57.220 other people
00:51:57.660 that's
00:51:58.080 unfortunately
00:51:58.640 that's the
00:51:59.840 nature of
00:52:00.280 it and
00:52:01.360 here's how
00:52:01.800 you can
00:52:02.260 tell if
00:52:04.640 you so
00:52:05.500 he and I
00:52:05.920 had an
00:52:06.240 exchange in
00:52:06.840 which you
00:52:07.720 know he's
00:52:08.020 a very
00:52:08.280 reasonable
00:52:08.780 you know
00:52:09.620 guy very
00:52:10.820 smart so
00:52:11.940 it doesn't
00:52:12.300 take long
00:52:12.820 to kind
00:52:14.440 of climb
00:52:14.860 down to
00:52:15.360 which facts
00:52:15.980 you disagree
00:52:16.580 on so
00:52:17.940 guess which
00:52:18.580 facts we
00:52:19.840 disagreed on
00:52:20.660 on the
00:52:21.200 factual level
00:52:22.040 that we
00:52:22.960 disagreed on
00:52:23.760 turns out
00:52:24.620 none when
00:52:26.140 when we took
00:52:26.980 it down to
00:52:27.520 the fact
00:52:28.400 level there
00:52:29.500 actually weren't
00:52:30.120 any facts we
00:52:30.860 disagreed on
00:52:31.580 isn't that
00:52:32.260 weird there
00:52:33.540 were no facts
00:52:34.160 we disagreed
00:52:34.800 on a little
00:52:37.000 bit surprised
00:52:37.700 so once we
00:52:39.600 granted the
00:52:40.060 facts I
00:52:41.600 said well
00:52:42.060 okay that
00:52:43.280 was pretty
00:52:43.560 clear the
00:52:45.080 president
00:52:45.540 disavowed the
00:52:46.780 racist he
00:52:48.180 he talked to
00:52:49.000 his assumption
00:52:49.700 that there
00:52:51.480 were some
00:52:52.020 people there
00:52:52.780 who were not
00:52:53.200 racist who
00:52:53.900 were just
00:52:54.220 there about
00:52:54.620 the statues
00:52:55.160 and then
00:52:56.400 here's the
00:52:56.880 key part
00:52:57.460 and then I
00:52:58.400 said but
00:52:59.560 it doesn't
00:52:59.960 matter if he
00:53:01.080 was right or
00:53:01.720 wrong about
00:53:02.640 the composition
00:53:03.340 of the crowd
00:53:04.040 it's not
00:53:04.860 relevant because
00:53:06.140 he stated his
00:53:06.980 assumption and
00:53:08.260 then he spoke
00:53:08.840 to the
00:53:09.160 assumption if
00:53:10.360 it turns out
00:53:10.860 the crowd was
00:53:11.600 a different
00:53:11.960 composition than
00:53:12.940 he thought
00:53:13.440 there's no
00:53:15.000 story there
00:53:15.620 it just means
00:53:17.220 that he doesn't
00:53:18.020 know something
00:53:18.560 that nobody
00:53:19.040 else knows
00:53:19.540 either because
00:53:20.680 do you know
00:53:21.040 who else knows
00:53:21.800 the composition
00:53:22.540 of the crowd
00:53:23.140 as Charlottesville
00:53:23.860 nobody nobody
00:53:25.940 did a poll
00:53:26.540 they were they
00:53:28.080 were dressed in
00:53:28.800 except for the
00:53:29.840 people marching
00:53:30.460 with tiki
00:53:30.980 torches nobody
00:53:32.240 was dressed to
00:53:33.920 show what their
00:53:34.700 opinion was they
00:53:35.980 were just
00:53:36.300 dressed in
00:53:36.780 normal clothing
00:53:37.500 how could you
00:53:38.660 tell what their
00:53:39.120 opinions were
00:53:39.780 so my point
00:53:41.440 was once I
00:53:42.100 said to Jake
00:53:43.340 it doesn't matter
00:53:45.000 what the
00:53:45.320 composition of
00:53:46.020 the crowd is
00:53:46.640 he spoke to
00:53:47.440 his assumption
00:53:48.040 and it was
00:53:48.840 very clear
00:53:49.500 what do you
00:53:50.600 think Jake's
00:53:51.120 reaction to
00:53:51.660 that was
00:53:52.180 well it was
00:53:53.400 mostly talking
00:53:54.120 about how the
00:53:54.780 crowd actually
00:53:55.540 didn't have any
00:53:56.180 good good people
00:53:57.140 in it and
00:53:58.580 then I would
00:53:59.000 say well
00:53:59.940 that's irrelevant
00:54:00.600 because he
00:54:02.360 stated his
00:54:02.960 assumption and
00:54:03.820 he talked to
00:54:04.360 it if you're
00:54:05.300 saying he
00:54:05.780 had an
00:54:06.140 accurate
00:54:06.520 perception of
00:54:07.400 who was in
00:54:07.740 the crowd
00:54:08.200 that would
00:54:09.380 be just like
00:54:09.900 everybody else
00:54:10.660 because none
00:54:11.120 of us know
00:54:11.500 who was in
00:54:11.880 the crowd
00:54:12.160 exactly and
00:54:14.460 so there'd
00:54:14.860 be no story
00:54:15.540 but the point
00:54:22.420 is that the
00:54:23.120 way you identify
00:54:23.860 cognitive dissonance
00:54:24.980 is if somebody
00:54:26.040 can't address a
00:54:27.180 point they can
00:54:28.180 only address a
00:54:28.820 different point
00:54:29.420 so I kept
00:54:30.520 trying to get
00:54:31.180 him to
00:54:31.400 address the
00:54:31.880 point that
00:54:32.920 the worst
00:54:33.440 it could be
00:54:34.160 is that he
00:54:35.040 was confused
00:54:35.680 about who
00:54:36.160 was there
00:54:36.680 just like
00:54:37.620 everybody else
00:54:38.240 and he
00:54:40.680 wouldn't
00:54:40.900 address that
00:54:41.380 point he
00:54:42.980 would only
00:54:43.440 say well
00:54:43.980 that's your
00:54:44.380 opinion or
00:54:46.340 there were
00:54:46.740 bad people
00:54:47.360 there
00:54:47.720 right so
00:54:50.960 what's that
00:54:51.520 if you can't
00:54:52.440 address the
00:54:52.880 point it's
00:54:54.540 always cognitive
00:54:55.160 dissonance or
00:54:56.660 somebody's lying
00:54:57.440 or they're
00:54:58.540 misleading I
00:54:59.680 would say that
00:55:00.260 there's nothing
00:55:00.800 about him which
00:55:01.580 suggests that
00:55:02.640 he's lying but
00:55:04.540 his inability to
00:55:05.500 even even talk
00:55:07.560 about the
00:55:08.000 topic which is
00:55:09.880 that Trump
00:55:10.600 talked to his
00:55:11.260 own assumptions
00:55:11.900 and stated
00:55:12.640 them clearly so
00:55:14.140 there's nothing
00:55:14.620 there he
00:55:16.980 couldn't go
00:55:17.560 there he
00:55:18.080 couldn't even
00:55:18.500 deal with that
00:55:19.420 point he
00:55:20.760 would only deal
00:55:21.360 with other
00:55:21.780 points no
00:55:22.400 matter how
00:55:22.780 many times I
00:55:23.400 continued to
00:55:24.660 make the only
00:55:25.380 one point that
00:55:26.100 mattered
00:55:26.440 now compare
00:55:27.920 that to how
00:55:28.640 Fox News
00:55:29.340 treats the
00:55:30.500 hoax as
00:55:31.200 recently as
00:55:32.360 today all
00:55:33.860 right so it
00:55:35.140 was in the
00:55:35.680 context of
00:55:36.260 some other
00:55:36.680 story they
00:55:37.480 were just
00:55:37.740 giving some
00:55:38.180 context and
00:55:39.680 here's how
00:55:40.160 Fox News
00:55:41.200 and one of
00:55:41.640 their articles
00:55:42.100 on their
00:55:42.440 online treated
00:55:43.480 it said
00:55:43.920 President
00:55:44.260 Trump quickly
00:55:46.000 condemned
00:55:46.600 white supremacists
00:55:48.000 so that's
00:55:49.500 that's the
00:55:49.900 first sentence
00:55:50.560 from Fox
00:55:51.200 News about
00:55:52.080 the fine
00:55:53.080 people hoax
00:55:53.760 the president
00:55:55.100 quickly condemned
00:55:56.140 white supremacists
00:55:57.340 now you can
00:55:58.200 argue quickly
00:55:59.160 because as I've
00:56:00.560 said many
00:56:01.220 times everything
00:56:02.580 good should
00:56:03.520 happen sooner
00:56:04.180 no exception
00:56:05.700 if it was a
00:56:07.000 good thing to
00:56:07.560 condemn them
00:56:08.160 you can't be
00:56:09.460 quick enough
00:56:10.100 so you could
00:56:10.740 argue about
00:56:11.160 quickly but I
00:56:12.160 don't think
00:56:12.460 that's a big
00:56:12.960 big point
00:56:13.620 and then it
00:56:15.680 said while
00:56:16.940 noting that
00:56:17.780 not everyone
00:56:18.500 protesting the
00:56:19.320 statue removal
00:56:20.140 was necessarily
00:56:21.380 a neo-nazi
00:56:22.440 or white
00:56:22.920 supremacist
00:56:23.620 that's fair
00:56:24.720 that's exactly
00:56:25.960 what he did
00:56:26.500 he noted
00:56:27.080 that not all
00:56:28.060 the protesters
00:56:28.700 were there
00:56:29.260 for because
00:56:30.080 they were
00:56:30.300 neo-nazi
00:56:30.840 or white
00:56:31.220 supremacists
00:56:31.740 and then it
00:56:33.080 says however
00:56:33.620 his comments
00:56:34.560 were widely
00:56:35.420 misinterpreted
00:56:36.440 and then it
00:56:37.300 links to
00:56:38.000 Steve Cortez
00:56:39.500 article describing
00:56:40.620 how it was
00:56:41.160 misinterpreted as
00:56:42.520 praising white
00:56:43.140 supremacists
00:56:43.780 galvanizing
00:56:45.220 antifa and
00:56:45.940 bolstering its
00:56:46.580 momentum
00:56:46.980 blah blah
00:56:47.480 so Fox
00:56:49.380 News reports
00:56:50.220 this exactly
00:56:51.140 right
00:56:51.600 exactly right
00:56:53.340 they showed
00:56:54.840 what he said
00:56:55.300 about white
00:56:56.000 supremacists
00:56:56.820 they showed
00:56:58.080 basically they
00:56:59.720 showed the
00:57:00.060 whole context
00:57:00.780 so
00:57:03.580 now you go
00:57:05.740 over to CNN
00:57:06.300 and I saw
00:57:08.120 if you look
00:57:10.860 at the
00:57:11.140 individual
00:57:11.680 videos
00:57:12.660 if you go
00:57:13.200 on social
00:57:14.320 media
00:57:14.680 you're going
00:57:15.280 to see lots
00:57:16.220 of videos
00:57:16.760 especially if
00:57:17.660 you have any
00:57:18.160 kind of
00:57:18.520 Trump supporters
00:57:19.720 as followers
00:57:20.400 you can see
00:57:21.120 lots of
00:57:21.540 videos
00:57:21.920 of the
00:57:23.120 protesters
00:57:23.660 beating up
00:57:24.480 other people
00:57:25.900 shopkeepers
00:57:27.320 protesters
00:57:28.480 beating up
00:57:29.180 some white
00:57:30.020 guy who
00:57:30.700 was standing
00:57:31.160 on the
00:57:31.500 sidelines
00:57:32.160 shopkeepers
00:57:33.500 pulling
00:57:34.240 somebody
00:57:34.600 out of
00:57:34.860 a truck
00:57:35.480 I'm sorry
00:57:36.620 protesters
00:57:37.140 pulling somebody
00:57:37.900 out of a
00:57:38.200 truck
00:57:38.420 so on
00:57:39.840 social media
00:57:40.520 I'm getting
00:57:41.780 this non-stop
00:57:42.700 diet
00:57:43.240 of protesters
00:57:44.540 being violent
00:57:45.800 against people
00:57:46.740 who are not
00:57:47.540 protesters
00:57:48.000 on CNN
00:57:49.560 they've got
00:57:51.280 this one
00:57:51.760 video
00:57:52.220 of a cop
00:57:54.320 beating up
00:57:54.880 a black
00:57:55.260 woman
00:57:55.600 and you
00:57:58.780 can't tell
00:57:59.320 if she was
00:57:59.780 resisting arrest
00:58:00.980 I mean he was
00:58:01.640 punching her
00:58:02.240 in the face
00:58:02.760 which I'm
00:58:03.320 assuming was
00:58:03.980 police abuse
00:58:05.620 but
00:58:06.660 that was
00:58:09.600 the one
00:58:10.000 thing that
00:58:10.620 CNN decided
00:58:11.480 to run
00:58:11.980 while the
00:58:14.420 country is on
00:58:15.100 fire
00:58:15.520 they looked
00:58:16.900 at all
00:58:17.260 these videos
00:58:17.960 of people
00:58:18.420 behaving badly
00:58:19.280 and the one
00:58:20.300 they picked
00:58:20.700 out is the
00:58:21.260 one that
00:58:21.500 would make
00:58:21.860 it worse
00:58:22.600 it's the
00:58:23.620 only one
00:58:24.080 the only one
00:58:25.060 that would
00:58:25.320 make the
00:58:25.720 violence worse
00:58:26.620 was that
00:58:27.660 one video
00:58:28.380 everything else
00:58:29.980 would be more
00:58:31.120 of a caution
00:58:31.700 to say
00:58:32.120 oh we've
00:58:32.460 gone too
00:58:32.800 far
00:58:33.140 now we
00:58:34.080 gotta
00:58:34.240 slow down
00:58:36.500 and be less
00:58:36.980 violent
00:58:37.320 they showed
00:58:37.800 the only one
00:58:38.460 that would
00:58:38.680 make it worse
00:58:39.340 amazingly
00:58:40.900 you're thinking
00:58:43.980 of a different
00:58:44.680 video in
00:58:45.380 the comments
00:58:46.580 there was a
00:58:47.180 different video
00:58:47.820 of a
00:58:48.520 black woman
00:58:49.940 punching a
00:58:50.820 white cop
00:58:51.420 and then a
00:58:52.080 black cop
00:58:52.820 punched the
00:58:53.820 black woman
00:58:54.440 that's one
00:58:55.380 video
00:58:55.760 there's a
00:58:56.400 separate video
00:58:57.040 on CNN
00:58:57.580 of two
00:58:59.120 cops
00:58:59.580 arresting a
00:59:00.480 couple
00:59:00.780 and
00:59:02.020 you couldn't
00:59:03.020 tell their
00:59:03.340 ethnicities
00:59:04.020 of either
00:59:04.540 the cops
00:59:05.040 or the
00:59:05.260 couple
00:59:05.520 because it
00:59:06.780 was sort
00:59:06.980 of dark
00:59:07.380 and far
00:59:07.940 away
00:59:08.160 but then
00:59:09.060 one of the
00:59:09.480 cops ends
00:59:09.960 up punching
00:59:10.680 the wife
00:59:11.280 who was
00:59:11.680 resisting
00:59:12.140 arrest
00:59:12.660 so
00:59:13.660 I'm not
00:59:15.500 defending
00:59:16.020 the cop
00:59:16.600 I'm just
00:59:18.380 saying that
00:59:18.900 that's the
00:59:19.580 one they
00:59:19.920 pick
00:59:20.240 amazing
00:59:21.800 so
00:59:24.360 singer
00:59:26.480 Lana Del Rey
00:59:27.720 posted some
00:59:29.240 video on
00:59:29.860 Instagram
00:59:30.340 of looters
00:59:31.620 so it was
00:59:32.820 just video
00:59:33.620 that you're
00:59:33.960 seeing everywhere
00:59:34.640 of looters
00:59:35.420 what do you
00:59:36.600 think happened
00:59:37.280 when Lana Del Rey
00:59:38.640 posted just
00:59:40.000 video of
00:59:40.620 looters looting
00:59:41.360 just like
00:59:41.860 everybody else
00:59:42.340 is posting
00:59:42.800 turns out
00:59:44.260 there was a
00:59:44.660 big backlash
00:59:45.580 from her
00:59:47.640 fans who
00:59:48.380 thought that
00:59:48.900 she was
00:59:49.280 showing the
00:59:49.860 faces of
00:59:50.580 looters and
00:59:51.220 that would
00:59:51.460 get them
00:59:51.740 in trouble
00:59:52.100 that's right
00:59:53.860 she had to
00:59:54.840 take down
00:59:55.320 her post
00:59:56.000 because her
00:59:57.920 post had the
00:59:58.580 faces of
00:59:59.260 looters and
01:00:00.020 those looters
01:00:00.620 might get in
01:00:01.220 trouble and
01:00:02.560 she took it
01:00:03.000 down
01:00:03.260 there's no
01:00:06.200 I don't
01:00:06.480 have anything
01:00:06.920 to say
01:00:07.260 about that
01:00:07.800 but
01:00:10.080 there are
01:00:11.880 a lot
01:00:12.120 of fans
01:00:12.600 who are
01:00:12.920 willing to
01:00:13.380 say that
01:00:13.780 they were
01:00:14.120 supporting
01:00:14.840 looters
01:00:16.160 destroying
01:00:16.900 innocent
01:00:18.340 people's
01:00:18.840 property
01:00:19.180 which is
01:00:19.820 shocking
01:00:20.620 it's
01:00:21.520 shocking
01:00:22.000 alright
01:00:22.740 that
01:00:28.740 is the
01:00:31.140 big news
01:00:31.580 of the
01:00:31.820 day
01:00:32.040 now I
01:00:33.740 think we're
01:00:34.080 all having
01:00:34.480 the same
01:00:34.960 weird reaction
01:00:35.680 to the
01:00:36.340 coronavirus
01:00:36.920 situation
01:00:37.800 that
01:00:39.300 weren't we
01:00:40.460 having some
01:00:40.960 kind of a
01:00:41.620 pandemic
01:00:42.240 problem or
01:00:43.340 something that
01:00:43.920 just completely
01:00:44.640 is out of
01:00:45.080 the news
01:00:45.500 in two
01:00:47.220 weeks
01:00:47.580 we're going
01:00:48.060 to learn
01:00:48.340 a lot
01:00:49.000 about
01:00:50.120 how dangerous
01:00:51.420 it is to
01:00:52.040 have a lot
01:00:52.440 of people
01:00:52.720 in one
01:00:53.060 place
01:00:53.440 so we
01:00:55.500 should see
01:00:56.020 either a
01:00:56.660 gigantic
01:00:57.060 spike
01:00:57.720 in COVID
01:00:59.340 cases
01:00:59.880 or what if
01:01:01.540 we don't
01:01:02.180 what if
01:01:03.220 we don't
01:01:04.220 because you
01:01:04.800 know a lot
01:01:05.120 of the people
01:01:05.520 protesting
01:01:06.040 were young
01:01:06.540 people and
01:01:07.460 they're not
01:01:08.000 exactly the
01:01:08.660 most at
01:01:09.080 risk
01:01:09.460 what if
01:01:10.820 we don't
01:01:11.380 because if
01:01:12.360 we don't
01:01:12.820 see anything
01:01:13.420 that looks
01:01:13.820 like a big
01:01:14.560 spike in
01:01:15.240 COVID cases
01:01:16.220 I've got a
01:01:17.240 feeling that
01:01:18.180 at least in
01:01:20.740 terms of
01:01:21.120 safety we're
01:01:21.800 back
01:01:22.160 how can we
01:01:27.440 fix this
01:01:28.140 Scott
01:01:28.880 well it
01:01:29.780 depends what
01:01:30.240 you're fixing
01:01:30.780 my suggestion
01:01:32.080 for the
01:01:33.080 president
01:01:33.480 is to say
01:01:34.820 the protests
01:01:35.640 are over
01:01:36.160 you made
01:01:36.740 your point
01:01:37.280 bring me
01:01:38.640 your suggestions
01:01:39.380 I think if
01:01:41.460 he did that
01:01:41.940 it'd be over
01:01:42.360 tomorrow
01:01:42.760 I don't think
01:01:44.400 he's going to
01:01:44.780 do it
01:01:45.200 I don't
01:01:46.080 know why
01:01:46.520 I mean we
01:01:46.980 don't know
01:01:47.280 why he's
01:01:47.660 missing in
01:01:48.100 action
01:01:48.380 if I had
01:01:49.980 to hazard
01:01:51.320 a guess
01:01:52.080 of why the
01:01:53.460 president is
01:01:54.120 a little bit
01:01:54.640 low profile
01:01:55.380 it's either
01:01:56.740 a combination
01:01:57.460 of he doesn't
01:01:58.220 want to make
01:01:58.620 it worse
01:01:59.140 and I do
01:01:59.940 think that's
01:02:00.400 a risk
01:02:00.860 and that
01:02:02.200 would be
01:02:02.740 I'm not sure
01:02:03.860 I would
01:02:04.120 criticize that
01:02:04.960 because he
01:02:05.760 just might
01:02:06.260 think it
01:02:06.900 would make
01:02:07.200 it worse
01:02:07.620 and he
01:02:09.180 might be
01:02:09.460 right
01:02:09.760 but the
01:02:12.180 other possibility
01:02:12.860 is that
01:02:13.280 there's
01:02:13.520 something
01:02:13.820 brewing
01:02:14.240 I don't
01:02:15.940 think you
01:02:16.220 can rule
01:02:16.580 that out
01:02:17.180 and by
01:02:18.260 the something
01:02:18.820 brewing I
01:02:19.440 mean something
01:02:20.240 international
01:02:20.880 so don't be
01:02:23.020 surprised if
01:02:24.660 all the
01:02:25.340 coronavirus stuff
01:02:26.420 plus the
01:02:27.140 riots has
01:02:28.600 made at least
01:02:29.360 one of our
01:02:29.960 adversaries a
01:02:30.960 little adventurous
01:02:31.660 in other words
01:02:32.920 there may be
01:02:33.440 some foreign
01:02:34.140 adversary that
01:02:34.980 has seen
01:02:35.560 that they
01:02:36.560 can take
01:02:36.940 advantage of
01:02:37.540 the situation
01:02:38.180 so it
01:02:39.280 could be
01:02:39.940 just putting
01:02:41.400 all the
01:02:41.680 possibilities out
01:02:42.520 there I'm
01:02:42.980 not predicting
01:02:43.540 it I'm just
01:02:44.080 saying one
01:02:45.080 of the things
01:02:45.600 that I would
01:02:46.040 look at for
01:02:46.880 why the
01:02:47.240 president is
01:02:47.840 a little
01:02:48.060 quiet on
01:02:48.680 this situation
01:02:49.320 might be
01:02:50.600 there's
01:02:51.680 something big
01:02:52.180 brewing
01:02:52.500 we'll see
01:02:53.980 what if
01:03:00.720 they had
01:03:01.000 done something
01:03:01.640 productive I
01:03:02.480 don't know
01:03:02.740 who they
01:03:03.300 is but if
01:03:04.420 you mean the
01:03:04.880 protesters
01:03:05.460 I would say
01:03:06.200 that would
01:03:06.800 be naive
01:03:07.700 because remember
01:03:09.480 you have to
01:03:09.960 look at it
01:03:10.320 from the
01:03:10.660 energy
01:03:11.200 standpoint
01:03:11.960 there's a
01:03:13.080 certain amount
01:03:13.580 of energy
01:03:14.120 that just
01:03:15.180 needed to be
01:03:15.760 released
01:03:16.200 and you
01:03:18.520 can want it
01:03:19.200 not to
01:03:19.680 but it's still
01:03:21.220 going to be
01:03:21.580 released
01:03:22.080 you're wanting
01:03:23.280 it not to be
01:03:23.920 released won't
01:03:24.480 help at all
01:03:25.040 so I think it
01:03:26.880 just had to be
01:03:27.380 released maybe
01:03:28.480 this weekend
01:03:29.160 was enough
01:03:30.880 we'll see
01:03:33.780 civil unrest
01:03:38.900 brewing
01:03:39.480 well it's
01:03:40.720 the weirdest
01:03:41.180 civil unrest
01:03:42.340 in the world
01:03:43.000 because everybody
01:03:43.860 agrees
01:03:44.560 what kind of
01:03:46.300 civil unrest
01:03:46.860 do you have
01:03:47.200 when everybody
01:03:47.620 is on the
01:03:48.060 same side
01:03:48.640 I mean
01:03:49.120 really
01:03:49.440 I don't
01:03:51.140 think you
01:03:51.540 can call
01:03:51.880 the looters
01:03:52.540 or antifa
01:03:53.320 civil unrest
01:03:54.580 black lives
01:03:56.940 matter
01:03:57.240 was trying
01:03:57.840 to be
01:03:58.180 productive
01:03:58.680 and I
01:03:59.920 give them
01:04:00.280 credit for
01:04:00.800 that
01:04:01.100 but if
01:04:03.200 they continue
01:04:03.880 the protest
01:04:04.540 knowing that
01:04:05.160 it attracts
01:04:05.880 antifa looters
01:04:06.820 then I would
01:04:07.940 say it's
01:04:08.320 both stupid
01:04:09.140 and unproductive
01:04:10.960 and their
01:04:12.500 credibility
01:04:13.000 would be
01:04:13.640 basically gone
01:04:14.520 at that point
01:04:15.120 yeah there's
01:04:18.840 some notion
01:04:19.560 that China
01:04:20.160 is trying
01:04:20.480 to make it
01:04:20.920 worse
01:04:21.260 there's some
01:04:21.780 notion that
01:04:22.360 Russia is
01:04:22.920 trying to
01:04:23.340 make it
01:04:23.640 worse
01:04:23.960 poor
01:04:25.580 SpaceX
01:04:26.280 you know
01:04:26.900 Elon Musk's
01:04:28.980 tremendous
01:04:29.900 success
01:04:30.760 at NASA's
01:04:31.760 you know
01:04:31.940 the country's
01:04:32.480 success
01:04:32.780 I guess
01:04:33.200 I'm so
01:04:35.860 it's so
01:04:36.600 so sad
01:04:38.000 that that
01:04:38.360 got overshadowed
01:04:39.460 by the bad
01:04:41.060 events
01:04:41.440 because that
01:04:42.320 could have
01:04:42.600 been just
01:04:42.940 amazing
01:04:43.380 I mean
01:04:44.040 it was
01:04:44.360 amazing
01:04:44.820 all right
01:04:50.920 that's all
01:04:52.720 I got going
01:04:53.160 for now
01:04:53.600 and I
01:04:54.040 will talk
01:04:54.460 to you
01:04:54.920 maybe
01:04:55.760 tonight
01:04:56.660 what is
01:04:57.520 today
01:04:57.880 what's
01:04:59.040 the date
01:04:59.380 today
01:04:59.740 oh
01:05:01.680 today's
01:05:03.320 the first
01:05:03.860 I did
01:05:07.320 promise you
01:05:08.060 that I was
01:05:09.020 going to do
01:05:09.420 the evening
01:05:10.040 podcasts
01:05:11.540 the evening
01:05:12.680 periscopes
01:05:13.360 until June
01:05:14.560 1st
01:05:15.120 so I
01:05:18.180 may not
01:05:18.660 be here
01:05:19.080 tonight
01:05:19.500 because I
01:05:21.400 got to tell
01:05:21.820 you that
01:05:22.140 doing two
01:05:22.780 of these
01:05:23.160 a day
01:05:23.560 is really
01:05:24.860 really hard
01:05:25.560 not hard
01:05:26.940 in terms of
01:05:27.420 the content
01:05:28.040 hard in terms
01:05:29.620 of what it
01:05:30.060 does to my
01:05:30.540 day
01:05:30.840 because I'm
01:05:31.500 always getting
01:05:32.020 ready for one
01:05:32.660 and then I go to
01:05:33.200 sleep and then I'm
01:05:33.760 getting ready for
01:05:34.400 one
01:05:34.640 so I may
01:05:38.400 take my leave
01:05:39.160 tonight if you
01:05:39.860 don't see me on
01:05:40.640 Periscope tonight
01:05:41.460 it's because I
01:05:42.300 decided to take
01:05:43.080 the night off
01:05:43.760 if events go
01:05:46.160 bad tonight
01:05:46.860 I might be back
01:05:48.520 on just because
01:05:49.280 there's something
01:05:49.700 to talk about
01:05:50.480 but I feel
01:05:52.880 like we made
01:05:53.400 it to June
01:05:53.860 1st
01:05:55.080 can we have
01:05:56.560 a little
01:05:57.040 standing ovation
01:05:57.980 for all of us
01:05:59.940 to get to
01:06:00.460 June 1st
01:06:01.520 I'll give you
01:06:03.000 one
01:06:03.300 standing
01:06:05.340 ovation
01:06:05.780 you know
01:06:11.820 because when
01:06:12.240 we were looking
01:06:12.740 at this in
01:06:13.320 February
01:06:13.880 June was a
01:06:16.600 long ways
01:06:17.480 away
01:06:17.880 June was a
01:06:20.320 long ways
01:06:21.240 away
01:06:21.620 but ladies
01:06:23.020 and gentlemen
01:06:23.580 and anything
01:06:25.740 anything else
01:06:26.700 you want to
01:06:27.060 designate
01:06:27.520 yourself
01:06:27.920 it's June
01:06:30.060 I think we
01:06:32.040 beat the
01:06:32.440 coronavirus
01:06:32.920 sure
01:06:35.140 we've got
01:06:35.800 this little
01:06:36.500 protest thing
01:06:37.700 going on
01:06:38.300 but that's
01:06:39.560 not going to
01:06:39.900 last forever
01:06:40.520 it's June
01:06:42.500 and it's
01:06:44.040 time
01:06:44.480 to get the
01:06:45.400 country back
01:06:46.060 to where it
01:06:47.040 belongs
01:06:47.460 so I would
01:06:49.240 expect a good
01:06:49.900 summer
01:06:50.240 and an amazing
01:06:51.160 end of the
01:06:52.720 year
01:06:52.960 I think this
01:06:53.560 business
01:06:54.020 this ugliness
01:06:54.880 is you know
01:06:55.700 it's going to
01:06:56.240 linger for a
01:06:56.700 little while
01:06:57.060 but we're
01:06:57.420 talking a
01:06:57.900 week or
01:06:58.240 two
01:06:58.420 we're not
01:06:58.760 talking
01:06:59.080 forever
01:06:59.420 I think
01:07:01.880 we made
01:07:02.240 it
01:07:02.540 I think
01:07:04.080 we made
01:07:04.480 it
01:07:04.760 at least
01:07:05.940 in terms
01:07:06.380 of the
01:07:06.660 coronavirus
01:07:07.060 for those
01:07:08.860 of you
01:07:09.200 who are
01:07:09.500 getting
01:07:09.740 super tense
01:07:10.540 about the
01:07:11.260 protests
01:07:11.880 I can
01:07:13.200 almost
01:07:13.660 guarantee
01:07:14.140 that we're
01:07:15.780 not going to
01:07:16.160 have them
01:07:16.500 next week
01:07:17.180 because the
01:07:18.320 energy will
01:07:18.880 have you
01:07:19.840 know
01:07:20.040 filtered out
01:07:21.040 by then
01:07:21.440 so you
01:07:22.480 might have
01:07:22.780 a few
01:07:23.020 more days
01:07:23.440 of it
01:07:23.740 it might
01:07:24.120 be bad
01:07:24.580 but I
01:07:24.880 wouldn't
01:07:25.080 worry
01:07:25.300 about it
01:07:25.620 being the
01:07:25.960 end of
01:07:26.220 civilization
01:07:26.880 because we
01:07:27.760 don't want
01:07:28.360 that
01:07:28.740 not enough
01:07:29.440 people want
01:07:29.960 that
01:07:30.200 so
01:07:31.260 the
01:07:33.040 applauses
01:07:33.480 are catching
01:07:34.340 up in the
01:07:35.020 comments
01:07:35.840 so thank you
01:07:37.020 for joining
01:07:37.540 me in that
01:07:38.160 mutual round
01:07:39.980 of applause
01:07:41.420 I think
01:07:44.960 we made
01:07:45.320 it
01:07:45.540 I think
01:07:46.460 we got
01:07:46.780 there
01:07:47.080 I think
01:07:48.240 we did
01:07:48.580 it
01:07:48.920 congratulations
01:07:50.380 I will see
01:07:51.940 you at least
01:07:52.740 tomorrow
01:07:53.360 I hope
01:07:54.900 not tonight
01:07:55.580 if I do
01:07:56.920 it means
01:07:58.340 there's trouble
01:07:58.780 tonight
01:07:59.180 let's hope
01:08:00.360 not
