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
