Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1011 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About Antifa and Looters Setting Civil Rights Back a Decade

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 0.99

00:05:15.640 what i thought was amazingly stupid 0.99

00:05:19.680 was doing it now and in that way because it would invite trouble 0.98

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:15:44.640 you know i'm not saying that right 0.96

00:15:47.300 i'm not saying black lives matter 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.59

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 0.98

00:22:37.460 is that a fucked up situation or what 0.96

00:22:40.680 he still has to do it 0.98

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 0.96

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 0.96

00:27:12.920 public 0.55

00:27:13.560 does black lives 0.99

00:27:14.920 matter 0.99

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 0.66

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 0.93

00:29:08.040 freaking 0.99

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 0.85

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 0.97

00:31:43.980 for black 0.98

00:31:44.600 people to

00:31:45.300 persuade other 0.84

00:31:46.220 black people

00:31:46.940 that there's 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.83

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 0.75

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 0.99

00:34:59.960 a black 0.76

00:35:00.260 person in

00:35:00.640 America

00:35:00.880 do you

00:35:01.260 know what 0.97

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 0.96

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 0.99

00:36:33.440 says I'm 0.98

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 0.80

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 0.98

00:37:21.140 black 0.99

00:37:21.540 you can't 0.99

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 0.55

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 0.61

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 0.99

00:40:16.140 black guy 0.81

00:40:16.600 that comes 0.98

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 0.97

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 0.99

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 0.95

00:44:53.000 trash 1.00

00:44:53.560 and I 0.99

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 0.98

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 0.97

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 0.57

00:45:28.200 and he

00:45:28.820 didn't mind

00:45:29.160 the dumpster

00:45:29.620 company 0.93

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 0.96

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 0.97

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 0.67

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 0.92

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 0.99

00:47:53.580 people 1.00

00:47:53.900 beating 1.00

00:47:54.200 their shit 0.99

00:47:54.660 out of 1.00

00:47:54.960 white 0.92

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 0.98

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 0.97

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 0.73

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 0.97

00:51:06.040 liar 0.98

00:51:06.260 in public 0.99

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 0.99

00:51:27.040 a liar 1.00

00:51:27.560 on the 0.99

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 0.98

00:55:48.000 so that's 0.98

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 0.95

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 0.91

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 0.92

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 0.97

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 0.99

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 0.98

00:57:54.880 a black 1.00

00:57:55.260 woman 0.99

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 1.00

00:58:02.240 in the face 0.99

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 1.00

00:58:49.940 punching a 1.00

00:58:50.820 white cop 1.00

00:58:51.420 and then a 0.99

00:58:52.080 black cop 1.00

00:58:52.820 punched the 1.00

00:58:53.820 black woman 1.00

00:58:54.440 that's one 0.96

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 0.93

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 0.98

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 1.00

01:04:08.320 both stupid 1.00

01:04:09.140 and unproductive 1.00

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 0.93

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 0.79

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 0.99

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
