Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1015 Scott Adams： Let's Watch the Peaceful Protestors Have a Polite Chat With De Blasio

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody. Oh, you thought you could get rid of me? No, no. It turns out there's a new crisis.

00:00:20.520 New crisis, new Periscope. And I have to admit that I wasn't going to go live tonight.

00:00:29.000 I told you I was going to phase out after June 1st. I wasn't going to go live tonight,

00:00:34.460 but I saw on Twitter that somebody was looking forward to it tonight. And I thought, oh,

00:00:39.540 somebody's actually looking forward to it. I thought, well, I can't really not do it now.

00:00:46.000 So here I am. So let's talk about some of the things. I saw, first of all, the clips we're

00:00:53.960 seeing on the news, I've got all the news nailed up. So I've got CNN I'm watching and Fox News over

00:00:59.400 there. So I can sort of keep an eye on them. But they don't seem to show any of the good stuff.

00:01:05.360 Have you noticed that? The good stuff meaning anything that's actually in the action. They're

00:01:10.500 they're all standing behind police lines. So I thought I saw on Twitter that the crowd was

00:01:18.620 marching toward Bill de Blasio's residence. Is that true? And it's a peaceful crowd, right?

00:01:27.400 Why would a peaceful crowd need to go to Bill de Blasio's residence?

00:01:32.660 Right? Doesn't Bill de Blasio support them even more than they support themselves? Why would

00:01:45.280 they be going to his place? Just because he's the only thing in town? I don't know. Speaking

00:01:52.180 of town, I just did a little tour of my town, just drove through to see if there's any damage

00:01:59.360 yet. And some of the local shop owners apparently don't watch the news that much. Because they put

00:02:07.300 up the big wood plywood over the windows. So that part's good. So they've watched the news enough

00:02:15.120 to know that their storefronts are at risk. And so some of them have boarded up. But here's the

00:02:22.780 funny part, which tells me they don't watch the news. They decided to be extra safe. So they spray

00:02:28.840 painted on their own plywood that they support Black Lives Matter and just very pro-Black Lives

00:02:37.000 Matter. So the whole storefront is like pro-Black Lives Matter. To which I say, I don't think

00:02:45.000 they've been watching the news. That's what happens when you only watch a little bit of

00:02:49.820 news. If you watch a little bit of news, you think, I got it. I'll just say I'm on their

00:02:55.500 side. That should work. Now, I happened to see this immediately after watching a little

00:03:01.860 viral video. You can see it in my Twitter feed from tonight. There was this young white kid.

00:03:08.240 He looked like maybe a college student, roughly that age, 20-ish maybe. And he's looking out

00:03:15.600 a window of what looks to be his apartment. I think it's in New York City, but I'm not sure,

00:03:19.940 in an urban area. And he's watching the protesters go by. And he might be on, I don't know, second or

00:03:25.940 third floor or something. And he's looking out the window with his phone and everything. And he's

00:03:30.800 thumbs up because he's very pro-protesters. He believes in their cause. He's like, thumbs up,

00:03:37.740 guys. Thumbs up. And he's filming with his camera. As he's filming, one of the protesters turns and hurls a

00:03:45.760 brick through the window right next to him. It just breaks the whole window. And he's like,

00:03:53.320 what the, what the hell? And he runs back to the window that's not yet broken. And he's trying to

00:04:00.000 plead with the protesters who, of course, can't hear him. He's just a white guy in a window. And

00:04:04.880 he's like, I'm on your side. I'm on your side. And about the second time he said, I'm on your side.

00:04:12.940 You see one of the other protesters reach back and you think to yourself, no, this isn't going to be

00:04:21.380 as good as I hope it is. Is it? Because that first protester had a really good arm. I mean,

00:04:28.860 it couldn't have been that easy to hit the exact window he was aiming for from the street. It

00:04:34.420 wasn't an easy shot. There was some distance involved. And I see this other protester reach

00:04:39.140 back and I'm thinking, no, probably not. It goes right through the window that the guy with the,

00:04:46.520 that the guy with the thumbs up is doing. Now it looked like it didn't hurt him. Yeah. I wouldn't

00:04:52.700 be laughing if he got hurt, but watching, watching the protesters or whoever, the looters, I don't know,

00:05:01.000 whoever, but they were in that, they were in the line with the protesters. But, but watching them

00:05:06.180 take out one of their own was the funniest thing you'll ever see in your life. Because

00:05:11.020 and this is the point, the guy, the guy in the window who was doing thumbs up, he thought that

00:05:17.900 siding with them would matter. He thought that would matter. The people in my town, they also think that

00:05:26.340 it matters whose side they're on. No, it matters if you have a big window. If you don't have a big

00:05:33.960 window, you might be okay. If you have a big window and they happen to be nearby, it doesn't really

00:05:42.460 matter what side you're on. And if you've missed that, you've missed the show. So I was trying to

00:05:51.920 think of all the things that could solve this problem. Now the, the conventional wisdom is that

00:05:58.140 the only way to solve it is with massive, but nonviolent means, meaning lots of arrests and

00:06:05.420 presence and maybe some tear gas, maybe some water, I don't know, whatever they use these days,

00:06:11.300 but not, not deadly force. But I don't know.

00:06:18.500 I see something else is on fire in New York City, but I don't know exactly

00:06:23.000 if that's going to work.

00:06:30.520 Thanks LA, Jen. I only came on here because I saw your tweet.

00:06:34.160 And so what could possibly stop it? Well, maybe it could be this massive application of force,

00:06:45.360 but it seems to me that Antifa can simply reconstitute as often as it wants. So there

00:06:52.720 is kind of like a terrorist group. It wouldn't matter if you caught one of the cells, there'll

00:06:57.340 just be another cell tomorrow. So I don't know that you could ever use nonviolent

00:07:02.740 means to stop it because they don't care about any of that. None of that seems to be even,

00:07:10.260 even slightly, you know, influencing them. So what else can you do? You can wait it out.

00:07:18.100 If you wait it out though, I would imagine they would just pick town after town after town and get

00:07:23.780 rid of them. But you know, I always say that life is not a slippery slope, that things only

00:07:32.320 slip until there's a counterforce and there's always a counterforce. So what we're waiting

00:07:36.880 for is a counterforce. Now it could be that the counterforce is the U.S. military. It could

00:07:43.420 be, but of course, you know, there needs to be some coordination with the locals. But it

00:07:50.080 could be that we just send in lots of scary looking soldiers, again, nonviolently, and the

00:07:57.240 show of forces enough. But I don't think it would be, because wouldn't they just plan another

00:08:03.480 one later in a different place? So I don't see that working either. So what would work?

00:08:10.860 You can imagine some charismatic leader on the left talking people down, can't you? No,

00:08:18.000 you can't. You can't think of that at all. There's nobody on the left who would have the ability

00:08:23.100 and the willingness to talk them out of it, you know, and just say, hey, you know, even

00:08:28.020 Oprah, I don't think Oprah can do it at this point. It's beyond all of that. So they can't

00:08:32.480 be talked out of it, and they can't be convinced with non-lethal force. And because I'm on a

00:08:39.300 public social network, I'm certainly not going to advocate violence. So let me say that as

00:08:46.480 clearly as possible, I don't advocate violence. But predicting violence is different. And I

00:08:55.700 believe that all problems go until people decide to take whatever steps are necessary to solve

00:09:02.080 it. And that's probably going to be violent. I can't see another option. So again, I'm not

00:09:10.100 promoting violence. I'm predicting. Now, there are a few ways that this could go. The lowest

00:09:17.180 loss of life would be to kill one person in spectacular fashion. I don't think that's going

00:09:25.980 to happen, right? And I don't promote it. I'm just saying that that could work. You can imagine,

00:09:32.300 for example, a vigilante sniper. Imagine a vigilante sniper who just takes out looters,

00:09:41.200 but nobody else. If a vigilante sniper, and again, I hope this doesn't happen, but you have

00:09:47.820 to assume that violence is down the road. There's going to be a violent response. We don't know

00:09:52.780 what nature it would take, but we hope it takes the nature if it takes any at all. You'd rather

00:09:57.800 it didn't take any violent nature at all. But if that has to happen because of the other

00:10:02.640 ways just can't work, they're just systemically, they're impossible to work because the other

00:10:08.780 side has a response to everything. So if violence is the only solution in the end, you want it

00:10:16.660 to be the smallest amount. What would be the smallest amount? Probably a sniper. Ideally,

00:10:25.500 a sniper who was never caught. Now, here's the weird part about this. If you remember,

00:10:32.860 there was once a, you know, some citizen sniper who was just killing people randomly years

00:10:37.680 ago, and it was like the biggest problem in the country. Like it practically shut down the

00:10:42.740 country because people didn't want to go anywhere because it was actually some crazy sniper on the

00:10:47.860 loose. But so it's, you know, it's a big problem. You don't want a crazy sniper on the

00:10:53.540 loose. But here's the weird thing. As Michael Knowles said on his video, I think it was this

00:11:00.820 morning, he said, who knew that protests would cure coronavirus? Like who knew that? And the

00:11:09.320 weird thing is that it really did take one disaster. It didn't really cure it, but you know what I

00:11:14.520 mean? In the joke sense, it cured it. And I saw a report, I don't know if it's verified yet,

00:11:22.760 that there were some pipe bombs hidden for use later tonight at one of the locations. Now,

00:11:31.860 what if that's true? There were pipe bombs. Do you think those pipe bombs were only meant

00:11:38.120 to kill whoever they wanted to kill or only meant to blow up a building? If there are multiple pipe

00:11:46.740 bombs, a bunch of innocent protesters are going to get killed just by being in the wrong place at the

00:11:53.100 wrong time. It kind of stands to reason if you have enough people and enough pipe bombs,

00:11:58.640 innocent people get killed. Now, that could be the wake-up call.

00:12:01.720 It could be that there's an accident by some of the bad actors that killed too many of the people

00:12:08.740 who were marching with them, and then it just changes the narrative instantly. So that would

00:12:13.460 be a much larger loss of life. So you hope that one doesn't happen, of course, or any of the ones

00:12:19.840 that have loss of life. What else could do it? An Islamic terror attack could get it done. Again, 1.00

00:12:29.580 I'm not promoting an Islamic terror attack, obviously, but if Islamic terrorists said,

00:12:38.180 oh, this is the perfect time to attack because there's so many people in one place and, you know,

00:12:42.780 there's police there. It's just sort of the perfect place. If it happened, you hope it doesn't,

00:12:48.420 it would solve the protests. So it would be this weird situation of, of like one, you know,

00:12:55.580 one horrible thing could solve the other horrible thing, but then you've got to solve the next

00:13:00.520 horrible thing, and you can only solve that with another horrible thing. So it's a weird dimension

00:13:06.100 we're in where only horrible things are solutions, but they create their own problems.

00:13:10.620 I don't, does anybody know what the death count is so far from the protests? Do you know the death

00:13:19.760 count? The death count, I only, I know of two African-American men who were killed, one in Omaha and

00:13:32.200 then a security guard somewhere else. So we know that at least two black men in America died while

00:13:41.340 protesters were protesting. What? Because we all agree. Now, let me ask you this. Are the

00:13:49.960 protesters protesting for justice? I haven't heard that. I don't think the protesters are protesting

00:13:58.840 for justice. They're going to say that, of course. But when you're talking about the other three cops,

00:14:04.500 and they need them to be arrested and tried, or there will be no peace, I don't think they're

00:14:09.820 asking for justice. Because if they were asking for justice, it would look more like this. All right,

00:14:15.780 if you're not going to charge these guys, you need to explain why. I mean, and it really needs to be

00:14:21.560 good. But if it's explained, and the evidence is available to the public, and the public sees it,

00:14:31.040 and they say to themselves, oh, I really want those other three cops to be charged, but I also wouldn't

00:14:37.880 want to be charged with evidence this week if it were me. So it looks like there's a setup here where

00:14:46.300 the only thing that can fix an unfair, let's say, justice-slash-police system is another unfair justice-slash-police

00:15:00.380 system in which people, in this case, the three cops who were not charged. And again, this is speculative

00:15:06.880 because we don't know all the evidence, but just work with me through the thinking of this. It looks like the only

00:15:13.820 thing that would stop the protesters is to arrest people who you would not arrest if not for the

00:15:20.940 protests, meaning people for whom the evidence is too weak to bring a successful case, even if you

00:15:28.720 think they're up to no good, or they did something bad. If you wouldn't charge regular people under

00:15:37.100 regular circumstances with evidence this week, if we do go ahead and charge these three cops,

00:15:43.660 for the purpose of social cohesion, we will have used really a gigantic injustice, again, justice

00:15:56.040 meaning using our legal system in a consistent way. It's not the kind of justice that people are

00:16:03.060 thinking of that's more revenge-y. That's the justice they're thinking of. But if you're being

00:16:08.780 consistent, treating everybody the same under the law, those three people probably would not be

00:16:14.800 charged if not for this situation. So if they do get charged, and that's the only way to defuse this

00:16:21.540 thing, it will be one of the greatest tragedies in American justice under the assumption that there's

00:16:32.280 a reason they weren't charged in the first place. We haven't heard the argument, so I'm getting ahead of

00:16:37.280 myself a little bit. They might get charged, and it might come out later that there was such a good

00:16:43.180 reason that we haven't heard. In other words, evidence we haven't heard. Not reason we haven't

00:16:48.340 heard, but evidence. We'll see. But so far, the peaceful protesters have killed several people

00:16:58.100 and injured 50 people at the White House. So you would have to say that their credibility is

00:17:07.420 sort of zero-ish at this point, wouldn't you? Murder hornets. Somebody's suggesting the murder 0.96

00:17:15.320 hornets are our only solution. It's not a bad idea. There's a theoretical number of murder hornets

00:17:23.240 that would clear any city street. And then maybe the hornets die anyway because they don't have much

00:17:29.880 to eat in the city. Huh. You know, the fun, not the funny thing, but the frustrating thing about this

00:17:38.540 is the reason it's not already solved, obviously, the reason it's not already solved is that nobody

00:17:45.100 knows the solution. Nobody knows one. If we knew one, somebody would do it. So whatever the solution

00:17:51.200 is, it's probably going to be ugly. And I'd be really amazed if there's not a lot of deaths

00:17:56.640 tonight. Speaking of deaths, again, we're not hoping that happens, just in case anybody's wondering

00:18:02.980 about that. So it looks like the protesters are going to willfully ignore the curfew, which

00:18:12.420 guarantees that the looters come in behind them because there'll be lots of cover and they'll

00:18:16.900 outnumber the police. So CNN is reporting that there are fine people marching with the looters

00:18:25.500 and the domestic terrorists. Do you think that fine people could ever be marching with

00:18:30.920 looters and domestic terrorists? Because in this case, they're actually marching with them. In the

00:18:36.480 case of the Charlottesville fine people hoax, the fine people weren't actually marching. They were just

00:18:42.500 showed up. As soon as they showed up, the cops said, you can't be here. And they herded them

00:18:47.520 away. So the president didn't know, but they didn't get to do much protesting.

00:18:55.100 All right. So I swear I thought I imagined it, but I turned on CNN and I think they were trying

00:19:02.500 to blame it on right-wing white supremacists. That's really happening, right? Am I imagining

00:19:09.780 the CNN is trying to put this on right-wing operatives? That is just the craziest thing ever. Now,

00:19:18.700 it could be that there are a number of outside people, but if there were many far-right agitators

00:19:26.500 there, I'd be certainly surprised, very surprised. Apparently Trump's disapproval level hit an all-time

00:19:35.840 high for any president ever. So he's got that record. The most disapproval of any president ever.

00:19:44.760 Now, I think, and you've heard a number of people say this, that this situation has lost him a lot of

00:19:51.620 support. And I've been very critical of it as well. But it's not over. This will be judged by things that

00:20:01.360 haven't happened yet. So let me say that again. How history and voters judge what's going on with

00:20:08.660 the protest will be entirely based on things that haven't happened yet.

00:20:17.220 David Dorn is the African-American gentleman who got murdered. Is that correct? David Dorn?

00:20:23.540 There's some social media action around the fact that CNN won't report it at all. How would you like

00:20:31.420 to work at CNN and know that it's widely reported that an African-American man was killed during looting

00:20:39.820 that came with these protests, and they're not reporting it? How would you like to work for that

00:20:45.000 network and know that a black man got murdered, but because he was a policeman, it didn't get reported?

00:20:50.960 Or he was a security guard, I think. How could you work for that network? I mean, wouldn't you be

00:20:57.940 like updating your page every minute and say, okay, I know I'm working for a network that tells real

00:21:04.040 news because people who work there probably believe that. And they're like, I know they're going to

00:21:08.680 report this. And then you refresh your screen and nope. Nope. What do you do? How do you explain that away?

00:21:17.760 Do you just say, oh, I guess that's not the news? I don't know. I don't know how you

00:21:24.100 rationalize that. Joe Biden had a good solution for training the police to have less violent or less

00:21:32.520 fatal interactions. His idea is that the police should be trained to wing a suspect in the leg if the

00:21:40.040 suspect is coming at them with a knife. So that's Joe Biden's very constructive suggestion.

00:21:48.780 We'll retrain the police to be leg shooters. And I'm thinking they might have to change out some of

00:21:55.700 the targets at the target range because the leg's a little smaller than a torso. So you're going to

00:22:02.140 want to put like just a leg up there. So it should be maybe just a leg and a foot, and that would be 0.87

00:22:08.020 your target. And of course, when you shoot, you don't want to cripple somebody for life. Duh. So you're

00:22:13.300 going to have to go to the target range and practice shooting around the perimeter of the leg, just so you

00:22:17.880 wing him. Now, Joe Biden thinks that that's a perfectly practical plan. And I think it could be. I think

00:22:27.400 that you're mocking him too quickly. Because you're probably thinking to yourself, Scott, it's kind of hard to

00:22:34.020 hit a leg of somebody who's running at you with a knife and wing them. Maybe I'd go for the torso. 0.93

00:22:41.800 It's a bigger target. But I don't think you're thinking in terms of actual tactics. If you're

00:22:48.820 trying to hit the edge of somebody's leg who's running at you with a knife, you don't want to aim

00:22:54.840 at the edge because that wouldn't give you enough margin for error. Just a little bit off to the left,

00:23:00.020 you miss entirely. So if you're trying to shoot somebody in the legs and they're coming at you, 0.98

00:23:06.580 you want to aim for their balls. Because if you aim for the balls and you're a little bit off left 1.00

00:23:11.760 or right, you're still going to get a little leg. If you happen to be a really good shot, well, you get

00:23:18.460 the balls and that will certainly slow them down. And my understanding of medical literature is that 0.82

00:23:25.720 that will make them less aggressive in the future. So the Joe Biden plan for shooting

00:23:31.080 protesters in the leg, which really, you aim for the balls because you don't want that, 0.99

00:23:36.620 you don't want to miss on the left or the right, is a pretty good suggestion. I think that could work. 0.96

00:23:43.160 All right.

00:23:47.620 I can't remember if I talked about this this morning, but it's just blowing my mind. So I'm going to say it

00:23:51.980 again. So Jeff Bezos, as you know, owns not only Amazon, but the Washington Post.

00:23:59.340 The Washington Post, I assume, like most left-leaning anti-Trump publications,

00:24:05.880 might be a little bit forgiving to the violence that we're seeing. Just assuming.

00:24:13.220 Is it coincidence that Jeff Bezos, Amazon, just is watching on television and his news organ

00:24:22.500 is reporting the complete destruction of Amazon's competitors? Amazon just watched and reported

00:24:30.940 on all of its competition being destroyed. So I don't give you investment advice. You really,

00:24:40.500 really should not take investment advice from me. I'm just going to tell you this because

00:24:45.140 it's part of the story, not investment advice. When the riots started and I saw that Antifa was

00:24:56.060 targeting storefronts, I took every dollar of cash I had and bought Amazon stock, which I also bought

00:25:05.040 at the bottom of the crisis, the coronavirus crisis. Now, I'm not saying I'm proud of it.

00:25:14.160 And again, I'm not recommending it because tomorrow, you know, buying one stock is never a good idea,

00:25:19.840 just in general. But I only put in an amount of money that I can afford to lose. And

00:25:26.020 I thought, I think Amazon's going to pull this off. I think Amazon is actually going to destroy all retail

00:25:37.280 business on earth. And it's just going to look like they were reporting on it. I think he's going

00:25:43.860 to pull this off. It'll be the greatest move of any entrepreneur ever. Pure evil, of course. But

00:25:51.180 now, I'm only being a little bit hyperbolic here, in the sense that he is actually making money by

00:26:02.620 watching all of his competitors being destroyed. Because he's got the Washington Post. You know,

00:26:10.620 I don't think it was a plan. I think that would be going too far. It's going too far to say it was a

00:26:15.700 plan. But one wonders how hard the Washington Post is going to try to stop it, given that if they

00:26:23.980 stop it, their parent company makes a lot less money. Now, of course, you assume they're all good

00:26:31.400 people. So their conscious intentions would all be right. I believe that's true. I don't think

00:26:38.200 there's anybody working for the Washington Post, maybe a few of the opinion piece people. But

00:26:44.300 generally speaking, there's nobody there has bad intentions. So I don't think they, you know,

00:26:50.460 plan to be part of an evil plot to destroy retail businesses and enrich Amazon. But it's happening.

00:26:58.920 I mean, they didn't ask to be there, I'm sure, but that's happening. And could this conflict of

00:27:05.800 interest, which is the most extreme conflict I've ever seen, let me ask you this.

00:27:10.300 Have you ever seen more conflict of interest than that? That's about the most conflict of

00:27:19.780 interest you'll ever see. Are you puzzled that the stock market is reaching new highs, even

00:27:29.720 as America is burning? Are you puzzled by why the complete decimation of retail stores in urban

00:27:39.180 areas is not even bothering the stock market a little bit? Does that make sense to you? Do you

00:27:47.840 have a little theory in your head why we're watching on the news the complete destruction

00:27:54.020 of retail and restaurants and basically everything in urban areas that's on the ground floor and the

00:28:03.480 stock market's up? How do you explain that? Have you thought about that? I mean, that's really sort of a

00:28:13.060 puzzle. So I've been thinking about that today. And I have some speculation. I mean, I don't think I know

00:28:18.940 what's going on. But let me toss out a few ideas. One idea is that the stock market is now a safe place to put

00:28:30.560 money. In other words, if you were to look at all the places that you could park your money to be safe,

00:28:36.180 you could put it in the bank. I don't know. Are banks the safest place for money? Not over a certain

00:28:44.680 amount. How about buying gold? It's worked out a number of times. But with digital currency and

00:28:55.060 Bitcoin and China's got their own digital currency, is gold always going to be the place you want to go

00:29:01.800 to for safety? Maybe. Maybe not. But what about the stock market of the United States? I think that

00:29:10.600 investors are using the strategy that that I took on back in 2008 and 2009 when the economy went in the

00:29:18.980 toilet and it looked like everything was just going to be over. That's my DoorDash, so I'll get that in a

00:29:25.720 little bit. So anyway, the point is, let me just make sure there's not somebody standing out there

00:29:34.640 waiting for me. All right, all good. So what was I talking? Oh yeah, stocks. So the point is that it

00:29:45.260 could be that investors are thinking the following. If the U.S. stock market goes down, in other words,

00:29:53.240 the economy in general, it doesn't matter where your money is. You're just in trouble. So it could

00:30:00.560 be that the U.S. stock market has been so resilient for so long that it just looks like the safest place

00:30:06.800 to put money. So it used to be a dangerous place, but now interest rates are basically zero, which probably

00:30:13.580 makes a big difference. The interest rates are zero. So there's no place else to put money that's

00:30:18.780 both safe and could make a little interest and stuff. So that's weird. The other possibility is

00:30:27.980 even more shocking. And let me just, I'll just run it by you. Retail stores are unnecessary.

00:30:38.380 Could be. Take, for example, an ordinary brand store. Can't they sell as much as they want online?

00:30:48.340 I'm not sure the store is even making money because eventually the, you know, eventually the,

00:30:54.960 uh, uh, the landlord eats all of the, uh, profits of the retail that any kind of a retail storefront

00:31:01.900 is going to be marginally profitable at best. So one of the things that might've happened

00:31:07.720 is that smart investors, the people who drive the markets the most, they may have said to themselves,

00:31:13.720 we didn't lose anything because that's what the market's kind of saying. The market is kind

00:31:19.240 of saying that every one of those storefronts didn't have economic value. They might not be

00:31:26.320 wrong. So they had lots of economic value in terms of giving people jobs, but I don't know that they

00:31:31.780 were profitable and the stock market doesn't care so much if the retail worker lost a job, but they

00:31:38.980 would certainly care if profits go up or down for the, for the parent company. So that's just

00:31:44.380 speculating, but it's kind of a puzzle why the stock market is so resilient. I'm glad it is. Uh,

00:31:50.140 apparently Cuomo, uh, is smack talking de Blasio, uh, for being weak. Weakness apparently is not working

00:31:59.660 and we will find out tonight, uh, how far this goes. So my prediction is that ultimately violence

00:32:11.220 is going to happen. You don't want it to happen, but it's probably the only way we get to the other

00:32:15.440 side. You hope that the violence does not come from the police. If the violence came from our

00:32:21.920 military, it would go down a lot better, wouldn't it? If any of the police kill a looter,

00:32:28.160 it's just worse. It doesn't matter what the situation is. It's just worse. If a U S military

00:32:35.380 person takes out a looter, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? If the U S military

00:32:43.600 takes on a looter, because let's say, let's say they brandished a weapon and came at him or something,

00:32:48.900 what are you going to do? I feel like the U S military has so much credibility that people would

00:32:54.920 just, people would just live with it. I think, I think they just live with it. So it could be that

00:33:02.140 the military would need to show some, um, tragic, tragic toughness, let's say something that you

00:33:10.200 wouldn't want anybody to do, but it might happen anyway. All right. That's all I got for now.

00:33:15.360 Uh, that's all I got for now. And, uh, we'll talk to you in the morning.

00:33:24.180 Uh.
