Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1045 Scott Adams： Republicans Being Hunted, Trump Masks, CHOP Stop, Racist Statue Chess

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody. Wow, quite a few people here. Is there something I said? Oh, what a fun day.

00:00:24.200 Today is one of the best days. Sounds like employment numbers are up. Yeah, we'll do the simultaneous

00:00:32.320 step. Let the people pour in here for a moment. Employment numbers are up. CHOP has been dismantled.

00:00:43.540 Ghislaine Maxwell has been apprehended. The economy is starting to scream. Coronavirus

00:00:50.500 deaths are down. Things are opening up. I don't know. Might be good news everywhere.

00:00:59.000 But first, before we get to that, you know what you need to do. You need to grab yourself a

00:01:06.520 cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask of a vessel of any

00:01:10.840 kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the

00:01:17.540 dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. And I think you can see it

00:01:25.440 in the world already. It's already working. It's called the simultaneous step and it happens now. Go!

00:01:34.540 Mmm. Delightful. Sublime. Excellent.

00:01:39.540 And 321 until Scott tells us we are wrong that Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested. Well, I believe she was arrested. I believe she was. So, the simulation has delivered to us once again. Entertainment, it's nonstop. How much do you want to know what Ghislaine Maxwell is going to tell you when she cuts a deal?

00:02:05.740 That the most exciting news day you'll ever have will be this headline. Ghislaine Maxwell cuts a deal.

00:02:16.440 Can you imagine? I don't know if she can. I've got a feeling she may not survive the incarceration process. But we'll see what happens.

00:02:26.340 All right. So, the CHOP was dismantled. The Capitol Hill occupied people or whatever it was.

00:02:37.840 And were you surprised that there was no real violence when they got cleared out?

00:02:43.000 What do you think of that?

00:02:45.120 Have I ever told you about the fake because?

00:02:48.080 So, that's a term I put on it. And it's based on the book Influence by Cialdini, in which he talks about an experiment in which you can prove that people will do things just because you said because.

00:03:02.420 Our brains are wired in a way that when you hear the word, actually just the word, because, your brain says, oh, there's a reason.

00:03:13.120 Because the word because is there.

00:03:15.180 And you can use the word because and then add nonsense after it.

00:03:19.240 And people will still, at least in a statistical way, will be more likely to give you what you want just because you used the word because.

00:03:27.620 Now, I've taken that and I've extended it to the concept that you're not using the word, but you're giving somebody a reason that they wanted a reason to do something.

00:03:38.860 Now, let me let me game this out for you.

00:03:42.580 So, in my opinion, the the mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkin, played this brilliantly.

00:03:49.520 I know most of you are going to disagree with this, but in my opinion, this could not have been played better, honestly.

00:03:58.800 It was one of the most masterful examples of leadership I've ever seen.

00:04:07.740 Now, there's another interpretation which fits the facts just as well.

00:04:13.560 Remember, you got two movies going on here.

00:04:15.580 They both fit the facts because the other the other set of facts would be she didn't care about any of this until they started threatening her own personal residence, at which point she got mad and then police cleared them out.

00:04:30.940 But here's how I see it.

00:04:33.320 And I said this from the start.

00:04:35.420 So from day one, I was on the side of, no, let this play out a little bit.

00:04:40.620 Let it play out a little bit, because if you do it right away, the energy is too high and you just cause, you know, the opportunity for more death and more videos of police beating people up and resistance and, you know, God knows what.

00:04:56.900 So if the police had acted aggressively on day one or two or three, you don't know what would have happened, but in all likelihood, because the temperature was so high in terms of people's attitudes, it was very likely going to end not well and spark more protests, which themselves would end well.

00:05:18.200 So if you're trying to quell protests across the country, the last thing you want to do is go hard the first moment you can, you want to let the temperature come down a little bit, and then you could go through.

00:05:31.980 So here's my hypothesis, that by letting the the occupiers in CHOP experience the life, which they did not intend to be permanent.

00:05:42.500 The people who, you know, occupied it, they didn't, they didn't start out the month and say, hey, I think I'll go live in a tent on the street somewhere with no shower.

00:05:53.740 I think the longer they stayed there, the more they wanted, wait for it, a fake because.

00:06:02.400 They needed a reason to leave that they could say it wasn't our choice.

00:06:08.560 You see where I'm going?

00:06:09.380 They all wanted to leave by the time the police asked them to leave.

00:06:15.120 Now, I say all, obviously nothing applies to everybody, but you know what I mean.

00:06:19.700 That the mood there, almost certainly, because the mayor had waited long enough, this is the brilliant part, in my opinion.

00:06:28.680 All right.

00:06:28.900 Now, for those of you keeping score, am I not calling a Democrat mayor brilliant for a specific piece of strategy and persuasion?

00:06:41.320 All right.

00:06:41.800 So for those of you who are going to attack me later, blah, blah, blah, you're up President Trump's ass.

00:06:46.920 You just say good things about him.

00:06:48.600 You're in the tank.

00:06:49.980 Just listen to me for a while.

00:06:51.440 Well, I think this was brilliant leadership because she took the temperature down by agreeing with him.

00:06:59.520 She called it the summer of love.

00:07:01.420 She was completely non-threatening, and it took the energy out.

00:07:05.340 That had to be done.

00:07:07.560 You had to reduce the energy, and she did it, simply by not creating a counterforce that would cause them to get worked up again.

00:07:16.180 Once they had experienced living there for a while, however many weeks it was, you know they wanted to leave.

00:07:25.360 You know, again, not every single person, but you know they did not want to live there for the rest of their lives.

00:07:32.320 What they needed, they really needed, was for their mayor to give them a fake because, a reason to leave that didn't look like they had made their own decision.

00:07:44.520 And she did.

00:07:46.180 So the police came through.

00:07:48.260 There were very little video of it.

00:07:50.120 The video we got was not from the major news outlets, I think.

00:07:55.180 It looks like the media kept a lid on this story, or they couldn't report it.

00:08:00.600 I don't know.

00:08:01.240 It's one of those.

00:08:03.940 But I don't, in terms of reporting, were there any casualties?

00:08:09.140 I think they cleared the entire chop.

00:08:12.580 Correct me if I'm wrong, because the reporting is pretty sketchy.

00:08:15.380 So whoever said, wrong, Scott, in all caps, you might be new here, because what happens when you say, wrong, Scott, in all caps?

00:08:27.240 Well, I think the other people can tell you.

00:08:31.920 All right, so blocked.

00:08:34.020 You got blocked.

00:08:35.380 There's always space for reasons.

00:08:37.520 So you can give them.

00:08:41.900 So that's my take.

00:08:44.900 Now, the other take, which fits the facts just as well.

00:08:49.100 So let me give attention to the alternative movie here.

00:08:52.360 Which one of these fits the facts the best?

00:08:56.940 The other one is that she's an incompetent Democrat mayor who botched it from the beginning, because if she'd been tougher in the beginning, they wouldn't have taken over the chop in the first place. 1.00

00:09:07.300 And that the only reason that she got tough in the end and had them cleared out is that she only cared about herself because they threatened her own home, and then it became serious to her.

00:09:21.760 Now, does that fit all the facts?

00:09:24.080 It does.

00:09:25.160 It does.

00:09:26.580 Doesn't it?

00:09:28.000 It fits them completely.

00:09:29.080 It fits them as well as my description did.

00:09:34.040 So if you were going to pick which of those is the real one, here's how you would do it.

00:09:40.040 You would say to yourself, let's make a prediction from both of these two movies.

00:09:45.900 My movie says this mayor is a smart operator, which would predict you will see future smart things coming from her. 1.00

00:09:55.540 Right?

00:09:55.780 Now, if the other movie is correct, and she's just thoroughly incompetent and selfish or something, then you would expect that she would not do clever things in the future. 0.99

00:10:09.400 So, let's watch.

00:10:12.380 If I'm wrong, I would completely be open to that, because I'm just saying that this view of the world fits, you know, the movie fits.

00:10:21.780 Doesn't mean it's right.

00:10:23.180 We'll see which one predicts.

00:10:24.720 That's how you know.

00:10:25.780 All right.

00:10:27.440 So, yesterday I was telling you that Trump's, let's say, silence about masks was disqualifying, meaning that you can't really support a president who is not pushing masks or promoting the use of masks during a pandemic.

00:10:45.500 It's disqualifying.

00:10:46.900 You know, you know, you know, I've been the biggest Trump supporter around in terms of his technique, more so than policy.

00:10:56.780 But in terms of him personally in his technique, but in terms of him personally in his technique, I've been one of his biggest supporters.

00:11:01.620 And even I would say, if he's not promoting face masks during a pandemic, that's disqualifying.

00:11:09.780 Seriously, that's pretty disqualifying.

00:11:12.320 But yesterday he did.

00:11:14.320 But yesterday he did.

00:11:16.540 Now, you could say to yourself, ah, he didn't come down strong.

00:11:22.020 He just sort of said they're a good idea.

00:11:23.780 He'd wear it in certain circumstances, et cetera.

00:11:27.000 But the news is reporting that the president is pro-mask now.

00:11:31.540 I don't think he was ever anti-mask, but it was coming off that way.

00:11:35.540 So, so he's sort of lukewarm, tepid, masks are a good thing.

00:11:44.240 I suppose that's a good place to be.

00:11:45.720 I got a message from Vladimir Putin yesterday, not directly, in which the message was that Russia wants to be an ally with the United States to team up against China.

00:12:03.960 Do you believe that?

00:12:05.880 Do you believe that Putin sent me a message that Russia wants to be friends with the United States against China?

00:12:12.740 Well, if you were a subscriber to the Locals platform, you'd know what I'm talking about.

00:12:18.420 The rest of you should just assume it didn't happen.

00:12:25.240 So, I don't know if you heard I made a little news yesterday, quite a bit of news, with the AOC play.

00:12:34.960 Now, those of you who were with me from the beginning of this play got to watch it unfold.

00:12:44.280 Now, here's the background.

00:12:45.940 You remember when AOC said, we have 12 years left before climate change kills us?

00:12:52.720 She never really said that, but it was interpreted that way.

00:12:56.740 What she said was, if you don't get really serious in the next 12 years, you know, the future doesn't look so good.

00:13:03.120 But it got turned into, simplified to, you're all dead in 12 years.

00:13:08.620 Now, AOC, as I've said from the beginning, knows persuasion.

00:13:14.160 And it was really, really good persuasion.

00:13:17.540 Because it made you focus on it, and it made you, you know, look at her first offer.

00:13:23.160 The first offer was so extreme that whatever comes after that doesn't seem so big anymore, which was perfect, right?

00:13:29.400 So, if she says, you're going to be dead in 12 years, she never really said that.

00:13:35.180 She never said that.

00:13:36.560 But that's how it's interpreted.

00:13:38.260 So, she allowed that interpretation, in a sense, allowed it by not pushing back as hard as she could.

00:13:45.720 And that just brings attention to her topic.

00:13:48.980 Look, what do I teach you about persuasion?

00:13:54.280 50% of persuasion is getting people's attention.

00:13:58.580 Because you can't persuade if they're not paying attention.

00:14:01.780 That's basic.

00:14:02.900 If you don't get people's attention, you're not persuading.

00:14:06.220 So, she does that better than just about anybody in the world.

00:14:09.180 And she got your attention on climate change, and then you're already primed for her persuasion.

00:14:15.560 So, it worked really well.

00:14:16.640 Now, the thing that works about that is that the claim sounds ridiculous and believable at the same time.

00:14:26.840 Now, let me explain that.

00:14:28.880 So, to say that, you know, we have 12 years to get this right or we're all going to die,

00:14:33.280 is both ridiculous, like just on the surface, you say, well, that doesn't sound right.

00:14:40.060 But at the same time, it's completely believable that somebody believes it.

00:14:46.640 In other words, even if you don't believe it, you are convinced that somebody else does believe it.

00:14:53.280 That's the magic sauce.

00:14:55.260 If you get that combination right, you're going to have a viral everything.

00:15:00.660 And your message will be the one that people focus on.

00:15:04.420 So, I borrowed that technique.

00:15:07.780 And I told you I was borrowing it.

00:15:09.680 So, those of you who are watching this develop, you know that I told you I was doing this, right?

00:15:14.600 So, none of this is an accident.

00:15:16.580 And what I told you is that, and I told you I think soon after I'd done it,

00:15:22.860 that I'd tweeted that if Biden is elected, there's a good chance you'll be dead in a year.

00:15:29.340 Do you see that?

00:15:29.900 You see that's the same as AOC's play, the 12 years you'll be dead.

00:15:34.500 Now, when you hear me say this,

00:15:37.340 there's a good chance you'll be dead in a year if Biden is elected,

00:15:40.560 what are the two things you think?

00:15:44.620 If you're, let's say you're a Democrat.

00:15:47.200 The first thing you think is, that's ridiculous, right?

00:15:51.300 Just like you said we'll be dead in 12 years from climate change.

00:15:54.280 That's ridiculous.

00:15:56.020 So, that's the first part.

00:15:57.400 Then what's the second part?

00:15:59.720 That somebody believes it's true.

00:16:02.360 So, when they read this,

00:16:03.720 did they think that Republicans, or even that I, believe it's true?

00:16:08.400 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:09.100 They acted like, they acted exactly like that.

00:16:12.540 So, they fell into the AOC trap,

00:16:15.740 and I guess I was trending on Twitter for a while.

00:16:19.300 And, yeah, I was the subject of many articles yesterday.

00:16:24.500 Hit pieces, of course.

00:16:27.180 I didn't read any of them, I just looked at the titles.

00:16:30.020 I always think it's funnier

00:16:31.460 if somebody writes a hit piece about me and I don't read it.

00:16:35.760 For some reason, that's funnier.

00:16:37.240 I'm the only one who gets the joke.

00:16:39.780 It's like, ah, you wrote a hit piece about me,

00:16:42.200 and I didn't read it.

00:16:45.340 Because I'm actually not interested.

00:16:47.720 It's actually easy to do.

00:16:49.580 If I were interested, it would be hard to not read it.

00:16:53.180 But I'm actually not interested.

00:16:54.860 I'm not literally just,

00:16:56.160 I look at the articles and I think,

00:16:58.200 I got better things to do than reading it.

00:17:00.340 My favorite troll yesterday,

00:17:04.360 he tweeted something that he thought was an insult,

00:17:06.880 and I just retweeted it.

00:17:08.740 Because it was such a weak attack,

00:17:11.480 that I just, ah, I think I'll amplify it.

00:17:14.140 And, I'll tell you,

00:17:15.600 there's nothing more humiliating

00:17:17.300 than thinking you're attacking a public figure,

00:17:20.720 and they just retweet it,

00:17:22.780 without a comment.

00:17:24.260 No comment at all.

00:17:25.720 Just retweet it.

00:17:27.060 That's as hard as you can fail

00:17:28.780 in your criticism.

00:17:30.500 If the target of your criticism says,

00:17:32.960 eh, I think I'll retweet this.

00:17:35.080 So I did that yesterday

00:17:36.500 to the entertainment of some of my followers

00:17:40.080 who noticed.

00:17:42.520 All right.

00:17:44.680 So here's the argument that backs up.

00:17:47.200 Now, I'm going to go full AOC for you.

00:17:49.900 So AOC, once she has your attention,

00:17:52.520 will give you her argument about climate change.

00:17:55.520 So now that I have people's attention about this,

00:17:57.820 you might get hunted down if you're a Republican,

00:18:00.440 I will give you my argument.

00:18:01.980 Because now I have your attention.

00:18:03.500 Now, not you,

00:18:04.360 because most of you are kind of Trump supporters.

00:18:08.840 But what I'm trying to do

00:18:10.720 is attract attention from the people

00:18:13.180 who are not my natural audience.

00:18:14.780 And controversy does that.

00:18:16.420 really well.

00:18:18.180 But it's not a controversy

00:18:19.600 that's not grounded in fact.

00:18:22.580 And by fact, I mean

00:18:23.880 statistical likelihood.

00:18:27.800 That is to say,

00:18:28.980 nobody can predict the future.

00:18:31.200 No matter how well you watch me do it,

00:18:34.400 it doesn't mean I'm going to do it right

00:18:35.860 the next time.

00:18:37.220 Right?

00:18:37.820 Predicting the future,

00:18:39.620 I would say I have the best track record

00:18:42.020 of any public figure.

00:18:44.580 It's hard to compare,

00:18:45.640 but at the moment,

00:18:47.780 probably right up there

00:18:49.000 in the top 10% at least

00:18:50.500 of people who are predicting

00:18:51.600 what's going to happen.

00:18:52.780 I get my share wrong,

00:18:54.440 but as does everybody.

00:18:56.820 But nobody can really

00:18:58.080 predict the future.

00:19:00.200 You can only say,

00:19:01.520 well,

00:19:01.900 my best guess is that

00:19:03.020 the odds of this happening

00:19:04.400 is a little more than the odds

00:19:05.960 of this or that happening.

00:19:07.680 So that is the context

00:19:09.160 in which I said,

00:19:10.200 there's a good chance

00:19:11.520 that if Biden gets elected,

00:19:12.900 you'll be dead in a year.

00:19:14.160 Now,

00:19:14.320 who is you?

00:19:15.460 You,

00:19:16.040 of course,

00:19:16.640 I was speaking on Twitter,

00:19:17.960 so it was Trump supporters

00:19:19.660 because that's 95% of my audience

00:19:21.620 on Twitter.

00:19:23.700 So,

00:19:24.280 is it true

00:19:25.280 that there's a chance,

00:19:28.220 and I said a good chance,

00:19:29.660 that you would be hunted

00:19:32.660 if you're a Trump supporter

00:19:34.680 and Biden gets into office?

00:19:37.380 Let me support,

00:19:38.940 let me support that

00:19:40.960 assertion.

00:19:44.640 Now,

00:19:44.860 remember,

00:19:45.580 the assertion is not

00:19:46.560 that it will happen.

00:19:48.120 The assertion is that

00:19:49.340 there's a good chance

00:19:50.260 it will happen.

00:19:51.740 Now,

00:19:52.300 you're smart enough

00:19:53.000 to know the distinction

00:19:53.860 between there's a chance

00:19:55.460 of something happening

00:19:56.240 and a good chance

00:19:57.040 of something happening

00:19:57.680 versus I predict

00:19:59.100 it will happen.

00:20:00.340 That's very different.

00:20:01.780 Okay?

00:20:02.540 So,

00:20:03.120 there are multiple things

00:20:04.060 that could happen.

00:20:04.780 One of them,

00:20:05.560 which you must guard against,

00:20:07.100 looks like this.

00:20:08.860 Biden becomes president

00:20:10.220 and Democrats

00:20:12.380 now being

00:20:13.480 sort of in power,

00:20:14.780 let's say Congress

00:20:15.560 is all Democrat too.

00:20:17.720 First of all,

00:20:18.400 is that possible?

00:20:19.700 Well,

00:20:19.920 according to the polls,

00:20:20.940 that's what's going to happen.

00:20:22.640 So,

00:20:22.880 so far,

00:20:23.800 that looks like

00:20:25.560 a reasonable future,

00:20:26.740 right?

00:20:26.920 a good chance

00:20:27.820 that Biden

00:20:28.280 will be elected

00:20:29.000 just based on the polls.

00:20:31.500 Now,

00:20:32.360 if he's elected,

00:20:33.820 is he going to go hard

00:20:35.080 against police?

00:20:37.160 I'm sorry.

00:20:37.760 Is he going to go hard

00:20:38.540 against protesters

00:20:39.960 once he gets elected?

00:20:42.240 It's possible.

00:20:43.960 It's possible.

00:20:45.380 Joe Biden

00:20:45.880 could actually be

00:20:46.900 the one who goes hard

00:20:47.760 against protesters

00:20:48.660 because maybe

00:20:49.800 a Democrat can,

00:20:51.640 you know,

00:20:51.980 without causing

00:20:52.700 all the racism problems.

00:20:54.160 Or maybe Kamala Harris can 1.00

00:20:55.760 if she's the real

00:20:56.860 power behind

00:20:58.000 the presidency

00:20:58.540 at the time.

00:20:59.980 So that's the other possibility.

00:21:01.540 But let's just game out

00:21:02.700 the different possibilities.

00:21:04.620 One possibility is

00:21:05.840 that Biden is president

00:21:07.700 and they just sort of

00:21:09.280 don't support the police

00:21:10.460 against the protesters.

00:21:12.480 The protesters

00:21:13.240 would continue to do

00:21:14.600 what they do

00:21:16.320 because it's working.

00:21:17.420 Nobody,

00:21:17.880 nobody stops

00:21:18.860 doing things that work.

00:21:20.220 So if the protesters

00:21:21.900 say,

00:21:22.320 hey,

00:21:22.440 we're gaining ground

00:21:23.320 and nobody's stopping us,

00:21:24.860 they're going to keep going.

00:21:26.280 So what does that look like?

00:21:27.680 Well,

00:21:28.000 I interviewed yesterday

00:21:28.940 a young woman

00:21:29.780 who lost her job

00:21:31.660 because her co-workers

00:21:32.780 found an old tweet

00:21:34.000 from 2010

00:21:35.220 that said she liked

00:21:36.360 Donald Trump.

00:21:37.920 2010.

00:21:38.740 That's before he was

00:21:39.440 even running for president.

00:21:41.320 And there were

00:21:42.740 some other little clues

00:21:44.960 they thought they found

00:21:46.000 to suggest

00:21:47.380 that she was

00:21:47.900 a Trump supporter

00:21:48.660 which was certainly

00:21:49.920 not any overt

00:21:51.080 thing she was doing 1.00

00:21:52.140 and lost her job over it.

00:21:56.180 How common is that?

00:21:57.720 Well,

00:21:57.940 let me ask you,

00:21:58.640 can you put on

00:21:59.360 a MAGA hat

00:22:00.900 and walk through

00:22:01.700 an urban area

00:22:02.460 without being assaulted?

00:22:04.820 Not really.

00:22:06.180 If you put on

00:22:06.960 any kind of a

00:22:08.840 hat or Trump sticker

00:22:10.700 or anything

00:22:11.980 that suggested

00:22:12.640 you were a Trump supporter

00:22:13.700 and went into

00:22:14.920 a crowded area,

00:22:16.080 wouldn't you expect

00:22:16.800 to be assaulted?

00:22:17.900 You would expect that,

00:22:19.460 right?

00:22:19.700 I'm almost guaranteed.

00:22:21.500 So if you have a world

00:22:22.720 where people are already

00:22:23.740 losing their jobs

00:22:24.780 for being Trump supporters,

00:22:26.500 cannot in a public space

00:22:28.880 have any indication

00:22:30.560 on them

00:22:31.160 that they're Trump supporters

00:22:32.420 without being assaulted,

00:22:34.980 it's very much like

00:22:36.500 being Jewish

00:22:37.640 in Hitler's Germany, 0.51

00:22:39.980 isn't it?

00:22:41.060 If you were,

00:22:41.640 I don't know

00:22:42.140 what that was like,

00:22:43.240 but if you were

00:22:44.040 Jewish in Hitler's Germany, 0.51

00:22:46.120 you probably didn't

00:22:47.800 want to go outside

00:22:48.700 wearing clothes

00:22:49.660 that broadcast

00:22:50.760 that you were Jewish.

00:22:53.000 I'm sure some people did.

00:22:54.880 But you probably

00:22:55.620 would prefer

00:22:56.400 people didn't notice

00:22:57.720 if that was possible

00:22:59.480 because you might

00:23:01.220 get some abuse. 0.53

00:23:02.800 So it's somewhat

00:23:04.020 like that

00:23:04.460 to be a Republican.

00:23:05.220 Now,

00:23:05.820 if you're a Democrat,

00:23:06.820 do you see that?

00:23:08.080 That's sort of invisible

00:23:09.140 to you,

00:23:09.660 wouldn't you say?

00:23:10.520 I would say Democrats

00:23:11.480 are completely unaware,

00:23:13.480 that's been my observation,

00:23:15.280 that the rank-and-file

00:23:16.740 ordinary Democrats

00:23:18.140 are completely unaware

00:23:19.460 of how much pressure

00:23:22.160 is being put

00:23:22.760 on Trump supporters,

00:23:24.180 economically,

00:23:25.180 employment-wise,

00:23:26.320 socially,

00:23:26.680 and risk of violence,

00:23:31.040 risk of assault.

00:23:33.500 So is it a big,

00:23:35.040 is it a really big leap

00:23:38.200 to say that

00:23:39.480 if the protests

00:23:40.460 continue the way

00:23:41.340 they're going,

00:23:42.540 that they would be

00:23:43.540 hunting down Republicans?

00:23:46.020 Again,

00:23:46.740 I didn't say

00:23:47.420 that will happen,

00:23:48.320 it's not a prediction,

00:23:49.700 I said there's

00:23:50.280 a good chance.

00:23:51.120 It's one of the,

00:23:52.360 it's one of the

00:23:53.740 maybe three paths

00:23:55.120 that are about equal

00:23:56.540 possibility right now.

00:23:58.920 Now,

00:23:59.400 one of my critics tweeted

00:24:01.640 that,

00:24:03.040 you know,

00:24:03.720 I don't understand

00:24:04.800 what Black Lives Matter

00:24:05.920 want, basically,

00:24:07.420 they just want

00:24:07.900 better policing

00:24:08.620 and, you know,

00:24:10.400 less discrimination,

00:24:11.760 and doesn't everybody

00:24:12.580 want that?

00:24:13.880 To which I said,

00:24:15.100 I don't think

00:24:15.660 you're listening

00:24:16.180 to the interviews

00:24:17.880 and the speeches

00:24:18.820 given by the

00:24:19.600 Black Lives Matter leaders.

00:24:21.680 Because here's what

00:24:22.880 the message

00:24:24.100 has morphed

00:24:24.900 into.

00:24:26.060 First of all,

00:24:26.760 you've heard

00:24:27.260 Hawk Newsom

00:24:28.760 on CNN,

00:24:29.900 I think,

00:24:30.380 CNN,

00:24:31.420 might have been

00:24:32.020 Fox News,

00:24:33.260 but he's been

00:24:33.960 on a few things.

00:24:35.000 So he's a leader

00:24:35.660 of Black Lives Matter

00:24:36.440 in New York,

00:24:36.960 and he said

00:24:37.600 directly

00:24:38.260 that violence

00:24:40.080 is still on the table.

00:24:42.060 Now,

00:24:42.600 and what he said

00:24:43.360 was,

00:24:43.900 we need this revolution,

00:24:46.320 could be violent,

00:24:47.360 could be non-violent,

00:24:49.700 and he wasn't,

00:24:50.680 he wasn't picking

00:24:51.680 a favorite,

00:24:52.260 basically.

00:24:53.060 You know,

00:24:53.220 the implication

00:24:54.440 is that if

00:24:56.000 they don't get

00:24:56.620 what they want

00:24:57.220 with non-violence,

00:24:58.320 then violence

00:24:59.020 is warranted

00:25:01.260 because the problem

00:25:02.160 is big enough,

00:25:03.280 and violence

00:25:03.980 is always the way

00:25:04.820 the society changes.

00:25:06.120 That's essentially

00:25:06.880 Hawk's argument

00:25:08.560 if I've captured it right.

00:25:10.720 So he does not say,

00:25:12.140 I prefer violence,

00:25:15.120 but he also doesn't say,

00:25:16.980 I didn't hear him say

00:25:18.080 he preferred non-violence,

00:25:20.040 sort of silent

00:25:21.360 on the preference.

00:25:22.500 He's just saying

00:25:23.240 that they have

00:25:24.740 an end goal,

00:25:26.640 whatever that looks like,

00:25:28.300 and that they are

00:25:30.020 somewhat agnostic

00:25:31.980 about whether violence

00:25:33.100 is part of it.

00:25:33.960 If it has to be,

00:25:34.700 it has to be.

00:25:36.120 And I think

00:25:37.620 Hawk is correct 0.99

00:25:39.780 when he says,

00:25:41.300 historically,

00:25:42.360 people,

00:25:43.280 don't be hypocrites

00:25:44.240 because basically

00:25:45.420 the whole country

00:25:46.120 was founded on violence.

00:25:47.980 Everything you have

00:25:48.980 came from violence.

00:25:50.540 So don't be so surprised

00:25:52.080 if there's more of it

00:25:53.060 in the future.

00:25:54.080 That's actually

00:25:54.940 a perfectly valid statement.

00:25:56.940 So let's take

00:25:57.840 Black Lives Matter

00:25:59.040 leader Hawk Newsom

00:26:00.420 at his word

00:26:01.140 that violence

00:26:02.640 is on the table

00:26:03.420 if they don't get

00:26:04.420 what they want

00:26:04.960 for non-violence.

00:26:06.180 Now,

00:26:06.480 I would say

00:26:06.860 that would be true

00:26:07.460 of every army,

00:26:08.460 wouldn't you say?

00:26:09.260 And every terrorist.

00:26:11.400 Every terrorist,

00:26:12.540 I think,

00:26:13.620 would agree

00:26:14.060 with what Hawk Newsom said.

00:26:16.960 Violence is on the table,

00:26:18.760 but if we can get

00:26:19.900 everything we want

00:26:20.800 without non-violence,

00:26:21.940 oh, we'll do that.

00:26:23.100 Yeah,

00:26:23.340 why wouldn't we?

00:26:24.360 Of course.

00:26:25.860 So,

00:26:27.080 Al-Qaeda

00:26:27.660 and Black Lives Matter

00:26:29.360 basically have

00:26:30.080 the same philosophy

00:26:30.920 about violence,

00:26:32.080 which is

00:26:33.020 if I don't need it,

00:26:35.900 you know,

00:26:36.460 if I don't need it,

00:26:37.240 what's the point?

00:26:38.300 But if I do need it,

00:26:39.640 it's on the table.

00:26:41.260 Same as a terrorist.

00:26:46.020 So,

00:26:46.660 and then

00:26:47.080 here's the other change.

00:26:49.060 So it seems like

00:26:50.020 a month ago

00:26:50.760 white supremacy

00:26:52.320 meant one thing,

00:26:53.600 but it's

00:26:53.960 sort of morphed

00:26:55.440 or it could be

00:26:56.240 that I'm just learning

00:26:57.400 how other people

00:26:58.340 see the word.

00:26:59.360 I don't know

00:26:59.740 which one it is.

00:27:00.780 But here's the change

00:27:02.000 that might just be

00:27:03.080 in my understanding

00:27:03.880 that I've seen

00:27:05.420 in the last several weeks.

00:27:07.120 It used to be

00:27:07.660 that white supremacists

00:27:08.840 were people

00:27:10.160 who believed

00:27:10.740 they were superior

00:27:11.660 because their DNA

00:27:13.420 or whatever.

00:27:15.760 I've argued

00:27:16.500 that I've never met one.

00:27:18.200 I just don't know

00:27:18.860 anybody who thinks that.

00:27:20.560 And

00:27:20.960 that it must be

00:27:22.300 some trivial part

00:27:23.220 of the country

00:27:23.700 if I've never met one.

00:27:25.720 So,

00:27:26.280 I've never even seen one,

00:27:27.500 really.

00:27:27.700 I mean,

00:27:28.400 I've never even seen

00:27:29.560 one on television.

00:27:31.580 And when I say never,

00:27:32.820 I mean,

00:27:33.120 let's say last five years

00:27:34.960 I've never seen one

00:27:36.440 who met the definition

00:27:38.880 in my opinion

00:27:39.920 of thinking

00:27:41.160 that because

00:27:41.960 they were white

00:27:42.780 they were superior

00:27:43.720 to other races.

00:27:44.720 That's how I used

00:27:45.420 to define

00:27:46.060 white supremacy,

00:27:48.140 which is different

00:27:48.860 from being a racist

00:27:49.760 and different

00:27:50.340 from being a white nationalist,

00:27:52.140 a special kind

00:27:52.940 of racist.

00:27:53.480 they don't require

00:27:57.460 the supremacy part.

00:27:59.260 If you're just

00:27:59.880 a regular racist,

00:28:01.260 you have a preference,

00:28:03.140 but it's not

00:28:03.680 because you think

00:28:04.300 you're superior.

00:28:05.640 Okay?

00:28:06.040 So that's a distinction.

00:28:07.620 And I thought

00:28:08.060 that mattered,

00:28:09.060 but it turns out

00:28:09.980 I was listening

00:28:10.480 to a speech,

00:28:11.940 I think it was in L.A.,

00:28:13.000 one of the Black Lives Matter.

00:28:14.740 Leaders was talking

00:28:15.720 to the audience

00:28:16.440 with a microphone

00:28:17.560 and

00:28:18.280 the way

00:28:20.120 white supremacy

00:28:22.120 seems to be used

00:28:23.520 at the moment

00:28:24.320 is simply

00:28:25.500 a description

00:28:26.260 of a system

00:28:27.560 that supports

00:28:28.940 white people

00:28:29.700 better than other people.

00:28:31.740 And that

00:28:32.140 if the current system,

00:28:33.840 all the systems

00:28:34.540 in the United States

00:28:35.440 from judicial system

00:28:37.220 to economic system

00:28:38.860 to you name it,

00:28:41.180 that all of them

00:28:42.060 support

00:28:43.780 white people

00:28:45.260 staying

00:28:45.800 the dominant

00:28:47.240 economic power,

00:28:49.740 mostly economic,

00:28:51.040 but political too,

00:28:52.120 in the country.

00:28:54.060 Or more economic,

00:28:55.160 I think,

00:28:55.640 because politically

00:28:56.220 we did have

00:28:57.660 eight years

00:28:58.220 of a black president,

00:28:59.280 so that's pretty good

00:29:00.200 politically.

00:29:02.100 So here's your situation.

00:29:07.080 It looks like

00:29:08.440 white supremacy,

00:29:10.220 the definition of it

00:29:11.860 has changed

00:29:12.440 from a small group

00:29:13.820 of white people

00:29:14.440 who think they're superior

00:29:15.440 to everybody else,

00:29:16.560 which is basically

00:29:17.320 a vanishing breed,

00:29:18.780 never seen one

00:29:19.500 in five years.

00:29:20.240 that's changed

00:29:22.020 to white supremacy

00:29:22.920 means

00:29:23.420 if you're white

00:29:24.840 and you're in a system

00:29:26.400 that keeps you

00:29:27.820 in a good place

00:29:28.680 vis-a-vis

00:29:30.400 compared to

00:29:31.740 other people,

00:29:33.260 you're a white supremacist. 0.73

00:29:35.360 So you would be

00:29:36.120 a white supremacist

00:29:37.280 simply by being white

00:29:38.560 and being part of a system

00:29:40.420 that's good for you.

00:29:42.300 So I'm white

00:29:43.500 and I'm part of a system

00:29:44.800 that seems to be good for me,

00:29:46.780 capitalism,

00:29:47.260 et cetera.

00:29:49.420 If you are also white

00:29:51.260 and you're part of a system

00:29:53.580 that other people

00:29:54.680 think is good for you,

00:29:55.820 I think they'd be

00:29:56.540 correct in that.

00:29:57.860 It does.

00:29:58.720 The system,

00:29:59.460 pretty much every system

00:30:00.640 is built to maintain

00:30:01.640 the status quo.

00:30:03.120 So I think there's

00:30:04.240 something to that.

00:30:05.100 So here's the thing.

00:30:06.100 If violence is on the table

00:30:07.700 and the only thing

00:30:08.480 that you can do

00:30:09.080 to get rid of

00:30:09.680 white supremacy

00:30:10.380 is to dismantle

00:30:12.760 the systems

00:30:13.360 and we see that

00:30:15.060 you can't wear

00:30:15.740 a Trump hat

00:30:17.020 without being assaulted

00:30:18.400 and you see that

00:30:19.460 you can't assume

00:30:21.220 that you will remain

00:30:22.100 employed

00:30:22.720 if you're a Trump supporter,

00:30:24.720 given all those things,

00:30:26.260 is it a stretch

00:30:29.340 to say

00:30:29.920 we could get

00:30:31.100 to the point

00:30:31.720 of violence

00:30:32.580 against

00:30:33.240 just white people

00:30:35.720 for being white

00:30:36.480 because they're

00:30:37.120 white supremacists?

00:30:37.980 Let me say it

00:30:39.180 in the fast way.

00:30:40.920 If you label somebody

00:30:41.900 a white supremacist

00:30:43.240 in 2020,

00:30:45.000 you are marking them

00:30:47.180 as a target

00:30:48.620 for violence.

00:30:50.460 Does anybody

00:30:51.200 disagree with that?

00:30:52.780 That if you label

00:30:53.660 somebody a white supremacist

00:30:55.260 in 2020,

00:30:56.480 you are giving

00:30:57.800 an explicit,

00:30:59.600 I would say explicit,

00:31:01.780 approval for violence.

00:31:04.540 Anybody disagree with that?

00:31:06.520 It is approval.

00:31:08.800 So,

00:31:10.020 anybody who hasn't

00:31:12.400 listened to

00:31:12.900 Black Lives Matter

00:31:13.900 rhetoric,

00:31:15.600 both in the interviews

00:31:16.460 and also in the public

00:31:17.460 speeches,

00:31:18.320 I don't think they know

00:31:19.220 what's coming

00:31:19.740 because what's coming

00:31:21.920 is not,

00:31:24.260 oh, thank you

00:31:24.880 for changing

00:31:25.440 those regulations

00:31:27.460 about policing.

00:31:29.240 That's not really

00:31:30.400 what they're asking for.

00:31:32.400 That was the spark.

00:31:34.240 But it has nothing

00:31:35.160 to do with police reform.

00:31:36.440 If it had anything

00:31:37.940 to do with police reform,

00:31:39.320 the Democrats

00:31:39.900 and the Republicans

00:31:40.660 would be negotiating

00:31:41.780 on the bills

00:31:42.460 that have been proposed.

00:31:43.860 But they don't

00:31:44.500 even want to.

00:31:45.800 The Democrats

00:31:46.460 literally don't even

00:31:47.560 want to solve

00:31:48.380 police reform,

00:31:50.540 which looks like

00:31:51.760 it would be

00:31:52.160 trivially easy

00:31:53.180 to at least

00:31:53.680 have improvements

00:31:54.460 because the Republicans

00:31:55.620 are already on board

00:31:56.580 and say,

00:31:57.920 hey,

00:31:58.120 bring on the conversation.

00:31:59.080 So what you have

00:32:01.700 to understand

00:32:02.260 is that Black Lives

00:32:03.200 Matter wants

00:32:03.820 to dismantle

00:32:05.040 white supremacy,

00:32:06.380 which they consider

00:32:08.000 the entire system.

00:32:10.060 And if you happen

00:32:11.180 to be one of the people

00:32:12.120 who doesn't want

00:32:12.760 that to happen

00:32:13.460 and you've been labeled

00:32:15.080 a white supremacist

00:32:16.280 and violence

00:32:17.440 is on the table,

00:32:18.500 explicitly on the table,

00:32:20.200 it is explicitly

00:32:21.120 on the table,

00:32:22.040 Is that a stretch

00:32:25.400 to say that

00:32:26.420 one of the three paths

00:32:27.620 is that

00:32:28.240 Trump supporters

00:32:29.500 will be hunted?

00:32:31.140 It's not even a prediction

00:32:32.880 because it's already happening.

00:32:35.020 Trump supporters

00:32:35.780 are already being hunted.

00:32:38.340 You don't believe me?

00:32:40.420 Why don't you wear a mask

00:32:43.360 that makes you look like

00:32:44.360 Jack Posobiec,

00:32:45.680 who may be watching

00:32:46.460 this right now.

00:32:47.260 Hi, Jack.

00:32:48.420 Wear a mask

00:32:49.180 that makes you look like

00:32:50.200 somebody who's

00:32:51.580 disassociated with

00:32:52.640 the right

00:32:53.680 and conservatism

00:32:56.140 and go to a rally.

00:32:59.260 Just walk into a rally,

00:33:01.760 just being yourself,

00:33:03.580 but being a recognizable

00:33:04.900 supporter of the president.

00:33:06.200 That's all.

00:33:07.020 You don't have to cause trouble.

00:33:08.760 You don't have to get

00:33:09.480 in anybody's face.

00:33:10.880 Simply exist

00:33:11.920 in the same physical location

00:33:14.540 as the Black Lives Matter

00:33:16.560 protester.

00:33:17.920 Will you be assaulted?

00:33:19.840 Yeah.

00:33:20.840 A hundred percent.

00:33:21.580 Now, would you say

00:33:22.560 that's not hunting Republicans?

00:33:25.160 I'm not making

00:33:26.320 a fucking prediction. 0.84

00:33:28.320 It's not a fucking prediction.

00:33:31.200 It's happening right now.

00:33:32.860 If you don't understand

00:33:34.220 that Republicans

00:33:35.080 are already being hunted,

00:33:37.220 you're not really current.

00:33:41.080 You may be locked

00:33:42.160 in a Democrat silo

00:33:43.720 in which you're only

00:33:44.980 seeing your own news.

00:33:46.500 But good luck.

00:33:47.740 Just try putting on

00:33:50.460 your Jack Posobiec disguise,

00:33:53.460 in other words,

00:33:54.040 looking like him,

00:33:55.440 and walking into

00:33:56.180 a Black Lives Matter rally.

00:33:57.980 And you can even

00:33:58.620 hold a sign that says

00:34:00.140 Black Lives Matter.

00:34:01.700 You can even chant with them.

00:34:03.380 They will still beat your ass 1.00

00:34:04.740 or try to

00:34:05.680 or threaten you

00:34:06.500 or assault you

00:34:07.900 or throw something on you,

00:34:09.580 which would be assault.

00:34:10.760 All right.

00:34:12.640 So, I'm having a lot of fun.

00:34:14.080 I've grown more Twitter followers

00:34:15.620 in the last 24 hours

00:34:17.800 than any other 24 hours.

00:34:20.260 So, what I'm watching

00:34:22.000 is a lot of people

00:34:22.860 who are watching

00:34:23.800 what I'm doing.

00:34:24.580 because I think you understand,

00:34:27.220 this audience understands

00:34:28.160 that this is a performance.

00:34:30.580 I'm not doing

00:34:31.440 individual things.

00:34:32.820 I'm doing

00:34:33.340 a group of things

00:34:34.920 which I'm stringing together.

00:34:37.060 And if you don't see

00:34:38.200 that I'm building a thing,

00:34:40.280 then you're missing

00:34:40.980 the best part of the show.

00:34:42.580 So, every time I draw in

00:34:44.220 my trolls

00:34:44.880 and my critics,

00:34:46.620 and every time they write

00:34:47.620 a hit piece about me,

00:34:48.760 I grow stronger.

00:34:50.420 Now, this doesn't work

00:34:51.520 for everybody.

00:34:52.080 I don't recommend it.

00:34:54.380 If you just have

00:34:55.260 a vanilla job

00:34:56.220 and you want to stay

00:34:57.200 out of trouble,

00:34:57.820 don't do what I do

00:34:59.140 because I'm looking

00:35:00.680 for trouble

00:35:01.280 because I can convert

00:35:04.020 the energy

00:35:04.720 into something productive.

00:35:06.340 You can't.

00:35:07.680 All right.

00:35:07.840 Some of you can maybe,

00:35:08.840 but I wouldn't try it.

00:35:10.100 I wouldn't try it.

00:35:11.220 The odds of me being canceled

00:35:12.440 are pretty high,

00:35:14.060 but I like danger sometimes.

00:35:15.840 You know what's

00:35:21.980 fascinating

00:35:24.940 is we're watching the,

00:35:28.500 now there's some talk

00:35:30.200 about the

00:35:30.880 Mount Rushmore

00:35:33.800 because two of the presidents

00:35:36.040 on Mount Rushmore

00:35:36.940 were slave owners.

00:35:38.580 And a lot of Republicans

00:35:39.840 were joking just a week ago.

00:35:41.580 It's like,

00:35:41.920 ha, ha, ha,

00:35:42.580 next they're going to come

00:35:43.520 after Mount Rushmore.

00:35:45.880 Well, it turns out

00:35:46.860 Mount Rushmore

00:35:47.440 is now in the crosshairs

00:35:48.740 for exactly the reason

00:35:50.880 you think.

00:35:52.100 Now,

00:35:52.940 what do you think about that?

00:35:56.740 I was thinking maybe

00:35:58.540 we should put George Floyd

00:36:00.200 up there instead

00:36:00.960 because you could,

00:36:04.260 you could change

00:36:04.980 one of the faces,

00:36:06.200 let's say George Washington,

00:36:07.820 and replace him

00:36:09.440 with George Floyd.

00:36:13.180 Anybody like that idea?

00:36:14.700 You could probably,

00:36:15.520 you know,

00:36:15.780 carve it a little bit.

00:36:17.000 You might have to,

00:36:17.620 might recess it a little bit

00:36:18.940 because you'd have to,

00:36:19.780 you know,

00:36:20.180 change too many things

00:36:21.100 in the face,

00:36:21.620 but you could,

00:36:22.540 I think you could make yourself

00:36:23.880 a proper George Floyd

00:36:25.620 because as,

00:36:27.640 as Candace Owens

00:36:29.060 provocatively points out,

00:36:32.640 she complains that 0.99

00:36:34.820 since she is black, 0.93

00:36:36.040 she can say things

00:36:36.720 I can't say,

00:36:37.700 but Candace says

00:36:38.840 that black people

00:36:40.440 should have better role models.

00:36:42.300 And I think,

00:36:43.260 well,

00:36:43.420 that shouldn't that

00:36:44.300 apply to everybody?

00:36:46.060 Shouldn't everybody

00:36:46.980 have better role models?

00:36:48.540 Do you want

00:36:49.340 George Washington

00:36:50.460 to be your role model

00:36:51.600 when he was a slave owner?

00:36:53.880 Kind of ambiguous.

00:36:56.020 But we've,

00:36:56.900 we've been told

00:36:57.640 that George Floyd's,

00:36:59.500 you know,

00:36:59.720 whatever else he did

00:37:00.980 in his life

00:37:01.640 that maybe you don't approve of

00:37:03.020 is not relevant.

00:37:04.780 And so,

00:37:05.980 unlike George Washington,

00:37:08.520 where he has to be considered

00:37:10.820 as a whole,

00:37:12.260 which would make him a racist,

00:37:13.740 and it would,

00:37:14.480 of course,

00:37:15.320 that's just a fact,

00:37:17.060 we don't have to do that

00:37:19.100 with George Floyd.

00:37:20.300 We should,

00:37:20.740 we should see him

00:37:21.600 as a sympathetic character.

00:37:23.300 And I thought,

00:37:24.320 well,

00:37:24.500 why not take it

00:37:25.140 to the next level?

00:37:27.760 Why not take it

00:37:28.540 to the next level?

00:37:29.380 Put him on metal,

00:37:30.080 Rushmore.

00:37:32.700 What?

00:37:33.900 You don't like that idea?

00:37:37.000 Come on.

00:37:38.460 Such a good idea.

00:37:41.260 Don't say racist things.

00:37:44.240 I have to block you

00:37:45.500 for that.

00:37:46.040 Sorry.

00:37:46.400 She can't be here

00:37:49.460 saying stuff like that.

00:37:51.580 All right.

00:37:56.460 Will they make a play

00:37:57.680 for Mount Rushmore?

00:37:59.240 Maybe.

00:38:00.120 We'll see.

00:38:03.240 I thought

00:38:03.940 it was interesting

00:38:05.000 watching the

00:38:05.660 Black Lives Matter people

00:38:07.040 say,

00:38:07.680 F.

00:38:08.480 Eric Garcetti.

00:38:10.320 Correct me if I'm wrong,

00:38:11.320 but isn't Eric Garcetti

00:38:12.580 the most accommodating

00:38:14.800 white man

00:38:15.620 you've ever seen

00:38:16.380 in your life?

00:38:17.800 If you haven't been watching,

00:38:19.380 so he's the mayor

00:38:19.920 of Los Angeles,

00:38:20.960 and Eric Garcetti

00:38:21.700 has been absolutely

00:38:23.580 pro-Black Lives Matter

00:38:25.240 from the jump.

00:38:26.960 He's a Democrat,

00:38:28.340 knows what his base wants.

00:38:30.120 He's been completely

00:38:31.040 on their side

00:38:31.980 and,

00:38:32.700 you know,

00:38:33.380 doing the minimal

00:38:34.460 that I guess

00:38:35.960 a mayor needs to do,

00:38:37.140 but he's unambiguously

00:38:39.720 on their side.

00:38:41.400 So,

00:38:41.780 what do

00:38:42.420 the Black Lives Matter

00:38:43.640 people say

00:38:44.420 about white

00:38:45.920 Eric Garcetti

00:38:46.860 who is completely

00:38:47.760 on their side?

00:38:50.020 Fuck him.

00:38:51.220 They were chanting it.

00:38:52.600 They were chanting,

00:38:54.060 fuck Eric Garcetti.

00:38:56.800 He's

00:38:57.380 all in

00:38:58.920 on their side.

00:39:01.120 And they were chanting,

00:39:02.620 F him.

00:39:03.420 Now,

00:39:04.140 the issue is,

00:39:04.960 as I said before,

00:39:06.220 he's part of

00:39:07.100 the whole system.

00:39:08.340 In other words,

00:39:09.400 you can't

00:39:10.060 you can't take him

00:39:11.240 and treat him separately.

00:39:12.460 He's part of the system

00:39:13.240 as well.

00:39:14.320 And that the system

00:39:15.500 is white supremacy,

00:39:16.780 so it doesn't matter

00:39:17.980 if he says

00:39:19.180 all the right things,

00:39:20.160 and even if he does

00:39:21.040 all the right things,

00:39:22.100 he's still part of a system

00:39:23.280 that has to be dismantled.

00:39:25.080 If you're Eric Garcetti,

00:39:26.500 do you say to yourself,

00:39:27.900 you know,

00:39:28.900 if these Black Lives Matter 0.95

00:39:30.300 people get everything

00:39:31.680 they want,

00:39:32.480 I'm safe?

00:39:33.800 Is Eric Garcetti

00:39:35.280 personally

00:39:35.900 safe,

00:39:38.360 let's say

00:39:39.000 career-wise,

00:39:40.920 let's say

00:39:41.520 economically,

00:39:43.180 maybe even physically,

00:39:44.560 if Black Lives Matter 0.76

00:39:45.900 did get

00:39:46.560 everything they want?

00:39:48.100 And remember,

00:39:48.600 Black Lives Matter

00:39:49.280 is a group

00:39:49.880 that Eric Garcetti

00:39:51.100 very much approves of

00:39:52.840 and supports.

00:39:54.200 So if the group

00:39:55.160 that he approves of

00:39:56.500 and supports

00:39:57.080 gets what they want,

00:39:58.640 what would happen

00:39:59.600 to Eric Garcetti?

00:40:00.580 What would happen

00:40:03.520 to Eric Garcetti

00:40:04.500 is exactly what

00:40:06.080 Black Lives Matter

00:40:06.960 is telling you.

00:40:08.300 He'd be fucked.

00:40:10.000 They chanted it.

00:40:11.900 You don't have to guess

00:40:13.160 what they're thinking.

00:40:14.500 If a crowd

00:40:15.460 chants,

00:40:17.040 fuck Eric Garcetti,

00:40:19.100 why not listen to him?

00:40:21.480 Was it not

00:40:22.120 Maya Angelou

00:40:23.020 who said,

00:40:24.480 if somebody tells you

00:40:25.780 who they are,

00:40:27.120 you should listen to them?

00:40:28.220 Black Lives Matter

00:40:30.420 is telling you

00:40:30.940 who they are

00:40:31.540 and they're saying

00:40:32.740 that this white guy

00:40:34.020 who is absolutely,

00:40:35.360 completely on their side

00:40:36.760 is going to get fucked

00:40:38.440 because

00:40:39.760 he's a white guy

00:40:41.560 and he's part of

00:40:42.620 the white supremacist system.

00:40:49.280 So you got that.

00:40:52.000 Michigan State

00:40:53.240 University,

00:40:55.300 they pressured

00:40:56.600 Stephen Sue,

00:40:58.460 HSU,

00:40:59.300 I don't know

00:40:59.600 if I can pronounce

00:41:00.220 his name right,

00:41:01.120 I think it's Sue,

00:41:02.300 to resign from his position

00:41:03.920 as Vice President

00:41:04.540 of Research

00:41:05.240 because he talked

00:41:08.160 about some research

00:41:09.760 that came from

00:41:10.580 that university.

00:41:12.420 It wasn't his own.

00:41:13.920 So he was referring to

00:41:15.540 in a tweet,

00:41:16.300 I guess,

00:41:17.260 some research

00:41:18.080 that his own university

00:41:19.520 did,

00:41:19.920 but not him.

00:41:20.760 It wasn't anything

00:41:21.340 he was involved in

00:41:22.220 that showed

00:41:23.580 that

00:41:24.040 there wasn't

00:41:29.020 much difference

00:41:29.620 between police

00:41:30.400 shootings

00:41:30.740 of black

00:41:31.700 and white Americans.

00:41:33.540 So just referring

00:41:34.540 to research

00:41:35.340 from his own

00:41:36.200 institution

00:41:36.960 got him

00:41:38.100 pressured

00:41:38.420 to leave

00:41:39.300 his position

00:41:39.920 as Vice President

00:41:41.920 of Research.

00:41:42.560 Now,

00:41:44.260 apparently,

00:41:46.980 he also

00:41:47.480 was accused

00:41:48.540 of some

00:41:49.160 tweet

00:41:49.620 about

00:41:50.060 genetic

00:41:51.320 differences

00:41:51.860 and

00:41:53.500 the context

00:41:54.860 which they leave

00:41:55.520 out is that

00:41:56.040 that's his field.

00:41:57.720 His field

00:41:58.680 is genetics.

00:42:00.640 That's like

00:42:01.080 his field.

00:42:02.340 So he tweeted

00:42:03.040 out something

00:42:03.560 from his field

00:42:04.480 and he's going

00:42:05.840 to lose his job

00:42:06.500 for it.

00:42:07.180 It wasn't even

00:42:07.720 something he did.

00:42:09.140 It was just

00:42:09.600 something he talked

00:42:10.240 about in his field.

00:42:11.380 All right.

00:42:13.340 So I guess

00:42:14.220 you can't

00:42:14.740 talk about

00:42:15.900 stuff

00:42:16.360 without getting

00:42:17.260 canceled.

00:42:21.440 Let's see.

00:42:22.240 What else

00:42:22.500 we got going on?

00:42:24.380 You know,

00:42:24.940 the hardest part

00:42:25.520 about our

00:42:26.540 politicians

00:42:27.100 handling the

00:42:28.000 protests

00:42:28.640 and the

00:42:29.560 occupied zones

00:42:30.400 is that nobody

00:42:31.440 and also the

00:42:32.340 coronavirus

00:42:32.840 is the same

00:42:33.480 problem

00:42:33.820 is that

00:42:34.680 we don't

00:42:35.320 let leaders

00:42:36.240 do

00:42:37.500 math

00:42:39.160 with people's

00:42:40.080 lives.

00:42:40.560 and it's

00:42:41.780 the whole

00:42:42.120 job.

00:42:43.260 The job

00:42:43.900 of a leader

00:42:44.420 is to make

00:42:45.200 hard decisions

00:42:46.560 in which you

00:42:47.800 know that no

00:42:48.400 matter which

00:42:48.860 way you go

00:42:49.540 somebody's

00:42:50.180 going to

00:42:50.460 die.

00:42:51.540 But it'll

00:42:52.000 be different

00:42:52.460 people

00:42:52.900 depending on

00:42:54.260 the path

00:42:54.800 you take

00:42:55.360 and you're

00:42:56.600 only trying

00:42:57.060 to have

00:42:57.380 the fewest

00:42:57.960 of them

00:42:58.340 die

00:42:58.740 if you

00:42:59.440 can.

00:43:01.000 So leaders

00:43:01.860 are usually

00:43:02.460 choosing among

00:43:03.460 paths in which

00:43:04.440 somebody's going

00:43:05.040 to die.

00:43:06.260 You know,

00:43:06.580 even the social

00:43:07.320 stuff,

00:43:07.720 not just

00:43:08.160 international war

00:43:09.320 stuff, but

00:43:10.440 even social

00:43:11.000 stuff.

00:43:11.440 If you

00:43:11.620 don't have

00:43:12.020 enough of

00:43:12.380 a social

00:43:12.780 net, people

00:43:13.940 die, for

00:43:16.320 example.

00:43:17.980 So with

00:43:18.940 the coronavirus,

00:43:20.140 the thing

00:43:20.900 that Trump

00:43:21.840 can't say,

00:43:22.880 the thing

00:43:23.140 that Republicans

00:43:23.700 can't say,

00:43:24.420 the thing

00:43:24.680 that no

00:43:25.060 politician can

00:43:25.880 say is

00:43:27.020 this, because

00:43:28.760 this is what

00:43:29.400 a leader would

00:43:30.180 say.

00:43:31.240 Here's the

00:43:31.980 deal.

00:43:33.200 The economy

00:43:34.300 is just

00:43:35.920 another way

00:43:36.760 of expressing

00:43:38.520 lives.

00:43:40.060 In other

00:43:40.420 words, if

00:43:41.100 I say

00:43:41.580 GDP of

00:43:43.140 1%, you

00:43:44.800 could translate

00:43:45.520 that directly

00:43:46.520 into saved

00:43:48.480 10,000 lives

00:43:49.640 or whatever

00:43:50.020 it is,

00:43:50.700 because economics

00:43:51.780 and people

00:43:52.920 living or

00:43:53.560 dying are

00:43:54.380 so connected

00:43:55.040 that it's

00:43:55.920 almost like

00:43:56.460 just another

00:43:56.960 word for

00:43:57.520 how many

00:43:58.060 people survive.

00:43:59.940 So if you

00:44:01.140 were a real

00:44:01.580 leader, you

00:44:02.020 would say

00:44:02.380 something like

00:44:03.080 this.

00:44:03.600 We'd like to

00:44:04.460 reopen the

00:44:05.180 state.

00:44:05.540 we know

00:44:06.600 infections will

00:44:07.360 continue to

00:44:08.060 go up, but

00:44:09.140 it will be

00:44:09.560 good for the

00:44:10.140 economy.

00:44:11.120 And the

00:44:11.560 reason we're

00:44:12.000 doing this

00:44:12.600 seems cruel

00:44:13.540 because it's

00:44:13.960 good for the

00:44:14.420 economy, which

00:44:15.240 seems like

00:44:15.680 cold, capitalist

00:44:17.260 thinking, but

00:44:18.660 actual real

00:44:19.400 people will

00:44:20.000 die.

00:44:20.960 Your

00:44:21.120 grandmother

00:44:21.560 might die

00:44:22.440 if we make

00:44:23.280 this decision.

00:44:24.460 But I, as

00:44:25.560 a leader, have

00:44:26.700 decided that

00:44:28.000 people will

00:44:28.520 also die if

00:44:29.520 the economy

00:44:30.060 is bad.

00:44:31.040 It takes a

00:44:32.120 little longer,

00:44:33.080 but even more

00:44:33.780 people could die

00:44:34.440 if we don't

00:44:35.080 get our

00:44:35.560 economy going.

00:44:36.900 So I've

00:44:37.980 decided that

00:44:38.700 if 20,000

00:44:40.820 people have

00:44:41.380 to die

00:44:41.860 because of

00:44:42.820 coronavirus, but

00:44:44.300 the benefit

00:44:44.800 will be

00:44:45.180 open to the

00:44:45.820 economy, my

00:44:47.200 hunch is,

00:44:49.060 because I

00:44:49.540 can't prove

00:44:50.060 it, my

00:44:51.240 hunch is

00:44:52.300 that I'll

00:44:52.600 save more

00:44:53.180 than 20,000

00:44:53.980 people, but

00:44:55.380 different people

00:44:56.180 by doing

00:44:57.620 this.

00:44:58.360 So yes, I'm

00:44:59.120 making a

00:44:59.520 decision in

00:45:00.000 which 20,000

00:45:00.720 people are

00:45:01.160 going to die

00:45:01.660 who would

00:45:02.040 not have

00:45:02.440 died if we

00:45:03.860 had stayed

00:45:04.260 closed.

00:45:06.840 Theoretically,

00:45:07.500 because we

00:45:07.760 get to a

00:45:08.240 vaccine someday

00:45:09.000 maybe.

00:45:10.460 But I'm

00:45:11.020 going to

00:45:11.140 make a

00:45:11.420 decision.

00:45:11.980 20,000

00:45:12.560 people might

00:45:13.160 die, but

00:45:14.240 I think we're

00:45:14.840 still going to

00:45:15.320 come out

00:45:15.720 ahead because

00:45:17.820 we'll save

00:45:18.560 more than

00:45:19.040 20,000 by

00:45:20.000 having a

00:45:21.100 functioning

00:45:21.660 economy.

00:45:23.180 Now, that's

00:45:23.700 what a leader

00:45:25.040 needs to say,

00:45:25.760 but you would

00:45:26.120 lose your job

00:45:26.840 immediately upon

00:45:27.740 saying that.

00:45:28.680 So we as

00:45:29.320 citizens do a 0.67

00:45:30.120 terrible job of

00:45:31.300 supporting our

00:45:31.960 leaders because

00:45:33.080 we can't let

00:45:33.820 our leaders

00:45:34.300 say the

00:45:34.780 truth.

00:45:36.140 We can't.

00:45:38.460 I'm being

00:45:39.120 prompted.

00:45:40.080 I forget

00:45:40.780 where it was,

00:45:41.740 but there was

00:45:42.340 a statue of

00:45:43.120 an elk,

00:45:44.280 E-L-K, 1.00

00:45:45.600 an elk,

00:45:46.280 you know,

00:45:46.500 a big animal

00:45:47.420 that was set

00:45:48.720 on fire and

00:45:49.480 defaced, I

00:45:50.260 guess because

00:45:50.720 it was a

00:45:51.140 statue.

00:45:53.040 And I

00:45:54.300 agree with

00:45:54.720 that because

00:45:55.180 I went to

00:45:55.700 an elk's

00:45:56.240 club meeting

00:45:56.740 once and

00:45:57.180 they were

00:45:57.520 all white.

00:45:59.080 So I get

00:45:59.860 why they're

00:46:00.220 getting rid of

00:46:00.660 those elk

00:46:01.140 statues,

00:46:02.580 even if

00:46:03.840 they're not

00:46:04.140 related to

00:46:04.640 the elk's

00:46:05.040 club.

00:46:06.020 It just,

00:46:06.460 you know,

00:46:06.680 symbolism,

00:46:07.540 symbolism is

00:46:08.340 important.

00:46:09.480 So you also

00:46:10.400 have the

00:46:10.620 story about

00:46:11.120 the recent

00:46:12.380 Harvard

00:46:12.780 graduate,

00:46:13.760 a woman,

00:46:15.740 who said

00:46:16.500 she wanted

00:46:16.820 to stab

00:46:17.500 anybody who

00:46:18.120 said all

00:46:18.620 lives matter,

00:46:19.840 Trump supporters

00:46:20.400 mostly,

00:46:21.600 and that

00:46:22.460 caused her

00:46:23.040 to lose

00:46:24.180 her job

00:46:24.780 at Deloitte

00:46:25.620 and she

00:46:28.660 was back

00:46:29.240 on film

00:46:29.780 crying about

00:46:30.420 it.

00:46:31.660 Now,

00:46:32.920 have they

00:46:33.920 lowered the

00:46:34.520 standards for

00:46:35.200 Harvard?

00:46:36.080 Because you

00:46:37.320 would expect

00:46:37.920 somebody from

00:46:38.780 Harvard,

00:46:40.340 somewhere in

00:46:41.280 that educational

00:46:42.040 process,

00:46:43.540 you'd think

00:46:44.020 somewhere they

00:46:45.400 would have

00:46:45.680 been taught

00:46:46.280 don't go on

00:46:47.800 social media

00:46:48.500 and threaten

00:46:49.120 to kill your 0.93

00:46:49.880 political rivals

00:46:50.920 by stabbing

00:46:52.240 them to

00:46:52.640 death.

00:46:52.980 it's just

00:46:56.040 not really

00:46:56.600 good for

00:46:56.960 your future

00:46:57.420 employment.

00:46:58.720 But I guess

00:46:59.180 that didn't

00:46:59.580 come up.

00:47:00.500 Now,

00:47:00.840 here's what

00:47:01.560 I think

00:47:02.440 this really

00:47:02.900 tells you.

00:47:04.100 Imagine

00:47:04.580 somebody going

00:47:05.380 through Harvard

00:47:05.920 and then doing

00:47:06.640 this video

00:47:07.240 saying that

00:47:07.900 she wanted

00:47:08.240 to literally

00:47:08.760 stab

00:47:09.340 Trump supporters

00:47:10.160 and,

00:47:11.040 you know,

00:47:11.160 did the

00:47:11.460 motion,

00:47:11.900 stab, 0.80

00:47:12.300 stab, 0.80

00:47:12.580 stab, 0.80

00:47:12.800 and she

00:47:13.000 was actually

00:47:13.420 very angry.

00:47:14.940 And tell me,

00:47:16.020 how could you

00:47:16.520 go through

00:47:16.880 that whole

00:47:17.320 process

00:47:17.980 and not

00:47:19.160 know that

00:47:19.620 that would

00:47:19.920 get you

00:47:20.240 in trouble?

00:47:21.800 It has

00:47:22.460 to be

00:47:22.780 that she

00:47:23.280 had been

00:47:23.680 so in

00:47:25.440 a bubble

00:47:26.000 of like-minded

00:47:27.400 people

00:47:27.900 that she

00:47:28.940 literally

00:47:29.520 couldn't

00:47:30.140 imagine

00:47:30.720 that there

00:47:32.200 was somebody

00:47:32.700 else in the

00:47:33.260 world who

00:47:33.800 was seeing

00:47:34.160 the video

00:47:34.640 and that

00:47:35.500 they might

00:47:35.820 not appreciate

00:47:36.500 the enthusiasm

00:47:38.500 with which

00:47:39.420 she would

00:47:40.480 like to see

00:47:40.980 them killed.

00:47:43.140 I mean,

00:47:43.680 if you assume

00:47:45.540 that her IQ 0.99

00:47:46.280 was probably

00:47:46.820 very high

00:47:47.600 because she

00:47:48.000 got into

00:47:48.420 Harvard,

00:47:48.920 right?

00:47:49.340 These are

00:47:49.820 not dumb

00:47:50.300 people.

00:47:51.180 Harvard

00:47:51.380 does not

00:47:51.840 produce

00:47:52.160 dumb

00:47:52.440 people.

00:47:53.080 It just

00:47:53.340 doesn't

00:47:53.600 happen.

00:47:55.020 So the

00:47:55.540 only explanation

00:47:56.320 is that she

00:47:57.040 was in

00:47:57.340 such a bubble

00:47:58.280 she didn't

00:47:59.240 even know

00:47:59.600 the other

00:47:59.920 world existed,

00:48:01.800 which is

00:48:02.460 tragic in

00:48:03.660 her case.

00:48:04.660 So I think

00:48:05.080 Harvard

00:48:05.540 failed her

00:48:06.440 hard and

00:48:08.120 that cost

00:48:08.820 her.

00:48:11.020 Here's a

00:48:11.700 story of a

00:48:12.640 racist story

00:48:13.360 of a guy

00:48:13.940 named Paul

00:48:14.900 McCowns.

00:48:15.700 He was an

00:48:16.100 African-American

00:48:16.640 man who

00:48:17.120 walked into

00:48:17.560 an Ohio

00:48:18.060 bank

00:48:18.400 recently

00:48:18.820 clutching,

00:48:20.200 they say,

00:48:20.640 his first

00:48:21.200 paycheck.

00:48:22.000 Why do

00:48:22.240 you have

00:48:22.440 to say

00:48:22.740 clutching?

00:48:24.200 That's

00:48:24.680 racist.

00:48:25.280 So the

00:48:25.520 story itself

00:48:26.140 is racist. 0.81

00:48:27.500 He's not

00:48:28.020 clutching

00:48:28.580 his first

00:48:29.100 paycheck.

00:48:30.380 He has

00:48:31.260 a paycheck.

00:48:32.940 How about

00:48:33.320 that?

00:48:34.560 But if he's

00:48:35.560 a black

00:48:35.900 man,

00:48:36.180 he's

00:48:36.360 clutching

00:48:36.760 it?

00:48:37.640 No,

00:48:37.880 I don't

00:48:38.040 think he

00:48:38.300 was

00:48:38.440 clutching

00:48:39.080 his

00:48:39.300 paycheck.

00:48:40.060 He

00:48:40.300 just

00:48:40.520 had it.

00:48:41.520 Went

00:48:41.760 into the

00:48:42.060 bank.

00:48:42.600 All right,

00:48:42.840 so that's

00:48:43.080 my rant.

00:48:43.500 So he

00:48:45.200 got a

00:48:45.440 new job

00:48:45.800 at an

00:48:46.000 electric

00:48:46.220 company,

00:48:46.860 took in

00:48:47.140 his first

00:48:47.580 paycheck,

00:48:48.220 it was

00:48:48.360 $1,000,

00:48:49.480 and the

00:48:50.520 teller

00:48:51.300 called the

00:48:51.740 police.

00:48:52.980 So the

00:48:53.620 story is

00:48:54.160 racist

00:48:54.660 teller

00:48:55.340 calls the

00:48:56.620 police

00:48:57.060 a black

00:48:58.500 man who

00:48:58.920 was just

00:48:59.180 trying to

00:48:59.580 cash a

00:48:59.980 check.

00:49:01.320 Just

00:49:01.780 tried to

00:49:02.220 cash a

00:49:02.660 check.

00:49:03.680 Now,

00:49:04.600 what is it

00:49:05.160 they don't

00:49:05.640 tell you

00:49:06.060 in this

00:49:06.420 story?

00:49:07.620 Well,

00:49:07.920 that's why

00:49:08.300 I'm here.

00:49:09.180 Because I

00:49:09.860 used to

00:49:10.540 be a

00:49:11.020 bank

00:49:11.360 teller.

00:49:12.700 I

00:49:13.180 have

00:49:13.880 refused

00:49:14.360 to

00:49:14.680 cash

00:49:15.080 the

00:49:15.820 checks

00:49:16.160 for

00:49:16.820 white

00:49:17.140 people.

00:49:18.760 Allow

00:49:19.240 me to

00:49:19.600 tell you

00:49:19.860 the

00:49:20.040 following

00:49:20.340 story,

00:49:21.600 very much

00:49:22.360 like this,

00:49:22.980 but without

00:49:23.340 the calling

00:49:23.800 the police

00:49:24.300 part.

00:49:25.940 When I

00:49:26.340 was a

00:49:26.540 bank

00:49:26.700 teller,

00:49:27.040 a man

00:49:27.180 walked

00:49:27.440 into

00:49:27.680 my

00:49:28.700 branch,

00:49:31.140 put a

00:49:31.640 check on

00:49:32.100 the

00:49:32.400 counter,

00:49:33.180 I think

00:49:33.500 it was

00:49:33.660 like $5,000

00:49:34.440 or something,

00:49:35.980 which was

00:49:37.140 a lot of

00:49:37.480 money back

00:49:37.880 in those

00:49:38.680 days,

00:49:39.240 and I

00:49:40.060 asked him

00:49:40.420 if he

00:49:40.640 had an

00:49:40.880 account

00:49:41.220 at my

00:49:41.880 bank,

00:49:42.180 and he

00:49:42.380 said he

00:49:42.680 did not.

00:49:43.620 Then I

00:49:44.260 asked him,

00:49:45.160 the

00:49:49.140 check he

00:49:50.580 wanted to

00:49:50.920 cash was

00:49:51.420 too big

00:49:52.120 for my

00:49:52.940 level of

00:49:53.560 approval as

00:49:54.440 a teller,

00:49:55.160 because he

00:49:55.960 didn't have

00:49:56.340 an account.

00:49:57.320 But the

00:49:57.800 check he

00:49:58.420 was cashing

00:49:58.980 did have

00:49:59.500 an account,

00:50:00.160 so that's

00:50:00.460 why you

00:50:00.760 go to

00:50:01.000 that bank,

00:50:01.680 because that's

00:50:02.440 the bank

00:50:03.640 where the

00:50:05.260 money is

00:50:05.660 coming from,

00:50:06.440 and sometimes

00:50:06.900 you can

00:50:07.280 cash it

00:50:07.660 there.

00:50:07.860 So I

00:50:09.720 said,

00:50:10.020 I can't

00:50:10.320 cash this

00:50:10.740 check for

00:50:11.120 you,

00:50:11.320 but I'll

00:50:11.600 get a

00:50:12.240 manager to

00:50:13.540 see if they

00:50:13.900 can.

00:50:14.680 So I get a

00:50:15.160 manager,

00:50:15.940 and he

00:50:16.780 waits patiently,

00:50:17.880 and I wait on

00:50:18.880 other customers

00:50:19.600 while he's

00:50:19.980 waiting for the

00:50:20.500 manager,

00:50:20.800 and he's just

00:50:21.940 waiting and

00:50:22.520 waiting,

00:50:22.960 just perfectly

00:50:23.720 nice guy,

00:50:25.420 just waiting.

00:50:26.940 And the

00:50:27.920 manager comes

00:50:28.460 over,

00:50:28.980 and she

00:50:29.300 approves it,

00:50:29.980 and I pay him

00:50:31.200 his money.

00:50:32.340 And afterwards,

00:50:33.140 my manager

00:50:33.580 comes over,

00:50:34.220 and she

00:50:34.400 says,

00:50:34.880 do you know

00:50:35.780 whose check

00:50:36.320 you just

00:50:36.700 refused to

00:50:37.440 cash?

00:50:38.520 And I go,

00:50:39.820 not really,

00:50:40.500 I mean,

00:50:40.740 I looked at

00:50:41.200 his name,

00:50:41.860 because that

00:50:42.440 was part of

00:50:42.800 the process,

00:50:43.620 but you don't

00:50:44.140 really register

00:50:44.780 names when

00:50:45.400 you're a

00:50:45.680 teller,

00:50:46.280 it's just

00:50:47.380 information

00:50:47.880 flying by.

00:50:49.140 And she

00:50:49.380 goes,

00:50:49.680 you just

00:50:50.140 refused to

00:50:50.860 cash a

00:50:51.280 check for

00:50:51.700 Bill Packard,

00:50:53.340 the founder

00:50:53.960 of Hewlett

00:50:54.600 Packard,

00:50:55.680 one of the

00:50:56.140 richest men

00:50:56.700 in the

00:50:56.960 country,

00:50:57.840 you just

00:50:58.280 refused to

00:50:58.920 cash his

00:50:59.360 check.

00:50:59.720 You know

00:51:01.880 why?

00:51:02.940 Didn't

00:51:03.380 trust him.

00:51:04.640 I didn't

00:51:04.980 trust him.

00:51:06.500 I did

00:51:07.140 not trust

00:51:07.840 a billionaire

00:51:09.060 white guy,

00:51:10.180 because he

00:51:10.680 didn't bank

00:51:11.200 at my

00:51:11.440 bank.

00:51:12.200 I'm sorry.

00:51:13.680 Now,

00:51:14.300 keep that

00:51:15.440 in mind.

00:51:16.100 Now,

00:51:16.360 here's the

00:51:16.700 story of

00:51:17.620 a guy who

00:51:18.080 also did

00:51:18.980 not bank

00:51:19.500 at the

00:51:19.760 bank,

00:51:20.720 same as

00:51:21.300 the billionaire

00:51:22.520 I turned

00:51:23.060 down.

00:51:23.880 So if he

00:51:24.440 was turned

00:51:24.820 down,

00:51:25.520 or somebody

00:51:26.660 went to

00:51:27.020 the manager,

00:51:27.640 you'd say,

00:51:28.040 that's just

00:51:28.320 part of the

00:51:28.640 process.

00:51:29.520 Right?

00:51:29.720 That's not

00:51:30.160 racist.

00:51:31.240 But whereas

00:51:32.320 I did not

00:51:32.960 call 911

00:51:33.740 for Bill

00:51:34.500 Packard,

00:51:35.820 this teller

00:51:36.540 did call

00:51:37.040 and said,

00:51:38.100 quote,

00:51:38.740 I have a

00:51:39.240 customer here.

00:51:40.000 He's not

00:51:40.400 our customer.

00:51:41.560 Check.

00:51:42.820 Actually,

00:51:43.500 she says,

00:51:44.200 and he's

00:51:44.820 trying to

00:51:45.200 cash a

00:51:45.620 check,

00:51:46.100 and the

00:51:46.640 check is

00:51:47.060 fraudulent.

00:51:48.380 It does

00:51:48.980 not match

00:51:49.540 our records.

00:51:50.900 What's that

00:51:51.360 mean?

00:51:52.480 Now,

00:51:52.760 if you've

00:51:53.020 been a

00:51:53.280 bank teller,

00:51:54.140 let me

00:51:54.460 tell you

00:51:54.720 what it

00:51:54.920 means.

00:51:55.820 The

00:51:56.220 check was

00:51:56.920 written on

00:51:57.360 an account

00:51:57.780 from that

00:51:58.380 bank.

00:51:58.760 the bank

00:51:59.820 teller has

00:52:00.620 access to

00:52:01.420 the records

00:52:02.140 of that

00:52:03.280 account.

00:52:04.200 So the

00:52:04.720 teller looked

00:52:05.680 at the

00:52:05.980 check,

00:52:06.700 looked at

00:52:07.480 the number

00:52:07.880 on the

00:52:08.180 check,

00:52:09.160 looked at

00:52:09.600 the amount

00:52:10.020 on the

00:52:10.320 check,

00:52:11.200 and then

00:52:11.960 presumably,

00:52:13.540 I don't know,

00:52:14.020 checked the

00:52:14.560 numbers on

00:52:15.400 her list.

00:52:16.540 Maybe it was

00:52:16.940 out of order.

00:52:17.940 Maybe there

00:52:18.320 was something

00:52:18.720 irregular.

00:52:19.200 there was

00:52:20.520 something that

00:52:21.460 the teller

00:52:22.080 checked that

00:52:23.620 tipped her

00:52:24.120 off that

00:52:24.720 the check

00:52:25.160 was fraudulent.

00:52:27.080 Was it,

00:52:27.980 for example,

00:52:29.500 a $100

00:52:30.100 check that

00:52:31.180 had a

00:52:31.480 zero added?

00:52:32.940 That probably

00:52:33.820 can't happen.

00:52:35.080 Was there

00:52:35.920 something about

00:52:36.760 it that didn't

00:52:37.600 look right that

00:52:38.840 was just a

00:52:39.420 mistake?

00:52:40.780 Because if it

00:52:41.820 was just a

00:52:42.380 mistake, like

00:52:43.640 there was

00:52:43.840 something hinky

00:52:44.520 about the

00:52:44.980 check but it

00:52:45.540 was otherwise

00:52:45.960 fine,

00:52:46.580 was she

00:52:48.220 allowed to

00:52:48.980 call 911

00:52:49.620 and announce

00:52:51.680 a crime?

00:52:52.960 Maybe.

00:52:53.840 That might

00:52:54.300 have actually

00:52:54.720 been,

00:52:55.560 that might

00:52:57.220 have been,

00:52:57.680 that might

00:52:58.980 have been

00:52:59.180 the actual

00:52:59.580 process.

00:53:00.400 So when you

00:53:01.060 hear this

00:53:01.400 story, the

00:53:01.860 part that's

00:53:02.320 left out is

00:53:03.420 why did the

00:53:04.100 color, why

00:53:05.040 did the

00:53:05.360 bank teller

00:53:05.920 call 911?

00:53:07.500 You don't

00:53:08.560 call the

00:53:09.080 bank teller,

00:53:10.500 the bank teller

00:53:11.680 does not call

00:53:12.580 the police

00:53:13.340 unless it's

00:53:15.100 obviously a

00:53:15.860 crime.

00:53:16.580 You don't

00:53:17.620 call the

00:53:18.060 police because

00:53:18.860 black people

00:53:19.540 cash checks.

00:53:20.900 This story is

00:53:22.280 racist shit

00:53:23.620 because it's

00:53:25.340 not true.

00:53:26.780 It's just

00:53:27.260 not true.

00:53:28.640 Meaning that

00:53:29.740 the context

00:53:30.480 is left out

00:53:31.220 of why the

00:53:32.020 teller thought

00:53:33.180 there was a

00:53:33.700 crime.

00:53:34.680 It doesn't

00:53:35.380 have anything

00:53:35.820 to do with

00:53:36.260 black.

00:53:37.480 It was a

00:53:38.220 check.

00:53:39.140 Either this

00:53:39.740 check looks

00:53:40.980 like it works,

00:53:42.680 you know, in

00:53:42.960 other words,

00:53:43.320 it's compatible

00:53:43.880 with the

00:53:44.340 records and

00:53:44.980 what you

00:53:45.760 know,

00:53:46.060 or it

00:53:46.840 doesn't.

00:53:47.540 It had

00:53:47.860 nothing to

00:53:48.340 do with

00:53:48.580 the race

00:53:48.920 of the

00:53:49.160 person

00:53:49.460 there.

00:53:49.900 Nothing.

00:53:51.060 And any

00:53:51.780 bank teller

00:53:52.400 will agree

00:53:53.000 with me.

00:53:54.380 Ask anybody

00:53:55.320 who's done

00:53:55.700 the job

00:53:56.340 of a

00:53:56.700 bank teller,

00:53:57.860 do you

00:53:58.980 think that's

00:53:59.420 a racist

00:53:59.760 story or

00:54:00.380 there was

00:54:00.640 just something

00:54:01.040 wrong with

00:54:01.460 the check?

00:54:01.840 a hundred

00:54:03.120 percent of

00:54:03.700 the tellers

00:54:04.540 will say,

00:54:05.680 well, if

00:54:06.120 there was

00:54:06.560 something wrong

00:54:07.140 with the

00:54:07.420 check, which

00:54:08.360 we still need

00:54:08.820 to find out

00:54:09.300 by the way,

00:54:10.300 if there was

00:54:10.860 something wrong

00:54:11.300 with the

00:54:11.520 check, that's

00:54:12.500 kind of the

00:54:13.080 end of the

00:54:13.500 story.

00:54:14.240 Because do you

00:54:14.780 know what

00:54:15.000 happens to a

00:54:15.580 bank teller if

00:54:16.260 they cash a

00:54:16.840 bad check?

00:54:18.180 Let me ask

00:54:18.660 you.

00:54:19.220 Do you know

00:54:19.600 what happens

00:54:20.140 to a bank

00:54:20.740 teller?

00:54:21.460 Oh, I just

00:54:21.820 took my ring

00:54:22.780 off for typing.

00:54:24.020 Somebody's asking

00:54:24.600 me about my

00:54:25.100 ring.

00:54:25.420 Yeah, I'm still

00:54:25.840 getting married.

00:54:26.320 But it's

00:54:30.340 hard to type

00:54:31.840 sometimes with

00:54:32.560 a ring.

00:54:33.740 Do you have

00:54:34.100 that problem?

00:54:35.400 This finger

00:54:36.140 doesn't feel like

00:54:36.840 it's flying free

00:54:37.680 sometimes when

00:54:38.400 I'm typing.

00:54:40.920 But I'll get

00:54:41.640 used to it, I

00:54:42.100 think.

00:54:43.540 Anyway, so

00:54:44.460 that's a fake

00:54:45.180 racist story.

00:54:47.220 You can ask

00:54:48.140 any bank

00:54:48.580 teller to

00:54:49.400 find out.

00:54:50.820 All right.

00:54:56.320 Well, I think

00:54:57.420 I've done

00:54:58.300 everything I

00:54:59.060 wanted to do

00:54:59.660 here.

00:55:00.080 Let me just

00:55:00.420 see if there's

00:55:00.900 anything else

00:55:01.440 to talk about.

00:55:04.100 I don't think

00:55:04.880 so.

00:55:07.400 All right.

00:55:08.140 I think we

00:55:08.640 hit all the

00:55:09.000 high points.

00:55:09.960 Is there

00:55:10.120 anything I

00:55:10.480 missed?

00:55:11.700 The Ghislaine

00:55:12.260 Maxwell story

00:55:13.440 will be just

00:55:14.580 so tantalizing,

00:55:16.000 but we're not

00:55:16.680 going to know

00:55:16.980 anything for a

00:55:17.800 long time,

00:55:18.360 I'll bet.

00:55:22.620 Need more

00:55:23.320 practice?

00:55:26.320 Yeah, I'll

00:55:26.720 get used to

00:55:27.160 it.

00:55:28.380 I think I

00:55:29.020 just have to

00:55:29.440 get used to

00:55:30.060 it, but I

00:55:31.360 was actually

00:55:31.760 hitting the

00:55:32.240 wrong keys.

00:55:33.220 I actually

00:55:33.580 hit the

00:55:33.860 wrong keys

00:55:34.540 because it's

00:55:35.060 sort of a

00:55:35.480 thick ring.

00:55:37.920 Finish your

00:55:38.520 thought.

00:55:39.040 I think I

00:55:39.560 finished it.

00:55:43.560 All right.

00:55:44.440 Hard to rock

00:55:45.180 climb with a

00:55:45.780 ring.

00:55:50.420 All right.

00:55:51.160 That's all I

00:55:51.600 got for today,

00:55:52.360 and I will

00:55:53.140 see you

00:55:53.840 tomorrow.

00:55:56.320 All right.
