On today's show, I break down an anti-white tirade directed at a black couple and their infant on a subway train in New York City, and why it may have been directed at them based on their race.
00:03:41.880So as we can see in this video, the guy gets really belligerent right away.
00:03:47.860And he starts out just immediately attacking these, this couple based on the race.
00:03:53.280Now, again, I want to say that we don't know the context here.
00:03:58.040We don't know a lot about what happened beforehand.
00:04:00.000And to be really clear, no matter what happened before this, no matter what the context of this clip was, this guy going off on this couple like this, berating them there with their child is unacceptable.
00:04:11.980There is nothing that could justify this outburst.
00:04:15.540But I just want to cover the basis and say that we don't know what happened first.
00:04:19.140So, I mean, maybe they threw a ham sandwich at him or something.
00:05:41.440He seems very bent on attacking these people, about verbally berating them.
00:05:46.220And what he's bringing in is all kinds of insults, all kinds of slurs, all kinds of racial attacks that are the most cartoonish things.
00:05:55.480The things that, like, a Hollywood producer or, you know, some TV show writer would put in the mouths of racist people who are white.
00:06:04.460The very stereotypes that they would use to try to portray, you know, white people maybe from the South or something's racist.
00:06:11.580This guy is leveling all of them in this direction.
00:06:14.480And why does he feel so confident about that?
00:06:16.620Why does he feel like it's okay to do that?
00:06:19.320Well, I think everyone understands that if the roles were reversed, we'll do this real quick because we understand there's not a lot of value in this, but we'll just make it very clear real quick.
00:06:28.300If these roles were reversed, if this couple said something like this to the guy standing over here, or even worse, if there was some white guy berating a black couple and their child on the subway, that would be the end of their career.
00:06:42.320That would be the end of their public life, right?
00:06:46.440Their actions would be entirely unacceptable.
00:06:49.320They would lose their ability to have employment.
00:06:51.320They would lose their ability to have friends.
00:06:53.400They would be hunted down to the ends of the earth by the news media.
00:06:56.720We would have to hear endless diatribes about, you know, white supremacy in America, the lack of racial justice,
00:07:04.480the entitlement of white people feeling that they could talk to someone this way, especially a child, the physical threats of violence, the imminent, you know, threat to black bodies if these roles were reversed.
00:07:16.620But of course, you know, it's not hypocrisy.
00:07:20.120We know that just complaining about role reversal doesn't really mean anything because there is obviously a hierarchy being established here.
00:07:28.220This guy is very confident in his ability to go ahead and do this without any particular blowback, right?
00:07:34.880He doesn't expect to be hunted down by the news media.
00:07:38.260He doesn't expect to blow up on social media and become, you know, an enemy effectively of the state.
00:07:44.560He's not even expecting there to be any kind of legal ramifications, right?
00:07:48.860And to be clear, it doesn't seem like any of that did happen.
00:07:51.940As far as I can tell, it seems like this went completely under the radar because of the racial relationship here, because of the flow of power.
00:07:59.400This guy knows that he's not going to face the same kind of attacks.
00:08:05.360He's not going to face the same kind of scrutiny.
00:08:07.620He's not going to face the same kind of social pressure that would have happened if it was someone with white skin berating a black family that way.
00:08:16.460He understands the power dynamic existent here.
00:08:19.260And for all the things we have to hear about, you know, the power and white privilege and all those things in America, it's very clear this gentleman, again, sorry, not a gentleman, but just force of habit.
00:08:31.140This guy knows who has the power here.
00:08:41.220Masty ass mutating, permutating, corrugating, medialating, skin, skin, skin.
00:08:45.720Shut up, your body don't even last long enough.
00:08:47.480I'm going to look younger than him about to tell him he's my age.
00:08:50.260So again, we just see this continual attack, this bigot attack, this racial attack on this family.
00:08:56.440Now, I've seen a lot of people say, well, it's because the guy standing over here berating this family, he doesn't have anything to lose, right?
00:09:06.220He's probably some schizophrenic, he's some homeless guy, he's some drug addict, and he's used to going to jail.
00:09:15.100So he's fine with these kinds of confrontations because there's really no big loss for him if he goes ahead and engages with people in this way.
00:09:24.140Now, I'm less sure about that because, I mean, listen to the way this guy talks.
00:09:29.960I mean, he brought his thesaurus to this, right?
00:09:32.380He sounds pretty well practiced in this kind of rhetoric.
00:09:36.060Now, maybe, you know, he is just unhinged.
00:09:38.840But it feels like this is somebody who maybe isn't just your average, like, you know, smack junkie or something sitting on the subway.
00:09:46.560It feels like he has a very particular vocabulary that he has practiced and using to attack people of a different race, right?
00:10:39.180It was not about dismantling systemic racism in the United States or getting rid of hatred in the United States.
00:10:46.260The type of ideology preached in America's institutions, on American media, in American schools, the CRT, everything like this.
00:10:55.860The kind of ideology that's being advanced by people like Robin DiAngelo and people like Ibram X. Kendi is specifically designed to create this feeling, okay?
00:11:08.960He's talking about how much better he's going to be than their kid, how superior his genetics are, right?
00:11:14.340And he's going to go more into this as we talk about this.
00:11:45.800We, if this was, again, a white guy, we would know everything about him because he would already have been destroyed.
00:11:50.960He would have been made internet famous, right?
00:11:52.600And he would have been destroyed for talking to someone, a family of another race like this and intimidating them with the way that he's doing here.
00:12:01.000And of course, no criminal charge comes either.
00:12:03.740Now you might say, well, no crime is committed here.
00:12:05.400You're allowed to yell at people in public, even if you shouldn't do that.
00:12:08.820Well, maybe, but I've got a feeling that if a white guy did this to a black family, that they would find a way to charge him.
00:12:16.040I got a feeling that the police, that the, uh, would be pressured by the media and other institutions because we live in a media run state.
00:12:25.080You, your justice process is entirely based on your ability to get favorable media top cover.
00:12:31.500And so if this had been, again, the roles reversed again, sorry.
00:12:36.020I know that's a, but, but we gotta, we gotta do it for this one here.
00:12:39.580Then there would be a very different outcome.
00:12:42.820And this guy would have to think very carefully about engaging in this kind of rhetoric.
00:12:47.220Now I want to say a few things here and we'll get into a little more, but just initially, I know a lot of people had criticisms of this father.
00:12:56.040Uh, I saw a lot of people saying, Oh, why isn't he stepping up?
00:13:21.340And this guy looks relatively well-built.
00:13:23.640So even if this father is some kind of expert in a combat art, you know, he's, he's been taking his jujitsu or his judo.
00:13:31.220He's a good wrestler or a striker in a confined space.
00:13:35.260Like this is a very dangerous situation to have innocent people next to you, because if this guy is very determined to hurt his wife or his child, he can probably do it.
00:13:46.000Even if the husband again is, or the father here is very good in physical combat, either still a very decent likelihood that if this guy is determined that he can go ahead and hurt his loved ones.
00:13:58.260And again, you don't know the situation.
00:13:59.560You don't get this guy is armed, he's got a knife, he's got a gun, whatever.
00:14:03.160And so when you've got innocent people in an enclosed space like this, as difficult as it is, this guy is showing a lot of restraint, uh, because he has to, because he's putting, because otherwise he would be putting, you know, his, his, uh, family and physical danger.
00:14:18.520Some people saying, oh, he should have gotten between them.
00:14:21.420Um, but, but just saying there's, there's a reason he doesn't aggressively engage beyond obviously the racial dynamic, which we'll talk about a little more here in a second, but let's watch a little more of the film again here.
00:14:31.940I don't care about the ugly ass kids in your brain, shut up.
00:14:46.980So again, we see him breaking out the thesaurus again, maybe this guy is crazy, but he seems very well-practiced.
00:14:55.420This feels, feels like someone whose ideology is very well-informed by the world around him and the people who are telling him to behave this way.
00:15:05.340Now, a lot of people got angry at Scott Adams, right?
00:15:09.120He, he faced a lot of backlash for saying, I don't want to be involved.
00:15:13.920I don't want to be around communities that are taught to hate me.
00:15:18.600People who are, who are taught specifically a rhetoric of hate towards me simply due to the color of my skin.
00:15:25.060And for that, he got canceled from all kinds of stuff here.
00:15:28.680Now, do you think that this family is going to ride a train, ride a subway in New York again?
00:15:34.260So you've always been picky about your produce.
00:15:36.360But now you find yourself checking every label to make sure it's Canadian.
00:15:50.920Do you think they're going to choose to put themselves back in this situation, understanding all the dynamics at play, right?
00:15:59.380And so people have, of course, berated Scott Adams, but then the author of this kind of ideology,
00:16:04.860people like Robin DiAngelo were just, you know, it was just revealed that she was on camera just a few days ago.
00:16:12.980The footage came out and she said that there should be what we call, they are now calling affinity spaces.
00:16:19.760She said black people should get away from white people.
00:16:22.160They shouldn't have to interact with white people.
00:16:23.600They should basically create segregated spaces and the white people in them should go through struggle sessions to understand how evil they were.
00:16:31.580And, you know, the people of color should be affirmed in their identities and come through, you know, come out with different strategies and how to survive in a world of white supremacy.
00:16:40.520I don't know if this guy looks like he feels like he lives in a world of white supremacy.
00:16:45.140It feels like he knows who has the power in this situation, right?
00:16:49.240He knows who has the sanction of the state and the sanction of the media when it comes to this interaction.
00:16:56.600He knows who feels superior and he doesn't just feel that he expresses it deliberately, right?
00:17:03.360He tells them, I don't care about you, you're white.
00:17:06.240He, he regularly derides them on down to a genetic level for being white, right?
00:17:12.820He tells them specifically how he feels about that.
00:17:16.820And so it feels like this is a guy who's very practiced in his rhetoric and understands the, the power dynamic at play here.
00:17:23.080And he understands the power dynamic is not one in which he is the victim and the families are the oppressors or the families are the ones who have the power here, right?
00:17:32.760Now let's talk a little bit about the, the possible interaction as well on the side again of the husband.
00:17:39.860We understand just in, just in a physical combat scenario, this is a bad place for him to be with a vulnerable wife and child in this enclosed space.
00:17:49.700So we already know why he wouldn't act on that level, but you have to also understand, of course, the racial dynamic here.
00:17:56.100If this guy gets up and delivers a similar tirade, if he snaps back at this guy holding the target bag, his life is destroyed, right?
00:18:07.660If he meets, if he meets his level of rhetoric, then he's going to be absolutely destroyed.
00:18:13.200He will lose any opportunity to be employed.
00:18:16.500He will lose any opportunity to exist in the public.
00:18:20.580He, you know, could lose his ability to the bank.
00:18:24.120His entire life could be entirely destroyed just because he's trying to defend the honor of his wife and his child.
00:18:32.060And there are a lot of women on social media, on Twitter saying, where are the real men?
00:18:37.840Why isn't there a real man who will stand up in this situation?
00:18:41.400And it's very obvious why that this guy is making the smart choice in this scenario, as sad as it is that society has put him in this position.
00:18:53.820He is making the correct choice in the scenario he's in, because even if he didn't match him verbally, even if he just physically put himself between this guy, that could be seen as an escalation.
00:19:05.300And again, they get into a confrontation, even with all the horrific anti-white rhetoric that this guy is spewing.
00:19:12.440It seems incredibly likely that if video comes out of this confrontation, you know, corporations at this point will just fire people just to avoid any kind of story.
00:19:25.320Your job can always be given to someone else.
00:19:27.180They can always bring someone in from another country or just, you know, exchange you with the next guy in line for a corporate job.
00:19:33.140And so even if you're in the right, even if this kind of video that totally justifies and shows that your action was initiated due to the aggressive and hateful behavior of another individual, just to avoid any kind of possible blowback, especially due to the racial relationship here, a company is just going to fire this guy.
00:19:57.540Not only that, but if he ends up in the situation, he doesn't know what the law enforcement dynamic is going to be.
00:20:04.760To be very clear, we live in a system that often results in a narco tyranny.
00:20:09.860Favored classes, people who have been raised up and made to feel superior, which this gentleman very, again, sorry, not a gentleman, but force habit.
00:20:19.820But this guy clearly feels like he's superior to these people due to them being white.
00:20:30.440It's not some kind of, you know, reading of the tea leaves.
00:20:33.720He's very explicit about his feeling about his supremacy due to his race as compared to these white people.
00:20:39.280And it doesn't really matter, even if he launches into this horrible tirade, if this husband gets involved in a combat with this guy, it's very likely that even in a law enforcement scenario, he's at the very least going to receive similar charges, right?
00:22:05.620And so he feels very confident because these institutions have manufactured the scenario that he's in right now that he can behave in this way without any kind of repercussions.
00:22:18.580And, again, it seems like he's right about that because as far as we can tell, no arrests, no tracking this guy down on social media, no doxing of him, no finding out and firing him.
00:22:46.800Well, you've now created a society, you manufactured a society where his best interaction, his wisest interaction, his smartest interaction.
00:22:56.320Is to defer, is to just get away as quickly as possible from the scenario because he's placed in a no-win situation due to both the cultural and possibly legal double standard that could be enforced here.
00:23:12.140We know that in places like New York, there's often a propensity to drop, uh, charges to avoid incarceration, particularly for groups that are considered to be disadvantaged or, uh, disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.
00:23:31.380And so there's entirely a scenario where this guy gets into a scuffle and ends up where the guy with the target bag who initiated this.
00:23:41.360This anti-white tirade and this attack on him could get out with little to no consequence while he faces serious charges.
00:23:49.700And if you have any doubt about that, you just check out things like the January 6th protesters versus BLM or Antifa rioters, right?
00:23:56.820We know that there is a dual standard in much of our justice system, especially in areas like New York that are filled with Soros-backed district attorneys and prosecutors.
00:24:29.660Seems like a very dangerous situation.
00:24:31.020I got a feeling that this family is not going to put themselves in that scenario again.
00:24:35.960Now also there's a social duty here, right?
00:24:39.380If you had a real social fabric, if you had a situation where you had a, a real social understanding, a real, uh, amount of.
00:24:52.560So of, uh, culture built up between these people, the people in this train would step up and they would say, no, we don't yell at people like that.
00:25:04.700That's not how we behave around here in our community.
00:25:31.300He's not, he doesn't, he only, he can isolate.
00:25:33.240One of the reasons he wins this confrontation without any altercation is because he knows that no one on this train is going to interact with this.
00:25:42.040And we see this all the time in big cities, right?
00:25:44.020Someone just goes nuts and everyone just stands around while some person gets beaten up.
00:26:03.460And that puts him in a very dangerous situation when there's no community, when there's no trust built up.
00:26:09.720In this train, in this subway, in this situation, each person is an individual on their own with no hope of anyone else stepping up and helping them to defend their loved ones.
00:26:23.180And so that's another reason why this husband has to be very careful about what's going on here.
00:27:05.640You don't, you don't have any value here.
00:27:07.460And so again, we understand that this is, this is supremacy, right?
00:27:11.480This is a supremacist language that he has been taught, that he has cultivated, that he has practiced, and he has brought this interaction.
00:27:34.020He has been influenced by the institutions, the culture around him to believe what he's saying.
00:27:39.060And he is bringing that to this interaction to the point where he's willing to explicitly state his belief in his racial superiority to these people and his position of power and privilege.
00:28:11.320He doesn't expect to have any of those consequences because of the power dynamic at play here.
00:28:16.520And we need to understand that as long as things like critical race theory are allowed to be communicated in schools, and as long as our institutions are allowed to treat people differently and adjust their things of applications like the law and media, you know, media is allowed to focus on things and destroy the lives of people.
00:28:39.000Again, just based on some perceived racial oppression, that this is only going to escalate, because how can it do anything else, right?
00:28:48.020People are being trained and taught that this behavior is acceptable.
00:28:53.400And you can only expect more of it when we continue to incentivize it in this way.
00:28:58.680If one group of people feels like they are more than fine and more than free to treat another group of people that way, then they will continue because that's just human nature.
00:29:08.000And it has to be completely unacceptable in our society.
00:29:12.140That said, let me go ahead and grab a few super chats we had here real quick.
00:29:21.120Yes, please make sure that you keep your super chats calm.
00:29:25.100Guys, I know it's a disturbing situation, but you do need to make sure not to rise to that level for, again, the same reason that we just talked about there.
00:29:33.460Super Joe's midlife crisis here for $10.
00:29:43.940They know academic hypotheticals disappear once the ideas filter down to street level, where the distinction between whiteness and white people means nothing.
00:29:52.420Yeah, I think that's incredibly important.
00:29:54.220That's a really good observation, Joe, because a lot of people say, like, okay, this is just Marxist theory.
00:30:01.440Okay, this is just some kind of really complicated postmodern Marxism, and that's why this is happening.
00:30:08.280But it's really important to understand that that justifying ideology, like you said, breaks down and filters down when it goes to kind of the average person.
00:30:18.680And the average person, unfortunately, reacts in this way, because that's how the ideology actually functions in practice.
00:30:26.540You can have these levels of extraction.
00:30:28.640Oh, whiteness is Western civilization, or it's a particular set of rules.
00:30:33.000And, well, it seems like he's very clear what whiteness is, what he's attacking.
00:30:37.360He's not attacking some kinds of abstraction.
00:30:40.060He's not attacking some kind of cultural norm, some kind of systemic oppression.
00:30:44.440He is attacking these people because of the color of their skin and his feeling of racial superiority.
00:30:51.360Like, he's, again, very specific about his genetic superiority to these people.
00:32:50.660Well, they changed the definition of racism from what everyone just kind of understood it to be,
00:32:55.220which was a terrible treatment of people based on the color of their skin.
00:32:58.700And by the way, worth the time here just to say it, you know, just to, you should not treat people terribly based on the color of their skin.
00:33:05.720It is actually just wrong to talk to anyone that way.
00:33:10.520The way this guy is acting is completely unacceptable.
00:33:13.640And that is, of course, really horrific.
00:33:16.720But they altered the definition of racism to keep it from being something universal that you could observe every group doing.
00:33:24.220And they said, no, racism is power and privilege plus hate, right?
00:33:29.500It's not just the treatment of the person.
00:33:31.840It's not just the hatred of the person based on the race.
00:33:33.820You need to have power in order to be racist.
00:33:37.480And because in the leftist construction, white people have all the power and people of color do not have any power, only white people can be racist because they have the power, the privilege, plus the hatred that allows for racism.
00:33:52.960And so they've completely redefined it.
00:33:55.000And if you try to say to any leftist, this guy is racist, you know, obviously maybe the average person might say, okay, yeah, I see that.
00:34:03.900But even average people that I talk to today, if you, if you talk to a lot of millennials and younger, when you talk to them about racism, they'll be like, oh, that's not racism.
00:34:11.940And if you ask them what the something else is, they don't really have a word for it, which is really interesting, right?
00:34:16.440That the vocabulary to understand the interaction between this black man yelling at this couple and their child who are what, because they are white, that there's no actual, uh, vocabulary for that interaction is a very interesting development, right?
00:34:34.740That's that, that's, that feels pretty intentional.
00:34:36.900No, uh, but the, uh, the fact that that vocabulary doesn't exist for a lot of people in the younger generation is very important.
00:34:46.120And so the, it is racist, you're right.
00:34:48.420It is, it is, uh, racism, but because racism has been redefined and, and the ability to cancel based on racism is controlled by leftists.
00:34:58.400I often don't use the word racist because the right has no ability to punish people who are racist.
00:35:22.140However, the right has no ability to enforce this, which is why people like Robin DiAngelo
00:35:28.100can say like black people need to get away from white people and face zero consequences.
00:35:32.920In fact, she'll just be cash in checks all day long for an ex corporate client.
00:35:37.040But Scott Adams says something that's kind of the same, except Scott Adams is just like, I don't want to be around people who are being taught to hate me.
00:35:45.540But he says that, and he's completely destroyed.
00:35:47.600So the control of the word racism, the public definition is not owned by the right.
00:35:52.580And the mechanisms of punishment and enforcement are not owned by the right.
00:35:56.840It is the left who control the definition and the left to control the power around the word.
00:36:02.960And that's why I tend not to use the word, even though it's original meaning would be obviously very accurate here, but I tend to shy away from using the word because I don't own the word.
00:36:13.040And that's something that people need to think about when they're using, when they have vocabulary, because.
00:36:17.820Most people, most younger generations are robbed of the vocabulary of how to define this interaction.
00:36:26.520They're like, uh, it's not racism, but it's something else, but they can't name it.
00:36:29.940And one of the key parts of linguistics is owning names.
00:36:35.000Controlling names is an incredible power.
00:36:38.100Okay, if people can't name a concept, if they can't name an event, if they can't identify and classify something, then they have a hard time opposing it.
00:36:49.500And so the fact that the left have demolished the language to discuss this event, this interaction, this flow of power, where this guy feels way more powerful.
00:37:02.220And way more privileged than the people he's attacking, and he feels more than fine attacking them based on the race due to his superiority.
00:37:11.080The fact that an entire generation or two have been robbed of the language to describe this interaction means something important.
00:37:28.140That's why, for instance, um, you know, there was, there was a conservative who wrote some kind of book and she was doing a interview and she couldn't define wokeness on the spot.
00:37:38.280And the left said, oh, see, the right doesn't even know what wokeness is.
00:37:53.700It's actually was originally created by, uh, the progressive community to define people of color who were aware of the oppression that they were feeling.
00:38:03.160And it's, it's been co-opted by the right.
00:38:05.200But either way, the point is that if you can rob a group of people of the ability to identify a situation, then you can rob them of the ability to address it.
00:38:14.880And that's why they attack words like woke, right?
00:38:19.600That's why they attack and redefine words like racist, because they know that controlling that language and, uh, and getting involved in altering people's ability to grasp concepts is a key part of winning an information war.
00:38:35.400Uh, let's see, uh, creeper weirdo for $5 guys, a literal line is involved here, a train line, but still it is indeed.
00:38:53.420I managed to deescalate a less severe altercation by peacocking physically and speaking in a plasm manner, saying things like no disrespect.
00:39:00.700Yeah, and so to be clear, maybe there is a better way for this guy to get involved, right?
00:39:09.520Uh, but what I'm saying is that his actions here are understandable and the people who are, who were insulting him and belittling him for acting in the way he did and resulting in, and, uh, interacting the way he did, they weren't in that situation.
00:39:24.720So they're all first Monday morning quarterbacking, which is, you know, it's easy to be an internet tough guy in that scenario, especially when you don't have a wife and a child to protect in this scenario.
00:39:34.000But, um, but also I think he was doing, he was doing his best in an impossible, no win situation to get out of this with the least amount of damage and insult as possible.
00:39:54.340And again, the problem is that if that video gets out right of him getting physically, uh, uh, you know, peacocking, as you're saying, getting, getting physically large and imposing, then the visual can be enough.
00:40:09.900Again, that's the very dangerous situation he's in, right?
00:40:13.400Is even if he's in the right, even if all the, all the ridiculous and hateful things that this guy said to him and his family are shown beforehand, just a snippet of the video, just the wrong thing.
00:40:25.080Even if he gets hot, remember it's, it's very difficult.
00:40:28.580Once you embody that physical move towards possible conflict, it takes a lot to control your mouth.
00:40:36.060It takes a lot to control your temper, temper, and if, and again, this is the power dynamic at play.
00:40:42.240If the guy here in the beanie and the target hat, if he loses his temper, he loses nothing.
00:40:48.280He understands his power dynamic here.
00:40:54.460The, the, he will not be hunted down on social media.
00:40:56.420He will not lose his job, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff.
00:40:59.140And he obviously doesn't have a wife and child to protect, but this guy has everything to lose.
00:41:03.340The father here has everything to lose.
00:41:05.600And so if he stands up and he peacocks in the way you're talking about, and he doesn't completely control his temper at all times, if he even engages in even a hint of the same behavior that this guy is engaging in, he could pay a very serious price.
00:41:19.140And that's something he has to keep in mind, but you might be right.
00:41:21.860There might've been a better way to handle that physical altercation.
00:41:24.880It's possible, but I would just be really careful about, you know, in just the, the amount of vitriol this guy was taking, the amount of people who were taking shots at his manhood and whatever, I just wasn't having it.
00:41:36.320And that's what I wanted to make really clear is this guy's in an impossible, no win situation.
00:42:03.800And most importantly, it was too accurate, right?
00:42:05.700Because it didn't say, Hey, these people actually want to directly assault kids.
00:42:10.160But it did convey the fact that the thing, the things that these people were doing would create a situation in which children would be more vulnerable to predation.
00:42:17.740And so it struck just the right balance of feeling uncomfortable, right?
00:42:23.660They made the person who heard it go on defense.
00:42:26.600It had the power of being true and communicating a very discreet and powerful idea in a way that is still rhetorically punchy and powerful.
00:43:22.260Or this guy finally turning and looking at him immediately launched the kind of verbal assailant here into moving closer, invading his physical space.
00:44:12.600He's avoiding putting his family in danger.
00:44:15.100And really, unfortunately, he's avoiding the really horrific cultural ramifications and social ramifications, media ramifications that could follow from this kind of altercation.
00:44:25.520So I understand what you're saying there.
00:44:27.720It does make some level of sense, but I think it probably is wise for him to go ahead and just avoid interacting altogether.
