coca-cola has sent out notices now to law firms demanding that the company will require diversity
00:01:53.580
among all of the law firms who bill it for work in the united states and reduce payments if they
00:01:59.520
don't comply they later went on to say that uh the coca-cola company's chief of diversity equity
00:02:07.420
equity not equality equity and inclusion officer uh laurie george billingsley who sounds very diverse
00:02:16.900
uh explains how coca-cola is creating a culture of diversity and inclusion uh coca-cola's general
00:02:25.060
council is urging law firms to affect real systematic change by adhering to new requirements
00:02:31.600
that mandate that outside counsel allocate a portion of work to diverse attorneys attorneys
00:02:38.520
specifically black lawyers or risk losing money or even a future coca-cola legal business
00:02:46.300
coke said it will require quarterly reporting about the makeup of legal teams uh that do work for it
00:02:55.000
and self-identify as american indian alaskan native asian black woman uh black or woman uh hispanic latinx
00:03:04.260
i want a latino man woman child it i don't care what your pronouns are stop with the latinx i don't know
00:03:13.400
a single latino person that doesn't think latinx is insulting it is directly from the sopranos you're
00:03:23.220
hanging out in some strip club going yay bring that latinx over here it's enough with latinx

lgbtq native hawaiian pacific islander and persons with disabilities 30 percent of each billed associate
00:03:42.580
and partner time will be from one of these attorneys and at least half have to be from black attorneys
00:03:51.420
holy cow now here's why can you see if you can get tanya on the phone do you have her no uh see if you can
00:04:00.520
get tanya on the phone because no more coca-cola no more coca-cola and that is like gold at my house
00:04:07.680
but that includes a lot of stuff now i'm not leading a campaign against coca-cola i wouldn't mind
00:04:14.880
being responsible for that but i don't lead boycotts i personally it was incredibly subtle
00:04:21.620
there yeah i don't know if people picked up on it no i'm fine with it um but everybody has to make
00:04:26.600
their own personal choice this is the line for me this is the line for me i will not cross this line
00:04:33.560
and here's why think of the impact that coca-cola is going to have a company this large
00:04:42.020
and this is only the first they've already said over at the great reset they're all in
00:04:47.840
and so they're going to require this of all of their partners so when a company like coca-cola
00:04:55.980
says we're not going to do business with you unless you adhere to these things
00:05:01.820
how many companies are just going to fold most of them because they need coca-cola's business
00:05:09.140
so think of this think of the truckers think of the bottling plants think of the people who
00:05:18.060
you know supply them with water everything else everything they do a company the size of coca-cola
00:05:25.860
tanya's on the phone tanya hey i always think of these things and then i get home and i forget
00:05:32.640
because we're talking about so many other crazy things wipe coca-cola off the list i know we haven't
00:05:39.480

anybody join me on this yes uh because it's absolutely not and just think so we're clear
00:09:35.320
i knew stew wouldn't let me currently take a drink of diet coke right now
00:09:38.960
do you have a line uh you know i think if coca-cola sponsored isis directly i would think
00:09:48.660
you would consider yeah drinking less right uh diet coke yeah really but uh just if they even said
00:09:56.940
the red in our logo is the blood of christians killed by isis you'd still think about it well i mean
00:10:04.460
i would you know i would no longer buy caffeine free diet coke right okay in that circumstance
00:10:09.620
that line i've already drawn new coke you're out yeah i i just you know and i i know look i we've
00:10:15.220
talked about this a million times and i know you're really sincere here i i think it's a it's a tough
00:10:19.560
thing to do in this world right like it's really hard because you because as we point out there every
00:10:24.920
single thing that you do has people that disagree with you strongly and has come and have are backed
00:10:30.300
by companies that totally disagree with you i mean like if you if you find some amazing uh company
00:10:35.900
that you want to do business with probably all their suppliers are doing these types of things
00:10:40.720
so they're selling all their product to the product that you're buying but you can do things like if you
00:10:45.620
have a 401k if you have any kind of money that is invested in the stock market most likely you're a
00:10:51.180
shareholder of coca-cola probably true i mean coca-cola is a big company and in and and solid it's
00:10:58.500
probably in a portfolio of yours if you're buying a bunch of companies in a mutual fund
00:11:04.440
get coca-cola off your sell your stock sell your stock i mean that you could still i guess use their
00:11:13.940
product but i i refuse i'm not going to i can't continue to go down this road and there's lots of
00:11:22.080
things like i can't what am i going to do i can't i can't cut out all the entertainment in my life
00:11:27.940
and there is just no real entertainment that doesn't come from hollywood you know it's getting
00:11:35.880
better but we're 10 or 15 years away from a real replacement for these things so i haven't given up
00:11:43.840
you know on some of these things i've given up on certain shows i've given up on certain things
00:11:47.820
but i just can't i can't but this i can do yeah i mean look you could you could do what makes you feel
00:11:53.400
like you're you're you know what makes you feel good basically right i mean that's really what
00:11:57.520
this comes down to there's no way to actually avoid all the products of people and ideas that
00:12:02.320
you disagree with i mean you know you're you're addicted to your ipad like you think apple doesn't
00:12:07.360

00:13:28.780
we're glad that you're here today i i want to talk to you about a song um that has taken on whole
00:13:37.100
new meaning uh to me i've been listening to um hello darkness my old friend and i've always liked
00:13:45.680
that song sound of silence but my son turned me on to the version by disturbed and you should hear
00:13:54.140
this the way he sings it is completely different um and it took on new meaning because of some things
00:14:03.300
that have been going on in my in my life with my family
00:14:07.220
but i've been doing a little bit of research just on
00:14:14.620
what does this song mean we've all sung it a million times what does it really mean
00:14:32.320
what he wrote was what the hippies used to believe in
00:14:38.680
what all of these people said hey this is going to turn into a problem and people like me for years
00:14:44.920
dismissed them and said come on it's never going to be that way
00:14:47.760
and now it is what he was talking about was a brave new world
00:14:52.680
i want you to listen to the lyrics here and i can't play them without any kind of real restrictions
00:36:35.520
return to why do you think they'll return to mark
00:36:43.620
okay i said it earlier they created a bigger but
00:37:33.980
there's something wrong here and they lose their credibility
00:37:36.900
i think central banks are going to go down like the catholic church
00:37:47.300
um about you know what they're going to do about it
00:37:55.640
they're going to try to consult they're going to try to
00:38:08.160
where as we observed in february march of last year
00:38:11.480
stocks alone dropped 40 percent globally in five weeks
00:38:15.920
that was like 40 trillion hits of the global economy
00:38:25.760
there is a point where it is seen as a failure and not a success
00:38:29.960
people still think the central banks are saving the economy
00:38:32.700
no they're creating a twice as big a bubble as we had in 2007
00:39:06.400
we're going to have the greatest boom in history
