MOMENT OF CRISIS, I'M TALKING

00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,024
ABOUT NOW, OUR EMOTIONAL

209
00:08:01,026 --> 00:08:02,028

213
00:08:09,016 --> 00:08:11,019
WHENEVER WE ARE ANGRY, THAT IS

214
00:08:11,021 --> 00:08:14,016
NOT THE TIME TO MAKE IMPORTANT

215
00:08:14,018 --> 00:08:14,027
DECISIONS.

216
00:08:14,029 --> 00:08:17,000
WE NEED TO STEP BACK AS MEMBERS

217
00:08:17,002 --> 00:08:17,024
OF CONGRESS AND LEADERS, WE HAVE

218
00:08:17,026 --> 00:08:20,010
TO STEP BACK FOR A MINUTE AND

219
00:08:20,012 --> 00:08:21,024
WAIT UNTIL THE MOMENT WHEN WE

220
00:08:21,026 --> 00:08:23,026
CAN BE RATIONAL AND THINK ABOUT

221
00:08:23,028 --> 00:08:26,001
AND UNDERSTAND THE COSTS AND

222
00:08:26,003 --> 00:08:26,023
CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACTIONS WE

223
00:08:26,025 --> 00:08:30,022

224
00:08:30,024 --> 00:08:32,029
YES, WE NEEDED TO BE UNIFIED IN

225
00:08:33,001 --> 00:08:35,003
A RESPONSE TO THE HORRIFIC

226
00:08:35,005 --> 00:08:37,002
TERRORIST ATTACKS, AND IT WAS

227
00:08:37,004 --> 00:08:40,016
NOT A PARTISAN MOMENT, BUT IN

228
00:08:40,018 --> 00:08:41,025
FACT WE HAD A DUTY AND A

229
00:08:41,027 --> 00:08:42,028
RESPONSIBILITY NOT TO GO ALONG

230
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
WITH THE FLOW BECAUSE THREE DAYS

231
00:08:45,002 --> 00:08:47,009
AFTERWARDS WE WANTED TO BRING

232
00:08:47,011 --> 00:08:48,023
TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE.

233
00:08:48,025 --> 00:08:50,017
GROUPTHINK IS DANGEROUS IN MANY

234
00:08:50,019 --> 00:08:52,004

235
00:08:52,006 --> 00:08:54,009
OF CONGRESS, WE HAVE TO REALLY

236
00:08:54,011 --> 00:08:56,021
STEP BACK FOR A MOMENT AS I SAID

237
00:08:56,023 --> 00:08:57,028
ON THE FLOOR AND MAKE SOME

238
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
SERIOUS DECISIONS NOT IN THE

239
00:08:59,002 --> 00:09:01,025
MOMENT OF GREASE AND CRISIS AND

240
00:09:01,027 --> 00:09:02,022
TRAGEDY.

GROUPTHINK AND?

245
00:09:10,018 --> 00:09:12,006
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO LOOK BACK

246
00:09:12,008 --> 00:09:14,000
ON IN TEN OR 20 YEARS AND TO SAY

247
00:09:14,002 --> 00:09:16,013
WE ALL WERE SHEEP ON THAT ONE?

248
00:09:16,015 --> 00:09:18,005
I DON'T THINK IT'S ABOUT

LOOKING BACK AND SAYING WE ALL

250
00:09:19,010 --> 00:09:21,016
WERE SHEEP, I THINK IT'S ABOUT

251
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:23,002
REALLY LEARNING THE LESSONS OF

252
00:09:23,004 --> 00:09:25,001
THE LAST 20 YEARS, SEVERAL OF

253
00:09:25,003 --> 00:09:27,009
WHICH WE KNOW ALREADY.

254
00:09:27,011 --> 00:09:29,022
ONE IS WHICH THERE IS NO

255
00:09:29,024 --> 00:09:30,012
MILITARY SOLUTION IN

256
00:09:30,014 --> 00:09:31,010
AFGHANISTAN, IF YOU KNOW THE

257
00:09:31,012 --> 00:09:33,009
HISTORY YOU KNOW THERE WILL

258
00:09:33,011 --> 00:09:34,004
NEVER BE MILITARY SOLUTIONS BY

259
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:36,017
THE UNITED STATES.

260
00:09:36,019 --> 00:09:38,013
IF THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT,

261
00:09:38,015 --> 00:09:40,015
WITHDRAWING OUR TROOPS,

262
00:09:40,017 --> 00:09:41,003
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

263
00:09:41,005 --> 00:09:43,010
HAD WE STAYED THERE FOR THE NEXT

264
00:09:43,012 --> 00:09:45,026
FIVE, TEN, 20 YEARS, WE WOULD

265
00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:48,008
PROBABLY BE IN WORSE SHAPE.

266
00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:49,009
THERE IS NO MILITARY SOLUTION

267
00:09:49,011 --> 00:09:51,004
AND THE MILITARY OPTION IS

268
00:09:51,006 --> 00:09:51,027
ALWAYS ON THE TABLE AS IT

269
00:09:51,029 --> 00:09:54,026
RELATES TO THE USE OF FORCE.

270
00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:56,026
SECONDLY, WE CAN'T GO AROUND THE

271
00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:57,026
WORLD AND NATION BUILD.

272
00:09:57,028 --> 00:09:59,021
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY

273
00:09:59,023 --> 00:10:00,024
WE HAVE SPENT NOW?

274
00:10:00,026 --> 00:10:02,006
WE HAVE SPENT TRILLIONS OF

275
00:10:02,008 --> 00:10:03,015
DOLLARS AND WE HAVE SPENT

276
00:10:03,017 --> 00:10:04,020
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IT COULD

277
00:10:04,022 --> 00:10:06,002
HAVE BEEN USED FOR

278
00:10:06,004 --> 00:10:08,012
INFRASTRUCTURE, FOR JOBS, FOR

279
00:10:08,014 --> 00:10:09,028
HEALTH CARE, FOR EDUCATION, FOR

280
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,012
DOMESTIC PRIORITIES IN OUR OWN

281

282
00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:15,002

HAVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE THEY

284
00:10:17,022 --> 00:10:19,016
DESERVE.

285
00:10:19,018 --> 00:10:21,002
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T HAVE

286
00:10:21,004 --> 00:10:22,008
TO USE OUR COUNTERTERRORISM

287
00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:23,022
MEASURES AND BRING TERRORISTS TO

288
00:10:23,024 --> 00:10:24,026

290
00:10:25,021 --> 00:10:26,021
I THINK WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IS

291
00:10:26,023 --> 00:10:29,010
WE HAVE TO USE ALL THE ASPECTS

292
00:10:29,012 --> 00:10:30,021
OF OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

293
00:10:30,023 --> 00:10:33,002
POLICIES AND THE TOOLS THAT WE

294
00:10:33,004 --> 00:10:33,023
HAVE.

295
00:10:33,025 --> 00:10:36,028
WE HAVE DEFENSE, OF COURSE, BUT

296
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,027
WE ALSO HAVE DIPLOMACY,

DEVELOPMENT, HUMANITARIAN

298
00:10:39,015 --> 00:10:40,029
STRATEGIES WE CAN USE AND WE

299
00:10:41,001 --> 00:10:43,013
NEED TO REBALANCE AND REIMAGINE

300
00:10:43,015 --> 00:10:44,017
HOW WE DO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

301
00:10:44,019 --> 00:10:44,028
FOR THE FUTURE.

302

HOMELAND SECURITY WHICH IS

311
00:11:03,022 --> 00:11:08,019
COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

312
00:11:08,021 --> 00:11:09,028
SHOULD WE HAVE JUST REINFORCED

313
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,006

BROUGHT OUR TROOPS HOME AND WE

322
00:11:26,017 --> 00:11:26,028
DIDN'T.

323

00:13:49,011 --> 00:13:49,028
100 MILLION PEOPLE, HEALTH CARE

390
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000

100 MILLION PEOPLE TO TELL

00:13:56,018 --> 00:13:57,013
SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO.

395
00:13:57,015 --> 00:13:59,022

398
00:14:03,012 --> 00:14:05,020
HUGE RELIEF, I DISAGREE WITH

399
00:14:05,022 --> 00:14:08,018
BIDEN WHEN HE SAID HIS PATIENCE

400
00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:10,004

00:14:10,006 --> 00:14:11,002
IS OUT.

402
00:14:11,004 --> 00:14:12,014
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE

403
00:14:12,016 --> 00:14:14,004
ALTERNATE REALITY THAT COULD

404
00:14:14,006 --> 00:14:14,018
HAVE BEEN.

405
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:15,026
[APPLAUSE]

406
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:17,004
HAD PEOPLE GOTTEN VACCINATED AND

407
00:14:17,006 --> 00:14:18,020
THE PRESIDENT'S TEAM OF COURSE

408
00:14:18,022 --> 00:14:20,004
THEY ARE LOOKING AT NUMBERS AND

409
00:14:20,006 --> 00:14:20,029
THEY KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE

410
00:14:21,001 --> 00:14:23,003
NOT GOING TO GET THE VACCINE

411
00:14:23,005 --> 00:14:25,009
WHEN THAT FDA AUTHORIZATION CAME

412
00:14:25,011 --> 00:14:27,002
IN, THIS IS A WAY TO FORCE IT TO

413
00:14:27,004 --> 00:14:27,009
HAPPEN.

414
00:14:27,011 --> 00:14:30,022
Bill: GEORGE?

415
00:14:30,024 --> 00:14:32,021
I AGREE WITH THE BIDEN

416
00:14:32,023 --> 00:14:33,028
OF DECEMBER WHEN HE BECAME

417
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
PRESIDENT, HE WAS ASKED IF HE

418
00:14:36,002 --> 00:14:36,019
WOULD MANDATE VACCINATIONS AND

419
00:14:36,021 --> 00:14:37,008
HE SAID I DON'T HAVE THE POWER

420
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:39,015
TO DO THAT.

421
00:14:39,017 --> 00:14:40,017
IN FACT, CONGRESS DOESN'T HAVE

422
00:14:40,019 --> 00:14:42,022
THE POWER TO DO THAT, NOT HAVING

423
00:14:42,024 --> 00:14:44,012
A GENERAL POLICE POWER, THAT

424
00:14:44,014 --> 00:14:45,021
BELONGS TO THE STATES.

425
00:14:45,023 --> 00:14:46,024
WHEN THIS IS LITIGATED IT'S

426
00:14:46,026 --> 00:14:48,018
GOING TO BE NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL

427
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:49,022
RIGHTS IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT

428
00:14:49,024 --> 00:14:51,026
SEPARATION OF POWERS AND

429
00:14:51,028 --> 00:14:53,005
FEDERALISM THEIR GOLD EYES GLAZE

430
00:14:53,007 --> 00:14:53,024
OVER WHEN YOU BRING THESE THINGS

431
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:57,019
UP BUT IT MATTERS.

432
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:58,008
WHEN DONALD TRUMP SAID I'M GOING

433
00:14:58,010 --> 00:15:02,009
TO TAKE MONEY APPROPRIATED FROM

434
00:15:02,011 --> 00:15:03,028
X AND REPURPOSE IT TO BUILD THE

435
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,027
WALL, PEOPLE WERE OUTRAGED AND

436
00:15:04,029 --> 00:15:06,029
RIGHTLY SO, THEY SHOULD BE

437
00:15:07,001 --> 00:15:07,027
OUTRAGED ALSO THAT AN

ADMINISTRATION HAS DECIDED TO

442
00:15:16,025 --> 00:15:18,009
EXERCISE FAST POWER, HITHERTO

443
00:15:18,011 --> 00:15:20,028
UNEXPECTED TO WORK IN THE

444

STATUTE CREATING OSHA, TO ADMIT

445
00:15:24,028 --> 00:15:27,001
NO LIMITING PRINCIPLE, JUST AS

446
00:15:27,003 --> 00:15:28,008
WHEN THE SUPREME COURT TOOK A

447
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:29,019
LOOK AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE

448
00:15:29,021 --> 00:15:31,025
CONTROL SAYING WE ARE GOING TO

449
00:15:31,027 --> 00:15:32,024
SUSPEND EVICTIONS OF THE

450
00:15:32,026 --> 00:15:33,012
SUPREME COURT SAID WHERE'D YOU

451
00:15:33,014 --> 00:15:38,004
GET THE POWER TO BROADLY SAY

452
00:15:38,006 --> 00:15:41,015
THAT LANDLORDS ARE REQUIRED,

453
00:15:41,017 --> 00:15:44,008
BECAUSE THEY GO ON PAYING TAXES

454
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:45,005
AND INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE

455
00:15:45,007 --> 00:15:47,027
AND MORTGAGE AND ALL THE REST,

456
00:15:47,029 --> 00:15:50,002
REQUIRED TO PAY FREE HOUSING?

457
00:15:50,004 --> 00:15:52,028
THIS IS A CASE OF GOVERNMENT NOT

458
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,009
RESPECTING LIMITS AND IT'S THE

459
00:15:54,011 --> 00:15:54,027
RULE OF LAW.

460
00:15:54,029 --> 00:15:56,022
PEOPLE SAY THIS IS AN ABNORMAL

461
00:15:56,024 --> 00:15:57,013
TIME.

462
00:15:57,015 --> 00:15:58,023
Bill: I HAVE ANOTHER BEEF

463
00:15:58,025 --> 00:15:59,017
AGAINST GOVERNMENT WHICH I

464
00:15:59,019 --> 00:16:02,010
MENTIONED BEFORE, I WAS READING

465
00:16:02,012 --> 00:16:04,008
A QUOTE FROM THE MEXICAN

466
00:16:04,010 --> 00:16:06,017
CORONAVIRUS CZAR, HE SAID WHY DO

467
00:16:06,019 --> 00:16:09,008
WE NEED BOTTLED POISON AND SOFT

468
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:09,027
DRINKS?

469
00:16:09,029 --> 00:16:12,001
HEALTH IN MEXICO WOULD BE VERY

470
00:16:12,003 --> 00:16:14,012
DIFFERENT IF WE STOPPED BEING

471
00:16:14,014 --> 00:16:14,029
DECEIVED BY THESE LIFESTYLES

472
00:16:15,001 --> 00:16:18,005
SOLD ON TELEVISION AND RADIO AD

473
00:16:18,007 --> 00:16:19,008
ADS.

474
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:20,016
I'M FOR GETTING THE COUNTRY BACK

475
00:16:20,018 --> 00:16:22,003
ON ITS FEET AND IF IT TAKES A

476
00:16:22,005 --> 00:16:23,027
LOT OF VACCINES TO DO THAT, I

477
00:16:23,029 --> 00:16:25,015
UNDERSTAND THAT TO A DEGREE.

478
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:27,005
IT'S PREDICATED ON THIS IDEA

479
00:16:27,007 --> 00:16:27,020
THAT WE ARE ALL EQUALLY

480
00:16:27,022 --> 00:16:30,027
VULNERABLE AND WE ARE NOT.

481
00:16:30,029 --> 00:16:33,003
A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH

482
00:16:33,005 --> 00:16:34,009
LIFESTYLE CHOICES, WHICH WE JUST

483
00:16:34,011 --> 00:16:36,013
REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT.

484
00:16:36,015 --> 00:16:38,020
I HATE TO BE THE ONE WHO HAS TO

485
00:16:38,022 --> 00:16:41,001
ALWAYS SAY IT, BUT 78% OF THE

486
00:16:41,003 --> 00:16:43,027
PEOPLE WHO DIED FROM THIS WERE

487
00:16:43,029 --> 00:16:44,004
OBESE.

488
00:16:44,006 --> 00:16:47,003
THE VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE

489
00:16:47,005 --> 00:16:48,017
WORLD WHO HAVE DIED FROM IT ARE

490
00:16:48,019 --> 00:16:49,027
IN COUNTRIES WHERE THAT IS A

491
00:16:49,029 --> 00:16:50,029
PROBLEM.

492
00:16:51,001 --> 00:16:52,009
THEY KEEP SAYING "LET THE

493

UNLESS PEOPLE HAVE SOME SKIN IN

THE GAME EVEN BEFORE COVID, WE

499
00:17:02,025 --> 00:17:04,011
ARE NEVER GOING TO GET A HANDLE

ON HER BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE

501
00:17:06,011 --> 00:17:08,016
ECONOMY ALSO WHICH IS

502
00:17:08,018 --> 00:17:09,014
HEALTH CARE.

503
00:17:09,016 --> 00:17:10,000
PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE SOME

504
00:17:10,002 --> 00:17:12,006
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN

505
00:17:12,008 --> 00:17:13,003

506

GOVERNMENT HALFWAY.

507

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

508
00:17:20,022 --> 00:17:24,016
SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT MANDATE

509
00:17:24,018 --> 00:17:25,015
FFITNESS?

510
00:17:25,017 --> 00:17:27,020
Bill: NOT MANDATES BUT HOW

511
00:17:27,022 --> 00:17:29,003
ABOUT A PROGRAM, HOW ABOUT

512
00:17:29,005 --> 00:17:29,023
MENTIONING IT?

513
00:17:29,025 --> 00:17:31,009
WE CAN'T USE THE BULLY PULPIT,

514
00:17:31,011 --> 00:17:33,004
HAS IT EVER BEEN MENTIONED?

515
00:17:33,006 --> 00:17:35,016
I NEVER HEAR ANYONE TALK ABOUT

516
00:17:35,018 --> 00:17:35,028
IT.

517
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,012
BARACK OBAMA WAS CRITICIZED

518
00:17:37,014 --> 00:17:38,020
FOR BEING FITNESS OBSESSED,

519
00:17:38,022 --> 00:17:40,009
SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE FROM THE

520
00:17:40,011 --> 00:17:41,013
TOP, MICHELLE OBAMA WAS

521
00:17:41,015 --> 00:17:43,022
CRITICIZED FOR HER GARDEN.

522
00:17:43,024 --> 00:17:47,010
Bill: CRITICIZED, SO SHE WE

523
00:17:47,012 --> 00:17:52,028
SHOULD SHRINK FROM THAT?

524
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,005
I'M WITH YOU, IT DOESN'T STOP

525
00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:56,010
ANYONE WANTS TO PROTECT OUR

526
00:17:56,012 --> 00:17:57,027
FAMILIES WHO DON'T FIT INTO

527
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:59,022
THOSE CATEGORIES.

528
00:17:59,024 --> 00:18:00,008
THIS VIRUS DOES NOT KNOW

529
00:18:00,010 --> 00:18:04,007
PEOPLE'S PERSONAL HABITS.

530
00:18:04,009 --> 00:18:06,021
Bill: NO, BUT IT KNOWS

531
00:18:06,023 --> 00:18:10,007
THIS, IT KNOWS THIS.

532
00:18:10,009 --> 00:18:12,014
FOUR FIFTHS IS KIND OF A BIG

533
00:18:12,016 --> 00:18:14,020
NUMBER FOR ONE FACTOR.

534
00:18:14,022 --> 00:18:16,013
THE MOST EFFICIENT THING

535
00:18:16,015 --> 00:18:18,000
GOVERNMENT DOES IS DISSEMINATE

536
00:18:18,002 --> 00:18:18,019
PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT

537
00:18:18,021 --> 00:18:20,022
CHOLESTEROL OR SMOKING -- 50

538
00:18:20,024 --> 00:18:23,013
YEARS AGO, ABOUT HALF OF

AMERICAN ADULTS WOKE UP IN THE

MORNING AND LIT A CIGARETTE, WE

541
00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:30,011
CUT THAT IN HALF.

542
00:18:30,013 --> 00:18:32,009
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF OUR

543
00:18:32,011 --> 00:18:33,026
HEALTH CARE GOALS WHICH IS ABOUT

544
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:37,025
18% GDP IS ABOUT KNOWN RISKY

545
00:18:37,027 --> 00:18:39,026
BEHAVIOR, VIOLENCE, VEHICULAR

546
00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:41,007
ACCIDENTS, CORONARY HEART

547

DISEASE, LUNG DISEASE,

548
00:18:42,022 --> 00:18:42,028
ET CETERA.

549
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,028
Bill: AND THE FOOD, THE BIG

550
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,001
ONE IS FOOD.

551
00:18:47,003 --> 00:18:48,019
THAT DWARFS THE OTHER ONES, IT'S

552
00:18:48,021 --> 00:18:50,019
THE ONE WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO

553
00:18:50,021 --> 00:18:50,026
MENTION.

554
00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:53,013
THAT HAS GOT TO CHANGE.

555
00:18:53,015 --> 00:18:56,008
LISTEN, THIS IS OUR LAST SHOW WE

556
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:57,006
HAVE BEFORE THIS RECALL ELECTION

557
00:18:57,008 --> 00:18:58,023
COMING UP SO I WANT TO ASK ABOUT

558
00:18:58,025 --> 00:19:01,000
THIS QUESTION, BECAUSE IT SEEMS

559
00:19:01,002 --> 00:19:02,002
LIKE THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO

560
00:19:02,004 --> 00:19:04,000
REPUBLICANS WANT GAVIN NEWSOM TO

561
00:19:04,002 --> 00:19:04,019
RESIGN FOR THE CRIME OF BEATING

562
00:19:04,021 --> 00:19:09,009
THEM IN THE ELECTION.

563
00:19:09,011 --> 00:19:09,017
[LAUGHTER]

564
00:19:09,019 --> 00:19:10,006
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE

565
00:19:10,008 --> 00:19:12,019
GENERAL TREND IN AMERICA WHERE

566
00:19:12,021 --> 00:19:13,013
ELECTIONS DON'T COUNT IF IT

567
00:19:13,015 --> 00:19:14,018
DOESN'T COME OUT THE WAY YOU

568
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:18,014
WANTED THEM TO GO.

569
00:19:18,016 --> 00:19:20,023
I ALSO THINK READING AS I HAVE

570
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:23,026
THIS WEEK A LOT OF PEOPLE

571
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:25,012
TALKING ABOUT A FAILED BIDEN

572
00:19:25,014 --> 00:19:27,025
PRESIDENCY, AFTER NINE YEARS --

573
00:19:27,027 --> 00:19:29,016
NINE MONTHS -- NINE YEARS, CAN

574
00:19:29,018 --> 00:19:29,025
YOU IMAGINE?

575
00:19:29,027 --> 00:19:35,019
THAT WOULD BE TRUMP.

576
00:19:35,021 --> 00:19:37,008
CAN YOU GIVE A GUY A CHANCE?

577
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:39,004
IT SEEMS LIKE NO ONE WANTS TO

578
00:19:39,006 --> 00:19:41,017
SOLVE A PROBLEM, THEY JUST WANT

579
00:19:41,019 --> 00:19:42,021
TO BLAME PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T

580
00:19:42,023 --> 00:19:44,022
IMMEDIATELY SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

581
00:19:44,024 --> 00:19:49,021
[APPLAUSE]

582
00:19:49,023 --> 00:19:51,028
AND THIS IS NOT A WAY A

583
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,021
GOVERNMENT CAN FUNCTION OR BE

584
00:19:53,023 --> 00:19:54,001
STABLE.

585
00:19:54,003 --> 00:19:57,001
IT'S AN INSTANT GRATIFICATION

586
00:19:57,003 --> 00:19:57,008
PROBLEM.

587
00:19:57,010 --> 00:19:59,019
BUT THEY ALSO BOTH WENT FROM

588
00:19:59,021 --> 00:20:00,014
PRETTY PEAK HIGH IS.

589
00:20:00,016 --> 00:20:02,016
GAVIN NEWSOM CAME IN, HUGE WIN

590
00:20:02,018 --> 00:20:03,024
IN THE ELECTION, WAS PRETTY

591
00:20:03,026 --> 00:20:06,028
POPULAR AT THE BEGINNING OF

592
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,018
CORONAVIRUS, I VIEW THAT TRICKLE

593
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:09,015
THINGS AS SEPARATE ALTHOUGH IT'S

594
00:20:09,017 --> 00:20:11,020
INTERESTING THE PRESIDENT IS

595
00:20:11,022 --> 00:20:13,017
CAMPAIGNING FOR NEWSOM IN THE

596
00:20:13,019 --> 00:20:15,004
- 11
- TH HOUR, CLEARLY THEY THINK

597
00:20:15,006 --> 00:20:16,004
HE'S POPULAR ENOUGH THAT'S GOING

598
00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:17,011
TO HELP HERE.

599
00:20:17,013 --> 00:20:18,011
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HYPOCRISY AND

600
00:20:18,013 --> 00:20:21,005
THAT IS WHERE SOME OF THIS

601
00:20:21,007 --> 00:20:21,025
STARTED AGAINST NEWSOM.

602
00:20:21,027 --> 00:20:23,026
I'M VOTING NO ON THE RECALL, I

603
00:20:23,028 --> 00:20:24,026
THINK HE'S A FINE GOVERNOR AND I

604
00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:27,015
WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM STAY AND I

605
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,006
ALSO THINK WHEN YOU GOVERN THIS

606
00:20:29,008 --> 00:20:29,012
WAY --

607
00:20:29,014 --> 00:20:31,023
[APPLAUSE]

608
00:20:31,025 --> 00:20:36,019
ITS CONSTANT CHANGE, CALIFORNIA

609
00:20:36,021 --> 00:20:39,026
HAS AN ABILITY TO HAVE A RECALL,

610
00:20:39,028 --> 00:20:41,019
WE ALSO HAVE AN ABILITY TO PUT

611
00:20:41,021 --> 00:20:43,020
SO MANY PROPOSITIONS ON THE

612
00:20:43,022 --> 00:20:44,024
BALLOT FAIRLY EASILY WHICH

613
00:20:44,026 --> 00:20:48,010
COMPLETELY CHANGE LAWS VERY

614
00:20:48,012 --> 00:20:48,022
QUICKLY.

615
00:20:48,024 --> 00:20:50,005
IT'S ONE OF THE WAYS IN

616
00:20:50,007 --> 00:20:51,002
CALIFORNIA, IF EVERY STATE HAD

617
00:20:51,004 --> 00:20:53,018
THIS I BET YOU WOULD SEE A LOT

618
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:54,014
MORE RECALLS.

619
00:20:54,016 --> 00:20:55,026
Bill: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

620
00:20:55,028 --> 00:20:57,026
I'M AGAINST RECALLS COME ON

621
00:20:57,028 --> 00:21:02,018
AGAINST INITIATIVES, I'M AGAINST

622
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:05,010
REFERENDA.

623
00:21:05,012 --> 00:21:06,024
THIS IS APPLIED TO POPULISM

624
00:21:06,026 --> 00:21:08,026
WHICH IS THE BELIEF THAT THE

625
00:21:08,028 --> 00:21:10,004
PUBLIC PASSIONS ARE SELF

626
00:21:10,006 --> 00:21:10,022
GRATIFYING AND THEY SHOULD BE

627
00:21:10,024 --> 00:21:13,023
TRANSLATED IMMEDIATELY AND

628
00:21:13,025 --> 00:21:17,024
DIRECTLY INTO POLICY AND

629
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:19,017
INSTITUTIONS.

630
00:21:19,019 --> 00:21:22,008
THE PRINCIPLE OF REPRESENTATION

631
00:21:22,010 --> 00:21:23,018
WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF OUR

632
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:24,027
REPUBLIC, IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T

633
00:21:24,029 --> 00:21:26,021
DECIDE ISSUES, THEY DECIDE WHO

634
00:21:26,023 --> 00:21:28,014
WILL DECIDE, YOU CAN'T IN THE

635
00:21:28,016 --> 00:21:29,027
CASE OF A RECALL SIMPLY DECLARE

636
00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:30,016
A MULLIGAN BECAUSE YOU DON'T

637
00:21:30,018 --> 00:21:31,021
LIKE THE SHOT YOU TOOK.

638
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:33,024
[APPLAUSE]

639
00:21:33,026 --> 00:21:36,027
Bill: EVEN IF YOU DON'T

640
00:21:36,029 --> 00:21:37,014
LIKE GOVERNOR NEWSOM OR HIS

641
00:21:37,016 --> 00:21:39,014
POLICIES YOU WOULD SAY HE SHOULD

642
00:21:39,016 --> 00:21:40,018
STAY BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN OF

643
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:41,007
PRINCIPLE.

644
00:21:41,009 --> 00:21:42,029
I THINK PEOPLE DESERVE TO

645
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:45,021
SUFFER THE CHOICE THEY MADE, YE

646
00:21:45,023 --> 00:21:46,013
YES.

647
00:21:46,015 --> 00:21:46,021
[LAUGHTER]

648
00:21:46,023 --> 00:21:46,029
[APPLAUSE]

649
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:48,022
THAT'S THE POINT OF AN

650
00:21:48,024 --> 00:21:49,024
ELECTION ON A SCHEDULE, YOU CAN

651
00:21:49,026 --> 00:21:51,024
CAST JUDGMENT ON THAT PERSON IN

652
00:21:51,026 --> 00:21:52,007
THE NEXT ELECTION.

653
00:21:52,009 --> 00:21:55,013
Bill: HOPEFULLY WE CAN

654
00:21:55,015 --> 00:21:56,026
RECALL THE RECALL LAW, THAT

655
00:21:56,028 --> 00:22:03,007
WOULD BE SO CALIFORNIA.

656
00:22:03,009 --> 00:22:03,015
[LAUGHTER]

657
00:22:03,017 --> 00:22:04,028
LET ME ASK ABOUT TEXAS, WHAT'S

658
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,025
GOING ON IN TEXAS, THIS IS WOW.

659
00:22:09,027 --> 00:22:11,001
INTERESTING STUFF, INTERESTING

660
00:22:11,003 --> 00:22:11,019
THAT THE SUPREME COURT ALREADY

661
00:22:11,021 --> 00:22:13,028
BASICALLY HEARD IT.

662
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,019
I HEARD THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,

663
00:22:16,021 --> 00:22:18,008
BIDEN'S DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO

664
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:19,015
SUE TEXAS AND WHAT, TO GET ALL

665
00:22:19,017 --> 00:22:22,026
WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT?

666
00:22:22,028 --> 00:22:25,002
WAIT, WE DID THAT IN THE

667
00:22:25,004 --> 00:22:29,013
SUPREME COURT SAID TEXAS, YOU DO

668
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:30,018
YOU.

669
00:22:30,020 --> 00:22:32,024
I'M WONDERING IF THIS COULD

670
00:22:32,026 --> 00:22:33,001
BACKFIRE.

671
00:22:33,003 --> 00:22:34,002
REPUBLICANS ALWAYS SEEM TO BE

672
00:22:34,004 --> 00:22:36,016
HAPPIER WHEN THEY ARE OUT OF

673
00:22:36,018 --> 00:22:37,019
OFFICE BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE SO

674
00:22:37,021 --> 00:22:41,001
GOOD AT THE BITCHING, AND THEY

675
00:22:41,003 --> 00:22:45,022
LOVE TO OWN THE LIBERALS AND

676
00:22:45,024 --> 00:22:47,006
COMPLAIN, WHEN THEY GET INTO

677
00:22:47,008 --> 00:22:48,019
OFFICE, AND GET TO ENACT SOME

678
00:22:48,021 --> 00:22:51,029
OTHER IDEAS, THEY SCARE THE SHIT

679
00:22:52,001 --> 00:22:53,009
OUT OF PEOPLE.

680
00:22:53,011 --> 00:22:54,015
ELECTIONS ARE WON ON FEAR A LOT

681
00:22:54,017 --> 00:22:55,012
OF THE TIME, THAT'S HOW TRUMP

682
00:22:55,014 --> 00:22:57,017
GOT IN, THE FEAR OF THE

683
00:22:57,019 --> 00:22:58,022
OVERREACHING OF THE LIBERALS AND

684
00:22:58,024 --> 00:23:00,022
SO FORTH.

685
00:23:00,024 --> 00:23:02,016
I'M WONDERING IF THIS COULD

686
00:23:02,018 --> 00:23:03,000
REALLY HELP -- I THINK

687
00:23:03,002 --> 00:23:05,006
GOVERNOR ABBOTT IS HELPING GAVIN

688
00:23:05,008 --> 00:23:06,020
NEWSOM COME I THINK PEOPLE ARE

689
00:23:06,022 --> 00:23:08,000
GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND GO

690
00:23:08,002 --> 00:23:10,009
"OH, MY GOD, WE DON'T WANT A

691
00:23:10,011 --> 00:23:11,012
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR HERE IN THIS

692
00:23:11,014 --> 00:23:13,004
STATE IF THAT'S WHAT A

693
00:23:13,006 --> 00:23:15,016
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MIGHT DO."

694
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:19,002
[APPLAUSE]

695
00:23:19,004 --> 00:23:20,024
DO YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE?

696
00:23:20,026 --> 00:23:22,022
IT'S DEFINITELY POSSIBLE, IN

697
00:23:22,024 --> 00:23:25,010
MY LIFETIME, IN MY CAREER

698
00:23:25,012 --> 00:23:26,021
COVERING POLITICS SO MANY PEOPLE

699
00:23:26,023 --> 00:23:27,028
WOULD TALK ABOUT THIS CONCEPT

700
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,026
THAT IF ROE V. WADE WAS EVER

701
00:23:29,028 --> 00:23:31,023
OVERTURNED, IF WOMEN WOULD TAKE

702
00:23:31,025 --> 00:23:34,022
TO THE STREETS, THAT WOULD END

703
00:23:34,024 --> 00:23:36,015
EVERYTHING, YOU WOULD HAVE A

704
00:23:36,017 --> 00:23:37,022
PERMANENT DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY.

705
00:23:37,024 --> 00:23:38,019
THIS HAS BEEN SLOWLY HAPPENING

706
00:23:38,021 --> 00:23:40,027
FOR A VERY LONG TIME, PEOPLE

707
00:23:40,029 --> 00:23:45,020
HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING, TRYING TO

708
00:23:45,022 --> 00:23:49,004
GET THINGS TO THE COURT -- WHAT

709
00:23:49,006 --> 00:23:53,022
TRUMP DID TO THE JUDICIARY --

710
00:23:53,024 --> 00:23:55,001
Bill: DID, MEANING?

711
00:23:55,003 --> 00:23:57,009
MITCH McCONNELL AND TRUMP,

712
00:23:57,011 --> 00:23:58,015
COMPLETELY CHANGING THE

713
00:23:58,017 --> 00:24:00,019
JUDICIARY, JUSTICES WHO WOULD BE

714
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:03,024
IN FAVOR OF THINGS THAT ARE

715
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:05,015
HAPPENING IN TEXAS, I CAN GO

716
00:24:05,017 --> 00:24:06,015
INTO THE MERITS OF THAT IF

717
00:24:06,017 --> 00:24:10,003
THAT'S THE DEBATE YOU WANT TO

718
00:24:10,005 --> 00:24:10,009
HAVE.

719
00:24:10,011 --> 00:24:11,027
PARTICULARLY IN TEXAS WHERE THEY

720
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:12,027
ARE TRYING TO RESTRICT VOTING

721
00:24:12,029 --> 00:24:14,021
RIGHTS BUT THEY ARE ALSO FORCING

722
00:24:14,023 --> 00:24:16,016
SPORTS TEAMS TO HAVE THE

723
00:24:16,018 --> 00:24:17,011
NATIONAL ANTHEM AT EVERY SINGLE

724
00:24:17,013 --> 00:24:18,018
GAME IN TEXAS.

725
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:19,023
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO

726
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:22,019
SOMETHING WITH YOUR OWN BODY, IT

727
00:24:22,021 --> 00:24:23,010
IS DANGEROUS AND REALLY ALARMING

728
00:24:23,012 --> 00:24:28,022
FOR ANY PERSON.

729
00:24:28,024 --> 00:24:34,008
[APPLAUSE]

730
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:37,009
THE TEXAS LAW IS A SHORT

731
00:24:37,011 --> 00:24:40,008
LIVED SIDESHOW, AS SOON AS IT'S

732
00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:43,001
ENFORCED BY ONE OF THESE PRIVATE

733
00:24:43,003 --> 00:24:44,029
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S, IT WILL BE

734
00:24:45,001 --> 00:24:46,017
STRUCK DOWN SUMMARILY, THE BIG

735
00:24:46,019 --> 00:24:48,025
SHOW WILL BE COMING THIS FALL,

736
00:24:48,027 --> 00:24:50,002
ORAL ARGUMENTS IN A MISSISSIPPI

737
00:24:50,004 --> 00:24:51,024
CASE WITH THE COURT IS BEING

738
00:24:51,026 --> 00:24:53,026
ASKED EXPLICITLY TO OVERTURN

739
00:24:53,028 --> 00:24:55,012
ROE V. WADE.

740
00:24:55,014 --> 00:24:58,014
BY JUNE OF 2022, OFF YEAR

741
00:24:58,016 --> 00:24:59,001
ELECTIONS, THERE WILL BE AN

742
00:24:59,003 --> 00:25:00,025
ANSWER TO THAT.

743
00:25:00,027 --> 00:25:03,010
I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER HAD AN

744
00:25:03,012 --> 00:25:03,028
ELECTION TURN ON AN ABORTION

745
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,002
ISSUE COME I DON'T LIKE WE EVER

746
00:25:06,004 --> 00:25:06,018
WILL.

747
00:25:06,020 --> 00:25:08,004
Bill: REALLY?

748
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:09,021
I FEEL LIKE THE OPPOSITE, I FEEL

749
00:25:09,023 --> 00:25:10,013
LIKE ABORTION IS THAT ISSUE THAT

750
00:25:10,015 --> 00:25:14,022
IS ALWAYS THERE AND A VERY

751
00:25:14,024 --> 00:25:17,010
SIZABLE PART OF THE POPULATION

752
00:25:17,012 --> 00:25:20,020
VOTES PRETTY MUCH JUST ON THAT.

753
00:25:20,022 --> 00:25:22,014
IT CROSSES PARTY LINES, BY THE

754
00:25:22,016 --> 00:25:22,019
WAY.

755
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:25,019
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE

756
00:25:25,021 --> 00:25:26,025
SINGLE-ISSUE VOTERS ON THAT ARE

757
00:25:26,027 --> 00:25:29,001
ON THE PRO-LIFE SIDE.

758
00:25:29,003 --> 00:25:30,026
Bill: RIGHT, BUT THE

759
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,023
DEMOCRATS DEPEND A LOT ON THE

760
00:25:32,025 --> 00:25:36,027
LATINO VOTE, THERE'S A LOT OF --

761
00:25:36,029 --> 00:25:39,001
CHRISTIANS OF ALL STRIPES

762
00:25:39,003 --> 00:25:39,021
SOMETIMES.

763
00:25:39,023 --> 00:25:41,003
AND TEXAS DEMOCRATS ARE

764
00:25:41,005 --> 00:25:43,001
HOPING THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL

765
00:25:43,003 --> 00:25:44,026
HAPPEN, GALVANIZE EVERYONE,

766
00:25:44,028 --> 00:25:45,027

767
00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:48,001
OUT TO VOTE AND I HOPE SO --

768
00:25:48,003 --> 00:25:52,001
PEOPLE HAVE SHORT MEMORIES.

769
00:25:52,003 --> 00:25:55,000
THIS CONSTANT NEEDING TO CHANGE,

770
00:25:55,002 --> 00:25:57,017
THEN YOU END UP WITH THINGS LIKE

771
00:25:57,019 --> 00:25:59,010
THIS.

772
00:25:59,012 --> 00:26:02,023

ALSO, YOU CAN CARRY A GUN

778
00:26:08,018 --> 00:26:11,007

THE NEXT ELECTIONS ARE MOVING

827
00:27:57,011 --> 00:28:00,006
INTO THE SCHOOL ROOM.

828

UNIVERSITIES, BUT ESPECIALLY

829
00:28:02,025 --> 00:28:06,014
SCHOOLS, GRAMMAR SCHOOLS, HIGH

830
00:28:06,016 --> 00:28:09,017

LATEST TEACHER AND PROFESSOR TO

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE SCHOOLS

834
00:28:15,003 --> 00:28:16,012
AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS

835
00:28:16,014 --> 00:28:18,027
FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

836
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:20,013
AT FIRST PEOPLE ARE DOING WHAT

837
00:28:20,015 --> 00:28:21,005
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT?

838
00:28:21,007 --> 00:28:23,002
IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE KIDS AND A

839
00:28:23,004 --> 00:28:24,016
LOT OF TIMES KIDS COME HOME FROM

00:28:24,018 --> 00:28:25,012
SCHOOL, THEY DIDN'T TELL PARENTS

841
00:28:25,014 --> 00:28:27,001
WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD IN

842
00:28:27,003 --> 00:28:28,013
SCHOOL -- PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW.

843
00:28:28,015 --> 00:28:33,021
NOW IT'S MUCH MORE OF AN ISSUE.

844
00:28:33,023 --> 00:28:34,001
WHO VOTES?

845
00:28:34,003 --> 00:28:35,009

BASTION OF FREE INQUIRY INTO A

SOCIAL JUSTICE FACTORY WHICH

853
00:28:52,021 --> 00:28:54,020
ONLY INPUTS ARE RACE, GENDER,

854
00:28:54,022 --> 00:28:55,013
AND VICTIMHOOD, THE ONLY OUTPUTS

855
00:28:55,015 --> 00:29:00,001
ARE GOOD THEM A GRIEVANCE AND

856
00:29:00,003 --> 00:29:00,009

857
00:29:00,011 --> 00:29:01,007

THAN A TEACHER IN MY OWN

CLASSROOM.

865
00:29:13,002 --> 00:29:14,021
WHAT'S GOING ON IN CLASSROOMS

866
00:29:14,023 --> 00:29:16,019
ACROSS OUR COUNTRY IS PITTING

YOU'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS

888
00:29:54,004 --> 00:29:55,006
RECENTLY, I THINK IT'S ON A LOT

889
00:29:55,008 --> 00:30:00,002

ORWELLIAN IS AN OVERUSED

894
00:30:08,022 --> 00:30:10,022
ADJECTIVE BUT HERE IT APPLIES.

895
00:30:10,024 --> 00:30:12,026
IN 1984, ORWELL SAID WATCH THE

904
00:30:34,014 --> 00:30:35,015
INTERESTING THAT PARENTS BECAME

905
00:30:35,017 --> 00:30:37,017
A VERB RIGHT THIS HAPPENED?

906
00:30:37,019 --> 00:30:40,026
PEOPLE NEVER SAID PARENT WAS

907
00:30:40,028 --> 00:30:41,021
A VERB BEFORE?

908
00:30:41,023 --> 00:30:44,016
IT'S VERY RECENT.

909
00:30:44,018 --> 00:30:47,001
NOW WE ARE SKILLFUL AT PARENTING

910
00:30:47,003 --> 00:30:48,018
AND THIS PRODUCES PERFECTIONIST

911
00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:50,006
PARENTING, IF YOU ARE RELEASED

912
00:30:50,008 --> 00:30:50,026
CAREFUL OF IT, NO ONE WAS

TO WHICH YOU ARE ENTITLED.

917
00:31:00,015 --> 00:31:02,010
THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS WHAT'S

918
00:31:02,012 --> 00:31:04,002
HAPPENING ON CAMPUS IS THEY ARE

919
00:31:04,004 --> 00:31:05,022
GIVING UP ON THE ESSENTIAL

920
00:31:05,024 --> 00:31:06,015
INGREDIENT OF DEMOCRACY WHICH IS

921
00:31:06,017 --> 00:31:10,009
THE CULTURE OF PERSUASION, AND

922
00:31:10,011 --> 00:31:14,022
THEY ARE GOING TO MANDATE

923
00:31:14,024 --> 00:31:19,002
EVICTION MORATORIUM, VACCINES,

924
00:31:19,004 --> 00:31:21,001
WE NOW MANDATE HARMONY ON CAMPUS

925
00:31:21,003 --> 00:31:22,025
BECAUSE WE HAVE RAISED CHILDREN

926
00:31:22,027 --> 00:31:24,020
TO BE SO RISK-AVERSE AND TO BE

927
00:31:24,022 --> 00:31:26,025
SO CONVINCED THAT THEY ARE

928
00:31:26,027 --> 00:31:27,029
AWESOME, THEY ALL GOT TO

929
00:31:28,001 --> 00:31:28,025
PARTICIPATION TROPHIES FOR

930
00:31:28,027 --> 00:31:31,000
SHOWING UP AT SOCCER PRACTICE

931
00:31:31,002 --> 00:31:32,017
AND THEY ARRIVE AT THE CAMPUS

932
00:31:32,019 --> 00:31:34,007
AND THEY WANT TO HAVE A SAFE

933
00:31:34,009 --> 00:31:37,026
SPACE TO BE SAFE FROM

934
00:31:37,028 --> 00:31:39,010
CHALLENGING IDEAS THAT MIGHT

935
00:31:39,012 --> 00:31:41,023
MAKE THEM SAD.

936
00:31:41,025 --> 00:31:43,016
DID YOU KNOW THAT

937
00:31:43,018 --> 00:31:45,007
BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY, THE PHRASE

938
00:31:45,009 --> 00:31:47,026
"TRIGGER WARNING" NOW REQUIRES A

939
00:31:47,028 --> 00:31:48,007
TRIGGER WARNING?

940
00:31:48,009 --> 00:31:49,001
WARNING SUGGESTS THERE'S A

941
00:31:49,003 --> 00:31:50,020
DANGER AND TRIGGER, YOU KNOW

942
00:31:50,022 --> 00:31:52,026
WHAT THAT MAKES PEOPLE THINK OF.

943
00:31:52,028 --> 00:31:53,014
Bill: THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES

944
00:31:53,016 --> 00:31:58,005
PUT A TRIGGER WARNING ON THE

945
00:31:58,007 --> 00:31:58,029
CONSTITUTION AND THE DECLARATION

946
00:31:59,001 --> 00:31:59,014
OF INDEPENDENCE.

947
00:31:59,016 --> 00:32:00,016
THEY SAID DOCUMENTS MIGHT BE

948
00:32:00,018 --> 00:32:03,014
HARMFUL OR DIFFICULT TO VIEW.

949
00:32:03,016 --> 00:32:04,029
Bill: THIS IS ALWAYS MY

950
00:32:05,001 --> 00:32:06,021
THING WITH DEMOCRATS.

951
00:32:06,023 --> 00:32:08,024
IF WHAT YOU'RE DOING SOUNDS LIKE

952
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:14,004
A HEADLINE IN THE ONION --

953
00:32:14,006 --> 00:32:16,026
REALLY.

954
00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:18,002
NATIONAL ARCHIVES PUTS TRIGGER

955
00:32:18,004 --> 00:32:18,020
WARNING ON THE DECLARATION OF

956
00:32:18,022 --> 00:32:22,026
INDEPENDENCE, I WOULD SAY

957
00:32:22,028 --> 00:32:23,026
QUALIFIES --

958
00:32:23,028 --> 00:32:25,027
SEATTLE BULLET WHETHER OR NOT TO

959
00:32:25,029 --> 00:32:28,026
DECRIMINALIZE CRIME.

960
00:32:28,028 --> 00:32:31,009
THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO DO

961
00:32:31,011 --> 00:32:33,024
THIS CAME WITHIN AN EYELASH OF

962
00:32:33,026 --> 00:32:36,002
REELECTING DONALD TRUMP WITH

963
00:32:36,004 --> 00:32:37,012
THREE WORDS, DEFUND THE POLICE.

964
00:32:37,014 --> 00:32:41,002
IF YOU THINK THAT'S THE CRAZIEST

965
00:32:41,004 --> 00:32:41,021
THINGS THAT THE PROGRESSIVES CAN

966
00:32:41,023 --> 00:32:43,015
COME UP WITH, YOU DON'T

967
00:32:43,017 --> 00:32:45,012
UNDERSTAND WILL'S LAW WHICH IS

968
00:32:45,014 --> 00:32:47,020
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS

969
00:32:47,022 --> 00:32:49,015
ROCK-BOTTOM.

970
00:32:49,017 --> 00:32:49,023
[APPLAUSE]

971
00:32:49,025 --> 00:32:51,005
THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT

972
00:32:51,007 --> 00:32:52,026
ISSUES, I'VE ONLY BEEN IN

973
00:32:52,028 --> 00:32:54,008
ACADEMIA FOR THREE YEARS, I'M

974
00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:57,003
NOT A CLASSIC ACADEMIC, I CAME

975
00:32:57,005 --> 00:32:57,016
UP AS A JOURNALIST.

976
00:32:57,018 --> 00:32:59,028
I WILL SAY DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT

977
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,017
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AT LEAST

978
00:33:00,019 --> 00:33:03,006
AT THE UNIVERSITY I WORK AT,

979
00:33:03,008 --> 00:33:03,011
USC.

980
00:33:03,013 --> 00:33:06,027
I TEACH POLITICAL REPORTING, WE

981
00:33:06,029 --> 00:33:09,020
HAVE A VERY GENEROUS ALUM WHO

982
00:33:09,022 --> 00:33:11,025
WANTS TO HELP US EXPOSE STUDENTS

983
00:33:11,027 --> 00:33:13,019
TO THE REAL WORLD OF POLITICS.

984
00:33:13,021 --> 00:33:15,013
WE TAKE THEM ON TRIPS TO

985
00:33:15,015 --> 00:33:16,004
WASHINGTON, D.C., WHERE THEY

986
00:33:16,006 --> 00:33:17,023
MEET REPUBLICANS, THEY MEET

987
00:33:17,025 --> 00:33:18,001
DEMOCRATS.

988
00:33:18,003 --> 00:33:19,019
I TOOK A GROUP OF STUDENTS TO

989
00:33:19,021 --> 00:33:21,001
THE IOWA CAUCUSES WHERE THEY

990
00:33:21,003 --> 00:33:21,025
WERE HEARING PERSPECTIVES THEY

991
00:33:21,027 --> 00:33:23,026
HAD NEVER HEARD IN AREAS WHEN

992
00:33:23,028 --> 00:33:25,003
THEY GROW UP IN CALIFORNIA FOR

993
00:33:25,005 --> 00:33:26,015
THE FIRST TIME.

994
00:33:26,017 --> 00:33:28,006
I NEVER ACTUALLY TALKED TO A

995
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:28,025
PRO-LIFE PERSON BEFORE ONE

996
00:33:28,027 --> 00:33:31,012
STUDENT TOLD ME.

997
00:33:31,014 --> 00:33:32,027
AT THE SAME TIME, WE KNOW --

998
00:33:32,029 --> 00:33:34,003
Bill: THAT DOESN'T SOUND

999
00:33:34,005 --> 00:33:38,014
VERY DIVERSE.

1000
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:39,010
ACADEMICS IS PROPELLED BY

1001
00:33:39,012 --> 00:33:42,000
LIBERALISM, I HAD A STUDENT RUN

1002
00:33:42,002 --> 00:33:43,020
A REPORT ON THE USC PROFESSORS

1003
00:33:43,022 --> 00:33:45,007
AND THERE WERE LESS THAN FIVE

1004
00:33:45,009 --> 00:33:47,025
THAT HAD DONATED TO DONALD TRUMP

1005
00:33:47,027 --> 00:33:48,013
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,

1006
00:33:48,015 --> 00:33:50,021
ALL THE DONATIONS FOR ANYBODY

1007
00:33:50,023 --> 00:33:52,019
WHO LISTED USC PROFESSOR AND

1008
00:33:52,021 --> 00:33:54,002
WHAT YOUR TITLE IS WERE GOING TO

1009
00:33:54,004 --> 00:33:56,019
DEMOCRATS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

1010
00:33:56,021 --> 00:33:56,029
CANDIDATES.

1011
00:33:57,001 --> 00:33:59,009
PEOPLE ARE NOT WRONG WHEN THEY

1012
00:33:59,011 --> 00:34:01,019
SENSE A FEELING THERE BUT

1013
00:34:01,021 --> 00:34:02,014
DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT IS JUST AS

1014
00:34:02,016 --> 00:34:04,025
IMPORTANT AS DIVERSITY OF HOW WE

1015
00:34:04,027 --> 00:34:06,010
LOOK IN PROSPECTUS WE COME TO IT

1016
00:34:06,012 --> 00:34:07,025
WITH.

1017
00:34:07,027 --> 00:34:09,008
THAT'S SOMETHING I BELIEVE MOST

1018
00:34:09,010 --> 00:34:10,008
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS ARE TRYING

1019
00:34:10,010 --> 00:34:12,008
FOR EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE

1020
00:34:12,010 --> 00:34:13,010
LIKE THAT PROFESSOR FROM

1021
00:34:13,012 --> 00:34:14,018
PORTLAND STATE WHO HAS BEEN

1022
00:34:14,020 --> 00:34:17,005
CHALLENGING -- HE HAS TRIED TO

1023
00:34:17,007 --> 00:34:18,000
CHALLENGE THAT SCHOOL FOR A LONG

1024
00:34:18,002 --> 00:34:19,000
TIME.

1025
00:34:19,002 --> 00:34:20,022
HE BRINGS IN DIFFERENT SPEAKERS

1026
00:34:20,024 --> 00:34:22,008
AND TRIES TO HAVE THIS

1027
00:34:22,010 --> 00:34:22,028
CONVERSATION AND THAT'S

1028
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,014
IMPORTANT TO EXPOSE STUDENTS TO

1029
00:34:24,016 --> 00:34:26,002
SOMETHING ART EXPERIENCE TO, TO

1030
00:34:26,004 --> 00:34:27,011
READ GEORGE WILL'S COLUMNS, I

1031
00:34:27,013 --> 00:34:28,017
HAVE MY STUDENTS READ BILL

1032
00:34:28,019 --> 00:34:30,002
KRISTOL COLUMNS BECAUSE THEY

1033
00:34:30,004 --> 00:34:30,029
AREN'T EXPOSED TO IT AS MUCH AND

1034
00:34:31,001 --> 00:34:33,008
THEY HAVE TO BE.

1035
00:34:33,010 --> 00:34:33,016
[APPLAUSE]

1036
00:34:33,018 --> 00:34:37,011
Bill: JUST HAVE THEM READ

1037
00:34:37,013 --> 00:34:41,007
GEORGE.

1038
00:34:41,009 --> 00:34:42,024
WHAT ABOUT WHAT THESE TEACHERS

1039
00:34:42,026 --> 00:34:44,008
ARE SAYING IN SPECIFIC, WHEN

1040
00:34:44,010 --> 00:34:45,013
PEOPLE SAY TO ME SOMETIMES YOU

1041
00:34:45,015 --> 00:34:46,025
GO AFTER THE LEFT A LOT THESE

1042
00:34:46,027 --> 00:34:49,018
DAYS, WHY?

1043
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:52,000
AND I GO "BECAUSE YOU'RE

1044
00:34:52,002 --> 00:34:52,020
EMBARRASSING ME!"

1045
00:34:52,022 --> 00:34:54,010
THAT'S WHY I GO AFTER THE LEFT

1046
00:34:54,012 --> 00:34:55,020
IN THE WAY YOU NEVER DID BEFORE

1047
00:34:55,022 --> 00:34:58,008
BECAUSE YOU ARE INVERTING

1048
00:34:58,010 --> 00:35:00,000
THAT -- I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP

1049
00:35:00,002 --> 00:35:00,019
ON BEING LIBERAL.

1050
00:35:00,021 --> 00:35:02,025
THIS IS WHAT THESE TEACHERS ARE

1051
00:35:02,027 --> 00:35:04,016
TALKING ABOUT.

1052
00:35:04,018 --> 00:35:05,018
YOU'RE TAKING CHILDREN AND

1053
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:06,024
MAKING THEM HYPER AWARE OF RACE

1054
00:35:06,026 --> 00:35:09,013
IN THE WAY WOULDN'T OTHERWISE

1055
00:35:09,015 --> 00:35:09,029
BE.

1056
00:35:10,001 --> 00:35:12,005
I SAW LAST NIGHT ON THE FOOTBALL

1057
00:35:12,007 --> 00:35:15,007
GAME, ALICIA KEYS SANG "LIFT

1058
00:35:15,009 --> 00:35:17,018
EVERY VOICE AND SING" WHICH NOW

1059
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:19,008
I HEAR IS CALLED THE BLACK

1060
00:35:19,010 --> 00:35:19,028
NATIONAL ANTHEM.

1061
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,025
MAYBE WE SHOULD GET RID OF OUR

1062
00:35:21,027 --> 00:35:23,001
NATIONAL ANTHEM BUT I THINK WE

1063
00:35:23,003 --> 00:35:24,011
SHOULD HAVE ONE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

1064
00:35:24,013 --> 00:35:27,000
I THINK WHEN YOU GO DOWN A ROAD

1065
00:35:27,002 --> 00:35:28,028
WE ARE HAVING TWO DIFFERENT

1066
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,026
NATIONAL ANTHEMS, COLLEGES

1067
00:35:30,028 --> 00:35:33,004
SOMETIMES -- MANY OF THEM HAVE

1068
00:35:33,006 --> 00:35:33,023
DIFFERENT GRADUATION CEREMONIES

1069
00:35:33,025 --> 00:35:36,010
FOR BLACK-AND-WHITE, SEPARATE

1070
00:35:36,012 --> 00:35:39,003
DORMS -- THIS IS WHAT I MEAN,

1071
00:35:39,005 --> 00:35:40,011
SEGREGATION.

1072
00:35:40,013 --> 00:35:42,021
YOU CONVERTED THE IDEA.

1073
00:35:42,023 --> 00:35:43,021
WE ARE GOING BACK TO THAT UNDER

1074
00:35:43,023 --> 00:35:47,027
A DIFFERENT NAME.

1075
00:35:47,029 --> 00:35:50,027
[APPLAUSE]

1076
00:35:50,029 --> 00:35:52,012
YOU'RE MAKING A FACE, HOW DO YOU

1077
00:35:52,014 --> 00:35:54,007
SAY THAT IS NOT SEGREGATION, I

1078
00:35:54,009 --> 00:35:54,021
DON'T UNDERSTAND?

1079
00:35:54,023 --> 00:35:56,003
ALL OF THOSE THINGS, THAT

1080
00:35:56,005 --> 00:35:57,020
DOES NOT SOUND GOOD TO ME,

1081
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:58,013
THAT'S NOT THE EXPERIENCE I'M

1082
00:35:58,015 --> 00:36:02,006
SEEING IN ACADEMIA.

1083
00:36:02,008 --> 00:36:03,000
YOU'RE HAVING REAL

1084
00:36:03,002 --> 00:36:03,011
CONVERSATIONS --

1085
00:36:03,013 --> 00:36:03,029
Bill: YOU'RE NOT

1086
00:36:04,001 --> 00:36:05,012
EVERYWHERE, THIS IS HAPPENING.

1087
00:36:05,014 --> 00:36:06,018
THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL

1088
00:36:06,020 --> 00:36:09,004
EXPERIENCE I'M TALKING ABOUT

1089
00:36:09,006 --> 00:36:10,022
HERE.

1090
00:36:10,024 --> 00:36:13,002
IT IS A MOMENT PEOPLE ARE

1091
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:13,019
RECOGNIZING OTHERS HAVE

1092
00:36:13,021 --> 00:36:15,008
DIFFERENT LIVED EXPERIENCES AND

1093
00:36:15,010 --> 00:36:16,020
THIS GENERATION, I KNOW WE ARE

1094
00:36:16,022 --> 00:36:18,022
GOING WITH THIS, THEY ARE TOO

1095
00:36:18,024 --> 00:36:19,021
WOKE AND ALL THAT.

1096
00:36:19,023 --> 00:36:22,015
I SPEND MY DAY AROUND 19 TO MY

1097
00:36:22,017 --> 00:36:23,003
25-YEAR-OLDS EVERY SINGLE DAY,

1098
00:36:23,005 --> 00:36:26,006
HUNDREDS OF THEM A WEEK.

1099
00:36:26,008 --> 00:36:26,024
GENERALLY, THEY HAVE A LOT OF

1100
00:36:26,026 --> 00:36:28,014
EMPATHY FOR OTHERS.

1101
00:36:28,016 --> 00:36:31,007
[APPLAUSE]

1102
00:36:31,009 --> 00:36:32,021
EVERYONE GETS A TROPHY, MY KID

1103
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:35,029
LOST AT UNO AND HE WAS PISSED I

1104
00:36:36,001 --> 00:36:37,014
DIDN'T LET HIM WIN, THERE'S A

1105
00:36:37,016 --> 00:36:38,013
PURPOSE TO THAT I DON'T WANT HIM

1106
00:36:38,015 --> 00:36:39,027
TO FEEL LIKE HE'S PERFECTED

1107
00:36:39,029 --> 00:36:40,006
EVERYTHING.

1108
00:36:40,008 --> 00:36:43,007
THERE'S A MOMENT THESE YOUNG

1109
00:36:43,009 --> 00:36:46,021
PEOPLE ARE RECOGNIZING THE WORLD

1110
00:36:46,023 --> 00:36:48,023
ISN'T PERFECT AND THEY CAN WORK

1111
00:36:48,025 --> 00:36:50,023
TOGETHER TO COLLECTIVELY MAKE IT

1112
00:36:50,025 --> 00:36:51,000
BETTER.

1113
00:36:51,002 --> 00:36:52,009
Bill: YOU THINK THEY

1114
00:36:52,011 --> 00:36:54,001
DISCOVERED THAT?

1115
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:54,019
YOU THINK THEY ARE THE FIRST

1116
00:36:54,021 --> 00:36:57,008
GENERATION THAT THOUGHT THAT,

1117
00:36:57,010 --> 00:36:59,027
THE WORLD ISN'T PERFECT?

1118
00:36:59,029 --> 00:37:00,013
EVERY GENERATION THINKS THE

1119
00:37:00,015 --> 00:37:08,003
WORLD'S TOTAL TO TO SHIT.

1120
00:37:08,005 --> 00:37:11,011
HENCE MY INSULT TO

1121
00:37:11,013 --> 00:37:13,023
BABY BOOMERS, I BELIEVE THE WAY

1122
00:37:13,025 --> 00:37:15,019
THIS GENERATION IS LOOKING AT

1123
00:37:15,021 --> 00:37:16,026
THINGS WILL BENEFIT THE

1124
00:37:16,028 --> 00:37:17,017
COLLECTIVE GOOD WHERE SO MUCH OF

1125
00:37:17,019 --> 00:37:20,006
IT IS SELFISH.

1126
00:37:20,008 --> 00:37:21,029
Bill: YOU THINK THIS

1127
00:37:22,001 --> 00:37:23,013
GENERATION IS LESS SELFISH?

1128
00:37:23,015 --> 00:37:26,012
WE'LL AND SEE HOW THAT COMES OUT

1129
00:37:26,014 --> 00:37:30,025
ON TIKTOK.

1130
00:37:30,027 --> 00:37:34,006
WHERE ARE RACE RELATIONS

1131
00:37:34,008 --> 00:37:35,003
WORSE, PROBABLY ON CAMPUS WHERE

1132
00:37:35,005 --> 00:37:37,003
THEY OBSESS ABOUT RACE

1133
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:38,024
EXCESSIVELY.

1134
00:37:38,026 --> 00:37:44,011
AN ENORMOUS NU NUMBER OF PEOPLEA

1135
00:37:44,013 --> 00:37:44,029
MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR INCLUSION

1136
00:37:45,001 --> 00:37:45,028
INDUSTRY NOW EXISTS IN THIS

1137
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:46,021
COUNTRY TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT

1138
00:37:46,023 --> 00:37:47,022
THINGS ARE BAD AND GETTING

1139
00:37:47,024 --> 00:37:50,022
WORSE, ACTUALLY, THEY ARE

1140
00:37:50,024 --> 00:37:51,007
GETTING BETTER.

1141
00:37:51,009 --> 00:37:52,009
Bill: YES!

1142
00:37:52,011 --> 00:37:54,025
THE BEST EXAMPLE, THE ONLY

1143
00:37:54,027 --> 00:37:56,019
ESTABLISHED RELIGION IN THIS

1144
00:37:56,021 --> 00:37:58,006
COUNTRY IS SEC FOOTBALL DOWN

1145
00:37:58,008 --> 00:37:58,026
SOUTH, TURN ON THE FOOTBALL GAME

1146
00:37:58,028 --> 00:38:03,029
AND YOU WILL SEE GEORGIA,

1147
00:38:04,001 --> 00:38:05,012
ALABAMA, AND THE HEAD REFEREE IS

1148
00:38:05,014 --> 00:38:06,022
AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN, HE'S

1149
00:38:06,024 --> 00:38:08,028
BOSSING EVERYONE AROUND.

1150
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,014
THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY IN

1151
00:38:10,016 --> 00:38:15,006
THE SEC UNTIL 60 YEARS AGO.

1152
00:38:15,008 --> 00:38:16,013
NOW THE DAILY INTERACTIONS OF

1153
00:38:16,015 --> 00:38:17,023
NORMAL AMERICANS WERE NOT

1154
00:38:17,025 --> 00:38:18,022
OBSESSING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT

1155
00:38:18,024 --> 00:38:19,023
THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED ON

1156
00:38:19,025 --> 00:38:23,001
RACE IN 1619, NOT OBSESSING

1157
00:38:23,003 --> 00:38:23,028
ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY,

1158
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,018
THEY'RE GETTING ON WITH THEIR

1159
00:38:26,020 --> 00:38:28,010
LIVES AND RACE RELATIONS IN THE

1160
00:38:28,012 --> 00:38:32,027
VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS

1161
00:38:32,029 --> 00:38:33,027
INTERACTIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN

1162
00:38:33,029 --> 00:38:34,004
BETTER.

1163
00:38:34,006 --> 00:38:36,002
Bill: TO THE POINT ABOUT

1164
00:38:36,004 --> 00:38:36,028
INVERTING WITH THE GOALS WERE,

1165
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,004
WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS TOO YOUNG

1166
00:38:38,006 --> 00:38:40,020
TO UNDERSTAND BUT MY FATHER WAS

1167
00:38:40,022 --> 00:38:42,003
TELLING ME JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS A

1168
00:38:42,005 --> 00:38:43,012
GREAT PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE SENT

1169
00:38:43,014 --> 00:38:47,006
THE TROOPS SO THAT BLACK KIDS

1170
00:38:47,008 --> 00:38:48,011
COULD GO TO SCHOOL, BECAUSE THE

1171
00:38:48,013 --> 00:38:50,006
GOAL WAS TO HAVE AS GOOD

1172
00:38:50,008 --> 00:38:50,025
EDUCATION FOR EVERYBODY.

1173
00:38:50,027 --> 00:38:53,022
NO I THINK I READ IN YOUR COLUMN

1174
00:38:53,024 --> 00:38:54,029
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

1175
00:38:55,001 --> 00:38:57,019
WHICH HAS DIFFERENT GRADUATION

1176
00:38:57,021 --> 00:39:01,019
STANDARDS FOR "PEOPLE OF COLOR,"

1177
00:39:01,021 --> 00:39:02,000
LOWER STANDARDS.

1178
00:39:02,002 --> 00:39:04,019
WHICH TO ME IS SUCH AN INSULT.

1179
00:39:04,021 --> 00:39:06,001
OREGON HAS SAID PROFICIENCY

1180
00:39:06,003 --> 00:39:08,018
REQUIREMENTS IN MATH AND READING

1181
00:39:08,020 --> 00:39:10,005
ARE NOW GOING TO BE SUSPENDED

1182
00:39:10,007 --> 00:39:13,019
FOR EQUITY REASONS BECAUSE THERE

1183
00:39:13,021 --> 00:39:14,026
ARE DISPROPORTIONATE OUTCOMES.

1184
00:39:14,028 --> 00:39:16,001
THIS IS THE SOFT BIGOTRY OF LOW

1185
00:39:16,003 --> 00:39:18,006
EXPECTATIONS APPLIED.

1186
00:39:18,008 --> 00:39:19,020
Bill: THAT'S RIGHT.

1187
00:39:19,022 --> 00:39:24,006
[APPLAUSE]

1188
00:39:24,008 --> 00:39:24,018
NO?

1189
00:39:24,020 --> 00:39:25,020
EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A FACE I

1190
00:39:25,022 --> 00:39:29,023
HAVE TO ASK WHY.

1191
00:39:29,025 --> 00:39:31,013
I THINK THIS IS A

1192
00:39:31,015 --> 00:39:33,001
CONVERSATION -- TAKING

1193
00:39:33,003 --> 00:39:35,001
STANDARDIZED TESTING AND

1194
00:39:35,003 --> 00:39:36,011
DISCUSSING HOW THAT HAS APPLIED

1195
00:39:36,013 --> 00:39:40,007
THE LAWSUIT AGAINST HARVARD AND

1196
00:39:40,009 --> 00:39:41,023
HOW -- THERE IS A MOMENT TO LOOK

1197
00:39:41,025 --> 00:39:44,014
AT WHAT IT MEANS TO GET A

1198
00:39:44,016 --> 00:39:46,002
COLLEGE EDUCATION NOW, THERE'S A

1199
00:39:46,004 --> 00:39:47,024
MOMENT TO LOOK AT HOW

1200
00:39:47,026 --> 00:39:50,005
STANDARDIZED TESTS APPLY TO

1201
00:39:50,007 --> 00:39:50,026
GROUPS OF PEOPLE.

1202
00:39:50,028 --> 00:39:52,023
THIS IS NOT MY AREA OF

1203
00:39:52,025 --> 00:39:53,022
EXPERTISE, AND TEACHING

1204
00:39:53,024 --> 00:39:55,010
JOURNALISM, I'M NOT LOOKING AT

1205
00:39:55,012 --> 00:39:57,013
ACADEMIA AS A WHOLE AND

1206
00:39:57,015 --> 00:39:59,000
ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE IT BUT

1207
00:39:59,002 --> 00:39:59,026
UNDERSTANDING WHY THESE

1208
00:39:59,028 --> 00:40:00,014
CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING I

1209
00:40:00,016 --> 00:40:03,012
THINK IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.

1210
00:40:03,014 --> 00:40:07,002
Bill: OKAY, LAST QUESTION.

1211
00:40:07,004 --> 00:40:08,015
[APPLAUSE]

1212
00:40:08,017 --> 00:40:09,002
ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11, I THINK

1213
00:40:09,004 --> 00:40:09,026
WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT A LOT

1214
00:40:09,028 --> 00:40:14,002
MORE ABOUT THE SAUDIS, FINALLY,

1215
00:40:14,004 --> 00:40:15,027
BIDEN SEEMS TO WANT TO GET INTO

1216
00:40:15,029 --> 00:40:17,005
WHAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO

1217
00:40:17,007 --> 00:40:17,027
SEE FOR YEARS.

1218
00:40:17,029 --> 00:40:19,015
I REMEMBER SEEING ALL OF THOSE

1219
00:40:19,017 --> 00:40:23,013
REPORTS, INTERNAL REPORTS,

1220
00:40:23,015 --> 00:40:24,002
SECURITY REPORTS WERE EVERYTHING

1221
00:40:24,004 --> 00:40:26,009
WAS BLACKED OUT.

1222
00:40:26,011 --> 00:40:29,007
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SAUDIS, WE

1223
00:40:29,009 --> 00:40:30,020
CAN KNOW.

1224
00:40:30,022 --> 00:40:31,029
I'M JUST WONDERING, SINCE THIS

1225
00:40:32,001 --> 00:40:34,013
IS A FEW YEARS PAST WE KNOW WHEN

1226
00:40:34,015 --> 00:40:37,007
THEY KILLED JAMAL KHASHOGGI WITH

1227
00:40:37,009 --> 00:40:40,019
A BONE SAW, WILL THAT COLOR OUR

1228
00:40:40,021 --> 00:40:41,011
THINKING OF WHAT THE SAUDIS ARE

1229
00:40:41,013 --> 00:40:42,020
CAPABLE OF AND WHAT THEY MIGHT

1230
00:40:42,022 --> 00:40:44,026
HAVE BEEN DOING PRE9/11?

1231
00:40:44,028 --> 00:40:45,020
THAT'S WITH LUDACRIS ABOUT

1232
00:40:45,022 --> 00:40:47,009
THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS

1233
00:40:47,011 --> 00:40:49,015
BEEN HIDING AND TOLD BIDEN UNDER

1234
00:40:49,017 --> 00:40:51,015
EXTREME PRESSURE WAS TOLD BY

1235
00:40:51,017 --> 00:40:52,004
SURVIVORS OF THE FAMILIES WOULD

1236
00:40:52,006 --> 00:40:54,023
NOT BE WELCOME AT 111

1237
00:40:54,025 --> 00:40:56,024
COMMEMORATIVE EVENTS, IF HE

1238
00:40:56,026 --> 00:40:58,028
DIDN'T RELEASE HITHERTO KEPT

1239
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,006
SECRET REPORTS OF THE 9/11

1240
00:41:01,008 --> 00:41:04,021
COMMISSION -- THAT MIGHT CAUSE

1241
00:41:04,023 --> 00:41:07,005
THE SAUDIS TO HAVE A BAD

1242
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:09,021
REPUTATION.

1243
00:41:09,023 --> 00:41:10,021
[LAUGHTER]

1244
00:41:10,023 --> 00:41:12,009
HOW DO YOU LOSE A REPUTATION YOU

1245
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:14,022
FORFEITED WITH 15 OF YOUR MEN

1246
00:41:14,024 --> 00:41:16,010
WITH OBVIOUS AID AND COMFORT

1247
00:41:16,012 --> 00:41:18,022
FROM SAUDI OFFICIALS AND

1248
00:41:18,024 --> 00:41:19,013
CHARITIES, SO-CALLED, RUN BY THE

1249
00:41:19,015 --> 00:41:23,001
GOVERNMENT -- FLEW THE PLANES.

1250
00:41:23,003 --> 00:41:25,014
THE IDEA WE ARE PROTECTING THE

1251
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:26,018
SAUDIS FROM FORFEITING A

1252
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:28,011
REPUTATION HE FORFEITED LONG AGO

1253
00:41:28,013 --> 00:41:29,016
IS ABSURD.

1254
00:41:29,018 --> 00:41:32,007
SECRECY MAKES US IGNORANT,

1255
00:41:32,009 --> 00:41:33,005
SECRECY IS GOVERNMENT

1256
00:41:33,007 --> 00:41:33,014
REGULATION.

1257
00:41:33,016 --> 00:41:34,023
MOST GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS --

1258
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:38,026
[APPLAUSE]

1259
00:41:38,028 --> 00:41:42,020
OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED SOME SECRETS

1260
00:41:42,022 --> 00:41:43,023
TO PROTECT GOVERNMENT

1261
00:41:43,025 --> 00:41:46,001
DELIBERATIONS AND SOURCES AND

1262
00:41:46,003 --> 00:41:48,006
METHODS OF INTELLIGENCE, BUT

1263
00:41:48,008 --> 00:41:49,001
MOST REGULATION TELLS US WHAT WE

1264
00:41:49,003 --> 00:41:51,018
CANNOT DO.

1265
00:41:51,020 --> 00:41:55,002
SECRECY TELLS US WHAT WE CANNOT

1266
00:41:55,004 --> 00:41:56,002
KNOW AND GOVERNMENT ALWAYS HAS

1267
00:41:56,004 --> 00:41:58,001
AN INTEREST TO MAXIMIZE SECRECY

1268
00:41:58,003 --> 00:41:59,017
AS ITS PRIVATE PROPERTY WHICH IS

1269
00:41:59,019 --> 00:42:02,005
WHY I SALUTE THE FAMILIES, MORE

1270
00:42:02,007 --> 00:42:04,000
THAN 2,000 PEOPLE PUT PRESSURE

1271
00:42:04,002 --> 00:42:05,025
ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND

1272
00:42:05,027 --> 00:42:06,013
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAID

1273
00:42:06,015 --> 00:42:10,010
"WELL, OKAY, WE'LL WE THINK

1274
00:42:10,012 --> 00:42:11,005
THIS.

1275
00:42:11,007 --> 00:42:12,010
WATCH THEM COME AFTER 9/11 HAS

1276
00:42:12,012 --> 00:42:13,029
PASSED AND THE FLEETING

1277
00:42:14,001 --> 00:42:15,004
ATTENTION SPAN OF THE AMERICAN

1278
00:42:15,006 --> 00:42:17,002
PEOPLE MOVES ON, WE'LL SEE IF

1279
00:42:17,004 --> 00:42:17,019
THEY ACTUALLY RELEASE THIS.

1280
00:42:17,021 --> 00:42:20,023
Bill: WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT

1281
00:42:20,025 --> 00:42:21,019
SECRECY, I MUST SAY THE THING I

1282
00:42:21,021 --> 00:42:24,012
ALWAYS THINK OF AS A SECRET IS

1283
00:42:24,014 --> 00:42:25,014
MONEY.

1284
00:42:25,016 --> 00:42:27,008
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

1285
00:42:27,010 --> 00:42:29,010
$3.5 TRILLION WHICH USED TO BE A

1286
00:42:29,012 --> 00:42:30,024
LOT OF MONEY.

1287
00:42:30,026 --> 00:42:36,003
I KIND OF STILL THINK IT IS, AND

1288
00:42:36,005 --> 00:42:37,028
WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT THIS?

1289
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,015
ALL I KNOW AND EVEN WHEN I READ

1290
00:42:40,017 --> 00:42:42,016
DETAILED ARTICLES, WHAT THE HECK

1291
00:42:42,018 --> 00:42:45,003
ARE THEY DOING WITH THIS MONEY,

1292
00:42:45,005 --> 00:42:46,018
WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY?

1293
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:50,017
WHERE IS IT GOING, DO WE HAVE

1294
00:42:50,019 --> 00:42:51,020
ANY IDEA?

1295
00:42:51,022 --> 00:42:53,025
PEOPLE JUST VOTE BASED ON THAT'S

1296
00:42:53,027 --> 00:42:58,012
MY TEAM AND THIS COUNTRY, THE

1297
00:42:58,014 --> 00:43:01,024
WRONG DIRECTION UNDER TRUMP,

1298
00:43:01,026 --> 00:43:02,019
LET'S VOTE $3.5 TRILLION TO GO

1299
00:43:02,021 --> 00:43:03,018
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I

1300
00:43:03,020 --> 00:43:04,014
DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE

1301
00:43:04,016 --> 00:43:07,005
SPENT WISELY.

1302
00:43:07,007 --> 00:43:09,025
