1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast AM on 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and welcome back George Nori along with Stephan Schwartz. 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: As we talk about the laws have changed. You've talked 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: throughout Stephen that you believe the individual has the power 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: to change the course of history. How does that happen? Well, again, 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: I need to also stress George, you know I am 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: a data person. I don't have another theoretician. I'm not 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: a speculator. Everything I talk to you about is just 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: based on experimental data. Right. So the issue is can 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: an individual who has no particular power or money or 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: official position, can they change history? And the answer is yes. 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: Now the question is how do they do it? And 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: the answer to that is it has to do with 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: when you get this. This is how consciousness and social 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: transformation interact. When ten sent of any cohort, whether it's 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: a church group, school group, a neighborhood group, or a nation, 17 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: when ten percent shift in their consciousness, then the whole cohort, 18 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: whatever it is, has to accommodate that shift. And I'll 19 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: give you specific examples of that. If you look at, 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: for instance, when you and I were boys, people like 21 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King would say negro. Nobody says that anymore. 22 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Why not? What happened? Did somebody pass a law that 23 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: you couldn't say it? No, what happened was that a 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: group of people not anything over ten percent. How do 25 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: we know it's over ten percent because Rensselear Politech did 26 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of research on this and published their research 27 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: findings and found that when ten percent of any group 28 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: shift in consciousness, everybody shifts with it. Or to give 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: you another one, when did gay become LGBTQ or lgbt 30 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: and then LGBTQ somebody passed a law? No, what happened 31 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: was individuals made a choice, and so that The classic 32 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: example of this is Gandhi. Gandhi got independence for India 33 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: without a war. I mean, we didn't do that, Nobody 34 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: did it. How did he do that? How did he 35 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: get independence from Great Britain when India was their most 36 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: prized colonial possession without a war? And the answer to 37 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: the question was asked of Gandhi and they went up. 38 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: A reporter went up and asked him just before he 39 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: was assassinated nineteen forty eight and said, you know, how 40 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: did you force the British to leave India, and Gandhi's 41 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: answer was, it's not what we did that mattered, although 42 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: that matter matter. It's not what we said that mattered. 43 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: Although that mattered. It was the nature of our character, 44 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: our being, this that caused the British to choose, believe India, 45 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: not force choose. And if you look at what is 46 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: going on right now, you can see in the United States. 47 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: You can see it with the anti vaxer business. I mean, 48 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: we know, for instance, that three hundred and nineteen thousand 49 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: people died who would not otherwise have died had they 50 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: been vaccinated. And yet how were we able How was 51 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: a small group of leaders able to implant in people's 52 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: idea minds the idea that vaccinations were bad. Now, I mean, 53 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: it's quite weird if you think about it, because to 54 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: go to public school in the United States, in any 55 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: state in the Union, you have to get a hold, 56 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: but your child has to get a whole bunch of 57 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: vaccinations otherwise they can't go. But for some reason, the 58 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine and the COVID pandemic was manipulated and became politicized. 59 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: And the thing that really concerns me about the United 60 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: States right now is the weaponization of misinformation because the 61 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: fact that when you get ten percent, you can cause change. 62 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean good change, it just means change. And 63 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: so what's happened in this country is we have more 64 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: than ten percent, actually about a third, who have developed 65 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: an attitude about this pandemic that has caused them to 66 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: make choices which have resulted in over a million people 67 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: have died. And the estimate is from the CDC at 68 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: it three hundred nineteen thousand of them wouldn't have died 69 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: had they been properly vaccinated. That's an example of how 70 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: order very individuals. Because the key is culture is created 71 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: by consensus. You know, in every country, if you were, 72 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: for instance, flying from here to Vancouver and you look down, 73 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: you wouldn't see anywhere that there was a big line 74 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: or something. And yet no Canadian fifty feet from the 75 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: border would think of himself as an American, and no 76 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: American fifty feet from the border would think of himself 77 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: as a Canadian. Why is that? It's because individuals, when 78 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: they make the same choice about what food need, how 79 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: to prepare it, what sports to follow, you know, to 80 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: pick anything like, they create culture. And when you get 81 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: a group of people to passionately believe something and act 82 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: on it, then they can cause change. And the real 83 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: issue to me is are we going to cause change 84 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: to promote well being? Or are we going to turn 85 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: America into an an innocracy? And I don't know the 86 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: answer to that. Do you think social networking is a 87 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: good thing? I think that you know. I'm pausing because 88 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: that is not an easy question. I would say to you. 89 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: We need some We need to develop a way in 90 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: which information can be dispersed and be proven to be accurate. 91 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: The thing that I am most concerned about is the 92 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: weaponization of disinformation about all kinds of disinformation. In the 93 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: old days, Stephan, we trusted Walter Cronkite, We trusted those broadcasters, yes, 94 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: but we didn't have the internet then. Now now, anybody 95 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: sitting in his garage at his computer or whatever and 96 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: start something up which gets picked up and goes viral, 97 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: and thousands or millions of people may believe it, and 98 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: when they believe it, they act on it. And when 99 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: they act on it, then the whole culture has got 100 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: to accommodate to that. And that's what's going on in 101 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: this country right now. And I think that is the 102 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: central issue that we need to face because we are 103 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: doing things. We have practices, cultural practices, everything from racism 104 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: to guns. So you know, pick whatever you like in 105 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: which small minority groups who hold very strong feelings are 106 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: able to shape the whole culture. And that's the power 107 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: of the individual. So when I would leave your listeners 108 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: with this thought, this is how you do it. Every 109 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: day you make hundreds of little choices. Buy the toothpaste 110 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: you buy, you buy, the cat foods, you buy, the 111 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: dog food, the gas you buy, all those little things. 112 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Every one of those is a vote. And if you 113 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: commit yourself that every choice you make, to the best 114 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: of your understanding, will be of the options available to you, 115 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: will be the most compassionate, life affirming and fostering of 116 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: well being. As you understand that, and you tell ten 117 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: people that you're doing this and invite them to do 118 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: it with you, and ask ten of their friends, I 119 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: will tell you and absolutely it's provable that the listenership 120 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: of Coast to Coast of itself has the ability to 121 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: change the course of the November election. It's intriguing. It's 122 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: powerful too, Stefan, isn't It is very powerful? You see 123 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: it happen I mean, we watch it, but we don't 124 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: see it. And the reason is until you understand that 125 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: consciousness is causal and fundamental, and that all consciousness is 126 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: interconnected and interdependent. Until you get that and you realize 127 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: that fostering well being is the way in which you 128 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: create well being, and therefore you make those kinds of choices. 129 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: Until you get that, you don't really understand, I think, 130 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: what's going on. And so you feel that you're lost, 131 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: that you have no power, that you know you're being 132 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: picked on, that nobody understands whatever. All of those negative 133 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: emotions arise because people do not realize that a small 134 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: group of people who aren't committed to something strong and 135 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: who act on it in all of their choices and 136 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: produce extraordinary changes. When you talk about the eight laws 137 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: of change, buzz through them very quickly for us before 138 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: we go to calls okay, yes, because these eight laws. 139 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: I did not invent them. What I did was twenty 140 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: five years worth of research about how social transformations occurred. 141 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: And I looked at hundreds of transformations, and this is 142 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: what came out. I noticed that those which were successful, 143 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: particularly if they fostered well being, this is how they 144 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: did it. First law, the individuals individually and as a 145 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: group collectively must share a common intention. Now everybody's got 146 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: to get on board, and you know, if you've ever 147 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: been a committee, getting everybody on board to the same 148 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: intentions not easy. Second law, the individuals and the group 149 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: may have goals, but they may not have cherished outcomes. 150 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: The abolition has taught me this there reading their diaries. 151 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: They would say things like, slavery is a moral evil, 152 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: and I don't know how it's going to end, but 153 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: I am going to commit my life to seeing that 154 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: it ends in some way. So you don't have a 155 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: cherished outcome that it has to be a certain way, 156 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: but you have a goal that slavery must stand. The 157 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: same thing, by the way, with the Suffragets. Third law, 158 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: the individuals and the group must accept that their goals 159 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: may not be reached in their lifetime and be okay 160 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: with this. Again, both the Suffragettes and the abolitionists taught 161 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: me that fourth law, the individuals and the group must 162 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: accept that they may not get either credit or acknowledgement 163 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: for what they've done, and be authentically okay with this. 164 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: That's a big issue because people like to get credit. 165 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: They like their egos to get rewarded, and so in 166 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: order to do this successfully, you have to put that aside. 167 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: Fifth law, Each person in the group, regardless of gender, religion, race, 168 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: or culture, must enjoy fundamental equality, even as the various 169 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: roles in the hierarchy of the effort are respected. Very important. 170 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: And when movements don't succeed, what you find out is 171 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: it's because they did not work with that law properly. 172 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: Sixth law, the individuals and the group must forswear violence 173 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: in word, act or thought. This was the hard one 174 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: for me because back in the civil rights period the 175 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: late fifties early sixties, when I would go to demonstrations 176 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: and see women being attacked by dogs, I mean, I 177 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: did not have nonviolent responses. But that's what you got 178 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: to do. That's what Gandhi, that's the point he made. 179 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: Sixth law, the individuals in the group, oh, I said. 180 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Seventh law, the individuals and the group, and the group 181 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: itself must make their private selves consistent with their public postures. 182 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I learned this from Benjamin Franklin. When Benjamin Franklin was 183 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: sent over to France to get the money to finance 184 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: the revolution. It was all financed to his personal bank account. 185 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: He got a letter from a woman who said, I 186 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: think your valet is a spy who's informing on you, 187 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: and Franklin wrote back and said to her, inasmuch as 188 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: I never say anything in private that I would not 189 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: that I would not scruple to say in public if 190 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: in all other respects he was a good valet as 191 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: he is, I don't care. I don't care, interesting care 192 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: because everything he said privately was his private self and 193 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: his public self same. I mean, you look at all 194 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: the ministers you and I have known, or the political 195 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: leaders who talk about, you know, very righteous stuff, and 196 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: then it turns out you know what they're doing on 197 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: the back is h seventh law. The individuals in the 198 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: group and the group itself must make their Oh I 199 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: said that one fight law. The individuals in the group 200 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: and the group collectively must always act from the beingness 201 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: of life infirming integrity. That's Gandhi's point. When they asked 202 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: him how did you do it? He said, it wasn't 203 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: what we did, It wasn't what we said. It was 204 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: who we were, the nature of our character, and we 205 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: were committed to non violent life affirming well being. Do 206 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: you think that non violent mentality would work in any case. 207 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: You mean, is there a situation where it wouldn't work? 208 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, let's look at the Ukraine situation for a moment. 209 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: If they just had allowed Russia to move on in 210 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: what would have happened? Oh no, no, no, no that 211 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: that when you know they asked Gandhi that same question 212 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: and he said, he said, well, you know, what would 213 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: you do? He said, well, if I were attacked with 214 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: a lot by a lion, I would defend myself. So yeah, 215 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: so you can't just stand idly by. Oh you can't 216 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: stand idly by. And there are situations where when you 217 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: are violently attacked, you have to respond. But what he's 218 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: talking about is what Martin Luther King did, for instance, 219 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: with civil rights. I mean, you and I both remember that. 220 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: You know Kings, I have a dream speech and all 221 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: those non violent demonstrations that he organized that he wasn't 222 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: being violently attacked in the way, in that kind of way. 223 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: So no, you you you don't just stand by and 224 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: get killed. But what you do do is you make 225 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: choices that support well being. And if enough people do that, 226 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: then things that violent things often don't even happen, And 227 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: maybe they could have done things non violently of course, 228 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: in the beginning with Russia and work something out. Oh yes, well, 229 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: let me tell you that the turning point of this 230 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: whole business occurred back and I think it was ninety three, 231 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: when the Ukrainians gave back to Russia one hundred and 232 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: forty nuclear weapons. Believe me, kept coast nuclear weapons, the 233 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: Russians would not be attacking them.
