Obviously, and 176 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 3: interestingly enough, Well I won't give you the context because 177 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: it's fairly straightforward. 178 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 5: But. 179 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: He explains how the time honored technique is. The middle 180 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: says to the low, we're talking about like layers of society. 181 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: The middle says to the low, we will overthrow the high. 182 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: You gotta join with us. We'll overthrow the high. 183 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 3: And the middle throws out the high and becomes the high, 184 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: and the low gets screwed see Black America. Since you 185 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 3: know the New Deal practically, since the welfare state came 186 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 3: into being and debased the black family and made them 187 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 3: dependent on the largesse of the government as opposed to 188 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: their own genius and hard work. Anyway, then the next 189 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: time around the old high, remember they're now the middle, 190 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: they make. 191 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: The same promise to the low. 192 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 3: Maybe they throw out the current high, maybe they don't, 193 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: but either way, it's a scam. 194 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: History of the world, yep, pretty much. 195 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show, Jack 196 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Armstrong and. 197 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show. Back to Joe 198 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: and Burton's soul. 199 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: So I have a lot of worries about Trump character 200 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: wise and judgment wise, and a few geopolitically. But at 201 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: the same time time, Kamala Harris's policies are so ruinous, 202 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: so dangerous, and she's such an idiot it's it's difficult 203 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: to know. I mean, like in terms of geopolitics, national security, 204 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: it's impossible to know what the hell she has in mind. 205 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: She hasn't given a single clue. But when it comes 206 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: to free speech, pro the economy, pro business, lower regulation, 207 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: not sacrificing our economy on the altar of green, this, 208 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: that and the other. Oh, I mean, I think Trump 209 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: is well who was it? Who said was it? Bill 210 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: Barr said? Trump is Russian Roulette, Kamala Harris's national suicide. 211 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: I think that's true. 212 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 3: The one thing that does worry me a little bit 213 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 3: about Trump, though, is he is, I think, partly for 214 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: ego reasons, utterly unable to do the hard thing now 215 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: to protect the future. Fiscally speaking, guy say now granted 216 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: on the campaign trail some of the things he proposed, 217 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: I mean, the campaign it's silly season, you claimed, you 218 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 3: promise all sorts of ridiculous crap that couldn't happen in 219 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: a thousand years. Oh yeah, even if you were sincere 220 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 3: about of Congress would never let you do it, even 221 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: if it was your own party. 222 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. 223 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 4: I remember when I read Stephanopolis's book All Too Human 224 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 4: about the Clinton campaign. It's going way back, but nothing 225 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: has changed. Just he was talking in that book about 226 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: that because he ran Clinton's campaign. If you don't know that, 227 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: George Stephanopolis from ABC this week, he was talking about 228 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 4: all the things that you promised that you know you 229 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: aren't even going to try to do, and then the 230 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: things that you promised that you'll try but you don't 231 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: think you can do them, and then the things you 232 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 4: promised that you actually that's why you're running for president. 233 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: But there there's a list of things that you don't 234 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: even intend to, like have a meeting about. 235 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: You're not. 236 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: I mean, there's zero effort whatsoever that you're out there 237 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 4: nickname for those things. 238 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just a category. 239 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: I think they all they just all acknowledged, they all 240 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 4: probably know the thing is that they're talking about that. Oh, 241 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 4: nobody's even going to bring this up the next day. 242 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: We're not even gonna have a meeting on it, right, Yeah, 243 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 4: not interesting. Beautiful, that is interesting. 244 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 3: But in terms of being afraid of what this country 245 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 3: would look like, it's funny. The left is always talking 246 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: about how Trump is this, that and the other new 247 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 3: Hitler blah blah blah, threatening democracy, threatening democracy. You have 248 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: the left trying to tear down the Supreme Court, trying 249 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: to end the filibuster. Tim Walls was in cal Unicorney 250 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: the other day, suck it up to Gavin Newsom saying, Hey, 251 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: we need to end the electoral college. We need to 252 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: go to a popular election of the president. We need 253 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: to do this as soon as possible. That would bring 254 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: civil war to this country. So though I am uncomfortable 255 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 3: with Trump, it's to me he's clearly the right choice anyway. 256 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 3: Having said that, though, the one thing that bothers me 257 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: is that he has all sorts of policies that would 258 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: would be wildly inflationary, partly because of rampant spending. He 259 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: seems to have no hesitation to spend like a lunatic 260 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: in lower taxes, and that's dangerous. And I came across 261 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: this from Milton Friedman, who is always worth quoting. 262 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: Michael. It's clip number fourteen if you would. 263 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: The great Milton Friedman on inflation and all sorts of. 264 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 7: Stuff, Inflation is the most destructive disease known to modern societies. 265 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 7: There is nothing which will destroy a society so fairly 266 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 7: and so fully as. 267 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: Letting inflation run right. 268 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 7: Inflation doesn't arise because you got to consumers who are. 269 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: Spends s rift. They've always been spend script. It doesn't arise. 270 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 7: Because you've got the businessmen who are greedy. 271 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: They've always been greedy. 272 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 7: Inflation arises because we, as citizens have been asking you, 273 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 7: as politicians, to perform an impossible test. 274 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 2: We've been asking you to spend. 275 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 7: Somebody else's money on us, but not to spend our 276 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 7: money on anybody else. Everybody talks against inflation, but what 277 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 7: he means is that he wants the prices of the 278 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 7: things he sells to go up and the prices of 279 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 7: the things he buys to go down. The real tax 280 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 7: on the American people is not what. 281 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: You label taxes. It's total spending. 282 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 7: If Congress spends fifty billion dollars more than it takes in, 283 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 7: if govern and spend fifty billion dolls who do you supoth 284 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 7: pay that fifty billion dollars? The Arab cheeks aren't paying it. 285 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 7: Santa Claus isn't playing it. The tooth fairy isn't paying it. 286 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 7: You and I, as taxpayers are paying it indirectly through 287 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 7: hidden taxation. 288 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of my favorite quotes from him, and 289 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: something the man they should teach in school. The real 290 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: rate of taxation is the rate of spending because it 291 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: has to get paid for someday. So whatever way they 292 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: come up with a way to get money from you, 293 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 4: that that's the rate of taxation. 294 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: But with interest, Yeah, which is the insidious part, and 295 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: that sort of the need for the US to service 296 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: debt at the level we're accumulating, it will drive up 297 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: interest rates for all of us, so it will be 298 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: much more difficult to borrow money to buy houses, cars, 299 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: et cetera, for businesses to borrow money. And inflation is 300 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: a tax. They print money to give us a bucket 301 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 3: a quarter. With the services for a buck it devalues 302 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: the money we have. That's the hidden tax, and then 303 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: we got to hit it back with interest. It's it's 304 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: brutally horrifically unwise. 305 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to hear this. 306 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 4: I'm done right, So this is not the stuff that 307 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 4: gets talked about during elections, certainly not the last month 308 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 4: of any presidential election at this point in our nation's history. 309 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 4: Quick question for you, what if you happen to miss 310 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 4: this unbelievable radio program. 311 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 3: The answer is easy, friends, Just download our podcast, Armstrong 312 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 3: and Getty on demand.

I bring this up 324 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 4: for the rest of the country.

Yeah, how far how 327 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 4: crappy you can let your town get with liberal policies 328 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 4: before you'll decide to do something different. I was just 329 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 4: reading about this ad this activist dude who's got somehow 330 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 4: all sorts of political power because he has a bunch 331 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: of followers in San Francisco, who's so staunchly against quote 332 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 4: unquote gentrification that anything that improves anything he's against, that's 333 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 4: a weird and he gets his neighbors to go along 334 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 4: with it. 335 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: That's a wild position. I'd say. 336 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 4: We were talking earlier about we're in the last three 337 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 4: weeks of the election, and both sides are promising to 338 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 4: give people all kinds of things they can't actually give 339 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 4: them because so many people vote on who's going to 340 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 4: give me the most.

I guess everything you learn really belongs to 345 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 4: the government, and it's up to the government and to 346 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 4: let you. They decide how much they'll let you have, right, 347 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 4: and they'll take the part that's important for all of society. Hey, 348 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 4: one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness, says Tim Walls, Right, 349 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 4: and those are the same people who think the government 350 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 4: gives you your rights. Yeah, the same principle on the 351 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 4: Starbucks thing with the bathroom.

How many is okay? 432 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 5: There were six people outside my door with guns. That's 433 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 5: not counting all the other ones they used to patrol 434 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 5: the property with guns.

The classes 439 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 3: in America are the protected class in the unprotected class. 440 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: Their protected class passes these policies or refuses to enforce 441 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 3: the law, for instance, and they are protected from the 442 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 3: repercussions of what they have done. The rest of us 443 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 3: who live in the real world are the unprotected class. 444 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 445 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: I first heard that spelled out that clearly by Tucker 446 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 4: Carlson years ago on this Fox show. Just Nancy Pelosi 447 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: and various other people who are for these sanctuary scenes, 448 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 4: they don't live in neighborhoods where anything. 449 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: Is changed at all at all. 450 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 4: The music they hear, the food they eat, their schools, 451 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 4: their hospitals, nothing has changed.

They can't be good. 575 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 3: Well, there are books written about this stuff, but it's 576 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: the omnipresence of government in our lives, in the decay 577 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 3: of our other social institutions that gave our lives meaning 578 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 3: and a sense of belongingness. 579 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: Right, And I was thinking, okay, so that's fine if 580 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 4: you're a lefty, and the first question is always you 581 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 4: know what a who do you vote for? What's your politics? 582 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 4: Because you can, you know, be out and proud and whoever. 583 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 4: The girl you're talking to, I'm thinking about myself as 584 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 4: a guy. The girl you're talking to is almost the 585 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 4: same as you, guaranteed. But what if you're not, you 586 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 4: either have to lie or not date anybody or have 587 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 4: any friends. 588 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: I guess that is correct, Yes, absolutely correct. 589 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, you know to that end, we don't have 590 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: much time, but I can squeeze this. 591 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: In recent polling shows. 592 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: Married men are fifty nine to thirty nine Republican fifty 593 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 3: nine to thirty nine. Married women are fifty six to 594 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 3: forty two Republican. Unmarried men are fifty two forty five 595 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 3: Republican unmarried women are sixty eight thirty one Democrat. The 596 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 3: Democratic Party is has become the party of unmarried women, 597 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 3: and to some extent, either low te males or those 598 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: who are just so desperate to have a woman that 599 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: they pretend to be Democrats. I don't know, but that's shocking. 600 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 3: So Taylor Swift's endorsement, for instance, how could that be 601 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 3: a surprise to anyone that's like her entire constituency. Oh 602 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: and it's worth also mentioning The New York Post had 603 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 3: an interesting piece the other day pointing that over the 604 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: last eight years, especially the last eight years, women have 605 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 3: become much much more left wing than they were. So 606 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 3: it's not just that they're left, they're way more left. 607 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: So this is an interview woman on the street. 608 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 4: It's you could accuse us of not picking here of 609 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 4: where you just pick a random weirdo and then act 610 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 4: like it represents everybody. But I think this does represent 611 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 4: a fair number of people. This is in Oakland. This 612 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 4: is a woman who happens to be African American. I 613 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 4: think it's a germane to the discussion. Uh, And what's 614 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: absolutely one way. 615 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 3: I think it's a funny you should say Germaine the 616 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 3: day after Tito passed. 617 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 2: That is funny Jackson five reference. 618 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 5: There. 619 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 4: This black woman feels like Target, who was getting a 620 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 4: robbed blind in Oakland and probably will end up closing 621 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 4: its doors the way Walgreens has and a whole bunch 622 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 4: of other businesses almost certainly was explaining why it was justified. 623 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 9: And here she goes personally, I don't look at a crime. 624 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 9: If you're going into Target, a multi billion dollar company 625 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 9: and stealing clothes, it's not a crime. 626 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 2: Your resource not a crime. Hell no, it's your resourceful. 627 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: You're homeless. 628 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 10: That's where we disagree. 629 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: I think you been you've been displaced. I mean because 630 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 2: you're white and I'm black. 631 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 9: There's a whole nother socioeconomical piece. 632 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: That I have never had access to. 633 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 9: So you can go into any single place and put 634 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 9: your name on a piece of paper applied for that job. 635 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 9: You're not worried about if your name sounds too black. 636 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 9: You're not worried about if when you show up you 637 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 9: got to do something with your lock because inappropriate. 638 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 4: Okay, So she is justifying the stealing lots of clothes, 639 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 4: for instance, from Target, and she goes on. 640 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 2: Target enslaved my ancestors a year ago? Are Target? What 641 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 2: a target? 642 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 9: Do we really want to break down every single system 643 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 9: that has truly impoverished our community, enslaved us, taking money 644 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 9: from our families and then displaced us. As if now 645 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 9: we're the burdens of this entire city that was once 646 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 9: forty percent of black. 647 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 10: UHM. But what a target do? And at what point 648 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 10: do we not uphold any values when we lead to 649 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 10: At what. 650 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: Point do we not uphold Target? 651 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 9: So then give back all of their funds that they 652 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 9: can easily give back. 653 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 10: But if we steal from Target, then we still from CBS. 654 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 10: Then we steal from Walmart, and then the Walmart's still 655 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 10: and then we have but we built it, don't know. 656 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 10: But then all we have our corner stores in Oakland 657 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 10: when we run out all these large businesses, right. 658 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 9: Our corner stores are mom and pop's own, they're black 659 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 9: and brown own. 660 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: We don't steal from our corner stores. 661 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 10: But we could rock into Walmart's in Chicago. 662 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 2: Okay, they're gone. 663 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 10: Why are they gone? People stealing from Walmart? 664 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 9: Why did Walmart come into an urban city already and 665 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 9: displaced thousands of black people in an area where we 666 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 9: needed housing first. Once we have housing, you can sustain 667 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 9: yourself from there on. 668 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 3: In ball Mark, you cannot reason with these people. She's 669 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 3: actually a pretty good spokesperson for critical race theory and 670 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: in some of the allied theories. He's just there's no 671 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 3: winning in argument.
