 Let's take a look here at the riots that we're seeing in Minnesota. So I don't know how much you've read about the story. Another shot, shot, another black man. And as a consequence, there are riots, people are burning their neighborhood down. I mean, because it makes complete sense that you're aggravated by a massive injustice. And so what you do in terms of express your aggravation over this massive injustice is to burn down your own neighborhood and to destroy property in your neighborhood of your friends and neighbors. That's exactly what any rational person would do when they're angry. And don't tell me that it's insulting to them to say they're rational because they're clearly irrational. It's never rational to respond to an injustice going and burning and destroying cars and burning and destroying buildings. That is completely irrational and irrational is the immoral. And it's stupid and it gains nothing. Yeah, it gains attention. It gains attention. What does that attention buy you? It gains attention to your immoral barbaric actions. Stop burning stuff down. Stop rioting. You want to demonstrate, go demonstrate in front of the police. They're the ones who did this. Not your neighbors, not business owners. No, it is not rational. Now if you understand what rational actually means, it is irrational and the goal is irrational. So what happened? It turns out that the police stopped this automobile. I think they got the name of the driver and it turns out that there was a warrant out for his arrest. The driver tried to run away. I guess one of the policemen shot at the car, injured the passenger. Ultimately the car hit a pole or something. I don't know if it hit a pole, but it was stopped. The guy got out of the car and was arguing, I guess, with the police then went back to get in the car and at this point the police aimed a gun at him and shot him. He was trying to escape, arrest. What makes this ludicrous, the whole thing ludicrous and an illustration of stuff that I've talked about last year after the George Floyd thing is that the cop supposedly tried to shoot him with a taser and drew her gun instead of a taser. The other cop is saying, tase him, tase him and she pulls the trigger thinking she's tasing the guy and shoots him dead. Now that's insane. How does a policeman confuse a handgun with a taser? He says, now I know. Under a lot of stress, violent situation, although as far as I know the guy wasn't violent, he was trying to run away. But a lot of stress, very difficult situation, granted. You don't shoot somebody dead. And she didn't mean to shoot him dead. And this goes back to what I've been saying since George Floyd. One of the main problems I see and when you read about all these cases and you read about them for years now, it seems like at least a certain percentage of police are unbelievably badly trained. This is bad training. And part of training is to train them under stress, put them in a stressful situation and then force them to draw and repeat and repeat and repeat. These people, these cops are carrying guns. That gun could be pointed at you one day because it was a mistake. People who carry guns, I take guns as being something really serious, should be trained, believed officers, should be massively trained. I am fine if you want to raise my taxes. I mean, I'd rather be voluntary but if you raise my taxes to train policemen better, I would feel so much more secure. I've said this before, train them in martial arts. Police should know martial art. They should know how to subdue a person easily and quickly and effectively without resorting to mortal force. And they should be able to use a gun effectively. And they should be able to know in a grip, in the hand, just by the weight of the thing, the difference between a gun and a taser. It can be that they feel the same. And they should know where the gun is and where the taser is and draw the one and not the other. These things are kind of self-evident. These things are involved in training, training, training. People with guns should be trained. I mean, think about, and I've used this example in the past, think about the kind of training the military goes through in basic training and then throughout a soldier's career. Why is a policeman different? Because they have unions, I guess. Why aren't the policemen have this incredibly intense period of training? And then constantly do training on the job. Constantly have to go away for a week here, a week there to do more training and more training, just like a military. And when they reach a certain age and they can't use martial arts and they can't be trained, they should retire to a desk job. You shouldn't have policemen who are old, define old, I guess, but who are old and out of shape or out of shape. I don't get this obese policeman. Policemen on the beat should not be obese. How are you going to subdue a criminal? They should be fit and strong and able and in great shape. And always in the movies, the policeman is chasing the bad guy and the bad guy outruns him and the police is all out of breath. I can barely breathe because he's been smoking, eating donuts and drinking coffee and cocoa. Whatever, right? It's absurd. You got to train, train, train. I have no problem with women being police officers. I know women who could beat any one of you guys up who could take you down and if they learned Krav Maga or if they learned Jiu Jitsu, if they learned Akito, they could take any criminal down. It's not an issue of male or female. It's an issue of training, training and ongoing training and ongoing fitness and hey, if you don't pass the fitness test, I don't care how long you've been a policeman. You're not going out on the beat. If you don't take care of yourself, you lose your job. Anyway, that's my view with regard to police. The writing is insane. It just feeds the worst elements. It is kind of the nihilism and I appreciate this. I think a lot of it is fueled by frustration by a sense of nobody's listening and nobody cares and that is reinforced by the intellectuals and the leaders of the black community, primarily black community I think is writing right now. It's reinforced by them. Instead of giving these communities, these individuals the tools to cope, to deal, to improve their lives, to move on, to get out of these neighborhoods, to make more money, to live a proper human life, instead of that, the leaders want them to become more dependent. The leaders want them to become bigger victims. The leaders want to keep them, keep them as victims so they can continue to exploit them as leaders often do. Instead of emboldening them, providing them with the tools to escape this frustrating situation of the wind which is a situation of poverty where they expect because, again, I don't blame many of these people. I blame their leaders because they've been taught, told to expect other people to solve their problems, to expect the goodies to come any day now. They've been told that if they play the victim card they will win. That it's all about victimhood. That that is the standard by which we live. This is altruism. This is the code that permeates our society. Everybody's competing on who can be the bigger victim. And again, that is the fault of the critical race theory monsters at the universities who are teaching this real crap to view everything through the eyes of race. And then the result is this incredible rise of racism on the left which leads or plays off of the rise of racism on the right and now they're just competing. Now they're just competing. And it's tragic because there's no way out of this on these standards, on the standard of altruism, on the standard of race. There's no way out. The victims will just become bigger victims. The poor will just become poorer. The solution is ambition, individual ambition. The solution is work. The solution is proper education. And again, it's hard to blame the victim. They went to public schools after all. In the name of education, they got what? So the people to blame here are the people who argue for public education, for more money to public education instead of arguing for education saving accounts or even vouchers or even what do you call the schools that are still owned by the state but have run independently charter schools. Give people options, particularly the poorest people. Give them options. Give them a way out of the situation that they're in. Instead, what does our intellectual leadership do? They encourage them to go and riot and burn down their own homes, their own neighborhoods, their own cars. That is going to help whom? That is going to benefit whom? Nobody. It's very depressing to see. It's very depressing to see. And you know, it's depressing to see because there are real options here. There are real alternatives. And there are real issues. There are real problems. Problems of lack of police training, police brutality, police incompetence that should be addressed. But instead it becomes about riots. So, remind you I was talking to a friend of mine who runs, actually runs the best school in Colorado. Best school in Colorado. From a congressman, Schaefer, he runs the best school in Colorado. It's a charter school. Best grades. He's got 1200 kids in the school, 1500 on a wait list, but it's a charter school. So, it's free. And he's starting a private school now. It's a Catholic private school, you know. He's Catholic, unfortunately. But he's a really good guy. And he's starting this Catholic school. That's basically going to have almost the same curricula as the charter school, but it's also going to have some religious studies associated with it. But now the parents who go to this Catholic school are going to have to pay a fortune. And the charter school, which teaches a very similar curricula, is free. That's the insanity that you get when you have government funded education. Well, government controlled education. Actually, if the government only funded education, it wouldn't be true. Catholics are good people, really? When did that happen? When did Catholics become good people? There are a few Catholics that are good people, but I wouldn't make it a generalization like that. Many, many Catholics are very bad people. And indeed, most of the, philosophically, ideologically, politically right now, almost all of the national, nationalist, central planning, conservative movement is Catholic. And it's really, really bad. But the whole religion is really, really bad, I mean. Catholic guilt, Catholic, yeah. It's not a good religion. I don't know what is a good religion, but Catholicism is at least not a good one. But as I said, there are good people who are Catholic, just like they're good people with almost every religion. Yes, some Catholics that are in spite of their religion are good. There's still a conversation on my chat about a repus. That's how, you know, that's how Alejandrina sets the terms of the discussion. Not me. They're not debating what I'm saying. They're debating what Alejandrina says. That's what's important. Yeah, it's $500 per movie that I will review. I'm going to review the secretary soon. It's $1,000 if you want me to talk about a topic of your choosing. Just let me know what that topic is, and we will get it up. And we will do it. All right, let's see. No, no, don't stop Alejandrina. You're entertaining my guests. It's good. It's excellent. All right, we still have like 220 bucks to raise to get to the 400. So we're almost halfway there. I think the only way to get there is a few of you have to put in like 50 hundred bucks questions because we've already got a lot of questions, but most of them at the five bucks level. And that's fine. You can continue asking those questions. But please, if there's any of any of you can afford to ask questions at the $20 level, $50 level, $100 level, we'll get to the 400 much faster if you do. All right. Last topic before I get to the super chat questions. Let me just see if there's anything. Okay. Who wrote this? Sorry. No. He says, what's it? Let me see if I can find who's who wrote. I don't know who wrote this. Sorry. Listening while sick as a dog in Motown, not COVID symptom, just bad juju. It still could be COVID, by the way. Send healing vibes, healing vibes sent. And thank you as always for good shows recently. You're the man. Thank you. Really appreciate that. Let's see if there's anything else related to what we've just talked about. Police won't need. Yeah. Police don't need to be constantly trained currently. They should be much like soldiers. Unfortunately, there's also a lack of competent personnel currently, not only because of the George Floyd stuff, but culturally as well. I think that's right. But they need some training. First of all, they need to be reminded of weapons training, because a lot of what happens in an emergency is instinctual. To build those, I mean, instinctual means really fast, right? Automatic, not instinctual, automatized. To build and to maintain that automatization, you have to drill it. You have to drill it. So they need, at least periodically, to go through the drills. They don't have to be soldiers because they're not engaged in combat. But they are engaged in stressful situations that require them to be in good physical shape and sharp mentally and be able to deal with the situation. You don't shoot a gun when you think you're shooting a taser. It's just mind-boggling that that stuff happens. And it's scary because any one of us could be on the other side of that. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.
