 But let's talk a minute about Minnesota and then we'll talk about Hong Kong. And again, we'll circle back to Trump. It's China policy declaration today so obviously I Think most of you have seen the video of these four policemen. I mean four policemen Trying to subdue the this Suspect I guess somebody they placed under arrest. He's handcuffed He's lying on the ground handcuffed handcuffed And this policeman has his his knee on the guy's neck the guy's saying I can't breathe and he just keeps his knee on the neck Ultimately, you know, the guy can't breathe and he dies. He's on the ground. He's handcuffed The four of them for policemen and they have to kill him. I mean, this is a clear case a police abuse and I hope this video of every time this happens because I think it happens more often than we would like to admit police Killing people when they shouldn't be killed police Using excessive force on people when they don't need to use excessive force now. I'm all for If somebody is resisting Police using force in order to subduing but even then you need to train police on how to use force That's not deadly. There's plenty of ways to subdue somebody to stop him resisting Without killing them or without putting their life in danger. I mean really We really need to increase Training in this country are police Now is there is a perception That this is related to racism And that is because the man who died is black and There was a perception that this happens more often to blacks and it happens to whites Now it's true the more blacks are rested than whites, so I don't know more but more proportionate to their population and that Proportionally blacks are in the criminal justice system, but the question of whether this truly is a Consequence of some Implicit racism or if this is just a Issue of police brutality that had nothing to do with a person's race is a question of fact It's an empirical question. It's a question for the data. It's a question for investigators It's a question to figure out what motivated the police to act so stupidly irrationally brutally Disproportionately and they should be prosecuted for it if this is truly negligent But I don't think it is important to figure out is there bias in our police force Now the response unfortunately to this tragic event. I can understand protests I can understand wanting people wanting their voices heard particularly people who believe that this is motivated by racism And this is part of a pattern across the country. I don't think it's irrational completely for them to believe that I think that they might be wrong But it's not completely irrational again. That's a question of Facts and it's a question of empirical evidence. There's suddenly this country has plenty of a history of racism For that not to be completely nuts to believe that at least some of these Cases are motivated by racial issues So I can understand people's frustration and people wanting to demonstrate and people wanting to have their voices heard but to riot to burn things down To destroy private property to interrupt with the ability of people to go about their daily lives is unbelievably Disgusting irresponsible and criminal and People should be prosecuted for doing it They should not be treated with kid gloves I don't advocating shooting them, but who are advocating arresting them and putting them in jail Destruction of private property is destruction of private property By the way destruction of of a police station, which is what they did last night Is the equivalent of destruction of private property? It should not be allowed. It should not be tolerated and You need to bring in as many police for as necessary you stopped us and it's a sign of a breakdown in society When this happens on a regular basis and unfortunately You know, this is the first time it's happened in a few years, but you remember all the riots and Demonstrations and destruction of property that happened a few years ago when again there was a bunch of police killings That seemed to at the time target blacks It also looks like an opportunity For certain activists certain out-of-town You know anarchists or just people who want to see violence in the streets They they use these opportunities. They exploit these opportunities to go break stuff and this is This has to be brought under control This has to be stopped the nice thing to see is that leaders From left and right in at least minutes me in Minnesota are condemning this and They need to bring in the fact that the police abandoned a police station and let them destroy it It's pathetic so while the killing of this man is incredibly tragic and horrible and and and just disgusting this response is completely inappropriate and Must be crushed not again crushed by use of the kind of physical force Or kind of shooting that the president is indicating but just crushed by the proper use of police force of course This is anarchism. I you know, whenever you see violent gangs battling each other. That's anarchism. The mafia is anarchism This is what anarchism is. This is the essence of anarchy and Anarchism is always a response because it's not a It's not a rational standalone ideology. So it's always a response to grievances It's always a response to grievances by the state. It's a complete breakdown of order It's a breakdown of civilization. You get anarchy where there's no civilization. You get anarchy where there's no Yeah, civilization is the best word for it. The Middle Ages I know Bloody and the bloodiest places, you know, some of the bloodiest cultures you've ever lived in okay, so Well, Trump is right that this needs to be put on control President of the United States should never be in a position where he's calling for the shooting of Americans Even even Those who are violating rights and by the way the idea of shooting looters Goes against at least a number of cases that the Supreme Court has ruled against again if if those looters constitute Threats the police as the police feel threatened by them then shooting is legitimate, but The president of the United States should not be threatening this. It's completely inappropriate and it's the kind of Nuttiness that this president exhibits in office and has diminished the value of the presidency alright, let's Let's Maybe not the Middle Ages. Maybe the Dark Ages pre-Middle Ages, but Middle Ages as well all those wars all those little city-states all those, you know Slaughters all that, you know And if you look at that by the way the Middle Ages or whatever you want to call it Iceland Which is David Friedman's favorite example of anarchy. Yeah, that's the Middle Ages and that's Barbarism not civilization Anarchy is statism because anarchy Necessarily leads the statism because nobody wants to live in a state of anarchy Nobody wants to live in a state of anarchy. So the people almost always demand Demand a strong man To clean things up. They demand a government to clean things up anarchy inevitably must Lead to statism and to the worst kind of statism and it does so primarily because it is a legitimization of might is right and By legit anarchy legitimizes might is right and by legitimizing might is right It legitimizes the rule of the mighty and again, I you know Watch my debate on anarchy where to collate why that is but you know by creating competition among entities that provide might you're legitimizing the idea that the more might you have the more Market power you should have the more The more control you should have the more right you are and You know, just think about hostile takeovers just about any the evolution of any kind of market If you use a market in force then over time the guy with a bigger gun is gonna be the dominant player and whether he has Good laws or bad laws where the people like him or hate him doesn't matter He's got a big gun and he's gonna subjugate you and that is the essence of anarchy Well, hey What we need today what I called a 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 Out of the stare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world To the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Brought using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed For support for the show many of you step forward and actually Supported the show for the first time.
