And we are going to
make our country great again.

00:00:18.583 --> 00:00:20.803
I want surveillance
of certain mosques.

10
00:00:20.977 --> 00:00:23.327
I will build a great,
great wall.

11
00:00:23.501 --> 00:00:26.287
Block funding
for sanctuary cities.

12
00:00:26.461 --> 00:00:29.203
I would repeal and
replace the big lie, Obamacare.

Suspend the
Syrian refugee program.

Our country is
in serious trouble.

15
00:00:34.034 --> 00:00:36.079
Political correctness
is killing this country.

00:00:36.253 --> 00:00:39.517
They're rapists and some,
I assume, are good people.

17
00:00:39.691 --> 00:00:41.519
It's amazing the way I can
talk people into things, right?

18
00:00:41.693 --> 00:00:43.347
I could stand in the
middle of Fifth Avenue

19
00:00:43.521 --> 00:00:45.349
and shoot somebody and
I wouldn't lose any voters.

20
00:00:45.523 --> 00:00:47.873
- Nothing he says or
does can turn off voters.

21
00:00:48.048 --> 00:00:49.919
His campaign
slogan might as well be,

22

if you're in the
Hillary Clinton camp.

32

the worst President

to look into
incidents of discrimination

73

and harassment
that are occurring

74
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:52.084
because in the
post-election climate,

75
00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:54.348
there's been an
increase in incidents

76
00:02:54.522 --> 00:02:57.351
involving harassment,
intimidation, and violence

77
00:02:57.525 --> 00:03:01.050

crimes across the country

hate crimes are rising.

- [Reporter] From
swastikas at a baseball field

to Pennsylvania high school
students shouting hate messages

86
00:03:19.286 --> 00:03:22.506
in the hallway and a throwback
to the days of segregation.

87
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.554
- Donald Trump's supporters
have also been the victims.

88
00:03:26.728 --> 00:03:28.686
- [Woman] You voted Trump,
you voted Trump?

Yeah!

00:03:30.775 --> 00:03:33.387
- [Man] [bleep] Donald Trump,
[bleep] white people, boy.

91
00:03:33.561 --> 00:03:35.127
- [Narrator] The
FBI defines a hate crime

92
00:03:35.302 --> 00:03:37.565
as a criminal offense
against a person or property

93
00:03:37.739 --> 00:03:40.437
motivated by an
offender's bias against a race,

94
00:03:40.611 --> 00:03:43.005
religion,
disability, sexual orientation,

95
00:03:43.179 --> 00:03:45.312
ethnicity,
gender, or gender identity.

96
00:03:45.486 --> 00:03:47.357
Hate itself
is not a crime,

97
00:03:47.531 --> 00:03:49.707
and it's protected
by freedom of speech.

98
00:03:49.881 --> 00:03:52.275
The FBI is in charge of
keeping records of hate crimes,

99
00:03:52.449 --> 00:03:55.496
and it needs at least a year
to produce an accurate report.

100
00:03:55.670 --> 00:03:58.063
The problem is that
there are several organizations

101
00:03:58.238 --> 00:04:00.501
and police
departments across the country

102
00:04:00.675 --> 00:04:03.243
that are not doing a good
job reporting these incidents.

103
00:04:13.078 --> 00:04:15.820
- Trump people are
feeling that they were aggrieved

104
00:04:15.994 --> 00:04:18.954
by not just
Obama's policies

105
00:04:19.128 --> 00:04:21.348
but the way that
liberals treated them

106
00:04:21.522 --> 00:04:22.914
and the way they
look down on them.

107
00:04:23.088 --> 00:04:24.699
And now
they've got their time

108
00:04:24.873 --> 00:04:26.657
and they're
gonna do their thing.

109
00:04:26.831 --> 00:04:28.616
And the liberals are going,
"You guys didn't win this right

110
00:04:28.790 --> 00:04:30.922
and we're
gonna pay you back."

111
00:04:31.096 --> 00:04:32.620
Everybody's so
mad at each other,

112
00:04:32.794 --> 00:04:36.014
everybody's so engrossed
in trying to get the payback

113
00:04:36.188 --> 00:04:38.278
back and forth,
that sometimes they lose track

114
00:04:38.452 --> 00:04:40.671
of what they're fighting for,
and all they want to do

115
00:04:40.845 --> 00:04:43.108
is win and get
those other guys back

116
00:04:43.283 --> 00:04:44.545
and make those
other guys feel bad.

117
00:04:44.719 --> 00:04:46.982
- Okay,
what about all these people

118
00:04:47.156 --> 00:04:48.113
being racist
to me right now?

119
00:04:48.288 --> 00:04:49.854
What about that?

120
00:04:50.028 --> 00:04:50.855
- Donald Trump doesn't
give a fuck about you guys.

121
00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:52.379
That's the saddest part.

122
00:04:52.553 --> 00:04:53.641
That's it.

123
00:04:53.815 --> 00:04:55.425
Anybody with
that much money

124
00:04:55.599 --> 00:04:57.209
doesn't give a
fuck about you guys.

125
00:04:57.384 --> 00:04:59.734
- [Woman] We are all Americans,
so get out of my face!

Who gonna do what to me?

133
00:05:12.964 --> 00:05:15.663
I'll go out, I'll go out
before I do that, so what's up?

134
00:05:15.837 --> 00:05:17.534
- What we see
happening under Donald Trump

135
00:05:17.708 --> 00:05:20.668
is very scary,
but it continues

136
00:05:20.842 --> 00:05:24.976
what was very much in
full order under the Democrats.

137
00:05:25.150 --> 00:05:27.414
- We're seeing these
people step out into the public

138
00:05:27.588 --> 00:05:30.852
and spew their
hateful rhetoric.

139
00:05:31.026 --> 00:05:32.201
Sometimes it's
worse than rhetoric.

140
00:05:32.375 --> 00:05:33.985
Sometimes it's
physical violence.

[gulls cawing]

143
00:05:40.862 --> 00:05:42.907
- The date of the incident,
it was

144
00:05:43.081 --> 00:05:45.040
November 17th,
which was a Thursday.

145
00:05:45.214 --> 00:05:48.130
I ordered an Uber
early in the morning,

146
00:05:48.304 --> 00:05:52.569
and Muhammad showed
up as being my driver.

147
00:05:52.743 --> 00:05:54.397
We kind of,
halfway into the ride,

148
00:05:54.571 --> 00:05:56.312
kind of became
buddy-buddy a little bit,

149
00:05:56.486 --> 00:06:00.664
and that's when I
asked him how the post-election

150
00:06:00.838 --> 00:06:03.841
or how the election
environment had treated him

151
00:06:04.015 --> 00:06:05.974
because I had
seen things in the news.

152
00:06:06.801 --> 00:06:10.021
And I have a lot of
friends who are Muslim-Americans

153
00:06:10.195 --> 00:06:12.154
but are not necessarily
being discriminated against

154
00:06:12.328 --> 00:06:15.331
every day, so I'm interested
to ask these questions.

155
00:06:15.505 --> 00:06:19.030
And he responded to me,
"You know, it's better for me

156
00:06:19.204 --> 00:06:20.989
to show you
rather than tell you."

157
00:06:21.163 --> 00:06:23.470
- Trump is President,
asshole, so you can kiss

158
00:06:23.644 --> 00:06:26.821
your fucking visa goodbye,
scumbag.

159
00:06:26.995 --> 00:06:29.519
They'll deport you soon, don't
worry, you fucking terrorist.

160
00:06:29.693 --> 00:06:33.828
- The video just blew me
away because I wasn't expecting

161
00:06:34.002 --> 00:06:37.962
anything to contain so much
vitriol, hatred, intolerance,

162
00:06:38.136 --> 00:06:40.487
and just plain ignorance,
really.

163
00:06:40.661 --> 00:06:44.360
- Fucking Arab motherfucker,
terrorist, fucking cocksucker.

I don't care, bro,

by more than just myself
in the backseat of your car.

00:06:57.634 --> 00:06:59.897
This should be,

given to the media or
to the police or something,

172
00:07:02.726 --> 00:07:04.467
and be
investigated as a hate crime.

00:07:04.641 --> 00:07:07.035
- Appears to be another
bias incident in New York City.

174
00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:09.603
Several local
leaders say the incidents

175
00:07:09.777 --> 00:07:11.822
have spiked after
the presidential election.

176
00:07:11.996 --> 00:07:14.346
- [Mohammed] He told me,
"You have to respect me."

177
00:07:14.521 --> 00:07:16.610
I turned to him
and I said to him,

178
00:07:16.784 --> 00:07:19.526
"You have to respect the road,
and that's it."

179
00:07:19.700 --> 00:07:21.136
- [Reporter]
Mohammed went around the man.

180
00:07:21.310 --> 00:07:24.139
A block away, here at
the corner of 41st Avenue

181
00:07:24.313 --> 00:07:26.924
and Crescent Street, the
other driver began his tirade.

182
00:07:27.098 --> 00:07:29.623
- Fuck you and your family,
you terrorist fuck.

183
00:07:30.841 --> 00:07:32.582
Video all you want,
you're an Arab.

184
00:07:32.756 --> 00:07:34.976
You're a fucking loser,
sand nigger.

185
00:07:37.979 --> 00:07:40.024
- The America that I
was raised to believe in

186
00:07:40.198 --> 00:07:44.289
is very much an America
where no matter who you are,

187
00:07:44.464 --> 00:07:46.640
as long as you
work hard and play

188
00:07:46.814 --> 00:07:48.729
by the rules,
we're all equal.

189
00:07:48.903 --> 00:07:54.909
And these types of behaviors
and xenophobic overreactions,

190
00:07:55.083 --> 00:07:57.389
especially to people
who are American citizens,

191
00:07:57.564 --> 00:08:00.828
are more
detrimental to the country

192
00:08:01.002 --> 00:08:02.656
than they are beneficial.

193
00:08:02.830 --> 00:08:04.832
Because if you
want to radicalize

194
00:08:05.006 --> 00:08:07.878
anybody who's a Muslim,
make them feel unwanted,

195
00:08:08.052 --> 00:08:10.838
make them feel hated and
that they don't belong here.

196
00:08:11.012 --> 00:08:12.187
That's how
you're gonna recruit

197
00:08:12.361 --> 00:08:14.450
somebody who's
gonna become ISIS.

198
00:08:14.624 --> 00:08:15.886
If you want
them to not do that,

199
00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:17.888
you just treat
them like you're equal.

200
00:08:18.062 --> 00:08:19.890
[electronic beeps]

201
00:08:20.064 --> 00:08:21.631
- Look,
I used to be a liberal.

202
00:08:21.805 --> 00:08:23.415
I used to be a
liberal like you.

203
00:08:23.590 --> 00:08:25.505
I'm not brainwashed anymore,
homie.

204
00:08:25.679 --> 00:08:28.986
Hey, I'm a Latino
and I voted for Trump.

205
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.816
There's a lot of Trump
supporters that are in
the closet

206
00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:36.472
or are not very
outspoken and are very silent.

207
00:08:36.646 --> 00:08:38.169
Why?

208
00:08:38.343 --> 00:08:41.216
It is because we saw the
violence that was happening

209
00:08:41.390 --> 00:08:43.261
to Trump
supporters from the beginning.

210
00:08:43.435 --> 00:08:44.785
- Then what?
- That's good.

211
00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:46.134
[people shouting]

212
00:08:46.308 --> 00:08:47.483
That's a good start.
- Then what?

213
00:08:47.657 --> 00:08:48.832
Yeah,
it's a good fucking start.

214
00:08:49.006 --> 00:08:50.051
- [Cameraman]
It is a good start.

215
00:08:50.225 --> 00:08:51.052
You don't like Trump,
why?

216
00:08:51.226 --> 00:08:52.183
I'm just asking,
why?

217
00:08:52.357 --> 00:08:53.358
- I am.
- Okay, I got it.

218
00:08:53.533 --> 00:08:54.969
All right,
that's it.

219
00:08:55.143 --> 00:08:57.754
- There's a lot of
hate on the opposition side

220
00:08:57.928 --> 00:08:59.843
coming from the
liberals and the Democrats.

221
00:09:00.017 --> 00:09:01.192
They do attack us.

222
00:09:01.366 --> 00:09:03.194
I personally
have been assaulted.

223
00:09:03.368 --> 00:09:04.631
- Got it.
[skateboard bangs]

224
00:09:04.805 --> 00:09:06.197
[people shouting] Whoa!

225
00:09:07.851 --> 00:09:08.983
- [Man] What the fuck?

226
00:09:10.550 --> 00:09:12.029
- [Cameraman] I see
some damage on your left cheek.

227
00:09:12.203 --> 00:09:13.509
What happened?

228
00:09:13.683 --> 00:09:14.945
- He hit me with a
skateboard. - Okay, shh!

229
00:09:15.119 --> 00:09:16.904
I need it quiet
so I can hear him, go!

230
00:09:17.078 --> 00:09:18.253
- He hit me with a skateboard.
- Okay, what did he look like?

231
00:09:18.427 --> 00:09:19.950
- Shoot,
I didn't even see who hit me.

232
00:09:20.124 --> 00:09:21.648
Somebody came
right on the side.

233
00:09:21.822 --> 00:09:23.650
It's
unfortunate that these people

234
00:09:23.824 --> 00:09:26.261
have to resort to violence,
but I believe

235
00:09:26.435 --> 00:09:29.960
that they resort to violence
because that's all they have.

236
00:09:30.134 --> 00:09:33.050
They have no discussion,
they have no argument,

237
00:09:33.224 --> 00:09:36.924
they have no debate because
they are very misinformed.

238
00:09:37.098 --> 00:09:40.884
Now,
if there is or has been a case

239
00:09:41.058 --> 00:09:43.887
where there has been a Trump
supporter that has committed

240
00:09:44.061 --> 00:09:47.282
violence against the opposition,
I'm totally against it

241
00:09:47.456 --> 00:09:50.024
because that's not
what we're all about.

242
00:09:50.198 --> 00:09:51.416
That is not right.

243
00:09:51.591 --> 00:09:53.070
We have the right
to express ourselves

244
00:09:53.244 --> 00:09:54.724
just like as
well as they do.

245
00:09:54.898 --> 00:09:56.726
[people shouting]

246
00:09:56.900 --> 00:09:59.729
[electronic beeps]

247
00:09:59.903 --> 00:10:01.252
- It was about
a week and a half

248
00:10:01.426 --> 00:10:03.428
after the election
and I found the graffiti.

249
00:10:03.603 --> 00:10:04.516
We saw swastikas.

250
00:10:04.691 --> 00:10:06.301
We saw Trump's name.

251
00:10:07.563 --> 00:10:09.826
We knew that this
needed to be taken care of

252
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.133
by more than just
reporting it to the park.

253
00:10:12.307 --> 00:10:15.527
So I called Senator
Daniel Squadron's office.

254
00:10:15.702 --> 00:10:17.921
He's one of our
state senators locally,

255
00:10:18.095 --> 00:10:19.401
and they got right on it.

256
00:10:19.575 --> 00:10:20.663
They got the parks
department involved.

257
00:10:20.837 --> 00:10:22.926
They had
people over right away,

258
00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:25.450
removing the graffiti
as quickly as possible.

259
00:10:25.625 --> 00:10:28.453
They also
organized a rally in response,

260
00:10:28.628 --> 00:10:33.284
and they created
a reaction of love.

261
00:10:33.458 --> 00:10:35.722
- Thousands today
rallied here to send the message

262
00:10:35.896 --> 00:10:37.419
that hate will
not be tolerated,

263
00:10:37.593 --> 00:10:40.117
and they got some
help from a music legend.

264
00:10:40.291 --> 00:10:42.424
- Keep your eyes open,
stand up for each other,

265
00:10:42.598 --> 00:10:46.297
don't be afraid to step
in or enlist the help of others

266
00:10:46.471 --> 00:10:50.519
because this is
homegrown terrorism, for real.

267
00:10:50.693 --> 00:10:52.042
[crowd cheers]

268
00:10:52.216 --> 00:10:53.870
- [Reporter]
Beastie Boys' Adam Horovitz,

269
00:10:54.044 --> 00:10:55.872
better known as Ad-Rock,
leading a rally

270
00:10:56.046 --> 00:10:58.048
in Brooklyn's
Adam Yauch Park.

271
00:11:00.050 --> 00:11:02.226
- I feel
that this election

272
00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:05.969
has given a
voice to hateful people.

273
00:11:06.143 --> 00:11:09.407
It's one thing to be
conservative in your politics,

274
00:11:09.581 --> 00:11:13.890
but when it devolves
into truly hateful speech,

275
00:11:14.064 --> 00:11:17.546
calling people names,
telling people to go home,

276
00:11:18.503 --> 00:11:20.592
that's not
the United States

277
00:11:21.550 --> 00:11:24.509
that I ever
imagined we lived in.

278
00:11:24.684 --> 00:11:26.207
People are
feeling threatened.

279
00:11:26.381 --> 00:11:31.212
They no longer feel that
this a democratic safe space.

280
00:11:31.386 --> 00:11:34.868
There's a disconnect in
decency in this country now.

281
00:11:35.695 --> 00:11:38.785
[electronic beeps]

282
00:11:45.443 --> 00:11:49.273
- I guess it was maybe
a week after the election,

283
00:11:49.447 --> 00:11:52.624
and it was a
swastika graffiti

284
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.626
on the window
down at the fur place.

285
00:11:54.801 --> 00:11:57.238
- Some racist graffiti
referencing President-elect
Trump

286
00:11:57.412 --> 00:12:00.067
has been removed from a
South Philadelphia storefront.

287
00:12:00.241 --> 00:12:02.330
The graffiti,
which included swastikas

288
00:12:02.504 --> 00:12:04.724
and offensive language,
comes on the 78th anniversary

289
00:12:04.898 --> 00:12:07.422
of Kristallnacht,
when Jews were attacked.

290
00:12:12.383 --> 00:12:14.864
- People on the
block and around the area

291
00:12:15.038 --> 00:12:19.739
wrote on the sidewalk, "Accept
and protect your neighbors"

292
00:12:19.913 --> 00:12:24.918
ultimately with chalk, trying
to turn it into a positive.

293
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.617
As far as this election,
I think we all thought

294
00:12:28.791 --> 00:12:30.097
people had those thoughts.

295
00:12:30.271 --> 00:12:31.576
They were all there.

296
00:12:31.751 --> 00:12:33.578
Their ignorance
has always been there,

297
00:12:33.753 --> 00:12:37.539
and I think the scariest
thing is that now we have to,

298
00:12:37.713 --> 00:12:42.718
as a society, accept
that hatred people want to spew.

299
00:12:42.892 --> 00:12:45.895
[electronic beeps]

300
00:12:48.637 --> 00:12:52.032
- On June 2nd, 2016,
I went to a Trump rally

301
00:12:52.206 --> 00:12:55.339
in San Jose, California,
and at the Trump rally,

302
00:12:55.513 --> 00:12:57.037
I had gotten attacked,

303
00:12:57.211 --> 00:12:59.866
me and several other
dozens of Trump supporters.

304
00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:02.042
- There were violent
clashes between protesters

305
00:13:02.216 --> 00:13:03.521
and
supporters of Donald Trump

306
00:13:03.695 --> 00:13:05.262
outside an
appearance by the candidate.

307
00:13:05.436 --> 00:13:07.047
- [Reporter]
Trump supporters leaving

308
00:13:07.221 --> 00:13:08.962
the San Jose Convention
Center were surrounded, taunted,

309
00:13:09.136 --> 00:13:11.268
and attacked by
anti-Trump protesters.

310
00:13:11.442 --> 00:13:13.793
- [David] Some punched,
some chased down and beaten.

311
00:13:13.967 --> 00:13:15.272
Others had
bottles thrown at them.

312
00:13:15.446 --> 00:13:17.884
- That's not how you
get your message across,

313
00:13:18.058 --> 00:13:20.538
is by being so
forceful and aggressive.

314
00:13:20.712 --> 00:13:23.237
You have to work with people
in order to get anything done.

315
00:13:23.411 --> 00:13:25.239
- Our next guest is
a Latino Trump supporter

316
00:13:25.413 --> 00:13:27.241
who actually
attended Thursday night's rally

317
00:13:27.415 --> 00:13:30.505
and who went home with a
broken nose, a mild concussion,

318
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.681
and his clothing
looking like this.

319
00:13:32.855 --> 00:13:34.335
Look at this,
just for supporting

320
00:13:34.509 --> 00:13:36.816
his presidential candidate
of choice, Donald Trump.

321
00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:40.123
[static crackles]

322
00:13:40.297 --> 00:13:43.431
- I'm trying to stay
up as they're hitting us,

323
00:13:43.605 --> 00:13:45.868
and you can just
feel the blows coming

324
00:13:46.042 --> 00:13:49.089
on every single side of
you and I could feel scratches.

325
00:13:49.263 --> 00:13:52.788
And, finally, at some point,
I knew, my survival mode,

326
00:13:52.962 --> 00:13:54.877
I had to get up and
I had to do something.

327
00:13:55.051 --> 00:13:57.314
So I turned around and
I struck and I hit one guy,

328
00:13:57.488 --> 00:14:00.056
and I could
see that fist coming

329
00:14:00.230 --> 00:14:01.797
and it clocked
me right in the nose.

330
00:14:01.971 --> 00:14:04.278
And the blood just
started pouring like that.

331
00:14:04.452 --> 00:14:06.193
And people stood back,
I think they were in shock,

332
00:14:06.367 --> 00:14:08.543
and so I grabbed my
friend and we started running,

333
00:14:08.717 --> 00:14:10.197
running over here
to the parking garage.

334
00:14:10.371 --> 00:14:11.938
So after we're
running in here,

335
00:14:12.112 --> 00:14:16.333
thinking that we now
got away from the protesters,

336
00:14:16.507 --> 00:14:17.900
as we're walking in,
we could see

337
00:14:18.074 --> 00:14:20.468
a whole 'nother mob
down there of people.

338
00:14:20.642 --> 00:14:24.211
There was about three
cars that were waiting in line

339
00:14:24.385 --> 00:14:26.039
to come out,
but as you can see,

340
00:14:26.213 --> 00:14:29.346
there's a gate and so
people were just stopped there.

341
00:14:29.520 --> 00:14:31.566
And now, at this point,
now the protesters see us.

342
00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.960
- [Reporter] The
protesters shaking cars,

343
00:14:34.134 --> 00:14:35.309
breaking tail lights.

344
00:14:35.483 --> 00:14:37.180
[people shouting]

345
00:14:37.354 --> 00:14:39.269
- [Reporter] Protesters
attacked Trump supporters' cars

346
00:14:39.443 --> 00:14:41.619
in the parking garage
as they tried to leave.

347
00:14:41.793 --> 00:14:45.145
[people shouting]

348
00:14:45.319 --> 00:14:49.018
- They were like animals,
like monkeys on these cars.

349
00:14:49.192 --> 00:14:53.022
And I'm thinking,
just go, just go through it.

350
00:14:53.196 --> 00:14:54.850
The police
aren't doing anything.

351
00:14:56.112 --> 00:14:57.635
When we standing there,
my friend was driving

352
00:14:57.809 --> 00:14:58.898
because I couldn't drive.

353
00:14:59.072 --> 00:15:00.116
I was
lightheaded at this point

354
00:15:00.290 --> 00:15:01.465
'cause so much
blood was coming.

355
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.206
I told him,
push your pedal, go.

356
00:15:03.380 --> 00:15:06.601
Just push the cars
and they will go out.

357
00:15:06.775 --> 00:15:10.474
You have just desperation
because am I gonna die or not?

358
00:15:10.648 --> 00:15:14.087
[dramatic orchestral music]

359
00:15:15.523 --> 00:15:17.742
It's not okay and
this can't set a precedence

360
00:15:17.917 --> 00:15:19.570
that this is gonna
continue the next time,

361
00:15:19.744 --> 00:15:23.487
no matter who you vote for,
Hillary or Bernie or Trump.

362
00:15:23.661 --> 00:15:25.881
It doesn't
matter who you vote for.

363
00:15:26.055 --> 00:15:27.230
This isn't
supposed to happen.

364
00:15:27.404 --> 00:15:30.407
[electronic beeps]

365
00:15:37.762 --> 00:15:40.374
- [Chuck] My name is
Chuck Redding, I'm 75 years old,

366
00:15:40.548 --> 00:15:43.768
and right now, it's a
good time of the year for me

367
00:15:43.943 --> 00:15:46.684
to wrap Christmas
presents for people,

368
00:15:46.858 --> 00:15:49.600
but the circumstances
being now that it's

369
00:15:49.774 --> 00:15:53.474
a little bit rougher for
me to do it with only one hand.

370
00:15:53.648 --> 00:15:55.563
- Chuck Redding
says he was followed home

371
00:15:55.737 --> 00:15:57.434
by someone after
dropping off a friend,

372
00:15:57.608 --> 00:15:59.610
and he believes that
person was targeting him

373
00:15:59.784 --> 00:16:02.700
all because of the
stickers on the back of his car.

374
00:16:02.874 --> 00:16:04.876
- I saw him get out of
his car in my rearview mirror

375
00:16:05.051 --> 00:16:07.488
and come up and he
started beatin' on the window.

376
00:16:08.793 --> 00:16:12.406
And he said,
"Our new President says

377
00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:14.669
that we can kill
all you faggots now."

378
00:16:16.540 --> 00:16:17.324
Excuse me?

379
00:16:18.716 --> 00:16:22.851
It was probably
about 6:30 and I was coming

380
00:16:23.025 --> 00:16:24.418
down the main street,

381
00:16:24.592 --> 00:16:27.160
and I noticed that
this car was behind me.

382
00:16:27.334 --> 00:16:31.642
And I thought, I don't know
what this dude's problem is.

383
00:16:31.816 --> 00:16:35.037
So I stopped in the middle
of the street, windows were up.

384
00:16:35.211 --> 00:16:38.388
Unfortunately, the car door
was not locked, and he says,

385
00:16:38.562 --> 00:16:41.478
"You get what you deserve..."
or something to that effect.

386
00:16:42.610 --> 00:16:44.873
Yanked the door open,
pulled me out.

387
00:16:45.047 --> 00:16:46.396
He had ripped my
shirt and everything,

388
00:16:46.570 --> 00:16:49.834
and I was on the ground,
and I started to get up,

389
00:16:50.009 --> 00:16:52.315
and I jumped up and
I started to chase him,

390
00:16:52.489 --> 00:16:55.275
and while I was chasing him,
I realized that his back window

391
00:16:55.449 --> 00:16:57.190
on the
passenger side was open.

392
00:16:58.104 --> 00:17:02.195
And I was trying to
grab it and he flew backwards

393
00:17:02.369 --> 00:17:04.893
maybe 40 miles an hour,
squealing,

394
00:17:05.067 --> 00:17:08.070
and when he turned his
car to go around that curve,

395
00:17:08.244 --> 00:17:10.681
he caught me on
the side of the leg

396
00:17:10.855 --> 00:17:12.640
and knocked
me off balance.

397
00:17:12.814 --> 00:17:16.426
He didn't hurt me then but I
went down and I went down hard.

398
00:17:16.600 --> 00:17:20.343
And this hand,
it's been over a month now,

399
00:17:20.517 --> 00:17:23.999
and it's still
not healing correctly.

400
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.436
The people who
voted for Trump have

401
00:17:26.610 --> 00:17:29.700
no mind of their own,
I'm sorry to say that.

402
00:17:29.874 --> 00:17:31.224
I don't understand.

403
00:17:31.398 --> 00:17:33.008
The only thing
that I would ask him is,

404
00:17:33.182 --> 00:17:34.401
what did I do to you?

405
00:17:34.575 --> 00:17:36.011
Who are you?

406
00:17:36.185 --> 00:17:37.839
I don't know you,
but I must have done something

407
00:17:38.013 --> 00:17:39.928
to you for you
to hate me like this.

408
00:17:40.885 --> 00:17:43.584
[electronic beeps]

409
00:17:49.285 --> 00:17:52.723
- They have a
group called Antifa, okay?

410
00:17:52.897 --> 00:17:56.249
The Antifa's those ones
that wear all the black, okay?

411
00:17:56.423 --> 00:17:58.642
Those are the
people that are the problem.

412
00:17:58.816 --> 00:18:02.211
They are going out
attacking Trump supporters.

413
00:18:02.385 --> 00:18:04.735
I've had to hold
my composure out there

414
00:18:04.909 --> 00:18:07.390
in these protests,
several times.

415
00:18:07.564 --> 00:18:08.783
I've been kicked.

416
00:18:08.957 --> 00:18:11.220
An old lady
kicked me and spit on me.

417
00:18:11.394 --> 00:18:14.876
You shouldn't put
your hands on nobody

418
00:18:15.050 --> 00:18:18.575
because of their
own personal opinion.

419
00:18:18.749 --> 00:18:21.317
Everybody is
different in the world.

420
00:18:21.491 --> 00:18:25.495
Everybody is not gonna
agree on the same thing.

421
00:18:25.669 --> 00:18:28.716
I might like green beans,
you might not like green beans,

422
00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:30.152
but if I'm
gonna beat you up

423
00:18:30.326 --> 00:18:32.285
because you don't
like green beans, no.

424
00:18:33.286 --> 00:18:36.202
You do not attack somebody

425
00:18:36.376 --> 00:18:39.683
because of their
own personal preference.

426
00:18:39.857 --> 00:18:42.077
[train clanks]

427
00:18:42.251 --> 00:18:43.470
- It doesn't
matter if other people

428
00:18:43.644 --> 00:18:44.862
believe
different things than we do.

429
00:18:45.036 --> 00:18:47.038
We're all part of
the same community here.

430
00:18:47.213 --> 00:18:51.130
And anytime anyone
hears some intolerance

431
00:18:51.304 --> 00:18:54.785
or is aware of
some hateful behavior

432
00:18:54.959 --> 00:18:57.745
or bigoted behavior,
we should denounce it.

433
00:18:57.919 --> 00:18:59.399
If it's a crime, we
should report it to the police.

434
00:18:59.573 --> 00:19:00.965
We should contact
the elected officials.

435
00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:03.054
In that way,
if we organize the community,

436
00:19:03.229 --> 00:19:05.187
I think there's a better
chance that people realize

437
00:19:05.361 --> 00:19:06.841
that this is
unacceptable behavior.

438
00:19:07.015 --> 00:19:08.799
- It is very
challenging to identify

439
00:19:08.973 --> 00:19:10.932
the number of discriminatory
harassment incidents

440
00:19:11.106 --> 00:19:12.716
that have
occurred since the election,

441
00:19:12.890 --> 00:19:15.980
but it's important
information for us to have

442
00:19:16.155 --> 00:19:18.026
because we wanna
know what's happening

443
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.811
and where it's happening,
so that we can again be

444
00:19:20.985 --> 00:19:22.944
out in communities,
talking to people,

445
00:19:23.118 --> 00:19:26.643
seeing what the needs are
and also collecting the data.

446
00:19:26.817 --> 00:19:29.168
If these things go unreported,
we'll never have

447
00:19:29.342 --> 00:19:31.822
a true sense
of what's going on.

448
00:19:31.996 --> 00:19:34.129
- [Narrator] According to
the Southern Poverty Law Center,

449
00:19:34.303 --> 00:19:36.566
in the 10 days after
the November 8th election,

450
00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:40.309
867 cases of
intimidation and harassment

451
00:19:40.483 --> 00:19:42.224
were reported
across the country,

452
00:19:42.398 --> 00:19:43.965
and the highest
number of incidents happened

453
00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:46.881
the day after the election,
mostly in public spaces

454
00:19:47.055 --> 00:19:49.884
and educational environments,
towards immigrants,

455
00:19:50.058 --> 00:19:52.843
black people,
and the LGBT community.

456
00:19:53.017 --> 00:19:55.194
Even though this data
goes along with publications

457
00:19:55.368 --> 00:19:57.152
from hundreds of
people on social media,

458
00:19:57.326 --> 00:19:59.110
police reports,
and news clips,

459
00:19:59.285 --> 00:20:01.983
there are still several
concerns about this research.

460
00:20:02.157 --> 00:20:04.333
The Southern
Poverty Law Center explains

461
00:20:04.507 --> 00:20:06.509
that they couldn't
verify all these incidents,

462
00:20:06.683 --> 00:20:10.383
yet news companies like
The Washington Post, USA Today,

463
00:20:10.557 --> 00:20:12.820
and other major media
immediately quoted this data

464
00:20:12.994 --> 00:20:14.822
to highlight a
spike in hate crimes.

465
00:20:14.996 --> 00:20:17.259
But most of these
incidents are not even crimes.

466
00:20:17.433 --> 00:20:20.697
They are hateful
messages but not legal crimes.

467
00:20:20.871 --> 00:20:23.352
Later in time, it was found
that several of these cases

468
00:20:23.526 --> 00:20:25.136
were not related
to Trump's election,

469
00:20:25.311 --> 00:20:27.313
and many were
made up completely.

470
00:20:27.487 --> 00:20:31.012
What's more concerning
is that in February 2017,

471
00:20:31.186 --> 00:20:33.362
ThinkProgress released
another study that reported

472
00:20:33.536 --> 00:20:36.452
261 hate
incidents across the country

473
00:20:36.626 --> 00:20:38.585
since November 9th,
and out of those,

474
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.762
42% were directly
related to Trump's victory.

475
00:20:41.936 --> 00:20:44.373
Even though
ThinkProgress and SPLC have

476
00:20:44.547 --> 00:20:46.201
some differences
in their criteria,

477
00:20:46.375 --> 00:20:48.247
these numbers are
significantly different.

478
00:20:48.421 --> 00:20:49.726
All of this
information was published

479
00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:51.250
months before
the FBI released

480
00:20:51.424 --> 00:20:53.426
their
official data from 2016,

481
00:20:53.600 --> 00:20:56.690
which confirmed a spike
in hate crimes since 2015.

482
00:20:56.864 --> 00:20:58.257
But they
didn't find a link

483
00:20:58.431 --> 00:21:00.389
between Trump's
election and the increase.

484
00:21:00.563 --> 00:21:02.696
There is no doubt that
there were legitimate reports

485
00:21:02.870 --> 00:21:04.350
of hate crimes
and hateful incidents

486
00:21:04.524 --> 00:21:06.961
against different people,
especially minorities,

487
00:21:07.135 --> 00:21:09.746
and even one is too many,
but hyping the data

488
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.705
and suppressing
inconvenient information

489
00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:13.750
gives a bias and
misleading perspective

490
00:21:13.924 --> 00:21:15.274
of the
post-election conflict.

491
00:21:15.448 --> 00:21:17.580
This mix of
information works as fuel

492
00:21:17.754 --> 00:21:19.930
for potential
violence in a divided America.

493
00:21:20.104 --> 00:21:22.629
And on top of this,
Trump has not addressed

494
00:21:22.803 --> 00:21:25.240
this issue well enough,
and he has been criticized

495
00:21:25.414 --> 00:21:28.112
for not taking
responsibility for his rhetoric.

496
00:21:28.287 --> 00:21:30.550
- If it helps,
I will say this,

497
00:21:30.724 --> 00:21:32.943
and I'll say it right
to the camera, stop it!

498
00:21:34.989 --> 00:21:37.470
- I think it's
correct for Donald Trump

499
00:21:37.644 --> 00:21:39.602
to say things the
way he says things.

500
00:21:41.735 --> 00:21:44.085
I think that he's
misunderstood in the way

501
00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:49.220
that he says certain things,
and I get it.

502
00:21:49.395 --> 00:21:51.440
I feel like I
get Donald Trump.

503
00:21:51.614 --> 00:21:54.138
- I've worked with
men like Donald Trump.

504
00:21:54.313 --> 00:21:56.315
Yes,
his words are brutal,

505
00:21:56.489 --> 00:22:00.014
but at least he's
honest and he's real.

506
00:22:00.188 --> 00:22:03.104
- I believe
that we need somebody

507
00:22:03.278 --> 00:22:05.498
in office
that's gonna be tough,

508
00:22:05.672 --> 00:22:10.720
that's gonna be speaking
the truth, even if it hurts.

509
00:22:11.155 --> 00:22:14.811
More than anything, I believe
that he's just being assertive

510
00:22:14.985 --> 00:22:16.726
and he's standing
up for our country.

511
00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:21.818
- I believe that the leadership
does have a responsibility

512
00:22:22.732 --> 00:22:25.822
to unify, especially the
President of the United States

513
00:22:25.996 --> 00:22:29.130
has a responsibility
to unify the United States.

514
00:22:31.654 --> 00:22:34.004
I don't think that
they are responsible

515
00:22:34.178 --> 00:22:38.966
or should be held accountable
to the people's behavior

516
00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:42.230
because we all have a
choice in how we want to act.

517
00:22:42.404 --> 00:22:46.887
- If I thought Trump
was a bigot or a racist,

518
00:22:47.061 --> 00:22:49.585
I would not be supporting him,
but I don't see that.

519
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.544
I see him
saying certain things

520
00:22:51.718 --> 00:22:54.460
and then having
people exaggerating it.

521
00:22:54.634 --> 00:22:56.810
- I'm sure everybody
has let somethin' slip

522
00:22:56.984 --> 00:23:00.727
out of they mouth that
they shouldn't let slip,

523
00:23:00.901 --> 00:23:03.164
a couple of
times in they life.

524
00:23:03.338 --> 00:23:07.081
So stop bein'
harsh on the man, okay?

525
00:23:07.255 --> 00:23:11.520
He has to show
a strength of power

526
00:23:11.694 --> 00:23:15.611
because if not,
those other international people

527
00:23:15.785 --> 00:23:18.484
gonna think we
have a weak President,

528
00:23:18.658 --> 00:23:22.313
a weak,
passive President, okay?

529
00:23:22.488 --> 00:23:24.446
But we need a
man that's strong

530
00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:27.797
and speaks his mind,
and that's what he's doing.

531
00:23:27.971 --> 00:23:33.150
- I think the
majority of the rhetoric

532
00:23:33.324 --> 00:23:36.719
out there right now
is coming from the media.

533
00:23:36.893 --> 00:23:38.808
- I'm very
angry at the media

534
00:23:38.982 --> 00:23:42.551
because they manipulate
and they deceive people,

535
00:23:42.725 --> 00:23:46.033
and it makes us
make irrational decisions.

536
00:23:46.207 --> 00:23:48.601
- I personally do
think that the media

537
00:23:48.775 --> 00:23:50.907
has also cherry-picked
things that he's said.

538
00:23:51.081 --> 00:23:52.735
And if you listen to,
for instance,

539
00:23:52.909 --> 00:23:54.563
the entirety
of a certain speech

540
00:23:54.737 --> 00:23:56.739
and you listen to the
context of what he said before

541
00:23:56.913 --> 00:23:58.611
and the context
of what he said after,

542
00:23:58.785 --> 00:24:00.700
when he says certain things,
then you get

543
00:24:00.874 --> 00:24:04.965
why this one sentence that they
play over and over and over,

544
00:24:05.139 --> 00:24:08.969
on ABC News or whatever,
sounds so bad,

545
00:24:09.143 --> 00:24:11.537
but when you listen
before and after, you get it.

546
00:24:11.711 --> 00:24:13.582
- Donald
Trump and animals.

547
00:24:13.756 --> 00:24:16.019
For the last two days, the
President of the United States

548
00:24:16.193 --> 00:24:20.763
has been trying to rewrite
some people into animals.

549
00:24:20.937 --> 00:24:22.548
- We're taking
people out of the country.

550
00:24:22.722 --> 00:24:24.637
You wouldn't believe
how bad these people are.

551
00:24:24.811 --> 00:24:28.641
These aren't people,
these are animals.

552
00:24:28.815 --> 00:24:30.425
- It's no surprise
that the left-wing media

553
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.602
hates President Trump,
but this next story might be

554
00:24:33.776 --> 00:24:37.388
one of the most grotesquely
irresponsible examples yet.

555
00:24:37.563 --> 00:24:39.695
During yesterday's
Sanctuary State Roundtable,

556
00:24:39.869 --> 00:24:43.046
the President was asked
about the dangerous MS-13 gang.

557
00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:45.658
The mainstream press,
including The New York Times,

558
00:24:45.832 --> 00:24:48.530
USA Today,
Washington Post and many others,

559
00:24:48.704 --> 00:24:51.838
took Trump out of context,
suggesting he called

560
00:24:52.012 --> 00:24:55.972
all illegal immigrants animals,
not just MS-13.

561
00:24:56.146 --> 00:24:58.322
- What did the
President mean when he said

562
00:24:58.497 --> 00:25:01.282
some immigrants are not people,
they're animals?

563
00:25:01.456 --> 00:25:03.676
- The President was
very clearly referring

564
00:25:03.850 --> 00:25:08.028
to MS-13 gang members
who enter the country illegally

565
00:25:08.202 --> 00:25:11.205
and whose deportations
are hamstrung by our laws.

566
00:25:18.429 --> 00:25:20.431
- Yep, we have people
coming into the country

567
00:25:20.606 --> 00:25:23.565
or trying to come in,
we're stopping a lot of 'em,

568
00:25:23.739 --> 00:25:25.349
but we're taking
people out of the country.

569
00:25:25.524 --> 00:25:28.265
You wouldn't believe
how bad these people are.

570
00:25:28.439 --> 00:25:31.312
These aren't people,
these are animals.

571
00:25:31.486 --> 00:25:34.881
- We have this bifurcated
media where people can go

572
00:25:35.055 --> 00:25:39.668
and listen and read
information that supports

573
00:25:39.842 --> 00:25:41.365
just what they
want to believe.

574
00:25:42.366 --> 00:25:47.241
So liberals can go to
MSNBC and The New York Times,

575
00:25:47.415 --> 00:25:50.505
and conservatives
can go to Fox News

576
00:25:50.679 --> 00:25:53.769
and The Wall Street Journal
and never really encounter

577
00:25:53.943 --> 00:25:57.033
the other
side of the aisle.

578
00:25:57.207 --> 00:25:58.992
Conflict is a
great business model.

579
00:25:59.166 --> 00:26:01.124
Nobody watches a television
show where everybody gets along.

580
00:26:01.298 --> 00:26:02.473
They want people to fight.

581
00:26:02.648 --> 00:26:03.866
And you can
make money that way.

582
00:26:04.040 --> 00:26:05.738
But it's just
terrible for the country.

583
00:26:05.912 --> 00:26:08.349
It's terrible if
we're trying to establish

584
00:26:08.523 --> 00:26:12.266
a consensual view of what the
basic facts on the ground are.

585
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.920
[people shouting]

586
00:26:14.094 --> 00:26:16.575
- Racist trash!
- Breitbart is racist trash!

587
00:26:16.749 --> 00:26:17.488
- Selling fear.

588
00:26:17.663 --> 00:26:21.405
[people chattering]

589
00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:23.538
- Stay back.

590
00:26:24.800 --> 00:26:26.106
You're brainwashed.

591
00:27:10.324 --> 00:27:11.934
- Can you give me one
minute to just say something?

592
00:27:12.108 --> 00:27:13.370
- Yes, please.
- Yes!

593
00:27:13.544 --> 00:27:14.328
- Can you
give me one minute?

594
00:27:14.502 --> 00:27:16.199
I am not against anybody.

595
00:27:16.373 --> 00:27:18.027
Listen to me.

596
00:27:18.201 --> 00:27:20.508
You guys have the right
to protest just as they do.

597
00:27:20.682 --> 00:27:22.945
I would hope
you keep it peaceful,

598
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.340
so I don't have to call a
whole squad of cops out here.

599
00:27:26.514 --> 00:27:28.559
- If you have to call-
- Hang on a second.

600
00:27:28.734 --> 00:27:29.386
No.

601
00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:32.172
[people shouting]

602
00:27:32.346 --> 00:27:36.698
I would rather they
patrol and do their jobs

603
00:27:36.872 --> 00:27:40.876
than to stand out here
and monitor a peaceful protest!

604
00:27:41.050 --> 00:27:43.705
- We're here peacefully.
- But it can only be peaceful

605
00:27:43.879 --> 00:27:46.403
if you guys keep it peaceful!
[crowd applauds]

606
00:27:46.577 --> 00:27:47.404
Okay?

607
00:27:47.578 --> 00:27:49.711
That's all I'm asking!

608
00:27:49.885 --> 00:27:51.408
- Thank you,
sir, thank you, sir.

609
00:27:51.582 --> 00:27:52.932
- All right,
thank you.

610
00:27:53.106 --> 00:27:55.108
- The media has
played an enormous role

611
00:27:55.282 --> 00:27:57.414
not only in
Trump's rise to power

612
00:27:57.588 --> 00:27:59.547
but in his
maintenance of power.

613
00:27:59.721 --> 00:28:04.726
And this was said very clearly
by the president of CBS News

614
00:28:05.161 --> 00:28:08.861
during the election campaign,
when CBS

615
00:28:09.035 --> 00:28:12.516
was criticized by
having Trump on all the time,

616
00:28:12.691 --> 00:28:16.259
constantly
putting Trump's image on,

617
00:28:16.433 --> 00:28:21.700
therefore giving him more power,
activating his views

618
00:28:21.874 --> 00:28:24.137
and his
thoughts and his language

619
00:28:24.311 --> 00:28:26.792
in the brains
of people watching.

620
00:28:26.966 --> 00:28:29.664
And what the
president of CBS news said was,

621
00:28:29.838 --> 00:28:33.233
"This may be bad for the
country, but it's very,
very good

622
00:28:33.407 --> 00:28:36.279
for the profits of
CBS," and this is true.

623
00:28:36.453 --> 00:28:39.456
It turns out that when
Trump does something outrageous

624
00:28:39.630 --> 00:28:41.850
and then the press
debates it for days,

625
00:28:42.024 --> 00:28:43.678
it turns out it
gets higher ratings.

626
00:28:43.852 --> 00:28:47.421
People watch those debates
and it's Trump all day long.

627
00:28:47.595 --> 00:28:50.163
He knows how to
control the media.

628
00:28:50.337 --> 00:28:51.860
- [Narrator]
According to MediaQuant,

629
00:28:52.034 --> 00:28:55.168
in a 12-month period
until Election Day in 2012,

630
00:28:55.342 --> 00:28:58.475
Obama received above
$1 billion in media value.

631
00:28:58.649 --> 00:29:03.785
In 2016, Hillary received 3.24
billion but fell behind Trump

632
00:29:03.959 --> 00:29:07.920
who had a total free
media value of $4.96 billion.

633
00:29:09.791 --> 00:29:12.881
[electronic beeps]

634
00:29:16.276 --> 00:29:18.452
- [Man] Shut up,
I was not talking to you!

635
00:29:18.626 --> 00:29:21.455
- [Woman] That's a Democrat
liberal acting like a fool.

636
00:29:21.629 --> 00:29:23.196
- [Man] At least I
didn't grab anybody's pussy.

637
00:29:23.370 --> 00:29:24.850
- [Man] You
don't want to debate.

638
00:29:25.024 --> 00:29:27.766
You're so full of
yourself and shove people down.

639
00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:29.811
I was listening but
you didn't let me finish.

640
00:29:29.985 --> 00:29:32.161
- No, the thing is
they would not let me finish.

641
00:29:32.335 --> 00:29:34.860
Every few seconds,
just like Donald Trump

642
00:29:35.034 --> 00:29:36.557
did to Hillary
Clinton at the debate,

643
00:29:36.731 --> 00:29:39.603
you wanted to say,
wrong this, that, the other.

644
00:29:39.778 --> 00:29:40.517
- And guess what?

645
00:29:40.691 --> 00:29:41.954
He's President now.

646
00:29:42.128 --> 00:29:43.564
It worked.
- She lost!

647
00:29:43.738 --> 00:29:45.435
- Thank you very much,
now here's the deal.

648
00:29:45.609 --> 00:29:47.220
I don't care
if you are a--

649
00:29:47.394 --> 00:29:49.309
- If you went out around
the world and you asked people,

650
00:29:49.483 --> 00:29:51.224
who's more biased,
liberals or conservatives?

651
00:29:51.398 --> 00:29:53.530
It would really depend
on who you asked, right?

652
00:29:53.704 --> 00:29:55.881
Liberals would say
conservatives are more biased,

653
00:29:56.055 --> 00:29:58.535
and conservatives would say
that liberals are more biased,

654
00:29:58.709 --> 00:30:01.060
and that's kind of the state
of the world that we're in.

655
00:30:01.234 --> 00:30:03.410
So we did a study
that's called a meta-analysis

656
00:30:03.584 --> 00:30:06.326
where you take the
results of lots of studies

657
00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:08.589
that have been done
and you statistically combine

658
00:30:08.763 --> 00:30:10.460
the results to try
and get a better sense

659
00:30:10.634 --> 00:30:13.028
of what the
body of research says.

660
00:30:13.202 --> 00:30:15.944
We found that both
sides are biased significantly

661
00:30:16.118 --> 00:30:17.467
to sort of a
moderate extent.

662
00:30:17.641 --> 00:30:19.078
They're more
willing to accept

663
00:30:19.252 --> 00:30:20.731
a piece of information
as true if it supports

664
00:30:20.906 --> 00:30:22.864
their political
views than if it doesn't.

665
00:30:23.038 --> 00:30:25.258
And both liberals and
conservatives are biased,

666
00:30:25.432 --> 00:30:28.261
and they're biased to
almost the identical degrees.

667
00:30:28.435 --> 00:30:30.393
- Donald Trump was
actually not elected

668
00:30:30.567 --> 00:30:32.787
by the American
people because the majority

669
00:30:32.961 --> 00:30:35.398
of the American people
elected Hillary Clinton.

670
00:30:35.572 --> 00:30:36.573
It was actually-
- That's not true.

671
00:30:36.747 --> 00:30:39.620
[people shouting]

672
00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:43.450
- You're right,
you're right, you know what?

673
00:30:43.624 --> 00:30:44.843
You are right,
but guess...

674
00:30:45.017 --> 00:30:46.192
The popular
vote is not important.

675
00:30:46.366 --> 00:30:48.934
The electoral
votes are important.

676
00:30:49.108 --> 00:30:50.674
That's why she lost.

677
00:30:50.849 --> 00:30:55.854
Donald Trump won because
he got 307 and she got 230.

678
00:30:56.245 --> 00:30:58.944
She wasn't even
close to winning.

679
00:30:59.118 --> 00:31:03.122
She had to win to 270,
so the popular vote,

680
00:31:03.296 --> 00:31:05.428
she got the popular
vote because of California

681
00:31:05.602 --> 00:31:08.649
'cause California's
full of minorities, that's why.

682
00:31:08.823 --> 00:31:12.261
But the bottom line,
the Americans voted
for Donald Trump.

683
00:31:12.435 --> 00:31:13.828
That's why he won.

684
00:31:14.002 --> 00:31:15.438
- People think they
think like scientists

685
00:31:15.612 --> 00:31:17.440
when they really
think like lawyers.

686
00:31:17.614 --> 00:31:19.007
Scientists will
think from the ground up.

687
00:31:19.181 --> 00:31:21.183
You take sets of
facts and you follow

688
00:31:21.357 --> 00:31:22.924
those facts
wherever they lead you.

689
00:31:23.098 --> 00:31:25.666
Attorneys, on the other hand,
have some conclusion

690
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:27.886
that they want to reach
and then they harness facts

691
00:31:28.060 --> 00:31:29.800
to try to
support that conclusion.

692
00:31:29.975 --> 00:31:32.064
We think about
ourselves as rational creatures

693
00:31:32.238 --> 00:31:33.761
when we're really
much more emotional,

694
00:31:33.935 --> 00:31:36.982
and those feelings change
the way we make judgments.

695
00:31:37.156 --> 00:31:40.855
Our moral evaluations
change our factual beliefs.

696
00:31:41.029 --> 00:31:42.248
And when
somebody believes something

697
00:31:42.422 --> 00:31:44.511
very different
from what you believe,

698
00:31:44.685 --> 00:31:46.165
there's two sort
of common reactions.

699
00:31:46.339 --> 00:31:49.255
You must be either
stupid or you're lying

700
00:31:49.429 --> 00:31:51.692
or are deluded somehow.

701
00:31:53.607 --> 00:31:55.696
Neither of those
things are good ways

702
00:31:55.870 --> 00:31:57.611
to make friends
and influence people.

703
00:31:57.785 --> 00:32:01.571
And that's what I think creates
a lot of conflict as well.

704
00:32:01.745 --> 00:32:04.531
Not only does it
impede progress toward policy,

705
00:32:04.705 --> 00:32:06.837
but it makes
people dislike each other

706
00:32:07.012 --> 00:32:08.361
because of these kind of,
you know,

707
00:32:08.535 --> 00:32:10.841
I can't understand
why you believe that.

708
00:32:11.016 --> 00:32:12.931
- Go away.
- Tell me, tell me right here.

709
00:32:13.105 --> 00:32:16.064
[people shouting]

710
00:32:16.238 --> 00:32:20.503
Okay, okay, she just said
to me that I don't belong here.

711
00:32:20.677 --> 00:32:21.635
I'm a citizen.

712
00:32:21.809 --> 00:32:23.028
How dare you talk to me?

713
00:32:23.202 --> 00:32:25.465
- She's a racist.
- You're a racist.

714
00:32:25.639 --> 00:32:28.424
[people shouting]

715
00:32:31.950 --> 00:32:35.475
- Last night, we were
at Santa Monica Promenade

716
00:32:35.649 --> 00:32:38.347
where we were
gonna have an event

717
00:32:38.521 --> 00:32:40.436
where we can
engage other people.

718
00:32:40.610 --> 00:32:42.438
We actually
had two microphones,

719
00:32:42.612 --> 00:32:46.442
and we were allowing
the liberals or the Democrats

720
00:32:46.616 --> 00:32:48.879
or the
opposition to have a voice,

721
00:32:49.054 --> 00:32:52.361
and in order that we can
debate and bring up issues.

722
00:32:52.535 --> 00:32:55.147
We are not out there to
make anybody believe anything,

723
00:32:55.321 --> 00:32:57.149
but what we found,
for the most part,

724
00:32:57.323 --> 00:32:59.760
is getting assaulted,
getting cursed out

725
00:32:59.934 --> 00:33:02.719
by the opposition,
and that's very unfortunate.

726
00:33:02.893 --> 00:33:06.723
I was very scared that
Hillary would be President

727
00:33:06.897 --> 00:33:12.773
because she wanted to bring
more illegal immigrants here.

728
00:33:12.947 --> 00:33:16.342
She also wanted to
bring Muslim refugees here.

729
00:33:16.516 --> 00:33:19.910
We know and I know
what's been happening in Europe,

730
00:33:20.085 --> 00:33:22.696
and after Donald J.
Trump became President,

731
00:33:22.870 --> 00:33:27.353
I felt a lot safer
because I knew his agenda

732
00:33:27.527 --> 00:33:29.572
was to protect
the American people

733
00:33:29.746 --> 00:33:32.880
from illegal immigrants
and from Muslim refugees.

734
00:33:33.054 --> 00:33:36.927
So I very much felt
very comforted and very safe

735
00:33:37.102 --> 00:33:39.495
and till this day
that our President,

736
00:33:39.669 --> 00:33:42.281
Donald J. Trump,
is gonna keep us Americans safe.

737
00:33:42.455 --> 00:33:44.326
So that's why I
feel so much necessary

738
00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:46.459
to go out there
and continue to protest,

739
00:33:46.633 --> 00:33:49.201
continue to rally,
and continue to promote him,

740
00:33:49.375 --> 00:33:53.901
so it could be easier for
him to be reelected with facts

741
00:33:54.075 --> 00:33:57.426
and with my life experiences
and exposing the truth.

742
00:33:58.123 --> 00:34:01.691
- I think
Republicans need to be better

743
00:34:01.865 --> 00:34:05.086
at the narrative,
explaining why.

744
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.004
Oftentimes, I feel like
the values are being attacked

745
00:34:10.178 --> 00:34:13.355
from the other side, and
therefore, you have to speak up.

746
00:34:13.529 --> 00:34:15.314
When you speak up,
you need to do it

747
00:34:15.488 --> 00:34:18.012
in the right way or
else you're gonna be seen

748
00:34:18.186 --> 00:34:21.276
as the hater,
which is so untrue.

749
00:34:21.450 --> 00:34:24.279
People think Republicans
are such bad, awful people.

750
00:34:24.453 --> 00:34:26.934
We've been ridiculed,
we've been demonized.

751
00:34:27.108 --> 00:34:28.370
It's a strategy.

752
00:34:28.544 --> 00:34:31.243
We know better,
we know who we are.

753
00:34:31.417 --> 00:34:33.114
Trump needs to
be very careful.

754
00:34:33.288 --> 00:34:35.682
I think that whenever you're
putting anything out there,

755
00:34:35.856 --> 00:34:38.598
you're taking a risk
that it can be misunderstood.

756
00:34:38.772 --> 00:34:40.078
But we know how Trump is.

757
00:34:40.252 --> 00:34:41.949
We know he's
gonna be unorthodox.

758
00:34:42.123 --> 00:34:44.125
He's out there,
this is who he is.

759
00:34:44.299 --> 00:34:47.737
Basically, I think it's
the spirit of the Tea Party,

760
00:34:47.911 --> 00:34:50.175
whether you call
yourself Tea Party or not.

761
00:34:50.349 --> 00:34:55.136
It's that spirit of the
Tea Party that got Trump elected

762
00:34:55.310 --> 00:34:58.139
because we saw what
was happening on the left,

763
00:34:58.313 --> 00:35:01.011
and it was very,
very scary, and it still is.

764
00:35:01.186 --> 00:35:03.101
- I, myself,
living here in West Hollywood,

765
00:35:03.275 --> 00:35:04.754
which is a
very left-wing city,

766
00:35:04.928 --> 00:35:07.322
especially because I'm a
public safety commissioner,

767
00:35:07.496 --> 00:35:10.456
I'm an appointed official,
I've been pretty quiet.

768
00:35:10.630 --> 00:35:12.327
I don't
express my views here.

769
00:35:12.501 --> 00:35:14.112
And the times
that I have, I get

770
00:35:14.286 --> 00:35:17.941
a lot of pushback,
and people's tempers flare.

771
00:35:18.116 --> 00:35:21.815
I think the worst comes out
in people when they feel scared.

772
00:35:21.989 --> 00:35:25.949
I'm not
personally afraid, no,

773
00:35:26.124 --> 00:35:28.778
but I'm also not going
around wearing the red hat

774
00:35:28.952 --> 00:35:30.954
or the shirt or
anything like that.

775
00:35:31.129 --> 00:35:32.652
I know where I live.

776
00:35:32.826 --> 00:35:36.743
If I did that and I
showed up at a protest march

777
00:35:36.917 --> 00:35:39.789
or something that
was against Donald Trump

778
00:35:39.963 --> 00:35:41.313
and I showed
up with my red hat,

779
00:35:41.487 --> 00:35:43.228
yeah, I'd probably
feel a little nervous.

780
00:35:43.402 --> 00:35:44.881
- Where I live,
here in the Bay Area,

781
00:35:45.055 --> 00:35:47.536
you can't go around walking,
telling people

782
00:35:47.710 --> 00:35:50.539
that you're a Republican,
let alone a Trump supporter,

783
00:35:50.713 --> 00:35:52.280
and it
shouldn't be that way

784
00:35:52.454 --> 00:35:55.501
because the other
side can say who they were.

785
00:35:55.675 --> 00:35:58.591
When I came out when I was gay,
I told some friends,

786
00:35:58.765 --> 00:36:01.724
then I told my parents, and
then I told some family members.

787
00:36:01.898 --> 00:36:03.422
You kind of tell
people like that, you know?

788
00:36:03.596 --> 00:36:05.511
You don't come out
with this party, hi, I'm gay.

789
00:36:05.685 --> 00:36:09.558
You tell people and
so it eases in to it.

790
00:36:09.732 --> 00:36:11.212
Coming out as
a Republican is

791
00:36:11.386 --> 00:36:14.520
by far worse
than coming out as gay,

792
00:36:14.694 --> 00:36:17.436
and especially
because it happened at one time

793
00:36:17.610 --> 00:36:21.744
that it was just this
influx of hate that I got.

794
00:36:21.918 --> 00:36:23.790
It was exactly what I
thought was gonna happen.

795
00:36:23.964 --> 00:36:27.446
That's why I was an
in-the-closet Republican Trump
supporter

796
00:36:27.620 --> 00:36:30.971
because I feared what
happened and what is happening.

797
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.368
[train clanks]

798
00:36:38.152 --> 00:36:41.460
- When people go to the polls,
they should be able to vote

799
00:36:41.634 --> 00:36:45.203
for what it is we want, but
instead we've been conditioned

800
00:36:45.377 --> 00:36:48.467
to vote against
what we're most afraid of.

801
00:36:48.641 --> 00:36:50.295
What does that
say about our democracy

802
00:36:50.469 --> 00:36:52.122
that the main
question in our mind is,

803
00:36:52.297 --> 00:36:53.646
who do we hate the most?

804
00:36:53.820 --> 00:36:56.605
And you go and you
vote against that person.

805
00:36:56.779 --> 00:36:57.867
That does not
move us forward.

806
00:36:58.041 --> 00:37:00.130
Democracy
needs a moral compass.

807
00:37:00.305 --> 00:37:02.176
It needs a
positive agenda.

808
00:37:02.350 --> 00:37:04.526
That's what we
need to restore by having

809
00:37:04.700 --> 00:37:07.225
a real democracy
that's working for us.

810
00:37:07.399 --> 00:37:10.358
People are
absolutely right to be cynical

811
00:37:10.532 --> 00:37:12.447
about the
government that's been inflicted

812
00:37:12.621 --> 00:37:15.494
on everyday people,
but the solution to that

813
00:37:15.668 --> 00:37:20.281
is not to descend into darkness
and militarism and violence.

814
00:37:20.455 --> 00:37:23.632
The solution to that is
to take back our democracy

815
00:37:23.806 --> 00:37:26.026
and restore
our human values

816
00:37:26.200 --> 00:37:27.723
on which all of
our lives depend.

817
00:37:27.897 --> 00:37:31.466
[electronic beeps]

818
00:37:31.640 --> 00:37:33.773
- When Newt Gingrich
became Speaker of the House

819
00:37:33.947 --> 00:37:36.602
in the early 1990s,
he sort of came in

820
00:37:36.776 --> 00:37:39.735
on this wave of
Republican revolution

821
00:37:39.909 --> 00:37:42.825
and shrank the congressional
work week to three days,

822
00:37:42.999 --> 00:37:45.785
so people stopped
living in Washington, D.C.

823
00:37:45.959 --> 00:37:48.266
And so it used to be
the case that congressist

824
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:49.615
people,
they were neighbors.

825
00:37:49.789 --> 00:37:51.486
Their kids
played soccer together.

826
00:37:51.660 --> 00:37:52.879
They had
barbecues together.

827
00:37:53.053 --> 00:37:54.620
They went out and
drank beer together.

828
00:37:54.794 --> 00:37:56.752
It's harder to demonize
somebody if you know them,

829
00:37:56.926 --> 00:37:59.277
but if I've never met you,
I've barely had any contact

830
00:37:59.451 --> 00:38:01.975
with you,
that's when it's much easier

831
00:38:02.149 --> 00:38:04.369
to demonize
somebody who you don't know.

832
00:38:04.543 --> 00:38:06.806
And so those kind
of simple ideas about,

833
00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:08.590
well, maybe we
should expand the work week,

834
00:38:08.764 --> 00:38:10.810
maybe we should get people
living back in Washington,

835
00:38:10.984 --> 00:38:12.725
well, maybe
something like that would work.

836
00:38:12.899 --> 00:38:15.858
I think the real
problem in American politics

837
00:38:16.032 --> 00:38:17.730
is the lack
of self-awareness.

838
00:38:17.904 --> 00:38:22.778
9/11 had an effect where it
kind of brought people together,

839
00:38:22.952 --> 00:38:24.780
maybe temporarily,
but it did have

840
00:38:24.954 --> 00:38:26.434
that effect of
bringing people together.

841
00:38:26.608 --> 00:38:29.132
So an external
attack on the United States,

842
00:38:29.307 --> 00:38:31.613
historically, the sort of
thing that changes the game.

843
00:38:31.787 --> 00:38:33.354
It takes two
sides that are fighting

844
00:38:33.528 --> 00:38:35.878
against each other as
enemies and say, well, gee,

845
00:38:36.052 --> 00:38:38.533
now we have to join together
to fight a common enemy.

846
00:38:38.707 --> 00:38:40.318
Those things sort of stop

847
00:38:40.492 --> 00:38:42.320
a political polarization
that we're experiencing.

848
00:38:42.494 --> 00:38:44.409
I'm not sure that
would happen today,

849
00:38:44.583 --> 00:38:46.889
that the polarization is
so bad that's it's not clear

850
00:38:47.063 --> 00:38:50.763
that an attack on the United
States wouldn't get sucked

851
00:38:50.937 --> 00:38:53.156
into that vortex
again and get polarized,

852
00:38:53.331 --> 00:38:54.332
where the right
views it in one way

853
00:38:54.506 --> 00:38:56.029
and the left
views it another,

854
00:38:56.203 --> 00:38:58.336
and people start blaming
each other for what's happening.

855
00:38:58.510 --> 00:39:00.773
And that's what
worries me the most,

856
00:39:00.947 --> 00:39:06.300
is that we're past some
point at which external events

857
00:39:06.474 --> 00:39:10.783
can easily bring us back
together and unite the two
sides.

858
00:39:11.653 --> 00:39:13.612
[people chattering]

859
00:39:13.786 --> 00:39:16.397
- The first thing to understand
about contemporary politics

860
00:39:16.571 --> 00:39:20.009
or any politics at all
is that politics is moral.

861
00:39:20.183 --> 00:39:21.533
It's about morality.

862
00:39:21.707 --> 00:39:23.622
It's about
right and wrong.

863
00:39:23.796 --> 00:39:27.974
So if anybody who's running
for office or is in politics

864
00:39:28.148 --> 00:39:31.760
says, "Here's my proposals,
do what I say",

865
00:39:31.934 --> 00:39:33.980
then the assumption
is it's right, not wrong.

866
00:39:34.154 --> 00:39:36.852
They never say,
"Do what I say because it's evil

867
00:39:37.026 --> 00:39:39.681
or it's awful or
it doesn't matter."

868
00:39:39.855 --> 00:39:43.381
The assumption is they think
it's right and that's important

869
00:39:43.555 --> 00:39:47.907
because politics has to
do with your moral worldview,

870
00:39:48.081 --> 00:39:51.737
but mostly your moral
worldview is unconscious.

871
00:39:51.911 --> 00:39:54.740
You're not always
aware of how you understand

872
00:39:54.914 --> 00:39:56.568
the world from a
moral perspective.

873
00:39:56.742 --> 00:39:59.222
You just have a
sense of right and wrong,

874
00:39:59.397 --> 00:40:01.877
even though it's being carried
out by your neural circuitry.

875
00:40:02.051 --> 00:40:03.618
The way it works is this,

876
00:40:03.792 --> 00:40:06.534
morality comes
out of family models,

877
00:40:06.708 --> 00:40:08.841
nurturant-parent
family for progressives

878
00:40:09.015 --> 00:40:11.539
and a strict-father
family for conservatives.

879
00:40:11.713 --> 00:40:14.542
A progressive family,
you have a mother and a father

880
00:40:14.716 --> 00:40:16.979
who are both
equally responsible

881
00:40:17.153 --> 00:40:19.112
for the household
and raising the child.

882
00:40:19.286 --> 00:40:21.331
They have to be empathetic
toward their children.

883
00:40:21.506 --> 00:40:24.944
And this is something that
Barack Obama said very clearly,

884
00:40:25.118 --> 00:40:28.338
that it's the duty of
parents and particularly fathers

885
00:40:28.513 --> 00:40:31.298
to make sure that they
empathize with their children

886
00:40:31.472 --> 00:40:33.953
and they teach their children
to empathize with others

887
00:40:34.127 --> 00:40:36.303
because otherwise you'll
get a generation of people

888
00:40:36.477 --> 00:40:37.870
who don't care
about anybody else.

889
00:40:38.044 --> 00:40:39.437
And that's a
very progressive view.

890
00:40:39.611 --> 00:40:41.917
Now,
the conservative worldview,

891
00:40:42.091 --> 00:40:44.964
that arises from a strict-father
family, and it says,

892
00:40:45.138 --> 00:40:47.706
father knows best,
he knows right from wrong.

893
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.578
And because he knows best,
his word is law.

894
00:40:50.752 --> 00:40:53.320
What he says is
taken as being true.

895
00:40:53.494 --> 00:40:56.671
And he has the authority
and the power within the family

896
00:40:56.845 --> 00:40:59.979
to say what's right and
wrong and to reward and punish.

897
00:41:00.153 --> 00:41:02.677
If you believe in a
strict-father morality,

898
00:41:02.851 --> 00:41:06.028
what that says is
that those who are right,

899
00:41:06.202 --> 00:41:08.204
who are most
powerful in the world,

900
00:41:08.378 --> 00:41:11.077
are powerful because
they have the right morality.

901
00:41:11.251 --> 00:41:14.036
All of that comes
out of moral worldviews,

902
00:41:14.210 --> 00:41:17.431
and we see that in the
split in the country today.

903
00:41:17.605 --> 00:41:19.781
What's particularly
interesting about this

904
00:41:19.955 --> 00:41:22.784
is that a lot of people are
not strictly one or the other.

905
00:41:22.958 --> 00:41:25.395
There are people
who are called moderates.

906
00:41:25.570 --> 00:41:28.094
A moderate is
someone who is mostly one

907
00:41:28.268 --> 00:41:30.966
but partly the other,
mostly say progressive

908
00:41:31.140 --> 00:41:33.229
but with some
conservative views or other.

909
00:41:33.403 --> 00:41:35.449
But there's no
worldview of the moderate

910
00:41:35.623 --> 00:41:36.755
that all
moderates agree on.

911
00:41:36.929 --> 00:41:38.539
There's no center.

912
00:41:38.713 --> 00:41:40.541
Now, how can you have
contradictory moral worldviews

913
00:41:40.715 --> 00:41:41.847
in a single brain?

914
00:41:42.021 --> 00:41:43.631
And the
answer is very simple.

915
00:41:43.805 --> 00:41:46.678
Each worldview, when turned on,
turns the other one off.

916
00:41:46.852 --> 00:41:49.419
Language activates a
given moral worldview,

917
00:41:49.594 --> 00:41:52.074
and the more you hear it,
the stronger it gets.

918
00:41:52.248 --> 00:41:55.817
What that means is that
if you are constantly exposed

919
00:41:55.991 --> 00:41:59.647
to conservative discourse,
if you start out as a Democrat,

920
00:41:59.821 --> 00:42:01.649
you'll be moving
more and more to the right.

921
00:42:01.823 --> 00:42:03.433
What is Trump about?

922
00:42:03.608 --> 00:42:06.524
He obviously has strict-father
values and he wants to be

923
00:42:06.698 --> 00:42:09.004
the most powerful
strict father in the world.

924
00:42:09.178 --> 00:42:10.919
It means that he believes

925
00:42:11.093 --> 00:42:12.965
that the world
should be run his way.

926
00:42:13.139 --> 00:42:14.575
In order for
that to happen,

927
00:42:14.749 --> 00:42:17.491
he has to maintain his
income and being popular.

928
00:42:17.665 --> 00:42:20.450
And it doesn't matter what
his connections to Russia are.

929
00:42:20.625 --> 00:42:23.062
It doesn't matter whether
he tells the truth or not.

930
00:42:23.236 --> 00:42:26.544
All those things
are secondary to the idea

931
00:42:26.718 --> 00:42:28.502
that America
is going to be run

932
00:42:28.676 --> 00:42:31.244
the way you morally
think it should be run.

933
00:42:31.418 --> 00:42:33.551
That is what
Trump supporters believe.

934
00:42:33.725 --> 00:42:36.336
Under Obama,
those folks lived in a country

935
00:42:36.510 --> 00:42:39.034
where the President
was against their world views

936
00:42:39.208 --> 00:42:41.036
and,
therefore, their identity.

937
00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:43.778
And similarly, progressives,
when Trump was elected

938
00:42:43.952 --> 00:42:46.302
and given what he's done,
feel oppressed as well.

939
00:42:46.476 --> 00:42:48.522
There is a
resistance out there.

940
00:42:48.696 --> 00:42:51.569
There is a large
movement to change this.

941
00:42:51.743 --> 00:42:53.005
Why?

942
00:42:53.179 --> 00:42:55.050
Because people
feel that they must do

943
00:42:55.224 --> 00:42:56.704
something to change it.

944
00:42:56.878 --> 00:42:59.228
They feel
oppressed to such a degree

945
00:42:59.402 --> 00:43:02.449
that they feel democracy
is being taken away from them,

946
00:43:02.623 --> 00:43:05.931
and everything they
value is being taken away,

947
00:43:06.105 --> 00:43:07.933
and they have
to do something.

948
00:43:08.107 --> 00:43:09.848
- [Man] Excuse my language,
but on three,

949
00:43:10.022 --> 00:43:11.327
we gonna say,
fuck Trump!

950
00:43:11.501 --> 00:43:12.415
One, two,
three!

951
00:43:12.590 --> 00:43:13.678
- [Crowd] Fuck Trump!

952
00:43:13.852 --> 00:43:14.983
- [Man] One, two,
three!

953
00:43:15.157 --> 00:43:16.071
- [Crowd] Fuck Trump!

954
00:43:16.245 --> 00:43:17.290
- [Man] One, two,
three!

955
00:43:17.464 --> 00:43:18.508
- [Crowd] Fuck Trump!

956
00:43:18.683 --> 00:43:20.859
[crowd cheers]

957
00:43:21.033 --> 00:43:23.688
- [Narrator] Following
Trump's election, large protests

958
00:43:23.862 --> 00:43:26.342
were held in several major
cities across the United States

959
00:43:26.516 --> 00:43:28.518
and in some
countries around the world.

960
00:43:28.693 --> 00:43:31.347
Thousands of protesters
participated in each city

961
00:43:31.521 --> 00:43:34.612
in the form of walkouts,
business closures, petitions,

962
00:43:34.786 --> 00:43:37.179
rallies,
demonstrations, and marches.

963
00:43:37.353 --> 00:43:38.572
[people shouting]

964
00:43:38.746 --> 00:43:39.617
- [Woman] You
just pushed a woman!

965
00:43:39.791 --> 00:43:41.270
- [Crowd]
Not my President!

966
00:43:41.444 --> 00:43:46.449
Not my President,
not my President!

967
00:43:48.974 --> 00:43:50.932
- [Narrator] According
to Crowd Counting Consortium,

968
00:43:51.106 --> 00:43:54.719
only in 2017,
it is estimated that between six

969
00:43:54.893 --> 00:43:57.678
and nine million
people protested in the U.S.,

970
00:43:57.852 --> 00:44:01.987
and 89% of these people were
protesting Trump or his agenda.

971
00:44:02.161 --> 00:44:04.903
Since the
Women's March in 2017,

972
00:44:05.077 --> 00:44:06.992
which is considered the
biggest single-day protest

973
00:44:07.166 --> 00:44:09.777
in the history of the U.S.,
until the end of that year,

974
00:44:09.951 --> 00:44:13.085
over 8,700
protests were listed.

975
00:44:14.086 --> 00:44:16.088
- [Woman] It
is our duty to win.

976
00:44:16.262 --> 00:44:19.004
- [Crowd] It
is our duty to win.

977
00:44:19.178 --> 00:44:21.659
- [Woman] We must
support and love each other.

978
00:44:21.833 --> 00:44:24.705
- [Crowd] We must
support and love each other.

979
00:44:24.879 --> 00:44:27.316
- [Woman] We have
nothing to lose but our chains.

980
00:44:27.490 --> 00:44:30.189
- [Crowd] We have
nothing to lose but our chains.

981
00:44:30.363 --> 00:44:33.148
- [Woman] It is our
duty to fight for our freedom.

982
00:44:33.322 --> 00:44:36.021
- [Crowd] It is our
duty to fight for our freedom.

983
00:44:36.195 --> 00:44:38.937
- [Woman] We
are a state of mind.

984
00:44:39.111 --> 00:44:40.634
We are the future!

985
00:44:40.808 --> 00:44:43.245
[crowd cheers]

986
00:44:45.465 --> 00:44:47.162
- [Crowd] Fists up,
hearts open!

987
00:44:47.336 --> 00:44:51.297
Fists up, hearts open,
fists up, hearts open!

988
00:44:51.471 --> 00:44:54.039
Fists up,
hearts open, fists up!

989
00:44:54.213 --> 00:44:57.999
- [Crowd] No ban,
no wall, sanctuary for all!

990
00:44:58.173 --> 00:45:02.482
No ban,
no wall, we stand for all!

991
00:45:02.656 --> 00:45:06.268
No ban,
no wall, we stand for all!

992
00:45:06.442 --> 00:45:10.446
Say it loud, say it clear,
refugees are welcome here!

993
00:45:10.620 --> 00:45:14.363
Say it loud, say it clear,
Mexicans are welcome here!

994
00:45:14.537 --> 00:45:18.280
Say it loud, say it clear,
Mexicans are welcome here!

[crowd cheers]

997
00:45:41.521 --> 00:45:43.305
- What I
learned at Standing Rock

998
00:45:43.479 --> 00:45:47.657
is that when people are united,
not in anger, not in hatred,

999
00:45:47.832 --> 00:45:52.532
but with love, there is no
challenge we cannot overcome!

1000
00:45:52.706 --> 00:45:56.536
We do not need to
resist because we are standing.

1001
00:45:57.537 --> 00:45:59.757
Raise your hand
if you're standing.

1002
00:45:59.931 --> 00:46:01.410
Raise your hand
if you're standing.

1003
00:46:01.584 --> 00:46:06.589
[audience cheers]
[audience applauds]

1004
00:46:07.677 --> 00:46:09.505
- [Woman] There are
fighters in these streets.

00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:10.942
[crowd cheers]

1006
00:46:11.116 --> 00:46:13.509
There are
warriors in our households.

1007
00:46:13.683 --> 00:46:15.642
We are here to fight!

1008
00:46:15.816 --> 00:46:17.513
Donald Trump
doesn't give a damn

1009
00:46:17.687 --> 00:46:20.734
about whether or not you can
take your child to the doctor.

1010
00:46:20.908 --> 00:46:22.388
This is about money!

1011
00:46:22.562 --> 00:46:27.393
The $500 billion
that are supposed to be cut

1012
00:46:27.567 --> 00:46:29.917
out of the
spending for Obamacare

1013
00:46:30.091 --> 00:46:34.966
is $500 billion worth
of tax rebates that are going

1014
00:46:35.140 --> 00:46:38.317
back to the richest
corporations in this nation.

1015
00:46:38.491 --> 00:46:40.667
- Do you
believe that healthcare

1016
00:46:40.841 --> 00:46:43.191
is a
fundamental human right?

1017
00:46:43.365 --> 00:46:45.411
[crowd cheers]

1018
00:46:45.585 --> 00:46:48.588
Then we're here
today to save Obamacare,

1019
00:46:48.762 --> 00:46:50.677
and this is
just the beginning.

1020
00:46:50.851 --> 00:46:52.505
We're just
starting the fight.

1021
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:54.028
Today's the kickoff.

1022
00:46:54.202 --> 00:46:56.378
Get ready,
we're gonna go to work!

1023
00:46:56.552 --> 00:47:00.469
[crowd cheers]
[horn blares]

1024
00:47:00.643 --> 00:47:03.472
The fact that
thousands of people,

1025
00:47:03.646 --> 00:47:05.823
with very little notice,
came out into the streets

1026
00:47:05.997 --> 00:47:08.260
of Los
Angeles to demonstrate

1027
00:47:08.434 --> 00:47:10.044
in favor of the
Affordable Care Act

1028
00:47:10.218 --> 00:47:12.917
and against
Trumpcare is not insignificant,

1029
00:47:13.091 --> 00:47:15.354
and we're only
gonna build on that.

1030
00:47:15.528 --> 00:47:18.748
We are gonna continue to fight
for health as a human right.

1031
00:47:18.923 --> 00:47:21.664
I think since
Donald Trump's election,

1032
00:47:21.839 --> 00:47:24.798
there has been a
significant increase in fear

1033
00:47:24.972 --> 00:47:27.627
in the communities that
we serve in South Los Angeles.

1034
00:47:27.801 --> 00:47:29.759
St. John's Well
Child and Family Center

1035
00:47:29.934 --> 00:47:32.632
is the largest
provider of healthcare services

1036
00:47:32.806 --> 00:47:35.461
to undocumented
immigrants in the United States,

1037
00:47:35.635 --> 00:47:38.159
so obviously
we feel like we're

1038
00:47:38.333 --> 00:47:41.380
at the epicenter
of all the anxiety

1039
00:47:41.554 --> 00:47:44.296
that's been created as
a result of the election.

1040
00:47:45.471 --> 00:47:48.343
Many of our patients
are becoming depressed.

1041
00:47:48.517 --> 00:47:50.084
They're worried.

1042
00:47:50.258 --> 00:47:51.303
Many, many people are
afraid that they're gonna be

1043
00:47:51.477 --> 00:47:53.131
separated
from their families.

1044
00:47:53.305 --> 00:47:55.611
So we've been providing
a lot of behavior health

1045
00:47:55.785 --> 00:47:58.005
and mental health
counseling to our patients

1046
00:47:58.179 --> 00:48:01.704
as well as just general
education for them to know

1047
00:48:01.879 --> 00:48:05.099
their rights, so that we
can reduce that anxiety level.

1048
00:48:05.273 --> 00:48:08.102
We're not asking for
Trump voters to send us money.

1049
00:48:08.276 --> 00:48:09.930
There are plenty
of other folks who make

1050
00:48:10.104 --> 00:48:12.715
contributions to
St. John's as a charity

1051
00:48:12.890 --> 00:48:15.196
and support
providing healthcare to the poor

1052
00:48:15.370 --> 00:48:17.895
and to the undocumented
and to the immigrant.

1053
00:48:18.069 --> 00:48:19.853
We're gonna have to
keep building the resistance

1054
00:48:20.027 --> 00:48:21.768
to taking away
people's healthcare

1055
00:48:21.942 --> 00:48:24.684
and continue to
build a constituency

1056
00:48:24.858 --> 00:48:27.078
so that people
understand that healthcare is

1057
00:48:27.252 --> 00:48:29.471
an important right and
that people will fight for it.

1058
00:48:29.645 --> 00:48:31.560
[bus rumbles]
[brakes squeaking]

1059
00:48:31.734 --> 00:48:34.694
[electronic beeps]

1060
00:48:59.588 --> 00:49:03.244
- One of the things that began
to come out of the rhetoric

1061
00:49:03.418 --> 00:49:05.681
during the campaign
were some of the young people

1062
00:49:05.855 --> 00:49:08.510
were going to school
and they asked the teachers

1063
00:49:08.684 --> 00:49:12.166
the question, "Does that
mean I got to leave my home?"

1064
00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:16.257
And even some of the kids, what
they heard around the table,

1065
00:49:16.431 --> 00:49:19.478
they would come to school
and they would talk about it.

1066
00:49:19.652 --> 00:49:22.437
We have to
educate our children.

1067
00:49:23.873 --> 00:49:26.224
We got to let
them know there are

1068
00:49:26.398 --> 00:49:30.054
hateful words
that people use

1069
00:49:30.228 --> 00:49:32.708
and they don't even
understand the meaning of 'em.

1070
00:49:33.579 --> 00:49:38.453
They repeat them because
their parents spoke them.

1071
00:49:40.064 --> 00:49:46.113
Parents must become held
accountable for what they say.

1072
00:49:46.287 --> 00:49:50.248
We got to stop allowing
hatred to be resuscitated.

1073
00:49:50.422 --> 00:49:53.077
We gotta
continue to speak peace,

1074
00:49:53.251 --> 00:49:55.166
and so it is
about participation,

1075
00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:58.256
collaboration,
and having that conversation

1076
00:49:58.430 --> 00:50:02.477
and become engaged in
the politics around you.

1077
00:50:02.651 --> 00:50:07.613
[vehicles rumbling]
[contemplative synth music]

1078
00:50:09.354 --> 00:50:12.313
- I think I speak on
behalf of a lot of caring

1079
00:50:12.487 --> 00:50:14.707
and thinking people in North
Carolina and around the country

1080
00:50:14.881 --> 00:50:18.928
when we say we're very
fearful of a Trump presidency.

1081
00:50:20.713 --> 00:50:23.150
I'm not embarrassed to
say that I cried my eyes out

1082
00:50:23.324 --> 00:50:25.283
at three o'clock in the morning
after the election result.

1083
00:50:25.457 --> 00:50:27.198
So though I work for a
nonpartisan organization,

1084
00:50:27.372 --> 00:50:29.461
we don't endorse candidates,
I have

1085
00:50:29.635 --> 00:50:33.465
very strong feelings personally
about our country's future

1086
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:37.338
and deep-seated fears about
what a Trump presidency means.

1087
00:50:37.512 --> 00:50:39.949
It's a remarkable
position for a politician

1088
00:50:40.124 --> 00:50:43.170
to find him or herself in,
and frightening,

1089
00:50:43.344 --> 00:50:45.129
I suppose, in some
respects for the rest of us

1090
00:50:45.303 --> 00:50:50.830
that people are so seemingly
intensely loyal to this man

1091
00:50:51.004 --> 00:50:53.920
that they're willing to
cheer him when he says one thing

1092
00:50:54.094 --> 00:50:57.445
and then when he says the
opposite, to cheer him as well.

1093
00:50:57.619 --> 00:50:59.317
But I don't think it
should surprise any of us.

1094
00:50:59.491 --> 00:51:04.583
The man has been a
charlatan and a salesman

1095
00:51:04.757 --> 00:51:09.370
his whole life, and has
made it sort of a faith for him

1096
00:51:09.544 --> 00:51:13.026
that he says whatever it
takes to get whatever he wants.

1097
00:51:13.200 --> 00:51:14.201
When you're
talking about the KKK

1098
00:51:14.375 --> 00:51:16.377
and other
racist hate groups,

1099
00:51:16.551 --> 00:51:19.728
North Carolina has a long,
troubled history.

1100
00:51:19.902 --> 00:51:22.644
It's depressing and of
concern that groups like that

1101
00:51:22.818 --> 00:51:24.994
would feel at all empowered,
but the rise of Donald Trump

1102
00:51:25.169 --> 00:51:26.822
has given at least
some of those people

1103
00:51:26.996 --> 00:51:29.390
a feeling that they
are now free to come forth

1104
00:51:29.564 --> 00:51:33.307
and spew vitriol and
hate towards other people.

1105
00:51:33.481 --> 00:51:35.570
- Virginia's governor
declared a state of emergency

1106
00:51:35.744 --> 00:51:37.746
in Charlottesville
today as white nationalists

1107
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:41.098
clashed in the streets
with counter-protesters.

1108
00:51:41.272 --> 00:51:43.926
Groups, including the
Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis,

1109
00:51:44.101 --> 00:51:46.364
came from across
the country to rally

1110
00:51:46.538 --> 00:51:50.063
against plans to remove a
Confederate statue from a park.

1111
00:51:50.237 --> 00:51:52.239
The violence
included an apparent attack

1112
00:51:52.413 --> 00:51:55.503
with a car on a crowd
of peaceful protesters.

1113
00:51:55.677 --> 00:51:57.592
At least one
person was killed.

1114
00:51:57.766 --> 00:51:59.681
This all took
place a short distance

1115
00:51:59.855 --> 00:52:01.161
from the
University of Virginia.

1116
00:52:01.335 --> 00:52:03.250
- Incidents
today were predated

1117
00:52:03.424 --> 00:52:05.818
by three other
major rallies there.

1118
00:52:05.992 --> 00:52:07.646
Last night, torch-wielding
white supremacists

1119
00:52:07.820 --> 00:52:09.952
marched through the
University of Virginia campus.

1120
00:52:10.127 --> 00:52:14.043
In July, 50 members of a
North-Carolina-based KKK group

1121
00:52:14.218 --> 00:52:16.133
traveled to
Charlottesville for a rally,

1122
00:52:16.307 --> 00:52:19.005
where they were met by
hundreds of counter-protesters.

1123
00:52:19.179 --> 00:52:21.094
And in May,
prominent white nationalist

1124
00:52:21.268 --> 00:52:23.444
Richard Spencer
protested there as well.

1125
00:52:23.618 --> 00:52:26.795
- We condemn in the
strongest possible terms

1126
00:52:27.927 --> 00:52:31.496
this egregious
display of hatred, bigotry,

1127
00:52:31.670 --> 00:52:34.368
and violence on many sides,
on many sides.

1128
00:52:34.542 --> 00:52:36.849
- [Woman] Are you putting
what you're calling the alt-left

1129
00:52:37.023 --> 00:52:39.982
and white supremacists
on the same moral plane?

1130
00:52:40.157 --> 00:52:41.854
- I'm not putting
anybody on a moral plane.

1131
00:52:42.028 --> 00:52:44.683
What I'm saying is this,
you had a group on one side

1132
00:52:44.857 --> 00:52:46.075
and you had a
group on the other,

1133
00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:47.903
and they came at
each other with clubs

1134
00:52:48.077 --> 00:52:50.384
and it was vicious and
it was horrible and it was

1135
00:52:50.558 --> 00:52:53.735
a horrible thing to watch,
but there is another side.

1136
00:52:53.909 --> 00:52:56.782
There was a group on this side,
you can call them the left,

1137
00:52:56.956 --> 00:52:58.523
you've just
called them the left,

1138
00:52:58.697 --> 00:53:01.787
that came violently
attacking the other group.

1139
00:53:01.961 --> 00:53:05.182
So you can say what you want,
but that's the way it is.

1140
00:53:05.356 --> 00:53:07.271
- In some respects,
when you talk about hate groups

1141
00:53:07.445 --> 00:53:09.882
like the Klan and
other racist outfits,

1142
00:53:10.056 --> 00:53:11.840
they've always sort of
been there under the surface,

1143
00:53:12.014 --> 00:53:14.452
so an optimist might say,
well, at least Trump

1144
00:53:14.626 --> 00:53:17.672
has helped force them out
into the open so they're there.

1145
00:53:17.846 --> 00:53:19.152
We're gonna combat them.

1146
00:53:19.326 --> 00:53:20.980
We're gonna not
pretend they don't exist.

1147
00:53:21.154 --> 00:53:23.983
We're gonna have
to engage and explain

1148
00:53:24.157 --> 00:53:29.162
and expose these people as
being wrongheaded and ignorant.

1149
00:53:29.815 --> 00:53:32.731
And I suppose that's
my hope that will happen,

1150
00:53:32.905 --> 00:53:35.037
that by forcing
them out into the open,

1151
00:53:35.212 --> 00:53:38.432
we'll be able to
shine a light on this cancer

1152
00:53:38.606 --> 00:53:41.348
and see that it
ultimately dies off.

1153
00:53:41.522 --> 00:53:46.353
But it's gonna take a while,
so these are challenging times.

1154
00:53:46.527 --> 00:53:47.963
[dramatic synth music]

1155
00:53:48.137 --> 00:53:51.010
- [Crowd] No Trump,
no KKK, no fascist USA!

1156
00:53:51.184 --> 00:53:55.014
No Trump,
no KKK, no fascist USA!

1157
00:53:55.188 --> 00:53:58.626
No Trump,
no KKK, no fascist USA!

No Trump, no KKK!
[explosion booms]

1159
00:54:00.802 --> 00:54:02.151
No fascist USA!

[people shouting]
No Trump!

1161
00:54:06.373 --> 00:54:09.028
[explosion booms]

1162
00:54:09.202 --> 00:54:12.640
- People are experiencing
a big wake-up moment right now,

1163
00:54:12.814 --> 00:54:15.469
and we see millions of
people out in the streets

1164
00:54:15.643 --> 00:54:17.776
like we haven't
seen in generations.

1165
00:54:17.950 --> 00:54:20.126
I think people feel
like they have been thrown

1166
00:54:20.300 --> 00:54:22.694
under the bus,
and this is when people become

1167
00:54:22.868 --> 00:54:26.306
very susceptible to
demagogues and to fascism.

1168
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:29.570
This is how
fascism has always risen,

1169
00:54:29.744 --> 00:54:33.008
when people are
very economically stressed

1170
00:54:33.182 --> 00:54:35.576
and they've lost faith
in our social institutions

1171
00:54:35.750 --> 00:54:37.186
and our
institutions of government.

1172
00:54:37.361 --> 00:54:40.494
Then you get big
manipulators like Donald Trump,

1173
00:54:40.668 --> 00:54:43.018
who can connect
with people emotionally,

1174
00:54:43.192 --> 00:54:46.457
so in many ways, it is
the policies of the Democrats

1175
00:54:46.631 --> 00:54:50.287
that have actually given rise
to this right-wing extremism

1176
00:54:50.461 --> 00:54:52.289
that we see now
under Donald Trump.

1177
00:54:52.463 --> 00:54:55.509
[people shouting]

1178
00:54:56.902 --> 00:54:59.557

it's not okay to fight!

Call the cops!

[explosion booms]

1184

[siren wails]

1185
00:55:14.615 --> 00:55:16.356
[people shouting]

1186
00:55:16.530 --> 00:55:19.185
- I need to wipe it,
I need to wipe it!

1187
00:55:19.359 --> 00:55:22.231
[explosion booms]

1188
00:55:24.451 --> 00:55:27.367
[people chattering]

1189
00:55:32.764 --> 00:55:35.723
- I was trying to save
somebody who was being attacked

1190
00:55:35.897 --> 00:55:38.291
by the Trump
people and on the ground,

1191
00:55:38.465 --> 00:55:42.991
and as I ran towards it,
I hit a cloud of pepper spray.

1192
00:55:43.165 --> 00:55:44.906
And some
comrades dragged me away,

1193
00:55:45.080 --> 00:55:47.213
gave me first aid,
and now here I am.

1194
00:55:47.387 --> 00:55:48.780
- They're
throwing bombs at us.

1195
00:55:48.954 --> 00:55:50.738
They're throwing
glass candles at us.

1196
00:55:50.912 --> 00:55:53.306
- [Man] Right,
they're throwing bombs at us.

1197
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:55.656
- They were grabbing
some of our guys, the scuffle--

1198
00:55:55.830 --> 00:55:56.744
[explosion booms]

1199
00:55:56.918 --> 00:55:58.572
Fuck!

1200
00:55:58.746 --> 00:56:02.097
- I came today prepared
for violence from either side.

1201
00:56:02.271 --> 00:56:04.796
I came with medical bandages,
gauze,

1202
00:56:04.970 --> 00:56:06.798
milk to
neutralize pepper spray.

1203
00:56:06.972 --> 00:56:11.759
I've bandaged both Antifa
and Liberty Patriots today.

1204
00:56:11.933 --> 00:56:13.544
- You're allowing
the violence to escalate.

1205
00:56:13.718 --> 00:56:15.763
It's on you guys
for not doing anything

1206
00:56:15.937 --> 00:56:18.113
except sitting
here like cowards.

1207
00:56:18.287 --> 00:56:20.551
[helicopter whirs]

1208
00:56:20.725 --> 00:56:22.335
[siren chirps]

1209
00:56:22.509 --> 00:56:25.860
[sirens wailing]

1210
00:56:26.034 --> 00:56:28.036
- We're the Empathy Tent.

1211
00:56:28.210 --> 00:56:30.474
We offer empathic
listening to people.

1212
00:56:31.518 --> 00:56:33.215
We're trying to get
people to have dialogue,

1213
00:56:33.390 --> 00:56:36.871
first to listen to them,
then to bring them into dialogue

1214
00:56:37.045 --> 00:56:38.830
because, really,
the only way forward

1215
00:56:39.004 --> 00:56:42.094
is listening,
empathy, and dialogue.

1216
00:56:42.268 --> 00:56:43.791
And then,
like we say here, it's the basis

1217
00:56:43.965 --> 00:56:46.533
for people getting
together and really addressing

1218
00:56:46.707 --> 00:56:49.101
what their needs are
and really solving problems.

1219
00:56:49.275 --> 00:56:51.669
All the people screaming
and yelling at each other,

1220
00:56:51.843 --> 00:56:54.106
they're actually saying,
"Listen to me, listen to me!"

1221
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:55.890
And the other side's saying,
"No, listen to me!

1222
00:56:56.064 --> 00:56:57.501
"I wanna be heard!"

1223
00:56:57.675 --> 00:56:59.067
So they're both
really asking for listening,

1224
00:56:59.241 --> 00:57:01.940
so there's a deep down,
just biological need

1225
00:57:02.114 --> 00:57:04.638
that we all have
to be heard and seen,

1226
00:57:04.812 --> 00:57:08.033
and so we're trying to kind
of address that for everyone,

1227
00:57:08.207 --> 00:57:10.949
and also give people the
tools of how they can listen

1228
00:57:11.123 --> 00:57:13.952
to each other because
if you just start dialoguing,

1229
00:57:14.126 --> 00:57:15.823
sometimes
that can break down.

1230
00:57:15.997 --> 00:57:19.218
But if you have some rules,
some processes, some tools,

1231
00:57:19.392 --> 00:57:22.700
a facilitator,
it can kinda help that process.

1232
00:57:22.874 --> 00:57:25.485
People can then learn it,
they internalize it,

1233
00:57:25.659 --> 00:57:27.139
and then they can
become better listeners

1234
00:57:27.313 --> 00:57:30.490
in their families,
in their communities, so we feel

1235
00:57:30.664 --> 00:57:33.885
that there needs to be a
voice out to stand for that.

1236
00:57:34.059 --> 00:57:37.149
[people shouting]

1237
00:57:41.196 --> 00:57:42.850
- [Man] Do we
need to disperse?

1238
00:57:43.024 --> 00:57:46.027
[people chattering]

1239
00:57:51.946 --> 00:57:55.646
[contemplative synth music]

1240
00:57:56.560 --> 00:57:59.519
[electronic beeps]

1241
00:58:00.651 --> 00:58:03.218
[vehicles rumbling]

1242
00:58:03.392 --> 00:58:05.177
- [Man] Build the wall!

1243
00:58:05.351 --> 00:58:09.181
- [Crowd] No Trump,
no KKK, no fascist USA!

1244
00:58:09.355 --> 00:58:11.313
[people chattering]

1245
00:58:11.488 --> 00:58:13.751
- [Man] Go back to Europe!

1246
00:58:13.925 --> 00:58:15.492
- We see
division and conflict

1247
00:58:15.666 --> 00:58:17.058
everywhere
around the country,

1248
00:58:17.232 --> 00:58:20.366
between the Trump side
and the progressive side,

1249
00:58:20.540 --> 00:58:23.108
so after what we saw
and experienced in Berkeley,

1250
00:58:23.282 --> 00:58:26.154
we decided we needed
to take the Empathy Tent

1251
00:58:26.328 --> 00:58:29.593
to as many political
confrontations as possible.

1252
00:58:29.767 --> 00:58:31.508
So the next
big event we went to

1253
00:58:31.682 --> 00:58:34.380
was the Impeachment
March in Los Angeles.

1254
00:58:34.554 --> 00:58:37.514
[people shouting]

1255
00:58:38.732 --> 00:58:40.604
[people chattering]

1256
00:58:40.778 --> 00:58:43.781
We went and actually
set up an Empathy Tent

1257
00:58:43.955 --> 00:58:47.132
at this rally to
offer listening to two sides

1258
00:58:47.306 --> 00:58:49.569
that were there
and have them dialogue

1259
00:58:49.743 --> 00:58:51.310
with each
other and really share

1260
00:58:51.484 --> 00:58:54.705
how they were feeling
about the impeachment issue

1261
00:58:54.879 --> 00:58:57.403
as well as some
other issues as well.

1262
00:58:57.577 --> 00:59:01.581
So I was really taken
that people were really grateful

1263
00:59:01.755 --> 00:59:04.715
to have this
opportunity to dialogue.

1264
00:59:04.889 --> 00:59:06.586
- We need more
dialogue right now

1265
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:09.197
'cause we're, in some ways,
on the edge of a civil war.

1266
00:59:09.371 --> 00:59:10.808
It could
escalate very easily.

1267
00:59:10.982 --> 00:59:12.200
Somebody could get injured

1268
00:59:12.374 --> 00:59:14.202
and they becomes
martyr to either side.

1269
00:59:14.376 --> 00:59:16.030
I feel what
you're doing here today

1270
00:59:16.204 --> 00:59:18.206
and what we all can do,
what you're doing speaking

1271
00:59:18.380 --> 00:59:20.252
to the other side,
I think that's wonderful.

1272
00:59:20.426 --> 00:59:21.819
There's
definitely a need for that.

1273
00:59:21.993 --> 00:59:23.690
- Would you like to
share what you heard?

1274
00:59:23.864 --> 00:59:26.737
- Again, I wish we had
more opportunities to speak,

1275
00:59:26.911 --> 00:59:28.826
and the young man
I was speaking to said

1276
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:30.697
that the police
wouldn't let them

1277
00:59:30.871 --> 00:59:33.352
cross the street to come to us,
approach us,

1278
00:59:33.526 --> 00:59:34.919
and I was like,
oh, well, that's sad.

1279
00:59:35.093 --> 00:59:36.660
I can
understand during the march,

1280
00:59:36.834 --> 00:59:38.792
but once we're at the location,
you should be able

1281
00:59:38.966 --> 00:59:41.795
to come over and
kinda dialogue and talk

1282
00:59:41.969 --> 00:59:46.974
because emotions without
thought are dangerous, you know?

1283
00:59:47.801 --> 00:59:50.369
- I guess my greatest fear
is that there's a large division

1284
00:59:50.543 --> 00:59:53.024
within the nation of
fundamental differences

1285
00:59:53.198 --> 00:59:57.898
that people are
really not likely to agree on.

1286
00:59:58.072 --> 01:00:00.597
It's tough because
I have family members

1287
01:00:00.771 --> 01:00:02.337
that disagree with me.

1288
01:00:02.511 --> 01:00:04.775
And this country is
founded on certain principles,

1289
01:00:04.949 --> 01:00:08.256
and a portion of that population
believes it in one way

1290
01:00:08.430 --> 01:00:11.085
and another portion
believes it in another way.

1291
01:00:12.347 --> 01:00:14.872
Those sides don't look
like they're getting along,

1292
01:00:15.046 --> 01:00:16.743
and it's just
come to a boiling point,

1293
01:00:16.917 --> 01:00:19.224
and I think this has
been going on for a long time.

1294
01:00:19.398 --> 01:00:21.443
It's just the
Trump presidency

1295
01:00:21.618 --> 01:00:23.881
has just been
the catalyst for it.

1296
01:00:24.055 --> 01:00:26.623
- Yeah, I definitely agree
with him on also the division--

1297
01:00:26.797 --> 01:00:28.494
- [Alex] Oh,
the division?

1298
01:00:28.668 --> 01:00:30.714
You're also concerned about
the division in the country?

1299
01:00:30.888 --> 01:00:33.542
- It seems like our
only way of dealing with things

1300
01:00:33.717 --> 01:00:35.327
is finger-pointing
and just saying

1301
01:00:35.501 --> 01:00:37.285
that this
specific group of people

1302
01:00:37.459 --> 01:00:39.810
are problems,
and it's on both sides.

1303
01:00:39.984 --> 01:00:42.769
And it's not
getting anywhere.

1304
01:00:42.943 --> 01:00:45.642
- I agree with
plenty of liberal ideas,

1305
01:00:45.816 --> 01:00:48.688
but there are plenty
of more conservative ideas

1306
01:00:48.862 --> 01:00:52.213
that I find more reasonable
and I find more attractive.

1307
01:00:52.387 --> 01:00:56.043
For instance, if I say
I'm very pro Second Amendment,

1308
01:00:56.217 --> 01:00:57.958
then somebody will go,
oh, so then you're

1309
01:00:58.132 --> 01:01:01.179
like a right-wing gun nut,
and I'm like, well, hold up, no.

1310
01:01:01.353 --> 01:01:04.878
I'm very much in favor
of having more open borders,

1311
01:01:05.052 --> 01:01:06.924
of people being able
to come into this country

1312
01:01:07.098 --> 01:01:08.621
and work,
legally, obviously.

1313
01:01:08.795 --> 01:01:09.883
So they go, oh,
well, then you're

1314
01:01:10.057 --> 01:01:11.102
like some
kind of libertarian,

1315
01:01:11.276 --> 01:01:12.712
so you're
never just a person.

1316
01:01:12.886 --> 01:01:14.279
- People aren't
seeing you for who you are,

1317
01:01:14.453 --> 01:01:16.150
and that's like a concern,
to be seen.

1318
01:01:16.324 --> 01:01:17.630
So, okay
- Yeah.

1319
01:01:17.804 --> 01:01:19.023
That's a really
good point you're making.

1320
01:01:19.197 --> 01:01:20.459
This is what I don't like.

1321
01:01:20.633 --> 01:01:21.852
What's wrong with
being a conservative?

1322
01:01:22.026 --> 01:01:24.202
What's wrong with
being a right-wing?

1323
01:01:24.376 --> 01:01:25.899
What is wrong with that?

1324
01:01:26.073 --> 01:01:30.687
But it's okay for people
to be accepted as being liberal,

1325
01:01:30.861 --> 01:01:33.037
as being a Democrat,
as being left.

1326
01:01:33.211 --> 01:01:34.778
See,
this is what I think.

1327
01:01:34.952 --> 01:01:36.388
See, I could tell in your
body language and your voice

1328
01:01:36.562 --> 01:01:38.129
that you had
to defend yourself.

1329
01:01:38.303 --> 01:01:39.783
Oh, no, no, I'm not right,
and see, that is wrong.

1330
01:01:39.957 --> 01:01:41.393
And so what
if you are right?

1331
01:01:41.567 --> 01:01:42.263
Who cares?

1332
01:01:42.437 --> 01:01:43.438
You know what?

1333
01:01:43.612 --> 01:01:45.092
At the end,
who cares?

1334
01:01:45.266 --> 01:01:49.357
- I hope that we,
as a society and as a movement,

1335
01:01:49.531 --> 01:01:51.490
we can still
keep speaking out

1336
01:01:51.664 --> 01:01:54.623
against the things he's
doing against our communities

1337
01:01:54.798 --> 01:01:56.495
and the people that are
getting hurt from his actions,

1338
01:01:56.669 --> 01:02:00.455
from the things he's saying,
and from the people motivated

1339
01:02:00.629 --> 01:02:02.762
by his agenda
and by his rhetoric.

1340
01:02:02.936 --> 01:02:04.024
- So are you
saying there's really

1341
01:02:04.198 --> 01:02:05.809
deeper
problems besides Trump?

1342
01:02:05.983 --> 01:02:08.246
There's like real
deeper issues and problems

1343
01:02:08.420 --> 01:02:10.117
that need to be addressed.
- Exactly.

1344
01:02:10.291 --> 01:02:13.730
- Much of my
impression of our opposition,

1345
01:02:13.904 --> 01:02:16.820
or however we would call it,
has been YouTube videos

1346
01:02:16.994 --> 01:02:19.692
of people throwing,
yelling out propaganda,

1347
01:02:19.866 --> 01:02:21.607
one-liners,
and stuff like that.

1348
01:02:21.781 --> 01:02:25.132
It's not often that I've seen
someone speak out to a length

1349
01:02:25.306 --> 01:02:27.178
like he just did,
so that was pretty good.

1350
01:02:27.352 --> 01:02:29.528
- I think my fundamental
concern with right now,

1351
01:02:29.702 --> 01:02:32.618
with the state of the
country with where it is,

1352
01:02:34.011 --> 01:02:37.666
is that there isn't this
type of dialogue happening,

1353
01:02:37.841 --> 01:02:41.366
is that we are
entering into a society

1354
01:02:41.540 --> 01:02:45.500
where people are
afraid to speak out.

1355
01:02:45.674 --> 01:02:50.723
I think that if people
are siloed, and people only talk

1356
01:02:50.897 --> 01:02:54.727
to people whom they agree
with and whom they already have

1357
01:02:54.901 --> 01:02:56.903
that same sort of
thought process with,

1358
01:02:57.077 --> 01:02:59.253
then we'll
never have improvement

1359
01:02:59.427 --> 01:03:03.431
to make this country
what it really could be.

1360
01:03:03.605 --> 01:03:06.086
- I think what concerns
me the most about our country

1361
01:03:06.260 --> 01:03:11.004
is that I feel
that a large portion

1362
01:03:11.178 --> 01:03:15.313
of the population is making
their decisions based on fear,

1363
01:03:17.054 --> 01:03:20.927
and I feel that that's
motivating people's politics,

1364
01:03:21.101 --> 01:03:25.410
and I don't think it's
the strongest, healthiest,

1365
01:03:25.584 --> 01:03:29.849
or most peace-conducive
place to come from.

1366
01:03:30.023 --> 01:03:32.417
- At this point,
to kinda end the conversation,

1367
01:03:32.591 --> 01:03:34.201
how was the
empathic listening,

1368
01:03:34.375 --> 01:03:36.900
having the person
listen to you before you spoke?

1369
01:03:37.074 --> 01:03:39.380
Did that feel
satisfactory at all?

1370
01:03:39.554 --> 01:03:42.906
Was that helpful in terms
of feeling like you were heard?

1371
01:03:43.080 --> 01:03:46.126
- Yeah, I feel that
Spencer is a good listener,

1372
01:03:46.300 --> 01:03:49.956
even though we totally
have different views on this.

1373
01:03:50.130 --> 01:03:54.178
I'm pretty sure we'll never
see eye to eye on this stuff,

1374
01:03:54.352 --> 01:03:58.530
but I still got to
appreciate his ability

1375
01:03:58.704 --> 01:04:02.403
and willingness
to sit and listen

1376
01:04:02.577 --> 01:04:04.841
to me and let
me listen to him.

1377
01:04:05.015 --> 01:04:06.799
[reflective synth music]

1378
01:04:06.973 --> 01:04:10.063
- It was something I found,
when we set up at Berkeley too,

1379
01:04:10.237 --> 01:04:13.327
is going out and offering
to do not just listening

1380
01:04:13.501 --> 01:04:15.895
but feeling that warmth,

1381
01:04:16.069 --> 01:04:19.725
that human connection,
really calms people down.

1382
01:04:19.899 --> 01:04:22.597
And I hear a lot,
people say, empathy is

1383
01:04:22.771 --> 01:04:25.513
for your personal relationships,
your family, your friend,

1384
01:04:25.687 --> 01:04:29.474
but politics is really
about greed and selfishness,

1385
01:04:29.648 --> 01:04:32.694
and it doesn't really fit
in there, so don't even bother.

1386
01:04:32.869 --> 01:04:35.784
But I think the functioning
part of the democracy

1387
01:04:35.959 --> 01:04:38.613
that's working right
now is the empathic part.

1388
01:04:38.787 --> 01:04:41.878
People do talk to each other,
or it starts with empathy

1389
01:04:42.052 --> 01:04:45.055
as the gateway,
and then once you understand

1390
01:04:45.229 --> 01:04:47.927
the needs that people have,
the pain that they have,

1391
01:04:48.101 --> 01:04:53.280
the alienation, then you
can start using logic and reason

1392
01:04:53.454 --> 01:04:56.066
and find connection,
and from that connection,

1393
01:04:56.240 --> 01:04:59.896
they find
solutions to their problems.

1394
01:05:00.070 --> 01:05:03.943
Johan Galtung, he says
peace is resolving conflict

1395
01:05:04.117 --> 01:05:07.294
with empathy,
creativity, and nonviolence,

1396
01:05:07.468 --> 01:05:09.340
and it's a
never-ending task.

1397
01:05:09.514 --> 01:05:10.950
It's like it never ends.

1398
01:05:11.124 --> 01:05:13.213
It's like we're
always having to do it,

1399
01:05:13.387 --> 01:05:15.259
so it's not
like we're gonna solve

1400
01:05:15.433 --> 01:05:18.262
the problem
of this division.

1401
01:05:18.436 --> 01:05:22.614
It's an ongoing problem-solving
that we need to do.

1402
01:05:24.442 --> 01:05:27.967
- [Narrator] In 2016,
more than 250 million people

1403
01:05:28.141 --> 01:05:31.928
were eligible to vote,
and only 55% voted.

1404
01:05:32.102 --> 01:05:34.452
Democracy will die
without participation

1405
01:05:34.626 --> 01:05:36.280
and an open dialogue.

1406
01:05:36.454 --> 01:05:39.587
Join the conversation
now before it's too late.
