00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,240
This is America Day.
Beware the beast man.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,880
Alone among God's primates, he
kills for sport.

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,680
Who's next?
Yay, he will murder his brother

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,880
to possess his brother's land.
They can not breed in great

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,320
numbers, for he will make a
desert of his home and yours.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,640
Oh.
My God.

7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,160
Shun him, driving back into his
jungle lair.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,280
Oh, he is the harbinger of
death.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,360
OK, so here's the situation.
I'm doing these 30 minute walks

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,480
every day because as I
mentioned, I'm at that point

11
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,800
where I need, I want to add more
time to my life.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,000
And one of the best ways to do
that is to do a 30 minute walk

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,320
every day.
And in doing so, you add about

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,480
an hour of of life every month.
So why don't you join me in this

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,360
exercise and you can listen to
my podcast every day as I give

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,920
you a Watkins wrap of events.
So let's talk about Minneapolis.

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,960
Nicole Wood, for all intents and
purposes, Wrong place, Bad

18
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,360
timing Report says, according to
the New York Post, that she

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000
lived a pretty quiet life.
She wasn't known for her

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,720
activism.
She had a couple kids from a

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,120
previous marriage.
It gives the appearance that she

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,320
shacked up with her female
partner.

23
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,760
So I'm going to make the
assumption that she's either bi

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,280
or or gay or, and not that that
has anything to do with it

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,560
except for the fact that she
made the decision to move to

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,120
Minneapolis because she wanted
to show her colors, which she

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,640
posted on one of her social
media accounts.

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,520
So she might be attracted to
somebody who is an activist, her

29
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,120
partner.
So she says the the partner says

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,040
that she's her fault.
She called Nicole and said, hey,

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,720
come on down, there's an ice
raid, come stand with me.

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,320
So Nicole gets in her car.
She drives down and all of a

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,720
sudden she's surrounded by ICE
agents and she's like, well, I

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,960
got to get the hell out of here.
I don't want to get involved

35
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,040
with this.
So she turns around and then

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440
suddenly she's got a an ICE
agent standing at her car door

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640
and another one standing in
front of her, front light of the

38
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,720
car, the front part of the car.
So she said, I want, I want to

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,160
get out of here.
So in her attempt to leave, she

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160
nudges the one officer standing
near the headlight.

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
He pulls a trigger and
immediately shoots her in the

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,480
head.
She drives off and a foot on the

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,480
gas and crashes into a nearby
car.

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,360
The video coverage of this is
tepidly weak.

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,160
Doesn't really give any
conclusive.

46
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Well, I think what I just told
you is probably as accurate as

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
anything else.
So again, Nicole, through no

48
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,440
fault of her own, probably in
the wrong place at the wrong

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,240
time.
But it's good for Democrats and

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,280
people who are anti ICE because
they can use this and they will

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,600
trust me, they'll use it as a
way of gaining support against

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
ICE and immigration and our
immigration laws.

53
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,560
And they'll use it with a
ferocity that they did with

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,000
George Floyd and Michael Brown.
And, and, and it's a tragedy

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
because number one, you know,
these police officers, these law

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,360
enforcement agents, especially
the younger ones, they're just

57
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,640
so trigger happy.
They're their first go to is not

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,600
aiming at the tire, but aiming
at the head.

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,760
And that comes from a lack of
experience.

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,800
You know, there's no way that
this woman could have been

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,280
perceived as having any real
threat.

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,600
And if I was an ICE agent, I
certainly wouldn't be standing

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600
in the front of the vehicle with
the driver behind the wheel,

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,320
especially when you've got a
fellow officer who's standing

65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,640
right next to her pointing a gun
at her head.

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,320
You just you can see that these
these officers, if they probably

67
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,120
didn't handle the situation and
try to de escalate.

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,960
And we see this time and time
again.

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,480
And the left uses this as a way
of basically demonizing law

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
enforcement.
And then the same people that

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160
are going to use this for
political folly are also the

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080
same people that don't like
Maduro.

73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,560
They think that he should go or
that they don't like Trump

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,360
arresting Maduro and trying to
gain some influence in the

75
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,839
Western Hemisphere.
So once again, I had to turn off

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,320
the news today because I don't
want to hear it.

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,360
I don't want to hear all this.
This isn't this doesn't bode

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,480
well for the country right now.
There's a lot of good things

79
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,160
going on in the country.
We've got prices down, gas down

80
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,800
to it's like $0.30 from last
year, 273 I think is the

81
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,520
average.
A lot of people moving out of

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,000
California.
More people move out of

83
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
California than any other state
right now.

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Can you blame them?
It's interesting.

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,000
I was watching ABC News, they
were doing their one year

86
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,080
anniversary since the the fire
at the Palisades, Pacific

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,040
Palisades.
Throughout the whole cast, not

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,840
once did he criticize either
Gavin or Gavin Newsom or Karen

89
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,320
Bass.
Not one time did he give any

90
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520
kind of direct criticism to the
California bureaucracy that has

91
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,080
made it impossible for people to
get on with their lives in in

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Pacific Palisades.
And I find that's telling

93
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,280
because they'll go on and
they'll talk to the people

94
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,840
living in their RV's about how
sad it is that it's taking so

95
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,240
long to get their lives back
together, get their homes,

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,040
rebuild, but no mention of the
people who are preventing the

97
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
residents of the Pacific
Palisades from getting their

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760
life back together.
California is a piss hole.

99
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,240
It's, it's a, it's the, it is
the finest example we have of

100
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760
political tyranny and what
socialism does.

101
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800
And now we've got this mom
Donnie guy.

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Oh, he'll be fun to watch.
I don't know this idea of

103
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,840
collectivism.
How many more millions of lies

104
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:49,080
is it going to take for lazy ass
people to realize that they do

105
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,960
not want socialism?
It works in the family as one

106
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,400
comedian said, but you can't use
it at scale.

107
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,640
Socialism doesn't work at scale.
So final thought on Epstein,

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,840
man, have you ever known anybody
take so many selfies in your

109
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:07,760
life?
There must be a million photos

110
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
of that guy.
Now, you think if you were doing

111
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,840
something illegal by trafficking
young kids, young girls, boys,

112
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,320
who knows, on an island and the
Caribbean, you think you would

113
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,120
be a little bit more subtle and
you wouldn't be out there taking

114
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,080
selfies of yourself unless of
course, you knew that nobody was

115
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,800
going to take you in because you
might have some photographs or

116
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,480
some video, compromising video
or something, right?

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,360
But yet with all these documents
that they're dumping, where are

118
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,080
the videos, where are the
photos?

119
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,280
Where are the photographs
showing, you know, unusual thing

120
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,480
is going on behind the scenes.
You know, Hugh Hefner used to do

121
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,520
the same thing at Playboy
Mansion.

122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,240
He, they found out later his
daughter, who is now the CEO of

123
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Playboy, that they had video,
you know, rooms adjacent to each

124
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
of the bedrooms in the mansion.
And they would videotape people,

125
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:58,920
you know, engaging in all kinds
of things.

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520
Isn't that interesting?
And Hugh Hefner died a hero.

127
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,680
They still look at him as a
model, a role model for business

128
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,040
exceptionalism.
Do you think that all all of his

129
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,880
bunnies were 18?
Sure.

130
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,520
Yeah, me too.
OK.

131
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400
So thank you for joining me on
my walk.

132
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,160
I, I think it's important that
we do this together, especially

133
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,480
as middle-aged white men.
We need to stick around as long

134
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,840
as possible or the whole thing's
going to go to shit.

135
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,880
See you next time.
