| Ami Horowitz really embodies courage, common sense, and you can see his videos up at YouTube. | |
| By the way, how do you explain the fact that they're still up? | |
| My videos? | |
| Yes. | |
| Look, it's hard to explain. | |
| It's a constant battle. | |
| They've been better than they were in the past. | |
| A couple years ago, they were pulling down a whole bunch of my videos. | |
| I have had the luxury of being able to tweet at YouTube a couple times and getting thousands of retweets at them and then have them, in fact, the CEO of YouTube tweeted back and apologized for taking them down. | |
| So I've been lucky, but not a lot of people have been afforded the same type of luck, for sure. | |
| That's right, yes, you have. | |
| Including you guys. | |
| Well, we're lucky that you're up. | |
| So, just as an example, Ami Horowitz, and we covered that, of course, Ami Horowitz went on a refugee boat with Muslims from the Middle East over to Greece. | |
| A boat is really overstating. | |
| Yeah, yeah, right. | |
| Raft. | |
| A very poorly made Chinese raft. | |
| That's right. | |
| And now you're in a more dangerous place, Minneapolis. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| Yeah, shocking that I would feel less comfortable in Minneapolis than I would in Gaza or on a rickety raft across the open Aegean Sea. | |
| I've got to say, I've started to hire security people. | |
| I've had too many situations where I was in a very bad and very alarming place and decided, why not reduce my risk somewhat? | |
| And I've got to say, after I talk to security people, I tell them what we're going to do. | |
| It's hard to find security people who are willing to do it in Minneapolis. | |
| That's how dangerous it's becoming. | |
| That's how volatile. | |
| The situation is. | |
| And, of course, you have Democratic leaders pouring fire all over this Volvo jerry can of gasoline. | |
| So, yeah, it's... | |
| Man, it's going to get real quick. | |
| Well, let's see. | |
| So, is your hotel in Minneapolis or St. Paul? | |
| No, so I'm in Minneapolis. | |
| You know, I'm in downtown Minneapolis, right? | |
| A bustling city in normal times. | |
| And the entire... | |
| You don't see anyone walking the streets. | |
| All you have are, thank God, but all you have are National Guard on every block. | |
| They have different streets are kind of cut off, kind of crazy little bottlenecks. | |
| They are preparing for, and this is all, because I'm a block away from the courthouse. | |
| The problem is they can only be at so many places at one time. | |
| They can secure downtown. | |
| The truth is, downtown is usually never where the epicenter of the rioting occurs in Minneapolis. | |
| It happens somewhere outside the city. | |
| Right. | |
| All right. | |
| Hold that thought. | |
| I want to continue with you. | |
| He's really gone to the belly of the beast. | |
| The fact... | |
| I'll have a lot of comments. | |
