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.
