=== Minneapolis Risks (03:28) ===

[00:00:00]  Ami Horowitz really embodies courage, common sense, and you can see his videos up at YouTube.
[00:00:11]  By the way, how do you explain the fact that they're still up?
[00:00:17]  My videos?
[00:00:18]  Yes.
[00:00:20]  Look, it's hard to explain.
[00:00:22]  It's a constant battle.
[00:00:23]  They've been better than they were in the past.
[00:00:25]  A couple years ago, they were pulling down a whole bunch of my videos.
[00:00:31]  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.
[00:00:49]  So I've been lucky, but not a lot of people have been afforded the same type of luck, for sure.
[00:00:55]  That's right, yes, you have.
[00:00:57]  Including you guys.
[00:00:57]  Well, we're lucky that you're up.
[00:01:00]  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.
[00:01:16]  A boat is really overstating.
[00:01:19]  Yeah, yeah, right.
[00:01:20]  Raft.
[00:01:21]  A very poorly made Chinese raft.
[00:01:26]  That's right.
[00:01:27]  And now you're in a more dangerous place, Minneapolis.
[00:01:31]  Is that correct?
[00:01:33]  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.
[00:01:43]  I've got to say, I've started to hire security people.
[00:01:51]  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?
[00:02:01]  And I've got to say, after I talk to security people, I tell them what we're going to do.
[00:02:06]  It's hard to find security people who are willing to do it in Minneapolis.
[00:02:09]  That's how dangerous it's becoming.
[00:02:10]  That's how volatile.
[00:02:12]  The situation is.
[00:02:13]  And, of course, you have Democratic leaders pouring fire all over this Volvo jerry can of gasoline.
[00:02:22]  So, yeah, it's...
[00:02:23]  Man, it's going to get real quick.
[00:02:28]  Well, let's see.
[00:02:29]  So, is your hotel in Minneapolis or St. Paul?
[00:02:33]  No, so I'm in Minneapolis.
[00:02:35]  You know, I'm in downtown Minneapolis, right?
[00:02:37]  A bustling city in normal times.
[00:02:39]  And the entire...
[00:02:41]  You don't see anyone walking the streets.
[00:02:44]  All you have are, thank God, but all you have are National Guard on every block.
[00:02:51]  They have different streets are kind of cut off, kind of crazy little bottlenecks.
[00:02:57]  They are preparing for, and this is all, because I'm a block away from the courthouse.
[00:03:05]  The problem is they can only be at so many places at one time.
[00:03:09]  They can secure downtown.
[00:03:10]  The truth is, downtown is usually never where the epicenter of the rioting occurs in Minneapolis.
[00:03:18]  It happens somewhere outside the city.
[00:03:20]  Right.
[00:03:20]  All right.
[00:03:21]  Hold that thought.
[00:03:22]  I want to continue with you.
[00:03:24]  He's really gone to the belly of the beast.
[00:03:26]  The fact...
[00:03:27]  I'll have a lot of comments.
