00:00Hey, nice shirt.
00:01Oh, thank you.
00:02First of all, Path of Exile for life, but more importantly, as we see the whole world
00:10has turned to a fear-based mobilization effort, and we've seen that translate into violence
00:15and the right's not immune to it, because it can hit everybody's psychology.
00:20How do we beat that with optimism, because that's going to be crucial to avoid mass eruption
00:26of conflict?
00:28Yeah, I mean, you're right that the right is not immune from hate and violence, it's
00:36not like nothing, but it does seem weirdly, heavily weighted towards the left.
00:43I haven't seen anyone tearing off a Biden-Harris hat, like you feel a bit sorry for them, like
00:49maybe they're wrong there, you know.
00:53But you see people tearing off MAGA hats.
00:56And I saw a video just today where somebody was just on an escalator, a woman was on an
01:02escalator wearing a MAGA hat, and someone going the other direction tore the hat off
01:05her head.
01:06I'm like, what, that's rude, you know.
01:11So in fact, I sort of find myself in a strange position, because I didn't think of myself
01:18as right, I thought of myself as centrist, but then the left went all the way in the
01:22other direction, and now everyone's a Nazi, you know, before you know it.
01:28And I'm like, wait a second, do you know what that means?
01:31Obviously not.
01:32So, but yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I believe in peaceful discourse, and that, you
01:42know, we make arguments, global arguments, and the people decide which way they want
01:49to go, but we, you know, we don't engage in sort of shouting people down or violence
01:54or burning things or shooting things.
01:58That's what, that's how democracy is supposed to work, is peaceful discourse.
02:01Welcome to Hangout, and see, maybe there's some questions people would like to see, we'll
02:08go.
02:09Hi, Elon.
02:10I also am a teacher.
02:11I was a teacher in Colorado for eight years, high school Spanish, but I moved, I moved
02:17here last year and got to vote in Wisconsin, where my vote actually mattered, and I'm so
02:22glad.
02:23That was amazing that we got Trump elected, and I was listening to, I believe it was Patrick
02:34Bet-David, he called this perfectly, where he said, when Elon, or when Trump gets elected,
02:43he's going to go from enemy number one to Elon's going to be number, number one, and
02:50for the reason, I mean, he only has a couple years left, and we've all seen the, the left
02:58go after you and make you number one enemy, and just walking in here, we heard Nazis suck,
03:05there's all this horrible thing, and just on a, on a serious note, I just want to let
03:10you know, my wife and I pray for you at night.
03:14For your safety.
03:15I gotta, I gotta wash my hand gestures these days, you know, but I think this one's safe,
03:29you know.
03:30You know, it's like, can't wave to the crowd, you never know what'll happen.
03:39I've been a fan of yours.
