saving up to get a car. So somebody just gave him a Mustang. Now here's the fun part of the story. His late mother had that same car. And so it wasn't just a car. It was like really a meaningful who's-programming-the-simulation kind of a car. Of all the cars in the world he was given as a gift the car that had the most meaning to it. That was a coincidence. He gets a car and then somebody hears that story and they say what good's a car without car insurance. So somebody bought him insurance. So he got a brand new, not a brand new, it was a used but it was a classic Mustang, you know maybe better than a new car depending on what kind of cars you like. And then somebody paid for his college education. They gave him a car, car insurance, and they paid for college because he spent 10 hours sweeping the streets and asking for nothing. My cat is visiting. If you see a tail go by. He asked for nothing and he got a car, car insurance, and a free education.

Now how often does this work? Well it doesn't work like that too often. Like you're not going to get a car and a college education just for helping people out. But the concept of reciprocity will work every time. What are white people doing to try to make the world better? You're watching the protests. The white people are washing the feet of Black Lives Matter people and the leaders of Black churches. Why are they doing that? Well who knows. You can't really see in their minds. But it is a reciprocity play because if you're watching that and you're Black, let's say you're a Black leader and some white people said can we wash your feet on camera and you said yes and it happened, how do you feel? Do you say ah suckers, you suckers, hahaha that changed nothing? You might try to feel that way. You might try to feel like these stupid white people they don't know that this doesn't work but sure I'll humiliate them. I'll let them wash my feet. I don't know what you're thinking intellectually but I gotta tell you it probably worked because reciprocity doesn't ever not work. It works every time.

So if the Black Lives Matter people wanted equality there is a four-lane highway with no traffic to get there. It's called reciprocity. But could you use a reciprocity strategy if you were let's say still suffering in your opinion from the effects of slavery? All right, if you still felt oppressed today and you felt it was the legacy of slavery and all the bad Jim Crow laws and everything in the history, if that's what's on your mind and that's sort of defining your worldview, how in the world could you ever use reciprocity as a tool? It just doesn't feel like giving something is the right solution when the problem is people took too much. I mean slavery is somebody taking too much from you. Your very liberty, your life, your safety, everything. Slavery is taking everything from you. So how do you get from that mindset, something that's still rippling through history, how do you get from that mindset to the most productive and reliable persuasion technique in the world, reciprocity?

Well I would look at an 18-year-old Buffalo teen who did that. He actually did that. He was born into the same world you were born into. Slavery is still a historical fact in his world, right? This 18-year-old was not born into a world where slavery never happened. Nope. He was not born into a world where Black people are treated exactly the same as white people. Nope. He wasn't born into that world. Wasn't born into a world where everything is fair. Nope. Wasn't born into a world where racism doesn't exist. Nope. He had every obstacle in the world against him. Every obstacle in the world against him. And he fixed it with a broom. A broom. He changed his life with a broom in 10 hours. And if you had asked me ahead of time, Scott do you think this is a good idea? Will this work? I would have said not only will it work, it could change your life. Might even change the world. I doubt it because I don't just think it's realistic to find too many people that have as much on the ball as this 18-year-old has. This 18-year-old is just operating at a different level. If this guy doesn't run for office someday it would be a crime because this is the guy you need to be in charge. I would vote for this guy. He's 18 years old. He already has my vote for president frankly.

All right, so let's see what else is coming down the road. Let's talk about Biden and his vice presidential pick. Some smart people are saying it's narrowed down to Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris. So I did a little Twitter poll to find out how you thought about it and Kamala Harris was a winner of the unscientific Twitter poll with almost 70 percent of the vote. It's sort of a two to one let's say. So two to one of probably mostly pro-Trump people who voted in my unscientific Twitter poll, two to one thought Kamala Harris was the stronger candidate. Stronger meaning the one that would help Biden the most. And I agree with that completely. Some people complained and said no way because Kamala Harris was a prosecutor and she is more associated with putting Black people in jail than she is associated with defunding the police which is the popular thing for Democrats. But I would argue this. That if you're Democrats and you're worried about scaring Republicans with too much of the defund the police stuff, and I think Biden's not going to go fully, he might flirt with defunding the police but he's not going to be an eliminate the police guy I don't think. I think Harris is actually perfect for that because she straddles both worlds like nobody else you can think of. You want somebody who's got one foot in the world of the
