u could not have a dissenting opinion even if you're respectful and even if your data was on your side and even if you're well-meaning. Not allowed. And number four, the protest has a low regard for public safety. And I think that's true.

So I don't know how to participate in a debate in which you can't talk about the data, you can't have a different opinion, there's no real suggestions, and they're not even concerned with public well-being. Like I don't know. What's that? Part of the reason that I think the protests are so big, and again nobody seems to want to say this out loud but I will, it's because the weather is good and there are no alternatives for something to do. Imagine if this was just a regular summer and people had their summer vacations planned and kids were going to camps and you know you're just busy running around and you could go to clubs and bars, you could go out to restaurants, you're at the beach and you've got all these other things you can do. How big would the protest be now? You'd like to believe they'd be the same size, right? Because what's more important, going to the beach or protesting to try to improve life and reduce racism? So your logical mind says well they'd be the same size because it's so important compared to going to the beach. Have you met people? If you've got that many human beings there are a lot of those people who would have gone to the beach. They would have gone to the beach. It doesn't mean that the issue is any less. Certainly not saying that. I'm just saying if you're looking at the size of the crowd it's completely misleading because they just didn't have anything else to do. It was outdoors that you could leave the house. So I think we're being fooled not only by selective images on our TV. We're being fooled because we ignore the alternatives. You know the alternative was to do something else and it didn't exist.

All right, it's the perfect time for a protest. Weather's good and there's nothing else to do. I don't even think the protest would be this big if they were in August because it'd be too hot. I mean that alone would be a factor.

You just described Florida. Do you think it'll matter that people are saying that Democratic mayors all failed? Do you think that that's going to matter to anything? I have a feeling it won't. I really do. I'd love to see some kind of a city, let's say consultants like Bain consultants or people like that. I'd love to see them put together a city rescue service. So it would be a contracted service and you would say to some big consulting company, McKinsey, just somebody who's got a lot of smart people, and you'd say we're gonna have an election in our city and if we choose this by referendum then you're going to come in for two years and at two years you're out of here. But two years will bring in professional consultants who have a package of, you know, they figured out how to do things, what works and what doesn't, and they'll come in and they'll just implement these changes. We'll run it for two years and then the consultants will have to leave no matter how well they do. They don't live here. They're not elected. They've got to leave after two years and then we'll try to fill positions with regular elected people to keep the momentum going. Do you think anybody would use that? Would anybody use a city rescue service? Like it would be like a government in a box, you know, a canned gover
