erpret a white guy doing something he thought was protecting people on the subway and in the process the black guy died? So how do Republicans see that? They see it as a story about a tragic event. That's it. It's a tragic event. It was tragic for the person who died, tragic for the family, tragic a little bit for the people even who were saved by Penny because they had to sort of endure the situa…

news? Like I can say it because I'm just this guy with a live stream but CNN, Fox News, there's nobody who's willing to say that man is obviously super drunk and not just a little bit. He was super drunk. Because even the things he said I don't think he would say if he hadn't been drunk. So I'm not excusing him. It's no excuse. In fact it's twice as bad if you're being a bad role model and you're indicating violence. It's twice as bad. But you should know the context. It's one super drunk guy and it seemed like there were maybe 20 people pretending they cared but it looked like just sort of theater and acting out. And I don't know that Hawk has much chance of getting a regular job so I think he's just trying to monetize the activism. Don't know for sure. But he's in a situation where making money would be kind of hard because of his Black Lives Matter association.

And anyway so then later there were hundreds of marchers but I saw the video of the quote hundreds of Black Lives Matter sympathizers marching. I didn't see any black people. Are there any black people who are members of Black Lives Matter anymore or are all the people marching white women? It looked like it was mostly white women like single white women marching.

And here's what I think. I obviously can't speak for Black America but I have a hypothesis that Black America is not on the side of CNN or MSNBC on this topic. I think Black America says, wait what happened? He was threatening people and so he got taken down and bad thing happened. Oh okay. I mean I feel like even Black America is seeing this just as a common sense situation. I don't think most of them are seeing it as race. I don't know what percentage. But I feel like we've somehow advanced a little bit where I don't know that Black Lives Matter is going to get anything but white people and people who didn't have anything else to do to march about this. I feel like it's just going to be a big old fizzle. I could be wrong. Depends who's backing it. So it turns out that Alex Soros, a ton of his spending goes to various racial groups, mostly helping black Americans. And so maybe if he funds something that turns out to organize something it'll get bigger. But I feel like Black America is just seeing this exactly the right way, which is this was a crime. Well not a crime. It was just an unfortunate event and there was no bad intentions by anybody. I feel like that they say the same thing. But again it might be a 75-25 situation.

There are mounting calls for the district attorney Alvin Bragg to resign in shame, according to the New York Post. So apparently there's a pretty long list of things that Alvin Bragg has done beyond the Penny trial that his critics think are really big mistakes and very bad. So I don't think anybody thinks that's going to happen here. The only thing I noted was that th

e story in the New York Post is written by three authors and one of them is listed as Anita Behole. Anita Behole. Is that a real name? No. I think I'll just leave it right there. Need a be hole. It's probably different than a front hole. All right, let's talk about that CEO healthcare killer. So he's been caught and he was in fact an Ivy League smart guy. Now this is where you should check your p…
