They were made of plastic. And that was genius, and it absolutely changed the world. At least the world of glasses. By 1978, when the founder of that company was ready to sell that company that he had built, he found a very willing buyer in 3m and they bought his company in 1978 for 70 million at the time. In todays money, that would be about a quarter billion dollars. And this was a privately held firm. So basically all of the Purchase Price, as far as i can tell, went to him. Almost all the Purchase Price went to the one guy who had the idea and founded that company and made it happen. The founder of armor light, the inventor of plastic eyeglass lenses. He obviously was doing well for quite some time running armor light. But once he got bought by 3m in 1978, then he was doing well on the order of a different magnitude. He was crazily wildly rich, all of a sudden. And that ended up being very good for saturday night live, because it turns out the guy who invented plastic eyeglass lenses, when he got to be a zillionaire, he turned out to be a selfmade, super rich zillionaires, with truly amazing ideas about himself and what he wants to do with his money. A lot of people have more or less insane selfaggrandizing fantasies about themselves. But when it gets to be like scifi on earth, or straight into the saturday night live skit, is when people who have crazy, selfaggrandizing ideas, also end up having tons and tons of money to make their crazy visions come true on earth. Weve got one of those right now in this weeks news. You might remember the eccentric trumpsupporting billionaire, one of them at least, who spoke at the Republican National convention on behalf of donald trump. Peter thiel, hes been in the news this week because he sued the website gawker out of existence. He didnt like the way that gawker covered him, so he funded a secret Legal Campaign against gawker and its founder to bankrupt them and put them out of business. Gawker closes next week. Peter thiel has been in the news because of that, but hes also an illustrative idea or example of this thing that we have in america. Hes the latest in a long string of these guys who are richer than god and a little kooky and once theyre richer than god, they decide they can basically transcend the other bounds that hold us mere mortals within what the rest of us think of as reality. I mean, consider that both the armor light eyeglasses guy back in the day and peter thiel right now, both of them, as super rich guys, with very interesting ideas about themselves, both of them tried to found their own countries. Peter thiel tried to buy himself a new country made of shipping containers that would be governed as an anarchic libertarian floating country on the seas. The eyeglasses guy wanted to found his own country by buying an existing island somewhere which he would run not as a libertarian utopia, but he would run his as an exclusive haven. A nation built by and exclusively for scientists, and they would invent stuff and thats how their economy would work. And the reason they wouldnt need to do anything but invent stuff is because they were scientific geniuses. And in this new world, they wouldnt have any interference from all the morons who populate other countries and get in the way. Just elite scientists and so everything would be perfect. The eyeglasses zillionaire explored that idea in the early 70s. It didnt go anywhere. But when we got his giant quarter billion dollar windfall in 1978, he decided to move on instead winother of his Mad Scientist genius ideas. It was a different idea. A plan that he came up with. He did put it into effect and it became very interesting news in california. Not a new country, but his other idea was about genius sperm. He founded a special, elite, millionaires sperm bank, that was designed specifically to stock the sperm of Nobel Prize Winning scientists. Mankind cannot live on sperm alone, but he had a plan to solve that problem too. The way this bank would work, if you wanted to get your hands or whatever on that sweet, sweet, elite nobel scientist sperm, the millionaire eyeglass mogul in charge of this private sperm bank, he wasnt going to let just anybody make a withdrawal from his vault. Not any rag tag woman come up to the teller window in that particular bank. No, he decided, according to the rules of his eccentric sperm project, anyone who wanted access to this sperm repository would have to prove that she was a member of mensa. This really happened. The l. A. Times did a great biography of the eyeglass zillionaire like ten years ago. I still have a printout of it in a physical file, just in case the internet gets erased sometime and i wont be able to find it again. They call it darwins engineer. And its the story of how this selfmade millionaire, the man who groundout prescription eyeglasses from plastic, then decided what he was going to do with that fortune was grind out, not exactly a master race, but sort of a Genetic Improvement Program for a group of handselected, deliberately bred elite babies. The nobel prize sperm bank. The problem, ultimately with his project was that only one Nobel Prize Winner would publicly admit that he had donated his sperm. The only one who went public with the fact that he was supporting this deal was named William Shockley. That name may be familiar to you. William shockley is a legitimate scientific phenomenon. He invented the transistor, won the nobel prize in 1956. He donated his sperm to the eyeglasses guy. Shockley had been this physics genius, but by the time he was talking to newspapers in the 70s about him happily making deposits in the eyeglass moguls elite sperm bank, by then, William Shockley was kind of a different guy. He was a man who had given up physics, in order to devote himself full time to spreading the news about the inherent genetic inferiority and intellectual incapacity of black people. In his later years, shockley became devoted to the idea that African Americans were socially inferior and it was genetic. They were genetically inferior human beings because of their race. William shockley said society should pay people with low iqs to sterilize themselves. He did a lot in science, but he was also, by the end of his life, a full on racist eugenicist. Who was trying to propagate his own sperm at an elite sperm bank, instead of all the inferior sperm that was out there in the world messing up the gene pool. And he ended up being the public face of the nobel prize sperm bank. And therefore it ended up being one of the weirder california news stories of the late 70s and early 80s, which is saying something, because that was a weird time. Saturday night live in 1980 did a skit about it, that they called dr. Shockleys house of sperm. Dr. Shockleys house of sperm. No. Were open 24 hours. Just bring in a recent iq test or an s. A. T. Test, Something Like that. Thank you. Goodbye. Hello. My husband and i would like to have a child, but unfortunately my husband is sterile. H good afternoon. Could i help you . Yeah. You got any rosa . No. How about andrew young . No, sorry. Willie mays . Im afraid dr. Shockley may not have stocked exactly what you have in mind. About the closest we could get for you is tony orlando. I tell you what, since you dont have no brothers in there, who is that white dude, the one that oh, Rodney Dangerfield. Yeah, you got him . No, wait a minute, thats what weve been waiting for, the Rodney Dangerfield. We were here first. The Rodney Dangerfield sperm, kind of a long story, kind of hard to get there in the time we have available this evening. But inevitably because of the subject of the joke era, you have to wrap the skit around to uniform nazis showing up later on in the skit and getting in line to get their genetically superior sperm as well. Of course this was a news story at the time, but it ended up on snl, because it was an elite, seemingly racist sperm bank, based on eugenics, improving the gene pool and thats ridiculous and hilarious with the right cast. But the nazi is there for a reason too. Right . Its all creepy. And its also an idea for which there are american diehards. And the zillionaire eyeglass mogul who got all this public ridicule for it in the 70s and 80s and ending up on saturday night live and all the rest of it, while he was trying to found his nobel scientist sperm bank, and getting all this press about it being a racist, eugenicist endeavor, he did get some support at the time from some eugenics diehards. In 1996, in fact, he got a letter from a guy who founded something called the society for genetic education. This guy wrote to the Nobel Prize Winner sperm bank guy, the eyeglasses guy, to try to help him out with his pr, to give him alternative strategies for how to talk about what he was trying to do, that maybe wouldnt creep people out so easily. He said the way his group was doing it, they emphasize said mankinds use of eugenic emphasis on plants and lower animals, as a way to condition the public for genetic manipulation and raise the application to the human race. He said he found it helpful to do his work under the term genetics rather than eugenics. Stop talking about eugenics. Its not a subtle idea now matter how many Nobel Laureates you get to make deposits. Its always going to feel a little german, right . But whatever you call it, the idea was clear in this case, it was the same. This is from that same letter, from the society for genetic education guy to the eyeglasses mogul, trying to run the genius sperm bank. Same letter. He says, quote, do we leave it to individuals to decide they are the intelligent ones to have more kids . And more troublesome, what about the less intelligent . Who logically should have less. Whos going to break the news to less intelligent individuals and how will it be implemented . In other words, how are we going to get the elite to have lots of kids, and the lesser humans to stop producing all these filthy offspring, which is so genetically terrible for us . That guy writing to the nobel prize sperm bank, dont say eugenics, worrying about how were going to break it to the lesser humans among us that they cant breed anymore, that guy was the founder of the society for genetic education. A few years earlier, he had mused in print about creating an organization with a less subtle name. Kicked around the idea of leader, standing for the league for European American defense education and research, the idea of leader would be to work to genetically protect a white majority for the United States of america. That group was never founded, but hes on paper musing about creating it. Hes on the record saying that is maybe what he wanted to do. Hes a guy who has become pretty famous in the modern history of american racism and eugenics, his name is john tanton. He says, quote, ive come to the the Arizona Republic published his memos in the late 80s, where he lamented a latino onslaught in this country. He questioned the educability of hispanics as a race of people. Can they even be educated . Another one of the organizations he founded was called u. S. English. When those memos were published in the arizona public and his views became known, a bunch of mainstream people, walter cronkite, arnold schwarzenegger, linda chavez, they had all Previous Associated with this group, when those memos came out showing his racial views, they bugged out and disavowed any further association with him. But john tanton kept it up. Its been his lifes work. Hes founded lots and lots of different antiimmigrant groups over the years. And the two that have really stuck and really succeeded, a group called fair and a thinktank called the center for Immigration Studies. Ever heard that name before . If you heard that name today, its because that name, center for Immigration Studies, appears on screen in the brandnew donald trump ad that came out today. Ten seconds into the 30second ad, this is the first ad that donald trump has run in the general election and right out of the gate, hes citing the center for Immigration Studies the head of the center has met with donald trump and his camp. Hes bragged about that. Its part of the antiimmigrant groups founded by john tanton that you see here. Hes kept many people very busy for decades, as they keep trying to remind people who he is, as he drifts in and out of white supremacist circles and eugenics groups and continues to found on serve on the board of groups that advocate antiimmigrant policies. And the reason those watchdog groups are so busy about him, some of these john tanton groups make a point of trying to make themselves seem very mainstream, normal republican and conservative organizations, but theyre all part of the same network, all founded by the same guy and they never stay camouflaged for l thatong. The center for Immigration Studies, for example, will distribute essays from holocaust deniers every now and again. Oops. They keep finding themselves digesting and sending around work by white nationalists. I mean, you get back to that dark side. You slip back into that really fast when youre circulating arguments like, the native ethnic stock that founded and built the u. S. Is systematically being replaced through massive third world immigration. Native ethnic stock. For the First National donald trump ad of the president ial election to be citing the john tanton group, thats nuclear. A lot of people have noted today that the content of the first donald trump ad which came out today looks nothing like this ad from california that you see on the left, around the time that john tanton was writing helpful dont say eugenics to the nobel prize sperm bank. This was from pete wilson in support of antiimmigrant legislation that california passed that year and that he supported. And that antiimmigrant stuff it passed in the mid 90s, but the effect of that and the Advertising Campaigns that pete wilson ran for that policy, they have had a longer term effect on california politics thats legendary. People talk about that pete wilson ad as the swarm ad. That leaves an impression on people youre trying to scare about immigrants and latinos. In california, republicans did well with that issue at the time, in the mid 90s. But imagery like that doesnt just have an impact on the people youre trying to scare. The people youre depicting are cockroaches, theyre not likely to forget how youve depicted them, and trying to scare other people into thinking of them as a sub human threat. California used to be a red state. Will you put up that picture again . Ronald reagan, republican governor of california for a reason. Pete wilson was republican governor of california for a reason. It was a swing state or a red state. But you know what, every since under pete wilson, they went hardcore antiimmigrant in the mid 90s. Every since then, the Republican Party in california has gone extinct. There hasnt been a republican elected statewide in california in a decade and counting. So, yeah, pete wilson won on that issue for a minute. But look what it did to the Republican Party. Donald trump ran his first ad in the general election campaign. If it feels familiar, thats for if it feels familiar, thats for a reason. Isaac hou has mastered gravity defying moves to amaze his audience. Great show. Here you go. Now hes added a new routine.

Hes 18 years old. Hes a supporter of donald trump. He went to Donald Trumps rally last night in charlotte, and something absolutely unthinkable to him happened to him at that event. Hes here with us tonight. Along with his dad. Theyre here for the interview tonight. Thats coming up. Stay with us. Gary, gary, gary. I am proud of you, my man.

Today we got the third Donald Trump Campaign shakeup in the last five months. After throwing out the Campaign Leadership once in april and once again in june, they did it again today. Trump Campaign ChairmanPaul Manafort officially out of the Trump Campaign after one too many negative headlines concerning his lobbying connections to a prorussia Political Party in ukraine. Those headlines, which seem to be increasing in number by the day, as well as Donald Trumps continued bad performance in the polls, its one thing that maybe would let you predict a shakeup at the top. This is the third one in five months, though. Is it weird, is it important, to have that much turnover at the top this close to a general election to choose the next president of the United States . Joining us now is dan rather, longtime anchor of the cbs evening news. Great to see you. Thanks for having me. Is it unusual to have this much turnover, this frequently and this close to the election . Its not usual. I hesitate to say its unprecedented, because somewhere back in the 19th century maybe it happened, but not in modern president ial campaigns has it happened this many times, this close to election day. But what it tells you is that donald trump reads the polls like everyone else. He may be saying, as i sometimes say, dont pay too much attention to the polls this time of year, but, look, this is the way it is in losing teams locker rooms. Coaches get fired. And as a matter of fact, this is what trump does best. Like in his tv program, people come in, and they get fired. In a theatrical way. But what hes trying to do is once again reboot the whole campaign. And he says to himself, losing momentum, and clearly has he been since the democratic convention. I think part of what happened with the convention and the khan family and how he mishandled that whole thing. That he says to himself, i cant continue with this team this way and expect to win. So he makes a change. And ill tell you something, i wouldnt be surprised to see him change again before the Campaign Goes over. Some people say that the one really good thing about the fact that our president ial elections are so long, and get so much attention, get so much saturation coverage, is that you cant get away with anything. It does end up being a full body mri in terms of how you operate. Its very hard to do anything in secret or do anything that everybody doesnt notice. But it also shows how well you operate in terms of running an organization over a long period of time with unrelenting scrutiny on you and that we should see management skill in running a campaign as a way of foreshadowing what youd be like as a president. I think that analogy holds up well. Donald trump has never been through this, and he would say thats an advantage, hes not a lifetime politician. But youve hit on it, the campaigns are long, and theres no place to hide. Hes just not used to that kind of scrutiny. But ive said before, i dont count him out, at least not yet. But what hes attempting the last say, 24 to 48 hours, maybe longer than that, with his appearance before the group in a white suburb, and somebody remarked, thats no place to talk to African Americans. Right. He gave a speech in which he kept saying he was talking to African Americans, in an allwhite room. Its easy to miss the point, he knows that hes not going to get African American votes. They see him as a threat. What he was attempting to do was to appeal to independents and swing voters, mostly white, who might be inclined to go for him, saying, im really not a racist. They were his audience, not the African American audience. The African American audience is smart. Theyre been through a lot and theyre almost impossible to fool. So they take the attitude, i dont mind you asking me to eat broccoli half as much as trying to convince me that its a biscuit. Thats why you get him twice in one week where hes talking about African Americans, but supposedly from the podium, to African Americans, there are none or a very small number of African Americans in the room. But youre saying thats actually targeting white people to make them think hes less of a bigot and if you support him, youre not a racist . Exactly. Donald trump knows that his path to win, and he knows its narrow, its to get higher percentages of white people who voted in past elections to vote. Thats number one. And a higher percentage of the ones who do vote to vote for him. Its not africanamericans hes talking to. I will say, were talking about the campaign switches, that Kellyanne Conway, the woman who is now the manager, shes terrific on television. Whether you like donald trump or not, this woman can talk the legs off a table. And shes all over the place and shes presenting in the last, i would say, 48 or 75 or 80 hours, the best case for donald trump that has been put forward so far, with the possible exception of the candidate himself. Do you think well continue to see, one of the things ive been highlighting, these references and use of material from the very far right. The reason i did that center for immigration study at the top is because that ought to be a nuclear reference in president ial politics, at least in terms of racial extremism. And weve seen that a bunch of different times from the Trump Campaign, if theyre trying to maximize the white vote. Do you think well get some of this fringe, racial stuff . I think you may get a lot of it, perhaps subtly put, perhaps not as straightforward. But the campaign is being run by donald trump. Hes taking aboard, workers who are from the fringes. Zealots from the fringes of the party, who are now helping him run the campaign. And theyre going to say the kinds of things they were previously saying on rightwing radio, because they think if you say it often enough, theyre convinced that will get donald trump the white votes he needs, the big white turnout that he needs. I think youre going to see an awful lot of that. The best political analyst strategist i know, mike murphy, run Many Republican campaigns, brilliant guy. Great guy. He thinks its suicidal in political terms for donald trump. But donald trump does not. Hes turned himself over to a lot of zealots from the fringes of the party and well see how that goes. See how long that lasts with Kellyanne Conway putting a shine on it. Thank you very much. Thank you.

We dont have hard numbers on the demographics of his crowds. But if youve been to donald trump rallies or talk to reporters who have been to a lot of them, they will tell you that the crowds are pretty white. So much so that the candidate himself has been known to get visibly excited when he sees someone who is not white at one of his events. There was the time he saw a woman hold up a latinos support d. Trump sign. Invited her up on stage for a hug and a kiss. All the time he pointed out an africanamerican man holding a trump sign at a rally. And he said, look at my africanamerican over there. Like it or not, racial homogeneity in the crowd is what the Trump Campaign has been like. And maybe thats the context for understanding an upsetting story in charlotte, North Carolina, to jake anantha. Hes on the left there. Hes 18. Thats him with his dad ramesh. Rameshs parents emigrated to the u. S. From india. Jake was born here, hes a College Freshman in North Carolina. Because jake is 18 years old this year, he has a chance to vote in this years election. Its exciting when you turn 18 in a president ial election year. Jake has been a huge donald trump supporter. He tells us he has a trump make America Great again tshirts that he wears to school on a weekly basis. So when the Trump Campaign announced their charlotte, North Carolina rally, jake and thousands of other Trump Supporters turned out and that meant waiting in the hot sun outside the Convention Center to get in. And jake waited more once he got inside, waiting for trump to arrive. Jake said he was listening to music on his headphones. He was super excited to finally see his candidate. But then something unexpected happened. Before donald trump even appeared on stage, jake said a member of trumps Security Team tapped him on the shoulder and told him they recognized him from previous trump rallies. This despite the fact that jake says hes never been to any previous trump rallies. They told him he had to leave. He said he tried to explain that he had never been to a trump rally before. Tried to say he was a trump supporter, wasnt there to protest by any means, but they threw him out. Charlotte observer picked up the story today. Quote, anantha said he stood outside the Convention Center, watching a stream of white people enter. Quote, i thought trump was for all the people. I dont believe it anymore. Why are all these white people allowed to attend and im not . Jake also told the observer that after this experience at his First Political rally for the first election he can vote in, he doesnt think he can support trump anymore. The Trump Campaign is sticking by their assertion they were right to throw jake out. Saying, we were informed last night that security identified those individuals, asked to leave, as individuals who have been removed from previous events. Trumps spokesman then named a former fbi agent as the trump security director, who was responsible for determining that jake anantha was a protester who had been kicked out of previous events and thats why they kicked him out in charlotte last night. In his speech last night at that event, donald trump made a verbal attempt at least to reach out to minority communities, saying he promises fair and equal representation to africanamericans, hispanic americans, and all americans. That is what donald trump said from the podium last night, but by then jake had been kicked out and he didnt get to see the speech. Jake and his dad are here for the interview, next.

This is what we promise, we all promise, everybody in this room promises. This is what we have to do. Speaking of who was in the room, a young man from North Carolina named jake anantha went to the rally last night, hes 18, voting in his first election this year. Went to the rally in charlotte, to see the candidate who he has enthusiastically supported. But jake was ejected from the rally by trump security. He said he believes he was racially profiled. Joining us now are jake anantha and his father ramesh. Welcome to both of you. Its nice of you to come on the show to talk about what happened. I appreciate you both being here. Yeah, and thank you. Thanks, rachel. Jake, let me start with you. Tell me if i got anything wrong, if terms of how i explained what happened last night and just put it in your own words. You were pretty much correct. I showed up around 2 00, 2 30, got in line around 3 00 or so. I was waiting in the hot sun until about just before 4 30. They opened the doors, let me in. I went through security. Everything was fine. I was there fairly early, so i was fairly close to the stage. I had to wait for a while. Probably waiting for about an hour and a half, just listening to music, minding my own business and i get a tap on my shoulder from Donald Trumps head of security, basically telling me that he knows who i am, that i am a protester, i am someone who has been kicked out of previous rallies for disrupting, which isnt true at all. I was shocked to hear this. Everything he was saying, i was completely shocked. Ive never been to a donald trump rally before that. And i would never protest against trump, because i was a donald trump supporter. And you explained that to the head of security, and he just said, i dont care, or did he rebut you, or did he well, he claimed that three people, three individuals, i guess, had pointed me out, while i was standing there. I dont know if these were security guards or just random people that were attending the event. But, i guess their matters were more important than mine, holds more weight. I really dont understand. Can i just ask you how you feel about it . Not to explain their motivation or where you think it was coming from, but how it made you feel in the moment and how you feel about it now. You know, what i will say, i am definitely not a donald trump supporter anymore. I believe that when i was there, everyone welcomed me. Everyone there was great. The people i was waiting in line with, who was standing next to. It was a great day until Donald Trumps head of security essentially is making up a lie about how he knows who i am, about how im a protester, who has protested at previous rallies and the most frustrating thing, he doesnt give me a name of who he thinks i am, no picture, nothing. He could have fabricated all of this and i was left in the dark. No matter what i said, he wouldnt have believed me. Mr. Anantha, i understand that youre a republican as well. You havent been as enthusiastic about donald trump as your son. What did you think about your son going to this event and what do you think about how it worked out . Its incredibly disappointing, discouraging, and really heartbreaking. The irony is pretty much unbelievable because jake was the biggest trump supporter, wearing his shirt, you know, just really trumps message resonated with him. He loved the guy. And this is a supporter that trump should be falling over himself to celebrate, to get up on stage. Hes young, hes minority, mixed race. I mean, trump should be celebrating him. Instead, he kicks him out. Yes, it was not donald trump himself who pointed to my son and said, get out of here, but it was his head of security, eddy deck, former fbi agent who runs the show for security. And the way trump has been changing Campaign Managers quicker than his socks, i think he ought to think about changing his Security Team, because theyre not making the rallies a very welcoming or open, inclusive place. Jake, let me ask you before we go, you said you dont feel like you can support trump anymore. Do you want an apology . I would like an apology. I guess theyre sticking to the story that i am a known protester, which obviously isnt true. I would like for them to say, were sorry, we made a huge mistake, we profiled you and we realize what weve done is wrong and were sorry. I would definitely like an apology. Thank you both so much for talking to us about this. I know that its probably not fun to talk about. I imagine it wasnt fun to go through. But you explaining it in your own terms is helpful for us to know what happened. Thank you. Much more to come tonight, including a best thing in the world which you need and im really happy weve got.
