good evening, ali. i needed the answer to that, who will be. do you have an idea? i do, but i can say. i can t say. i have to respect the wishes of the new collagen, like some other people. fair enough, i want to go back to the conversation you are having with germany about almost people. it was a new york story but the same in every major city. the majority of chronically homeless in the city are, they suffer from substance abuse and mental illness. they are voiceless, they are homeless, no one cares. they re all around us, and if you choose not to, look you may not see them. but if you choose to look, you realize that they are your fellow citizens, and they are the last bastion. you can kick them when they re down, because there s not to speak for them. i m glad that you did we did. it s really important to remind each other and ourselves about our shared humidity. we re all in this together. you did that. have a good week, i ll see you next week. t. welcome to
what was the connection between selling guns and causing people? the nra figured out that if you can t motivate people with irrational fear, conspiracy theory and an existential battle that you can make them both in irrational ways. it doesn t 16, we saw a lot of people vote and what we think are irrational ways. the problem is that those exact same thing so guns. they are effective as selling guns. so consider that before our first black president but in the polls in 2007, brock obama, the industry had never produced more than about six and a half percent in a single ear. in the worst we can remember, the most radical as fearful conspiracy late in fear, 2020, there were 23 million guns sold in the u.s.. radicalization, hatred and fear are the same things that ghosting struck put a akabas, and they drive councils. cynthia, it should be very easy to denounce radicalism and extremism and violent extremism. apparently, it s not. senator tommy
we ve had 357% increase of domestic terrorism investigations by the fbi. every measure we have available, we re seeing increases in a wide variety of violent extremism. so, when you see people move to, a sense of as persons them, it poses an existential threat, that s where we need to call for violence. that s where it is dangerous. ryan, that is a job as well? everywhere in the world that we ve seen extremism flores, we ve seen the othering of people, the dehumanizing of whatever the other side, there is an issue in america, and the prevailing issue right now is that there are a lot of people armed. there are a lot of guns. no matter what you say the reason is that the shooting, the thing that they all have in common, and that we don t have in common with other developed nations as the number of guns. yeah, absolutely, ali, cynthia is absolutely right. when you reduce things down to an all or nothing us or them existential battle, you re going to have a radicalized
had this exchange with my colleague julie tsirkin. listen to this for a second. sir, if there are folks support nationalist beliefs, of which there are in this country unfortunately, they believe they should be serving in the military? we got to define the first. what is a white nationalists? someone who propagates nazism, some who doesn t believe that black and brown people are equals you take a white nationalist is a nazi? well, that is one of their beliefs. well, i don t look at it like that. how do you look at a? i look at a white nationalists as a trump republican. that s what we re called all the time. a maga person, that s what i m you agree with that assumption? i agree that we should not be characterizing trump supporters as white nationalists. cynthia, where i come from, they called that a layup. julie gave him a couple of opportunities to say, hold on, we re confusing thanks. i am a trump supporter, i am a maga person, not a white nationalists.
tony temporal as much as said it. and so, if you wonder why we can t get anything done, the analogy i often use is, like for instance, background checks, put 95%, an incremental improvement. we can t do anything about the. why is that? it s as if there is a peep and the republican house, and there is a space this flaking off. 85% say that is bad, that might cause cancer, we should do something about it if you pull that beam out, the whole house comes down. in other words, the entire republican gop mantra, their totem is guns and guns rajah radicalization. it s very difficult for it to be pulled out of the home. cynthia, is there a solution to this? between the gun issue and the tacit support of or refusal to condemn extremists, violent extremism, and kind of feels like a debt and. what is the answer to this? you heard ryan just talk about
