And they didn't even do that, apparently.

So I guess the idea that they assume these political officials are –

And I guess on the left, that once you stake out this premise that you have been wronged or historically wronged or you're a victim, then any type of behavior is okay and there won't be consequences.

And the sad thing is I think they're right.

It works.

And Mondami is even playing a victim.

And so when you get these very affluent people, multiple houses, big salaries, and then they talk as if they're on the barricades and somebody's out to get them, it seems to work, at least with half the population.

It's destroying the country.

Nobody has any confidence in the law anymore.

They don't feel that justice will be dispensed equally.

Yeah, and I guess what's tragic about this, because I'm 72, I can remember in my teens at the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, its theme, what we all heard.

I remember my parents grew up from my farm, and I actually heard Martin Luther King speak at Grace Cathedral.

And the message originally was that any time you give exemptions to anybody other than on a meritocratic basis, it's wrong.

So there was the old boy white network.

And there was truth to that, that people who were African-American were not given a fair shot and a level – I heard that term all the time.

All we want is a level playing field.

And then 60 years later, these so-called victims and civil rights activists have morphed into exactly what their grandparents said was wrong.

And they are now saying that because even though I haven't suffered anything and I've actually gamed the system, somebody 60 years ago did and before, and therefore I'm going to do the same thing

that the old white boy network did.

I want exemption, exemption, I'm a victim and I don't have to go through the regular process of meritocratic evaluation or I don't have to have the same exposure to the law or the legal system because I'm a victim.
