Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the opening statements in the reparations debate?

0.031 - 14.887 Sean Kelly

In business, I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy, I haven't looked at my life insurance in years.

I'm going to say something. There has been no other ethnic group within the confines of the history of this nation that had the color of their skin stigmatized like black Americans did. Not one. So let me say that one more time for the camera.

71.861 - 83.644 Austin Offscript

There is no other ethnic group in the history of this nation that had the color of their skin defined as the basis upon which they were stigmatized and used as a thing, as a tool, not a person to be respected. Not true.

84.145 - 94.804 Beau Robinson

Bullshit. have been stigmatizing straight white males and basically keeping them out of universities, jobs, and moving up in careers because of it.

94.864 - 98.31 Unknown

All the reports are coming out right now. Mason, let me get this.

98.67 - 104.801 Austin Offscript

You do know that at one point it was illegal to even teach slaves to read. It was illegal to even issue birth certificates. I understand.

10 years. I'm actually shocked.

Chapter 3: What arguments are made about personal responsibility versus systemic issues?

668.64 - 675.848 Austin Offscript

And I couldn't call myself a conservative, a Republican, anything of the sort without- You're not, right? Well, you can say that, but tell me what a Republican is.

0

676.349 - 701.741 Beau Robinson

I would say a Republican is somebody that has conservative Christian values, that would lean more towards self-regulation rather than government regulation, less taxes. less lobbyists, less government control. And when you're going for reparations, that's more taxes. But before we get off on that, I want to ask you a couple questions regarding your opening statement. When did redlining end?

0

702.082 - 721.634 Beau Robinson

When did segregation end? That's been over 60, 70 years at this point. And you guys are still talking about it. So I'm just curious to know, with those things ended, and you actually never experienced them, so I'd like to know why you deserve reparations. I understand why they might deserve reparations, but I want to know why you deserve reparations.

0

721.654 - 742.651 Austin Offscript

Well, let me define... Let me first set a baseline. When I define reparations, I am not talking about... getting what Dr. William Darity said that black Americans would be entitled to, which is $250,000. I think that would create a situation where the U.S. couldn't pay that debt. It's impossible. However, you just said it yourself. Segregation ended about 60 years ago.

0

742.872 - 747.5 Austin Offscript

Women in the United States had gained full autonomy in 1975. Martin Luther King was killed in 1968.

747.52 - 750.145 Beau Robinson

They got the opportunity to vote after black men.

750.125 - 751.006 Austin Offscript

Well, right.

751.306 - 752.668 Beau Robinson

That's not my point.

752.908 - 774.095 Austin Offscript

My point is that the average lifespan of a human being is around 70 to 80 years, give or take. So you just admitted that if the civil rights movement ended only 70 years ago, that means that some of the lasting generational impacts of Jim Crow, of slavery, can still be felt today, which is why my grandmother would deserve reparations. She's still alive. My father was born in 1965.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion address the role of government in reparations?

878.234 - 880.158 Beau Robinson

It's not about refuting it. It's about whether you deserve it.

0

881.882 - 883.345 Austin Offscript

Are you a Christian, Beau?

0

883.365 - 883.586 Beau Robinson

Yes.

0

883.827 - 893.894 Austin Offscript

Okay. So is it written? So since we're Christians, this is interesting. So is it not written that you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Yes.

0

893.914 - 899.239 Beau Robinson

So you think stealing from people and giving it to yourself is what you would do unto others?

899.359 - 905.586 Austin Offscript

No, I think the white Americans stole free labor from black... Wait, did white Americans steal free labor from black folks?

906.547 - 925.393 Beau Robinson

No, they bought it. They bought it from other African Americans that sold it to us. No, it wasn't other African Americans. Excuse me, Africans that sold it to us. So Africans... On what basis did they do this? Just remember this. Africans... through battles and everything else, captured other Africans, and then sold them to the US. They were purchased, not just stolen.

925.553 - 926.775 Austin Offscript

Right, I don't disagree with that.

926.956 - 939.921 Beau Robinson

Okay, and they were brought over to the US. There's a key distinction. Can I just finish? Go ahead. I'll let you talk for a while. Go ahead. They were brought to the US. They didn't know any languages. They didn't know anything other than they were tools. And I do agree with you, and I think it was horrible that they did that.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of government reparations?

3835.697 - 3841.885 Beau Robinson

You're asking taxpayers. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. What is a government institution? Paid for by the taxpayer.

0

3842.546 - 3850.056 Austin Offscript

So you're asking the taxpayers to give reparations. No, I'm actually asking the private federal reserve that prints every dollar that we have to us in interest to give us what we're owed.

0

3850.076 - 3858.387 Beau Robinson

So do you think that's really a good idea? Do you think it's good to put us further into debt? Do you think it's good to put us further in inflation for the betterment of your people?

0

3858.487 - 3866.459 Austin Offscript

If I became president in 15 years, like I told Cenk, we wouldn't have inflation under my plan. Oh, yeah? How so? Because I would reenact the gold standard.

0

3866.619 - 3867.38 Beau Robinson

You think it's that easy?

Chapter 6: How does personal responsibility factor into systemic issues?

3867.4 - 3870.586 Beau Robinson

You think we have gold? They wouldn't even check the gold standard.

0

3870.606 - 3873.27 Austin Offscript

Well, you do know the first thing I would do would be to check Fort Knox, right?

0

3873.29 - 3874.452 Beau Robinson

And what happens if it's not there?

0

3875.153 - 3879.541 Austin Offscript

We find out where it is, Bo. Okay, and if it's not there, and we don't know where it is, we don't have it.

0

3879.741 - 3880.963 Beau Robinson

So you can't put us on it.

3880.943 - 3883.207 Austin Offscript

Well, you don't know. We don't know where it is right now.

3883.227 - 3888.718 Beau Robinson

And what do you think? You can just erase the world debt and go back to gold? That's an insane thing to think.

3888.738 - 3894.589 Austin Offscript

No, it's not. You rescale it. You do what FDR did when he passed Executive Order 6102 when he took us off the gold standard.

Chapter 7: What historical injustices are referenced in the debate?

3894.609 - 3904.65 Austin Offscript

He passed Executive Order 6102, which forced Americans to turn an all-gold bullion to the treasury at the rate of $20 an hour. obviously you have to assume I'm not the president. I don't have the classification to go into Fort Knox, do I?

0

3904.951 - 3909.481 Unknown

And I said, if it's not there. I don't give a fuck if it, if, if, if was a fifth, we'd be drunk right now.

0

3909.501 - 3920.489 Austin Offscript

So I'm operating off of the principle that if it's there, stop running from what I'm saying. Stop trying to make yourself seem right. You've been running around everywhere. No, I've been directly answering the bullshit you've been spewing, and I've been trying to stick to my point.

0

3920.529 - 3935.188 Austin Offscript

You've been doing the same thing you did on Jubilee, which is this intellectual tap dance of where you want to say some shit that you think will get clips because it'll make you sound right or sound smart. This is not about clips. This is about talking about reparations. Why? No, we're talking about... We're talking about two things. Reparations and how I'm a cultural Marxist.

0

3935.208 - 3937.795 Austin Offscript

We've addressed one. You haven't really refuted shit I'm saying.

3937.815 - 3947.518 Beau Robinson

And the more interesting... I've refuted a lot of the shit that you're saying and called you a victim because I disagree with what you're saying. You didn't... I'm not a victim, Bo. You are... Calling out history is not being a victim. No, complaining about it is...

3947.498 - 3957.694 Austin Offscript

Oh, so telling the truth is complaining about it. No. Telling the truth that a white Supreme Court justice said that a black man has no rights. He's bound to respect. That's being a victim. You complain about it 100 years later makes you a victim.

3957.714 - 3958.736 Beau Robinson

Yes. 100 years later.

3958.756 - 3959.577 Austin Offscript

You ask me a question.

Chapter 8: How do current policies affect racial economic disparities?

3959.597 - 3965.586 Austin Offscript

Yes, you're a victim. Well, as of 2025, which is current modern day, black people are still, how many times is it? Seven times more likely to become a victim.

0

3965.606 - 3969.973 Sean Kelly

That's for murder. For drug crimes, it's 12 times. For sexual assault, it's three to four times.

0

3970.294 - 3982.731 Austin Offscript

So murder is seven. Drugs is 12. Sexual assault is three. And that's wrong. Right. Okay. That's racist. I don't think it's racist. Because you're incapable, obviously you're incapable of deep intellectual thought if you can't just admit that that's racist. That's not true.

0

3982.952 - 3989.064 Unknown

It is. You're doing the same thing with me you did with Isaiah Martin. When somebody is right, Bo, you don't lose points for admitting that they're right.

0

3989.084 - 3990.887 Beau Robinson

Isaiah Martin barely talked when I was there.

3990.867 - 4001.378 Austin Offscript

I laid into him because he was being dishonest and disingenuous. Well, the only word you used in that entire debate was disingenuous, and you couldn't even refute the man's points when it wasn't that hard to do. All I'm asking you to do is this.

4001.398 - 4002.479 Beau Robinson

I did, and it was pretty easy.

4002.579 - 4011.288 Austin Offscript

All I'm asking you to do is this. Are you capable of admitting that racism is still prevalent enough to be a deterrent in the United States of America?

4011.528 - 4012.209 Beau Robinson

To be a deterrent?
