>> HERE YOU GO.
THE SECOND MOST VALUABLE
FRANCHISE UNDER FIRE.
THIS SCATHING REMARK UNDER THE
ABUSES IN CHINA.
>> NOBODY CARES.
YOU BRING IT UP BECAUSE YOU
REALLY CARE.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOBODY
CARES?
>> THE REST OF US DON’T CARE.
I’M TELLING YOU A VERY HARD UGLY
TRUTH.
OF ALL THE THINGS I CARE ABOUT,
IT’S BELOW MY LINE.
>> I’M SORRY THE PLIGHT IS BELOW
HIS LINE.
COHOSTS WILL CAIN.
THIS OWNER DOESN’T CARE MUCH
ABOUT CHINA.
HE’S GOT BUSINESS TO DO.
>> HE DOES, BRIAN.
AND WHAT IT REVEALS HERE, YOU
CAN BE SOCIOPATHIC AND SHALLOW
AT THE SAME TIME.
HE HOLDS HIMSELF OUT IN THE
PODCAST AS UGLY TRUTH TELLER.
I’M JUST ON YOU THE WAY THAT IT
IS.
ON ONE LEVEL, MAYBE HE HAS A
POINT.
MAYBE PEOPLE DON’T CARE ENOUGH.
HE POINTS OUT THE ISSUES THAT
IMPACT US ON A DAILY BASIS ARE
ISSUES LIKE INFLATION NOR EMPTY
STORE SHELVES.
IN SOME WAYS, JUST THERE, HE
MIGHT BE RIGHT BUT HE DOESN’T
STOP THERE IN HIS LIFE.
HE DOESN’T REVEAL MORALITY IN
HIS LIFE.
HE REVEALS GOING WITH THE FLOW.
HE’S BEEN BEHIND THE PROTEST AND
PROTESTING AMERICAN INEQUALITY
ALONG WITH NBA PLAYERS.
THIS IS A GUY WHO’S COMPANY
WHOSE INVESTMENT VEHICLE IS
CALLED "SOCIAL CAPITAL" WHO
STATED PURPOSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE
ADVANCING SOLUTIONS TO THE
PROBLEMS THAT PLAGUE HUMANITY.
HUMANITY.
YET HERE HE IS, NOBODY CARES,
NOBODY CARES ABOUT, FORCED
STERILIZATION, CAMPS,
CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
HOW SHALLOW ALL THIS MORALITY
PLAY IS.
HE’S NOT A STRONG UGLY TRUTH
TELLER.
HE IS WEAK AND HE GOES ALONG
WITH THE FLOW.
HE DOESN’T STAND FOR MORALITY.
HE STANDS FOR WHAT HE STANDS TO
GAIN.
>> ULTIMATELY AFTER IT HIT THE
FAN, HE CALLED IN HIS
COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND IT TOOK
HIM TEN HOURS BUT THEY CAME UP
WITH A STATEMENT TO REACT TO THE
BACKLASH.
HE WROTE IN PART, "AND
RE-LISTENING TO THIS WEEK’S
PODCAST, I RECOGNIZE THAT I COME
ACROSS AS LACKING EMPATHY.
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ENTIRELY AS A
REFUGEE, MY FAMILY FLED A
COUNTRY WITH ITS OWN SET OF
HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY
MUCH A PART OF MY LIVED
EXPERIENCE.
TO BE CLEAR, MY BELIEF IS THAT
HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER WHETHER IN
CHINA, THE UNITED STATES OR
ELSEWHERE.
"IN OTHER WORDS, FORGET WHAT I
SAID EARLIER.
I CHANGED MY MIND.
>> NOT REALLY.
>> I DON’T KNOW THAT HE HAS
CHANGED HIS MIND.
I THINK HE IS --
HE CHANGED WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO
BELIEVE SO THAT HE CAN MOVE ON.
LET’S TALK ABOUT LIVED
EXPERIENCE.
HE’S A REFUGEE.
HE HAS PARTICULAR ABILITY TO
EMPATHIZE HIM AND THOUGH HE
DIDN’T REALLY LET IN THAT
ANSWER.
I’M COMING BACK TO THIS IDEA
THAT I SAID TO BRIAN.
IT’S HARD FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO
CARE ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ISSUE
ACROSS THE WORLD.
IT’S HARD FOR US TO PRIORITIZE
ON THE SAME LEVEL THINGS THAT
ARE FAR AWAY VERSUS THINGS THAT
ARE HOME.
THAT IS AN UGLY TRUTH.
HOWEVER -- NBA SUPERSTAR WHO
STOOD UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ON THE
WILL CAIN PODCAST AND I
CHALLENGED HIM.
I SAID THAT’S WHAT
LeBRON JAMES SAID.
I NEED TO HANDLE WHAT’S AT HOME,
WHAT HAPPENS IN CLEVELAND.
I CAN HANDLE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
STATE IN CHINA.
HIS ANSWER WAS AWESOME.
THIS ISN’T SOME ABSTRACT THING
FAR AWAY.
YOU DO BUSINESS THERE.
FROM 2016 UNTIL 2020, THE NBA
HAD A TRAINING CAMP IN THE STATE
CAPITOL WHERE THERE IS A
CONCENTRATION CAMP.
THIS ISN’T FAR AWAY.
HE’S PROFITING IN THE PLACE
WHERE THIS ATROCITY IS TAKING
PLACE.
YOU DON’T GET TO GO THIS IS FAR
AWAY AND IT IS LINE YOUR
POCKETS.
THAT IS THE SOCIOPATHIC PART.
>> I HEAR YOU.
GREAT POINT.
>> HE SAID WHEN NBA SAYS WE
STAND FOR JUSTICE, DON’T FORGET
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SELL THEIR
SOULS FOR MONEY AND BUSINESS
LIKE THIS GUY WHO SAYS NOBODY
CARES ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING
WHEN GENOCIDES HAPPEN, IT’S
PEOPLE LIKE THIS THAT LET IT
HAPPEN.
THANKS SO MUCH. GREAT TO SEE YOU.
