Hello, for Jackie Wright.
How are you?
>> Normal guy, like you speak English?
Sorry, sorry.
>> No, you can get out of the car.
>> The video you just watched featured a Lyft driver by the name of James Bowed,
who did not take kindly to the passenger who was surprised to see that he was
a white guy.
But that's only part of what happens,
it actually gets crazier when the woman's boyfriend gets involved.
Let's watch.
>> Like you speak English, sorry.
>> I know, you can get out of the car.
That's inappropriate, it's completely inappropriate.
If somebody was not white sitting in the seat, what would be the difference?
>> Are you serious?
>> She said while you're a white guy, that's okay,
I'm not gonna take the ride, you guys can get out.
>> Really?
>> Yeah, completely inappropriate, it's all on camera, it's all on camera.
You're gonna threaten me, because you guys are racist.
Yeah.
No, no, I'm calling the cops on you man, it's all on camera, it's all on camera.
You guys own the place, is it your place?
That's great, everyone's gonna know fossils last stand for
black people, right?
>> And he did in fact report this to the police and
posted the video on Facebook where it has since gone viral.
Police confirmed that the woman in the video is Jackie Harford who owns
fossils last stand a bar in Pennsylvania,
you could hear Bowed specifically mentioning it in the video as well.
And the man in the video has been identified at as Harford's boyfriend,
and co owner of the bar, but his name has not been released.
And so I really liked that story, because it's so rare to see,
I mean, in terms of like the news, right?
I'm sure this kind of stuff does happen regularly, but
in the news it's rare to see a white male stand up for the right reasons, right?
And to stand up against racists, and these people do exist, there's plenty of them.
And look, that could have devolved into something far worse, right?
What if those two decided to start assaulting him?
But he was brave, he stood, like stood up to them, and kicked him out of the car,
reported them to the authorities, and I love that.
>> Just earlier in the show as I was raging against right-wingers,
I told you guys do not make any assumptions.
And we've said this a million times on the show about based on race, because there's
tons of left-wingers who are white, [LAUGH] And who are wonderful people.
And probably the majority of the left-wing is white, [LAUGH] And so
they're wonderful people like that.
And Anna is right there all over the country, but
you don't often see them in the news, right?
And so we see them a lot, because you guys are our audience, every race,
every background is in our audience.
And so but it's great to see it happen in real life and somebody stand up,
but guys, so you'll see an interaction like that.
And if the guy hadn't said the last thing, and you might not have heard it, so
I wanna make it clear to you guys what the boyfriend said.
A lot of the right-wing like, what's the big deal man?
He got carried away, it's his fault,
blah, blah, blah, blah, because they love defending stuff like that.
At the end, the boyfriend called the guy an n-lover, the full phrase, okay?
Gee, I wonder if they were racist or not racist, that comes out of your mouth?
Obviously, they were racist all along.
>> Yeah, so let's talk about fossils last stand, that's the bar in Pennsylvania
that's owned by those two passengers who got kicked out of the car.
>> Those two racists.
>> Those two racists, yes.
Now, apparently it's known for it's questionable
clientele and the environment that they foster.
So a review of the bar from three years ago says this an ok biker bar I
guess although staff was complacent to the hostile environment
directed at minorities.
Sideways comments by hostile patrons were ignored and
disregarded by others, there was a bad vibe in the air.
Another review says racism earns you one star.
>> So these guys are not subtle.
>> Yeah, there's more, if I wanted to eat mediocre food made by mediocre racist and
a mediocre racist sundown town, I would have stayed in Spokane Washington.
Food is awful, owners are even worse, you eat this culinary herpes sore into
the sun, I don't know what it means in this context.
>> Okay, yeah, neither do I.
Okay, boomer's, okay.
All right, we throw it away apparently.
All right, I almost wish we saved like that last sentence so
that you could have all the right-wing go, it's not racism, it's not racism.
Maybe he just wanted to,
didn't want the white Uber drivers being replaced by immigrants, right?
And then of course, when he says, and lover you know, you know, and
apparently almost every customer that went in there knew,
I mean that's how brazen and obvious they were.
But all Republicans will say there's no racism in the country,
I don't know what you're talking about.
>> And by the way, James Bowed also I don't like,
he's getting some sort of like their fundraisers I guess.
And he's okay, let me give you a tweet, he says, for everyone reaching out and
showing support, thank you, I appreciate it, truly.
But this is the way it should be everywhere, every time,
I shouldn't be the guy who did it or said it.
We should all be that person speak up if you're uncomfortable with it because it
makes them uncomfortable as they should be, and then he says, F racism.
And then later, he says to a gentleman named Michael, well, Michael,
tweets at him and says, James, I'd like to amplify your act while allowing you to
remain somewhat anonymous if you'd like, could you dm me.
He says, hi Michael, I see that you've organized some kind of, excuse me,
some kind of campaign to raise money.
And while the gesture is more than appreciated,
so many have already shown similar generosity.
I would love if any and all proceeds for
your campaign would be donated to the Buffalo victims.
>> That's a great guy, so that is wonderful of him.
>> It's been a dark time in America, very dark time.
And we need to acknowledge that people like Bowed exist to make sure that
we don't fall into like this cycle of despair, and hatred honestly, right?
And fear, because again, like I know we already said it, but there are incredibly
courageous, wonderful people out there who are fighting for the right things.
And we've got to remember that and join them in solidarity, right?
>> I'll tell you the party together 100%, and I love all of that.
But part of the reason why we're so
animated on the show is because people keep gaslighting us and
is the racism coming from the right-wing or the left-wing?
That's not a question, it's obviously coming from the right-wing,
it's part of their ideology.
So when the mainstream media says, well, I just don't criticize Republican voters,
don't criticize the right-wing, their feelings are super important.
You don't even call them ultra mega, don't call how dare you?
How dare you, right?
No, I see it with my own eyes, you see it every day with your own eyes.
So we're not gonna deny reality, so we're gonna call it like it is,
I'm not gonna do Kumbaya with racist right-wingers.
Now, having said that, it's wonderful to see that there are people putting out
positive things in the world.
And then in that case, by the way, he didn't do it with hugs or kisses either,
there was a conflict that was created, right?
So he stood up when he needed to stand up.
But it was just refreshing to finally see somebody stand up for us,
especially those of us on the left, because almost none of
our politicians ever do it or any of our so called leaders.
So we need Rando Uber drivers or Lyft drivers to stand up for us, so
we could actually have champions on our side.
