0:00:05.864,0:00:07.905
The world is changing.

0:00:08.861,0:00:13.380
Its shifts have been subtle, [br]imperceptible even.

0:00:13.380,0:00:19.210
And yet now, as I fly over the Atlantic, [br]something's erupting.

0:00:19.210,0:00:22.686
Its rumblings have been long felt[br]in Europe.

0:00:22.686,0:00:27.849
And yet, it is in America, where it is [br]finding its drama, its crescendo,

0:00:27.849,0:00:29.609
its face.

0:00:29.609,0:00:36.693
If I were a sociologist, I might call this[br]phenomenon, national populism.

0:00:36.693,0:00:42.289
And yet, being someone who seeks to [br]understand the world through its people

0:00:42.289,0:00:46.738
I'm hesitant to begin this documentary by[br]ascribing labels.

0:00:47.298,0:00:50.088
I am here because I'm seeking an [br]understanding

0:00:50.088,0:00:55.640
not of what I've read about populism, but[br]through the untold story

0:00:55.640,0:00:58.258
of what lies before me.

0:00:58.258,0:01:04.003
I'm arriving in America with no fixed[br]route, a shoestring budget, no team

0:01:04.003,0:01:05.539
and few contacts.

0:01:06.495,0:01:10.724
And yet, what I'm certain of, is that I [br]will be touching down

0:01:10.724,0:01:13.369
at a critical moment in its history

0:01:13.369,0:01:17.981
There is an election ahead, but I'll be [br]running a different type of campaign.

0:01:18.358,0:01:23.905
It is one without party affiliation, lobby[br]groups or the seeking of political power.

0:01:23.905,0:01:29.046
Rather, it is a campaign to seek the [br]elusive heart of America.

0:01:29.046,0:01:34.353
And if she be willing, to narrate the [br]story she wishes to tell.

0:01:35.129,0:01:37.973
As an outsider, passing through.

0:02:00.350,0:02:03.910
NEW YORK[br](flight announcement)

0:02:13.104,0:02:16.300
I have arrived in New York and America is[br]before me.

0:02:16.300,0:02:21.813
My heart is beating and in being alone[br]as I arrrive on this great continent

0:02:21.813,0:02:25.832
I think of the thousands of migrants who[br]have touched upon her shores,

0:02:25.832,0:02:30.891
drawn by the calling of a fresh start, a [br]dream of liberty, or in many cases,

0:02:30.891,0:02:33.467
the promise of freedom from tyranny.

0:02:36.284,0:02:40.848
The sense of being an outsider will never[br]leave me in America, yet in some ways

0:02:40.848,0:02:45.245
will help me, in shaping my understanding [br]of what it is to be truly American,

0:02:45.245,0:02:50.576
especially, as the fear of the other [br]becomes used as an electioneering tactic.

0:02:52.825,0:02:55.925
Where does one start with the madness of [br]America?

0:02:55.925,0:02:58.871
How does American politics work? [br]Shit! I don't know!

0:02:58.871,0:03:01.578
Its conflicting ideas?

0:03:01.578,0:03:07.109
But I'm saying Bernie and Trump are the [br]same person. Two old white men with a

0:03:07.109,0:03:08.649
different version of tan.[br]- No, I'm just sayin' that popular...

0:03:08.649,0:03:11.815
Its clashing ideals[br]Didn't Al Gore win the prime vote? - OK

0:03:11.815,0:03:13.213
Its cultural vivacity.

0:03:13.213,0:03:16.679
Hillary is only gonna win because [br]its bad cop versus worse cop.

0:03:17.522,0:03:20.007
Kaleidoscopic intelligence of its people.

0:03:20.007,0:03:22.057
She told me in 9th grade, [br]if you wanna know

0:03:22.057,0:03:24.462
how anything works in this country[br]you follow the money.

0:03:24.462,0:03:26.540
Or the magnetism of its energy.

0:03:26.540,0:03:31.261
Even in black America there's a hierarchy:[br]light skin versus dark skin, long hair,

0:03:31.261,0:03:33.365
short hair, kinky hair. [br]What does that mean?

0:03:33.365,0:03:38.919
I realized that I was stepping into a [br]cacophony of ideas, emotions and history.

0:03:38.919,0:03:42.062
I decided that rather than trying to order[br]America...

0:03:42.062,0:03:45.941
And you're gonna give a guy whose tagline[br]is "You're fired!" the nuke code? - Yes

0:03:45.941,0:03:52.128
...that I would acquiesce to its madness, [br]its inspiration, its narrative.

0:03:52.128,0:03:56.916
My first task was not to try to make sense[br]of her, but to listen.

0:03:56.916,0:04:00.778
We're not founded on inclusive, we're [br]founded on freedom. The idea that everyone

0:04:00.778,0:04:10.411
here, who believes in what we believe in, is[br]cool. That's not inclusive, that's an agreement.

0:04:10.411,0:04:15.547
The immigrants? I'm talking about the [br]immigrants throughout the last 300 years have

0:04:15.547,0:04:19.595
used the Statue of Liberty as a sign of[br]freedom - Right

0:04:19.595,0:04:25.103
and escape from religious persecution [br]and ethnic persecution.

0:04:25.103,0:04:26.085
There already is a fence,

0:04:26.085,0:04:28.857
so what's the difference[br]between a fence and a wall, right?

0:04:28.857,0:04:33.587
(Jim) So it's a metaphor like...[br]- it's a metaphor. It speaks for a bunch of hate.

0:04:33.587,0:04:36.691
But there's already a fence up there right?

0:04:36.691,0:04:43.318
They see, you know, these <i>mamasitas</i> and [br]they hear all these things about Hispanics

0:04:43.318,0:04:48.450
being rapists and the women coming in and just[br]being nothing more than cleaners,

0:04:48.450,0:04:52.983
and people to do your backwork shit. Then they see [br]9/11 and they hear about the Chelsea

0:04:52.983,0:04:56.949
bombing so you know they're gonna blame [br]ISIS. It's like let's fuck all these

0:04:56.949,0:05:00.313
people up. And they are on board with it.

0:05:00.313,0:05:05.763
We're an oil industry town and for us if[br]the oil industry isn't turning, we're not

0:05:05.763,0:05:12.108
making money so there's all these workers[br]but there is no money. There's very much a

0:05:12.108,0:05:21.711
sense of other. Anybody who says that [br]racism is not alive in America in 2016 is

0:05:21.711,0:05:28.224
fucking crazy. Bottom line. Racism is [br]alive and well. It's a problem. And it needs to

0:05:28.224,0:05:31.497
be addressed. I don't want my daughter [br]growing up in a world the way it is today.

0:05:35.237,0:05:38.874
I've woken up on a beautiful morning [br]in New York.

0:05:38.893,0:05:42.543
I have the feeling that I am within life [br]and the first sense

0:05:42.543,0:05:45.720
that America is willing to share [br]her story with me.

0:05:56.703,0:06:02.341
My head is buzzing with conversations of[br]Trump's war, race, immigration, feminism

0:06:02.341,0:06:07.805
and I want to go out into life and be part[br]of the ongoing dialogue of the city.

0:06:08.283,0:06:08.952
WHAT OF HOUSING

0:06:09.022,0:06:14.148
There's the greedy and the super rich that[br]come in and use this as a playground

0:06:14.148,0:06:17.878
and just spit on it and leave.[br]- Right

0:06:17.878,0:06:22.472
These people are so wealthy but they don't[br]even live here. So that's one reality.

0:06:22.472,0:06:26.907
Then you have the reality of people who[br]are homeless, who are ill and there's

0:06:26.907,0:06:32.208
nobody interested, or capable, or can afford[br]to help them. So they just drift around here

0:06:32.208,0:06:39.732
and they're a real nuisance. I know I [br]sound reactionary and crazy, but it's sad.

0:06:39.732,0:06:45.065
We read about populism as a social [br]phenomenon and yet what is it really?

0:06:45.065,0:06:50.934
As I listened to New Yorkers speak of the[br]consequences of exploding house prices

0:06:50.934,0:06:55.749
I began to understand the profound impact[br]it has on the different earning brackets

0:06:55.749,0:06:57.303
of society.

0:06:57.303,0:07:04.502
Radical wealth disparity seems to be creating[br]anger and jealousy at those looking upwards

0:07:04.502,0:07:08.988
and yet simultaneously a frustration and [br]lack of empathy looking downwards.

0:07:08.988,0:07:15.956
It felt a profound signifier of social [br]decohesion and I was fascinated to hear

0:07:15.956,0:07:19.828
how these phenomenons were playing out [br]in the lives of normal people.

0:07:19.828,0:07:26.175
Many American families across the United [br]States if they lose their jobs they're two,

0:07:26.175,0:07:30.858
three months from being homeless. I can't[br]even contemplate what that means.

0:07:30.858,0:07:34.601
That means if you lose a job, that two,[br]three months later, if you don't get a

0:07:34.601,0:07:39.671
substitute job and your car breaks down [br]you can't fix it or you can't pay your

0:07:39.671,0:07:43.396
rent, you're homeless. I mean this is the [br]wealthiest country in the world?

0:07:43.396,0:07:48.589
And understanding why people are voting[br]for populists has to gravitate in the

0:07:48.589,0:07:53.779
reality that the issues are profound and [br]real. Even people who would never vote

0:07:53.779,0:07:59.091
for populists, seemed as animated by the[br]challenges of immigration, social security

0:07:59.091,0:08:01.350
and housing as those who would.

0:08:01.350,0:08:05.318
How can you have a Hitler, how can you[br]have a Mussolini? I mean how can you have

0:08:05.318,0:08:10.709
that? With the Trump thing you get a [br]little insight of how people are so angry

0:08:10.709,0:08:13.020
that they will vote for a madman.

0:08:13.561,0:08:19.541
Hitler came in because they were economically[br]on their knees and I think, even though

0:08:19.541,0:08:23.293
you come to New York City and you see [br]there's a lot of wealth and entertainment

0:08:23.293,0:08:28.870
and it's fun and people live here, and we're[br]not on our knees, but a good part of

0:08:28.870,0:08:35.621
America, the backbones of America are on[br]their knees. So why that can't happen again

0:08:35.621,0:08:37.706
and here we go, we've got Trump.

0:08:37.706,0:08:39.417
GAZBE + THE HUMAN HEART

0:08:39.417,0:08:42.705
I walk from Central Park, grateful for the[br]honesty of the conversation, but feeling

0:08:42.705,0:08:44.994
melancholic about the state of things.

0:08:44.994,0:08:49.208
- Poetic right now or do I sound high? [br]- Poetic. - Alright, poetic it is.

0:08:49.208,0:08:54.768
As if by design, a chance encounter with[br]some young men reframed the narrative.

0:08:54.768,0:08:59.457
(Jim) That's fucking beautiful man. What's[br]this song called?

0:08:59.457,0:09:03.509
- About my business.[br]- This is amazing. The law of attraction

0:09:03.509,0:09:09.016
is so amazing and so heavily active and[br]present.

0:09:09.785,0:09:16.002
(Jim) It's like Spiderman. There he goes, [br]up there. (laughter)

0:09:16.002,0:09:18.520
(Jim) ...location change[br]- Oh yeah

0:09:18.520,0:09:25.661
There was an indescribable energy of [br]serendipity and connection. Within minutes

0:09:25.661,0:09:28.731
we decided spontaneously [br]to film a music video.

0:09:28.731,0:09:32.812

We touch, we see, we feel, everything.[br]- With lack of knowledge you do irrational things,

I don't know why, but as human beings we [br]so often forget the gifts we have and the

0:11:36.325,0:11:41.818
blessings of each day. For the first time[br]my investigation into populism had

0:11:41.818,0:11:47.535
penetrated the realm of intellect and[br]issues. And in a chance meeting, the illusory

0:11:47.535,0:11:54.150
boundaries we hold up as human beings were [br]being dismantled. New York was revealing

0:11:54.150,0:11:59.091

0:13:16.744,0:13:22.605
Because you have so much tax [br]you have to pay.

0:13:22.605,0:13:27.559
Not an easy thing to do. The economy is [br]really tough right now.

0:13:27.559,0:13:29.587
Alright sweetie, be good.

0:13:29.587,0:13:36.143
(Jim) Where do your customers come from?[br]- Guyana, Trinidad, Barbados, England

0:13:36.143,0:13:41.621
New Zealand, Australia, Mexico. All over[br]the world they are from.

0:13:41.621,0:13:47.016
Then you have a lot of crazy people just[br]like Donald Trump. So anything can happen.

0:13:54.105,0:13:58.746
We're the creation of the American dream.[br]We want people to dream about coming to

0:13:58.994,0:14:02.328
America, thinking that they're gonna have[br]freedom and opportunity like everything's

0:14:02.328,0:14:05.530
thrown at them, but in reality, like you [br]said, you have to work for it.

0:14:05.530,0:14:11.069
Every race has an individual that has a [br]dream. It's just fortunate that America

0:14:11.069,0:14:14.336
is where you can seek it. You get the [br]opportunity to do whatever you want.

0:14:14.336,0:14:15.239
A PHILOSOPHY OF EVERYHING

0:14:15.239,0:14:19.135
American dream is a opportunity, for [br]people to be here and make themselves

0:14:19.135,0:14:24.730
profitable in this country. And whatever[br]car you want, you can go whatever place

0:14:24.730,0:14:30.319
you want. Restaurants that say[br]"Come here." I won't clean the dishes

0:14:30.319,0:14:34.289
'cause I was born here. I was born in this[br]house, you know what I'm tryin' to say?

0:14:34.289,0:14:38.699
They got hoods in Germany, they got dudes, tatted up,[br]smokin' weed and they're white.

0:14:38.699,0:14:41.055
You know what I'm tryin' to say?[br]Why does every president have to keep bein'

0:14:41.055,0:14:45.575
70, 80 years old? That's crazy. You know[br]what I'm tryin' to say? Like Michael Phelps,

0:14:45.575,0:14:51.967
he's a modern-day white person, you know [br]what I'm tryin' to say? Once they make up

0:14:51.967,0:14:56.483
for this error then it will be the [br]constitution of 2016, not 17 whatever, you

0:14:56.483,0:15:00.387
know what I'm tryin' to say? Horses will[br]never be replaced by cars, are you crazy?

0:15:00.387,0:15:05.192
And what she goin' "Nah, yo, don't do it yo,[br]don't listen to them, yo.

0:15:05.192,0:15:08.674
The shepherds look back, and go [br]let me shoot that sheep real quick!

0:15:08.674,0:15:09.674
He 'bout to f<b>ck up my whole f</b>ing plan...

0:15:09.674,0:15:14.700
We're gonna make you the president, [br]you know what I'm tryin' to say?

0:15:14.700,0:15:17.899
We're not listening to y'all no more. [br]Y'all fucking up America.

0:15:17.899,0:15:22.870
Y'all be fucking up the economy. You're fucking up mass shit.[br]And there's new ideas out here.

0:15:22.870,0:15:26.482
It's 2016. It's psychological. You know [br]what I'm tryin' to say?

0:15:26.482,0:15:30.347
I don't believe somebody took a rocket [br]ship up there. I don't believe that earth

0:15:30.347,0:15:34.724
is round ass ball. You know what I'm[br]tryin' to say? No one knows really where

0:15:34.724,0:15:37.849
this shit came from. You know what I'm[br]tryin' to say? You don't know this is earth.

0:15:37.849,0:15:42.730
This shit man. You don't know what this [br]is. You don't know, you never know.

0:15:42.730,0:15:44.729
Yo, I'm gonna tell you somethin'...

0:15:44.729,0:15:50.349
You don't know how the continents look,[br]you never been a million miles in the air.

0:15:50.349,0:15:55.134
You take Florida, you don't know which way[br]Florida is... who made the word plain?

0:15:58.066,0:16:01.539
I never did figure out exactly what James [br]was trying to say, ...

0:16:01.539,0:16:05.421
- That's what I'm tryin' to say.[br]...but somehow his kaleidoscopic mish-mash

0:16:05.421,0:16:10.831
of similes, metaphors, allegories and [br]analogies reflected the vastness of the

0:16:10.831,0:16:16.403
American experience and the challenge[br]before me of attempting to understand it.

0:16:17.011,0:16:17.592
THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

0:16:21.242,0:16:26.058
I'd been eagerly absorbing the colors and[br]musings of the New York street.

0:16:26.379,0:16:30.618
Hillary's got more experience and she is[br]the better candidate. Trump's not ready

0:16:30.618,0:16:31.936
for it. Simple.

0:16:31.936,0:16:35.099
Tonight, however, the election cycle would[br]truly kick off.

0:16:35.099,0:16:41.074
I'm in Harlem and have managed to wing a[br]ticket into the world famous Apollo Theater.

0:16:41.074,0:16:45.750
But this is a man who has called women[br]pigs, slobs and dogs.

0:16:45.750,0:16:48.759
I don't feel as if it's show business. I[br]think it's pretty serious.

0:16:48.759,0:16:51.557
And I'm very nervous about it.

0:16:51.557,0:16:53.987
I also have a much better temperament than[br]she has. (boo-ing)

0:16:53.987,0:16:59.367
Nature says: Act now or else.

0:16:59.367,0:17:04.549
Donald thinks that climate change is a [br]hoax, perpetrated by the Chinese. I think

0:17:04.549,0:17:05.290
it's real. (laughter)

0:17:05.290,0:17:13.319
Hillary mentioned that she is going to[br]make fighting global warming a priority.

0:17:13.436,0:17:17.526
Donald was one of the people who rooted[br]for the housing crisis. He said, back in

0:17:17.526,0:17:23.343
2006: Gee, I hope it does collapse, then I[br]can go in and buy some and make some money.

0:17:23.343,0:17:26.320
- Well it did collapse. Nine million people.[br]- That's called business.

0:17:26.320,0:17:33.621
You know what I think Trump is? He's like,[br]what do they call that? You know, when the

0:17:33.621,0:17:38.048
End comes, the rapture and all that? Tribulation?[br]He's like. - Satan incarnate.

0:17:38.048,0:17:44.251
- I'll be reducing taxes tremendously.[br]- You haven't paid any federal income tax.

0:17:47.531,0:17:51.780
That's going to be a job creator like we[br]haven't seen since Ronald Reagan.

0:17:51.780,0:17:54.154
It's going to be a beautiful thing to watch.

0:17:54.154,0:18:00.229
It's really unfortunate that he paints[br]such a dire, negative picture

0:18:00.496,0:18:03.518
of black communities in our country.

0:18:03.518,0:18:08.619
African American communities are being[br]decimated by crime.

0:18:08.619,0:18:14.326
- What are you gonna do with this?[br]- You can't make this stuff up. (laughs)

0:18:16.935,0:18:22.468
African Americans, Hispanics are living in[br]hell, because it's so dangerous.

0:18:22.468,0:18:25.301
You walk down the street, you get shot.

0:18:25.301,0:18:30.503
'Cause I think you were able to stand [br]taller, you know and I think Americans,

0:18:30.503,0:18:35.987
that's when color didn't even matter[br]anymore. It was just about: Wow, I'm so proud

0:18:35.987,0:18:40.557
to be an American. Now you wanna put your[br]head in the sand and be like: OK, so I

0:18:40.557,0:18:44.001
have my passport, and I'm hidin' it. [br](laughs)

0:18:44.001,0:18:49.826
I wanna make America great again. We are a[br]nation that is seriously troubled. We're

0:18:49.826,0:18:53.324
losing our jobs, people are pouring into[br]our country.

THE STATE OF AMERICA

0:19:12.895,0:19:16.411
Watching the debate, we were witnessing a[br]clash of archetypes.

0:19:16.411,0:19:22.172
As an alpha male disruptor clashed with a[br]schooled female establishment figure.

0:19:22.172,0:19:27.677
Again race and immigration came to the[br]forefront. Trump's use of fear and

0:19:27.677,0:19:33.034
dramatization as an electioneering tactic[br]contrasted sharply with Clinton's reasoned

0:19:33.034,0:19:38.186
and studied inclusivity. America was being [br]presented with the starkest of choices

0:19:38.186,0:19:43.391
and again, I turned to the genius of the[br]streets to summarize the crossroads at

0:19:43.391,0:19:44.521
which she had arrived.

0:19:44.521,0:19:50.039
Hey Jim, what's goin' on? I'll see you in[br]about ten minutes, alright, bud?

0:19:50.039,0:19:55.168
Keep goin'. That makes it official.[br](Jim laughs)

0:19:55.168,0:19:57.876
(Jim) [br]Don had lived the most colorful of lives.

0:19:57.876,0:20:00.521
From experiencing war in the US military...

0:20:00.521,0:20:04.240
(Don) The Berlin wall did not fall[br]because they used bad concrete.

0:20:04.240,0:20:08.209
The Berlin wall fell because of my team. [br](laughing)

0:20:09.373,0:20:11.778
(Jim) ... to being a barber to the stars.

0:20:12.007,0:20:15.242
It isn´t a state - it is capital. [br]It is life.

0:20:15.242,0:20:17.317
I use this to cut through the bullshit.

0:20:17.317,0:20:20.102
I use this to cut rid of the past[br]of yesterday.

0:20:20.102,0:20:23.690
(Jim) Sensing my confusion[br]about the state of America,

0:20:23.690,0:20:25.992
he took me under his wing, and

0:20:25.992,0:20:28.991
in introducing me to the[br]inner life of Harlem

0:20:28.991,0:20:32.197
allowed me to experience it[br]not as an outsider

0:20:32.197,0:20:35.346
but from within its very heart.

0:20:35.346,0:20:37.493
It brings my intelligence down [br]a notch to answer

0:20:37.493,0:20:43.603
Trump´s, Donald Trump´s,[br]you know ... just semantics.

0:20:43.603,0:20:47.928
(Jim) My central take-away from the debate[br]was not about the issues themselves

0:20:47.928,0:20:50.879
but about the voices the candidates [br]were bringing to them.

0:20:50.879,0:20:53.627
You wanna know the state of America?

0:20:53.627,0:20:55.325
From my perspective:

0:20:55.325,0:20:58.597
It´s very volatile right now.

0:20:58.597,0:21:04.138
How do you feel about New York[br]switching up, flipping up, the way it has?

0:21:04.138,0:21:06.078
`Cause I feel a little way...[br](Woman) It up-rooted!

0:21:06.078,0:21:07.870
You know why? Because we don't[br]stick together.

0:21:07.870,0:21:09.292
That´s just straight how it is.

0:21:09.292,0:21:11.702
We too busy like crabs in a barrel [br]tryin´to pull you down

0:21:11.702,0:21:13.545
'cause you make a dollar...

0:21:14.045,0:21:17.304
(Jim) Trump is using fears as a tactic[br]to divide people and to make

0:21:17.304,0:21:19.735
different groups afraid of one another.

0:21:19.958,0:21:24.078
I was curious if this fear was something[br]populism is inserting into society

0:21:24.078,0:21:28.467
or if I can see evidence with nascence[br]on the streets themselves.

0:21:28.467,0:21:33.624
We tend to protect the Donald Trumps[br]for some strange reason.

0:21:33.624,0:21:36.459
I´m ain't making it, so I´m hatin', [br]you know, dislikin' you,

0:21:36.459,0:21:37.773
I ain't gonna talk to street, like:

0:21:37.773,0:21:39.756
dislikin´you ´cause [br]you makin´some for yourself.

0:21:39.756,0:21:43.128
And I´m too busy being negative tryin´[br]like, how do you say,

0:21:43.128,0:21:45.283
tryin' to kick you down with me instead of

0:21:45.283,0:21:50.783
being united and we could come up together[br]but a lot of people don´t think like that.

0:21:50.783,0:21:59.840
How was he even closely in the runnings[br]for the highest political position of the world?

0:21:59.840,0:22:05.094
This is the state of mind of the world[br]right now. We are not looking for a good,

0:22:05.094,0:22:12.372
pious leader. We are looking for[br]the best cheater.

of the African-American community [br]in New York.

0:22:32.511,0:22:36.104
Ahead of me now lay Ohio - [br]where an old Italian American friend

0:22:36.104,0:22:39.894
Terry Roncagli had invited me[br]to stay in his basement.

0:22:39.894,0:22:43.552
And where I hoped to find the next piece[br]in the jigsaw of America.

0:22:44.484,0:22:46.214

But I feel like, in the end,[br]Hillary's gonna win.

0:24:07.496,0:24:13.733
I tell you what. Fricking Hillary is an[br]entitled politician, who has done nothing.

0:24:13.733,0:24:18.542
Trump is an entrepreneur who has [br]actually been a business man.

0:24:18.542,0:24:21.992
(cheering for joy) Yeah!

0:24:26.946,0:24:31.770
(Jim): I had been welcomed into the[br]rituals, culture and hospitality of Ohio

0:24:31.896,0:24:33.823
by Terry´s family and friends.

0:24:33.823,0:24:35.697
(cheer and laughter)

0:24:35.697,0:24:41.351
I was fascinated how Ohio´s famous[br]swing state status was reflected evenly

0:24:41.351,0:24:43.243
in this intimate friendship group.

0:24:43.709,0:24:46.544
Whereas Obama had won[br]handsomely twice in Ohio,

0:24:46.544,0:24:50.696
the polls in early October were [br]neck-and-neck between Trump and Clinton.

0:24:50.696,0:24:54.197
I wanted to dive deeper into[br]the heart and mind of Ohio,

0:24:54.197,0:24:57.021
and asked Terry, if he would drive me[br]to Cleveland.

0:24:57.021,0:24:59.802
(Terry) Walmart is the largest employer in Ohio,

0:24:59.802,0:25:02.004
and is also the largest employer[br]in the nation.

0:25:02.004,0:25:05.673
When I was a kid growing up, the largest[br]employers were the steel industry and

0:25:05.673,0:25:12.207
the auto-industry. Everyone had good[br]raises, good benefits, health care

0:25:12.207,0:25:14.202
and we don't have that any more.

0:25:14.202,0:25:17.458
(Jim) As Terry told me about the[br]changing face of Ohio,

0:25:17.458,0:25:21.751
I wondered about the social impact of[br]these disappearing industries

0:25:21.751,0:25:23.140
on normal people.

0:25:23.140,0:25:25.823
I felt that to understand the human effect

0:25:25.823,0:25:30.823
I needed to witness the reality[br]of the loss of manufacturing first hand.

0:25:30.823,0:25:32.565
- Hey bro! [br]- My name is Jim, what´s your name?

0:25:32.565,0:25:33.427
- I´m Stutz

0:25:33.427,0:25:35.943
It turned out that my guide would [br]once again appear

0:25:35.943,0:25:38.340
in the most unlikely of places.

0:25:38.340,0:25:39.382
THE NEW GILDED AGE

0:25:39.382,0:25:41.433
It´s the new Gilded Age.[br]None of these people have to pay tax.

0:25:41.433,0:25:46.425
Only the working people are taxed to[br]like a quarter of their income.

0:25:46.425,0:25:49.833
And we don't get much in return, because[br]the infrastructure's falling apart,

0:25:49.833,0:25:51.912
the school system's falling apart.[br]The health care is a joke.

0:25:51.912,0:25:56.431
The only thing that keeps this together is[br]that people are so mollified by

0:25:56.431,0:26:01.070
Walmart and the Kardashians that they[br]don't revolt. As long as they get,

0:26:01.070,0:26:06.082
as long as they can keep 500[br]TV channels going, everybody will just

0:26:06.082,0:26:08.316
just sit there "uhhh..." (imitates a[br]foolish sound), you know: transfixed.

0:26:08.316,0:26:11.486
(in a high-pitched voice) I'm gonna [br]deconstruct some pizza, son! (laughs)

0:26:14.186,0:26:17.975
(Jim) I hit it off with the brilliantly [br]named Stutz Bearcat.

0:26:18.115,0:26:20.986
By evening we were bonded by beer,[br]Buddhism and music.

0:26:21.596,0:26:25.566
Buddhism demands that you become[br]who you are.

0:26:25.966,0:26:27.352
That's the demand of Buddhism.

0:26:27.352,0:26:31.204
As you practice every day you become[br]what it is that you are.

0:26:31.204,0:26:35.045
And what it is, I need, I'm right now,[br]I'm a guy that needs a sip of beer.

0:26:35.045,0:26:37.700
(♪ plays a fast melody on the guitar ♪)

0:26:37.700,0:26:41.133
(Jim) Knowing I was hungry for insight[br]in to the state of America, the next days he

0:26:41.133,0:26:47.087
introduced me to some of the impacts of [br]the waning of the steel manufacturing

0:26:47.087,0:26:49.440
automobile industries in the Rust Belt.

0:26:52.480,0:26:55.538
Here there's always trillions and [br]trillions of dollars to go to war.

0:26:55.538,0:27:00.800
To bomb some unfortunate people that[br]happen to be walkin' around on high-grade crude.

0:27:00.800,0:27:04.790
There is always the money for that. There's never money for the infrastructure.

0:27:05.236,0:27:06.726
The city is collapsing.

0:27:06.909,0:27:12.660
And this is what we wind up with. You know,[br]the skeletons that we have to walk over.

0:27:12.660,0:27:16.102
The skeletons that the capitalist system [br]leaves behind.

0:27:16.102,0:27:21.033
OK, this is the old Richman Brothers[br]tailoring company, from probably

0:27:21.033,0:27:26.551
1920 to 1970, maybe even earlier. But this[br]is it, goes for blocks and blocks and

0:27:26.551,0:27:31.168
there are just thousands and thousands of[br]men that worked here and they fed their

0:27:31.168,0:27:34.990
families working in this place. And now[br]all these jobs are in China.

0:27:34.990,0:27:38.962
The people are chained to some fucking[br]desk where they have nets outside the

0:27:38.962,0:27:42.565
windows so they don´t jump out and kill[br]themselves. And all these jobs are in

0:27:42.565,0:27:45.640
China with people making, what? [br]30 cents an hour, 20 cents an hour now.

hundreds of people working, you know,[br]three shifts. They went all day.

(Jim) I felt lifted by this brilliant [br]interaction by an American raconteur and

0:29:42.503,0:29:45.335
a Chinese entrepreneur.

0:29:45.950,0:29:49.673
The Richman building was closed by its[br]American owners - Woolworth -

0:29:49.673,0:29:51.746
in the early 1990s.

0:29:51.746,0:29:56.798
Even if the boom-and-bust capitalism Stutz[br]described is responsible for its closure,

0:29:56.798,0:30:01.220
spaces like this were being easily[br]appropriated by Trump as dire

0:30:01.317,0:30:04.343
consequences of a globalized world.

0:30:04.652,0:30:07.229
Once again, I was confronted by a paradox:

0:30:07.229,0:30:11.590
It was, after all, the Chinese who were [br]at last planning to resurrect

0:30:11.590,0:30:14.758
this great icon of American manufacturing.

whoah, this is too close.

0:30:27.198,0:30:31.199
Years ago, everbody was - you didn´t have [br]to be a genius to get a job.

0:30:31.199,0:30:34.283
You could just go out, get a job[br]working in a factory.

0:30:34.283,0:30:41.841
Maybe, Mr Obama is part of the Muslim[br]faith, bringing America down with that.

0:30:41.841,0:30:47.239
And yet, you know, Hillary - no matter[br]what she does - I think it's feminist.

0:30:47.239,0:30:51.241
I think it's a problem with men have [br]with women.

0:30:51.241,0:30:55.274
They are attacking her on grounds that [br]they would never attack a white male on.

(Jim) It was nearly time to leave [br]Cleveland,

0:30:58.632,0:31:01.171
and my mind felt more frazzled than ever.

0:31:01.171,0:31:07.215
I decided, the only thing to do, was [br]to ask a man who'd sold over two million

0:31:07.215,0:31:08.957
hot dogs, to help make sense of things.

For the first time, talk of the election[br]is muted.

And yet the topic of race is thrust[br]front and center into the national debate.

0:34:09.600,0:34:13.998
I would just say that we haven't made much[br]progress from, you know, the early 1900s.

the fear is ingrained in them.[br]♪ (soft piano music raising) ♪

But, when it comes down to it, it goes by[br]what you show and not what you say.

Like me personally I think we failed.[br]I feel like society is repeating itself...

Which is why it´s so easy for them to [br]go out and execute. The system has been

designed: fear the black man, kill the[br]black man, exterminate the black man,

0:35:09.742,0:35:11.187
put the black man in prison.

0:35:11.187,0:35:16.772

It is hard to describe how the feeling [br]changes as one drives south.

0:44:12.664,0:44:15.704
You notice it in the landscape.

0:44:15.704,0:44:19.172
Hear it in the accents.

0:44:19.172,0:44:23.158
But more so, in the caress of the air around you.

0:44:23.158,0:44:25.988
There is an ease of being as it envelops you.

0:44:25.988,0:44:29.610
As if you can breathe in a new way.

0:44:29.610,0:44:32.043
There is a sense of inversion when in [br]the South.

0:44:32.043,0:44:38.920
As if, in slowing, you can hear America's plurality[br]of voices with greater clarity.

0:44:38.920,0:44:45.014
And with it a recognition that to truly[br]understand America

0:44:45.014,0:44:47.706
each one must be heard.

and what kind of money you have.

New Orleans is in a constant state of decay.

0:46:52.318,0:46:57.884
It's the lowest place in America[br]but it is a beautiful type of decay.

0:46:57.884,0:47:03.467
It's a fascinating type of decay because [br]the leaves are turning yellow.

0:47:03.467,0:47:09.246
There is always something bright green[br]coming right up with it.

Louisiana is teeming with life[br]and really has a longing for life.

A BEAUTIFUL STATE OF DECAY

0:47:15.107,0:47:18.081
It's everywhere. And it's beautiful.

You know, everybody has to [br]watch what you say

0:47:22.630,0:47:24.081
to be politically correct.

0:47:24.423,0:47:28.237
This just started the last two years.[br]It's like "oh my god."

0:47:28.237,0:47:31.688
Like the statues. You know the statues[br]have been in New Orleans for

0:47:31.688,0:47:33.823
I don't even know how many years.

0:47:33.823,0:47:35.538
What I discovered in the South

0:47:35.538,0:47:39.226
was not a sense of wanting to ignore [br]or forget history.

0:47:39.226,0:47:43.091
But a feeling that it had come to terms[br]with its own past.

0:47:43.091,0:47:45.218
Look but they want to tear down a statue though.

0:47:45.218,0:47:48.685
They couldn't. It was hard find a racist in New Orleans.

0:47:48.685,0:47:53.268
They tried to start all that stuff but we're all been married to each other.

0:47:53.268,0:47:54.141
We don't have colors here.

0:47:54.141,0:47:55.440
We have shades.

0:47:55.440,0:47:59.212
We, New Orleans, have been [br]mixed for so many years.

0:47:59.212,0:48:00.488
Oh my god.

0:48:00.488,0:48:04.752
They try to start all that racial stuff.[br]That stuff doesn't work with us.

0:48:04.752,0:48:07.110
Never has. Never will.

0:48:08.650,0:48:14.405
It seemed that the South felt itself[br]appropriated by the so-called culture wars,

0:48:14.688,0:48:15.874
CULTURE WARS

0:48:15.874,0:48:17.897
embodied by the removal of [br]confederate statues.

0:48:17.897,0:48:20.610
How many years? And now all of sudden[br]they're racist

0:48:20.610,0:48:23.688
or somebody is being offended by a statue.[br]Give me a freaking break.

0:48:23.688,0:48:28.622
The politicization of culture was [br]dredging up old divisions

0:48:28.622,0:48:30.658
of racial tension,

0:48:30.658,0:48:33.952
which the South felt it was organically[br]moving on further.

0:48:33.952,0:48:37.126
As a nation I think [br]it's coming together.

0:48:37.126,0:48:41.900
Still gonna take some time, but...[br]everything does.

0:48:41.900,0:48:46.149
And I believe in that.[br]We all gonna survive.

0:48:46.149,0:48:48.324
I'm tired of America's self hatred.

0:48:48.324,0:48:51.759
I can prove to you very quickly that[br]we're not a racist country.

0:48:51.759,0:48:54.800
We elected a black president twice.

0:48:54.800,0:48:58.946

I want it. That's why I got it on my back[br]in the beginning.

0:51:02.450,0:51:04.774
It's because I give a shit about the [br]people around me.

0:51:04.774,0:51:05.897
People matter.

0:51:05.897,0:51:10.419

America was continuing to reveal its[br]different faces to me.

0:51:48.521,0:51:52.745
Texas had voted Republican in every [br]election since 1980.

0:51:52.745,0:51:55.553
And yet, despite the polarity with the debate

0:51:55.553,0:51:58.113
it showed me a version of an America

0:51:58.113,0:51:59.430
at peace with itself.

0:51:59.430,0:52:01.786
Republican, Democrat sat side by side,

0:52:01.786,0:52:05.180
and for a brief moment I felt a healthy[br]conversational

0:52:05.180,0:52:07.548
and interactive approach to politics.

0:52:07.548,0:52:10.419
Ahead of me, however, lay Austin

0:52:10.419,0:52:12.703
where the reality of the economic divides

0:52:12.703,0:52:15.083
would present themselves in stark colors

0:52:15.083,0:52:17.681
and if there's one thing a populist leader[br]understands

0:52:17.681,0:52:21.320
it's how to exacerbate existing tensions

0:52:21.320,0:52:23.154
and use them for political gain.

We are a whole new generation and we[br]got new generations to come.

What are we teaching them? [br]How to stay in the past?

0:53:37.437,0:53:40.848
It was in my meeting with Linda[br]that I realized

0:53:40.848,0:53:45.374
my grappling with America had somehow[br]gone in the wrong place.

0:53:45.374,0:53:48.159
Linda's words, "what matters is life,

0:53:48.159,0:53:49.409
preserving it"

0:53:49.409,0:53:51.019
struck at my core.

0:53:51.019,0:53:53.640
Like most I'd been pulled into the drama,

0:53:53.640,0:53:54.678
the divisions,

0:53:54.678,0:53:57.405
the conflicting ideas in the spectacle.

0:53:57.405,0:53:59.171
Sitting by her side

0:53:59.171,0:54:01.805
and within her gentleness and kindness

0:54:01.805,0:54:05.007
I was introduced to a new perspective[br]of America.

0:54:05.007,0:54:09.614
That night, I watch from my van as two[br]old friends shared a joint

0:54:09.614,0:54:11.848
and prepared for another night on the streets.

0:54:11.848,0:54:15.048
I felt a sense of humility before the grace

0:54:15.048,0:54:17.518
with which they seemed to bear their lot in[br]in life.

0:54:17.518,0:54:19.020
And I felt a sense of shame

0:54:19.020,0:54:21.055
that for all my wrestling with America

0:54:21.055,0:54:24.229
that I not had the courage to reach as hard.

0:54:24.229,0:54:27.896
I vowed that I would play a new hand[br]in the game.

0:54:27.896,0:54:32.531
From this point, I wanted to tell the story

0:54:32.531,0:54:34.320
of the untold election.

0:54:41.400,0:54:45.216
Oh, it's a rush.[br]It's a big rush.

0:54:48.597,0:54:51.229
The wildest woman you ever had in your life.

0:54:52.464,0:54:53.708
I mean crazy.

0:54:54.972,0:54:57.960
It's not, are you're gonna get hurt,[br]it's when.

0:54:57.960,0:55:02.185
<i>shouting</i>[br]Now, now, now!

0:55:03.989,0:55:05.079
Broken ribs.

0:55:05.749,0:55:07.716
I broke my femur like six times.

0:55:08.876,0:55:10.718
Got more screws right there.

0:55:12.653,0:55:14.302
I broke it comin' off a bull.

0:55:16.571,0:55:18.719
I got slammed down face first in the dirt.

0:55:18.719,0:55:22.678
I got screws right here.

0:55:23.026,0:55:24.785
Every muscle in my body aches.

0:55:25.692,0:55:27.112
Got surgery on my eye.

0:55:28.366,0:55:30.040
I do this because I love it.

0:55:31.275,0:55:32.458
Broke my shoulder.

0:55:33.827,0:55:36.915
Bein' able to ride a bull?[br]Like being on top of the world.

0:55:38.767,0:55:39.971
Right here, across this one.

0:55:42.489,0:55:44.120
I was enjoying my first rodeo.

0:55:44.120,0:55:46.199
It seemed on the surface

0:55:46.199,0:55:50.860
a quintessential expression of American[br]energy, brawn, and gumption.

0:55:50.860,0:55:54.730
And yet, in attempting to peel away[br]the layers of this seemingly most

0:55:54.730,0:55:58.483
southern traditions, I found my own[br]impressions once again

0:55:58.483,0:56:00.020
subverted.

0:56:00.729,0:56:05.430
The rodeo is wonderfully multicultural, in both [br]its origin and its expression

0:56:05.430,0:56:06.860
of modern culture.

0:56:07.079,0:56:10.636
Yet articulates a conservatism way beyond[br]debating, villainization, and populous rhetoric.

0:56:10.636,0:56:15.032
It's not an American sport.

0:56:15.032,0:56:18.196
I mean, the original vaqueros in Mexico,

0:56:18.196,0:56:21.182
they got rodeo started and I mean [br]everybody just went from there.

0:56:21.182,0:56:27.665
It's Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, America.[br]It is a international sport.

0:56:27.727,0:56:30.345
It is a conservatism of family values,

0:56:30.345,0:56:34.834
love of nature. Values that are in no way at [br]odds with liberal sentiment

0:56:34.834,0:56:37.613
about the environment and [br]looking after one another

0:56:37.613,0:56:39.933
(Jim) Is this one of your lot?[br]- It's my son.

0:56:41.423,0:56:44.878
We're thankful that we spend a lot of time[br]doing it

0:56:44.878,0:56:49.546
and exercising, running and bein' the best[br]we can be.

0:56:49.546,0:56:51.691
So, we're blessed because of that.

0:56:53.023,0:56:53.966
Cowboy life.[br]Country life.

0:56:55.170,0:56:58.063
Hunting, fishing, riding, everything. [br]<i>laughs</i>

0:56:58.063,0:56:59.639
When you go beyond the politics

0:56:59.639,0:57:02.919
you find these things are just [br]an expression

0:57:02.919,0:57:04.031
of one another.

0:57:04.031,0:57:06.084
In the rodeo, I found an America

0:57:06.084,0:57:07.886
overcoming itself.

0:57:07.886,0:57:11.674
It pointed to the artificiality in the [br]divides of the Right and the Left.

0:57:11.674,0:57:14.920
And the illusion of how our politics[br]characterizes us.

0:57:14.920,0:57:17.364
As if from two separate species.

0:57:17.364,0:57:21.362
The way I feel about America now is that

0:57:21.362,0:57:24.949
we need to put all the racial differences[br]aside,

0:57:24.949,0:57:27.995
all the business aspects aside,

0:57:27.995,0:57:29.599
and get back to being a faith-driven country.

0:57:29.599,0:57:32.351
We need to go back to understanding that

0:57:32.351,0:57:33.996
and become a country as one

0:57:33.996,0:57:35.995
you know, through faith.

0:57:35.995,0:57:37.533
It doesn't matter what religion you are.

0:57:37.533,0:57:40.067
We just need to come together as we're[br]all come from the same cloth.

0:57:40.067,0:57:42.304
And just, we need to put our differences aside

0:57:42.304,0:57:44.775
and work together and that's the[br]bottom line.

0:57:45.668,0:57:47.057
Never givin' up.

0:57:47.057,0:57:49.687
Never let an injury back you down.

0:57:49.687,0:57:51.807
There's a number of things.

0:57:52.813,0:57:55.160
It's more of in your heart.

0:57:55.160,0:57:56.625
It's not how you look,

0:57:56.625,0:57:57.642
how you talk,

0:57:57.642,0:57:59.033
how you dress.

0:57:59.033,0:58:00.294
It's more of all in your heart.

0:58:03.391,0:58:06.552
But where it is in the moment a[br]hell of a shape.

0:58:06.552,0:58:09.082
You know.[br]Need to be something done about it.

0:58:09.082,0:58:13.370
So, for one thing they need [br]to vote for Trump.

0:58:13.370,0:58:14.630
And give him a shot.

0:58:14.630,0:58:17.673
And since he's a business man then maybe [br]he can get a bunch of stuff done.

0:58:17.673,0:58:20.635
And if he didn't get up there and corrupted[br]get corrupted like the rest of them.

0:58:20.635,0:58:23.948
You gotta get this country turned around.

0:58:23.948,0:58:26.663
You can't keep going into debt.

0:58:26.663,0:58:33.124
Because if they do, they're gonna fold[br]the money system as we know it today.

0:58:33.124,0:58:38.939
We're 20 trillion dollars in debt[br]and all of this is been since Reagan

0:58:38.939,0:58:40.531
went in office.

0:58:40.531,0:58:42.475
My sign out front says it all.

0:58:42.475,0:58:45.821
No matter who wins this election we're[br]gonna lose here.

0:58:45.821,0:58:49.223
In the way the election is going,[br]they're not talking about us.

0:58:49.223,0:58:52.156
You know, Trump is talking [br]about the little man.

0:58:52.156,0:58:53.589
Small businesses all over America [br]are the same way.

0:58:53.589,0:58:56.550
But the Democrats aren't talking about the[br]little man.

0:58:56.550,0:58:59.094
They're taxing us out of existence.

0:58:59.094,0:59:01.046
I would always like to believe that

0:59:01.046,0:59:02.914
everybody is gonna be better in the end.

0:59:02.914,0:59:05.837
But it's gonna take an awful lot of us[br]workin' really hard to do that.

0:59:05.837,0:59:10.067
And that's what we're lacking in America [br]now.

0:59:10.582,0:59:12.321
People working really hard at something.

0:59:12.321,0:59:16.683
I think they want it too easily. They think[br]that somehow that the government

0:59:16.683,0:59:19.030
is gonna promise that they don't have[br]to do anything for that.

0:59:19.030,0:59:22.440
It's like an effortless thing and all of the sudden[br]everyone is happy.

0:59:22.440,0:59:25.582
That is not reality.

0:59:25.582,0:59:27.780
Not reality at all.

0:59:29.422,0:59:30.573
(New Mexico)

0:59:33.106,0:59:34.358
American and Mexican border is [br]right up there.

0:59:34.358,0:59:36.806
El Paso used to be Mexico.

0:59:36.806,0:59:40.862
A lot of California used to be Mexico.

0:59:40.862,0:59:42.911
Majority of people are supporting him

0:59:42.911,0:59:44.977
of Anglo-Saxon people.

0:59:44.977,0:59:45.949
THE WALL OF WHITE SUPREMACY

0:59:45.949,0:59:48.389
Who over the last 40 years

0:59:48.389,0:59:52.812
they seen that the erosion of white supremacy.

0:59:52.812,0:59:54.939
What's gonna happen if he does win,

0:59:54.939,0:59:56.547
and if that wall is built.

0:59:56.547,0:59:59.830
These people, a lot of these people are[br]already in

0:59:59.830,1:00:02.733
they're barely making it now as it is.

1:00:02.733,1:00:06.064
They don't like what's happening.[br]They don't like it.

1:00:06.064,1:00:12.703
They feel like they're being a minority[br]now. They're not a majority like they

1:00:12.703,1:00:16.142
used to be at one time. They're[br]the minority now. And they don't like it.

1:00:18.852,1:00:22.772
This is a good place if you want to[br]start in life all over again, there it is,

1:00:23.300,1:00:25.365
you know? But you have to want it.[br]

1:00:25.365,1:00:28.911
You have to actually say to yourself[br]"I don't wanna be here" you know?

1:00:28.911,1:00:30.802
Because this is the bottom of the barrel[br]almost

1:00:30.802,1:00:36.596
I want to prove the old people they can[br]do a lot of things.

1:00:36.596,1:00:44.137
For me it was almost a greater power was[br]directing me. And to go through that I had

1:00:44.137,1:00:48.492
to go through hell in order to learn[br]what I was being trained for.

1:00:48.862,1:00:51.663
I don't know if that makes any sense to[br]you at all.

1:00:51.663,1:00:54.033
But that's, that's what I live and that's[br]what I believe.

1:00:54.033,1:00:58.282
I would've never ended up taking care of [br]homeless people if I didn't...

1:00:58.282,1:01:01.787
wasn't immersed in it myself.

1:01:02.636,1:01:08.086
(Jim) My experiences in Austin had shown[br]me that there is no true understanding

1:01:08.086,1:01:10.240
of America without confronting the [br]epdidemic of homelessnes.

1:01:10.240,1:01:15.341
If, as Gandhi mused, a nation's health can[br]be judged by how it treats its

1:01:15.341,1:01:20.077
weakest member. Then how does one grapple[br]with this epidemic in the

1:01:20.077,1:01:24.756
world's richest country? [br]Perhaps we're all complicit in some way.

1:01:24.756,1:01:31.015
We demonize the homeless, make them [br]outcasts, deprive them of their humanity

1:01:31.015,1:01:35.235
and settle our conciousness with a few [br]dollars chucked into a hat once a month.

1:01:35.235,1:01:41.793
In the Opportunity Center in El Paso I [br]came across what can only be described as

1:01:41.793,1:01:46.398
twin forms of heroism. Both in the work of[br]those choosing to wrestle with the plight of

1:01:46.398,1:01:50.999
those most in need. But even more so, the[br]power of spirit of those

1:01:50.999,1:01:54.961
trying to claw themselves out from[br]destitution itself.

1:01:57.621,1:02:02.873
I like your accent! Don't say where you're[br]from, I'm gonna guess. Australia!

1:02:03.017,1:02:06.871
Close-ish. (laughter) Actually from[br]Scotland!

1:02:06.871,1:02:09.434
Scotland! Ah, I didn't think of that!

1:02:09.434,1:02:12.167
-What you think I'm talkin'? Chicken.[br]- I'm chicken juice.

1:02:12.167,1:02:13.578
-Your a what? [br]- I'm chicken!

1:02:13.578,1:02:18.021
- Yeah, you're chicken shit! [br]- Yeah. I'm chicken shit! (laughs)

1:02:24.837,1:02:27.577
If it wasn't for them we'd be in trouble.

1:02:29.409,1:02:31.862
- What are you making here?[br]- Rosaries!

1:02:32.383,1:02:35.681
- Okay! Wow you make it so quickly, Reso![br]- Yes

1:02:35.681,1:02:38.391
- Wow! Beautiful work my friend![br]Thank you so much!

1:02:38.391,1:02:40.758
- This is a present for you! [br]- Oh no!

1:02:40.758,1:02:45.335
- It's a present for you. Yes, sir.[br]- Oh – does it get it...

1:02:45.335,1:02:48.587
oh my god, I will wear it [br]with so much pride!

1:02:48.624,1:02:52.181
(Jim) What struck me in the Opportunity[br]Center was the thin red line

1:02:52.181,1:02:56.439
between the circumstances of one life [br]and the next.

1:02:56.439,1:03:00.621
In America it feels the safety net between[br]falling through the social order

1:03:00.621,1:03:05.186
is far thinner than in Europe. [br]And I was aghast at how a missed bill,

1:03:05.186,1:03:10.522
a freak injury, a lost job or an [br]unexpected illness could prove so

1:03:10.522,1:03:12.511
fundamentally life-changing.

1:03:12.511,1:03:22.762
Being 54 years old with no insurance and a[br]...a pretty serious medical condition

1:03:22.762,1:03:26.209
it's...it's very scary and depressing.

1:03:26.209,1:03:29.766
Then I had an illness where [br]I ended up in the hospital

1:03:29.766,1:03:33.166
and my hospital stay ate [br]all of the money that I had

1:03:33.195,1:03:36.338
and I had no place to go [br]after I was hospitalized.

1:03:36.338,1:03:38.065
And that's how I ended up [br]here.

1:03:38.541,1:03:42.072
(Jim) It made me realize that keeping [br]homeless people at a remove

1:03:42.072,1:03:45.022
is not just an act of cowardice [br]in society at large,

1:03:45.060,1:03:48.146
but also an expression [br]of the protective layer

1:03:48.146,1:03:50.793
the wealthier class [br]build around themselves.

1:03:50.793,1:03:53.941
To shield themselves from the gritty[br]potential in life.

1:03:53.941,1:03:59.487
See, I help everybody 'cause I know how hard[br]things are, you know?

1:03:59.487,1:04:07.608
There are hard times right here. Everybody's broke or you know, [br]They want to smoke a cigarette, food, whatever I can. I share everything I got.

1:04:07.608,1:04:11.897
Well, I think that there is alot of people[br]who are not willing

1:04:11.897,1:04:13.896
to hire homeless people, not willing [br]to give them a chance.

1:04:13.896,1:04:18.447
But I do believe that there is still [br]good people in America.

1:04:18.447,1:04:22.515
(Jim) The election had become a noise of [br]clashing ideas and archetypes.

1:04:22.515,1:04:25.201
A mirage of shock, fantasy and drama.

1:04:25.771,1:04:29.627
I felt at last I had arrived at[br]a more substantial reality.

1:04:29.996,1:04:34.462
That revealed itself[br]in the simple way a human being suffers.

1:04:34.462,1:04:38.845
I'm here in a lot of ways but...

1:04:39.047,1:04:43.038
what brought me here was...

1:04:43.038,1:04:45.933
trying to find my... myself.

1:04:47.930,1:04:51.336
You know, there's a lot of people just[br]getting richer and richer and richer

1:04:51.336,1:05:01.547
while uh, more and more people from[br]middle class below are just going way way

1:05:01.547,1:05:03.517
down below the poverty line.

1:05:04.234,1:05:08.048
(Jim) Seen in this way, a measure of[br]society became how it treated those

1:05:08.048,1:05:10.010
who had fallen through its safety net.

1:05:10.010,1:05:13.826
As such I felt the Opportunity Center

1:05:13.826,1:05:18.280
offered not just opportunity to those[br]lives it was helping rebuild -

1:05:18.280,1:05:24.309
but also to society itself.[br]- Making money, eating too much,

1:05:24.309,1:05:30.030
drinking too much. These are wrong [br]things. The human,

1:05:30.030,1:05:35.824
they don't want to understand how to live[br]better.

1:05:35.824,1:05:42.055
How do we create an atmosphere that's[br]friendly and safe and caring of the people

1:05:42.055,1:05:47.412
that are rejected by the people in El Paso[br]and everywhere else?

1:05:47.412,1:05:53.645
- You're right! (laughter)[br]- Jose, put it there. Oh crap! (laughter)

1:06:03.054,1:06:05.199
The cowboy life is the only life.

1:06:05.257,1:06:09.531
My dad was once a – he was first, [br]last and always a cowman.

1:06:09.531,1:06:13.132
The cattle industry is still going.

1:06:13.330,1:06:16.622
It's had a lot of heartaches and heartbreaks,[br]having to

1:06:16.622,1:06:22.602
sell down your herd or sell it off [br]and then start over again.

1:06:22.602,1:06:26.132
And there's an old story about the guy,

1:06:26.391,1:06:30.677
you know, some rancher said, "What would [br]you do if you had a million dollars?"

1:06:30.677,1:06:34.984
"I reckon I'd just stay in[br]the cattle business 'til it's all gone."

1:06:34.984,1:06:40.359
This old stove is what keeps [br]my house warm all winter.

1:06:40.359,1:06:44.852
High integrity and hard-working [br]and do the best you can

1:06:44.852,1:06:49.219
and as my nephew said, when my dad [br]passed on three years ago...

1:06:49.219,1:06:57.391
He was ninety years old. [br]And he was such an amazing man!

1:06:57.391,1:07:00.030
And he always tried to make[br]things better.

1:07:00.030,1:07:05.219
(Jim) The transformative effects of[br]globalization on traditional ways of life

1:07:05.219,1:07:09.224
is often presented in [br]curiously statistical ways.

1:07:09.224,1:07:11.581
The deeper I traveled into America,

1:07:11.581,1:07:14.457
the more I witnessed longing [br]for ways of life

1:07:14.457,1:07:17.606
irrevocably changed through modernity.

1:07:17.606,1:07:19.617
Within this yearning [br]was a discernible pain,

1:07:19.617,1:07:22.511
not just in the difficulty [br]of rural life...

1:07:22.511,1:07:26.993
It doesn't matter how hard it gets - [br]you just keep pushing through.

1:07:26.993,1:07:28.946
You push through, you push through. [br]Perseverance.

1:07:28.946,1:07:31.349
Perseverance, doing the best you can.

1:07:31.349,1:07:33.616
Those are the things [br]that I learned from my folks.

1:07:33.616,1:07:39.059
(Jim) But moreover, an acute sense of [br]personal and human loss.

1:07:39.059,1:07:40.245
THE HIDDEN INPUTS OF A GLOBALIZED WORLD

1:07:40.302,1:07:42.260
And our town was booming!

1:07:42.260,1:07:46.754
We had businesses that were everywhere!

1:07:46.754,1:07:53.407
I love my town. I love it [br]with all my heart!

1:07:53.407,1:07:58.127
I hate to see it just going downhill.

1:07:58.127,1:08:04.877
Everyday something closes [br]and somebody moves.

1:08:04.877,1:08:09.742
And you never see that one person[br]again that you knew. That it so sad.

1:08:09.742,1:08:13.915
In the last – what is it, three years –

1:08:13.915,1:08:17.018
we've had I don't know [br]how many overdoses.

1:08:17.018,1:08:20.087
Heroine overdoses. [br]Of young kids!

1:08:20.087,1:08:23.892
It's almost like it's the devil's playground.

1:08:23.892,1:08:26.587
THE DEVILS PLAYGROUND [br](&amp; ITS SAINTS)

1:08:26.587,1:08:31.636
Smoking a bowl! (laughter)

1:08:35.456,1:08:39.623
(??) (01:08:39) one of the most beautiful[br]places you've ever been.

1:08:40.247,1:08:45.044
One of the most radical places. Back in the[br]day, it was something else!

1:08:45.044,1:08:49.796
I'm an aboriginal of this country and hello! [br]I'm barely being talked about

1:08:49.796,1:08:52.805
- when it comes to race.[br]- If I thought that Trump would be

1:08:52.805,1:08:57.390
in there I'd put a bullet in his head if I[br]had the opportunity.

1:08:57.390,1:09:03.188
They talk about all these other nationalities[br]that came from everywhere as a minority.

1:09:03.188,1:09:08.173
- They never say American Indians.[br]- I don't trust the man. I think he's

1:09:08.173,1:09:11.684
a Hitler.[br]- I wish I could just ask the whole

1:09:11.684,1:09:15.506
United States about this. Everbody, [br]wherever they came from is a descendant

1:09:15.506,1:09:17.742
from somewhere else.

1:09:17.742,1:09:21.613
I think he's the worst of all the worst![br](music playing)

1:09:30.375,1:09:31.090
COLORADO

1:09:31.090,1:09:34.148
- Yeah these roads are really beginning[br]to get icy up here in the mountains.

1:09:34.148,1:09:35.602
Heading towards Silverton.

1:09:35.602,1:09:40.502
You know this race is going[br]down to the wire. You've got Trump making

1:09:40.502,1:09:46.091
this crazy late surge. Two weeks ago his [br]campaign was dead in the water and

1:09:46.091,1:09:52.091
suddenly the head of the FBI released [br]these emails and Clinton's campaign is

1:09:52.091,1:09:56.488
just being absolutely taken to pieces[br]three days to the election! Is it gonna

1:09:56.488,1:10:00.724
stabilize or is Trump's rampantness [br]gonna come back?

1:10:00.724,1:10:02.723
Wow, it's really getting snowy. I really

1:10:02.723,1:10:06.592
want to get to Silverton and find somewhere[br]to stay 'cause this isn't cool at all.

1:10:06.592,1:10:16.817
To tell someone like myself, a small[br]business owner, uhm when he didn't pay

1:10:16.817,1:10:19.311
taxes for all those years, to say, [br]"Well, I didn't pay taxes

1:10:19.311,1:10:22.132
because I'm smart." You know and then there's [br]someone like me that doesn't make that much money

1:10:22.132,1:10:24.034
and has to pay a certain amount of taxes[br]every year?

1:10:24.034,1:10:26.740
I mean to me it's an insult to say[br]something like that.

1:10:26.740,1:10:29.600
In other parts of the country there's[br]tension between the political views.

1:10:29.600,1:10:31.799
Have you found any of that in Silverton?

1:10:31.799,1:10:34.784
-Oh lots of people here.[br]- Oh there's lots of it! People are stealing

1:10:34.784,1:10:37.936
signs, they get in people's face and[br]argue with them - it's pretty ugly.

1:10:37.936,1:10:44.316
I think that there's a big section of[br]America that uhm, thinks that America's

1:10:44.316,1:10:48.261
going in the wrong direction because we're[br]becoming more liberal on social issues.

1:10:48.261,1:10:51.261
And it scares them.[br]- People've runined the country and

1:10:51.261,1:10:55.530
whether you agree with it or not it's your[br]opinion but it's in trouble right now.

1:10:55.530,1:10:58.832
And terrorist groups are growing way[br]faster than they should be allowed to.

1:10:58.832,1:11:01.554
We used to deal with that so that they[br]wouldn't cause the world harm -

1:11:01.554,1:11:03.786
that's not happening anymore.

1:11:03.786,1:11:07.263
We hear there's some serious crime going[br]on in Silverton. (laughter)

1:11:07.263,1:11:09.779
If there's a bad character that came to[br]town I'll hear it from six different people

1:11:09.779,1:11:11.003
before the day's out.

1:11:11.003,1:11:14.177
- Big time crime in these parts![br]- Big time in this area! (laughter)

1:11:14.177,1:11:17.530
Is this how you managed to come across me [br]after five minutes of being in town?

1:11:17.530,1:11:20.052
That's right! Someone said "I don't know,[br]some cat with an accent.

1:11:20.052,1:11:22.278
You better check him out!" (laughter) [br]- They come in that way or if they come

1:11:22.278,1:11:26.225
in that way, we can make sure we lock the[br]town down!

1:11:26.225,1:11:30.999
- I'm glad I'm not getting arrested! [br]- (laughter) Eh, not yet!

1:11:30.999,1:11:34.112
(Jim) I'd been lucky enough to be welcomed[br]into the fold by

1:11:34.112,1:11:38.265
Silverton's law enforcement community. [br]Once again I was struck by the apparent

1:11:38.265,1:11:40.792
contradiction between America's internal[br]divisions...

1:11:40.792,1:11:45.436
Political period of the last couple of[br]years has been knock down, drag out

1:11:45.436,1:11:49.184
- politics here lately.[br]- They're the ones that everybody of course

1:11:49.184,1:11:54.617
- looks up to or listens to or sees. [br]- (Jim) And its consistent capacity

1:11:54.617,1:11:57.129
to show welcome and hospitality to a[br]stranger.

1:11:57.129,1:12:00.318
Guys, you know we don't understand the[br]tea and strumpets thing or whatever you

1:12:00.318,1:12:03.518
- guys say, but... (laughter)[br]- Showing the American spirit in the redneck

1:12:03.518,1:12:04.832
- trucks there? (laughter)

1:12:04.832,1:12:08.156
(Jim) I hoped to find out more about small[br]community life...

1:12:08.156,1:12:10.932
- Well when the shit hits the fan we all [br]together and do what needs to get done.

1:12:10.932,1:12:14.159
(Jim)... and the role of guns in America.[br]- This is a kalashnikov.

1:12:14.159,1:12:17.991
It says, "kalashnikov this way," [br]a little play on, walk this way!

1:12:17.991,1:12:23.649
So I'm glad to see people coming and [br]caring enough to find out what America

1:12:23.649,1:12:29.502
is like. Not what the American government [br]is like. What America is like!

1:12:29.502,1:12:32.932
Well I think first of all we kid ourselves[br]to believe that we're in a true democracy

1:12:32.932,1:12:37.708
anymore. We're in what I consider a system of[br]legalized bribery. I mean when over

1:12:37.708,1:12:40.396
ninety percent of every decision in the[br]House and Senate is in direct proportion to

1:12:40.396,1:12:42.695
the money that put that person in the[br]office

1:12:42.695,1:12:49.203
- that's not democracy. That's bribery.[br]- Some care about it from the heart rather

1:12:49.203,1:12:53.359
than from the power structure. And our [br]politicians are no different than

1:12:53.359,1:12:56.873
politicians any place else.[br]It's a power struggle.

1:12:56.873,1:13:01.385
We're ready for some major...major reforms[br]that need to happen soon and maybe such a

1:13:01.385,1:13:05.892
circus-like election as this will kind of[br]bring that about.

1:13:05.892,1:13:10.470
Most of us have, whether it's one side[br]of the political spectrum or the other,

1:13:10.470,1:13:19.451
all have America at heart. And want [br]to make it what it's supposed to be.

1:13:19.451,1:13:21.302
And so, anyway. (chuckles)

1:13:21.302,1:13:24.267
- I'm doin' good man, how are you?[br]- Man, good to see you!

1:13:24.267,1:13:28.655
(Jim) The British will always view the [br]American addiction to guns with a

1:13:28.655,1:13:32.340
degree of bemused curiosity and [br]quizzical bafflement.

1:13:32.340,1:13:35.626
- So Bruce, I hope that's not a Scottish guy[br]you've got on the target over there!

1:13:35.626,1:13:38.717
- Make my day, punk! [br]- That's the one. (laughter)

1:13:38.717,1:13:43.310
I will point it at Steve's truck. [br]'Cause I don't like Steve very much.

1:13:43.310,1:13:48.064
(Jim) And yet, for better or worse,[br]firearms are engrained into the American

1:13:48.064,1:13:55.349
conciousness. The right to own a gun is[br]synonymous for many US citizens with the

1:13:55.349,1:14:00.654
notion of freedon itself. Regardless of my[br]personal feelings about deadly weapons, I was

1:14:00.654,1:14:04.229
impressed at the discipline and diligence[br]of the Silverton police force.

1:14:04.229,1:14:11.265
Here, you or anybody else, you would call[br]me and I will do everything in my power

1:14:11.265,1:14:18.944
at risk to myself to be there at your [br]darkest hour.

1:14:18.944,1:14:22.886
- You going hot? (shot)[br]- Fucking hell that's got a kick!

1:14:22.886,1:14:28.886
- You look like Doc Holiday in that hat!

1:14:33.672,1:14:39.007
UTAH

1:14:41.193,1:14:47.032
It is the day before the elections! [br]Nearly at Salt Lake City. Just stopped

1:14:47.032,1:14:53.012
rolling to seeing some amazing countryside![br]So beautiful! This country just takes

1:14:53.012,1:14:57.351
the breath away at every turn. Even in this[br]moment when it's going so berzerk

1:14:57.351,1:15:03.824
so crazy! You know what, this election[br]became for me not about Donald Trump

1:15:03.824,1:15:07.736
or Hillary Clinton. It's become about the [br]American people, it's become about these

1:15:07.736,1:15:12.223
mavericks I've come to know and learn[br]and love. I'm just hoping that,

1:15:12.223,1:15:17.478
you know there's a sense of redemption[br]and healing and coming together after

1:15:17.478,1:15:20.102
this election. Because all the people I've[br]met, every single one of them deserves it.

1:15:20.102,1:15:26.901
Something is in the air and I just hope[br]that it's a moment which can lead to great

1:15:26.901,1:15:32.717
self-reflection and like the true spirit [br]of America to come through, that I have come across

1:15:32.717,1:15:34.812
and so much of this upon

1:15:34.812,1:15:39.590
this journey. Come on America! [br]Inspire us all again like only you can!

1:15:39.590,1:15:41.493
ELECTION DAY

1:15:41.493,1:15:45.534
Okay, it's Election Day! Let's go see what's[br]gonna happen!

1:15:45.534,1:15:50.757
Who are you supporting today? Wanting[br]a female president, aren't you?

1:15:50.757,1:15:53.391
- Who are you voting for?[br]- I have no idea and I won't know until

1:15:53.391,1:15:54.411
- I get in there...[br]- Oh, I'm just terrified.

1:15:54.411,1:15:57.950
- ...and think long and hard about who[br]I hate the least.

1:15:57.950,1:16:00.704
How'd you feel if you wake up and he's got[br]the nuclear codes tomorrow?

1:16:00.704,1:16:07.201
- Uhm (laughs) yeah...[br]- I think Trump has such an ego that he'll

1:16:07.201,1:16:13.180
- try really hard to do a good job.[br]- You know, the reason why I'm deciding when I

1:16:13.180,1:16:16.786
get there is 'cause uhm it's been[br]impossible for me to pick a side so to speak.

1:16:16.786,1:16:22.768
You're still undecided! You're two yards[br]away from the polling booth and you still

1:16:22.768,1:16:24.082
- don't know.[br]- Confusion, anxiety. (laughter)

1:16:24.082,1:16:28.158
It's two capitalists running against[br]each other, who are both billionaires.

1:16:28.158,1:16:30.922
Make Americanos great again! (laughter)

1:16:30.922,1:16:34.720
They say get back to a better time but[br]they never say what time that is. And they

1:16:34.720,1:16:36.288
never said what made it better back then.

1:16:36.288,1:16:38.772
So the sun is going down over Salt Lake[br]City soon

1:16:38.772,1:16:44.339
and when it comes up again, [br]America will have a new president.

1:16:44.339,1:16:45.299
ELECTION NIGHT

1:16:45.299,1:16:46.874
[br]Clinton in the lead in Florida!

1:16:46.874,1:16:50.338
The election is already seasawing from[br]Left to Right ...

1:16:50.338,1:16:52.336
(radio) Trump has a lead![br]- I mean it's just so dramatic and Clinton

1:16:52.336,1:16:58.354
has gone ahead. It's seasawing, it's sea-[br]sawing. I mean I'm not an American man and

1:16:58.354,1:17:00.621
I'm totally on a knife edge.[br]Looking quite good at the moment in

1:17:00.621,1:17:05.137
Florida for Clinton. (Yes, yes,yes!)[br]No one knows where it's going.

1:17:05.137,1:17:10.133
Trump is winning in Florida, but look at[br]that: Clinton ahead in Texas!

1:17:10.133,1:17:13.946
My youngest daughter is uh, going to [br]school at the University,

1:17:13.946,1:17:19.112
Montana State University. Election night- [br]the party that she's putting together for

1:17:19.112,1:17:25.404
her friends and her dorm is a R.I.P [br]America Night. A Rest In Peace America

1:17:25.404,1:17:27.470
- Night.[br]- I'm calling this "Erection Day"- we're

1:17:27.470,1:17:31.303
- screwed either way![br]- Hillary gets the flu and she can't be on

1:17:31.303,1:17:38.008
- election? Really? I have a vagina! And I[br]have kids to take care of. And if you

1:17:38.008,1:17:44.858
really can't hold it together, with a[br]vagina! I'm seriously, I'm a Buddhist.

1:17:44.858,1:17:52.576
To the Trump supporters out there: find [br]the primary sources for yourself and uh

1:17:52.576,1:17:55.722
- discover your own path to knowledge. [br]- One thing, what she do?

1:17:55.722,1:17:59.837
- If you had the chance to go back in time...[br]- Okay, ask me!

1:17:59.837,1:18:02.103
- and end the life of one Adolf Hitler...[br]- And?

1:18:02.103,1:18:06.672
- ...would you do so?[br]- No.

1:18:06.672,1:18:11.619
- Why not? It's an interesting line of inquiry.[br]- Okay, okay, why would you?

1:18:11.619,1:18:20.182
- Because I believe that given a chance to[br]oppose forces against humanity I would

1:18:20.182,1:18:25.060
- do so. For Hitler or for Trump.[br]- Wait, wait. Guess what? You weren't

1:18:25.060,1:18:29.553
- there and you can't change history.[br]- And that's unfortunate, but having

1:18:29.553,1:18:33.100
- visited the polls and I have done what I [br]feel is my American duty.

1:18:33.100,1:18:36.147
- But you can't change history, son. [br]- And I hope I can change history going

1:18:36.147,1:18:40.827
- forward tonight. I've tried my best to [br]do so and we will see what the outcome is.

1:18:40.827,1:18:44.530
- Mind you, you did. You tried to change [br]history. I'm proud of you for trying to

1:18:44.530,1:18:45.835
- make a change. [br]- And I, you.

1:18:45.835,1:18:49.696
- Thank you, I didn't vote. I'm Buddhist, [br]I don't need to change history. It'll

1:18:49.696,1:18:51.741
- happen with or without me. [br]- That's your choice.

1:18:51.741,1:18:53.922
- It is my choice. [br]- Have a good night.

1:18:53.922,1:18:56.881
- I am. I'm having a blessed evening, [br]thank you. (laughter)

1:18:56.881,1:19:00.400
(radio) Ohio shifting Republican as well[br]at the moment.

1:19:00.400,1:19:03.986
It changed so much. Trump is up across the [br]board.

1:19:03.986,1:19:07.076
(radio) Donald Trump will carry a huge[br]prize, Texas...

1:19:07.076,1:19:11.252
He's up in Florida, he's up in Ohio, he's[br]up in North Carolina...

1:19:11.252,1:19:16.180
- Hillary's got it in the bag.[br]- Look how red it is! It's just terrifying!

1:19:16.180,1:19:19.944
-We're working west, as soon as we get to [br]the west coast...

1:19:19.944,1:19:23.339
I'm so stressed out by your American bloody[br]election, that I had to come and get some

1:19:23.339,1:19:26.364
cigarettes!

1:19:26.364,1:19:31.048
- Still fucking stressful! (laughter)[br](radio) The coast hasn't voted. The entire

1:19:31.048,1:19:36.619
half of the liberal constituency has not [br]voted. - It's rigged!

1:19:36.619,1:19:41.468
- Virgina just won! For Hillary Clinton![br]- I feel good, a ittle nervous.

1:19:41.468,1:19:46.047
- Ohio was lost to Democrats! [br]- Ohio is gone, it has gone to Trump.

1:19:46.047,1:19:49.738
- How many electorial votes go to Ohio?[br]- I have no idea!

1:19:49.738,1:19:52.624
- Me fucking neither! (laughter)[br]- I'm disappointed that the American people

1:19:52.624,1:19:58.392
- are so racist oriented.[br]- If Michigan and Wisconsin go to Trump

1:19:58.392,1:20:04.139
- it's over. (cheering)[br]- We just won California!

1:20:04.139,1:20:05.416
- Californiaaaaa!

1:20:05.416,1:20:09.193
But Trump won Idaho.

1:20:09.193,1:20:11.139
Hillary just passed Donald Trump.

1:20:11.139,1:20:15.348
If we lose [br]Wisconsin, Michigan, it's over.

1:20:15.348,1:20:19.032
So I'm dashing across town

1:20:19.032,1:20:22.317
and we do not know which way it is going.

1:20:22.317,1:20:24.806
Trump has just won North Carolina.

1:20:24.806,1:20:25.818
It's official.

1:20:25.818,1:20:27.813
His message has connected with people.

1:20:27.813,1:20:30.901
The world is changing. [br]The world is changing.

1:20:30.901,1:20:34.727
I'm nervous because Ohio [br]is normally a good predictor,

1:20:34.727,1:20:36.298
and they totally failed us.

1:20:36.298,1:20:40.702
If Trump wins, there will be [br]a Republican House, Republican Senate,

1:20:40.702,1:20:45.924
a Republican president who's likely [br]to put in multiple Supreme Court Justices.

1:20:45.924,1:20:48.554
This is Roe v. Wade going away.

1:20:48.554,1:20:50.556
But know all of you...

1:20:50.556,1:20:52.832
You're too high, like aw, dude...[br]We are foe today.

1:20:52.832,1:20:58.082
This is traditional marriage[br]being reinstated likely.

1:20:58.082,1:21:01.467
This is not just undoing what Obama did.

1:21:01.467,1:21:05.284
This is undoing decades of [br]stuff that we all care deeply about.

1:21:05.284,1:21:06.778
That's what all of you did...

1:21:06.778,1:21:10.224
and this is how all of you [br]got to where you are now.

1:21:10.224,1:21:12.511
This is a really, really shitty moment.

1:21:12.511,1:21:15.008
If this is going the way [br]it looks like it's gonna go.

1:21:15.008,1:21:17.687
I think the polls are still close,[br]too close to call.

1:21:17.687,1:21:22.081
Barring the miraculous, [br]I think Trump is our president,

1:21:22.081,1:21:23.581
which says a remarkable[br]thing about democracy.

1:21:23.581,1:21:28.155
Which is that we get what we get [br]and we have to acknowledge

1:21:28.155,1:21:33.335
the reality of what our populous is [br]and what it wants.

1:21:33.335,1:21:36.851
We come together when [br]we're at the hardest times,

1:21:36.851,1:21:39.171
you know.[br]Evolution happens at the precipice.

1:21:39.171,1:21:40.789
It's, it's like a nightmare.

1:21:40.789,1:21:42.735
I'm here for the girls. That's me.

1:21:42.735,1:21:45.132
All the beautiful things get torn apart.

1:21:45.132,1:21:51.691
I just think I underestimated [br]how misogynistic and xenophobic

1:21:51.691,1:21:55.886
and terrible so much of America is.

1:21:55.886,1:21:57.744
There are people [br]putting children to bed tonight

1:21:57.744,1:22:00.704
and they're afraid of breakfast.

1:22:00.704,1:22:04.637
And I'm scared for all of my friends[br]and anybody who's different.

1:22:04.637,1:22:09.406
I have Muslim friends who are texting me[br]tonight saying, "Should I leave the country?"

1:22:09.406,1:22:13.150
Our president is someone who[br]fears difference in all shapes and sizes.

1:22:13.150,1:22:14.845
This was a whitelash.

1:22:14.845,1:22:16.703
It's nearly 11 o'clock.

1:22:16.703,1:22:18.154
It hasn't been announced yet.

1:22:18.154,1:22:22.318
But we don't want to feel [br]that someone has been elected...

1:22:22.318,1:22:25.726
by throwing away some of us.

1:22:25.726,1:22:31.274
The atmosphere has [br]died in the Democratic Convention.

1:22:31.274,1:22:35.587
A solid 21% chance.[br]- It's not nothing.

1:22:35.587,1:22:38.795
We're pretty much Germany[br]in the 1940's right now.

1:22:38.795,1:22:41.678
Those parellels are uncanny.

1:22:41.678,1:22:42.869
Hope does last!

1:22:42.869,1:22:46.743
He's loud. He says he can [br]single-handedly fix the problems

1:22:46.743,1:22:48.960
by eliminating minorities.

1:22:48.960,1:22:53.993
Sounds like, you know. A certain somebody.

1:22:53.993,1:22:57.887
I think a Trump presidency will...

1:22:57.887,1:23:00.355
We're fucked 'cause of Trump!

1:23:00.355,1:23:03.438
end acceptance of diversity.

1:23:03.438,1:23:09.517
I'm on my own in a cinema [br]meant to be a party for the presidency.

1:23:09.517,1:23:11.588
Donald Trump about to take the stage...

1:23:11.588,1:23:15.038
Depressed, buddy.

1:23:15.038,1:23:19.866
... introduce to you the President Elect [br]of the United States of America,

1:23:19.866,1:23:21.938
Donald Trump.

1:23:21.938,1:23:23.958
Now it is all hitting me in the chest.

1:23:23.958,1:23:26.119
Kind of like a bad porno.

1:23:26.119,1:23:31.007
Thank you.[br]Thank you very much everybody.

1:23:31.007,1:23:35.958
Sorry to keep you waiting. [br]Complicated business.

1:23:35.958,1:23:37.806
Complicated business.

1:23:37.806,1:23:42.028
I've just received a call[br]from Secretary Clinton...

1:23:42.028,1:23:48.330
The victory of Trump is [br]part of a global movement.

1:23:48.330,1:23:53.807
There's no doubt of a shifting sense, [br]the West is changing.

1:23:53.807,1:23:58.332
Some people might argue [br]that there is some type of positive...

1:23:58.332,1:24:01.261
because if so many people [br]want change then it has to happen.

1:24:01.261,1:24:07.511
But what does that change mean [br]when it is characterized by xenophobia,

1:24:07.511,1:24:13.921
by division, by pointing fingers,[br]by hostility, by anger, by racisms?

1:24:13.921,1:24:15.840
It's hard to see where it's going.

1:24:15.840,1:24:23.533
People need to come together more.[br]I think.

1:24:23.533,1:24:27.576
The evil is taking over with [br]a lot of things here, in these days.

1:24:27.576,1:24:30.508
I don't even know what town I'm in.

1:24:30.508,1:24:33.925
There are protests breaking out across [br]the country.

1:24:33.925,1:24:37.476
The rhetoric of his[br]campaign can't be undone.

1:24:37.476,1:24:41.400
Look at history where [br]this language leads to.

1:24:41.400,1:24:43.736
I'm on the way up to Oakland tonight.

1:24:43.736,1:24:46.683
There's been protests [br]breaking out across the US.

1:24:46.683,1:24:49.022
I'm just heading towards this protest

1:24:49.022,1:24:50.699
to see what the [br]feeling is here in California.

1:24:50.699,1:24:51.547
CALIFORNIA

1:24:51.547,1:24:53.587
We are going up against [br]a corrupt adversary.

1:24:53.587,1:24:55.969
And we can't match his corruption.

1:24:55.969,1:25:00.213
Because if we match his corruption,[br]he will take us out easily.

1:25:00.213,1:25:03.192
How we feeling tonight? [br](cheering)

1:25:03.192,1:25:05.916
What we have to do is make sure

1:25:05.916,1:25:08.834
that we are fighting against [br]the corruption within ourselves

1:25:08.834,1:25:12.166
while we're fighting against[br]corruption in this society.

1:25:12.166,1:25:17.521
To accept this is to [br]accept a repeat of history.

1:25:17.521,1:25:21.481
There will be no "I never knew."

1:25:21.481,1:25:25.009
The Republicans win [br]the House, the Senate,

1:25:25.009,1:25:26.964
the fucking judicial court.

1:25:26.964,1:25:31.568
The Republicans haven't won that[br]much since 1928 through the fucking history.

1:25:31.568,1:25:35.000
I really do feel we have to come from love.

1:25:35.000,1:25:36.175
Fuckers!

1:25:36.175,1:25:39.963
You cannot fucking be non-violent[br]to somebody who is violent towards you.

1:25:39.963,1:25:43.020
Martin Luther King fucking finds that out [br]when he got his ass assasinated.

1:25:45.365,1:25:46.901
We have to march...

1:25:48.341,1:25:49.344
...and strike...

1:25:57.040,1:25:58.170
...like we never have.

1:25:58.724,1:26:02.780
This division has been going on[br]since the entire history of this country.

1:26:02.780,1:26:05.867
It's only now there's [br]such a mass uprising against it.

1:26:05.867,1:26:08.193
We did kill 95% of[br]the native people that lived here.

1:26:08.193,1:26:10.063
Of like what, 12 million?

1:26:10.063,1:26:11.457
Fucking indiginous land.

1:26:11.457,1:26:12.934
You fucking asshole!

1:26:12.934,1:26:15.423
We're not divided, [br]we can unite against something like

1:26:15.423,1:26:18.253
corporatism or the government[br]and that is truly dangerous.

1:26:18.253,1:26:20.642
Death to the idea that [br]love can solve racism.

1:26:20.642,1:26:23.030
Death to the idea that[br]love can solve capitalism.

1:26:23.030,1:26:24.730
Death to the idea [br]that love trumps hate.

1:26:24.730,1:26:27.022
It's about resistance,[br]it's about organized resistance.

1:26:31.855,1:26:34.808
These corporations back[br]every war that we see.

1:26:34.808,1:26:37.409
They back everything that is corrupt.

1:26:37.409,1:26:39.924
They don't back anything good.

1:26:39.924,1:26:44.136
(shouting)

1:26:44.136,1:26:49.236
They're fucking arresting people! [br]That's fucking violent!

1:26:49.236,1:26:54.510
Them fucking taking us to jail, [br]it's fucking violent.

1:26:54.510,1:26:55.847
I believe that it's necessary

1:26:55.847,1:26:58.533
to resist the rise of fascism[br]in violent ways, yeah.

1:26:58.533,1:27:00.735
We can never be divided!

1:27:00.735,1:27:04.831
Maybe in a state like Nazi Germany. [br]I don't know.

1:27:04.831,1:27:07.281
Because how else would [br]you have countered that?

1:27:07.281,1:27:09.078
When he spoke against Mexicans,

1:27:09.078,1:27:11.928
when he spoke against queer folks,

1:27:11.928,1:27:15.298
I am a gay man[br]and I'm at a point where

1:27:15.298,1:27:19.985
I can't really articulate [br]the fears I have for this country.

1:27:19.985,1:27:21.750
Fuck who?[br]Fuck Trump!

1:27:21.750,1:27:25.795
I'm a member of the LGBTQ community

1:27:25.795,1:27:28.276
and I feel a lot better [br]going to sleep at night

1:27:28.276,1:27:32.771
knowing that I have not, like, practiced, [br]like if I say fuck Donald Trump,

1:27:32.771,1:27:35.736
that's for me very hateful.

1:27:35.736,1:27:39.100
We gotta do this together, man. [br]There's no other way.

1:27:39.100,1:27:42.016
You gotta eradicate [br]this shit with love, alright?

1:27:45.613,1:27:49.036
The original Constitution mentions slavery,

1:27:49.324,1:27:51.458
and slavery, 2/3 a person.

1:27:51.458,1:27:53.594
A black man was 2/3 a person. What?

1:27:53.594,1:27:57.726
You can't expect people who've been[br]oppressed for so many fucking centuries

1:27:57.726,1:28:00.097
to just be peaceful up until now.

1:28:00.097,1:28:02.672
Do you think we just [br]gonna be holding hands

1:28:02.672,1:28:04.351
and marching [br]and singing all the fucking time?

1:28:04.351,1:28:07.056
The bitch is a dump. Fuck that [n-word] Trump!

1:28:07.056,1:28:10.373
The next thing is to stand up

1:28:10.373,1:28:15.179
and fight for everything[br]that this country is for.

1:28:15.179,1:28:17.088
And I want you to remember

1:28:17.088,1:28:19.483
that we got four long years [br]of opposing this motherfucker.

1:28:23.423,1:28:25.344
They didn't allow women to vote.

1:28:25.895,1:28:27.451
Last night I got teargassed.

1:28:27.451,1:28:30.704
The Constitution needs to evolve.

1:28:30.704,1:28:32.199
We don't want no special treatment.

1:28:32.199,1:28:34.427
We want what the Constitution[br]says that we deserve.

1:28:34.427,1:28:35.711
But what we know is,

1:28:35.711,1:28:38.392
the Constitution wasn't written [br]to give us what we deserve.

1:28:38.392,1:28:44.084
People protest and they want to stand there[br]like little fucking bitches with some firearms and shit.

1:28:44.334,1:28:46.664
But, nah. They won't to do it alone. [br]Fuck that.

1:28:46.664,1:28:47.645
And you look at history,

1:28:47.645,1:28:50.613
you look at when Mussolini[br]and Hitler were elected,

1:28:50.613,1:28:51.453
and you say,

1:28:51.453,1:28:52.317
how did the whole world[br]sit there and watch this happen?

1:28:52.935,1:28:55.729
It is a fucking shame [br]that he got elected into office.

1:28:55.729,1:28:57.047
And it's a fucking disgrace,

1:28:57.047,1:28:59.006
and a slap in the face [br]of every American out here.

1:28:59.006,1:29:01.395
We always talk about love,

1:29:01.395,1:29:05.185
but if we keep doing [br]all these so called violent protests,

1:29:05.185,1:29:08.262
that's not love.

1:29:08.262,1:29:10.297
We talk about love so much,

1:29:10.297,1:29:12.919
but in all our protests,[br]that's not love.

1:29:12.919,1:29:14.600
First they came for the Jews,

1:29:14.600,1:29:16.768
and then they came for this [br]and then they came for that.

1:29:16.768,1:29:18.288
And I was quiet.

1:29:18.288,1:29:20.202
And then they came for me,

1:29:20.202,1:29:21.849
but there was [br]nobody left to stand up.

1:29:21.849,1:29:26.964
I believe that Donald Trump's presidency[br]is the rise of facism in the United States.

1:29:26.964,1:29:30.952
If we look at history and[br]we look at the rise of facism in the 30s,

1:29:30.952,1:29:35.786
everything that happened then[br]is happening now.

1:29:35.786,1:29:38.616
I want to see Swiss cheese buildings

1:29:38.616,1:29:42.864
that these rich people own [br]and let them send a message to them-

1:29:42.864,1:29:44.586
- What's a Swiss cheese building?

1:29:44.586,1:29:46.880
A Swiss cheese building.

1:29:46.880,1:29:48.943
A building that's been bombed,[br]that's been shot through.

1:29:48.943,1:29:51.891
- So you want to see[br]this stuff getting torn down?

1:29:51.891,1:29:52.987
Why not?

1:29:52.987,1:29:55.537
It makes me very afraid.

1:29:55.537,1:30:01.962
It makes me afraid

1:30:01.962,1:30:08.961
for the people I love[br]who I know best.

1:30:11.454,1:30:16.533
But it makes me very afraid[br]for the people I don't know

1:30:16.533,1:30:21.327
who are my family[br]because I'm of the family, Human.

1:30:22.223,1:30:27.623
THE POETRY OF THE PACIFIC

1:30:30.368,1:30:33.657
I've reached the Pacific Ocean.

1:30:33.657,1:30:38.131
I reflect on my broken half move [br]through America's cities,

1:30:38.131,1:30:43.427
valleys, dirt roads, outhouses, motels,[br]homeless shelters, rodeos,

1:30:43.427,1:30:45.284
swamps and highways.

1:30:46.782,1:30:50.772
My heart is pregnant with its colours,[br]its kindness, its faces,

1:30:50.772,1:30:52.645
its mesmeric beauty.

1:30:53.506,1:30:57.180
My mind races wearily,[br]consumed with its madness,

1:30:57.180,1:31:01.791
its contradictions,[br]paradoxes, and parallels.

1:31:01.791,1:31:03.692
I'm anxious and worried

1:31:03.692,1:31:06.715
that in juxtaposing [br]so many voices with one another,

1:31:06.715,1:31:11.473
if I've done injustice to[br]the poetry of each individual I've met.

1:31:11.473,1:31:14.731
Did I lessen their voices

1:31:14.731,1:31:17.471
by being too open [br]to life in all its vastness?

1:31:17.471,1:31:20.729
Should I have set [br]more limiting parameters,

1:31:20.729,1:31:25.082
tried to explore one issue[br]rather than grapple with its totality?

1:31:25.082,1:31:28.396
And yet, as I look out over the Pacific,

1:31:28.396,1:31:32.587
my heart gives in to the[br]contraction and dilation of the ocean.

1:31:33.307,1:31:36.743
Its ineffability, its raw, violent power,

1:31:36.743,1:31:38.984
and its capacity for glacial stillness.

1:31:38.984,1:31:42.532
This ocean is America.

1:31:42.775,1:31:47.320
And it is too vast to consume,[br]too multiplex to comprehend.

1:31:47.320,1:31:51.205
It's only in giving into it,[br]into accepting its nature,

1:31:51.205,1:31:53.284
that I can be one with it.

1:31:54.365,1:31:57.988
It's a broken quilt, a violent patchwork.

1:31:57.988,1:32:04.224
But it is this very fragmantation [br]that makes me love it so intensely.

1:32:05.869,1:32:09.218
NEW YORK

1:32:11.744,1:32:16.805
My political road movie [br]shot on a shoestring budget is at its end.

1:32:16.805,1:32:21.159
♪ Everything's got too much for me ♪

1:32:21.159,1:32:25.897
♪ How I would love to join the free... ♪[br](Children of the Moonlight continues)

1:32:26.696,1:32:29.142
The presidency, [br]the incoming administration is kind of

1:32:29.142,1:32:35.520
like a, it's like a hurricane just [br]offshore that's about to make landfall.

1:32:35.520,1:32:37.919
America is more conflicted than ever.

1:32:37.919,1:32:41.647
Its past evanescent, [br]its future uncertain.

1:32:41.647,1:32:45.454
I'd been for a short time[br]a part of its dream

1:32:45.454,1:32:48.731
and in doing so, [br]have witnessed its nightmares.

1:32:50.624,1:32:52.635
There is an idea that is America,

1:32:52.635,1:32:55.635
and yet it forever wrestles[br]with what that idea is.

1:32:55.635,1:33:01.342
Yet nonetheless, [br]its history remains in its own hands.

1:33:01.342,1:33:03.616
It is Democracy itself

1:33:03.616,1:33:06.877
which is celebrated [br]in the manifold voices I've heard.

1:33:06.877,1:33:10.613
And it's those same voices[br]which will protect that Democracy.

1:33:10.613,1:33:13.427
Even as it is challenged and threatened

1:33:13.427,1:33:15.851
in ways it could never have imagined.

1:33:15.851,1:33:20.463
America remains the emblem[br]of our longing and our dreaming.

1:33:20.463,1:33:25.579
My conversation with it has been [br]one of the great experiences of my life.

1:33:25.579,1:33:29.844
And now I give back [br]the gift it gave to me.

1:33:29.844,1:33:31.611
I am hopeful that it might, in it,

1:33:31.611,1:33:35.099
remember its own beauty, and recognize

1:33:35.099,1:33:39.046
that its diversity and [br]abundance drives its special energy.

1:33:39.517,1:33:40.928
Most of all,

1:33:40.928,1:33:44.043
I hope it will renew[br]its conversation with itself.

1:33:44.043,1:33:46.686
Not just with a lighter tone,

1:33:46.686,1:33:50.708
but a willingness, once again, to listen.

1:33:51.026,1:33:54.024
(Children of the Moonlight playing)

1:34:23.173,1:34:25.523
Actually, I've never really[br]listened to the Beatles...

1:34:25.523,1:34:27.609
Welcome to your first morning in Ohio!

1:34:27.609,1:34:31.951
He didn't feel insulted either[br]and I kept going, oh bullshit!

1:34:31.951,1:34:33.685
He's like,[br]that's a cool dude.

1:34:33.685,1:34:36.213
I like small government.

1:34:40.877,1:34:45.408
You just want to wear a t-shirt that say[br]The Beatles on them and seem cool.

1:34:45.707,1:34:48.480
You're lame.[br]- This is not going in the documentary!

1:34:48.480,1:34:50.548
Í'm not having anything[br]said against the Beatles!

1:34:50.548,1:34:52.160
Let me ask a question.

1:34:52.160,1:34:53.581
How much we getting paid today?

1:34:53.581,1:34:54.937
I wish I was getting paid.

1:34:54.937,1:34:56.541
And I get nights like tonight.

1:34:56.541,1:35:02.167
You get some random Scottish flirt [br]that just comes in and gets...

1:35:02.167,1:35:06.413
This is really good!

1:35:06.413,1:35:07.894
It does the job, man, I tell you.

1:35:07.894,1:35:10.517
Guaranteed to withstand 200 mph winds.[br]You're in luck.

1:35:12.373,1:35:13.413
I'm not afraid of Trump.

1:35:13.575,1:35:16.390
He's too fucking stupid[br]to fuck things up that badly.

1:35:17.890,1:35:19.208
They cheated, Jim!

1:35:19.578,1:35:20.898
You motherfuckers have a good night.

1:35:21.331,1:35:23.967
God bless.[br]- You too.
