Please! What's the matter with you? This is exactly what they want us to do. Who's they, Marlon? You don't even know who they are. You're right. I don't know who they are. Neither do you. None of us do. But if we keep shouting at each other like this, what are we going to accomplish? We're Americans. What are we doing? We're supposed to be standing up for each other.

We're supposed to be helping each other. What, you think you're doing the right thing? No, you're not. You're afraid. And you think if you get worked up over some conspiracy nonsense that that won't make you afraid? No. You're not behaving like an American, nor a patriot. You hear standing up for the little guy, the working man?

Well, there are working men and women buried right beneath our feet, right here. You don't trust the government? I get that. It hasn't always come through for everybody, but this isn't about the government or the 1% or whatever the hell you want to call them. It's about somebody out there that hates us, that stands against everything that we stand for, everything that makes us who we are.

And they found a way to hurt us. It's that simple. And right now these people need to get back to work and get those people out. And you need to let them. You want to stand by and offer your support and your prayers? That's great. But please, just do it from behind the barricade.

You're just going to grab people off the streets without warrants.
