0:51 the city's lifeguard shortage because he says quote they are excellent swimmer oh ████ dude they swam through the river right hey he's not wrong that's the thing wait it's facts why is racist facts well it depends on which racist facts way they why are these facts racist why is racism such facts it depends on which way they came to the us cuz if they cross the Canadian border that means they should be like like Park Rangers should they should be Park Rangers or whatever if they hop the fence then they should work at the Spartan Race I like that right cuz they're good at jumping Def fense and stuff right or maybe construction how do we knowers hurlers hurlers the ones that like get fake pack passports and sneak onto airplanes they should be like

1:41 should CIA yeah they should do that we could use these skills okay I think what they're not doing is they're not aligning people up with their talents when people come across the border come into the country and it's like all right good job you got in now how do you become useful to America yeah yeah yeah yeah do you have what employable skills do you have if they go on welfare kick them out yep but if they're working keep them here yeah and like you know those immigrants or like I don't know if they're immigrants but people that sell stuff on the sidewalks that they're not supposed to that obviously speak English yeah like why why why why take them off the sidewalks see cat driving and he's all like Latino women ████ sidewalk yeah it's like why immigrants are not but selling colored juices on the sidewalk

2:33 why why get rid of them why not just turn them into like hey hire them and work for your store if they're to sell fruit actually that's the thing they're not washing their hands I'm watching them have legal paperwork to even get taxes and all that type people do companies or uh what is it called like certain companies hire people anyway like illegally how do they know how do they know their skills I think that's what Jo saying yeah cuz they're showing it you know they're they're showing it the street dogs are fire basically what this guy saying what if a guy's like hey so I used to when I you know I used to traffic people so I can drive yeah I know my way on a map yeah delivery driver dud dri when can you start yeah exactly just just become an Amazon driver swap people for packages y there you go and you can

3:23 treat the packages the same way you used to treat the people dump them I have a job it's called HR there we we heu he's a ████ he's like a recruiter or he's a you know what do you call he's a job agency that's what he is that's crazy dude it's not bad so is it racist yeah what do you think Kim um I think yeah honestly because it's like you're for one you're grouping a bunch of people and just assuming they're all good swimmers but literally that's not how they kind of positive like that's literally a stereotype like not all of them swim and it's just like yeah like some people flew in is it bad to assume people are good at swimming though but you know what is racist racist about that I think what it is to it's probably how he's coming off like he's saying it as a joke but not really you know not

4:13 saying as a joke I think he's like all right guys we have a shortage um we have an abundance of immigrants that can swim we might as well let them be lifeguards check this quote out how do we have a large body of people that are in our city and country that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards and the only obstacle is that we won't give them the right to work to become a lifeguard dude is New York City really hurting for lifeguard roles big time bro kids are drowning every day I didn't know people go to the beach in New York they can't they can't hire some like high schoolers to ████ do that job damn you think they have lifeguards we're next to the liberty statue hell yeah I do cuz people be swimming around the Liberty all the time probably dude I never see footage of people swimming in New York you never seen people with whistles next to Statue of Liberty never really you never seen them make all the kids get out and then adults get 45

5:04 minutes nope I never see those uh lifeguard towers that we have here in Santa Monica and stuff either yeah that's true see I don't see any of that you never seen the videos of all the kids throwing diving sticks by the Statue of Liberty and they're all going down actually it's it's not racist cuz he didn't say any race he just said immigrants and they could be anybody so the person reading it is racist cuz they're assuming that it's Mexican so let's have the conversation turn the mirror around who are the best swimmers out of all the immigrants who are the best swimmers what country I actually hey who's not's not now this is becoming more racist no let's go all right I think uh if you're coming from Mexico you're probably not that good of a swimmer I don't think Mexico's known for swimming though I'm going to go for heavy set people probably not people who have a lot of muscle they might sink to the bottom of the ocean too dense too

5:54 dense I don't think Mexicans are known for swimming in the Olympics goes right to the B dud dude who are the best swimmers whites are are the best swimmers Michel pH Michael phps what do you say who's the most all the most prolific swimmers are whites I would they're not known for um swimming over here anymore what are you talking about yeah are swimming over Michael Phelps is still doing Subway commercials dude can you swim from Cuba to here that's kind of some people have Florida Cubans I don't know if they swam swam but they definitely inter tube it yeah Ellen Ellen gz is that a real thing that happened yeah dude that's crazy he he was on a crocodile in Tu one was on it's a flamingo it's a flamingo the

6:44 handles yeah he was an R2-D2 one or something a Millennium Falcon he's blowing it up too spin it around that's tired but like no joke he did come on a ████ he definitely did that was crazy yeah that's a real think dude cuz I assume most people cross the border just by foot like why would you risk swimming most imants they they they come on a boat and then they hop out and then they do a short Sprint to the to the uh oh right cuz they can't park the boats in the docks yeah they run up the beach hard to run the people are pissed and they're trying to trip them and ████ by the way if that's not a good lifeguard I don't know what it is you got to be able to run on the beach I saw some uh San Diego ones where a bunch of dudes would come on a boat just slap against the ████ beach jump out and there's already cars waiting for him and they run into the car and then they

7:35 drive off I saw that I was like wow that must be a that must be a crazy feeling though they should so I think you get in the car and you're like bro we made it they should all join triathlons you know you know two for 20 you know what the problem is is is these illegal driving in our city and Wrecking and getting crashing and then they're just leaving the scene yeah leaving their cars cuz it's not registered to them they don't have insurance and they just dip it's sad for the people that got hit yeah that's the only issue I'm looking at this immigration thing right now totally off topic of what they should be doing but definitely don't let them Drive yeah no it's just like dude better or Swim just just stay on the scene why can't they swim to where they're going yeah dude pour some pour some water on the road and

8:27 start they carry a bottle of water h that's how they get there dude confident territory but honestly I think they just got the willpower so whatever job that needs willower mental thingy the longer someone stays in America the lazier they become soft America makes you soft for sure but you think that they got on Reddit and like self diagnosed themselves manic depressant yo all the trauma they went through Mexicans are savages though they know they know what they got to do man they know their work ethic is on point they're fired and they can get it done cheaper hon I think yeah there you go that's but then even Mexicans are getting bougie now and then they're just like let's just find a Salvadorian to do it for us oh man it just keeps like ches the guy who fixed
