Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Meet Boris Johnson, British politician and stunt double for Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber. Now many of you might be hearing about him for the first time, but in Britain he's a household name. Alexander Boris DePfefel Johnson is the only British politician known universally by a first name. Boris, he began his career as a journalist.

Johnson spent eight years as Mayor of London, always willing to perform for the cameras. Johnson struck political gold when Britain hosted the 2012 Olympics, he gained praise for steering London smoothly through the event. There were a few embarrassing moments for Johnson, most notably when he got stuck on a zip wire. I guess at the same time, it's probably good preparation for handling Brexit, you know, it's just a, oh boy, how do I get out of this? Any ideas? that is so embarrassing. He's stuck on a zip line up there? I guess at the same time but it's probably good preparation for handling Brexit, you know, it's just a, oh boy, how do I get out of this? Any ideas? any any any any any any any any any any any any any any any any? I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thirty? I thi I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thirty, I thirty, I th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Any ideas? Any ideas? I thought it would be much easier. So Boris was the mayor of London and a character who did things that made people laugh. But just

like Trump, he also gained a reputation for his trash talk. Boris Johnson has refused to bow to calls from all sides to apologize for saying women who wear face fails look like bank robbers and letter boxes. Johnson also blasted the president's decision to move a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. He called it, quote, a symbol of the part-Kenyan president's ancestral dislike of the British empire. He described Hillary Clinton as having, quote, dyed blonde hair, pouty lips and a steely blue stare,

like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital. This on President Putin. Despite looking a bit like Dobby the house elf, he is a ruthless and manipulative tyrant. Okay. I honestly can't believe he said those things about Muslim women and Hillary Clinton, but you do have to admit Vladimir Putin does look like Doby. I mean, he does. You don't look like Dabby. You Putin does look like Dobby. I mean, he does. You know, it looks like Dobby got a job at KPMG.

Like, look at him. But still, but still, it's pretty balsy for Boris to make fun of someone for looking like a Harry Potter character, when he looks like a midlife crisis, Malfoy. I mean, look at him. Like he looks like Mfoy got addicted to potions and he's been trying to sustain his habit ever since. And despite his controversial quotes, Boris has continued to rise in British politics. In fact, after serving as London's mayor, he joined Parliament and became a prominent voice for one of the biggest blunders in British political history, Brexit. The Leave campaign would say Europe cost too much and controls too much. became a prominent voice for one of the biggest blunders in British political history, Brexit.

The Leave campaign would say Europe costs too much and controls too much has been led by former London Mayor Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson believes he owns the victory. Vote leave my friends. I believe that this Thursday can be our country's independence day. When you look at the EU now, it makes me think of some badly designed undergarment that has now become too tight in some places, far too tight, far too constrictive, and dangerously loose in other places. What? What? other places. What? Forget Brexit. What's going on with this dude's underwear, man?

Like did he forget to take off that zip line harness? Is that what happened there? It's almost like he was so distracted by his uncomfortable underwear that it just like snuck into his speech? He's like, my friends, Britain is like a wedge being pulled deeper and deeper into the butt crack of the European Union, you know, squeezing with the testicles tight against my body, which was enjoyable at first, but has become extremely, extremely uncomfortable ever since. Now if you excuse me, I'm headed to the bathroom to save the testies that I have remained in. Now here's what's crazy. Now here's what's crazy. Before the Brexit vote, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, Boris, I thiii, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, here's what's crazy, here's what's crazy. Before the Brexit vote, Boris lied to voters in Britain about the benefits of leaving the EU. And now that Teresa May has taken most of the Brexit

backlash, he might get her job, but he's part of the reason that she's losing it. And you thought the patriarchy was dying, baby, huh? We need to throw a patriarchy parade. I'll see you guys in Boston, yeah! To understand what's going on in Sudan right now, you have to go back 30 years. When Sudan got something that almost always guarantees oppression and unrest, a dictator. Omar Al-Bashir came to power in a military coup in 1989 and survived for 30 years to cunning and brutality. In southern Sudan and Darfur, his militias scorched earth and massacred his enemies.

Hundreds of thousands died and suffered from famine. He was indicted for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Since 1989, 75-year-old Omar al-Bashir forcibly united Sudan by waging wars while wearing a smile. You know, the only thing worse than a dictator is a smiling dictator. Yeah, because now you're a maniac with a creepy-ass grin. Like we all know how terrifying Hitler looks. Now I imagine if you were smiling. Yeah, I can't look at that. Take that shit down. Take that shit down. So for 30 years, Omar al-Bashir ruled over Sudan with an iron fist.

And there were many failed attempts to overthrow him. But it turns out the secret ingredient to a successful revolt was bread. The protest began in December 2018 in the city of Akbar. The sudden tripling of the cost of bread sparked the initial protests, but they quickly theeeeee theee. the. the theckedededededededededededed the city of Agbora. The sudden tripling of the cost of bread sparked the initial protests, but they quickly turned into anti-government rallies, calling for the resignation of al-Bashir. After 30 years in power, President Omar al-Bashir has been forced out of power by the country's military. The army has dissolved the government and declared a state of emergency. That's right. After 30 years in power, this dictatorship ended because people didn't have bread, which must be really confusing to people in California.

Yeah, because they start riots if you give them bread. Like, this doesn't have carbs right, because if it does, I will burn this fucking store to the ground! So, two months ago, the people of Sudan finally got rid of their dictator, and you could tell that it was a big deal th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, because because because the, because the, because the, the ago, the people of Sudan finally got rid of their dictator, and you could tell that it was a big deal, because people were cheering online, celebrating in town squares, and even partying in the streets. I mean, just look at that joy, huh? People were dancing in the traffic. It's like an African Lala Land's joy at the Oscars, the people of Sudan's victory was short-lived.

Sudan's defense minister said the military is suspending the Constitution and will take charge of the country for the next two years. One week after they deposed a dictator, Sudanese demonstrators are still on the streets. They too want to replace a military-led regime. They consider corrupt with a civilian-led government. That is such a horrible and unfortunate twist. The military helped the people deposed the dictator and then they decided to take his place, yeah, which is a classic Lord of the Rings. Yeah, Gollum works with the good guys to get rid of the ring and at the end when he

sees an opening, he's like, my precious. So, now you know the basics of what happened. The people of Sudan got rid of their dictator of 30 years, and now, right now, they're fighting the military general who wants to be their dictator for the next 30 years. And you may be wondering, yeah, but Trevor, how are celebrities going to help? Is the general going to check Twitter and be like, oh no, Rianna blocked me, I'll step down? Maybe not, maybe not. But already the awareness campaign is bearing fruit. The US is sending a special envoy to Sudan, and the African Union has suspended Sudan until the military gives power back to the people.

Yeah. And it's not just up to celebrities to shine a light on this. Any American can help. You can call your Congress person, and you can urge them to keep the pressure on, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, and, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, and, their.....a, their.a, their.a, their.a, their.a, their.s.s.s.s, toe.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. toea.s. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. can urge them to keep the pressure on Sudan. You can actually make a difference, which is especially important today because it's World Refugee Day. Because while not everyone may agree on what to do with refugees, I think we can all agree that no one should have to become one in the first place. We begin this evening with a dangerously close call on the high seas between a Russian destroyer and a US warship. Those ships coming within feet of one another forcing the Americans to take drastic action to avoid a disastrous

collision. This image capturing just how close the ships came to a catastrophic collision as little as 50 feet according to the US Navy. This video from the deck of the USS Chancellorsville showing the Russian destroyer was so close you could see Russian sailors sunbathing on the deck. Sweet Lord, Russians are a hard call. You realize these ships are about to crash into each other. American soldiers are like, prepare for a bridge! And the Russian soldiers like, Dimitry, take off your shirt. Let's get suntan before we die.

Yeah. Don't want to meet Jesus' pasty bitch. But this is pretty crazy, man. This is pretty crazy. A Russian warship basically tried to ram into an American ship in the middle of the ocean. And let's be honest, that had to be on purpose. All right, what other excuse is there? Do you know how big the ocean is? You have to really go out of your way to collide with someone.

It's like walking into someone at Ted Cruz's birthday party. There's no one else there. You did it on purpose. Now, the question is, the question is, the question is, the question is, the question is, the question is, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho, thi, the thi, to to to to to to to to to to tho, thi, thi, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, the th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, thi.... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the is, the is, thean, tooooooooooooooooooooooo... too. tooo. too. too. too. where would Russia get the balls to play chicken against America in the Pacific? Well maybe it's because they've got a new and powerful BFF. Just as President Trump was meeting with America's most important allies in Europe, two of America's biggest adversaries were holding court in Moscow. It was a split screen tailor-made by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Xi calling Putin his quote, best and bosom friend, saying he cherished their deep friendship. The two enjoying a leisurely boat ride in St. Petersburg yesterday. That's right. Xi and Putin have gotten so close. They're even taking boat rides together. And not just a normal boat ride. Putin even helped Ji recreate that scene from Titanic. He was like, yeah, I'm king of the world!

No really, China's taking over the world! So it's clear, China and Russia are really hitting it off because you only take a boat ride with someone if you really, really like them or if they're enslaving you, but this is liking. Oh, and if you think Putin giving Xi a boat ride is impressive, wait until you see what Xi gave Putin in return. The leaders' visit also includes some panda diplomacy. During their summit, Putin and Ji showed off their friendship with a visit to the Moscow zoo,

where they welcomed two new Chinese pandas, a gift from Xi to Russia. I mean, China likes you. One of the signs of that, you, a good, good, good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, a good, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, tooom?a, ta, ta, ta,a, toee.a, toa, toa, toa, toa, I mean, China likes you. One of the signs of that, you know, a good alliance and good feelings is to present you with a panda. Russia got two. That's right. China gave not one, but two pandas to Russia, which is huge.

Yeah. Because one panda can't make babies. Two pandas also can't, but there's hope. And remember, China only gives pandas to countries when they wish to be close allies with them, right? They actually call it panda diplomacy. This is a real thing. Panda diplomacy, not to be confused with panda express diplomacy, where I convinced them to let me use the bathroom even though I didn't buy anything.

And technically, this is interesting. Technically, China didn't give Russia the pandas, right? The Russians just get to keep the pandas for a few years. Yes, which by the way applies to every panda in the world. Yeah, China owns every single panda at the world. So at some point, they have to go home. And I guess it's because China doesn't want the pandas for getting the panda gets back to China is like, hey, what the fuck is this bamboo? Hey, how about some gabagoo or a nice feta chin? Marone!

Anyway, I can talk about pandas all day. But the point is, China and Russia are getting super close. And the consequences for America go beyond boat rides and cute bears. While Russia and China continue to strengthen their economic ties, they're also expanding their military cooperation. Chinese troops taking part in massive drills with Russian forces last year. The level of cooperation between Russia and China has not been this high since the mid-1950s. They are combining forces against us.

They say Russia and China can coordinate cyber attacks and military moves that can knock U.S. forces off balance. Oh man, China and Russia teaming up against the United States? I mean, America could probably handle China or Russia, but not both at the same time. Like, imagine if in Rocky 4, Ivan Drago was fighting, and then Jackie Chan jumped in the ring to help them. Huh? That would be the end of Rocky. It would be done. There'd be no Rocky 5, no Rocky Bellboa, no Rocky goes to space, no Rocky and the sorceress stone, and definitely no 50 shades of Rocky. None of those movies. Now beyond geopolitics, the personal elements of this bromance is probably something that's going to bug Donald Trump. Because don't forget, he wants to be a part to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thockiii rocky, thocki, their rocky, no rocky, their rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, no rocky, the personal elements of this bromance is probably something that's going to bug Donald Trump.

Because don't forget, he wants to be a part of this club. He loves those dudes. We know how much he admires Putin. He talks all the time about he and Xi Jinping are great friends. So to see his two besties make plans without, and that's got to hurt. And I don't think that he's dealing with his feelings in the most mature way. The US President Donald Trump is threatening new tariffs on another $300 billion in Chinese goods. This if President Xi Jinping doesn't meet with him at the upcoming G20 summit.

Wow, really Trump? He's going to put tariffs on China if Xi doesn't hang out with him? That is so childish. If you don't come over to my house and play video games, then tariffs. And I get to be player one the whole time. And what is it with Trump using tariffs in every legal situation? Have you guys noticed this? In every situation, Trump is using tariffs now, illegal immigration? Tariffs on Mexico.

Jijin ping won't have a play date. Tariffs on China. Melania won't hold his hand in public. Tariffs on Slovakia! But Donald, I'm from Slovenia. I don't care. Pronounce it's any way, still tariffs. President Trump, you're feeling neglected by President Xi. But instead of lashing out, why don't work on your relationship, man? You know, forget terrorists, maybe talk to Xi.

Tell him how you're feeling. And if that doesn't work, try and spice things up, you know? Yeah. Dress up is something you know China's rarely into. Yeah. Who could resist? For as long as white people have been colonizing Africa, trophy hunting has existed as a way for them to bring home souvenirs. And you know, in a way, I feel like us Africans are partly to blame. We should have had a gift shop.

We should have had a gift shop. But while these pictures may have garnered praise in the 1900s, these days, thanks to show social media, the only thing that they generate is outrage. In recent years, the hunting of big cats has sent shockwaves around the globe. Outrage in this country, over the killing of a beloved lion in Zimbabwe by an American hunter. This photo from an African trophy hunt has sparked outrage across the country. That same fire reignite it when a the the the the only the only the only the the only the the only the the the only the only the the only the the the the only the only the th th th the only th th th th the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th the the they they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin the the the the the the the the theeeee the the the the the the the the they they they they they hunt has sparked outrage across the country. That same fire reignited when a trophy hunting couple posed kissing over the corpse of a lion they had just slain. I'm sorry, man. This is just disgusting. You killed an animal for fun and then you make out next to its dead body.

Is this like a fetish? No, I honestly wonder this. Like, is this like a thing just for lions, or do they do this every time there's a dead animal? Like, every time they see road kill on the highway. Is this couple just like, honey, pull over. I'm so turned on right now. It's also disrespectful. Imagine if it happened the other way around, yeah?

Like at a family funeral, all of a sudden, just like two lions popped out and started humping at your dad's coffin. I'm just like, you wouldn't be happy with that. And what's interesting, what's interesting about trophy hunting, is that we all assume people do it because they don't care about the animals, but according to the hunting community, they do because they care too much. I know it sounds contradictory but hunters love animals. Hunters are the ones that are giving so much back to preserving these wild species. A lot of people talk about conservation but hunters are the real conservationists.

Everybody thinks that the easiest part is pulling the trigger and it's not that's the hardest part but you gain so much respect and so much appreciation for the animal Wow, that's one hell of a way to show your appreciation and respect and respect Respect, imagine if your boss called you into his office and was like Johnny I want to let you know how much I appreciate and respect your hard work and that's why it's my privilege And that's why it's my privilege And by the way did you notice? that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the thi notice how that other woman arranged her lions? Like, did you see that? I don't care if you hunt or not, that's just creepy. Like, look at that. It looks like she shot the lions and then said,

make it look like they're about to have sex? And then make that deer look like it's watching. Now, oh, another argument trophy hunters use is that they're actually getting rid of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi, I thi, I thi, I the the the the the, I the, I the, I the, I don't the, I the, I th the, I the, I th the, I the, I I the, I I I the, I I I I I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the, I I I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I'm the the thean, I'm thin, I'm just just just, I'm just, I don't t tean tean tean tean tean tean tean thean thean thean th th th another argument trophy hunters use is that they're actually getting rid of the slower, weaker animals who are holding back the rest of the herd. But that might not be the full story. Trophy hunters kill some of the biggest, most magnificent animals, which is bad for the health of the species because genes may no longer be passed on to future generations. By taking those guys out of the gene pool, it weakens the genes of the entire population.

So over the last 30 years, the average size of a male lion has dropped specifically because of trophy hunting. That's right, despite what they say, the trofee hunters actually like to the strongest specimens, which I don don don don th th th th th I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't the strongest specimens, which I don't support, but honestly, I mean, I understand. It's called trophy hunting for a reason. Yeah. You wanted to look like you battled an alpha male to the death.

Not like you snuck into its nursing home and then smothered one of the lions with a pillow. It's like, shh! Go to sleep. Actually, if you think about tha, tha, tha, tha, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to to to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look to look like to look like to look like to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to look like, to to to to to to to to to to to to to look like, to to look to look to to look to look to look to look the the the the to look to look the the to look, to look, to look, to to tho, tho, tho, tho, to tho, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, tto sleep. Actually, if you think about it, this is the one time in the animal kingdom where it pays to be out of shape. Like, I wonder if there's one fat-ass lion who's just like, yeah, who's laughing now? No one asked me to the prompt, but at least I'm not in a picture with Don Jr. Ha ha ha ha!

And one of the main arguments trophy hunters give is that their hobby helps local villages. But upon closer inspection, that's not necessarily true. Critics question whether countries that promote trophy hunts manage that money properly. A 2013 report found that just 3% of hunting revenue ends up in local communities. In Zimbabwe, corruption and bloated bureaucracy prevent much of the money from helping those in need. How much money does the community get at the moment? They're getting nothing.

Absolutely nothing. Yeah, you see, the truth is unfortunately, the money from these hunts. the money from these hunts doesn't go to these communities. Oftentimes it stays at the top with the people who run the trophy hunting game. To be honest, most of these claims don't add up for me. You know, because another thing hunters love to say is, it's not just the money, that we say that their hunting provides meat for the local villages. Yeah, because apparently before the white hunters came, all Africans could do was just look at the meat, their at the meat inside that buffalo, huh? If only there was a way to get inside it.

Ah, I guess we'll just have to wait for the white man to show up one day, one day. So, that's trophy hunting in a nutshell. And as weak as the arguments for it may seem, there will always be people who are convinced that it's actually a good thing, which made us think, if it's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their their their their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. the, th... th. th. th. the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, thin, the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the the the th good thing. Which made us think, if it's working so well for Africa, maybe it's only fair that we let America enjoy some of those benefits. Dear America, for the past few decades, you have come to Africa to shoot our animals. And you say you do this to help us. And we are so grateful, we want to return the favor.

And for every dog we shoot, a portion of the profits will go to American communities up to 3%! And I know what you are thinking. What about my pets? I'm going to kill them too. Yes, pets that have reached old age will also be hunted by rich Africans. No more watching Fluffles struggle to climb the stairs. Instead, Fluffles will be shot and mounted in a Nigerian man cave.

When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. As Nigeria struggled with high crime rates in the 90s, the government decided that the best

solution would be to create a special police unit who could do whatever they wanted to stop crime. But as you might expect, things didn't go as planned. It's a unit that was set up in the 90s. The initial purpose of it was to deal with armed robberies, cattle rustling, another violent theft. They were given a special remit, initially not needing to wear uniforms, acting as a sort faceless security force. Over time, essentially, they used their autonomy their autonomy thole autonomy th.. Things th. Things th. Things th. Things th. Things th, th, thir th, thir thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, th, th, th, thing, thing, th, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to thi to thi to to thi to thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thiiiiii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi initially not needing to wear uniforms acting as a sort of faceless security force. Over time, essentially, they used their autonomy to be able to move around very freely, set up roadblocks, but they were definitely became the kind of more brutal face of the police,

eventually being accused of extrajudicial killings, torture, corruption, and robbery. Many Nigerians essentially see SARS as a replica of the very criminal groups that were set up to address. Okay, I'm not gonna lie, that's a plot twist I did not see coming. The good guys who were supposed to stop the bad guys eventually became worse than the bad guys. I mean I suppose that is one way to end crime. You just take over the crime for yourself. Tse. That thiiiiiiiiii. That's. That's, th. That's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. Many, th.

I mean, I suppose that is one way to end crime. You just take over the crime for yourself. That would be like if you got a dog to protect your house, but then woke up in the middle of the night and the dogs got a gun pointed at your face like,

shh, shh. Be a good boy and nobody gets hurt. And I know what some of you might be saying right now. Well, if these Nigerians would just obey the law, then they wouldn't have to worry about the SARS police. Well, unfortunately, obeying the law doesn't help when just existing is considered a crime. There has been a policing culture that targets young Nigerian youths that are perhaps seen in flashy cows and these are seen as internet fraudsters. Because they see young people looking good or young people dressing a type of way they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their th. th. the the tho their their their tho tho to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. tell are tell are thoooooooooe. thoe. young people looking good or young people dressing the type of way, they just automatically feel this guy is a criminal. You are profiled, if you have dreads, if you have tattoos, if you're wearing tight clothes,

if you have an iPhone. I've been living two times in just one year, two times because of my iPhone. And that is the first question they ask you, where is your phone? I'm a woman, I come back at night. Police will be telling me that when I get money to buy my vehicle. They'll call me prostitute. We cannot do that. I want too hard for my money, man. How can you see somebody on the road and you pick them up? Maybe I look fresh, all of a sudden I'm stealing. Yes. SARS would arrest people for simply dressing well or having an iPhone.

And to have the police arresting people for their clothing choices must be so confusing. Because on the one hand, it is horrible to be harassed by the police for how you look. On the other hand, it's also kind of a compliment. And if they don't arrest you, then you'll be like, wait, hold on, what's wrong with my outfit? You guys didn't pull me over. But the most surprising aspect of this for me is that people are getting profiled as criminals just for having an iPhone, which is insane.

Criminals don't use iPhones. they use flip phones. their phone to their, this. If you need a phone that you might have to toss down a sewer while the cops are after you, you don't spring for 5G. But this just goes to show that this issue isn't unique in the US. Whether it's American police targeting black Americans or Nigerian police targeting other Nigerians, police in many countries around the world know that they can abuse their power without ramifications. Because the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people the people their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. the. the. thea. thia. thia. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theanananan. toean. toean. toean. toean. toean. theeeea. theea. thea. thea. the don't have the power to respond. But after years of police brutality, Nigerians have responded.

They've taken to the streets over the last few weeks to say that enough is enough. Unfortunately, the police response to these peaceful protests has been all too familiar. We have seen acts of police brutality on protesters demonstrating peacefully. Protesters dispersed by officers with water cannons, tear gas. What is paramount to us is law and order. There must be law and other and whatever we are doing. You know, it's amazing how around the world. What is paramount to us is law and order. There must be law and other and whatever we are doing.

You know, it's amazing how around the world, law and order seems to be called for. Let's beat the shit out of these protesters. Because just like we've seen in the US, the police in Nigeria responded to protest about police brutality with more police brutality. And this is the kind of behavior that you only see with police. No other industry has this. Imagine complaining to your waiter that there's something wrong with your food and he responds by spitting it right in front of you.

I mean, I'm still going to eat it because what kind of monster wastes Benihana. But best believe, I'm not holding back in my Yelp relp. Now, the good news is the protests worked and all the pressure paid off. In fact the Nigerian government announced that they would cancel the SARS unit with immediate effect. The bad news is they already have a spin-off in the works. The Nigerian Inspector General and the entire world have heard those chance of end SARS and now the country is dissolving its controversial special anti-robbery squad known as SARS.

A rebranded Nigerian police unit called Special Weheds and Tactics or SWAT has been organized and includes members of that disbanded group. The campaigners here are calling the decision to abolish SARS a hollow victory and they say that they will continue protesting. They're out on the streets this morning. They say these are just words and they are demanding action. This is after all the fourth time that this very same unit has been disbanded and nothing has changed. We don't want them to say they are burned. There was burned 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, but now we are saying end to SAS.

Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up. How are you going to disband the corrupt unit? But then rehire the same officers under a different name? That makes absolutely no sense. That would be like if someone had a nightmare child who was like burned the same officers under a different name. That makes absolutely no sense. That would be like if someone had a nightmare child who was like burned their furniture and then instead of actually dealing with the problem, the parent was like, okay, I've had it, Jadin, enough of this. From now on, your name is Brian.

All right, here's some matches. Have a good time. I think we solved that. So, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, despite, remained in the streets and are now demanding wholesale reforms in all parts of Nigerian life. And as we saw just today, the police crackdown is only becoming more violent. But what started as a police protest has now turned into a call for a social revolution. Nigerians now want more jobs, better schools, better infrastructure, and an end to all corruption,

which is what hashtag NSAS has now become. What exactly is the big deal about 5G? Because you might think it's just 4G but a little bit faster, but it's actually a lot faster, so fast in fact that it could change the world. The new world of 5G technology promises to transform our lives, connecting millions of devices and enabling everything from driverless cars to smart homes. Up to 20 times faster than the 4G most of us use now,

5G's lightning-fast technology will accelerate and interconnect everything. To download a two-hour film on 3G would take about 26 hours. On 4G you'd be waiting 6 minutes. And on 5G you'll be ready to watch your film in just over 3 and 1 half seconds. Damn, you could download an entire movie in three seconds. That's going to be fast. I mean, we'll still spend 45 minutes trying to decide which movie to download.

But once we've decided, we'll need to go to bed because we're tired. But tomorrow, three seconds, my friends. And 5G isn't just about download speeds. It's a game changer for everything. Like with 5G, you can have cities where everything communicates. Like doctors can perform surgeries from the other side of the world. Can you imagine a world where your videos never buffer, your calls never drop. That would be amazing.

Except, I guess now you could never fake a call dropping with 5G. Yeah, because that excuse is gone. You'd be like, I'm losing, I'm breaking up. And be like, mother fuck you're not breaking up, we got 5G. We're like, yeah, yeah, you're right. Carry on, grandma. Yes, my grandma is Samuel Jaxson. So look, there's no denying.

The technology is great. But why do China and the US care so much about who makes it? Well, it's the same reason they care about anything. The Benj-Hen's, baby. When the US won the 4G race earlier this decade, it provided a nearly $100 billion boost to gross domestic product. And the stakes of the 5G race are even higher. If the US wins, it would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would would the US the US wins it would would would would the US wins it would the US wins it would would their their their their their their their the US wins, it would create an estimated 3 million jobs and add approximately 500 billion dollars to GDP. That's right. If America wins the 5G race, that could bring millions

of jobs and 500 billion dollars to the country's GDP. 500 billion dollars. You know how hard it is to get 500 billion dollars. Like, you'd have to marry and divorce Jeff Bezos five times. And I mean, after the fourth time he'd probably catch on. He'd be like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, $ $500 billion, $500 billion, $500 billion, $, $, $500 billion, $ $, $ $500 billion, $ $ $ $ $5, $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,500,000,000,500,500,500,000,000,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, $1.00, $.00. Like, you'd have to marry and divorce Jeff Bezos five times. And I mean, after the fourth time, he'd probably catch on. He'd be like, I think you don't love me. What, me, Jeff? And the fight about 5G isn't just about money and downloading Avengers like that. No, it's also about power. Because if you control 5G, you have access to everything people are doing online, which is everything.

And right now, the best 5G technology is made by a Chinese company called Huawei. And because the Chinese company is Chinese, many governments don't trust how secure it's going to be. Huawei may be best known to most people for making phones, but it's also a leading player in building the infrastructure for all our communications. Critics fear that allowing it to build 5G could enable the Chinese state to spy on or even switch off the flow of data we will all depend on.

Imagine that. If Huawei becomes the leading 5G provider in the world, then China can spy on everyone, which is terrible, because that's what America wants to do. Yeah, and I know you're judging, well if America wants to do it, then how do they judge it? That's not the point. All right? You want to do it first.

It's like when you cut someone off in the stakes, job, money, and power. And I'm not going to try and bore you with all the technical details, but while America is developing its own 5G, China's 5G is so far ahead. Like they're basically going to set the trends. It's like how back in the day there used to be a fight between DVD and laser disc. Yeah, that's America's 5g. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi's th is thi's thi. thi's thi. thi's thi's thi. thi. And thi's thi's thi. And I's th. And I'm th. And I'm th. And I'm thi. And I'm thi. And I's thi. And I's thi. And I's th. And I I's th. And I's th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi. thi's theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee laser disc? Exactly. Yeah, that's America's 5G. So this is a race many people already saying America has lost. Luckily, and I can't believe I'm saying this, America is lucky that you have a maniac on your team who's willing to play dirty. President Trump has signed an executive order banning US companies from using telecom equipment deemed to be a national security threat and that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. that's that's th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia. thia'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, their their telecom equipment deemed to be a national security threat, and that's a direct shot at China and

its tech giant Huawei. As the U.S. clampdown on the company causes a major domino effect, the UK's biggest mobile network pulling Huawei from its 5G launch, while three of Japan's mobile operators have stopped taking orders or delayed the summer release of a new Huawei phone. Donald J. Mother-Effing Trump. This guy could see America wasn't going to win, so he just got a crowbar and pulled a Tanya Harding on China's 5G.

Just went in straight there. The man might not know what 5G is, but he does know how to mess up other people's shit, it's just in there. Bam! And I'm going to be honest with you, I don't actually blame Donald Trump because I don't know how else America can win this race. Because even if America does manage to cripple Huawei and China, it's not like America will suddenly have great 5G, right?

You won't just have 5G overnight. Unless America just pretends that it does. AT&T is putting a fake 5G logo on iPhones and iPads now. The company confirmed it to PC magazine that the new icon is going to show up when users download Apple's latest beta version of iOS 12.2 but it's not really 5g. AT&T just changed the name for its 4G LTE advanced network to 5g E. The E stands for Evolution. Okay guys that that's really sad. AT&T's just gonna lie and put another stick. It's like you have a smart car, and then you just tape Lamborghini on the side of it.

Let's check it out, man. Driving a Lambo now, zero to 60 and four minutes flat. But, seeing as it's a race that might be lost, AT&T might be onto something here, because this is considered the new space race. So maybe America can win this race the same way it won the last one.
