1
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,853
Nice to meet you.
2
00:00:14,932 --> 00:00:17,232
- Okay.
- Yes.

00:00:17,309 --> 00:00:19,939
[Sacha Baron Cohen] In Borat
Subsequent Moviefilm,
4
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,860
I lived with two
conspiracy theorists,
5
00:00:21,939 --> 00:00:23,819
in character, for several days.
6
00:00:23,941 --> 00:00:24,941
- Vaccines.
- Bill Gates.
7
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,685
- Mail-in ballots.
- Chinese virus.
8
00:00:26,777 --> 00:00:28,567
-Drink their blood.
-Not nice.
9
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:30,244
[Sacha] The myths
and misinformation
10
00:00:30,322 --> 00:00:31,452
they shared with Borat
11
00:00:31,532 --> 00:00:33,242
fuel a dangerous rhetoric
12
00:00:33,325 --> 00:00:34,985
that is tearing apart societies
13
00:00:35,077 --> 00:00:35,997
in front of our eyes.
14
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:37,868
In this series of episodes,
15
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:41,125
we'll introduce Jim and Jerry
to world-leading experts,
16
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:43,787
doctors and academics,
who will address
17
00:00:43,878 --> 00:00:46,088
some of the most dangerous
conspiracies head-on
18
00:00:46,172 --> 00:00:48,672
and debunk them face-to-face.
19
00:00:48,758 --> 00:00:49,678
Hello, Jim and Jerry.
20
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:51,799
This is Hillary Rodham Clinton.
21
00:00:57,099 --> 00:00:58,849
[Jim] You know
these pallets of bricks
22
00:00:58,934 --> 00:01:00,064
that are being thrown
at the cops?
23
00:01:00,144 --> 00:01:02,064
- Yeah.
- Do you know who owns that?
24
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:03,686
- Bill Gates.
- [Jerry] Yeah.
25
00:01:03,773 --> 00:01:05,273
Bill Gates makes gates?
26
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:06,727
He makes bricks.
27
00:01:11,155 --> 00:01:13,735
[narrator] In 2020, during
Black Lives Matter protests,
28
00:01:13,824 --> 00:01:16,124
photos circulated
on social media
29
00:01:16,202 --> 00:01:19,292
of conspicuous pallets of bricks
in protest areas.
30
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,710
The posts, a warning
to fellow protesters,
31
00:01:21,791 --> 00:01:24,291
suggested that the bricks
had been placed by police
32
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:27,046
to incite violence
and property destruction
33
00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:28,839
as a way to increase arrests.
34
00:01:28,923 --> 00:01:31,803
However, after the story
of a Dallas police horse
35
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:33,644
getting hit with a brick
got picked up
36
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:35,389
by the conservative news site
Breitbart,
37
00:01:35,471 --> 00:01:37,811
it began to circulate
more widely.
38
00:01:37,890 --> 00:01:39,270
At that point,
39
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:42,600
the narrative switched
from Black lives to blue lives.
40
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:46,396
Infamous conspiracy theorist
Alex Jones distorted the story,
41
00:01:46,482 --> 00:01:48,982
again online,
laying the blame at the feet
42
00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:51,568
of a building supplier
Acme Brick,
43
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:53,664
a small company in the portfolio
44
00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:55,569
of Warren Buffett's
Berkshire Hathaway.
45
00:01:55,658 --> 00:02:00,958
A former board member of
Berkshire Hathaway, Bill Gates.
46
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:03,248
This created the conspiracy
theory that anarchists
47
00:02:03,332 --> 00:02:05,792
were being funded by Gates
to spur violence
48
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:08,086
at Black Lives Matter
protests around the U.S.
49
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:11,590
Aspects of this conspiracy
theory were even shared
50
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:14,894
by the NYPD
and Trump's White House.
51
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:18,642
[Mutale Nkonde] Hey,
Jim and Jerry.
52
00:02:18,722 --> 00:02:20,722
How are you?
I feel like I know you two.
53
00:02:20,808 --> 00:02:21,888
It's good to meet youse.
54
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:23,386
Nice to be able to sit here
and talk to you.
55
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:26,147
In my work, I try to describe it
to people
56
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:28,440
as being, like,
an Internet detective.
57
00:02:28,524 --> 00:02:30,614
[newswoman] Mutale Nkonde
is a fellow
58
00:02:30,693 --> 00:02:33,653
at the Berkman Kleine Center
at Harvard.
59
00:02:33,696 --> 00:02:37,776
[Mutale] We have been looking
at how platform companies
60
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:41,407
allow their recommendation
algorithms
61
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:43,535
to spread disinformation.
62
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:49,587
I haven't really seen much
protesting in person, myself.
63
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,590
What I have seen on TV
64
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:53,222
has shown a lot of violence.
65
00:02:53,299 --> 00:02:56,219
[Mutale] I saw crazy things
looking down
66
00:02:56,302 --> 00:02:59,432
these social media rabbit holes.
67
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:04,103
Everything like huge violence
through to bricks
68
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,104
- to all kinds of...
- I heard that, too.
69
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,476
Pallets of bricks? Is that
what you're talking about?
70
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:11,784
Get this, pile of bricks
literally being stationed
71
00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:14,899
near the sites of where
these protests and riots
72
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:16,567
ultimately become.
73
00:03:16,655 --> 00:03:18,315
They're staging it.
74
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:20,117
[newsman] I mean, you have
these piles of bricks and rocks
75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,450
showing up near the various
protest sites,
76
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:22,445
leading many to assume
77
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,326
the bricks were planted
78
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:27,833
by outside agitators
specifically to stir up trouble.
79
00:03:27,917 --> 00:03:30,957
Most cities have piles of bricks
laying around,
80
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:34,205
and particularly
in the pandemic,
81
00:03:34,298 --> 00:03:36,088
construction had been stopped.
82
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:37,795
[man] Just some
random-ass bricks, bruh.
83
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,755
[newswoman] And these?
Not so random.
84
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:41,715
Video evidence shows
they were there
85
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:45,095
before George Floyd was killed.
86
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:47,984
[Joan] But because you saw
this image of the bricks
87
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:51,482
in different cities,
there was, uh, almost
88
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,645
like an urban legend
around them.
89
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,904
[man 2] I don't know, man, that,
that don't look right to me.
90
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,526
[Andrew Marantz] For
conspiracy theorists,
91
00:03:57,613 --> 00:04:00,123
when you see an image online
92
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:02,829
of a bunch of bricks
on a street corner,
93
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:05,870
instead of thinking,
"I don't know what that is.
94
00:04:05,955 --> 00:04:07,615
Maybe that picture was taken
two years ago..."
95
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:10,326
[newsman] This pile
of bricks in Dallas, Texas.
96
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,797
Google Street View captures
from February this year
97
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:15,838
show the same pile,
again, before the protests.
98
00:04:15,923 --> 00:04:19,183
[Andrew] ...instead of thinking
about innocent explanations,
99
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:22,219
you think "Somebody is trying
100
00:04:22,304 --> 00:04:24,524
to mess with us, and that
somebody is probably
101
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:27,228
some outside interloper
like Bill Gates."
102
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:30,689
Ladies and gentlemen, we've now
discovered who is delivering
103
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,071
bricks to more than 20 cities.
It's Acme Brick,
104
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:36,398
owned by Berkshire Hathaway
and Bill Gates.
105
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,485
There's no reason
to think that's true.
106
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:40,780
Nobody has ever found
any evidence of that.
107
00:04:40,864 --> 00:04:42,704
It's when you have someone,
like Alex Jones,
108
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:46,333
who does disinformation
for a living,
109
00:04:46,412 --> 00:04:49,422
the point is to shock you
and jolt you into attention.
110
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:52,538
Who does Gates work for?
You bet... Satan.
111
00:04:52,626 --> 00:04:55,496
The Gates thing was, of course,
taking advantage of the fact
112
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:57,797
that there was
a Gates conspiracy theory
113
00:04:57,881 --> 00:05:00,181
that was gaining a lot
of momentum and shares online.
114
00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:03,099
So, again, you see
the opportunistic nature
115
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:06,138
of conspiracism, which latches
onto that which is current.
116
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:11,312
Some of the information about,
kind of, like, Bill Gates,
117
00:05:11,395 --> 00:05:12,645
you know, with the bricks.
118
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:14,020
I would probably feel
119
00:05:14,064 --> 00:05:15,574
like that he's got quite a bit
to do with it.
120
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:17,689
But that was supposed to be
antifa. Wasn't it?
121
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:19,646
It was given to anti... or...
122
00:05:19,737 --> 00:05:22,107
Antifa were the ones that were
supposed to have done that.
123
00:05:22,197 --> 00:05:24,237
But I don't know
if that's true or not.
124
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:28,454
Luckily, for us, as a country,
it turned out not to be true.
125
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:30,157
The one truth
about that conspiracy theory
126
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:31,747
is that there were
bricks present.
127
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:34,672
They weren't there specifically
for one side or another.
128
00:05:34,752 --> 00:05:36,092
But the fact
that they were there,
129
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:39,470
that has allowed
for the spreading of lies.
130
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:41,218
I don't know if you all heard,
131
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:43,430
but there was a great study
that came out
132
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:46,470
that showed that 93%
of the protests
133
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:48,015
were peaceful.
134
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:51,188
In my opinion, I don't know
how true that is.
135
00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:54,518
I'm not, like I said, if it's
CNN, Fox, or whoever it is,
136
00:05:54,605 --> 00:05:56,605
I've seen it on several
different news channels.
137
00:05:56,690 --> 00:06:00,570
It showed burning
and people jumping on people,
138
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:02,532
beating the hell out of them.
139
00:06:02,613 --> 00:06:03,993
This is supposed
to be a protest.
140
00:06:04,073 --> 00:06:05,493
This isn't a protest.
141
00:06:05,574 --> 00:06:07,204
Conspiracy theorists say,
142
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:12,004
"Whoever benefits from an event
must have caused it."
143
00:06:12,081 --> 00:06:14,921
Let's say, if the police
benefit from an event,
144
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,250
they must have caused it.
145
00:06:16,335 --> 00:06:18,205
Or if the Black Lives Matter
146
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:19,625
are fired up by an event,
147
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,133
they must have caused it.
148
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:22,925
If they're going to tell
the stories,
149
00:06:23,008 --> 00:06:24,758
they need to tell it
on all of them.
150
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:26,933
Don't pick and choose
what you want to do.
151
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:29,062
Tell all of it. Show all of it.
152
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:30,389
Absolutely.
153
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:34,311
I wish you both the best.
It was nice to meet you.
154
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,814
You, too.
It was nice to meet you.
155
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:37,556
It was good to meet you,
and it was a good talk with you.
156
00:06:37,648 --> 00:06:38,898
[Jim] I'll see you on the
Internet sometime. I'm sure.
157
00:06:38,982 --> 00:06:40,362
Yeah, you will.
