:49:03
We're predators.
:49:12
It's about competition
it's about market share

:49:14
it's about
being aggressive

:49:16
and it's about
shareholder value.

:49:19
What is your
stock at today?

:49:21
If you’re a CEO
:49:24
I mean do you think your
shareholders really care

:49:28
whether you’re Billie
Buttercup or not?

:49:31
Do you think that
they really

:49:33
they would prefer you
to be a nice guy?

:49:36
Over having money
in their pocket?

:49:39
I don’t think so.
:49:40
I think people want money.
:49:42
That’s the bottom line.
:49:44
The fact that most of these
companies are run

:49:46
by white men
white rich men

:49:48
means that they
are out of touch

:49:50
with what the majority
of the world is.

:49:52
Because the majority
of this planet

:49:54
are not a bunch
of rich white guys.

:49:57
They are people
of other colours

:49:58
they are the majority.
:50:00
Women are the majority
:50:01
the poor
and working poor

:50:03
make up the majority
of this planet.

:50:06
So the decisions
they make

:50:08
come from not the reality
that exists in the world.

:50:14
How much is enough?
:50:16
How much is enough?
:50:17
If you are a billionaire
:50:19
would it be okay just
to be a half a billionaire?

:50:20
Wouldn’t it be okay
for your company

:50:23
to make a little
less money...

:50:25
When I bought those
two airplane tickets

:50:27
for Phil Knight and myself
to fly to Indonesia

:50:30
I was prepared for him
to say okay lets go.

:50:34
Oh no not a chance
:50:36
Not a chance.
:50:37
No?
:50:38
They’re transferable.
:50:39
I can change it
to another day.

:50:40
And call me on it.
:50:41
Call my bluff.
:50:42
He’s a smart guy.
:50:43
I mean he’s not
he’s not stupid.

:50:44
And so I thought okay
get ready for this.

:50:46
Especially because you know
I bought first-class tickets.

:50:49
So you know it would be a
comfortable ride at least

:50:52
you know and of course he
tells me then on camera.

:50:55
I’ve never been to Indonesia.
:50:58
And I’m like taken
aback by this.
