Jason Whitlock joins Jemele to talk about falconspiracy theories, sports, and the death of Betty. Plus, a special guest appearance from Jason Whitlock's former college basketball teammate Gerald A. "Black Gary" Jenkins.
00:00:00.000Federal law prohibits filming of endangered falcons except for educational purposes.
00:00:16.000To avoid federal crimes and maximum penalty of up to five years in prison, the following comedy sketch has been edited in post-production to be educational.
00:00:51.000Actually, it's falconry, which historically was a popular sport and status symbol among the nobles of medieval Europe and Japan, where it's called takaguri.
00:01:01.000Falconry has been around forever and may have even been started in Mesopotamia.
00:01:08.000He's got a hysterical little helmet with a spear.
00:01:15.000The falcon's hood, used during the phase of its acclimating to humans, which is referred to as the manning process, is used to keep the raptor in a calm state, both in early parts of its training and throughout its life.
00:01:33.000You think we can get her to attack Brendan?
00:01:46.000Falcons aren't naturally human aggressive.
00:01:48.000Kestra will do well starting with chicken hearts, livers, then switching to other meats like sparrows, other small birds, ducks, ducks and pigeons, and then move on to mice and insects.
00:02:04.000So remember, if you see a falcon in the wild, it's more afraid of you than you are of him.
00:05:42.000She came back, and so we were doing this for Instagram, getting this video ready, like, Betty's gonna come back, you know, like, you know, when soldiers come home?
00:15:41.000Yeah, and even the guy, this is what I was reading, the guy responded, Marquez, who was hit, by the way, my team and I are fine and I appreciate your concern.
00:15:49.000I hope for equal justice under the law and will continue to report on this vital story as it unfolds.
00:15:53.000That's like when Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and he made him apologize.
00:16:00.000Which, I think I am in the extreme minority here, in that I really don't like a lot of Dick Cheney's policy, but I adore him as a person, and no one else feels that way!
00:16:09.000Just because, when he leaned into John Edwards' microphone, if you guys don't remember this, people out there, I know we have a lot of younger viewers, just so you know, language warning, he was debating John Edwards, remember this?
00:16:18.000And John Edwards brought up his daughter being a lesbian, and like, you should support this with your daughter, and after the debate, they finished it, and Dick Cheney leaned in and said, Deliberately, by the way, because he said it into John Edwards' lapel mic.
00:16:29.000He said, you can go fuck yourself for that.
00:17:56.000It doesn't just mean like, you know, putting them on a smaller bench.
00:17:58.000It means that they want to add seats to the court.
00:18:02.000Now, here's what's interesting about this.
00:18:04.000Biden's point of view has changed dramatically over the years, kind of, I mean, like Hillary Clinton with gay marriage, or Barack Obama with gay marriage, or Kamala Harris with Gay marriage and weed.
00:18:17.000So for people who don't know, let's set the stage because now Democrats are actually pushing forward.
00:18:21.000It was supposed to be an investigation into whether they should pack the court.
00:18:24.000Democrats said, let's stop with the theater.
00:20:58.000The commission will produce, quote, an analysis of the principal arguments of the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, you know, including the appraisal of the merits and legality and... Okay, so they're like, okay, they're proposing... Now, House Democrats and Jerry Nadler, they're just going to be introducing legislation today, right, to add four Four justices to the Supreme Court.
00:21:18.000They just didn't even think about one.
00:21:51.000This was during Reconstruction where we added the justice and we decided on nine.
00:21:57.000And that's because, think about it, you're in a point reconstruction, you're talking about after the Civil War, it was more of a pragmatic reason because you'd have these justices, these judges, who would have to travel all around to these circuit courts, and so they divided them into certain, basically considered regional sort of responsibilities, and they needed that amount of judges.
00:22:16.000I think it was actually FDR wanted to do it, and even Democrats were vehemently opposed to it.
00:22:22.000So this is something that may surprise a lot of people, but not that it's determined by polls, not that policy needs to be determined by polls, but the vast majority of Americans, I should say the majority of Americans, also oppose CorkPak.
00:24:25.000Well, they're just getting pelted with concrete water bottles.
00:24:29.000Judicial is supposed to be the least politicized.
00:24:32.000It's supposed to be separate and apart, right?
00:24:34.000It really is supposed to be a non-political branch of government.
00:24:38.000However, we know that's not necessarily the case, right?
00:24:41.000We know that judges can be partisan, but that's not what they're supposed to be.
00:24:45.000There used to be a debate in this country at one point about judicial activism, you know, sort of about how people approach, if they were originalists, right, if they were contextualists with the Constitution, But it still was designed to at least keep up the appearance, the air of impartiality.
00:25:01.000They've blown way past that right now.
00:25:03.000And they were accusing Donald Trump of packing the courts by filling vacant seats in his final year, which again, there's plenty of historical precedent for that.
00:25:10.000There is not for simply adding seats to the court without a pragmatic geographic reason before the gift of flight.
00:29:52.000Ice cream makers from the state of Vermont have told you what the problem is, and of course it's got really, it's got a lot of steam behind it on social media.
00:30:01.000Though some think they were tone-deaf, missing the mark a little bit with their celebratory offering, Jamaican Me Tazy, and that seems like it's a little bit, yeah, off the mark.
00:32:30.000I usually don't address Trevor Noah because I don't want to punch down.
00:32:34.000But Trevor Noah now, what's interesting too, this is something really important.
00:32:38.000Trevor Noah, all of his videos are raising, they're raising money for a nonprofit
00:32:42.000if you check out YouTube right now for some COVID relief thing.
00:32:44.000Also his videos, if you look, they have these really high view counts
00:32:50.000but very low interaction rates comparatively.
00:32:52.000So they're always auto, I don't know about you, let me know if you notice this,
00:32:55.000always when I'm watching content, usually more conservative content on YouTube,
00:32:59.000it auto plays Seth Meyers or Trevor Noah.
00:33:02.000I have spoken with a lot of people, a lot of leftist people.
00:33:06.000I don't know anyone who listens to Trevor Noah or watches Trevor Noah.
00:33:10.000I don't know anyone who likes Trevor Noah.
00:33:12.000I don't know anyone who would even give him a save-the-date if he was a relative thrice removed with Trevor Noah.
00:33:21.000He's a walking straw man, so just think of it this way.
00:33:25.000How much accountability do we have on this show?
00:33:27.000Trevor Noah can just make claims and use the most basic logical fallacies that you will learn in your first semester at college and no one will ever call him on it.
00:33:44.000And I also think, look, it's dangerous.
00:33:46.000I think this is dangerous, and I'm not saying someone just speak—he can speak however he wants.
00:33:50.000The issue is when Trevor Noah can go out there and advocate that men beat the hell out of women in sports, and that children should be allowed on puberty blockers, and then the powers that be silence and throttle opposing opinions like—that's when you get into danger.
00:34:08.000Danger is eliminating voices so that people hear only one.
00:34:12.000And then they bitch about echo chambers.
00:34:14.000So here, let's go to Trevor Noah, a couple of claims here that he makes regarding transgender athletes, males in female sports, and puberty blockers, and go through it piece by piece.
00:34:26.000is that when it comes to major issues with tons of evidence, like climate change, or coronavirus, or gun violence, they're like, huh, let's wait until we see more evidence.
00:34:38.000But now, there's an issue that barely even exists, and they're like, we don't got time for evidence!
00:35:36.000He doesn't understand what sports are about, and he uses right away one of the very first logical fallacies that you learn about.
00:35:44.000You have the logical fallacies of the appeal to authority fallacy, the correlation does not equal causation fallacy, and this is one that I'll use Latin for you, a little bit of the Romance languages.
00:35:55.000It's a fallacy, and let me read the textbook definition.
00:35:58.000This fallacy is the opposite of appeal to tradition, and that it is an attempt to claim that the newness or modernity of something is evidence of its truth and superiority.
00:36:12.000The novelty of the idea or proposition does not entail its truth or falsity.
00:36:17.000So, he's saying, there's no evidence here.
00:36:58.000Me going, well there's no evidence of bankruptcy yet because you just started it.
00:37:02.000You just started allowing men into women's sports, so don't try and act like you have a body of evidence.
00:37:08.000Yeah, well, and a couple of the things that he listed, it's a bad argument, but he even set it up poorly because he's listing things that there is wide debate about, right?
00:37:15.000If you believe in climate change having this gigantic effect versus having a small effect, if China's gonna play a role, if it's man-made, if it's a natural cause thing, if it's both, like, all of these things are worth discussing, and he's like, these are all terrible things that we know exist for Yeah, he says conservatives would want to wait for more evidence, and then he tries to imply.
00:38:57.000So what science do we have available to us, considering that we haven't done a mass experiment with women having the crap kicked out of them?
00:39:38.000Let's, before we get to the direct competition that they're talking about, because there are more examples in Connecticut, Let's look at the world records.
00:39:45.000Men's world record one mile run, 3 minutes 43 seconds.
00:39:49.000The women's, 4 minutes and 12 seconds.
00:40:09.000There's a lot more at stake here than a plastic trophy.
00:40:12.000This is something people need to understand.
00:40:14.000First off, the fundamental reason for sports is to be the best.
00:40:16.000This is the issue with social justice wokeness.
00:40:18.000This is the same root cause of people kneeling at the football game, of people saying that you better pay the WNBA players just as much as you pay LeBron James.
00:40:26.000It's them saying, well sports aren't about who's best, it's about it being fair.
00:40:55.000It's hard to tell the difference between the players there anyway.
00:40:59.000But the issue here is it's not just a plastic trophy.
00:41:03.000Women actually get hurt because they're not saying, hey, let's just keep it to ping pong or billiards.
00:41:09.000Once you open this, how do you say not women's contact sports?
00:41:13.000Case in point, Fallon Fox, a man who lived as a man for his entire life and fathered children, now identifies as female, shattered a woman's orbital bone.
00:42:11.000We've never in history have we ever had to have this conversation before.
00:42:13.000We've never had to have the conversation, are the best men better than the best women?
00:42:17.000Or even the average man and average woman?
00:42:19.000You know what they do in peewee football?
00:42:21.000They have weight limits. It doesn't matter if you're the right age, it doesn't matter if you've
00:42:24.000played for the team before, it matters how much you weigh.
00:42:27.000If you are 10 pounds or 5 pounds or 1 pound over that limit, you don't get to play. You know why?
00:42:33.000They're protecting kids. We know this.
00:42:35.000It is built into every sport that we have that has that kind of a rule.
00:42:39.000And I'd hate to step on you, but you'll have liberals say, well then why? Then gender doesn't matter. Weight limits.
00:42:43.000Okay, now take the weight limit and make a fat percentage, a body fat percentage, differential of 15% because women have more body fat and they have less bone density.
00:43:48.000Don't show the picture yet because the picture is hysterical.
00:43:52.000So female Connecticut high school athletes, not only are they cheated out of athletic scholarships, in Connecticut, the number one and two placing track winners were transgender male to females.
00:45:01.000Won a women's cycling world championship, but also set the world record in the trial.
00:45:07.000And here's what I want you to watch in this clip.
00:45:10.000Is how this Rachel McKinnon, this trans athlete, just rockets past this woman without that much effort and then takes their feet off the pedals to coast.
00:45:19.000Because, like, I want to win, but not by that much because then they're going to make me, you know, get on more hormone blockers and I don't want to fracture my femur.
00:47:08.000Hannah Mouncey, male, identifies as woman, was one of the Australian women's handball team top scorers.
00:47:18.000And by the way, Hannah played for the men Before beating women in, by the way, it's not that much of a contact sport, but when you watch this you'll see that Hannah turns it into one.
00:47:30.000And see if you can spot the difference.
00:47:35.000I warn you, if you have small children who compete in athletics, they probably shouldn't watch this because they'll quit.
00:48:20.000And it's just, this is a lie that is agreed upon, right?
00:48:23.000Where everyone just sits, everyone just sits here and goes like, uh, oh yeah, and then, and then, uh, oh yeah, Hannah back there just in the huddle, uh, you know, just, uh, yeah, hey, come on, that's a foul, but you know, sometimes gets a little handsy.
00:48:37.000And we all just, we all just go along with this.
00:49:47.000He doesn't know what's going on the other side of apartheid.
00:49:51.000Set the record, Mary Gregory, male, identifies as woman, set the Masters World Record for the squat, deadlift, and bench press while competing as a woman before being stripped of the records and then, of course, screaming outrage.
00:50:02.000Because, listen, no justice, no bits and pieces.
00:51:09.000We know this when we're talking about anabolic steroid science.
00:51:12.000We act as though we have no evidence when injecting estrogen or giving men estrogen directly.
00:51:18.000We know this because you have men out there who take steroids.
00:51:21.000They take estrogen blockers or rheumatase inhibitors and it has to be closely monitored because if they take too much and they end up getting their estrogen levels out of whack, one of the first things they warn you about is bone problems.
00:51:33.000So you're now taking a man with the bone musculature of a man and you're giving him the hormonal treatment of a woman to drastically and quickly reduce bone density.
00:51:43.000So we know it's not healthy, we know it comes with serious side effects, but for some reason we've abandoned the science.
00:52:15.000But she also, I'm sorry I looked at the cyclist thing a little bit more because I do cycling and thought that this would be something representative of what I do.
00:52:50.000It's like 10 transgender athletes speak out.
00:52:52.000And the first ones are male to females.
00:52:54.000And they're saying, what people don't understand is that I've undergone hormone replacement therapy, and it drastically has reduced my size.
00:53:30.000Actually, females who would compete against males who are given an exemption where they're allowed to take testosterone, that's also unfair because men can't take it.
00:53:39.000And it's not because they'll get their testosterone levels to that of a man.
00:53:42.000It's that when you allow someone an exemption, remember they went through this in the UFC, they banned it because what happened is they said, okay, a lot of these fighters, they damaged their endocrine system, you know, they're cutting weight, their testosterone's low, we'll let them elevate it to the levels that are comparable to people in their age bracket.
00:53:57.000You can go read these case studies in the UFC.
00:53:59.000But then what happened was they realized it was impossible to catch people who were cheating because they were taking water-suspended testosterone that would be in their system and out in four hours.
00:54:11.000And so it wasn't that you couldn't just get your levels to normal, it's that these guys were blasting it out of their minds, and because they had an exemption, they didn't have the tests to catch it.
00:54:21.000This is the guy from that Pink News article.
00:56:11.000I don't know the difference between a sneaker and a tennis shoe, to be honest.
00:56:13.000I thought sneakers were about sneaking, but it seems like they're the same thing.
00:56:15.000The point is, I'm not saying that I will beat the tennis sisters.
00:56:19.000But a man who's ranked in the 200, the man who wouldn't even be able to make the show, who probably has to work a part-time job flipping tires, demolished them in an afternoon.
00:56:27.000I'm not saying it would beat the world record female sprint holder, but I'm also not saying that it requires an elite male.
00:56:33.000I'm saying there are 15,000 men who beat the female all-time world record.
00:56:38.000The average man kicks the shit out of the top woman!
00:57:15.000Here's a needle exchange, let the games begin.
00:57:18.000And lest I be insensitive, this would be like somebody saying, I identify as somebody who's disabled, and so I want to be able to participate.
00:57:27.000There are people who identify as disabled.
01:02:43.000And not to mention, the whole premise of modern gender theory, which by the way, you go back to Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, John Money, we've talked about this.
01:02:51.000We'll have all the sources available at ladderworthcrowder.com.
01:02:53.000It still started with the idea of two genders.
01:02:55.000It started with the idea that sex was biological, that some people exist on a spectrum.
01:02:58.000However, it's based on the idea that someone can be born With the wrong brain in the wrong body, meaning someone with a female brain is born into a male body, or someone with a male brain born into a female body.
01:03:12.000So how can you force that as the premise, right?
01:03:15.000Thrust it upon society as a lie that people agree upon, and then say, by the way, there are no differences between the male and female body.
01:03:20.000Well, then how could you be in the wrong body?
01:03:22.000We're all just Steven Spielberg alien amoebas!
01:03:47.000I think that putting children who are not of the age of consent on puberty blockers, permanently altering their sexual capabilities, I believe it's child abuse.
01:03:58.000If adults want to get on hormone treatment and it doesn't affect anybody else, they don't want to compete in women's sports, they can do what they want by themselves.
01:04:05.000I don't think it should be taxpayer-funded.
01:04:07.000However, zero tolerance, none, for children on hormone blockers.
01:04:13.000Here you go is him trying to make the scientific case.
01:04:16.000Keep in mind, this is the man who didn't look at the pictures or titles of the previous articles, now telling you, trust the science, his science on puberty blockers.
01:04:23.000Republican lawmakers are also not doctors.
01:04:26.000And people who are doctors see things very differently.
01:04:30.000Major medical organizations such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics oppose the bill.
01:04:36.000With alarm and dismay, pediatricians have watched bills through state legislatures across the country.
01:04:42.000It threatens the health and well-being of transgender youth.
01:04:45.000Young people, when they reach a certain age, If they have gender dysphoria, which means that they experience mental duress because they are transgender, might not want to go through puberty.
01:04:59.000We just set another world record for mental gymnastics.
01:05:02.000Puberty blockers so that they don't have to go through puberty and can make a decision when they're older about whether or not they want to medically transition.
01:05:09.000Me turning into a man is just probably the most horrifying thing ever.
01:05:42.000Weight gain, hot flashes, headaches, bone density problems, future fertility problems, stunted genital growth, not to mention mood disorders.
01:06:29.000He just said it was racism, it was sexism, it was transphobism, even though gender isn't a thing, and now he says that it's only hate.
01:06:36.000The only reason Republicans would maybe oppose biological males competing in women's sports or not giving puberty blockers to six-year-olds is hate.
01:06:53.000Being a demographic that attempts suicide 42% of the time, maybe it's that I don't want them to have future health complications.
01:06:59.000We're about to have Jason Whitlock on the show.
01:07:00.000We know that there are a lot of people who use performance-enhancing drugs in high levels of sports who then ended up with cancer, ended up with all kinds of endocrine issues.
01:07:07.000To say that we don't know anything about cross-sex hormone replacement therapy is simply dishonest.
01:07:13.000We don't know enough about what it does to kids yet if you entirely block puberty.
01:07:18.000Maybe walking with you through a very difficult time in life and giving you an opportunity to make an informed decision.
01:07:57.000They've also reversed the Hippocratic Oath.
01:07:59.000Just like earlier, Trevor Noah said, Republicans, conservatives, they hate science because, you know, there's no scientific evidence to show that there's an advantage for a male, biological male, competing with women.
01:08:07.000So right now, what they're saying is, well, look, the Hippocratic Oath is first, do no harm.
01:08:31.000The point here is, why would you put them on puberty blockers and act as though the least invasive methodology as a doctor is to put them on mind-altering puberty blockers, and then afterwards they'll probably be fine if they decide they don't want to.
01:10:16.000There were actually more kids who identified as transgender than have ever identified as lesbian.
01:10:21.000So that brings in the nature or nurture argument, where it's like, why would there be this skyrocketing number of them?
01:10:27.000And we don't have a lot of them competing in women's sports in the past, but it looks like every women's record will probably be gone pretty soon.
01:10:37.000I agree with the solution of just a transgender league, and they can compete amongst themselves.
01:10:44.000Because if you have someone who's transgender on testosterone, then anyone there should be able to take whatever they want and just let the games begin.
01:11:11.000I know when I've just done even local grappling tournaments and there's someone who you've been up against, and then six months later you go, this is not the same person.
01:11:34.000And so I really didn't care what the other guys did because it was a non-issue for me.
01:11:40.000Strength was not something I struggled with.
01:11:43.000You know, eating was something I struggled with, but not strength.
01:11:47.000But it was funny, the coaches actually favored the steroid users Over someone like me.
01:11:58.000I was a bit of a locker room lawyer and I can remember very good friend of mine.
01:12:03.000I was the bench press was the big deal and you know, whoever convinced the most of the big deal your picture was up in the locker room in a prominent place and the coaches hated me so much that they let someone else retest months later after he did a steroid cycle and he broke my record and they put his picture up immediately.
01:12:26.000You know, we played different positions, but... Wow.
01:12:30.000Yeah, there's... Well, you know, Gerald here, he played football at Notre Dame, and he's so glib, he didn't think that people took steroids, so... Are you joking?
01:13:16.000I just think they got beaten up so bad by people raising the question like, why the hell did you do this to this guy?
01:13:23.000Uh, that they folded and sent me an apology.
01:13:25.000And for people who don't know the tweet and question, uh, that resulted in it from what we know is he tweeted that, uh, the Black Lives Matter founder bought a $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%.
01:13:37.000And then you add a little sting to it saying she's with her people.
01:15:19.000And it's all been a distortion of the truth because police brutality and I say this having lost A close relative, a cousin that I helped raise, was killed by police in 2012 in Indianapolis.
01:15:33.000I actually understand the injustice of police brutality, but it's greatly overblown in America.
01:15:39.000There's 50 million, 100 million engagements police have with our citizens.
01:15:46.000And a very tiny percentage of them spin out of control and lead to someone dying.
01:15:51.000You know, people often talk about white privilege and stuff like that.
01:15:54.000And the issue here is obviously identifying people exclusively by their race as a problem.
01:15:59.000But I will say something here as a white person.
01:16:01.000I do feel a privilege, and I talked with someone about this that changed my mind, where I have not, as a white man,
01:16:09.000no one says, you have to fit into this specific box.
01:16:12.000In other words, when I'm a kid, I can listen to metal, I can listen to hip hop, I can listen to country,
01:16:16.000and no one says, you're not white enough.
01:16:18.000In other words, I had a black friend who was an Iron Maiden fan, and his friend said,
01:16:26.000where it's you don't have the right opinions as black.
01:16:29.000And what's interesting is the overwhelming majority of black Americans
01:16:33.000want at least as much or more police presence than they currently have in
01:16:36.000their communities. And we've been talking about this, you know, I go to a church that's mixed. I feel, and I know a
01:16:43.000lot of the black people there, even though they're Christians, they vote
01:16:45.000Democrat, but I feel a lot more comfortable around black Democrats. We have
01:16:49.000more in common than the white Democrats right now.
01:16:52.000It's almost like black Democrats, if you look at the actual representatives in America, as opposed to who's speaking in the media, they're the moderate wing of the Democratic Party.
01:17:00.000Your views that you're talking about right now are far more representative, statistically, in poll after poll, of the average black American than the talking head on CNN.
01:17:10.000Why is it white people on Twitter removing you for having the wrong black opinion?
01:17:16.000Because, Stephen, And this is just the truth, and I'm sorry if anybody gets offended by it.
01:17:23.000The white liberal is the actual out-of-the-closet bigot.
01:17:28.000The white liberal is the direct descendant, mentally, and world point of view as it relates to race, the direct descendant of slave owners and bigots.
01:17:42.000They believe that black is a special category of human beings that restricts your freedom.
01:17:52.000And that's what they believed in 1600s.
01:17:54.000That's what these white liberals believe now.
01:17:57.000And that's why they want to capitalize the B and black because we're a special category of human beings.
01:18:03.000And so we want to designate them over here and they can only think one way.
01:18:08.000And just as you said, we're the only people that have no political freedom.
01:18:16.000Because if we And again, I'm a non voter and I tend to abhor politics and politicians on both sides.
01:18:25.000I have in recent years just like discovering like man, this white liberal thing.
01:18:32.000Yes, that pure racism on the other side.
01:18:36.000But but as black people again, if you think any conservative thought if you stay true to what you were taught in the church, oh my god, you've sold black people out.
01:19:14.000That's also one thing, too, I will say.
01:19:16.000It's this unholy alliance, because when you look at liberals and they talk about the patriarchy, I go, do you understand that in the black community, gender roles are way more clearly defined?
01:19:26.000They don't have a problem with this idea of masculinity, either.
01:19:29.000They just want black people's votes, not liberals.
01:19:32.000Yeah, you got to use the word word because they're blurring those lines.
01:20:22.000I sit and laugh and I'm listening to you talk about the church, you go to it and be in mixed race.
01:20:27.000And it confirms a thought that I had about you just following you and your show and the controversy from afar.
01:20:32.000The reason why you're so daring Is because in your actual life, you don't live a racist life.
01:20:41.000And so it makes you more fearless in your public job on this show.
01:20:46.000Whereas the people that are doing all the social mimic gimmicks and virtue signaling, if you go examine their real life, it's not as diverse, it's not as inclusive as your life.
01:21:00.000No, not at all. Here's the thing. The left believes that race identifies every facet of
01:21:05.000human being and needs to be the defining factor, but is off limits for jokes. And I'm the exact
01:21:10.000opposite. Race doesn't mean all that much, but it's fun for jokes.
01:21:13.000That's why we have my half-Asian lawyer.
01:21:14.000I mean, we have a pretty diverse group of people here.
01:21:18.000Matter of fact, probably the most racist person here is a Colombian, but it's only against Argentinians.
01:21:48.000And I said, and I was speaking with a black student, I said, I've never heard an argument that strikes me as anything other than deeply racist.
01:21:56.000I said, the idea that black people can't get an ID.
01:21:58.000He said, well, a lot of them don't have ID.
01:22:00.000I said, well, statistically, that's not true.
01:22:01.000It's anywhere from 86 to 90% of the population.
01:22:04.000But why do you think they can't get an ID?
01:22:07.000Well, because some of them don't live near a DMV.
01:22:09.000I said, well, statistically, they live in urban areas.
01:22:12.000Statistically, if we're going to talk about disenfranchising voters, it would be the white rural farmer, because they might have to drive an hour and a half.
01:22:16.000I said, so you don't think black people can, they live near, can they use a bus?
01:22:47.000It's not the bigotry of, or it's not the soft bigotry of low expectations.
01:22:52.000It is the bigotry of low expectations.
01:22:55.000And they hit us with that all the time.
01:22:57.000And the number one reason why I'm against that is because I've succeeded in corporate America, despite, I probably graduated high school with a 2.8 grade point average.
01:25:04.000Gerald here who played at Notre Dame, he has a question for you.
01:25:06.000And then we're going to go to Mug Club so YouTube doesn't ban us.
01:25:09.000But what was your question there, Gerald?
01:25:10.000Jason, so you said something earlier that the media is basically, especially the sports media, is kind of bowing at the altar of BLM, right?
01:25:17.000You said they're just afraid of them, right?
01:25:19.000You have stepped out, and Charles Barkley got in a lot of hot water recently for kind of stepping out, and just saying everybody was probably pretty decent at the core, I didn't think that was controversial.
01:25:28.000Are there other people in this environment, in the media network, in the sports media, black men that would come to you and say that they agreed behind the scenes but just wouldn't have the ability or maybe the courage to go and say it on air or something like that?
01:25:43.000Are there more people out there that can say it?
01:25:44.000Because honestly, Steven and I can say this all we want, but having another white guy say it doesn't quite carry the same amount of weight.
01:25:55.000I think that it's tough, to be quite honest with you, because if you get social media backlash, the executives, the white executives, they get scared.
01:26:07.000Oh my God, you know, I don't want my employees seen as being anti-black or sellouts or racist.
01:26:14.000And so so many executives are controlled by social media, that I don't blame a lot of black media people for living in fear of social media.
01:26:24.000And yes, I think many of them agree with a lot of things that I say.
01:26:31.000They don't feel like they're free to say them without facing severe repercussions.
01:26:38.000And so they don't you got to remember, I'm single with no kids.
01:26:42.000And so I get to be a bit more fearless than some 45 year old guy that's got a wife and two kids and he gets on the wrong side of Twitter, loses his job.
01:27:26.000All right, hey, Jason, we're going to go to Mug Club here, but while we're still on YouTube, where's the best place for people to support you?
01:27:33.000Well, at Whitlock Jason on Twitter for right now, and very soon I'm going to announce what I'm going to be doing next, and I'll just have to ask people to stay tuned for that.
01:27:43.000Okay, all right, and we're going to stay in line with Jason Whitlock here, so we go to Mug Club where he can say what he really thinks.
01:27:48.000My guess is if he wants to stomp some crackers.
