Jared and Stephen are back with a brand new episode of Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. They discuss Wisconsin's primary results, why Donald Trump is still the worst presidential candidate in the country, and why we should all be thankful that he's not running for president.
00:01:32.000And then we have evolutionary biologist Gad Saeed from Montreal, who...
00:01:38.000Who has done some incredible research on the psychology and the sort of evolutionary process of political correctness and why it is ruining everything that it touches.
00:01:48.000Finally, if you think that I've been unfair to Sir Donald Trump, we have my dad, Papa Crowder, on in the last hour.
00:03:27.000Worst week of Donald Trump's political campaign, gaffe after gaffe, self-inflicted wounds, and his disapproval rating went through the roof, and Ted Cruz gained a lot of ground on him.
00:04:18.000In this one, he lost that by about four points.
00:04:21.000So Ted Cruz won women, he won men, he won older people, he won younger people, he won self-professed conservatives, he won moderates, he won independents, he won college educated, he won non-college educated.
00:04:34.000Something else that's really big, because we thought everything else was going to be a landslide going into the Northeast, and it very well could be.
00:04:40.000I still expect New York to be a blowout.
00:04:42.000Ted Cruz did a lot better in big cities.
00:04:44.000Which I think surprised a lot of people.
00:04:46.000And that, when you go east, a lot of these places are big cities.
00:04:49.000And what's important is he wasn't doing that before.
00:05:14.000As long as anyone else remains even remotely competitive, that won't be a blowout.
00:05:18.000California is interesting because it is a winner-take-all, and he's within a point of Cruz, but Pennsylvania is a winner-take-all, and that's the big one, where Kasich, I hate to say it, but Kasich might win Pennsylvania.
00:05:30.000So it comes down to what happens in Pennsylvania.
00:06:30.000And that way we can get all the Trump and political stuff out of the way and get to our guests and speak on more interesting matters.
00:06:36.000Roger Stone, who of course worked in the Trump campaign, does not any longer, but they are on good terms, was on a podcast, Stephen Molyneux?
00:09:39.000This is about these tariffs and these pharmaceutical companies.
00:09:42.000I don't know if you heard they wanted to go out to Ireland because of a lower corporate tax rate.
00:09:46.000And Barack Obama pushed some legislation saying, no, no, you have to stay here.
00:09:50.000The big government, people need to understand this, absolutely screws the middle class and the working class more than any other mechanism of governance out there.
00:10:00.000More than any other mechanism of commerce out there is big government.
00:10:03.000I want to talk about that, but I want to be thorough so it doesn't get taken out of context.
00:10:07.000You made a good point before we get into all this stuff.
00:10:10.000Speaking of people being beaten, you were talking about being raised this week.
00:10:21.000And I had finished that, and I was really surprised.
00:10:23.000I mean, I grew up, I was born in 90, so I was a young child playing with my boogers when O.J. was racing down the 403 or whatever the highway it is in his white bronco.
00:10:49.000Because I remember, you know, I grew up in the 90s, and so I watched, you know, some of the shows I watched were Family Matters and, you know, Fresh Prince, Cosby Show.
00:11:16.000When you talk about this division, not only in politics and the Trump situation, but of course the left has been the biggest culprit with that.
00:14:27.000So, I want to follow the logic trail here, because right away people get mad at big pharmaceutical companies and go, yeah, they don't have the right to do that.
00:14:33.000So, they say, oh my gosh, highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, the United States.
00:14:37.000We're going to put our business in Ireland.
00:14:41.000That way we can continue to sustain ourselves.
00:14:45.000Barack Obama, liberals, then create a law to punish American companies that take any of their business offshore.
00:14:58.000These companies, a good example, I just want you to follow me down the logic trail here, will inevitably necessarily raise the price of drugs.
00:15:05.000Again, they're paying over a 30% corporate tax rate.
00:15:07.000Then liberals declare healthcare to be a human right, and they pass legislation to force them to reduce or put a cap on drug prices.
00:15:15.000So they screw the businesses with the high taxes.
00:15:18.000They ban them from legally migrating somewhere where they could avoid that high taxes, of course, eliminating any kind of international competition.
00:15:24.000And then they legislate that these companies lower their profit margins.
00:15:30.000And what's great is that in Europe, their corporate tax rates are much lower.
00:15:37.000Even a lot of these socialist countries that leftists love to praise have lower corporate tax rates because they want to have higher individual tax rates.
00:15:44.000They understand that a corporation being taxed less allows for more money to go to the employees.
00:15:51.000And we hear the United States is the only country without a nationalized health care plan.
00:15:55.000We're also the number one country, we're the only country with number one in research, cures, Nobel Prizes, survival rates.
00:16:10.000So, what do you think is going to happen if you keep these corporate tax rates so high, force companies, let's just use the pharmaceutical industry for a start, force them to stay here, and then say also you can't raise your prices.
00:19:06.000If not, you might have to re-examine your trade policies.
00:19:08.000I'm not saying that we should be getting screwed on trade deals, but this idea that you just want to punish companies and bring back American jobs on shore.
00:19:17.000First off, most of them suck, and what happens with Amazon, when they're able to automate, they're able to create more good jobs here in the United States.
00:20:21.000What happens to the insurance companies?
00:20:22.000Prices go up because they're bringing in people with diabetes and fried Oreos and Snickers bars and cancer, and then the companies lay off full-time workers and force more people to part-time work.
00:20:32.000And now Hillary Clinton is saying she might use an executive action to fix the problem with a rash of part-time employment.
00:21:37.000We are here live at the University of Michigan protests from the student body's LGBTQAAIP protests, where they are demanding that their preferred gender pronouns be used in absence of biology.
00:21:49.000I stand here with their female representative...
00:21:52.000No, see right there, I didn't say female.
00:24:13.000The story I heard was, and this is from reading it several dozen years ago, but I thought it was impressive just because these damn things are strong.
00:24:22.000Lion jumps in the crawl, which is the name for the container, jumps in the crawl, kills a heifer.
00:25:40.000Lions have to be on three paws, and they can paw, whereas a Siberian tiger can actually load up on his hind legs and pounce.
00:25:48.000And so they would just toss in several lions to warm up the tiger, because a lion would come out like this, have to be on three points, and the tiger would just, boom, pounce on the thing.
00:25:58.000Well, what do you think that deal is, the lion rampant?
00:26:04.000Well, you've seen the Scottish national flag.
00:28:27.000You know, there's just not a case to be made for either certainty with respect to anthropogenic global warming, or if, you know, let's postulate that it is being caused by us.
00:28:40.000What the hell are you going to do about it?
00:29:36.000All the people with exercise science degrees that come to our seminar, we have to teach them exercise science because they don't know anything when they get there.
00:29:43.000I'd much rather them have a hard science background, a biology degree, or physics, or math, or chemistry, or something like that, because they know how to think more clearly than the PE majors that sometimes wander in.
00:30:04.000They're trying to turn everything into social science.
00:30:07.000But the point I'd like to make is that here you have a bunch of people with bachelor's degrees in English telling us that one party or another is anti-science.
00:30:31.000How come chemistry majors don't get to be intellectuals?
00:30:36.000How come gender studies people can be intellectuals and a physics major can't be an intellectual because, of course, he's just a math nerd.
00:30:45.000Well, I even take it one step further.
00:30:52.000How come the guy who was a plumber, who started a business, and is making a six-figure income, who filled a void where there was a necessary job, why don't we consider that person an intellectual?
00:31:02.000This guy knows intricacies that we couldn't even begin to understand.
00:32:45.000Is there anything more settled science as far as observable hard science than human DNA?
00:32:52.000But the people who accuse the anti-authoritarian right of being anti-science believe that that penis and your DNA is a figment of your imagination.
00:33:00.000Well, I think you're confusing morphology with genetics there.
00:34:19.000I think that it's some kind of, with the Earth's force and the pact that they've made with said spiritual forces at work, for some reason it's null and void in flyover country.
00:34:49.000Release the hotel rooms and encouraging people.
00:34:51.000At what point does that become a criminal liability?
00:34:53.000Well, at the point where these lunatics drag somebody out into the hall and beat them to death because you told them the room number, right?
00:35:03.000Have you ever noticed that when you check into a hotel, the desk clerk will not even say 309 out loud?
00:36:54.000Well, not only because that mailman was my father, and those workers make up the backbone of America, but he was crossing the road to pursue the American dream and move up the ladder to a living wage and a secure future, a dream we all have here in America.
00:40:22.000It's interesting in that it makes me wonder exactly how they got rid of Jeb, what happened to Jeb.
00:40:28.000He went down to the 2012, he went through the caucus, the county caucuses and everything, was nominated as a delegate to the Republican Convention in Texas in 2012.
00:40:40.000And as a result of this thing, he was going to go down there and vote for Ron Paul.
00:40:49.000By the way, a little known fact for people who don't know, Mitt Romney won some states and Ron Paul won more delegates, same with Texas and Obama and Hillary.
00:40:57.000I think it was Hillary won Texas, Obama got the delegates, or the other way around, but it's not uncommon for someone to win a state and not win the mustache.
00:41:09.000So they go down there, and they get into the convention.
00:41:12.000And the managers of the convention, I don't know what they call them, stewards or whatever, come around, and they're going to poll the delegates to see who's going to vote for who.
00:41:27.000A group of the Ron Paul people are all hanging around together, and they come over and said, who are you guys planning on voting for, for the nominee?
00:42:41.000And that's by design, whether you like it or not.
00:42:43.000That's designed so that someone doesn't just go, hey, we want Rick because he just killed a guy who we didn't like, and we want to make him president.
00:42:49.000So you have people who are semi-responsible saying, well, hold on a second, Rick can't be president.
00:43:50.000But if Donald Trump doesn't have that number going into convention, do you think it's unfair at that point to have another ballot where they put him head-to-head with Cruz?
00:43:58.000Say, okay, get rid of everyone else, put him in a head-to-head, see who wins?
00:44:01.000Or just give it to Trump because he has the most?
00:44:07.000I see no other way than to let the affair play itself out.
00:44:11.000Now, if 1237 isn't accomplished on the second ballot, and then they trot out Paul Ryan, someone who's never been voted for for president before, and he becomes a nominee, boys and girls, there are going to be problems.
00:46:03.000When the s*** goes down, you'll be glad you have my gold.
00:46:12.000Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, where I'm tweeting all day long.
00:46:22.000I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
00:46:24.000You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
00:46:26.000Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
00:48:25.000Of course, if you're listening live or if you're listening to the archives, you can just come on and tweet me and tell me that you hate me, that I'm a disappointment.
00:48:31.000So we are going to go straight to this week in social justice warrior leftism, if you A few crazy stories.
00:50:45.000So, when Mommy and Daddy went on that date on Saturday, we went and got some new clothes, and we got all new girl clothes, and we got Daddy some makeup.
00:50:57.000Okay, I want to get to the point where...
00:50:58.000And now Daddy's going to wear some makeup and wear girls' clothes, and maybe grow Daddy's hair out.
00:52:08.000First off, I hate the gimmick of using children.
00:52:10.000And what I do love about this, and this is something that people miss, is the response from the child directly correlates to the emotional maturity of the father and the mother.
00:53:26.000This is why this is important, because it brings us to another story.
00:53:28.000Because leftists go, well, this is beautiful, and then this other story occurred at Daily Mail, and they don't know how they feel about this.
00:54:10.000You mentioned about my metamorphosis project.
00:54:14.000Just quickly, my metamorphosis project is basically my transitioning from the No Man Pan, the man that I was, to the Eva that I am now today.
00:55:31.000This was Richard Hernandez, who then turned into a woman, which would be the first time maybe something mentally wasn't healthy, and now is a dragon.
00:55:39.000So, the left is trying to say, well, it's perfectly fine for this man to turn into a woman, but going into a dragon, we're not sure if we want to accept that as normal.
00:56:00.000No more absurd than cutting off your tallywhacker.
00:56:06.000You chop off your one-eyed bald man, all of a sudden getting some exaggerated cauliflower wrestler's ear doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
00:56:13.000Putting some knobs in your forehead and calling them horns doesn't seem that big of a deal.
00:56:17.000Once you cut off your penis and create a wound that you have to repeatedly open, otherwise your body closes it, and you're pumping your body full of hormones that no doubt will put you in a shallow cancerous place.
00:56:28.000In that grave in the name of love, however, because we wouldn't want to be intolerant.
00:56:31.000What happened when we were talking about organic food and xenoestrogens and BPAs?
00:56:35.000These people are going to walk around with their steel tumblers and their Nalgene bottles.
00:58:11.000The reason I wanted to include these two together is, again, you can't say, you can't start off with men and women are fundamentally interchangeable, which is required for same-sex marriage, which is required for this trans, LGBTQ, AAIP, real acronym movement, and then all of a sudden say, well, listen, we don't know how we feel about the dragon situation.
00:58:30.000Do we need to create dragon bathrooms, by the way?
00:59:17.000Is your prostate the size of a racquetball caught?
00:59:21.000Do you find yourself going to the restroom and asking, is there a better way?
00:59:26.000Well, I'm Sheldon Silver of SelfLubricatingPocketCatheters.com here to tell you there is a better way with my self-lubricating pocket catheters.
00:59:37.000As if catheters weren't enough of a pain already, who has the time to lubricate it properly?
00:59:43.000With Sheldon Silver's self-lubricating pocket catheters, your process is made easy and largely painless.
00:59:58.000Results may vary, but if you're listening to this on AM radio or cable news, chances are you're in the demographic of somebody who needs this life-changing product.
01:01:15.000We said Bernie Sanders did that to you.
01:01:17.000It might have been, you know, we did the video with Bernie Sanders, and it's pretty tough on the vocal cords, but I have no idea what happened.
01:01:22.000So if I seem a little out of sorts, if anything, I probably see more on mic.
01:01:32.000Maybe I need to inject myself with a virus every single week just so I can be more professional and on equal terms with my AM talk radio brethren.
01:04:45.000Also, if you don't have a job, if you're poor, probably not your best idea to be spending eight times the amount on coffee if you made it at home.
01:05:35.000How about when someone is going in to get a cup of coffee, you don't yell profanities in a family establishment that are based in nothing more than your own delusions.
01:07:06.000A champion, at some point, the difference between a champion, the difference between somebody who succeeds and who doesn't, is they have to look themselves in the mirror at some point honestly and say, okay, did I do something wrong?
01:13:56.000You've talked a lot about sort of political correctness, this rise of the social justice left.
01:14:02.000Now, obviously, I haven't read all of it, but what is it that has captured your attention with this so much as someone from my show?
01:14:08.000So just to kind of a slight correction, I mean, my main area of research is in applying biology and evolutionary psychology to study human behavior.
01:14:16.000The way I got into the whole political correctness issue is not so much, if you like, through my research, but rather as a public intellectual, one of the self-imposed mandates that I sort of pursue is I tackle bad ideas wherever I find them, right?
01:14:32.000So if I think, for example, radical feminists espouse some stupidity, Then I feel compelled to tackle it.
01:14:38.000If I think that postmodernism is a bunch of gibberish nonsense, then I will tackle it.
01:14:42.000So in a sense, I like to consider myself as a slayer of bad ideas.
01:14:46.000And so I use science, I use reason, I use logic to tackle all bad ideas.
01:14:51.000Please let the record show that it was Mr.
01:14:53.000Sad who said that he would tackle feminists, not myself.
01:15:31.000And kids went up and just talked about how offended they were.
01:15:33.000They were booing and protesting jokes.
01:15:36.000And I remember thinking, this was really, really weird for comedy.
01:15:40.000But that was the environment in Montreal.
01:15:42.000And we just had Mike Ward on, who was put before Human Rights Tribunal.
01:15:45.000So, do you think you've taken up this mantle, I guess, particularly as you said, of a public intellectual?
01:15:50.000Let's put the research to one side, because you're in an area where there just aren't many people expressing these ideas.
01:15:57.000It's not even on the radar for a lot of French Canadians, or English Canadians.
01:16:01.000Although I would say that what you just described is not, strictly speaking, true of Quebec in particular.
01:16:08.000Rather, it's of academia in general, right?
01:16:10.000It's not as though at Wellesley College, outside of Boston, you're going to have, you know, bastions of freedom of speech walking around on campus.
01:16:17.000So I really think it's a problem that is endemic to the academic atmosphere that is I think that's fair, but I think it's different in Montreal, again, because, you know, my brother went to UT in Austin, for example.
01:16:31.000So, you know, he did the Fulcesia situation scholarship at UT Austin Film School.
01:16:34.000So not a bastion of right-wing conservatism.
01:16:37.000And the leftism, I guess, for lack of a better word, in Montreal was that of ignorance because they hadn't even been exposed to ideas.
01:16:44.000Whereas in Austin, it was very aggressive because they were fighting back against sort of Texas culture.
01:16:50.000So I would say people just seem far less informed in Montreal as it relates to freedom of speech and these ideas.
01:17:37.000It's funny because Gavin McInnes recently, him and I had a chat, and we had a chat earlier also last fall, and he's just astonished that I don't get more backlash.
01:17:47.000His theory is that I just look as though I'm very nice, as if I'm a cross between a puppy and Santa Claus, which I don't really like that particular analogy because it kind of emasculates me.
01:17:58.000I'd like to think that I've got a lot more testosterone in me than a But apparently something in my delivery, maybe because I'm measured, maybe because I don't engage in hyperbole, people don't actually attack me too often.
01:18:13.000I do get hate mail, but not too often.
01:18:15.000Do you engage in some hyperbole on Twitter?
01:18:23.000There's nothing wrong with it if it's done in addendum to a reasonable argument.
01:18:27.000Like, ad hominem in place of an argument, yeah, you throw it away.
01:18:30.000But ad hominem in addendum, it can be fantastic.
01:18:33.000And usually, I mean, I think what you're probably referring to is sort of my satirical style, where I try to demonstrate the lunacy of something by actually satirizing it to death.
01:18:43.000So, for example, I've gone after Bill Nye, not so much because I want to go after Bill Nye, the person, but because he espoused the position that I thought was so obnoxious and grotesque that I just can't let it sleep.
01:18:56.000And then people would write back to me and say, okay, well, I mean, the horse is dead.
01:19:00.000I say, no, when you have this kind of public platform and you try to argue that the crisis in Syria and all over the Middle East is in part driven by climate change, I'm going to come after you.
01:19:38.000Because the baseline, your trail of breadcrumbs back out of the forest, is the First Amendment.
01:19:43.000You have to somehow refute that or argue against something that's inherently flawed in the First Amendment to uphold that view in the United States.
01:19:50.000In Montreal, they've not really needed to create those terms, or in Quebec, where I was raised, because...
01:19:55.000Freedom of speech isn't an inherent right.
01:20:09.000I'd also say that there isn't the same sense of entitlement in university campuses in Canada as there is in the U.S., perhaps in part because you don't, I mean, the tuitions are not nearly the same.
01:20:21.000And so I've noticed I've taught at Cornell and at Dartmouth and at UC Irvine.
01:20:25.000And while, of course, I respect all those schools and I love the students there, they tend to have slightly more of a chip on their shoulders, probably because they pay five, ten times more for their education.
01:20:35.000And so, therefore, it's easier to have a victimhood sort of ethos when you feel that entitled.
01:20:42.000Whereas when in Quebec, almost everything is semi-free, maybe you don't have quite the same chip on your shoulder, right?
01:20:47.000Well, until you try and raise tuition by, what, $200 like we had now.
01:20:51.000Then you have protesting in the streets alongside sinkholes.
01:22:06.000And Americans hear that and they get jealous, but when you look at the numbers, the crushing debt, and it's just hard to upkeep these programs with McGill.
01:22:54.000This is Jeff Federline of GoldWire.com to tell you about this unique,
01:23:14.000Not only can you purchase solid blocks of gold from goldwire.com, which is the perfect hedge against an inflating dollar, but now, for a limited time only, I am selling my personal gold watches, gold chalices, gold rings, bracelets, and even my gold tooth.
01:23:33.000I have so much gold, I don't know what to do with it, and I want to see everybody else do as well in this horrible economy as I have with gold.
01:23:42.000Gold has been so good to me that I can 100% recommend, without any legal liability whatsoever, that it is the only investment you need in your portfolio.
01:23:52.000That is goldwire.com to purchase my personal gold items, including my gold tooth.
01:23:57.000When the s*** goes down, you'll be glad you have my gold.
01:24:04.000When it's on a party, we will party hard.
01:24:40.000Professor, scholar, thank you for being back with us.
01:24:43.000So what would you say is the most important issue that you touch upon?
01:24:46.000Sort of, I guess, binding your research in psychology with where you found a niche, obviously, in social media and being a public intellectual.
01:24:54.000So you're talking about in terms of my scientific research?
01:25:10.000Much of the social sciences have existed in a world where biology is relevant for the mosquito and the zebra and the giraffe, but somehow it is not relevant to human behavior because the argument has been that what makes us human is that we transcend our biology.
01:25:26.000That's what makes us different from the zebra.
01:25:28.000And there are all sorts of interesting reasons why that arose.
01:25:32.000I mean, why the abdication of biology happened.
01:25:34.000And so what I wanted to do was really use the explanatory framework of evolutionary psychology to explain specifically consumer behavior.
01:25:43.000The idea being that you can't fully understand consumption or our consumatory nature without understanding the biological foundations of what makes us consume.
01:25:51.000So really, much of my research revolves around that central grand objective.
01:25:57.000Now, how does that work now with the trans-everything movement?
01:26:00.000I mean, the most sexist transphobic people in the world must be biological researchers or doctors.
01:26:05.000It's the first question you have to fill out in the questionnaire.
01:26:09.000Well, I mean, I don't specifically study those trans issues, although I do have a doctoral student that's currently with me.
01:26:16.000We're interested in looking at homosexual consumers to see whether certain phenomena that we study in a heterosexual context, for example, gift-giving courtship rituals that happen between men and women, Would they replicate amongst a homosexual context?
01:26:36.000For example, if you are a top or a bottom, which is a sex role that you take, you're predominantly either the passive or the...
01:26:43.000This is a family-friendly show, and I also resent that premise.
01:26:46.000I know for a fact from several guests on this show that they can be interchangeable, sir.
01:27:20.000Of course, if you question it, you're anti-science.
01:27:23.000I would think that, as opposed to climate science, DNA would, one could argue, is more settled.
01:27:29.000I certainly have heard people made that case, and I was convinced.
01:27:32.000So I wonder what that's like teaching in that realm today, if people have to tiptoe around it, depending on whether a student gets offended or not.
01:27:39.000Because you have states now that ban sending people to counseling who want to mutilate their genitals because it's considered hate thought, hate speech.
01:27:49.000I mean, the context in which I see these types of issues, not the trans issue, but sort of sex differences, is in the context of whether there are any sex differences that are actually innate other than genitalia, or whether everything is due to a social construction.
01:28:05.000Now, of course, truly radical social constructivists argue that everything short of your genitalia is ultimately due to some cascade of socialization.
01:28:16.000And of course, The average three-year-old would be able to falsify that premise.
01:28:20.000But the reality is that within the social sciences… Just with push-ups.
01:28:25.000But you know what the social construction argument would be for that?
01:28:28.000From a very, very young age, little Johnny is condoned, is encouraged to play rough-and-tumble styles, and that sort of… Sure, sure, sure.
01:29:06.000And sometimes we get so far off into the weeds.
01:29:08.000So I do have a question though for you on the feminism front.
01:29:11.000Obviously you've spoken out against feminism.
01:29:13.000How does someone like you, obviously, someone who's really studied the biology, how do you see a feminist who is often going against, I would assume that you argue, some of which is their nature, some is nurture, trying to act like men, outmanning the men, you know, like at the Feminist Film Festival where we go.
01:29:30.000What kind of irreparable damage does that do there, and is it entirely a daddy issue?
01:29:37.000Well, I mean, I would say, first of all, that we have to sort of decouple the different definitions of feminism.
01:29:42.000I mean, feminism as the idea that we should be equal under the law, right?
01:29:47.000Equity feminism, of course, it's easy for you and I to get behind.
01:29:50.000The problem comes from sort of radical feminists, whereby they regrettably conflate the idea that everybody should be equal under the law.
01:30:00.000therefore that must mean that we should be indistinguishable from one another, right?
01:30:03.000To argue that we are indistinguishable from one another makes it easier to fight the so-called sexist status quo.
01:30:10.000And I think that's where the problem comes in.
01:30:12.000The reality is that biologists define homo sapiens as a sexually dimorphic species.
01:30:18.000In other words, the manner in which humans are defined recognizes that we are innately different in our dimorphism.
01:30:30.000It's silly, but of course it comes from an ideological position that's very, very difficult to fight against.
01:30:36.000Yeah, it's one of those things that's difficult to disprove, right, because of the way they set it up.
01:30:41.000And I have a writer from my website, Courtney, who's brilliant, and she wrote about this, and people got really mad, where she said, you know, and she's a very strong, independent woman.
01:30:51.000She's been self-employed for a long time.
01:30:52.000She's talked about how we're trying to empower women Through putting on the same playing field with men, action stars, trying to force them into sciences, in the military, in the front lines.
01:31:02.000And she argues that you're given a lot of young women complexes with that from a psychological perspective.
01:38:11.000This is what he supports because he believes for some reason that in the United States more people are dying of starvation than, I guess, Cuba, Nicaragua, or in Stalinist Russia.
01:39:12.000With recent changes to SNAP programs, some of those receiving benefits are working to make sure they don't lose them.
01:39:18.000I'm working here as part of the SNAP program for doing 40 hours a month in exchange for keeping my food stamps.
01:39:25.000Today is Percy Fayard's first day volunteering at Feed My Sheep in Gulfport.
01:39:29.000I'm in a current state of job search and I'm trying to make sure that I can still at least afford to live.
01:39:35.000Percy says even though the work is hard, he doesn't mind putting in long hours in order to keep his benefits.
01:39:42.000Well, okay, a couple of things you note there.
01:39:44.000The big argument against welfare expansion and the benefits from Hillary and Bernie right now is that Republicans want to hurt minorities the most.
01:39:51.000If you just listened to that clip, you might have been able to hear from The Voice.
01:40:40.000Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, again, it goes to human nature.
01:40:43.000You may want to believe that eventually everyone gets the same, no one is rewarded for success, and they'll work in a utopian society because you tell them to, and they enjoy the work that you're forcing them to do.
01:40:54.000That's why socialism, that's why communism, that's why big government, when it takes over forms of commerce, has never worked long-term where it's been tried.
01:41:02.000It's a matter of time before they move toward a more free enterprise system.
01:41:06.000Another thing that people don't want to talk about, and this is why the left has destroyed entire sectors of the community.
01:42:06.000It's more demeaning to tell someone, I'm going to give it to you because I know you can't take care of yourself, than asking them to work for it.
01:42:50.000I'm okay with being divisive if I'm dividing myself from the right person.
01:42:59.000So in this case, if we want to talk about coming together, I can't think of another area where everyone should be coming together other than, right here, let's talk about welfare.
01:43:07.000Okay, listen, we have welfare in this country.
01:43:34.000Can one person give me an argument as to why asking people who show up for welfare to work could be anything other than a good thing, as we see here in Mississippi with successful results?
01:43:54.000They don't have to be in welfare forever.
01:43:56.000I hate to attribute a motive, but I can't see any other path to it when Democrats say, when you say, well, okay, let's have welfare, but let's try and scale it back.
01:44:17.000Again, I'm okay with being politically divided on some issues.
01:44:20.000But if we're going to talk about common ground, before we get to abortion, before we get to 90% tax on people making over $250,000 a year, how about, ah, you just work for your dollar?
01:49:58.000It seems to be happening little by little, but I wonder if there's just some real vulgar rant that's coming that we're going to hear about, even as people go, okay, that was fun for a while.
01:51:54.000Why do you think people all of a sudden act as though this is foul play, delegates shouldn't exist, it should only be the popular vote, and if they don't, you deserve to knock down their hotel room door at convention?
01:52:43.000And you've had friends, you know, people who know you're a Christian man, and you're talking about people at church who were kind of on the Trump train, and you had some conversations with them, and they hadn't even thought of these things.
01:55:35.000There's only so much silver to go around because of those damn Mayans and Aztecs.
01:55:40.000There are a lot of hucksters out there, but you can trust me, Jeff Federline of goldwire.com slash silver, and I can say with 100% certainty and no worry of legal liability whatsoever that when the s*** goes down, you will be glad you have purchased and only purchased my silver.
01:56:08.000And now for episode 645 of the Game of Thrones fandom podcast.
01:56:14.000Okay, it's important that you stay on topic.
01:56:17.000Did you see the episode last week of Game of Thrones?
01:57:43.000I want to get the last name right because I don't want to be racist.
01:57:46.000Yusra Kogali, who's one of the Black Lives Matter founders from Toronto...
01:57:53.000Tweeted out that she wanted the strength from Allah, please give me strength to not cuss, kill these white men and white folks out here today.
01:58:18.000This is extremely frustrating and emotional for me because we slept outside for two weeks to get somebody to care about death in our community.
01:58:26.000And this is what you've decided to focus on.
02:01:18.000Maybe that's the problem with the jumping-off point.
02:01:21.000If you're Islamic and Muhammad is kind of your standby example, maybe committing mass genocide against the whites, you're like, well, you wanted to do it with the Jews.
02:01:40.000This is not a place that has the same kind of history or problems that the United States would have, where you would talk about the police force.
02:01:50.000And it also, of course, doesn't have the same kind of a color palette.
02:01:52.000They don't have the amount of black people in Toronto as you do in the United States.
02:01:56.000Very few places do have the diversity that you have in the United States, despite the fact that we're accused of being racist by these overwhelmingly white European nations.
02:02:29.000As a matter of fact, white Southerners use a lot of the same lingo, use a lot of the same slang.
02:02:34.000If you actually listen to white people from the South, they speak much more similarly to actually even black people from Detroit than white people from Detroit.
02:04:00.000Again, the reason that's the case in the United States, a lot of it is statistical.
02:04:03.000If you're a cop and you're gambling with your life every day in a very dangerous area, like right now, record shootings in Chicago, vast majority of them are committed by black gang members.
02:04:12.000Doesn't mean that all black people are gang members.
02:06:04.000It's a giant movement that consists of people who almost act entirely in unison like that shrill broad at the Starbucks yelling at Rick Scott.
02:06:14.000Her times a bunch of people giving money to Sean King.
02:07:39.000This woman's head hits that pillow every night.
02:07:42.000Tonight, it's going to hit that pillow.
02:07:44.000And she's not, again, she's not going to look at herself in the mirror and say, you know what?
02:07:49.000If I need to pray to the Zoroastrian pagan moon god, who then they rebranded it as Islam with a serial rapist pedophile, Muhammad as their holiest prophet, terrorism be upon him.
02:08:00.000You know, if I pray to that god for the strength to not kill all white people, is the problem me?
02:08:10.000Is there a possibility that maybe there's something wrong with me?
02:08:13.000What you don't realize is everyone is just racist.
02:11:23.000Well, interesting thing about chickens, I come from a long line of farmers right here in the United States when my parents moved from Cuba.
02:11:33.000And they, too, took care of some chickens.
02:11:37.000Very difficult animals to manage, the chicken, but one can learn a lot when working with them.
02:11:44.000Also, if you speak out against chickens, I've learned the hard way that you don't make a lot of friends.
02:11:50.000Now, the defining factor in chickens, you see, is that unlike humans, chicken can lay eggs.
02:11:58.000And that brings us to the quandary of what came first, the chicken or the egg.
02:12:05.000And you know, I've had a long theory about that.
02:12:14.000But one from which I've taken an invaluable life lesson.
02:12:18.000That when dealing with eggs, like the human spirit, they can be incredibly fragile, and need to be nurtured, and taken care of, and sometimes given a warm blanket.
02:12:32.000Now, if you let me come back to the point I believe that the reason this particular chicken crossed the road is not because this chicken was a bad chicken.
02:12:45.000I don't even think it's because he didn't want to work.
02:12:49.000I think this chicken, on his side of the road, saw a lack of opportunity.
02:14:34.000But he did mention that he actually sees some more dogmatic, I guess sort of unilateral, close-minded, sometimes with intellectuals at academia than you see elsewhere.
02:14:43.000And I'm glad that he actually admitted that, being an academic himself.
02:14:58.000Ryan Costello says on the democratic socialism, Crowder, I don't generally agree with your worldview as it pertains to the role of government, but you do challenge my beliefs, which I appreciate.
02:15:07.000Does the decentralization of government authority always lead to a greater degree of prosperity for the greater number of people?
02:15:12.000Or in your estimation, is it imaginable that deregulation will open the door for oligarchical powers to enact unethical practices on a populace in the pursuit of profit?
02:15:21.000So isn't the theoretical discussion more about where the line should be drawn and not if one should be drawn at all?
02:15:58.000And this is something too, it's great to be able to seem articulate, but if you can't make a basic point and laser in on it, and if your argument is still really crappy, it doesn't matter how you try and present it.
02:16:11.000Talking about oligarchical powers, deregulation, these are buzzwords, right?
02:16:15.000Establishment, deregulation, oligarchy, pursuit of profit.
02:16:19.000If you're going to be considered about oligarchy, Effectively meaning a ruling class, right?
02:16:24.000I'm not going to be as concerned about the cafe owner down the street, which again, small businesses make up the vast majority of corporations when you're discussing evil corporate overlords, as I am career politicians who can achieve public office like Bernie Sanders and then go 35 years without having to provide goods or services or some kind of serviceable employment for someone else.
02:16:45.000I am much more concerned for going to talk about oligarchical powers And deregulation with the people who manipulate the regulation and aren't beholden to any market forces whatsoever.
02:17:06.000How about more executive orders than any president in the history of ever, Barack Obama?
02:17:10.000I'm much more concerned about that kind of an oligarchy than Walmart getting me a $199 price discount on deodorant.
02:17:21.000It's just this, you know, people in their attempt to sound very intelligent sometimes, and I'm sure this guy is smart, they want to show everyone their ability to be intellectual as opposed to actually critical, thinking critically.
02:18:30.000We could take out one of the leaders here of ISIS, but there could be some civilian casualties.
02:18:35.000Well, I think we need to analyze the situation and determine, really, what are the geopolitical ramifications regarding the oligarchical powers in the regions, of course.
02:18:47.000Well, it's interesting that you mention these seconds, because time actually is relative, if you look at the theory of relativity, and you understand if you're traveling, someone needs to make a decision.
02:19:54.000But it doesn't have to be You're one trade that you master.
02:20:00.000And pseudo-intellectualism, and you see this in college a lot, you have people, they're so far down the trail, it's gender binary, they want to have these discussions, whereas it's a very basic answer, penis or not, right?
