On this week's episode, the Hodge Brothers discuss the new movie "Titanic" and whether or not it should be parodied in the movie. They also discuss the recent allegations of rape in the Bill Cosby case.
00:05:57.000The Burning Man has turned into, well, the Lesser Man, the Drowning Man, and we're going to be talking about Elon Musk.
00:06:04.000Is he the savior that some people on the right have propped him up to be?
00:06:08.000Or, you know, is there some good and some bad?
00:06:10.000You know, duality, as they call it in screenwriting, or, you know, people who take humanities for the first semester in college.
00:06:16.000We'll get into kind of the pros and cons, and something that I really want to talk about today Uh, hopefully this is a reference piece so you can use it.
00:06:22.000The references are available at ladduscreditor.com.
00:06:24.000Suicide in this country is, we often talk about mental health, we often talk about needing to help people and not stigmatizing people who need help, but suicide is almost exclusively A white male problem.
00:06:38.000You know, not including, I mean, the transgender statistic notwithstanding, but that's less than 1% of the population.
00:06:44.000But compared to white women, compared to women in general, compared to black men, compared to black people, brown people, Asian, white men commit suicide at an unbelievable rate.
00:06:53.000If we want to solve the suicide problem, we need to start acknowledging why white males, specifically white middle-aged males, are committing suicide in record numbers.
00:10:13.000If you have a gun that's a non-issue, firearm, that's why I'm a pro-Second Amendment, because I don't believe that men like that should be wasting oxygen.
00:10:20.000I would prefer that he assume room temperature.
00:10:22.000The guy stabbed his Swedish ex-girlfriend's male friend then at that point with a large kitchen knife.
00:10:28.000Yeah, and by the way... He was going for the kill.
00:11:19.000Hey, if you're not willing to fight for the woman who's there in that apartment, or maybe she had escaped at that point, if you're not willing to, to, to kill to protect your own life, just, and by the way, at this point, you know, you don't need to kill him.
00:11:30.000You just push the ladder over and the death is incidental.
00:14:56.000Look, look, if you like burning, I get it.
00:14:58.000If people want to go and have fun, I don't care, okay?
00:15:00.000But this year's Burning Man Festival kind of ended on a sour, wet note after these torrential rain pours swept its Black Rock, I think Black Rock City, the desert in Nevada, and it's almost like God's flood washing away the modern equivalent of filthy hippies, but there's a little more to it.
00:16:13.000And the exodus from the desert began yesterday, where everyone is now leaving the desert, which sucks, because they missed the grand finale.
00:20:51.000The ADL spokesperson, Jonathan Greenblatt, he was sort of, I guess you should say, browbeating Twitter, calling them out for allowing the spread of, quote, hate on his platform.
00:22:36.000But you would sit down, set a time, and pay attention.
00:22:38.000Now people are watching television while they're on their phones scrolling for something more interesting, and it's never as interesting as you hope that it will be, and so you need a new app, because Facebook wasn't enough.
00:22:47.000You need Twitter, and then you need Instagram, and then you need TikTok, and then you need Snapchat.
00:22:50.000We literally whittled it down where people are like, nah, YouTube won't work, and Twitter.
00:23:48.000So when people say, oh, you're free to say whatever you want, it's not a violation of the First Amendment if the government isn't doing it.
00:23:53.000Well, first off, that brings us to Section 230, and these companies receive massive tax breaks and outright subsidies from the government.
00:23:59.000But even worse than that is when you have cancel culture is not just about Someone saying something and people being offended.
00:24:05.000It's about people in power like the ADL, or like the companies that advertise on YouTube and Google, by the way, largely ABC Disney.
00:24:13.000Sorry, ABC Disney, NBC Universal, I get them always confused, there's Comcast, Time Warner, so they get to dictate what is permissible and what is not.
00:24:21.000When people get together and declare what you say offensive, so they get to shut off the advertising revenue, even though the audience doesn't find it offensive, That's when you have effectively what is a big tech oligarchy in bed with the government.
00:24:55.000But because of the advertisers and ESG and BlackRock and Vanguard, it's not market forces when it's beholden to international governing bodies.
00:25:04.000Yeah, and that's one of the things that Elon got right early on.
00:25:06.000He said we have to go away from this advertiser-centric model, because if you do stay with that model, you're always going to be beholden to advertisers.
00:25:13.000And so the government's a big enough problem by itself, probably the biggest problem.
00:25:17.000Right there, though, is advertisers getting together and basically saying, hey, we're just going to remove money.
00:25:58.000I'm just saying, if you allow liberal companies, leftist companies, international conglomerates, you allow them to advertise and you don't allow the right-leaning mom and pop, well then all of a sudden you can say, there's no revenue!
00:26:31.000I don't know, it doesn't sound like Elon.
00:26:36.000If this continues, we will have no choice but to file a defamation suit, ironically, against the Anti-Defamation League.
00:26:46.000And if they lose the defamation suit, we will insist that they drop the anti part of their name, since obviously, well, I don't think it's obvious, but... That's enough, you don't have to do any more.
00:27:32.000So Elon even agreed with Libs of TikTok that releasing communications between X, Twitter, and the ADL would be in the public interest at this point.
00:28:49.000They describe racism as the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, and that people's social and moral traits are predetermined by inborn biological characteristics.
00:30:04.000So, this was the definition, again, pre-July 2020.
00:30:07.000The belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another and that people's social and moral traits are predetermined by inborn biological characteristics.
00:30:14.000Now, after George Floyd, they switched the definition of racism, the ADL, to The marginalization and or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.
00:30:31.000It's funny too that they said that, that a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people, after we had a black president.
00:30:38.000Like, it would have made more sense if they changed it the other way after Barack Obama.
00:30:43.000Yeah, race is a social construct, won't they just abolish race?
00:31:13.000By the way, smash the rumble button here while you're watching because it, uh... I don't really know if we need people to smash the rumble button.
00:31:18.000It's a like button on rumble now, right?
00:31:53.000So everyone has good and bad, but I've said this before, like when Kanye came out with his gospel album, I said, look, I'm really glad that he seems to be, but don't give him more of a platform than he's able to handle.
00:32:02.000And I think that Elon is a little bit, yeah, he kinda went a little too... Yo, next Alex Jones Show, he took too far.
00:32:35.000They were treating Kanye West the way that we all treat Alex Jones on our shows.
00:32:40.000Elon, his ex, also announced at this exact same time, good that they're fighting back on the ADL, But they're also going to be collecting users' biometric data.
00:33:55.000Iris scans, they'll also collect things like education history, work history, because, and here's the problem, right?
00:34:01.000Let's say that Elon Musk, and this is my issue here, is I think that he wants to do the right thing, right?
00:34:06.000I think he's a little bit immature, somewhat in his political beliefs, in his persuasions, but I think that he's developing nicely and I do think that he champions freedom.
00:34:13.000I do think he genuinely cares about free speech, so I generally like him.
00:34:19.000this could very easily and most likely will change hands at some point. He's probably
00:34:23.000not going to be the primary owner of Twitter in the future.
00:34:28.000And now they've collected your fingerprints, they've collected your iris data, they've
00:34:31.000collected your education history, your work history, and someone else comes in, let's say
00:34:34.000like a Jack Dorsey, I mean we've seen stranger things, right? Dave Portnoy sold his company
00:34:39.000Barstool for I think $500 million, got it back for a dollar.
00:36:10.000I mean, how is it not possible for him to see that?
00:36:12.000Because you know he knows about the issues that they've faced in China with WeChat and being able to bar people from travel and being able to make sure they can't get loans or bank accounts or have to distance from friends because they have bad ideas and that's going to lower your credit score socially.
00:36:25.000How does he not know all of that exists and say, hey, we want all of the good things of WeChat and none of the bad, so we're not going to collect all that data.
00:37:32.000Well, we'll start with the Democrats if we do that.
00:37:47.000And here's the thing though, when people talk about, you know, with right now, there's some very Asian neighborhoods around here, like entirely Chinese neighborhoods, entirely Indian neighborhoods.
00:37:55.000I see people all the time right now driving with face shields, Asian Americans, face shields in their own car.
00:38:01.000This is something that needs to happen.
00:38:10.000They come from a country, meaning places like China, and by the way, even places like South Korea, where control from the government is fine.
00:38:18.000Subservience to the government is a part of how it works.
00:38:23.000That needs to take place if you're going to come to this country.
00:38:25.000There needs to be some portion that's taught, not only with your oath, not only with civics, but hey, and by the way, we don't give up our freedoms here.
00:38:32.000We do not give up our freedoms in the name of security.
00:38:35.000People who will wear a face shield alone in the car.
00:38:38.000That is not, by the way, that is not someone following the science at all.
00:38:56.000It's drilled into them from a very, very young age, for example, in places like China.
00:39:00.000And also the same thing in Japan, in a lot of ways.
00:39:03.000Just to be clear, that's why you can have no guns, and you don't have the same rates of crime, because people are terrified of their government.
00:39:11.000They control so many aspects of life because it's been given up a very long time ago.
00:39:14.000This is the only country left where that isn't the case, and if we are going to be bringing in people from other countries, they need to understand it is foundational to this country.
00:39:24.000You're driving alone with a face shield?
00:39:39.000A South Korean airline flew into the ground because they ran out of fuel and they didn't challenge the air traffic controller, I believe it was at one of the New York airports.
00:39:48.000I can't remember if it was LaGuardia or the other one, JFK.
00:39:50.000Literally, they're like, hey, did you tell them we're running out of fuel?
00:39:52.000And he's like, yeah, I told them we were running out of fuel.
00:39:53.000He's like, well, okay, I guess we're just going to crash and die.
00:39:58.000That's the kind of cultural mindset, and you have to have the mindset of, if we don't protect our freedoms, they will eventually be taken by someone.
00:40:05.000Whether that's the government or corporate or somebody else, it will be taken eventually by your neighbor.
00:40:11.000You have to protect your freedom and question authority.
00:40:18.000Some pilot or whatever, I don't know, a tarmac technician from Jersey, it's spirited, like, HEY YOU DUMB F- YOU FORGOT TO PUT GAS IN IT!
00:40:27.000Hey, we're about to run, he's literally said, he goes, they were talking about it and the end result was, it was like the guy, the Jersey guy, the air traffic controller was too brusque with them.
00:41:34.000By the way, before we get into this next segment, we actually have a clip on how you're supposed to deal with a migrant who climbs a ladder.
00:42:40.000I'm sorry, when people say, you have a gun culture in the United States.
00:42:42.000Well, I prefer that To that culture, because you know what?
00:42:45.000At least a gun culture, and by the way, the murders, the homicides, when you take away the gun deaths, you take away the suicides, which we'll get into, when you take away the inter-gang related crime, your chances of being killed as a victim of gun violence, a homicide, are so tiny.
00:44:15.000And this brings us, while we're talking about violence, this is something that we've talked about this quite a bit.
00:44:19.000We've talked about it on the show and kind of touched on this, but we haven't really done one segment that is all-inclusive.
00:44:26.000And I think this is something that's pretty important because, like I talked about earlier in the show, we often discuss the idea of people getting help.
00:44:33.000Of not stigmatizing mental health issues.
00:44:36.000Of dealing with suicide in this problem.
00:44:38.000Suicide, sorry, the suicide problem in this country.
00:44:40.000Of dealing with isolation, especially after COVID.
00:44:44.000But then we also have the media browbeating the people, namely white men, who make up that statistic.
00:44:58.000workplace, workplace, Mike Tyson. 92% of all workplace deaths are men. Okay?
00:45:03.000That's men of all different races. You know that. So when people talk about male
00:45:07.000privilege, all right, sweetheart, go work in a foundry. Now, when it comes to
00:45:12.000suicide in the United States, middle-aged white men are far and away the largest
00:45:20.000If you're going to solve the problem of suicide in this country, if you are serious about tackling it, you need to tackle the issue of white men.
00:45:30.000And they're totally ignored, and I tell you what, we exacerbate the problem in this country.
00:45:34.000All the feminists right now who get mad or say, oh, poor you as a white man.
00:46:48.000So those facts exist, all the references are available at ladderwithcreditor.com.
00:46:51.000Now let's say why, and is there something that we can do about this?
00:46:54.000And this is the problem, right, when people, the patronizing, right, the sarcasm that takes place, the, oh, poor baby, you've had it hard A straight white man?
00:47:05.000And then insert whatever oppression that day that you got passed over for a promotion or that you have to choose between being a stay-at-home mom versus a career.
00:47:15.000Well, it must be nice to have a choice.
00:49:22.000Usually that means there's a fat broad with a hip hop video, or it means that there's some girl who slept with half the Oakland Raiders and doesn't want to be slut shamed.
00:49:38.000I knew that white men would be less likely to seek therapy than, let's say, white women, but whites in general are less likely to speak to health professionals about mental illness compared with black Americans or Latinos, and white men are far less likely to seek any kind of mental health assistance when compared to women.
00:49:56.000And I can imagine why, because it's, oh, yeah, you have such a hard time, Mr. Patriarchy?
00:50:01.000Again, look at the people who go into psychology, right?
00:50:54.000And then there's staggeringly few resources available that cater to white men.
00:50:59.000Now look, we're not laying the victim card on ourselves here.
00:51:02.000What we're saying is if you're really looking to fix this problem, you've got to focus on the group that accounts for almost 70% of the problem.
00:51:52.000I mean... The good news is, though, one of the resources is a strong support network of friends is very important and can help a tremendous amount.
00:52:30.000If you think that this is an issue that needs to be discussed more, hit the like button and comment below if you've been affected by suicide.
00:52:37.000Because a lot of the hotlines that exist actually don't actually exist to help support white
00:52:42.000males and we'll get to that in a second.
00:52:43.000And I hate pulling identity politics here, but the reason that it matters is because
00:53:10.000Not having a strong circle of friends.
00:53:12.000Well, for the same reason that men make up 92% of workplace deaths, a huge part of men's social circle and their friends are their work colleagues.
00:55:40.000Well, you know, there are plenty of successful fat men.
00:55:42.000I go, right, but who's equivalent to a Tess Holliday, or like a Lizzo, or what's happened with Swimsuit Sports Illustrated, I guess, the swimsuit edition?
00:55:49.000She said, well, think about people like, you know, you have Chris Farley, you could have Jonah Hill, you could have John Candy.
00:56:08.000Women are praised no matter what they do, and men are often shamed no matter what they do, particularly white males.
00:56:16.000This is a fact, and even if you don't agree with all the other facts being presented here, all references are available, there is no getting around the suicide statistic.
00:56:24.000Body positivity, this quote, is for women, not lazy white guys with dad bods.
00:56:28.000This person specifically wrote white guys and never really hear about black guys having dad bod because they have
00:56:33.000access to weights in the prison yard I just don't understand why it's like don't hit the hey.
00:56:56.000Hey this guy's in here for murder He gets out in 15.
00:58:43.000Guarantee you he has to live with this shit for the rest of his life.
00:58:46.000And men out there who don't have the resources, and who aren't appointed to the Supreme Court, they just lose their name, and their circle, and their friends.
00:58:54.000And they think that a shotgun in their mouth is a way out.
00:58:56.000And statistically, it's a problem that we're not dealing with, because the feminists out there, and the victim complex, the professional victims, Want you to ignore it.
00:59:09.000And Brett Kavanaugh's kids, by the way, they're going to deal with the fact that their dad had his name drugged through the mud.
00:59:15.000Now, I don't know what ages they are, but if they're in school still, you know it's going to get brought up all the time.
00:59:20.000And it doesn't even matter if they're in the workplace, it's going to get brought up.
00:59:23.000It's never going to be the same again.
00:59:25.000And men desire above almost all else, I think you can probably look at the polls and see this, like respect is one of the top things that men want.
00:59:51.000If you're a woman and your BMI, we have to put you on the Free Willy scale, hey, you're beautiful.
00:59:58.000If a man gets a couple of love handles because he's been laid off and he's been having to eat at Taco Bell for a bit, oh, you're a lazy white guy with dad bod.
01:00:07.000And this is the brow-beating that takes place.
01:00:10.000Again, it's not that they're just ignoring, right?
01:00:11.000There are no resources on the government hotline for white men.
01:00:33.000The men's rights community, you know it was most black men.
01:00:37.000Oh, it's a huge component for black men who talk about women, you know, who didn't want to marry them, who want child support, who use it, uh, not for the children.
01:01:21.000All right, let's go to as mainstream as you can possibly get, where every single time, and I'm speaking in extremes here, but most times, let's call it 90%, the white guy shows up in the commercial, he's the idiot who can't install blinds, or worse.
01:01:36.000Use it to make a white wine spritzer, perfect for hanging out with 2 Chainz.
01:02:42.000Because it's the one group that's, the white man can be the butt of the joke no matter what it is.
01:02:46.000And Nick DiPaolo, I don't know if we have the right clip here, but he did a, this is maybe, he started doing this 12, 15 years ago.
01:02:51.000This is why I say you can watch him on Mug Club, 5 p.m.
01:02:53.000Eastern, it is a strong R. This guy is the OG, there's a reason that everyone on the internet, in comedy will tell you, yeah, he's probably the best working stand-up comic today.
01:03:03.000People will tell you that, or at least top five.
01:03:05.000He talked about these kinds of ads 15 years ago.
01:03:30.000Oh, we didn't include the rest of it, it gets pretty, it gets hilarious.
01:03:32.000Probably because we're not a strong R. Yeah, we're not.
01:03:35.000No, but he had a bit 15 years ago, I remember where he said, he was talking about AOL Online, he goes, you know, there's this commercial for AOL Online, it says, it's so easy, even my dad can use it.
01:03:45.000You mean the guy who bought the computer, you selfish little bitch?
01:03:49.000Every time we show up, and I get it, look, you may say, oh, who cares about a commercial?
01:04:29.000If the roles were reversed, and black men was committing suicide, and you could go back to these commercials, oh, you best believe they said it's racist.
01:04:37.000If black men were committing suicide at nine times the rate of whites, because that's what's happening.
01:05:10.000There's actually a Twitter profile, Stupid White Ads, that exists, and the guy compiles dumb white guy ads.
01:05:16.000I guess he has over 80 just since June of this year alone, so you can go and check it out.
01:05:21.000And it's just fashionable in general, and I'm not saying that this is the primary reason, but it's fashionable in general just to take a crap on men, including, you know, men of all races.
01:05:31.000Because even if you watch, I remember I was watching Parks and Rec, and someone said, oh, men's rights, and Amy Poehler said, That's not a thing.
01:06:09.000And there's even this new gem that redoing Fight Club, which is not, I mean, hey, first rule of all female Fight Club is bitch, bitch, bitch.
01:06:20.000A second rule is... there is no second rule.
01:06:24.000It's just... This brings us to another key fact here, number five.
01:06:31.000And I'm hoping that, you know, we make all the references available and there's a lot here to dive into because I want you to be able to use this in the future and I particularly hope that this helps with The demographic that commits suicide out there know that they are not alone and there are resources.
01:06:46.000So let's look at some of the policy as it relates to systemic discrimination.
01:07:29.00098% of people in this country who receive alimony are women.
01:07:33.000And this is, here's something that may shock you.
01:07:35.000All of this is based on a system, a court system that says, well the woman should get alimony, the woman should get child support because women, mothers, are inherently altruistic.
01:07:43.000Men are violent and so they shouldn't be the single parent or the custodian.
01:07:48.000Well the fact is single mothers abuse children at two times the rate of single fathers.
01:07:53.000I think it's somewhere, the estimates are anywhere from 1.3 to 2.2, let's round it, two times the rate.
01:07:59.000We'll do a whole segment on that, too.
01:08:01.000I'm not comparing joint couple households to single mothers.
01:08:06.000In a single father household, they're less likely to be abused, less likely to develop a substance disorder, less likely to go into sex work, more likely to graduate high school.
01:08:14.000But the system says, hey, you owe mom money, and mom gets the kids.
01:08:21.000And by the way, even if she is abusive, the amount of proof, the burden of proof that is required is insurmountable.
01:08:27.000Again, take, is this a situation that you've never heard of happening?
01:08:31.000Man gets fired and his wife leaves him.
01:08:34.000All of those things contribute to a massively disproportionate risk of suicide.
01:08:41.000We have policies, concepts, entirely that have been weaponized against white men, and they've been increasingly forced upon all of us.
01:08:48.000I mean, for crying out loud, white men in the United States have to deal with Larry Fink!
01:08:54.000At BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.
01:09:24.000And by the way, this applies to men in general, but I will say this, particularly white men, for the same reason that there are no grants, there are no scholarships, there are no subsidies, just based on being a white man.
01:09:56.000Combine that with the fact The suicide resource line from our government provides some kind of catered resources to every demographic except white men.
01:10:30.000No matter where you are as a white male, you can't complain because you haven't had it good for so long.
01:10:39.000And so white men suffer in silence and die.
01:10:45.000Yeah, and Larry Fink, when he made that comment, the other, I believe, CEOs on that panel that were talking right there, immediately one of them felt the need and also felt that it was socially acceptable to do it, to jump in and say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing the same thing too.
01:10:58.000And by the way, white men are just, listen, I understand that point that people are like, oh, you know, white men, you haven't had a heart.
01:11:05.000I understand why they would say that, because society tells you that white people have it very easy.
01:11:10.000They put out all of these fake statistics that we come back and kind of debunk a little bit.
01:11:14.000But I've got some personal experience with this.
01:11:17.000I've got people in my family who have been in their 50s that have lost their job, that are white men, and they have gone out and said, you know what?
01:11:23.000The only unprotected class in the United States is straight, white, middle-aged males.
01:11:28.000Now, you could probably expand it to just be outside of middle age as well and still be accurate, but when you feel like the entire system, not that they don't have your back, because I'm willing to work for it, and I believe most of those guys are willing to work for it.
01:11:39.000They're actively looking at you as the problem, though.
01:11:43.000It's not just a, you don't get the services, it's you're part of the problem just for being a straight, white, middle-aged male.
01:12:41.000So you can go from subway stop to, no, you can do your groceries, you can shop, there's a food court, movie theater, and you never actually have to, you know, pop your head up.
01:12:53.000So there's this place, the Eaton Center, and there, you know, it goes, picture it going down, almost looks like Blade Runner.
01:12:58.000I think they actually might have shot, might have filmed, someone can let me know if that's true, Blade Runner at some areas in this underground area of Montreal.
01:13:06.000And there was a man, I don't want to give details, so I'll change some identities here, but I played hockey with his kids.
01:14:23.000But that man couldn't talk to anyone about it.
01:14:27.000He lived in his own personal hell before.
01:14:29.000He decided that it was better for his family than to shame them, than to lose his reputation and tell them they would have to move into another house, and then flung himself over.
01:14:36.000That is, just so you, that, that, that seems dramatic because of how he did it.
01:14:43.000Most suicides in this country, it's middle-aged white men who've lost their circle of friends, largely because they've lost their job, and they have been left.
01:14:52.000they've been abandoned by a system that says that they should start off from the
01:14:57.000default position of being a villain. So why does the system exist this way? Why
01:15:02.000do we have not just the divorce system, not just divorce family courts, which
01:15:05.000we've talked about, not just DEI, not just affirmative action, but culturally, right?
01:15:08.000Why do all these things seem to culminate in anti the group of people
01:15:13.000who kill themselves? Well, it's one group in this country that consistently,
01:15:17.000reliably, never votes for the leftist agenda. 2020, white men voted Republican
01:15:40.000They call this alt-right at one point, once that didn't stick.
01:15:43.000We actually had, it's coming up this Friday actually, a new Black and White on the Gray issues.
01:15:47.000It was a mother and her daughter, the only group of black individuals who decided that merely talking was racist, and they said that the nuclear family, I shit you not, they said the nuclear family is a construct of white supremacist patriarchy.
01:16:03.000Well, they say that while being in a nuclear family, so F off.
01:16:08.000They were basically white suburban broads who happened to be black.
01:16:10.000Went to private school and the private school told her the nuclear family is a construct of patriarchy.
01:16:15.000But typically speaking, you look at one voting bloc who people talk about, hey, maybe there'll be some inroads made with black Americans.
01:16:20.000Hey, Latinos are voting Republican more than before.
01:16:23.000It's pretty much white males, once they get beyond the age of 35, they're going to be the consistent conservative voting bloc.
01:16:29.000The left hasn't even really tried to reach them.
01:16:31.000They try to do it with white privilege, they try to do it.
01:16:34.000But it is the last defense, is white males in this country, if you look as a voting bloc, against overarching government, in preserving the First Amendment, in preserving the Second Amendment, in believing in nuclear families, believing in strong male figures, believing in, yep, complementarianism, in relationships, And that same demographic is attacked relentlessly from all fronts, from the government, from your media, from culture at large, to the point that they commit suicide at four times the rate of women, and eight to nine times the rate of black Americans.
01:17:10.000Hey, I'm just saying at a certain point, right, statistics can be massaged, but there's kind of some finality to suicide, isn't there?
01:17:18.000I'd like you to comment here below really quickly, but Whoever you've had the unfortunate experience of maybe being touched by suicide, I think all of us have been touched by suicide or attempted suicide somewhere in our lives.
01:17:34.000Again, 92% of workplace deaths are men.
01:18:55.000Reach out to people who, by the way, will actually listen and not ask you to check your white privilege.
01:19:00.000I'm going to tell you this, if you were thinking, if you're a white male and you were actually thinking about harming yourself, Don't go to someone who's going to guilt you for simply being a white male.
01:19:06.000Get involved with maybe some men's rights groups.
01:19:08.000There are those that exist out there, single dads groups.
01:19:10.000I know the left right now will try and throttle us and say that that's white male supremacy.
01:19:13.000What I'm saying is you need to discuss this problem with people who have been through it and people who can provide you support and not tell you that you're just a lazy white guy with dad bod.
01:19:23.000Which maybe means you have, oh my god, gone through the horror of ballooning up to 13% body fat.
01:20:05.000I've had, you know this person that I mentioned too, that had an issue that is a family member of ours and felt like suicidal ideation, suicidal thoughts, had all kinds of like, well, my life is over.
01:21:08.000And look, we went long, we were able to discuss this.
01:21:15.000I will tell you this, we had Cassie J on the show, Karen Strawn, a very long, before people were talking about it, those episodes always get throttled.
