Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2029 Scott Adams： I'm Trending On Twitter. Was It Something I Said？

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:08.260 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time to be alive.

00:00:14.280 There are times to be dead, probably, probably good times to be dead, but this is the best

00:00:19.120 time to be alive, and that's what I'm dealing with, just that domain right now.

00:00:23.340 Dead people, they can watch their own entertainment.

00:00:25.680 This is not for them.

00:00:27.180 This is for the living.

00:00:28.120 And if you'd like to take this living experience up to levels that could only be reached by

00:00:35.320 a Chinese spy balloon, well, you're going to need something to make that happen.

00:00:41.080 What you're going to need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:45.880 a canteen joke or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:49.420 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:52.800 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that

00:00:58.620 makes everything better.

00:01:00.540 It's called a simultaneous sip.

00:01:04.220 Go.

00:01:04.700 Go.

00:01:09.000 Ah.

00:01:10.000 Has anybody noticed anything in the news about me lately?

00:01:20.200 Anybody notice anything like that?

00:01:23.100 I might have another sip to that.

00:01:24.960 Well, let's begin with, oh, no, my enemies are sending me lots of energy.

00:01:41.160 Oh, no.

00:01:43.020 What will I do with all of that attention?

00:01:46.060 It seems that the hate for me at the moment has reached new levels, new levels of hate.

00:02:02.540 I'm hated so much today, I'm trending.

00:02:06.180 I'm trending.

00:02:07.600 Let's drink to that.

00:02:09.180 Mmm, trending.

00:02:10.660 Trending.

00:02:10.860 Ah, that's good trending.

00:02:20.660 Well, let's talk about the news and we'll get to why I might be trending.

00:02:26.740 Yeah, I'm going to make you wait, because I know some of you bastards came in here just 0.99

00:02:30.660 to see me get in trouble.

00:02:32.280 I'm going to make you wait.

00:02:34.820 Oh, we'll talk about it.

00:02:36.680 We'll talk about it.

00:02:37.660 But for the people who are the regulars, I know you'll stick around.

00:02:43.100 But for those of you who are only coming in to hate on me, and maybe, like, get another

00:02:47.340 article to write, you bastards are going to have to wait. 0.95

00:02:51.160 You're going to have to wait through all the other excellent entertainment to get to that

00:02:55.100 part where you can attack me.

00:02:56.920 But it'll be good.

00:02:57.800 It's worth the wait.

00:02:58.780 It is.

00:02:59.160 Well, as I often like to tell you, if I were the author of this reality, which I believe

00:03:07.120 is a simulation, I would give people funny names just so they could figure out they were

00:03:13.260 in a simulation.

00:03:14.600 For example, if somebody worked as a baker, I would name them Baker.

00:03:19.860 If somebody worked as a dentist, I would name them Dr. Chu.

00:03:27.400 That's an actual dentist, by the way.

00:03:29.660 And I noticed that there's an accused murderer in the news.

00:03:33.960 And what is the accused murderer named?

00:03:39.100 Murdaugh.

00:03:39.660 M-U-R-D-A-U-G-H. 1.00

00:03:45.680 Which is weird, because he's accused of murdering his wife and son, and not his daughter.

00:03:53.560 It would have been a little bit more on the nose if he'd murdered a daughter, because then

00:03:58.460 he would be a mur-da-ter guy.

00:04:03.540 It was close.

00:04:04.320 It was close.

00:04:05.260 Very, very close.

00:04:06.940 Yeah, Bankman Freed.

00:04:09.660 Yeah, Bankman Freed.

00:04:12.020 Exactly.

00:04:13.360 If I had somebody who did something in the monetary domain that burned everybody, it

00:04:20.900 would be Bankman Freed.

00:04:23.820 Or Fraud.

00:04:24.620 Bankman Fraud.

00:04:25.320 That's pretty good, too.

00:04:27.440 All right.

00:04:28.120 I saw some fake news on Fox News, Fox News website.

00:04:34.420 This is in the category of headlines that don't match the story.

00:04:39.660 Now, this is not, of course, limited to Fox News.

00:04:42.920 Usually, I'm talking about a CNN.

00:04:45.680 But everybody gets in on this once in a while.

00:04:48.460 The headline that does not match the news.

00:04:50.720 And I always wonder, is the headline writer just the provocative one?

00:04:56.700 They sort of know what they're doing.

00:04:58.160 Or do they not have time to read the article before they post it and come up with it?

00:05:04.960 Because it looks like maybe they didn't read the article.

00:05:07.820 It's almost like what they expected it to be.

00:05:10.160 I don't know.

00:05:10.880 So I don't know what the internal processing is.

00:05:13.260 But let me give you the story.

00:05:14.600 So the headline says this.

00:05:16.600 Popular AI bot forced to admit Democrats' talking point doesn't add up.

00:05:22.260 Do you think the story supports that headline?

00:05:27.900 That it's about chat GPT?

00:05:30.600 So popular AI bot forced to admit Democrats' talking point. 0.77

00:05:34.680 Now, the topic is about climate change.

00:05:36.980 But do you think that when I read the article,

00:05:39.480 I'll find out that it admits that their talking points don't add up?

00:05:43.680 No, they totally add up, according to the story.

00:05:48.860 I don't know.

00:05:49.860 But the story goes that junk science founder, that's an organization.

00:05:54.780 I don't know.

00:05:55.460 I guess it's either an organization or it's just one guy.

00:05:59.320 I don't know what it is.

00:06:00.600 But junk science founder Steve Malloy,

00:06:03.980 so he published a lengthy exchange in which he was talking to the chat GPT

00:06:07.880 and asking it, is CO2 warming a hoax?

00:06:12.420 Now, the AI started out by saying, no, it's not a hoax.

00:06:18.140 It's a proven thing that CO2 raises the temperature.

00:06:22.860 So far, so good.

00:06:24.460 I would agree with that statement,

00:06:26.740 that from a laboratory scientific perspective,

00:06:31.160 pretty much all the scientists agree that warm,

00:06:35.200 what do they call it, the greenhouse effect is a thing.

00:06:39.440 Now, it's not the only thing.

00:06:40.800 So it doesn't mean that if the greenhouse effect is agreed upon,

00:06:46.380 that you can therefore predict good or bad that will happen in the future.

00:06:49.640 Too many other things happen.

00:06:51.580 But scientists generally agree that that's true.

00:06:54.280 So, so far, I think that's not a problem.

00:06:58.440 But then it goes on.

00:06:59.360 And Steve pushes it on the fact that the theory is that the more CO2,

00:07:05.800 this is my own summary of it.

00:07:08.660 These are not his words.

00:07:10.440 But the, since the theory is that the more CO2 you add,

00:07:14.900 the warmer it gets,

00:07:16.160 how does the AI explain that for the past five years,

00:07:20.020 it hasn't gotten warmer while a record amount of CO2 has been pumped into the atmosphere.

00:07:27.100 And the chat AI says,

00:07:34.800 well, you know, any five-year period,

00:07:36.440 again, this is my summary,

00:07:39.060 not their exact words,

00:07:41.720 but the AI explained that, you know,

00:07:43.980 a brief period does not describe climate.

00:07:48.400 And it wouldn't be that.

00:07:50.360 Apparently, it would be normal and allowed to have a five-year period

00:07:54.440 where things didn't quite go in lockstep in one direction.

00:07:59.000 So it could be zipping up and down,

00:08:00.780 but the average over time would be up,

00:08:03.160 would be the defense of that.

00:08:05.800 Now, then I guess Steve Molloy got it to,

00:08:09.180 you know, admit that more CO2 is going in the air

00:08:12.360 at the same time that the temperature is not going up.

00:08:16.100 So do you find that in conflict?

00:08:19.400 Do those things seem to conflict to you?

00:08:22.140 So it says that any five-year period doesn't mean anything.

00:08:26.260 And then when Steve says,

00:08:28.100 this five-year period is opposed to the theory,

00:08:32.060 that's covered under the fact that

00:08:34.420 the theory allows that any five-year period doesn't mean anything.

00:08:39.200 And the AI explained that.

00:08:41.700 And then Fox News said that the AI

00:08:44.320 was forced to admit Democrats' talking point doesn't add up.

00:08:49.800 No, that never happened.

00:08:51.100 That's not in the story at all.

00:08:53.200 All right.

00:08:55.220 You have to see,

00:08:56.640 this is one of those stories that,

00:08:58.280 without the audio or the video,

00:09:00.520 you just have to go see Kamala Harris

00:09:02.460 talking to some small group

00:09:05.100 about her love of Venn diagrams.

00:09:07.860 Now, there seems to be a pattern developing

00:09:12.840 that if there's a really, really big topic,

00:09:17.860 such as, let's say,

00:09:19.740 having no border security,

00:09:21.380 she's, you know, interested in doing the job 0.73

00:09:27.120 and talks about it,

00:09:29.140 seems to take her seriously.

00:09:31.660 But it's not what she loves.

00:09:34.340 You can tell from her reaction

00:09:35.760 that what she loves

00:09:36.980 is charging ports on school buses.

00:09:43.000 She loves that.

00:09:45.480 I mean, that makes her giddy.

00:09:47.240 But also Venn diagrams,

00:09:48.860 as she was describing,

00:09:49.800 while giggling and showing so much excitement

00:09:52.980 about overlapping circles

00:09:54.980 that I thought she was going to have an orgasm.

00:09:59.320 I don't know, maybe that's just me.

00:10:01.920 But she was really, really happy about it.

00:10:04.580 But if you watch the video,

00:10:06.220 there's something I want you to watch for in particular.

00:10:09.200 Watch for her host

00:10:10.500 that's sitting in the chair up on the stage next to her.

00:10:13.820 And as she goes into her Venn diagram craziness,

00:10:17.000 the host just sort of is looking at her

00:10:18.740 and just sort of scratches her nose.

00:10:22.120 And I don't know if I'm reading her body language right,

00:10:27.520 but the body language I felt was,

00:10:30.200 oh, God, this is embarrassing.

00:10:32.280 Like, it feels like that's why you scratch your nose.

00:10:35.920 You know, unless her nose itched, I suppose.

00:10:37.960 That's a possibility.

00:10:39.120 But if you're looking at somebody talking

00:10:40.800 and, like, you're really into them,

00:10:43.040 and you're really agreeing,

00:10:43.880 you're like, yeah, oh, yeah.

00:10:50.360 You'd sort of look like that.

00:10:52.280 And here's how you'd look at somebody

00:10:53.720 if you wish they would stop talking

00:10:55.340 because they're embarrassing you.

00:10:56.520 Yeah.

00:11:04.420 Look for it.

00:11:05.620 It's fun.

00:11:07.260 All right.

00:11:09.460 Erasmussen did a poll.

00:11:12.300 Has that ever gotten me in trouble before?

00:11:14.540 A Erasmussen poll?

00:11:17.960 Hmm.

00:11:19.000 But they did a poll on Ukraine

00:11:20.600 asking people, Americans,

00:11:23.400 American voters, likely voters,

00:11:25.480 who they think is winning in Ukraine.

00:11:28.460 46% say they see the war as a stalemate.

00:11:35.340 19% believe Russia is winning.

00:11:38.500 21% think Ukraine is winning.

00:11:40.440 Basically a tie.

00:11:43.000 But these numbers have changed.

00:11:47.440 Oh, actually, more people thought

00:11:49.380 Ukraine was winning in December.

00:11:51.660 So it's actually way down from December.

00:11:54.080 Interesting.

00:11:54.860 But it's also the winter.

00:11:55.920 So it's sort of a winter stalemate.

00:11:57.460 So I'm not sure that that's not telling you

00:12:00.540 what you think it is.

00:12:01.380 I think it's just telling you

00:12:02.260 it's winter at the moment.

00:12:05.340 But does that track with what you thought?

00:12:10.100 It's roughly a tie.

00:12:13.180 How many people think Russia is winning

00:12:14.940 versus Ukraine? 0.83

00:12:16.340 I think most people just think

00:12:18.480 it must be a stalemate.

00:12:21.260 Yeah.

00:12:22.620 I don't know.

00:12:23.140 It tells you something about the state of news,

00:12:25.440 doesn't it?

00:12:25.880 That you can't even tell who's winning a war?

00:12:30.220 No, it could be because nobody knows

00:12:33.240 and it's completely mysterious.

00:12:35.980 But it's a weird thing that something as big as a war,

00:12:39.500 we couldn't agree if we know who's winning.

00:12:43.680 Because remember, if you add up the people

00:12:45.460 who think Russia's winning 0.70

00:12:46.380 and the people who think Ukraine is winning,

00:12:49.380 that's a lot of people

00:12:50.300 who don't have the same opinion

00:12:52.360 on whether the war is going one way or the other.

00:12:55.940 I mean, that's the most basic question,

00:12:57.500 who's winning the war.

00:12:59.060 It's strange that we can't figure that out.

00:13:01.460 I realize there are a lot of variables

00:13:02.900 and war is unpredictable by its nature.

00:13:05.740 But I feel like by now,

00:13:07.940 we'd have a bead on it.

00:13:09.580 It's kind of weird.

00:13:11.260 But, yeah, war is unpredictable.

00:13:13.960 I saw two more videos today

00:13:19.540 that I think are so racist.

00:13:23.660 And we keep seeing these anecdotal videos

00:13:26.800 that are not representative of the whole

00:13:28.760 and are highly, let's say,

00:13:33.200 brainwashing kind of material.

00:13:36.000 Because every time you see a video of,

00:13:39.120 well, in this case,

00:13:40.220 it's a video of black women, I think,

00:13:44.060 beating up a female Asian-American on a bus.

00:13:48.720 Now, and then I saw earlier

00:13:50.680 a black student beating up

00:13:52.740 a white teacher in a school.

00:13:54.740 There was just two of them I saw today.

00:13:56.920 Now, both of them have that same flavor to them.

00:13:59.820 And it's super racist.

00:14:02.960 I think you'd agree with this.

00:14:04.700 Super racist.

00:14:06.000 That the algorithm is serving me up

00:14:08.460 only black people beating up 0.95

00:14:10.620 Asian-Americans and white Americans.

00:14:13.520 Super racist.

00:14:14.820 Because it's not based on any kind of science.

00:14:17.400 It's not based on any kind of statistics.

00:14:20.880 It's based on either the algorithm

00:14:23.980 or maybe some human who's decided

00:14:26.260 that you should get an unending diet

00:14:29.020 of black Americans beating up other people 1.00

00:14:31.480 to make you feel more racist.

00:14:33.360 Now, since obviously the number of people

00:14:37.460 getting beaten up is the same 0.54

00:14:40.500 across all domains,

00:14:43.760 there are two ways to handle this.

00:14:45.060 One way would be to ban these kinds of videos,

00:14:47.480 which I'd be in favor of.

00:14:49.260 Just ban them. 0.99

00:14:50.980 Ban them totally.

00:14:52.280 But that would be, you know,

00:14:53.320 sort of a First Amendment,

00:14:55.100 you know, kind of thing.

00:14:56.500 You could make an argument

00:14:57.460 based on safety and health and stuff.

00:15:00.880 But, you know,

00:15:02.320 probably we wouldn't like that, right?

00:15:04.960 Would you agree?

00:15:06.320 That banning them

00:15:07.420 would be just another problem.

00:15:10.180 You know, that'd be a First Amendment problem, right?

00:15:12.780 Yeah.

00:15:13.200 So we don't like banning stuff

00:15:14.920 unless it, like,

00:15:16.300 actually causes you to go cause a crime or something.

00:15:19.840 Unless it's literally dangerous.

00:15:21.120 So the other solution,

00:15:23.520 and this is the one I would recommend,

00:15:25.420 is we need to start releasing the videos,

00:15:27.560 and they must exist,

00:15:29.060 of Asian Americans beating up black people.

00:15:32.620 Now, if you only saw that,

00:15:35.000 that would also be wrong.

00:15:36.720 Super racist.

00:15:38.280 Because you'd be like,

00:15:39.260 oh, Asian Americans, 0.99

00:15:40.460 why are you always beating up black people?

00:15:41.960 If that's all you saw.

00:15:42.860 If all day long you're saying,

00:15:45.720 Asian Americans beating up black men all day long, 1.00

00:15:50.180 you'd be like,

00:15:51.360 damn, I don't even want to live

00:15:52.860 near these racist Asian Americans 0.98

00:15:56.160 if they're beating up black people all day long.

00:15:59.180 And that's what you would think.

00:16:00.780 That's what you would think.

00:16:01.760 If all you ever saw was these videos,

00:16:04.080 then you would be sort of brainwashed

00:16:06.680 into thinking that a lot of it's happening,

00:16:08.880 when in fact it's just, you know,

00:16:10.760 selective stuff.

00:16:13.800 So, since I don't think we want to ban any speech,

00:16:16.960 so we don't want to ban the ones we're seeing,

00:16:18.880 we need to balance this out.

00:16:20.660 So I need to see,

00:16:22.220 for the benefit of everyone,

00:16:24.540 and I think you'd agree,

00:16:25.460 everybody would be better off

00:16:26.560 if the algorithm would release

00:16:29.700 the videos of the Asian Americans

00:16:31.980 beating up black people. 0.99

00:16:33.640 So at least there's some balance.

00:16:35.560 Now, I'm not saying I want to see anybody get beaten up.

00:16:38.780 Let me clarify.

00:16:40.860 I'm opposed to violence.

00:16:43.180 Completely.

00:16:44.220 I don't want to see anybody getting beaten up.

00:16:46.960 But if it's free speech,

00:16:49.920 and we're going to see,

00:16:51.260 right, Dr. Funk Juice,

00:16:53.200 you agree.

00:16:54.740 Thank you for the support.

00:16:56.100 By the way,

00:16:56.620 thank you for the support all the time.

00:16:59.540 I always appreciate you,

00:17:00.800 but I don't want to say it enough.

00:17:01.580 So that would be my solution.

00:17:06.800 More videos of Asian Americans

00:17:08.800 beating up black people 1.00

00:17:10.780 so that we have some balance,

00:17:12.140 and then we don't feel like we're being brainwashed

00:17:15.020 by the algorithm.

00:17:17.600 All right.

00:17:18.180 Did anybody notice

00:17:19.820 that there was a video

00:17:21.600 that featured me

00:17:23.360 going around the Internet

00:17:25.200 yesterday and today?

00:17:27.560 Did anybody see that?

00:17:28.460 I guess the Daily Beast picked it up

00:17:30.900 and something cause picked it up

00:17:34.160 and a bunch of people.

00:17:36.280 Now, some of it

00:17:37.060 might have been out of context.

00:17:39.860 And so, some of you

00:17:42.500 might be saying to yourself,

00:17:44.460 Scott,

00:17:45.560 did you say something racist?

00:17:48.660 And I'll just...

00:17:50.980 Oh, the answer is yes.

00:17:52.760 Yes.

00:17:53.840 So let me start out with the answer.

00:17:55.500 The question is,

00:17:56.300 Scott, did you say something

00:17:57.540 super racist the other day?

00:17:59.860 Yes.

00:18:01.200 Yes.

00:18:03.120 Everybody agree?

00:18:06.600 Well, let me tell you what I said.

00:18:07.940 I don't know how you could interpret it

00:18:09.500 any other way.

00:18:11.040 All right?

00:18:11.600 So what I said was

00:18:12.780 that based on a Rasmussen poll

00:18:15.760 in which people,

00:18:19.060 black Americans were asked

00:18:20.860 the question,

00:18:22.000 is it okay to be white?

00:18:24.020 And I noted that between the...

00:18:25.860 If you added up the people

00:18:26.840 who said, you know,

00:18:28.220 no opinion,

00:18:29.200 that they were unwilling to say

00:18:32.500 it's okay to be white,

00:18:33.840 and the people who said

00:18:34.800 it wasn't okay to be white,

00:18:36.540 it was nearly half.

00:18:39.640 And so what I said was,

00:18:41.700 if there's any group

00:18:42.860 in which the data,

00:18:45.760 not your opinion,

00:18:47.240 not your personal opinion,

00:18:48.360 but the data

00:18:49.700 shows that half of them

00:18:51.600 have a bad opinion about you,

00:18:53.880 that you should avoid

00:18:54.840 that group completely.

00:18:58.140 And people said,

00:18:59.500 but Scott,

00:19:00.380 that is so racist.

00:19:01.700 Well, of course it is.

00:19:04.580 That's exactly what it is.

00:19:06.360 That's exactly the definition

00:19:07.740 of racist.

00:19:10.000 Now,

00:19:11.160 is that a problem?

00:19:15.640 What's the problem with that?

00:19:19.880 Is reparations racist?

00:19:23.060 What about reparations?

00:19:25.500 Are reparations racist?

00:19:27.920 Yes.

00:19:28.980 Yes, reparations are racist

00:19:30.640 by definition.

00:19:32.360 Are reparations bad?

00:19:35.900 Well, it depends who you ask, right?

00:19:38.060 It's an opinion.

00:19:39.240 But simply the fact

00:19:40.180 that it's completely racist

00:19:41.880 doesn't automatically

00:19:43.940 make it bad.

00:19:46.820 How about,

00:19:47.460 how about,

00:19:50.420 what do you call it,

00:19:54.240 what's,

00:19:55.140 why am I,

00:19:55.560 affirmative action.

00:19:57.200 How about affirmative action?

00:19:59.020 Is that racist?

00:19:59.720 Affirmative action.

00:20:02.900 Yeah.

00:20:03.880 It's racist by definition.

00:20:05.820 It's racist by intention.

00:20:07.840 It's overtly racist,

00:20:09.940 and it's supposed to be.

00:20:12.160 In fact,

00:20:12.640 it wouldn't work

00:20:13.360 if it were not racist.

00:20:15.460 Would it?

00:20:16.180 Now,

00:20:18.020 I've tentatively been in favor of,

00:20:20.480 I'm forgetting the word,

00:20:24.440 but I've been tentatively in favor

00:20:25.900 of affirmative action

00:20:27.580 historically.

00:20:28.520 So I've been in favor of it,

00:20:31.280 which is pretty racist.

00:20:33.020 Wouldn't you agree?

00:20:34.480 Wouldn't you agree that

00:20:35.640 for all the years

00:20:36.580 that I was in favor of

00:20:37.960 affirmative action,

00:20:39.460 because I think probably

00:20:40.500 there was a point in history

00:20:41.880 where you needed a sledgehammer

00:20:43.780 to get things,

00:20:44.680 you know,

00:20:45.020 roughly equal.

00:20:45.760 And it was very bad

00:20:47.880 for people like me,

00:20:48.780 because I lost two careers

00:20:50.820 because I wasn't black

00:20:52.660 and I wasn't a female.

00:20:53.960 My bosses told me that directly.

00:20:56.480 If you don't know those stories,

00:20:57.700 you're going to doubt

00:20:58.240 that they're true.

00:20:59.480 Trust me.

00:21:00.280 They're true.

00:21:01.540 Yeah.

00:21:01.860 I was told twice

00:21:02.900 that I couldn't be promoted

00:21:04.500 during my corporate years

00:21:05.780 because I was white

00:21:07.140 and male.

00:21:09.380 They told me that directly.

00:21:11.360 Not hinted at it,

00:21:13.200 directly,

00:21:13.660 in direct words.

00:21:17.020 Now,

00:21:18.100 during those times,

00:21:19.840 I was also in favor

00:21:21.100 of affirmative action

00:21:22.180 because it was also clear

00:21:24.800 that, you know,

00:21:26.420 something needed to be done

00:21:28.140 and I didn't have

00:21:29.140 a better idea.

00:21:30.340 So I thought,

00:21:31.060 well,

00:21:31.980 you know,

00:21:32.280 I lost two careers

00:21:33.200 but I still had

00:21:33.960 so many options

00:21:34.780 that I went off

00:21:36.200 and got rich

00:21:36.920 a different way.

00:21:38.740 So I didn't feel

00:21:39.600 like much of a victim,

00:21:41.560 even though I was targeted.

00:21:43.660 I don't really have

00:21:44.640 a victim mindset.

00:21:46.840 So I had plenty

00:21:47.700 of opportunities

00:21:48.320 so I just said,

00:21:49.080 well,

00:21:49.740 this sucks.

00:21:51.360 I'll go somewhere

00:21:52.160 where things don't suck

00:21:53.300 so much.

00:21:54.160 So I went where

00:21:55.360 you could,

00:21:56.400 you know,

00:21:56.740 succeed just with talent.

00:21:58.380 I didn't need to,

00:21:59.460 you know,

00:21:59.660 I didn't need to be

00:22:00.200 a certain color or gender.

00:22:01.200 But when I was in favor

00:22:04.500 of affirmative action,

00:22:05.700 which by the way,

00:22:06.580 I'm currently not

00:22:07.580 in favor of.

00:22:09.000 I'm currently not

00:22:09.940 in favor of

00:22:10.540 affirmative action

00:22:11.280 but only because

00:22:12.540 the gap has closed

00:22:14.100 enough,

00:22:15.060 not completely,

00:22:17.100 you know,

00:22:17.300 it's not like

00:22:18.560 we have equality,

00:22:20.040 but we've closed

00:22:21.040 the gap enough

00:22:21.720 that the best thing

00:22:23.120 you could do

00:22:23.580 for the black community

00:22:24.760 would be to get rid

00:22:26.400 of favoritism

00:22:27.100 because you want

00:22:28.880 to do that

00:22:29.320 short of actually

00:22:30.720 full equality.

00:22:32.560 Like you want

00:22:33.060 to end the favoritism

00:22:34.320 just before you get,

00:22:36.300 or not even just before,

00:22:37.960 but well before

00:22:38.880 you get to total equality

00:22:40.060 because the affirmative action

00:22:42.060 causes bad feelings

00:22:43.280 on its own,

00:22:44.660 right?

00:22:45.520 Affirmative action

00:22:46.520 by its nature

00:22:47.440 isn't a clean win

00:22:49.420 for black people.

00:22:51.320 It's a big advantage,

00:22:53.580 clearly,

00:22:54.140 but it's not a clean win

00:22:55.960 because there's a little

00:22:56.780 taint,

00:22:57.640 you know,

00:22:57.860 there's always

00:22:58.820 this suggestion

00:22:59.600 that,

00:23:01.020 well,

00:23:01.400 maybe you were,

00:23:02.360 you know,

00:23:02.660 one of those kind

00:23:03.340 of hirers.

00:23:04.540 You know,

00:23:04.660 maybe it wasn't

00:23:05.300 totally your talent,

00:23:06.640 which is completely unfair.

00:23:08.780 That's something

00:23:09.540 that white people 0.52

00:23:10.280 don't have to deal with.

00:23:11.900 It's completely unfair.

00:23:13.900 So,

00:23:14.940 what's fairest

00:23:16.040 for successful,

00:23:19.100 let's say,

00:23:20.080 black people

00:23:20.840 who want to make

00:23:21.580 something of themselves

00:23:22.460 and make a dent

00:23:23.780 in the corporate world

00:23:24.840 and, you know,

00:23:25.740 succeed and everything,

00:23:26.780 we need to get

00:23:27.840 to the point

00:23:28.320 where everybody

00:23:29.320 agrees they did it

00:23:30.380 on talent

00:23:31.020 and hard work.

00:23:33.960 Wouldn't that be cool?

00:23:35.900 That seems like

00:23:36.520 the least racist

00:23:37.340 place we could be.

00:23:38.980 But at the moment,

00:23:40.180 if you have

00:23:40.760 any kind of,

00:23:41.440 you know,

00:23:41.860 quotas or preferences,

00:23:43.500 it's just purely racist.

00:23:45.200 So,

00:23:45.820 I think we've gotten

00:23:46.500 to the point

00:23:47.020 in society

00:23:47.720 where racist

00:23:49.740 is no longer

00:23:50.580 a bad word

00:23:51.340 because we actually

00:23:54.000 design things

00:23:54.880 to racism,

00:23:56.500 you know,

00:23:56.760 both ways.

00:23:58.300 Yeah.

00:23:58.760 So,

00:23:59.560 I would agree,

00:24:01.120 for example,

00:24:01.640 that the school systems

00:24:03.300 are racist

00:24:04.820 because they very much

00:24:08.120 favor people

00:24:08.820 out of money

00:24:09.300 because the people

00:24:10.120 with money

00:24:10.520 can go to a better school,

00:24:11.940 they can go to

00:24:12.560 private school,

00:24:13.720 et cetera.

00:24:13.940 And because of,

00:24:15.880 in my opinion,

00:24:17.700 systemic racism

00:24:18.720 forever,

00:24:20.020 black schools

00:24:20.760 are inadequate,

00:24:22.600 totally inadequate.

00:24:24.780 So,

00:24:25.600 you know,

00:24:25.860 there's tons

00:24:27.420 of racism

00:24:29.380 happening

00:24:29.840 and tons of,

00:24:31.180 let's say,

00:24:31.880 racism

00:24:32.320 that's engineered

00:24:33.440 in to correct

00:24:34.420 other racism,

00:24:35.600 but we have now

00:24:36.600 a thoroughly racist

00:24:37.700 society.

00:24:39.500 So,

00:24:39.860 all yesterday

00:24:40.600 people were calling

00:24:41.440 me a racist

00:24:41.940 and I thought,

00:24:43.460 well,

00:24:43.640 that's true.

00:24:44.280 That's exactly

00:24:44.880 what I said.

00:24:46.240 It's also exactly

00:24:47.140 what everybody

00:24:47.760 else is saying.

00:24:49.300 I mean,

00:24:49.940 different topics,

00:24:51.600 but we're at the point

00:24:52.580 where 100%

00:24:53.320 of people are racist

00:24:54.160 and it would be

00:24:55.600 kind of stupid

00:24:56.480 to act like

00:24:57.340 it's not true.

00:24:59.360 So,

00:25:00.000 let me ask you this.

00:25:03.320 Do you think

00:25:03.980 you should spend time

00:25:05.240 with a group

00:25:06.160 if half of the group

00:25:08.280 dislikes you

00:25:09.720 for some reason?

00:25:10.940 Let's say

00:25:11.340 half of the group

00:25:11.940 has a bad feeling

00:25:12.680 about you

00:25:13.140 because of racism.

00:25:15.680 That's what

00:25:16.260 the Rasmussen poll

00:25:17.100 said.

00:25:18.000 Why would you

00:25:18.460 spend time

00:25:19.100 with a group

00:25:19.760 half of whom

00:25:21.200 don't like you?

00:25:23.340 Why would you

00:25:24.040 do that?

00:25:25.180 Would that be stupid?

00:25:27.180 Now,

00:25:27.640 what people said

00:25:28.760 is you're being racist

00:25:30.060 and again,

00:25:30.680 I'm saying

00:25:31.000 that's exactly

00:25:31.760 what I'm being.

00:25:32.960 No,

00:25:33.320 not even a little bit

00:25:34.260 not.

00:25:35.560 Precisely,

00:25:36.120 exactly racist.

00:25:37.120 because any group

00:25:39.980 that half of them

00:25:41.160 who get polled

00:25:42.460 say that

00:25:43.060 it's not okay

00:25:43.680 to meet me,

00:25:44.560 I don't want

00:25:45.200 to spend time

00:25:45.740 with them.

00:25:46.540 Why would you?

00:25:48.700 Now,

00:25:49.240 some people,

00:25:50.140 the dumb people

00:25:50.760 who want to

00:25:51.980 cause trouble,

00:25:53.320 imagine that I meant

00:25:54.640 that all white people 0.95

00:25:57.160 should stay away

00:25:57.860 from all black people

00:25:58.960 in all scenarios.

00:25:59.760 How many of you

00:26:01.980 are dumb enough

00:26:02.600 to think that

00:26:03.120 I thought that?

00:26:03.700 Is there anybody

00:26:06.460 who wants to admit

00:26:07.100 they're dumb enough

00:26:07.820 to think that I meant

00:26:09.420 that all white people 0.95

00:26:10.340 should avoid

00:26:10.860 all black people?

00:26:13.000 Come on,

00:26:13.720 you can admit it.

00:26:14.800 You can admit

00:26:15.480 you were dumb enough

00:26:16.220 to think that's

00:26:16.840 what I said

00:26:17.460 because all of our

00:26:18.560 social media people

00:26:19.440 are saying it.

00:26:20.600 You can admit it.

00:26:21.520 Just admit it in public.

00:26:23.100 Admit that you're

00:26:23.700 dumb enough

00:26:24.220 to think that I meant

00:26:25.520 all white people

00:26:26.240 and all black people

00:26:27.000 should act just the same.

00:26:29.680 You can admit it.

00:26:31.280 There you go.

00:26:32.200 There's somebody

00:26:32.640 who's willing to admit

00:26:33.400 how dumb they are

00:26:34.060 and I appreciate that.

00:26:35.280 That's honest.

00:26:36.820 That's honest.

00:26:38.600 All right.

00:26:39.720 So,

00:26:40.380 let's see what else

00:26:41.800 people said.

00:26:44.060 So,

00:26:44.520 the way it's being portrayed

00:26:45.440 is,

00:26:46.380 of course,

00:26:47.140 because the media

00:26:47.840 is dishonest. 0.66

00:26:49.420 The way it's being portrayed

00:26:50.480 is that I don't want

00:26:51.900 to be around black people

00:26:52.980 because I don't like them.

00:26:54.980 Have I ever said

00:26:55.640 anything like that?

00:26:58.100 Does that sound like

00:26:59.000 anything I've ever said?

00:27:02.580 No.

00:27:03.400 I've actually

00:27:04.240 identified as black

00:27:05.680 for years

00:27:06.380 until this week.

00:27:08.280 Why?

00:27:09.420 Because I like them

00:27:10.100 so much.

00:27:11.160 I love black people.

00:27:13.060 Like,

00:27:13.460 literally.

00:27:14.400 Literally love them.

00:27:17.060 Now,

00:27:17.660 that's,

00:27:18.340 again,

00:27:18.860 a bigoted statement,

00:27:20.020 is it not?

00:27:21.600 Isn't that racist?

00:27:24.180 Yes.

00:27:25.340 Yes,

00:27:25.920 it is.

00:27:26.180 I just said

00:27:27.800 I love black people,

00:27:28.960 which is true,

00:27:30.960 and that's a racist statement.

00:27:35.680 And I'm proud of it.

00:27:37.840 Now,

00:27:38.440 individuals

00:27:39.060 should always be

00:27:41.240 judged as individuals.

00:27:43.620 Did anybody think

00:27:44.680 that I was opposed

00:27:46.040 to judging individuals

00:27:47.640 as individuals?

00:27:49.720 Of course not.

00:27:51.340 Of course not.

00:27:53.340 I don't know.

00:27:54.000 Did you see

00:27:54.480 Hotep Jesus 0.82

00:27:55.840 did a video response

00:27:57.540 to my video?

00:27:59.020 I was just listening

00:27:59.900 to it this morning.

00:28:01.180 It was kind of brilliant,

00:28:02.680 and I love this guy.

00:28:03.840 I love Hotep.

00:28:04.900 I've been on his show.

00:28:06.280 Terrific guy.

00:28:07.680 And, you know,

00:28:08.180 he has some,

00:28:08.680 he has some speculations

00:28:10.500 about me.

00:28:11.340 I'll let,

00:28:11.900 I'll let his speculations

00:28:13.620 speak for themselves,

00:28:15.060 so I won't comment

00:28:16.560 on them at the moment.

00:28:18.000 Now,

00:28:18.240 he invited me

00:28:18.860 on his show

00:28:19.380 and invited me

00:28:20.980 to, you know,

00:28:21.860 respond.

00:28:24.460 Well,

00:28:24.960 do you think

00:28:25.740 I don't love that guy?

00:28:27.800 Do you think

00:28:28.260 I don't love

00:28:28.920 Hotep Jesus?

00:28:29.880 I love that guy.

00:28:31.320 He's terrific.

00:28:32.720 Yeah.

00:28:33.100 Dr. Funk Juice,

00:28:34.400 you think I don't love him?

00:28:35.740 I love Dr. Funk Juice.

00:28:37.360 He's a regular here.

00:28:39.320 Yeah.

00:28:40.040 So anybody who thought

00:28:41.220 that it,

00:28:41.940 like,

00:28:42.980 that it applied

00:28:44.180 to individuals,

00:28:46.540 well,

00:28:46.780 how dumb was that?

00:28:48.720 I mean,

00:28:49.000 you have to,

00:28:49.420 you have to look

00:28:50.140 at yourself and say,

00:28:51.440 whoever said something

00:28:52.840 that applied to everybody

00:28:53.880 in any context,

00:28:56.460 it never applies

00:28:57.300 to everybody.

00:28:58.340 And it never applies

00:28:59.420 to every situation.

00:29:01.400 Let me,

00:29:01.680 here's another test

00:29:02.560 to see how dumb you are. 0.75

00:29:03.540 And you can admit it

00:29:04.320 if you're this dumb. 0.59

00:29:05.940 Did you think

00:29:06.980 that if I visited

00:29:08.860 a historically black college,

00:29:11.120 like,

00:29:11.400 I think that's where

00:29:12.000 Kamala was,

00:29:12.580 that I would be afraid

00:29:15.280 or would want

00:29:16.080 to run away

00:29:16.600 or wouldn't like

00:29:17.320 the people I met?

00:29:19.580 No.

00:29:20.880 No.

00:29:21.320 I would trust

00:29:22.560 that all of you

00:29:23.320 are smart enough

00:29:24.160 to know that,

00:29:25.980 you know,

00:29:26.540 sweeping statements

00:29:27.760 are,

00:29:29.420 of course,

00:29:30.320 always open

00:29:31.000 to lots of exceptions.

00:29:33.760 Everybody should know that.

00:29:35.080 You're all adults.

00:29:36.220 I shouldn't have

00:29:36.800 to explain to you

00:29:37.780 that generalities

00:29:39.280 don't apply

00:29:39.860 to all people.

00:29:40.520 That should be

00:29:41.540 the most basic thing

00:29:42.560 you know

00:29:43.000 as an adult.

00:29:45.700 And I hope you do.

00:29:49.080 I got some support

00:29:50.720 from Kim Creighton.

00:29:55.440 I'm judging

00:29:56.300 based on the profile

00:29:57.980 that Kim is a black 1.00

00:29:59.640 American woman.

00:30:01.360 She calls herself

00:30:02.140 an anti-racist economist.

00:30:04.260 And her pronouns

00:30:05.140 are she and her.

00:30:05.880 And what Kim said

00:30:09.340 about this situation

00:30:10.400 was, quote,

00:30:11.360 talk about me,

00:30:12.680 he cited a recent poll.

00:30:14.780 He said,

00:30:15.280 shows that nearly

00:30:15.980 half of all blacks

00:30:16.940 are not okay

00:30:17.620 with white people.

00:30:19.100 And then Kim goes on,

00:30:20.640 this is so funny to me

00:30:21.940 that white folks 0.70

00:30:24.060 spelled F-O-L-X

00:30:25.660 folks.

00:30:27.980 That's interesting.

00:30:29.160 Are surprised

00:30:29.860 because blacks 0.96

00:30:30.640 are not okay

00:30:31.360 with white people.

00:30:32.760 Given history

00:30:33.420 and today,

00:30:34.240 why should we be?

00:30:36.600 Exactly.

00:30:38.360 Exactly.

00:30:40.200 I agree.

00:30:43.140 So here's a black woman 1.00

00:30:44.700 who's agreeing

00:30:45.660 that I should feel

00:30:47.520 uncomfortable

00:30:48.120 around populations

00:30:50.220 of black people

00:30:51.080 because some large

00:30:52.920 group of them

00:30:53.560 would have a reasonable,

00:30:57.120 historically based,

00:30:59.080 bad opinion of me.

00:31:01.820 Now this was my point.

00:31:04.240 Right?

00:31:05.180 My point is that

00:31:06.760 some large percentage,

00:31:08.900 and I'm not sure

00:31:09.680 that the Rasmussen poll

00:31:10.820 had exactly the right percentage.

00:31:12.760 One of the things

00:31:13.260 that Hotep Jesus 0.97

00:31:15.060 pointed out correctly

00:31:16.200 is that the nature

00:31:17.920 of the question

00:31:18.660 was so open

00:31:19.960 to interpretation

00:31:20.820 that you don't really

00:31:21.980 know where

00:31:22.520 that would have

00:31:24.840 fallen out

00:31:25.360 if they'd asked

00:31:25.900 the question differently.

00:31:26.620 But whether or not

00:31:29.700 nearly half

00:31:30.800 of all black people

00:31:31.700 have the opinion,

00:31:33.860 or if it's only 25%,

00:31:36.780 it's still way too much.

00:31:39.560 Way too much.

00:31:41.600 Would you hang around

00:31:43.560 in a group

00:31:44.040 where 25% of them

00:31:45.440 had a bad feeling

00:31:47.000 about you?

00:31:48.480 I recommend getting away

00:31:50.040 from any group

00:31:50.860 where 25% of them

00:31:52.840 have a bad feeling

00:31:53.640 about you.

00:31:54.080 That's just not

00:31:55.220 a safe place to be.

00:31:59.460 And it doesn't matter

00:32:00.360 who you are,

00:32:01.100 what ethnicity you are,

00:32:02.480 et cetera.

00:32:03.300 If you were a black, 0.99

00:32:06.320 let's say you're

00:32:07.080 a young black person,

00:32:08.600 and you had a chance

00:32:10.040 to hang around

00:32:10.680 with a bunch

00:32:11.260 of white supremacists,

00:32:13.080 it's probably a bad idea.

00:32:15.360 I'd say run away.

00:32:17.540 I'd say run away.

00:32:18.320 Now let's say

00:32:19.380 they're not all

00:32:20.120 white supremacists,

00:32:21.600 but let's say

00:32:22.180 they're not condemning them.

00:32:24.400 You know what I mean?

00:32:25.820 They're not white supremacists,

00:32:27.660 per se.

00:32:29.700 But let's say

00:32:30.360 there's a group of people

00:32:31.280 who refuses to condemn them

00:32:33.080 for whatever reason.

00:32:35.080 If you were black, 0.99

00:32:35.860 would you hang around

00:32:36.420 with that group of people?

00:32:38.620 I wouldn't.

00:32:41.420 And I would recommend

00:32:42.940 that you don't either.

00:32:44.400 All right,

00:32:44.620 now there's a second part

00:32:45.620 of this so-called controversy

00:32:47.740 that isn't really

00:32:48.520 a controversy.

00:32:49.120 The reason this is

00:32:50.420 not a controversy

00:32:51.100 is that nobody

00:32:51.780 disagrees with me.

00:32:53.720 By the way,

00:32:54.400 you've caught that, right?

00:32:56.500 Nobody disagrees with me.

00:32:58.620 Some people

00:32:59.320 have misinterpreted it

00:33:00.560 so they'd have something

00:33:01.400 to, you know,

00:33:02.300 jabber about.

00:33:03.280 But nobody disagrees

00:33:04.340 with any of my points,

00:33:05.680 black or white.

00:33:07.460 Right?

00:33:08.100 That the temperature

00:33:10.800 of the country

00:33:12.100 has gotten so bad

00:33:13.420 that it's actually

00:33:15.320 dangerous to mix

00:33:16.860 across ethnicities

00:33:19.440 in some cases.

00:33:21.020 Not every case.

00:33:22.360 But there are some cases

00:33:23.280 where the temperature

00:33:24.400 is just so high

00:33:25.300 that I would just

00:33:26.420 stay away.

00:33:27.780 I'd say,

00:33:28.060 it looks a little

00:33:28.660 dangerous to me.

00:33:31.020 So,

00:33:31.680 the other,

00:33:33.540 the second thing is,

00:33:34.540 I said separately,

00:33:36.400 but then I think

00:33:36.940 I've combined them,

00:33:37.840 so these are two things

00:33:38.720 that got kind of conflated,

00:33:40.540 that things are so bad

00:33:42.640 in the black American

00:33:44.000 communities,

00:33:44.780 in my opinion,

00:33:46.660 because of systemic racism.

00:33:48.860 So the, you know,

00:33:49.940 economics are bad,

00:33:51.200 that's always a breeding

00:33:52.060 ground for crime,

00:33:53.660 crime is high,

00:33:54.600 there's a lot of

00:33:55.140 racial hatred,

00:33:56.180 et cetera.

00:33:57.200 And so,

00:33:58.300 as a proxy,

00:34:00.480 just as a,

00:34:01.180 like a flag

00:34:02.400 or an indicator,

00:34:03.940 you don't want to go

00:34:04.980 where there's a high

00:34:05.900 percentage of urban

00:34:07.160 black population.

00:34:09.840 And you should run away

00:34:10.740 from that as fast

00:34:11.440 as you can.

00:34:11.880 But here's the part

00:34:13.060 I think,

00:34:13.580 I think was missing

00:34:14.580 from my analysis.

00:34:16.420 You should do that

00:34:17.380 if you're black.

00:34:20.240 You get that,

00:34:21.120 right?

00:34:22.400 Let's say,

00:34:23.200 you're a single mom,

00:34:24.760 I'll just,

00:34:25.200 you know,

00:34:25.460 paint a picture here.

00:34:26.740 It doesn't have to be

00:34:27.400 a single mom.

00:34:28.580 Let the single mom away, 1.00

00:34:30.060 because that,

00:34:30.560 that's a distraction.

00:34:31.800 Let's say you are

00:34:32.600 black parents,

00:34:34.020 and you've got a kid

00:34:35.300 who's got,

00:34:35.920 you think has some potential.

00:34:37.760 You're like,

00:34:38.120 I think my kid

00:34:39.000 can get out of this place.

00:34:41.880 What would be

00:34:43.440 the best thing

00:34:44.280 for you to do

00:34:44.960 as black parents

00:34:46.040 to support

00:34:47.180 your black son

00:34:48.560 or daughter?

00:34:50.100 Move.

00:34:50.780 Yeah.

00:34:51.300 And where would you

00:34:51.920 move to?

00:34:53.760 Well,

00:34:54.500 unfortunately,

00:34:55.680 because of years

00:34:56.780 of systemic racism,

00:34:58.480 finding a mostly

00:34:59.760 black neighborhood

00:35:00.580 that would be

00:35:03.200 really focused

00:35:03.920 on education

00:35:04.720 and advancement

00:35:05.620 and low crime,

00:35:07.620 it would be hard

00:35:08.340 to find.

00:35:09.460 Now,

00:35:09.640 I don't know

00:35:09.980 that there are none,

00:35:11.180 you know,

00:35:11.940 there might be,

00:35:12.840 but the correlation

00:35:14.420 is so strong

00:35:15.560 because of systemic racism

00:35:18.120 for years,

00:35:19.400 in my opinion,

00:35:20.620 that's why,

00:35:21.500 that you could

00:35:22.560 actually use it

00:35:23.300 as a decision-making

00:35:24.580 gauge

00:35:25.660 and that all

00:35:26.880 white people do.

00:35:28.180 They just don't

00:35:28.740 talk about it.

00:35:29.780 All Asian Americans

00:35:30.900 do.

00:35:31.680 They just don't

00:35:32.240 talk about it.

00:35:33.180 And all black people

00:35:34.480 do.

00:35:35.200 They just don't

00:35:35.900 talk about it.

00:35:36.540 I'm going to tell

00:35:39.060 you something

00:35:39.420 that happened

00:35:39.840 to me yesterday

00:35:40.420 to make my point.

00:35:42.860 I got a phone call

00:35:44.000 from somebody

00:35:44.580 I'd worked with

00:35:45.700 professionally

00:35:46.200 who was very

00:35:47.920 disturbed

00:35:48.420 about my statements

00:35:50.880 because he was

00:35:53.940 married to a black

00:35:54.800 woman and she was 1.00

00:35:55.720 very disturbed

00:35:56.460 about it.

00:35:57.460 And she said

00:35:58.060 that they lived

00:35:59.060 in an upscale

00:35:59.840 white neighborhood

00:36:00.520 and she was

00:36:02.960 concerned that

00:36:03.880 my attitude

00:36:04.400 might catch on

00:36:05.840 and she would

00:36:06.780 be ostracized

00:36:07.700 in her white

00:36:08.680 neighborhood.

00:36:10.680 Have you ever

00:36:11.420 met anybody

00:36:12.080 who would ostracize

00:36:13.280 a black woman 0.97

00:36:14.540 in a high-end

00:36:15.680 neighborhood?

00:36:17.860 Like, I don't

00:36:18.680 think that's

00:36:19.040 ever happened.

00:36:20.400 Like, maybe

00:36:21.120 in the history

00:36:21.620 of the entire

00:36:22.160 world.

00:36:23.520 Not a woman 1.00

00:36:24.160 and not in a

00:36:25.520 high-end

00:36:26.020 upscale neighborhood.

00:36:27.380 So, I have

00:36:29.660 great empathy

00:36:30.220 and I'm sorry

00:36:30.980 that her

00:36:31.840 feelings were

00:36:32.440 hurt, but she

00:36:33.960 doesn't have

00:36:34.340 any risk.

00:36:35.680 You know, let

00:36:36.260 me explain how

00:36:37.120 white people

00:36:37.580 work.

00:36:38.900 If you're a 0.88

00:36:40.680 black woman 1.00

00:36:42.480 living in a

00:36:44.520 high-end

00:36:44.940 white neighborhood,

00:36:45.880 you are

00:36:46.120 completely

00:36:46.620 accepted.

00:36:48.000 Completely.

00:36:50.520 That's my

00:36:51.320 experience.

00:36:52.700 Like, I can

00:36:53.380 speak for my

00:36:54.000 own neighborhood,

00:36:54.900 right?

00:36:55.720 So, you

00:36:56.880 know, there's

00:36:57.360 like literally

00:36:58.320 zero, any

00:37:00.320 kind of

00:37:01.140 discrimination

00:37:03.080 that you

00:37:03.960 could find

00:37:04.360 anywhere.

00:37:05.220 It just

00:37:05.560 doesn't exist.

00:37:06.920 In my

00:37:07.280 neighborhood.

00:37:08.600 And I think

00:37:09.320 that's not that

00:37:09.920 uncommon.

00:37:11.080 But here's

00:37:11.600 the punchline.

00:37:14.420 They were

00:37:14.900 complaining about

00:37:15.680 my point of

00:37:16.360 view that you

00:37:17.160 should get

00:37:17.560 away from

00:37:18.260 black people.

00:37:20.080 I remember

00:37:20.480 that was in

00:37:21.000 context.

00:37:22.000 If you're

00:37:22.280 in a context,

00:37:23.200 it sounds

00:37:23.500 completely

00:37:23.880 different.

00:37:25.300 But they

00:37:26.100 had done the

00:37:26.760 same thing.

00:37:28.320 They had

00:37:28.980 moved away

00:37:29.500 from black

00:37:29.940 people to

00:37:31.520 live with

00:37:31.900 white people.

00:37:33.980 That was

00:37:34.620 my point.

00:37:36.560 So the

00:37:37.200 very thing

00:37:37.700 that they

00:37:38.060 did to

00:37:39.000 organize their

00:37:39.660 life was

00:37:40.720 exactly what

00:37:41.380 I recommend.

00:37:42.220 It wouldn't

00:37:42.740 matter if

00:37:43.120 you're white 0.98

00:37:43.480 or black.

00:37:44.700 You should

00:37:45.040 get away from

00:37:45.640 concentrations of

00:37:46.860 inner city,

00:37:48.200 you know,

00:37:48.420 terrible schools

00:37:49.240 and whatever

00:37:50.040 culture is not

00:37:50.920 working.

00:37:51.560 Now, I don't

00:37:51.860 know why it's

00:37:52.380 not working.

00:37:52.920 I think

00:37:53.220 systemic racism

00:37:54.280 is the

00:37:55.120 base reason.

00:37:57.960 Then here's

00:37:58.700 the other

00:37:58.940 thing that

00:37:59.760 is why

00:38:02.560 the response

00:38:03.360 to me is

00:38:04.000 not as big

00:38:04.900 as you

00:38:05.480 might expect.

00:38:07.000 Did you

00:38:07.500 think there

00:38:07.820 would be

00:38:08.000 more pushback

00:38:08.680 to what I

00:38:09.060 said?

00:38:10.020 I mean,

00:38:10.240 there's a lot,

00:38:11.440 but didn't

00:38:11.780 you think

00:38:12.040 there would

00:38:12.240 be more?

00:38:13.980 Do you know

00:38:14.340 what they

00:38:14.580 don't want

00:38:14.960 to hear?

00:38:15.620 They is

00:38:16.080 all white

00:38:16.620 people.

00:38:17.300 You know,

00:38:17.480 I'm not

00:38:17.740 talking about

00:38:18.120 black people.

00:38:19.180 Do you know

00:38:19.460 what all white

00:38:20.060 people don't

00:38:20.560 want to hear?

00:38:20.900 everybody who

00:38:23.900 ever succeeded

00:38:24.740 did it the

00:38:25.800 same way.

00:38:29.040 That's like,

00:38:30.060 that's the

00:38:30.640 most dangerous

00:38:31.200 message in

00:38:31.820 America.

00:38:32.940 Everyone who

00:38:33.680 ever succeeded

00:38:34.340 did it the

00:38:34.880 same way.

00:38:36.060 Five things

00:38:36.720 you've got to

00:38:37.080 get right.

00:38:38.800 Number one,

00:38:41.060 stay in a

00:38:41.720 jail.

00:38:43.320 Number two,

00:38:44.860 don't be

00:38:45.520 addicted to

00:38:47.180 alcohol or

00:38:47.860 drugs.

00:38:49.040 Number three,

00:38:49.720 don't start

00:38:50.900 a family

00:38:51.380 too young

00:38:52.000 before you're

00:38:52.580 ready.

00:38:54.420 Right?

00:38:54.720 And if you

00:38:55.120 do,

00:38:55.560 stay married.

00:38:57.500 Number four,

00:38:59.180 make education

00:39:00.140 or training,

00:39:01.580 you know,

00:39:01.760 any form of

00:39:02.580 learning,

00:39:03.360 your top

00:39:03.900 priority

00:39:04.380 through life.

00:39:06.840 Number five,

00:39:08.820 show some

00:39:09.380 character.

00:39:10.980 And that

00:39:11.260 would include

00:39:11.680 everything from

00:39:12.280 showing up on

00:39:12.960 time to,

00:39:14.560 you know,

00:39:14.920 being a good

00:39:15.440 person,

00:39:16.060 et cetera.

00:39:16.980 100% of the

00:39:18.040 people,

00:39:19.040 yeah,

00:39:19.260 I won't say

00:39:19.740 100%,

00:39:20.240 but everybody

00:39:21.400 who succeeded

00:39:22.160 pretty much

00:39:23.880 did it that

00:39:24.400 way.

00:39:25.360 Now,

00:39:25.740 which part of

00:39:26.180 that is

00:39:26.480 unavailable to

00:39:27.720 black America?

00:39:29.160 None of it.

00:39:30.220 It's all

00:39:30.720 available.

00:39:32.020 It's all

00:39:32.700 available.

00:39:33.840 Right?

00:39:34.380 And we are

00:39:35.920 treating black 1.00

00:39:37.200 Americans like

00:39:38.020 infants to

00:39:39.520 imagine they're

00:39:40.180 the only group

00:39:41.160 who can't do

00:39:42.380 the most obvious

00:39:43.240 thing that

00:39:44.060 everybody knows

00:39:44.820 how to do.

00:39:45.760 Everybody.

00:39:46.180 And it's

00:39:47.300 the only

00:39:47.580 group that

00:39:47.960 can't do

00:39:48.320 it?

00:39:49.740 That's pretty

00:39:50.460 racist, 0.77

00:39:50.920 isn't it?

00:39:51.940 To imagine

00:39:52.800 that there's

00:39:53.320 only one

00:39:53.840 group that

00:39:54.600 can't use

00:39:55.260 the same

00:39:55.680 formula that

00:39:56.380 everybody uses,

00:39:57.880 they're the

00:39:58.240 only group

00:39:58.640 that can't

00:39:58.980 use that

00:39:59.340 simple,

00:39:59.880 easy formula.

00:40:01.200 That is

00:40:02.000 super racist.

00:40:03.460 Is it not?

00:40:05.820 I mean,

00:40:06.500 almost our

00:40:07.040 entire structure

00:40:07.840 is built

00:40:08.380 around black

00:40:09.120 inferiority,

00:40:10.300 which is not

00:40:11.240 demonstrated by

00:40:12.080 anything I'm

00:40:12.760 aware of.

00:40:13.240 Because I

00:40:15.660 know somebody's

00:40:16.180 going to say,

00:40:16.600 oh, it's

00:40:17.080 IQ, it's

00:40:17.720 IQ, but

00:40:18.880 that doesn't

00:40:20.080 explain any

00:40:20.660 of this.

00:40:21.980 It doesn't.

00:40:22.980 It just

00:40:23.320 doesn't.

00:40:25.080 Because black 0.98

00:40:26.260 Americans do

00:40:26.880 great when they

00:40:27.920 have good

00:40:28.500 situations.

00:40:29.720 They do

00:40:30.040 great.

00:40:30.380 Everybody does.

00:40:31.240 Basically,

00:40:31.860 everybody does

00:40:33.020 great if they

00:40:34.340 follow the

00:40:34.880 five rules.

00:40:37.600 Now, not

00:40:38.460 everybody is

00:40:39.060 going to be

00:40:39.660 doing rocket

00:40:41.740 science.

00:40:42.100 See, the

00:40:43.040 thing that

00:40:43.500 white racists

00:40:44.480 get wrong

00:40:45.000 all the

00:40:45.460 time, and

00:40:46.160 I have to

00:40:46.480 explain this

00:40:47.020 to you

00:40:47.280 again, I

00:40:48.280 feel like I

00:40:48.640 explain this

00:40:49.160 all the

00:40:49.440 time.

00:40:51.240 Among men

00:40:52.240 in particular,

00:40:53.060 there's such

00:40:53.420 variance in

00:40:54.440 IQ that if

00:40:56.820 there are a

00:40:57.100 bunch of

00:40:57.360 people at

00:40:57.720 the top or

00:40:58.400 a bunch of

00:40:58.800 people at

00:40:59.140 the bottom,

00:41:00.280 it skews

00:41:00.740 the average.

00:41:03.080 So there

00:41:04.440 are a whole

00:41:04.720 bunch of

00:41:05.300 white people

00:41:06.220 who are

00:41:07.340 super,

00:41:07.940 super smart

00:41:08.640 and inventing

00:41:10.160 technology and

00:41:11.960 stuff, but

00:41:12.720 I'm not

00:41:13.160 one of

00:41:13.480 them.

00:41:14.680 I'm not

00:41:15.300 one of

00:41:15.580 them.

00:41:16.340 Chances 0.72

00:41:16.640 are you're

00:41:17.040 not either.

00:41:18.560 So to

00:41:19.360 lump me in

00:41:20.260 with these

00:41:20.760 geniuses that 0.84

00:41:21.540 are not

00:41:21.880 me, how

00:41:23.500 does that

00:41:23.820 make sense?

00:41:25.340 How do

00:41:25.940 you take

00:41:26.300 these freaks

00:41:27.480 of nature

00:41:27.940 who are

00:41:28.320 super smart

00:41:29.000 and then

00:41:30.060 average them

00:41:30.740 with you

00:41:31.520 and me?

00:41:33.120 And then

00:41:33.760 think you

00:41:34.120 have something.

00:41:35.000 Oh, I've

00:41:35.520 got something

00:41:36.020 that's useful

00:41:36.620 because I

00:41:37.420 average people

00:41:38.100 who are

00:41:38.300 completely

00:41:38.720 different.

00:41:39.100 It would

00:41:41.060 make sense

00:41:41.600 to compare

00:41:42.220 IQ of

00:41:43.920 any two

00:41:44.540 groups if

00:41:45.800 all of

00:41:46.180 their IQs

00:41:46.760 were the

00:41:47.080 same within

00:41:47.700 the group.

00:41:49.080 Well, then

00:41:49.480 you'd have

00:41:49.800 something.

00:41:51.700 But otherwise

00:41:53.000 all you're

00:41:53.440 doing is

00:41:53.780 averaging things

00:41:54.620 that don't

00:41:54.980 make sense

00:41:55.420 to be

00:41:55.720 averaged.

00:41:57.380 Right?

00:41:58.500 It just

00:41:59.200 doesn't make

00:41:59.580 sense.

00:42:00.380 Because

00:42:00.900 everybody gets

00:42:01.580 treated as

00:42:02.140 an individual

00:42:02.720 ultimately.

00:42:04.300 So, you

00:42:05.300 know, that

00:42:06.260 the IQ

00:42:07.480 thing, whether

00:42:08.160 it's true

00:42:08.820 or not

00:42:09.540 true, it

00:42:10.380 doesn't

00:42:10.640 have, it

00:42:11.200 doesn't

00:42:11.480 translate into

00:42:12.220 real world

00:42:12.960 action and

00:42:13.980 it just

00:42:14.880 doesn't work

00:42:15.760 in the real

00:42:16.160 world.

00:42:16.820 So it

00:42:17.240 wouldn't

00:42:17.380 matter if

00:42:17.780 it were

00:42:17.980 true.

00:42:18.680 And it

00:42:19.140 doesn't

00:42:19.400 matter how

00:42:19.860 smart white

00:42:20.720 people are

00:42:21.240 on average

00:42:21.900 if you're

00:42:22.760 not one

00:42:23.160 of them.

00:42:24.520 Right?

00:42:25.300 It doesn't

00:42:25.920 matter how

00:42:26.320 smart I

00:42:26.840 am, it

00:42:27.220 does not

00:42:27.600 accrue to

00:42:28.280 any other

00:42:28.820 white people.

00:42:29.980 If I'm

00:42:30.620 very successful,

00:42:32.300 no other

00:42:32.840 white people

00:42:33.280 get to

00:42:33.600 take credit

00:42:34.000 for that.

00:42:35.280 That's just

00:42:35.700 me.

00:42:36.880 If, you

00:42:37.240 know, if

00:42:37.600 Michael Jordan

00:42:38.180 is successful,

00:42:39.360 that doesn't

00:42:40.100 mean all

00:42:40.520 black people

00:42:41.120 can play in

00:42:42.140 the NBA.

00:42:43.440 Right?

00:42:43.840 You can't

00:42:44.480 average Michael

00:42:46.240 Jordan with

00:42:48.000 everybody who

00:42:48.680 plays basketball

00:42:49.480 and say that

00:42:50.120 that gave you

00:42:50.760 something useful.

00:42:52.480 It didn't.

00:42:53.760 That's not

00:42:54.240 useful.

00:42:56.440 Anyway, so

00:42:57.460 if you learn

00:42:57.840 to stop

00:42:58.200 averaging things

00:42:59.040 that don't

00:42:59.400 make sense

00:42:59.860 being averaged

00:43:00.620 together and

00:43:01.140 compared,

00:43:02.240 just,

00:43:02.840 just know

00:43:04.000 that it

00:43:04.280 doesn't make

00:43:04.680 sense.

00:43:05.900 Yeah, so

00:43:06.280 everybody has

00:43:06.800 the same

00:43:07.320 path out.

00:43:08.560 And it

00:43:08.960 usually takes

00:43:09.460 one generation.

00:43:12.300 The black 0.94

00:43:13.140 America could

00:43:13.860 be back on

00:43:14.800 path if

00:43:16.420 schools could

00:43:17.080 be fixed.

00:43:18.080 So right

00:43:18.520 now, black

00:43:18.960 America is

00:43:19.520 completely

00:43:20.160 handicapped by

00:43:21.840 a system

00:43:22.900 which is

00:43:23.780 broken.

00:43:24.660 And the

00:43:25.180 school, the

00:43:27.380 teachers' 0.80

00:43:27.840 unions in

00:43:28.340 particular, I

00:43:29.380 would point

00:43:29.760 out as the

00:43:30.420 main source of

00:43:31.420 systemic racism.

00:43:32.840 the main

00:43:34.120 source.

00:43:36.080 All right.

00:43:40.960 Let me ask

00:43:41.760 you this.

00:43:44.000 How many

00:43:44.760 black viewers

00:43:46.600 do I have?

00:43:47.700 Is anybody

00:43:48.280 black besides 0.99

00:43:51.060 Dr. Funk

00:43:53.000 Juice?

00:43:54.840 A few?

00:43:55.200 All right.

00:43:55.720 So let me

00:43:57.020 see if I can

00:43:57.500 ask this

00:43:57.920 question.

00:44:00.160 And I'm

00:44:02.040 only going to

00:44:02.500 ask you if

00:44:03.640 you're black. 0.79

00:44:04.440 Okay?

00:44:05.360 So if you are

00:44:06.280 black, if you

00:44:07.460 identify as

00:44:08.040 black, let's

00:44:08.480 say, say, you

00:44:09.640 know, black

00:44:10.320 colon, and then

00:44:11.420 give me the

00:44:11.840 answer so I

00:44:12.940 know that it's

00:44:13.400 not the white 0.95

00:44:13.940 people jumping

00:44:14.540 in here.

00:44:15.320 Because you know

00:44:15.900 the white people

00:44:16.420 ruin everything.

00:44:17.100 So white 0.86

00:44:18.720 people, don't

00:44:19.800 ruin this

00:44:20.260 poll.

00:44:22.680 Here's the

00:44:23.260 question.

00:44:25.020 If you're

00:44:25.700 black and

00:44:28.300 you knew

00:44:28.900 that, let's

00:44:29.980 say there was

00:44:30.360 a poll that

00:44:30.960 said white

00:44:31.460 people, half

00:44:33.340 of them would

00:44:34.180 not agree with

00:44:35.000 the idea that

00:44:35.780 black lives

00:44:36.400 matter.

00:44:37.520 Now, not

00:44:38.040 just because

00:44:38.840 they want to

00:44:39.300 add in all

00:44:39.880 lives matter and

00:44:40.740 be political

00:44:41.280 about it, but

00:44:42.220 what if the

00:44:43.300 way it was

00:44:43.720 asked was you

00:44:45.120 really, half

00:44:46.780 of them said

00:44:47.200 they don't

00:44:47.500 matter, would

00:44:49.260 you want to

00:44:49.820 spend time with

00:44:50.600 that group?

00:44:52.160 What would be

00:44:52.660 your best

00:44:53.040 strategy for

00:44:54.360 dealing with

00:44:54.940 that group of

00:44:55.520 people?

00:44:55.820 If you knew

00:44:56.460 that half of

00:44:58.060 them, roughly,

00:44:59.740 were not okay

00:45:00.700 with black

00:45:01.500 lives mattering,

00:45:03.080 would you want

00:45:03.540 to spend time

00:45:04.060 with them?

00:45:06.720 Black people,

00:45:08.480 I'm only looking

00:45:09.400 for black

00:45:09.940 answers right

00:45:10.520 now, which

00:45:11.400 is racist. 0.81

00:45:12.600 Can you agree?

00:45:14.020 Pretty racist,

00:45:15.020 right?

00:45:15.520 Favouring

00:45:15.960 black opinions.

00:45:19.220 But everything's

00:45:20.100 racist.

00:45:22.020 Black and

00:45:22.700 no.

00:45:23.200 Dr.

00:45:23.540 Feng Shui 0.57

00:45:23.900 says yes.

00:45:25.500 No.

00:45:28.520 And Dr.

00:45:29.300 Feng Shui 0.57

00:45:29.620 says I

00:45:29.820 believe you.

00:45:31.180 And I

00:45:31.580 believe the

00:45:31.980 others as

00:45:32.400 well.

00:45:37.420 I'm black

00:45:38.180 and you all

00:45:38.580 sound racist,

00:45:39.300 but I don't

00:45:39.580 blame you.

00:45:40.540 See, now

00:45:40.900 that's, that

00:45:43.140 is such a

00:45:45.020 high awareness

00:45:45.640 opinion.

00:45:48.060 I don't know

00:45:48.720 if you caught

00:45:49.080 that.

00:45:50.140 So a black 1.00

00:45:51.240 viewer just

00:45:51.820 said, I'm

00:45:52.320 black, you all 1.00

00:45:53.280 sound racist,

00:45:54.000 but I don't

00:45:54.340 blame you.

00:45:56.200 That's like the

00:45:57.000 perfect summary,

00:45:57.940 isn't it?

00:45:58.680 That's exactly

00:45:59.420 what I'm saying.

00:46:00.060 We should stop

00:46:02.360 separating things

00:46:03.580 by racist and

00:46:04.400 not racist,

00:46:04.960 because it is

00:46:05.420 all racist.

00:46:06.840 It's all

00:46:07.280 racist, from

00:46:08.540 top to

00:46:08.920 bottom.

00:46:09.760 I mean, it's

00:46:10.060 turtles all the

00:46:10.720 way down.

00:46:11.140 Christian Watson

00:46:16.060 says, you

00:46:16.760 uncritically

00:46:17.560 accepted the

00:46:18.400 Rasmussen poll

00:46:19.200 without any

00:46:20.320 further

00:46:20.640 investigation.

00:46:22.100 Well, I

00:46:22.640 wouldn't say

00:46:23.000 uncritically, but

00:46:24.600 your comment is

00:46:25.840 valid.

00:46:26.600 It's the same 0.53

00:46:27.060 one Hothep 0.75

00:46:29.200 Jesus made. 0.95

00:46:31.480 So can we

00:46:32.600 agree that if

00:46:36.060 the poll had

00:46:38.160 been completely

00:46:39.240 invalid, and

00:46:40.620 let's say the

00:46:41.080 number of

00:46:41.620 black Americans

00:46:42.560 who would say

00:46:43.240 such a thing

00:46:43.860 would be like

00:46:45.000 5%, you

00:46:46.280 know, sort

00:46:46.660 of trivial,

00:46:48.020 would I

00:46:48.700 change my

00:46:49.200 opinion, or

00:46:50.440 should I?

00:46:52.020 Or should I?

00:46:53.200 And I would

00:46:53.840 think, yes, that

00:46:55.180 would influence me,

00:46:56.380 because remember,

00:46:57.040 it's a data-driven

00:46:57.900 opinion.

00:47:00.660 So if the data

00:47:01.700 is wrong, but I

00:47:04.200 will point to

00:47:05.040 Kim Craytons,

00:47:06.220 who is a black

00:47:07.100 woman, whose 0.99

00:47:08.240 opinion was that

00:47:09.320 black people

00:47:10.520 should have, I

00:47:11.920 mean, it's

00:47:12.200 normal, and

00:47:12.740 nobody should be

00:47:13.340 surprised, that

00:47:14.740 black people are

00:47:15.480 not okay with

00:47:16.200 white people.

00:47:17.320 And I would say

00:47:18.140 that the

00:47:18.480 Rasmussen poll

00:47:20.240 is consistent

00:47:22.300 with, but this

00:47:23.140 is not a

00:47:23.600 science,

00:47:24.760 consistent with,

00:47:25.860 anecdotally,

00:47:27.660 the fact that

00:47:29.040 the media is

00:47:30.920 anti-white.

00:47:32.620 So if you have

00:47:33.540 a non-stop

00:47:34.440 education and

00:47:35.520 media system,

00:47:36.260 which is

00:47:36.800 consistently

00:47:37.460 anti-white,

00:47:39.380 which I think

00:47:40.440 everybody would

00:47:40.980 agree with.

00:47:42.420 Would the

00:47:43.420 black viewers

00:47:45.220 agree with that

00:47:45.740 statement?

00:47:46.900 That the media

00:47:47.820 is skewing

00:47:48.520 anti-white?

00:47:51.420 Or is that

00:47:52.140 just an

00:47:52.500 impression?

00:47:59.140 Implicit bias,

00:48:00.180 if you have a

00:48:00.680 brain, you have a

00:48:01.460 bias, yeah.

00:48:02.200 Yeah, there's no

00:48:02.780 such thing as not

00:48:03.500 having a bias.

00:48:04.160 I think we

00:48:06.420 treat ourselves

00:48:08.380 like children

00:48:09.120 when we act

00:48:10.660 like some of

00:48:11.280 us are unbiased.

00:48:13.600 That's kind of

00:48:14.380 dumb, isn't it?

00:48:16.940 Right?

00:48:17.520 So this is why

00:48:18.860 I so agree with

00:48:19.720 Kim Creighton,

00:48:21.100 who said,

00:48:22.400 you know,

00:48:22.700 based on

00:48:23.180 history,

00:48:24.460 based on,

00:48:25.220 you know,

00:48:26.160 what society

00:48:27.940 has put forth

00:48:29.180 as information,

00:48:31.380 she says that

00:48:32.320 black people

00:48:32.840 should have a

00:48:33.560 bad opinion

00:48:34.040 of white

00:48:34.700 people.

00:48:36.840 That's what I

00:48:37.560 was saying.

00:48:39.200 Now,

00:48:40.000 so,

00:48:40.960 to your point

00:48:41.560 about the

00:48:41.940 rest of the

00:48:42.320 poll,

00:48:42.840 I accept that

00:48:43.800 the nature of

00:48:44.540 the question

00:48:45.080 was vague

00:48:46.820 enough that

00:48:47.420 people could

00:48:47.860 have answered

00:48:48.340 it with

00:48:49.820 other understanding

00:48:51.740 of the question.

00:48:52.460 For example,

00:48:53.520 and this is

00:48:54.040 Hotep Jesus' 0.98

00:48:55.000 point,

00:48:55.880 one of the

00:48:56.540 ways you could

00:48:57.020 interpret that

00:48:57.640 was,

00:48:58.900 because of

00:48:59.620 the media

00:49:00.480 nature,

00:49:02.440 have they made

00:49:03.120 it seem like

00:49:03.700 it's not

00:49:04.320 okay to be

00:49:04.960 white,

00:49:05.840 which might

00:49:06.400 not be your

00:49:06.940 own opinion.

00:49:08.920 So some

00:49:09.660 people could

00:49:10.100 have answered

00:49:10.480 it not as

00:49:11.600 their own

00:49:12.060 opinion,

00:49:13.240 but rather

00:49:13.800 they could be

00:49:14.320 answering it

00:49:14.840 as,

00:49:15.640 has society

00:49:16.340 decided it's

00:49:17.240 not okay to

00:49:17.840 be white,

00:49:18.720 and might

00:49:19.200 actually be

00:49:19.740 answering in

00:49:20.240 a way that

00:49:20.600 was,

00:49:21.460 I would

00:49:22.100 consider it

00:49:22.680 positive.

00:49:23.020 In other words,

00:49:25.300 if you

00:49:26.000 were black

00:49:26.460 and you

00:49:26.740 answered that

00:49:27.200 question,

00:49:28.140 but what

00:49:28.620 you were

00:49:28.880 thinking

00:49:29.320 internally

00:49:29.940 was,

00:49:30.780 well,

00:49:31.040 I like

00:49:31.340 white people,

00:49:33.700 but society

00:49:35.300 is sort of

00:49:36.080 treating them

00:49:36.720 like it's

00:49:37.080 not okay to

00:49:37.680 be white.

00:49:38.640 So I'm

00:49:38.960 going to say

00:49:39.260 it's not

00:49:39.580 okay to

00:49:39.900 be white,

00:49:40.400 because I'm

00:49:40.680 answering

00:49:40.980 like for

00:49:41.440 society.

00:49:42.560 I'm not

00:49:42.880 talking about

00:49:43.320 my own.

00:49:48.320 Now,

00:49:48.780 I do know

00:49:49.200 what it means

00:49:49.700 to be of a

00:49:50.900 low IQ.

00:49:51.980 I do know

00:49:52.460 what that

00:49:52.720 means.

00:49:52.960 I think

00:49:54.360 you're

00:49:54.540 missing my

00:49:54.980 point,

00:49:55.320 though.

00:49:55.900 Everybody

00:49:56.200 knows what

00:49:56.760 that means.

00:49:57.740 Have you

00:49:58.020 noticed that

00:49:58.460 when people

00:49:58.880 disagree with

00:49:59.640 me,

00:50:00.720 they usually

00:50:01.480 assign an

00:50:02.700 opinion to

00:50:03.180 me that's

00:50:03.540 ridiculous before

00:50:04.580 disagreeing?

00:50:06.300 So here's

00:50:07.000 somebody who's

00:50:07.480 saying that I

00:50:07.940 don't understand

00:50:08.600 what it's like

00:50:09.280 to have a

00:50:09.860 low IQ.

00:50:11.620 I'm pretty

00:50:12.260 sure everybody

00:50:12.800 understands that.

00:50:14.380 Now,

00:50:14.620 did I say

00:50:15.100 that if you

00:50:15.440 had an IQ

00:50:15.880 of 80,

00:50:16.760 you could

00:50:17.400 become a

00:50:17.880 scientist?

00:50:18.960 Did you

00:50:19.340 imagine that I

00:50:20.120 thought that?

00:50:20.920 If only you

00:50:21.780 had all the

00:50:22.260 opportunities,

00:50:22.960 and went

00:50:23.740 to a good

00:50:24.120 school,

00:50:24.660 your IQ

00:50:25.340 of 80

00:50:25.740 would be

00:50:26.080 fine.

00:50:26.500 You could

00:50:26.740 be a

00:50:26.980 doctor.

00:50:27.720 Is that

00:50:28.040 what you

00:50:28.280 imagined about

00:50:28.940 my opinion?

00:50:30.500 Do you

00:50:30.960 see the

00:50:31.260 consistency?

00:50:32.220 I'm assigned

00:50:32.780 ridiculous

00:50:33.480 opinions because

00:50:34.920 my actual

00:50:35.600 opinions you

00:50:36.200 agree with.

00:50:39.400 My actual

00:50:40.400 opinions you

00:50:41.020 completely agree

00:50:41.840 with.

00:50:42.540 That's what's

00:50:43.200 dangerous about

00:50:43.860 this, isn't

00:50:44.340 it?

00:50:45.080 What's

00:50:45.540 dangerous is

00:50:46.120 not that you

00:50:46.600 disagree.

00:50:47.860 The reason

00:50:48.580 I'm trending

00:50:49.140 is because I

00:50:49.900 have many

00:50:50.180 people agreed,

00:50:51.740 not because I

00:50:52.460 have many

00:50:52.680 disagreed.

00:50:56.580 All right.

00:51:00.800 So that's

00:51:01.760 that.

00:51:03.620 I'm switching

00:51:04.540 my endorsement

00:51:05.320 from Trump

00:51:06.560 to Vivek,

00:51:10.580 Ramaswamy,

00:51:11.780 because as I've

00:51:12.840 been telling you

00:51:13.420 for a while,

00:51:14.140 I'm a one-issue

00:51:15.680 voter.

00:51:17.080 And while Trump

00:51:17.940 has said clearly

00:51:19.220 that he would

00:51:19.760 attack the

00:51:20.340 cartels for

00:51:22.200 fentanyl,

00:51:23.340 Vivek is

00:51:23.940 making a much

00:51:24.560 bigger emphasis

00:51:25.180 on it.

00:51:28.600 So I'm

00:51:29.340 going to go

00:51:29.660 with the

00:51:30.200 bigger emphasis.

00:51:31.860 But I also

00:51:32.540 like the fact

00:51:33.300 that he's not

00:51:34.680 white.

00:51:36.520 Because that

00:51:37.220 would just

00:51:37.500 help.

00:51:38.640 Because it's

00:51:39.260 going to turn,

00:51:39.860 everything turns

00:51:40.640 racist, right?

00:51:41.360 So if

00:51:43.060 white old

00:51:44.820 Trump is

00:51:45.720 attacking Mexico, 0.93

00:51:47.180 people are

00:51:48.740 going to call

00:51:49.080 me a racist.

00:51:50.820 You get that

00:51:51.700 right?

00:51:52.900 If Trump

00:51:53.740 were president,

00:51:54.900 and I

00:51:55.280 supported him

00:51:55.900 because of

00:51:56.520 fentanyl

00:51:57.240 specifically,

00:51:58.320 and then he

00:51:59.100 attacked Mexico,

00:52:00.360 it would be

00:52:01.080 this white guy

00:52:02.280 attacking brown 0.96

00:52:03.260 Mexicans,

00:52:04.160 and I support

00:52:05.000 him, therefore

00:52:05.440 I'm a racist.

00:52:06.580 Am I right?

00:52:07.100 But if

00:52:09.260 Vivek,

00:52:11.080 Ramaswamy,

00:52:12.900 if he's

00:52:13.400 president and

00:52:14.100 he attacks

00:52:14.580 Mexico,

00:52:15.460 that all

00:52:15.980 goes away.

00:52:18.000 So from

00:52:18.760 my personal

00:52:19.800 selfish interest,

00:52:21.400 I'd rather

00:52:21.880 have a brown

00:52:22.720 president attacking

00:52:23.720 a brown

00:52:24.140 country.

00:52:25.800 It's a better

00:52:26.660 look, and he

00:52:27.600 seems pretty

00:52:28.020 serious about

00:52:28.660 it.

00:52:29.740 So I like

00:52:30.660 that.

00:52:34.600 Oh,

00:52:35.260 Vivek,

00:52:35.760 I'm pronouncing

00:52:36.540 his name

00:52:36.900 wrong.

00:52:37.400 Really?

00:52:38.660 It's Vivek?

00:52:41.600 How did

00:52:42.160 you let me

00:52:42.520 go this far

00:52:43.040 without correcting

00:52:44.260 me until now?

00:52:45.060 You probably

00:52:45.400 did, and I

00:52:45.880 didn't see it.

00:52:46.700 Is that

00:52:47.020 correct?

00:52:47.420 It's Vivek,

00:52:48.480 not Vivek.

00:52:50.500 I've been

00:52:50.980 saying it

00:52:51.320 wrong the

00:52:51.620 whole time?

00:52:53.380 I'm not

00:52:53.900 sure you're

00:52:54.320 right.

00:52:56.640 I guess I'll

00:52:57.300 have to go

00:52:57.600 listen to it.

00:52:59.280 Vivek?

00:53:00.020 No.

00:53:01.600 He's probably

00:53:02.280 used to it

00:53:02.900 being pronounced

00:53:03.480 anyway.

00:53:05.460 If you had a

00:53:06.260 name that

00:53:06.620 people couldn't

00:53:07.160 pronounce,

00:53:07.840 wouldn't you

00:53:08.140 just sort of

00:53:08.800 get over it

00:53:09.300 after a while

00:53:09.820 and just

00:53:10.700 give up?

00:53:11.340 Okay,

00:53:11.780 whatever.

00:53:12.400 I'll be

00:53:12.720 whatever you

00:53:13.120 want me to

00:53:13.600 be.

00:53:16.200 All right,

00:53:16.660 well,

00:53:17.280 Harvey Weinstein

00:53:19.840 was sentenced

00:53:20.660 to 16 years

00:53:21.620 in prison

00:53:22.040 today,

00:53:23.400 guilty on

00:53:24.160 three counts

00:53:24.640 of sexual

00:53:25.140 assault.

00:53:26.380 And here's

00:53:26.760 the strangest

00:53:27.320 part of this

00:53:27.800 story.

00:53:30.200 Oh,

00:53:30.400 is somebody

00:53:30.660 saying that

00:53:31.180 Vivek is

00:53:31.920 correct?

00:53:33.160 All right,

00:53:33.500 well,

00:53:33.840 we'll find

00:53:34.180 out.

00:53:36.700 The strangest

00:53:37.560 thing about

00:53:37.900 this Harvey

00:53:38.360 Weinstein

00:53:38.840 being sentenced

00:53:39.560 to prison

00:53:40.120 is,

00:53:40.620 I thought

00:53:41.020 this happened

00:53:41.520 a long time

00:53:42.100 ago.

00:53:43.520 Was he only

00:53:44.320 awaiting trial?

00:53:46.720 Or was he

00:53:47.520 already convicted

00:53:48.240 and then they

00:53:48.860 just added some

00:53:49.580 new stuff?

00:53:52.280 Oh,

00:53:52.560 multiple trials.

00:53:53.340 So he was

00:53:53.720 already in jail,

00:53:54.560 right?

00:53:54.780 Didn't make

00:53:55.140 any difference.

00:53:56.580 We're just

00:53:57.080 adding some

00:53:57.680 to it.

00:53:59.640 All right.

00:54:02.200 All right.

00:54:04.460 That,

00:54:05.080 ladies and 0.98

00:54:05.460 gentlemen,

00:54:06.840 is my

00:54:09.720 prepared

00:54:10.160 presentation.

00:54:11.540 I will now

00:54:12.420 entertain your

00:54:13.400 questions.

00:54:14.880 Does anybody

00:54:15.180 have any

00:54:15.720 questions?

00:54:17.380 By the way,

00:54:18.580 how many of

00:54:19.400 you came here

00:54:20.340 to watch

00:54:22.680 me get

00:54:23.040 canceled and

00:54:24.720 were surprised?

00:54:27.680 Are you

00:54:30.500 a racist,

00:54:31.160 Scott?

00:54:31.420 I accept

00:54:32.200 that everybody's

00:54:32.980 a racist.

00:54:34.260 I think it's

00:54:34.880 ridiculous to

00:54:35.780 act like some

00:54:36.640 people don't

00:54:37.920 think in

00:54:38.440 racial terms.

00:54:40.020 People think

00:54:40.480 in different

00:54:40.900 racial terms,

00:54:42.360 but the

00:54:43.540 news has

00:54:44.600 programmed us

00:54:45.280 all to be

00:54:45.680 racists.

00:54:46.780 So I think

00:54:47.160 you should

00:54:47.420 just all

00:54:47.800 embrace it

00:54:48.320 at this

00:54:48.600 point.

00:54:49.760 Racism is

00:54:50.800 like multimedia.

00:54:53.780 Are you

00:54:54.140 old enough

00:54:54.540 to remember

00:54:55.000 when new

00:54:55.720 computers,

00:54:56.880 they were

00:54:57.200 usually PCs

00:54:58.220 pre-Windows.

00:55:00.960 When they

00:55:01.700 first were

00:55:02.340 able to

00:55:02.780 do video

00:55:03.580 and sound,

00:55:05.480 they were

00:55:05.800 sold as

00:55:06.280 multimedia

00:55:07.000 computers.

00:55:09.180 But now

00:55:09.920 we don't

00:55:10.240 say it's

00:55:10.680 a multimedia

00:55:11.340 computer because

00:55:12.300 every computer

00:55:13.360 is multimedia.

00:55:14.900 And it's

00:55:15.600 like the

00:55:15.880 racist stuff.

00:55:16.980 If you're

00:55:17.680 calling one

00:55:18.300 person a

00:55:18.860 racist, 0.77

00:55:20.240 that's sort

00:55:20.780 of like

00:55:21.260 slicing it a

00:55:23.580 little too

00:55:23.920 little.

00:55:24.940 Everybody's a 0.59

00:55:25.560 racist at

00:55:26.080 this point.

00:55:26.900 Because

00:55:27.140 everybody

00:55:27.460 thinks in

00:55:27.940 racial terms.

00:55:30.700 If you

00:55:31.040 treated

00:55:31.360 everybody as

00:55:32.000 an individual,

00:55:33.520 then you

00:55:33.980 would not

00:55:34.320 be a

00:55:34.620 racist.

00:55:35.780 But if

00:55:36.500 you ever

00:55:36.960 talk about

00:55:37.580 black

00:55:37.940 Americans,

00:55:38.680 or you

00:55:39.080 ever talk

00:55:39.680 about white

00:55:40.100 Americans as

00:55:40.860 a group,

00:55:41.660 you are a

00:55:42.500 racist.

00:55:44.100 As soon as

00:55:44.960 you talk

00:55:45.260 about them

00:55:45.640 as a group,

00:55:46.700 you are a

00:55:47.680 racist.

00:55:48.620 That's what

00:55:49.280 it is,

00:55:49.820 by definition.

00:55:51.700 If you

00:55:52.320 could ignore

00:55:52.760 that and

00:55:53.720 treat everybody

00:55:54.220 as an

00:55:54.560 individual,

00:55:56.060 well,

00:55:56.300 then you

00:55:56.520 would not

00:55:56.800 be.

00:55:57.600 But we

00:55:58.200 live in a

00:55:58.660 system in

00:55:59.220 which you're

00:55:59.680 forced to

00:56:00.640 think in

00:56:01.060 those terms

00:56:01.700 because that's

00:56:03.080 how stuff is

00:56:03.640 coming at

00:56:04.120 you.

00:56:04.820 You have to

00:56:05.240 at least deal

00:56:05.760 with what's

00:56:06.160 coming at

00:56:06.620 you.

00:56:07.740 And

00:56:08.100 affirmative

00:56:09.040 action is

00:56:09.700 something that

00:56:10.100 comes at

00:56:10.520 you.

00:56:12.540 It's not

00:56:13.120 your fault,

00:56:13.640 it just

00:56:13.880 came at

00:56:14.260 you.

00:56:19.000 Snickers is

00:56:19.620 doing great.

00:56:21.760 He's old

00:56:22.580 and tired

00:56:23.020 but she's 0.97

00:56:24.540 much better

00:56:24.980 to use as

00:56:25.520 a pillow

00:56:25.840 when I

00:56:26.180 try to

00:56:26.420 get her 0.89

00:56:26.660 to sleep.

00:56:29.080 If I

00:56:29.600 wake up

00:56:29.980 at 2.30

00:56:30.700 in the

00:56:30.920 morning,

00:56:31.220 as I

00:56:31.640 always do,

00:56:32.480 and I

00:56:32.780 have to

00:56:33.040 decide

00:56:33.340 whether to

00:56:33.760 get up

00:56:34.040 for the

00:56:34.300 day or

00:56:34.600 not,

00:56:35.400 if I

00:56:35.720 don't want

00:56:36.080 to get

00:56:36.240 up for

00:56:36.460 the day,

00:56:37.260 I'll go

00:56:37.680 get a

00:56:37.940 Snickers,

00:56:38.980 and she's

00:56:39.660 always sleepy

00:56:40.180 at night,

00:56:41.240 so she

00:56:41.780 doesn't move

00:56:42.400 around too

00:56:42.820 much,

00:56:43.340 and I'll

00:56:43.800 take her

00:56:44.360 to my

00:56:44.640 bed,

00:56:45.460 and I'll

00:56:45.920 use her 0.82

00:56:46.220 as a

00:56:46.480 pillow,

00:56:47.640 not on

00:56:48.200 top of

00:56:48.560 her,

00:56:48.880 like on

00:56:49.420 side,

00:56:50.720 and her

00:56:52.400 calmness

00:56:54.060 puts me

00:56:55.780 to sleep,

00:56:57.200 because she's

00:56:58.180 sort of warm

00:56:58.680 and fuzzy,

00:56:59.380 and she's

00:56:59.940 happy because

00:57:00.400 she's sleeping,

00:57:01.460 and I pick

00:57:02.900 up her vibe,

00:57:04.540 so I'm

00:57:05.180 kind of using

00:57:05.700 the effect

00:57:06.740 where every

00:57:08.020 once in a

00:57:08.280 while if I

00:57:08.720 drop something

00:57:09.520 on my foot

00:57:10.120 at home,

00:57:10.700 if I yell,

00:57:11.860 the dog will

00:57:12.520 be so upset

00:57:13.360 that I'm

00:57:14.620 upset,

00:57:15.720 that she

00:57:16.020 has to go

00:57:16.580 hide in the

00:57:17.040 backyard,

00:57:17.440 so she's

00:57:19.000 so connected

00:57:19.540 to me

00:57:19.860 emotionally

00:57:20.360 that when

00:57:21.620 I get

00:57:22.040 upset,

00:57:22.520 she gets

00:57:22.840 upset,

00:57:23.360 if I'm

00:57:23.680 happy,

00:57:24.020 she's

00:57:24.240 happy,

00:57:24.780 so basically

00:57:25.300 my mood

00:57:25.860 affects her

00:57:26.380 mood

00:57:26.740 completely,

00:57:27.920 but it

00:57:28.240 works the

00:57:28.540 other way

00:57:28.860 as well,

00:57:29.840 so when

00:57:30.420 she's so

00:57:30.820 sleepy that

00:57:31.440 she just 0.65

00:57:31.760 wants to

00:57:32.200 snore,

00:57:33.920 I just

00:57:34.260 put her 0.96

00:57:34.540 up to

00:57:34.780 my ear

00:57:35.200 and just

00:57:36.920 relax,

00:57:38.080 and I

00:57:38.400 can actually

00:57:38.780 feel her

00:57:39.800 emotional

00:57:41.720 state of

00:57:44.120 relaxation,

00:57:45.180 and it

00:57:45.400 just goes

00:57:45.720 right through

00:57:46.160 me,

00:57:46.420 it's so

00:57:47.380 immediate,

00:57:48.980 and then I

00:57:49.500 just fall

00:57:49.860 asleep,

00:57:51.860 so one

00:57:53.680 of the

00:57:53.880 most useful

00:57:54.920 things you

00:57:55.440 could ever

00:57:55.740 learn about

00:57:56.280 how humans

00:57:57.140 are wired

00:57:57.720 is that

00:57:58.640 we're wired

00:57:59.200 bi-directionally,

00:58:01.360 that I

00:58:03.420 affect my

00:58:03.980 dog's

00:58:04.340 feelings,

00:58:04.860 but of

00:58:05.100 course she

00:58:05.420 affects

00:58:05.680 mine,

00:58:06.920 if you're

00:58:07.920 happy you

00:58:08.360 smile,

00:58:08.940 but if you

00:58:09.420 smile more

00:58:09.980 you become

00:58:10.440 happy,

00:58:11.220 if you're

00:58:12.060 successful

00:58:12.640 you feel

00:58:13.480 whole,

00:58:15.140 but if

00:58:16.280 you're

00:58:16.480 whole you

00:58:17.040 can make

00:58:17.700 yourself feel

00:58:18.200 successful,

00:58:19.020 like everything

00:58:19.460 works bi-directionally,

00:58:21.080 as soon as you

00:58:21.540 learn that

00:58:21.960 everything works

00:58:23.540 out better.

00:58:27.580 All right,

00:58:28.600 so what do you

00:58:29.400 think,

00:58:29.660 am I going to

00:58:30.080 get cancelled?

00:58:33.180 Cancelled?

00:58:37.400 See,

00:58:38.220 here's what's

00:58:38.900 interesting about

00:58:39.560 this situation,

00:58:40.300 anybody who

00:58:43.700 knows my

00:58:44.140 actual

00:58:44.620 opinion,

00:58:45.420 the full

00:58:46.240 opinion that

00:58:46.800 you're hearing

00:58:47.140 right now,

00:58:47.900 anybody who

00:58:48.480 hears my

00:58:48.780 actual opinion

00:58:49.560 doesn't want

00:58:50.140 to give

00:58:50.360 them more

00:58:50.640 attention,

00:58:51.500 so it's

00:58:52.840 going to be

00:58:53.340 sort of a

00:58:54.620 dicey

00:58:56.220 situation if

00:58:56.980 they cancel

00:58:57.440 me,

00:58:58.080 because you

00:58:58.400 don't want

00:58:58.820 to give

00:58:59.020 me more

00:58:59.360 attention,

00:59:00.540 that's not

00:59:01.520 going to

00:59:01.720 work for

00:59:02.100 whatever you're

00:59:03.640 trying to

00:59:04.060 achieve,

00:59:05.360 but I

00:59:05.920 like it.

00:59:06.400 Is it

00:59:10.140 hard for

00:59:10.520 you to

00:59:10.760 believe that

00:59:11.260 I woke

00:59:11.620 up in a

00:59:11.980 good mood

00:59:12.360 and I

00:59:12.600 thought,

00:59:12.860 well,

00:59:12.960 today's

00:59:13.240 going to

00:59:13.400 be fun?

00:59:18.880 Yeah,

00:59:19.520 poking the

00:59:19.960 bear.

00:59:20.880 So,

00:59:22.160 Hotep,

00:59:22.780 Jesus' 0.89

00:59:23.440 take is

00:59:26.620 that I'm

00:59:27.260 trolling.

00:59:29.560 What do

00:59:30.060 you think?

00:59:31.520 Yes or

00:59:32.080 no?

00:59:33.040 Is this a

00:59:33.660 giant troll?

00:59:36.400 I'm just

00:59:40.760 looking at

00:59:41.120 your answers.

00:59:41.920 I'm seeing

00:59:42.260 yeses and

00:59:42.840 noes,

00:59:43.360 more noes 0.94

00:59:44.180 on locals.

00:59:46.680 I'm seeing

00:59:47.400 both,

00:59:48.360 I'm seeing

00:59:48.760 yes.

00:59:50.800 Well,

00:59:51.880 let me ask

00:59:52.700 you this

00:59:53.060 question.

00:59:54.920 What's the

00:59:55.540 difference?

00:59:57.840 What's the

00:59:58.440 difference?

00:59:58.740 What's the

00:59:59.740 difference?

01:00:00.820 tell us

01:00:07.200 what

01:00:07.420 Sneed

01:00:07.880 is.

01:00:08.260 I don't

01:00:08.420 know what

01:00:08.640 that is.

01:00:12.920 Are you

01:00:13.480 ever not

01:00:13.960 trolling?

01:00:14.980 Well,

01:00:15.420 I'll tell

01:00:15.660 you the

01:00:15.940 way I

01:00:16.440 think of

01:00:17.360 it.

01:00:18.180 I think

01:00:18.840 of it

01:00:19.100 more as

01:00:19.540 being

01:00:19.800 provocative,

01:00:21.400 which draws

01:00:21.960 energy

01:00:23.320 toward the

01:00:24.440 point.

01:00:24.680 Now,

01:00:26.780 if you

01:00:26.940 want to

01:00:27.140 call that

01:00:27.460 trolling,

01:00:28.500 because it

01:00:29.340 gets people

01:00:29.840 all excited

01:00:30.880 and you

01:00:31.480 know they'll

01:00:31.800 take it

01:00:32.140 out of

01:00:32.380 context,

01:00:33.500 and you

01:00:33.700 know they'll

01:00:34.100 look stupid, 0.55

01:00:35.480 well,

01:00:35.760 yeah,

01:00:35.980 it's that

01:00:36.300 too.

01:00:37.400 It's

01:00:37.840 definitely

01:00:38.120 that too.

01:00:40.140 Did I

01:00:40.720 know that

01:00:41.160 it would

01:00:41.420 surface

01:00:41.820 people acting

01:00:43.240 racist and

01:00:44.020 stupid?

01:00:45.060 Of course

01:00:45.480 I did.

01:00:46.360 Did I

01:00:46.700 think that

01:00:47.060 would be

01:00:47.340 fun?

01:00:47.940 Yeah,

01:00:48.680 yeah,

01:00:48.960 I did.

01:00:49.660 I thought

01:00:50.000 that would

01:00:50.240 be fun.

01:00:50.580 You

01:00:56.180 grifted

01:00:56.740 after,

01:00:57.160 oh,

01:00:57.420 let me

01:00:57.700 finish my

01:00:58.120 point.

01:00:58.680 So,

01:00:58.980 about the

01:00:59.420 Rasmussen

01:00:59.880 poll.

01:01:01.080 First

01:01:01.600 of all,

01:01:03.020 Rasmussen

01:01:03.480 does have

01:01:04.080 a good

01:01:04.320 reputation.

01:01:06.060 You

01:01:06.440 should

01:01:06.620 research

01:01:06.980 that.

01:01:07.780 But I

01:01:08.180 think their

01:01:08.720 presidential

01:01:09.540 polls are

01:01:10.300 among the

01:01:11.020 top.

01:01:11.900 You know,

01:01:12.120 they're in

01:01:12.340 the top,

01:01:12.840 I don't

01:01:13.040 know,

01:01:13.840 top quarter

01:01:14.540 or so

01:01:14.960 of polling.

01:01:16.080 And I

01:01:16.720 don't think

01:01:17.160 that anybody

01:01:17.920 has had a

01:01:19.360 super big

01:01:19.860 problem with

01:01:20.420 their

01:01:20.580 methodology.

01:01:23.300 So,

01:01:23.860 I mean,

01:01:24.140 compared to

01:01:24.840 polling in

01:01:25.500 general.

01:01:25.940 Because all

01:01:26.340 the pollsters

01:01:26.860 are having

01:01:27.260 some trouble

01:01:27.720 getting people

01:01:28.280 to be

01:01:29.380 honest.

01:01:30.840 But here's

01:01:31.500 my take.

01:01:32.400 Suppose it

01:01:33.000 was off

01:01:33.440 by,

01:01:34.280 I don't

01:01:35.580 know,

01:01:35.680 100%.

01:01:36.400 It doesn't

01:01:38.180 matter if

01:01:38.540 it's off

01:01:38.840 by 100%.

01:01:39.520 My point

01:01:40.040 would be

01:01:40.260 the same.

01:01:40.800 If 25% 0.52

01:01:41.760 of the

01:01:42.060 group,

01:01:42.660 you know,

01:01:43.520 has a

01:01:43.840 bad feeling

01:01:44.340 about you,

01:01:44.920 I'd feel

01:01:45.420 uncomfortable

01:01:45.900 around that

01:01:46.560 group.

01:01:47.860 As you

01:01:48.580 should,

01:01:49.420 as any

01:01:50.020 normal

01:01:50.340 person

01:01:50.700 would.

01:01:51.500 So it

01:01:52.000 wouldn't

01:01:52.160 matter if

01:01:52.680 it's way

01:01:53.100 off.

01:01:54.240 It's so

01:01:55.020 striking that

01:01:57.140 it could be

01:01:57.680 half that

01:01:58.300 degree and

01:01:58.960 it would

01:01:59.120 still mean

01:01:59.500 the same

01:01:59.820 thing.

01:02:02.700 And even

01:02:03.460 if people

01:02:03.920 were answering

01:02:05.780 that, you

01:02:07.080 know, not

01:02:07.420 for themselves

01:02:08.000 that they

01:02:08.360 were answering

01:02:08.700 for the

01:02:09.060 system,

01:02:09.760 if the

01:02:10.460 system says

01:02:11.160 that,

01:02:11.540 it's still

01:02:12.760 kind of the

01:02:13.240 same.

01:02:19.200 Scott

01:02:19.640 Wilson fell

01:02:20.600 for the

01:02:21.020 4chan hoax

01:02:23.200 about me.

01:02:24.760 Did you

01:02:25.200 also fall

01:02:25.980 for my

01:02:26.960 husband

01:02:28.180 apology?

01:02:30.380 You got

01:02:31.000 double

01:02:31.320 hoaxed.

01:02:31.980 A lot

01:02:32.260 of people

01:02:32.500 got double

01:02:33.040 hoaxed on

01:02:33.660 that.

01:02:35.200 But they

01:02:35.760 don't know

01:02:36.100 it yet,

01:02:36.460 so it's

01:02:36.700 funny.

01:02:36.920 Lend you

01:02:40.540 a million.

01:02:41.220 You don't

01:02:41.500 have to say

01:02:41.900 that too

01:02:42.240 many times.

01:02:43.480 I think I'm

01:02:44.040 going to

01:02:44.120 make you

01:02:44.420 go away

01:02:44.900 because you're

01:02:45.440 just saying

01:02:45.760 the same

01:02:46.060 comment over

01:02:46.700 and over.

01:02:48.180 You are

01:02:48.700 now hidden

01:02:49.120 on this

01:02:49.520 channel for

01:02:51.440 being repetitive.

01:02:55.100 All right.

01:03:03.560 Scott,

01:03:04.180 don't hide

01:03:04.920 this comment.

01:03:06.920 I will

01:03:10.480 hide that

01:03:10.860 comment.

01:03:12.400 I'll hide

01:03:12.800 the whole

01:03:13.060 user.

01:03:16.400 Yes,

01:03:16.920 I am

01:03:17.200 mocking all

01:03:18.020 racists,

01:03:18.840 but I'm

01:03:19.380 also saying

01:03:19.880 that everybody

01:03:20.360 is one.

01:03:25.640 Where would

01:03:26.280 you go?

01:03:26.820 To the

01:03:27.120 mountains?

01:03:28.360 No.

01:03:30.280 No,

01:03:30.900 the idea

01:03:31.740 is not

01:03:32.720 to avoid

01:03:33.660 all

01:03:34.000 individuals.

01:03:34.600 individuals.

01:03:36.480 So I

01:03:37.280 think some

01:03:37.720 people also

01:03:38.460 assumed that

01:03:40.080 I meant

01:03:40.500 avoid all

01:03:41.340 individuals.

01:03:42.880 No.

01:03:43.660 No,

01:03:44.000 I would

01:03:44.200 never say

01:03:44.560 that.

01:03:45.600 All

01:03:45.900 individuals

01:03:46.380 should be

01:03:46.840 treated as

01:03:47.440 fully

01:03:47.980 respected

01:03:48.580 humans

01:03:49.740 with no

01:03:51.240 exceptions.

01:03:53.580 So of

01:03:54.260 course I'm

01:03:54.840 going to be

01:03:55.320 just the

01:03:56.260 same as I

01:03:56.720 am in

01:03:57.140 person to

01:03:57.700 everybody.

01:03:58.560 Like,

01:03:58.880 that doesn't

01:03:59.260 change.

01:04:09.860 The

01:04:10.220 difference

01:04:10.540 between

01:04:10.880 racist and

01:04:11.600 biased,

01:04:12.080 I don't

01:04:12.320 know.

01:04:12.640 I don't

01:04:12.860 know if

01:04:13.080 that's a

01:04:13.620 useful

01:04:14.540 distinction

01:04:15.060 or not.

01:04:15.880 Is it?

01:04:17.860 Book update?

01:04:18.860 Oh,

01:04:19.020 I've got to

01:04:19.380 do some

01:04:19.700 more edits

01:04:20.120 in the next

01:04:20.500 couple weeks

01:04:21.060 and then

01:04:21.860 most of

01:04:23.600 my work

01:04:23.940 will be

01:04:24.180 done for

01:04:24.580 my book.

01:04:27.620 All

01:04:28.060 right.

01:04:33.000 Yeah,

01:04:33.580 I didn't

01:04:33.880 get a

01:04:34.120 blizzard in

01:04:35.040 Northern

01:04:35.300 California.

01:04:36.080 It's just

01:04:36.300 raining.

01:04:38.920 All

01:04:39.320 right,

01:04:39.460 well,

01:04:39.660 I was

01:04:39.920 really

01:04:40.140 expecting a

01:04:40.780 lot more

01:04:41.280 action this

01:04:42.960 morning.

01:04:44.380 But it

01:04:44.980 turns out

01:04:45.400 that when I

01:04:45.860 tell you my

01:04:46.320 actual opinion,

01:04:47.200 nobody has a

01:04:47.680 problem with

01:04:48.200 it.

01:04:49.400 Let me

01:04:49.900 ask,

01:04:50.180 does anybody

01:04:50.900 have a

01:04:51.280 problem with

01:04:51.820 my actual

01:04:52.480 opinion as

01:04:53.880 it was

01:04:54.280 described this

01:04:55.060 morning?

01:04:56.460 Anybody?

01:05:00.060 No.

01:05:02.060 But you

01:05:03.140 realize there's

01:05:03.620 going to be a

01:05:04.040 whole other

01:05:05.100 world that

01:05:06.360 didn't hear the

01:05:07.020 full context.

01:05:08.700 And everybody

01:05:09.100 who didn't

01:05:09.520 hear the full

01:05:10.380 context will

01:05:11.660 use me as

01:05:12.580 a political

01:05:13.180 football.

01:05:14.980 So,

01:05:16.000 now,

01:05:16.460 how much of

01:05:17.140 this do you

01:05:17.560 think is just

01:05:18.260 trying to

01:05:18.620 cancel me for

01:05:19.320 being a

01:05:19.940 presumed

01:05:21.900 Trump supporter?

01:05:24.460 How much

01:05:24.820 do you think

01:05:25.480 that the

01:05:25.820 Daily Beast

01:05:26.480 would have

01:05:27.520 run the

01:05:27.840 article about

01:05:28.720 me except

01:05:29.460 that it

01:05:29.880 hurts Trump?

01:05:32.440 I think it's

01:05:33.200 just the way

01:05:33.520 they hurt

01:05:33.740 Trump.

01:05:35.800 I think

01:05:36.040 that's their

01:05:36.420 price.

01:05:36.700 And getting

01:05:37.060 clicks,

01:05:37.620 that's about

01:05:38.000 all they

01:05:38.240 care about.

01:05:39.540 Anyway,

01:05:40.160 but if you

01:05:40.560 see something

01:05:41.000 in the

01:05:41.320 Daily Beast

01:05:41.940 that looks

01:05:42.940 like,

01:05:43.460 my God,

01:05:44.460 how could

01:05:44.920 anybody have

01:05:45.440 that opinion?

01:05:46.080 It's probably

01:05:46.480 because they

01:05:47.000 don't,

01:05:47.960 or you

01:05:48.240 haven't heard

01:05:48.540 of the

01:05:48.700 context.

01:05:50.980 You're going

01:05:51.560 back on your

01:05:52.160 word about

01:05:52.640 Trump?

01:05:53.460 No,

01:05:53.720 I'm not.

01:05:55.060 No,

01:05:55.360 I've always

01:05:55.740 said that

01:05:56.300 all of my

01:05:57.840 endorsements

01:05:58.440 for this

01:05:59.120 time around,

01:06:00.680 any endorsement

01:06:01.580 I make is

01:06:02.080 going to be

01:06:02.320 on one

01:06:02.740 topic,

01:06:03.700 and then I'll

01:06:04.320 change it in

01:06:04.960 a heartbeat

01:06:05.320 to the next

01:06:07.140 person who has

01:06:07.680 a better take

01:06:08.180 on it.

01:06:08.520 So Vivek's

01:06:10.000 current endorsement

01:06:11.660 is temporary.

01:06:12.920 If somebody

01:06:13.580 has a stronger

01:06:14.220 take,

01:06:14.800 or even

01:06:15.220 just a

01:06:15.540 better take,

01:06:16.900 then I

01:06:17.300 will switch

01:06:18.040 my allegiance

01:06:19.380 immediately.

01:06:20.260 I don't have

01:06:20.720 any allegiance

01:06:21.320 this time.

01:06:22.480 I'm a single

01:06:23.080 topic voter.

01:06:26.940 All right.

01:06:29.560 So I guess

01:06:30.280 that's it for

01:06:30.760 this,

01:06:31.120 and I will

01:06:31.780 go do some

01:06:32.420 other stuff.

01:06:32.920 I'm going

01:06:33.080 to talk to

01:06:33.480 the locals

01:06:34.060 people separately.

01:06:35.400 Thanks for

01:06:35.880 joining YouTube.

01:06:36.840 I know you

01:06:39.700 wanted more

01:06:40.180 of a fight

01:06:40.660 on this,

01:06:41.200 but bye

01:06:43.740 for now.
