Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2030 Scott Adams： Welcome To The Third Act. Don't Try This At Home

00:00:00.040 To the finest thing that's ever happened to you. It's the highlight of civilization. It's called

00:00:04.600 Coffee with Scott Adams. If you're here because you think I might cause some trouble,

00:00:10.860 well, maybe. Maybe. Well, we'll get to all of that, but if you'd like your experience to be

00:00:19.540 the kind of thing that your grandkids will hear about, all you need to take this event up to

00:00:27.480 levels never before heard of. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice

00:00:32.820 or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:39.900 I like coffee. I like my coffee black. Stop it. I like my coffee black. Stop it. Sip.

00:00:50.900 Ah, that's so good. So good. What the hell was that? Something loud just fell over.

00:01:08.340 All right, well, I didn't have time to check the news today. Let's see if anything's trending

00:01:12.140 on Twitter. Wait, it's me. We'll get to that. We'll get to that, but you're going to have

00:01:31.560 to wait for it. I know there's a story you probably want to hear about today, maybe a

00:01:37.200 little bit, but let's talk about some other stuff first. Number one, there's a new study

00:01:44.960 Fox News is reporting a growing body of evidence suggesting that cannabis is not entirely without

00:01:52.660 harm. And there's a suggestion Stanford University, a physician says the study, which has not been

00:02:00.740 published, will be presented Sunday, I guess. And it shows that there might be some cardiovascular

00:02:07.640 disease associated with heavy use of marijuana. Now, let's take you through the analysis cone.

00:02:18.740 Number one, marijuana is either good for people or bad for people, right? It can't be both. Well,

00:02:26.400 it actually could be both. But if you're talking about whether it causes you potentially greater

00:02:32.220 disease, that's either a yes or no. Now, separately, you could say it helps you with other various

00:02:39.100 things, but those are usually comfort-related, not survival. But in terms of survival and in

00:02:47.780 terms of the cardio, the study says that there could be cardiovascular implications. All right,

00:02:54.040 so before there was a study, what did you know? Let's say it was the only study that had ever

00:03:01.520 happened. What would you know? Well, nothing. It'd be sort of a coin flip. If somebody said,

00:03:07.400 hey, does it hurt you or help you? Or hurt you or not hurt you? It's sort of binary, right? It

00:03:12.660 either hurts or it doesn't. 50-50, coin flip. If you didn't know anything, you had no information

00:03:18.640 whatsoever. 50-50. So now there's a study, probably peer-reviewed. And what does that

00:03:28.760 change the odds to? So the study says it could be dangerous. So the odds were 50-50 when you didn't

00:03:35.980 know anything. You're just flipping a coin because you got... But now you have a study. What are the odds

00:03:40.460 now? Still 50-50? Because half of all studies are wrong. They point in the wrong direction. Half.

00:03:49.640 So there's actually no... This is no information. Now it's the beginning of something that could be

00:03:55.560 information if lots of other studies confirmed it. And if every way you looked at it and every way

00:04:01.600 you studied it gave you the same answer, or even if most of them did, well, then you'd know something.

00:04:07.520 But when you get like a new, bold, brand new study, it's 50-50. You didn't learn anything,

00:04:15.100 actually. So just keep that in mind. Big news that probably should have been bigger news.

00:04:22.520 AOC seems to be quite solidly pro-nuclear now. Did you know that? So I guess she visited some

00:04:30.620 nuclear site and she was talking positively about how well they can control radiation. And also

00:04:38.360 specifically positively about how France uses its nuclear waste as fuel for its reactors. And other

00:04:47.740 countries don't. And she's saying that's a good way to handle it. That's a pretty big deal.

00:04:53.540 If you can get AOC to say, you know, nuclear is just unambiguously a good idea. And I think

00:05:02.700 she's there. That's got to make a huge difference. Because that would be one of the few things that

00:05:07.600 the right and left could completely agree on. Completely. So it looks like unity is breaking

00:05:14.940 out. Does it feel like that to you? Maybe not everywhere. Well, Fox News reports that the

00:05:24.960 University of North Carolina is moved against what they call the encroaching woke culture.

00:05:32.900 And I guess the university is voting to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion, the DEI

00:05:38.280 statements and politically preferential hiring. So they're working against racism. But that will

00:05:47.960 be called being racist. Do you know that whenever you try to reduce racism, there's a name that

00:05:55.400 you will be called? What is it? What happens when you try to reduce racism? A racist, yeah. A racist

00:06:03.120 is a person who tries to reduce racism or a person who has racism, who is one. It's a word that works

00:06:10.720 for both. Sort of like bi-monthly. You know, could be twice a month or, yeah, well, anyway. And I like

00:06:22.260 this phrase that they use. I don't, maybe you've heard this phrase before, compelled speech. So I guess

00:06:29.340 they're calling DEI and things that go with it, a form of compelled speech, meaning that whether you

00:06:36.300 believe it or not, you're going to have to talk this way. Which is an interesting way to put it.

00:06:43.300 Because they don't talk about DEI changing your mind, which would be a different argument, wouldn't it?

00:06:51.080 You know, we're going to do this training to change your mind. I don't think anybody believes,

00:06:56.020 yeah, that's probably Jordan Peterson's take, you're right. I don't think anybody believes that

00:07:00.800 DEI changes anybody's mind. There's sort of a tacit appreciation that it's only changing the way

00:07:09.980 you speak so you won't get fired and it canceled. Am I wrong about that? That all of the DEI and CRT

00:07:17.740 stuff is only forcing you to talk about it like you believe it. It's not really changing anybody's

00:07:23.080 mind. Have you ever met anybody who changed their mind about anything? It's like nobody ever changes

00:07:30.820 their mind, especially on stuff like that. I would agree. So here's where the black community and I

00:07:38.540 are in complete agreement. All of the bad stuff in the past has to be fully reported. You can't hide

00:07:47.920 anything. So certainly you want a complete and useful education about all things discrimination

00:07:54.640 in the past. From slavery on to systemic racism. So I think we'd all agree on that. But it's interesting

00:08:03.420 that we can't keep it with let's all be educated. It has to change to let's all talk this way.

00:08:09.800 You have to talk a certain way. All right. Compelled speech. Do you know anybody in the news who's

00:08:17.440 trending today who is the victim of forces who are trying to compel his speech?

00:08:27.600 Just looking at my messages. Jesus, get a lot of text today.

00:08:31.500 All right. China is rumored to be thinking about sending deadly weapons to Russia for the Ukrainian

00:08:45.640 invasion. Now, here's my take on this. Do you think China is a stupid country full of stupid

00:08:53.540 people? Does anybody think that? Or do you think China? Somebody said, yes, you racist. No,

00:09:00.640 you don't believe that. Now, or do you think that China is a smart country who understands their 0.99

00:09:06.520 self-interest and is pursuing it quite aggressively? I would say China is a smart country full of smart

00:09:15.500 leaders who have their own interests, you know, at the top of their list. And I can't really complain

00:09:22.160 about that. Can't really complain about that. It's just that you have to, you know, be awake and know

00:09:30.040 what to do about it. Can't complain about it, though. Everybody gets to pursue their self-interest.

00:09:36.580 But here's my take on it. I think China is not stupid, the leadership specifically, and therefore

00:09:44.440 they would be crazy to give deadly weapons to Russia. Because I think they totally understand 0.93

00:09:52.660 that's a red line. That whatever economic blowback they're getting now, the U.S. would

00:09:59.720 very quickly increase that to levels that they don't want to deal with. Very quickly. So what

00:10:07.020 is China's best play? Because they want to be allies to Russia, because they have to live 0.94

00:10:12.800 next to them, and they trade a lot. But they can't really make the U.S. mad in that specific

00:10:18.540 way. Like they can make us mad a hundred different ways. But not that specific way. That specific

00:10:25.000 way is going to be too far. There's only one thing that could happen here, in my opinion.

00:10:32.440 China will yank Putin around and tell him that any day now they're going to be sending him

00:10:38.100 weapons, or they've got a committee looking into it, or they've said yes, but they need to collect

00:10:44.280 the weapons. It's going to take a long time. Or we've got a bunch of weapons to send you,

00:10:48.660 but oops, they're accidentally, they need maintenance. We better need a little more time.

00:10:53.440 I don't believe that they're going to send him any weapons. I believe that they're going

00:10:57.520 to pretend they are, which is probably what our intel is picking up. And in the end, they're

00:11:04.540 just going to try to stall and hope it gets negotiated before anybody needs any extra weapons.

00:11:09.760 Wouldn't it be, it would be stupid for China to actually send the weapons. But it would 0.62

00:11:16.940 be just as stupid to tell Putin, absolutely no, I'm not sending you weapons. Nope, not going

00:11:23.460 to do it. Right? The only smart way to play this is to sort of, you know, pull Putin along.

00:11:31.360 Then maybe, there may be some little gray area here where you say, all right, we'll give you

00:11:37.400 some non-weaponized drones for surveillance, you know, which they would immediately weaponize

00:11:44.080 as soon as they got them. And then China will say, we didn't give them any weapons. We just

00:11:49.540 gave them our drones. Drones with no weapons. Surveillance. Probably for crop, you know, maintenance.

00:11:56.260 Something like that. It's not our fault. Those Russians, who saw it coming? They put weapons 1.00

00:12:02.240 on our drones. So it could be something like that. But I don't think, I don't think China

00:12:07.000 is going to be shipping artillery and, you know, large caches of weapons to Russia. I

00:12:12.860 don't think so. What do you think? Do you think China is just going to go, yeah, let's sell

00:12:18.520 you or give you, sell you or give you a bunch of weapons? Do you think that's going to happen?

00:12:23.040 That seems like the least likely thing that could ever happen. But remember, remember

00:12:29.400 the one that I got wrong on this. I said that Putin would never, well, not never, but I said

00:12:38.140 he would not invade Ukraine because it was a stupid play and he wasn't stupid. And then

00:12:46.180 he invaded. And it was a stupid play. I didn't think he was that stupid. To me, it looked like

00:12:53.940 a suicide play for Russia. But he was. He was. Now, of course, he was probably operating

00:13:00.940 on completely different information because I had none except common sense. And, you know,

00:13:07.900 he had lots of information. But his information was probably all lies from his own generals.

00:13:12.120 Oh, yeah, we're ready to go. Give us three days, we'll take Ukraine. No problem. So apparently

00:13:17.620 I had better information than he did because I had no information except, you know, an understanding

00:13:23.720 of the world. And what he had was all of his generals lying to him because if they didn't

00:13:28.580 lie, they would be immediately, you know, executed or something. 4chan's going crazy, somebody

00:13:37.680 says. I wonder why. All right. So that's what I think is happening.

00:13:45.280 What else is happening? Yeah, so China has recommended an outline for a peace plan.

00:13:56.180 Listen to this non-helpful suggestion. So this is China trying to be helpful with the Ukraine-Russia

00:14:04.220 sort of thing. They've recommended that it be ended by negotiation. Oh, now that's something

00:14:14.440 that nobody had thought about before. You know, a lot of people were thinking, how could

00:14:18.980 we end the war without winning it? What would be any other way you could end a war? Let's

00:14:26.720 see, there's winning. There's losing. There's a third way. I know there's a third way. It's

00:14:35.440 on the tip of my tongue. What is China saying? China? That's it. That's what I was trying

00:14:40.720 to think of, negotiating. And China, helpfully, reminded us that that's one way to end a war

00:14:47.280 without killing each other. Didn't see it coming. Yeah, it's China's free money. China gets to 0.67

00:14:53.800 be anti-war while risking nothing. It's just perfect. I don't even think China wants the

00:15:01.260 war to end. Do you? Do you think China cares? It seems like they have more access to Russian 0.60

00:15:09.300 energy. And their adversaries are being degraded. Why would they want to end it? Really, why

00:15:22.700 would they? Yeah, depleting US arms, getting us all worn out in case they make a move on

00:15:29.480 Taiwan. It wouldn't really make any sense to help Russia. All right. Today, at 2 o'clock 0.55

00:15:43.720 my time, 5 o'clock Eastern time, I'm going to be talking to Hotep Jesus on his podcast. And

00:15:50.840 I will answer all of your questions about my recent provocative comments. Now, there are

00:16:00.840 some updates. We're entering the third act. If you don't know how a movie is set out, then

00:16:10.060 you don't understand what you're watching here. In the first act, there's something that changes

00:16:16.000 the life, let's say, path of whoever's the protagonist in the movie. So often in a movie,

00:16:23.480 somebody will die or there'll be some tragic event. And it sets a person off on a course

00:16:30.180 for something else. Now, in this case, I made my controversial comments. And that would be

00:16:36.100 the first act where everybody's like, whoa, whoa, what's happening here? The second act of

00:16:42.000 a movie, if I can borrow some language from Save the Cat, it's one of the most famous script-writing

00:16:49.480 books, is the fun and games scene. So the second act of a movie is where you have a bunch of

00:16:57.480 scenes which, you know, collectively they fit together, but they're just a bunch of fun

00:17:02.480 scenes. Like it might be fight scenes that are fun to watch if it's a fight movie, or it might

00:17:08.440 be some car chases, or basically it's just a bunch of fun things to watch. So each of

00:17:14.140 these scenes can stand alone, but collectively they, you know, they tell a story of something.

00:17:21.520 Yeah, the 5 p.m. is Eastern time for the Hotel Jesus talk today. All right. So then the third,

00:17:30.660 the third act, which I've told you before, is where the protagonist of the movie is in an

00:17:36.240 impossible situation and could not possibly get out. That's today. That's today. So the fun and

00:17:43.980 games was the last few days where there was lots of back and forth and stuff on social media. Today,

00:17:50.060 right on schedule, and you might say to yourself, Scott, did you anticipate this happening?

00:17:56.460 I wrote the movie. I wrote the movie. Of course I anticipated it. Yeah. Today's the day I'm supposed

00:18:04.100 to get canceled by newspapers. So USA Today has already announced they've canceled. The Cleveland

00:18:11.280 Plain Dealer has canceled, and apparently there's a number of other newspapers that have canceled.

00:18:17.060 Now, I assume this is the beginning, and probably because it's the weekend, you're not seeing the

00:18:23.240 major move. By Monday, I should be mostly canceled, or maybe a third or half or something like that.

00:18:30.580 So most of my income will be gone by next week, right? Now, that's a third act. That's like,

00:18:39.780 you cannot, not only that, but the income is actually the least important part. The important

00:18:44.920 part is that my reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed. You can't come back from this.

00:18:53.240 Am I right? There's no way you can get out of this. So that's what makes it a third act.

00:19:01.440 That's why you watch. You watch because there's no way to escape. Is there? Well, let's talk about

00:19:11.440 what's going on. Because the simulation is just a gift one after another, my cancellation happened

00:19:22.620 by complete chance. And I had no idea this was happening. By complete coincidence,

00:19:28.580 it's happening on the day of hate.

00:19:34.320 Apparently, some neo-Nazis are marching, and today they've designated the day of hate.

00:19:39.300 Now, do you think this movie could have been written any more perfectly? To correspond to what I did,

00:19:49.100 which was the opposite of racism, but also racism. It was the opposite, but it was also racism,

00:19:56.400 as the opposite always is. The opposite of racism is racism. I'll talk about that in a minute.

00:20:02.200 But it's like the perfect storm of the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is that that

00:20:10.560 story literally was trending on Twitter. My name was like right above day of hate.

00:20:16.940 That's like the perfect third act. Because it's like everything bad happening exactly the same

00:20:25.840 time. When I saw that, I was just laughing. I was like, oh, well, that's perfect. Like,

00:20:30.600 I thought I wrote this movie, you know, to hit all the notes, but it turns out that that one was

00:20:36.680 accidental, but it was just like hit perfectly. It's like, oh, everybody's going to think I'm part

00:20:40.800 of that. So watch for that. Let's see. So the, yeah, the Cleveland Plain Dealer canceled me. And so,

00:20:53.820 you know, I like to think of this as a learning experience for all of us, not just for you.

00:21:00.060 I feel that I'm here to learn as well. And when the Cleveland Plain Dealer canceled Dildert,

00:21:06.580 I guess that happened yesterday, I learned something. And I learned something that I did

00:21:12.700 not know. And it's probably going to be important to me for the rest of my life.

00:21:17.660 And what I learned from this is Cleveland had a newspaper. Did you know Cleveland had a newspaper?

00:21:26.900 I guess I did. So that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

00:21:31.840 Now, one of the questions I asked on Twitter was, if a young person asked you for career advice,

00:21:39.200 would you recommend moving to Cleveland? Would you recommend moving to Cleveland?

00:21:47.200 Surprisingly, 90% said no. It seems like such a nice place. I don't know why you wouldn't move there.

00:21:54.400 Yeah. Yeah. And especially if you're a non-racist, it's 53% black. I checked. So if you were a non-racist,

00:22:04.500 that would be exactly where to go. That'd be like one of the best places. So Cleveland has rejected me.

00:22:13.160 But I'm probably going to, you know, change my advice because I've learned so much from this.

00:22:20.140 If somebody asks me for advice, I'm going to say, move to Cleveland because they've got it going on.

00:22:25.960 Right. Let me clarify what I was intending to say. You'll see if this sounds like what you heard.

00:22:40.040 So here's something I say all the time, including, including lately and today.

00:22:45.080 I can abide by no discrimination against individuals.

00:22:51.660 Does anybody disagree with that?

00:22:54.340 Is there anybody who would say, no, you should discriminate against individuals?

00:23:01.200 Anybody?

00:23:02.660 Is there anybody in the world, like I've never even met anybody who thinks you should discriminate against individuals?

00:23:09.460 Oh, somebody says they do. You're a troll.

00:23:11.500 So some people are saying, yes, discriminate against individuals.

00:23:16.580 No, you don't mean that. I know you don't mean that.

00:23:21.220 All right.

00:23:24.120 So does anybody believe that I don't mean that?

00:23:27.760 Is there somebody here who believes that I don't mean it when I say you should not discriminate in any regard,

00:23:34.640 not personally, not professionally, no exceptions?

00:23:38.420 Does anybody not believe me?

00:23:41.500 Now, from a constitutional and a legal perspective in the United States,

00:23:50.700 should you discriminate against anybody for race or religion or ethnicity?

00:23:57.000 I guess that's the same thing, sort of, almost.

00:24:00.580 Should it? No, no.

00:24:02.300 So does anybody think that I oppose the Constitution?

00:24:06.520 Does anybody watch me for a while and say,

00:24:08.280 that guy does not believe the Constitution?

00:24:11.140 I think he really secretly believes that we should discriminate against people in a legal, legal sense?

00:24:17.860 No, of course not.

00:24:19.560 Do you think that I said you should shun your neighbor if you're white and your neighbor is black? 0.99

00:24:26.320 Does that sound like something I would say?

00:24:28.300 Shun your neighbor because they're black. 1.00

00:24:30.120 Nobody would say that.

00:24:33.700 Literally nobody.

00:24:35.620 So if you believed you heard that,

00:24:38.680 do you think maybe there was some context you were missing?

00:24:42.100 Perhaps.

00:24:43.500 All right, let me ask you this question.

00:24:44.620 If you were a black family or even if not and you lived in a home and suddenly a bunch of neo-Nazis bought all the homes right around you,

00:24:59.960 so you found yourself accidentally living in a neo-Nazi clan neighborhood and you're not with them,

00:25:08.700 would you stay or would you go?

00:25:10.900 Would you move or would you stay?

00:25:12.220 Try to work with them, make it work out.

00:25:16.020 You'd go.

00:25:17.460 You'd go.

00:25:18.940 Interesting.

00:25:20.560 So would you agree in general with the notion,

00:25:25.000 and this was my other major point,

00:25:28.120 that if there's a group of people who, on average,

00:25:35.140 not individually, but on average,

00:25:37.560 have a racist opinion about you or a negative opinion about you,

00:25:43.600 would you recommend to somebody stay in that situation if they had the option of moving?

00:25:49.860 What would you recommend?

00:25:51.440 Stay around neo-Nazis or to make some distance, get away from there.

00:25:57.760 You would leave.

00:25:59.300 Well, that's pretty racist.

00:26:01.660 Pretty racist.

00:26:02.700 All right, so here's the question.

00:26:09.720 You know, my comments were in the context, of course, gets removed.

00:26:13.200 The way most hoaxes are created is the same way.

00:26:17.040 The fine people hoax in Charlottesville was created by taking the middle of the statement,

00:26:22.480 but lopping off the beginning and the end.

00:26:25.660 The drinking bleach hoax was created by showing the middle of the video,

00:26:31.280 but lopping off the end and the beginning.

00:26:33.580 The Covington Kids hoax video was created by showing the middle,

00:26:39.740 but lopping off the end and the beginning.

00:26:42.640 The Scott Adams video that got me canceled, same way.

00:26:47.560 You just remove the context.

00:26:48.760 The context was that nobody, white or black, should hang around with people who, on average, 0.95

00:26:57.520 if we're talking about a group, not individuals,

00:27:00.900 but on average, you should avoid situations where you're disliked.

00:27:07.080 Does anybody think that you should play it the other way?

00:27:10.280 Does anybody think that good, let's say, life or career strategy

00:27:13.840 would involve going where you have the least chance of success

00:27:17.740 because people dislike you?

00:27:20.280 Is that good career advice?

00:27:21.840 So I think here's the frame that people were missing.

00:27:26.600 On an individual level,

00:27:29.360 you should absolutely be nice to your neighbor,

00:27:33.640 unless they're neo-Nazis, of course.

00:27:35.680 But, you know, if you've got a black neighbor 1.00

00:27:38.360 or a black family member,

00:27:41.660 you know, increasingly there's more of that.

00:27:43.800 If you have a black family member, 0.98

00:27:45.680 do you think I'm saying you should avoid them?

00:27:48.660 Does anybody interpret it that way?

00:27:50.920 Does anybody think that you should shun your co-workers?

00:27:55.060 Like, who would interpret it that way?

00:27:56.820 No, I'm saying that if you know a population,

00:28:01.260 an identifiable population,

00:28:02.900 has a high level of disregard for you,

00:28:06.860 you should stay away.

00:28:08.820 Now, suppose you think it's true,

00:28:10.840 but you're not sure.

00:28:13.360 How would you play that?

00:28:15.500 You think it's true,

00:28:17.080 maybe because you're racist.

00:28:18.600 You think it's true,

00:28:19.820 but you don't know.

00:28:22.620 How would you play it?

00:28:23.720 Somebody says A-B test.

00:28:27.440 I'm not sure you could do that too easily

00:28:29.100 because it would involve moving.

00:28:32.040 Now, here's the thing

00:28:33.520 that everybody's missing in the story.

00:28:37.100 And when you hear it,

00:28:38.560 you're going to go,

00:28:39.760 oh, you ready?

00:28:43.340 The country isn't ready for this.

00:28:46.340 This is going to fuck up your heads a little bit.

00:28:49.200 When it comes to the Constitution,

00:28:51.940 there's no wiggle room.

00:28:54.320 Everybody has to be treated as an individual.

00:28:56.860 Cannot discriminate legally 0.99

00:28:58.720 based on any kind of legal, constitutional stuff.

00:29:03.540 Justice system has to be as fair as it could be.

00:29:08.260 Individual decisions,

00:29:10.660 who you hire,

00:29:11.840 who you sleep with,

00:29:13.120 who you marry,

00:29:13.920 who you associate with,

00:29:15.340 all needs to be on individual basis.

00:29:17.920 No exceptions.

00:29:18.920 But,

00:29:19.920 there's one category that we don't speak about.

00:29:27.680 Career advice.

00:29:30.940 Can you do something for your own personal career

00:29:34.580 that's racist?

00:29:36.840 Yes.

00:29:40.740 Completely legal

00:29:41.620 and completely ethical.

00:29:44.680 Completely.

00:29:45.940 Let me give you an example.

00:29:47.000 If you were a young black person

00:29:50.940 and you wanted to take advantage of

00:29:54.500 your racial advantage,

00:29:57.920 which would be Fortune 500 companies in particular,

00:30:02.340 they have diversity objectives

00:30:05.200 and they would love to hire you.

00:30:08.960 So,

00:30:09.660 would it be a good career decision

00:30:12.820 to use your race

00:30:15.300 to your advantage

00:30:16.740 if you were black

00:30:17.760 and you knew that companies

00:30:19.340 were looking for you,

00:30:20.380 they really wanted to put you

00:30:21.880 at the top of the list?

00:30:22.720 I think it would.

00:30:26.300 I,

00:30:27.380 in fact,

00:30:28.120 this is the exact advice

00:30:29.680 I give to all black young people.

00:30:33.080 I say,

00:30:33.860 look for the place

00:30:34.900 where you have an advantage.

00:30:37.380 Right?

00:30:38.080 Don't stay where you have a disadvantage.

00:30:40.840 Where would be the worst place

00:30:42.480 for a,

00:30:44.080 let's say,

00:30:44.640 a young black person

00:30:46.620 who wanted to,

00:30:48.620 you know,

00:30:48.920 succeed,

00:30:49.580 really had ambition,

00:30:50.520 where would be the worst place

00:30:52.920 for them to live?

00:30:55.520 What,

00:30:55.980 what would you say?

00:30:57.440 Where the worst place

00:30:58.400 for them to go get a job?

00:31:01.640 Cleveland.

00:31:03.000 Cleveland.

00:31:04.440 Cleveland would be

00:31:05.280 the worst place to go.

00:31:08.200 Right?

00:31:09.120 I would go somewhere

00:31:10.260 where I had an advantage.

00:31:11.580 If you go to Cleveland,

00:31:12.600 it's 53% black.

00:31:15.060 If you're competing

00:31:16.060 against a large pool

00:31:18.860 of other black candidates,

00:31:20.520 then whatever advantage

00:31:22.600 you got,

00:31:24.020 because Fortune 500 companies

00:31:25.820 are looking for you,

00:31:27.000 you would be in a larger

00:31:28.080 pool of candidates.

00:31:30.600 So,

00:31:31.160 should you go

00:31:31.780 where you're special

00:31:32.880 and you'll stand out

00:31:34.720 as being special,

00:31:35.920 or should you stay

00:31:37.000 where you're competing

00:31:37.780 with people

00:31:38.300 who are a lot like you?

00:31:40.640 It has nothing to do

00:31:41.640 with white or black.

00:31:42.920 You should always go

00:31:44.020 where you have

00:31:45.000 a career advantage.

00:31:45.900 So,

00:31:47.720 that might,

00:31:48.420 that would require

00:31:49.320 this hypothetical

00:31:50.640 black person

00:31:51.400 to make a racist

00:31:52.400 personal decision,

00:31:54.520 which I would

00:31:55.500 totally back.

00:31:58.420 Right?

00:31:58.820 If you're making decisions

00:32:00.060 for your own

00:32:00.940 personal,

00:32:01.920 you know,

00:32:02.660 life,

00:32:03.700 it can be as racist

00:32:04.580 as you want.

00:32:06.260 That's not illegal,

00:32:07.800 and it's definitely

00:32:08.620 not unethical.

00:32:10.140 Right?

00:32:11.240 Suppose you believed

00:32:12.860 that your company

00:32:15.160 or school

00:32:15.940 should have more

00:32:17.000 CRT classes

00:32:19.420 or DEI

00:32:20.540 or something like that.

00:32:22.340 Would that be racist?

00:32:25.140 Yeah,

00:32:25.520 of course.

00:32:26.440 By definition.

00:32:27.560 But would it be

00:32:28.260 bad racism?

00:32:30.560 See,

00:32:30.820 racism is whenever

00:32:32.160 you're treating

00:32:32.920 any group

00:32:33.660 like they have

00:32:34.840 something in common,

00:32:36.080 which is what

00:32:36.680 the DEI

00:32:37.620 and CRT stuff does.

00:32:38.840 So,

00:32:42.280 anytime you're

00:32:43.320 introducing

00:32:44.200 almost any change

00:32:45.600 into society,

00:32:47.260 it's a racist change.

00:32:49.220 If you,

00:32:49.780 if you change

00:32:50.400 the tax code

00:32:51.240 in any direction,

00:32:53.280 you know that's racist,

00:32:54.380 right?

00:32:55.100 Like,

00:32:55.400 actually,

00:32:55.920 not,

00:32:56.160 not jokingly,

00:32:57.020 it's actually racist.

00:32:58.140 Because any way

00:32:58.820 you change the tax code

00:32:59.900 is either going to

00:33:00.800 benefit people

00:33:02.100 at the low end,

00:33:03.380 which disproportionately,

00:33:05.060 you know,

00:33:05.560 affects black people, 0.86

00:33:07.020 or disproportionately

00:33:08.320 the high end.

00:33:10.020 There's almost no change

00:33:11.420 you can make

00:33:11.980 in the world

00:33:12.740 that doesn't have

00:33:13.960 a racial or racist

00:33:15.640 overtone.

00:33:17.080 So,

00:33:17.700 I would say this

00:33:18.280 for sure.

00:33:19.020 Whether you're black

00:33:19.840 or white,

00:33:20.940 when you're managing

00:33:21.840 your own career,

00:33:23.800 you should be as racist

00:33:25.020 as you need to be

00:33:26.500 to get the advantage.

00:33:28.300 So,

00:33:28.840 I tell everybody

00:33:29.360 to seek their advantage.

00:33:31.160 If you're,

00:33:31.680 if you're,

00:33:32.320 let me put it this way.

00:33:34.760 If you're a man,

00:33:37.580 should you go work

00:33:38.820 for a company

00:33:40.420 that's mostly women? 1.00

00:33:42.040 Let's say,

00:33:43.280 I don't know

00:33:43.840 if this is true,

00:33:44.500 but let's say

00:33:44.900 the Avon company.

00:33:47.040 Let's say they've got

00:33:47.720 a lot of women 1.00

00:33:48.320 in high executive roles.

00:33:50.280 I think they do.

00:33:52.160 If you're a man,

00:33:53.680 would it be a good

00:33:54.600 individual strategy

00:33:55.820 to go work

00:33:57.320 for a company

00:33:58.260 that is very

00:33:59.040 female-centric?

00:34:00.460 No.

00:34:04.320 No,

00:34:04.860 that would be crazy.

00:34:06.600 That would be

00:34:07.040 pretty crazy.

00:34:08.440 Now,

00:34:09.000 reverse it.

00:34:10.240 Suppose you're a woman

00:34:11.260 and you want to go work

00:34:13.260 in a male-dominated industry.

00:34:16.060 Is that a plus

00:34:17.000 or a minus?

00:34:20.140 Well,

00:34:20.580 I'll give you an example.

00:34:21.680 So,

00:34:21.940 my ex,

00:34:23.180 Christina,

00:34:24.380 became a pilot.

00:34:26.680 She's

00:34:27.060 instrument certified

00:34:29.180 and actually can,

00:34:30.120 she's actually certified

00:34:31.280 to be a trainer now.

00:34:32.240 She can teach people

00:34:32.960 how to fly.

00:34:34.360 Knows a number

00:34:35.060 of aircraft,

00:34:35.820 et cetera.

00:34:36.640 Do you think

00:34:37.080 she has an advantage

00:34:38.200 being female

00:34:39.880 in an industry

00:34:41.320 that's probably

00:34:42.020 95% male

00:34:43.200 or do you think

00:34:44.340 it's a disadvantage?

00:34:47.200 I think it's

00:34:47.980 an advantage

00:34:48.540 because I think

00:34:49.600 that airlines

00:34:50.880 would want to

00:34:52.440 increase their diversity,

00:34:53.840 you know,

00:34:54.440 both gender-wise

00:34:55.560 and race-wise.

00:34:57.000 So,

00:34:57.480 if I were

00:34:58.640 advising her

00:34:59.500 on her career,

00:35:01.320 I would say,

00:35:02.280 don't join Avon.

00:35:04.860 If you join Avon,

00:35:06.220 you're going to be

00:35:06.680 competing with

00:35:07.280 all the other women 0.98

00:35:08.180 who are also awesome.

00:35:11.480 If you go compete

00:35:12.800 against pilots,

00:35:14.240 you're going to be

00:35:14.880 at the top of the list

00:35:15.760 every time.

00:35:17.080 Why would you

00:35:17.620 not go there?

00:35:19.460 Why wouldn't you?

00:35:20.980 Now,

00:35:21.840 who disagrees

00:35:23.220 with the idea

00:35:24.040 that you should

00:35:25.000 stay away from

00:35:25.880 pockets of people

00:35:27.340 where the odds

00:35:29.220 are they're not

00:35:29.760 going to like you?

00:35:30.960 Again,

00:35:31.360 it has nothing

00:35:31.760 to do with

00:35:32.180 any individual

00:35:33.060 and no discrimination

00:35:35.920 involved here.

00:35:37.300 I'm just saying

00:35:37.860 that as a personal

00:35:38.880 career decision,

00:35:42.160 you should absolutely

00:35:43.060 be racist

00:35:43.820 whenever it's

00:35:44.660 to your advantage

00:35:45.360 and that's

00:35:46.560 for men,

00:35:47.600 for women,

00:35:48.480 for black,

00:35:49.260 for white,

00:35:50.400 for Asian American,

00:35:51.900 for Hispanic.

00:35:52.880 every one of you

00:35:54.740 should be

00:35:55.400 open

00:35:56.560 to making

00:35:57.540 a racist

00:35:58.320 personal career

00:35:59.720 decision

00:36:00.200 because we all

00:36:01.320 have that option.

00:36:02.840 It's not illegal

00:36:03.540 and it is not

00:36:04.980 unethical.

00:36:07.100 It's very difficult

00:36:08.200 to say out loud,

00:36:09.120 though,

00:36:09.600 because you'll

00:36:10.140 get cancelled.

00:36:12.900 All right.

00:36:14.180 Somebody's saying

00:36:14.820 it's boring

00:36:15.320 because it's not

00:36:16.260 controversial enough.

00:36:20.260 The guy who's

00:36:21.380 saying it's boring

00:36:22.000 is saying it 0.54

00:36:22.540 a hundred times

00:36:23.200 because that's

00:36:23.780 not boring.

00:36:24.860 Well,

00:36:25.260 we'll make you

00:36:25.720 go away. 0.82

00:36:28.160 All right.

00:36:28.780 So that's the framing.

00:36:29.640 Let me summarize

00:36:30.720 that.

00:36:31.860 No discrimination

00:36:32.940 against individuals,

00:36:35.120 not your neighbor,

00:36:36.100 not your family

00:36:36.660 members,

00:36:37.200 not your coworkers,

00:36:38.120 ever.

00:36:38.900 No constitutional

00:36:40.060 violations,

00:36:41.340 ever.

00:36:42.080 But in your

00:36:42.860 personal career

00:36:44.840 decisions,

00:36:47.160 yeah,

00:36:47.560 you should make

00:36:47.960 decisions about

00:36:48.700 avoiding people

00:36:49.960 who dislike you,

00:36:50.900 and you should

00:36:52.580 go where there

00:36:53.260 are clusters of

00:36:54.340 people who have

00:36:55.440 a favorable

00:36:55.940 opinion of you.

00:36:57.200 That would be

00:36:57.680 your best career

00:36:58.460 move.

00:36:59.700 Now,

00:37:00.400 let me tell you

00:37:01.440 what happened

00:37:02.180 as I was watching

00:37:04.060 all the comments

00:37:04.960 to my comments.

00:37:08.320 Number one,

00:37:10.520 I was expecting

00:37:12.120 something like,

00:37:14.400 you know,

00:37:14.700 maybe black people

00:37:15.820 would not like it

00:37:17.020 and white people

00:37:17.860 would be signaling,

00:37:18.720 and here's what

00:37:20.360 happened.

00:37:22.320 There's a weird

00:37:23.500 non-racial correlation

00:37:25.160 to the comments,

00:37:26.900 which I wasn't

00:37:27.760 really expecting.

00:37:28.560 I don't know

00:37:29.060 what I expected,

00:37:29.880 but the number

00:37:31.940 of black people

00:37:32.760 who have said to me

00:37:33.760 either privately

00:37:34.520 or on Twitter

00:37:35.360 that that sounds

00:37:37.640 about right,

00:37:38.640 about half of black

00:37:40.280 people have a bad

00:37:41.400 opinion of white

00:37:42.160 people.

00:37:43.580 Now,

00:37:44.020 what do you think?

00:37:45.440 Now,

00:37:45.860 some people

00:37:46.380 question the

00:37:47.180 Rasmussen poll,

00:37:48.280 and I think that

00:37:48.780 was good criticism.

00:37:51.660 You know,

00:37:51.800 you can't trust

00:37:52.440 any poll

00:37:53.060 if the question

00:37:54.020 is ambiguous.

00:37:56.200 So the question

00:37:56.760 on the poll was,

00:37:57.800 is it okay to be

00:37:58.720 white?

00:37:59.620 And that could be

00:38:00.220 interpreted so many

00:38:01.080 different ways

00:38:01.640 that, you know,

00:38:02.760 you don't know

00:38:03.360 if you're getting

00:38:03.800 a good answer there.

00:38:05.040 But,

00:38:05.780 do you think

00:38:06.300 the general concept

00:38:08.140 is wrong?

00:38:09.020 So here's,

00:38:09.560 let me put it

00:38:10.300 in context.

00:38:12.720 In the context

00:38:13.700 in which DEI

00:38:15.300 is being taught,

00:38:17.000 CRT,

00:38:19.100 and there's

00:38:20.800 another one,

00:38:21.260 I think.

00:38:22.120 But,

00:38:22.580 am I wrong

00:38:23.480 to say that

00:38:24.140 the narrative

00:38:24.880 of the new

00:38:26.720 trends in

00:38:28.060 both education

00:38:29.000 as well as

00:38:30.800 company,

00:38:31.180 ESG,

00:38:31.720 yeah,

00:38:31.960 ESG,

00:38:32.740 am I wrong

00:38:33.640 to say that

00:38:34.160 the trend

00:38:34.740 is to create

00:38:36.140 a narrative

00:38:36.640 in which

00:38:37.280 white people

00:38:38.140 are the cause

00:38:39.980 of current

00:38:40.700 problems?

00:38:41.440 Would you say?

00:38:42.160 Would you say

00:38:43.660 that all of

00:38:44.240 those three

00:38:44.700 things,

00:38:45.120 ESG,

00:38:45.700 DEI,

00:38:46.440 and CRT,

00:38:48.860 have as a

00:38:49.640 common element

00:38:50.400 that white 0.95

00:38:51.600 people are

00:38:52.180 the cause?

00:38:54.860 Right.

00:38:55.280 Now,

00:38:55.580 what would be

00:38:55.980 the predictable

00:38:56.940 outcome of that?

00:39:00.620 I don't think

00:39:01.940 there's any way

00:39:02.680 it could go

00:39:03.240 other than

00:39:03.880 black people

00:39:05.040 would start

00:39:05.540 having a

00:39:06.240 bad feeling

00:39:07.500 about white

00:39:11.800 people.

00:39:12.400 How would

00:39:12.740 that be

00:39:13.060 avoidable?

00:39:15.060 If you were

00:39:15.800 trained to

00:39:16.600 think that

00:39:17.060 a certain

00:39:17.480 class of

00:39:18.020 people were

00:39:18.480 your

00:39:18.680 oppressors,

00:39:20.060 even if it's

00:39:20.660 just historically

00:39:21.380 mostly,

00:39:22.060 but,

00:39:22.560 you know,

00:39:22.880 it lingers

00:39:23.320 today with

00:39:24.020 systemic

00:39:25.620 racism.

00:39:37.300 Yeah.

00:39:38.180 So,

00:39:38.640 what I see

00:39:39.140 is that the

00:39:39.720 media is

00:39:40.520 continuously

00:39:41.380 brainwashing

00:39:42.840 the public

00:39:43.300 that white 0.95

00:39:44.180 people are

00:39:44.720 the problem,

00:39:46.580 and having

00:39:48.540 nothing to do

00:39:49.300 with black

00:39:49.740 people,

00:39:50.800 you could

00:39:51.420 replace black

00:39:52.160 people with

00:39:52.620 any population

00:39:53.380 of people,

00:39:54.300 and if they

00:39:54.900 were brainwashed

00:39:56.140 the way the

00:39:56.840 media is

00:39:57.280 brainwashing

00:39:57.920 all of us

00:39:58.660 today,

00:39:59.620 there's a

00:40:00.680 predictable

00:40:01.060 outcome.

00:40:02.720 So,

00:40:03.500 let me ask

00:40:04.320 you this.

00:40:04.680 if you're

00:40:05.400 black,

00:40:06.640 is it

00:40:07.060 useful to

00:40:07.800 know what

00:40:09.140 the cost

00:40:09.800 of those

00:40:10.240 programs is?

00:40:12.580 I,

00:40:12.880 you know,

00:40:13.260 I guess it's

00:40:13.740 the economist

00:40:15.120 in me.

00:40:15.700 The economist

00:40:16.440 in me says

00:40:17.180 you should

00:40:17.480 always know

00:40:17.840 the cost

00:40:18.420 and the

00:40:18.860 benefits of

00:40:19.460 everything you're

00:40:20.020 doing.

00:40:20.200 Now,

00:40:21.060 the benefits

00:40:21.680 of ESG

00:40:23.480 and CRT

00:40:25.020 and DEI,

00:40:27.000 the benefits

00:40:27.820 would be,

00:40:29.480 presumably,

00:40:30.500 to give

00:40:31.060 minorities and

00:40:32.200 women a 1.00

00:40:34.240 little leg

00:40:35.280 up,

00:40:36.060 a little

00:40:36.460 advantage,

00:40:38.140 maybe some

00:40:38.540 context,

00:40:39.600 to make things

00:40:40.120 better,

00:40:41.120 to make things

00:40:41.700 better.

00:40:42.700 Now,

00:40:43.920 I don't know

00:40:44.440 if it does,

00:40:46.020 but the part

00:40:46.680 that I can

00:40:47.220 speak to

00:40:47.820 with some

00:40:48.320 authority is

00:40:49.840 that it

00:40:50.160 has an

00:40:50.520 expense.

00:40:51.680 And the

00:40:52.060 expense is

00:40:52.720 you can

00:40:53.520 have what

00:40:53.900 you want,

00:40:54.380 but I

00:40:54.580 don't want

00:40:54.880 to be

00:40:55.080 near you.

00:40:56.920 Do you

00:40:57.300 remember the

00:40:58.120 Pence rule?

00:41:00.340 The Pence

00:41:01.060 rule was

00:41:01.740 he wouldn't

00:41:02.280 go to

00:41:02.760 lunch or

00:41:03.720 dinner with

00:41:05.260 a woman 0.57

00:41:05.800 who was

00:41:06.140 not his

00:41:06.520 wife.

00:41:08.280 Now,

00:41:08.780 do you

00:41:09.000 think that

00:41:09.460 Pence

00:41:09.860 dislikes

00:41:10.660 women? 1.00

00:41:12.560 Would that

00:41:12.940 be a

00:41:13.780 reasonable

00:41:14.200 conclusion?

00:41:15.740 The Pence

00:41:16.260 goes to,

00:41:17.380 he won't

00:41:17.740 go to

00:41:18.040 lunch unless

00:41:18.600 his wife

00:41:19.040 is there,

00:41:19.840 he won't

00:41:21.060 go with

00:41:21.400 another

00:41:21.680 woman.

00:41:24.480 Is that

00:41:25.140 an anti-woman

00:41:26.000 thing?

00:41:28.080 By the

00:41:28.640 way,

00:41:28.780 he's totally

00:41:29.220 right.

00:41:30.900 Here's how

00:41:31.520 I interpret

00:41:32.040 it.

00:41:33.240 It has

00:41:33.820 nothing to

00:41:34.300 do with

00:41:34.560 any

00:41:34.780 individual

00:41:35.460 woman.

00:41:37.360 Mike

00:41:37.800 Pence is

00:41:38.240 not saying,

00:41:38.920 oh,

00:41:39.200 this one

00:41:39.680 woman who 0.99

00:41:40.120 wants to

00:41:40.460 go to

00:41:40.740 lunch with

00:41:41.460 me is

00:41:41.800 bad.

00:41:42.740 This

00:41:42.980 Jezebel

00:41:43.520 wants to

00:41:44.100 go to

00:41:44.300 lunch with

00:41:44.660 me.

00:41:44.760 He's not

00:41:45.060 saying that.

00:41:46.280 He's just

00:41:46.680 playing the

00:41:47.060 odds,

00:41:48.320 isn't he?

00:41:49.840 I think

00:41:50.380 he's just

00:41:50.720 playing a

00:41:51.120 statistical

00:41:51.600 game.

00:41:52.640 He's just

00:41:53.180 saying,

00:41:53.580 if I don't

00:41:53.940 put myself

00:41:54.540 in a

00:41:54.880 situation

00:41:55.320 where a

00:41:55.780 bad thing

00:41:56.200 could happen,

00:41:57.540 well,

00:41:57.920 less chance

00:41:58.420 of a

00:41:58.660 bad thing

00:41:59.020 happening,

00:42:00.020 so I

00:42:00.300 just won't

00:42:00.620 be in

00:42:00.840 that

00:42:00.980 situation.

00:42:02.660 But there

00:42:03.800 are two

00:42:04.120 situations

00:42:04.700 that I

00:42:05.240 would think

00:42:05.580 Mike Pence

00:42:06.180 would want

00:42:06.600 to avoid.

00:42:08.560 One is

00:42:09.980 getting any

00:42:10.700 kind of a

00:42:11.120 romantic interest

00:42:12.020 with a

00:42:12.820 person that

00:42:14.000 he didn't

00:42:14.380 intend to.

00:42:15.580 That's the

00:42:16.200 first thing

00:42:16.580 to avoid.

00:42:16.960 But the

00:42:17.740 second thing

00:42:18.260 to avoid

00:42:18.780 is getting

00:42:19.780 me-tooed

00:42:20.500 when maybe

00:42:22.280 you didn't

00:42:22.620 me-too

00:42:22.900 anybody.

00:42:25.040 Right?

00:42:25.620 So that's

00:42:26.400 a more

00:42:27.220 modern risk

00:42:27.940 is getting

00:42:28.320 me-tooed

00:42:29.060 falsely,

00:42:30.400 because we

00:42:30.760 know that

00:42:31.060 happens.

00:42:32.560 So he

00:42:33.360 removes the

00:42:33.980 risk of

00:42:34.360 being me-tooed

00:42:35.860 falsely,

00:42:37.620 or even

00:42:38.160 if he did

00:42:40.420 it.

00:42:41.200 He removes

00:42:42.000 the risk

00:42:42.320 of doing

00:42:42.700 it,

00:42:43.000 and also

00:42:43.380 the risk

00:42:43.780 of being

00:42:44.060 accused

00:42:44.460 of doing

00:42:44.780 it,

00:42:45.180 just by

00:42:45.640 getting rid

00:42:46.020 of the

00:42:46.180 situation.

00:42:46.960 Now,

00:42:48.280 given the

00:42:48.920 way black 0.90

00:42:49.780 Americans

00:42:50.280 have been

00:42:50.780 primed by

00:42:52.520 DEI and

00:42:53.520 CRT and

00:42:54.640 ESG and

00:42:55.880 the media,

00:42:57.960 would you

00:42:58.420 expect that

00:42:59.580 they would

00:42:59.880 be primed

00:43:00.660 to see

00:43:02.140 racism

00:43:02.680 everywhere?

00:43:04.980 Of course.

00:43:06.720 That's just

00:43:07.160 how it works.

00:43:08.240 And does

00:43:08.680 this have

00:43:09.020 anything to

00:43:09.560 do with

00:43:09.840 being black?

00:43:11.120 No.

00:43:12.000 No.

00:43:12.700 Because white 0.98

00:43:13.300 people are

00:43:13.680 being primed

00:43:14.180 the same

00:43:14.500 way.

00:43:15.800 Most of

00:43:16.580 the people

00:43:16.980 who are

00:43:17.320 mad at

00:43:17.700 me today

00:43:18.100 are white.

00:43:20.800 Most of

00:43:21.400 the people

00:43:21.800 who are

00:43:22.220 mad at

00:43:22.500 me today

00:43:22.860 are white.

00:43:25.160 Because

00:43:25.560 they've been

00:43:25.960 primed to

00:43:27.360 have a

00:43:27.780 certain

00:43:27.960 reaction to

00:43:29.100 what they

00:43:29.460 think

00:43:30.080 happened.

00:43:30.900 Now,

00:43:31.140 most of

00:43:31.400 them don't

00:43:31.720 know what

00:43:32.180 I'm doing.

00:43:33.680 They're

00:43:33.920 missing the

00:43:35.700 movie entirely,

00:43:36.500 which makes it

00:43:37.020 a movie.

00:43:37.420 That's what

00:43:37.700 makes it

00:43:37.980 fun.

00:43:38.140 So,

00:43:38.220 yeah,

00:43:41.900 so we

00:43:42.520 are trained

00:43:43.160 to see

00:43:43.780 race as

00:43:44.860 a primary

00:43:45.400 variable and

00:43:46.440 not one

00:43:47.860 of the

00:43:48.100 variables.

00:43:49.540 No,

00:43:49.780 I don't.

00:43:49.980 Maybe it

00:43:50.300 is.

00:43:51.000 Maybe it

00:43:51.500 is a

00:43:51.720 primary

00:43:51.960 variable.

00:43:53.260 So,

00:43:53.480 whether or

00:43:54.240 not those

00:43:55.100 programs are

00:43:56.340 accurate or

00:43:57.220 not,

00:43:58.580 that's not

00:43:59.240 related to

00:43:59.800 my point.

00:44:01.740 It could

00:44:02.140 be that

00:44:02.480 everything

00:44:02.760 that CRT

00:44:03.800 and DEI

00:44:04.980 and all

00:44:05.800 those say

00:44:06.180 is accurate.

00:44:06.780 I don't

00:44:07.800 know.

00:44:08.280 I haven't

00:44:08.640 experienced

00:44:09.180 it.

00:44:09.660 But whether

00:44:10.060 it's accurate

00:44:10.600 or not,

00:44:11.120 it would

00:44:11.360 prime people

00:44:11.900 the same

00:44:12.260 way.

00:44:13.420 It would

00:44:13.740 prime you

00:44:14.320 to look at

00:44:14.980 white people

00:44:15.460 as a source

00:44:16.160 of racism.

00:44:18.460 And so,

00:44:19.480 the Mike

00:44:20.820 Pence rule

00:44:21.340 would say,

00:44:21.960 you want to

00:44:22.300 get some

00:44:22.580 distance.

00:44:24.240 You want

00:44:24.540 to get

00:44:24.720 some

00:44:24.880 distance.

00:44:25.900 Now,

00:44:26.380 is that

00:44:26.720 racist?

00:44:29.480 Yeah.

00:44:30.540 Yeah,

00:44:31.000 by definition.

00:44:32.680 But is

00:44:33.400 racist in

00:44:34.580 a personal

00:44:35.660 success

00:44:38.640 context,

00:44:39.900 which is

00:44:40.540 completely

00:44:40.980 allowable.

00:44:42.660 It's

00:44:43.140 completely

00:44:43.580 allowable.

00:44:44.600 And by

00:44:44.860 the way,

00:44:45.400 black people

00:44:46.000 can do

00:44:46.340 it too.

00:44:47.560 Everybody

00:44:47.900 can do

00:44:48.260 it.

00:44:49.820 You can

00:44:50.480 take care

00:44:50.920 of yourself

00:44:51.420 first.

00:44:52.560 There's no

00:44:53.140 law against

00:44:53.960 that.

00:44:54.840 And you

00:44:55.300 can do

00:44:55.520 it for

00:44:55.720 any reason,

00:44:56.960 as long

00:44:57.600 as you're

00:44:57.840 not bothering

00:44:58.360 other people.

00:44:59.680 If it's

00:45:00.080 an internal

00:45:00.720 conversation,

00:45:04.200 it doesn't

00:45:04.600 bother

00:45:04.800 anybody.

00:45:05.080 you just

00:45:05.760 don't go

00:45:06.260 to

00:45:06.400 Cleveland.

00:45:08.280 Is 0.88

00:45:08.820 anybody

00:45:09.120 disadvantaged

00:45:09.760 because I

00:45:10.280 don't move

00:45:10.740 to Cleveland?

00:45:12.120 It's just

00:45:12.500 a decision

00:45:12.940 I make

00:45:13.420 that is

00:45:16.020 racist, 0.77

00:45:17.380 but it's

00:45:18.280 good for

00:45:18.580 the individual.

00:45:20.980 Now,

00:45:21.340 do you

00:45:21.560 think that

00:45:21.980 all racist

00:45:22.620 things are

00:45:23.160 bad?

00:45:24.880 It's a

00:45:25.220 trick question.

00:45:27.660 Because

00:45:28.260 affirmative

00:45:28.840 action is

00:45:29.520 racist.

00:45:30.640 Is it

00:45:30.980 bad?

00:45:31.300 I mostly

00:45:34.380 have supported

00:45:35.000 it

00:45:35.340 historically,

00:45:36.620 but where

00:45:37.580 I have,

00:45:39.620 let's say,

00:45:40.300 my complaint

00:45:41.080 is that

00:45:42.660 at some

00:45:43.280 point you

00:45:43.740 have to

00:45:44.000 get rid

00:45:44.280 of it.

00:45:45.240 And that's

00:45:45.640 better for

00:45:46.200 everybody.

00:45:47.340 Like,

00:45:47.560 everybody's

00:45:48.160 better.

00:45:48.800 If you can

00:45:49.240 get people

00:45:49.920 close enough

00:45:50.800 to, you

00:45:52.660 know,

00:45:52.940 similar

00:45:53.400 situations

00:45:54.180 that you

00:45:55.140 could get

00:45:55.540 rid of it,

00:45:56.080 you need

00:45:57.180 to start

00:45:57.500 planning for

00:45:58.120 that,

00:45:58.640 right?

00:45:59.780 But that

00:46:00.640 doesn't make

00:46:01.040 it bad,

00:46:01.760 just because

00:46:02.400 it's racist.

00:46:05.060 Yeah.

00:46:05.900 I think

00:46:06.820 we're primed

00:46:07.600 to hear that

00:46:08.200 word and

00:46:08.740 just go,

00:46:09.240 uh.

00:46:09.880 Now,

00:46:10.340 here's what

00:46:11.140 I think is

00:46:11.760 the most

00:46:12.060 interesting

00:46:12.640 part of

00:46:13.380 the reaction

00:46:13.980 to the

00:46:14.760 video that's

00:46:15.340 going around

00:46:15.860 of my

00:46:16.460 comments.

00:46:19.440 White

00:46:20.000 people were

00:46:21.260 most likely

00:46:22.080 to say,

00:46:23.280 racist, 0.77

00:46:24.740 cancel him,

00:46:25.500 racist.

00:46:27.540 Black 0.64

00:46:28.020 people,

00:46:29.480 mostly the

00:46:29.980 men for

00:46:30.380 some reason,

00:46:30.960 I don't

00:46:31.180 know why,

00:46:32.180 but black

00:46:32.720 men were

00:46:34.120 more likely

00:46:34.740 to say,

00:46:36.320 I think

00:46:37.560 there's some

00:46:37.960 context

00:46:38.420 missing.

00:46:41.560 It's kind

00:46:42.300 of wonderful.

00:46:43.520 I wasn't

00:46:44.080 really knowing

00:46:44.880 what to expect

00:46:45.580 exactly,

00:46:46.420 but black

00:46:47.320 men,

00:46:48.160 by and large,

00:46:49.140 they smell

00:46:49.580 a rat.

00:46:50.600 They're like,

00:46:51.020 wait a minute,

00:46:52.420 this doesn't

00:46:53.020 smell right.

00:46:55.500 Could those

00:46:56.220 comments be

00:46:57.000 the way

00:46:57.760 they're being

00:46:58.140 presented?

00:46:58.940 Is that even

00:46:59.520 possible?

00:47:01.140 People asked

00:47:01.960 me if it

00:47:02.380 was a deep

00:47:02.880 fake.

00:47:03.980 They were so

00:47:04.480 disbelieving.

00:47:05.540 This is a

00:47:06.120 deep fake.

00:47:07.100 Other people

00:47:07.660 said,

00:47:08.580 contacted me

00:47:09.300 directly,

00:47:10.360 black men,

00:47:12.240 mostly,

00:47:12.960 and said,

00:47:14.060 is there some

00:47:14.760 context here I'm

00:47:15.680 missing?

00:47:16.920 And I would,

00:47:17.540 you know,

00:47:17.780 send them to

00:47:18.280 the context.

00:47:19.860 So,

00:47:20.500 I love the

00:47:21.700 fact that

00:47:22.700 black Americans

00:47:23.620 were on to

00:47:24.280 me.

00:47:24.840 They were

00:47:25.100 like,

00:47:25.320 on to

00:47:25.560 me right

00:47:25.860 away.

00:47:26.720 And white

00:47:27.320 Americans

00:47:27.720 totally fell

00:47:28.380 for everything.

00:47:29.700 They just

00:47:30.300 fell for the 0.51

00:47:31.020 entire second

00:47:32.560 act.

00:47:34.980 All right.

00:47:35.600 So,

00:47:36.260 today on

00:47:37.060 Hotep

00:47:37.600 Jesus' 0.89

00:47:38.400 podcast,

00:47:39.140 it's the

00:47:39.380 only one

00:47:39.700 I'm going

00:47:39.940 to do.

00:47:40.680 So,

00:47:41.000 I think

00:47:41.320 I'll just

00:47:41.600 do one.

00:47:42.880 I was

00:47:43.800 planning to

00:47:44.280 do no

00:47:44.860 interviews

00:47:45.380 all year

00:47:45.940 before this

00:47:47.040 popped up,

00:47:47.800 but this

00:47:48.520 was sort

00:47:48.840 of irresistible.

00:47:50.160 Like,

00:47:50.400 I had to

00:47:50.960 do one.

00:47:51.300 One.

00:47:53.620 He's not

00:47:54.700 in the

00:47:54.840 46%.

00:47:55.780 But,

00:47:56.740 here's what

00:47:58.120 you should

00:47:58.440 look for

00:47:58.880 on this

00:47:59.240 controversy.

00:48:01.640 Look for

00:48:02.300 the people

00:48:02.640 who are

00:48:02.840 mad.

00:48:03.860 That's the

00:48:04.500 big part

00:48:04.980 of the

00:48:05.160 story.

00:48:05.920 Now,

00:48:06.180 here's the

00:48:06.560 fun part.

00:48:08.520 Look for

00:48:09.080 somebody to

00:48:09.700 disagree with

00:48:10.620 my opinion.

00:48:12.460 Have you

00:48:13.060 seen it?

00:48:15.200 Nobody

00:48:15.680 has.

00:48:17.460 Literally

00:48:17.940 nobody

00:48:18.360 disagrees

00:48:18.880 with me.

00:48:19.980 They're just

00:48:20.460 sure I

00:48:20.840 shouldn't

00:48:21.100 say it.

00:48:23.020 Am I

00:48:23.320 right?

00:48:23.620 The

00:48:26.540 entire

00:48:27.120 point is

00:48:27.680 that I

00:48:27.920 shouldn't

00:48:28.180 say it.

00:48:30.980 Nobody

00:48:31.460 disagrees

00:48:31.960 with it.

00:48:33.300 Who

00:48:33.740 would go

00:48:34.580 on the

00:48:34.860 side of

00:48:35.180 saying,

00:48:35.520 yes,

00:48:36.100 you should

00:48:36.600 hang around

00:48:37.080 with people

00:48:37.420 who have

00:48:37.640 a bad

00:48:37.940 opinion

00:48:38.220 of you?

00:48:39.060 The

00:48:39.540 closest

00:48:39.960 somebody

00:48:40.460 got to

00:48:40.880 disagreeing

00:48:41.660 is saying

00:48:42.580 that the

00:48:42.940 Rasmussen

00:48:43.500 poll might

00:48:44.400 not be

00:48:44.900 an accurate

00:48:45.520 poll,

00:48:46.440 which I

00:48:47.160 accept.

00:48:48.060 It might

00:48:48.520 not be.

00:48:49.760 But I'll

00:48:50.220 tell you

00:48:50.720 what nobody

00:48:52.180 is arguing

00:48:52.900 with is

00:48:53.740 that black 1.00

00:48:54.200 Americans

00:48:54.760 are developing

00:48:57.500 and have

00:48:58.520 a pretty

00:48:59.560 negative

00:49:00.020 opinion of

00:49:00.680 white Americans.

00:49:01.860 Now,

00:49:02.140 not all of

00:49:02.640 them.

00:49:04.580 Anytime I

00:49:05.480 talk about

00:49:05.880 a group,

00:49:06.600 it's never

00:49:07.060 everybody in

00:49:07.820 the group.

00:49:08.160 I trust you

00:49:10.000 to be

00:49:10.360 adults.

00:49:12.060 And no,

00:49:12.460 if I say

00:49:12.920 Republicans

00:49:13.520 own guns,

00:49:14.880 that doesn't

00:49:15.500 mean every

00:49:16.040 Republican

00:49:16.620 owns a

00:49:17.600 gun.

00:49:18.360 If I say

00:49:18.940 Democrats

00:49:19.540 are woke,

00:49:20.900 that doesn't

00:49:21.580 mean every

00:49:23.000 Democrat

00:49:23.480 is woke.

00:49:24.660 It never

00:49:25.360 means that.

00:49:26.520 So if I

00:49:26.940 say black 0.69

00:49:27.720 people do

00:49:28.380 this or

00:49:28.780 that,

00:49:29.280 it never

00:49:30.040 means every

00:49:31.400 black person

00:49:32.160 acts like

00:49:32.660 every other

00:49:33.140 black person.

00:49:33.880 That's not a

00:49:34.400 thing.

00:49:35.300 The funniest

00:49:36.060 comments were

00:49:36.780 from black

00:49:37.320 men who

00:49:37.760 said,

00:49:38.560 oh,

00:49:38.880 I totally

00:49:39.360 understand why

00:49:40.060 you'd say

00:49:40.380 that,

00:49:40.720 Scott,

00:49:41.320 because my

00:49:41.960 own experience

00:49:42.680 is that half

00:49:43.380 of black

00:49:43.740 people don't

00:49:44.300 like white

00:49:44.720 people.

00:49:45.700 I can see

00:49:46.360 why you'd

00:49:46.700 want to stay

00:49:47.100 away from

00:49:47.440 that situation.

00:49:48.840 That's from

00:49:49.420 black people.

00:49:51.280 Now,

00:49:51.600 that's something

00:49:51.980 that the white 0.80

00:49:52.480 people can't 0.97

00:49:53.100 say.

00:49:55.180 Only the

00:49:55.860 black men

00:49:56.480 have said

00:49:57.420 that so far.

00:49:58.380 It's all

00:49:58.860 men.

00:49:59.840 But the

00:50:00.680 black men

00:50:01.200 are like,

00:50:01.460 yeah,

00:50:01.660 you got a

00:50:02.020 point there.

00:50:02.960 I see where

00:50:03.420 you're coming

00:50:04.260 from.

00:50:04.520 But the

00:50:07.180 white

00:50:07.740 signalers,

00:50:09.040 I don't

00:50:09.560 know if

00:50:09.760 you've seen

00:50:10.060 some of

00:50:10.380 the ones

00:50:10.660 who are

00:50:10.820 into

00:50:11.660 super

00:50:12.340 signaling.

00:50:13.680 They want

00:50:14.320 to be so

00:50:15.320 black,

00:50:16.160 they're trying

00:50:16.720 to be

00:50:17.080 black.

00:50:17.960 Like,

00:50:18.340 oh,

00:50:18.740 I love

00:50:19.220 black people

00:50:19.700 more than

00:50:20.040 black people

00:50:20.520 love black

00:50:20.900 people.

00:50:21.700 I'm going

00:50:22.140 to signal

00:50:22.580 so hard,

00:50:23.740 I'm the

00:50:24.160 best person

00:50:24.760 on the

00:50:25.120 entire

00:50:25.460 internet.

00:50:26.160 So a

00:50:26.460 lot of

00:50:26.700 narcissists

00:50:27.440 have been

00:50:28.000 surfaced.

00:50:28.740 Now,

00:50:31.220 the,

00:50:33.640 oh,

00:50:34.900 damn it,

00:50:35.240 I didn't

00:50:35.480 write down

00:50:35.900 my favorite,

00:50:37.140 my favorite

00:50:37.940 comment was

00:50:38.700 from a

00:50:39.460 black man

00:50:40.140 on Twitter

00:50:41.780 who said

00:50:43.440 that white 0.95

00:50:44.780 people should

00:50:46.060 be examining,

00:50:46.960 I hope I'm

00:50:47.560 paraphrasing

00:50:48.040 correctly,

00:50:48.880 he said

00:50:49.240 that white 0.95

00:50:49.640 people should

00:50:50.160 be examining

00:50:50.880 how white

00:50:54.400 people are

00:50:55.660 demonizing

00:50:56.240 other white 0.66

00:50:56.800 people.

00:50:58.740 to which

00:51:00.720 I said

00:51:01.140 player

00:51:02.780 enters the

00:51:03.620 simulation.

00:51:05.580 Player

00:51:06.220 enters the

00:51:07.180 simulation.

00:51:08.800 Yeah,

00:51:09.680 yeah,

00:51:10.120 white people

00:51:10.580 are mostly

00:51:11.240 being called

00:51:12.400 racist by

00:51:13.040 white people.

00:51:14.360 Mostly.

00:51:15.580 It's mostly

00:51:16.140 white people

00:51:16.660 attacking white 0.63

00:51:17.340 people to

00:51:18.380 show that

00:51:18.780 we're better

00:51:19.240 than them.

00:51:20.920 And let

00:51:21.900 me tell you

00:51:22.440 something that

00:51:23.200 I think is

00:51:25.680 being poorly

00:51:26.560 appreciated.

00:51:27.160 So I've

00:51:29.100 told you

00:51:29.440 that I

00:51:29.720 lost two

00:51:31.260 corporate jobs

00:51:32.180 because I

00:51:32.840 was white

00:51:33.340 and male.

00:51:34.540 There's a

00:51:35.480 black editor,

00:51:37.380 I think,

00:51:37.580 for a newspaper

00:51:38.080 who's been

00:51:38.980 challenging me

00:51:39.660 because he

00:51:39.980 doesn't believe

00:51:40.480 it.

00:51:41.380 He doesn't

00:51:41.820 believe that I

00:51:42.380 lost two

00:51:43.100 corporate jobs

00:51:44.000 directly because

00:51:45.880 I was told in

00:51:46.580 direct language,

00:51:47.560 you're male and

00:51:48.160 you're white so 0.99

00:51:49.280 we can't promote

00:51:49.900 you.

00:51:51.160 Directly.

00:51:52.020 I'm not reading

00:51:52.760 between the lines.

00:51:53.620 my boss in

00:51:55.420 both cases

00:51:56.180 told me

00:51:57.220 directly in

00:51:58.280 a specific

00:51:58.840 meeting just

00:51:59.960 to tell me

00:52:00.420 that.

00:52:01.500 Just to tell

00:52:01.880 me that.

00:52:02.500 But here's

00:52:02.940 the part I

00:52:03.360 don't talk

00:52:03.820 about.

00:52:05.640 It was all

00:52:06.400 white people.

00:52:08.580 I've

00:52:09.220 experienced

00:52:10.300 severe

00:52:11.200 discrimination

00:52:12.140 in my life

00:52:13.060 but only

00:52:14.460 from white

00:52:14.980 people.

00:52:16.240 Only.

00:52:16.560 In fact,

00:52:19.040 if this

00:52:19.620 situation

00:52:20.300 were only

00:52:21.860 between me

00:52:22.580 and black

00:52:23.000 people,

00:52:24.140 it would

00:52:24.740 already be

00:52:25.220 over.

00:52:27.000 It's only

00:52:27.700 the white

00:52:28.060 people keeping

00:52:28.620 it alive.

00:52:29.700 It's only

00:52:30.080 the white

00:52:30.440 people trying

00:52:30.920 to be

00:52:31.200 blacker than

00:52:31.720 the black

00:52:32.080 people.

00:52:32.760 I'll be

00:52:33.160 blacker than

00:52:33.680 you,

00:52:34.160 damn it.

00:52:35.320 I'll be so

00:52:36.500 open-minded

00:52:37.460 that I'm more

00:52:38.120 black than 0.77

00:52:38.560 you are.

00:52:39.840 If you took

00:52:41.060 the white

00:52:41.540 people out

00:52:42.080 of the

00:52:42.280 conversation,

00:52:43.500 here's how

00:52:44.020 it would

00:52:44.300 go.

00:52:45.600 Scott,

00:52:46.820 why are you

00:52:47.340 saying that

00:52:47.880 white people

00:52:48.380 should stay

00:52:49.400 away from

00:52:49.760 black people?

00:52:51.160 And then I'd

00:52:51.560 say,

00:52:51.740 oh,

00:52:52.420 it's because

00:52:53.020 my understanding

00:52:53.900 is that

00:52:55.280 within the

00:52:55.920 black population

00:52:56.960 there's a

00:52:58.960 very high

00:52:59.460 percentage of

00:53:00.000 people who

00:53:00.440 don't like

00:53:01.020 me.

00:53:02.140 And since I

00:53:02.620 don't know

00:53:02.980 which ones

00:53:03.460 it is,

00:53:05.040 and since

00:53:05.520 it's completely

00:53:06.100 legal for me

00:53:07.100 to move or

00:53:07.820 associate with

00:53:09.040 whoever I

00:53:09.480 want,

00:53:10.380 I'll reduce

00:53:11.240 that risk by

00:53:12.880 not being with

00:53:13.560 people who

00:53:13.940 don't like

00:53:14.340 me.

00:53:15.580 What would a

00:53:16.400 black person

00:53:16.980 say to that?

00:53:17.520 I think

00:53:21.200 they'd say

00:53:21.540 that's the

00:53:21.860 same thing

00:53:22.200 I do.

00:53:23.540 I don't

00:53:24.360 want to

00:53:24.640 live with

00:53:25.140 racists.

00:53:27.360 Right?

00:53:28.120 Is there

00:53:28.560 any black

00:53:28.960 person who

00:53:29.680 says,

00:53:30.300 you know

00:53:30.700 where I'd

00:53:31.200 like to

00:53:31.520 live?

00:53:32.780 In like

00:53:33.180 the most

00:53:33.820 racist white

00:53:34.820 part of the

00:53:35.340 country.

00:53:36.500 That's what

00:53:37.100 I want.

00:53:38.140 I want to

00:53:38.440 get me some

00:53:38.820 of that.

00:53:39.660 Nobody says

00:53:40.240 that.

00:53:40.460 So I

00:53:42.380 believe that

00:53:42.820 if the

00:53:43.080 conversation

00:53:43.600 were between

00:53:44.380 me and

00:53:45.600 either all

00:53:46.660 black people

00:53:47.240 or any

00:53:47.940 black person,

00:53:48.900 they would

00:53:49.440 immediately say,

00:53:50.240 oh, that's

00:53:50.680 what you're

00:53:50.940 saying.

00:53:52.000 You're saying

00:53:52.600 you don't

00:53:52.960 want to be

00:53:53.260 around people

00:53:53.740 who don't

00:53:54.020 like you.

00:53:55.460 Totally on

00:53:56.100 board.

00:53:56.920 I get it.

00:53:57.960 Yeah, we

00:53:58.380 don't like it

00:53:58.820 either.

00:53:59.860 It's too bad

00:54:00.580 you're in that

00:54:00.980 situation.

00:54:02.980 I like you,

00:54:04.380 so can you

00:54:06.280 and I hang

00:54:06.740 out?

00:54:07.400 To which I

00:54:07.980 say, well,

00:54:08.400 you seem

00:54:08.680 nice.

00:54:09.740 Yeah.

00:54:09.940 I'll hang

00:54:10.700 out with

00:54:10.960 you.

00:54:12.400 Absolutely.

00:54:14.440 All right.

00:54:15.720 So the

00:54:16.220 two things,

00:54:17.080 my two

00:54:17.460 points that

00:54:18.040 people are

00:54:18.440 disagreeing

00:54:18.960 with and

00:54:19.520 hate me and

00:54:19.980 are canceling

00:54:20.520 me is that

00:54:21.380 everyone should

00:54:22.000 be treated as

00:54:22.720 an individual,

00:54:23.540 no discrimination

00:54:24.420 in person or

00:54:26.320 constitutionally or

00:54:27.480 legally.

00:54:28.700 But you should

00:54:29.600 also avoid any

00:54:30.380 group that

00:54:30.760 doesn't respect

00:54:31.380 you, even if

00:54:33.400 there are people

00:54:33.900 within the

00:54:34.440 group who

00:54:34.800 are fine.

00:54:36.300 It's legal 0.60

00:54:37.100 and it's the

00:54:38.820 obvious,

00:54:39.360 it's the

00:54:40.920 obvious response

00:54:42.040 to DEI and

00:54:43.540 CRT and

00:54:44.540 ESG and

00:54:45.500 all that

00:54:45.760 stuff.

00:54:46.740 So it's the

00:54:47.580 obvious response.

00:54:49.700 All right.

00:54:53.020 By the way,

00:54:54.260 I blame

00:54:54.820 systemic racism

00:54:55.940 for this

00:54:56.380 situation.

00:54:57.080 I think it

00:54:57.480 sounds like I'm

00:54:58.040 blaming black

00:54:58.680 people.

00:55:00.460 Is that what

00:55:01.800 people are

00:55:02.240 interpreting?

00:55:02.640 That I'm

00:55:04.080 blaming black

00:55:04.880 people?

00:55:05.820 No, I'm

00:55:06.220 blaming white

00:55:06.680 people.

00:55:06.940 All of the

00:55:09.100 discrimination

00:55:09.520 that I've

00:55:10.200 experienced.

00:55:11.180 In fact, the

00:55:12.100 newspapers that

00:55:12.860 are canceling

00:55:13.420 me, do you

00:55:13.800 think they're

00:55:14.200 canceling me

00:55:14.720 because of

00:55:15.140 black people?

00:55:17.160 Maybe.

00:55:18.180 But probably

00:55:18.920 it's white

00:55:19.280 people.

00:55:20.080 So I'm

00:55:20.720 being canceled

00:55:21.240 by white

00:55:21.680 people.

00:55:22.880 Almost

00:55:23.400 entirely.

00:55:24.120 I guarantee

00:55:24.560 it.

00:55:29.080 Blame the 0.79

00:55:29.720 patriarchy.

00:55:30.500 Yeah.

00:55:30.640 All right.

00:55:32.820 Here are some

00:55:33.700 topics that we

00:55:34.500 know to be

00:55:35.040 racist.

00:55:35.800 Taxes.

00:55:36.840 Like I said,

00:55:37.580 any change to

00:55:38.280 taxes is going

00:55:39.040 to favor or

00:55:39.820 disfavor some

00:55:40.800 group.

00:55:41.760 Border policy.

00:55:43.140 Climate, we've

00:55:44.040 been told.

00:55:44.960 Health care,

00:55:45.680 obviously.

00:55:46.340 Differences in

00:55:46.920 health care.

00:55:48.080 And housing.

00:55:49.960 And of course,

00:55:51.220 economics and

00:55:51.960 everything else.

00:55:52.660 Schools.

00:55:53.860 It's hard to

00:55:54.320 think of anything

00:55:54.840 that isn't

00:55:55.460 objectively racist

00:55:56.620 at this point.

00:55:57.340 because it's

00:56:00.240 racist if it

00:56:00.880 has a racist

00:56:01.380 outcome.

00:56:02.460 So anything

00:56:03.480 you do to the

00:56:04.140 school system,

00:56:05.200 taxes, the

00:56:06.020 economy, will

00:56:07.080 have some kind

00:56:07.720 of disproportionate

00:56:08.740 outcome.

00:56:10.060 So it's all

00:56:10.860 racist.

00:56:12.000 And certainly

00:56:12.660 what I've

00:56:13.300 suggested was.

00:56:16.220 But not all

00:56:17.100 racism is

00:56:18.120 something you

00:56:18.560 should run

00:56:18.900 away from.

00:56:19.740 Like I said,

00:56:21.000 affirmative

00:56:22.380 action, I

00:56:24.300 think,

00:56:24.560 helped.

00:56:25.860 Like on the

00:56:26.640 whole,

00:56:27.340 I think it

00:56:28.660 helped.

00:56:29.520 We just

00:56:29.900 have to be

00:56:31.220 smart about

00:56:31.800 when we

00:56:32.200 wind that

00:56:32.660 down.

00:56:35.520 All right.

00:56:39.840 I'm going

00:56:40.360 to give you

00:56:40.740 one.

00:56:42.360 Does anybody

00:56:42.720 have any

00:56:43.040 questions?

00:56:46.200 Are you

00:56:46.840 surprised?

00:56:49.400 On

00:56:49.840 locals, maybe

00:56:50.480 you can't

00:56:50.800 see this.

00:56:51.420 But looking

00:56:51.800 at the

00:56:52.100 comments,

00:56:55.560 did I see

00:56:56.240 the Charlie

00:56:56.840 Chian video,

00:56:58.420 what are we

00:56:58.900 doing to

00:56:59.380 white people?

00:56:59.980 No.

00:57:01.200 No.

00:57:02.680 I did not

00:57:03.420 see that.

00:57:04.220 Send that to

00:57:04.820 me.

00:57:06.840 I think what's

00:57:08.060 going to happen

00:57:08.480 is you're going

00:57:08.860 to see a lot

00:57:09.320 of interesting

00:57:09.960 people enter the

00:57:11.220 conversation.

00:57:13.560 And you might

00:57:14.320 be surprised.

00:57:15.640 You might be

00:57:16.140 surprised.

00:57:17.140 Because there

00:57:17.980 are a lot of

00:57:18.320 people who,

00:57:19.900 even if they

00:57:20.460 don't like what

00:57:21.200 I said, feel

00:57:23.920 that anything

00:57:24.480 that sounds

00:57:24.980 honest is

00:57:26.360 like a breath

00:57:27.380 of fresh air.

00:57:28.500 Like I'd

00:57:28.920 rather just

00:57:29.400 hear your

00:57:29.760 honest opinion.

00:57:32.080 By the way,

00:57:32.760 I love black

00:57:33.340 people.

00:57:34.640 I don't know

00:57:35.260 if I've ever

00:57:35.680 said that

00:57:36.040 directly.

00:57:36.560 I think that's

00:57:37.100 useful to

00:57:37.620 say.

00:57:38.960 Like, I

00:57:39.740 love black

00:57:40.160 people.

00:57:41.320 That's partly

00:57:42.240 why I've

00:57:42.780 worked extra

00:57:43.500 hard for

00:57:44.860 much of my

00:57:45.640 adult life to

00:57:47.160 specifically

00:57:47.820 benefit black

00:57:49.260 Americans.

00:57:50.100 I thought it

00:57:50.540 was worth

00:57:50.880 doing.

00:57:52.120 So, I

00:57:54.160 always feel

00:57:54.560 like you

00:57:54.840 should say

00:57:55.180 that directly

00:57:55.820 because anything

00:57:56.820 you say

00:57:57.260 where you

00:57:58.060 don't say

00:57:58.440 that directly,

00:57:59.640 I believe

00:58:00.780 is misleading

00:58:02.340 when you

00:58:03.740 say.

00:58:05.160 So, let me

00:58:05.740 say it

00:58:06.020 directly.

00:58:06.660 I love

00:58:07.040 black people.

00:58:08.200 Always have.

00:58:10.280 In fact,

00:58:11.040 my personal

00:58:12.080 interactions

00:58:12.860 with black

00:58:15.060 Americans,

00:58:15.960 and even

00:58:16.740 Africans,

00:58:17.260 actually,

00:58:17.920 has been

00:58:18.480 universally

00:58:19.080 positive.

00:58:19.560 universally.

00:58:21.820 I've had,

00:58:22.640 I believe I've

00:58:24.400 had zero

00:58:25.140 bad experiences

00:58:26.080 with any

00:58:26.700 black

00:58:27.120 American.

00:58:28.280 I've had

00:58:28.940 lots of

00:58:29.420 bad experiences

00:58:30.040 with white

00:58:30.720 Americans,

00:58:31.420 like right

00:58:31.900 now.

00:58:32.580 Like right

00:58:33.380 now, this

00:58:33.760 is mostly a

00:58:34.640 problem with

00:58:35.240 white Americans.

00:58:36.680 By the way,

00:58:37.520 the reason that

00:58:38.580 my corporate

00:58:39.400 experience was

00:58:40.980 white people

00:58:41.860 canceling me

00:58:42.680 is that white

00:58:44.560 people with

00:58:45.160 power will

00:58:46.880 cancel any

00:58:48.040 white person

00:58:49.380 without power

00:58:50.120 to protect

00:58:50.700 themselves.

00:58:52.260 Did you know

00:58:53.080 that?

00:58:54.080 I guess all the

00:58:54.860 white people

00:58:55.240 did.

00:58:56.080 But you know

00:58:56.780 that white people 0.52

00:58:57.460 will throw other

00:58:58.280 white people

00:58:58.820 under the bus

00:58:59.500 immediately.

00:59:01.100 Like,

00:59:01.540 immediately.

00:59:03.180 And black

00:59:03.740 people are more,

00:59:04.820 well, let's

00:59:05.920 look at the

00:59:06.380 situation.

00:59:06.920 Because I

00:59:09.580 think white

00:59:10.000 people are

00:59:10.460 trying to get

00:59:11.180 the signaling

00:59:12.180 gain, so

00:59:12.980 they have to

00:59:13.400 hurry.

00:59:14.280 Like, they

00:59:14.660 have to get

00:59:15.040 in fast.

00:59:16.040 And black

00:59:16.540 people are

00:59:16.960 saying, well,

00:59:17.800 I think I

00:59:18.180 should understand

00:59:18.800 this situation.

00:59:20.220 And, you

00:59:20.620 know, then I'll

00:59:20.980 make my opinion.

00:59:22.200 And there's a

00:59:23.160 real difference.

00:59:24.220 There really is a

00:59:24.800 difference.

00:59:25.400 The black people

00:59:26.380 who are weighing

00:59:27.020 in are saying

00:59:28.500 actually smart,

00:59:29.780 useful things,

00:59:30.880 such as, let's

00:59:32.440 hear the whole

00:59:32.880 context.

00:59:34.220 And the white 0.54

00:59:34.720 people are just

00:59:35.260 going fucking

00:59:35.780 nuts.

00:59:36.920 Which is what

00:59:38.160 makes it a good

00:59:38.740 movie.

00:59:40.880 The woke

00:59:41.640 cloak.

00:59:46.060 You said,

00:59:46.860 I've known

00:59:47.220 some people

00:59:47.680 that take

00:59:48.100 advantage of

00:59:48.740 being a

00:59:49.040 minority in

00:59:49.920 an unkind

00:59:50.440 way.

00:59:51.340 Well, I

00:59:51.620 don't know

00:59:51.820 what that

00:59:52.100 means.

00:59:52.720 But if

00:59:53.140 you're not

00:59:53.520 taking advantage

00:59:54.380 of whatever

00:59:55.740 racial benefit 0.86

00:59:56.700 you have,

00:59:58.060 be you black

00:59:58.980 or be you

00:59:59.560 anybody else,

01:00:00.560 you should.

01:00:01.900 Because when

01:00:02.380 it comes to

01:00:02.760 your personal

01:00:03.500 life and your

01:00:04.280 personal success,

01:00:05.260 you can do

01:00:05.580 anything you

01:00:05.980 want that's

01:00:06.520 legal.

01:00:07.440 That's

01:00:07.900 legal.

01:00:09.420 Ideally, you

01:00:10.100 should be

01:00:10.380 ethical as

01:00:10.960 well.

01:00:16.960 Right.

01:00:20.900 What is the

01:00:21.660 financial gain of

01:00:22.700 getting cancelled?

01:00:24.280 Yeah, I don't

01:00:24.860 think there is

01:00:25.300 one.

01:00:29.540 Are you ready

01:00:30.200 for the European

01:00:30.860 river cruise?

01:00:33.740 That's weird.

01:00:34.540 It's like you're

01:00:34.940 reading my mind.

01:00:36.480 There's

01:00:36.880 actually nothing

01:00:37.500 I'd rather do

01:00:38.160 than take a

01:00:38.680 European river

01:00:39.440 cruise right

01:00:40.000 now.

01:00:40.980 Like, that

01:00:41.360 would be way

01:00:42.020 high on my

01:00:42.520 list of cool

01:00:43.060 things to do.

01:00:44.700 That's weird

01:00:45.320 that you would

01:00:45.660 mention that.

01:00:46.380 I was literally

01:00:46.960 just thinking

01:00:47.440 about it

01:00:47.900 like yesterday.

01:00:51.500 All right.

01:00:51.980 I was going to

01:00:53.800 say something

01:00:54.240 about Ukraine

01:00:54.960 and nukes.

01:00:56.340 So I'd like

01:00:57.080 to make you

01:00:57.920 feel better

01:00:58.520 about what

01:00:59.180 is going to

01:00:59.660 look like

01:01:00.100 a nuclear

01:01:00.660 holocaust. 0.61

01:01:02.900 All right.

01:01:04.640 Under all

01:01:05.480 scenarios in

01:01:07.080 Ukraine, we're

01:01:08.220 going to get

01:01:08.640 right to the

01:01:09.280 edge of a

01:01:09.700 nuclear war.

01:01:11.080 You know that,

01:01:11.960 right?

01:01:13.500 So being

01:01:14.660 close to the

01:01:15.360 edge of a

01:01:15.720 nuclear war

01:01:16.300 won't tell

01:01:16.820 you anything

01:01:17.840 about the

01:01:18.700 likelihood of

01:01:19.260 nuclear war.

01:01:21.040 No matter

01:01:21.700 how close

01:01:22.360 we get to

01:01:22.900 it, it

01:01:23.560 doesn't change

01:01:24.160 the odds.

01:01:25.560 That's what

01:01:25.940 you need to

01:01:26.360 know.

01:01:27.260 You're going

01:01:27.620 to think

01:01:27.920 that the

01:01:28.240 closer you

01:01:28.780 get, the

01:01:30.240 more likely

01:01:30.740 it's going

01:01:31.080 to happen.

01:01:32.160 But the

01:01:32.940 only way you

01:01:33.600 get a

01:01:33.920 negotiated

01:01:34.420 settlement is

01:01:35.760 for both

01:01:36.200 sides to

01:01:36.700 think nuclear

01:01:37.260 war is

01:01:37.700 likely.

01:01:39.360 Anything

01:01:39.740 short of

01:01:40.180 that, nobody

01:01:40.620 is going

01:01:40.900 to negotiate.

01:01:42.100 So you

01:01:42.660 have to get

01:01:43.160 to almost

01:01:44.100 nuclear war,

01:01:45.520 whether you're

01:01:46.060 having a

01:01:46.520 nuclear war,

01:01:47.840 or whether

01:01:48.740 you're doing

01:01:49.080 the opposite

01:01:49.620 and negotiating.

01:01:51.880 So when we

01:01:52.760 get right up

01:01:53.700 to the brink

01:01:54.120 of nuclear

01:01:54.620 war, which

01:01:55.360 we will, it

01:01:56.820 doesn't mean

01:01:57.220 it's likely.

01:01:59.120 You get

01:01:59.480 that?

01:02:00.120 It doesn't

01:02:00.840 mean it's

01:02:01.220 likely.

01:02:02.320 It means

01:02:02.760 it had to

01:02:03.340 happen.

01:02:04.360 It just

01:02:04.920 had to

01:02:05.260 happen.

01:02:06.120 In fact,

01:02:06.540 the entire

01:02:06.980 point of

01:02:08.080 nuclear deterrent

01:02:09.020 is that when

01:02:11.100 the risk

01:02:11.560 becomes real,

01:02:12.580 then everybody

01:02:13.280 changes their

01:02:13.960 behavior.

01:02:15.200 Until the

01:02:16.000 risk feels

01:02:16.880 real,

01:02:17.840 people are

01:02:18.360 going to

01:02:18.700 act like

01:02:19.400 it's not

01:02:19.720 there.

01:02:20.560 But the

01:02:20.920 moment it

01:02:21.340 looks like,

01:02:21.820 oh, God,

01:02:22.480 we're like one

01:02:23.020 minute away from

01:02:23.600 nuclear holocaust,

01:02:24.800 then people get

01:02:25.940 flexible, right?

01:02:27.480 Or Putin gets

01:02:28.840 overthrown or

01:02:29.740 something, or we

01:02:30.800 change our

01:02:31.200 president or

01:02:31.940 something.

01:02:33.600 Yeah, Cuban 0.99

01:02:34.100 missile crisis.

01:02:34.880 Yes, thank you.

01:02:35.740 Perfect example.

01:02:36.920 The Cuban

01:02:37.320 missile crisis had

01:02:38.920 to get to a

01:02:39.560 crisis because

01:02:41.500 nothing was going

01:02:42.180 to change

01:02:42.540 otherwise.

01:02:43.800 So don't be

01:02:45.580 afraid of the

01:02:46.160 crisis that's

01:02:46.860 coming, it's

01:02:47.600 going to be

01:02:47.940 manufactured.

01:02:49.260 It's a

01:02:49.620 psychological

01:02:50.100 crisis that we

01:02:51.780 have to pass

01:02:52.560 through to get

01:02:54.500 stuff done.

01:02:57.560 All right.

01:02:58.800 All of you, I

01:02:59.720 expect you to be

01:03:00.520 watching today.

01:03:02.820 I don't know if

01:03:03.520 it's recorded or

01:03:04.260 live, but if it's

01:03:05.580 live, make sure you

01:03:06.360 catch it live.

01:03:08.280 We'll see if...

01:03:10.860 What makes this

01:03:11.740 the third act is

01:03:13.460 that I'm racing to

01:03:15.460 the conclusion at

01:03:17.080 the same time I'm

01:03:17.760 getting cancelled?

01:03:19.060 So it's like a

01:03:20.040 movie where you're

01:03:20.720 running up the

01:03:21.260 stairs and the

01:03:22.020 stairs behind you

01:03:22.800 are crumbling at

01:03:24.300 the same rate that

01:03:25.480 you're running.

01:03:26.020 Ah!

01:03:27.000 Ah!

01:03:27.880 So that's what

01:03:28.520 makes it a good

01:03:29.080 movie.

01:03:29.900 Will I be totally

01:03:31.020 cancelled by the

01:03:31.900 end of the week?

01:03:33.120 Or can I find an

01:03:35.160 impossible way out?

01:03:37.980 What do you

01:03:38.620 think?

01:03:39.960 We shall see.

01:03:41.580 I'm going to say

01:03:42.200 bye to YouTube.

01:03:43.840 I'm going to talk

01:03:44.320 to the special

01:03:45.440 people on the

01:03:46.620 Locals platform

01:03:47.260 for a little bit

01:03:47.880 more.

01:03:49.240 And thanks for

01:03:50.760 joining.
