Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2034 Scott Adams： Now That I Have Your Attention...

00:00:00.000 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the most cancelled person in all of the world.

00:00:09.180 Well, I don't know if that's true, but I'm probably in the top ten.

00:00:12.760 And I'm feeling good. I know I'm not supposed to, but I keep feeling good.

00:00:19.400 Am I allowed to do that? Am I doing it wrong?

00:00:23.080 Am I doing cancellation wrong if I enjoy it?

00:00:25.500 Because I've got to say, I've had more outpouring of love and support than any time in my entire life.

00:00:34.020 Not even close.

00:00:36.080 The amount of love and support I'm getting is through the roof. We'll talk about that.

00:00:42.180 But if you'd like to take your experience to a higher level, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:47.300 a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:50.900 And fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:55.260 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:59.160 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:00.640 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:03.940 And today, I'm going to light the world on fire.

00:01:09.400 Oh, you think I already did?

00:01:11.280 No, not yet.

00:01:12.440 Do you think I've been controversial before this?

00:01:21.360 Well, just wait for today.

00:01:23.820 That's a double sip.

00:01:30.520 Will I be doing something that's dangerous today?

00:01:36.340 Something dangerous?

00:01:38.620 Yeah, yeah, I will.

00:01:39.720 Yeah.

00:01:42.440 Something provocative?

00:01:46.780 Yeah, probably.

00:01:48.400 Probably.

00:01:50.780 But first, we're going to talk about the boring news.

00:01:53.100 Lori Lightfoot got defeated in Chicago 1.00

00:01:55.020 because apparently allowing crime to run free

00:01:58.360 is not as popular as you would have imagined.

00:02:01.800 Not nearly as popular.

00:02:04.080 That's all I have to say about that.

00:02:06.140 Then let's talk about Ukraine.

00:02:07.660 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:08.800 Lies about Ukraine. 0.91

00:02:10.040 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:10.700 Things we can't trust.

00:02:11.740 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:13.020 Russian assault.

00:02:14.120 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:14.680 Ukraine fighting them back.

00:02:16.620 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:17.380 Russian heavy casualties, maybe.

00:02:19.880 Blah, blah, blah.

00:02:20.540 No word about Ukrainian casualties, as usual.

00:02:24.520 Nothing we can believe there.

00:02:26.980 But there is one.

00:02:28.260 There is one maybe interesting element.

00:02:32.580 I keep looking for the collapse points.

00:02:36.660 You know, when you've got this big war,

00:02:38.000 there's lots of moving parts.

00:02:39.920 Sometimes you're close to collapse without knowing it.

00:02:43.700 Because if any one of the components, you know, goes bad,

00:02:46.900 like let's say if the supply chain for the war dried up,

00:02:51.520 you know, because the Ukrainians did a good job,

00:02:53.460 that'd be kind of a collapse point.

00:02:54.860 Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen.

00:02:56.980 I'm just saying there are a number of things that could be collapse points.

00:03:00.080 And one of them is this.

00:03:02.440 So apparently the Wagner group has, you know, got the best fighters,

00:03:05.940 and they're usually the point of the spear doing the attacking.

00:03:10.240 And they're doing an attack in which they're reportedly,

00:03:14.320 again, you can't believe anything out of Ukraine, 0.93

00:03:16.740 but reportedly Wagner group is sending their best troops in on this fight

00:03:21.980 and their heavy casualties.

00:03:24.980 Well, how many of the best troops are left?

00:03:29.220 Now, I know they've been using, allegedly, you know, who knows,

00:03:32.280 but these human waves of people.

00:03:34.380 How many of the best fighters are left?

00:03:39.500 Because the collapse point is when there's not enough of the best fighters

00:03:43.780 because the conscripts aren't going to get it done.

00:03:47.520 So we might be at a point where there are still, you know,

00:03:50.480 hundreds of thousands of soldiers,

00:03:52.800 but 15,000 that know how to fight,

00:03:56.860 that could be 7,000 by the end of the week.

00:04:00.560 That feels like a collapse point, doesn't it?

00:04:03.820 I'm not predicting it.

00:04:05.240 I'm just saying that's one of the things

00:04:06.780 that could make everything suddenly change.

00:04:09.540 A sudden change would be, and I'm just making up numbers,

00:04:13.000 15,000 really good fighters,

00:04:16.100 if you take that down to 7,

00:04:18.220 just through, you know, attrition and death,

00:04:21.680 do they have anything?

00:04:23.360 You know, at that point, are they just done?

00:04:24.980 They can't fight at that point?

00:04:27.000 I mean, we might be getting close to that.

00:04:28.580 But again, no information that comes out of Ukraine is reliable.

00:04:33.540 Rasmussen has a poll, says that 47% of Republicans

00:04:36.980 at least somewhat agree that red states and blue states

00:04:41.080 need a national divorce, 1.00

00:04:43.320 as do 26% of Democrats and 27% of voters not affiliated.

00:04:49.540 Now, I don't take any of this too seriously,

00:04:53.100 this whole national divorce thing.

00:04:54.660 Isn't that the entire point of having different states?

00:04:59.680 And isn't it working well?

00:05:02.040 Are people not moving from California to Texas and Florida?

00:05:06.660 I mean, I realize that, you know,

00:05:08.600 if you're lower income, that's not an option.

00:05:11.160 But it does seem like the free market

00:05:13.000 is starting to do the thing it's supposed to do,

00:05:15.480 which is to sort things out

00:05:17.380 when we get to a situation like this.

00:05:19.220 Now, I think it's sorting it out too slowly.

00:05:23.160 You know, you can't instantly move to another place

00:05:25.360 and blah, blah, blah.

00:05:26.520 But I don't really see the problem.

00:05:29.200 This feels like a manufactured problem, doesn't it?

00:05:32.420 You know, I get the rhetoric,

00:05:33.840 and, you know, we can't get along and all that.

00:05:35.940 But has that ever been any different in America?

00:05:38.860 You know, when did we all get along?

00:05:41.400 I don't remember that time.

00:05:42.660 So, I don't think anything actually will happen

00:05:46.920 from the national divorce thing,

00:05:49.320 but it's fun to talk about.

00:05:52.380 Well, since I, apparently,

00:05:56.300 I'm still one of the biggest stories in the country,

00:06:00.460 is everybody okay if I talk about me

00:06:02.240 as long as I'm provocative and I cause more trouble?

00:06:06.520 I think you'd enjoy that.

00:06:08.540 I'm going to be provocative and cause more trouble.

00:06:10.440 But I'll lead into it this way.

00:06:12.780 So, Hotep Jesus, as you know,

00:06:15.260 interviewed me, and he's the only interview

00:06:17.340 on anywhere in which I've actually

00:06:20.420 given my comments in full.

00:06:22.700 So, there's only one source,

00:06:24.980 if you want to know the context of my current drama.

00:06:28.340 It's Hotep Jesus' interview on YouTube.

00:06:30.740 Just Google it, you'll find it.

00:06:32.760 But Hotep tweeted this morning,

00:06:35.960 after my interview with Scott Adams,

00:06:37.540 the extreme left thinks I'm a sellout

00:06:39.900 for white supremacy,

00:06:40.840 and the extreme right thinks I'm a black supremacist.

00:06:44.680 What does this mean?

00:06:46.980 What does it mean?

00:06:50.220 That's a real question.

00:06:51.340 What does it mean?

00:06:52.920 Well, the first thing it means

00:06:54.460 is what we've known for a while,

00:06:56.400 which is the facts don't matter to the opinion.

00:07:00.780 Right?

00:07:01.360 Because they're both looking at the same set of facts,

00:07:03.420 and they're arriving at opposite movies, right?

00:07:06.040 Two movies.

00:07:07.260 So, this is my lead-in to Don't Trust Anything.

00:07:12.400 And now I'm going to explain to the people

00:07:14.480 who are not media geeks like I am

00:07:17.700 how the cancellation works.

00:07:20.800 This is the inside story

00:07:23.420 that you won't hear anywhere else.

00:07:25.440 I promise you won't hear this anywhere else.

00:07:27.940 This is the inside story

00:07:29.420 of how a cancellation works.

00:07:32.300 And if you haven't heard the whole layout,

00:07:34.760 it feels like there's no story here, right?

00:07:36.760 It looks pretty straightforward.

00:07:39.040 If you were, let's say, not a media student,

00:07:43.860 you know, you were just watching the news,

00:07:45.280 but you didn't study the news,

00:07:47.660 you would say that a cancellation

00:07:50.160 is this simple situation.

00:07:52.780 Somebody did something bad,

00:07:55.380 the public noticed,

00:07:57.720 then the public reacted

00:07:59.300 to get rid of this bad actor, right?

00:08:03.340 And that's the way the newspapers are reporting it.

00:08:06.380 I did something bad, they say,

00:08:08.640 you know, they don't,

00:08:09.520 because they omit the context,

00:08:11.800 but they say I did something bad,

00:08:13.260 and then good people react,

00:08:15.560 oh, terrible,

00:08:17.000 and then they remove me.

00:08:19.120 Do you think that explains

00:08:20.460 what actually happens in the real world?

00:08:23.280 Does that sound like something

00:08:24.600 that actually happened to me?

00:08:27.540 Nope.

00:08:28.580 Not one of those things happened to me.

00:08:31.440 Let me tell you the inside story

00:08:33.380 of what happened to me.

00:08:36.020 Who was the first entity to cancel me?

00:08:39.220 Do you remember?

00:08:39.660 I believe it was the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

00:08:44.840 Now, is that a Democrat-leaning town?

00:08:49.600 Cleveland?

00:08:50.780 53% black.

00:08:53.200 Yeah, it's a Democrat town, right?

00:08:55.300 Now, when the Washington Post canceled me,

00:08:57.900 and I think the Washington Post

00:08:58.940 is the one that mattered,

00:09:00.560 because they're the ones who made it

00:09:02.260 sort of okay for everybody else to do it.

00:09:04.580 Now, what has been my opinion

00:09:07.680 of the Washington Post,

00:09:09.900 which I've said many, many times

00:09:11.700 in the past five years?

00:09:14.060 I've called them fake news.

00:09:16.120 At the same time,

00:09:17.240 they were paying me.

00:09:20.040 So at the same time

00:09:21.160 the Washington Post was paying me,

00:09:23.340 I was calling them fake news

00:09:24.980 probably every week for years,

00:09:28.200 because it was.

00:09:29.500 The reason I call them fake news

00:09:31.860 is because it actually is.

00:09:33.940 Like, actually, literally,

00:09:35.140 they make up the news.

00:09:37.140 Now, how many of you didn't know that?

00:09:39.820 Is there anybody here who doesn't know

00:09:41.400 that the news industry

00:09:43.700 literally makes up the news?

00:09:45.660 Or they don't bother to check it or something.

00:09:47.780 But it's wrong.

00:09:49.580 Well, there's an article in Fortune

00:09:52.300 that just came out a few weeks ago,

00:09:55.800 two weeks ago.

00:09:56.360 And it says that trust in media is so low

00:09:59.880 that half of Americans now believe

00:10:02.120 that news organizations

00:10:03.220 deliberately mislead them.

00:10:06.340 Half?

00:10:07.700 But what's wrong with the other half?

00:10:10.340 How could only half of the people

00:10:11.940 in the United States

00:10:12.600 know that the news

00:10:13.540 misleads them intentionally?

00:10:15.760 How could you not know that?

00:10:19.300 Who in the world doesn't know

00:10:20.740 that the news is basically all fake

00:10:23.040 if it's political?

00:10:24.440 Did you hear that?

00:10:26.360 All of the news is fake

00:10:29.300 if it's political.

00:10:31.300 Because the news organizations

00:10:32.680 don't even pretend

00:10:33.740 to be non-political.

00:10:35.840 It's just a narrative.

00:10:37.580 So if the news tells you something about,

00:10:39.860 let's say, a disaster,

00:10:41.560 and there's no political element,

00:10:43.480 it's probably right.

00:10:44.880 It's probably true.

00:10:46.100 But if the news reports anything

00:10:47.800 that has a political element to it,

00:10:50.420 they're not even trying.

00:10:52.400 There's no attempt,

00:10:53.720 not really,

00:10:54.520 to tell you the real news.

00:10:55.960 It's all narrative.

00:10:57.340 Now, I'm surprised that half of the country

00:10:58.920 is not even aware of that,

00:11:00.700 which perfectly explains my situation.

00:11:04.040 Imagine if the whole country knew

00:11:05.560 that the news was made up

00:11:06.900 whenever it's political.

00:11:08.920 Like, literally,

00:11:09.620 it's just made up.

00:11:10.220 How would they treat my situation

00:11:12.820 if they knew

00:11:13.800 that I was one of the most effective voices

00:11:17.200 for Trump, in particular?

00:11:21.220 How would they treat me?

00:11:23.680 Well, there's no news organization

00:11:25.400 that leans left

00:11:26.980 that would treat the story

00:11:28.560 as an objective news story.

00:11:30.660 They would treat it as advocates

00:11:32.280 for Democrats.

00:11:33.700 And the first thing you need to do

00:11:35.520 is get rid of me

00:11:37.320 from the public stage

00:11:38.780 right before a big election.

00:11:41.700 How many of you

00:11:43.000 knew immediately

00:11:44.740 that this was political?

00:11:47.620 Now, it's not entirely political.

00:11:49.940 Yeah, let me be clear.

00:11:51.260 It's political

00:11:52.120 at the cancellation level.

00:11:54.220 It's not political

00:11:54.960 at the public level.

00:11:56.400 The public is responding

00:11:57.560 to what they see.

00:11:59.300 Right?

00:11:59.520 The public's just responding.

00:12:00.960 But when the Washington Post

00:12:02.360 cancels me,

00:12:03.060 they're canceling somebody

00:12:04.160 who was their biggest critic.

00:12:07.200 Maybe not the biggest.

00:12:08.680 But I'm one of the biggest critics

00:12:10.080 because they make up the news.

00:12:14.000 So the fake news

00:12:15.360 made up some fake news,

00:12:17.940 which is easy to do.

00:12:19.180 You just leave out the context,

00:12:20.540 in my case.

00:12:21.780 So you just leave out the context,

00:12:23.160 which is how they create fake news.

00:12:25.160 And then they canceled me

00:12:26.660 for calling them fake news.

00:12:29.400 Now, not only for that reason,

00:12:30.780 but you know that they needed

00:12:32.120 to get rid of any capable voices

00:12:34.060 that might be opposed to them.

00:12:36.820 Now, did anybody actually say that out loud

00:12:38.940 at the Washington Post?

00:12:40.600 Did anybody sit in a meeting and say,

00:12:42.720 you know,

00:12:43.700 I think we've got to get rid of this guy

00:12:45.080 because he's got, you know,

00:12:46.380 a strong political voice?

00:12:48.360 No, I don't think so.

00:12:49.460 I don't think so.

00:12:50.340 I doubt there was any, like,

00:12:51.980 direct conversation.

00:12:53.800 But how easy is it to cancel

00:12:55.260 the person who's your biggest critic?

00:12:56.700 Should you take the opinion

00:13:00.680 from somebody who I've been criticizing

00:13:02.660 vocally and publicly for five years?

00:13:05.520 In no case is that a reliable voice.

00:13:11.020 But how about the other voices?

00:13:12.800 Are they more reliable?

00:13:15.320 Well, let's take a look

00:13:16.580 at some of the biggest ones.

00:13:19.060 There was CNN.

00:13:19.640 And do I criticize CNN

00:13:23.900 for fake news

00:13:25.080 almost every day

00:13:27.780 for years?

00:13:30.700 Yes, yes.

00:13:32.040 Is CNN an unbiased source of news

00:13:34.660 or do they lean left?

00:13:37.900 Well, they tried a little bit

00:13:39.300 to be unbiased,

00:13:40.100 but no, they're not biased.

00:13:42.220 How about Jake Tapper

00:13:43.800 of CNN?

00:13:45.320 I guess he went at me pretty hard.

00:13:46.700 I didn't see it,

00:13:47.440 but I heard that.

00:13:48.880 Is Jake Tapper

00:13:49.920 a credible voice

00:13:51.160 on this topic?

00:13:53.340 What do you think?

00:13:54.580 Is Jake Tapper

00:13:55.400 a believable,

00:13:56.660 credible voice

00:13:57.360 on this exact topic?

00:13:59.260 Well, let me tell you

00:14:00.100 something you didn't know.

00:14:02.580 Prior to any of this,

00:14:04.680 a few years ago,

00:14:05.940 I canceled Jake Tapper

00:14:07.600 personally

00:14:08.300 from my own life,

00:14:09.960 blocked him on social media,

00:14:11.580 because, you know,

00:14:12.160 we'd had a number

00:14:13.360 of interactions privately.

00:14:15.020 And I blocked him

00:14:17.040 because he falsely accused me

00:14:18.780 of being a racist

00:14:19.620 in person,

00:14:21.680 like, individually.

00:14:23.660 He falsely,

00:14:24.620 and here's why I say falsely.

00:14:26.700 The context was

00:14:27.940 I was complaining

00:14:28.740 about CNN's coverage

00:14:30.340 of the fake news

00:14:31.780 that Trump called

00:14:33.640 neo-Nazis fine people.

00:14:36.200 Now, if you're not up

00:14:37.040 with the fake news,

00:14:38.220 that never happened.

00:14:39.260 It was a video edit.

00:14:40.920 They just clip out the part

00:14:41.980 where he says,

00:14:42.580 I'm not talking

00:14:43.200 about the neo-Nazis.

00:14:44.220 So they take that out,

00:14:45.540 and it looks like he is.

00:14:46.920 That's the little trick.

00:14:48.260 So CNN has been running

00:14:49.400 this obvious fake news

00:14:50.900 for years,

00:14:52.840 and I saw this new package

00:14:54.760 that was on there,

00:14:55.380 a package using

00:14:56.260 the industry term,

00:14:57.920 and there was a voiceover

00:14:59.340 from some woman

00:15:00.240 who was voicing

00:15:01.980 the fake news again

00:15:03.540 about that hoax.

00:15:05.360 And I complained to him,

00:15:07.460 and he said,

00:15:09.220 would you have said that

00:15:10.420 if the person

00:15:11.880 who did the report

00:15:13.380 had not been black?

00:15:17.400 Now,

00:15:18.240 I think my jaw

00:15:20.540 dropped to the floor

00:15:21.620 because, number one,

00:15:23.240 I was not aware

00:15:24.260 of her ethnicity at all.

00:15:25.660 I'd heard a voice.

00:15:27.320 You know,

00:15:27.740 the TV voices,

00:15:29.040 they all sound the same.

00:15:30.680 You know,

00:15:30.860 anybody who's on TV,

00:15:32.460 they adopt that

00:15:33.240 sort of generic voice.

00:15:34.400 So I had no,

00:15:36.000 I didn't know

00:15:36.580 who she was before that.

00:15:38.140 Abby somebody?

00:15:39.580 I forget her last name.

00:15:41.140 But I was only responding

00:15:42.920 to the content

00:15:43.720 that it was obviously

00:15:45.320 fake news,

00:15:46.200 and it was very bad

00:15:46.940 for me personally

00:15:47.680 because the fake news

00:15:49.440 was painting me

00:15:50.260 as a racist.

00:15:51.780 Do you get that?

00:15:52.700 I was a supporter of Trump.

00:15:55.140 The fake news said

00:15:56.560 that he said

00:15:57.200 neo-Nazis are good people,

00:15:59.080 and therefore,

00:15:59.840 as a supporter,

00:16:01.160 I get slimed

00:16:02.100 by the fake news racism.

00:16:03.300 So I was complaining

00:16:04.820 about being accused

00:16:06.280 of being a racist

00:16:08.380 unfairly,

00:16:09.400 and while I was

00:16:10.500 complaining about

00:16:11.680 being accused unfairly,

00:16:13.960 he accused me unfairly.

00:16:16.300 So I cancelled him,

00:16:18.340 and then when this happened,

00:16:19.940 he once again,

00:16:20.780 I assume,

00:16:21.300 left out the content.

00:16:23.120 It was Abby Phillips.

00:16:24.320 Somebody's reminding me.

00:16:26.200 It was Abby Phillips,

00:16:27.400 I believe.

00:16:28.400 And so he cancelled me

00:16:32.620 based on fake news

00:16:33.680 a third time.

00:16:35.680 This is the third time

00:16:37.040 Jake Tapper

00:16:37.940 has directly or indirectly

00:16:39.900 cancelled me

00:16:40.580 for fake news.

00:16:41.860 Once by associating me

00:16:43.340 with the fake news

00:16:44.300 of Trump

00:16:45.740 and the neo-Nazis.

00:16:47.360 Once by imagining

00:16:48.520 I was racist

00:16:49.780 because somehow

00:16:51.900 the race of the reporter

00:16:53.920 would make a difference.

00:16:55.420 Like, I don't even know

00:16:56.200 how that would make

00:16:56.820 a difference.

00:16:57.980 Because no matter

00:16:58.680 who said it,

00:16:59.400 it was still wrong.

00:17:00.200 And I was only talking

00:17:01.680 about what they said

00:17:02.480 and whether it was

00:17:03.020 factually right.

00:17:04.180 So this is the third time

00:17:05.980 Jake Tapper

00:17:07.500 has slimed me

00:17:08.600 with the wrong context

00:17:11.160 and fake news

00:17:12.120 for the same thing.

00:17:15.340 Now,

00:17:16.080 I've never known

00:17:17.560 a worse piece of shit.

00:17:19.400 I have to say,

00:17:21.020 he is a piece of shit.

00:17:22.720 And I don't say that

00:17:23.580 about many people.

00:17:24.860 And let me say this

00:17:25.760 as clearly as I can.

00:17:28.180 White people 0.90

00:17:28.880 are fucking awful.

00:17:30.760 White people suck. 0.99

00:17:32.680 I'll tell you.

00:17:33.580 They will immediately

00:17:35.020 run to their little cave

00:17:36.520 and start yelling

00:17:38.020 at anybody

00:17:38.640 to get an advantage.

00:17:40.400 White people 0.90

00:17:40.980 are pretty close

00:17:41.860 to a fucking hate group

00:17:43.020 at this point.

00:17:45.300 But how about the press?

00:17:47.860 Is the press

00:17:48.880 a hate group?

00:17:50.860 I would say yes.

00:17:52.940 I would say

00:17:53.440 the left-leaning press

00:17:55.320 is a hate group

00:17:56.100 against the right.

00:17:56.940 And I would say

00:17:57.880 the right-leaning press

00:17:59.300 has got some stuff

00:18:00.380 to answer for, too.

00:18:02.000 Might be a little bit

00:18:03.240 too much hate-y,

00:18:04.680 if you know what I mean.

00:18:05.700 So I'm not going to let

00:18:06.580 the left or right

00:18:07.380 off the hook.

00:18:08.560 I believe they both

00:18:09.440 present clickbait news

00:18:12.440 to their people.

00:18:13.880 And how is it not

00:18:15.120 going to be racially charged?

00:18:17.900 How is it not?

00:18:19.500 You can't really help it.

00:18:21.060 So I think the press

00:18:22.160 is a hate group.

00:18:23.500 I think white people

00:18:24.680 are a hate group.

00:18:25.640 But of course,

00:18:27.400 in all things,

00:18:28.440 since I hope most of you

00:18:30.320 are not NPCs,

00:18:31.320 are there any NPCs

00:18:32.380 watching?

00:18:33.280 Non-player characters?

00:18:35.500 Because I'll present this

00:18:37.280 differently for the NPCs.

00:18:39.800 It has to be simplified

00:18:40.700 for them.

00:18:42.120 But for the rest of you,

00:18:44.680 I'll keep it more nuanced.

00:18:48.980 All right, then I also saw

00:18:51.020 that Dean Obadiah,

00:18:52.440 Obadiah,

00:18:53.840 Dean Obadiah,

00:18:55.980 I can't pronounce

00:18:57.080 his last name.

00:18:58.260 So do you know

00:18:59.020 what his role is

00:18:59.920 on CNN usually?

00:19:01.560 You recognize the name?

00:19:03.020 If you were not

00:19:03.940 a student of the news,

00:19:05.900 you would think,

00:19:07.040 hey, here's this

00:19:07.700 prominent person

00:19:08.480 who's saying bad things

00:19:09.920 about Scott Adams,

00:19:10.960 so that's probably true.

00:19:12.620 But would you be aware

00:19:14.000 that Dean Obadiah

00:19:16.100 is who they send out

00:19:18.040 when they just want

00:19:20.280 somebody to say

00:19:21.440 crazy shit?

00:19:23.280 He's basically

00:19:24.240 their attack dog

00:19:25.280 for crazy shit. 0.58

00:19:27.160 If the only thing

00:19:28.260 you knew

00:19:28.660 is that Dean Obadiah

00:19:29.940 was against me

00:19:30.840 and you were also

00:19:32.140 a student of the news,

00:19:33.780 you would conclude

00:19:34.620 that I was right

00:19:35.540 without even hearing

00:19:36.640 my argument.

00:19:38.280 It's sort of like

00:19:39.020 the worse than

00:19:39.720 Watergate guy.

00:19:41.740 You know,

00:19:42.020 when CNN sends

00:19:42.900 the worse than

00:19:43.440 Watergate guy out,

00:19:44.620 you know it's fake news.

00:19:46.100 They don't get

00:19:47.140 the worse than

00:19:47.660 Watergate guy out

00:19:48.620 unless it's fake news.

00:19:50.260 They don't ask

00:19:51.200 Dean Obadiah

00:19:52.240 to write an opinion piece

00:19:54.240 unless it's fake news.

00:19:57.960 We'll hide that user.

00:20:00.900 So he's like

00:20:02.260 this great,

00:20:03.240 you know,

00:20:03.700 shining bright light

00:20:06.040 that says

00:20:07.200 whatever this guy says

00:20:08.440 is the opposite of true

00:20:09.560 because that's his role.

00:20:11.600 I mean,

00:20:11.880 his actual role

00:20:12.660 is to spew bullshit. 0.71

00:20:14.080 That's like

00:20:15.020 I don't know that

00:20:16.380 I don't think

00:20:17.040 it's his job description

00:20:18.080 but it's clearly

00:20:19.700 the role he's been

00:20:20.500 filling for years.

00:20:22.340 Yeah,

00:20:22.540 and I'll make

00:20:23.000 a distinction.

00:20:26.240 Somebody like

00:20:27.020 Wolf Blitzer

00:20:27.700 is there to

00:20:28.780 report the news

00:20:29.820 and I suspect

00:20:30.880 he tries

00:20:31.480 hard to

00:20:32.680 report it straight.

00:20:34.780 But Dean Obadiah,

00:20:36.040 that's a different

00:20:36.720 situation.

00:20:38.100 All right,

00:20:38.260 how about this?

00:20:38.840 The New York Times

00:20:41.220 also dunked on me.

00:20:43.420 Is the New York Times

00:20:44.240 a source of real news

00:20:45.560 or fake news?

00:20:48.220 Real or fake?

00:20:49.260 New York Times.

00:20:50.840 Yeah.

00:20:51.360 Anybody who actually

00:20:52.560 follows the news business

00:20:54.140 knows that they

00:20:55.660 are basically

00:20:56.560 a source of fake news.

00:20:58.400 Somewhat consistently.

00:21:00.260 Again,

00:21:00.860 only on political stuff.

00:21:03.120 Political and also

00:21:04.580 weapons of mass destruction stuff,

00:21:07.800 which I guess is

00:21:08.500 political in a way.

00:21:11.480 We'll get rid of

00:21:12.300 this troll.

00:21:13.560 Got a lot of trolls today.

00:21:15.460 I'm attracting

00:21:16.080 a lot of energy.

00:21:17.300 Yeah,

00:21:17.500 the New York Times

00:21:18.100 is a fake news

00:21:19.180 organization.

00:21:20.080 In fact,

00:21:20.660 they were one of the

00:21:21.620 main perpetrators

00:21:23.600 of it's fake news

00:21:25.080 to say that

00:21:25.720 the lab leak

00:21:26.380 came from Wuhan.

00:21:27.960 So the New York Times

00:21:28.840 was slapping that down

00:21:30.160 as fake news

00:21:31.340 when in fact

00:21:31.920 they were the fake news.

00:21:34.300 So,

00:21:35.180 I'm giving you,

00:21:36.880 so the first thing

00:21:37.860 you need to know

00:21:38.520 is that the,

00:21:40.440 oh,

00:21:40.640 let me,

00:21:41.700 let me tell you

00:21:43.300 how the cascade goes.

00:21:45.440 So there's a cascade effect

00:21:47.280 when the notion

00:21:49.460 of cancelling

00:21:50.300 somebody comes up.

00:21:51.660 So I'll tell you

00:21:52.480 how the cascade

00:21:53.120 worked in my case.

00:21:55.700 There were,

00:21:56.500 of course,

00:21:56.640 individuals

00:21:57.220 who were complaining.

00:21:58.540 But the people

00:21:59.080 making the decisions

00:22:00.400 were the ones

00:22:02.600 who are politically

00:22:03.900 lined against me.

00:22:05.000 would anybody

00:22:06.200 disagree with that?

00:22:07.520 Well,

00:22:07.700 let me give you

00:22:08.120 some context.

00:22:09.780 So far,

00:22:10.640 nobody prominent

00:22:11.840 on the right

00:22:12.740 has criticized me

00:22:15.320 except for

00:22:16.020 maybe the way

00:22:16.880 I said it.

00:22:17.980 There's nobody

00:22:18.520 on the right

00:22:18.920 who disagrees

00:22:19.620 with the content

00:22:20.680 of what I said

00:22:21.500 after they've seen

00:22:22.820 it in context.

00:22:23.820 Would you agree

00:22:24.300 that nobody

00:22:25.520 on the right,

00:22:26.860 not black,

00:22:27.840 not white,

00:22:29.160 nobody black 0.98

00:22:29.920 or white

00:22:30.500 on the political

00:22:31.920 right

00:22:32.280 has disagreed

00:22:33.140 with my point,

00:22:35.600 but some have

00:22:36.220 disagreed

00:22:36.680 with the way

00:22:37.060 I said it,

00:22:38.040 which is actually

00:22:38.880 valid.

00:22:40.060 Do you know

00:22:40.360 why it's valid

00:22:41.020 that they disagree

00:22:42.240 with the way

00:22:42.760 I said it?

00:22:44.120 Do you know

00:22:44.660 why I'm agreeing

00:22:45.240 with that?

00:22:46.600 Because the way

00:22:47.320 I said it

00:22:47.880 was to provoke.

00:22:49.940 And they're saying,

00:22:50.880 you shouldn't

00:22:51.220 have provoked.

00:22:52.800 And I'm saying,

00:22:53.960 I hear you

00:22:55.320 that what I did

00:22:56.020 provoked,

00:22:57.480 but if you think

00:22:58.640 I shouldn't

00:22:59.200 have done it,

00:23:00.280 then you're

00:23:00.640 probably a cowardly

00:23:01.960 fuck who doesn't

00:23:03.340 want to speak truth

00:23:04.300 and is afraid of it.

00:23:06.740 So there's that.

00:23:08.920 Anyway,

00:23:09.680 I don't expect

00:23:10.640 to be monetized today,

00:23:11.840 so we'll see

00:23:12.360 how this goes.

00:23:13.440 But let me tell you

00:23:14.260 how the cascade goes.

00:23:15.140 So first,

00:23:15.560 the people who are

00:23:16.080 politically aligned

00:23:17.220 against me,

00:23:18.280 coincidentally,

00:23:19.940 are also the

00:23:20.700 cancelers.

00:23:21.780 Oh, coincidentally,

00:23:22.760 they're politically

00:23:23.320 aligned against me.

00:23:24.440 But only the people

00:23:25.600 who are politically

00:23:26.300 aligned against me.

00:23:28.040 Now, it starts

00:23:28.880 with only that,

00:23:30.080 right?

00:23:31.100 So do you think

00:23:32.060 this is about race?

00:23:34.860 If it were about race, 0.61

00:23:36.340 don't you think

00:23:36.840 black conservatives

00:23:37.920 would have something

00:23:39.180 to say about me?

00:23:43.020 Do you think

00:23:43.780 black conservatives

00:23:44.720 don't know

00:23:45.320 what racism is

00:23:46.380 because they're

00:23:47.440 conservative?

00:23:48.840 That's not a thing.

00:23:50.620 Black conservatives

00:23:51.360 know what racism is.

00:23:53.960 Does anybody

00:23:54.680 disagree with

00:23:55.400 that statement?

00:23:55.860 And they looked

00:23:57.540 at the situation

00:23:58.300 and they said,

00:23:58.900 well, suboptimal

00:24:00.300 the way you said it,

00:24:01.980 but, you know,

00:24:02.760 we get your point.

00:24:04.720 Right?

00:24:05.320 Now, you're also

00:24:06.080 seeing Megyn Kelly

00:24:08.860 made a strong point.

00:24:11.840 Newsweek actually said

00:24:12.880 I shouldn't be

00:24:13.400 canceled.

00:24:14.480 Did you see that

00:24:15.060 today?

00:24:16.080 So an article

00:24:16.960 in Newsweek said

00:24:17.760 I shouldn't be

00:24:18.260 canceled.

00:24:18.580 and that it was

00:24:20.860 racist to cancel

00:24:21.700 me,

00:24:23.000 interestingly.

00:24:24.000 So there will be

00:24:24.780 a little turn

00:24:25.340 in the news.

00:24:26.020 Anyway, so first

00:24:26.760 the cascade starts

00:24:27.780 with people who

00:24:28.420 are clearly

00:24:29.500 more politically

00:24:30.520 motivated than

00:24:31.580 racially motivated.

00:24:32.820 And you can know

00:24:33.700 that because

00:24:34.580 the conservative

00:24:35.360 blacks didn't 1.00

00:24:37.760 have the same

00:24:38.260 problem.

00:24:39.200 It's clearly

00:24:39.840 lined up by

00:24:40.580 politics,

00:24:41.120 not by race.

00:24:43.100 And so that's

00:24:44.540 the beginning

00:24:44.980 of the cascade.

00:24:45.820 And then the

00:24:46.100 cascade goes to

00:24:46.980 the people

00:24:48.120 who don't know

00:24:48.820 me.

00:24:50.020 So they don't

00:24:50.720 know anything

00:24:51.100 about me.

00:24:51.700 They're just

00:24:51.960 being introduced.

00:24:53.460 And they don't

00:24:54.280 know the context.

00:24:56.040 So if the

00:24:56.800 newspapers say,

00:24:57.660 hey, he did

00:24:58.080 this bad thing,

00:24:59.340 the people who

00:24:59.900 don't know me

00:25:00.440 personally,

00:25:01.100 which would

00:25:01.640 debunk it

00:25:02.560 just by that,

00:25:03.680 and the people

00:25:04.380 who don't know

00:25:04.820 my context,

00:25:06.700 and also 50%

00:25:08.100 of the country

00:25:08.640 thinks that the

00:25:09.860 news is real.

00:25:11.220 They still think

00:25:12.080 it's real.

00:25:15.900 All right.

00:25:16.980 So then they

00:25:18.120 join on because

00:25:19.000 they don't know

00:25:19.520 me and they

00:25:20.540 don't know the

00:25:21.000 story, but they

00:25:21.740 get pretty mad.

00:25:23.220 Then you get

00:25:23.760 what I call the

00:25:24.340 dopamine gooners.

00:25:26.080 The dopamine

00:25:26.740 gooners are

00:25:28.080 really easy to

00:25:28.800 identify on

00:25:29.440 Twitter.

00:25:30.580 They're the

00:25:30.860 people who

00:25:31.320 seem to be

00:25:31.920 enjoying the

00:25:32.540 hell and

00:25:33.640 of destroying

00:25:34.340 my life.

00:25:36.160 Maybe they're

00:25:36.900 politically on

00:25:38.180 the other side.

00:25:38.800 Maybe it's just

00:25:39.320 because I was

00:25:40.140 successful.

00:25:41.340 Maybe it's just

00:25:41.880 because they're

00:25:42.240 horrible, horrible

00:25:43.020 people.

00:25:43.820 But you can tell

00:25:44.740 they're enjoying

00:25:45.460 it.

00:25:45.860 So you can't

00:25:47.260 really take that

00:25:47.880 group seriously,

00:25:48.740 can you?

00:25:50.200 Can you take

00:25:51.020 seriously a group

00:25:52.720 that's tweeting

00:25:53.260 with one hand

00:25:54.060 and using the

00:25:55.180 other hand for

00:25:55.680 something else?

00:25:56.320 I mean, that's

00:25:56.660 purely a pleasure

00:25:58.000 loop that has

00:26:01.340 nothing to do

00:26:01.880 with me or

00:26:02.360 what happened.

00:26:03.400 And I think it's

00:26:03.960 independent of me

00:26:04.760 in some ways,

00:26:05.860 because they're

00:26:06.340 just looking for

00:26:06.940 the new thing to

00:26:07.680 beat off to,

00:26:08.460 basically.

00:26:09.620 So first you have

00:26:10.880 the political people

00:26:12.140 who cancel me,

00:26:13.340 then the people

00:26:13.880 who don't know the

00:26:14.500 story who join in,

00:26:15.720 then you've got

00:26:16.100 the dopamine

00:26:16.640 gooners who are

00:26:17.460 just enjoying

00:26:18.320 the attack.

00:26:20.320 Then you have,

00:26:21.300 the next level

00:26:22.120 is where it gets

00:26:22.740 bad.

00:26:23.720 So the next part

00:26:24.340 of the cascade

00:26:24.920 is what I'll

00:26:25.920 call the innocent

00:26:26.700 bystanders who

00:26:27.640 get caught in

00:26:28.160 the crossfire.

00:26:29.720 In this case,

00:26:30.660 the innocent

00:26:31.140 bystanders included

00:26:32.960 my syndication

00:26:34.440 company.

00:26:35.660 So the company

00:26:36.480 that was distributing

00:26:37.240 to the newspapers.

00:26:39.000 And again,

00:26:40.280 I'll say this

00:26:40.920 again,

00:26:41.180 my syndication

00:26:43.020 company has

00:26:43.940 been great.

00:26:45.580 Like from

00:26:46.100 the first

00:26:47.200 contact with

00:26:48.160 them,

00:26:48.460 you know,

00:26:48.760 decades ago,

00:26:49.900 just a real

00:26:50.880 quality organization.

00:26:52.280 One of the best

00:26:52.780 organizations I've

00:26:53.680 ever had

00:26:55.140 any contact

00:26:56.000 with.

00:26:57.080 But they didn't

00:26:57.820 have a choice.

00:26:59.140 Right?

00:26:59.400 The pressure

00:26:59.980 was on.

00:27:00.840 So they're in

00:27:01.360 the innocent

00:27:01.860 bystander,

00:27:03.200 I would say

00:27:03.780 victim.

00:27:04.720 I would say

00:27:05.320 they're victims

00:27:05.920 of this.

00:27:07.280 But they have

00:27:07.940 to do what

00:27:08.280 they have to do.

00:27:09.120 Now,

00:27:09.280 I haven't talked

00:27:09.800 to anybody

00:27:10.600 at my publisher.

00:27:12.480 But,

00:27:12.840 so I don't

00:27:14.360 know if they

00:27:14.940 were buying

00:27:15.360 into the

00:27:15.740 narrative or

00:27:16.620 if they were

00:27:17.980 just caught

00:27:18.320 in the crossfire.

00:27:21.500 Then you get,

00:27:22.480 apparently there's

00:27:23.200 a bubble in

00:27:23.920 New York City.

00:27:25.820 The New York

00:27:26.620 City liberals

00:27:27.360 are just insane

00:27:28.980 about this story.

00:27:30.540 So because

00:27:31.180 most publishing

00:27:32.220 has a strong

00:27:33.660 New York City

00:27:34.560 connection,

00:27:36.120 it's impossible

00:27:37.160 for publishers

00:27:38.000 to support me

00:27:39.480 at this point.

00:27:40.080 It's just

00:27:40.420 impossible.

00:27:41.680 The fact that

00:27:43.500 my business

00:27:44.760 had any

00:27:45.780 concentration

00:27:46.540 that involved

00:27:47.200 New York City,

00:27:48.240 especially the

00:27:48.880 publishing part,

00:27:50.320 makes it just

00:27:51.340 impossible.

00:27:52.640 There's no

00:27:53.240 rationality going

00:27:54.080 on there at all.

00:27:55.720 All right,

00:27:55.960 so that's the

00:27:56.340 New York City

00:27:56.800 crazies.

00:27:57.740 And then you

00:27:58.440 get the race

00:27:59.040 grifters.

00:28:00.560 So a lot of

00:28:01.260 the news cycle

00:28:02.300 is run by

00:28:03.380 the race grifters. 0.98

00:28:04.160 And interestingly,

00:28:06.080 two race grifters

00:28:07.000 from the

00:28:08.600 anti-Semitic

00:28:10.100 world

00:28:11.840 have come over

00:28:13.140 to join in the

00:28:14.420 attack

00:28:14.820 because they're

00:28:15.780 race grifters.

00:28:16.920 So the race grifters 0.99

00:28:17.940 have to get in

00:28:18.640 on any of these

00:28:19.380 topics, right?

00:28:20.180 And they're always

00:28:20.920 going to be on the

00:28:21.380 same side.

00:28:22.340 Yeah, Al Sharpton.

00:28:23.180 I think Al Sharpton

00:28:23.920 weighed in today.

00:28:25.140 So all of the

00:28:26.000 race grifters

00:28:26.660 are going to get in.

00:28:27.200 But the funny

00:28:27.720 part is that

00:28:29.380 Jonathan Greenblatt

00:28:30.880 of the ADL,

00:28:32.960 like the Jewish 1.00

00:28:34.260 community, I think,

00:28:35.440 was feeling left

00:28:36.120 out because I

00:28:37.580 said literally

00:28:38.200 nothing about them

00:28:39.100 whatsoever.

00:28:39.820 And I'm one of the

00:28:40.580 biggest supporters

00:28:41.380 of the Jewish

00:28:41.980 community, huge

00:28:43.200 supporter of Israel.

00:28:44.300 And I think they

00:28:45.020 were just left

00:28:45.540 out because the

00:28:46.300 grifters, like all

00:28:47.960 the black race

00:28:49.560 grifters were like

00:28:51.220 having a heyday.

00:28:52.260 And they're like,

00:28:53.140 yeah, this is good.

00:28:54.740 And the Jewish

00:28:56.240 race grifters

00:28:57.180 were like, hey,

00:28:59.280 I've got to get

00:28:59.760 in on this.

00:29:00.540 So they looked

00:29:01.220 around and they

00:29:01.960 found something

00:29:02.720 long ago that

00:29:04.660 I'd said,

00:29:05.640 essentially, it

00:29:07.120 must be really

00:29:07.740 hard to count the

00:29:08.780 number of dead

00:29:09.560 from the Holocaust.

00:29:11.120 So whether it's

00:29:12.480 5 million or

00:29:13.220 10 million, it's

00:29:14.860 the same story,

00:29:16.020 right?

00:29:16.420 It doesn't change

00:29:17.360 anything if you're

00:29:18.700 off by half a

00:29:19.680 million, right?

00:29:20.940 Nothing changes.

00:29:22.460 But that got

00:29:23.260 turned into

00:29:23.920 Holocaust denier.

00:29:25.120 Is there anybody

00:29:27.120 thinks you could

00:29:28.180 count accurately

00:29:29.160 all the dead

00:29:29.880 from World War

00:29:30.560 II in any

00:29:31.420 category?

00:29:32.580 Whether it's the

00:29:33.560 Jewish dead or

00:29:34.640 any other dead,

00:29:35.800 do you think you

00:29:36.360 could get an

00:29:36.840 accurate count from

00:29:38.540 World War II?

00:29:40.300 No.

00:29:40.600 Now, of course,

00:29:42.080 I'm saying this

00:29:42.640 again, and that'll

00:29:43.300 get turned into

00:29:44.300 he's a Holocaust 1.00

00:29:46.480 denier.

00:29:47.280 I've never met

00:29:48.160 anybody who denied

00:29:48.940 the Holocaust. 0.58

00:29:50.140 Have you?

00:29:50.500 Have you ever

00:29:51.960 even met, like,

00:29:53.060 a real person

00:29:53.820 who denied that

00:29:55.360 it even happened?

00:29:56.600 You actually have.

00:29:57.540 Some people have.

00:29:58.640 Well, I've never

00:29:59.240 even met one.

00:30:00.360 I've never even

00:30:01.080 met one.

00:30:02.040 To me, it's just

00:30:02.700 crazy.

00:30:04.240 But so today I'm

00:30:05.120 being accused of

00:30:05.960 that because the

00:30:07.680 race grifters, like, 1.00

00:30:09.340 felt left out, so

00:30:10.280 they had to throw

00:30:11.360 in some new stuff.

00:30:12.960 I'm waiting for

00:30:13.820 the gender grifters. 0.64

00:30:15.880 Have you noticed

00:30:16.420 that the gender

00:30:17.100 grifters have been

00:30:17.960 silent?

00:30:18.360 I don't know

00:30:20.240 why.

00:30:20.900 I was expecting

00:30:21.560 more gender

00:30:22.160 grifters to get

00:30:22.960 in here and say,

00:30:23.500 well, he said

00:30:24.140 that one time,

00:30:25.060 that thing one 0.89

00:30:25.700 time.

00:30:27.040 All right.

00:30:28.280 So then after

00:30:30.460 the race grifters 0.99

00:30:31.200 get in, you get

00:30:32.000 the NPCs.

00:30:33.300 So the NPCs are

00:30:34.500 the people who

00:30:35.060 are operating at

00:30:35.820 the lowest level

00:30:36.760 of politics, and

00:30:38.240 I'm going to

00:30:38.600 give you the

00:30:40.080 five things that

00:30:41.760 the NPCs say

00:30:43.220 because they

00:30:43.720 can't understand

00:30:44.560 any nuance.

00:30:47.120 They say,

00:30:47.880 I made a racist

00:30:48.860 rant.

00:30:51.340 If you don't

00:30:52.180 say why I

00:30:53.600 said it, or

00:30:54.680 you don't put

00:30:55.160 it in the

00:30:55.520 context that

00:30:56.220 the whole point

00:30:56.760 was to get

00:30:57.260 away from

00:30:57.720 racists, you're

00:30:59.800 an NPC.

00:31:01.980 There's just

00:31:02.540 no way around.

00:31:03.580 If that's your

00:31:04.360 level of

00:31:04.800 understanding of

00:31:05.480 this story, and

00:31:07.940 you don't know

00:31:08.460 that I was

00:31:09.040 talking against

00:31:10.080 hate and

00:31:10.820 against

00:31:11.200 discrimination,

00:31:12.580 and then the

00:31:13.280 news reversed

00:31:14.000 it, if you

00:31:14.740 don't know

00:31:15.060 that, you're

00:31:15.520 an NPC.

00:31:15.920 The other

00:31:17.800 NPC is

00:31:19.580 complaining that

00:31:20.720 I'm complaining

00:31:22.860 about being the

00:31:23.680 victim.

00:31:26.080 That is the

00:31:26.940 most NPC

00:31:27.640 thing you

00:31:28.160 can say

00:31:28.460 about this.

00:31:29.700 He's

00:31:30.040 complaining about

00:31:30.820 being the

00:31:31.240 victim.

00:31:32.320 First of all,

00:31:33.760 have I

00:31:34.140 complained?

00:31:36.280 When did I

00:31:37.020 complain?

00:31:37.380 I've

00:31:37.900 described, but

00:31:41.420 that's the

00:31:41.820 news.

00:31:42.800 The headline is

00:31:43.760 the news, right?

00:31:44.520 I'm telling

00:31:45.400 you what

00:31:45.720 happened.

00:31:47.080 How is

00:31:47.780 telling you

00:31:48.300 what happened

00:31:48.900 being a

00:31:50.160 victim?

00:31:51.600 And by

00:31:52.060 the way,

00:31:53.260 I would

00:31:55.640 say the

00:31:55.940 victims here

00:31:56.640 are black

00:31:57.300 America.

00:31:59.140 I would

00:31:59.820 say the

00:32:00.140 victim of

00:32:00.700 this story

00:32:01.120 is black

00:32:01.600 America.

00:32:02.520 Did black 1.00

00:32:03.060 America get 0.56

00:32:03.860 a better

00:32:04.420 reputation

00:32:05.020 because of

00:32:05.580 this?

00:32:06.820 Do black 1.00

00:32:07.580 Americans look 0.98

00:32:08.400 better because

00:32:10.400 of this?

00:32:11.460 I don't think

00:32:12.340 so.

00:32:12.540 I think

00:32:13.980 this was

00:32:14.440 a black

00:32:14.940 eye for

00:32:15.380 black

00:32:15.780 Americans.

00:32:16.720 Only on

00:32:17.220 the left.

00:32:18.300 Because remember,

00:32:19.040 the black

00:32:19.420 Americans on

00:32:20.000 the right who

00:32:20.680 looked at the

00:32:21.220 context, they

00:32:22.200 were fine.

00:32:24.060 They're like,

00:32:24.740 hey, free

00:32:25.080 speech.

00:32:26.060 Maybe I

00:32:26.640 wouldn't have

00:32:26.920 said it that

00:32:27.320 way, but I

00:32:27.760 get your

00:32:28.040 point.

00:32:28.980 They were

00:32:29.240 fine.

00:32:31.740 So I

00:32:32.340 think black 0.76

00:32:33.640 Americans who

00:32:34.520 lean left are

00:32:36.060 the victims of

00:32:36.780 this.

00:32:37.880 Now, those

00:32:39.140 of you who've

00:32:39.840 known me for

00:32:40.440 years, answer

00:32:41.840 this question.

00:32:42.600 You won't

00:32:43.240 see the same

00:32:43.940 answers on

00:32:44.520 the locals

00:32:45.240 platform, but

00:32:46.840 answer this

00:32:47.880 question, yes

00:32:48.480 or no.

00:32:49.740 I have been a

00:32:50.760 strong ally of

00:32:52.100 black Americans

00:32:52.840 for years, very

00:32:54.300 prominently.

00:32:55.260 Yes or no?

00:32:57.380 100% yes on

00:32:58.460 locals?

00:32:59.840 How about

00:33:00.140 YouTube?

00:33:00.960 Now, YouTube, you

00:33:01.700 don't know me as

00:33:02.380 well, but the

00:33:03.760 ones who think

00:33:04.420 yes, check the

00:33:06.280 other comments.

00:33:08.440 Because there

00:33:09.040 aren't that many

00:33:09.540 people who would

00:33:10.020 be trolls or

00:33:10.800 lying about it.

00:33:12.680 Now, when you

00:33:13.780 read any of the

00:33:14.360 news stories, did

00:33:15.240 you see this

00:33:15.700 context?

00:33:17.240 And do you

00:33:17.520 think it's an

00:33:18.020 important context

00:33:18.880 that I've been

00:33:19.640 one of the

00:33:20.080 strongest allies

00:33:21.160 of black

00:33:22.920 America for

00:33:23.840 years?

00:33:24.960 For years.

00:33:26.820 I mean, I

00:33:27.260 supported Colin

00:33:28.160 Kaepernick.

00:33:29.080 I worked with

00:33:29.920 Black Lives

00:33:30.500 Matter trying to

00:33:31.260 make a difference.

00:33:32.440 I supported

00:33:33.040 prison reform.

00:33:34.920 I mean, you

00:33:35.180 could go right

00:33:35.600 down the line.

00:33:36.600 I actually wrote

00:33:37.240 in favor of

00:33:37.900 reparations, but

00:33:38.740 not the way it's

00:33:39.660 formulated today.

00:33:40.520 And I've

00:33:44.500 personally invested

00:33:45.460 in America would

00:33:46.380 be the biggest

00:33:46.880 benefactor, which

00:33:48.220 is a big reason

00:33:48.900 it's worth doing.

00:33:50.320 Because I think

00:33:50.900 that's the biggest

00:33:52.060 hole and the

00:33:53.280 most important

00:33:53.940 thing to fix.

00:33:55.180 Now, if you

00:33:56.400 take my voice

00:33:57.220 away, is

00:33:57.820 black America

00:33:58.540 better or

00:33:59.180 worse?

00:33:59.460 I mean, you

00:34:04.840 know, who's

00:34:05.400 the victim?

00:34:06.880 I'm still

00:34:07.580 rich.

00:34:08.960 I'm still

00:34:09.640 rich.

00:34:10.480 But the people

00:34:11.120 I was trying to

00:34:11.800 help, they're

00:34:12.880 fucked.

00:34:14.060 Because they're

00:34:14.660 not going to get

00:34:15.120 the same help.

00:34:16.260 Or are they?

00:34:18.040 Or are they?

00:34:20.860 Because we're

00:34:23.020 going to get

00:34:23.340 provocative here in

00:34:24.220 a minute.

00:34:24.520 we're going to

00:34:27.500 get provocative.

00:34:29.440 All right, so

00:34:30.000 here's something

00:34:31.300 else the NPC

00:34:31.980 say.

00:34:33.920 First Amendment

00:34:34.740 doesn't apply.

00:34:36.260 These are private

00:34:36.860 companies making

00:34:37.660 decisions.

00:34:38.940 When did I

00:34:39.600 complain about

00:34:40.940 that distinction?

00:34:42.660 Now, in the

00:34:45.200 real world, if

00:34:45.920 you're not an

00:34:46.400 NPC, there's

00:34:48.200 of course the

00:34:49.020 legal First

00:34:49.900 Amendment free

00:34:50.760 speech, and

00:34:51.820 everybody knows

00:34:52.940 that that doesn't

00:34:53.920 apply to private

00:34:54.580 companies, but

00:34:55.580 the reality is

00:34:56.520 that the private

00:34:57.080 companies are such

00:34:57.940 gatekeepers that

00:34:59.400 it's as if it's

00:35:00.740 the same.

00:35:02.380 So the NPC

00:35:03.120 can't understand

00:35:04.000 that even though

00:35:04.760 it's not technically

00:35:05.540 true, it's as if

00:35:07.560 it's the same.

00:35:08.980 If you can be

00:35:09.900 shut up by

00:35:10.840 various private

00:35:12.180 entities,

00:35:12.660 what good is

00:35:13.980 free speech?

00:35:14.820 Do you?

00:35:15.940 What the hell are

00:35:16.640 you going to do

00:35:17.000 with your free

00:35:17.440 speech if you

00:35:18.340 can't use any

00:35:18.960 means of

00:35:19.520 communication?

00:35:21.560 So of course

00:35:22.460 it's the same

00:35:23.440 thing in

00:35:23.820 practice.

00:35:25.740 The others say

00:35:26.560 that I should

00:35:27.600 stop complaining,

00:35:28.660 which I haven't

00:35:29.280 done.

00:35:29.760 I haven't

00:35:30.120 complained, not

00:35:31.000 once, because

00:35:33.680 I'm the cause

00:35:34.620 of my own

00:35:35.060 problems.

00:35:36.740 Do you think

00:35:37.480 I'm not aware

00:35:38.180 that I triggered

00:35:38.900 all of this?

00:35:40.460 Now, I would

00:35:41.000 say there are

00:35:41.480 lots of broken

00:35:42.160 things in the

00:35:42.800 world that

00:35:43.200 contributed to

00:35:43.940 the outcome,

00:35:45.040 but certainly

00:35:45.900 in terms of

00:35:46.600 responsibility,

00:35:48.260 that's all

00:35:48.960 me.

00:35:51.000 Did anybody

00:35:51.860 hear me not

00:35:52.580 take responsibility

00:35:53.600 for my own

00:35:54.380 actions?

00:35:55.480 Is that me?

00:35:56.700 That's literally

00:35:57.320 the opposite of

00:35:58.260 everything I've

00:35:58.780 ever said my

00:35:59.420 entire whole

00:36:00.000 life.

00:36:01.100 Now, I take

00:36:01.920 responsibility for

00:36:03.060 my action

00:36:03.680 100%.

00:36:04.760 100%.

00:36:06.280 I own it, and

00:36:08.240 you haven't

00:36:08.620 heard me

00:36:08.940 apologize, have

00:36:09.740 you?

00:36:10.580 Have I

00:36:10.960 apologized to

00:36:11.680 anybody?

00:36:12.920 Nope.

00:36:13.900 I own my

00:36:14.920 opinion, and

00:36:16.980 I'm the only

00:36:17.400 person in the

00:36:17.920 world that can

00:36:18.360 do that right

00:36:18.880 now, because

00:36:19.940 I'm willing to

00:36:20.420 pay the price.

00:36:21.580 You can't

00:36:22.340 afford it.

00:36:22.840 I don't

00:36:23.140 recommend it.

00:36:24.960 All right.

00:36:26.440 Here's what I

00:36:27.180 learned in sort

00:36:29.180 of trying to

00:36:29.720 educate myself

00:36:30.540 about what

00:36:31.040 works and what

00:36:31.620 doesn't.

00:36:31.900 And this is

00:36:33.560 a gross

00:36:34.080 generalization,

00:36:35.280 and therefore

00:36:36.240 it does not

00:36:36.980 apply to all

00:36:37.660 people.

00:36:38.780 So the NPCs

00:36:40.120 won't be able

00:36:40.560 to hear that

00:36:40.980 part.

00:36:41.820 They're going

00:36:42.140 to say, why

00:36:43.100 are you saying

00:36:43.620 that's true of

00:36:44.220 all those

00:36:44.640 people?

00:36:45.680 After I said,

00:36:46.900 I'm not

00:36:47.180 referring to

00:36:48.280 all the people,

00:36:49.540 but they'll

00:36:49.940 still say that.

00:36:51.240 It goes like

00:36:51.880 this.

00:36:54.120 Black 0.64

00:36:54.600 Americans don't 1.00

00:36:55.400 want advice

00:36:55.980 from white

00:36:56.480 Americans.

00:36:57.860 True or

00:36:58.500 false?

00:36:59.700 Now, again,

00:37:00.460 this is an

00:37:01.020 overgeneralization.

00:37:01.900 There are

00:37:02.480 plenty of

00:37:03.340 black Americans

00:37:04.000 who have

00:37:04.900 literally asked

00:37:05.720 me for

00:37:06.080 advice, and

00:37:07.520 almost all of

00:37:08.160 them have

00:37:08.420 gotten it, I

00:37:08.940 think.

00:37:09.420 Maybe all of

00:37:10.000 them.

00:37:11.700 So this is

00:37:12.800 not about

00:37:13.200 individuals.

00:37:15.040 This is sort

00:37:15.600 of a group.

00:37:16.760 And by the

00:37:17.900 way, I

00:37:18.200 respect that.

00:37:19.640 I respect

00:37:20.120 that.

00:37:21.960 Because do

00:37:23.100 white Americans

00:37:23.820 understand what's

00:37:25.340 going on in

00:37:26.240 the black

00:37:26.560 community?

00:37:27.940 Maybe like a

00:37:29.020 little, but not

00:37:29.720 much.

00:37:30.180 I feel like

00:37:32.200 that's an

00:37:32.560 actual, completely

00:37:34.080 valid thing to

00:37:35.240 say.

00:37:36.680 How about, now

00:37:38.100 what is it that

00:37:39.060 black Americans

00:37:39.780 do want?

00:37:41.380 What do they

00:37:42.200 want if they

00:37:42.720 don't want

00:37:43.160 white advice?

00:37:44.340 Because you

00:37:44.820 know why they

00:37:45.140 don't want

00:37:45.480 white advice?

00:37:47.440 It sucks.

00:37:49.400 It sucks.

00:37:50.500 Let me give you

00:37:50.980 some white

00:37:51.440 advice.

00:37:53.100 I wrote down

00:37:54.060 some good

00:37:54.460 white advice.

00:37:55.320 Here's why

00:37:55.820 maybe it's not

00:37:56.760 so good.

00:37:57.620 Here's some

00:37:58.020 good white

00:37:58.420 advice.

00:37:58.820 Change your

00:37:59.620 culture.

00:38:01.920 Oh, there's

00:38:02.320 some good

00:38:02.640 advice.

00:38:03.900 I'm going to

00:38:04.340 go right out

00:38:04.820 and go do

00:38:05.820 that.

00:38:07.340 How about

00:38:07.880 stay married

00:38:09.420 or it's the

00:38:10.260 welfare state?

00:38:11.920 Now, these

00:38:12.280 things all have

00:38:14.220 some element

00:38:14.900 of truth,

00:38:15.600 right?

00:38:16.800 It's just that

00:38:17.480 they're not

00:38:17.840 actionable.

00:38:19.520 Do you get

00:38:19.960 that?

00:38:21.060 These sound

00:38:21.580 like, you

00:38:22.560 know, in

00:38:23.000 some cases

00:38:24.120 they're just

00:38:24.520 racist statements.

00:38:25.920 But even if

00:38:26.580 you're trying to

00:38:27.000 be helpful,

00:38:27.480 like even

00:38:28.480 if there's

00:38:29.100 somebody who's

00:38:29.480 non-racist

00:38:30.280 who says,

00:38:31.360 oh, you've

00:38:31.660 got to help

00:38:31.940 the culture.

00:38:32.660 How would

00:38:33.120 you do

00:38:33.420 that?

00:38:34.740 How do

00:38:35.120 you do

00:38:35.360 that?

00:38:36.380 This is a

00:38:36.960 useless piece

00:38:37.700 of advice.

00:38:38.940 Am I

00:38:39.420 right?

00:38:41.500 To me, it's

00:38:42.220 useless.

00:38:43.520 See, the

00:38:44.220 problem is

00:38:44.820 that if you

00:38:45.460 make the

00:38:45.840 distinction

00:38:46.300 between what's

00:38:47.620 true and

00:38:49.280 what's useful,

00:38:50.740 you have to

00:38:51.140 make that

00:38:51.480 distinction.

00:38:52.280 It might be

00:38:53.140 true that the

00:38:54.780 culture has an

00:38:55.720 impact.

00:38:56.840 But if it's

00:38:57.560 not a lever

00:38:58.120 you can move,

00:38:59.840 look for

00:39:00.260 something you

00:39:00.740 can actually

00:39:01.200 make a

00:39:01.620 difference.

00:39:02.480 It's not

00:39:02.880 going to

00:39:03.020 make any

00:39:03.340 difference.

00:39:04.180 Like, what

00:39:04.760 do you do?

00:39:05.120 Wake up and

00:39:05.640 change your

00:39:06.060 culture?

00:39:07.080 Like, how

00:39:07.340 does that

00:39:07.640 work?

00:39:09.680 All right,

00:39:10.240 and how

00:39:10.580 about, you

00:39:11.060 know, stay

00:39:11.560 married?

00:39:13.660 Has that

00:39:14.240 helped?

00:39:15.120 For how

00:39:15.520 many years

00:39:16.040 have Democrats

00:39:16.560 or Republicans

00:39:17.560 said, you

00:39:18.520 know, family

00:39:19.040 unit is

00:39:19.460 important, stay

00:39:20.140 married?

00:39:21.000 Has that

00:39:21.600 ever helped?

00:39:23.160 That's never

00:39:23.900 helped, right?

00:39:24.700 It's only

00:39:25.100 going in the

00:39:25.560 other direction.

00:39:26.780 So, it's

00:39:27.880 true advice, like

00:39:30.220 if you could

00:39:30.680 magically stay

00:39:32.040 married, that

00:39:33.320 would be a

00:39:33.760 good idea, but

00:39:34.780 we don't have

00:39:35.360 magic.

00:39:36.360 So, this is

00:39:36.860 not useful

00:39:37.420 advice.

00:39:37.880 This is dumb

00:39:38.480 ass white 0.85

00:39:38.960 advice.

00:39:39.880 This is just

00:39:40.420 dumb ass white 0.94

00:39:41.200 advice.

00:39:42.280 Totally.

00:39:42.980 It's just

00:39:43.320 political thinking

00:39:45.880 and then words

00:39:46.640 come out of

00:39:47.040 your mouth, and 0.61

00:39:48.120 they might even

00:39:48.700 be based on

00:39:49.320 something true.

00:39:50.800 Doesn't matter.

00:39:52.280 Doesn't matter

00:39:52.920 at all, because

00:39:53.820 it's not useful.

00:39:55.320 It's just

00:39:55.680 completely not

00:39:56.500 useful.

00:39:57.940 All right, how

00:39:58.280 about, and

00:39:58.660 then there's

00:39:59.260 observations about

00:40:01.360 the welfare

00:40:01.840 state, and

00:40:02.780 maybe it rewards

00:40:03.960 people for not

00:40:04.940 being married.

00:40:05.760 There's probably

00:40:06.280 something to

00:40:06.860 that, right?

00:40:08.240 Do you think

00:40:08.700 we're going to

00:40:09.040 fix that?

00:40:11.600 How do you

00:40:12.240 fix it?

00:40:12.640 Not give help

00:40:13.500 to people who

00:40:14.280 are single and

00:40:15.900 have a kid?

00:40:17.240 I mean, we're

00:40:17.740 not going to

00:40:18.100 stop doing it.

00:40:19.520 So, you've

00:40:20.260 got to find

00:40:20.700 something that

00:40:21.380 works.

00:40:22.280 That isn't

00:40:23.020 dumbass white 0.93

00:40:23.960 advice.

00:40:25.760 This is just

00:40:26.600 really dumbass

00:40:27.360 advice.

00:40:27.960 It's terrible.

00:40:30.060 So, if you

00:40:30.840 ask, what do

00:40:31.380 blacks want? 1.00

00:40:32.620 Again, this is

00:40:33.700 not all black 0.80

00:40:34.420 Americans.

00:40:35.320 There's great

00:40:35.980 diversity within

00:40:36.860 black Americans.

00:40:37.880 But there's one

00:40:38.660 answer I hear

00:40:39.140 more than

00:40:39.620 another.

00:40:41.100 That what black 1.00

00:40:42.180 people want from

00:40:43.340 white people is 0.88

00:40:44.040 not advice,

00:40:45.160 definitely not

00:40:46.280 advice, it's

00:40:48.200 money.

00:40:48.520 money.

00:40:49.680 It's money.

00:40:50.900 Because you

00:40:51.440 can't fix

00:40:51.880 anything without

00:40:52.540 money.

00:40:53.940 Right?

00:40:54.400 Now, I'm not

00:40:55.020 talking about

00:40:55.480 reparations,

00:40:56.200 specifically,

00:40:57.100 although that

00:40:57.540 would fit within

00:40:58.420 money, of

00:40:59.020 course.

00:40:59.840 But black 0.99

00:41:00.680 Americans say,

00:41:01.740 we can take

00:41:02.240 care of it.

00:41:03.000 Now, this would

00:41:03.460 be more of a

00:41:03.960 conservative take.

00:41:05.200 But we can

00:41:05.880 take care of it,

00:41:07.020 but it will

00:41:07.600 require some

00:41:08.160 funding, you

00:41:09.280 know, then

00:41:09.540 there'll be a

00:41:09.920 lot of work at

00:41:10.540 the local levels

00:41:11.360 and stuff, and

00:41:11.840 we'll take care

00:41:12.280 of it.

00:41:12.540 But here's my

00:41:15.520 complaint with

00:41:16.140 that.

00:41:17.380 Is that

00:41:17.800 working?

00:41:19.100 Like, I don't

00:41:19.620 see that working.

00:41:20.960 Do you?

00:41:22.420 Basically,

00:41:23.180 nothing's worked.

00:41:24.960 No white advice 0.99

00:41:26.020 has ever worked.

00:41:27.500 And for whatever

00:41:28.300 reason, black

00:41:29.000 America seems to

00:41:29.900 be not being able

00:41:31.280 to capitalize on

00:41:32.600 the fact that

00:41:33.080 white Americans

00:41:33.700 would give them

00:41:34.460 money if there's

00:41:36.180 something that's

00:41:36.760 worth funding.

00:41:38.160 Like, it has to

00:41:38.660 make sense.

00:41:40.360 Would white

00:41:40.900 Americans fund

00:41:41.880 school choice?

00:41:44.420 It's already

00:41:45.080 happening.

00:41:46.200 Do you know

00:41:46.500 why?

00:41:47.120 It's a good

00:41:47.780 idea.

00:41:49.020 That's all.

00:41:50.140 It's a good

00:41:50.680 idea.

00:41:51.900 So you can get

00:41:52.600 funding for

00:41:53.180 anything that's

00:41:53.820 a good idea.

00:41:55.080 Can you get

00:41:55.620 funding for

00:41:56.140 something that's

00:41:56.660 a bad idea?

00:41:58.100 Well, sometimes.

00:41:59.340 But it's

00:41:59.720 harder.

00:42:01.420 So if all

00:42:03.540 black America

00:42:05.080 has is bad

00:42:06.120 ideas, bad

00:42:07.500 ideas suggested

00:42:08.460 by white people,

00:42:09.360 the worst of

00:42:09.960 them, and then

00:42:11.300 bad ideas, only

00:42:12.600 in the sense

00:42:13.080 that whatever

00:42:13.480 they're doing

00:42:13.900 isn't working

00:42:14.460 yet, right?

00:42:15.980 So I don't

00:42:17.120 have details on

00:42:17.920 why it doesn't,

00:42:19.000 but it's not.

00:42:20.560 So there's

00:42:21.140 basically nothing

00:42:21.860 working at the

00:42:22.580 moment.

00:42:23.580 So since I

00:42:25.580 believe that

00:42:26.400 black Americans

00:42:27.080 do not need

00:42:27.900 advice from

00:42:29.060 white people,

00:42:29.820 I'm not going

00:42:30.800 to give them

00:42:31.160 any.

00:42:32.160 But I'm going

00:42:32.900 to make some

00:42:33.320 observations.

00:42:34.940 My observations

00:42:36.000 would apply to

00:42:37.120 all people.

00:42:38.740 So not all

00:42:39.640 black people,

00:42:40.600 but all

00:42:40.960 people.

00:42:41.940 So I'm

00:42:42.240 going to make

00:42:42.520 some general

00:42:43.280 observations about

00:42:44.360 what works and

00:42:46.060 what doesn't.

00:42:47.560 All right?

00:42:53.680 Here's what

00:42:54.300 works for

00:42:56.340 everybody.

00:42:57.940 However, there

00:42:59.180 would be a

00:42:59.600 great many

00:43:00.000 details that

00:43:00.920 are being left

00:43:01.440 out.

00:43:02.260 And those

00:43:03.860 are the details

00:43:04.440 that I think

00:43:05.000 black Americans

00:43:05.820 would need to

00:43:06.920 work out without

00:43:07.920 a whole bunch

00:43:08.840 of bad white

00:43:09.400 advice.

00:43:10.980 Basically,

00:43:11.720 everybody who

00:43:12.420 succeeds, no

00:43:13.840 matter what

00:43:14.340 their color or

00:43:15.120 what their

00:43:15.520 situation, they

00:43:16.900 do it the same

00:43:17.600 way.

00:43:18.140 They avoid crime.

00:43:19.180 They avoid

00:43:19.580 getting addicted

00:43:20.220 to drugs or

00:43:21.440 alcohol.

00:43:22.580 They don't have

00:43:23.240 kids before they

00:43:24.020 can afford it.

00:43:25.840 And staying

00:43:26.300 married is, of

00:43:26.980 course, a big

00:43:27.380 advantage.

00:43:28.380 They focus on

00:43:29.220 learning, not

00:43:30.280 just in school,

00:43:31.280 but forever, just

00:43:32.460 adding skills,

00:43:33.320 adding skills all

00:43:34.120 the time.

00:43:35.000 And then they

00:43:35.660 exhibit character,

00:43:36.500 which is

00:43:36.980 basically doing

00:43:37.700 what you say

00:43:38.200 you're going

00:43:38.480 to do, which

00:43:39.580 is pretty much

00:43:40.100 it, right?

00:43:40.580 Just doing

00:43:41.000 what you say

00:43:41.440 you're going

00:43:41.680 to do.

00:43:42.360 And if you

00:43:43.060 do these

00:43:43.440 five things,

00:43:44.600 whether you're

00:43:45.840 white or

00:43:46.520 black in

00:43:47.040 America, you're 0.98

00:43:48.160 going to

00:43:48.340 come out

00:43:48.620 okay.

00:43:49.580 But here's

00:43:50.140 the problem.

00:43:51.220 Is this

00:43:51.700 actionable?

00:43:53.700 It takes

00:43:54.180 more than

00:43:54.660 this to make

00:43:55.420 all this

00:43:55.740 work.

00:43:56.140 Like, you

00:43:56.440 need to have

00:43:57.460 some kind

00:43:57.840 of situation

00:43:58.440 where it's

00:43:58.800 easier to

00:43:59.340 avoid addiction

00:44:00.080 and easier

00:44:00.900 to stand a

00:44:01.540 crime.

00:44:02.140 And I

00:44:02.340 think black 0.76

00:44:02.760 America is

00:44:04.000 starting, like,

00:44:05.620 way behind

00:44:06.280 because of

00:44:07.740 systemic racism.

00:44:09.160 Would you

00:44:09.500 agree?

00:44:10.200 Would you

00:44:10.800 agree that

00:44:11.180 systemic racism,

00:44:13.180 and especially

00:44:13.760 the effect on

00:44:14.480 the school

00:44:14.840 system through

00:44:15.740 the teachers

00:44:16.400 unions, puts

00:44:18.000 black Americans

00:44:18.880 way too often

00:44:19.840 in situations

00:44:20.620 where it's

00:44:21.140 hard to do

00:44:22.580 the things

00:44:23.340 that everybody

00:44:23.820 does?

00:44:24.200 it's harder

00:44:26.760 for them to

00:44:27.240 do the

00:44:27.500 things that

00:44:28.000 everybody does

00:44:28.660 to succeed.

00:44:29.960 But it

00:44:30.400 should be

00:44:30.760 known that

00:44:32.460 they should

00:44:32.900 all learn

00:44:33.380 these five.

00:44:35.500 So, well,

00:44:36.600 that sounds

00:44:36.960 like advice.

00:44:37.820 I'll make

00:44:38.180 an observation.

00:44:40.340 If a black 0.99

00:44:41.740 kid does not

00:44:42.420 learn that

00:44:43.260 everybody who

00:44:43.860 does these

00:44:44.340 things succeeds,

00:44:45.360 just about

00:44:45.860 everybody,

00:44:47.060 that would be

00:44:47.600 a huge,

00:44:48.500 huge disadvantage.

00:44:50.200 Do you think

00:44:50.660 white people

00:44:51.200 learn this?

00:44:51.700 What do

00:44:53.300 you think?

00:44:54.060 Do you think

00:44:54.560 white people

00:44:55.180 learn these

00:44:56.080 five tricks

00:44:57.840 for success?

00:44:59.520 I think so.

00:45:01.240 The answer

00:45:01.960 is yes.

00:45:03.140 I think yes.

00:45:04.360 Now, some

00:45:04.780 of that is

00:45:05.160 the luxury

00:45:05.680 that you did

00:45:06.320 not have

00:45:06.740 systemic racism

00:45:08.180 weighing you

00:45:08.760 down.

00:45:09.760 But if you're

00:45:10.620 around successful

00:45:11.760 people, which

00:45:13.140 I would argue

00:45:13.720 is one of the

00:45:14.380 biggest negative

00:45:15.840 impacts of

00:45:16.480 systemic racism,

00:45:17.740 is that white

00:45:18.660 people are a

00:45:19.300 little more

00:45:19.740 likely statistically

00:45:20.860 to have

00:45:22.160 contact with

00:45:23.480 somebody who

00:45:23.960 has also

00:45:24.440 succeeded in

00:45:25.420 an important

00:45:25.880 way.

00:45:26.640 If you're in

00:45:27.440 a low-income

00:45:27.940 neighborhood,

00:45:28.660 you might not

00:45:29.400 even know

00:45:29.780 anybody successful

00:45:30.580 except a drug

00:45:31.260 dealer or a

00:45:32.660 pimp.

00:45:33.680 So who are you

00:45:34.260 going to look

00:45:34.600 up to?

00:45:36.100 If you put me

00:45:37.020 in that situation,

00:45:38.000 I couldn't get

00:45:38.780 out.

00:45:39.600 I would be an

00:45:40.700 awesome drug

00:45:41.280 dealer.

00:45:42.960 I might be the

00:45:43.820 best drug dealer

00:45:44.500 ever, but I

00:45:45.660 don't think I

00:45:46.120 could get out

00:45:46.760 if you put me

00:45:47.940 in the same

00:45:48.320 situation.

00:45:48.840 And here's

00:45:51.840 my second

00:45:53.100 observation.

00:45:56.360 So the first

00:45:56.960 observation is if

00:45:57.860 you're not doing

00:45:58.320 that stuff, you

00:45:58.980 really don't have

00:45:59.520 a chance.

00:46:00.880 So that's a good

00:46:01.460 framework of just

00:46:02.260 figuring out what

00:46:03.700 you're doing.

00:46:05.100 All right.

00:46:06.040 Secondly, I would

00:46:06.980 say this of all

00:46:07.900 people.

00:46:09.040 All right.

00:46:09.640 This is applicable

00:46:10.520 to black America,

00:46:11.620 but it is a general

00:46:12.600 statement of all

00:46:13.840 people.

00:46:15.140 It goes like

00:46:16.020 this.

00:46:18.420 A success

00:46:19.020 strategy, there

00:46:19.800 are two kinds of

00:46:20.540 success strategies.

00:46:21.840 One focuses

00:46:22.640 backwards and

00:46:24.220 one focuses

00:46:24.900 forwards.

00:46:26.400 A backwards 0.99

00:46:27.200 example would

00:46:28.800 be if you're

00:46:29.340 focusing on the

00:46:30.780 causes of your

00:46:32.400 current situation,

00:46:34.200 historical racism.

00:46:36.000 And if you're

00:46:36.720 looking at CRT,

00:46:37.660 ESG, and DEI,

00:46:38.780 these are programs

00:46:39.840 for companies and

00:46:40.800 education which

00:46:42.220 focus on a victim

00:46:43.240 frame.

00:46:43.720 The victim

00:46:44.740 frame is always

00:46:45.560 backwards looking.

00:46:48.020 If the way you

00:46:49.180 talk about your

00:46:49.860 situation is as a

00:46:51.780 victim or as the

00:46:53.880 legacy of things

00:46:55.400 from the past,

00:46:56.480 that is a

00:46:57.120 backwards focus.

00:46:59.300 Now, what is the

00:47:01.420 importance of black

00:47:02.380 history for Americans?

00:47:06.020 Critical.

00:47:07.400 Critical.

00:47:08.280 Black history needs

00:47:09.840 to be taught to

00:47:10.540 everybody.

00:47:11.540 Right?

00:47:11.640 Black history needs

00:47:13.520 to really be a

00:47:15.160 major educational

00:47:17.720 variable.

00:47:19.940 But there's a

00:47:21.080 difference between

00:47:21.780 education and

00:47:23.520 making sure that

00:47:24.200 your history is

00:47:24.840 correct and it is

00:47:25.880 taught well.

00:47:26.880 There's a big

00:47:27.480 difference between

00:47:28.080 that and focus.

00:47:31.040 So we're not

00:47:31.560 talking about

00:47:32.080 history, yes or

00:47:32.960 no.

00:47:33.900 History, yes, is

00:47:34.960 the only answer.

00:47:36.360 History, yes.

00:47:37.400 We have to have

00:47:38.280 history.

00:47:38.540 But you don't

00:47:39.500 have to focus on

00:47:40.480 it as your

00:47:40.980 strategy for

00:47:41.680 success.

00:47:43.000 Now, I was

00:47:43.960 listening to black

00:47:45.100 conservatives on

00:47:45.940 Spaces recently, and

00:47:47.580 one of the things

00:47:48.140 that I noted was

00:47:49.740 how often they

00:47:50.580 talked about the

00:47:51.280 past.

00:47:53.120 I don't know how

00:47:54.240 prevalent that is.

00:47:57.060 So I don't know if

00:47:57.700 it was just that

00:47:58.240 group.

00:47:58.780 Because again,

00:47:59.780 everybody knows

00:48:00.580 black Americans are

00:48:01.720 widely diverse.

00:48:02.660 But I worry, so

00:48:05.900 this is an

00:48:06.400 observation, it's

00:48:07.260 not advice, I

00:48:08.580 worry that this

00:48:10.020 mindset couldn't

00:48:11.080 work for anybody.

00:48:12.560 Like you could

00:48:13.340 replace black

00:48:14.220 Americans with any 0.98

00:48:15.380 other group.

00:48:16.680 Just say, here's

00:48:17.700 your strategy for

00:48:18.560 success.

00:48:19.520 We want you to

00:48:20.020 really focus on the

00:48:21.540 bad things that

00:48:22.180 happened to you,

00:48:23.440 focus on who did

00:48:24.420 it to you, and

00:48:25.700 then make sure that

00:48:26.460 the people who did

00:48:27.080 it to you are

00:48:27.780 paying a little

00:48:28.420 extra to make

00:48:29.760 things right.

00:48:30.340 this is a

00:48:31.960 strategy that

00:48:32.660 wouldn't work for

00:48:33.300 anybody anywhere,

00:48:34.780 at any time.

00:48:37.580 However, it

00:48:39.220 totally works

00:48:40.000 temporarily.

00:48:41.600 And that's the

00:48:42.120 problem.

00:48:43.160 It totally feeds

00:48:44.540 the race grifters, 0.99

00:48:46.400 because people make

00:48:47.180 money selling all

00:48:48.040 this.

00:48:48.720 This is a

00:48:49.580 commercial product.

00:48:51.140 So as long as

00:48:51.820 the race grifters 0.99

00:48:52.780 are moving your

00:48:54.720 focus backwards,

00:48:56.300 you're never going

00:48:57.680 to succeed.

00:49:00.340 This isn't advice.

00:49:02.600 This is an

00:49:03.120 observation.

00:49:04.540 Nobody, white, 0.88

00:49:05.460 black, old,

00:49:06.380 young, nobody

00:49:07.720 anywhere can

00:49:08.920 succeed with this

00:49:09.740 mindset.

00:49:10.680 This is a losing

00:49:11.560 mindset.

00:49:13.400 Absolute losing

00:49:14.360 mindset.

00:49:15.460 Let me compare that

00:49:16.720 with a winning

00:49:17.240 mindset.

00:49:18.240 And by the way, I

00:49:19.520 believe this is a

00:49:20.300 legacy of systemic

00:49:21.860 racism.

00:49:22.920 All right?

00:49:23.400 Those of you who

00:49:24.360 are primed to be

00:49:25.540 racists, I'm not

00:49:27.540 saying anything about

00:49:28.320 black people.

00:49:29.080 That's not what I'm

00:49:30.600 talking about.

00:49:31.060 It's strategy, right?

00:49:33.380 Black people are the

00:49:35.520 victims of systemic

00:49:36.560 racism.

00:49:37.940 And so, there's

00:49:39.420 probably a history

00:49:40.760 that causes them to

00:49:42.000 be a little bit more

00:49:43.040 backwards focused.

00:49:44.400 You could understand

00:49:45.240 that, right?

00:49:46.620 Put yourself in the

00:49:48.320 shoes of black 0.86

00:49:49.620 Americans.

00:49:50.920 How would you not

00:49:51.980 look backwards?

00:49:52.700 How would you ever

00:49:55.740 have enough

00:49:56.260 discipline to say,

00:49:57.960 all right, the

00:49:58.340 past is the past.

00:49:59.180 I'll just go

00:50:00.140 forward.

00:50:01.220 Very, very hard,

00:50:02.920 right?

00:50:03.360 So that's another

00:50:04.120 cost of systemic

00:50:05.800 racism.

00:50:07.020 But, what would be

00:50:08.460 a successful

00:50:09.780 strategy, again,

00:50:10.920 not for black 1.00

00:50:11.640 people specifically,

00:50:13.020 for everybody?

00:50:14.740 No exceptions.

00:50:16.020 All human beings,

00:50:17.120 everywhere, every age,

00:50:18.640 every ethnic group.

00:50:19.680 focusing on the

00:50:21.880 future works.

00:50:23.940 It's just better.

00:50:25.140 And that means

00:50:25.640 optimism, even when

00:50:27.020 it's not rational.

00:50:30.400 Do it anyway.

00:50:31.440 It means having a

00:50:32.160 system more than a

00:50:33.160 goal, doing something

00:50:34.700 every day to improve

00:50:35.780 your situation, even

00:50:37.520 without a specific

00:50:38.340 goal.

00:50:38.980 Goals are good, but

00:50:39.800 you need a system

00:50:40.400 more than that.

00:50:41.700 Affirmations, you

00:50:42.600 know, imagining the

00:50:43.440 good future so you

00:50:44.340 can work toward it.

00:50:45.960 And future talk.

00:50:47.940 Future talk means

00:50:49.100 that when you're

00:50:50.840 interacting, you talk

00:50:52.320 about the future.

00:50:54.100 And that's pretty

00:50:55.600 much going to work

00:50:56.940 better than the

00:50:58.180 past focus in the

00:51:00.520 long run, every

00:51:02.300 time.

00:51:03.480 In the short run, you

00:51:04.540 can get a lot of

00:51:05.240 money out of this

00:51:05.940 model, which is the

00:51:07.420 problem, that in the

00:51:08.680 short run, it kind of

00:51:09.440 works.

00:51:10.360 You can guilt people

00:51:11.440 into, you know, going

00:51:12.680 to your side.

00:51:13.240 But, so, none of

00:51:17.100 that is advice.

00:51:18.960 None of that is

00:51:19.760 advice.

00:51:21.240 Because I really, I

00:51:22.340 do believe that white

00:51:23.360 people giving advice to

00:51:24.420 black people is just a 1.00

00:51:26.040 mistake.

00:51:27.260 I don't think it's

00:51:28.020 received in the right

00:51:29.020 sense.

00:51:29.460 I don't think we have

00:51:30.120 the right context.

00:51:31.200 I don't think we

00:51:31.800 understand the multiple

00:51:33.780 different cultures.

00:51:35.160 But I can make an

00:51:36.160 observation.

00:51:36.700 And my observation is

00:51:39.320 everybody who takes

00:51:40.880 the back focus view

00:51:43.460 fails.

00:51:44.820 Everybody who looks

00:51:45.740 ahead and builds their

00:51:46.740 talent stack and, you

00:51:48.180 know, does the five

00:51:48.880 things for success,

00:51:50.540 unless a meteor hits you,

00:51:52.140 you're going to be

00:51:52.560 fine.

00:51:53.680 You know, you'd have

00:51:54.300 to have terrible luck

00:51:55.320 to not make that work.

00:51:58.160 Now, when you look at

00:52:00.780 a successful black

00:52:02.440 person in America, how

00:52:04.480 many of the five things

00:52:06.140 for success and the

00:52:07.380 forward-looking,

00:52:08.400 optimistic things, how

00:52:09.780 many of those do you

00:52:10.480 see present?

00:52:11.660 All of them.

00:52:12.720 All of them, right?

00:52:14.040 Pretty much every

00:52:14.980 successful black person

00:52:16.700 in America has sort of

00:52:18.160 an optimistic,

00:52:19.160 forward-looking, you

00:52:20.880 know, focus.

00:52:22.220 Of course, knows

00:52:22.960 everything about

00:52:23.540 history, but they have

00:52:24.560 a focus on the future,

00:52:26.740 and they do the five

00:52:27.620 things, and then they

00:52:29.140 do five.

00:52:30.460 It works every time.

00:52:32.980 All right.

00:52:33.260 All right.

00:52:36.140 And that, ladies and

00:52:37.820 gentlemen, is what you

00:52:39.540 want to cancel.

00:52:41.320 So, for the Washington

00:52:42.320 Post, the question is

00:52:44.340 this.

00:52:45.140 Do you want to see less

00:52:46.060 of this?

00:52:50.040 What should I do?

00:52:51.680 Should I do more of

00:52:52.660 this, which is what I've

00:52:53.660 been doing for years,

00:52:54.860 trying to be useful, or

00:52:56.400 should I do less of it

00:52:57.460 because I should be

00:52:58.860 canceled for being a

00:52:59.960 damn racist because the

00:53:01.740 fake news produced some

00:53:03.000 fake news to cancel me

00:53:04.840 for largely political

00:53:05.940 reasons?

00:53:07.540 What should I do?

00:53:10.900 All right.

00:53:12.920 So, you weren't

00:53:13.600 expecting that this

00:53:14.440 morning.

00:53:15.360 And I'm going to say

00:53:16.320 goodbye to the YouTube

00:53:17.520 people.

00:53:18.460 We'll end on that note,

00:53:20.440 and I'll talk to you

00:53:21.200 all tomorrow.

00:53:21.620 Bye-bye.

00:53:22.620 Bye-bye.

00:53:23.620 Bye-bye.

00:53:28.200 Bye-bye.

00:53:33.640 Bye-bye.

00:53:43.460 Bye.

00:53:43.640 Bye-bye.

00:53:44.380 Bye-bye.

00:53:44.420 Bye-bye.

00:53:45.920 Bye-bye.

00:53:46.040 Bye-bye.

00:53:46.520 Bye-bye.

00:53:47.020 Bye-bye.

00:53:47.480 Bye-bye.

00:53:48.680 Bye-bye.

00:53:49.340 Bye-bye.

00:53:49.820 Bye-bye.

00:53:50.500 Bye-bye.
