00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
00:00:07.860 So I just noticed something when I went into my little drawer I always go into.
00:00:12.220 I don't know why, but there was still a mask in that drawer.
00:00:17.160 I don't even keep them in there. I don't know why it was in there.
00:00:20.200 But are you finding masks, like old masks, sort of in pockets and closets and drawers everywhere?
00:00:28.880 And every time you see one, doesn't your heart just, like, drop?
00:00:34.540 It's like, oh, God, no. Garbage.
00:00:41.080 All right, well, welcome to the highlight of civilization.
00:00:44.580 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and aren't you glad you're here?
00:00:48.260 Well, you will be in a minute.
00:00:50.780 And all you need to take this experience up to levels that nobody's ever seen before
00:00:55.680 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a cello, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:02.460 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:01:06.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day.
00:01:10.320 The thing that makes everything better.
00:01:12.560 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:14.720 It happens now.
00:01:16.180 Go.
00:01:16.380 Well, summer's here, whether you like it or not.
00:01:28.060 At least where I live, it's all warm weather from now on for the rest of the time.
00:01:32.960 All right, let's talk about the news.
00:01:34.180 It's funny when you associate with people who have become experts at interpreting the news
00:01:43.540 versus before I started talking about politics and being on Twitter.
00:01:49.440 I thought the news was sort of the news.
00:01:54.100 You know, silly me.
00:01:55.320 I thought that if it was on the news, it was probably important.
00:01:58.540 And they looked into it, and then they told me the facts.
00:02:00.820 Now, when I see a story on that 60 Minutes is going to do a big piece on Ray Epps
00:02:09.200 and how innocent he is and unfairly accused of being a Fed,
00:02:13.580 do you feel the same?
00:02:15.820 Do you look at that story and say to yourself,
00:02:17.560 well, there's a useful story in which 60 Minutes will give us the accurate details
00:02:22.360 as they have researched it?
00:02:25.300 Is that how you...
00:02:26.660 Not anymore, huh?
00:02:30.000 Yeah.
00:02:30.820 Yeah, it seems like those days are over.
00:02:33.340 Yes, now when we see that 60 Minutes is covering the Ray Epps story,
00:02:37.900 it looks like nothing but a Democrat op.
00:02:41.260 It's an op.
00:02:42.420 It doesn't even look like the news.
00:02:44.780 Like, I can't even...
00:02:46.160 I can't even, like, force my brain to see it as a legitimate news story.
00:02:51.280 It's purely narrative manipulation.
00:02:54.480 Now, let me say as clearly as possible, I don't know what's going on with Ray Epps.
00:03:03.560 I do think he's innocent until proven guilty.
00:03:09.040 Innocent until proven guilty.
00:03:10.480 I'm going to stick with that standard as long as I can.
00:03:14.160 So I don't assume he's guilty of anything.
00:03:16.540 I just know that the story is very anti-Democrats winning the presidency.
00:03:21.900 And if Biden can't sell this January 6th thing, he doesn't have much to sell.
00:03:28.400 Because otherwise, he's just not looking good compared to, you know, Trump's performance on a lot of stuff.
00:03:34.120 So, they've got to do something.
00:03:37.400 So to me, it looks like 60 Minutes is just being a good Democrat
00:03:40.360 and trying to take the steam out of the Ray Epps accusations.
00:03:45.540 Be they true or be they not, I wouldn't know.
00:03:48.640 But innocent until proven guilty.
00:03:50.940 Innocent until proven guilty.
00:03:53.420 All right, likewise, here's another story that I'm not seeing as just news.
00:03:58.140 So NBC is covering the charges against Hunter.
00:04:06.040 And I guess Ken Delanian is one of the people in the story.
00:04:09.320 He's one of four people in the story.
00:04:11.340 And if you don't know, the Glenn Greenwalds, et cetera,
00:04:15.520 like to accuse NBC of being part of a CIA operation, basically.
00:04:21.140 And so it's curious.
00:04:23.880 Why are they covering the Hunter is being considered for four different charges?
00:04:31.840 And the investigation was done over a year ago.
00:04:36.820 So even NBC is reporting that people are frustrated that charges have not been brought
00:04:43.180 because the investigation's been over for a long time.
00:04:47.300 Now, what's going on here?
00:04:49.860 What's going on?
00:04:50.880 Are they really just covering the news?
00:04:55.000 Because it is the story.
00:04:56.480 As far as I know, the story, it looks accurately told compared to other news entities.
00:05:04.180 So why would NBC, that we suspect is not just a news organization,
00:05:11.440 why would they report this this way?
00:05:13.160 Because it looks like it's useful, fair, and bad for Democrats.
00:05:17.880 Why would they do that?
00:05:18.760 Well, one of the things you need to do is catch up with stories after they've passed you.
00:05:26.660 So in order to remain a news entity, or for people to even think they're a news entity,
00:05:33.380 I have to laugh at this comment.
00:05:40.580 In all caps, Mahat is saying,
00:05:42.760 Scott, you are still talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, LOL.
00:05:46.860 Well, do you think Hunter Biden's laptop is not newsworthy?
00:05:55.080 Because NBC thinks of this.
00:05:57.840 You know who else thinks it's newsworthy today?
00:06:01.000 Every major news organization.
00:06:03.700 All of them.
00:06:07.100 All right.
00:06:07.760 That was a good try there.
00:06:12.940 Here's how I interpret NBC covering it.
00:06:16.820 They have to cover it because the cat's already so far out of the bag.
00:06:21.480 If they don't cover it at all, you won't ever listen to any bullshit they have in the future.
00:06:26.480 So basically, they have to catch up to the truth once the truth is thoroughly understood,
00:06:32.900 because then they can lie to you more effectively in the future,
00:06:36.760 because you'll think to yourself, well, they covered the news up till now.
00:06:40.480 So probably this next thing they say is the news too, instead of just an operation.
00:06:44.880 So that's what it looks like.
00:06:48.620 So the two big news stories today, neither of them look like real news,
00:06:53.200 even though they might be accurate.
00:06:54.980 I'm not saying that the news is inaccurate.
00:06:57.400 I'm saying that the reason they're covering it and why they're doing it now
00:07:00.900 and the way they're doing it has everything to do with manipulating the voters
00:07:05.020 and nothing to do with the news.
00:07:07.380 That's what it looks like.
00:07:08.360 But that would be speculation, because I'm not a mind reader.
00:07:12.600 I'm not a mind reader.
00:07:13.760 I'm just telling you what it looks like.
00:07:17.580 All right.
00:07:18.720 Wall Street editorial board is taking a big old crap on Randy Weingarten's head.
00:07:25.720 So she's head of the big teachers union. 1.00
00:07:28.520 And she has been opposed to collate locating charter schools in public schools.
00:07:35.060 Did you know that was a thing?
00:07:36.140 I just learned about this today.
00:07:39.120 Apparently, there are a number of public school facilities that have plenty of extra room.
00:07:45.700 And charter schools are also publicly sanctioned schools.
00:07:50.040 They're not private.
00:07:51.540 I don't know if they can be.
00:07:53.140 But a charter school would be something the government is supporting,
00:07:56.660 as opposed to something that's a purely private school.
00:07:59.260 So the charter schools say, hey, why can't we use some of that publicly funded excess public school building?
00:08:09.620 And other people say, yeah, why not?
00:08:12.780 Perfectly good idea.
00:08:14.400 You know, it's already public.
00:08:15.580 It's already public.
00:08:16.560 It's already paid for.
00:08:17.360 It's empty.
00:08:18.260 And all of this is public, too.
00:08:19.880 So put the two public things in the public facility.
00:08:22.060 Do you know who opposes that idea?
00:08:26.680 Randy Weingarten.
00:08:28.820 Because anything that's good for black people, she seems to oppose.
00:08:33.060 I don't know if that's a coincidence, but there's a pattern that seems pretty clear.
00:08:37.860 That anything that's good for school choice, she seems to oppose.
00:08:42.920 Now, it turns out, the story that got the Wall Street Journal editorial board on her,
00:08:50.940 is that there is one exception.
00:08:53.740 And the one exception is, apparently, there's one charter school that the teachers union have some control over.
00:09:00.280 And they want that one to be co-located.
00:09:02.340 So she can't even be consistent with her own preference.
00:09:06.900 As long as it's good for Randy Weingarten, she's for it.
00:09:11.620 That seems to be the only rule.
00:09:13.940 Now, how in the world does she keep her job? 1.00
00:09:18.740 I guess she must do a good job for the members, according to their opinion. 0.94
00:09:24.160 Because she has to be voted in, right?
00:09:26.360 Doesn't she have to be voted in? 1.00
00:09:29.080 There must be some ballot stuffing going on or something.
00:09:31.660 No, she's probably doing a good job for the members. 0.97
00:09:36.600 But unfortunately, that seems to be at the expense of children,
00:09:40.340 and especially at the expense of black kids, more so than others, I think.
00:09:45.020 So in terms of, if you're looking for the source of systemic racism,
00:09:49.820 well, it's everywhere, but the school system is the worst,
00:09:54.500 and the teachers union is the biggest cause of that.
00:09:57.140 All right.
00:10:02.980 You know, there's a thing that the Democrats do consistently
00:10:06.960 that every time you see it, you just shake your head,
00:10:10.460 and you go, seriously?
00:10:13.660 Seriously.
00:10:14.900 That's your idea.
00:10:16.320 Here's another one.
00:10:17.020 There's this new rule going into effect May 1st,
00:10:21.520 that homebuyers with good credit will pay $40 more for their good credit
00:10:26.740 to help fund the people with bad credit
00:10:30.500 so that people with bad credit can get houses just like people with good credit.
00:10:35.240 So I don't even have to tell you what's wrong with that, right?
00:10:42.760 If you reverse rewards so that you get rewarded for bad credit
00:10:48.880 and penalized for good credit,
00:10:51.040 that would be more of what the Democrats do everywhere, 0.99
00:10:54.740 which is ignore the human incentive and motivation variable,
00:10:59.520 which is the big one, right?
00:11:02.180 It would be, you know, it would be understandable
00:11:05.420 if there were some small variables that got ignored,
00:11:09.140 but not the big one.
00:11:12.480 Why would you ignore the biggest variable,
00:11:15.300 which is how people are motivated?
00:11:17.460 That's how they're going to act.
00:11:19.240 They're going to act on motivation.
00:11:21.720 And money works every time.
00:11:23.260 So you could say to me, well, these are small amounts,
00:11:27.860 but it's all part of the same system
00:11:29.760 of penalizing the successful
00:11:32.440 and giving rewards to the people who didn't do the right stuff.
00:11:38.600 Right stuff according to getting better credit.
00:11:44.940 What's that?
00:11:47.040 All right.
00:11:47.480 So would you also say that the rule is racist?
00:11:53.800 Is that rule racist?
00:11:56.780 Who do you think are the people with the high credit?
00:12:01.200 On average, it's going to be white Americans
00:12:03.200 and Asian Americans, right?
00:12:07.180 So the white Americans and the Asian Americans 0.96
00:12:09.280 will pay more for their good credit.
00:12:11.800 And who do you think will be the beneficiaries?
00:12:13.660 Largely black people and people of color
00:12:18.160 with lower credit.
00:12:20.960 So why is it not racist?
00:12:24.820 It's not racist?
00:12:27.760 Here's the problem.
00:12:28.980 100% of the things that the government does are racist.
00:12:33.760 Do you know why?
00:12:35.120 Because it can't not be.
00:12:36.960 There's not an option to be non-racist.
00:12:39.220 Everything the government does
00:12:40.600 has a disproportionate effect on somebody.
00:12:44.640 I'm not saying it's all bad.
00:12:46.320 It might be exactly what you wanted.
00:12:48.240 But there's nothing they can do
00:12:49.840 that doesn't disproportionately affect people.
00:12:52.580 Because, you know, well, it's obvious.
00:12:55.420 Anything you do is going to affect the rich people
00:12:57.540 or the poor people in a different way.
00:12:59.660 There are more of one type in each category.
00:13:03.140 So therefore, there's a racial component
00:13:04.700 to literally everything.
00:13:06.560 I'm going to tell you about my fascinating conversation
00:13:11.660 with a member of Black Lives Matter next
00:13:14.100 because it fits perfectly into this theme.
00:13:18.760 All right, so this was a user
00:13:20.120 who just calls himself Huey Pease Student.
00:13:23.940 10.PG, that's his name on Twitter.
00:13:27.060 And he looks to be identifying as black.
00:13:30.720 And he's got BLM in his...
00:13:33.280 He seems to be a Black Lives Matter supporter.
00:13:35.420 So there's a little battle going on
00:13:40.440 among some various black...
00:13:43.480 I guess activists would be the right...
00:13:45.400 Just people who are active
00:13:47.500 in trying to make things better.
00:13:49.260 I don't know if activist is a fair word.
00:13:53.000 Because sometimes people are just active
00:13:54.980 trying to make things better.
00:13:57.120 So he would be one of these people
00:13:58.700 who's active trying to make things better
00:14:00.840 in the way that he thinks will work.
00:14:03.780 And he got into a debate with...
00:14:07.640 I think it was King Randall,
00:14:09.000 which is actually his name.
00:14:10.180 I think his first name is actually King.
00:14:12.760 Do you follow King Randall on Twitter?
00:14:16.000 You should.
00:14:17.400 You should.
00:14:18.360 Because he's a contrarian
00:14:21.020 in the sense that his major theme
00:14:24.700 is you work on the individuals
00:14:27.020 and the education and the parents,
00:14:28.860 and you really work on the people specifically.
00:14:32.440 And if you can get the people
00:14:33.660 to be more effective,
00:14:35.480 then they can blast through the,
00:14:37.240 you know, whatever racism there is.
00:14:39.060 Because there will always be racism.
00:14:41.300 Right?
00:14:41.720 You can work on racism,
00:14:43.700 but it's still going to be there.
00:14:45.640 So King Randall has more
00:14:47.640 of a personal responsibility
00:14:49.140 kind of a take on it.
00:14:51.140 And he's...
00:14:51.860 Apparently he's got a school
00:14:53.180 that's privately funded
00:14:54.880 that's primarily for...
00:14:56.660 I think it's primarily
00:14:57.440 or only for black kids.
00:14:58.740 I don't know.
00:14:59.540 But it seems to be working,
00:15:01.260 and he's working with the parents
00:15:02.440 of the black kids.
00:15:03.520 And I can only tell
00:15:05.600 from what he tweets,
00:15:06.980 so I don't have personal information
00:15:08.580 on the ground.
00:15:09.700 But it looks really strong,
00:15:12.620 as in it looks like exactly
00:15:14.220 the right mindset to be promoting,
00:15:17.520 and it looks like
00:15:18.360 he's getting some traction on that.
00:15:19.940 So there's a debate
00:15:23.280 between some of the black factions
00:15:26.100 who say, you know,
00:15:27.160 work on education
00:15:28.060 and just make everybody
00:15:29.480 as effective as they can,
00:15:31.160 and that's your best play.
00:15:32.660 And the others who think
00:15:34.020 it's more of a systemic problem
00:15:35.440 and you should be putting
00:15:36.300 your emphasis on the system
00:15:37.820 more than, you know...
00:15:39.860 Now, everybody thinks
00:15:41.060 both are important,
00:15:42.620 just to be clear.
00:15:44.000 Everybody thinks
00:15:44.820 you should work on individuals
00:15:46.100 to make them successful.
00:15:47.860 Everybody thinks
00:15:48.480 there's systemic racism
00:15:50.020 of some kind.
00:15:51.360 But there is a difference
00:15:52.480 in what you emphasize.
00:15:54.800 You know, do you emphasize
00:15:55.400 one versus the other?
00:15:57.100 So, Huey P's student,
00:16:00.160 that's his Twitter name,
00:16:02.120 got into a little back and forth
00:16:03.560 with me on this stuff.
00:16:05.040 I'm backing King Randall.
00:16:06.900 His view of making individuals
00:16:09.520 as superpowered as possible,
00:16:12.280 and that's your best play
00:16:13.740 in the long run,
00:16:14.480 even for getting rid
00:16:15.360 of systemic racism.
00:16:16.800 Imagine if tomorrow
00:16:18.900 every black student
00:16:21.180 started over-performing
00:16:23.080 every other student,
00:16:25.560 just, you know,
00:16:26.200 as a mental exercise.
00:16:28.160 Don't you think
00:16:28.740 systemic racism
00:16:29.700 would be a lot less
00:16:30.780 in a generation?
00:16:32.680 It would kind of
00:16:33.440 take care of itself.
00:16:34.800 Success and money
00:16:35.860 are the two things
00:16:36.660 that solve almost everything.
00:16:38.440 You know,
00:16:38.840 did O.J. Simpson,
00:16:40.460 before he got in legal troubles,
00:16:42.560 did he have a big problem
00:16:43.960 with being black?
00:16:45.740 No.
00:16:47.020 As O.J. used to say,
00:16:48.660 I'm not black,
00:16:49.340 I'm O.J.
00:16:50.240 Because once you're successful,
00:16:52.100 then you're just seen
00:16:52.760 as the successful person.
00:16:54.700 You know,
00:16:54.900 your race just becomes 0.50
00:16:56.160 a secondary thing.
00:16:57.920 So that's, you know,
00:16:59.500 a reasonable way
00:17:00.380 to play it
00:17:01.300 is just to make yourself successful.
00:17:04.020 So I got into this conversation
00:17:08.140 with this Black Lives Matter 1.00
00:17:10.360 activist type of guy.
00:17:13.560 And he said,
00:17:16.560 don't you think you should,
00:17:19.180 he said this in a tweet to me,
00:17:20.920 don't you think eradicating racism
00:17:22.640 is a good place to start
00:17:24.340 to make everything better?
00:17:26.740 What do you think
00:17:27.200 of that statement?
00:17:28.700 Don't you think eradicating racism
00:17:30.700 is a good place to start?
00:17:32.000 My answer to that was,
00:17:34.480 that's the dumbest place to start.
00:17:37.320 That's the dumbest place to start.
00:17:39.040 That's the worst thing you could do.
00:17:41.140 Do you know why?
00:17:42.680 How do you ever get
00:17:43.580 to the second step?
00:17:46.020 Where's the second step?
00:17:48.480 If your first step
00:17:49.660 is literally impossible,
00:17:51.900 how do you get rid of racism?
00:17:53.580 That's not going to happen.
00:17:54.700 You could reduce it,
00:17:55.960 and we all agree to do that.
00:17:58.060 I think 100% of us say,
00:18:00.220 well, yeah,
00:18:00.640 if there's something you could do
00:18:02.280 to reduce racism,
00:18:04.060 of course.
00:18:05.060 Why wouldn't you?
00:18:06.520 But as a first step,
00:18:09.520 that's the worst advice
00:18:12.180 of all time.
00:18:14.060 And I've heard some bad advice.
00:18:16.600 So I said,
00:18:19.340 no, that's actually
00:18:20.180 the dumbest place to start.
00:18:22.020 That is the dumbest place to start.
00:18:25.000 The first place to start
00:18:26.400 is making individuals
00:18:27.860 more successful.
00:18:30.440 Making sure education
00:18:31.820 is working for everybody.
00:18:33.280 Making sure people
00:18:33.880 have a strategy.
00:18:36.220 And
00:18:36.260 so this is
00:18:40.720 what I get back.
00:18:43.660 So you're saying
00:18:44.960 that black people
00:18:45.740 should just accept
00:18:46.700 unfair treatment
00:18:47.600 and not speak out?
00:18:49.740 What's that?
00:18:51.480 What's that called?
00:18:52.420 So you're saying
00:18:54.100 that black people
00:18:54.760 should just accept
00:18:55.640 unfair treatment
00:18:56.460 and not speak out?
00:18:58.900 Yeah,
00:18:59.520 it's the so tell.
00:19:01.180 It means he's already
00:19:02.440 lost the argument
00:19:03.580 and he's starting to
00:19:04.540 have cognitive dissonance.
00:19:07.100 All right.
00:19:07.640 Because nobody can disagree
00:19:09.260 with the statement
00:19:09.960 that working on
00:19:11.000 racism first
00:19:12.240 is a bad idea
00:19:13.500 compared to working
00:19:15.180 on yourself first.
00:19:16.360 And also working on racism.
00:19:17.820 But that's
00:19:19.160 that's got to be
00:19:19.740 the background
00:19:20.360 effort for society
00:19:22.620 not for you
00:19:23.280 necessarily as an individual.
00:19:26.040 So
00:19:26.180 yeah,
00:19:27.840 so he's already
00:19:28.320 off the rails.
00:19:30.400 Should not affect
00:19:31.400 So what do I say
00:19:32.940 about fairness?
00:19:34.340 Let's say your goal
00:19:35.280 is fairness
00:19:35.820 and he's used the word
00:19:36.700 fair a few times.
00:19:38.060 What do I say
00:19:38.620 about fairness?
00:19:39.640 I've said this forever.
00:19:41.420 Fairness was invented
00:19:42.620 as a concept
00:19:43.540 concept of fairness
00:19:44.840 so that children
00:19:46.180 and idiots 0.93
00:19:46.820 would have something
00:19:47.440 to argue about.
00:19:49.020 Because smart people
00:19:50.020 don't argue about fairness.
00:19:52.120 They just don't.
00:19:53.780 It's only a dumb person
00:19:55.040 argument.
00:19:55.820 Because the dumb people
00:19:57.020 don't have any
00:19:57.660 anything else to say.
00:20:00.000 So they're like
00:20:00.820 well
00:20:01.160 it's not
00:20:02.600 well
00:20:04.660 what do you think
00:20:05.460 it's not
00:20:06.360 fair.
00:20:07.640 It's not fair.
00:20:09.080 Right?
00:20:09.320 Because you can make
00:20:09.900 fair mean anything
00:20:10.680 you want.
00:20:11.660 So it's sort of
00:20:12.340 how dumb people
00:20:12.940 and children argue.
00:20:13.940 It's not fair.
00:20:15.180 Now in the real world
00:20:16.240 there are plenty
00:20:16.680 of things that
00:20:17.360 we would all agree
00:20:18.400 are not fair.
00:20:20.000 And sure
00:20:20.740 try to do something
00:20:22.440 about it.
00:20:23.600 But again
00:20:24.300 it's not where
00:20:26.280 you start.
00:20:27.700 Right?
00:20:27.960 Where you start
00:20:28.560 is with the individual.
00:20:29.900 You also try to get
00:20:31.140 something that feels
00:20:32.760 fair over time.
00:20:34.940 But that's not
00:20:35.860 that can't be your focus.
00:20:37.640 If you want to be
00:20:38.520 successful.
00:20:39.720 All right.
00:20:39.920 So what do you think
00:20:40.460 he did then?
00:20:41.860 So then I
00:20:42.360 I think I said
00:20:45.080 something about
00:20:45.600 using strategy
00:20:46.380 instead.
00:20:47.400 And I said that
00:20:48.540 for example
00:20:49.680 a black person
00:20:52.880 who is qualified
00:20:53.860 has a big advantage
00:20:55.420 in a fortune 500
00:20:56.640 company getting hired.
00:20:58.540 Now what do you think
00:20:59.560 the Black Lives Matter
00:21:01.060 advocate said
00:21:02.020 when I stated this
00:21:03.920 what I believe
00:21:04.620 is a fact
00:21:05.240 that a black applicant 0.95
00:21:07.640 with good credentials
00:21:08.840 would have a big
00:21:10.320 advantage in a
00:21:11.160 fortune 500 company.
00:21:12.560 What do you think
00:21:13.020 his response was?
00:21:14.640 He said
00:21:15.360 I'm lying.
00:21:17.440 I'm lying.
00:21:18.560 And it's a lie
00:21:19.180 that white people 0.52
00:21:19.880 tell all the time.
00:21:21.360 And then he showed
00:21:22.240 some research
00:21:23.000 to show that
00:21:24.120 there's plenty
00:21:24.780 of racism
00:21:25.420 in hiring
00:21:26.240 in corporate America.
00:21:28.480 Do you see
00:21:28.880 what he did?
00:21:29.920 That wasn't my argument.
00:21:31.760 When did I argue
00:21:32.540 that racism
00:21:33.620 doesn't exist?
00:21:35.460 I never said that.
00:21:36.980 When did I say
00:21:37.680 it doesn't exist
00:21:38.420 in hiring
00:21:38.980 and when did I say
00:21:40.460 that there are
00:21:41.060 no black people 1.00
00:21:42.160 being discriminated against?
00:21:44.100 Never said that.
00:21:45.440 I assume there's
00:21:46.200 massive discrimination
00:21:47.220 in hiring.
00:21:48.200 I would assume
00:21:48.860 that if you're
00:21:49.340 a black applicant
00:21:50.120 and you go to
00:21:51.280 a Korean grocery store
00:21:52.820 I'll just pick 0.52
00:21:54.060 one random example
00:21:55.040 you probably have
00:21:56.140 less chance
00:21:56.780 of getting hired
00:21:57.400 than if you were
00:21:57.980 a Korean.
00:21:59.220 Just guessing.
00:22:00.500 I mean I'm not
00:22:01.060 blaming anybody
00:22:01.660 in particular.
00:22:02.700 I'm not blaming
00:22:03.300 the Koreans
00:22:03.860 or anything like that.
00:22:05.400 I'm just saying
00:22:05.940 in general
00:22:06.800 a small family business
00:22:09.600 it's going to be
00:22:10.980 a little bit
00:22:11.480 more discriminating
00:22:12.440 than what I said.
00:22:14.540 Did I say
00:22:15.100 every big and small
00:22:16.100 company
00:22:16.600 prefers black people?
00:22:18.620 No.
00:22:19.400 I said
00:22:19.980 a Fortune 500
00:22:21.440 company
00:22:22.000 specifically
00:22:22.880 the ones
00:22:23.940 everybody's
00:22:24.420 watching carefully
00:22:25.360 are starving
00:22:27.700 for more diversity
00:22:30.020 because they have
00:22:30.820 to answer
00:22:31.220 to that master.
00:22:32.260 They can't not
00:22:33.980 do it.
00:22:35.180 The big companies
00:22:35.920 have to
00:22:36.880 try hard
00:22:38.080 to get
00:22:38.940 black and
00:22:39.940 female 0.86
00:22:40.820 and LGBTQ
00:22:41.640 they have to.
00:22:44.240 So
00:22:44.440 and by the way
00:22:46.700 I call this
00:22:47.560 the
00:22:47.860 Black Lives Matter
00:22:49.820 well.
00:22:51.180 I've showed you
00:22:51.960 this before
00:22:52.520 that if you defeat
00:22:53.600 an argument
00:22:54.140 that's just
00:22:54.880 a terrible argument
00:22:55.780 they always retreat
00:22:57.180 to the next obvious
00:22:58.240 level of defense
00:22:59.500 then the next obvious
00:23:00.940 one
00:23:01.140 the next obvious one
00:23:02.000 and you just keep
00:23:02.880 mowing the lawn
00:23:03.980 until you get down
00:23:05.980 to the last argument
00:23:06.900 and then it's just
00:23:07.680 an insult
00:23:08.200 right?
00:23:09.600 What's the last
00:23:10.580 argument?
00:23:11.600 The last argument
00:23:12.320 is a personal insult.
00:23:13.860 Do you think
00:23:14.260 he went for the
00:23:14.840 personal insult?
00:23:16.400 Of course he did.
00:23:17.700 He decided that
00:23:18.720 the real problem
00:23:19.420 is that I said
00:23:20.300 a racist thing
00:23:21.500 and he wants
00:23:23.340 to talk about
00:23:23.820 that now.
00:23:25.460 Well what about
00:23:26.200 my argument?
00:23:28.640 So I pointed out
00:23:29.600 that
00:23:29.920 that I had
00:23:32.700 four instances
00:23:33.560 of losing careers
00:23:34.820 for being
00:23:35.440 a white male.
00:23:37.640 Now you know
00:23:38.260 all four
00:23:38.740 right?
00:23:39.200 Two corporate
00:23:39.820 careers
00:23:40.620 where my bosses
00:23:42.020 told me
00:23:42.540 in direct words
00:23:43.640 we can't promote
00:23:45.100 you because
00:23:45.540 you're white 0.98
00:23:46.040 and male.
00:23:47.000 Direct.
00:23:48.040 Nothing beating
00:23:49.060 around the bush.
00:23:50.300 Told me to my face
00:23:51.500 directly
00:23:52.120 can't promote
00:23:53.300 you're white 0.98
00:23:53.980 and you're male.
00:23:55.880 now my
00:23:59.320 debate partner
00:24:01.060 here
00:24:01.480 says that
00:24:03.140 that was
00:24:03.840 anecdotal.
00:24:05.600 It was anecdotal
00:24:06.980 that I lost
00:24:07.940 four careers
00:24:08.960 in a row
00:24:09.460 for being a
00:24:10.520 white guy.
00:24:11.440 Four.
00:24:12.560 The other one
00:24:13.360 was my
00:24:14.160 animated cartoon
00:24:15.860 which I wasn't
00:24:17.700 fired for being
00:24:18.400 white
00:24:18.820 but it was a
00:24:19.900 comic about a
00:24:20.620 white guy
00:24:21.060 and they decided
00:24:22.240 that Monday night
00:24:22.960 was going to be
00:24:23.500 the African American
00:24:24.500 comedy night
00:24:25.520 so it didn't
00:24:26.840 fit in its
00:24:27.560 time slot
00:24:28.180 and once you
00:24:28.980 lose your
00:24:29.300 time slot
00:24:29.860 you're kind
00:24:30.960 of screwed.
00:24:31.700 That's what
00:24:31.980 happened to us.
00:24:33.340 So it wasn't
00:24:34.580 direct
00:24:35.040 but had I been
00:24:36.560 African American
00:24:37.360 I would have
00:24:38.000 still had a
00:24:38.440 TV show
00:24:38.960 and likewise
00:24:40.500 when I got
00:24:41.140 cancelled from
00:24:41.800 cartooning
00:24:42.560 100% of people
00:24:44.240 agree
00:24:44.660 that had I
00:24:45.580 been black
00:24:46.240 I could have
00:24:47.220 said anything
00:24:47.660 I wanted.
00:24:48.860 Everybody agrees
00:24:49.580 with that.
00:24:50.520 You know I
00:24:51.240 wouldn't have
00:24:51.500 been cancelled
00:24:51.960 if I'd been
00:24:52.460 black.
00:24:53.420 So
00:24:53.660 those are
00:24:54.880 four examples
00:24:55.600 just with
00:24:56.500 one person
00:24:57.280 just one
00:24:58.560 person.
00:24:59.940 Now
00:25:00.100 his response
00:25:02.180 was that
00:25:02.560 was anecdotal
00:25:03.320 and my
00:25:04.540 response to
00:25:05.080 that was
00:25:05.540 I don't
00:25:07.360 I also
00:25:07.980 agree that
00:25:08.680 anecdotal
00:25:09.380 evidence
00:25:09.840 is not
00:25:10.820 persuasive.
00:25:12.560 Here would
00:25:13.120 be the one
00:25:13.540 exception
00:25:13.980 if it's
00:25:15.880 100%
00:25:16.540 of the
00:25:16.880 anecdotes
00:25:17.400 if it's
00:25:18.740 100%
00:25:19.500 and I
00:25:20.620 said just
00:25:21.240 talk to
00:25:21.700 any white
00:25:23.040 male
00:25:23.420 who works
00:25:24.480 in a
00:25:24.920 fortune
00:25:25.220 500
00:25:25.700 company
00:25:26.240 anyone
00:25:27.240 100%
00:25:28.680 you will
00:25:29.500 get 100%
00:25:30.580 common
00:25:31.180 experience
00:25:31.840 for the
00:25:32.640 last 30
00:25:33.220 years.
00:25:34.220 Nobody will
00:25:34.940 have a
00:25:35.200 different
00:25:35.400 opinion.
00:25:36.260 Everybody
00:25:36.520 will have
00:25:36.880 the same
00:25:37.200 observation
00:25:37.800 and the
00:25:38.580 same
00:25:38.780 lived
00:25:39.040 experience.
00:25:40.200 Now
00:25:40.380 only the
00:25:41.200 white males
00:25:41.780 other people
00:25:43.020 are not
00:25:43.360 going to
00:25:43.520 be
00:25:44.120 up on
00:25:45.900 what their
00:25:46.220 experience is.
00:25:47.540 But
00:25:47.840 I do
00:25:48.820 believe in
00:25:49.320 anecdotal
00:25:50.020 evidence
00:25:50.560 when it's
00:25:51.040 every piece
00:25:52.200 of evidence.
00:25:53.620 Every single
00:25:54.240 piece.
00:25:55.260 Right?
00:25:57.320 You know
00:25:57.980 you don't
00:25:58.300 think that
00:25:58.780 oxygen is
00:25:59.560 poison.
00:26:00.980 Because
00:26:01.580 100%
00:26:02.520 of humans
00:26:03.020 seem to be
00:26:03.520 okay breathing
00:26:04.360 oxygen.
00:26:05.560 Nobody's ever
00:26:06.280 died from
00:26:06.820 breathing oxygen.
00:26:08.900 So do I
00:26:09.440 need a study
00:26:10.120 to find that
00:26:11.300 oxygen is
00:26:12.120 good for
00:26:12.460 people?
00:26:13.500 Not really.
00:26:14.900 Because 100%
00:26:16.160 of every
00:26:16.960 human being
00:26:17.660 ever needs
00:26:19.140 oxygen.
00:26:19.960 I don't
00:26:20.160 have to
00:26:20.420 study that
00:26:20.880 one.
00:26:22.740 All right.
00:26:25.080 But so
00:26:26.320 as is
00:26:28.420 often the
00:26:28.780 case,
00:26:29.100 once I
00:26:29.560 clarified that
00:26:30.380 I meant
00:26:30.620 fortune 500
00:26:31.420 companies,
00:26:32.180 it didn't
00:26:32.320 make any
00:26:32.660 difference,
00:26:33.060 it just
00:26:33.300 turned into
00:26:33.760 a personal
00:26:34.840 insult.
00:26:35.760 But I'd
00:26:36.360 like to
00:26:36.640 introduce a
00:26:37.320 new form
00:26:39.140 of insulting
00:26:40.400 narrative
00:26:42.140 wordplay.
00:26:43.120 I call
00:26:45.420 it black
00:26:47.000 words of
00:26:47.600 thinking.
00:26:48.440 Black 0.64
00:26:48.860 words
00:26:49.120 thinking.
00:26:50.200 And that
00:26:50.520 is a
00:26:50.740 tendency
00:26:51.060 for the,
00:26:51.920 let's say
00:26:52.200 the Black
00:26:53.240 Lives Matter
00:26:53.860 types with
00:26:54.920 that mindset
00:26:55.440 to be
00:26:56.460 looking
00:26:56.880 backwards
00:26:58.140 in a
00:27:00.460 black
00:27:01.200 context.
00:27:03.000 And that
00:27:03.640 black words
00:27:04.220 thinking will
00:27:04.820 never compete
00:27:05.540 against forward
00:27:06.580 thinking.
00:27:07.560 So if you
00:27:08.160 think you're
00:27:08.580 going to
00:27:08.780 compete
00:27:09.080 against the
00:27:09.660 Asian
00:27:09.920 Americans
00:27:10.440 by looking
00:27:11.660 backwards,
00:27:12.220 black words,
00:27:14.640 it's not
00:27:15.000 going to
00:27:15.180 work.
00:27:16.180 If you
00:27:16.440 think you're
00:27:16.780 going to
00:27:16.980 compete with
00:27:17.440 white Americans
00:27:18.240 by looking
00:27:19.420 black words
00:27:20.440 and complaining,
00:27:21.920 good luck.
00:27:23.500 Good luck.
00:27:24.580 You're not
00:27:24.960 going to be
00:27:25.300 competitive.
00:27:26.300 You don't
00:27:26.560 have a chance.
00:27:28.060 Now,
00:27:29.160 did I say
00:27:29.800 anything about
00:27:30.800 racism not
00:27:32.060 existing?
00:27:32.760 No.
00:27:33.780 Systemic
00:27:34.340 racism is
00:27:35.060 real.
00:27:36.400 We should
00:27:36.840 definitely
00:27:37.220 take a look
00:27:37.900 at doing
00:27:38.280 whatever we
00:27:38.920 can,
00:27:39.740 wherever we
00:27:40.580 can to
00:27:41.040 minimize it.
00:27:41.660 Absolutely.
00:27:42.820 I'm 100%
00:27:43.640 on board.
00:27:44.940 But you
00:27:45.640 should worry
00:27:46.180 about your
00:27:46.640 own future
00:27:47.440 as your
00:27:48.780 primary concern.
00:27:50.400 And there's
00:27:50.880 plenty of
00:27:51.280 people who
00:27:51.600 help you.
00:27:53.000 Plenty of
00:27:53.520 people who
00:27:53.820 help.
00:27:55.000 If you're
00:27:55.980 a serious
00:27:56.580 person who
00:27:57.240 wants to
00:27:57.660 seriously
00:27:58.120 succeed,
00:27:59.460 find any
00:28:00.400 other successful
00:28:01.400 people and
00:28:02.580 they will all
00:28:03.220 help you.
00:28:04.300 There's a
00:28:04.840 little trick
00:28:05.240 for you.
00:28:06.080 There's one
00:28:06.660 you didn't
00:28:06.980 know.
00:28:08.220 Successful
00:28:08.780 people love
00:28:10.360 to help
00:28:10.920 people who
00:28:12.160 are not
00:28:12.440 yet successful.
00:28:14.120 With this
00:28:14.740 one caution,
00:28:17.440 only if you
00:28:18.080 look like a
00:28:18.620 good bet.
00:28:20.000 Do you
00:28:20.220 know what
00:28:20.400 makes you
00:28:20.700 look like a
00:28:21.220 good bet?
00:28:22.980 Mindset and
00:28:24.060 character.
00:28:25.340 You get that
00:28:26.160 right?
00:28:27.140 You get your
00:28:27.680 mindset and
00:28:28.280 your character
00:28:28.760 right.
00:28:29.640 Search out a
00:28:30.360 successful person
00:28:31.300 and say,
00:28:31.720 I want to be
00:28:32.100 like you.
00:28:33.020 Can you teach
00:28:33.680 me how to
00:28:34.640 do this?
00:28:35.700 The answer
00:28:36.180 is going to
00:28:36.440 be yes.
00:28:36.980 Yeah, I
00:28:37.920 can teach
00:28:38.300 you that.
00:28:39.420 How about
00:28:39.840 a job?
00:28:40.580 You look
00:28:40.920 awesome.
00:28:42.500 Yeah.
00:28:43.340 Being successful
00:28:44.420 is strategy.
00:28:46.400 It's knowing
00:28:46.980 what works
00:28:47.580 and what
00:28:47.900 doesn't and
00:28:48.920 then putting
00:28:49.960 together the
00:28:50.580 things that
00:28:51.000 work and
00:28:51.960 then executing.
00:28:53.360 It works
00:28:53.980 basically 100%
00:28:55.580 of the time.
00:28:56.580 Nothing's 100%,
00:28:57.620 but you know
00:28:57.960 what I mean.
00:28:58.820 Basically 100%
00:28:59.900 of the time.
00:29:01.080 Good character,
00:29:02.880 learning how to
00:29:03.760 succeed or
00:29:04.640 showing the
00:29:05.540 mindset that
00:29:06.180 you're trying
00:29:06.620 to learn
00:29:07.060 how to
00:29:07.400 learn how
00:29:07.820 to succeed.
00:29:08.720 All those
00:29:09.380 things are
00:29:09.820 just gold.
00:29:11.340 Those things
00:29:11.920 will be good.
00:29:13.380 But looking
00:29:13.980 at your
00:29:15.060 past injustices
00:29:16.980 and then talking
00:29:18.120 continuously about
00:29:19.160 how they're
00:29:19.500 holding you
00:29:19.960 back,
00:29:20.540 don't want
00:29:21.200 to be around
00:29:21.680 you.
00:29:22.760 Now, my
00:29:23.300 conversation
00:29:23.780 with Huey
00:29:24.900 Pease's
00:29:25.320 student here
00:29:26.020 turned into
00:29:28.340 him saying,
00:29:29.620 but then I
00:29:30.240 saw in the
00:29:30.920 news that you
00:29:31.500 said you
00:29:32.640 should move
00:29:33.000 away from
00:29:33.380 all black
00:29:33.840 people,
00:29:34.700 to which I
00:29:35.400 responded.
00:29:36.900 You still
00:29:37.400 believe the
00:29:37.900 news?
00:29:41.140 That's really
00:29:41.820 the best
00:29:42.200 response.
00:29:43.380 Do you
00:29:43.940 think you
00:29:44.780 heard the
00:29:45.440 context of
00:29:46.060 that?
00:29:46.960 Do you
00:29:47.180 think you
00:29:47.500 understand what
00:29:48.240 I said and
00:29:48.800 why?
00:29:49.740 Of course
00:29:50.160 not.
00:29:52.440 Anybody who
00:29:53.240 still says they
00:29:53.980 believe the
00:29:54.440 news about a
00:29:56.240 story about a
00:29:56.940 public figure,
00:29:58.180 you have some
00:29:58.880 explaining to do,
00:29:59.700 not the public
00:30:00.240 figure.
00:30:01.320 You have to
00:30:01.860 explain why
00:30:02.380 you're so
00:30:02.760 fucking dumb
00:30:03.620 that you
00:30:04.280 think the
00:30:04.640 news about
00:30:05.260 public figures
00:30:06.380 has a good
00:30:07.660 chance of
00:30:08.080 being accurate
00:30:08.700 and in
00:30:09.760 context and
00:30:10.540 complete.
00:30:11.700 You got some
00:30:12.580 explaining to do
00:30:13.340 if you believe
00:30:13.820 in the news.
00:30:14.360 that's, yeah, I
00:30:17.320 know who
00:30:18.300 Huey P is. 0.99
00:30:19.940 So then he
00:30:24.700 said, blah,
00:30:25.700 blah, blah, you 1.00
00:30:26.180 think white
00:30:28.400 people should move
00:30:29.140 away from black 1.00
00:30:29.820 people?
00:30:30.120 and I
00:30:30.520 corrected him
00:30:31.140 and I
00:30:31.340 said, I
00:30:33.480 said that
00:30:33.960 white people
00:30:34.680 and black
00:30:35.660 people should
00:30:36.200 move away
00:30:36.620 from you
00:30:37.200 because you
00:30:38.960 have a
00:30:39.260 corrosive
00:30:39.760 mindset.
00:30:40.360 I'm paraphrasing
00:30:41.000 that.
00:30:41.420 You didn't
00:30:41.780 use those
00:30:42.180 exact words.
00:30:43.400 But the
00:30:43.660 point was,
00:30:44.540 yeah, black 0.63
00:30:45.040 people should
00:30:45.520 move away
00:30:45.900 from you,
00:30:47.240 Black Lives
00:30:47.740 Matter supporter,
00:30:48.760 because you're
00:30:49.180 bad for them.
00:30:50.680 You're taking
00:30:51.180 them down the
00:30:51.640 wrong path.
00:30:52.780 Yes, absolutely,
00:30:54.460 white people
00:30:55.000 and black
00:30:55.600 people should
00:30:56.560 move away
00:30:56.960 from this
00:30:57.360 guy and
00:30:58.320 anybody who
00:30:58.820 has this
00:30:59.120 mindset.
00:31:00.120 Be they 0.73
00:31:00.620 white or
00:31:01.160 black, get 0.91
00:31:02.500 the hell
00:31:03.100 away from
00:31:03.500 that.
00:31:04.720 If you
00:31:05.920 can't fix
00:31:06.480 them, and
00:31:07.340 it's pretty
00:31:07.760 hard to do,
00:31:08.620 just get some
00:31:09.260 distance.
00:31:09.780 You don't
00:31:09.980 want to be
00:31:10.240 around anybody
00:31:10.980 who thinks
00:31:11.380 you're the
00:31:11.780 problem.
00:31:13.580 All right.
00:31:17.180 So I'm
00:31:17.860 sure that my
00:31:19.180 last tweet will
00:31:19.880 just make him
00:31:20.380 hate me for
00:31:20.960 some reason.
00:31:22.120 Okay, the
00:31:22.820 abortion pill,
00:31:23.660 let's talk
00:31:23.960 about that.
00:31:25.580 So the
00:31:26.140 Supreme
00:31:26.440 Court, in
00:31:27.620 a mysterious
00:31:28.280 ruling,
00:31:28.900 one, let's
00:31:30.840 see, they
00:31:31.460 granted the
00:31:33.120 request by
00:31:34.240 the blah, blah,
00:31:34.840 blah, to
00:31:35.240 intervene.
00:31:36.440 So the
00:31:37.000 earlier judge
00:31:38.060 had stopped
00:31:38.680 the abortion
00:31:40.120 pill from,
00:31:41.620 or tried to
00:31:42.400 stop it from
00:31:42.880 being available.
00:31:43.980 Supreme
00:31:44.400 Court took
00:31:44.860 it up and
00:31:45.260 they said,
00:31:45.620 no, you
00:31:46.060 can't stop
00:31:46.660 it from
00:31:46.960 being, you
00:31:48.140 can't stop
00:31:48.880 it from
00:31:49.200 being available.
00:31:50.560 So that
00:31:51.280 means it
00:31:51.680 is available.
00:31:52.180 So the
00:31:53.040 Supreme
00:31:53.300 Court has
00:31:53.820 ruled,
00:31:55.000 somewhat
00:31:55.620 confusingly,
00:31:57.660 that you
00:31:59.020 can have
00:31:59.380 access to
00:31:59.940 your abortion
00:32:00.400 pill.
00:32:01.760 Now, let's
00:32:03.620 do a little
00:32:04.260 speculating
00:32:05.540 here, because
00:32:06.000 we can't
00:32:06.420 read their
00:32:06.760 minds.
00:32:07.860 Are you
00:32:08.200 surprised that
00:32:09.300 a conservative
00:32:10.120 majority came
00:32:12.300 up with that
00:32:12.780 ruling?
00:32:13.720 Are you
00:32:14.020 surprised?
00:32:15.440 No?
00:32:16.460 Not surprised.
00:32:17.220 Okay.
00:32:17.880 Now, is that
00:32:18.360 because you
00:32:19.560 believe that the
00:32:21.120 conservatives
00:32:22.460 are more
00:32:23.160 literal, and
00:32:24.780 therefore it's
00:32:25.460 not political,
00:32:27.540 rather it is
00:32:28.540 really just,
00:32:30.720 yes, okay.
00:32:33.520 So I'm not
00:32:34.800 sure I
00:32:35.260 completely buy
00:32:36.060 into that, but
00:32:36.540 I see where
00:32:36.920 you're going
00:32:37.260 with that.
00:32:38.080 I get your
00:32:38.880 point.
00:32:39.480 You know, the
00:32:39.780 people who
00:32:40.360 are trying to
00:32:40.920 be literalists,
00:32:42.320 in theory, you
00:32:44.540 should trust
00:32:45.060 them over
00:32:45.780 someone who
00:32:46.300 doesn't say
00:32:46.980 they want to
00:32:48.080 be literal.
00:32:49.340 Or what do
00:32:50.040 they call it?
00:32:50.540 Originalists,
00:32:51.120 right?
00:32:51.400 The originalists,
00:32:52.720 as in interpret
00:32:53.520 the Constitution
00:32:54.280 the way it
00:32:54.660 was originally
00:32:55.220 meant to be
00:32:56.060 interpreted.
00:32:57.140 So I can see
00:32:58.000 why you trust
00:32:58.580 them a little
00:32:58.940 bit more.
00:32:59.440 I have the
00:33:00.000 same feeling,
00:33:00.580 by the way.
00:33:02.060 Although I
00:33:02.700 don't identify
00:33:03.440 as being a
00:33:04.340 conservative,
00:33:05.920 I would buy
00:33:06.600 the argument
00:33:07.140 that the
00:33:07.640 people who
00:33:08.040 say, let's
00:33:08.660 not make up
00:33:10.480 our own
00:33:10.820 laws, let's
00:33:11.500 just interpret
00:33:12.640 the Constitution
00:33:13.420 by its
00:33:14.000 original intent,
00:33:15.280 that feels
00:33:16.280 reasonable.
00:33:17.840 You know, I
00:33:18.300 have always
00:33:18.580 respect that
00:33:19.160 point of view.
00:33:19.740 So, here's
00:33:21.980 what I
00:33:22.260 think.
00:33:23.500 Here's the
00:33:24.160 weirdest part
00:33:24.640 of the story.
00:33:27.500 Let's see,
00:33:28.020 there was
00:33:28.200 Justices Clarence
00:33:30.260 Thomas and
00:33:31.140 Samuel Alito
00:33:32.440 publicly dissented.
00:33:35.680 The votes of
00:33:36.440 the other
00:33:36.780 justices were
00:33:37.620 not disclosed.
00:33:40.480 Huh.
00:33:41.200 Does that
00:33:41.720 mean that the
00:33:42.220 argument will
00:33:42.960 not be disclosed
00:33:43.840 as well?
00:33:44.280 Well, can
00:33:45.580 somebody give
00:33:46.040 me a fact
00:33:46.480 check?
00:33:47.580 Are we
00:33:47.980 going to
00:33:48.240 see not
00:33:48.900 written
00:33:49.400 arguments from
00:33:50.820 the majority
00:33:51.720 as well as
00:33:52.300 the minority?
00:33:54.560 Or does
00:33:55.100 that come
00:33:55.400 later?
00:33:57.680 Yeah, since
00:33:58.400 when do you
00:33:58.880 not disclose
00:33:59.520 who voted
00:34:00.000 for what?
00:34:00.980 This is
00:34:01.580 really sketchy
00:34:02.320 to me.
00:34:03.480 I'm going to
00:34:04.060 speculate.
00:34:05.080 You ready?
00:34:06.560 Speculation
00:34:07.040 coming.
00:34:07.360 I believe that
00:34:09.300 the Supreme
00:34:09.900 Court has
00:34:11.900 two competing
00:34:14.780 let's say
00:34:17.420 objectives.
00:34:20.180 Objective
00:34:20.740 number one
00:34:21.340 is to
00:34:21.940 properly
00:34:22.600 interpret the
00:34:23.420 law according
00:34:24.160 to the
00:34:24.600 Constitution.
00:34:26.260 We all
00:34:26.700 agree with
00:34:27.160 that one,
00:34:27.580 right?
00:34:28.760 Right.
00:34:29.600 The other
00:34:30.000 one, well,
00:34:31.160 maybe three.
00:34:32.160 Credibility
00:34:32.700 is related to
00:34:34.420 the second
00:34:34.780 thing I'm
00:34:35.140 going to
00:34:35.260 say.
00:34:35.720 The second
00:34:36.140 thing is to
00:34:36.660 keep the
00:34:36.960 country from
00:34:37.460 being destroyed.
00:34:39.100 Now, nowhere
00:34:39.820 does it say
00:34:40.400 that's your
00:34:40.800 job.
00:34:41.900 Right.
00:34:43.000 There's
00:34:43.480 nothing that
00:34:43.940 says, as
00:34:44.700 part of the
00:34:45.260 Supreme
00:34:45.660 Court, make
00:34:46.640 sure that
00:34:46.980 your decisions
00:34:47.600 do not rip
00:34:48.420 the country
00:34:48.860 apart.
00:34:49.740 It doesn't
00:34:50.200 say that
00:34:50.580 anywhere.
00:34:52.420 But, they
00:34:54.400 are humans.
00:34:55.980 They are
00:34:56.440 humans.
00:34:57.520 They are
00:34:58.000 citizens.
00:35:00.220 They're people
00:35:01.160 who presumably
00:35:01.780 care about
00:35:02.420 their country.
00:35:03.580 Do you
00:35:03.920 think they're
00:35:04.260 going to
00:35:04.600 ignore the
00:35:06.100 impact of
00:35:07.500 their decisions
00:35:08.100 on the
00:35:08.820 whole country?
00:35:09.600 I don't
00:35:10.080 think so.
00:35:10.540 And I
00:35:11.880 think that,
00:35:13.020 as I said
00:35:13.980 yesterday, if
00:35:14.780 the Supreme
00:35:15.280 Court had
00:35:15.780 said that
00:35:16.700 this abortion 0.99
00:35:17.620 pill would
00:35:18.220 not be
00:35:18.700 available, you
00:35:19.940 could just
00:35:20.320 cancel the
00:35:20.880 elections.
00:35:22.220 Just cancel
00:35:22.780 the elections.
00:35:23.800 Just give it
00:35:24.460 to the
00:35:24.720 Democrats.
00:35:25.720 Because I
00:35:26.200 think that
00:35:26.720 this would
00:35:27.520 be like the
00:35:28.280 abortion Roe
00:35:30.060 versus Wade
00:35:30.440 decision.
00:35:31.520 This one
00:35:32.220 would just
00:35:33.020 make the
00:35:33.580 women say, 1.00
00:35:34.440 all right,
00:35:34.700 we're done.
00:35:35.440 We're done
00:35:36.020 with Republicans.
00:35:36.740 This is too
00:35:37.980 far.
00:35:39.500 So it
00:35:41.420 almost feels
00:35:42.240 as if the
00:35:43.480 Supreme
00:35:44.300 Court was
00:35:44.940 acting maybe
00:35:48.320 in the best
00:35:48.860 interest of
00:35:49.440 the integrity
00:35:49.960 of the
00:35:50.260 country.
00:35:52.880 Now, I
00:35:53.460 don't know
00:35:53.800 that, and I
00:35:55.420 don't know if
00:35:55.800 anybody would
00:35:56.300 ever say that
00:35:56.960 out loud.
00:35:57.880 Nobody would
00:35:58.520 write it down.
00:35:59.540 But it feels
00:36:00.080 like if you
00:36:01.400 had that job,
00:36:02.040 I put myself
00:36:02.660 in that
00:36:02.940 situation.
00:36:04.080 Put myself
00:36:04.880 in that
00:36:05.180 situation.
00:36:06.860 There's this
00:36:07.500 argument, and
00:36:08.440 it's a
00:36:08.780 technical one
00:36:09.660 about whether
00:36:10.140 the FDA has
00:36:11.140 some responsibility
00:36:12.980 over the pill
00:36:13.840 or something.
00:36:14.580 So it's sort
00:36:15.040 of a technical
00:36:15.920 thing.
00:36:17.340 And the
00:36:17.500 reason it got
00:36:18.500 to the
00:36:18.780 Supreme
00:36:19.040 Court is it
00:36:19.580 could go
00:36:19.900 either way.
00:36:21.460 It doesn't
00:36:22.220 get to the
00:36:22.680 Supreme
00:36:23.080 Court unless
00:36:24.700 legitimately you
00:36:25.880 could imagine,
00:36:26.600 well, that
00:36:27.600 could go
00:36:27.920 either way.
00:36:28.900 Like there's
00:36:29.320 an argument
00:36:29.740 either way.
00:36:30.500 Otherwise,
00:36:30.940 they don't
00:36:31.180 even pick it
00:36:31.620 up.
00:36:32.760 So if
00:36:33.480 there's an
00:36:33.880 argument either
00:36:34.440 way, and
00:36:36.200 you think
00:36:36.640 that one
00:36:37.900 ruling would
00:36:38.560 rip the
00:36:38.980 country apart
00:36:39.640 and just
00:36:40.060 change the
00:36:40.640 nature of
00:36:41.240 civilization,
00:36:43.240 and the
00:36:43.580 other way
00:36:43.940 would just
00:36:44.260 be business
00:36:44.780 as usual.
00:36:46.040 Because remember,
00:36:46.920 it was legal
00:36:47.620 before, and
00:36:48.920 that wasn't
00:36:49.440 ripping the 0.91
00:36:49.900 country apart.
00:36:51.280 So they're
00:36:51.700 like, one
00:36:52.480 thing will
00:36:52.880 rip the
00:36:53.260 country apart,
00:36:54.800 one will
00:36:55.360 just be
00:36:55.720 business as
00:36:56.320 usual, and
00:36:57.860 people were
00:36:58.480 already sort
00:36:59.680 of used to
00:37:00.120 having this
00:37:00.560 pill available,
00:37:01.800 like society
00:37:02.740 had adjusted
00:37:03.320 to it.
00:37:04.440 I don't
00:37:05.700 know.
00:37:07.080 Yeah, systems
00:37:07.920 versus goals,
00:37:08.820 that's exactly
00:37:09.680 it.
00:37:10.220 It could be
00:37:11.080 that the
00:37:11.820 Supreme Court
00:37:13.320 valued the
00:37:14.360 integrity of
00:37:15.000 the system
00:37:15.560 over the
00:37:17.420 decision.
00:37:19.460 Now, I
00:37:20.140 don't think
00:37:20.540 anybody would
00:37:21.020 ever say
00:37:21.400 that out
00:37:21.780 loud, even
00:37:23.380 if in their
00:37:24.660 minds they
00:37:25.140 were thinking
00:37:25.540 that.
00:37:26.340 And maybe
00:37:26.820 they didn't
00:37:27.220 think it
00:37:27.620 consciously.
00:37:28.480 It could
00:37:28.740 also be a
00:37:29.440 subconscious
00:37:29.960 instinct to
00:37:32.140 protect the
00:37:32.700 system, because
00:37:33.940 that would be
00:37:34.280 a good
00:37:34.540 instinct.
00:37:35.260 You should
00:37:35.580 all have
00:37:35.880 that instinct.
00:37:38.780 So I'm
00:37:39.660 going to
00:37:39.840 give a
00:37:40.240 tentative
00:37:40.980 thumbs up
00:37:42.380 to the
00:37:44.020 decision, and
00:37:45.820 not because
00:37:46.440 it has
00:37:46.720 anything to
00:37:47.180 do with
00:37:47.440 the pill.
00:37:48.940 That's a
00:37:49.600 separate
00:37:49.980 conversation
00:37:51.340 whether that
00:37:51.920 should be
00:37:52.220 available.
00:37:53.480 But did
00:37:54.440 the Supreme
00:37:54.980 Court make
00:37:56.720 what I call
00:37:57.260 the football
00:37:58.200 decision?
00:37:58.760 did they
00:37:59.760 make a
00:38:00.200 hard
00:38:00.500 decision
00:38:01.080 because that
00:38:02.180 was their
00:38:02.560 job, and
00:38:04.040 there's no
00:38:05.460 guide to
00:38:08.640 tell you how
00:38:09.100 to handle
00:38:09.400 that specific
00:38:10.200 situation in
00:38:11.080 this specific
00:38:11.720 case?
00:38:12.740 It feels
00:38:13.540 like they
00:38:16.580 decided to
00:38:17.660 keep the
00:38:19.140 public calm.
00:38:21.200 That's what
00:38:21.560 it feels
00:38:21.840 like.
00:38:22.680 What do
00:38:23.040 you think?
00:38:23.860 Do you
00:38:24.180 think that
00:38:24.500 was a
00:38:25.120 legitimate
00:38:25.820 just-by-the-book
00:38:27.080 decision, or
00:38:28.300 do you
00:38:28.480 think they
00:38:28.780 were looking
00:38:29.160 at the
00:38:29.440 bigger picture
00:38:29.980 of civilization
00:38:31.400 and the
00:38:33.860 integrity of
00:38:34.460 the system?
00:38:36.760 And I
00:38:37.140 don't have
00:38:37.420 any problem
00:38:37.860 if they
00:38:38.740 consider the
00:38:39.480 integrity of
00:38:40.100 the system.
00:38:41.160 Because the
00:38:41.840 reason we
00:38:42.200 have humans
00:38:42.720 as judges,
00:38:44.460 the reason we
00:38:44.900 have humans
00:38:45.440 as DAs,
00:38:47.080 and humans
00:38:48.100 as jury
00:38:49.660 trials, is
00:38:51.540 because you
00:38:52.280 want the 0.55
00:38:52.960 people to
00:38:53.740 be able to
00:38:54.400 make the
00:38:54.880 exceptions when
00:38:55.820 it makes
00:38:56.120 sense.
00:38:57.120 If they
00:38:57.580 made an
00:38:57.980 exception,
00:38:58.700 and just
00:38:58.920 sort of
00:38:59.260 if, and
00:38:59.820 this is
00:39:00.100 speculative,
00:39:00.940 if they
00:39:01.360 decided to
00:39:01.960 ignore for
00:39:02.540 a while the
00:39:03.900 constitutional
00:39:04.600 specifics and
00:39:07.020 just say,
00:39:07.660 well, I
00:39:08.480 think we
00:39:08.880 just have to
00:39:09.540 go this
00:39:09.840 way.
00:39:10.100 It just
00:39:10.280 makes more
00:39:10.680 sense.
00:39:11.680 I'd be
00:39:12.200 okay with
00:39:12.540 that.
00:39:13.620 That's why
00:39:14.140 we have
00:39:14.400 humans.
00:39:15.440 All right,
00:39:15.760 here's one
00:39:16.200 that's going
00:39:16.580 to break
00:39:17.040 your brain.
00:39:18.380 So I
00:39:18.700 asked this
00:39:19.160 question,
00:39:20.280 and I'll
00:39:21.440 tell you why
00:39:21.880 in a minute.
00:39:22.160 what, let's
00:39:25.940 see your
00:39:26.220 opinion before
00:39:26.820 I give you
00:39:27.220 the answer.
00:39:28.600 In your
00:39:29.240 opinion, what
00:39:30.960 percentage of
00:39:32.020 trans people
00:39:33.280 end up
00:39:34.360 regretting their
00:39:35.580 transition?
00:39:38.440 Look at the
00:39:39.000 numbers.
00:39:39.420 I'll just read
00:39:39.880 off some of
00:39:40.280 the numbers.
00:39:41.240 Now, remember,
00:39:42.280 none of us are
00:39:43.580 in the know,
00:39:44.340 right?
00:39:44.960 We're just
00:39:45.400 sort of
00:39:45.740 ignorantly
00:39:46.280 looking into,
00:39:47.520 unless you
00:39:48.000 are actually
00:39:48.480 trans.
00:39:48.880 If you're
00:39:50.040 not trans,
00:39:51.260 you don't
00:39:52.120 know a lot
00:39:52.640 about this
00:39:53.080 category,
00:39:53.660 right?
00:39:54.560 So I'm
00:39:54.880 seeing numbers
00:39:55.460 from 90
00:39:56.100 to 25%.
00:39:57.280 You want
00:39:58.480 to know
00:39:58.660 the real
00:39:58.920 number?
00:40:00.180 Way under
00:40:00.860 1%.
00:40:01.720 Like, way
00:40:05.180 under 1%.
00:40:06.580 Yeah.
00:40:08.820 What percentage
00:40:09.620 of people
00:40:10.120 regret just
00:40:11.740 a regular
00:40:12.180 surgery?
00:40:13.560 Just a
00:40:14.020 normal surgery?
00:40:15.180 What percent
00:40:15.700 of regret?
00:40:16.880 Maybe 5%?
00:40:17.660 Depends on
00:40:19.540 the surgery,
00:40:20.040 right?
00:40:20.800 Don't you
00:40:21.280 think a lot
00:40:21.660 of people
00:40:21.940 say, oh,
00:40:22.340 I wish I
00:40:22.680 hadn't gotten
00:40:23.000 that surgery?
00:40:24.700 Yeah.
00:40:25.240 There are a lot
00:40:25.760 of surgeries
00:40:26.200 where you
00:40:27.700 can't be sure
00:40:28.200 it's going to
00:40:28.560 work.
00:40:29.040 So a lot
00:40:29.500 of people
00:40:29.720 just end up
00:40:30.220 regretting it.
00:40:31.840 But the,
00:40:33.100 according to,
00:40:34.560 now, I know,
00:40:36.280 I know, I know,
00:40:38.000 I know what
00:40:38.500 you're thinking.
00:40:39.620 You're thinking
00:40:40.360 my way less
00:40:41.360 than 1% number
00:40:42.420 is complete
00:40:42.940 bullshit,
00:40:43.440 right?
00:40:44.320 Is that what
00:40:44.760 you're thinking?
00:40:45.460 Say it.
00:40:46.620 Say it.
00:40:47.660 You think
00:40:48.220 that number
00:40:48.680 is complete
00:40:49.460 bullshit.
00:40:50.680 Now, all I
00:40:51.640 know is the
00:40:52.360 source, right?
00:40:53.780 All I know
00:40:54.300 is the
00:40:54.580 source.
00:40:55.320 The source
00:40:55.980 is Google.
00:40:58.420 Google's,
00:40:59.080 where Google
00:40:59.620 summarizes,
00:41:00.640 you know,
00:41:00.920 the most
00:41:01.600 asked questions
00:41:02.380 when you
00:41:02.760 search.
00:41:03.900 That's one
00:41:04.560 of the most
00:41:04.940 asked questions.
00:41:06.540 And their
00:41:07.040 answer,
00:41:07.860 authoritatively,
00:41:09.420 with no
00:41:10.260 waffling,
00:41:12.160 is that there
00:41:12.900 was, I don't
00:41:13.620 know,
00:41:13.740 some study
00:41:14.320 and it came
00:41:14.780 up with way
00:41:15.280 less than
00:41:15.600 1%.
00:41:16.100 Now, I'm
00:41:18.020 going to fool
00:41:18.460 you by agreeing
00:41:19.320 with that
00:41:19.720 number.
00:41:21.520 But you
00:41:21.860 didn't see
00:41:22.180 that coming,
00:41:22.700 did you?
00:41:23.360 I agree
00:41:23.800 with that
00:41:24.100 number.
00:41:24.920 Do you
00:41:25.140 know why?
00:41:26.800 Everything I
00:41:27.500 know about
00:41:27.900 everything suggests
00:41:28.780 it should be
00:41:29.240 about that.
00:41:30.240 It should be
00:41:30.540 under 1%.
00:41:31.460 Ask me why.
00:41:33.740 Do you
00:41:33.960 know why?
00:41:36.400 Because it's
00:41:37.020 not like other
00:41:37.680 surgeries.
00:41:39.340 When you're
00:41:39.960 getting a knee
00:41:40.880 surgery,
00:41:42.220 it's just,
00:41:42.980 you're just
00:41:43.360 looking at
00:41:43.840 costs and
00:41:44.400 benefits and
00:41:44.980 you're taking
00:41:45.320 a gas and
00:41:45.960 if it doesn't
00:41:46.920 go well,
00:41:47.340 you're going
00:41:47.600 to complain
00:41:48.040 forever.
00:41:48.900 Right?
00:41:49.560 But if you
00:41:50.140 make a decision
00:41:50.860 so fundamental
00:41:52.320 to yourself,
00:41:54.020 like your
00:41:54.460 identity,
00:41:55.540 it's not
00:41:55.880 your knee,
00:41:57.240 it's you.
00:41:58.480 It's like
00:41:58.880 your very
00:41:59.880 existence on
00:42:00.860 this planet
00:42:01.420 is being
00:42:02.560 redefined.
00:42:03.360 It's not a
00:42:03.840 bad knee.
00:42:05.420 If you
00:42:06.040 define your
00:42:07.200 entire existence
00:42:08.260 so much so
00:42:09.940 that you've
00:42:10.820 done some
00:42:11.220 medical procedure
00:42:12.420 to achieve
00:42:13.380 it,
00:42:14.060 the odds
00:42:15.020 are that
00:42:16.880 your brain
00:42:17.360 will tell
00:42:17.740 you you
00:42:18.040 made the
00:42:18.380 right decision.
00:42:19.780 Why?
00:42:20.560 Because that's
00:42:20.940 how brains
00:42:21.320 work.
00:42:22.380 That's how
00:42:22.760 brains work.
00:42:23.780 If you do
00:42:24.360 something that
00:42:24.940 radical,
00:42:26.460 you do not
00:42:27.180 imagine you
00:42:28.180 made a mistake
00:42:29.080 later,
00:42:30.000 even if you
00:42:30.540 did.
00:42:31.600 And I'm not
00:42:32.120 saying they
00:42:32.500 did.
00:42:32.920 I don't know,
00:42:33.520 one way or
00:42:34.020 the other.
00:42:34.680 I'm just
00:42:35.240 saying that
00:42:36.400 I would
00:42:36.900 expect a
00:42:38.780 very,
00:42:39.400 very low
00:42:39.840 rate of
00:42:40.260 regret.
00:42:40.720 And I
00:42:42.880 would expect
00:42:43.380 that because
00:42:44.140 the decision
00:42:44.920 is so
00:42:45.460 big,
00:42:46.500 that's what
00:42:47.060 causes
00:42:47.420 cognitive
00:42:47.940 dissonance.
00:42:48.920 A small
00:42:49.560 trivial decision
00:42:50.540 that you
00:42:50.840 get wrong,
00:42:51.940 you'll easily
00:42:52.580 say,
00:42:52.920 oh,
00:42:53.020 I fucked
00:42:53.320 that up.
00:42:54.060 Right?
00:42:54.580 If you
00:42:55.180 take a
00:42:55.540 wrong route
00:42:56.140 to a
00:42:56.840 destination
00:42:57.380 and it
00:42:58.320 makes you
00:42:58.680 late,
00:42:59.980 you usually
00:43:00.540 blame yourself
00:43:01.340 because it's
00:43:02.740 like a trivial
00:43:03.440 decision.
00:43:04.100 I'm an
00:43:04.780 idiot. 0.79
00:43:05.260 Why did
00:43:05.540 I do
00:43:05.740 that?
00:43:05.980 But if
00:43:06.700 you make
00:43:07.020 a big
00:43:07.720 decision,
00:43:09.320 like a
00:43:09.740 really big
00:43:10.380 decision,
00:43:11.560 you'll end
00:43:12.460 up telling
00:43:12.840 yourself it
00:43:13.360 was the
00:43:13.600 right decision,
00:43:14.660 no matter
00:43:15.480 what.
00:43:16.260 Now,
00:43:16.500 here's the
00:43:16.780 real question.
00:43:17.380 Are some
00:43:17.700 of you
00:43:17.920 saying,
00:43:18.540 yes,
00:43:18.920 but you're
00:43:19.240 wrong?
00:43:20.400 Like,
00:43:20.860 really,
00:43:21.180 it was a
00:43:21.500 bad decision,
00:43:22.860 but in
00:43:23.260 your mind
00:43:23.700 you think
00:43:24.040 it's right,
00:43:24.820 so you're
00:43:25.220 wrong about
00:43:25.600 that.
00:43:26.680 No,
00:43:26.960 you're not.
00:43:28.740 If you
00:43:29.360 think you're
00:43:29.860 happy,
00:43:30.200 you're happy.
00:43:31.360 End of
00:43:31.800 story.
00:43:33.200 Right?
00:43:33.540 It's not up
00:43:34.180 to me to
00:43:34.640 tell you you're
00:43:35.140 not happy.
00:43:35.580 If you
00:43:35.900 think you're
00:43:36.340 happy,
00:43:37.020 if you
00:43:37.720 think you
00:43:38.100 made the
00:43:38.400 right choice,
00:43:38.960 that has
00:43:39.680 nothing to
00:43:40.080 do with
00:43:40.300 me.
00:43:40.720 I'm out.
00:43:41.500 I have
00:43:41.900 nothing to
00:43:42.340 do with
00:43:42.600 that.
00:43:43.340 If you
00:43:43.820 think it's
00:43:44.220 the right
00:43:44.520 choice,
00:43:45.620 that's the
00:43:46.420 right choice.
00:43:47.780 That made
00:43:48.560 you happy.
00:43:49.840 Now,
00:43:50.160 I'd like to
00:43:50.480 add one
00:43:50.900 other thing
00:43:51.400 to support
00:43:54.720 the trans
00:43:55.640 community,
00:43:56.680 because I'm
00:43:57.180 a big
00:43:57.520 supporter.
00:43:58.840 It goes
00:43:59.360 like this.
00:44:00.680 I think
00:44:01.420 we all
00:44:02.080 necessarily
00:44:03.140 look at
00:44:03.740 the trans
00:44:04.220 situation
00:44:04.760 through
00:44:06.000 our own
00:44:06.840 filter
00:44:07.320 of our
00:44:07.900 own
00:44:08.080 experience.
00:44:09.420 If you
00:44:10.060 have never
00:44:10.520 experienced
00:44:11.240 whatever this
00:44:12.360 gender dysmorphia
00:44:14.160 thing is,
00:44:14.900 I've never
00:44:15.360 experienced it.
00:44:16.280 I've never
00:44:16.660 had a whiff
00:44:17.200 of it.
00:44:17.560 I have no
00:44:17.960 idea what
00:44:18.360 that's about.
00:44:19.520 If you've
00:44:20.200 never experienced
00:44:20.980 it,
00:44:21.760 you have no
00:44:22.640 idea.
00:44:24.460 And I'm not
00:44:25.280 sure you should
00:44:25.740 ever have an
00:44:26.200 opinion on it.
00:44:27.560 That was
00:44:27.900 somebody else's
00:44:28.560 transition.
00:44:29.740 Now,
00:44:30.000 we're talking
00:44:30.320 adults.
00:44:31.200 Remember,
00:44:32.180 just adults.
00:44:32.900 kids are
00:44:33.880 a different
00:44:34.200 topic.
00:44:35.440 But for
00:44:36.600 adults,
00:44:37.820 do you
00:44:38.180 really think
00:44:38.860 you can
00:44:39.220 understand how
00:44:39.980 it feels?
00:44:41.780 These are
00:44:42.560 people who
00:44:43.180 are physically
00:44:44.840 altering
00:44:45.640 themselves
00:44:47.180 permanently,
00:44:49.180 I guess,
00:44:49.800 or semi-permanently,
00:44:50.880 depending on what
00:44:51.480 they're doing.
00:44:52.360 And that's a
00:44:54.220 big,
00:44:54.700 big,
00:44:55.080 big decision.
00:44:56.840 You don't
00:44:57.660 think that
00:44:58.700 there's something
00:44:59.180 going on in
00:44:59.800 their head
00:45:00.140 that is so
00:45:01.980 brutal that
00:45:04.160 such a,
00:45:05.540 I'd call it a
00:45:06.160 fairly radical
00:45:06.980 decision,
00:45:08.000 makes sense.
00:45:10.320 You cannot
00:45:11.140 understand how
00:45:12.520 they feel.
00:45:13.400 You cannot.
00:45:14.440 And if you
00:45:14.820 don't understand
00:45:15.440 how they feel,
00:45:17.100 then you can't
00:45:18.120 be a participant
00:45:19.000 even to judge
00:45:20.600 if they made
00:45:21.220 the right decision.
00:45:22.420 Let me give you
00:45:23.180 an example.
00:45:24.140 Have you ever
00:45:24.620 done something
00:45:25.180 in your life
00:45:25.880 that you knew
00:45:26.720 was the wrong
00:45:27.360 decision,
00:45:28.660 and you were
00:45:29.100 going to do it
00:45:29.580 anyway,
00:45:30.100 because it's
00:45:30.460 just how you
00:45:30.920 felt?
00:45:33.780 Sometimes you
00:45:34.480 just feel
00:45:35.280 so strongly
00:45:36.980 about something
00:45:37.780 that I don't
00:45:39.280 want to hear
00:45:39.660 anybody's argument,
00:45:40.640 I don't care
00:45:41.080 how good it is.
00:45:42.320 Don't tell me
00:45:42.860 how good your
00:45:43.460 argument is,
00:45:44.060 sometimes you
00:45:44.480 just need to
00:45:44.980 punch somebody. 0.55
00:45:46.240 Yeah, I know
00:45:46.680 I'm going to
00:45:47.000 go to jail, 0.97
00:45:47.640 I'm going to
00:45:47.900 do it anyway.
00:45:49.380 So the
00:45:50.780 feelings that
00:45:52.400 people have
00:45:52.820 are part of
00:45:53.220 the decision.
00:45:54.640 If you don't
00:45:55.280 know how people
00:45:55.760 feel,
00:45:57.460 and that's the
00:45:58.100 biggest part
00:45:58.620 of the decision,
00:45:59.980 then don't
00:46:00.540 second guess
00:46:01.260 whether they'd
00:46:01.740 be happy about
00:46:02.380 it, because
00:46:03.620 that would be
00:46:04.100 kind of crazy.
00:46:06.760 So that's
00:46:08.040 my, I
00:46:09.020 wanted you
00:46:09.360 to hear this.
00:46:10.000 So I
00:46:10.420 heard this
00:46:10.920 yesterday on
00:46:11.740 CNN, Jake
00:46:12.660 Tapper was
00:46:13.420 interviewing, I
00:46:15.300 think a
00:46:15.600 Montana
00:46:16.320 legislation, or
00:46:18.220 a legislator
00:46:19.720 from Montana,
00:46:20.560 where there
00:46:20.860 was some
00:46:21.160 anti-trans
00:46:21.960 law going
00:46:22.500 on, and
00:46:23.400 the trans
00:46:24.100 government
00:46:27.820 person, I
00:46:28.780 forget what
00:46:29.460 job she 0.60
00:46:30.080 has, explained
00:46:32.380 that their
00:46:32.900 regret level
00:46:33.980 was less
00:46:34.580 than 1%, and
00:46:36.120 then did what
00:46:36.920 I did, which
00:46:37.500 was I borrowed
00:46:38.080 this, compared
00:46:39.440 it to surgeries
00:46:40.380 in general.
00:46:41.920 People have, like
00:46:42.900 back surgery was
00:46:43.740 a good example,
00:46:44.700 people have
00:46:45.200 back surgery,
00:46:46.740 sometimes,
00:46:48.700 afterwards they
00:46:49.520 go, well that
00:46:49.880 was a bad
00:46:50.240 idea, just
00:46:50.800 made it worse.
00:46:52.540 And probably
00:46:53.320 more often than
00:46:54.140 trans, if you
00:46:56.760 believe this
00:46:57.240 surgery.
00:46:58.020 Now, now
00:46:59.400 that I've
00:47:00.220 gone hard in
00:47:00.980 one direction,
00:47:02.900 let me give a
00:47:03.760 little bit of
00:47:04.180 support to some
00:47:05.080 of you who are
00:47:05.600 thinking this
00:47:06.140 right now.
00:47:07.700 Doesn't it seem
00:47:08.380 like there's a
00:47:08.860 lot more
00:47:09.240 transitioning
00:47:10.000 recently?
00:47:12.860 Wouldn't you
00:47:13.480 assume that
00:47:15.360 any major
00:47:16.800 increase in
00:47:17.680 the number of
00:47:18.360 people are
00:47:18.740 transitioning
00:47:19.260 would necessarily
00:47:20.960 pick up people
00:47:22.580 who are a
00:47:23.020 little closer
00:47:23.520 to being on
00:47:24.020 the fence?
00:47:25.960 Presumably.
00:47:26.960 I mean, just
00:47:27.340 the math would
00:47:28.620 suggest that
00:47:29.400 you're picking up
00:47:29.960 more people who
00:47:30.700 would not have,
00:47:31.660 maybe wouldn't
00:47:32.320 have made the
00:47:32.760 change.
00:47:33.680 Now, I can't
00:47:34.640 say for sure
00:47:35.320 that that's bad
00:47:37.220 or good.
00:47:38.780 In other words,
00:47:39.980 maybe those
00:47:40.860 extra people are
00:47:41.780 also happy in
00:47:42.680 the end.
00:47:43.480 They might say,
00:47:44.020 well, I'm glad
00:47:44.420 I did this.
00:47:45.040 I don't know.
00:47:45.880 I mean, I was
00:47:46.300 surprised at the
00:47:46.980 under 1%.
00:47:47.880 If you were
00:47:48.920 surprised at the
00:47:49.620 under 1%,
00:47:50.640 then you should
00:47:52.660 at least,
00:47:53.300 here's all I'll
00:47:54.060 ask you.
00:47:54.960 I'll just ask
00:47:55.580 you this.
00:47:57.720 Just acknowledge
00:47:59.000 that if you
00:48:00.300 didn't know that
00:48:01.020 the official number,
00:48:02.200 whether it's true
00:48:02.740 or not,
00:48:03.620 whether it's true
00:48:04.180 or not,
00:48:04.480 we'll talk about.
00:48:05.400 But if you
00:48:05.800 didn't know that
00:48:06.300 the official number
00:48:07.080 is way less
00:48:08.040 than 1% regret,
00:48:10.800 does it feel
00:48:11.880 weird that you
00:48:12.460 were,
00:48:13.800 you had a
00:48:14.300 strong opinion?
00:48:14.940 Now, again,
00:48:17.440 not about kids.
00:48:18.740 Kids are a
00:48:19.180 different topic.
00:48:20.180 But for adults,
00:48:22.080 a lot of people
00:48:22.800 say no.
00:48:23.620 All right, so let's
00:48:24.120 talk the counter
00:48:24.720 argument.
00:48:25.580 The counter
00:48:25.980 argument goes
00:48:26.620 like this.
00:48:29.620 We believe that
00:48:30.960 your real problem
00:48:31.820 is psychological
00:48:32.920 or mental,
00:48:34.580 and so we
00:48:35.500 should work as
00:48:36.460 hard as we can
00:48:37.060 to fix that
00:48:37.700 part.
00:48:38.500 And if we
00:48:39.240 can, if that's
00:48:40.580 fixable,
00:48:41.780 and I hate to
00:48:42.580 use fixable,
00:48:43.240 because that's
00:48:44.140 insulting to
00:48:44.800 trans.
00:48:46.060 If you say
00:48:47.100 that the
00:48:47.420 trans can be
00:48:48.120 fixed, I
00:48:50.500 legitimately feel
00:48:51.420 that's an
00:48:51.780 insult.
00:48:52.780 That's like
00:48:53.180 saying gay
00:48:53.680 people can be
00:48:54.300 fixed.
00:48:55.060 That genuinely
00:48:55.900 feels like just
00:48:56.840 an insult to
00:48:57.740 me.
00:48:58.760 So be careful
00:48:59.960 about how you
00:49:00.520 word these
00:49:00.920 things, because
00:49:01.600 there's sort
00:49:02.300 of some traps
00:49:02.820 here.
00:49:03.840 But I would
00:49:06.120 agree with you
00:49:06.920 that there has
00:49:09.220 to be at this
00:49:09.860 point some
00:49:10.920 percent, I
00:49:11.860 don't know how
00:49:12.200 big or small
00:49:12.740 it is, probably
00:49:13.480 small, of
00:49:14.820 people who are
00:49:15.560 just being
00:49:16.000 caught up in
00:49:16.620 the persuasion
00:49:17.260 of it, and
00:49:18.600 that those
00:49:19.000 people are far
00:49:20.100 more likely to
00:49:20.880 regret it than
00:49:22.060 the people who
00:49:22.540 have genuinely
00:49:23.460 something deep
00:49:24.980 inside their
00:49:26.300 minds that
00:49:26.900 needs to be
00:49:27.380 addressed, you
00:49:28.500 know, in
00:49:28.660 terms of their
00:49:29.140 dysmorphia or
00:49:29.960 whatever.
00:49:30.920 So I would
00:49:32.700 guess that the
00:49:33.540 way under one
00:49:34.440 percent number
00:49:35.060 will increase.
00:49:36.500 Would you
00:49:36.880 agree with
00:49:37.240 that?
00:49:38.400 That the
00:49:38.960 trend, just
00:49:40.040 because it's
00:49:41.220 more accepted,
00:49:42.540 you're going
00:49:42.900 to get more
00:49:43.360 people who
00:49:43.900 are not as
00:49:45.200 committed to
00:49:45.820 the change, but
00:49:46.980 still do it,
00:49:48.560 just not as
00:49:49.200 committed to
00:49:49.700 it.
00:49:50.500 In theory, the
00:49:51.440 ones who are
00:49:51.800 not as
00:49:52.600 committed are
00:49:54.240 going to maybe
00:49:55.620 have more
00:49:56.080 regret, but
00:49:57.440 what if it
00:49:57.880 doubles?
00:49:59.320 If it
00:49:59.920 doubles, it
00:50:00.420 only goes to
00:50:00.960 two percent,
00:50:01.960 actually way
00:50:02.480 less than
00:50:02.840 two percent.
00:50:03.640 It would be
00:50:03.900 like 1.3 or
00:50:06.420 something, if
00:50:08.640 it doubled.
00:50:10.620 So there's
00:50:11.580 plenty of
00:50:12.080 room for it
00:50:13.460 to get worse
00:50:14.180 before it
00:50:14.880 would change
00:50:15.500 the fact that
00:50:16.380 it needs to
00:50:17.480 be an option
00:50:17.980 for some
00:50:18.480 people.
00:50:21.300 Yeah.
00:50:21.900 And then
00:50:22.500 the more
00:50:25.340 basic question,
00:50:26.800 is the less
00:50:28.720 than one
00:50:29.280 percent accurate?
00:50:32.200 And then
00:50:32.640 somebody asked
00:50:33.260 this terrible
00:50:33.800 question.
00:50:34.820 This is a
00:50:35.380 horrible
00:50:35.620 question.
00:50:36.740 I hate
00:50:37.560 myself for
00:50:38.100 asking the
00:50:38.560 question, but
00:50:39.800 it feels
00:50:40.220 relevant.
00:50:41.780 Did they
00:50:42.220 count the
00:50:42.600 people who
00:50:42.980 killed
00:50:43.160 themselves?
00:50:45.540 Because they
00:50:46.320 would maybe
00:50:47.700 be in the
00:50:49.560 category of
00:50:50.160 people who
00:50:50.520 regretted it.
00:50:51.640 But I
00:50:52.060 would think
00:50:52.740 more likely
00:50:53.420 if they took
00:50:55.220 their lives
00:50:55.720 because there
00:50:56.260 was something
00:50:56.740 in general
00:50:59.180 that was
00:50:59.840 bothering them
00:51:00.420 even before
00:51:01.020 they transitioned.
00:51:02.700 So probably
00:51:03.600 the self
00:51:05.280 harm is
00:51:06.900 related to
00:51:07.940 the person
00:51:09.560 overall and
00:51:10.320 maybe not
00:51:10.780 just the
00:51:11.460 gender part. 0.99
00:51:13.200 No way to
00:51:13.980 know.
00:51:15.140 But I'll
00:51:15.800 give you
00:51:16.100 this.
00:51:16.920 I don't
00:51:17.380 believe the
00:51:18.140 under one
00:51:18.920 percent number
00:51:19.680 is accurate.
00:51:22.300 Do you feel
00:51:22.960 more comfortable
00:51:23.480 with that?
00:51:24.200 I don't believe
00:51:25.040 that number is
00:51:25.520 accurate.
00:51:26.660 I think it's
00:51:27.280 more because
00:51:29.300 data is really
00:51:30.160 hard to get.
00:51:31.600 Almost every
00:51:32.300 study we look
00:51:33.320 at is
00:51:33.740 sketchy.
00:51:35.000 50% of
00:51:35.960 all studies
00:51:37.220 end up not
00:51:38.080 being reproducible.
00:51:39.900 So I
00:51:41.180 wouldn't be
00:51:41.640 surprised if
00:51:42.320 it's higher,
00:51:43.360 but your
00:51:44.060 estimates of
00:51:45.060 25% and
00:51:46.360 40%, those
00:51:47.360 seem crazy to
00:51:48.200 me.
00:51:49.100 If it were
00:51:49.580 25%, it's
00:51:50.740 all you'd
00:51:51.080 hear about.
00:51:52.860 I mean,
00:51:54.200 I do see
00:51:55.120 some reporters
00:51:56.200 have found
00:51:56.940 like a few
00:51:58.200 dozen people
00:51:59.020 who were
00:52:00.140 trying to
00:52:00.560 detransition,
00:52:02.440 but NFO
00:52:03.180 many, right?
00:52:05.400 If 25% of
00:52:07.100 trans regretted 1.00
00:52:08.060 it, it's
00:52:09.320 all you'd
00:52:09.980 see.
00:52:10.660 It would
00:52:10.920 just be all
00:52:11.520 over the
00:52:11.860 news.
00:52:12.640 That's a
00:52:13.040 lot of
00:52:14.020 people who
00:52:14.480 would be
00:52:14.700 self-harming,
00:52:16.020 and I
00:52:17.060 don't see
00:52:17.440 it.
00:52:18.860 So there's
00:52:19.720 something that
00:52:20.100 tells me it's
00:52:20.580 under 10%.
00:52:21.640 I can easily
00:52:23.360 believe it's
00:52:23.920 under 5%,
00:52:24.760 and if it's
00:52:25.940 under 5%,
00:52:26.640 that looks to
00:52:27.460 me like
00:52:27.760 personal choice.
00:52:29.020 I did a
00:52:31.100 surgery for
00:52:32.200 my voice.
00:52:33.240 I told you
00:52:33.720 this story.
00:52:34.820 So when I
00:52:35.420 had the
00:52:35.880 option of
00:52:36.340 fixing my
00:52:36.860 voice, I
00:52:37.280 couldn't speak
00:52:37.800 for 3.5
00:52:38.440 years, at
00:52:39.260 least intelligibly,
00:52:40.740 and I had
00:52:41.540 to have a
00:52:41.980 surgery.
00:52:42.540 It was a
00:52:43.060 new surgery.
00:52:46.300 Now, I got
00:52:47.060 these odds.
00:52:48.300 There was
00:52:48.580 75% chance
00:52:49.820 I'd be happy
00:52:50.360 I got the
00:52:50.860 surgery, and
00:52:52.100 a 25%
00:52:53.020 chance, maybe
00:52:54.220 lower, that
00:52:56.700 it would make
00:52:57.680 it worse,
00:52:58.220 worse, and
00:52:59.220 it would
00:52:59.680 make it
00:53:00.040 impossible to
00:53:00.800 fix in the
00:53:01.260 future, if
00:53:02.440 ever there
00:53:02.860 was a way
00:53:03.180 to fix it
00:53:03.640 in the
00:53:03.840 future.
00:53:04.920 That was
00:53:05.500 a big
00:53:05.800 risk.
00:53:07.040 If my
00:53:07.680 voice had
00:53:08.180 not returned,
00:53:09.440 I would
00:53:10.240 have a lot
00:53:10.980 of regret
00:53:11.380 about that
00:53:12.000 surgery, a
00:53:13.420 lot of
00:53:13.760 regret.
00:53:15.940 And likewise,
00:53:16.860 there are
00:53:16.980 people who
00:53:17.280 got the
00:53:17.600 vaccination, and
00:53:18.700 they have
00:53:18.960 regrets.
00:53:20.280 It's very
00:53:20.680 common to
00:53:21.760 get a
00:53:22.000 medical
00:53:22.300 procedure and
00:53:23.260 have a
00:53:23.500 regret.
00:53:23.760 So I'm
00:53:26.420 a little
00:53:26.840 amazed that
00:53:28.460 trans would 0.86
00:53:29.440 be so much
00:53:31.560 less than
00:53:32.700 people's regret
00:53:33.660 for just
00:53:34.400 almost any
00:53:35.160 other medical
00:53:35.680 procedure.
00:53:36.160 So I just
00:53:44.540 thought I'd
00:53:44.880 give the
00:53:45.360 trans community
00:53:46.980 a little
00:53:47.420 support there
00:53:48.280 by making
00:53:48.980 sure you
00:53:49.380 heard their
00:53:49.800 best arguments.
00:53:53.160 Is that
00:53:53.840 useful?
00:53:55.160 Is that
00:53:55.520 useful to
00:53:55.960 you?
00:53:56.480 Because I
00:53:57.040 feel like I
00:53:57.920 was not
00:53:58.340 hearing the
00:53:58.900 best argument
00:53:59.640 from the
00:54:00.400 trans community,
00:54:01.160 because I
00:54:01.640 didn't know
00:54:01.900 about that
00:54:02.240 1% thing.
00:54:04.300 And again,
00:54:04.920 you can doubt
00:54:05.680 it, but it's
00:54:06.400 certainly in
00:54:07.200 the area of
00:54:08.980 personal choice.
00:54:10.560 It doesn't
00:54:11.120 look like it's
00:54:11.620 so big that
00:54:12.300 the law should
00:54:13.300 be against it
00:54:13.920 or something.
00:54:18.120 All right.
00:54:19.780 Who did
00:54:20.440 the study?
00:54:21.280 Yeah, we
00:54:21.640 can question
00:54:22.520 the study.
00:54:24.360 That would
00:54:24.940 be fair.
00:54:25.440 We question
00:54:25.860 all data.
00:54:27.320 All right.
00:54:27.800 I just
00:54:28.160 thought I'd
00:54:28.500 add that
00:54:28.880 little bit
00:54:29.300 of positivity
00:54:29.920 to the
00:54:30.340 world.
00:54:31.160 I know
00:54:33.600 sometimes it's
00:54:34.240 hard to tell
00:54:35.680 if I'm
00:54:36.000 trying to
00:54:36.400 help.
00:54:38.160 I actually
00:54:38.920 am trying
00:54:39.520 to help
00:54:39.940 the BLM
00:54:41.320 people.
00:54:42.340 I actually
00:54:42.900 am trying
00:54:43.340 to help
00:54:43.680 black America.
00:54:44.920 If it
00:54:45.520 doesn't look
00:54:46.040 like it,
00:54:47.180 well,
00:54:47.840 I got
00:54:50.320 your attention.
00:54:51.460 It was
00:54:52.020 supposed to
00:54:52.440 look like I
00:54:52.920 was getting
00:54:53.240 your attention.
00:54:54.560 So if
00:54:55.140 you give
00:54:55.500 me that,
00:54:56.940 that I
00:54:57.300 got your
00:54:57.700 attention,
00:54:58.980 that's what
00:55:00.500 I was trying
00:55:00.820 to do.
00:55:05.660 Yeah.
00:55:08.580 All right.
00:55:10.920 Increased
00:55:11.420 transitioning is
00:55:12.300 part of a
00:55:12.720 PSYOP,
00:55:13.220 you say.
00:55:15.160 Yeah, I
00:55:15.800 don't know
00:55:16.040 about that.
00:55:16.780 I'll tell
00:55:17.300 you what I
00:55:17.780 never believe.
00:55:19.960 I don't
00:55:20.360 believe anybody
00:55:21.100 who says
00:55:21.680 they in
00:55:23.540 politics.
00:55:25.060 As soon
00:55:25.540 as you
00:55:25.720 heard that
00:55:26.100 word,
00:55:26.640 they,
00:55:26.860 just take
00:55:29.020 yourself out
00:55:29.520 of the
00:55:29.680 conversation.
00:55:30.600 It goes
00:55:30.980 like this.
00:55:31.980 They want
00:55:32.860 us to do
00:55:34.480 this, or
00:55:35.020 they want
00:55:35.760 us to
00:55:36.040 eat bugs.
00:55:37.540 They want
00:55:38.340 us to
00:55:39.340 not have
00:55:41.660 privacy.
00:55:43.120 There is
00:55:43.820 no they.
00:55:45.120 There is
00:55:45.620 no they.
00:55:46.020 There are
00:55:47.780 lots of
00:55:48.300 individuals
00:55:48.800 with
00:55:49.260 different
00:55:49.820 agendas,
00:55:52.080 but there's
00:55:52.720 no they.
00:55:55.120 The
00:55:55.600 elitists.
00:55:56.140 There's no
00:55:56.960 the elitists.
00:55:59.380 There's no
00:56:00.320 Illuminati.
00:56:03.440 There's no
00:56:04.000 elites.
00:56:05.180 Elites exist, 0.98
00:56:06.380 but they don't
00:56:06.880 exist with one
00:56:07.880 opinion.
00:56:09.560 You think the
00:56:10.160 elites have one
00:56:10.800 opinion?
00:56:12.700 I've met the
00:56:13.580 elites.
00:56:14.220 They don't have
00:56:14.620 the same
00:56:14.920 opinions.
00:56:16.320 There's
00:56:16.880 nobody getting
00:56:17.400 in a room
00:56:17.860 and making
00:56:18.220 these decisions
00:56:19.160 behind closed
00:56:19.960 doors.
00:56:20.760 It's not
00:56:21.100 happening.
00:56:22.900 Yeah,
00:56:23.180 Bilderberg,
00:56:24.200 blah, blah.
00:56:25.140 I've told you
00:56:25.960 this before,
00:56:26.500 but it's worth
00:56:26.920 repeating,
00:56:27.820 that the
00:56:28.380 World Economic
00:56:29.120 Forum,
00:56:30.020 if you see
00:56:30.640 it as this
00:56:31.900 global elites
00:56:32.900 who are
00:56:33.820 forming sort
00:56:35.440 of a second
00:56:36.240 government,
00:56:37.760 that's how
00:56:38.440 people see
00:56:38.880 it.
00:56:39.840 I saw an
00:56:40.720 article that
00:56:41.360 took the
00:56:41.800 opposite approach,
00:56:43.520 that literally
00:56:44.540 none of the
00:56:45.100 elites take
00:56:45.620 it seriously,
00:56:46.680 but they
00:56:46.940 have to go
00:56:47.360 bow to it
00:56:47.960 because it
00:56:48.320 looks good.
00:56:49.620 And they
00:56:49.900 get a nice
00:56:50.300 vacation in a
00:56:51.480 nice place.
00:56:52.480 It's basically
00:56:53.020 just the look
00:56:53.580 good, it's
00:56:53.820 just the
00:56:54.100 performance.
00:56:55.280 And the
00:56:55.620 people who
00:56:56.500 attend are
00:56:56.980 not terribly
00:56:57.540 serious about
00:56:58.180 any of it.
00:56:58.560 good.
00:56:58.840 And I think
00:57:00.080 that makes
00:57:01.140 far more
00:57:01.840 sense in
00:57:03.320 my Dilbert
00:57:04.360 filter of
00:57:04.980 the world,
00:57:05.780 that people
00:57:06.220 are just
00:57:06.540 trying to
00:57:06.900 look good,
00:57:07.540 they're not
00:57:07.880 really.
00:57:09.320 In the
00:57:09.820 corporate
00:57:10.120 world,
00:57:11.920 signaling and
00:57:12.720 looking good
00:57:13.240 is the
00:57:13.500 whole game.
00:57:14.440 That's the
00:57:14.780 whole game.
00:57:15.640 You don't
00:57:16.000 get promoted
00:57:16.540 because you
00:57:17.020 did good
00:57:17.400 work.
00:57:18.540 You know
00:57:18.860 that,
00:57:19.180 right?
00:57:20.200 Nobody
00:57:20.680 ever got
00:57:21.200 promoted for
00:57:21.780 doing good
00:57:22.260 work.
00:57:23.040 That's not
00:57:23.660 even a thing.
00:57:24.880 No,
00:57:25.220 you got promoted
00:57:25.880 because your
00:57:26.440 boss thought
00:57:27.320 you did
00:57:27.720 good work.
00:57:28.600 Or your
00:57:29.120 boss was
00:57:29.580 related.
00:57:30.240 Or your
00:57:30.440 boss was
00:57:30.840 sleeping with
00:57:31.460 you.
00:57:31.620 Or your
00:57:31.840 boss wanted
00:57:32.380 to sleep
00:57:32.800 with you.
00:57:33.580 Or they
00:57:34.980 thought you
00:57:35.380 would do
00:57:35.780 good work
00:57:36.220 in the
00:57:36.460 future.
00:57:37.380 No,
00:57:37.640 you don't
00:57:37.880 get promoted
00:57:38.380 for doing
00:57:38.800 good work.
00:57:41.660 However,
00:57:42.880 doing good
00:57:43.540 work is your
00:57:44.180 very best
00:57:44.640 strategy.
00:57:46.260 It's still
00:57:46.840 your best
00:57:47.140 strategy to
00:57:47.880 do good
00:57:48.220 work.
00:57:48.840 But it's
00:57:49.140 not why
00:57:49.900 you get
00:57:50.280 promoted.
00:57:50.780 There's
00:57:50.960 lots of
00:57:51.360 reasons for
00:57:51.800 that.
00:57:53.600 It does
00:57:54.240 help,
00:57:54.520 though.
00:57:55.880 Why
00:57:58.120 there's
00:57:58.340 so many
00:57:58.700 high-ranking
00:57:59.460 government
00:57:59.740 officials and
00:58:00.500 members of
00:58:00.920 the WF?
00:58:01.460 I just
00:58:01.720 told you.
00:58:03.120 People
00:58:03.680 are joining
00:58:04.720 to signal
00:58:08.040 that there
00:58:09.060 are good
00:58:09.340 people who
00:58:09.880 believe in
00:58:10.260 the environment
00:58:10.840 and equality.
00:58:12.900 And that
00:58:13.360 became the
00:58:14.400 badge that
00:58:15.340 you wear.
00:58:16.140 Why do
00:58:16.820 people wear
00:58:17.580 little pins
00:58:18.880 on their
00:58:19.260 lapel that
00:58:20.780 support a
00:58:21.540 cause?
00:58:22.920 It's because
00:58:23.560 it's the least
00:58:24.120 they can do.
00:58:25.880 It's the least
00:58:26.900 they can do.
00:58:28.020 Hey, if you
00:58:29.100 put on this
00:58:29.580 little pin
00:58:30.080 that says
00:58:30.580 Black Lives
00:58:31.120 Matter,
00:58:32.360 would you
00:58:32.760 do that?
00:58:34.120 And then
00:58:34.520 the elite
00:58:34.900 says, yeah,
00:58:36.120 it's the least
00:58:36.600 I can do.
00:58:37.640 Literally,
00:58:38.220 it's the least
00:58:38.560 you can do.
00:58:40.000 How about
00:58:40.500 we'll take
00:58:41.340 an all-expense
00:58:42.260 paid trip
00:58:42.920 to Davos,
00:58:44.740 an awesome
00:58:45.300 place.
00:58:46.160 You'll have
00:58:46.660 five-star
00:58:47.280 luxury.
00:58:48.460 You'll get
00:58:49.060 to meet all
00:58:49.660 these other
00:58:50.040 famous people.
00:58:51.880 How about
00:58:52.280 that?
00:58:52.620 That's the
00:58:54.300 least I
00:58:54.680 could do.
00:58:55.760 Yes, it's
00:58:56.280 literally the
00:58:56.860 least you
00:58:57.260 could do.
00:58:58.220 Attend a
00:58:58.800 meeting so
00:58:59.460 that you
00:58:59.820 look good
00:59:00.300 in a
00:59:01.120 luxury resort.
00:59:02.100 That is the
00:59:02.700 least you
00:59:03.140 could do
00:59:03.420 for black
00:59:03.820 people.
00:59:04.580 There's
00:59:04.860 nothing less
00:59:05.420 you could
00:59:05.720 do.
00:59:06.800 I can't
00:59:07.260 think of
00:59:07.500 anything less
00:59:08.120 important than
00:59:08.660 that.
00:59:10.240 So if you
00:59:11.200 think the
00:59:11.580 WEF is a
00:59:12.820 big,
00:59:13.120 important
00:59:13.540 entity,
00:59:16.260 who told
00:59:16.980 you that?
00:59:18.520 You know
00:59:19.080 who told
00:59:19.440 you that?
00:59:19.820 the guy
00:59:21.580 who puts
00:59:21.960 the WEF
00:59:22.800 together.
00:59:23.520 And then
00:59:23.780 you saw
00:59:24.120 the video
00:59:24.520 of him
00:59:24.820 saying he's
00:59:25.340 got all
00:59:25.640 kinds of
00:59:25.980 power.
00:59:27.140 Because that's
00:59:28.180 his marketing.
00:59:29.620 He's
00:59:30.040 marketing.
00:59:33.020 I'm pretty
00:59:33.700 sure all
00:59:34.200 of those
00:59:34.580 young economic
00:59:35.980 forum leaders,
00:59:37.380 they were all
00:59:38.100 going to have
00:59:38.380 the same
00:59:38.760 opinion whether
00:59:39.680 they flew to
00:59:40.600 Davos or
00:59:41.200 not.
00:59:42.280 Going to a
00:59:42.960 luxury vacation
00:59:43.820 in Davos
00:59:44.420 doesn't change
00:59:45.100 your opinion
00:59:45.540 of anything.
00:59:46.840 It just
00:59:47.200 exposes you
00:59:47.880 to more rich
00:59:48.720 people.
00:59:49.400 That's all
00:59:49.760 it does.
00:59:50.740 And Klaus
00:59:51.760 gets to feel
00:59:52.580 important and
00:59:53.340 he meets a
00:59:53.940 bunch of
00:59:54.180 rich people
00:59:54.700 and he's
00:59:56.280 80-something
00:59:57.000 years old.
00:59:59.660 The last
01:00:00.540 thing I'd
01:00:00.900 worry about
01:00:01.340 is the
01:00:01.640 World Economic
01:00:02.320 Forum.
01:00:03.780 I really
01:00:04.520 think that's
01:00:04.980 just for
01:00:05.340 show.
01:00:07.120 But we'll
01:00:08.480 see.
01:00:11.640 All right.
01:00:12.360 Anything else
01:00:12.880 in the news
01:00:13.880 that I'm
01:00:14.200 missing?
01:00:16.060 I think
01:00:16.720 we've done
01:00:17.140 it all.
01:00:18.340 All right.
01:00:18.700 that's all
01:00:23.220 for now.
01:00:23.560 Let me
01:00:23.720 ask you
01:00:24.020 one question
01:00:24.540 before I
01:00:25.260 sign off
01:00:25.920 on YouTube.
01:00:27.260 What do
01:00:27.460 you think
01:00:27.760 of the
01:00:28.120 phrase
01:00:28.560 black
01:00:29.280 words
01:00:29.700 thinking?
01:00:34.020 Insulting
01:00:34.500 or gets
01:00:35.900 to the
01:00:36.140 point?
01:00:41.020 Trouble.
01:00:41.500 What do
01:00:43.220 you think?
01:00:43.880 Racial. 0.70
01:00:44.280 It's racial, 0.98
01:00:44.980 of course.
01:00:46.260 I mean,
01:00:46.540 the topic is
01:00:47.100 racial.
01:00:49.760 No,
01:00:50.360 love it,
01:00:50.900 LOL.
01:00:54.500 Looking
01:00:54.900 black
01:00:55.260 words,
01:00:55.560 yes.
01:00:59.580 Yeah,
01:01:00.060 well,
01:01:00.360 as long as
01:01:00.900 white people
01:01:01.380 engage it in
01:01:02.180 as well.
01:01:02.620 Okay,
01:01:02.900 that's a good
01:01:03.300 comment.
01:01:04.180 So I
01:01:04.680 wouldn't say
01:01:05.120 that it's
01:01:05.560 black words
01:01:06.340 thinking is
01:01:06.960 something that
01:01:07.460 only black
01:01:08.040 people do.
01:01:08.820 That would
01:01:09.180 be racist. 0.78
01:01:10.400 Yeah,
01:01:10.580 that would
01:01:10.840 be racist. 0.78
01:01:11.520 So I'll
01:01:11.780 try to
01:01:12.020 avoid that.
01:01:13.360 It's about
01:01:14.000 mindset,
01:01:14.800 and that
01:01:15.280 would be
01:01:15.560 common to
01:01:16.260 just humans.
01:01:18.080 So yes,
01:01:18.420 I would say
01:01:18.800 black words
01:01:19.340 thinking could
01:01:19.940 be a
01:01:20.520 white person
01:01:21.240 who's
01:01:22.440 analyzing
01:01:23.220 the black
01:01:25.020 situation.
01:01:25.680 Same thing.
01:01:29.320 Yeah,
01:01:29.760 I would say
01:01:30.100 the CRT,
01:01:31.020 DEI,
01:01:31.840 ESG,
01:01:33.160 a lot of
01:01:33.600 them have
01:01:33.880 the same
01:01:34.280 component of
01:01:35.400 black words
01:01:36.100 thinking.
01:01:38.980 But it's
01:01:39.540 not limited
01:01:40.000 to black
01:01:40.420 people.
01:01:41.060 That's
01:01:41.140 the
01:01:41.260 codacity.
01:01:43.460 Yeah,
01:01:43.960 that's right,
01:01:44.300 there's a
01:01:44.560 word,
01:01:44.840 codacity.
01:01:47.220 Caucasian
01:01:47.620 audacity
01:01:48.200 is
01:01:49.160 codacity.
01:01:50.920 So I
01:01:51.360 guess there's
01:01:51.840 a little
01:01:53.240 precedent for
01:01:54.860 this kind
01:01:55.380 of word
01:01:55.660 play.
01:01:57.840 The woke
01:01:58.560 won't like
01:01:59.100 black words.
01:01:59.740 What's the
01:02:00.080 point?
01:02:01.440 See,
01:02:01.680 if you
01:02:01.880 can get
01:02:02.220 the woke
01:02:02.640 to argue
01:02:03.320 the word,
01:02:05.120 you win.
01:02:07.120 That would
01:02:07.720 be winning.
01:02:08.140 Get people
01:02:09.160 to argue
01:02:09.560 that the
01:02:09.960 word is
01:02:10.360 the wrong
01:02:10.640 word.
01:02:11.260 That would
01:02:11.600 be winning.
01:02:14.740 By the
01:02:15.760 way,
01:02:15.940 I wouldn't
01:02:16.200 use this
01:02:16.560 at work,
01:02:16.960 you would
01:02:17.140 totally get
01:02:17.560 fired.
01:02:18.780 Oh,
01:02:18.980 just to be
01:02:19.380 clear.
01:02:19.940 There's
01:02:20.120 something that
01:02:20.540 I can say
01:02:21.040 that you
01:02:21.340 can't say,
01:02:22.380 because I
01:02:22.960 have something
01:02:23.420 closer to
01:02:24.060 free speech.
01:02:26.120 Has anybody
01:02:26.880 marveled at the
01:02:27.740 fact that I
01:02:28.220 have free speech
01:02:28.880 now and I'm
01:02:29.520 using it?
01:02:31.060 If you
01:02:31.600 haven't seen
01:02:32.000 the Dilbert
01:02:32.680 comic lately,
01:02:33.980 Dilbert Reborn,
01:02:34.760 it's only on the
01:02:35.420 subscription site now,
01:02:36.420 you wouldn't
01:02:37.480 fully appreciate
01:02:38.180 it.
01:02:39.440 But,
01:02:40.580 yeah,
01:02:41.280 you're jealous. 0.66
01:02:42.060 It's fun.
01:02:43.680 It really is an
01:02:44.540 amazing feeling.
01:02:45.420 I didn't think
01:02:45.840 I'd ever feel it,
01:02:47.100 that I could
01:02:47.540 actually just say
01:02:48.860 what I think
01:02:49.320 is true.
01:02:50.840 I could just
01:02:51.260 say it.
01:02:52.520 Other people
01:02:53.020 can't do it.
01:02:54.200 Yeah,
01:02:54.380 I paid for it.
01:02:55.020 It was very
01:02:55.400 expensive.
01:02:56.260 But I think
01:02:56.880 I got my
01:02:57.320 money's worth.
01:03:00.240 Thoughts on
01:03:00.780 good credit
01:03:01.260 punishment?
01:03:01.880 We talked
01:03:02.280 about that.
01:03:04.420 What?
01:03:05.000 Wait a minute.
01:03:05.700 Did you just
01:03:07.380 make that?
01:03:11.880 Because I'm
01:03:12.380 seeing a meme
01:03:12.960 that says
01:03:13.360 black words.
01:03:14.140 Did that
01:03:14.420 already exist?
01:03:15.540 Or did you
01:03:15.960 just make that
01:03:16.560 up on the
01:03:16.940 fly?
01:03:18.000 You have to
01:03:18.360 tell me,
01:03:19.820 that's a
01:03:20.720 book title.
01:03:21.920 Oh,
01:03:22.340 it's a
01:03:22.580 book title.
01:03:24.040 Apparently
01:03:24.400 it's a
01:03:24.740 book title.
01:03:25.440 Well,
01:03:25.640 now you
01:03:25.900 have to
01:03:26.140 tell me,
01:03:26.800 is the
01:03:28.140 author
01:03:28.460 black?
01:03:29.580 Because if
01:03:30.100 the author's
01:03:30.600 black,
01:03:31.000 I'm in
01:03:31.260 good shape.
01:03:33.700 Is the
01:03:34.200 author black?
01:03:35.700 He was
01:03:43.080 assassinated.
01:03:43.960 What?
01:03:46.520 It would
01:03:47.140 not have
01:03:47.500 been published
01:03:48.060 otherwise.
01:03:48.800 Well,
01:03:49.160 yeah.
01:03:51.760 By Ron
01:03:52.700 Christie.
01:03:55.060 No,
01:03:55.620 that doesn't
01:03:56.180 sound as
01:03:57.440 black as it 1.00
01:03:58.160 could sound.
01:04:00.320 Yeah,
01:04:00.860 you can't
01:04:01.120 tell by the
01:04:01.560 name,
01:04:01.880 but,
01:04:02.100 all right,
01:04:05.420 well,
01:04:06.380 so I'll
01:04:06.620 have to
01:04:06.800 watch out
01:04:07.180 for that.
01:04:07.480 Because if
01:04:07.740 it turns out
01:04:08.560 that the
01:04:08.840 guy who
01:04:09.160 wrote that
01:04:09.540 book has
01:04:10.240 any sketchy
01:04:11.160 accusations,
01:04:11.940 I better
01:04:12.180 stay away
01:04:12.580 from it.
01:04:16.480 Yeah,
01:04:17.080 Ron,
01:04:18.580 have you
01:04:18.940 ever met
01:04:19.260 a black
01:04:19.800 guy named
01:04:20.320 Ronnie?
01:04:21.580 Oh,
01:04:22.020 yeah,
01:04:22.200 Ronnie
01:04:22.440 Lott.
01:04:23.160 Ronnie
01:04:23.400 Lott.
01:04:24.540 Yeah,
01:04:24.840 Ronnie
01:04:25.040 Lott.
01:04:25.360 So that
01:04:26.280 could be,
01:04:26.800 yeah,
01:04:27.020 that could 0.68
01:04:27.280 easily be
01:04:27.740 a black
01:04:28.000 name.
01:04:30.060 So,
01:04:34.340 curious to
01:04:35.300 your
01:04:35.480 tone
01:04:35.660 sentence.
01:04:37.720 Oh,
01:04:38.200 it's on
01:04:38.500 Urban
01:04:38.780 Dictionary
01:04:39.300 already.
01:04:40.740 And it's
01:04:41.260 used the
01:04:41.660 same way,
01:04:42.140 right?
01:04:42.900 In the
01:04:43.220 Urban
01:04:43.440 Dictionary,
01:04:44.120 is it
01:04:44.340 defined as
01:04:45.180 sort of
01:04:46.620 looking backwards
01:04:47.300 instead of
01:04:47.760 forwards?
01:04:48.560 I assume
01:04:49.140 it is.
01:04:50.480 Oh,
01:04:50.720 he is
01:04:50.920 black,
01:04:51.280 somebody
01:04:51.480 says.
01:04:52.840 He's a
01:04:53.400 black
01:04:53.680 Republican
01:04:54.220 strategist?
01:04:55.880 The
01:04:56.060 Ron
01:04:56.980 Christie
01:04:57.360 is a
01:04:57.660 black
01:04:57.860 man.
01:04:58.000 Oh,
01:04:58.180 we have
01:04:58.380 confirmation.
01:04:59.560 So somebody
01:05:00.040 looked it
01:05:00.400 up.
01:05:00.620 Ron
01:05:00.880 Christie
01:05:01.160 is a
01:05:01.480 black
01:05:01.680 man,
01:05:02.420 and he
01:05:03.080 wrote a
01:05:03.420 book called
01:05:05.340 Black 0.64
01:05:05.740 Words.
01:05:06.900 We'll have
01:05:07.260 to take a
01:05:07.620 look at
01:05:07.840 that.
01:05:09.360 I do
01:05:09.900 think it's
01:05:10.380 a strong
01:05:11.580 play.
01:05:19.240 All
01:05:19.720 right.
01:05:19.880 I
01:05:21.880 guess lots
01:05:26.400 of
01:05:26.500 people
01:05:26.700 had
01:05:26.920 black
01:05:27.380 friends
01:05:27.680 named
01:05:27.940 Ronnie.
01:05:28.940 So Ronnie
01:05:29.380 is more
01:05:29.680 common
01:05:30.000 than I
01:05:30.300 thought.
01:05:36.580 I just
01:05:37.600 love the
01:05:37.980 fact that I
01:05:38.420 can just
01:05:38.720 talk about
01:05:39.220 this topic
01:05:39.760 without
01:05:40.040 worry.
01:05:42.260 It's
01:05:42.660 such a
01:05:43.040 freeing
01:05:43.480 thing.
01:05:44.860 If I
01:05:45.260 could find
01:05:45.600 just a
01:05:45.960 few more
01:05:46.300 people to
01:05:46.720 talk to,
01:05:47.140 ideally,
01:05:49.260 I'd love
01:05:49.560 to talk
01:05:49.840 to black
01:05:50.280 guys who
01:05:50.820 are also
01:05:51.180 completely
01:05:51.660 free and
01:05:52.740 can just
01:05:53.080 use free
01:05:53.540 speech.
01:05:54.620 That would
01:05:55.200 be
01:05:55.320 interesting.
01:05:57.720 All
01:05:58.080 right.
01:05:58.720 YouTube,
01:05:59.300 bye for
01:05:59.700 now.
01:06:00.560 Talk to
01:06:00.900 you tomorrow.
