Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2086 Scott Adams： SCOTUS Rules On Abortion Pill, Trans ＂Regret＂ Is Way Lower Than You Think

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.

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?

00:09:18.740 I guess she must do a good job for the members, according to their opinion.

00:09:24.160 Because she has to be voted in, right?

00:09:26.360 Doesn't she have to be voted in?

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

00:30:19.940 So then he

00:30:24.700 said, blah,

00:30:25.700 blah, blah, you

00:30:26.180 think white

00:30:28.400 people should move

00:30:29.140 away from black

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

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

00:31:00.620 white or

00:31:01.160 black, get

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

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,

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

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

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.

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.

00:45:46.240 Yeah, I know

00:45:46.680 I'm going to

00:45:47.000 go to jail,

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

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.

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

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

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,

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.

01:00:44.280 It's racial,

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.

01:01:10.400 Yeah,

01:01:10.580 that would

01:01:10.840 be racist.

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.

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

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

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

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.
