Jimmy Seibert joins me to talk about the NYPD in the midst of the migrant crisis and how they should be doing more to help the people they are supposed to be helping. Also, we talk about why the police should be funded the way they are now, and why they should not be the only ones to do anything about it. We also talk about how to deal with the fear and panic that many people are feeling in the streets, and how to keep people safe in a wild world like this.

Timestamps: 5:00 - What's the craziest thing a police officer has ever said to you? 7:30 - What kind of police officer did you like? 8:15 - How do you think of the NYPD? 9:40 - What should the NYPD do in the middle of a migrant crisis? 11:00- What are your thoughts on the situation? 12:30- What do you would like to see more of a better police force? 13:15- What would you do in a better? 15:00 16:10 - Why the NYPD should do more? 17:40- What is the best thing to do in response to the situation in the wildest place? 18:10- How do they need to do the most effective way to make the most of their day? 19:10 21:30 22:40 23:00 What are you would you want to see the best way to help? 26:20 - Is there a better way to support the most dangerous part of the law enforcement agency? 27:10: What do they have the most efficient way to protect the most vulnerable people in the most likely to be most effective? 29:00 Do you have a problem? 30:00 Should the police have the best chance of getting the most out of their best shot?
00:02:30.000If you've got all these situations with people, you've got people that, I mean, how much training is involved today in this time of such a demand for police officers, right?
00:02:41.000Like, they're trying really hard to get police officers.
00:02:43.000They should train them like they train Navy SEALs.
00:02:45.000It should be like a very difficult process to get through, and we should be very thankful that people are doing the job, and they should be rewarded and treated well.
00:02:54.000You know what really drives me crazy about this defunding that went on?
00:02:58.000And, of course, I think everybody's decided that was like a...
00:03:02.000Either really bad idea or really poorly worded idea.
00:04:12.000You need to kind of talk to them, and you need to this, and you need to that.
00:04:15.000I'm not saying be heavy-handed or badge-heavy, but they need to do what they're there to do and then let other people come in behind them and try to do all the rest of the stuff.
00:04:25.000You don't want a cop doing three different jobs.
00:04:27.000You want him doing one job, and that's suppress illegal behavior, get it under control, and then let somebody else do everything else.
00:05:29.000And in this day and age when it's attached to something like the idea of being a progressive or being a good person, being on the left, being a kind person, you go along with these things and the next thing you know, you're supporting the wildest of the leftists.
00:06:18.000When they start rewriting history, when they start rewriting science, when they start trying to get the government to co-parent with you, with your child, people start saying, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
00:06:32.000I didn't mind when you were running around here talking crazy, but now you're starting to get into my business.
00:06:38.000Like my grandmother used to say, you've gone from preaching to meddling now.
00:06:42.000Well, you know what's happening in Canada, right?
00:06:45.000I mean, Canada has some pretty insane cases that are going on right now about gender transition from really young kids.
00:06:52.000And there's all this pushback with parents, and there's all this because the parents are not being told that their children want to transition.
00:07:00.000So there's this guy that was talking about these issues of parents' rights in Canada, and he specifically said that parents don't have rights in Canada.
00:07:12.000I feel like he said they have obligations.
00:07:50.000Look, if you look at this right now, and I understand I don't know if you know, but I'm starting a whole new network called Merit Street Media.
00:08:24.000I'm willing to let all sides come and say what they want to say, but they've got to be willing to answer hard questions.
00:08:31.000And I've had some of these folks—I've already shot about 30 shows on Dr. Phil Primetime, and we're going to have four hours of news and a whole lot of other programming, but it's all about— I mean, let's be commonsensical.
00:08:57.000And we've got these people that it's interesting they choose words like gender-affirming care.
00:09:06.000You know, that's interesting that they call it that.
00:09:10.000But really what they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children.
00:09:19.000And in fairness, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Endocrine Society or whatever the exact name of that is, all of the major medical associations have signed off on this,
00:09:37.000And I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less information as to whether or not it does long-term harm of anything in my life.
00:09:50.000And when I ask about that, when I bring that up, then they immediately label you as transphobic.
00:09:57.000And I thought that The deal was first, do no harm.
00:10:03.000And all of the European countries, Sweden, Norway, they've all stopped doing it because they say, we cannot say in good conscience that this does no harm, because it does harm.
00:10:17.000If you look at the long-term consequences, if someone changes their mind, at 10, 11, 12, 13 years old, They can't decide which pajamas they want to wear at night.
00:10:32.000And their reason for doing it is it stops this drive for suicide, that there's a suicide epidemic.
00:10:44.000It doesn't fix all the comorbid issues that come along with feeling like they're in the wrong body.
00:10:52.000But yet they're pushing this, and we're going to do some shows that are already taped that are Revealing what the real results of this are, and I think people are going to be shocked that these medical organizations have signed off on this.
00:11:12.000I think they've just given in to the pressure.
00:11:16.000Yeah, I just don't understand where the pressure is coming from.
00:11:20.000Another phrase they're using now is life-saving gender-affirming care.
00:11:24.000They like to smash them all together like that.
00:11:27.000Well, I just don't think that there's evidence to suggest that's true.
00:11:52.000But America's not far behind that, because I've talked to a lot of teachers, and they're telling me that they have a duty to the children that if the child is not ready to talk to their parents about this, that it's okay for them to keep a secret from the child.
00:12:11.000Now, let me tell you what my problems with this are and see what you think.
00:12:16.000First off, this is either a psychological phenomenon or a medical phenomenon.
00:12:23.000And the teachers are not trained in either psychology or medicine.
00:12:29.000They're not any more trained to deal with that than they are to take out the kid's spleen in the homeroom.
00:12:35.000So if that's true, if it's a psychological thing, if it's gender dysphoria, Or it's a medical issue, then you need someone trained in child psychology,
00:12:53.000And the teacher's not trained in any of those three things.
00:12:57.000Like I say, they're not any more trained in that than they are to take out the child's spleen.
00:13:01.000So how are they qualified to deal with that?
00:13:04.000Secondly, it's teaching the child to keep a secret from their parents.
00:13:10.000It's teaching deception and interfering between the child's relationship with their parent.
00:13:17.000Now, their issue, their justification for that is, well, If the child goes home and announces this or if we tell it to the parent, then the child could get abused, the child could get judged,
00:13:34.000the child could get kicked to the curb.
00:13:37.000But they have to admit, statistically, that that is very rare.
00:13:43.000And if that's the case, that's what we have Department of Child and Family Services for.
00:13:49.000That's what we have Child Protective Services for.
00:13:51.000If that's the case, then you call in for some intervention if the child is being abused at home for whatever reason.
00:14:00.000Then you get intervention in that way.
00:14:03.000But you don't come between the child and their parent.
00:14:05.000The parent has the right to know what's going on.
00:14:19.000It's not like the threshold for teachers is so high that only the elite of the elite cross it.
00:14:24.000You see, a lot of these Weird people teaching classes, and you don't necessarily want them giving advice to children about decisions for the rest of their life.
00:14:32.000And here's an important point that people need to really take into consideration.
00:14:35.000There's a reason why they have little kids become suicide bombers.
00:14:38.000Because you can talk kids into almost anything.
00:14:41.000You talk about believing in Santa Claus.
00:14:43.000You talk kids into believing in all kinds of ridiculous shit, because they're really young.
00:14:48.000You could easily Convince them in one way or another that they're anything that they're they're they're queer that they're trans you could 100% convince some kids of all kinds of things especially by reinforcing it with love and support and Happiness you can convince people of a lot of things.
00:15:08.000That's what's uncomfortable for a lot of people for a lot of gay people They're uncomfortable with the idea that a lot of these kids are just gonna grow up to become gay and My friend Tim Dillon's talked about that a bunch.
00:15:44.000I don't think it's appropriate or safe for children, and I think there is a huge body of literature that addresses these issues from end to end.
00:16:01.000There's not a huge body of literature about the transgender people.
00:16:09.000And what literature is out there suggests that you get, and this is what you see from the European countries, they've done study after study from these suppressive hormones compared to doing psychotherapy and there's not much difference.
00:16:31.000If you do psychotherapy you can ease The depression, you can ease the suicidal tendencies with psychotherapy without doing the irreversible things.
00:16:44.000They say, well, you can reverse those things.
00:17:48.000They think it's suppressed and maybe there's more people that are...
00:17:53.000Gay or whatever and they want to come out and they just get suppressed by it So they're trying to make it like more enthusiastic like how is how is this trans thing becoming a major?
00:18:04.000Point of debate with children where it never has in history and your life in my life There was never all this talk about trans children like this it seems insane that we've forgotten The kids don't know what the fuck is going on yet I think a lot of it is owing to social media platforms and the internet.
00:18:24.000I think this is what I'm talking about when I say the activist...
00:18:30.000I don't think speak for the community at large.
00:18:33.000I think they get an agenda that they're pushing, and I think they really get wrapped up in this, and it gets a lot of oxygen on the internet.
00:18:46.000It gets a lot of oxygen on social media platforms.
00:18:49.000Now, they say there's no social contagion here, but the girls that are claiming to be transgender, that percentage has gone up Some reports say it's gone up 800%,
00:19:08.0001,000% over the last several years, and they say, well, that's because they feel more comfortable talking about it now.
00:19:16.000Is that true, or is it because you read about it, you see it on social media, and you think, well, I can distinguish myself in this way?
00:19:27.000I think there is a social contagion effect.
00:20:36.000And let me tell you, teachers don't get into teaching for the money.
00:20:39.000I don't know a teacher that doesn't get into their own pocket to get resources for the classroom, to help with the classroom, to put up signs and bring in materials for the classroom.
00:21:19.000Just the small amount of interactions that people have.
00:21:22.000And I also think about both teachers and police officers, the stress of their job and the experiences that they have, particularly if you're teaching public school in maybe a sketchy area.
00:21:33.000I mean, those people are risking their health often.
00:21:38.000There's all these cell phone videos of teachers getting beat up.
00:21:42.000I did a show last week with three teachers from around the country That tried to take a cell phone, tell a student to put their cell phone away, and got attacked.
00:21:54.000And one of them wound up in the hospital for a week, had to have knee surgery, go on workers' comp, wound up having to take bankruptcy, lost her house, all of that.
00:22:05.000A student jumped on her and just beat the hell out of her.
00:22:08.000Was this the one that was in the hallway?
00:23:17.000It would be a great way to weaken America to make everybody at each other's throats about the dumbest fucking things and then even put children and children's health and lives at risk with this crazy shit that we're talking about right now.
00:23:30.000And the more that stuff is going on in our country, the more there's going to be a decay of our appreciation for America, less patriotism, less paying attention to what we're doing.
00:23:45.000Well, let me tell you, you've heard all of these stories of people getting SWATed.
00:24:27.000And we got involved and found out what was going on.
00:24:32.000And the source of this was a group out of Russia.
00:24:43.000And these bot farms, when people say that you think these are phony accounts and people are hating on the internet and posting all this stuff up and they're not real accounts,
00:24:59.000These bot farms, some of them, these accounts are 10 or 12 years old, and they've got millions, not 10 or 10,000 or 12,000, millions in these bot farms.
00:25:14.000And so we've been getting into all that with our cybersecurity experts, and when all of a sudden somebody targets somebody and says, oh, they're transphobic or they're racist or whatever, and you get into who all's saying this, these aren't real accounts.
00:26:40.000I mean, if he's accurate, that's crazy.
00:26:42.000That means there's just been a mass infiltration of foreign agents into all of the discourse about politics and gender and society and women's rights and men's rights and war and Ukraine and every fucking thing that happens in the world.
00:27:28.000I'd written nine books, and I said, I'm done.
00:27:31.000My last book will be an autobiography when I'm sitting out in the backyard or playing golf every day.
00:27:39.000But I wrote this book, We've Got Issues, How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity, because I looked around at what was going on and said, somebody's got to tell the truth.
00:27:56.000Somebody's got to call this for what it is.
00:28:00.000And one of the big things I talk about is what happened to our society because of social media platforms and the internet.
00:31:31.000Yeah, and so I've had influencers on the show that said, I post a video where I'm putting on all these clothes and saying, I'm going to the NBA All-Star Game.
00:31:42.000Should I wear this or should I wear that?
00:31:45.000They said, as soon as that camera stops, I carefully take those clothes off because I don't own them.
00:31:51.000I have to take them back to the store.
00:31:53.000I'm not going to the NBA All-Star Game.
00:31:56.000I'm going to sit on the couch in my sweats, just like everybody else.
00:32:31.000And so they compare themselves and go, yeah, I'm no good.
00:32:37.000And so everybody started getting – these kids started getting depressed.
00:32:41.000I mean, it went up – The thing is, if you do it really well, if you become a fitness influencer or an online influencer and do it really well, you become super successful and you can actually make a really good living doing it.
00:32:55.000So what we're seeing with a lot of these people are just really bad open micers.
00:33:00.000They want to be Dave Chappelle, but it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.
00:33:05.000If you want to be an influencer, they're just sort of LARPing.
00:33:09.000Since 2010 and 2011, There was a 62% increase for older teens, 189% increase in depression for preteens, 70% increase in suicide for older teens, 151% increase for preteens.
00:34:21.000It's one of the rare opportunities where you sit and talk to a person and you're not interacting with that stupid thing at all.
00:34:27.000I wonder if people, of course, because of what I do from a psychological standpoint, I wonder if people ever stop and think how many people you look at every day and never really see.
00:34:42.000When you go through your life, whether it's the people in the parking lot, the people behind the camera, that you look at and never really see.
00:35:00.000Well, you know, as we've become, especially if you're living in a city, as we've become more populated, people have become almost, they look at people as like a liability.
00:35:10.000They look at people as like an inconvenience.
00:36:26.000It's like this anxiety that comes of being stuck in traffic.
00:36:30.000Friends that don't know what it's like to drive to Orange County, we went to Orange County this past weekend for the UFC, and you're driving in Orange County, but you ain't going nowhere at 5 p.m.
00:37:47.000My big fear is that with all this Neuralink stuff, I don't even know if it's a fear or if it's a prognostication.
00:37:55.000When I look at the future, I go, well, if you just take it from here and just follow a normal path of progression, where's it going?
00:38:01.000It's going to deeper and deeper integration.
00:38:05.000And it's my fear that this is what we're looking forward to.
00:38:09.000We're looking forward to some sort of integration, whether it's a headpiece or an actual implant.
00:38:16.000I don't think we're very far away from that.
00:38:18.000Now, this AI is going to change things in a big way.
00:38:25.000We're in an election year right now, and creating deep fakes, using AI, I'm really wondering if it's going to drive the election in some ways this year, because it's getting so good.
00:38:42.000I've seen myself in ads selling products.
00:40:09.000But there's a lot of people that are just dull-minded, and they've got a little bit of money in their bank account, and next thing you know, they're investing in some fake Bitcoin exchange.
00:40:17.000Yeah, we see it in the love scams all the time.
00:40:22.000And it's so sad because these are elderly women that are retired, and in sometimes 30, 60 days, they'll take what they spent their entire life accumulating, and it's gone.
00:42:21.000And we intercepted a manual from Nigeria, and it was a training manual for the workroom, and it says, you know, how to get these women to trust you.
00:42:34.000It says contact them like at 10 o'clock at night.
00:43:42.000I was watching this one really sad one.
00:43:45.000It was this lady and her dad, and her dad, the mama died, and the dad was lonely, and the dad had been interacting with some woman, and he went all the way to Europe to meet her.
00:44:02.000By this time, he's in the hole, $250,000, $350,000, just sending money to this person that doesn't exist.
00:44:10.000When I finally prove it to them, it's painful to do it.
00:44:15.000I tell them, I take no pleasure in telling you this, but the only thing worse than being in a bad relationship for a year is being in one for a year and a day.
00:45:12.000This is something that every president has agreed on.
00:45:15.000If you go back and watch Obama's speeches, you go back and watch Bush's speeches, all the presidents before us, including Clinton, have all talked about having a border, having a strong border, having a protected border.
00:45:29.000But this is a weird thing they're doing.
00:45:31.000They're just letting people come in, and the Red Cross is encouraging it.
00:45:40.000This is a mass migration into America.
00:45:42.000Well, I've been to the border recently.
00:45:46.000And I talked to those guards down there, and I'm telling you, I spent just a day down there, and I know there have been people that have spent a lot more time down there than that, but what I heard down there was...
00:46:12.000Even knowing—I felt like I knew a lot about it before I went down there, but I was shocked.
00:46:19.000As much as I thought I knew about it, I was shocked when I got down there.
00:46:26.000First off, the morale among those guards down there is—the fact that they're hanging in and doing as well as they are is— They're turning into social workers.
00:46:46.000They went down there to be guards, and they say, what we're doing now, instead of apprehending these people, is we're greeting them.
00:46:56.000And we're processing them and giving them money and resources.
00:47:09.000You know, there are the Texas border guards, and they wear brown uniforms.
00:47:15.000And then there are the federal that wear green.
00:47:20.000And if you get apprehended by a brown uniform, you get arrested, processed, and sent back.
00:47:31.000If you get apprehended by a green uniform, You get arrested, processed, given a court date in four years, seven years, or whatever, and released into the country.
00:47:49.000So they run to the green uniforms and run away from the brown uniforms.
00:48:22.000You know, it's been going on for a good while.
00:48:25.000Now, Abbott Of course, has been taking some of them and bussing them up into different locations instead of sending them back, which has lately been something you can't do.
00:52:49.000No, I bet you they all show up for their hearings because it's been seven to ten years and they'll show up and say, hey, I've been waiting seven to ten years.
00:52:57.000The system will probably at that point let them stay.
00:53:04.000They've had children who are citizens because they were now born in the country.
00:53:09.000I bet you a high percentage of them show up for those hearings because they will predict getting a good result when they show up for the hearing.
00:53:17.000And they'll have American-born children at that point.
00:53:21.000So we're subsidizing behavior that we don't want.
00:53:28.000And we've got between – they tell me that between 2010 and 2020, they had about 11 to 1,500 Chinese come across the border.
00:53:42.000And in the first 11 months of 2023, they had about 33,000.
00:53:55.000Are you worried about that in terms of it being a military threat?
00:53:59.000Are you thinking these are people that are escaping a totalitarian, oppressive government and they want to be able to make their own money and live in the land of the free and the home of the brave?
00:55:10.000And one thing I want to be real careful about, and I'm very sincere about this, I don't want to say anything that causes people to feel badly or foster any kind of hatred toward Asian people in the United States.
00:55:38.000It's not the people, it's the government.
00:55:44.000I think that we've got, it's just like, if they are sending people over here that are military-aged with an agenda, would we be naive to think that if we've let that many in,
00:56:05.000that they couldn't spread out across the country and In some coordinated effort, attack the energy grid here on a given day and create havoc?
00:56:52.000And a good friend of mine who knows a lot about the military world and the tactical world said, listen man, it would take 10 dudes, 10 well-trained dudes, and they'd take over this fucking city.
00:57:06.000He goes, 10 bad motherfuckers who are well-trained and well-armed.
00:57:10.000Do you remember the, was it North Hollywood, the bank robbery where those crazy fucks showed up with bulletproof vests and machine guns and took over a bank and had a shootout with the cops on the street.
00:58:01.000And to see this happening, to see that no one is saying that might be a possibility that's not being discussed, I hear a few people like you saying it.
01:00:03.000There's a very good possibility that they're being trafficked, that they're going into the sex industry, or they're being forced into the sweatshops.
01:02:09.000So if they find out, well, this isn't their parent, then, okay, what are they going to do with the child?
01:02:18.000And so I guess don't ask, and then you don't have the responsibility.
01:02:22.000But they're sending these children up there, and he's saying we are knowingly We're knowingly sending them into either a sweatshop or the sex industry up there.
01:04:22.000And then when you look at what's happening at those military installations that they have land around, like B-2 stealth bomber training, drone training and all,
01:05:02.000Sun owns 40% of Chinese old land in the U.S. He owns over 100,000 acres of land in Valverde County, Texas.
01:05:09.000All those two companies, Brazos, Highland Properties, and Harvest, Texas, through his two companies.
01:05:14.000His purchases in 2016 and 2017, his plans to build a wind farm as well as his purported ties to Chinese military drew scrutiny in Texas several years after his acquisitions.
01:08:57.000Because if not, we'll be talking about it when it's too late.
01:09:00.000And we'll be saying, how the fuck do we not see this coming?
01:09:03.000And what I want is, I think if people will start talking about it, people will hear us talking about it.
01:09:10.000And say, you know, these aren't crazy conspiracy guys.
01:09:15.000These are pretty commonsensical guys that are saying, we should just ask the questions.
01:09:21.000We should be asking, why isn't anybody asking the questions?
01:09:24.000And we're not the only people asking the questions, but we certainly have big microphones to be asking the questions with.
01:09:31.000It's just a complete failure of corporate media that they're not asking these questions.
01:09:38.000Yeah, and that is the entire reason that I did this network, Merritt Street Media.
01:09:45.000You know Robin, and I was sitting at our kitchen bar At our house in California, and I was flipping back and forth between different news networks, and I was getting so frustrated.
01:10:03.000I said, why won't somebody just tell the truth?
01:10:07.000Why does everything have to be spin, spin, spin, spin, spin?
01:10:10.000Why doesn't somebody just say what's happening and let us do it?
01:16:01.000Yeah, because if you put that back up for a second, let me tell you what's at some of these places.
01:16:07.000What it says right at the beginning is...
01:16:10.000Land near the Air Force Base in Grand Forks, North Dakota, sending lawmakers into a frenzy in 2021. Yeah, you know, there's another thing that Mike Baker, who's from the CIA, had brought up, is that one of the things that they're doing is selling cell phone tower equipment.
01:16:29.000And selling routers and undercutting other companies and making, like, really good deals.
01:16:34.000So they can set up these cheap routers and cell phone companies.
01:16:37.000And, you know, a lot of these have been proven, especially with the company Huawei, right?
01:16:42.000When they outlawed Huawei from selling phones in this country.
01:16:45.000They were proven that some of their technology has third-party access.
01:16:49.000They can do things and siphon information and perhaps even, you know, intercept cell phone signals.
01:17:07.000Whitman Air Force Base, B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Base, Missile and Drone Operations, MQ-9 Reaper, Global Strike Command, three intercontinental ballistic missile wings, And they're right next to it.
01:17:25.000Fort Liberty, they're right next to it.
01:17:29.000Why would you want your biggest global threat next to those?
01:17:37.000You have no idea what they have there.
01:17:39.000I don't play StarCraft, but I imagine if I was watching someone play StarCraft and all this was setting up, I'm like, oh, they're going to get smoked.
01:18:58.000You know, I think one of the things I said was all they're doing is creating intellectual rot.
01:19:07.000They're not teaching these kids anything about critical thinking.
01:19:15.000I don't know what they're teaching at universities now, but if they're not teaching critical thinking, if they're not teaching these kids who we're getting ready to turn the world over to, for your kids,
01:19:33.000Jay's kids, my grandkids, How are they going to think their way through this?
01:19:44.000I mean, we're selling them this land here, and we're getting ready to turn the world over to kids who will be adults that we're not teaching to critically think.
01:20:00.000We're also not encouraging different opinions.
01:20:03.000I mean, universities have always been a battleground of intellectual discourse, where people get together and they debate things.
01:20:10.000But if you have an opposing opinion, they'll pull the fire alarm, they'll chant and scream and stop you from talking, they'll try to block speakers from coming, they'll call in bomb threats.
01:20:21.000Wild shit that is the exact opposite of what universities are supposed to be about.
01:20:27.000What debates are supposed to be about is an opportunity to prove that you're right, and if you're really good at debating, you can make that person look foolish and you recruit more people to your side of thinking.
01:20:37.000That's a great way to figure out who's right and who's wrong.
01:20:41.000If you really believe that your opinions are so much more valid than some person who's a conservative Christian, let that person talk.
01:21:06.000Let's find out who's wrong and who's got ridiculous ideologies and who's looking at things from a fact-based perspective or maybe there's a little bit of something from both sides you agree with.
01:21:14.000There's only one way to find out and you're not getting that from universities anymore.
01:25:00.000Chris Williamson was on here the other day talking about the differences in spatial recognition.
01:25:06.000Men have the significant difference in reaction time.
01:25:11.000There's a bunch of different factors that don't go away.
01:25:14.000When you transition someone to being a woman, and then there's tendon strength, and there's a bunch of things about the shape of the hips, the ability to generate force, all that stuff is like so much different.
01:26:32.000I had an Olympic athlete, won multiple gold medals in the Olympics.
01:26:41.000Different people just said, you're just kidding yourself if you think it's the same.
01:26:46.000And I felt so bad that she had that result where they drummed her out.
01:26:55.000If we're not teaching critical thinking, if we're not...
01:26:59.000If we're not adhering to science, if we're not embracing science—and, you know, when you talk about woke, they say they're postmodernist thinkers, which means they reject science.
01:28:28.000So if we're not – that's what I mean about meritocracy.
01:28:33.000If we're not holding these kids to a standard and we're not actually teaching them to get prepared, how are we going to compete on the international stage?
01:28:45.000Well, you know the difference between the way our TikTok works and the Chinese version of it works?
01:28:50.000Well, I know they don't let them on it very much, if at all.
01:28:53.000They don't let them on it after 10 p.m., and they highlight science innovation, martial arts, athletic achievements.
01:29:01.000They highlight all these very positive things.
01:29:05.000That's what their algorithm promotes, promotes all these very positive things.
01:29:10.000Suppresses all the other stuff, even deletes it and gets rid of it.
01:29:13.000They don't want any social contagions entering into their children.
01:29:21.000If you're a guy with a mustache and red nails and you're saying, I'm going to take all your kids, that guy is going to get massive traction on TikTok.
01:29:46.000Then they start, like, whatever I gotta do to get the kind of attention that this person's getting.
01:29:50.000Okay, wear nails, wear a wig, wear this.
01:29:52.000There's probably fake trans influencers.
01:29:55.000There's people saying outrageous things specifically just to attract the algorithm.
01:30:01.000The way I've described it is, this is a thing that I stole from Tony Robbins.
01:30:05.000Tony Robbins was talking about, at one point in time, I'm pretty sure it was him, talking about how if you have two ships that are going in the same direction, parallel to each other, and one of them just takes a slight turn, as time goes on, that one's gonna be so much further off the original path.
01:30:20.000And that's what I'm worried about with us.
01:30:22.000Is that all this TikTok stuff and all this social media stuff, it's pushing the norm so much further away.
01:30:28.000Like you were saying before that people pushed back because they went so far with all this craziness that people are pushing back.
01:30:35.000But what Jordan Peterson has talked about, and I think he's brilliant with this, he's like, what they'll do is they'll push until you say enough.
01:30:49.000And then you wait a while, maybe less than the time before, and then you stop them again.
01:30:54.000And then this keeps going on for a long time, and you're so much further away from what you agreed upon was acceptable when you initially started.
01:31:26.000I'm a little terrified, because I think that the grip that money has, I'm just gonna say money, forget about defining it, the grip that money has over politics and political decisions that are made in this country is unshakable.
01:31:39.000I don't think that's ever gonna get shaken.
01:31:41.000And the best way to ensure that that grip remains tight is to crack down on what people are allowed to and not allowed to talk about on social media and to encourage as much chaos like we're currently seeing right now that acts as both valid social issues and gigantic distractions.
01:32:02.000So all those things that are at the forefront including the immigrant crisis.
01:32:07.000I think the immigrant crisis is a fantastic way to get people to start thinking about this new problem then to be thinking about all the problems that existed before this was ever being discussed.
01:33:21.000And I say, because you got to open that channel.
01:33:28.000So it's wide open when it comes time to talk about things that do matter.
01:33:33.000If you don't ever talk to your kid until it's critical, it's too late, man.
01:33:38.000You've got to start talking to them about things that don't matter.
01:33:41.000So when it comes time that they've got a crisis at school or in a relationship or something, they're so used to talking to you that it doesn't feel weird.
01:33:55.000And so I tell them, you know, talk to them about things that don't matter so you don't make them feel awkward or on the hot seat and they can come to you when they really need to talk about things.
01:34:12.000And you've got to start talking to them about how to think for themselves and critical thinking that, as I said, is not happening at the universities.
01:34:54.000There are evidence-based therapies that says if there's something in your life that's going to stress you, you need to learn to cope with it.
01:35:06.000In therapy, we have systematic desensitization, immersion therapies, things where you learn if you're afraid of snakes or you're afraid of airplanes or whatever, you have to learn to cope with that because there are going to be snakes in the world.
01:35:22.000There are going to be airplanes in the world.
01:35:23.000There are going to be elevators in the world.
01:35:25.000There are going to be whatever it is that stresses you out.
01:35:30.000Trigger warnings do exactly the other thing.
01:35:32.000They say, oh, if there's something that bothers you, we'll warn you if it's going to come up and you can go over here and put your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.
01:35:41.000What's going to happen when you get out in the world and there's nobody there to say, oh, we're getting ready to talk about something that might upset you, so you get to go in this other room and sit in the dark for a while.
01:36:26.000They have access to the same research that I do, which is that trigger warnings don't work, but they do it because they're virtue signaling.
01:36:37.000They want to do it because it makes them look sensitive, even though it doesn't work.
01:36:46.000If you want to make somebody feel better, you tell them the truth.
01:36:51.000You want to make yourself look better, you tell them what they want to hear.
01:37:35.000When they shut the schools down for two years, you may remember, at the time, when they shut it down for a couple of weeks, I said, oh, yeah, okay.
01:38:26.000And let me tell you who was involved in shutting this down.
01:38:29.000Department of Education, CDC, and this is the same bunch that controls the statistics, the research and statistics that I just went over with you that said young people are at the highest levels of anxiety,
01:38:47.000depression, suicide, and loneliness since they've been keeping records.
01:38:51.000That didn't start with COVID. It started 10 years before COVID. So they had that information, Joe.
01:38:59.000They knew these kids, this population is more vulnerable than it's ever been, and they also knew that going to school, interacting with their peers, this was their lifeline.
01:39:12.000They knew they were the most vulnerable they had ever been and that going to school was the lifeline that kept them going.
01:39:20.000And they shut those schools down for two years.
01:39:25.000And they also knew that that school is where the mandated reporters are.
01:39:32.000That's where the mandated reporters are who report sexual molestation, child abuse, all kinds of trauma to these kids.
01:39:41.000And when they shut it down, those referrals to Child Protective Services and Department of Child and Family Services We're good to go.
01:40:33.000You did it because you could, and you had no plan to reopen the schools, and that's where government's getting in the way of being healthy.
01:40:42.000That's where families are getting broken apart, and that pisses me off.
01:41:01.000My kids went back to school pretty quick.
01:41:03.000And it was also one of the reasons why I wanted to be here.
01:41:06.000They had a completely different attitude about what you couldn't do during COVID. But why would they ever want schools to be shut for two years?
01:41:15.000Like, what's the motivation behind it?
01:41:39.000And then they spent $5.5 trillion, counting...
01:41:47.000Stimulus checks, unemployment, extended unemployment benefits, $4.4 trillion of which went into savings and checkings account, which means they didn't need it.
01:41:57.000And then when they did spend it, they spent some of it on rent and groceries, the first $1.1 trillion of it.
01:42:04.000The rest of it went into savings and checking.
01:43:16.000Because they don't close the achievement gap educationally, which means they don't do as well in school, so they don't get as good of jobs, and the more blue-collar jobs are riskier,
01:43:33.000you know, because they're working with their hands, they're working in places where they're more inclined to get injured.
01:44:07.000And if you've got somewhere between 50 and 55 million kids in the public school system, and however many of them were affected by this, do the math.
01:44:19.000It doesn't take shaving very many years off at the end of life to—I've seen estimates anywhere from 5.5 million to— 10 million years of lives lost by the fact that they won't have the achievement that they might have had otherwise.
01:44:38.000And there are some efforts being made to close the gap, but not enough, and the gaps haven't been closed.
01:44:46.000Right now, 30% of 5th graders and about 30% of 8th graders can't read at the most basic level.
01:44:54.00019% of high school graduates can't read at the most basic level.
01:44:59.000But yet they get progressed on because they get paid if they go to the next grade level.
01:45:17.000I'm glad you're out there saying these things as a respected voice, as a guy that people want to listen to when you recognize the actual problems and not what everybody's just sort of parroting.
01:46:36.000I've seen university professors teach that to their classes about how the most unrepresented are minor attracted persons.
01:46:44.000That's what I mean when I say we're picking the wrong battles here.
01:46:48.000But do you think that that, when I see stuff like that, I'm like, I go back to the Yuri Bezmenov interview, the guy who was the former KGB guy that said that the Soviet Union had infected our schools with Marxism and we're ruining.
01:46:59.000I mean, it really, if you watch that speech, everything that he said came to be true.
01:47:05.000It's all what we're dealing with right now.
01:47:06.000It's literally the exact same thing that he was describing in the 1980s.
01:47:36.000I'm very concerned that it's progressing in a direction that even if people push back, the direction is moving so fast with so much momentum and people are so insane.
01:48:53.000I'm going to live those things with intention.
01:48:58.000Now, you've got to think about that for a minute, because you always read about famous people, and they say, His philosophy or her philosophy of life was, and there'll be some profound thing,
01:51:14.000And I don't think people should go to their kids' school and run up the stairs like their hair's on fire, accusing everybody of doing something.
01:51:41.000But the way they're being treated, parents, and even in this country, the distinction, the way they're describing some of these parents, like there was this one thing that was – what was the bill – There's something that came up that was trying to recognize parents disrupting school board functions because they were upset and labeling them as domestic terrorists.
01:52:06.000Because it was so egregious that I was like, how could you ever say this?
01:52:10.000You don't think that people are going to be upset if you're trying to tell the parents that everything that you believe is invalid and that we're going to teach your children the way we see the world.
01:52:22.000And we're going to protect your child by letting your child tell us secrets and not tell you about them.
01:52:29.000And we're going to change the child's name when the child's at school.
01:52:59.000To be clear, the Justice Department did not label parents domestic terrorists.
01:53:02.000As we said, the use of the phrase originated with a September 29, 2021 letter sent by National School Board Association, a federation of state associates that represent locally elected school board officials.
01:53:12.000To the White House seeking federal assistance to stop what it said was a growing number of threats and acts of violence against public school board members and other public school district officials, mainly over the issue of mask mandates and propaganda purporting to the false inclusion of critical race theory within a classroom instruction.
01:53:42.000In that letter, the NSBA said that while it had been working with state and local law enforcement officials, it believed federal involvement was warranted as well.
01:53:51.000So did they describe them as terrorists?
01:54:00.000Because they're calling it Hate Crimes Prevention Act, violent interference with federally protected rights statute, the conspiracy against rights statute, and executive order to enforce all applicable federal laws for the protection of students and public school district personnel, and any related measure.
01:54:16.000It sounds like they're kind of treating them like what they're saying seems like a lot like terrorism.
01:54:20.000I think there was a filing that described them as domestic terrorists.
01:54:24.000I thought I saw something about a filing where they were...
01:54:30.000Ted Cruz asked someone, do you believe parents are victims?
01:54:33.000Okay, it says, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing two days later, Senator Ted Cruz said, the Department of Justice looked at the issue, critical race theory, and decided to label the parents objecting to this teaching as domestic terrorists.
01:54:46.000So that's his distinction, his description.
01:54:49.000At that hearing, Cruz asked Christian Clark, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, do you believe parents objecting at school boards are domestic terrorists?
01:55:01.000Clark said the Department of Justice was committed to ensuring robust civil discourse and Garland's memo was focused on threats.
01:55:08.000Clark said the review directed by Garland would determine how federal law enforcement tools can be used to prosecute crimes.
01:55:16.000Nevertheless, later in the hearing, Cruz again claimed, when it comes to parents at school boards, you're perfectly comfortable with calling a mom at a PTA meeting a domestic terrorist.
01:55:49.000Sorry for language and letter that likened parents to domestic terrorists.
01:55:55.000It says, the letter on September 29th, warning that school boards face physical threats due to opposition to COVID-19 policies and critical race theory.
01:56:04.000The letter claimed that some unruly parents' protests may be equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.
01:56:13.000Yet on Friday, the Department of Justice had issued a memorandum.
01:56:16.000Apparently based on that letter, NSBA issued an apology for the letter.
01:56:20.000On behalf of NSBA, we regret and apologize for the letter, the NSBA said, noting that there was no justification for some of the language including in the letter.
01:56:30.000Parents at school board meetings in Fairfax County, Virginia have worn t-shirts declaring parents are not domestic terrorists.
01:57:09.000Either way, it sounds like someone said it, which is why people responded, which is why parents didn't wear the t-shirt if nobody had actually called them that.
01:57:16.000At least I wouldn't imagine they would.
01:57:18.000Yeah, that sounds like even the way they were describing it.
01:57:21.000But yeah, some of them could be considered domestic terrorists.
01:59:03.000And the people that don't, I think they just don't understand what's going on, or they're just ideologically so connected with the idea that trans women are women.
01:59:10.000They're willing to sacrifice these biological women and the fairness involved in sports.
01:59:15.000You know, I didn't even know this was an issue until, what is it, 2015 or 2016?
01:59:20.000A female MMA fighter who wasn't really female.
01:59:23.000And they were a biological male and didn't tell the first two people that they fought that they were a biological male.
01:59:29.000So this person beat the fuck out of these two ladies and claimed that they didn't have to disclose it because it was a medical issue.
01:59:40.000And that's when I found out that there was this insane movement to allow trans women, if you're going to say trans women are women, they should be able to do all the things women do, including compete in women's sports.
01:59:50.000And then you're going to see records broken, staggering records broken.
01:59:55.000By people that just claim that they're women.
02:00:07.000Which is like at its most basic level, the most ridiculous thing.
02:00:13.000Here's something that I found on this Hip Hip Hooray.
02:00:17.000It says, the phrase could have anti-Semitic roots.
02:00:22.000Rioters in Europe sometimes shouted HEP HEP while on prowl for Jews, and mob harassment of Jews in Hamburg, Frankfurt, and other German cities in 1819 became known as the HEP HEP riots.
02:00:41.000Hitler's stormtroopers adopted this jeer.
02:00:53.000If somebody's cheering somebody on for a good thing, that seems like a long stretch back to 1819. It's like when they were trying to say that the OK symbol was white power.
02:01:21.000Some people were using it as white power.
02:01:23.000Were they doing it upside down, though?
02:01:24.000I don't know the way that they were doing it, but people were doing that.
02:01:28.000But don't you think they were doing it kind of ironically?
02:01:32.000Is it like a 4chan thing, like free bleeding, where they convince people of something stupid?
02:01:36.000Some, but there are people that they would never have found.
02:01:39.000They don't even know how to get on 4chan that we're doing it.
02:01:41.000Right, but I bet that's where it started, and then they learned how to do it from that.
02:01:44.000It's probably one of those things like the Flat Earth thing.
02:01:46.000It starts off as a goof, and then next thing you know, you've got a whole movement behind it.
02:01:50.000Probably anything can happen like that on the Internet now, especially in taking into account the idea of all these Russian bots and trolls.
02:01:58.000Yeah, that's what I mean about things getting oxygen on the Internet.
02:02:03.000If you started that outside a barn in Nebraska, You and a couple of mouth breathers whose IQ matched the number of teeth you had, it would have gone like half the county.
02:02:21.000Now it travels the world in a matter of seconds.
02:02:25.000And then they retroactively look for people from the 90s making the OK symbol and claim there's some giant cult, some white power cult that's always existed.
02:02:34.000Yeah, and that's the problem with presentism.
02:02:40.000Well, presentism is something I've talked about where people hold people to current standards based on something they may have done Ten years ago,
02:03:03.00020 years ago, as an idiot teenager, and it's gone so far as to go all the way back 250 years.
02:03:14.000They go back to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and they want to change school names or tear their statues down now because they owned slaves 250 years ago.
02:03:43.000The mores and folkways and laws 250 years ago were not the same as they are today.
02:03:50.000And they judged them because they didn't have the foresight to say, 250 years from now, there will be different standards than they are now.
02:04:26.000But then they came along and said, well, we're going to change this to 20, and we're going to give you a ticket retroactively because you drove 30. And you said, well, but it was 30 when I was driving 30. I know.
02:04:38.000But you should have known we were going to change it to 20 in the future and driven 20. So here's a ticket, Mr. Rogan.
02:05:27.000They'll find a tweet that somebody put out, or an X that somebody put out, I guess it was a tweet then, an X now, that somebody may have written as a 13-year-old teenager.
02:05:41.000Your brain's not through growing when you're 13, but now you want to pick you to host some event or something.
02:05:48.000They go back and find something you said...
02:05:51.000And hold you to it for the rest of your life.
02:06:47.000You know, the SAT test was decided to be culturally biased, and so they stopped using it.
02:06:55.000But the research now says that is actually helpful To minorities, which you can't call minorities now, you have to call them historically minimized.
02:07:10.000But the research says now, these kids don't have the teachers, the resources, the training to make the grades, but they've got the brainpower.
02:07:26.000You give them the SAT, That is a way to catapult themselves out of that situation and they can qualify not on GPA but SAT And that it actually is a plus for disadvantaged children,
02:07:46.000And schools know that, but they won't reinstitute it because they fear being judged because the general thought is it's a negative.
02:07:58.000And even though they know it's not, they're so focused on virtue signaling, they won't reinstitute it because they're afraid of being called racist.
02:08:09.000Well, isn't it just a sign of bad teaching and bad school systems and disadvantaged kids?
02:08:15.000It shouldn't be a sign that the actual test itself is a problem.
02:08:19.000The test itself is what's been used to show how competent people are forever.
02:08:24.000If people are failing the test, the idea that that's because there's some sort of discrimination involved in the test seems so insane.
02:08:31.000It seems like you're just saying that those people can't compete.
02:08:46.000They're not getting a chance to learn.
02:08:47.000Yeah, and there are so many bad ideas that I can agree it's like DEI. I can 100% agree That you want to try and get as many people involved in as many different things at many different levels as possible.
02:10:29.000Okay, last spring, campus emerged from pandemic restrictions.
02:10:33.00082 of his 350 students signed a petition against him.
02:10:36.000Students said the high-stakes course notorious for ending many a dream of medical school was too hard, blaming Dr. Jones for their poor test scores.
02:10:44.000The professor defended his standards, but just before the start of the fall semester, university deans terminated Dr. Jones' contract.
02:10:51.000The officials Also, it tried to placate the students by offering to review their grades and allowing them to withdraw from classes retroactively.
02:10:59.000The chemistry department's chairman, Mark E. Tuckerman, said the unusual offer to withdraw was a one-time exception granted to students by the dean of the college.
02:11:08.000Mark A. Walters, director of undergraduate studies in the chemistry department, summed up the situation in an email to Dr. Jones before his firing.
02:11:16.000He said the plan would extend a gentle but firm hand to the students and those who pay the tuition bills.
02:11:23.000An apparent reference to parents, the university's handling of the petition provoked equal and opposite reactions for both chemistry faculty who protested the decisions and pro-Jones students who sent glowing letters of endorsement.
02:12:18.000Especially if you've got students that give the guy glowing reviews, especially if he's highly respected.
02:12:23.000You know, when you're going to have a very difficult course, like I'm assuming organic chemistry is, and you have 300 people in there, there's some people that just aren't cut out for that.
02:12:31.000That's just going to be the case with everything in life that's hard to do.
02:12:35.000You can't have chess tournaments become easier because some people aren't doing well at chess and say chess is too hard.
02:12:43.000Well, it's not too hard for Magnus Carlsen.
02:13:38.000In 2020, some 30 students out of 475 filed a petition asking for more help, Dr. Said Dr. Arona who taught that class with dr. Jones.
02:13:46.000They were really struggling He explained they didn't have a good internet coverage at home all sorts of things the professors Assuaged the students in an online town hall meeting dr. Aurora said many students were having other problems dr. Kirshenbaum another chemistry chemistry professor at NYU said he discovered cheating during online tests Okay So,
02:14:08.000it seems like COVID had a big factor in it.
02:14:10.000They came back from COVID and that just makes a lot of sense.
02:14:13.000You're young, for two years you're not studying, you're not doing jack shit, and then you came back and you're really soft.
02:14:20.000Yeah, but when you now get out there to treat a patient, Right.
02:16:17.000You've got to find something you're passionate about and some skill set, knowledge set that is specific to you that they can't replace you by noon tomorrow.
02:16:27.000And people out there that are hearing this that are frustrated are like, oh, that's easier said than done.
02:16:58.000That's what – so many people on the left and so many college professors right now are talking about the goal needs to be a quality of outcome.
02:17:09.000We don't even have a quality of opportunity.
02:17:26.000If somebody wants to sit home in a beanbag eating Cheetos, that's not the same as somebody that sits on a toilet eating their lunch falling asleep.
02:18:21.000An Ivy League school, and so you're paying $200,000 for this elite education, and then they teach the goal is equality of outcome, then why do I need an elite education?
02:18:35.000If the goal is equality of outcome, why am I paying you $200,000 for this elite education?
02:18:41.000If the goal is equality of outcome, why don't I go get in a bean bag and eat the Cheetos?
02:18:48.000Well, that's what scares me about universal basic income.
02:18:51.000I used to think that was a really good idea, until I saw the way people responded when they got checks during the pandemic, and especially people that got unemployment.
02:19:03.000And the idea, the beautiful part of the idea is that if you gave people enough money for food and shelter, then they could pursue their dreams.
02:19:24.000Well, I can't quote you the exact numbers, but I can tell you the trend, and that is the longer you're off work, The less likely you are to ever return to work.
02:19:35.000And I can tell you why the research says that's true.
02:19:39.000And these are people that have legitimate injuries, for example.
02:19:42.000I mean, truly have a back injury at work or something where they have to have fusions and that sort of thing.
02:20:42.000And now, everybody thought, for example, at the end of the lockdown, that when that was over, it was going to look like Remember that movie Grease when school was out and they had the carnival and everybody came running out of the end of the deal and they were running around?
02:20:57.000They thought that was what it was going to be like when the lockdown was over.
02:21:16.000So they get used to it and they get comfortable.
02:21:21.000I was shocked when people said, what happened to the supply chain?
02:21:26.000Well, you paid people more money not to work than to work.
02:21:31.000They gave them unemployment, plus a bonus, and then a bonus on top of the bonus, plus they didn't have the money for the commute, and gas was $7 a gallon in California.
02:22:53.000And when you get all of that money that they get for free, the difference between them and these that work 95% of the time is single digit thousands.
02:23:07.000It definitely doesn't incentivize you to do anything different.
02:23:11.000I mean, why would you want to bust your ass all day, logically, doing a job that you hate, traveling, commuting, spending all that money on gas?
02:23:19.000When you can make a real similar amount doing nothing.
02:24:35.000Yeah, and here's a question that I'm going to have to face is, let's say that ChatGBT uploads 10 of my books and 1,000 hours of my TV shows and then answers the question,
02:25:59.000And coming into an election year, what if they get close to the election and do a deep fake with one of the candidates saying something...
02:26:11.000Outrageous, like, hey, some stuff has come out about me that you're going to hear soon, and I'm dropping out of the race, so don't waste your vote on me.
02:26:19.000And they drop that so late that the real candidate doesn't have a chance to counter it.
02:26:26.000It could actually drive the election outcome.
02:26:35.000I really, really appreciate your perspective and your willingness to say these things, because I know there's a lot of pushback and people get pretty crazy.
02:26:43.000Well, they do, but, you know, I let both sides talk.
02:26:49.000And I'm sure I'll get criticized for that, but this new network is...
02:27:38.000We'll have our own channel, and it's 24-7.
02:27:41.000And We've Got Issues is really the blueprint for the network because it's all going to follow the same straightforward, science-backed, fact-based.
