00:00:00.400Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad. Earlier today I recorded an episode with PragerU on my forthcoming book Suicidal Empathy, which you can pre-order right now, please do so.
00:00:12.820And yesterday I also posted a link if you'd like to pre-order signed copy, so you can do all that.
00:00:19.520But prior to heading off for my recording today, I went for my morning walk and went for a coffee, and we were sitting there at the coffee shop, and I posted the following very incendiary post.
00:00:36.280Why do women no longer wear any real clothes and instead are always in athleisure? It's grotesque. Every single woman at the cafe is dressed in this manner.
00:00:44.760And, you know, it's just part of my joking around. I'll sometimes post things about, oh, I hate the song that's playing at the cafe, or you should see the people next to me, how they're gossiping about so-and-so.
00:00:57.020It's just kind of random utterances that are coming at me in my daily life. So I didn't think much of it, just having a bit of fun.
00:01:06.480Then I went off, recorded my PragerU suicidal epathy, and then as we were being driven back to our condo, I saw just a tsunami of hate.
00:01:19.760Now, some of you may have heard that I have ranked the sources of hate that I've received.
00:01:29.520The most hate I've ever received, and I'm not being facetious, was when I made a joke about the French-Canadian accent on Joe Rogan's show.
00:01:38.020For about a month, I was public enemy number one in Quebec.
00:01:42.100I speak fluent French. I speak better French than most of the people who came after me.
00:01:47.100But they simply couldn't handle the fact that I would dare make fun of the French-Canadian accent.
00:01:54.240Then I also said that the second group that was the most unbearably unhinged were the trans activists.
00:02:03.760And with Valerie Bertinelli, where once I had mentioned that my wife was about to speak to a barista who seemed like they were trans,
00:02:11.900and she was kind of very afraid to not address them the proper way.
00:02:16.080And so that post was meant to show how sensitive my wife was in not trying to hurt someone's feelings,
00:02:22.360and it turned into, oh, look at this guy who's afraid to talk to a trans person and so on.
