00:00:00.000 Visiting professor and global ambassador at Northwood University and author of The Parasitic
00:00:04.700 Mind, Dr. Gad Saad, joins primetime. Dr. Saad, the people in California,
00:00:13.260 how do you think they're grappling with this fire and the politics of it psychologically?
00:00:21.200 You know, it's unbelievable to see how unserious these people are, right? Thomas Sowell,
00:00:27.860 the great economist, said that there are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.
00:00:32.180 So it's nice to have pronouns and all the rest of that woke stuff. But for every dollar that you put
00:00:38.840 into this, it's a trade-off that you're taking from somewhere else, right? So for example,
00:00:43.240 at the University of Michigan did a study where they were spending something like,
00:00:47.860 they had 500 positions, $30 million spent on DEI. You could hire 150 professors at $200,000
00:00:56.720 to add to the faculty roster. So life is about trade-offs. Spend a bit less time on gender 0.79
00:01:03.860 pronouns and a bit more on fire management. Everybody would be happier.
00:01:08.520 So does losing your home in a fire, does that change someone's way of thinking,
00:01:13.480 or are they just going to go back to the same old woke BS that got them into this mess?
00:01:20.180 You'd like to think that they would autocorrect, but I can tell you that I've often been approached
00:01:25.100 by people in the neighborhood who tell me, oh, you know, I love your work, Dr. Saad. And then I say,
00:01:30.440 who did you vote for? Oh, I voted for Justin Trudeau, of course. So they love my work,
00:01:34.940 and yet they never change their voting behavior. So I'd like to think that maybe a disastrous fire
00:01:40.080 will cause you to alter your political orientation, but maybe not. We'll see.
00:01:45.000 Do Gavin Newsom and Justin Trudeau remind you of each other? 0.91
00:01:48.980 They do, except that Justin Trudeau is a lot more feminine than the lizard. 0.88
00:01:58.040 All right. Dr. Gad Saad, who is the paragon of masculinity. You cannot keep women away from him. 0.76
00:02:04.780 Ladies, just try to calm down. He's the Canadian Stephen Miller.
00:02:10.540 Good to see you, Professor. Thanks, as always.
