The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad - My Thoughts on Donald Trump's Historic Win (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad

00:00:00.480 Thank you all for joining me on this historic November 6, 2024, as I think many of you are

00:00:12.000 also suffering of lack of sleep.

00:00:15.040 We ended up going to sleep around 3 in the morning and woke up at 7, so about 4 hours

00:00:20.800 of sleep.

00:00:21.360 And as I went to bed with my wife, I went to each of my children and told them, Trump

00:00:31.280 won, and they sort of just, you know, groggily woke up and just gave me a hug and were happy

00:00:37.840 and went back to bed.

00:00:39.940 Make sure that your children always are filled with good ideas over bad ones.

00:00:45.500 At least teach them how to think and hopefully they will converge on good ideas.

00:00:49.680 So first, congratulations to Donald Trump, to J.D. Vance, to the United States, but more

00:00:59.440 importantly to the world, and even more importantly to truth and freedom.

00:01:05.300 Some of you know that in chapter 1 of the Parasitic Mind, I talk about the two most fundamental

00:01:13.940 ideals that shape my life are truth and freedom, and certainly the win of Donald Trump yesterday

00:01:24.640 is congruent with those pursuits.

00:01:28.780 So some of you may wonder, of course, oh, but you know, you're Canadian.

00:01:33.980 Why do you care so much?

00:01:35.100 Why are you vested?

00:01:36.420 Because I care about ideas, right?

00:01:39.660 I care about the veracity of ideas.

00:01:42.040 So you, you know, you wouldn't tell me, hey, don't, don't weigh in on the Soviet Union's

00:01:49.200 communism because you're Canadian and what's happening in the Soviet Union doesn't matter.

00:01:53.480 Well, no, because the communism eventually escapes, so to speak, that parasitic idea escapes

00:02:00.040 from the Soviet Union and then it infiltrates around the world and it creates an iron curtain

00:02:05.640 and Cuba becomes communist and many other countries try communism and socialism.

00:02:12.740 So my investment, both cognitively and emotionally and existentially in yesterday's outcome, is

00:02:24.760 completely irrelevant in terms of what my citizenship is, right?

00:02:31.280 It's a win for all of the ideas that the United States was built on.

00:02:41.080 It's a rejection of diversity, inclusion, equity.

00:02:45.140 It's a celebration of meritocracy.

00:02:48.820 It's a rejection of women can have nine-inch penises.

00:02:52.840 It's a rejection of having 900 women, biological women, lose medals for the hard work that they

00:03:03.900 put because a man decided that he's now a woman and one party said, yes, we will defend the

00:03:11.160 right of that man to go into women's prisons and rape them, to go into bathrooms, to go with

00:03:16.940 your daughter and mine into the locker room.

00:03:19.940 No, we don't want that.

00:03:22.820 It's a rejection of settled science.

00:03:26.900 Science is never settled.

00:03:29.580 It is always provisional.

00:03:31.900 If tomorrow there is incontrovertible evidence that the theory of evolution is wrong, then we

00:03:40.000 have to accept that and find a better theory.

00:03:43.840 It won't happen, but you have to be open to that if you are a scientist.

00:03:48.820 Many, many theories that we thought were right 300 years ago, we no longer think is right.

00:03:55.000 Which party defended settled science?

00:03:57.780 Which party thought that it was okay to trample people's first amendment in the pursuit of a

00:04:03.960 greater goal?

00:04:05.160 Which party was against or more so against the second amendment?

00:04:09.960 Which party thought that it was a good idea to have a czar of misinformation and disinformation?

00:04:19.400 And on and on, all of the things that I talk about, right?

00:04:22.400 Which party thinks that the United States is irrevocably damaged?

00:04:27.380 There is no such thing as American exceptionalism.

00:04:29.860 Which party looked at most Americans as degenerates, deplorables, idiots, imbeciles, rubes, plebs, the great

00:04:40.760 unwashed, garbage.

00:04:43.880 It turns out that people don't like to be treated this way.

00:04:48.500 By the way, if you think that the way the Democrat establishment was speaking with arrogance towards

00:04:57.420 a large swath of the American population, you should see the ecosystem that I inhabit in academia.

00:05:06.320 Just the level of arrogance that academics exhibit towards all of the deplorables makes you ashamed

00:05:21.520 to be an academic.

00:05:23.600 Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't believe in academia.

00:05:27.140 Academia is the most noble of pursuits.

00:05:30.040 To be a, in Arabic, you say, faylasuf, right?

00:05:34.120 When you get a doctor of philosophy, right?

00:05:36.520 You're a faylasuf in Arabic.

00:05:38.380 You're a philosopher.

00:05:39.380 You're a lover of knowledge.

00:05:40.980 There's nothing more noble than to be an academic.

00:05:43.580 As long as you are a true pursuer of knowledge.

00:05:49.320 Unencumbered by your identity.

00:05:51.280 Unencumbered by political bias.

00:05:53.720 Unencumbered by elitist arrogance, right?

00:05:57.780 Think about Socrates walking through the market, willing to interact with everyone.

00:06:03.180 One of the reasons why my voice and my message resonates is because I don't look down on people.

00:06:10.440 And it was actually really beautiful.

00:06:12.900 I just had recently a chat with Rob Schneider, who came on my show.

00:06:18.120 It's actually the pinned chat on my YouTube channel.

00:06:22.520 You can go watch it.

00:06:23.320 And Rob said something that was very, very touching to me.

00:06:28.740 And he said, you know, many of us follow you because, you know, yes, you're a professor and you've got all this training and all those titles and so on.

00:06:37.420 But when someone hears you speak, they don't feel like you're talking down to them, that you think they're nobodies.

00:06:43.440 And I don't.

00:06:46.000 And as I've repeatedly said, I take much greater pride in receiving emails from the trucker and the corrections officer and the soldier who says,

00:06:58.200 hey, you know, I'm sitting in my camp so-and-so and I'm listening to your lecture on evolutionary psychology.

00:07:05.780 Oh, I just watched your chat on Joe Rogan and I decided to go back to university and study behavioral science because of you.

00:07:13.620 That touches me.

00:07:15.480 Now, of course, it's always nice when academics also say nice things about you.

00:07:19.160 But it's the ability to be able to have as much of positive influence on as many people as possible without, you know, looking down on them.

00:07:30.760 That makes my job so rewarding.

00:07:35.620 OK, now, certainly the Democrats didn't do that.

00:07:39.240 Right.

00:07:39.600 They doubled down.

00:07:41.400 You're all rubes.

00:07:42.700 They sought Lady Gaga and Beyonce and the anointed ones.

00:07:48.520 Because Beyonce has sang a few songs and hence made billions of dollars, she's better than you.

00:07:55.840 She will tell you what you're supposed to do.

00:07:58.420 You didn't get that.

00:07:59.220 Donald Trump is a billionaire.

00:08:01.480 But the reason why he resonates with people is because he touches the working class.

00:08:08.140 They see themselves in him, which now brings me to an important point.

00:08:15.380 I mean, I have many, many things I want to talk about.

00:08:17.080 So thank you for all those who will stay throughout.

00:08:19.380 I'm only bound by the fact that I'll be appearing on Will Cain's show, you know, a bit past noon.

00:08:28.540 So I'll try to cover all the points that I have to do.

00:08:32.200 But if I end up going till about noon, I'll have to leave.

00:08:36.080 All right.

00:08:36.400 The first thing I wanted to talk about is a really important analogy or not analogy, a comparison, an apt comparison between Lionel Messi and Donald Trump.

00:08:48.380 And I hope, you know, even if you're not a soccer fan, I hope that you'll still listen to the point I'm trying to make here.

00:08:56.440 But Lionel Messi, yeah, I'm old enough.

00:09:00.400 I actually, just a couple of weeks ago, I turned 60.

00:09:02.660 I still can't believe that I'm 60 years old.

00:09:04.640 I feel I'm 12.

00:09:05.440 Just 12 years old with a beard and a good vocabulary.

00:09:11.980 But in any case, I'm old enough to have seen all of the greatest players of all time.

00:09:17.600 And as I've said, you know, the minute that I saw this guy play many, many years ago, he is better than the next five best players combined.

00:09:29.120 He is a dream.

00:09:30.520 But beyond being a dream as a player, it's his personality.

00:09:34.200 And I've been fortunate enough to get to know the owner of Inter Miami, where Messi plays.

00:09:42.820 He reached out to me a while ago, and I ended up going down to Miami to hang out with the guys and so on.

00:09:50.180 And Messi is just, I mean, he really is a otherworldly role model.

00:09:55.880 His humility, when he has certainly every reason to have a chip on his shoulder.

00:10:00.820 His humility is unbelievable.

00:10:01.980 Now, this is not, I'm not going to try to argue that Donald Trump is as humble as Lionel Messi.

00:10:07.800 Hardly that, but hopefully you'll appreciate the comparison.

00:10:13.100 Lionel Messi has every imaginable record you could think of.

00:10:16.660 He's the most decorated soccer player by far, you know, and on and on.

00:10:21.100 I mean, every imaginable accolade.

00:10:22.480 But, regrettably, until 2016, he hadn't won an international title with Argentina.

00:10:32.740 So, all the haters said, he's a fraud.

00:10:35.780 He's a charlatan.

00:10:36.740 He only can do it for his club team.

00:10:40.240 Which, of course, was untrue in that, you know, it's a whole team that has to win.

00:10:45.360 And so, for example, in the 2014 World Cup final, they lost 1-0 in overtime.

00:10:50.540 Had the goal scorer Higuain scored a few easy chances, then he would have won the World Cup in 2014.

00:10:59.240 Then he lost the Copa final in 2015.

00:11:02.440 Then he lost the Copa final again in 2016.

00:11:04.960 And I think he had also lost an earlier Copa final when he was a much younger player.

00:11:13.600 So, he had lost, I think, four international finals.

00:11:17.960 And he was getting so much abuse.

00:11:20.900 Imagine a player of his stature getting insulted non-stop by his own people,

00:11:27.600 telling him, you'll never be like Maradona, you're useless, you're a fraud, and so on.

00:11:33.080 So, he quit the national team in 2016.

00:11:37.880 He quit.

00:11:38.480 He said, I've had enough.

00:11:39.440 I tried my best.

00:11:40.600 He quit.

00:11:41.640 And then, luckily, he was convinced to return.

00:11:44.820 Came back to the national team.

00:11:47.160 In 2021, he ended up winning the Copa America with Argentina.

00:11:52.820 Then he won the Finilissima against Italy.

00:11:56.500 That's the winner of South America, Copa America versus Europe.

00:12:00.600 So, that was his second title.

00:12:02.360 So, in 2022, when he was playing in his, I think, fifth World Cup,

00:12:08.040 they lost the first game to Saudi Arabia.

00:12:10.600 But then, guess what?

00:12:12.260 Argentina won the World Cup.

00:12:14.240 And then, he just won the summer, the Copa America again.

00:12:18.000 So, he had retired from the national team.

00:12:21.400 And had he not had the stick-to-it-ness, the resilience, the honey-badger attitude that he ended up exhibiting,

00:12:30.800 he wouldn't have won the World Cup.

00:12:32.740 He wouldn't have won two Copa Americas.

00:12:34.980 He wouldn't have won the Finilissima.

00:12:36.400 So, irrespective of how many things you threw at him, he ended up coming out on top.

00:12:42.020 And when the World Cup final was happening in 2022, I think it was the day that I was the most nervous in my life.

00:12:50.140 And I might say, who cares?

00:12:52.120 I mean, you're not Argentinian.

00:12:53.220 And I explained on Joe Rogan's show, and I remember that clip went viral.

00:12:58.020 I met many people who said, oh, you're the Lionel Messi guy from Joe Rogan.

00:13:02.920 I explained that the reason why I was so vested in Messi winning, because it was the ultimate test for cosmic justice.

00:13:12.620 It basically was the cosmos saying that if this beautiful, out-of-this-world artist does not win the World Cup, the world is not just.

00:13:27.660 Because now, of course, everybody says, yes, it is absolutely the case.

00:13:31.240 He's the greatest, the incontestable, greatest player of all time.

00:13:35.080 Which, of course, would have still been the case, even if he didn't win the World Cup.

00:13:38.320 But now, no one could hold anything against him.

00:13:41.280 And he's won it, he's done it.

00:13:43.740 And so, the rest of us can wake up every morning and say, hey, there is cosmic justice in the world.

00:13:49.860 There is still hope for me.

00:13:51.400 Things will work out for me.

00:13:53.300 You know, the governments can steal all of my book royalties, even though all my money is made in the U.S.

00:14:00.060 Quebec and Canada can steal everything from me.

00:14:02.280 But it will work out.

00:14:03.980 There will be cosmic justice.

00:14:06.200 I will be rewarded.

00:14:08.360 And all of you can probably have similar stories.

00:14:11.280 Where you say, you know what?

00:14:12.940 Things are going rough for me.

00:14:14.440 There's a lot of injustice.

00:14:15.680 But I'd like to think that it will work out.

00:14:17.780 And so, Messi winning the World Cup represented that.

00:14:22.960 So, now let's, let's now, I think you know where I'm going with this, with Donald Trump.

00:14:27.400 Now, when Donald Trump came to walk down that elevator in, I think, 2015, everybody laughed.

00:14:35.780 Oh, yeah, the idiot.

00:14:38.760 This guy, this Hollywood, not Hollywood, this, you know, television reality show star.

00:14:45.820 This, this, this, this, this brash, non-stately guy.

00:14:52.460 Sure, bring him on.

00:14:53.680 And then he beat all the odds and then became the nominee.

00:14:57.700 And then, if you remember the New York Times needle that says how likely you're to win until, you know, pretty late in the game.

00:15:05.240 99% probability that Hillary Clinton was going to win.

00:15:10.420 If you remember, a few days prior to the actual election, 2016, she put out a tweet, which she hasn't taken down since.

00:15:18.520 I trolled her a few days ago.

00:15:19.820 So, happy birthday to the next president of the United States.

00:15:23.520 She's referring to herself.

00:15:25.200 Talk about malignant narcissist.

00:15:26.840 It was a photo of her as a young kid.

00:15:29.960 And happy birthday to myself.

00:15:32.620 Okay, fair enough.

00:15:34.540 Well, he won.

00:15:36.820 And then, they threw everything at him.

00:15:39.600 He did very well.

00:15:40.740 Great economy, great, you know, everything, you know, Abraham Accords.

00:15:45.620 You know, many, many, many wonderful things.

00:15:50.000 I won't, you know, litigate, you know, the case again.

00:15:54.100 And then, of course, COVID happened.

00:15:55.840 And then, 2020 happened and he lost.

00:15:59.160 When it was time for him to come back, boy, you have never seen someone be as targeted as this guy.

00:16:09.100 Right?

00:16:09.260 Again, please understand, Donald Trump represents an archetype.

00:16:16.720 It's me speaking about Donald Trump.

00:16:19.240 Not that I need to say this.

00:16:20.440 I don't have to justify why I like him or don't like him.

00:16:24.080 Right?

00:16:24.680 But he represents an idea.

00:16:27.680 If I say in the parasitic mind, activate your inner honey badger,

00:16:31.860 which, by the way, many, many millions of people yesterday decided to do that

00:16:36.920 when they waited in line to vote for Donald Trump.

00:16:40.080 Their voice mattered.

00:16:42.360 Remember, I always said, don't write to me and say,

00:16:45.640 oh, but I'm not Joe Rogan.

00:16:47.000 I don't have the size of his platform.

00:16:48.620 How can I affect change?

00:16:50.280 Oh, I'm not some fancy professor that people listen to.

00:16:53.700 And I always write back and say, no, no, no.

00:16:57.020 Everybody has to do their part within their sphere of influence.

00:17:02.560 It might be that you interrupt your professor politely to ask them,

00:17:06.680 what do you mean when men too can menstruate?

00:17:09.540 Can you explain that to me biologically?

00:17:11.480 What do you mean by that, professor?

00:17:13.200 It could be you have a chat with your friend at the pub.

00:17:19.980 There's endless number of ways by which your voice matters.

00:17:23.700 And yesterday, certainly people hated the call to activate their inner honey badger.

00:17:29.820 Well, who could represent a honey badger more than Donald Trump?

00:17:34.840 Forget about whether you like him or don't like him.

00:17:38.640 He is order of magnitude more resilient than anything you could imagine in an ancient Greek tragedy.

00:17:48.380 It's astounding.

00:17:49.560 The entire apparatus of the U.S. government and intelligentsia was thrown at him.

00:17:58.840 99% of academics were after him.

00:18:02.940 How were they after him?

00:18:04.540 By parasitizing their students into voting against Orange Himmler.

00:18:10.080 Journalists were against him.

00:18:11.580 You've seen the stats on how many positive stories versus negative stories are told about him.

00:18:16.280 All day long, it's state propaganda against him.

00:18:19.980 Then there was lawfare against him.

00:18:22.900 Endless number of cases, right?

00:18:24.920 This indictment and that indictment.

00:18:26.660 And this one said that he raped me 40 years ago, but I don't have proof.

00:18:31.060 And this one says, I'm levying a $500 million judgment against you.

00:18:36.840 And 34 felony convictions and so on and so forth.

00:18:41.100 Violating every conceivable ethical, moral, legal tenet.

00:18:47.000 And I'm not going to relitigate all this stuff.

00:18:50.420 He's still, you know, he would go in the morning and freeze in the courtroom.

00:18:54.100 And then at night he would go campaign.

00:18:57.280 His energy is unimaginable.

00:18:59.360 And this is in comparison to when everybody on the Democrat side would tell us Donald Trump can run faster than Usain Bolt.

00:19:12.240 Not Donald Trump.

00:19:13.640 Joe Biden can run faster than Usain Bolt today.

00:19:17.060 He has more cognitive acuity than Darwin and Newton combined.

00:19:22.080 He puts to shame 30-year-olds, even though he couldn't finish a sentence.

00:19:27.000 And he didn't know whether the difference between a toaster and his wife.

00:19:32.680 But that's what existential chutzpah is.

00:19:35.360 That's what the term today would be gaslighting.

00:19:38.300 Right?

00:19:38.520 That's what the Soviet dissidents told us would happen with the brainwashing in the Soviet Union.

00:19:43.840 That's why George Orwell is who he is.

00:19:46.720 Because the playbook of how to brainwash a people is not something that the Democrats discovered today.

00:19:55.100 It is part and parcel of human history.

00:19:58.380 What is unique today are the specific parasitic ideas that I discuss in the parasitic mind.

00:20:03.320 But the capacity for the human mind to be parasitized, to be brainwashed, is just a universal and never-ending feature of the architecture of the human mind.

00:20:18.480 And so here comes Donald Trump.

00:20:21.060 You throw at him everything.

00:20:23.420 You impeach him many times.

00:20:25.880 And he comes out on top yesterday.

00:20:28.360 Not only he comes out on top.

00:20:29.700 I don't know if all the results have yet come in.

00:20:34.860 He's gotten pretty much all of the swing states.

00:20:37.380 He's probably going to get over 300 electoral votes.

00:20:41.060 I think he's won the popular vote.

00:20:43.880 He's gotten the majority in the Senate.

00:20:47.480 And likely will get the majority in the House of Representatives.

00:20:51.020 So every conceivable victory that you could imagine he's gotten when every single humanly thing was thrown at him.

00:20:59.740 Oh, I forgot.

00:21:00.880 Oh, yeah.

00:21:01.380 Two assassination attempts.

00:21:03.500 One of which, had he not moved his head, would have blown his brains to bits.

00:21:10.260 And it hit his face.

00:21:13.040 It hit his ear.

00:21:13.940 And then the next day he's going on.

00:21:16.480 And, of course, the iconic fight, fight, fight.

00:21:19.200 So if you're writing a camp song for future children to be motivated by a superhero, you wouldn't be able to generate a story like Donald Trump.

00:21:31.640 Now, the difference between Donald Trump and Lionel Messi is that Lionel Messi is very understated.

00:21:38.520 He's unbelievably humble.

00:21:39.840 You ask him who's the greatest soccer player of all time, he'll never mention it's him.

00:21:45.320 Donald Trump is less so, right?

00:21:48.720 He will tell you, I'm number one.

00:21:51.200 I've got the biggest penis and so on.

00:21:52.880 But guess what?

00:21:53.920 You probably need to have a bit of that to be able to succeed in the way that he's proven to be successful.

00:22:02.020 Sorry if there's background noise.

00:22:04.680 Some folks are doing some...

00:22:06.840 Let me see if I can close the door.

00:22:10.680 Are doing some renovations in the background.

00:22:13.880 One second, I'll close the door.

00:22:15.920 All right.

00:22:16.940 So, if for no other reason than the world is a scary place that requires tough leaders,

00:22:26.560 then what there would have never been more evidence that anyone could provide that suggests that in Donald Trump, you've got the ultimate fighter.

00:22:38.760 By the way, I want to read for you a quote from Seneca.

00:22:44.600 Seneca, the Stoic.

00:22:46.680 So, bear with me as I read it.

00:22:49.900 This is from chapter 7 of my last book on happiness.

00:22:55.020 The chapter is titled, On Persistence and the Anti-Fragility of Failure.

00:23:00.960 This is on page 133.

00:23:03.100 So, this is Seneca.

00:23:03.940 No tree which the wind does not often blow against is firm and strong,

00:23:10.100 for it is stiffened by the very act of being shaken and plants its roots more securely.

00:23:17.200 Those which grow in a sheltered valley are brittle,

00:23:20.260 and so it is to the advantage of good men and causes them to be undismayed that they should live much amidst alarms

00:23:29.220 and learn to bear with patience what is not evil save to him who endures it ill.

00:23:37.260 So, of course, a lot of fancy prose there,

00:23:41.380 but it simply means that trees that have been exposed, for example, to strong wind stressors,

00:23:50.260 are much more likely to have deep roots,

00:23:54.380 are much more likely to withstand any natural stressors,

00:24:00.760 because they have faced stressors.

00:24:04.160 It's the exact same idea that I explained in The Parasitic Mind,

00:24:07.660 about when you create echo chambers,

00:24:10.940 whether it be political echo chambers, belief echo chambers, academic echo chambers,

00:24:16.120 you are doing your brain a huge disservice,

00:24:19.000 because the brain expects to be challenged by opposing views,

00:24:23.840 just like your immune system, for it to operate maximally,

00:24:27.340 needs to be exposed to stressors, right?

00:24:30.200 That's why kids who have been exposed to allergens, right,

00:24:34.500 who have been exposed to pet dander,

00:24:38.180 to farm allergens,

00:24:40.280 are less likely to eventually suffer from asthma

00:24:44.780 and other autoimmune disorders,

00:24:48.200 because the immune system, for it to function maximally,

00:24:52.160 needs that, okay?

00:24:55.240 And so, the same thing happens when you're creating a sterile echo chamber,

00:25:02.120 where you're not exposed to opposing ideas.

00:25:04.920 Your brain doesn't learn how to engage in critical thinking,

00:25:09.340 and there's a neuropsychiatrist who had drawn that parallel

00:25:14.220 between evolutionary medicine and these sterile echo chambers.

00:25:17.660 I cite them in The Parasitic Mind.

00:25:19.380 Well, that's what Seneca is saying over 2,000 years ago.

00:25:23.140 In order for the tree to withstand these stressors,

00:25:26.980 it needs to have grown up in an environment of stressors.

00:25:30.260 If it didn't, it'll be very brittle, and it will split.

00:25:36.220 It will be blown by the wind.

00:25:39.820 Who can you imagine is more anti-fragile than Donald Trump?

00:25:44.660 Who do you want to go and deal with all of the nasty people around the world?

00:25:51.220 By the way, I don't know if this was true or not.

00:25:54.040 I saw that the Houthis, the maniacs in Yemen,

00:25:57.480 have decided that they've ceased hostility in the sea lanes and against Israel.

00:26:06.120 Boy, it turns out that his honey badger abilities were very quick to work

00:26:13.680 if this story about the Houthis is right.

00:26:18.020 Newton talked about for every force there is a reaction,

00:26:22.660 right cause, or more generally, the idea that for every cause there is an effect.

00:26:27.980 We don't live in a world where there are no links between variable A

00:26:34.580 and the downstream consequences of variable B.

00:26:37.860 If you ignore causality at your perils,

00:26:43.220 well, Donald Trump winning means that the downstream effects

00:26:50.640 is many, many nasty people in the prison backyard, so to speak,

00:26:54.900 are going to be afraid

00:26:56.640 because people don't respond to suicidal empathy.

00:27:01.140 Oh, keep hitting me, keep insulting me,

00:27:05.420 keep saying that my daughter is a transpho

00:27:09.160 because she doesn't want to share her locker room

00:27:12.520 with a six foot three woman with a nine inch penis

00:27:16.920 and there'll be consequences to that.

00:27:19.740 So Trump's victory is really a celebration

00:27:24.440 of the honey badger mindset.

00:27:27.560 And for all of you who have children,

00:27:29.840 you could look to Donald Trump and say,

00:27:32.340 hey, when you grow up, be as tough as this guy.

00:27:35.100 Whether you like him or not,

00:27:37.080 you cannot deny that.

00:27:39.120 So that's that.

00:27:43.120 Does this mean that the battle is over?

00:27:45.480 Not even close.

00:27:47.900 Donald Trump is a doorstop, right?

00:27:50.520 He at least, he will improve illegal immigration.

00:27:55.040 But it takes much more than improving illegal immigration

00:27:57.540 or reducing illegal immigration.

00:27:59.840 You need to deport all those who are here illegally.

00:28:03.040 You need to not tolerate any ideologies,

00:28:09.220 including religions that cloak themselves

00:28:12.500 in the robe of religion,

00:28:14.060 but that are perfectly antithetical

00:28:15.700 to American and Western values.

00:28:19.180 In other words, it's not enough to come in and say,

00:28:21.840 I'm going to put a stop.

00:28:23.980 It's basically like saying,

00:28:27.060 I'm going to recognize that I'm 200 pounds overweight

00:28:33.940 and starting tomorrow,

00:28:35.380 I will no longer put on any more weight.

00:28:39.560 No, no, no.

00:28:40.220 I need to reverse the fact that I'm 200 pounds overweight.

00:28:43.540 I need to lose 200 pounds

00:28:45.820 if I wish to increase my chances of having a long life.

00:28:49.880 It's not just about stopping my weight gain.

00:28:54.020 So it's not only about, you know,

00:28:56.080 at the margins reducing illegal immigration.

00:28:59.520 It's deporting people.

00:29:02.620 It's saying if you commit a heinous crime,

00:29:06.480 you won't get 67 chances.

00:29:09.420 We will throw the book at you

00:29:11.360 because people have the inherent intrinsic right

00:29:15.700 to live free of being preyed upon all day.

00:29:19.480 because one party thinks

00:29:22.220 from a suicidal empathy perspective

00:29:24.900 that the most laudable virtue that you could have

00:29:29.540 is to recognize that criminals are just humans too

00:29:33.520 who've been wronged by the system.

00:29:35.940 And what's the point of penalizing them

00:29:38.220 by throwing the book at them

00:29:40.300 when if you only give them ceramics classes,

00:29:43.320 they will stop doing what they're doing.

00:29:45.520 That's this idea is exactly the point of my next book.

00:29:49.340 Suicidal Empathy, which, by the way,

00:29:51.500 it turns out that yesterday,

00:29:53.580 I have some big news to share

00:29:54.900 regarding the book Suicidal Empathy.

00:29:56.680 I won't share it yet,

00:29:58.320 but it so happened that it was on the day

00:30:01.680 that the election happened.

00:30:04.080 Maybe that's a positive omen, so to speak.

00:30:08.360 So the battle is not won.

00:30:10.820 Yes, we can celebrate

00:30:12.180 that the right outcome came out yesterday

00:30:14.600 if you believe in freedom and truth

00:30:16.520 and the American ideals

00:30:18.400 and American exceptionalism.

00:30:20.120 But the battle continues.

00:30:21.760 It took between 50 to 100 years

00:30:24.060 for all of the parasitic ideas

00:30:25.860 that I discuss in Parasitic Mind

00:30:27.540 to have flourished everywhere, right?

00:30:30.300 Some ideas, cultural relativism,

00:30:32.160 were started by Franz Boas,

00:30:34.440 the Columbia University anthropologist,

00:30:37.260 nearly 100 years ago.

00:30:38.260 Some ideas, the granddaddy

00:30:40.440 of all idea pathogens,

00:30:42.300 which is postmodernism,

00:30:44.760 really took hold 40, 50 years ago.

00:30:49.020 The Michel Foucault

00:30:49.980 and the Jacques Derrida

00:30:51.320 and the Jacques Lacan

00:30:52.380 and all the other

00:30:53.260 French postmodernist bullshitters.

00:30:55.900 This is a...

00:30:57.260 The timeline is around the 60s

00:30:59.460 where this really took off.

00:31:01.080 You know, you can point

00:31:02.460 to the Frankfurt School earlier

00:31:04.600 as also having provided

00:31:06.520 the, quote,

00:31:07.700 epistemological framework

00:31:09.040 for all this bullshit

00:31:09.960 to flourish first within academia

00:31:12.560 and then it breaks out of academia

00:31:14.060 and it becomes endemic everywhere, right?

00:31:18.300 And so it's going to take a while

00:31:20.080 to when, you know,

00:31:22.120 to remove all of the cancer cells, right?

00:31:26.180 For example, when you have prostatitis,

00:31:28.320 which is a bacterial infection

00:31:31.340 of the prostate,

00:31:33.120 one of the reasons why it recurs,

00:31:35.180 and if you're wondering

00:31:37.100 how I know this,

00:31:38.540 it's because one of our Belgian shepherds,

00:31:42.240 Amar,

00:31:42.780 Amar in Arabic means moon.

00:31:44.760 It also could be used

00:31:45.860 as an adjective for great beauty.

00:31:47.840 Amar, our first Belgian shepherd,

00:31:50.720 he was a Gronendal.

00:31:52.060 Gronendal is one of the four...

00:31:53.320 There are four types

00:31:53.980 of Belgian shepherds.

00:31:55.200 There's the Gronendal,

00:31:56.740 the Ter Vuren,

00:31:57.380 the Malinois and the Lacenois.

00:31:59.960 So we had a Ter Vuren

00:32:01.420 and a Gronendal.

00:32:03.080 Those are actually

00:32:03.780 even more impressive

00:32:04.620 than the Malinois

00:32:05.220 because they've got long hair.

00:32:07.820 So they look like massive,

00:32:09.640 majestic, aristocratic beasts.

00:32:12.160 I mean, I tell you,

00:32:13.080 you weren't going to come after me

00:32:15.300 or burglarize our house

00:32:16.500 with these guys around.

00:32:17.420 I mean, they are insane,

00:32:19.020 insanely protective

00:32:20.400 and bonded to their family.

00:32:21.820 It's just...

00:32:22.260 It's the most beautiful thing

00:32:23.480 you can imagine.

00:32:24.020 In any case,

00:32:25.880 Amar started to develop

00:32:27.660 prostatitis

00:32:28.480 when he was

00:32:30.200 about two years old

00:32:31.420 and we'd give him

00:32:33.240 these very powerful antibiotics

00:32:34.620 but the vet

00:32:35.460 and the veterinary surgeon

00:32:37.100 explained to us

00:32:37.840 that the problem

00:32:39.540 with the prostate

00:32:41.040 is that

00:32:42.080 even when you give

00:32:43.600 the antibiotics,

00:32:45.000 if it doesn't kill

00:32:47.080 because,

00:32:48.000 you know,

00:32:49.420 some of the bacteria

00:32:51.160 can hide in the prostate

00:32:52.500 and the nooks and crannies

00:32:53.640 of the prostate,

00:32:54.820 then there is a...

00:32:56.360 I mean, I'm explaining this

00:32:57.640 to the vet

00:32:57.980 that wasn't an evolutionist.

00:32:59.300 There's a artificial form

00:33:01.240 of natural selection,

00:33:02.540 if you'd like,

00:33:03.680 whereby

00:33:03.960 the bacteria that survives

00:33:07.740 is the one

00:33:08.600 that is the strongest

00:33:10.180 and then when

00:33:11.820 prostatitis recurs

00:33:13.160 and flares up again,

00:33:15.340 you have a problem

00:33:16.720 and so it becomes

00:33:17.900 very, very difficult

00:33:18.740 to treat

00:33:19.380 prostatitis,

00:33:21.480 at least it was

00:33:23.280 in our Belgian Shepherd.

00:33:25.580 Well,

00:33:26.060 so you see the analogy.

00:33:28.160 If you don't eradicate

00:33:31.160 all of these

00:33:32.120 dreadful parasitic ideas,

00:33:34.220 they're going to come back.

00:33:35.980 So, okay,

00:33:36.560 Trump now wins

00:33:37.640 and hopefully

00:33:38.360 he does some great things

00:33:39.580 but then if the next person

00:33:41.740 that comes

00:33:42.400 is a Democrat

00:33:43.320 who doubles down

00:33:45.300 on all of these bad ideas,

00:33:46.800 well,

00:33:47.080 we're back to square one.

00:33:48.220 so there has to be

00:33:49.860 an ideological

00:33:50.720 shift

00:33:52.460 in the landscape

00:33:53.640 so that

00:33:54.880 we look back

00:33:56.160 and say

00:33:56.600 in what world

00:33:57.820 did it make sense

00:33:58.860 for a male

00:33:59.980 to beat the shit

00:34:01.280 out of women

00:34:02.160 in a boxing ring

00:34:03.260 and then win

00:34:04.420 the gold medal?

00:34:05.320 Oh, oops,

00:34:06.020 we now know

00:34:06.760 that he was a male

00:34:07.940 with testicles

00:34:09.500 and XY chromosomes.

00:34:11.020 I'm referring

00:34:11.380 to the Algerian boxer

00:34:12.600 and he had a,

00:34:13.860 which is a medical condition,

00:34:15.260 a micropenis.

00:34:16.260 By the way,

00:34:17.360 John Money,

00:34:19.080 who is the father

00:34:20.280 of gender ideology,

00:34:21.800 a clinical psychologist

00:34:23.080 at Johns Hopkins University,

00:34:25.020 I talk about him

00:34:26.080 in my first ever book,

00:34:27.900 in my 2007 academic book

00:34:29.880 titled

00:34:30.320 The Evolutionary Basis

00:34:31.180 of Consumption,

00:34:32.600 used to say,

00:34:35.240 hey,

00:34:35.600 if your little boy

00:34:37.060 has a micropenis,

00:34:38.940 and micropenis

00:34:39.820 is a medical condition,

00:34:41.540 right?

00:34:41.700 It's not,

00:34:42.600 you know,

00:34:42.860 you don't have

00:34:43.400 a nine-inch penis.

00:34:44.180 It's,

00:34:45.200 it's,

00:34:45.840 if you have

00:34:46.480 such

00:34:47.060 underdeveloped

00:34:50.200 secondary

00:34:50.960 male characteristics,

00:34:52.760 including the size

00:34:53.540 of your penis,

00:34:54.640 then,

00:34:57.120 guess what?

00:34:57.820 Let's just

00:34:58.840 castrate

00:35:00.200 the little boy,

00:35:01.480 put a dress on him,

00:35:03.020 call him Linda,

00:35:04.200 and it's all good.

00:35:05.460 He'll,

00:35:06.260 she'll grow up

00:35:07.040 to be a girl.

00:35:07.780 That was the starting point

00:35:09.400 of all this nonsense.

00:35:10.900 I warned you

00:35:11.760 about this

00:35:12.220 in 2007.

00:35:13.380 Yes,

00:35:15.760 go back,

00:35:16.640 read my book,

00:35:17.940 my 2007 book.

00:35:19.520 It's,

00:35:19.600 it's,

00:35:19.860 it's a rather

00:35:20.320 technical scientific book,

00:35:21.620 but,

00:35:22.480 you know,

00:35:22.740 I've assigned it

00:35:23.300 to my undergrad,

00:35:24.040 so believe me,

00:35:25.000 you can read it

00:35:25.920 if you decide to.

00:35:28.660 So,

00:35:29.380 the bottom line is,

00:35:31.020 if these bad ideas

00:35:32.280 are not eradicated

00:35:34.880 into the dustbin

00:35:36.100 of history,

00:35:37.140 then they'll come back

00:35:38.380 stronger than ever.

00:35:39.480 So,

00:35:39.760 yes,

00:35:40.760 celebrate

00:35:41.440 Donald Trump's

00:35:42.540 victory,

00:35:43.360 but,

00:35:44.820 continue.

00:35:47.220 This is why

00:35:48.000 I'm,

00:35:48.660 I woke up today

00:35:49.500 with even greater

00:35:50.460 alacrity

00:35:51.180 and greater focus

00:35:52.740 to finish

00:35:53.360 suicidal empathy.

00:35:54.420 It wasn't,

00:35:54.920 oh,

00:35:55.500 okay,

00:35:55.820 Kamala lost,

00:35:57.120 therefore,

00:35:57.740 I don't have to rush

00:35:58.700 to finish suicidal empathy,

00:35:59.820 because all of the

00:36:02.040 emotional and cognitive

00:36:04.620 irrationality

00:36:05.920 that I've been warning

00:36:07.780 against still exists.

00:36:09.420 It's just hiding

00:36:10.380 in the proverbial

00:36:11.460 prostate,

00:36:12.420 okay?

00:36:14.280 So,

00:36:14.780 now,

00:36:15.200 let me take a minute

00:36:15.940 or two to talk

00:36:16.680 about Elon Musk

00:36:18.580 and Joe Rogan.

00:36:19.540 I mean,

00:36:19.700 there are many other

00:36:20.280 people that I could

00:36:20.900 mention,

00:36:21.340 but,

00:36:21.640 of course,

00:36:22.460 many of you know

00:36:23.180 that I've gotten

00:36:23.960 to know Elon

00:36:24.720 quite well.

00:36:26.860 He's a big champion

00:36:28.180 of my work,

00:36:29.800 and Joe Rogan

00:36:31.440 I've known

00:36:31.860 for many years.

00:36:33.180 I've been on his show

00:36:33.860 ten times.

00:36:35.560 Look at these guys.

00:36:37.380 These are guys

00:36:38.440 who,

00:36:40.460 historically,

00:36:41.100 would have been viewed

00:36:41.660 as people of the left.

00:36:43.020 What makes them

00:36:43.960 the extraordinary people

00:36:45.020 that they are?

00:36:45.560 Well,

00:36:45.680 many things make them

00:36:46.460 extraordinary,

00:36:47.440 but one

00:36:48.300 is actually

00:36:49.700 the thing that I said

00:36:50.980 is the most difficult

00:36:52.560 for human beings

00:36:53.660 to do.

00:36:55.320 Do you remember

00:36:55.740 what that is?

00:36:56.780 Do you remember

00:36:57.120 when I was asked

00:36:58.080 what is the singular

00:36:59.800 phenomenon

00:37:00.580 of human nature,

00:37:02.500 of human behavior,

00:37:03.520 professor,

00:37:04.200 that has most surprised

00:37:05.540 you in your 30 plus years

00:37:06.940 as a behavioral scientist

00:37:08.760 and professor

00:37:09.400 and so on?

00:37:10.500 And I paused

00:37:11.120 and I said,

00:37:12.040 the inability

00:37:12.700 of people

00:37:13.760 to change their mind

00:37:15.040 irrespective

00:37:16.360 of the amount

00:37:16.980 of evidence

00:37:17.640 that you throw at them.

00:37:19.120 Well,

00:37:19.300 guess what?

00:37:20.400 Elon Musk

00:37:21.040 and Joe Rogan

00:37:21.900 are clear outliers

00:37:23.660 because they broke

00:37:25.760 through

00:37:26.380 that bias.

00:37:28.080 They were

00:37:29.180 of the left

00:37:30.540 and then they said,

00:37:31.960 hey,

00:37:32.300 I'm going all in

00:37:33.720 for Donald Trump.

00:37:34.980 Now,

00:37:35.280 stop for a second

00:37:36.040 and think.

00:37:38.240 And I don't mean here

00:37:39.580 to be,

00:37:40.120 you know,

00:37:40.880 invoking an argument

00:37:42.000 from authority,

00:37:43.080 but if Elon Musk

00:37:44.780 and if Douglas Murray

00:37:46.920 and if Neil Ferguson,

00:37:48.700 the historian,

00:37:49.420 and if Ayaan Hirsi Ali

00:37:50.900 and if Gad Saad

00:37:53.000 and if Elon Musk

00:37:55.840 and Joe Rogan

00:37:56.800 and Ackman

00:37:58.100 and David Sachs

00:37:59.580 all went for Trump

00:38:02.500 but Lady Gaga

00:38:03.920 went for Kamala Harris

00:38:05.460 and Beyonce

00:38:06.600 and Barbara Streisand

00:38:08.400 and the ladies

00:38:09.840 from The View,

00:38:11.540 does that not cause you

00:38:14.160 to take a second

00:38:15.140 and pause

00:38:15.780 and say,

00:38:16.200 well,

00:38:16.520 one of the two groups

00:38:17.720 is clearly wrong?

00:38:18.600 You know what?

00:38:20.820 When you're unsure,

00:38:22.780 don't bet against Elon.

00:38:26.220 I've told you this before,

00:38:27.520 I think.

00:38:27.840 I haven't really mentioned

00:38:28.740 it too much publicly

00:38:29.540 but at least I think

00:38:30.480 in a previous X Spaces

00:38:31.920 I said that

00:38:32.640 Elon and I sat

00:38:33.700 at his house

00:38:34.180 for four hours

00:38:34.760 having a chat.

00:38:36.120 He's an extraordinary

00:38:37.120 human being.

00:38:38.040 I mean,

00:38:38.280 truly.

00:38:40.020 In every possible way.

00:38:42.660 Warm,

00:38:43.300 humble,

00:38:44.420 intense,

00:38:45.400 personal,

00:38:46.200 intimate.

00:38:46.500 I put out

00:38:49.300 a sad truth clip

00:38:50.500 as soon as he

00:38:51.560 bought

00:38:52.480 and you can go

00:38:53.420 and watch it

00:38:54.060 from two years ago

00:38:55.360 when he bought

00:38:57.080 Twitter,

00:38:58.740 what was then Twitter,

00:38:59.920 I said,

00:39:00.720 of all things

00:39:01.800 that Elon has done

00:39:03.160 or will ever do,

00:39:05.160 nothing will come

00:39:06.320 remotely as close

00:39:08.400 in terms of

00:39:09.260 historical significance

00:39:10.580 than him

00:39:11.760 buying X.

00:39:14.020 And

00:39:14.420 I don't mean to be

00:39:15.940 the guy in the back

00:39:16.700 saying,

00:39:17.000 I told you so.

00:39:18.380 Imagine if Elon

00:39:19.580 had not bought X.

00:39:22.880 You'd have

00:39:23.620 the most idiotic,

00:39:26.240 the most parasitized,

00:39:28.140 the most unworthy,

00:39:30.640 lobotomized,

00:39:32.260 imbecile,

00:39:33.280 the most undeserving

00:39:35.280 person

00:39:36.040 running the most

00:39:39.620 important country

00:39:40.380 in the world.

00:39:41.860 Thank God for Elon.

00:39:43.200 and Joe,

00:39:44.920 of course,

00:39:47.340 he's got the biggest

00:39:48.180 platform in the world.

00:39:49.880 He was more than happy

00:39:51.140 to invite

00:39:51.800 Donald Trump

00:39:55.580 and

00:39:56.240 I spoke to,

00:39:58.460 I communicated

00:39:59.200 with one of the

00:40:00.460 senior advisors

00:40:01.080 of Trump

00:40:01.640 and I said,

00:40:02.120 look,

00:40:02.920 that's a fantastic

00:40:05.000 strategy

00:40:05.500 and I,

00:40:05.900 at the time,

00:40:06.540 you know,

00:40:06.720 they were also

00:40:08.060 hoping to,

00:40:09.160 for Trump and I

00:40:09.980 to have a chat

00:40:10.760 on my show

00:40:11.320 and I understand

00:40:12.240 that once they

00:40:12.840 had gone on Joe Rogan,

00:40:14.240 time was running out

00:40:15.120 and once you've

00:40:15.660 gone on Joe,

00:40:16.620 you know,

00:40:16.820 I'm small potatoes.

00:40:17.880 I get that

00:40:18.400 but I said,

00:40:20.200 look,

00:40:21.140 people hate

00:40:22.160 Trump

00:40:22.760 because he is

00:40:23.920 an aesthetic injury

00:40:24.940 as I explained

00:40:25.600 the parasitic mind

00:40:26.400 because they

00:40:26.960 smell the cork

00:40:28.120 of the wine bottle

00:40:28.980 where they say,

00:40:29.660 oh,

00:40:29.740 he's disgusting,

00:40:30.780 he's brash,

00:40:32.480 he's vulgar.

00:40:33.900 I hate him

00:40:34.800 but the reality is

00:40:36.080 if you give him

00:40:36.860 a chance

00:40:37.780 to interact

00:40:39.020 with people

00:40:39.660 in a down-to-earth

00:40:40.580 matter

00:40:40.940 where he doesn't

00:40:41.780 suck up the oxygen

00:40:43.000 in the room,

00:40:44.160 I'm willing to bet

00:40:45.180 that a lot of people

00:40:45.860 are going to come around

00:40:46.620 and that's exactly

00:40:47.440 what happened.

00:40:48.500 He went on Greg Gutfeld

00:40:49.740 and guess what?

00:40:51.180 He's just a cool guy

00:40:52.480 and he went on Joe Rogan

00:40:55.260 and people said,

00:40:56.760 wait a second,

00:40:57.460 I kind of like this guy.

00:40:59.100 He's not the Nazi

00:41:00.440 and Himmler

00:41:01.380 and Goebbels

00:41:02.220 and Goering

00:41:03.940 that they told me he was.

00:41:05.040 He doesn't eat babies.

00:41:06.620 He's not a monster.

00:41:07.500 He's actually

00:41:08.140 a pretty cool guy.

00:41:09.640 He's funny.

00:41:10.580 He's charming.

00:41:11.740 He's got charisma.

00:41:13.940 Megyn Kelly,

00:41:14.940 remember,

00:41:15.540 she hated Trump.

00:41:16.680 Look at her now.

00:41:17.920 That's the hallmark

00:41:19.360 of ultimate intelligence

00:41:21.320 and truly epistemological humility.

00:41:24.740 When you take people

00:41:25.920 who had,

00:41:27.580 J.D. Vance

00:41:28.480 was a,

00:41:30.580 you know,

00:41:31.200 a no-Trumper.

00:41:32.260 Look at him now.

00:41:33.640 Right?

00:41:34.220 So,

00:41:34.820 a very rare thing

00:41:38.160 is to be able

00:41:38.920 to have the epistemological humility

00:41:40.660 to say,

00:41:41.720 I used to believe X

00:41:42.980 and now I believe not X

00:41:44.780 in light of new

00:41:45.640 incoming information.

00:41:46.780 And that's what science is,

00:41:47.980 by the way.

00:41:48.700 That's why the concept

00:41:50.180 settled science

00:41:51.120 should never apply.

00:41:52.660 Okay.

00:41:53.340 So,

00:41:53.800 thank you to Elon.

00:41:54.600 Thank you to Joe Rogan.

00:41:55.720 Thank you to all the folks

00:41:56.680 who made this happen.

00:41:58.740 In whatever small way

00:42:00.040 I was able to contribute,

00:42:01.480 I'm delighted

00:42:02.120 to have been able to do so.

00:42:04.300 I was overwhelmed.

00:42:06.000 I am overwhelmed

00:42:06.760 by the number of messages

00:42:08.380 and emails

00:42:09.300 and DMs

00:42:11.340 I'm receiving

00:42:11.920 from people

00:42:12.560 who say,

00:42:13.200 look,

00:42:13.860 you've turned it for me.

00:42:16.840 You know,

00:42:17.400 it was listening to you.

00:42:18.640 It was reading your work.

00:42:20.340 It was reading your book

00:42:21.420 that did it for me.

00:42:22.840 And so,

00:42:23.200 ideas matter,

00:42:24.180 people.

00:42:24.480 that's how you get

00:42:26.800 Adolf Hitler

00:42:27.720 on the one hand.

00:42:28.640 That's how you get

00:42:29.380 Lysenkoism.

00:42:30.780 For those of you

00:42:31.320 who don't know

00:42:31.640 what Lysenkoism is,

00:42:33.100 it was the

00:42:34.060 theory

00:42:35.720 that

00:42:36.600 the laws

00:42:37.500 of heredity

00:42:38.480 and the laws

00:42:39.380 of genetics,

00:42:40.680 Mendelian genetics,

00:42:42.260 because they did not

00:42:43.280 conform to

00:42:44.040 Marxist philosophy,

00:42:46.060 the Soviet Union

00:42:47.160 was going to build

00:42:48.220 a food program

00:42:49.320 and an

00:42:49.840 agricultural science

00:42:51.540 that was rooted

00:42:53.040 in Lysenkoism,

00:42:55.020 named after Lysenko,

00:42:56.680 which,

00:42:57.340 I'm not going to get

00:42:58.040 into the technical details,

00:42:59.100 but relied on

00:43:00.640 certain principles

00:43:01.540 from Lamarckism,

00:43:03.120 which is theory

00:43:03.900 of acquired traits,

00:43:05.200 which is not how

00:43:06.800 genetic transmission

00:43:08.320 happens.

00:43:09.960 And that,

00:43:11.380 because

00:43:12.000 their theory

00:43:14.080 of genetics

00:43:14.840 had to conform

00:43:15.820 to their political

00:43:16.740 ideology,

00:43:18.380 they ended up

00:43:19.460 creating

00:43:20.320 massive famine

00:43:21.640 and led

00:43:22.900 to the death

00:43:23.540 of,

00:43:24.000 you know,

00:43:24.280 20 plus million people.

00:43:25.900 Ideas matter.

00:43:28.500 And

00:43:28.980 you always want

00:43:29.980 to be fighting

00:43:30.480 for good ideas.

00:43:32.240 The scientific method

00:43:33.700 is a good idea.

00:43:35.340 There is no

00:43:36.200 indigenous science.

00:43:37.760 There is no

00:43:38.220 Jewish science.

00:43:39.280 There is no

00:43:39.720 Lebanese Jewish

00:43:40.860 way of doing science.

00:43:42.160 There's just science.

00:43:43.400 We don't give a shit

00:43:44.180 about your

00:43:44.700 indigenous science.

00:43:46.300 We don't give a shit

00:43:47.000 about your

00:43:47.420 Jewish science.

00:43:48.200 science liberates

00:43:50.360 us from the

00:43:51.020 shackles of our

00:43:51.960 personal identities.

00:43:53.280 So support science.

00:43:54.260 There is no

00:43:54.700 settled science.

00:43:55.980 There's only

00:43:56.340 provisional science.

00:43:57.840 There is no

00:43:58.360 disinformation

00:43:59.080 and misinformation.

00:44:01.160 Bad ideas

00:44:02.100 will be superseded

00:44:03.500 by better ones

00:44:04.440 in the marketplace

00:44:05.380 of ideas.

00:44:07.000 Those are things

00:44:08.100 worth

00:44:08.580 fighting for.

00:44:10.540 And many people

00:44:11.380 died for those

00:44:12.140 ideas.

00:44:13.000 And so

00:44:13.340 thank God

00:44:14.540 for yesterday's

00:44:15.740 win.

00:44:15.960 A couple of more

00:44:16.580 things and I'll

00:44:17.300 let you go.

00:44:19.140 Thank you for all

00:44:20.040 those who have

00:44:20.880 stayed.

00:44:21.900 By the way,

00:44:22.440 I will eventually

00:44:23.300 post this on my

00:44:26.140 YouTube channel

00:44:27.280 and on my podcast.

00:44:28.940 If I may,

00:44:29.520 just forgive me for

00:44:30.280 engaging in a bit of

00:44:31.220 administrative stuff.

00:44:32.320 I don't do this

00:44:33.280 enough.

00:44:33.640 Maybe I should

00:44:34.060 always do it.

00:44:36.020 It's completely

00:44:36.780 free for you to

00:44:37.840 subscribe to my

00:44:39.120 YouTube channel

00:44:39.700 and press the

00:44:40.440 bell button.

00:44:41.560 It helps because

00:44:42.480 it helps me spread

00:44:43.160 good ideas.

00:44:43.740 And I'm now

00:44:44.180 thinking, by the way,

00:44:45.520 I haven't done it

00:44:46.480 yet, that it's

00:44:47.600 maybe finally

00:44:48.180 time to

00:44:49.280 reward those

00:44:51.400 who are

00:44:51.880 offering

00:44:53.100 alternative

00:44:53.980 platforms.

00:44:55.340 And I know

00:44:55.620 the Rumble

00:44:56.060 people have

00:44:56.580 written to me

00:44:57.140 and contacted

00:44:58.400 me many times.

00:44:59.240 We've held

00:44:59.700 meetings.

00:45:01.820 Maybe it's

00:45:02.500 time to also

00:45:03.140 move my

00:45:03.800 operations,

00:45:04.640 at least have

00:45:05.660 my voice

00:45:07.660 on Rumble

00:45:08.220 as well.

00:45:09.100 But in any

00:45:09.700 case,

00:45:10.820 subscribe to

00:45:11.480 my podcast.

00:45:12.540 It's free.

00:45:13.340 Subscribe to

00:45:13.880 my YouTube

00:45:14.260 channel.

00:45:14.580 It's free.

00:45:15.300 Support those

00:45:16.360 who are

00:45:16.820 fighting in

00:45:17.340 any way that

00:45:17.760 you can.

00:45:18.140 Go out and

00:45:18.920 buy copies of

00:45:20.400 my book.

00:45:20.880 Not because

00:45:21.520 the two or

00:45:22.360 three dollars

00:45:22.880 that I'll

00:45:23.220 make on the

00:45:23.920 royalties will

00:45:25.260 change my

00:45:26.260 life, but

00:45:27.060 because you're

00:45:27.560 supporting those

00:45:28.380 who are putting

00:45:29.000 everything on the

00:45:29.560 line.

00:45:30.580 Right?

00:45:31.060 And many of us

00:45:32.100 have done so.

00:45:33.000 Believe me,

00:45:33.720 the amount of

00:45:34.600 abuse that I've

00:45:35.340 gotten in

00:45:35.780 academia, the

00:45:36.620 number of

00:45:37.520 professorships that

00:45:38.420 I've lost,

00:45:39.620 chaired

00:45:39.860 professorships that

00:45:40.680 I didn't get,

00:45:41.600 grants that I

00:45:42.260 didn't win,

00:45:42.940 and on and

00:45:43.780 on and on is

00:45:44.740 I'm not going

00:45:45.500 to bore you

00:45:45.900 with the

00:45:46.140 details now,

00:45:46.920 but it

00:45:47.680 matters.

00:45:48.240 Luckily for

00:45:48.800 me, I am

00:45:50.020 currently a

00:45:50.620 visiting professor

00:45:51.380 and global

00:45:52.340 ambassador at

00:45:53.040 Northwood

00:45:53.480 University,

00:45:54.360 which is

00:45:54.800 known as

00:45:56.260 the Free

00:45:57.420 Enterprise

00:45:57.860 University.

00:45:58.660 Check them

00:45:58.960 out, by the

00:45:59.400 way.

00:45:59.680 They're in a

00:46:00.080 beautiful town

00:46:00.840 in Midland,

00:46:02.180 Michigan.

00:46:03.940 Hooray for

00:46:04.380 Michigan.

00:46:04.780 I've got three

00:46:05.260 reasons to love

00:46:05.900 Michigan now.

00:46:06.560 Number one,

00:46:07.440 Barry Sanders,

00:46:09.120 greatest running

00:46:10.080 back of all

00:46:10.620 time.

00:46:11.520 I used to

00:46:12.160 drop everything

00:46:13.600 just to watch

00:46:14.240 the Detroit

00:46:14.740 Lions, not

00:46:15.240 because I

00:46:15.600 like the

00:46:15.860 Detroit

00:46:16.140 Lions, but

00:46:17.140 because Barry

00:46:18.860 Sanders was

00:46:19.420 outlandish.

00:46:20.720 I mean, the

00:46:20.900 guy wasn't

00:46:21.340 human, the

00:46:21.940 way he

00:46:22.200 moved.

00:46:23.300 Second reason

00:46:23.980 I love

00:46:24.440 Michigan, well,

00:46:25.780 they certainly

00:46:26.520 carried the

00:46:27.960 state for

00:46:28.520 Trump yesterday,

00:46:29.500 and third

00:46:30.180 reason in no

00:46:30.840 particular order

00:46:31.600 is because I'm

00:46:33.640 currently at a

00:46:34.300 Michigan

00:46:34.540 university, and

00:46:35.560 I'd like to

00:46:36.140 give a shout

00:46:36.880 out here to

00:46:37.600 Kent McDonald

00:46:38.660 and his

00:46:39.640 team.

00:46:40.960 Kent is a

00:46:41.520 fellow

00:46:41.680 Canadian, by

00:46:42.240 the way, you

00:46:42.920 should see

00:46:43.260 this, there's

00:46:43.840 a bunch of

00:46:44.460 Canadians in

00:46:45.080 senior

00:46:45.320 administration at

00:46:46.100 an American

00:46:46.540 university, boy

00:46:47.380 Canadians are

00:46:48.000 cool, I mean

00:46:48.620 not Justin

00:46:49.160 Trudeau, but

00:46:50.040 you got Jordan

00:46:51.400 Peterson, you

00:46:52.180 got Kent

00:46:52.660 McDonald, you

00:46:53.320 got this

00:46:53.660 other Lebanese

00:46:54.500 Jewish guy,

00:46:55.300 extremely good

00:46:55.860 looking called

00:46:56.400 Gatsad.

00:46:58.080 We must be

00:46:58.880 doing something

00:46:59.440 right in

00:46:59.840 Canada to

00:47:00.380 try to

00:47:00.920 offset what

00:47:03.180 Justin Trudeau

00:47:03.800 is doing to

00:47:04.280 Canada, but

00:47:04.780 in any case,

00:47:05.280 maybe this is

00:47:06.480 also the

00:47:06.960 tide turning in

00:47:07.660 Canada, let's

00:47:08.240 see.

00:47:08.400 The last

00:47:09.660 thing I

00:47:09.860 wanted to

00:47:10.180 mention is

00:47:11.060 and I'll

00:47:11.760 call it

00:47:12.400 quits for

00:47:12.780 today, is

00:47:14.160 I've been

00:47:15.080 looking at

00:47:16.280 the manner

00:47:17.340 by which

00:47:18.060 people have

00:47:19.500 been reacting

00:47:21.020 to

00:47:22.240 yesterday's

00:47:24.060 victory of

00:47:25.800 Donald Trump

00:47:26.340 and specifically

00:47:28.080 I'm going to

00:47:28.660 focus on the

00:47:29.440 academics.

00:47:30.740 What amazes

00:47:32.040 me, folks,

00:47:33.380 is that many

00:47:34.440 of the

00:47:34.740 academics that

00:47:35.640 I know are

00:47:36.480 not just

00:47:36.920 academics in

00:47:37.700 that they

00:47:38.820 study marine

00:47:42.140 biology.

00:47:43.000 Many of

00:47:43.440 them, by

00:47:44.020 virtue of

00:47:44.700 my own

00:47:46.500 areas of

00:47:47.460 research,

00:47:49.580 they're likely

00:47:50.140 to be

00:47:50.560 professors of

00:47:51.220 psychology,

00:47:52.120 professors of

00:47:52.800 evolutionary

00:47:53.220 psychology,

00:47:54.140 professors of

00:47:54.800 consumer

00:47:55.400 behavior,

00:47:56.820 professors of

00:47:57.600 decision-making,

00:47:59.200 professors of

00:47:59.800 marketing,

00:48:01.280 at least

00:48:01.580 certainly

00:48:01.900 behavioral

00:48:02.360 marketing.

00:48:03.520 These are

00:48:04.400 people who

00:48:05.640 dedicated their

00:48:06.420 lives to

00:48:07.780 studying

00:48:08.340 behavior, to

00:48:09.420 studying

00:48:09.780 psychology, and

00:48:11.620 then it

00:48:12.020 baffles the

00:48:13.000 mind that

00:48:14.460 they could be

00:48:15.080 so lacking

00:48:16.100 in humility

00:48:17.300 and introspection.

00:48:19.780 They're all

00:48:20.780 walking around.

00:48:22.760 I can't

00:48:24.000 understand how

00:48:25.240 millions of

00:48:27.320 people are

00:48:27.880 such degenerates.

00:48:29.400 You study

00:48:30.520 decision-making,

00:48:32.160 asshole?

00:48:32.940 You have

00:48:33.680 professor,

00:48:34.580 doctor before

00:48:35.340 your name?

00:48:36.780 That's what

00:48:37.420 pisses me

00:48:37.960 off, is

00:48:38.440 the hubris

00:48:39.400 of my

00:48:40.460 colleagues.

00:48:41.440 No ability

00:48:42.320 to say,

00:48:42.720 well, wait a

00:48:43.140 second, you

00:48:44.280 know what?

00:48:45.900 I would be a

00:48:47.000 fraud if I

00:48:48.220 don't recognize

00:48:49.180 that here are

00:48:50.780 some compelling

00:48:51.400 reasons why

00:48:52.280 yesterday happened

00:48:53.720 the way that it

00:48:54.300 happened.

00:48:54.720 No, no, no.

00:48:55.600 They don't do

00:48:56.500 that.

00:48:57.380 They're all

00:48:57.980 going hysterical

00:48:58.940 on my

00:48:59.340 personal

00:48:59.880 Facebook page.

00:49:01.980 I mean,

00:49:03.360 nearly 99%

00:49:04.760 of them,

00:49:05.600 and by the

00:49:06.060 way, many

00:49:06.440 of them

00:49:06.940 have now

00:49:07.800 unfriended

00:49:08.420 me because

00:49:09.840 I'm a

00:49:10.820 degenerate.

00:49:11.960 I'm garbage.

00:49:13.960 Thank God

00:49:14.480 we didn't

00:49:14.880 hire

00:49:15.340 Professor

00:49:16.200 Gadsad at

00:49:16.940 my university.

00:49:18.760 He's trying

00:49:19.600 to end

00:49:20.080 women's

00:49:20.540 rights by

00:49:21.600 defending

00:49:22.040 Donald Trump.

00:49:22.680 So there is

00:49:23.540 zero humility,

00:49:25.260 zero ability

00:49:26.060 to change

00:49:26.660 your opinion,

00:49:27.840 zero ability

00:49:28.560 to introspect.

00:49:30.860 It's

00:49:31.420 grotesque.

00:49:32.820 Now, if

00:49:33.760 you had a

00:49:34.440 surgeon who

00:49:35.520 was going to

00:49:36.120 operate on

00:49:36.800 you, and

00:49:37.560 let's say he

00:49:38.580 suddenly was

00:49:39.240 afflicted with

00:49:40.000 Parkinson's, so

00:49:41.700 that he could

00:49:42.100 no longer, he

00:49:43.620 had the

00:49:44.320 Parkinsonian

00:49:45.320 tremors that

00:49:46.000 didn't allow

00:49:46.560 him to have

00:49:47.160 the manual

00:49:49.360 dexterity to

00:49:50.200 do surgery,

00:49:51.600 that person

00:49:52.580 would no

00:49:52.980 longer be able

00:49:53.600 to practice.

00:49:55.300 Well, where

00:49:55.780 is the

00:49:56.320 similar analogy

00:49:58.260 where you

00:50:00.340 are exhibiting

00:50:01.220 cues that

00:50:02.220 you are

00:50:02.580 lobotomized,

00:50:03.860 that you

00:50:04.200 are

00:50:04.400 parasitized?

00:50:05.480 How can

00:50:06.120 we entrust

00:50:06.920 you?

00:50:07.060 And I'm

00:50:07.340 not arguing

00:50:07.880 here, oh,

00:50:08.520 if anybody

00:50:08.940 takes a

00:50:09.480 position that

00:50:10.140 is contrary

00:50:10.660 to my

00:50:11.700 position, then

00:50:12.460 we're going

00:50:12.780 to no

00:50:14.100 longer allow

00:50:14.780 you to

00:50:15.140 teach.

00:50:15.980 But again,

00:50:16.880 think about

00:50:17.480 what that

00:50:17.900 says.

00:50:18.880 You've got

00:50:19.460 a university

00:50:20.200 system where

00:50:21.500 your kids

00:50:22.480 go to it,

00:50:23.320 you pay a

00:50:24.020 huge amount

00:50:24.700 of money

00:50:25.340 under the

00:50:26.520 trust that

00:50:27.920 if I

00:50:28.300 give you

00:50:28.700 tons of

00:50:29.220 money, you

00:50:30.200 will train

00:50:31.100 my children

00:50:33.360 to think

00:50:34.360 in whatever,

00:50:35.160 whether it

00:50:35.540 be in

00:50:36.060 studying

00:50:36.340 Shakespeare

00:50:36.860 or as

00:50:37.920 a fine

00:50:38.480 arts

00:50:38.960 student or

00:50:40.160 a mathematics

00:50:40.640 student or

00:50:41.460 a business

00:50:41.860 school student.

00:50:43.000 We're training

00:50:43.900 you how to

00:50:44.500 think, to

00:50:45.200 make better

00:50:45.660 sense of the

00:50:46.200 world, to

00:50:46.660 be intellectually

00:50:47.320 enriched.

00:50:48.360 But then I

00:50:48.880 look at all

00:50:49.560 my colleagues

00:50:50.200 and not one

00:50:50.920 of them is

00:50:51.260 saying, wait

00:50:51.640 a second,

00:50:52.900 I'm going to

00:50:53.460 stand up on

00:50:54.120 top of the

00:50:54.500 mountain and

00:50:55.000 tell you, I

00:50:56.040 get it, I

00:50:57.520 get that our

00:50:58.580 arrogance, our

00:51:00.220 elitism, our

00:51:02.480 dogmatic

00:51:03.820 intolerance

00:51:05.160 led to

00:51:06.200 this and

00:51:07.100 let's be

00:51:07.520 better, let's

00:51:08.860 offer better

00:51:09.540 ideas.

00:51:10.180 No, they're

00:51:10.600 all doubling

00:51:11.080 down.

00:51:12.620 That's why, to

00:51:13.900 my earlier

00:51:14.480 point, despite

00:51:15.660 the fact that

00:51:16.460 Donald Trump

00:51:17.000 has won, the

00:51:18.660 fight is only

00:51:20.360 beginning,

00:51:21.120 people.

00:51:22.200 So don't

00:51:22.860 take your

00:51:23.400 eyes off the

00:51:24.020 ball, get

00:51:25.300 engaged, activate

00:51:27.080 your inner

00:51:27.660 honey badger,

00:51:28.860 don't give

00:51:29.580 your money to

00:51:30.280 your alma

00:51:30.740 mater if

00:51:31.820 they're still

00:51:32.520 pushing

00:51:33.340 craziness.

00:51:35.140 Make people

00:51:36.460 earn your

00:51:37.420 friendship, earn

00:51:38.680 your trust, earn

00:51:40.320 your donor

00:51:40.940 dollars.

00:51:42.800 Life is about

00:51:44.560 causes and

00:51:45.300 effect.

00:51:46.700 If a

00:51:47.920 university is

00:51:49.420 promulgating

00:51:50.160 nonsense, if

00:51:51.680 they are

00:51:52.120 deplatforming

00:51:52.980 people who

00:51:53.660 disagree with

00:51:54.380 them, then

00:51:55.260 you say, guess

00:51:55.840 what, you

00:51:56.720 don't deserve

00:51:57.200 my money, you

00:51:58.300 don't deserve

00:51:58.920 to have access

00:52:00.360 to my

00:52:00.920 beautiful

00:52:01.340 children.

00:52:02.760 So there

00:52:03.240 you have it,

00:52:03.720 folks.

00:52:05.260 Thank God

00:52:06.080 that yesterday

00:52:06.660 went the

00:52:07.160 right way.

00:52:08.620 May God

00:52:09.120 protect, may

00:52:10.740 God or the

00:52:11.320 cosmos, depending

00:52:12.120 on your

00:52:12.560 religious outlook,

00:52:14.220 protect all

00:52:15.660 free thinkers,

00:52:16.800 all decent

00:52:17.440 people, all

00:52:19.220 capacity for

00:52:20.560 human reason.

00:52:21.800 May liberty and

00:52:22.720 freedom continue

00:52:23.400 to flourish.

00:52:25.500 I will

00:52:26.180 probably take a

00:52:27.080 bit of a

00:52:27.480 break this

00:52:28.000 afternoon, but

00:52:29.220 guess what, later

00:52:30.140 today or

00:52:30.780 tomorrow after

00:52:31.500 maybe I take a

00:52:32.240 bit of a nap,

00:52:33.300 I'm back to

00:52:34.100 working on

00:52:34.600 suicidal empathy,

00:52:36.360 trying to

00:52:36.940 hopefully get

00:52:37.640 you that book

00:52:38.200 as soon as

00:52:38.860 possible.

00:52:40.140 And hopefully

00:52:41.340 one day we'll

00:52:41.940 look back on

00:52:42.460 all of those

00:52:42.960 ideas as just

00:52:44.540 insanity that is

00:52:45.680 in the rear view

00:52:46.380 mirror.

00:52:47.640 Thank you so

00:52:48.340 much for all of

00:52:48.940 you for tuning

00:52:49.440 out, turning

00:52:50.580 out, and

00:52:51.980 please share

00:52:52.760 this with

00:52:53.420 anybody that

00:52:54.100 you think would

00:52:55.020 benefit from

00:52:55.780 hearing it.

00:52:56.740 Thank you so

00:52:57.240 much, folks, and

00:52:57.880 I'll talk to you

00:52:58.400 soon.

00:52:58.800 Cheers, everybody.
