With us right now is Dr. Gad Saad, former professor and global ambassador at Norwood
00:00:05.020
University, author of the best-selling books, Saad Truth, about happiness and secrets for
00:00:09.840
leading the good life, the parasitic mind, how infectious ideas are killing common sense.
00:00:16.940
Gad, welcome back. Oh, great to be with you. It's not former professor. I'm a visiting professor
00:00:23.440
now there, but thank you. I'm great to be back. Okay. First off, your reaction to Justin Trudeau
00:00:29.360
going. Well, I did X Spaces yesterday where I shared my rather colorful reaction to it. Look,
00:00:38.420
I think he's the biggest degenerate malignant narcissist that certainly Canada has ever
00:00:43.860
had as a prime minister. And I would argue that he might have been the worst of all of the degenerate
00:00:50.000
Western leaders over the past 20, 30 years. So good riddance, except that, frankly, I can't fully
00:00:56.400
celebrate because no matter what happens moving forward, the fact that he was able to be in power
00:01:02.580
for nine years is a stain that we will never erase.
00:01:07.200
Why would people in Canada so slow to realize this? I mean, when he said we're not mankind,
00:01:12.760
we're people kind, when all these pictures, he's condemning everyone being politically correct,
00:01:17.680
all these pictures emerge of him in blackface and Indian dress. I mean, the hypocrisy is everywhere,
00:01:22.640
along with the crackdown on those truckers where he froze their bank accounts, which is unheard of
00:01:27.980
in Western society. Right. So I don't think I've ever mentioned this Arabic saying on your show. So
00:01:35.860
I'll mention it here. There's an expression in Arabic, which when translated into English,
00:01:40.180
you say, getting drunk by smelling the cork of the wine bottle, which basically means you are of weak
00:01:46.620
constituency. You don't have to actually drink the wine bottle to get drunk. You just take a whiff and
00:01:52.080
you're already drunk. I argue that that's what often happens to the electorate. Right. It's too
00:01:58.120
difficult for me to engage my cognitive thinking in deciding what are the policies that I like of a
00:02:03.620
particular politician. I'll just I'll just whiff the cork of Justin Trudeau. He's tall. He's smiley. He's young.
00:02:11.800
He's got good hair. That's good enough for me. I'll vote for him. So it takes a while before people realize
00:02:17.360
that they are succumbing to this kind of affect based thinking. So what what what kind of damage
00:02:24.060
did he did? I heard damaging the currency is basically the the the currency is damaged 40 percent
00:02:30.100
even though inflation is relatively tame. Every every single metric that you can use to measure
00:02:36.440
the health of a society. We've gone backwards. Housing prices are massive. Inflation is massive.
00:02:42.160
Orgiastic and exponential Jew hatred has completely gone out of control in Canada. I mean Canada in
00:02:49.680
general and Montreal my home city is absolutely insane. So there is no metric that you could think
00:02:56.480
of that has led to an improvement as a result of Trudeau coming in. It's grotesque. Do you think it's
00:03:02.360
representative of the of the sobering up of Western society in that we're tired of the political
00:03:07.700
correctness? It's not that Republicans are winning. It's that common sense is winning.
00:03:12.740
I mean yes except that so if you remember Brian in my earlier book The Parasitic Mind I talked how
00:03:19.140
it took about 50 to 100 years for all of these parasitic ideas to originally be spawned on university
00:03:25.300
campus and then they came together over the past 10 20 years to create the lunacy that we have. So yes
00:03:32.180
it's great that Donald Trump is now in power and we can celebrate that but the battle is going to be
00:03:37.440
much longer. It took 50 to 100 years for this nonsense to fully develop. Hopefully it won't
00:03:43.100
take 50 to 100 years to eradicate it but it's not going to end just because Donald Trump ascended to
00:03:49.480
the highest office. So Barry Weiss of the Free Press says what happened in Canadian politics is not
00:03:56.140
happening in a vacuum. It is a symptom of a much broader phenomenon. Call it the great crack up of the
00:04:00.920
old consensus. The consensus is being rejected through the West. Trump won the presidency by building
00:04:06.640
a multi-racial working class coalition that had little affection for that progressive activism
00:04:12.520
who supposedly spoke for them. The leader they say now is Georgia Maloney of Italy. Do you concur?
00:04:22.200
Yes you mean concur with the fact that that the West is rejecting all that stuff? And she's an example of
00:04:28.020
that? She is an example of that. I mean Donald Trump of course is an example of that. Malay in Argentina
00:04:34.500
is an example of that. The El Salvador president who turned El Salvador from a gang-infested place to
00:04:43.580
almost no crime is an example. So people are waking up. The problem is why didn't you wake up 15 or 20
00:04:50.680
years earlier right? Because now we are going to solve the problem but it's going to be a lot bloodier
00:04:56.160
to do so now than 15 years ago. So how do you feel today? We had Mark Zuckerberg on we have Mark
00:05:01.720
Zuckerberg's chief of staff essentially on the couch. His name is Joel Kaplan and he said there's going to
00:05:06.300
be major changes and he sounded like Elon Musk has basically had his hand on his back talking about
00:05:13.280
how they're going to let the platform now be a little bit more free and open. First here's what
00:05:18.740
Zuckerberg put out last night. Cut 37. We're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing
00:05:24.060
mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically,
00:05:30.660
we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X starting in
00:05:36.280
the U.S. So he talked about X and I'll go play some of that too but your thoughts about Zuckerberg
00:05:42.920
essentially trying to say I had an awakening. Look I'm not very impressed. It's better it's always
00:05:49.680
better late than never but for you to do something quote bold once the ecosystem suggests that you
00:05:56.720
should be moving in that direction is hardly the epitome of courage right. The courageous and the
00:06:02.320
bold are the ones who stand up on top of the mountain and do the right thing even if they're
00:06:06.820
going to get blowback. So yes it's great that Zuckerberg is joining the common sense train but
00:06:12.460
it's a little bit too late. So for example I've had many strikes against me on Facebook because I posted
00:06:19.060
a screenshot of death threats that I had received as a Jewish person that was a manifestation of me
00:06:27.360
being anti-Semitic. So this is the kind of nonsense that he should have woken up to many years ago.
00:06:34.260
Right and you think that you know maybe he did maybe he understands it. The other thing Gad is I
00:06:39.780
don't diminish the fact that Joe Biden had the screws on or his people had the screws on him big time.
00:06:46.180
FBI had the screws on him big time and you know the I guess Democrats to a degree never thought
00:06:50.820
they were going to lose power and I think in many ways this is the first time to come up for air
00:06:55.020
along with guilt he might have felt for what he did in 2020. Yeah I mean I agree and also I guess
00:07:01.720
people are emboldened even the the most meek and cowardly folks are emboldened when they see someone
00:07:07.780
like Elon Musk in the way that he carries himself right. I mean that's I mean as you probably know
00:07:12.800
Elon Musk and I know each other well and the more you get to know Elon Musk even on a personal level
00:07:18.460
the more you love him and so maybe Zuckerberg is looking at Elon saying hey I could learn to be
00:07:23.060
courageous and to be a honey badger like Elon so more power to him. All right maybe we'll just stay
00:07:27.940
out of politics all together but we'll see with the advent of AI. Gad you I don't know if you you
00:07:32.620
would be able to detect this but I remember JD Vance coming out and saying the AI the emergence of
00:07:38.700
the AI executives and these new companies is not as liberal as the social media companies that
00:07:44.060
that rose up in Silicon Valley they seem to have a more balanced view of things and speaking of
00:07:49.340
David Sachs who's going to be AI and cryptocurrency czar speaking to the army navy game I get the sense
00:07:56.380
that he is no screaming liberal I mean I think I think that he wants to it's so vital that we have
00:08:02.580
good leadership during this time but I don't sense that he's going to be you know trying to win over
00:08:07.400
Hollywood. Oh I agree look I think I don't know who first coined the term tech bros I think a lot
00:08:14.300
of the tech bros today are all very anti-woke they're not only not woke they're anti-woke many
00:08:21.360
of those folks follow me some of whom I've interacted with and so that gives me great hope because
00:08:26.420
ultimately the people in power will only listen to money so for example academic administrators
00:08:31.880
were very very keen on ignoring my message but if someone like Bill Ackman comes along and says hey
00:08:38.100
you know that hundred million dollar donation that I was going to give you it's going to go away
00:08:42.000
well they're going to listen a lot more to him than they are to me so more power to the tech bros
00:08:47.140
march on. Your thoughts on Trump about to take over in 14 days and you know he's got such a slim
00:08:53.460
margin in the house he's got a few senators to his advantage in the senate your thoughts about what
00:08:59.380
he's up against knowing that it seems like Joe Biden's intent on burning the house down on his
00:09:03.580
way out. I am optimistic in that there is this 18 month window where a lot can be done so I hope that
00:09:12.020
he fully grabs it and does as much as he can because to your point once the midterm elections come around
00:09:18.460
if he loses any of the majority then it'll be much harder to push his agenda so I'm very optimistic
00:09:23.720
but cautiously so. Do you think the rest of the world is more open to him now it seems like
00:09:28.580
they're all coming to visit him before is that a preemptive move or is that is that a salutation?
00:09:35.360
I mean I think that uh they're a lot more uh welcoming to the to the idea of Trump than they
00:09:42.160
were you know in 2016 so it's a bit of kiss the ring phenomenon but it's also the fact that
00:09:48.660
a lot of them thought truly believed that he was going to be orange Himmler when he turned out to be
00:09:53.800
the exact opposite so let's let's keep our fingers crossed. Before I go I want to tap into your
00:09:58.760
Middle East knowledge the U.S. is pausing restrictions on Syria you know trying to uh liking the fact that
00:10:05.000
they kicked out Iran they're in the process I think of throwing the Russians out of their bases
00:10:09.700
but knowing that their roots are in extremism in al-Qaeda al-Nusra your attitude on what our attitude
00:10:16.400
should be with this new Syrian government. Not a good one uh I mean you saw even on in a small
00:10:23.820
micro sense how the the leader was unwilling to shake the hand of I can't remember if it was a
00:10:29.840
French dignitary because you know you're not supposed to shake the hand of uh of a woman uh
00:10:35.760
so I don't hold out much hope for those guys I mean I think he's trying to send the signal that
00:10:40.560
he's a bit more modern more tolerant and I will allow the Christians in Syria to put up the Christmas
00:10:46.280
trees uh as someone who comes from the Middle East uh I can tell you that uh they tolerate you
00:10:52.680
until on one day they decide they won't tolerate you in which case you better put on the running
00:10:57.020
shoes and run real fast because your head is about to be detached from the rest of your body so I would
00:11:01.800
not hold out too much hope for the current Syrian administration. Anecdotally what do what do your
00:11:06.920
people say about the condition of Hezbollah and Hamas right now? But by my people meaning Jewish
00:11:14.420
people? Um well I would say your contacts in the Middle East. Oh I see uh I mean look uh I I think
00:11:21.540
that uh October 7th as as devastatingly tragic as it was allowed Israel to come in and really clean
00:11:30.120
house with Hamas and Hezbollah. The ideology is not going to die but certainly their ability to uh
00:11:36.560
to you know to cause mayhem has certainly been diminished so I would say keep going forward
00:11:42.440
until hopefully every single one of the hostages come home. So I'm optimistic about that because
00:11:48.100
you've awakened the giant. Evidently 34 hostages were their names were submitted some it's not clear
00:11:55.480
exactly if uh the the number is accurate or not but they're submitted of people they would release and
00:12:01.040
of course they want thousands of prisoners in return. Dr. Gadsad thanks so much appreciate your time.
