00:00:00.260 Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad for the Saad Truth. As you can see, I'm wearing my aposomatic
00:00:07.080 hair coloring because one of the ways that you demonstrate your ideological ferocity
00:00:12.620 is by wearing bright colors. I wanted to explain today why I've had a complete turnaround
00:00:21.580 and pursuant to hearing Mark Cuban's eloquent defense of why we should all be voting for
00:00:30.680 Kamala, I decided that I too, even though I'm Canadian, will be voting for Kamala and I thought
00:00:38.420 that the best way to do so is through the very powerful communication medium of hashtags. I will
00:00:45.780 try to also do the kind of fish mouth or whatever it's called, duck mouth, as I show
00:00:54.380 the hashtags. You ready? So these are the reasons why I'm voting for Kamala. What's this one?
00:01:04.860 Jews for Hamas. Say no to Zionism. Islam is peace. Fight whiteness. Just like Kamala, I was
00:01:28.640 a huge supporter of the riots that happened in the name of George Floyd. And so we must
00:01:36.740 fight white supremacy. Too much whiteness in the United States. Borders are racists. No humans,
00:01:52.120 no human is illegal, which you see in every Unitarian church in Ithaca, New York, where I got my PhD at
00:02:03.900 Cornell University. Equality of outcomes. Because remember, if there's ever any differences across
00:02:14.760 individuals, it can't be because human beings come with a heterogeneity of abilities, talents, work
00:02:21.800 drive. Kamala will create equality of outcomes because she is a benevolent leader.
00:02:35.480 Women with penises are women, as we saw during the Olympics, for example. So I support that. These
00:02:42.780 are all, by the way, real positions of Kamala and the Democratic Party. That's why I'm supporting
00:02:47.600 them. Menstrual equity. You have to support that. Because as was explained at a symposium at my
00:02:58.000 university, of Concordia University, in May, where they held a one-day symposium on menstrual equity
00:03:04.280 being a human right, we have to fight for the human right to menstruate.
00:03:12.840 Indigenous science. We know that the scientific method is laden with whiteness. It's, you know,
00:03:20.100 Newton, white. Charles Darwin, white. Laplace, white.
00:03:26.640 Einstein. Well, depending on whether you consider white, Jews white or not, white.
00:03:36.740 Planck, white. Schrodinger, white. Heisenberg, white. So we have to look at other ways of knowing,
00:03:48.180 including indigenous science. This is, by the way, what we're doing at my university at Concordia.
00:03:53.160 We are, as part of the five-year strategic mission of the university, number right up there is to
00:04:01.220 indigenize and decolonize the curriculum and pedagogy. Kamala Harris supports that. The
00:04:07.080 Democrats and progressives support that. Tax unrealized capital gains. That's an important one.
00:04:16.600 So suppose you have a startup and that startup is going to go public or is going public. It's worth
00:04:23.140 on paper a billion dollars, but you don't have a single cent yet. Then you would have to pay money
00:04:30.340 on the fact that you've had this unrealized tax gain. It's a great, great idea. It's going to lead
00:04:36.260 to a lot of entrepreneurial drive. It's definitely not sinister to tax that which you haven't yet gained.
00:04:46.600 So there you go. That's a very important economic policy.
00:04:52.240 Inflation is good. Just like, for example, diabetes, your blood sugar goes up. When your
00:04:59.200 blood sugar goes up, that demonstrates vitality of your body. And so inflation, even though it's only
00:05:07.060 been transitory so far for a couple of years and people can't get enough money to buy food to feed
00:05:15.100 their children, you have to remember that inflation is a sign of a vital economy. So that's good.
00:05:20.940 And one of the ways that you can ensure, as Kamala explained to us, government spending
00:05:27.160 contributes to reducing inflation. Unlike what I had learned when I was doing my MBA that
00:05:34.740 government printing of money and therefore more circulation of money results in inflation.
00:05:41.980 It's the opposite, according to Kamala. So that's why I'm voting for her because she understands the
00:05:46.800 economy. Economic opportunity via socialism. Socialism is a good idea. And then, of course,
00:05:54.400 finally, capitalism is evil. So these are some of the reasons why I'm voting. Hashtags definitely
00:06:03.160 makes the message more powerful. So that's why I support the use of hashtags. Having colored hair
00:06:12.060 makes you more fierce. I hope that you will join me in ensuring that the existential threat known as
00:06:20.560 Orange Himmler does not get a second chance at kicking the can. Because a lot of the folks had said
00:06:29.680 that if he were to become president, he would institute martial law, he would end democracy,
00:06:36.520 you know, he would never leave office. Now, he didn't do those things in the first term. That's
00:06:40.960 because he's diabolical. It's when you give him a second term that he will end democracy.
00:06:46.740 Go Kamala! Hashtag!
