It's been crazy. 13 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:08,520 So you've been busy. 14 00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:15,240 super busy, super busy. The job is getting mandated proof.

Well, the 23 00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:44,790 fun thing about that is, of course, it's Southwest Airlines 24 00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:48,540 who have pilots walking off the job. We're calling in sick. 25 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:55,290 They're headquartered in Texas. Okay. Yeah. So and the last I 26 00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:57,660 heard their CEO had said, All right, everyone's got to get 27 00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,310 vaccinated. Then this morning, that Monday or Tuesday morning, 28 00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:07,500 that mandate came out. And now we'll see. Who knows? Who knows? 29 00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:07,980 It's 30 00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:12,330 you don't know. But I mean, it is what it is. In the meantime. 31 00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:17,880 Yes, we'll ratchet it up. Let's wind this up. Find out what the 32 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,840 topic will be for Moe facts with Adam Curry, Episode Number 68. 33 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,210 Ladies and gentlemen, nobody knows where it will stop except 34 00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,510 for Moe, he knows exactly what's going on the topic will be 35 00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:37,110 critical race theory. A much anticipated topic critical race 36 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:37,710 theory. 37 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,029 When it is when it isn't, do it 38 00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:46,470 justice have a Wikipedia page. It 39 00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:50,520 is some people say it doesn't exist. So not a thing. 40 00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,049 It's not a thing. It doesn't exist at all, even though it has 41 00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:57,659 a Wikipedia page. And as a scholarly thing. 42 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,850 I think is one of these things where people make it what they 43 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:06,750 want it to be. So picking up off where we left off last time on 44 00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:09,780 the binary thinking tip. This is just like one of the 45 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:13,080 battlegrounds, you know people are fighting Oh, this topic 46 00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:17,100 disappeared. It's big, very big. It's very big. He's right behind 47 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:21,150 the Cuf. And he knows it and in some people's mind, it might 48 00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:24,300 even be bigger. Depending on how you 49 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,379 how you live, it's certainly one of the major topics of the 50 00:03:28,379 --> 00:03:30,809 school board meetings where people are just getting into the 51 00:03:30,809 --> 00:03:34,199 school board's face, you know, so it's it's definitely top of 52 00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:34,709 mind. 53 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:39,629 We definitely that's gonna be an element of it. Um, I guess it's 54 00:03:39,839 --> 00:03:42,239 hard to tell you put your goggles on. Let's go ahead and 55 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:43,259 get into number two. 56 00:03:45,629 --> 00:03:49,109 Republicans are fanning the flames of a new culture war, 57 00:03:49,109 --> 00:03:52,199 claiming the teaching of critical race theory is a threat 58 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:55,709 to our kids and to community relations. But this isn't just 59 00:03:55,709 --> 00:03:58,139 some abstract argument. They're actually pushing through 60 00:03:58,139 --> 00:04:02,369 legislation in state after state as we speak, legislation aimed 61 00:04:02,369 --> 00:04:05,669 at making sure it can't be talked about in schools, which 62 00:04:05,669 --> 00:04:08,669 isn't just dumb because critical race theory isn't taught in 63 00:04:08,669 --> 00:04:11,189 schools to begin with. It's taught to law students in 64 00:04:11,189 --> 00:04:14,159 university, but it's also a complete violation of the First 65 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,579 Amendment from a party that claims to be all about free 66 00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:20,669 speech. Joining me now is Kimberly Crenshaw, executive 67 00:04:20,669 --> 00:04:23,189 director with the African American policy forum. She's 68 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:26,969 also a law professor at Columbia and UCLA host of the podcast 69 00:04:26,969 --> 00:04:30,599 intersectionality matters. She's the one who coined the phrase 70 00:04:30,599 --> 00:04:34,829 intersectionality and also co founded critical race theory. 71 00:04:34,829 --> 00:04:37,289 Kimberly, it's a pleasure to have you on the show. Your 72 00:04:37,289 --> 00:04:41,039 African American policy forum is campaigning against these 73 00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:44,699 republican censorship campaigns. So I want to start by asking you 74 00:04:44,699 --> 00:04:48,689 to please explain what critical race theory actually is because 75 00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:52,679 Tucker Carlson and Mark Greene clearly don't have a clue. You 76 00:04:52,679 --> 00:04:56,129 do. You helped found it. define it for our viewers, please. In 77 00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:57,359 the simplest of terms, 78 00:04:58,230 --> 00:05:00,960 well the simplest of terms and thanks for The opportunity 79 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,400 critical race theory is the study of law and how it has been 80 00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:10,140 part of the infrastructure, from slavery to emancipation to 81 00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:14,430 segregation to today upon which racial inequalities have been 82 00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:15,660 based. 83 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:21,300 Oh, that's interesting. Okay, so the the founder of critical race 84 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:22,950 theory here, Kimberly, what's her name? 85 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,340 Kimberly, cream Crenshaw 86 00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:32,010 sheets. I did not know that this was that it had to do with law 87 00:05:32,010 --> 00:05:34,410 which reminds me of the book, The color of law. 88 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,580 That's where it was birthed out of that, but it was birthed out 89 00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:42,630 of university. Yeah. And as you heard, Maddie say that's Mehdi 90 00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:49,140 Hassan. From msnbc. He says that it's only taught in college 91 00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:52,140 courses. Me I mean, universities. It's like, hold 92 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:55,650 on. Wait, that's not No, no, that's 93 00:05:55,650 --> 00:05:58,170 definitely not all we're hearing it seems to be middle school and 94 00:05:58,170 --> 00:06:00,180 high schools and even lower grade 95 00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:03,780 Elementary. Yeah, elementary schools as well. Um, but this is 96 00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:07,110 the thing. It's like, Oh, no, that that's, it's been this 97 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:11,160 moving target. I had to lay this out front. I think what happened 98 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,810 was that 1619 was supposed to be their original vehicle that they 99 00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:20,880 use to push this narrative 100 00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:25,380 and so he got some crazy rails. Yeah, sure did. 101 00:06:26,249 --> 00:06:30,119 So it's like, Okay, what can we dig in you know, and pick up 102 00:06:30,119 --> 00:06:37,769 critical race theory which in itself, is a is a offensive 103 00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:41,939 term. And let me let me explain that when just the words all put 104 00:06:41,939 --> 00:06:46,619 together, when you hear critical that's alarming and it's urgent 105 00:06:46,619 --> 00:06:49,979 attention. Urgent, right? And then you throw racing anything 106 00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:56,159 yeah, and we we do have the race I saw that I picked up but we'll 107 00:06:56,159 --> 00:07:01,199 get to that later. We have already had it ready. racing 108 00:07:02,339 --> 00:07:04,109 thoughts from racing there? It's just 109 00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:06,930 it's just from time to time you just got to do that just I think 110 00:07:07,230 --> 00:07:11,190 it's like in normal family life. It's like Could you please take 111 00:07:11,190 --> 00:07:13,290 out the garbage and just keep doing that? 112 00:07:15,450 --> 00:07:19,230 And then you have theory which theory just leaves everything up 113 00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:21,570 to debate? Yes. Like not it's not Chronicles 114 00:07:21,570 --> 00:07:23,520 about race, but it gets a theory. 115 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:29,310 So when you throw all these things together, it gives people 116 00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:33,390 alarm just from the beginning of it and the way it's being 117 00:07:33,390 --> 00:07:37,290 pushed. And the title of this video I'm pulling this from off. 118 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,430 YouTube is called the truth about critical race theory co 119 00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:45,600 founder breaks down GOP gaslighting a hell of a title. 120 00:07:45,660 --> 00:07:52,650 Yeah. So we should be familiar with Miss Kimberly Crenshaw from 121 00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:57,360 intersectionality. This is a throwback clip from show 18 she 122 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880 wrote a hero where we covered the topic. 123 00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:04,260 intersectionality is just a metaphor for understanding the 124 00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:07,800 ways that multiple forms of inequality or disadvantage 125 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,810 sometimes compound themselves. And they create obstacles that 126 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,470 often are not understood within conventional ways of thinking 127 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:22,050 about anti racism or feminism or whatever social justice advocacy 128 00:08:22,050 --> 00:08:25,080 structures we have. intersectionality isn't so much 129 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,470 a grand theory it's a prison for understanding certain kinds of 130 00:08:28,470 --> 00:08:29,220 problems. 131 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,110 Okay, so that did not explain that did not help understand 132 00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:35,280 intersectionality 133 00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:39,600 and we had the same outcome was your 18 is the word salad. It 134 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,930 makes no sense. It's not really a theory and now they're doing 135 00:08:42,930 --> 00:08:44,700 the same thing with the critical. 136 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,220 Let me ask you a question. So you said you know they the 1619 137 00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:55,050 project, I got submarine and then they decided to go full on 138 00:08:55,050 --> 00:08:57,870 critical race theory. Who do you think they is in this case? 139 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,740 Ah, that's a good question. Well, you you have the Black 140 00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:09,690 Lives Matter ain't crew. Yeah. The Democrats which is our 141 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:14,640 liberals have you want to say, which is using this as a major 142 00:09:15,690 --> 00:09:19,980 for lack of better word taunting is using You know, this keep 143 00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:21,930 this popcorn to 2022? 144 00:09:22,289 --> 00:09:26,939 Yeah, well, but but from an academic perspective, you know, 145 00:09:27,569 --> 00:09:32,459 it's not it's not the case that you know, some Democrats as well 146 00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:35,159 time to ratchet up critical race theory. That's not how you get 147 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:37,829 stuff into school. This got to be a lot more. It's got to be 148 00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,669 structural. You know, it's got to be it's got to be a part of 149 00:09:41,669 --> 00:09:45,659 the curriculum. I mean, that's which I guess means that it's 150 00:09:45,659 --> 00:09:48,569 just really really nastily corrupt all the way through. 151 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,890 That's that's the point is it's a one of those things that can 152 00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:57,330 create a binary argument, and it works politically. It works 153 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,480 through social social engineering. It Works you're 154 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,700 seeing a lot of ways in these kind of things make occur 155 00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:10,110 organic first. Notice in a while as my my wife that critical race 156 00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:13,410 theory, yeah, let's push that. Or since we already had Kimberly 157 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,070 Crenshaw pushing the intersectionality it's just a 158 00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:19,890 natural Hey, I got this critical race theory I'll show 159 00:10:21,510 --> 00:10:24,330 you grab that for me. I've got some CRT over there. 160 00:10:25,169 --> 00:10:27,389 What because the thing is this thing was created back in the 161 00:10:27,389 --> 00:10:30,629 80s. So it's like, it's nothing new. I mean, it's very, it's 162 00:10:30,629 --> 00:10:35,519 very, um, it's been around in the law circles for a while now. 163 00:10:37,979 --> 00:10:40,769 Yeah, so um, well, hopefully 164 00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:43,500 we'll we'll come to understand what that means. How it's been 165 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:47,550 around the law circles. So I guess this is where we find out 166 00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:52,890 that. I mean, I don't know I let it unfold Mo. I'm Ramallah. 167 00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:57,000 We go into the co founder. So we're gonna let her explain this 168 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,650 to us like we're idiots. What it is, what it isn't, and what it's 169 00:11:01,650 --> 00:11:04,140 being used for. So let's go ahead and get into number four. 170 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:08,700 It's it's basically an effort to think about, we have had 171 00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:12,780 commitments to equality since the 14th. amendment, yet our 172 00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:17,850 reach has not realized itself in in real equality. So we're 173 00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:22,560 basically just asking questions, and looking at the way that law 174 00:11:22,650 --> 00:11:27,690 has been a conduit for racial inequality, and therefore what 175 00:11:27,690 --> 00:11:32,460 we need to do about law in order to bring us closer to the dreams 176 00:11:32,460 --> 00:11:36,120 that we have as a society. But let me be clear, this is not 177 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,630 about critical race theory. Ted Cruz knows what critical race 178 00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:43,350 theory is, and isn't the people who are trying to create this 179 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:46,800 hysteria around critical race theory know what critical race 180 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,630 theory is, or isn't what this is, is backlash politics, coming 181 00:11:51,630 --> 00:11:54,900 precisely at a moment where finally racial justice has 182 00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:59,160 become a majority Aryan interest on the part of Americans from 183 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,940 all races and all classes. So this is a way of pushing back 184 00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:05,970 against that, without saying that we're for racism, they can 185 00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:08,040 say we're against critical race theory, 186 00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:12,420 payments. This this is the founder of critical race theory. 187 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:19,260 Yes. And she's, she's name checking Ted Cruz on I mean, so 188 00:12:19,290 --> 00:12:21,960 so she's just a political operative. She's full of crap. 189 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,280 She's no idealist. 190 00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:27,630 Exactly. She's She's actually working for an organization. You 191 00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:32,340 know. I thought I had it here. But I don't. But yeah, she's 192 00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:35,040 working in a political capacity and a professor, Will these 193 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,450 professors like moonlight? 194 00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:42,300 Yeah, that's true. That's true. It's just so blatantly obvious. 195 00:12:42,690 --> 00:12:44,610 You know, when you when you do when you're at that level, 196 00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:48,510 calling out Ted Cruz, it's like, then you are not looking at a 197 00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:50,880 big picture of stuff. So you're doing some melt? 198 00:12:51,029 --> 00:12:54,509 If I'm not mistaken, she This was created at Harvard. Right? 199 00:12:54,509 --> 00:12:58,829 And I think Ted Cruz is a law graduate from Harvard. It's not 200 00:12:58,829 --> 00:12:59,579 think she's saying, 201 00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:03,029 point. Oh, okay. Oh, no, 202 00:13:03,029 --> 00:13:05,489 he knows you still sound like he should know. 203 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,540 Right? But what but critical race theory and the law and what 204 00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:12,420 Ted Cruz may or may not know, doesn't sound like what these 205 00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:14,910 parents are talking about at the school board meetings. 206 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,290 doesn't sound very similar to Black Lives Matter. Aha, when 207 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:23,280 you say Black Lives Matter is ABC, even people like no, no, 208 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:23,730 no. 209 00:13:25,019 --> 00:13:26,609 This Yeah. 210 00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:34,290 So it's these things that, um, can be used as a wedge for 211 00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:40,350 political gain for social, like I said, social social change. As 212 00:13:40,350 --> 00:13:42,780 you say, she said that, you know, race is front and center 213 00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:46,410 now. So they kind of got to seize on it. This is at Unity 214 00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:46,830 healing. 215 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,550 I feel so good about it. Yeah. 216 00:13:50,909 --> 00:13:55,079 Come on in and use their force in unity and healing. So let's 217 00:13:55,079 --> 00:13:56,579 go ahead and get into part three. 218 00:13:56,970 --> 00:14:00,060 Yes, well said. And you mentioned Ted Cruz, like you and 219 00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:03,300 alumnus of Harvard Law School, he compared critical race theory 220 00:14:03,330 --> 00:14:07,230 to the KKK. What is your response to that to Senator Cruz 221 00:14:07,230 --> 00:14:08,790 on that specific comparison? 222 00:14:09,210 --> 00:14:12,150 Well, you know, it would be laughable if it weren't so 223 00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:16,590 dangerous. And if it weren't so familiar, this is a mob 224 00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:20,340 mentality trying to willie horton eyes, racial justice. And 225 00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:24,660 we've seen it before we saw it right after the end of the Civil 226 00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:30,180 War, when the idea that racial equality was anti white racism 227 00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:33,810 was articulated by the president of United States, President 228 00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:37,440 Johnson who vetoed our civil rights, saying that it was 229 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,070 reverse discrimination. It took away from white people and gave 230 00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:44,280 to black people. But that wasn't the last time we saw it. We saw 231 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,940 it during the civil rights movement when many white people 232 00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:52,710 said equality being forced to serve you violates my civil 233 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:59,640 rights. So the idea that anti racism is anti White is tried 234 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,980 and true. The playbook move. It used to be part of the Neo 235 00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:08,610 nationalist, right? It's now moved to the center of the 236 00:15:08,610 --> 00:15:12,780 Republican Party on the heels of this so called hysteria around 237 00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:13,890 critical race theory. 238 00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:19,410 Wow, this is this woman is truly disappointing me. I was ready to 239 00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:24,000 really hear something really intelligent. something great 240 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,330 about some academic thing I could look into this is just an 241 00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:28,200 operative 242 00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:33,660 as a tool for hysteria. She said, hysteria twice. She did. 243 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,280 She said it twice. And that's what is causing on both sides. 244 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,870 Because in the minds of people that want to believe it's a good 245 00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:46,380 thing, it's like how do you not want to, you know, heal racism? 246 00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:49,170 Like, same thing with how do you not want to take the vaccine? 247 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,840 You know, how do you not want to do your part? Or how do you not 248 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,250 want to help? Yeah, back in the back, 249 00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:55,200 there's a binary that we've been talking about. 250 00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,529 Right? And on the other side, like, do you know what critical 251 00:15:58,529 --> 00:16:02,459 race theory is? And who's pushing it? Um, where it's 252 00:16:02,459 --> 00:16:07,109 coming from out of Harvard? And my frustration is that if it's 253 00:16:07,109 --> 00:16:11,129 about law, and how law is not being used or being misused, 254 00:16:11,579 --> 00:16:13,769 these are the kind of people that were supposed to look to 255 00:16:13,769 --> 00:16:19,799 miss Crenshaw, Crenshaw, that you're supposed to be fighting 256 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:23,759 the good legal fight, not pontificating about theories, 257 00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,369 you know, that don't mean a hill of beans. We should be actually 258 00:16:26,369 --> 00:16:27,479 getting change happen 259 00:16:27,510 --> 00:16:30,450 and then answers and then she brings up Willie Horton. I mean, 260 00:16:30,450 --> 00:16:32,670 is that even a relevant name anymore? 261 00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:35,460 Does that still have no clue who that was? I didn't have time. 262 00:16:35,490 --> 00:16:39,810 Really? Oh, that's interesting. Oh, who willie horton means? 263 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,460 Yeah, yes. What else? Yeah, Willie Horton. It's like a it's 264 00:16:44,460 --> 00:16:49,860 like a thing. Now his word was for a while. This was a guy who 265 00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:54,960 was convicted black guy serving a life sentence for murder. And 266 00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:58,470 oh, okay. Okay, now, they let him out right there on the on a 267 00:16:58,470 --> 00:17:02,310 furlough or get out hang out at the weekend or something. And he 268 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:06,900 didn't come back. He committed armed robbery. Think rape. 269 00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:09,420 Is that in Texas? That was in Texas. No, 270 00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:14,370 no, hold on. Let me take a look. Or Florida. Maryland, Maryland. 271 00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:19,740 Okay. Wait a minute. He was Yeah, Maryland. But he was he 272 00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:23,340 was when he was the beneficiary of a Massachusetts furlough 273 00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:25,980 program. So he might have been in Massachusetts. 274 00:17:26,909 --> 00:17:29,399 Totally got by me. Well, it was 275 00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:36,360 this this was a while ago. This was in the 80s 276 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,760 Okay, well, like Mike said she's she's from the 80s so I mean, 277 00:17:41,790 --> 00:17:47,880 like I'm exactly not saying that I'm the best but I just see her 278 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,110 very Miss from ATC a 279 00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:52,140 well, exactly. And it's like okay, not very relevant, but I 280 00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:52,710 caught it. 281 00:17:53,459 --> 00:17:56,759 Okay, so well now this is why I'm gonna have to lean on you it 282 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:01,889 because hysteria. You've been doing coverage of this topic. I 283 00:18:02,339 --> 00:18:05,519 think the gentleman's name is you're gonna help me with that. 284 00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:06,119 Yeah. 285 00:18:06,810 --> 00:18:12,030 Mateus. Does Smith. Okay, is that Dutch? He's Belgian 286 00:18:12,030 --> 00:18:15,540 actually which, which, and that's the Flemish side. So 287 00:18:15,540 --> 00:18:18,660 that's very close to Dutch. And we can understand. It's like 288 00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:21,870 American English and British English. 289 00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:27,630 Got it? Got it. So yeah, keep following these clips and 290 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,380 talking about free floating anxiety. And I think critical 291 00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:34,440 race theory definitely falls under one of these triggers for 292 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,190 that so you can give your spiel on it and we'll get right into 293 00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:38,640 the clip. 294 00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:41,580 Yeah, I'll just I'll just give a little background on Mateus De 295 00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:46,380 Smet. He's a professor in psychology from Finn's 296 00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:50,310 University in Belgium he has a another degree in statistics. 297 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:57,420 hairball, don't worry about hairball and that's how he 298 00:18:57,420 --> 00:19:00,750 actually started becoming very interested in what was going on 299 00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:04,560 because he saw very quickly as a statistician having a master's 300 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,410 degree in that, that the numbers and the graphs that they were 301 00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:13,140 showing at the beginning of the the corona Rona crisis that the 302 00:19:13,170 --> 00:19:15,930 they were full of crap, and they were making some very huge 303 00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:19,500 assumptions and mistakes. And it took him by his own admission 304 00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:22,410 about six months until he figured out that Wait a minute, 305 00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:25,380 I know what's going on here we are in a state of what he calls 306 00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:31,530 mass formation and you can use the word formation as for a 307 00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:35,310 hysteria and he ends so the final thing I'll say so I don't 308 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:40,170 spoil any of the clips is that this state is a hypnotic state. 309 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,080 It can be done by professionals in this case it was done by a 310 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,130 number of factors can be done by professionals to a degree that 311 00:19:47,130 --> 00:19:50,460 this is often used in surgical settings and people can be 312 00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:53,910 hypnotized be in the same state that we're going to hear many 313 00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:56,760 people are and you can even cut them and they won't even feel it 314 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,970 won't even know it. So it's a serious hypnotic condition. 315 00:20:00,539 --> 00:20:02,729 So you say under a spell? Oh, yeah. 316 00:20:03,479 --> 00:20:06,299 Totally under a spell? Yes, sir, you spell. 317 00:20:06,810 --> 00:20:09,300 Before you start this next clip, I'll just like make make the 318 00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:13,080 point that Beyonce had a very famous song called information. 319 00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:20,250 Ah, right, right, right, right? Well, it well, in the context of 320 00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:23,850 mass formation, it means the same thing, you know, we're all 321 00:20:23,850 --> 00:20:27,330 standing in line, we're all we're all, we're all together 322 00:20:27,330 --> 00:20:30,870 doing the same thing where we've, we've, we've fallen into 323 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:31,590 the ranks, 324 00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:36,030 I guess we can go and get into number six. free floating 325 00:20:36,030 --> 00:20:40,320 anxiety is the most painful psychological phenomena someone 326 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,860 can experience. So it's extremely painful, that leads up 327 00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:47,580 to panic attacks to all kinds of extremely painful psychological 328 00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:51,810 experiences. So what people want in the situation is something to 329 00:20:51,810 --> 00:20:55,710 connect their anxiety to, they are looking for an explanation 330 00:20:55,710 --> 00:21:00,660 for the anxiety. And now, if this free floating anxiety is 331 00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:05,970 highly present in a population, and the media provide the 332 00:21:05,970 --> 00:21:12,690 narrative, which indicates an object of anxiety, and at the 333 00:21:12,690 --> 00:21:17,430 same time, describe a strategy to deal with this object of 334 00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:24,540 anxiety, then all the anxiety connects to this object. And 335 00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:29,550 people are willing to follow the strategy to deal with this 336 00:21:29,550 --> 00:21:34,440 object, no matter what the cost is, that is what happens in the 337 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,820 beginning of mass formation. Then, in a second step, people 338 00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:43,440 start a collective and heroic battle with this object of 339 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,960 anxiety. And then that way, a new kind of social bond emerges 340 00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:53,910 and a new and a new kind of sensemaking. Suddenly, life is 341 00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:58,140 all directed at battling the object of anxiety. And in this 342 00:21:58,140 --> 00:22:02,130 way, establishing a new connection with other people 343 00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:04,350 is one of my favorite clips. 344 00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:11,400 You have the object of anxiety being race. And you have the 345 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,470 solution being critical race theory. 346 00:22:13,979 --> 00:22:17,549 Yes. And how about the free floating anxiety? Which because 347 00:22:17,549 --> 00:22:20,729 that I think and and the beauty of critical race theory and 348 00:22:20,729 --> 00:22:24,089 people losing their shit over it? is I think they're also 349 00:22:24,089 --> 00:22:26,729 under some form of spell and mass formation. 350 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,410 combos nice yeah, I mean, that's that's the it's even 351 00:22:31,410 --> 00:22:34,650 information. You can have this back and forth dance, I would 352 00:22:34,650 --> 00:22:38,550 think, you know, saying like, you have two sizes fixated on 353 00:22:39,330 --> 00:22:43,710 the same object, can some people say, Well, this secure racism, 354 00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:45,780 why don't you want to do it? You know, that kind of thing? And 355 00:22:45,780 --> 00:22:49,860 it's like, well, do you have the other side, it's, well, I'm 356 00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:52,830 gonna push back against this naturally, just because just 357 00:22:52,830 --> 00:22:57,780 because Assad is pushing for it. So you brought up the point of 358 00:22:58,050 --> 00:23:02,970 using statistics to manipulate people. So Maddie is gonna do a 359 00:23:02,970 --> 00:23:07,110 very fascinating trick with these numbers that he rose out 360 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:10,290 from the economist. So let's go ahead and listen to him. But 361 00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:13,530 then I have a sub clip of just him stating the numbers once 362 00:23:13,530 --> 00:23:13,890 again. 363 00:23:15,030 --> 00:23:18,840 And history indeed it is, you with nearly a dozen books on 364 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,600 race issues, including one literally called critical race 365 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,020 theory, I want to put it in the mail to Ted Cruz's office. 366 00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:28,020 There's no holding out this week from the economist, which found 367 00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:31,260 only 26% of Americans say they've heard a lot about 368 00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,630 critical race theory with an additional 38% saying they've 369 00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:37,350 heard a little of those a little over half say they have a good 370 00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:39,720 idea of what critical race theory is, or they think they 371 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,020 do, and the majority view it unfavorably. If you take a look 372 00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:45,000 at the number of mentions, the term critical race theory is 373 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,540 getting over on Fox News. It's gone through the roof in recent 374 00:23:48,540 --> 00:23:52,350 months. How much does that worry you? How much does that tell you 375 00:23:52,530 --> 00:23:55,830 that this country is not in a good place, especially on the 376 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:56,160 right 377 00:23:57,270 --> 00:24:01,260 to interrupt. I am so tired of people with British accents 378 00:24:01,260 --> 00:24:03,210 telling Americans that we suck. 379 00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:07,350 It's quite common now. 380 00:24:07,410 --> 00:24:08,940 f offline a, 381 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,720 you know, I used to wonder a lot about how, during the end of 382 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,100 reconstruction, people of color and people of goodwill 383 00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:23,880 understood what was happening. Did they know that African 384 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,850 Americans were going to be completely disenfranchised and 385 00:24:26,850 --> 00:24:30,450 not be able to vote for seven decades? Were they aware that 386 00:24:30,450 --> 00:24:34,110 violence was going to take hold in capitals throughout the south 387 00:24:34,110 --> 00:24:39,390 that they were going to be who's did the media participate in it? 388 00:24:39,390 --> 00:24:43,290 Were they believing some of the lies or failing to ask the 389 00:24:43,290 --> 00:24:48,030 questions failing to consider the source and this moment makes 390 00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:52,890 me get a sense of what what it must have been like lies being 391 00:24:52,890 --> 00:24:57,570 told people believing and people of goodwill being confused and 392 00:24:57,570 --> 00:24:59,940 not knowing what to do or what to make of it. 393 00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:04,020 She's following the template and proud of it. 394 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:09,720 You don't know it may you're confused. Yeah, if you don't 395 00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:13,260 email. And naturally, if you're confused, you just you haven't 396 00:25:13,260 --> 00:25:16,500 been taught yet. And we have to teach you. And once you once 397 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,170 you're taught, then you understand. It's kind of like 398 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,530 one of those things. But did you hear the numbers he wrote out 399 00:25:22,530 --> 00:25:24,120 and didn't make any sense to you? 400 00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:27,930 Well, the I was distracted when he rolled out the numbers by 401 00:25:27,930 --> 00:25:31,020 saying they were from the economist and the economist, 402 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,270 since ever since they got their new editor as been just one big 403 00:25:36,270 --> 00:25:39,420 woke heap a garbage as far as I'm concerned. So I can't I did 404 00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:41,460 not really hear the numbers. 405 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,470 And by design, you didn't, because I took just the number 406 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:48,780 has rolled out of the numbers, and I put it in this little 407 00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:53,430 slump sub clip, and we can even play it like two three times to 408 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:56,340 listen to the actual number that he's referring to. 409 00:25:56,550 --> 00:25:59,190 There's new polling out this week from the economist, which 410 00:25:59,190 --> 00:26:02,670 found only 26% of Americans say they've heard a lot about 411 00:26:02,670 --> 00:26:04,440 critical race theory with an additional 38. 412 00:26:04,650 --> 00:26:06,750 A lot, a lot only when he 413 00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:14,400 percent has only heard a lot about that move. About 20.6% 414 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:14,970 right now, okay. 415 00:26:14,999 --> 00:26:18,719 Yeah. Okay. 26% is heard a lot. Okay. All right. say 416 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,790 they've heard a lot about critical race theory with an 417 00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:23,340 additional 38% saying they've heard a little 418 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:28,260 Oh, wait, wait, whoa, whoa. So let's add those two numbers up. 419 00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:30,780 Okay. We're well over 50%. 420 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,410 Yep. have heard something. Yes. Okay. 421 00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:37,710 All those a little over half say they have a good idea of what 422 00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:38,820 critical race theory is. 423 00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:39,780 Start. 424 00:26:39,870 --> 00:26:42,960 Okay. That's those 54 Yeah. 425 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,940 They say they have a good idea what critical race theory is, 426 00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:53,850 how can you Okay, now, um, is that 54%? Or the 38? Or the 26? 427 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,730 Because he said, though, I think the 38 Okay, so now we're down 428 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,820 half of 38. Have a good idea. So that's what 19% roughly 20 say 429 00:27:05,820 --> 00:27:09,570 20 rounded up. Okay, now, we talked about 20% of people. 430 00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:15,060 Yeah. Okay. Now I'm just saying he's doing a subset of a subset 431 00:27:15,060 --> 00:27:16,230 of a subset, of course. 432 00:27:17,790 --> 00:27:20,760 Great critical race theory is what they think they do. And the 433 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,710 majority view it unfavorably. 434 00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:27,840 Okay, now the majority of the 54% of the 38%. 435 00:27:28,770 --> 00:27:32,610 Yeah, I should actually look at those numbers. I don't know if 436 00:27:32,610 --> 00:27:34,290 he's explaining it, right. But it's 437 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:38,910 what I'm saying is that this the way he's delivering these 438 00:27:38,910 --> 00:27:45,000 numbers out, as she's saying 38%. And now those 45 mean, 54% 439 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,250 have a good idea. And half of those of that 45. Excuse me, 440 00:27:50,370 --> 00:27:56,370 half of the majority of that 54% of the 38%. It's like we Yeah, 441 00:27:56,370 --> 00:27:59,130 you can say this. more confusing. 442 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,100 He could have just said homina homina homina. And it wouldn't 443 00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:04,830 have mattered if people didn't get it when he said it like 444 00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:06,510 this, and they won't get it anything else he said 445 00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:11,910 who fully in context in what he saw, he surmises from his data. 446 00:28:12,270 --> 00:28:12,690 There's new 447 00:28:12,690 --> 00:28:16,260 polling out this week from the economist, which found only 26% 448 00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:19,050 of Americans say they've heard a lot about critical race theory 449 00:28:19,050 --> 00:28:22,620 with an additional 38% saying they've heard a little of those 450 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,440 a little over half say they have a good idea of what critical 451 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,560 race theory is, or they think they do and the majority view it 452 00:28:28,590 --> 00:28:29,520 unfavorably. 453 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,970 Yeah, it's, I think, I think the whole point is blahdy, blahdy, 454 00:28:35,970 --> 00:28:38,130 blahdy, blahdy, blah, blah, blah, blah. The majority of you 455 00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:41,280 what unfavorably? That was the message the point 456 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,090 that's right. Yeah, wish, what they use these numbers to make 457 00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:48,660 it sound official. Make you Smith's house, make them sound 458 00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:52,590 smart. You will feel subconsciously dumb, because you 459 00:28:52,590 --> 00:28:56,070 couldn't follow that riddle of a word problem, and rightly so. 460 00:28:56,730 --> 00:28:59,700 Um, because it's like, let me break out the pain in the pad 461 00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:03,150 and actually figure out if I want to really understand. If 462 00:29:03,150 --> 00:29:07,410 I'm listening, empathetically, I'm, I'm trying to understand 463 00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:11,160 what he's saying here. But you really ran me into a circle. And 464 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,460 that's by design. Because once again, Eclipse Did you were 465 00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:17,790 presenting our mass hysteria, it talks about both bogus 466 00:29:17,790 --> 00:29:18,510 statistics. 467 00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:21,720 I'm a professor in clinical psychology at against University 468 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,380 and I'm also I also have a master's degree in statistics. 469 00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:32,580 But in this crisis, I've been taking the perspective of mass 470 00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:37,590 psychology, yes, indeed, in the beginning of the crisis, I have 471 00:29:37,590 --> 00:29:41,910 been studying the statistics and the numbers. And actually, I 472 00:29:41,910 --> 00:29:46,290 noticed that they were often blatantly wrong. And at the same 473 00:29:46,290 --> 00:29:52,200 time, people continue to believe in it and to go along with with 474 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:59,160 with the mainstream narrative, and that was why I started to do 475 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,190 to study it. Rather from from the perspective of mass 476 00:30:02,190 --> 00:30:07,230 psychology and because I knew that mass formation has huge, 477 00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:12,390 huge impact on individuals intelligence and cognitive 478 00:30:12,390 --> 00:30:16,680 functioning. And if I had the feeling that this was the only 479 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,760 thing that could explain why highly intelligent people 480 00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:25,350 started to believe, and, and unattractive and the numbers 481 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,700 that were, in many respects, utterly absurd. 482 00:30:30,090 --> 00:30:33,060 I liked what you're doing here I like the comparison between 483 00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:38,640 lockdowns and mandates and masks and, and hysteria and Black 484 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,750 Lives Matter or critical race theory and hysteria. And just so 485 00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:46,320 you know, I know Mateus he reached out to me we have 486 00:30:46,350 --> 00:30:49,200 contact so if we ever want him to, you know, we can we could 487 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,320 certainly suggest that he might want to do a little analysis of, 488 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:56,610 of critical race theory or BLM or just the hysteria, he might 489 00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:57,480 be interested in that. 490 00:30:58,050 --> 00:31:00,900 I think it's I think that'd be a wonderful idea because what 491 00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:05,820 we're seeing is, as you mentioned before, and kind of 492 00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:10,950 foreshadowing the all these topics are finding their way to 493 00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:15,030 school board meetings and town hall meetings. And they're 494 00:31:15,030 --> 00:31:19,320 having the same kind of response. Um, so now we have to 495 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,400 go to the other side, which being Fox News, and they have 496 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,030 and just in complete transparency, Carol Swain, who 497 00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:31,050 she works for the 1776 Commission, and she's a former 498 00:31:31,050 --> 00:31:34,650 Princeton professor, and what she's gonna do so you have this 499 00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:40,110 16, skinny 1619 from Harvard critical race on one side, and 500 00:31:40,110 --> 00:31:43,650 you have this on the other side, and she's gonna talk about Biden 501 00:31:43,650 --> 00:31:48,660 and him promoting the US non existing CRT CRT group. 502 00:31:48,810 --> 00:31:51,150 Well, yesterday, we reported on the Department of Education's 503 00:31:51,150 --> 00:31:54,750 handbook for reopening schools, including a link to a radical 504 00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:58,230 activist group that wants to send white teachers to anti 505 00:31:58,230 --> 00:32:00,120 racist therapy. Yeah, we saw 506 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,660 that we said, What's that about? Well, now the administration 507 00:32:03,690 --> 00:32:07,260 backtracking, hey, Department of Education spokesperson telling 508 00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:10,380 Fox News quote, the department does not endorse the 509 00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:14,310 recommendations of this group, the abolitionist teaching 510 00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:19,080 network, nor do they reflect our policy positions. It was an 511 00:32:19,140 --> 00:32:23,430 error in a lengthy document to include this citation. 512 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,100 Well, here with her reaction, Dr. Carol Swain, former 513 00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,740 professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt University's and vice 514 00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:32,730 chair of the reconstituted 19, or 1776. commission, good 515 00:32:32,730 --> 00:32:35,850 morning to you. Good morning. Good morning. So Dr. Swain, they 516 00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:38,730 say it's an error. But is it really an error, they had to 517 00:32:38,730 --> 00:32:42,330 intentionally go in and put that link on page nine. So this is a 518 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,410 this is a guidebook to reopening our schools reopening because of 519 00:32:46,410 --> 00:32:49,380 COVID. And on page nine, there's a link, you click on it, and it 520 00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:50,970 directs you to this website. 521 00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:55,140 Well, if it's an era, it's one of many that the Biden 522 00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:59,610 administration has made. Ever since day one, it has aligned 523 00:32:59,610 --> 00:33:04,110 itself with radical groups. It is pushed critical race theory. 524 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,510 And what I believe is happening is that Democrats are realizing 525 00:33:09,540 --> 00:33:11,730 that this is a losing issue for 526 00:33:11,730 --> 00:33:12,210 them. 527 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:17,790 Wait a minute, so they put a link into the apalis abolition 528 00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:20,310 abolitionists teaching network 529 00:33:20,370 --> 00:33:24,660 network, they put it in there, how to reopen schools guidance 530 00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:25,530 for COVID 531 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:30,090 Wow, I'm looking at the I put in the show notes of course.

And then and then. And then just to balance it. White 600 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,350 emotionality? Woohoo. I think I had some of that for breakfast. 601 00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:44,700 And what do you hear? This is the this is that teaching that 602 00:37:44,730 --> 00:37:48,840 that violence administration is pushing. on me. 603 00:37:49,770 --> 00:37:53,190 It's really phenomenal. Because what he said was nothing. It was 604 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:57,450 just a whole bunch of words and descriptions and then throw in 605 00:37:57,450 --> 00:38:03,750 dark spaces and dark folks and white emotionality. 606 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,240 What is one level deeper? Is Well, you thought doing the 607 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:13,590 work. You thought we know doing the work was going to do it? No, 608 00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:16,200 no, no, no, no, you have to go a level. 609 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:19,620 That was just the beginning that was just training wheels, 610 00:38:19,650 --> 00:38:24,390 right, you have become deeper and really relinquish your 611 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:27,900 power. Which if you're giving your power away, that means you 612 00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:30,600 still have power. And that's what these people don't seem to 613 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,990 understand. But what they want to do is not seem like the white 614 00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:39,300 Savior, which has became a trope or I mean, like in these movies, 615 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,270 where like the white teacher comes to the black neighborhood 616 00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:42,450 here 617 00:38:42,450 --> 00:38:45,510 but it's also true. It's a cliche, but it's because it's 618 00:38:45,510 --> 00:38:46,050 true. 619 00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:49,650 That's what that's what they're trying to avoid. They're trying 620 00:38:49,650 --> 00:38:53,010 so they're like I need you think that's real it's kind of like 621 00:38:53,010 --> 00:38:56,760 the thing with like, when people were like going vegan is like 622 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:04,380 you know, that's I have vegan non GMO organic hand raised he 623 00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:09,510 was always one level deeper with with how real it is. But it 624 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:14,190 still you come from a place that you had to give me something I 625 00:39:14,190 --> 00:39:17,310 can't do it for myself. And that's what made it just totally 626 00:39:17,310 --> 00:39:21,840 misses him. It totally it totally misses Coniston is to 627 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,190 say before you go to darks what awaited word dark spaces? I 628 00:39:26,190 --> 00:39:27,000 think i think 629 00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:30,240 i think that's if you go into clubhouse and then you got to 630 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:32,790 hit a special code Your turn left and then you get to the 631 00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:34,290 dark space that 632 00:39:35,010 --> 00:39:38,700 dark people in dark space and you know how I feel about words 633 00:39:38,730 --> 00:39:42,540 yeah well dark First of all, folks I hate folks. Yeah, folks 634 00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:48,630 would exit without x. Men trying to get they tried to get out in 635 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:50,340 the road out on black folk. No. 636 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,770 fo LX Yes. 637 00:39:52,800 --> 00:40:01,500 Now. I don't know if he said folks The Met way of the non 638 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,340 binary non offensive way or if you stay with the tradition give 639 00:40:05,340 --> 00:40:07,920 me more from this guy. Give me more from this guy. Let's go 640 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,780 ahead and get more conspiratorial Sue. 641 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,920 Now you may be thinking to yourself, Kevin, I am an ally. I 642 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,060 believe in social justice for everyone. Wow, that is great. 643 00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:22,590 It's simply not enough today. We cannot just be our eyes. We as 644 00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:28,110 white people must be co conspirators. Okay, allies do 645 00:40:28,110 --> 00:40:31,080 not put anything at stake. And in today's day and age, that is 646 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,490 simply not enough. blackness is not a condition that needs 647 00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:38,760 saved. White people that are trying to go into the classroom 648 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,990 to save black and brown children are totally misguided and have 649 00:40:42,990 --> 00:40:46,830 no idea what these students actually need. The definition of 650 00:40:46,830 --> 00:40:50,310 a co conspirator is to stand in solidarity and confront anti 651 00:40:50,310 --> 00:40:54,300 blackness, a co conspirator functions as a verb and not now, 652 00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:57,990 co conspirators can also be men who understand their privilege 653 00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:02,160 and work to challenge and undo the patriarchy. However, we 654 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,250 cannot have these conversations about racism without talking 655 00:41:05,250 --> 00:41:08,880 about whiteness, the time consuming and serious critique 656 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,000 and reflection of one's socio cultural heritage, which 657 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,450 includes identities related to race, ethnicity, family 658 00:41:15,450 --> 00:41:20,130 structure, sexuality, class, abilities, and religion. Taken 659 00:41:20,130 --> 00:41:24,810 side by side with a critical analysis of racism, sexism, 660 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,860 white supremacy and whiteness is the groundwork of coconspirators 661 00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:33,060 teachers who say they're deeply concerned about social justice 662 00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,090 or that they love all their children or I don't see color 663 00:41:36,270 --> 00:41:40,350 but cannot say the words Black Lives Matter have no real 664 00:41:40,350 --> 00:41:43,680 understanding what social justice is and what it truly 665 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,040 means to love, find joy and appreciate their students in 666 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,970 their students culture. 667 00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:55,530 I'm mo you're the right guy to ask. Yes. Are you do you know of 668 00:41:55,530 --> 00:42:00,900 any dark folks with an axe? Who would hear this guy and go oh 669 00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:02,100 yeah, spot on. 670 00:42:03,390 --> 00:42:06,270 No, I don't know of any because he's 671 00:42:06,570 --> 00:42:10,380 like, Oh yeah, that's what we need. We need white people who 672 00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:12,540 are co conspirators and they're clued in 673 00:42:13,860 --> 00:42:15,690 yes that's that's 674 00:42:17,250 --> 00:42:20,100 who was I was reading it 675 00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:25,860 he's in a deep I mean, 676 00:42:26,010 --> 00:42:29,040 it's like it's like he's he got he feels he got invited to the 677 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,630 cookout and he can and he's a PE he knows what to say now I don't 678 00:42:33,630 --> 00:42:35,370 know it's very uncomfortable I 679 00:42:35,370 --> 00:42:40,440 study and in like, he just verbatim spills out. Whatever 680 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:47,430 these this network is teaching in this is this is their ideal 681 00:42:47,460 --> 00:42:51,600 product that they want to have on the backside of this, which 682 00:42:51,660 --> 00:42:56,400 for me, personally, and I mean, if there may be other I'm sure 683 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,880 there's others out there like that. It still smacks of you 684 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:04,620 think I am a victim? Yes. Even though Yeah, Max that you're a 685 00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:08,010 white Savior. It's like I acknowledge that my white Savior 686 00:43:08,010 --> 00:43:11,100 and the fact that I acknowledge that it doesn't make me a white 687 00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:16,860 savior now right? Like what it's 688 00:43:17,310 --> 00:43:20,010 like to have a store on their website. I need to see if they 689 00:43:20,010 --> 00:43:24,540 got any cooler hoodies with something stupid on it.

So he 694 00:43:44,460 --> 00:43:47,280 what Kevin needs to realize and I'm speaking from a place I want 695 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,460 to help I know I didn't I didn't call Octavia cook. What I'm 696 00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:55,920 saying is, if you want it to catch somebody in that role, he 697 00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:01,800 would probably you probably even totaled around right? Because he 698 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,770 just doesn't want to be a fit and I get it. And he's probably 699 00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:06,420 been browbeating so bad 700 00:44:06,450 --> 00:44:09,210 What does he do? What What is his vocation?

We're gonna talk about something that I have 720 00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:25,500 been accused of over the last several months. It's been 721 00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:29,790 intense at times it's been hilarious at times, but I feel 722 00:45:29,790 --> 00:45:34,530 like I need to set the record straight. Am I Marxist I've seen 723 00:45:35,010 --> 00:45:39,510 a lot of y'all comments like backed by God them right here do 724 00:45:39,510 --> 00:45:42,540 not fall for their trick. They're pushing a communist 725 00:45:42,570 --> 00:45:49,320 agenda inside this is really funny. So despicable how Marxist 726 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,990 have infiltrated the civil rights movement and turned it 727 00:45:51,990 --> 00:45:55,470 into a monster. She is trying to burn the whole system down 728 00:45:55,590 --> 00:45:58,890 admitted train Marxists and blacklist better co founder 729 00:45:58,890 --> 00:46:02,700 purchase colors send strongly worded letter to Joe Biden and 730 00:46:02,700 --> 00:46:06,780 Kamala Harris, demanding they bow to their black liberation 731 00:46:06,780 --> 00:46:10,680 domestic terror agenda. we warn you this was coming. And now 732 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,570 let's hear the truth. Colors is a Marxist, all right. I mean, 733 00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:20,370 let's, let's just talk about it. Am I a Marxist? I'm a lot of 734 00:46:20,370 --> 00:46:23,700 things. I do believe that Marxism is a philosophy that I 735 00:46:23,700 --> 00:46:27,450 learned really early on in my organizing career. We were 736 00:46:27,450 --> 00:46:31,680 taught to learn about the systems that were criticizing 737 00:46:31,710 --> 00:46:37,800 capitalism. We were taught to understand why they were 738 00:46:37,830 --> 00:46:40,350 philosophies that were criticizing capitalism. 739 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,430 Is she walking back that she said she was a trained Marxist 740 00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:46,410 and proud of But is she walking that back? 741 00:46:46,530 --> 00:46:49,860 No, she's walking in a circle because he went around is read 742 00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:53,310 all the comments, saying basically that she's a self 743 00:46:53,310 --> 00:46:57,510 admitted Marxist, which says yes, well trained Marxist. I 744 00:46:57,510 --> 00:47:00,300 didn't I feel like I need to play the clip. Because we we've 745 00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:02,460 addressed it enough. But then she goes through these 746 00:47:02,460 --> 00:47:04,050 initiatives, the Kamala laugh. 747 00:47:05,010 --> 00:47:08,820 Yeah. Well, and and very inappropriately, yeah. Yeah. 748 00:47:09,210 --> 00:47:11,340 Right. Like, it's like, it's such a joke. How can these 749 00:47:11,340 --> 00:47:17,130 people believe on a Marxist cuz I said, I'm a Marxist. With this 750 00:47:17,130 --> 00:47:22,260 is the mind loop. And then she goes around? Yeah, I am. No, I 751 00:47:22,260 --> 00:47:25,920 shouldn't say I'm a Marxist, which, you know, I believe in 752 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:26,820 Marxism, 753 00:47:26,910 --> 00:47:30,060 I got the 39. I got the 39 second clip before saying. 754 00:47:31,620 --> 00:47:37,920 I think that the criticism is helpful. I also think that it 755 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,930 might I think of a lot of things. The first thing I think, 756 00:47:42,930 --> 00:47:47,100 is that we actually do have an ideological frame, myself. And 757 00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:52,830 Elisa, in particular are trained organizers. We are trained 758 00:47:52,830 --> 00:47:53,730 Marxists. 759 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,400 Okay, I heard that. 760 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,860 But there is a joke. It's like, I don't know how people can 761 00:48:01,860 --> 00:48:06,720 think I'm a Marxist by me just saying it. I don't. We're pretty 762 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:08,460 racist. Have you to hold me to my words, I 763 00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:12,570 don't even know what a Marxist is probably. Right. 764 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,110 But when you say you're attacking capitalism, that makes 765 00:48:16,110 --> 00:48:20,280 my ears perk up, because I don't know about everybody else. But I 766 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,060 enjoy capitalism, when it's in its right form. And of course, 767 00:48:24,060 --> 00:48:27,540 always criticize what we have now as some kind of corporatism 768 00:48:27,540 --> 00:48:32,880 or Yes, in the sense of, the harder I work, the more I make, 769 00:48:32,940 --> 00:48:33,390 you know, 770 00:48:34,650 --> 00:48:37,920 when it works that way, when it works that way, then then it's 771 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,870 true capitalism. But if 772 00:48:39,870 --> 00:48:43,740 you give me what I have now, compared to Marxism, I can't go 773 00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:48,330 that route. Because I know what comes with it. Um, so yeah, so 774 00:48:48,330 --> 00:48:50,490 that's when she lost a lot of people. And that's why she had 775 00:48:50,490 --> 00:48:54,060 to go on her YouTube channel, and address this topic. But I 776 00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:58,080 think poor kV doesn't realize when you use and I say that, 777 00:48:58,110 --> 00:49:01,380 like I said, with empathy now, I don't think he realized when you 778 00:49:01,380 --> 00:49:05,760 say Black Lives Matter, that's a loaded term now gets, it's no 779 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,640 longer it's no longer on Vogue. 780 00:49:09,570 --> 00:49:14,100 Now is that once you attach that were critical race theory. Is 781 00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:18,930 this is toxic is toxic. Yeah. It's very, it's like radioactive 782 00:49:18,930 --> 00:49:22,620 is like, you know, we went for 1619. Black Lives Matter. 783 00:49:22,650 --> 00:49:25,260 We got to get rid of Kevin and Kevin, he's no good. He's got to 784 00:49:25,260 --> 00:49:26,790 go. They screwed it up. 785 00:49:27,450 --> 00:49:30,630 I mean, cabbie is a product of what they've created. I mean, 786 00:49:30,660 --> 00:49:34,740 this is you're looking at what they pointed out what they want 787 00:49:34,740 --> 00:49:37,920 on the backside of the training. So with that said, let's go 788 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,660 ahead and get into the final clip. We can't be. 789 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,150 We cannot have conversations about racism without 790 00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:44,670 conversations about intersectionality. When teachers 791 00:49:44,670 --> 00:49:48,000 shy away from intersectionality, they shy away from ever fully 792 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,670 knowing their students, humanity and the richness of their 793 00:49:50,670 --> 00:49:54,330 identities mattering cannot happen if identities are 794 00:49:54,330 --> 00:49:58,260 isolated and students cannot be their full selves. Fighting 795 00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:01,500 oppression is not just a hack. Hash tag. The real work is 796 00:50:01,500 --> 00:50:06,390 personal, emotional, spiritual, communal. It is explicit with a 797 00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:10,320 deep and intense understanding that loving blackness is an act 798 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,480 of political resistance. And it is a fundamental aspect to 799 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:16,980 teaching. darkling I'd 800 00:50:17,550 --> 00:50:19,860 like to interrupt I just want to, I want to hear what I said 801 00:50:19,860 --> 00:50:20,250 there again 802 00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:24,300 communal, it is explicit with a deep and intense understanding 803 00:50:24,540 --> 00:50:27,270 that loving blackness is an act of political 804 00:50:27,450 --> 00:50:33,630 resistance. Loving blackness is an act of political resist 805 00:50:33,630 --> 00:50:34,680 resistance. 806 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,450 Hmm but what he's starting to clip off with intersectionality 807 00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:42,510 Yes. who coined the term intersectionality is saying 808 00:50:42,510 --> 00:50:45,240 people have this critical race theory that was the Crenshaw 809 00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:49,140 lady exactly, it's the holding of the door here black people 810 00:50:49,140 --> 00:50:52,530 hold the door for critical race theory. And in that we're gonna 811 00:50:52,530 --> 00:50:55,920 teach a whole bunch of intersectionality and if you're 812 00:50:57,420 --> 00:51:02,760 a cisgendered male of the of the dark kind Oh, I've learned 813 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:08,940 a new term. I've learned a new term it's just what we are as 814 00:51:08,940 --> 00:51:10,410 far as I know sis het 815 00:51:11,370 --> 00:51:13,380 brown super straight yeah that's 816 00:51:13,410 --> 00:51:14,070 that's what I mean. 817 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,390 If you wanted to find me I'm super straight 818 00:51:18,780 --> 00:51:23,490 right? So in the in the critical race circles you are sis hat 819 00:51:23,490 --> 00:51:26,610 which is almost like an epithet. It's almost like a slur. 820 00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:29,520 I only got one badge only got my dark badge 821 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:36,390 you know more bad news for you.

Oh right. 828 00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:07,590 from one to the other and that's that's how I was gonna go and 829 00:52:07,590 --> 00:52:10,140 it's like how do you want to attack the patriarchy that's a 830 00:52:10,140 --> 00:52:12,990 no for me you want attack capitalism? That's a no for me 831 00:52:12,990 --> 00:52:17,880 and then you do the sleight of hand from dark dark topics to a 832 00:52:19,140 --> 00:52:22,080 and that's that's very Can you better be careful I'm just 833 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,260 saying I'm just saying this once again for anybody that may be 834 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,460 listening. When you say sharp people don't be like oh, close 835 00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:35,340 the marquee. Yes night yeah. Please do not use that term. 836 00:52:35,340 --> 00:52:40,080 Please. Please I beg you. But now back to the Marxism Well, 837 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:40,200 let 838 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,810 me let me let me play the whole we didn't play the whole kV 839 00:52:42,810 --> 00:52:45,630 closer. Oh, sorry. Yeah, no, I interrupted. So I'm going to 840 00:52:45,630 --> 00:52:48,690 start from the beginning so we can get the full effect of the 841 00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:49,980 full kV effect. 842 00:52:50,010 --> 00:52:52,200 We cannot have conversations about racism without 843 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,690 conversations about intersectionality. When teachers 844 00:52:54,690 --> 00:52:58,020 shy away from intersectionality, they shy away from ever fully 845 00:52:58,020 --> 00:53:00,720 knowing their students, humanity and the richness of their 846 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:04,380 identities mattering cannot happen if identities are 847 00:53:04,380 --> 00:53:08,280 isolated and students cannot be their full selves. Fighting 848 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,550 oppression is not just the hashtag. The real work is 849 00:53:11,550 --> 00:53:16,410 personal, emotional, spiritual, communal. It is explicit with a 850 00:53:16,410 --> 00:53:20,370 deep and intense understanding that loving blackness is an act 851 00:53:20,370 --> 00:53:24,720 of political resistance. And therefore it is a fundamental 852 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:30,210 aspect to teaching dark kids. Only after unpacking and 853 00:53:30,210 --> 00:53:34,230 interrogating whiteness, white teachers, really all teachers 854 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,160 must unpack how whiteness functions in their lives, then 855 00:53:38,490 --> 00:53:41,400 they can stand in solidarity with their students communities 856 00:53:41,460 --> 00:53:46,710 for social change. We're now going to transition to what 857 00:53:46,770 --> 00:53:49,830 social studies teachers like myself can do to become 858 00:53:49,830 --> 00:53:52,950 abolitionists, teachers. And that all starts with pedagogical 859 00:53:53,310 --> 00:53:56,370 pedagogy should work in tandem with students own knowledge of 860 00:53:56,370 --> 00:53:59,700 their community and grassroots organizations to push forward 861 00:53:59,850 --> 00:54:04,080 new ideas for social change, and not to just be a tool to enhance 862 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,490 test scores or grades. pedagogy regardless of its name is 863 00:54:08,490 --> 00:54:11,490 useless without teachers dedicated to challenging 864 00:54:11,490 --> 00:54:14,940 systematic oppression with intersectional social justice 865 00:54:15,810 --> 00:54:18,630 many public and charter schools have centered this idea of 866 00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:21,930 character education and it has replaced civics education 867 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,020 however character education is anti black 868 00:54:26,130 --> 00:54:27,060 oh really 869 00:54:27,330 --> 00:54:30,750 wish that goes into respectability politics? Like 870 00:54:30,750 --> 00:54:33,660 when you when you try to teach people you know West respectable 871 00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:39,510 or not. That's that's completely racist. But the interrogation of 872 00:54:39,510 --> 00:54:43,890 whiteness, like these are these terms. People from the other 873 00:54:43,890 --> 00:54:47,250 side of the binary coin look at it it's like, you want to 874 00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:51,720 interrogate white people? Hmm, yeah, I mean, I wish that has 875 00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:57,450 his own imagery of black spotlight there swinging where 876 00:54:57,450 --> 00:55:03,450 we go in the forest. Yeah. That kind of thoughts. Oh, by the 877 00:55:03,450 --> 00:55:03,660 way, 878 00:55:04,260 --> 00:55:08,040 that this guy How old is he? He can't be older than 2829 879 00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:12,570 kick he doesn't look very old at all. I mean, he's probably fresh 880 00:55:12,570 --> 00:55:14,220 out of college, maybe four or five years. 881 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,480 So this is this is it? This is the social studies. Now, of 882 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,640 course, the problem which I'm recognizing now is that what 883 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:28,530 he's saying and and all these things it is it is not critical 884 00:55:28,530 --> 00:55:33,540 race theory. So when people say critical race when Ted Cruz says 885 00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:37,200 critical race theory Yeah, and everyone who was doing this 886 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,940 gonna say you have no idea what you're talking about this like 887 00:55:38,940 --> 00:55:47,370 critical race theory, because it's not is just evil. Lame is 888 00:55:47,370 --> 00:55:48,390 lame. It's 889 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:53,430 not good. It's not perfect. It's perfect because it's not what 890 00:55:53,430 --> 00:55:56,610 the topic is because we actually say that word and go read the 891 00:55:56,610 --> 00:56:00,480 book. It's a law theory. Yes, but the way they're selling it 892 00:56:01,860 --> 00:56:04,590 to the middle schools and elementary schools and high 893 00:56:04,590 --> 00:56:09,870 schools, as this rethinking of race think saying things 894 00:56:09,870 --> 00:56:13,650 everything through a racist or racial lens, almost a racist, a 895 00:56:13,650 --> 00:56:18,630 racial lens. In this do that it's like you have to admit that 896 00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:21,600 you're racist. Going back to white fragility 897 00:56:21,630 --> 00:56:25,680 gotta start you gotta gotta atone the white man got a tone 898 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:26,550 right off the bat. 899 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,700 Right? Which means not even atonement because we know what 900 00:56:29,700 --> 00:56:32,760 that means as well because you can't force a town man if he's 901 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,780 not a person has to want to atone your mate like if I want 902 00:56:36,780 --> 00:56:37,350 to do this 903 00:56:37,380 --> 00:56:41,970 Oh hold on a second of the white people who I know who are 904 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,440 completely into this mode they really do want to atone they 905 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,690 really do feel the guilt they they in fact do interrogate 906 00:56:51,690 --> 00:56:56,280 themselves on this they do workshops. This we believe he 907 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,920 has a lot of people who are doing that and they're very 908 00:56:59,010 --> 00:57:01,440 nice. I think there's also a lot of people I've heard talk in 909 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,770 social settings when they talk a big game but are they going to 910 00:57:04,770 --> 00:57:09,690 go sign up for the you know the for the course now? That but Oh, 911 00:57:09,690 --> 00:57:12,660 yes. Oh, so important kit? Yeah, me, Sam, 912 00:57:12,660 --> 00:57:15,300 you want to be a real ally. I mean, not an ally, because he 913 00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:17,700 said you need to be a co conspirator. Allah is not 914 00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:20,700 enough. All you people out there with you just doing the talk. 915 00:57:20,850 --> 00:57:23,700 It's time to walk the walk, it's time to put something on the 916 00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:27,330 line can be said it, you have to put something on the line, like 917 00:57:27,330 --> 00:57:30,930 your name on a check. You're saying Yeah, handed out but 918 00:57:30,930 --> 00:57:33,150 that's what they want. And that's the whole point I want. 919 00:57:33,150 --> 00:57:36,000 I want to try and get something out before I forget. Or at least 920 00:57:36,030 --> 00:57:40,770 before it passes. So and I think this is a true scenario because 921 00:57:40,860 --> 00:57:45,480 I used to hang out back in the Austin days with the Obama bots. 922 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,080 And so I you know, and I was accused of very early on years 923 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,880 ago, less 66 and a half years ago by Professor Pennebaker, who 924 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,330 was at one of these dinners and he's a big fan of his work he 925 00:57:57,330 --> 00:58:01,800 does the performative that's his that's his big body of work. And 926 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,020 he and his wife are there well we're just sitting there saying 927 00:58:04,020 --> 00:58:05,910 well you know you have white privilege and I'd never heard of 928 00:58:05,910 --> 00:58:09,990 this. So what are you talking about so obvious to these 929 00:58:09,990 --> 00:58:16,740 people? They they are so racist without knowing it. Here's how I 930 00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:19,380 perceive it so they'll talk these big games always so 931 00:58:19,380 --> 00:58:24,270 important and then there will be a name and it'll be someone you 932 00:58:24,270 --> 00:58:28,050 know it's not going to be kV it'll be you know, either like a 933 00:58:28,050 --> 00:58:32,520 Patrice collars or I can I can actually just go down here let's 934 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,410 see. I can just go to the Apple abolitionists teeth abbis hard 935 00:58:37,410 --> 00:58:41,160 to say for me abolitionists teacher network and just look at 936 00:58:41,190 --> 00:58:48,150 our people. And let's see we have we have let's just grab one 937 00:58:48,780 --> 00:58:53,340 we've got Ashley she her hers. activists and residents so the 938 00:58:53,340 --> 00:58:56,820 way it would go there's dinner parties. I met Ashley she her 939 00:58:56,820 --> 00:59:01,230 hers and she's the actress in residence at the abolition she's 940 00:59:01,230 --> 00:59:06,450 so impressive. She is I mean she is she's just oh my god you have 941 00:59:06,450 --> 00:59:11,280 to meet her that I'm doing my Becky voice and so they will 942 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:17,700 take a person a dark person and they will and they elevate them 943 00:59:17,730 --> 00:59:21,510 and then and it's almost like a worshipping of you know this is 944 00:59:21,540 --> 00:59:25,200 oh my goodness she smells so good. Yes. Oh, we all can learn 945 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:31,350 so much from her. And I've always it's gives me the creeps 946 00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:32,400 when people do that. 947 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,450 I've set a term I don't know if I coined or not, but not call 948 00:59:36,450 --> 00:59:38,580 that conspicuous. Consciousness. 949 00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:42,390 conspicuous. conspicuous consciousness. Okay. 950 00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:46,230 Right. So conspicuous consumption is when you buy 951 00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:50,220 things for people to know that you have money that to know that 952 00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:53,220 you have Well, I'm gonna buy the 953 00:59:53,250 --> 00:59:56,580 yes versus the words virtue signaling in a way of right but 954 00:59:56,610 --> 00:59:57,120 what what 955 00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,170 you're saying is the conspicuous curse on consciousness. is I'm 956 01:00:01,170 --> 01:00:05,670 gonna go find Ashley and put her into my circle. Yeah, that way I 957 01:00:05,670 --> 01:00:08,880 can let other people know and like I said virtue signaling is 958 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,700 one of those terms. And like I said, I don't use those terms 959 01:00:11,700 --> 01:00:15,600 because it is it has it has its own meaning now it's not actual 960 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,300 meaning I agree. Yeah, I agree. Right? So when you say 961 01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:23,220 conspicuous consumption consciousness is your want to be 962 01:00:23,220 --> 01:00:26,790 conscious so people can know that you're conscious you know 963 01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:29,580 of our you're down, you know, for the calls that kind of 964 01:00:29,580 --> 01:00:30,600 thing. So right. 965 01:00:31,380 --> 01:00:37,770 And by the way, my family my whole family is like this. All 966 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:43,350 white, extremely upper class, either political or in 967 01:00:43,530 --> 01:00:52,020 intelligence services. And they're not racist. I know my 968 01:00:52,020 --> 01:00:55,350 family, but it's just insincere. I know, they don't really mean 969 01:00:55,350 --> 01:00:57,030 it is pre emptive. 970 01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:01,050 It's worse than that, right? It's pre it means pre emptive 971 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:08,250 is, excuse me, is Excuse me, is pre emptive in the fact that 972 01:01:08,700 --> 01:01:12,780 before I even that notion, or it can be thought that I'm 973 01:01:13,740 --> 01:01:16,740 right, let's let me let you know right away. Yeah, right. Let 974 01:01:16,740 --> 01:01:19,740 me get the book man on white fragility book laying on the 975 01:01:19,740 --> 01:01:22,770 coffee table. Let me put the Black Lives Matter. Yeah, we're 976 01:01:22,770 --> 01:01:22,890 on. 977 01:01:23,940 --> 01:01:28,410 I was on Megyn Kelly today. And of course, right off the bat I 978 01:01:28,410 --> 01:01:32,190 named check mo facts. You know what I felt like saying like, 979 01:01:32,220 --> 01:01:37,680 No, I have I have a black friend. I have one black friend. 980 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,770 By the way. I laid the black clean white clean on Megyn. 981 01:01:40,770 --> 01:01:42,930 Kelly, she loved it. We were talking about Merkel. 982 01:01:43,350 --> 01:01:45,480 Merkel. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 983 01:01:45,510 --> 01:01:49,080 Yeah, you gotta hear this. It was it was dynamite. It was like 984 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,000 Moe facts all the way you'll love it. 985 01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:55,650 That's the that's the thing, though. is is is it pre emptive? 986 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,700 Or is out of fear? Or is it just out to be true? empathy that you 987 01:01:59,700 --> 01:02:02,520 want to understand somebody? And that's what we do here, right? 988 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:06,600 You come here, seek first to understand then to be under. 989 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,740 And I don't think it's out of empathy to understand people. I 990 01:02:10,740 --> 01:02:17,760 remember my uncle called me one day. And he was, you know, he 991 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,780 was he was an ambassador. And he was, you know, all kinds of, you 992 01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:25,350 know, in Korea. I mean, he's CIA. He's been around, right. So 993 01:02:25,350 --> 01:02:29,160 he's been an interesting situation. And he's, he's way 994 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,520 retired. This is maybe 1015 years ago. He calls me up, said, 995 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,180 Adam, I got a you know, he was working for some think tank, the 996 01:02:36,180 --> 01:02:41,340 Korea Society of assurance of front for something else. And he 997 01:02:41,340 --> 01:02:44,250 was, he's the president of the Korea Society. Did you know 998 01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:47,550 Adam, I'm going to be talking to some inner city youth. And I 999 01:02:47,550 --> 01:02:50,160 really want to be able to connect with them. And I guess 1000 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,100 he was calling me like MTV guy and maybe have some hip hop tips 1001 01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:57,540 for him or something. He says, so you know, should I let them 1002 01:02:57,540 --> 01:03:00,900 know that I for years, I walked around with an Uzi strapped to 1003 01:03:00,900 --> 01:03:04,560 my arm and would that connect with them? I was speechless 1004 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,150 small. I was fucking speechless. 1005 01:03:06,540 --> 01:03:08,700 Only if you held it sideways. Yeah, exactly. 1006 01:03:10,470 --> 01:03:14,100 If you if you can do like gangster like that, that you'll 1007 01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:16,440 connect with otherwise stay away from that. 1008 01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:23,430 That's why we have to do what we do here is to be empathetic. 1009 01:03:23,430 --> 01:03:26,340 Because like all these people mean when they mean Well, yes. 1010 01:03:26,700 --> 01:03:30,840 He doesn't mean you know, but when you go by in airy, it's 1011 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,750 like either Are you giving a barring your option? Or you 1012 01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:39,450 you're a racist? Co conspirator. It's like, okay, yeah. Well, I 1013 01:03:39,450 --> 01:03:43,050 don't want to be a racist, so I had to be a co conspirator. And 1014 01:03:43,290 --> 01:03:44,400 that's why what happened 1015 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,440 to ally what happened to ally Why don't 1016 01:03:47,910 --> 01:03:51,510 cuz you don't have anything on the mind. If you just ally 1017 01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:52,710 you're just talking to Tom. 1018 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,760 I hope you got it. Yeah, you 1019 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,500 gotta give some of that privilege which I don't 1020 01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:03,360 understand how you do that. Let me here's a quarter share of my 1021 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,080 privilege. Yeah, exactly. You want to wear that around I don't 1022 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,950 miss is still walking the walk me still talking to talk. But 1023 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:14,640 it's just I'm willing to if I'm if I'm pushed to it, I'll put 1024 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,520 something on the line. But what shows me is when you hear 1025 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,120 communist and Marxism and the reason why that is, I have a 1026 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:26,850 clip here. It was actually was an ad from msnbc from one, 1027 01:04:26,850 --> 01:04:30,960 Melissa Harris Perry, on who owns kids. 1028 01:04:31,740 --> 01:04:35,610 We have never invested as much in public education as we should 1029 01:04:35,610 --> 01:04:37,920 have. Because we've always had kind of a private notion of 1030 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:42,150 children, your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We 1031 01:04:42,150 --> 01:04:44,790 haven't had a very collective notion of these are our 1032 01:04:44,790 --> 01:04:47,340 children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind 1033 01:04:47,340 --> 01:04:50,880 of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong 1034 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,890 to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole 1035 01:04:52,890 --> 01:04:55,830 communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and 1036 01:04:55,830 --> 01:04:59,100 not just the households, then we start making better investments. 1037 01:05:00,810 --> 01:05:05,160 All your kids belong to us. Yeah. Interesting. 1038 01:05:05,460 --> 01:05:08,520 In NES das that was an old clip that comes 1039 01:05:08,550 --> 01:05:14,190 I miss her. I miss her. She She, although no joy read is even 1040 01:05:14,190 --> 01:05:18,630 more fun but I do miss. Mister she was wrong optics. Oh, no 1041 01:05:18,630 --> 01:05:21,420 kidding. I was with you. Yeah, no, she was definitely and she 1042 01:05:21,420 --> 01:05:23,160 and she was she was 1043 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,590 because they had to go next this big conspicuous consciousness. 1044 01:05:28,590 --> 01:05:30,960 It's like, well, we can't have Melissa Harris Perry out there. 1045 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:38,790 You know, she's awful, fair skinned. Dark person, 1046 01:05:39,390 --> 01:05:42,660 really dark, dark spirit that joy read as. 1047 01:05:42,930 --> 01:05:47,760 Yeah, so that's that's where you see this kind of shift. And it's 1048 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,400 in this bar. It's like I said it's a conscious decision by 1049 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,760 whoever's making the calls. But that's what troubles me. And 1050 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:55,800 that's what troubles a lot of other people when you hear this 1051 01:05:56,010 --> 01:05:59,610 talk of your parents, your kids don't belong to you. We can 1052 01:05:59,610 --> 01:06:03,240 teach your kid Well, we want to there's a heated gubernatorial 1053 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,990 race in Virginia right now. Yes. And it's your backyard. 1054 01:06:06,990 --> 01:06:10,080 And what was there some some scandal the guy said something 1055 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:11,190 or give us a rundown? 1056 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:15,000 Yeah, he's basically saying the same thing that she said that we 1057 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,690 could teach her? Well, it's our job to teach your kids what? On 1058 01:06:18,690 --> 01:06:21,870 what they need to know, not the parents. And it's like a hit ad 1059 01:06:21,870 --> 01:06:25,110 that they're running right? Wrong verbatim. But it's the 1060 01:06:25,110 --> 01:06:29,010 same thing. It's like, we know better than you. Um, 1061 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,690 the scary thing is they mean it. 1062 01:06:31,590 --> 01:06:38,370 Yes. Yes. And and that's why you see what's happening at the 1063 01:06:38,370 --> 01:06:42,330 school board meetings of, I mean, look at California about 1064 01:06:42,330 --> 01:06:45,240 not asleep over and COVID. But if somebody can tell you, your 1065 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:49,200 kids can't come to school unless they have the shot. I mean, like 1066 01:06:49,230 --> 01:06:52,350 where does it stop it now of course, we had immunization and 1067 01:06:52,350 --> 01:06:56,730 those kinds of things of that nature. But it is, the binary 1068 01:06:56,730 --> 01:06:59,670 thing is I'm gonna jab it in your eye, you know, so I'm gonna 1069 01:06:59,670 --> 01:07:03,990 make you. You're saying fold and show you who has the real power 1070 01:07:03,990 --> 01:07:06,000 and these power. Okay, 1071 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:10,020 exactly. All of these moves every same would cavies doing? 1072 01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:14,160 It's supposed to come across as now you can do some stuff. You 1073 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,820 can work on it, you can help you co-conspirator. But if you don't 1074 01:07:19,110 --> 01:07:23,340 give you say no, if you say no. You say yes. I'm nice cabbie. 1075 01:07:23,340 --> 01:07:27,300 I'll make me mad. cavies. Exactly. He got less spicy there 1076 01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:30,030 at the end to me if you notice his tone change. 1077 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,820 So that I'm just going back because my head was kind of 1078 01:07:35,820 --> 01:07:39,090 filled with it, because I know that Megyn Kelly thing at home 1079 01:07:39,090 --> 01:07:42,750 is important is because this was about Sharon Osborne, which to 1080 01:07:42,750 --> 01:07:45,300 me, that's how I got to the Oprah thing because you know, 1081 01:07:45,540 --> 01:07:51,930 it's more than just the n m five M and you know, ratings frokost 1082 01:07:51,930 --> 01:07:55,080 that they're stirring up. But they had some so you know, 1083 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,800 Sharon Osborne, he got in a fight because she supported 1084 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,620 Piers Morgan, so she was supporting racist. And then 1085 01:08:01,620 --> 01:08:03,870 what's the Cheryl, what's the girl's name? The woman's name? 1086 01:08:04,470 --> 01:08:06,210 I know you're on the target. 1087 01:08:07,350 --> 01:08:09,990 Cheryl? Cheryl. Cheryl. I think it's Sheryl Underwood. 1088 01:08:10,230 --> 01:08:13,980 Underwood. Yes. Underwood. Yeah, sure. So then they had a 1089 01:08:13,980 --> 01:08:19,770 recording of her and Sharon Osborne in her dressing room. 1090 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,190 And Gosh, I wish I had that. I mean, I only heard it because I 1091 01:08:23,190 --> 01:08:26,520 was listening to the show, where she says to share knowledge when 1092 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,490 you have to understand we are under enormous pressure. If 1093 01:08:29,490 --> 01:08:34,710 there's anything that even sniffs of racism, if we don't 1094 01:08:34,710 --> 01:08:39,750 call it out, then then we get a cost that on the street. And I 1095 01:08:39,750 --> 01:08:42,330 thought that was an important thing, because it's easy to hate 1096 01:08:42,330 --> 01:08:45,150 Cheryl for what she did. I humanized her in that moment. I 1097 01:08:45,150 --> 01:08:47,880 said, Okay, I don't think you're very intelligent that you just 1098 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,910 going to let that happen. But Wow, when you're talking about 1099 01:08:50,910 --> 01:08:55,020 your career, because, you know, people could could cancel her 1100 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,710 easily, and it seems like that's a real thing. 1101 01:09:00,030 --> 01:09:02,520 And the ones that are really getting cancelled are the ones 1102 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:07,590 on their own side. We sell with Rachel Nichols over ESPN, fame. 1103 01:09:08,190 --> 01:09:11,250 Tape. And these tapes, these emails, I don't know if you 1104 01:09:11,250 --> 01:09:15,750 don't keep up with sports, but Jon Gruden on the Raiders coach. 1105 01:09:15,930 --> 01:09:19,080 Yeah, they got him up out of the office of emails and the first 1106 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:23,250 email he sent a guy had big lips and people were crying on TV. Oh 1107 01:09:23,250 --> 01:09:29,340 my god. And it's such a racial trope. It's like the same big 1108 01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:31,950 black lips I mean I don't know you say you have big lips cuz 1109 01:09:31,950 --> 01:09:34,950 he's black. Or they just say that he had big lips I don't 1110 01:09:34,950 --> 01:09:38,460 understand. I don't I don't get it either way. It's like 1111 01:09:38,519 --> 01:09:41,489 Well first of all, they wanted him out for some reason because 1112 01:09:41,489 --> 01:09:44,699 this doesn't happen just this is just like oh he stumbled across 1113 01:09:44,699 --> 01:09:47,459 some old stuff he said they wanted him out. I know what was 1114 01:09:47,459 --> 01:09:48,509 going on and why 1115 01:09:48,540 --> 01:09:51,270 but I just got to show you that this is how they're digging up 1116 01:09:51,300 --> 01:09:54,840 emails and emails. He wouldn't even if he wasn't in coaching in 1117 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,020 the NFL at the time, but then they came back the the big lips 1118 01:09:58,020 --> 01:10:03,060 didn't give him some a found some homophobic Yeah. 1119 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,620 And is there an end goal to this? Do you think that it's 1120 01:10:08,730 --> 01:10:11,370 well let's, you know, let's clear some people out of the way 1121 01:10:11,370 --> 01:10:14,130 and what and we can move in it because it doesn't seem like 1122 01:10:14,130 --> 01:10:15,390 that's actually happening 1123 01:10:15,450 --> 01:10:19,170 which is a side sidebar conversation. I think with Jon 1124 01:10:19,170 --> 01:10:22,830 Gruden situation they used him to get the team to Vegas and now 1125 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,130 the NFL no longer needs him and the razor Raiders are the 1126 01:10:26,130 --> 01:10:31,500 bastard child of the NFL I understand that ownership al 1127 01:10:31,500 --> 01:10:35,580 Davis when baby just what was it when baby winter just when my 1128 01:10:35,580 --> 01:10:38,220 dad would kill me cuz that's his favorite team. If I got that 1129 01:10:38,220 --> 01:10:40,950 quote wrong, but I think it's when baby when, if I'm not 1130 01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:47,130 mistaken, um, but he was the owner and president of the AFL 1131 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,990 CIO, the Raiders have always been a redheaded stepchild of 1132 01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:53,160 the NFL when they merged. 1133 01:10:53,820 --> 01:10:57,570 Okay, so this is gonna sound stupid. So the Raiders are now 1134 01:10:57,570 --> 01:10:59,460 in Vegas. Yes, okay. 1135 01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:04,170 Now because they moved from Oakland, Oakland like it was a 1136 01:11:04,170 --> 01:11:08,490 stronghold of support for these teams they brought they brought 1137 01:11:08,490 --> 01:11:12,390 Gruden and smooth it over kind of like the Barclays Jay Z thing 1138 01:11:12,390 --> 01:11:17,070 right? We need somebody with you know, sway with the crown right? 1139 01:11:17,490 --> 01:11:18,060 He was 1140 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,430 a handsome handsome looking white coach, 1141 01:11:20,669 --> 01:11:25,979 right?

So let me set this 1155 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,470 Right, right, quit. So this is again, this is Kimberly 1156 01:12:13,470 --> 01:12:17,760 Crenshaw, and she's talking to joy read this time, oh, it's 1157 01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:22,140 gonna be a party party. She let her hair down. Like she couldn't 1158 01:12:22,140 --> 01:12:25,770 do it Maddie, but they're gonna discuss critical race theory is 1159 01:12:25,770 --> 01:12:31,260 explained neither, as explained as neither Marxist nor racist by 1160 01:12:31,260 --> 01:12:34,140 the leading scholar Kimberly Crenshaw, who co developed the 1161 01:12:34,140 --> 01:12:36,870 framework of the study and coined this term. 1162 01:12:37,980 --> 01:12:40,620 Some of you may be wondering, what's the deal with the GOP 1163 01:12:40,620 --> 01:12:44,400 freakout over critical race theory. It's everywhere, and was 1164 01:12:44,430 --> 01:12:47,580 even used as a GOP call to arms at a conservative Christian 1165 01:12:47,580 --> 01:12:48,750 conference last week. 1166 01:12:50,010 --> 01:12:53,430 The old Marxism used economics to gain control the new Marxism. 1167 01:12:54,240 --> 01:13:00,180 The new Marxism uses identity politics. And the result is 1168 01:13:00,180 --> 01:13:02,880 something that looks nothing like America. There's no reason 1169 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,570 to believe that this new Marxism will result in anything but what 1170 01:13:06,570 --> 01:13:08,490 the old Marxism resulted in 1171 01:13:08,700 --> 01:13:14,850 critical race theory is racism, appearance. And it should be 1172 01:13:14,850 --> 01:13:19,500 rejected by every American of every race. 1173 01:13:20,010 --> 01:13:23,970 We tell you right now, critical race theory is bigoted. It is a 1174 01:13:23,970 --> 01:13:27,690 lie. And it is every bit as racist as the Klansmen and white 1175 01:13:27,690 --> 01:13:28,320 sheets. 1176 01:13:28,770 --> 01:13:32,250 Okay, but here's the thing. None of this is random. This is the 1177 01:13:32,250 --> 01:13:35,430 result of the highly manufactured strategy created by 1178 01:13:35,430 --> 01:13:38,910 season's political operatives, looking for the perfect wedge 1179 01:13:38,910 --> 01:13:42,750 issue to take back power, somebody to combat the energy of 1180 01:13:42,750 --> 01:13:46,020 the multiracial coalition that took Georgia and something to 1181 01:13:46,020 --> 01:13:51,240 replace blue lives matter since January 6, expose that slogan as 1182 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:55,890 a sham conservatives in Congress note and started chattering 1183 01:13:56,430 --> 01:14:00,600 which was then ingested into the feeder system of Fox News. The 1184 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:04,170 tagline disseminated and the war against critical race theory 1185 01:14:04,290 --> 01:14:06,870 took off. Roof 1186 01:14:07,770 --> 01:14:08,490 chatter, 1187 01:14:08,730 --> 01:14:11,040 you know, in your system, you know what I really like, because 1188 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:16,200 I see this all day long part of my job on Fox, they're playing 1189 01:14:16,230 --> 01:14:20,310 msnbc on MSNBC, they're playing Fox on CNN, they're playing 1190 01:14:20,310 --> 01:14:25,890 both. They are, they're in the drain, and they're circling, and 1191 01:14:25,890 --> 01:14:28,320 they're all going and no one's watching this crap anymore. 1192 01:14:29,220 --> 01:14:34,050 Which is great for us, but also sad if they go away. Because we 1193 01:14:34,050 --> 01:14:40,440 do need the entertainment. But this is this is this that when 1194 01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:45,360 you're blaming your colleagues, you imagine your colleagues over 1195 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:50,130 another station, I mean, that's dumb, it's petty. And that's all 1196 01:14:50,130 --> 01:14:50,910 I've got 1197 01:14:51,690 --> 01:14:55,350 this critical race theory and these binary terms are the 1198 01:14:55,350 --> 01:14:58,950 rating drivers. So they have to get involved in it and it works 1199 01:14:58,950 --> 01:15:02,340 for the politicians like Because it does get I mean like when you 1200 01:15:02,340 --> 01:15:05,970 hear critical race theory I mean, I have to say on the right 1201 01:15:06,330 --> 01:15:09,420 it's a scary term for them to use like, Oh, you don't want 1202 01:15:09,420 --> 01:15:12,510 that car that CRT you know that critical race theory? 1203 01:15:13,170 --> 01:15:15,780 Oh no, it's it's totally disingenuous the way they're 1204 01:15:15,780 --> 01:15:19,080 playing into it. And now I understand the Ted Cruz thing. 1205 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,680 So they said they've got the the critical race can and pointed at 1206 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:26,430 Cruz is nuts. This is gonna blow him up. And that's part of 1207 01:15:26,430 --> 01:15:29,700 Texas, Texas they think is in play, you know, they're doing 1208 01:15:29,700 --> 01:15:32,280 all kinds of Democrats are doing all kinds of things in Texas, 1209 01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:36,630 they're really trying to turn it blue. So taken out, Ted Cruz 1210 01:15:36,630 --> 01:15:39,120 would be I guess, something that they think is important, because 1211 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:39,960 that's what they're doing. 1212 01:15:40,770 --> 01:15:44,670 Yes. The problem is, when you start going into the schools, 1213 01:15:44,670 --> 01:15:46,650 that's going to be a major problem. So 1214 01:15:47,220 --> 01:15:50,010 Well, yeah. Because it's not about politicians. It's parents, 1215 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,730 it's parents who are standing up it's way beyond Ted Cruz. 1216 01:15:54,780 --> 01:15:58,650 Right? And this is they're just latching on to the momentum on 1217 01:15:58,650 --> 01:16:01,530 the ground. Yeah, yeah, of course. They see the same thing 1218 01:16:01,530 --> 01:16:04,890 with the media, the media is latching on to all the critical 1219 01:16:04,890 --> 01:16:09,810 race theory in in title is Yeah, it's gonna be a big, big, big 1220 01:16:09,810 --> 01:16:14,490 winner with the writings. You're right. Good point. I mean, like 1221 01:16:14,490 --> 01:16:17,790 I said, and it just keeps everybody in the fervor to 2022 1222 01:16:18,150 --> 01:16:21,960 that's all intended for that Yeah. Right. I mean, it gives 1223 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,900 you an sob story to talk about outside of COVID right I mean, 1224 01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:27,840 like it's like people get COVID fatigue so then we go back to 1225 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,670 the race you got to have something that nothing else 1226 01:16:29,670 --> 01:16:32,460 really talked about I mean to be honest with you. So these are 1227 01:16:32,460 --> 01:16:40,440 two topics that they've chosen to be the big deals for 2022 so 1228 01:16:40,470 --> 01:16:45,180 now we got to go back to your clips and now this is leaders 1229 01:16:45,180 --> 01:16:47,730 know this you want to set this up or you know 1230 01:16:49,620 --> 01:16:54,300 Yeah, yes well this is once the spell has been cast that's when 1231 01:16:54,300 --> 01:16:57,810 the manipulation starts and I think I'm not sure if it's this 1232 01:16:57,810 --> 01:17:00,360 clip but there's that may be a little extra thing about the so 1233 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,790 called leaders This is the professor De Smet again, 1234 01:17:03,030 --> 01:17:07,680 this was the Masters can only exist if they have an enemy ever 1235 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,440 they have an object of anxiety that's something that was very 1236 01:17:10,830 --> 01:17:16,740 well described by Orwell in 1984 where he where he talked about 1237 01:17:16,740 --> 01:17:19,950 the region warrior who was a constant threat, but nobody 1238 01:17:19,950 --> 01:17:25,440 actually knew whether he really existed or not and but masters 1239 01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:30,690 and the operating system always have have to invent new enemies, 1240 01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:33,540 new objects of anxiety because if there will be no object of 1241 01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:37,770 anxiety, the Masters would not have a reason to exist because 1242 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:42,360 one of the main reasons is the controlling anxiety so and the 1243 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:49,260 leaders of the masses feel that if there would be no object of 1244 01:17:49,260 --> 01:17:52,740 anxiety anymore, the masses would wake up and what would 1245 01:17:52,740 --> 01:17:56,280 they do if they wake up? The first thing they will do is kill 1246 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,030 their leaders. 1247 01:17:59,310 --> 01:18:04,110 Yes, I'm going to send this episode to the professor maybe 1248 01:18:04,110 --> 01:18:08,880 he'll do some deconstruction on on CRT with his expertise. 1249 01:18:09,270 --> 01:18:12,120 So with that in mind you will see the vested interests the key 1250 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:18,270 people in the via binary trap cuz we just not saying we got to 1251 01:18:18,270 --> 01:18:22,650 a post racial anywhere near is the fact that a lot of people 1252 01:18:22,650 --> 01:18:25,350 could walk away from the George Florrie case and like we got our 1253 01:18:25,350 --> 01:18:29,910 guy yes and he's going for good justice was done I went and did 1254 01:18:29,910 --> 01:18:34,380 my March I walked across the Black Lives Matter mural charity 1255 01:18:34,380 --> 01:18:39,750 live freeze and lay like no no, no, no, no, no, no you're saying 1256 01:18:39,750 --> 01:18:43,080 we got to keep them we got to keep them jacked up so this is 1257 01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:50,310 just another thing and it's just that like the leaders know 1258 01:18:50,310 --> 01:18:52,140 always like we got to keep them in a 1259 01:18:53,970 --> 01:18:55,530 state of state of fear. 1260 01:18:56,130 --> 01:18:59,820 right because it is the democrats needed and is ready to 1261 01:18:59,820 --> 01:19:02,670 meet for the republicans no pun intended because the more they 1262 01:19:02,670 --> 01:19:07,830 say it the more they put out race is black. The Black Lives 1263 01:19:07,830 --> 01:19:11,550 Matter and her confession her confession is so critical. And 1264 01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:14,760 when I say her I'm sorry for the creek. Yeah, Patrice colors. Her 1265 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,510 confession that they are Marxist. Just tanks everything 1266 01:19:18,540 --> 01:19:19,260 for now. 1267 01:19:20,310 --> 01:19:24,900 Show me what you write about. I think is that the CRT is is 1268 01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:28,200 great for both parties. They both like using this as their 1269 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:34,170 tentpole issue and pontificating about it is really unproductive 1270 01:19:34,230 --> 01:19:35,940 for anybody. 1271 01:19:38,430 --> 01:19:42,390 Of course, but there is no progress leaves us in the dead 1272 01:19:42,420 --> 01:19:46,980 missing in a deadlock and it just keeps it like standard 1273 01:19:46,980 --> 01:19:52,140 leaders alive. I'm not saying Easy, easy wherever listening, 1274 01:19:52,710 --> 01:19:57,090 just from his analysis. The constant keeping new information 1275 01:19:57,090 --> 01:20:01,050 keeps them alive if you want to say I met Fourthly their 1276 01:20:01,050 --> 01:20:04,380 political careers or even you're saying it's literally 1277 01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:07,770 their literal lives. Yeah, absolutely. Well, okay, well 1278 01:20:07,770 --> 01:20:12,180 that's interesting because we're going to have to see CRT 1279 01:20:12,180 --> 01:20:15,300 critical race theory for what it's being used for, and not 1280 01:20:15,300 --> 01:20:16,320 what it really is. 1281 01:20:17,099 --> 01:20:21,029 Yeah, it's, what do you call it? object of anxiety. That's, 1282 01:20:21,059 --> 01:20:25,919 that's what it is. Um, so I guess we can go in and let our 1283 01:20:25,919 --> 01:20:26,789 joy and 1284 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:31,200 I was hoping we're hoping we go back to this. Here we go. 1285 01:20:31,470 --> 01:20:34,110 No one wants a Boogeyman near their kids, and certainly not in 1286 01:20:34,110 --> 01:20:38,190 their classrooms. The operatives know this, those fears got 1287 01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:41,370 played up. And now along with the fear of trans kids taking 1288 01:20:41,370 --> 01:20:44,880 over Junior High handball, parents are fighting with school 1289 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,640 boards in cities and towns across the country over 1290 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,520 curricula that they believe teaches white kids that they are 1291 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:54,390 racist. None of this is actually happening. Who cares about a 1292 01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:56,730 little old thing like the truth when you have the perfect 1293 01:20:56,730 --> 01:21:00,990 campaign buzzword for 2022? It even has the magic word in it, 1294 01:21:01,290 --> 01:21:05,610 race. Joining me now is Kimberly Crenshaw, founder and executive 1295 01:21:05,610 --> 01:21:08,280 director of the African American policy forum and the legal 1296 01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:12,450 scholar who coined the term critical race theory. So what is 1297 01:21:12,450 --> 01:21:15,930 your fault, man? Am I you know, I tripped over the curb this 1298 01:21:15,930 --> 01:21:22,950 morning and I went critical race theory. does everything bad at 1299 01:21:22,950 --> 01:21:25,020 the end, the cicadas y'all really need to stop with the 1300 01:21:25,020 --> 01:21:27,210 cicadas critical race theory that was not nice. 1301 01:21:28,170 --> 01:21:29,610 Everything in the bag. 1302 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,920 I just wrote down a few of the notes of what people are calling 1303 01:21:35,070 --> 01:21:40,740 critical race theory, Marxism, racism, bigoted. Let's Let's 1304 01:21:40,740 --> 01:21:42,540 start with the Marxism. That's their favorite one. They're 1305 01:21:42,540 --> 01:21:46,380 using that every single time. And I hate to ask you, I hate to 1306 01:21:46,380 --> 01:21:50,010 ask dumb questions. So please don't think that critical race 1307 01:21:50,010 --> 01:21:51,150 theory Marxism, 1308 01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,590 don't worry Joyce will do that for so 1309 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,190 that's the that's the thing. If you say critical race theory, 1310 01:21:59,190 --> 01:22:07,200 they'll point to her book and the MV official academic term of 1311 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,260 critical race theory. But that's not what it is. And George did 1312 01:22:10,260 --> 01:22:15,690 tell truth bear. She says that a didn't it doesn't teach white 1313 01:22:15,690 --> 01:22:19,290 kids that they're racist. No, it teaches their teachers that 1314 01:22:19,290 --> 01:22:24,030 their race. The teachers teach the kids. So there is, like I 1315 01:22:24,030 --> 01:22:27,210 said, they work these things very carefully. And what the 1316 01:22:27,210 --> 01:22:32,010 product they want as cabbies in every classroom is constantly 1317 01:22:32,010 --> 01:22:34,890 reminding people to you know, be coconspirators 1318 01:22:35,190 --> 01:22:37,830 cavies, I get kevi in every classroom, 1319 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:42,210 right? It's sad to say, but that's that's the goal of this 1320 01:22:42,210 --> 01:22:46,920 whole thing. And they met they can never shake that Marxist 1321 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:51,660 term. But because of what Patrice said, is just anything 1322 01:22:51,660 --> 01:22:55,140 that's tied to race now is tied back to black lives. It's gonna 1323 01:22:55,140 --> 01:22:59,190 be Marxist, it's gonna be Marxist. And this is a first 1324 01:22:59,430 --> 01:23:02,220 this is not a first in the fact that we talked about the 1325 01:23:02,220 --> 01:23:06,150 Communist Party in, in racial dealings all the way back to the 1326 01:23:06,150 --> 01:23:10,200 1930s or even early I mean, yeah, definitely even earlier 1327 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:15,570 than that. But um, in America, but now this is the first time 1328 01:23:15,570 --> 01:23:20,760 we had it I actually put out on the front where as you know, 1329 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:25,140 it's very clear to see what's going on here. Um, so 1330 01:23:26,220 --> 01:23:27,660 yeah, it's clear to us 1331 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:33,240 this what No, we you, you can always go back and play the clip 1332 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,480 of her of her saying she's a Marxist and that that's not just 1333 01:23:36,480 --> 01:23:39,090 from the Republican side. I mean, I don't know where they 1334 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,930 they I don't want this misconception in that black 1335 01:23:42,930 --> 01:23:45,900 people are for Marxism, not that I speak for all black people. 1336 01:23:45,900 --> 01:23:49,740 But that just never took I mean, because you had a lot of other 1337 01:23:49,740 --> 01:23:54,090 groups that had Marxist views, that it never they never could 1338 01:23:54,090 --> 01:23:58,890 get a strong haul because that just doesn't support you know, 1339 01:23:58,890 --> 01:24:03,600 the the average economic view of the average black American 1340 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,620 business such things that no we we want to be credited for our 1341 01:24:07,620 --> 01:24:10,080 work you know, I mean, we're just like every other American 1342 01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,320 in that aspect of it, you know, we want to get paid more. We 1343 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:17,100 don't want people to tell us what to do or our kids we want 1344 01:24:17,100 --> 01:24:19,950 to have property ownership, these things are big to us. So 1345 01:24:20,220 --> 01:24:23,670 please, they'll never get a strong hole. And like I said, 1346 01:24:23,700 --> 01:24:27,930 they they she burned herself when she said that, but you hear 1347 01:24:27,930 --> 01:24:32,910 the language the joys use the operative these these loaded 1348 01:24:32,910 --> 01:24:35,700 terms, and I think this projection 1349 01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:42,810 is calling it a strategy by by the Republicans, whereas the 1350 01:24:42,810 --> 01:24:45,150 strategy is this whole setup, 1351 01:24:45,990 --> 01:24:49,860 right? And that's the whole thing and it might work for them 1352 01:24:49,860 --> 01:24:53,130 because as long as they get their republicans talking about 1353 01:24:53,130 --> 01:24:57,960 race period, they can always lay with them the racist in the mind 1354 01:24:57,990 --> 01:25:01,440 the masses, so maybe from that aspect of It's like I say, if 1355 01:25:01,440 --> 01:25:06,240 so what would what would you? political consultant, Mr. mo? 1356 01:25:06,810 --> 01:25:11,010 What would you advise Ted Cruz to do or Marco Rubio or any of 1357 01:25:11,010 --> 01:25:17,010 these dudes would not respond from. from a political 1358 01:25:17,010 --> 01:25:20,970 standpoint? Yeah. Gas, no brakes in the Marxism. Yeah, I mean, 1359 01:25:20,970 --> 01:25:25,710 it's a winner. Winner. Oh gas, no brakes. 1360 01:25:26,910 --> 01:25:30,570 no brakes, because it works. And that's what gets on there. I 1361 01:25:30,570 --> 01:25:33,330 mean, you hear her addressing it anytime you hear him trying to 1362 01:25:33,330 --> 01:25:36,120 bring it in by Oh, please the critical race theory that you 1363 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:38,610 discussed at Harvard? I mean, that's that kind of thing. Is 1364 01:25:38,610 --> 01:25:44,160 that based in Marxism? No. But you heard what can be said and I 1365 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:48,330 trust can't be more than Kiran Shah. So in this aspect of it, 1366 01:25:48,330 --> 01:25:52,170 because I think she's, she's a bit out of touch on where 1367 01:25:52,170 --> 01:25:56,850 they're taking this as well. With that, I think we stopped at 1368 01:25:56,850 --> 01:25:58,590 two, let's go ahead and get into three. 1369 01:25:59,310 --> 01:26:02,100 It's critical race theory, Marxism. Well, 1370 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,430 you know what, here's here's the thing, like a critical 1371 01:26:06,270 --> 01:26:09,360 answer the question answer the question, you know what, 1372 01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,050 here's the thing. 1373 01:26:12,210 --> 01:26:16,590 That performative that's performative right there. You 1374 01:26:16,590 --> 01:26:21,150 know, joy, instead of that's a great question. Nope. Let's find 1375 01:26:21,150 --> 01:26:23,460 out the answer. If she's gonna give an answer. 1376 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,580 It's critical race theory, Marxism. 1377 01:26:27,210 --> 01:26:30,840 Well, you know what, here's here's the thing, like, critical 1378 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:35,130 race theory is not so much a thing. It's a way of looking at 1379 01:26:35,130 --> 01:26:38,370 a thing. It's a way of looking at race. It's a way of looking 1380 01:26:38,610 --> 01:26:43,740 at why after so many decades, centuries, actually, since the 1381 01:26:43,740 --> 01:26:48,120 emancipation, we have patterns of inequality that are enduring, 1382 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,510 they're stubborn. And the point of critical race theory 1383 01:26:51,540 --> 01:26:56,040 originally, was to think and talk about how law contributed 1384 01:26:56,040 --> 01:27:00,660 to the subordinate status of African Americans of indigenous 1385 01:27:00,660 --> 01:27:05,580 people, and an entire group of people who were coming to our 1386 01:27:05,580 --> 01:27:11,310 shores, from from Asia. And the point was, quite frankly, to 1387 01:27:11,310 --> 01:27:15,630 understand the problem in order to intervene in it to understand 1388 01:27:15,630 --> 01:27:21,630 why the greatest hopes for our republic were not being 1389 01:27:21,630 --> 01:27:25,410 realized, even though these hopes were encoded in law. So 1390 01:27:25,410 --> 01:27:30,000 critical race theory just inherits the beliefs and the 1391 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:34,410 hopes of Frederick Douglass of Martin Luther King, basically 1392 01:27:34,410 --> 01:27:39,180 want the law to do for the freed people, what the law did for 1393 01:27:39,180 --> 01:27:44,100 enslavers. And we picked that up in the 70s and 80s, after the 1394 01:27:44,100 --> 01:27:47,640 civil rights movement to say, Okay, so now we got this big 1395 01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:51,480 civil rights movement, we have all these laws on the books, but 1396 01:27:51,510 --> 01:27:55,680 things really aren't looking as different as they should if we 1397 01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,570 are really the society that we say we are. 1398 01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,360 What I had to say is, if you're dealing with this from the 70s, 1399 01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,970 and 80s, you're a lawyer, right? And you've been dealing with how 1400 01:28:05,970 --> 01:28:11,430 law has been used as a tool or, either I mean, at worst, Matt, 1401 01:28:11,430 --> 01:28:15,330 best ineffective for saying so called black people, I will find 1402 01:28:15,330 --> 01:28:18,480 you ineffective, because you've been doing this for for 40 1403 01:28:18,480 --> 01:28:22,500 years, nothing's happened. What do they want? What does she 1404 01:28:22,500 --> 01:28:25,050 want? I mean, what what do you want? 1405 01:28:25,590 --> 01:28:28,500 She wants to stay where she's at in a nice comfortable spot where 1406 01:28:28,890 --> 01:28:33,390 pontificate about this, these theories or race, and not 1407 01:28:33,390 --> 01:28:38,100 actually go into trial law, or these things that actually like, 1408 01:28:38,310 --> 01:28:41,820 Hey, I got an idea. How about you take on these algorithms? 1409 01:28:42,540 --> 01:28:46,920 Right, is this bailed actually is impacting that's a real, 1410 01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:50,490 tangible problem that's based off a race. We've covered this 1411 01:28:50,490 --> 01:28:55,020 here. How these algorithms calculate Ben? Yes, yeah, that's 1412 01:28:55,020 --> 01:28:58,170 real legal problems, not what I'm gonna get. 1413 01:28:58,530 --> 01:29:01,140 But have you ever heard maybe it's in some of the other clips, 1414 01:29:01,140 --> 01:29:05,520 but does she ever mentioned exactly what legal issues are 1415 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:06,330 racist back 1416 01:29:06,330 --> 01:29:10,380 to reconstruction, reconstruction and civil rights? 1417 01:29:10,380 --> 01:29:13,320 And it's all about voting. I mean, let's just be honest, 1418 01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,960 here. It's everything's about voting. Now. It's about the 1419 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:20,370 voting laws. And you saw with Georgia and Texas and all these 1420 01:29:20,370 --> 01:29:24,480 other places, it's all about the access to voting and making it 1421 01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:27,390 easier for people to vote, which I don't understand how that's 1422 01:29:27,390 --> 01:29:32,100 very easy. If the polls are overwhelmed, make more polls. I 1423 01:29:32,100 --> 01:29:35,010 mean, that's a very simple act, but it's like, well, we don't 1424 01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,210 need to show ID either. And it's like, we've proven that that's 1425 01:29:39,210 --> 01:29:42,180 the crazy idea to think that's racist to say somebody had to 1426 01:29:42,180 --> 01:29:45,480 show ID to think that black people don't have IDs. It's 1427 01:29:45,480 --> 01:29:50,430 like, I mean, but this is, their, their, they're brought up 1428 01:29:50,430 --> 01:29:54,570 there to fear airtime, you know, to keep people engaged into the 1429 01:29:54,570 --> 01:29:58,800 racial conversation into 2022. Because there's a lot at stake 1430 01:29:58,830 --> 01:30:04,590 in that race. And they they've lost a lot of leverage, um, pal, 1431 01:30:04,590 --> 01:30:08,100 if you want to talk about that, I mean, it's it's the whole 1432 01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:11,490 thing called a mandate that a lot of people have dark people 1433 01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:14,490 are not feeling so how about those? How about those silver 1434 01:30:14,490 --> 01:30:16,830 rights? How about we jump on that but it's like no, no, no. 1435 01:30:18,390 --> 01:30:22,230 That's not true. That's not true. It's only Republicans who 1436 01:30:22,230 --> 01:30:24,660 are anti vaxxers it's not true what you say? 1437 01:30:25,050 --> 01:30:31,350 Yeah. Your numbers are awfully low on on the who's enthused 1438 01:30:31,350 --> 01:30:35,940 about taking the shot with the dark folks with an X. Right? So 1439 01:30:35,970 --> 01:30:40,920 um, yeah, so that's that's the whole thing with but we got some 1440 01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:43,860 more clips with him. Just let him wrap up with the last two 1441 01:30:43,860 --> 01:30:44,250 clips. 1442 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:48,540 So we put about the task of understanding how long wasn't 1443 01:30:48,540 --> 01:30:53,370 just the neutral referee. Law wasn't always on our side. In 1444 01:30:53,370 --> 01:30:57,540 fact, law was less on our side than four on our side. And we 1445 01:30:57,540 --> 01:31:01,050 wanted to tell these stories in order to do better with the 1446 01:31:01,050 --> 01:31:04,410 promises that are embedded in the Constitution. That's what's 1447 01:31:04,410 --> 01:31:05,490 in critical race theory. 1448 01:31:05,730 --> 01:31:09,120 So is critical race theory does is there a K through 12 1449 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,210 curriculum that right now is being taught I'm sorry, I know 1450 01:31:12,210 --> 01:31:15,780 it's a dumb question. But is there a K through 12 curriculum 1451 01:31:15,780 --> 01:31:17,970 on critical race theory that's being taught in schools around 1452 01:31:17,970 --> 01:31:19,680 this country? Well, 1453 01:31:19,710 --> 01:31:24,060 Lovejoy if it was news to most Americans, that critical race 1454 01:31:24,060 --> 01:31:28,080 theory was in K through 12. It was news to me, too. I'm one of 1455 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:32,010 the co authors of one of the few books on critical race theory, I 1456 01:31:32,010 --> 01:31:35,880 think I would know, if we were being taught in K through 12. I 1457 01:31:36,060 --> 01:31:38,880 mean, basically, critical race theory, classic critical race 1458 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,630 theory is a law school course. And it's really, you know, not 1459 01:31:42,630 --> 01:31:46,230 taught as widely as I would hope it would. Now, here's the deal. 1460 01:31:46,410 --> 01:31:50,130 This is not about whether anything called critical race 1461 01:31:50,130 --> 01:31:53,100 theory is in K through 12. What they're calling quitter, 1462 01:31:53,100 --> 01:31:55,350 critical race theory doesn't exist anyway. 1463 01:31:56,460 --> 01:32:03,060 Oh, okay. Even better. So, critical race theory is not 1464 01:32:03,060 --> 01:32:06,060 there. But whatever you're calling it, that's not real. Go 1465 01:32:06,060 --> 01:32:06,420 away. 1466 01:32:07,980 --> 01:32:11,520 actual question, enjoy something completely different? Yeah. The 1467 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,940 question you should ask was, so what is being confused for 1468 01:32:14,940 --> 01:32:18,330 critical race theory? Yeah. K through 12. That would be the 1469 01:32:18,330 --> 01:32:21,750 actual Well, nothing she knows. Yeah. But it's not there's 1470 01:32:21,750 --> 01:32:24,540 nothing because she said it. There's nothing that she was she 1471 01:32:24,540 --> 01:32:25,500 hit it out there now. 1472 01:32:26,219 --> 01:32:27,029 There's nothing there. 1473 01:32:27,299 --> 01:32:30,359 So what is that? That was just linked into that document on 1474 01:32:30,359 --> 01:32:36,389 page nine with the abolitionist teaching network. What What is 1475 01:32:36,389 --> 01:32:40,889 that? I mean, these these, these classes that we're seeing these 1476 01:32:40,889 --> 01:32:43,499 teachers are being forced to attend. What is that? 1477 01:32:43,530 --> 01:32:46,980 Yeah, well, that but I think you said it earlier, critical race 1478 01:32:46,980 --> 01:32:51,390 theory is what? Got the teachers into this mode. And now they're 1479 01:32:51,390 --> 01:32:52,470 just off the hook. 1480 01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:54,630 Right? It's like I've been 1481 01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,750 there. They got the they got the programming, they got the 1482 01:32:57,750 --> 01:32:58,290 program. 1483 01:32:59,310 --> 01:33:01,080 I got to teach it to my pupils. 1484 01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:06,690 Do you think they have a little badge like a decoder ring when 1485 01:33:06,690 --> 01:33:09,270 you're part of the club and your little Appalachians network? 1486 01:33:09,270 --> 01:33:12,360 Yeah, ID card or something? 1487 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,170 I'm sure they do. He probably in the network. If you Google me, 1488 01:33:16,170 --> 01:33:16,860 I'm in the network. 1489 01:33:16,889 --> 01:33:20,729 Did you look into that thing? How, whose funding that was that 1490 01:33:20,730 --> 01:33:25,830 I did not look into I mean, like I said, it's just if I did not 1491 01:33:25,830 --> 01:33:28,410 look, I didn't have a chance to look into the actual network. I 1492 01:33:28,410 --> 01:33:34,110 stopped with KB, because that was partially to see is that 1493 01:33:34,110 --> 01:33:39,240 this year, just your fruit tree is producing, I'm good to go. I 1494 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,850 need to know. But of course, I'll do I'll do more research 1495 01:33:41,850 --> 01:33:46,800 into it as time permits. But I want to stick on talking to the 1496 01:33:46,830 --> 01:33:53,760 expert, the co author, the no co creator of critical race theory 1497 01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:57,930 and her denial that it even exists. So let's wrap up with 1498 01:33:57,930 --> 01:33:59,070 them with number five. 1499 01:33:59,190 --> 01:34:03,390 It is a backlash effort to reverse the racial reckoning, 1500 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:07,110 unlike any we've seen in our lifetime. And as you pointed out 1501 01:34:07,110 --> 01:34:09,210 at the beginning, they can't say, 1502 01:34:09,420 --> 01:34:11,310 you know, I want to hear her say that again. 1503 01:34:12,450 --> 01:34:16,680 It is a backlash effort to reverse the racial reckoning, 1504 01:34:16,890 --> 01:34:20,370 unlike any we've seen in our lifetime. And as you pointed out 1505 01:34:20,370 --> 01:34:24,480 at the beginning, they can't say, you know, we're for racism, 1506 01:34:24,480 --> 01:34:27,810 they can't say Derrick Sheldon should have killed George Floyd 1507 01:34:27,810 --> 01:34:31,020 with his hand in his pocket looking like he was completely 1508 01:34:31,170 --> 01:34:34,530 without a care in the world. They couldn't say that. So they 1509 01:34:34,560 --> 01:34:38,670 they they looked around and found of a strange sounding 1510 01:34:38,910 --> 01:34:43,020 theory that they could put all of the grievances and 1511 01:34:43,530 --> 01:34:47,880 resentments in and mobilize people around this Boogeyman and 1512 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:52,530 in and if our side can't really understand what's going on, it's 1513 01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,410 going to work. It's worked in the past. We weren't to end 1514 01:34:55,470 --> 01:34:58,410 reconstruction and it can work to end this reckoning, too. 1515 01:34:59,310 --> 01:35:01,830 Yeah, all right. Cuz that was purely political 1516 01:35:01,890 --> 01:35:12,600 yeah that's what it's all about voting in 2022 and I'll say this 1517 01:35:12,780 --> 01:35:16,830 as you heard her say she said the the our racial reckoning She 1518 01:35:16,830 --> 01:35:20,220 said she's so tapped in a bow she wouldn't know about things 1519 01:35:20,490 --> 01:35:26,220 were a little does she know that it's not a politically correct 1520 01:35:26,220 --> 01:35:27,690 to say rational reckoning 1521 01:35:29,340 --> 01:35:30,390 I liked it actually 1522 01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:35,610 it rolls off the tongue very easily but the Washington Post 1523 01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:40,080 opinion piece says do not call it a racial reckoning the race 1524 01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:43,740 towards equality equality has barely begun that's headline 1525 01:35:43,770 --> 01:35:48,870 Really? Of course yes. And then also the CNN has one as well is 1526 01:35:48,990 --> 01:35:53,370 there was no racial reckoning. So she's out of the loop that 1527 01:35:53,850 --> 01:35:58,320 one. No ratio reckoning has exist. I mean, it doesn't exist 1528 01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,380 or you know, hasn't? Hasn't hasn't realized yet. Yeah, it 1529 01:36:01,380 --> 01:36:05,040 hasn't materialized yet. But like I said that she's 1530 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:09,120 antiquated and not to meet your ages or anything. But she 1531 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,000 actually thinks that George floor was progress, but not to 1532 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,120 the radicals. That's nothing that's like a no, it's like, No, 1533 01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:16,560 no, no, we got to keep pushing. 1534 01:36:16,650 --> 01:36:19,680 Well, I'm sad to say this woman is just to be dismissed from 1535 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:21,900 here on out because she's, she's no good. 1536 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:26,490 She's just, she's coming into her own terms of like, 1537 01:36:27,870 --> 01:36:31,740 intersectionality. When you ask her what it is, like, what you 1538 01:36:31,740 --> 01:36:36,900 know, what's the thing? That thing you know, the thing. So 1539 01:36:36,900 --> 01:36:40,590 that's the first block. I think so now's the time to thank the 1540 01:36:40,590 --> 01:36:43,650 people that make this podcast happen. Our producers 1541 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,580 Yes. And as always, we'd like to remind ourselves what we're 1542 01:36:47,580 --> 01:36:48,390 doing here, 1543 01:36:48,450 --> 01:36:51,780 right man and the black man have to be able to sit down at the 1544 01:36:51,780 --> 01:36:55,080 same table, the white man has to feel free to speak his mind 1545 01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,840 without hurting the feelings of that Negro. And the so called 1546 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,870 Negro has to feel free to speak his mind without hurting the 1547 01:37:00,870 --> 01:37:03,660 feelings of the white man, then they can bring the issues that 1548 01:37:03,660 --> 01:37:06,000 are under the rug out on top of the table and take an 1549 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,820 intelligent approach to get the problem solved. But the only way 1550 01:37:09,420 --> 01:37:09,780 to do it. 1551 01:37:09,930 --> 01:37:14,010 Yeah, that's right. Y'all can go looking for some critical race 1552 01:37:14,010 --> 01:37:16,770 theory or just listen to mo facts with Adam Curry. This is 1553 01:37:16,770 --> 01:37:20,070 where we solve it all. The whole world working on it very hard. 1554 01:37:20,700 --> 01:37:26,520 We are a non commercial podcast. And when I say non commercial, 1555 01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:30,180 it means that we don't have commercials. We don't take 1556 01:37:30,180 --> 01:37:34,980 corporate money, we have no sneaky ways. In fact, we rely 1557 01:37:34,980 --> 01:37:39,270 entirely on the producers of the podcast.

But there's other meanings as well. It's a very 1734 01:49:00,990 --> 01:49:04,980 tricky word. It can be used in so many formal and informal 1735 01:49:04,980 --> 01:49:08,370 ways. So I have I, I swear English, that's a YouTube 1736 01:49:08,370 --> 01:49:11,730 channel. He's an English teacher. And he has a wonderful 1737 01:49:11,730 --> 01:49:14,250 English accent. So going into 23. 1738 01:49:15,510 --> 01:49:19,830 Okay, we have a couple of phrasal verbs with this as well, 1739 01:49:20,730 --> 01:49:27,360 to recomm to set an account, but it's more common to reckon to 1740 01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:35,460 work out the final amount like to tally up to balance the 1741 01:49:35,460 --> 01:49:41,790 debits and credits. So look, you pay for everything today, and 1742 01:49:41,790 --> 01:49:47,190 we'll recommend up at the end of the day. Yeah, we'll equalize it 1743 01:49:47,190 --> 01:49:55,020 again. To settle account. Okay, so to reckon, I reckon I think 1744 01:49:55,020 --> 01:50:01,740 it's my opinion or to calculate to read Come up to settle that 1745 01:50:01,770 --> 01:50:09,000 to set an account to tally up if you lie through reckon you're 1746 01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,970 going to have to reckon on this happening. Expect to reckon with 1747 01:50:14,970 --> 01:50:21,660 to deal with. Yeah. And then somebody to be reckoned with or 1748 01:50:21,660 --> 01:50:26,430 something to be reckoned with a powerful force, that's going to 1749 01:50:26,430 --> 01:50:32,940 be difficult to recommend. Okay, the origin of this word comes 1750 01:50:32,940 --> 01:50:37,830 from proto Germanic, there's a word recognize, which means to 1751 01:50:37,830 --> 01:50:45,270 count, and to explain. But this word record, in nearly all of 1752 01:50:45,270 --> 01:50:49,170 the senses I've given you, it's informal. It's great for an 1753 01:50:49,170 --> 01:50:53,100 informal conversation in the pub, but in something semi 1754 01:50:53,100 --> 01:50:58,050 formal, or something formal writings, particularly, I think 1755 01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:05,010 my opinion is, I calculate by figure to set up an account 1756 01:51:06,630 --> 01:51:13,530 truly expect to deal with to anticipate Okay, so to record 1757 01:51:15,300 --> 01:51:18,540 Okay, there's a lot more meaning to it than I initially thought. 1758 01:51:19,260 --> 01:51:23,370 Cuz you were you were in the air formal way. But he also gave the 1759 01:51:23,370 --> 01:51:28,440 formal meanings me something to reckon with a force or to settle 1760 01:51:28,440 --> 01:51:31,410 up, like, as you said, in an informal way, too. Either way. 1761 01:51:31,410 --> 01:51:36,840 She said that with her being a lawyer, aka a word wizard. How 1762 01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:40,680 does she mean that ratio reckoning? Is it like a ratio 1763 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:44,370 forced to be, you know, to be reckoned with? Or is it? 1764 01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:50,520 Right, right, any of those other meanings besides the even 1765 01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:51,120 Steven, 1766 01:51:52,049 --> 01:51:54,449 got a Friday evening? Yeah, about getting back, man. You 1767 01:51:54,449 --> 01:51:57,509 could another way you could say, to get back, right? Yes. Yeah, 1768 01:51:57,539 --> 01:52:01,739 yeah. Yeah. So how are you using this where I set all the score? 1769 01:52:02,129 --> 01:52:06,719 Yes. So what does that mean, when you hear that it's like, 1770 01:52:07,019 --> 01:52:12,509 aggressive? Yes. So in the minds of people that may be caught 1771 01:52:12,509 --> 01:52:16,709 self conscious about race. It's like, well, we have narrative 1772 01:52:16,709 --> 01:52:21,149 from one narrative here. We oppressed them for 40 years. And 1773 01:52:21,149 --> 01:52:25,139 they won't recommend. What does that mean? It was saying, like, 1774 01:52:25,409 --> 01:52:27,089 that makes people nervous. 1775 01:52:27,150 --> 01:52:31,410 Yeah, cuz Wait a minute. Does it mean 400 years for us? Yes. 1776 01:52:31,530 --> 01:52:34,230 That's, that's, that's where they are. I can go or 1777 01:52:34,260 --> 01:52:40,110 or for 400 years. I can handle another 100 What's the problem? 1778 01:52:40,530 --> 01:52:41,010 Right? 1779 01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:49,890 doubtful, but yeah, yeah, it's Yeah, it's aggressive and scary 1780 01:52:49,890 --> 01:52:50,730 that way. Yes. 1781 01:52:51,180 --> 01:52:53,790 Yeah. So what what is that racial reckoning that just 1782 01:52:53,790 --> 01:52:58,140 sounds as like a blaxploitation film. You're saying, well, like 1783 01:52:58,140 --> 01:53:01,350 the Panthers is coming back to, you know, saying to get white, 1784 01:53:01,350 --> 01:53:06,570 do whatever, like so why use that term, but, and then, like I 1785 01:53:06,570 --> 01:53:10,530 said, the article said, don't use that term. So I just found 1786 01:53:10,530 --> 01:53:15,900 that she was out of the loop with that again. Yeah. So now we 1787 01:53:15,900 --> 01:53:19,590 have to go to the other side of the binary coin. And go over to 1788 01:53:19,590 --> 01:53:23,070 the Fox News. And this is Tucker Carlson. This is the blurb from 1789 01:53:23,070 --> 01:53:28,320 the video. Tucker Carlson tonight hosts blast, blast 1790 01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:31,200 critical race theory and highlights parents push back. 1791 01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,680 Good evening and welcome at Tucker Carlson. Tonight. Loudoun 1792 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:38,550 County, Virginia, right outside Washington, DC was for a very 1793 01:53:38,550 --> 01:53:43,020 long time for generations. A reasonable place was orderly and 1794 01:53:43,050 --> 01:53:47,610 calm. It was well maintained. Loudoun County famously worked, 1795 01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:52,290 certainly in contrast to the city nearby. And then two things 1796 01:53:52,290 --> 01:53:56,220 happen. The Loudon County first, lots of federal money flowed in 1797 01:53:56,220 --> 01:53:59,520 all those government contracts in Washington made ladon County 1798 01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:03,000 rich in fact, bladen County is now the single richest county in 1799 01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:06,540 the entire United States. And that's been a problem because 1800 01:54:06,540 --> 01:54:09,840 any place you find easy money, you will also inevitably find 1801 01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:13,680 large numbers of unhappy white liberals those brutal neurotics 1802 01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,500 with the masks on screaming and everyone else to get in line. 1803 01:54:17,070 --> 01:54:20,790 Loudoun County has a whole bunch of those people now. It also has 1804 01:54:20,820 --> 01:54:24,360 a huge number of immigrants. One out of every four people in 1805 01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:27,990 Loudon County was born in another country. Now in general, 1806 01:54:27,990 --> 01:54:31,800 most immigrants are not very liberal at all, actually, in 1807 01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,080 fact, many of them have what would now be described as 1808 01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:38,250 extreme right wing positions on social issues. If you ever have 1809 01:54:38,250 --> 01:54:40,800 a chance to ask a Salvadoran what he thinks of 1810 01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:44,520 transgenderism, it'll make you laugh, probably nervously. 1811 01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:47,130 You'll look around to see if anyone heard it. But as a 1812 01:54:47,130 --> 01:54:50,880 practical matter, it doesn't matter at all. What immigrants 1813 01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:54,870 what Salvadorans or Pakistanis think of social issues or how 1814 01:54:54,870 --> 01:54:57,690 they organize their own families. Immigrants vote 1815 01:54:57,690 --> 01:55:00,390 overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, and those 1816 01:55:00,390 --> 01:55:04,020 votes give more power not to them, but to those unhappy white 1817 01:55:04,020 --> 01:55:05,580 liberals who want to blow everything up. 1818 01:55:07,919 --> 01:55:11,189 So this made me realize first of all is a lot of loaded loaded 1819 01:55:11,219 --> 01:55:19,199 language as in the Jory clips of neurotics and there's a lot of 1820 01:55:19,829 --> 01:55:22,829 hyperbole is just as heavy on that side 1821 01:55:23,669 --> 01:55:27,329 but I want to show it just in your tracks and pulls away from 1822 01:55:27,329 --> 01:55:32,099 both into these two camps but what also he said we made me 1823 01:55:32,099 --> 01:55:37,289 realize is this is not for the target is the audience is not 1824 01:55:37,769 --> 01:55:41,459 quote unquote black black American people. This is 1825 01:55:41,609 --> 01:55:46,199 training the kids of the new immigrants Yes. Because as he 1826 01:55:46,199 --> 01:55:49,199 said, they come from very I mean, if you talk about just 1827 01:55:49,199 --> 01:55:51,659 take the groups it's just coming into the country now in mass 1828 01:55:52,019 --> 01:55:57,599 Central America and and Mexico they have very strong 1829 01:55:57,599 --> 01:56:02,939 patriarchal system right. Um, you look at the Haitians Thanks. 1830 01:56:02,939 --> 01:56:06,359 Thanks. Similar thing. You look at the Afghan a similar thing. 1831 01:56:06,509 --> 01:56:09,359 So these are a lot of people is coming into the country, 1832 01:56:09,389 --> 01:56:11,999 especially in Loudoun County or counties like Loudoun County, 1833 01:56:12,299 --> 01:56:15,269 which is right up the road from me so I'm ground zero on this 1834 01:56:15,269 --> 01:56:20,519 kind of thing. You got to get in those kids hands early. You have 1835 01:56:20,519 --> 01:56:24,539 bitten I think that's reason why you hear the term dark people 1836 01:56:24,899 --> 01:56:28,949 because you can't use po anymore right? You can't use black 1837 01:56:28,949 --> 01:56:31,109 anymore. Black and Brown Brown 1838 01:56:31,350 --> 01:56:34,770 Brown Brown so you really think they're gonna gonna go with this 1839 01:56:34,770 --> 01:56:35,970 with the dark stuff 1840 01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:39,300 when they rolled out different terms like I said the PLC is 1841 01:56:39,300 --> 01:56:44,070 dead they tried that. Some kind of crazy acronym but it knows 1842 01:56:44,070 --> 01:56:48,180 don't work. Like say Black has its own connotation to it. Brown 1843 01:56:48,180 --> 01:56:53,160 is more Hispanic. So do your middle eastern or Indian kids 1844 01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:57,480 don't fall under that so always you know why? And then what's 1845 01:56:57,480 --> 01:57:00,120 the opposite of white so it's like you can't do black so let's 1846 01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:00,780 go with dark 1847 01:57:00,900 --> 01:57:04,110 This is it so this this is probably not news to you. But 1848 01:57:04,110 --> 01:57:08,640 this clearly shows that the Democratic Party has given up on 1849 01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:13,110 black America just given up they don't care 1850 01:57:13,140 --> 01:57:17,310 well no know what they are. There's now this is another term 1851 01:57:17,310 --> 01:57:22,890 I came up with their cicada cracks. Okay, they go dormant 1852 01:57:22,890 --> 01:57:28,890 for a long period of time. Time for us to vote and they big they 1853 01:57:28,890 --> 01:57:31,170 weigh out the dirt and they come over to us like it's time to 1854 01:57:31,170 --> 01:57:34,740 vote now black Pope's but in the meantime, they had to actually 1855 01:57:34,740 --> 01:57:40,170 engage with these other groups and set up because if you let 1856 01:57:40,170 --> 01:57:45,330 kids come here and see that their parents way, got them 1857 01:57:45,330 --> 01:57:48,540 conservative ways gotten them to the point they're at without any 1858 01:57:48,540 --> 01:57:52,680 pushback, or you lose, you lose them. Yeah. So now it's like 1859 01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:57,900 they had to go full court press on. One given them superiority 1860 01:57:57,930 --> 01:58:02,580 over the white kids. Um, that's I think that's the whole point 1861 01:58:02,580 --> 01:58:06,330 of this critical race theory in the in the, in the academic way. 1862 01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:11,370 Because they have to train these newly integrated people yeah, 1863 01:58:11,430 --> 01:58:13,500 into becoming liberal 1864 01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:16,740 into submission and train them into voting for us. 1865 01:58:17,670 --> 01:58:21,690 Yes, well, we'll make them counter their parents. I mean, 1866 01:58:21,690 --> 01:58:24,390 it's just like any, any teenager, right? You make them 1867 01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:30,300 probably easy. You make them counter their parents and with 1868 01:58:30,300 --> 01:58:35,490 any teenager is you become you liberal when you're younger, and 1869 01:58:35,490 --> 01:58:38,340 then you go more conservative. So now they have to get those 1870 01:58:38,340 --> 01:58:42,480 kids on ramp as early as possible. And that's why I think 1871 01:58:42,480 --> 01:58:45,210 you're seeing the CRT or whatever you want to call it 1872 01:58:45,420 --> 01:58:49,200 being pushed on these groups at a very early age, what would 1873 01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:51,600 you want to call it? The stuff? 1874 01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,790 Well, we'll call it is what it call it, what it is, is mind 1875 01:58:56,790 --> 01:59:01,260 control. It's a it's my control and manipulation. To me, let me 1876 01:59:01,260 --> 01:59:04,890 just be clear on where I'm at with this whole thing. I'm past 1877 01:59:04,890 --> 01:59:07,350 the point of history being taught in schools. Now, I know 1878 01:59:07,350 --> 01:59:10,860 that might be a hot take. But what I'm saying is the whole 1879 01:59:10,860 --> 01:59:15,510 point of history is if you're not going to make everybody 1880 01:59:15,510 --> 01:59:19,170 happy with history, so what I would rather see taught is law. 1881 01:59:19,830 --> 01:59:23,970 kids know their rights. kids know what voting means civics 1882 01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:27,270 power, the political system works. Yeah, that way they can 1883 01:59:27,300 --> 01:59:30,510 actually, you know, it's not a bunch of narrative because 1884 01:59:30,510 --> 01:59:33,240 whoever has the political reigns will define the narrative, 1885 01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:38,850 right? Yeah, um, you'll go from, um, but he's why these textbooks 1886 01:59:38,850 --> 01:59:42,690 change every four years, like who's in power, let's go. Super, 1887 01:59:42,690 --> 01:59:45,300 you know, well, slavery wasn't that bad. We're gonna write it 1888 01:59:45,300 --> 01:59:49,110 off as kind of a form of just indentured servitude, which 1889 01:59:49,110 --> 01:59:54,480 that's not true. And then on the other hand, you know, we're just 1890 01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,540 as bad off as you heard her saying, like now we're in a 1891 01:59:57,540 --> 02:00:00,540 similar case that we were 400 years ago. It's like No that's 1892 02:00:00,540 --> 02:00:06,930 not it either. So my just my personal opinion, um is I think 1893 02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:10,140 history should be learned in your churches or synagogues, 1894 02:00:10,140 --> 02:00:15,420 your family or the centers family family history that way 1895 02:00:15,420 --> 02:00:18,390 you get a proper perspective but if you want to have kids 1896 02:00:18,870 --> 02:00:23,880 actually be good citizens and productive citizens teach them 1897 02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:27,150 law teach them teach them why and then you can get history in 1898 02:00:27,150 --> 02:00:30,630 there so if you teach him this for Case in point by law 1899 02:00:30,660 --> 02:00:34,350 law is almost by definition history it's all case law. So 1900 02:00:34,350 --> 02:00:37,950 you're always going back in history to see how things were 1901 02:00:37,950 --> 02:00:39,180 done in the past with law 1902 02:00:39,660 --> 02:00:41,760 correctness that's when I was gonna meet with her like the 1903 02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:44,970 Brown versus Board of Education Okay, you got these rights, 1904 02:00:44,970 --> 02:00:48,060 how'd you get them understanding then you go through the case and 1905 02:00:48,060 --> 02:00:51,000 then kids understand like, oh, okay, that's how the judicial 1906 02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:51,780 system works. 1907 02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:56,490 But the problem here is is much deeper it's not about what 1908 02:00:56,640 --> 02:01:00,030 parents want their kids to be taught it's impossible in this 1909 02:01:00,060 --> 02:01:03,180 in this situation where you have to blow up the whole system you 1910 02:01:04,110 --> 02:01:08,370 I mean, every day, I'm receiving at least one email from parents 1911 02:01:08,370 --> 02:01:11,460 who are homeschooling or has looked towards you know, 1912 02:01:11,550 --> 02:01:14,940 alternative solutions that therefore disclosure 1913 02:01:14,970 --> 02:01:21,150 I'm homeschooling now right on and not in case in point. We 1914 02:01:21,150 --> 02:01:25,200 have a family law book. So I'm not just something I'm just 1915 02:01:25,200 --> 02:01:26,730 speaking. Oh, 1916 02:01:26,730 --> 02:01:34,020 can I be a guest lecturer at the mo facts school? Texas, 1917 02:01:34,799 --> 02:01:36,599 part of the podcast I like to 1918 02:01:38,730 --> 02:01:41,160 teach him a little bit of Linux or something I'll give him a 1919 02:01:41,160 --> 02:01:44,580 little like him a little some extra in life. I'll teach him 1920 02:01:44,580 --> 02:01:45,210 how to code 1921 02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:48,900 and this is how we're gonna have to do his community schooling 1922 02:01:48,900 --> 02:01:49,230 and that's 1923 02:01:49,230 --> 02:01:52,170 the way to go that's I completely think that's the way 1924 02:01:52,170 --> 02:01:54,660 to get to get the federal government out of every one 1925 02:01:54,660 --> 02:01:56,430 school well that 1926 02:01:56,430 --> 02:01:59,550 will never let that happen on in mass because that's 1927 02:01:59,610 --> 02:02:02,160 their that's their their control mechanism of course. 1928 02:02:02,250 --> 02:02:06,090 Well that's their that's their base their their funding. Yeah. 1929 02:02:06,600 --> 02:02:09,330 The teachers like you always speak about the teacher lobby. I 1930 02:02:09,330 --> 02:02:13,980 mean, when I say lobby, but that's the appropriate slip but 1931 02:02:14,010 --> 02:02:18,870 the teacher union Yeah. is one of the most powerful unions that 1932 02:02:18,870 --> 02:02:22,050 it is got a lot of juice. Yeah. So you're not just going to let 1933 02:02:22,050 --> 02:02:25,350 kids just getting the kids to be able to homeschool they had to, 1934 02:02:25,620 --> 02:02:28,920 you had to prove your education level. Like how don't wait like, 1935 02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:32,400 but this goes back to your kids aren't yours? And we need to 1936 02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:33,480 really understand. 1937 02:02:33,929 --> 02:02:37,169 Yeah, that's, that's a scary one. That's a scary one. Because 1938 02:02:37,169 --> 02:02:41,249 what they're trying to play into is what we're talking about your 1939 02:02:42,479 --> 02:02:46,859 your homeschooling is your your community is important to their 1940 02:02:46,859 --> 02:02:51,029 education as well. community around them, but you know, the 1941 02:02:51,029 --> 02:02:54,179 way they make it sounds like whoa, whoa, we really got to 1942 02:02:54,179 --> 02:02:57,389 take care of this for you. Which is taking a justice step too 1943 02:02:57,389 --> 02:02:57,869 far. 1944 02:02:58,650 --> 02:03:04,380 Yeah, and we have to understand that our kids aren't ours. I 1945 02:03:04,380 --> 02:03:07,740 mean, I don't want to go into that but when you sign that 1946 02:03:07,740 --> 02:03:12,720 birth certificate, a lot of power over it's like, okay, 1947 02:03:12,750 --> 02:03:17,220 there are kids, but you have custody of them. That's a scary 1948 02:03:17,250 --> 02:03:19,590 I mean, like that's there. I mean, it didn't really dawn on 1949 02:03:19,590 --> 02:03:23,070 me. Of course, I already knew this but it really just was 1950 02:03:23,070 --> 02:03:25,830 really really dawned on me if that's a word what would the 1951 02:03:25,830 --> 02:03:30,270 birth certificate expand? Now when you sign your right and 1952 02:03:30,270 --> 02:03:32,190 when you sign that birth certificate, basically your 1953 02:03:32,190 --> 02:03:34,950 children are Ward's of the state, they give you custody 1954 02:03:35,040 --> 02:03:36,660 and not everyone knows this 1955 02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:42,090 that's why they can come and take custody at any time a 1956 02:03:42,300 --> 02:03:47,280 truancy officers social services, all of these things. 1957 02:03:47,460 --> 02:03:49,530 And like I said, these are things that we could really 1958 02:03:49,530 --> 02:03:54,600 address if these lawyers want to address race and issues. I mean, 1959 02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:58,380 there's issues that you couldn't address but even I mean, I was 1960 02:03:58,380 --> 02:04:00,540 getting call from truant officers because they were slow 1961 02:04:00,540 --> 02:04:02,940 to update the system. Okay, so when you're gonna bring your kid 1962 02:04:02,940 --> 02:04:05,310 to school we had to have somebody to come out there it's 1963 02:04:05,310 --> 02:04:09,960 like what hold on so you can't even not see your kids at 1964 02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:10,350 school. 1965 02:04:10,740 --> 02:04:11,400 Wow 1966 02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:15,240 Yeah, we got to like I said we misses the point I'm saying 1967 02:04:15,240 --> 02:04:21,330 about learning your rights and learning what you what you sign 1968 02:04:21,330 --> 02:04:24,090 away when you sign certain documents not that we all have 1969 02:04:24,090 --> 02:04:27,960 to have I mean, I'm not one of those people where you know, the 1970 02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:31,560 sovereign people kind of thing because to operate in this 1971 02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:33,780 system, you had to have a social security number you had to have 1972 02:04:33,780 --> 02:04:38,010 a birth certificate. I mean, like um, to even get jobs right 1973 02:04:38,010 --> 02:04:40,680 you had to prove that you were for our citizens you had to 1974 02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:46,080 prove that you were born here yeah. Oh yeah, it's Wow. Like 1975 02:04:46,080 --> 02:04:51,630 how little rights we do have or um, close we are to them 1976 02:04:51,630 --> 02:04:54,450 actually. There's a huge are keys there's a 1977 02:04:54,450 --> 02:05:02,880 huge theory about the law. of the sea and the corporate 1978 02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,270 maritime law maritime law yes and the and the and the 1979 02:05:06,270 --> 02:05:11,640 corporate law and now whenever I bring this up I know agenda 1980 02:05:11,640 --> 02:05:16,680 Dvorak scoffs at me and even you know even goes as deep as well 1981 02:05:16,710 --> 02:05:21,180 when everything is an all uppercase then that's that's the 1982 02:05:21,180 --> 02:05:26,940 legal like the the ownership that's where they own you are 1983 02:05:26,940 --> 02:05:27,180 you 1984 02:05:27,179 --> 02:05:32,909 more Adam not because that's something that the more or not 1985 02:05:32,909 --> 02:05:37,139 the more these the sovereign rights people with the Moore's 1986 02:05:37,169 --> 02:05:37,589 while you're 1987 02:05:37,590 --> 02:05:41,280 talking basically with Wesley Snipes, you know, the same thing 1988 02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:43,950 he's like, yo, so sovereign citizen, you know, I don't know. 1989 02:05:44,790 --> 02:05:47,910 taxation is theft. Yeah, travel, he learned the hard way. 1990 02:05:49,050 --> 02:05:52,080 That didn't work out very well. Like I said, in theory, and this 1991 02:05:52,290 --> 02:05:56,550 theory meets reality in theory, yet on it sounds good. But I'm 1992 02:05:56,550 --> 02:05:59,730 not trying to figure it out from this out of a jail sale. I'm not 1993 02:05:59,730 --> 02:06:01,140 trying to argue my case. So 1994 02:06:01,200 --> 02:06:03,930 you gotta, you gotta be pragmatic when you're 1995 02:06:03,930 --> 02:06:06,600 homeschooling for kids. I mean, you can't be sitting in jail, 1996 02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:07,440 it's just not gonna work. 1997 02:06:07,470 --> 02:06:10,710 It kind of makes it hard to homeschool. Doesn't have good Wi 1998 02:06:10,710 --> 02:06:15,060 Fi. So let's get number two. 1999 02:06:15,629 --> 02:06:20,249 And that's why Mystery solved. A lot of places with high levels 2000 02:06:20,249 --> 02:06:23,279 of recent immigrants tend to be far more liberal than those 2001 02:06:23,279 --> 02:06:25,859 immigrants themselves. It's interesting, and that's 2002 02:06:25,859 --> 02:06:28,559 definitely true in Loudoun County, Virginia. Take a look at 2003 02:06:28,559 --> 02:06:31,049 the schools if you don't believe it. Well, Adam county used to 2004 02:06:31,049 --> 02:06:33,839 have famously good schools, people wanted to send their kids 2005 02:06:33,839 --> 02:06:37,679 to those schools. Now those schools are run by lunatics who 2006 02:06:37,709 --> 02:06:41,819 hate the country. It happened fast, it always does. Here's 2007 02:06:41,819 --> 02:06:45,539 video from a County School Board Meeting just two days ago. The 2008 02:06:45,539 --> 02:06:48,239 first person you're going to see in this video is a middle school 2009 02:06:48,239 --> 02:06:52,199 teacher called Andrea Weisskopf. Now, as you watch this, keep in 2010 02:06:52,199 --> 02:06:54,899 mind that Andrea Weisskopf is actually a middle school 2011 02:06:54,899 --> 02:06:58,199 teacher. She's not a paid actor. We didn't make her up to prove a 2012 02:06:58,199 --> 02:07:03,089 point. She is entirely real down to the ostentatiously displayed 2013 02:07:03,089 --> 02:07:07,679 pronouns. In her Twitter bio. Here's Miss Weisskopf explaining 2014 02:07:07,679 --> 02:07:10,559 how the book To Kill a Mockingbird. A book the rest of 2015 02:07:10,559 --> 02:07:15,419 us assumed was all about why racism is bad, is in fact itself 2016 02:07:15,419 --> 02:07:18,989 racist because it causes something called racial trauma 2017 02:07:19,109 --> 02:07:21,119 due to the fact there are white people in it. 2018 02:07:23,310 --> 02:07:28,230 They are so afraid of their children seen another view of 2019 02:07:28,230 --> 02:07:33,150 sexuality, gender, or religion. If you want to talk about books 2020 02:07:33,150 --> 02:07:38,220 that are assigned, let's read To Kill a Mockingbird together. If 2021 02:07:38,220 --> 02:07:42,900 you weren't willing to consider the racial trauma this assigned 2022 02:07:43,020 --> 02:07:48,120 book causes black children with its white saver. savior ism. 2023 02:07:48,660 --> 02:07:51,390 Then you have no business discussing any books. 2024 02:07:51,719 --> 02:07:56,669 Oh, I have a unique opportunity. I happen to know a black child 2025 02:07:56,729 --> 02:08:01,169 he's a little older now. Mo Have you ever read To Kill a 2026 02:08:01,169 --> 02:08:01,889 Mockingbird? 2027 02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:06,570 Yes I did already in I think it was eighth or ninth grade I 2028 02:08:06,570 --> 02:08:07,080 believe 2029 02:08:07,889 --> 02:08:12,869 good because as a white person I have no idea about this trauma 2030 02:08:12,869 --> 02:08:14,159 that must have caused you 2031 02:08:17,340 --> 02:08:22,110 I thought it was a just didn't sit with me one way or the 2032 02:08:22,110 --> 02:08:26,100 other. I mean, the black guy kind of got railroaded in it but 2033 02:08:26,430 --> 02:08:30,390 the point is, is that white savior ism that's the that's the 2034 02:08:30,420 --> 02:08:31,260 that's the key. 2035 02:08:31,350 --> 02:08:34,800 I know.

That you know just tell what happened in 2046 02:09:09,330 --> 02:09:12,930 a legal case where I did dude dig it railroad but it's the 2047 02:09:12,930 --> 02:09:16,950 fact that that white guy that's the whole point is the white 2048 02:09:16,950 --> 02:09:20,700 savior ism that's what they're trying to rebrand because but it 2049 02:09:20,700 --> 02:09:24,720 was a lie ship is is being mocked. I just was like, we got 2050 02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:25,710 to go one step further. 2051 02:09:25,770 --> 02:09:30,810 Just want to make sure that I get it. Maybe it's not a fair 2052 02:09:30,810 --> 02:09:34,890 question, because it was so long ago. But you said I said well, 2053 02:09:34,890 --> 02:09:37,890 what did you I asked him in a stupid way.

He said the black guy got 2056 02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:49,560 railroaded. I mean, that was your takeaway. Yeah. No, that's 2057 02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:52,710 important because for white people, this is very important 2058 02:09:52,710 --> 02:09:57,390 book.

No, no, I'm just keeping a dark from now 2088 02:11:46,770 --> 02:11:49,080 on. I'm just gonna keep using it. See how that works out for 2089 02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:49,290 me? 2090 02:11:49,590 --> 02:11:57,150 Yeah, you let me know. Okay. We is. I don't understand. I don't 2091 02:11:57,150 --> 02:12:02,880 know what, what the argument was that I get with the arguments 2092 02:12:02,880 --> 02:12:08,190 about but I don't understand from one side of it. The Eve 2093 02:12:08,190 --> 02:12:12,180 they think the people they're trying to help are 2094 02:12:12,330 --> 02:12:15,060 well, let's go back to let's go back to our mass formation. 2095 02:12:15,210 --> 02:12:20,580 These people are under spell. So they are probably at this point 2096 02:12:20,580 --> 02:12:29,370 in this state not capable of of thinking that you're smart, 2097 02:12:29,370 --> 02:12:33,450 dumb, or one way or the other. They're just, they're just doing 2098 02:12:33,450 --> 02:12:35,190 what they're what they've been programmed to do. 2099 02:12:35,820 --> 02:12:37,830 So do I have natural immunity? 2100 02:12:39,060 --> 02:12:41,250 You have natural immunity from a lot of things. 2101 02:12:41,580 --> 02:12:46,650 Not that not me personally, but one of the people they're trying 2102 02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:50,010 to target audiences is black people, right? They want to get 2103 02:12:50,010 --> 02:12:53,910 us route up. So we make a big push for and then hold the door 2104 02:12:53,910 --> 02:12:57,900 open and they flood all these other propagandistic news and 2105 02:12:58,980 --> 02:13:00,960 information in that's that's the goal. 2106 02:13:01,379 --> 02:13:06,239 Right? That's interesting because this is targeted at dark 2107 02:13:06,239 --> 02:13:09,569 people. But it's the white people that get riled up over 2108 02:13:09,569 --> 02:13:09,839 it. 2109 02:13:10,500 --> 02:13:14,790 But they need us to buy into it. It's the same thing with the 2110 02:13:14,790 --> 02:13:20,160 vaccine. The fact that we won't buy into it is a real problem 2111 02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:24,300 for the people that's pushing it because if we if we and I say 2112 02:13:24,300 --> 02:13:27,780 this very loosely as a group, but it's all in mass black 2113 02:13:27,780 --> 02:13:31,500 people like we want the vaccine we want the vaccine it will be 2114 02:13:31,500 --> 02:13:36,210 Snopes and it will be no like you will just know random 2115 02:13:36,210 --> 02:13:40,860 bulldoze by the insane by what will be allowed and we will all 2116 02:13:40,860 --> 02:13:45,960 be mandated by now. But the fact that we're reluctant because you 2117 02:13:45,960 --> 02:13:49,380 know we have the prior knowledge and what I call the natural 2118 02:13:49,380 --> 02:13:52,830 immunity to race it's like no I see where you're going with this 2119 02:13:52,830 --> 02:13:55,830 and you realize that right I know your information, but my 2120 02:13:55,830 --> 02:13:59,910 natural immunity protects me from the BS and it's like no, 2121 02:14:00,180 --> 02:14:04,290 I'm not gonna I'm not willing to go that route so I think that's 2122 02:14:04,290 --> 02:14:07,620 why they can't understand it like why the calculations and 2123 02:14:07,620 --> 02:14:13,260 they're like we're saying all the magic words why is it not 2124 02:14:13,260 --> 02:14:13,800 working? 2125 02:14:14,490 --> 02:14:20,730 Right? And props mad props to Kyrie Yeah. Good on him man. 2126 02:14:21,450 --> 02:14:25,680 In and day since since you brought it up I mean, cuz I 2127 02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:28,830 reason why I gotta go here because it reached your radar, 2128 02:14:28,830 --> 02:14:32,070 which you're not you're a non sports fan. Um 2129 02:14:34,050 --> 02:14:34,650 it's working. 2130 02:14:35,460 --> 02:14:42,870 The lady that ousted they asked it, Rachel Nichols for my Kayla. 2131 02:14:44,820 --> 02:14:49,560 He had the ESPN reporter who also got sideline Yes. No, no, 2132 02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:53,370 no, not not safe. Not safe steal. Oh, no, no. Okay. The one 2133 02:14:53,370 --> 02:15:00,540 that replaced Rachel Nichols with she is um, you Is this 2134 02:15:01,470 --> 02:15:04,560 outside of my paygrade? Or she can't know she came out after 2135 02:15:04,560 --> 02:15:09,750 carry to say my least like they couldn't I think Monica Andrews 2136 02:15:09,810 --> 02:15:15,930 that's it Malika yes she's the one replaced Rachel Rachel 2137 02:15:15,930 --> 02:15:21,210 Nichols and now she's earning her keep by going at the carry 2138 02:15:21,540 --> 02:15:24,750 and in a way kind of going at the rate Oh sh do wishes and 2139 02:15:24,750 --> 02:15:27,930 once the ESP was making them mandating them So what I'm 2140 02:15:27,930 --> 02:15:32,700 saying is you're seeing when you get that spot it comes it comes 2141 02:15:32,700 --> 02:15:38,190 with a price Oh yeah. And she's having to pay up strong I got to 2142 02:15:38,190 --> 02:15:39,660 give him his props he's over strong she's a 2143 02:15:39,660 --> 02:15:43,920 one dropper Yeah, she's very nice hand 2144 02:15:44,160 --> 02:15:50,010 she's half Jewish. And she's half black she's a Drake of ESPN 2145 02:15:50,100 --> 02:15:53,070 got it that and that was what they use the real black woman 2146 02:15:53,100 --> 02:16:01,110 and I say real black I mean by rational man. Let me cuz I want 2147 02:16:01,110 --> 02:16:04,710 to say this biracial is its own thing, which, of course, good 2148 02:16:04,710 --> 02:16:10,590 nor bad and embrace it. But they for optics. Yeah, they had to 2149 02:16:10,590 --> 02:16:13,710 use a quote unquote, let me say I can properly quote unquote, a 2150 02:16:13,710 --> 02:16:17,940 real black woman as the victim. Oh, Rachel Nichols. They 2151 02:16:17,940 --> 02:16:23,250 couldn't use her. They had to use another lady that says she 2152 02:16:23,250 --> 02:16:27,000 was a basically a token hire. 2153 02:16:27,390 --> 02:16:31,470 You know, it's it's so disgusting how they do this. 2154 02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:35,370 Again, back to Sharon Osborne, you know, so that whole thing 2155 02:16:35,370 --> 02:16:37,920 came down that she goes on Entertainment Tonight, and it's 2156 02:16:37,920 --> 02:16:42,030 a race story. Who interviews are the black guy? Of course, it's 2157 02:16:42,300 --> 02:16:47,940 so obvious, you know, and it's by itself that I don't know what 2158 02:16:47,940 --> 02:16:53,490 the guy's name is. He should be thinking this sucks. Don't make 2159 02:16:53,490 --> 02:16:57,330 me do this story all the time. To ruin das 2160 02:16:57,330 --> 02:17:00,750 Wow. Cast in record, right. Rachel Nichols was in the same 2161 02:17:00,750 --> 02:17:07,440 spot. Yep. As Melissa Andrews was her criticizing carry would 2162 02:17:07,440 --> 02:17:11,580 be the wrong optics. So these things are Got it? Yeah, they're 2163 02:17:11,580 --> 02:17:14,760 pre planned. It's like Okay, we got an NBA season coming up. We 2164 02:17:14,760 --> 02:17:17,970 might have some rubber rousers. So you're saying some people 2165 02:17:17,970 --> 02:17:21,210 that we don't want to go along with the program and the NFL 2166 02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:25,830 mean NBA being 85% black or more it's likely it's gonna be a 2167 02:17:25,830 --> 02:17:29,040 black person so we need somebody it's black there are appears 2168 02:17:29,040 --> 02:17:33,960 black criticizes black players. So lo and behold, here you are. 2169 02:17:34,410 --> 02:17:36,720 And I know that sounds far fetched, but no, 2170 02:17:36,960 --> 02:17:41,730 not at all. No, I come from that world. No, I come from media. 2171 02:17:41,730 --> 02:17:45,090 That's exactly how they think you're spot on. 2172 02:17:45,090 --> 02:17:47,940 But we know it's like I said, like when we see the it's the 2173 02:17:47,940 --> 02:17:51,510 natural, let's say the natural immunity to the bullshit because 2174 02:17:52,020 --> 02:17:57,090 you see the black reporter sitting now with the case, the 2175 02:17:57,090 --> 02:18:02,160 one we talked about last time with officer bird from the 2176 02:18:02,160 --> 02:18:05,640 capital. They had to sit black reporters down with him. I was 2177 02:18:05,640 --> 02:18:07,860 like, Okay, oh, now we see what this is. 2178 02:18:09,150 --> 02:18:13,230 Put out, I'll go back to my, my standard, what I think is 2179 02:18:13,230 --> 02:18:18,450 happening, they are still the Boulay the intellectual elite, 2180 02:18:18,750 --> 02:18:24,060 the liberal intellectual elite. Democrats power all politicians. 2181 02:18:24,570 --> 02:18:29,610 They still are using the old fashioned messaging system. And 2182 02:18:29,610 --> 02:18:34,980 they haven't really caught up or figured out how to reach people 2183 02:18:35,010 --> 02:18:38,070 with with their message. They still are doing it the old 2184 02:18:38,070 --> 02:18:42,030 fashioned way, you know, do 60 Minutes interview with The New 2185 02:18:42,030 --> 02:18:46,050 York Times, you know, maybe do an extra hit with anderson 2186 02:18:46,050 --> 02:18:48,780 cooper just for the looks because the ratings aren't 2187 02:18:48,780 --> 02:18:53,430 there. And it's not working. It's fundamentally not working. 2188 02:18:54,540 --> 02:18:58,860 Hollywood can't influence anyone anymore. No one cares. They're 2189 02:18:58,860 --> 02:19:02,430 tuning out they're sick of commercials. So people aren't 2190 02:19:02,430 --> 02:19:05,190 getting the messages the way they used to the only way 2191 02:19:05,190 --> 02:19:10,650 ironically, his clips being played on podcasts. And, or 2192 02:19:10,650 --> 02:19:14,040 mainly, I would say YouTube clips on YouTube clips on 2193 02:19:14,040 --> 02:19:20,340 Twitter clips on Insta. And I said insar. That's how it's 2194 02:19:20,370 --> 02:19:24,630 still being propagated. very inefficient, very inefficient, 2195 02:19:24,870 --> 02:19:27,540 and they're still pushing it this way. And they they're going 2196 02:19:27,540 --> 02:19:30,540 to come to the realization it's going to stop working. It will 2197 02:19:30,540 --> 02:19:34,560 eventually I think it already is it's just going to break look at 2198 02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:38,880 it. It's not it's not working on you. It's not working on, on on 2199 02:19:38,970 --> 02:19:41,610 black Americans with mandates. It's not working. 2200 02:19:42,120 --> 02:19:45,240 It's something that you pointed out that just dawned on me but 2201 02:19:45,240 --> 02:19:49,050 you're saying it's not working but I think it is because what 2202 02:19:49,050 --> 02:19:55,080 they're doing now is they're following the non traditional 2203 02:19:55,080 --> 02:19:59,970 media format, over action to action. This is how it goes on. 2204 02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:03,600 on the YouTube side and these kinds of things, I react to a 2205 02:20:03,600 --> 02:20:07,200 video and then somebody reacts to my video and then somebody 2206 02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:10,170 reacts to that video and then I get back to me and then I react 2207 02:20:10,170 --> 02:20:13,800 to that video that's what they're doing this they're doing 2208 02:20:13,800 --> 02:20:18,870 that but then reaction video model it's good point yeah so 2209 02:20:18,870 --> 02:20:23,790 this this is them trying to mimic answer some what's right 2210 02:20:23,790 --> 02:20:29,400 so we you see tuck across the say something then enjoy rains 2211 02:20:29,400 --> 02:20:33,750 gonna lay that out she reacts to that and then no gives more 2212 02:20:33,750 --> 02:20:38,790 Tucker Carlson more content to react to her reaction and then 2213 02:20:38,790 --> 02:20:41,790 hopefully somebody from the outside of the sphere react to 2214 02:20:41,790 --> 02:20:42,030 it. So 2215 02:20:42,030 --> 02:20:46,890 what that does it from your own YouTube experience it it hypes 2216 02:20:46,890 --> 02:20:51,000 up the people watching your stuff, and they'll be into it 2217 02:20:52,230 --> 02:20:55,320 and then you know the in the same for everyone else who's 2218 02:20:55,320 --> 02:20:58,740 answering your video, but I think it still remains very 2219 02:20:58,740 --> 02:21:03,090 limited. It's not a mass scale operation because it's only 2220 02:21:03,090 --> 02:21:08,250 going to be people who are really maybe that's not 2221 02:21:08,880 --> 02:21:09,450 you got to have 2222 02:21:12,300 --> 02:21:16,890 that you nailed it. You'll never get it right they have no joy 2223 02:21:16,890 --> 02:21:18,750 read indeed it has no talent. 2224 02:21:19,349 --> 02:21:22,469 I mean, she might get one line of like common tuck cross and 2225 02:21:22,469 --> 02:21:25,439 tuck homes. Like that's funny you were saying but it's like 2226 02:21:25,469 --> 02:21:30,179 the other things is it's not they're not talented.

It 2232 02:21:51,029 --> 02:21:54,449 was like Yeah, like and it sounds lame. So if you don't 2233 02:21:54,449 --> 02:21:56,999 have talent, you just don't have talent and that's what's really 2234 02:21:56,999 --> 02:21:59,969 being exposed and they don't have very many talented people 2235 02:21:59,969 --> 02:22:05,489 in the on the on the mainstage do not because like when you 2236 02:22:05,489 --> 02:22:08,849 look at Don Lemon he's like oh, he'll say sounds like man that 2237 02:22:08,849 --> 02:22:09,539 was lame. 2238 02:22:10,620 --> 02:22:12,270 But he's entertaining to watch 2239 02:22:13,890 --> 02:22:16,860 the Korean Korean like a Korean the Koreans kind of way you 2240 02:22:16,860 --> 02:22:23,640 react to it? Yes. It's beautiful because we've won we've won we 2241 02:22:23,640 --> 02:22:27,900 broke them to arm model Oh, sir. Around commercials which is the 2242 02:22:27,900 --> 02:22:28,320 problem 2243 02:22:29,250 --> 02:22:30,720 Yeah, True. True. 2244 02:22:31,500 --> 02:22:36,150 Alright, so so now we have across insane clip. He had a 2245 02:22:36,150 --> 02:22:40,560 teacher speaking now he's gonna have parents speaking out 2246 02:22:40,590 --> 02:22:45,720 against reacting basically, to the teachers. Oh, 2247 02:22:45,720 --> 02:22:49,020 so if you don't consider To Kill a Mockingbird racist, says 2248 02:22:49,020 --> 02:22:52,710 Andrea Weisskopf, then, quote, you have no business discussing 2249 02:22:52,740 --> 02:22:57,030 any books. Can you even imagine what this lady's personal life 2250 02:22:57,030 --> 02:23:00,570 must be like? miserable does not even begin to describe a 2251 02:23:00,570 --> 02:23:04,740 desperate hellish. But if she somehow looks familiar, there's 2252 02:23:04,740 --> 02:23:07,770 a reason for that. You've heard a lot of lectures like this 2253 02:23:07,770 --> 02:23:11,190 recently from people like Andrea Weisskopf, stupid people telling 2254 02:23:11,190 --> 02:23:14,160 you what you're allowed to say and read. That's essentially 2255 02:23:14,160 --> 02:23:18,570 2021 summed up in a single sentence. The scariest part is 2256 02:23:18,570 --> 02:23:22,470 they're telling your kids the exact same thing all day, every 2257 02:23:22,470 --> 02:23:27,180 day in school. So what effect is that having on your kids on all 2258 02:23:27,180 --> 02:23:30,720 of our kids on the country itself? Will over time the 2259 02:23:30,720 --> 02:23:34,590 effect is unimaginable. For the last year most parents have put 2260 02:23:34,590 --> 02:23:37,320 up with this, either they didn't know what was happening or they 2261 02:23:37,320 --> 02:23:40,530 felt powerless to stop it from happening. They were afraid to 2262 02:23:40,530 --> 02:23:44,640 object to speak up as lunatics like Andrea Weisskopf hurt their 2263 02:23:44,640 --> 02:23:49,260 children. But that's changing. Finally, some parents have had 2264 02:23:49,260 --> 02:23:52,350 enough of this. Watch this mother at this week's Loudoun 2265 02:23:52,350 --> 02:23:53,400 County School Board meeting. 2266 02:23:54,600 --> 02:23:57,990 CRT is not an honest dialogue is a tactic that was used by Hitler 2267 02:23:57,990 --> 02:24:01,380 in the Klu Klux Klan on slavery very many years ago to dumb down 2268 02:24:01,380 --> 02:24:05,190 my ancestors, so we could not think for ourselves. CRT is 2269 02:24:05,190 --> 02:24:08,100 racist, it is abusive, it discriminates against one's 2270 02:24:08,100 --> 02:24:11,760 color. Let me educate you an honest dialogue does not impress 2271 02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:14,370 the press. Anonymous dialogue does not permit hatred or 2272 02:24:14,370 --> 02:24:17,820 injustice is to communicate with deceiving without deceiving 2273 02:24:17,820 --> 02:24:20,400 people. Today, we don't need your agreement. We want action 2274 02:24:20,400 --> 02:24:24,450 in the backbone for what we asked for today to ban CRT, I 2275 02:24:24,450 --> 02:24:26,520 had to come down here today to tell you to your face that we 2276 02:24:26,520 --> 02:24:29,430 are coming together and we are strong. This will not be the 2277 02:24:29,430 --> 02:24:32,010 last greets and means respectfully. 2278 02:24:32,760 --> 02:24:39,450 Whoo. And as you can hear, maybe infer from what she said our 2279 02:24:39,450 --> 02:24:42,750 ancestors, this is a black lady. This is this is something that 2280 02:24:42,750 --> 02:24:43,440 they couldn't 2281 02:24:43,529 --> 02:24:46,709 do. It makes them crazy. The brain 2282 02:24:46,710 --> 02:24:51,630 freezes. It's like what do we do with this because if you go 2283 02:24:51,630 --> 02:24:56,520 against her, then it kind of just ruins your whole narrative, 2284 02:24:56,820 --> 02:25:00,000 but they don't understand that nobody wants to be a victim. 2285 02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:03,030 anymore. Like that's so that's 2286 02:25:03,360 --> 02:25:04,950 so pre Rona. 2287 02:25:06,690 --> 02:25:09,780 Even before then, I mean, that's the whole thing is just that, 2288 02:25:09,780 --> 02:25:14,670 but the problem is with social media, people finally have a 2289 02:25:14,670 --> 02:25:19,590 voice to say no, if you before I mean only what if you want to 2290 02:25:19,590 --> 02:25:23,670 only hear what msnbc has to say? And you were like, well, is that 2291 02:25:23,670 --> 02:25:26,310 what black people are saying? Well, I guess Oh, that's what 2292 02:25:26,310 --> 02:25:29,040 the black anchors are saying, or that's what the black lady from 2293 02:25:29,040 --> 02:25:32,640 Harvard is saying, you know, that kind of thing. So you have 2294 02:25:34,830 --> 02:25:37,980 people like this woman here coming forward and saying, No, 2295 02:25:37,980 --> 02:25:41,190 we don't we don't want to be victims. And we realize that 2296 02:25:41,670 --> 02:25:45,120 this is the same thing that went on throughout history. Like I 2297 02:25:45,120 --> 02:25:51,990 said, it's just, we live in an information age. And you can 2298 02:25:52,020 --> 02:25:55,950 draw the parallels very easily to things that happen in the 2299 02:25:55,950 --> 02:25:56,490 past. 2300 02:25:58,290 --> 02:26:01,560 Once you hit Yes, certainly, when it comes to communication, 2301 02:26:01,560 --> 02:26:02,250 absolutely. 2302 02:26:02,849 --> 02:26:08,159 Well, I see your one black lady at a, at a PTA meeting, raise 2303 02:26:08,159 --> 02:26:11,759 you have a survivor of Mao's China, who 2304 02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:15,210 I've been very alarmed about what's going on in our school, 2305 02:26:15,210 --> 02:26:18,030 you are now teaching, training our children to be social 2306 02:26:18,030 --> 02:26:21,630 justice warriors, and to lose our country and our history. 2307 02:26:22,410 --> 02:26:26,040 Growing up in Mao's China, or this thing very familiar, the 2308 02:26:26,070 --> 02:26:29,460 communist regime use the same critical theory to divide 2309 02:26:29,460 --> 02:26:32,880 people. The only difference is the use class instead of race. 2310 02:26:33,030 --> 02:26:35,250 during the Cultural Revolution, our witness, students and 2311 02:26:35,250 --> 02:26:38,670 teachers can turn against each other. We change school names to 2312 02:26:38,670 --> 02:26:43,170 be politically correct. We were taught to denounce our heritage, 2313 02:26:43,320 --> 02:26:47,700 the red cards, destroy anything that is not communist, statues, 2314 02:26:47,730 --> 02:26:51,930 books and anything else. We also encourage you to report on each 2315 02:26:51,930 --> 02:26:56,160 other just like the student equity ambassador program, and 2316 02:26:56,160 --> 02:26:59,700 the bias reporting system. This is indeed the American version 2317 02:26:59,700 --> 02:27:03,810 of the Chinese Communist the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The 2318 02:27:03,810 --> 02:27:07,350 critical race theory has its roots in Cultural Marxism. It 2319 02:27:07,350 --> 02:27:09,120 should have no place in our school. 2320 02:27:13,500 --> 02:27:15,540 How old was she? She must have been 2321 02:27:17,310 --> 02:27:21,240 maybe 60 or 70s. I don't want to Adrian you're saying but she's 2322 02:27:21,240 --> 02:27:25,860 definitely she's a survivor mouse. She has to you know, be 2323 02:27:26,010 --> 02:27:31,140 the you know of the age. So you see the statues being pulled and 2324 02:27:31,440 --> 02:27:34,830 books being taken out of school like you heard in the previous 2325 02:27:34,830 --> 02:27:42,510 clips. It gives the imagery of Mao's China and then you have a 2326 02:27:42,510 --> 02:27:45,390 woman coming forward and surviving say yeah, this seems 2327 02:27:45,390 --> 02:27:50,580 pretty similar. He doesn't help your case. 2328 02:27:50,610 --> 02:27:53,130 But where did you get that from? I hadn't heard of I hadn't heard 2329 02:27:53,130 --> 02:27:53,730 this woman. 2330 02:27:54,270 --> 02:27:59,940 I got it off. What are the DC shorts on? YouTube? Yeah, good 2331 02:27:59,940 --> 02:28:03,000 one I had not heard I heard but it was several several women 2332 02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:07,650 from China. I'm noticing now in good faith. I have to say some 2333 02:28:07,650 --> 02:28:10,380 of these people are just seeking attention my a lot of these 2334 02:28:10,380 --> 02:28:13,560 parents go there. And somebody I'll go viral. And it's like, 2335 02:28:13,590 --> 02:28:16,560 all I can talk that you know, and then they just start 2336 02:28:16,680 --> 02:28:20,520 yelling, cussing me and that kind of thing is not all good 2337 02:28:20,820 --> 02:28:24,810 actors on both sides. Um, so I just want to point that out as 2338 02:28:24,810 --> 02:28:29,340 well. Yeah, I saw some clips and it's like, little kids like 2339 02:28:32,610 --> 02:28:37,260 scary. It's like, bro like, why are you traumatizing your keys 2340 02:28:37,260 --> 02:28:41,910 like that just for some airtime? Like, not like it's just cuz 2341 02:28:41,910 --> 02:28:45,240 they don't the kids. The adults don't ignore critical race 2342 02:28:45,240 --> 02:28:48,480 theory. So how can the kids and it's like, how do you? How do 2343 02:28:48,480 --> 02:28:52,530 they know it's scary. So that's me just being unbiased on both 2344 02:28:52,530 --> 02:28:56,550 sides of it. I don't like to see children using that as political 2345 02:28:56,550 --> 02:29:00,360 props that it's very upsetting to me. Well, unfortunately, 2346 02:29:00,750 --> 02:29:06,180 that happens. And sometimes it happens. Yeah. Yes, yeah. 2347 02:29:06,269 --> 02:29:07,589 Yeah, somebody's saying that 2348 02:29:11,580 --> 02:29:14,460 it's gone too far is what you're saying. 2349 02:29:14,460 --> 02:29:18,270 No, I don't like it because one is not effective. First of all, 2350 02:29:18,270 --> 02:29:22,920 and two is destructive. destructive to the key. I mean, 2351 02:29:22,920 --> 02:29:28,260 I thought that my point is for the kids. Yeah, Mola Mola, the 2352 02:29:28,260 --> 02:29:32,310 kids though it's like why are you Why are you bringing the 2353 02:29:32,310 --> 02:29:35,580 children into this? But you could say the same thing will 2354 02:29:35,640 --> 02:29:38,490 they bring the kids into it cuz they trying to teach them so I 2355 02:29:38,490 --> 02:29:43,020 get it from both sides. But we need to realize if we don't put 2356 02:29:43,020 --> 02:29:46,860 on the brakes sometime soon. We can actually end up in Mao's 2357 02:29:46,860 --> 02:29:51,840 China and I have some clips. Speaking on cultural revolution 2358 02:29:51,840 --> 02:29:53,250 and why it was so violent. 2359 02:29:53,580 --> 02:29:56,280 Yes, and listen for the parallels. 2360 02:29:56,850 --> 02:30:00,960 May 2016 marks 50 years since the start of China's Cultural 2361 02:30:00,960 --> 02:30:04,500 Revolution. The decade long shift resulted in an estimated 2 2362 02:30:04,500 --> 02:30:08,130 million deaths alongside widespread abuse, displacement, 2363 02:30:08,130 --> 02:30:11,190 public humiliation and torture. At the time, little was 2364 02:30:11,190 --> 02:30:14,310 understood about the causes and devastating outcomes of the 2365 02:30:14,310 --> 02:30:17,790 revolution. However, newly released archives have shed 2366 02:30:17,790 --> 02:30:21,600 light on this dark period of China's modern history of so now 2367 02:30:21,600 --> 02:30:25,290 half a century later. What do we know about China's Cultural 2368 02:30:25,290 --> 02:30:28,740 Revolution while the revolution was predominantly Chairman 2369 02:30:28,740 --> 02:30:32,220 Moussa dongs attempt to establish himself as the leader 2370 02:30:32,220 --> 02:30:34,860 of the Communist world by reading the country of 2371 02:30:34,860 --> 02:30:38,430 capitalism and its long standing traditions. After Mao's 2372 02:30:38,430 --> 02:30:42,540 Communist Party to power in 1949, the Soviet Union's new 2373 02:30:42,540 --> 02:30:45,870 leader Nikita Khrushchev denounced his predecessor Joseph 2374 02:30:45,870 --> 02:30:49,710 Stalin, and began to D Stalin eyes the USSR seeing 2375 02:30:49,710 --> 02:30:53,370 similarities between himself and Stalin. Mao began to fear a 2376 02:30:53,370 --> 02:30:58,320 similar fate for himself. So in 1958, Mao launched a national 2377 02:30:58,320 --> 02:31:01,710 campaign to boost China's economy called the Great Leap 2378 02:31:01,710 --> 02:31:05,400 Forward, which radically redistributed land among China's 2379 02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:09,510 rural population and organized workers into communes. The Great 2380 02:31:09,510 --> 02:31:12,930 Leap Forward failed miserably decimating the economy and 2381 02:31:12,930 --> 02:31:16,260 diminishing Mao's role within the ruling party. To regain 2382 02:31:16,260 --> 02:31:20,010 control mal united with like minded radicals, including his 2383 02:31:20,010 --> 02:31:23,490 wife and defense minister Lin Biao to launch the Cultural 2384 02:31:23,490 --> 02:31:24,270 Revolution. 2385 02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:26,610 Yeah, 2386 02:31:26,730 --> 02:31:30,870 so it was done to retain power at the end of the day that's 2387 02:31:30,870 --> 02:31:34,980 what it was all about gaining power. But you heard like 2388 02:31:35,010 --> 02:31:37,830 parents kids turning on parents and 2389 02:31:38,490 --> 02:31:41,250 turning a man even turning him like like we're seeing now with 2390 02:31:41,250 --> 02:31:42,240 climate change. 2391 02:31:43,199 --> 02:31:48,929 Yeah. And mask and we saw with the with the Roma, right if you 2392 02:31:48,929 --> 02:31:50,339 see somebody outside call 2393 02:31:50,369 --> 02:31:54,419 Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, kids kids calling on their parents, 2394 02:31:54,419 --> 02:31:55,979 you know, that's, that's harsh. 2395 02:31:56,640 --> 02:32:00,930 Well, that's what we've been through this before. Because I 2396 02:32:00,930 --> 02:32:06,360 was in school at this time. Is your parents abusive? This is 2397 02:32:06,360 --> 02:32:09,450 one of the big cultural changes that I went through as a child 2398 02:32:09,450 --> 02:32:12,870 was, can you spank your kids or not? Yo, yeah. Right? That was 2399 02:32:12,870 --> 02:32:16,440 the big argument. Can you spank your kids not? And it was like a 2400 02:32:16,440 --> 02:32:19,710 if you if your parents do anything, here's a number. And 2401 02:32:19,710 --> 02:32:23,880 you can call them you know, all your parents. And that really 2402 02:32:25,320 --> 02:32:28,950 powerful structure between the child and the parent. Of course, 2403 02:32:28,950 --> 02:32:33,540 my mom, Mama facts, she said, You bet if you call them you bet 2404 02:32:33,540 --> 02:32:35,070 how they get here by time I kill you. 2405 02:32:37,710 --> 02:32:43,530 Okay, my mom. My mom had the hairbrush. And her threat was 2406 02:32:44,970 --> 02:32:49,560 Adam Curry. And now she would do Adam Clarke Curry is going to be 2407 02:32:49,560 --> 02:32:55,560 bristle side down. Huh, it was was was, was really stiff 2408 02:32:55,560 --> 02:33:00,210 brushes, you know, like, with the metal prongs. 2409 02:33:00,690 --> 02:33:03,600 But that was the threat. Like I said, we've been here before 2410 02:33:03,930 --> 02:33:09,300 kids calling, calling the authorities on their parents. So 2411 02:33:09,360 --> 02:33:12,780 this is just another iteration of that. But now it's often not 2412 02:33:12,810 --> 02:33:14,010 actions, but thoughts. 2413 02:33:14,160 --> 02:33:18,480 And now the kids actually have a cell phone. Yeah. And speed 2414 02:33:18,480 --> 02:33:18,930 dial. 2415 02:33:19,560 --> 02:33:25,560 Right? It's always like, oh, but it's, I just find it like it's 2416 02:33:25,860 --> 02:33:30,690 scary in one sense, because I know how fragile these things 2417 02:33:30,690 --> 02:33:33,990 are, and how fast they can spin out of control. And I don't 2418 02:33:33,990 --> 02:33:38,790 think the people in play don't take that very seriously are 2419 02:33:38,790 --> 02:33:42,840 serious enough what they're playing with. So I guess we can, 2420 02:33:43,110 --> 02:33:46,590 we can get to the second clip of the Cultural Revolution. 2421 02:33:46,920 --> 02:33:51,480 Conference in May of 1966. Mao claimed that bourgeois ideas had 2422 02:33:51,480 --> 02:33:54,450 crept into society and the government, and that these 2423 02:33:54,450 --> 02:33:57,900 elements could only be removed the violent class struggle. In 2424 02:33:57,900 --> 02:34:01,050 the months that followed, Mao shut down China's schools and 2425 02:34:01,050 --> 02:34:04,500 mobilized students into paramilitary units called Red 2426 02:34:04,500 --> 02:34:07,860 Guards. The groups attacked and killed teachers, intellectuals, 2427 02:34:07,890 --> 02:34:11,850 and eventually ordinary people they suspected of undermining 2428 02:34:11,850 --> 02:34:14,640 the communist system. The movement infiltrated the 2429 02:34:14,640 --> 02:34:18,630 military workers and even the ruling party itself by the late 2430 02:34:18,630 --> 02:34:22,410 1960s 10s of 1000s had been forced out of cities in an 2431 02:34:22,410 --> 02:34:26,730 effort to purify urban areas, and millions had suffered Rape, 2432 02:34:26,790 --> 02:34:30,480 Abuse, arbitrary imprisonment or torture. Some of the most 2433 02:34:30,480 --> 02:34:33,300 horrific violence occurred in rural villages in southern 2434 02:34:33,300 --> 02:34:36,180 China, where revolutionaries were known to practice 2435 02:34:36,180 --> 02:34:39,060 ritualistic cannibalism in the name of revolution. 2436 02:34:39,870 --> 02:34:40,560 Wow. 2437 02:34:41,280 --> 02:34:46,290 As far as opposition. So this happened, I think people don't 2438 02:34:46,410 --> 02:34:52,140 really appreciate how fragile civility is and always talk 2439 02:34:52,140 --> 02:34:56,190 about that proverbial glass and are we prepared? what's on the 2440 02:34:56,220 --> 02:34:58,920 other side of that glass breaking, you know of that 2441 02:34:58,920 --> 02:35:03,990 metaphorical glass? Breaking because the these families 2442 02:35:03,990 --> 02:35:10,200 killed it. It's very, it's very alarming. And that's why I've 2443 02:35:10,620 --> 02:35:15,660 tried to push the empathetic listening and understanding 2444 02:35:15,660 --> 02:35:20,220 because you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube on 2445 02:35:20,220 --> 02:35:21,480 these kinds of things. The 2446 02:35:21,480 --> 02:35:24,930 thing that's probably closest right now to what was happening 2447 02:35:24,930 --> 02:35:29,940 then is the sunrise movement. And if you followed them, so 2448 02:35:29,940 --> 02:35:33,540 it's predominantly young, young, young people, young children, or 2449 02:35:33,540 --> 02:35:38,430 children young. And they're very, they're very radical when 2450 02:35:38,430 --> 02:35:42,510 it comes to climate change. And they're just kids in my mind, 2451 02:35:42,720 --> 02:35:46,620 but they're the leadership of sunrise very, very radical. 2452 02:35:46,620 --> 02:35:50,640 Again, it's this, you know, people from the 60s with, with 2453 02:35:50,640 --> 02:35:56,130 true Marxist training from back in the day, and they're leading 2454 02:35:56,130 --> 02:36:01,890 them. So this definitely, definitely needs to be be looked 2455 02:36:01,890 --> 02:36:03,990 at scrutinized carefully, what's taking place. 2456 02:36:04,800 --> 02:36:09,360 We have to because as we hear with the military, they're being 2457 02:36:09,360 --> 02:36:12,690 pushed with the critical race theory people on their jobs are 2458 02:36:12,690 --> 02:36:19,920 being pushed with it. It's this constant, unsettling, as, as the 2459 02:36:19,920 --> 02:36:23,670 guy said before, object of anxiety. Yeah, it's the constant 2460 02:36:23,700 --> 02:36:28,260 the pushing of the object of anxiety. And then you have that 2461 02:36:28,260 --> 02:36:33,540 and then you have the DOJ directing the FBI to crack now. 2462 02:36:35,430 --> 02:36:38,760 Every day in this country, the government under Joe Biden or 2463 02:36:38,760 --> 02:36:42,750 whoever is running the joint infringes more and more upon our 2464 02:36:42,750 --> 02:36:46,650 freedoms, pushing Americans closer and closer to the edge, 2465 02:36:46,860 --> 02:36:50,820 the latest, the Attorney General of the United States instructing 2466 02:36:50,820 --> 02:36:54,570 the Department of Justice and the FBI to address threats 2467 02:36:54,570 --> 02:36:57,780 against school boards and teachers over COVID-19 2468 02:36:57,780 --> 02:37:02,310 restrictions, masks and critical race theory saying those threats 2469 02:37:02,310 --> 02:37:06,090 should be discouraged and prosecuted. The memo reads that, 2470 02:37:06,090 --> 02:37:09,600 quote, constitutional protections don't extend to 2471 02:37:09,600 --> 02:37:12,690 efforts to intimidate individuals based on their 2472 02:37:12,690 --> 02:37:19,050 views. Wait, what? upriver, the Constitution protects actions 2473 02:37:19,050 --> 02:37:22,350 and speech where individuals seek redress of their 2474 02:37:22,350 --> 02:37:26,370 grievances. Now however, the ag seeks to remove that 2475 02:37:26,370 --> 02:37:29,790 constitutional right, if you're a parent concerned about how 2476 02:37:29,790 --> 02:37:33,900 your children are being taught, the Doa j actually threatening 2477 02:37:33,900 --> 02:37:38,130 parents concerned about their children. But it's okay to 2478 02:37:38,130 --> 02:37:41,970 follow a US Senator into a bathroom and threatened to take 2479 02:37:41,970 --> 02:37:46,260 her out of office. It's okay for Black Lives Matter rioters to 2480 02:37:46,260 --> 02:37:49,710 intimidate and literally burn down our neighborhoods and 2481 02:37:49,710 --> 02:37:54,930 businesses. But Mama, don't even think about objecting to the 2482 02:37:54,960 --> 02:37:59,760 ideological racial hatred being hoisted upon your own children. 2483 02:38:00,570 --> 02:38:04,080 This is viewpoint discrimination, which is 2484 02:38:04,080 --> 02:38:08,160 particularly disfavored by the courts because it restricts 2485 02:38:08,160 --> 02:38:10,530 speech on a given subject matter 2486 02:38:12,750 --> 02:38:17,700 Yeah, it's you know, this whole DOJ going after the parents I 2487 02:38:17,700 --> 02:38:24,990 think that was more posturing than anything I'm not I'm not so 2488 02:38:24,990 --> 02:38:25,680 sure how it 2489 02:38:26,460 --> 02:38:32,940 is you know as and when they put stuff on the books just like 2490 02:38:32,940 --> 02:38:37,770 when you had the thing say Oh, where any terrorist anywhere we 2491 02:38:37,770 --> 02:38:41,160 can go after him. That's true. It's on the books on the boat 2492 02:38:41,160 --> 02:38:45,210 now and the only reason why they didn't they couldn't call people 2493 02:38:45,210 --> 02:38:48,510 domestic terrorists up until this point because you had to 2494 02:38:48,510 --> 02:38:54,420 have some official tie to a foreign terrorist group that's 2495 02:38:54,420 --> 02:38:58,560 the only reason they can't hit you with like domestic terrorism 2496 02:38:58,860 --> 02:39:05,190 charges now. I did that I found that out my studies and wormhole 2497 02:39:05,550 --> 02:39:08,520 On the January 6 thing that's the 2498 02:39:09,210 --> 02:39:11,640 starting that's where it started that's where they started 2499 02:39:11,640 --> 02:39:17,010 calling DVDs domestic violent extremists right so not not the 2500 02:39:17,010 --> 02:39:18,510 same as a terrorist 2501 02:39:19,410 --> 02:39:22,890 course not because a terrorist has to have ties to a foreign 2502 02:39:23,340 --> 02:39:24,540 terrorist operation but 2503 02:39:24,540 --> 02:39:25,770 yes, yeah, 2504 02:39:25,800 --> 02:39:28,650 I mean No, no, what I'm saying is by law by law that's if 2505 02:39:28,650 --> 02:39:31,620 you're gonna get charged, you had to have 2506 02:39:32,040 --> 02:39:35,250 remember during during Obama there was some change and became 2507 02:39:35,250 --> 02:39:40,410 enemy combatant and there, there are some, there's like some 2508 02:39:40,470 --> 02:39:44,130 wishy washy stuff they can just basically thing just pick you up 2509 02:39:44,130 --> 02:39:46,650 in black bag and throw you and get mo anytime they want. 2510 02:39:47,369 --> 02:39:49,649 Pretty much they have pretty much 2511 02:39:49,650 --> 02:39:49,950 it. 2512 02:39:50,460 --> 02:39:54,660 But that's my point. But it's on the books now that if you go to 2513 02:39:54,660 --> 02:39:59,010 the wrong PTA meeting and say the wrong thing, we heard the 2514 02:39:59,010 --> 02:40:04,290 story last Time of the guy that went to the Capitol didn't go 2515 02:40:04,290 --> 02:40:07,620 in. And that guy overheard him talking, his neighbor overheard 2516 02:40:07,620 --> 02:40:11,670 him talking about it, and called the Fed zone, right? So I mean, 2517 02:40:11,670 --> 02:40:14,100 let's not think this is far fetched, and this is where my 2518 02:40:14,100 --> 02:40:18,810 problem comes in it is because now no one can be critical of 2519 02:40:18,810 --> 02:40:22,200 the education their kids are getting, which infringes upon my 2520 02:40:22,200 --> 02:40:28,050 rights, because if I want to go and say I say my piece at a PTA 2521 02:40:28,050 --> 02:40:31,680 meeting or a school board meeting, I should have that 2522 02:40:31,680 --> 02:40:36,060 right. I'm not sure have that I had that right. Not should I 2523 02:40:36,060 --> 02:40:38,580 have that right. And it shouldn't be afforded to me by 2524 02:40:38,580 --> 02:40:42,480 the First Amendment, and it shouldn't be a fringe known. So 2525 02:40:42,750 --> 02:40:45,990 this is where the rubber meets the road at for people like me, 2526 02:40:46,320 --> 02:40:49,800 is that y'all can do whatever y'all want to do. But you start 2527 02:40:50,280 --> 02:40:54,630 saying, I can't voice my opinion on an anti v entity that 2528 02:40:54,630 --> 02:40:58,380 controls like, 1/3 of my kids day. And I have a problem with 2529 02:40:58,380 --> 02:40:58,620 that. 2530 02:40:58,710 --> 02:41:01,110 I have correspond with that. Have you been to a school 2531 02:41:01,110 --> 02:41:02,160 meaning school board meeting? 2532 02:41:02,460 --> 02:41:07,500 I have not. I live in a county that the school superintendent 2533 02:41:07,890 --> 02:41:13,800 is a I want to say not say Aunty, but he's not in favor 2534 02:41:13,800 --> 02:41:18,240 mask. If you want your kids not to wear a mask, that's possible. 2535 02:41:18,270 --> 02:41:22,410 They were one of the earliest schools that went back. So it's 2536 02:41:22,410 --> 02:41:28,500 really like a it's kind of like a red stronghold in Northern 2537 02:41:28,500 --> 02:41:32,400 Virginia. I mean, you see the demographics kind of changing, 2538 02:41:32,400 --> 02:41:37,140 but I'm ground zero here in Northern Virginia. The county I 2539 02:41:37,140 --> 02:41:41,160 live in, it leans more red, and scoot in the school 2540 02:41:41,160 --> 02:41:47,850 superintendent. He's not anti mass, but he's, you can get 2541 02:41:47,850 --> 02:41:51,120 waivers. So your kids are having to wear masks to school, and, 2542 02:41:51,660 --> 02:41:55,290 you know, was one of the first early schools in this area to go 2543 02:41:55,290 --> 02:41:59,790 back to full day last year. So I'm gonna say it's just, it's 2544 02:41:59,790 --> 02:42:04,140 just weird. And I was gonna go to the school board meetings and 2545 02:42:04,140 --> 02:42:06,420 make a first but then I was like, you know, what, just sever 2546 02:42:06,420 --> 02:42:09,990 ties with the entity? And then do it and do them kind of 2547 02:42:09,990 --> 02:42:11,190 satisfy my dad. 2548 02:42:12,630 --> 02:42:15,090 Just gonna say and then just do an episode of MO facts. 2549 02:42:17,340 --> 02:42:22,800 I could, yeah, I could definitely do that. Um, it's 2550 02:42:23,970 --> 02:42:28,110 sad, because my dad, he's always been an educator, but 2551 02:42:28,110 --> 02:42:32,430 professionally, he was educator. And I never thought it would get 2552 02:42:32,430 --> 02:42:36,090 like this. But I saw the kind of handwriting on the wall when, 2553 02:42:36,570 --> 02:42:42,630 towards the end of his career as a teacher. It was just changing 2554 02:42:42,630 --> 02:42:48,300 so fast. So it can I say it's kind of sad. I mean, well, it's 2555 02:42:48,300 --> 02:42:50,610 sad. But it's also an opportunity more I think it's an 2556 02:42:50,610 --> 02:42:54,300 opportunity for the the people and the communities themselves 2557 02:42:54,300 --> 02:42:58,620 to retool, recreate their own their new schooling system. 2558 02:42:59,790 --> 02:43:07,980 I mean, I will say this, I mean, I do. I am a owner of certain 2559 02:43:07,980 --> 02:43:12,420 privileges that I've worked from home. You know, so that does 2560 02:43:12,420 --> 02:43:18,180 help. All parents don't have that option. So that's one of 2561 02:43:18,180 --> 02:43:21,810 the difficult things. I say. I think school could be 2562 02:43:21,810 --> 02:43:27,510 reimagined. I think that it could definitely be changes to 2563 02:43:27,510 --> 02:43:29,940 be made where you don't have to, I mean, it doesn't have to be 2564 02:43:29,940 --> 02:43:31,920 binary, like no public schools anymore. 2565 02:43:32,220 --> 02:43:35,790 No, but I think I think it has to be reimagined. Well, it has 2566 02:43:35,790 --> 02:43:36,210 to be 2567 02:43:36,359 --> 02:43:39,269 it has no, I totally agree with you on that. It has to be 2568 02:43:39,269 --> 02:43:40,739 reimagined, but it can't fix 2569 02:43:40,740 --> 02:43:44,580 this. What's happened here is is no longer fixable. It just has 2570 02:43:44,580 --> 02:43:50,970 to be redone. I really, I really believe that I really think that 2571 02:43:51,630 --> 02:43:55,560 there's so much middle management administration and 2572 02:43:55,710 --> 02:43:58,740 it's poison, it's just poison, but I don't think you can cut 2573 02:43:58,740 --> 02:43:59,670 the poison out. 2574 02:44:00,150 --> 02:44:04,380 If the union's I mentioned that. Yeah, let's just keep it I mean, 2575 02:44:04,680 --> 02:44:07,110 right. Well, the problem is that it's the unions and I know we 2576 02:44:07,110 --> 02:44:10,230 have teachers out there but the unions even get in the teachers 2577 02:44:10,230 --> 02:44:20,250 way. This is one of the problems is that teachers are underpaid. 2578 02:44:20,670 --> 02:44:25,020 The quality of teachers lateral entry I mean, there's 2579 02:44:26,400 --> 02:44:30,750 no I know a lot of teachers and yes, there are technology 2580 02:44:30,750 --> 02:44:36,060 issues. they complete the whole lockdown was a mess, was a mess. 2581 02:44:36,420 --> 02:44:40,470 But why did it have to be that's why I don't understand of the 2582 02:44:40,740 --> 02:44:46,710 zoom. Why is it so hard to teach? We have Khan Academy, we 2583 02:44:46,710 --> 02:44:51,360 have all these things. Why's it that is so hard to get students 2584 02:44:51,360 --> 02:44:53,520 in front of teachers. I know I don't understand what the 2585 02:44:53,520 --> 02:44:55,800 problem. I know what the problem is because they have these 2586 02:44:55,800 --> 02:44:59,880 contract deals with these. These providers and these people that 2587 02:44:59,880 --> 02:45:01,560 come systems that that's 2588 02:45:01,560 --> 02:45:08,910 part of it, that that's part of the problem. The very, it's not 2589 02:45:08,910 --> 02:45:13,350 that easy to teach via zoom, certainly if you've never been 2590 02:45:13,350 --> 02:45:18,750 doing it. And I and I, my only, I have an example of this where, 2591 02:45:18,900 --> 02:45:23,400 several years ago, I did a speech at a college in New 2592 02:45:23,400 --> 02:45:27,870 Jersey, in a media class. And I was invited back to do that 2593 02:45:27,900 --> 02:45:32,820 again, during the during the Rona. So the first time I was at 2594 02:45:32,820 --> 02:45:36,570 the school, and all the students were in the auditorium. The 2595 02:45:36,570 --> 02:45:42,180 second time, I was on zoom, and I had 26 windows. And in soccer 2596 02:45:42,180 --> 02:45:46,920 balls, you cannot make contact you cannot get and some of them 2597 02:45:46,920 --> 02:45:49,590 were actually interested. So it's not just a bunch of kids 2598 02:45:49,590 --> 02:45:55,110 who are forced to sit there, you cannot get the human contact 2599 02:45:55,110 --> 02:46:00,210 that is critical for communicating ideas. It's not 2600 02:46:00,210 --> 02:46:03,570 there. And I'm sure that you know, distance learning and of 2601 02:46:03,570 --> 02:46:07,980 course, lots of people do colleges, etc. But for young for 2602 02:46:07,980 --> 02:46:10,860 young students, I think it's it's almost impossible for 2603 02:46:10,860 --> 02:46:13,440 teachers to convey anything. Certainly if you're talking 2604 02:46:13,440 --> 02:46:16,170 classrooms of 2030 strong, 2605 02:46:16,619 --> 02:46:20,069 I'll push back against that, okay, because the kids have no 2606 02:46:20,069 --> 02:46:21,719 problem connecting when they're gaming. 2607 02:46:23,400 --> 02:46:27,750 Oh, listen to what I'm saying. The teachers, the teachers don't 2608 02:46:27,750 --> 02:46:30,630 know how to do it. The teachers don't know how the kids 2609 02:46:30,630 --> 02:46:34,800 understand. The teachers do not know how to teach in this 2610 02:46:34,800 --> 02:46:35,310 manner. 2611 02:46:36,510 --> 02:46:41,070 No, I agree this, what I'm saying is that, but why are we 2612 02:46:41,070 --> 02:46:44,400 not trying to fix the problem is because the teachers don't want 2613 02:46:44,400 --> 02:46:47,550 to be phased out? Or this I mean, it's the same conversation 2614 02:46:47,550 --> 02:46:50,820 we're having with the media, right? media doesn't fit the 2615 02:46:50,820 --> 02:46:55,740 system to get good points. Yeah, it's the same thing. Do we 2616 02:46:56,040 --> 02:46:58,350 restrict the kids because the kids have no problem with 2617 02:46:58,350 --> 02:46:58,980 connecting? Well, I 2618 02:46:58,980 --> 02:47:01,920 actually liked your idea there. I mean, I liked the gaming idea, 2619 02:47:01,920 --> 02:47:04,980 I think if kids could go in and could do like a grand theft 2620 02:47:05,010 --> 02:47:07,860 auto, except, you know, it's their teacher, their shooting, 2621 02:47:10,650 --> 02:47:12,870 engage that will be very engaging, right? 2622 02:47:14,460 --> 02:47:20,460 Like you have a little like, and what I'm saying is, I don't 2623 02:47:20,640 --> 02:47:26,250 accept that it can't be done. Because that's not how we think, 2624 02:47:26,250 --> 02:47:29,490 right? I mean, you're podcasting. So I mean, 2625 02:47:30,000 --> 02:47:32,910 it can be done, I'm just saying, I don't know if it makes sense 2626 02:47:32,910 --> 02:47:35,730 to try and fix these people. 2627 02:47:37,350 --> 02:47:40,470 First of all, the quality is the quality of teachers. I mean, 2628 02:47:40,470 --> 02:47:46,680 just keep it 1000. You can walk in with a four year degree and 2629 02:47:46,680 --> 02:47:50,400 lateral entry, and walk into a classroom in a very short period 2630 02:47:50,400 --> 02:47:52,890 of time. Of course, I don't want to generalize because it's 2631 02:47:52,890 --> 02:47:56,220 different from state to state. But with lateral entry, you 2632 02:47:56,220 --> 02:48:00,240 don't have to have a four year teaching degree with the you 2633 02:48:00,240 --> 02:48:03,360 know, saying with this kind of work, being a nurse, it's like, 2634 02:48:03,510 --> 02:48:05,760 they're saying, okay, you have a four year degree you can come be 2635 02:48:05,760 --> 02:48:08,550 a nurse, and they will teach you how to be a nurse on the fly. 2636 02:48:08,580 --> 02:48:15,390 Right? What I really that's that's that's what we're doing 2637 02:48:15,390 --> 02:48:17,640 with it. I'm most prized possession, not children. 2638 02:48:18,930 --> 02:48:21,690 Unfortunately, yes. So that's 2639 02:48:21,690 --> 02:48:24,570 where it's broken, man. But you want to keep the wages down 2640 02:48:24,570 --> 02:48:29,070 because the unions need to make their cut. So they can be at 2641 02:48:29,070 --> 02:48:29,730 airports. 2642 02:48:29,940 --> 02:48:33,510 As I said, I think homeschooling is the way to go. I think you're 2643 02:48:33,510 --> 02:48:34,590 doing a good thing there. 2644 02:48:34,860 --> 02:48:38,100 I think hybrid is the way to go. I'll just say that there's some 2645 02:48:38,100 --> 02:48:42,330 kind there's some kind of Win Win there. But with that said, 2646 02:48:43,890 --> 02:48:46,920 we got to go Thanks for more people that allow us to do what 2647 02:48:46,920 --> 02:48:49,830 we do. I like brand new money. I just I don't want any money 2648 02:48:49,830 --> 02:48:54,480 around me. It's not I'd almost rather have a new one than a 2649 02:48:54,480 --> 02:48:58,320 brand and then an old 20 that's kind of dumb and but there's 2650 02:48:58,320 --> 02:49:03,030 some bad new money that excites you like $100 bills. I owe money 2651 02:49:03,030 --> 02:49:07,440 to the most beautiful thing on earth is $100.

Yes. So I thought maybe we should call it 2761 02:56:42,000 --> 02:56:48,330 the COVID-19 vaccine. I'm from Mr. Stephen Covey of Seven 2762 02:56:48,330 --> 02:56:52,830 Habits of Highly Effective People. This is something I want 2763 02:56:52,830 --> 02:56:56,160 to start doing because it was so well received empathetic 2764 02:56:56,160 --> 02:57:01,230 listening, I think we can make this not every show, but just 2765 02:57:01,230 --> 02:57:04,260 make sure we give people a booster every now and again on 2766 02:57:04,260 --> 02:57:11,040 their COVID-19 a vaccine. So this one is synergy. It should 2767 02:57:11,040 --> 02:57:11,340 help. 2768 02:57:11,640 --> 02:57:19,470 Habit six synergize in a sense, is the fruit of the spirit of 2769 02:57:19,470 --> 02:57:25,710 Win Win habit for the spirit of seeking first to understand then 2770 02:57:25,710 --> 02:57:30,690 to be understood. Habit five, then what happens is a very 2771 02:57:30,690 --> 02:57:35,070 powerful thing. When people begin to interact together 2772 02:57:35,070 --> 02:57:38,640 genuinely and they're open to each other's influence, they 2773 02:57:38,640 --> 02:57:44,160 begin to get new insight. Something happens to them both. 2774 02:57:44,820 --> 02:57:50,130 It creates the possibility of third alternatives. Not the 2775 02:57:50,160 --> 02:57:56,220 either or approach, not win lose, lose win, not compromise. 2776 02:57:56,490 --> 02:58:01,950 compromise is one plus one equals one and a half positives 2777 02:58:01,980 --> 02:58:09,930 synergy is one plus one equals three negative synergy one plus 2778 02:58:09,930 --> 02:58:16,020 one equals one half in other words so much of the effort and 2779 02:58:16,020 --> 02:58:19,200 energy is spent in the add the serialism 2780 02:58:20,400 --> 02:58:21,960 It's been a while since I've heard him 2781 02:58:22,920 --> 02:58:25,860 There's your booster There's your third booster shot folks 2782 02:58:25,949 --> 02:58:28,169 that should do it good to go now 2783 02:58:30,420 --> 02:58:34,860 Yeah, but in all seriousness, that's how you beat this thing 2784 02:58:34,890 --> 02:58:39,750 is is the empathetic listening is this energy is to seek first 2785 02:58:39,750 --> 02:58:43,410 to understand then to be understood because we don't want 2786 02:58:43,410 --> 02:58:46,650 to end up like Mao's China no and I know people like all that 2787 02:58:46,650 --> 02:58:48,480 their roll their eyes But yeah, 2788 02:58:48,480 --> 02:58:52,770 no no no, that's whoever thought would see vaccine mandates over 2789 02:58:52,770 --> 02:58:56,430 thought was locked down our whole country. Ah, time for that 2790 02:58:56,430 --> 02:58:57,300 is over. 2791 02:58:57,750 --> 02:59:02,010 That's why I'm so aggressive about pushing, you know, the 2792 02:59:02,310 --> 02:59:08,070 information of just understanding because you even 2793 02:59:08,100 --> 02:59:12,090 poopoo the fact that well, it's just the DOJ and you know 2794 02:59:12,090 --> 02:59:14,520 they're just put no just put something on the books that kind 2795 02:59:14,520 --> 02:59:18,210 of posturing thing, but Dick Durbin is very serious. And this 2796 02:59:18,210 --> 02:59:25,380 was him at the Kristin Clark's, um, a confirmation hearings. And 2797 02:59:25,380 --> 02:59:29,430 I just I found I heard these two clips not found on troubling. So 2798 02:59:29,430 --> 02:59:32,130 if people don't know this background, this is Senator Dick 2799 02:59:32,130 --> 02:59:35,520 Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois. He's the one that gave 2800 02:59:35,520 --> 02:59:41,490 us Obama basically. Back Back when Obama was running, and now 2801 02:59:41,490 --> 02:59:46,680 he's back at it again given us. Kristin Carr who is was then the 2802 02:59:46,680 --> 02:59:51,870 nominee for the leaf Civil Rights Division at the DOJ T was 2803 02:59:51,870 --> 02:59:55,860 confirmed but here's her, him speaking on her confirmation. 2804 02:59:56,190 --> 03:00:00,480 As he note on his neck, he stared into a camera. With a 2805 03:00:00,480 --> 03:00:06,390 walk with a look that haunts me to this day, those nine minutes 2806 03:00:06,390 --> 03:00:12,060 and 29 seconds tooks George Floyd's life and changed 2807 03:00:12,060 --> 03:00:18,420 America's national conversation about law enforcement. Those 2808 03:00:18,420 --> 03:00:21,480 nine minutes and 29 seconds sparked a global movement and 2809 03:00:21,480 --> 03:00:26,880 compelled us to bear witness to the reality of racial injustice 2810 03:00:26,910 --> 03:00:31,740 in our country. In this Senate, we are in a privileged position 2811 03:00:32,640 --> 03:00:37,590 to face that reality and to continue America's long, 2812 03:00:38,280 --> 03:00:44,130 sometimes bitter march toward equal justice under law. That is 2813 03:00:44,130 --> 03:00:47,850 why I rise today in support of Kristin Clark's nomination to be 2814 03:00:47,850 --> 03:00:50,730 Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the 2815 03:00:50,730 --> 03:00:56,070 Department of Justice. It's worth noting the history of this 2816 03:00:56,160 --> 03:00:59,670 position. The Civil Rights Division is one of the most 2817 03:00:59,670 --> 03:01:03,870 important components of the Justice Department. The Attorney 2818 03:01:03,870 --> 03:01:08,760 General's Office has existed since 1789. The Justice 2819 03:01:08,760 --> 03:01:12,090 Department itself was not created until after our Civil 2820 03:01:12,090 --> 03:01:16,650 War. During the days of reconstruction after that war, 2821 03:01:17,100 --> 03:01:20,310 our nation resolve to take new steps to make a more perfect 2822 03:01:20,310 --> 03:01:24,000 union through the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery 2823 03:01:24,000 --> 03:01:27,930 slavery, the 14th Amendment's guarantee of due process and 2824 03:01:27,930 --> 03:01:31,770 equal protection and the 15th amendments protection of all 2825 03:01:31,770 --> 03:01:33,960 citizens fundamental right to vote. 2826 03:01:36,300 --> 03:01:43,230 Always nice to see a Jamaican coming in to see to protect our 2827 03:01:43,260 --> 03:01:44,730 our African Americans. 2828 03:01:45,150 --> 03:01:49,410 Yes, so that's one thing and just for all clarity, she is 2829 03:01:49,410 --> 03:01:54,150 married to a white man, we all know the horrors. Now what I 2830 03:01:54,150 --> 03:01:57,570 mean by that is that it's amazing that these people they 2831 03:01:57,570 --> 03:01:59,370 get to be so 2832 03:02:01,710 --> 03:02:03,900 well, they're above they're above it, they have special 2833 03:02:03,900 --> 03:02:07,650 privileges and rights. You know, it's like they can they can do 2834 03:02:07,770 --> 03:02:08,850 whatever they want. 2835 03:02:09,779 --> 03:02:13,289 Which is you can match who you want, you can love who you want. 2836 03:02:13,679 --> 03:02:22,589 My issue is that perspective. If you're dedicate your life to 2837 03:02:22,589 --> 03:02:26,069 race and those kinds of things, you think one of those things is 2838 03:02:26,069 --> 03:02:30,269 passing those genetics on to you know, inside the culture. But it 2839 03:02:30,269 --> 03:02:33,959 doesn't seem that way. And I think in in what my problem is 2840 03:02:33,959 --> 03:02:39,779 this. When you look at Suzanne rice, when you look at Kamala 2841 03:02:39,779 --> 03:02:43,799 Harris, when you look at this lady, it's a train there. What 2842 03:02:43,799 --> 03:02:44,729 is the trend? 2843 03:02:45,630 --> 03:02:49,140 Yeah, of course, I see the trend, the trend is non non 2844 03:02:49,140 --> 03:02:51,630 African American African Americans. 2845 03:02:53,430 --> 03:02:56,910 Right, that's that's my point. Like, how are you finding all 2846 03:02:56,910 --> 03:03:00,780 these non African American African? or What can you say non 2847 03:03:00,780 --> 03:03:03,930 African American African Americans, right? Why you find 2848 03:03:03,960 --> 03:03:04,560 all these? 2849 03:03:04,920 --> 03:03:06,990 Well, it doesn't matter because they're dark. 2850 03:03:08,880 --> 03:03:13,800 That's my point. My point is the perspective is lost. Because 2851 03:03:13,830 --> 03:03:17,400 even if you married a black American man, and a reason why 2852 03:03:17,400 --> 03:03:21,030 I'm saying this is because this was so important, important. 2853 03:03:22,260 --> 03:03:23,490 brock obama's 2854 03:03:24,150 --> 03:03:25,080 that he had that he had 2855 03:03:25,530 --> 03:03:32,460 a career, right, why is it not? in reverse? The same thing? Why 2856 03:03:32,460 --> 03:03:35,790 are we not course if Obama was merits and we're just gonna pull 2857 03:03:35,790 --> 03:03:39,510 the rug back for a minute, if Obama was married to a white 2858 03:03:39,510 --> 03:03:43,440 woman, he will lose all racial credibility? Let's just keep 2859 03:03:43,440 --> 03:03:47,130 this closely. But why is it not reciprocal? 2860 03:03:49,080 --> 03:03:50,520 Because it's not fair. 2861 03:03:51,960 --> 03:03:53,490 Now, I'm just saying like, I mean, 2862 03:03:53,519 --> 03:03:57,389 I mean, why Yeah, big obviously, because Shut up, just shut up. 2863 03:03:58,439 --> 03:04:01,979 They'll do whatever they want. I mean, it's, it's hypocritical. 2864 03:04:02,009 --> 03:04:03,989 It's, it's, it's crazy. 2865 03:04:04,920 --> 03:04:08,340 Right? And but if you when you point that out, like I said, If 2866 03:04:08,370 --> 03:04:11,700 Obama and Obama was aware of this, he knew he had to marry a 2867 03:04:11,700 --> 03:04:15,510 Michelle is not say, Michelle itself, but he hadn't married a 2868 03:04:15,510 --> 03:04:18,930 Michelle. It was he was saying it was he knew how it would be 2869 03:04:18,930 --> 03:04:21,390 perceived, because they're like, well, you're not really one of 2870 03:04:21,420 --> 03:04:25,950 us. But the fact that he was caught in that that gave him the 2871 03:04:25,950 --> 03:04:30,360 credit. Exactly. So I'm just wondering why it's not that's 2872 03:04:30,360 --> 03:04:33,570 why I raised the issue of her race of her spouse, or 2873 03:04:33,570 --> 03:04:37,350 interesting or her lineage because it's just not it's not. 2874 03:04:38,130 --> 03:04:39,210 It's not fair. I think the 2875 03:04:39,210 --> 03:04:41,970 lineage I think that said as a trend, I think that's 2876 03:04:41,970 --> 03:04:43,200 interesting observation. 2877 03:04:46,140 --> 03:04:50,490 It was the combination of both for me. Sure, like this was this 2878 03:04:50,490 --> 03:04:53,940 there. And I'm asking this from the point of why is this the 2879 03:04:53,940 --> 03:05:00,600 combination that the powers that be are pushing to the top Cuz we 2880 03:05:00,600 --> 03:05:03,990 all know that in these positions, you're kind of hand 2881 03:05:03,990 --> 03:05:09,540 picked to be groomed for these positions. Definitely early on 2882 03:05:09,540 --> 03:05:13,680 in your career. So what is going on here? So with that said, 2883 03:05:14,040 --> 03:05:16,080 let's get into the second clip from Durban. 2884 03:05:16,860 --> 03:05:21,090 The Department of Justice was created after the passage of 2885 03:05:21,090 --> 03:05:24,330 those amendments and entrusted with the responsibility to 2886 03:05:24,330 --> 03:05:28,590 defend the rights of Americans, particularly the newly 2887 03:05:28,620 --> 03:05:33,510 emancipated, formerly enslaved Americans. Given the 2888 03:05:33,510 --> 03:05:36,300 department's immediate imperative to protect and 2889 03:05:36,300 --> 03:05:40,890 preserve civil rights, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Amos 2890 03:05:40,920 --> 03:05:44,400 Ackerman to be the first Attorney General to lead this 2891 03:05:44,400 --> 03:05:49,170 new department. Why he had extensive experience in 2892 03:05:49,170 --> 03:05:53,820 prosecuting voter intimidation as the US Attorney in the state 2893 03:05:53,820 --> 03:05:58,800 of Georgia. More than 150 years later, the Civil Rights Division 2894 03:05:58,800 --> 03:06:01,710 the Justice Department, now is entrusted with that 2895 03:06:01,710 --> 03:06:05,970 constitutional responsibility. The Division enforces federal 2896 03:06:05,970 --> 03:06:08,820 statutes prohibiting discrimination based on race, 2897 03:06:09,000 --> 03:06:14,880 color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, 2898 03:06:15,270 --> 03:06:20,340 religion, national origin and citizenship status. And justice, 2899 03:06:20,340 --> 03:06:24,000 President Grant appointed a legal expert with a breadth of 2900 03:06:24,000 --> 03:06:27,330 experience to lead the newly formed Justice Department in 2901 03:06:27,330 --> 03:06:33,840 1870. Today, President Joe Biden has chosen Kristin Clark to take 2902 03:06:33,840 --> 03:06:38,370 up the mantle as the head of the Civil Rights Division. With her 2903 03:06:38,370 --> 03:06:41,370 breadth of experience defending the civil rights of all 2904 03:06:41,370 --> 03:06:45,390 Americans, Kristin Clark is singularly qualified to lead 2905 03:06:45,390 --> 03:06:49,890 this division, particularly at this moment in history. And 2906 03:06:49,890 --> 03:06:55,380 Madam President, Kristin Clark, will be the first senate 2907 03:06:55,380 --> 03:06:58,920 confirmed woman of color to do so. The first 2908 03:07:00,120 --> 03:07:04,110 and there it is, that's what counts. That's what is it that 2909 03:07:04,200 --> 03:07:07,830 who really cares if she's any good? She'll be a woman. She's 2910 03:07:07,830 --> 03:07:08,340 dark. 2911 03:07:09,360 --> 03:07:11,520 Yes, but the reason we did 2912 03:07:12,300 --> 03:07:15,360 I'm sorry, did he actually say African American woman just want 2913 03:07:15,360 --> 03:07:18,030 us to know color woman of color. Okay, so 2914 03:07:18,030 --> 03:07:21,780 he had that right. All right. Yes. The woman of color like I 2915 03:07:21,780 --> 03:07:29,790 said, when I bring this up is because Clarence Thomas was 2916 03:07:29,820 --> 03:07:34,860 railroaded and written down because of who he married. You 2917 03:07:34,860 --> 03:07:40,470 see this why is this different? It's not really a but I have to 2918 03:07:40,470 --> 03:07:47,130 point this out. Now I'll digress a bit but I want to go back to 2919 03:07:47,130 --> 03:07:53,040 another point. Amos anchorman Why did he invoke that name?

And then they come out in 2954 03:10:19,230 --> 03:10:22,050 the end into they're talking 2955 03:10:23,280 --> 03:10:24,360 with Esther police. 2956 03:10:25,530 --> 03:10:28,590 So no, they went into the ads of saying these the after police 2957 03:10:28,590 --> 03:10:29,070 products 2958 03:10:29,100 --> 03:10:32,250 Oh, I gotcha. wondering like what what what, what? 2959 03:10:33,060 --> 03:10:38,100 I'm not getting flack for that?

Oh my gosh. You know, what I love 2964 03:10:58,830 --> 03:11:01,920 is being back from ads, because it means that we can talk more 2965 03:11:01,920 --> 03:11:05,820 about the horrific history of racism and law enforcement 2966 03:11:05,820 --> 03:11:06,180 terror 2967 03:11:06,180 --> 03:11:10,620 and trauma that's it's in my DNA and passed on generationally. 2968 03:11:12,180 --> 03:11:12,750 Yes, 2969 03:11:13,530 --> 03:11:18,600 she had a had an air horn there. So in 1870, President Grant 2970 03:11:18,600 --> 03:11:21,750 began to lobby Congress to give him power to do something about 2971 03:11:21,750 --> 03:11:25,980 the Klan. Because again, local law enforcement was actively 2972 03:11:25,980 --> 03:11:30,780 aiding and abetting the KKK. In 1870 and 1871. Congress passed 2973 03:11:30,780 --> 03:11:33,630 the enforcement acts. These protected the rights of black 2974 03:11:33,630 --> 03:11:36,360 men to vote hold office and serve on juries and generally 2975 03:11:36,360 --> 03:11:40,020 enjoy equal protection under the law. The Ku Klux Klan acts, as 2976 03:11:40,020 --> 03:11:42,480 they came to be known allowed President Grant to call up the 2977 03:11:42,480 --> 03:11:45,630 army to order in order to arrest and break up the bands of 2978 03:11:45,630 --> 03:11:49,800 disguised night marauders. And we're gonna be like 99% critical 2979 03:11:49,800 --> 03:11:52,050 of law enforcement on this podcast, but we got to be fair 2980 03:11:52,050 --> 03:11:55,050 when it's important to be fair, and federal law enforcement did 2981 03:11:55,050 --> 03:11:59,340 a pretty decent job on breaking up the Klan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2982 03:12:00,180 --> 03:12:03,210 This is, this is where things get really complicated prop 2983 03:12:03,210 --> 03:12:06,840 because a lot of the credit for this goes to Amos Ackerman, the 2984 03:12:06,840 --> 03:12:10,080 Attorney General of the United States, Ackerman joined the 2985 03:12:10,080 --> 03:12:12,660 republican party after the Civil War and became one of the 2986 03:12:12,660 --> 03:12:15,630 nation's most strenuous advocates for black suffrage. He 2987 03:12:15,630 --> 03:12:19,050 was like, black people have the right to vote and hold office 2988 03:12:19,050 --> 03:12:22,380 and we will I will make sure we enforce this with fucking 2989 03:12:22,380 --> 03:12:23,700 riflemen if we have to. 2990 03:12:24,960 --> 03:12:30,630 Okay, now, yeah, he's serious. He says hardcore. And we're so 2991 03:12:30,960 --> 03:12:34,950 um, you heard what the Witcher had to deal with with ads? Oh, 2992 03:12:34,950 --> 03:12:35,160 yeah. 2993 03:12:36,119 --> 03:12:39,509 Hey, man, I couldn't believe that I was talking to Megyn 2994 03:12:39,509 --> 03:12:44,429 Kelly. And then she she took a break to sell genu sell, which 2995 03:12:44,429 --> 03:12:47,759 is some beauty product. It's sad. 2996 03:12:50,280 --> 03:12:52,620 You have this heavy conversation is like, Oh, we got to do a 2997 03:12:52,620 --> 03:12:55,170 break. And now we're back so we can talk more about this 2998 03:12:55,200 --> 03:12:58,530 oppressive racism. And the guy's like, yeah, this deep in my 2999 03:12:58,530 --> 03:13:03,930 genetics that I pass along. This podcast is so cringe. Everything 3000 03:13:03,930 --> 03:13:09,990 we do if you did it completely wrong. I'm sorry to say it but 3001 03:13:10,020 --> 03:13:14,580 um, yeah, but you heard him get strong with it. Oh, yeah, he 3002 03:13:14,580 --> 03:13:17,940 wouldn't force it with effin rifles he if he had to right. 3003 03:13:18,600 --> 03:13:22,560 Mr. Ackerman has a very interesting past before he 3004 03:13:22,710 --> 03:13:25,320 started working for the DOJ. And here's 3005 03:13:25,320 --> 03:13:28,050 where things get complicated because before he was a 3006 03:13:28,050 --> 03:13:32,370 republican before he was the Attorney General, Amos Ackerman 3007 03:13:32,370 --> 03:13:34,590 volunteered and fought in the Confederate Army. 3008 03:13:36,930 --> 03:13:41,970 People have layers of complication. People are 3009 03:13:41,970 --> 03:13:48,000 complicated they contain minis Yeah, and this is for Amos This 3010 03:13:48,000 --> 03:13:50,370 seems to have been like what it seems to been more a matter of 3011 03:13:50,370 --> 03:13:52,950 like you hear about these folks who are like really loyal to 3012 03:13:52,950 --> 03:13:56,130 their state for reasons Yeah, I have trouble understanding like 3013 03:13:56,160 --> 03:13:57,990 he doesn't seem to have joined the Confederate Army 3014 03:13:57,990 --> 03:14:01,050 specifically to fight for slavery although he fought for 3015 03:14:01,050 --> 03:14:03,360 slavery because that's what the get better at army fought for. 3016 03:14:03,510 --> 03:14:06,000 But in his mind I think it was more like I'm really loyal to 3017 03:14:06,000 --> 03:14:09,180 Georgia I don't know I can't get in the head of that guy but I 3018 03:14:09,180 --> 03:14:12,150 guess if you can make that up he tried to afterwards 3019 03:14:12,240 --> 03:14:14,400 yeah you know, 3020 03:14:14,430 --> 03:14:21,570 I want to give it to the possibility that people probably 3021 03:14:21,570 --> 03:14:25,500 hundreds of them at the time you know like you said just was like 3022 03:14:25,500 --> 03:14:28,320 look we're down here it is what we do we fight for our way of 3023 03:14:28,320 --> 03:14:31,680 life I guess that's right. And in the middle of that finally 3024 03:14:31,680 --> 03:14:35,460 had this like, you know, yeah, this is bullshit. You're saying 3025 03:14:35,460 --> 03:14:40,230 and was like, but if you'd only as person for miles talking like 3026 03:14:40,230 --> 03:14:45,750 this, it's probably hard to find some good community and you're 3027 03:14:45,750 --> 03:14:49,200 probably gonna fumble and then you become this guy to where 3028 03:14:49,200 --> 03:14:52,260 you're like, Hey, is one thing I can do. I could probably like 3029 03:14:52,290 --> 03:14:53,970 dismantle this clan thing. 3030 03:14:54,000 --> 03:14:55,470 That's the yeah thing to do. 3031 03:14:57,780 --> 03:15:01,050 Yeah, this is where you see how history is. Not being taught 3032 03:15:03,870 --> 03:15:04,560 crap 3033 03:15:06,420 --> 03:15:11,400 My issue is from the left there all of you have anything to do 3034 03:15:11,400 --> 03:15:14,880 with Confederacy. We got to tear down your fact right away 3035 03:15:14,910 --> 03:15:18,360 oh yeah right away. You gotta go looking at looking through the 3036 03:15:18,360 --> 03:15:20,970 2021 lens you look like a real racist 3037 03:15:21,450 --> 03:15:25,680 right within here it's like well you know he kind of knew 3038 03:15:25,680 --> 03:15:29,550 something that we like for a little while so that kind of 3039 03:15:29,580 --> 03:15:34,740 erases everything that he did for the Confederacy. I know if 3040 03:15:34,740 --> 03:15:37,770 you want to have it your way man, anything that Mr. aikman 3041 03:15:37,770 --> 03:15:42,270 stands for even when Dick Durbin brings him up? No, no he has to 3042 03:15:42,270 --> 03:15:47,340 be shouted down because you know he fought to protect slavery as 3043 03:15:47,340 --> 03:15:51,930 these gentlemen said he fought for slavery by their by their 3044 03:15:51,930 --> 03:15:56,190 calculations which you see how it works about facts 3045 03:15:56,430 --> 03:15:56,850 no 3046 03:15:58,380 --> 03:16:01,410 never about facts even that's why he set it up the way he did 3047 03:16:01,410 --> 03:16:04,320 with a strong language in the first clip like he said with 3048 03:16:04,350 --> 03:16:08,940 effing rifles he was gonna do it like yeah we know it's another 3049 03:16:08,940 --> 03:16:09,480 shooter drop 3050 03:16:09,509 --> 03:16:14,669 what is the point of this behind the police? Just to say how bad 3051 03:16:14,699 --> 03:16:17,819 no no I mean what what is the point is it's a podcast right? 3052 03:16:18,029 --> 03:16:20,099 Right. What is the point of the podcast 3053 03:16:21,990 --> 03:16:26,670 you heard we said 99% critical equalities quite clear was about 3054 03:16:28,020 --> 03:16:33,960 now that's that's the point of it and maybe he has a Mr Jason 3055 03:16:33,960 --> 03:16:39,360 petty with him it's just like no you fought for the Confederacy 3056 03:16:39,360 --> 03:16:43,740 that's there's no back seats on that. I mean, that's just if 3057 03:16:43,740 --> 03:16:45,840 you're about the work that they're about 3058 03:16:46,260 --> 03:16:49,860 Yeah, yeah, their work yes. Yeah, it doesn't work. 3059 03:16:49,980 --> 03:16:53,190 That's the that goes to show you that there. There's this all 3060 03:16:53,190 --> 03:16:56,880 bullcrap. Yeah, it's all political. It's all about who we 3061 03:16:56,880 --> 03:16:59,580 can get to manipulate people to go cast the vote at the end of 3062 03:16:59,580 --> 03:17:00,900 the day. There's all this 3063 03:17:00,990 --> 03:17:04,200 do you think they really know that these people's these these 3064 03:17:04,200 --> 03:17:05,220 guys seem dumb? 3065 03:17:07,140 --> 03:17:10,170 We're doing a podcast on it it should be there. What I'm saying 3066 03:17:10,170 --> 03:17:15,450 is the emotional intelligence side of it. You know anytime you 3067 03:17:15,450 --> 03:17:21,300 say anything Confederate done yeah, you're done. It's a wrap. 3068 03:17:21,930 --> 03:17:27,030 But it's like well Wes sanitized this guy cuz we kind of got to 3069 03:17:27,030 --> 03:17:30,630 need him for what we need him for. The same way Dick Durbin 3070 03:17:30,630 --> 03:17:32,850 did why didn't dig dirt and bring that up there. He was a 3071 03:17:32,850 --> 03:17:36,390 former Confederate soldier. He just kind of like glossed over 3072 03:17:36,390 --> 03:17:36,960 the whole thing. 3073 03:17:38,160 --> 03:17:40,620 Well, we know why. Yeah. 3074 03:17:41,520 --> 03:17:48,360 Right. So that the headline is DOJ confirmation receives praise 3075 03:17:48,360 --> 03:17:54,750 for federal Confederate soldier, right? They will say it doesn't 3076 03:17:54,750 --> 03:17:58,050 matter. none of this matters to these people. They just talk out 3077 03:17:58,050 --> 03:18:02,700 your side of their neck. Um, but it's like they have this it's 3078 03:18:02,700 --> 03:18:07,860 not logical. It's not based in any Okay, well, let's weigh out 3079 03:18:07,890 --> 03:18:11,400 what what these people impact was? No, it's just well they did 3080 03:18:11,400 --> 03:18:13,890 something we like so just raise everything. We don't know 3081 03:18:13,890 --> 03:18:16,440 anything about this guy. We didn't know what he did for his 3082 03:18:16,440 --> 03:18:18,690 prior years. Right? Well, we're gonna do for 3083 03:18:18,690 --> 03:18:25,440 sure this podcast that these guys doing doing sucks. They 3084 03:18:25,440 --> 03:18:28,830 really suck because they're being disingenuous, dishonest. 3085 03:18:29,460 --> 03:18:31,890 Well, it continues on part three. Yeah, if 3086 03:18:31,890 --> 03:18:34,500 there's a thing that can make up for volunteering to serve in the 3087 03:18:34,500 --> 03:18:37,980 Confederate Army, I guess it's dismantling the KKK. I get it. 3088 03:18:37,980 --> 03:18:40,740 Yeah, like that's a good that's a good, good, good. 3089 03:18:43,020 --> 03:18:46,260 Paul, so now I want you to pay attention. Sorry about that. But 3090 03:18:46,410 --> 03:18:49,620 I want you to pay attention to their definition of dismantling. 3091 03:18:49,770 --> 03:18:52,680 And now he's saying they dismantled the Klan, right in 3092 03:18:52,710 --> 03:18:56,370 reconstruction. So that doesn't make any sense. But um, let's 3093 03:18:56,370 --> 03:18:58,110 listen to their definition of this man. 3094 03:18:58,380 --> 03:19:01,230 Yeah, if there's a thing that can make up for volunteering to 3095 03:19:01,230 --> 03:19:04,530 serve in the Confederate Army, I guess it's dismantling the KKK? 3096 03:19:04,620 --> 03:19:11,460 Yeah, like that's a good that's a good, good, good. Yeah. So the 3097 03:19:11,460 --> 03:19:14,910 worst clan violence was in South Carolina and grant declared 3098 03:19:14,910 --> 03:19:17,490 martial law in that state, citing a condition of 3099 03:19:17,490 --> 03:19:21,210 lawlessness, he suspended habeas corpus, and numerous Klansmen 3100 03:19:21,210 --> 03:19:23,700 were rounded up by federal authorities, including Sheriff 3101 03:19:23,700 --> 03:19:27,510 rice Rogers, who eat we have been talking about a lot, a lot 3102 03:19:27,510 --> 03:19:31,710 of Sheriff Scott drop pulled up in this. So the senate held 3103 03:19:31,710 --> 03:19:33,930 extensive hearings where hundreds of black victims of the 3104 03:19:33,930 --> 03:19:36,330 Klan were allowed to tell their stories to the nation, under 3105 03:19:36,330 --> 03:19:39,420 ackermans. direction. 600 Klansmen were convicted and 65 3106 03:19:39,420 --> 03:19:42,960 of them sent to a federal penitentiary by 1872. The Klan 3107 03:19:42,960 --> 03:19:46,590 was no longer a meaningful force in the United States. Frederick 3108 03:19:46,590 --> 03:19:49,560 Douglass himself said that without precedent grants actions 3109 03:19:49,560 --> 03:19:51,840 black Americans would have been trapped again in a condition 3110 03:19:51,840 --> 03:19:54,930 almost identical to slavery. That is probably true, but it's 3111 03:19:54,930 --> 03:19:57,810 also true that grant kind of botched the landing on this one 3112 03:19:57,930 --> 03:20:01,110 firing Ackerman to a piece is pathetic. rivals and commuting 3113 03:20:01,110 --> 03:20:03,810 the sentences of some Klansmen in the bed for reconciliation. 3114 03:20:03,810 --> 03:20:04,320 So again. 3115 03:20:06,120 --> 03:20:13,980 Oh, so 600 arrested 66 cent the federal prison. And then grant 3116 03:20:13,980 --> 03:20:17,610 goes and commute some of those 66 right to get right back out. 3117 03:20:18,690 --> 03:20:22,140 Sounds like this melon into me. Yeah, seriously? 3118 03:20:22,470 --> 03:20:26,610 Well, it was enough to compensate for his fighting with 3119 03:20:26,610 --> 03:20:27,630 the Confederate Army. 3120 03:20:28,080 --> 03:20:34,410 So what? 66 arrest? Yeah, I mean, you could trip and follow 3121 03:20:34,410 --> 03:20:35,850 CCC Klansmen? 3122 03:20:37,050 --> 03:20:39,120 Back in those days. Yeah, for sure. 3123 03:20:40,290 --> 03:20:43,680 And it seems like this dude was he was a what we talked about in 3124 03:20:43,680 --> 03:20:49,050 the last show. A he was flipped. Right? He's like, Hey, you want 3125 03:20:49,050 --> 03:20:54,360 your legacy? I will give us the clan, right? That's what it 3126 03:20:54,360 --> 03:20:57,450 seems like to me. And then he was just abruptly fired one year 3127 03:20:57,450 --> 03:21:01,920 after doing the job. And then grant goes back and commutes 3128 03:21:01,920 --> 03:21:05,280 their sentences does not make sense. And then they say, Oh, 3129 03:21:05,280 --> 03:21:10,050 well do class dismantle us get back to business as usual. So 3130 03:21:10,080 --> 03:21:12,870 putting ourselves back in that in those days. What was the 3131 03:21:12,870 --> 03:21:15,510 point of this of this of this fake move? 3132 03:21:17,940 --> 03:21:19,560 Oh, well. 39 3133 03:21:20,490 --> 03:21:24,090 grants presumed motivated motivations for suppressing the 3134 03:21:24,090 --> 03:21:28,350 Ku Klux Klan are dubious. Consider, for example, consider 3135 03:21:28,350 --> 03:21:33,150 the experience of Amos Ackerman, his second Attorney General, 3136 03:21:33,510 --> 03:21:38,250 Ackerman was the most vigorous of grants attorneys general in 3137 03:21:38,250 --> 03:21:42,330 prosecuting the Klu Klux Klan. In order to expedite 3138 03:21:42,330 --> 03:21:46,860 prosecutions, he expanded the powers of the then newly created 3139 03:21:46,860 --> 03:21:51,210 federal Justice Department. About 600 Klan members were 3140 03:21:51,210 --> 03:21:56,820 convicted. Yet grant abruptly asked her act Ackerman to resign 3141 03:21:56,820 --> 03:22:02,670 in December 1871. Partly at the prompting of Secretary of State 3142 03:22:02,670 --> 03:22:06,360 Hamilton fish, Grant had misgivings about ackermans, 3143 03:22:06,360 --> 03:22:11,580 quote, obsession, close quote, with the claim, perhaps more 3144 03:22:11,580 --> 03:22:15,570 importantly, Ackerman also frustrated, important more than 3145 03:22:15,570 --> 03:22:19,650 capitalists. He was, for example, critical of the 3146 03:22:19,650 --> 03:22:23,310 questionable terms under which railroads often qualify for 3147 03:22:23,310 --> 03:22:28,230 federal subsidies. Racism was just as prevalent in the north 3148 03:22:28,230 --> 03:22:32,010 as it was in the south, the only difference was that blacks 3149 03:22:32,010 --> 03:22:37,110 represented about 1% 1% of the population of the organic 3150 03:22:37,110 --> 03:22:41,940 republican states. Those states those same states would not have 3151 03:22:41,940 --> 03:22:45,060 granted blacks have the right to vote, if blacks accounted for 3152 03:22:45,060 --> 03:22:50,730 40% of their population, as it did in the south, where blacks 3153 03:22:50,730 --> 03:22:55,050 did account for 40% of the population and he actually spent 3154 03:22:55,050 --> 03:22:58,950 more money appropriated by Congress to enforce the KKK 3155 03:22:58,950 --> 03:23:03,780 acts. He spent most of that money not in the south, but in 3156 03:23:03,780 --> 03:23:07,470 the north in the big cities of the North to police the 3157 03:23:07,500 --> 03:23:10,950 elections where the Irish were voting 3158 03:23:11,430 --> 03:23:18,120 Oh wow. You know, there's a new book out about Ulysses Grant is 3159 03:23:18,120 --> 03:23:24,660 it Yeah, yeah, I just saw I think just named Brett bear. Fox 3160 03:23:24,660 --> 03:23:28,110 News Anchor wrote wrote a book about Ulysses S Grant. I 3161 03:23:28,110 --> 03:23:30,810 actually was thinking that's interesting. I should probably 3162 03:23:30,810 --> 03:23:32,580 who read that I don't know anything about him 3163 03:23:33,060 --> 03:23:35,670 doing that will give this would be a good motivation to read it 3164 03:23:35,670 --> 03:23:40,440 now. Yeah. But yeah, you saw it anchormen started stepping on 3165 03:23:40,440 --> 03:23:41,640 the toes a big business 3166 03:23:41,670 --> 03:23:42,270 that's right 3167 03:23:43,470 --> 03:23:45,630 that's kind of what it'd be the equivalent probably to 3168 03:23:45,630 --> 03:23:52,620 pharmaceuticals now and in this sway at the time um, and he had 3169 03:23:52,620 --> 03:23:57,570 to go in he freed know some of the Klansmen I don't understand 3170 03:23:57,570 --> 03:24:01,770 like how how do these facts line up for Dick Durbin listed here 3171 03:24:01,770 --> 03:24:07,110 celebrate wants to celebrate No, Mr. Ackerman without you know 3172 03:24:07,110 --> 03:24:12,390 fully. If you want to be genuine, you say here's a man 3173 03:24:12,390 --> 03:24:14,970 that was on the wrong side of history, but he tried to write 3174 03:24:14,970 --> 03:24:17,550 himself and that's the way you would posture that 3175 03:24:18,179 --> 03:24:20,849 right. Well, how about this? How about Dick Durbin wants to do 3176 03:24:20,849 --> 03:24:24,539 the same thing. He wants to round up a bunch of annoying 3177 03:24:24,539 --> 03:24:28,529 people and then let him go on the back end. Just to posture, 3178 03:24:29,099 --> 03:24:34,649 just just a posture for not not dissimilar to the January 6 3179 03:24:34,649 --> 03:24:38,609 trespassers, yes. And I say trespasses because that's what 3180 03:24:38,609 --> 03:24:44,189 most of them are being held on. For now. Nine months. 10 months. 3181 03:24:44,580 --> 03:24:49,260 What What goes what was found funny is here's an opportunity 3182 03:24:49,260 --> 03:24:54,450 for Miss Kristin Clark, if I make sure I got her name, 3183 03:24:54,450 --> 03:24:58,350 correct. You did. Oh, yes, clearly Kristin Clark, to be a 3184 03:24:58,680 --> 03:25:02,970 Amos anchorman. To hold big business accountable being the 3185 03:25:02,970 --> 03:25:06,510 pharmaceutical industry and say, No, you can't infringe upon 3186 03:25:06,510 --> 03:25:11,220 people's civil rights, for their personal beliefs, and you can't 3187 03:25:11,220 --> 03:25:13,230 jab them, that would 3188 03:25:13,230 --> 03:25:16,920 be appropriate from her certainly, as a quote, African 3189 03:25:16,920 --> 03:25:17,670 American, 3190 03:25:18,300 --> 03:25:21,390 you would think so, um, I was saying that's that's the point 3191 03:25:21,390 --> 03:25:24,270 I'm trying to make, or just from the fact that she said, in many 3192 03:25:24,270 --> 03:25:27,960 cases, protecting religious beliefs, and, you know, this is 3193 03:25:27,960 --> 03:25:33,990 not our first rodeo. So you're on the clock. If you started 3194 03:25:33,990 --> 03:25:36,570 with, you're saying with Big Pharma, and allowing these 3195 03:25:36,570 --> 03:25:42,090 things to happen, you're just a no, I spoke in the wheel of, you 3196 03:25:42,090 --> 03:25:46,350 know, oppression that used to claim to be against I mean, 3197 03:25:46,350 --> 03:25:50,220 that's what I'm saying he, but this is the point facts do not 3198 03:25:50,220 --> 03:25:56,160 matter. As your clips you gave me about a mass formation, he's 3199 03:25:56,160 --> 03:25:57,780 gonna point out the facts do not matter. 3200 03:25:58,830 --> 03:26:04,920 So what happens is that, at that moment, when people experience 3201 03:26:04,920 --> 03:26:09,570 this mental intoxication, it doesn't matter anymore, whether 3202 03:26:09,570 --> 03:26:13,410 the narrative is correct or wrong, even blatantly wrong. 3203 03:26:13,710 --> 03:26:18,060 What matters is that it leads up to this mental intoxication. And 3204 03:26:18,060 --> 03:26:21,990 that's why they continue to go along with the narrative, even 3205 03:26:22,050 --> 03:26:27,390 if they could know, by thinking for one second, that it is 3206 03:26:27,390 --> 03:26:31,710 wrong. Because for people, it doesn't matter when the 3207 03:26:31,710 --> 03:26:35,040 narrative is wrong, and what we all try to do, as we all try to 3208 03:26:35,040 --> 03:26:38,340 show constantly that the narrative is wrong. But for 3209 03:26:38,340 --> 03:26:42,990 people, that's not what it is all about. It's all about this, 3210 03:26:43,500 --> 03:26:48,510 the fact that they don't want to go back to this painful state of 3211 03:26:48,510 --> 03:26:52,140 free floating anxiety. Yeah, 3212 03:26:53,550 --> 03:26:57,840 I know, I can see by the title of your next clips that I should 3213 03:26:57,840 --> 03:27:04,890 just wait to tell you. What he said is the solution. Or do you 3214 03:27:04,890 --> 03:27:06,030 want to know now what's 3215 03:27:07,470 --> 03:27:13,080 outside say this, let me let me set it up. I have ironclad proof 3216 03:27:13,920 --> 03:27:16,740 that reptilians are behind it all. Now you can go ahead and 3217 03:27:16,740 --> 03:27:17,970 say what you need no screws, 3218 03:27:17,970 --> 03:27:21,750 I forget what I was gonna say I want to see the proof reptilians 3219 03:27:21,750 --> 03:27:23,040 are behind it. Let's go 3220 03:27:23,490 --> 03:27:24,120 41. 3221 03:27:24,750 --> 03:27:29,370 I want to start by talking about a problem. So for me, when I'm 3222 03:27:29,370 --> 03:27:33,600 approached with conflict, my immediate responses, I'm angry, 3223 03:27:33,630 --> 03:27:39,540 I lunge. And oftentimes, even if my response is right, in theory, 3224 03:27:39,930 --> 03:27:43,200 the collateral damage that I caused by standing up for 3225 03:27:43,200 --> 03:27:46,740 something, there's so much worse than they originally, yeah, well 3226 03:27:46,830 --> 03:27:50,100 experienced by everybody. And let's understand why it 3227 03:27:50,100 --> 03:27:53,430 happened. First, wild animals are wild animals, because they 3228 03:27:53,430 --> 03:27:56,070 only have a little tiny brain. And that little tiny brain keeps 3229 03:27:56,070 --> 03:27:59,460 them alive, is about fear and revenge and reproduction, and 3230 03:27:59,670 --> 03:28:04,380 anger. And let's go. And human beings have that same brain. But 3231 03:28:04,380 --> 03:28:06,600 we evolved to have this other brain in front, the one that 3232 03:28:06,600 --> 03:28:10,500 does ballet, the one that does big ideas. But that brain is 3233 03:28:10,500 --> 03:28:14,130 slow. Compared to our wild animal brain, our Lizard Lizard 3234 03:28:14,130 --> 03:28:17,730 brain is right next to our spinal cord, and it can go back 3235 03:28:18,030 --> 03:28:21,120 and it floods your brain with chemicals instantly. And this 3236 03:28:21,120 --> 03:28:25,200 brain takes three more seconds to catch up. By the time that 3237 03:28:25,200 --> 03:28:28,890 happens to really difficult for that brain to say calm down. 3238 03:28:28,890 --> 03:28:31,890 Here's the right answer. You just have to walk on an airplane 3239 03:28:31,890 --> 03:28:34,710 when they're experiencing turbulence. What we know is 3240 03:28:34,920 --> 03:28:37,620 planes don't crash because it turbulence, but people freak 3241 03:28:37,770 --> 03:28:40,260 because the lizard brain takes over we're gonna die. 3242 03:28:40,410 --> 03:28:43,500 But out of sort of the lizard brain has come this idea of the 3243 03:28:43,500 --> 03:28:44,850 resistance How does that work? 3244 03:28:45,240 --> 03:28:48,360 So Steve pressfield coined the term and what it means is that 3245 03:28:48,360 --> 03:28:51,630 there's part of us that doesn't want to be seen so that's what 3246 03:28:51,630 --> 03:28:54,750 writer's block comes from. No one actually has writer's block 3247 03:28:54,750 --> 03:28:58,110 just like no one gets plumbers block. You just do plumbing you 3248 03:28:58,110 --> 03:29:00,930 can't write it is the act of writing means you'll be seen 3249 03:29:01,200 --> 03:29:03,510 forever by strangers. Your 3250 03:29:04,680 --> 03:29:07,350 nose, literally behind it. 3251 03:29:10,020 --> 03:29:13,410 They want us to be like them. Thinking with that little 3252 03:29:13,410 --> 03:29:21,060 reptilian brains Yes, they do. Yes they do. Yes they do. They 3253 03:29:21,060 --> 03:29:27,000 do. And this down on me I know it sounds far fetched. No, but 3254 03:29:27,000 --> 03:29:27,330 no, 3255 03:29:27,359 --> 03:29:31,169 but if there's one thing we connect on Moby lizard people, 3256 03:29:31,169 --> 03:29:33,149 we connect deeply on lizard people. 3257 03:29:33,270 --> 03:29:37,440 What if not the fact that they have scaly skin and little beady 3258 03:29:37,440 --> 03:29:41,880 eyes and long lizard tongue, it's their brain. They can't 3259 03:29:41,880 --> 03:29:46,350 think past destroy or, you know, 3260 03:29:46,380 --> 03:29:49,050 make make babies eat or destroys. 3261 03:29:49,170 --> 03:29:54,180 Yes, that's an all they're able to think on the level of and 3262 03:29:54,180 --> 03:29:57,630 they want to bring us down to that level of thinking, through 3263 03:29:57,630 --> 03:30:02,850 binaries, thought That's the point that's that's why they 3264 03:30:02,850 --> 03:30:08,520 want to destroy humanity, of jealousy of our ability to have 3265 03:30:08,520 --> 03:30:14,400 compassion, and to be able to rationalize and think on our 3266 03:30:14,910 --> 03:30:18,690 second and third parts of our brain that they don't have. 3267 03:30:19,470 --> 03:30:23,010 That's the whole point in the lizard people behind it. I know 3268 03:30:23,010 --> 03:30:25,920 people are rolling their eyes right now Sam mo has flipped 3269 03:30:25,920 --> 03:30:29,730 this week. No, no. That's the point. That's where they want us 3270 03:30:29,760 --> 03:30:33,510 at. This is what this gentleman that clips you gave me you 3271 03:30:33,510 --> 03:30:40,140 supply me with my ask to say this is what they want. They 3272 03:30:40,140 --> 03:30:44,640 want us in the little pack or whatever. I don't know what you 3273 03:30:44,640 --> 03:30:46,110 call a pack of lizards. 3274 03:30:49,380 --> 03:30:50,790 It's a brood of lizards. 3275 03:30:55,260 --> 03:30:57,180 I think it's Brutus snakes. Right. So I think we 3276 03:30:57,180 --> 03:31:02,550 know it's a brunette. I don't know. Bro, we're brutal. 3277 03:31:03,090 --> 03:31:03,990 I'm so much better. 3278 03:31:04,019 --> 03:31:06,419 Oh, it's no wait. It's called a lounge? 3279 03:31:07,050 --> 03:31:08,400 around? Yes. 3280 03:31:09,060 --> 03:31:11,850 A group of lizards is called the lounge. 3281 03:31:12,420 --> 03:31:13,800 Whether that's even better. I 3282 03:31:13,800 --> 03:31:15,210 know. I love this. 3283 03:31:15,660 --> 03:31:21,030 So they want us all in the lounge of lizards, just reacting 3284 03:31:21,030 --> 03:31:26,970 with our little lizard brains. And not using what we have I 3285 03:31:26,970 --> 03:31:30,300 what we've been blessed with the ability to use the second and 3286 03:31:30,300 --> 03:31:33,960 third components of our brain to give us higher thought. And 3287 03:31:33,960 --> 03:31:36,210 that's what they're jealous about. That's that's why they 3288 03:31:36,210 --> 03:31:38,940 want to destroy us. That's the whole thing. The lizard people 3289 03:31:38,940 --> 03:31:41,940 behind it. And I put my I put my whole chest on. 3290 03:31:42,150 --> 03:31:47,010 Well, that's interesting, because when I said to Professor 3291 03:31:47,010 --> 03:31:51,060 De Smet, I said, Alright, so we have this severe hypnotic state 3292 03:31:51,570 --> 03:31:56,790 of the leaders. What do we do? He said, The most important 3293 03:31:56,790 --> 03:32:00,990 thing is keep talking. Keep speaking your truth. The minute 3294 03:32:01,020 --> 03:32:06,090 you stop talking is all over. And he said memes and mockery. 3295 03:32:06,180 --> 03:32:07,530 That's the way to destroy. 3296 03:32:09,150 --> 03:32:09,840 Why? 3297 03:32:10,230 --> 03:32:12,870 He says he says, it breaks the spell. 3298 03:32:13,500 --> 03:32:16,680 Because why? I mean, we had to look at it. Why, though? Because 3299 03:32:16,710 --> 03:32:20,910 it only our human brain can can interpret it. Yes, you're right. 3300 03:32:21,360 --> 03:32:28,680 The sarcasm, the mass humor, and that's why it really is as the 3301 03:32:28,680 --> 03:32:32,880 most effective tool on their systems because they can't run 3302 03:32:32,880 --> 03:32:35,820 our algorithm to the text sarcasm. 3303 03:32:36,900 --> 03:32:40,050 No way can that well, that may be one day, but nine is not 3304 03:32:40,050 --> 03:32:40,230 here. 3305 03:32:40,470 --> 03:32:43,980 How can you show the Spider Man pointing at the Spider Man meme? 3306 03:32:44,940 --> 03:32:51,330 And have to take what you mean by that? If you can't. I tell 3307 03:32:51,330 --> 03:32:54,420 you, they want us dumbed down. It's it's this is the reason why 3308 03:32:54,420 --> 03:32:57,480 they're coming to schools. It's a reason why they're coming for 3309 03:32:57,480 --> 03:32:58,590 the children. Oh, 3310 03:32:58,890 --> 03:33:02,700 this has been going on for a long time. Of course it was. 3311 03:33:03,270 --> 03:33:04,350 Absolutely Yeah. 3312 03:33:04,410 --> 03:33:08,310 But it's the closest they ever been to it. Because as you said, 3313 03:33:08,940 --> 03:33:13,530 I'm the same way kind of like teachers and media outdated. 3314 03:33:13,770 --> 03:33:17,160 Parents are outdated as well this we're at the same time of 3315 03:33:17,400 --> 03:33:21,480 you came about when television was first, like really becoming 3316 03:33:21,480 --> 03:33:26,010 television. And now parents had no clue what television was. 3317 03:33:27,750 --> 03:33:31,290 It's like this a stupid box to show pictures and play music and 3318 03:33:31,290 --> 03:33:35,340 play you know, play sound. They don't understand the cultural 3319 03:33:35,370 --> 03:33:40,050 integration it has the same way with smartphones and technology 3320 03:33:40,050 --> 03:33:44,220 is now the parents like kind of outdated? Sure. So this is the 3321 03:33:44,250 --> 03:33:48,840 opportune time to seize the young and turn them into little 3322 03:33:48,840 --> 03:33:49,500 baby lizard. 3323 03:33:53,220 --> 03:33:56,310 Well, I'm not I'm not gonna let that happen. I will fight tooth 3324 03:33:56,310 --> 03:33:58,800 and nail to stop the lizard people from stealing our 3325 03:33:58,800 --> 03:33:59,370 children. 3326 03:34:02,070 --> 03:34:11,310 That statement Do you like it? Go so me. Let's go ahead and 3327 03:34:11,310 --> 03:34:13,170 wrap up the lizard brain part two. 3328 03:34:13,710 --> 03:34:17,430 How does one when they're trying to make a huge change and take a 3329 03:34:17,430 --> 03:34:21,390 huge risk? silenced the lizard brains around them. 3330 03:34:21,420 --> 03:34:23,820 I wish we could get rid of it. You can't. The harder you try to 3331 03:34:23,820 --> 03:34:26,160 get rid of it, the stronger it becomes. What you can do is 3332 03:34:26,160 --> 03:34:30,750 acknowledge it go with and not but I feel this and I'm going to 3333 03:34:30,750 --> 03:34:35,580 do something that works as opposed to I feel this. But I'm 3334 03:34:35,580 --> 03:34:38,880 unable to move forward so the fear won't go away, especially 3335 03:34:38,880 --> 03:34:42,630 if we wanted to. But what we can do is learn to dance with one 3336 03:34:42,630 --> 03:34:45,870 way to think about it. No one says to their coach, how can I 3337 03:34:45,870 --> 03:34:48,930 run the Boston Marathon without getting tired? Getting tired 3338 03:34:48,930 --> 03:34:51,960 part of the deal? Well, the same thing is true with the work that 3339 03:34:51,960 --> 03:34:54,960 matters. How can I do it without being afraid you can't there's 3340 03:34:54,960 --> 03:34:57,450 something I carry with me and Pema chodron called this 3341 03:34:57,450 --> 03:35:02,490 shepstone and the idea is that When the fear shows up, there 3342 03:35:02,490 --> 03:35:02,820 you go. 3343 03:35:03,480 --> 03:35:06,270 acknowledge your shows up, I don't know that I identified, 3344 03:35:06,510 --> 03:35:07,350 the lizard shows 3345 03:35:07,350 --> 03:35:10,590 up, it might be fear, it might be anger, it's all that primeval 3346 03:35:10,590 --> 03:35:14,220 stuff. So the best advice I give people all the time is you 3347 03:35:14,220 --> 03:35:16,290 should start a blog and you should write a blog every day. 3348 03:35:16,320 --> 03:35:22,080 I've done 7512 haven't missed a day in more than 15 years. And 3349 03:35:22,260 --> 03:35:26,160 the reason is simple. Because it means every night you go to bed 3350 03:35:26,160 --> 03:35:30,330 saying tomorrow, I need to say something in writing. This is 3351 03:35:30,330 --> 03:35:31,950 gonna be out there for years to come. 3352 03:35:32,310 --> 03:35:34,920 But if every day we're writing something down and putting it 3353 03:35:34,920 --> 03:35:37,650 out there to the universe. Yeah, we're taking a risk, and we're 3354 03:35:37,650 --> 03:35:40,110 gonna have to live with those words and own those words 3355 03:35:40,110 --> 03:35:40,530 forever. 3356 03:35:40,560 --> 03:35:42,630 Exactly. That isn't that great. But 3357 03:35:42,630 --> 03:35:47,010 do you worry that in 2018, we're not looking to solve for getting 3358 03:35:47,010 --> 03:35:50,910 out of lizard brain. It seems like lizard brain is getting 3359 03:35:50,910 --> 03:35:52,770 celebrated and winning the game. 3360 03:35:55,560 --> 03:35:59,970 Wow. And that was from what? 3361 03:36:00,840 --> 03:36:06,930 That was from NBC better rules. That is with Seth Godin. 3362 03:36:07,110 --> 03:36:07,920 Oh, I 3363 03:36:07,920 --> 03:36:12,810 recognize I know Seth Godin. Sure. Oh, I recognize the voice. 3364 03:36:14,580 --> 03:36:21,510 Never surprised me who you know, you would be surprised to see 3365 03:36:22,140 --> 03:36:23,520 that you don't know someone was 3366 03:36:23,580 --> 03:36:26,430 it was interesting. We were just talking about Seth Godin, 3367 03:36:26,430 --> 03:36:29,340 because he's doing some other he's all over the place. I would 3368 03:36:29,340 --> 03:36:32,190 know he was doing a thing where climate change book. He's a 3369 03:36:32,190 --> 03:36:37,050 marketing guy. Now. That's why in this context, Seth Godin 3370 03:36:37,050 --> 03:36:40,800 knows what he's talking about. He knows very well how the 3371 03:36:40,800 --> 03:36:44,250 lizard brain works, because that's how he made his career in 3372 03:36:44,250 --> 03:36:45,000 advertising. 3373 03:36:46,080 --> 03:36:50,040 And advertising plays on your lizard brain sure does watch the 3374 03:36:50,040 --> 03:36:54,000 commercials on hire personal truck. Yeah, I had to go get a 3375 03:36:54,000 --> 03:36:59,430 new truck. Or my my mate, or my spouse or mate. would think I'm 3376 03:36:59,430 --> 03:37:01,590 less than, you know, the other guy. Oh, no, 3377 03:37:01,590 --> 03:37:05,640 it's like, of course. And if you drink this beer, look at the 3378 03:37:05,640 --> 03:37:06,780 women you're gonna get? 3379 03:37:07,140 --> 03:37:13,560 Yes. Yeah, he goes all back to where we are under attack by 3380 03:37:13,560 --> 03:37:18,150 lizard people. I mean, that's just say what's in you can take 3381 03:37:18,150 --> 03:37:22,260 that in, in the metaphorical way that I mean it right now as in. 3382 03:37:23,880 --> 03:37:27,660 We're surrounded by lizard brain, people that only think 3383 03:37:27,660 --> 03:37:33,540 with the most base human values. And that's a very, that's how 3384 03:37:33,540 --> 03:37:35,610 you end up with Mao's China. 3385 03:37:36,000 --> 03:37:42,390 And mo facts with Adam Curry is here to help ourselves and you 3386 03:37:42,390 --> 03:37:47,910 fight the lizard brain takeover. The fact that you're listening 3387 03:37:47,910 --> 03:37:51,840 probably means you're already in a good place. But for sure, 3388 03:37:52,110 --> 03:37:54,870 certainly with the outrage that's going on everywhere 3389 03:37:54,870 --> 03:37:58,320 today. We're all just seconds away from that flip that they 3390 03:37:58,320 --> 03:38:01,110 were talking about. Boom in a heartbeat. The lizard brain 3391 03:38:01,110 --> 03:38:03,690 kicks in, you're you're out of control. 3392 03:38:05,070 --> 03:38:08,070 Right and you and you make a mistake that you regret for a 3393 03:38:08,070 --> 03:38:12,540 very long time if you live in that space for too long. Well, 3394 03:38:12,570 --> 03:38:13,410 that's my wrap. 3395 03:38:13,560 --> 03:38:18,120 Hey, Mo thank you this, this was a I like this a lot. I learned 3396 03:38:18,570 --> 03:38:21,390 so much.

And of 3398 03:38:26,070 --> 03:38:29,640 course, you know, 67 episodes of schooling before this has helped 3399 03:38:29,640 --> 03:38:31,830 me understand a lot more about the people and the players 3400 03:38:31,830 --> 03:38:34,770 involved.
