WEBVTT - It's a Numbers Game: Young Conservative OBLITERATES Woke Talking Points

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to a numbers game podcast. Happy Monday. I

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>hope you have had a great day so far. I

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you all the whole story. The year

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was nineteen ninety four, and there was once a boy

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.119
<v Speaker 1>named Ryan and his mother made him broccoli and he

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>threw it out and blamed his little brother and it

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't right. And I did do it, and my brother

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>never forgot it. But thirty one years later, I received

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a screenshot on my phone from that said brother showing

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>my picture of my podcast with a one star review. Now,

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I know I'm not a hero in this story or

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a victim in any sense of the word. But if

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you think a thirty one year vengeance tour is a

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>little too much, please give me a five star review

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or regular listeners podcast. I

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>think a thirty one year jihad is needs a little

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>support from my listeners, so please like and subscribe and

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>give me a five star review. I needed to get

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>that out of the way because I thought it was

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>one hilarious and my brother did that and too. Always

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>encouraging people to give a review to the podcast because

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>it does help if people find it and listen to it.

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>So this episode is a bit of a mashup. I

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>have some data, I have an interview, and I have

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>some fascinating DC gossip that I think you'll all really like,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and then of course ask me anything. So first on

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the data. Everyone is talking about the New York Times

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>article about voter registration and the Democrats numbers plummeting nationwide. Now,

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>for those who listen to the show very often, I

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>have talked about this a lot New Jersey in California especially,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.199
<v Speaker 1>and how it has reflected poorly on the Democratic Party. Unfortunately,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>most Americans don't listen to this podcast. So the Times

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>article seems like it's brand new, and I want to

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>go through the information really explain it to you in

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a deep way. The article is by Shane Goldmacher and

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Jonah Smith. I'm not familiar with Jonah Smith, but Shane's

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a very solid journalist. I actually invite him on this podcast.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>So he writes the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters long

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>before they even go to the poles. Of the thirties

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>dates that track to registration by political party, Democrats lost

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>ground to Republicans in every single one between twenty twenty

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and twenty twenty four, often by a lot. The four

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>year swing towards Republicans add up to four point five

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>million voters, a deep political hole that could take Democrats

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>years to climb out for out of And they use

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>L two data to cite this.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>All I've used L two. L two is just a

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>voter data company.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>So basically, if I say, hey, I'm going to do

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a school board election in lim Brook, Long Island, or

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever the case is, L two can provide me data

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of who's likely to vote most most often, what party

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>they're registered under. It's a good company anyway. They use

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that data to justify what they're talking about. So a

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>little background in fact, For the first instance, twenty eighteen

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>last year. All told, Democrats lost two point one million

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>registered voters between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four in

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>those thirty states that allow people to register by political party,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and Republicans gain two point four million. Consider this, In

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, Democrats accounted for thirty four percent of new

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>voter registrations nationwide. Republicans were only twenty get In twenty

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, Republicans had overtaken Democrats. For years, the left

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>had relied on sprawling network of nonprofits which solicit donations

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>from people whose identities they do not disclose, to register

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>black and Latino young voters. Though the groups are technically nonpartisan,

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>there is an underlying assumption that most of these voters

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 1>will be Democrat. You can't just register young Latino or

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>young black voter and assume that they're going to know

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's Democrat and that they have the best policies,

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>says MS. Cardona, who is a liberal person. Okay, so

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>stop right there with the article. Buck Sexton had mentioned

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>this in his podcast, and he was one hundred percent right.

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Liberals have been scamming tax nonprofit statuses for years to

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>bolster Democratic voter registration. They knew that going into major

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>urban areas and looking for someone with dark skin would

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>be a positive assumption that they are more than likely

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>than not to be Democrat, and probably nine times out

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of ten in many cases. But these nonprofits, and I

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>give them credit, I mean, listen, they have worked the

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>system for a long time to give tax breaks to

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>these liberal donors. Basically, a liberal donor will give a

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>nonprofit a million dollars or however how much they get

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to write off on their taxes as being you know,

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>beneficial to society, and Democrats get more into registered voters.

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at least Scott Presler has a super pack

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>where he doesn't get a tax break, you know, for

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>registering Republicans. This is explicitly using the tax code to

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>benefit to benefit Democrats. They claim that the reason they

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>can't do this anymore though in the same capacity that

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they used to, is because of President Trump and how

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.679
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has changed the parties. So what they're missing

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>from the story, what Democrats are missing from this narrative,

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>And with the New York Times reporters, and they're good reporters,

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>but what they're missing from this is that this didn't

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>happen between twenty and twenty four. It did partially, but

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>this has been going on for a long time, right,

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>this at least the last four election cycles. So there's

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>for a liberal firm called Catalyst, and they did this

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>big breakdown of the twenty twenty four election in the

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>past four elections, specifically looking at young minorities Democrats. This

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is among young black men, young black men being those

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>who are under thirty years old. Democrats won ninety four

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>percent of young black men in twenty twelve, ninety percent

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty sixteen, eighty five percent in twenty twenty, and

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>seventy five percent in twenty twenty four. That means that

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a quote nonprofit that is registering voters in the inner city,

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and they're almost all likely Black or Latino, they had

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a chance for every twenty five people they registered to

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>vote in one of the two major political parties, twenty

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>four of them would be guaranteed Democrats young Black men

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to twenty five twelve years ago. It's not

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that long ago, but a little by little it's been

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>taken away. For young Hispanic it's been young Hispanic men. Rather,

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's been even more extreme. Democrats went from winning seventy

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>one percent of young Latino men in twenty twelve to

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven percent in twenty sixteen, to sixty three percent

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty, to forty seven percent in twenty twenty four.

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.679
<v Speaker 1>It's all according to catalyst, and I want to point

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>out that it is a trend because it is important

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to notice. Very few major political changes happen overnight. Right

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.119
<v Speaker 1>even the white working classes changed for Republicans. The last

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>time that there was a overnight transformation, I would say

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>would be like Cubans in the nineteen sixty who did

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 1>change overnight with the Cuban missile crisis and the Bay

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of Pigs, like it was a overnight transformation. But that's

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>probably the last one. It's probably the last time there

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was an overnight transformation of a specific demographic for a

0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>specific reason, because Democrats among young black men lost four

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>percent between twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, five percent from

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, and ten percent from twenty

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty twenty four. Among young Latino men four percent

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>from twenty twelve, four percent from twenty sixteen, and then

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen percent between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four. They

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>had that shift going on, they just refused to notice

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it until it was too big, and not to notice

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>until instead of going from twenty four out of twenty

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>five young black men being Democrats to being three out

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of four, which is substantially less, and they don't want

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to risk bolstering so many more Republicans. Okay, back to

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the article not so long ago. In twenty eighteen, democrats

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>accounted for sixty six percent of new voters under forty

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>five who registered with one of the two major parties.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Yet in twenty twenty four, that share has fallen to

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>forty eight percent. In other words, Republicans went from roughly

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>one third of newly registered voters under forty five to

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a majority in over six years. The story is leaker

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for Democrats in some key states. In Nevada, which releases

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>particular detailed data, Republicans added twice as many voters under

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty five as Democrats did. The shift among men is

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>substantially different. From nearly forty nine percent of newly registered

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>voters and a major party chose the Democrats in twenty twenty,

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>that number went to thirty nine percent in twenty twenty four.

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to focus on men because that's really where

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing these crazy numbers. Zachary Donini, who I've had

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast. He is a data scientist for Decision Desk.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>He posted that young white men, young white men, those

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>being probably under thirty, definitely under thirty, maybe even under

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, are really the catalyst. Now there's a big

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>shift among young Latinos. They're a majority of young Latino

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>men voting, registering Republican one in four young black men.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But I want to talk about young white men for

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>a second, because it is the biggest demographic among young

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>men in this country. Young white men, according to Ainy,

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>are registering or a Republican at an on precedented level.

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>White men born in the eighties and early nineties, my

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>generation right, who came of age when George W. Bush

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>was president, and I know some people like him. I

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a horrible president. But they almost broke

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty to fifty Democrat Republican white men, which is like

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the Republican's key demographic. It was really bad when they

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>started registering voting because the other the Iraq War, and

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Bush was just horrible. Now, young white men who register

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>for one of the two major parties register seventy one

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to twenty nine Republican. It is the highest amount of

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>any generation recorded since the nineteen thirties. Seventy one to

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine. That is fifty That was almost fifty points,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 1>or it's forty five points, whatever, it's forty two. Sorry,

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>my internal math numbers coup in catching up forty two points.

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>So although it's a six point Republican majority among young Latinos,

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's they're losing young young blacks by fifty points

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>instead of you know, ninety two points. That forty two

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>point bump for young white men is the game. It's

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>it's that that is the number game. That is their path.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>As they continue to vote, as they vote more frequently,

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>as they start paying taxes and becoming older and being

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>more involved, that is the game for Republicans to grow substantially.

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Growing up hearing that you're a cancer for being a

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>young white man, being you're part of the patriarchy, you

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>are responsible for the victimhood of all generations throughout history,

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely propelled this group of people. And even young white women,

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>by the way, register a majority Republican fifty three to

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>forty seven. Obviously not nearly as much as men. But

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not what you would think watching the internet where

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 1>you see that all these like blue haired, short shaped,

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, white women who are all screaming about abortion progressive.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>No majority white women, young white women are registering Republican. Now,

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to remind you all that the trend of

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>young people and minorities moving to the right is not

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>isolated to America. We're seeing trends among minorities in basically

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>every part of the Anglo world, in Australia, in Canada

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and the UK, more and more, especially Indian and Arab

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>immigrant children who are registering to vote in those countries

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>are increasingly voting for the Republican like party of the

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Tories or the Canadian Conservative Party or whatnot. Zachary Dnini

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 1>once again, he actually looked at the name Mohammad, which

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is Zachary is so smart. He looked at the name

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Mohammad because it's obviously a very specific ethnicity, it's a

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>very specific religion. Men who were born in nineteen sixty

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>with the name Mohammad registered eighty eight to twelve Democrat.

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Men born in two thousand and five with the name

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Mohammad registered fifty nine forty one Democrat. Look at that

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>drop with this demo graphic, and this is a demographic

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 1>who probably is pro Gaza, probably is or on the

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>side of the palace stating and people. Rather, this is

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a demographic who has a lot in common on its

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>space of the Democratic Party, and yet they are abandoning

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>them because the people who run the Democra Party aren't

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>screaming college educated women or black activists saying you should

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>feel bad. I need reparations, I am the victim, or

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.199
<v Speaker 1>don't you shouldn't arrest somebody for burning down a building,

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>burning down a school, not a school, but you know,

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a store or whatever. Now let's look at some key states,

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:38.199
<v Speaker 1>because remember, only thirty states have registered people by party registration. Okay,

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>so places like Texas, Michigan, Virginia, Wisconsin, they don't register

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>people by party. I wish they did it make my

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>life a lot easier, but they don't. So I'm going

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to go over a few states because I think that

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that's important, just to highlight a few. One last thing

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.079
<v Speaker 1>voter registration except for new voters. Right, if you're eighteen

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>in registering for the first time, you obviously didn't change party.

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.199
<v Speaker 1>But if you are changing parties and you're thirty, you're

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>forty or fifty or sixty or whatever, it is the

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>last thing to do before you've been a full transformation

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>from one party to the other. In other words, no

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 1>one who at fifty five years old, who has voted

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>most of their life, who's re registering party registration as

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>a Republican is because they're voting Republican for the first

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>time ever. And not in most cases. Rather, so you're

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>likely have voted Republican. If you're a demok registered Democrat

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 1>and you're making the switch or vice versa, you have

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 1>voted Republican for ten years, but you're friendly changing parties.

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's the last thing that ever ends up happening. Okay,

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So let's look at West Virginia because it is the

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 1>most extreme cases. It's not a swing state that on

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>many congressional seats, but it is the It's almost all white,

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>it is working class, very little college education, and it

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>is a zeitgeist into the or it is a it

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is a it is a perfect analogy into the broader

0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>crisis democrats are having with white working class people. Remember

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia, for as Republican as it is now, was

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the few states that Jimmy Carter won over

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty. It is a state that

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 1>voted for Bill Clinton twice. It is a state that

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>probably if Hillary Clinton was the nomine in two thousand

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and eight, she'd be competitive, and Al Gore almost won

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it in two thousand, so that's not that long ago.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>It was a solid, solid democratic state, more democratic than

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like New Jersey, was from twenty sixteen until August twenty

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, Democrats lost forty one point five percent of

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 1>all their registered voters in that state forty forty one

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>point five percent. Republicans grew their registration by twenty six percent.

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm using twenty sixteen right, which is different than

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times article, because here's what happened. Between

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. Most state Democratic parties saw

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a big bump because it was you know, Trump's in power,

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>it's fascism, it's you know, everyone puts your pink pussy

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>hats on and sit there and start screaming into the

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>wild like that was happening for those four years, and

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that bolster Democrat registration, and then twenty twenty happens. Obviously, yes,

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Biden's in charge, but the great wokeism happens, and you know,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone's being me tooed and everyone's being canceled, and everyone's

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>are racist, and you know, we have to have the

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>trans bathing suits for six year olds of target. All

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>that stuff happens post twenty twenty. But I'm looking at

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the long view from twenty sixteen. Okay, in Nevada, since

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen, No Democrats have actually grown their voter registration

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in Nevada. Nevada is a very fast growing state, so

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>this makes sense. Democrats gained thirty three thousand, five hundred

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>registered voters. Republicans gained almost one hundred and nineteen thousand

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>registered Republicans. In New Hampshire, a semi swing state which

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>has Republican local government Democrat federal government, Democrats have lost

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>five percent of all their registered voters, Republicans have gained.

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Republicans actually have a plurality of all or sorry, they

0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have more registered Republicans in the state of New Hampshire

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>than Demorcrats. In Pennsylvania, the most important swing state in

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the country, Democrats have lost sixteen percent of all their

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>registered voters since twenty sixteen. Republicans have gained six percent.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I have increased their popular their numbers by six percent.

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to two things. Democrats had nine hundred thousand

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>more registered voters than Republicans in twenty sixteen. That's down

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>to fifty nine thousand this time. And Scott Presser has

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>done a lot of work and people have done a

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of work in Pennsylvania. But there's one thing that

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>no one ever talks about, and I want to talk

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>about it for one second, about Pennsylvania specifically. In twenty sixteen,

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 1>there was an article I think it was my, it

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was my Nate Cohen, it was by It was in

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>five point thirty eight. It's called like the missing white voter.

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>If Trump can find them, there are there were. As

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a twenty sixteen there were forty four million non college

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>educated white Americans who were not registered to vote, and

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>million of them lived in one state in particular, and

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>that was Pennsylvania. So what happened in twenty twenty three

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that didn't really make a lot of national news, Well,

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Governor Josh Shapiro announced automatic voter registration for people when

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they get driver's licenses, So everyone who renews, all of

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a sudden has to register, vote, and register in a

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>major political party. And though the decline for the Democratic

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Party was happening before that happened, it expedited the process.

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Republicans started gaining thousands more than Democrats after that happened

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.920
<v Speaker 1>because all the non college educated white Americans who never

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>bothered to vote, but all of a sudden it had

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.959
<v Speaker 1>to register to vote, who were registering Republican in huge numbers,

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and that was a major game changer in Pennsylvania that

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think Joshapiro did not think long terms. I don't

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>know if you would have done the same thing over

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 1>again if he would have known how horrible it was

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for his party, last, but not least, the state of Florida.

0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Because this is I mean, this is this is the

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>whole kit and kaboodle. Democrats in twenty sixteen and three

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty thousand more registered members of their party

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>than Republicans. And since twenty sixteen, Democrats lost seven hundred

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand registered members their party and Republicans gained one million,

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.479
<v Speaker 1>one million. It is a collapse of a party that

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>has no chance in the third largest day in this

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>country for a very, very, very long time. I don't

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 1>even know how you rebuild a party in that kind

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of situation. And once again, the differs from what I'm

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 1>saying in the New York Times. I'm looking at the

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>long view, looking since twenty sixteen, because I think that

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's important to see that even when you count the

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.919
<v Speaker 1>resist Trump voter surge that happened when you know he

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 1>first took office and Madonna sanctioned to blow up the

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>White House and all the rest of it, and Kathy

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Griffin is holding up a you know, is a fake

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>head and is bleeding, even when you include that Democrats

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 1>are in a worse place years later, even when you

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>consider all of that. Okay, that's enough for the data.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I have a great interesting guest coming up next. I

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 1>saw him online and I was like, I got to

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>talk to this kid. I think you guys would find

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:17.439
<v Speaker 1>him fascinating. That's coming up right after this. So I

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 1>was scrolling on Twitter a couple of days ago, maybe

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a wee could go now, and I came across this

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>episode of Jubilee. It's this kind of crazy website where

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty people scream at one person, and there was an

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>activist by name Amanda Seals. I think I'm pouncing her

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.719
<v Speaker 1>last thing correctly, and she was debating twenty black conservatives

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>and this young man, Matt Nuclear who's with us today,

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>was on and he was really smart and came across

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>really thought provoking, and I want to have him on

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the pod and talk about the debate experience and how

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he became such a well spoken conservative. And you're eighteen

0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>years old, right.

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Matt, I Indiana, i'ma maintained, I'm turning nineteen in two months,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So how did you get invited to Jubilee. I've been

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 2>doing like TikTok live debates for a bit, and I

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 2>believe that they invited me from that specifically. It's not

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 2>like I asked them to come on. And I was

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>supposed to originally do a different episode that was canceled.

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 2>But because they, you know, like my performance on the

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.479
<v Speaker 2>episode that got canceled, they invited me back to debate

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a radical, you know, black person, and I was like, sure,

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll do it.

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>So how long are you there for? By the way,

0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 1>is it hours and hours? I believe I believe that

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.639
<v Speaker 1>was three hours or two hours?

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:31.360
<v Speaker 2>It was that long. Okay.

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So now Amanda I never heard of Amanda Steals before.

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Her position was.

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>What her position essentially was that reparations were just and necessary.

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean she's also now came out and to that

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 2>black on black crime does not exist and it's not

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 2>something of any relevancy whatsoever. And essentially that you know,

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 2>black people are being oppressed by white people and this

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 2>is why these sort of disparities exist.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, you were you were really really smart, and how

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you came across what was your biggest oppositions to what

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>she said?

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you naturally very conservative? Yeah, I am typically very

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 2>conservative on basically almost everything, Okay, but I just naturally

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>opposed to these handout to that this really isn't going

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to fix any problem. Like I told her, if you

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>hand every black person fifty thousand dollars check in America,

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it isn't really going to increase the median huscle income

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>by any significant amount in the next decade or two.

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 2>It's not really going to change anything significantly. What we

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.679
<v Speaker 2>need to do is bring back the black nuclear family

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you know, stop the issues and reference

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 2>to violence and reference to gain crime, and then we

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 2>can see some improvements. But this idea that handing people

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 2>a check is going to change something radically is just humorous.

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, how was she packs each other? I think you

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>dm me said that she wanted to cut you off,

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 1>or she didn't want parts of what you said aired right.

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it's it's she just didn't want to debate me.

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Like there was a point where, like I said, redlining

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't exist to the extent that you know, they tried

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.199
<v Speaker 2>to act as if it existed, and you didn't want

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 2>to debate me right there, Like she literally asked the

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>producers just not to debate me, and so they, well,

0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 2>they just wanted her to just finish that debate. They

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 2>try to encourage her to just finish that debate. And yeah,

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean she kept threatening to quit debating a lot

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 2>of people, like multiple different times during the break. I mean,

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 2>it was it was insane. But that's that's wild, you

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>know what.

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't and this would never happen with a white

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>conservative versus white liberal, but she did it to you.

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 1>She said at one point, talk to me like I'm

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>your mama or something. We would never say that to

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>each other. What was your reaction when.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 2>She said that? Well, I just thought, like, what is

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 2>what is going on with this woman? Like is is

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 2>she okay in the head? Like, I don't know how

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>that's a normal thing you can say to someone, like

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>we're having a conversation and someone makes an argument and

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:50.880
<v Speaker 2>you are like, you know, speak to me as if

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I was your mama, Like, well, who says things like that.

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not a normal thing to say. And I remember

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 2>watching the Megan Kelly Show. There was a guy on

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:00.199
<v Speaker 2>there who was like, when if I told someone, you know,

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 2>speak to me as if I was their father during

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the middle of a conversation doesn't really make any sense.

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a weird thing. And yeah, that's a weird way

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.959
<v Speaker 2>to respond to someone's argument, is they should treat you

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.199
<v Speaker 2>or speak to you as if they were you know

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the mother WHOA sorry, it's just so weird.

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 1>What was was her?

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot of her arguments?

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there were grains from what I heard of it.

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I didn't watch the entire episode.

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I literally just watched your segment because I thought you

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 1>were really really well spoken, especially for such a young

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 1>man and who doesn't do this for a living. There

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>were like grains of truth and then a lot of

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.880
<v Speaker 1>emotional attachment to that. Is that what you found when

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 1>she was talking to you?

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.639
<v Speaker 2>I think so. But I didn't really find that a

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of grains of truth really either. I mean, she

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.439
<v Speaker 2>try to act as if black people are still not

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 2>considered what like a full person in America, which obviously

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:52.679
<v Speaker 2>isn't true. So yeah, I mean, it was not a

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of truth. And when, to be honest, I have

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 2>a hypothesis.

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm from Queens, New York, where most Black Americans

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>living in my county are immigrants right there from Jamaica, Caribbean,

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>they have the highest household income of any group of people, right,

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean far so exceeding even white This is according

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 1>to the New York Times. You're an immigrant from I

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>think Angola, Right.

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I came from America in six.

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>So do you think because you were not broad? Maybe

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>you were, but were you.

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Kind of.

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Kind of thrown at what you expect of the black

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:34.399
<v Speaker 1>experience in America in the same way that maybe somebody

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>who's general, who's been here for generations would have been.

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe because because immigrants from Africa, not all of Africa,

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like Sudan and Somalians are not really exceeding, but but

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>immigrants from Jamaica, Angla, black immigrant from Jamaica and gol

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a place like that, Nigeria, they do Kenya, they exceed

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Black Americans who have been here since slavery. Do you

0:24:55.480 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 1>think because having a more immigrant experience had brought you

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:05.439
<v Speaker 1>different kinds of potential and different kinds of understanding what

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like to be an American maybe change why you're

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>more conservative?

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Is that part? I think? I think it may have

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>influenced me a little bit, But I just have to

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 2>preface it by saying I was raised here. I mean,

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been living here since I was six years old.

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot of people, not a lot of people

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 2>can tell you, you know, what they were doing prior to

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the age of six, or even remember a lot of

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.679
<v Speaker 2>those things, right, So the only difference was is that

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I was raised in Maine, which is like a significant

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>majority white state, although I did live around a black

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 2>immigrant community as well, and you know, I was taught

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, by my parents, I should respect this country,

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I should be grateful for being in this country. And

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 2>so I've always had this kind of like appreciative look

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:45.360
<v Speaker 2>on America and its founding in general, where a lot

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>of you know, people like a man Oficios obviously are

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>not very appreciative at all, And that might be some

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of the distinctions and some of the differences. But apart

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 2>from that, yeah, I think my experience.

0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>When I when I said the Emmergan experience, I more

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>meant in your parents than you, Yeah, because your parents

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>would have probably been more like, you need to hustle

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>and make it and do everything that you possibly can.

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Have a different appreciation than somebody.

0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Who's kind of been.

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Rightly or wrongly kind of bay them multi generational of

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like feelings of you know, you're a victim. You're a victim,

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and also every institution will rewards you for believing you're

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a victim.

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, my parents, especially my mother has always told

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.679
<v Speaker 2>me to be appreciative of this country and to always

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 2>look back at you know, where people in Engla, the

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 2>DRC or an id year it currently are. And so

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 2>that's that's one of the reasons why I have been

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 2>a conservative or someone who is proud of this country

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:36.280
<v Speaker 2>is because of the opportunity this country has given me

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 2>and the opportunity this country has given Black Americans. They

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 2>should be very much proud too. I don't get the

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>entitlement because while they may be making I don't know

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 2>on average, I don't know, is it thirty six thousany

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>five thousand dollars a year? There are people are living

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 2>off of a dollar a year right now, right our

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.639
<v Speaker 2>people in Africa. So it's like very much. You got

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:54.399
<v Speaker 2>to be very much appreciative, right, I mean, you would

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 2>much rather be a black black in America than black

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and Sudan. Right. Try to act as if they wouldn't.

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 2>They try to act as if it's like there's always

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 2>this constant mention of the transatlantic slave trade, which did happen.

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 2>But let's be honest, Like when the Europeans were sailing south,

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>either from North America or whatever, It's not like they

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 2>would sail all the way down to Subseran African to

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 2>start grabbing people, grabbing these Africans who are running constantly.

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 2>That's not something that is even it makes any sense.

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 2>These people were already brought as slaves by other African

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 2>rulers of the coast because they knew Europeans would be

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 2>there ready to trade, you know, give them items, gun

0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that for these slaves. It's the majority

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 2>of these slaves were brought by Sub Saharan Africans themselves, who,

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:42.920
<v Speaker 2>by the way, really didn't want the transit land slave

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 2>trade to end because they were enriching themselves, which she

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 2>failed to understand with her you know degree in that

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 2>African American studies.

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you have you been to Angle since moving here?

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no Ah, you've ever been back? Okay.

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering if there was a different opinion of

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>black slavery in Africa versus America. I'm sure there is.

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know what is I've never been in Africa,

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 1>but I just something that kind of popped in my head.

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 1>What you know, I've been doing this whole thing today

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 1>about the New York Times piece about voter registration right,

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and how voter registration has changed away from Democratic Party,

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 1>especially for specifically young men. You are a young man,

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you're eighteen years old. Is this something that you have

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>noticed a phenomenon among other young men in your age group?

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Because young men, young black men went from voting I

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>think ninety six percent for Democrats in twenty twelve just

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 1>something like seventy five percent. So I went from like

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty four to twenty five to one in four. We're

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>voting republic when I was twenty five, voting Republican twelve

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 1>years ago, when you were like six, and now it's

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>like one in four. That's a hu tremendous growth. Is

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that something that you've seen among other like this growth

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>of it, this acceptance, is normalization something you've seen among

0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>other young men your age?

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I definitely have seen it. And the reason obvious for

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 2>why this is the case is because the Democratic Party

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>really isn't giving any solutions. All they are doing is

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 2>telling black people that you're a perpetual victim, and to

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 2>freak out whenever there is a white man or a

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 2>white police officer who want alives you when we have

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, black men being unlived every single day in America,

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 2>And it's really a hypocritical perspective to act as if

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>it is, you know, this atrocity, this significant injustice when

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't come outside every day when there are black

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 2>men being un alive in southside Chicago. So are you

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>really black lives matter? Or are you trying to just

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 2>make white people look bad? Right?

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well you grew up in Maine, you said, which

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>is a fairly liberal state. It's not the most liberal.

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not Vermont, it's really liberal.

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you what do you like when you speak to

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 1>like young, younger white people who have a tremendous level

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 1>of white guilt or like they're extremely woke around race relations.

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you approach that? Because you know a lot

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 1>more I feel like than the average person on even

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like slavery, with what you mentioned today, Yeah, I try

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>to approach with just some like basic questions.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 2>You know that do you ever participate in slavery? Do

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 2>you believe in generational punishment? Right? Countries like North Korea

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>have like the three generational rule where if you know

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>you do something, your children will suffer and you know

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>your your father will suffer or something like that. I mean,

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you don't you shouldn't have to pay for the consequences

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 2>of your ancestors. Not to mention, many of these white

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 2>people today did arrive as immigrants in the seventeen hundreds

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 2>or eighteen hundreds and nineteen hundreds, so a lot of

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 2>them weren't even you know, their their family lineage, weren't

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>even owning any slaves. They should still have to pay reparations.

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 2>A lot of this is fallacious, and there has been

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 2>reparations in terms of investment in low income black communities already.

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 2>For example, I'm pretty sure what is they have Baltimore.

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, Baltimore public schools, it's twenty two thousand,

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>five hundred like dollars per students. There in Utah it's

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 2>like half that, with like eleven thousand per student. And

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 2>yet there's a big difference in like you know, test scores,

0:30:56.960 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 2>in like school outcomes and so on and so forth.

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's not even just funding. A lot of this

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 2>has to do with, you know, the nuclear family, with

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.120
<v Speaker 2>prioritizing education, with having a father in the home, like

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 2>all of those different other factors. We just know that

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>pumping money into things just doesn't fix issues as long

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>as much as like I know, that's what democrats want

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to hear and what leftists want to hear, that if

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you just pump money into these different things and don't

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 2>focus on any cultural problems because there is no cultural

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 2>problems according to the left, that that will fix the issue.

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>But it just doesn't prove to be true.

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 1>It's basically everything in Thomasaul has been saying for eighty

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>five years. What did you ever read him?

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 2>By the way, yes, Thomas Soul, He's also a big inspiration.

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Where did you get your concern? I mean you said

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>your parents, but like where did you learn things from

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the internet mostly or did you read or.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I think a combination of a little bit of both.

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I've looked into Ben Carson, Thomas Soul, and I've just

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 2>done a lot of a decent amount of reading. Not

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I would say, like a crazy amount of ring, but

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I've done decent amount of reading in general. In reference

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 2>to looking at things online, looking at statistics, looking at

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the facts, looking at the data, and then just starting

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to kind of figure things out, right, like one set up,

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>one step at a time, trying to figure things out.

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>And then middle started tiktoking your opinion right, just started Yeah,

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 2>just started doing stick to doll lives.

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Normal gen Z stuff. So just two quick things. So

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>one actually brought up to schools and in have you

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>heard of the miracle from Mississippi? Have you heard of

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>this phenomenon? Mississippi changed a rule when it came to education,

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>which basically means if you could not read at a

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>third grade level, you could not go to fourth grade.

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And there was basically no exemptions. And it was ten

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>years but there was very little financial increases. But they

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 1>got everyone on board. They retrained teachers, they did the

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>science of reading, and black Americans in Mississippi actually have

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>higher test scores than black Americans in Maryland, right among

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>many other places. Refusing to allow people to fail and

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they fail forwards especially is a huge incentive to really

0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>improving the overall standards. Is this something that like is

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>a broad understanding among like, I mean, I can know

0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it's for conservatives, but I know I'm asking you a

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>question me a conservative. Yeah, I believe it's like for

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>other black people.

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's abroad, I don't think most

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 2>black people would necessarily agree with that. I'm not necessarily sure.

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I would assume that they probably you know, woul Int

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 2>grew with it. But like I think it's I think

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it's better for us to focus on, you know, the whole,

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 2>like no Child Left Behind, steff just doesn't work, Like

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 2>we have the data on this stuff. Nothing really is

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 2>fixed by the trying to fix theseusparities, like the whole

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James School that's heavily funded still received like low

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>test word. I'm pretty sure like the Akron Akron aboard

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 2>they figured out that. Hold on, there's so much money

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 2>being pumped in, why are the test scores not, you know,

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>significantly increasing. So, yeah, there's there's cultural.

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Issues here right in among an immigrant you see you're

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you're with a lot of African immigrants in Maine. Was

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:56.959
<v Speaker 1>this a broadly accepted concept among African immigrants in America

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that the family unit is so important to raising people?

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Right? Is that?

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that a big difference between African Americans there's African immigrants.

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 2>No, absolutely, I think there's a different cultural there's a

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 2>significant cultural difference when it comes to that. I believe

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that we're much more appreciative when it comes to United States,

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>less entitled as well more grateful because of where we're

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 2>coming from specifically and understanding that. And yeah, big emphasis

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 2>on the family.

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 1>There's a huge difference from how I've noticed my friends

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>who are African and Caribbean immigrants, how they speak of

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Black Americans, including my own family members. I have a

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 1>few family mems who are Black Caribbean and they are

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:37.480
<v Speaker 1>They do not speak about African Americans the sentence of

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>slaves very well. Just little note, side note. I don't

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 1>know if you can agree and disagree, but I agree.

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:50.760
<v Speaker 1>But the the interesting trend that no one really talks

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 1>about or knows is that black fertility rates African Americans

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 1>hill rates is decline substantially. It's actually lower than whites

0:34:56.880 --> 0:35:00.479
<v Speaker 1>for the first time I think almost ever documented. And

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a bigger and bigger percentage of people who have children

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.919
<v Speaker 1>today who are Black have ancestry in immigration right, which

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is completely different from all historical standards. I wonder if

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that changes the dynamics of the future of how Black

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Americans a significant portion no longer rooting their life to slavery,

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 1>into redlining and to everything else will change their relationship

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:28.800
<v Speaker 1>either not only just between the parties and African Americans,

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but African Americans' opinions of our own country because it

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:32.360
<v Speaker 1>is very low.

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I believe it. I believe it would. It's definitely a

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 2>possibility that there's going to definitely be some change there

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>in general. But I also do see a lot of

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 2>African Americans who try to assimilate into Black American culture

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the times, and you know that's also something.

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:50.520
<v Speaker 1>So what does that means assimiling in Black American culture?

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think a lot of them that are immigrants

0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 2>who come here try to do this thing where they're

0:35:56.280 --> 0:35:59.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to necessarily fit in with all of the narratives

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 2>surrounding Black America Erica, and to me, I find find

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it a lot of cringe cringeing. I'm not saying Black

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>American culture is just gang violence, because of course there's

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 2>more than just gang violence, but a lot of them

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 2>do specifically try to get on the negative parts and

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 2>try to, you know, join gangs or be in the

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.880
<v Speaker 2>street life in general, which I don't understand how you

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 2>could after you come from a third world country and

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you're given such an opportunity, but you know, stuff works

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>I I that's that's really interesting. I live a lot

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:27.799
<v Speaker 1>of times in the zeep South. A half the year

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I spend in Louisiana, so I see a lot of

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that, more than I than I care to.

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you think if you're a young person, if

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you you do some TikTok all the time, what are

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like three two or three things that like young people

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 1>are talking about on the internet As far as because

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you talk a lot about Israel and other things, I've

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>noticed I saw some of your tiktoks?

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 2>What made you engage? Like?

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:54.759
<v Speaker 1>What are the topics that you ask so often find

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself engaged? Obviously it's not all race relations as it

0:36:57.440 --> 0:36:59.879
<v Speaker 1>was in this you you Believe video? No, yeah, it's

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>fleeen Israel and Palestine. And the reason why I started

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:05.520
<v Speaker 1>engaging in those conversations is because I kind of I

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:07.360
<v Speaker 1>saw the whole cures for Palestine movement and I'm like,

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 1>how can you support people who would literally want you

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 1>dead and don't align with the views whatsoever? And you know,

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I went into the whole conversation about you know, Israel

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 1>being that's basically the only democracy in the Middle East,

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the only country where Arabs can vote in the Middle East,

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.279
<v Speaker 1>in the only country that is not an open deocracy

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in the Middle East, who was attacked and should have

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the right to at least defend itself as any other

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 1>country would probably behaved if they were an attacked in

0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the same exact way. And so what I felt that

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I have a duty as an American to support our

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 1>ally and give justifications for why we support our ally

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and why a lot of people just don't have good

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>reasons as to why we shouldn't support Israel. And so

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:47.959
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of how I got into that whole thing,

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of leaks over into the whole idea

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of colonialism of people who are who are victims versus

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, people who can com people who commit atroscies

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.720
<v Speaker 1>on people versus victims. Their whole understanding, I'm very basic understanding.

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I have like two woke white lived cousins who like

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:10.319
<v Speaker 1>say shit like this all the time, but they're like

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.560
<v Speaker 1>they very much opinion is well, if they are brown

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>or therefore they must be victims.

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 2>It kind of does boil down to that. Did you

0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.280
<v Speaker 2>ever come across absolutely that is essentially left this ideology.

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:21.680
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people ask me why don't people care

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 2>about the DRC or Sudan. Is it because the people

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that are black? And that's not really the reason, because

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the Arabs in Gaza are not much different from the

0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Arabs in Cyria or the Arabs in Yemen, who have

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 2>went through worse things and have you know, actually experienced

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hunger while Kaza has received the most

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 2>amount of food or capita. And it's not about the

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>death count obviously either. So what the MA main issue

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:45.080
<v Speaker 2>is that the left in order for them to care

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 2>about anything, is that there has to be a white

0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 2>or if you know, they state they make Jews white

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in order if for it to fit the narrative, you know,

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 2>oppressor slash brown black victim. If there's not that dynamic,

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 2>then they don't really care. It's not about atrocities, it's

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.359
<v Speaker 2>not about who's hungry. It's not about what's going on

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and how bad it is, how bad the conditions are.

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Because when the Rwanda, which is a black majority country

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 2>in some Seran Africa, invades at the RC while they're

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>both black guys, so we can't call Rwanda apparently a

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 2>colonizer because you know, white people never imperialize each other,

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 2>or black people can't imperialize each other. So it's just

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.280
<v Speaker 2>typicualt left this ideology, and that leaks othern to America.

0:39:20.320 --> 0:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>What you said before, why don't you care about the

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 2>southside of Chicago because it's a black person killing another

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 2>black person? Exactly, it's typical left this ideology, the same

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:32.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that works with BLM, the same thing that works

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 2>with the you know, radical movements. You have to have

0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:39.800
<v Speaker 2>that sort of dynamic. You have to have someone to

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 2>blame right.

0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, and unlike I think, unlike leftist theory from even

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty years ago when I was a kid, which is

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot of which is a lot of rooted in

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.400
<v Speaker 1>class dynamics, it's almost all race dynamics.

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's, I guess hints of class dynamics, but

0:39:57.960 --> 0:39:58.839
<v Speaker 1>it's almost.

0:39:58.520 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 2>All the basis of race.

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And I wonder if that has affected because I said

0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 1>this in the in the in the monogue earlier, seventy

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>one percent of white young white men are now registering

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Republicans people who are born when you were born, right,

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 1>That has never happened before, and there's been an increase

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in black and Hispanic too. But I wonder if the

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:23.000
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming consciousness of race being the center of everything has

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:27.520
<v Speaker 1>really turned down young gen Z men like yourself.

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, absolutely, And people say, you know, black fatigue

0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.880
<v Speaker 2>and all these different things. It's really just leftist fatigue

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and leftist ideology fatigue in general. I mean, I think

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 2>everyone's tired of it. I think this is why many

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:39.880
<v Speaker 2>young men, regardless of black or white or you know,

0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 2>leaning more conservative, leaning more right, and which is why

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party is losing out of support, because people

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:47.759
<v Speaker 2>are tired of the Democratic Parties, you know, you know,

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:50.720
<v Speaker 2>exhausted arguments that people are tired of hearing the other victim.

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:53.799
<v Speaker 2>People are tired of not getting any answers or any

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:57.320
<v Speaker 2>explanations whatsoever. And of course it's made the popular party,

0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, made it more unpopular. And when you have

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 2>someone like, for sample, a man of seals who responds

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.319
<v Speaker 2>to people's arguments by saying that, you know, treat me

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 2>as if I was your mom, or speak to me

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 2>as if I was your mom, it's not really, you know,

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 2>anything that's compelling. It's not a compelling argument whatsoever. So

0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how can they not lose a part

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.319
<v Speaker 2>when that's how they behave, when they behave out of emotionality.

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Two quick questions, so too, last questions. One, is there

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>anything you didn't get to say in that Jubilee debate

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 1>that you wished you would have that you could say now?

0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I wanted to mention more, you know,

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:30.879
<v Speaker 2>in like ways that racism has been happening against white people.

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I did mention the University of Western Washington, but for example,

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, who has been touting

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the amount of black people he's hired for his you know, administration,

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and help few white people and all those different things.

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.360
<v Speaker 2>The DJ Actually, I think the Civil Rights Division specifically

0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 2>opened up an investigation into Brandon Johnson because of that, obviously,

0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and that's another waste of something racism has been going on.

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I also wanted to mention United air Yeah, United Airlines,

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 2>because they said that what in the year twenty fifty,

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that there or forty percent of the

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 2>pilots will be block It's like this weird thing where

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 2>you're like, we know for a fact, by this year

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:07.920
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have this many black pilots and we're

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 2>totally not discriminating anyone to get to that point, totally

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:13.320
<v Speaker 2>not right. So I think I wanted to mention that

0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:14.880
<v Speaker 2>as well, because it's like, it's it's silly if if

0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 2>any this is the thing is that it's so hypocritical.

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 2>A lot of black people can do things that white

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.880
<v Speaker 2>people could never do or even say. Right, if any

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:26.280
<v Speaker 2>like you know, black person you know, owned any company

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and said I'm going to make sure that this is

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be fifty percent black by this year, no

0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 2>one's gonna have a problem. Then I's gonna figure out.

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:33.680
<v Speaker 2>If a white person said I'm gona sure this is

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty or sixty percent white by this year, everyone goes out.

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I might as well, you know, do riots and loot

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:41.359
<v Speaker 2>from small businesses when that happens, right, So it's it's

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.919
<v Speaker 2>just humorous. Everyone's tired of this whole you know, you know,

0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.840
<v Speaker 2>white people are guilty, White people are evil, colonizers, and

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:50.880
<v Speaker 2>all these sorts of different things. People are tired of it.

0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's just the truth.

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you find that in like your own life in

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Maine like that? I mean I asked this before, but like,

0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.680
<v Speaker 1>is it more common than not even in a blue

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:01.919
<v Speaker 1>place like that. But do you ever find someone who,

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 1>like a white kid, who does say those things and

0:43:04.239 --> 0:43:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you're like, Wow, this is really refreshing and doesn't come

0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:07.160
<v Speaker 1>off like a crazy person to you.

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I didn't. Well, when I was in Maine, I

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 2>didn't really hear much people will specifically talk about that.

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:15.960
<v Speaker 2>The people in Maine, by the way, are very nice

0:43:16.080 --> 0:43:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in general, very kind hearted people, although I did is

0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:23.239
<v Speaker 2>a majority liberal state, but in general, I mean, I

0:43:23.239 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I've ever heard a lot of these

0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 2>arguments from the white people in main in general. I

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 2>don't think that they're really willing to say that because

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 2>they think that you might come out as racist or evil,

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 2>which you know, brings me to another point is the

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:35.160
<v Speaker 2>fact that if we were sitting across from NSCLS and

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 2>we were white, she would definitely be calling us racist, okay,

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.719
<v Speaker 2>And she tried to exclude me by oh, well, you

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, you came from Africa a little later than

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:46.319
<v Speaker 2>my family did, therefore were better than you in some

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:47.240
<v Speaker 2>sort of way or something.

0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, are more like got that, yes, which is really

0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 1>silly as well. If a white person ever said that

0:43:53.160 --> 0:43:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you're less authentically American to a black person, it would

0:43:56.239 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 1>also be considered racist. Matt, where can people go to

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.359
<v Speaker 1>like listen to you more and see more of your stuff?

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Because I think you're really engaging, that you're really smart.

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you could have a big career in this.

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:08.879
<v Speaker 1>And I was tweeting about you like crazy, saying someone

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and I think you're to twenty thousand followers close to.

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.360
<v Speaker 2>On Twitter and I at twenty one point three or

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:17.439
<v Speaker 2>four thousand followers now, and and I appreciate everyone follow

0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 2>the kind messages and generosity. People can find me on

<v Speaker 2>is Matt Nuclear also on YouTube, and I'm going to

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:32.440
<v Speaker 2>create a Instagram account as well pretty soon so people

0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:35.719
<v Speaker 2>can find me there. Yeah, and you're going to talk

0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 2>about Israel and other stuff like this or yeah, I

0:44:38.360 --> 0:44:41.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about multiple different subjects, whether it's Israel also semic racism,

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:42.320
<v Speaker 2>any of these different things.

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, Matt, You're really smart. I can't wait to see

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.040
<v Speaker 1>where you go with this stuff. And I think that

<v Speaker 2>So thank you so much for having you onrun.

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.240
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to it's a numbers game with Ryan Grodowski.

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back after this message. Well, I think

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Matt Nuclear was super interesting. I hope you liked him

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:00.879
<v Speaker 3>all right.

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.319
<v Speaker 1>So a piece of DC gossip that I heard that

0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought you guys would find fascinating. There is a

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>member of Trump's cabinet. I'm not going to name names

0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:12.440
<v Speaker 1>until this comes out publicly, but you guys put two

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and two together and you'll know what I'm talking about.

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:19.160
<v Speaker 1>There is a member of the cabinet who's well known,

0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's well known that this member, it's a woman,

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 1>is having an affair, a very semi public affair, and

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:27.319
<v Speaker 1>if you're in political circles, you know.

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:32.080
<v Speaker 1>A reporter walked up to her and said to her,

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:34.719
<v Speaker 1>why are you having this affair? Why haven't you met

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:36.520
<v Speaker 1>up with your husand why don't you divorcing your husband?

0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And she blurted out to this reporter who.

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I know, and said, oh, my husband's gay.

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Like what, didn't even try and I don't know, make

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>something up. Oh why we're doing it for the kids,

0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.640
<v Speaker 1>we're still together, Please respect my prep blurt it out,

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:57.600
<v Speaker 1>blurted it out. I don't know if it's going to

0:45:57.640 --> 0:45:58.840
<v Speaker 1>come forward. I don't know if they're going to do

0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:02.719
<v Speaker 1>a story, and it's maybe to gossiping. I found it

0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>so interesting that they just blurted out and whatever, we'll

0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 1>see if it comes about. I thought you guys would

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 1>find it fascinating. If it becomes a story, I'll talk

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>more about it. I don't someone's private life, but if

0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:17.319
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a story, I just think that it's very

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:21.359
<v Speaker 1>interesting that they this person did not try harder to

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:26.000
<v Speaker 1>protect their spouse in this conversation. All right, let's get

0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to ask me anything. I know some people really like

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the gossip, so I try to give it when I

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>have it. All right, so they asked Me Anything segment

0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of this podcast. If you want to part of Ask

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Me Anything, email me Ryan at numbers Game podcast dot com.

0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 1>That's Ryan at numbers Game podcast dot com. The first

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>question I have is from a friend of mine who

0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:46.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want their name revealed, which is most friends of

0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:49.319
<v Speaker 1>mine when they have to associate with me. They say,

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>how does someone who has never been pulled get their

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.760
<v Speaker 1>voice heard? And what is your implication towards voluntary polling

0:46:56.840 --> 0:47:00.239
<v Speaker 1>responses and biases? Okay, this is a great question. So

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 1>there is a polling bias in the sense that people

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:09.000
<v Speaker 1>who want to be polls listen. Polling is very expensive, right,

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It's extremely expensive. Polls cost thirty forty fifty thousand dollars

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>per pole. That's why you're seeing fewer and fewer poles

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:16.480
<v Speaker 1>come out. By the way, if you notice there was

0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot more polls back in twenty sixteen and twenty twelve,

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>when you could just still still sit there and call

0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:24.359
<v Speaker 1>a landline or you know, just get a hold too

0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 1>much easier. It's much harder now and you have to

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:29.640
<v Speaker 1>use different forms of technology to get a hold of somebody.

0:47:29.680 --> 0:47:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, the.

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Story with polling biases. People who answer polls are asked

0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:42.040
<v Speaker 1>again more often because they know they're likely to answer,

0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.520
<v Speaker 1>so it creates a polling bias. And also people who

0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:49.560
<v Speaker 1>are highly engaged in polling usually want to answer them more.

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:51.359
<v Speaker 1>That's the kind of like the bias. And you can

0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 1>see it sometimes in the cross tabs when you see

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you'll see a poll and it'll be like Trump is

0:47:57.320 --> 0:48:01.160
<v Speaker 1>losing perfect I have perfect perfec. For example an Seltzer

0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:03.799
<v Speaker 1>and Seltzer's famous Iowa pull from twenty twenty four. I

0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:06.080
<v Speaker 1>called this as BS from the get go, and why

0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:07.400
<v Speaker 1>do I call it this bs? From the get go,

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:11.560
<v Speaker 1>they had Trump losing white women over sixty five by

0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like thirty points. It was his worst demographic. Now, sixty

0:48:15.480 --> 0:48:17.560
<v Speaker 1>five year old white women in Iowa are more than

0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:23.120
<v Speaker 1>likely fairly religious, evangelical. They're probably not watching Rachel Maddow,

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that is, and yet they were overwhelmingly shown in this poll.

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:30.879
<v Speaker 1>They were overwhelmingly noticed in this poll. And you could

0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just spot it out saying there's there shouldn't be this

0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:38.120
<v Speaker 1>forty point demographic fallout with population. It's fairly fixed. It's

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:41.240
<v Speaker 1>not like you know your your there's a huge population

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:45.240
<v Speaker 1>changed in Iowa. It's not like you're importing a million

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:47.319
<v Speaker 1>sixty five year olds and their sixty five year old women.

0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:50.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a very obvious thing, and so you can

0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:52.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of spot the biases there. And that's why a

0:48:52.600 --> 0:48:56.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of these pollsters are showing up huge problems when

0:48:56.520 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it comes to their results, especially when Trump's involved, because

0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:01.919
<v Speaker 1>they can't get a hold of the low information voter

0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:04.399
<v Speaker 1>or something they don't want to show them. They would

0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:06.640
<v Speaker 1>love to that the polster who got it right. A

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:08.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of them can't find them, and they do the

0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:12.160
<v Speaker 1>lazy work, and if a poll asks like seventy five

0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 1>eighty questions, only someone who's so deranged like me would

0:49:16.640 --> 0:49:18.799
<v Speaker 1>answer eighty questions to a polster and they can't wait

0:49:18.840 --> 0:49:21.040
<v Speaker 1>for it. A normal poll would be like seven eight

0:49:21.120 --> 0:49:22.960
<v Speaker 1>questions because someone's got to cook dinner, they got to

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:24.120
<v Speaker 1>go take care of the kids, they got to do

0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 1>they got to go to work. They're not answering eighty questions.

0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 1>So you can kind of see the participation rates by

0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:31.719
<v Speaker 1>how many questions are asked of whether or not it

0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 1>has a likelihood have a high voter bias. How do

0:49:35.960 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you get your voice across answer one poll? I mean,

0:49:39.080 --> 0:49:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that's basically it. You probably will get polled at least

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 1>one point. You can't ask the polster like, oh, please,

0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>please reach out to me, but if you answer once,

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:50.879
<v Speaker 1>you'll more than likely be asked again. I can ask

0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:53.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty frequently to answer a poll because they know I

0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:57.680
<v Speaker 1>answer them. But I'm the wrong person because I love politics.

0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm too involved.

0:49:58.640 --> 0:49:59.520
<v Speaker 2>You need people who.

0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Are not so in love to be more representative. Anyway,

0:50:02.719 --> 0:50:04.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. Thank you to my friend who

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:07.560
<v Speaker 1>asked a question. Last question of the Paul today comes

0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:11.200
<v Speaker 1>from John from Connecticut. He writes, Ryan great podcasts. I

0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:14.040
<v Speaker 1>know you favorite jdvans, but what is Disanta's path to

0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the presidency if you are gaming it out? He can't

0:50:17.360 --> 0:50:19.920
<v Speaker 1>wait eight years of JD? Does he need the economy

0:50:19.960 --> 0:50:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to crash or what other considerations are at play?

0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I like both JD and Dessanta's. I think Desanda has

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:29.000
<v Speaker 1>been a great governor JD.

0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I worked for him.

0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big fan of what he does publicly, so

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not you know, I'm not besmirching one or the other.

0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:40.239
<v Speaker 1>They're two totally different types of animals. And I met

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:42.880
<v Speaker 1>It's very well known because I wrote about it because

0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it was being leaked about. But I met with Dessanta's

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to try to talk to about the twenty twenty four

0:50:47.160 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>election primary. And this is Desanta's problem one. The policies

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.560
<v Speaker 1>are there, but the vibes aren't. He's got to loose

0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. And I sat talking about music the

0:51:01.120 --> 0:51:02.480
<v Speaker 1>other day, but it was kind of stiff what he

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.879
<v Speaker 1>was saying. He needs to show more that he's a dad.

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>He needs to show more that he is a person.

0:51:08.160 --> 0:51:11.640
<v Speaker 1>He needs to show less about policy. He needs to

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:14.800
<v Speaker 1>build his social media following. That's like more friendly towards

0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:16.680
<v Speaker 1>like who he is as a person. I mean, that's

0:51:16.719 --> 0:51:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a four year job right there, and I don't know

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:21.480
<v Speaker 1>if he's even comfortable doing that. Like I told when

0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I talked to the Sandas, I said to him, you

0:51:23.760 --> 0:51:26.560
<v Speaker 1>need to bring up the fact that if he for

0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:29.760
<v Speaker 1>as good as a ballplayer as you were and as smart

0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>as you are, you would have not likely gotten to

0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Yale if you were born twenty years apart because you're

0:51:35.520 --> 0:51:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a white man and they're discriminated against. And he wouldn't

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:40.000
<v Speaker 1>bring that up. And I know people brought up to

0:51:40.040 --> 0:51:42.399
<v Speaker 1>him afterwards and he would not bring that part up.

0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>So he'd have to tactically move to the right in

0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:50.040
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable conversations that I don't think that he's been willing

0:51:50.080 --> 0:51:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to have. He needs to show more of his personal side.

0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:59.239
<v Speaker 1>But look, unless Jad really says something wild and out there,

0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.839
<v Speaker 1>or Trump and horses against him, I don't think there's

0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.080
<v Speaker 1>anyone who could beat him. And I'm just being frank.

0:52:05.160 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how to game it out because

0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:11.800
<v Speaker 1>it just I just don't see how that's I just

0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:15.120
<v Speaker 1>don't see the path. There's only been one vice president

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:17.879
<v Speaker 1>who's ever ran for the party's nomination and lost it

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:20.200
<v Speaker 1>in any sort of living memory, and it was Mike

0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Pence and it's only because he ran against Donald Trump.

0:52:24.400 --> 0:52:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I think doing what I advised to Santas to do

0:52:29.640 --> 0:52:31.680
<v Speaker 1>would help him overall long term if he wanted to

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:33.239
<v Speaker 1>be a senator, which I don't think he wants to be,

0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:35.799
<v Speaker 1>or do something else, or prepare for a run at

0:52:35.800 --> 0:52:41.560
<v Speaker 1>some point, but it's very difficult to unsee the party's

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:44.359
<v Speaker 1>nominee also talk less about Florida. I was, I told

0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:47.440
<v Speaker 1>it to Santa's, like, no one like the whole country

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is in Florida. I know you guys love it down

0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:51.560
<v Speaker 1>there and you think you're your own country, but it's

0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not the whole country like some people do want

0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:56.879
<v Speaker 1>to live in Michigan. So like, I mean, you got

0:52:56.920 --> 0:52:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk about bigger things than that. Anyway, I like

0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Desanta's I'm not I'm not crapping on him, and I

0:53:01.760 --> 0:53:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm I'm a big fan of JD. But

0:53:03.760 --> 0:53:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what I would best advise. I guess if I

0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:09.080
<v Speaker 1>was going to take on climbing that adverse, which is that?

0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:11.280
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, thank you guys for listening. To this podcast.
