I'm going to touch 48 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: on about three different topics today. We're not talking about 49 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 4: politics here now today, guys, I just want to talk 50 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 4: about how some of these issues that you guys are 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: seeing on TV is going to affect you in your 52 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 4: bottom line. I'm going to talk to you about what's 53 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: going on on the college campuses, you know, being out 54 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 4: here in southern California. We saw a lot of drama 55 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: over at UCLA USC, but you're seeing it, damn your 56 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 4: nationwide everywhere you go. You got some drama going out 57 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 4: in New York pretty much any IVY League school, any 58 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 4: US USC system. Everywhere I look, I see this drama. Now, 59 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: I'm again not talking about the politics side of this, guys, 60 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: but I want to talk about what's going to happen 61 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 4: as some of these protesters and with AI facial recognition, 62 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 4: how this could affect the future and the job opportunities 63 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 4: that they're going to have. And then while we're on 64 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: that subject, I want to talk about just one question 65 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: I got for y'all, is college a scam? You know 66 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 4: when I went to college, In fact, I went to 67 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 4: cal State Fullerton, And I want to talk a little 68 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: bit about how the college education system, I feel is 69 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 4: failing ninety percent of the youth that are graduating today. 70 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: And then on that note, we're going to talk about 71 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: the six billion dollars of college debt that just got 72 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: announced that they're going to wipe off on top of 73 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: the sixty plus billion that got announced, So we're really 74 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 4: going to dive into that. And finally, another hot button 75 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: subject that we're not going to go down on the 76 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 4: politics side of it, but I want to talk about 77 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 4: the money side of it, and that's this whole DEI 78 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: if you don't know what that is, that's diversity, equity 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: and inclusion and how it's affecting business. So essentially, Connor, 80 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: you know, I got my sound Egeor Connor today here 81 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: to sound off with me, because hey, the dudes went 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: to college. He's one of the smartest young kids that 83 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: I know. In fact, he's smarter than some of the 84 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: old timers that I know. 85 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 5: But college. Connor has traveled the world. 86 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: He is a professional soccer player, and he knows a 87 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: little about a lot, which. 88 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 5: Is how I describe myself a lot. 89 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: Connor, and you have great insight, now, you know when 90 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 4: I talk about what's happening on the college campus today, guys, 91 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: so obviously we know what's going on in the world 92 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: some ugly situations. It's it's a very polarizing subject. It's 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: something that you know, no one's ever going to change 94 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: their mind about it, if you're on one side or 95 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 4: the other. I'm on the side of humanity. I don't 96 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: like seeing people die for no reasons. At the end 97 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: of the day, I look at it as no, there's 98 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 4: no peace in profit, and war is profit, and this 99 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 4: is a profit machine, and that's the way I look 100 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: at it. I don't think it has anything to do 101 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: with what we're spoon fed. But staying on topic, what 102 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 4: I want to say is like, look, man, I was 103 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: watching something with the If you guys know who Kevin 104 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 4: O'Leary is, he's from the Shark Tank, and I saw 105 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: him do a couple of news programs and he's talking 106 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: about how there's companies right now that have AI facial recognition, 107 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: and I see a lot of these students, protesters, they're 108 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 4: covering their face with basically the surgical masks left over 109 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: from the scandemic, and the surgical masks are they're thinking 110 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: is going to cover their face and their instructors, their 111 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: future employers won't be able to recognize it. At what 112 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: mister Wonderful was saying, or Kevin was saying, is that listen, man, 113 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: the technology right now is so massive and the TVs 114 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 4: have such clarity, the cameras, the four K cameras that 115 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 4: we have here, that it's just by utilizing the iris 116 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: and the eye recognition that they can tell you who 117 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: you are, where you want to school, what college you attended, 118 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 4: and quite possibly you know, if you're in a company 119 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: that didn't align with your values, there is a scenario 120 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: where you could not get a job. So I look 121 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 4: at this as you know, a lot of these protesters 122 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: are being funded by triple organizations. Again, it's not that 123 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 4: I agree to disagree with them by any means. In fact, 124 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 4: I know that this country was founded on protests. We 125 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 4: had the Vietnam War, We've had other wars where there's 126 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: been protests. We have the George Floyd event that happened. 127 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 6: I mean, we gained our own independence, like it, you know, 128 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 6: it's a whole thing. 129 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 130 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, And by no means do I want to minimize 131 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: the protesters. I support a lot of the causes that 132 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: they stand for. And again I'm not a pro war person, 133 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: so and I don't believe that we should be funding 134 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 4: other countries' wars. I mean, that's just my blanket stance, 135 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: regardless of which side of the war that you're on. 136 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: But I'm just talking about the future that these kids have. 137 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: You know, they signed up with the contract at these 138 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: higher educations institutions, right and at the end of the day, 139 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: it's really saddening to me if some of them are 140 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 4: getting sucked and some of them may not even know 141 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: what they're protesting, or some of them may just show 142 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: up because their friends showed up, and it could be 143 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: something that really affects their future. So my question for you, Connor, 144 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: since I don't have a live studio audience today, is 145 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 4: you know, put yourself in their shoes right now when 146 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 4: you left college, do you think it would affect you 147 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 4: knowing that you know potentially your your future could be 148 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: impacted if you were protesting for a cause. 149 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: That's a good question, and you know, I think there's 150 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 3: multiple ways to answer this. Of course, you know, you 151 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 3: have to keep your career in mind, but also if 152 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 3: you feel like, you know, it's the right thing that 153 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 3: you got to do to go and protest, then you know, 154 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: by all means it's more power to you. So, you know, 155 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: I think that if there were, you know, if there 156 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: was a protest that I felt like I've you know, 157 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: wanted to go to, I'd probably go and do it. However, 158 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 3: you know, we had a few protests during my time 159 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: during university, like COVID was happening, we had a lot 160 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: of the BLM situation going down, so there were some 161 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: that happened. But obviously there are greater implications and like 162 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: that's just you know, you can't have it all. That's 163 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: what I have to remind myself. And you know, if 164 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: you go out there and put yourself at risk, you know, 165 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: there are potential consequences to that. So you know, I 166 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: think that to each their own they need to make 167 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: their own decision. 168 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: Well, that's a very politically centered answer, and I and 169 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: I and I hear you on that.

Now that sounds like cliff fake shit 286 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 4: right off the surface. But what I want to talk 287 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 4: about is listen, man, when I look back at when 288 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: I went to school, and in fact, Connor pulled that 289 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 4: up on. 290 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 5: Like, actually, it's just Calciate pollet right. 291 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: I went to Calciate bulletins, and if I look at 292 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 4: their slogan, I believe it. 293 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 5: Is I don't want to misquote it. It is there. 294 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: It is achieved greatness through us. 295 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: Right. 296 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: So basically, this is a social contract you're creating with 297 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: the school. In this particular school, my alma mater, their 298 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: slogan has achieved greatness, and their implication is that you 299 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: spend your money, you go to a four year school, 300 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: you leave with the bachelor's. 301 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 5: And you're going to achieve greatness. 302 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 4: And of course, achieving greatness involves having wealth prosperity and 303 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 4: making money. And what I've seen now what's happening at 304 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 4: these colleges, Connor, And again I want to bounce back to. 305 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 5: You because I know you went. 306 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: Is that you know maybe ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, 307 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: thirty years ago. You know, having that degree, you got 308 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: you twenty thirty percent more income, You were more competitive 309 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 4: in the marketplace. And you know, by no means do 310 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 4: I say stay uneducated or that college is not important. 311 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: But I think certain industries, engineering, medical, being an astronaut, 312 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: you know a handful of other industries where yes, you 313 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 4: do need that higher education, exactly right. But you know, 314 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: if I look back at eighty percent of my friends 315 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: the graduated college, you got a sociology degree, you got 316 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 4: afrolithic studies, you got you know, cooking, you got blah 317 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: blah blah. And a lot of the people are just 318 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 4: picking these miners don't know what they want to do 319 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: in their lives, and they leave and they go there. 320 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: And a lot of the schools are now going into 321 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 4: this indoctrination model of telling you what to believe, telling 322 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 4: you you know what's going on in the world there 323 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: while you're supposed to go there to be exposed to 324 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 4: various thought formats. What I see on these campuses now 325 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: is that if your thought is not mainstream thought, you're 326 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: being screamed at, You're being talked over, yelled at, ostros, 327 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 4: et cetera. But looking at the money side of it, 328 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 4: a lot of these kids are graduating college right now, 329 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 4: and they got fifty sixty one hundred thousand in debt. 330 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 4: You go to an IVY league, you're approaching one fifty 331 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 4: and then if you get additional education, you're approaching two 332 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: hundred thousand. You leave school, you got this great piece 333 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 4: of paper, you did the whole walk, you had, your 334 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 4: family came, everybody was happy. You go look for a 335 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: job and you can't get a job paying you more 336 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 4: than fifty sixty seventy thousand if you're lucky, right. And 337 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 4: the worst part of it is if you want to 338 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: start a business and you go to get a business loan, 339 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: they're not giving you a business loan. The SBA, which 340 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 4: is a federal funding agency, isn't even given an you loan. 341 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: But guess what, you want to go back to school, 342 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: They'll give you more money. They'll run it up, they'll 343 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 4: run it up. 344 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 5: And so to me. 345 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: That's the part where I question, is this college model 346 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: now a scam. It's become a business, it's become an institution. 347 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 4: The trillions and trillions of dollars that we're sitting on 348 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 4: student debt, and then there became these third parties that 349 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: would buy up the debt and then they would consolidate 350 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: your debt. So every time I see other agencies piling in, 351 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 4: other organizations piling in to make money off the money 352 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: that they're charging you, it just kind of becomes like 353 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 4: taxation right where you're getting taxed on tax and tax. 354 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 5: Yes, if you don't mind me asking, Connor, you want 355 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 5: four years, right? Yeah? 356 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: I went four years two different schools, so I was 357 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: over abroad and that was my soccer career as well 358 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: as at the same time doing a four year sports 359 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: management program. And I transferred after three semesters there, and 360 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: so when I came back here, that's when I switched 361 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: to the General BA Business Administration major at Chapman University, 362 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: which is. 363 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 4: Not a cheap school, Chapman's and for those of you 364 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: that don't know, it's it's not an IVY league, but 365 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: it's definitely. 366 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: One of it's a private it's a private school, so 367 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: you know, you're paying that freight essentially. Luckily, you know, 368 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 3: with soccer and some of my academics, I was able 369 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: to get some money off, of course. 370 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 6: But ultimately, you know, my experience was a little bit more. 371 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 3: Niche because it was a private school, like you know, 372 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 3: private religious school, so you know, the the state doesn't 373 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: have as much say as so what material I'm being taught. 374 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 3: So you know, I was honestly like my experience at Chapman, 375 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: it wasn't too I didn't feel like I. 376 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 6: Was, you know, being indoctrinated in any way. 377 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 3: However, that kind of mode of thinking is now present 378 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: on college campuses in general, so it's not like, you know, 379 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: you're not exposed to it. And you know, ultimately, I 380 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: you know, I enjoyed my college experience. However, I do 381 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 3: see the value in doing shit practically, like I, you know, 382 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: almost went to film school, and part of me thanks, 383 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: you know, I'm glad I didn't go because I was 384 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 3: able to get the practical experiences in the fields within. 385 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 6: Media that I wanted and so you know, I'm now 386 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 6: I'm you know, I'm here doing it. 387 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: And not to say that film school is a bad 388 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: choice However, you can do everything practically if you want to. 389 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 3: And like you always say on all your shows, your 390 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: net worth is your network. Your network is your net worth, 391 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 3: and you know it takes the right person at the 392 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: right time, saying the right thing to get that golden opportunity. 393 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: So you know there is a time and a place 394 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: for you to go pursue academia. Like you said, there's 395 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of fields where that's you know, it's predestined, 396 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: predetermined where you know, I want to be an astronaut, 397 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: so I have to go through all of the proper 398 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 3: science fields to go and do that. However, you know, 399 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: if you're trying to do a little bit something more general, 400 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: or if you don't have the idea, don't feel boxed 401 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 3: in by having to pay those huge college payments. 402 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 6: And that's what I'll say about it. 403 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 4: How much would your if you didn't have a scholarship, 404 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 4: how much would that have total cost you? 405 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: With room board intuition based on the four year that 406 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 5: you went. 407 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 3: To look it was still a check. The numbers steep, 408 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: so you know it was the four years. 409 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 5: Would it have been about eighty to granted. 410 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 6: A sticker price for Chapman SRP. Yeah, sixty per year. 411 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: Sixty per year, Yes, so if you're going there for 412 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 5: four year, that's a cool quarter millon exactly. 413 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 3: And so you know, Chapman then at that point, like 414 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 3: you know, they understand it's a you know, expensive ticket. 415 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 3: So the way that they do it, you know, when 416 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 3: you're coming in for the for all four years, they 417 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: give you a pretty solid rate where I had a 418 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 3: lot of friends that didn't have to you know, go 419 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 3: and they didn't pay you know, all sixty that's for sure. 420 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 3: I transferred in so there's a bit less money for 421 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 3: transfer the first two years, right exactly. So you know, 422 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 3: my my ticket over in England was probably about half that, 423 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 3: maybe a little you know more a little less than half. 424 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 6: But ultimately I feel pretty fulfilled with my education. 425 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 3: And you know, I had some pretty solid professors that 426 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 3: you know, taught me a lot about multiple fast it's 427 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: of business. And also you know, I'm minored in leadership, 428 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: so I was able to you know, learn a little 429 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 3: bit about myself and others in that and so you know, 430 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 3: I and I also made a lot of good connections there, 431 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 3: so you know, I I do see the value of college. 432 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: I don't want to put anyone off of it. If 433 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 3: that's what you want to do. However, Tony's lobbying right now, 434 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: consider your options, you know, that's not. 435 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 5: Or manage your expectations. 436 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: You know, if you're going to do what Connor did 437 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: and you went to Chapman for four years, you come 438 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: out with quarter million dollars in debt. Don't think you're 439 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 4: going to roll out and have a six figure job. 440 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 4: You know, we get applications here all the time, but 441 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 4: I remember back when I was on Wall Street. 442 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 5: Same thing. 443 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 4: If I have an intern applying, or if I have 444 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 4: a junior associate applying, or even a financial bisor and 445 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: training applying, and I see a college resume, whether it's 446 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 4: from Chapman, whether it's from UCLA or calcid A Fullerton. 447 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: Quite frankly, I don't give a shit. I'm looking at all. Right, 448 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: where'd you intern at? 449 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 5: Did you go? Did you intern at Goldman Sacks? Did 450 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 5: you intern at mary Lynch? 451 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 4: And to me, that has more value and doesn't cost anything, right, 452 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 4: if you have what it takes to make it in 453 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 4: that industry. Again with the that if you want to 454 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: be an astronaut, a frigging doctor, or spaceship or an analyst. 455 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 5: There are certain industries that you need for that. 456 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 4: Go for that because I don't want to no astronaut 457 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 4: or a doctor that you know that you know didn't 458 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 4: go to school or skip college. But you know, if 459 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: you think you want to be in business, or if 460 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 4: you think you want to be in media, or you 461 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 4: want to be a sociology major, what the hell is 462 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 4: a sociology major? By the way, like what job do 463 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 4: you get applying for when you leave college with a 464 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 4: sociology degree? And again not to shit on anybody with 465 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: a sociology degree, I'm sure it looks great on the wall, 466 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 4: But what is a sociology degree get you? 467 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 6: I mean you're going to be probably working for the government. 468 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 5: Women's studies, you know major. What does that get you? Yeah? Man? 469 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 6: And that's that's the whole that's my whole point. 470 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 4: So when I say college is a scam, I'm not 471 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: shitting on the whole higher education model. I'm just saying that, like, look, man, 472 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: just know what your future is. And if you don't 473 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 4: know what you want, don't want to do yet college 474 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 4: isn't going anywhere. Start on an internship. So while you're 475 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 4: in your mind, or do what you did right, go 476 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 4: to a college that cost a little bit less. Your 477 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 4: little four year degree from UCLA isn't going to do 478 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: you anything unless you want to get into that higher education. Now, 479 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 4: looking at the money side of it, recently he was 480 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 4: announced that we waved another seven hundred and fifty billion 481 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 4: dollars or sixty seven billion dollars excuse me, on top 482 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 4: of what we already did, and the cost to us 483 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: now is going to approach one point for trillion dollars 484 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: that we're going to forgive over this time period. By 485 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 4: the way, that's more debt than in the history of 486 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 4: all of higher education that we've spent. Now, why is 487 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 4: that cost? Why is it going to cost that much? 488 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 4: Connor with your college education? 489 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 6: You give me your financial resons, all. 490 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 5: Right, man, It's called interest. Guys. 491 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 4: Look listen, when I was younger, you know, I love 492 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: the giveaway programs. I wanted my credit card debt waved. 493 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: I wanted to, you know, apply for the stuff that 494 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: would consolidate shit and get rid of it. Not bankruptcy, 495 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 4: but if there was a hustle, if there was grind. 496 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: So I'm not I'm not coming at you guys from 497 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: some guy that's ultra wealthy or just sitting on his 498 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 4: high horse saying no, you don't deserve free shit. But 499 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: what I'd like to educate some of the younger people 500 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 4: on or even people that don't understand it, is we're 501 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 4: all going to pay for it. And if you have kids, 502 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: or if you want to have kids, right now, when 503 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 4: you look at what's happening to your when you go 504 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 4: to the grocery store and you're bitching about you know, 505 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: gallon of milk being eight dollars, a slight, a pad 506 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 4: of bacon being nine dollars at freaking Trader Joe's when 507 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 4: it was literally fifty percent less ten years ago. That's 508 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 4: what inflation is. And guess what all of that and 509 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 4: everything that you're seeing, and the higher taxes and all 510 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 4: the crap that you're seeing and everybody bitching about the money. 511 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: This is all a result of all of these different 512 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 4: assistance programs. Now, some people need assistance. I'm all for 513 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 4: helping people, but when you have so much government bureaucracy 514 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 4: we have, we have more money goes to our government employees, 515 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 4: the millions of people being employed by the government, and 516 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 4: just the layers of crap that is entailed in that 517 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 4: that cost is the skim And again why is they 518 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 4: remember earlier. It's just to kind of bring this full circle, y'all. 519 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 4: Remember when I was saying that right now you can 520 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: graduate school. They won't give you a business loan, but 521 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 4: they would be more college debt. And that's the problem. 522 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 4: They've built the system that's self funding itself, situating a 523 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: machine to make money for these higher institutions that are 524 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 4: all lobbying the government to do that. And again it 525 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 4: always goes back to lobbying than the almighty dollar. You 526 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 4: follow where I'm going with that, Connor. 527 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, and we're like encouraged, like you're essentially encouraged 528 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: to keep going back to school. We can't buy houses, 529 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: there's no property we can buy. Like all the students 530 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 3: and in my generation are being priced out of, you know, 531 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 3: getting physical assets. And it's it's frustrating and I'm in 532 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 3: the I'm in the Renter's loop right now. And it's like, 533 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: you know, the structure of school doesn't sound that bad, 534 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Or like, hell, I want. 535 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 5: To go back to school right now, Connor, shit, for sure, 536 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 5: like you. 537 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: Be able to goon around and whatever and not have to, 538 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: you know, worry about you know, grown up life. Not 539 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: not that school isn't grown up life. However, having that 540 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: backbone of school is nice to have. And so you know, 541 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 3: we're I feel like it's then we're being encouraged to 542 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: do so because of how much the cost. 543 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: Of living, you know, and you know another layer that 544 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: I'll to that and then I'll leave this one alone. 545 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: But essentially, you know, I remember being in school and 546 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 4: some of the some of the highest some of the 547 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 4: some of the other students that I went to school with, 548 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 4: some of my friends that had way night. You know, 549 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 4: I busted my ass. I was a bartender or a 550 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 4: server or dishwasher. I worked at Olive Garden, Little Caesars 551 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 4: TGI Fridays. You know, I mean I I had always 552 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 4: multiple jobs. I was always you know, grinding it out. 553 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 4: My mom obviously helped me out going through school as well. 554 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 4: But you know, because my parents were middle class, you know, 555 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 4: my mom was a hairstylist. My dad worked at Cali 556 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 4: State fullertin and I'd got no freebies from that, and 557 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 4: I'd go to fill out the FAFSA and I'd go 558 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 4: to fill out all that crap that we'd have to 559 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: to get student aid, and I never qualified for the 560 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 4: ultra free shit. 561 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 5: You know. 562 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: It was always like, well it's subsidized, you pay portion 563 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. But I remember the guys with 564 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 4: the nicest cars with you know, a lot of the 565 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 4: Asian people that had the best freaking life. When I 566 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 4: say Asian, I mean like you know, the Chinese, Asian, Japanese, 567 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 4: et cetera, and a lot of my friends. I mean 568 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 4: this wasn't a racial thing, but because the way that 569 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: their parents struggled. My parents were always you know, ten 570 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 4: w two employees, they pay their taxes, you know, they 571 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 4: worked nine to fives or my mom was a hairstylist, 572 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: like I said, but they didn't have these corporations where 573 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 4: they can basically on paper look like they had no 574 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 4: revenue yet had assets. Right, I mean, this is a lead. 575 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: They weren't doing anything wrong, they were playing by the rules. 576 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 4: But the rules is indicated that if you had a 577 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: certain amount of income, you didn't qualify. But if on 578 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 4: paper your parents could show that they didn't have income, 579 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 4: well then guess what they got everything for free? 580 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 5: Right? 581 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: So that's my problem with this is, like we all 582 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 4: busted our ass. There's generations of us that went to 583 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 4: school busted our asked to pay our student loans. And 584 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 4: where's the fairness in that now? Like again, I'm rooting 585 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: for the people getting their shit waved. I know what 586 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 4: it's like to be a college kid and to have 587 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 4: that entire thing waved off and not to owe anything, 588 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 4: you know, congratulations. Yeah, I'm not hating on that, but 589 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 4: I'm saying, we're doing this now. But then we did 590 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: it with the bankers, and we did it with the airlines. 591 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 4: You remember when we bailed out the air lines. I'm like, 592 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: why are we bailing out the airlines? You know, airlines 593 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 4: have record numbers again right now. They're not lowering their prices. 594 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 5: What do they do. 595 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 4: They increase their stock divit and they increase their share value. 596 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: They drive their stock higher. When they could be we 597 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 4: could have required them to say, hey, we're going to 598 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 4: bail you out, but going forward, you got to have 599 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 4: a billion dollars in reserves. So the next time we 600 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 4: went force you to shut down, or the rules change, 601 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 4: or there's you know, gaskets too expensive, we don't have 602 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 4: to bail you out. But we don't do that. We 603 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 4: just gave them free money. But when I say free, 604 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 4: it's the same free money that is paying off the 605 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 4: student debt that bailed out the airlines, that pailed out 606 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 4: the banks. We didn't put any restrictions on them. And 607 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: then it just comes full. 608 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,959 Speaker 6: Circle and get going free. 609 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 4: All that shit that I just said that was free, 610 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 4: it's not free. Your kids are going to pay for it. 611 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 5: Now. 612 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 4: Some of you don't give a shit, And I understand that. Again, 613 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: I've been there and I respect that too. I'm not hating. 614 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 4: This is just purely educating the masses that when they 615 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 4: say free and when they say, you know, we're forgiving 616 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 4: student debt, no you're not. You're just moving that debt 617 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 4: to a different group. 618 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 6: What people need right accounting clerical thing. 619 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 4: And if you google socialism, that's the definition of socialism. 620 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 5: Socialism is an. 621 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 4: Ugly word, but when you create a lot of policies 622 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 4: that create what socialism is. When you're just moving money 623 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 4: from one community to another, from one sector to another 624 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 4: and trying to supposely even the playing field, you're creating 625 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 4: an environment where the rules are different. 626 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. 627 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're already fucking petting there.

Hear you now, 665 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 4: you guys, we're back here on financial Fridays on IR 666 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 4: Radio's Cannabis Talk one on one, the number one source 667 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 4: for everything cannabis. I want to talk to you guys 668 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: now about d EI Now again another hot button subject, 669 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: something that is talked about, you know again, a political 670 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 4: hot button. I think when people really try to take 671 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 4: a position on it, it's for an angle, especially if 672 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 4: it's somebody that's uneducated on the topic. I think there's 673 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 4: a lot of lobbying dollars and as always, you know, 674 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 4: on the show, I like to peel aback, peel back 675 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 4: the curtain, and really look at what's the money motivation 676 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 4: behind THEI Right. So, if you guys remember something called 677 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 4: affirmative action, this was another you know, government regulation, if 678 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 4: you will, for lack of a better word, it's probably 679 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 4: not the right word, but but but standard that was 680 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: placed that said, you look, you know, African American students, 681 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 4: maybe minority students, are underrepresented in these Ivy League schools, 682 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 4: and we're now going to require you to have a 683 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 4: certain percentage of the population or of your admissions be 684 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 4: in these certain demographics. And if you don't hit those, 685 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 4: you won't get the federal funding, et cetera, et cetera. Now, 686 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 4: after many years of it being controversial of some smart 687 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 4: kids not being let in and the dumber kids, for 688 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 4: lack of better word, being let in, this thing got 689 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 4: challenged all the way up and I think Connor, you 690 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: looked it up. Sometime in twenty twenty three, the Supreme 691 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 4: Court kind of shut it down. 692 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, they, you know, like you said, shut it down. 693 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: As of last year. However, Tony lead us into the 694 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: two point zero version of this. 695 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 4: Well, two point zero is called DEI man. This is 696 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 4: another thing that kind of popped up here. Nobody knew 697 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 4: what the hell the EI was. Five years ago, somebody 698 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 4: somewhere in a think tank, you know, came up with 699 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 4: this solution. And on the surface, as always, I'm all 700 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 4: about equity. I'm a minority myself. I came to this 701 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 4: country when I was three years old. 702 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 5: It was tough. 703 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 4: I definitely felt the level of racism, especially growing up 704 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 4: in Texas back then. It's obviously changed a lot, But 705 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, when I looked at, 706 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 4: you know, again, growing up, I'm all for inclusion. I'm 707 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 4: all about equal representation. And I get that there's certain 708 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 4: demographics and namely African Americans in this country that historically 709 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 4: have been per whether you're being persecuted, et cetera. 710 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 5: But it's not just African Americans. 711 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 4: You have Indians, you have Native Indians, you have real Indians, 712 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 4: you have Middle Easterns, you have Mexican Asian. 713 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter. 714 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 4: Everybody's got a history with America that has its pitfalls. 715 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 5: But what does DEI actually do right? 716 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 4: And again not taking a stand on it politically, but 717 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 4: I want everybody to understand how this affects your money 718 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: and your bottom line. Right when you historically when you 719 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 4: looked at affirmative action, and when you look at these 720 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 4: programs that require that the standard to be changed, where 721 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 4: you were not accepting or giving jobs on merit, but 722 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 4: you are lowering that merit to fill a quota. 723 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 5: This is a recipe for disaster. Now, some of you 724 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 5: may already. 725 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 4: Be getting pissed off and maybe thinking, well, you know, 726 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I get that, but 727 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to give you two specific examples why I 728 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 4: think this is going to create more racism. 729 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 5: It's going to create more division. 730 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 4: And as one of my favorite actors of all time, 731 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 4: Morgan Freeman likes to say, you know, he had this interview. 732 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 4: I didn't find it this time, but if you just 733 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 4: google or go on YouTube, go Morgan Freeman said, just 734 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 4: stop talking about racism. And the interview asked him, well, 735 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 4: you know, do you how do we get. 736 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 5: Rid of racism? 737 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 4: And in a very Morgan Freeman way, he goes, stop 738 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 4: talking about racism right right now? When I look at 739 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 4: the political environment we're in, it just seems like one 740 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 4: side constantly wants to talk about it and jam it 741 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 4: down your throat and keep reminding you that racism exists, 742 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 4: and racism sucks, and the history of racism in this country. 743 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 4: And I like that Morgan Freeman, being an African American, 744 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 4: is looking at you and say, just stop talking about it, 745 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 4: focus on the solutions. And I have found that typically 746 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 4: it's Anglo Saxon, for the lack of a better word, 747 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 4: white people that come up with these rules and the regulations. 748 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 4: It's not African Americans that come up with these. Idea 749 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 4: is to provide the solutions because quite frankly, I don't 750 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 4: think that these new rules or standards create an even 751 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 4: playing field. If anything, it creates more racism and almost 752 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 4: reverse racism. And I'll give you an example when when 753 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 4: police departments had to lower their standards right in Detroit Cleveland, Ohio, 754 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 4: a lot of these suburbs where police were not popular, 755 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 4: they defunded the police, and nobody wants to work in 756 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 4: poor police officers, the good ones, they don't get paid 757 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 4: what they're worth. I mean, the average cop is making 758 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,479 Speaker 4: less than seventy sixty eighty grand. You're depending on what place. 759 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 4: I think maybe even Cali where the cost of living 760 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 4: is high. I don't think the starting salary is more 761 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 4: than sixty or seventy thousand for rookie beat cop, right, so, 762 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 4: which is nothing. I mean, quite frankly, it's nothing, especially 763 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 4: here in California, right or even you know, they put 764 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 4: their lives on the line, they're there when we need them. 765 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 4: I have a mad respect for them. But when we 766 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 4: did all this, we defunded the police, DA DA DA, 767 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 4: And here we are today, specifically in Detroit, were that 768 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 4: poor guy got cornered and beat up by the five 769 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 4: dirty cops. Right, Well, those five dirty cops all had records, 770 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 4: and prior to defunding the police, and prior to them 771 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 4: not having a budget, prior to it not being you know, 772 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 4: financially feasible to be a cop anymore, what do they do. 773 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 4: They started lowering the standards. They said, all right, well, 774 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 4: to become a new police officer, you can have a felony, 775 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 4: you can have a direct conviction, you can have an 776 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 4: arrest for a violent offense. And they kept lowering the 777 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 4: standards because they were running out of cops. And eventually 778 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 4: what happens is cops who shouldn't have been cops became cops. 779 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 4: And guess what they became dirty cops started beating the 780 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 4: shit out of one of their own. You know, those 781 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 4: were four black cops beating the shit out of a 782 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 4: black dude for no reason handcuffs, right. 783 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 5: That one really pissed me off. 784 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 4: Now I bring up that example, not bring the racial 785 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 4: side of it, but when you lower the standards for 786 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 4: a job to fill a quota, Now that one was 787 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 4: not to fill a quotas to fill a need. 788 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 5: So they lower their standards. But approves my point. You 789 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 5: follow me, Connor absolutely. 790 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 4: So now this DEI comes out right, and diversity, equity, 791 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 4: inclusion has become really big in the big corporate world. 792 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 4: So if you're US Airways, they've now said, and don't 793 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 4: quote me on these numbers, but they've said that by 794 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 4: twenty thirty, at least fifty percent if I'm not mistaken, 795 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 4: now have to be African American or Pacific Island Island 796 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 4: or Asian or something along those lines. Minority, very specific 797 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 4: minorities too, by the way, completely leaving say Native Indians 798 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 4: out or Middle East. 799 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 5: I don't even know the Democrat. 800 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 4: I don't care about the racial side of it, but 801 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 4: the point is they picked one group of people, maybe 802 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 4: women in African Americans I think it was, that have 803 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: to represent fifty percent of the new pilots, right, and 804 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 4: that's the quota. Well, on the surface, that's cool. I 805 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 4: mean I've met black pilots, I've met white pilots. I 806 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 4: just want a good fucking pilot that won't crash the plane. 807 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 4: Yeah right, But when you lower the standard that you said, okay, 808 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 4: well you have to. So if there's four qualified applicants 809 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 4: that supplied today that were not African American and then 810 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 4: one was, and you got a fill a quota, but 811 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 4: maybe he didn't score as high on his landing, or 812 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 4: maybe he didn't you know in a is virtual reality 813 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 4: landing crashed his plane. H I'll look over that because 814 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 4: I need my quota filled. 815 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 5: Right. 816 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 4: Not only do you have an unsafe pilot, but you're 817 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 4: now creating a situation where if this is public and 818 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 4: this will become hot button, and if somebody's getting on 819 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 4: that plane and they see they have an African American pilot, 820 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 4: they're gonna look at it. I'm not saying that that's 821 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 4: what I'm doing, but I'm telling you this is what 822 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 4: it's going to create when you've lowered the merits for 823 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 4: entry where it's not color blind anymore. But it's based 824 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 4: on the color of your skin that you're gonna get 825 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 4: a job. Well, now, some people are going to look 826 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 4: at that African American pilot who may be the best 827 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 4: pilot in the world, and they're gonna say, well, I 828 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 4: wonder if he got that job because he's black, or 829 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 4: did he get the job because he's he's got merit. 830 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 4: And that's my issue with these programs. You follow me 831 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 4: on that, Yes, Now, I don't think Now here's what's 832 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 4: going to happen. You take what I just said, you 833 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 4: take it out of context, or if you have an 834 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 4: agenda to push down someone's throat, you will like, well, 835 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 4: Tony's racist. You know, he's looking at that black pilot 836 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 4: like he shouldn't be a pilot. No, that's not what 837 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 4: I'm saying. I'm saying that everybody should be accepted on 838 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 4: their standard of merit, including college campuses. And I think 839 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 4: that's why affirmative action gets shot down, including businesses. And 840 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 4: I don't think businesses should have a quota limit that 841 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 4: they could they should hit. Now, there should be penalties 842 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 4: for businesses that are segregating or not having you know, 843 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 4: not picking certain people because of the colored skin, because 844 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 4: that is racism, right, But when you're fighting racism with 845 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 4: reverse racism, you're creating a financial incentive to basically pick 846 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 4: somebody by the color of their skin. 847 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's fire with fire at this point. 848 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 4: And it's and it's been proven that these companies that 849 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 4: have these program and it's been proven that on college 850 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 4: campuses where affirmative action was the case, it did not 851 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 4: help the plight of that demographics that they're trying to help. 852 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying, because you're not attacking the 853 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 4: root of the problem. Why is it that there's not 854 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 4: more African Americans than Ivy League schools. Well, it's because 855 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 4: they're coming usually from broken homes, they're coming from single moms, right. 856 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 6: So yeah, there's so many other places you could set variable. 857 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 4: Why don't we start with those variables and then if 858 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,800 Speaker 4: you have an equal playing field where you're supporting the moms, 859 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,959 Speaker 4: you're supporting education at a lower level where these kids 860 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 4: get to go to. Developmental education is way more important 861 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 4: than you know, college education. Your first year is to 862 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 4: your second years, third years, you have after care programs. 863 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 5: These kids that are able to read, et cetera by then. 864 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 4: But if you can start at the systematic problem of racism, 865 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 4: of non inclusion, of a disparity between the wealth gap 866 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 4: between minorities and non minorities. I think you're going to 867 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 4: eventually fix the problem. But what these guys do is 868 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 4: they go after the hot button issues. They go after 869 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 4: the things that, no, we'll get them elected, that will 870 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 4: divide people, and if anything, it keeps dividing people. And 871 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 4: as Morgan Freeman said, just stop talking about it, you know, 872 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 4: focus on the issues the matter. And ironically enough, if 873 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 4: I got ten of my African American friends, I would 874 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 4: say that seven out of ten agree with me and 875 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 4: I think American and if you take the politics out 876 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 4: of it, and if people could have a healthy debate 877 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 4: and conversation about it, you end up solving the problems. 878 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 4: But what I'm seeing on college campuses now, and what 879 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 4: I'm seeing a different conferences or news programs is it's 880 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 4: if you don't agree with what I agree, then you're 881 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 4: the opposite. You're racist, you're evil, you're this or that. 882 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 4: And I think that the middle America is bigger than 883 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 4: we think, and I think we're just being divided more 884 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 4: than anything else. 885 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 3: Totally, what else exactly, And like I think the end 886 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 3: of that was very true, where you know, what we 887 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 3: see on social media may not be an accurate representation 888 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 3: of you know, the rest of our population. Like, for example, 889 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 3: we got a pretty good case study of that with 890 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 3: the silent majority during the twenty sixteen election, where no 891 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 3: one thought that the no was no one thought anyone 892 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 3: was going to vote for Trump. This dude fucking wins 893 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 3: the election due to the silent majority, and there is 894 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 3: a silent majority of people who still think, you know, 895 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 3: without all this, you know, these new social constructs coming out, 896 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 3: So you know, I think that. 897 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 6: You know, taking what you see on social media, what's 898 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 6: catered to your own interest in the form of an algorithm, 899 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 6: you know, take you with a grain of salt and 900 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 6: starts to do your own research. 901 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 4: Your own research.
