Missouri 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: Senator Eric Schmidt will be with us. Big Supreme Court 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 2: case that deserves a lot of attention. I think, focused 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: on what the government can and cannot do to restrict 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: the speech of. 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 3: People that might disagree with on social media. 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: Could be a major, important, very significant precedent that is 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: going to be set coming out of this case. 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: We will discuss at two o'clock. 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 2: She has got a book that is absolutely dominating, dominating 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: to such an extent that The New York Times is 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: pretending and it doesn't even exist, which is a sign 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: that it's making them a little bit uncomfortable. Abigail Schreier 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: will be with us, and I think that conversation is 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: going to be fantastic. That's the top of the third hour. 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: This is a book that I'm going to tell you 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: guys in advance. We get a lot of books sent 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: to us. I was actually very very excited when this 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: book arrived at the house and I've already started reading it, 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: and I would encourage you guys to do so as well. 25 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: We will discuss that in more. 26 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: But Buck, first of all, hope everybody had fabulous weekends. 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: If you're watching on video, I had an incredible time 28 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: at the beach, such that I am very tan, maybe 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: even a little bit red, but that was a great Friday. 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: I appreciate you carrying the program on Friday. I am 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: back in Nashville and ready to roll with the NCAA 32 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: tournament underway. Buck may even fill out a bracket. We'll 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: see if he has any knowledge about the fact that 34 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: the brackets were released officially yesterday. 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 4: It's beginner's luck, Clay, So all the smart money out 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 4: there is going to pile in behind whatever nonsense I 37 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 4: put on my bracket, and I'm doing it. I've got 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 4: my final four picks. I'll hit you with those maybe 39 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: as we got price picks ads. We'll talk about that 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 4: a little bit. 41 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: But Buck, you and I have been talking for basically 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 2: two years now, since we knew that Trump was going 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: to run. 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: What game plan? 45 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: I wrote a whole book about it, Basically, what game 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: plan are democrats going to run to try to keep 47 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: Trump from the White House in twenty twenty four, and 48 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: in my book American Playbook, I said, they don't have 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: any new ideas. They're going to go back and rerun 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: the same plays that they have over and over and 51 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 2: over again. And I think in the back of our minds, 52 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: we thought, man, there has to be something new. And 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: to be fair, I think they layered on the ninety 54 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: one criminal charges, the DC South Florida, New York City, 55 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: and Atlanta charges, but that has really, I think, sort 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: of bounced back on them and reverberated on the side 57 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: of Trump actually been very beneficial to him so far. 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: And so they're left with just a couple of things. 59 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: One is abortion, which is why they had Kamala Harris 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: touring an abortion facility, which is really kind of unheard 61 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: of in Minnesota to actually have a vice president. We 62 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: moved very quickly from safe, legal and rare to abortion 63 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 2: is a good thing and everyone should get one, which 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: which seems to be what Kamala Harris wants to argue. 65 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: And now we're on to January sixth, and they are 66 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: going to be incredibly deceitful, just like they were. Remember 67 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: Joe Biden said the whole reason he ran for president 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: was because of what happened at Charlottesville, and he actually 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: has used the very fine people lie as the very 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: foundation of his entire campaign. Well over the weekend, Trump 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: is campaigning in Ohio. We have a ton of you 72 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: listening in Ohio. I think we've been number one in Columbus, Cleveland, 73 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati at different points over the past several years. 74 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: So Ohio, you are well represented in this audience. You 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: have a big primary on Tuesday. You may well in 76 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: your hands. Ohioans hold the future control of the United 77 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: States Senate because if you can beat Sharrod Brown, then 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: the Senate's gonna flip. That is one of the top targets. 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: And so Trump is there at a rally for I 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: believe Bernie Moreno, who he has endorsed, and he says 81 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: that the American auto industry fuck. He said very similar 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: to what we said on this show, which is, if 83 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: you look at electric electric vehicles, China is soon going 84 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: to start to manufacture them in Mexico to try to 85 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: get them into the United States market and avoid tariffs 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 2: as a result of those rules. And Trump said accurately 87 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 2: that if that happens, that would be a blood bath 88 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: for the American auto industry. Let's let everyone hear, yes, 89 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: in context, exactly what President Trump said. 90 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: This is cut one China. 91 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 5: If you're listening, Presidency, and you and I are friends, 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 5: but he understands the ideal those big monster car manufacturing 93 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 5: plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you 94 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 5: think you're gonna get that, you're going to not hire 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 5: Americans and you're going to sell the cars. Now, we're 96 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 5: going to put a one hundred percent tariff on every 97 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: single car that comes across the line, and you're not 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 5: going to be able to sell those because if I 99 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: get elected, Now, if I don't get elected, it's going 100 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 5: to be a bloodbath for the whole that's going to 101 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 5: be the least of it. It's going to be a 102 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 5: bloodbath for the country that'll. 103 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 6: Be the least of it. 104 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 5: But they're not going to sell those cars. 105 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 4: So he's clearly to anyone with ears, and if they 106 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 4: missed it, they could always go back and listen again 107 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 4: because it was all recorded talking about what you were saying, 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: which was the auto industry electric electric cars. This is 109 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 4: a question of commerce and a question of what it 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 4: would mean economically for the United States. It was a 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: shock wave of bull crap all weekend. Yeah, on this one, 112 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 4: all the lib media freaking out saying that Trump called 113 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 4: for a blood bath or Trump said a blood bath 114 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 4: will happen if he does not get elected. Now, I 115 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: have to say, this was one of you talked about 116 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: strategy and your fine book, American Playbook available wherever books 117 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 4: are found. That's right, But but you talked about about 118 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 4: the strategies that will deploy. One thing that I think 119 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 4: surprised a lot of people the first four years of Trump, 120 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: or we couldn't see coming and now we know it's there. 121 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: They will pretend the anti Trumpers to not understand the 122 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 4: plain meaning of language. They will pretend that they don't 123 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 4: understand sarcasm or hyperbole or a joke. Right, This was 124 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: something that over and over again Trump would say something. 125 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 3: You'd say, Oh my gosh, I said, what the no 126 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: he was he. 127 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: Was obviously he was kidding, like any normal person, he's kidding. 128 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 4: But they would rather be obtuse and outrage than deal 129 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 4: with what President Trump actually says. It's more fun for them, 130 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 4: more gratifying for them to pretend to be utter morons, 131 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: and they're going to do this the whole way through, 132 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: because they did it the whole way through last time. 133 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't even think the word bloodbath in 134 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: this context is even remotely controversial. 135 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: And so I had the team pull. 136 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: Here is everyone on the left basically in the country 137 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: pretending that they can't believe that Trump said that there 138 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: would be a blood bath, using the word bloodbath in 139 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: their own newscasts and their own content. 140 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: Listen to this best. 141 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 7: Politico dot com reports tonight on the quote bloodbath at 142 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 7: the RNC. 143 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 8: Not only is it going to be a blood bath, 144 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 8: but after they leave New Hampshire, it's a bloodbath on 145 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 8: her home turf. 146 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 9: That's really tough. 147 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: Has left a lot of corpses in his wake. 148 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 9: I mean, we haven't count in the body as a 149 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 9: Biden blood bath. 150 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: The Republican Party will be destroyed. 151 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 9: He's going to be a. 152 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: Blood bath also well, Biden blood bath, this November. 153 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 3: Election blood bath. 154 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: It could be a bloodpath for the blood bath. 155 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 7: Possibly bloodbath went through with the Attorney General blood bath 156 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 7: ninety nine days. 157 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: The blood bath that is going to look like. 158 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 10: Resided over a bloodbath in the Diplomatic Corps. 159 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 9: Ticket sales turn into a blood bath. 160 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: Ticket sales for singer Taylor Swift's latest tour. 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 9: It's safe to say the fans had a blood bath 162 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 9: for the company. 163 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 4: Off of the casket, Claire, Can I just glutch my 164 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: pearls for a second?

I think Scarborough is 183 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: not an idiot. I think Bechelos is not an idiot, 184 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: which makes to me their arguments here tougher to defend. 185 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: Listen to cut three here from Joe Scarborough. 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 10: Obviously he's talking about a bloodbath for America. 187 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: It's laid out in the terms of it. 188 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 10: And these idiots on Twitter, these idiots on cable News, 189 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 10: these idiots on. 190 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: Sunday Chezan Presidence. 191 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 10: You know he was talking all way about the auto 192 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 10: industry and. 193 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: This is one Bok's just bull. 194 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 4: Let me say that at six point fifteen am just bulls. 195 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: He knew what he was doing. 196 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 10: We're not stupid, Americans aren't stupid. He was talking about 197 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 10: a blood bath. Sometimes a blood bath means a bloodbath. 198 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 10: And when he finish this by saying and that's just going. 199 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: To be the least of it. 200 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 10: Seriously, these people may be stupid. 201 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 4: We're not Clay Black, I know, living on another planet. 202 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: But you have to also look at this and understand 203 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: that that is what the audience that they have expects 204 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: them to say. And this is unfortunately, the Democrat audience 205 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 4: in general has been conditioned to the most extreme hysteria 206 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: when it comes to anything Trump related, such that you 207 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: will be accused of underplaying things right, you will be 208 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 4: accused of not taking the threat seriously. Unless you go 209 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 4: the sky is falling dogs and cats living together mass hysteria. 210 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 4: And I think that one of the problems we have 211 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 4: when we try to look at the way they analyze 212 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: Trump is that they will say that in context, anything 213 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: Trump says has to be taken as wicked and vicious 214 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: and violent anytime they can make that case Trump not 215 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: only if there's the benefit of the doubt. You know, 216 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 4: I guess he gets the doubt of the benefit. He 217 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 4: gets the other thing. It's always the worst possible thing imaginable. 218 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: And this is very tiresome, but this is the Trump 219 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: Remember this. During Trump's first term, there was a Trump 220 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: translation role in the media. They're always trying what he 221 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 4: really means is it's like when they say there's a 222 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: dog whistle. You know what a dog whistle is when 223 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: a lib here's something that's not racist, and they just 224 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 4: want to call you a racist. Oh, there's a dog 225 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: whistle going on here, same thing, same thing. 226 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 227 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: And I was trying to think about this. Can you 228 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: point I mean, we've been on the air together now 229 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: for three years. Can you point to anything that we've 230 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: said that a left winger has said that has been 231 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: as dishonest as what Joe Scarborough said, cursing to his audience, 232 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: about how they're idiots. And look if Joe Scarborough had 233 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: come on and said I think that Joe Biden is 234 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: mentally the deteriorating, but he's still a better choice than 235 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. 236 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: That's it. I don't buy that argument. 237 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: That's a legitimate argument that a person on the left 238 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: could make. Trump is calling for a literal blood bath. 239 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: I mean, the only violence in terms of death that 240 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: occurred on January sixth was Ashley Babbitt got shot by 241 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: a police officer. 242 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 3: Otherwise, no one died in. 243 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: The next through a window, by the way, correct, I mean, 244 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: if the standard is going to be, well we this 245 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: is you know, I don't like this, but think about 246 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: this like as we go to break and by the way, 247 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: eight hundred and two two two eight a two if 248 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: you guys can think, I can't even think of a 249 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: right wing equivalent of the way that the left all 250 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: lined up and defended this blood bath. 251 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: Take as justified for a reason that you can't support Trump. 252 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: They will do that. 253 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: They will do this over and over again. And this 254 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: is a central part of the plan to change the 255 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: play meeting of words. 256 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: And just one more thing, Clay. 257 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 4: I know, we gotta we gotta take some calls and 258 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 4: get to a break here. But this is also where 259 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: it becomes it's not just Trump that they hate, it 260 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 4: is you, the Trump voter. Yes, they despise you because 261 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 4: in their minds, the Trump dog whistle about the blood 262 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 4: bath will be acted upon by the vicious and violent 263 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 4: Maga brigades out there. So it's always important to remember 264 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 4: that they don't just despise Trump this way. They actually, 265 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: whether it's Scarborough and the others in the media, they 266 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: think his followers are such, you know, evil, toothless, maga 267 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 4: hat hillbillies, whatever, they would all create a blood bath 268 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 4: if he doesn't win. That's what they're saying. 269 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: He said that everybody out there saying this is not 270 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: a story as an idiot. 271 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: He means you, he means me, he means all of you. 272 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: We're idiots for actually listening to what Trump said in context. 273 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: That's what they think of you. Look, we're rolling in 274 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: March madness. Buck is going to fill out a bracket. 275 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: I think we can guarantee it.

So, I think if people take a step back. 334 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 7: In time a little bit and remember the everbit's desire 335 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 7: to control the narrative, especially during COVID. But there were 336 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 7: certainly instances outside of that, and you saw Jensaki at 337 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 7: the podium saying we're flagging posts for Facebook. You saw 338 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 7: Joe Biden saying that these social media platforms were killing 339 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 7: people because you know, information about whether it was masking 340 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 7: or origins of COVID was different than what the what 341 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 7: the narrative of the Biden administration was. And then you know, 342 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 7: remember they also created something called the Disinformation Governance Board. 343 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 6: This was all public. 344 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 7: And so in May of twenty twenty two, when I 345 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 7: was the ag in Missouri, we fouled the lawsuit of 346 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 7: Missouri versus Biden. And one of the things that's really 347 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 7: important is we were able to get discovery, meaning we 348 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 7: were able to get emails, text messages before the preliminary 349 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 7: junction hearing. Why is that important because what we discovered 350 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 7: was a sprawling, vast censorship enterprise that wasn't just a 351 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 7: couple of government officials working with social media companies, but 352 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 7: a leviathan of agencies and individuals the surgeon Ineral the 353 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 7: United States, I mean, high ranking government officials basically saying 354 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 7: take this down or else. And then that sort of 355 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 7: happened around that timeframe. Then Elon Musk, of course, by Twitter, 356 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 7: you have the Twitter files, you have the congressional hearings, 357 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 7: and all this stuff is now out there for the 358 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 7: world to see. And the reality is we all know 359 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 7: that you know, traditional First Amendment law is that the 360 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 7: government doesn't get to suppress your speech. You don't you 361 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 7: to censor you in the town square. Well, now we've 362 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 7: moved into an era of a virtual town square. In 363 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 7: this case sort of stands the proposition, does the government 364 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 7: get to coerce social media companies and threaten them with 365 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 7: taking away extection two thirty protections or investigations that they 366 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 7: don't do their bidding? So the government can't censorship, they 367 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 7: also can't engage in censorship. They also can't outsource that either. 368 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 7: And that's what being argued today in front of the 369 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 7: Supreme Court. 370 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So for people out there who have paid attention 371 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: to the history of the First Amendment, probably the most 372 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: significant case in the last sixty years is New York 373 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: Times be Sullivan and that case regarding the First Amendment 374 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: written in an entirely different media ecosystem than the one 375 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 2: in which we live today. In your mind, what should 376 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court do here? Should they scrap a lot 377 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 2: of historic First amend majurisprudence? What in your mind would 378 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: be an ideal result if you were solving not only 379 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: this case, but as you well know, Senator and formerly 380 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 2: Attorney General, you have to build the entire presidential landscape 381 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: based on this for a generation to come, potentially in 382 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: what is still a relatively new Internet world. So what 383 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: should the result be here in your mind? 384 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 7: I think it's really updating into the digital age what 385 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 7: it means to be a state actor. Right, And so 386 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 7: you know, if a private company like Facebook or Twitter 387 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 7: takes down a post because it violates the terms of service, 388 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 7: we may not like that, but that's not government censorship. Now, 389 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 7: I would argue they should lose their Section two thirty projections, 390 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 7: which is you can't be sued because in nineteen ninety six, 391 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 7: when the Internet was kind of brand new, Congress said, look, 392 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 7: you guys are going to be an open platform. You're 393 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 7: not a publisher, you're not making editorial decisions. You can't 394 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 7: get sued, right, because we thought this was going to 395 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 7: be a democratization of information. 396 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 6: What we've seen since then, guys. 397 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 7: Is a consolidation of that, and they actually are making 398 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 7: these editorial judgments. So you know, the Section two thirty protections, 399 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 7: you know, sort of limit their culpability and their liability 400 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 7: in these instances. And I think if you engage in 401 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 7: that kind of you know, stuff, you should lose it. 402 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 7: But that being said, you're not a government actor. What 403 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 7: this case is saying, look, the government, if they're essentially 404 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 7: turning these social media companies into an arm of the 405 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 7: government to do their bidding, to take posts down, to 406 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 7: deplatform people, to censor people, they that is a First 407 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 7: Amendment violation because that can only come when the government's acting. 408 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 7: So I think basically you're updating what First Amendment law 409 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 7: is in the digital age, and I think that's a 410 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 7: very important thing. And also I mentioned we were able 411 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 7: to get this discovery we found dog and if we wouldn't, 412 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 7: we weren't able to get it. And Elon must doesn't 413 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 7: buy Twitter. All this stuff is still in the dark. Guys, 414 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 7: and people will be called a conspiracy theorist. What are 415 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 7: you talking about? But we know Elvis Chan was debunking 416 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 7: or pre bunking I should say, the Hunter Biden laptop story. 417 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 6: We know that they had it in. 418 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 7: December of twenty nineteen. They're going around telling these social 419 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 7: media platforms look out for a Russian hacken League operation 420 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 7: and they start pre bunking it. That's a government then 421 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 7: sort of the under the guys of being the SDI 422 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 7: and all the things that can happen wielding its heavy hand. 423 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 7: Then you get into COVID times and they have weekly 424 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 7: censorship meetings. They have a special portal for government and 425 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 7: social media companies. You've got text messages between the Surgeon 426 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 7: General and senior Facebook officials. 427 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 6: Saying take it down. We've taken it down. 428 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 7: What else can we do? When you lay all this 429 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 7: out in front of the court, you see again what 430 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 7: we dubbed is a vast censorship enterprise. They've also outsourced 431 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 7: some of this flagging of dis quote unquote disinformation and 432 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 7: misinformation to places like Stanford in the University of Washington, 433 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 7: So they were very engaged in monitoring American speech and 434 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 7: if you got on the line, they were basically going 435 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 7: to these social media companies to say take it down. 436 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 7: In the email exchanges are really colorful, some of them 437 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 7: are angry. But behind all. 438 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 6: Of it is the threat. 439 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 7: Of investigations and I trust lawsuits in taking away Section 440 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 7: two thirty protections. So I think that kind of coercive 441 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 7: impact of the power of the government is what crosses 442 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 7: the line here. 443 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 4: Senator Schmidt with US now from Missouri. So Supreme Court 444 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: hearing this, if they are hearing this case today, if 445 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: they rule properly. 446 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: Obviously we know which way you want them to rule. 447 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: What will it mean in terms of consequences and how 448 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: enforceable do you think they will be when it comes 449 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 4: to First Amendment jurisprudence going forward. 450 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 7: Well, I think it'll be a very important proposition to 451 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 7: say you can't have this network of government actors working 452 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 7: hand in hand in the thread of again legal repercussions 453 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 7: silencing Americans, because that's what they were doing. And this 454 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 7: wasn't a one off thing. This was a leviasn of 455 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 7: government officials and agencies. And so I think it'll it'll 456 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 7: it'll pause that because really what they're what they're in 457 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 7: front of the Spring Court on right now, is this 458 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 7: injunctive relief. 459 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 6: They got a tip, they got a temporary injunction. The 460 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: government has. 461 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 7: Appealed at the Supreme Court, so this ultimately would go 462 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 7: back to a trial in the merits no matter what happens. 463 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 7: But a lot of this evidence is already out there, 464 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 7: So that's what the court is looking at because we 465 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 7: got all that discovery early on. 466 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 6: But you know, I worry. 467 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 7: I mean, they use all these examples and you heard 468 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 7: from one of the justices today well, this was a 469 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 7: once in a lifetime thing. Well, that's what quite frankly, 470 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 7: that's what every tyrant air dictator says. There's some emergency, 471 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 7: real or perceived to aggregate, consolidate and exercise power, and 472 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 7: the first thing they usually go for is going after 473 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 7: people who are dissenting. And so I think this is 474 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 7: really in case, really cuts at the core of what 475 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 7: it means to be an American, your ability, your god 476 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 7: given right to express your point of view, and what 477 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 7: you're supposed to do with speech you don't agree with 478 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 7: is combat it with more speech, not censor speech. 479 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 6: And I think that again is why this case is 480 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 6: so important. 481 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: And what you just. 482 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 2: Said there at the end is actually the definition of 483 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: what liberal thought. 484 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: Used to be. 485 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: And it's amazing how illiberal Now many people are last 486 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: question for you, and we appreciate everything you've done on 487 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: this case. 488 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: We appreciate the time you're giving us. 489 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: Now a lot of people are going to say, okay, 490 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 2: and they understand this is a long process, right, It's 491 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 2: going to still take potentially years for there to be 492 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 2: a resolution on these COVID cases and what the government 493 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: could or could not do. Do you think your lawsuit 494 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: will restrict in some ways the aggressiveness that the current government, 495 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 2: that is the Biden administration, will bring to bear on 496 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: social media companies this fall with the election. 497 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, it's interesting the New York Times speaking of 498 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,239 Speaker 7: illiberal so called liberal points if you had a hit 499 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 7: piece on this and basically saying that me and the 500 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 7: other people are advocating this are enabling disinformation, right like 501 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 7: it so like, it's just crazy to me that these 502 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 7: people who scream about threats to democracy are willing to 503 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 7: bulldoze democracy to get their way. I'm forty eight. I 504 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 7: remember when liberals actually believed in free speech and it 505 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 7: kind of lost the plot here. So they've claimed that 506 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 7: this has inhibited their ability to do all the stuff 507 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 7: that they want to do, which is good. I think 508 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 7: that's a good thing because again, the government you can stand. 509 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 6: Up their podium guys and say this is what we believe. 510 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 7: You just can't coerce you know, other people to censor speech, 511 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 7: which is exactly what they've been doing. So I hope so, 512 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 7: but again, I've got legislator, there's two things on meant 513 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 7: to close with this, guys, I think that this has 514 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 7: to continue on in the Congress. 515 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 6: So in the Senate. 516 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 7: I've got two bills, one of the private actors side 517 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 7: to say, look, if you're engaged in censorship at the 518 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 7: private level, you're taking down So if you lose your 519 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 7: Section two thirty protections, and if you're a government official 520 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 7: like any one of these people involved, Fauci sak in 521 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 7: these people, and you're responsible for censoring another American speech, 522 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 7: and you can be sued individually by an American as 523 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 7: opposed to being just a you know, in your official capacity. 524 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 7: I think instead of one Attorney general bringing this lawsuit, 525 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 7: you have an army of patriots out there saying I'm 526 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 7: not going to be silenced. 527 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 6: I think that would do a lot to stop this stuff. 528 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 4: Senator, do you want to give us a prediction. Let's 529 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: assume that it goes your way. Do you think it 530 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: ends up being a tight one or could the liberals 531 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 4: see that there's no way that this kind of censorship, 532 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 4: liberals on the court that there's no way this kind 533 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: of censorship could be allowed to continue. 534 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 6: I don't know. 535 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not trying to like punt on this. 536 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 7: I don't know, because it's really hard, as you got, 537 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 7: it's hard. From the questions it's hard to know how 538 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 7: people really come down on this. So it's hard to 539 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 7: say because this is a brand new kind of case. 540 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 7: And I think there's been some favorable rulings on curtailing 541 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 7: government overreach recently. I think there's also been some good 542 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 7: stuff on social media, so I'm hopeful. But no matter what, 543 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 7: I'm very old, But no matter what, the exposing all 544 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 7: of this stuff I think is helping move hearts and 545 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 7: minds in people our way. Not the media, they're losing control, 546 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 7: like the mainstream, they're losing control as the gatekeepers. But 547 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 7: for you know, the average American, I think they're involden 548 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 7: and believe in the First Amendment and see how it's 549 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 7: been abused, and I think that's a good thing for 550 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 7: us long term. 551 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 3: I think it goes six three. 552 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 4: I think Soda Mayor probably writes a descent were wearing 553 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 4: a mask and we will we will see if I'm 554 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 4: right on that one. 555 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 3: Senator. Yeah, appreciate you being with us, Thank you, sir. 556 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: All Right, guys, there was a time back in the 557 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: day before cell phones when if we wanted to record things, 558 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: we had to use old school tech, right like camcorders. 559 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 4: I remember that opening Christmas presence. I was a little 560 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 4: kid wearing those pajamas that have the feet built in. 561 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 4: You remember those.

Bad Therapy 593 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up? By Abigail Shreer. I 594 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: am going to read this book. Bucket's got his own 595 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: copy as well. We get a lot of books, Abigail, 596 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: who is with us now A lot of times. To 597 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: be frank, I don't have the time to be able 598 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: to read them. I've put this on my list. My 599 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: wife wants to read it. You are absolutely killing it, 600 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: and so I want to start with this though before 601 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: we get into the book. You have had a similar 602 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: experience as me. When American Playbook came out, it was 603 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 2: the number one selling nonfiction book in America. It did 604 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 2: not make the New York Times list. Your book went 605 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 2: to number one, I believe on Amazon, which is virtually 606 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 2: unheard of. It did not make one of the fifteen 607 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: best selling books in America. This is one of the 608 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 2: best endorsements of a book I can give you because 609 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: to me, it means the Times does not want your 610 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: book to get the publicity and attention. Explain that for 611 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: listeners out there, who I think a lot of people 612 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: think the New York Times just ranks the best selling books. 613 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: They don't at all. 614 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: Why is this significant and what does it say to 615 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: you that they have avoided recognizing how many people are 616 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: buying and reading your book. 617 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 11: Well, you know, they don't like anybody who kicks the 618 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 11: legs out of their narrative, right. So with the last book, 619 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 11: they were very unhappy with me because I wrote about 620 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 11: the epidemic of teenage girls deciding they were transgender, and 621 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 11: I you know, pointed out the risks and I argued 622 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 11: it was a social contagion, and the book was really successful, 623 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 11: and that bothered the New York Times a lot because 624 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 11: event they had to admit those risks. So in this book, 625 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 11: you Know, I Bad Therapy really just says that, you know, 626 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 11: the the question is why are these why does this 627 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 11: generation think it's so unwell? Why are they awash and diagnosis? 628 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 11: Why are they constantly taking mental health days off of work? 629 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 11: Why do they think that they're why are they all 630 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 11: and why do they all have a diagnosis? Why are 631 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 11: they all on psychmads or so many of them? And 632 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 11: why do they never say they're shy they have social phobia, 633 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 11: and they never say they're nervous, they say they have anxiety. 634 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 11: They never say they're sad, they say they're depressed. And 635 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 11: and the point of the book was really to empower 636 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 11: parents to stop listening to these so called experts who 637 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 11: are really undermining parental authority, really undermining especially dad's ability 638 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 11: to do what they think is right. It's often the 639 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 11: men who get who have changed the most and gotten 640 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 11: the most undermined by these so called experts. And and 641 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 11: that's the last group that The New York Times ever 642 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 11: wants to give any you. 643 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 3: Know, power to Abigail's buck. Thanks for being with us. 644 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: To what degree do you think there's some connection possibly 645 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 4: between the fact that the psychiatric and psychologist profession is 646 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 4: by far, according to all the data. And I don't 647 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 4: think anybody disagrees with this, the most left wing by 648 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 4: political affiliation of any of the medical specialties. 649 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: I mean to the. 650 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: Point where now you have some of these medical associations 651 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 4: that are going along with and you wrote the book 652 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 4: about gender identity disorder, genderis for you whatever, they're going 653 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 4: along with things like men can get pregnant. I mean 654 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 4: they actually are going along with anti science. How much 655 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 4: politicization is to blame for this, sure so a lot. 656 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 11: I mean the group that had where these accrediting organizations 657 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 11: had nothing to say when kids were heading into a 658 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 11: second year of lack camp Blackcoes, what did they do. 659 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 11: They showed up in Congress to warn about police tactics, 660 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 11: climate change, right and systemic racism. They had a lot 661 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 11: to say about that. Now they think there's the solution 662 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 11: to kids' mental health. You know, in the book, I 663 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 11: argue there are a large part of the problem. And 664 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 11: here's the connection to what you just raised. You know, 665 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 11: if you have intergenerational trauma, if all kids are walking 666 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 11: around with the trauma of their ancestors. Not true, by 667 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 11: the way, It's a lot of nonsense. But if they are, 668 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 11: then colonialism and slavery are with us today. There continue 669 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 11: to harm these kids. Now we know it isn't true. 670 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 11: It hasn't been true, and I went into the research 671 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 11: to show that it wasn't true. But you know them 672 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,959 Speaker 11: Unfortunately a lot of good parents have been undermined by 673 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 11: the idea that they don't know what's best for their kids' 674 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 11: mental health, and so they've been strong armed once again 675 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 11: into not doing what's right for their kids. 676 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 2: Bad Therapy is the book Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up? 677 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: And I am already starting to read this a little bit, Abigail, 678 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: but I read your excerpts. I think it was in 679 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, which I thought was really interesting, 680 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 2: And I want you to expand upon this because I 681 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 2: see it at the front of the book too. Talk 682 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: therapy can induce rumination, trapping kids in cycles of anxiety 683 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: and depression. 684 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 3: This is what some of your research has found. 685 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: Social emotional learning handicaps our most vulnerable children in both 686 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 2: public schools and private The piece that I read that 687 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 2: you excerpted was talking about how as parents were constantly 688 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: sort of taught to ask our kids how they feel, 689 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 2: and that that is making kids believe that whatever their 690 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: feeling is is their truth, as opposed to teaching them 691 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: that their emotions are going to vary and that it 692 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 2: can't be the guidepost of their life. 693 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 3: I thought it was so fascinating. 694 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: Explain what you uncovered about that focusing on feelings and 695 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: treating them as legitimate. 696 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 11: Sure, focusing on feelings, which we know are in constant 697 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 11: and often even inaccurate guides to whether we have been 698 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 11: hurt or injured, or whether we're in the right getting 699 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 11: kids to constantly focus on their feelings is actually a 700 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 11: recipe for misery. We know this, the psychological research shows it. 701 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 11: We're just doing the opposite. We're going into schools and 702 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 11: as parents were doing the same thing. We're constantly asking 703 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 11: kids how are they feeling about this? How are they 704 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 11: feeling about that? We're inducing a constant focus on their 705 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 11: negative feelings. Why is it negative? Because, of course, if 706 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 11: you ask someone constantly how they're feeling, they're actually going 707 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 11: to produce mostly negative responses. And the reason is in 708 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 11: all of our you know, thousands of wakeful seconds, most 709 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 11: of them are not in a state called happy. They're 710 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 11: in some kind of period of you know, irritation, itch, discomfort, worry, 711 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 11: and getting kids to focus on those things while rather 712 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 11: than going out and doing good. That's the opposite of 713 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 11: what we want to be doing. But the other's another 714 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 11: bad thing when with things like social emotional learning, constantly 715 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 11: asking kids about their negative feelings in school. But what 716 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 11: I want parents to know is it naturally tease up 717 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 11: a criticism of the parents. Why because parents are the 718 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 11: ones whose job it is to keep a child safe. 719 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 11: So if they were terribly traumatized by an incident, the 720 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 11: next question is where was mom? 721 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: I think the data you mentioned dads, I think the data, 722 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 2: and I'm curious if you find this that as dads 723 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 2: have become less involved in two parent households, the overall 724 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 2: health of kids has collapsed, mental health in many ways. 725 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: And there's this idea, and I bet you've read about 726 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 2: it and studied at Abigail that lots of people, even 727 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 2: on the left, they talk left, but they live right. 728 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 2: That is, they have nuclear families in their own life. 729 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 2: A lot of people wagging their finger at you on 730 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: MSNBC and CNN. They are married to a woman or 731 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: they're married to a man. They have traditional household structures, 732 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 2: They raise the kids in the two parent household, and 733 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: then they lecture anyone who suggests that that would be 734 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 2: a good model, even though they're following it themselves. Where 735 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 2: does fatherhood rank in factor in here in your research? 736 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 11: So what father is that men are the ones who 737 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 11: have changed the most in terms of parenting in the 738 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 11: last generation. I mean, here's why. All of their instincts 739 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 11: they were told are bad for the kids' mental health. 740 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 11: Telling a kid you'll live, you're going to be fine, 741 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 11: shake it off or knock it off, that kind of thing. 742 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 11: They were told, don't do that. It's bad for their 743 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 11: mental health. Basically, that would that is the wrong way 744 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 11: to proceed. And so the kids got no balance. They 745 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 11: got constant empathy, they got constant you know, eliciting of 746 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 11: their feelings, and never a sense that they would be resilient, 747 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 11: they would be fine. And here's the other thing. They 748 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 11: weren't told that they're grandparents went through much worse. See 749 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 11: your grandparents, that's the only proof you've got that your 750 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 11: genetic material is resilient. They need to hear what Dad 751 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 11: and mom and grandparents went through and great grandparents went through. 752 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 11: It's the only proof they've got that they can get 753 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 11: through it too. 754 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 4: Abigail Schreier, the author Bad Therapy While the kids aren't 755 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 4: growing up is the book, recommend you all get a 756 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 4: copy of it now. And just in terms of the 757 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 4: therapy component of this for kids, how much of this 758 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 4: do you think is also the usage of the medicalization 759 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 4: of childhood discontent, which we all go through at different times, right, 760 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 4: we all skin our knee at different times, we fall 761 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 4: off the jungle gym, although now I don't even if 762 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 4: there are jungle gyms anymore, like you can't really the 763 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 4: playgrounds have changed a lot from what they used to be. 764 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 4: But by medicalizing these problems, it means that they can 765 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 4: get at kids and indoctrinate them younger and younger. 766 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 11: That's right, they get get them into the mental health pipeline, 767 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 11: and they never leave. They just get more and more medication. 768 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 11: And here's the thing. Sometimes kids are going through a 769 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 11: bad phase. Sometimes they're going to outgrow it. And there's 770 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 11: something else too. When you get in and delete their 771 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 11: normal resources with medication, their normal sadness, you're also capping 772 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 11: the happiness the highs. You're altering. You may be deleting 773 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 11: a sex drive and a young kid who's just starting puberty, 774 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 11: and you're doing all the things that will make it 775 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 11: harder for them to adjust to and cope with normal life. 776 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 11: And that's what we're seeing, a generation that. 777 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 7: Can't cope, Abigail. 778 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 2: How much does social media play in here in terms 779 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 2: of I talk about this on the show sometimes one 780 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 2: of the most staggering stats I've seen, thirty percent of 781 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 2: teenage girls have thought about killing themselves in the last year. 782 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 2: I mean, that is an unbelievable number. Obviously, that is 783 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 2: feelings triumphing over the logic of their life, because I 784 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 2: can't imagine that thirty percent of women and teenage girls 785 00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 2: are actually living. 786 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 3: In die straight. 787 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 2: How much of that is a function of the feelings 788 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 2: that they get from social media? And how should parents, 789 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 2: in your mind contemplate social media. 790 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 11: Social media is bad. It's hurting this problem, no doubt. 791 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 11: You know, I wrote about the last book, a social 792 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 11: contagion of trans identification that was basically spread largely through 793 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 11: social media. But here's the problem. The sad things they're stealing, 794 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 11: the sad feelings they have, the you know, if they 795 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 11: feel lonely and depressed, partially because social media. We're then 796 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 11: remediating it with mental health, not giving them a better life, 797 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 11: not taking away the phone, not curbing social media, but 798 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 11: giving them more and more mental health interventions that aren't working. Diagnosis, medication, 799 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 11: it's not working as counter productive. Why Because it's the 800 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 11: life that's a problem. And the reason we know this 801 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 11: is liberal boys from teenage Teenage boys from liberal families 802 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 11: have worse mental health. Sorry, teenage boys from liberal families 803 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 11: have the worst mental health than teenage girls from conservative families. Now, 804 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 11: let me tell you the girls are on a lot 805 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 11: more social media, but the difference is in the environment. 806 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 11: The lack of authority from parents, the introduction of mental 807 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 11: health experts into the home at the first indication of 808 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 11: sadness or a problem, all those things, and the constant 809 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 11: surveillance of any activity, never letting these kids have real 810 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 11: independence and trying to do something in the world even 811 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 11: when it's dangerous or has potential danger, like walking home 812 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 11: from school. Those are all things that make a kid 813 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 11: feel capable, and we're not letting him do those things. 814 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 4: Abigo Schrier, Everybody, why the kids aren't growing up bad therapy. 815 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 4: Why the kids Aren't Growing up is the book.

Appreciate the time. 817 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 11: Oh thank you. 818 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 6: Take care. 819 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 2: Look, Abigail Schreyer, just the conversation we had talking about 820 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: how woke policies are destructive in so many ways, and 821 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 2: guess what happens. So it's woke education. That's why Hillsdale 822 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: College exists. They've produced a free online course on the 823 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 2: topic American citizenship and its Decline. Online video course being 824 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 2: taught by historian Victor Davis Hanson. Brilliant guy. We've had 825 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: him on the show several times before. He traces the 826 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 2: history of citizenship and explains how it is undermined in 827 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 2: America today by open borders, identity politics, the administrative state, 828 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 2: and globalization. Americans taking the course will gain a deeper 829 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 2: insight about the connection between citizenship and freedom, and insight 830 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 2: they can share with family members, friends, and neighbors.

So how many copies of that book sold? 860 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 4: I probably not that many, but I am one of 861 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 4: the people that bought it, and it's quite good. 862 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 3: It's called The Poison King. I'm very much enjoying it. 863 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 3: So I'll give it to you, Dory. I'll hook you up. 864 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 3: You know, I'll keep it for you. I can't. 865 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 2: I'm embarrassingly when you described that, I was actually like, 866 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: this doesn't sound like a bad book, but I bet 867 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 2: it's sold eight copies. 868 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 6: Yeah. 869 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 3: Probably some of these great history books. 870 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 4: I'm reading them and I think to myself, this is 871 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 4: so good, and I just get a little sad. I'm like, 872 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 4: I hope this person like one of my favorite history historians, 873 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 4: I should history authors. Also a historian is Roger Crowley, 874 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 4: and I think he's written some bestsellers, but some of 875 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 4: his stuff is so good. I'm just like, every I 876 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 4: buy Roger Crowley book I can. And he's not a 877 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 4: famous guy. I just think he's a great historian anyway. 878 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 4: And you're worried, like is he able to make a living? Yes, 879 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 4: off of his extreme talent that might not. 880 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 2: Be reflected in the marketplace, whereas you know, there's tons 881 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 2: of guys making fifty million dollars a year to write 882 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 2: books that, let's be honest, are not necessarily tremendous works 883 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: of art. 884 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 4: Well yeah, and yeah, they're also generally not running them. Yeah, 885 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 4: that's exactly right. I feel like it's like discovering an 886 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 4: artist to paint you. You're like, it's amazing, and then 887 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 4: you're like, are you able to feed yourself? 888 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 9: Like? 889 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: Is everything going? Okay? It's tough selling books out there. No, 890 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 3: he's super hard. 891 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 4: So anyway, let's dive into this. Oh you know, I 892 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 4: was actually at the winter Park Orlando Arts Festival this 893 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 4: past weekend, which I had never been to before, which 894 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 4: was a lot of fun. 895 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,240 Speaker 2: I hear winter Park is fabulous. Katie, who is my assistant, 896 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 2: is from winter Park and great. There is a place, yes, 897 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 2: very great, very very very high marks for Winter Park Orlando, 898 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 2: which I had never been to before. Carrie grew up there, 899 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: My wife grew up there. That's why at least in 900 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 2: Park grew up there. Anyway, I want to dive in 901 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 2: this Elon sit down with Don Lemon. 902 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 4: First of all, too, should we should we take everyone 903 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 4: to where it went first? Or should we build up 904 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,359 Speaker 4: to it? You're like, do you want to you want 905 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 4: to do the build up. 906 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 2: Or the I had you? Did you watch this whole way, 907 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 2: the whole thing? Yes, So as a prelude, I have not. 908 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 2: I watched the two minute discussion on DEI and it 909 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 2: was Don women was so incomprehensibly dumb that. 910 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 3: Like, we need to play that clip. 911 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 2: But is the whole interview reflective of that clip or 912 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,439 Speaker 2: is it at least a little bit better than that. 913 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 4: It's very Don Lemon in that it is that level 914 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 4: of dumb, but also very passive aggressive. So what Don does? 915 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 4: And I think and I've full disclosure, I've done his 916 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 4: show when it was at CNN a number of times 917 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 4: back in the day, and none of this is surprising 918 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 4: to me. And I found his show to be I'm 919 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 4: trying to think of how to say this on radio 920 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,479 Speaker 4: about getting in trouble a a dumpster fire of low 921 00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 4: caliber garbage. 922 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 6: There we go. 923 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:04,240 Speaker 4: It's just not a good not a good news program. 924 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 4: But I was being paid at the time by CNN. 925 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 4: When you're being paid, and you're on TV and you 926 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 4: have no money and you have a contract, you go 927 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 4: and you go on the shows they tell you to 928 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 4: go on. Anyway, I'm not paid to go on any 929 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 4: cable news anymore. So that's why, you know, see me 930 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 4: on cable news. You see me here on the show. So, uh, 931 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 4: where are we? 932 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 6: Oh? 933 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 3: Where are we? 934 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 6: Oh? 935 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 4: Yes, don Lemon, Yes, Clay, it was really that bad. 936 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 4: He does the passive aggressive thing though, of Hey, so 937 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 4: you know, let me ask you a normal question, and 938 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 4: then why are you such a racist? 939 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 3: And then hey, you know, how's Tesla going there? Why 940 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 3: are you such a racist? In and out? In and out? 941 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 4: Okay, let's start with this one. You mentioned the so 942 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 4: you've seen the DEI. Let's focus on the DEI thing. Yeah, 943 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,919 Speaker 4: and then we'll take everybody to just a reminder of 944 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,479 Speaker 4: where this ended up going here, he is Elon Musk 945 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 4: is trying to explain, this is very straightforward. If they 946 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 4: lower standards in medical schools and surgical residency for minorities, 947 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 4: won't that result in doctors who are less capable, which 948 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 4: means that they're more likely to make mistakes, which means 949 00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 4: they're more likely to kill people In the operating team 950 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 4: pretty straightforward. Elon tries to explain this to Don former CNN. 951 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 4: He was the top host at CNN for a while 952 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,240 Speaker 4: in terms of ratings. Just for the record, twenty six 953 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 4: play it. 954 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 12: If if we lower the status for what it takes 955 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 12: to become a doctor, you're saying, if we lower the standards. 956 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 9: But do you believe people are dying because the standards 957 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 9: are being lowered? 958 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 12: I don't are having that is, yes, an issue, but 959 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 12: it could become an issue. 960 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 9: Okay, But the actual evidence in history shows the exact opposite. 961 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 9: If you look at how minorities were treated by the 962 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 9: medical system. Most doctors now are white and there are 963 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 9: lots of mistakes in medicine. So you're saying that my 964 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 9: doctors are have bad medical care. I'm trying to understand 965 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 9: your logic here when it comes to DEI, because there's 966 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 9: no actual evidence of what you're saying. 967 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 12: No, I said if the standards, like, let's say I 968 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 12: think that particular things were referring to surgeons. 969 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,240 Speaker 3: Let's say sochis. 970 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 12: Is asked to assergient in training is asked to do 971 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 12: it a series of operations out of the supervision of 972 00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,879 Speaker 12: a senior surgeon and they get a bunch of those 973 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 12: operations wrong. If that happens, and if they are still 974 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 12: approach to be a surgeon, the probability that someone will die, 975 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 12: I think at some point is high. 976 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 13: Okay, I understand that, But that's a hypothetical. That doesn't 977 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 13: mean it's happening. I didn't say it's happening. You didn't 978 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 13: say it was happening. I said it will. I said 979 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 13: if we lowest that is, people hope people will die. 980 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 4: So Elon Musklay is talking about a trajectory of what 981 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 4: is occurring and is getting more extreme all the time, 982 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 4: and Don Lemmon doesn't seem like he's capable, honestly, like 983 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 4: he's not capable of following this train of logic and 984 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,280 Speaker 4: keep saying, but you're saying the thing that could happen, 985 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 4: it's not happening. Therefore, why are you talking about how 986 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 4: it could happen? Does he not understand, like how time works. 987 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 2: I watched this clip that we just played for all 988 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,480 Speaker 2: of you, and the only thing I'm left with is 989 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 2: Don Lemmon is too dumb to understand the concept of 990 00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 2: a hypothetical. At best, Don Lemmy is trying to argue 991 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 2: minorities receive a lower standard of medical care now, and 992 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 2: that if there are more doctors of a diverse background, 993 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 2: they'll receive a better standard of medical care in the future. 994 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,240 Speaker 2: That is also hypothetical that he's attempting to argue. 995 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:26,280 Speaker 4: But Elon Musk's argument is very straightforward and I think 996 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 4: a lot of. 997 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 3: You would agree with it. 998 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 2: It is this, if we promote people not based on 999 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 2: the quality of their work, but based on the color 1000 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 2: of their skin or their who they sleep with, and 1001 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 2: we lower the standards to increase those hires, then. 1002 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 3: At some point the overall standard. 1003 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 2: Of medical care will decline. And buck here's where I 1004 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 2: would make an argument that would support what Emon Musk 1005 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 2: is saying. Have you noticed how everyone is suddenly re 1006 00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 2: implementing the SAT and the Act for a missions Every 1007 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,720 Speaker 2: major school suddenly they did it, which is super racist. 1008 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 2: In the first place, they took it away, many of 1009 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,399 Speaker 2: them did after George Floyd. So they decided, you know what, 1010 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 2: black people score lower on SAT tests in general, that 1011 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 2: is a form of systemic racism. We're going to eliminate 1012 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 2: all testing requirements. And then they did several years of 1013 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,280 Speaker 2: admissions and you know what they discovered, Oh wait, a minute, 1014 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 2: the SAT and the ACT are actually very predictive about 1015 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 2: who can and cannot do work inside of these universities. 1016 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 2: And we're actually missing a lot of kids who were 1017 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 2: socioeconomically disadvantaged but have the ability to elevate their performance, 1018 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 2: and so we're making our universities worse by not having them. 1019 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 2: We lowered standards and we made things worse. So the 1020 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: evidence actually supports pretty clearly what Elon Musk is is 1021 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:57,920 Speaker 2: making the case. 1022 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 4: For this is this whole are argument in this concept 1023 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 4: is what made me a conservative, starting when I was 1024 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 4: in high school because I remember these this was all 1025 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,879 Speaker 4: around the issue of college admissions, and I went to 1026 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:15,360 Speaker 4: a what was a quite diverse high school, but with 1027 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 4: a lot of low income white kids too, and the 1028 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 4: low income white kids were basically being This was a 1029 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 4: Regis High School in New York City. When I was there, 1030 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 4: the media the average of the median income was like 1031 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 4: forty five grand or something. It was basically what it 1032 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 4: was for the United States, meaning. 1033 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 2: There was no cost for this private school, right and 1034 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,840 Speaker 2: you have to be admitted private school, yes, so it was. 1035 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 2: It was a full scholarship institution, private and everyone goes 1036 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 2: for free regardless of need. And there were all these 1037 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 2: white kids play who came from you know, modest income backgrounds, 1038 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 2: and they were basically told, look, you know, get what 1039 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 2: money you can for like for a state school somewhere, 1040 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 2: do what you can, even if they had pretty exceptional 1041 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 2: grades in SATs. 1042 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 4: And the minority kids in my class, not the Asians. 1043 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 4: There were a bunch of Asians, particular Koreans and Philippine 1044 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,360 Speaker 4: same boat as the white kids, but the black and 1045 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,320 Speaker 4: Latino kids, it was which Ivy League school do you 1046 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 4: want to go to? That was the way college admissions worked. 1047 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 4: And a lot of people like me saw that and 1048 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 4: said hmm. And the other part of it was we 1049 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,919 Speaker 4: were being told by our guidance counselors were a little 1050 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 4: bit woke. At least one of them was, oh, but 1051 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 4: this isn't about different standards, and I was like, no, 1052 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 4: it is about different standards actually, And that's the whole 1053 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 4: essence of DEI and all of this is change standards 1054 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 4: for people based on based on skin color, based on ethnicity, 1055 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 4: and then refuse to admit that you were changing standards. 1056 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 4: You want to have it both ways, right, so you 1057 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,440 Speaker 4: want to do something but not actually and say you're 1058 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 4: doing it, but not have anyone able to talk about 1059 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 4: what you're doing. So Elon tries again to explain this 1060 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 4: to Don Lemon tries to return to this very straightforward 1061 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,280 Speaker 4: concept of they are changing standards, they want to change 1062 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,760 Speaker 4: them more. Change standards will result in a higher percentage 1063 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 4: of bad outcomes. 1064 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 3: Don Lemon unable to compute this play twenty seven. 1065 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 9: But why respond to something or put something out there 1066 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 9: that has not happened. 1067 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 3: Because I could say, you just don't want it to happen. 1068 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 3: I think we don't want to low us those standards. 1069 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 9: Okay, if you look at the history of the medical industry, 1070 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 9: especially when it comes to black Americans, it shows the 1071 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,960 Speaker 9: exact opposite to you. Look at the Tuskegee Experiment, and 1072 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 9: only five percent of doctors are in America are black. 1073 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 3: All of them are white. 1074 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,480 Speaker 9: So are you saying that if the majority of doctors 1075 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,399 Speaker 9: are white? Are you saying that and there are still 1076 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,720 Speaker 9: these inequities, right, and there's and people still they're still mistakes. 1077 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 9: Are you blaming DEI for that? 1078 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 12: No, I'm very very basically saying that if we lower 1079 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 12: standards for what it takes to become a board certified 1080 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 12: surgeon or you know, a cologist or something where where 1081 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 12: the kind of disease we're talking about, if you make 1082 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 12: a mistake causes someone to die, then more people will 1083 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,320 Speaker 12: die that if we don't lower the standards, or we 1084 00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 12: should all low the standards. 1085 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 9: Why do you think they're lowering the standards for minority 1086 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 9: doctors or women doctors or that's what the audit, that's 1087 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 9: what that article said. 1088 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 3: The suggested. Yes, at Due University. 1089 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 4: By the way, they are lowering the standards in medical 1090 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 4: school for certain minorities. 1091 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 3: That is a fact. 1092 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 4: They are lowering the standards in residency for certain minorities. 1093 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 4: That is a fact. And they say, what do you mean, 1094 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 4: look at MCAT scores. I mean, look at the only 1095 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 4: objective measures that exist. And they do lower the standards dramatically, 1096 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,800 Speaker 4: and the problem is they want to lower them more. 1097 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 4: And people are saying, hold on a second. With doctors, 1098 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 4: it's not a sociology professor. I don't want the guy 1099 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 4: who was bottom ten percent like Joe Biden. I don't 1100 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 4: want that guy operating on my dad's heart or my heart. 1101 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 3: I don't want that. It's pretty morse forward. 1102 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 2: The more significant the job is, the less the race 1103 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 2: or the gender or the sexuality of the person should matter. 1104 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 3: Same thing. We've talked about this a lot. With flying airplanes. 1105 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't care about anything other than is my airplane 1106 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 2: pilot a badass? When I get on an airplane. Similarly, 1107 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,280 Speaker 2: if you're needing serious surgery or one of your family 1108 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,799 Speaker 2: members does you don't care about anything other than is 1109 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 2: that surgeon the best possible surgeon that I could get? 1110 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 2: And so the fact that Don Lemon doesn't seem to 1111 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 2: understand a very clear hypothetical makes me wonder, Buck, is 1112 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 2: this the largest gap in intelligence in interview history? 1113 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 3: It was? No, it really was. I mean it was astonishing. 1114 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 4: It was a guy, it was really its brilliant, right, 1115 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 4: he must he's a charbably a genius. He's probably like 1116 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 4: a one fifty IQ or something, and maybe even way 1117 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 4: higher than that. But yeah, maybe yeah, And Don Lemon, 1118 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even want to guess. 1119 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 3: But you know, this can work in a whole lot 1120 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 3: of ways. 1121 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 4: I mean, Clay for example, I mean, I'll just admit this. 1122 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 4: I kind of like to get you know, when I'm 1123 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,800 Speaker 4: getting a latte, I kind of wanted to be somebody 1124 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 4: who's got dyed purple hair, a nose ring, and tattoos 1125 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 4: all over there. I don't know why, but those things. 1126 00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,120 Speaker 3: They know coffee better. 1127 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,920 Speaker 8: You try one of those anarchists to make pretty good coffee. 1128 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 8: You go, you go to Oregon, you go to Portland, 1129 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 8: you go to these places. Now, I'm not saying that 1130 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,359 Speaker 8: that has to be the case. I'm sure there are 1131 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,319 Speaker 8: some very nice folks who don't have all that who 1132 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 8: make who make great lattes. But I'm just saying in general, 1133 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 8: I see bizarre piercings and purple hair and tattoos on 1134 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 8: someone's arm at a coffee shop that is playing nineties 1135 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 8: grunge music, and I'm like, I think they're going to 1136 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 8: be good at this. 1137 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 3: I'm just putting that out there. 1138 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 2: The ultimate answer to this for me is, I think 1139 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 2: sports are perfect analogy. If Elon Musk just come back 1140 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 2: and said, you know what, you know, we do need 1141 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 2: to have more diversity in medicine, but we really need 1142 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 2: more diversity in the United States men's basketball team. We 1143 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 2: got to fire a lot of black guys and and 1144 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 2: then you say, wait, you're lowering the standard of the 1145 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 2: performance that's required for a basketball player. Yeah, but it's 1146 00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 2: important for the basketball team to look like America. Almost 1147 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 2: everybody immediately says, no, it's crazy, why would we want 1148 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 2: to do that? 1149 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 4: In any what you've leaned into, I mean, it's interesting 1150 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 4: because quotas everyone agrees are I mean, legally, quotas are unconstitutional. 1151 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 4: But what all these schools do and everybody else is 1152 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 4: because it doesn't line up as though we had a quota. 1153 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 4: It's unjust and the fundamentally that is just wrong. That's 1154 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 4: the problem. 1155 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1156 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 2: And also whenever someone who is a minority dominates a field, 1157 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 2: which is far more statistically improbable, it's never an issue. 1158 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:33,680 Speaker 6: Right. 1159 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 2: That's why the men's basketball team is great. There are 1160 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 2: twelve black guys that represent the United States men's team 1161 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 2: basketball team, the twelve best black guys in America. But 1162 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 2: statistically that's almost improbable. Buck, You'd have to fire about 1163 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 2: ten black guys to make the team look like America. 1164 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 4: DEI and the self contradictions of race politics have made 1165 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 4: more right wingers I think of more people, including a 1166 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 4: lot of minorities, than any I think than almost any 1167 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,560 Speaker 4: other issue out there, I mean the de stuff. And 1168 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 4: I heard Chris Rufo speaking about this a few days ago. 1169 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,439 Speaker 4: And anyway, he was brilliant.
