5
00:00:25,737 --> 00:00:30,137
Speaker 1: He is a conservative activist. He is a student going

6
00:00:30,217 --> 00:00:32,857
Speaker 1: to be a junior at the University of Chicago and

7
00:00:33,017 --> 00:00:36,937
Speaker 1: already making waves. I've seen him on Fox News, I've

8
00:00:36,977 --> 00:00:40,297
Speaker 1: seen his pieces online. Daniel, great to have you on

9
00:00:40,337 --> 00:00:40,657
Speaker 1: the show.

10
00:00:41,537 --> 00:00:44,177
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me. How are you all right?

11
00:00:44,217 --> 00:00:44,417
Speaker 3: Man?

12
00:00:44,977 --> 00:00:48,697
Speaker 1: It's been an interesting interesting time recently. You know, we

13
00:00:48,737 --> 00:00:52,777
Speaker 1: had those Supreme Court decisions came down and it really

14
00:00:52,857 --> 00:00:57,897
Speaker 1: put tremendous focus on admissions on college campuses. I know

15
00:00:57,937 --> 00:00:59,897
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to hear from, say, the president

16
00:00:59,937 --> 00:01:03,657
Speaker 1: of you Chicago, but as a current college student at

17
00:01:03,657 --> 00:01:07,697
Speaker 1: an elite school, what do you think the response of

18
00:01:08,217 --> 00:01:11,697
Speaker 1: the president the admissions committee you Chicago and other places

19
00:01:11,777 --> 00:01:13,337
Speaker 1: like it is going to be to the Supreme Court

20
00:01:13,377 --> 00:01:16,937
Speaker 1: decision that says it's kind of racist to do what

21
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:17,537
Speaker 1: they were doing.

22
00:01:18,777 --> 00:01:22,217
Speaker 3: Well, it's actually really funny because the day of that announcement,

23
00:01:22,657 --> 00:01:25,817
Speaker 3: my administration sent an email to every single student and

24
00:01:25,857 --> 00:01:29,177
Speaker 3: the subject line was we care about diversity or something

25
00:01:29,217 --> 00:01:31,897
Speaker 3: like that, and the whole email is basically like, we

26
00:01:31,977 --> 00:01:34,057
Speaker 3: are troubled by these news and we're going to do

27
00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:38,217
Speaker 3: everything we can to ensure diversity still remains a focus

28
00:01:38,257 --> 00:01:40,417
Speaker 3: at our school. And I know Harvard sends some more emails.

29
00:01:40,457 --> 00:01:42,457
Speaker 3: They all send some more emails, So you know, my

30
00:01:42,577 --> 00:01:45,217
Speaker 3: prediction is they're just going to totally find loopholes. They're

31
00:01:45,257 --> 00:01:46,897
Speaker 3: going to get rid of test scores.

32
00:01:46,897 --> 00:01:47,457
Speaker 2: At my school.

33
00:01:47,497 --> 00:01:50,777
Speaker 3: For example, the sat act is already test optional, and

34
00:01:50,817 --> 00:01:54,137
Speaker 3: I think that's very deliberate. It's to place other emphasis

35
00:01:54,177 --> 00:01:58,577
Speaker 3: on the essays, on the personality arts, which is totally subjective,

36
00:01:58,657 --> 00:02:01,497
Speaker 3: and I think it's going to allow these emission officers, who,

37
00:02:01,857 --> 00:02:04,737
Speaker 3: let's face our all liberal are all bleeding hearts, to

38
00:02:05,217 --> 00:02:07,737
Speaker 3: allow more black kids in, more Hispanic kids in, and

39
00:02:07,897 --> 00:02:09,977
Speaker 3: less white kids in, less Asian kids in. You know,

40
00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:13,297
Speaker 3: I'm a lower middle class white kid, and something I

41
00:02:13,337 --> 00:02:15,737
Speaker 3: always say is that I look around in my school

42
00:02:16,017 --> 00:02:18,977
Speaker 3: and I have met very few middle class white kids.

43
00:02:19,017 --> 00:02:21,337
Speaker 3: It's like a total shock. When I got to school,

44
00:02:21,537 --> 00:02:23,657
Speaker 3: I found plenty of rich white kids, and I found

45
00:02:23,657 --> 00:02:26,697
Speaker 3: plenty of rich black kids, but the class, the middle

46
00:02:26,697 --> 00:02:29,017
Speaker 3: class whites. Those are the group. That's the group that's

47
00:02:29,177 --> 00:02:31,977
Speaker 3: totally missing. And I mean, I hope there are more

48
00:02:32,017 --> 00:02:34,777
Speaker 3: now because affirmative action is gone, but I'm not totally optimistic.

49
00:02:34,817 --> 00:02:37,697
Speaker 3: I think these administrations are going to find loopholes because

50
00:02:37,737 --> 00:02:41,057
Speaker 3: they're so dedicated to this religion of diversity.

51
00:02:41,297 --> 00:02:44,617
Speaker 1: So you think they're probably gonna keep the numbers of

52
00:02:44,817 --> 00:02:48,537
Speaker 1: preferred minority categories the same irrespective of this decision.

53
00:02:49,417 --> 00:02:52,817
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, because you know, it's how it's

54
00:02:52,857 --> 00:02:55,017
Speaker 3: been for the past twenty years. And if they don't

55
00:02:55,057 --> 00:02:56,977
Speaker 3: do it, they'll be called racist. And you know, it's

56
00:02:56,977 --> 00:02:59,057
Speaker 3: so funny because the whole thing about affirmative action, and

57
00:02:59,097 --> 00:03:00,897
Speaker 3: I'm not the first one to say this, but you

58
00:03:00,937 --> 00:03:03,457
Speaker 3: know when they say, oh, you know, underprivileged people are

59
00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:05,977
Speaker 3: getting in, I have not met a single black kid

60
00:03:06,017 --> 00:03:08,217
Speaker 3: who's from like the ghetto or from the hood. These

61
00:03:08,257 --> 00:03:10,897
Speaker 3: black kids, they come from school as, they come from

62
00:03:10,897 --> 00:03:14,017
Speaker 3: boarding schools. They don't come from places where you know,

63
00:03:14,257 --> 00:03:16,577
Speaker 3: there really are underprivileged people. So the whole thing about

64
00:03:16,577 --> 00:03:18,777
Speaker 3: affirmative action is such a farce. But yeah, I think

65
00:03:18,777 --> 00:03:21,097
Speaker 3: you're just gonna do other things to keep the numbers

66
00:03:21,097 --> 00:03:21,457
Speaker 3: the same.

67
00:03:22,537 --> 00:03:27,017
Speaker 1: How is it to be a an out and about

68
00:03:27,177 --> 00:03:30,777
Speaker 1: conservative on the U Chicago campus these days. I mean,

69
00:03:30,817 --> 00:03:35,417
Speaker 1: I was a college Republican at Amherst up in Massachusetts

70
00:03:35,457 --> 00:03:39,377
Speaker 1: back in oh, god, now, early two thousands. So it's

71
00:03:39,417 --> 00:03:43,577
Speaker 1: been twenty years. So tell me, Daniel, what's it like

72
00:03:43,697 --> 00:03:46,217
Speaker 1: these days? I mean, are you do you feel like

73
00:03:46,337 --> 00:03:49,457
Speaker 1: you're empowered in some sense because at least now with

74
00:03:49,497 --> 00:03:52,017
Speaker 1: the Internet and with social media, you can share your

75
00:03:52,097 --> 00:03:54,937
Speaker 1: voice more freely. Or what kind of concerns do you have?

76
00:03:55,017 --> 00:03:56,937
Speaker 1: I mean, just what's it like bring us into the

77
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,777
Speaker 1: life of a campus conservative in twenty twenty three.

78
00:04:00,977 --> 00:04:02,697
Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you a little bit of idea. So

79
00:04:02,897 --> 00:04:05,297
Speaker 3: the first month I started college, you know, I'm a

80
00:04:05,297 --> 00:04:08,457
Speaker 3: debate kid. I enjoy debate. I couldn't participate in a

81
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:11,497
Speaker 3: debate tournament because I'm white. That's not a joke. This

82
00:04:11,977 --> 00:04:15,217
Speaker 3: debate tournament was only open to non white people. This

83
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:17,737
Speaker 3: is my first month in college, and so I kind

84
00:04:17,737 --> 00:04:19,577
Speaker 3: of knew from that point, Okay, this is what the

85
00:04:19,617 --> 00:04:21,377
Speaker 3: next four years are going to look like. And I

86
00:04:21,417 --> 00:04:23,257
Speaker 3: had to do something about it. It had to speak up.

87
00:04:23,377 --> 00:04:26,497
Speaker 3: And you're exactly right. The Internet, Twitter, specifically has really

88
00:04:26,537 --> 00:04:29,817
Speaker 3: allowed this sort of new activism, journalism to happen. I

89
00:04:29,817 --> 00:04:31,857
Speaker 3: don't know what I would do twenty years ago if

90
00:04:31,897 --> 00:04:34,657
Speaker 3: the Internet didn't exist. I think I would who knows.

91
00:04:35,097 --> 00:04:36,897
Speaker 3: I will say this though, Funnily enough, you know a

92
00:04:36,897 --> 00:04:38,817
Speaker 3: lot of people expect me to be like, oh, you know,

93
00:04:39,137 --> 00:04:42,617
Speaker 3: I get attacked constantly, I get being up. Surprisingly, I've

94
00:04:42,697 --> 00:04:45,737
Speaker 3: never had a single negative interaction of someone. I don't

95
00:04:45,737 --> 00:04:47,217
Speaker 3: know if that's because they're scared of me or because

96
00:04:47,217 --> 00:04:49,537
Speaker 3: they just don't care. You know, tons of talking on

97
00:04:49,577 --> 00:04:52,977
Speaker 3: social media, tons of anonymous whispering, but I've never had

98
00:04:53,017 --> 00:04:55,217
Speaker 3: anyone come up to me and been like, oh, you're evil,

99
00:04:55,217 --> 00:04:57,857
Speaker 3: get out of here. So if any students are listening,

100
00:04:57,897 --> 00:05:00,217
Speaker 3: you might be surprised that if you start speaking up

101
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:03,217
Speaker 3: and you're confident about it, you could actually get pretty far.

102
00:05:03,377 --> 00:05:06,097
Speaker 3: And you know, it's funny because literally last week, The

103
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:08,097
Speaker 3: New York Times dropped like a hit piece on me,

104
00:05:08,177 --> 00:05:09,577
Speaker 3: and I kind of knew from that point, Okay, I

105
00:05:09,617 --> 00:05:12,017
Speaker 3: must be doing something. Okay if The New York Times

106
00:05:12,097 --> 00:05:14,097
Speaker 3: is going after me because I'm literally just a nineteen

107
00:05:14,177 --> 00:05:16,497
Speaker 3: year old kid, but yeah, yeah.

108
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:19,097
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, coody, you can't just skip over this.

109
00:05:19,137 --> 00:05:20,897
Speaker 1: Probably the New York Times has done hit pieces on

110
00:05:20,937 --> 00:05:23,337
Speaker 1: me too, my friends, so good job, welcome, welcome to

111
00:05:23,377 --> 00:05:26,017
Speaker 1: the club. But I guess they're supposed to with me.

112
00:05:26,257 --> 00:05:28,537
Speaker 1: I do a pretty big radio show, and some people

113
00:05:28,817 --> 00:05:30,817
Speaker 1: in the movement know who I am. With you, your

114
00:05:30,897 --> 00:05:32,897
Speaker 1: nineteen year old kid of me. You're already making splashes

115
00:05:32,897 --> 00:05:35,617
Speaker 1: here you are on this podcast. What were they doing

116
00:05:35,657 --> 00:05:38,137
Speaker 1: a hit piece on you? Though? Like? What did it say?

117
00:05:38,177 --> 00:05:39,017
Speaker 1: What have you been up to?

118
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:40,577
Speaker 2: Yeah?

119
00:05:40,577 --> 00:05:43,017
Speaker 3: So this all started a few months ago when I

120
00:05:43,057 --> 00:05:45,537
Speaker 3: was registering for classes and I found this one class.

121
00:05:45,577 --> 00:05:48,297
Speaker 3: It was called the Problem of Whiteness. And you know,

122
00:05:48,377 --> 00:05:50,657
Speaker 3: as the title suggests, like what is this saying that

123
00:05:50,697 --> 00:05:53,537
Speaker 3: there's a problem with white people or whiteness and that

124
00:05:53,817 --> 00:05:56,737
Speaker 3: therefore there's a solution. I mean, can you imagine if

125
00:05:56,777 --> 00:05:59,377
Speaker 3: there were a class problem of blackness, problem with any noess?

126
00:05:59,417 --> 00:06:01,897
Speaker 3: I mean, it would be national outreach. So I saw

127
00:06:01,937 --> 00:06:04,417
Speaker 3: this class, and you know, I used my Twitter account

128
00:06:04,457 --> 00:06:06,937
Speaker 3: primarily to raise awareness of this stuff. So I wrote

129
00:06:06,937 --> 00:06:09,337
Speaker 3: a thread about the class. I included the course description,

130
00:06:09,497 --> 00:06:13,497
Speaker 3: which was calling whiteness like a problem with world making effects,

131
00:06:13,897 --> 00:06:16,697
Speaker 3: and I noted the professor teaching it because I think

132
00:06:16,737 --> 00:06:19,897
Speaker 3: it's cru sort to know who these people are. A

133
00:06:19,897 --> 00:06:22,817
Speaker 3: few days later, this professor is calling me a cyber terrorist.

134
00:06:23,017 --> 00:06:26,097
Speaker 3: She's saying my tweets may encourage an armed school shooter,

135
00:06:26,737 --> 00:06:29,737
Speaker 3: and she is demanding my school expel me. She filed

136
00:06:29,777 --> 00:06:32,977
Speaker 3: two separate complaints to get me expelled, saying I basically

137
00:06:33,097 --> 00:06:36,337
Speaker 3: led some national harassment campaign against her. So that was

138
00:06:36,377 --> 00:06:38,697
Speaker 3: all in the span of a few months. Things are quiet,

139
00:06:38,737 --> 00:06:41,177
Speaker 3: and then go back just a few weeks ago, or

140
00:06:41,177 --> 00:06:43,417
Speaker 3: actually two weeks ago, and out of nowhere, the New

141
00:06:43,457 --> 00:06:45,617
Speaker 3: York Times dropped this article about me. They're calling me

142
00:06:45,657 --> 00:06:49,417
Speaker 3: an instigator. They're basically criticizing my school, you Chicago, They're

143
00:06:49,417 --> 00:06:51,977
Speaker 3: saying they should have punished me. And then just a

144
00:06:51,977 --> 00:06:55,097
Speaker 3: few days after that, CNN drops an article written by

145
00:06:55,137 --> 00:06:59,217
Speaker 3: some Obama spokesperson, former Obama spokesperson. She's saying I bully

146
00:06:59,297 --> 00:07:02,097
Speaker 3: people in the silence. She's saying I should be expelled.

147
00:07:02,137 --> 00:07:05,057
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is a national thing. So I

148
00:07:05,097 --> 00:07:07,857
Speaker 3: was totally surprised by that, but I guess it means

149
00:07:07,857 --> 00:07:09,017
Speaker 3: I must be doing something right.

150
00:07:09,097 --> 00:07:11,457
Speaker 2: And this professor has just going after me NonStop.

151
00:07:12,217 --> 00:07:14,897
Speaker 1: So you still have interactions with the professor.

152
00:07:15,417 --> 00:07:16,297
Speaker 2: No, fortunately not.

153
00:07:16,337 --> 00:07:17,737
Speaker 3: I'm a little scared because I don't want to be

154
00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:20,217
Speaker 3: accused of stalking or get a restrained order.

155
00:07:20,537 --> 00:07:24,377
Speaker 2: Yeah you're smart, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

156
00:07:24,217 --> 00:07:26,457
Speaker 1: You got you gotta. You always got to assume that

157
00:07:26,497 --> 00:07:30,457
Speaker 1: the left. You can't even give any any daylight, any

158
00:07:30,537 --> 00:07:33,417
Speaker 1: opening for them to do something nefarious, because I can

159
00:07:33,457 --> 00:07:35,737
Speaker 1: assure you, Daniel, you know, I've got twenty years of

160
00:07:35,777 --> 00:07:40,417
Speaker 1: experience dealing with this and they will, right, So if

161
00:07:40,417 --> 00:07:42,697
Speaker 1: you open the door, they will. I want to come

162
00:07:42,737 --> 00:07:45,137
Speaker 1: back here in a second. I did you actually take

163
00:07:45,177 --> 00:07:47,977
Speaker 1: any of the classes in the Problem with Whiteness or

164
00:07:48,017 --> 00:07:49,697
Speaker 1: do you just see the class description? Like did you

165
00:07:49,697 --> 00:07:50,777
Speaker 1: show up an audit one?

166
00:07:51,857 --> 00:07:52,617
Speaker 2: Well, I was.

167
00:07:52,577 --> 00:07:55,817
Speaker 3: Going to, but then the class temp actually got temporarily

168
00:07:55,857 --> 00:07:58,817
Speaker 3: postponed because I guess she got so many negative emails.

169
00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:02,337
Speaker 3: She got scared. She demanded increase policing, she demanded this

170
00:08:02,377 --> 00:08:04,857
Speaker 3: whole thing. And when the class was later taught in

171
00:08:04,897 --> 00:08:06,577
Speaker 3: the spring, there was no way I'm gonna. I just

172
00:08:06,577 --> 00:08:08,497
Speaker 3: didn't feel safe taking this class, Like is she going.

173
00:08:08,457 --> 00:08:10,817
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course at that point. Yeah, I'd just be

174
00:08:10,857 --> 00:08:13,697
Speaker 1: so curious. I'd be so curious to see it. I

175
00:08:13,737 --> 00:08:17,617
Speaker 1: did take just so you know. It was gosh. Two

176
00:08:17,657 --> 00:08:22,337
Speaker 1: thousand and three, I took a class in sociology, which is,

177
00:08:22,577 --> 00:08:27,337
Speaker 1: you know, you're already dealing with sociology right, the American Right,

178
00:08:27,457 --> 00:08:30,057
Speaker 1: it was called, and there were three conservatives in a

179
00:08:30,097 --> 00:08:32,417
Speaker 1: class with I don't know, forty students in it or something,

180
00:08:32,937 --> 00:08:36,257
Speaker 1: and it was the biggest caricature you'll be You'll not

181
00:08:36,377 --> 00:08:38,977
Speaker 1: be shocked at all to know that the American Right

182
00:08:39,137 --> 00:08:43,577
Speaker 1: in this Amherst College course was just about ignorance, racism,

183
00:08:43,617 --> 00:08:46,977
Speaker 1: and sexism. That's it, That is the America. I was like, oh, wow, okay,

184
00:08:47,537 --> 00:08:48,977
Speaker 1: that's that's a really, that's a really.

185
00:08:49,617 --> 00:08:51,537
Speaker 3: I mean that was before Trump. When Trump came, I

186
00:08:51,537 --> 00:08:54,057
Speaker 3: mean that totally changed everything. Now it's all about him

187
00:08:54,097 --> 00:08:56,297
Speaker 3: and how he's racist, evil, So it's even worse now.

188
00:08:56,337 --> 00:08:57,217
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not surprised.

189
00:08:57,377 --> 00:09:00,377
Speaker 1: Let's let's I want to get to gender gender identity

190
00:09:00,417 --> 00:09:02,177

191

00:10:15,937 --> 00:10:16,097
Speaker 2: Now?

216
00:10:16,097 --> 00:10:17,137
Speaker 1: What's it like these days?

217
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:18,697
Speaker 2: Yeah?

218
00:10:18,697 --> 00:10:21,617
Speaker 3: Well, in many classes, the first day of class is

219
00:10:21,657 --> 00:10:24,497
Speaker 3: always go around, say your name, say your pronouns, and

220
00:10:24,657 --> 00:10:27,737
Speaker 3: really how a class. Yeah, and if you don't do it,

221
00:10:27,777 --> 00:10:30,457
Speaker 3: you know, everyone already knows you're a conservative. So you know,

222
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:32,697
Speaker 3: it's been a rule for me never. I've never said

223
00:10:32,737 --> 00:10:34,617
Speaker 3: anything like that so far, and I knew my first

224
00:10:34,697 --> 00:10:36,617
Speaker 3: day going in everyone's already looking at me when I

225
00:10:36,617 --> 00:10:39,097
Speaker 3: just say hey, my name's Daniel, and then there's silence afterward.

226
00:10:39,137 --> 00:10:41,457
Speaker 3: They expected me to say whatever. So yeah, no, that's

227
00:10:41,497 --> 00:10:44,937
Speaker 3: totally mandatory. And another thing that's just totally crazy that

228
00:10:45,057 --> 00:10:48,257
Speaker 3: your listeners may be surprised by is these debate tournaments.

229
00:10:48,257 --> 00:10:50,937
Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier how I couldn't participate in one because

230
00:10:50,977 --> 00:10:53,297
Speaker 3: I'm white. It's not just that at the beginning of

231
00:10:53,377 --> 00:10:55,737
Speaker 3: every round you have to say trigger warnings and if

232
00:10:55,737 --> 00:10:59,537
Speaker 3: you don't you can actually lose around. I almost lost around.

233
00:10:59,897 --> 00:11:01,657
Speaker 3: I don't do debate anymore because it's a joke. But

234
00:11:01,697 --> 00:11:03,857
Speaker 3: when I was doing it initially, I almost lost the round.

235
00:11:03,937 --> 00:11:05,897
Speaker 3: We were talking about like the Korean War or something

236
00:11:06,177 --> 00:11:09,057
Speaker 3: I didn't give a trigger warning for, like war casualties,

237
00:11:09,097 --> 00:11:12,217
Speaker 3: death destruction, and they SAIDY almost lost, So I mean,

238
00:11:12,217 --> 00:11:14,417
Speaker 3: it is totally you know, you hear these stories and

239
00:11:14,457 --> 00:11:15,897
Speaker 3: you assume it's exaggerated.

240
00:11:15,897 --> 00:11:17,537
Speaker 2: It's not. It's really as bad as it seems.

241
00:11:17,617 --> 00:11:22,017
Speaker 1: Wait, so it's it's mandatory to give a trigger warning

242
00:11:22,297 --> 00:11:25,817
Speaker 1: in college debate. Now you and if you don't, you

243
00:11:25,817 --> 00:11:26,657
Speaker 1: get puts off.

244
00:11:27,217 --> 00:11:29,377
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you can lose the round because you know

245
00:11:29,537 --> 00:11:33,017
Speaker 3: you're doing harm to people. It's I'm not exaggering about that.

246
00:11:33,057 --> 00:11:33,897
Speaker 3: It's actually insane.

247
00:11:34,617 --> 00:11:37,257
Speaker 1: I did. I did high school debate for a little bit,

248
00:11:37,417 --> 00:11:39,537
Speaker 1: and and even then I felt like it was always

249
00:11:39,697 --> 00:11:43,297
Speaker 1: very politicized, like if you were arguing, you'd have to

250
00:11:43,377 --> 00:11:45,537
Speaker 1: argue both sides that right, was Lincoln Douglas style debate.

251
00:11:45,937 --> 00:11:49,097
Speaker 1: But if they got the sense that you I'm telling you,

252
00:11:49,097 --> 00:11:51,137
Speaker 1: if they got the sense of your politics, the judges

253
00:11:51,217 --> 00:11:54,377
Speaker 1: you were, you were in bad shape, bad shape usually.

254
00:11:54,417 --> 00:11:56,457
Speaker 1: So the gender politics stuff, do you have a lot

255
00:11:56,497 --> 00:12:01,417
Speaker 1: of conversations on campus about, you know, should the transgender

256
00:12:01,457 --> 00:12:04,057
Speaker 1: students use these bathrooms, those bathrooms, et cetera. You know

257
00:12:04,097 --> 00:12:04,457
Speaker 1: what I mean?

258
00:12:05,737 --> 00:12:09,457
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me think not really, you know, uh, we

259
00:12:09,577 --> 00:12:10,937
Speaker 3: have frat, we have sororities.

260
00:12:10,937 --> 00:12:13,097
Speaker 2: I haven't heard much about women trying to join or

261
00:12:13,257 --> 00:12:13,697
Speaker 2: that's in that.

262
00:12:13,897 --> 00:12:16,617
Speaker 3: Not really, I'm trying to think you know my schools,

263
00:12:16,617 --> 00:12:17,857
Speaker 3: and I will say this, My school is like a

264
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:18,697
Speaker 3: very nerdy school.

265
00:12:18,697 --> 00:12:20,097
Speaker 2: We're kind of known for like the nerdiness.

266
00:12:20,137 --> 00:12:22,977
Speaker 3: So it is relatively apolitical, which I think is probably

267
00:12:23,017 --> 00:12:24,697
Speaker 3: the reason why I have succeeded so much. I think

268
00:12:24,737 --> 00:12:26,977
Speaker 3: if I went to like Yale or UC Berkeley, I

269
00:12:27,017 --> 00:12:29,097
Speaker 3: would probably have been kicked out by now. So I

270
00:12:29,097 --> 00:12:30,697
Speaker 3: do have to give credits to my school. But it's

271
00:12:30,737 --> 00:12:32,337
Speaker 3: been pretty common that aspect.

272
00:12:32,577 --> 00:12:34,977
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look that's a good thing. Sounds like you

273
00:12:35,057 --> 00:12:37,897
Speaker 1: found a place where I mean, I say Amherst. When

274
00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:41,577
Speaker 1: people would show up, it's all it was all Patagonia

275
00:12:41,657 --> 00:12:45,657
Speaker 1: fleeces and people wearing sweats and playing soccer in the quad.

276
00:12:46,137 --> 00:12:48,177
Speaker 1: And then when the parents would drop their kids off

277
00:12:48,177 --> 00:12:51,377
Speaker 1: and go, it just turned into a Marxist indoctrination factory.

278
00:12:51,417 --> 00:12:54,457
Speaker 1: Like everyone just all the professors. I found the one

279
00:12:54,577 --> 00:13:01,257
Speaker 1: conservative political truly the sole conservative political science professor on

280
00:13:01,297 --> 00:13:05,097
Speaker 1: the campus, Daniel, and he was it was so tense

281
00:13:05,137 --> 00:13:09,737
Speaker 1: with his colleagues that they made him leave the political

282
00:13:09,737 --> 00:13:11,777
Speaker 1: science It's building, Like there was a building where all

283
00:13:11,817 --> 00:13:15,217
Speaker 1: the professors were co located for their offices, and he

284
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:19,577
Speaker 1: was with the admin of like the dean of housing

285
00:13:19,977 --> 00:13:22,537
Speaker 1: and things like that, because he wasn't able to even

286
00:13:22,577 --> 00:13:27,577
Speaker 1: share a building space with other professors who were obviously

287
00:13:27,737 --> 00:13:30,177
Speaker 1: enormous libs and completely out of their minds. Come back

288

Speaker 1: We didna get you hooked up with a pair of

314
00:14:40,777 --> 00:14:42,537
Speaker 1: you get into this game? And also, are you an

315
00:14:42,577 --> 00:14:44,457
Speaker 1: East Coast guy? You sound to me like you're an

316
00:14:44,497 --> 00:14:45,177
Speaker 1: East Coast guy.

317
00:14:46,017 --> 00:14:46,537
Speaker 2: That's funny.

318
00:14:46,537 --> 00:14:48,577
Speaker 3: I'm actually I'm actually from Tennessee, from just like a

319
00:14:48,697 --> 00:14:49,617
Speaker 3: totally normal town.

320
00:14:49,737 --> 00:14:52,697
Speaker 1: So no, well you're like my co host Clay, who's

321
00:14:52,697 --> 00:14:57,617
Speaker 1: from Nashville and does not has no Southern accident whatsoever. None. Right, yeah,

322
00:14:57,777 --> 00:15:00,937
Speaker 1: that's so, So how'd you get into all this? Like,

323
00:15:01,057 --> 00:15:04,297
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're a young guy. You're doing media,

324
00:15:04,377 --> 00:15:06,297
Speaker 1: you know here you are. I mean, gosh, I was

325
00:15:06,337 --> 00:15:08,937
Speaker 1: just trying to show up on time for my crappy

326
00:15:09,017 --> 00:15:11,057
Speaker 1: sociology class when I was your age. So how'd you

327
00:15:11,057 --> 00:15:11,617
Speaker 1: get into it?

328
00:15:12,657 --> 00:15:12,857
Speaker 2: Well?

329
00:15:12,857 --> 00:15:14,817
Speaker 3: Listen, I mean I didn't have any grand plans. I

330
00:15:14,857 --> 00:15:17,617
Speaker 3: still don't have some grand strategy. I kind of just

331
00:15:17,737 --> 00:15:19,537
Speaker 3: you know, I call out what I think is wrong

332
00:15:19,577 --> 00:15:21,457
Speaker 3: and I defend what I think is true. That's kind

333
00:15:21,457 --> 00:15:23,777
Speaker 3: of been my guiding motto. And I started it when

334
00:15:23,777 --> 00:15:25,657
Speaker 3: I when I got into college, and I've had a

335
00:15:25,657 --> 00:15:28,657
Speaker 3: lot of success. And you know, you mentioned Tucker Carls

336
00:15:28,657 --> 00:15:31,337
Speaker 3: and he reached out to me after I asked a

337
00:15:31,457 --> 00:15:33,217
Speaker 3: question to an Applebaum.

338
00:15:33,257 --> 00:15:35,097
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're familiar for this. You know,

339
00:15:35,257 --> 00:15:37,657
Speaker 2: total lib journalist.

340
00:15:37,697 --> 00:15:39,657
Speaker 3: She came to my school and I asked her about

341
00:15:39,697 --> 00:15:43,337
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden's laptop and her answer was like totally ridiculous.

342
00:15:43,457 --> 00:15:45,257
Speaker 3: And the video clip got a lot of views, and

343
00:15:45,337 --> 00:15:46,137
Speaker 3: I guess you saw it.

344
00:15:46,217 --> 00:15:48,857
Speaker 1: I remember that. That's right. I should have endewed that.

345
00:15:49,097 --> 00:15:52,057
Speaker 1: My friend. You had a viral moment just by asking.

346
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:56,937
Speaker 1: She's a historian slash lib who's written a lot of

347
00:15:56,937 --> 00:16:00,937
Speaker 1: books about the Soviet Union and Ukraine, things like that. Stalin,

348
00:16:01,457 --> 00:16:03,977
Speaker 1: and you asked about the Hunter Biden laptop at some

349
00:16:04,137 --> 00:16:05,817
Speaker 1: form of Chicago and what did she say?

350
00:16:06,857 --> 00:16:08,937
Speaker 3: Her answer was just literally like I don't care, Like

351
00:16:09,017 --> 00:16:12,377
Speaker 3: that was totally here answer. And even the kids in

352
00:16:12,417 --> 00:16:14,177
Speaker 3: the audience were looking at me like, what the heck

353
00:16:14,217 --> 00:16:15,897
Speaker 3: did you just say? I mean, this was the biggest

354
00:16:15,897 --> 00:16:17,777
Speaker 3: story of the time. I asked her, I said, do

355
00:16:17,817 --> 00:16:19,897
Speaker 3: you think it was wrong that you claimed the story

356
00:16:20,017 --> 00:16:22,297
Speaker 3: was rushing? This info turned out to be true. The

357
00:16:22,297 --> 00:16:24,697
Speaker 3: New York Times confirmed that her answer was I don't care,

358
00:16:25,057 --> 00:16:27,457
Speaker 3: and I you know, just the arrogance was just totally insane.

359
00:16:27,497 --> 00:16:30,297
Speaker 3: Even David Axelrod, you know, Obama's chief strategist, was sitting

360
00:16:30,297 --> 00:16:30,657
Speaker 3: next there.

361
00:16:30,817 --> 00:16:32,377
Speaker 2: He couldn't believe it. He's like, Okay, well, need to

362
00:16:32,377 --> 00:16:33,057
Speaker 2: shut it down now.

363
00:16:33,417 --> 00:16:37,217
Speaker 3: So but but listen, even that example and out the examples.

364
00:16:37,297 --> 00:16:39,377
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that it was going to be recorded.

365
00:16:39,417 --> 00:16:41,217
Speaker 3: I didn't have any grand plans going in. I just

366
00:16:41,217 --> 00:16:42,817
Speaker 3: did it because I got the mic and I was like,

367
00:16:42,897 --> 00:16:44,977
Speaker 3: let me ask her this stuff. So, you know what

368
00:16:45,057 --> 00:16:46,617
Speaker 3: I want to achieve in the next two years I'm

369
00:16:46,617 --> 00:16:48,937
Speaker 3: in college. It's not it's not fame or anything like that.

370
00:16:49,217 --> 00:16:51,897
Speaker 3: I just want to inspire other students to speak up

371
00:16:51,937 --> 00:16:54,617
Speaker 3: to do something about it. Because I come from a

372
00:16:54,657 --> 00:16:57,377
Speaker 3: single mother household. I don't come from any extraordinary backgrounds,

373
00:16:57,617 --> 00:16:59,177
Speaker 3: and I've just been doing this and I've you know,

374
00:16:59,217 --> 00:17:01,097
Speaker 3: now New York Times, I guess is attacking me, so

375
00:17:01,137 --> 00:17:03,097
Speaker 3: I must be doing something right. So there are any

376
00:17:03,137 --> 00:17:05,537
Speaker 3: other students listening in or just you know, hear about me,

377
00:17:05,697 --> 00:17:07,617
Speaker 3: all I want to do is inspire them, show that

378
00:17:07,657 --> 00:17:10,177
Speaker 3: you can actually achieve more than you think. And you

379
00:17:10,217 --> 00:17:12,137
Speaker 3: know I've had you know, there is this policy on

380
00:17:12,217 --> 00:17:15,217
Speaker 3: my school that banned unvaccinated students from dining halls. I

381
00:17:15,297 --> 00:17:18,337
Speaker 3: pressed my administration. They reversed it. So just small things

382
00:17:18,377 --> 00:17:20,257
Speaker 3: like that, you can actually make a bigger difference than

383
00:17:20,257 --> 00:17:23,257
Speaker 3: you think, and you can also inspire other students around you,

384
00:17:23,297 --> 00:17:25,377
Speaker 3: and before you know it, there's this like cascading effect

385
00:17:25,417 --> 00:17:28,057
Speaker 3: where you actually may be surprised how many kids agree

386
00:17:28,097 --> 00:17:29,897
Speaker 3: with you. So that's been my main goal is just

387
00:17:29,937 --> 00:17:33,017
Speaker 3: sort of to inspire. But yeah, the Tucker interview was phenomenal.

388
00:17:33,697 --> 00:17:35,817
Speaker 3: I'm blessed to have that opportunity.

389
00:17:35,857 --> 00:17:39,497
Speaker 1: Have you had professors, even if just quietly and in

390
00:17:39,577 --> 00:17:42,657
Speaker 1: back channel, reach out to you to support you and

391
00:17:42,697 --> 00:17:47,417
Speaker 1: say they appreciate what you're doing. Have you been surprised

392
00:17:47,457 --> 00:17:49,497
Speaker 1: at some of the support you've received from people in

393
00:17:49,537 --> 00:17:52,737
Speaker 1: the administration, not publicly, but just to let you know

394
00:17:52,777 --> 00:17:56,017
Speaker 1: that they think that you're taking an ethical approach, et cetera.

395
00:17:56,977 --> 00:17:59,577
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have had a few professors. Actually a professor

396
00:17:59,577 --> 00:18:02,337
Speaker 3: I had last quarter, I had no idea. He liked me,

397
00:18:02,417 --> 00:18:04,537
Speaker 3: and then in the last day of class he was like, hey,

398
00:18:04,577 --> 00:18:06,017
Speaker 3: I love what do you do it with that problem

399
00:18:06,017 --> 00:18:08,497
Speaker 3: of whiteness class? I was like, really, I mean so again,

400
00:18:08,537 --> 00:18:10,177
Speaker 3: I just want to stress, like you never know, well,

401
00:18:10,497 --> 00:18:12,297
Speaker 3: like a lot of you know, there's this idea that

402
00:18:12,337 --> 00:18:15,617
Speaker 3: these universities are just totally liberal dominated, and of course

403
00:18:15,657 --> 00:18:17,177
Speaker 3: they are, but I think we've gotten to a point

404
00:18:17,177 --> 00:18:20,417
Speaker 3: where it's so extreme that more and more kids are

405
00:18:20,457 --> 00:18:22,297
Speaker 3: saying enough is enough. And if you take a stand,

406
00:18:22,297 --> 00:18:25,257
Speaker 3: you'd be surprised how many professors, students, etc.

407
00:18:25,657 --> 00:18:26,937
Speaker 2: Are actually wanting to agree with you.

408
00:18:28,217 --> 00:18:30,457
Speaker 1: Ask you some gen Z questions we get back, just

409
00:18:30,497 --> 00:18:32,097
Speaker 1: so I you know, so I'm up to speed on

410
00:18:32,137 --> 00:18:34,977
Speaker 1: these things. You're going to be my gen Z correspondent, Like,

411
00:18:35,017 --> 00:18:36,817
Speaker 1: is it really true that all of you guys and

412
00:18:37,337 --> 00:18:41,257
Speaker 1: girls get your news from YouTube and TikTok Now? But

413
00:18:41,337 --> 00:18:44,017
Speaker 1: I'm going to hold off on that for one second. Daniel.

414
00:18:44,617 --> 00:18:46,777
Speaker 1: The value of for life savings and retirement accounts is

415
00:18:46,777 --> 00:18:49,297
Speaker 1: dependent in part on our stock market. Take into account

416
00:18:49,297 --> 00:18:51,977
Speaker 1: what effects our stock market's performance, and ask yourself, do

417
00:18:51,977 --> 00:18:53,937
Speaker 1: you really want to put all your marbles in one basket.

418
00:18:54,057 --> 00:18:56,577
Speaker 1: It's just not wise. All it takes is volatility, and

419
00:18:56,657 --> 00:18:59,657
Speaker 1: all of a sudden your market can show your accounts

420
00:18:59,657 --> 00:19:02,177
Speaker 1: are way down. It makes the premise of owning gold

421
00:19:02,257 --> 00:19:06,297
Speaker 1: right now, this time in history, smart gold has both

422
00:19:06,337 --> 00:19:08,777
Speaker 1: an investment and a hedge against inflation. Makes a lot

423
00:19:08,817 --> 00:19:11,897
Speaker 1: of sense. So is my precious metals vendor of choice,

424
00:19:11,897 --> 00:19:13,937
Speaker 1: the Oxford Gold Group. I've been buying gold from them

00:19:14,417 --> 00:19:17,617
Speaker 1: for years and my gold holdings have done very well

426
00:19:17,617 --> 00:19:21,617
Speaker 1: for me. I've got them here in person physically possession

427
00:19:21,657 --> 00:19:23,817

Speaker 1: do you watch mister beast? Is that is he like?

435
00:19:50,217 --> 00:19:52,017
Speaker 1: As this is going on YouTube and there are people

436
00:19:52,017 --> 00:19:54,577
Speaker 1: on YouTube that I see they've I'm told they've got

437
00:19:54,657 --> 00:19:57,817
Speaker 1: like a billion followers or something. Crazy, and I'm like,

438
00:19:57,857 --> 00:20:00,537
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Is it really YouTube and TikTok

439
00:20:00,537 --> 00:20:03,257
Speaker 1: that just totally dominate the younger generation now, so like

440
00:20:03,337 --> 00:20:06,057
Speaker 1: eighteen to eighteen to thirty basically, are you guys all

441
00:20:06,137 --> 00:20:07,617
Speaker 1: just YouTube and TikTok all the time?

442
00:20:09,057 --> 00:20:12,297
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say it's actually TikTok. You know the

443
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:13,937
Speaker 3: app is. I mean, it's the number one app in

444
00:20:13,977 --> 00:20:15,737
Speaker 3: the world. I think it has more trafficked than Google

445
00:20:15,857 --> 00:20:18,417
Speaker 3: now if and I'm mistaken, So yeah, I mean it's

446
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:21,937
Speaker 3: really interesting because pretty much everyone my age is on TikTok.

447
00:20:22,057 --> 00:20:25,297
Speaker 3: But I would say only maybe twenty to thirty percent

448
00:20:25,337 --> 00:20:27,617
Speaker 3: of people my age are on Twitter, So I think

449
00:20:27,657 --> 00:20:29,777
Speaker 3: Twitter is more for like the older crowd, the more

450
00:20:29,897 --> 00:20:31,897
Speaker 3: educated crowd, if you are the people who really care

451
00:20:31,937 --> 00:20:35,697
Speaker 3: about politics. But pretty much everyone my age is on TikTok,

452
00:20:35,737 --> 00:20:38,297
Speaker 3: which is why super influential app. And if you have

453
00:20:38,377 --> 00:20:40,977
Speaker 3: China involved, if you have these people pushing this stuff,

454
00:20:41,297 --> 00:20:43,977
Speaker 3: you can you can influence the youth incredibly on TikTok,

455
00:20:44,017 --> 00:20:46,897
Speaker 3: whereas Twitter, it's it's less on the youth and more

456
00:20:46,937 --> 00:20:49,737
Speaker 3: on you know, political people and more older crowd, So

457
00:20:49,817 --> 00:20:51,577
Speaker 3: you're gonna get TikTok growing.

458
00:20:51,377 --> 00:20:53,337
Speaker 1: App Are you going to get into politics? Do you think

459
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:54,937
Speaker 1: when you graduate? I know you've got a couple of years.

460
00:20:54,977 --> 00:20:55,537
Speaker 1: Is that the plan?

461
00:20:56,977 --> 00:20:59,137
Speaker 3: You know? The way I see it is, I don't

462
00:20:59,137 --> 00:21:01,417
Speaker 3: want to, like, if if I have a calling, I'll

463
00:21:01,417 --> 00:21:03,057
Speaker 3: get into politics. I think the problem now is so

464
00:21:03,137 --> 00:21:05,617
Speaker 3: many people just get into politics, you know, just for
