1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission where

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Make no mistake a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Show begins. He's a great guy. No, what an honor

5
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: it is to be in the Freedom Hunt. I am

6
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: not Buck Sexting. My name is Mike Tlayta uh fuck

7
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: and I have worked together for years and super grateful

8
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: to be here and what I'm feeling it from today.

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Buck will be back tomorrow. Have no fear. But what

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: a ridiculous time to be alive, and an important time too.

11
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: I think often of the Abigail Adams quote that she

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: wrote in a letter to her husband. It's one of

13
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: my favorites. She said, these are the times in which

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: a genius would wish to live. It's not in the

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: still calm of life or the repose of a pacific

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: station that great characters are formed, the habits of a

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: vigorous mind are formed, and contending with difficulties, great necessities

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: call out great virtues. I know that's a buckstance for

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: every single day, and hopefully we can do a little

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: more of that for the next couple hours. Here right now,

21
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: we are living in a perfect storm of postmodernism, postmodern philosophers, philosophy, Marxism.

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: You're throwing there, a little critical race theory that's the

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: root of Black Lives matter. And the three of these

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: explain everything that we're seeing right now in our culture.

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: And today we're going to touch on all these a

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: little bit on my show I host out in San Diego.

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm on Rate before Buck, we've had we've been analyzing

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: the philosophies of postmodernism, the philosophers of postmodernism that have

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: led us to this point. But you can't just stop there.

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks we've been doing also a deep

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: dive on the philosophies and principles and virtues that this

32
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: country is built on. Right, So we need to know

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: not only what we're fighting against, but of course also

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: what we're fighting for. So we're going to do some

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: of that today as well. Let's start here. Herd an

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: interview the other day with Chloe Valderray. She is fantastic.

37
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: The more I'm hearing from her, the more I love her.

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: She has this thing called the theory of enchantment, and

39
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: it's based on two premises. Premises first that we live

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: in an already atomized not item, but atom like, an

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: atom like, a single individual thing, an atomized and isolated country,

42
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: a divided country already, and then you throw on top

43
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: of that a spiritual malnourishment. I love that concept. We

44
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: have a spiritual malnourishment. I hate the concept with you.

45
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: I like her definition of it. Spiritual malnourishment in this country,

46
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: and it manifests itself in many different ways, and one

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: of them is this woke, anti racist cult that we've seen.

48
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a lot about that today as well.

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: But we are living in a crisis of meaning in

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: this country. We don't know who we are. And our

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: education system has purposefully and we're gonna talk about this

52
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: mostly in the next hour, has purposefully intentionally taught kids

53
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: that we are not only like like, not a great country,

54
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: but we're the worst country. So were the absolute worst

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: country in the world. So younger people in particular, but

56
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: everyone many older people are grasping at trying to figure

57
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: out a purpose. I mean, we're telling kids from a

58
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: younger and younger age that this country is rotten at

59
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: its core from its founding. That's the sixteen nineteen project.

60
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: We're telling kids at a younger and younger age, at

61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: your life is hopeless, that systemic racism, the system is

62
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: stacked against you. No matter what you do. You live

63
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: in a white supremacist nation, and you will always be oppressed.

64
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: And we're telling our kids from a younger and younger

65
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: age that life is not only hopeless but meaningless. There

66
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: is no God, there's no afterlife. That this is all

67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: there is, racist, hopeless and meaningless. Who thinks this is

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: going to go well? Racist, hopeless and meaningless. That's what

69
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: we're teaching our kids. People obviously are going to be miserable.

70
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Would that toxic stew preach to them everywhere? Turn? I mean,

71
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: if you think this country and your life is racist,

72
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: hopeless and meaningless, why wouldn't you burn buildings to the ground?

73
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: What else? What is he going to do? It's sad

74
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: our nation's spiritual malnourishment. Because of that, we need to

75
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: People are trying to fill that space that's made for God.

76
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: People are trying to fill it with something. An identity

77
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: that used to be rooted in the Christian faith is

78
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: now rooted in my race, my identity, my intersectionality. And

79
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: we just fight each other because we're all in our

80
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: individual tribes. It is. It's really sad that our country

81
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: has has turned into this. It doesn't have to stay

82
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: like this, though, and this is the things that we're

83
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: going to talk about about how to get out of

84
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: this and what we what we should be united behind instead.

85
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: But let me one last point on this, men in particular,

86
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Men in particular are checked out and need to step up.

87
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I read a study from a couple of psychologists the

88
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: other day and they argue that men two things. Men

89
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: have a desire likes, just a natural desire for conflict,

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: healthy conflict, struggle, and accomplishment. But instead of going out

91
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: and doing something productive, so many men just play video games.

92
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: So it's fake war. These video games are designed to

93
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: give you this gradual feeling of accomplishment over time and

94
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: make you feel like you're doing something, but you're not.

95
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: And so many young people, young men in particular, are thinking, well,

96
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't have to build a thing. I don't have

97
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: to perfect a skill. I can just build something in

98
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: this video game. I don't need to improve a marketable

99
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: skill or a soul nourishing skill. I can just numb

100
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: that urge by getting a new high score. I can

101
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: fake my brain into thinking that I'm a man with

102
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: fake war on a computer screen. That's a spiritual malnourishment

103
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: right there. The second thing is men have a desire

104
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: to seek a sexual partnership. Men have a natural urge

105
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: to have sex, and women used to not give it

106
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: up and would force the man, for everyone's best interest,

107
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to channel that sex drive into courtship, into being a gentleman,

108
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: into proving that he can provide for her, into honoring her,

109
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: into helping her and giving her what she desires for

110
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: her life. Right these all led to a greater social

111
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: good for everyone. But now in our modern world postmodernism,

112
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: instead of dealing with all the woman's crazy demands, you

113
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: can just watch porn. It's free, it's instant, it's online.

114
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Done prompsolve back to my video games. I say that

115
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: because Dad's I've a three year old to two year

116
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: old and a five month old. Dad's If you can

117
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: raise your boys to not watch porn or play video

118
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: games and instead channel those natural urges of accomplishment and

119
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: sex drive into skills and courtship, they'll they'll have a

120
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: super power. For everyone else, they will be living with

121
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: a superpower amongst the masses. Do not let your kids

122
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: fall prey to our postmodern culture. Coming up the next hour,

123
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk specifically about postmodern math and how the

124
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: left is taking over not only history that's obvious, but

125
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: also math. You're thinking math, how do you take over math?

126
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: We'll do that and a little bit. But don't let

127
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: your kids fall for this this culture that they're growing

128
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: up in. It is toxic, and it doesn't you don't

129
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: have to. It's just need to be aware of how

130
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: bad it is and then make the decision not to

131
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: be tossed about by the wind. Okay, let me let

132
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: me change gears here a bit. I want to talk

133
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: for a minute here, and then we'll take a break

134
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: and we'll come back, and I want to play. After

135
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: hours and hours of deliberation, I found the number one

136
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: all time best Jordan Peterson clot and this video has

137
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: only got six thousand views. I don't know why it

138
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have six million views, but we'll play that coming.

139
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about personal responsibility because this

140
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: is another major missing component here so my show. The

141
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: other day, I talked to Professor Azarad from Hillsdale College

142
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: and he said something that's struck with me, and I

143
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: thought about it every day since, so I want to

144
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: go over it. Here. We were talking about true equality,

145
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: like as our founding fathers envisioned it, as opposed to

146
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: equity as our woke progressives push it today, which is

147
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: very different. It's equality of outcome. So what are our

148
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: founding fathers of view about equality and what are the

149
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: progressives today think of equality? Equality of outcome? Very different?

150
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: And we talked about how in a country with equality

151
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: of opportunity among people who have the ability to reason,

152
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: there also has to be responsibility that comes along with that.

153
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: So I asked him about what are the responsibilities? What

154
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: are your responsibilities as a citizen in a free country,

155
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: And he said, Slater, imagine I like this. Imagine concentric circles,

156
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: and in the middle you have the individual you, then

157
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: you have family, community, country, and on the outsid side

158
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: the human race. The further out you go, the fewer responsibilities.

159
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: You have maximum responsibility for yourself. The further out you go,

160
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: there for you or you have no. Of course, that

161
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have no responsibility for the human race

162
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: or you hate the human race by no stretch of

163
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: the imagination. It's just a fewer responsibilities than yourself. First.

164
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: Now here's the deal. The progressive it's like everything have

165
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: it backwards. Their worldview is that you need to first

166
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: be responsible for the whole human race. That's why you

167
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: hear them say I'm a global citizen. But in the

168
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: process of doing that, or at least virtue signaling that

169
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: they're doing that, they're ignoring the people around them. You

170
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: see it rampant in California right people talking about, you know,

171
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: the self righteous global citizen, but homelessness is out of control.

172
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: And then even worse than that, no personal accountability, no

173
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: personal responsibility either. I want to talk more about that next,

174
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: and we'll play this amazing jorder piece of Peters Coples next.

175
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm Mike's later filling it for the Great Buck Sex

176
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Spread the word You're in

177
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast,

178
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Mike Slider filling in for the Great Buck Sexton today.

179
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: Let me finish up this point here. Buck will be

180
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: back tomorrow, of course, So concentric circles inside individual, family

181
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: than community, country, and human race. The further out you

182
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: go from the center, the less responsibility you have, and

183
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: the postmodernist today, everything's backwards. They would argue that first,

184
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: your first responsibility, or at least their rhetoric is your

185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: first responsibility is the human race. I'm a world citizen,

186
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm a global citizen, all that nonsense, and then they

187
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: work backwards, and of course, because it's backwards, everything screwed up.

188
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: So they're a world citizen, but they hate their country,

189
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: they ignore their community, they have broken families and they leave.

190
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: They live miserable individual lives. To be a little cynical,

191
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 1: but that's how that goes. I'm debating whether or not

192
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: to do a biography of Marks today in our short

193
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: time together. But Carl Marx and John Jacques Rousseau, one

194
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: of the most influential on him in philosophers, who was

195
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the major ramifications today, These two are perfect example. These

196
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: guys were broken, cruel, narcissistic, nearly psychopath. So many of

197
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Russo's contemporaries called him a monster, a monster, and Marx

198
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: was the same. These people did not work on their

199
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: individual selves. Russo abandoned all five of his infant children

200
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: at the local orphanage, where two thirds of them died

201
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: before the age of one. Terrible person. But what he

202
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: did because they didn't work on himself and his family.

203
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: He elevated the state in the name of the human race. Right,

204
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: So they say they're putting humanity first, but it's impossible

205
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: to that's too vast. So what they end up doing

206
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: is putting themselves first. And it's just narcissism on parade.

207
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: And and Marx was an amazing example. Then all right,

208
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: let me give an example this in action. It's my

209
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: favorite Jordan Peterson Clutton. So he's in Australia and doing

210
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: some show and this woman asks him about these big

211
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: global things, big global, big in things that are too

212
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: massive for me to fix on my own, things that

213
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: are well out of our control. As she says, she

214
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: has this live. She said, you know you joined Peterson.

215
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: You talk about individual responsibility, but most of us are

216
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: never going to be able to afford to have all

217
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: these assets to have responsibility over. So you can see

218
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: even she's framing it as it's all about the outer circle,

219
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the humanity, the human race circle, denying even the existence

220
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: of the inner circle of personal responsibility doesn't even exist.

221
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: So his first answer is, well, those things that you're

222
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: worried about are not as far out of your control,

223
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: as you think. And then here's what he says next,

224
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: cook One, Well, fundamentally, I'm a psychologist, and my experiences

225
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: being that people can do a tremendous amount of good

226
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: for themselves and for the people who are immediately around

227
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: them by looking to their own inadequacies and their own

228
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: flaws and the things that they're not doing in their

229
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: lives and starting to build themselves up as more powerful individuals.

230
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: If they're capable of doing that, and then they're capable

231
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: of expanding their career. And if they're capable of expanding

232
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: their career and their competence, then they're capable of taking

233
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: their place in the community as effective leaders. And then

234
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: they're capable of making wise decision instead of unwise decisions

235
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to making collective political decisions. Not suggesting

236
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: in the least, and have never suggested that there's no

237
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: domain for social action. I'm suggesting that people who don't

238
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: have their own houses and orders should be very careful

239
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: before they go about reorganizing the world, which happens in

240
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: many ways. And she I wish you could say, she

241
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: shakes her head in discussing, no, no way. She hates

242
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: that answer because she wants, she wants to abdicate all

243
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: of her personal responsibility. No, you understand, joining these bobs

244
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: are way out of my control. And he's like, no, no, no,

245
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: focus on you, the immense amount of good that you

246
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: can you're and then and then the people around you.

247
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: So you work and you prove yourself, work on your flaws.

248
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Then you can expand your career in the next concentric circle.

249
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Then you can take your place in the community as

250
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: an effective leader the next concentric circle. Then you can

251
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: make wise political decisions about our nation the next sir. Right,

252
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: he's starting from the inside, as we shouldn't work in

253
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: his way out and this this progressive woman disgusts her. Now,

254
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: this is the best part of the clip. Right now,

255
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: this is the follow up. The host asks a question,

256
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: and this is my favorite Jordan Peterson clip of all time.

257
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Here it is person believes that the climate, the global

258
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: warming problem on the climate, is something that needs to

259
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: be tackled quickly, and they can't wait until they grow

260
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: up and become prime ministers to do it. Do you

261
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: think collective responsibility overrides individual responsibility in a huge issue

262
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: like that, No, I don't. I think the generally. I

263
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: think that generally, I think the generally people. I think

264
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: generally people have things that are more within their personal purview,

265
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: that are more difficult to deal with and that they're avoiding,

266
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: and that generally the way they avoid them miss by

267
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: adopting pseudo moralistic stances on large scale social issues so

268
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: that they look good to their friends and their neighbors.

269
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's so good. First, I just one time in

270
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: my life, I want to be able to answer the

271
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: question like he did. Would just no, No, I want

272
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: to have as much confidence and clarity in the truth.

273
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Well I can just no. All right, we gotta do this.

274
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I was going back and forth on doing this, but

275
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: I think we should do it. Next half hour, we'll

276
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: take the time. I want to talk about call Marks.

277
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Call Marks are the man right here. Everyone talk about

278
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: Marxism and the Black Lives Matter activists. They are Marxists.

279
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: They say it, they say they're trained Marxists. We're throwing

280
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: around all the time. But who was Karl Marx? The guy?

281
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Who is Karl the man? The person, the narcissist, entitled, cruel, arrogant, egomaniac,

282
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: Karl Marx. His life is entirely projecting his own insecurities

283
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: and his own entitlements, and his own desire to not

284
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: pay rent, and his own desire to not pay back

285
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: his debts. It's projecting all of that on the human race.

286
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Karl Marx is a person who is avoiding, had avoided

287
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: dealing with the difficult personal issues in his life, and instead,

288
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: as Jordan Peterson so brilliantly, but has adopted pseudo moralistic

289
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: stances on large scale social issues so that he could

290
00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: look good to his friends and neighbors. Unfortunately, he started Marxism,

291
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: which led to the death of one hundred million people.

292
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: But how much other destruction, destructive forces do we see

293
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: out there today from people who have the same issue.

294
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: How much of all of this that we're seeing today,

295
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: how much of all this is simply that, okay, we'll

296
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: do it. Next to call Marks. My name is Mike

Speaker 1: buckle up, see if we can fit this in a

304
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: few minutes we have here in this hour. When you

305
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: think of call Marks the man, how do you think

306
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: of I're here about Marxism all the time. You know,

307
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matters a Marxist group. They're Marxist organizers. You know,

308
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: we know a little bit about Marxism. But who who

309
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: was Karl Marx? I've never thought of him, to be honest,

310
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: I've never I think we've all seen the picture of him,

311
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: my bushy white hair, big giant, unkempt beard. Have you

312
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: asked me maybe a couple months ago, I would have

313
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: been like, Oh, he's like some Russian politician or something. Right,

314
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: I think Lennon Stalin Marx. I put him all on

315
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: the same category. Karl Marx was born in Germany, radicalized

316
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: in Paris, lived the rest of his life in England.

317
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with Russian And not only was he

318
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: not even a politician, he never had a job in

319
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: his entire life, which we'll get doing a second. But

320
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: I think it's important to know who this guy was

321
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: because his ideology, as a result in the death of

322
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: one hundred million people. His ideology has spawned some pretty

323
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: some bad fruit, you could say. And I think the

324
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: more you learn about him, the more it all makes sense.

325
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: So a couple of points on Karl Marx. He was entitled,

326
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: born to a wealthy family, but he was always broke,

327
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: spent all of his family's money, and kept begging for more.

328
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: He only saw his family in terms of financial transactions,

329
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: who would die next so that he could inherit more money.

330
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Eighteen fifty two he wrote about the good news of

331
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: the illness of his wife's indestructible uncle and said, if

332
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: that dog dies now, I will be out of trouble financially. Now.

333
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: This is a couple of years after. Eighteen forty nine,

334
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: his mom, who hated, gave him enough money from his

335
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: future inheritance to live comfortably for years. It lasted one year,

336
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: and this is what he said. He said, although they

337
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: are quite rich, my family has placed difficulty in my way,

338
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: which have temporarily placed me in an embarrassing situation. That

339
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: is such a telling sentence. It's always someone else's fault.

340
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: How much of that do we see today where it's

341
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: always someone else's fault? And see how it's not that

342
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: his mom took money from him. It's the not giving

343
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: him money is someone placing him in an embarrassing situation,

344
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: but putting him a burden on him. Not giving him

345
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: money is putting him is putting a burning on him,

346
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: burden on him. Not amazing. Sounds familiar with entitled people today.

347
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: Not giving me what's mine is hurting me when it's

348
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: really not even yours. Both families, his family and his

349
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: wife's family cut them both out of their lives because

350
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: of their doctrines, what they believed, and their prolonged dependencies.

351
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: Marx never had a job ever ever in his life,

352
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: never had a job. He survived entirely on allowances and

353
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: inheritances and gifts from his family and his wife's family.

354
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: In particular, his wife's family was very wealthy. He lived

355
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: in the slums of London, could barely afford rent and

356
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: most times just didn't pay rent, but it was a victim.

357
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Multiple times, could barely for groceries or bills. One of

358
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: his kids died among the squalor of his home as

359
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: an infant. Even though the money that angles his partner

360
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: in crime, who will get to an a minute here

361
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: angles gave him money and that money was enough for

362
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: a lower middle class lifestyle. He Angles gave Marx three

363
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: times the income of an unskilled worker, three times the income,

364
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: but he still lived in abject poverty. Did you see

365
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the poetry here? He never worked to day in his life,

366
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: but he was given three times the wages of an

367
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: unskilled laborer, free money for doing nothing, wasted at all.

368
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Eighteen sixty four he got an inheritance that was ten

369
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: times what he lived on annually. He was back in

370
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: debt in four years. Okay, Carl Marx was terrible with money,

371
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: as Marxists today also are. Now why did he hate capitalism?

372
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: What's obvious because he was always in debt. He had

373
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: creditors that were always hounding him. That's why he hated capitalism.

374
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: He hated any system where he had to pay people back,

375
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: and he hated any system where he owed someone rent.

376
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: All right, he wanted everything to be free always. Is

377
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: there any surprise that the guy who hated paying people

378
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: back and never paid his rent and was evicted from

379
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: multiple apartment in multiple countries hated capitalism and landlords. Now

380
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I say he hated capitalism, but he didn't really. His

381
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: partner in crime, Friedrich Angles, he hated his dad, But

382
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: his dad owned factories, a couple of factories in different countries,

383
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: and Angles worked as a manager at one of those factories.

384
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: And it was from that money Angles bankrolled all of

385
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: Marx's writings. So think about that, Marks's writings about tearing

386
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: down capitalism. We're paid for by capitalism by a capitalist

387
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: Angles his dad. But that hypocrisy shouldn't be surprising easier either.

388
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: It's true today among his followers as well. Right, and

389
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: how many of the progressives markisday like I'm gonna write

390
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: about how terrible capitalism is on my Apple laptop in

391
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Starbucks with free Wi Fi on daddy's dime. So Angles

392
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: he never really worked to day, It's like either he

393
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: was a spoiled owner's son, never were just collected his check.

394
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: He called his job forced labor. Obviously had no idea

395
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: yet what forced labor would come to mean in the

396
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: communist countries that used Marxism as their foundation. Isn't that

397
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: that's like a haunting. He called his cushy job as

398
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: the owner's son that he never really really worked at.

399
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: He called that forced labor. And the philosophy these guys

400
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: came up was that then used to create countries that

401
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: used actual forced labor. Amazing. Marx was never grateful. It

402
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: was just a narcissist, egomaniac, zero sympathy for other people.

403
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: He had no friends. He was never invited to any

404
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: academic anything. That's another thing. I think I had the

405
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: suppression that he was like this, like a like renowned academic. No,

406
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: he was virtually unknown in his lifetime, never like the great,

407
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: the truly great intellectuals at his time, never never wrote

408
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: about him, never met with him, never nothing. Thomas Soul

409
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: in his book Marxism called him a demonic personality. He

410
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: was in Paris, and that's when he began to meet

411
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: with other radicals and really started his writings. One radical

412
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: in the group called it a crowd. He had a

413
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: falling out with this group. He called it a crowd

414
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: of godless self appointed gods, godless self appointed gods. These

415
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: are some quotes from fellow revolutionaries of his. And these

416
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: weren't critics. Again, there weren't not critics. No one knew him,

417
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: But these are fellow revolutionaries. If his call Marks, if

418
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: call Marks's heart had matched his intellect, and his heart

419
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: had as much love as hate, I would have watched

420
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: through fire with him, but a most dangerous personal damnation

421
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: has eaten away all the good in him. Here's another one.

422
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: Never I've never seen a man whose bearing was so

423
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: provoking and intolerable to no opinion that was different from his.

424
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: Did he give an honor of even a condescending consideration.

425
00:26:55,080 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: How the Marxist today followed this to a t. Everyone

426
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: who contradicted him he treated with abject contempt. That's cancel culture.

427
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Every opinion he did not like, he answered with either

428
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: biting scorn at the unfathomable ignorance that had prompted it,

429
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: or with a spersion on the motives of him who

430
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: had advanced it. Exact same of his followers today. He

431
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: would glare at anyone who challenged his opinion, and he

432
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: would say, I will annihilate you. So that's Carl Marx.

433
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: We'll bring it to today. Coming up next, Mike Slater

434
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: filling in for the great Buck Sexton on the Buck

435
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Spread the word You're in the freedom, Hud.

436
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Hello, Mike Slater

437
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: filling in for Buck Sexton today. Buck will be back tomorrow.

438
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: We just spent nine minutes talking about Karl Marks the

439
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: man who he was, a little bit of his biography,

440
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: and I hope it's just glaring, glaringly obvious to you,

441
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 1: as it is to me that everything that the super

442
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: woke left Marxists are today fits in line perfectly with

443
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Karl Marx the person today, entitled narcissist, dicky gomaniacs, looking

444
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: for excuses to blame others for their misfortunes that seemed

445
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: to just follow them everywhere they go when not given money. Oh,

446
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: that's a tool of oppression used against me by my family,

447
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: who I wish would just die so I can get

448
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: my inheritance. Already wasteful of other people, of other people's money,

449
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: impossible to work with and get along with, callous, lacking

450
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: complete empathy for others, almost cruel angles. When his mistress died,

451
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: he wrote him a letter that was so bitingly cruel

452
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: angles roll back and like like, what's your problem? And

453
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: that was almost the end of their relationship. Marx was

454
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: callous when his own children died. Three of his children

455
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: died in infancy and one at the age of eight.

456
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: And there's an asterisk to that, but you'll get to

457
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: in a second. Just just no regard for them. He

458
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: never finished any product. You know, people talk about dos

459
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Capital that was like his grand work, three three volumes.

460
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Angles put that together ten years after Marx died. Or

461
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Marks finished the first volume and took another ten years

462
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: before Angles could scrap together all of Marx's notes to

463
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: put together the next two. But Marks never finished any project.

464
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't even that he was a procrastinaty. He it

465
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: was way more pathological than that. And on top of that, Marks,

466
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: these both of them were flaming racists, which the Black

467
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Lives Matter activist start today as well. Not to mention

468
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: anti semits, but just one example that Marx's son in

469
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: law was running for a city council seat in Paris

470
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: and in this district, well letis says, so son in

471
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: law was running for this seat. His son in law

472
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: was part black or whatever we're supposed to sit at,

473
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: and Angles sorry, in this district that he was running

474
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: for had the zoo. The zoo, the pair of zoo

475
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: was there. So Angles wrote to Marks being in his

476
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: quality as a n word, a degree nearer to the

477
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us.

478
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: He is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.

479
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Good night. That don't get anyone else canceled, but not Angles,

480
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: not Marks. Now I should note this as well. Throughout

481
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: all of his self imposed poverty, he did have a

482
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: maid who lived with him. He never paid her, never

483
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: paid her a penny. He did, though, get her pregnant.

484
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: She the maid, lived in the home with his wife

485
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: obviously too, got her pregnant. Hit her pregnancy when you couldn't,

486
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: when they couldn't hide it anymore. He blamed Angles. Angles

487
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: was this big woman isiser, so he took the fall.

488
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: Marx forced his maid to give the child up to

489
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: another family. And this boy was allowed to visit his

490
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: mother from time to that. Freddie was his name. He

491
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: was allowed to visit his mother, but he had to

492
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: come through the back door. Only Karl Marx never saw

493
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: him once, never saw him. Abandoned his own son. The

494
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: father of the Revolution abandoned his own son. No different

495
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: though than Rousseau. I'll just share the very short of

496
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Rousseau here because I got to run. But Jean Jacques Rousseau,

497
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: the father of the French Revolution, which is not something

498
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: you'd want to be known as the father of probably

499
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: the most influential philosopher and how we educate our children

500
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: today and how we view our children today. A very

501
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: romantic concept, but enough time to go into that. But anyway,

502
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: super influential guy. He had five children. Every he was

503
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: a horrible person, but the worst made Carl Marx look

504
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: like a saint. Had five children, and he forced his

505
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: wife to abandon every single one of them off at

506
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: the local orphanage. At this orphanage at that time, seventeen

507
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: two thirds of them died within the first year. Only

508
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I think seven or fourteen percent made it to adulthood,

509
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: and even though it were just beggars for the rest

510
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: of the life. So that's the guy. We're taking child

511
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: rearing advice from the guy who abandoned all five of

512
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: his kids at the local orphanage. We're gonna we're gonna

513
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: model our education system based off of his writings. That guy.

514
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Marx. We're gonna volve that

515
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: guy's advice. I haven't even gotten to Mars and how

516
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: miserable his wife was. Marx wrote to Angles that, as

517
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: she said, he said, every day he tells me she

518
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: wishes she were in her grave. Why would you? Why

519
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: would we ever follow this guy for anything. He's a

520
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: terrible person, and amazingly his ideas are even worse. It's

521
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: got one hundred million deaths to show for it. But

522
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: it explains everything today. And this is it, and this

523
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: is why when everyone says, oh, this is Marxists, and

524
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: this is what it is the communist manifesto, he says,

525
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: the history of all hitherto existing society is the history

526
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: of class struggles. Freemen and slave, patrician and pleban, lord

527
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: and serf, guildmaster and journeyman. In a word, there it

528
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: is oppressor and depressed, who stand in constant opposition to

529
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: one another. Everything is a battle between the oppressors and

530
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: the oppressed, everything, every relationship. So what the postmodernist did,

531
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about this the next hour, is

532
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: they took just from a class perspective that Marks didn't

533
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: put it in everything man verse woman, battle, straight verse, gay,

534
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: sisgendered versus transgendered, black verse white. Everything is seen as

535
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: a battle, but a parent versus child, teacher and student.

536
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: Everything's a battle, where Mark said, and Marx actually didn't

537
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: say this. Almost all of Marks's famous lines he stole

538
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: from other people. One of them is working men of

539
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: all countries unite. He didn't actually say that, or he

540
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: didn't say it first, but working men of all countries unite.

541
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: Today it's all the oppressed people of America unite. What

542
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: a sad way to view the world. But of course

543
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: it was picked up. Of course it's spread people like

544
00:34:53,160 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Karl Marx, bitter, angry losers find great appeal in blaming

545
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: others for their problems. Coming up next, I want to

546
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: talk about the Marxist takeover of your kids math class

547
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: K through twelve. This is not even like well, one

548
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: day maybe they will. They're gonna look at a specific

549
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: K through twelve curriculum, curricula and textbooks to prove this point,

550
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: and also this postmodern aspect of it. Well, what is math?

551
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: You say two plus two weekals four? But what are numbers?

552
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: We'll do that next. I'm Mike Slater filling in for

553
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: the great Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. Spread

554
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,320

00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: the freedom Hut. Mike Slater from San Diego filling in

559
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: for the Great Buck Sexton Buckle Beer tomorrow, Buck can

560
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: I have work together for years and years years. I'm

561
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: super grateful for him, just him in general period, and

562
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: then for him letting me be here with you today.

563
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: So thank you. Let's talk. So we just finished up

564
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: a half hour talking about Karl Marx at Marxism, but

565
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: specifically Karl marks the man. I want to take that

566
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: and talk about education, our education systems. Then. I don't

567
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: mean to be rude. I mean we just met and all.

568
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: But if you're sending your kids to public school, you're

569
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: out of your mind. I don't know a worse place

570
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: to drop your kids off for six plus hours a day.

571
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: It's one thing if they just didn't do a good

572
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: job teaching your kids like that was my public school experience.

573
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: I went to a good public school, didn't learn a thing. Fine,

574
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: But now the entire system is actively teaching your kids

575
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: Marxism and it's infused in everything. And that's the point

576
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to prove here. And after you hear this,

577
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: you can decide if this is if that's okay with you,

578
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: and then by all men, if you think it is,

579
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: by all means, drop your kids off at this building.

580
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: I want to talk about math. I think we can

581
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: all see how the left. We can understand how and

582
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: why the left would want to take over and rewrite history.

583
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: That's the sixteen nineteen project. How the left can you know,

584
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: teach Kanzi and economics and stuff like that, but math?

585
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: How can the left takeover math? Class? It's two plus

586
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: two eekals four. Where's their room for Marxism? Well, it's

587
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: actually two ways, So we're gonna split out this hour

588
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: in the two different branches here. Two ways that the

589
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: left takes over math. First is Marxism and then the

590
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: second is postmodernism. So let's start with Marxism here. First.

591
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you a little example. This. This is a

592
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: nice on the Street interview, Man on the Street interview

593
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: with two young teachers. Clip three. So I was a

594
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: seventh grade Civics teacher, government teacher, and she is an

595
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: elementary school teacher. What year did we get our independence?

596
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: Seventeen something. We're teachers. I actually don't teach what's in

597
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: our curriculum. I'm teaching children social studies. That's not in

598
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: our curriculum. Teaching them things about how to be an

599
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: anti racist. I taught them about protesting. I taught them

600
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: about black lives matter, don't I don't know when they

601
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: don't know when the country was common Now, she says,

602
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: she teaches off curriculum, and a lot of them do.

603
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: But there's also a curriculum for this. It's called ethnic studies.

604
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: Just writ in my local newspaper, the San Diego Union Tribune.

605
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: This is a student. She's now at Stanford, but when

606
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: she was a sophomore, she started an ethnic studies class

607
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: in her school here in San Diego. And she just

608
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: wrote this. She said, Eurocentric curriculum and colonized classroom structures.

609
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: That's where the teachers. The last segment we talked about

610
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: appresser versus oppressed. Every single dynamic is oppressed for suppressor

611
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: or oppressor for suppressed, and even teacher student. So that

612
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: is a colonized classroom structure where the teachers in charge

613
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: and the student is, from my perspective, by definition, ignorant

614
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: of what we're learning. Right, But you gotta flip around.

615
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: That's called that's just your colonized thing. You gotta decolonize

616
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: your mind, man, And these colonized classroom structures perpetuate racism

617
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: and generations of young people of color. Schooling that erases

618
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: the perspectives of our communities is a product of institutional racism, colonialism,

619
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: and white supremacy. There's your ethnic studies right there. Now

620
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: again history class. I get it, But how is it

621
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: possible in math? So there's a textbook called Rethinking Mathematics

622
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: Teaching Social Justice by the Numbers. So this book calls

623
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 1: out I'm only quoting from the book, calls out traditional

624
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: math instruction as quote immoral in a world as unjust

625
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: as ours. Traditional math is said to be bad for

626
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: students and bad for society. And you think, what could

627
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: possibly be wrong? What's so problematic with traditional math? Well,

628
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: one is the curriculums fetish their word, fetish for the

629
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: right answer, right answers, and scare quotes in the textbook

630
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: right answer math problems with clear cut solution. Clear cut

631
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: solutions give a false picture of how mathematics can help

632
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: us in the real world. Traditional math, where it's fetish

633
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: for the right answer and obsession with clear cut solutions,

634
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: is said to be a white man's thing. So the

635
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: first branch of how they've taken over. Math is to

636
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: infuse Marxism into the math class. So we have math,

637
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: but well, here are the chapters home Buying while Brown

638
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: or Black. In this chapter, kids are are to develop

639
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: an understanding of the socio political, cultural, economic, and historical

640
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: dynamics of racism, along with their interconnections, and appreciate the

641
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: complexity of different forms of racism structural, institutional, and individual. Again,

642
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: Math class, Living Algebra, Living wage one section, I Can't

643
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Survive on eight twenty seven using math to investigate minimum

644
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: wage CEO pay. So you know that's just going to

645
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: be all about income inequality. Another chapter sweatshop accounting when

646
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: equal isn't fair, racism and stop and frisk. The square

647
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: root of a fair share And this is your kids

648
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: math call the square root of a fair share the

649
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: geometry of inequality. That chapter is all about redlining, plotting, inequality,

650
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: building resistance. I don't even know. Here's a math maps

651
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: and misrepresentation, myth misrepresentation. Here's a teaching suggestion map of

652
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: territory that Mexico lost to the United States. Okay, so

653
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: we're going to study math by calculating the area of

654
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: land that the white man stole from Mexico. So you

655
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: see how they infuse Marxism in here's all. Here's student,

656
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: here's America. But here's the land that the white man

657
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: stole from Mexico. Let's calculate. Let's use math to calculate

658
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: that land. Massie, this is a good one. This one's

659
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: called write the truth. Presidents and slaves. This whole math

660
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: chapter is about you're supposed to calculate the percentage of

661
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: our presidents who are slave owners. So there's the infusion

662
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: of social justice into math class. It's not teaching math

663
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: for its own sake. It's not teaching math for how

664
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: to build a bridge or calculate a physics equation, or

665
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: use math to understand the golden mean that was used

666
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: to build the parth An. It's about racism and minimum

667
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: wage and unions and our capitalism is terrible, and how

668
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: the white man stole Mexico. Now here's the kick or

669
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing. After every lesson we'll give me. But

670
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: here's one. So one lesson is every student gets a

671
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: map of the world and twenty five chips, and the

672
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: kid is supposed to distribute the chips based on what

673
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: you think the population distribution of the world is, so

674
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna put more chips on China and India and

675
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And then they would the teacher would

676
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: show you what the real distribution of people, and then

677
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the kids again to distribute the chips based on how

678
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: they feel the GDP distribution is around the world. And

679
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: then you calculate, you look at what it really is, right,

680
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: and you put all that together. And then at the

681
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: end here it is write an essay on how this

682
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: makes you feel? How it makes you feel now, because

683
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: the written word is a white man's master's tool against

684
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: the oppressed, and we need to decolonize grammar, which is

685
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: something we'll talk about later. You instead of writing an

686
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: essay because that's racist, you can also make a poster

687
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: about how this makes you feel. I'll tell if this

688
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: was an option when I was in high school, I

689
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: would be the king of posters. I would have never

690
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: written and essay in my entire life. I can't even

691
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: fathom my calculus class making a poster about how calculus

692
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: makes me feel. So here's that one lesson brings students

693
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: back together for whole class discussion. Have each group share

694
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: their posters and perspectives, connect their emotions and feelings of

695
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: fairness to the information on the chart questions should wealth

696
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: be distributed equally? Who do you think decides how wealth

697
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: is distributed? Our gantee is not gonna be any teacher

698
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: who's going to be there and say, oh, when capitalism,

699
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: no one decides how wealth is distributed. How does the

700
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: unequal distribution of wealth affect the power that groups of

701
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: people hold? Again, to the left, the Marxists, it's always

702
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: about power. Ask them what role they think colonialism has

703
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: played in creating this inequality. So again, it's always the

704
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: white man's fault, even in math class. But here's my

705
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: big takeaway math class. You're supposed to kids leave math

706
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: with a feeling that things are unfair, that the system

707
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: is unfair, that the rich are exploiting their power or

708
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: exploiting the poor among nations and within America. And it's

709
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: all about feelings. And of course it's about feelings because

710
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: in the postmodern world there is no reason or logic

711
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: or even reality at all. In a postmodern world, where

712
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: as you saw the Smithsonian said, rational, objective linear thinking

713
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: is a characteristic of white supremacy and white culture. So

714
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: if you don't have that, what are you left with

715
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: your feelings. That's it, even in math class. So that's

716
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: the Marxism. Let's bring in the postmodernism next for the

717
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: one two punch, Mike Slader filling in for Buck Sexton's

718
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Spread the word You're in the Freedom

719
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: d This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast Elderders. Mike

720
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: Slader filling in for the great Buck Sexton. Thanks to

721
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: Buck for lett me feel and he'll be back in tomorrow.

722
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: So we're talking about education. We're talking about math class specifically,

723
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: and how the left is taking over math class to

724
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: destroy from within. They're doing it two different ways, first

725
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: infusing Marxism into the classroom, which we just talked about,

726
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: and then also postmodernism, which is much more of what

727
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: is what are numbers? Who's really So you see the

728
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: difference between the two. So mark the first part the

729
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: Marxism branches. Let's calculate the percentage of presidents who owned slaves?

730
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: How does that make you feel? And then postmodernism is

731
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: what are numbers? And addition and yeah, no, this is

732
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: just your experience in one way that you can interpret them.

733
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: So you put both those things together and you're like,

734
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: what what what but that's all you got. All you

735
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: got is the feels. How do you feel about this?

736
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as reason or logical objective truth.

737
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: So math class is all about your feeling. Let me

738
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: focus on that. I want to save the postmodern and

739
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: postmodern aspect for the next segment. I want to have

740
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: time to really dive deep into that. But let's talk

741
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: about this feeling thing. So there's a billion examples of this,

742
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: but Vermont Law School, it's like a week or so

743
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: aga Vermont Law School, they have a mural highlighting the

744
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: state's role of during the Underground Railroad and the Abolition movement,

745
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: which is great, it's a wonderful thing to celebrate and

746
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: to have a mural about. But people objected. They wanted

747
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: it down because it made them feel uncomfortable. Now, one

748
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: of the things we say on the top of my

749
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,959
Speaker 1: show is you can't tell the difference between a woke

750
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: person and a clan member. Can't tell the difference, And

751
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: this is a perfect example of that. Right, you would

752
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: think a clan member would look at a mural about

753
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: the Abolition movement and the Underground Railroad and say, oh,

754
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: that makes me feel uncomfortable. But it's not. It's a

755
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: woke Black Lives Matter activist who looks at it and

756
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: says it makes them feel uncofortable. They're the same on

757
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: how that works. So the mural was painted in nineteen

758
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: eighty three. Obviously the school signed off on it. Here's

759
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: the head of the school, more than twenty five years ago.

760
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: The mural was offered to and accepted by the school

761
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: with the intention of honoring African Americans. But but however,

762
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: the depictions of the African Americans on the mural are

763
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 1: offensive to many in our community, and upon reflection and consultation,

764
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: we have determined that the mural is not consistent with

765
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: our school's commitment to fairness, inclusion, diversity, and social justice. Accordingly,

766
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 1: we have decided to paint over the mural. It's amazing

767
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: people caving to these fools. There's a ton we could

768
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: focus on there, but I just want to focus on

769
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: the the feels. Actually, got I got admit to this.

770
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: We gott a minute. Yeah, yeah, So diversity, inclusion and

771
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: equity A quick sidebar here your honor. Diversity inclusion, equity

772
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: die statements to hear your work and many other companies

773
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: talking about their commitment to diversity and clusion, equity. In

774
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: woke speak, every single one of these is the opposite

775
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: of what you think they are and what they've always been.

776
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: So diversity, to you and me, it means a people

777
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: from different backgrounds or different experiences and perspectives and viewpoints

778
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: all coming together in a group. That's diversity. That's great.

779
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: To the woke left, diversity means people coming from a

780
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: variety of oppressed groups who have a uniformity of opinion,

781
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: a uniformity of worldview, and that's the Marxist worldview. So

782
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: it's not diversity. It's not diversity, it's uniformity. It's the

783
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: opposite inclusion. We think inclusion means welcoming, but the left

784
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: says that it's welcoming, but not if you have particular opinions,

785
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: which happen to be your opinions and bucks opinions and

786
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: my opinions. So far from being inclusive, it's actually exclusive.

787
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: It's the opposite. And then equity is not equality of opportunity,

788
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: which we think it is. It's equality of outcome, which

789
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: is the opposite of equity. It's actually discrimination. So diversity

790
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: inclusion equity actually means uniformity, exclusion, and discrimination. Minor detail. Anyway,

791
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: here's an example of feeling. So people feel like we

792
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: have just this massive mass incarceration problem in America. There's

793
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,959
Speaker 1: a perception of mass incarceration and it makes people feel bad.

794
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: And people will say, you know, half of prisoners are

795
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: minor non violent drug charges. That's what you always hear

796
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: and say half of prisoners. What they really mean to

797
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: say is half of federal prisoners are on drug charges,

798
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: are in jail and joy charget and we could address

799
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: that right. There's definitely room for talk there. But what

800
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: they don't tell you and what they won't tell you

801
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: in these ethnic studies classes or math class although this

802
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: would be something good to study in math, is Federal

803
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: inmates only make up twelve percent of America's prisoners, so

804
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: half of twelve percent is not a lot among these

805
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: Most prisoners are in state prisons. Among those prisoners, drug

806
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: offenses are only fifteen percent, So who makes up the

807
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: rest of the prison While murderers are fourteen percent, rape

808
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: or assault sexual assault is thirteen percent, robberies thirteen percent,

809
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: aggravated or simple assaults ten percent, burglaries ten percent, So

810
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: drug is right there with everything. Forty five percent of

811
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: those in state prisons for Drugger there for less than

812
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: a year. And even among those fifteen percent, almost all

813
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: of them are there for worse things. They just took

814
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: a plea bargain and got the more serious charges dropped

815
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: as a part of the negotiation. Right, So they got

816
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: arrested for five serious things and a drug charge, and

817
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: they just took the drug charge as just a plea deal.

818
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: So now it says they're in jail for non violent

819
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: drug related but that's not They're there for much more

820
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: serious things, or they did much more serious things to

821
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: get them arrested in the first place. Also, don't equate

822
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: drug charges with non violent people. Put those two things together.

823
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: But three quarters seventy five percent of released drug offenders

824
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: are re arrested for a non drug crime later. And

825
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: in Baltimore in twenty seventeen, there were one hundred and

826
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: eighteen homicide suspects. One hundred eighteen suspects in Baltimore. Seventy

827
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: percent of them had previously been arrested on drug charges,

828
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: and they were also arrested to other charges as well,

829
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: even though they plied down right, So there's no surprise

830
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: that these people are also verily violent, and there's actually

831
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: quite a bit of math there, understanding numbers and percentages

832
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: and you know what's what's half of fourteen percent or right?

833
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: But we're not teaching math. We're not teaching kids how

834
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: to interpret these numbers and this data objectively and dispassionately.

835
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: In fact, again, rational, nonlinear, objective thinking and obsession with

836
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: data are all aspects of a white supremacist culture. Instead,

837
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: we're pumping kids on how evil the white man is,

838
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: how terrible America is, and how does that make you feel? All.

839
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: I want to come back and we'll get to the

840
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: postmodern partner. Okay, so Marxism. I think you see the

841
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: infusion of Marxism in math class. But now postmodernism is

842
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: is what? What is? What is math? And I got

843
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: I'll say, well, we'll come back. I'll play a video

844
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: just to prove that this is the real thing, because

845
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: it's so unfathomable we can't even like, like, what are

846
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: you talking about? Slader. I'll play video from Public School,

847
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: New York City K through five that this is from

848
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: their promotional video. It's like come to our school, like

849
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: how great our school is, and they talk about postmodern math.

850
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: I'll prove that next Moneame is Mike Slader filling in

851
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: for the Great Buck Sexton. Buck Sexton Show. Spread the word.

855
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: filling in for the Great Buck Sexton here in the

856
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. Thanks Buck for letting me let me hang out.

857
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about Marxism. We went through a whole biography

858
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 1: of Karl Marx in the first hour, so we're taking

859
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: that Marxism. In the last half hour, we talked about

860
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 1: how they've confused Marxism into math class and now we

861
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about the second pillar for the second

862
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: approach they're taking to tear down the pillar, I should

863
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: say of math, and that is postmodernism. So Marxism is,

864
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: let's calculate the percentage of presidents who owned slaves and

865
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: aren't as an America. Such a terrible, awful, horrible plays

866
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: in math class. How does that make you feel? Postmodernism

867
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: is what our numbers? And who are you even to

868
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: say what the right answer is? Blah blah. That's so

869
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: this is a new York City Public School PS sixty

870
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: three is a K through five school sit back and

871
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: weep BSI creates has been an amazing opportunity for our

872
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: school to have time dedicated to come together to talk

873
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,479
Speaker 1: about how do we create anti racist schools. I see

874
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: teaching as a very political act. When we are engaging

875
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: with our students, whether it's on social justice issues or

876
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: multicultural issues or culturally relevant teaching, I see that as

877
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 1: foundational to all learning. We are learning a lot about

878
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: like different issues in this world and like what's happening

879
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: around Like we're mostly thinking about like racial and culture

880
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: in my class and how we could have changed the future.

881
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: We have all of these different people that are activists.

882
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: We have gay people, we have transgender people, and we

883
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: have people that are taking action, and we're learning how

884
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: to take action in social studies. Now we've seen our

885
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: students become empowered. We've seen them see that, even at

886
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: the age of four, that they can take an active

887
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: role in the activists. And so it's through this work

888
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: that we realize that education without this conversation isn't going

889
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: to make it different. Learning how to take action at

890
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 1: the age of four. How about that poor little girl.

891
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: Again it's K through five. So oh the in fifth

892
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: grade ten was eight nine year old saying we have

893
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 1: gay people and transgendered people in the classroom. We don't

894
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: have to go into it now. But one of the

895
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: again cultural Marxists view everything is a power dynamic between

896
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: the oppressors and the oppressed, even parents and kids. Parents

897
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: are the oppressors, kids are the oppressed. So one of

898
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: the ways that they're destroying our culture is by inverting that.

899
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: And one way they do that is by destroying the

900
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: innocence of childhood. And one way they do that is

901
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: drag Queen Story Hour and having drag queens come and

902
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: speak to them about activism, stuff like that to eight

903
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: year olds and younger surely right, So that way the

904
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: kids can go back and scold the parents for not

905
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: being woke enough, and that give more power to the

906
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: children and upends the dynamic, the oppressive relationship between parenta anyway,

907
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: that's the root behind all that. Did you see the

908
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: Netflix show Babysitters Club Season one, Episode four. Babysitters Club

909
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: one is like for like thirteen year old girls or whatever,

910
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: and one of the whole episodes is about like a

911
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: little eight year old boy is now a girl and

912
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: she's in the hospital and the thirteen year old so

913
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: the doctor nurse comes in and refer to her as

914
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: a boy, and she's really a girl now. So the

915
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: babysitters excuse me, can I talk to you two outside?

916
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: And walks outside and scolds the two adults for not

917
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: being woke enough and understanding. If you could just use

918
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,959
Speaker 1: your eyes and your heart, you would see that little

919
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: Bailey is actually a girl because adults don't understand kids

920
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: do kids are super woke? Greta Thunburn, etc. Funburg Anyway,

921
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: where are we yea activism at the age of four?

922
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: Can we This is a video of someone talking to

923
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: antist epistemological justice college student and this is amazing. This

924
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: is postmodernism in a nutshell right here. He could not

925
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: come up with a better video to prove this, and

926
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: he asks the student here it gives her a box

927
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: of tic TACs and said, can you know if there

928
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: are an even or an odd number of tic TACs

929
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: in this box? Now? You or I would say yes,

930
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: you count them, But it's not that simple, you see,

931
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: It's not that simple in a postmodern world. Here's what

932
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: she says. Five how would you go about solving that

933
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: question whether the total number of pieces in this box

934
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: is either even or odd? Would you agree that it's

935
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: one or the other. I know I wouldn't, because again,

936
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: you're operating for different understandings. You can count them, We

937
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: can count them as we know numbers to exist in

938
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: a sequence. We could count those and say there are

939
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: definitely thirty five pieces in there. Okay. Great. In the

940
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: Aztecs had the niple Won seat scene, which is an

941
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: entirely different, entirely different understanding of how numbers work, that

942
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: would go. It's almost like two advanced. I don't even

943
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: get it. Ah. But the nepal Wan set scene. How

944
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: racist of you to I'm not considered the nepon Zeen scene.

945
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: You say there's thirty five tic TACs in that container?

946
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: But what about what would the Aztecs say? Huh? What

947
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: would they say? Would there nepal Wan scene scene? Go ahead,

948
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: try that to your boss when you get your paycheck.

949
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me, boss, I'm sorry, I M it seems here

950
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: that you counted the hours I worked this week using

951
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: your white, colonial, eurocentric numbers. But according to the Aztec

952
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Napeuan scene scene and my understanding of numbers. I worked

953
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: twenty hours of overtime, so I'm just gonna go ahead

954
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: and need that extra twenty hours. And if your boss

955
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,439
Speaker 1: is wise and not caving to the woke demands, he'll

956
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: be sure to come back and say, oh, okay, fine,

957
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: then you're pay This quarter is a one million napeuan

958
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: scene scenes, which would say's exchange rate is zero dollars.

959
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: So feel free to come back next week. I'll pay you.

960
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: You know what, you get a raise two million napeuant

961
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: scene scene, and you can see how the numbers break down,

962
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: or the whole system breaks down. I should say, no,

963
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: this is not like oh, one day, like here's here's

964
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: a crazy here's one crazy college student. We found that.

965
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: This is the point I want to make. I know,

966
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: it seems so unbelievable, like it's unfathomable to you. So

967
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: it's like I'll find Slater filling it for buck. Here

968
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: found one late one girl who's crazy talpe. No, no, no, no, no,

969
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: this is not a thing. Later, this is a thing

970
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: right now. This is the Seattle Public Schools K through

971
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: twelve Math Ethnic Studies Framework. This is from the government website.

972
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: This is the curriculum in thousands of schools across the country.

973
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: So let me read it a little bit from here.

974
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Power and oppression, as defined by ethnic studies are the

975
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: ways in which individuals and groups define mathematical knowledge so

976
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: as to see Western mathematics as the only legitimate expression

977
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: of mathematical identity and intelligence. That's your counting of the

978
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: tic TACs, that's your Western mathematics. This definition of legitimacy

979
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: is then used to disenfranchise people and communities of color,

980
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: like those who count in Napawatsne scenes. This erases the

981
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: historical contributions of people and communities of color. That is

982
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: so so ridiculous. Tell that to Catherine john of Nassi.

983
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: You've seen the movie of course, Hidden Figures. You have

984
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: to about her and other black female computers, mathematicians they

985
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: literally computed, they were computers. Tell them that math disenfranchised them.

986
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: That's what it says, like Western math erases the historical

987
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: contributions of people communities of color. Far from math disenfranchising

988
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: Katherine Johnson, math empowered her. It didn't disenfranchise her. It

989
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: empowered her to play a fundamental role in getting us

990
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: to the moon, and therefore the history how sad is

991
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: it's to tell black kids, Oh, you can't know this,

992
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: you can't know this, this is a white man's thing,

993
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: and actually counting and twoplestuticals for that's that disenfranchises you

994
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to Hey, here's some amazing black mathematter, just mathematicians.

995
01:02:53,720 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Let's use this knowledge to get ahead of life. Students

996
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: will be able to identify how math has been, has been,

997
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,959
Speaker 1: and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people

998
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: in communities of color. Here are some questions, did you do?

999
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: What is my mathematical identity? Is there an authority from

1000
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: math knowledge? This is seattle? How important is it to

1001
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: be right? What is right? Says who? Who holds the

1002
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: power in a mathematical classroom? Again, that's the teacher student

1003
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: oppression oppression system. Is there a place for power and

1004
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: authority in the math classroom? Who gets to say if

1005
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: an answer is right? How does data driven processes prevent

1006
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: a liberation? Who is doing the oppressing? That's a great point.

1007
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: I assumes it's happening, right. How can we use math

1008
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: to measure the impact of activism? Everyone's an activist, even

1009
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: eight year olds, even four year old? How can we

1010
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: change mathematics from individualistic to collectivists, thinking, I mean, this

1011
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: is right there, like I'm not. This is right now.

1012
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: This isn't some dystopian future. If we keep going down

1013
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: this path, then things will get this bad. This is

1014
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: right now. This is the approved curriculum at the Seattle

1015
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: School District and thousands of others across the country. You

1016
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: drop your kids off at this place, then they're going

1017
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: to math class. They're not. They're getting much more than that.

1018
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Where did this come from? And what do we do

1019
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: talk about that? Next? You're in the Freedom Hunt. This

1020
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Etclider Conside is Mike

1021
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Slater filling in for Buck Sexton. I host Afternoons in

1022
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: San Diego. So what we're talking about this postmodern math

1023
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: and Marxist math and all this stuff. Where did this

1024
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: come from? I got five minutes I'll explaining here. It's

1025
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: called deconstruction. You'll hear this a lot. You'll hear people

1026
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: activists say we need to disrupt or disturb or deconstruct

1027
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: the system or whatever. So deconstruction comes from this philosopher

1028
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: back in the sixties. His name is Jacques Derrida. I'm

1029
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: giving it eight like the best most grace filled interpretation

1030
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: ever of his definition of deconstruction. But the objective is

1031
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: to break something down to its individual parts so that

1032
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: you can understand it at a better level. Right, So

1033
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: tear it down to its individual parts so that you

1034
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: can deeper, understand, more deeply understanding. Example would be your car.

1035
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: You have a car. I own a car. I don't

1036
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: really know how it works. But if I broke it

1037
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: down and someone helped me put it back together, I

1038
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: would have a much deeper understanding of how the car works.

1039
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: You can do with everything, like George Washington. We have

1040
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: a concept of George Washington. But if you broke down

1041
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: George Washington into his individual parts, and you know his

1042
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: experiences and his childhood and his dad dying and the

1043
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: family would sort of adopted him and all these different things,

1044
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: then you would have a deeper and you put it

1045
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: back together, you would have a more full understanding of

1046
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: George Washington. The problem with postmodernists is that they taken

1047
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: this idea of deconstruction and they break things down to

1048
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: their individual parts, not to provide more clarity, but to

1049
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: make things more confusing and therefore unknowable. What is math?

1050
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: So they muddy the waters and they confuse people so

1051
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: they can come in and say, wow, that's just your understanding.

1052
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: So who is even really to know. Let's place the

1053
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: next clip here, Mark. So one minute and nine seconds

1054
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: after she was asked, can you determine if there's an

1055
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: even or an odd number of candies in this box? Okay?

1056
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: A minute and nine seconds after talking about nape one

1057
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: scene scene and it's your understanding and who can really know?

1058
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Blah blah. She says, this is to bring this to

1059
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: your definition of the word truth. Then how would you

1060
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: how would you look at this box of candies? It's

1061
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: understandings of experience. It's understandings, Yeah, it's understandings as experiences

1062
01:06:54,040 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: from perspectives like it's not is it true that the

1063
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: Europeans deinely conquers this land? Yes? Is it true that

1064
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: they they came into Mexican territory and completely disregarded a treaty. Yes,

1065
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: those things are true, but that's not the truth that

1066
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: we're taught in school. So you can ask any you know,

1067
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: anyone who's not into these critical studies. What we know

1068
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: as truth is not true. It was it's their narrative.

1069
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Amazing right, So of course the hypocrisy of well, her

1070
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: version of history is true, so truth exists for her

1071
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: but for no one else. All right, So the white

1072
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: man stole Mexican land, that's definitely true, but nothing you

1073
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: know or could ever say it is true? But why

1074
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: is she even bringing this up? Right? Like? Why is

1075
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: she talking about? Like she was asked about this is

1076
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: super important. She was asked, how many can you even

1077
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: know if there's an even or an odd number of

1078
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: tic TACs in this box? And a minute and nine

1079
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: seconds later she's talking about white people stealing land from Mexico? What?

1080
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: What do you? Why? How can she? Why would she

1081
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: move from a very simple, clear and objective question how

1082
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: many candies are in this box and then talk about

1083
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: something that's way more complex and dynamic and like civilization

1084
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: verse civilization? Why are you? Why is she doing this

1085
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: like huge, vague and complicated Why? Because if she can

1086
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: take it from something simple and clear and turn it

1087
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: into this big, massive, vague, complicated thing, she can then

1088
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: make the claim, well, you know, does truth even exist?

1089
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Who's now to say how many pieces of candy are

1090
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 1: in that box? So it's not an actual argument, it's

1091
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 1: a trick to try to win an argument, makes something super,

1092
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: to deconstruct it to big, make it big or vague,

1093
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: more complex, more way, more than it even needs to be,

1094
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: just so you can insert muddy the waters, just so

1095
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: you can insert enough confusion into it and you can say, well,

1096
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, who's really to know? And people are falling

1097
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 1: for it. Modern arts a perfect example of this. We

1098
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 1: have centuries of beautiful art, right like things like David

1099
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 1: and Michaelangelo Pieta, like a beautiful piece of art, and

1100
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: then you have modern art. Modern art was designed specifically, purposefully,

1101
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: intentionally to deconstruct the meaning of art. What is art?

1102
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Who's to say what's beautiful? What is beauty? And then

1103
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,759
Speaker 1: someone just slaps some paint on a canvas, or stacks

1104
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: up some rocks, or goes number one on a statute

1105
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: of Jesus, and we're supposed to believe that this is beautiful,

1106
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: and people fall for it. But the reason they do

1107
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: that is to deconstruct the concept of beauty. And if

1108
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: you can tear down the concept of math, and if

1109
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: you could tear down the concept of gender, if I may,

1110
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: you can tear down every objective truth that exists. Those

1111
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: are the big East math and gender. Those are the

1112
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: two big objective pillars of objective truth. The progressives tear

1113
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: those down. What you got left, It's up to you

1114
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: if you want to drop your kids off at that building.

1115
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: And this is where COVID comes in. If Trump can

1116
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: make this happen, where he can give a voucher to

1117
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: every parent ten fifteen thousand dollars whatever it calls per

1118
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: student for your kid to go to school, and you

1119
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: get a check in the mail for that much money

1120
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: that you can use on your kids education instead of

1121
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: sending him to school anymore because of COVID. What an

1122
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 1: absolute game changing that would be. And we can finally

1123
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: stop this madness once and for all. Mike's Later filling

1124

1128
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: How thanks for Peter. Money is Mike's later, not Buck

1129
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,560
Speaker 1: Sex The Buck is going to be back tomorrow. I

1130
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: host the afternoon shows out in San Diego. Buck and

1131
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I have worked together for years. We worked together on

1132
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: the Blaze Radio while back we worked together. Now on

1133
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: the first TV we're on the same radio station out

1134
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: in San Diego. We're always following each other around. It's

1135
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: an honor to be here in the Freedom Hunt and

1136
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: thank you Buck again. He'll be here tomorrow. We've talked

1137
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: a lot of philosophy today, talked to a lot of Marxism,

1138
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: taught Jacques Derrida, Rousseau, all these people, because they explain

1139
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: why we're here. If you look around, it seems like chaos,

1140
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: and the one is. But if you can understand where

1141
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,560
Speaker 1: it came from, like the philosophical roots of where it

1142
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: can come it came from, it makes perfect sense what

1143
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: you're seeing, as chaotic as it is. I maybe you

1144
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: should have done this in the first hour the show,

1145
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's better late than never. Let's let's give this

1146
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: a world. We'll try to do this. It's kind of

1147
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: hard to do on the radio, but Bucks audience can

1148
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: handle it. The big takeaway here, I just want if

1149
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:05,760
Speaker 1: you can walk away with this, this would be a

1150
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: great success that there is an institutional and philosophical foundation

1151
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: for everything that we're seeing today. Black Lives Matter, Portland

1152
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: and Seattle cancel culture, the woke cult right that this

1153
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: is not out of nowhere. This stuff has been building

1154
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: for decades. You could go back to Marks, you go

1155
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: back to Hegel before that, the nineteen thirties, Frankfurt School,

1156
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: postmodernists of the sixties like, it all builds up to

1157
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: this and it's all very, very purposeful. So let's let's

1158
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: do a quick philosophy one on one overview all right,

1159
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: start the clock, let's do this is from Paul Moroney,

1160
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: A little philosophy one on one. There's five questions that

1161
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: are that we try to answer in philosophy. First, what

1162
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: is the nature of reality? Second? How do we know

1163
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: the things we know? So, what's the nature of reality?

1164
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: How do we know the things we know? Number three?

1165
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 1: What does it mean to be human? Number four? How

1166
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: should I live my life knowing these things? And number

1167
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: five how should we organize society? There's the five big

1168
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: questions of philosophy. Each of those questions has a different

1169
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: field of study, a different subdiscipline in philosophy that tries

1170
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: to answer each of the questions. So, what's the nature

1171
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 1: of reality? That's a metaphysics. How do we know the

1172
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: things we know? That's epistemology. What does it mean to

1173
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: be human? That's human nature. How should I live my life?

1174
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: That's ethics, and then how should we organize society? That's politics. Cool,

1175
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: there's three main eras that are noteworthy here. Obviously there's

1176
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: a ton more we could do. This is a super

1177
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:49,480
Speaker 1: broad overview, but there's three main eras. You have pre Enlightenment, Enlightenment,

1178
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: and then we'll call it postmodern. So pre Enlightenment everything

1179
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: prior to the sixteen seventeen hundreds, Enlightenment seventeen hundreds, and

1180
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: then postmodernism is where we are to So premodern. Let's

1181
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: answer these questions. What's the nature of reality before the Enlightenment? Well,

1182
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: you had the natural realm and then the supernatural realm.

1183
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: Humans on earth, God, an angel in heaven, devil down below.

1184
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: This is the nature of reality. Is metaphysics. How do

1185
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: we know Bible? Again, there's a ton here, I'm skipping

1186
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: over it, but for the sake of this conversation, the

1187
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: proof of what we know is the Bible. What does

1188
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: it mean to be human? Well, man's created in the

1189
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: image of God and you are born with original sin.

1190
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: That is a completely worldview game changer. If you believe

1191
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: that versus what we'll get to next with the Enlightenment.

1192
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Number four ethics, how should you live your life? You

1193
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: should live your life in an altruistic way. Serve and

1194
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 1: love others. Serve and love your neighbor, your church, and God.

1195
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: And then five politics, Well, the king protects the people.

1196
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: People work for the king. That's the political arrangement pre monitor.

1197
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: Then comes the Enlightenment sixteen seventeen hundreds. By seventeen ninety one,

1198
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: which is whe Constitution and Bill of Rights was ratified.

1199
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: All five of these questions had completely different answers, totally

1200
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: different worldviews. First, metaphysics, there is no God anymore. The

1201
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 1: natural world is all we have. That alone will change everything.

1202
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: How do we know what we know? Well, we moved

1203
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: away from the Bible. Obviously that's not a source of

1204
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: authority anymore. We moved away from the Bible into reason

1205
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: and objectivity. So there was this idea that universal truth exists,

1206
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: and this is important at least at least the Enlightenment

1207
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 1: people believed that there is truth and that we can

1208
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: realize it through logical and empirical inquiry. Empirical means you

1209
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: can see, touch her, feel smelling, so we know it

1210
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: through reason and objectivity and science of it. There, human

1211
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: nature is a blank slate. You're not born original sin anymore.

1212
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,879
Speaker 1: You're now born a blank slate. Tabu larassa. This is rousseau.

1213
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: You're not born with any innate nature whatsoever. You are

1214
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: entirely created by the experiences around you, and everything therefore

1215
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: is a social construct. I disagree with that, but anyway.

1216
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:13,919
Speaker 1: Number four ethics, so way more individualism. Each person is autonomous, sovereign,

1217
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: you have moral agency. This led to individual rights in

1218
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: private property and then led to politically five constitutionalism, republicanism,

1219
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: and capitalism. So that was enlightenment. There's good and bad.

1220
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about that now. I'm not

1221
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: saying all the enlightenment is good, not saying all of

1222
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: it's bad. There's good and bad with all of it.

1223
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: But this all leads us to postmodernism today. You can

1224
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: call it anti enlightenment. Number one metaphysics the nature of reality. Well,

1225
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: postmodernists they don't believe in the supernatural, that's for sure.

1226
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Although postmodernists do tend to be very like astrology, tarot

1227
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: cards and stuff like that. Right, but there's no God certainly,

1228
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: so don't believe in that. Supernatur But to them, there's

1229
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: also no natural world. To the postmodernists, all questions about

1230
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: reality are a complete waste of time. There is no

1231
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: such thing as reality. How do we know the things

1232
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: we know? Well, there's no Bible, and there's also no

1233
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: logic or science or reason in fact, because there's no reality,

1234
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: there's no objective knowledge even to be had. Everything is subjective.

1235
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: There's no way to know anything. There's nothing to know,

1236
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: and there's no way to know it. Number three human nature.

1237
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: There is no individual. You are only a member of

1238
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 1: your group identity. That defines your entire existence. Very anti

1239
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: enlightenment to anti lightment is you are sovereign individual. Postmodernism

1240
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: is you are not an individual, You are your group identity.

1241
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: That's intersectionality. Number four ethics. Everything is collectivist and everyone

1242
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,480
Speaker 1: must be cool in all ways all the time, especially

1243
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: the oppressed and marginalized. If you if you have a

1244
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: couple of minutes read Kurt Vonnie gets a very short

1245
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: story it's called Harrison Burgeron to see what absolute equality

1246
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: looks like or would look like in real life. But

1247
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: that's ethics. Everyone has to be equal and always all

1248
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: the time. Of course, some more equal than others. And

1249
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: then finally politics, Well, there is no reality, there is

1250
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 1: no objective truth, there are no universal ethics. Therefore, if

1251
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: you're a postmodernist, you can you can use whatever means

1252
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: you want to achieve any political end you want. On

1253
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: behalf of the oppressed. The oppressors can do no right,

1254
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: the oppressed can do no wrong, because what is right

1255
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: and wrong anyway? And this is where we're living now. Congratulations,

1256
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: this is today. Look out the window, this is where

1257
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: we are right now. So why is this postmodern framework

1258
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: good for these activists and for socialists, for Marxists? Because

1259
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 1: if socialism and communisms claims were irrational, right, that they

1260
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: claim something that's irrational, well, and you and you rebuke it,

1261
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that's any irrational thing, they would reject

1262
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,440
Speaker 1: the irrationality itself, like nothing is rational, nothing could be irrational.

1263
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: If their claims are immoral, they would just reject notions

1264
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: of universal human reality at all. If their claims are illogical,

1265
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: they just reject logic itself. They call it a white

1266
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: supremacist value. So anything they do they can just deflect

1267
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: by saying, well, there's no such thing as logic, reason

1268
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: truth anyway, morality, rationality. So they got you. You're stuck

1269
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: if you play their game, of course, which is what

1270
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 1: we'll get to coming up in a little bit. You

1271
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: can not play the game and then you'll be fine.

1272
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: But just example on race, right, if you believe truth

1273
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: exists and can be known through logic and reason. If

1274
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 1: you believe that, if you believe the truth exists and

1275
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: can be discovered through logic and reason, then you are racist.

1276
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: So they'll call you a racist. And if you say

1277
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: you're not a racist, well that's a truth claim and

1278
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: that's racist white epistemology. So no matter what you do

1279
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: in this philosophy, you're racist. Even if you're an ally,

1280
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: you're still in the white identity group. You're racist. This

1281
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: is what white fragility is. And you've heard this by now.

1282
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: You are racist. You're born racist. So there is a

1283
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: little bit of original sin there. You're born racist. Nothing

1284
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: you can do about it. You can either admit it

1285
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: or if you deny it, that's proof of your racism.

1286
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: So you're trapped either way. Good old double bind. This

1287
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: has again you go back to Hegel who influenced Marx

1288
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: who it's the Frankfurt school in Germany, in the nineteen thirties,

1289
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 1: which led to the postmodernists American universities in the sixties.

1290
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: Where did the sixties radicals go? They went into academia.

1291
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: They branched out into every academic department in the university,

1292
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: in particular the teaching colleges that teach teachers, and now

1293
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: those teachers are teaching teachers who are teaching your kids.

1294
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: And it is everywhere. I can tell you where it

1295
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: is in California, but that's obviously it's crazy California, where

1296
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: I love. Of course. In twenty eighteen, the Texas State

1297
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: school Board approved the first statewide course in ethnic studies.

1298
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,520
Speaker 1: People freaked out, as they always do, and then these postmodernists,

1299
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: they're smart, and they're like, well, we're not going to

1300
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: have an elective although they do have like an Ethnic

1301
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: Sudies course that's still a thing, but also they're going

1302
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: to just infuse it into the entire K through twelve

1303
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: curriculum in every single study. This is as there's a

1304
01:21:54,400 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: postmodern philosopher, grahams Antonio Grams maybe of the long march

1305
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 1: through the institutions. He's the guy who came up with

1306
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: This guy's a valid Marxist communist. He called it the

1307
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: long March through the institution. So the goal is long

1308
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: term to infiltrate every single institution in America, infuse this

1309
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,560
Speaker 1: ideology into everything, and destroy every institution from within. And

1310
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 1: that's what you see everywhere. It's the long March through

1311
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: the institutions. It's entirely purposeful, and it's going perfectly according

1312
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 1: to plan. I want to give an example of a Next,

1313
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: we'll talk about critical grammar at Rutgers University. To add Next,

1314
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Slyder filling in for Buck Sexton. Buck Sexton Show,

1315
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Spread the word, You're in the freedom. This is the

1316
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast, etc. Syders Mike Slyder filling in

1317
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: for the Great buck Sexton. Buck. We'll be back tomorrow.

1318
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: So earlier we spent a ton of time talking about

1319
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: Marxism and postmodern math and how there's no such thing

1320
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: as math two plus two equals Well, who are you

1321
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: to say? What are numbers and all stuff? What about

1322
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 1: the Aztecs And they're a Nepeuan scene scene and there

1323
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: lived experience and how they perceived numbers and all this nonsense, right,

1324
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: and the laugh does this to tear down all objective truth.

1325
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 1: I'd say the two most objective truths are gender, and

1326
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: we see how they've teared that down, right, you got

1327
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: you can men competing in women's sports, no such thing

1328
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: as gender transgenderism. And then math. These are I mean,

1329
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: these are objective truths. And if they can tear down

1330
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: these two pillars, then what else can possibly stand? Now

1331
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: there's another one I'll throw there as well. And the

1332
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: Rutgers University English Department is taking their aim at this.

1333
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: Rutgers University is the state state system in New Jersey

1334
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: which now apparently ceases to be university, right, but they've

1335
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: pledged to decolonize the writing center, so the decolonize. The

1336
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: chair of the English department sent out an email with

1337
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: lists of all the ways that they're going to quote

1338
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: contribute to the eradication of systemic inequalities facing black, Indigenous,

1339
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: and people of color. And one way they're going to

1340
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: do that is incorporating critical grammar into their pedagogy. Pedagogy

1341
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: is just the way they teach, so critical grammar critical

1342
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: means so critical race theory. Critical theory is the umbrella

1343
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 1: philosophy of all this. And then this critical race theory,

1344
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: critical gender theory. So critical grammar is one of critical

1345
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 1: just means to just to tear down, tear down, destroy

1346
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,759
Speaker 1: gear of as we talked about deconstructionism from Jaques Derada

1347
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 1: in the last hour. Anyway, critical grammar this approach challenges

1348
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: the familiar dogma that writing instruction should limit emphasis on

1349
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: grammar and sentence level issues so as to not put

1350
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: students from multilingual, non standard academic English backgrounds at a disadvantage.

1351
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Now I read it quickly, but that sentence is not

1352
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: written properly. Okay, I'm not a nitpicky grammar guy. So

1353
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm in radio, right, I'm a free flowing I don't

1354
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 1: have to worry too much about proper grammar, sentence syntax

1355
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: structure in the radio world. But if you're the chair

1356
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: of the English department and you're talking about critical grammar,

1357
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: you're not. Like, she's screwed up. So the word that

1358
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:31,040
Speaker 1: is a relative pronoun, which is in this sentence is

1359
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:38,640
Speaker 1: supposed to refer back, refer to the traditional dogma. So

1360
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: she's she said, she wrote the sentence incorrectly, which is

1361
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,759
Speaker 1: why grammar matters. What the chair of the English department

1362
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 1: meant to write was this approach like our approach. Challenge

1363
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:55,560
Speaker 1: is the familiar dogma that writing instruction should put emphasis

1364
01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: on grammar, which we believe put students from multilingual, non

1365
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 1: standard academic English backgrounds out of disadvantage, like that's a

1366
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: proper sentence that she didn't bother anyway, Grammar matters, Grammar

1367
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 1: matters for the love of pizza, that we can communicate

1368
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: clearly with each other. You have ideas, you want to

1369
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: express them so that other people can understand them and

1370
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: understand what you're thinking. If we can't do that with

1371
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: each other, then there's no communication. But the left doesn't

1372
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: want then that just once you do obey. Now, the

1373
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: real root of all this is these people have no

1374
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: proper ideas. But if they can prevent you from even

1375
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: speaking with each other, George orwell styled, and they don't

1376
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: even have to debate these ideas because you have nothing

1377
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: to debate with, you have no words to use to debate. Now,

1378
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: in the meantime, can you think of a worst thing

1379
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: that you can do to a child, especially like, let's say,

1380
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,920
Speaker 1: take a black kid. This is something worse you can

1381
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: do to black kid? Then to tell them you don't

1382
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 1: have to show up on time because that's a white

1383
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: supremacist value, that's white culture. Showing up on time, you

1384
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: don't have to write properly because that's a white person thing.

1385
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: And really, you can't show up on time. You can't

1386
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: write properly because you're black. You shouldn't even be expected to.

1387
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: And then when you're not successful in this world, you

1388
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: can blame white supremacy and not the actual racist who

1389
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: purposefully failed to equip you with the tools necessary to

1390
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 1: live a successful life. Can you think of something more

1391
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: toxic and harmful to due to a kid then what

1392
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 1: the progressives are doing right now to kids all across

1393
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: the country, students of color all across the country. But

1394
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:41,759
Speaker 1: just like what is math? Same thing or what is language?

1395
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: This is Evergreen State where a lot of this stuff

1396
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: really took hold. Tutors are there, this is Brett Weinstein's

1397
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: former school. Tutors are there to provide culturally sensitive feedback

1398
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: on writing, though not to correct a grammar, so culturally

1399
01:27:55,760 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: culturally SENSI No, we're not gonna correct grammar in our classes.

1400
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: We're going to be culturally sensitive, which is code for

1401
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: don't correct black kids writing, because what are words? Absolute poison?

1402
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: All of these ideas have consequences, and we are living

1403
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:23,760
Speaker 1: them now and you ain't seen nothing yet. No good

1404
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: news is you don't have to play this game. You

1405
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: are in charge of your kids education. I know we've

1406
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: outsourced it to the state for a long time, assuming

1407
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: best of intentions. They don't have good intentions anymore. You

1408
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 1: are in charge of your kids education. You are in

1409
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: charge of the culture of your home. You don't have

1410
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: to buy into this garbage. You don't have to drink

1411
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: this poison or let your kids drink it either. I

1412
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: want to get some positive stuff coming up next. I

1413
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: think we're spent two and a half hours trying to

1414
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: be aware of where this all came from. But let's

1415
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: focus now on what we can do instead. My name

1416
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 1: is Mike's Later, going it for Buck Sexton, Buck Sexton Show.

1420
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: Mike's Later from San Diego Film and for Buck Sexton Today, Buck,

1421
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow. Thanks Buck for let me be

1422
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hut today. Read the Other Day a

1423
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: mom said that her black son is doing the best

1424
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: form of protest, possible, best form of protest, going to

1425
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 1: work so that he can earn money to go to college,

1426
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: and she is so proud of him. I would argue,

1427
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: you don't need to go to college now, but that's

1428
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 1: not the point right the second. The point is going

1429
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: to work, working hard, improving yourself. To go back to

1430
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: the very first hour of the show, to concentric circles

1431
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: from Jordan Peterson. But that person who's going to work

1432
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 1: and doing what he should do, he's not going to

1433
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: get any attention. This is how the media fans the flames.

1434
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 1: They give the attention to the rioters, which just incentivizes

1435
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 1: more rioting, and we don't give any attention or accolades

1436
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: to the people who are doing what they're supposed to

1437
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: be doing. Ryan Holiday one of my favorite writers, love him.

1438
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: He wrote a blog piece of while back, and it's

1439
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 1: called the most successful people are the ones You've never

1440
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: heard of and why they want it that way? And

1441
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 1: one of the points is you lose a lot in

1442
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: your quest for fame and recognition. Alexander the Great he

1443
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 1: died at thirty two. Joseph Kennedy I'm quoting here Joseph Kennedy,

1444
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: who created a multigenerational legacy of powerful, brilliant children, also

1445
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 1: lobotomized his own daughter because she couldn't quite measure up.

1446
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: And what of the countless successful people who lost their privacy, spouses,

1447
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: or youth in the pursuit of dominance in some sport

1448
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: or business or politics. What of those who kept reaching

1449
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 1: and reaching after they had success and destroyed everything they

1450
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 1: built with that final overstretch. I share this because if

1451
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 1: there's someone who's success you envy. Doesn't have to be

1452
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: a super rich celebrity. Could be someone at your work

1453
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,719
Speaker 1: or something right. You envy their success and recognition because

1454
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,680
Speaker 1: you've sold more of this, or more widgets, or you

1455
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,640
Speaker 1: have more articles written about you, or will you make

1456
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: more money? Or are they excuse me? They make more money,

1457
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: they have more widgets, they have more cars, they have

1458
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: a bigger house. Whatever. I know you've thought, I've thought,

1459
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 1: everyone's thought it before. Oh they're the lucky one. Is

1460
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: that true? Maybe you're the lucky one. The Jim Carrey line.

1461
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 1: He said, I think everybody should get rich and famous

1462
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: and do everything they are dreamed of, so that they

1463
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 1: can see that it's not the answer. And in our

1464
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: world today, we're being told over and over again from

1465
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,440
Speaker 1: every single angle that this is the answer. Fame, money, accolades,

1466
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: and the length that people will go to get them.

1467
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,880
Speaker 1: They'll go through evil lengths to get the fame and accolades,

1468
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 1: and they they'll mistake accolades for actually doing something. They'll

1469
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: post on Twitter or whatever about how wonderful they are

1470
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 1: for this belief without ever actually doing anything to help

1471
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: that cause. How many of these people who are rioting

1472
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 1: and protesting for Black Lives Matter I've ever actually volunteered

1473
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 1: to help kids, None of them. But they're mistaken the

1474
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: accolades with the actual work. Read an article about a

1475
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:42,719
Speaker 1: guy who used to be a member of the social

1476
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 1: media mob, the Twitter mob. He was one of the

1477
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 1: guys who would go out attack people, and then he

1478
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: said something that offended the mob, and then the mob

1479
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 1: came after him, lost his job, and he sends quit

1480
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: social media and now he delivers pizza And you're thinking, oh, man, whatever,

1481
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 1: what a bad trajectory for this guy. He loves it.

1482
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Why he said, It's led me to rediscover how to

1483
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: interact with people in the real world. I'm a kinder

1484
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 1: and more respectful, respectful person now that I'm not regularly

1485
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,560
Speaker 1: on social media attacking people for not being kind and respectful.

1486
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Real life is better than fake life. It's a theme

1487
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: I say on my show all the time. Real life

1488
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 1: is better than fake life. This guy was living a

1489
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 1: fake life and he was successful financially in the midst

1490
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 1: of it. But now he has less money, but he's happier.

1491
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,479
Speaker 1: Why because real life is better than fake life even

1492
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: with less money. Sea the singer. She said, if anyone

1493
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: besides famous people knew what it was like to be

1494
01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 1: a famous person, they would never want to be famous.

1495
01:33:53,160 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: Epictetus philosopher, ancient philosopher's he wrote, live in obscurity. There

1496
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 1: was a French philosopher many years later who said he

1497
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 1: the French French same pure via. In order to that's

1498
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 1: a that's a spot on. You can Google translate that.

1499
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: But in order to live happily, live hidden a better

1500
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 1: way of saying. This is the very first segment of

1501
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: the show. Work on your concentric circles. You can go

1502
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 1: back and listen to the podcast to get the full thing.

1503
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 1: But as Jordan Peterson, who played my favorite Jordan Peterson clip,

1504
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 1: this video has only got six thousand views. I don't

1505
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 1: know why doesn't have six millions. My all time favorite

1506
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson clip, and he talked about instead of focusing

1507
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: on these huge, giant global issues, focus on yourself first.

1508
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: I work out from there, yourself, your family, your community,

1509
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,879
Speaker 1: your country, then the human race and then the planet.

1510
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 1: But so many progressives go from the outside end when

1511
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 1: the disastrous consequences. Work on yourself first. I remember in

1512
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of COVID, I talked to the barbershop owner

1513
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: in Michigan who opened up really quickly in the whole thing,

1514
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 1: and he was shut down and then opened again, and

1515
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:10,320
Speaker 1: they shut him down, like arrested him, all this stuff.

1516
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: I remember I talked to him on my TV show

1517
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I never wanted this. He said, I

1518
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 1: was as famous as I ever wanted to be. People

1519
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,679
Speaker 1: search for the fame and the accolades on social media

1520
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: without putting the work in. And kids today are told

1521
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: that hard work as a white supremacist of value. But

1522
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: this doesn't have to be true in your home. This

1523
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the lesson that you give your kids.

1524
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: It's getting from culture everywhere, but doesn't have to be

1525
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: the lesson you give, I'll tell you a storry. Nineteen

1526
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 1: seventy five. There's a guy. It's twenty three. His name

1527
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: as Bill Unemployed. Had a job as an assistant coach

1528
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,640
Speaker 1: on a football team, but he it fell through, so

1529
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,720
Speaker 1: he didn't have a job. He wrote two hundred and

1530
01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 1: fifty letters two college and professional football coaches all across

1531
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 1: the country just needed a chance, and he got one.

1532
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 1: Got one unpaid job, which is like, is that even

1533
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 1: a job? Like an internship for the Baltimore Colts. The

1534
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 1: cults needed someone who could do one part time job

1535
01:36:20,479 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 1: that everyone hated, analyzing game film, And back then it

1536
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 1: was actual film like projector film, cumbersome, frustrating, like had

1537
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: to cut it, like actually cut and tape the film

1538
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 1: back together, so it was monotonous. Did I say it

1539
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:41,600
Speaker 1: was unpaid? It was just grunt work. But he decided

1540
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 1: to be the best at it, and he wanted to

1541
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 1: be the best at precisely what others thought they were

1542
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: too good for. And all the coaches eventually took notice.

1543
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 1: They said he was like a sponge taking it all in,

1544
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 1: listening to everything. One coach said, you'd given him assignment,

1545
01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:04,639
Speaker 1: he would disappear into the room. You didn't see him

1546
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:06,560
Speaker 1: again until it was done, and then he wanted to

1547
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 1: do more hustle and hard work. But here's the most

1548
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 1: important part. It wasn't just the thankless work. It was

1549
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 1: the fact that he would do the work, get some insight,

1550
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,200
Speaker 1: it some valuable insight, give it to other coaches. They

1551
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 1: would use it. And he never wanted the credit. He

1552
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't care about the credit. He just did the work.

1553
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 1: And this is opposite today today our culture says, don't

1554
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,120
Speaker 1: do any work and try and go get all the credit.

1555
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 1: All right, post whatever you need to post in order

1556
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: to get constant, NonStop accolades with no work. Hans Feeny,

1557
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 1: it was one of my favorite people on Twitter. It's

1558
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: a pastor. Years ago he wrote this thing called Selma

1559
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 1: Envin as his article about why the millennials took over

1560
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: the gay rights cause as their civil rights issue, and

1561
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 1: it said it's because growing up, these kids, millennials were

1562
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 1: taught a hero of the civil rights icons, these are

1563
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:10,600
Speaker 1: the great heroes of the world. You need to go

1564
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: out and do that. So they did. But the problem

1565
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,160
Speaker 1: was millennials so narcissistic, didn't want to actually do anything,

1566
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,719
Speaker 1: so they took up the gay rights cause it was perfect.

1567
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 1: It didn't require any financial sacrifice because gay people had money.

1568
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:27,599
Speaker 1: It didn't require any moral consistency, right, so you could

1569
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,680
Speaker 1: still live your life however you wanted to, and it

1570
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: didn't require you actually do anything. You could just change

1571
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:35,639
Speaker 1: your avatar on your Facebook or what are your Twitter profile,

1572
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 1: and then boom, you get credit for actually doing something.

1573
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: So that's why the gay rights movement was perfect for millennials.

1574
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 1: It didn't require any work, but you get tons of credit,

1575
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:45,800
Speaker 1: tons of accolades. That's our culture day. I'm not going

1576
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 1: to go to do a whole ran here because I

1577
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: want to do something next. But I've been hearing so

1578
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 1: many people suing or threatening to sue, or just whining

1579
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: and complaining on the internet about how their bosses are mean,

1580
01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 1: Like I can't oh my mos, he never listened to

1581
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: my ideas, Like you get over yourself, you kid me.

1582
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: The La Times wrote this whole article about how this

1583
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 1: talent agency in LA was racist because they interviewed three

1584
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: black women used to work for the talent agency who

1585
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 1: said they were racist, and one of the women's all

1586
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:22,640
Speaker 1: they were all ridiculous, but one of them was. He

1587
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: didn't listen to my ideas, and of course blamed her race,

1588
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: and the thought that maybe you're not a good employee

1589
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 1: and you have bad ideas never crossed her mind. Oh

1590
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: but he was mean. Okay, maybe your boss was too

1591
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 1: busy to coddle your feelings at that moment. Get over yourself.

1592
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 1: But our society, we've been preaching this backwards work ethic

1593
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,560
Speaker 1: for so long and social media is just reinforcing it.

1594
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,560
Speaker 1: And if you didn't figure it out, that Bill was

1595
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:56,479
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, six times super Bowl winning, probably greatest coach today.

1596
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 1: So he didn't look for the accolades first. He did

1597
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: the work first. Accolades came. Now you know the rest

1598
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 1: of the story. Mike's later filling in for Buck Sexton

1599
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, throw the word You're in the freedom Hunt.

1600
01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show podcast, etc. Considers Mike's

1601
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: later filling in for Buck Sexton. Thanks for having me today.

1602
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: I hope I can do it again with you. One

1603
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 1: Buck's gone. Let me end here. Booker T. Washington, you

1604
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 1: have to read his book. It's called Up from Slavery.

1605
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 1: He was a slave until he was nine years old,

1606
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 1: tells his whole story. It's autobiography about then going to

1607
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: work in the salt mines and then doing everything he

1608
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:39,720
Speaker 1: could to get an education, the lengths that he went

1609
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: to get an education, and then there's so many people today.

1610
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 1: Jock stapose that with kids today have the whole world

1611
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 1: at their fingertips education wise, and just squandered away. It's unbelievable.

1612
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 1: Booker T. Washington be freaking out on all of us today.

1613
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 1: But in his book, he tells a story of traveling

1614
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: five hundred miles to go to this school called Hampton

1615
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 1: that he really wanted to go to. And on his

1616
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: first night, he tried to stay at a hotel and

1617
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:09,719
Speaker 1: the person wouldn't le him stay because he was black.

1618
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 1: And let me just quote here, he said, my whole

1619
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: soul was so bent upon reaching Hampton, the school, that

1620
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 1: I did not have any time to cherish any bitterness

1621
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: towards the hotel keeper. Compared to that today, how many

1622
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,080
Speaker 1: people are just bitter, bitter, bit or bitter, NonStop over

1623
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 1: like the tiniest little like nothing compared to this former

1624
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 1: slave book if he Washington put up with. But I

1625
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:32,840
Speaker 1: love this story. He says, I walked to sleep in

1626
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 1: the streets till midnight at last, I became so exhausted

1627
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:37,720
Speaker 1: that I could walk no longer. I was tired, I

1628
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 1: was hungry, I was everything but discouraged. And just about

1629
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: the time when I reached extreme physical exhaustion, I came

1630
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: upon a portion of the street where the board sidewalk

1631
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: was considerably elevated, and I waited a few minutes until

1632
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:53,560
Speaker 1: I was sure that no passers by could see me,

1633
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: and I crept under the sidewalk, and I lay for

1634
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 1: the night upon the ground with my satchel of clothing

1635
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,600
Speaker 1: for a pillow. Nearly all night I could hear the

1636
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: tramp of feet over my head. Next morning, he wakes

1637
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 1: up and he goes to the nearby docks, and he

1638
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 1: begs the captain to let him unload the boat in

1639
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 1: order to get some money, and the captain said yes.

1640
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: He says, I worked long enough to earn money for

1641
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:21,759
Speaker 1: my breakfast, and it seemed to me, as I remember

1642
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: it now, to have been the best breakfast that I've

1643
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:28,759
Speaker 1: ever eaten. And years later he went back to Richmond.

1644
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 1: As Richmond, Virginia. He went back to Richmond to give

1645
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 1: a speech. He said, the reception was held not far

1646
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,560
Speaker 1: from the spot where I slept the first night I

1647
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 1: spent in the city, And I must confess that my

1648
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 1: mind was more upon that sidewalk that gave me shelter

1649
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:47,759
Speaker 1: than upon the recognition agreeable and cordial as it was amazing,

1650
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 1: Like Frederick Douglas book or t Washed, and these men

1651
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:58,520
Speaker 1: did not have bitterness in their hearts towards their slave owners.

1652
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: But today we're supposed to be bitter about the legacy

1653
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: of slavery. These guys weren't even bitter about being slaves.

1654
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 1: And talk about self reflection with concentric circles, starting with

1655
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 1: you in the beginning. Please read this book. It's a

1656
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,559
Speaker 1: biography of Josiah Henson. He was the inspiration for Uncle

1657
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: Tom's Cabin, which sparked the Civil War. Incredible story Josiah Henson,

1658
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: It's called New Dawn. He went to his first church service,

1659
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 1: first church service. Not only after his first service was

1660
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: he so acutely aware of the spiritual evils of slavery,

1661
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: but also it revealed to him the faults in his

1662
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 1: own life, his own pride and ego and arrogance and selfishness. Oh,

1663
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,719
Speaker 1: Josiah Henson, as he was a slave, had a spiritual

1664
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: awakening personally he had constant personal reflection as he was

1665
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: a slave. But today we're supposed to always believe it's

1666
01:43:56,479 --> 01:44:02,840
Speaker 1: someone else's fault, never my fault. It's the legacy of

1667
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:08,520
Speaker 1: slavery's fault. And even Josiah Henson didn't have that conclusion.

1668
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,240
Speaker 1: Amazing to me. All Right, I got a minute here.

1669
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 1: We've got to get back to our virtues in America,

1670
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: George Washington. Virtue and morality is a necessary spring of

1671
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 1: popular government. Human rights can only be assured among a

1672
01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: virtuous people. Benjamin Frank And only a virtuous people are

1673
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,560
Speaker 1: capable of freedom. I love this quote, James Madison. To

1674
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 1: suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or

1675
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:38,480
Speaker 1: happiness without any virtue in the people is a chimerical

1676
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 1: idea chimerical. So a chimera was a half lion, half

1677
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:47,200
Speaker 1: goat with a serpent's tail, like a ridiculous thing. A

1678
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing. That's how absurd the idea of a government

1679
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: that secures liberty and freedom is without a virtuous people.

1680
01:44:55,200 --> 01:45:00,559
Speaker 1: It's half lion, half goat with a serpent's tail. Sam Adams.

1681
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 1: Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure

1682
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 1: the liberty and happiness of the people whose manners are

1683
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 1: universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of liberty

1684
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: of his country who tries the most to promote it's virtue.

1685
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 1: And I'll end with this one, John Adams. We have

1686
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: no government armed with power capable of contending with human

1687
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 1: passions unbridled by morality and religion others. We need religion

1688
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:31,599
Speaker 1: and morality to bridle the passions of our fallen selves,

1689
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 1: which goes back to the here's the top of this

1690
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:39,680
Speaker 1: hour without the timeline overview of pre Enlightenment, enlightenment and

1691
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: postmodern values, and there's John Adams speaking of the pre

1692
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 1: Enlightenment original sin, averice and ambition, revenge, gallantry would break

1693
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 1: the strongest chords of our constitution as a whale through

1694
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 1: a net. Our constitution was made for im moral and

1695
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 1: religious people. That is wholly inadequate to the government of

1696
01:45:57,720 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: any other. The two things that stand out to me

1697
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:03,240
Speaker 1: here are all the onliness of it. Only a virtuous

1698
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:06,760
Speaker 1: people are capable of freedom, and then also the absurdity

1699
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:09,680
Speaker 1: of the thought that you couldnot be virtuous. It's it's

1700
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: a chimera, it's it's a half line half goat, serpent's tail.

1701
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 1: It's like a whale going through a tiny fishnet. Virtue,

1702
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: personal responsibility, virtue. It's our only hope. Pack. It's not politics.

1703
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 1: We gotta do that. We gotta play the game. We

1704
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 1: gotta win the elections, there's no doubt about that. But

1705
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 1: it's more than that. It's culture, and culture is really personal.

1706
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: MIxS later filling it for Buck Sexton on The Buck

1707
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:35,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show spread the word
