1 00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:21,690 Kevin Bae: Hello, it's Saturday, June 12 2021. Think I'm on 2 00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:25,950 episode eight. Let me check. 3 00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:37,920 Yes, it's number eight. 4 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,320 Eight episodes. Eight seconds, eight days, eight months, eight. 5 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,300 I don't know, I didn't even know what I'm saying. I didn't know 6 00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:02,130 if I was gonna record this or not today. But I'm here. I just 7 00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:05,040 finished the different podcasts. So I figured I'd throw this one 8 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,030 in while I can. And while the dogs appear to be sleeping, they 9 00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:14,070 were walking around like mad on my last podcast, or at least my 10 00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:18,930 my big dog Godfrey was and he was just making all kinds of 11 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:23,730 stupid noise. I don't know I hope the noise gate function in 12 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:30,600 Audacity can take that out. Because it's a more straight up 13 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:35,790 podcast where I'm not rambling like I am here. For today, let's 14 00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:40,740 see. I you know, when I get to Saturday, and I take a look at 15 00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:43,710 what I blogged over the previous week, and I didn't think I did 16 00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:46,980 anything. And then I look at it like, Oh, yeah, you listed a lot 17 00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:51,270 of crap. More than more than what I thought. So you know, I 18 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:54,210 don't know if I'll get through it all or not. And I'm going to 19 00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:58,620 start out with something I just literally ran across just in the 20 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:04,590 last few minutes. I saw a post on daily wire COMM And it was 21 00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:09,630 from us regarding Senator James Lankford, Republican from 22 00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:16,470 Oklahoma. He was quizzing our HHS Secretary and I can't 23 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:21,600 remember his name. His last name is Sarah. But I don't I can't 24 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,560 remember if he goes by Xavier or Javier, I'm gonna guess Javier. 25 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:31,380 Because his name is spelled XAVI er, and I heard his last name 26 00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:34,500 said, you know, they call them Secretary viscera. So that one 27 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,530 hopefully, I got that one. Right. So I think it's heavier. 28 00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:44,940 Sarah, the Secretary of Health and Human Services. It's a short 29 00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:49,140 video on YouTube. It's like five minutes long, but you cut into 30 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:56,040 about one minute and Senator Lankford Lankford asks him if 31 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:03,540 he's cut a certain division out? And I don't know why. I mean, I 32 00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:07,800 guess I know why. But is it that difficult? Just to answer a 33 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,750 question directly? Nobody does it anymore. Almost nobody, that 34 00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:15,870 that was the one refreshing thing that you got out of Trump? 35 00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:18,810 You know, if you didn't like what he was saying, or who was 36 00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:22,620 saying it, at least he would give you a direct answer to a 37 00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,810 question. He might even give you more than what you bargained 38 00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:27,030 for. But listen to this bullshit 39 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,330 Unknown: at your nomination hearing. You and I talked about 40 00:03:30,330 --> 00:03:34,290 the conscience and freedom and freedom of faith. All of those 41 00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:36,960 protections that are there, I was surprised to see the 42 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,630 language in the budget is stripped up much of that 43 00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:42,990 language that had existed in previous budgets about freedom 44 00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:46,950 of conscience, freedom of religion. And it also seems that 45 00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:49,740 you're eliminating the conscience and religious freedom 46 00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:50,340 division. 47 00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,579 Kevin Bae: So eliminating that division. And I wish he would 48 00:03:53,579 --> 00:04:01,079 just launch into that question, you know, first of all, I don't 49 00:04:01,079 --> 00:04:03,479 even think we need a Department of Health and Human Services, 50 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,869 there should be that that cabinet position should just be 51 00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:14,609 eliminated as as as much of the modern presidential cabinet. But 52 00:04:14,609 --> 00:04:17,609 he asked this question, it's pretty direct question. Have you 53 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:18,659 done this or not? 54 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:21,330 Unknown: Is that true in your budget? Are you eliminating the 55 00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:24,300 conscience and freedom, religious freedom division, 56 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,540 we are going to continue to do the work to protect the 57 00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:31,890 religious, civil constitutional rights of all Americans under 58 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,340 HHS purview. And we are going to continue to be a solid 59 00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:38,070 organization through the Office of Civil Rights that we have to 60 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:40,110 make sure that we're protecting everyone's rights, including 61 00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:41,250 religious conscience rights. 62 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Kevin Bae: Oh, my God, what a fucking load of bullshit. Why 63 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,760 can't you just say you did it and then follow up with with 64 00:04:53,190 --> 00:04:56,490 either what you've replaced it with or what the goal is why you 65 00:04:56,490 --> 00:05:02,940 were why you got rid of it. Just answer the goddamn question. You 66 00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:07,800 know, there isn't anything really that HHS should be doing 67 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,980 anyway, with regard to religious freedom. They shouldn't be 68 00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:18,180 discriminating against any American for any reason. Period, 69 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,810 end of story. So whether they have some stupid division, you 70 00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:24,570 know, for religious freedom or not, should really make no 71 00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:28,560 difference. Yeah, just the whole thing was just fucking 72 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,370 infuriating. 73 00:05:29,849 --> 00:05:32,579 Unknown: But you, you're taking away that division as a priority 74 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:35,009 and putting it under something else? Or where is it going, 75 00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:37,919 Oh, it continues to function, the work continues to be 76 00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:40,049 functioning under the Office of Civil Rights. 77 00:05:40,259 --> 00:05:42,839 Kevin Bae: So there you go. Finally, finally, he says where 78 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,039 it went. But he, he cannot bring himself to say that they 79 00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:51,719 eliminated that division. So it's still, you know, whatever. 80 00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:54,389 He's claiming whatever those functions are that that one 81 00:05:54,389 --> 00:05:57,359 division was doing. It's now under the Civil Rights Division. 82 00:05:58,140 --> 00:06:00,420 Unknown: Okay, so it has not changed or it has changed, 83 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,210 the work will not change. I mean, we continue to have a 84 00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:06,180 responsibility to protect the religious freedom of all 85 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:09,120 Americans, when it comes to any of the health care programs that 86 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,360 are out there, we will continue to provide protections for the 87 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,390 civil constitutional rights of all Americans, including those 88 00:06:15,390 --> 00:06:18,810 that involve religion, and so nothing there changes. 89 00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,390 Okay, we'll follow up on that in the days ahead, to be able to 90 00:06:21,390 --> 00:06:22,080 see that often 91 00:06:22,139 --> 00:06:23,219 Kevin Bae: comes at bat shifts. 92 00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:26,640 Unknown: I also know she changed the term in your budget work. 93 00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:31,020 You shifted from in places from using the term mother to 94 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,070 birthing people. 95 00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:36,690 Kevin Bae: Can you even believe that this is where we are today 96 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:43,140 that you can't call a mother a mother, that because of, you 97 00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:49,860 know, where we are today with transgender rights, whatever 98 00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:55,350 that is, I mean, that, you know, rights are not something that 99 00:06:55,350 --> 00:07:00,930 exists for a label rights are something you're born with. You 100 00:07:00,930 --> 00:07:03,990 just you have them because of your exist because of your 101 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:09,240 existence, not because of some label that you want to place on 102 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:20,490 yourself. It's a biological fact. Women, females have 103 00:07:20,490 --> 00:07:27,600 babies, you can call yourself a man. But biologically, you 104 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,370 cannot have a baby unless you have a womb, females have wombs. 105 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:39,990 So traditionally, you you would call that person a mother. So 106 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:43,860 now, starting in the federal government, the Department of 107 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,330 Health and Human Services, has changed the term mother to 108 00:07:48,330 --> 00:07:56,910 birthing person. House how just absolutely asinine is this? And 109 00:07:56,910 --> 00:08:02,520 the senator asked some asks, Mr. bursera, this question, Amber, 110 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,310 Sarah wants to say, Mom, when you're watching the video, he 111 00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:09,630 wants to say, Mother. But because of the current policies 112 00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:12,690 and the ridiculousness of it all, he can't just say birthing 113 00:08:12,690 --> 00:08:16,290 person is a mother. But we're just using this more, he can 114 00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:20,460 even say we're using this more inclusive term, to capture more 115 00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:29,970 than just females who identify as female as a woman. It's good 116 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,980 to encompass females that identify as a man. So they're 117 00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:39,390 using the new term birthing person to be inclusive. But why 118 00:08:39,390 --> 00:08:45,660 is it that he couldn't say it still means mother? Because it 119 00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:50,490 does, it still means mother eating it, it would encompass 120 00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:50,850 that 121 00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:56,190 Unknown: rather than mother, can you help me get a good 122 00:08:56,190 --> 00:08:57,780 definition of birthing people? 123 00:08:58,950 --> 00:09:01,980 Well, I'll check on the language there. But I think if we're 124 00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:04,500 talking about those who give birth, I think we're talking 125 00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:04,860 about 126 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,800 Kevin Bae: right there. He wanted to say Mother explaining 127 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,320 to them he wanted to say Mother, but he couldn't do it. I was a 128 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,560 little taken back in his read a few videos just so stupid. Her 129 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,100 Unknown: mother was gone in spots. using the term mother, we 130 00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,190 got a birthday. Listen that again, rather than mother, can 131 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:22,860 you help me get a good definition of birthing people? 132 00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:27,840 Well, I'll check on the language there. But I'm talking about 133 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,170 those who give birth. I think we're talking about mothers say 134 00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:32,880 it. I don't know how else to explain it. 135 00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:35,520 I was able 136 00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:40,560 Kevin Bae: to bring himself to say it 137 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,960 Unknown: and it was replaced with birthing people. And I 138 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,450 didn't know if this was a direction that you were going if 139 00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:47,490 there were shifts, if there are regulatory changes that are 140 00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:50,550 happening related to that or what the purpose of that is. 141 00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:54,630 I think it's probably and again, I'd have to go back and take a 142 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:57,180 look at the language that was used in the budget, but I think 143 00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:59,190 it simply reflects the work that's been done 144 00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:03,780 Kevin Bae: and It's just such an asshole thing to do. You know, 145 00:10:03,810 --> 00:10:08,760 it, just say it. What what? What would the senator be able to 146 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,500 say? Okay, he's a republican senator from Oklahoma. So you 147 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,430 must we assume he's asking about religious liberties. And now 148 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:21,300 about the term mother being taken out and replaced with 149 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,050 birthing person, which just how does that how stupid does that 150 00:10:25,050 --> 00:10:33,210 make us sound anyway? What would the senator be able to do if the 151 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:40,140 HHS Secretary just said a birthing person is a mother, but 152 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:44,160 we've replaced the word mother with birthing person to try to 153 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,170 be more inclusive to these other groups? You know, and the 154 00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:51,450 senator would be able to maybe make a little bit of a stink, 155 00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:54,780 but what what could actually be said, I mean, how is he going to 156 00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:58,920 combat trying to include more people rather than exclude more 157 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,980 people, when everybody knows anyway, biologically, a person 158 00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:12,330 who gives birth is a mother is a woman is a female. Anyway, it 159 00:11:12,330 --> 00:11:18,300 just it when I saw that it just like so. This is just so stupid. 160 00:11:19,830 --> 00:11:25,590 And nobody can ever even just answer a goddamn question. So 161 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:28,890 what I see started off the week with Jeff Bezos, his face What 162 00:11:28,890 --> 00:11:32,430 the hell happened to his face. Here's a video about him and him 163 00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:35,730 inviting his brother on the first flight of Blue Origin. 164 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,150 Love the inspiring music, from space, new changes, even sounds 165 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:43,290 different relationship with this 166 00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:47,130 Unknown: planet with humanity. It's one Earth, I want to go on 167 00:11:47,130 --> 00:11:50,940 this flight, because it's a thing I've wanted to do all my 168 00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:55,980 life. It's an adventure. It's a big deal for me. I invited my 169 00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:57,660 brother to come on this first flight. 170 00:11:57,929 --> 00:12:00,149 Kevin Bae: I mean, he can barely say, brother there. It's just so 171 00:12:00,149 --> 00:12:03,209 weird. I don't know what it is. Maybe he's got an illness, who 172 00:12:03,209 --> 00:12:09,359 knows? It's just like, you can't go from being what you see all 173 00:12:09,359 --> 00:12:12,839 the time to having that face and that speech pattern. And nobody 174 00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:15,719 says anything. I searched around for it. I couldn't find any. 175 00:12:16,709 --> 00:12:23,969 Anything on what is happening with Bezos? Oh, let's see, okay. 176 00:12:24,419 --> 00:12:29,729 The Atlanta Journal, they had a story about epilepsy and 177 00:12:29,729 --> 00:12:33,539 patients being enrolled in drug trials here in the Atlanta area 178 00:12:33,539 --> 00:12:36,809 without their consent. And it revealed that doctors and 179 00:12:36,809 --> 00:12:44,129 researchers are, in fact, human beings. Really, they're humans. 180 00:12:44,249 --> 00:12:49,979 They're not perfect. You know, and the world looks at right 181 00:12:49,979 --> 00:12:55,469 now, doctors and scientists, researchers, they're they're put 182 00:12:55,469 --> 00:12:59,489 up on this pedestal as if they are more than human, is if they 183 00:12:59,489 --> 00:13:07,679 don't have human biases and prejudices, you know, so, we 184 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,379 always get the follow the science as a science is somehow 185 00:13:10,379 --> 00:13:14,819 unbiased. You know, science is performed by humans, therefore, 186 00:13:14,819 --> 00:13:21,779 science is biased. You cannot have science without a bias. You 187 00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:24,929 can do your best. And that's why they're supposed to have peer 188 00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:27,329 review and other scientists look at it so that way, if somebody 189 00:13:27,329 --> 00:13:32,099 who who's not maybe blinded by a certain bias can come in and 190 00:13:32,099 --> 00:13:34,169 take a look at something and say, Well, this isn't right. 191 00:13:34,169 --> 00:13:37,799 Because of this, this this, you know, you didn't take this data 192 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:40,139 into consideration because you didn't even want to look at it. 193 00:13:42,059 --> 00:13:45,089 So it turns out the hospitals and doctors they sometimes they 194 00:13:45,089 --> 00:13:51,809 use feelings and prejudices regarding drugs, and they play 195 00:13:51,809 --> 00:14:01,079 favorites, according to some researchers. Let's see it from 196 00:14:01,079 --> 00:14:06,179 the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta Journal Constitution. They see 197 00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:09,569 for example, the researchers who did the epilepsy drug study said 198 00:14:09,569 --> 00:14:12,599 doctors in different hospitals often had feelings or prejudices 199 00:14:12,599 --> 00:14:15,449 about one of three drugs that didn't really have a basis in 200 00:14:15,449 --> 00:14:22,799 fact, so much for putting faith in the science. The study put 201 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:27,029 those to rest the critics of the E FF IC and I forgot what the 202 00:14:27,029 --> 00:14:30,749 hell that stood for, say abuses against patients have piled up 203 00:14:30,779 --> 00:14:33,629 under it because the leaders involved in designing, approving 204 00:14:33,629 --> 00:14:36,989 and publishing studies are also usually researchers and people 205 00:14:36,989 --> 00:14:40,919 sympathetic to researchers. their mindset inevitably tips 206 00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:44,369 over from care from the individual patients in the study 207 00:14:44,429 --> 00:14:49,409 to the public gains that might be made, said George anass are 208 00:14:49,409 --> 00:14:52,859 Ana's director of the Center for Health Law, ethics and human 209 00:14:52,859 --> 00:15:02,489 rights at Boston University. No, this can't be This just can't be 210 00:15:05,489 --> 00:15:09,119 that they don't take individual patients and their welfare 211 00:15:09,149 --> 00:15:12,359 patients welfare into consideration instead of their 212 00:15:12,359 --> 00:15:19,109 own personal bias. That's not what I've been told, especially 213 00:15:19,109 --> 00:15:24,269 over this last year with COVID. You know, we get this kind of 214 00:15:24,269 --> 00:15:26,939 bullshit with climate change, we get this kind of bullshit with 215 00:15:26,939 --> 00:15:32,249 COVID-19. And the vaccine, the the vaccines, and the PCR tests 216 00:15:32,249 --> 00:15:34,529 and all this other stuff. Don't Don't question anybody because 217 00:15:34,529 --> 00:15:38,099 they always have your best interest at heart. Bullshit, 218 00:15:38,129 --> 00:15:41,219 they're they're human, they're human, like the rest of us. And 219 00:15:41,219 --> 00:15:43,499 they'll make decisions based on their own personal best 220 00:15:43,499 --> 00:15:49,559 interest. You know? Sure, do people exist that take others 221 00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:52,949 into account more than they more than they take themselves? Yes, 222 00:15:53,459 --> 00:15:56,789 people do exist that do nice things for people just because. 223 00:16:00,719 --> 00:16:03,599 But I, you know, I subscribe to, you know, the Ronald Reagan 224 00:16:03,599 --> 00:16:07,379 method of, you know, trust, but verify, you know, you can take 225 00:16:07,379 --> 00:16:10,979 somebody at their word, but then watch what they do is what they 226 00:16:10,979 --> 00:16:16,079 do are the things that they do. Honestly, following up on what 227 00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:23,099 they say, you know, they say, follow the science is our, you 228 00:16:23,099 --> 00:16:28,409 know, are the things that they do, following the science. At 229 00:16:28,409 --> 00:16:31,259 least in this year, you know, I think much of it's just been 230 00:16:31,259 --> 00:16:34,019 bullshit, nobody's done anything. They've just always 231 00:16:34,019 --> 00:16:41,189 been looking for their own interest. story out of the Wall 232 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:47,159 Street Journal, talking about being educated, and woke, could 233 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,089 cause you problems. It was an opinion piece in The Wall Street 234 00:16:51,089 --> 00:16:55,769 Journal, where this guy was saying that he's not interested 235 00:16:55,769 --> 00:16:59,249 in hiring people that 236 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,000 want to waste their time and energy on things that just don't 237 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,090 matter. He wants to hire people that are interested in moving 238 00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:13,530 his business forward. Who the heck was he see, I got a link 239 00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:16,530 here on my site to The Wall Street Journal opinion piece. 240 00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:23,130 And this was written by somebody by the name of our our Reno, and 241 00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:29,580 our Reno is editor of something called first things I have no 242 00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:33,210 idea what first things is, I don't know who Mr. Reno is. Let 243 00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:37,350 me search for that real quick. First thing, 244 00:17:43,410 --> 00:17:47,040 that's a website. So they publish something, let's see 245 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,420 what the heck the published by the institution, the Institute 246 00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:55,080 of religious and public life first things is an educational 247 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,790 institute aiming to advance religiously, and to advance a 248 00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:03,720 religiously informed public philosophy. So I think you can 249 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:11,610 gather from that he would be anti woke to start. But he says 250 00:18:11,610 --> 00:18:16,530 here, and I would think most companies would want to go in 251 00:18:16,530 --> 00:18:20,880 this direction, because, you know, what does IBM want to do? 252 00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:25,050 Do they want to provide it technology solutions? Or do they 253 00:18:25,050 --> 00:18:31,740 want to worry about some, you know, somebody's perceived 254 00:18:31,770 --> 00:18:36,570 slight or micro aggression that may not even exist, except for 255 00:18:36,570 --> 00:18:40,530 only the head of the person who thinks they're a victim. Anyway, 256 00:18:41,790 --> 00:18:44,340 this guy says the biggest liability that comes with hiring 257 00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:49,230 graduates from places like Harvard, Haverford, where he's 258 00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:54,420 from he graduated from is that they have both colleges. So I'm 259 00:18:54,420 --> 00:18:59,100 not just mispronouncing haber, Ford, or Hereford, and Harvard. 260 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,170 They've been socialized to panic over pseudo crises, talk of 261 00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:08,220 systemic racism, fixation on pronouns inculcate in young 262 00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:12,420 people, an apocalyptic urgency, a mentality that often disrupts 263 00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:15,450 the workplace and encourages navel gazing about diversity, 264 00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:19,380 inclusion, and other ill defined notions that are far removed 265 00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:22,260 from the main work of his organization, which is good 266 00:19:22,260 --> 00:19:26,700 writing, good editing and good arguments. He says a few years 267 00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:30,780 ago, a student a student, a student at an Ivy League school 268 00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:34,410 told him let me let me just read the quote from his article. A 269 00:19:34,410 --> 00:19:38,190 few years ago, a student at an Ivy League school told me quote, 270 00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:41,160 the first things you learn your freshman year is never to say 271 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:45,210 what you're thinking unquote. The institution He attended 272 00:19:45,210 --> 00:19:48,360 claims to train the world's future leaders from what the 273 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,120 young man reports the opposite is true. The school is training 274 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:55,830 future self sensors, which means future followers. So if you're 275 00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:59,070 too woke, and you're, you know, trying to get hired in certain 276 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:05,700 companies, He might want to either on wake or on woke, you 277 00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:12,150 know and see the world as it really exists, you know, or you 278 00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:16,230 might not get hired. And you'll never know, you know, that kind 279 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:21,270 of discrimination will happen internally. You'll just never 280 00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:24,750 know you'll you'll show up. They'll ask you some questions 281 00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:29,880 and based on those answers, and in your interview, they'll just 282 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,370 pass any go to the next person. The big story this this past 283 00:20:35,370 --> 00:20:43,530 week was the What do they call it? The having such a brain fart 284 00:20:43,530 --> 00:20:53,130 right now? What do they call a big stupid story? I don't know. 285 00:20:53,550 --> 00:20:56,190 It was a bombshell bombshell report. I don't know who it was 286 00:20:56,190 --> 00:20:59,790 that a pro publica or pro publica, I hear it pronounced 287 00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:03,840 both ways. And I don't know which I prefer pro publica where 288 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,690 they received a whole bunch of tax returns from people like 289 00:21:10,350 --> 00:21:14,970 Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg, 290 00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:20,460 and Jeff Bezos. And they were making a big stink and how 291 00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:30,420 wealthy these people are. And you know, what they do here? The 292 00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:37,020 story was not it wasn't enlightening at all. It was 293 00:21:37,020 --> 00:21:41,370 really kind of disgusting. And not because they obtained 294 00:21:41,370 --> 00:21:46,950 personal IRS records of these wealthy people. It was 295 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:51,180 disgusting, because they are preying upon an ignorant 296 00:21:51,180 --> 00:21:56,160 American public that has no idea how they're being taxed or what 297 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,330 is being taxed. They just hear this is a wealthy guy, he paid X 298 00:22:00,330 --> 00:22:05,280 number of dollars in income taxes. And that percentage is 299 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,410 some low percent. So he's not paying his fair share. That is 300 00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:15,870 such a load of horseshit. And if you have if you look at their 301 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,600 wealth and their income, and that's what you come across 302 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,580 with, you're being extremely ignorant. Because the only thing 303 00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:32,160 pro publica uncovered in this report. Is that income taxes, 304 00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:38,760 taxes, income. I know it sounds stupid 305 00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:44,850 to have to even say that. But people do not understand what an 306 00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:50,700 income tax is an income tax taxes, your income, people 307 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:57,120 receiving paychecks. Now, other things are added into income 308 00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,260 like dividends and capital gains, but those are not 309 00:23:01,290 --> 00:23:05,670 technically income taxes. A capital gains tax is a tax on 310 00:23:05,670 --> 00:23:11,730 capital gains, not on income. A dividend tax is a tax on 311 00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:18,480 dividends, not on income. And that's why income taxes you 312 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:24,450 could raise them to be 100%, you could raise it would be 99%. And 313 00:23:24,450 --> 00:23:27,450 that income tax rate will not affect people like Warren 314 00:23:27,450 --> 00:23:30,150 Buffett Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff 315 00:23:30,150 --> 00:23:35,190 Bezos, because they don't make what would be considered income. 316 00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:42,180 They have wealth. And you can take you know, somebody like 317 00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:48,060 Bezos he could take you know, he could cash out let's say he 318 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:56,700 cashes out a billion dollars. Okay, takes it out in stock. He 319 00:23:56,700 --> 00:24:02,460 pays whatever capital gains rate is on that stock. I don't 320 00:24:02,490 --> 00:24:05,760 remember what the current capital gains rate is capital 321 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:16,800 gains tax. capital gains tax rate 2021. Let's see. Of course 322 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:23,040 I can't find the stupid answer. Very easy. Stupid Motley Fool 323 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,370 has got a whole bunch of crap here. I just want it simple. 324 00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:34,440 That's what I get for using Duck Duck go. capital gains tax rate 325 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:49,380 2021. Alright, it maxes out right now. At 20%. So out of a 326 00:24:49,380 --> 00:25:02,520 billion dollars you know, he's gonna pay 20% of that. So 10% of 327 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:12,480 a billion is 100 million. So $200 million in tax. That leaves 328 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:20,670 him still with 800 million $800 million. I didn't do the math 329 00:25:20,670 --> 00:25:24,930 earlier, you pull out a calculator. I'm sure that 330 00:25:24,930 --> 00:25:28,200 sounded great if you're listening in headphones, opening 331 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:28,620 the door. 332 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:41,280 So 800 million. I don't even know if you can do this. But 333 00:25:41,310 --> 00:25:46,650 let's say you want to put it in a savings account. Right now, if 334 00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:53,100 you look at synchrony bank synchrony bank.com, they are 335 00:25:53,100 --> 00:26:01,500 giving you a half a percent annual percentage rate ever 336 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:06,210 present used to be over 2% and a half percent. So you take that 337 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:14,670 $800 million dollars, multiply that by half a percent. And that 338 00:26:14,670 --> 00:26:24,270 gives you a cool $4 million a year. So he could do that. Put 339 00:26:24,270 --> 00:26:28,650 it in a savings account. Okay, interest in dividend tax, he's 340 00:26:28,650 --> 00:26:32,040 gonna he's gonna pay some small tax on that. But he's gonna be 341 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,610 pulling down $4 million a year just to let it sit there and to 342 00:26:35,610 --> 00:26:38,430 sit in a rig what would traditionally be like a passbook 343 00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:43,650 savings account. That's why income taxes don't matter to 344 00:26:43,650 --> 00:26:52,830 them. You could do a wealth tax. But a wealth tax is difficult. 345 00:26:53,460 --> 00:27:01,050 Because how do you value wealth? You know, if you have cash and 346 00:27:01,050 --> 00:27:03,390 stocks sitting in an account, you know, you've got a brokerage 347 00:27:03,390 --> 00:27:07,530 account, you got the cash in a in a bank account. Those are 348 00:27:07,530 --> 00:27:10,950 easy. You know, and even a brokerage account that will go 349 00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:13,560 up and down in value depending on the value of the stocks held 350 00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:18,150 stocks and bonds held. But real estate, other types of physical 351 00:27:18,150 --> 00:27:24,480 assets. Those are almost what anybody says they are, you know, 352 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,470 there's there's a range. So you could say a house, you know, a 353 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:31,320 house in a neighborhood say, you know, it's worth half a million 354 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,060 dollars. But if somebody wants to come in, suddenly buy it for 355 00:27:36,270 --> 00:27:44,010 750,000 kind of changes things. You know, or say the 356 00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:48,000 neighborhood goes down. And now this half a million dollar house 357 00:27:48,150 --> 00:27:52,530 is only worth about 300,000. This did happen in 2008, if you 358 00:27:52,530 --> 00:27:57,240 remember, not that long ago, where the price of real estate 359 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,240 just plummeted homes. Because there were so many so many 360 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,160 foreclosures and so many homes on the market. That houses that 361 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,550 were previously half a million bucks, they lost a couple 362 00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:13,410 $100,000 in value. So if somebody was applying for a 363 00:28:13,410 --> 00:28:18,360 loan, to buy a house, before that, say in 2005 2006, they 364 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:21,660 took out a half a million dollar loan, they bought a house. And 365 00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:28,410 now in 2008, the price plummets to 300,000. And now the home 366 00:28:28,410 --> 00:28:31,410 buyer is underwater, they technically owe more than what 367 00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:37,950 the house is worth. Did they lie on their application? It was 368 00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:44,220 there is their wealth higher than what they're currently 369 00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:47,760 claiming because of the loss of value in the house. And this is 370 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,330 why wealth to me is difficult to tax. You know, and when they 371 00:28:51,330 --> 00:28:56,040 look at somebody like Trump, the current investigation happening 372 00:28:56,070 --> 00:28:59,880 against against him in New York, where, you know, they're, 373 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:02,100 they're claiming that for insurance purposes, he 374 00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,160 downplayed the value of properties. And for loans, he 375 00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:08,460 played up the value of his properties. That's that's just 376 00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:13,050 business. That's just what people do. You know, if you're 377 00:29:13,050 --> 00:29:16,500 looking to get a loan, you're going to want to maximize that 378 00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:22,110 loan. So you know, you're going to want to say okay, you can 379 00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:25,440 always get an appraisal, that'll give you a high end of a range 380 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,990 that you're looking for, you know, and then for insurance 381 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:31,050 insurance, you want to pay as little as possible because 382 00:29:31,290 --> 00:29:33,390 you're not going to use insurance unless something bad 383 00:29:33,390 --> 00:29:39,750 happens. So you want to you know, downplay it so you've got 384 00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:43,200 a building in you know, most people they over insure anyway, 385 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,660 I think, I don't I don't think a whole lot of people under 386 00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,270 insure, but you want the value to be played down. So your 387 00:29:48,270 --> 00:29:52,620 premiums are less. It's just smart business, you know, and 388 00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:55,680 you can't you can't really criminalize that if you do it. 389 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:05,670 We're in trouble but So pro publica, you know, they go 390 00:30:05,670 --> 00:30:12,210 through what each of these guys pays in, in taxes, and they give 391 00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:16,500 some new calculation of effective tax rate that takes 392 00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:18,960 their wealth into consideration. But you can't take wealth into 393 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,630 consideration when it comes to income tax. Because right now, 394 00:30:21,630 --> 00:30:28,680 we don't have a wealth tax. And you cannot include the, you 395 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:35,400 know, the value of assets. When you're trying to figure out the, 396 00:30:37,050 --> 00:30:41,940 you know, tax rate effective tax rate. But when you, you know, 397 00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:44,670 they had the numbers in there, what they paid in taxes, and it 398 00:30:44,670 --> 00:30:48,810 was an obscene amount of money that they had to pay. And what 399 00:30:48,810 --> 00:30:52,830 the article doesn't take into consideration. Let's just take 400 00:30:52,830 --> 00:30:56,400 Bezos, for instance. Because he was a target. 401 00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:08,400 What? What is he contributed to the US economy to the world 402 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,540 economy, as compared to what they believed he should be 403 00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:13,140 taxed? 404 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:26,490 not sound like my dog was crying. But think about that. 405 00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:30,990 Basil opens up a distribution center someplace. How many jobs 406 00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:36,420 has he just added? How many people now are providing for 407 00:31:36,420 --> 00:31:39,510 their families paying for college? buying goods and 408 00:31:39,510 --> 00:31:47,700 services? Just in one location. I mean, you look at all of it. 409 00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:53,610 You look at Blue Origin. Hold on, she is crying. Hold on one 410 00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:55,500 second. I gotta go get it open the door for 411 00:32:02,940 --> 00:32:16,440 right. Rex is in the house. All right. Rex is in the house. 412 00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:19,200 Sorry about that. But I could just hear her crying. I don't 413 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,150 know if you could pick it up on the microphone. But I could hear 414 00:32:21,150 --> 00:32:24,660 her crying. It was just stupid. Yeah, how much? How much 415 00:32:24,690 --> 00:32:31,200 economic activity have these people put into the world? Just 416 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,540 think about that, just for a second, Warren Buffett, Bill 417 00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:39,780 Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos? You 418 00:32:39,780 --> 00:32:46,500 know, is it in the trillions, all combined. It's an enormous 419 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,940 amount of economic activity, those people just by doing what 420 00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:54,600 they do, what they have done. You know, and I'm not the 421 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,580 biggest fan of any of these people. But you cannot deny the 422 00:32:59,580 --> 00:33:05,190 accomplishments and you cannot deny the economic activity that 423 00:33:05,190 --> 00:33:10,500 they've put into the world. And it to me it far outweighs any of 424 00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:15,330 this income tax bullshit. If we want if we want to have some 425 00:33:15,330 --> 00:33:21,600 type of a fair tax. First of all, don't tax income or habits 426 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,400 severely limited. Because attacks attacks is designed to 427 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,700 limit an economic and economic activity. When you tax 428 00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:33,540 something, you get less of it. That's why they have sin taxes. 429 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,470 You know, when you tax look at cigarettes, cigarettes are 430 00:33:37,470 --> 00:33:41,730 taxed, you know, through the wazoo. So people, fewer people 431 00:33:41,730 --> 00:33:44,550 smoke, the only people that smoke now Are they really want 432 00:33:44,550 --> 00:33:49,470 to smoke because it's not cheap. or alcohol taxes, they always 433 00:33:49,470 --> 00:33:53,250 lump on more taxes to to limit the consumption of alcohol. Same 434 00:33:53,250 --> 00:33:57,540 thing with gasoline. If they want you to drive less, they'll 435 00:33:57,540 --> 00:34:02,220 raise the gas tax. It's not just a revenue generator, it's also a 436 00:34:02,220 --> 00:34:07,560 behavior modification system. So you know, what, what should we 437 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,270 do, we should replace the income tax, either with a flat tax of 438 00:34:12,270 --> 00:34:19,800 very low flat tax or no tax at all, and move to consumption 439 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,690 taxes. Because who spends more who spends more wealthy people 440 00:34:24,690 --> 00:34:30,630 or poor people? Now we can play around with that consumption tax 441 00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:35,640 and tax food at a very low rate. You know, groceries, maybe, 442 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,950 maybe not food in general because you know, you're not 443 00:34:37,950 --> 00:34:42,090 going to want to do that with eating out like restaurants and 444 00:34:42,090 --> 00:34:45,390 things like that. But tax, you know, maybe groceries, grocery 445 00:34:45,390 --> 00:34:49,890 stores, tax, those are very low rate. You don't have just a 446 00:34:49,890 --> 00:34:54,240 tiered level of retail consumption taxes. So that way, 447 00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:57,900 wealthy people who spend and they spend a lot they'll pay 448 00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,350 more in tax. Now. We already have of sales taxes, but we 449 00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:07,080 don't have a national sales tax. And the sales taxes are 450 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:13,560 relatively low depending on where you live. But this way to 451 00:35:13,590 --> 00:35:19,830 human beings we can better moderate or modify our 452 00:35:19,830 --> 00:35:27,810 consumption behavior if there's a tax added to it you know, in 453 00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:31,140 that way as well, you're not penalized when you make more 454 00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:36,630 money because what do you know people who make a lot of money 455 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,740 put more money back out into the system some some people are 456 00:35:40,770 --> 00:35:43,170 safe, you know, big Savers, they put it away but rich people 457 00:35:43,170 --> 00:35:46,770 rarely take money and shove it into a mattress and it just sits 458 00:35:46,770 --> 00:35:50,490 there forever. They put it out there into the world to either 459 00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:58,560 make them more money you know, or to buy goods and services. So 460 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,020 to me that's that's the fair way of doing it. The only thing pro 461 00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:12,060 publica did is just prove that income tax taxes income. Oh, 462 00:36:12,060 --> 00:36:17,460 let's see. Okay, I was perusing other news and I came across Oh, 463 00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:21,000 I forgot to record on my podrick So where am I at home I'm 464 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:27,390 already at 36 minutes while it's time flying. I just ran across 465 00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:30,420 this video and ice live in the Chicago area so I had watched a 466 00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:34,650 lot of W Gen news and discovered how much I miss it because they 467 00:36:34,650 --> 00:36:39,000 have a nice banter. I don't know it's just there. It's all very 468 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,310 Chicago's week on at the forefront live will talk to you 469 00:36:41,310 --> 00:36:44,730 Chicago medicine me This is a 14 heartstrings figure, you know 470 00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:47,220 the pace. You know, I really hated from the surgeon who 471 00:36:47,220 --> 00:36:51,300 helped pioneer this technique, all that mute that I hate when 472 00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:56,910 they have pre roll ads. I just hate it here. All right. This is 473 00:36:56,910 --> 00:37:00,870 from the wjc Morning News. It's got here the number one question 474 00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:01,620 people under this 475 00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,730 video too long to play the whole thing. Julian channel 70 of the 476 00:37:05,730 --> 00:37:12,480 homeless. There was a controversy recently in Chicago 477 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:20,490 where one of the most favored sports casters or favorite 478 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:28,980 sports casters was fired because of comments he made at the end 479 00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:33,060 of a sports segment. I can't even remember what it was, but 480 00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:36,150 it was Mark Mark Jean Greco. He's I've watched them forever. 481 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,010 And he made some comment about Cheryl Burton being a ditzy 482 00:37:41,010 --> 00:37:43,770 decorator or something for some reality show that he would like 483 00:37:43,770 --> 00:37:47,370 to put together. It was just a joke. And I guess she complained 484 00:37:47,370 --> 00:37:49,710 at least that's the story. She complained to her bosses and 485 00:37:49,710 --> 00:37:53,010 ended up with him getting suspended. And later, they came 486 00:37:53,010 --> 00:37:56,250 to an agreement where he left the show, you know, essentially 487 00:37:56,250 --> 00:38:03,600 he was just fired. But here's the agenda. was amazing. 488 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,300 Unknown: All right, really made that party already. The next 489 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:09,270 item on the differences between working ew g n and ABC seven. 490 00:38:09,930 --> 00:38:14,100 Here you can call your co anchor any name you want. Right Right 491 00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:18,510 And speaking of traffic of Val I think I see an accident on top 492 00:38:18,510 --> 00:38:26,880 of Robin said great job. Yeah with everyone but me. He forgot 493 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,110 about the part that she's a whore. 494 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:35,670 Kevin Bae: Morning News for that day and age well. Anyway, they 495 00:38:35,970 --> 00:38:39,270 they're just an entertaining show. It's very Chicago filled 496 00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:42,390 with people. They're very Chicago and it's something that 497 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:48,120 you don't find anywhere else. It made me miss watching the Nine 498 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,270 O'Clock News and occasionally the morning news. I didn't watch 499 00:38:51,270 --> 00:38:56,550 a lot of it. Let's see. Oh, then we have racial harmony in New 500 00:38:56,550 --> 00:39:07,260 York City. I don't know where this is. Okay. Apologize for the 501 00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:15,570 bad language. I want to start welcome on the sidewalk. So it's 502 00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:24,840 okay for him to call an Asian carp a chink. But, you know, 503 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:34,230 Hunter Biden can use the N word in texts. But as mere mortals, 504 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:40,440 you can't go anywhere near that word. So the whole world 505 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,870 sometimes feels like it's falling apart and you get this. 506 00:39:43,170 --> 00:39:49,620 He's right in this guy's face. No, no. I'm good. All right, all 507 00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:55,860 right. How is it under any circumstance? How is that right? 508 00:39:55,860 --> 00:39:58,950 And then later on, somebody calls them out for being racist 509 00:39:58,950 --> 00:40:03,720 and he's he spews out black people can't be racist. Anyway, 510 00:40:05,220 --> 00:40:12,720 critical race theory is in the news all over the place. This 511 00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,350 reminds me a bit of Common Core, although Common Core did become 512 00:40:16,350 --> 00:40:21,870 curriculum in a lot of places. critical race theory is 513 00:40:21,870 --> 00:40:25,890 something to me that should not be taught in the elementary or 514 00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:28,230 high school levels, you can discuss this in college all you 515 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:32,250 want. But to include this kind of stuff in elementary in high 516 00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:36,180 school, is indoctrination. You know, Elementary in high school, 517 00:40:36,510 --> 00:40:45,600 all this should be concentrated on his math reading. And, and 518 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:52,650 writing sorry, I just had another brain fart anyway. You 519 00:40:52,650 --> 00:40:58,380 know, at a time when, especially in big city schools, kids that 520 00:40:58,380 --> 00:41:02,910 are graduating high school, can't do math, and they can't 521 00:41:02,910 --> 00:41:07,590 read at grade level. So they if they do enter college, they're 522 00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:10,740 stuck doing all kinds of remedial work just to catch up. 523 00:41:11,010 --> 00:41:15,810 So their first year in college is catching up to where they 524 00:41:15,810 --> 00:41:19,680 should have been when they graduated high school. So 525 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,020 introducing something like critical race theory, which 526 00:41:22,110 --> 00:41:26,310 plenty of people want to discuss it as a theory of systemic 527 00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:30,840 racism, whatever, fine, but leave that to college, where at 528 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,100 least in college, you have at least a little bit more 529 00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:41,670 maturity, you know, you're 18 at minimum. And you've Have you 530 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:44,970 have a little bit of life experience. And at least now you 531 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,940 you know how to read and critically, critically think 532 00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:56,160 about what you're reading, you know, do some basic math. And 533 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,630 then you can, you know, delve into these deeper subjects. You 534 00:42:00,630 --> 00:42:05,460 know, all these subjects that deal with politics versus, you 535 00:42:05,460 --> 00:42:12,510 know, elementary education should be thrown out all of it. 536 00:42:14,850 --> 00:42:21,870 So, you had a woman in I think it was a Virginia School. And 537 00:42:21,870 --> 00:42:28,050 she came from China. And she grew up during Mao's Mao, Mao 538 00:42:28,050 --> 00:42:29,550 Tse Tung's, China, 539 00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:33,570 Unknown: I've been very alarmed about what's going on in our 540 00:42:33,570 --> 00:42:36,360 school, you are now teaching, training our children to be 541 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,780 social justice warriors, and to load our country and our 542 00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:43,380 history. Growing up in Mao's China, or the same, we're 543 00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:47,760 familiar, the communist regime use the same critical theory to 544 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,610 divide people. The only difference is the use class 545 00:42:50,610 --> 00:42:52,980 instead of race. during the Cultural Revolution, our 546 00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:56,400 witness, students and teachers can turn against each other, we 547 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,640 change school names to be politically correct. And we were 548 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,410 taught to denounce our heritage, destroy anything that is not 549 00:43:04,410 --> 00:43:09,240 communist, oats, statues, books, and anything else. And we are 550 00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:12,870 also encouraged to report on each other just like the student 551 00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:16,980 equity ambassador program, and the bias reporting system. This 552 00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:20,280 is indeed the American version of the Chinese Communist, the 553 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,090 Chinese Cultural Revolution. The critical race theory has its 554 00:43:24,090 --> 00:43:27,450 roots in Cultural Marxism, it should have no place in our 555 00:43:27,450 --> 00:43:27,870 school. 556 00:43:29,369 --> 00:43:31,889 Kevin Bae: So she handed it to her. She had a pretty good 557 00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:34,649 amount of applause, a lot of people raising their hands. I 558 00:43:34,649 --> 00:43:36,479 don't know why they're raising their hands and on applauding 559 00:43:36,509 --> 00:43:40,649 that was a weird thing when you see this video. But yeah, I 560 00:43:40,649 --> 00:43:45,149 agree with her. You know, this kind of stuff should be just not 561 00:43:45,149 --> 00:43:47,879 taught at elementary level because the kids can understand 562 00:43:47,879 --> 00:43:52,049 it. So if they can't understand the concepts of what being 563 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:56,459 talked about, you know, when it's being pushed on them, it 564 00:43:56,459 --> 00:44:00,899 then becomes indoctrination. What they should be learning is 565 00:44:01,049 --> 00:44:09,899 the traditional meal math, you know, reading and how to write 566 00:44:11,369 --> 00:44:13,379 you know, maybe I should learn how to talk but 567 00:44:18,780 --> 00:44:24,210 they just lacked the maturity to discuss this in a in a 568 00:44:24,210 --> 00:44:31,020 meaningful way. And I'm not saying that, I believe in 569 00:44:31,020 --> 00:44:34,830 critical race theory because, you know, I don't I think it's a 570 00:44:34,830 --> 00:44:40,170 lot of gobbledygook. But I'm also saying that, that saying 571 00:44:40,170 --> 00:44:42,810 that you can't talk about it, and that maybe you know that it 572 00:44:42,810 --> 00:44:46,170 doesn't, as a theory, you know, that some people want to put 573 00:44:46,170 --> 00:44:49,710 forward that you can't talk about that in school or teach it 574 00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:54,690 as a thing. You know, but it that belongs at university. It 575 00:44:54,690 --> 00:45:01,620 doesn't belong in high school or grammar school. The CDC this 576 00:45:01,620 --> 00:45:04,830 week. Here's some COVID News. It was kind of laid out in the 577 00:45:04,830 --> 00:45:09,540 COVID news this week, at least for me. They're acknowledging 578 00:45:09,690 --> 00:45:18,930 that inflammation of the heart seems to be a thing after the 579 00:45:18,930 --> 00:45:23,700 second dose of Pfizer or Madonna. Here's what it says 580 00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:26,250 from CNBC. There have been a higher than expected number of 581 00:45:26,250 --> 00:45:28,890 cases of heart inflammation and 16 to 24 year olds after 582 00:45:28,890 --> 00:45:31,770 receiving their second dose of Pfizer or Madonna's COVID-19 583 00:45:31,770 --> 00:45:37,200 vaccines. They cite preliminary data from its vaccine safety 584 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,920 monitor system, the CDC has received reports of 275 cases in 585 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,090 that age group as of May 31. The agency center presentation 586 00:45:45,090 --> 00:45:47,670 prepared for Food and Drug Administration advisory panel 587 00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:51,900 meeting Thursday, scientists expected between 10 and 102 588 00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:55,710 cases of Myo carditis or pericarditis were the heart 589 00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:58,950 muscle or lining this route or the lining surrounding it became 590 00:45:58,950 --> 00:46:04,770 inflamed, according to the CDC. Does anybody remember when the 591 00:46:04,770 --> 00:46:09,360 Johnson and Johnson vaccine was pulled? Because six people got 592 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,520 blood clots at a 6.8 million doses? I know a lot more doses 593 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,770 have been given a Pfizer and Madonna. But, you know, I don't 594 00:46:19,770 --> 00:46:22,320 know what the number is because I haven't seen it yet. In the 595 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,650 number of teens that have been vaccinated. So if you have 275 596 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,910 cases of heart inflammation, it's more than double what they 597 00:46:32,910 --> 00:46:36,150 were expecting. Don't you think there should be a halt in 598 00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:39,720 vaccinating children, you know, and yet Madonna has failed to 599 00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:46,620 expand, there's two children 12 years old and an older you know, 600 00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:49,860 they got to stop this now. Because children aren't even at 601 00:46:49,860 --> 00:46:55,260 high risk. And asymptomatic spread is bullshit. It's been 602 00:46:55,260 --> 00:46:58,110 said so many times before and now it's the only time that 603 00:46:58,110 --> 00:47:02,790 they're that they're trying to push asymptomatic spread. It's 604 00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:07,860 not a thing. The Wall Street Journal had a piece about the 605 00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:11,880 CDC, and it was an opinion piece, talking about 606 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:17,040 hospitalizations. This is what they said the Centers for 607 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,590 Disease Control and Prevention released a report last week 608 00:47:19,590 --> 00:47:21,900 warning that adolescent hospitalizations due to 609 00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:25,380 COVID-19. Were on the rise. The media picked up the message and 610 00:47:25,380 --> 00:47:29,520 ran with it but it isn't true. The CDC misrepresented the data 611 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,890 and play down a more important finding that provides further 612 00:47:31,890 --> 00:47:35,340 evidence that pandemic control measures are likely having a 613 00:47:35,340 --> 00:47:42,720 serious adverse impact on young people's mental health. So it 614 00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:45,240 isn't true, but they say the CDC misrepresented they didn't 615 00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:50,040 misrepresent. They lied. They flat out lied. And here it is 616 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:54,000 the Wall Street Journal goes on to say the CDC truncated thanks, 617 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,640 Godfrey. That's my Labrador. The CDC truncated its analysis at 618 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,880 the precise date April 24. That would cast an increase in teen 619 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,570 hospitalization in the worst possible light. The 10% rise in 620 00:48:06,570 --> 00:48:09,210 early March that attracted so many headlines was similar to 621 00:48:09,210 --> 00:48:12,810 rises and other age groups, and had declined sharply by late 622 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,320 April, adolescent hospitalizations for COVID-19 623 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,610 were back down 2.6 per 100,000. By late May, before the CDC 624 00:48:20,610 --> 00:48:23,640 report was published and well below the rate of 2.6 for the 625 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,570 adults for the adult US population. Moreover, COVID 626 00:48:27,570 --> 00:48:31,530 cases among children in 2021 have now fallen by 84%. And 627 00:48:31,530 --> 00:48:36,390 hospitalizations are down by 69% since January, thanks largely to 628 00:48:36,390 --> 00:48:43,380 adult vaccination. So they got to follow the science unless 629 00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:47,610 they want to ignore the science. We got to follow the data unless 630 00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,230 they want to ignore the data. 631 00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:03,450 You know, and then they go on to ignore the depression that teens 632 00:49:03,450 --> 00:49:09,420 are going through with dealing with lockdown. Again, according 633 00:49:09,420 --> 00:49:13,110 to The Wall Street Journal 20% of teen hospitalizations in the 634 00:49:13,110 --> 00:49:16,500 study between January 1 and march 31 were for psychiatric 635 00:49:16,530 --> 00:49:20,040 emergencies, not COVID. Although pandemic related closures have 636 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,650 made it difficult to study the mental health of children during 637 00:49:22,650 --> 00:49:25,710 the past year the available data point to a crisis. lockdowns and 638 00:49:25,710 --> 00:49:28,710 school closures have led to greater incidences of obesity 639 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,430 and eating disorders according to experts at the Stanford 640 00:49:33,210 --> 00:49:38,070 Children's Health Network. So they just omitted these things. 641 00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:46,200 Why? And you know, why doesn't the Wall Street Journal just 642 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,330 come straight out and say it they lied? They're not 643 00:49:48,330 --> 00:49:51,270 misrepresenting anything. They're just lying to the 644 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:58,230 people. And you know, Dr. Fauci is his liar and chief this guy 645 00:49:58,230 --> 00:50:02,040 just says anything depending on Whichever the way he wants the 646 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:11,520 wind to blow moving on here in Georgia. I moved to Gwinnett 647 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,970 County, Georgia from Cook County, Illinois. Okay, I lived 648 00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:20,280 in a northern suburb of Chicago. And now I'm in a North Eastern 649 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:25,260 suburb of Atlanta. So I'm in Gwinnett. County, so I don't 650 00:50:25,260 --> 00:50:31,830 live in Fulton County, but it seems that Fulton County has a 651 00:50:31,830 --> 00:50:35,130 lot in common with Cook County, Illinois when it comes to voter 652 00:50:35,130 --> 00:50:41,550 fraud. So here is Hold on one second, I have to clear my 653 00:50:41,550 --> 00:50:48,240 throat. There is an article in real clear investigations calm. 654 00:50:50,970 --> 00:50:54,300 And it's got all kinds of funny business that it's happening 655 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,660 with their mail in ballots. 656 00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:08,370 They're supposed to be audited. And the audit. what was supposed 657 00:51:08,370 --> 00:51:11,070 to happen is county officials were supposed to scan these 658 00:51:11,070 --> 00:51:16,800 ballots and hand them over to auditors. The original ballots 659 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,750 were never supposed to leave anybody's hands. And when they 660 00:51:21,780 --> 00:51:25,830 before they started this process, the place where the 661 00:51:25,830 --> 00:51:29,100 ballots were stored, was supposed to have a 24 hour 662 00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:37,290 guard. Somehow, conveniently, prior to the audit, the 24 hour 663 00:51:37,290 --> 00:51:40,530 guard that was supposed to be standing there, they left their 664 00:51:40,530 --> 00:51:48,570 post, and exactly at that time when they left their post. The 665 00:51:48,570 --> 00:51:54,660 place was left empty that anybody could go in. Now, 666 00:51:54,660 --> 00:51:58,230 supposedly things were locked down. But it was just so 667 00:51:58,230 --> 00:52:01,440 convenient. And nobody knows whether anything was tampered 668 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,580 with and whether anybody looked at anything or stole anything. 669 00:52:06,030 --> 00:52:06,810 Nobody knows. 670 00:52:11,850 --> 00:52:16,410 And here's one of the things. They have people that are 671 00:52:16,410 --> 00:52:21,990 testifying and stating that there were problems with the 672 00:52:21,990 --> 00:52:26,100 ballots there. There's one woman a poll manager Susie voyles. 673 00:52:29,070 --> 00:52:32,010 According to the story, when Fulton County Georgia poll 674 00:52:32,010 --> 00:52:34,830 manager Susie Boyle sorted through a large stack of mail in 675 00:52:34,830 --> 00:52:37,560 ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd 676 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,070 pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph arbeiten. 677 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,330 One after another the absentee votes contained perfectly filled 678 00:52:45,330 --> 00:52:49,170 in ovals for Biden, except that each of the darkened bubbles 679 00:52:49,170 --> 00:52:52,650 featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a 680 00:52:52,650 --> 00:52:55,740 tiny Crescent, indicating they've been marked with toner 681 00:52:55,740 --> 00:52:59,220 ink instead of a pen or pencil. So somebody was printing them 682 00:52:59,220 --> 00:53:06,060 off apparently. But nobody can look at them. You know, there's 683 00:53:06,090 --> 00:53:09,810 nobody wants to investigate. Who knows what's going to be fun, 684 00:53:09,810 --> 00:53:13,500 but you know, I, I didn't know stuff like that was happening. 685 00:53:14,130 --> 00:53:17,040 In other states, places like this. I assumed it would be 686 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:24,450 happening more in New York, New Jersey, la you know, DC, Boston. 687 00:53:25,620 --> 00:53:28,320 But down south, I didn't think that they would have these kind 688 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:33,900 of voting shenanigans, but I guess it's just everywhere. Back 689 00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:38,430 to some COVID News, J and J. You know, they're they're Johnson 690 00:53:38,430 --> 00:53:43,590 and Johnson, their vaccine was about to expire this month. But 691 00:53:43,590 --> 00:53:48,990 like, like Groundhog Day, when the vaccine vial came out, and 692 00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:51,690 the FDA looked at it, it must have I don't know, when you see 693 00:53:51,690 --> 00:53:53,970 a shadow or don't see a shadow, which one gives you six more 694 00:53:53,970 --> 00:53:59,550 weeks of winter. Anyway, the FDA just magically said, poof, your 695 00:53:59,550 --> 00:54:04,140 vaccine is no longer expiring. You've got six more weeks. 696 00:54:06,030 --> 00:54:11,370 That's kind of nice. Yeah, my father was in pharmaceuticals, 697 00:54:11,370 --> 00:54:17,820 he made pharmaceuticals, for Walgreens, you know, made cough 698 00:54:17,820 --> 00:54:24,420 medicines and all kinds of different over the counter and 699 00:54:24,660 --> 00:54:30,210 prescription drugs. So expiration dates, you know, 700 00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:35,550 they're not, you know, it's it's like, it's an artificial 701 00:54:35,550 --> 00:54:41,310 expiration date. It's like a best guess, I guess, as to when 702 00:54:41,310 --> 00:54:46,470 it's effective. You know, all all of these drugs generally, 703 00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:50,100 can be used far beyond the expiration date. You know, it's 704 00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:53,010 just most of the time, they don't break down into something 705 00:54:53,010 --> 00:54:57,240 harmful. What happens is they just become less effective. So I 706 00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:59,250 don't think it's a big deal. I just find it funny that you 707 00:54:59,250 --> 00:55:02,550 know, that Johnson and Johnson dollar stuff is going to expire 708 00:55:02,550 --> 00:55:08,700 the magically they just extend the expiration date on Camila 709 00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:17,790 Kamala Harris, what a week she had. Biden taps her to handle 710 00:55:17,790 --> 00:55:26,160 the border and the influx of illegal immigration. And just 711 00:55:26,190 --> 00:55:33,630 she's such an empty suit. And the big deal was in her 712 00:55:33,630 --> 00:55:36,600 interview with Lester Holt, where she just kept repeating 713 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,590 that we've been to the border. We've been to the border. We've 714 00:55:40,590 --> 00:55:43,830 been to the border, you haven't been to the border. And I 715 00:55:43,830 --> 00:55:49,860 haven't been to Europe. What an empty suit. What an empty suit. 716 00:55:50,370 --> 00:55:53,490 Where's, there's, there's one other topic I wanted to talk to 717 00:55:53,490 --> 00:55:57,330 you about. But let me just this is the section of that video to 718 00:55:57,330 --> 00:56:03,090 visit the border. face. She was dumbfounded by the question. You 719 00:56:03,090 --> 00:56:03,270 know. 720 00:56:04,949 --> 00:56:06,719 Unknown: We are going to the border. We've been to the 721 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,229 border. So this whole this whole this whole thing about the 722 00:56:10,229 --> 00:56:13,289 border? We've been to the border. We've been to the board. 723 00:56:13,290 --> 00:56:14,250 You haven't been to the board. 724 00:56:15,179 --> 00:56:19,799 And I haven't been to you? I don't know. I don't understand 725 00:56:19,799 --> 00:56:23,459 the point. I'm not just the board. Well, I 726 00:56:23,460 --> 00:56:25,770 mentioned because I know Republicans have certainly 727 00:56:25,770 --> 00:56:29,460 commend you on this. But democratic congressman Quasar 728 00:56:29,730 --> 00:56:32,970 has a border district is said to you and the president come. 729 00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:36,810 And I care about what's happening at the border. I'm in 730 00:56:36,810 --> 00:56:41,490 Guatemala, because my focus is dealing with the root causes of 731 00:56:41,490 --> 00:56:41,700 my 732 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,490 Kevin Bae: son and she recovered and, you know, that's where she 733 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,500 should have gone with that in the first place is that I'm 734 00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:50,160 dealing with the root causes of of the problem at the border, 735 00:56:50,490 --> 00:56:53,490 you know, that she'll get there eventually. But just I don't 736 00:56:53,490 --> 00:56:57,240 understand why she just doesn't go to the freakin border. And 737 00:56:57,240 --> 00:57:00,180 there's so much pressure and both it's not like it's gonna 738 00:57:00,180 --> 00:57:03,300 make a difference anyway. So you just go and you remove that 739 00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:06,870 argument from everybody's baloney, but she's such a dumb 740 00:57:06,870 --> 00:57:09,390 empty suit. We've been to super clean. 741 00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:11,160 Unknown: You haven't been to the border. 742 00:57:12,150 --> 00:57:16,620 And I haven't been to Europe. Listen, I I've been to the 743 00:57:16,620 --> 00:57:20,580 border before I will go again. But when I'm in Guatemala, 744 00:57:22,020 --> 00:57:25,500 Kevin Bae: dealing with her nervous laughter What's going 745 00:57:25,500 --> 00:57:30,720 on? Just gotta go. Under. So can you commit right now that you 746 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,720 will indeed visit the US Mexico border? And will you do it soon? 747 00:57:34,380 --> 00:57:37,530 Unknown: Jeremy, let me tell you something. Yes, I will. And I 748 00:57:37,530 --> 00:57:40,890 have before I said, I'm gonna go to the border. And when are you 749 00:57:40,890 --> 00:57:43,710 going to the border? Vice President ministration has 750 00:57:43,710 --> 00:57:48,450 asked. I'm not finished. She says that I'm going to the 751 00:57:48,450 --> 00:57:48,840 border. 752 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,620 Kevin Bae: I shouldn't say but she just sometimes seems so 753 00:57:52,620 --> 00:58:02,490 bitchy. Anyway, she just coming off is such a moron. I don't 754 00:58:02,490 --> 00:58:07,800 understand why she just doesn't go. Last thing I'll leave with 755 00:58:07,860 --> 00:58:12,000 is that I was watching this video. It was a conversation 756 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:21,450 with Cornel West and Glenn Lowry. And the other they they 757 00:58:21,450 --> 00:58:29,640 talk. How do I put it? It's either it's either, you know, 758 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,420 they're so smart that they're talking so far above me. Which 759 00:58:33,420 --> 00:58:37,140 is possible. Let's say it's not impossible. It's possible. You 760 00:58:37,140 --> 00:58:45,030 know, or Cornel West is just spewing a lot of gobbledygook. I 761 00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:47,790 don't think that's the case. You know, when he when he when he's 762 00:58:47,790 --> 00:58:54,330 got like a free flowing ideas, and then he's just free flowing 763 00:58:54,330 --> 00:58:58,830 with with what's coming out of his brain. It just sounds like 764 00:58:58,830 --> 00:59:02,700 such word salad sometimes. But it was still a very fascinating 765 00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:06,210 conversation. I think I need to rewatch it in order to really 766 00:59:06,540 --> 00:59:11,250 let it soak in. You know, I've read books written by Cornel 767 00:59:11,250 --> 00:59:15,570 West and he writes better than he talks which I think that's 768 00:59:15,570 --> 00:59:19,830 what I do. But sometimes to me sounds like he's saying so much, 769 00:59:19,830 --> 00:59:23,010 but I don't quite understand what he just said. 770 00:59:23,550 --> 00:59:25,710 Unknown: Alright, let's see what's going on is pathological 771 00:59:25,710 --> 00:59:31,320 in my blackness, we cannot judge the black experience. So that 772 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,590 point that and we have to situate it. We have to situate 773 00:59:34,590 --> 00:59:37,920 it within the larger forces, among which are economic and 774 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,520 political and institutional forces. We have to situate it. 775 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:45,000 I'm granting all of that these things I understand, but I still 776 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,800 have a point. We are responsible for how we live we are 777 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:56,370 responsible for how we raise our children to black people. We 778 00:59:56,370 --> 00:59:59,970 have to take responsibility for our lives. It is far too 779 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,430 seductive to allow the narrative, the story that we use 780 01:00:05,430 --> 01:00:09,180 to interpret our experience to become solely in singly our 781 01:00:09,180 --> 01:00:13,950 victimization. That's a deep mistake. It's a political 782 01:00:13,950 --> 01:00:17,160 mistake. More importantly, it's a spiritual mistake. Yeah, it's 783 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,730 an existential mistake? Absolutely. Absolutely. 784 01:00:21,150 --> 01:00:25,590 Absolutely, oh, we cannot allow the machinations of the forces 785 01:00:26,670 --> 01:00:34,470 up here to impede our embrace of that responsibility. And we 786 01:00:34,470 --> 01:00:39,990 cannot allow the narrative in the service of transitory 787 01:00:39,990 --> 01:00:43,950 political interests, to obscure the responsibilities or their 788 01:00:43,950 --> 01:00:50,340 stake here in our community. So I want you to situate my concern 789 01:00:50,340 --> 01:00:55,440 just expressed within both the failure of democracy point that 790 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,830 you're making about the forces up here, and the 791 01:00:58,830 --> 01:01:02,010 commercialization commodification point that 792 01:01:02,010 --> 01:01:04,890 you're making which two are valid points, but I think the 793 01:01:04,890 --> 01:01:09,060 clock is ticking on black people in America, the world is not 794 01:01:09,060 --> 01:01:11,130 standing still. And I'll stop I know I'm making the speech. But 795 01:01:11,130 --> 01:01:13,890 I really want you to react to the world as the Chinese are 796 01:01:13,890 --> 01:01:18,360 coming. American Empire is Cornell is fond of putting it 797 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:23,610 will not last forever, as true black people are in no position 798 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:28,110 to miss an opportunity to realize the full, productive 799 01:01:28,110 --> 01:01:30,540 possibilities of our human potential. 800 01:01:32,340 --> 01:01:34,380 Kevin Bae: I think everybody should go back and look at that, 801 01:01:34,380 --> 01:01:38,340 because they they talk about a whole wide range of subjects, 802 01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:44,970 from religion, to economics to capitalism, and socialism and 803 01:01:44,970 --> 01:01:50,190 communism. China, you know, victimhood as you, as you heard 804 01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:56,760 there, you know, that when people start out being a victim 805 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,490 before, you know, before they do anything else, you're already 806 01:01:59,490 --> 01:02:03,300 starting from behind. And I think that's the mental position 807 01:02:03,300 --> 01:02:07,230 that Glenn Lowry was basically talking about that you can find 808 01:02:07,230 --> 01:02:11,010 yourself very difficult to rise out of something if you believe 809 01:02:11,010 --> 01:02:16,020 you're a victim always being held out. But it was it was a 810 01:02:16,050 --> 01:02:19,830 hour long conversation. And to me, it was very interesting. And 811 01:02:19,860 --> 01:02:22,380 I will listen to that again, just so I can absorb it more. 812 01:02:22,890 --> 01:02:25,890 Cornel West is very entertaining speaker, but sometimes I just 813 01:02:25,890 --> 01:02:28,170 have no idea what he's saying. And I you know, he's probably 814 01:02:28,170 --> 01:02:33,630 just talking right over my head. So see, I had more to cover than 815 01:02:33,630 --> 01:02:39,480 I thought. You know, I was kind of amazed. I didn't realize I 816 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:44,670 blogged so many things this past week. So I don't even know what 817 01:02:44,670 --> 01:02:50,700 to call this, this episode, but it's getting late. So I'm going 818 01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:54,480 to close it there. See what I come up with next week. 819 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,050 Hopefully, things open up more. And everybody's a little bit 820 01:02:58,050 --> 01:03:05,400 happier as we stop wearing masks, and reclaim the freedoms 821 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,140 that we supposedly already have. 822 01:03:16,380 --> 01:03:19,860 I forgot to mention that.
