Well, good afternoon, and welcome to

8
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.560
the Bill Martini Show. Great to
have you with us. We've got doctor

9
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:49.359
Wilfred Riley going to be joining us. He is the author of three books

10
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.119
that I know of, probably more. Actually we always talk about taboo,

11
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:58.640
Ten Facts that you can't talk about, hate crime, hoax, and also

12
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.120
his new book book Lies My Liberal
Teacher Told Me, which is now ready

13
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.480
for pre order, and that book
especially is very appropriate because of the topic

14
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:15.120
and the topic today is that parents
are reclaiming their rights for their kid's sakes.

15
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.519
Let's welcome doctor Wilfred Riley, the
professor of political science at Kentucky State

16
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.840
University and the author of said three
books, will welcome the show. Good

17
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:27.480
to have you with us. Great
to be here, Bill. We always

18
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.760
enjoy working with the good about the
TV show. Well, yeah, this

19
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.920
is this is a maiden flight for
us. So well, we'll try and

20
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.239
do the best we can to behave
ourselves. Okay, am I one of

21
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.760
the first guests. Oh no,
no, no, you're I've been trying

22
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.519
to get you on this for I
think for almost two months. I think

23
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.079
this is the first time that you
were available. So but look at it's

24
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.920
always an honor to have this time
together, to elevate the conversation, because

25
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.680
you know, at the very heart
of all this is we want our audience

26
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:05.359
to be all the smart for the
impartation, especially if your wisdom and expertise,

27
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.039
and especially as it relates to education, it might be appropriate right off

28
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.800
the bat, you know your book
lies. My liberal teacher told me that

29
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:21.159
really kind of sets the stage for
where we are in today's education. Tell

30
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.360
our audience about this book, how
they can get their hands on it,

31
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.520
and why this was something that you
had to write. Yeah, I mean

32
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.159
in terms of how to get the
book without false modesty. I mean,

33
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.240
all my books have been best sellers
are close at least for a little bit,

34
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.479
you know, all praise and I
mean so you can find them pretty

35
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.960
much everywhere. This book is available
on Amazon for pre order. The first

36
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.360
two came out with Regnery, great
right leaning press. This one's coming out

37
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.400
with HarperCollins, which is even larger
on the national scale. It's pretty easy

38
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.800
to find. I would recommend either
Amazon or your local bookstore, but there

39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.400
you know, a dozen other options, good Reads and so on down the

40
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.879
line. And this book, I
mean, we'll get down in a little

41
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.199
more detail, I'm sure, but
really just it looks at this idea that

42
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.960
we constantly hear that Americans are being
lied to, kind of from the right,

43
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.719
like in Higher Ed. They're all
of these books Bury my Heart at

44
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.759
Wounded Knee, looking at you know, historical dishonesty about what Native Americans,

45
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.960
Mexican Americans did in the historical USA, you know, lies my teacher told

46
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.599
me, which is a very left
wing book that's written by a Marxist,

47
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.120
and it looks at that kind of
jingoistic education you might have gotten in the

48
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.840
sixties and the heartland. And I
started asking the look, kit's fair enough.

49
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.919
I mean, there obviously we're great
native and so on contributions and brave

50
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.560
leaders. On the other side,
sure, sure, But for the past

51
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.039
fifty years, I mean, people
that are on kind of the American center

52
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.199
left of controlled education and controlled media. So are they telling the truth?

53
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.240
Right? Why are we still hearing
about Emmett Till and not to make fun

54
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.400
of it? And so this book
looks at that like ten big narratives.

55
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.400
Are they real? Yeah? Can
this book balance it out a bit?

56
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.879
Well? I mean that would be
the hope that because like you and I've

57
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.120
always talked about is that we need
desparate conversation and participation. This is important,

58
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.680
you know, for us to be
able to grow in intellect and come

59
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.879
up with some better options. Right, Yeah, I think so. I

60
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.639
mean I have no problem with p
and I think this is true in general

61
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.360
for the American political right and center, Like I have no problem with people

62
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.279
on the left talking now they're they're
things like pornography and obscenity that are are

63
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.360
often banned by law. So I
mean, you can't have those things in

64
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.399
school libraries, that kind of thing, but you're not supposed to anyway.

65
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.560
Yeah, I mean, apparently they're
quite a few cases, but I mean

66
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.920
the point though, is like short
of that. I mean, I have

67
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.439
no problem with good faith liberals saying
they favor a different healthcare system or something.

68
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.079
And there was a recent article I
forget the journal, but it's called

69
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.600
even Frenchmen have accomplished that, and
it talked about national healthcare, and I

70
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.800
thought that was actually funny and sort
of a legitimate point from the other side.

71
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.759
So I think most most of us
quote unquote don't object to an open

72
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.839
discourse, and but the with that
is that a lot of people on the

73
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.879
other political side do. And so
to really have a fair exchange of ideas,

74
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:12.079
everyone needs to be able to exchange
ideas. You can't censor the union

75
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.399
guy or the liberal like admittedly we
used to in the thirties or forties.

76
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.480
But you also can't censor the large
majority of the country that's making points about

77
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:25.600
gender ideology or the quote unquote anti
racist movement or foreign policy that are just

78
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.120
accurate. So yeah, I'm very
glad to contribute to that conversation. I

79
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.279
also, I want to give Harper
Regnory as a conservative press but I mean

80
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.800
some credit for saying, well,
we're going to publish books like this.

81
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.399
I mean there's been a series of
these that have come out recently. I

82
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.480
mean, I think Lauren Bobert's releasing
a book Marco Rubio. So, I

83
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.079
mean, to have a discussion,
you have to have two people talking exactly.

84
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.439
Yeah, that's that's what the exchange
of ideas is all about. And

85
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.759
if we're going to solve the problem, we need to get all participants involved.

86
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.279
You and I've been talking about this
for age as will. We cannot

87
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.040
maintain our you know, position stands
in the silos of our lives, in

88
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.360
our echo chambers, because that doesn't
serve the grander purpose. I mean,

89
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.519
it's so frustrating, and I don't
know if we just have to get so

90
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.040
frustrated that our silos blow up.
Whatever, Well, thank god if that's

91
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.920
what happens, so that we can
talk about it. Because regardless if you

92
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.240
talk to the left or to the
right, they all agree it's not working.

93
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.680
Okay, all right, good observation. What do we need to do

94
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.240
in order to make it work?
Is that too tough a question to ask?

95
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.240
No, I think that's a really
valid question to ask. And I

96
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.240
think when you look at when America
has worked, and I will say a

97
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.879
lot of the things people complain about
today, like immigration. Now we need

98
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.560
to stop illegal immigration totally. Yeah, but I mean that the wave of

99
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.680
migration into the USA from you know, Ireland, southern Italy, if you

100
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.160
want a parallel today's Hispanic migration the
Black West Indies saw on. I mean,

101
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.959
that's been much greater at different times
in the past. So a lot

102
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.839
of a lot of the boogeymen that
people try out in terms of why the

103
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.360
country is not working as it used
to don't don't actually work that well.

104
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:10.079
I think that the answers pretty simple. The causes are complex, but people

105
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.000
are refusing to interact in an adult
way and sort of just do their jobs,

106
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.319
and a lot of things thus become
very impractical. Like the US government

107
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.839
has been funded by what are called
omnibus packages for something like the past decade,

108
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.639
because yeah, Congress can't agree to
just pass individual budgets, Like the

109
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.199
Republicans of the Democrats can't sit down
and say, Okay, if you take

110
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.519
some of these dubious books out of
education and you stop, you know,

111
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.839
putting some of these requirements on students, we would be willing to increase funding

112
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.279
slightly. In these states. You
can't have that conversation. So you just

113
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.160
put together a giant package where everything
is budgeted at the same level as the

114
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.600
year before, plus an inflation figure, and that's how the government keeps running.

115
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.839
And of course that's not ideal.
Yeah. I guess what I'm saying

116
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.480
here is everyone does agree things don't
work in the past, when you've had

117
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.800
leaders Reagan and Tip O'Neil, even
it's certainly going back for that to Roosevelt

118
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.600
and Eisenhower, people have had to
sit down, look at a real problem

119
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.120
and decide to solve it. You
don't exploit the problem for clicks online.

120
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.800
You actually think about what the solutions
are. And for a lot of problems

121
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.879
like crime, they're very simple.
Yeah, I mean, you know,

122
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.319
and this has been the problem of
politics and why people hate politics because politics

123
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.759
is not uniting us. Uh it
uh you know, and unfortunately, as

124
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.120
they say, politics is downstream the
culture. So it really speaks of the

125
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.799
cultural animus and disunity that we have
right now in the dysfunction. Uh.

126
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.519
And it's almost because because the culture
is so dysfunctional, it's almost as if

127
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.759
will that politics has kind of supplanted, uh, you know, the culture,

128
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.159
and instead of politics being downstream culture. It's like, uh, you

129
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.559
know, the culture is downstream politics. Yeah, I think that. Well,

130
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.320
it's not much of the politics has
supplanted culture. It's that a lot

131
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.240
of the things that used to traditionally
give America culture have vanished. And so

132
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.879
they're really two points here. Like
first, in terms of things like religious

133
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.279
identification, are you a Catholic?
Are you a Baptist? Do you go

134
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.240
to services once a week? I
mean that's declined by something like fifty percent,

135
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.240
and I think we both we both
think that's a very big one.

136
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.159
But that that's combined with a lot
of other things, like we no longer

137
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.799
have a partly drafty army, so
not every guy does there two to four

138
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.320
years in the military where you have
to meet people from around the country and

139
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.840
get along with them and probably fight
with them against a fairly tough opponent.

140
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.679
You much lower number of people play
varsity sports. There's a whole book called

141
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.559
Bowling Alone that breaks down all of
this, especially for men. I love

142
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.960
that Bowling Alone. What a great
book. Yeah, it's it's a it's

143
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.639
a great title. But I mean, like the old bowling leagues, where

144
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.120
I mean your wife would probably be
cooking real meals four or five days a

145
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.759
week if you'd want you out of
the house, so you and the boys

146
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.240
would you know, you'd have a
couple beers and you'd go take a cigar,

147
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.399
and you'd go down to the Union
Hall or whatever. You'd bowl,

148
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.039
you'd plan a trip for the family, or you'd go fishing or something.

149
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.759
That those were organized groups and that's
really declined. So like one of the

150
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.600
points they make in that book Bowling
Alone, is that they're almost as many

151
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.840
bowling alleys today, but the people
that go there are either single practicing their

152
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.159
competitive game or they're going on like
first time hook up dates. You don't

153
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.919
have families, you don't have leagues. So that kind of thing the reason

154
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.879
people care so much about politics in
America, I think there's little a lot

155
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.600
of people. I think this is
especially true on the left when you look

156
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.200
at religious services or family size,
don't have anything else to identify with.

157
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.399
You see the same thing with pets, by the way, where people are

158
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:45.519
walking around with like Rott Wilder puppies
and baby carriages with parasol hats on their

159
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.039
head and all that. I mean, you know, it's funny, but

160
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.960
it's like there's the sadness underlying that, Like, you know, it's quite

161
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.120
the commentary, no doubt about it. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah,

162
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.159
But I mean the person doing that
is almost invariably a young businesswoman that purchased

163
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.200
an expensive baby carriage probably thought a
relationship is going to work out. That

164
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.960
didn't. You've got the carriage and
you've got a dog in it, and

165
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.600
it's funny and I love dogs.
I mean, like, that's that is

166
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.720
not where you want to be as
a society, and that that has generational

167
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.279
impacts. So like one of the
undiscussed facts in our societies, these sort

168
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.279
of crazy senior ghettos. Like there's
start plenty, plenty of nice retirement facilities

169
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.039
as well, but I mean,
like if you're on kind of the public

170
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.600
dime or close to it, I
mean, you're gonna be going to a

171
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.440
pretty bad place if you don't have
kids to help you out down the road.

172
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.159
And that's that's just kind of an
undiscussed fear of a ton of people.

173
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.720
Like I've had older relatives ask you
know, is that gonna happen at

174
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.919
our family answers of course not,
but that that kind of thing that that

175
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.720
becomes cyclical when you don't have those
those other identifiers. So I think a

176
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.799
lot of the people pushing dogs and
baby carriages, not necessarily religious, not

177
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.279
necessarily in a relationship it's going to
lead to marriage. I don't have a

178
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.240
stereotype too much here, but at
least on one side, those seem to

179
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.159
be the people that are very,
very frenzied about Tennessee abortion policy or something

180
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.440
like that. So to rebuild politics, you may first have to rebuild culture,

181
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.879
no doubt, and at the very
base, like you you touched on

182
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.799
this, it has to do with
the moral fiber. We have become unhinged

183
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.000
and dis anchored from these moral principles
that are the basis of our constitution.

184
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:22.440
It's the basis of our civility,
the strength of our family, our communities,

185
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:30.000
and I believe because of the degradation
of morality in our societies today,

186
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.240
this is the manifestation of the America
that we're seeing right now. And hopefully

187
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.600
we get to that point will where
you know, I often tell the kids

188
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.639
experience defines preference. Well, how
much more experience and pain do you have

189
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.320
to go through to realize that's not
working? And we're smarter than this.

190
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:54.360
Yeah, I think people morality is
an interesting conversation because I mean, in

191
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.559
all honesty, you know, I'm
not an a moral person that come from

192
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.720
the business world. It's a very
successful predatory people, and there've been some

193
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.720
very successful hunter societies like Rome.
But that's not the model that America was

194
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:11.960
established on. I think I think
the American ideal was very much that for

195
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.639
the constitutional guarantees to work out,
citizens would have to like one another to

196
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.159
a certain extent and expect honorable behavior
from one another. Would have to view

197
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.360
one another as countrymen. Don't you
don't go out in and get into a

198
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.399
duel and shoot each other. Okay, just saying well, well, I

199
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.240
mean we allowed that for a hundred
years. I understand that. But I'm

200
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.679
just saying, look at that's why
we're progressing to a more perfect union.

201
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.600
We go from glory to glory,
and hopefully we're better. You know that

202
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.320
we're better now than we were twenty
years ago. I'm not sure I view

203
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.360
killing other adult male warriors consensually as
all that evil, but these are We

204
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.720
often have some interesting ranging conversations on
the radio show. Now. I mean,

205
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.360
but this basic point of like,
so, I guess my point here

206
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.879
would be I think there are a
number of philosophies that can work as guides

207
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.200
for people stow us as work for
the Romans. Buddhism works well enough for

208
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.080
the Asians. The West, of
course, has always been Christianity combined with

209
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.240
Athenian liberalism, and I think that
of all the alternatives that work, that

210
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.720
one historically has probably worked the best. But this is really a more of

211
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.159
a philosophical debate than a relevant one, because if you do have any core

212
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.600
philosophy, like Japan would become a
worse country if everyone started abandoning Buddhism for

213
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.080
some reason in favor of promiscuous Saxon
dual style violence. It's on. And

214
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.440
that's the equivalent of what we're seeing
to some extent in the USA. So

215
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.080
we've seen in the USA over a
fairly short period of time, we've seen

216
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.159
many of the social I guess this
gets into where I get active in politics.

217
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.320
I think there's a very specific movement
which is kind of downstream from communism,

218
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.840
and I don't think it's a conspiracy
there. I think all of the

219
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:54.080
various postmodern ideas are focused on essentially
attacking Western and to some extent human society

220
00:14:54.200 --> 00:15:01.080
is evil. So I mean the
idea is that almost every thing that we

221
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.879
identify with and value in the United
States. That would include the church,

222
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.240
certainly, it would include democratic government
in our form. The claim is that

223
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.200
minorities aren't truly allowed to speak,
and other things like this. It would

224
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.320
include the family, which is the
male ownership of women or whatever, the

225
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.720
fourth way feminist claim and so on. All these things are bad, So

226
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.000
this isn't happening coincidentally, like you've
seen a concerted attack on them. Yes,

227
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.519
things that were alternatives to the older
model, like prostitution quote unquote sex

228
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.759
work are very often glorified by people
that want to destroy the older model,

229
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.679
And I guess my approach would be, we can flex the older model a

230
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.840
little bit. I don't think you
should be unmarriageable if you've had two premarital

231
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.480
partners or something like that. But
the core idea kind of has to stay

232
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.720
for the old institutions of the society
to stay. You could argue we could

233
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.399
change the institutions and move forward,
but I frankly don't trust the people that

234
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.200
are currently in charge to do that. I don't think that the constitution written

235
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.720
by say Alexandriocasio Cortez to pick some
very low hanging fruit wouldn't be on par

236
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.879
with one written by Thomas Jefferson,
well, because it wasn't just written by

237
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.879
Thomas Jefferson had a lot of input, no doubt about it, but there

238
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.000
were a lot of people participating.
Again, you know, like you and

239
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.000
I have been talking about, it's
coming together, bringing your despair of thoughts,

240
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.000
you know, to a solution.
And to me, that's the beauty

241
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:29.279
of this constitution and why it has
lasted two hundred and forty seven plus years,

242
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.759
which oh yeah, by the way, on Sunday as US Constitution Day,

243
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.240
and I remind our viewers that might
be a good excuse to you know,

244
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.960
reintroduce yourself to the Constitution and just
I mean every time will I gotta

245
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.320
tell you, every time I read
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution,

246
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.240
I am in awe. I'm in
awe of its simplistic brilliance. And here

247
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.320
how you know the fact that it's
withstood this many years and the attacks you

248
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.960
know from those on the left,
Neo marx is coming in that you know,

249
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.240
supposedly have a better idea. And
I say supposedly because so much of

250
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.000
what they have to offer is a
theory, and when you go back and

251
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.559
revisit their theories, historically it comes
with a lot of human carnage. I

252
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.640
don't want that from my kids or
my grandkids. One of the things about

253
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.519
the US Constitution that's actually worth noting
is that it doesn't attempt to create a

254
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.480
perfect society. The founding fathers like
James Madison were fond of saying things like,

255
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.119
if men were angels, there would
be no need for government, but

256
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.920
all last we are not. So
the Constitution is full of all these compromises.

257
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.480
I mean, so the great compromising
the Constitution is that the House of

258
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.319
Representatives is based on population. Every
person gets a vote, or every man,

259
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.319
I suppose, which is at the
time unheard of. He still have

260
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.160
kings and emperors around the world.
However, the Senate represents state, so

261
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.359
each state gets two senators regardless of
size. And I mean this just goes

262
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.559
on and on and on throughout the
document, even the things that are criticized,

263
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.599
like the three fifth compromise, the
claim often, as you know,

264
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:02.480
blacks were treated as fifths of a
human being. First, yeah, that

265
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.039
wasn't African Americans, that was slaves. But also that was the anti slavery

266
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:12.400
position. Slave masters wanted slaves to
count as one full person, although slaves

267
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.240
couldn't vote, because that would have
given the South permanent near majority representation,

268
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.279
at least in Congress. And so
there was this very eloquent deal made to

269
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.440
prevent that, to make it possible
for the Northern States to down the road.

270
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.920
And it wasn't all that long down
the road eighteen or eight that the

271
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:34.559
slave traders ban defeat slavery. So
you have this very real document that's adjusting

272
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.920
to the real issues of the time. What do we do about indentured servants.

273
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.480
I mean, we all forget that
the whites that were nearly enslaved Native

274
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.960
Americans were also mentioned in the three
fifths compromise, and after an awkward day

275
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.920
long wrangle, they were counted as
humans. So I mean, you had

276
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.039
to decide all these real issues.
In reality, Nators, of course,

277
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.400
only were if they were living in
towns and paying taxes. And I think

278
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.039
it's really funny when you get down
to the core mission of government, but

279
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:03.000
the communism tries to create this fake
perfection on earth, whereas the real successful

280
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.160
document, the Constitution, the Magna
Carta, take into account reality at the

281
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.200
time. You know, in England
at this time, we do have barons,

282
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.039
we do have guildsmen. Now what
rights can a semi free yeoman,

283
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.640
a guildsman, or a minor baron
invoke against the king? You don't.

284
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.640
You don't propose killing the king and
destroying the entire system. You improve it

285
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.680
from the inside. Exactly. Well, we're talking with doctor Wilfred Riley.

286
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:32.079
He is the professor of political science
at Kentucky State University and author of Lives.

287
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.079
My liberal teacher told me it's a
book that's coming out soon. Well,

288
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.519
when is the release date on that
book? Will Lie's my liberal teacher

289
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:44.519
told me The date is still listed
online as early next spring, February.

290
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.920
My understandings, we're going to move
that up to December so that we can

291
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.839
beat the Christmas rush exactly, get
him, get him in those stocking stuffers,

292
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:53.559
you know, Well, we'll get
him there. Make sure you've got

293
00:19:55.079 --> 00:20:00.559
plenty of you know, intellectual offerings
there at Christmas. Besides, you know

294
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:06.680
Grandma's fruit fruit bread or you know
whatever they call it. I forget what

295
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.240
they call it, Yeah, fruitcake? What is it about fruitcake? I

296
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.000
And people you know, so funny, Will they'll say, well, you

297
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.640
haven't had my fruit. It doesn't
matter. It tastes like fruitcakes like liver.

298
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.880
Oh, you just haven't had my
way that I cook liver. No,

299
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.759
it still tastes like liver. I'm
sorry. Yeah, the fruitcake actually

300
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.759
is a pretty tasty thing if you
go to I mean buddies have told me

301
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.119
this in Austria or in some of
the Central American countries where they make it

302
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.839
with like real candied fruits that have
been sitting on the sugar for a day.

303
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.119
But in America, I mean they
have to endure for six months,

304
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.720
right, they make them in July, so you've got all kind of crap.

305
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.599
I'm sure that shot in there.
You've got basically gummy bears in the

306
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.359
in the cake. Yeah, they're
they're not delicious. Well, I think

307
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:47.519
I think what happens between me and
you. They go back and they get

308
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.880
last year's supply that was left over, and they just recircle, recycle it,

309
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.640
you know. And I guess so
if you have some relative that you

310
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.279
don't really want to say, Mary, Mary, and merry Christmas suit you

311
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.720
said, you know fruitcake in the
mail, I don't know, but yeah,

312
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.559
no, I mean it's it's probably
something like that. Like there's the

313
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.039
famous old Seinfeld episode about regifting where
they keep giving each other this junk over

314
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:12.960
years. It's like a good golf
driver. I mean, actually, if

315
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.039
you're a guy, you like,
you recogniest one of these presents, like

316
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.000
a golf driver, like a book
on the Civil War, like a Frica

317
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.920
the fruitcakes from nineteen seventy two.
So I wouldn't be surprised by that if

318
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.480
you tried to actually cut into one
of these bad boys, because you went

319
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.960
to the gym for a way nice
breaks. But it's not it's not the

320
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.640
best of the Christmas foods for sure, No, not at all. Well

321
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:37.039
that's like what you remember two buck
chuck? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

322
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.240
Right when it first came out,
you know, I was like,

323
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.759
okay, this was a heck of
a deal for two bucks. Man.

324
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.720
You got some wine there and and
and I would say, by experience,

325
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.279
the Cabernet Sauvignon, and you had
to go through about four or five bottles

326
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.880
and you might get lucky and get
one that tastes halfway decent. But that

327
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:57.640
was my experience anyway. But then
then the word got out it was two

328
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:02.000
buck chucks. So then you couldn't
bring it to parties anymore because you know,

329
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.079
how cheap are you? You know
you're bringing in, you know,

330
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.480
a two dollars a bottle of wine. You know, you might as well

331
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.680
bring in, you know, a
box of wine, right or something like

332
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.559
that. The funny thing about that, though, is that, like,

333
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:17.759
I mean, you're right, you
had to go through two or three bottles

334
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.559
to get to a bottle that had
properly settled in some but I mean that's

335
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.759
still six dollars, you know,
if you're decanting those for like a drinking

336
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:25.920
date with a partner or something.
I mean, so like a bottle of

337
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.039
y twenty thirty dollars like two buck
chuck was a pretty good investment if you

338
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.359
were And this is this is like
fraternity guys. I knew it's on.

339
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:33.319
I had to do this, but
like you just pour into a bottle of

340
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.880
expensive wine, not another difference,
you know. Like there's this guy who

341
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.680
he's a British TV host who makes
fun of a lot of the pretensions of

342
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.839
French and for that matter, of
American culture. And he went to the

343
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.599
latest World Wine Cup with all the
like big Parisian and California and Italian growers,

344
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.400
and he basically did that. He
took like one of the better Paul

345
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.279
Rossy bottles. There'sn't bad, it's
like eighteen bucks. But he poured it

346
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.519
into a bottle of wine that he
had had made my glass blower friend and

347
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.839
called it like look Cavali de cult
or something like that, and entered it

348
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.480
in the show and it finished like
third. I mean, this is on

349
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.000
Twitter right now, like people are
saying, like good earthy notes, seems

350
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:11.680
like it was made by one of
the better Italian wine makers and sewing down

351
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.920
the line. So I mean,
I personally think like most people drink because

352
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.319
they liked to be a bit buzzed
at parties. This is especially true for

353
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.920
a lot of young men and a
lot of my female friends. Like I

354
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.000
don't people put ice cubes and wine, you know, under age whatever.

355
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.559
I don't think most people could tell
the difference between a thousand dollars bottle of

356
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.400
wine and tubuck chuck in all.
Honestly, Well, you're you're exactly right.

357
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.559
I remember when I was in LA
Radio this years ago, will they

358
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.599
had Hoi POLOI wine tasting contests,
right, they had all all these top

359
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.319
you know, connoisseurs there and they
were at the table and probably a dozen

360
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.440
of them and blindfold test and what
the at the end of the day,

361
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.640
what they ended up selecting was a
gold Chablis, the cheapest wine in the

362
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.839
table. And I don't know if
you remember that gold chablis that was out,

363
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:10.319
but yeah, so so it was
hysterical, you know, after they

364
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:15.079
they kind of changed the subject really
quick after that ceremony. I think most

365
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.680
things are like that. I mean, I was talking about students the other

366
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.319
day, and this is a it's
a historically black college. It's also a

367
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.519
state college, so a lot of
like upper middle class African American and Appalachian

368
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.160
kids, and I mean we were
talking about this stuff, like what's the

369
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.519
best brand of car, and people
are saying things like, you know,

370
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.279
this line of Mercedes, what's the
best alcohol Belvidere, And I mean I

371
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.960
made the point that we think this
stuff is expensive because it comes from countries

372
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.839
that we have high tariffs on,
like France and Russia, Germany. I

373
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:47.680
mean, like you know in much
of Europe, like the baseline Mercedes they

374
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:49.960
were talking about is just a car, you know, I mean, Amazon

375
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.519
cars are Mercedes mid sized vans.
So the whole idea of luxury consumer spending,

376
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.000
like bottle service in the club,
you're paying two hundred dollars for a

377
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:06.079
thirty five dollars bottle of liquor.
Is pretty silly. And that's how I've

378
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.880
always thought about Like your preference in
wine is basically based on whether it's more

379
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.759
sweet or more sour. I'm sure
there's a more polite way to say that,

380
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.319
but guys didn't prefer a dry or
more sour tasting wine, and so

381
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.880
you're just gonna pick something that fits
that bill. Most people aren't wine kind

382
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.279
of story. I have no idea
what year they're drinking. It's on exactly

383
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.400
well, you know, for me, and I guess I was taught early,

384
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.640
and I've always appreciated this way when
it comes to wine. You pare

385
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.359
it up. And there are certain
wines when you pair them up with a

386
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.240
good steak that's heaven. You know, then it starts to make sense.

387
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.279
But you know, sometimes you know, and then you go into a little

388
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:45.759
bit lighter wine. If it's just
a social you just want to have a

389
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.480
you know, social glass of wine
in your cup and you're having you know,

390
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.839
some more derves that's a you know, a different type of wine.

391
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.519
I have a tendency to lean more
toward red than white, so you know,

392
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.440
I pick accordingly. But yeah,
to me, it's it's it's the

393
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:06.640
uh, it's the how the taste
compliments and how it brings out the flavors

394
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.920
of the entree. Yeah, oh
yeah, definitely. I mean that's there.

395
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.480
There are uses for wine. I
mean, like good wine makes a

396
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.000
good dinner great, definitely. I
mean I also think that there are pretty

397
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.359
high percentage of people who are probably
functional alcoholics that are involved in like the

398
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.079
bourbon trailing in Kentucky or the wine
scene out in California, Like let's go

399
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.200
to another winery this weekend, you
know, And I'm not I'm not sure.

400
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.119
I personally think you'd pour gasoline and
cups for some of those people and

401
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.559
they'd be fine. I don't really
know how many of them would require like

402
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.279
a seventeen outs porterhouse to enjoy that
that day out, No, probably not.

403
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:48.200
Just give them a bag yett and
some cheese and a glasses without a

404
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:53.200
doubt. Our conversation with doctor Wilfred
Riley, Professor political Science at Kentucky State

405
00:26:53.319 --> 00:27:00.319
University UH continues here will I want
to talk about the state of of our

406
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:06.039
education. I mean, parents are
really frustrated and if the Department of Education,

407
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.559
in my humble opinion, doesn't get
their act together, you know,

408
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:15.519
parents are going to really insist on
some major reform because of you know,

409
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:21.519
what's going on. And at the
top of all this is this idea that

410
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.960
education somehow has pre eminence over the
parents when it comes to their kids.

411
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.400
Yeah, I mean, so,
I think there are two dimensions here.

412
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.359
One is the introduction of inappropriate material
into the curriculum. And I mean I

413
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.880
think the parents are mostly correct about
this. Now, I mean there aren't

414
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.160
things like the large majority of Americans
think there is a place for standard sex

415
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.039
education, like this is consent,
these are the parts, These are the

416
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.599
diseases in senior high school. I
mean, so that that's probably something where

417
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.839
most Democrats and most Republicans would actually
agree, you know. I mean you

418
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:57.559
have the marriage manual book from high
school with the line drawings in it to

419
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.759
avoid the pornography laws and all this, And I mean, like the average

420
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.680
boy would probably find that useful,
Like, of course you can opt your

421
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.920
kid out so on. But I
don't think must be a little huge problem

422
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.680
of that. But you have stuff
that goes well beyond that. I mean

423
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:15.079
from classic gay literature, like all
Boys Aren't Blue in the schools too,

424
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.839
And I mean there's a hilarious scene. I think it's Joe King from Louisiana.

425
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.880
Just read some of the gay sex
scenes from that. Wow. See

426
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.480
the response, Oh my god,
Yeah, exactly. It was very funny.

427
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.319
I mean, he was a guy
in a thousand dollars Brooks Brothers suit,

428
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.839
witty old guy. I mean,
he's sitting there like this is my

429
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.839
But I mean I don't want to
I'm not gonna read anything explicit for an

430
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.359
audience like this one. But it
was just it was one of the most

431
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.559
hilarious things I've ever seen. It
was on par with the Saturday Night Live

432
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.079
skit, given that everyone there was
an adult, and you thought, and

433
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.599
you you almost thought, Okay,
I just stepped into an SNL skit.

434
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.599
But this is real life. I
mean, this is what's going on.

435
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:53.839
Yeah, I mean, like,
I like booty he told me. I

436
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.559
mean, like, is that really
something you need in the eighth grade library?

437
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.519
I mean probably not. So there's
that on the one hand, and

438
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.160
by the way, it goes well
beyond like debatable books. So I mean,

439
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.400
to me, much more dangerous is
the sort of gender indoctrin nation curriculum

440
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.680
where people are told that in addition
to sex. So I'll be very blood

441
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.160
about this. I think gender is
a complete wo idea. I mean in

442
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:21.680
the sense of like the craziest homeopathic
medicine. Somebody with a degree and a

443
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.880
non technical field kind of made it
up. It's a guy named John Money,

444
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:30.720
of another feminist academic, Judith but
approply named John Money. Yeah exactly.

445
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.000
Yeah. I mean, not only
did he earn a fair amount of

446
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.799
his namesake from this stuff, but
John Money also was a lunatic. I

447
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:40.720
mean he was a pedophile in the
technical sense of the word. John Money

448
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.319
was someone who believed that child sexuality
begins very early on in life and it

449
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.680
should be encouraged by responsible adults.
And a lot of that's crept into what's

450
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.799
called pleasure based sex education, which
is the idea that you should basically teach

451
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.240
kids how to be good in bid
you know again, I think you should

452
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.000
have you know, the marriage Manual
available in the adult section of the library.

453
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.839
You can figure it out with your
girlfriend at past age whatever. But

454
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.640
I think I would be very suspicious
of any teacher that had a strong interest

455
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.079
in improving children's sexual skills. So
all of this is stuff that's really really

456
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.400
gotten into the schools over decades.
But gender in general, of course,

457
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.079
for those in the audience that are
a little confused about what might seem like

458
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:22.440
a nonsense concept, is the idea
that the stereotypes associated with sex create a

459
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:27.319
secondary identity that's as important as sex. So if I am me, I'm

460
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:33.000
a two hundred pound, fat but
strong, biological male a suit, you

461
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.680
know, and I say, well, you know, as it happens,

462
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.440
I prefer male lovers, I do
not, but you know, I prefer

463
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.720
certain dishes. I like the color
pink over the color blue. I'm a

464
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:47.160
woman inside. That's what your gender
ideology is. It's this internal sense that

465
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.480
comes from these norms and stereotypes.
Then I should be treated as a woman.

466
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.480
This is a very novel idea that
has a lot of implications. The

467
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.680
questions are, of course, like, should quote unquote male women go to

468
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:04.319
Iman's prison play sport against women in
competitive leagues? You know? So?

469
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.200
And down the line, should lesbians
be expected to date these people and engage

470
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.440
in normal intimate couples practices with them. Let's say, and I think most

471
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.960
people looking at this would say,
well, that's absolutely nonsensically absurd. This

472
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:18.960
is just a man that thinks he's
a girl. Yeah right. I mean

473
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.839
we used to call this transsexualism,
we used to call this cross dressing.

474
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.720
But the idea that this is something
very different and legitimate is being taught to

475
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.839
kids at a very early age now, and that is impacting them. So,

476
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.519
like twenty one percent of young people
now say they're in the LGBT community,

477
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.759
But that doesn't mean they're actually they
have a lesbian girlfriend or something.

478
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.400
Yes, right, exactly. Yeah, it means that they have had enough

479
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.799
promiscuous hookups that they describe themselves as
bisexual. There may have been people of

480
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.319
different both sexes there. It means
that they identify as queer, which is

481
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.920
kind of a meaningless term, but
most especially, it means that they would

482
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:59.000
put themselves in this trans or non
binary category, like I feel like a

483
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.000
boy sometimes in the stereotypical sense,
so I can't be a girl. I'm

484
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.119
ambi gender. That's what people are
talking about. They're not saying they're gay,

485
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:10.200
they're saying they are non binary or
demi sexual or something like that.

486
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:13.720
So I think that's the problem of
the schools. That's one. The other

487
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.680
problem is just we're not teaching kids
to read. I was gonna say,

488
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.960
what about the basics exactly? I
mean, if you're if you're so concerned

489
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:25.599
about sex and you're focusing their attention
on that, what about reading, writing,

490
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:30.200
arithmetic, the basic objective and mission
of education. Right, Well,

491
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.160
there's a famous meme on the internet
where a kid raises his hands and like,

492
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.880
what's twenty six times thirty four?
And the teacher, who's this hip

493
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.279
looking African American guy comes over.
It's like I said, we day today,

494
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:43.839
and like hands him a book on
you know, whatever the topic is.

495
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:45.640
So like, yes, of course, like if you spend if you

496
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:51.079
make sex education. Sex education used
to be two weeks. There was genuinely

497
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.359
useful if you're in a relationship,
but awkward with an old priest talking to

498
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:57.640
you. The right of a banana, that the lot would be devoted to

499
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.359
various diseases you can catch. You
know, that probably has a place.

500
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:04.799
It could be debated at the local
level by parents. I think it's the

501
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.480
answer there. But well, I
think I think in some cases we'll just

502
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.279
interrupt you just a second. You
know, in some cases, you know

503
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.960
girls that were you know, heading
fifth, fifth and sixth grade, sadly

504
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.680
their parents wouldn't even talk to them, didn't even you know, prepare them

505
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.480
for their first period. And so
then you know, somehow the onus and

506
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:28.480
it shouldn't have been an onus that
fell on the educators, but the educators

507
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.839
picked up on it because you know, the school doctors or the school nurses.

508
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.480
You know, all of a sudden, you know, fifth and sixth

509
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.799
graders are coming in uh, you
know, for treatment. They had no

510
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.799
idea, and these girls just don't
don't even understand uh, you know,

511
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.799
the elements of what's happening with their
body. And so then, uh,

512
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.400
you know, the Department of Education
says, okay, well the parents obviously

513
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:57.319
are not or not facilitating their daughters. So then you know they took it

514
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.599
by default. Yeah, And I
mean, like I it's a little awkward,

515
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.119
one as a male and two as
a conservative guy to really talk about

516
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.280
this issue in depth, like I
mean, sex added the schools and something

517
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:09.880
I write a lot about. But
yes, of course, like the basic

518
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.199
idea that there should be an introductory
six weeks semi course called something like human

519
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.760
Body, where you talk about the
fact that you're not dying if you have

520
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:22.840
your period. Girls at least should
probably be aware of what a clitteristy is,

521
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.320
you know, like boys should be
very aware of what consent is.

522
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:30.079
Like your girlfriend could say no if
she's uncomfortable at this in high school for

523
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.119
X number of dates or even through
the period of secondary education. So all

524
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.000
that, Like sure, what we're
talking about, though, is just at

525
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.599
a basic level, if you devote
a year to sex and gender education,

526
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:45.039
you're not devoting that same amount of
time to something more useful exactly. So

527
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.880
it doesn't take all that long to
figure out what a penis is to some

528
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:51.000
extent, well these days and sometimes
seems to. But you know, like

529
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.679
sex is in reality when you remove
the gender wood, not very complicated.

530
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.800
The second point with the schools,
though, that we're kind of getting into

531
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:02.840
it this is that the schools aren't
doing all that well. Ian Rowe,

532
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.519
who's a pretty well known educator by
this point, friend of mine and the

533
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.920
hit of Vertex Academy in New York, Well, a point that he makes

534
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.679
is we often try to break this
down in racial terms, you know,

535
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.239
how would the US schools look if
they only had a European student population they

536
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:22.400
were majority upper middle class white and
Rowe actually broke this down for a published

537
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.119
paper and says, well, they'd
still look pretty bad. You know,

538
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.719
as of the past ten years,
we've never seen a year where fifty percent

539
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.880
of kids in any racial category.
Asians sometimes get here from math, but

540
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.039
if tested is even proficient in reading, so you have and I checked out

541
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.440
his numbers and he's right. So
I mean you have basic or I guess

542
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.800
you have blow basic failing, then
you're basic. Then you have proficient,

543
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.480
which is average or above. Then
you have advanced, which is where you

544
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:50.719
want the kids to go. And
I guess gifted would be above advanced.

545
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.239
And as of right now, more
than fifty percent of every ethnic population is

546
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.920
below proficient. So you've got to
you've got to figure out what to do

547
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:01.400
to raise that. It's not really
that complicated. I mean, you need

548
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:07.519
smart teachers without all the union protections
for the worst teachers. You need longer

549
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.360
hours in school, which would help
out working parents a great deal. You

550
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:13.719
need to pay teachers a little more, but only if they perform, you

551
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.480
know, so down the line,
like we know what they do. In

552
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:17.440
Japan, we know what they do. And actually very integrated countries like Brazil

553
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.199
and the upper income cities, we
know what they do. In Norway,

554
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.000
we just we just don't do it. So the question is will we start

555
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:27.400
doing it well? And you bring
up an excellent points. See this has

556
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.920
been my problem from day one.
I mean, look at I've worked in

557
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:39.679
unions before and I resisted them by
experience because my takeaway in being associated with

558
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:45.360
unions is it promoted mediocrity. And
I saw this, you know, in

559
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:52.360
my broadcasting career and in so much
of other things, particularly in schools,

560
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:58.719
because they are so controlled by the
unions. We're not we're not promoting excellence

561
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.360
and and we're getting mediocre results.
And for all the money that we're investing

562
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.440
in this my goodness. I mean, I appreciate the movement by legislators,

563
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:13.679
you know, our representatives saying hey, look at the money for education should

564
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.639
go with the child. So if
it's a charter school or a private school,

565
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:23.559
you know, you have situations where
you know, even elected officials whose

566
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:28.320
children could be going to public schools, but no they you know, they're

567
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.760
making the money, they can afford
it. So they send them to private

568
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.159
schools. Why do you send them
to private schools because they get better education

569
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:39.400
theoretically? Yeah, I mean Corey
D'Angelis online, who's a school choice advocate,

570
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.039
has developed an argumentative strategy where every
time anyone criticizes him for trying to

571
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.800
destroy public education, he'll just look
up where they sent their kid to school,

572
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.880
right, and ninety five percent of
the time he'll just reply, you

573
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.320
sent your kid to private school or
you sent your kid to the one charter

574
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:58.920
school in your town. So,
yeah, the public schools aren't working,

575
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.679
right, And it's a complex question. It's actually not a complex question of

576
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.719
why the public schools are a government
near monopoly. They don't really have any

577
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.000
competition. They're going to get money
no matter what they do. So they've

578
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.639
proven to be a very receptive kind
of contact point for all these crazy theories

579
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.679
that come out of academia in the
school's education. So woke is really more

580
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.880
prevalent in school than anywhere else.
Yeah, I mean, that's that's basically

581
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:30.119
like their entire social media accounts and
online broadcast channels like libs of TikTok that

582
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.760
are basically just devoted to calling out
teachers and people in one to two other

583
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.840
professions, who are you know,
filling up the entire classroom experience with the

584
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.960
Black Lives Matter signs and various LGBT
propaganda and so on down the line.

585
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.800
And I think that's kind of easier
to do there, like to get a

586
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:52.800
school to buy d ei sel cry
yet new agents, and especially if you've

587
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.000
got a captured audience. If you're
like Governor Newsom in California and your wife

588
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.559
is a you know, she's a
producer of said material, so you set

589
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:07.320
up a deal and funnel money in
her direction to produce these uh you know,

590
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.679
these these curriculum pieces that now are
being distributed. I guess their next

591
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:17.239
goal is they're distributing across the country. Yeah, I mean, it's it's

592
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:23.079
fairly hard to avoid now. I
mean, the right also has impacts on

593
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:27.400
the school system, just because when
a state doesn't adopt, for example,

594
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:31.639
a textbook and it's a large state, the textbook generally fails on a national

595
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:36.400
scale. So, I mean ten
or twelve years ago, there were national

596
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.079
debates because states like Texas wanted to
include, for example, intelligent design theories

597
00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:44.840
in the science textbooks and said,
well, if those aren't included for at

598
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:46.559
least a page or two. We're
not going to buy the textbook. So

599
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:50.559
but I mean, this doesn't really
counter what we're saying. You know,

600
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.559
the idea that right can do this
too and screw with the schools isn't a

601
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:58.280
plus, you know. So the
basic idea is that because this is a

602
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.480
public service, and it's a captured
public service, anyone who wants to sell

603
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:07.079
into that that has a connection to
people in power can do so pretty easy.

604
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:08.880
Oh yeah, yeah, And Thomas
Saul wrote a book and I think

605
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:14.440
twenty twenty talking about this charter schools
and their enemies, where at one point

606
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.840
I noticed this because I'm what's called
a culturalist. On IQ, there are

607
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.519
test score differences between groups, and
I don't think that most of them,

608
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:27.800
like the difference between Caucasian Hispanics and
other whites, are plausibly due to either

609
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.559
genetics or racism, Like it doesn't
make sense. I think that there are

610
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:37.159
basic cultural things like the amount of
time people in each group study for school,

611
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:42.360
that predict like ninety percent of this. But this book and I think

612
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.920
most people would at a common sensical
level agree with that, and kind of

613
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.360
a ten thousand hours, since like, the more you study for a tough

614
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.599
class, the better you'll probably do
in that class. The more you practice

615
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.639
your jump shot, the better you'll
be at basketball. But the one line

616
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.239
from the book is that students who
went to good charter schools, they were

617
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:00.800
free of all this pois into the
school system. We've broken down a lot

618
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.440
of it. The dumb union teachers
bluntly, the ideological indoctrination, the crazy

619
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:09.880
companies selling all these prep guides,
all this students who just went to school

620
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:14.039
and learned to read and read the
iliad. If you looked at the same

621
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.760
population of kids, like people that
applied to get into the charter school but

622
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:21.559
were rejected for whatever reason, versus
people who applied and got in, it's

623
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:24.280
just random selection. The people who
applied and got in years down the road

624
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:28.360
scored about two hundred points higher on
the SAT. So, like, we

625
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.800
know, there's an alternative model that
works pretty well. The question is how

626
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:36.239
do you get through all the free
riders and debt loaders and so on that

627
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:40.840
are exploiting the current model exactly and
mediocritizing the process. It was interesting to

628
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.079
your point. I don't know if
you saw this graft or not. I

629
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:49.920
think it was just released last week
where it took the demographics and you know,

630
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.440
by race, the amount of time
that kids were, you know,

631
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:59.519
dedicating to their education. And I
don't know if you saw it, but

632
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.960
I mean Asians were off the chart. I mean because of the you know,

633
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.320
to your point, how much time
and dedication. I mean Kobe Bryant,

634
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.760
that was his mentality. He said, look at I know, I'm

635
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.760
willing to put in three four hours
a day to be the best basketball player

636
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.960
ever. And look at him.
Look look what happened. I mean,

637
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.920
the results. You know, we're
quite obvious because of the effort that he

638
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:30.599
put in to his game. And
we're forgetting that part of the conversation that's

639
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.920
so critical. And here we want
to, you know, malign Asian kids

640
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:39.000
because they perform so well in the
education process. But look at they've earned

641
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:44.480
it. Yeah. I mean,
I'm an almost total meritocrat. I think

642
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:46.519
that in each field, the people
that do the best should be the people

643
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:52.840
will we we reward, and that's
that's the best thing for society overall.

644
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:57.039
I mean, no one, no
one wants to watch an NBA basketball game

645
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.840
that's a bunch of five six guys
you know, equally divided by race,

646
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.400
trudging up and down the court,
you know, bricking mid range jump shots.

647
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:08.239
I know you want to watch a
bunch of speedy brothers and Russians dunking

648
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.599
the ball. And I mean because
those are the groups that currently There may

649
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.360
be a slight genetic factor there,
but I mean those are the groups also

650
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:20.400
that currently play the most basketball.
Basketball is the national sport of Yugoslavia,

651
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:23.840
which is where Slovenia, Bosnia,
Macedonia, all those countries that produced those

652
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:29.320
warrior looking guys in the league.
They're located in the center of that former

653
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.440
heartland. So I mean, same
thing for Asians and reverse. Obviously we

654
00:43:32.440 --> 00:43:37.199
shouldn't penalize it. But the graphic
that Bill's referring to for anyone listening is

655
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:43.119
from a twenty seventeen Brookings Institute study
that tried to figure out why people actually

656
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.760
do well in school. And they
looked at the racism explanation, and in

657
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.440
the gingerly way that liberals do,
they touched on genetics for three point two

658
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.440
seconds, and then they actually just
asked kids how much they studied and then

659
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:58.639
confirmed that with their parents, and
Asian American kids study twice as much as

660
00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:01.079
whites and three times as much as
if irecollact. Yeah. Yeah, so

661
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:04.880
I mean that's it, Like we
don't need any anny wild theories. The

662
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.320
only claim is that there might be
an impact of racism or genes on that.

663
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.800
But like we know that if any
group of reasonably intelligent people Irishman or

664
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.719
Jamaicans were to study that much,
they do about as well. They just

665
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.719
don't exactly well. And plus all
the scientific will follow the science, you

666
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.639
know, the science study of the
human brain and how elastic it is and

667
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:30.000
what it's able to produce. I
mean, you've got kids, will you

668
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.719
know, we we we've heard the
stories, We've seen the evidence of kids

669
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:37.639
that should not be performing, you
know, like doctor Carson for example,

670
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.039
this guy's being raised by a single
mom with a third third grade education level,

671
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:46.920
and he and his brother go on
and do incredible things. I mean,

672
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:52.440
and this is just one of many
stories like this in the Naked Cities

673
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.440
of America. Yeah, I mean, there probably is an element of natural

674
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:58.840
genius to some extent. Like,
for example, I was a pretty good

675
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.920
basketball player, and as I recall, you're a pretty good athlete. But

676
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:02.199
I mean, like listening to talking
about Kobe Bryant. Like, Kobe Bryant's

677
00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:06.559
also six seven, Like he looks
small on the court because he stand next

678
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:10.320
to Shack so pau Gasol from Spain, like the mountain highlands of Spain,

679
00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:14.400
you know, I mean like that
that also helps. Like I mean,

680
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:17.199
I've seen guys who have the same
handle that Kobe Bryant does that played high

681
00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:20.960
school varsity ball because they were six
one. So I mean, like,

682
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.400
so there's also that. But given
that you're reasonably fit and you're not an

683
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.039
inhuman height, you're six six,
Like, what's going to determine whether you

684
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:30.960
make it to the league as opposed
to a D two basketball team is your

685
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:34.599
amount of practice. It's your amount
of hours on the court. And yeah,

686
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:37.079
Kobe was famous for having what he
called the Mamba mentality, where he'd

687
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.280
go out for four hours a day, he'd practice, he'd play with weights

688
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:44.800
around his ankles. And in America
right now, it's the East Asian kids

689
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.159
and the Indian kids that are playing
with weights around their ankles academically that are

690
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:52.599
going home. Yeah, exactly right, Yeah, Tiger Woods, how many

691
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.360
golf balls do you think hid he
in every day? I mean a thousand

692
00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.440
Tiger Woods is like, there's a
story about Tiger Woods talking his dad,

693
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.800
Earl who was an Army Master sergeant
and also a pretty good amateur golfer.

694
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.440
And Earl Woods said he used to
hit golf balls until his hands cracked a

695
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.119
little bit. You had caluses and
a little bit of blood. And that

696
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:14.840
might be a slight father's exaggeration,
but I mean you can do that.

697
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:16.760
And so Tiger Woods went out and
hit five hundred golf balls and he came

698
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:19.519
home and he's like, my hands
are stored, but they're not bleeding.

699
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:22.960
How long before they bleed? And
Earl Woods just looked up from a dinner

700
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:28.440
stake and said, a lot longer. That's what true hustle is, Like,

701
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.199
I mean, you have the best
people in the world. They must

702
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:34.480
be in the world at running are
Kenyans again might have a slight physical advantage,

703
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:38.119
but who also run fifty miles a
day? Yeah, and Kenya all

704
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:42.320
the hills are They're all downhill though, will you know? So they get

705
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.519
an advantage. I'm just kidding.
I mean, I think a real advantage

706
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.599
if you're if you were making like
friendly jokes about different nations is they don't

707
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.480
have cars. And bicycles. I
mean, I think they'll be significantly worse

708
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.039
than running in fifty years. You
know, that's coming upper upper middle income

709
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.679
country. So I mean, if
you got guys driving around a yugos and

710
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:00.960
so on, you're not gonna have
as many. But yeah, but if

711
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:05.239
it's not an electric vehicle, we
may be running anyway. We're all going

712
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:07.519
homish pretty soon. So yeah,
yeah, you know, with all these

713
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:13.800
manifestos that you know, President Biden
and the Greenies want you know, to

714
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:15.320
have, you know, for all
of us to be at net zero by

715
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:21.239
twenty fifty, and there's no projection
of an infrastructure to produce said results,

716
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:24.199
but we're going to head that way
anyway. I think that that's the goal

717
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:30.039
of a lot of this stuff.
Actually, like massive social change that's not

718
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.079
necessary. So I mean, I
still keep in pretty good contact with academics

719
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:36.400
and different fields. And one of
the things that recently came out of the

720
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.400
Big Ten is that there's a kind
of highly refractive light gray paint that if

721
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:45.480
you apply to roofs, reflects most
of the sun rays that strike your home

722
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:49.840
directly back up. And there are
a couple of models that estimate and anyone

723
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.559
interested and can look this up like
light gray paint stops. Climate change might

724
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.079
be a search term, but there
are a bunch of models that predict that

725
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.760
if a third of the roofs in
the country were covered in this paint,

726
00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:01.920
maybe a little more, most of
the effects of global climate change that we're

727
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:07.360
seeing would just be stopped. Planting
trees is a similar technique. If you're

728
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:12.920
worried about greenhouse gases, they're replaceable. They cycle through large, brushy vegetative

729
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.360
plants like trees. So I think
when people say things like we need to

730
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:23.880
stop driving cars because climate change is
occurring, they are they're acting out a

731
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:30.119
pre existing war plan that was already
there. Climate change is just the latest

732
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.320
thing that they're trying to use to
activate it. We've heard things under COVID,

733
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:37.639
we need to stay home, drive
less. You know, all this

734
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.840
stuff go to the gym on the
right, Like everyone had a preset bunch

735
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:45.480
of ideas that would come up in
almost any scenario. So I basically just

736
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:47.679
plan on living my life and being
as skeptical about this kind of stuff as

737
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:51.920
I am. Now. Yeah,
and still you know, you think healthy,

738
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.039
you do healthy, you get healthy? Why not? We got about

739
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:58.280
a minute left here will again.
I want to give you an opportunity to,

740
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.559
you know, tell every buddy about
your new book that you know,

741
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:06.360
it looks like maybe December, but
you can pre order it in any way

742
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.199
right now, at all the usual
places right Yeah, to get lies my

743
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:13.440
liberal teacher told you is what the
book's called. All you have to do

744
00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:16.679
is go to Amazon, go to
any place that sells books, and you'll
