1 00:00:05,749 --> 00:00:04,470 [Music] 2 00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:05,759 explain to everybody what did the 3 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,120 founders mean 4 00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:09,360 uh when they said that all men are 5 00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:10,960 created equal in the declaration of 6 00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:11,840 independence 7 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,519 well they meant all people are created 8 00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:15,200 equal in those days that 9 00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:17,359 you know just only recently stopped you 10 00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:18,560 know saying 11 00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,960 men for humankind so i mean all humans 12 00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:22,400 are created equal first 13 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:25,359 but to understand that you have to 14 00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:26,720 understand 15 00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:29,599 the context in which it was said at that 16 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:30,240 time 17 00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,920 what we had in the world was utter 18 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:33,920 inequality everywhere 19 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:36,320 you traveled east or you traveled west 20 00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:37,120 people were 21 00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:41,200 subjects to monarchs who were the state 22 00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:42,800 and people so the whole system 23 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:44,239 everywhere was based on the 24 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:45,280 idea that there were some who were born 25 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,160 to rule tiny you know one person 26 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,879 right and his cohort and everybody else 27 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,320 was born to be ruled 28 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:54,079 that was just the way it was it was 29 00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:56,000 accepted as the way of things 30 00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:58,960 so when the founders came out and said 31 00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,359 uh 32 00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,399 all people are created equal 33 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:04,000 what they were standing against with 34 00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:05,680 this worldwide 35 00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:09,680 uh system of kings and emperors 36 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:13,119 and subjects that's the context of that 37 00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:14,640 claim 38 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,320 and also very significant that 39 00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,360 it's are created equal 40 00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:23,439 right we're talking about again i guess 41 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:24,720 i'm repeating what you just said but but 42 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,640 but that it's at birth 43 00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:28,320 is what is the equality that we're 44 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:30,320 talking about yeah that's right 45 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:33,520 so so one guy born doesn't now 46 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,240 become the future king and one person 47 00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:37,920 born doesn't then become 48 00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:40,640 you know a subject for life unable to 49 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:41,119 even 50 00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:44,560 leave without permission that so so that 51 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,600 happens at birth 52 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:46,960 but you know they've got that word in 53 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,360 there created created and then just a 54 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,200 few words later it says creator 55 00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,360 to make the point clear there's no 56 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,520 question that for the founders 57 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,280 we're talking about the nature of things 58 00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,880 as a result of 59 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:01,520 what kind of creatures we are and what 60 00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:02,479 and what's 61 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:06,560 what created us and how how truly unique 62 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,439 was it at 63 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:09,920 the time were there other countries 64 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:10,720 before us 65 00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:13,920 that that had declared the same thing no 66 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,239 it was it was a it was a it was a 67 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:18,160 basically a contradiction in terms 68 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:19,440 i mean people could look around the 69 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,720 world and say well that's not true 70 00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:22,720 there's not they're not equality 71 00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:23,440 anywhere 72 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,599 it was such a radical idea that it was 73 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,440 that it was you know considered really 74 00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:31,599 by learned experts the experts of their 75 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:32,800 time you know the people who tell us 76 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,720 about global warming 77 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,480 you know now what the experts in those 78 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,560 days said what 79 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:40,720 this whole system can't work it'll it'll 80 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:41,680 fail 81 00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:45,200 what happened instead was that all those 82 00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:48,400 courtiers were to watch as the 83 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,599 regimes based on this strange idea of 84 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:53,840 rulers enrolled collapsed around them we 85 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,040 don't have 86 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,680 any nowhere in the real in any 87 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:59,280 significance in this world do we have 88 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,040 that system anymore which was the system 89 00:03:04,229 --> 00:03:03,599 everywhere i mean saudi arabia's got a 90 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,239 king an 91 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,920 official religion but that's kind of a 92 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,000 special place basically 93 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:10,239 kings and emperors are now ceremonial 94 00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,360 figures 95 00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:13,760 so america gets credit for basically 96 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:14,959 putting the end 97 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,080 putting an end to kingdoms we did it and 98 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:20,800 uh you know late in his life jefferson 99 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,360 said 100 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:24,000 everybody's eyes are opening to this 101 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,720 truth 102 00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,560 that all people are created equal 103 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:28,080 there's no such people 104 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:31,680 that none are born to be ridden 105 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,280 and none are born to ride you know 106 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:37,920 and so he was so he found her jefferson 107 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:39,120 said it beautifully but 108 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:41,040 the founders understood that they were 109 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,440 about to turn the world right side up 110 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:44,879 they understood the 111 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:47,519 teaching mission of the american idea 112 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:48,480 and 113 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,159 not only has america been the most 114 00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:52,319 resplendently successful nation in the 115 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,439 history of the world 116 00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:55,360 it changed the system around the world 117 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,159 simply by example 118 00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:00,959 yeah they were truly radicals at the 119 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,080 time 120 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:04,000 truly radical and i know i know you've 121 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:05,360 you've written about that yeah 122 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,959 yeah it's really important to understand 123 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,720 what a radical idea this was 124 00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,799 this is the american regime is the most 125 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:12,159 radical attempt 126 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,840 to bring about human liberty in the 127 00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:15,200 history of mankind 128 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:18,160 it still is it's completely based on the 129 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:18,799 idea that 130 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:22,000 we the people are capable of self-rule 131 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:24,400 which was just considered crazy at the 132 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:25,040 time 133 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:27,120 people need countries need kings and 134 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,479 queens and emperors 135 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,160 like the solar system needs the sun that 136 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:31,919 was the idea and we 137 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,639 showed that it was just a false belief 138 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,800 yeah i think it is really important for 139 00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:40,320 people to teach younger people how 140 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:40,960 radical 141 00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:44,080 today in america are 142 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:47,199 arguing for the exact opposite right and 143 00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,320 you're stodgy and mainstream 144 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:52,880 to talk about the founders and the 145 00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:53,919 founding 146 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:56,560 when as you point out that no that is 147 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:57,680 the radical 148 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:01,440 arguing against 149 00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:04,080 that radical notion they want to go they 150 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:05,600 want to go back in time 151 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,240 oh yes you have that is good for you 152 00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,919 that's exactly what they're doing 153 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:11,440 they're arguing for us to go 154 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:14,400 back to a time when there's rulers and 155 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:15,199 and and 156 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:18,160 the so the rat because you know because 157 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:19,520 the american idea is like 158 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:22,000 the ultimate in radicalism crazy idea we 159 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:23,120 can rule ourselves 160 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,960 anything that goes away from that is is 161 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,120 these radicals have only one way to go 162 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:31,520 which is back to what we overcame 163 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,039 rulers yeah they here's a quote i think 164 00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:37,039 from one of your pieces the creation of 165 00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,800 the us it was the most 166 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:41,120 radical attempt to establish a regime of 167 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,080 liberty 168 00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:45,280 in the entire history of mankind these 169 00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:46,400 men were brilliant 170 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:49,440 but also the opposite of traditional 171 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:52,000 yeah they were overthrowing tradition 172 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:53,360 everywhere 173 00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:56,960 and uh and uh thanks for reading that 174 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,440 quote 175 00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,039 i think you read it i think it was i 176 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:05,270 so um now let's talk about 177 00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:08,800 equality that we talk about today and 178 00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,440 compare it 179 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,919 uh to what the founders had in mind i 180 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:13,440 mean let's just start with 181 00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,639 what would the founders reaction be to 182 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,560 these protesters 183 00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,639 that are in the streets and and this 184 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:22,240 radical movement today what would that 185 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,520 what would they say about it 186 00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:25,520 well you said it best it would be taking 187 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:26,960 us in the wrong direction ruled by the 188 00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,680 mob 189 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,680 you know that's what they you know the 190 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:30,880 french 191 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,639 didn't understand what was going on and 192 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:34,880 they had that crazy french revolution 193 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:38,160 you know uh which which was you know 194 00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:39,120 those mobs 195 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:41,840 and uh and people's heads on st on 196 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,720 stakes 197 00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:44,639 and a lot of people got uh guillotined 198 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:46,080 remember that and then 199 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:47,520 that thing kind of fell apart and then 200 00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:50,080 pretty soon they had napoleon 201 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:52,880 um you know who was ruled as a military 202 00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:53,680 dictator 203 00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:56,160 kind of on the model of you know hitler 204 00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:56,800 that kind of 205 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:00,160 in many ways and uh so what happened is 206 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,440 when you go for the mob rule you go for 207 00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:06,080 killing off the uh eating the rich and 208 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:07,199 all that sort of thing 209 00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:10,240 what happens is know from history what 210 00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:11,120 happens is 211 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,479 breakdown of social order and and the 212 00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:17,039 clear risk even here is of someone 213 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:18,560 taking over 214 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:21,680 um the way napoleon did that's 215 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:24,720 that's the game the american revolution 216 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:27,759 moved towards liberty for all 217 00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:30,000 and also created a situation where we 218 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,240 were able to become the most prosperous 219 00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:34,240 country in the world the french 220 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,319 revolution based on mistaken ideas of 221 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:38,000 equality 222 00:07:44,469 --> 00:07:41,360 resulted in chaos murder 223 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:44,479 and finally tyranny and and and what was 224 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:45,360 the f 225 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:49,440 their view of equality 226 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:53,440 the uh the uh um the the brilliance of 227 00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:54,400 the founders is 228 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:57,280 no place more clear and the fact that 229 00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:58,319 they understood 230 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:01,680 that equality only works if you have it 231 00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,039 together with unalienable rights if you 232 00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,199 if you have you have the idea of 233 00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:09,199 equality and you have the idea that 234 00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:11,039 you have your unanimous rights i have 235 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:12,879 mine you all do 236 00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:15,840 then the system can work the french 237 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,560 actually 238 00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:19,280 believed i know it sounds crazy but it 239 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:21,039 you know rousseau actually said 240 00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:23,680 that you know that the assist what the 241 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:25,759 system requires is that every person 242 00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:28,000 alienate their rights to the state 243 00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:29,919 completely 244 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:33,039 and that was their idea so so the the 245 00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:33,760 idea was 246 00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:35,760 we're going to have equality enforced by 247 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:36,800 the state 248 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,200 as a and the means of it is we all 249 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:40,880 alienate our rights to the state that's 250 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:42,000 what happened 251 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,760 it was a bit it was just it was crazy 252 00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:45,519 but i mean would you 253 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,360 would you compare it to the view of 254 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:52,080 black lives matter to as a pick one 255 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:52,880 organization 256 00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:55,600 or you know the progressive movement in 257 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:56,480 in america 258 00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:59,920 that um seems to have this utopian view 259 00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,240 that's the end result for everyone will 260 00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:04,160 be the same 261 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:06,160 it's basically exactly right your 262 00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,200 question is so 263 00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,440 brilliant because what we're what we did 264 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:11,440 is we had the one successful revolution 265 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:12,480 in the history of the world 266 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,560 you know the american revolution what's 267 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:16,320 happening now is an attempt to replace 268 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,440 that revolution 269 00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:19,360 let's let's do this over and let's do it 270 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,560 the way the french did 271 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:22,240 well if we do it over the way the french 272 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,920 did it's pretty clear 273 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:25,360 we know how it turned out for france 274 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:26,800 there's no reason to believe it wouldn't 275 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:29,279 turn out that way for us 276 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:32,080 so here's a perfect example to to use to 277 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:33,279 talk about how its 278 00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:35,519 equality is getting perverted i don't 279 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,320 know if you've 280 00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,080 you probably are aware of this but you 281 00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:40,160 know in california right now 282 00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:43,440 uh you know one one person 283 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,279 knew some maybe a couple other people 284 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:47,279 because we also have 285 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,959 people making independent decisions in 286 00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,640 each jurisdiction whether it be a 287 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:52,880 county health official telling you when 288 00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:55,040 you're allowed to go outside 289 00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,959 but you also have newsome creating these 290 00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:58,399 rules and 291 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,880 just when it looked like los angeles was 292 00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:02,640 close to meeting our covid 293 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:06,320 requirements of x percent infected 294 00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:09,920 and below a certain number per day 295 00:10:13,269 --> 00:10:11,920 the state came up with a new rule that 296 00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:13,279 said well it's not 297 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,079 enough for the county's numbers to be 298 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,240 below the thresholds 299 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:21,600 each minority community within that 300 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,399 county 301 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,640 oh yeah this came out just a few days 302 00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:26,240 ago this is why we're not going to open 303 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:26,800 anything 304 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,160 each minority community now they 305 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:30,880 identify which minority communities 306 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:34,240 it's african-american it's latino 307 00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:36,880 in its pacific islander those are the 308 00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:38,320 three communities 309 00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,440 that if there's pockets in within your 310 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:43,040 county those communities must 311 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,880 test also below those numbers and 312 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:46,480 everyone must wait 313 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,240 for them to get their numbers down to 314 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:50,000 where everybody else is and that's you 315 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,480 know that's 316 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:52,800 that's just healthcare quality that you 317 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:53,519 hear about 318 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,399 health equity i think is the term so 319 00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:58,959 what's wrong with health equity 320 00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:01,279 meaning that everybody gets the same 321 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:02,720 level of health care 322 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,000 right if you're the founders 323 00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:08,720 shouldn't you love that idea no that's 324 00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:10,880 not their idea of equality at all 325 00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:12,800 their idea the quality is that you know 326 00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,320 that that we 327 00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,880 are uh not born to be ruled and we can 328 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:18,240 rule ourselves and we will rule 329 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:20,160 ourselves by this system that we 330 00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,160 designed do you like it americans said 331 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:23,920 yes or we get to pick our 332 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:26,240 our our leaders in government who work 333 00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:27,440 as our agents 334 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:30,399 well you know newsom is a is a tyrant 335 00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:31,040 you know 336 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:32,880 and these uh these crazy things that 337 00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:35,440 he's doing are um 338 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,760 unbelievable the founders wouldn't 339 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,600 believe in doing it 340 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:42,480 that way the idea is all human beings 341 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:43,760 are created equal 342 00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:46,399 so this kind of equality is the one that 343 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:47,360 that says 344 00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:51,200 if there's more people in physics 345 00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:52,959 well if they're more men in physics than 346 00:11:56,870 --> 00:11:54,720 women we have to fix that 347 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,880 ratio which is you know everything has 348 00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:58,560 to be equal but that's crazy of course 349 00:12:01,910 --> 00:12:00,639 because um people have different 350 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,920 interests and talents 351 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,399 um well the the en i mean to create the 352 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,480 the give out the dumb example but uh the 353 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:08,320 nba needs to be finished that's where i 354 00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,720 was going 355 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:09,920 right there's far too many african 356 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:12,000 americans i'm sorry you called it a dumb 357 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,920 example that's exactly where i was going 358 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,839 i mean you know it's because it's so 359 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,680 obvious yeah it's not 360 00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:19,839 why is it that why is if that's so if if 361 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:21,760 more men are physicists than women 362 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:24,320 why isn't it a problem that you know 363 00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:25,120 that uh 364 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,399 it wasn't a scandal right so 365 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,839 there's really two problems it seems to 366 00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:31,519 me from the founders would have 367 00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:34,320 with this uh looking at these minority 368 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,440 communities and the health and the 369 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:37,040 minority communities one is you're 370 00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:38,079 identifying groups 371 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:41,360 based on their their race right ethnic 372 00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:42,240 background 373 00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:45,279 right and number two you're looking for 374 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:48,320 health equality among all people when 375 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:50,000 the founders were not concerned about 376 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,200 that type of equality at all at all the 377 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,760 whole notion that that that that jeff 378 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:57,519 bezos has more money than you and i do 379 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,959 and that you're better looking than i am 380 00:13:03,590 --> 00:12:59,920 it's some kind of 381 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:03,600 you know equality 382 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:05,040 it's just it's just not just not what 383 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,800 they were thinking about but they were 384 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:08,399 there's a communist idea that says we 385 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:09,760 have to take all the wealth from the 386 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,160 middle 387 00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:12,240 street and everybody gets exactly the 388 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:13,279 same slice 389 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:17,200 that's a that's an idea that really um 390 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:20,399 it came as not to get too complicated 391 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:21,519 but it came part of 392 00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:24,800 as part of a reaction to what america 393 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:27,360 showed about how things could be so you 394 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:28,079 know the 395 00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:30,480 the marxist thing happened you know like 396 00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:31,279 like 397 00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:33,760 you know almost a century later it got 398 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:35,120 it got going 399 00:13:39,509 --> 00:13:37,279 and it was part of a reaction to the 400 00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:39,519 founders and not at fulfillment 401 00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:42,320 so what's wrong with trying to make 402 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:43,199 health care 403 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,389 it's the it's this it's not the idea of 404 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:53,120 equality that the founders had 405 00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:54,800 they so that's one of the mix you know 406 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:56,959 so equality gets 407 00:14:01,189 --> 00:14:00,079 is being used as if you know it's from 408 00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:01,199 the 409 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,920 declaration what is actually being used 410 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:05,279 to promote is basically 411 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,399 a communist idea right so let's get 412 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:10,000 but let's just divorce ourselves from 413 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:11,760 the founders for a second and just 414 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:12,880 say you know what's wrong with it in 415 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:15,120 general yeah what would the founders say 416 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,279 if they were alive today to this idea 417 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:18,720 that hey 418 00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,720 we're our push is to make health care 419 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,920 equal for 420 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:23,279 everyone that should be an important 421 00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:25,120 objective and the government 422 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:30,079 should ensure that everyone in america 423 00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:33,600 gets equal healthcare you know it's one 424 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:34,480 of the i would say 425 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:37,680 if i have a single criticism of the 426 00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,320 founders 427 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:40,720 and and i say that as someone who who 428 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,519 respects them 429 00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:43,440 so much the more time i spend thinking 430 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:44,880 about them and reading them 431 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:48,240 the more my respect grows 432 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,440 but then the mistake they made 433 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:54,000 that was evident now that it never even 434 00:14:57,910 --> 00:14:55,360 occurred to them then 435 00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,920 was the the american founder should 436 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,120 emphasize 437 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:01,440 freedom of religious care of freedom of 438 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:02,160 health care 439 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,279 just like they emphasized a religious 440 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,959 conviction i mean that was like the 441 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:09,040 biggest thing to the founders really 442 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,480 that the big change they made was 443 00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:14,959 that there wasn't a state religion it 444 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:16,560 wasn't going to be a state religion 445 00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:17,839 certainly there was in every other 446 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,760 country with the monarch so here we're 447 00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:21,120 going to have religious freedom 448 00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:24,800 and that was madison's most ardent 449 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:27,199 concern and belief founders were really 450 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:28,160 big on all that 451 00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,920 they just didn't see what was possible 452 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,519 for medicine 453 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:33,440 and they should have if they had known 454 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:34,560 and they didn't know and so they're 455 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:35,680 completely forgiven 456 00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:37,600 by everyone who thinks about it they 457 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:39,040 should have emphasized that 458 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:43,519 the need of freedom of health care 459 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:44,800 you're happening to you haven't talked 460 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:48,000 to somebody who um 461 00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:51,759 is very skeptical of much that goes on 462 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,720 in medicine 463 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:55,279 and extremely alarmed by the idea that 464 00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:00,949 straightjacketed into a certain level of 465 00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:01,680 government 466 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:05,680 dispensed rationed and uh and 467 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,000 and bureaucratic care as like they have 468 00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:12,000 for example in england are you familiar 469 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:14,639 with that you know with the scandals of 470 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:17,360 people laying in you know in hospitals 471 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,240 and gurneys 472 00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,920 you know in halls and dying and stuff 473 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:21,440 like that because because 474 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,720 places run bureaucratically i mean i can 475 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:26,560 i'm going on too long but i now have my 476 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:28,480 answer 477 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:30,240 remember back when at the beginning of 478 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:31,600 the trump administration 479 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,600 when he talked about the scandal at the 480 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:35,680 um you know for healthcare for veterans 481 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:36,480 at the veterans 482 00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:38,480 administration those doctors were 483 00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,160 government employees 484 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:42,639 operating by bureaucratic rules and the 485 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:43,839 victims in that same 486 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:46,880 situation were the veterans so 487 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:49,040 so those when you have that kind of a 488 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:50,240 situation where the people who are 489 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:52,639 giving the treatment can't be fired 490 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,839 and the people who are getting the 491 00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:55,759 treatment can't go anywhere else you 492 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:57,839 have a predictable outcome just like 493 00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:01,120 you had at the va which trump corrected 494 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,440 and just like you have today in england 495 00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:05,600 now when i was last in england 496 00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:09,360 they had they still had um free 497 00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:12,160 you know they had an open market in real 498 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:12,720 doctors 499 00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:15,039 outside of that bureaucratic system so 500 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:16,160 when i was there 501 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:19,039 um i i sought treatment you know from uh 502 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:20,559 from a doctor that i 503 00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:23,600 was privileged to hire and um and pay 504 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:25,199 as opposed to somebody assigned to me at 505 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:27,439 random 506 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,720 um yeah so you're talking about complete 507 00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:32,480 government takeover of healthcare that's 508 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:32,799 what 509 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:36,080 have been some 510 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,950 amendment in the bill of rights freedom 511 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:44,000 of healthcare 512 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:45,440 what about government state government 513 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:47,039 stays out of health care just like it 514 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:48,400 stays out of religion 515 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:52,320 stays out of uh the press you know 516 00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:53,760 what would they say though about the 517 00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:56,720 government simply helping out the poor 518 00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:58,240 when it comes to health care so so the 519 00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:59,679 government is going to provide free 520 00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:00,080 health 521 00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:03,440 care and it did the poor uh 522 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:06,080 it it uh there were there were there was 523 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,640 you know 524 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,720 nothing like the welfare state then but 525 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,280 but the poor were always 526 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:13,360 taken care of in colonial america and in 527 00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:14,400 the early days 528 00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:16,160 you know they had homes for these people 529 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:17,440 and things like that 530 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:18,720 but wasn't that private wasn't it 531 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:20,240 private charity primarily that was 532 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:21,919 providing for that 533 00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,720 um or is it actually the government you 534 00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:26,480 it's mostly private charity 535 00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:28,880 but but uh there were government poor 536 00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:29,520 houses 537 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:32,080 and which were residences for the poor 538 00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,640 that were 539 00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:35,039 paid for by government of course it was 540 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,760 it was 541 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:38,000 in those days it varied very much from 542 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,160 from state to state and city to city 543 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:43,200 so i'm not an expert enough to tell you 544 00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:45,360 overall what the percentages were and 545 00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:46,880 probably nothing from the federal 546 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,760 government 547 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:50,080 it would all be local oh yeah oh 548 00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:50,880 definitely and 549 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:52,400 the founders intended for the federal 550 00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:53,919 government to be concerned with our 551 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:55,840 america's relations with states around 552 00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:56,640 the world 553 00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:58,640 and and economic relations among the 554 00:19:02,789 --> 00:18:59,760 american states 555 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:02,799 so the original uh cabinet you know was 556 00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:05,919 was a uh war and 557 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:10,160 and navy treasury and state that was it 558 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:13,520 because the the idea was that the united 559 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:14,880 states the states were to come together 560 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:15,919 and unite 561 00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:19,120 and the federal government would deal 562 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:22,320 collectively with the world and 563 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:25,440 also coordinate the economic keep open 564 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:25,919 the 565 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:29,600 um 566 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:32,080 so there really wasn't a uh the founders 567 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:33,039 never dreamed of a 568 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:35,200 department of health and human services 569 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:36,640 or our 570 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:38,640 housing and urban development or any of 571 00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:40,000 that kind of stuff and 572 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:44,559 it was in individual individual freedom 573 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:47,200 was their focus they called it the 574 00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:48,080 liberty of the 575 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:50,559 of the individual and recognizing that 576 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:52,000 everyone is free 577 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:54,480 to choose their course in life make 578 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:55,919 their own decisions 579 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:59,039 right go out and live their life as they 580 00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:59,600 choose 581 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:01,360 as a free individual free thinking 582 00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:03,360 individual so 583 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,039 uh absolutely so you're in agreement 584 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:07,200 with that okay so how would the founder 585 00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,799 what would the founders say about the 586 00:20:13,510 --> 00:20:10,640 way we're treating kovid 587 00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:13,520 and we are putting aside the example i 588 00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:15,120 gave but just speaking more generally 589 00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:16,320 about the idea that 590 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:18,000 you know we're not being allowed to make 591 00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:20,720 our individual choice as to how much 592 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:21,600 risk 593 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:22,960 to put ourselves through i mean 594 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:24,799 theoretically 595 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:27,360 there could be no rules regarding covid 596 00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:29,360 and everyone makes their own decision 597 00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:32,320 as to whether to leave the house whether 598 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,840 to wear a mask whether to go to a 599 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:35,360 restaurant whether to go to a sporting 600 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:36,159 event 601 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:39,280 um and if you're afraid to do those 602 00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:39,760 things 603 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:42,799 or you're in a high risk category you 604 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:44,559 would choose to be much more cautious 605 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,840 and perhaps stay home 606 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,400 and people who are in low risk or don't 607 00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,400 mind taking the risk would would go out 608 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:52,640 and everybody would individually decide 609 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,760 what to do 610 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,520 so that's the alternative to what we're 611 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:57,120 doing what would the founders say about 612 00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:57,760 all this 613 00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:59,600 yeah but that was that would they would 614 00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:00,880 assume that you know that's they 615 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:02,080 wouldn't even think about it i mean they 616 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:03,360 did it in sweden by the way and it's 617 00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:04,640 worked out great 618 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:07,919 this um you know i was recently in um 619 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:12,000 hill country of texas for a week and um 620 00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:14,159 people there weren't wearing masks now 621 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:16,159 the employees who had to wear masks were 622 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:16,960 wearing them 623 00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:19,200 so my wife and i talked to the the 624 00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:20,000 texans about 625 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:22,159 why they didn't wear masks and they said 626 00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:23,679 well you know this is uh 627 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:26,080 that the word sheep was mentioned off 628 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,120 and really 629 00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:28,799 everybody we talked about the same same 630 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,159 thing this is 631 00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:33,200 this is theatrical and its meaning 632 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:36,320 is conditioning people to um 633 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,559 to be uh more and more accepting of 634 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:41,120 being pushed around by the government 635 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,200 and uh i think that's absolutely true 636 00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:45,120 there's no you know 637 00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:47,200 this is some kind of strange political 638 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:48,320 thing it doesn't have any to do with 639 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,960 health 640 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:50,400 and that's why we should have our 641 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:52,400 independent ability 642 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:55,120 guaranteed by the uh by the bill of 643 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,679 rights 644 00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:57,200 that would protect us from this kind of 645 00:22:00,870 --> 00:21:59,280 nonsense i mean dennis prager wrote 646 00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:00,880 i'm going on too long all right dennis 647 00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:02,720 frager wrote a beautiful thing and he 648 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:03,280 said that 649 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:04,960 okay maybe the two weeks made some sense 650 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:06,960 but since then this is a crime we know 651 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:07,520 this is 652 00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:12,880 going to happen with every virus 653 00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,559 eventually the whole the whole 654 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,559 population of the world 655 00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:18,640 is going to um be exposed to it and 656 00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:19,840 adapt to it 657 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:22,559 that's it's a fact it's it's just so 658 00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:23,280 stunning 659 00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:26,400 how few people articulate this though 660 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:28,159 this idea that i just 661 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:31,280 stated which is i'm not claiming uh 662 00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:32,880 credit for it obviously but just the 663 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:34,240 idea that everybody makes their own 664 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:35,520 individual decision 665 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:38,720 as to how to act in light of kovid 666 00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:41,600 but it's not here but i'm not hearing 667 00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:42,960 anyone 668 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:44,799 for the most part you just said prager i 669 00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:46,000 mean obviously some conservative 670 00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:47,520 commentators and so on 671 00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:49,760 but as far as politicians in office 672 00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,200 politicians 673 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:53,600 you don't hear anybody advocating for 674 00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:55,280 this you don't hear trump 675 00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:58,159 trump's you know really bad in my view 676 00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:59,200 even though the left 677 00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:01,360 criticizes him for not doing enough i 678 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:02,320 think he deserves 679 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,720 more critique from the right for doing 680 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:06,000 too much 681 00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:08,320 you've got desantis in florida at least 682 00:23:11,029 --> 00:23:09,679 he seems to be 683 00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:11,039 kind of getting what you and i are 684 00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:13,440 saying which is this is individual 685 00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:17,200 choice but gosh besides desantis i just 686 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:19,120 don't see anyone 687 00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:22,320 it's a frightening thing uh the the way 688 00:23:24,630 --> 00:23:23,919 the people the american people have 689 00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:24,640 accepted 690 00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:26,080 having their rights taken away i mean 691 00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:27,760 people are having are being subject to 692 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:28,960 house arrest for 693 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:30,720 just for living in america i mean this 694 00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:33,840 is not this is this is crazy we've had 695 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:36,320 it may be that the hong kong flu was 696 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:37,120 more deadly 697 00:23:41,909 --> 00:23:40,159 well not that long ago we made we 698 00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:41,919 didn't do any of these things we left it 699 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:43,760 in this way you described which is 700 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:46,720 okay take you know use your head make 701 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:48,400 your own decisions 702 00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:50,880 consider your health consider how 703 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:52,559 confident you are in your immune system 704 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:54,080 you know whatever and go about your 705 00:23:56,789 --> 00:23:55,440 business that's the way we've always 706 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:56,799 handled these things 707 00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:01,120 one you know one one one you know sars 708 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:03,440 you know uh swine flu all of them have 709 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:04,880 been handled the same way this is 710 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:08,320 completely new and completely crazy 711 00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:10,799 yeah i don't think in the history of our 712 00:24:15,269 --> 00:24:12,880 country we've ever quarantined 713 00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:15,279 um healthy people it's never been done 714 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:16,159 before 715 00:24:19,269 --> 00:24:17,520 i know a little bit about this and i've 716 00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:19,279 written quite a bit by the way about 717 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:22,640 this mistake i just i just want to say 718 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:25,520 kind of in trump's defense um that when 719 00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:26,720 i saw him 720 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,799 come out there the very first time he 721 00:24:32,149 --> 00:24:30,400 felt she was by his side 722 00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:32,159 i turned to my wife said okay we're in 723 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:34,559 trouble now because you may not remember 724 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:36,480 but fauci was the person 725 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:39,840 who had america believing 726 00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:42,000 that we were all at risk just from 727 00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:42,880 contact 728 00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:45,679 from getting aids so that was a so he 729 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:47,600 went before the congress back in the 80s 730 00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:48,960 and said i need hundreds of millions of 731 00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:50,559 dollars to do research so we can find a 732 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:52,159 vaccine 733 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:54,080 because everybody's at risk of getting 734 00:24:58,630 --> 00:24:56,640 aids we have to have a vaccine or else 735 00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:58,640 populate we could have the population be 736 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,559 devastated by aids well he got the 737 00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:02,320 hundreds of millions you still don't 738 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:03,679 have a vaccine for it 739 00:25:10,149 --> 00:25:07,440 and he's and this time it was uh the 740 00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:10,159 reigns if you'll excuse the quote marks 741 00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:11,120 around that word 742 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:14,159 of this of this response he's a guy who 743 00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:14,880 should have been 744 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:18,480 uh when he testified before congress 745 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,919 i knew better and i believed then that 746 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:23,760 that he knew better that what he was 747 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:25,600 saying wasn't true now it's possible he 748 00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:26,320 was 749 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:29,120 mistaken but it seems very hard for me 750 00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:30,559 to believe it because the information 751 00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:31,840 that he was 752 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:34,720 was wrong about aids is as clear as the 753 00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:35,440 information 754 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:38,640 is that he was wrong about kobe 755 00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:42,240 i think he's run a you so whether he was 756 00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:43,279 mistaken 757 00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:46,640 or whether he was lying uh 758 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:49,039 he got he's frightened to come the 759 00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:50,640 country was frightened 760 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:53,120 congress was frightened into giving him 761 00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:54,400 you know really 762 00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:56,000 million tens i think hundreds of 763 00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:58,320 millions of dollars even 764 00:26:01,830 --> 00:25:59,760 yeah well there's this battle going on 765 00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:01,840 you know trump gets criticized that he 766 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:03,039 doesn't you know trust 767 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,880 the scientists we need to trust the 768 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:06,080 scientists right 769 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:10,240 well you know the the politicians job is 770 00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:11,520 to listen to 771 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:14,000 all sides and yes listen to the 772 00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:15,120 scientists 773 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:17,120 but you also have to take into account 774 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:18,240 everything else 775 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:19,840 so this whole idea that we should just 776 00:26:24,390 --> 00:26:22,240 lock step do what the scientists 777 00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:24,400 tell us to do my doctor tells me not to 778 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,679 eat red meat 779 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,679 but i make my own decision and i said no 780 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:29,520 i eat red meat in moderation i make my 781 00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:31,919 own individual so i get the advice 782 00:26:35,909 --> 00:26:33,360 and then i decide what to do with that 783 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:35,919 advice we've fallen into this trap 784 00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:39,600 where no the the scientists tell us 785 00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:41,279 what the doctors who are always very 786 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:43,440 conservative inherently 787 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:46,240 all about protecting your health we 788 00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:47,760 should be doing what they tell us 789 00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:50,000 to do but they're just looking at it 790 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:50,880 from one's 791 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:52,960 one vantage point it's fine what they're 792 00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:54,880 advising that's one vantage point 793 00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:56,880 just like they can advise us that going 794 00:26:59,430 --> 00:26:58,559 fast on the freeway is more likely to 795 00:27:01,350 --> 00:26:59,440 result in 796 00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:01,360 an accident and then we make the 797 00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:03,279 decision where to set the speed limit so 798 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:04,640 that's what seems to be 799 00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:05,919 missing this equation and i would 800 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:08,000 criticize trump for this that he's 801 00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:11,120 not showing that other side 802 00:27:14,230 --> 00:27:13,200 enough you know you've you've got the 803 00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,240 the the coveted 804 00:27:17,990 --> 00:27:16,559 uh task force but what happened to that 805 00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:18,000 economic task force that there was going 806 00:27:21,190 --> 00:27:19,360 to be i mean every time they come out 807 00:27:22,310 --> 00:27:21,200 with three with with reporting on how 808 00:27:24,789 --> 00:27:22,320 we're doing on covid 809 00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:24,799 i want a report side by side with that 810 00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:26,320 on how we're doing with the economy 811 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:29,039 and how we're doing with the unintended 812 00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:31,120 consequences health consequences of the 813 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:32,240 shutdown that should be 814 00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:35,360 on the very next slide yeah 815 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:37,039 well you know the first thing i wrote on 816 00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:38,559 this back in back 817 00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:40,480 at the beginning i wrote three on our 818 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,760 series of three articles and what i 819 00:27:45,190 --> 00:27:42,960 argued for is that 820 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:45,200 you know fauci was shown to be uh on 821 00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:47,039 someone not to put your trust in 822 00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:49,200 and that and that besides to listen to 823 00:27:52,389 --> 00:27:50,480 one doctor 824 00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:52,399 is not what we do in our personal life 825 00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:54,080 uh you know you you seek a second 826 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:54,720 opinion you 827 00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:57,279 seek a third opinion and so i argued 828 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,640 that what we needed was a team b 829 00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,080 approach there's a lot of 830 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:02,399 epidemiologists out there who said 831 00:28:05,909 --> 00:28:04,960 exactly what's happened you know at the 832 00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:05,919 time 833 00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:09,039 and i said that that uh you know that 834 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:10,080 that cruise ship 835 00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:13,120 was a perfect test it tells us we don't 836 00:28:16,149 --> 00:28:14,240 know anything now 837 00:28:17,909 --> 00:28:16,159 that we didn't know from looking at how 838 00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:17,919 the people on that cruise ship did 839 00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:19,200 they were locked together they couldn't 840 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:21,360 get off everybody was exposed 841 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:25,120 only the old died some were sick 842 00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:26,880 sitting more we had a rough time some 843 00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:28,960 weren't so sick that's that that profile 844 00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:30,799 is the profile we have today 845 00:28:33,909 --> 00:28:32,399 so uh and there were plenty of 846 00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:33,919 epidemiologists pointing to that into 847 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,960 other factors that said 848 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:36,720 hey you know the right thing to do is 849 00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:37,840 what you were talking about the right 850 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:39,760 thing is what sweden did do 851 00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:42,799 and um and we needed a team b at the 852 00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:43,279 beginning 853 00:28:47,669 --> 00:28:46,000 i i i actually tried to get some 854 00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:47,679 messages to trump about the today of the 855 00:28:55,669 --> 00:28:53,990 yeah and i mean it's just stunning how 856 00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:55,679 state governors have fallen in line for 857 00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:57,279 the most part and 858 00:29:01,830 --> 00:29:00,559 internationally that sweden is the only 859 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:01,840 example 860 00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:04,559 and surprising it's surprising right who 861 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:06,880 would have guessed sweden 862 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:10,080 but but also you you also still don't 863 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:11,440 hear that much about sweden i mean 864 00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:12,320 sweden no they've been 865 00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:14,799 it's talked about huh it's being 866 00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:16,080 suppressed and people still 867 00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:18,799 think that you know uh a long time new 868 00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:20,320 york times another said that the sweden 869 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:22,240 experiment was a nightmare 870 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:23,760 and uh so they're not they're not 871 00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:25,360 changing their story you know they're 872 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:26,960 not coming out and telling how how well 873 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,760 it worked 874 00:29:30,389 --> 00:29:29,279 yeah i mean i think the right thing to 875 00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:30,399 say about this is this doesn't have 876 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:31,760 anything to do 877 00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:35,200 with the um with the with this flu 878 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:37,279 we've never reacted to a flu like this 879 00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:39,360 before this is a worldwide 880 00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:43,360 impulse to tyrannizing over citizens 881 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:46,399 it's amazing yeah and it's um 882 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,679 reflective of the american population 883 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:52,000 today that we have become so accepting 884 00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:52,720 of it 885 00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:55,360 the other barometer that i've used is 886 00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:56,000 the fact 887 00:30:02,630 --> 00:29:59,279 that bernie sanders a 888 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:02,640 devout open socialist 889 00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:06,000 yeah got half of the votes from uh 890 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,000 the primary voters uh in when he ran 891 00:30:12,389 --> 00:30:10,240 against clinton and also was 892 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:12,399 almost you know he almost went one twice 893 00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:13,600 basically so 894 00:30:18,870 --> 00:30:17,279 that that that a large of a swath of 895 00:30:21,190 --> 00:30:18,880 americans 896 00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:21,200 believed that socialism is the right 897 00:30:26,470 --> 00:30:23,440 direction for america 898 00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:26,480 when that is the antithesis of what the 899 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:28,559 founders 900 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:30,880 would have ever thought of for this 901 00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:32,399 country maybe maybe you could just touch 902 00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:34,320 on that a little bit you know 903 00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:36,240 hey how did you know how did we get here 904 00:30:40,149 --> 00:30:37,440 and be 905 00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:40,159 kind of explaining why yes socialism is 906 00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:42,159 the opposite of what america was founded 907 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:43,279 on 908 00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:51,360 years ago 909 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:54,480 the progressives um 910 00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:57,279 came you know came to take over came to 911 00:31:01,190 --> 00:30:58,640 take over 912 00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:01,200 thought in america and so it got to the 913 00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:03,120 point you know you know bill ayers 914 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:06,399 the terrorist you know he he he stopped 915 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:09,120 um blowing up police stations became a 916 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,799 professor of education 917 00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:13,200 he was very honored and uh and had a big 918 00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:13,840 role 919 00:31:19,950 --> 00:31:17,120 so what's been happening is educators 920 00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:19,960 have been being educated by people in 921 00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:21,840 anti-americanism 922 00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:24,159 and the anti-americans all say socialism 923 00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:24,880 is better 924 00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:27,279 so you're these kids out there who are 925 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,200 knocking over statues of washington 926 00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:30,880 they learned in school of washington was 927 00:31:36,549 --> 00:31:33,279 a bad man slave owner 928 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:36,559 and that communism socialism is better 929 00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:38,640 and so they're just carrying out what 930 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:40,080 they were taught 931 00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:42,399 so it didn't come from nowhere if you'd 932 00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:44,080 be shocked if you 933 00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:47,440 you watched your alma mater 934 00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:51,120 where did you go to school uh uc irvine 935 00:31:54,389 --> 00:31:53,200 well i don't know how up you are and 936 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,399 what's going on there but there's some 937 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:56,000 things going on at uc irvine that would 938 00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:57,600 curl your hair if you don't know about 939 00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:59,039 it you might want to find out about it 940 00:32:02,710 --> 00:31:59,600 because 941 00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:02,720 what's happened is the the 60s 942 00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:05,279 radicals took over the universities and 943 00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:05,919 then 944 00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:08,159 and their uh those guys have retired to 945 00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:10,000 put even more radical people in 946 00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:12,080 and the things that are being taught in 947 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,480 uc irvine partici has got some really 948 00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:16,080 horrifying things going on 949 00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:18,880 and that's where it came from so so 950 00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:21,039 americans 951 00:32:24,230 --> 00:32:22,799 the young people were victims of a 952 00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:24,240 miseducation 953 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:25,840 and the americans who are frightened who 954 00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:27,600 are wearing these masks and i'm all into 955 00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:28,159 this 956 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:30,960 they're the victims of a very deceitful 957 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,080 press 958 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:34,320 that's frightening though and so they're 959 00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:35,600 they're disoriented 960 00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:39,200 by fear american people are the 961 00:32:42,549 --> 00:32:40,880 the american people in general are right 962 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,559 now disoriented by fear and the young 963 00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:44,240 people are disoriented by what they were 964 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:46,000 taught in school 965 00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:48,320 so one of the mantras that's used to 966 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:50,000 discredit the founders 967 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:52,159 um in the founding documents is the fact 968 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:53,039 that slavery 969 00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:56,480 existed at the time so and i mean i 970 00:33:01,509 --> 00:33:00,240 it's very very significant to justifying 971 00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:01,519 i think their movement 972 00:33:07,509 --> 00:33:05,440 to yes discredit so when the declaration 973 00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:07,519 of independence says that all men are 974 00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:09,039 created equal and you've explained that 975 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:09,600 means 976 00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:13,360 everyone uh not just males but females 977 00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:16,399 um but you had slaves 978 00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:19,440 so what what is the explanation for 979 00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:22,559 for that well do you know about you know 980 00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:25,120 what about happened in haiti 981 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:28,320 about the same time 1791 982 00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:29,440 what happened is that there was an 983 00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:31,840 uprising in haiti and and basically 984 00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:35,679 um it was a race war and in the end 985 00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:37,039 all of the white people were killed 986 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:39,279 that's so 80 haitian had its revolution 987 00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:39,600 you know 988 00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:41,679 france had it are we had ours haiti had 989 00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:42,880 theirs and theirs turned out to be a 990 00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:43,679 race war 991 00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:46,080 and all what what what that haiti was a 992 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:46,880 colony of 993 00:33:50,789 --> 00:33:49,840 what country france of france so they 994 00:33:53,190 --> 00:33:50,799 they cast off 995 00:33:54,389 --> 00:33:53,200 france and killed all the french killed 996 00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:54,399 yeah killed all the white people on the 997 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:55,360 island yeah 998 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:57,840 and so it was a terrifying thing at the 999 00:34:01,430 --> 00:33:59,760 end the guy who took over said 1000 00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:01,440 all the white people can come forward 1001 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:03,279 and be uh you know be forgiven and they 1002 00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:05,120 all came forward and they killed all of 1003 00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:05,600 them 1004 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:08,960 so so anyway so they so the the uh 1005 00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:11,040 it's a terrible thing to think about but 1006 00:34:13,750 --> 00:34:12,079 but there was a lot 1007 00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:13,760 there was a real fear of racial 1008 00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:15,440 animosity 1009 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:19,119 of race war you know uh and so 1010 00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,639 for example jefferson said there's 1011 00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:22,480 nothing that justifies this 1012 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:25,760 the the slaves have are 1013 00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:27,280 have un uh you know have unanimous 1014 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,599 rights just as we do 1015 00:34:32,869 --> 00:34:31,359 how do we get out of this situation 1016 00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:32,879 that's been created 1017 00:34:37,589 --> 00:34:34,879 which was created on ideas about 1018 00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:37,599 property pre-existed the ideas of the 1019 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:38,240 founders 1020 00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:40,000 so they inherited a situation where 1021 00:34:44,069 --> 00:34:41,280 these people were here 1022 00:34:44,790 --> 00:34:44,079 they didn't like it what to do let's 1023 00:34:47,829 --> 00:34:44,800 just 1024 00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:47,839 let's every bit to declare everybody's 1025 00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:49,040 free tomorrow 1026 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:50,960 would have a lot of problems one of them 1027 00:34:54,710 --> 00:34:53,440 would be these people 1028 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:54,720 might not be able to take care of 1029 00:34:58,630 --> 00:34:57,119 themselves the people who claim to own 1030 00:35:00,230 --> 00:34:58,640 them might not be willing to go along 1031 00:35:00,950 --> 00:35:00,240 with that i mean it was a terrible 1032 00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:00,960 problem and 1033 00:35:06,310 --> 00:35:04,160 what happened was the the 1034 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,320 the american founders laid down the 1035 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:08,560 marker all men are created equal 1036 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,880 people are created equal that and that 1037 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:12,400 and that marker was fulfilled 1038 00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:16,079 at great cost in america 350 000 million 1039 00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:16,960 lives 1040 00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:20,240 to free slave it's a 1041 00:35:26,790 --> 00:35:23,599 story of incredible noble 1042 00:35:29,829 --> 00:35:26,800 sacrifice so instead of a race war 1043 00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:29,839 we had a war between between the south 1044 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:31,200 and the north that

by like 1117 00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:53,359 common sense 1118 00:37:59,109 --> 00:37:56,560 people are going to come together 1119 00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:59,119 with freedom of speech to say what they 1120 00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:00,320 believe 1121 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:03,680 and in an open market of ideas and 1122 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:04,560 beliefs 1123 00:38:08,069 --> 00:38:06,880 and that we were going to respecting 1124 00:38:10,950 --> 00:38:08,079 each other 1125 00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:10,960 come to conclusion about what's the best 1126 00:38:16,150 --> 00:38:12,960 that we can do in this circumstance 1127 00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:16,160 and uh that's not cancer culture 1128 00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:17,119 the founders wouldn't even have 1129 00:38:23,270 --> 00:38:19,520 understood the idea he couldn't have 1130 00:38:25,349 --> 00:38:23,280 made him understand well 1131 00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:25,359 the key idea is individual liberty yeah 1132 00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:26,560 well it's the height of political 1133 00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:27,680 correctness 1134 00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:30,880 and i think maybe to kind of as our last 1135 00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:33,760 thing to cover will help you give people 1136 00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:36,160 a little bit of an education because i 1137 00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:38,320 uh pulled out some quotes from uh i 1138 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:39,680 think was an article that you 1139 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:42,720 wrote about the issue of equality 1140 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:44,640 and what it really meant to the founders 1141 00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:46,320 and how it's been perverted 1142 00:38:49,349 --> 00:38:48,160 so i think it'd be helpful to people i'm 1143 00:38:51,589 --> 00:38:49,359 going to read some of this 1144 00:38:53,270 --> 00:38:51,599 and then but then i'll stop for you for 1145 00:38:54,150 --> 00:38:53,280 you to comment but this part's a little 1146 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:54,160 bit long but i think it's really 1147 00:38:58,390 --> 00:38:55,839 important for people to to hear 1148 00:38:59,670 --> 00:38:58,400 for for the founders our natural 1149 00:39:02,230 --> 00:38:59,680 equality 1150 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:02,240 and our in unalienable rights define 1151 00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:02,960 each other 1152 00:39:08,550 --> 00:39:06,320 the golden coin of liberty has two sides 1153 00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:08,560 on one side is our natural equality on 1154 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:09,599 the other side our 1155 00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:12,480 unalienable rights the enemies of 1156 00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:14,480 american liberty in academia 1157 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:16,960 in the media have substituted a 1158 00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:18,560 counterfeit

00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:25,920 recognize 1163 00:39:29,990 --> 00:39:28,480 on one side is the debased understanding 1164 00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:30,000 of equality 1165 00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:31,920 it claims to legitimize government 1166 00:39:37,030 --> 00:39:33,839 redistributing property 1167 00:39:38,069 --> 00:39:37,040 robbing peter to give to paul call it 1168 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:38,079

00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:07,280 expanding dictates of political 1325 00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:08,720 correctness 1326 00:45:12,950 --> 00:45:11,119 call it the pc side the founders 1327 00:45:14,950 -->

america is the common sense nation and 1340 00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:40,079 the idea was we're going to rule 1341 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:41,760 ourselves by common sense but political 1342 00:45:44,710 --> 00:45:43,760 correctness is the opposite of common 1343 00:45:47,430 --> 00:45:44,720 sense 1344 00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:47,440 you know um you know what you're saying 1345 00:45:50,630 -->

living in now where 1349 00:45:57,030 --> 00:45:55,359 political what is what's required by 1350 00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:57,040 political correctness 1351 00:46:03,030 --> 00:46:00,640 has replaced um your own ability 1352 00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:03,040 to uh try to understand for yourself and 1353 00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:04,400 even to express yourself 1354 00:46:08,069 --> 00:46:06,560 so more and more you're being required 1355 00:46:10,470 --> 00:46:08,079 to think a certain way 1356 00:46:11,990 --> 00:46:10,480 certainly to speak a certain way i mean 1357 00:46:14,150 --> 00:46:12,000 political correctness is you got to wear 1358 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:14,160 that mask when you go outside 1359 00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:17,680 you know political correctness is is 1360 00:46:24,870 --> 00:46:21,520 is a social force of 1361 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:24,880 tyrannizing over people's right 1362 00:46:28,069 --> 00:46:27,359 to unable right to think and judge for 1363 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:28,079 themselves 1364 00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:30,720 founders are big on that it's basically 1365 00:46:35,990 --> 00:46:31,599 thought police 1366 00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:36,000 all that kind of stuff it's it's 1367 00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:39,200 it's you have to and and that's brought 1368 00:46:42,309 --> 00:46:40,480 back to the cancer culture if you don't 1369 00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:42,319 think a certain way there's 1370 00:46:46,550 --> 00:46:44,560 there's already severe consequences 1371 00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:46,560 people have lost their jobs 1372 00:46:53,190 --> 00:46:50,640 people have um have been ostracized 1373 00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:53,200 simply for not agreeing with what's 1374 00:46:56,950 --> 00:46:54,240 politically correct 1375 00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:56,960 even when what they were saying was 1376 00:47:00,630 --> 00:46:58,720 actually correct 1377 00:47:01,829 --> 00:47:00,640 and and last thing to touch on as far as 1378 00:47:03,510 --> 00:47:01,839 how the founders would feel about 1379 00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:03,520 the the identity politics where it's 1380 00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:05,760 just everything 1381 00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:08,319 is about what is the person's gender 1382 00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:09,520 what is the person's 1383 00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:12,079 race what is their sexual orientation 1384 00:47:17,510 --> 00:47:13,760 and lumping everybody in 1385 00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:17,520 based on these categories uh 1386 00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:19,200 what would they say about that 1387 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:21,280 unthinkable i mean the whole idea was 1388 00:47:25,270 --> 00:47:23,760 we're going to have a country everybody 1389 00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:25,280 all human beings 1390 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:28,160 had their had not recognized because we 1391 00:47:32,390 --> 00:47:28,559 found 1392 00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:32,400 system and a country around the idea 1393 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:34,720 that was dedicated to the idea that we 1394 00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:35,520 have 1395 00:47:42,069 --> 00:47:40,000 rights 1396 00:47:43,109 --> 00:47:42,079 so the idea that would be divided up by 1397 00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:43,119 these kind of things 1398 00:47:46,549 --> 00:47:45,040 never occurred to them around the world 1399 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:46,559 that's the way it was 1400 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:48,000 you know there was the king and there 1401 00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:49,839 were the aristocrats and the aristocrats 1402 00:47:51,510 --> 00:47:51,200 at various levels you know dukes out 1403 00:47:55,270 --> 00:47:51,520 right 1404 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:55,280 outran kang counts and so on and 1405 00:47:58,870 --> 00:47:57,440 where where what you were as you were 1406 00:48:00,710 --> 00:47:58,880 born 1407 00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:00,720 determined everything about your life 1408 00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:02,880 you know in america the idea was 1409 00:48:05,829 --> 00:48:04,240 still working towards it many ways but 1410 00:48:06,630 --> 00:48:05,839 the id was doing a pretty good job the 1411 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:06,640 idea was 1412 00:48:12,150 --> 00:48:10,240 you individual are free and equal 1413 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:12,160 and it should go out there and achieve 1414 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:13,520 what you can have 1415 00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:15,839 the life that you choose for yourself 1416 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:17,200 that's 1417 00:48:21,270 --> 00:48:20,800 an idea when people come here from 1418 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:21,280 abroad 1419 00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:22,880 that's what they say i came here because 1420 00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:24,800 i want to create my own life 1421 00:48:27,910 --> 00:48:26,800 i don't want to live live the life that 1422 00:48:30,549 --> 00:48:27,920 was laid out for me 1423 00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:30,559 because of where i was born or who my 1424 00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:31,599 father was or 1425 00:48:36,390 -->

they're 1428 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,680 they're the ones 1429 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:41,119 that tend to have the genuine 1430 00:48:44,790 --> 00:48:43,200 appreciation for america 1431 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:44,800 i know some you know these are not 1432 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:46,559 illegal immigrants but they're 1433 00:48:50,230 --> 00:48:48,720 people who came here you know one

00:49:09,670 --> 00:49:08,319 and i did too yeah america is supposed 1444 00:49:12,150 --> 00:49:09,680 to be a concept but 1445 00:49:13,190 --> 00:49:12,160 people have forgotten the concept it's 1446 00:49:14,950 --> 00:49:13,200 been beaten out of them 1447 00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,960 when kids go to school that i know i say 1448 00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:16,559 look they're going to try to
