=== Hear No Evil, See No Evil (06:26) ===

[00:00:00]  Letting you know again, as I do almost every day, how teachers are corrupting education.
[00:00:06]  Do you have a better way of describing it?
[00:00:08]  Are teachers protesting in Oregon that math should be taught in the way to depict that there is a correct answer as white racism, as a form of colonialism, etc.?
[00:00:28]  By the way, here's a funny one.
[00:00:31]  But it's not funny.
[00:00:32]  It's just, it's absurd.
[00:00:34]  I think that's better.
[00:00:35]  You ever see, you know the three wise men?
[00:00:38]  The three wise monkeys?
[00:00:39]  See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil.
[00:00:44]  Officials at the University of York in the United Kingdom.
[00:00:47]  There is a contest between Canada, the U.S. UK, Australia, and New Zealand, the English-speaking countries, there's a contest about which can commit suicide fastest.
[00:00:59]  That is the contest.
[00:01:01]  I don't know who's winning.
[00:01:03]  Every time I think America is committing suicide faster, I look at Canada, and they may be going faster.
[00:01:11]  Then I look at the UK. So here's a UK example.
[00:01:14]  Officials at the University of York in the United Kingdom removed the depiction of three wise monkeys from the school's website.
[00:01:21]  After organizers of an upcoming history conference complained, the image could be deemed offensive to minorities.
[00:01:30]  So I'm curious.
[00:01:33]  There's a picture of it on their website, the three wise monkeys.
[00:01:36]  One holding, covering his mouth, one covering his ears, and one covering his eyes.
[00:01:41]  Oh, speak no evil, not do no evil.
[00:01:43]  That was the third one, right.
[00:01:46]  This is a very famous thing.
[00:01:48]  And it doesn't even originate in Western culture, as you will hear.
[00:01:52]  How many people look at that and think, oh, look at that, non-white?
[00:02:01]  The answer is the left.
[00:02:05]  That's the only answer.
[00:02:08]  I just think it's three monkeys.
[00:02:10]  What do you say to that?
[00:02:11]  Radical.
[00:02:13]  Upon reflection, we strongly believe that our first poster is not appropriate as its iconology promulgates a long-standing visual legacy of oppression and exploits racist stereotypes.
[00:02:26]  You must understand, if there's racism in The Three Monkeys, and if there's racism in mathematics, do you not understand my point how little racism there is?
[00:02:36]  The left invents it.
[00:02:37]  They've always invented foes.
[00:02:41]  In order to suppress liberty.
[00:02:44]  That's what they do.
[00:02:45]  They invent foes.
[00:02:47]  They invented an insurrection.
[00:02:49]  There was a riot, but there was no insurrection.
[00:02:53]  They invented collusion between the Trump campaign and Vladimir Putin's Russia.
[00:03:01]  They invent things.
[00:03:04]  It's Jussie Smollett exponential.
[00:03:11]  The three wise monkeys were supposed to represent the Japanese proverb, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, which describes people who turn a blind eye to wrongdoing.
[00:03:22]  But the organizers worried the imagery could be offensive.
[00:03:26]  We bring this to your attention so that we may be held accountable for our actions and our privileges.
[00:03:34]  Do and be better.
[00:03:39]  The move to remove the image caused confusion among some scholars in Japanese history.
[00:03:44]  With the former curator of the British Museum's Japanese collection, Tim Clark, saying he had, quote, no idea, unquote, why people would find the image racist.
[00:03:56]  Japanese Buddhism expert Dr. Lucia Dolce echoed Clark's sentiment, arguing that the monkeys would not be used to insult other cultures or races.
[00:04:08]  Quote, because the monkeys is a sacred being, they are vehicles to the deities.
[00:04:17]  How do you like that?
[00:04:20]  Now, to be honest, when I see the three monkeys covering one, his mouth, I assume it's a he, but it could be a she.
[00:04:30]  One covering its, I'll use, eyes, one covering its ears.
[00:04:36]  I don't think vehicles to deities either.
[00:04:42]  I don't see vehicles to deities, and I don't see non-whites.
[00:04:47]  I see three monkeys depicted in a way of saying people don't want to fight evil.
[00:04:55]  Right?
[00:04:56]  The word is evil.
[00:04:57]  Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
[00:05:02]  It's unbelievable.
[00:05:05]  Boredom and affluence is a bad combo.
[00:05:11]  These people are bored and wealthy, or at least very materially comfortable.
[00:05:20]  All right, everybody.
[00:05:23]  JR in Columbus, Ohio.
[00:05:24]  Hello.
[00:05:27]  Hey, Dennis.
[00:05:29]  So, wow.
[00:05:31]  Every day I listen to you, I learn something new.
[00:05:35]  But here's what's going on in Columbus, Ohio.
[00:05:38]  My son is an engineer at OSU. I'm very proud of him.
[00:05:44]  If my son told the professor that there's no wrong answer in mathematics, I think he'd be asked to leave.
[00:05:54]  And my daughter, this is the saddest part, 17 years old, both my children are wonderful young adults, My daughter's 17 years old.
[00:06:08]  I just found out a week ago my wife has been taking her to therapy.

=== Enough Come: Year Long Sacrifice (00:51) ===

[00:06:13]  She is a four-point student, varsity athlete, and this staying-at-home stuff is killing these kids.
[00:06:24]  It is killing them.
[00:06:25]  That's right.
[00:06:27]  And I can't say it strongly enough, and here's what I've come to acknowledge.
[00:06:36]  Where is the backbone of this country?
[00:06:40]  Because we're not going on a month or two months.
[00:06:43]  That's right.
[00:06:44]  We're going on a year, and we put up with it every day.
[00:06:48]  That's right.
[00:06:49]  Well, that is the reason.
[00:06:54]  Remember, I substituted the land of the free and the home of the brave with better safe than sorry at the end of the national anthem.
