| Many more questions here, indeed. | |
| Let's go to Rudy in Houston. | |
| Hello, Rudy. | |
| Yes, hi. | |
| Good afternoon. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Good afternoon. | |
| Well, actually. | |
| Yeah, so back in 2014, you wrote an op-ed in Natural Review, probably doesn't cause crime. | |
| And so my question is... | |
| Is that something that you still believe in with regards to what the left and what the students and universities are being taught? | |
| Is that something that you still believe in? | |
| Completely. | |
| If poverty caused crime, talking about American poverty, not starvation poverty. | |
| The question is, do you believe that universities today... | |
| Yes, I do believe that. | |
| Yes, I do believe that. | |
| Okay, well, no, well, I mean, I'm in my master's school, right? | |
| Now, question, question. | |
| When, in your op-ed, you didn't quote anybody, you didn't reference anybody, you know, these people who said that poverty causes crime, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and get you read it. | |
| Let me ask you a question. | |
| Are you denying... | |
| Let me talk, because you talk till now. | |
| Do you deny that the left-wing position since Karl Marx to Columbia University today is not that poverty causes crime? | |
| If not poverty, what causes crime? | |
| Okay, well, here's the thing. | |
| What causes crime in the left's view? | |
| If you don't answer me, I'll move on. | |
| What causes crime? | |
| I'm going to answer the question. | |
| Good. | |
| You need to let me answer the question. | |
| Because you were trying not to. | |
| Okay, you have to distinguish between two methods of coming to a certain opinion, right? | |
| You mentioned Karl Marx. | |
| Karl Marx is more of a philosophical... | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| You're wasting my time. | |
| I feel bad because I took you because you disagree with me. | |
| I like that, but you're wasting my time. | |
| There's very little left. | |
| I asked a simple question. | |
| If poverty isn't the cause of crime according to the left, what is? | |
| And then I'm getting a discourse about the approaches of Marx and others. | |
| Everything the left thinks and does is wrong. | |
| They're always wrong. | |
| Liberals are right and wrong. | |
| Conservatives are right and wrong. | |
| Left is always wrong. | |
| They don't blame people. | |
| They blame capitalism. | |
| They blame unemployment. | |
| They don't blame a lack of fathers. | |
| A lack of fathers is infinitely more important than any other single thing in producing decent, good people. | |
| And they won't admit it. | |
| Okay, everybody, a wonderful weekend. |
