	Hey everybody. Yes, that's right.
	It is Sifan Molyneux from Free Domain.
	I hope you are doing well.
	I hope you are staying safe in this.
	Do you know that 2020 is only like 41% complete?
	Can you just picture it in your mind?
	This has been one hell of a year so far.
	My God. It has been...
	Mind-blowing. I mean, I said it was all going to come to a head this year.
	I said this last year, and boy has it ever, and a half, come to a head this year.
	So, hi, everybody.
	Let's, you know, just take a minute or two to get acquainted in a civilized fashion before we dive into the analysis of what is going on in this crazy world we got going for us.
	And, uh, how are you guys?
	Are you staying safe, my American friends?
	Hey, uh, let's, uh, Hello, Sam.
	Hello, Michael. Steve.
	Dylan. Ted.
	Nazreen. Follower.
	And Daniel. Justin.
	James. Aaron. Good Debs.
	Bless you. William Hastie.
	And John.
	Corporal. Brian. Veritas.
	Joe. Control.
	Alt. Debug. Hmm.
	I could have used you in my programming days.
	Brian Young, nice to meet you.
	James Gabriel Mendoza, nice to meet you.
	Ashley Bishden, hello.
	Alexandria Octopus Cortez, sounds a little grabby.
	And hi, everybody.
	It's really, really great to see you this evening, and I really do appreciate you dropping by.
	It is, of course, as always, a great honor, a great pleasure to be able to chat with you guys, and I'm going to give you the answers.
	I am going to take my career, my career, Social media presents my life perhaps in my hands, and I'm just going to tell you the answers as to what is going on that people really can't see.
	And unfortunately, it is, of course, quite the plan that you don't see it.
	Tragic, sad, somewhat inevitable.
	But we are going to get into it.
	And I do want to get your questions, of course.
	I'd love to hear what's going on with you guys.
	Just before we do start, curfew in Philadelphia at 6 p.m.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Hello from New Zealand, Nick.
	Hello, the stoner koala.
	Hello, Eric. And Jake says, Steph, I love you.
	God bless. Well, bless you two back.
	And thank you so much. I love you guys as well.
	And as a black Muslim in America, I love you, Stefan.
	Thank you, DJ. I appreciate that.
	I return your love with alacrity.
	And Owen says, please just notice me, Stefan.
	Bye. Montreal, ground zero for Quebec's pandemic.
	And you guys have some Antifa floating around, right?
	Out in Vancouver, Antifa is doing their ugly things.
	The same group that when I was out there last year, trying to give a speech.
	I don't know if it was Antifa themselves, but some extreme leftists threatened the venue.
	Vandalized a church, threatened a priest.
	Oh, all of that kind of stuff.
	Well, who was better, the Beatles or the Stones?
	Well, the Beatles were better in the 80s, and the Stones are more relevant to the 2020s, the 2020s.
	So, yeah, we will get into it.
	And you are going to leave this conversation enlightened to the point where you're going to get a sunburn in your frontal cortex.
	So... Yeah, the autopsy.
	Oh, have you guys been following this?
	So there was an original autopsy from Mr.
	Floyd, Mr. George Floyd.
	There was an original autopsy where they said it wasn't asphyxiation, it wasn't strangulation, and from what I've heard, the people who've informed me, who seem to know what they're talking about, asphyxiation is cutting off The air and strangulation is cutting off the blood flow.
	And then there was another autopsy, which was commissioned by the family of Mr.
	Floyd. I keep thinking of pink.
	It's really not good.
	And that came out that the headline...
	You always got to dig in past the headline, right?
	So the headline...
	This is from ABC News.
	The headline said, Independent autopsy finds George Floyd died of homicide by asphyxia.
	The examination was led by a former New York City medical examiner.
	And there's a bunch of summary and all of that, but basically he says, look, you can't tell.
	You can't tell asphyxiation because when you asphyxiate someone, right, you squish their neck, and then after you stop at a short while afterwards, you can't really tell anymore.
	So he based his finding of asphyxia from looking at the video.
	And he says this openly. He says, hey man, it's just my opinion.
	I couldn't tell anything medically, but it's just my opinion.
	I looked at the video and it looked like asphyxia to me.
	So that's not very valid.
	And of course, he was found.
	I just want to make sure I get...
	I don't want to speak off the cuff on something important.
	So this is from TMZ. Three letters that spell truth.
	So... The Hennepin County Medical Examiner released its toxicology findings.
	We were waiting for these. I was waiting for these all weekend, and they just came out today.
	Here's the funny thing, too. And listen, man, you can check this timeline.
	You want to know how correct I am?
	People were saying it was murder on Twitter today, and what did I say?
	I said, could be, could also be, he had a heart attack.
	Well, look at this. Look at this.
	George Floyd had fentanyl in his system when he was killed and died from a heart attack, according to The medical examiner.
	Now, fentanyl is pretty rough.
	It is pretty rough stuff.
	It's 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.
	It is a synthetic opioid pain reliever approved for treating severe pain, typically advanced cancer pain.
	Here's another one that says, this is from the DEA, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
	Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients applied in a patch on the skin.
	It's also, of course, diverted for abuse.
	It is added to heroin to increase its potency or to be disguised as highly potent.
	Heroin, fentanyl, is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and many times more potent than that of heroin.
	And let's see here.
	Drug users typically don't know when their heroin is laced with fentanyl, so when they inject the usual quantity of heroin, they can inadvertently take a deadly dose of fentanyl.
	They look, of course, identical, and it is absolutely nasty, incredibly dangerous stuff.
	So the Hennepin County Medical Examiner released its toxicology findings and say, George died from cardiopulmonary arrest, which complicated law enforcement's subdual restraint and neck compression of him.
	And that is critical, but the report also says this under, quote, how the injury occurred.
	It says George experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest while being restrained by law enforcement.
	He suffered a heart attack while they were arresting him, and that complicated their efforts to subdue him.
	The report says George had fentanyl in his system, and they also found signs of recent methamphetamine use.
	So, we've got one guy, the doctor for Floyd's family, who's mixed up, of course, with Crump, who said he died from asphyxia, even though he couldn't tell from any direct medical examination, but just was glancing away at the video.
	And here we have fentanyl, methamphetamine use, and a heart attack.
	And that's why America is burning.
	And for those of you who don't know, George Floyd had cocaine issues way back in the day.
	And so here we have a multi-decade drug abuser and drug addict, a violent man, who, according to some reports I've seen, also starred in pornography videos, or at least a pornography video.
	And cocaine can weaken and damage the heart in ways that are really tough even to show up on standard medical exams.
	So a multi-decade drug abuser.
	And see, when the cops tried to get him out of the car, he wouldn't cooperate.
	I think they finally got him out of the car, and they said, get in the cop car, right?
	You're under arrest, right?
	You're resisting arrest and so on, right?
	And he wouldn't get into the car.
	He says, hey, man, I'm claustrophobic.
	Now, of course, he may have been having anxiety attacks, may have been having a panic attack, or that may be when his heart decided to hit the road to Foreverland.
	And this is a terrible situation.
	It's a terrible, terrible situation.
	And, of course, the cops may still be responsible.
	Just to be clear, I don't know.
	This is the whole purpose that is going to be figured out.
	But this guy, methamphetamine, fentanyl, heart attack, come on.
	This idea that it was just straight-up murder, cold-blooded, first-degree cop-kill-and-murder, I mean, it's just terrible.
	Yeah, his death was ruled a homicide.
	Now, I'm not an expert on this, of course, right?
	So, the legal definition of homicide, right?
	So, homicide is broader in scope than murder, right?
	So, this is from the legal dictionary.
	So, you know, if we're going to get into the technical terms, let's get into them, right?
	So, it's homicide may not be criminal, right?
	So, the killing of one human being by another human being is ruled a homicide.
	But that doesn't mean that it's criminal.
	And of course, the typical example of something that is homicide but not criminal is self-defense.
	If you kill a person who's threatening you with death or serious injury, then you...
	I mean, this is the defense for the McMichaels with regards to Ahmaud Arbery, right?
	That he grabbed Travis McMichaels' shotgun and therefore Travis McMichaels had to use force to defend himself and so on, right?
	So murder is different, right?
	So murder is the unlawful killing of a person with malice, a forethought, a premeditated intent to kill.
	So every time a human being is killed by another human being, that is a homicide.
	And so there's not a lot of categories that you can put into...
	I mean, there's illness, accident, old age, natural causes, whatever it is, right?
	There's a certain number of things that you can put in.
	And was it an accident?
	No, he didn't fall off a ladder and crack his head on the pavement, right?
	Was it old age or was it natural causes?
	Well, no. Was it a direct illness?
	That's, you know, the heart attack.
	You say, oh, but he had a heart attack while he was being arrested because he was so stressed.
	It's like, okay, so what does that mean?
	You can't arrest anyone because they might have a heart attack?
	I mean, I don't know how that could possibly work.
	And he didn't say, I'm having a heart attack.
	He said, I can't breathe.
	And according to the lawyer, sorry, according to the medical examiner who was hired by Floyd's family, you can...
	Not be able to breathe, but still say that you're not able to breathe repeatedly.
	I don't know what the homicide means, that he did not die of natural causes.
	It was not an accident.
	It was not an illness.
	He was killed by someone.
	Now, I don't know the level of fentanyl that he had in his system.
	I don't think that's been released as yet.
	But if the fentanyl was laced, then maybe it was the drug dealer who killed him.
	Maybe it was the cop who killed him.
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, the guy had a bum ticker.
	He had heart disease.
	He was on fentanyl.
	He had recent methamphetamine.
	I mean, he was a mess.
	And maybe, maybe the cop is responsible, and that's something which we'll see played out at a court of law.
	There's a reason why he got third degree in manslaughter and not first degree, right?
	So... He certainly, the cop was not, as far as I can see, the cop was not trying to kill him.
	The cop was not targeting him.
	There's a reason why George Floyd was on the road, like on the ground, rather than in the car, because he wouldn't get in the car.
	And then they have a problem.
	And they saw, of course, that he was on, he was experiencing medical distress.
	That's why they called the ambulance, which took about 10 minutes to arrive.
	So we'll get...
	I'm sorry to be put on this to one side, but the fact that it's called a homicide simply means that it's not entirely natural causes.
	And we'll see.
	But this is something that you're not going to see of a lot...
	In the mainstream media. You're not going to see that George Floyd had heart disease, that fentanyl, which is a wickedly, wildly, incredibly dangerous, powerful drug, that he had a multi-decade history of drug abuse and all of that.
	It's just, right?
	And it's just one of the things that really, of course, bother me about all this kind of stuff.
	So people who say, well, he was killed because of a $10 bill or a $20 bill, that's not true.
	That's not the case.
	That's not reality.
	Because that's not the causality.
	I mean, that's not the way that the law works.
	It's not the way that the cops work.
	You get all of this, right? He died for a variety of reasons, some of which may have had something to do with the cops.
	I'm perfectly aware of that, and I'm happy to hear those cases, and that case will be put before.
	But as far as I've been able to tell, and I have looked this up, believe it or not, on the Minnesota News, I'd like to know more.
	But... This was not a man in his prime who had no health issues.
	And he had a heart attack from what the coroner is saying.
	The man had a heart attack.
	And cops can do some pretty mean things to you.
	They can beat you up. They can shoot you.
	They can give you tickets.
	They can arrest you.
	They can throw you in the back of a car.
	But they can't give you a heart attack.
	That's not within their power.
	They don't have that magical ability to give you a heart attack.
	And so because of that, we will have to see what is going to happen, how it's going to play out.
	We are going to have to see.
	But this, he was hunted down like a dog, he was killed in the streets because racist cop, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	That narrative, that narrative has completely fallen apart.
	Let's at least be honest about that.
	That narrative has completely fallen apart.
	And maybe there's some culpability on the part of the cops.
	That I don't quite understand.
	But the man had fentanyl, traces of methamphetamine, heart disease.
	He had a heart attack.
	I mean, this was not his day, man.
	This was not his day.
	And if he had not resisted arrest...
	And part of his resisting arrest might have had to do with the fact that his judgment was compromised by aforementioned fentanyl, which is not known for giving people clear and lucid decision-making capacities.
	So if he hadn't resisted arrest...
	Because, you know, there were two other black people in the car with him.
	I think a man and a woman. They didn't have their faces on the ground.
	They didn't have his offices on their back.
	They didn't have heart attacks.
	It's like with Rodney King.
	With Rodney King, there were two other men in the car, two other black men in the car with Rodney King in the 90s when he was screaming through...
	High as a kite neighborhoods, like suburban neighborhoods, before being apprehended by the cops.
	There were two other black men in the car with Rodney King, and they didn't get beaten up because they didn't psychotically try to resist and attack the cops.
	You attack the cops, you're gonna get beat.
	And attacking the cops is bad enough as a whole, but attacking the cops...
	When you're a 48 year old man with a bad heart and a history of heart weakening Drug abuse is a very, very bad idea.
	Listen, when you get older, man, I assume the audience is pretty young out there.
	Like, good for you, man. Good for you.
	But I'll tell you this. When you get older, you slow down.
	Like, you slow down.
	I had months of shoulder pain just from playing a couple of hard games of tennis.
	I never had that before in my life.
	And I know this is kind of ridiculous and hoity-toity crap with regards to what's going on.
	With George Floyd, but it's bad stuff.
	It's bad stuff.
	Well, I don't think he attacked them, but I think he was resisting arrest.
	That's what I understand.
	And so somebody says, so if I drink a bunch of coffee and a cop puts his knee on my neck and I have a heart attack, your logic is that my coffee drinking caused my heart attack.
	We don't know the causality.
	We don't know the causality and we will find out about the causality as time goes along.
	Right? A little more volume?
	Yeah, okay. We will find out about the causality.
	And that's part of what the examination is hopefully going to figure things out.
	That's what the examination is hopefully going to Figure things out.
	All right. So let's...
	I think he was resisting arrest.
	Well, no, you've got to see, you've watched the video.
	There's a video from a different angle wherein they're trying to get him out of the car and he's just not participating, right?
	You're a bleeding fool.
	You make conservatism look bad.
	I'm not a conservative. Would he have died by the pressure on his back or on his neck if he wasn't high on drugs and didn't have a heart attack?
	Don't know. And yeah, the combination.
	The conflation of coffee with fentanyl is not particularly great.
	Not particularly rational.
	No one deserves that type of treatment.
	This deserves thing, I gotta tell you.
	I mean... That's, you know, this is not the channel for you, if that's where your thinking is, because it's not thinking.
	You know, like, I don't mean to be all exclusionary, but, you know, like, real adults are trying to have intelligent and important conversations here about some very significant social issues.
	So if you're just like, well, no one deserves to be treated like that, that's, my daughter wouldn't say that.
	And she's 11. Right?
	I mean because it deserves and be treated and the man had agency.
	George Floyd had agency in the situation.
	George Floyd chose in the past to take drugs.
	He chose in the past to be part of a home invasion where he jammed a gun into a woman's abdomen And then ransacked her house for money and drugs.
	He chose to take methamphetamine.
	He chose to take fentanyl.
	He chose to resist arrest.
	So, I don't know what it means to be treated like that.
	Like, this isn't somebody just kicking a dog out of nowhere.
	This is a complex dance of choice and consequences.
	And you could say, ah, yes, well, but he didn't choose because he was on fentanyl.
	It's like, so? Once you choose to take the drug, you're still responsible for the consequences.
	Like, you don't get to walk away from a DUI hit and run and say, hey, man, but I'm an officer.
	I'm not really responsible for driving badly because I was drunk as a skunk.
	So... Yeah, if you're just bleating away in this completely brain-dead take of no one deserves to be treated that way, I mean, we're all adults here.
	We're trying to figure out a complex situation and trying to cool the tits of everybody who's currently rioting, which means we've got to deal with facts.
	We've got to stay with what is real, what has agency.
	We've got to treat everyone as an adult.
	And so this, you know, no one deserves, and he was killed for counterfeiting, and it's like...
	He was killed for being black.
	I mean, come on. For every 10,000 violent criminals, for every 10,000 violent criminals that are arrested, three, if it's 10,000 violent black criminals who are arrested, three of them get killed by cops.
	Do you know what the number is for 10,000 of whites?
	Four. Three black criminals, violent criminals, three black violent criminals per 10,000 violent criminals that are arrested or killed by cops.
	Four, that's more, four of the whites in the same category are killed by cops.
	What happened to his pornographic career wealth?
	Wealth, wasn't it? Mia...
	Oh, I must remember this girl.
	I knew in high school that that name.
	And Mia, someone of her, Mia Khalifa.
	Mia Khalifa, she was talking about how she just didn't make any money from her pornographic career.
	So, yeah, it doesn't seem to be a very big...
	Right.
	So, it may be.
	That the cop is to blame. It may be that the police are to blame.
	I think it's going to be hard. There's no way this guy's going to get a fair or just an objective trial anymore.
	That's just not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
	Because... It's really tough to try and get a fair trial when billions of dollars of property damage hang in the balance.
	When a riot that is being engaged in by a huge number of people, that is a very, very tough situation to have a fair and objective trial in.
	Because everyone's sitting there thinking, okay, well, one guy can go to jail for five or ten years.
	Or America can burn half to the ground again.
	That is really tough. Really tough.
	Police reform or accountability.
	Police reform or accountability.
	Okay, that's just a topic for another time.
	So I can't really speak to that with any particular value at the moment.
	That's a whole other topic.
	And, you know, those, of course, if you've followed me for a while, you know that I am an anarchist.
	And so I am an advocate for a stateless society.
	And so this idea that we're going to sit there and say, ah, well, how are the police going to handle this in a productive and positive way?
	I mean, for the police, right?
	Serve and protect is for the state.
	Like, they serve and protect the state.
	They serve and protect their masters.
	The police have zero duty to protect you.
	They have zero duty to show up and make sure that you're treated right.
	They have zero duty for any of that stuff.
	So I really, really just want to remind you about that, that the police...
	And, you know, I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday.
	He used to work at the security field, and he said, look...
	Okay, let's start talking about the causes of the riots.
	So the causes of the riots, I tell you, I feel like a goalie who failed.
	And that's not an easy feeling.
	So I have done over the past...
	I mean, I've been doing this show for like 15 years, right?
	So over the past... It's been about 10 or 11 years.
	I've been trying to stop all of these race-baiting, blacks-get-hunted-and-killed-by-whites-for-racist-pleasure narratives, right?
	And, of course, they peak in election years and all of that.
	So, I mean, one of my first big million-plus videos was George R.R. Martin.
	Wrong guy. It was Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
	George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
	And then Felinda Castile and Mike Brown.
	And, you know, this kind of went on and on.
	I did videos on Freddie Gray, on Jussie Smollett.
	And then, of course, I worked on Ahmaud Arbery.
	George Floyd. So I have been unpacking and attempting to push back against this race war baiting narrative.
	I mean, it just feels like Groundhog Day just goes on and on and on, around and around and around.
	And, of course, it's not just me, but I've certainly contributed and done quite a bit to help keep these...
	Situations from escalating to the kind of open hellscape that we see at the moment.
	I've done quite a bit to help out with that.
	And This one, this one got past me.
	Okay, it didn't get past me like I pushed back against it pretty hard.
	Of course, I've been suppressed.
	And if you ever want to see that, you could just go to YouTube and do a search for my name in the title bar and there won't be any autofill.
	There won't be any autosuggestions for me.
	It's terrible.
	It's hugely irresponsible. I have an account in good standing and they're just shadow banning like crazy.
	But... This one got past a lot of people.
	So there's a lot of people that I know who are in the alternative media movement, and they went full tilt boogie into the, this is a plain racist murder narrative, right?
	Boom. Straight up.
	Racist murder. And I was disappointed, to be honest.
	I mean, I'm frank with you, right?
	I mean, it's the old thing that...
	Aristotle says when he was criticizing Plato's theory of forms, he says, we love our friends, but we must love the truth more, for without the truth, we cannot actually have real friendships.
	And I do love my friends.
	I disagree with some of my friends, of course, at times, and they disagree with me.
	But in this particular instance, I thought a lot of the people in the alternative media scene just went off on, it's straight-up murder.
	And they were wrong. And that's unusual.
	And I think that was one of the weaknesses that the left was looking for.
	So, people say, well, how can there be riots when everyone agrees that this was a straight-up murder, right?
	Well, I think that's why there were riots, is that there wasn't enough pushback on the narrative.
	I think that's why...
	This was the one, because Ahmaud Arbery didn't quite get them to where they wanted to get to, but they got what they wanted with George Floyd.
	They got everyone to line up and say, this is straight up racist murder.
	And it's not. Maybe manslaughter.
	Maybe third degree. Maybe criminal negligence.
	It might be something. Or it might be that he thought he was getting heroin and he got fentanyl, and it stopped his heart because he is a multi-decade cocaine abuser, from what I've read.
	Or at least he was getting arrested for cocaine problems 20 years ago.
	And so why?
	This is interesting. So why did people in the alternative media do that?
	Why did they... In a sense, go straight to the most extreme interpretation and justify the riots, in a sense, right?
	Or at least pave the way towards the riots.
	Why? Well, I think what happened was the police, because normally conservatives and a lot of people in the alternative media are very pro-cop, right?
	You know, it was the old Saturday Night Live cartoon or skits, you know, when...
	I think Mike Myers was imitating Mick Jagger, saying, you've got to stand up for the cats in blue, man.
	And so what happened was, because of coronavirus, there were endless portrayals and pictures, of course, of the police arresting people for surfing or trying to arresting moms in front of their kids and dragging people off and not upholding the Constitution.
	And so a lot of people were like, whoa, whoa.
	That's not good. The police are acting very badly.
	And they're not our buddies.
	And there were a couple of cops who said, no, I'm not going to do this because it's unconstitutional.
	But most of them, of course, were like, yup, you tell me to go arrest people, I'll go arrest people.
	And so the fact that the cops were enforcing the despotic will of...
	A lot of Democrat governors, but some Republicans as well.
	The fact that the cops were just willing to march up and arrest people against the Constitution, a lot of people in the alternative media scene didn't feel so friendly towards the cops anymore.
	And then, of course, I mean, that was one of the differences between Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd was Ahmaud Arbery, kind of got heated up before the cops started dragging everyone for touching a swing set on a playground, right? I mean, so a lot of people weren't feeling kindly disposed towards the cops.
	So then when George Floyd came along, people's frustration and anger towards the police that they saw hemming them in week after week, month after month after.
	It was just like, hey man, we need to...
	Flatten the curve. It's just going to be two weeks of staying home.
	And then people are saying, yep, no, sorry, we're locking you up until we get a vaccine.
	And then we're going to inject it to you against your will.
	And people are like, okay, well, it's the cops who are going to enforce that.
	So that's bad. We don't want that.
	And I think that was a sequence that broke the thin blue line.
	Of alternative media criticism of what has turned out to be...
	I mean, it's...
	I mean, I hate to sound like a broken record, but it's what I predicted is what I said.
	It is more complicated.
	Guy had fentanyl, methamphetamine, history of cocaine use, heart attack, heart disease.
	It's complicated. And again, maybe the police officer is responsible.
	Maybe he'll be found guilty.
	But it's not what people rioted about at all.
	At all. And normally, even the people who would say, let's not rush to judgment, weren't even saying that.
	They were just straight up racist cop murder.
	Boom! So I think that's one of the most important aspects of all of this.
	And good job, China, right?
	Good job, China.
	You release this thing and next thing you know, everybody dislikes the cops and the next race-baiting narrative succeeds and America burns.
	And America Burns. Yeah, no, it's very true, of course.
	Even if you're subscribed to me, it won't autofill my name in YouTube anymore.
	just won't do it.
	Now of course what's happened is people have gone from being terrified if they step out of their door or reopen their small business.
	You know, seeing the cops go up and drag people who were trying to give a haircut to someone outdoors with masks on, drag them away.
	Shit like that. I mean, that is, that is wack, yo.
	That is terrible, terrible stuff.
	And so we've got this double whammy now, right?
	So from the one extreme of a totalitarian lockdown for the productive members in society, People who are trying to keep their precious businesses alive.
	And I tell you, man, if you have a business, you grow that business, you invest in that business, you work nights and weekends and you give up time with friends and family and you give up hobbies and you just grow that business because it's a fierce, beautiful thing that you want to keep alive.
	And then the Chinese commivirus comes along and with the help of your governor and these anti-constitutional cops, they just...
	Step and piss all over the fire of your ambition and turn it into a cold ember of burning hatred.
	So then when you can't run a business because you're going to get arrested and you can't have more than five people in the same gathering and you can't have two cars in your driveway, well then hundreds of thousands of people go out and riot.
	And the government's like, yeah, that's great.
	That's fine. Hey, if you want to build a business...
	Screw you, man. You're going to jail.
	You want to burn a business?
	Well, hey, man, riots are just the language of the unheard.
	You've got to give people space to vent.
	You can't build without going to jail.
	But you can set fire, loot, and tear down.
	And the government and the media is just like, good for you.
	Crazy. And conservatives are...
	Matt Walsh did a thread about how protesting during a pandemic was described when conservatives were doing it.
	It's racist because it might spread the virus to black people.
	Protesters don't deserve medical care.
	Protests are responsible for spreading the virus far and wide.
	Protesting is suicidal.
	Protesting is devastatingly worrisome.
	Here in Ontario, Premier Ford called the anti-lockdown protesters reckless, mind-bogglingly selfish.
	It was a place from Denver.
	Protesters don't care about lives.
	They are twisting the idea of liberty.
	They're like Typhoid Mary.
	They're foolish, if not dangerous.
	Dangerous! They're worsening the crisis.
	Protests are risking your health!
	And see, that's when conservatives protest because they're being unjustly shut out of their own businesses which are being allowed to expire like a hip-disblazed raccoon from a truck in a hot Texas sun.
	That's when conservatives peacefully, peacefully Protest.
	But when people who vote Democrat violently protest, well, it's no justice, no peace.
	Gotta hear these people out.
	They're expressing their just outrage about not having a 40-inch TV without having to pay for it, right?
	That's rough. It's rough, and people are waking up to it, and they're not happy.
	And, you know, really, who can blame them?
	Who can blame them at all?
	So, I don't know if you watched the speech tonight.
	And let's talk about something else.
	I don't think people are getting it all.
	I'm sure you guys get it. I'm sure you guys get it.
	Oh, and before I forget, well, I'll put it out later.
	And I'm sorry about what happened to Cassandra Fairbanks.
	It's terrifying. Antifa just attacked her house.
	The kid was inside. Just terrifying stuff.
	I'm sorry about all of that. Very sorry.
	It's terrifying. But I'm going to put out, probably tomorrow, I have a high-quality version of my debate with rationality.
	Rules from yesterday. Which was pretty good.
	It's pretty slimy in one spot, but you'll see that.
	I'll put it out in the video. But anyway, just look for that tomorrow.
	It's going to be pretty good. And if you do, of course, want to help out the show, we should really, really appreciate.
	It's kind of rough. Kind of rough out here.
	Not a lot of Boone Companions standing against the mob with me on this one.
	So if you could help me out, I'd really appreciate that.
	FreeDomain.com forward slash donate.
	The linky link is below.
	And if you could help me out, I'd really, really, really appreciate that.
	But, yeah, let's talk about Trump, right?
	Because some of the people, too, are getting real enraged at Trump.
	So, I'm putting the ethics aside, right?
	It's all morality aside.
	We're just going to talk about what's called realpolitik.
	Politics being the art of the possible.
	And I'm just going to tell you straight up what's going on.
	Do I have any inside scoop?
	No, I don't. But I can think pretty well.
	And it's not that hard to figure out what's going on.
	So, The first thing to understand is that the riots are generally hitting Democrat-held areas of America.
	If you don't first see that, it's real hard to figure out what's been going on since then.
	The Democrats have been enacting, they've been spying on.
	Trump, Trump's family, Trump's employees, Trump supporters, they've been spying.
	The IRS was all over the Tea Party back in the day under Lois Lerner.
	And, yeah, Obama and all the top people, all the top officials seem to have known about and approved of the spying on Trump.
	They have been working on a multi-year coup attempt called the Russian hysteria collusion conspiracy theory.
	They have arrested Trump's friends.
	They have threatened Trump's family.
	So, if you don't sort of get that perspective, it's a little tough to sort of understand why, at least until today, there hasn't been a staggering amount of proactive action to get all of these problems solved in America, rioting and so on, right? So, first understand that.
	Why would he want to rush to the rescue of the Democrats who've been savaging him and his family Year after year after year, why would he want to rush and solve the problems that they simply refused to solve?
	I mean, there's tons of examples of what looked like, to me, complete stand-down orders when the police are facing off against the protesters, largely in Democrat-controlled cities, states, and so on.
	And by Democrat, I mean the governor, the chief of police, the district attorney, you name it, right?
	So... Here's the tough thing.
	When you are responding to a riot, a multi-day, maybe even multi-week riot, it's really tough to find the right time.
	Because if you do it too soon, you look like a tyrant.
	Everybody's like, oh, Pinochet.
	But you look like a tyrant and everybody goes screaming, goes crazy and so on.
	And you always got to remember.
	So I have to think about this.
	Trump, of course, has to think about it more.
	The media, the media is a factor in what you do, right?
	Because the media is infested with hard leftists and they just don't have any honor or any decency or anything like that.
	And so Trump has to sit there and say, OK, if it's kind of soon and people think it's a just protest for their human rights and I send in the troops, you know, then it's Kent State.
	It's Birmingham, Alabama, when you've got dogs attacking blacks who are protesting and the media is going to find – Black mothers holding their wounded children's heads in their hands and weeping and wailing and shaking their fists at the sky.
	This is the media.
	It's going to be all over the place.
	And it's just going to gin up more hostility, more hatred, more riots.
	Because when you send the National Guard in, when you send the troops in, stuff's going to go down.
	People are going to get hit.
	Bullets are going to fly. Some are not going to find their right mark.
	Some it's going to be accident. And some of it's going to be staged.
	I mean, for sure, the hard leftists in the riots will stage, you know, deception is 90% of war, right?
	So they will just stage stuff.
	Like, they'll dress up as cops, they'll shoot people, they'll hand off pictures to the Media, the media will flash them around the world and then, you know, a month or two later when they realize it doesn't matter, right?
	As the old saying goes, the truth can go twice around the world.
	Sorry, a lie can go twice around the world while the truth is still getting its boots on, right?
	So if you decide to unleash the dogs of war against the protesters, too soon, A, you're a tyrant, and B, there's going to be massive negative PR for you.
	And I hate to sort of put it in that cold clinical sense like PR, but the propaganda machine against you I mean, good Lord, Europe opened up its entire soft underbelly to massive military-aged migrants because British women had estrogen epileptic attacks of hyper-pathological altruism because they saw a drowned boy on a Turkish beach.
	Even though the father should not have put him on an overloaded boat because he wanted to get to Canada for health care, for dental care.
	You can get in trouble with the law for letting your kid ride a bike without a helmet.
	But, you know, if you put a kid on an overloaded boat because you want to get to Canada for free dental care, eh, I'm sorry, Europe can't have any borders anymore, right?
	So you've got to deal with the female response as well.
	And it's not just female. It's also the feminist men and, you know, some men and so on.
	But generally, more of that emotional reasoning comes out of the fairer sex, for better and for worse.
	And so you have to deal.
	Like everyone's seen that picture of Kent State, right?
	Kent State, there were communist student riots.
	And order was restored under Reagan.
	And yeah, some people got shot.
	Because that's what happens when you tangle with the state and you do massive looting and property crimes.
	And, you know, you've seen that picture of the girl standing over the body and then you've got Neil Young wobbling about all of the stuff in the same way that Peter Gabriel did with Stephen Biko.
	And so it will be a massive propaganda loss.
	A propaganda scar for Donald Trump to send the troops in too early because the media will just play endless shots of people cowering and running and getting shot and Asian provocateurs will set up fake things and it'll be a complete disaster for him.
	And why would he do that?
	For the Democrats. Why would he take that bullet, so to speak, for the Democrats?
	Because they're not activating their police.
	Why would he send the National Guard in to save Democrats from their own malevolent incompetence when the Democrats have been trying to unseat his election for the past three and a half years?
	Like, it wouldn't make any sense.
	I mean, the man has some pride.
	And I think if you look deep down in your heart, you'd probably feel that...
	You can at least understand why he would be making those decisions.
	So there's a fulcrum, right?
	There's a tipping point. And the tipping point is quite important.
	So the tipping point is that if you go in too soon, then you're perceived to be A tyrant, right?
	But, you see, if you go in too late, then you're perceived as weak and ineffective and blah-de-blah-de-blah, right?
	So that is the sweet spot.
	If you go in too soon, you crush people, it's bad propaganda, and you're handing also a victory to the enemies, not just domestic, but also foreign.
	Because China is obviously exalting at all of this kind of stuff, as all the other enemies of America are.
	I mean, China, even though it puts Uyghurs in concentration camps and has been nailing blacks into their own apartment out of fear of coronavirus, China is, of course, saying, well, you see, America is a very racist country.
	I mean, come on.
	It's just they know the soft spot of America that has been engendered by the sophists and the leftists and the academics and so on.
	So, yeah, he can't go in too soon.
	Like, he just can't go in too soon.
	And yet if he goes in too late, that's a problem too, right?
	If he goes in too late, then too much damage has been done.
	And also citizens have started to take matters into their own hands and are shooting back on their own.
	And you're starting to get those sort of right-wing militias and so on.
	And so you've got to get that sweet spot.
	And I tweeted today, before I even knew Trump was speaking, I tweeted that it's going to be over the next couple of days that things are going to get done.
	Because people have to be...
	So appalled by this violence that they don't want to do it again.
	It's kind of important, right?
	And so if you nip it in the bud, before things get really bad, people are like, oh, we were thwarted, man.
	We just couldn't get what we wanted to get done done.
	It was terrible. We could have done so much more.
	It would have been great. So you have to wait for people to get really, really, really sick of these riots and really appalled at these rioters.
	And I'll tell you something else that's kind of important, right?
	This is teaching people what it's like to live under Democrat governors, right?
	That's what people are realizing.
	You can vote for all these Democrats, and you're going to get...
	Look, if they look over at the Republican states, the Republican regions...
	And they're like, yeah, those are pretty quiet, pretty nice.
	And I know it's a whole complicated cause and effect that it's not just as simple as just go vote Republican and everything will be fine.
	I'm not a Republican. Don't mistake me.
	But what's happening is the Democrats, the Democrat states, the Democrat cities, the Democrat regions...
	Are a hellscape of post-apocalyptic burning man from hell, right?
	And what they're doing is they're looking and saying, wow, you know, the Republican side is pretty nice.
	So there's a very strong case to be made for Trump to say, yeah, let him suffer so that they get the consequences of voting Democrat, of voting for, you know, these far left, you know, Keith Ellison holding up and grinning at the anarchist handbook, for God's sakes. I don't know.
	It's absolutely astonishing.
	So... Also, of course, if you go into early and the media is going to gym up all of this hysteria about force being used against protesters, of course, a lot of whom are black, the majority of whom are black, I think, so that's going to cause more riots and then very quickly things can spiral out of control.
	So you have to wait until people are sick of the riots and sick of the rioters and recognize that it's no longer about George Floyd, if it ever was really, it's now about just looting and mayhem and destruction and nihilism and theft and settling old scores and living wild and lawless and all that kind of stuff, right? So then what happens is there is that sweet spot and Trump announced that tonight and he's going after Antifa and that's going to be very interesting, right?
	It's going to be very interesting. If he goes after Antifa under domestic security laws, designating them as a terrorist organization or facilitating that, And they get to open up Antifa like a piñata.
	They get to see emails, phone records, texts, logs.
	They're going to see who Antifa has been communicating with and who they've been infiltrating and who's been propagandizing for them.
	And I'm telling you, man, a lot of media bros feeling a little nervous right now because they've been in touch with Antifa.
	It'll be interesting to see What the connections are between Antifa and Wikipedia, between Antifa and the mainstream media, between Antifa and academia.
	Because right now, the process has been for the last week that all of Trump's enemies are hysterically discrediting themselves in the eyes of all reasonably sane people.
	You've got academics tweeting out how to tear down national monuments.
	You've got lawyers getting engaged in violent acts against police.
	You've got celebrities who are from Chrissy Teigen to Justin Timberlake to others who are, hey, let's help bail out these protesters, right?
	Because, I don't know, they think they're part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s crew or something like that, but...
	So, academia is being discredited and academics hate Trump.
	Hollywood, the music industry, the media, on that side of the fence is all being discredited through their process of throwing support behind these looters and thugs.
	Of course, including Antifa.
	It's not all blacks. A lot of white people out there are causing a lot of mayhem, a lot of problems.
	And so Democrats are being discredited.
	News reporters are being discredited.
	I mean, there was this woman from a far-left news website Who got, as a white woman, she just got beaten up by a bunch of black guys.
	Now, of course, she's the kind of person who would write hit pieces on anyone who talks about the prevalence of black crime.
	So it's like, yeah, I'm sorry. Not even the gods can save you from the consequences of your terrible decisions, right?
	So the mainstream media, of course, has been telling everyone, oh, you know, people like Steph are the problem.
	You know, I got three pictures of myself on the above-the-fold cover of the Sunday New York Times because I was radicalizing people into...
	Getting jobs and a girlfriend, right?
	So people were telling you, Wikipedia is telling you, and I guess YouTube is somewhat telling you, and the mainstream media are telling you that people like me see a real problem.
	Just real bad guys and we're the real problem.
	Yeah, I kind of miss that.
	You see me out there leading any riots and burning down any churches and shredding any mainstream art studios.
	Come on, right? I mean, this is...
	There's an old saying which says, never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of making a mistake.
	And so, horrifying though it is, it is the lowest body count and the lowest damage to society to let the riots continue, to let those who are enabling and supporting the riots, from academia to Hollywood to the news to celebrities, all the people who are supporting it, all the people who are enabling it, Let those people continue to discredit themselves.
	And let the people in these communities say, so if we vote for the left, this is what we're going to get.
	It's not only the least damaging strategy, it is also the best political strategy.
	Because once people are like, I can't take another day of this rioting, these rioters have got to go home.
	They've got to do something other than scream and jeer and drag people out of trucks and beat them senseless.
	Because if you're not happy when the cavalry come, it doesn't end well.
	If you don't hear those sirens...
	And see those half tanks rolling down the street and breathe a sigh of relief that the shots are going to stop ringing out and the Hatfield and McCoy secret scores is going to stop being settled in the alley behind the dumpster of your house.
	And you might be able to go back to your job at some point.
	So funny. I mean, these crazy riots.
	I mean, at this rate, America is going to achieve actual herd immunity by July.
	Everybody's out there mixing it up so much, right?
	So it's perfectly comprehensible why Trump waited.
	It would have been, like, he is a stable genius.
	He is a very, very smart guy.
	And he's been navigating the public square for 40-plus years.
	He's been in the news, he's been in the newspapers, he's been famous, he's been this and he's been, right?
	So, of course, Trump is going to wait until the right time, until people are getting rioting fatigue.
	And he's going to give the Democrat governors every opportunity to do the right thing and restore peace to their communities and protect their citizens, but he sure as hell is not going to be out there ordering people to shoot A black youth because the Democrats won't do their job.
	Why would he take that rap for the Democrats who've been hounding him and harassing him and arresting his friends and scaring his family and undermining his presidency and threatening him six ways from Sunday?
	Impeaching him, right?
	So, come on.
	I mean, I just... I'm not any kind of super smart guy when it comes to political analysis or anything like that.
	But that's...
	That's pretty clear. So yeah, there are going to be curfews, and people are going to breathe a sigh of relief.
	And the whole social isolation, you've got to stay home, coronavirus narrative has been completely shattered.
	And it turns out, of course, that the media was just lying about all that shit too.
	They don't care about social distancing.
	They don't care about gatherings of people.
	They don't care about any of that. They only care about it when conservatives are trying to get to work.
	They're praising and cheering it now.
	So the whole coronavirus narrative has just been shattered.
	The virtue of the media has been shattered.
	The competence of Democrat governors and police chiefs has been shattered.
	And the gunpowder trails that lead from the nihilistic, sadistic hellscape of the far-left gangs.
	That gunpowder line is going to lead to some pretty surprising and powerful places.
	And people are going to get into some serious trouble for amplifying and supporting what is going to be designated as a terrorist group.
	So, I just hope that you guys understand all of this.
	Fighting the police for blacks should not be a death sentence, but it could get you killed.
	Well, no, but more whites get killed than blacks when it comes to the arrest of violent criminals.
	So, it just doesn't answer any particular questions, right?
	So, the Insurrection Act of 1807 is amended in 2006.
	The President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard and Federal Service, to suppress in a state any insurrection, domestic violence, and so on.
	So, yeah. Gillette has written an article.
	It's not your imagination. The journalists writing about Antifa are often their cheerleaders.
	Well, of course. Of course they are.
	And all the people who were warning everyone about the far left, we're all vindicated.
	We're all vindicated.
	And it's life, man.
	The suffering increases until people learn.
	It's like life. The suffering increases until people learn.
	And I'll put some notes to this.
	There's an article from the Chicago Tribune that over the...
	It's rare, but there have been 12 times that a U.S. president has called in the military domestically, right?
	Integration, Selma-Montgomery civil rights march, Detroit riots in 1967.
	Look at all the progress we've had in the last 52 years, right?
	53 years. Chicago riots following the assassination of MLK Jr.
	Washington riots following King's murder.
	Baltimore had the same thing.
	New York City postal strike.
	Looting after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
	Riots after the Rodney King.
	Verdict. Six days of rioting.
	More than 60 people were killed and more than 2,000 people were injured.
	But it was of course local to...
	And that was a total media.
	That was a total media. The Rodney King riots.
	Billions of dollars of damage.
	60 people murdered. 2,000 or 60 people killed.
	More than 2,000 people injured.
	Six days of rioting.
	Entirely media generated hysteria because they didn't show all the lead up.
	They didn't show Rodney King attacking the police.
	All they showed was the police attacking Rodney King.
	And yeah, they're just absolutely vile.
	They get people killed.
	They get 60 people killed. Straight in.
	Straight up. So, okay, so that's sort of very briefly the general lay of the land when it comes to this kind of stuff.
	And I wanted to tell you basically the reason why it's occurring.
	All right? And...
	Oh, strong supporter from Australia.
	G'day. Very nice to meet you.
	Ha ha ha, I'm boot-licking Steph.
	You know, everybody's got an opinion about how I should be more courageous, but those people are generally anonymous.
	So, you know, if you really want to show me all of the courage that you feel that I should be, lead the way, man.
	Lead the way. I've taken on more dangerous, volatile, hellish topics than just about anybody else that I have ever seen.
	So... Anyway.
	He told them he could not breathe.
	Yes. That is correct.
	And have you ever spoken to a cop about what it's like to arrest people?
	Because all you hear is, I can't breathe.
	Ow, it hurts. No, that's too painful.
	No, these cuffs are too tight.
	No, this. That's all you hear.
	So, hindsight, hindsight, hindsight.
	If you... Yeah, safe behind a keyboard.
	Yeah, you know, there's a thing too.
	Like, I mean, when I went out last year, last September, it's like right before coronavirus, right?
	So I went out last September to Hong Kong to cover the protests.
	And I went down there with John Detroit, who was one of the half of the scooter crew that put out Hoax, hoaxmovie.com.
	You should really check it out. And do I play golf?
	No, I don't play golf.
	It's pretty pricey. And, uh, I don't like a game where it all comes down to like 30 whacks in 5 hours or 40 whacks in 5 hours.
	I like, think of me as a teenager.
	Anyway, but no, I don't play golf.
	I do play mini-golf with my daughter, but that's about it.
	Yeah, the bricks, yeah, a lot of bricks being handed out.
	A lot of Antifa out there, arming up.
	The low brain rioters of every race just out there ginning things up.
	Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, they all want to destroy.
	They just want to watch the world burn.
	They're a bunch of jokers, so to speak, right?
	So... Play disc golf.
	It's free. Yeah, I guess so.
	Steph is way more courageous than Tim Pool, because you can see my forehead.
	Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
	Maybe. All right, so listen, let's get into what is the purpose of Antifa?
	Antifa. Well, they want to impose a communist dictatorship on America.
	And it's not just going to be America, right?
	Antifa is incredibly strong in Germany.
	Antifa, even in Montreal, here in Canada, they're acting up.
	Antifa is very strong in France.
	And so, yeah, Antifa, they are the military arm of the Communist Party.
	They were invented. They call themselves anti-fascists, right?
	They are the military arm of the Communist Party, of the Communist movement.
	And... So, yeah, they are, of course, they're a terrorist organization.
	Because, see, this is what people don't understand.
	If they're rioting because, or if people are protesting because whatever, whatever, right?
	They want some sort of reform or some sort of change or some sort of magic that changes crime rates or something.
	Okay, that's one thing. But the moment you say, and if they're just looting, that's another thing, right?
	They're just looting and stealing stuff, then that's theft or whatever.
	But if you are committing violence for political purposes, then that's straight-up terrorism.
	And so all of these people who were like, yeah, but these rioters, they just want X, Y, and Z politically.
	It's like, dude, you're not helping them.
	Because if you're saying that the rioters...
	Are beating people up?
	Are killing cops?
	Are setting fire to churches?
	Because they have political goals, you've just instantly transferred them into the category called terrorism, because terrorism is the use of violence for a political purpose, right?
	Not just because some guy slept with your wife, or not because the drug dealer gave you bad drugs, or not because you hate that guy, but if it's got political purpose, you're straight up terrorism, right?
	So, yeah, wouldn't it be amazing?
	Maybe, maybe. All right.
	Oh, yeah, no, this is a civil war.
	I mean, let's not be around the bush.
	It's a straight-up civil war, for sure, because this is pretty well organized.
	I mean... A lot of international financiers, Soros and others, that poured a lot of money into political movements in the U.S. with the sole aim of destabilizing.
	And I said this in...
	I've been saying this for many, many, many years.
	It was in a presentation I did, I don't know, six or seven years ago, that in the...
	I think it was 1922, 1923, the Communist International said that they were going to side with the blacks and foment racial division in America in order to overthrow the republic.
	So, yeah, I mean, it took about a century, and there you are.
	Strong love from Nigeria.
	Love back to you, my friend.
	Love back to you. Tim Pool has taken minuscule doses of red pill for years to no effect.
	He's now built up an immunity.
	Well, no, look, see, I like Tim again.
	I know he supported Bernie Sanders, who's a communist, so I'm not a big fan of any of that stuff.
	He's got, man's got charisma and he's got some courage for sure.
	But, um... If you don't have access to philosophy, you just don't have access to the consistency that this show provides.
	I mean, I'll just be straight up.
	And so, sorry, I forgot to finish my Hong Kong story.
	So I was out in Hong Kong in September.
	I was marching with the protesters.
	I interviewed Martin Li, the writer of the Constitution, who later got arrested.
	You can find this at my website, freedomain.com.
	Under documentaries, there's three documentaries.
	One is a series. There's one on Poland that got me into a lot of trouble because I said, hey, I'm safe in a mostly white country.
	And it turned out I was safe in a mostly East Asian country called Hong Kong.
	So, just a fact.
	It's just a basic fact, whether you like it or not.
	But... So yeah, there's one on Poland, there's one on California, and I did one on Hong Kong that I'd like to get more views, but it's been heavily suppressed for reasons that you can completely understand when you watch it.
	One of the most suppressed documentaries in the world, really.
	But I was out there marching with them.
	We faced down the stormtroopers of the government.
	I took a whole bunch of tear gas to the face and had to sprint to freedom and escape the closing net of the police.
	It was all very exciting and cool stuff.
	But they'd been marching there.
	Hundreds of thousands strong for over a year.
	No looting. No violence.
	No setting fire to things. No, right?
	I mean, occasional bits of violence, but it's really hard to tell because, of course, the police are in there.
	And I talked to people who'd seen it happen.
	The police are in there causing violence to discredit the movement and so on.
	But that's the difference, right?
	That's the difference. That you can have all of these marches for political purposes without all of this feral stuff, right?
	So, all right.
	But, of course, they're fighting against communism, so that's a different matter.
	All right. I don't buy Alex Jones supplements.
	No. All right.
	Do you guys want to have any comments or questions before I get into all of this?
	Is Antifa aware that if America is overthrown, that their elimination will be the overthrow's number one priority?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Everybody who's part of the revolution gets killed.
	Absolutely. There's no question.
	It's a suicidal thing. But I'll tell you what motivates them.
	Do you think Trump will lay some blame on China?
	Sure. Sure.
	Absolutely. Left a question on Discord.
	Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, if you guys want to join into our community there, it's a really, really great community.
	It's pay-to-play, so it's troll-free, at least so far.
	And it's like three bucks a month if you want.
	You can go to subscribestar.com forward slash free domain, subscribestar.com forward slash free domain, or just freedomain.com forward slash donate.
	And... You can join in there, and we have a lot of fun over there.
	My daughter actually made some quizzes.
	We had a quiz night and all that.
	It's really a lot of fun.
	And if you like Minecraft, boy, they've really got something going on the Minecraft server that is really, really kind of cool.
	Should Trump's responses to the riots be martial law?
	I hate to be annoying, but I'm not sure what you mean by should.
	It depends what game you're after, what you want to do, what you want to achieve.
	So if you're going to say that the only thing that Trump should do is declare martial law and suppress the riots that way, I would say that is not a good strategy.
	Not a good strategy at all.
	So I am here. I'm sorry.
	Let me just leave a note here.
	Sorry. It was on the other screen.
	This is Fraser Crane.
	I'm listening. I'm listening.
	You guys get to hear exactly how fast I type, right?
	Yeah, there is some Chinese infiltration, for sure.
	I mean, China is everywhere. And I can't remember who posted it, but there was somebody on Twitter who was posting that out front of the White House, somebody was saying, quick, get away, hide, in Mandarin, right?
	So, you know, that's...
	I should not be ashamed of Alex Jones.
	I'm not ashamed of Alex Jones.
	I enjoyed my conversation with him.
	He's a bit of a wild bull to write in a conversation, but it was always stimulating.
	Okay, adding this again, I've noticed, this is somebody from Discord, I've noticed that many media channels and even the Trump administration have been referring to Antifa as anarchist group as opposed to a communist group.
	I understand the reasoning for the media doing this, but why would the administration not want to blame these riots on the left into the election?
	And what potential PR maneuvers are now necessary for the real party?
	Anarchist. Yeah, you know, it does bother me.
	Of course it bothers me, right? I mean, that the word anarchist is being poisoned.
	I mean, anarchist is without rulers.
	It doesn't mean without rules.
	It's a voluntary, stateless society.
	Anarchy is to the state as freedom, the free market is to slavery, right?
	So, yeah, why do they not refer to it as a communist group?
	I think my guess would be that the communists did a wonderful job Terrifyingly wonderful job of discrediting McCarthy, right?
	To the point where I think it was people who should know better, even like Ted Cruz, were referring to things like McCarthyism.
	We don't want McCarthyism. And so I do think that...
	They've done such a good job that if you start referring to groups as communists that people don't really get are communists and the media is going to immediately stuff the McCarthy label on you, that probably is my guess, that he probably doesn't want to fight every front at the same time.
	So, I mean, the media is allergic to facts, right?
	So the moment you say anything that's true, the media just goes completely mental, right?
	Let's see here. I genuinely hope to change your mind.
	I believe the rioting mob is the riot used to herd the tax cattle back to the state.
	After seeing police show up in tanks to shut down barbershops, we were getting skeptical of state power.
	The media, aka government, let the inflammatory videos fly to build the boogeyman that will scare us back to an addiction to their violent monopoly.
	We need to make sure and not fall for it.
	it.
	Don't be herded.
	The cries for police to put down the riots are a contradiction in that we appeal to the institution that created the problem to solve the problem.
	It doesn't matter that the government's name is Trump at the moment.
	Trump's delay makes sense in this context.
	His escalation will give him the hero's praise.
	We know all men are susceptible to craving.
	Thank you.
	That's a very, very good point.
	It's a very, very interesting argument.
	Anyone to the left of me is a communist.
	Yeah, see, Brandon, that's just stupid stuff.
	Like, please, please, like, if this is your contribution, you know, the upper and lowercase stuff, and I don't know, I just, I probably get a little bit tired and annoyed at this kind of just...
	Brain dead, dumb fuckery of trolliness.
	It's just stupid. Like, Antifa is openly communist.
	They refer to themselves. Come on, man.
	They're anarcho-communists.
	They're like, this is not, I don't know.
	It's just stupid stuff. It's just stupid stuff.
	Yeah, nine minutes with a knee on your neck isn't going to affect anything, is it?
	And again, just stupid stuff.
	Like, you just got to think.
	Try and think. Like, you're above the clouds here.
	Like, we're on Olympus here.
	Like, we're high up in the rarefied air of significant thoughts.
	So you got to up your game.
	I mean, you're...
	You're trying to play baseball blindfolded and you're just looking ridiculous, right?
	First of all, we don't know how much pressure of the knee was on his neck.
	We don't know how much his breathing may have been.
	According to the coroner, it was not asphyxiation.
	It was not strangulation.
	So blood flow apparently was there and there was no damage to the neck.
	And even the coroner, the medical examiner that was hired by George Floyd's family did not find any indication of neck trauma because he said, I can only say it's asphyxia because I watched the video and it looks that way to me.
	So, I don't know.
	Please just try not to be stupid.
	It matters what you say.
	Like Jay, it really matters what you say.
	You are part of the human community and everything that you put into the human community has significant effects.
	And so you may feel like you're just typing and being all kinds of clever and sarcastic and tween girly shit, right?
	But I'm telling you, it fucking matters what you say.
	It matters what you say.
	People live or die based upon what you type.
	Society lives or dies.
	Civilization stays or burns based upon what you put into the fucking mix.
	Do you understand that? Do you get that?
	You matter. You're not just a voice screaming into a wind tunnel that no one can hear.
	You are putting straws on the camel's back that can break everything that we treasure.
	Stop being stupid.
	Stop it. Really.
	Think. Reason.
	Put out arguments. Don't just be stupid and sarcastic and useless.
	Worse than useless.
	You are getting people hurt.
	You matter. What you say matters.
	We live or die based upon your words, your thoughts, your breath, your comments, your participation.
	Do you like having a food supply?
	Hey, are you a big fan of electricity?
	Do you like having water?
	Then stop saying stupid shit that has people go out and set fire to stuff, okay?
	Please, I'm begging you.
	Because if it was only harming you, I'd be like, yeah, you really shouldn't.
	But for better or for worse, we're all in this shit together.
	So fucking stop being stupid, people, please.
	And if you can't come up with anything intelligent, just shut up.
	Just shut up. I don't go to physics conferences and interfere with what the hell they're doing.
	I don't go and armpit tickle surgeons when they're involved in separating co-joined twins Ben Carson style.
	I just don't go and do that stuff.
	Because I don't know how to be a surgeon.
	I don't know how to be a physicist.
	So I shut the hell up and let the experts talk without interfering.
	Okay? Find something you're good at.
	Be smart about it.
	Contribute there. Because you're only detracting from this.
	An anarcho-communist doesn't mean anything.
	How do we find your Discord?
	So you go to freedomain.com forward slash donate.
	There's a subscribe star link.
	You sign up there and you will get a Discord link.
	Let's see here. I've had this question on my mind for weeks in your Vosch debate.
	You said past circumstances don't explain anything.
	It rubbed me the wrong way. Did you misspeak and say everything, not anything?
	Well, I believe in free will.
	So past circumstances, what do they explain?
	What does it mean to say, I'm a product of my circumstances, I'm a product of history?
	Bullshit is what remains when history wins and you don't think for yourself, not talking to you as a listener.
	But look, it's all about what you choose.
	It's all about what you focus on.
	It's all about who you listen to.
	It's all about who you surround yourself with.
	That's what matters in this life.
	Fuck history. Fuck circumstances.
	I was born in a single mother household.
	My mom's been on welfare for close to half a century.
	I've been paying my own bills since I was 15.
	I got my first job when I was 10.
	Do you think there's anything in my history that laid any kind of train tracks To me becoming an entrepreneur, to me founding and running a software company that grew to multi-million dollar sales, founding the biggest philosophy show in the world, traveling the world, giving speeches, facing down terrorists, speaking at the European Union, giving a speech to 30,000 people online at the next web conference.
	Do you think anything, in my circumstances, in my origin, Gave any kind of dominoes that had me sitting here talking to you tonight in this incredibly elevated and powerful fashion.
	And I mean this in the conversation, not just me, right?
	So fuck history.
	Is that old Everlast song?
	Where you end usually depends on where you start.
	Bullshit. Bullshit.
	There aren't any dominoes that are just falling down and pushing you helplessly towards some inevitability.
	You grab those fucking reins and you make that horse of your identity go wherever the hell you want it to go.
	You feed it and you nurture it and you rub its legs where they get sore and you just ride that son of a bitch to where the hell you want to go.
	And fuck history, fuck circumstances.
	You could look at my history, where I started, And you could say, my God, this guy's raised by a single mother who's paranoid, who's violent, very violent, who is repeatedly institutionalized.
	He's stuck at home.
	He's just trying to find a way to struggle, to find a way to survive.
	Where would you expect that to take me?
	You look at just that kind of history.
	Single mom, no money, facing eviction on a continual basis, hungry throughout half my childhood, bad food, little health care, institutionalized mother.
	You look at that and you tell me how that is any fucking causality as to where I am now.
	700 million views and downloads of philosophy.
	Philosophy. I've brought...
	I'm like Dr.
	Frankenstein, except the monster is beautiful.
	Shocked philosophy back to life.
	You know, we've got this crisis in the West.
	Whole series of massive crises.
	We pay hundreds of millions of dollars to professional philosophers in academia.
	The fuck do we ever call them?
	Holy shit, we got riots.
	We better get the philosophers in here to tell us what the hell the problem is.
	Now, how to pass circumstances explain me.
	If all you knew were the first 15 years of my life, I didn't do hugely well in school.
	I was too busy.
	I had three jobs to pay the rent.
	Right? Mediocre student.
	Crazy, violent, dangerous, paranoid, institutionalized mentally ill mother.
	Yanked from place to place?
	moving from place to place?
	What would you predict about how I would end up Would you predict, oh yeah, this guy is going to do great things with his life.
	He's going to have a really joyful, happy, stable marriage.
	He's going to promote the cause of good mental hygiene, good mental health, reason, evidence, virtue, anti-spanking, anti-violence, anti-circumcision, and he's going to be a great dad as well.
	Would you predict that based upon where I started?
	You've got to resist the dominoes, man.
	Everybody's trying to pile these dominoes onto you and have you be defined by what the hell happened to you in the past.
	But that's just giving the control of your sovereign will and your sovereign consciousness to accidents and fools and circumstance, the environment.
	Mm-mm-mm. Don't let it happen, my friends.
	Dodge the dominoes.
	Do not let.
	You know what the dominoes are?
	The dominoes are fucking gravestones.
	That's what the dominoes are.
	Ooh, they're just falling down.
	You're black, you can't make it.
	You're white, you're a racist.
	You're American, you stole the natives' land.
	Oh, they're just dominoes, dominoes.
	They're just trying to make you feel like they want you to feel.
	Dodge the dominoes, man.
	That's free will. There's nothing about you that utterly depends on history.
	There's nothing about tomorrow that is blindly predicted by what happened yesterday or today.
	You can choose to listen to me and what I'm telling you.
	I've built an amazing life.
	I have built an amazing life with your help, with your participation.
	I have built an amazing life of love and beauty and fun and meaning and value and truth and honor and integrity and virtue.
	We together have built the oft-fabled shining city on the hill.
	I mean, it's a digital hill, but it's shining.
	And I get emails about people who say, I stopped hitting my kids.
	I didn't circumcise my kids.
	I got out of abusive relationships.
	I've now fallen in love.
	I decided to have children because of you.
	These are meteor strikes of godly rain that land on the world and flower into glorious lives.
	And why have I been able to achieve this?
	Partly because of you, and partly because I said fuck the past.
	I will not let the impoverished, violent, insane soil of my upbringing choose which fucking direction I grow.
	I'm like a plant who can pull up its legs and walk.
	I'm the dancing tree.
	I'm the all-singing, all-dancing.
	So... Yeah, that's what that means.
	That's what that means. So, okay.
	I want to get to you...
	We've got time, right?
	We're not in any kind of rush. Let's do.
	Let's do this. Let's talk about causality.
	Okay. This is where...
	This is where you and I may part ways.
	I will tell you straight up.
	This is where you and I may part ways.
	So maybe we will, maybe we won't.
	But you won't be parting ways with me.
	You'll just be parting ways with the truth.
	All right? So, look at that.
	Quite a crowd out there tonight.
	Here, let me show you my... Okay, no, I'm not on Twitch.
	I'm not going to show you a nip. Or am I? Let's find out.
	Let's find out. So, communism arose in the 19th century at the same time as the free market.
	And it really was in response to the free market.
	There is a great challenge in the world that is kind of existential.
	And the challenge is this.
	We are the most important things to ourselves, but generally we don't mean shit to the world.
	I mean, as a whole, right?
	And I say this to myself as well.
	I mean, a vast majority of people in the world don't have any clue who I am, especially if they're trying to search for me on YouTube.
	And, you know, I may be one of the more prominent people in this whole conversation, but your needs, your dreams, your desires, your...
	Once, they're all very vivid and very, very important to you, but the world doesn't care.
	Now, your parents should care, of course, right?
	And your parents should matter and all of that.
	And you should get your fill of parental attention when you're little, right?
	But you don't, usually.
	You don't. You grow up either abused or neglected or isolated, or you get thrown into the horrors of government schools and daycares, and you don't get...
	Filled up emotionally in the way that you should.
	And so you get this emptiness a lot of times.
	And then what happens is there are these giants in the world that you only really see in the free market.
	So before the free market, the giants in the world were the kings and the popes and the nobility and the priests maybe and so on.
	And so there were people of vastly greater statute and stature than you.
	And why were they there?
	Why did the king have so much power?
	Why was the aristocracy there?
	Why were the priests able to have so much authority and power?
	Well, the answer to that was God put them there, you see.
	God did it. It was called the divine right of kings.
	That God puts the Pope in charge of Christendom.
	That God puts the King in charge of the country.
	That God puts the Earl, the Duke, the Lord in charge of the peasantry.
	And it was called Divine Right of Kings.
	It was called the Social Body, the Corpus Christi, so to speak.
	That the King was the brain and the priests were the soul and the peasants were the hands.
	How did you explain the vast disparities Inhuman potential and existence in the past when it was political.
	Well, God explained it, right?
	Now, there were other things too which was much more brute force when you think about most of human history.
	Slavery, you know, rape was the right of the warrior and you would enslave them.
	And it's like, well, why are you the slave?
	Well, you lost the battle. When you get countries and things get bigger, it gets tougher to maintain that, right?
	So politically, divisions began to collapse.
	And one of the things that is the reason why everybody fought so much against the sun-centered version of the solar system, right?
	So what happened was when Earth was the center of the solar system, it lent real credence to the idea that you should be ruled over by kings and priests because...
	Earth was the center of the universe, the sun's wheels around you like an inverted bowl of colander with light on the other side, and it all made sense.
	Now, when you shifted The center of the universe to the sun and then to no center of the universe.
	It's really hard to sustain a belief in the aristocracy when something as foundational as the earth being the center of the universe vanishes and the whole belief system begins to undermine and collapse.
	And this, of course, happened after the great plague of the Black Death, which also came from China, wherein the priests died the most, and it was just brutal.
	And, of course, because there was such a...
	Depopulation in Europe, the remaining serfs were in a pretty good bargaining position.
	They could begin to bargain and actually control their own land.
	They had mobility so they could move to whoever would offer them the best conditions and all that kind of stuff, right?
	So you had political differences that were huge throughout most of human history, but they were explained away by divinity, by God.
	By God. The free market comes well.
	So very, very briefly, there were 300 years of religious warfare in general throughout Europe because every...
	The denomination that split off from Catholicism tried to gain power of the state so we could impose its own religion on everyone else, right?
	The Calvinists, the Evangelians, the Anabaptists, the Lutherans, the Protestants, you name it.
	And then after 400 years of everybody trying to kill each other to gain control of the state, to impose their view of religion and have not somebody else's view of religion be imposed upon them, they're like, oh, we've got to peel this apart.
	We've got to separate church and state now.
	This is really bad.
	This is terrible. Terrible!
	We've got to separate church and state.
	Now, the separation of church and state allowed for more equal rights because you couldn't use divinity to justify such vastly unequal political power as that between the serf and the king.
	And this is when you get to begin the idea of equality under the law, limited government.
	But see, then what happened was instead of political inequality, Sustained by God.
	You got economic inequality sustained by the market.
	Because meritocracy is everywhere.
	And it's nowhere more pronounced and more evident than in the market.
	Because the market is kind of a...
	I mean, it's a tumble-dry mechanism, man.
	The classes just revolve.
	Thomas Sowell has done some great work on this, mapping out the statistics of rags to riches to rags, shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations.
	First generation works hard, makes a lot of money, second generation pisses it all away, and third generation curses the second generation.
	This was my grandfather!
	Do you know why I'm here?
	Well, that's a big question, right?
	Why I'm here is because my grandfather...
	Drank and pissed away all the money in the land that we had in Ireland as aristocrats.
	It's wild. My father died and he left this biography online.
	I mean, I knew some of it and all of that, but that's why I'm here, because we were aristocrats and then one bad seed came along and burned up all the family wealth and used his last bucks to get my dad and his sisters educated.
	And that's why I'm...
	I mean, I'd certainly be somewhere else, or maybe not.
	I wouldn't be here at all, right? But anyway.
	So, meritocracy in the free market is...
	It's staggering. I mean, look at your bank account.
	Look at the bank account of Jeff Bezos.
	Now, I get it's not a total free market.
	He's got money with CIA contracts, 600 million bucks.
	And, you know, he's got IP and he's got subsidies from the post office.
	I get all of that. But come on.
	I mean, it's still a pretty free market.
	I mean, we're talking, aren't we?
	So there's a meritocracy in the free market.
	That people can't process very well.
	I've talked about this before, the Price is Law, right?
	Just real brief, because I know we've got a lot of new listeners tonight.
	Hi, thanks for coming by.
	It's a real great pleasure. Really, really great pleasure to chat with you guys.
	But people are insanely productive.
	Some people are insanely productive.
	I mean, think of all the people in the music industry.
	How many people can fill a stadium?
	Maybe 50 bands, maybe 100 bands.
	Think of the millions and millions of people in the music industry.
	Think of all the people who want to become actors.
	I wanted to become an actor.
	I went to the National Theatre School and all of that, and I found out I had way too many words of my own to spend my life as a Geppetto sock puppet to somebody else's leftist lunacy.
	But think of all the people who want to become actors.
	How many people end up as movie stars?
	Maybe 50, maybe 100.
	Out of millions and millions of people, right?
	It's crazy. Some people are just so insanely productive and insanely valuable in the free market that we can't process it.
	Because they're not, like, way taller than we are.
	So before, inequality was explained away by God.
	God placed the king and the priest in charge of you, and this was your lot, and it didn't really matter because your kingdom was in heaven, and the meek shall inherit the earth, and blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
	So... We can't fathom, we can't process how some people are so staggeringly wealthy and staggeringly productive.
	You know, as I said before, you get a company of 10,000 people.
	100 of those people produce half the value.
	100! 100!
	Out of 10,000, it's the square root of any group in a meritocracy produces half the value.
	You've got nine people, three of them produce half the value.
	You've got 16 people, four of them produce half the value.
	You've got 10,000 people, 100 of them produce half the value.
	Of that 10...
	Sorry, if that 110 produced 25% of the value of the entire company.
	Out of 10,000 people, you've got 10 people producing 25% of the value.
	And that's insane.
	Like, it's staggering.
	And you can see this in social media.
	You can see this in, like, whatever, right?
	SSS Sniperwolf. This is a tour of her house, you know?
	It's just like...
	Button, button, button.
	There you go. So...
	How do we explain this?
	How do we even comprehend how productive some people are?
	I mean, Freddie Mercury's sitting in a bathtub in Munich, I think it was.
	And he's like...
	Hey, that would be a great song.
	And he writes down crazy little thing called love.
	And he makes a bazillion dollars.
	Now, of course, he'd been working at it for a long time.
	You know, he was into music.
	I knew a friend of a friend.
	No, it was a girl I dated, knew the family, that Freddie Mercury, whose original name was Haruk Bulsara, who was a Zoroastrian, I think from Zanzibar or something, but they had to flee a Muslim takeover.
	He ended up in England. And he used to just sing away in the bathroom all the time and practice his singing and...
	Practices songwriting. Anyway, so I mean, it doesn't come out of nowhere, but there's lots of people who practice a lot.
	You know, Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000.
	There's lots of people who practice a lot.
	You know, it doesn't matter how much I practice singing.
	I ain't going to sound like Freddie Mercury.
	It's not going to happen. You don't have the physical voice, right?
	So there's this great question.
	Why are some people so bloody rich?
	Why do some people get $100 billion and you or others or my...
	I mean, my first job I got paid...
	My first job that I was getting paid was $2.45 an hour.
	But that's when $2.45 an hour could buy you...
	Well, not that much, frankly. So how do we understand?
	How can we explain...
	This incredible inequality for people who kind of look like us.
	It'd be one thing, you know, the king at least had his accoutrement, right?
	The king had his crown and his ermine cloak and his distended, gout-filled legs.
	He had the whole ceremony.
	And the pope had the hat and the pope was in the church and the pope was in a glass popemobile going around Central America.
	So they had all of the trappings of grandeur.
	Cathedrals and Versailles and palaces.
	But this Jeff Bezos, he looks like someone who'd be working on your HVAC system on a weekend, right?
	Well, he's a little jacked now, I guess, right?
	So how the hell can we understand how insanely productive some people are?
	Enid Blyton, an author of children's books, she wrote like, I don't know how many crazy number of books, right?
	How is it that John Grisham sits down, puts pen to paper and just walks away with $10 million and there's lots of people who pound away on keyboards and can't sell a book their entire life?
	How do I have 700 million views and downloads and other people's channels don't?
	Or, if you want to look at it that way, Joe Rogan just got...
	What was it? A hundred million or something?
	Some crazy amount of money, right?
	Some crazy amount of money.
	So, you know, I am to small channels as Joe Rogan is to me, or you look at Jordan Peterson's book sales.
	Some people are just valuable.
	To the market. You can talk value.
	There's no such thing as objective value.
	All value is subjective.
	So whatever we like or we don't like, they have value in the market.
	And they make bank.
	And they have influence, right?
	So that's hard to understand.
	We've been wrestling and grappling with this for 150 years, and we suck at it.
	We suck at explaining this and understanding this, right?
	So, I mean, geez, I saw a documentary on Taylor Swift.
	Okay, that's everybody's respect.
	It's important. This matters, right?
	This is a cultural icon, right?
	And she has sadly dipped her idiot leftist toe into the deep well of sycophantic Democrat politics, but...
	We signed away the Violence Against Women Act.
	That means she's for violence against women.
	Oh, shut up and sing, Leggy.
	But, um...
	Taylor Swift's not that smart.
	She's not. I mean, she's a good singer, she's a good songwriter, pretty girl, charismatic performer and all of that.
	But she's not smart. I mean, she's not well-read.
	She's not educated that well.
	She's, you know, she's a songbird, right?
	Very pretty songbird, like some of the songs, but she's a songbird, right?
	I'm better at her singing than she is at my philosophy.
	But anyway, how is it possible?
	And it's a mystery even to the people who do it, who can produce that kind of value.
	I mean, do you not think that Freddie Mercury would have written Bohemian Rhapsody every single time instead of that song about his cat called Delilah?
	That sucks! You run out of inspiration.
	I mean, even Bob Dylan was saying in an interview, he was saying, you know, I did that stuff when I was young.
	I can't do it now. I can do other things, but I can't do that.
	You lose the inspiration.
	I think about that at least once a week.
	I can't remember.
	Some comedian gets on a plane.
	He just wants the pilot to be honest.
	Hope we don't crash! So for me, like I said, I'm live streaming, right?
	So, like, I'm really on the fly.
	I like it. I mean, it's great having the conversation with...
	It's nice doing it with the community.
	It's nice speaking live. It's nice playing live as opposed to just being in a studio.
	It's more... I'm talking to someone.
	I'm not just talking to a camera.
	But for me, I'm like, don't fuck up.
	Don't say anything stupid.
	Uh... And don't run dry.
	I hope you don't run dry. Okay, so we got this big, massive economic disparities that come out of the free market.
	And it bugs the shit out of me when I was younger.
	Jesus, H. Mmm.
	It bugged the shit out of me when I was younger.
	I had friends who had these really calm, happy households with swimming pools and people ate noodle salads.
	There's nobody in this car, right?
	So it bugged the hell out of me.
	Why was I stuck in this torture chamber of insanity and violence in my household and other people?
	Why did I have to get a paper route and get up 5 o'clock in the morning, Saturdays, to go and deliver newspapers when other people were like, I can't believe I slept in until 10.30 and then I had some Eggs Benedict that my lovely mother made me and it was just like, it bugged the shit out of me.
	And it's like, it's unfair!
	It's unfair!
	If I'd got what I wanted and had Sting's singing voice, you'd be seeing me in a stadium right about now.
	So, it's so horrifyingly unfair.
	Some people are pretty.
	Some people have great singing voices.
	Some people are very musical.
	They have perfect pitch. They pick up instruments like Sir Richard Burton picked up languages, the explorer, not the actor.
	Like, it's just... Some people, you know, it's funny too because I do this talky thing, right?
	So for me it's more important to have a good speaking voice, a pleasant speaking voice, than it is to have a good singing voice.
	And a lot of singers don't actually sound that good when they talk because their voice is all kind of pitched for higher stuff, right?
	So it's bloody unfair, it's horrifying, and it's appalling.
	And it offends our sensibilities.
	And we envy!
	And we resent! And we resent!
	And, ah, it's a great and deep mystery.
	Now, of course, with Christianity, there was a salvation for envy.
	Envy, of course, was one of the seven deadly sins.
	Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass or thy neighbor's wife or thy neighbor's wife's ass.
	Or thy neighbor's arse's wife?
	Anyway, so first of all, you made envy a sin.
	And secondly, it's like, yeah, if it sucks for you now, you do better in heaven.
	You know, it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
	So how do you deal with envy in Christianity?
	Well, it's a sin. You don't focus on the material.
	And they're going to get theirs because they're going to hell.
	So that's how you deal with the envy, the resentment, the frustration.
	I'm so important to myself and nobody else cares about me in the world, right?
	It's a big shock. It's kind of a shock that we all have to go through, which is where we say, I really, really want this thing.
	And other people don't want to give it to you.
	We don't want to give it to you, right?
	I mean, I was watching Trump's speech earlier today and I'm like, boy, I wonder if I could ever get those kinds of live stream numbers.
	I know what. Incredibly long shows with more tangents.
	That's going to solve it.
	No problem. Lickety-split.
	Lickety-split. So, that's the problem.
	It drives us insane.
	It drives us insane.
	And when Christianity lost its hold on the Western mind, because material success, right...
	In the Christian model, material success can be pretty bad for you.
	It's a temptation of the devil, right?
	The world is run by the devil and you've got to escape this veil of tears to get to heaven.
	So that's one thing.
	But the other thing, too, is that we all have the soul, we all have the same capacity to get into heaven, so there's an egalitarianism in the Christian model that does not exist in the capitalist model.
	In the capitalist model, some people rise like rockets and some people just sink like Medieval mastodons into a tar pit of circumstance, right?
	So it drives us kind of nuts.
	It drives us nuts, and I get it.
	We sit there, and don't you envy?
	Come on, there's got to be people.
	You tell me in this chat. You tell me in this chat.
	You open up to daddy. You tell me in this chat.
	Who do you envy?
	Who do you envy?
	Tell me. You're anonymous.
	Tell me. Give it up.
	Veronica. I don't know who that is.
	Maybe there's a slight delay here.
	Jason Momoa? I envy Trump.
	Elon Musk? Come on, that guy's super cool.
	Julius Caesar? Yeah, I mean, he invented a salad, for God's sakes.
	Chad, you. You envy me?
	Oh, I appreciate that. Jenna Marbles?
	Why does that seem familiar?
	Youth. I envy youth.
	I envy...
	I don't envy anyone.
	I envy Kanye West.
	He's got to live with Kim Kardashian.
	But yeah, Kanye is super cool, right?
	I envy the Minecraft guy.
	Steve. What is it the villagers say?
	I envy people who have a house that's not a starter house.
	People with a ton of energy.
	I envy Navy Seals.
	Oh, yeah, yeah. That's cool. You envy Joe Rogan.
	That's a pretty sweet life, right?
	Emily Dickinson. Oh, the poet.
	You envy Dolly Parton.
	Was that one of the first jokes I ever heard when I was a kid?
	Why are Dolly Parton's feet so small?
	Because nothing grows in the shade.
	Pavarotti. Oh, that voice, eh?
	And a good reason to keep people at a distance even before coronavirus, right?
	Da Vinci died saying he wished he'd done more good with his talents.
	You envy Jesus Christ?
	You envy Einstein?
	You know, it's good to be the model for the eyes of Yoda, right?
	You envy the Coen brothers, George Costanza, William Randolph Hearst.
	I envy those without student debt.
	I envy my friend who's about to have a son.
	You envy the Apostle Paul's boldness.
	You envy Alexander the Great.
	Well, come on, with that surname he was bound to be great, right?
	You envy Thomas Edison.
	You envy anybody who's truly happy.
	You envy people who have basic health.
	I'm so sorry. I sympathize.
	I really sympathize. You envy Sam Hyde.
	You envy your dog. Do you know, I used to fantasize about being a dog when I first moved to Canada.
	We lived with my crazy uncle who had a lovely collie dog who'd just lie there in the sun and, you know, twitched dreaming of rabbits.
	And I was like, I hated school and I hated being in Canada.
	And I was just like, man, I... I really wish I was a dog.
	My pretty life is a dog.
	I wish I was a dog.
	Vanity is my favorite sin.
	Yeah, it's a good movie. You Envy Maybe Me.
	I appreciate that. Thank you.
	Candace Owens' husband.
	Oh yeah, she's a great woman.
	A great woman. You want Steph to sing some Queen songs.
	Where is it now? You know, it's funny.
	I've lost a little bit of my voice because I got a tooth drilled out from up here because it was ankylose and it's given me a bit of a droop here and I've lost a little bit of control over the old vocals.
	But yeah, I'll get around to it, I'm sure.
	Down Bilzarian. Kate Beckinsdale's underwear.
	Well, hopefully not when it's too old.
	Mark Zuckerberg, All That Power.
	Noel Gallagher. Garfield.
	Guys with GTRS. I don't know what that means.
	Andrea Bocelli. Oh, yeah.
	Great singer, right? David Gilmour.
	Yeah. Being able to do those guitar legs would be something else, right?
	I envy people with a virtuous wife and kids, so basically, Stefan, don't we all?
	Well, thank you. I am reading.
	Sorry, I've just got a bunch of chats up at the moment.
	But come on. We all.
	You envy Jordan Peterson?
	I think that was a little easier to do a couple of months ago.
	I envy my trust fund friends.
	Oh, yeah! Man, there was this guy.
	Oh, I still remember his name, but people didn't ask for me to be famous and know me 30 years ago.
	This guy, super good looking, and I used to envy guys with great hair.
	And he was super good looking, and he got this...
	His family bought this house and he had a room that I just loved.
	He had a room. It was one of these slanting, ceilinged, half-triangles, attic rooms.
	So cozy. So cool.
	He was like the coolest guy around.
	He was the coolest guy around.
	So... Yeah, you envy Orson Welles?
	Yeah, before he got fatter.
	Anyone with a decent-looking girlfriend?
	You envy your left hand?
	Arnold Schwarzenegger?
	His bad knees, but yeah, pretty good life, right?
	I envy Linus Torvalds, his code runs everywhere.
	You envy the dead? Oh, well, sorry to hear that.
	I envy kids free to eat and sleep and worry-free?
	Yeah, well, daycare and school, right?
	You envy the metal pole at the local exotic dancing establishment?
	Please go and wash yourself, I beg you.
	You envy cats? Yeah, pretty...
	You envy those who don't envy?
	Yeah, see, we all, right?
	We all have these...
	Envy your young Brad Pitt?
	Yeah, because everybody wants that waspy waist ab thing, right?
	You envy anybody who's never had a guardianship put on them?
	I'm sorry about that. I envy a maid of mine who gets heaps of pussy...
	Nah, but he's just making bitter, broken women, right?
	It's going to hit his conscience at some point, I'm telling you.
	You envy Izzy? Oh, that's very nice.
	Thank you. You envy people with fishing shows.
	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
	All right. You envy Michael Hutchins of NXS. What a shitty way to go, though, eh?
	Talk about your great-grandfather, William Molyneux.
	I've got a whole show on that. All right.
	So here's the point.
	Yeah, we envy, right? We envy now.
	Envy can be an amazing thing.
	It can be a jetpack. I envied the people...
	I remember I did a network installation and a computer set up for a guy in his home office.
	And he had this big, beautiful house, nice family and all of that.
	And I said, it's a beautiful place you've got going on here.
	And I was just starting out. And he's like, yes, God has been good to me.
	He's very Christian. He said, yes, God has been good to me.
	I'm like, why wasn't God good to me exactly?
	Why wasn't God good to me?
	And it's a big question, right?
	Why am I not getting what other people are getting?
	And listen, we've all seen these shows, right?
	These talent shows, right?
	Someone comes out and they start singing and they sound terrible.
	And you think, like, why hasn't anyone told them?
	They think they're good. They say, hey, do you think you can win this competition?
	They're like, sure. Is this the real?
	Like, they just sound terrible, right?
	And they think they sound good and they get really angry at Simon or whoever, right?
	Because they're like, sorry, this ain't you, dog.
	This is not your thing, dog.
	And you envy Steven Crowder.
	Yeah, it's a pretty cool life too, right?
	So that envy thing is a big thing, right?
	How do we explain it?
	How do we explain...
	Like, look at wolves, right?
	I mean, are there wolves who are like, you went and got one rabbit, I came back with 10,000?
	And we, of course, know these people...
	In a way that we didn't know before, right?
	So you think of some tribe with like 50 people.
	Yeah, there's going to be people who are better at hunting, but they don't come back with 50 deer instead of one, right?
	They might get a deer twice as often, which is great, right?
	But we don't have that crazy disparity.
	We're not evolved to handle these crazy disparities because they weren't around throughout most of our evolution when we lived in these small isolated tribes or villages or farming communities or you name it.
	Plus, there really wasn't that incentive to be really, really great at hunting, right?
	Like, you know that...
	Shit, what's that movie where the guy goes and starves to death in a bus in the Arctic, in Alaska?
	Like, he gets a whole bunch of food, but he can't keep it because he doesn't have a fridge, right?
	So there wasn't even that much point being a perfectly great hunter in the past because you couldn't even keep the food if you got excess food, right?
	Yeah. You just end up with fly shit and eggs in it, right?
	So, we're not equipped to handle these wild extremities that occur in our life.
	I mean, I still remember her name.
	Ooh, first name Shelly.
	There was this girl who was like the total queen of my junior high school.
	Total queen! Like, it wasn't even like there wasn't even a close second.
	Total queen. Like, she was just—everybody wanted to date her.
	Most of the guys are too chicken to ask her out.
	I did. I asked her out.
	And she said no. But I'm still glad I did.
	So, we're just—we're not equipped.
	We're not equipped. And, of course, where there was the hot guy or the hot girl, they'd get snapped up in their late teens and get married, and that was it, right?
	You couldn't—right? It was now a sin to— So we can't handle this massive inequality that we've got going on here.
	We struggle to try and explain it.
	And the God explanation for political disparities and inequality or political inequality, that's gone.
	So what do we have?
	How do we explain the robber barons as they're so-called?
	How do we explain Elon Musk and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs?
	And how do we explain these people?
	Now, there's two explanations.
	One is allowed and one is not.
	The allowed one is exploitation.
	So the communists come along and say, why does that guy have $10 million?
	Because he stole $10 from a million people.
	Boom. Done.
	And people are like, oh shit.
	He's got more than me because he's worse than me.
	Woo! Thank God now I can go get stuff back from him.
	It's a huge relief. It answers that question and rebalances everyone's vanity.
	The tall poppy syndrome, it's the nail that sticks up that gets hammered down.
	So the people who excel, like, oh man, you want to talk about an ambivalent thing in society?
	Look how much I've succeeded in bringing philosophy to the world.
	I'm like one of the most loved and hated people on the planet.
	One of the most loved and hated people on the planet.
	In the people who know of me, right?
	So, success is a very complicated thing.
	You succeed and people don't like it.
	Because especially the more you succeed, the more disparity there is, the more you dislike it, right?
	Now, the more people are going to have issues with you and it's a challenge, right?
	So, oh my gosh.
	When you start to get the vast disparities of wealth that came out of the agricultural revolution, that came out of the industrial revolution revolution, It's one thing if you say, well, there's a lord there that God put there.
	I'm not the fruit of his loins, and so I can't be a lord.
	But if everybody has this opportunity in the free market and only some people become super rich, a lot of people become middle class, a lot of people stay poor, and there's this churn.
	Of course, there wasn't much of a churn at the beginning because everyone was just starting out.
	But it's like, oh my God, how can I explain it?
	And so the Marxists come along and they say, well, we know.
	We know what's going on. We know that guy's rich.
	Guy's rich because he stole from everyone.
	Because he exploited. Because he's underpaying his workers.
	Because he's a cold, sociopathic, nasty son of a bitch who bangs his employees.
	Because, you know, Karl Marx was all about projection.
	Who was Karl Marx? A cold, sociopathic son of a bitch who banged his employee.
	Banged his maid, threw it out on the street, and refused to acknowledge his son.
	I always remember that George Orwell's adopted son ended up, I think, selling agricultural products in the Shetland Islands.
	It's a lonely, God forsaken, place to be.
	But anyway, Into the Wild.
	Thank you, that's the movie. So, Marxism came along ahead of the other explanation.
	Now, the other explanation is twofold.
	It's causality and effect, right?
	So the effect is simple.
	I know that there's lots of interferences in the free market, but let's just pretend for a moment and say, okay, why does Elon Musk have so much money?
	He has so much money because people believe that he provides so much value.
	Why is it that Freddie Mercury was so wealthy?
	Because he provided so much value to people.
	Music that they liked, concerts, and the guy was the best front man in history.
	Like, no doubt, no question, the best front man in history.
	And I've really, I studied him, and I studied him, and I really try to figure out how to connect with an audience in the way that he did, and have a conversation and so on, right?
	So... The answer, why did Bill Gates have so much money?
	Well, because Bill Gates provides a lot of value to people.
	It's kind of cool to have an operating system that's common to everyone so that people can build for it and you get lots of apps and all that kind of stuff, right?
	So there were some accidents. His father was a patent lawyer.
	IBM made some mistakes and opened up the architecture in the way that Wozniak and Jobs didn't.
	But whatever, whatever, whatever.
	Why does he have so much money?
	Because he provides a huge amount of value.
	Why does Mark Zuckerberg have a lot of money?
	Because people want to envy each other's fruit salads on Facebook and Facebook.
	Whatever, right? And the occasional white woman posts a picture of the rare baby or whatever, right?
	So that is why people are so rich, because they provide value to other people.
	Now, the question is then, okay, well, why can't I go out and provide value to other people?
	Right? That's tough, because we are all a hero in our own life, yet we are generally insignificant to the world.
	That's tough. Now Christianity solved that by saying, hey man, we know you're a hero in your own life.
	You might be invisible to the world, but God loves you and Jesus loves you.
	So you're special to God.
	But we don't have that anymore.
	Now the only way we can feel special is to be rich or famous or beautiful or wanted or desired or envied.
	We don't have that relationship with God who makes us special regardless of the indifference of the world.
	You get it? It's tough.
	And so envy, envy is churning away at us.
	Churning away at us.
	I mean, I was a good-looking kid, right?
	So I was scouted for modeling and stuff like that, and I got into it, and I was like, no, no, no, no, bad life, bad life, even though it was very tempting, right?
	And I obviously didn't really do much of anything in that field, but It was, you know, people look at the supermodels, Linda Eventilista, whatever her name was, said, oh, I don't even get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
	And we're all fascinated by the dark side of celebrity.
	Like you see these, the YouTubers who were like, oh, I'm so depressed and I've got to put out so much content and it's so stressful and I burned out and it's like it's tough.
	Everybody thinks everybody else has an easy life, like that old cartoon, two guys in a bar, one of them turns to the other and says, hey, how's your life going?
	The other guy says, it's not bad, it's just, I wish it was, it's just still not Sting's life, right?
	Sting was told about that, and he's like, I don't know, I have my own trouble.
	Sting's accountant stole a huge amount of money from him, and he had to chase him off to court.
	Anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but...
	So, that's the big question.
	And Marxism says theft, exploitation, and so on, right?
	And so, the effect is, well, you're just providing value.
	But that's a way of measuring the effect rather than stating the course.
	And the closest thing that we have to figuring out why people become wealthy is IQ. Intelligence, quotient.
	That is...
	The closest thing that we have to being able to explain why people become wealthy is IQ. That is the reality of the situation.
	That is the alternate explanation as to Why people become wealthy.
	And this is why the Marxists hate it.
	This is why the leftists hate it. It's a direct competing.
	It is a direct competition to the exploitation argument, right?
	How are we going to figure this out?
	Okay.
	So I'll read a little bit here, just so you get a little bit of background.
	First IQ test developed by French psychologist Alfred Binet.
	I think his brother Bidet invented a drinking fountain to help stream disruptive children into different classes.
	It was imported in 1916 by Stanford psychologist Louis Terman.
	In 1917, which was the height of World War I, the U.S. government recruited Terman to help develop the Army Alpha, an IQ test administered to nearly 2 million drafted men.
	So this would figure out whether you were shipped to the front lines or whether you went to the elite officer class, right?
	This was to try and figure out how to make the best use of that, right?
	IQ test measure academic abilities.
	The best-known IQ battery, the Stanford Binet 5, measures fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, and working memory.
	These skills are collectively known as symbolic logic and form the components of the General Intelligence, or G. IQ tests do not measure creativity, emotional intelligence, or work ethic.
	That's sort of around conscientiousness, one of the big five personality traits, right?
	But emotional intelligence hasn't proven to have any significant predictive value when it comes to academic or work performance after controlling for both cognitive ability and the big five personality tests, openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
	So yeah, just remember everyone says, well, you know, IQ is not all that matters.
	There's EQ, emotional intelligence.
	Nah, that's just a consolation prize for people who don't get much IQ to think that they, right, everybody wants to feel like they have value.
	And I sympathize with that. It's not a perfectly valuable and valid thing.
	To say. So IQ doesn't measure any kind of fixed or immutable intelligence, but the basic fact is intelligence is one of the most stable traits that we know of in the world.
	So just a little bit more background here, because this is, sorry, very, very important stuff.
	So, the differentiation between IQ and G. G stands for general intelligence.
	IQ is more specific areas.
	So, English psychologist Charles Spearman first described the existence of general intelligence in 1904.
	And he said, you know, the kids who do well in one area of the IQ test tend to do well in other areas as well.
	This led him to theorize that a general capacity to learn and reason underlies performance in all cognitive tests.
	Like, I mean, if you're a really good athlete, you're probably going to be good at other sports as well because, you know, you've got fast muscles, you've got good reflexes, you've got great body control and so on.
	So this is why some people go from, like, it's kind of traditional that hockey players in the winter do golf and maybe tennis in the summer and so on, and they're good at both, right?
	So IQ tests involve many different subtests, but IQ and G are used interchangeably, but they're not the exact same thing.
	One's IQ score is a very good but not perfect approximation of one's general intellectual ability, or G. So there are five components of general intelligence, and both verbal and nonverbal responses are measured.
	So there's visual-spatial processing involving abilities like solving puzzles, filling in patterns, quantitative reasoning, the capacity to solve numerical problems, knowledge, Involves drawing upon a person's stock of information on a wide range of topics.
	Fluid reasoning, the ability to think flexibly and solve usually abstract problems where no prior knowledge is required, making it the most general cognitive ability.
	And working memory involves the use of short-term memory.
	Now people say, well, knowledge is kind of unfair.
	Drawing upon a person's stock of information on a wide range of topics.
	But it is kind of fair because smart people like to read.
	They like to learn. They're curious.
	I mean, I spent half my childhood working and half my childhood in the library.
	And, you know, they're really not super complicated, these things, right?
	And I can put out a couple of examples if you like, but they really are not that complicated.
	Right. So the way that you work it out, so you get these raw individual test scores and they're converted, so they correlate perfectly to a bell curve representing the entire population of same age test participants.
	So an IQ score of 100, which is the white norm, means 50% of the people in your age group scored better and 50% scored worse, right?
	So if it's 1,000 people, 500 did better and about 500 did worse.
	An IQ score of 85 means that 84.13% of the people in your age group scored better and 15.87% scored worse.
	An IQ score of 130 means that 2.28% of the people in your age group scored better and 97.72% scored worse.
	So that's kind of how it works.
	Heritability is a big deal.
	When it comes to kids, right?
	How much genetic variation contributes to observable variations in a trait is measured by this statistic called heritability.
	It ranges from zero, like nothing, to one, which is like all of it, right?
	So this is the percentage of variation, such as in IQ, that is due to variation in genes.
	And, you know, twin studies, adoption studies are commonly used to determine this.
	So child studies find the heritability of IQ is about 0.5.
	This means that half of the variation in IQ among children studied resulted from variation in their genes.
	The remaining half was thus due to environmental variation and measurement error.
	Studies on adults show that they have a higher heritability of IQ than children.
	The heritability of has been measured as 0.8 by late teens.
	The American Psychological Association 1995 Task Force concluded the heritability of IQ within the white population is about 0.75.
	In a sample of American siblings in 1997, they found that the inequality in education and income was predominantly due to genes.
	Shared environmental factors played a subordinate role.
	There's only so much that you can do when it comes to that, right?
	So the heritability of IQ is less than 100%, therefore the IQ of children tends to regress towards the mean IQ of the population.
	High IQ parents tend to have children who are less bright, while low IQ parents tend to have children who are brighter than their parents.
	So if the heritability of IQ, we clock it around 50%, a couple from a population with a median IQ of 100 who have an average IQ of 120 may have children that average around an IQ 110.
	So this regression towards the mean of the population, this is one of the reasons why immigration is a big challenge.
	Because if you have a generally low IQ haplogroup or population, then the smarter people who come, their kids probably aren't going to do as well.
	And that's just one of these really, really tragic things to realize about all of this, right?
	So It's incredibly, insanely predictive about a lot of things.
	It's insanely predictive about a lot of things.
	I'll just give you a couple of them, right?
	So if you look at...
	If you've had an illegitimate baby, right?
	So if you've had a baby out of wedlock, if you have an IQ of less than 75...
	32%, right? If you have an IQ above 125, it's less than 1%.
	If you live in poverty, 30% less than 75, 2% greater than 125 IQ. Chronic welfare recipient, less than 75.
	31%, 75 to 90 IQ, 17%, 90 to 110, 8%, 110 to 125, 2%, greater than 125, less than 1%.
	Are you a high school dropout?
	55 less than 75 IQ, 75 to 90 is 35%, 90 to 110 is 6, 110 to 125 is 0.4, greater than 125 is less than 0.4.
	And have you ever been incarcerated?
	Right? So less than 75 to an IQ of 90, 7%.
	And it goes down 90 to 110, 3%.
	110 to 125, 1%.
	Greater than 125, you're less than 1% chance of ever being incarcerated.
	So it matters.
	Again, you can't predict things for individuals, but you sure as heck can look...
	So those with low IQ scores are more prone to welfare dependency.
	IQ 75 to 80 is the threshold where individuals risk being unemployable in the modern economy.
	An IQ below 80 to 83 indicates they're unlikely to benefit from any formalized workplace training.
	The U.S. military is prohibited from enlisting recruits on an IQ below 80.
	Failure rates are too high to justify the training costs.
	For the average person in the middle, 50% of the bell curve, IQ 91 to 110, you can do mid-level jobs.
	You can be a clerk, skilled trade person, insurance sales representative.
	For the top 5% of the population, IQ of 125 or greater intelligence requirements for all occupations are met.
	And it really matters.
	Men with higher IQs are more likely to be married and stay married longer.
	And verbal intelligence is really, really key to marriage.
	Mathematic skill doesn't make any difference, right?
	IQ and health.
	A 2010 Swedish longitudinal study, a million men taking intelligence tests for army conscription purposes were followed up with for mental disorders.
	The risk of hospital admissions for all categories of mental disorders was correlated with lower IQ score.
	Lower IQ score means...
	Higher risk for hospitalization for all categories of mental disorder.
	You know this idea of the crazy genius?
	It does not fit with the data.
	Again, it's just one of these things where the envy kind of sits in, right?
	Higher IQ can partially account for why some children are more resilient than others when faced with deprivation or abuse.
	They're called bulletproof.
	They're called the wonder kids. They can just get through just about anything, and a lot of that has to do with IQ. IQ predicts the risk of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and alcohol abuse and dependence.
	Adults who scored higher on IQ tests in childhood lived longer, had fewer total hospital admissions, and were less likely to develop coronary heart disease or high blood pressure.
	Because as the population's IQ falls, which is happening in America, it's happening in other places in the West, as the IQ population says, oh my gosh, these healthcare costs are going through the roof.
	And that's because the lower IQ, the longer you're going to live, the more you're going to be in the hospital, the more heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, and all these other things.
	There is a long, you know, this beautiful mind thing.
	Everything's programming, right?
	There's a myth that people who suffer from OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder, have higher IQ scores.
	Not true. A 2018 meta-analytical study found that, quote, OCD is not associated with superior IQ, but with normative IQ that is slightly lower compared to control samples.
	A Swedish study surveyed 50,000 men that completed this IQ test as part of military conscription between 69 and 71.
	Those with lower IQ scores consumed heavier, riskier amounts of alcohol.
	So... General intelligence is the best predictor of job performance.
	I found this out when I was a manager.
	I created my own intelligence test and gave it to people, and it almost completely solved hiring issues.
	So there's a measure between the correlation between a score—this is cognitive ability, this is the pencil and paper test—and outcome.
	So job performance measured by supervisor ratings, promotions, training, success, tenure— So listen to this, guys.
	Blow your mind. The predictive value of cognitive ability for job performance increases with job complexity.
	So cognitive ability is only correlated with success in unskilled jobs at 0.2.
	What do you think it is for the most complex jobs?
	0.8. 0.8.
	Cognitive ability tests correlate with success in your job performance.
	For the most complex jobs at 0.8, that's about as perfect a correlation as you can possibly get.
	So, of course, companies have a strong incentive to use cognitive ability tests to select and promote employees, but it's virtually outlawed in the West.
	IQ has an incredible value in economic terms, and it doesn't seem to have diminishing returns at the highest levels.
	IQ continues to confer significant benefits, even at very high levels.
	Ability and performance for jobs are related linearly.
	At every IQ level, increases in IQ translates into a concomitant increase in performance.
	And I'll put all the sources to this below.
	But political correctness says you can't use blind cognitive tests.
	to hire or promote employees, right?
	So, IQ.
	IQ.
	It's IQ.
	I don't know what else to tell you.
	It's not exploitation.
	It's not theft.
	It's not predation. It's IQ. That's standout best, 100 years worth of data.
	It's IQ. And IQs vary by ethnicity.
	I mean, you can talk about the...
	The Pygmies, they've got an IQ average of about 57%.
	All the way to verbal skills in the Ashkenazi Jew population or Jewish population clocking in in the one-teens.
	East Asians in particular with spatial reasoning very high.
	And East Asians clock above whites 104, 105, 106.
	Whites again averaging at 100.
	And Hispanics in the high 80s.
	American blacks in the mid-80s.
	Blacks in Africa, lower.
	And again, all the way down to the bottom.
	I think the lowest recorded are around in the Pykmes and so on, right?
	These are just tragic, challenging, difficult facts that we can continue to ignore and at our peril, right?
	So that is...
	And again, there are really dumb Jewish people, and there are incredibly smart blacks, and there are Asians who are very bad at spatial reasoning, and there are really dumb whites.
	And I mean, again, individuals never, ever, ever, right?
	Don't judge any individuals by group averages, but group averages do matter in a meritocracy.
	And that's...
	The conversation is just not allowed.
	And the suffering will continue to increase until we can have a conversation about this.
	I have a huge amount of sympathy.
	To people who are born with ill health.
	I have a huge amount of sympathy to people who are born into abusive households.
	I have a huge amount of sympathy to people who are born with cleft palates.
	Happiness is not specifically correlated with IQ. You can have a wonderful life with lower IQ. It doesn't mean you've got to be unhappy.
	It doesn't seem to have much correlation in terms of happiness, right?
	But... These are facts we're just not allowed to talk about.
	And I get in trouble for talking about it, but I love you guys.
	I love the world. I love civilization.
	I love society. I love the truth.
	And people say, oh, why would you want to talk about this stuff?
	It's because we're all tortured by group differences in outcome.
	We're all tortured by group differences in outcome.
	And the standard answer from the left has been white racism.
	Why is the third world poor?
	Well, there are answers that involve IQ. It's not 100%.
	There's dietary issues.
	There's cultural issues. There's cousin marriage.
	There's a bunch of stuff, right? But why is the third world poor?
	Well, the only answer, of course, is, well, because white people stole all the resources like nobody else ever stole resources throughout history until white people came along.
	It was just Shangri-La, right?
	All just milk and honey and Eden and all that, right?
	Because it's a dangerous answer to if there are group differences in outcomes, whether it's criminality, whether it's income, whether it's stability, whether it's whatever.
	If there are group differences in outcome, if the only answer is white racism, we have a problem.
	We have a big freaking problem that's heading our way.
	It's not the true answer.
	Are there white racists? Sure, there are.
	Are the racists racist?
	Yeah.
	In fact, white countries are the least racist countries on Earth by statistics, by measures, by all the data that's there.
	Oh, it's crazy.
	So, yeah, I have a lot...
	There are people of every ethnicity and so on, and there are also differences between males and females as well, which are not insignificant.
	So why are there riots?
	There are riots for a variety of reasons.
	The welfare state is a big problem, because with the welfare state, people who are less intelligent of every race have a greater incentive to have more children rather than a job.
	Because when you don't have a lot of high IQ, jobs tend to not be that exciting, not that interesting, not that involving, and so on, right?
	So that's a big issue.
	And if you're going to say, you know, single moms have an average IQ in the 90s, and not the high 90s either, and so unfortunately it's a eugenics program.
	Well, disgenics technically, and it's horrible.
	It's a horrible government program.
	The redistribution of wealth by the guns of the state is a terrible, terrible thing.
	It's a terrible thing. And...
	That's one of the issues. The government, of course, also, we know that boys in particular raised without...
	Well, girls raised without fathers tend to be more promiscuous, and boys raised without fathers tend to be slightly more criminal, and that has an effect as well.
	And there are disasters within certain communities, and if we're not allowed to talk about anything except white oppression, white racism, history of this, that, or the other...
	Things are just going to keep getting worse until we are allowed to have sensible, intelligent, compassionate, compassionate discussions about these things.
	I say all of this with deep love in my heart, deep sympathy in my heart, and a desperate desire for all of us to be able to get along better.
	But we can only meet in the truth.
	We can only meet in reality.
	We can only meet in facts.
	The superstition of the left is that all disparities result from prejudice and bigotry and hatred.
	And it serves divisions that cannot be healed.
	It helps us all.
	I'm not saying it's easy, but screaming it down is, suffering increases until the truth is accepted.
	Always. Always.
	So, it's not valuing people, of course valuing people based on IQ, but it's not valuing people existentially.
	It's not It's not that people have different...
	Certainly everybody should have equality under the law.
	It's not about valuing people in some, oh, you're a better person because you have higher IQ. That's not the case at all.
	It's not true at all. In fact, some people who are high IQ are very bad people and some people who have lower IQ are very good and decent people.
	Great people, in fact.
	So it's not any kind of existential you have value or don't have value as a human being.
	Nothing like that. It's just that If you're looking for a lead singer, the quality of the voice matters.
	You say, oh, well, if you don't have a good singing voice, that means you're not valuable as a human being.
	It's like, nobody's saying that.
	Nobody's saying that. At all.
	I wonder what Jesus' IQ was.
	Very, very high.
	Where are the sources? I will put them...
	I will put them around.
	I will put them in the video.
	So... It's important.
	And I do sometimes wonder if countries didn't sort of develop around IQ lines.
	I don't know. I mean, there's certainly reasons for it because the envy and rage and frustration can just be enormous.
	Enormous. All right.
	It's been two and a half hours.
	It's been great chat. Get this off my list of things to do and to talk about.
	Again, I know people are upset by it.
	I don't want to upset everybody.
	I want... That's to get along.
	You know, we're all in this together.
	Nobody's going back to their corners, neither should they, but we all got to find ways to get along.
	And, you know, the leftists, the communists, I saw this in China.
	You can see this on my documentary in Hong Kong, the history of the takeover in China.
	They just sowed hatred against each other, right?
	So, you know, the blacks are taught to hate the whites.
	The whites now fear the blacks.
	I mean, this is not going to work.
	It's It's not designed to work, right?
	The way that the divisions are being sown and split and all of that, it's designed to have us at each other's throats as we get ground under totalitarianism.
	It's not good.
	It's not good.
	So it is with love and with positivity and with hope and with a sincere and passionate desire for us to all get along that I speak about these things.
	I did talk about the independent autopsy at the beginning.
	You'll have to rewind. All right.
	Any other? Keep listening to Steph, but keep thinking for yourself.
	Absolutely. Absolutely.
	Absolutely. So Sovereign Border says, I guess some people are very productive, high IQ, etc.
	So why does government make starting a business for entrepreneurs so onerous and provide socialism for the rich?
	Because the government and the corporations, the government, the rich are hand in glove.
	You know, if Tim Cook wants to call Trump or Joe Biden, that call goes through.
	You and I don't get those calls, right?
	Have you ever felt that you were swimming against the flow?
	No, never. Absolutely not.
	Absolutely not. Now, as far as, you know, low IQ people in society, I mean, yeah, they're on welfare and so on.
	I think that if we have a better understanding of all of this stuff and we can talk about it and all of that...
	Listen, I'm very happy to help.
	I'm happy to donate time, energy, resources, money to help people who can't make a go of it in the modern society.
	It's not their fault. We should absolutely have compassion and sympathy and understanding and love for people who, through no fault of their own, again, given the genetics, given the history, it's not their fault.
	It's not... Something that they should be blamed for.
	It's not something that is a cause of hatred.
	It's sympathy. We've got to love each other.
	We've got to care for each other.
	But if we ignore some of these basic facts, we're just going to end up hating each other and it's going to go very, very badly.
	Very badly indeed.
	There's no reason why we can't all talk about things and get along.
	How do we test our IQ without paying for it?
	Now you need to have a test by a professional.
	That's online stuff. It's mostly garbage.
	Hey, Steph, would you have hired a person with an IQ of 125 in your company?
	Absolutely. Higher IQ, the better, at least for all of that stuff, right?
	Thanks for the stream. How can I help?
	FreeDomain.com forward slash donate.
	Come on, you know nobody else is talking about this kind of stuff, right?
	And we need to. We need to.
	Like all these people like Sam Harris and so on, like, well, we can't talk about it.
	It's bad. We shouldn't talk about it.
	I know we had the conversation with Murray, but what's the point of talking about it?
	It's like, you know, everybody who's been suppressing this conversation, man, you guys own the riots.
	You own the riots. You own the riots.
	I can't believe people actually value IQ. It means nothing!
	I absolutely have complete and total sympathy as to why you think that.
	I really, really understand.
	Really, really understand. I'm going to close things off.
	A nice, long, juicy live stream.
	A very, very great pleasure.
