Sixteen for the fifth episode of the conversation starring our very own, Andrew Craven, who throws a really good Christmas Party by the way that you missed out on numerous events. So if you can't out of the new year, always after sundown, so I thought you might come yeah. I thought so too, but I have too little kids know baby sitting I brought my kids ripeness because you have noticed with peace and the children were allowed because he likes like ornaments, only hung at the forefront level around the fair enough, but they actually, my four year old, had do. Go decorate behind the tree that was facing the window and choose very excited about that she's, the only when they got to go back there I have it. I have a really dumb dental question to ask, but I'm only killing time because we're waiting for the real question from subscribers to come in right now: cuz, I'm sure they're hastily logging in is there an equivalent of a Christmas tree for Hanukkah.
No, no I mean there there is that there is a manoeuvre, but that was an actual accoutrements in the Temple. Yes right so another's, there's not like a random shrub, there's not going to make ranks and hang upon the doors are no. We don't do that. Just have the moderate in the window. The maybe yes right, we have been opened the window and we don't actually go entire yarn. My chop things off the bushes and anybody who talks about the Hanukkah Bush, not a jewish thing. This is this. Is? U being sad because you don't have Christmas, which I understand Christmas is pretty awesome. Christmas is pretty, I mean it's it's a great holiday, but if you have to imitate the Christians by going out and chopping off a shrubbery and sticking a buyer, fireplace then you're doing around. While there was the burning bush, but that's a totally different, totally different thing. So we have our first question and greater all: let's do it try to get poorer as many as possible Spencer asks Hayband, where you ever unsure as to what you want what to do with your life. When exactly did you decide to become a lawyer and then change to delivering political commentary full time, so I actually never want to be a worse. I first started off when I was in when I sixteen I went to college and when I was starting a college
double major and music and genetic biology. Why and I watch on campus and within the first few weeks I had seen a piece in the You things happen, one I took and genetic Neffer engineering majors, which was not great Second, was that I saw and its oral in the in the daily Bruin these heel. I paper that was really in Anti Israel Anti medicated toward. I walked into the office aspect or at a counter and entered into comas writing every couple weeks and its work gas from there. So I didn't know that I was going into politics until then, and then, when I was That's why I didn't want to be in law school. I was not interested in going to law school. My mom wanted me to be in law school because she basically runs business affairs for companies and always work I'm getting her lot agree and the effort of the Alps. Well, we got an harboured seeking to go so we make group half was essentially set from the time that I was seventeen or eighteen years old, but it was very different from the career path. I thought I was gonna happen sixty and do you have any reason I mean depends on political new cycle when the political move cycle really Saxon might well be nice, Vienna Symphony and then,
I realise what people in symphonies get paid, then why? Well, I guess you initially in politics and how symphonies can be political, as we saw with our own from and its programme, that is for a while now Schroeder, surviving a symphony things I barely surviving in an office. This is true, Dylan is asking hayband, you ve talked a lot about Beethoven, but what do you think of Frederick Chopin and I feel like I said that wrong? You know Chopin, sorry and what's enacting Lodge ABC. I knew how to say that. But now you made me greetings from they suffer Switzerland. Okay, so send us some chocolate and complex. I ve I so I'd, I'm not a huge Chopin firmer? I think you have to be a pianist really be Chopin fan. Everyone I know has a huge amount of Chopin is a pianist deputies, different emphases, orchestration our revolution. Generic, wonderful and I loved embassies, music. I think I beseech you spectacular, say your dad is he's promotional had us. Yes, he like he don't shook and although he likes
ass. They, when you're, a professional, Palliser, professional violinist, their sort of difference between show pieces and more serious. Music and Chopin sort of from what he said anyway serve ones line between showpiece and serious music and my dad, hence like more serious music, so he's gonna play like Beethoven and Bronze and by him, and that's all music shook hands a little more and show is so if somebody wanted to take a class, the many that potentially learn. You know like cooking and music and all these extra skills, because I feel, like you, have a lot of like side. Things that you enjoy doing is Hobbes.

So if you're subscriber be sure to login we're taking questions since they can, then we have another one right now for me, turn on Andrew howdy. What are your thoughts regard whom the investor George Soros? Oh George, Soros. Obviously easier. Radical left us with a hard left agenda. He funds a bunch of groups in the United States who are not good for the for the body politic. Also, his histories and invest has been called into question before he was simple, single handedly responsible from a sinking the british pound. At one point he is a sketchy, to say the least, but most of these Yes, that is associate with sources associated with his political spending. He really does a lot of radically anti american groups and those groups are the car are definite kind of sticking points in the cause of democracy and their sticking points in the cognitive like what was in it
cycle and twenty sixteen and twenty seventy. While many ease always a lot of that, a lot of the groups that black was narrow groups have been supported by George Soros out. The outer Wall Street groups were supported by George Soros. He is radically left guy. There's no question. Next, we have a question from Tom High. Then. What is your opinion on the proposed idea that race and iq are linked? Do too networks rather than environment, so the evidence on Race- and I q is mixed with regard to how much these are linked to genetics, I was too environment. So that's never really been There are five because you have actually seen IQ movement in group so when, for example, the I started to be used to begin Twentyth century eastern European Jews tested very low on the IQ test and then within a generation there has been very high on the iq test. A lot of it has to do with education that one has to do with. How will you speak the language I had also depends when you're taking the two. So IQ. Q tests are quite variable lot of the time people take IQ test when their three or four years old and those are not predictive. It's only when you get seven or eight years old. That IQ test are actually predicted and, of course, its necessary to point out that even
if there is a group that had a lower iq than another group that did not speak to individuals within the group and where they fall in the acute chart, because individuals are individuals, group metrics, our group metric, so it doesn't really sail out for what policies should be, even if there were differentials, and I q among various groups like men or women, or whether you talking racial group, so any group, the APEC, there's gonna be some iq differential because people are not identical in the chances that did that averages out exactly the same are relatively well, but that said, the eight, the attempt by some to basically say that discretion, see in in America or in any other country are generally caused by IQ difference, as opposed to, for example, culture. I think that's, that's that's a difficult road to how just because I q does not directly correlate with with income beyond a certain point. For example: ok interesting, I once now hayband. What's your response to left us say: gender is disconnected from facts. So one of the things that really irritating that have left us address gender in sectors that they like to read
fine gender depending on the context in which their using it so they'll say. They'll say that sex, the others what this will save their sex, which is by logical, your man or your woman or your intersects, and then they will say that there is gender engendered. The social contract sets feminine or masculine. Ok. Well, feminine masculine are connected to biology red men tend to be more masculine, women tend to be more feminine. There is a biological connection there, but the left will do is they'll say gender is completely disconnected from sex. Is completely arbitrary to social construct and then they'll be back, in the sacks. What they want gender to be sustained a gender. Nothing to do with man or woman, but there is such a thing- is found. The masculine? These are social constructs and you can push those back in two, no biological sex no longer exists, a biological. What and who identifies dense gendered man is actually a biological man. Right is the way that the left likes to treat this and its inside I mean you can't conflate these terms. If you want to say There are certain elements of sidled constructs that are clearly socially constructed, like, for example, garment where, to a certain extent, then that's fair, but if you want to say that that it's not
biological, like somebody masculine attributes, are utterly disconnected from sacks biological sex there's no scientific backing for that whatsoever, especially when it relates to hormones. You're. In again it's it's such a bizarre world where doctors are being misinform about sex of their patient because, their being because the patients are being asked for exactly happens on relatively frequent basis, where adaptable and for room happened. My wife at least once where a doctor, her room and it says on the patients chart that these sex is not what the sex of the person actually as in the diagnosis, can be very different if you're having lower stomach craftsmen. If a man, the diagnosis is very different than if you are having lower stomach grounds. In your woman, I'm just wondering how long do we make it into? The conversation before been mentioned is wiping her doktor, those like ten minutes on your neck new record, your nice movement man, the aims you wash their land says: hey Ban loved, to show. Why is it that the left is so quick to give up on their individual rights for the sake of the supposed public good? Do you believe there? ignorant of where this will, as I don't think, they're ignorant of world everything that they blind themselves to word, and I think that the left does not believe in individual rights,
if you are defined by our group identity. So if you a Jew than you did your mother Shouldn t jewish group that matters of your a black person than its membership in the black group that matters, because power can actually be promulgated, except by group dynamics. This is the sort of Marxists theory is that if you are an individual, there's no way can make your way in the world. You can't really act out. Powerful ways in the world you have to ban together with other people, and so we have to identify you by your group. That's the only way that things get done, and so the left is very folk. On things getting done in terms of what they call social justice right, even the term social justice. Evidences. They have very little about individual rights, because social justice is all about. What's good for the group, now good for the individual. What's just for the individual. So next question we have from going I'm trying to get through these as quickly as possible. Would Trotzky have been more dangerous later if he is seated Lenin rather than Stalin, I'm well I mean, if it's hard to imagine that somebody would more dangerous than softened frankly, so trot
key, the differences between the introduction, the Bolsheviks and the and the Trotskyite and this stuff. Knights, and I feel it from back from afar election. There really I mean they they from from afar. They they look relatively minor, is the earth when you, when you look at the actual debate between Trotzky and stolen, it looks like Trotzky was atrocities radical Benaco, it is violent. Salazar was more violent, but not quite as radical as Trotzky, but in the and is very hard to say that somebody would have been a more dangerous later than Stalin, given the stolen ended up murdering fifty to sixty million people minimum so that that's a difficulty David says: high Ban, happy Hanukkah. I want to know your opinion on this issue, as I've debate debated there with my step that sorry, in being a Jew anxiety is being a Jew. Racial, ethnic or religious component of one's identity has to
Shapiro, twenty twenty four. Ok, so I had to get that hashtag. I appreciate ok, so racial at mackerel, ok, soap, ethnic is or is not. Racial Judaism is not racial. Even even Jewishness is now racial. You can see that in the jewish community my wife is moroccan. I am from eastern european extraction there. Jews from Ethiopia. Arrays has nothing to do that. If you go to Israel, you'll see Russians using you, you'll see black Jews written rubber. We random radioset together, and there was a blacksmith Israel, men and that in the american newspapers, didn't know how to address her, because she was she re, lack right, examined, laboratories and enabling Dr Zira, like while we can collar black, but we can cooperate and american and President Obama met her and there like what we say red exactly and answer issues black to introduce you to do for me, the opium, so race has nothing to do that, admittedly, being jewish, isn't it, category, but What really matters is Judaism is religious identity, so one of the aspects of being religious true, is that you have to be ethnically by you, but, unlike normal ethnicity, I can't convert into being black person
can convert into being juicy can convert religiously into being a Jew, and then your bloodstream becomes part of the ethnic identity of Jews. The only reason that I talk about as an ethnic identity is that north of extradition, your mama's ethnically jewish. Then you are jewish, bye, bye, jewish law, but it's not a You know it's hard to say that is a perfect ethnic group in the sense that it's a self contained ethnic group when people can convert it, no one else can convert into an ethnic group, but this is why have such diversity ethnically and racial among Jews Garret says how many hours per day do you read on Monday showed you mentioned that you read a four hundred and seventeen page biography in one week in the eyes of the beta Maghreb, actually read Friday night to Saturday morning, so that deserve how many coming up all night long now I went to bed relatively hook the actual thing and I'm not asking you to read the report I as far as how many or is it I read. It really depends on what my kids will allow me, most of my Renee, yet another weakens Saturday, Friday and Saturday really my big reading day
that, on a normal day, not counting the news just reading books anywhere from half an hour or two an hour. Maybe if I'm lucky, ok, number depends on the day I mean, if I'm, if I'm working on another book like a more but now and that necessitates then I realized maybe a couple hours a day when I'm really, when are we able to note this book is about, I sold the sort of, The book is basically about why we're so angry at each other and why it is that we ve lost a common vision for the country. And it goes all the way back to the roots of western civilization and talks about why it is that we moved away from these routes or start literally at the Bible and Aristotle, and move forward through Aquinas, my and the founders and then talk about the breakdown in western civilization. Basically, the main thesis is that the? What what bill western civilization- was this idea of revelation on one hand, godly universe on the one hand, and the power reason on the other, and those were fuse together with the idea of free in the american founding and then the west side of the God was no longer
This question is no longer necessary and the next thing to fall was reason and then the final thing to follow the democracies there. That's the basic these and you put this in Layman's terms, so people like myself can read. I hope so I mean that's: that's the guy and TBD eyes. When it comes out, I'm in it should be coming out twenty nineteen. So, oh god it's do the end of September. Twenty eight in West Africa and people will congrats on that of ink forward to it does one big if those people watching it these are, as they are then book when the coming. I couldn't get really excited, Megan, hands and says: hey Ban. Why did you go to DC a couple weeks ago? I cannot say I cannot say it is mysterious, but it was cool. I know I know it s. True, usually I mean I could give you my mail dress, NOME king, let your secret out, Brandon Ben! You ve mentioned your disapproval of the Beatles. All this can be fun, Emily and marketing her ears, just peaks because
as the biggest beetles find out. You have this argument. You had this argument around office minister, as with everyone else in the office she's very much on the edge of being fired conversations, so you're disapprove of the Beatles. But what about Elvis good question? What are your favorite bands and do but like music get all, are you human? The last part Angie? I appreciated that is so today. Actually, if we want to see the music that I recommended for today's new cycle pointed out about fifteen separate pieces, they're all classic- yes, I saw them, and so that's that's the classical music dead but I also listen to old school jazz in terms of rock. I believe you did you save jazz. Are you responsible for saving jobs that Grand Gosling is only we know, you're talking my gosh, it's a while allowing referred take over dinner gaudily. These references? Ok, so in any case, as far as dumb as music? I like? Do we brothers, like some of the softer Appalachian Croce? I like John Denver? Ok, but I don't know
his music enough to really critical one where another. I dont think that thrusting your pelvis his skill set, so I'm not sure that natural offices, pelvis, was was really tremendous thing for western civilization. What about Bob Seeger music? Lord have mercy ok cool, but we'll get on that. I promise folks I've been wondering how nice, but who knows about jackets, oh goodness. So if, if people you'd mention social media at your on social media all the time, how many times a day do you send out I'm trying to? But probably forty? And if somebody wanted to become an expert like in social media, What should they do they should go to sculpture? Are you can get a like the fortunes each year to the next level with three million members more than seventeen thousand classes skill share, is the Netflix for our own learning in take classes in graphic design, DSLR, however, social media, marketing, digital illustration and a lot more social classes. They, taught by the best experts experienced professionals from forty five classes and they really are bite size, you can get what you need and boil
nothing else out of the programme, the hosts, the the fact is that I have taken classes in law, colours and social media marketing and various other topics. People around the office have also done this skills. It's getting my listeners one month free trial of unlimited access to about seventeen thousand classes. All you have to do is go to skill shared outcome Lasher pair of zero, give threat for Christmas by the way for votes. I skills, shared icon, slash appear to start your three months it today and once you start- and I don't want to stop because it is going to increase your earning capacity, as well, you need to increase, skills. I am constantly stressing this on the show. If you think you're gonna have a job in a month, you might not that's why you did it increase your skills that live on the edge but make sure that you have the skills necessary to upgrade your salary? Is that a threat knowingly showed never threatened you? I was sometimes wonder when people put in their first and last night.
If I should really read their first and last night, they make a fire because I don't want them to get followers. Gophers, no less, do Brendan here, Mr Ben, when do you think it's ok to paint with a large brush enabling wall? I e liberals with gun owners and most rightly without the girl. Okay, so I think the generalizations can be useful, but you have to be careful with how specific you are being Generalizations are useful in the sense that their shorthand, like people, know what you're saying when you say that Republicans you act or Democrats, you actually left as acts of. Why does why this is why they were when you do that, people that have general idea what you're saying, but always when used generalization nobody should read in their head. There are exceptions to this rule. This doesn't apply to one, unless you literally mean every single person who is a member of the sub group, believes this thing and we maybe we should clarify more often what that means. But I think that it is useful for short acceleration and spend an awful lot of time saying the group. Which seventy nine percent believe a twenty one percent believe be back.
Also breaks down further into this lately in the enroll individual. So if you want to use any sort of shorthand at all, and not just talk about individuals and you're gonna have to you're gonna have to generalise, there's just no around it. So generalization, but I mean: do you think that the left or the right, generalised, more well? I mean, I think, that the question is: who doesn't more its concern issues? Does it wrongly? So? I think that the right generalised about the left a lot less inaccurate there are? Then they then left generalised about the right of the left. Let's take on the rights taken left generally has been that the left is is obsessed with
the notion of libertinism that at the same time, they are community must in communitarianism they believe that grew politics should predominate. That's endemic to left wing thought, but rightwing thought is harmful to pack it down because they don't really understand found in philosophy, although having spent a lot of time with it, you'll find the odd person and what really does understand what conservatives thing, but typically they just well it down to. They must be reactionaries, they benefit the right with reactionary and the right has a tendency to to identify the left with with badly meaning, I don't think that's badly meaning. I just think they suffer from different premises that are wrong. Paul said, then what do you think about the show the twilight zone? For me? It's the best show up to twelve percent aspect, so every every thanksgiving on Syphon Network, the idea they show the full on marathon of twilight zones and their accomplices.
Truly great. If you never seen the howling man, how a man is a personal favorite episode that one is its base, it did. The whole episode is basically the punch line of the usual suspects right. That is, the greatest cricket. I'm overplayed is is to teach her that he's not there there there a couple other episodes that are that are really spectacular and very creepy, really a great creative shell, and we haven't seen anything, I think, probably as goods and since it was out agree, that's that's gotta be up there. If I had to pick top tv shows, multimillion definitely has to be up there. Let me think what age, because there is a creepy element- and I dont go with scary thing- that what age, when you start trying, and Dotard episodes of toilets thirteen fourteen so that'll be the Shapiro stand, though we sit down the count to thanks giving at thirteen and there I think, that's right you are going to writing, is really good. Ok, Joe says Harry Ban had I have used the situation to argue against government healthcare. One doktor is able to provide services to one of two men. One can pay and one cannot who would you save? Is this a false? By
Well, I mean it's: it's not a false binary in the sense it it's such a false binary, in the sense that typically, the doktor can only save one person and you wouldn't want to gauge that, based on the level of money they have like, let's eat, because you could see the left coming back. A variation on a binary in which they say. Ok, one pressing him. Hey one person cannot the person who can pay happens to be Hitler and the person who can happens to be Mahatma Gandhi, which one do you save Reggie? Let the money drive it. That's not really what the cases against government healthcare the case against government healthcare is unique There's a certain number of people who may or may not want to become doctors. You can either pay them forty thousand dollars to be worn, become doctors or you can have people by their services and they'll be paid a hundred fifty thousand dollars. What do you think is going to and more doctors or you have you- have a line of people and the doktor can spend a certain amount of time. Each patient how'd. You organised outline the organ that line by basic supply and demand or
organised that outlined by forcing the doctrine to care for a certain person for a certain amount of time and short changed everybody else, because the fact is that what the market does it mean when it comes to medical care? Very few people are really info in overpaying for medical care? Very few people are actually I want to spend an extra thousand dollars just to spend time with it. After most, people go into the doktor get an answer leaf and the way that you determine how time should be spent is through is through monetary transactions. Again, the end goal of that, in terms of from a moral point of view, would be to intensify the creation of new doctors and create the predominance of more service. Ok, so don't forget that Rotation. Streaming live right now on the daily wire website, the Ben Shapiro Facebook page and the daily, where you to channel, and you will be able to download it on sound cloud like a regular podcast. It's free for all of our fans to watch and listen, but only daily, whereas subscribers get two aspects. The questions. This is our second conversation. We ve done together in for those who didn't already pick it up. We are sitting in the bench Paris studio which conical this true just
your big, like oval office type desk out of the way and our sitting awkwardly couch. I now I don't know why they citizens out so weird to ask questions of gripe, says subscribe, to the daily wire and log into the website, then ask your questions in the common chat box, which we will answer in order that we received them. Our team was workin really hard to put them up here for bend answer as quickly as possible, also be sure to stay tuned for next month's conversation on Tuesday January sixteenth, for the fifth episode of the conversation starring our very own Andrew Craven, it's the best way to kick off the new year and he's lots of funds of lots of fun hosting that once again, sorry guys unless bends threat comes true and I'm not here next month, I will be hosting that episode of the conversation. Let's keep moving Robert says Ben a new subscriber Welcome Robert. What are your thoughts on Jordan, Peterson's theory of
legend as an expression of archetype of union architects are so so I think that his books mapped meeting is really infringing book. It's it's a little after eight thirds, it's very dense volume, young notion of the collective unconscious, in the common policy of humanity with regard religion. I think there is some truth to the idea that you see certain narratives that crop up in virtually every religion and there's some scientific basis to this than that. The human brain seeks a deity The human brain seeks got the notion that all religion is a reflection of union archetype. It seems to me that The problem there is that it sort of equates the value of each religion, and I don't think that's exactly right is religious person. I wouldn't be able to say that I think I'm a is equally valuable or equally grabbed. Otherwise I wouldn't be a Jew. I would just a devotee of all religion or is everyday okay of Jungian archetypes? More generally,
that maybe I hope I'm not some oversimplifying Jordan's work. Obviously, it's very sophisticated works and five hundred page book in the pages are all this big there. There is, but but the notion of religion acting out cheaper impulses and the human psyche? I think that's that's true. I agree with him there and I think, to evaluate, spend a lot of your career. Talking about the impact of religions have had on cultures, but sometimes I mean they did. The fact is that, as I say, my new book, some it's going to be on the impact of judeo Christian, he and its value system on western civilization. In fact, it may this argument said Harris when we resort of discussing slash debating the other night. They think that pod cast his coming out in a couple of weeks time. And what was it was really interesting. So one of the key conversations was exactly that's all I'm saying Samuel. Ought your entire world view your out your entire belief system? Is you know it's, both its atheists and its belief in a moral system, are outgrowth of the Judeo Christian found
Asian and hemmed didn't really want. I grabbed the point, but it's my opinion, pretty obvious that that's the case, because obviously his hierarchy of values- some of my hierarchy of values and we come from added from completely different religious point of use. That means that there is a culture that is inculcated a lot of the religious values that I hold dear and an impact SAM is well interesting for Eleanor. I, like the name terror. She says hayband, my question is very, open ended? Why does God exists climbing asking why God exists suggest that he sort of a creation of our imagination and God exists, because God exists, that's like saying why why a chair and other in so you know, you could say that the chair was created for the purpose of you to sit on the whole, we have got the God wasn't created, God, Pre existed so saying. Why does not exist, as is the big question is going to make more interesting. You take why, from a human perspective, must there be odd. Any answer to that is that without a God is very difficult to imagine the notions of choice, hierarchy of values free well, why reason
matter the notion of morality that that supersedes time and place. How do you get past the historicism of saying that every moral question is an outgrowth of the society of the era? You need it, you need it later, in order to in order to make it happen. Also, then this is another question. Ask me SAM regularly and he never really answered. In my opinion, I dont know how if you an atheist, you get to a moral system period. How'd you get from it is to an odd. It's like, I say why why God is like asking why a chair How are the only way to answer? Why should there be a chair there is by saying because there the creator of that chair and the creator of that chair intended for the chair to be sat upon, because this is why he quitted the chair this way- and this is, if you read aristotle- this is based. Golly, Aristotle's defence of the of natural law right natural law theories. All based on the notion that this this ancient greek notion that everything is created with a tell us that everything has a purpose and the way tat. You can divide the purposes by look
The thing itself, so human beings have a purpose too, and that is to use our reason in the greek idea. Well, if there's no creator, then, and was all career by chance than what purpose does him being have other, then we're just gonna walk round balls of meat that are defined I circumstance and genetics and we have no will of our own. We haven't palsied reason. Would you have a capacity reason reason? Is the higher brain function, but why is it superior brain function. No one can really explain that. I so You want to build a system it impossible to visit, build a system without the notion of purpose, and a purpose cannot exist without the notion of a God are moving along. Yakov is asking high ban besides the White Sox. Are you afraid of any other Chicago t. I'm embarrassed animals Blackhawks down. Although lesser so major baseball, then a minor football fan and indifferent hot
and although I do what I've been a hockey games, I wasn't find their great. I just I haven't spent the time to really get invested Yahoo. We spend our entire childhood invested in baseball. Getting getting invested in other sports is difficult and pick up a sport be look really investments Iliad it's one of the things that have fallen by the wayside the past few years. My following those words are used to subscribe. Sports illustrated actually really on top of it, and now my sport following is dropped dramatically. Unfortunate, is part of that because of here in this year of doping editor in chief of the daily. Why are you just annoyed with ESPN was in some boats? I stopped subscribing to sports, illustrated after every other issues about Caitlin Jenner, who has not been a theoretical irrelevance before I was born, and then the and obviously the political cycle takes way attention. Having kids takes way serious amount of attention and honest when it comes to baseball one of the sad things, Rooting for team like why talks is that the white acts only win the world series once every hundred years. They wanted in nineteen seventeen and then the next time they won. It was two thousand five and went in
after they won the world series. If you spend your entire life rooting for team to win the world Series, they finally won the world Series sorted, takes the charm out of it as a certain extent, because unless there no one every year like it isn't a yankee a Yankee scan whenever a Yankee stands complaint is shot up you one last it like oh wow associate for you has been five years since her team on my grandfather died without seeing the whites actual zippers did I've, but I highly doubt that codes fans would agree with you, though, that it's not worth it to see them I'll know it's seventy worthy to them. Women. I do wonder if it comes very, have the same sort of have the same sort of feeling. This becomes won the world series. It was like some Spence went out of, and now why but yeah exactly Bun Bunbury. I'm sorry if I miss brownings your name, but here she wants to know. Then how can we curb these surplus of power by the judiciary without the inevitable cries of Hitler? Is it even possible, within a populous, increasingly ignorant of basic civil, so
I think that judicial supremacy is a terrible idea. They did. The judiciary gets to be the final arbiter of everything I think is foolish, and I think it runs counter to the constitutional scheme in federal assembly. Seventy eight, it's it's Hamilton who talk specifically about the idea that, if the judiciary should start to exercise will instead of will instead of judgments that it would cease to have support its rationale for existing in the first place. All too often we see that happening with the judiciary. The real question that needs to be asked is: could you think should control the future? The country, elected officials or people in robes have been appointed and who have no relationship to the voter whatsoever. The judiciary is meant to be a track, but it wasn't meant to be the final say, and the idea that judicial supremacy should be the final say. I don't want Anthony Kennedy deciding the final say for me:
frankly rather have now suppose he is there something I can do by getting now suppose you out of office there's nothing. I can do about getting Anthony Kennedy out of Office and Rick is asking ban. Can a conservative laugh at liberal comedy like us now Chelsea handler Trevor, no etc, and still a grip disagree with all their politics without being a critical. I mean funny, it's funny. We absolutely. I think that you can definitely laugh at people who are on the left and in some of their comedy, is really talented. I do have a tough time laughing. When I know the premise of the of the joke is really false. Some of it is funny just because it's ridiculous and if you can of yourself from the political allegiance. Then you realize that
making funny and fund absolved from, for example, even Veratrum fan, is still pretty funny, which is loud, tell a joke about Trump, even though you know, maybe I'm exaggerating joke as a joke. But a lot of my favorite comedians are our folks on the left, like Louis UK, before his inevitable downfall was he some his routines are absolutely hysterical and I am sure we would disagree about virtually everything, political and- and I think it's interesting, because I find most time that conservative, like you and I are more willing to watch us an hour or two hundred essentially brave, levelling views and laugh at their. Stand up proteins and their performances, but people on the left or I'm gonna, throw that in an watch, a conservative that is definitely drew. Anybody who is remotely on the right will immediately be discouraged by the left, because two offensive in situ crazy. It insults the worldview and so, if they did they here's the thing when we laugh at the left doing the West's thing. It's because we understand that the wrong, but what they're doing itself on it when the left sees the right? What they see from us is. They believed that we are representative and evil worldview and if they laugh there now complicit in the evil
there must be a really sad and unfriendly way to live life. I think, honestly, like I get a lot of you, I get a lot of flak, for you know. You're, constantly ingredients, The truth. Is I'm a pretty happy, fellow just not publicly and not towards other people. Right won't my family, accepting my immediate family T J wants to know how bad you ever wonder. Why we're here? in this room to make money by me on that, but I think it means on earth and that's why on earth I mean who have always felt that we are here to fulfil certain godly duties and those duties are both discernible through human reason to a certain extent, and also and also discoverable revelation.
Or alleged persons. Also out of these problems, breathing unified irreligious. I think that the purpose of of of being here would be to use right reason is, is Aristotle would put it ok and we have next question right ago trend or alter these as much as possible? Don't forget only our daily wires. Subscribers are able to ask the questions, but anyone can be watching right now on the bench pair of Facebook, page on daily, where dot com in under Youtube Channel also you'll be able to download this later. Just like any other put podcast, the sound cloud actually had left a few people less and media the conversation together so that they listen to it on their drive home notion rush hour and about way VFW anywhere. So you can do that intended to friends. Jesse wants to say hi and will you ever tour Australia. I let you have a big following here and you will love the whether my understanding is that there are a couple of places that are looking this balance and me to come to us really, there's also a british tour in the works and, at some point will probably funereal trip as well, and I also think that we should do and episode of the conversation there. I'm just
I know I know it. I know you want us to drag you all over the place for over manner, not for free. Just I mean I've been Australia. I'd love to go back. I really like the people of Austria. It's great woman said. I think that you actually might like the people there, I, like the Australians that I know that the only question is whether to bring their the kids are not sixteen hour. Flight with children are actually think. So. Why hasn't? I went there for hunting one. I think it was seventeen hours from Ella X to Sydney yeah, and I want to have your old and he does not stop moving one. Have your boy boy one half year old girls, you as you ve, been calm, she'd been guy like even now. She wouldn t go along flashes, three and a half no problem. He is. He is just a ball of energy. He will not some of which one of your kids, you think we're like you, like personality wife, probably her he is very serious. I mean any. You know, you know my daughter, she's she's, she's, she's very sweet, but there s an undercurrent of contempt for the world. He added. I really appreciate about happy occasion and gives me the same
her father gives me a lover. She said with a look of scorn, the look of anti leaching office, it's a little scoring yeah. My son, I think, is probably more like my life he's disease very easy sweetie, but he's also very determined. Although I will say this, it's really funny. I think that both my kids have a real temper and they and I am fairly certain. It is not for me, it is literally the other? They went down the lagoon of each and my wife. We passed a parking spot and my wife did the thing that everyone hates where she got out of the uses pact. She got out of the car. She stood in the parking spot, these those wigand cars behind and some jerk. When prove was frankly, almost run her over and she gets back in the car and she's. An like really mad about it. During just going off my three and a half year old daughter than picks up the mommy's angry and starts going nuts about it for four hours every so often true, just
that guy took our parking spot. We found another parking spot as they sweetheart disciplines on use ones. Not on me here lies that from your genes, not Melians exactly right with celerity. Scarcely ever me, my wife she's, the sweetest pursues a little tiny sweet. Like super kind person right that opposite of here, but that's it that's exactly right away, but she's it, but she is is rarely and there is a there's, a fire. There is undercurrent of rage like that, so that those acquire ravish that comes out in this area, a killer, Romans Daniel says, Hey Ben Conservatives, agree that businesses should be able to choose who they serve or not. Sir, do you think the same principle applies to industries like hospital? Should they be able to discriminate? So my basic logic holds the same, meaning that, yes, you get to choose who to service and who not? Sir, is now that hasn't regional consequences when it comes to hospitals. But the truth is that when you read the hippocratic oath, one of the whole things about being a doctor is that you are immediately assuming a particular burden on legal burden, but this moral or new to eat me hard. The true that you'd be very hard pressed, define a lot of doctors
their historically or currently, who would legitimately turn away sick people because they don't like their face or something that goes against the hippocratic oath macerated sides needs now is not a failure so immediately. If, if it were to be a thing, then I'm then I am fairly sure another locked would be available. Who would move into the neighbourhood, but that doctor others know if you're misanthrope doktor, whose turning away large populations because you're just a piece of garbage sets than near. I think that you'd have a hard time, but that's again that is endemic to the profession of being a doctor that you're gonna take care of the person whose in front of you, so we have a question from a ban to a ban dear ban. What does the afterlife look like two worlds? Giant, she's, Ravioli and all you do? Is you just eat it all, but its invite? But what kind of sauce when ersatz edited by ended, but in any case there's one thing I miss about being slightly younger when my wife and I would literally get like two bags of ravioli like those sixteen peace frozen ravioli boil them and eat the entire thing. Those where that is in any case do that now
Oh yes, but I'll be fattened, but I shall have to care about death if I so the as far as what national influx of the jewish version when after life there's some debate on this I've always been a little bit skeptical of people who claim to have a very solid raid on the earth, the licence, no one that in our religion, known that we know of his really come back and talk about it. So the the basic idea of an actual life there I've heard is, is basically by forget it there's the Tommy
idea, which is you sit around, and you basically learn what God structure was for the world and gets deconstruct everything that happened like there's, you you're with their several levels of Heaven and your scholarship determines where he wore there's a lot of theirs LA details in the Talmud about people who have been talking over. You know what basically learning sitting round the morning seminary kind of ok, you're kind of, and then there is the new version of Heaven. That is a little bit more cabalistic in nature, which is that you are basically absorbed back into God. That guy granted, you divine spark when you die. The divine spark is reunited with God, whether you retain you retainer. You may retain your individual identity, but you are basically one with God at that point, and I find that a relatively compelling argument, considering that, once your body is gone and your soul,
so there that I don't think that use Walker. I haven't Heavens basically tonight we're version of earth, and I think that is probably difference in kind, not a difference in degree, but either way or open their cheese ravioli, but that their better me another IP address given kosher worth intimate land says how can you justify being against transgender people? If I believe bill statements, the only power I can force on someone is to protect others, even if it is for their own good. So the John Stuart Mill statement, if, if I'm getting to paraphrase correctly, was that you can only force on someone ability to preserve and protect themselves. As I think that to serve the United States, military is not chest. It's not a right as a privilege. And this is true for every military service in the history of man, if you're fat, if you're out of shape, if your injured, if you're crazy, you don't get to serve in the military. If you suffer from depression, you don't get servant military like there. Dual standards on joining the military. One of those standards seems to me these no other you're, a man or woman, and that the in that we should not have to be worked.
That, whether you're going to underline some sort of either surgical transition are significantly higher levels of depression and suicide reality in the military? That seems perfectly logical to me, but again I think the best people who are our position to make Sort of statements have people who are permanently serving the military are the people who actually serving on the front lines from what I can see from the poles of people in the military. They are very much against the idea of french gender troops in combat the generals. You are not in favour of social engineering via the military? Now I'm not sit there and in force military policy I think of what adjustments logical but again, Trencher wandering, the military are doing something that I wasn't willing to do. So
I can do is- is clap for their heroism. That said, that doesn't mean that I think the policy should be should be changed, that everyone who wants to join the military gets to join. The military has rightly drawn military, ok Tom said I then went to your opinion of Teresa may, especially with regard to the free speech in the UK, as well as bricks Y know, particularly opinion on for tourism may just be. They haven't. Washer closely enough with regard to bricks it I was in favour of bricks it. I think that the EU is an overbearing regulatory institution and very much for the annual Hannan in this region, as far as the free, strict restrictions in the streets free speech, restrictions in the UK, those are extraordinarily heavy and those should be relieved as soon as possible. If I were to say half the things that I say today in the United States in the UK there is always the possibility I could be brought up on some sort of charges because they they really crackdown on what they perceive to be quoted court hate speech, which is really just the government arbitrarily deciding what speech should be allowed. What speed should not credit is high Ben. I hear you mention your discussions about freewill versus determinism with your wife. What is your stance on that? I personally
leave and free well and could use some hebrew hammer points. But I saw I made a big advocate of the idea of as if or who I'm train member what they, what the formal term is free but you could choose other than you have chosen. I tell you, you could say can choose differently than you did. I said: there's a bunch of different versions of free. Well, there's their compatible s, notion of very well, which is sort of that determine Freewill are both there. I don't think. That's really logical: there is the Foreign SAM Harris version, which is the freewill doesn't exist, your ball of me wandering through the universe shameless way, and you don't really have the best Jeez for self. I there's freewill maximum list, which is that you're biology doesn't matter and there's my position, which is your biology matters and constrains what you are capable of choosing, but in the end you do have, to a certain extent the capacity to choose in that it what allows and make your life better and without that capacity to choose morality, breakdown of civilization, breaks down. How can we determine what is there there's no concept of bad
good that does not rely on the notion of personal responsibility. Personal responsibility cannot exist in world. We're not responsible front of your actions basically firing in your neurons is is responsible for all of your actions. Free will is not only a requirement for civilization. I think it is the truth, and I think that people like to call it an illusion and in I've asked us to people, including SAM they determined aside, which is so. Why are we sitting here when other than we ve? Just stay is forced to be her by circumstance. I guess matters will enjoy. What exactly? Well, what exactly compels people to come out with theater and watch while compels people to think about ideas? Why Israel, anything reason, is just another brain function. So why should we stop for reason are capable of changing anyone know? Why should you sit around all day? and when they say, and if they say well, it's a moral sit around I'll days. What, if you're biology tragedy, sit around I'll do it? I think that the human brain- let's say, for example, that determinist right. I think the human brain is incapable of comprehending its own demise,
his mind and remind the demise of individuality and reason. Ok, so I think were almost wrapping up. So you need to getting your questions now. You can do that by watching the streaming live on the daily, where website and eventually or Facebook page and the daily where'd you to channel and you'll, be able to download the conversation later on and sound lie out, just like any other podcast and listen to it over and over and over again, if you search with its free for all fans to Washington, listen, but only the daily, where subscribers git to ask the questions and ask questions subscribed to the daily wire and log into the website right now, then, you can ask your questions and comments, Chap Box, of which we will answer in order that we received them also once again be sure to state turn, because next month, I'll be sitting down on Tuesday January. Sixteen far, fifth episode of the conversation starring Andrew Craven, it's the best way to kick off the new year
You know all the holiday parties are done, maybe you're having to get back to the german diet in Europe. Both this is awful tune and watch Andrew World it'll. Definitely cheer you up. A casual in, for example, has United pulls now. Barely ok is our Europe over and I was really bored with. I was bored with you and not only border dip. This is high Ben. I am a religious southern Baptists and I wanted to know the reasoning behind practicing kosher eating standards and what they are obvious: Textual reason is that a lot of it is right there in the text of women s residence, I sweat nodded in shellfish when it talks about not eating meat, milk. Together. What are really says this? Don't you two candidates? Mother's milk? All of these things are directly from the text of the Bible. The basic logic to them is very often about separation. So Judaism is very much about. It is about Katyusha case. It does a route in Hebrew. Little bit, hebrew lingo for your eye is, is it's cool dowered Chin and what it means is separation, so its use for wedding. So when you are when you are Mikado someone when you have collusion, that's a wedding so that separates your life when you are seeing all from the time after
you are sanctifying the Friday night meal, you do kurdish rights en route of the word and that's to sanctify the meals a great deal from all the other meals in separate Sabbath from weekdays. Ok, what is so did. The same thing is true for kosher. They cash route is all about the idea of separating the clean from the unclean separating the the pure from the impure and so, for example, the separation between meat milk is all about the idea that milk represents life and meet represents death and you shouldn't mix the two, because that does not exist in life. Nor does really life exists enough, the idea being that these are two separate things and you should keep them separate. So Judaism is very much about that and then you know I'm back of that. There's some practical concerns. The people now obviously bring up. They weren't relevant. Morally there there's all people say: well, you don't eat pig because of tritium arises in this kind of thing, and maybe that was the case, but God doesn't say so: I'm not going to attribute scientific rationales to God. Where doesn't try to make them himself. I'm just said you can't have bacon. I keep hearing this. I keep hearing this feed pagans pretty good, but now I say
Can it be bigger? You tat, you had the candied, we ve taken alike loud and all over her. No, I know I really have to buy his gotcha yea. You are giving me a Christmas gift after all and its fake. Thank God only knows asking a ban. What do you think about the peace deal between the efficacy and the colombian government? I ll I live in, I'm stuck in Colombia and it feels like we will turn into a veil of Venezuela anytime, so I'm going plead ignorance on this, but I do not know too much about the current situation in Colombia. I do know that FARC subaltern communist insurgents, who I've been wiped off the map, long thou and any peace deal with a terrorist group usually ends badly for the government in power. So I, though, those member online thoughts, but again I want A little more. To give you a more specific answer. I we help further. It seems like all of Central America. Guatemala
Colombia idea did my master. I know it's not good to know it is not an onion. We it's one of the reasons why the illegal immigration problems such problem, guided to peddle are literally fleeing from countries that are halls and setting their children, our yeah. That was done, something that we saw here lots Angela specifically in southern California. Couple years ago we were sending their children over and then they are having to sit up. These camps like in the middle of San, Diego counting yeah, and they weren't just people that I think it was assumed that the elder all mexican immigrants, but they weren't Noah, here huge percentage of immigrants in our coming from central in Latin America, not directly from Mexico. Ok, don't forget if you are a subscriber login and you can ask us questions and hallowed all the people watching on Facebook. But if you're commenting in the comments it you're trying to ask questions, they haven't been asked it's because you're not asking the right way, because you need to become a subscriber and go to the day. The word our common and your questions in the tropics, okey, dokey so age. I says hayband a friend of mine came to me because he was having trouble with an assignment for class. The assignment was to create has on terrorist group what they
this in school now is there any advice you could give to my friend? Yes, so what he should do is he should declare a terrorist group and in terrorist group should be based on certain fundamental principles that should be based on low taxation. Not importation of tea and various other antigovernment activities, but the only government you should be fine We opposing is a foreign dominated government from overseas that refuses to accelerate representation for such taxation. Ok, that's innocent. Like an awesome terrorist group of Agnes start one. We also try cornered hats and we'd have really cool codes in Everything we do pray. I would be better writers and current terrorists. It baby, I think, that's pretty a terrorist group and, depending on the professor, he might actually think that that and dangerous guarantee earth. Are you? What are you some tea party? I should like the original ones. Alexey says: hey banned. You think there is any hope for the Russian Federation. It really seems that every year moves closer into a third world dictate I mean it. Nearly real hope is is for there is a real nostalgic has been built up in Russia around the idea that Russia was a world power.
Soviet Union was a world power. It was still a hell hole and there is this tremendous misimpression. I think that was created there. There's a fantastic work have recommended it on the show before, and its name eludes me for a moment, one that he won. The pilots are prize a few years ago, but basically its retelling of all these eggs. The people have had in Russia from the beginning of communist until now only sends a real nostalgia among a lot of Russians. For a time when Russia was world power and when, when the Soviet Union collapsed, there is a belief that this that Russia was gonna turn into America overnight basically was gonna go because it was a world power and then the government that was bending over the military collapsed. They. Now everything was in a flip, a switch and were world power, and we still be a world power. Instead, Russia turn into a second rate power and the and the desire to be seen again as a force in world. History continues to be very strong in Russia and that's enabled a lot of bad people like Vladimir Putin, who is constantly trying to demonstrate to the public that he is exacerbated, that he is increasing russian power in the world.
Once that ends one people begin to to realise that the world status matters a hell of a lot less than whether you can take care of her family and becomes a widespread believe, then that there are also there's just no rule of law in Russia in their action needs to be a government. The comes in and breaks the oligarchy at the top and that there are a lot of mistakes are made in the nineties. Nearly two, thousands with regard to the government, basically taking what was left over, that whatever ass it were left over and redistributing them to critical private industry or religious friends. The government guy Jared is in Phoenix, I'm guessing and he says: hey Ben I'm waiting for marriage before I have sex. How do I find a girl that does not want to have. How do I find a girl that does not only want to have sex I'm in college? Ok. So, first of all, I think that that end bark is like really sad that it's a no man's land issue for us. So, first of all good for you Jared, I have not found it to be the case that that women in college are desperate for sex. I think this is a male fantasy that that women are constantly desperate for sites all the time
the oil that Rogan govern movies right, I mean, if only it we're so says, has every man ever separate anyway. The idea that women are desperately looking for sex in the same way, the guys, I don't think it's true- our finding a girl who is it? Who is not looking to have sex before marriage go to church? I mean I honestly like I'll go to a place where people agree with you ideologically in terms of virtue. That's the best place to start. These are questions that my wife analogy merely ask each other and our first date to me. We member ask my wife: if she, if she was a virgin, you didn't see and ask me the ten questions, feminists, the notion, another Giacomo wrote about no injury, and she asked me whether I was version like these were important things to both of us and because these are important- and it was an important because I hold some sort of outsize value with regard region
the reason that it is important to me is because what they said is that sex was supposed to be inherently connected with a deeper relationship that relationship of marriage and that she took seriously. She took commitments seriously and she took intimacy seriously, not because I think that once you have sex or solid or something like that, I don't think that's right, ok, Ryan Thomson says high ban. I was raises a reformed you, but I'm into interested in exploring other sex of Judea them such as conservatives, orthodox should I consider and exploring these other sack limit. I think, first of all, if you are, if you are a reformed you, then you probably have not had a lot of experience with the Bible, its health, you probably not have had a lot of experience that you take thought a lot informed Judaism is based around social justice, warrior it if you want to start with the good books to read that are illiterate and interesting. That orthodox stratagem, I think Jonathan sacks is quite good idea. Capitalist.
They, both of them are orthodox rabbis intake secularism very seriously. Aria Kaplan was a rocket scientist. Jonathan taxes, the chief rabbi of Israel of up or Great Britain, was for well, and you know, starting with it, adheres to the Bible, as this is the first thing, but you so read the Bible and then re commentaries on the Bible, because the fact is that one of the strong and that's been built up is that everyone who is a bible believer, takes every word of the Bible, absolutely really, I know virtually no one in the orthodox community takes every word of the Bible, honour percent, literally because if you did and dubious adequacy not affair is ready for it to take the old distinction that I think is, is actually miss aligned and then in the new testament. The reality is that fair, cynical duties and adjust rabbinic studies and analyses or folks who tried to take the Bible is literally as possible, and you end up in some pretty weird places. If you do that, Robert says Ban, what evidence do you have that the four market, will be able to provide affordable, good health care for those on minimum wage. All the evidence shows that every other products that has ever been provided in the history of man
more affordable and a free market and healthcare should not be an exception to that rule. The only thing that how health insurance is not going to be necessarily more affordable, but health care will be more affordable so that there is a difference. Health insurance is about ensuring against future loss if you're already SEC, I'm not ensuring you against future loss and paying you to be sick. That's not the same thing when it comes to health care itself the prices will go down in every area of healthcare when there is open competition in full transparency and DEC happened in a fully privatized market. The case in point of this would be laser. I surgery ways reiser he's not ensured the cost of laser eye forty thousand dollars night about five thousand four thousand dollars, and I it's widely available and on demand. The reason for that is because the free market system- I haven't done any of these things, neither private, but I mean like things like Botox, plastic surgery element where young, yet are often that I now for might for my fortieth, maybe exactly half NASA
running through the ban, do you have any advice for a young lawyer looking to transition into political commentary, writing sounds like gonna wanna make transition that you. May I thought you would have some uniquely good insight on this and I love the showcasing. So the answer is right for free, so everybody wants we paid up front, everybody wants to make a living up front. How did we come paid columnist repaid on it? And the answer? Is you don't you start operating for free, pretty much everyone whose written for us has started off as on a trial basis? Writing for us either for free or for a kind of a day wages we pay people while they try out, you need to actually get a foot in the door. Is there anything else you gonna apprentice, anyplace ye have to have an apprenticeship. You don't just jump in full. Fledged known takes her opinion seriously. Unless you spend a lot of time, the miners, it's really funny because you know, thank God. I think that my exposure has increased free radically since two thousand twelve,
we first I working together, but before two thousand, while I was working in this business since two thousand and three cap, so I mean it is so everyone privilege everyone. The conservative commentariat, who is a success, became an overnight success after fifteen years of hard work being nothing in the industry. I think that's that fairly, across all industries rip you laboring laboring, elaborate, then suddenly a breakthrough friends like where did they come from Brady's after you ve been there all the law and the answer is reading books for a decade etheric, that's where I was that's. Why you're so smart? Well, I'm few minutes less organism, trailer role through all these as quickly as possible. You mention on money that the kid that was being bullied should beat up bullies. You also mentioned not punching people. Can you explain the difference is that only if it is,
Oh, yes, only this physical bullying, so they will call you names if their meaning, you don't it's push them and somebody punch. You should be the living a lot of guys they there. That is my considered, take the issue. It is good to growth are skinned, people can be nasty and cutting horrible, but there is a difference in kind between speaking nationally about somebody and physically hitting them. I know the difference. Both of happened to me and it is imperative that you know the difference, because otherwise no one will be long enough to get in trouble one, sometimes it's hard because I'm you obviously word the chief receiver of awful threats and suffering twenty sixteen elections. I know- and sometimes it's yes, if those are technically verbal assaults. But at what point should you.
Legitimately afraid that they could become worse? I mean when that when there's an open threat of violence from slightly different thing, instead, people take it definitely ruins the difference between saying something made. An actual us all right, adult illegally speaking assault is a threat of violence, are credible threat of violence. So if I were to like Sweden, my fist at your face and and stop and in short, that's an assault power to let a hate you that view battery right, he will mix these two terms up, but the same thing is true: with regard to a death threat, if some reasons may threatening I'm coming your house at three p m to kill you or I'm gonna kill you then that's an actual assault. It's not it's! Not it's free speech steadily! then says Haven. I love the show. How can we address equal opportunities for black men s, father figures when they suffer job application? Disparities show the evidence on job application, disparities that actually relatively scant. There have been a couple of studies that men don once just that when you submit your name and the name is the quantity or something people identifies cultural
black than you are less likely to get a job, but there's another study that basically suggests that black and white have nothing to do with it. It has to do with the culture who writes a zone. De quantity is gonna, get a job application approve far less often, then Brian Johnson, if brine, Johnson's a black eye, even if its brain, Jefferson, Jefferson's, typically black name in the United States, so that the reason for that is that
interviewers are going to seek any information they care about you. This holds true by the way in every community right if there's a difference, but if I were to call myself in Yemen is apposite Benjamin. I get a different class of people who look at me where this is just a fact like people, people treat other differently based on their names because they try to learn culture from names, but you can only do that just from a last name per se as far as job disparity that thing that that job disparity really does not occur at the middle and upper class, it doesn't even occur in the lower class for people who are applying for job for which they are qualified.

If you lose the house and twenty eighteen, I think you could see him tat significantly to the left. Attempt to work with Democrats, but only a democratic willing to work with him. If not, you can see intact the right. One of the reasons he's moved to the right because he feels is only basin. Support is with the right, and so that being the case and being deleted by everyone else, and only supported by people on the right has been trying please base. So that's good.

see that's a good thing, but he's indeed, whenever some people in the middle of number one hopes when reelection a number to it, he hopes actually pass any major legislation beyond what has always sought to give me for Republicans of Exact Scot, I can't believe this was an aspect. What do you think our taxes are of holding the house in twenty eight knock out put it. It may be thirty percent right now, and I had only it's like thirty or forty percent in the lock and happens.
