1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,600
I want to go over some of the 
people who have intellectual Lee

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,300
inspired you. 
So, what is the most important 

3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,400
thing you learned from The Works
of or just knowing Jordan 

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,300
Pederson? 
Tell the truth. 

5
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,200
Tell the truth. 
I mean, there's just no doubt 

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,600
about it. 
Tell the truth. 

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,000
And if you say something that is
true, you have no idea how that 

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,400
can affect the world. 
And I got to see the guy do it 

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,200
on a day-to-day basis. 
I got to travel with the leading

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,700
public intellectual of the 
world. 

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,400
Watch him, tell the truth and 
and see the way that change the 

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,800
world. 
It was, it was remarkable. 

13
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:37,600
But what about the utilitarian 
result of? 

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,400
I might lose my friends. 
My family who once loved me 

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,900
might now look down on me. 
Why should I still tell the 

16
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,400
truth? 
Because if you do not tell the 

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,000
truth in service to keeping the 
illusion that you have, all of 

18
00:00:51,008 --> 00:00:53,200
these people in your life who 
accept you, because you're not 

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,100
being the real, you eventually 
that will destroy you, that will

20
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:58,700
destroy you. 
That's not to say that it when 

21
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,900
you tell the truth about 
Certainly going to be Shangri-La

22
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,200
and you know, popping open the 
champagne because it's going to 

23
00:01:05,208 --> 00:01:06,900
come with some pain. 
Of course. 

24
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:07,900
It's going to come with some 
pain. 

25
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:12,900
But if anything if anything was 
was easy, then it wouldn't be 

26
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:14,300
the right. 
Like if anything was easy. 

27
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:16,300
Everyone would do it, right. 
We all know that when something 

28
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,600
is tough, when you got to stand 
for your own thing and slog 

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,700
through the machine, then most 
likely you're going to get out 

30
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,500
better on the other side. 
I've never seen someone tell the

31
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,100
truth and live the truth and 
fight for truth and regret it 

32
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,700
even people when Bad things 
happen to them because of it and

33
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,800
bad things do happen to people 
who tell the truth. 

34
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,400
I don't think most people 
regret. 

35
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,200
It most important thing you 
learned from The Works of Ben 

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,100
Shapiro, facts, don't care about
your feelings. 

37
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,200
I mean, there's a reason that 
that line caught on with Ben and

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,800
I think it's true Ben is Ben, is
a fact machine and he's incisive

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,300
and witty and quick and he talks
fast and the whole thing, but I 

40
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:59,000
think that that the reason that 
phrase caught fire was because 

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
it wasn't just the alliteration.
It was just that facts, don't 

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
care about your feelings. 
Got that we live in a world. 

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,400
We live in a real world. 
And then there's you, there's 

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,400
your feelings about the world 
and you got to figure out a way 

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
to put those things together. 
And way too many people think 

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,100
that this world, the world of 
their feelings is the real 

47
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,400
world. 
We're in fact, a fact-based 

48
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,800
world, is the real world, and 
then how you react to it is. 

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,800
What defines you most important 
thing you learned from The Works

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,800
of Thomas soul. 
Our know your stuff know your 

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,300
stuff. 
I mean this guy is a true genius

52
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,600
when it comes to libertarian 
economics. 

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,300
He has he has stood his ground. 
He is, you know, the things that

54
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:43,300
that I talked about. 
Now, this guy was talking about 

55
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:46,500
50 years ago in writing books 
about and has debated, you know,

56
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:51,200
all of the brilliant people 
across the board Every Which Way

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,200
and some people that are not. 
So brilliant. 

58
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,300
Say the more socialist 
Economist, but he's debated 

59
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,900
plenty of people. 
Know your stuff sit down in a 

60
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,700
conversation ready to be armed 
with facts. 

61
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,200
Well, what does the welfare 
state do? 

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,200
What does high taxation do? 
What does high regulation do? 

63
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,800
And if you can sit down with 
people knowing your stuff, but 

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,100
you won't be hysterical. 
Part of the reason, the lefties 

65
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,000
generally are so is terrible is 
because they don't know their 

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,500
stuff. 
So they over Liam oat to 

67
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,500
compensate for that. 
Most important thing you learned

68
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:27,900
from The Works of Dennis Prager.
Love and adore and admire 

69
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,000
Western Civilization. 
I think that's Dennis is 

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,500
greatest contribution. 
He's written many books about 

71
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:34,800
it. 
I think I've got one of them 

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,300
right over there. 
He has shown me, and shown quite

73
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,400
literally millions of people 
over the course of the last 

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,700
couple decades on the radio. 
And now it's Prager you that the

75
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,600
American experiment as he calls 
it is the is the greatest human 

76
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,300
experiment we've ever done. 
We've done it so brilliantly for

77
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,600
250 years. 
Expanding more freedom to more 

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,900
people and if you feel like it's
in a precarious position at the 

79
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,300
moment. 
Well, you're right, because it 

80
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:04,800
is in a precarious position and 
you got to keep fighting for it.

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,100
And I think too many people have
stopped fighting for it. 

82
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:14,800
Most important thing you learned
from Ayaan hirsi Ali, I was 

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,500
going to say bravery, but I'll 
say something else. 

84
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:22,000
Grace Grace, I on who I've 
gotten to know quite well off 

85
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,700
camera as well. 
And I've interviewed her a bunch

86
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:25,900
of times. 
It's not just that she's Brave. 

87
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,100
It's not just that she's stood 
up to islamists and now stands 

88
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,900
up to marxists. 
And it's not just her life story

89
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:36,300
of leaving Somalia and the 
arranged marriage and female 

90
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:39,500
genital mutilation. 
It's that after all of that. 

91
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,600
Yeah. 
She's Brave. 

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,200
No doubt about it, but she's 
graceful, she's decent. 

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,600
Is fun, there's a light in her 
and a lot of people I think that

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,000
light would have been 
extinguished. 

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,200
But she found something that 
allowed her to continue doing it

96
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,000
in a decent way. 
That's graceful. 

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,900
That's beautiful. 
Christina Hoff Sommers. 

98
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,500
Oh, well that first-wave 
feminism is way better than 

99
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,500
third wave feminism. 
Christina fights for a feminism 

100
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:08,200
that of course, most of us would
believe in a feminism of 

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,100
equality, an equality of 
opportunity. 

102
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,300
So that women should have the 
opportunity to do whatever they 

103
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,700
want. 
Not an equality of equity where 

104
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:18,500
women should basically be forced
to do things. 

105
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,300
There are fundamental 
differences between men and 

106
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,100
women women generally, like 
people more men generally like 

107
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:28,600
things more thus men and women 
choose different careers. 

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,500
Women can Children men cannot 
there are differences and we 

109
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,500
should embrace those differences
and just fight so that each 

110
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:41,300
person is equal under the law, 
not forced into living any life 

111
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:43,600
that they don't want to live, 
which ironically is the people. 

112
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,100
The people who are telling you 
they're freeing you. 

113
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:46,900
They're actually forcing you 
into servitude. 

114
00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:49,400
It's a quite incredible. 
Peter teal. 

115
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,000
Think differently. 
I become very close with Peter. 

116
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,500
I hold him in the highest regard
because he's a nice guy. 

117
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,900
Okay, he's a brilliant Tech Guy.
Okay, but there's something 

118
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:07,700
else, it's that he dare dares to
choose to think differently in a

119
00:06:07,707 --> 00:06:09,900
go against the grain. 
You know, we all think that we 

120
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,400
do that, right? 
Oh, I won't go with the mob all 

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,300
think differently. 
I must do things. 

122
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,500
I'll be whatever off, beaten, 
whatever. 

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,300
And he's a bit of a quirky 
character, but he really does. 

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,000
And by thinking differently, I 
think that is what has allowed 

125
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,400
him to stay ahead of things. 
So, you know, Peter teal left 

126
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,800
San Francisco. 
Everyone knew San Francisco was 

127
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,900
crumbling under leftist policies
in Silicon Valley was crumbling.

128
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:34,500
Well, he didn't just leave 
himself. 

129
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:39,900
He took his entire company and 
left and that tells you, wow, 

130
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:42,300
bye-bye. 
Seeing the road in front of you,

131
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,000
but looking at it a little bit 
differently, you can make moves 

132
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,800
to the Future. 
That'll be a lot clearer and I 

133
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,300
have no doubt that he will 
continue to make such move. 

134
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Who's finally Tulsi gabbard 
Tulsi is a new one for me 

135
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,500
because we've become friends, 
really in the last year and I 

136
00:06:58,508 --> 00:07:00,800
interviewed her during the 
presidential campaign. 

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,500
And just this morning she was on
my show and we were announcing 

138
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,800
that she's joining. 
My tech company locals Tulsi, 

139
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,500
Das local.com Tulsi. 
How about how about tolerance 

140
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,000
with Tulsi because she is she's 
not just saying it, you know, 

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,900
everybody says tolerance. 
We need to be more tolerant to 

142
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:20,300
Tulsi means it. 
She really wants to embrace. 

143
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,700
A spirit that would allow us to 
live in society with people who 

144
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:25,200
are very, very different than 
us. 

145
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:28,300
And I think the saddest thing 
for the state of the democratic 

146
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:31,700
party, and there's so many sad 
and whirring things within that 

147
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:33,600
party. 
Right now, the saddest thing is 

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,800
that Joe Biden or whoever is in 
charge. 

149
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,500
It's probably not Joe Biden, but
whoever is in charge that they 

150
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:44,600
chose Kamala Harris. 
Instead of Tulsi gabbard is 

151
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400
really unfortunate because there
was a moment where they could 

152
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
have said, Hey, Joe is what he 
is. 

153
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,300
But now, we're going to choose 
somebody who's a true healer who

154
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,100
has some principles that are 
thought of as a little more 

155
00:07:58,100 --> 00:07:59,900
left. 
But certainly has some 

156
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:01,800
principles that are thought of 
as a little more, right? 

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,400
And really could have been a
