So, you know, in New York, we have the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, and we have, you know, anti-Semitic incidents here on a regular basis. Most of them are done by emotionally disturbed people. You know, they paint swat stickers and they do this stuff. Those people are not sane, and they should be pitied, and they should also be prosecuted if the police find them. them which they really do. So it struck me that how do you deal with people like that? In your life, I know you know people who are irrational. All right, that's where we start. They're not logical

thinkers, but there's a huge scale of irrationality. Some people are just what I call dopey, dopy people. All right, they say dumb things. They don't know very much. They don't care to know very much. They never paid attention in school. They lived their lives in a very limited fashion. When I go into anybody's home for the first time, what do I look for? I look to see how the home is kept, whether it's dirty or need, and then I look to see if there are any books in the home. I can't tell you how many homes I've been in. There has not been a single book in a house. Now, I'm not a snooty guy. I don't say a word. I am a little judgmental, and that is a problem for me, being a Christian.

I'm not supposed to be that judgmental. But I got to tell you, I go into a house, and there's no books in the house, I kind of know what I'm dealing with here, right? No frame of reference, don't really care, watching the stupid boob tube, the bachelor or survivor or naked people, whatever they're watching. Okay. How do you deal with them? Are you super sillious? Word of the day? That means arrogant. No, that would be foolish to do that. So I'm neutral to those two people. I don't hang with them because why would I? I'm

bored. I want people who know stuff. So we can have interesting discussions. I want to ask questions about where they've been, what they do, how they think. And if they have no opinions on anything, why I wouldn't want to hang with them. So I basically am neutral on that. Then a step up are the people who believe what they want to believe, which is a tenant of this program, and no matter what you present, they are not going to change your opinion. Like, Joe Biden's a good president. Oh, no, he's not.

And here are the reasons he's not. And I can give you 25, but they don't care. They don't care. So you know, well, what about the open border? Well, what about this unbelievable inflation on necessity? You know, under Trump, it was 1.4%. Now, it's like 10 times that. So what do you do with them?

I keep it light. I just joke around, all right? But again, probably not going to hang with those people. Then you go into the third class of irrationality, which is narcissism. And now you're in a danger zone, because those people will hurt you, particularly if they feel that you don't buy into the fact that they're the greatest thing on the planet. Because that's what a narcissist is. I'm the greatest thing. Look it up on Google.

All right? Look up narcissism and the origins of it. Almost every destructive leader the world has ever seen has been a narcissist. Now, how can you tell a narcissist? They will never admit they are wrong, ever about anything. You know them. You know people like that. Run.

So the conversation you are having now is about your self-protection. Don't waste your time on people who don't know anything. Be nice. They need some help, and they're a neighbor. Sure, help them out. but don't waste a lot of time. And then if you see a person is destructive and they're not rational, so they hate Jews or blacks, they hate them, go, run, don't associate with them.

Don't argue with them. Just get out.
