I know this life meant for me. Yeah, why would you plan on the life when we got that day? Value payment, giving values, contagious, this world, I'm on your panoras. We can't no value to hate. It's how they run, homie. Look what I've become. I'm the one. You have to be, you just have to know at the email

to see it says, add Instagram if not at this fraud. Anyways, hey, it's good to, uh, have you guys here with us on this podcast, this special podcast with somebody that is making a major impact around the world with her story, uh, a timely story for many of us in America who need to hear this story, who don't think your freedoms can be taken away from you. Last time her and I got together and we sat down and spoke with a few years ago, the amount

of interest in the story and what happened with it was unbelievable. And her first book was a major bestseller and she's got a new one that's coming out called While Time Remains, a North Korean defector search for freedom in America to one and only Yummy Park. How are you? Thank you for having me on the bus. Vinnie's very happy to be sitting next to you. I don't want to sit on the bus.

Vinnie's been asking about this. And there was a fight and then Vinnie said, I have to sit next to her, but so you know. I don't want to sit on the bed. He's been asking about this. Yeah. And there was a fight. And then Vinnie said, I have to sit next, but we're very happy to have you here. Oh, thank you. Thank you for welcoming me. So, you know, there's a lot of things we'll cover today. Some people don't know your story.

We have some stories you that we want to talk about. Something happened in Russia that hasn't happened since the 70s. Something Russia did that they haven't done since the 70s, which is pretty wild. It has to do with preparation for a big war, a World War III type of war, especially after Biden visited Ukraine this last week

instead of going to East Palestine. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about some of the things that's going on with Don LaMont. How do you say it's a last name? Don LaMont. Don LaMont. One man.

We'll talk about him. Killin' it. DeSantis and Trump going back and forth, the name calling, and at the same time, DeSantis doing his part. I'd like to get your thoughts on that with Woke agenda, what's going on with schools. I got a couple videos I want to show you

to get your reaction on that. And then Tom's got some stories on Disney that he wants to comment on. Elon Musk declares cancel culture over since Twitter takeover. He says, you won't be missed. I'm curious to know if you agree with Elon whether cancel culture is over or not. And then a couple other fun stories.

One Tiger Woods, I don't know if you know what Tiger Woods did this last week. Did you hear about the story or no? Have you heard about what he did to one of his competitors? You have to hear the story to know to get your reaction on it anyways having said that yummy if you don't mind Last time we spoke a lot about your story Yeah, and the audience knows your story But some of the people that are new audiences that are with us that may not know your story

Would you mind taking a minute and sharing your background with the audience? Yeah, it's a weird way to even begin. I was born in North Korea and not knowing that I was born in a most oppressed country. I think that's how I tell Americans when they say they are oppressed. Like if you know you're oppressed, you're not oppressed. Like, not knowing is the definition of oppression. I believe I was living in the best country on earth. It was a social paradise. And I had this thing, a song called

Nothing to Envy, because we were living a social paradise. So I think with that, just have no idea what was going on in the world, when I was 13 years old, I just have no idea what was going on in the world when I was 13 years old. I just couldn't simply find any more food. So that led me to escape to China. Then, of course, in the Gulf of the Desert, into Mongolia after two years, then go to South Korea. And then, five years after I came to America. All while you're how old? It was from me 13 to 15. I was crossing a desert and then come to America

when I was 21 years old. That's unbelievable. You know, when people hear a story like that, how often you tell me when you tell your story, people almost don't believe it. They think it's like you're just telling a story. There's no way that story is real. Yesterday I posted a picture of me in the military

and I posted a couple of pictures in the army and I'll get messages people say That picture doesn't look like you. That's not you and I'll say I was born and raised in Iran and you know Here's what Iran was like when we're getting bombed. There's no way that's true You're just telling a story out of our goal. How often do you hear people say? You know, you know, you can't tell me was that bad So in some sense, I think I got lucky because a... I mean, remember when Americans tourist all the one beer from the Virginia Tech University, he went to North Korea and then he was sent in stuff for hard labor for 15 years for stealing a banner. And then they tortured him and they

re-orange his like, or teeth. And then he came out of the vegetable state that Trump's like, falling back. So I think Americans understood like, if that's what they do to American white men, I mean, they can't even imagine what they would do to their own people. So I think when it comes North Korean issue, at least still the between Democrats and the Republicans understand the complete black. Nobody argues it's a long way. But the how they want to approach solve the problem is different.

So then, for some, again, the question, why are you so optimistic, though? When I see you and I met you, we went to lunch afterwards. You had very nice things to say about Adam. You thought Adam was part of the LGBTQ community. I don't know if you remember this or not. Oh yeah, I didn't know this. But you get it, right?

Oh, that was her. That was her? She asked Adam if Adam's gay. That's hilarious. She said, you said you're very nice and you dress well. So you must be gay. I was like, I will show you who's not gay right now. You know what I mean?

There's anything wrong with that. English, but we are friends. We're good. But you're always optimistic, your personality, you seem like you have the attitude of future looks bright. But then at the same time, you have the perspective you present of, hey, let's stay paranoid, because we don't know what could happen here

even in America. How do you balance that level of optimism with the life that you've lived and have a little bit of paranoia to say we got to keep fighting for this freedom? Yeah, I think in general I'm an optimist. I think there are only just over 200 defectors made it America over the last 80 years. Say that one part again? Over the last 80 years, only 209 nursing defectors made a man. Over the last 80 years, 209 made it to a man. That's intense. Yeah.

And I'm one of them. Wow. That's right. And they made it pretty hard. I mean, it's now it's almost impossible. And you can ice skate. Like they set up landmines and electric fence and like, it's made it.

Yeah. It's impossible to get off. That was actually my question for you on me. The escape process. I know we have a lot of stuff we wanna get through today, but just the escape process when you did it, how difficult was just that component of it and how much more difficult would it be now?

So my time was like every 10 meters with the actual human guard, with the machine gun standing there. Every 10 meters it was a human guard. But now, actually China gave them the technology of the facial recognition camera everywhere, on Chinese side and North Korean side, both. They put the electrified wire fences and they buried the land mines to clear its own people. And then they put the people people away from the border towns. Okay.

So now it's literally impossible. Literally what, one's the last time someone escapes. Like I don't know. Kim Jong-un said, don't even let one single ant cross between borders. Wow. And when you escape,

you said there was a soldier every 10 meters. So I assume you did it in the dark. How did you disguise yourself? How did you go under the radar, so to speak? So the reason how I didn't get shot was the people were helping me, the traffickers. They were selling us to human traffickers in China. So they drive the guard.

But the problem was they're every 10 meters. You cannot drive all of them. It's too expensive. So they drive the one guard and that post. So we could always shot from other posts. So that's why it's too expensive. So they grabbed one guard and that post. So we could always share from other posts. So that's why it was very dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. This, by the way, if you haven't watched the entire episode that her and I went through, the story is a lot darker and deeper than we have to get into today because there's so many things that's happened

from the last time we spoke to today that I wanna get your opinions on what's going on with current events. I think that's very important for us to cover. And then obviously we'll put the link below for the audience to get as well. So let's go to the first story. The first story I saw with Elon Musk that came out

and he said, Elon Musk declares cancel culture is over since Twitter take over and That's one of the things you speak out about a lot and here's what he said. Let me just read this story to you Elon the CEO of Twitter recently declared that cancel culture is over just months after his take over the social media company He made the comment on Tuesday following an exchange between journalist Matt Haibi and Joe Rogan on Rogan's podcast, Joe Rogan shared on the podcast that people aren't scared to speak their mind on Twitter. And you're seeing so much pushbacks and musks acquisition, they're not worried about losing their account,

which they were before Rogan added Haibi, who helped publish some of Musk's Twitter files, said I hope people are feeling encouraged to say more now when Musk bought Twitter in October of 2022 for $44 billion, he promised to protect free speech on the platform, saying that Twitter is a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.

Musk had previously declared that cancel culture needs to be canceled and he's saying now, it's officially canceled. Do you think cancel culture is officially canceled? As a moment of yesterday, I guess. Yeah. As a right now, do you think right now people, the whole concept of worrying about getting your channel shut down or your YouTube or your Twitter account taken away from your Facebook, you know, now that Trump got Twitter back,

he got Facebook back, he got all of these accounts back, do you think the days of being afraid of speaking out or behind us? That's interesting because my poster shows as a sensitive post to a lot of my followers. On Twitter or on Twitter? Yeah, on Twitter. Yeah, on Twitter, yeah.

Yeah, so even till this morning, someone was like, why can't I see her post? So it's a real comments like it. You guys don't get that. No, no, you're talking about shadow banning. Yeah. I mean, you post and it's a sensitive material. Of course. Yeah. On Twitter. Yeah. On Facebook. Absolutely. I don't see it on Twitter. Let me get your tweets. So my followers keep saying that, like, why can't I see this post? So, like, I think maybe at least 30% of the stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, it's fun. Because I posted something on Instagram and then a bunch of people, and had nothing to do with COVID, but it kept putting this, the COVID warning. How recent was that? This was about a week, we can have a couple. And it was absolutely nothing about COVID. But people are like, why do we see this?

It's a comedy sketch about something completely different, but Instagram is still putting that tag on Instagram is Facebook is. Yep. I don't know if YouTube is doing anything with it, but YouTube will still comment on, hey, this one a little bit too far or you know, certain things would say, do you think cancel culture is over with? I think this is what is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy that our friend Elon Musk is, you know, reaching out for. I don't, I think we're starting to see the infancy stages of cancel culture like this anti-woke agenda that Ron DeSantis and certain other people are sort of spearheading.

No, I don't think cancel culture is over. And I'll tell you why because you also have tens of millions of Gen Z for the most part who are the kick starters of cancel culture. And they're not going anywhere and they're doubling down on some of their things that they believe in their ideology, whether it's sort of the LGBT stuff or whether it's the critical race theory or whether it's a 16-19 project, these things aren't going anywhere. What I think will help identify sort of like the canary and the cold mind of what where

cancel culture will be is the 2024 election. We'll see where that kind of goes because I think if it is Ron DeSantis or even Trump on the right versus whoever ends up being on the left if it's a Biden or a new sum or a Kamala, whoever. I think that'll be sort of an identifier, but no, I do not think that it is over. I think even within Twitter, it is not over. I think that he's done a good job of making it more of a free speech platform, but I think he's still removed Kanye. I think there's some certain things.

So he didn't remove Kanye. He's suspended Yeah, yeah, and by the way, it's anything. I don't think it is though. I think I think I think that is like There's a difference between getting your license suspended and taken away Right if you get like listen, I had 21 speeding tickets one day. I'm driving with a guy I'm trying to teach him how to sell insurance policies. This is 18 years ago, 17 years ago. Cop pulls me over, says, what are you doing? I said, I'm on the 101 freeway. I'm trying to get to a client's house.

He says, what are you doing? Driving with a suspended license. I said, I don't even know if my license has been suspended. Your license has suspended for a year. I have to get out of the car. Somebody have to come pick me up, take me. Guess what? Yes, I deserve to have my license suspended at the time.

But then I got it back. And then I lost it again. I got it back again. Eventually, I'm to have my license suspended at the time, but then I got it back. And then I lost it again. I got it back again. Eventually, I'm driving, right? Cancel culture, I think when Elon is saying this, he may be right because to him, think about it if you're Elon Musk. Elon Musk is for sure. Cancel culture is for sure canceled for him on Twitter.

100%. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, 100%. For sure it's canceled for him on Twitter. 100% yeah. Yeah, 1000% for sure it's canceled for him on Twitter. Now, do I think it's decreased on Twitter? Yes. Do I think people are saying stuff on Twitter that they couldn't get away with, you know, you're a 1 million percent? I don't think you could have gone away

with that six months ago on Twitter. Do I think some things are broken because the new engineers, I'll give you an idea. We have an app that we develop. Tom knows the story. So we moved away from one of the developers that we hired, we moved away to bigger developer because of a team of 500 people,

and they can do stuff for us that the other guys couldn't do. The new developers updated seven different things that worked incredibly well, but they broke two things that was working well. I don't know if that makes sense. Seven things work sick, but two things that were not broken, they broke it.

By trying to fix seven other things. So I think Elon's Tesla engineers or whoever he brought in right now may be breaking some stuff while fixing 80 things. And I think the users have to be a little bit patient, but people are not afraid of saying stuff today, then they were afraid of six months ago. But Adam made a great point, but let's just say Trump wins in 2024.

You don't think that I know they're cleaning up in all these Twitter files, and the FBI is embedded. The FBI is going to Twitter and monitoring for a political party. You don't think they're still going to be there when if let's say trump wins those people are still there the fb i to me is all left all democrat voting i i remember that one time as how many republicans are actually in the fb i when the fb i is that involved bro that cancel it's gonna come back you'll see let me uh... i don't necessarily agree that

all the fb i or the c i is all democrat i don't think that i don't necessarily agree that all the fb i or cia is all democrats but what you're the majority of all that i don't know what i would i do want to ask since your comedian is how many times can you be canceled what do i mean we just saw that rose and bar rose and Arnold or whatever you know she goes by these days

rose and was cancelled yeah right uh... few years back and now she's on tour again, and her whole thing is, well, you can't cancel me again. It's like even an adjutated as an example. It's like, I've already been canceled. The matrix says, use the other bullets, well,

now they've used another one, he's in jail. But can you get canceled again, I guess is the question. You just nailed it though, she was canceled. Number, she did the national anthem, and she would like mocked it. That was one of the first cancel. Yeah, and they were like, you're done. You just nailed it though. She was canceled. Members, she did the national anthem and she would like mocked it. That was one of the first cancel. Yeah. They were like, you're done.

They just laughed at her. They canceled. No, no, no. They're like, no, they're like, no, they pull you off of your show. They remove you from your platform. You're done. That's what happened with Rosanne. I think you're going to point about the 2024 election, Adam.

It's that we're going to see how does the populist really think about candidates and about what they stand for for these kind of things, and that's gonna show up. But I think Elon Musk was saying is, I can't read his mind, but the way I read it is, council culture has done it Twitter. I'm done taking orders from the outside, we're trying to fix things and do it.

And I think he was very adamant about that. And I think he's also saying, you know, and I'm not going away. And I think it was a vision statement you know, and I'm not going away. And I think it was a vision statement for the rest of us because I see it's not getting better, you know, everywhere. Certain places, it's getting better. Everybody is like, oh, change the leadership at YouTube. Maybe this is a sign that some things are going to be different. Maybe you can have an opinion on COVID that won't get shut down at YouTube. And I think, so that's why I read it, Pat.

I read it kind of as a vision statement and I'm not going away and council culture's done at Twitter. And he knows his impact on the rest of the world. He's an influencing voice. So that's kind of the way I'll say something here. And you know, if you got any thoughts, we can go to the next story. So here's one thing I will say. I think when you know it as Facebook, Instagram, everybody kind of given

Trump reinstating them on their accounts, I think a lot of these guys, including YouTube, maybe firing Susan, the CEO of YouTube, maybe a lot of these guys are sitting there saying, do it. Let's just make sure they don't target and find that are freaking YouTube files. What if they find a Facebook files and Instagram files? Holy shit, if they figured this part out. So listen, let's kind of accommodate. Let's kind of slow our role on the strikes and the banning and this and that and let's kind of let people lose a little bit more. Let's kind of know that this is going to be the year of investigations, Fauci and Twitter files and, you know, Biden and Hunter Biden and all, they're going to be the year of investigations, Fauci and Twitter files and you know, Biden and Hunter Biden and all, they're going to be investigating everybody.

Let's just pump the brakes. The people that were committing the crime, I think they kind of want to be away from all the, what do you call it, the investigations that's taking place. If you look at the social media influencers, you'll notice a couple different things. Watch how the loud mouth NFT people, how loud they were a year and a half ago, look how quiet they are today. That's all you have to see.

How a year ago NFTs were the greatest things in sliced bread, they're so quiet, and they're talking about kindness, and they're saying, hey, let's just kind of roll and it's all about love. And you know what they're trying to say? Please love me and leave me alone with the money that I made selling all these NFTs to people

that 99% of them are waste of time. I think that's kind of what's happened. However, here's the thing. From an Iranian and somebody who's from North Korea and somebody who struggled growing up in Miami, you know, we have to know that you have to forever and ever fight for freedom of speech. I don't think there's ever going to be a time

where cancel culture is canceled. I don't think there will ever, ever be a time where you're gonna be free of that, ever. What are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, totally. Actually, you mentioned about FBI. I was invited to speak at FBI Dallas last year. And then like to be, to this right before my event the head of diversity

course me and she calls me my political opinions are too controversial so she has cancered me get out of being called at FBI I told you but we agreed that I'm gonna only speak about my experience from North Korea nothing about American politics just my journey to freedom. And they still didn't let you. No. In Dallas. Wow. Which is in Texas, which is still a red state.

I know. I know. So that's very weird. What was the justification? I guess I was not diverse enough. I'm in the head of diversity. I'm an Asian defector. North Korea.

You're not diverse enough. What does that mean exactly? My, I think they are looking for maybe like skin color of diversity right by my thoughts were two controversial in her mind that I don't know what it was, just cause me like your political opinions. Literally, political opinions are two controversial.

So we can have you and go to my point and i might understand where you're kind of coming from but if i i'm interested to see robby you can look up i'm you're not gonna see it what are the percentage of f.v.i. peep agents that are left-leaning or democrat because where are the republicans when f.v.i. has been doing all this dirt for other

years what do we have to whistleblowers that were like hey guys collusion and small little whistle blows, but the majority of them are what? They're all left, well, they all work, we're Hillary, they all work with all these guys. I'm very, very curious to see how many of them are actually, how many they're letting in that actually go to the right.

Yeah, that's amazing. Because I'm not seeing them, bro. Actually, I think you made a really good point about, just sort of the timeliness of where we're at. Would you agree that 2020-2021 with the election, with COVID, with lockdowns, with mandates, with Gen Z sort of being this is their first time to vote, all that kind of culminating that that was the worst of the worst of the worst with this cancel culture. Meaning it can't get worse than it was during COVID, right? Like in the greater context, like we're sort of coming out of it.

We're seeing the economy, we're seeing just the pushback from whether it's Musk and Twitter and things being more open, you know, less people getting canceled. Do you think we've seen the worst of it? Is my question. On the cancel culture side? All of that, correct. OK, so here's the part that for me, I'll get comfortable with.

So if you think about a school system, when we're talking about the number of people, teachers, professors, we talked about this a couple of podcasts ago where they measured by the purely by the dollar contribution, school teachers. This is why I want everybody to consider taking their kids out of public school and put them in public school, private schools, and consider homeschooling.

I recommend every parent consider taking their kids out of public schools and putting it in private school or homeschooling if you can afford it. English teachers out of 100 teachers in America, 90, 97 were Democrats, three were Republicans in public school. Health teachers in America out of 100, 99 Democrats, one Republican.

Math and science teachers out of 100, based on contribution, 87 Democrats, 13 Republican. That is a monopoly, it's not a 50 50, okay? Private private schools are not 80% Republican 70% Republican or 60% Republican There's still 60% Democrat because most teachers are not making enough money where their policies would be policies to vote on Maybe on one side 60% of teachers in private school all still Democrats But it's a little bit more of a balanced situation.

So, where am I going to answer your question here? Here's my answer to your question. What's happening is, for 15 years, these social media companies were all owned by the left. Yep. Yep, for 15 years. So, guess what? When Alex Jones got canceled the next day,

a hundred people canceled them. Why? Because they're all on the same page. It's one phone call. Hey, Facebook, hey, Google, YouTube, PayPal. Hey, this hate the run. The next we interviewed him, it was 9-11, by the way, when I interviewed him in Austin. I want to say this was four or five years ago, 2019, maybe 2018. I don't know the exact year when we sat in and we interviewed Alex Jones the day after he got canceled, we were with him. This guy gets canceled. So now does he say crazy things?

Of course he does. Does he get himself on trouble? Of course he does. But today, today, a guy like that saying something, they have to be a little bit more methodical to cancel everybody because Elon Musk. Now, here's what we need more of. We need one or two more to be bought. Look at what Spotify did.

The best thing with Spotify, you guys have no idea how big of a role Spotify played a year ago with Joe Rogan when everybody was saying cancel, cancel, cancel, Joe Rogan, what is Spotify, a company out of Sweden? Sweden, yeah. And they said, Yeah, no, we're not gonna cancel it not going to cancel them. What do you mean?

We're not going to cancel them. 2018 was the Alex Jones interview. September 13th, the video went out, but the interview was on 9-11. Yeah, I'm not canceling them. You're not canceling them. No, we're not going to cancel Joe Rogan. So everybody was hoping if, if, Spotify,

I cannot tell you guys how big of a role Spotify played in the concept of cancel culture if Spotify Would have said no we are gonna cancel Joe Rogan. Let me tell you Massively problematic for a lot of people in America. Mm-hmm. If Spotify would cancel Joe Joe now gets every everybody else is now saying damn the guy from Sweden is also defending what they're doing here in the US Then we had a problem Spotify Helped cancel culture in America more than Americans even know so shout out to is a Daniel act the founder and the CEO of Spotify Whatever you're doing out there building your platform No, when's the last time you heard about somebody getting canceled on Spotify?

I haven't when's the last time you heard about somebody getting cancer on Spotify? I haven't. When's the last time you heard somebody getting their shows taken down on Spotify? Don't even talk about Spotify. They're very, everybody talks rumble, but rumble is a conservative platform. Spotify has left, right, middle, those who hate Republicans, those who can't stand capitalism and they're totally okay with it. I'm telling you, when the most important companies on cancel culture, the last 12 months was Spotify. Thank God. They get very little credit for what they did. And if you look at Northern Europe and we could digress on this, but I will and I won't. It's first of all, you have Spotify

that's up there. It's like, well, you have Finland and Sweden, where there's some very different views about COVID and masks and vaccination. And so Northern Europe has been an anchor of assistance fighting against this. I have a question I'd like to ask for you as you know because I'm starting to see it here in America where that the Asian community is not being treated as one of the ethnic minorities. And they are being treated as quasi-conservative. Yale University had a big lawsuit about how they were discriminating heavily against Asian students so that they could have more numbers of other minorities that would come in and get federal grants so they were bringing

minorities admitting them into Yale. And after Biden won the election, this is the federal government dropped the suit. And so I'm hearing a lot about that. What are you seeing? Obviously, you saw it firsthand with the FBI. Are you seeing this in other areas where Asians coming to this country are being treated as well? It's harder to turn you into a lifelong Democrat.

You're more likely to be conservative and so we're taking steps. Have you seen that since you've been here? Yeah, I think I heard that very often. I talk about, try to, I talk about the cancer culture and the danger of it and talk about the oppression. The real oppression is happening in China and North Korea, or Iran. And they say that like, how do you know about oppression?

Because you're a white passing person. Wow. Yeah, so it's interesting like they view now Asians as white because we are also making a lot of money I think who is saying this to this I mean like college students They listen as a white guy. I Don't think that Asians. I've never been like, look at those Asians over there, all those white people, they're privileged. It's just, it's, this isn't adding up to me. I don't know.

You talk about the admissions school. No, but let me just go to the story that validates what she's saying. I think I understand what you're saying fully that physically you're like, yeah, you're not, you're not a white guy. But later. Hategorically, they think there is such thing as Asian

privilege, the privilege part that they see white privilege and Asian privilege, that being a real thing. Let me just read the story. Yeah, it's a most Americans think college admissions should not consider race. Okay, 62% Americans are, say race and ethnicity should not be considered at all in college admissions According to a new roiders poll okay the public opinion found that 73% of Republicans and 46% of Democrats said they were against Race conscious admissions or affirmative action, which is a practice used by colleges and universities to boost racial diversity Within their student bodies again

73% of Republicans say no, I don't want to know about the race universities to boost racial diversity within their student bodies again seventy-three percent of our public and say no i don't want to know about the race i just want to know who's the best students but forty six percent of democrats say meaning fifty four percent say no we have to consider what race it is before you get into college grades don't matter your race does right that's what they're saying

sixty seven percent white respondents said they were against considering race at all the admissions compared to 52% of minority respondents. The conservative leaning US Supreme Court will issue ruling this spring in cases questioning the legality of race conscious admissions practices at Harvard and University of North Carolina, the group behind the lawsuit student of a four

fair admission says that the UNC discriminations discriminates against white and Asian American applicants and Harvard discriminates against Asian American applicants. That was a question Tom was asking. Do you think we should consider race when it comes on to going to universities? I think that's what I was writing in my book. That's like the tactics they use to divide people

and punish people for collective guilt. Like the saying like, oh Adam is white. Therefore, his ancestors were privileged people and now he should be guilty, right? I think that tactic is like a very North Korean tactic. Like my great grandfather was a landowner, so they were saying when I was born, my genetics is oppressive. My blood is tainted. Therefore, I can never be forgiven, even though that was not my choice to on the land.

Now in America, we punish people. I have a song with a half-wise, so screwed. He's supposed to be guilty about a privilege they have. He's half-white and Asian. Yeah, I mean, double guilty. He's double-drawn according to these guys. Yeah. And actually based on the just merits,

the competence, it says just agents should be at Harvard more than 70% of them should be agents. If you're gonna let them in by the merit and exam school. But then Harvard only accepts 11.0 something percent each year because they have the core race core. So actually the real victims of affirmative action is like Asians. They so is so hard and that's how they get punished for it. So I think this is one of the things that I see we become like North Korea. We do

not value the merit and competence and somehow accepting dividing people based on what they are not responsible for, which is a collective guilt. people based on what they are not responsible for, which is a collective guilt. I think you hit the nail on the head there, is that more than anything in America, not only we are democracy, but we are a meritocracy. You talked about merit.

Why are Asians overwhelmingly being considered or admitted to Harvard is because they fucking kick ass in school? How about that? If you look at certain ethnicities, okay, I'm Jewish. If you look at income in America, you could fact check this. I don't know, I wanna say Asians and Jews are leading the list. Yeah.

Okay, also Indians to a certain extent as well. And why is that? Because they come from a culture that values hard work. Education. And there's a culture and the tight knit family and family values. And being raised in a two parent household. And there's a multitude of reasons why these types of people succeed. Now from what I know about my Jewish mother, they're a lot more like, kissy huggy huggy

than a lot of my Asian friends. I've had conversations with my Asian friends. They're more bowing and all that, but the family values and the close knit value and the emphasis on education is tantamount to these types of families and no wonder there's gonna be success. Like the Tiger mom, you know, story about all that

is like they demand that you do your work. Like is anyone gonna be shocked that Pat's kids are gonna do well and successful? Why? Cause it's a meritocracy even in his house. Did you read? Did you shoot your shots? Did you just play outside today? Did you do all your work? If you did that, then you can go play video games and have fun with your friends. But there's accountability there. And that's exactly what's going on in Asian households and a lot of times in

Jewish households. And, you know, for other on in Asian households and a lot of times in Jewish households. And, you know, for other people in America that don't have that type of accountability, when they're not as successful. So let me ask you this. And by the way, Tico Dilland sent up Brooklyn and one day you guys watched the pressure isn't on you.

One of you guys is gonna do something big. We'll see which one is on the other side. Good day. Anyways, let's go over here. All right, so going back. So question, basic question, and run a poll for this Rob, so we can see what the audience is saying. Should, it's a very basic question.

Yes or no, all of us. Should American colleges consider race when accepting applications? Adam. to race when except in applications. Adam. I think race should not be on a top 10 list. Okay. Vinnie. No. I 100% say no. Tom. No. No. Okay. Now of course it's going to be no for my end, you know, too. And by the way, here's what's crazy. I should say yes. Do you know why? Because if my kids applying, they say they're from Iran, it's like, hey, we need to hit our numbers for Iran.

Yeah, get in there. Yeah. Jack and picking choose one. I can say Armenian. I can say Syrian. That's Syrian. Listen, there's only two of us in America. They were right.

That's your minimum single. But you get the MAA percent, right? You get the MAA percent. You're at Middle East Africa. MAA. We need some of those. Check. Listen. Look at who is the current up and coming superstar in the NBA that's 23 years old.

Look at Don Jun. Okay. How high does he jump? What's a vertical? Yeah, vertical leap is nice. Huge. He's a big guy, but he's a great player. Yes.

And nobody should care what skin color he is. He just kicks out. He's not in from America, by the way. He's from a, you know, you're, where's he from? So Vania. So Vania, right on what he does. So anyway, it's okay. So that's that part with this.

I'm gonna go to within the education realm of stories. I kind of want to talk to you on curriculum having to do with sexuality. So if you can prepare this video, Rob, English teacher sexuality curriculum showing kids penis pics, ejaculation video has school approval issues. Okay, so it's kind of take a look at this one here. This just came out a couple days ago, kind of weird, obviously, Al Vernacio, an English teacher at friend central school, a private school

in Pennsylvania, like I told you, most private school doesn't mean they're all Republicans if it's private school. Has been involved in schools' sexuality curriculum from nursery to 12 grade. Vernaggio revealed that he showed close-up photos of genitalia and a video of a woman ejaculating in optional, optional sexuality class to desensitize children and teach them about the broad range of what is out there. Students in 11th and 12th grade were exposed to these graphic lessons, but had the option to opt out. And parents had to sign off on enrollments. The student stood by Vernaccio stating that he is a nationally renowned and highly respected educator. Vernaccio's goal is to provide age-appropriate transformative sexuality education

for all the students. He's also commented that every child is a sexual being. Can you play that? Let him just watch his motivational video by this guy. Just watch this for a second. At my school, I'm responsible for the sexuality education of all of our students, from our youngest students, who are three years old in nursery school,

up through our 12th graders who are turning 18 and getting ready to leave high school. That's a huge range, but every single one of those kids is a sexual being. They have been since birth. And at every age and stage, we can offer them age-appropriate, transformative sexuality education. I'm only a small part of the village that supports them as they grow.

It's not enough that I teach them. We have to teach them. Part of my message today is that we all, no matter what else we do in life, need to find a way to be sexuality educators for the kids in our lives. If we don't step up, others will. And many of those others don't step up. If we don't see homeless and freedom the way we do, one of the things we can celebrate and celebrate is how young people have so many more options to consider than simply whether they feel like a boy or a girl. I think Chris Hanson is going to come on now. I think Chris Hanson is going to come on now. Our understanding is of both gender and orientation. Right, you can stop it at this point. You get the idea on what's

going on here. So I can play more and read more about this article time as a parent of two daughters. Okay, one is in high school and one's in fifth grade or fourth grade. Six grade just six grade. Just how how do you feel about what this teacher is doing and whether we should be a little bit more comfortable with this. I think we should be uncomfortable about what they are is they're evolving what's out there to sexualize kids early. We have had sex education in school and had films for girls and a lot of things, your body is changing and all these things.

We have had these things in America for 50 years and those have been changing along with to include things about STDs and things like that and then leaving it to the parents to conduct the rest of the discussions. You have, it's a joke. you have the talk with your boys. And that's it. And I'm kind of alarmed when I listen to this

between the lines there, children have more choices. So what they're doing is they're putting ideas in kids' heads about what their sexual choices are according to the new list that he has. And is that list now gonna be 21 items long? You know, five years from now? I don't know, but I think the parents and schools have done a good job up to this point

and you have basically the sexual, the agenda is to hyper-sexualize our kids and to introduce things in there to get them more quickly on that path. This isn't about education, this is about indoctrination. By the way, if anybody knows how to get a hold of him, whoever this teacher is Alvernachio, I'm in contact with the gentleman Frank Rodriguez. I want to say his name is I played his video. The guy that he's against groomer. Yes. If Alice, Alice or Al, if Al has this much conviction

in his beliefs, Frank would be more than happy to have a conversation with you. I ask Frank if he's open to me bringing other people to you give your argument, let him give his argument to talk about why you're grooming kids. And by the way, what is it with these teachers who are so obsessed with teaching kids on sexuality? Why do they all look the same?

I don't know. One more point. One more time. Yeah. 10 years ago, a female teacher that showed pictures of her breasts to a male student, and ultimately ended up in a fair, she's doing time. Yeah. This guy, this guy, is she really doing time? Yeah, go back and look at. Pretty well. They lost what you on me. What are you? Oh all you were grooming young boys. Yeah, okay. All right low Leeda, I mean I have a child right it's a heartbreaking that it's my child that we are letting other like schools to do this like it's in North Korea you know it's not your child the school's not shaped the child and not just like, I mean, children should be children.

Like, I don't, I, in North Korea, I have any sex education. So maybe some of it when you're ready is fine. But two, three, from three years old, I think this is a new thing they are going for, the left is going for his, they call it map, the minor attracted person. It's not a pedophile anymore.

If you're attracted child, you're not a pedophile. You're like, like minor attracted person. It's not a pedophile anymore. If you're attracted child, you're not a pedophile. You're like, like, mind attracted person. They're trying to normalize this concept that it's okay to be attracted to a toddler. It's just beyond evil and beyond disgusting. And like, I don't know, like, it's, yeah. Something's going on.

It's a horrible, now there's a gender to construct, a horror one. Nowadays, it's gender the construct, right? You said something. If you can unpack this, you said in North Korea, do they look at North Korea that if you have a kid, it's the country's kids. Is that kind of how they view it? It's a collective. It's in ours.

Our people, our class. It's not yours. Of course not. You cannot say I in our there's no I Yeah, like that or people you can say I feel this no, so I like water no really like water be like him She will like perfect. Wow, that's very important to understand You can't even use the word I I am happy. I want to go to the park today So what is it just we are happy? We want to go to the park today. So what is it just me? We are happy. We want to go to the park.

Dude. Yeah. That's very bizarre. Oh, dude. And the loyalty I leads to individual competition among individuals winners and losers. Oh, we can't have that in communism. Yeah. I saw a documentary. I'm pretty sure you've heard about you, uh, I don't know if it was on Netflix or something, just the, the pure, the sheer, like the, not the brainwash, but the debt, the, the vocation. I forgot who was in charge, but this American doctor went there and all these blind, like all these people that had basic, they're all blind. He cured, like, I don't know how many hundreds or thousands. And the first thing they did when their eyes were open, they went to the Supreme leaders of picture and

were bowing and kissing and crying. It's not like she just said, it's not about, it was, and like if you didn't show that, I'm pretty sure you got plenty to wear, but it was so like you just, you're seeing for the first time some of them in their lives. And they didn't want to talk to any, they were just, they saw the picture of him and they went and they bowed and they cried and they gave him all the, all, it was all him. Well, I have a question. Go ahead and begin.

Well, we will give you our answer. Well, yeah, you collect a, yeah, we will. Because we're on the topic of the sexualization of kids and, and all that. I'm just wondering as parents, it doesn't seem to be a black and white thing. You can't talk about it, you can't talk about it. At this age, you can do it, at this age, you can't do it. So, there's a big difference, I think, between K through six versus high school.

So, by the way, you were absolutely right. This guy looks like a complete creep right now. He reminds me of the principal in Billy Madison, the revolting blob. If you wanna pull up his picture, Rob, it's uncanny how this guy is just that weird. But I was having a conversation with my nephew yesterday who's 10 years old.

And I have an active role in his life as like his uncle. That's like, you know, he slept over this weekend. Like that's my guy and we're playing football, playing baseball. So I have a moment with him yesterday and I said, so, how's school going, all that? I go, so who are your closest friends? Talk to me about the guys and the homies. He's like, well, this guy, this guy,

I go well, any girls that you think are pretty. And he's like, wow, don't ask me about that. I'm like, well, what you got? And he's like, well, there's two, there's two. I'm like, all right, my guy, you know, and we start having this conversation and very nonchalantly, he's like, well, you know, there's a couple kids in my class that are G.A.Y. And, you know, I'm just, but I do my thing. I'm like, what does that mean? He goes, yeah, they're, they're G.A.Y. And I, doesn't say the word. Yeah. And keep in mind, he's 10 years old,

he's in fourth grade. I've never discussed this with him in his life. I don't say the word. Yeah. And keep in mind, he's 10 years old, he's in fourth grade. I've never discussed this with him in his life. I don't talk about this. Yeah. And I go, what does that mean? He goes, don't play dumb with me. 10 years old. Come on Adam. And I go, what are your thoughts on that?

He goes, well, you know, they can do what they want. And I think we've known this for some time. 10 years old. Wow, he's smart. And I go, well, you know, you're like girls, right? He's like, yeah, I'm not like the girls. But, and I go, just treat them nice. There's nothing wrong with them, but just know that that's their thing.

That's not your thing. But the point is this, I had no idea he even knew that word. I had no idea that he even understood what that meant. So that was like a moment for me where I was like, holy crap, my nephew, the kid that I help raise I had no idea that these are conversations said who told you about they goes. Oh my friends. We talk about it So the kids know about this stuff is what I was what I was saying Pat saw on a podcast uncle uncle Adam. I saw it on the podcast for the nice lady thought

Yeah, it's for one of the top two. You win a lot of Pat. Now that there's anything wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with GAY. Pat's funny, Pat's son Dylan. I was, I, the other day I was like, I was like, so Dylan, what's up? I heard you, what's up with the girl, I was like, yeah, what's in there?

The girl that he's dating, he's like, yeah, whatever, it's just not so long. And then just yesterday, he's like, Vinny, Vinny. I was like, yeah, this is Dylan. Do you love, do you love Kelly? I go, what do you, what do you talk about? He's like, I mean Kelly, you like, you love Kelly? I'm like, yeah, but where are you Do you love Kelly? Like, what do you talk about? He's like, I mean, Kelly, you like, you love Kelly? I'm like, yeah, but where are you going to?

And then five minutes later, Senna's like, hey Vinny, do you like that girl over there? There's a girl, because she acted with you. I'm like, I love the, they're asking question, but they're not at the moment like that. It's none of my business to even get to any depth conversation with kids. Neither should teachers, neither should anybody

that's up to the parents to do whatever. And sex ed, when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure you had the same thing. The only sex education we had, it was just like a black and white of the inside of the girl. It was, they showed the guy, they were like, yeah, and I didn't know any details.

And your parents had to sign a form or you could opt out. They talked about acne and it talked about hormones. It was very basic, it was like two days. So I said, okay, we've seen the basics, health class next. But what I wanted to understand was at what age are these conversations appropriate? Because what I'm assuming is that they're happening

regardless of you want to step in as a parent and have these conversations. And I've said this before, nothing would have been more awkward to me than my dad being like, hey, you know, you got a dick down there. So I'm like, whoa, heavy one, I have this conversation with you. That way I had it very early. You have your old.

You've heard me tell the story. Yeah. Your dad? No, no, I did with the kids. With the kids. Okay, smart. Yeah, we're in the shower. I said, that's your dangling.

That's yours. This is mine. I said, that's the greatest toy God ever gave you. Okay. Only you get to play with that. Nobody gets to play with that. One day a woman you'll find will help you play with that But till then you're gonna play with that by yourself. Okay? And the looks on their faces When they looked at me was very awkward Jennifer ran out very quickly Yeah, but they understood and by by the way, these things,

if you don't talk about these things with your kids, man, and say, hey, there's only three people who can keep secrets with us at the house. We can have secrets together as a family. You don't go out there and somebody in school says, hey, this is our secret. No such thing. If he gives you a video game, a g'day, a dad,

there is no such thing. We, as a family, we can have those types of things. Later on when you're married with you and video game, a g'day, a dad, there is no saying. We, as a family, we can have those steps of things. Later on when you're married with you and your wife, you guys gonna have your own secrets. Till then, there's only a couple of people you can have seek. Anyway, there's a whole things you can do. They're good. But what role should the school have in this?

I'm talking about this topic. Yeah, what role should the school have? Because you had this talk and you even used the word awkward. I think school, but listen. Disguised, showing porn to kids. Yeah, that's not sex ed. That's not health wise. What he's doing is showing a woman

please herself sexually. That's not, hey guys, let me show you how I please myself look how great it feels. This is how you do it. That's not sex ed, that's porn. Okay, so unless if they wanna make porn legal in schools, That's porn. Okay. So unless if they want to make porn legal in schools That's a different story a teacher shouldn't be going out there showing these types of things teachers responsibility is here's a dangling Here's a you know the China here's what you do with the condom here's why you do it

You know do not participate in unprotected sex do not not participate in sex, try to hold off as long as you can. It's important if you make this decision, maybe talk to your parents about this, your faith, whatever commitments it is, you have to take it from that angle, not from the angle of, so this is what lesbians are, this is what gays are, this is what trans is, this is what this is, this is what bias,

and it's normal, some people are like that. You're putting that thought in their head. You're putting their thought. You know, you know the pig million theory or, you know the pig million theory, you know the theory of, if I tell you, Adam, if I constantly point out something in you and I say that that whole concept about low class low low income middle income upper class low income families that raise kids they say 600 thousand words from zero to 18 that are a rejection word from zero to 18. This

is in a book called the genius in all of us. So low income families they reject their kids 600,000 times from 0 to 18. Middle income is 100,000 times rejection. Upper class parents is 100 times affirming. You can do it, if you pull it off, you can do it, if you work hard for it, you can do it, if you do it like the kids, four kids, I said one of them. Of course, all of them can be successful and couple them may not do anything with their lives, but the choices on who, on them.

The word that you put in my head, that works. If somebody says, like, I told Vinnie, I said, Vinnie, I think you're super talented, I think you're super capable. The other day I told Vinnie, he looks like Colin Ferrell to me. Jennifer and I were talking, this guy looks like Colin Ferrell, and Robert Downey Jr.

And you know, sometimes you say this, and you say privately, people are like, oh, he's just trying to make me feel good and he say publicly and it's real I don't say to say it guess what Vinny is now gonna walk away and say wow this guy really believes in me but if I say to Vinny Vinny if you if you want to be by it's totally cool yeah yeah you want to be trans maybe your trans and go and know it maybe you ought to consider that you know some, some people are, yeah, show that picture by the way of Vinnie.

This is Vinnie. Oh, wow. Last week. This is Vinnie. Why would you do that? Yeah. Why would you do that? I don't know.

You tell me no. Go, go back to it. Look at that. I love you, Vinnie. I love handsome man. I love you. You only look, you only look, you only look like, okay, I can see, if I stick my hair back,

you look gay, right? I love you. You look gay. okay, I can see, if I stick my hair back to you, okay? Right. You and Adam, good day, it's okay. So, to me, that's my biggest concern when you say something like that to my kids or the people around me. I'm very uncomfortable with certain words, words have so much power, you have to be careful with that.

words have so much power you have to be careful with them.
