other? Do you think it makes sense that we talk about culture? We're always talking culture. Oh this culture is different from this culture. You have to understand our lived experience, our culture, our culture. But isn't culture, doesn't that mean you act differently in the same situation? Wouldn't that be exactly what that is? A difference in culture is that if I go to celebrate versus you go to celebrate we might celebrate differently. If you get dressed and I get dressed maybe differently because your culture is different from mine. The whole point of a culture is you act differently, isn't it? It's not really a culture if everybody acted the same. But as soon as you get stopped by the police that goes all out the door and nobody has a culture anymore. It's 2023. People don't act the same when they're stopped by the police. There isn't a person in the whole planet, eight billion people, eight billion people. If you gave them a test and said on average, you know we know individuals could be all over the board but on average, do you believe that an Asian American or an Asian French person, whatever, do you think that when they're stopped by the police they act exactly the same as the black and Muslim people stopped by the police? Nobody believes that. There's not a single person in the world who believes that. There's not an Asian person who believes that. There's not a Muslim person who believes that. There's not a liberal person who believes that. There's not a conservative person who believes that. There's not a black person who believes it. There's not a white person. There's not anybody. There's not a single person. Eight billion of us. It's the one thing we agree on. Cultures are different and it definitely, definitely plays out in a traffic stop. There's no way that the Asians are acting the same as the blacks and the Muslims and everybody else. I mean you can throw the Irish in there if you want, right? Just throw the Irish in there. I have no idea if the Irish get in more fights than anybody else but if they have any identifiable cultural differences, which I don't know is the case, but if they did you'd expect it to carry out in lots of forms of life. Why in the world can't we say that? Why in the world can't you say the problem with all of this is that there's a clear cultural difference in how people react when they're stopped by police? There's no doubt about it. Literally nobody believes that they act the same. Nobody. Why would they get the same outcome? It doesn't make any sense at all.

So France of course is going through their craziness and we all get to wrap our own politics around it to make our own points like I just did.

All right. So here are some of the numbers over there. Over 1,300 people have been detained. 234 incidents of damage or fire in buildings. What damage? Could be minor damage I suppose. But listen to this. 79 police and gendarmes were injured. 79 police and gendarmes. I don't know what's the difference between a police and a gendarme. Does anybody know what's the difference between a French police officer and a gendarme? Or is it gendarmes? Gendarmes. Sorry. Gendarmes. What is it? It's a military police. Thank you. I knew somebody would know it. That's a lot of injuries. That's a crazy amount of injuries. 58 attacks on police and gendarme stations. 58 attacks. Can you hold that in your mind? Imagine if in the United States 58 police stations got attacked. That's a pretty big deal. That's a shocking number.

Blacks and Arabs in France according to a French human rights watchdog organization, I'm looking at a Mario Nawfal tweet, he says that the blacks and Arabs in France are 20 times more likely to be stopped by police. And what is the likelihood that they broke the law more than other people? I'm not saying they did. I'm just saying if that's not in the story it's kind of conspicuously missing there.

There's a, I've told you this before, there's a highway that goes through Oakland. Sometimes I find myself on a multi-lane highway. The left lane of course is for the fast people who are in a hurry but the left lane is almost entirely young black men going over 100 miles an hour. And of course there's no police presence there whatsoever. But the other lanes, three lanes or whatever it is, you know they're also speeding, right? You know because speed limit 65 or everybody's doing 80. But the left lane is like over a hundred just all the time and it's almost entirely young black men in cars, usually multiple young black men in cars. And you tell that the police have just decided to let that go. It's like they have their own express lane for young black men. If you were a police officer and your job was to do stops, you're just going to stop people and give them tickets, who would you rather stop? A 25-year-old woman in a Volkswagen because you might get a date out of that. You might get a date. You never know. Or would you rather stop one of the cars that's going 100 miles an hour with some gang bangers in it who are looking for trouble? If you're a cop you're going to stop the pretty girl because your numbers look exactly the same. How many tickets did you give? Well yeah that's a good number. Back to work. So no, to imagine that everybody's acting the same on the highway but then when they leave the highway and they get out of their cars they go back to their different cultures and then everything's different. Like as soon as they get within their culture they're all acting differently than the other cultures which is what a culture is. No problem with that. But then as soon as they get in a car they all act the same, right? Everybody acts the same once they get in the car. That's what we're asking ourselves to believe. It's stupid. So maybe 2023 is when you can say things that are true and you don't have to say things that are stupid to sound like you're the good person. Maybe.

All right. RFK Jr. said some more about his drug healing centers. I like the fact. So he's talking about having some places that are away from the city where people can eat organic food, heal spiritually, physically and emotionally and find themselves again. So he calls it healing camps. So it'd be like not a five-star resort but more of a camp in a nice place. I like everything about that. He didn't say but I think he's in favor of it that some of these treatment centers maybe should consider using mushrooms, maybe ketamine or something. Not a doctor but we need to start using the tools that we know work and we know that the psychedelic treatments do work. A hundred percent of the evidence shows that they do. It's like all really clear. Kratom? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about kratom. I have not used it myself so I can't speak to it. I love everything about that.

Now you may remember that Trump had an idea for the homeless. So RFK Jr. is talking about the addicted. Trump was talking about the homeless but as you know the overlap is probably 80% or more. So actually RFK Jr. and Trump are very much very close on this idea. I would bet that RFK Jr. would be more likely to say yes to treatments that use hallucinogens and Trump would be less likely to be in favor of that because he's consistently anti-drug. And the thing is he came by it honestly so I don't hold it against him like I would other people. He's a lifelong non-drinker. He had a brother who died from alcohol. I got it. I got it. He's got a personal opinion that doesn't match the public in that area but we understand. Completely understand. So I don't think he's the best president for treating addiction. I think RFK Jr. would be the best president for dealing with addiction. But I think Vivek might be the best president for eradicating the cartels. So you've got a problem on the treatment side. RFK Jr. has the best plan I've heard. You've got a problem on the supply side. Vivek and Trump both want to go hard at the cartels but I'll take the younger president if I have a choice given the actual ages of the candidates.

All right, so that's enough on that. That's a potentially good news because when you see that Trump and RFK Jr. are not too far apart on the whole idea of building a separate area for the people who don't mix well with the rest of us, I feel like that's something that everybody could get behind. Is there anybody here who thinks those are bad ideas? To have a separate place for the people who need special treatment? What do you think? I like every part of it. We don't have a choice. All right. Deborah says in all caps I think i
