those charges and they're going to say, you know what? Given that, I'm going to choose Biden. In the real world, you think that's going to happen? But if you ask me in a poll what would I do, there is a good chance I'd say, well, you know, pollster, you called an upstanding citizen who cares about the rule of law, unlike those unwashed heathens out in the rest of the world. I am the kind of person…
← Previous segment →probably all you people watching Fox News, you should probably just vote for Biden now because, you know, at least he's not convicted of anything. Is that going to happen? Or is it more likely that the pundits and supporters of Trump will say, you know what? That was a bogus charge with a crime and a conviction in a totally biased court. I'm going to vote for him twice. Which is more likely? It's far more likely he'll get more popular. It's far more likely.
And why is the Wall Street Journal even pretending that this must be some kind of a Nikki Haley play, right? Something to get Nikki Haley slotted in there. Because there's no way anybody's dumb enough to think that if Trump gets convicted on a charge, which are the only ones there are, there aren't any real ones in my opinion, you think people are going to drop Trump because he was abused by the government he's trying to fix? So you want more of the abuse? You're going to vote for more Republicans being hunted and abused? That's never going to happen. There isn't the slightest chance that won't make Trump more popular.
All right, so that's some good fake polling. What's the name of that fake group of white supremacists? What are they called? Stormfront or something? Do I have the name right? Oh, Patriot Front. Why did I say Stormfront? Is that something? Patriot Front. So the Patriot Front, these are the guys who wear their nice khakis and they put on really full masks, the kind of masks, you know, they're covering even the backs of their heads. They don't even want their ears to show. That's how serious they are. So they're out marching again. I don't think there's a single Republican who thinks that's anything but feds. Do any of you believe that's a genuine organization? Even one of you?
Now, here's what I do believe. There probably are real racists in the group, but I don't think they're the organizers. I think they just make sure there's some real ones in there in case they get caught. They can say this one's a real one. All right, so sure, we had a fed or two because that's what we do. We infiltrate. But look, this guy's real. Look at his social media. Total racist. I told you. Aren't you glad we infiltrated this group? Because look at that guy. Just look at him. All racist all over. Yeah, I think it's funny that they're trying all the same tricks that we figured out. I don't think there's any chance they're real. Do you? I actually have reduced the odds of them being a real organization to zero. There was a time when I thought it was, you know, 90-10, 10 percent chance it might be real. You know, you could be wrong about stuff like that. But now I think there's no chance at all. It's actually hilariously fake because as many people said today on social media, if these guys were real, the media would be all over it. The regular media would have uncovered their secret lair. There'd be stories about their leadership, you know, and how the FBI is on their trail and all that stuff. Yeah, the fact that there's no story about their real identities, it's exactly what it looks like.
All right. Military recruitment for white straight males is way down. Like way, way down. Are you surprised? Why would straight white males not want to join the military? Could it be because of all the DEI? Of course it is. I mean, what else would it be? Why would you join an organization that tells you from the start they're going to discriminate against you? Now they would say they don't do that. They would say that they're just trying to get some diversity. But it's all the same in terms of its impact on a straight white man. It's all the same.
Now, I don't mind if people like Mark Cuban pretend that they don't understand why it's bad. He's running a company and you as a leader, he might want to support diversity and that impulse is all good. I like the impulse. So he's, I think he's defending his employees and defending his companies and he's establishing his brand as being very diversity conscious. The way he's doing it is arguing that DEI is good in general, which he's not dumb enough to actually believe. So I'm going to assume the best, which is that he's super smart, super capable. It probably is good for him and his companies to present himself as a DEI supporter. Probably. But anyway, so here's my question about the military. Why would any straight white man join the military when they're being discriminated against? It's the opposite of what you would fight for. This is a country I would fight against, not for. If my country says I'm going to discriminate against people like you, I'm not going to join to fight for you. No, I'm going to fight against you because you just said you're my enemy. That you're going to discriminate against me. No, I'm on the other side. Let's be very clear. You know, I'm all American, but I'm on the other side from you. So no, I'm not going to join your army to fight against people like me, I guess. I don't know.
So what's going to happen here? Here's my provocative statement. Remember I keep saying the same thing over and over in different stories, which is that people like to look at one part of the topic, either just the benefits or just the costs, like the other side doesn't even exist. That's what DEI is. Let me ask you this and watch your head explode. Do you believe there's ever been an academic paper or study that looked at what the effect of DEI would be on straight white males? Do you think that's ever been done? Do you think anybody ever said, you know, if we do this set of things for DEI, we're going to get a bunch of benefits for non-white, non-male people and those benefits would be good for them? Do I agree with that? Absolutely. Yeah, totally. Yeah. If I were a person of color, I'd be all for it because it'd be good for me. And you're allowed to do that, right? In a democracy you're allowed to say I'm in favor of that because it's good for me. That's not unethical. I like it because it's good for me. We can all vote that way. You don't have to. I mean, if you don't, I might respect you even more. But I'm not going to disrespect you if you vote for your own interest in a democracy or semi-democracy.
So I don't think any white man, straight white man, should have anything to do with any organization that has DEI. But here's the thing. You know how some people, the racist people like to say America was built by all these white people? That a

lways bothers me, right? Because obviously a lot of people contributed to building it. The Chinese slaves on the railroad and the black slaves. So a lot of people built America. But you know what else made America? It wasn't the building. That's the part we focus on. You know, the part where the country is founded and then from the founding there's all these great things that great people did to m…
