know I'm not talking about the detailed choices but I'm talking the big stuff the people who stayed in school and paid attention and you know I was committed to continuous learning about how to be successful. Eventually I wrote a book about it. I learned so much I was like oh put it in a book myself. So I believe everybody who had that mindset did well whether you were black or white or anything else.

And so the real, I would boil down the question for black Americans to this and I would not provide an answer just the question. Why do you make different choices? That's it. Why do you make different choices? Everybody knows what works. Everybody knows what doesn't work. I didn't make a choice to join a gang. Is the reason because I didn't live where there were gangs? Maybe that might be the only thing. I'm maybe I'm not like some superior character or something. I just didn't grow up where there were gangs. But if I knew that, you know, that would suggest a solution. Oh, let's try to remove every kid who has a shot at making it in the world, moving them away from where there might be a gang influence. Just do that right away. Maybe even help the family with the expenses. Just get them out of there because it'll be more expensive for society if one more kid becomes a gang member when they could have become a pharmacist or something. So take it down to that. Why do you make different choices? But you don't need to tell me. I'm not the audience for that. You need to figure out why you make different choices. If I try to help you with that, it'll make things worse. It'll make things worse. You don't want my opinion about why you're making different choices because it's gonna immediately turn into something that sounds racist even if you don't mean it that way. So just stay out of that. You know, black America figure out why you make different choices. The path for success is so well known to everybody that if you don't choose that path, I don't know why. I don't know why and I'm not the one who will be able to solve that. So figure that out and then we'll be in good shape. And a lot of it I think is environment.

All right. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said yesterday, I think that law enforcement is a sickness that doesn't make communities safer. Town Hall is reporting on this. So the law enforcement is a sickness that doesn't make communities safer. Now he's making a choice, right? So he's a black mayor and he's making a choice to deemphasize law enforcement, at least traditional law enforcement. And as far as I know, he doesn't have a workable alternative idea. Is that a choice you would have made? Would you make that choice? I wouldn't. I wouldn't make that choice. Right. So again, for me to figure out why he's making that choice just turns into an absurdity. I can't read his mind. And I certainly wouldn't if I looked in there. I don't know what I'd say. Like why is he choosing this? It's just the wrong choice. It's a very wrong choice. I don't know. Why do people make wrong choices when the choices are so obvious?

Well, you would not be surprised that the New York Times and NBC News are kind of downplaying the possibility that Charlie Kirk's shooter had some kind of a trans connection to a larger network of maybe bad actors. And they say there's no evidence of any ties between the shooter and left-wing groups. But you've lived in the world long enough that you know that the left-leaning media is a little bit desperate to not indicate that things went exactly the way the conservatives said they would, which is if you keep going in this direction, it's going to look like this. And you know, the trans thing went too far and you know it's too accommodated, I think the right would say. And the left of course can't say anything like that. So they have to say there's no evidence found between the shooter and leftwing groups. Do you think that'll stand? Do you think when it's all done that there will be no connection between the trans and the trans partner? And I feel like the odds of that are low, but who knows? You know, we're still in a fog of war. So I would say that just about anything you thought was true could be debunked. Just about anything. But we'll see.

All right. You know, there's at least online there's a big controversy brewing because people are saying, "How can there be an exit wound in the front of his neck and no entry or exit wound on the back of his neck?" Like how is that? That's not a thing. It's not possible. And with the rounds that were used, it should have been small and maybe almost invisible, but they would have found it during the autopsy. Entry wound i
