ase the chance of living. Wouldn't you? I mean, really, wouldn't you? To increase your own chance of living and not being paraded through town and spit on. Yeah, if those are my choices, I'll take the violation to the Constitution. And you know, and you'll have to live with another four years of Trump. I don't think that's going to happen, but I feel like it's the right tradeoff. So what would be…

All right. Here's more of this. Is the media changing to be more right leaning? So now that Bari Weiss is going to be taking over CBS News or already has, I'm not sure where that is. But somebody pointed out that Margaret Brennan in her interview with Hakeem Jeffries seemed a little more right leaning than what they expected. She was pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries and all the Democrats have been saying forever that Trump is a monster for claiming that the 2020 election was rigged and that if you claim elections are rigged, you can't be a politician in this country because you're just starting stuff. But Jeffries himself is saying that the gerrymandering that Trump and others want to do is rigging the election. Somehow he's ignoring the fact that all of the 100% of the Democrat states have already gerrymandered and that California is going to do some more and maybe Massachusetts too. So his argument is stupid. But Brennan actually challenged him on the fact that he said rigging the election is the worst thing you could say while he says that rigging the election is what's happening. But he's arguing that he's not talking about the election that happened, but rather he's warning that the gerrymandering would be like rigging an election. Is that a good enough nuance? No. It was good to see him challenged on that. I'm not sure we would have seen that challenge before. So that does look to me like the news CBS is moving a little bit to the right. We'll see.
Gavin Newsom was on some podcast in which he said that the anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop. What have I taught you about people who say period full stop? It means they know it's not true. Do you know why people put period full stop at the end of a sentence? Because they didn't have a reason. If you had a reason, you'd sort of slot that in there. So here, let me give you an example of when you don't need it. If you don't reopen the government, people will not get food and they'll be hungry. Did I need to say full stop period? No. No. Because as soon as you heard people won't get fed, argument is made. I'm done with my argument. But if you say something like this, anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop. You're really saying I don't want to debate any nuance of this thing because I don't even believe it myself. I have to say, you know, being completely immersed in the conservative worldview as I often am, I don't really see anybody talk about DEI as being anti-Black. I've literally never heard that. I've never suspected it. I've never thought it was like between the lines. It's entirely stop being anti-white. It's not the same. If you want the world to stop discriminating against, in my case, white men, how is that anti-Black? It's just not. So notice my argument. My argument has a reason that the actual people I know I've observed for 10 years don't have any anti-Black rationalizations even in private like private conversations. Nobody talks like that. Literally nobody talks like that. All they say is I got discriminated against and I don't want to be discriminated against. So I'm not in favor of being discriminated against. I don't want my kids to be discriminated against. It has nothing to do with what black Americans do or do not get out of life. It just has to do with your own discrimination that you don't like it. So Gavin, but I will give him credit that he did reframe that in a way that politically might be powerful. But what I like about any of the conversations about black America and who's getting what and reparations, all that. Have you noticed there's always a Thomas Sowell quote that fits the story? And somebody always puts it in the comments to every one of these X reports. So here are the Thomas Sowell quotes that somebody stuck in the story about Gavin Newsom saying anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Th

omas Sowell, so famous black economist who is widely beloved on the right probably more than the left because he's more of a conservative take care of yourself kind of a guy. So one of his quotes somebody stuck in there is that when people get used to preferential treatment equal treatment seems like discrimination. Boy was that on target. That's exactly on target. That getting rid of DEI is not c…
