Nice to see a show were they are actually discussing and not have set-in-concrete opinions and are just yelling at each other. Refreshing.

"We" aren't failing kids. Government is failing kids.

Japan attacked and occupied an Alaskan island as well.

I read Charles Murray's book. His message is not hate blacks. I think it is something more like this - recognize that certain ethnic groups are not going to go to Harvard or Stanford and do well (of course, there will be individual exceptions). Maybe it would be better for blacks or Latinos to do community college or a state school and get As then to get into Harvard and get Bs and feel swamped. Also, I think his message is Asians have higher IQs as a group than whites ("Europeans"). That does not have to be racist. I am a white man. I am ok with the idea that as a group my group doesn't have as high an IQ as Asians as a group. It doesn't have to be racist. And of course it would not have political implications like voting or who gets what rights.

Noam remember when you told Norm that Israel would never let the Palestinians starve? I think it’s time to do some introspection.

36:30 Really love this insight about classical music, in the context of rampant relativism especially when it comes to creative autonomy that's guarded fiercely. I'm developing a documentary that touches on this history.

I've got to say I agree somewhat on the race IQ thing but we also shouldn't suffer falsehoods about whether race is commensurate with statistical clusters or gene pools as Noam said. I'm not interested in or fond of people hyperemphasizing IQ at all, but we shouldn't pretend clusters are an erroneous construct or too course or too continuous be informative on race, and I think people have been doing that out of convenience. In other words I think the math basically does tell us that race is real but it would be better to deal with that an an abstract level with global and historical consequences the way Nick Wade did, rather than being so eager to make the domestic issues of our fellow citizens into some determined thing. When people who focus a lot on IQ say things like it doesn't reflect on moral worth, that's very lacking. So I don't like that, but I also don't like people misrepresenting the fact that modern statistics and genomics really does leave the door open and we shouldn't make false claims about the implications of population genetics or say it's completely separate from race.

Okay, however you feel about Ryan, he really does look like an alt-right Joker: "you wanna know how I got these twitter bans?" *smiles creepily*

Very much respect to you! For your defense of free speech. I disagree with you mostly, but I respect what you do.

This checks out.

I really enjoy the discussions on this program, but I experience a very jarring effect every time Noam brings up the idea of “trans people” as if they are some special class of people who are born different from the rest of us. When I hear that you continue to cling to this irrational belief, this political religion, it instantly makes me question your judgment and your commitment to reality in the face of immense social pressure and emotional manipulation, which is what seems to be driving you on this topic. Noam believes that the pushback against “trans people” is too shallow, but it’s really not that deep. Men who pretend to be women are harming women and children and society in order to validate their own feelings, and that doesn’t become justified merely because the man really really wants to believe or really actually believes. I have no obligation to change my speech and my perception of reality for these men, nor for the women who think they are men. So when they make an unreasonable demands on me, I will fight them in whatever way I need to and that includes mocking their ideas.

A bunch of Europeans show up in China and fit in well. Would it bring tears to your eyes? Would you expect it to bring tears to theirs? I don't think so. Sometimes immigration works, great. The question is about when if ever it might not.

@HonoredeBalzac-ou1jl China? Funny you choose essentially an ethno state with almost no immigration to make that point. I think they just wouldn't allow that to happen since they're so anti immigration.

Being a white supremacist isn’t a legitimate difference in ideology, he only disavowed his writings under the name Richard Hoste after he got caught. Jeez you’ve had some really poor quality guests lately, seriously disappointing and gross

I don't understand. But now he's written extensively, repudiating these views. And with that he gives us insight into what was once motivating him. How is that not a worthwhile to listen to? I book guests like this because I have a curious mind. You should be more open to learning about the real world and the people who live in it. Or, just talk to people you already approve and agree with. Zzzzzzzz

@@comedycellarclips "But now he's written extensively, repudiating these views" You really are a simpleton. Hanania still believes white people are smarter than black people. Ergo, no he hasn't repudiated his prior views, he's just distanced himself from his viciously overt iteration of them.

He only changed his views because he saw there was more money to be made (from the Mercatus center, among others) by towing the neoliberal/libertarian lines. Richard doesn't really believe in anything. Just says whatever will get him attention. Total lizard.
