0:52

is called nation victims it's vague ram

0:54

islam is have a good to see again

0:56

the fear your your i was what float

0:58

around but megyn kelly's a good friend of my she'd been

1:01

a microbe on her show your honor so there

1:03

you are than of turn on fox there's effects

1:05

i turn on some other network their you either you

1:07

are newsmax as well i'm glad that people

1:09

are understanding how much they really

1:12

are wisdom you have when it comes to the

1:14

situation where facing in this nation today

1:17

it's causal outed by big tech cause a

1:19

lot of of by big media and for some

1:21

reason people have been convinced that

1:23

instead of point of view boots fact that the straps like you

1:25

and i did a getting three or four jobs

1:28

and striving to achieve what we want to achieve

1:30

they all sort of coddling the corner and they

1:32

aren't they really believe that their victims is

1:35

is that really the crux of what we're talking about the

1:37

book that people are are very quick

1:39

these days to consider themselves

1:41

victims and therefore not do anything about

1:44

that is the crux of the problem

1:46

i address in the book will be new national

1:48

identity i'll go so far as to call it a new national

1:51

identity joke built around

1:53

victimhood seen ourselves as victims

1:56

black victims white victims second

1:58

generation a cinema

1:59

the victims i see that even in indian american

2:02

community bros but the call fraction

2:04

the book is to revive a new national identity

2:06

based on the shared pursuit of excellence

2:08

that's actually why immigrants come it's country it

2:11

islamic has given this country it used

2:13

to be america's national identity i still

2:15

think it can be yet again and

2:17

important part about it is that what does things i do

2:19

for the middle part of the book is a truce

2:21

a lot of history american history all without

2:24

to the reconstruction era the civil war even

2:26

roman history it could encourage

2:28

you when you take a look and a walk through history

2:31

because

2:31

the real i do this isn't the first time even

2:33

our culture as a country

2:35

elodie the other great cultures like roman

2:38

the woman about have gone through similar bows

2:40

so to notice any american experiment get

2:43

it over

2:43

added we have a major problem we did a seat with clear

2:46

eyes i think his victim of culture is a cancer

2:48

on a national salt

2:49

but i also think that history teaches us that we

2:51

may find our way out if we make the right choices

2:54

that's part of what i lay out the book regular visitors the

2:56

a good movie the book is i nation the victim's identity

2:58

politics the death of merits and

3:00

the path back to excellence from for vague aromas

3:03

mommy going get this right now i'd actually

3:05

out today which is awesome so

3:07

let me just piggybacking what you said my grandfather

3:10

team on a boat to come weeks and weeks to get him

3:12

from italy or my great grandparents on the other

3:14

side came over on boats as well and

3:16

they always seeking a better life will have two million

3:18

people potentially in twelve months

3:21

break across the border illegally to

3:23

get to this great land and we have people

3:25

sitting in the land who are taking

3:28

for granted the fact that were born here and

3:30

the greatest land of the planet maybe ever in history

3:33

and they're just not taking advantage of it and

3:35

i want to use one quick example i love your your comment

3:37

on this queen elizabeth passed away immediately

3:40

people took to social media maybe try to get social

3:42

media cloud to say that they were victimized

3:45

by her their ancestors were victimized

3:47

by earth like a horrible this person was a british

3:49

empire minutes is exactly what you're talking

3:51

about instead of seeing the

3:53

good vaccines it a bringing for her way

3:55

which is seventy years much better

3:57

than when was the british empire certainly am

4:00

wanna beat her down of it's use guns is

4:02

it for social cloud is it for noticed

4:04

me or is it really did they feel as though

4:06

queen elizabeth somehow victimize them

4:09

i think it's mostly the former but they convinced

4:12

themselves that it's the latter and the irony

4:14

is you're gonna hear from people who actually we're not victimized

4:16

by her at all

4:16

the irony here is is actually the

4:19

incumbents the end up thinking

4:21

of themselves most of the victims and i'll walk you through the

4:23

south a little but first you begin

4:25

fascination whereas a company or individual

4:27

whatever it may be as an insurgent you

4:29

have all of the energy and power of an

4:32

underdog them you achieve success

4:34

then you become an incumbent the incumbency

4:37

breeds laziness it bleeds slaw

4:40

it breeds entitlement and one of the things i

4:42

described in the book is the victimhood actually

4:44

fits laziness like a glove

4:46

and mean by that is we see that even in the modern

4:48

work culture in the united states have a

4:50

lot of people just don't want to work after the pandemic is

4:53

doreen forward among others led the antiwar

4:55

movement as rate resignation

4:57

that interfere with want to work

4:58

didn't just say that we would actually lifestyle

5:01

changes that resemble those of of genteel europe

5:03

know said that this that about dismantling,

5:05

the oppression of capitalism

5:08

the colonialism of capitalism

5:10

you had to wrap it around this grand

5:13

nails of social justice

5:15

that you achieving to really what

5:17

is just naked self-interested lazy

5:19

that book is called today

5:22

asking about what you just said

5:24

it is immediately that we jump

5:26

on my brain was well, those in power like this

5:29

they can victimize more people are make them fields

5:31

other victims, even if they aren't then they can

5:33

control them better we're going to

5:35

be divided if i say you're not a victim,

5:37

and you say you are a victim not friends and

5:40

divide and conquer is very simple for those who are

5:42

are in the ruling class has this been

5:44

perpetrated by the ruling class or has

5:46

it been accepted by those who are on the receiving at

5:48

you, and i don't see each other as victims

5:51

i can because i'm i'm italian, i can say, well in the orleans

5:53

they a bunch of italians? i'm victim you

5:55

can say picture of indian descent that the

5:57

british empire did this that and the other to your people instead

6:00

were successful people because we don't care

6:03

what we want is to achieve our family

6:05

so is it the ruling class making

6:07

them feel like victims or those who

6:09

feel like they're victims wanting to be in

6:11

a position

6:12

the iraqi great quest guess i saw the way i said

6:14

is the takes two to tango in march first

6:17

book looking was all about

6:19

the cynical exploitation by

6:21

the ruling class by the the titans

6:23

of industry in the private sector by

6:25

firms like black rock and leaders like larry fink

6:28

who used cynically exploited this

6:30

victim of culture to be able to sell and

6:32

place more product what

6:35

is it about the populace the general population

6:38

because the to fall for the trick

6:40

what is it about the national psyche sochaux

6:42

nation of victims was in some ways the sequel to

6:44

well good quote was about the top down

6:46

problem design nickel exploitation by

6:49

the merger of government leaders and and by

6:51

the second leaders working together to

6:53

accomplish their goals by using

6:55

the general population as a vehicle to get there

6:57

but the job others and comprises the consumables

7:00

i will be frequently works for the

7:02

other side of that to this put more focus

7:04

on what's going on with the national psyche

7:06

right now what's going on in the mindset of an entire

7:09

generation what's the bathroom a purpose

7:11

and meaning at the heart of our nation

7:13

and our generation international sold

7:16

wow this ruling class relief

7:18

to ultimately pray and picketers insecurity

7:21

that's more with this book is about which is the flipside

7:23

of what my first mug logging was about summit

7:25

that's a that's a sense in which is a sequel nation

7:28

of victim's identity politics the death of married

7:30

and a path back to excellence by the of a grandma

7:32

swami really glad to have gone my friend so

7:34

one of the lines that that i see in front of me as hardships

7:37

is now acquainted with victimhood man

7:39

bet that so having so deep for guys like

7:41

you and me because when i hit

7:44

hardship on a hidden a lot of i got

7:46

another job i had a fourth job or if if

7:48

job or i would work overnights and not sleep it

7:50

off and hundred hours a week was nothing i

7:52

now i don't have to do that because again i'm established

7:54

myself same thing with you as a founder

7:57

ceo of of several companies as a guy who's

7:59

very successful so how do we

8:01

get those who would equate an

8:03

easier life who have

8:05

to compare to our hardships that really

8:07

made us go but like my kids have an

8:09

easier life how do we keep them motivated how do we

8:11

make them not fall into a victim mentality why

8:14

don't i have as much as this person is why

8:16

am i being treated as ways of my hair color how

8:18

do we convince them that hardship is actually a pretty

8:20

good thing a light because you could make

8:22

you work harder and strive for what it is

8:24

that you want

8:26

the what i'd like to do and what i try to do to

8:28

the book is to make that case however one

8:30

of things i also play on the book disclose that in

8:32

, we may not have a

8:35

chance to educate them because hardship

8:37

may return to do the job itself while

8:39

and then one of the things one of these were missing right

8:41

and i give so i was around

8:43

his book at the time that actually gimmick commencement

8:46

speech to my high school was invited me to do last

8:48

year goes as a look at the i is is

8:50

good acquaintances mezcal one of the high school senior

8:52

in two thousand and three he was heavily about

8:54

nine eleven to that defined my

8:56

high school experience those of us history class

8:59

and the time we saw this that second plane hit the twin

9:01

towers or towers now i

9:03

was given the address to the first graduating class

9:05

without a single person in that audience

9:07

was that born on the days those

9:10

two planes hit the twin towers were

9:12

in the middle of the largest intergenerational

9:14

wealth transfer in human history from baby

9:16

boomers to one of them are you an ira probably

9:18

the receiving end of that personally break but but

9:20

our generation millennials and younger really are

9:23

and and i think that that raises

9:26

a cultural circumstance where at

9:28

the end of the day weekend we can preach we

9:30

can forget books like i'm writing years

9:32

but one of these oled the book as you can listen arguments but

9:34

whether or not you do that's gonna create the very

9:36

hardship then allows you to becomes a good

9:38

as and will you are emoticon

9:41

the possible market crash that could

9:43

be exacerbated by tightening a federal reserve

9:46

forces i want to kiss i think in the because it's economic

9:48

crash in a market it's may be difficult it

9:50

may ultimately fortifying for our culture

9:52

because we will go up fifteen years of skiing on

9:54

artificial snow printed by the federal reserve

9:57

that such a covered up the kind of hardships that normally

9:59

the check on any kind

10:02

if there was a famous quote there's actually often

10:04

attributed to the founder of dubai

10:06

it is it sums up this mentality pretty

10:08

neatly and i said it in the book wouldn't have

10:10

to my grandfather wrote a camel my father

10:13

wrote a camel i write a mercedes

10:15

my son will write a land rover my grandson

10:17

will write a land rover but my great grandson

10:20

will ride a camel again yes

10:22

because hard time it was what is

10:24

it easy times create actually

10:27

gg easy times create week men week

10:29

men create a hard time yes so in

10:31

some ways we can preach all we want job at

10:33

the end of the day even if we even if we don't persuade

10:36

the next generation of americans is using

10:38

sounds of victimhood that document itself will

10:40

create the hardship that hopefully creates

10:42

a stronger generation on the back on it it may just be

10:44

part of what the arc of history demands is a first

10:46

book was woken keys a new york times bestselling

10:48

author is rebecca ramaswamy get this book

10:50

they should have victim's identity politics

10:53

the death of merit and the path back to excellence

10:55

want to talk specifically about merit meritocracy

10:57

works very very well we can just

10:59

use sports as an example sports

11:02

teams won a when owners want to make a bunch of money

11:04

they want fans in the seat they want to celebrate your merchandise

11:06

you didn't do that if you suck so meritocracy

11:09

makes sense you get the best players you can you

11:11

get the little talented people you can surround yourself

11:14

with them try your very best get the best

11:16

education you can and then you move up in life

11:18

there is a real push the they can you know this

11:20

better than anybody in this country to

11:22

take away the idea of meritocracy just don't

11:24

talk about sports because they do they'll they'll be hypocrites

11:27

when it comes to that but in life they want meritocracy

11:29

to go because somehow and this is the left

11:31

talking blacks and brown people

11:33

can't do as well as whites therefore

11:36

we must take away their incentive to try

11:38

they are joe biden himself said you don't know how

11:40

to vote if you don't vote for me he said you can't get

11:42

an accountant or a lawyer if you're a black or hispanic

11:44

and in a rural area he said blackstone

11:47

how to get on the internet they said people in the

11:49

left say people of color can't get

11:51

photo ids so they're being told their whole

11:53

lives that meritocracy to the married mary [unk]

11:55

review doesn't work so let's go with equity

11:57

which is called equity now everybody gets the same of everything

12:00

and that disincentivize a human being

12:02

from striving to achieve so

12:04

can we reinforce in the younger generation

12:07

you might be a millennial i'm generation x can

12:09

we tell the newest generation you can

12:11

achieve by doing your very

12:13

best and from your very best and realizing

12:16

your own talents because i feel like they're being told not

12:18

to

12:19

me too simple message that defined the national spirit

12:22

of this country are you could achieve anything you

12:24

ever want with your own hard work your

12:26

own commitment and your own dedication

12:28

that is the american dream up full stop

12:31

now what we see right more was a full frontal

12:34

assault on meritocracy

12:36

itself

12:37

not just nuts in a political context but

12:39

as it

12:39

mr for allocating rewards

12:41

that the that system itself as systemically racist

12:44

or whatever know of any of it's in

12:46

the sentinel a book called the death of merit guess

12:48

at it again i don't mean to be

12:51

in overly doom and gloom about

12:54

this job it's job it's that our

12:56

arguments the arguments and eighty this book or

12:58

persuasive but if you're not

13:00

the thing that's going to persuade us is the actual

13:03

net result that that yields

13:05

in a great power struggle with china china

13:08

is not allocating results ironically

13:10

try to us with a male it's heritage is

13:12

not allocating it's words or

13:14

who gets into school who gets an engineering schools

13:16

this a d i caught a system right based

13:18

on who's most effective and likely to be effective

13:21

as an engineer so that was the american

13:23

culture of meritocracy and the pursuit of excellence

13:26

have left oceans

13:27

the lift appointed like china while

13:29

the maoist victim a culture that defines

13:31

changes know that actually come to instead

13:34

the united states and so i

13:36

, give another example the u penn medical school

13:38

at the top medical school in the country recently

13:40

said that for certain races given

13:43

to the races supposition months races

13:45

they will no longer require the m cast now

13:47

you graduate from medical school the us

13:49

emily which has the certification first episode

13:52

of get back to the comments as the comments medical school they

13:54

changed from a great it exam to pass fail

13:56

again on considerations of equity

13:58

was a bad as a reminder the i think

14:00

he scores well guess what beginner top

14:02

colleges over a four hundred point

14:04

disparity between beat

14:06

whether you're asian or whether you're

14:08

it is only sixteen hundred scale exam it's

14:10

hard

14:10

even score below four hundred or

14:12

even six hundred if you were trying right on the the

14:14

for the point of this is a huge difference that

14:17

attack on merit is going to give us a generation

14:19

of engineers who are under prepared or

14:21

generation of doctors were under prepared a

14:24

generation of of leaders the military

14:26

in leaders in the private sector cool under prepared

14:28

so on are producing things less effectively i

14:30

hope to god this doesn't happen but when people are

14:32

when life expectancies appalachians

14:35

don't want because the incompetence of people who unable to care

14:37

for them when the bridges we designer or

14:39

are falling faster than we otherwise would expected

14:41

i'm not be mad about about this it's gonna be the net

14:43

result that we see on display

14:45

ultimately result in our rediscovery

14:48

of the fact that actually you want meritocracy

14:50

was pretty good model that work for for a couple centuries

14:52

i urge you to give his book nation of victims

14:54

it is by of a grimace while me one last question

14:56

of a big every she designed today you're

14:59

right about everything he just said clearly and

15:01

hopefully people will get the book in an endpoint

15:03

a resurgence in in their own independence

15:05

of their own meritocracy it's those are complaining

15:08

about people moving up because of talent

15:10

or hard work or merit are people

15:12

who generally speaking got those jobs because

15:14

a meritocracy divisional guilty they

15:17

feel badly the baby ended up on top

15:19

and and their activity asians there now

15:21

it's let's denigrate them their own and of blacks their

15:23

let's pick them up or and make this equity

15:25

claims against those who are making these

15:27

claims of a vague you know this they

15:30

all got there because of meritocracy

15:32

wisely bad now

15:34

i regret your the question joke is adding

15:36

one zigzag the case make of the books that

15:38

just for the pursuit of excellence is funny

15:41

unapologetic pursuit of

15:43

excellence mother's we live in a moment now

15:45

of people are forced to apologise or feel

15:47

compelled to apologize for

15:49

their success accident he

15:51

got out of my critique suppressing trump of but the thing

15:53

the thing like of up once things i love my present

15:56

from was a he was unapologetic it

15:58

with respected his objectives unopposed and

16:01

and i don't think that's a republican value it need not

16:03

be republican value democratic values that

16:05

an american values that we're going to win order to

16:07

win unabashedly we're gonna win unapologetically

16:10

another to unify a ,

16:12

value without a white sell you said something

16:14

that unifies us across the boundaries

16:16

of identity and partisan politics beyond

16:18

the basketball court or be out of an

16:21

exam or be it is in a orchestra

16:23

it was a blind auditions actually

16:26

the the irony of describing blind auditions

16:28

as racist or this or

16:30

somebody makes it into north is from is and how will they play

16:32

the violin and how well that sounds rather than

16:34

how they look very different colored glasses

16:36

systemically races because of a scenic the welcome

16:38

supervisor this is

16:40

actually what unifies us have see it allows

16:43

us a colorblind weight and identity blindly

16:45

even at a politically blind way to be

16:47

able to reward those who are excellent at their toes

16:50

pursuit that is what it means to

16:52

be american

16:52

a analyzing i have always my town

16:54

in audience a little bit joe is that yeah

16:57

we also got to look in the mirror i i think the black victim

16:59

had cultures a major problem i talk about it in

17:01

this book people told me you're not supposed to talk about that cause you're not

17:03

block i don't believe in that i if i think we

17:05

really care about lifting up black lives we better darn well

17:07

talking about black victim and culture which is holding a lotta

17:09

black lives now
