My heart goes out, obviously, to the people with their homes. And I'm watching the small businesses around us go up in flames. This is people's livelihoods. So it's devastating. But what is most concerning to me is our first responders and our firefighters who are trying to battle this. There's no water in the Palisades. There's no water coming out of the fire hydrants.

This is an absolute mismanagement. By the city. Not the firefighters' fault, but it's by the city. And I'm going to be very honest. We've got a mayor that's out of the country, and we've got a city that's burning, and there's no resources to put out fires. So if you look at your pictures, you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they can do.

And it looks like we're in a third-world country here. Peachy.

Great to be with you. Have you recovered from seeing me in the red velvet suit at Mar-a-Lago?

All right, so suicidal empathy is the following, Charlie. Empathy is a great thing, but like most things in life, it has to be deployed to the right targets in the right amount at the right place, right? Aristotle already knew this many thousands of years ago. So to be empathetic, is certainly a virtue that, you know, we should applaud, but to be orgiastically empathetic.

So for example, American vets are less worthy of our empathy than illegal immigrants who are MS-13 gang members. Transgender folks who want to play in women's sports who are biological males are empathizing with them is more important than the hundreds of women who will lose a spot on the podium. So suicidal empathy is the misfiring of an otherwise adaptive emotion.

Orgiastic open borders is due to suicidal empathy. Choosing to never criticize Islam because it might marginalize the noble, peaceful Muslims that live next to me is a case of suicidal empathy. Arguing that all immigrants are equal and hence, I mean, yes, they're equal in the sense that they're equal under the law, but they're not equally likely to assimilate and internalize Western values.

There's nothing racist or bigoted about that, right? my my house cat is a feline so is the wild lion in the savannah jungle they're both feline one of them wants me to pet it the other one wants to eat me for lunch and so i'm not bigoted against cats because i recognize that a lion is not the same thing as fido my cat and so

Criminality, how we navigate through the penal system is a case of suicidal empathy. Why don't we give the noble criminal an 87th chance? He's already been criminalized by white patriarchy. If we now put him in prison, we're double whammying him. And so every lunatic public policy that you could think of that is truly insane ultimately is rooted in the reflex of suicidal and misguided empathy.

Yeah, so look, as you are, of course, I am elated that Donald Trump won, but I keep warning people, please don't be complacent. The fact that he won doesn't mean that all of the parasitic ideas, all of the suicidal empathy magically is eradicated, right? It took 50 to 100 years for each of these disastrous ideas and these misguided emotional responses to
