    I sit up and pay attention to Heather McDonald whatever the topic she is talking about. Good interview.

      I pay attention, but I don't always sit up. Sometimes I just stand. Sometimes I even lie down.

      A big aspect is that she's come across as a nice lady, so it's harder for wokeists to pin a "right-wing" tag on her, though they try.

    Thank you Ms. Grossman and of course Ms. Mac Donald. I have read When Race Trumps Merit, and as a Black American, I thought it was spot-on. Thank you for your always sober work Ms. Mac Donald :-)

    The lowering of standards for med school to meet racial quotas should scare the holy hell out of us. Advice - opt for an older doctor.

    I have purchased all of Heather's books, will continue to do so and implore everyone follow suit. The protection and projection of her voice is a vote for Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. It also demonstrates value and support for brave, honest dialogue and debate.
    Even if you disagree with Heather, purchase her work, read it and form your own opposing views from an informed position.

    As retired law enforcement with a career that spanned over 1974-2016, this started in law enforcement in the late 70’s and exists to this day. That lowering of standards hurts public safety over all.

    What about big money Collegiate and Professional Sports....I know as an old white guy, I know I am very underrepresented in the NBA by race and age... talent is irrelevant in the face of such disparate circumstances.

    6:50 This all makes you wonder about the "genius" of Dr. Ben Carson, who had some very unscientific beliefs on certain topics. Truly bright people tend to not be savants.

    What would the american constitution look like if framed today? Would it even be possible to write one for this society--with a democratic republic in mind (and not a police state) ?????
    Could it ever even get off the ground with all the "diversities", each demanding what each believes that they entitled to by "right"?
    And what to do with the rich and influential global corporations and with a political system run on $$?

    • @tgriffin3059

      It would take a while, since the guys would have to go home and watch the news coverage to figure out what was allowable...Above all else, they'd have to avoid being perceived as 'mean' or 'bigoted'...and since the liberals change the definition of those things on an hourly basis, it could get time consuming...

    Two!!, very Intelligent woman, but got a little lost in cleavage, and as a result, could not fully absorb the very serious "classical fundamentals" that will never go away, and how their efforts are really addressing the reality of very "lowly men" desperately trying to destroy it

    The dollar $ign broach is a bold choice. It’s jarring for this text book objectivist woman to have such tacky jewelry that I’d expect a rapper to have. Is she Notorious A.Y.N?
