erybody. I get it now.

Now when I tweeted this people pushed back and they said well Dave Rubin said this for example. The difference is that Don Rickles was funny and by the way I think he was very funny. Don Rickles was very funny. But I think Ye is funny. Did you not laugh like literally laugh out loud at anything that Ye did in last year? Of course you did. Wasn't it funny?

Now when Ye appeared on InfoWars and he had his mask on and then he was talking about Netanyahu and he had a little net and he had a bottle of Yahoo or you. So he said it's net and you. Make it a joke. Now that was intended to be funny, right? Now it was provocative and interesting but he clearly intended it as a joke.

So I will say the following. He is clearly playing it for entertainment. Clearly. Does anybody doubt that? That's the second thing. Has anybody noticed that he's intentionally trying to make us not like him? Because it's easy to look at him say my God he's failing at the task of making us like him the way we used to, right? So the way he was, he was so popular and if he's doing things and making less popular he's failing but that doesn't appear to be his goal. His goal seems very clearly to make everybody hate him at the moment. So he's succeeding at exactly what he's trying to do. We just don't know why or what point there is to it. Maybe we'll find out. Might have to do with freedom. Might have to do with mental health. Could be anything. Who knows? But we'll keep an eye on him.

In the meantime I'm not supporting him because he has insulted everybody. Is doing it intentionally. So are you supposed to like people who insult everybody? I'll just take him. I will take him at face value that if he's going to insult everybody then that's who he wants to be seen as and so I will go ahead and see him as that person. The person who insults everybody and therefore I don't care for him. So I'm not supporting him. I'm explaining what I see which is not supporting him.

How many of you saw a story about Ted Cruz, a personal story, kind of awful just in the last day? I'm just wondering if that rose to your attention because I hope not, right? I'm going to mention it because I think there's a part here that needs to be mentioned but I normally would not want to talk about somebody's personal problems but some terrible people on the internet are making it a thing and so I'd like to give them a little bit of support.

So number one I hope everything turns out well. It doesn't matter who this is. You know when you have a family problem I just hope everything turns out well. Apparently the 14 year old daughter involved may have tried some self-harm but is out of trouble at the moment.

Now the bad people on the internet are saying that they think the cause of the daughter's problem – and this is totally unfair because there's no evidence to support this but this is what these critics are saying. It's just so hideous that I had to weigh in. And they're saying that the daughter might identify as bi and that her father is anti-LGBTQ, say the critics. I don't know if that's true but say the critics. And that maybe that's why she had her issues.

Now that's the shittiest thing anybody ever said about anybody in the world, right? Like who knows what's true but the fact that anybody would speculate about that is the shittiest thing I've ever seen. Like you can't get much shittier than that, right?

But let me add a little bit of context and I'll take it out of the realm of the Cruz family because they need to be left alone to deal with their situation. But it goes like this. Ask a 14 year old girl – if anybody knows any 14 year old girls in your family or otherwise – ask them what percentage of their classmates, the girls, identify as bisexual in 2022. What do you think it's going to be? It's going to be about half. You know it's closer to half now.

What that means for 14 year olds is not exactly what it means for everybody else. So this is an important nuance. It's more than a nuance. If you ask them they'll say about half and what they mean is that they have experimented, right? That they've maybe kissed but it but they wouldn't necessarily identify themselves as leaning that way. It's just that they're open to it which is a whole different kind of bi than you know your grandmother's bisexual. Your grandmother's bisexual was "I really like men and women. I like them both." Today's bisexual is "Ah I'm open to it. You know I like one. Like I definitely have an active preference for let's say boys but you know if a girl wanted to kiss me I wouldn't object to it." It's more like that.

So if you're looking for the cultural influence on young people's sexuality there it is. There it is. Now I'm not going to give you an opinion whether it's good or bad or damaging or not. That's not my domain. You know I think that's for the psychologists. We'll let Jordan Peterson weigh in on that. But you should understand the context. The context is impo
