tter, which I love, the community notes thing. CNN tweeted, "Black fathers are often portrayed as absent or distant, but that isn't what most people experience according to both data and black dads themselves," blah blah, bias portrayals. And then community notes fact-checked them with the following facts: There's 64 percent of black kids have single-parent homes, 42 percent of Hispanic, 24 of white, and 16 percent of Asian have a single-parent home. Does the order of those things remind you of the order of any other thing? What else is that that has this exact order? Black kids, Hispanic kids, white kids, Asians. Well, it has exactly that order: crime and academics, crime and academics and success, right? They're all perfectly correlated.

Now, since this is a conservative audience, can we conclude that having the single-parent home, some of this might be a single male parent, but can we conclude that the single parent is causing all these problems? That a single-parent environment is causing crime, low academics, maybe affecting IQ, all that stuff? Somebody's clarifying that these single mothers have been identified as more of the more correlated. I think that's true, by the way. I did see a study that said the single fathers were doing a better job. I don't know, but I saw a study. So most of you would say this is pretty strong evidence, given that the rate of single parenthood in these groups seems to almost identically match their performance and output in a variety of ways. So it's the cause, right? Is that your logic says that this is the cause? No, they're definitely correlated. They're correlated. But is it causation? I don't see it. I don't see it. I think there's a cause that causes the single parenthood that causes everything else. Isn't it more likely that whatever is causing this is causing everything? That they all have the same cause? It's not that the one thing caused the others, right?

So I've never quite agreed with the single-parent simplicity right-leaning opinion. So the right just says look, the correlation is really clear. Single-parent house, you're going to do poorly, period. So stop having those single-parent houses. If you just stop having the fatherlessness, you'll do fine because the facts just show that high correlation. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I think that whatever causes the single-parent situation is probably causing all the other problems. It's just one thing. Whatever it is, it's just causing everything. Now it may not be one thing. It might be like a basket of things, you know, not just one item. But whatever it is is probably causing everything.

All right. Let me ask you something. Is this the first time anybody ever said in front of you that the single-parent thing might be just another thing that's caused by some other thing? Is it the first time you've heard that? Because that would be very sad. Now, and let me be clear
