NOTE Political Correctness

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.120
Walter Block is on the faculty at Loyola New Orleans, PhD in economics at Columbia University.

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:12.280
He's written a lot of stuff, including many books, more than 500 articles, and I guess

3
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:15.800
there's no stranger to controversy, but we're going to find out because he's on the phone

4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.240
with us as a guest.

5
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:18.880
Hello, Professor, how are you?

6
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.040
Pretty good, thanks for having me on your show.

7
00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:22.720
My pleasure, may I call you Walter?

8
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:23.720
Please.

9
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:27.160
Thank you, and you know, keeping with American informality.

10
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:37.240
I don't know if you know the latest, but the Loyola College Economics Department has apologized,

11
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.240
saying that your views or the remarks you expressed were not representative of the department's

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:50.080
views. So this is an inanimate thing, sort of a collective that is apologizing for you.

13
00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:55.600
There's no individual identified in this, but the Loyola College Economics Department

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.840
is apologizing because what you said obviously does not reflect the views of anybody who

15
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:08.120
is scared to death of being deemed racist, sexist, misogynist, whatever in the world

16
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.520
it may be.

17
00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:10.520
What was this?

18
00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:12.000
How did this flap take place?

19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.200
What was it that you said that caused such consternation?

20
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:22.000
Well, before we get into the substance, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to just mention

21
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.080
I want to follow up on what you said. It's more than passing curious that a department

22
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:29.080
can apologize.

23
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.080
I know.

24
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:33.800
It's a department of individuals and I know that the professor who's in the department,

25
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:39.080
Tom DiLorenzo, who invited me certainly wouldn't apologize because he was congratulating me

26
00:01:39.080 --> 00:01:43.800
as was another professor there who actually, I think, signed on. So that's one little bit

27
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:44.800
of curiosity.

28
00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:51.980
Well, Tom is a friend of mine and I know that he wouldn't have been apologizing for your

29
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:58.980
The American University at work with its defense of diversity as long as, as you put it, the

30
00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:23.980
It's not diversity of opinion.

31
00:02:23.980 --> 00:02:28.980
Right, as long as we can have diversity of skin color, diversity of sexual preferences,

32
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:33.980
diversity of everything under the sun, except for the one thing that university is supposed to be standing for

33
00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:38.980
and that's intellectualism or ideas or information, things like that.

34
00:02:38.980 --> 00:02:46.980
There, they pretty much demand a lockstep leftist kind of appreciation, which is horrific.

35
00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:51.980
So one problem is an apology on the part of a department, which is silly.

36
00:02:51.980 --> 00:02:53.980
I know. That's why I brought it up first thing.

37
00:02:53.980 --> 00:02:59.980
Right. But another thing is, you know, look, Ron, if you do something wrong, you have to apologize for it.

38
00:02:59.980 --> 00:03:04.980
I can't apologize to you. And vice versa. If I do something wrong, you can't apologize to me.

39
00:03:04.980 --> 00:03:09.980
So how are they apologizing? How is an economics department apologizing?

40
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:12.980
Oh, I see. They're apologizing for inviting you.

41
00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:42.980
No, no. They're apologizing to me. And they didn't invite me. So they can't apologize for inviting me because they didn't invite me. Tom DiLorenzo invited me. And they can't apologize for me because they didn't do anything wrong, at least according to their likes. I did. So, you know, the apology has to come from me. They should have written me and say, hey, you idiot, you moron, you sexist, racist pig, whatever. You apologize because you're a pig or something. But they didn't write me. They just went ahead and apologized to me.

42
00:03:42.980 --> 00:03:53.980
Professor Block's remarks also included offensive comments regarding the source of wage disparities between men and women.

43
00:03:53.980 --> 00:04:07.980
Offensive is the key word because you responded to a question about the differences between average earnings of African Americans and whites in America.

44
00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:12.340
Maintaining the disparity could be explained by differences in average productivity.

45
00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:16.460
That was offensive. And we're sincerely sorry for it.

46
00:04:16.460 --> 00:04:20.540
When you say something's offensive, you're not saying it's untrue.

47
00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:24.660
Right, that's the key. I mean, what a professor is supposed to do

48
00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:28.620
is to profess the truth. And if the truth is offensive, I mean,

49
00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:32.500
look, at one time to say that the earth revolved around the sun was offensive.

50
00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.820
As a matter of fact, it was capital offensive.

51
00:04:35.820 --> 00:04:44.820
Yes, capital offenses, I stand corrected. But it was true. And, you know, it seems that truth is no longer a defense on many college campuses.

52
00:04:44.820 --> 00:04:50.820
Well, actually, the truth, if we're to take a look at a big picture, Professor, I would offer this suggestion.

53
00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:56.820
The truth is never a defense if something violates any society's taboos.

54
00:04:56.820 --> 00:05:01.380
Okay, I mean, it doesn't matter. Every society has its taboos because every society has a

55
00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:07.740
ruling orthodoxy and their views must not be challenged because you'll be punished if

56
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:08.740
you do.

57
00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:13.340
Right. Well, the overall society doesn't have this taboo, but the leftist academics or the

58
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:18.920
leftist universities certainly have this taboo. What you're supposed to say is that when women

59
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:25.580
earn less than men, it's due to the innate sexism of capitalism. When blacks earn less

60
00:05:55.580 --> 00:06:04.200
Walter, the apology to the Loyola community from the Adam Smith Society and the Economics

61
00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:12.020
Faculty said that your remarks that they're apologizing for were not only insensitive,

62
00:06:12.020 --> 00:06:15.700
but they were incorrect.

63
00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:20.960
So let's tell people what these remarks were.

64
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:24.800
You started off, as I understand it, by saying how the Jesuits have been hijacked by a bunch

65
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:01.800
Douglas Goldstein, CFPÆ, Financial Planner & Investment Advisor

66
00:07:54.800 --> 00:08:17.800
And that's when you got into IQ differences, which, of course, is a minefield.

67
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:45.800
The IQ thing I think was a little bit misunderstood by the journalist Laura Vizella. That had to do just with the black-white differentials, which, as I say, was a very small part of my talk.

68
00:08:45.800 --> 00:09:08.800
The reason women are less than men has something to do with what in economics is a very basic thing, but I guess it's escaped my colleagues in the economics department, namely a thing called opportunity cost or alternative cost. And the idea here is that whenever you do anything, anything, that means you can't do something else.

69
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:10.800
You mean like having children?

70
00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:40.800
Transcription of interview questions and answers.

71
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:47.320
In the case of male-female, what is it that women are doing that makes it as if they're

72
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:52.240
carrying a 50-pound sack in a race against somebody who's otherwise equal to them?

73
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:59.000
What it is they're doing is getting married and having children and caring for them in

74
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.480
a disproportionate way.

75
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.040
I took a survey of my audience there and I said, if you're married, answer this survey

76
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:09.080
question in terms of your own marriage and if you're not married, answer this survey

77
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.680
Question in terms of the marriage that you most intimately acquainted with, presumably

78
00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:16.160
a parent's marriage, this is an audience mainly of students.

79
00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:19.760
And I gave them three choices, and I said, in one case you have a house husband where

80
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:26.160
the house husband does more than his equal share of house cleaning and shopping and cooking

81
00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:29.920
and childcare, and I got one or two out of about a hundred.

82
00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:31.960
And I said, how about if it's equal?

83
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.200
And it's equal to be 45 to 55 in length, and I got about five out of a hundred, and

84
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:47.200
In this marriage that you're most acquainted with, how many women do way more than the husband about shopping and cleaning and housekeeping and this and that and the other, and they all raise their hands.

85
00:10:47.200 --> 00:11:04.200
And I said, well look, if women are busy doing other things, even if they're equally able, and I think they are equally able, maybe not in the previous century because in the previous century, upper body strength meant a lot in terms of knocking down trees or mining.

86
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:32.200
In the 20th century and the 21st century, the way you do these things is with steam shovels and women are just as capable as men. So I assume that men and women are equally capable, equally productive and therefore should get equal wages, except for the fact that women are busy taking care of children. I gave two proofs or two bits of evidence of this.

87
00:11:32.200 --> 00:12:02.200
Transcription of interview questions.

88
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:25.640
Walter, we have a caller who's been waiting to talk about political correctness in high

89
00:12:25.640 --> 00:12:28.200
school, so let's say hello to Ray.

90
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:29.200
Ray, go ahead.

91
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.200
Hi, Professor.

92
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.200
Hi, Ron.

93
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.280
It's funny that the economics department of Loyola didn't recognize the opportunity cost,

94
00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:40.760
but another thing they should have gotten from what you just said was the law of comparative

95
00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:41.760
advantage.

96
00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:48.300
I think it's funny that they don't realize that the women should raise kids because they

97
00:12:48.300 --> 00:12:54.040
do that best, and I guess Jesuits should be left to do whatever they do best, I forgot

98
00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:55.040
what that was.

99
00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:58.560
Maybe the Spanish Inquisition, I'm not sure if they did that.

100
00:12:58.560 --> 00:12:59.560
Oh, no, no, no.

101
00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:00.560
That's not right.

102
00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:04.560
Don't blame them for their forefathers.

103
00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:05.560
I take that back.

104
00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:08.560
They couldn't have been their forefathers, never mind.

105
00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:12.560
The high school example, I teach AP Economics in high school.

106
00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:16.560
Do you have podcasts, Ron, so I can play this to my students tomorrow?

107
00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:22.560
No, but we can put it on my page at wbal.com.

108
00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:26.560
Ryan will do that, so there will be audio of it.

109
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:28.560
We'll talk about a teachable moment.

110
00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:33.560
We're doing this tomorrow, we're going to take a little time out from our Keynesian curve to do this.

111
00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:36.560
Rule story, these are how bright my students are.

112
00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:44.560
There was an outspoken faculty member that was saying, finally with President Obama, we can really do something on the minimum wage.

113
00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:49.560
And immediately, four guys in the class said, what, are you crazy?

114
00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:55.560
And then they went up to the board and they started graphing price floors and price ceilings.

115
00:13:55.560 --> 00:13:58.920
and uh... they're just saying you want to lay off thousands of people and i got

116
00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:02.600
that story from another faculty member i was so proud of these guys

117
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.920
they had learned well

118
00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:08.600
they well they're they're they're bright and they're uh... ambitious and they they uh...

119
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:13.020
it just stays in there you know and uh... when i hear stuff like this it just

120
00:14:13.020 --> 00:14:14.400
uh... i hear

121
00:14:14.400 --> 00:14:15.560
Professor Flock's

122
00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:18.360
stories and i just get so sad

123
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.360
well you know speaking of specialization and comparative advantage that too is one of the

124
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.520
The Basic Building Blocks in Axiom of Economics, however it doesn't apply entirely to this

125
00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:34.680
case because there are women who have never been married and they earn just as much as

126
00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:35.680
men.

127
00:14:35.680 --> 00:14:38.880
So I don't want to say that a woman's place is in a home bringing up babies, I'm just

128
00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:43.920
saying that if they choose that they have to forego other things just as Michael Phelps

129
00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:50.040
has foregone a career as a cellist or grandmaster in chess or something.

130
00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:51.960
That's true, we all make our choices.

131
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.960
Thanks a lot. We'll be tuning in tomorrow.

132
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:27.240
When you take males and females who are from 18 to 24, and you don't even look at marital

133
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.280
status, because most of these people have never been married, again, the wage gap almost

134
00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:32.280
entirely disappears.

135
00:15:32.280 --> 00:15:36.360
So that's the second bit of evidence that I gave, and the third bit of evidence is that

136
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.080
if you assume that men and women are really equally productive, but you can get a woman

137
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:45.160
for $3 less than a man, let's say they're both productivity at $10 an hour, and you

138
00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:49.880
have to pay the man $10, but you can only pay the woman $7, if you assume that as the

139
00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:53.920
So-called feminist assume namely that this is the actual gap that women are really equally

140
00:15:53.920 --> 00:15:58.360
productive and make less money, well then an employer would give his eye-teeth to hire

141
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.800
women and fire all the men because he could make more profits off them and this is silly

142
00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:07.780
because then you have more profits in industries where there are women a disproportionate number

143
00:16:07.780 --> 00:16:14.520
like insurance or banking, whereas in mining or woodworking or something like that where

144
00:16:14.520 --> 00:16:17.240
it's mostly men that they would be making zero profits.

145
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:37.240
Let me address this, okay? Women are better students than men, on average. There's no question about that. And there are any number of reasons for it, some of which we can't even figure out, but many of which we can. But I've just got to get you to explain this outlier thing.

146
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.240
Let me explain that. You've been very patient with me. I have. That's something that fascinates.

147
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:49.440
Now we get to the piece de resistance. What I want to say is that the men and women have

148
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:54.160
equal productivity and roughly equal IQs, although there's some debate about that, but

149
00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:59.920
the phenomena is that women have a very low standard deviation or variance. Namely, they're

150
00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:05.080
all bunched toward the middle, whereas men are just all over the lot. If you will, men

151
00:17:05.080 --> 00:17:10.840
Women are God's crapshoot and women are God's or nature's insurance policy.

152
00:17:10.840 --> 00:17:12.560
Now let me give you some evidence on that.

153
00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:17.000
If you go to jails and just look at the males and females in jails, you'll find virtually

154
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.000
all men.

155
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.360
Okay, there's one Lucy Borden who killed someone with an axe, but virtually all people

156
00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:23.520
in jail are men.

157
00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:28.720
If you go look on the streets for homeless people, yes, there's a shopping bag lady every

158
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:32.360
once in a while, but 98 out of 100 are men.

159
00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:37.100
If you go to a cemetery, you'll find an equal number, obviously, but if you look at people

160
00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:41.720
who died before their time, say who died before they were 30 or died before they were 35,

161
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.520
again, all men.

162
00:17:43.520 --> 00:17:48.440
And if you go to a mental institution, virtually all men, there are hardly any women in mental

163
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.600
institutions compared to the number of men.

164
00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:55.800
So on the left tail of the distribution, if you will, men are vastly overrepresented,

165
00:17:55.800 --> 00:17:58.200
and they're also vastly overrepresented on the right tail.

166
00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:59.680
Yeah, in terms of geniuses.

167
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:21.080
In the wussy subjects like poetry, or some nonsense like that, where it's politically

168
00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:23.680
correct and they give the award to whoever they damn well please...

169
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.680
Yeah, like that Indian woman from Nicaragua.

170
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.160
Well, yes, she would be a certain example, okay, they're the equal women, but if you

171
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:35.360
look at physics, math, there's no Nobel Prize, but the Fields Medal in math, if you look

172
00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:41.560
at economics, there might have been one woman, there was this one woman, Joan Robinson, who

173
00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:44.440
might have won it, but she lived before the Nobel Prize.

174
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:53.440
And the same is true in architecture, the same is true in literature, the same is true

175
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.440
In Masters of Painting, there are a couple of women who are up there, but for the most part, it's all men.

176
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:05.440
Yeah, look at music. I mean, there's Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi. I mean, you know, they're all men.

177
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:14.440
So, to make this clear, ladies, we're not denigrating women. We're saying that men are, and this is why this outlier is so important,

178
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:22.440
men are overrepresented at both ends, extreme genius and extreme dysfunction.

179
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:29.440
And if so, that must mean that the women are clumped in the middle.

180
00:19:52.440 --> 00:20:22.440
Hi, Professor. My question actually was more of a statement, I guess. Does crime also be, is crime included in that disparity? Yes. And the fact that more women, I'm sorry, more men, you know, are serial murderers, rapists, things like that, I mean... He mentioned that. Well, I did mention that. If you go to jail, you'll see most of the cases.

181
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:59.440
Douglas Goldstein, CFPÆ, Financial Planner & Investment Advisor

182
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.120
Women outnumber women at both tails of the distribution.

183
00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:27.120
For example...

184
00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:28.120
No, but are you talking about in total numbers?

185
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:29.120
I meant general population.

186
00:21:29.120 --> 00:21:30.120
No, no, no.

187
00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:31.120
It's roughly equal.

188
00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:35.320
Well, there's slightly more number of men who get killed, so it depends on...

189
00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:41.280
If you take the overall population, I think women are like 51% or maybe 51.5% of the...

190
00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:43.160
Yeah, they live seven years on average longer.

191
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:44.160
Right.

192
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.360
So there'd be a slight higher percentage of women, but nothing like two to one.

193
00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:48.360
All right.

194
00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:49.360
Jim, let me take Michelle next.

195
00:21:49.360 --> 00:21:50.360
Go ahead, Michelle.

196
00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:51.360
You're on.

197
00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:52.360
Yeah.

198
00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:58.000
I just wanted to make a quick point of that, I'm not sure if there's a lot of the listeners

199
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:05.200
out there that realize that when children are in school, when they're growing up, that

200
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:09.320
boys process way differently than girls do.

201
00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:15.160
And that's part of the reason why you see more boys, per se, go into the sciences and

202
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.160
mathematics.

203
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:17.720
And dropping out.

204
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.080
True.

205
00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:26.120
and that the girls tend to be more on the compliance side of following the rules and

206
00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:32.840
doing what's right and more in the creative, artsy kind of thing.

207
00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:37.520
That's why they're drugging millions of young American boys to make them behave more like

208
00:22:37.520 --> 00:22:38.520
girls.

209
00:22:38.520 --> 00:22:39.520
Right, right.

210
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:43.680
The dropout of boys, I think, is another function of the feminism run amok.

211
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.560
In the good old days, boys were boys.

212
00:23:17.560 --> 00:23:33.560
and you can google it anywhere and look up any psychological report or background or whatever and you'll find it over and over again.

213
00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:41.760
We've talked about that a lot over the years. One of my major betinoises is the drugging

214
00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:48.260
of American schoolboys. It's a disgrace. It's ridiculous. It's profit-driven. It's driven

215
00:23:48.260 --> 00:23:53.880
by profit and by the desires of the increasingly feminized schools to have the boys behave

216
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:54.640
like girls.

217
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.320
I would agree with the feminized school business. I don't think it's a matter of profits or

218
00:23:58.320 --> 00:24:00.000
greed. I think right now all of us...

219
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:05.880
This is because you're an Austrian economist. But the fact is that this has been a fertile

220
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:12.720
field for fees for psychiatrists who prescribe the drugs and profits for the drug companies

221
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.120
that provide Ritalin and that family of drugs to make the boys behave. So I have to say

222
00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:19.120
that plays into it.

223
00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:23.960
Well, I think there's profit in everything, drugs or non-drugs. I don't think that profit

224
00:24:53.960 --> 00:25:09.240
Dr. Block, it's a funny thing, you know, people claim to believe in free speech, but

225
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:13.040
when somebody actually practices it, they go up in arms.

226
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:18.720
And I didn't agree with everything you said at the talk, but I did agree with your right

227
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.720
to say it.

228
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:25.720
Isn't it information that you should have anyway, to reject if you wish?

229
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:26.720
I mean, why should it be hidden?

230
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.720
Right, exactly, and I think that it got a lot of people to at least think critically

231
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:35.720
and look at this information in a different way than they might have otherwise looked at it.

232
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:44.720
I'll bet you that the professors at Loyola, Maryland are probably out of, say, 200, about 170 are Democrats

233
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.720
and maybe 25 are Republicans, and there might be three or four libertarians.

234
00:25:48.720 --> 00:26:00.720
The problem is that the students just get fed Marxist feminist drivel and they never get an alternative side because what they believe is having different skin color and different sexuality but not different ideas.

235
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:01.720
Exactly.

236
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.720
Students are getting cheated.

237
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:08.720
Billy, I wish we had more time but we're out of it. Thanks very much for joining in. We appreciate it. You were the frosting on the cake so to speak.

238
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:16.720
Professor, thanks so much for taking the time to be with us this afternoon and I'm all in favor of stirring up a fuss. Way to go.

239
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.720
Yes, thanks for having me.

240
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.720
All right, buddy. That's Professor Walter Block.
