0:00.0	You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to Serious Inquiries only with your host Thomas Smith.
0:33.6	This is episode number 10.
0:36.2	And it's Thursday so we're going to do some free inquiry.
0:39.4	I will say, you know what, we're doing sort of a Trump free week it's it's been too much now I know
0:46.0	it's been a rough week Trump wise but I'm gonna go ahead and save it for next week
0:50.0	and we're gonna talk about something not Trump related we're going to talk about something not Trump related. We're going to talk about
0:53.6	Sam Harris and his episode with Jordan B Peterson who in my opinion was completely
0:59.0	dishonest and has made quite a name and quite a lot of money to be honest with you out of misrepresenting
1:05.3	Canadian human rights law and really deceptively stirring up paranoia over political correctness and stuff like that and profiting off of transphobia to be honest
1:16.2	so I know those are big accusations but after doing the research and seeing just how

1:54.9	number 13 where we talked about Hillary Clinton's emails and he listened to it and

2:04.4	so it's possible and I'm hoping if we all tweet this Adam maybe he'll listen
2:09.2	so in an effort to cut to the chase in case you're listening Sam. I'm I just want to say I'm not going to go nuts on you and call you transphobic and call you a bigot and call you all that I'm not going to do any of that but I'm just going to say that I think you've got a blind spot and it was one thing when it could sort of be brushed off as maybe an issue you didn't really care about.
2:35.2	Sure, maybe you had Douglas K Murray on and he went on a bit of a rant that arguably was a bit
2:41.5	transphobic and you sort of endorsed it but whatever maybe you weren't
