JOHN MCWHORTER (GUEST): One thing that we have to realize is that a person can use a term and they can mean something more specific than they know. So, this idea that the hyper-woke, that -- these people I call the elect, are pursuing social justice -- They'll say, "Aren't you in favor of social justice?" But what they mean by "social justice" is a world where, for example, Black people don't have to do math. That's not what most of us think of social justice as being, and so the idea is not to get a little nervous and hide in the corner when they say that you're against social justice. Say, "Yes. I'm in favor of social justice. But what you mean by it is something quite different."
