Jared Taylor on Race, IQ, and Behavioral Headlines

A clip from Jared Taylor, a prominent proponent of the "Bell Curve" study, lists violent headlines from Chicago and DC to argue that racial behavior is linked to IQ. Taylor claims that only 16% of Black people have an IQ over 100. The hosts note Taylor's background in the tech world (PC Magazine) and suggest that Silicon Valley elites often view humans through a "computer analogy" of hardware and specs.

Charles Murray on the "Intractable" IQ Gap

Charles Murray, co-author of *The Bell Curve*, discusses the "intractable" 15-point IQ gap between Black and White populations. Murray acknowledges the "Flynn Effect" but argues that the gap has not narrowed significantly since the early 20th century. He claims that while academic tests showed some narrowing in the 70s and 80s, pure IQ tests like the Stanford-Binet continue to show a one-standard deviation difference.
