What was said
"You give people, men, a grip strength test. Then you ask them, what do you think about military interventions? What do you think about socioeconomic redistribution? If you can't squeeze it closed, you're going to want to redistribute. If you can smash that motherfucker closed, you're all for military intervention."
Gad Saad cited Danish research demonstrating that men's physical grip strength predicts their political orientation on military intervention and economic redistribution. Men with stronger grips favor military action and oppose redistribution, while weaker men support economic redistribution, suggesting morphology shapes political ideology at a biological level.
