1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Buck Sexton Show. On this episode, 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: we have our friend Chadwick Moore. He is a contributing 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: editor at the Spectator. He is a New Yorker man 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: who knows a thing about some stuff, or stuff about 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: some things. Chad, Good to see you, Hey, Buck, great 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: to be here. All right, man, let's let's let's get 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: into this. First off, you wrote a book, so you've 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: been sent to diversity training. I gotta wonder, first of all, 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: have you ever had to go through diversity training? Because 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: I have at many levels. Yes, in college, then in 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: the federal government, then local government, the NYPD, and then 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit on the corporate side, not 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: as much. So tell me about this. Ah, I should 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: have interviewed you for the book. I did go to 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: a four year public university, so that was four years 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: of diversity training even you know, however long goot was 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: like graduated. But I've you know, I've I've been so 18 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: removed from the corporate world my whole life. That was 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: sort of on purpose. I wanted to design my life 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: so I never had to go into an office. So 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: I was really fascinated about what was happening in corporate 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: America because I think corporate America is sort of interesting 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: and all of it and all of its uh mundane actions, 24 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: and I uh, but I did go to diversity training 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: when I was writing for magazines, other liberal magazines. I 26 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: went to an NYPD diversity training seminar, which I included 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: in the book and wrote about that. I've had to 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: go to one of those because I worked in the 29 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: Intel division. But keep going, oh yeah, yeah, so you 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: know it was about yeah, that was that was a 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: really fun and interesting experience. But also that was that 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: diversity training I went to was in twenty fifteen, and 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: that was before the summer of Our Floyd, which, of 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: course across the spectrum both in private and in the 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: public sector, diversity training took a really um, nasty, hateful 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: and very racialized take after the right some summer twenty 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: twenty and after George Floyd's death. So a lot of that, 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff in the book is um 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: I was talking to people during this time or immediately 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: right afterwards, so they were noticing how things had changed 41 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: and how HR had sort of ramped up the really 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: sort of grotesque racial rhetoric that has no place in 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: well anywhere and to signy, but especially on the job 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: and in the public sector. So what'd you find you 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: wrote this book? Your research the book, thought, right, that's 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: that's I have a feeling we're going to that director. Well, 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: it's interesting because you know, I like that fun. So 48 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: I knew this would be a fun thing to write about, 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: to talk about. And I wanted to mock these people. 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the ridiculousness. And I wanted 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: to get everyday people's perspectives. So I talked to guys 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: on oh Riggs. I talked to police officers, I talked 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: to guys in the military, talk to people who work 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: on you know, retail sales floors, it directors, so all 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: walks of life across the economy, and just sort of 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: wanted to know, like, what's your experience with diversity training? 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: What what do you think is going on here? And 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: a lot of people were, you know, we're so m 59 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: it's such a part of our society now. They at 60 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: first they would sort of say, like, why, don't really 61 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: know why you care about this stuff? You know, here's 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: what happened heres that I experienced. And the more they 63 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: thought about it, the more they remember, the more they 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: talked about it, the kind of more disturbed they got 65 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: by what they'd sort of been forced to sit through, 66 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: and also it's um, you know. But my favorite was 67 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: this guy who I called Jeremy. Of course, nobody I 68 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: interviewed one to be identified by name, because they're all 69 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: scared of being fired from their jobs if they speak 70 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: about these things. But he worked on an oil rig. 71 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: He works on an oil rig off the off of 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: the coast of Newfoundland and Canada in the Atlantic Ocean, 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: and the first thing he says to me is I 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, I said, so tell me about what's happening 75 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: on the job with the diversity train. He said, well, 76 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: just yesterday we had pink shirt day on the rig 77 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: and I'm like, excuse me, Yeah, all these guys in 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the oil rig had to wear pink shirts for some 79 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: diversity cause and this was during COVID, so they end 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: up pink face masks, and then they had to pictures 81 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: if I'd win in the pink shirts to send it 82 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: to corporate, because corporate, you know, it's the oil industry. 83 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: So of course they're in the crosshairs of Canada's liberal government. 84 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: The Resources Minister of Canada is from that areas. He's 85 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: representative from Newfoundland, so they really got to like, you know, 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: cozy up. The way that the oil industry in particular, 87 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: and I documented this not just in Canada but around 88 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: the world. One way the oil industry is casing up 89 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: to liberal governments is through this diversity stuff. You know, 90 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: there's a gay pride is very big in the oil 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: industry for these guys on oil rigs. I have to 92 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: work gay pride t shirts and June and take a 93 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: photo the Canadian Resource Minister who I just spoke about. 94 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: This guy's in charge of of course handing out all 95 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: the dueling contracts. He's openly gay and it's a big 96 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: deal for him. So and you start looking at things 97 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: like that. That's just one example. You start to see 98 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: really what corporate America gets out of all this stuff. 99 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about like why does corporate America 100 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: so woke? Obviously, like the c suite executives are probably conservative, 101 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: they're probably conservative people, but yet they let their corporations 102 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: go so completely blindly woke. And then you start looking 103 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: more into the political favors they're trying to give game 104 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: from it, and it starts to make a lot more 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: set judgment from what I've seen in the corporate world 106 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: and also in the administrative upper rachelons and academia, and 107 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: even within the federal government. You know, certainly there are 108 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: there are people. There are many different levels of why 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: the politically correct pressure or wokeness, whatever people want to 110 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: call it, why it is so powerful, And one of 111 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: them is that it's really the only way. Like once 112 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: one person on let's say the board of a company 113 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: is a racial Marxist, let's say, or a gender Marxist, 114 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: a woke person, everybody else on that board lives in 115 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: fear because that person wields a certain power that can 116 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: destroy the reputation and possibly career of everybody else around them. 117 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Just but that's the power that has wielded in these rooms. 118 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: So so yeah, you know, the CEO maybe is a capitalist, 119 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: let's just say, and in some of these places that's 120 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: not even really the case. But the CEO maybe a capitalist. 121 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: But if his chief marketing officer and certainly chief of 122 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: diversity decides that that CEO is insufficiently devoted to the cause, 123 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: can go to the board and say, you guys, either 124 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: get rid of the CEO or you're all racist, bigoted, 125 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: and in on it too, right, And it's very hard 126 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: to get for a lot of these places, it's actually 127 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: hard to get fired. The only way you get fired 128 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: is by upsetting d Ei in HR. Yeah, that's exactly right. 129 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: And if there's one thing that that top executives never 130 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: ever want, it's to be the subject of a Twitter 131 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: mob or to have their face in the paper, unless it's, 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: of course, some fluffy business article praising them for great leadership. 133 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: So they will do anything to avoid that sort of attention. 134 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they're what their political persuasions are. 135 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: But you're you're right when you mentioned that one person 136 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: on the board, because that's just sort of a microcosm 137 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: for our society that we're living in anyway, where there's 138 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: the tiny, tiny, vocal, but absolutely terrifying minority that has 139 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: nothing better to do and basically nothing better to live 140 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: for than to take on these causes because it somehow 141 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: feeds them or makes them feel worthwhile or gives their 142 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: like meaning or whatever. And they turned it into absolutely 143 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: a religion and an a belief that they enforced the 144 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: religious fervor, which of course means that anything they do 145 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: is justified means to the ends, and they have no 146 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: problems whatsoever destroying people's lives and going scortched earth for 147 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: their very strange, new fangled social religion. Yeah, I'm fond 148 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: of reminding people that in the Russian Civil War, in 149 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: the beginning of the Soviet Union, you know, there were 150 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. The Bolsheviks took on the 151 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: name majority Arrians essentially, even though they never represented any 152 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: majority of any part of the society. Really, in fact, 153 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: that Mensheviks would have had more popular support if anyone 154 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: actually looked at what was going on in the country 155 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: at the time. But they call themselves the majority, and 156 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: then they were just the most committed, ruthless in saying 157 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: radicals and essentially aid all the other fish in the aquarium. 158 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: And that's that is how they you know, that is 159 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: how this stuff plays out. That's how it works, Like 160 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: it's not. Actually, I think people sometimes confuse um political 161 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: even in the corporate world, political power with the agreement 162 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: or even a majority agreement of everybody involved. Like you 163 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: have a couple of committed leftist Marxist types in the 164 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: upper echelons of a university of a corporation, and they 165 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: can turn the whole place upside down. That's that's the 166 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: actual reality I think that people see. And also the 167 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: d on the on the d E side, you know, 168 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: they they're hiring and hiring based upon these very explicit 169 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: criteria of you know, gender and identity, diversity and racial diversity, 170 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: all these different things. Well that has an effect too, right, 171 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: I mean the CEOs of these companies, whether it's you know, 172 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Twitter or Disney, are scared of the twenty five year olds, uh, 173 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, threatening to state some kind of walk out 174 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: and create bad press. I mean the twenty five yearlds 175 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: who worked for them, right, yeah, yeah, they are. Yeah, 176 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: it's it's the it's the insane braddy children who are 177 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: running the asylum. And you know, I remember this back 178 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: when I was working in liberal media and it was 179 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, the the the older editors who were maybe 180 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: a few years older than me were very liberal, but 181 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: not insane and definitely not woke, and would certainly support 182 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: having a more conservative view in their publications or at 183 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: least you know, willing to do that. Um and and 184 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: things that I would write that were maybe more conservative 185 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: they defended. But you would see the twenty five year 186 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: olds in the office literally signing online petitions against publicly 187 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: against their employers, saying that they don't support this and 188 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: this is hateful and blah blah blah blah blah, and 189 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: it's just so astounding to me. I could never imagine 190 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: going against your boss like that, even if you disagree. 191 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: But these young people have absolutely no qualms because they 192 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: know they have the mob to back them up and 193 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: back to what you're earlier, not just with Russia. I mean, 194 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: it's as far as I know your your background, and 195 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: this is much better than mind. Almost every time there's 196 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: been some sort of violent, sudden revolutionary Marxist takeover of 197 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: any country, it's always been that tiny percent. Then pretend 198 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: that their majority correct every single time. That is, you're 199 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: one hundred. That is the playbook these these extreme and 200 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: they try to co opt other groups who are more moderate. 201 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: In the beginning they say, yeah, this is about the 202 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: people and the workers, and then it's you do what 203 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: we say, we control everything, or relying you up against 204 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: the wall and shoot you. It's always the way, it's 205 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: always the way that this stuff actually goes. But you know, 206 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: people power to the people. Sure, Um, I want to 207 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: ask you chat about the h the activist lgbt Q 208 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: community and the gay community specifically, and how this drag 209 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: Queen Story Hour for kids thing is somehow always being 210 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: turned into the struggle for like by democrats and by 211 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: activists that they always compare this to like the struggle 212 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: for gay rights.

Explain this to me 244 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:36,359 Speaker 1: as a gay man. What is the response of the majority? 245 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: Would you say of your friends who are also from 246 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community when you have Joe Biden say you 247 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: know what we have to do about transgender surgery for kids. 248 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: We have to, you know, do a thing like we 249 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: did for marriage equality. And I'm sitting here and I 250 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: just I'm like a thirteen year old having puberty blockers 251 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: and a double misstactum because she thinks that she's actually 252 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: a man is a very different thing than two consenting 253 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: adults who want to get married. I mean, I think, whatever, 254 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: one thing, I think that's pretty straightforward, but there's always 255 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: this effort to connect these things. Yeah. So the reaction 256 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: of the gays, you know, publicly is obviously petrified silence, 257 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: because of course they're terrified of saying anything that goes 258 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: against once again, that vocal minority we are just discussing. 259 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: But privately it's horrifying. Any I mean not just any, 260 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean any normal, sane person, and of course there 261 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: are plenty, not all, but plenty of normal saying gay 262 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: people would look at this on so many levels as 263 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: the disgusting Joseph Mangla level experiment that it is on children, 264 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: this transgender beautiful mutilation, mutilating, mutilating, excuse me of kids. 265 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: One thing though, that is sort of particular to the 266 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: gays that they rarely, almost never would say in public, 267 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: but absolutely one hundred percent say in private, is this 268 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: looks like conversion therapy. It looks like medicalized conversion therapy. 269 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: It looks you see I think you see a lot 270 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: of gay people saying, like, you know, I was maybe 271 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: a more feminine little boy, or maybe I was a 272 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: more butch little girl, like a little tomboy. And what 273 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: if I had had some Harvard professor parents that said, well, 274 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, you can be a boy, you could be 275 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: the other sex if you're actually what you might actually 276 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: be that, how would I reacted? I probably would have said, oh, yeah, 277 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that sounds great, Yes, let's do it. And then absolutely, 278 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: you know, signed yourself up for a life of medical 279 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: dependency and mutilation and sterility and everything that comes with 280 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: that in psychological care. So it's really scary and discussing 281 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: on that end, you know. And I think it's interesting. 282 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: Is the country in the world that performs the most 283 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: sex change operations, well, the second most the versus Thailand. 284 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: The country forms the second most sex change operations is Iran, 285 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: where of course it's illegal to be gay, they will 286 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: kill you. And the reason for that is the g 287 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: based for sex change operations because they look at it 288 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: as a cure for your homosexuality. So that's interesting when 289 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: we're thinking about what's happening here with the left, with 290 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: this whole it's It's so bizarre because the people who 291 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: are pushing this stuff, it's it's mostly trans old transactivists 292 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: who started too late, so they don't quite look the 293 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: way they think that they should look, think that if 294 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: they had just started as children, their lives would be perfect. 295 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: And then you have straight people, and particularly straight liberal moms, 296 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: that are really pushing this. It's almost like they want 297 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: a little transgender pet that they can show off at 298 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: cocktail parties. They want to feel special and unique and 299 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: diverse by having this in their family. Maybe it's like 300 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: a kind of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. I don't know. 301 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: But you have these parents who are pushing this, and 302 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: it's so pathetic and so strange. And you see these 303 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: moms taking their kids to drag shows like they believe 304 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: and I truly think that they believe it's some sort 305 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: of civil rights crusade that they're embarking on by taking 306 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: their children, their toddlers to see half naked gay clowns 307 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: dancing around to pop music. They almost think like they're 308 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: marching on Selma or something. It's super strange. But the 309 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: only thing that does same with the transcept the Drag 310 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: Queen Story Hour it hurts gay rights, it hurts gay people. 311 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: You might have very conservative people who have no problem 312 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: with gays. They got a gay neighbor, a gay hairdresser 313 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: who knows no problem, live and let live attitude. But 314 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: then you have this being forced upon society and this 315 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: becomes a face of gay Now you have to bring 316 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: your kids to a drag show and no one can 317 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: support that. It actually creates more discord and more hatred. 318 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: If there is any towards the gay community, it's something. 319 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: It's a truly bizarre and sixth situation. I also think 320 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: it's interesting that, like so many arguments made by the 321 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: left and by the activist class of the left, they 322 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: went from this isn't really happening. Why are you so 323 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: focused on it too? Now it's all over the place. 324 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean the the Attorney General for the State of 325 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: New York, Latiia James, is sponsoring a drag queen story 326 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: hour for children. Right, Okay, so so we're we're way 327 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: past this. Oh why are you talking about it? It's 328 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: not really a thing. No, No, they've made this a thing. 329 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: And you know, if if a normal like day, you know, 330 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: if a thirty five year old woman wanted to wear 331 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: fish nets and a thong and shake her butt in 332 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: front of five year olds literally as we see in 333 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: these videos and things like four or five year olds 334 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: with their parents, you know, there, I would think there 335 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: was something deeply wrong with that woman. A man with 336 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: like you know is I mean, I get with the 337 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: fish nets and like, you know, the man thighs and 338 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: everything else, shaking is behind in front of small children, 339 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: like this is grotesque. And yet if you if you 340 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: have any you know, Antifa has started showing up protecting 341 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 1: these these things as well. I mean, this has become 342 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: a central cause for the left. And what's amazing is 343 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: that if you take it all the way up the 344 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: White House level, I mean Joe Biden, mister like, I'm 345 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: a Union guy from Delaware, centrist, moderate Democrat grandpa, which 346 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: is all bullcrap, but that's his whole that was the 347 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: whole branding pitch. He's on board with drag Queen Story 348 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Hour for kids and for drag shows for children. Yeah, 349 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: and I keep finding myself thinking, you know, like, uh, like, 350 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: I love drag as adult nightlife entertainment, you know, I 351 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: love uh yeah, love the campiness, and I love you know, 352 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: the rebel try, And I do think that you do 353 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: have some talented drag queens out there. I know a 354 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: lot of straight guys who really enjoy going to the 355 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: cabaret with ladies that are not really much in clothing 356 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: on and who dance sometimes people to dollar bills. But 357 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: they're adults, right of course, And and I just well, 358 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: I never thought I'd see either of these things in 359 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: my lifetime. This bringing children into it is so sick 360 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: and weird. I try to grapple with like, who are 361 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: these drag queens that are doing this that would actually 362 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: perform it or of children? And the best thing I 363 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: can come up with is, I mean, first, if you 364 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: watch the videos and you know anything about drag like, 365 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: they're not. They're not at the top of the totem 366 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: pole when it comes to talent. They're kind of like 367 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: the lower like booker drag queens. So there's that they're 368 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: probably really poor. They're probably like, oh, I need fifty 369 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: bucks and these uh, this library is gonna pay me 370 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: to show up. They're probably extremely low IQ they're not 371 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: very smart people. But also in their mind, I can't 372 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and 373 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: say that they're not all pedophiles, and I know that 374 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: a lot in the right. It's this whole rhetorican's grooming, 375 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: which is, you know, a very real thing. Especially we 376 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: see a thought of teachers. I have to believe that 377 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: they're not all pedophiles, and they're just sort of stupid 378 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: and poor. And also I would think that they have 379 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: some thing in the back of their mind. They think 380 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: that there's some gay kid in the room that's going 381 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: to see them and then feel more comfortable, So I 382 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: think they're doing some sort of good service, or they 383 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: also just a by it on the grounds of well, 384 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm sort of dressed like Beyonce would be dressed, and 385 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: they probably see Beyonce doing this on TV, so it's fine. 386 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: That doesn't excuse any of it. It's grotesque and children 387 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't even need seeing Beyonce doing that. But I struggle 388 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: to understand. I struggle understand why anyone would sign up 389 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: to perform for children in that manner. I get the 390 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: parents who are doing this, and yeah, we haven't even 391 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: do them, But I understand there's psychology, and I think 392 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: they're pathetic for me. But if the if the response 393 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: to this was you know, from from the activists and 394 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: the left and whatever was are fine, you know, no 395 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: more with the kids. We're just gonna do. No one's 396 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: complaining about drag shows for adults. It's like not even 397 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: a thing. And they like to pretend that it's anti 398 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: LGBTQ and anti trans anty. There is nobody on the 399 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: right who is making noise because we weren't making noise 400 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: about drag shows, you know, the last twenty years. Nobody cares. Fine, 401 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: some people like it, some people go to it. That's fine. 402 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: They're adults. For children. We're talking about for kids. And 403 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: what's interesting is that they double down on it. You know, 404 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: even when now it has been called out, they're saying, no, 405 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: this is I mean the attorney general for New York State, right, 406 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this is not some fringe political figure. Uh. 407 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: It's it's really it's it's crazy. What's what's going on? Um? 408 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: And I I think it go ahead? Uh no, well 409 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: I was, I was. Uh no, no, I think I 410 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: lost my show, I thought. Um they oh, oh yeah, yeah, 411 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: well in the same vein. Also, they absolutely love it. 412 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: They absolutely love it because they can cry hatred and oppression. 413 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: You know. Now it's um you know, you see like, 414 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: what's that show Rupulse, Drag Race. I haven't watched a 415 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: long time, but you know all their posts like drag 416 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: is under attack now in this country. It's like, no, 417 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: it's not. It's just the children. But they love this 418 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: because they desperately need fundraising. They desperately need uh things 419 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: to uh to to. They need they need issues, they 420 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: need things that they can say and the status. And 421 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: but what I was gonna say is, you know, the 422 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: the same the same thing kind of happens with the 423 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: books that are in some of the kids libraries. They 424 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: always say the Ron de santists, for example, in Florida, 425 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: is banning books. That's just a lie. It would be 426 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: like saying we're trying to talk about banning drag. No 427 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: one's trying to ban drag shows. It's about the appropriateness 428 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: of a kind of content for children. And did you 429 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: see that he did a p It was brilliant. Rohn 430 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: de Santis did a press conference. They started to put 431 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: up on the screen photos of some of the books 432 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: that were that were being given to these kids from 433 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: their school sharing you know, sharing wall library, whatever they have, 434 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: and it was so pornographic that the news cameras had 435 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: to turn off. Oh yeah, oh oh, the left crying 436 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: about book burning is my favorite thing ever. There's suddenly 437 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: care about speech when it's pornographic graphic novels for five 438 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: years old. Oh now they care about speech. But don't 439 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: you dare crack a joke on Twitter, because then you 440 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: deserve what you're getting as well as to be fired 441 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: from your job. Just wonderful, Just wonderful. And I remember 442 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: the left. This whole recent spade of banning books and 443 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: schools started with the left. I believe it. It It was 444 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: books like Huck Finn and these American classics that use 445 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: words that are now outdated well now, and now they're 446 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: editing them after the fact. As you know, they're going back. 447 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: They're changing, real dull, they're changing.

I'm also 491 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: kind of I'm taking I'm taking the approach of embracing 492 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: boomer media I just love books and magazines and TV 493 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: and radio. I mean, what can I say, I'm doubling 494 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: down on old media. That's what I'm thinking. And socially, 495 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: it's it's I mean, Elon Musk obviously has done a 496 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: better service in this country than any politician has, and 497 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how many years by purchasing Twitter, if 498 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: if he stands by everything that's that he's been doing, 499 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: even just exposing that it was a total that it 500 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: was a totally rigged game, that it was this playground 501 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: of of left wing ideological bias always and at all times. 502 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: But I also feel like there are so many of 503 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: these platforms now and everyone it's just it's you're it's all, 504 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: you're all sort of you know, you're disaggregated. I mean, 505 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: you're It's just like, what are you gonna be posting 506 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: on TikTok? This is why people tell me, like you 507 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: should post more on Instagram. I'm like, what I'm doing 508 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: three hours of radio a day. I gotta prep for 509 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: that show, you know. I'm you know, I'm writing a 510 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: book actually, so I can't talk about it either, But 511 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 1: I got a book underway. I got things I'm you know, 512 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be taking photos of what my breakfast. Like, 513 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm not delusial. I'm not saying you're taking all these 514 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: like selfies, like, hey, everybody like check me out? So Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat. 515 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: But Facebook, by the way, what is Facebook anymore? I 516 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: haven't been on my personal Facebook account in like six 517 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: years at this point. Oh yeah, I mean who's still 518 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: on there? I have to go on there occasionally for 519 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: a client and like check the Facebook and I'm just like, 520 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: what is going on here? Who even runs? Who's looking 521 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: at this stuff? It's so bizarre. What do you think happens? 522 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think it's Are we gonna have 523 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: more of a consolidation in It's funny because they keep 524 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna ban TikTok. This is what they're always 525 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: talking about. I don't understand. I feel like we should 526 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: be able to figure out a way where the data 527 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: is stored on US servers. The Chinese don't have access 528 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: to it, you know, full stop, and there's full transparency. 529 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: Like everyone keeps saying, oh, they're gonna program our kids 530 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: in Beijing's gonna see all this, And I'm like, uh, 531 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: do you guys know what our kids are being programmed 532 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: with anyway. I mean, like, I just you know, I 533 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: think that I don't really see the argument if you 534 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: can create some stop gap where yeah, I mean, we 535 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: don't want all this data sitting on servers in Beijing 536 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. It would be very easy if it was 537 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,239 Speaker 1: on US servers to know if Chinese were accessing this 538 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: in any meaningful way. But I think there's like one 539 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: hundred million people on TikTok or something now in the 540 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: in the US. I mean there's some crazy high number, 541 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: much higher than I thought. Young people are all on it, 542 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: and we're gonna get rid of it, And I'm sitting 543 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: here saying, so what is that? What's left at that point? 544 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Twitter's got some problems. I love what Elon's 545 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: trying to do, but it's just technologically got issues right now. 546 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think we're like, like, 547 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: is TikTok just going to disappear overnight? The way that, Um, 548 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't snapchat. Snapchat still a thing. Snapchat is still 549 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: a thing. I didn't even know a Snapchat was still 550 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: a thing, but I remember it was the thing. I 551 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: always knew Snapchat was going to fall apart, because this 552 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: whole thing about like putting like cat ears on yourself 553 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: once you're older. By the way I use this even 554 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: but even back when I was a single man, you know, 555 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: and you would see like people's on their Instagram that 556 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: their photos and some of them would use their Snapchat 557 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: stuff on it, you know, where they have like the 558 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: you know, the dog nose or the cat ears or whatever. 559 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're I'm like, you're twenty eight, twenty nine 560 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: years You're you're out, you know, you're out of the wadding. Like, yeah, 561 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: if you're twelve years old, you could have your little 562 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: cat filter from Snapchat, but you know, once you get 563 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: to be an adult. There's so I always thought that 564 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Snapchat was was preposterous. And all the other thing too 565 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: is I was like, hey, this it all disappears. It's 566 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: the Internet. It doesn't disappear. It goes somewhere. They have 567 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: whatever you're sending and it goes somewhere. So that was 568 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: the other part of this. It was like, oh, people 569 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: were like, you can just send whatever photos I want 570 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: to be like, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, yeah, oh 571 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: don't worry, it's gonna be totally gone. No, one's story 572 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: and somewhere in Black La. So yeah, I know, I 573 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: just I wonder. You know, I feel like we we've 574 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: had in some ways, it's almost like we finally broke 575 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: into the party here. You know, we finally got past 576 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: the bouncers for social media on the right after being 577 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: really shut out for the last few years. And this 578 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: party is looking kind of dead right now. It's not 579 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: a lot going on. The kegs are running dry, you know, 580 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: they've switched from a live band to like the you know, 581 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: the schlumpy DJ. It's not good, It's true. Maybe a 582 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: part of that is that the left is more they're 583 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: not as fun right now because they're well, they're subdued 584 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: because they got their guy in office. But also they're 585 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: seeing how crazy and insane everything is, so they don't 586 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: have that fervor they did doing the Trump years, which 587 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: made it so fun to torment them and see what 588 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: sort of crazy things they are saying. Maybe if we 589 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: have a Republican president after this one, then the left 590 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: will get newly entertaining and social media. But did you 591 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: get some Trump retweets back in the day. No, I 592 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: never got a Trump reach.
