On this episode, we have our friend Chadwick Moore. 5 00:00:26,537 --> 00:00:30,537 Speaker 1: He is a contributing editor at The Spectator. He is 6 00:00:30,577 --> 00:00:34,337 Speaker 1: a New Yorker man who knows a thing about some stuff, 7 00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:38,257 Speaker 1: or stuff about some things. Chad, Good to see you, Hey, Buck, 8 00:00:38,337 --> 00:00:41,457 Speaker 1: great to be here. All right, man, let's let's let's 9 00:00:41,457 --> 00:00:43,817 Speaker 1: get into this. First off, you wrote a book, so 10 00:00:44,097 --> 00:00:49,177 Speaker 1: you've been sent to diversity training. I gotta wonder, first 11 00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:52,177 Speaker 1: of all, have you ever had to go through diversity training? 12 00:00:52,337 --> 00:00:56,777 Speaker 1: Because I have at many levels. Yes, in college, then 13 00:00:56,777 --> 00:01:00,857 Speaker 1: in the federal government, then local government, the NYPD, and 14 00:01:00,897 --> 00:01:03,217 Speaker 1: then you know, a little bit on the corporate side, 15 00:01:03,217 --> 00:01:06,657 Speaker 1: not as much. So tell me about this, Ah, I 16 00:01:06,697 --> 00:01:11,137 Speaker 1: should have interviewed you for the book. Go to a 17 00:01:11,257 --> 00:01:13,977 Speaker 1: four year public university, so that was four years of 18 00:01:14,017 --> 00:01:17,697 Speaker 1: diversity training even you know, however long ago was I graduated. 19 00:01:18,657 --> 00:01:21,577 Speaker 1: But I've you know, I've I've been so removed from 20 00:01:21,657 --> 00:01:24,217 Speaker 1: the corporate world my whole life. That was sort of 21 00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:26,617 Speaker 1: on purpose. I wanted to design my life, so I 22 00:01:26,657 --> 00:01:29,057 Speaker 1: never had to go into an office. So I was 23 00:01:29,097 --> 00:01:32,217 Speaker 1: really fascinated about what was happening in corporate America because 24 00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:34,097 Speaker 1: I think corporate America is sort of interesting and all 25 00:01:34,137 --> 00:01:38,377 Speaker 1: of it and all of its uh mundane actions and 26 00:01:38,457 --> 00:01:41,337 Speaker 1: I uh, but I did go to diversity training when 27 00:01:41,417 --> 00:01:44,577 Speaker 1: I was writing for magazines, other liberal magazines. I went 28 00:01:44,617 --> 00:01:48,657 Speaker 1: to an NYPD diversity training seminar, which I included in 29 00:01:48,657 --> 00:01:50,697 Speaker 1: the book and wrote about that I've had to go 30 00:01:50,737 --> 00:01:52,577 Speaker 1: to one of those because I worked in the Intel division. 31 00:01:52,617 --> 00:01:55,497 Speaker 1: But keep going, oh yeah, yeah, so you know, and 32 00:01:55,497 --> 00:01:57,737 Speaker 1: it was about yeah, that was that was a really 33 00:01:57,977 --> 00:02:01,577 Speaker 1: fun and interesting experience. But also that was that diversity 34 00:02:01,577 --> 00:02:04,137 Speaker 1: training I went to was in twenty fifteen, and that 35 00:02:04,337 --> 00:02:06,897 Speaker 1: was before the Summer of Our Floyd, which, of course, 36 00:02:07,457 --> 00:02:11,577 Speaker 1: across the spectrum, both in private and in the public sector, 37 00:02:11,817 --> 00:02:17,017 Speaker 1: diversity training took a really nasty, hateful, and very racialized 38 00:02:17,617 --> 00:02:21,417 Speaker 1: take after the riots of summer twenty twenty and after 39 00:02:21,417 --> 00:02:23,377 Speaker 1: George Floyd's death. So a lot of that, A lot 40 00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:25,937 Speaker 1: of the stuff in the book is um I was 41 00:02:25,977 --> 00:02:28,377 Speaker 1: talking to people during this time or immediately right afterwards, 42 00:02:28,377 --> 00:02:30,537 Speaker 1: so they were noticing how things had changed, and how 43 00:02:31,017 --> 00:02:34,417 Speaker 1: HR had sort of ramped up the really sort of 44 00:02:34,657 --> 00:02:38,657 Speaker 1: grotesque racial rhetoric that has no place in well anywhere 45 00:02:38,657 --> 00:02:41,017 Speaker 1: into Sidney, but especially on the job and in the 46 00:02:41,057 --> 00:02:45,097 Speaker 1: public sector. So would you find you wrote this book 47 00:02:45,137 --> 00:02:49,097 Speaker 1: your research the book? Thought, right, that's that's I have 48 00:02:49,137 --> 00:02:52,817 Speaker 1: a feeling we're going on that director. Well, it's interesting 49 00:02:52,857 --> 00:02:54,697 Speaker 1: because you know, I like that fun. So I knew 50 00:02:54,697 --> 00:02:56,297 Speaker 1: this would be a fun thing to write about and 51 00:02:56,377 --> 00:02:59,297 Speaker 1: talk about. And I wanted to mock these people. I 52 00:02:59,297 --> 00:03:01,617 Speaker 1: want to talk about the ridiculousness, and I wanted to 53 00:03:02,017 --> 00:03:05,537 Speaker 1: get everyday people's perspectives. So I talked to guys on 54 00:03:05,577 --> 00:03:07,737 Speaker 1: oh Riggs. I talked to police officers, I talked to 55 00:03:07,737 --> 00:03:10,257 Speaker 1: guys in the military, talk to people who work on 56 00:03:10,297 --> 00:03:14,257 Speaker 1: you know, retail sales floors, it directors, so all walks 57 00:03:14,297 --> 00:03:16,297 Speaker 1: of life across the economy, and just sort of wanted 58 00:03:16,337 --> 00:03:18,817 Speaker 1: to know, like, what's your experience with diversity training? What 59 00:03:19,017 --> 00:03:21,217 Speaker 1: do you think is going on here? And a lot 60 00:03:21,217 --> 00:03:23,857 Speaker 1: of people were, you know, we're so um, it's such 61 00:03:23,897 --> 00:03:25,777 Speaker 1: a part of our society now. They at first they 62 00:03:25,817 --> 00:03:27,817 Speaker 1: would sort of say like, why don't we know why 63 00:03:27,817 --> 00:03:30,777 Speaker 1: you care about this? Stuff. You know, here's what happened, 64 00:03:30,817 --> 00:03:33,457 Speaker 1: Here's that I experienced. And the more they thought about it, 65 00:03:33,497 --> 00:03:35,457 Speaker 1: the more they remember, the more they talked about it, 66 00:03:35,537 --> 00:03:38,457 Speaker 1: the kind of more disturbed they got by what they'd 67 00:03:38,857 --> 00:03:43,337 Speaker 1: sort of been forced to sit through. And also it's 68 00:03:43,497 --> 00:03:46,737 Speaker 1: um you know. But my favorite was this guy who 69 00:03:46,737 --> 00:03:48,817 Speaker 1: I called Jeremy. Of course, nobody I interviewed wanted to 70 00:03:48,817 --> 00:03:50,737 Speaker 1: be identified by name because they're all scared of being 71 00:03:50,777 --> 00:03:53,337 Speaker 1: fired from their jobs if they speak about these things. 72 00:03:53,617 --> 00:03:55,897 Speaker 1: But he worked on an oil rig. He works on 73 00:03:55,937 --> 00:03:59,257 Speaker 1: an oil rig off the of the coast of Newfoundland 74 00:03:59,297 --> 00:04:02,057 Speaker 1: and Canada in the Atlantic Ocean. And the first thing 75 00:04:02,057 --> 00:04:04,057 Speaker 1: he says to me is, I you know, I said, 76 00:04:04,057 --> 00:04:05,817 Speaker 1: so tell me about what's happening on the job with 77 00:04:05,897 --> 00:04:08,577 Speaker 1: the diversity training. He said, well, just yesterday, we had 78 00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:12,057 Speaker 1: pink shirt day on the rig and I'm like, excuse me, Yeah, 79 00:04:12,097 --> 00:04:13,777 Speaker 1: all these guys in the oil rig had to wear 80 00:04:13,857 --> 00:04:16,937 Speaker 1: pink shirts for some diversity cause. And this was during COVID, 81 00:04:16,937 --> 00:04:19,737 Speaker 1: so they hand out pink face masks and then they 82 00:04:19,777 --> 00:04:21,097 Speaker 1: had to take pictures off. I'd win in the pink 83 00:04:21,097 --> 00:04:23,497 Speaker 1: shirts to send it to corporate, because corporate, you know, 84 00:04:23,737 --> 00:04:26,817 Speaker 1: it's the oil industry, so of course they're in the 85 00:04:26,817 --> 00:04:32,057 Speaker 1: crosshairs of Canada's liberal government. The Resources Minister of Canada 86 00:04:32,257 --> 00:04:36,297 Speaker 1: is from that areas. He's representative from Newfoundland, so they 87 00:04:36,377 --> 00:04:39,817 Speaker 1: really got to like, you know, cozy up. The way 88 00:04:39,857 --> 00:04:42,097 Speaker 1: that the oil industry in particular, and I documented this 89 00:04:42,137 --> 00:04:45,137 Speaker 1: not just in Canada but around the world. One way 90 00:04:45,177 --> 00:04:48,097 Speaker 1: the oil industry is casing up to liberal governments is 91 00:04:48,097 --> 00:04:50,857 Speaker 1: through this diversity stuff. You know, there's a gay pride 92 00:04:50,937 --> 00:04:53,657 Speaker 1: is very big in the oil industry. For these guys 93 00:04:53,697 --> 00:04:55,617 Speaker 1: on oil rigs. They have to wear gay pride t 94 00:04:55,777 --> 00:04:59,377 Speaker 1: shirts and June and take a photo the Canadian Resource Minister, 95 00:04:59,457 --> 00:05:01,497 Speaker 1: who I just spoke about. This guy's in charge of 96 00:05:01,497 --> 00:05:04,857 Speaker 1: of course handing out all the dueling contracts. He's openly 97 00:05:04,897 --> 00:05:06,577 Speaker 1: gay and it's a big deal for him. So and 98 00:05:06,657 --> 00:05:08,977 Speaker 1: you start looking at things like that. That's just one example. 99 00:05:09,177 --> 00:05:11,857 Speaker 1: You start to see what corporate America gets out of 100 00:05:11,857 --> 00:05:13,977 Speaker 1: all this stuff. You know, we talk about like why 101 00:05:14,097 --> 00:05:17,417 Speaker 1: is corporate America so woke? Obviously, like the CC suite 102 00:05:17,457 --> 00:05:22,097 Speaker 1: executives are probably conservative, they're probably conservative people, but yet 103 00:05:22,097 --> 00:05:25,697 Speaker 1: they let their corporations go so completely blindly woke. And 104 00:05:25,737 --> 00:05:28,057 Speaker 1: then you start looking more into the political favors they're 105 00:05:28,057 --> 00:05:30,057 Speaker 1: trying to give game from it, and it starts to 106 00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:33,337 Speaker 1: make a lot more sense judgment from what I've seen 107 00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:37,977 Speaker 1: in the corporate world, and also in the administrative upper 108 00:05:38,017 --> 00:05:42,337 Speaker 1: echelons and academia, and even when the federal government. You know, 109 00:05:42,577 --> 00:05:44,737 Speaker 1: certainly there are there are people. There are many different 110 00:05:44,817 --> 00:05:49,657 Speaker 1: levels of why the politically correct pressure or wokeness, whatever 111 00:05:49,697 --> 00:05:53,217 Speaker 1: people want to call it, why it is so powerful, 112 00:05:53,377 --> 00:05:56,817 Speaker 1: And one of them is that it's really the only way. 113 00:05:56,937 --> 00:05:59,377 Speaker 1: Like once one person on let's say the board of 114 00:05:59,377 --> 00:06:03,137 Speaker 1: a company is a racial Marxist, let's say, or a 115 00:06:03,137 --> 00:06:07,217 Speaker 1: gender Marxist, a woke person, everybody else on that board 116 00:06:07,377 --> 00:06:11,737 Speaker 1: lives in fear because that person wields a certain power 117 00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:14,577 Speaker 1: that can destroy the reputation and possibly career of everybody 118 00:06:14,577 --> 00:06:17,697 Speaker 1: else around them. Just but that's the power that has 119 00:06:17,697 --> 00:06:20,777 Speaker 1: wielded in these rooms. So yeah, you know, the CEO 120 00:06:21,057 --> 00:06:23,177 Speaker 1: maybe is a capitalist, let's just say, and in some 121 00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:24,897 Speaker 1: of these places that's not even really the case. But 122 00:06:24,937 --> 00:06:28,577 Speaker 1: the CEO may be a capitalist. But if his chief 123 00:06:28,657 --> 00:06:32,937 Speaker 1: marketing officer and certainly chief of diversity decides that that 124 00:06:33,097 --> 00:06:36,297 Speaker 1: CEO is insufficiently devoted to the cause can go to 125 00:06:36,337 --> 00:06:38,417 Speaker 1: the board and say, you guys, either get rid of 126 00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:42,977 Speaker 1: the CEO or you're all racist, bigoted and in on 127 00:06:43,017 --> 00:06:45,417 Speaker 1: it too, right, And it's very hard to get for 128 00:06:45,457 --> 00:06:47,657 Speaker 1: a lot of these places, it's actually hard to get fired. 129 00:06:47,977 --> 00:06:50,457 Speaker 1: The only way you get fired is by upsetting d 130 00:06:50,617 --> 00:06:55,977 Speaker 1: Ei in HR. Yeah, that's exactly right. And if there's 131 00:06:56,017 --> 00:06:59,577 Speaker 1: one thing that top executives never ever want, it's to 132 00:06:59,657 --> 00:07:01,297 Speaker 1: be the subject of a Twitter mob or to have 133 00:07:01,297 --> 00:07:03,617 Speaker 1: their face in the paper, unless it's, of course, some 134 00:07:03,777 --> 00:07:06,937 Speaker 1: fluffy business article praising them for great leadership. So they 135 00:07:06,977 --> 00:07:09,297 Speaker 1: will do anything to avoid that sort of attention. It 136 00:07:09,337 --> 00:07:13,017 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're what their political persuasions are. But 137 00:07:13,377 --> 00:07:16,217 Speaker 1: you're you're right when you mentioned that one person on 138 00:07:16,257 --> 00:07:18,097 Speaker 1: the board, because that's just sort of a microcosm for 139 00:07:18,097 --> 00:07:21,817 Speaker 1: our society that we're living in anyway, where there's the tiny, tiny, vocal, 140 00:07:21,857 --> 00:07:25,937 Speaker 1: but absolutely terrifying minority that has nothing better to do 141 00:07:25,977 --> 00:07:28,937 Speaker 1: and basically nothing better to live for than to take 142 00:07:28,977 --> 00:07:31,737 Speaker 1: on these causes because it somehow feeds them or makes 143 00:07:31,737 --> 00:07:34,017 Speaker 1: them feel worthwhile or gives their like meaning or whatever. 144 00:07:34,297 --> 00:07:37,977 Speaker 1: And they turned it into absolutely a religion and an 145 00:07:37,977 --> 00:07:40,177 Speaker 1: a belief that they enforced with religious fervor, which of 146 00:07:40,217 --> 00:07:43,177 Speaker 1: course means that anything they do is justified means to 147 00:07:43,257 --> 00:07:46,817 Speaker 1: the ends, and they have no problems whatsoever destroying people's 148 00:07:46,857 --> 00:07:52,497 Speaker 1: lives and going scorched earth for their very strange, new 149 00:07:52,577 --> 00:07:56,497 Speaker 1: fangled social religion. Yeah, I'm fond of reminding people that 150 00:07:56,777 --> 00:08:00,457 Speaker 1: in the Russian Civil War, in the beginning of the 151 00:08:00,457 --> 00:08:03,097 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, you know, there were the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. 152 00:08:03,257 --> 00:08:07,777 Speaker 1: The Bolsheviks took on the name majority Arrians essentially, even 153 00:08:07,777 --> 00:08:10,337 Speaker 1: though they never represented any majority of any part of 154 00:08:10,337 --> 00:08:12,817 Speaker 1: the society. Really, in fact, that Mensheviks would have had 155 00:08:12,817 --> 00:08:15,457 Speaker 1: more popular support if anyone actually looked at what was 156 00:08:15,497 --> 00:08:17,457 Speaker 1: going on in the country at the time. But they 157 00:08:17,457 --> 00:08:20,457 Speaker 1: call themselves the majority, and then they were just the 158 00:08:20,497 --> 00:08:23,977 Speaker 1: most committed, ruthless and saying radicals and essentially aid all 159 00:08:23,977 --> 00:08:26,617 Speaker 1: the other fish in the aquarium. And that's that is 160 00:08:26,657 --> 00:08:29,177 Speaker 1: how they you know, that is how this stuff plays out, 161 00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:31,417 Speaker 1: That's how it works, Like it's not. Actually, I think 162 00:08:31,417 --> 00:08:36,497 Speaker 1: people sometimes confuse u political even in the corporate world, 163 00:08:36,497 --> 00:08:40,937 Speaker 1: political power with the agreement or even a majority agreement 164 00:08:40,977 --> 00:08:44,457 Speaker 1: of everybody involved. Like you have a couple of committed 165 00:08:44,817 --> 00:08:49,937 Speaker 1: leftist Marxist types in the upper echelons of a university, 166 00:08:50,617 --> 00:08:53,657 Speaker 1: of a corporation, and they can turn the whole place 167 00:08:53,737 --> 00:08:56,297 Speaker 1: upside down. That's that's the actual reality I think that 168 00:08:56,337 --> 00:08:59,137 Speaker 1: people see. And also the d on the on the 169 00:08:59,377 --> 00:09:02,697 Speaker 1: d E side, you know, they they're hiring and hiring 170 00:09:02,737 --> 00:09:05,897 Speaker 1: based upon these very explicit criteria of you know, gender 171 00:09:05,937 --> 00:09:09,457 Speaker 1: and identity diversity and racial diversity, all these different things. Well, 172 00:09:09,497 --> 00:09:12,697 Speaker 1: that hasn't too right. I mean, the CEOs of these companies, 173 00:09:12,897 --> 00:09:16,057 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Twitter or Disney, are scared of 174 00:09:16,057 --> 00:09:19,737 Speaker 1: the twenty five year olds, you know, threatening the stage 175 00:09:19,737 --> 00:09:21,697 Speaker 1: some kind of a walkout and create bad press. I 176 00:09:21,697 --> 00:09:25,537 Speaker 1: mean the twenty five year olds who worked for them, right, yeah, 177 00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:28,697 Speaker 1: yeah they are. Yeah, it's it's the it's the insane 178 00:09:28,737 --> 00:09:31,977 Speaker 1: braddy children who are running the asylum. And and you know, 179 00:09:32,017 --> 00:09:34,577 Speaker 1: I remember this back when I was working in liberal 180 00:09:34,617 --> 00:09:38,137 Speaker 1: media and it was you know, the the the older 181 00:09:38,537 --> 00:09:40,377 Speaker 1: editors who were maybe a few years older than me 182 00:09:40,617 --> 00:09:45,617 Speaker 1: were very liberal, but not insane and definitely not woke 183 00:09:45,697 --> 00:09:49,697 Speaker 1: and would certainly support having a more conservative view in 184 00:09:49,697 --> 00:09:52,897 Speaker 1: their publications or at least you know, willing to do that. Um, 185 00:09:53,057 --> 00:09:55,577 Speaker 1: and and things that I would write that were maybe 186 00:09:55,617 --> 00:09:58,017 Speaker 1: more conservative, they defended. But you would see the twenty 187 00:09:58,017 --> 00:10:01,577 Speaker 1: five year olds in the office literally signing online petitions 188 00:10:01,617 --> 00:10:04,977 Speaker 1: against publicly against their employers, saying that they don't support 189 00:10:04,977 --> 00:10:07,217 Speaker 1: this and this is hateful and blah blah blah blah blah, 190 00:10:07,257 --> 00:10:09,817 Speaker 1: and it's just so astounding to me. I could never 191 00:10:09,857 --> 00:10:13,177 Speaker 1: met going against your boss like that, even if you disagree. 192 00:10:13,257 --> 00:10:15,657 Speaker 1: But these young people have absolutely no qualms because they 193 00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:17,897 Speaker 1: know they have the mob to back them up and 194 00:10:18,497 --> 00:10:21,497 Speaker 1: back to um what you're mentioning earlier, not just with Russia. 195 00:10:21,537 --> 00:10:24,017 Speaker 1: I mean, it's as far as I know your your background, 196 00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:26,177 Speaker 1: and this is much better than mind. Almost every time 197 00:10:26,217 --> 00:10:30,457 Speaker 1: there's been some sort of violent, sudden revolutionary Marxist takeover 198 00:10:30,457 --> 00:10:33,137 Speaker 1: of any country, it's always been that tiny percent. Then 199 00:10:33,177 --> 00:10:36,137 Speaker 1: pretends that their majority correct every single time. That is 200 00:10:36,217 --> 00:10:39,857 Speaker 1: you're one hundred. That is the playbook these these extreme 201 00:10:40,017 --> 00:10:42,457 Speaker 1: and they try to collopt other groups who are more moderate. 202 00:10:42,457 --> 00:10:44,297 Speaker 1: In the beginning they say, yeah, this is about the 203 00:10:44,297 --> 00:10:47,137 Speaker 1: people and the workers, and then it's you do what 204 00:10:47,177 --> 00:10:49,937 Speaker 1: we say, we control everything, or relying you up against 205 00:10:49,937 --> 00:10:51,817 Speaker 1: the wall and shoot you. It's always it's always the 206 00:10:51,857 --> 00:10:54,097 Speaker 1: way that this stuff actually goes. But you know, people 207 00:10:54,417 --> 00:10:56,697 Speaker 1: power to the people.

What is the response of the majority. 246 00:12:56,537 --> 00:12:59,977 Speaker 1: Would you say of your friends who are also from 247 00:12:59,977 --> 00:13:05,577 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community When you have Joe Biden say you 248 00:13:05,617 --> 00:13:09,097 Speaker 1: know what we have to do about transgender surgery for kids, 249 00:13:09,577 --> 00:13:11,737 Speaker 1: we have to, you know, do a thing like we 250 00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:14,857 Speaker 1: did for marriage equality. And I'm sitting here and I 251 00:13:14,977 --> 00:13:19,177 Speaker 1: just I'm like a thirteen year old having puberty blockers 252 00:13:19,177 --> 00:13:21,177 Speaker 1: and a double mistact to me because she thinks that 253 00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:25,497 Speaker 1: she's actually a man is a very different thing than 254 00:13:25,857 --> 00:13:29,777 Speaker 1: two consenting adults who want to get married. I mean, 255 00:13:29,777 --> 00:13:32,617 Speaker 1: I think whatever, one thing, I think that's pretty straightforward, 256 00:13:33,057 --> 00:13:38,377 Speaker 1: but there's always this effort to connect these things. Yeah, 257 00:13:38,377 --> 00:13:42,617 Speaker 1: So the reaction of the gays, you know, publicly is 258 00:13:42,657 --> 00:13:48,417 Speaker 1: obviously petrified silence, because of course they're terrified of saying 259 00:13:48,417 --> 00:13:51,937 Speaker 1: anything that goes against once again, that vocal minority we 260 00:13:51,977 --> 00:13:55,737 Speaker 1: are just discussing. But privately it's horrifying any I mean 261 00:13:55,737 --> 00:13:58,577 Speaker 1: not just any, I mean any normal, sane person, and 262 00:13:58,657 --> 00:14:01,017 Speaker 1: of course there are plenty, not all, but plenty of 263 00:14:01,337 --> 00:14:04,257 Speaker 1: normal saying gay people would look at this on so 264 00:14:04,337 --> 00:14:08,977 Speaker 1: many levels as the disgusting Joseph Mangla level experiment that 265 00:14:09,097 --> 00:14:13,977 Speaker 1: it is on this transgender uti mutilation, mutila mutilating, excuse 266 00:14:14,017 --> 00:14:17,017 Speaker 1: me of kids. One thing though, that is sort of 267 00:14:17,057 --> 00:14:22,017 Speaker 1: particular to the gays that they rarely, almost never would 268 00:14:22,017 --> 00:14:24,817 Speaker 1: say in public, but absolutely one hundred percent say in private, 269 00:14:25,017 --> 00:14:27,697 Speaker 1: is this looks like conversion therapy. It looks like medicalized 270 00:14:27,737 --> 00:14:30,337 Speaker 1: conversion therapy. It looks you see, I think you see 271 00:14:30,337 --> 00:14:32,297 Speaker 1: a lot of gay people saying, like, you know, I 272 00:14:32,497 --> 00:14:36,377 Speaker 1: was maybe a more feminine little boy, or maybe I 273 00:14:36,457 --> 00:14:39,177 Speaker 1: was a more butch little girl, like a little tomboy. 274 00:14:39,537 --> 00:14:42,897 Speaker 1: And what if I had had some Harvard professor parents 275 00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:44,617 Speaker 1: that said, well, you know, you can be a boy, 276 00:14:44,737 --> 00:14:46,097 Speaker 1: you could be the other sex if you actually what 277 00:14:46,217 --> 00:14:48,537 Speaker 1: you might actually be that, how would I reacted? I 278 00:14:48,577 --> 00:14:50,497 Speaker 1: probably would have said, oh, yeah, that sounds great, Yes, 279 00:14:50,537 --> 00:14:54,137 Speaker 1: let's do it. And then absolutely, you know, signed yourself 280 00:14:54,217 --> 00:14:58,337 Speaker 1: up for a life of medical dependency and mutilation and 281 00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:01,657 Speaker 1: sterility and everything that comes with that and psychological care. 282 00:15:02,337 --> 00:15:04,817 Speaker 1: So it's really scary and discussing on that. And you know, 283 00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:06,657 Speaker 1: an I think it's interesting is the country in the 284 00:15:06,657 --> 00:15:09,737 Speaker 1: world that performs the most sex change operations, well the 285 00:15:10,097 --> 00:15:13,177 Speaker 1: at most versus Thailand. The country forms of second sex 286 00:15:13,257 --> 00:15:16,937 Speaker 1: change operations is Iran, where of course it's illegal to 287 00:15:16,937 --> 00:15:19,377 Speaker 1: be gay. They will kill you. And the reason for 288 00:15:19,417 --> 00:15:22,577 Speaker 1: that is the government based for sex change operations because 289 00:15:22,617 --> 00:15:25,497 Speaker 1: they look at it as a cure for your homosexuality. 290 00:15:26,577 --> 00:15:29,697 Speaker 1: So that's interesting when we're thinking about what's happening here 291 00:15:30,457 --> 00:15:33,417 Speaker 1: with the left, But this whole it's it's so bizarre 292 00:15:33,457 --> 00:15:37,577 Speaker 1: because the people who are pushing this stuff, it's it's 293 00:15:37,777 --> 00:15:45,377 Speaker 1: it's mostly trans old transactivists who started too late, so 294 00:15:45,417 --> 00:15:48,257 Speaker 1: they don't quite look the way they think that they 295 00:15:48,297 --> 00:15:51,057 Speaker 1: should look, think that if they had just started as children, 296 00:15:51,097 --> 00:15:53,937 Speaker 1: their lives would be perfect. And then you have straight 297 00:15:53,977 --> 00:15:57,457 Speaker 1: people and particularly straight liberal moms that are really pushing this. 298 00:15:57,537 --> 00:16:00,817 Speaker 1: It's almost like they want a little transgender pet that 299 00:16:00,817 --> 00:16:03,017 Speaker 1: they can show off at cocktail parties. They want to 300 00:16:03,017 --> 00:16:05,937 Speaker 1: feel special and unique and diverse by having this in 301 00:16:05,977 --> 00:16:08,777 Speaker 1: their family. Maybe it's like a kind of Munchausen syndrome 302 00:16:08,857 --> 00:16:10,977 Speaker 1: by proxy. I don't know. But you have these parents 303 00:16:11,017 --> 00:16:13,537 Speaker 1: who are pushing this, and it's so pathetic and so strange. 304 00:16:13,577 --> 00:16:16,857 Speaker 1: And you see these moms taking their kids to drag 305 00:16:16,937 --> 00:16:20,137 Speaker 1: shows like they believe and I truly think that they 306 00:16:20,137 --> 00:16:23,897 Speaker 1: believe it's some sort of civil rights crusade that they're 307 00:16:23,897 --> 00:16:27,577 Speaker 1: embarking on by taking their children and their toddlers to 308 00:16:27,737 --> 00:16:30,977 Speaker 1: see half naked gay clowns dancing around to pop music. 309 00:16:31,177 --> 00:16:33,377 Speaker 1: They almost think like they're marching on Selma or something. 310 00:16:33,857 --> 00:16:36,457 Speaker 1: It's super strange. But the only thing that does same 311 00:16:36,497 --> 00:16:39,377 Speaker 1: with the transcept the drag Queen Story Hour. It hurts 312 00:16:39,417 --> 00:16:41,617 Speaker 1: gay rights. It hurts gay people. You might have very 313 00:16:41,617 --> 00:16:44,417 Speaker 1: conservative people who have no problem with gays. They got 314 00:16:44,457 --> 00:16:47,257 Speaker 1: a gay neighbor or gay hairdresser who knows no problem, 315 00:16:47,337 --> 00:16:50,257 Speaker 1: live and let live attitude. But then you have this 316 00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:52,937 Speaker 1: being forced upon society and this becomes a face of 317 00:16:53,017 --> 00:16:54,737 Speaker 1: gay Now you have to bring your kids to a 318 00:16:54,817 --> 00:16:58,057 Speaker 1: drag show, and no one can support that. It actually 319 00:16:58,057 --> 00:17:01,577 Speaker 1: creates more discord and more hatred. If there is any 320 00:17:01,577 --> 00:17:06,657 Speaker 1: towards the gay community, it's something. It's a truly bizarre 321 00:17:06,737 --> 00:17:09,217 Speaker 1: and sixth situation. I also think it's interesting that, like 322 00:17:09,297 --> 00:17:11,937 Speaker 1: so many arguments made by the left and by the 323 00:17:11,937 --> 00:17:16,817 Speaker 1: activist class of the left, they went from this isn't 324 00:17:16,817 --> 00:17:19,097 Speaker 1: really happening. Why are you so focused on it too? 325 00:17:19,217 --> 00:17:21,977 Speaker 1: Now it's all over the place. I mean, the the 326 00:17:22,017 --> 00:17:26,057 Speaker 1: Attorney General for the State of New York, Latissa James, 327 00:17:27,057 --> 00:17:32,697 Speaker 1: is sponsoring a drag Queen story hour for children. Right, Okay, 328 00:17:32,817 --> 00:17:35,297 Speaker 1: so so we're no, we're way past this. Oh why 329 00:17:35,297 --> 00:17:37,977 Speaker 1: are you talking about it? It's not really a thing. No, no, 330 00:17:38,417 --> 00:17:42,377 Speaker 1: They've made this a thing. And you know, if if 331 00:17:42,417 --> 00:17:46,457 Speaker 1: a normal like day, you know, if a thirty five 332 00:17:46,577 --> 00:17:49,897 Speaker 1: year old woman wanted to wear fish nets and a 333 00:17:49,937 --> 00:17:53,417 Speaker 1: thong and shake her butt in front of five year 334 00:17:53,457 --> 00:17:56,297 Speaker 1: olds literally as we see in these videos and things 335 00:17:56,337 --> 00:17:59,137 Speaker 1: like four or five year olds with their parents, you know, there, 336 00:17:59,897 --> 00:18:03,057 Speaker 1: I would think there was something deeply wrong with that woman. 337 00:18:03,817 --> 00:18:09,297 Speaker 1: A man with like you know is I mean, I 338 00:18:09,377 --> 00:18:13,377 Speaker 1: can't with the fishnets and like you know, the man 339 00:18:13,417 --> 00:18:16,617 Speaker 1: thighs and everything else, shaking is behind in front of 340 00:18:16,657 --> 00:18:21,217 Speaker 1: small children, like this is grotesque. And yet if you 341 00:18:21,457 --> 00:18:23,737 Speaker 1: if you have any you know, Antifa has started showing 342 00:18:23,777 --> 00:18:26,457 Speaker 1: up protecting these these things as well. I mean, this 343 00:18:26,537 --> 00:18:30,537 Speaker 1: has become a central cause for the left. And what's 344 00:18:30,577 --> 00:18:32,177 Speaker 1: amazing is that if you take it all the way 345 00:18:32,217 --> 00:18:35,657 Speaker 1: up the White House level, I mean Joe Biden, mister like, 346 00:18:35,737 --> 00:18:39,817 Speaker 1: I'm a Union guy from Delaware, centrist, moderate Democrat grandpa, 347 00:18:39,937 --> 00:18:42,337 Speaker 1: which is all bullcrap, but that's his whole that was 348 00:18:42,377 --> 00:18:45,017 Speaker 1: the whole branding pitch. He's on board with drag Queen 349 00:18:45,097 --> 00:18:51,337 Speaker 1: Story Hour for kids and for drag shows for children. Yeah, 350 00:18:51,377 --> 00:18:54,537 Speaker 1: and I keep finding myself thinking, you know, like, uh, 351 00:18:54,577 --> 00:18:59,057 Speaker 1: like I love drag as adult nightlife entertainment. You know, 352 00:18:59,137 --> 00:19:02,457 Speaker 1: I love uh yeah, love the campiness, and I love 353 00:19:02,497 --> 00:19:04,377 Speaker 1: you know, the rebel try. And I do think that 354 00:19:04,457 --> 00:19:06,177 Speaker 1: you do have some talented drag queens out there. I 355 00:19:06,177 --> 00:19:08,177 Speaker 1: know a lot of straight guys you really enjoy going 356 00:19:08,177 --> 00:19:12,417 Speaker 1: to the cabaret he with ladies that are not really 357 00:19:12,497 --> 00:19:15,217 Speaker 1: much in clothing on and who dance sometimes people to 358 00:19:15,417 --> 00:19:19,137 Speaker 1: dollar bills. But they're adults, right of course. And and 359 00:19:19,217 --> 00:19:21,097 Speaker 1: I just well, I never thought i'd see either of 360 00:19:21,097 --> 00:19:23,457 Speaker 1: these things in my lifetime. This bringing children into it 361 00:19:23,497 --> 00:19:26,057 Speaker 1: is so sick and weird. I try to grapple with like, 362 00:19:26,417 --> 00:19:28,897 Speaker 1: who are these drag queens that are doing this that 363 00:19:28,937 --> 00:19:30,817 Speaker 1: would actually perform a part of children? And the best 364 00:19:30,817 --> 00:19:32,857 Speaker 1: thing I can come up with is, I mean, first, 365 00:19:32,897 --> 00:19:34,577 Speaker 1: if you watch the videos and you know anything about 366 00:19:34,617 --> 00:19:37,257 Speaker 1: drag like, they're not They're not at the top of 367 00:19:37,297 --> 00:19:39,417 Speaker 1: the totem pole when it comes to talent. They're kind 368 00:19:39,417 --> 00:19:41,657 Speaker 1: of like the lower like booker drag queens. So there's 369 00:19:41,697 --> 00:19:43,657 Speaker 1: that they're probably really poor. They're probably like, oh, I 370 00:19:43,697 --> 00:19:46,217 Speaker 1: need fifty bucks and these uh, this library is gonna 371 00:19:46,217 --> 00:19:49,697 Speaker 1: pay me to show up. They're probably extremely low IQ 372 00:19:49,977 --> 00:19:52,857 Speaker 1: they're not very smart people. But also in their mind, 373 00:19:53,537 --> 00:19:55,577 Speaker 1: I can't I'm going to give the benefit of the 374 00:19:55,617 --> 00:19:58,937 Speaker 1: doubt and say that they're not all pedophiles, and I 375 00:19:58,977 --> 00:20:00,497 Speaker 1: know that a lot in the right. It's this whole 376 00:20:00,617 --> 00:20:03,857 Speaker 1: Rhetorican's grooming, which is, you know, a very real thing. 377 00:20:03,937 --> 00:20:06,137 Speaker 1: Especially we see a lot of teachers. I have to 378 00:20:06,137 --> 00:20:08,297 Speaker 1: believe that they're not all pedophiles, and they're just sort 379 00:20:08,297 --> 00:20:10,497 Speaker 1: of stupid and poor. And also I I would think 380 00:20:10,537 --> 00:20:13,217 Speaker 1: that they have some thing in the back of their mind. 381 00:20:13,377 --> 00:20:15,137 Speaker 1: They think that there's some gay kid in the room 382 00:20:15,137 --> 00:20:17,017 Speaker 1: that's going to see them and then feel more comfortable, 383 00:20:17,057 --> 00:20:18,577 Speaker 1: So I think they're doing some sort of good service. 384 00:20:18,897 --> 00:20:22,017 Speaker 1: Or they also justify it on the grounds of well, 385 00:20:22,057 --> 00:20:24,417 Speaker 1: I'm sort of dressed like Beyonce would be dressed, and 386 00:20:24,417 --> 00:20:27,617 Speaker 1: they probably see Beyonce doing this on TV, so it's fine. 387 00:20:28,137 --> 00:20:30,337 Speaker 1: That doesn't excuse any of it. It's grotesque and children 388 00:20:30,377 --> 00:20:33,537 Speaker 1: shouldn't even be seeing Beyonce doing that. But I struggle 389 00:20:33,617 --> 00:20:37,577 Speaker 1: to understand. I struggled understand why anyone would sign up 390 00:20:37,617 --> 00:20:41,017 Speaker 1: to perform for children in that manner. I get the 391 00:20:41,097 --> 00:20:44,017 Speaker 1: parents who are doing this, and yeah, we haven't even 392 00:20:44,257 --> 00:20:46,217 Speaker 1: them but I understand their psychology and I think they're 393 00:20:46,217 --> 00:20:49,177 Speaker 1: pathetic for me. But if the if the response to 394 00:20:49,217 --> 00:20:52,697 Speaker 1: this was, you know, from from the activists and the 395 00:20:52,817 --> 00:20:55,457 Speaker 1: left and whatever, was a are fine, you know, no 396 00:20:55,497 --> 00:20:57,737 Speaker 1: more with the kids. We're just gonna do. No one's 397 00:20:57,737 --> 00:21:00,297 Speaker 1: complaining about drag shows for adults. It's like not even 398 00:21:00,297 --> 00:21:02,577 Speaker 1: a thing. And they like to pretend that it's anti 399 00:21:02,697 --> 00:21:06,857 Speaker 1: LGBTQ and anti trans anty. There is nobody on the 400 00:21:06,937 --> 00:21:09,337 Speaker 1: right who is making noise because we weren't making noise 401 00:21:09,337 --> 00:21:12,897 Speaker 1: about drag show, you know, the last twenty years. Nobody cares. Fine, 402 00:21:12,897 --> 00:21:14,737 Speaker 1: some people like it, some people go to it. That's fine. 403 00:21:14,737 --> 00:21:18,257 Speaker 1: They're adults for children. We're talking about for kids. And 404 00:21:18,297 --> 00:21:21,777 Speaker 1: what's interesting is that they double down on it. You know, 405 00:21:21,857 --> 00:21:24,377 Speaker 1: even when now it has been called out, they're saying, no, 406 00:21:24,777 --> 00:21:27,617 Speaker 1: this is I mean the attorney general for New York State, right, 407 00:21:27,657 --> 00:21:30,977 Speaker 1: I mean, this is not some fringe political figure. Uh, 408 00:21:31,137 --> 00:21:34,897 Speaker 1: it's it's really it's it's crazy. What's what's going on? Um? 409 00:21:34,937 --> 00:21:40,497 Speaker 1: And I think that go ahead? Uh no, well I was, 410 00:21:40,577 --> 00:21:43,177 Speaker 1: I was. Uh no, no, I think I've lost my 411 00:21:43,177 --> 00:21:46,857 Speaker 1: show thought. Um they oh oh yeah, yeah, Well in 412 00:21:46,897 --> 00:21:49,497 Speaker 1: the same Vein. Also, they absolutely love it. They absolutely 413 00:21:49,497 --> 00:21:52,857 Speaker 1: love it because they can cry hatred and oppression. You know. 414 00:21:52,977 --> 00:21:55,857 Speaker 1: Now it's um you know, you see like what's that 415 00:21:55,857 --> 00:21:58,017 Speaker 1: show Rupulse Drag Race. So I haven't watched a long time, 416 00:21:58,057 --> 00:22:00,417 Speaker 1: but you know all their posts like drag is under 417 00:22:00,457 --> 00:22:03,377 Speaker 1: attack now in this country. It's like, no, it's not. 418 00:22:03,617 --> 00:22:06,137 Speaker 1: It's just the children. But they love this because they 419 00:22:06,177 --> 00:22:12,537 Speaker 1: desperately need fundraising. They desperately need uh things to uh to. 420 00:22:13,937 --> 00:22:15,857 Speaker 1: They need they need issues, they need things that they 421 00:22:15,857 --> 00:22:18,297 Speaker 1: can say and they can play victims status. And what 422 00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:20,817 Speaker 1: I was gonna say is, you know, the the same 423 00:22:20,857 --> 00:22:23,857 Speaker 1: the same thing kind of happens with the books that 424 00:22:23,937 --> 00:22:26,937 Speaker 1: are in some of the kids libraries. They always say 425 00:22:27,017 --> 00:22:30,017 Speaker 1: the Rohn de Santists, for example in Florida, is banning books. 426 00:22:30,977 --> 00:22:33,097 Speaker 1: That's just a lie. It would be like saying we're 427 00:22:33,097 --> 00:22:35,057 Speaker 1: trying to talk about banning drag. No one's trying to 428 00:22:35,137 --> 00:22:38,937 Speaker 1: ban drag shows. It's about the appropriateness of a kind 429 00:22:38,977 --> 00:22:42,097 Speaker 1: of content for children. And did you see that he 430 00:22:42,137 --> 00:22:43,737 Speaker 1: did a press It was brilliant. Rohnd de Santis did 431 00:22:43,737 --> 00:22:45,857 Speaker 1: a press conference. They started to put up on the 432 00:22:45,897 --> 00:22:49,977 Speaker 1: screen photos of some of the books that were that 433 00:22:50,017 --> 00:22:52,537 Speaker 1: were being given to these kids from their school sharing 434 00:22:52,657 --> 00:22:56,257 Speaker 1: you know, sharing wall library whatever they have, and it 435 00:22:56,297 --> 00:22:59,857 Speaker 1: was so pornographic that the news cameras had to turn off. 436 00:23:00,897 --> 00:23:04,777 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh oh. The Left crying about book burning 437 00:23:04,897 --> 00:23:08,417 Speaker 1: is my favorite thing ever. There's suddenly care about speech 438 00:23:08,417 --> 00:23:12,697 Speaker 1: when it's u pernup pornographic graphic novels for five years old. 439 00:23:12,737 --> 00:23:14,697 Speaker 1: Oh now they care about speech.

And I remember the left. This 443 00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:26,017 Speaker 1: whole recent spade of banning books and schools started with 444 00:23:26,057 --> 00:23:27,977 Speaker 1: the left. I believe it. It It was books like Huck 445 00:23:28,057 --> 00:23:31,137 Speaker 1: Finn and these American classics that use words that are 446 00:23:31,177 --> 00:23:33,257 Speaker 1: now outdated well now, and now they're editing them after 447 00:23:33,297 --> 00:23:35,137 Speaker 1: the fact, as you know, they're going back.

I just love books and 494 00:25:43,817 --> 00:25:47,017 Speaker 1: magazines and TV and radio. I mean, what can I say, 495 00:25:47,497 --> 00:25:51,377 Speaker 1: I'm doubling down on old media, That's what I'm thinking. 496 00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:54,697 Speaker 1: And social it's it's I mean, Elon Musk obviously has 497 00:25:54,737 --> 00:25:58,137 Speaker 1: done a better service in this country than any politician has, 498 00:25:58,137 --> 00:25:59,977 Speaker 1: and I don't know how many years by purchasing Twitter, 499 00:26:01,257 --> 00:26:03,857 Speaker 1: if he stands by everything that's that he's been doing, 500 00:26:04,097 --> 00:26:06,537 Speaker 1: even just exposing that it was a total that it 501 00:26:06,657 --> 00:26:09,617 Speaker 1: was a totally rigged game, that it was this playground 502 00:26:09,657 --> 00:26:15,657 Speaker 1: of left wing ideological bias always and at all times. Um. 503 00:26:15,857 --> 00:26:17,777 Speaker 1: But I also feel like there are so many of 504 00:26:17,777 --> 00:26:21,577 Speaker 1: these platforms now and everyone's just it's you're it's all, 505 00:26:21,737 --> 00:26:24,697 Speaker 1: You're all sort of you know, you're disaggregated. I mean, 506 00:26:24,697 --> 00:26:27,217 Speaker 1: you're it's just like, what are you gonna be posting 507 00:26:27,217 --> 00:26:28,897 Speaker 1: on TikTok? This is why people tell me, like, you 508 00:26:28,897 --> 00:26:31,817 Speaker 1: should post more on Instagram. I'm like, what I'm doing 509 00:26:32,337 --> 00:26:34,697 Speaker 1: three hours of radio a day. I gotta prep for 510 00:26:34,777 --> 00:26:37,737 Speaker 1: that show. You know, I'm you know, I'm writing a 511 00:26:37,777 --> 00:26:40,617 Speaker 1: book actually, so I can't talk about it either. But 512 00:26:40,697 --> 00:26:42,857 Speaker 1: I got a book underway, I got things. I'm you know, 513 00:26:43,257 --> 00:26:45,737 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be taking photos of what my breakfast like, 514 00:26:46,217 --> 00:26:48,297 Speaker 1: I'm not delusual. I'm not saying you're taking all these 515 00:26:48,337 --> 00:26:55,057 Speaker 1: like selfies, like, hey, everybody like check me out? So Instagram, TikTok, snapchat. Facebook. 516 00:26:55,097 --> 00:26:58,897 Speaker 1: By the way, what is Facebook anymore? I haven't been 517 00:26:58,897 --> 00:27:01,657 Speaker 1: on my personal Facebook account in like six years at 518 00:27:01,697 --> 00:27:04,777 Speaker 1: this point. Oh yeah, I mean, who's still on there? 519 00:27:05,337 --> 00:27:08,817 Speaker 1: I have to go on there occasionally for a client 520 00:27:08,897 --> 00:27:10,577 Speaker 1: and like check the Facebook, and I'm just like, what 521 00:27:10,697 --> 00:27:13,057 Speaker 1: is going on here? Who even runs? Who's looking at 522 00:27:13,057 --> 00:27:15,297 Speaker 1: this stuff? It's so bizarre, Just well, what do you 523 00:27:15,297 --> 00:27:17,057 Speaker 1: think happens? I mean, do you think it's Are we 524 00:27:17,097 --> 00:27:21,737 Speaker 1: gonna have more of a consolidation in It's funny because 525 00:27:21,737 --> 00:27:23,537 Speaker 1: they keep saying they're gonna ban TikTok, this is what 526 00:27:23,577 --> 00:27:26,537 Speaker 1: they're always talking about. I don't understand. I feel like 527 00:27:26,537 --> 00:27:28,897 Speaker 1: we should be able to figure out a way where 528 00:27:28,937 --> 00:27:31,177 Speaker 1: the data is stored on US servers. The Chinese don't 529 00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:33,057 Speaker 1: have access to it, you know, full stop, And there's 530 00:27:33,057 --> 00:27:35,817 Speaker 1: full transparency. Like everyone keeps saying, oh, they're gonna program 531 00:27:35,817 --> 00:27:37,937 Speaker 1: our kids in Beijing's gonna see all this, And I'm like, uh, 532 00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:40,257 Speaker 1: do you guys know what our kids are being programmed 533 00:27:40,257 --> 00:27:41,577 Speaker 1: with anyway? I mean, like, I just you know, I 534 00:27:41,937 --> 00:27:45,617 Speaker 1: think that I don't really see the argument if you 535 00:27:45,617 --> 00:27:48,017 Speaker 1: can create some stop gap where yeah, I mean, we 536 00:27:48,017 --> 00:27:50,377 Speaker 1: don't want all this data sitting on servers in Beijing 537 00:27:50,457 --> 00:27:53,097 Speaker 1: or whatever. It would be very easy if it was 538 00:27:53,097 --> 00:27:56,377 Speaker 1: on US servers to know if Chinese were accessing this 539 00:27:56,417 --> 00:27:59,297 Speaker 1: in any meaningful way. But I think there's like one 540 00:27:59,337 --> 00:28:02,377 Speaker 1: hundred million people on TikTok or something now in the 541 00:28:02,417 --> 00:28:04,417 Speaker 1: in the US. I mean there's some crazy high number, 542 00:28:04,497 --> 00:28:07,497 Speaker 1: much higher than I thought. Young people are all on it, 543 00:28:07,737 --> 00:28:09,577 Speaker 1: and we're gonna get rid of it. And I'm sitting 544 00:28:09,617 --> 00:28:11,817 Speaker 1: here saying, so what what is that? What's left at 545 00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,217 Speaker 1: that point? I mean, Twitter's got some problems. I love 546 00:28:14,217 --> 00:28:16,937 Speaker 1: what Elon's trying to do, but it's just technologically got 547 00:28:16,977 --> 00:28:19,977 Speaker 1: issues right now. I don't know. I mean I think 548 00:28:19,977 --> 00:28:23,177 Speaker 1: we're like, like, is TikTok just going to disappear overnight? 549 00:28:23,257 --> 00:28:28,577 Speaker 1: The way that um, I don't snapchat. Snapchat still a thing. 550 00:28:28,737 --> 00:28:31,177 Speaker 1: Snapchat is still a thing. I didn't even know a 551 00:28:31,177 --> 00:28:33,097 Speaker 1: Snapchat was still a thing, but I remember it was 552 00:28:33,177 --> 00:28:35,497 Speaker 1: d thing. I always knew Snapchat was going to fall 553 00:28:35,497 --> 00:28:39,897 Speaker 1: apart because this whole thing about like putting like cat 554 00:28:39,977 --> 00:28:43,177 Speaker 1: ears on yourself once you're older. By the way I 555 00:28:43,297 --> 00:28:45,017 Speaker 1: use this even but even back when I was a 556 00:28:45,017 --> 00:28:47,497 Speaker 1: single man, you know, and you would see like people's 557 00:28:47,617 --> 00:28:49,857 Speaker 1: on their Instagram that their photos and some of them 558 00:28:49,857 --> 00:28:52,177 Speaker 1: would use their Snapchat stuff on it, you know, where 559 00:28:52,217 --> 00:28:54,857 Speaker 1: they have like the you know, the dog nose or 560 00:28:54,897 --> 00:28:57,457 Speaker 1: the cat ears or whatever. I'm like, you're I'm like, 561 00:28:57,457 --> 00:28:59,737 Speaker 1: you're twenty eight, twenty nine years You're you're out. You know, 562 00:28:59,777 --> 00:29:04,897 Speaker 1: you're out of the water. Like yeah, if you're twelve 563 00:29:04,977 --> 00:29:08,217 Speaker 1: years old, you could have your little cat filter from Snapchat, 564 00:29:08,297 --> 00:29:10,297 Speaker 1: but you know, once you get to be an adults. 565 00:29:10,737 --> 00:29:14,057 Speaker 1: So I always thought that Snapchat was was preposterous. And 566 00:29:14,257 --> 00:29:15,897 Speaker 1: all the other thing too is I was like, hey, 567 00:29:16,177 --> 00:29:20,537 Speaker 1: this it all disappears. It's the Internet. It doesn't disappear. 568 00:29:21,177 --> 00:29:23,977 Speaker 1: It goes somewhere. They have whatever you're sending and it 569 00:29:23,977 --> 00:29:25,697 Speaker 1: goes somewhere. So that was the other part of this. 570 00:29:25,737 --> 00:29:27,377 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, people were like you can just 571 00:29:27,417 --> 00:29:29,817 Speaker 1: send whatever photos I want to be like, I wouldn't 572 00:29:29,817 --> 00:29:33,177 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, yeah, Oh don't worry. It's gonna be 573 00:29:33,217 --> 00:29:36,737 Speaker 1: totally gone. No one's story somewhere, So yeah, I know, 574 00:29:36,897 --> 00:29:40,657 Speaker 1: I just I wonder, you know, I feel like we've 575 00:29:40,697 --> 00:29:43,697 Speaker 1: had in some ways, it's almost like we finally broke 576 00:29:43,737 --> 00:29:45,897 Speaker 1: into the party here. You know, we finally got past 577 00:29:45,977 --> 00:29:48,737 Speaker 1: the bouncers for social media on the right after being 578 00:29:48,737 --> 00:29:50,897 Speaker 1: really shut out for the last few years. And this 579 00:29:51,017 --> 00:29:52,657 Speaker 1: party is looking kind of dead right now. It's not 580 00:29:52,697 --> 00:29:55,377 Speaker 1: a lot going on. The kegs are running dry, you know, 581 00:29:55,457 --> 00:29:58,537 Speaker 1: they've switched from a live band to like the you know, 582 00:29:58,737 --> 00:30:03,417 Speaker 1: the schlumpy DJ. It's not good, it's true. And maybe 583 00:30:03,417 --> 00:30:05,297 Speaker 1: a part of that is that the left is more 584 00:30:05,777 --> 00:30:09,137 Speaker 1: they're not as fun right now because they're well, they're 585 00:30:09,137 --> 00:30:11,297 Speaker 1: subdued because they got their guy in office. But also 586 00:30:11,337 --> 00:30:13,417 Speaker 1: they're seeing how crazy and in saying everything is, so 587 00:30:13,617 --> 00:30:16,057 Speaker 1: they don't have that fervor they did do the Trump years, 588 00:30:16,057 --> 00:30:18,737 Speaker 1: which made it so fun to torment them and see 589 00:30:18,737 --> 00:30:20,697 Speaker 1: what sort of crazy things they are saying. Maybe if 590 00:30:20,697 --> 00:30:23,297 Speaker 1: we have a Republican president after this one, then the 591 00:30:23,377 --> 00:30:27,217 Speaker 1: left will get newly entertaining and social media. But did 592 00:30:27,217 --> 00:30:31,097 Speaker 1: you get some Trump retweets back in the day. No, 593 00:30:31,217 --> 00:30:33,657 Speaker 1: I never got a Trump reach. I was so upset 594 00:30:33,697 --> 00:30:35,177 Speaker 1: by that. So I'll just tell you this was the 595 00:30:35,337 --> 00:30:38,377 Speaker 1: I did. There was I got six Trump retweets in 596 00:30:38,377 --> 00:30:41,617 Speaker 1: a row ups. So it was like it was like 597 00:30:41,937 --> 00:30:45,257 Speaker 1: my Trump's was just buck sex that And and it 598 00:30:45,297 --> 00:30:47,857 Speaker 1: was funny because I remember I got like weird text 599 00:30:47,897 --> 00:30:51,217 Speaker 1: messages from people who I don't know from work anymore, 600 00:30:51,257 --> 00:30:53,097 Speaker 1: you know, from from media world anymore or whatever, like 601 00:30:53,177 --> 00:30:56,817 Speaker 1: high school classmates were like, hey, man, like, I guess 602 00:30:56,857 --> 00:30:59,137 Speaker 1: the big guy really, like you know, I'm just seeing here, 603 00:30:59,177 --> 00:31:00,577 Speaker 1: was like, what is this? But the best part of 604 00:31:00,577 --> 00:31:03,057 Speaker 1: it was that in that was the high point of 605 00:31:03,057 --> 00:31:04,657 Speaker 1: Twitter in a lot of ways, even though the Left 606 00:31:04,697 --> 00:31:06,297 Speaker 1: was cheating and doing all kinds of stuff and they 607 00:31:06,377 --> 00:31:07,777 Speaker 1: used it to steal the election.
