1:21
so one thing i really wanted to talk to
1:23
about to start with his cause i know
1:26
so much about your opinions
1:28
and thoughts on so many different topics but
1:30
i realized realized don't really know
1:32
all that much about you as a person
1:35
and your background and everything that led
1:37
up to the stage so can you just
1:39
give just a little the intro
1:41
to you are especially for those who may not
1:43
be familiar but even those who are the origin
1:45
story you're gone
1:47
all way back i was raised out i
1:50
was born one of my area maryland
1:52
and raised in a very
1:54
conservative catholic family of five brothers
1:56
and sisters when my sister's is a is a
1:58
non now set up like how catholic
2:00
our family of and i'm
2:02
like why was public school you know for
2:04
a big arms glad that amounts go
2:06
mounted by part of that is because is
2:09
went public school for in
2:11
okay through twelve and very low liberal
2:13
even back then it's not as bad as it is now
2:15
but the liberal area and
2:18
so that was just
2:20
learning as my parents were very open
2:22
with us about like this is what you're going encounter public
2:24
school got to be able stand up for your values
2:27
if he hears something that's the
2:29
you know is wrong don't have to just
2:31
sit and listen to any good can speak up
2:33
and if you get in trouble for that that's cool
2:36
you won't be trouble in trouble at home for that
2:39
that was going to how i was was raised and i think
2:41
it's sort sort of prepared me a little bit for what
2:44
what i do now what's
2:47
gonna started i started a website bouts
2:50
, guess is almost ten years ago now just a blog
2:53
and and writing my thoughts
2:55
on things without a lot of plan
2:57
behind it and a catholic off pretty
2:59
frequently and of work with glenn beck of the blaze
3:02
for three four years before
3:04
i came over here and put
3:06
me in a car for public as
3:09
awesome did you know that this that this world
3:11
you are going to enter did you have aspirations
3:14
they do something else don't
3:16
i i i knew from oh from a young
3:19
age especially in school like a part
3:21
of it again goes back to this arguing with people
3:23
now i'm feeling my god the
3:26
behind enemy lines and enemy territory
3:28
all the time but there
3:30
was something the out
3:32
of their naps to their and the
3:34
something frayling about it also i felt so
3:38
it also knew that i have no other skills
3:40
so it's either this or arm
3:44
a woman i guess there's this or nothing night
3:46
at this hour or hour i should be living in
3:49
august , when what was it
3:51
like growing up growing growing up at that
3:53
time so i mean i grew up in
3:55
the middle east out in saudi arabia so
3:59
very
3:59
current from
4:01
they've a lot of people both here in the us and also
4:03
in my home country of the uk have grown
4:05
up but when people now
4:08
hear the word liberal i think that's actually one of the most bastard
4:10
eyes terms that's really
4:12
sort of become so
4:14
far removed from what it used to mean
4:17
but what did that mean when you
4:19
were growing up there how have you seen those
4:21
definitions of liberal and conservative
4:23
change over the decades yeah
4:25
i think i was far was conservative as conservative
4:27
the the problem for conservative
4:29
as far as i far back as i can remember
4:32
his a
4:34
fundamental this agreement
4:36
among conservatives about whale a
4:38
class a question what exactly are trying to conserve
4:42
and so
4:44
that's that's kind of always been the case with for
4:46
for me growing up and in public school
4:48
it was you
4:50
know it was i can remember
4:52
a fair bit of leftwing
4:55
indoctrination i can remember the
4:59
even history classes and how they were back
5:01
then when nobody was using the term critical race
5:03
theory that it existed but ah
5:05
, term hadn't made it's way to public consciousness
5:07
yet so but there was a lot of that kind
5:10
of thing i can remember even go back to elementary school
5:13
as they were the emphasizing
5:16
you know the
5:18
stories of heroism from
5:21
american history and more let's talk
5:24
about all the sins and all things we should be sad
5:26
about and feel regret for even though he didn't do them i'm
5:29
i'm all in all our gone back to the store when i was a
5:31
kid but even that is is just bad
5:34
is that was it's nothing compared
5:36
to what they're going through now yeah
5:38
that especially when it comes to our all the
5:40
gender stopping at that didn't exist
5:43
without and school at all i
5:45
think i was familiar with the
5:47
term transgender islam your
5:50
heard the term but nobody that
5:53
i ever encountered when i was a kid identify
5:55
that wasn't you know i hadn't even heard that term
5:57
until i want to say about eight or nine years ago i
5:59
member people
5:59
the transsexual through young and transvestite
6:02
so a transvestite was a my who wanted to
6:04
dress and opposite sex clothing transaction
6:07
with someone who had actually done
6:08
hormone therapy and had a sixteen
6:10
surgery and now with this idea
6:13
of transgender ism it's just merely
6:15
self identification and you can do that
6:17
other stuff maybe if you want to
6:19
so that actually i think in the past decade
6:22
this really come
6:24
to light and then of course terms like
6:26
transylvania which didn't
6:29
exist and was not a word until very
6:31
recently and seems to be the primary device
6:35
and argument used for advocates
6:37
that seems to be one thing they always
6:39
just come back to anyone who asks the question the
6:42
any issue any questions just your central
6:44
that you're trans or they track your chance will they can unfortunately
6:46
that shuts down i think about eighty
6:48
ninety percent of people because
6:51
i mean as i mentioned earlier
6:53
in this i'm in now been over three years since
6:56
i posted for a flippant tweet on
6:58
twitter saying hey identified as woman
7:00
i just broke the british woman's douglas record that
7:02
was back in february twenty nineteen when
7:05
fewer people were actually talking about this and
7:07
that blew up and and went crazy and it
7:09
just amazes me that more than three years later
7:12
this is still a that
7:14
debate and he makes
7:16
me wonder what's going on in western society
7:18
and particularly it seems english speaking countries
7:21
the anglos fear that is
7:23
causing this psychosis
7:26
the lack of a better term and
7:28
, think it's combined with an
7:32
the pandemic of cowardice honestly in
7:34
one thing i really like about what you do and respect
7:37
that's that your your
7:39
your courageous in your speech you use
7:41
speak up you say the things that
7:43
other people are thinking and
7:45
you've got your principles and you stand by them whether
7:48
people agree disagree you don't cower
7:50
in apologize for for
7:52
absolutely everything it's that is
7:54
that's rare is that's something that's always been
7:57
within you or is that something that you've kind
7:59
of learn and develop
7:59
over time
8:01
ah
8:03
i think i've always had said i don't
8:05
take a lot of credit for it because i'm also
8:09
i'm up i think i'm naturally antagonistic also
8:12
kind of a contrarians i i have that
8:14
and as i have a call a call and some of that i'm units
8:17
that are there many times a life when it doesn't really
8:19
benefit you to be that way but for
8:22
me i that's that's gonna how
8:24
i am so it's not
8:27
that's why it's not so as to be courageous
8:29
as like you have to actually be the
8:32
courageous thing is when you do something and or you're
8:34
really afraid to do it and by
8:37
you do it anyway as carriage ride for
8:40
me with a lot of the stuff i'm not a just a matter afraid
8:43
so you'll have all encourage
8:45
him i say that it sound like self congratulatory i'm afraid
8:48
of anything the i
8:50
mean and that way i just mean yeah i'm if it
8:52
doesn't occur to me too worry
8:54
about it like when
8:56
the
8:58
one people are very worried about being labeled you
9:00
know and i don't you call them cause
9:02
when racist or homophobic transfer a
9:05
lot of people that the fact
9:07
and deeply and be called they they don't want we perceive
9:09
that way and so you can manipulate them and
9:13
you're actually it's it's quite sinister because are taking
9:15
advantage of what is in that person
9:18
the positive quality where they you know they don't want
9:20
to be seen in a bad lighting they they're just decent
9:22
normal people and in
9:25
and out of the end up getting manipulated but for me i just
9:28
i just don't care at
9:30
all the labels
9:32
he put on me if you say to me i
9:34
think erases it
9:36
doesn't i don't care that you think that about the episode
9:38
i'm saying so i'm because i know
9:41
myself i know what i am on a doesn't matter to
9:43
me at all there
9:45
is a i think i'm almost to survive especially
9:47
the do kind of what we do and be in the public
9:50
eye and to be engaging these issues all the
9:52
time lama is gonna like numbness
9:54
you have to have to other people's opinions and feelings
9:57
and once again at something that in other spheres
9:59
if i'm not sure that it's a positive thing all
10:02
the time but it , feel
10:04
it's almost a necessity them these days guys
10:06
are so much can measure all the time and
10:09
ah yeah you could have a a
10:11
million people coming after you call me all kinds of names
10:14
some of the survival mechanism you have to get
10:16
a point where stuff like i don't care that
10:19
any of you people think the absolutely
10:21
i agree exactly what what you said because
10:25
get a lot of people who congratulate
10:27
or thank me for my my courage and
10:31
i have a similar response to you which is
10:33
that the i think in one
10:35
way to compliment in another way
10:37
i feel sort of saddened that the
10:39
bar for courage in society
10:41
is is so low that just saying
10:44
what you believed to be true or
10:46
in some cases something that is objectively true
10:49
that is now considered something that requires
10:52
a unique and special
10:55
amount of courage when i think really it should
10:57
be the default so why
10:59
do you think that why
11:01
do you think so so few people have
11:03
that level of courage because we're not talking about fighting
11:08
at fighting in a war or running into
11:10
a burning building and saving some one word
11:12
we're talking to okay you might get called me names but
11:14
you're you're not really putting yourself
11:16
at some type of horrible physical risk
11:19
but it seems like now people's tolerance for
11:21
live for risk we saw this as well over the
11:23
past two and a half years so that the tolerance
11:25
for risk is is is you there's
11:28
a lot of goes into a part of it is just living
11:30
discomfort will western life on
11:33
where you where you go
11:35
about most of your life and on a daily
11:37
basis and not really experience very
11:39
much suffering and pain and ah
11:42
though he started see that as the exception
11:44
more than the rule with life whereas previous generations
11:47
mean people now the live in other parts of the world suffering
11:50
pain deprivation atlantic such as
11:52
much as part of life as part of part deal for the bargain
11:55
we we've been able to insulate ourselves from
11:57
that and so than a economics you we
11:59
gonna l that makes you feel like
12:01
you're entitled to that kind of comfort all the time
12:04
and when anything
12:06
comes along the threatens to to take you out of
12:08
that make a little bit uncomfortable you new recoil
12:10
from an even more if
12:13
i think that that's part of people don't mind because
12:16
we're so comfortable and weeks or even
12:18
just disapproving comments
12:22
the boat posting
12:24
frowny face images that you and com it's
12:28
a real trial compared to what you
12:30
experience on a daily basis the
12:32
not about it also has its own is also matter of
12:34
belief this
12:37
really applies especially in the church and so i
12:39
got a question lot about whoa lab with
12:41
with the song come out what is a woman and what
12:45
was i get a lot as well you
12:47
know what wire the church is talking about this
12:49
more why why
12:51
why you out you're doing is why isn't it's are
12:53
wired church leaders out of addressing
12:55
this issue of gender ideology and what it's
12:57
doing to people which is
12:59
a really good question to they should be i've been going
13:02
to church every week for my whole
13:04
life i don't have
13:06
anything i've ever heard this issue address from the pulpit
13:08
and in really directed substantially i'm
13:11
and maybe you can excuse that for like the first one years
13:13
of my life but the last ten to fifteen
13:16
there's no she's not are when they don't why
13:18
that while there the
13:21
cowardice also but then also i
13:23
think it comes down to believe i think a lot of people leading
13:25
searches don't actually believe
13:29
what we believe they're pretending they don't actually have this
13:31
believe deep down within the
13:33
goes beyond the church also a lot of conservative
13:36
so called conservative leaders
13:39
who we look at them and say why are they cowards why are they
13:41
speaking the and defending
13:44
our beliefs because they don't share the police actually
13:46
they don't they know that's the dirty little secret they don't
13:48
actually believe a lot of the stuff them for
13:52
me i actually
13:54
by believe all the things that i'm saying i would say it of
13:56
i didn't believe it though everything
13:59
springs kind naturally from there i mean
14:02
gender ideology i i say that it's the
14:05
clear present danger to civilization
14:09
we are destroying a generation of kids no
14:12
my whole spiel on they actually believe
14:15
all that said i really believe deep down that all that
14:17
is true and if you believe that the
14:19
believe that something is that much of a danger
14:21
to society into your own kids there
14:24
now what else you going to do but the ago
14:27
and i mean you you wrote a book on this really
14:29
europe meant literally called church of cowards the
14:32
excellent book i read read that all the way through
14:35
and that's something that's also i
14:37
found i found disappointing
14:39
the
14:40
then i also found a disappointing over the best two
14:42
and a half years i mean i saw there were places where
14:46
searches were shut down across the board
14:49
and then a they opened casinos
14:51
and strip clubs and all this and that and
14:53
i was primarily in the uk during this time
14:56
but i was thinking way how come
14:58
all the
14:59
shouldn't the religious leaders be
15:02
not just church leaders ball religious leaders
15:04
i mean the with the way they just allowed
15:07
bureaucrats to to shut them down wouldn't with
15:09
no with no fi i think it's one thing something
15:11
happening and you're attempting to resist it
15:13
there's another thing when it's pressing
15:16
against you and you to say oh okay let's
15:18
just let's just go with it
15:19
or you know or or even you're
15:22
the one calling
15:23
for it and not just a
15:25
got a gonna hurt or
15:28
, heart i was was like man this is this is
15:30
so disappointing when
15:32
you know what's the point of all this if
15:34
no one's gonna stand for the
15:37
only to stand for for anything and
15:39
someone who travels a lot so
15:42
much of this stuff oftentimes people say the world
15:44
is going crazy and everyone's going nuts and
15:47
i mean you use somewhat explore this in your documentary
15:49
but rethink when people say that it's very western
15:52
centric perspective because
15:54
so many of the
15:56
so many to the the bad ideas and these
15:58
these mental battle that are are spreading
16:01
it's primarily in
16:04
the western world it's it's the u s it's canada
16:06
uk australia new zealand
16:09
some parts of western europe but actually
16:11
the vast majority people in the world most of the
16:13
billions of people
16:15
the have the exact same the was
16:18
and we do as that dumb as i tried that you spoke
16:20
to in any or any documentary
16:22
what is what woman and that's actually
16:24
the that actually popular
16:27
mainstream perspective
16:29
i mean what percentage of people in this
16:31
world actually believe that believe
16:33
that can have a penis or men can
16:35
give birth and so on these are these
16:38
are very very friends and minority views
16:40
which somehow have
16:43
created this
16:45
appearance
16:46
that they are the the most
16:49
the most commonly held one in the world and
16:51
i feel like that happens on a lot of issues so it can
16:53
seem like common sense is is
16:55
completely gone and everyone's wrapped up in the
16:57
psychosis but i don't think that's
16:59
true i do think most people are
17:01
normal when most people no
17:04
show people have different opinions but uncertain something's
17:06
are very self avenue
17:08
there there are few things more self evident than
17:10
males
17:11
the females not just in
17:13
the human species but across the board at it seems
17:15
like everyone is just playing this game all the time
17:18
yeah the derived part of the problem is
17:22
these days especially large
17:24
large bit of the media and internet
17:27
via were all disconnected all the time you're
17:29
bombarded with all these messages also just message
17:32
overload all the time the then
17:35
it is a price is kind of amnesia where
17:37
people have a very short memory know he the memories
17:39
of of fruit flies now and ,
17:42
that's why something will happen you know and
17:44
it's like the biggest story the world have as if you feel like
17:46
it's it changes everything and then then
17:49
minutes later know zoc matter anymore and
17:51
all that means that we just get your is
17:53
like stuck in this eternal now
17:56
of just like you're always wrapped up in each moment
17:58
as it happens and you forget about what
18:01
, in the past them what's gonna happen in the future and
18:04
, is kind of bubble wear
18:06
whatever is the reality
18:09
for us right now it is exact moment you
18:11
think that to this is just the world this is what it's
18:13
always been this is what is everywhere you
18:15
don't realize how insular it is
18:17
and how new a lot of the stuff isn't
18:20
temporary because i would degenerate
18:22
on particular yeah you could go outside the western bubbles
18:24
we did in the film and discover that
18:26
the stuff doesn't exist or
18:28
if you had a time machine you could go back you
18:31
know of any years ago your ten years ago really and
18:34
sit anywhere in the world and it didn't exist i mean
18:36
it's it's so it's it's
18:39
unique to this place
18:41
, we live but also to this zeigler time
18:45
time have that's have something up evolve
18:47
and grapple with an effort or even realize
18:49
even why do you think that gender
18:52
ideology specifically is is so
18:54
dangerous because there's
18:56
a lot of people out there of course including advocates
18:58
and apologists who would say that hey
19:01
why say why does this bother you let
19:04
people live their lives let people do
19:06
what they wanna do believe what they want to believe and
19:08
so on what specifically do think
19:10
is that is the greatest
19:12
right about this idea
19:14
the i think a lot of probably most
19:17
opponents generally arguing asked that question
19:19
they would seem that they usually would say something about
19:22
the way that it affects goods
19:25
what it's doing a women know all that
19:27
kind of stuff and all of that is
19:29
really important and at all those are all that they
19:32
all that factors into why i care about the so much why they
19:34
get some point that's not the
19:36
underlying the reason
19:38
why this is important the underlying reason is that
19:40
some gender ideologies and assault
19:42
on truth and truth
19:45
matters for it's own sake there's an inherent
19:47
value to true
19:50
and when something threatens
19:52
true or not you know you can always true that's true to
19:54
get threatening gender thing about it but when
19:56
something threatens our it's our it's
19:58
it's such and such a degree the threatens our
20:01
ability to perceive understands
20:03
her with on on a collective level then
20:06
that's enough reason to considered
20:09
a grave threat and civilization
20:11
and they are you the comparison
20:13
all time what if
20:15
there was a movements out there
20:17
gaining steam the convince
20:19
everyone that squares
20:22
are circles that
20:24
that of the spectrum of square in isn't circle
20:26
know some really they're the same and however now
20:29
if that was i don't walk around every
20:31
day thinking about squared circle i don't care much about
20:33
geometry but if if
20:35
this movement was happening then
20:37
i'd be out there fighting about guess it's i know squares square
20:40
certain circles now i care
20:42
because you're this is a basic truth of reality
20:44
that you are waging assault against and i
20:46
don't want to live in a world where we don't
20:48
know the difference from squares circles and then that
20:51
to go too far do with his analogy but a
20:55
first becomes the just as abstract matter
20:57
of truth okay but
20:59
then if you actually abandon this
21:01
truth and sale doesn't matter squares as circles
21:03
a circle of squares then you start to see the
21:05
real practical implications
21:07
a because how do you have a how
21:10
do you build anything how do you have architecture
21:12
in a in a world where no one understands
21:14
geometry right and actually no buildings
21:16
collapsing on people's heads the
21:20
though once you abandon truth from
21:22
they're they're all is enormously
21:24
perfect consequences and going back to
21:27
gender that's we see first of the abandonment of truth
21:30
consequence of that women
21:32
lose their identities really their identities
21:35
are appropriate if they lose their privacy lose
21:37
their rights children are victimized the
21:40
but that all grows from this kind of root of
21:43
bannon truth yeah absolutely i think
21:45
following on from that as well something that i
21:47
think is deeply concerning about it who
21:50
do things actually ah number one
21:52
is that it sets a very
21:55
dangerous precedent because there
21:58
are
21:59
there
21:59
there's not really a more fundamental
22:02
and self evident and obvious truth
22:04
as the fact that there are men and
22:06
women boys and girls and that males and females
22:08
are
22:10
no we have been in all across
22:12
species as little as leery how we've all got your
22:14
everyone birth on this planet was birth
22:16
from a woman and if
22:18
you can convince millions or billions
22:21
of people that people that not
22:23
the case
22:24
then you can convince them of
22:27
anything right there are there are many
22:29
many things that would fall out from
22:31
that and another point of it
22:33
which is our you you brought up the
22:36
the issue with kids and you talked about the send your documentary
22:39
but appointed appointed seen many
22:41
people make and maybe because it's
22:43
it's very uncomfortable but to me
22:45
it's a very obvious gateway to be to philly
22:48
because if people are advocating that a an
22:50
eight year old a ten year old a twelve year old
22:52
whatever can consent the
22:55
to the gender transition
22:57
and something that will permanently alter them perhaps
22:59
render them in fertile the rest of your
23:01
rest of their life you're saying that you can make that decision
23:04
at twelve then you are
23:06
also crushing the arguments
23:08
against children not being able to
23:11
consent to sexual activity you don't get like
23:13
let's get tattoos you don't let them
23:16
right you don't let the mean adding tattoos retrograde
23:18
example to that's something that's that's permanence i
23:21
say say year old getting a tattoo is
23:24
less the less concerning
23:26
then them going on hormone therapy
23:29
or having their
23:30
genitals removed or anything like that so
23:32
i think it's it's it's a very and especially
23:34
knowing that knowing the history
23:36
the type of people who initially push push
23:38
this type of gender ideology and some of their methods
23:41
and things that they did to me it's like
23:43
with this is a very clear your opening
23:45
a pandora's very very dangerous pandora's
23:47
box year and i don't even know as the
23:49
activist themselves realize
23:51
that are the people advocating it but
23:53
it's a point that i don't against brought up much but
23:56
i think that some real danger of it
23:58
as well then you're exactly right
24:00
it's and it's not the that
24:03
far fetched my conspiracy theory there's a
24:05
as you said there's a logical the
24:08
and to this the time
24:12
the whole argument against the
24:15
against ophelia against
24:18
the , a relationship between an
24:20
adult child the reason we say it's not a relationship
24:23
as possible it's rape if even
24:26
if the child sense
24:28
verbally the not really consent because
24:31
and why is that like what these are these what we say
24:33
and and we all pretend to agree anyway why
24:36
is that it's because a child can that
24:38
matter what they say matter what the child
24:40
even feels like a child
24:43
cannot consent cannot
24:45
because that because of lack
24:48
of formation,
24:50
the
24:52
lack of and neurological development
24:54
of me there's a real real science behind
24:56
this also by the way the
24:59
, the prefrontal cortex which
25:01
which controls are discernment long
25:03
terms decision making that's not
25:05
fully develop and over twenty five so
25:07
they get eight or nine year old
25:11
how far along are they developed in at the morgue hardly
25:13
at all and that's why that's why little kids to stab
25:15
know they , stupid
25:17
impulsive things and we have the catholic a
25:19
trunk they they're not thinking about they
25:22
literally can't even conceive of like what's tomorrow
25:24
going tomorrow be like though
25:27
that's all that's that's what all this is this is
25:29
built on his is on this idea the kids cannot
25:31
make these kinds of decisions for themselves and as you point
25:33
out if you take
25:37
that away and you say oh actually
25:39
kids can
25:40
not only can they make
25:42
these kinds of long term citizens out they
25:45
can make what are essentially sexual
25:47
decisions for themselves with much as any decision
25:49
to but it's not just getting a
25:51
tattoo as you point out that i'll be a lot
25:54
better than doing a gender transition i'd prefer
25:56
that i'm now they're making
25:59
sexual says
25:59
and in it's based on this id also that
26:02
they are like in touch with their
26:04
own sexuality and that we get into
26:06
of into the film the
26:08
your alfred kinsey and and and his
26:12
believe the children are sexual from birth
26:15
and he went to
26:18
the extreme
26:20
extent to the and horrific extends to
26:22
prove this syria is
26:24
if i'm so all of that
26:26
is wrapped together with this gender ideology stuff
26:29
on your your sexualizing kids you're
26:32
claiming that they to make but there are they
26:34
are able to consent to the
26:37
profound life altering decision
26:41
and if that's the case then it's not hard
26:43
to see how all this other stuff it's ushered
26:45
in yeah do find it shocking
26:47
and surprising that it's
26:49
the into this level because
26:52
i feel like throughout my entire
26:54
life
26:55
one hard line that was
26:57
always agreed
26:59
and this abuses across even different
27:02
cultures and countries and societies
27:04
is that when it comes to children
27:07
there's a hard line there and that that's
27:10
not
27:11
that's not something to a blows my
27:13
mind this is this is even a political conversation
27:16
that the things were saying should even be deemed
27:18
conservative or anything like
27:21
that because even people who consider themselves
27:23
liberal or progressive again at
27:25
a decade plus ago we're we're
27:27
not espousing these kind of these
27:29
kind of cookie ideas and and the the
27:32
notion that you know the
27:34
people keep my have the view and of in a
27:36
free society if you're an adult whether
27:39
or not i agree with a you
27:41
agree with it so odd people can
27:43
generally do what they want
27:45
whether or not they should a whole different question but
27:48
we all had this agreement
27:50
in unison that children
27:53
very special case and need to be
27:55
protected and you can just apply the exact
27:57
same rules as you do too
27:59
the a daughter it seems like we're crossing
28:02
a really really dangerous
28:04
line without when it comes to children
28:06
and it also seems very confusing because
28:09
i honestly to be it to be real with you i feel
28:11
like in the west in in the usa there is a very
28:14
is very confused and mixed up
28:16
notion when it comes to
28:19
protecting children
28:20
it seems very contradictory in
28:22
some ways and in some types it's like children
28:25
and their lives don't don't don't matter at all
28:28
whether this is the glorification
28:30
of abortion or this is what we're talking
28:32
about right now and then on another
28:34
hand two minutes later it's like absolutely
28:37
children's lives matter so much and it must be protected
28:40
there's recently been been a school shooting and
28:42
obviously everyone's young people are rallying around
28:44
that and so on a just seems
28:47
odd and contradictory and
28:49
i don't in
28:52
in some ways it feels like kids are similar tenuously
28:55
over and under for vastly
28:57
over protected and vastly under protected
28:59
in our country they'll think
29:01
about the parents
29:03
who
29:05
doesn't want their eight year old to go climb a tree
29:07
the guy they're
29:09
my phone script or near whatever why
29:14
even like a thirteen year old to go
29:17
what you don't ride
29:19
a bike down the street or something like that and yet
29:22
they'll give a phone with
29:24
internet access to the radio the know so
29:28
very worried about certain kinds
29:30
of threats but , others and
29:32
i think it does kind of make
29:35
sense of on a macro level because it's all part
29:37
of its priorities you can put on our heads
29:41
and so you know we hear about helicopter parents
29:44
people up with their kids and bubbles not gonna stop and
29:47
that depending on on what it is your
29:49
protect your child from the something wrong with that i'm not i
29:52
i would like to my kids in a bubble of sorts of
29:54
the helicopter parent in
29:56
end very protective of them
29:59
insert
29:59
ways like i'm going to let my children go run
30:02
around outside and are gonna
30:04
for down sometimes get and get a little bit injured
30:06
and you know you have to the
30:10
right up in ios born and and put a band aid on that
30:13
becomes and you allow them to do and that that those are the kinds
30:15
of that's even certain risks that you allow your kids
30:17
to make you have to just allow
30:19
them to take risks in a controlled environment i'm
30:22
with your oversight because you
30:24
never do that now i'm the international
30:27
or how to take risks and and a healthy way and
30:29
then they're gonna leave home and no
30:31
that's when you end up with they're
30:34
going to get by the wheel the car be drag racing
30:36
austria whatever that dot
30:39
during lived in have taken those kinds of recipes yeah yeah
30:41
taught them how to take out the risks though
30:45
i will do that as then there are
30:47
other kinds of risks that i am not going
30:50
to willingly take with my kids and their
30:52
other things i'm not that other dangers i'm
30:54
not going to willingly
30:56
expose them to and are those
30:58
are the dangers that attack them not
31:00
by giving them skyn nice but
31:03
ak them like at are the sole level
31:06
and go after their minds in their
31:08
their perception of who they are those
31:10
are the kinds of threats that nine year
31:13
old is not
31:13
the pair
31:15
who
31:16
face
31:17
you know
31:18
why don't get like and none of my kids are phones and triumph
31:21
as far as i'm concerned they're never to have a fall within a nexus
31:23
one are living in my in my house i just because
31:26
there's never going to be a time where time going to say
31:28
you know that this will make your life better
31:31
you you're missing something from your life right now
31:33
and it's a phone and somebody give it i'm
31:37
not under the illusion that are never gonna have a phone but
31:39
i'm not gonna be the when a base for digital
31:42
though
31:43
that's my priority as a parent and i look at other parents
31:46
the society in general and it just seems like
31:50
things are kind of flipped upside down there do
31:52
you think that this isn't over correction i
31:54
often say that i think the or countries
31:56
are going to and over correction
31:58
and
31:59
this is something that
32:02
the is potentially
32:04
temporary rather than a long
32:06
term trend and we might look back at this time
32:09
and go to like things got a little bit little
32:11
bit cookie over that decades
32:13
but and i think one reason i feel that have that optimism
32:16
is not because people don't need for i think people
32:18
absolutely do need to fight but i
32:20
think that lies
32:22
can only go on for so long
32:25
and i think that's something that is destructive
32:27
and is that is not actually working
32:30
the people i think it can can persist for a
32:32
while
32:33
but i don't think it can it can go
32:35
on forever so
32:38
how do you feel about that are you especially
32:40
especially as a parent especially apparent i'm
32:42
not apparent yet but how
32:44
do you feel about the trajectory
32:47
where the usa and
32:49
the wider world is going in this
32:52
regard you think this is a a little
32:54
over correction or do you think
32:56
this could lead to something far more
32:59
dangerous what are your thoughts on i
33:01
don't i don't see it correcting itself
33:03
i don't i don't
33:05
gruesome or you're saying at as dot i'm not as
33:07
optimistic about the timeline i guess i think
33:09
that some eventually
33:11
the pendulum will swing back in the direction and
33:15
are the reason is that is that especially comes
33:17
the gender stuff i discovered
33:19
making the film so
33:22
flimsy the
33:24
help of a house of cards that it cannot
33:27
stand for every possible i
33:29
mean when you have this have this worldview
33:31
this ideology that falls apart under
33:33
the slightest bit of scrutiny
33:35
the cannot even answer any questions
33:38
for itself at all then then you have something
33:40
that's very beautiful i'm
33:42
the only problem is it's a generational
33:45
problem as institutional problem
33:47
because the left even
33:49
though it seems like this stuff just came along ten years ago
33:51
and actually done as we get into in the film it's
33:54
been around longer than that and it
33:57
it exploded into the mainstream
33:59
the
33:59
i can the eighteen years
34:02
ago the from the institutions
34:05
they did monsters has receded with
34:07
these ideas
34:08
the
34:09
academia media hollywood
34:13
corporate america government
34:15
and all that and then of funnel
34:17
down at a society from there and
34:20
now it's just claiming entire
34:22
generations of kids the
34:25
what does that mean means that the
34:27
reclaim the culture and
34:30
two
34:34
get this madness add the culture with
34:37
the reclaim institutions and
34:39
we also have to work on a generational like
34:44
what
34:45
i have to have kids and raise my own kids
34:47
to be sane decent people in my kids
34:50
are tempted do the same thing it's like a longer
34:52
process think it's a long term process but
34:55
it's a fight we can win it's just not only one
34:58
before him i hear that of all
35:00
the interviews you didn't hear what is a woman documentary
35:03
which one i mean you had your poker face
35:05
on surrounded talking to some
35:08
really cookie and disingenuous people was
35:10
their particular interview or moment
35:12
which shocked you the
35:15
most
35:17
i think com
35:22
there were certainly moments in it and in each
35:24
interview that were really
35:26
unsettling com and
35:28
especially retards got news and is and of
35:31
female transition to transition male
35:34
now speaking out about the horrors of this so
35:36
called gender affirmation surgery and
35:39
she said she said about just the details of
35:41
what these surgeries actually entail and
35:43
what happens after the fact that i don't know
35:45
when i found shouting
35:46
that
35:47
from each interview especially on the other side with the
35:49
you know the the proponents the people that are pushing
35:51
the stuff what surprised me
35:53
was just the fact that they couldn't answer
35:55
any questions at all i i knew that they couldn't
35:58
answer the question was woman the
36:00
whole premise of the film as they would build answer
36:04
they could answer than a movie when exist right by
36:08
what i didn't realize is that they can't answer
36:10
any other questions i had a lot of questions
36:12
that i wanted ask leading up to that question
36:15
and
36:17
i thought at least the the initial question by
36:20
as we pretty easy the com a softball they
36:22
be able to handle that we could just couldn't move along
36:24
but i found is that these interviews got very tense very quickly
36:27
much quicker than quicker thought because the
36:29
moment i asked even one real question
36:32
the actual question that i want an answer to and that
36:34
was not an opportunity for them to just give a stump speech
36:37
the moment i did that thing started fall apart
36:39
because they then they started when
36:41
second
36:44
this is not someone who necessarily
36:47
shares all of my
36:48
presuppositions
36:50
animated offensive and bed
36:52
the almost immediately they want to walk out the interview which is why
36:55
we heard most of our interview i
36:57
don't right walk out or actually did walk
37:00
out
37:00
the
37:02
the now because of any gotcha questions like i went
37:04
in there and i'm got some gotcha
37:06
thing and arms and the basic
37:08
questions the can answer yeah and the one that
37:10
shocked me the most a maybe two moments the
37:12
one with the the university
37:15
professor and here in tennessee
37:17
ah when when
37:19
can see you youtube using the word truth that
37:22
word truth is condescending
37:24
and deeply is deeply tram real back
37:26
researchers our route yeah that one
37:29
that that just i'll i'll
37:31
almost one who i'd jump jump in the screen and like
37:33
grab the truth he was he was so
37:35
he was so sneaky it's like everything
37:38
was just of that is not an honest there's
37:40
not an honest person who standing on any type
37:42
of foundation at all
37:44
and considering that that's an educator
37:47
and there are
37:48
thousands or lord knows how many people
37:50
like that across the country that's really concerning
37:53
and then of course that i'm though with a woman with
37:55
the blue hair who ah
37:58
when you asked about the lupron
37:59
drug and you she took exception to the were
38:02
drug and then started to
38:04
noticeably shift around and you could say oh
38:07
okay she's
38:08
you know you you you hit that sore point right
38:10
there
38:11
where she's going to have to
38:13
admit vocally what she is
38:15
actually doing and advocating
38:18
for
38:19
and i think it says a lot
38:21
when number one when people are not willing to answer
38:23
on his questions that's a big red flags
38:26
and number two when people are not willing to vocally
38:29
they in clear in clear words
38:31
not with euphemisms but the to
38:33
say what they actually
38:35
believe and stand for
38:37
and are advocating because there's all these
38:39
you euphemisms people come can use on
38:41
various issues and make it sound fluffy
38:44
and nice and so on but when when you really get
38:46
down to eight it's like what you are when
38:48
you are saying what you're doing you
38:51
know it's indefensible and you know it's
38:53
not right which is why you're not willing to stand
38:55
on it and so for me though those
38:57
two moments when i watched it really really
39:00
stuck out yeah i think
39:02
we said before that they're that they're many lies
39:05
that they tell around this the
39:07
protected and
39:09
when you start telling lies
39:11
the everyone no like to start telling
39:14
lies in the auto another wild about one
39:16
another one
39:17
the
39:18
like every episode assigns all george
39:20
costanza like that that's to the humours
39:22
it's due to the one lie after another after another
39:25
arm and it's and kind of a similar thing similar noticed
39:27
and in these interviews with people that the
39:30
first question you ask because they can
39:32
answer any questions and they know that a bit and
39:35
because they know that at the at the score of
39:37
their ideologies just as hollowness is totally
39:39
empty and
39:41
that is his game of evasion and
39:44
you ask one question they kind of evaded
39:46
they give a dishonest answer the ask another
39:48
question is built on that question and it's it's
39:50
like this pile of lies and by after
39:53
a while but they're backed into a corner
39:55
fan either back into the back themselves the point
39:57
where they have to see where they have to say is why
39:59
on things like
40:02
foresee a blue hair one
40:04
the talking about dumb but the gender
40:07
identity of chickens are and i'm
40:09
the chickens cry considers comes was a it's
40:12
like that shit and sit down on the sale any
40:14
a bad but but this is just the
40:16
question she put herself in a position where
40:18
she couldn't even affirm that
40:21
, female chickens lay eggs you couldn't do it
40:23
it she had the make up some story
40:26
about chickens in their gender identity and prime
40:28
chickens it's like this , ends of haven't
40:30
yet she also wouldn't affirmed that santa claus i
40:33
am doesn't exist like secrecy she
40:35
put another position where she literally as a doctor
40:37
could not even say santa claus doesn't
40:40
understand the the
40:42
other kids are that than she would be admitting that
40:45
the first while there is a there is a reality
40:47
a truth and are certain things people can say
40:49
that aren't true and should also be admitting
40:52
that children are the
40:54
prone to believing in
40:58
a wild things later and children don't
41:00
have a real firm grasp on reality
41:02
which is why you can convince them that of batman
41:04
is lying to the or at lightning speed delivering
41:06
present right the and
41:08
up if that's the case the children
41:10
on a firm grasp on reality than how could they possibly
41:13
make statements about their gender that we should take seriously
41:16
he recognizes all these problems in
41:18
her own worldview and so she has to
41:21
keep saying things to avoid the problems
41:23
and the gonna end up
41:25
being a lot of a a lot of humor
41:28
in the film but also lot of the what's
41:31
disturbing and frustrating everly a
41:33
what's been the house if he that been over
41:35
up to they must be coming in from all
41:38
angles over the over the past week
41:41
yeah it's been it's
41:43
been pretty
41:45
overwhelming honestly as we we you
41:48
know we knew we had something special with with
41:50
the film certainly wants waves sinister and
41:54
filming everything it put it together before
41:57
that thing as is after we did the first interview which was
41:59
with
42:01
the therapist
42:03
is it in the first interview in the film also
42:06
the , who was willing to afar
42:08
me as a man as a woman because
42:10
i like scented candles that things
42:12
like in the city and
42:16
after that we gotta looked at each other and
42:18
we left at interviewing like well this is
42:20
we got up and here bomb ,
42:22
we knew also did this is the strategy is
42:24
to warn quite sure either like how
42:26
do we go into these interviews what should we be doing there
42:29
is a part of me that are i wanted to go in there and like
42:31
all these people to account and to argue
42:34
with them but after
42:36
that we realize know this know this play totally
42:39
straight know
42:41
and
42:42
so
42:43
we knew we had our but i but is also question to me
42:45
of of ah how
42:47
the people respond to it and would we
42:49
be able to which was our goal get
42:52
this film outside of the conservative
42:55
podcast audience bubble where
42:57
i spend most of my time and
43:00
we create something that breaks through that
43:03
and the
43:05
next without of a larger audience including an audience
43:07
of people don't identify as political conservatism
43:10
and capital
43:13
about whether we bellucci that by
43:15
so far it's it's the
43:18
work ethic as awesome am known as the
43:20
documentaries been fantastic it
43:23
it was i watched it twice
43:25
in the of shared it with lot of people
43:27
and
43:29
honestly like i like to give props were props
43:31
are do and i don't think they're very
43:33
many people could have
43:35
done it so well i think your personality type
43:38
and your
43:39
ability to deliver an honest
43:41
in situ not laugh out loud at some stuff and
43:43
also to not get visibly
43:46
angry at santa some of that stuff
43:48
like
43:49
it's not
43:50
nadia
43:51
that's not easy because i myself
43:53
was watching an obama of got very cool head and
43:56
i myself was myself was i don't know if i would have been able
43:58
to hold my composure whenever
43:59
than just said that thing so congrats
44:02
on the documentary on before
44:05
we no doubt before we wrap up
44:07
is there any what was the main
44:09
message that you'd want people their
44:11
particular message you want people to
44:13
get from it
44:14
the to think about i think i'm
44:18
one thing of we wanted people to
44:20
take away from this is what
44:23
kind of a negative and is is just how bad
44:27
this is how pervasive it as and that it's not
44:29
just some friends thing on tic toc or whatever
44:31
you want to tell yourself that this
44:33
this and you
44:36
have to confront it it's it's not an
44:38
option
44:40
the just
44:41
hide somewhere and i hope it all just
44:43
goes away and everyone wakes up one
44:45
day
44:46
then again
44:49
that's not gonna happen unless we made a habit so
44:52
let's the one thing and thing and heard
44:54
from love devices like they told me
44:57
i don't know about it wasn't i saw the phone so
44:59
that's that's good that gotten so bad
45:02
that people are taking that away from the
45:05
but then on a positive side once you realize how bad
45:07
it is the next thing i want people to realize
45:09
from the film is as we talked about how bw
45:13
this ideology is and how to be there's no
45:15
way you beat it is by
45:17
be first while being willing to stand
45:19
up a look at in the in the eyes and ask
45:23
your questions you know such as ask baited little
45:25
bit of skepticism is always needed him one
45:27
question and you wanna do on ask as she before we wrap
45:29
up because someone asked me this actually recently
45:32
at an event i spoke
45:34
and was actually your parents
45:37
whose child ,
45:39
number son or daughter is
45:42
the been indoctrinated into this
45:44
for lack of a better term ethic was
45:46
like
45:47
nine or ten year old
45:48
who wants to
45:50
change their gender arm
45:53
for any parents out there or
45:56
just concerned adults and in general
45:58
what would be
45:59
the and you oh she was a she was a christian
46:02
as well so i think she was she was also
46:04
quite shocked
46:05
the
46:06
or child was taken up by this because of
46:08
our she's been raised
46:11
what
46:13
what what sort of and you have any sort of answer or
46:15
words for someone like
46:17
that because i'm i'm rarely
46:20
hot without a decent answer about
46:22
on that one i i was
46:25
what i myself wasn't really sure what
46:27
to say especially not being a parent myself
46:31
i think com the
46:34
great struggle even with even
46:37
apart from the gender stuff in general for
46:39
for parents in the modern world his
46:42
arm the whole hold onto
46:44
your kids to there
46:46
is a book written we've gone hold onto your
46:48
kids years ago com
46:50
about this problem of how do you keep
46:53
your kids connected to you and looking to you
46:56
for guidance rather than looking
46:59
to their peers and looking to all in all
47:01
their phones and everything else though
47:04
especially comes a gender thing it's never been more important
47:07
to do to do that of hold onto your kids
47:10
maybe not physically bye physically keep
47:13
them centered okay
47:15
given give them a place away
47:18
from all the madness
47:20
that develop some everywhere and
47:22
i'm what that means as for one
47:24
thing if if you can don't
47:27
than a public school and that's the number one thing
47:29
a parents can do with specially with this issue to
47:32
protect your kids don't on political the
47:34
home school and but if you can't do that nano not all
47:36
parents can or even if you can do that
47:39
moment both
47:40
there's a
47:41
the next thing is to
47:44
force them the live
47:47
their lives with
47:49
you in in the present with
47:51
you in that physical environment not getting
47:53
lost in their phones cause
47:56
that's where so much in this stuff comes from sounds cliched yeah
47:59
right to blame [unk] the internet but man
48:01
so much of this really just comes down to that
48:04
so much
48:05
the
48:07
the problem for like if they go to school
48:09
in earnest appear environment without a peer
48:11
pressure eminem
48:15
they leave school but i don't really we've got together phones
48:17
i can never escape the can never escape ah
48:20
so give them an escape give them an oasis
48:22
which oasis your home and your family where
48:25
they can really be them who they really are
48:27
they'll be them at their actual selves
48:29
the
48:30
that's the best we can do his parents
