This week, we have Alex Epstein on the show to talk about why transgenders should be allowed in the military, and we also have Inconvenient Truth, the sequel to the Netflix show about the infamous Epstein scandal.
00:04:19.000And listen, there's a lot to, I understand, that there are different sides to this issue.
00:04:24.000It's not just an issue that requires one blanket statement.
00:04:27.000Especially, but I can understand, when you're dealing with a suicide rate, when you're dealing with the issue that obviously plagued the transgender community, you can get into the nature and nurture arguments, but they won't be allowed in the United States military.
00:04:37.000In other news, the ISIS suicide bombing brigade wants you to know that they're open-minded and hiring.
00:05:12.000This is the issue when you deal with the identity politics that becomes a problem.
00:05:15.000The slippery slope argument is a perfectly valid argument, and this doesn't really come as a surprise, though, if you've been following the rhetoric, the heated rhetoric of Germany's newest fuhrer.
00:05:24.000And I tell you, great citizens of Germany, as our country rises like a phoenix from the ashes, we shall be a lesson to all of Europe as we come into our own as a new nation, reborn of great economic, military, and above all else, progressive might!
00:06:16.000And now they're threatening boycotts, but they're threatening Benatarians with a boycott because a new study uncovered that a major ingredient in herbicide, weed killers, was a 9 out of 10 of their ice cream.
00:06:50.000They kick out Salvation Army Santa, so I can get that stuff at Walmart, but there's just only one place to get ice cream that has happened.
00:07:20.000So there's been accusations for a long time I've been in Jerry's with the GMOs.
00:07:24.000This isn't a first time for kind of a granola company.
00:07:26.000And the tests were actually prompted, a lot of people won't realize this, of the products upon the release of a few new flavors, which, looking back, could have been suspicious.
00:07:36.000Monsanto Mania and Run DDT. It almost seems like that was a canary in the coal mine.
00:07:54.000So, okay, we're going to talk with Blair White about the transgender issue in the military.
00:07:59.000This is something that I think is important that ties in because what we're talking about today with transgenders in the military is not at all the same conversation that we had yesterday or tomorrow.
00:08:08.000And a perfect example is this was on The View.
00:08:10.000One of their hosts went and had an LGBTQAIP panel to prove how beautiful and how we should all be open-minded to the developing community and that these folks are people to be...
00:09:29.000This is a horrible, this is a horrible human being.
00:09:32.000And this is the kind of hypocrisy that we allow to slip by.
00:09:36.000It would be the most horrifying statement on television, would have millions of plays on YouTube, if a guy just flat out, it would be hilarious, but if a guy just flat out said, I only like women for sex!
00:09:45.000I don't want to buy them flowers for dinner.
00:10:45.000Now, it's funny, we used to be accused of strawmanning when we'd write down LGBTQAIP, and then we'd just start writing LGBTQ+. Yeah, it's possibly 5RT, negative, silent Z. A silent Q somewhere in there.
00:10:57.000So we were accused of strawmanning, and even here it has become so wide, the umbrella term here.
00:11:01.000There's LGBTQAIP, there's LGBTQAIP. Q can mean queer.
00:11:06.000Sometimes there's two Qs because it can mean queer and questioning.
00:11:08.000I've seen it a multitude of different ways.
00:11:44.000ABC, NBC, CBS, every single mainstream newspaper, Take Late Night, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Conor, every single person, when they're trying to push this agenda, which completely breaks down the barriers of biology and even, yeah, heteronormative tradition, which has been the bedrock of society since the beginning of time, I think it's important.
00:12:04.000I think culture is upstream from politics, and that's why we're talking about it.
00:12:31.000When somebody else is walking down the street with purple lipstick and looks like the girlfriend from American History X, that's not second nature.
00:13:41.000It's blame it on toxic masculinity, which is a huge irony because the left likes to blame, this includes feminist, LGBTQ, AIP, social justice warriors, and the mainstream platform, including Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton of the DNC. They blame things on toxic masculinity while perpetually trying to make men out to be toxic.
00:14:09.000But when people like this who are perpetual victims see any kind of man who is authoritative, a man who knows what he wants, a man who is able to make decisions, a man who can lead, they see that as aggressive.
00:14:20.000Well, we need to define words like aggressive, and they just file that all under toxic masculinity.
00:14:25.000By the way, no, if you want to talk about, there is one aspect of masculinity in society that's probably become toxic.
00:14:29.000It's the pickup culture of tweeting women, well, tweeting women sometimes, teaching women and treating women.
00:14:36.000There, that was the word I was looking for.
00:14:38.000Anthony Weiner, he's tweeting women, but treating women as though they're nothing more than sex objects, which is what Little Mrs.
00:14:43.000American History X is a purple lipstick.
00:14:45.000Yeah, she is the only toxically masculine archetype there.
00:15:06.000They're going to do it here with the panel.
00:15:07.000And this is the part of the show where the black progressive hosts realize that they are not as progressive as they thought they were, and they're very confused.
00:19:08.000So when we say, you're killing me because you're not creating legislation or maintaining legislation that favors me, it assumes what, like Bernie Sanders always says, that it's a human right.
00:19:32.000And I would like to see your comments here on YouTube or send us your tweets at escrowder, at notkjared, with what you think are actual rights versus commodities.
00:20:53.000A treatment or services created at the risk or investment of a business owner, like health insurance programs based around the concept of an aggregated risk pool balanced with offsetting costs and premiums or deductibles.
00:21:03.000The average annual cost of health care is about 10,000, I think, something, 10,000 something dollars.
00:21:44.000A degree, maybe, from a university whose cost is determined based on a quality of teaching, track record of a graduate, their viabilities, the flexibility of the services offered by the school.
00:21:53.000The average annual cost in public state college is somewhere around $25,000.
00:21:57.000I think a private college is close to $50,000.
00:21:59.000So, again, that costs somebody something.
00:22:26.000You have the right, sure, with the internet to be unimpeded in the purchase of internet access, and I would even say including protection from dishonest inhibitory actions from an internet service provider.
00:22:36.000Good thing is, those are already protected.
00:22:38.000We have these with monopoly laws in the government right now.
00:22:41.000So, that would be your right to go get the internet that you want, the internet plan that you want.
00:24:26.000Well, maybe water itself, if it's filtered, sanitized, pumped directly into your place of dwelling through an intricate system of pipes and technology.
00:24:56.000And if you look at actually on the flip side, rights that conservatism fights for, rights that right now conservatives are fighting for most actively.
00:25:03.000I think we would probably agree conservatives, when you're talking about rights, they're most actively fighting right now for probably freedom of speech and guns.
00:25:28.000Now, here's something, too, that's important to note.
00:25:30.000When conservatives fight for freedom of speech, even if you see the controversy with YouTube having censored some of our content or Facebook, you'll see a lot of conservatives say they actually have the right to do that.
00:26:00.000When we're fighting for it, we're fighting for the right to speak freely, fully understanding that we are not going to be paid to speak freely.
00:27:08.000Sure, you have the right to purchase birth control.
00:27:10.000No, they are taking rights that don't exist, filing them under a term that was not meant for that, and then fighting for the right to force you and I to pay for it through our tax dollars.
00:27:19.000That is a fundamental worldview difference.
00:27:22.000The rights that are outlined and prescribed as per legal documents, they don't even believe exist.
00:27:39.000I think I should have a right to a 25-cent rubber at a truck stop, and you should pay for it.
00:27:42.000This is something that matters so much, because if you start off from a point where you don't even understand the difference between a right or a commodity, it just gets to, you replace right with something I want, well then rights would be ever-changing, and guess what?
00:27:56.000Things that rights would infringe on other rights, because everyone has different things that they want.
00:28:01.000When I was a teenager, I wanted Ellen McPherson in my wall poster to come to life, but it wasn't my right.
00:28:40.000And let history show, as the world will look back on the history of Germany and its people, that at this point, we do not let this bullshyzen that at this point, we do not let this bullshyzen and violation of human rights stand that every man, woman, and child of Germany understood.
00:29:06.000as a brave parable in the book of Hathor once said, that men can have their periods, though!
00:30:23.000Every social media I have was just blowing up media requests, like talk about this, talk about this.
00:30:28.000And like I said, my feelings are a bit mixed.
00:30:31.000I can totally understand how gender dysphoria would be something that would greatly affect performance.
00:30:38.000Then I also think, you know, on the other hand, who am I, like this prissy trainee in California, to tell anyone that if they, like, pass the requirements and, like, go through the psych evaluations, basic training, whatever it is that you guys do, because I'm not a military expert, who am I to sit here, like, in this apartment in L.A. and be like, you can't fight for me?
00:31:27.000So I will say, this is probably the best, most convincing transgender argument to people who aren't in the know, I would say, because no straight cis male can get that bitch.
00:31:59.000And, you know, the thing is, like, in the title of the video, I put in quotation marks because I knew it wasn't going to be some formal, like, pleasant, you know, debate or any type of, like, real substance to it.
00:32:10.000I knew it was going to be me, like, just talking s*** to Onision, and it was a lot of fun.
00:32:14.000Well, it's weird because, like you said, this prissy tranny in California, and you're debating this...
00:32:19.000I don't know, pseudo-emo social justice warrior liberal who's telling you that you're intolerant.
00:32:25.000It's like, what cosmic wormhole did I fall into?
00:32:28.000I think people feel that when they're watching this.
00:32:30.000The roles have reversed so much, it's hard to make sense of.
00:32:35.000Right, and what happens so often with these male feminists is they're so contradictory.
00:32:40.000Because if you look at Onision in particular, his behavior, the way he's treated women and underage girls is absolutely just like...
00:33:41.000We've lowered physical training requirements.
00:33:43.000I mean, just as simple as pull-ups or push-ups, I don't think we should be doing that.
00:33:47.000We've also lowered the threshold for what drill sergeants can do with new recruits in the military because people can be traumatized.
00:33:54.000It's become a much more politically correct environment.
00:33:59.000I don't think Trump handled this very well, the way it was just kind of rolled out, general blanket statement.
00:34:03.000But as someone who very possibly wouldn't pass the psych evaluation to go into the military, I would say that's very similar to not passing the PT requirements.
00:34:15.000Would we agree there's some validity here to, obviously there is some emotional volatility with the trans community or psychiatric volatility, and that needs to be shielded from the military on those grounds.
00:34:30.000I think that what needs to happen is people need to be evaluated individually because there are people who say they transitioned earlier and they don't have any gender dysphoria really at all left.
00:34:41.000It really should be individual case-by-case basis.
00:34:44.000And so I do agree that the way it was handled, like the blanket statement, is weird.
00:34:48.000And immediately when this happened, my mind didn't go to like future trans people trying to join the military.
00:34:55.000It went to people who are already there.
00:35:13.000And that currently is unclear if that's going to happen.
00:35:16.000That's true, and that's a valid point, and I think that's a real problem with, basically, you know, when I went and entertained the troops, and they weren't allowed to speak on the record, but Barack Obama, the social justice warrior in chief, turned the military for the first time into a social justice sort of petri dish, an experiment, whereas the military was always supposed to be devoid of that for a long time.
00:35:34.000And so he rushed things quickly that maybe they weren't necessarily ready for, and now, like you said, it's like, hold on a second, we've run into some issues.
00:35:42.000Something we were talking about, obviously we've talked about this in the show, The trans suicide rate being higher.
00:35:47.000Well, there is an issue, not Gay Jared brought this up, that someone in the military, right?
00:35:52.000Unironically, CNN released a study right alongside the announcement of Trump in the transgender military saying a suicide attempt in an army unit can lead to more study finds.
00:36:02.000Basically, it says, hey, if one even post...
00:36:09.000If one of those people in the unit commits suicide, there's a very, very high chance of other people from that division not be able to cope with that and also committing suicide.
00:36:17.000So if we're taking people, I'll let you make the point, but if we're taking people who are from the cis population have these problems, I can only imagine it gets much worse with the transgender population.
00:36:27.000And that's why psych evaluations are frequent.
00:36:29.000And I think that would be a valid conversation to have, but that's not how it was brought up by the president.
00:36:36.000Yeah, and the problem, I think you talked about this on your show before.
00:36:39.000The word transgender has just been so inflated that it includes so many things.
00:36:44.000And so the problem is, when you use the word now, you kind of also are talking about people who don't have a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
00:36:52.000And so a lot of these people being kept out could very well be completely stable individuals.
00:37:01.000It's because of a lot that it's kind of confusing.
00:37:02.000Yeah, I think, honestly, people wouldn't have nearly as big of an issue if it weren't for, sorry, Jared, censor button, if it weren't for the social justice warrior bullshit that comes along with it.
00:37:10.000Listen, the last, I mean, you know, having a conversation with Onision is exhausting, right?
00:37:14.000We can have a conversation and it's fun.
00:37:24.000People don't need that at the front of their mind.
00:37:26.000I think that's the big issue now is because the trans people, the people in a trans community who are asshole-ish scream the Absolutely and that's the part that I struggle with and maybe you do as well.
00:37:38.000It's like trying to decipher if it's really the majority of them or if it's just we're so involved in these conversations on the internet that it really seems that way because when I think about it I have met most trans people I've met disagree with most if not all of like the crazy activist stuff and that gives me hope and in fact Interesting story.
00:37:57.000The first trans person I ever met and who kind of helped me find my way was actually an ex-Marine.
00:38:05.000And it was a transgender man, and he served for a very long time.
00:38:09.000And he was like the most badass person I ever knew, the most amazing person I've ever met.
00:38:13.000And so that's another part of me that's like, well, it's so hard to say.
00:38:28.000Well, that's where a disagreement we had where if people watch contextually my interview with a psychiatrist where I said, you know, today's trans have more in common with transvestites of Europe.
00:40:13.000That does concern me because it's like, regardless of how anyone feels about anyone's lifestyle or whatever, I'm sure there's plenty of people in the military whose lifestyles I don't agree with.
00:40:27.000I still are like red blooded Americans who put their lives on the line and potentially are willing to make like the ultimate sacrifice giving up their lives for their country.
00:40:35.000So the idea of them losing their benefits and everything that they deserve is is troublesome to me.
00:40:44.000And you're able to often discuss this and recognize it, especially in the military, it really is about the health of the unit.
00:40:50.000So that's where, how the unit functions does matter.
00:40:54.000And that's why some people, who doesn't mean they're bad people, doesn't mean that they shouldn't be allowed in other realms of society, are not an effective part of the military unit.
00:41:01.000A lot of things people don't understand about the military with women on the, the retreat rates are higher because women on the front lines with men, men typically went to war to protect women.
00:42:13.000That's one of those things, it's just, when women talk about certain things they don't have, or now it's even sillier, we're like, gosh, I had a guy open the door for me, I had someone catcall me.
00:42:31.000There's give and take, and it's like, Honestly, this brings you back to my old like MRA days when I was like 18, but it's like men have Every disadvantage, and women have none.
00:42:42.000It's kind of crazy, actually, when you really think about it.
00:42:45.000Especially legally, you know what I mean?
00:42:46.000More prison time for the same crime, etc.
00:42:49.000Yeah, and then prison time is distinctly less pleasant for men when we go to prison.
00:43:01.000How would you ideally see this scenario play out?
00:43:03.000Because we've seen the outrage there on both sides.
00:43:07.000I How would this ideally move forward, do you think, in a way that's fair but also conducive toward the most effective fighting force on Earth?
00:43:18.000It's so hard to say because I know people with severe acne can't even join the military because that has other side effects psychologically, which is crazy.
00:43:27.000But I think that individuals should just be screened individually.
00:43:30.000I think that if you can pass the test, you can fight.
00:43:32.000However, what are your thoughts on trans people serving in other capacities?
00:43:56.000It's a discussion that I think still needs to be entertained because, again, of the dynamic of a unit.
00:44:01.000And I do think that with the military, it comes down to purely a numbers game.
00:44:05.000In other words, if this makes this unit 12% less effective at fighting, I think it's totally fine to be discriminatory in the military in those capacities because these people are going out to die.
00:44:14.000But like you said, it's hard to find those numbers.
00:44:16.000That being said, I'm fine with a woman doing a job in the military that she can do as well or better than a man.
00:44:21.000We just know that's not fighting at the front lines.
00:44:24.000So that would tend to be my position on it, but we would need to see.
00:44:28.000This is why the military is not meant to be a social experiment.
00:44:31.000The only goal of it is to kill people as effectively as possible.
00:44:36.000Whatever does that, to me, is the most important role in the military.
00:44:54.000I think it was too blanketed, and it didn't allow for a conversation that should happen.
00:44:58.000No, and it kind of sucks because, like, I'm a Trump supporter, and I voted for Trump, so, like, I'm more willing to, like, give him the benefit of the doubt and, like, look into things past just the tweets, but it sucks that, like, The rest of the country just sees tweets and they don't really look further and it becomes more ammunition against him.
00:45:32.000I think it's important to know exactly where he stands and what the policy is so that the people can know if they actually agree with it or disagree with it.
00:45:38.000And then certainly for people like you and myself, so that then we can at least argue one side that's definitive.
00:45:56.000Like, it's all very arbitrary and a lot of it's still not out yet.
00:46:00.000So it sounds like, would you be advocating, I guess, at least if we were to say blanketed, more concrete, meaning, okay, someone needs to have gone through these stages of transition so we can identify them and know where to put them as opposed to gender fluidity, you know, in the military?
00:46:16.000Yeah, because I mean, there are a lot of documentaries about trans people in the military and most of them are honestly like trans men who are like on testosterone and like they've completely transitioned and like they're just kind of badasses and it's kind of cool to watch actually.
00:46:30.000Sometimes they strangle Ben Shapiro live on air.
00:47:01.000Like you said, it's not a social experiment.
00:47:03.000Well, especially if we're also going to talk about, you know, we have liberals coming out when it's convenient talking about rape culture in the military.
00:47:08.000It's like, okay, well, listen, you have a bunch of people who are going out to war who just killed folks, right?
00:47:13.000Saw pink mist, and they're coming back, and they're amped up, and then you put a woman in their barracks, and they're in their shower, and that's a problem.
00:47:19.000And so it's the same thing when it comes to the trans issue.
00:47:22.000We need to know where to put them because, again, effective fighting military unit, you can't just have someone who's gender fluid who goes wherever they want on any given day Because then you're encouraging, quote-unquote, rape culture.
00:47:33.000Which, by the way, is not nearly as much of a problem in the military as the media has made it out to be.
00:47:52.000Miss Blair White, where is the best place for people to find you here?
00:47:55.000you here we have to get going uh youtube.com slash blair white x and my twitter is twitter.com ms blair white thank you Well, thanks so much for coming on.
00:48:05.000It just happened to be, I guess, providential.
00:48:06.000It was just we were going to talk about Onision, and instead we talked about the most topical issue of the day.
00:49:22.000Dude, nah, it's that kind of stupid sh** that shows just how ignorant you are, Josephine.
00:49:26.000He is a legitimate, qualified sound technician from a trade school, and he's traveling the whole damn world working with sound-related appliances.
00:49:34.000If your fingers weren't too fat to operate a tricaster, maybe you could try it every once in a while.
00:50:19.000And that's the beauty of the daily show, which you get the show once a week for free, and you get clips, but you don't see the full daily show.
00:50:40.000If at this point you watch Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, Seth, all of the above ABC, NBC, CBS, and you don't see the need for any alternatives out there, then there is no convincing you.
00:50:55.000If you want to see Not Gay Jared and Sound Guy Edward and everyone else involved with the program who puts out the daily content, Not Destitute, and Out in the Street...
00:51:04.000And you understand the value and alternative to all the late night entertainment shows.
00:51:11.000Go ahead and join yourself in my club.
00:51:16.000It's better to have loved and lost than ever to have loved at all.
00:51:28.000It's better to have loved and lost All right, glad to have our next guest.
00:51:34.000He's been on the show before, so it's kind of like we always say that when people return as guests, it's sort of like Carson bringing someone over to the couch, except we are not successful like Johnny Carson.
00:51:46.000Often with superhero films, the origin story is like you've got to introduce the audience to the person, so they have to kind of explain what they're about.
00:51:51.000His book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, you can follow him on Twitter.
00:52:59.000In order to see this quote-unquote documentary, because I wanted to be able to credibly comment on it in advance, and particularly to write a review of it.
00:53:18.000If Al Gore is attending the screening, which I would imagine with a red carpet premiere, just walk up to him wearing open-toed shoes, you're golden.
00:53:27.000We've had Anne McElhinney on the show, specifically because she did Not Evil Just Wrong, where she went through a few key predictions from An Inconvenient Truth, the first one, that were verifiably false, right?
00:53:39.000I mean, to the point where it's embarrassing.
00:53:48.000It's interesting because one of his prominent quote-unquote predictions was that there would be 20-foot sea level rises.
00:53:54.000Now, he didn't specify the exact timetable, but we were led to believe that it would be several decades.
00:53:59.000And even if you look at the UN, which I think relies heavily on climate prediction models that can't predict climate, even they say things like, two feet.
00:54:08.000So Gore has this ingenious thing, sort of, where he starts out and he quotes a chorus of people whom he later explains to us are either fools or shills from the fossil fuel industry, and they are ridiculing Gore.
00:54:21.000And one of the things they say is that, oh, you said sea levels would rise 20 feet.
00:54:25.000And I perked up and I thought, wow, how's he going to get out of this one?
00:54:28.000Because they definitely didn't and definitely aren't.
00:54:31.000And what he did is he just brought up this chorus to bring forward this idea that since an inconvenient truth, Al Gore has been victimized by fools and shills.
00:54:41.000That's premise number one of the movie, who claim that he over-predicted these things.
00:54:47.000Well, first off, even if that were true, it still doesn't answer the 20 feet question, but I'm tracking.
00:54:51.000Right, but he's sort of, he's making it seem like he's going to.
00:54:55.000And then he says, then kind of premise two is, well, on the renewables replacing fossil fuels issue, that's totally happening.
00:55:04.000And he gives a whole bunch of anecdotes, which is distinct from data.
00:55:08.000He gives a whole bunch of anecdotes allegedly proving that.
00:55:11.000And then he gives a whole bunch of anecdotes proving climate has gotten worse.
00:55:16.000But he never quite addresses the 20-foot thing.
00:55:19.000And then you step back and you think, wait, He never actually proved any of these are trends.
00:55:24.000He just gave us anecdotes that make us think that the trends exist.
00:55:29.000Fortunately, professionally, I study the trends, so I know the trends.
00:55:34.000I found there's not evil just wrong, but it's really evil to manipulate data to make a trend seem like the opposite of what it is.
00:55:44.000I can elaborate, but the trends In terms of how vital fossil fuels are and how safe we are from climate are the exact opposite of what this manipulative movie says they are.
00:55:55.000One second, Naki-Jer's going to have a heart attack.
00:56:19.000And then, of course, another one was this proliferation of disease and natural disasters.
00:56:23.000Did he address any of those specifics?
00:56:27.000Because a part of me did think with the first inconvenient truth, like, hey, this is kind of ballsy to put out predictions that you can be called on, but not if you just don't actually answer people calling you on it.
00:56:40.000I think there's a great lesson in the movie because it feels like he's addressing them because he gives you anecdotes that if those anecdotes were generally the case, would vindicate him.
00:56:51.000And you don't know in the movie that those anecdotes aren't generally the case.
00:56:54.000So let's just take severe drought or something like that.
00:56:58.000So he'll show a drought in Syria, then he makes a whole bunch of bogus foreign policy connections.
00:57:38.000That seems like it's the result of global warming, climate change.
00:57:41.000I mean, this is, I talk a little bit about the history of some of these immoral case for fossil fuels because they act like, oh, these things have never crossed any borders before.
00:57:49.000Malaria is a disease of just the cold.
00:58:05.000That's what allows us to make progress.
00:58:07.000So the idea that we should de-energize our society, restrict people's fossil fuels, and then disease will get better, that's the opposite.
00:58:14.000Disease deaths are on the decline, but only as long as we continue industrial development.
00:58:18.000Well, what if they say, okay, we understand that, that disease is on a decline or deaths are lowered now because of technology with drought, but it's a ticking time bomb.
00:58:27.000We can only do this for so long before we run out of resources.
00:58:30.000Hence, you know, I know Al Gore makes a strong, well...
00:58:33.000Al Gore makes a passionate argument for replacing everything with wind or solar.
00:58:38.000Now, we've talked about in our program Germany and having to sell off energy at net negative prices because solar is so unreliable and having energy droughts themselves.
00:58:47.000But if he says, okay, yeah, technology, the industrial revolution has let us out.
00:59:44.000It seemed like every other day there was something on the Nat Geo channel or Discovery channel about peak oil.
00:59:50.000I haven't heard peak oil in years, Alex.
00:59:55.000Yeah, I was writing about oil when I was ridiculed for believing that peak oil is bogus.
01:00:02.000Really, if you understand economics, this whole issue of depletion and replacement is just what the whole question is, what's the best form of energy right now and in the foreseeable future?
01:00:12.000And we have this amazing thing called freedom and a market, which allows us to decide that.
01:00:16.000And then if we start to run low on something or if the price goes up, then we start to replace it.
01:00:22.000But Gore is not an advocate of superior replacements because he's against nuclear power, he's against hydropower, he's against fracking.
01:00:29.000He's in favor of inferior replacements, the so-called solar and wind renewables, which are properly called unreliables.
01:00:39.000You know, it's funny because that just shows us how some issues are politicized specifically with the national borders.
01:00:45.000An example we used was this idea of suppressors, silencers on guns.
01:00:48.000You know, here in the United States, they're opposed by the anti-gun lobbyists because they say, you know, everyone's going to be an assassin.
01:00:53.000Everyone's going to be a Corleone going around killing people in their face falling in spaghetti and meatballs.
01:00:57.000Whereas in the UK, where they have much more stringent gun laws, it's considered rude in many parts to not hunt with a suppressor.
01:02:22.000Isn't CO2 supposed to be the catastrophe of the century?
01:02:25.000You're not willing to dam a river to stave off the catastrophe of the century?
01:02:30.000You're not willing to risk a meltdown to stave off the – And what you find is that, no, because the environmentalism has only supported one form of energy in its entire history, and that is imaginary energy.
01:02:42.000They only support sources that don't work as long as they don't work, because every source of energy has a major impact.
01:02:49.000So as soon as solar becomes practical, they'll say, oh my gosh, it's destroying our countryside.
01:03:42.000I won't say pirate it, but that's one thing you can do to help the world.
01:03:46.000I've heard you haven't seen it because the promotional material and budget really has gone into 2031 when they're releasing and giving it True 3.
01:04:14.000brother we'll be back viewer discretion is advised bad girls what you want what you want what you want to do when they when they come for you bad girls bad girls what you gonna do Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
01:04:43.000Bad girls, bad girls, whatcha gonna do?
01:04:46.000Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
01:04:50.000Feminist Cops is filmed on location with the brave, strong women of law enforcement.
01:04:55.000All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
01:04:58.000One officer down, corner of 5th and Main requesting backup.
01:06:59.000Do you realize, honestly, nobody takes a bigger steaming fecal pile on our show than us.
01:07:06.000Something I find funny is when you look at people actually, the way they attack our show and our joke writing or us dressing as women, they're taking insults that we wrote against ourselves with the Hitler sketch.
01:08:21.000Speaking of cruelty, so this is something, you know, people were talking about the Jordan Peterson test, and I scored off the charts in compassion, but not so much in politeness, which I think some people may have been surprised.
01:08:32.000I don't think people who are Mug Club members who watch the show with any great regularity...
01:08:41.000And that's why we never take pot shots like the Young Turks or like the left without offering them recourse.
01:08:46.000If we go after someone, if we attack somebody, and they say, hey, that's not correct, we want to come on the show, we'll always allow them that platform.
01:08:53.000It doesn't mean everybody's allowed this platform at any time because you have two followers and an egg avatar.
01:08:58.000Some of these channels like Young Turks have made an entire career, an entire platform off of punching down.
01:09:06.000And that was kind of Onision until Blair White.
01:09:09.000You know, for a long time, Blair White was a tiny channel, and then he wanted to debate her when she was a bigger channel, when Blair White was a bigger channel.
01:09:21.000So, here's something that's important to note.
01:09:23.000And I was talking with Owen Benjamin about this.
01:09:26.000I always hated, it was really hard for me to get along with people in the entertainment industry because of how jackass-ish they were, because of how leftist and elitist they were.
01:09:37.000And then I always felt really pretty lonely with conservatives because of how, when I was at Fox News for four and a half years, because it wasn't necessarily a very creative environment.
01:09:46.000And I didn't relate to them a whole bunch.
01:09:49.000Now, the reason I disliked the left when I was in the entertainment industry was because they were bullies.
01:09:52.000I learned pretty early on being dropped from management for making fun of any, pick the liberal cause du jour, whether it was being banned from a college or getting calls to my management for making a Muhammad joke at the university cultural fair week, or cultural appreciation fair week.
01:10:06.000I don't know what it was, but I had these run-ins pretty early on.
01:10:09.000That being said, I was bullied a lot as a kid.
01:10:10.000I think a lot of people here were bullied a lot as a kid.
01:10:12.000I know Owen and I were talking about it.
01:10:13.000Most comedians were bullied a lot as a kid.
01:10:15.000Most creative types were bullied a lot.
01:10:18.000Which is why I hate this narrative that's put out there now that the LGBTQ AIP are the only people who are bullied.
01:10:25.000And I think that's where some people maybe mistake it as a lack of compassion.
01:10:29.000I was talking with Jordan Peterson about this.
01:10:31.000My first instinct, honestly, you know, with the Cenk Uygur thing, when I hijacked his stage, I felt bad about that.
01:10:38.000I was like, ah, maybe we shouldn't upload this because...
01:10:40.000We planned on making a joke out of it, but then when there were so few people in the audience, I said, you could pick a show of mine in anywhere USA that wasn't well promoted, and it could look really bad.
01:12:06.000But then you realize, hold on a second, this person is actively trying to remove the freedoms of other people.
01:12:10.000This person is actively trying to remove the freedom of speech of other people.
01:12:13.000This person, who just so happens to be a land whale, is actively trying to remove your God-given right to self-protection through the Second Amendment.
01:12:20.000And then you realize, hold on a second, not only are they trying personally, but every single person In the industry that up until recently, thanks to the internet, controlled the entire flow of information, are backing them up.
01:12:34.000And if you got a swirly when you were younger, you had someone call you a name, and I'm sorry if someone made fun of you because you were gay or you were trans.
01:12:46.000And just being silent and being intimidated can't be confused with compassion.
01:12:51.000And the left today, this is what Owen talked about as well, they are the bully pulpit.
01:12:55.000I wonder if I were born in a different era, if I would have probably gone after maybe the Christian conservatives.
01:13:02.000You know, in the Brady Bunch era, I wonder if, because everyone said, this is the way you have to be, I've naturally had a problem with authority, as seen in the personality assessment test with Jordan Peterson.
01:13:11.000I would have rejected that because they were the bullies at one point.
01:13:15.000Anytime someone's saying you have to be this way, or when conservatives or Christians were trying to actively censor speech at one point, I would have been fighting against that.
01:13:22.000But we are in an era right now where the bullying comes entirely from the left.
01:14:11.000I see a lot of people saying, you know, I just got an email this week, actually a direct message on Twitter saying, you know, I don't want people to think that I'm this horrible person.
01:14:33.000The truth is we're at a point where you can't.
01:14:35.000You can't, and it doesn't matter because you will be seen as the bully, even though, right now, to walk back up to the LGBTQAAIP, to The View, to all of Late Night, all of mainstream media, all of the DNC, YouTube, Facebook, who helped a man get killed, will be killed in Pakistan for blasphemy laws.
01:14:56.000These people are the bullies, and you can't, you can't balance that with the perception of compassion.
01:15:04.000Because the people who have set up the bully pulpit, and I've realized that this week, they have deliberately stacked the cards against you so that if you speak up at all, you will automatically be assumed guilty of a lack of compassion.
01:15:16.000So at this point, if you know you're compassionate, if you know that you care about people, No guilt.
01:15:22.000Speak truth and understand that today in 2017, it doesn't matter who the president is, there is a bully pulpit the likes of which we've never seen.
01:15:28.000They are trying to determine what you can say, what you can do, and even what you can think, and what the rest of us can even think collectively.
01:15:36.000And I do want to see more people going out there speaking truth than trying to feign compassion.
01:15:40.000Don't feel guilty about it because I did for a long time.
01:15:44.000And I'll rightfully admit that was a byproduct of my upbringing.
