I've done stories about Drag Queen Story Hour in public schools right here in the United States
0.62
00:00:05.260
of America. That's a program that started in San Francisco and it made its way from public libraries
00:00:10.620
to public school classrooms. So your tax dollars are paying for these people in a lot of places
00:00:16.560
in this country to come and read to your kids in outrageous outfits. Maybe not that outrageous,
00:00:21.040
not yet. Five years from now, conservatives will be in favor of those monkey dildo outfits in our
0.91
00:00:25.320
public schools, but it's happening across the country. I have documented cases of it and people
00:00:31.240
are like, oh no, it's fine. It's fine. I remember I was part of an organization that wanted to not have
00:00:36.980
Drag Queen Story Hour and I would get feedback from conservatives because they come up with a list
00:00:42.040
of things of what we don't want in the classroom. They're like, that's a little extreme. You're
00:00:46.020
really trying to ideologically police the classroom. It's like, do you not see what's happening here?
00:00:51.300
Like, this is, they're so far beyond, it's to your point earlier, they've accepted such high
00:00:57.720
levels of extremism in our everyday lives that you can't even say, don't have drag queens read
0.98
00:01:04.100
stories about transitioning genders to our five-year-olds?
00:01:13.940
Sean Fitzgerald is a YouTuber and political commentator who focuses on social issues, media
00:01:19.100
analysis, and current events. He's been featured on Blaze TV and Tim Pool's Timcast. We even started
00:01:24.900
our YouTube channels a mere two months apart from each other. Sean, thanks for joining me. How are
00:01:32.160
I'm doing good and I'm glad to be here. I didn't know that about the two months apart thing.
00:01:36.620
Yeah, I checked that when I was going through some of your videos and I was like, I know I started
00:01:41.800
watching him way back in the day and yeah, it was two months apart in 2016 that we started our
00:01:48.580
YouTube channels. Sean, I wanted to give people an idea of where you are, where you started,
00:01:54.720
why did you start your whole channel and how did you get to this point?
00:01:58.920
Well, the way I started the channel was basically due to bad criminal justice coverage since that's
00:02:04.720
what I studied when I was in school. Those are issues that I'm concerned about. So a huge portion
00:02:09.360
of my channel is dedicated to law-based videos or like the case of the day, like a Michael Brown or
00:02:15.720
George Floyd or any of these familiar cases. So I like to break those down and determine what's
00:02:21.020
actually true versus what's being put forward by the media. And in terms of where I am on the
00:02:27.920
political spectrum, I would be considered like a right-leaning libertarian.
00:02:32.460
Now, a lot of the commentary on your channel is culture topics. Like you said, there's the stuff
00:02:38.860
about the cases of the day, but a lot of it is culture stuff. And that's, I think that's what
00:02:43.140
drew me in the most way back in the day. I want to show this video you had, which shows a vice piece
00:02:50.080
about a race camp. And I want to get you to explain it. So let's go ahead and play that.
00:02:55.340
Ridiculous, absurd, insane. And this is just the first 15 seconds of the video.
0.96
00:03:00.020
So this is what they call a privilege line. And they ask a series of questions about how you may
00:03:06.600
be privileged in life. And if you can see towards the front, it's mostly white male. In the back,
00:03:13.600
it's mostly black women. The vice guy explains the premise. The point of the questions is not
0.83
00:03:18.680
to determine anything objective. It's not actually to determine privilege. It's an exercise in
00:03:23.560
ignorance. But the whole goal is to get white males to the front and black women to the back,
1.00
00:03:28.900
which by the way, you could skip all these stupid steps and say, white males go to the front,
1.00
00:03:33.100
black women go to the back. Look at all this oppression that we've created artificially
1.00
00:03:36.960
with our stupid ass questions. If you do not have to think about race and racism every day,
1.00
00:03:42.800
take a step forward. So what exactly is the purpose of this camp? Do you think it's really weird?
00:03:50.140
It is. It is really strange. Like I think the purpose of the camp, if we're going to cut through
00:03:54.600
all the nonsense, is for the guy who's running the camp to make $500 per student for five days
00:04:00.780
worth of courses. But it's really an indoctrination camp. Like these kids are being taught about white
0.89
00:04:07.020
privilege. They're being taught to like hate their ancestry. If they're not white, they're being taught
0.94
00:04:11.900
to love their ancestry and that they're being oppressed by white people. It's like the same
0.97
00:04:16.760
shtick that we heard about being taught in our schools. And this camp is actually being run
00:04:21.340
by a school teacher in the state of Arizona. So this guy in his off time is working in the public
00:04:27.240
schools. But it's basically an indoctrination camp. And one of the most interesting things about it
00:04:32.400
is before they had this camp and they would teach like a colorblind approach. And the guy is critical
00:04:39.140
of that. So they've totally revamped it. And now they're teaching racism of the gaps and all these
00:04:44.720
other things that we've come to associate with the modern left. Why would somebody really go to this
00:04:50.580
camp? Or if it's for children, why would they send their children there? What do you think
00:04:54.720
causes a person to be in this mindset, whereas they feel that they should be going to a camp where
00:05:00.480
basically, I'd imagine they use the term deconstruct their whiteness?
00:05:05.960
I can't speak to what parents are thinking when they're doing that. All I can hope for is that these
00:05:12.660
aren't parents being tricked into sending their kids there. One of the things that I found very
00:05:16.540
troubling about the camp is you actually get community service credit, which is needed to
00:05:21.340
graduate high school from attending this thing. And this is not community service.
00:05:26.440
This isn't anything of educational value, in my opinion. But I would hope that it's just crummy
00:05:32.040
parents that are going to teach their kids this crap anyway, that are sending their students to
1.00
00:05:36.700
this camp. But overall, like it's a mixture of that, a mixture of we got to send our kids somewhere
0.96
00:05:41.900
because we don't want them around during the summer, and a mixture of the school is actually
00:05:45.680
giving them credit for attending this thing, which is ridiculous.
00:05:49.520
So why do you think Vice has come a long way? Why do you think they want to perpetuate something
00:05:53.860
like this? I don't see a lot of, you know, actual interaction with Vice as much as I used to,
00:06:00.980
because I think everybody knows what they're doing. But why do you think Vice puts,
00:06:05.860
puts, what's the word I'm looking for, puts fuel to this fire? Why do you think they present
00:06:10.020
these types of topics? I mean, it's, it's interesting, because Vice is known for going
00:06:15.080
where people wouldn't normally go, like North Korea is the big one. Yeah, you remember that
00:06:19.700
segment, they go into war zones and all this. If you see the intro for their old HBO show, you're
00:06:24.260
like, Oh, this is like a serious on the ground young guys doing news organization. And but these
00:06:30.700
segments, they just, they're just all about promoting an ideology. And we know where journalists
00:06:37.000
tend to lead on the political spectrum in the United States of America. I think this dates back
00:06:41.700
to the university where journalists are taught not about finding truth, but they're taught about
00:06:46.300
like being agents of social change, which is incompatible with being an objective reporter
00:06:51.460
if you're literally promoting your agenda for social change. So I think that there's a belief
00:06:56.680
among the people at Vice that this is an objective good for the world. And that's why they're sending
00:07:02.800
their reporters out to these camps. And interestingly enough, if you, if you watch the segment carefully,
00:07:08.660
they actually say that they're not allowed to film certain exercises at the camp. So they're going
00:07:14.600
there, they're doing this propaganda piece for this camp, but they're not allowed to film the actual
00:07:20.400
exercises. So they're being constrained by the camp, they can only film what they're told to film,
00:07:25.400
which is like the antithesis of what you expect from Vice, which again, is known for going to places
00:07:30.000
like North Korea. Yeah. It used to be that you're not supposed to inject your, your feeling of this
00:07:37.780
is what's right. And I must get it across because who are you to decide what people should or should
00:07:42.260
not believe. But now it's more of a, I have to do this. It's for the greater good to show, you know,
00:07:47.340
white people are advantaged in some way and not to say that they can't be. It's just that teaching
0.51
00:07:52.940
children that they're inherently, you know, privileged or inherently disprivileged is a thing that I think
00:07:58.880
everyone can agree hasn't worked out so far, or at least anyone that I would respect and listen to.
00:08:04.360
Another wonderful publication called Vox, you did a video on, and they talked about meritocracy
00:08:10.280
basically being one of the worst things in the world. You covered this on your channel.
00:08:14.140
And I felt like it was mainly having to do with meritocracy and academics was not the best way
00:08:20.460
to progress. And it is not a good thing for it to, to, to get into good schools or to advance in
00:08:26.900
your social life through academics. Um, let's just show a clip of what I'm talking about.
00:08:31.700
Did you think that there was meritocracy in the United States of America? Well,
00:08:35.080
let, let, let me just tell you, Vox is going to prove you wrong because it's not a meritocracy.
00:08:39.940
It's racist, sexist, and all these things combined together. Let's get into the video.
00:08:44.380
This is my high school. Murray Bertram High School for Business Careers. As you can see,
00:08:48.880
we're directly next to, yeah, surrounded by one police plaza. So Bertram is viewed as one of the
00:08:55.500
worst schools in the city. Like I had to kind of join an elite group within this high school to
00:09:00.640
stay afloat. So we are less than 30 seconds into the video and the host of glad you asked this lady
00:09:06.840
right here has already completely undercut the premise. She talked about how she went to one of
00:09:11.820
the worst high schools in New York city, but because she stuck with a good crowd, she was able to power
1.00
00:09:18.180
through. And now she's a successful race grifter on Vox getting funded by YouTube, our corporate
1.00
00:09:24.580
overlords. What a great show. Totally appreciate it. Please corporate overlords. Be nice to me
00:09:29.420
because I'm responding to the thing that you paid for our meritocracy because it's based on competition
00:09:33.920
worship superiority rather than excellence. Again, this is a weird framing of the United States
00:09:39.180
of America that we worship superiority. If you can't figure out where this is going,
00:09:43.240
if you can't kind of gleam where this is heading, then you haven't been paying attention to this
00:09:48.180
channel. Maybe this is your first video. If so, definitely subscribe, support me on Patreon,
00:09:52.100
whatever, doesn't matter. Support the sponsor. I feel like for so much of my education and childhood,
00:09:57.100
it was just like studying hard for tests specifically to prove that I'm good enough through tests.
00:10:01.820
So we hear everything is white supremacy these days. What do you think? And I always try to do this.
0.52
00:10:07.120
I was doing this on a show yesterday. I want to try to find the best case scenario or give the
00:10:12.240
biggest benefit of the doubt to the counter argument so that we can tackle it honestly.
00:10:16.580
What do you think is the best possible characterization of the argument presented in
00:10:20.740
this meritocracy is a lie argument? Well, I think there is, I think there is like some
00:10:28.040
kernels of truth in this segment. It's a terrible segment. If you watch my video, you know, that's
00:10:32.260
how I feel about it. But the idea that we have equal opportunity is just not something that is real.
00:10:38.680
Like we don't and we shouldn't strive for it either, because in order to create a scenario
00:10:43.960
for us to have equal opportunity, we would essentially have to kidnap children through
0.72
00:10:48.600
the state when they're age four and put them through a government run institution in order
00:10:53.680
for them to all have the same exact shot. Like we understand that when you have certain levels
00:10:58.660
of freedom in a society that your parents are going to succeed. And it's human nature to want
00:11:03.900
to protect and leave something for your children. So obviously, current opportunities are skewed and
00:11:11.180
altered by meritocratic decisions of the past. And even the box segment recognizes this, that the
00:11:17.560
former meritocrats are doing everything in their power to make sure their kids have an advantage.
00:11:22.900
Now, the disagreement that I would have with an organization like box is they'll look at the
00:11:28.300
highest end private schools say that they spend 70 something thousand dollars on their kids in those
00:11:34.420
private schools. And the American population's public schools are only spending like twelve thousand
00:11:39.380
five hundred dollars. And they'll say, look, this is horrible. We have to do something about it.
00:11:43.720
But I point out in the video that the American government spends more on public education than any
00:11:50.160
other school across the across the world. So any other school system. So like we should try to
00:11:56.580
increase the number of opportunities rather than striving toward the this like fabled equal
0.99
00:12:03.060
opportunity. And one of the things that they do, that is a huge problem. And you can see it throughout
00:12:07.480
their segment is they'll measure outcomes and work their way back to assume that there is no equal
00:12:12.940
opportunity. And that's also just not true. You'll see certain kids performing in these failed schools
00:12:18.460
like the school featured with the host that she went to a failed school and they have the same set up,
00:12:24.940
the same opportunities as these other kids. They're just outperforming them. So they downplay the
00:12:30.100
individual choices. They obviously target like the super high end of private schools and they use
00:12:37.420
outcomes to measure lack of opportunity. And it's just to me, it's nonsensical. Again, equal opportunity
00:12:43.800
is a fable. We shouldn't strive for it. We should strive for increasing the overall number of opportunities.
00:12:49.180
And every time we've done that, marginalized people throughout history have done better in
00:12:54.220
our systems. That's like the point of the SATs. What would you say if I told you like as a socialist
00:13:00.640
argument and counter to that, that if we had all the schools being exactly the same, there was no
00:13:06.080
private, it was all only public schools, would it not then have still the best students outperforming
00:13:12.480
each other? And then at the very least, they're all coming from the level playing field. We'd still have
00:13:16.920
a sort of meritocracy where the best performers would come out on top.
00:13:21.260
I mean, there's, there's only so much you can do in the school system. So a lot of the decisions
00:13:25.640
for children are made by the parents before those children are born. So we've seen throughout our
0.98
00:13:31.440
history, Jewish kids, Italian kids, Asian kids outperform other kids and other demographics
00:13:38.960
sitting right next to them in the classroom. And that's because a lot of this comes from what's
00:13:44.480
going on at home. This is why like you can spend more money on the schools. We've been trying this
00:13:49.500
policy for decades in New Jersey. It's actually unconstitutional for schools to not have equal
00:13:56.380
funding in their public school system. And it hasn't solved the problem because a lot of these
00:14:01.020
problems stem from people's home lives. Like the government can't make your parents be together
00:14:06.580
before they're born. And Thomas Sowell refers to this as a cosmic injustice. Like, sure, you are
00:14:12.120
disadvantaged. If you come from a single parent household, that's a cosmic injustice. But what do
00:14:16.900
we do in response to that? Do we try to give you the most amount of opportunities in your life going
00:14:22.180
through the system and, you know, try to improve your chances of improving? Or do we restrict the
00:14:27.540
rights freedoms of other people who weren't born with that cosmic injustice, punish them for mistakes
00:14:33.820
made in the past? And I don't think we punish current students and current parents who made good
00:14:39.680
choices for the mistakes of other people in the name of some kind of equality. That doesn't make
00:14:45.380
sense. That's not something I value. I've spoken to a few guests, Sam Sorbo being one of them.
00:14:51.260
She's the wife of Kevin Sorbo, TV's Hercules in Canada. She's all for abolishing public schools
1.00
00:14:58.400
altogether, if I'm not misquoting her, would refer to it as an indoctrination center for the state.
00:15:03.700
How far would you be willing to go on that idea? I mean, I would be in favor of massively expanding
00:15:10.100
school choice because there are some people who can't afford to send their kids to school. This
00:15:14.340
is like the great bargain. And, you know, schools are running the local level, so there's a better
00:15:18.980
constitutional case since the states can do things that the federal government can't hear. But I would
00:15:23.780
be in favor of expanding charter schools so parents can send their kids to schools. Like, one of the
00:15:28.820
things that was featured in this video was the host talking about how she tried to apply into better
0.64
00:15:34.040
schools, didn't get into them, and then she had to choose in the second round. And they criticized the
00:15:39.400
idea that you would test into certain schools in the public school system, but the alternative is
00:15:45.300
you go to a zip code school. And what we find in a lot of these zip code schools is that they're
00:15:50.520
perpetual failures, and they never face the consequences of those failures because they always have a supply
00:15:56.180
of students. So I would be for greatly expanding school choice. We see people waiting online for
00:16:02.680
lotteries. Like, it's one of the most frustrating things as somebody who watches the Republican Party
00:16:07.500
fail in all these major cities to win over votes, that you have people lining up for Republican policy,
00:16:14.980
a charter school lottery, and they can't convert those people into voters. So it's good politics in my
00:16:20.820
mind. And it's good for the parents to be able to have a more active role in the schools that they
00:16:26.940
send their children to. Because unlike a public school, unlike a zip code school, which always has
00:16:32.240
a supply of students, if you feel like the charter school is failing your kids, you can take them out
00:16:37.700
of the charter school and go to another one. This little girl in this video, what do you think it says
00:16:44.060
that instead of, you know, maybe she could work, I don't know how old she is, but maybe she could work a
1.00
00:16:49.580
part-time job. Maybe she could work at a summer camp, hopefully not the one from the other video.
00:16:53.880
Maybe she could put more effort into her studies. But what do you think it says that instead she's
00:16:58.260
chosen to spend her time, you know, trying to prove that the meritocracy of the system she's in
0.97
00:17:03.320
doesn't work? Do you think there's a deeper lesson there? Yeah, I think a lot of it is guilt,
00:17:09.420
because in the video she points out, and this happens a lot, there's a lot of like rich kid
00:17:14.800
communists who feel like their parents took care of everything for them. Therefore, daddy government
00:17:20.200
should take care of everything for everybody else. But for her, this is somebody, and it's not just
00:17:24.900
her and her sister, who succeeded in the current public school system. Since they were high scoring
00:17:30.100
kids, they were able to get scholarships and recommended programs and SAT prep. And this is
00:17:35.680
all in the video. And she talks about how she feels bad for it, because of it. But like, those are
00:17:40.320
opportunities that she earned as a child, even going to the bad school that she referenced,
00:17:44.940
she talked about how she got through it, because she hung out with an elite class of students within
00:17:50.920
her school. So a lot of that is guilt. A lot of progressives have issues with cause and effect.
00:17:55.980
Like the reason she's successful is because she made choices to become successful. And I make the joke
00:18:03.040
in the video that she got all these opportunities. And now she's a race grifter at Vox. So it's proof
00:18:08.660
that meritocracy does work. But even if we don't like what you end up becoming at the end of it.
00:18:14.200
Yeah, I think a lot of it is guilt. And the words that were coming to my mind were the victimization
00:18:20.180
carries a lot of meritocracy in that environment, whereas you push a big victim narrative, and you're
00:18:27.160
going to get on Vox and have a good time. They're probably making 60 grand a year until they close.
00:18:33.940
One of their offices like Huffington Post or something did here.
00:18:37.400
Oh, and that's a series put together by YouTube. I feel like I have to emphasize this. And every
00:18:43.020
time I cover a part of it, it's a YouTube original. So not only is she getting funded by the huge
00:18:47.640
machine that is Vox, but also by YouTube to produce this content. And there's one thing in
00:18:53.020
that video that really bothered me. And that was when they talked about the specialized high schools
00:18:57.620
in New York City, which Bill de Blasio is actually pushing to get rid of. And they were really upset
00:19:03.080
because out of all the students that test into this school, and this is like a top of the line
00:19:07.460
science school, 4% are black, 4% are Hispanic, about 20% are white, and 70% are Asian. So they're
00:19:16.040
trying to actually restrict opportunities for Asian kids, who again, we put them in the same
1.00
00:19:21.420
classrooms as these black kids, as these Hispanic kids, as these white kids, and they continually
0.99
00:19:26.620
outperform them on the test. And we know that this is in part because they have a culture that
00:19:31.620
emphasizes education. They spend twice as much time on their homework as white kids,
0.86
00:19:36.120
four times as much time as black kids. And we're seeing the results of that meritocracy. But she
1.00
00:19:41.700
looks in the face of that and calls it discrimination, as if the system was set up for Asian and Indian
00:19:48.520
kids in this country. It makes no sense. Yes, I was going to mention Indian immigrants as well. You have
00:19:54.080
Koreans on the list. You have Bangladeshi, I believe, Indians, a lot of immigrant groups of people
00:20:02.140
outperforming, white people. And somehow that always gets overlooked.
00:20:08.240
Nigerians, there you go. I wanted to transition into, I think, what your favorite topic is,
00:20:12.380
the Young Turks. I think, I'm pretty sure that's the first, you mentioned Hassan Piker
00:20:18.140
off air. I think that's the first video of yours that I saw now that I'm thinking about it.
00:20:22.800
Him at Politicon versus Charlie Kirk. I think that's how I got introduced to your channel.
00:20:27.840
Now, it's very entertaining to talk with the Young Turks. I used to do it a lot on my own channel too.
00:20:33.540
They have a lot of pull on YouTube. So I think it's worthy to deconstruct their ideas because
00:20:39.080
they're sort of propped up or were as the, here's the independent news that's just, you know,
00:20:44.500
bootstrapping it and they're getting by even though they're funded massively.
00:20:47.660
Hassan Piker, who I don't think he believes, or I don't think he works for them anymore. Is that
00:20:56.560
He is Cenk Uygur, the founder's nephew, however, and he's a big champagne socialist streamer.
00:21:02.740
He gets a lot of donations from streaming on Twitch and he recently received backlash for a large
00:21:08.900
purchase of a $2.7 million home. Someone called him out on it, some commentator I'm not familiar
00:21:14.160
with. And I want to read you his quote of his reply. He says, quote, I live in LA. The housing
00:21:19.920
market here is F'd. Why is the argument that should keep, why is the argument that I should
00:21:25.520
keep renting or that I should go gentrify somewhere else? Will this solve the problems? No. A lot of
00:21:31.020
spelling mistakes in this, producer Efron. And I don't mean, I mean, they had to add all these
00:21:35.820
different letters to make it make sense. No, people are mad because lefty with a house. That's it.
00:21:41.300
End quote. Sorry for all my mid commentary there, but do you have any opinion on, on his defense
00:21:48.120
as to whether or not it's a, it's valid or is it more of a do as I say, not as I do a motif from
00:21:55.080
a socialist? How do you feel about that response? Well, like, first of all, I have no problem with
00:22:00.060
somebody becoming successful on Twitch and buying a home. And I'm sure you don't have a issue with
00:22:04.040
that either, but where it gets entertaining is this is a guy who thinks that, that we should
00:22:09.660
decommodify housing. As he said, in a debate with Larry Elder on somebody else's show, this is a guy
00:22:14.820
who makes videos and you can find them on his YouTube channel from his Twitch channel, where he
00:22:20.220
criticizes people showing off their homes, saying that they don't need that much of a home. There's
00:22:25.620
no social utility in that. So, and also these people all were, were bagging on Dave Rubin for
00:22:31.860
building his own house, which costs less than the house that Jenks nephew bought. And they were
00:22:36.800
attacking Jimmy Dore like two months ago for spending $2 million on a house. And Jimmy Dore
00:22:42.000
is a married guy. He, he has a family. So like, he's actually needs more space than somebody who's
00:22:48.160
like a single guy living in LA. So his point about like the, the, the arguments in defense of him or
00:22:54.400
the, that people are making is that he's just the victim of a capitalist system that he's just trying
00:22:59.420
to survive and all that. I would love to try to survive in a $3 million home with a nice swimming pool,
00:23:05.300
five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms. I thought these people were concerned about
00:23:08.960
climate change. Just think about the power aspects of his house. Huh? Oh, it was all in the original
00:23:14.700
article. Okay. So that is what his house is then. Yeah. Five and a half bath. Yeah. Five and a half
00:23:21.040
bathrooms. So think about the power usage, think about the water usage in this kind of place. And
00:23:24.980
these people complain about the evil capitalists, uh, you know, starting up the climate change and all
00:23:30.380
that. So yeah, he has no defense for it. He is a hypocrite in this and it really is a do as I say,
00:23:37.500
not as I do situation. And this guy has a long history of that. He got into a whole scandal when he
0.99
00:23:42.220
was pulling in about $45,000 a month on Twitch where he wasn't paying his editor and his editor
00:23:48.680
only asked for a thousand dollars for doing the editing for all the videos on his YouTube channel.
00:23:54.040
And he was pleading poverty. He's like, I don't have that kind of money. Now, if I was taking
00:23:58.800
$45,000 a month, I would damn sure have a thousand dollars left over if I needed to spend it on hiring
00:24:05.460
somebody to do a job. But again, these people are the ultimate hypocrites. And it's another instance
0.99
00:24:10.520
of somebody who doesn't feel like they earned it, turning to socialism, promoting it on the internet,
00:24:15.640
because he has that feeling if he didn't earn it, then nobody else did. This guy got his start
00:24:21.360
from his uncle. He used that to parlay it. Congratulations to him into a Twitch career.
00:24:26.340
But it's always nagging at him that he didn't earn it. So that's why he's promoting all these
00:24:30.620
leftist values that he himself can't even live up to.
00:24:35.080
And his, I think the interpretation that I'm getting from that of he would go and gentrify
00:24:41.900
another area. I don't understand how going and buying a home, is he saying he should be going
00:24:47.260
and buying a large condo around some poor people? I don't understand that comparison where he's just
00:24:52.140
going to automatically gentrify a place if he goes and purchases a house in a nice neighborhood or
00:24:57.340
something. Should he be redistributing his wealth? Should he be living below the means that he's at
00:25:03.420
now? I mean, to be consistent, I think he should be doing that. But that's not something I would
00:25:08.100
ask of him, because like you said, he came from, he used to boast about making, I think, $50,000 a year
00:25:13.360
on the Young Turks. Now $4.55 million or $450,000 a year is a huge jump. And maybe you're right. Maybe
00:25:22.180
he just, he can't handle living in this upper echelon and he's got to, you know, justify it
00:25:28.660
somehow. How do you think he squares it to himself?
00:25:33.220
He just, he just rationalizes it. It's like Bernie Sanders when he used to say millionaires and
00:25:38.080
billionaires. And after his first presidential run, he, he wrote a book and it was a bestseller
00:25:45.280
and somebody asked him, they're like, well, now that you're a millionaire, do you think that you
00:25:50.580
were too critical of them? And he's like, oh, well, I'm a millionaire. But like, the thing is,
00:25:54.320
is I wrote a bestselling book and it's like, yeah, everybody who's becomes wealthy for the most part,
00:25:59.720
like it's only like 20% of people who inherit their wealth. Everybody who becomes wealthy for the most
00:26:04.540
part earned it through something. And so they feel like, oh wait, I earned it because I know the
00:26:09.680
work that I put in, but everybody else in all these different industries that I can't understand,
00:26:14.580
that I can't quantify, they didn't earn it somehow. It's, it's a really weird juxtaposition. And
00:26:19.860
Bernie's even worse because Bernie's wife inherited money and that's how he bought one of his vacation
00:26:24.840
homes. And Bernie's always pushing to basically get rid of the, get rid of inheritance, raise the tax so
00:26:31.360
high that nobody can inherit those sums of money. So like, yeah, they all do this. They, they're all,
00:26:36.720
they all think that they're exempt. They have their own rationalizations. And again, it would be fine
00:26:41.140
if he wasn't advocating for an authoritarian system that restricts people's rights to do what he's
00:26:47.040
doing. But yeah, it's, it's just, it's just ridiculous. It's the 0.01% of the 1%. That reminds me,
0.95
00:26:55.360
are the Young Turks still all about Bernie? Have they moved on to AOC or anything like that? Because the last
00:27:00.540
time I checked in with them a few months ago, it almost seemed like Cenk was the most sane one on
1.00
00:27:05.260
the channel now. I don't know where they're at now though. Yeah. I, I, I like that. It's,
00:27:10.680
it's like an old strategy of the Young Turks where Cenk will have a bunch of goofballs on
0.98
00:27:14.420
and then he'll say, actually, there's some nuance in there. And then he'll, he'll make like a moderate
00:27:19.960
version of that. And you're like, Oh, that sounds reasonable. Cenk is Mr. Reasonable. He literally
00:27:23.860
calls himself the most reasonable man in America. And it's because he surrounds himself with clowns that he
0.99
00:27:30.020
takes a little, he moves a little bit to the right on and then he, he lectures them, but, uh,
0.76
00:27:35.560
they're still big Bernie people, but obviously, uh, Bernie's age is going to prevent him from being
00:27:40.500
able to run. Biden has won the election. So like they've moved on to AOC who they helped get elect,
00:27:46.100
by the way, they founded justice Democrats or Cenk did with Kyle Kalinsky. So that's somebody that
00:27:50.900
they drafted to run for Congress. So they're still like pushing her. You can go on their channel and
00:27:55.680
you just search. They have like AOC destroyed this person, AOC owned this person. It's like,
00:28:01.360
she says the dumbest things and they'll cut it together and be like, she's like owning everybody
0.99
00:28:05.000
and destroying everyone. It's, it's pretty amusing. Have you ever debated Kyle Kalinsky or hadn't I've
0.99
00:28:10.900
not debated Kyle Kalinsky. I'd like to see that. I'm not a fan of that at all. Um, I want the last
00:28:16.360
thing I want to get to is you had a video where you were commenting on slightly offensive. You were on
00:28:21.740
their show. Of course, we love them here. Everybody on blaze. Uh, I try to, I try to speak to very good
00:28:28.060
people. You're commenting on what I think is described as a slippery, slippery slope about
00:28:33.980
drag queen story time. And this hit me close to home, not because I'm a drag queen on my off time,
00:28:39.480
but because it happens a lot here. The drag queen story times, they did a whole tour, um, a few months
00:28:45.720
ago of our local libraries from where I'm from. And I think this is what, what you're defining here
00:28:51.380
is the slippery slope. So let's watch that. I've done stories about drag queen story hour
1.00
00:28:56.060
in public schools right here in the United States of America. That's a program that started in San
00:29:01.360
Francisco and it made its way from public libraries to public school classrooms. So your tax dollars
00:29:07.780
are paying for these people in a lot of places in this country to come and read to your kids in
00:29:12.640
outrageous outfits. Maybe not that outrageous, not yet. Five years from now, conservatives will be in
00:29:16.720
favor of those monkey dildo outfits in our public schools, but it's happening across the country.
0.79
00:29:21.760
Like I have documented cases of it and people are like, Oh no, it's, it's fine. It's fine. I remember
00:29:27.000
I was part of an organization that wanted to not have drag queen story hour. And I would get feedback
00:29:33.240
from conservatives cause you know, they come up with a list of things of what we don't want in the
00:29:37.380
classroom. And they're like, that's a little extreme. You're really trying to ideologically police
00:29:41.580
the classroom. It's like, do you not see what's happening here? Like this is this they're so far
00:29:47.980
beyond it's to your point earlier. They've accepted such high levels of extremism in our,
00:29:53.240
in our everyday lives that you can't even say don't have drag queens read stories about transitioning
1.00
00:29:59.240
genders to our five-year-olds. So do you think this idea that conservatives slowly shift their
00:30:05.420
Overton window to the left? Why do you think that happens? Is it just party movement? Is it,
00:30:11.220
is it, I mean, I'm sure people would argue that it's just progression. How, what do you make of
00:30:15.980
that? Do you think it's a realistic thing? I think, I think there's like, there's like a fear,
00:30:21.140
especially on the social issues. Like, like everybody hears that left-wing propaganda of
00:30:25.680
wrong side of history, wrong side of history. And to say it doesn't affect conservatives is just absurd.
00:30:30.940
So like, that's why you'll see them abandon the gay marriage issue just, you know, like a year after
00:30:36.720
it was, it was a rule constitutional by the Supreme court and they don't talk about it anymore.
00:30:41.900
And like, it's, it's a bit of a meme because people do exaggerate like what conservatives will
00:30:47.060
accept next. But this is a perfect example of this. Like not very many people are talking about it.
00:30:53.480
And, and one of the points I was making on Slightly Offensive is that it's already in our public
00:30:58.020
schools. Like I've done videos. I did a series or I do a series in conjunction with the David Horowitz
00:31:03.240
Freedom Center where we talk about what's going on in the public schools. So they're already doing
00:31:07.740
drag queen story hour in our public schools and people don't want to fight. They don't want to
1.00
00:31:13.160
argue over these issues. Like we put up when, when I was doing those videos for that organization,
00:31:18.080
like they have a list of things that we could pass into law to prevent some of this stuff from
00:31:22.820
happening. And every time you bring it to conservative politicians, they're like, ah, I don't
00:31:27.320
want to, I don't want to battle over that. I don't want to put my ideology in the public schools.
00:31:32.240
And for some reason they've taken the position that removing obvious, a left wing bias ideology
00:31:38.980
from the public schools is inserting their own ideology. So yeah, there's like a lack of will
00:31:44.840
to fight. There's this idea that, well, the left already has that. So there's no need to battle over
00:31:50.360
that because they're entrenched in that position. And I find it ridiculous. Like this drag queen story
1.00
00:31:55.440
hour started at public libraries in San Francisco a few years ago. And now it's in our public schools.
00:32:01.840
And in the UK, they have them walking around. And I mean, if, I don't know if you could show the
00:32:06.700
images on YouTube, but we were looking at them on slightly offensive. They're walking around
00:32:11.620
like with sex toys attached to them. Like to read to our kids about gender transition.
0.98
00:32:18.580
Yeah. That was in the same episode. And I feel like in terms of the slippery slope
00:32:22.600
or the shifting window for conservatives, I feel like it's much closer here than it might even be.
00:32:27.880
You've got a lot of disappointing Republicans down there. Don't get me wrong. Some really good
00:32:31.860
ones. But up here, it's like, well, we don't necessarily, we're not for lockdowns, but we
00:32:38.900
won't say that we're against them. We're not for vaccine passports, but you know, it's up to the
00:32:43.340
provinces to decide. So I think there is just that, you know, half of a, to go metric on you,
00:32:48.920
half of a centimeter difference between the two major parties here. And it's only going to be a matter
00:32:54.340
of time before we like, you know, just, just let it go. We'll, we'll find, and we'll fight the next
00:32:59.400
battle. Um, do you want to just, uh, break down really simple for people who are viewing why you
00:33:04.940
think a drag queen speaking to young children is a harmful or bad idea? Well, it's, it's not just the
1.00
00:33:12.020
idea that you're exposing kids cause drag performers and people, if you talk to them, honestly, in the
00:33:17.340
LGBT community, there'll be like, they show up at, at like gay clubs and they perform and their
00:33:23.860
performances are sexual in nature. And a lot of these drag queens have had issues where they're
1.00
00:33:29.560
not supposed to be around children. They're on a very special list in the United States of America
00:33:33.560
due to previous crimes. And you can look up the different instances of where they caught them
00:33:38.440
on that. But like, these are adult oriented performers and our schools, which is our taxpayer
00:33:45.120
dollars are paying them to come to our schools and read to children, these like propaganda books
00:33:52.120
about how you could change your sex and how there's not really any difference between men and women.
00:33:57.180
And we know that there's an impact on younger kids for gender confusion. We've seen things like
00:34:01.940
these like transgender clusters where one kid in a friend group comes out as transgender. And all of a
0.84
00:34:08.240
sudden this weird, like one in 10,000 thing appears across the friend group. And you have
00:34:14.400
eight or nine out of 10 people saying that there's some kind of like non normal, like gender,
00:34:20.180
or they're there, they have a different gender identity. So it does have consequences. And the
00:34:25.280
whole point they state of reading these books and exposing children to this is to redefine and
00:34:31.660
deconstruct what we consider to be sex and gender. So they don't lie about what their intention is.
00:34:37.160
I'm just pointing out what they say that they're doing, that they're doing it. And that if you're a
00:34:42.900
conservative, you should probably be opposed to it.
00:34:46.820
Wow, Sean, you sound like a bigot to me. Actual justice warrior on YouTube. And I think let's
00:34:53.760
see if my memory serves me correct. It's on the bottom of the screen. I am Sean 90 on Twitter.
00:34:59.080
Yeah, yeah, I read that today. Steel trap up here, Sean. Anything else you want to add
00:35:06.080
Yeah, I just want to say thank you guys for having me on. I do appreciate it, Andrew.
00:35:12.140
But I will say these Canadians, I love the protests against the lockdowns. I think you guys need to
00:35:17.780
step it up a little bit. You have to demand your freedoms. Otherwise, you're not going to get them
00:35:22.660
back. We're already hearing about them extending the lockdowns potentially to 2022. You have to fight
00:35:28.680
back right now. One of the best things that happened in this country was DeSantis and Greg Abbott saying,
00:35:34.260
no, we're going to open up Texas now. And it basically limits even what other areas can do in terms of
00:35:41.120
these restrictions. So individual provinces, if you can fight there, do it there. But you have to get
00:35:46.940
out of this right now. Like you can't wait, afford to wait because they're just going to become more and
00:35:54.760
Hey, thanks a lot, Sean. Actual Justice Warrior on YouTube. Go check it out. Subscribe today. Thanks again.
