Rebel News Podcast - Miss Understood No. 24 — It's A Slippery Slope

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood

00:00:22.520 ladies and gentlemen. We are your hosts. I'm Kat. And I'm Nat. And today we're going to talk about

00:00:28.840 the left's open disdain for Christianity and analyze the belief that cancel culture is killing

00:00:33.840 comedy. Plus, with the definition of female changing in the dictionary, we also discuss

00:00:38.340 what other definitions we think are projected to change. But first, our patented culture shock

00:00:43.440 moment of the week. Take it away, Kat. A taste for cannibalism? Yum. No, thanks. Well, bugs are 0.90

00:00:50.560 looking pretty good right about now. So it turns out, y'all, cannibalism has a time and place in

00:00:57.020 the pages of some recent stomach churning books and on television and film screens. I will

00:01:02.480 just come out the gate saying, no, I don't want to watch it. I don't want to read about

00:01:06.020 it. I don't know. Nope. It's just kind of yucky. Yeah. I mean, there is a portion of the population

00:01:12.960 who likes watching like Saw and Human Centipede. And so for like, for those people, maybe this

00:01:18.960 is just a logical next step. And in terms of like entertainment, I don't like that kind

00:01:25.420 of stuff. I never have. Like, tease the brain. Yeah. So this article was a bait, clickbait.

00:01:33.580 Yeah. Like it went viral this weekend. Everyone was like, oh my God. Yeah. And it's very misleading

00:01:39.680 because it is really mostly about the kind of content we consume, whether it be books or TV

00:01:45.100 and film and stuff. However, I do think because, you know, politics and everything really is

00:01:51.460 downstream from culture. It could be a slippery slope. It's slippery slope, fams. And I was

00:01:56.920 thinking, you know, our good friend Bill Gates, he loves to pop like talking about depopulization.

00:02:03.560 What better way to depopulize than to eat each other? Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's actually an

00:02:07.740 amazing thought. It's I mean, maybe it's upsetting. I will not. I will not. It's upsetting, but not

00:02:15.100 outside of the realm of possibility. Not really necessarily. But again, I just just speculating.

00:02:21.220 Yeah. Just speculating. The point is, is you don't need to cancel your subscription to the New York

00:02:24.680 Times unless you never had one like me. Well, nobody does. Don't get one. That's the real culture

00:02:30.260 shock. Who has one? Nobody. My mom. OK, well, that's just speaking volumes. I don't know. She's never

00:02:37.680 watched the show. So. Hi. Hi. All righty. Should we move on? Yeah. OK. It's a lighter thing. Yeah.

00:02:44.200 So this article is called Prayer in School Supreme Court Ruling on Football Coach Upends Precedent.

00:02:51.240 So this one's a bit of a doozy. The do's. There is a coach named something.

00:02:57.500 Joseph Kennedy. Joseph Kennedy. Yes. He's a football coach in the great

00:03:00.740 Americas. And he he was praying after football games at the, I think, 50 yard line, some sort

00:03:09.940 of yard line. There's a few yard lines. There's some yard lines. He was praying at one of them

00:03:13.500 after games alone, not asking the students to join him. But apparently some students

00:03:18.680 chose to join him. And someone made a complaint. And he was, I think, I didn't write down exactly

00:03:24.920 what happened, but I think he was fired or. Yeah. He was put on leave. Leave. He was put

00:03:29.280 on leave. Yeah. And it went all the way up to the Supreme Court, which ended up siding in

00:03:34.160 his favor saying that. It was a six to three majority. Yes. And they ruled that ultimately

00:03:41.440 ruled in Kennedy's favor with Justice Neil Gorsuch writing in the majority of the writing

00:03:46.000 in the majority opinion that respect for religious expression is indispensable to life in a free

00:03:50.880 and diverse public. And this is important because there is supposed to be a separation of church

00:03:57.540 and state in schools. And there is a, there are laws that prevent, I don't know the name

00:04:02.700 of the law. Um, but yeah, here it is. It's there's some lemon versus Kurtzman was the, um,

00:04:09.540 the precedent setting case. Um, and it's laws must ultimately have a secular purpose rather

00:04:14.000 than attempting to advance a religious agenda. Yeah. So that's what people were complaining

00:04:17.480 about. However, uh, Robert Kennedy or sorry, Joseph Kennedy was praying alone. He wasn't forcing

00:04:23.940 it on anybody. It wasn't part of the curriculum. It wasn't a prerequisite for joining the team.

00:04:29.000 So they ruled in his favor that it was, it was just a promise he made to God really. And he was

00:04:34.120 just, you know, exercising his right to religious Liberty. And I think the most interesting thing

00:04:38.420 about this situation is that teen Vogue is really upset about it. They're really upset about it as if

00:04:43.780 this has anything to do with the conflation of church and state. And it absolutely does not. And

00:04:48.140 we talked about this kind of off screen last week, but it's like, what if this were any other

00:04:53.020 religion other than Christianity, do you think that the same rules would apply? No. Well, they don't 0.93

00:04:57.620 because there are, um, districts in the Americas that have, uh, private areas for Muslim prayer

00:05:05.040 that they allow. And that's, and again, in a school, if you need to go pray, you should have a

00:05:10.600 place to go do that without being scrutinized. And you should certainly should have the freedom to do

00:05:15.300 so. Absolutely. But if a Christian does it, it's just different. And I think no matter what 1.00

00:05:19.640 religion you are, you should have the right to pray to your God at the time that you feel

00:05:24.400 or you're called to. Yeah. It's so funny. One of the criticisms is that this is going to lead to

00:05:30.600 much more prayer in public schools, but it's like, okay. That's so terrible. Yeah. Praying is the worst

00:05:35.460 thing ever, but let me talk to your kids about sex and gender. That's just peachy without your 1.00

00:05:39.880 parents' consent, but prayer. They can cut off their wheelie. Yeah, exactly. That's fine, but how dare they

00:05:44.640 pray? And I'm kind of glad that there's such a gross reaction to this, I think, because it just speaks to

00:05:50.140 how much these people hate God and they're not even hiding it. They're not hiding it at all. It's like,

00:05:54.640 all right, well, you guys just keep doing what you're doing, but guess what? God kind of ruled in his

00:05:59.520 favor and his religious liberty is going, is, is, he's allowed to continue to do what he does as a

00:06:06.000 Christian. And I think that should be allowed. Yeah. I don't know. And it's a big, it's a win.

00:06:10.740 It's a win. Yeah. It is a win. And they're saying that it's over, see, I don't, like even the article

00:06:15.620 titles upends precedent. I don't think so. No, because it's because the constitutional right. Exactly. The

00:06:20.740 precedent is that they can't advance a religious agenda. He's not doing that. Yeah. It's the precedent

00:06:27.880 was held, which is, it's a constitutional right to freedom of religious expression. So yeah. And

00:06:33.140 it's, it's funny. Well, yeah, they're, they're wrong about everything. That's why they're my

00:06:36.940 favorite. Um, but you know, and they also claim that religious minority groups will be the most

00:06:41.780 impacted by this ruling, but it's like, what data do you have to back that up? Because Christians 1.00

00:06:46.140 technically are the most persecuted, uh, religion in the world, like on a global scale. So it's like,

00:06:51.360 you want to tell me that Christians have more privilege over other people. I mean, I understand that, 0.99

00:06:56.040 you know, America is a largely Christian nation, but I don't, I think a lot of people who are

00:07:01.420 Christians in the U S also respect another person's right to religious liberty. I would hope so. Yeah,

00:07:05.960 exactly. I mean, otherwise there's a problem there, of course. Um, but it's like these people

00:07:10.600 clearly aren't paying attention on a global scale. A lot of, a lot of countries where you can't even

00:07:15.540 pray or be a Christian openly without risk of literal death. Yeah. Literal beheading and death. Yeah. 0.68

00:07:21.000 Yeah. But, uh, you know, and same with other religions. Like we know about the Uyghurs in

00:07:25.040 China. Absolutely. It's, I'll just go out and say it. It's wrong to persecute someone for their

00:07:31.180 religion. It's wrong. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, maybe we'll have to cut that. I don't know if we're allowed 1.00

00:07:36.200 to say that on YouTube. No, probably not. Um, anyway, so yeah, pretty interesting. Teen Vogue hates

00:07:41.220 God. The Christian God. Yeah. The Christian God. They love the God of self though. Yeah. And the God of 0.77

00:07:46.980 sexual identity. Yes. And depravity. Great. Well, shall we move on from that? I think we 0.93

00:07:51.780 done did her. We done done. Okay. So y'all, y'all wokeness. Does it ruin comedy? Yes. Well,

00:07:59.560 yes, maybe. Uh, well, that's my, it's an opinion. Yeah. Yeah. John Cleese also thinks so. Yeah.

00:08:05.580 And what does he know about comedy? He knows literally nothing. So he's slamming wokeness for

00:08:11.060 disastrous impact on comedy. So he was a keynote speaker at last week's Freedom Fest conference in

00:08:16.620 Las Vegas, where he spoke about how to cultivate creativity, a skill he believes is essential

00:08:20.900 and not just in showbiz, but sounded the alarm that political correctness has become a major

00:08:25.240 obstacle, particularly for young comedians. Yes. Well, like you can't really be funny if

00:08:31.640 you're walking on eggshells. Yes, exactly. And that's in this quote, he says pretty much exactly

00:08:35.720 that. He says, I think it's particularly worrying at the moment because you can only create an

00:08:39.740 atmosphere, an atmosphere of freedom where you're not checking everything you say critically

00:08:43.920 before you move on. What you have to be able to do is build without, uh, knowing where

00:08:48.660 you're going because you've never been there before. That's what creativity is. You have

00:08:52.180 to be allowed to build. Yeah. Because like comedy moves so quickly. It's like, and your

00:08:57.040 brain is going off on all these things. You don't have time to sit and be like, can I say

00:09:01.160 that? Like, you know what I mean? That would be a funny bit though. Yeah. Like just saying

00:09:04.860 it and then being like, can I say that? That's our next skit folks. Don't steal it. Um, but

00:09:10.140 it's, it's just this, the thing about the mob is like, they always try to cancel comedians

00:09:15.040 for not being politically correct. And it's like, if you don't like a comedian, just don't

00:09:19.560 listen to them. It's so easy. There are so many people we don't like listening to. Hello,

00:09:23.160 Justin Trudeau. I just turn off the video when he's speaking. Cause I don't want to hear it.

00:09:26.600 Hello, Chelsea Handler. Exactly. Hello, Amy Schumer. Hello, Trevor Noah. There's like countless

00:09:30.600 people that just suck and kind of actually offend me a little bit because they're, you know, 0.99

00:09:35.520 always making fun of conservatives and Christians and all this stuff. Yeah, but like it's their 0.99

00:09:38.620 right to do it and I don't have to watch it. No, I don't subscribe to them. I don't tune in.

00:09:42.740 No, I don't even know what's happening until someone posts a clip and then I'm like, uh,

00:09:46.020 and then I move on with my day. Exactly. Like it doesn't ruin your day and you don't spend,

00:09:50.640 you know, only a bad hair day. Yeah. Well, amen. Um, I just also think it's kind of self-centered

00:09:57.500 to get super offended by jokes. Cause it's not, everything is about you. Like the joke is not

00:10:02.100 for you specifically and it's not attacking you specifically. It's just a generalization.

00:10:06.680 Usually trying to make people laugh. Exactly. It's probably a good thing. Yeah. I mean,

00:10:10.660 you hope, but you know, comedians getting in trouble is not a new thing. Um, we have this

00:10:16.420 article about Dave Chappelle's show in Minneapolis getting, it's a hard word. It's not easy.

00:10:22.060 Minneapolis getting canceled. Um, the good news is, is that, okay, well this is funny. There

00:10:28.600 was a change.org petition to cancel the show because he, he creates unsafe spaces for trans people. 0.50

00:10:34.500 Oh yeah. Uh, it got 120 signatures. Sorry. 120? 120. 120. So that's like everyone at Rebel plus

00:10:42.480 their mom. Oh. And the venue holds 1500 people. Okay. Well that's interesting. Yeah. But the,

00:10:51.380 but the venue canceled it, but then another venue honored all the tickets and they did three shows

00:10:56.260 at a different venue in the same city. So really he didn't lose anything. So basically these,

00:11:00.540 the mob is just making Dave Chappelle more famous. Like when are you going to learn that when you go

00:11:04.340 after someone like that, you're literally just giving them more publicity and you're pissing off

00:11:08.480 people enough that they're just going to go support him anyway, even if they don't like him all that 0.99

00:11:12.160 much because they don't like the mob sucks. Yeah. Like you guys on the mob, you're not, you're not 0.99

00:11:17.200 great. I was going to say like the mob isn't new. Like, um, comedians used to get, and they still get

00:11:22.600 investigated and charged and stuff, but there have been famous comedians who have been arrested.

00:11:27.000 Like Lenny Bruce was arrested twice in 1961 for obscenity because he used bad words.

00:11:32.480 He was also arrested for like fraud. Okay. But that's different. That is a little different.

00:11:36.980 Yeah. It's different. But this was just for using bad words. And then George Carlin was famously

00:11:39.720 arrested in 1972, um, for unruly behavior for his seven words you can never say on television,

00:11:44.580 which now people say all the time on television. Of course. So I'll say it right now. Just kidding.

00:11:49.640 Do it. No. Um, it's also kind of interesting that these same people who are usually on the

00:11:56.420 pro diversity side are completely against diversity of thought. So it's like, it's funny

00:12:02.240 because like Dave Chappelle is a black man, but because he says things that they don't like,

00:12:07.080 it's like, well, that's canceled out. Yeah. No, you're, you're a bad man now. Yeah, exactly.

00:12:11.820 Yeah. It's just so gross. It's gross. It's really gross. Um, just one, we don't have to go back to

00:12:16.300 the article, but just, there's another quote from John Cleese here that I loved. It's a critical,

00:12:20.140 a critical mind and creative mind are in opposition with each other, which is so true. Like a famous

00:12:25.900 painter isn't like, like they're, they're just letting it flow and, or poetry or singing or like,

00:12:33.060 you're not, if you're criticizing everything that you're doing in your own mind, when you're doing

00:12:36.920 it, it's not going to come out as good art. And that's, you can tell you're censoring yourself.

00:12:40.660 Exactly. And you can always tell because someone we've seen people where it's like, um,

00:12:44.200 like a YouTube video or something where it's like, that was so funny. And then they try to

00:12:47.360 make it again. And it's like, yeah, you lost it. Cause you're, you're now trying to replicate

00:12:51.660 something that was originally creative and flowing naturally. So arts are interesting and magical,

00:12:58.700 uh, things. Yeah. And to have the woke mob waiting for you with their pitchforks and,

00:13:04.040 and fire torches just ready for you. And the thing that I hate the most about all of this,

00:13:09.700 and I'm so glad that John Cleese is not one of these people, but I know Sarah Silverman is,

00:13:13.320 and I think Trevor, Trevor Noah has been the knee. Well, they not only bend the knee, but they,

00:13:17.980 they, I've said this before, but they have all like Amy Schumer has done it. Uh, Sarah Silverman

00:13:23.460 has done it. They make their careers off of offense and Trevor Noah as well. They make their careers

00:13:28.300 off of offend, offending people being hilarious and saying outlandish things. And then as soon as

00:13:34.460 they're rich and famous enough, and then the woke mob starts coming after other people,

00:13:37.460 those rich people who made their careers off of being offensive will step through the door and

00:13:41.680 then close it behind them and be like, no, no, no, you guys, I wish I didn't say that. I wish I

00:13:46.200 didn't do blackface. It's like easy for you to say with your millions. Yeah. It's like, well, okay,

00:13:49.000 but you wouldn't be who you are now if you weren't offending people back in the day. So for you to now

00:13:54.680 say, it's not okay for these young people who don't have the opportunity to, to be woke because

00:13:59.880 that's not going to, no one's going to laugh at them making unfunny commentary. Yeah. They need to

00:14:05.100 have shock value, but you're saying, no guys, that's wrong. You shouldn't do that. Well,

00:14:09.000 that's fine for you to say. Yeah. It's easy for you to say. It's easy for you to say. Yeah,

00:14:13.460 absolutely. And it's kind of funny because the same people who, you know, are, let's say members

00:14:19.740 of the mob, so to speak, they're probably not even going to buy tickets to any of these shows

00:14:24.080 anyway. Like they're literally like they, who cares? They're not your audience that you're

00:14:28.140 catering to, but people are still going to come to your shows because they find you funny. Like Dave

00:14:32.520 Chappelle, like isn't his Netflix special called uncancellable? Yeah. Yeah. And they proved it by having the

00:14:38.200 same show in the same city at a different venue and filling it up and 120 signatures. Like we get

00:14:44.260 more signatures than that on every single campaign that we do. Yeah. And it's like a couple of days

00:14:49.540 of Tamara Egalini knocking on doors. Like those, because these are actual issues. Like no one

00:14:55.660 actually cares about Dave Chappelle offending them. Like, oh wait, am I going to that show with my

00:14:59.840 kids? Nope. So why would I care? It's true. It's true. And that kind of leads us to this next

00:15:04.620 article, I guess. So is cancel culture killing comedy? This is actually a really interesting

00:15:11.060 article. She's like, what a joke. But I think, okay, I actually kind of agree with her to an

00:15:15.480 extent. Like one of the things she says, like she says it isn't. She says, uh, if all the

00:15:21.680 aforemented comedians know that cancel culture is stifling comedy because they are effectively 0.60

00:15:25.780 censoring themselves, they can stop now. In the vast majority of cases, people who make jokes that

00:15:30.860 are considered offensive in the broadcast possible terms face zero repercussions. In fact,

00:15:35.600 they tend to thrive. Thrive. And I think that's actually true. Like, like it's kind of like just

00:15:40.140 like Dave Chappelle. Yeah, exactly. Like stop pandering and you will be successful. Just keep

00:15:43.980 on keeping on like Dave Chappelle does. He's more famous as he's more famous than ever. Yeah.

00:15:48.420 Arguably. That's true. I don't think he's lost any of his fans over this. No. Right. And I mean,

00:15:52.740 that spirit of fear is going to stifle your comedy. Yeah. So I is cancel culture killing comedy.

00:15:58.820 I think if you let it get the best of you, I think, I think it is though, because like,

00:16:04.120 when is the last time that you watched a TV show? True. Like, like made in the last 10 years.

00:16:09.360 And I'm quoting other people who have said this as well, but it's true. A movie or a TV show that's

00:16:14.400 come out in the last 10 years that you're like, ah, that's so funny. Like that's ripping me apart.

00:16:19.640 Like I can't watch new comedy. Like Modern Family wins all the Emmys for comedy. It's like,

00:16:24.080 it's so woke. It's got some funny moments, but mostly it's a drama. Yeah. It's a drama.

00:16:30.340 Yeah. It's, it's mushy. It's like the last season of Friends. It's not funny. I think it's just like

00:16:36.120 Ted Lasso or whatever. Yeah. That's funny. I think the Mindy project is really funny. Okay. Yeah.

00:16:41.480 I thought Ted Lasso was really sweet. I think it's like that comedy shouldn't be sweet. Like it could be,

00:16:47.760 it can be. Yeah. The Simpsons has really sweet episodes, but like, it also has to be like,

00:16:51.700 what? Yeah. I think like, it's just fewer and fewer things. I think there are those little gems that do

00:16:57.840 come out, but they're not, they're just not common. It's not like a frequent thing. But I think that's

00:17:04.220 because, because creators are letting the fear overtake them. Like, you know, I think it's probably

00:17:11.480 like if I, if you and I went to Comedy Central with a script and it was not woke, they would not

00:17:17.760 take it. Right. You could be like, I'm not fearful. I'm not scared. They would be like, Ooh, where's

00:17:21.960 the trans character? And we're like, there is not one. But do you think it's because the producers

00:17:24.780 are scared of getting canceled as well? Yeah. It's probably a little bit of both. You know,

00:17:29.240 I agree with you. I think, I think there's a lot, a lot kind of that plays into this, but I think

00:17:35.600 ultimately like the moral of the story is just literally keep doing what you're doing. Just do it.

00:17:40.180 Like just keep doing, you know, like they go and try to cancel you, but they probably won't

00:17:44.880 be that successful. You're not that famous anyway. Yeah. So just, yeah. And if you're

00:17:50.100 lucky, you'll get canceled. Yeah. Because you said something awesome and hilarious. And

00:17:54.240 then you'll become actually famous. Yeah, exactly. So just try to piss people off. Jordan Peterson

00:17:58.820 wasn't famous before he got canceled. We weren't famous and now look at us. And we're still

00:18:02.680 not. Yeah. So please cancel us. Please get more offended by what we put out. Please. We're

00:18:09.240 desperate. No, I'm just going to slap her on camera. Whoa. Yeah. Won't be the first 1.00

00:18:13.220 time. Um, anyway, don't self censor as a comedian and just didn't do it. And, uh, we're going

00:18:20.080 to skip this because I'm sick of her. Yeah. I don't skip it. We're going to talk about

00:18:24.200 AOC, but who needs to? Nobody. She got arrested guys. She faked being handcuffed. Yeah. That's

00:18:29.940 the end of the story. It was fake. It was stunning and brave. It's embarrassing. Yeah. So

00:18:33.080 okay. Anyway, on to more stunning and brave things. Reddit bans a groomer as an LGB, anti

00:18:41.920 LGBTQ slur under new rules. Oh, holy moly. Well, my first thought was, isn't this a slap

00:18:50.380 in the face to gay people who just want to live their lives? Yeah. Also. Yeah. Who 1.00

00:18:54.000 maybe aren't groomers. I think a lot of the gay community is probably not groomers. Yeah. 0.79

00:18:58.480 Probably not. Yeah. And also, uh, heteros can be groomers too. Yeah. I looked up the

00:19:02.480 definition. Um, it's someone who builds a relationship, trust, and emotional connection

00:19:06.980 with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit, and abuse them. What does that have

00:19:11.580 to do with being gay or trans? Yeah. I just think that conflation is really icky. It's really

00:19:16.720 icky. It's, it's wrong. Um, but also groomer, like that's a serious, serious accusation. Why

00:19:25.600 is that even like, why are we banning that word? Like we should be able to call a spade 1.00

00:19:29.480 a spade. If someone's a groomer, we should, as a society to protect children, maybe talk

00:19:35.560 about it and maybe call people out. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah.

00:19:39.420 Um, it's almost like people who are offended by the term groomer are groomers. Oopsie.

00:19:46.720 Cause it's like, um, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. So, you know, say it,

00:19:50.920 but, um, there's this whole trend of people trying to replace the term pedophile with the,

00:19:56.840 this acronym, which is MAP. Oh yeah. Minor attracted person. I'm not into it. I'm not

00:20:03.140 down with it. If you're attracted to a minor, there's a word for that already. Yes. And

00:20:08.240 there is no cure. And it's a sin. Yeah. And there's no helping you. It's icky. It's super

00:20:14.500 icky. So let, this is just another like step or slippery slope. It's another, we're going

00:20:20.980 down. We're going down and I'm calling Timber. Yeah. Isn't that a song from Kesha?

00:20:27.740 Kesha. Anyway. Uh, I just think like, um, Reddit, it kind of seems like you don't want

00:20:34.440 to protect kids then. Is that, is that what we're concluding? I think so. That's the vibe

00:20:40.000 and it's not a good look. It's really not a good look. No. You'll censor conservative

00:20:43.860 conversations. Yeah. Anything to do with religion or politics. Like I used to be a huge bachelor

00:20:48.600 fan and bachelorette. I loved it. Yeah. And then, and part of that love for me was going

00:20:53.640 on Reddit and just like reading all the SHIT about people and like all the different theories. 0.98

00:20:59.060 But then they had this, the hot goss, the tea. Then they had this rule that was like no, uh, 0.98

00:21:03.800 politics in the conversations. Yeah. But they, they still do only in one way. Only every

00:21:09.980 thing they're like, Oh, this, this character, this character, this contestant is problematic.

00:21:14.660 They have, they like that one guy, Garrett, he like liked a couple of memes that were pro

00:21:20.040 Trump. So he's problematic. Pro police during the BLM stuff. He posted a blue lives matter 0.70

00:21:25.200 thing. So he was problematic and he, and his fiance ended up dumping him because of all this

00:21:30.340 pressure. So it's like, so we're not allowed to talk about politics unless you're on the side

00:21:35.120 of them. So it's like, so it just ruined, it ruined the entire show and franchise for me.

00:21:39.020 And who cares? Like I could, you know, have better things to do, like brush my hair.

00:21:42.900 It's an entertaining show though.

00:21:43.740 Exactly. Um, and again, this goes back to our earlier conversation, diversity of thought

00:21:48.260 not accepted by the left. They don't, they only care about diversity that works for them.

00:21:53.620 Yeah. And I guess, well, culture is not just killing comedy, but it's killing other things.

00:21:57.340 Like I was a loyal viewer and I even, I would even get a bell five box to watch cable so

00:22:03.960 that I could watch the bachelor. That's dedication. That was literally, I was like, well, it's

00:22:06.440 the only way to watch it at the time. I don't want to watch it days later when I already

00:22:09.100 hadn't spoiled. It's true. So now I'm like, I don't need the box bell. I don't need it.

00:22:13.000 Yeah. Belle, you've done this to yourself. You've done it to yourself. Um, but have we done

00:22:16.700 this to ourselves because according to the world health organization, sex is not limited

00:22:24.600 to male or female. These are the health experts, the health experts. Are they though? Are they

00:22:30.620 though? Are they though? My first no is L O L L O L. So the WHO has announced that it will 1.00

00:22:36.420 be updating a widely used gender mainstreaming manual to include the notion that gender identity

00:22:41.560 exists on a continuum. So wait, is it sex or is it gender identity? They conflate the

00:22:46.680 two. They conflate the two. Oh wait, but isn't that actually what we do? We do. We conflate

00:22:51.320 the two. Yeah. Sex, gender. I'm a woman. Sex, female. Yeah. Hello. Yeah. I'm, I'm cool

00:22:59.720 with someone saying like, I'm a female, but I identify as a male. It's like, whatever. Like

00:23:05.420 you can say those words. Within reason. You can say it and I'll be like, okay, what is cool?

00:23:11.620 But you can't say I was born a male, but now my sex is female. Yeah. That's

00:23:16.660 just the science. There's just, and they, and so the world health organization, sex is 0.71

00:23:23.820 not limited to male and female. There's also that one 0.041% of people who are intersex.

00:23:29.140 Well, okay. That is, that is not what they're even talking about. They're talking about people

00:23:32.960 like there, there is a small. Yeah. It's 1.7% of people in the U S are intersex. Okay. 0.93

00:23:38.740 So that's literally like a genetic abnormality that you could be like, okay, fine. Maybe they

00:23:42.580 need their own category, but that's not a gender identity. That's not a gender. And that's not

00:23:45.300 right. And that's not what they're talking about here at all. And this whole thing is

00:23:48.200 to expanding the concept of intersectionality to reflect new scientific evidence and conceptual

00:23:53.760 progress on gender. My theory is scientific evidence, conceptual, uh, progress, a lot more

00:24:02.980 conceptual progress. Um, and, and it's kind of dangerous. It's super dangerous. Colin Wright,

00:24:08.580 who's an evolutionary biologist says that subscribe to the sub stack after finding who he is.

00:24:12.980 He also says that it's really dangerous. Um, uh, and he, I'll quote, and I quote, I think

00:24:19.140 it's really dangerous that gender ideology and sex spectrum pseudoscience has infected a global

00:24:23.560 health body. The consequences of distorting reality in medicine can have extremely disastrous

00:24:28.160 consequences because women and men need different levels of care in certain circumstances. So, 0.99

00:24:34.080 I mean, if we abolish the definitions of sex and gender, is that going to impact our quality

00:24:39.440 of treatment and health care? It will. Isn't that what the WHO is supposed to be advocating for?

00:24:44.880 Like, aren't they supposed to be for our health and wellbeing? I mean, the pandemic taught us,

00:24:48.960 maybe not, but like, allegedly, allegedly, they should at least pretend, at least pretend a little

00:24:55.280 better. Let's try it. And of course, let's erase women. Yes. This is all of this. Who needs them? 1.00

00:25:01.300 Who needs them? Who needs them? Well, the WHO, clearly they're on that path to, to erase us. So,

00:25:08.340 it's been good. Okay. Yeah. And apparently also, so is the dictionary. The dictionary. Yes. So,

00:25:13.140 the Merriam-Webster dictionary changed the definitions of the words female and girl.

00:25:17.860 Woo! Yeah. So, in 2012, the definition of female was of relating to or being the sex that bears

00:25:28.340 young or produces eggs. Oh, we should have worn our shirts that say that. We should have. We have

00:25:31.380 shirts that say that. Compose of members of the female sex characteristics of girls or women having 0.88

00:25:36.260 some quality associated with the female sex designed with a hollow or groove into which a

00:25:41.380 corresponding male part fits. That's, that's, well, that's specific. That's for like tools. It's like, 0.87

00:25:46.180 this is the female socket. This is like, you know, like sockets. Yeah. That's what they're talking 0.84

00:25:49.860 about. This show is rated PG. But also, uh-huh. Um, I like the part where they're like, okay,

00:25:55.380 so in this definition, the first one that you said, belonging to, belonging or relating to women or the

00:26:00.100 sex, the sex, not gender, that can give birth to young or produce eggs. So, the word sex,

00:26:05.780 that's not a gender identity. That is science. That's, that's x's and o's. That's x's and o's. 0.98

00:26:10.500 Yeah. X's and y's. Um, and then can give birth or produce eggs. Trans women, 1.00

00:26:15.380 they can claim to be women all, all they want and I am fine with that. For sure. Godspeed. Godspeed,

00:26:19.700 I'll call you whatever you want to be called, but you can't produce eggs and you can't give birth. 1.00

00:26:24.660 Yeah. This one, she's gonna do it soon and she'll be able to tell you if a man can do it or not. 1.00

00:26:29.940 Okay? I think they can't. I think they can't.

00:26:32.660 Their pain tolerance is low. Yeah, that's true. Not to mention the fact that they don't have wombs. 1.00

00:26:35.540 Yeah. Or, not yet they don't. Yeah. Um, other stuff. But, is this a slippery slope? We've talked about this

00:26:42.100 before. Woo! I think we just found our title for the show. Yeah. It's true. We talk about,

00:26:47.060 we've said that word a little, a phrase a little too much, but we've talked about this before. What,

00:26:50.740 what are they going to change the definition of next? What do you think?

00:26:52.900 Oh, well, we, it wasn't us who came up with this, right? No. But someone mentioned it. Was it Ali

00:26:59.940 Bev? I cannot remember. Somebody. Someone argued that the next thing to come is the definition of

00:27:05.140 a child. What about even the definition of consent? Hmm. What if one person is identifying as having

00:27:11.700 received consent for doing X and Y to you, but the other person's like, no, but that's like your truth. 0.91

00:27:16.020 My truth is that I had consent to slap Nat in the face. Yeah. That was, she did. And that was my 0.87

00:27:20.820 truth. That's fake news. Very strong. Um, I don't know. I just think this is very dangerous and it's

00:27:27.940 interesting because they didn't seem to change the definition of man. No, they did. They did? Yeah.

00:27:32.580 Oh, well, I'm, I'm standing corrected then. What's the definition of a man? It's the same. I

00:27:38.020 actually didn't look up the actual definition of a man, but I did see, I went on it and it said the

00:27:42.260 same thing or having the identity, gender identity of a man. So basically there is no

00:27:46.340 gender according to the dictionary. Yeah. So why even have two definitions? Get rid of them. Yeah. 0.99

00:27:51.460 Get rid of them. Seriously. That's a good point. Why? Um, also the Oxford dictionary and the

00:27:55.700 Cambridge dictionary have not made these changes yet. Okay. So the tradition. Yeah. I hope that they

00:28:01.060 never do. Well, let's make a petition. We'll get 121 signatures and we'll change the world. I can't

00:28:07.300 wait. Yep. Well, um, yeah, you can, I just have a note here. It's just like you can,

00:28:11.940 again, you can change the definition of a female to whatever you want. It's not going to actually 0.96

00:28:16.580 change what a female is because biology and science has stood the test of time. God doesn't make 1.00

00:28:22.100 mistakes. Y'all he knew Adam was a boy and Eve was a girl and thus creation. Yep. You know how men

00:28:30.260 never change the toilet paper on the roll? Yeah. Biology. That's true. You can't change that. You can't

00:28:36.180 fight nature. You can't, you can't. It's just God bless them. They can't do it. I don't know why

00:28:39.780 their hands just don't bend that way. They're not able to do it. They're just not physically

00:28:43.060 able. Biologically. We'll ask our evolutionary biologists why that is. Yeah. Next episode.

00:28:49.460 But I think that's the sure. That's the sure. I think that's the sure. All right, y'all. Well,
