Broadway's smash hit, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise, is coming to Toronto.
00:00:06.520
The true story of a kid from Brooklyn destined for something more, featuring all the songs you love,
00:00:11.780
including America, Forever in Blue Jeans, and Sweet Caroline.
00:00:15.780
Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the next musical mega hit is here, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise.
00:00:22.600
Now through June 7th, 2026 at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
00:00:30.780
If you identify and dress and behave and whatever as a trans woman and you end up in a male prison,
0.98
00:00:38.020
you would be at more danger. There's no question about that.
00:00:41.520
I think most of them are autogynophiles, right? So I think it's a sexual fetish.
0.99
00:00:48.100
It's not true what you said, which is these people just want to be validated as women.
1.00
00:00:52.520
There are trans people, many of them we've had on the show, who don't want that.
1.00
00:00:57.260
I don't think that's true, Constantine. If you have fake breasts and long hair and call yourself by a female name,
0.91
00:01:05.440
do you think they don't want to be seen as women?
1.00
00:01:08.280
I think they do, but that doesn't mean they're willing to invade your space.
0.97
00:01:12.100
They will literally slice the breasts of a 13-year-old girl. They will do it.
0.99
00:01:24.040
From the chin down, you get rid of your nipples, you get rid of your belly button, you get rid of any external genitalia,
00:01:32.220
like male or female, and you just have it smoothed except for your pipework.
0.86
00:01:37.840
Like, they literally will dehumanise your torso.
00:01:41.860
So, I was even going to go to Portland, which we had to cancel because there were credible death threats.
00:01:48.740
Do you know who you're from or what organisations?
00:01:53.360
There's a man who's actually a famous model with his top down, with his fake breasts,
0.96
00:02:02.680
These hands don't discriminate. I will F you up.
0.98
00:02:07.660
I ain't dancing to anybody's tune. I just won't do it.
00:02:25.720
What do you mean? What do you think we'd do at Trigonometry?
00:02:27.760
Annoy people on the internet, cause meltdowns on Twitter, and destroy people with logic and facts.
00:02:35.080
Right, stop stealing my catchphrases. It's facts and logic.
00:02:38.980
I'm just saying, being an entrepreneur is against my culture.
00:02:43.260
Why would I work hard when I could just lie on the beach in a sombrero shouting,
00:02:50.460
Well, for those of you who aren't Venezuelan, you need to check out Rob Moore, the disruptive entrepreneur.
00:02:56.040

00:03:20.800
As well as instant access to Rob's number one-ranked disruptors podcast
00:03:24.580
with the world's most disruptive guests and billionaires,
00:03:27.600
he's also giving away a digital financial toolkit
00:03:30.620

00:04:09.960
And this is a show for you if you want honest conversations with fascinating people.
00:04:15.780
Well, it doesn't get any more fascinating than the guest we have returning for you today
00:04:20.800
She holds the record for our most viewed interview ever.
00:04:28.820
As you can see, we're building our new studio at the moment,
00:04:33.760
We haven't really had a chance to pay too much attention to what's been going on.
00:04:44.780
So what mischief have you got up to in the US then?
00:04:48.800
So I decided to do a tour, and it started in LA,
00:04:54.380
went up to San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Austin, and then East Coast.
00:05:02.080
And it was called Let Women Speak, and it really is just creating a space
00:05:06.440
in which women feel that they can speak about what's happening in America,
0.56
00:05:12.460
That doesn't sound controversial at all, Kelly.
00:05:15.080
It's, I knew I had to do it, because it's the belly of the beast, right?
00:05:23.260
So I was even going to go to Portland, which we had to cancel,
00:05:30.080
Do you know who you're from, or what organizations?
00:05:33.440
Well, it was all Antifa, but this particular guy was raising money to buy some weapons.
00:05:41.240
Yeah, and we, I mean, at other parts of our events,
00:05:45.780
we had people that you could see had reinforced gloves on.
00:05:52.760
Long story, like a woman got her fingers crushed and broken.
00:05:55.860
They, it was just, yeah, anyway, going back to the story,
00:06:01.340
it's about the numerous women, and we're making a documentary,
00:06:10.400
because the most known documentary against this stuff
00:06:14.240
is by a man who, I'm grateful that he's done it,
00:06:18.380
but it is embedded in part of his other kind of agenda.
00:06:25.980
because it's our language that's being erased, it's our bodies.
00:06:32.400
but I don't want another episode in human history
00:06:36.120
to pass us by when it's the story of women.
1.00
00:06:49.580
So, for people joining us who are less familiar with you than we are,
00:07:00.200
when you sort of very articulately talked us out
00:07:05.880
of some of the, let's say, sort of inherited views
00:07:10.400
that many people have about the issue of transgender rights
00:07:14.100
and the conflict between that and women's rights
1.00
00:07:27.040
So, it's a jump off from the Speaker's Corner events I do
00:07:37.900
So, what happens is, I say I'm going to be somewhere,
00:07:40.500
I work with an organising team, local organising team of women.
00:07:49.780
which means we just turn up and hope we don't get moved.
00:07:52.060
And women who feel that they can come out do come out.
0.96
00:08:04.780
and you're just giving the microphone and you talk.
00:08:13.200
besides whatever is illegal in the location that you're at.
00:08:17.260
So, you know, that brings with it certain other risks.
00:08:30.560
And we don't seem to have that tradition as much
00:08:36.700
but now it's just populated by people talking about God
00:08:46.880
in the modern public square, which is social media,
00:09:00.940
My Posey Parker account got banned from Facebook.
00:09:13.080
Kelly, if I am a random person watching this conversation,
00:09:18.240
I maybe haven't come across trigonometry before.
00:09:20.460
What are these hateful things that you're saying exactly?
0.99
00:09:56.440
It's saying that we shouldn't transition to children.
00:10:02.500
that's being co-opted by this transgender ideology
1.00
00:10:08.280
And remember when we did our first ever interview,
00:10:13.600
And I think it's fair to say both Francis and I
00:10:15.740
have come much closer to your position since then,
00:10:28.780
Look, it's a conflict between the rights of different groups.
00:12:26.920
even when you put trans woman in front of it,
0.98
00:12:45.360
That's why I just got stopped at the train station
00:12:48.160
by someone talking about her trans women friends.
00:13:23.340
who are saying that this category are vulnerable,
