1:30 pm
when everyone stood up together and applauded the former nazi a soldier of the salisia division, it's simply disgusting. trio and deputy prime minister christie of freelance. his own grandfather was the editor of the nazi newspaper and ukraine involve that particular fact watching this information session along with a quick one russian propaganda around this particular incident. in that case, just the leader of the official opposition was just a russian propagandist for stating what everyone in the entire world could see with their own eyes. justin trudel was responsible for inviting presidents zalinski to the house of commons to give that speech. he was responsible for making the event a success. he is responsible for the officials at global affairs to the intelligence services, the prime minister's protocol office, all of him who could have and should have asked for a complete,
1:31 pm
vetted list of every one of the people who would be in the room and in proximity are you wor, time liter, western leaders like who do i have become so comfortable with evoking, pretend in an attempt to avoid any responsibility for their own screw ups, that at this point is just become 2nd nature. the problem from them is that in this particular case of blatant attempted deflection by invoking russia, everyone can see that it wasn't put in who went and dug up an actual world war 2 nazi which is quite a feat on to itself. since it's not like these guys are hanging out in public hosting pop nights and big sales, drag him into canadian parliament and made law makers clock for him. like the bottom i seals. but not cl davis. alice, you can visit archie to come for details of all the stories are following us definitely see you again the
1:32 pm
the remember when no one gave a damn about being offended. what happened to us even committee is now fear. today's political correctness taboo set by the so called social justice warriors of the world. dare to make a joke outside of the party line and who you are. cancel. now i'm not a hate or the work load moving in. i just think that they've gone completely overboard. you've got sad acceptance pro now gender confusion enough is enough. i'm christy. i and you're watching the cost of everything where today's show is going to be less. we have our walls warriors, and we've got our free speech defenders, and we are ready to fill the t or whether or not this movement is truly walk or just sleep walking. the
1:33 pm
now was this absolutely has its merits. it's brought issues like racism, gender equality, l g, b, t q writes into the spotlight, but well on the surface that seems like a very noble cause, a great message, an overall and very positive. the way that work culture has gone about doing it is rather hypocritical warriors call out in justices demand change and empower marginalized communities with social media and cancel culture. but isn't cancel culture crossing the line. isn't that just a way to silence anyone who doesn't agree with the woke mindset? and are we trampling on free expression in the name of locus? and so joining me to discuss this further as my co host with a day mr. ed martin radio host, a pro america report. thank you so much for being here. great, great to be with you. thank you. so now let's talk about cancel culture
1:34 pm
a little. yeah. cancel culture can be a modern way, modern day, which hunt it crushes diversity of thought and sometimes does ruins live over a little misunderstandings and we're all for social progress these days. but you can't of silence. anyone who disagrees with you, right? the insidiousness about this whole thing is how it's done to people, right? in other words, it's one thing to confront something if i disagree in fact, you and i were talking off the air. we're disagreeing about a topic. we can have that discussion. the question is, when other forces come into damaged people? as i was getting ready for this, i was going to tell you the story. i thought i wait, i was fired at cnn. and when i was fired, it's for something i said on my own radio show, and i never name names. i just said that the people i was talking to on cnn were racist. and i said that happened to be black, but they were racist. and when i said that, i got a call from cnn, and they said, we're getting pressure from the african american community to take you off the air
1:35 pm
. and i said, well, what did i say? the point is the side pressure that's happening and what's but what i find again, most of the city is, is that we don't get to see who those people pushing those buttons are. and then you said yourself, who's not just making my day miserable for your day miserable, but impacting what the conversation is, right? who's got the power to use the color of the work movement and cancel a culture to damage how we're living together. and that's what's happening in america, and i think that's why there's a sewing against it because people are not there, they're sick of this, they're tired of it and they're, they're reacting against it. absolutely. because i understand that there's a perception that needs to be maintained. but then it's like what is that perception is that, are you continuously onto that perception? and then it just becomes completely in authentic. then it becomes a question of whether or not like you can say things if we speech to a truly have speech free speech. when you're not allowed to express how you truly feel, right, exactly. and, and again, it's, it's who's defining the narrative. right. in america,
1:36 pm
we've seen in the last 5 or 6 years, both parties have used big government, big media and big tech. to set the narrative and once they set the narrative, you try to change it. roseanne was cancelled for something. she said that frankly was more funny than not. and it goes on and they use these uh, these incidents, these instances to damage people and getting americans look up saying, who's in charge here. why can't we have the freedom to assemble and speak and be out there confronted that no problem but not pay a price like that the, the cancel culture does. and by the way, if you're, if you're there on january 6th, you're going to pay a price with federal imprisonment. if you're at t for, and you're burning uh, cars or throwing molotov cocktails. it's a federal district court in, in the portland, oregon. you're just going to be given a, a pat on the back end, right? yeah, move on, move along. exactly. so it's completely lopsided. and the what you mentioned was really important. it's who's in control of it, right, right now it seems that the social media companies, they are all on board with this super woke agenda and that makes the entire
1:37 pm
dialogue one sided. and in fact, you get silence or shadow band for speaking out of turn on facebook or instagram, or even tick tock. and today, as we all know, facebook is the biggest publisher these days, and they're the ones grabbing all the eyeballs, running the ad, and they're purposely hiding deleting or de listing content that they deemed to be inappropriate. and it's like how you deem something to be inappropriate. and we're just talking about that. i have posted read, got deleted from slide, as inappropriate. that's got the listed, and i am shadow bad on instagram, right? but what happens when, what has been for, let's say, a couple of centuries, maybe a millennial position that people are able to have, say traditional marriage or sexual letty is now deemed so on acceptable that you're going to be around. you're going to be in trouble for it and cancel. and then what i would tell people over and over again is if, if every single aspect of government and you and i talked about your position,
1:38 pm
every single aspect of government looks corrupt to me. accept elections. and we're supposed to say elections are perfect if i can get these, say elections are bad in america and 2020 you'll, you'll probably be arrested or d bard or, or attacked in some very specific way. you look up and say, what's the deal here? that's but you're no longer allowed to have that free speech. that statement might be wrong. you're not saying it's right. i'm saying that's the one thing you can't say today. you can say the api i is corrupt. the c i is broken. congress is full of uh, guys ago were bravo. you can say all that. and if you say the election of 2020 was off, you're going to be investigated. yes, wild. yeah. you're going to be investigated and on, you're spreading propagating false, right? you're going to be accused. that's right. and then your reputation does goes dark. yeah. that's right. and so i feel like a lot of narrative is actually being pushed by pop culture because pop culture is actually was driving a lot of media attention and it's become the norm of the entertainment industry. so you've got movies, you've got tv shows all giving
1:39 pm
a voice to these long on heard factions, but now it's become so formulaic that it's pre g. yes. we feel like yes, yes. and i think that people are tired of it. even if you look at what's happening with uh movies and some of these things you know, i guess barbie was a hit, i didn't see it, but the new marvel movie that's got all women and all the positions as a god. right. i think, i think one of the things that i, you know, i, we, we often will say to active as some people, courage is contagious. you know, that once people start to being able to start to hear, i can object to that they will. but i agree with you, it's so formulate the argument though about say books that you'll see the left and the media will say conservative is one of banned books. actually what conservators are saying, i don't want my kids confronted with things that are too edgy and initially the people like, oh, burning books is bad. now a lot of americans are saying, we're just not going to show our kids or you know, graphic sexual books in the public library. you can still have it at home. you can still go to the section of the library that's got adult literature, but don't show it to kids. so i do think that there's a, i a, i'm
1:40 pm
a movement back to correct. uh, but it is up as you point out, it's up against these forces, media tech and especially as you mentioned hollywood, the culture is upstream. influencing a lot of these things. by the way, you get to it, you know, hot button l g b, take you whatever the, all the acronyms are. a few years ago you could have said, i don't want my kids expose to some of the people that have the positions about can say that ma'am. yeah, you get to move that fast that quickly. you can't even object to that and you called the big it, you know, you're called someone who is homophobic and you're like, wait, i thought it was why the have some opinions to exactly a now even if you're a movie director, you have to cast your transfers as rightcast your token, black main character, you have to cast a main gate character into a story like right. all of that is become formulaic and even even have to have an agent character. whereas before, it's like you get the part because you're talented because he earned it because it deserves to be in the story line. and it's correct. but now you just get these
1:41 pm
people just for the sake of representation, and they'll get me wrong representation is great and it matters, but that there's a, there's has to be a limit to it. while we're talking again off the air i, i do a bunch of different words. one thing i researched recently was planned parenthood and all the ceo's at the planned parenthood's. they make a lot of money. it turns out that to have the top 3 or white man that's like, that's kind of weird white man at the, to the truck when turner and they just announced and, and then usually the person that runs the seat, that the ceo of a local plan, parents is not put out as a, a big deal by the national, a national and as they have the 1st, by an airy or non binary ceo of a plan period. because they're trying to do this identity politics. my thing is you have to sometimes you use the word culture and the cancel culture against them. plan parent and for example have said their races. they've admitted, they said they were going through a rate. we were racist at the beginning. well, okay, you, you use the term, let's use it as a, as a, a sheer, not just a shield, but a short back. and i think again, you're seeing more and more regular americans who not not taking it. and therefore they're willing to express themselves about it to groups that they couldn't have
1:42 pm
done in the past. yeah. and like, i'm not a ghost non barney or people being in a position of power. that is really great. sure. but it's like, did they get the position because they're non binary or because they actually deserve the job and has the qualification that knows how to run the company. exactly. so that's going to be the biggest question there. and how unfair is it that you were doing this to ourselves where somebody is going to get question right? they're going to say, did you get the job because you were feeling that category that's, that's, i'm sort of the person like the people shouldn't have to wonder about why they got promoted. it should be, i'm really good at this. i got a shot. i made it work and that's again a part of this thing that i think the cancel culture, the work will culture really is pull, pulls at the fabric of all of the way that creates this trust about who we are instead of letting people being who they are i'm not as i'm not going to sound judgement of you, but let's not make it so that i have to salute you. i don't the class so i mean, not you personally, but you get the point. exactly. and the thing is we came and joke about it, right. as far as people find it offensive, i find stereotypes to be really funny because i think stereotypes are kind of true
1:43 pm
. yeah. actually get cancelled for saying this, but i think stereotypes are true, you know, how many times i get texted me. of course, like i did texted the name of the agent, family guy, character running every single car off the highway. right. and there's a big explosion behind it because right crossing like 5 lines on the highway, driving recklessly like yeah, i will admit, that is me. i'm a terrible driver like that is me, elizabeth. they are the irish guy who gets texas. think about peer all the time. just to just walk away with these crossing, but actually what did you write about stereotypes? have a they have a kernel of truth in it that that's what can make it funny by the way. schumer is impossible in the cancel culture in the world or will culture it's impossible, which is one of the reasons, again, why i think most normal people are rejecting it. so because we do like to laugh, we like to have, we like to go to the edge sometimes over the line and laugh about it and not think oh your life is over. but it'd be a young person much if we were young 1015 years younger each, both of us and we were back. we might not survive social media because it'd be a record of all the times. we got at least i would have crossed over the line and
1:44 pm
i'd be like i, i could never get a job because i did that when i was 18 and you're on twitter. well, have to never stop. apologize. that's right, exactly. well, thank you so much as well. please stick around. yep, we're going to be back to it. and when we come back from break, we're going to discuss further with our guest, sean stone. so stick around because you're not going to want to miss it. the the the
1:45 pm
the
1:46 pm
welcome back. now of course education as a battle grew. * and for the work debate, some schools are integrating social justice curriculums and parents are worried that these new lessons are pushing their kids to be woke rather than just letting them form their own opinions. so is it education or is it indoctrination? our guest today is filmmaker sean stone. thank you so much for being here with us. john. of course they smelling me. so now so on the trans issue has been beat to death. we've all heard about these trans athletes competing as females and stealing victories. that should belong to actual women. so not only are they beating them, but they are also now allowed in female locker rooms, which just opens the door for a whole new can of worms. so how is that allowed? especially in an educational institution? yeah, it's, well it's not just educational, it's also in correctional facilities and even scarier things that i've heard,
1:47 pm
you know, not just those that are actually transition. but people that identify as, as you know, a male identifying as women going into a female prison. and then you know, being able out to rape, i mean there's formal stories you hear like this. and so how does it allowed to happen because we guy would say, culturally, are being indoctrinated to a perspective that there is no gender, right? that essentially, that sex is not something that's biological, even though you can see in nature and in nature it is, everything is male and female, right? even down to the plants and animals, i mean, there's a reason right? that, that there is a, a, a sexuality of it's based and that's a base and a natural order to create life. and so we only in this weird reality where we think that we can sort of blur at all and lose what is part of the natural order. do you get to a place where you like yeah, well, you know, you can just transition and it's the same if you're a transitioned man as or transition woman. it's the same as being a real woman or
1:48 pm
a, let's say a biological male or female. and i think that's the problem we're, you're basically dean we're, we're trying to, we're just, we're trying to take nature out of our reality. that's what i see coming. and that seems crazy to me because it's like next time we might as well have like a trans ask we compare, compete in mail, rhythmic gymnastics, or floor exercises. and then you'll be squared on artistic as well as technical stuff like the females. and then in that case, then the men become the loser. same with equestrians. so i'm all for trans. ashley's competing in their own segments. yeah, male sports, we have female sports and you can have transports, like i don't see why it can't just be 3 categories and so to a need. yeah, yeah, precisely. i mean, there, there is love, we've had special olympics. right. i mean, this has been around for, for decades to give people that are, you know, that have handicaps right. opportunity to compete where you recognize, look, you know, if you have a biopic legs or something you, they don't, you don't need to compete with someone that you know, that doesn't have biological ends. and that's ok to have that distinction. we've
1:49 pm
been ok with all other distinctions, but when it comes to this trans thing, it's like no one wants to just say the obvious which is okay, great. have a, you know, a trans competition. and um, and then the, as you said, i mean if you're whatever, you know, by of biological male transition to female, it gets so confusing, right? to actually follow. and you know, you start to hear these concepts and you just like seeing that going i, i'm actually getting, i don't even know what that means anymore. like, you know, you're, you're a male, has transition to a female, but you still are dating girls. so it's like you're kind of help, you know, it's like what, what is going on, right? we just like we're in this kind of total blurry, this total mash of what is, what is a, you know, what is constructed as opposed to get going back to this notion of, we're creating a new culture, right? it's a construct, it's a synthetic creation that's i think you try to distance us from the natural, the natural world. yes. and it is confusing and imagine if it's confusing for us already to kind of grasp the concept. think about how confusing it is for kids or
1:50 pm
teenagers going through puberty and trying to discover themselves. so do you think that kids who are being advised or encouraged to take hormone, shots of quote, feel normal like your teenager? nothing feels normal so all of them are going to be like, oh, i don't feel normal. let's take a shot to feel normal. is that gonna have long term consequences in our society, especially when it comes to puberty and development a golf course and well, i mean the, i know that they promote this and obviously look, big pharma is, may, is re being huge profits from all of these uh, transition drugs or form on blockers or don't even though you know, cancel you puberty, all this stuff and they say, oh, well, mostly is reversible. i mean, they will acknowledge that some of these things are, you know, you take, you take home on blockers for a certain amount of time and how is it not going to affect your, your uh, biochemistry. you know, long term. these are, you know, we know the farm, the farmer lies the why is it such a surprise, you know, they're, they're reaping meal, you know,
1:51 pm
millions of dollars just on every transition person. because he think about the amount of money that's spent between all the different drugs that between the, the surgeries, right. and, and, and who knows what else that you know, comes along with it. but the point is that they're making so much money on every person that's transitioning. and of course, you know, they're going to say, yeah, it's reversible. you know, if you do use, if you, if you lose your peanuts and you know, replace it with a vagina, you can always come back later in life. i mean, it's just like the cell you or this, this kind of stuff and it's, and you look at the tractor good of the lives of big farm and how much they have done to harm people with their drugs, with their, you know, with everything with their vaccines, it's like, it's just if you can't recognize that they are deceptive, you know why and then you're missing that. they of course, are also deceiving you on the ramifications. long term effects of what they're selling tickets at this point. exactly. and that's the surgery, surgery certainly is reversible, but it's never going to be the same. not to mentioned. hormone blockers, especially taking hormone blockers during puberty. that hinders development. so you will never actually revert back to because you never even reached the full
1:52 pm
potential of what you were supposed to be when during a growth spurt. so that is really concerning. and now everyone is being encouraged to be their clinical, authentic self. but what does authentic sales even mean these days? when you have people using whatever pronoun, suits them in the moment you have some people say, well today i feel like i'm a woman today. i feel like i'm black next i feel like i'm chinese come having tiny's boots like where do we draw the line and how is that authentic when there is real differences between cultures and races and you can't interchange them. yeah, well and so this kind of goes to the heart of a lot of what the, the agenda seems to be of the global this agenda, let's say, right. the global, the agenda wants to eviscerate any cultural distinction. it wants people to, at one level, be color blind at the other level. global, you know, the left has become extremely racist, right? because they're the ones focusing, everything becomes about race. but then,
1:53 pm
you know, but then they're saying that it's an attempt to be anti racist, but you're at making actually things more evident, right? in the sense of focusing on, on once you focus on race, it actually creates more racial focus, which creates racism. and as all our exceptionalism or not. so the point is that they are that again, there's a hijacking of culture, according to a certain left is the ology can be, that's part of global isn't to of at one level, tweet, vista rate, cultural distinctions. and, and, and, but let's say like tag less conservative tendencies, legacies, or maybe religion values, right? things like this ethics that may be distinctive are unique to certain cultures. and at one level, it's like we obliterate that. but at the other level there, um, they're trying to basically get us into a, as i say, more of an artificial reality where it doesn't like there is no logic. it's like tomorrow tomorrow. if he likes and 84 and looks like that,
1:54 pm
like tomorrow. if we say, you know, white is no longer privilege. now black is privileged, okay. everyone else to think that way, right? and then then the next day it becomes well known. you know, now china is, is privilege like whatever they want to tell you, they want you to forget essentially they want you to lose that legacy of history, of culture, of, you know, of, of ethics, of values, systems that might contradict their system. they want a system that doesn't really make, let's be honest, like, doesn't really make sense. 19 before it was a reality, did it make sense? it was whatever big brother said is what latch, right. so tomorrow, basically this guy is paying, you have to say this guy is paying, that's what they want to create is not really, i don't believe it's really based on any kind of particular value system of like morality or logic or reason. it's more. they want to be able to control the narrative, right, and become more and more certain in the narrative such that you will accept basically anything, no matter how absurd, if it's told to by the main street. absolutely, and that's crazy to me because don't get me wrong. i have friends who are trans and
1:55 pm
i have friends who are gender neutral. the issue isn't that, but when you are an adult and you're in the right head space to determine who you are, that's all fine. but the, the concern, anything about this, what culture is it influence impressionable, confused kids? so how are kids in this growing up in this generation supposed to navigate the world like this? or it's, it's, it's confusing. i mean, that going back to what you said earlier, it's confusing anyway, when you're young, you're going through puberty. you know, i don't think any young man goes through puberty, just making some odd experience or women going through, you know, they're going through puberty without feeling complete turmoil, right. they call that awkward age. i remember like 13 into 14 was like totally an awkward age. you know, your hormones are raging, and so you're already dealing with all of that. now you have a slight societal pressures of the social media, right. the, the sex, the increased sexualization and then the confusion around sex, reality and gender. to him that, you know, i mentioned, you know, should i be uh,
1:56 pm
you know, should i get my, get rid of my, my, my, uh, my sex. i change my sex. you know, i can't stand, might've my hormones at this moment. they know, i think it's likes to be a boy. maybe i'll be a girl. i mean, it's like, it's so confusing already. i don't know how you would navigate it, except again, going back to this notion of like, certain cultural values, norms, ethics, and having that familial a, you know, relationship that again, a lot of the society is trying to get rid of. that's why they don't want parents to interfere if this society want, if, if in like california in states like this, but they are pushing for, you know, 1314 year old kids really good sex changes to the parents' permission. usually that's all part of the intention to take parents and their, let's say their ethics or their, their values out of the way and make it more the stage for august. right to basically to, to cut off that relationship between a family and child and to make it the states. right? basically to take the child from you in a, in a metaphoric way and say, okay, well, you know, if your child wants transition to 13, that's,
1:57 pm
we're going to give that to the child. we're not gonna actually give the parents' permission or say in that in that regard. absolutely. and that is really concerning . well thank you so much. that was filmmaker shawn stone. thank you so much for being with here with us. and it seems like sometimes people just don't like to call things according to the actual definitions anymore. nothing is defined . and people i don't like labels which is ok for some areas of life, but words have literal meanings and you can't just go about creating your own definition for things because it doesn't work like that. you live in the real world with real consequences. and when you screw up in the real world, you have to take responsibility and fix it. of course, i mean, it was fascinating to hear him talk about that reality, but i agree with you completely. the one thing i'd say is the people that want this mentality to grow, want control. in other words, they can take away from parents and influence people to do things and then change it back and do things and change it back. but it's almost like the truth doesn't
1:58 pm
matter. it just matters that they can jerk us all around and make us move in circles. and as you point out, the words are incredibly, they're moving like i used to know what it was to be a big it. i'm not sure what was a big it now. i mean these words are like just wild and, and i think for i know kids, you talked about that it's very important. but all of us are just confused by it. when you live in a world where the air is filled with such insanity, it has the impact of making you insane. and i think a lot of people in this country, america, in the world are really made crazy that, and i mean it as a not clinical. i mean how you live by the fact that the language has been manipulated and twisted it all. by the way, one thing about the sports, well, i got cut from the baseball team. when i was a junior in highschool, it's always been devastated me if you don't have a right to play sports, right. if you decide to be trans, okay, maybe you can't play sports then i mean, that shouldn't be the end of the world. it was, it's like this is like participation trophies. everybody got
1:59 pm
a trophy that the idea of everything in a trophy library plan, a sport. sometimes you make a choice and you're not good enough. you're not going to play. that's life. not that is live. exactly. and you're right. the world is crazy because now we have dylan maloney as i'm going to the year. and today kim carter ash's, i thought a man of the year, so nothing means what it supposed to mean anymore. it's true. but thank you so much for being here with us. and it was a pleasure, great to be with you. so whether your team work or team free speech, remember that the conversation matters and it's all about learning and growing together so until next time. stay well or sleep soundly to our call. i'm as the eye, thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here. next time on the cost of everything. the
2:00 pm
