7:02 pm
the now was miss absolutely has its merits. it's brought issues like racism, gender equality, l g, b, t q writes into the spotlight. but while 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? so joining me to discuss this further as my co host for the day, mr. ed martin radio host,
7:03 pm
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 alone. 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 in to damage 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 pressured from the african american community to take you off the air
7:04 pm
. and i said, well, what did i say? the point is the side pressure that's happening. and what would i find, again, most of the city is, is that we don't get to see who those people push and 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 showing 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 as a free speech. do we truly have speech free speech when you're not allowed to express how you truly feel? right. exactly, and, and again, it's,
7:05 pm
it's who's defining the narrative right. in america, 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 the portland, oregon. you're just going to be given a, a pat on the back. i meant yeah. move a move along. exactly. so it's completely lopsided. and the what you mentioned was really important. it's who is in control of it. right,
7:06 pm
right now it seems that the social media companies, they are all on board with this super woke agenda and that makes the entire dialogue one sided. and in fact, you get silenced or shadow band for speaking out of turn on facebook or instagram, or even tip top. 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, right? 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 sexuality 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,
7:07 pm
if every single aspect of government and you and i talked about your position, 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 in 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 guys that go to a brothel. 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 i'm, you're spreading propagating false, right, exactly. 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 in the
7:08 pm
story. so you've got movies, you've got tv shows all giving 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 done right. i think, i think that 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 com servers are saying, i don't want my kids confronted with things that are too edgy and initially there people like, oh, burning books is bad. now a lot of americans are saying, we're just not going to show our kids, 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,
7:09 pm
but don't show it to kids. so i do think that there's a, i a, i'm a movement back to correct, 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, we get to it, you know, hot button, l g, b, t, q, 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 your call 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
7:10 pm
deserves to be in the story line. and it's correct. but now you just get these 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. well, 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 2 of the top 3 are white man, and that's like, that's kind of weird white man at the, to the truck and turn it. and they just announced and, and then usually the person that runs to seek the see or the 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 heard it 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 has said the racist 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 are not,
7:11 pm
not taking it. and therefore they're willing to express themselves about it to groups that they couldn't have 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 do? we are 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 unfair to 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 so i'm not going to sound judgement of you, but let's not make it so that i have to salute to 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 days,
7:12 pm
but most people find it offensive. i find stereotypes to be really funny because i think stereotypes are kind of true. yeah, i still get cancelled for saying those, 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 meaningless about the i the irish guy who gets texas think about peer all the time. just to just walk away with these crossing. but actually when 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 to or 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 the y f, we'd like to have, we'd 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 younger 1015 years younger each, both of us and we were back. we might not survive social media because it'd be
7:13 pm
a record of all the times. we got at least i would have crossed over the line and 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 if 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 shawn stone. so stick around because you're not going to want to miss it. the sometimes it is impossible to be hold of nature and not just be mesmerized by the beauty that our world has to offer. and share with water falls with glaciers and well for seen beauty around every corner. this feeling is ever present. this is the republic of the city of columbia, the,
7:14 pm
the, the, i really thought that we were going to die and i crawled all the way to the right. and then i hid behind the board and business has to continue to stick with the system. basically we want to make sure that certain too dangerous for regular civilian shouldn't be in. and those people who are in st. that's for stake nowhere.
7:15 pm
the motion of the money. i mean you clear up, she was the most schools do. if you look for them, the initial do 1 o'clock, significantly post on zillow, will it be the honest can use the body? what do you do, origin. but y'all just done the newest frame on the belief systems to good ludy. what i see these the buses, the little cute little dyson says this to the, to do on both of the
7:16 pm
welcome back. now, of course, education is a battle ground for the work debate. some schools are integrating social justice curriculums and parents or worry that these new lessons are pushing their kids to be work 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, ashley's 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
7:17 pm
things that i've heard, you know, not just those that are actually transition, but people that identify as, as you know, a male then a fine as a woman going into a female prison. and then you know, being able to rape, i mean there's horrible stories that 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 then 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're 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
7:18 pm
a, let's say a biological male or female. and i think that's the problem where 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 asked we compare, compete in mail, rhythmic gymnastics or for exercises. and then you'll be scored 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 actually is 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 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 don't, you don't need to compete with someone that, that you know, that doesn't have biological ends and that's ok. to have that distinction,
7:19 pm
we've 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, as like what, what is going on, right? we just like we're in this kind of total blurry, this total measure of what is re, what is called 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
7:20 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 clinical feel normal like your teenage or 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 the golf course? it, well, i mean the, i know that they promote this and obviously look, big pharma is make is re being huge profits from all of these uh, transition drugs or form on blockers. or i don't even know, you know, cancelling people yellow 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 them on blockers for a certain amount of time. and how is it not going to affect your, your biochemistry, you know, long term. these are, you know, we know the farm, the farmer live. so you, why is it such a surprise, you know, they're, they're reaping mill. you know,
7:21 pm
millions of dollars just on every transition. person, because you 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, these, if you, if you lose your peanuts and you know, replace it with a vagina, you can always come back later and live. i mean, it's just like the cell you or this, this kind of stuff. and it's, and you look at the track record of, 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, 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 and long term effects of what they're selling tickets at this point. exactly. and that surgery, surgery certainly is reversible, but it's never going to be the same, not to mention 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
7:22 pm
potential of what you were supposed to be when during our growth spurt. so that is really concerning. and now everyone is being encouraged to be their clinical, authentic self. but what does authentic selves 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? so the global, the agenda wants to eviscerate any cultural distinction that wants people to, at one level be color blind or the other level. globally, you know, the left has become extremely racist, right?
7:23 pm
because they're the ones focusing, everything becomes about race. but then, 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 in itself. or 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 contin. it's part of globalism to of at one level, tweet, vista rate, cultural distinctions. and, and, and, but let's say like tag less conservative tendencies, legacies of libby, 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. so 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 you like somebody before and looks like that,
7:24 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 the next day because, well know, you know, now training is, is pretty much 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 that. let's be honest. like, doesn't really make sense. 19 to 4, it was a reality. did it make sense? it was whatever big brother said is what went right. so tomorrow they say this guy is paying, you have to say this guy is paying that's what they want to create. it's 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 you by the main street. absolutely. and that's crazy to me because don't get me wrong. i have friends who are trans and i have friends who are
7:25 pm
gender neutral. the issue is in 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 a thing about this work culture, is it influenced 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 speaking from experience or woman 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. and then back into the, you know, i mentioned, you know,
7:26 pm
should i be uh, you know, should i get my, get rid of my, my, my, uh, my sex. i change my sex, you know, they can't stand by my hormones at this moment. they know, i hate sucks 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 to states like this, but they are pushing for, you know, 1314 year old kids really good sex changes to the parents permission. you see that's all part of the, in 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 states progress. right? to basically to, to cut off that relationship between family and child and to make it the states, right? basically to take the child from you in a metaphor away and say, okay, well, you know, if your child wants transition to 13, that's,
7:27 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 we're a 10 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
7:28 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 the 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, but it's like this is like participation trophies. everybody got
7:29 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 car dashing the man of the year. so nothing needs what it's supposed to mean anymore. it's true. but thank you so much for being here with us as 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. kristi, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the the,
7:30 pm
the, the probably her my, the assess the store. okay. the model girl that i got you. no problem. seeing that on the out of the thing. 30 minutes. yeah, side of the drive i showed my brother through he was sudden to hoping for a lo so now i never looked at searches as being saved. well i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago. police. it'd be gang chicago is like you get photos. i believe you really think your life as another crime, same another i could have been a doctor or nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here. the
