tv   The Cost of Everything  RT  January 3, 2024 9:30pm-10:01pm EST

9:30 pm
as the new r kansas now i'm not a hate or the work load moving is i just think that they've gone completely overboard. got side acceptance pro now gender confusion enough is enough. i'm christy, 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're ready to go. the tea on whether or not this movement is truly walk or just sleep walking. the 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 while on the surface, that seems like a very noble cause, a great message, and overall, i'm 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
9:31 pm
communities with social media and cancel culture. but isn't cancel a 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 with a day mr. and 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 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. it's
9:32 pm
a question is when other forces come in to damage people? as i was getting ready for this i, 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 named names. i just said that the people i was talking to on cnn were racist. and i said they 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 . 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 kind of the walk movement and cancel 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 song against it because people are not there,
9:33 pm
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 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, 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 wrong. and they use these, these incidents, these instances to damage people and 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,
9:34 pm
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. and in the portland, oregon, you're just going to be given a, a pat on the back, the mobile 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, 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 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 deem to be inappropriate. and it's like how you deem something to be inappropriate. and we're just talking about that. i have posted that got deleted from flag as inappropriate
9:35 pm
. 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 millennium position that people are able to have, say traditional marriage or sexual ality is now deemed so on acceptable that you're going to be around. you're going to be in trouble for it and cancelled. 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, every single aspect of government looks corrupt to me except elections. and we're supposed to say elections are perfect if i can have you say elections are bad in america in 2020, 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 with brussel. you can say all that. and if you say the election of
9:36 pm
2020 was off, you're going to be investigated. yes, wild. yeah. you're going to be investigated and um, you're spreading propagating faults, 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 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 don. 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,
9:37 pm
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 the people like, oh, burning books is bad. now, a lot of americans are saying we're just not going to show our kids. so, you know, graphic sexual books in the public library, you could still have it at home. you could 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 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, you 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 even object to that and you called
9:38 pm
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. exactly. and now even if you're a movie director, you have to cast your trans person's rightcast, your token, black main character, you have to cast a main good character day story like right? all of that is become formulaic and even even have to have an asian 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 and i, and it's correct. but now you just get these people just for the sake of representation and don't 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 that 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 parents. 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,
9:39 pm
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 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 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 fitting 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,
9:40 pm
i made it work and that's again, a part of the signature. 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 you. i don't the class so i mean, not you personally, you get the point. exactly. and the thing is we came and joke about it right days, but most people find it offensive. i find stereotypes to be really funny because i think stereotypes are kind of true. yeah. actually get cancelled for saying this, but i think stereotypes are true, you know, how many times i get texted me 1st. like i did texted the name of the agent, family guy, character running every single car off the highway. right. 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 what did you write about stereotypes? have a they have a kernel of truth in it that that's what can make it funny,
9:41 pm
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 the 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 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 i 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
9:42 pm
the have gave us then has a drug with conquerors attention from time immemorial, in the 19th century, the british empire decided to subjugate that century. the british view, the afghan lands as the northern gateway to india, and wanted to turn them into an obedient province, trying to predict independence, the mere of a dentist in those blue homage durned for help, the russia raise. the rate is considered their deal political adversary. this was
9:43 pm
the last straw for london. britain declared war on the afghans in august, 1839. the invaders occupied couple and brought their henchmen to bower. the invaders brutally suppressed any resistance. thus is deli. they slaughtered all. i have gained man who had reached adulthood and raped hundreds of women seeking to humiliate the muslims to 1841. a general uprising against the british yoke began debris. it is under the command of general elton stone left couple and started to retreat. only a few out of the $16000.00 invaders who had begun their march from google made it to the british position in general about the defeat of the royal army caused enormous damage to the prestige of the british empire throughout the world. the victory of the afghan people became the most important event in the history of the
9:44 pm
arrest people's resistance to the colonialists. it just failed the racist smith of the year at the in invincibility. the welcome back. now of course, education is a battle ground 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 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 takes mailing 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,
9:45 pm
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, 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 allowed to rape, i mean there's horrible 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 was based, invested based on a natural order to create life. and so we only in this weird reality where we think
9:46 pm
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're like yeah, well, you know, you can just transition and it's the same if you're a transitioned man as or a transition woman. it's the same as being a real woman or a, let's say, a biological male or female. and i think that's the problem where you're basically dean, which we're trying to do. 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. it'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 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,
9:47 pm
that i have handicaps right. opportunity to compete where you recognize, look, you know, if you have a biopic legs or something you do, 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. 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 you said, i mean if you're whatever you know, by a biologically 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 how, you know, is like what, what is going on, right? we just like we're in this kind of total blurred, this total mash of what is really what is a, you know, what is constructed as opposed to, again, going back to this notion of, we're creating a new culture, right?
9:48 pm
it's a construct, it's a synthetic creation that's i think you're trying 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 teenagers going through puberty and trying to discover themselves. so do you think that kids who are being advised or encouraged to take formal and shots of global 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 and well, i mean the, i know that they promote this and obviously look, big pharma is me, is reading huge prophets from all of these uh, transition drugs or form on blockers or i don't even know, you know, cancel you people do 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 them on blockers for
9:49 pm
a certain amount of time. how is it not going to affect your, your uh, biochemistry, you know, long term. these are, you know, we know the pump, the farmer lies the why is it such a surprise, you know, they're, they're reaping meal, you know, 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 so you are 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, the long term effects of what they're selling tickets at this point. exactly. and
9:50 pm
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 he never even reached the full 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 self 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 trying these 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,
9:51 pm
the agenda wants to eviscerate any cultural distinction. it wants people to, at one level, be color blind or the other level. global, you know, the left has become extremely re subscribe 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. 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 as 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,
9:52 pm
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 the likes and 84 and looks like that, like tomorrow. if we say, you know, white is no longer privilege. now black is privileged, okay? everyone has 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. and here before it was a reality, did it make sense? it was whatever big brother said is what went, 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
9:53 pm
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 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? it's a, 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 our 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
9:54 pm
have as a slight societal pressures of the social media, right. the, the sex the increased sexualization that then the confusion, around sexuality and gender. and then back into the, you know, and then should, you know, should i be, you know, should i get my, get rid of, my, my, my, uh, my sex, i change my sex, you know, it can't stand, might've my hormones at this moment. they know i, 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 states for august,
9:55 pm
right to basically to, to cut off that relationship between family and child and to make it the state's right basically to take the child from you in a, in a metaphoric way and say, okay, well, you know, your job most transition to 13 that's 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
9:56 pm
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 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 but 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,
9:57 pm
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 a trophy that the idea of everything in a trophy library playing 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's 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 is the i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything.
