WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.120 This article that we're going to talk about now is from the Washington Post. 2 00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:08.160 It was written on the three first of May, and it tells us a 3 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.480 story about hope and resistance against bigotry. So high high school students planned to 4 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.440 perform a play containing LGBTQ characters, but the school canceled it after some parents 5 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.600 complaints, and so the kids didn't give up. They kept trying and trying 6 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.079 and trying, and finally they ended up performing outside the school in front of 7 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:34.000 fifteen hundred people, and so they had to fight against the school board. 8 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:41.119 And in there the article talks about that woman who before most kids could speak, 9 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.439 this woman, kay Nieman. She said she was a taxpayer, a 10 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:52.479 mother, and a pastor's wife. And display Marianne with its LGBTQ characters whatever 11 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.840 how many ABC's you want to put on. It was immorals what we believe 12 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.679 is in the Bible, and it says, and the Bible says, that's 13 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.760 almost actually a sin, and so it's forgivable, don't get me wrong, 14 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.040 forgivable and we love them. But nevertheless, I apploch who ever made the 15 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.319 decision to not have go on. And so this in uh in a nutshell 16 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.000 is christianage, purity, hypocrisy, bigotry, cowardices and hey, Kelly, 17 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.000 yeah, are you telling me that a bunch of high school kids got together? 18 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.680 High school kids, right, got together and beat the biggots. That's 19 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.920 that's freaking awesome. And you know, I think it's a really good example. 20 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.760 If a bunch of high school kids can come together and pull off something 21 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.359 like this. Can you just imagine what you can do in your community. 22 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.760 Take a second out, imagine it now. Anything you just imagined you can 23 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.799 do, just like these high school students did. It's freaking amazing. It 24 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.200 doesn't take much. You don't have to be a professional activist. You just 25 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.640 have to have a cause. That's it. That's it. You gotta believe 26 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.200 it and gotta get up and motivate and do it. Aaron, Yeah, 27 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.000 I totally agree that we have to stand up and work together to fight back 28 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.159 on people that want to force their morality on other people. And we have 29 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.280 to we have to do the work. It's not going to happen. We 30 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.039 can't be apathetic. We have to be willing to do the work. But 31 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.000 it's it's not much. I believe that the student there was one student who 32 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.319 kind of took the initiative to get this play put on, and he contacted 33 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.919 the author of the play, and soon enough after that they had a go 34 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.000 fund me going and they found a theater and they had raised like eighty thousand 35 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.800 dollars to rent out the theater and hire private security. And that was just 36 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.199 one person reaching out to another person, and it just kind of got a 37 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.879 wave of going. You never know what you can start by by just picking 38 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.960 up the phone and calling someone or sending somebody an email or having a conversation 39 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.479 with somebody about what you believe and what you want the world to be like. 40 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.759 And I find it really interesting, doctor Richard, what do you have 41 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.680 to say saying again, the world these from by the people that show up. 42 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.120 It's also fun o the people that show up and fight, and the 43 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.439 people that this won't take, take take the crab who are just like, 44 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:12.120 now we're not going to have this. You can't stand anymore. And I 45 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.240 think there's the kids are just amazing the things they've been doing in the last 46 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.080 decade, where you know, after school shootings, they go out of march 47 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.680 and they have speakers and things like this. And there was the University in 48 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:31.319 Florida recently where they put their own commencements together, which was bigger than the 49 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:37.319 bigger inside who have inside turn their backs too. And all this stuff is 50 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.560 just, I think, wonderful stuff and it needs it needs to be embraced. 51 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.960 We need more of this. We need to show up to these things 52 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.639 and do these things. Now. In the UK, our current government is 53 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.400 trying very hard to stifle our ability to do that. Their latest great idea 54 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.159 is that if you make too much noiise during a protest, you can be 55 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.599 arrested, and they don't define what how much noise is, so it's up 56 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.280 to the police. And as we know, the police are very good at 57 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:08.240 being fair in these situations. That sarcasm, We do it very well where 58 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.240 I'm from. And it's just I just wanting to see them because I just 59 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.360 know that even in the UK, we're still going to have people marching and 60 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.920 making noise and just saying arrest me, fine, but it won't be people 61 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.199 like me, will be people who are younger. I just think it's great 62 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.279 that they are and they're voting as well. This is the main thing. 63 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.600 And if you're not voting and you're want to be part of this get to 64 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.000 the voting. It's all about and because so many things are being imposed upon 65 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.240 people that are religious things, they are religious ideas, they come from religion. 66 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.959 They will pretend that they're not. But at the end of the day, 67 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.319 when you get the Russian doll and you keep peeling back and back, 68 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.319 the last one will be called the Bible. Oh, it's all the Koran 69 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:57.639 or something. We've got to stop this because it's another form of religion interfering 70 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.120 with government, with life, with liberty, with freedom. So yeah, 71 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:06.319 I am so mussively impressed with what a generation of a tougher amina and cooler 72 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.199 than mine. I'll admit it, I'm doing It's amazing. It's just yeah, 73 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.279 Kenny, I can see jumping in the Oh, I am chomping at 74 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.199 the bit. I was gonna lay it air and go, but I'll take 75 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.839 it. Oh. One of the things that that's the woman who showed up 76 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.800 at the school board meeting Kay Nyman. One of the things she says is 77 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.399 it's forgivable. Don't give me wrong. The sin of being a homosexuality is 78 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.800 a forgivable sin. Don't get me wrong. It's forgivable, and we love 79 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.720 them. But nevertheless, I applaud whoever made the decision and not have this 80 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.120 play go on. And it's just that, oh yeah, it's that love 81 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.279 love, love the sinner, hate the sin. I mean, that's what 82 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.639 she said in so many words, and it's just such a bullshit thing to 83 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.439 say, and I think we all know it. I hate it every time 84 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.879 I hear it, because what if we had just reversed it around and I 85 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.199 tried to When I hear it and it's I always say, hey, you 86 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.639 know what, I love Christians, it's just a Christian church. I don't 87 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.360 like. If Christians would just stop worshiping on Sunday and praying and baptizing people, 88 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.399 I wouldn't have a problem with them, you know that. That's so 89 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.399 it's not really the Christians that I hate. It's the Christianity. And you 90 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:23.000 see it sounds stupid because it is stupid. It is really, really stupid, 91 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.439 and I wish they'd stop using it as an excuse because it's not going 92 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.160 anywhere. It doesn't ring well with people on the other side. It only 93 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.000 rings well with them. Aaron. Yeah, you know, Jesus associated with 94 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.279 sinners. He wasn't. He didn't go out And I don't know if he 95 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.639 shut down any plays. There's no record of it, but I don't think 96 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.360 he shut down any plays. But he was out there talking to people that 97 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.199 didn't live the way he wanted them to. That he had to go out 98 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.839 and preach the message. So maybe rather than shutting things down, maybe going 99 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.519 into someone's world. You know, he would have Jesus one of the people's 100 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.360 homes and visited with them. Maybe you should go into these people's homes and 101 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.560 and see what I have to say. Maybe you can go listen to the 102 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.560 play and see another point of view, And maybe if you show some support 103 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.879 and some love, maybe people might be more willing to listen to your message 104 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.040 rather than shutting shutting things down. I don't think very many people are gonna 105 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.759 listen to you when you're going to be that rude or mean to them. 106 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.879 But if you show some compassion and some support, people might be more willing 107 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.040 to maybe listen to your point of view. Cindy, Yeah, you can't 108 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:30.319 show compassion and empathy if everything your thought is hate. And because we talked 109 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.199 about it several times earlier on different shows, Uh, it's you. You 110 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:43.000 can't have on one hand philosophy and the worldview that teaches that you are better 111 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.000 than everyone and then listen to them. That's that's not how it works. 112 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.439 You If you are better than them, then you don't have to listen to 113 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.319 them, you don't have to allow them even to do what they want. 114 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:58.199 You are better than them, so you get to decide. And that's where 115 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.680 this idea that the US is a Christian country, that's the goal behind it. 116 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.879 It's to be able to say people, because we are better, so 117 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.839 we get to tell you have to live your life. That's that's it, 118 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.680 doctor Rich. Yes, it's it's that paradox, isn't it about how you 119 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.000 should allow people to live their life how they want until they become the people 120 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.920 that are telling you that you shouldn't live your life how you want, and 121 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.560 then at that point you should start telling them how to live their lives and 122 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.959 stop bothering you. Carl Popper had something to say about it, I think, 123 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.279 and it's just I agree completely that I think there's a there's another saying 124 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.720 that similar to hate the sin, love the sinner, and it's hate hate 125 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.519 love the cond hate the conty, hate the Connors hate, and it's a 126 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.600 similar thing, but it doesn't quite work. Again, you hit brick warwhere 127 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.840 you find somebody who's been condon say, come on now, why are you 128 00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.320 still being come why are you still falling this? It's it's obvious now that 129 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.879 you are in the middle of some kind of con And it's similarly when they 130 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.600 say this sort of thing. You know, we we hate the sin, 131 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.039 we we love we hate the sin, but we love the sinner. No, 132 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.200 you don't know, you don't at all, because if you did, 133 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.120 you let them their lives how they want to, and you wouldn't find some 134 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.480 reason to hate somebody. At the end of the day. What it is 135 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.200 is classic fear action. It is the fear to something they don't understand, 136 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.000 something that is alien to them, or something is old to them, something 137 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.399 that is different to them. And you know, we know what Yoda says 138 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.480 about that you don't want to go to the dark side. You should remain 139 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.840 in the light and end upon an island or something. But it's it's classic 140 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.080 fear. It's classic rejection on for the other. The other are different, 141 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.480 therefore we fear the other. Therefore we're going to push them away and legislate 142 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.720 against them. Because everybody should be like us. People aren't like us. 143 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.480 We don't get that stand it. We can't tap into that, we can't 144 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.799 get into their mindset. So let's stop them from being different so we can 145 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.559 be comfortable. And it's it's hatred. It's a place of hate and fear 146 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.840 and sometimes discussed when that other becomes dehumanizer, and that's when they really bad 147 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.960 things start to happen. And that's really when the whole we hate the sin 148 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.480 but loves the sinner thing becomes a load of old huey because they start hating 149 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.519 the sinner big time then. And it's a small step, it's a very 150 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.360 small step from we don't want your player to go ahead too, we don't 151 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.240 want you to exist. And there were certain parts of that community that there 152 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.200 are certain people do not accept that they exist already. So that step is 153 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.240 already being taken, which is rightly. But on the other side, the 154 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.320 kids are fighting back. We should fight back with them. We should say, 155 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.399 yeah, these people do exist, they're real, they're different. Embrace 156 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.840 the different and different your diff they're different, it's differ. Let's embrace the 157 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:54.600 differences, not be terrified by them. I finished preaching now. So when 158 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.840 you go to the beach, you know you see a lot of kids maybe 159 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.759 playing in the building sandcastles. Nobody goes up to a kid and smashes their 160 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.360 sandcastle and tells them to stop building sand castle, then kicks them off the 161 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.320 beach. You mind your own business. You let people, you know build 162 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.720 their sand castles, and I really wish there was more of that in the 163 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.919 world. I understand that you personally don't agree that you personally think homosexuality is 164 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.799 bad it's not. I understand that you do that, But why don't you 165 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.799 just mind your own business. If you don't like something, then just don't 166 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.519 support it. But you don't need to come around and smash up somebody's sandcastle 167 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.759 just because it wasn't the way you wanted it, the way you thought a 168 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.000 sand castle should be built. It's kind of do onto others as you would 169 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.879 have others doing too. You wouldn't want people shutting down your play. Right. 170 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.600 If I don't want to come see your play that proselytes about Jesus, 171 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.519 I just won't come see it. I'm not going to try and shut it 172 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.799 down, so I expect the same respect. Don't shut down my play just 173 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.120 because it's got content that you're scared of, you know, just mind your 174 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.879 own business and don't support what you don't want to exist in the world, 175 00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.320 but don't don't ruin people's sandcastles. Right. It's another case of in the 176 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.200 world, but not of the world. Right. It just is of them 177 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.919 going against that idea. One of the things I was wondering about is who 178 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.480 the hell is on this school the school board here when twenty students can show 179 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.399 up and talk about how the place should go on and one parent, one 180 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.279 parent speaks out against twenty students, and they listen to the one parent. 181 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.600 I want to know who's on this school board because I think maybe we need 182 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.559 to change the people who live in that neighborhood. They need to change those 183 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.240 people sitting on that board. That's ridiculous when you could have that many people 184 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.639 on one side and only one on the other side, and the one gets 185 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.159 their way but on the other side of the coin, and it's something I 186 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.639 don't agree with. In the United States, high school kids don't have any 187 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.840 legal rights. I don't know if maybe he remembers back a few years ago 188 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.600 when the kid had a banner saying bonds for Jesus and was kicked out of 189 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.320 his school for it. Even though he wasn't at a school event or on 190 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.080 school ground, and the Supreme Court said that he had no right to the 191 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.919 freedom of speech. So high school students don't have the same legal rights as 192 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.240 we do in the United States. It kind of sucks, but it's the 193 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.759 way it is, and I really don't agree with it. And one thing 194 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.480 I really want to stop seeing and it didn't happen here, but I see 195 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.480 it all the time at these school born meetings where they're fighting against woke. 196 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.120 Most of them can't define woke. I think we all know that. And 197 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.480 what they're doing here is they're doing like word laundering. Like I can't say 198 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.320 that I'm against gay people because then I'm a bigot. I can't say that 199 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:33.320 I'm against trans people because then I'm a bigot, right, So I'll just 200 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.919 say that I can't say I'm against black people because then I'm a bigot. 201 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.000 So I'll say that I'm against woke, I'm against CRT right, So that 202 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.919 way, I'm not using these bigot trigger words. And it doesn't work. 203 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.080 Again, this stuff doesn't work. We know what you're doing, we know 204 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.240 what you mean. Stop pretending like you're saying something that you're not saying even 205 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.679 my duck understands it. You guys are not fooling anyone, and you need 206 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.279 to realize it and actually be understandable about understanding of how your message isn't hitting 207 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.080 home. It just isn't. So, Aaron, I know you had a 208 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.879 lot to say. Don't here, so you got anything more you'd like to 209 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.759 add? Well, you know, I think one of the reasons you can 210 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.840 have twenty kids show up at a school board meeting and nothing happened is because 211 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.080 they're not voters school board members. They don't have to care. Right, 212 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.440 So maybe maybe high school kids that are affected by a school board, maybe 213 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.639 they should have a voice and who's on their school board. Maybe that would 214 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.519 get some of the school board members to listen to to some of their their 215 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.399 voters. And as far as woke goes, you know and me to me, 216 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.120 woke just means listening and believing people when they tell you their stories, 217 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.559 right, not just dismissing what their experiences or dismissing who they are, what 218 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.879 they what they say they are. Just listen and believe people when they when 219 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.159 they share their experience. Uh, Cindy, Yeah, this is part of 220 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.960 a very very aggressive client mate, towards lgb Q people in the US. 221 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.919 As as of late April, there was at least four hundred and eight bills 222 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.440 introduced in forty five state specifically targeting Q people in the US five hundred laws 223 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.600 in forty five state in this year. Again, as as of late April, 224 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.279 twenty nine bills have been voted in place in fourteen states. That just 225 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.320 from first of January to I think it's twenty eight of April, and so 226 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.559 there's most likely more than that right now. So it's it's like the Republican 227 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.759 Party has given up on proposing a platform. They go all out on the 228 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:50.039 especially trans people lately, and that's all. That's everything they do. They 229 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.320 don't offer anything else. It's it's amazing how such a big portion of the 230 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.759 population doesn't realize what's happening. Right It's it's like, are they talking about 231 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:07.639 building roads or bridges or buildings or anything. No, they just complain and 232 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.759 uh and and and deeming people. That's that's all they do. That's that's 233 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.639 quite scary. But they're rich. Yeah, it's it's it's not just an 234 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.559 American thing either, that we know that there are people here that want to 235 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:26.000 make the next lecture. We have a debate about wokeness whatever again, whatever 236 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.159 that defines us. I think you used to be called political correctness, but 237 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:34.080 there's too many syllables so it got confusing, um basically, and it's it's 238 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.799 a weird thing that in the UK it's not again, it's not a left 239 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.360 right issue. There are there's an attack from the left on the trans communities. 240 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:47.120 It's every bit as dangerous as the one from the right, and it's 241 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.120 kind of I don't understand why people. I don't understand why people have to 242 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.960 get into each other's business in this way. And I don't understand that sometimes 243 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.919 people don't have any policies, so all they can do is point at something, 244 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.080 say it's that. It's that's the problem. And this is another example 245 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.680 of it. And there's another thing as well that was going to bring up 246 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.319 that is happening here. There's a very serious discussion about us dropping our age 247 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.640 of voting to sixteen, the argument being at sixteen year old people can get 248 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.720 married, have sex, and die for their country, so maybe we ought 249 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.000 to give them the vote as well. Oh and go to adult prison, 250 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.000 so maybe we ought to give them the vote as well. And I think 251 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.960 we'll actually transform the political landscape in a way that nothing else have arised. 252 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.920 It's equivalent here of them giving DC statehood in the US, everything would change 253 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.119 politically overnight. It'd be like what sort of the party called again? Do 254 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.720 you remember them? They had the president once? That's kind of sort of 255 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.119 would happened here that And I think there's a good call for it because they're 256 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.880 more sensible than we are. Frankly, they're more to tune to these things. 257 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:55.920 And this whole woke thing well home SECRETI is described as as the woker 258 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:57.480 rat, which I'm proud to be. I was going to get a T 259 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:02.000 shirt saying that I remember of the karate and I think I will still get 260 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.119 that T shirt. And it's just a cheap We're coming back to what we've 261 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.839 discussed earlier in other segments. People may have already seen this about how it's 262 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.839 a cheap Let's find another to point at because that gets people to behave in 263 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.000 a certain way, you know, And it's it's it's a big problem in 264 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.279 politics all over the world right now. It's not just us. Things such 265 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.640 as the UK thing, it seems to be the authoritarian part of the world 266 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.400 are just doing the let's let's point at them because we don't want to talk 267 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.559 about infrastructure before. We don't want to talk about infracture, we don't want 268 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.680 talk about roads, we don't have to talk about electricity, we don't want 269 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.880 to talk about making things green and having a green power infrastructure, which we 270 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:47.920 absolutely must do, which yeah, we don't want to do any of that. 271 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.480 What we want to do is point at them and go, they're the 272 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:55.759 reason, you're what things are bad, so and we'll do something about them. 273 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.680 And it's it's it's a growing issue and we know what it needs to 274 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.640 We've been there, not all that long ago, within the last ten years 275 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.279 it happened, it was bad, so that there is this much pushback is 276 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.720 great and long mate content. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what a great 277 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.079 conversation we've hit her today. This was an fascinating segment. I really love 278 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.799 doing it with you guys, and I hope you enjoyed it too. Thank 279 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.759 you all for watching and listening.
