BOMBSHELL: Project Veritas Exposes Critical Race Theory at Hasbro w/ James O'Keefe

welcome to hasbro we're selling brand new toys now pushing for critical race theory toys the first toy we have to unveil is a nerf gun but the nerf gun every time you shoot it if you hit a white person it hurts even more because white people deserve it here at hasbro we'll also be releasing a new form of monopoly where all black people that play start off with a million dollars of reparations all white people start off in jail and all native americans start off with 10 pieces of property for the stolen land that we took from them and to round out our board game offering we've got guess who's oppressed and if you are a black person then you are oppressed and if you've been you can also guess who's racist and it's the white people especially the white males if you're a black person playing the game you automatically win if you're white you automatically lose in all cases hasbro loves critical race theory hasbro does love critical race theory as we've learned this morning uh through the vein of project veritas who you know james o'keefe the i guess founder of project veritas what we'll call him uh has released so many stories over the past years that he's been doing this but this one's really important because it talks about critical race theory you know that theory that the left says is not infiltrating different facets of our society is not being taught in schools it's not being pushed by corporations well it turns out we're not conspiracy theorists after all it is being taught by corporations one of which is hasbro and a man came out by the name of david johnson and he has exposed that he's actually an employee at hasbro and they are teaching crt i'm going to show you a clip here from an interview that he did with james o'keefe here we go my name is uh david johnson i'm a packaging engineer for hasbro they are attempting to covertly push crt critical race theory through branding and messaging through their products explain what we're looking at here this is the program developed by the conscious kid which is working with hasbro to teach children about racial bias at an early age by three to six months babies are beginning to notice and already express preference by race by age three children are already starting to apply stereotypes they also may use racist language intentionally at this age this well i know though when i was three years old all the other kids were calling me cracker and that's you know yeah this was just what three year olds do right it's often yeah when i was three years old a lot of kids a lot of white kids were walking up to me and saying you know we wish we were back in 1960. this is magga country yeah this is mega country yeah i was called a lot of racial slurs when i was three years old yeah i don't know about you guys it's very common these days but anyways we got the amazing opportunity to interview both james o'keefe and david johnson and we're going to show you that interview now talk a little bit more about hasbro and crt all right what's up guys we got david johnson here and james o'keefe for project veritas and i've just been alerted to some quite crazy information you guys were telling me about that david has now been suspended from his job at hasbro this is true um i tried to log into work this morning and all my passwords were uh voided uh couldn't access any folders or meeting information um suspended yes and so why did that did they give you any sort of reason is it because you came out as a whistleblower or what um no one said anything to me directly i had some people at harvey nash the company i contract through reach out to me and state that they were i was suspended pending investigation and so what was the situation that made you say okay i see what is happening at hasbro and i need to get in touch with someone like james o'keefe to actually come out and and share the truth why did you do that um i've seen crt and things what how however else it's called wokeness intersectionality i've just seen it spread so far throughout other places in our culture that just when i saw it at work i'm just like i had a chance to actually speak out and say hey this is not cool this is not something we should be doing and there's no people like veritas who are gonna just expose that and bring it to light now in that training and i watched your your initial interview this morning they were talking about uh children as young as three years old showing racist tendencies were you surprised at all to hear that in your training at hasbro yeah my jaw was on the floor um it was just so mind-blowing to actually hear and i'm i'm not unfamiliar with their ideology but just just to hear people just wholeheartedly believe that you're gonna have a bunch of three-year-old racists running around is just ridiculous i mean children aren't going to be that way unless the adults around them are teaching them to be that way that's exactly right i mean racism is something that is taught and what it seems like from the stuff you showed is that hasbro wants to actively teach racism to the kids who it's marketing to and the parents that are buying the stuff for the kids were there any more specifics on how they were going to implement this crt into let's say a toy brand or a certain product was there any more specifics on something like that so maybe parents who are watching this have something they can look out for nothing too nothing too specific um it seems like at hasbro it's kind of in its early stages they do mention that they wanted to make sure that whether it's product design packaging marketing that um just the tenants of crt are being considered at every level now james i'm sure you weren't surprised by this at all you've been doing work uh surrounding this issue for years what do you think is the overall plan when it comes to crt well i i think this is an area where we just sort of been hearing about it but i think it's important for people on the inside to blow the whistle people inside education people inside companies i i don't know what the plan is until we hear it from their own mouths but it certainly people don't mess around when it comes to their kids so hearing a toy company talk about six-month-old two-year-old kids viewing everything for the prism of race and hearing um my newest lawyer friend here david tell me he was inspired by the legacy of dr martin luther king it was pretty profound and moving to such a degree that it inspired other people to reach out to us in the last 24 hours including another person from hasbro so we have is effectively a movement of people that are more passionate about what's happening on critical race theory then a regard for their own personal sense of well-being or their own career i mean david when i met david what was remarkable is he said he's an engineer in packaging science and he went to rochester institute of technology a very good school from rochester new york and uh he's didn't sort of disregarded his own welfare for his own career because he felt people needed to see it and he recorded that presentation immediately so i think they fear him more than he fears them and that's pretty a remarkable thing it's what journalism is all about because because they fear you more than you fear them do you see this as and i guess james you can also answer this as well just in a more macro level do you see that this is actually doing work that maybe hasbro is going to switch their practices or switch their policies and james are you seeing it that around the country more corporations and schools and things are switching up the things they do because they you know don't want to be caught in the act essentially well i've seen that the companies are that's a good question because on one hand that what journalism what we're doing here is effectively showing you what they don't want people to see but on the other hand uh hasbro kind of they did issue us a statement initially and they sort of stood behind what they were doing so what are your thoughts david yeah i've seen a lot of companies come out when they're exposed about this and not just like big corporations like schools as well um a lot of them have been kind of doubling down on the critical race theory i'm not entirely sure why especially when they're getting a lot of pushback especially from parents i would hope hasbro would not continue to push uh crt but um i have no way to tell for now it seems like most of them like when we're talking about the crt stuff they try and play it off and say like oh this isn't really happening in your schools oh it's not that big of a deal hasbro doesn't want to sell crt toys and then in a month from now they're going to have a transformer that goes from white to black as their new crt toy you know this is like it's all under the radar that they try and say oh it's not that big of a deal but they're really doing it right in front of us and then try and change the language do you see that now because people get caught in the act or or exposed that they're changing the language about the things that they profess um absolutely so so much gaslighting about it um every time they come out and they're caught and they're like oh we're not actually teaching crt they're just pushing the principles of crt so they can kind of get away with like a linguistic manipulation but when it comes down to it they're pushing the they're practicing crt and that's what i wanted to speak out against yeah and the the truly evil thing about crt is that they think they're helping people that look like you and people that look like me and they expect you to just sit there and be silent and take it and nod your head what has the reaction been beyond getting suspended i know you said in your initial interview that your parents don't even know that you're doing this um they don't know no no um i've been getting a lot of just great feedback from so many people even people within my family they're just everyone's saying how just brave and proud it's it's surreal um it makes me really feel like i'm doing something worthwhile and i don't regret it for a second oh that's great that's what's so good that i tell people all the time and this is i'm sure james you can attest to this as well with the people who come forward with you people are so scared to come forward or say something about how they feel or what they believe because they think their life is going to get so much worse but in a lot of ways your life gets better you are a more free and liberated person by coming and saying the truth than you are being someone who lives in the shadows or doesn't actually say how you how you feel well that's a very you just said it in a better way than i ever could um charlie and charlie kirk and i were talking about this yesterday this is the idea that people are more afraid of losing what they have than gaining what they don't they're most people are very afraid of losing what they have but we begin to realize that in this life this is going to sound a little metaphysical here but you know we want something to mean something after we're gone we're all going to fall to ashes one day to quote eric cocker and the pinterest engineer that you met um which is what he told me and and i think that people are increasingly i'm seeing this because i i mean literally i'm sitting here i'm looking down at my phone because i've got every minute another person i work for this company i work for amazon i work for google i work for and i want to give me one of those little hidden cameras and you might wonder what type of person would give up a four hundred thousand dollar a year salary i mean david worked went to rochester institute of technology he's an engineer 25 years old and he's he cares more about what they're doing than his own self you know when one could say self-interest or his own career because i think in our society people are increasingly placing more of a value on the passion they have for the truth and it's a movement that's budding but these companies are doubling down i mean they hasbro is kind of doubling down we stand by but we're forcing them to and and um i think what the goal of this project the goal this movement is to decrease the difference between what we're told and and the reality as it is because they're always trying to hide stuff from us and as we can decrease that reality we're going to convert more people to the truth because there's only one truth well you can't change reality i said on stage yesterday i said you know freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two equals four and if and if that is allowed all else follows so it starts with people like david i think it's the most inspirational thing i've ever seen my producer and i were talking about that it was profoundly moving to hear what david has to say and and uh there's gonna be a lot of people that now have the permission to do what he did because he's done it and he's shown that it can be done and there's life after whistleblower that's great i want to go ahead and say big thanks from both will and i and everybody who watches our program to both of you not only you david for speaking out and telling the truth but to you james for giving him the platform to do so how can people support you david and how can people support you james um there is a gifts and go set up for people who do want to support me monetarily um any donations are greatly appreciated and then veritas um veritas tips at protonmail.com i think i got that right yes that's right um reach out if you if you are inside a company and you see something that's wrong like it's it's scary but like you can do it you'll overcome it um you'll become stronger you'll be free after and speak the truth that's great i mean and these stories can be very harrowing for people to hear to find out what's really happening behind the scenes but it's good that you have a hopeful message for them and james you have a new book out that's now for pre-order can you tell us about that yeah that's uh this is all the proceeds from this book go go to project veritas but that i um i actually share you i share with you the first chapter the first chapter of the book is about suffering people say oh my goodness that sounds like a it sounds like a sad book to read but i think in you know starting in this journey i was arrested and faced a lot of some persecution david delide and face persecuted and you know faced persecution so i i just tried to document what it's like to be a whistleblower and an investigative reporter in this age and it's a hopeful book because it talks about this this arc where you start out and you um this is out in january but it's just on pre-order now and uh i talk about about what it's like to be a whistleblower and what it's like to face retribution david has been suspended an hour ago from hasbro right but if you listen to his voice he's hopeful and and and they have to go through me to to get to him essentially they have to go through my organization to to hurt him so they can't hurt him and what begins to happen as more people like david it's ironically your name is david by the way i think it's faith it's faith because david assumes new strength as goliath is attacked on all sides and as david does what he does he creates five more davids and begs 10 more davids and 20 and 1600 i'm not exaggerating we literally have over 100 of these people all over the country and as they and as that happens um it's kind of jujitsu the oppressor becomes the oppressed the people promoting critical race theory are the ones who are on the run and and the hunter effectively becomes the hunted and it's very counterintuitive to most people because they people are constantly whining and bitching and complaining about all the problems what do i do i can't do anything well maybe if you actually did what he did you'd actually start solving the problems in society because he did it and by doing it he gives other people the permission to do it too and that's what's happening and i don't think people so that's what this book is about i just wrote an academic book about that process david david assumes strength as goliath is attacked on all sides and the hunter becomes the hunted and that's how we're going to solve the issues in our society not politicians politicians are downstream from culture politicians can only do things that they have the political capital do once given that capital by the people so it's really a massive movement of truth tellers that we need if we're going to have any functioning government in our republic so that's the change that we need to see that's what the book is about please order the book all proceeds go to help our whistleblowers amazing yeah no i just hope that hasbro doesn't challenge you to a dance battle any time soon they would lose that day over hey it's really good to have both of you guys on i appreciate and i hope to have you guys on again soon thank you so much thanks will what an awesome interview what a cool thing to be able to do and we caught them so fast i mean the story is just breaking today uh and it it's just crazy to think about how crt has literally overtaken everything in our society we were the first ones he talked to after david lost his job got suspended from his job he came on because he was he he got onto the interview a little bit late and then came on and was like yo we are handling david suspension and i was like can we break that on the show he's like yeah so we are the first ones to do that let me just you know we're a breaking news organization seriously you know you heard of your first tune my own horn button yeah if there was one handy i want to say you heard it here first because every single weekday 2 30 p.m pst that's 5 30

notified when we go live and just know 2 30 p.m pst is 5 30 p.m eastern every single weekday going live talking about culture politics and everything else right you know i like that that interview ended with a very very hopeful message but uh in honor of our show and you know the way this guy this thing goes guys uh we're gonna give you a story that's not so happy uh this is a post out of breitbart i'm going to show you here lianna bloom becomes sports illustrated swimsuit issues first trans cover model gonna be honest it's pretty hard to tell that that is that that was a man there's some masculine features no i'm sure if i met him i would be like okay yeah right right in this picture like if you just if you're just walking in the airport and you're like about to get on a flight and it's 8 am and you're like you know i need some 8 a.m reading on my plane so you get the sports illustrated swimsuit edition yeah you would potentially not know that that is like i don't i don't think you would know that's very strange to me i don't like that i know that makes it that makes it terrifying yeah a lot of people it is terrifying and the the hard part about this for me is that again it's it's taking away from women and i say i say this all the time what does it mean to be a woman anymore and we've blurred the lines so much that a biological man can be on the cover of sports illustrated it's yet another uh piece of ground that they've taken from us and that we have conceded to them so it's very unfortunate i remember a couple i think it was two years ago for the sports illustrated swimsuit edition we were at the airport and we picked it up because you know we didn't it was me and my buddy and we didn't really have much else to do on a flight back and so i got it and even then two years ago i mean they were doing all the woke stuff there was there was a very large model an overweight model i think there was like a disabled model and you know kudos to these women for breaking beauty standards doing whatever you like but let's be real these magazines are made for men to look at and say hey i want to look at hot women and pictures of boobs and that's why i bought this magazine is that not why i mean that is exactly that's why you're not that's why you buy the magazine okay you don't you aren't buying this for the articles okay no you're buying this because you want to see hot women and so you put a trans person on the cover and you put overweight women in it and disabled people it's like you can do that you can pander to the woke mob but the main audience that you've been trying to hit for years and years you are turning them away from what you're doing so i don't think this is going to be a very good financial decision for sports illustrated to do something like this so more power to them if you want to do that but just know men don't want to read this right then don't want to look at pictures of someone who is a man victoria sacra just did the exact same thing too yeah exactly it is a testament to the downfall of the argument saying oh well what does it matter it's just this one thing it was just bathrooms it was just women's sports it was just the emmys it was just women's pageants it's just sports illustrated it's just victoria's secret this every time that we can see ground you give an inch they take a mile well they say it's not that big of a deal they say it's not that big a deal this is what i talked about on the show on friday it's not that big of a deal well it's like if it's not that big of a deal then why do you care so much right why do you care so much if it's not that big of a deal to have one on then why don't we just say okay it's not that big of a deal is not have them on right it's only a big deal to you leftist when you don't get your way it's a big deal to you if you don't get your way but if we don't want your way then it's like oh why are you making such a big deal about it it's just one trans person on the cover right that's what men want to see because they know what the ultimate goal is and the ultimate goal is to rearrange what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a man and rearrange biological science because now everything is on a spectrum and you can be whatever you believe that you are in your mind and when that's not the case and you try to say it's not the case they go oh why are you making such a big deal out of this small thing i think they're trying to i mean i think it's even more than that i think they're trying to push men to like this i mean they put a a a guy who's a man who's transitioned to a woman he's he has womanly features quote unquote sexy women features i'm not calling him sexy okay i'm saying yes sexy disclaimer features this i have to disclaim it okay but you know big boobs and probably a big butt and and looking like a woman like they're trying to normalize that for men too the irony too of like him can or the the trans person is conforming to all of the female beauty standards and yet at the same time they're dismantling the beauty standards that they're quitting none of it makes any sense it's yeah it's like why why isn't it a fat woman trans person with other disabilities and stuff if that's like why not do it all at once why do we have to have her fitting into the traditional beauty which is it right right no they should have put like an overweight trans model on the front with cellulite they have no idea oh don't worry they're gonna get there because they have to ease you into it they have to they have to contribute it to a cognitive pattern that you already have for women and that's that attractive victoria's secret looking model and then once you've accepted that and that's okay they'll put out another issue of sports illustrated where maybe she's bald or her hair is purple and then they'll put out another one where she's overweight or another one where it's just a man who says i'm a woman that's just like that conservative that picture that we looked at the show out on friday about conservatives being the speed limit right to the left and it's like conservatives at one point in like a week or a year are going to be like you know we're fine with putting a trans person on the cover of sports illustrated but a fat trans person is too far yeah you know that's where we're at right now unfortunately it's very sad it said but it's like we're not the ones making a big deal out of this you guys are making a big deal out of this by putting it on magazines you're the one who's making a big deal out of crt by putting it in kids toys it's like they're pushing their ideology every which way that's why it's you know movies don't get made by big studios anymore unless they have all these diversity quotas and stuff it's like you're making this a big deal we're just defending reality and trying to reel us all back in and stay tethered to reality because you're pushing an ideology that is untethered from reality and it's so untethered from reality that you have to you have to use your uh the institutions that you control to push it down on everyone and you have to get it in into kids and they're still you know in blues clues and stuff like that because they're you have to train them to be racist you have to train them to think the way that you think uh because it's not it's not natural it's not real life right this was tough because the people in charge can make these kind of decisions for something like sports illustrated model but i feel like i i'm gonna go on a limb i don't have any real data but i'm assuming men don't want to see this okay men don't want that on the cover so why do they actively go against their audience to make a woke point why do we see that happen all the time that these companies and people go against what their audience actually wants and makes these types of bold statements why do they do that yeah and you're gonna lose money why do you do that and every time i always make this point and i'm sorry if i sound like a broken record on this but why are you normalizing a mental problem that leads to suicidal ideation i don't know why why somebody would do that and time and time again when we talk about this and we bring up the fact that transgender people have one of the highest suicide rates of all demographics in our nation it just gets swept underneath the rug and they keep normalizing him they're giving transgender actresses emmys now and nominating them in categories they're putting them on sports illustrated it's happening everywhere and now they're indoctrinating kids into confu being confused about their gender and thinking that they are transgender when we know it leads to mental illness and suicidal ideation that baffles me yeah they don't they don't care about people's actual well-being they care about pushing like power you know they care about seizing power for their ideas to win and even if they have to lie even if they have to no matter how many innocent victims there are along the way it's like the same thing with the whole defund the police thing like defunding police hurts minority uh in neighborhoods the worst and yet but they have to push this narrative because it's the ideology it all costs the the actual victims of their ideology they they overlook it it's like it's it's cuba you know they're everywhere everywhere you do communists like the actual people suffer but they're saying they're we're doing this for you the you know the common man and that's the one who ends up poor and oppressed and and you're it's so backwards because you're like oh you're oppressed by capitalism you're oppressed by all this stuff it's like you know entrust us this small group of elite people who are going to control everything and control all the state economy and give you know charge you 200 for a bag of rice yeah just give us the power because we're fighting for you it's like you have to you know push this idea of oppression um so that you can actually oppress them we give it back to you there's no people that's bad doesn't even know where that's from i don't you've seen batman i haven't seen batman dark knight rise i haven't i'm going to be completely honest with you guys wow in a woman's body i was molded by it you know what the good news is i'm i'm never bored on this podcast no that's a good thing i feel like you are bored when we make movie references that you don't get i'm still interested even though i think it's lame well i'm going to see it seen like two movies that is not true i've seen a lot of movies it's just never movies that you guys reference so then you've only seen bad movies no it's not true because taylor and i see good movies yeah that you haven't seen do you think we only watch christian movies you want to know how great will is well it is just ask him he'll tell you i only watch the best movies you don't even have to ask no you don't i'll just tell you yeah i'll just tell you or you can just see it wow see it for yourself that you and i am much more modest in person no you're not i am someone come again let's just keep moving all right okay well yeah you kind of interrupted my segway i'm just gonna say i'm never bored on this podcast which leads me to the next segment which is an article out of the washington post talking about boredom and its link to mental illness brain injuries and dysfunctional behaviors now will you put this on the dock right you're the i put this on the dock yeah i sent this today it's actually a super interesting read and i'm not going to go into everything that's in this article because it is quite extensive but they talk about the the link of boredom to mental illness self-harm suicidal ideation about a slew of problems that you can have and we live in an increasingly bored society wouldn't you say yeah i posted this a while ago or maybe a couple weeks ago i don't know i said only boring people get bored that's an incredibly true statement from me my own statement that i published justice before anyone else said it just ask him i'm really quite modest okay guys i promise um no it's it's true though only boring people get bored if you don't have anything to do with your time then it's because you're a boring person you should be able to entertain yourself or educate yourself at times when you feel like you have nothing to do so either you're too lazy to go and read or educate yourself or you're not an interesting person to have anything to entertain yourself with and i mean there's that i think you can have what's what's laid out in this article is something called boredom pronus where you are just a person who is biologically more prone to getting bored but we also listen it is actually a real thing are you sure laid out this is like one of those things that people say oh you have like all these different stresses and now we have to give like people medications for all this stuff i'm just saying like they're gonna start giving medications how do people have is the fact that we are in a society that is making this worse with the over stimulus of social media and phones and technology and what can happen is that we are so used to the instant gratification of using our phones of being on social media of buying and getting whatever we need at any given time that regular stimuli which we experience out in the real world is no longer enough to keep us engaged as human beings no that's definitely true but i think it's even more i think it's it's having too much time to do these things yeah well i'm gonna show uh talk about a study that they did in this article and it's a study where they had a bunch of young men and women they put them in a room with no stimuli for 10 minutes and with them was just a button that administers a mild electric shock now when given the opportunity to self-administer a mild electric shock with a button 76 percent of men and 25 percent of women pressed it at least once to help them pass the time based on that no that would for sure press it for sure you guys would i would not see see this people think men and women are the same they're not because percent of men would administer elections yeah yeah they said they even had one miserable person who shocked himself 190 times through the duration of the 10 minutes oh that's just a weirdo sadist that should be illegal it should be illegal yeah and they they say that boredom is one of the worst feelings that you can have as a human being that uh yeah come on the majority dramatic the majority of people who took this survey and participated in this experiment said they would rather experience physical harm than prolonged boredom no i mean that makes sense i get why people would say that but you are being so dramatic okay you are being so dramatic it goes to show how cushy society exactly that boredom the absence of any demand on you of any kind you can't handle it i think this definitely speaks to a deeper issue um in our culture today where the the prevailing like our culture the prevailing ideology does not give people a source of meaning and you know you you have to like meaning is found in going from a to b and if you're going nowhere if you if you don't have any beliefs or any convictions about what's true and what's beautiful and what's good and what's worth fighting for as uh samwisekamg would say there's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for that going on that pursuit that's your hero's journey that's your call to adventure that's is trying to go out and make the world better and and fight for that and we you know and then like there's a proverb it says without a vision do people perish or it's it's uh it's in the scripture somewhere look it up without a prophetic vision that people perish and cast off restraint like that that's so true like if you don't have a vision for your life and but like our culture does not give young people a vision anymore it's all about collect sit back and collect an unemployment check indefinitely because we need you need to be taken care of and there's no challenge there's no hey go out there and make make something of yourself society needs you to be an individual to be an uber mensch and and make something of yourself and we there's just no framework for that that's taught it's not it's not in our cultural stories anymore it's not in our movies it's not put out there the dad's always a deadbeat instead of someone who's heroic and you know that that's what's happening that's what's beneath all of this stuff this is why when we were in vegas this weekend we were in vegas this weekend for taylor's bachelor party which was a ton of fun we lost all of our money which is fine we bet it all on red one hand on red on roulette and we lost all of it that's fine that's fine um anyway it's fine when we were in the pool and i brought up don quixote i don't remember why i brought it up but don quixote is an amazing book because it if you guys haven't read don quixote don quixote tells a tale of a guy who basically becomes a knight and he is super imaginative and then he's got his partner pancho who's more of like a realist and they go together and and they learn and he's like fighting a windmill thinking that it's monsters and everything and it's a story of creating adventure and excitement around your life even if that's not there but you are going out and doing something amazing with the time that you have it's an amazing read if you guys haven't read don quixote you should definitely read don quixote but it's uh that's what it's like and it's like people instead of looking back and saying oh like the world sucks like you should be going and looking to make the things that you say suck better but do we have the added benefit of growing up at a young age without being exposed to the sort of technology that young people are exposed to now because if you are what a two-year-old right now growing up with an ipad in your hand and you grow up to be a young adult how can you not experience this extreme boredom just as a as a result of the way that you were nurtured yeah but you're like 14 years old you grew up i was i grew up with a tv i wasn't raised with a smartphone in my pocket but by the time that you were like in high school you did yeah when i when i became a high schooler i got a smartphone yeah but it's completely different than being a young toddler raised with instant gratification always in your hands right and the companies engineering their algorithms in order to you know keep your attention span as short as possible and keep you on their app as long as this would affect someone who's you know 50 years old like taylor like this oh absolutely but the extent is far different right well there's something to be said for like we haven't caught up with uh like our culture's not caught up with how to handle like wisely the technology that we have sure we are the technologies outpaced our development as a culture and we're also too dumb though and no one has any wisdom to actually value uh not letting technology hack our brains so i don't think we really care yeah i think i'm a little bit more pessimistic on it in that corporations are working actively to disable that part of people's minds and to keep them in this in this brain fog of just wanting to buy and consume yeah that's a hundred percent true yeah but i i talked about this like they're doing what they're incentivized to do you know they're incentivized to max and keep you on their platform as long as possible so i mean that's to be expected but what hasn't caught up yet is how to uh how do we regulate that for one but then how do you interview as individuals and individual families how do parents you know monitor their kids time and yeah and people are outsourcing parenting to their tablets and kids are just getting you know their brains are being hooked up to this stuff and you don't you don't but it comes from not again not having it like you know people with strong values and deep convictions you'll you you will notice that effect that it's having on your children and then you'll you'll tr you'll catch it and you'll train them and you'll help you'll tell them the stories that will help lead them in the right way it's so interesting that we're talking about this because the church service that i went to this weekend was called vigilance in the age of technology and it was a church service specifically for parents talking about what they can do with their children and the the preacher read something really interesting is that a majority of american families and households the parents only spend 35 minutes a week having meaningful conversations with their kids yeah that's the rookie numbers you got to push those numbers up that's it's insane and they're talking about the technology that kids are using and they're there are kids that spend uh six or more hours every single day on technology so when our generation is gone and we got to experience life without the invasiveness of technology and all that's left are the generations that had nothing but that what is the world going to be like well you should be talking to your kids about values i agree yeah things going on in the world at least at dinner time like if you if you come home late or whatever because you're working hard you should at least be doing it at dinner time and as much as you can in between then too i mean it's incredibly important for you to do that yeah i will say too like this is why someone like jordan peterson has risen to such prominence because there's such such a dearth of like meaningful engagement he's like he's he's telling people what they need to hear and saying all he does is like say true things and hey sort yourself out you know and kids aren't hearing that and they're not being exposed to a fig having he's like the dad of this whole generation that is is not being given any vision or held any given any accountability for their lives but people still i think have a deep existential need for that on some level and um if you can speak to that as he has i think it can be awakened as long as they're not too deep entrenched in the woke stuff and exactly because that's the other thing the wokeness gives me gives you meaning on the other side but it's like this fabricated sense of meaning whereas if you adopt all of this ideology and this closed way of thinking then you can find meaning within it but the problem is it's not real and it doesn't correspond to reality so the the thing that you're getting your meaning out of is fake at what point is the abyss too deep we need less leisure time that's i i still say that 100 percent it could be illegal to sit home it should be because you are spending too much time leisurely no like you should plan your week and after you get done with work you should be planning out time after you're done with work and say i'm going to read for an hour tonight i'm going to do cooking for 30 minutes to an hour tonight i'm going to read my bible for this month i'm going to have meaningful conversation with my parents for an hour this like you are planning out your day segmenting it so you don't have a bunch of time where you're just sitting around oozing like a bag of milk on your couch like you need time that is scheduled and what do you give me that look it was interesting it wasn't an interesting analogy bag of milk that's like you have bags of milk in canada right yeah yeah i forget where is it at lunch when i was a kid anyway you understand what i'm saying you segment your life so that you don't have a bunch of time where you're just aimlessly not knowing what to do with your time you need to segment the things that you're doing that's what it's like to be an adult very true yeah amen i personally like i struggle with like having a lot of rigidity and scheduling and stuff but i don't know i also just have a thirst for like knowledge and stuff so that drives me to listen to jordan peterson and stuff like that when i have my free time yeah yeah i'm always listening to podcasts some people do better with calendars and scheduling stuff some people are not but yeah the principal you're talking about is definitely like don't yeah don't allow yourself this time to sit like you can you have no excuse you have access to like ivy league education i thought you'd want that these days but like for free you have the the world is open to you go on youtube and watch documentaries do like add some sort of valuable knowledge to yourself and like we were just we just did a uh dennis prager sat with uh amelia and did reactions to viral tick tocks right and uh you know as he was watching him there's like some you know some pretty innocuous stuff that's just funny light-hearted entertainment but he made a great point was like i don't have any like moral problem with this but if this is all you consume all day it's junk for your brain and it's gonna you know lead you to be a bored person because you have no appetite you've trained yourself to have an appetite for nothing but this and you have no appetite for stuff that has actually of substance also no personality or something that makes you interesting if you're watching the exact same things and looking at the exact same things and liking the exact same things as everyone else what sort of difference do you have from any other person right right well that's why the left says oh it's because you're black or gay or trans that's what they give you they make you exactly the same mentally but then they say oh you have these different intersectional benefits you don't want to be different than people because of your race you want to be different than people because of your ideas and interesting knowledge that you have acquired especially wisdom wisdom is even more important than your intelligence by far but you acquire wisdom through learning through education through trying new things through taking risks and through suffering that is how you require wisdom if you are too comfortable sitting at home on social media all day or not doing anything worthwhile with your life not suffering not putting yourself in risky situations then you're going to be a boring person who's just like everyone else who probably thinks that your skin color or gender orientation is the most interesting thing about you right uh i'm gonna cut this deep conversation for a minute to just talk about a super chat that we've got you always do this you always gotta keep us back on track uh walter verwalter sent us a super chat and said amla do you like lord of the rings movies i haven't seen them so i can't like them but taylor and will that should be illegal until she has finished his watching you know i'll work on it guys and then who's your favorite character obviously i can't answer that but will and taylor do you have favorite lord of the rings characters growing up let's uh we need to segment this out growing up my favorite was legolas just because he was the coolest and you know shooting all the arrows and stuff i mean it was awesome mm-hmm um nowadays uh probably probably aragon i guess air corn not aragon and taylor isn't that like aragon is like a dragon bug no but it's a hair gun no it's not yes it is ericorn son of arathorn anyways look i have intern tyler knows scottish knows you guys gotta come show your face real quick if you want to we cannot scott's a new guy good looking guy i don't know will's probably a little threatened right here too i am very thrilled anyway please don't be on our team yeah he's never allowed on the show again but no um yeah i would say aragorn just because he's like the probably the he's the guy that has to like embrace his destiny and you know he's the i don't know yeah he's the one to look at the best story yeah he's the one to look up to and say this is like my life gandalf is pretty awesome too though but he's like the old white sage yeah that's more like me you're you're more like frodo why are you guys getting bored of listening to this dude no they love it listen we did the lord of the rings thing i know and you guys loved it we loved it and the viewers all of you guys you guys loved the lord of the rings i know you did but the good news is you don't have to listen to a word that will taylor or i say because we're a propaganda machine and uh definitely you know who's that is gonna be clipped immediately yeah it is going to be clipped immediately but the reason i said some shell the breaker is a doctrination machine the reason i say that is because we got you know featured in an article out of catholicweekly.com surprisingly enough let's be honest we're featuring this article we really did but this is by mark shea the title of this article uh is ungarbling some baffle gab that's the name of the article i thought that was lord of the rings speaking yeah that sounds like uruk yeah language now he writes prayer university what did you just say i said that's a line from northern ireland which i would not utter here the language is that of mordor sorry keep going moving on um anyways the article starts off by saying pragerup if you keep quoting lord there are a few who can sorry some sort of vote anyways guys this is gonna be my last stream for prageru i actually quit i'm going to go work for the daily wire you can go work for catholic right work for catholic weekly the article starts out prager university is a fake it is no more university than the discredited grift that was trump university now let's go ahead and address this because prager university has never and will never claim to be an actual university institution no well i don't know if we'll never but we don't know i think it's so funny that people are their first pushback on us is that you're not a real university never have we claimed to be an actual university but we teach you more than a university that's the idea well they call it they say worst draw manning their whole argument yeah it's a straw man that's why you start you're not an actual university so yeah well this is built to straws anyways now he tells us what prageru actually is he says it is in fact a propaganda outlet that releases little videos that are a fool's idea of wisdom a stupid person's idea of intelligence and a con artist victim's idea of trustworthiness little videos our videos aren't little they're not about the size of the videos it's how you use the videos okay they're being seen by millions of people billions billions of people over five billion people yeah have seen millions and billions and billions it's very tremendous anyway so the one tweet that he really was was struck by he was really angered was a tweet that we put out saying since the left is so much more interested in fixing society than in fixing the individual politics inevitably inevitably becomes the vehicle for societal improvement i stand by this tweet makes complete sense to me use best tweet it might just be and mark shea doesn't really like it but we as conservatives always say that the real change happens on the basis of the individual and we can change individuals in our day-to-day it makes no sense to try and be this transformative movement that goes in alter society and that is what the left runs on now mark took this really really the wrong way and said that there we don't believe in the state having any part in what what individuals do and we don't believe that the state has any role in legislating morality here in the united states oh i do so do all about this exactly no hot takes will just normal takes i i can't do that i only have hot dogs hot what's your hot take on legislating morality well i think that it can be done murder i mean you're legislating you're telling people they can't murder that's morality right right it's immoral to murder someone you are legislating morality i mean we do that's not a bad thing we do that everywhere we do that in our schools we do that in our communities we do it on a state level we do it on a federal level we do legislate what is right and wrong and what actions are right and wrong for you to do as an individual so for somebody to read that tweet and think that we have the idea that the state has no part in in legislating morality like we're some sort of anarchist i don't know libertarian i don't know i don't know how you read that and get in fact you called me a libertarian that's the worst part of this the most offensive thing you could have ever called me not antifa not a leftist not a fascist a libertarian you better not call me that that's all i'm sorry to all the libertarians that watch this show because i'm sure there are quite a few that's okay but no and it's funny funny enough we actually put out an a video today for our five minute video called few penalties more crime and it is in fact about legislating morality and legislating what can and cannot constitute a crime here in america so i'll play a little bit of that for you the role of the prosecutor is to pursue justice this primarily means enforcing the laws passed by the representatives of the people enforcement protects citizens from future crime but also offers some measure of satisfaction to the victims of crime this is the basis of civil society but over the last several years a growing number of american cities have elected prosecutors who are de-emphasizing enforcement this is by design these prosecutors openly vow to reform the criminal justice system by means of selective prosecution so there you go catholic weekly you're wrong there should have been a black police officer in the cartoon yeah i know i'm offended that's very i'm actually more offended because of my skin color i'm sorry i'm sorry but yeah i just think it's a ridiculous argument that as conservatives we don't believe that you can legislate morality because clearly we do we are the the group of law and order we believe that uh crimes are crimes and they should be have just punishment yes a moral thing should be illegal like i think that parents making their child transition is should be illegal that's your hot take that's my hot take it's not a lot of but it should be illegal yeah and a child yeah yeah i don't think it's a parent because then people talk about like oh these are you can't legislate morality when it's like a victimless crime but that is that crime does have a victim i mean it's the child being pushed into it so yes you should be able to make that illegal if you haven't seen our podcast where we watch the 60-minute segment where they talk to children who have de-transitioned after undergoing sex reassignment hormone blockers hormone therapy go and watch that because it is it is horrible and it does point to the fact that doing that with your child is a crime and it should be treated as such yes anyways uh we love watching people get owned we love owning people i don't know what you watching we are going to watch that on cnn because brian stelter brought a guest michael wolf on to his show and i don't think he was anticipating what michael wolff was going to say to him and we're going to play that for you today because we got a kick out of it and we hope you do too you know and that's what trump does these he has spent most of his administration seeing people on television and immediately calling them but maybe that's how it works sometimes i want you to think is that how it works that's how you got it yeah but i don't yeah but i don't want you to think that that that what i said at that point was in any way inauthentic i think the media has done a terrible job on this i think you yourself um you know why you're a nice guy you know you're full of sanctimony um you know you become part of one of the parts of the problem of the media you know you come on here and you and you have a um you know a monopoly on truth you know you know exactly how things are supposed to be done um you know you are why one of the reasons people can't stand the media sorry you're cracking me up it's your fault it's my so what should i do differently michael you know don't talk so much listen more you know people have genuine problems with it with with the media the media doesn't get the story right the media exists in its own bubble um that's true i agree you uh um you know you gotta stop i mean that last segment that that that i just had to listen to of all of the people saying the same old stuff also you're incredibly repetitive it's week after week i mean you're the flip side of of of of donald trump um you know fake news and you say virtuous news you know i they're they're not we just figure out what is real i mean yeah well well figuring out yeah figuring out what is real is not so is not so uh it's not so easy and and you know most people don't want to turn to brian stelter to tell us what's real i'm sorry well then why'd you bother coming on cnn a few times this week you know i'm uh i'm a book salesman michael i love talking to you i'm grateful you came on and i guess let's do it again in four years thanks that's hilarious i love that i really love talking to you like holding back tears like oh you could tell he was not anticipating that whatsoever on this interview it was so awkward man you see people you see why would you just sit there and like let this guy rip on you and then you have all that time to think of a comeback and he just was like hey just like what's it what should i do yeah it's like i would have roasted the guy back oh yeah you don't let him finish the argument yeah interject me like no dude like get your bald head out of here man i like how he asked him what are you doing on this show and he actually has to genuinely contemplate why he's on cnn i know i'm just trying to stop to be fair well that's what's funny is that like cnn like brian probably coming to them afterwards like you guys got to defend me you can't let these people get on he's like that's the most amount of ratings you've had in a long time brian i think we're going to keep more people on it just come and say horrible things about you and you know he makes a good point though that the media talks so much and rarely are they talking about anything that's true or anything that is not uh simply their opinion and that's what happens when people are pushing an agenda they take a story they morph it into what they want to say and then they talk and they give you these repetitive talking points as he says you are super repetitive all you do is say the same thing over again rather than looking at a news story letting the people who are actually involved speak and letting the american people come to their own conclusion on it i feel bad for him as an individual in that segment oh do you but not as a network right i'm glad cnn is going down but i feel bad for him as an individual in that segment i don't feel bad for him anybody who can get the chance to get on cnn and expose them for what they're actually doing and call them out and say this is what you're doing wrong as somebody who's supposed to be a representative of truth and journalism here in this country by all means get on there and do it no i understand i would embarrass them i just you know it's so sad it's so sad what's sad is the state of our media i know so i know that's what makes sense you guys i'm the hard one and now you're the one no it's like you said like people like of not everyone who watches cnn is a hyper woke person but when a lot of people just innocently tune in they're too scared to watch fox or they're too scared to go anywhere else so they they just mindlessly tune in and then you end up getting one narrative and one message and it's super repetitive and it's the same old stuff and it's spin and it's not and he said people go go and turn on the tv to find out what's happening in the world and like that's what's messed up about the state of our media is uh they have a mandate to tell people the truth arm people with facts is technically what their role is in a free society but instead it's push narrative on people and try to brainwash them to your uh elitist leftist worldview and to try to make that get more infiltrated in society and it's like it's the same thing with again you know mattel or hasbro is doing it with the kids toys the crt and like this is just the same thing for adults it's brainwashing everywhere right it's like it's no longer oh let me turn on the news so i can find out what's happening in the world it's let me turn on the news so i can get the left's take on what's happening in the world and their idea of what's happening in the world that's how we should fix it and what's dishonest about it though is like they're they're not saying here's the left's take here they're saying here is reality as you should understand it and if you're coming into that industry the other side's doing the same i mean it's not like it's not like i don't find anything wrong with bias in media i think if you're honest about it yeah yeah right that's like everyone kind of knows like especially exactly you know like if you're saying that like oh we're we're a pro you know democrat organization or we're obviously on the right and you lean into that and you're like okay that's good but when you make it transparent or don't make it transparent and say oh we're totally unbiased news and then you're obviously on the left then yeah there's something wrong with it i have no problem but there's also something to be said though for like journal baseline journalistic integrity and i feel like that's at a lower point than ever and it's definitely gotten way worse in the last like five years five you know well yeah five or so years than at any time before like i was talking to my brother the other day and like i used to listen to npr on my drive to work and stuff because you might just learn something interesting about some random thing like i don't know mongolian beekeepers a breed of squirrel in texas or something and what unique stuff they do and now it's like they somehow figure out how to relate the squirrels to racist how how is how white people driving past the squirrels more quickly racist you know they just figure out so they'll bring on people about to talk about like music or something then they're like so how is your music racist it's like the state of journalism has gone down a lot and it's a very sad thing to see and we should at least be able to articulate that like you know there is a there is a an ideal to stray from and like back in the day people could actually trust walter cronkite and stuff because uh there was a measure of agreed upon hey we're all gonna we need to occupy the same reality so we can have uh intelligent conversations about things and there's sort of this mutual understanding that like okay we're at least gonna you know be honest and play by the the same rules of saying true things and citing facts and not skewing everything they take stories now and they sift out whatever is going to help them and further their agenda and then they sell that to you as if that's the truth and they throw out everything that they that didn't support their agenda and it's very very sad which is why i can't i don't like it i don't unfortunately we have a show on the air right now willow namla live well we are you know listen let me tell you if we can be honest and not biased at all we are not biased at all okay we
