0:36
But the daily cancellation today, I
0:38
must sadly cancel many
0:40
of you in the audience for your involvement.
0:43
in a totally disgraceful and
0:45
disappointing display over the weekend. It
0:47
all began when rumors started circulating
0:49
online that
0:50
president Biden tragically pooped his
0:52
pants. while visiting with the pope
0:54
in Rome. Amy Turkanian, a
0:56
political strategist and pendant, was one
0:58
of the first to make this iris allegation tweeting,
1:01
quote, The word around Rome is that Biden's
1:03
meeting with the pope was unusually long because
1:05
Biden had a bit of a bathroom accident at
1:07
the Vatican and it had to be addressed prior to him
1:09
leaving. I know we joke often about this,
1:11
but this is the actual rumor going around Rome
1:13
now. Next thing you know.
1:16
Hashtags like hashtag poopgate
1:18
and hashtag poopypants Biden. and
1:20
the more direct hashtag Biden his
1:22
pants were trending nationwide on Twitter.
1:25
Other sources were, you know, chiming in
1:27
all claiming that, yes, Joe Biden did indeed drop
1:30
a steamy load in his pants right in front of
1:32
pope Francis. And then millions
1:34
of other people, with no special knowledge
1:36
about the situation, people with no specific insight into
1:38
Joe Biden's defecation habits at all, frankly.
1:41
Still, we're posting about the subject, spreading
1:43
this insidious rumor. And
1:45
to once again clarify, by
1:47
insidious rumor, I am referring to the claim that
1:49
Joe Biden proved himself at the Vatican. That's the
1:51
rumor. And Personally,
1:53
I'm outraged and disgusted by all
1:55
this. It is the absolute height
1:58
of your responsibility to spread rumors of this
1:59
sort. There
2:01
is no legitimate reason to call attention
2:03
to the issue of Joe Biden fitting himself.
2:06
No reason. Now,
2:08
someone has to be the mature one in this situation.
2:10
And as usual, that job has fallen to me, which
2:12
is why I am not talking about the subject
2:14
of Joe Biden's spoiling himself. I
2:17
would never talk about something so crass and
2:19
objectionable and unsubstantiated. We
2:21
don't even know if Joe Biden really did poop
2:23
his pants. There are some people saying he poop his pants.
2:25
others saying that he didn't poop his pants? Still
2:28
there are others saying that we have no idea what Joe
2:30
Biden did or didn't do in his pants
2:33
in the face of this uncertainty. The
2:36
dignified and honest thing is to say nothing
2:38
at all. I am therefore
2:40
begging all of you to not talk about
2:42
this. And if you didn't know
2:44
about it until you just heard about it right now,
2:47
don't talk about it. It's not
2:49
the kind of thing we should be discussing. which is why I
2:51
have personally chosen to do my part by not
2:53
calling attention to it at all. It's better if the
2:55
public never even hears about this rumor.
2:57
The rumor that Joe Biden, president United States, who can
2:59
sell. So please, once again, just
3:02
don't talk about it. In fact, shortly before
3:04
we went on air, I noticed another
3:06
hashtag associated with the Poopy pants predicament
3:08
A large number of social media users have apparently
3:10
caused the hashtag Shark Week
3:13
to Trent. This is not only potential
3:15
misinformation, but it also makes light of the trauma
3:17
suffered by actual shark attack victims
3:20
and actual shark attack victims. That's
3:23
why I would never extend this pun by saying that
3:25
the Vatican became something of a shark tank
3:27
when Biden arrived. That's a
3:29
joke I'm not gonna make. There are
3:31
many other presidential poop jokes that
3:33
I will not make. and
3:35
would be very angry to hear anyone make. For example,
3:38
I'm not gonna say that through his eight years
3:40
as vice president Biden apparently got accustomed
3:42
to being the number two guy in the White House, I'm not gonna
3:44
say not gonna say that Biden flew back from Rome and
3:46
Air Force two. I'm not gonna say
3:48
that involuntary defecation must
3:50
be a hereditary problem for Biden since it
3:52
runs in his genes. These
3:55
would be vulgar and unfunny And
3:57
I'm not gonna make them or any other
3:59
because there's nothing funny about a
4:01
turd. especially
4:04
occurred in the pants of the president.
4:06
Allegedly.
4:09
Now, all
4:09
we know for sure, The only
4:11
thing we should be saying about Biden's visit
4:13
with the pope is that he went there in
4:15
his official capacity as a president of the United
4:17
States and he did his duty. That's
4:20
it. Outside
4:21
of that, our responsibility is to comport
4:23
ourselves with maturity and dignity and
4:25
respect the office of the presidency. and
4:27
we should still respect the office even
4:29
if that man in that office happens
4:31
to have evacuated his bowels right into
4:33
his underwear. I don't care if
4:35
Biden did have a literal holy
4:37
moment in front of the pope. That doesn't change
4:39
anything except his diaper.
4:42
As for the rest of us, we have to be adults
4:44
about this. And the fact is
4:46
that many of you have failed in that regard.
4:48
You have used Biden's poofilled pants
4:50
as a forum for jokes and mockery
4:53
rather than gazing upon them in
4:55
solemn silence as is your duty
4:57
and his apparently allegedly.
4:59
Does it make sense that the same company
5:01
who controls half of online retail
5:03
also passively eavesdrops on your
5:05
private conversations at home? Big Tech is
5:07
more powerful than most countries and
5:09
they profit by exploiting your
5:11
personal data. It's trying to put a layer of protection
5:13
between your online activity and Big Tech,
5:15
and that's why I use Express VPN.
5:17
Think about how much of your life is on the
5:19
Internet. Sadly, every site you visit, video you
5:21
watch, messages said, gets tracked and
5:23
data mined, but when you run express VPN
5:25
on your device, the software hides your
5:27
IP address something Big Tech can use to
5:29
personally identify you. So especially, again,
5:31
makes your activity harder to trace and
5:33
harder to sell the advertisers, therefore, ExpressVPN
5:36
also encrypts one hundred percent of your
5:38
internet data to keep you safe from hackers
5:40
and eavesdroppers that are on your network.
5:42
What I like most of what you expressVPN is how
5:44
easy it is to use You can download
5:46
the app on your phone or computer, tap
5:48
one button, and that's it. You're protected.
5:50
And ExpressVPN does all this without showing
5:52
or slowing down your connection. That's why rated
5:54
the number one VPN service by TechRadar,
5:57
the Virgin, countless others. So
5:59
stop handing all of your personal data over
6:01
to the big tech monopoly who mines your activity
6:04
and sells your information. Protect
6:06
yourself with the VPN that I trust to keep
6:08
me safe online. Visit expressvpn dot

6:18
In a stunning display of courage,
6:21
a white British TikTok influencer
6:23
has revealed to the world that he identifies as
6:25
Korean. Ollie London is his name. He's been
6:27
getting plastic surgery for several years.
6:29
In
6:30
an effort to, as a newsweek article, puts
6:32
it,
6:32
resemble their k pop idol Jimin
6:35
of BTS. I have only
6:37
a vague idea of what any of those words mean,
6:39
but the upshot is that now London, who
6:41
also identifies as non binary, has
6:43
completed his surgical transition and is ready to
6:45
fully live his life as the gender fluid
6:47
Korean that he's always been deep down.
6:49
For too long, he has had a Korean trapped
6:51
inside his body. And now A
6:53
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of assistance from
6:55
cosmetic surgeons, his true
6:57
east Asian self has emerged like
7:00
a bruised and swollen butterfly from
7:02
a fleshy cocoon. In a
7:04
video recorded just after his latest procedure,
7:07
Ollie explains that his surgically adjusted
7:09
eyes and nose and other features now
7:12
confirm confirm
7:14
him as a tried and true Korean.
7:17
And I think the case that he makes is
7:19
pretty bulletproof. Let's
7:20
listen.
7:21
I'm Yangasil, Janoon,
7:24
Jimin, Imida.
7:25
Hey, guys. I'm finally Korean.
7:27
I've transitioned I'm
7:29
so so happy. I've completed my look.
7:31
I'm finally Korean guys. I have the eyes.
7:33
I just had a brow lift as well.
7:36
So I'm so happy. Finally, I've
7:38
been trapped in the wrong body for eight years.
7:41
And that's the worst feeling in the world when
7:43
you're trapped. and you don't feel like
7:45
you can be yourself. But finally, I'm Korean,
7:47
I can be myself, and
7:49
I'm so so happy. Me, he
7:52
looks happy. Finally,
7:54
he is Korean. It's as simple as that.
7:57
Bigots might voice disagreement, insisting
7:59
that one must actually be from Korea
8:01
or at least have Korean citizenship in
8:03
order to be considered in any sense Korean.
8:06
They might even argue that surgically narrowing
8:08
your eyes to resemble Asian facial
8:10
features, not only fails to make you Asian, but
8:12
is also highly insulting and degrading
8:14
to the real agents of which you are not one.
8:16
But Ollie definitely counter these arguments in
8:18
a series of tweets disarming and
8:21
debunking such discriminatory talking
8:23
points. He wrote, quote, being transsexual
8:25
is the same as being trans racial
8:27
because you're born in the wrong body. And
8:30
other tweets he announced that, quote, trans
8:32
rights are human rights, And that quote,
8:34
there are millions of underrepresented transracial
8:36
people in the world, and I want to elevate their
8:38
voices and help them live their truth and
8:40
be themselves. Now
8:42
these may be more assertions and arguments,
8:45
more spitting slogans than making a
8:47
case, but if if that's been
8:49
sufficient for transgender advocates, then
8:51
why shouldn't it work FOR A TRANS RACIAL PIONEER.
8:54
DRIVING THE POINT HOME, OLLY, I THINK REALLY
8:56
VANQUISHED HIS CRITICS, ONCE AND FOR
8:58
ALL, by dropping the ultimate
9:00
progressive Trump card in a different
9:02
video. Listen. This is
9:04
my reason for sharing the flag, and I do
9:07
identifies Korean. This is my choice. This is
9:09
my decision. It's not hiding
9:11
anyone.
9:13
There you go. his
9:14
decision, his choice not hurting
9:17
anyone. That's
9:18
really it. Right? In the
9:19
age of psychological men when
9:21
all that matters is an individual's mental
9:24
States and all that you must do to justify an
9:26
action is claim that the action makes you
9:28
feel good and causes no direct physical harm
9:30
to anyone else, whether or not the latter is
9:32
actually true. The validity of a white
9:34
man's trans transformation in that
9:36
context into a genderless Korean
9:38
cannot be denied. Certainly,
9:40
if you accept trans ideology, then you
9:42
have absolutely no
9:44
logical basis for denying Ollie's
9:46
truth. a
9:47
truth which is grounded in the exact
9:49
same premise, a
9:50
truth which must indeed be
9:53
true if
9:53
the premise is true. And the premise
9:56
to remind you is that
9:57
a person's physical biological
9:59
identity
9:59
is totally determined by
10:02
how they feel about themselves.
10:04
A man
10:05
who feels like a woman is not merely a feminine
10:07
man, but is actually a literal
10:10
woman. All
10:10
of the physical barriers which have for
10:13
millennia served to separate men
10:15
from women are dissolved and discarded.
10:17
Biology is subordinated to the
10:19
emotional whims of the individual. Why
10:21
should Ollie's emotional whims not
10:23
be afforded the same supernatural weight?
10:26
His case, based
10:29
on the logic of progressivism is
10:32
airtight. Based
10:34
on the logic of Well,
10:36
logic. It's not at all, but based on the
10:38
logic of progressivism, it is.
10:40
And yet the left has not accepted
10:42
him. Comments on the Internet about his
10:44
racial transition have been overwhelmingly
10:47
negative. The Daily Wire documents a few
10:49
of them reading out says, I'm sorry, but you
10:51
can't just choose to be Korean. It's
10:53
a nationality and ethnicity. Tweeted
10:55
one trans identifying account. You
10:57
have to be born Korean. Just
10:59
because you like the culture doesn't mean you could take
11:01
it and become it, there is
11:04
a way to appreciate a different culture.
11:06
This is not it. quote,
11:08
as a Korean non binary person, I
11:10
haven't really talked about the Ollie London thing, but
11:12
the fact that they're acting like it's genuine, that
11:14
it's part of a journey, due to an
11:16
identity issue really irks me.
11:18
It's a mockery of trans people.
11:20
It's cultural appropriation, posted to
11:22
another person. Finally, one Korean user
11:24
replied that while he celebrated London's
11:27
new gender identity, it's wrong for him to claim
11:29
a new ethnic identity. Korean
11:32
isn't a pronoun, nor is it a persona
11:34
you decide to suddenly take on because of
11:36
k pop hype. I'm glad you
11:38
identify as non binary applause you for
11:40
being transparent about that, but I
11:42
can't commend you for taking a whole
11:44
ethnicity and treating it like a
11:46
persona.
11:49
taking a whole ethnicity and treating it like a
11:51
persona. Almost
11:53
like when someone takes a
11:55
biological sex and treats us, I I don't know.
11:57
An article in the left wing papermag
11:59
written by Sandra Song, editor in
12:01
large, and a fellow Korean, is
12:03
just one long transphobic harang
12:06
against the entire transracial community.
12:08
Song writes quote, as
12:10
someone who actually has Korean DNA
12:12
though, I can say that some
12:14
white fetishist as proven
12:16
by those fifteen surgeries to look
12:18
look like Jamin, suddenly
12:20
deeming themselves Korean is
12:22
incredibly offensive especially since it effectively
12:24
trivializes our identities because they're
12:26
suddenly trendy. Apparently though, that
12:28
doesn't really register for Ollie who's
12:30
continually been a notable example of
12:32
Western feticization that's
12:34
objectified us based on South Korea's
12:36
recent contributions to global culture.
12:38
So yeah, obviously, it's
12:40
pretty suss that a white person
12:42
is is saying their Korean. Now
12:45
leaving aside the embarrassing fact that the
12:47
magazine's editor at large wrote and published
12:49
the words so yeah and pretty
12:51
sucks. The real
12:52
problem is that she would accuse a person
12:54
of fetishizing and trivializing
12:56
her identity simply because he
12:58
has cartoonishly mimicking her appearance and
13:00
claiming that his degraded mockery is
13:02
as authentic as her own identity. I
13:04
mean, she's essentially arguing that
13:06
his imitation is
13:09
an invitation and thus
13:11
cannot be as valid or real as the thing
13:13
he is imitating. And her
13:15
points make a lot of sense Come
13:17
to
13:17
think of it. But unfortunately, she,
13:20
like nearly everyone else in her ideological
13:22
camp, has already thrown open the
13:24
doors and invited men
13:26
to fetishize and trivialize
13:29
and mimic her identity. It's
13:31
just that she wishes the mimicry
13:33
would stay contained to her sex, not
13:35
her ethnicity. The problem
13:38
though is that sex is
13:40
far more objective and
13:42
far less fluid than ethnicity.
13:45
If the former can be erased,
13:47
then soak in
13:47
the letter. Ali
13:49
London knows that. And now
13:51
he's entitled to be seen as
13:54
fully Korean, just as Korean as any other
13:56
Korean. Indeed, he may be
13:58
even more Korean than SIS Koreans,
14:00
like
14:00
Sandra Song. I mean, you
14:02
can make that argument. This
14:04
at least was a choice
14:07
that he has made. Bravely.
14:10
If cis Koreans don't wanna tolerate or
14:12
accept trans Koreans, That's their
14:14
problem and their bigotry they have to work
14:16
through. It'd be better for them to just
14:18
remain silent in the meantime while the march
14:20
of progress continues
