All right, so I watched some of your bangers.
Okay.
What's your favorite one?
A lot of your thing is you just debate gay people.
I mean, I did one recently.
I did one recently where I debated 25 gay guys.
No, you did Transgenderism, Knowles vs. Protesters, that's got 2.4 million.
Oh, people will come up at my events.
Story of deep transitioning, 1.4 million.
I was gay, she was trans, 1.1 million.
Conservative vs. trans.
But you know why they started coming after me.
No longer gay, not dating trans, bigoted, man is confused by why people think
he's a man,
heated debate, LGBT, so you just, so you argue with gay people.
No.
All the time.
Their job?
They argue with me.
You could have gone to finance.
You went to Yale.
I could have gone to McKinsey or something.
Doesn't this feel like a little bit like...
No, you know why they came up and argued with me.
Why?
Because I gave a speech class.
Because you said that they should be eradicated.
That is why.
I didn't say they should be eradicated.
I said the ideology...
You know what you're doing.
I am being clear with my language.
You're not being clear with your language.
I was being clear.
You know what you're doing.
Your audience is illiterate.
I'm explaining to you the precision of my language.
My audience...
These people have mostly PhDs in gender studies.
You just said...
Oh, fair enough.
All right, that's reconciling.
Listen, we're just...
We're both straight guys, right?
Yes.
We're both men's men.
The alpha men.
Yeah.
I don't know what it's like to be a gay guy.
Yeah.
What am I going to tell them what it's like to be a gay guy?
It's probably tough.
Yeah.
Well, you would tell...
At least...
Look.
Again...
What is the objective, right?
So, like, I watched the 20 gay guys versus you...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That sounds worse the way you just told that.
Okay.
It sounds worse.
It's a ridiculous concept, right?
Is it?
By the way, we pitched one and they said yes and then they said no.
Right, Caleb?
What was the topic?
The pitch was that bodybuilding is destructive to American culture.
So, I wanted it to be 20 bodybuilders against one wimp.
And I was going to be like, this leads to toxic masculinity.
It leads to Andrew Tate.
It's gay to have fashion muscles.
Why would they reject that?
That's a great episode.
Because I think they realized I was taking the piss.
Bizarre video shows male cheerleader for Minnesota Vikings.
Huh?
What?
Wait, what was that one?
Who cares?
That was one of mine?
Yeah, you got 82K.
That's not a big video.
That's a minor.
That's a very minor video.
But do you have a big ol' thing?
What?
Here's the thing, right?
I know why you're doing it, right?
Doing what?
What's the objective if you're debating LGBT person?
What's the objective for that debate?
Do you want to convince them not to?
Well, they usually come to me with these things.
And so I guess they're upset that I think we should get rid of transgenderism.
So I guess the objective is to persuade...
What is transgenderism?
Is it that transgender people or is it...
No.
It's the belief that a man can be a woman.
That's the ideology.
And who came up with that?
Who's the author of that?
There's a bunch of deviants and ideologues.
Like where'd it come from?
Well, it often is traced back to Magnus Hirschfeld in the 20th century.
Who cares?
Okay, yeah, yeah.
But, you know, it's an ideology that has cropped up at various times throughout
history.
It's kind of Gnostic.
It would go back to some of the ancient Gnostics to suggest that your true
identity has nothing
to do with your body.
Yeah, but those people didn't have toilet paper.
Who cares, dude?
Yeah, I guess that's true.
They had good aqueducts, though, you know.
I don't know.
But don't you want to be a nice guy?
Don't you want to be nice?
No, I don't care about being nice.
Why?
I want to be a good guy.
I want to be, you know, courteous.
It's a little nosy.
It's a little bit nosy.
It's not nosy.
They demand that I lie.
And I'm not going to lie because that's a mortal sin.
You post in the vid, bro.
But they're the ones who want the debate.
And they're the ones who made it a political issue.
It's your vid, though.
Yeah, I'm reacting to it, of course.
You're doing numbers with it, right?
I am doing numbers with it.
And the other thing is this.
Like, be honest, right?
Because people agree with me.
Be honest.
Like, in terms of the culture war aspect of it, the libs walk in on that every
single time.
Every time.
Yeah.
Well, now I think it's changing.
I think they lost.
I think they got destroyed on that issue.
And they're starting to give it up.
Because it's ridiculous.
They're starting to give it up?
Yeah, yeah.
What I'm seeing from your side is this all day long.
Yeah.
Okay?
Well, but we didn't start it.
It was the left that pushed this in the elementary schools and in the sports
lanes.
This is what I'm saying, seeing you guys highlighting.
Yeah, because they forced it on us and we reacted to it.
And it doesn't seem to me like a big deal.
Right?
If it's not a big deal, then why doesn't the left just give it up?
It's not a big deal.
Let them give it up.
Give up like what?
Give up transgenderism.
Stop putting boys in the girls' bathroom.
Stop taking over the sports leagues.
Stop castrating the little kids.
Give it up.
It's not a big deal.
Good.
No, I'm just saying it's not a big deal.
Like for your guys' agenda, right?
I'm not hearing anything about-
What's my agenda?
Okay.
Conservative politics, right?
My agenda is the truth in public life.
I'm not hearing anything about-
I'm barely hearing anything about the budget deficit.
I'm barely hearing anything about insolvency.
I don't know.
Castrating little kids is more important than like the budget deficit.
You think that if Social Security is insolvent, that's less of an important
issue?
I think-
I'm saying that's your guys' issue.
I think committed-
Well, yeah, I mean-
But I'm not hearing shit about that.
No, you-
I'm hearing about babies' penises.
Yeah, I-
Well, we're not-
They're not castrating babies.
You guys talk about kids' penises all day long.
Yeah, I think if-
It's a little bit perverse to me.
Well, we're not the ones who started it, okay?
And this is what the libs do.
They say, "Hey, we're going to chop up little kids.
We're going to teach them a bunch of weird sex stuff in kindergarten.
And if you object, you're the weird one.
Why are you talking about this?
Because you're doing it.
It's weird, man."
Is it happening?
Yeah.
Is it happening all the time?
All over the country.
Well, now it's since there-
All the kids are getting their penises chopped.
Not all the kids.
How many kids are getting their penises chopped?
And-
How many guys-
Any number larger than zero is a problem.
How many trans people are playing sports?
It's like five people.
Yeah, no, it's more.
There was a study-
You don't think it's-
A study just came out of the UN.
It was something like 700 awards and medals were taken away from women because
of the trans
guys in the sports leagues.
700 medals?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a lot.
You don't think that-
Your guys thing is social security becoming insolvent.
That's not my-
Why are you saying that's my thing?
Conservative politics.
I don't talk about social security all around.
Right, but I'm saying that entitlement reform is your guys thing.
Are you like a bloomer con?
Is this 2008 now?
We're talking about social security-
I'm just saying that this is like baby penis gets clicked.
Baby penis does numbers.
Do you-
Just admit.
That's why you're debating-
I am not admitting that.
No.
Baby penis does more numbers than like social security will go bankrupt.
Which used to be your thing.
Pointing out visceral injustices against the most vulnerable and innocent
people.
Yes, it arouses more passion than like budgetary measures.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah.
But it should.
That's just human nature.
But like why do you want to be the boss of that?
Well, because it's an injustice that we need to correct in a self-government.
That's what politics-
I've met trans people, right?
And they've expressed to me that it's like it must suck if you think that you're
not in
the right body, right?
Yeah, we should help them.
I don't fucking understand, right?
So how do you-
What don't you understand?
What it's like to feel that way.
Yeah, I'm sure it involves a lot of pain.
So are you going to affirm them in that painful delusion that makes them more
miserable,
or are you going to try to help them by telling them the truth?
I don't want to make the rules for someone that I don't understand.
No, you live in a self-government in America, and so you're supposed to weigh
in on it.
That's what voting means.
So you're saying the rules should be what?
The rules should be that we acknowledge reality, that men and women are
different.
If you have kids, right?
Yeah.
If your kid was like, "I'm gay," what would you tell him?
I would say, well, you know, I'm pretty and witty and gay, too.
You know, I'm very happy, but-
No, no, no.
You're doing the thing.
I've heard you just say that in other things.
Because you did theater.
I did the stuff.
You also were in gay movies.
I played-
You played gay guys.
And now you think that-
I played a couple gay characters.
Well, bisexual characters.
I did.
What does that mean?
Bisexual is even gayer than gay.
What the fuck is bisexual?
I want you to know, that gay character I played in the Yale movie, that is the
straightest
thing that ever came out of Yale.
You played gay characters and now you say that it's a social contagion.
Bro, I played Satan in a play once.
I'm not like, you know, I go to church to-
And so the story was that you being gay with another guy was a social contagion?
No, your character was gay.
Yeah, but again-
Is that why you're doing this?
Because you're embarrassed about the gay movie?
No, in acting.
And listen, I'm a very old school thespian.
Same, same.
Oh, yes.
And so in the old days, it used to be when you-
Men were playing women.
They were, that's true.
Yeah, yeah.
Or boys were.
And in the old days, when you played a role, you would pretend to be someone
that you were
not.
Like, for instance, I'm not the Prince of Denmark.
But if I were to be in a Shakespeare play, I would pretend.
You went to some sort of freaking, I had to access some sort of molestation
that never
happened in order to access this notion?
No, no, no.
Not that stuff.
I never got into that.
Where did you study theater?
I studied at the Stella Adler School, right around the corner.
And what's her theory?
Well, it comes from the Stanislavski system at the Moscow Art Theater.
Which is, you neg the target.
Yeah.
No, it's that you use your imagination, basically.
I saw something actually pretty interesting, kind of related to the gay debate
that you were
in.
And I wanted to know if you.
The debate.
Yeah.
I wanted to know if you'd seen this.
No, because this is like an interesting take that I saw on homosexuality.
Yeah.
And I know you do a lot of reactions to like videos in the lot.
Now we can react to the reaction.
So I'd like you to, I'd like you to tell me what you think about this.
Okay, let's see.
Okay.
They do is good and no leaking.
A man's in-
No, no, no, no.
This is a remix.
This is a remix.
Wait, wait, wait.
You have to see this.
No, this is interesting.
This is a pastor from Uganda.
Okay.
And he took, yeah.
I think I-
So this is-
And Muslim.
But this is actually like, I hadn't heard this before.
In Ugandan capital of Kampala, Pastor Martin Senpa is rallying-
Barack Obama back off.
It's great.
...to an anti-homosexuality bill that has drawn the ire of the international
community.
Hmm.
Including the very American evangelicals some believe inspired the legislation.
Good morning, everyone.
My name is Pastor Dr. Martin Senpa.
I'm here in the capacity as the chairman of the National Task Force Against Homosexuality
in Uganda.
At the press conference, Pastor Senpa was flanked by religious leaders, both
Christian and Muslim.
It's interesting.
...shown unity seldom seen in Uganda.
Barack Obama back.
Oh, because-
...to make sure that Sodome and homosexuality never sees the light of legality
in this land of the pearl of Africa.
In a room packed with local and international-
I'll just show you the good part.
Yeah, hold on.
That's less saucy then.
...and graphic.
...I've taken time to do a little research, to know what homosexuals do-
So he watched gay porn.
One of the things they do is called enolicking, where a man's enos is licked,
like this, by the other person.
Like ice cream.
Like ice cream.
And then what happens, even poo-poo comes out.
The other poo-poo's out, huh?
And then they eat the poo-poo.
The other one they do is they have a sex practice called fisting, where they
insert their hand into the other man's hand.
And it goes-
Do they do that?
...into the enos all the way.
And it is so painful, they have to take drugs, but they enjoy it.
Now, if we have any children, please step out.
This is a parental guidance moment.
Hey, that child can't be moved up.
It was a little late.
So, I've done research.
This is what they do.
No, hold on.
What is it?
Is it going to show-
It's blurred out.
...having exactly the other person's rectum.
And the other person is poo-pooing.
And this one is eating the poo-poo all over the place.
Huh?
Tell me, when you have a law against homosexuality, do you say accept eating
the poo-poo?
Okay.
Yeah.
No, he makes a good point.
So, apparently, they lick the other man's rectum like ice cream and the poo-poo
come out.
Yeah, yeah.
You could have mentioned that during your debate against 20 gay guys, I thought.
I don't think that ever came up with it.
I didn't prepare enough is the problem.
And sometimes they do anal fisting where he put the arm into-
It's very painful, but they like it anyway.
Yeah, and they must take drugs.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's news to me.
So, do you feel as if Pastor Sesempa is a comrade or kind of like a-
Him?
Especially, actually.
Yeah.
I mean, he's really done the work on this.
Yeah.
No, for me, I was just looking up like, you know, philosophy and anthropology,
but he-
The philosophy of gay sex?
Yeah.
Well, I think this guy did the work and he saw the poo-poo coming out.
He did.
And I think he actually has a more first-hand kind of-
We might need more immigration from that area because that is a job that the
Americans don't
want to do.
