0:00 this is on Dante's life a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into
0:15 it. All right, guys, before we get into today's episode, I wanted to talk about the episode
0:19 from a couple of weeks ago. So I did an episode number 85 on the poem if by Rudyard Kipling.
0:25 And so I got a really interesting message from one of our listeners. And I just wanted
0:29 to share that with you. It's really quick. This is from a listener named Brian Austin.
0:32 So this was a message that he sent me. Another great episode. Listen to half of it with
0:37 my dad. He was tearing up as Dennis Hopper read it. He read me that poem when I was 14,
0:42 I think, and he gave me a framed copy of it at my high school graduation. Just read both
0:46 the jungle books and Ricky Tiki Tavi to the kids last year. Kipling is one of the greats.
0:51 Thank you. And so that was kind of a cool deal. So if you missed that episode, episode
0:54 25, I'd suggest that you go back and check that one out. It was basically this poem on
0:59 manhood. And it wasn't until the very, very end where it was revealed that this was basically
1:04 a father talking to his son and saying, Hey, if you do these things, this is what you will
1:09 become. You will be a man, my son. And so that's really cool. Anytime I get an interaction
1:13 with one of you guys, when something hits you directly. So guys, if any of the content
1:18 ever hits you in that way, just hit me up info at undaunted.life. That's the email info
1:24 at undaunted.life. But for today's episode, we're going to be getting into a fairly controversial
1:29 topic. And for a lot of you guys, you're really just going to have to follow me along
1:33 here as much as you possibly can. But the thing that kind of preceded everything that
1:38 we're going to be talking about today is because I said this during episode 84 of this podcast.
1:46 The fourth observation I want to talk to you about is this is that society is moving towards
1:52 the normalization of pedophilia. And this is just another step in that direction. And
1:58 now obviously, this seems like a pretty, pretty sizable shift up here. But you just have to
2:03 think about this guys. Again, this is teen Vogue magazine. Again, follow me here, follow
2:07 me. This is teen Vogue magazine. And this is an article that essentially is encouraging
2:16 girls below the age of 18, most of which are quite a bit below the age of 18, encouraging
2:23 them to get into sex work, because they're normalizing it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you
2:29 know, that some people go out and their bussers it out back or they're, you know, they're
2:33 helping people clean up stuff at the golf course or, you know, maybe they got an internship
2:38 with an accounting firm. But you know what, you could always just, you know, pull off
2:43 your top, have people pay for it. Give you $1 bills, you get enough of those, you'll
2:47 be fine. Few lab dances a night, that'll help pay the rent. But the big thing about
2:53 it here is one of the things that predators love are underage individuals that believe
3:01 that is what is happening to them is normal. Follow me again, follow me here. Because one
3:06 of the thing that pedophiles do, you can see this, it's all over the literature and the
3:10 research here with pedophiles is they are trying to groom the people, the young boys
3:17 and the young girls over time, so that they can eventually take advantage of them sexually.
3:24 Because for a lot of these individuals, for a lot of these young people, let's just talk
3:28 about young girls, if you were to just go right into the things that you eventually do with
3:32 these girls from the very beginning, it's going to seem so otherworldly and so shocking and
3:37 scarring, that is probably going to be a negative reaction. You're probably going to get caught
3:41 because they're probably going to tell somebody. But you see this overwhelming amount of time
3:48 and effort spent by these pedophiles to normalize their presence first, normalize the fact that,
3:54 you know, it's just normal that this person is around. And then it's just normal that
3:59 this person's going to hug you a little bit longer than other people do, that it's normal
4:03 that this person is going to touch you in areas and in ways that no one else does.
4:08 And so on and so forth. Don't worry, I'm not going to go all the way with that particular
4:12 line of thinking. But this is the best thing that a pedophile could think of because that's
4:18 got to really try your patience if you're a pedophile, right? Because you just want to
4:24 get your jolly's off as quickly as possible. But if you have to spend weeks or months kind
4:27 of normalizing and grooming this individual, gosh, it just kind of keeps you from getting
4:31 to where you want to be, right? But whenever they think that this is normal, that if you
4:39 just take payment as if this is just some sort of a service that you provide, right?
4:45 Then that's great. And society is doing a lot of things. Now I'll probably do an entire
4:50 podcast episode on the future in this, but it seems like drag queens are everywhere right
4:55 now, right? You know, we have drag queen story time at libraries and we have, you know, nine
5:01 year old boys that are, you know, world famous as drag queens now, these highly sexualized
5:06 forms of women, even though they are boys, or young men. But if we normalize it, it's
5:14 not going to be that big of a deal. And people always whenever you start making the slippery
5:18 soap argument argument, they're like, Oh gosh, here we go. This conservative Christian making
5:22 the slippery slope argument. Here we go again. But the thing about it is, is that's how the
5:26 world works. Because when you push past a certain line and that line becomes established,
5:32 you can continue pushing past the new line that you've established. That's how slippery
5:36 slopes work. Because there were things that, you know, one generation ago were absolutely
5:42 unfathomable. You know, think about gay marriage that was unfathomable one generation ago. And
5:47 now it's old hat. Right now it seems unfathomable that we would think that polygamy is something
5:53 that we should be able to do. But if love is love, right? If love is just love, then then
6:00 why can't a man have more than one wife? Why can't a woman have more than one husband?
6:07 And then the line eventually is pushed to, well, if love is love, and I'm a 30 year old
6:12 man, and you're a 15 year old girl, well, that's enough for consent, right? We love each other.
6:20 I mean, if love is love, right? You see what I'm saying? These arguments are absurd, but
6:26 this is where society is pushing you. When society doesn't have anything to anchor itself
6:30 to, namely, a God that gave us these rules for morality, then we just have to make it
6:35 up. And we make it up based on logic and reason alone, which takes us down this path. So obviously
6:43 that is the point that I was making there was a fairly sizable point for a lot of you
6:47 guys. Maybe you've never thought about that before. But the thing about it is is I'm not
6:51 crazy. Because almost immediately I had people sharing this video with me. And this is a video
6:57 that I'm going to kind of break down for you. It was a TEDx talk. So if you're familiar
7:01 with TED talks, those are just kind of they, they get people that are on the cutting edge
7:04 of a lot of different things. And they haven't come up and give these very specific type
7:09 speeches. They stand in one spot and blah, blah, blah. But I had multiple people share
7:12 this and one of those people was Jonathan West. He runs the Becoming Husband podcast. So shout
7:18 out to Jonathan West for sharing this with me and make sure you check out his podcast
7:21 Becoming Husband. I've been interviewed on that before. It's it's a it's really, really
7:25 solid podcast. The guy really knows what he's doing over there. But they shared with me
7:30 this video called pedophilia is a natural sexual orientation. So obviously that got my attention.
7:39 I was like, all right, cool. So this is going to be interesting. And so it took me a little
7:43 bit to get to the actually watching it because I wanted to make sure I could give it my full
7:47 attention because it's about a 13 minute long video. But it's presented by this woman named
7:52 Mirjam Heine. That's that's the best guess I'm going to give you. It's M I R J A M and last
7:59 name is H E I N E. So I'm not exactly sure where she's from. But yeah, I don't exactly
8:03 know how to say that. But this was a TEDx talk at the University of Worsberg. And so again,
8:11 it's just like it's completely got me flummoxed already just because listening to this multiple
8:16 times like I like I do with just about everything so I can share with you guys. It was unbelievable
8:21 what was being said here. And so what I want to do here is I want to go ahead and go into
8:24 some of the things that she said we're not going to listen to all 13 minutes or so. But
8:28 I just want to kind of give you an idea of what people out there think because there
8:32 are people that think what I said about the slippery slope about okay, we go from gay
8:37 marriage to, you know, having, you know, polygamy around to going to pedophilia, they think
8:43 that that's like absolutely grossly overstated, right? Super hyperbolic. But I don't exactly
8:49 think that's the case, right? So I'll provide the entire link for you here at the end so
8:53 you guys can watch the video for yourself. But let's go ahead and go into this TEDx talk
8:57 by Merjom Heine and it's called pedophilia is a natural sexual orientation. Let me tell
9:18 you about Jonas. Jonas is 19 years old. He studies law and Munich. In his spare time,
9:29 he likes to pay soccer. Jonas has a secret which he thinks he cannot share with anyone,
9:37 not even with his best friend or with his parents. He's just too afraid of anger, rejection
9:47 and repulsion. Jonas knows that he has to suppress his sexual drive for his entire life
9:56 and he also knows that there will never be a loving and fulfilling partnership that he
10:04 can enter because Jonas is a pedophile. He's only attracted to female children between
10:17 the ages of six and 12 years. But since he's aware of the consequences for the children,
10:26 he has never given in to his sexual drive. So how's that for an intro? I mean, yes, here's
10:37 the thing, just to point off right off the bat. She sounds like a satanic robot. So let's
10:41 just go ahead and get that out of there in the very beginning because it doesn't change.
10:45 There's no inflections. There's nothing that changes in terms of her presentation. That's
10:49 pretty much what it is. Okay, but I do want to kind of draw your attention to something.
10:53 She's trying to personalize something from the very beginning. I'm not perfectly convinced
10:59 that this Jonas person even exists, but his name pops up several times throughout this.
11:05 But let's go ahead and continue. We'll get back into the speech here.
11:10 What is pedophilia? And what is it not? In the ICD 10, the international classification
11:20 system for illnesses, pedophilia is coded as the sexual preference for pre adolescent
11:27 children. It is listed under the sexual disorders. Whether the persistent occurrence of sexual
11:35 thoughts and feelings for pre adolescent children have been acted upon or not is not relevant
11:42 to the diagnosis. Like every other sexual orientation, pedophilia can have different
11:49 characteristics. Hold up. Wait a minute. What was that last part? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:55 What was the last part? Like every other sexual orientation, pedophilia can have different
12:01 characteristics. Like every other sexual orientation, pedophilia can have different characteristics.
12:10 Well now isn't that interesting. She just kind of slyly sneaks in that pedophilia is
12:17 an accepted sexual orientation. That that's somehow just a thing. This is a thing that
12:24 just happens. Hmm. Now, the only problem that we see here is that there's no biology behind
12:34 any of that. I mean, there's really nothing that can kind of prove that, but it's very
12:40 effective for her in this to say something like that. Because again, she's not only
12:45 trying to personalize it by this point. She's also trying to legitimize it and give it actual
12:52 footings. So I mean, she's nothing if not good at what she's doing. I mean, she got a ton
12:58 of thumbs down on this presentation on YouTube. But hey, that's neither here nor there. Let's
13:02 go ahead and get back into it. For example, it can be heterosexual. It can be homosexual.
13:10 Some pedophiles are exclusively attracted to children. Others are not exclusively attracted
13:18 to children, but they're also sexually interested in adults. But their main sexual interest lies
13:26 within children. I believe this main sexual interest is given. We talk about pedophilia.
13:33 So apparently that's all we need to know. We are just going to take this woman's word
13:37 for it. This is just kind of a natural thing that none of us should be able to judge because
13:41 this is just basically how this person is wired, right? Just like if you were homosexual or
13:47 bisexual or transsexual or any of those things, that's wiring. I mean, according to this person,
13:52 right? I'm not really according to anything else, but definitely according to this person.
13:56 But now she's going to talk a little bit about demographics. So let's get back into it here.
14:01 The vast majority of all pedophiles are men, about 99%. Within the male population, 1
14:11 to 2% are considered to be pedophiles. This translates to about 60 million people worldwide.
14:25 This is as much as the population of Italy or of South Africa. Therefore, pedophilia is
14:34 not an irrelevant phenomenon. We can't simply ignore chances. Every one of you knows at
14:42 least one pedophile are higher than that you don't know anyone.
14:50 Now this is pretty straightforward stuff. This is just demographic information. I would
14:53 be curious here, however, to kind of get an idea of how exactly do you get that number?
14:58 How exactly do you get these percentage numbers? Because again, kind of the whole thing that's
15:03 undergirding what she's saying here is that, and we'll get more into this a little bit
15:07 later. It'll kind of be revealed. But it's like, okay, society is basically keeping these
15:11 people in the dark, right? With how we act. And so that that's interesting that we have
15:15 all these numbers. But let's just say that that were true. Let's say that these are acceptable
15:19 numbers, which sure I'm willing to concede that that's an acceptable amount. That's got
15:24 to be scary. I mean, think about that, dads. I mean, for your boys and your little girls,
15:30 it's just like, man, you got to really, really reckon with that. Now there's other statistics
15:36 that show kind of, you know, the propensity for women to be pedophiles, but it is overwhelmingly
15:41 male. I mean, almost 100%. But I mean, at the very least, that's got to be a nice little
15:45 warning signal for you guys, for any of you guys that don't like paying attention that
15:49 like your to have your heads in your phone, whenever your kids are out and about kind
15:52 of doing their thing. That's a little something to remind you that you got to be aware at all
15:56 times as to what's going on. So we're going to go and get back into this, this talk here,
16:02 because now she's going to start trying to separate a couple of things. She's going to
16:05 start trying to separate pedophilia and child sexual abuse. And she does it fairly creatively.
16:11 So let's go back into it here.
16:13 It is crucial to understand the difference between pedophilia and child sexual abuse,
16:20 which is illegal and must always be. Pedophilia is only the sexual preference for pre adolescent
16:28 children. The difference between child sexual abuse and pedophilia becomes very obvious when
16:37 we look at scientific studies. Think about it for yourself. What do you think? What percentage
16:47 of child molesters are pedophiles have a guess? Is it 20% 4060? Maybe even 80%? In fact, scientific
17:10 studies indicate that only 20 to 30% of all child molesters are pedophiles. The vast majority
17:20 of perpetrators are not pedophiles, but they're sexually interested in adults. Children can
17:26 easily become victims of child sexual abuse because of their loyalty and because of ease
17:32 of access. For example, a stepfather might abuse a stepdaughter because he feels anger
17:39 or jealousy towards her mother. Not every pedophile abuses children. And not everyone
17:49 who abuses children is a pedophile. Not everyone that abuses children is a pedophile. Huh?
17:59 Very interesting. Where is she coming up with this? Like, where does that line of reasoning
18:05 come from? So you can see her do something kind of slick there towards the end of this
18:11 little little area that we kind of pulled out. She talked about how, you know, a lot of it
18:15 is just because the kids are are around and they have easy access to them. It's almost
18:20 as if she's putting the onus on the kids. And then ergo, you kind of see that she's putting
18:27 the onus on the parents of these children, which I can obviously see that I feel like
18:31 we should have some responsibility there. I just talked about it here just a couple of
18:36 minutes ago. But this idea that these children, not by not everyone that abuses children is
18:42 a pedophile is insane. It is literally insane. So she's trying to build this argument again,
18:49 thinking in terms of this Jonas person that may or may not exist. She's trying to build
18:53 this argument that basically this isn't necessarily the pedophiles fault, right? And the, the
19:01 thing about it is, is like you can be a pedophile not do anything wrong. And so, so pedophilia
19:06 is just this natural inclination and bend within your brain. But the way that she's building
19:13 the argument is, is fairly disturbing. And that has a lot to do with the fact that she
19:17 basically said that not everyone that abuses a child is actually into the child sexually.
19:24 She almost explicitly says that she says a lot of it has to do with them, you know, basically
19:29 you're trying to get back at, you know, the kids parents, like, like really that's, that's
19:33 your argument. Like what? That doesn't make any sense. Now, are there certain people that
19:40 do things? I mean, obviously you don't have to look very far farther than the drug cartels,
19:45 the things that they do to the families of people that have wronged them or double crossed
19:48 them or stolen from them. Obviously there are people that do things to children and family
19:52 members just to teach people a lesson. But that's not necessarily what we're talking
19:56 about here, right? We're not talking about Mexican drug cartels. We're not talking about
20:00 the Cinaloa Cartel here. We're talking about dudes hanging out by the playground. This is
20:05 a very different scenario, but she's painting with such a broad brush. But again, she kind
20:10 of brings up her, her big statement here in just one second. So let's go ahead and play
20:14 that and then we'll talk about it.
20:17 According to current research, pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation. Just
20:24 like, for example, heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile. No one can seize
20:32 being one. The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that living
20:40 out this sexual orientation will end in a disaster.
20:44 And there you go. That's her main point. It is an unchangeable sexual orientation. Otherwise,
20:54 she would be saying this is normal. This is to be expected because everything that she
21:01 says after this is basically based off of that, that this is normal, that there's nothing
21:05 really broken about it. Almost that it's, it's just kind of unfortunate that it's illegal.
21:11 It's very unfortunate because poor Jonas can never actually have what he wants sexually,
21:18 right? That's basically where she's going for this. But now she's going to start pointing
21:23 her fingers. How did we even get here?
21:28 So let's think about Jonas again. How can we help him not to cause such a disaster?
21:37 How can we help him not to live out his sexual urges? How can we prevent child sexual abuse?
21:49 In fact, scientific studies indicate that one of the strongest predictors for child sexual
21:56 abuse committed by pedophiles is social isolation.
22:03 And there you go. Social isolation. This is kind of a favorite tactic of people that kind
22:08 of align with the more liberal kind of leftist ideology that we can't put the responsibility
22:14 on the person, whatever the person is and what they're doing. It's our responsibility. Got
22:20 it? It is our responsibility. We are the same dumb arguments for trans people and things
22:27 like that. Like, Oh, because we, if you bring up something like the suicidality of people
22:31 that actually go through with the sex change operation that their suicidality skyrockets,
22:36 it's actually the highest suicidality of any demographic group on the planet earth. It's
22:40 like, Oh, it's because they've been bullied. And that's that's the only reason they give,
22:46 and which is not to say that, you know, these children or these adults have never been bullied
22:50 or, or, you know, maligned or any of those types of things. But at the same time to say
22:54 that that is the reason is rich. Like really? I mean, they're trying to make us feel bad
23:02 that these individuals can't act out sexually again. When she goes into this little diet
23:06 tribe, she mentions Jonas again. Jonas was one of the first words out of her mouth. She
23:12 wanted us to consider this person so that we could feel bad for him. And to a certain
23:17 degree, we should pity this person that they have this proclivity apparently in their brain.
23:22 But what we should not do is feel bad for him because he can't act out on it. And that
23:29 is exactly what this person is trying to do. Exactly what she's trying to do. And a few
23:34 minutes later in the presentation, she keeps going. We shouldn't increase the suffering
23:39 of pedophiles by excluding them by blaming and mocking them. By doing that, we increase
23:46 their isolation and we increase the chance of child sexual abuse. You see, it's on us.
23:56 It's our fault. We are responsible because we increase the chances of child sexual abuse.
24:04 If we malign these people, if we say what they're doing or what they're thinking is
24:08 evil, it's on us guys. Don't you understand? She's just trying to help us understand.
24:13 So she talks for a few more minutes on there. And then I just got, you know, I got stuck.
24:19 I went down a rabbit hole on this one. And so I'm sure I'm on some sort of watch list
24:22 somewhere now because of all the different Google searches I did trying to like research
24:26 pedophilia and things like that. But believe it or not, there was another TEDx talk about
24:32 this subject. And I was thinking that potentially this could be something that was on the other
24:37 side, right? So this was a TEDx at sitar to galeen. I think it's how you say it. And it's
24:42 by another person with a hard to pronounce name, but it's Madeline Vander Bruggen. So
24:46 we'll go with that. Vander Bruggen like to say that. That's a strong name. But the name
24:50 of this talk was let's be mature about pedophilia. So just listening to that right there, you
24:58 might think to yourself that could go either way. We don't really know. So we're going
25:01 to break down a few pieces of this presentation as well. So let's go ahead and go into the
25:04 intro for let's be mature about pedophilia.
25:08 At some point last year, this article showed up in newspapers all over the world. The
25:16 police had taken down this massive child pornography network. It was on the dark net
25:22 and it had nearly 90,000 members. Lots and lots of illegal material were shared and lots
25:29 of messages were sent through the network every day, every hour, every second. People
25:37 from all over the world were logging into this network anonymously, which makes it extremely
25:43 difficult for the police to track them down. Now, some of these people only had the aim
25:50 of collecting child abuse and material online. Others also had the aim of abusing children
25:56 themselves. Regardless, they all found this deep satisfaction in discussing their deepest
26:02 fantasies and experiences with regards to child abuse online. Apparently there's a market
26:09 for this. Well, this makes me ask the question, how can we keep the world of the internet
26:16 safe for our children? How can we reduce and maybe even eliminate the problem of child
26:22 exploitation online? Well, that's quite a question to ask. As a psychologist, having
26:31 worked directly with sex offenders previously and now working for the Dutch National Police
26:36 Child Exploitation Unit, I can simply tell you this. Unfortunately, we will never be
26:42 able to eliminate every possible risk out there. However, there are definitely ways of making
26:48 the world of the internet a safer place for our children. And the criminal justice system
26:53 is one solution. But if we want to do more, I need the help of all of you. And in the
26:59 next 15 minutes or so, I will tell you exactly what we can do and why.
27:05 So at this point, you got to feel pretty good about where this is going. I mean, this is
27:09 a woman that is in law enforcement. She's very well spoken, obviously intelligent. And
27:13 you're thinking, okay, this is going to be a little bit different than the last video
27:17 that we watched. It's going in a positive direction. We like this. So let's see if she
27:22 keeps it up.
27:24 Well, this may sound really shocking, but it's not really surprising considering that international
27:31 research repeatedly portrays that 0.5 up to even 3% of our male population has some form
27:40 of paedophilic interest. I'm talking about our male population here today because that's
27:46 what most research is conducted on. I'm not saying that females don't have this difficulty
27:50 at all. It's just few is known about them. But 0.5 up to 3%. Consider the Netherlands.
28:01 We have 8.5 million men in total. So this percentage equates with 42,500 up to 255,000
28:11 men. That's all inhabitants of a medium sized city in the Netherlands. To make it even more
28:19 concrete, I was told that there's about 200 of you in the audience today. While looking
28:26 at you, I think there's slightly more females than males, but let's say that there's 80
28:31 males of you here today in the audience. We can all do the maths now, can't we? Statistics
28:39 indicate that there will be one or two of you who are struggling with some form of paedophilic
28:44 interest. And what this means is that most probably there will be someone in your environment,
28:53 someone you know, someone like your neighbor, like your colleague, like your football mate,
29:01 maybe even your husband or son who is struggling with these sort of feelings. The only thing
29:07 is you don't know about it. And here we get to a notion that I really want to emphasize,
29:15 because even though these percentages are massive, most of these people know that they
29:20 have feelings that they should repress. So most of these people don't act out on it.
29:26 They don't offend, which is great, isn't it? But the problem is these people can't talk
29:34 about their feelings because they know that they will be hated for it. I truly do believe
29:41 that every person is longing for love at some point in their life. And what if this love
29:46 that you really wish for will forever be impossible? That must be a really lonely situation to
29:53 be in. It's like telling me, we know that you love your boyfriend and we don't minimize
30:00 it love. However, you cannot act out on it ever. And on top of that, you won't be able
30:06 to talk about it with anyone. So unfortunately, sometimes it does go wrong. Sometimes people
30:15 do start offending. And I'm not justifying this on the contrary, I work for police. I'm
30:22 just saying that it's a logical thing to happen.
30:27 So it was like, I'm with you. I'm with you. Yes, stats and with your stats. This is bad
30:31 news. And then it's, Oh, isn't it so sad that these men can't rape underage children?
30:40 Isn't that just so sad that these guys are never going to be able to get their jollies
30:45 off? Gosh, we just got to feel really, really bad for them. Again, this is another person
30:54 in a different country that is giving you the same line of thinking, the same line of thinking.
31:00 So you have to start asking yourself around this point, like, is this normal? I remember
31:05 whenever I was watching these, I was like, am I the weirdo here? I was like, I feel like
31:09 this is insane, because it almost sounds plausible, right? It's like, ah, you know, this person
31:14 wants to do this thing and they can't do that thing. So that's, that's bad. But it's like,
31:18 what is the thing though? I mean, that's what we really need to get into is, is what is
31:22 the thing? But this next section here, she kind of gets into her main point for her whole
31:27 speech. So what do we do with this knowledge? Well, I think there will be many of you telling
31:34 me now, you know what? Let's just ban all these people from society. Let's just lock
31:39 them all up and let's just leave them somewhere far away from our children. And from an emotional
31:45 point of view, I can kind of understand what you're saying. I became an auntie last year
31:52 for the first time. My little nephew, he just turned one, absolutely crazy about the little
31:58 boy and we just got back from a family holiday and we really enjoyed the sun and the beach,
32:04 the weather was lovely. And I simply cannot imagine the possibility that my little nephew
32:11 wouldn't be able to walk around in his swimmingwear because some adult would be sexually attracted
32:16 to him. Yes, from an emotional point of view, I can kind of understand that you would want
32:23 to eliminate these people from society. However, it doesn't make sense. And that's because
32:31 we're talking about biology, we're talking about a sexual orientation, something that
32:37 we simply cannot change. And on top of that, every day, new people are born with the same
32:45 difficulty. So it's not practical to eliminate these people from society. They haven't done
32:50 anything wrong. So rather than letting our emotions rule, please, let's be mature about
32:57 this problem. Let's think about clever solutions. Guys, guys, guys, guys, let's just be mature
33:04 about this. Let's be mature. Let's just find some clever solutions to the problem here.
33:13 What's the problem? Oh, people that want to rape children. Ah, it's just like having
33:19 sewage back up in your house or, you know, a speed bump that goes awry. It's something
33:24 like that, right? It's a pothole. It's just a problem. We just need to fix it. Whoa,
33:31 man, it's just like, you just wonder, you just wonder how someone gets to that point,
33:37 because we just need to be mature, right? Again, it's on us. If we would just be mature,
33:42 this problem would basically fix itself because guys, it's biology. It's just biology, right?
33:49 That's all we need here. We just need biology. And she continues.
33:54 I can ensure you that law enforcement is working really, really hard every day to get
34:00 a grip on this problem. There's a great focus on prioritization and working on the most
34:07 dangerous offenders, the most extreme cases. And to get back to the newspaper article that
34:12 I showed you in the beginning, I started with a bit of a negative vibe because I wanted
34:17 to make you aware of the problem that we're facing. But at the same time, behind the scenes,
34:24 law enforcement is working really hard. They're professionalizing and working together internationally
34:31 to really get a grip on the tip of the iceberg of people active on these networks. And I
34:37 must say, I'm really proud. However, we can do so much more. And in order to do so, I
34:46 need your help of every single one of you out there. Because law enforcement only is
34:53 not going to arrest their way out of this problem. And that's because we're talking
34:57 about a public and a mental health issue, which is a shared responsibility for all of
35:03 us.
35:04 Boom. So there's some good here. She mentions that it's a mental health issue. But here's
35:09 the problem. This is a woman that very much so seems to be coming from a more leftist point
35:15 of view, more leftist ideology and moral man here and joke on just a second. But the thing
35:21 about it is, is they don't like using things like biology to describe things that they're
35:26 trying to normalize. So normalizing homosexual behavior, normalizing transgenderism. These
35:34 are things that they don't want to lean on biology. Because biology actually argues against
35:38 what they want. It cuts against what they want. So it's very interesting to mention mental
35:44 health here when you're not exactly looking to use that as the foundation for your argument.
35:49 You just kind of throw that in there. I don't know if it's to sound smarter or sound advanced,
35:53 but it doesn't really do you any justice. But let's go ahead and get into her outro here.
35:57 And this will be the last clip we'll have from her. So how can we be open about a problem
36:02 now? How can we break the taboo? Well, first of all, let's stop with hate. Let's stop with
36:10 negative vibes in the media and let's stop with throwing rocks at offenders houses because
36:16 it's not going to take us anywhere. It's never going to solve this problem. But rather please
36:25 let's be rational about this problem. Let's talk about it. Let's be open and let's be
36:31 a mature society. What if your son would approach you one day and would tell you that he's struggling
36:39 with paedophilic feelings? Would you beat him up or would you want to help? It's only
36:51 with this openness that people will find the strength to come forward and that people will
36:57 find the help they need. And I truly do believe that this will bring us one step closer to
37:02 prevention. However, as for me, if this talk or even my daily job helps to saving only
37:10 just one child, for me, that's a solution in itself. Thank you very much. So she kind
37:21 of makes herself a martyr there at the end. And that's kind of one of those things like
37:23 if you don't have that strong of a point, you basically just say if this makes a difference
37:27 for just one person, it's Bob, it's worth it. And I get it. I understand that it is worth
37:32 it and all those things. But it's just like, okay, pat yourself in the back and then move
37:35 on with your day. I get it. But the thing about it is in that outro, it just didn't
37:39 lay in the way that she wanted. Because again, she's trying to make us feel bad for these
37:43 people. She's making us feel bad that they can't act out in the way that they want to
37:47 act out. And she's basically like, come on guys, let's get rid of the negative vibes,
37:52 you know, like let's just do like some posse vibe type stuff. Let's have that instead. It's
37:57 like, come on, like it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to operate in that way.
38:02 But but that's the thing is as you continue researching these and I'll give you the links
38:05 to both of these so you can watch them for yourself, you just have to think like, isn't
38:08 this a little bit concerning? Because these are two presentations, I think both of them
38:13 took place in Europe. And typically the United States culturally is a little bit downstream
38:18 of Europe, especially politically as well. That's why you got to be a little bit concerned
38:22 about some of the things that you're seeing in some of the nations over in Europe. Because
38:26 if that's the direction that we're headed, we're in for a rude awakening. And so is our
38:30 liberty. But we have to be clear about something here as we as we take into account the things
38:36 that were said in those first two speeches. There is no scientific proof whatsoever that
38:44 pedophilia is biological or genetic. None. There's no such thing as a pedophilic gene.
38:54 It doesn't exist. The same thing with homosexuality. You hear, you know, again, like I talked about
38:59 it, things being old hat, homosexuality is just this accepted thing. But scientists have
39:05 been trying to prove for decades that there is a genetic proclivity towards homosexuality
39:11 and they can't prove it. And one of the biggest reasons that they can is if you look at identical
39:17 twins, you have one that's homosexual and one that's not, if you have identical twins,
39:22 one might be a pedophile and the other's not, right? And it's just absolutely crazy to them
39:29 that that these things can happen whenever they're looking at the genes and they're looking
39:33 at the biology, they're looking at the DNA and they just don't get an answer. But again,
39:38 if you argue these points of view on subjects like pedophilia or transgenderism or homosexuality,
39:44 if you argue these points of view, you can't use biology. You just can't. I mean, and guys
39:49 go and send me the some of these stories that we got recently. There was one that came out
39:53 in the last month or so where it's like, Oh, they think they've cracked the code on genetic
39:57 homosexuality or something like that. No, they didn't. They weren't even close, but they got
40:02 a headline got a lot of clicks, right? But all of that information that was kind of going
40:07 on there and all the research I did and all the reading, which I got, it's just going
40:10 to scar me for life. But I'm giving it to you guys. So say thank you. All right. But
40:14 it led to this. It's that society is normalizing pedophilia. And I know I'm repeating an argument
40:20 I made last time, but that's the thing. It just seems so crazy to even say that right
40:24 now, doesn't it? But it's true. They're normalizing it. These talks are popping up blogs are popping
40:33 up. Things just kind of pop up. And it's just kind of being snuck in along with some other
40:41 things. It's being packaged, you know, LGBTQ plus is there going to be a P in that plus
40:47 at some point for pedophilic people, people that that feel like they are attracted to
40:54 young children. It's not insane to say that. And the thing is, is leftists, liberals, secularists,
41:04 people with no Judeo Christian framework, they're to blame for this. I mean, it's not
41:10 the Christians. It's not the conservatives that that are sneaking in this language, right?
41:16 I mean, that would be absurd. But they're just kind of sneaking it in little by little.
41:21 And it is creating a slippery slope. So some of you guys may know who Matt Walsh is. We
41:26 we watch him and listen to him and read some of his stuff here at Undaunted Life, but he
41:30 works for the Daily Wire. And he's a guy that really does not pull punches and the things
41:34 that he says. And I can't remember where this clip came from. I think it was from something
41:38 at the end of last year, but it's just a few minutes on him talking about the slippery
41:41 slope of pushing transgenderism on kids. So you have to see the connection between what
41:48 I just said and what Matt's going to say here. Kids really at any age, they say, possess the
41:55 knowledge and the foresight and the wisdom and the power to choose their own gender.
42:05 So the left has no problem with the idea of an elementary school boy transitioning into
42:11 a girl. They say, well, if that's what he chooses, then it's okay. They have no problem
42:16 even with kids, young kids taking drugs, puberty blockers, hormones to essentially chemically
42:22 castrate themselves, even if temporarily, in order to facilitate this this transition.
42:29 They think that kids can consent to that. Now, this raises a very important question, I think.
42:38 If a child is too young to consent to having sex, how is he at the same time old enough
42:47 to consent to changing his sex? I mean, the consent laws are based on the correct idea
42:58 that children do not have the mental or physical capacity to really fully consent to sexual
43:04 activity. They are not able to consent to it because they don't have a full concept
43:10 of what it even is. And because they're young kids, they also don't have the power in any
43:16 situation to consent to say no. So that's why we have the consent age where it is. That's
43:26 why we say that kids can't consent. But if they don't have that capacity, how are they
43:35 possibly able to choose to transition? If they can't choose to have sex, how can they
43:41 choose to transition? How do they have, if they don't have the wisdom and the knowledge
43:46 and all of that and the maturity for one of those things, how do they have it for the
43:52 other? So obviously there's a contradiction here. The people that are pushing transgenderism
43:58 on kids are also at the same time by necessity, pushing an entirely different idea about consent
44:06 and about the mental capacities and the maturity of children, which is why I believe the people
44:14 that are pushing transgenderism will soon enough be pushing pedophilia. The two things
44:19 kind of go hand in hand because in order to to make their case that kids can make this
44:27 choice, they have to tell us that actually no kids have all the knowledge and power and
44:32 maturity that they need. So when pedophilia is normalized in our culture, and I think that
44:39 it will be soon enough, this is the vehicle by which you will reach that state of normalization.
44:46 And this is the reason why, this is one of the reasons why this issue really matters.
44:50 This is why it's important because what we're seeing here is an attack on kids, an attack
44:55 on childhood, and it's not going to stop with just this. It's not going to stop with just
44:59 the transgender stuff. Nothing ever stops. You know, you never get to a point, especially
45:04 with the left when they're when they're, they never stop if you've noticed that once they
45:09 achieve one thing, they get to one landmark, they're going to want to go on to the next.
45:13 That's what that's how it always works. So soon enough, the people that are saying that
45:18 kids are old enough to consent to changing their sex will also be arguing that kids are
45:22 old enough to consent to having sex. And this is not some kind of like far-fetched scenario.
45:29 Okay, pedophilia has been in the past and is now today in some cultures considered normal.
45:36 Ancient pagan cultures had no problem with it. It's a relatively normal practice in some
45:40 parts of the world even today. So it's by no means impossible or even implausible that
45:46 we in our culture could slide back into that state of things. But there has to be a catalyst
45:52 for it. There has to be something that sparks the change. And I think this is it. This is
45:56 what will spark it. And so this is why we need to pay attention.
46:02 I mean, it's kind of hard to disagree with his argumentation there because again, we've
46:06 seen this play out before. We've seen this play out in other areas. But again, that is
46:11 his main point being that if we say children have the wherewithal to be able to consent
46:17 to changing their gender and say that they somehow can't consent to what they do with
46:21 those sexual organs, right? It doesn't make any sense. You have to take this to its logical
46:29 outcome, which is insane, which is absolute insanity. But at the same time, this is the
46:35 logical outcome. And then a little while later, well, this was actually just released earlier
46:38 this June, Matt Walsh wrote a blog on his website, basically saying how the left is normalizing
46:43 pedophilia right in front of our eyes, not it wasn't his website. It was on the daily
46:47 wire. So it's a short one. So I just want to read it to you here. So here we go. Twitter
46:50 just announced that it has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation. Yet it has allowed
46:56 this video from vice in the video was basically showing these young boys, there was like four
47:01 or five of them that are being celebrated as these drag kids. So let's get back in the
47:05 article, both portraying and glorifying child sexual exploitation to remain on its platform.
47:11 The vice video is a fun and whimsical look at the community of young boys who dress in
47:15 women's clothing and dance for the perverted entertainment of adults. Vice proudly announced
47:20 that these children are the next generation of drag queens, but they are not really a
47:24 part of the next generation. They are the current generation, or more like current crop of a
47:30 new type of drag performer, new that is to the West. Over in places like Afghanistan,
47:36 it has long been customary to have young boys and female attire dance for the pleasure of
47:40 grown men. We have now adopted a similar custom, but under the guise of progressivism. The
47:46 left has become increasingly obsessed with dress dressing boys up like girls and parading
47:50 them around, literally parading them around. In some cases, like when the LA pride parade
47:55 had a seven year old boy quote, strutting, unquote, in high heels at the head of the procession,
48:00 little attempt is made anymore to hide the sexual nature of the drag kid phenomenon.
48:05 Remember, for instance, the drag kid who was posed naked with a man and the drag kid who
48:09 danced at a gay bar while men tossed money at him. This should put things into perspective
48:14 for those still obtuse and oblivious enough to think that the drag queen story hours popping
48:18 up at libraries across the country are just a bit of harmless fun. Hundreds of libraries
48:23 have hosted events to bring children and cross dressing men together. There is, of course,
48:28 no practical or coherent reason why a man has to dress like a woman from the Tim Burton
48:33 movie in order to read a book to children. The decision to add that Maccabray and grotesque
48:38 element into the equation is purposeful. And the purpose is to get children boys, especially
48:43 accustomed to idea of cross dressing. The sexual exploiters of children want to ensure
48:48 that there will be a constantly refreshed supply of bokeh boys or drag kids as we call them
48:53 here in this country. Follow the trajectory and it's not hard to see where we go next.
48:59 Ten years ago, there was no such thing as drag kids or drag queen story hours. Leftis
49:04 would have called you a paranoid lunatic had you predicted that such things would come
49:07 to pass. Now both are utterly commonplace yet leftis will insist that even though grown
49:12 men in dresses like to hang out with little children at libraries and adults like to go
49:17 to gay bars to watch boys dance around in skirts and high heels, there is nothing sexual
49:21 about any of it. Ten years from now, or maybe sooner, they will admit that this is sexual
49:27 but insists that there is nothing wrong with a young boy or a grown man getting together,
49:31 or young boy and a grown man getting together. So long as it is consensual. You don't need
49:36 to be Nostradamus to see this next step. It is right in front of us, clear as day.
49:42 Some is an active threat to our children. This is why we cannot compromise with it or seek
49:47 common ground. What kind of common ground can a sane and moral person find with those
49:52 who think it's acceptable to have a 10 year old perform at a gay bar. It is an evil ideology
49:58 through and through and we must defeat it or else watch our children be destroyed by it.
50:04 So again, guys, Matt Walsh has a very different kind of perspective and he comes out in a
50:09 different way, but you just got to look at it and understand that how is he wrong? Like
50:15 really reason through that in your brain. Even if you consider yourself to be more on
50:18 the left side of things, I don't care. This isn't a right wing conservative podcast. Even
50:22 though I hold a lot of those views, this is just a thing thing at this point. If you've
50:29 seen some of these videos, they're absolutely disturbing that I saw the video of the little
50:34 boy dancing at a gay bar in these men throwing dollar bills at this like nine year old boy
50:39 that's dressed up as a girl. I mean, it's insane. And the thing is is, what are the
50:46 parents doing? Like the parents actually think this is a normal thing until it gets a little
50:53 bit out of hand. There was actually this thing that came up a couple of weeks ago where there
50:57 was this mom that was quote unquote disturbed by a pedophile that was lusting over her 12
51:03 year old drag queen son. Think about how ridiculous that is that I even had to read that sentence.
51:11 Okay. So this pedophile was basically giving approval to her son and basically she was
51:17 like, Oh, that's disturbing. But she's the one that brought the boy. She's the one that
51:24 brought him to this event where he could be lusted over by a grown man while he's sitting
51:31 there in women's clothing, girls clothing that presumably the mother provided for him. It's
51:39 insanity. It's insipid. But that's the thing guys is this is all part of the game plan to
51:47 normalize this. And for us as Christians, we have to understand where this is coming from.
51:52 The United States is being given over to over to our sin. In this country, we've killed
51:59 over 60 million babies in the last 40 years, 60 million babies in the womb. We're allowing
52:03 things like like gay marriage and we're allowing things like this transgenderism to sweep over.
52:08 And we think it's just harmless that, you know, a biological boy is competing against
52:12 the girls in high school sport. It's like, Oh, that's no big deal. We think these things
52:16 are no big deal. And I bet you this mom thought it was no big deal until a grown man started
52:23 lusting after her 12 year old son, the 12 year old son that she thought it was maybe
52:29 just a phase or maybe she thought it was cute that he wanted to dress in women's clothing.
52:33 Or as we've seen with some places, the women are actually encouraging their boys to wear
52:38 girls clothes, almost telling them to do so at threat of punishment. This is going in
52:45 a certain direction, guys. And a lot of guys don't like talking about this. I mean, even
52:50 just I brought this up that I was doing research for this podcast. And a lot of guys didn't
52:54 really have a whole lot to say. They're like, Oh, that's kind of weird. It's like, yeah,
52:57 it is weird. But it's right in front of us. I mean, do you remember what your reaction
53:02 was the first time you heard about a drag queen story hour in your community? This is
53:06 part of their plan. This is part of the secularist plan. Again, you don't get drag queen story
53:13 hour when you have a Judeo Christian worldview that's soaked in the reality of the gospel.
53:18 You don't get that. But for a lot of you guys, you have to think to yourselves, is this okay?
53:24 Because there's a lot of liberal denominations out there that are allowing homosexuals in
53:29 the pulpit. They're allowing transgenderism around people I even heard about. There was
53:34 a pastor that's inviting this drag queen to come and speak to his church. Talk about normalization.
53:40 The thing about it is, is this doesn't mean that we shouldn't be there for these people
53:46 and that we should chastise them to the point where we can't even share the gospel with them.
53:49 That's not what we're talking about. But at what point are we going to stand up for truth?
53:53 At what point are we going to call a spade a spade? This is unacceptable. And for those
53:59 who've got there with kids, am I wrong? Drag queen story hour, if they brought one in to
54:06 speak to your first graders class, would you be the first parent down there to complain?
54:13 Would you pull your kids out of that school to put them in a private school or a Christian
54:17 school or homeschool? Would you would you be willing to do that? Or is it, ah, you know,
54:21 it's just kind of harmless. They're probably not even going to remember that that happened.
54:25 You can't underestimate how big these experiences are for kids and how much it directs their
54:31 paths for the future. Things that they see as normal as their 5, 6, 7, 10, 12 years old,
54:37 they see as normal for the most part for the remainder of their lives unless they have
54:41 some sort of other worldly transfiguring experience like potentially becoming a Christ follower.
54:48 And so for all of you guys, I know this was a tough subject for a lot of people. And this
54:52 is kind of a weird thing to talk about in this manner. But at the same time, you guys
54:56 got to get real. This is all around us. And it's not going to just go away either. A
55:02 lot of the reason why these guys don't have a whole lot to say because they figure if
55:05 they just keep their head down and, you know, plug their ears long enough that this isn't
55:08 going to happen anymore, that this is just a phase that all of a sudden the drag queens
55:11 aren't going to be at the library the next time that they show up. Get real guys, it's
55:16 only going to get worse. All right, guys, before we let you go, we're going to do a quick resilience
55:20 boost. As you know, by now we are a men's ministry and our mission is cultivating manly
55:24 resilience. Specifically, we do that by providing content like this podcast that helps you forge
55:28 spiritual, mental and physical toughness. So the mental resilience boost today is just
55:33 going to be a rundown of all the stuff that we had. So it's going to be the first two TED
55:36 talks here. So the first one was pedophilia is a natural sexual orientation. The second
55:40 one was let's be mature about pedophilia. And then I've got the entire episode where we
55:45 basically get to Matt Walsh making the argument that the left is normalizing pedophilia. And
55:49 then I have a link to the article that I read for you as well. Thanks for listening, guys.

Kyle Thompson
Society is normalizing pedophilia, and I know I'm repeating an argument I made last time, but that's the thing.
Kyle Thompson
When society doesn't have anything to anchor itself to, namely, a God that gave us these rules for morality, then we just have to make it up.
