0:30 This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:38 Our guys got a special episode for you today because this is not on our normal schedule,
0:41 but this is a follow-up episode to episode 152 of the podcast,
0:45 and that was called Normalizing Pedophilia LGBTQ+P.
0:49 So if you need context on this episode, make sure you go back and listen to that one.
0:53 It's a short one, but you can just get an idea as to kind of where I'm going with this.
0:56 But we were basically talking about the California Senate Bill 145,
1:00 and we were talking about the Netflix movie Cutie.
1:02 So you've probably heard about cuties because it's been talked about all over the place.
1:05 I'm sure all your friends on Facebook and Twitter are talking about it.
1:08 But since we've recorded this episode, right, which was before the release of the movie,
1:11 and whenever the Senate Bill 145 was sent to Governor Nussim's office,
1:16 that has since been signed into law.
1:18 So California Governor Gavin Newsom signed this into law.
1:21 So essentially, you know, an accurate way of portraying what's happening
1:24 is we are lowering the penalty for people that are having a sexual relationship with a child.
1:29 There's a lot more nuance to it.
1:31 I get into that in the last episode.
1:32 So if you want more nuance, go to episode 152.
1:35 I even have a link there so you can read the Senate Bill
1:37 so you can see what was signed into law.
1:39 But that's not really what we're going to be talking about today.
1:41 Because when I recorded episode 152 of this podcast,
1:44 the cuties movie, the Netflix cuties movie, hadn't been released yet.
1:48 Okay, all that we had seen were the original description and the original marketing pictures
1:54 and photography and the posters and all that.
1:58 And now we've got the film.
2:01 And here's the deal.
2:03 I've not watched the film, which I will get more into later because again,
2:06 I don't really want to support a film that depicts things that that does in that film.
2:11 But the clips that I've seen of this film are way worse,
2:16 way worse than I or really anyone expected based on the original image and description.
2:21 Because the original image and description were enough to really kind of deride
2:25 what was being propagated by Netflix and being put out there by Netflix.
2:28 But the clips are absolutely terrible.
2:30 And I'll put some in the show notes here because again,
2:33 and I kind of had a moral quandary about whether or not to even do that.
2:37 Because I know this could potentially be a stumbling block for some people.
2:40 But hopefully there aren't any pedophiles listening to this podcast because
2:43 I hopefully have scared you off a long, long time ago.
2:46 But the clips were basically showing these girls doing unbelievably sexually explicit dance moves.
2:52 Right?
2:53 There's a lot of scenes in the movie that depict that,
2:55 which you would guess from the original picture that you saw, the original poster that you saw.
2:59 You're seeing these girls in these skimpy costumes.
3:01 These are 11 year old girls dancing very, very seductively.
3:04 But when you see the clips of it, it's unbelievably uncomfortable.
3:08 It's incredible.
3:09 And rightfully so, no one should feel comfortable watching stuff like that.
3:12 But there's other scenes where the main actress in the film, again, 11 years old,
3:17 takes a picture of her vagina in the film.
3:19 And I think she sends it to somebody.
3:21 There's a girl that finds a used condom outside and she doesn't really know what it is.
3:25 So she puts it up to her face and blows it up and like turns it into a balloon
3:29 and one of them shoves it under her shirt.
3:30 So she looks like she has big boobs.
3:32 But really it's the dancing and the seductive dancing that we see from these girls.
3:38 And it's like, I'm even getting tongue tied because I'm just thinking about these images.
3:41 And it's like, maybe I shouldn't watch that because it's just burned into my brain.
3:44 Like, why would anyone think that this is okay?
3:46 And even to this point, you may have seen this over the weekend that there are
3:49 congressional Republicans that are looking into doing an investigation of Netflix
3:53 for the distribution of child pornography.
3:55 Now you might be thinking to yourself, this is maybe all for show.
3:58 This is just something for them to, you know, this is red meat for their base
4:01 or something like that.
4:02 But at the end of the day, we have to kind of look at this for kind of what it is.
4:06 And it's not the child pornography that you might be thinking of.
4:10 You know, when people go away for having child pornography on their computers,
4:13 but it's really not that far off from that.
4:15 But the thing about it, and again, there's not a whole lot of things in this country
4:18 that people can agree on right now, but there has been a lot of universal condemnation
4:22 of this and there are a lot of people that took to social media, people that you know
4:25 and people that you don't know, basically saying that they've canceled their Netflix subscriptions.
4:29 So if they hadn't canceled it before the movie was released, just based on the original image
4:33 and description, now they're going to go ahead and cancel their subscription over cuties.
4:37 But the big one was this, and I say big one because it's gotten almost 200,000 likes
4:41 and you know, she's a fairly prominent figure, but former 2020 Democrat presidential candidate,
4:46 Tulsi Gabbard, you know, if you're not familiar, if that name sounds a little bit familiar,
4:49 she's been on the Joe Rogan podcast.
4:51 She actually did an episode with Joe Rogan and Jaco Willink.
4:53 I didn't find her to be a supremely interesting person.
4:55 I kind of wish during the episode with her and Jaco Willink that she would have not talked as much,
4:59 but you know, she gets a lot of pub, you know, she did really well in some of the debate.
5:03 She's kind of been pushed out by the Democratic establishment.
5:05 So she's an interesting character to say the least, but she tweeted at Netflix, right,
5:10 on the 11th of September.
5:11 And this is exactly what she said, quote, child porn cuties will certainly wet the appetite
5:17 of pedophiles and help fuel the child sex trafficking trade, one in four victims of trafficking
5:22 her children.
5:23 It happened to my friend's 13 year old daughter.
5:25 Netflix, you are now complicit.
5:27 Hashtag cancel Netflix, unquote.
5:29 And so I retweeted it because as soon as I read that, it's like, yep, I can get on board
5:33 with every last bit of that.
5:36 But then I got a text from a buddy almost immediately.
5:38 He's a buddy that spends a lot of time on Twitter.
5:39 And this is a friend of mine.
5:40 I'll leave his name out of this because, you know, he may listen to this or some people
5:43 may know him and I'm not trying to throw him out of the bus when he's not here to defend
5:46 himself.
5:47 But this is a buddy that I've talked to.
5:48 We are in a text string.
5:49 We talk all the time.
5:50 And it's mainly about sports or just random memes.
5:52 It's just like nonsense stuff.
5:53 And he basically came at me and I'm not going to read, you know, the transcript of that.
5:56 But he's like, Oh, Kyle, please don't tell me you bought into that QAnon right wing conspiracy
6:01 that the cuties film is for pedophiles.
6:04 And this was like late on a Saturday and I'm like, wait, what?
6:07 And then I basically was telling this guy was like, please tell me that you have not bought
6:11 the line that this is a social commentary on the sexualization of children.
6:15 Please tell me you haven't done that.
6:16 And then for the next half hour or so, we're just going back and forth on this text.
6:21 And I'm like progressively getting more angry, which I tried not to do in those types of
6:25 situations.
6:26 I try to remain calm so that I can be really, really sharp in my responses.
6:28 But essentially he was thinking that this was just a big conspiracy.
6:32 And you know, he hadn't watched the film, but he was getting onto me for having not
6:34 watched films like, well, you haven't even watched it, but you know, you're going to
6:37 be making all these comments about it, which will go more into that later.
6:40 But he somehow thought that this, that the QAnon conspiracy, right, that what QAnon is
6:48 is somehow the story about this entire film.
6:52 And for those of you that don't know what the QAnon stuff is, I don't know a lot about
6:55 it.
6:56 I've heard it being mentioned.
6:57 It's this incredibly fringe group of people that believe that the United States is being
7:02 ran by pedophiles and that that's part of the whole sex trade and part of the whole thing
7:07 about human trafficking, like, and that's about the extent of what I know.
7:10 I don't spend a lot of time on 4chan or 8chan or Reddit or any of the places where these
7:14 people would go and congregate, but that's kind of the conspiracy.
7:18 And somehow people have convinced individuals that this entire thing is a conspiracy.
7:22 It's a figment of your imagination.
7:24 This isn't really a pornographic film.
7:25 This isn't a very, this isn't a film that, you know, pedophiles are going to enjoy.
7:29 It's all in your head, right?
7:31 And then even Slate, there was an, I don't remember the name of the guy that wrote it,
7:34 but Slate wrote an article where it was basically saying that conservatives have a creepy obsession
7:39 with cuties, right?
7:41 Basically calling out all these conservatives for their unbelievable views and they just
7:45 don't understand art and blah, blah, blah, basically coming to their defense.
7:49 But the thing is, is as I've thought through this, there's kind of two most common comments
7:55 from the defenders of the cuties movie because you can find them.
7:58 Just go to Twitter and you can type it in there and you'll find people that have written
8:01 articles that are defending what we've seen in this film, defending the clips, defending
8:04 even the original artwork.
8:06 But the two things that people normally say are this, number one, well, you haven't even
8:09 watched the movie.
8:10 So how could you even know that's the first one and the second one is this is all just
8:14 an overblown reaction to the botched marketing campaign.
8:19 So let's go back to the first one.
8:20 Well, you haven't even watched the movie.
8:21 So how would you even know?
8:23 Here's the thing.
8:24 The overwhelming number of people responding to and defending or responding to and defending
8:31 and deriding people on both sides of cuties haven't seen it, right?
8:34 That was a really bad way of saying it.
8:36 Essentially, most people have not watched this film, right?
8:39 There's not a whole lot of people that you know.
8:41 You may not even know someone that's actually sat down and gave an hour and a half or two
8:44 hours, however long it is and watched the film.
8:46 You don't know anyone, okay?
8:48 But for those outraged and critical of the film, that is completely okay.
8:56 Because what we've seen so far is sufficient enough to call out this film for what it is.
9:03 It's pedophilic pornography.
9:06 That's what this film is because there are pedophiles all over the place that spend a
9:10 lot of time watching this film over the last several days since it's been released, okay?
9:16 But these people that haven't watched the film but are defending it, did you not see
9:21 the pictures?
9:22 Did you not see the clips?
9:23 Do you know what you're defending?
9:26 Because to the people that say, "I shouldn't be able to have an opinion on this because
9:29 I had to watch the film," you would think that would be a good response, but it's
9:31 really not because you don't have to have witnessed the evil with your own eyes to know
9:36 that evil has been done, and that's true for a lot of cases.
9:40 Guys, I wasn't present for the Holocaust.
9:43 I wasn't there for it, I didn't see it go down, but I've seen enough evidence to suggest
9:48 that it was evil and morally wrong, regardless of what message the Nazi Party was trying
9:52 to communicate, right?
9:54 I wasn't there when Ted Kaczynski was making bombs and sending it to people because he
9:58 was trying to send a message about, you know, technology and about the world and all those
10:01 different things, but I've been able to read a lot of people that knew about this situation.
10:07 I know that one of the lead investigators that found Ted Kaczynski, he's a buddy of mine that
10:11 lives here in Oklahoma, I know enough, and I've known enough from people that have been
10:16 a part of that to know that what was being done in that situation by that man was evil
10:21 because the biggest differentiator here, guys, is that in this case, we've got the movie
10:26 poster, it exists.
10:28 We've got the clips, it, they exist, right?
10:32 I mean, you can't continue to go say, "Oh, well, you haven't watched the film," that doesn't
10:36 matter.
10:37 You think it matters, but it doesn't, and the second common thing you hear is, again,
10:40 this is all just an overblown reaction to the botched marketing campaign.
10:44 So again, we had the original picture which showed four 11-year-old girls all striking
10:48 incredibly sexually seductive poses, and then we had the original description that said
10:53 this girl, she's, you know, bucking against the conservatism of her Muslim family because
10:57 she's, you know, wanting to explore her femininity by joining this twerking dance crew, right?
11:02 You remember that, right?
11:04 But guys, just ask yourself, do you honestly think that there wouldn't have been backlash
11:09 if the poster hadn't gone viral?
11:12 Because that's, that's the thing that everyone's claiming, you know, two weeks ago or however
11:15 long ago, the poster was released, everybody freaked out on the left and on the right,
11:19 conservatives, liberals, most people freaked out when they saw this, and then the movie
11:22 comes out and it's like, "Oh, you're just riding that tidal wave of backlash."
11:26 That's all this is.
11:27 Do you honestly think that this film could have been released and not gone viral?
11:31 Let's say the poster was never even released, right?
11:34 So no one even knew cuties was coming, right?
11:37 And then you get on Netflix, it would have taken one person to watch this film on Netflix,
11:41 not really, not realizing that it's not some sort of coming of age tale of this 11-year-old
11:45 girl that's being, you know, unfairly in this authoritarian environment with her Muslim
11:51 family or whatever, then that would have went viral anyway.
11:55 Someone would have found that and been like, "Oh my gosh, did you see this movie that Netflix
11:58 tried to sneak in on their website or on their app, right?
12:02 Did you see this?"
12:03 This would have gone to where it is now, regardless, but the public was just ready for it because
12:10 we had a couple of weeks to be outraged just about the picture, just about the description,
12:14 and then the movie came out, right?
12:16 But here's the thing, for people that are defending this movie, and this might even
12:20 be helpful for you if you're having conversations with people that are actually defending this
12:23 movie, regardless of if they watched it or not, there are four important questions that
12:26 you need to ask to people that are defending this movie.
12:28 The first one is this.
12:30 Just on the widely circulated clips that everyone's seen by now and the posters from cuties.
12:35 How exactly is this film a social commentary on the sexualization of children?
12:43 Because that's the point everyone's making, right?
12:45 That this film is about the over-sexualization of Western children and all that, and this
12:49 is just a commentary on that.
12:51 Okay, great.
12:54 How?
12:55 Look at this movie poster and tell me how this is a social commentary, and that's it.
13:04 Can you please watch these clips, these unbelievable clips of these girls dancing like strippers,
13:11 right?
13:12 Wearing barely anything and touching themselves and touching each other.
13:17 Can you please explain to me, make it, make it so easy that even I could understand how
13:23 this is a social commentary, because guess what?
13:26 They can't produce an answer aside from the statement.
13:30 That's all they can do, and the statement is, this is a social commentary.
13:34 So you ask him, well, how is this a social commentary?
13:36 Well, it's a social commentary.
13:38 It's obvious.
13:39 That was my buddy that he and I were arguing back and forth.
13:40 He's like, you know, Kyle, just watch the film.
13:42 It's obvious.
13:43 This is a guy who hasn't watched the film, but he's like, just watch the film.
13:45 It's obviously a social commentary.
13:47 Like you'd have to be dumb to not know that.
13:49 Well, then why can anyone explain to me how it is a social commentary?
13:53 The second important question that these people defending the cuties movie need to be able
13:56 to explain to you and give you an answer for is, would you have allowed your 11 year old
14:01 daughter to star in this film, you know, assuming you had an 11 year old daughter or
14:06 even someone that's in that age range, because I asked that to my buddy that was, you know,
14:10 going all scorched earth about this and saying, you know, this is all conspiracy.
14:13 He doesn't have an 11 year old daughter, but he has a son that's very close to that age.
14:17 And I said, buddy, if you had an 11 year old daughter, would you have let her star in
14:20 this film?
14:21 He said, probably not.
14:25 But isn't that so interesting?
14:28 Wouldn't you if this was just a social commentary of the sexual on the sexualization of children,
14:32 which most people would agree is absolutely abhorrent behavior.
14:35 Why wouldn't you want your daughter to be a part of that?
14:38 Your daughter's part of a revolution.
14:41 But isn't that interesting that he thought it was okay for someone else's daughters,
14:45 not his own?
14:47 Interesting.
14:48 The third question that you need to ask these people is do you know what the director at
14:52 slash writer of this films motives were for making the film?
14:58 Because all we've heard since this, this whole backlash broke is that again, it's a social
15:02 commentary.
15:03 Oh, well, this is just a social commentary.
15:04 Oh, well, if you had seen it, it would just, you know, you would have seen that it's a
15:07 social commentary on the sexualization of children.
15:09 It's not the sexualization of children.
15:11 It's a social commentary.
15:12 Again, we've heard that over and over and over.
15:15 But back in January, the director of this film, and I apologize, I can't pronounce her
15:21 name.
15:22 It's like part French part, you know, African, it's really hard to pronounce.
15:24 So I don't want to be disrespectful and mispronounce the name.
15:27 So the director was asked in an interview with the rap about what the film was about,
15:32 right?
15:33 And so I'm going to actually play a clip here of her answer.
15:36 And you might be interested to realize what you're not hearing her say.
15:41 So really pay attention to her answer when the interviewer asked her basically, what
15:45 is this film about?
15:46 Why did you write it?
15:47 Why did you make it?
15:48 So here we go.
15:49 The question is should we have the right to choose which women we can be in this world
16:01 in our culture, you know, even today, me.
16:05 I can say I'm not totally free because I love to wear short dresses.
16:14 At the same time, sometimes when I go to the religious ceremony, I wear the veil as well.
16:22 So just choose as a woman with who do you want to be.
16:29 So there you go.
16:30 I mean, shout out to Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire because he's the one that put that clip
16:33 out there because you can't really find this interview.
16:35 And then that's so interesting that I bet you a month ago, you could have easily found
16:38 this interview, but now it's kind of buried because when the interviewer asks her openly,
16:44 there's open-ended question, what is this film about?
16:47 That was her answer.
16:50 Did you hear anything about a commentary on the over-sexualization of children in the
16:56 West or growing up in a repressive Muslim household and how that leads to these ideas
17:02 about sexual...
17:03 Did you hear any of the social commentary in there?
17:06 Because guys, I'm going to provide the interview to you later in the show notes.
17:09 You can listen to the rest of the interview.
17:11 The interviewer basically has to serve up the, "Oh, this is a social commentary on sexuality
17:17 for children, right?"
17:18 Like, that's what this is, right?
17:20 And she's like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, essentially, yeah, that's kind of what it is."
17:23 But when you're asked the question in an open-ended fashion, that's the answer that you get.
17:28 Is the answer that she gave?
17:31 And so when people are trying to imbue motives on this woman, like, "Oh, no, no, she's trying
17:35 to do a social commentary," she didn't even say that.
17:38 We're saying that, and all the defenders of this film, that's all they're willing to
17:42 do over the last several weeks, is to explain to us a simpleton that they know better than
17:48 we do, right?
17:50 If we just knew like they did, and if we saw the world as they do, then we would understand,
17:55 right?
17:56 So you got to get an answer to that, to the defenders of this film, is do you know their
18:00 motives?
18:01 And then show them this clip.
18:03 This is what she said when she was asked a direct question, and if you think I'm taking
18:06 the clip out of context, that's why I'm providing the entire clip to you.
18:08 I think it was like a five or six minute interview.
18:10 It's there in the show notes.
18:11 Show it to them.
18:12 You got to get an answer.
18:13 And the last one here is this.
18:14 Is how far are you willing to take the quote unquote social commentary argument to the defenders
18:20 of this film?
18:21 How far are you willing to take that?
18:23 So let's just say that I believed that, you know, the people that made cuties were doing
18:28 it because it was a social commentary on the sexualization of children, which I don't.
18:32 I don't believe that.
18:34 Did you have missed the mark worse than they did that the makers of this film, could you
18:39 have missed the mark worse?
18:42 Because as you've heard the argument said over and over by now, you can't provide a
18:46 social commentary on the sexualization of children while sexualizing children.
18:53 You can't do that.
18:54 That's not how this works.
18:56 The main reason or the main other corollary or anecdote that people will use is like, okay,
19:01 well, can you do a documentary on gratuitous violence and how horrible it is for people
19:06 to view that while only showing gratuitous violence in the film, regardless of any other
19:11 points you're trying to make.
19:13 It's not making the point that you think it's making.
19:15 It doesn't mean what you think it means.
19:17 But again, how willing are we to take that argument?
19:20 So let's just use their logic for the sequel to cuties.
19:25 Should they actually show an adult male penetrating one of the female actresses with his erector
19:31 erect penis as a social commentary to inform all of us rubes on the dangers of adult males
19:37 that penetrate female children with their erect penises?
19:40 Yeah, if that's a little bit outside the bounce for you, I'm sorry, you know, you know, apologize
19:45 to your children that I said that in front of them.
19:47 But is that the way, is that the way we're going?
19:50 Oh, it's just a social commentary.
19:52 Is it though?
19:54 Where would you draw the line?
19:57 Because to the people defending this that don't even feel comfortable enough for their
20:00 children to be in the film, they're somehow going to tell me that I don't understand.
20:04 I seem to understand just perfectly.
20:07 It seems to me that you have perhaps a seared consciousness in this area, that you can't
20:12 even see that film, see the artwork, see the clips, and respond in any other way than,
20:18 oh, it's just art.
20:20 Is it?
20:21 Is it just art?
20:23 How far are you willing to take the argument though?
20:27 What would make you uncomfortable if you saw it on film?
20:30 I'd be very, very curious to know.
20:33 And so all this is to crescendo to this point, which is, yes, if you're listening to this
20:37 podcast, if you're still this far in, yes, you should cancel Netflix.
20:43 And I know I've talked about before even somewhat recently that I'm kind of uncomfortable with
20:46 boycotts because a lot of times they don't really work.
20:49 It doesn't really make a lot of sense.
20:50 You're just kind of making noise.
20:51 And if you post it on Facebook, that seems to be the only reason that you've done it.
20:55 But I canceled my Netflix.
20:58 That's exactly what I did.
20:59 And it's because of this film, on the reasons on the website when you go to cancel the subscription
21:04 and they give you a bunch of choices and they give you other, I said other and I had some
21:08 not so nice things to say about the cuties film, just to let them know, even though no
21:11 one's really going to read it.
21:13 Because guys, if you don't draw the line at child sexual exploitation, I've got news for
21:19 you.
21:21 You don't have a line.
21:25 Because the thing is is all this time I've had Netflix, I've been able to ignore the
21:30 wokeness and I've been able to ignore some of the BS messaging of their films.
21:34 I've been able to ignore and just not pay attention to some of the things that are so far left
21:39 wing.
21:40 You know, I just don't really buy into all that.
21:41 You know, I'm watching, you know, movies that I that I don't own and I'm watching some
21:45 documentaries.
21:46 I watch a lot of documentaries on there and all that's all that's fine.
21:49 But this crosses the line guys.
21:52 It 100% crosses the line.
21:55 So for me personally, I'm not going to speak for you.
21:58 I draw the line of things that aid the sexual fantasies and slate the sexual lust of pedophiles.
22:06 That's a pretty damn good line to draw.
22:08 If you're going to draw one, you might as well draw one there.
22:11 But guys, we do need to talk about what you canceling your Netflix subscription actually
22:17 does.
22:18 Okay.
22:19 Because there's some things that it does.
22:20 And then there's a lot of things that it doesn't do.
22:21 So the first thing is this is that Netflix won't miss your business.
22:26 But that doesn't matter because guys, the last published numbers I was able to find is
22:31 Netflix had just under 183 million subscribers and that continues to go up.
22:39 This is not going to ruin this company in 2019.
22:43 Their revenue was over $20 billion with a B $20 billion.
22:49 So if a few thousand or even tens of thousands of conservatives, family oriented people cancel
22:56 all their subscriptions, it's not going to make a dent for this company.
22:59 They're not even going to notice it.
23:01 When they do their quarterly releases of their numbers, no one's going to be concerned
23:05 about that.
23:06 Even if 100,000 people got rid of their subscriptions and put it for the reason of cuties, it's
23:10 not going to matter.
23:11 It's going to be overwhelmed by the number of people that have added Netflix during that
23:14 time.
23:15 They won't even feel it.
23:16 And you know what, frankly, they probably would appreciate the free press again.
23:21 It's not really about how they're going to feel about it because you can't affect them.
23:26 You're 10 bucks a month or whatever you were spending on Netflix.
23:29 If you think that I'm really going to show them, I'm going to cancel my subscription.
23:32 They're not limiting it.
23:33 So just just be real about that.
23:35 But a reason why this is important, right, you know, why canceling what your subscription
23:40 actually does is it provides you a talking point and maybe even a teaching moment for
23:45 your children of all ages.
23:47 So when they wonder why Netflix is no longer available at home, this is where you step
23:52 in, dad, and you have a conversation.
23:55 So I can't talk to my four month old son about this, but this will certainly be something
23:59 we talk about someday.
24:01 But this was a moment for my wife and I to sit there and be like, Hey, what kind of family
24:04 are we going to be?
24:05 And I'm embarrassed to admit that I got so busy and had kind of forgotten to cancel it
24:10 that my wife kind of knew all this was going on.
24:12 And she's like, man, I've seen a lot of people post about this on Facebook.
24:14 Like, is this really what's going on?
24:16 Are we canceling our Netflix?
24:18 It's like, yeah, honey, that's exactly what we're doing.
24:20 And we're in the middle of some shows and there's some things that we thought we were
24:23 going to watch in the future.
24:25 So that matter.
24:27 And this gets to the last point, which is basically the entire point of this podcast
24:31 aside from the fact that yes, you should cancel your Netflix is guys, you get to make a statement
24:36 about what your family is and is not about.
24:41 When you cancel your Netflix subscription, if you decide to do so, you're making a
24:44 statement.
24:46 The Smiths are about this, right?
24:49 The Thompson's are about this.
24:50 The Williamses are about this, right?
24:53 That's what you get to say because there's certain things in this world that that's okay
24:58 to kind of ignore because guys I've said before, you can't be outraged about everything.
25:02 There's not enough hours in the day and you just don't have enough energy to be outraged
25:06 about everything there is to be outraged about.
25:08 That's why you shouldn't feel too bad if you don't give to every charity out there because
25:12 you don't have enough money to make sure every charity has every dime that they could
25:15 want to go after their cause, right?
25:19 This is a big one.
25:22 The sexual exploitation of children for the benefit of pedophiles, that's worth it.
25:29 Abortion, that's worth it.
25:32 Sexual enslavement, human trafficking, that's all worth it.
25:36 This isn't some sort of fringe issue.
25:39 And hopefully throughout this podcast, I've given you some tools to where if you have
25:42 some people in your life that are pushing back on you on this, trying to tell you that
25:46 you're just a conspiracy theorist, oh, you're just a QAnon person.
25:49 Oh, are you far right now?
25:51 No, you're not the one with the problem.
25:54 They are.
25:55 All right, guys, before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost.
25:57 As you know, by now, we are a men's ministry and our mission is cultivating manly resilience.
26:01 Specifically, we do that by providing stuff like this podcast that will help you forge
26:04 spiritual, mental and physical toughness.
26:06 So for today, guys, I'm just going to warn you right from the top.
26:09 It's graphic and disturbing, but I have three different clips.
26:12 So if you don't have Twitter, I don't know if you'll be able to see these, but I found
26:14 three different people that had clips from the film.
26:17 So if you want to watch the entire film and that's what you feel like you should do and
26:20 you want to support it in that way, just so you can know, hey, you go ahead and do you,
26:25 but you can kind of get a sense of what is in this film by these three clips.
26:29 But again, they're graphic, they're disturbing and I'm not sure you'll be able to forget
26:33 them quickly and the last thing I got for you is the interview that the director of this
26:38 film did with the rap.
26:39 And so you can actually watch the entire interview.
26:42 It's at, it's at the very, very top of the webpage and then you can read through the
26:44 rest of it there.
26:46 All right, guys.
