- 0:03Speaker 1: So HBO Beck's inclusion of Harry Potter author in show
- 0:08Speaker 1: based on book series amid accusations of transform So back's
- 0:16Speaker 1: the inclusion of the creator of Harry Potter in a
- 0:20Speaker 1: show about Harry Potter. How that just seems to make
- 0:24Speaker 1: so much sense to me? The like not including her
- 0:28Speaker 1: would make zero sense to me. She made the whole thing,
- 0:33Speaker 1: this incredibly profitable intellectual property. She made it. But you know,
- 0:39Speaker 1: woke people, there's a few fringe weirdos, small fringe minority
- 0:45Speaker 1: of the activist lunatics that got really cross at her.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Why did they get cross at her? I wonder well,
- 0:51Speaker 1: let's take a look at this first. HBO has defended
- 0:54Speaker 1: its decision to collaborate to collaborate with author J. K.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Rowling on its upcoming Harry Potter television series after being
- 1:03Speaker 1: questioned about her women's rights activism, which has enraged the
- 1:08Speaker 1: transgender community and its allies. Ratling, a British liberal author,
- 1:13Speaker 1: has been a vocal supporter of female only spaces and
- 1:17Speaker 1: has experienced significant criticism as a result. The author has
- 1:21Speaker 1: stood firm in the face of years long backlash, reiterating
- 1:25Speaker 1: her stance that she does not support trans identifying men
- 1:29Speaker 1: who believe there are women invading women's spaces. This is
- 1:33Speaker 1: why I guess it's like a big deal that HBO
- 1:37Speaker 1: is saying, Yeah, we want to involve. Yeah, it's like
- 1:39Speaker 1: her thing. She made it up. I think it'll help,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and we don't care. We don't care about the rest.
- 1:44Speaker 1: So activists, transactivists have been harassing her forever. What did
- 1:48Speaker 1: she do? What started it all off? But show you
- 1:52Speaker 1: she said this. If sex isn't real, there's no same
- 1:56Speaker 1: sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women,
- 1:59Speaker 1: Glowe is erased. I know and love trans people, but
- 2:03Speaker 1: erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many
- 2:06Speaker 1: to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn't hate to speak
- 2:11Speaker 1: the truth. Well, that doesn't sound so fascisty to me.
- 2:14Speaker 1: That seems pretty reasonable. That's from June six, twenty twenty.
- 2:18Speaker 1: The idea that women like me, who've been empathetic to
- 2:21Speaker 1: trans people for decades feeling kinship because they're vulnerable in
- 2:25Speaker 1: the same way as women i e. To male violence,
- 2:28Speaker 1: hate trans people because they think sex is real and
- 2:31Speaker 1: has lived consequences is a nonsense. A nonsense. So what
- 2:36Speaker 1: she's doing is accurately describing reality, I respect every transperson's
- 2:42Speaker 1: right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable
- 2:45Speaker 1: to them. I'd march with you if you were discriminated
- 2:49Speaker 1: against on the basis of being trans. At the same time,
- 2:52Speaker 1: my life has been shaped by being female. I do
- 2:55Speaker 1: not believe it's hateful to say so. So none of
- 2:59Speaker 1: this sounds crazy or phobic. It just sounds perfectly reasonable. J.
- 3:05Speaker 1: K Rowling also always a liberal, totally Trump deranged. I
- 3:08Speaker 1: don't know how trump drained she is these days, but
- 3:11Speaker 1: always just a liberal. Get more of an old school
- 3:14Speaker 1: liberal feminist kind of you know, and that's not enough
- 3:18Speaker 1: in progressive woke world. You gotta go all the way
- 3:21Speaker 1: with them. You're gonna go. You gotta go right off
- 3:23Speaker 1: the cliff with them, or else. Guess what, you're Nazi.
- 3:26Speaker 1: You're the you know, the Nazi writer, You're the pobe. Interestingly,
- 3:31Speaker 1: here we're gonna come back to this. Naomi Wolf at
- 3:34Speaker 1: the time wrote something critical of JK Rowling, and this
- 3:39Speaker 1: is a little rabbit hole We're gonna go down further
- 3:41Speaker 1: because interesting things happened with Naomi Wolf. So for these
- 3:45Speaker 1: perfectly reasonable things that jk Rowling said, it just set
- 3:49Speaker 1: off a storm, a year's long storm of criticism and
- 3:52Speaker 1: death threats and moral panic over her. Daniel Radcliffe says
- 3:57Speaker 1: ignoring JK Rowling's transform blah would be ammen's cowardice. Immense cowardice.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Let's see, doing the thing that presents exactly zero risk
- 4:10Speaker 1: to your career is the brave thing. It feels like
- 4:14Speaker 1: the immense cowardice is doing the easy thing right, taking
- 4:18Speaker 1: the path of least resistance, which is what he's doing here.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Sighting with her would have would have would have had
- 4:26Speaker 1: risk that would have included risk to him, risk to
- 4:28Speaker 1: his career because people would call him trans. So the
- 4:35Speaker 1: cowardice to me appears to be what he's actually doing there. Right,
- 4:40Speaker 1: He's doing exactly what he needs to do to preserve
- 4:43Speaker 1: his place in Hollywood to keep getting work. That's not bravery,
- 4:48Speaker 1: that's not courage. That is the cowardice. Let's see what's this.
- 4:54Speaker 1: HBO stands by JK Rowlings trans on the most ironic
- 5:00Speaker 1: day possible. So what's this that's into into Does this
- 5:05Speaker 1: show you some of the things here that we've got.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Let's see through accusations of black mold and do psychosis
- 5:11Speaker 1: and being sued by an Olympian jk Rowling has stutt
- 5:14Speaker 1: furmingher and ty tr beliefs uh spanning the Internet countless time,
- 5:20Speaker 1: countless with countless posts, blah blah blah. Yeah, So you
- 5:25Speaker 1: see the point, right, just constantly being attacked and for
- 5:29Speaker 1: what for what if sex isn't real, there's no same
- 5:33Speaker 1: sex attraction? Well, that's just an accurate description of reality,
- 5:36Speaker 1: isn't it? Isn't that what that is? I think that
- 5:40Speaker 1: for the activists, for the progressives, for the woke zombies,
- 5:43Speaker 1: they get really mad when you accurately describe reality because
- 5:47Speaker 1: there's not really an argument against that. I mean, reality
- 5:50Speaker 1: just always has a better a better argument than like
- 5:53Speaker 1: woke delusion or ideological delusion. It just does because it's real,
- 5:58Speaker 1: and people will notice that. If you're starving to death,
- 6:01Speaker 1: you're gonna notice it. It doesn't matter if the commissars
- 6:04Speaker 1: tell you that you're getting plenty of food. Jk Rowling
- 6:07Speaker 1: slam's activists actors who docks her during trans rights protests.
- 6:13Speaker 1: So what happened here? Let's see that a little bigger.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Last Friday, my family's address was posted on Twitter by
- 6:20Speaker 1: three activist actors who took pictures of themselves in front
- 6:24Speaker 1: of our house, carefully positioning themselves to ensure that our
- 6:28Speaker 1: address was visible. So, yeah, it's been This was from
- 6:33Speaker 1: November twenty second, twenty twenty one. It's been years of
- 6:36Speaker 1: this craz itess couse the death threats. I mean, hey,
- 6:38Speaker 1: look with the death threats, I guess that's kind of
- 6:40Speaker 1: being famous on the internet. But it's all quite absurd.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And what over? What over? If sex isn't real, then
- 6:49Speaker 1: there's no same sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the
- 6:52Speaker 1: lived reality of women globally is erased. This all just
- 6:55Speaker 1: makes sense to me. It isn't hate to speak the truth.
- 6:59Speaker 1: That's not how the lunatics see it. The lunatics do
- 7:02Speaker 1: see truth as hate anything that doesn't conform to their ideology.
- 7:07Speaker 1: We've said it before on this channel, haven't we. We've
- 7:09Speaker 1: said it. We said they don't try and fit their
- 7:11Speaker 1: ideology into the world. They try and fit the world
- 7:14Speaker 1: into their ideology. And they don't care if they break
- 7:17Speaker 1: the world to do it, and they don't care how
- 7:20Speaker 1: many people they have to break to do it. Here's
- 7:23Speaker 1: the tweets. See these I know and love trans people.
- 7:27Speaker 1: She says, total bake it obviously right, just because she
- 7:32Speaker 1: doesn't agree with every fucking crazy thing that doesn't make
- 7:34Speaker 1: any sense. But I wanted to go back down to here.
- 7:37Speaker 1: So who is this? This is somebody we've heard about
- 7:41Speaker 1: the last few years who's been well known for a
- 7:44Speaker 1: long time, crazy feminist for a long time, doctor Naomi Wolf.
- 7:48Speaker 1: She's quoting JK. Rowling. Here, if sex isn't real, the
- 7:54Speaker 1: lived reality of women globally is erased. She's criticizing this.
- 7:57Speaker 1: She says, such a reductive view of women's lived reality.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And there is no fixed truth about what sex is.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Views of female gender have changed over centuries. They used
- 8:10Speaker 1: to think our wombs traveled? Why is our Okay, so
- 8:13Speaker 1: it goes just nonsense. Right, let's see, there is no
- 8:18Speaker 1: fixed truth about what sex is. Their show is. It's
- 8:21Speaker 1: called biology. Views of female gender have changed over centuries. Yeah,
- 8:26Speaker 1: pretty much that entire time, nobody thought that chicks had dicks. Right, Like,
- 8:31Speaker 1: we're getting into some pretty basic stuff here. So bi
- 8:34Speaker 1: logic reality, right, reductive view of women's lived reality. So
- 8:39Speaker 1: this is from June tenth, twenty twenty. So what happened
- 8:44Speaker 1: around that time and what continued to happen. There's a
- 8:47Speaker 1: little something called a pandemic called the COVID, it's called
- 8:50Speaker 1: the jabs. Something happened to Naomi Wolf. So this is
- 8:54Speaker 1: where she was, This is where she was lefty back
- 8:57Speaker 1: in June tenth, twenty twenty. Something changed. So there she
- 9:02Speaker 1: is criticizing, criticizing jk Rowling for saying totally normal things
- 9:07Speaker 1: and then criticizing the totally saying things that jk Rowling said.
- 9:11Speaker 1: So interesting. Let's see Naomi Wolf. Let's take a look
- 9:15Speaker 1: at her Twitter today. Here, she's retweeting Nancy Mace, we
- 9:19Speaker 1: see you and we stand with you. From the bottom
- 9:22Speaker 1: of my heart, thank you, Nancy Mace. Well what is
- 9:24Speaker 1: she saying?
- 9:25Speaker 2: I just wanted to take a minute and say how
- 9:29Speaker 2: profoundly grateful I am to Nancy Mace for standing up
- 9:33Speaker 2: for women and girls in America. The amount of death
- 9:37Speaker 2: threats and rape threats and disgusting comments directed towards women
- 9:42Speaker 2: like Nancy, women like us, women like me who dare
- 9:46Speaker 2: to tell these men no, I joke about it all
- 9:49Speaker 2: the time.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I post that talking about men and women's spaces. So
- 9:53Speaker 1: not only Wolf just reposted that, isn't that interesting? She's
- 9:58Speaker 1: reposting gay against groomers, breaking a California school the silencing
- 10:03Speaker 1: female athletes for defending their rights, comparing their save Girl
- 10:07Speaker 1: sports shirts to swastikas. Of course, typically hysterical, the message
- 10:12Speaker 1: is clear, woke political slogans encouraged speaking up for fairness
- 10:15Speaker 1: and sports censored fairness is now big a tree. She's
- 10:20Speaker 1: reposting Game A gains against groomers. So let's go back.
- 10:25Speaker 1: This is where she was in twenty twenty talking about
- 10:28Speaker 1: how the reductive view of women's lived reality, criticizing JK.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Rowling no fixed truth about what sex is seems to
- 10:37Speaker 1: have had a major change from the Atlantic from and
- 10:40Speaker 1: this is from September twelfth, twenty twenty three, from feminists
- 10:43Speaker 1: to right wing conspiracists. Interesting what Naomi Wolf's odyssey can
- 10:48Speaker 1: teach us about seeing patterns where they don't exist? Now
- 10:51Speaker 1: this was all about her skepticism about the vaccines, the
- 10:57Speaker 1: mRNA vaccine, about the Pfizer j How about this? So
- 11:02Speaker 1: this is from when? Is this from October thirtieth, twenty
- 11:06Speaker 1: twenty four. So very recently, liberal icon Naomi Wolf endorses Trump.
- 11:16Speaker 1: He's being more inclusive. So this is interesting, isn't it?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Liberal icon and feminist author Naomi Wolf endorsed former President
- 11:33Speaker 1: Donald Trump, highlighting how he was being more inclusive. Where
- 11:38Speaker 1: did she say this. She said this in an interview
- 11:40Speaker 1: with Steve Bannon, the host of The war Room podcast.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Wolfe added that the Republican Party had become the Unity
- 11:48Speaker 1: Party and Trump was leading it. So she had previously
- 11:53Speaker 1: worked as a presidential campaign advisor for former President Bill
- 11:56Speaker 1: Clinton and former Vice President at Al Gore. Now she's
- 11:59Speaker 1: a sporting Trump. Now she's support she's supporting Trump. Now
- 12:02Speaker 1: she supported them in the election. So she is now out.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Now the left hates her. She's a far right, right wing,
- 12:10Speaker 1: conspiracist right. So I find this very interesting, and it's
- 12:14Speaker 1: a trend I think we've been saying, along with say
- 12:17Speaker 1: like toulci An, Rfk Junior and Elon Musk and others.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Brett Weinstein a bunch that the left, the progressives, the
- 12:28Speaker 1: lunacy of wokeism, of progressivism, of cultural Marxism is driving
- 12:33Speaker 1: people away. It's driving liberals away. All those people who
- 12:37Speaker 1: just identified as being on the left and being liberals
- 12:40Speaker 1: eventually had to just acknowledge the fact that the Democrat
- 12:46Speaker 1: Party or modern leftism generally across the West is no
- 12:51Speaker 1: longer liberal it's illiberal, and if they want to speak
- 12:54Speaker 1: their mind, they've got to go to the other side.
- 12:57Speaker 1: That's where the unity is, that's where the heterodonty is.
- 13:00Speaker 1: That's where you don't have to agree with everybody on everything,
- 13:03Speaker 1: but you just find shared things that you agree with.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I just thought this was fascinating. When I was researching this.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I saw that I saw this from Naomi Wolf and
- 13:14Speaker 1: read it and went, boy, she's gone. She's gone one eighty.
- 13:17Speaker 1: It's another one that's gone one eighty. Another person who's
- 13:21Speaker 1: been driven away from the left. Very interesting, but a
- 13:24Speaker 1: couple of years ago probably would have given more, you know,
- 13:28Speaker 1: more pause for thought for HBO, especially since HBO was
- 13:31Speaker 1: putting out some pretty woke shit back then as well.
- 13:34Speaker 1: But no worries now, no worries feels like something. I mean,
- 13:39Speaker 1: obviously we've seen Trump win, right, that's a major thing,
- 13:42Speaker 1: not just when, but when in a landside in the
- 13:45Speaker 1: sense that you got the popular vote, he got the
- 13:47Speaker 1: electro College vote, he's got the Senate, he's got the House,
- 13:51Speaker 1: he's got everything. Seems to be signalingish like finally a
- 13:56Speaker 1: real concrete shift, a serious shift. You know, we have
- 14:00Speaker 1: the weird I mean, we're still going to get the
- 14:02Speaker 1: strange odyssees, like where is it, like the jaguar thing, whatever,
- 14:08Speaker 1: whateff this is, You're still gonna get it. But it
- 14:13Speaker 1: feels like we've maybe reached an inflection point where it's
- 14:17Speaker 1: just enough now. Everybody just says, like corporations look at
- 14:20Speaker 1: the they look at the popular moat and say, well,
- 14:22Speaker 1: there's more there's more non crazy people than there are
- 14:26Speaker 1: crazy people now, so maybe we'll maybe we'll just go
- 14:29Speaker 1: back to to to marketing to the non crazy people
- 14:33Speaker 1: because there's more of them. I don't know, but it's
- 14:36Speaker 1: interesting anyway. That's all I'm going to say about that.
