This came out in 2019 this is before the The series yeah this transculture war is Really really were highlighted but but Now here's the part you you when they Say nobody is grooming yeah that's the Part when you see stuff like this as a Parent this stuff is you know getting Into schools this stuff is getting into Kids reading this what is a Five-year-old think about when they read Something like this the eight-year-old a Ten-year-old if if if you like if if I Were to tell you right now as a kid what Phrase do you remember your mother or Your father telling you that you believe Till today positive what phrase what did Your mom or dad tell you that till today You remember my mom would always tell me You can be anything you want to be just As long as you're give it your best okay Tom my parents are big on um honesty Okay always tell me the truth even if You've done something tell me the truth How many how many times did they say That to you how many times did they say It was it was constant it was it was Constant my brother and I were only About uh less than two years apart we Would get into Mischief things would Happen I remember six seven years old We'd break something and so it was Always or somebody gets hurt Somebody's Crying and it's like tell us the truth Tell me the truth and I can remember the
Punishment was always slightly moderated If you told the truth if they had to dig It out of us or one of us was lying it Was always the punishment was a little Heavy at the belt for what no for what You did Or for And for the lie it was like a Compounding effect but if we told the Truth but that was always what my Parents say just tell me the truth what Was it was what what was it that was Over and over again for you Rob what was It for you over and over like you heard Over and over again I I don't even know why to this day but It just sticks in my head my dad used to Say no matter where you go there you are I have no idea what that means I if You're lost you're somewhere that's a Quote from Buckaroo Banzai I thought That was Austin Powers hey there you are Do I know you know but there you are Adam how about yourself my mom I mean Again you always told me to try us but My mom is like the the most loving Caring person she would always say Um I don't care who it is it could be the CEO or the janitor you have to treat Them the same like you have to treat People the same way you have to do this You have to treat people right treat People right treat people that you want
To be treated the Golden Rule treat People right treat people right and that Served me okay so here's here's a Question for you I want to flip it on You you ready some of you already know Where I'm going with this what if Adam Your mom said Adam if you're gay it's Okay What if your mom said Adam if you like Boys it's okay what if you actually I Want you to think about Adam if you're Gay just tell me yeah well what if she Told you that a thousand times over and Over and over again now you may say I Would still be straight because I love Women right but let me tell you Something that's a thousand times that Thought is in your head as a Six-year-old eight-year-old ten-year-old Confirmation if your mom and dad told You Tom If you like boys you can tell me son Like can you imagine even that phrase Like preemptively before you even said Instantly even the kid given a sign like They're saying anything like here's a Question what is the advantage of a kid Reading this book What is the advantage of kid reading This book that's what I want to know What is the advantage if somebody is In a climate like this of where we are Today you think people feel Uncomfortable being gay today versus
What it was 30 years ago no like so so This is the part where you get a Bill Maher that comes out saying why are you Trying to You know increase why so there's a video I'm gonna send it to you uh uh a Rob if He can share this where a child exposes Uh his mom okay it's a very I don't know If you guys have seen this video or not Where there are parents now where They're proud to have this and talk About this and say look my kids are gay It's a bragging right If the the Asian father says you know my Son said did we play this clip before or No I want to show this to you as well Rob if you can see this clip I just sent To you look how the kid is like and the Mom gets a little bit upset just look at This reaction I think this is the same Video Yeah let's see if this is the one or not Watch this But but God that's fine keep talking say what You're saying My mom doesn't matter if I'm up if I am Gay or a lesbian or any of that she Doesn't care all she cares about is that I'm a part of it And if I'm not a part of it she'll try To convince me to um get join it because I what are you sorry though Facts that I would convince you to join
What the hell should put the qia plus Committed That's crazy You saw the mom's reaction a kid is not Going to say something like that just Because he thinks about that even a kid Is sitting there saying dude my mom just Wants to be a part of this organization Right there's a problem here there's This there's this apparent I don't know If you've seen this one uh uh um let me Let me see this one if I can find you Have to see this one uh it's it's I'll Find a clip to show it to you but you See a book like this you see what Happens it gives credibility to parents Tom what are your thoughts when you see Something like this Look the price of free speech is Free Speech that's my first thought and my Second second thought is each Organization each group is going to Publish books that it wants to read and Lgbtq they're going to publish books They want to read and books for their Kids and that's that's the long and Short of it Um I feel you know you It exposes the feeling his mom is Telling him one thing but he's feeling a Different thing and there's some Conflict in that kid but but just Thinking about even giving your thoughts On it do you feel uncomfortable
Well yeah because you know nowadays Um you know I I am the unprotected enemy A you know white male Canadian descent Though may I be you know I'm you know if I say anything too much I will catch the Most heat so I never moderate or lie About my positions but I'm very careful About expressing them Just say one thing that you know Um a you know to use the alphabet Analogy there's nothing wrong with being Gay and let before we go down this Rabbit Hole of like these guys are Anti-gay it's if that's who you are as An adult God bless you we have gay Friends lesbian friends all good like Very vocal I go out in South Beach I Know all they're all out there the Roberts decision says you can marry do What you got to do but I think the the Resounding uh effort from from at least Our narrative is like leave the goddamn Kids alone with this kind of stuff Specifically the fact that Rob pointed Out that this book is aimed at third Grade and under So what is that eight years and under so What are you talking five six seven Eight-year-olds why is sex and and Gender and identity and all this even a Thing at this age now we can have the Argument or conversation of when do you Start teaching these kind of things is It is it Middle School is it high school
Is it do the kids talk amongst Themselves or should it be a class Should it be booked should it be the Free market but I think we're all in Agreement that kindergarteners should Not be figuring it out if they're bi or Not that's not a thing that they should Be uh developing at that age like for Instance when I was in kindergarten I Wanted to be a dinosaur okay so if Someone was like it's okay to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex that's who you are on The inside it's like okay at what point Is does it go to all right I want to be Peter Pan I want to be a cowboy in Indian I want to be an athlete I want to Be a princess when does reality and Fantasy kind of take over especially When you have a kid because you have Wild imaginations and I think it's just It just leave the kids alone uh play This clip play this is the problem Though this is the problem right here Play this clip Are here today because we have a trans Trans child after six years old at three She was not sleeping very well she was Waking up every single night it was a Lot more than just a toddler waking up And one day I picked her up from daycare All the teachers had said Asher told us that she's a chi and Ashley comes around the corner and I Said hey there's my beautiful daughter

This stuff happening a little awkward a Little weird I wanted to kind of share This book when I saw it I thought other People would probably relate to the Concerns some parents are going through You know you know how they say back in The day when it comes to TV and media That you gotta win the central time zone You ever heard that before yes it's not About The LA's of the world the New York Cities of the world but like win the Central time zone win Iowa right win Michigan win Ohio and that's where your Audience is and I feel like there's a There's a metaphor here to what's going On here you know what should be Mainstream in America and shouldn't be Contentious or a bad thing to say is Just just normal traditional Family Values father mother kids happy families That should be normal And the the problem to all the the the The The Allies to use the word a over there Uh is that you're trying to Basically make this type of stuff Mainstream and you can make that Argument by why this shouldn't be Mainstream but also respect the fact That you can be who you want to be but Stop indoctrinating kids and that's what I think essentially your biggest Argument I have I bro again
One day this stuff is going to come out That when I I mean it's going to come Out what some places I partied at and What I did I I'm I'm not sitting here Telling you I walk on water I'm not Sitting here if people partied with me And they asked what was Pat like to Party with some of the stories you're Not going to believe to say Pat really Did that with yes I've had a lot of fun You know prior to choosing to change my Life I did a lot of stuff in partying in In in the military in Tennessee in Kentucky and Vegas all over the place I Had a lot of fun I've always loved women And I've had a great time with it but I've always gotten along with anybody Straight gay whatever I had nicknames The Greek God because every time I told Him I'm a Syrian they said you're Sicilian I said forget about it I am Greek I can't explain to you what a Syrian is because it was so oh you're Syrian no Assyrian that four minute of Explanation with a Syrian is I got tired Of it yeah well you know what I am Sicilian you're right I got the nose I Got ears I got to look I'm Sicilian Let's just finalize right anywhere in The bottom of the booth So this is not about judgment man this Is about leave the kids alone but let The kids figure out for themselves I had No idea what I was going to do until
Many many years later on in life while I Had a brain to really think and that Didn't happen until many years later This kid if I if you were to judge me on What I'm going to do my life in high School at a 1.8 GPA I was a lost cause But it took me a minute to figure myself Out at 25 but a person wants to do that Later on in life let him do it don't put These things in their mind early you Confused the hell out of a kid when you Do that so if you like this clip and you Want to watch another one click right Here and if you want to watch the entire Podcast click right here [Music]
