    enMarch 22, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Discussing Twitter suspending Babylon Bee's accountThe hosts support free speech and believe humor is essential for addressing reality, even if it means losing a social media account.

      The hosts of the CTI show, Andy and DJ Cruz, engage in a casual and humorous discussion about various topics, including unexpected boners, hot teachers, and current events. They share their opinions freely, sometimes provocatively, and encourage equal hatred towards everyone. In this specific episode, they discuss Twitter suspending the Babylon Bee account for naming Rachel Levine, a transgender Biden administration official, as "man of the year." The hosts support the Babylon Bee's right to express their opinion, even if it means losing their Twitter account. They believe that truth should not be considered hate speech and that humor is an essential tool for addressing the reality of the world around them.

    • Respecting Trans Rights but Drawing LinesWhile respecting trans rights, it's important to draw lines regarding cross-gender competition and use of facilities based on biological sex. Merit should determine political appointments.

      While respecting the rights and freedom of the trans community, it's important to draw lines when it comes to cross-gender competition and use of facilities based on biological sex. The speaker believes that the trans community should be free to live as they choose without harassment, but disagrees with their participation in women's sports or use of women's facilities. The speaker also criticizes the political appointments of individuals like Rachel Levine, arguing that merit should be the determining factor for positions. The speaker advocates for open dialogue and the ability to draw lines without being labeled as bullies.

    • Freedom to express truth without censorship or bullyingSpeak up against censorship and bullying, challenge intimidation, and stand firm against paid agitators and hostile social media environments.

      Individuals should have the freedom to express their truth without fear of censorship or bullying, particularly in the context of women's spaces and sports. The speaker believes that silence and inaction have allowed certain groups to impose their will, and that speaking up and refusing to be intimidated is necessary to challenge this. Additionally, there is a concern about the role of paid agitators and social media platforms in silencing voices and inciting attacks. The real world is increasingly preferred over social media due to the hostile online environment, and individuals who speak their truth are encouraged to stand firm and not let fear silence them.

    • Individual and Collective Action Necessary for Social ChangeIndividuals must take responsibility and speak the truth in real-life situations to prevent harmful agendas, while collective action is needed to address larger social issues.

      Both collective action and individual action are necessary to address social issues. The speaker expresses frustration with the current state of affairs, where people rely on others to speak up while neglecting to take action themselves. This issue is exemplified by the lack of individual intervention in situations involving gender issues and the normalization of political correctness. Additionally, the speaker criticizes the censorship of alternative viewpoints and scientific information on social media platforms. A specific example given is the nomination of Judge Katanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, who has a history of lenient treatment of child porn offenders. The speaker urges individuals to take responsibility and speak the truth in real-life situations to prevent the encroachment of harmful agendas.

    • Normalizing child pornography under the guise of accepting certain groupsHistorical precedent warns against normalizing child pornography, protecting children and societal values is crucial.

      There is a concerning trend towards normalizing and even promoting child pornography under the guise of accepting certain groups, specifically those identified as "minor attracted people" (MAPs). This is part of a larger effort to demoralize society and remove societal morals, ultimately leading towards a one-world government where individual identity is erased. The speaker emphasizes that this issue is not about political ideology, but about the protection of children and maintaining societal values. The historical precedent of the Weimar Republic in Germany serves as a warning of the potential consequences of allowing this trend to continue unchecked. It is crucial for individuals to understand this issue and stand against it, as it could lead to significant social unrest and harm to children.

    • Concerns over normalization of controversial practicesIndividuals must speak out against harmful practices and condemn those who promote them to protect individual rights and societal wellbeing.

      There are concerns about the potential normalization of controversial practices and beliefs within certain communities, and the potential consequences of this normalization. These concerns extend to the political sphere, with discussions surrounding the confirmation of judicial nominees and the potential shift in societal standards. It's important for individuals to speak out against harmful practices and to condemn those who promote them, as these actions can have serious consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Additionally, there are ongoing debates about the role of censorship and the potential dangers of normalizing certain behaviors, particularly those related to child safety and wellbeing. Ultimately, it's crucial for individuals to stay informed and engaged in these discussions to ensure the protection of individual rights and the wellbeing of future generations.

    • Importance of making decisions based on facts and dataFocus on facts and data for informed decisions, avoid emotions and desires, prioritize truth for personal and societal progress.

      Making decisions based on facts and data, rather than emotions or desires, is crucial for personal and societal progress. The speaker emphasizes the importance of looking at statistical facts and understanding the truth, even if it contradicts one's beliefs or desires. They criticize the tendency to pretend things are a certain way for social justice causes, and instead encourage a focus on the actual data. The speaker also criticizes the cycle of creating problems and offering fake solutions, which they believe has been perpetuated by certain political parties. They also discuss the Hunter Biden laptop controversy and the media's handling of it, emphasizing the importance of reporting facts accurately and not spreading misinformation. Overall, the message is that truth and facts should be prioritized over emotions and desires in order to make informed decisions and progress as a society.

    • American involvement in Russian disinformationThe speaker challenges the simplistic view of Russian disinformation and raises concerns about past instances of Americans orchestrating negative narratives against Russia, as well as potential cover-ups and selective reporting in the media regarding Ukraine and the Biden family.

      The current situation in Ukraine and allegations of Russian disinformation are not as simple as they seem. The speaker argues that there have been instances in the past where efforts to make Russia look bad were actually orchestrated by Americans, specifically regarding the Steele dossier and allegations against Trump. Now, with new information coming to light about the Biden family's dealings in Ukraine, there are concerns about a cover-up and selective reporting by the media. The speaker also raises questions about the FBI's handling of evidence and the potential for conflicts of interest in political appointments. Overall, the speaker encourages a more critical and nuanced perspective on geopolitical issues and the role of media in shaping public opinion.

    • Manipulating public perception and covering up wrongdoingsPowerful individuals and entities use false info, cyber attacks, and even threaten nuclear war to manipulate perception and hide wrongdoings. Stay informed and skeptical.

      Certain powerful individuals and entities are going to great lengths to manipulate public perception and cover up potential wrongdoings. They are using various tactics, including spreading false information, cyber attacks, and even threatening nuclear war. These actions highlight the need for increased vigilance and skepticism towards information sources. Additionally, it's crucial to recognize that those involved may have no qualms about engaging in morally reprehensible behaviors and may have significant resources at their disposal. This situation underscores the importance of staying informed and understanding the true nature of the adversaries we face.

    • Frustration with Politics and Acknowledging Remarkable AchievementsPolitical events can teach us valuable lessons, even if we're skeptical or frustrated. Don't overlook remarkable achievements, no matter how small they may seem.

      The speaker expresses frustration with political figures, using a personal anecdote about being kicked out of Trump's club, and warns against ignoring important lessons from political events. He also shares his curiosity about a young girl breaking the world record for assembling a Mr. Potato Head toy in record time. Despite his initial skepticism, he acknowledges her achievement and reflects on the potential challenges she may have faced. The conversation also touches on the idea of personal records and accomplishments, with the speaker sharing his own musings on potential records he could break. Throughout the discussion, the speaker maintains a conversational and often humorous tone.

    • Creating a Positive EnvironmentStrive to make a difference, make it harder for troubling stories to come to light, and focus on creating a positive environment

      The world is filled with disturbing stories, and it's up to each of us to make it a better place. The discussion touched upon the increase in testosterone levels over the past two decades and the impact it may have on society. However, the focus should not be on the negative, but rather on how we can contribute positively. If we all make it harder for troubling stories to surface, we can shift the narrative and create a more positive environment. So, let's strive to make a difference, make it harder for troubling stories to come to light, and focus on making the world a better place.
