Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Most of my knowledge at Jason Aldean comes from the
fact that for years we've had a life sized cut
out of him in the studio wearing a Barack Obama mask.
We are heard of him as Barack al Dean. He
is Obama. He is a Multiplepole time winner of the
Entertainer of the Year. He is Country music is by
far the biggest music format in America, and he is

(00:23):
among the very biggest of stars. He also super giant
megastar who generates tons and tons of money, which is
relevant to this story. He is also one of those
rare human beings that guys want to be m and
girls want to be with him as opposed to you know,
sometimes not being the case. Um. He's also the guy
that was on stage when that lunatic and Vegas murdered

(00:43):
all those people. But yeah, I thought so, yeah, terrible,
terrible at any rate. His publicity firm of seventeen years,
Green Room, which is based in Nashville, has fired him,
essentially resigned following and I'm quoting now from Variant, which
is allegedly the Bible of show business. Following well, the

(01:06):
headline is Jason Alden's PR firm resigns after wife's transphobic comments. Okay,
so in the headline, Variety, and I'm looking you right
in the eye. You work there, you're an editor, there,
you're a publisher, Variety. I'm calling you out. So your
headline says his wife's comments were transphobic, which is code

(01:27):
for hateful and and and mean and dangerous that sort
of thing. Well, we'll let you all be the judge.
According to Report and Billboard, green Room coner Tyne Parish
did not say her comments were the reason for the split,
but the timing does seem does not seem coincidental. Then
he makes them nice, uh statements about how great it's
been working with Jason Alden. We aren't the best people

(01:50):
for the gig anymore, but we'll always be fans of
his music. Blah blah blah. All right, let's gown and
get down to the nitty gritty. August post on Instagram,
Brittany Aldean, who has a couple of million followers, posted
a BEFOREIGN makeup video with the caption quote, I'd really
like to thank my parents for not changing my gender
when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this

(02:12):
girly life. Jason himself responded in the comments with laughing
emoji and wrote, l M a O. I'm glad they
didn't because you and I wouldn't have worked out. So,
I mean, obviously, that's because according to the queer theory people,
the gender theory lunatics who are trying to teach your

(02:33):
little kids this stuff. If if I, as a heterosexual man,
will only consider sexual relations with a female, that makes
me a bigot? Okay, so is that the problem her?
There's more. There's more is her original tweet them getting
the most attention or his comment getting the most attention? Uh,

(02:55):
that's the just let me keep going. Um, because that
was bad enough because remember the gender the queer theory
people will tell you that's bigoted, hateful saying to your life,
I'm glad you're not a dude, yea, or it might
not have worked out. It's just that seems like a
reasonable thing to say, and that's a funny thing, and

(03:15):
n of the planet would agree. But that two percent
is so dangerous and vicious they have terrified people in
a compliance now. Three days later, Brittany wrote advocating for
the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love
and calling it gender affirming care is one of the
worst evils. Love is protecting your child until they are
mature enough and as an adult to make their own

(03:38):
life decisions. Again, genital mutilation of children and calling it
gender firm and care is one of the worst evils.
Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough
as an adult to make their own life decisions. That
was branded as so horrifically transfolk ache and declared by

(04:01):
Variety in the headline to be transphobic. Whatever that means
that the PR Firm fired their client, the most successful, uh,
one of the most successful musical artists currently inhabiting planet Earth.
That's a heck of a thing. So, now, while I
appreciated your recognizing the absurdity of, you know, objecting to

(04:23):
the original couple of tweets, and granted the third one
is one that really left no mistake how she feels.
Um the PR Firm walked away from huge piles of money,
so they obviously don't think it's absurd. They danced to
that beat, which is unbelievable. Do you think they're being

(04:44):
overly cautious or did they make the wise decision in
the current climate. Well, in the third choice is that
some of their staffers are the woke radical types and
we're actually outraged because they've bought that bizarre set of theories.
And when's the next time you see Jason al Dean

(05:06):
as the musical artist on Saturday Night Live or during
doing Times Square on the Today Show or whatever. Probably
not anytime soon. Yeah yeah, um, so I read this article.
It's an historial. His wife has two million followers two
point two. Yeah, the rounding error is two hundred thousand

(05:28):
people there. Yeah wow. Uh so read a great uh
editorial by a gay fellow on this topic. More or
less that At the website of America's largest gay activist organization,
you can read the following statement of purpose the Human
Rights Campaign and visions the world where every member of
the l g B t Q plus family has the
freedom to live their truth without fear and with equality

(05:49):
under the law. Eight points out. Years ago, gay magazines
and organizations routinely conveyed the message that as a gay man,
I was part of something called the gay community. Then
at some point, when I wasn't looking, I apparently he
was adopted into something called the l g B t
Q plus community. And I find that to be a
forced marriage. Um, he says. You know, old game guys
like myself ended up chained at the hip to lesbians

(06:11):
and bisexuals. But now we're also intimately lassoed the queers,
which can mean anything to individuals who would and identify
themselves with some new fangled label like non binary or
gender queer and yes, transgender people. This even though homosexuality
and transgenderism are too utterly different phenomena point which you
never hear anybody say, oh no, you don't dare, but

(06:34):
this guy did as a gay activist. Human kind has
been familiar with homosexuality since the dawn of history. Transgenderism,
in the rare cases in which it's genuine and not imagined,
is also founded in something real, namely gender dysphoria, a
psychiatric affliction that makes men think they're women and makes
women think their men. Keyword think Alas, what we're dealing
with in today's woke world isn't just gender dysphoria, Well,

(06:57):
we're dealing with jet transgender I d b Oology, according
to which a man who thinks he's a woman isn't
suffering from a mental disorder, he actually is a woman
and always has been, and a woman who thinks she's
a man really is a man and always has been.
Such people were born in the wrong body, that's in quotes.
The sex they will quote assigned at birth on the

(07:18):
basis of their genitalia is the wrong one self evidently,
but belonging to the other sex is just the chef's
specialty on a very long menu. Other options include claiming
to be non binary, either neither male nor female, or
gender fluid meaning male one day female the next. In
the new woke world that accepts such fantasies as reality,
the concept of sexual orientation lose all loses all of

(07:40):
its meaning because a gay or straight identity is firmly
tethered to biological reality, and biological reality, in the view
of trans ideology, is meaningless. Indeed, the current trans line
on same sex attraction and opposite sex attraction is that
both are transphobic, That it's bigotry for a straight man
or a lesbie and for example, to refuse to sleep

(08:02):
with a trans woman who was a biological man. So again,
lesbian who says, no, I'm attracted to women, meaning like
phiologically women, not people who say they're women. I like
women you are a bigot and the hater for saying
that it's it's it's complicated notion, but I'm sure that's true. Yeah,

(08:28):
And he goes into the sky rocketing trend among less
among I'm sorry, uh, adolescent girls who have decided they
are transgender. And oh man, I've read a couple of
pieces lately from there's this gal who it touched my
heart in particular because she's been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome,
which my daughter has, which is a mild part of

(08:51):
the autism spectrum. But it can make you. It can
make life very very difficult. It's difficult to relate to
other people. It's very hard to have friends. It frequently
goes around with anxiety and depression no c D. Because
you don't fit in and you know it. Um And
she said, she unquestioned. She latched onto every identity she

(09:12):
could think of to try to figure out why she
was so unhappy. And her editorial said, if somebody had
offered her, because she's in her twenties at this point
as an adolescent, if somebody had offered her you're actually
a dude, she would have latched onto that immediately. And
she says, not only because she was desperate to figure
out who she was. But that would have immediately come

(09:35):
with and I've made this point before, a wave of
new friends and supporters who would rally around her, who
would tell her, you're doing the right thing, your noble,
you're great. And as a lonely kid with Asperger's, she
would have been so desperate for that she would have
done anything, Uh, don't doubt it to keep that affirmation

(09:57):
coming in. Certainly you couldn't blame anybody for for enjoying
that at the beginning. But at some point if you
decide no, I'm not sure about this, it would be
really hard to pull the plug at that point. Yes,
oh yeah, because the activists are whisking me along. You know.
There's a heartbreaking moment from raising my daughter that I've

(10:18):
I'm not sure I've ever talked about. Um. We were
with my aunt, who is a wonderful person, God rest
her soul, and my aunt asked Caitlin house school gone,
do you have a lot of friends and stuff like that?
And Caitlin said no, not really. And she said, oh,
surely have some friends that you sit with a launch
And Caitlin said, no, I sit alone. I don't really
have any friends, and my aunt was quite sure what

(10:40):
to say, um, and we just kind of quietly changed
the topic. Picture that teenage girl again, suddenly surrounded by
more friends and affection and support than she's ever known
in her life from her peers because she said I

(11:00):
transgender or I'm gender queer or something like that, and
you start to understand how troubled adolescent girls, particularly in
the wake of the pandemic and isolation and the rest
of it, have latched onto this. It is so sad
