Ethical Bot Pornhub
00:06:11
|
|
| It's a proposal from some Canadians, and they've actually started a petition saying, Canada has a nuclear weapon in the trade war. | |
| Pornhub. | |
| So I guess, you know, if you're talking about a bomb, I guess we could have some blonde bombshells that they want to withhold from us. | |
| I didn't realize that Pornhub was Canadian. | |
| And actually, it began in Montreal. | |
| It was bought in 2023 by a company that goes by the name of Ethical Capital Partners. | |
| They bought Ethical Bot Pornhub. | |
| And it turns out, why do they call it Ethical? | |
| Well, it turns out it's owned by an Orthodox rabbi, Solomon Friedman. | |
| Oh, it gets even more interesting. | |
| This is far more interesting, actually, than the fact that you've got some people saying, hey, let's cut off Pornhub to America. | |
| By the way, in between all of this stuff is MindGeek. | |
| So MindGeek was the owner of Pornhub. | |
| And then I think there was another holding company above it that had a whole bunch of porn sites. | |
| That all got that company, that holding company, was bought by ethical capital partners. | |
| Business Insider headline for March of 2023, the fund that just bought Pornhub owner MindGeek won't say who's running the company due to, quote, unfortunate stigma, unquote, says the report. | |
| The unfortunate stigma of being a pornographer? | |
| This rabbi. | |
| It was profiled in the Jewish Independent. | |
| A rabbi who, they said the headline was, the rabbi who owns Pornhub. | |
| Said he was ordained an Orthodox rabbi, but his day job is a lawyer, and his passion is making pornography. | |
| Hmm. | |
| Well, hence the name, I guess. | |
| Ethical. | |
| So, yeah, it's... | |
| It's kind of interesting. | |
| You know, Oliver Anthony was on the Joe Rogan program a couple of months ago. | |
| And they had a discussion about that very thing. | |
| In that business. | |
| I believe it's one-third of internet traffic worldwide or something bonkers like that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Isn't it something like that? | |
| It should be more. | |
| Let's find out what it is. | |
| What's the percentage? | |
| And everybody's like, I don't know where it's coming from. | |
| It's not me. | |
| I've never even seen one of these films. | |
| That stuff's terrible for people. | |
| It's terrible for some people. | |
| I gave that up. | |
| I think it's like Adderall. | |
| Some people can handle it. | |
| That is one thing I had to give up. | |
| Some people think they can. | |
| Yeah, because it's... | |
| I don't know. | |
| It does disconnect you from reality in many ways. | |
| I think a lot of the weird perversion we see coming out... | |
| Now at this point you read about... | |
| I mean, I even reference some of it in the song, of course, but you read about a lot of the weird things that people are doing that maybe wouldn't have been accepted 100 years ago. | |
| I think... | |
| People go down these rabbit holes with porn, and they start off with the video with the milkman, and by the end of it, it's like, where did I end? | |
| It's almost like a drug. | |
| People have to keep chasing that thrill, and it takes them down very destructive rabbit holes, if you will. | |
| It definitely can for some people. | |
| I have no issue with anybody watching it, but I hate to read about some of the things that it does to people. | |
| It ruins marriages and that kind of thing. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I think a lot of things ruin people. | |
| I think they also should be legal. | |
| Sure, yeah. | |
| Like, alcohol ruins people. | |
| I like the fact that bars are legal. | |
| Shit, I own a bar. | |
| Alcohol is legal. | |
| I like it. | |
| It's not good for everybody, though. | |
| Some people drink alcohol and they lose their fucking mind. | |
| And it's not good for them, whether it's genetically or whatever it is. | |
| They can't have a drink. | |
| I like a drink. | |
| You know, and I support your right to do whatever you want. | |
| Like, you know, I think... | |
| If cocaine was legal, the same amount of people would probably do it, and it would be real. | |
| You'd get pure cocaine. | |
| It'd probably be better. | |
| We'd probably have better music. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Maybe we could have better podcasts if Spotify wasn't so focused on having somebody who is promoting destructive behavior to people, which is what he's doing. | |
| Look, I don't believe that prohibition, as I've said over and over again, prohibition doesn't solve anything. | |
| It certainly doesn't solve addiction issues. | |
| It doesn't solve sin issues and everything. | |
| But just from your own personal standpoint, do you want to be enslaved to something? | |
| That's what addiction is. | |
| Why don't we just start, instead of calling it addiction, Let's call it slavery. | |
| Slavery to sex. | |
| Slavery to drugs. | |
| Slavery to alcohol. | |
| Which is what Joe Rogan is selling. | |
| Which is why they pay him something like $25 million a year. | |
| And they won't even let me on Spotify. | |
| Because he's selling this slavery to you. | |
| Slavery of your mind. | |
| Slavery of your spirit, of your soul. | |
| All kinds of slavery. | |
| Oh yeah, some people can't handle it. | |
| I can see these people in the gutter. | |
| I'm not one of them. | |
| Oh, I can handle it. | |
| Those are the lies that you tell yourself. | |
| Those are the lies that the demons tell you. | |
| But they're not true. | |
| They're absolutely not true. | |
| So Pornhub is the most visited site in the U.S. with more than 3 million views a month. | |
| And so, again... | |
| That was Oliver Anthony. | |
| That was about the time, I guess, that he had his, you know, had everything with it. | |
|
Ilo's X-Rated Empire
00:01:39
|
|
| I don't know, how long ago was that? | |
| Was that last summer even, maybe? | |
| Richmond, north of Richmond. | |
| A petition has since been launched urging Canadian authorities to block Pornhub as a peaceful yet powerful response to the trade dispute. | |
| Please do. | |
| Please do. | |
| New Yorkers, meanwhile, were aghast of the prospect of losing Pornhub, whose parent company is Montreal-based entertainment conglomerate ILO. | |
| They don't mention the fact that ILO is owned by Ethical. | |
| And who owns Ethical? | |
| ILO owns a dozen popular X-rated sites. | |
| If they take away my access to Pornhub, I'm moving out of the U.S., said one person to the Post. | |
| I think this is jokes. | |
| Canadians wouldn't do that to us, would they? | |
| said another. | |
| I thought they were supposed to be nice. | |
| I thought we were supposed to be friends until we had Trump in anyway. | |
| Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky. | |
| I'm so tired of wearing these same T-shirts everywhere for years. | |
| You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better. | |
| And I could... | |
| If only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. | |
| But he told me to get lost. | |
| Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com. | |
| And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. | |
| At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred. | |
| Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. | |
| I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events. | |
