Summary
A new study by GLAAD shows that the number of millennials who describe themselves as LGBT allies has fallen nearly in half, and I have a theory about why. Also, trans activist Kian Bexty is in hot water for a tweet about a controversial case involving a man named Jonathan Yaniv.

Hello, my rebels. Today, I look at a study. It came out a few months ago. I didn't see it until
00:00:05.280
yesterday. Conducted by GLAAD, which is a gay rights group, on how support for LGBT politics
00:00:15.560
has fallen in half amongst millennial men. It's fallen from 60-something support to 30-something.
00:00:24.440
I'm shocked by it. I've got a theory, and I hope you'll listen to my theory, and I'd like to hear
00:00:31.200

00:00:49.100
Okay, here's my podcast about this interesting study.
00:00:54.440
Tonight, a survey shows that the number of millennials who describe themselves as LGBT
00:01:13.020
allies has fallen nearly in half. Why? It's December 9th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:19.940
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:25.760
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:29.820
The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:35.680
I came across a survey yesterday. It's a few months old, so it's not breaking news, but I hadn't seen it reported before, so maybe it's news to you like it was news to me.
00:01:51.340
It's an annual survey sponsored by a leading gay activist group in America called GLAD.
00:01:58.420
GLAD was founded in the 1980s, and it stood for Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. GLAD.
00:02:06.360
But they changed it just to GLAD. They no longer spell it out, because they forgot the B and the T in LGBT.
00:02:16.340
B stands for bisexual. You don't hear a lot about bisexuality in sexual politics. It really isn't that different than gay politics.
00:02:24.180
But the T, well, GLAD was missing the T for trans.
00:02:29.260
And that's about the biggest sin around these days. I mean, just the other day, our own Kian Bexty was out in Vancouver at a courtroom there where a trans activist born Jonathan Yaniv, who calls himself Jessica Yaniv, well, he's on trial for weapons offenses.
00:02:45.040
Pretty crazy. He brandished an illegal weapon, a taser, on a YouTube video, so he's been charged with a crime.
00:02:52.660
And as you can see, the name on the courtroom was the Queen versus Jessica Jonathan Yaniv.
00:02:57.880
So, according to the actual court of law, he's known by both names, which is obviously true.
00:03:17.040
So I tell you all this, because whenever Kian would tweet something about the trial, it would be immediately taken down by Twitter.
00:03:26.660
And Kian would get a message saying that unless he deleted that tweet, he would be suspended.
00:03:35.900
And it was for the high crime of misgendering Yaniv, even though that's simply an accurate report of what the courts say and what his own mom calls him.
00:03:47.180
That is when you refer to someone by their former name.
00:03:49.180
But, like I say, that's what the court calls him.
00:03:52.640
Kian was just reporting what other people were saying.
00:03:54.960
But trans politics is so extreme that Twitter literally censored Kian five times.
00:04:02.400
Another reporter named Anna Slatz from the Postmillennial was censored, too.
00:04:06.320
But now you know why GLAAD doesn't spell out its name anymore, gay and lesbian, etc.
00:04:12.460
Because they'd be ripped to shreds by the trans activists because there's no letter T in GLAAD.
00:04:21.040
But first, this survey from a few months ago that I didn't see until yesterday.
00:04:29.620
It's an annual report, a large public opinion survey commissioned by GLAAD, and conducted by a reputable polling firm called Harris.
00:04:39.880
The title Accelerating Acceptance, pretty self-explanatory.
00:04:44.020
They want to accelerate the acceptance of gay rights.
00:04:48.080
So they ask questions that I think are interesting, I think.
00:04:51.960
They ask non-gay people, for example, if they'd be comfortable or uncomfortable in certain situations, having someone gay at your church, seeing gay wedding pictures, learning a family member is gay.
00:05:05.120
Those are good questions, interesting questions.
00:05:07.480
You can see the issue that gets the most pushback is learning my child has a lesson on LGBT history in school.
00:05:18.380
You can see 39% of people would be uncomfortable with that.
00:05:27.280
Is it a child of tender years, kindergarten, grade one, grade two?
00:05:43.280
I think those are important details, don't you?
00:05:45.640
And I'm not surprised that 39% of people are wary, and in fact, I bet the concern is actually higher, that people are shy about telling upholsters something they know is contrary to the fashion.
00:05:57.100
All across Canada and the United States, there is a new fashion of having something called transvestite, or drag queen story time, in schools and libraries with children of very tender years, very young kids.
00:06:20.960
I think most people can be woke about what grown-ups discuss, but those same people could be against the early sexualization of young people talking about sex, either straight or gay.
00:06:35.580
I think that is the source of so much opposition to sex ed curriculums these days.
00:06:45.100
I mean, like the Ontario government's position that there are six genders.
00:06:55.540
But also, why are you talking to grade one kids about sexual things?
00:07:05.940
Here's what's new, or at least what was new to me.
00:07:09.060
Look at the number of millennials who describe themselves as LGBT allies.
00:07:17.980
So just to explain these charts, you can see there's three bars together.
00:07:25.080
The middle line is 2017, and the bottom line in each case, in light blue, is 2018.
00:07:33.160
The number of 18 to 34-year-olds, those are millennials, who are allies.
00:07:40.020
In 2016, 63% of millennials said, I'm an LGBT ally.
00:07:52.280
It's fallen for young millennial women from 65% to 52%.
00:08:01.960
From 62% of young men in 2016 to 40% the next year to just 35% now.
00:08:14.400
See, support for LGBT hasn't plunged like this for all groups.
00:08:21.220
Middle-aged people, senior citizens, they haven't suddenly fallen out with LGBT politics.
00:08:31.380
Senior citizens, who you might think would be less pro-LGBT because they were born and raised in a more traditional era,
00:08:42.000
Why do millennials support LGBT rights less than their own grandparents?
00:08:51.960
With the knowledge that erosion in acceptance was primarily happening among younger males,
00:08:58.280
GLAAD launched a program dedicated to working with the video game industry on LGBTQ inclusion
00:09:04.260
to bring LGBTQ characters and stories to a world where male audiences were consuming content.
00:09:17.100
Which apparently were only invented in 2017 or something.
00:09:22.420
I tell you what, that's not going to make young men more pro-LGBTQ.
00:09:30.160
Imagine having political lecturing imposed on your video games.
00:09:34.920
I don't play video games, but I'm pretty sure that people who do,
00:09:38.540
they do so for escaping from the BS of our real world.
00:09:44.760
Imagine trying to inject woke politics into video games.
00:09:48.780
It's the reason why Star Wars movies have done so poorly lately.
00:09:56.240
We have taken that idea for granted, and this year's results show that the sharp and quick rise
00:10:01.320
in divisive rhetoric in politics and culture is having a negative influence on younger Americans.
00:10:10.380
In fact, GLAAD has a whole campaign to demonize Trump.
00:10:14.980
If you look here, they say hundreds of anti-gay incidents have happened on Trump's watch.
00:10:20.620
All right, maybe not hundreds, but 123 of them.
00:10:28.360
Okay, so I guess they're not actually by Trump.
00:10:30.900
This guy, Joe Walsh, he's an anti-Trump, never-Trumper.
00:10:36.300
How can you blame Trump for what this anti-Trump guy says?
00:10:41.220
Here's a video by PragerU that's Social Conservatives with a YouTube website.
00:10:51.120
First of all, are those actually anti-LGBT incidents?
00:10:54.740
That people are critical of trans-extremism or something?
00:10:58.520
If that's the worst you've got out of a thousand days of Trump, that you got this website here
00:11:09.700
If that's the biggest gripe you can come up with.
00:11:12.040
In fact, Trump appointed an out-of-the-closet gay man, Richard Grinnell, as one of his most
00:11:16.720
senior diplomats in the world, as ambassador to Germany.
00:11:19.300
Here's Trump campaigning in 2016 with a flag that says LGBT right on it.
00:11:27.360
Honestly, can you even remember Trump saying anything about L's or G's or B's or T's?
00:11:34.580
He won't stop talking about J-O-B-S, jobs and trade and getting NATO to pay more and wrestling
00:11:41.380
Do you really think that LGBT issues are even in his top ten?
00:11:46.340
Again, you've got to hate Trump pretty bad to blame anything on him if you're a gay
00:11:52.340
I just don't even think he cares one way or the other, frankly.
00:11:56.680
I think it's pitiful to claim that he's hostile to gays.
00:12:00.920
If you're not comfortable with gays and Jews and Italians and the Irish and Puerto Ricans,
00:12:06.620
you're probably living in the wrong borough if you're from Manhattan.
00:12:13.040
How pitiful that GLAAD is trying to blame him for things.
00:12:17.200
But, of course, so is Canada's media party, mind you.
00:12:21.180
This was a story in Global that I missed when the study came out.
00:12:28.400
We have to think about the Trump effect and how it is legitimizing anti-minority or anti-equality
00:12:36.260
That's a factor that would not just affect LGBTQ2, so now we've got a two in here, issues,
00:12:46.080
In this professor's view, Trump's willingness to speak out against minority groups like the
00:12:51.140
LGBTQ2 community has emboldened American citizens to voice their own discriminatory opinions.
00:13:01.880
Why not go the whole way and blame the Russians?
00:13:05.560
I'm not sure how the blame Trump theory handles the fact that it's millennials who are turning
00:13:18.960
See, this GLAAD survey described millennials as people 18 to 34.
00:13:25.780
So that's people just finishing up high school, going to university or college, or starting
00:13:35.600
I guess if you're at the higher end, like in the 30s, you'd have small kids now, maybe
00:13:39.480
kids in school, maybe joining school sports teams.
00:13:49.780
Well, you heard part of it from the president of GLAAD.
00:13:51.880
They're having woke lectures force-fed to them in video games and everything else, but
00:13:56.920
mainly in the classroom, woke culture on campus, men identifying as women and demanding that
00:14:08.160
You might recall a group a couple of years ago when there was a group protest against Jordan
00:14:13.200
Peterson at the University of Toronto by a bunch of trans activists shouting at him, demanding
00:14:23.160
One of the trans activists even physically assaulted our reporter at the time, Lauren Southern.
00:14:28.760
What do you think other college kids, millennials, think of that?
00:14:34.060
See, you'll notice that all of my commentary has been about LGBT or LGBTQ or LGBTQ2.
00:14:42.780
I didn't say gay or lesbian, just like GLAAD doesn't say gay or lesbian anymore because it's
00:14:55.500
I think that many millennials are allies of gays and lesbians because they largely don't care.
00:15:03.980
There have been some societal changes because of the increasing publicity and prominence of
00:15:11.480
And you can be against that morally, but in practical terms, hasn't been a major imposition.
00:15:20.000
There's plenty of gays and lesbians in sports, for example.
00:15:24.200
There are even some sports that are stereotypically gay.
00:15:29.900
But what about when a trans man, the T in LGBT, when a trans man insists he's a woman, but then
00:15:45.160
Typically, it's some loser who can't cut it as a man competing against men.
00:15:49.540
So, presto, he declares he's a woman, and now he keeps winning because he crushes the girls.
00:15:58.080
Oh, and if you dare to speak out against any of this, you'll be demonized, you'll be punished,
00:16:05.300
Here's a student who was kicked out of a classroom by his teacher for saying,
00:16:13.680
Which, you're saying that there's no such thing as anyone other than male or female.
00:16:18.740
Look, most people don't want to, you know, debate or argue with other students, or certainly
00:16:25.960
That kid was an anomaly, and he had the wits to tape it.
00:16:31.620
Look at this trans student who won a school board vote to force the school to let him change
00:16:39.400
in the girls' changing room with all the girls, to get naked with the girls.
00:16:43.780
Watch his joy, and the joy of the school bureaucrats who come to hug him.
00:16:50.120
Then look at the fear and sorrow in the eyes of a girl who says, well, she changes in there
00:16:57.480
But yeah, she's not sure if she wants to do that anymore.
00:17:03.700
I feel uncomfortable that my privacy is being invaded.
00:17:19.180
As I am a swimmer, I do change multiple times naked in front of the other students in the
00:17:24.920
And I understand that the board has an obligation to all students, but I was hoping that they
00:17:33.700
would go about this in a different way that would also accommodate students such as myself.
00:17:38.560
I think that millennial or generations at Z, the Zoomers, that guy who was kicked out of
00:17:46.440
class and that girl scared to change in the change room, if you ask them what they think
00:17:52.680
of gays or lesbians, the L's and the G's, I don't think they'd care much.
00:17:57.960
But if you ask them what they think of the T's, the trans, I think they might say they're
00:18:06.060
being bullied, politically bullied, socially bullied, and for that young woman, physically
00:18:20.860
And if you ask them if they were still allies of the LGBT, I'm not surprised at all that you
00:18:30.000
But hey, it's easier to blame Donald Trump, isn't it?
00:18:33.660
And just to keep banning anyone who calls Jonathan Yaniv Jonathan or a man, except for
00:18:58.400
Could you please describe the process of acquiring a gun in the City of Toronto?
00:19:08.480
So I would defer to either SDF&A police or legal.
00:19:14.060
So no, I do not know the answer to that question.
00:19:51.740
So, Speaker, it really then, if you could just hold my time for a moment then, please.
00:19:56.740
It really speaks to an issue, I think, that we need to have a better understanding of.
00:20:06.540
That clip was excerpted by the Canadian firearms, one of the firearms groups, because you wouldn't
00:20:16.140
City Hall wants to ban guns, make them tougher to get.
00:20:18.660
But they literally have no idea how to get one now.
00:20:23.100
They just know for sure that whatever it is now isn't enough and they want to do something,
00:20:30.080
Joining us now via Skype from Edmonton is our friend, Lauren Gunter, senior columnist at
00:20:35.280
Lauren, I was deeply embarrassed, but absolutely unsurprised that Toronto City Council is so
00:20:43.120
stupid, and such showboats, and knew less about this matter than the general public in the audience.
00:20:52.820
But that's the whole thing, like declaring a climate emergency.
00:21:01.160
And, you know, this is about we are so smart and so concerned that we know what the solution is,
00:21:09.760
even though we have no idea what the problem, none.
00:21:14.040
And, you know, we don't, we have no idea what the controls are like now, but we know we need
00:21:18.220
more controls, and because we are the most enlightened people who've ever walked the face
00:21:22.420
of the earth, and we're progressive, so our hearts are in the right place, then you can
00:21:29.900
They're about to go after law-abiding gun owners for another time.
00:21:36.020
This is like the third or fourth major time since the early 90s, with no chance that it's
00:21:45.300
Like, they're going to, there's the rumor now out of Ottawa is that they're going to ban
00:21:48.620
a rifle called the AR-15, because this has become the cause celeb of people like the chair
00:22:01.300
It's very, it is owned by almost 100,000 people in Canada, legally registered, owned
00:22:08.660
by almost 100,000 people in Canada, never once used in a violent crime.
00:22:14.700
But they're going to ban it, because that will solve the gun problem.
00:22:20.280
The gun problem in Toronto is based on two things, drug trade and gangs.
00:22:25.120
Now, those probably are one thing put together, but you know what I'm saying.
00:22:31.440
And now they're going to go after duck hunters and sports shooters.
00:22:35.340
I remember in his first election, Mike Harris, who was premier of Ontario for eight years,
00:22:43.620
said, how come it is that anytime someone's killed in a fern bar in downtown Toronto, and
00:22:49.740
that was a famous murder in Toronto in the 90s, how come it is that every time somebody's
00:22:55.980
killed in a fern bar in downtown Toronto, they go after duck hunters in North Bay.
00:23:00.400
And that's exactly what this mentality is all about.
00:23:03.680
We're told, too, that Bob Blair, who is the public safety minister now in charge of the
00:23:11.700
gun file, has said that they're just going to ban a whole bunch of guns by ordering counsel,
00:23:19.580
They're not going to debate this in parliament.
00:23:21.500
They're not going to call witnesses in the committee.
00:23:25.460
The cabinet is simply so intelligent, and it's made up of people exactly like that group
00:23:30.420
They're so intelligent that they can know what we need and just dictate it.
00:23:35.180
And this, you know, you want to understand why there is frustration with the Liberals outside
00:23:46.360
You know, it's funny, you mentioned that as far as you can find, not a single violent
00:23:57.020
I've even asked John Lott, the firearms scholar, if he had any information.
00:24:06.180
And I don't know the gang scene very well, but I follow on Twitter the Toronto Police Operations
00:24:13.240
Twitter feed, which is sort of like listening to the police scanner, but not as exciting.
00:24:22.580
Every day, another shooting, one, two, three people.
00:24:32.320
And I can assure you, they're not using the long arms, the long rifles and shotguns.
00:24:41.160
It could be worse than we're used to in Canada.
00:24:44.600
But the south side of Chicago, about a 14 square block area in the south side of Chicago
00:24:50.740
will have as many as 3,000 shootings this year.
00:24:56.860
No, but I'm saying that, you know what, it's bad.
00:24:59.580
But one of the things we have to keep in mind as Canadians when we're talking about gun control
00:25:04.420
is that even at our worst, we aren't anywhere near what it's like in the United States or
00:25:13.560
The Russians have an awful lot of gun violence as well.
00:25:16.500
My point is that we shouldn't overstate the problem because then that is, that's the fake
00:25:27.560
I guess what I was driving at is there are violence, there's gun violence quite frequently
00:25:33.600
in Toronto, but it is never with the rifles and the shotguns that they're seeking to go
00:25:42.500
I guess they just have the same word gun in them, but they don't care because I think
00:25:48.040
they sort of like taunting farmers and ranchers because they like the pushback so they can
00:25:53.760
say to their fancy Toronto and Montreal voters, look, we've antagonized those rednecks.
00:26:04.840
So we know we were right because they acted in a hostile, hotheaded manner in return.
00:26:10.580
I mean, you and I talked about this one time before.
00:26:13.360
Michael Warnick, who was the clerk of the Privy Council during the Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:26:17.840
SNC-Lavalin scandal, once gave this testimony to the House of Commons Justice Committee, was
00:26:28.800
There's a real threat of outbreak of violence and almost like revolution.
00:26:36.000
But these guys had thought that the Yellow Vest protests, there were protesters who are
00:26:41.820
driving from Western Canada to Ottawa, were definitely going to try and kidnap the Prime
00:26:55.180
Just, I have no idea what this was, but it was the grossest thing I've ever seen.
00:27:00.920
And to think this guy was in charge of the internet censorship panel.
00:27:06.400
I worry about the rising tide of incitements to violence.
00:27:10.080
When people use terms like treason and traitor in open discourse, those are the words that
00:27:16.860
I'm worried that somebody is going to be shot in this country this year during the political
00:27:21.080
Now, let me just ask you very quickly about that.
00:27:22.900
Sorry, before you go on, that's what I'm talking about with this panel in Toronto.
00:27:32.140
They don't know how to solve a problem, but boy, they've got solutions, and they're going
00:27:35.660
to pile it on the backs of ordinary law-abiding citizens.
00:27:39.460
But let me ask you this, because Warnick's no dummy.
00:27:42.800
I have a theory that that was a deliberate provocation and a misdirection by Warnick to
00:27:50.560
change the channel, change the subject, make him seem like a guy who was dealing with
00:27:58.280
the weightiest problems in the world, and oh my God, stop holding me to account, we've
00:28:02.480
got to worry about armed insurrection from the West.
00:28:05.160
I think he knew it was fake, but he was deliberately trying to, like an illusionist, make people
00:28:15.300
I don't think that he had that depth of understanding.
00:28:19.280
I honestly think that there are an awful lot of people who've lived these cloistered urban
00:28:23.540
lives among academics, senior civil servants, and lobbyists, special interest groups, NGOs,
00:28:31.380
who really don't understand anything beyond that sheltered little world.
00:28:35.420
And they see everyone beyond the boundaries of their life as dangerous threats to civilization.
00:28:43.000
If they don't stand in the way, the country will descend into chaos.
00:28:49.240
And I honestly think that they're that delusional.
00:28:56.520
If every time they called for a gun ban, if drug gangs in Toronto were to squawk and say,
00:29:04.700
no, that's not right, then I would say, oh, good, it's actually hurting them.
00:29:09.160
But first of all, drug gangs don't talk to the media.
00:29:12.000
They don't, you know, they don't use the political democratic process.
00:29:16.760
And most importantly, they don't care what the law is.
00:29:20.980
It's, by definition, the law abiders who are going to be squawking about it.
00:29:26.280
It's a perfect trick or trap that the liberal, I mean, even though the liberals are so truly
00:29:37.000
And then that is their proof that they're doing something good, even though the problem
00:29:45.280
I have in front of me your column from the Edmonton Sun called UCP Firearms Motion, First
00:29:53.520
And the UCP, of course, is Jason Kenney's Conservative Party.
00:29:58.960
You had mentioned that you thought Bill Blair and Trudeau would introduce their gun bans
00:30:04.760
just by a cabinet order, ordering counsel, as they're called, just by fiat.
00:30:12.540
Your article a week ago says that another approach might be for them to authorize cities to do this.
00:30:23.880
Well, if they don't want to take the political fire themselves, and I think they probably don't
00:30:30.400
in a minority situation, they could authorize municipalities.
00:30:35.420
And in fact, they're starting to use the term communities, which is ill-defined and nobody
00:30:40.480
But they could authorize municipalities to ban guns or certain types of guns, or maybe
00:30:47.600
all handguns or all automatic rifles or semi-automatic rifles or whatever.
00:30:52.660
They could choose categories that municipalities could ban if they want to.
00:30:57.260
The fly in that ointment when it comes to Alberta is that, of course, municipalities all across
00:31:03.980
the country are the creations of their provincial governments.
00:31:07.520
They don't exist legally without authorization from the provinces.
00:31:11.080
And so Alberta, what they did a week ago was pass a motion saying, we stand with law-abiding firearms
00:31:18.900
owners in Alberta, and we encourage or certainly support the legitimate use of firearms, whether
00:31:27.800
for sport or for vermin control, whatever you need.
00:31:33.580
And that was a signal that should Ottawa give legal authority to municipalities to create
00:31:40.560
gun bans, Alberta will stand in the way in Alberta.
00:31:44.160
The municipalities here, Calgary and Edmonton would probably be the only two who'd ask for
00:31:48.900
But they will not be given permission by the provincial government to bring in gun bans.
00:31:57.020
The other thing the province has been talking about is appointing its own chief firearms officer.
00:32:01.240
I think that's absolutely crucial, because now that the CFOs across the country are appointed
00:32:07.660
by the federal government, the feds pick people who will enforce the firearms laws as Ottawa
00:32:14.860
And if the province came in and appointed its own chief firearms officer, that person would
00:32:20.300
be able to say, you know, our community standards are different.
00:32:23.340
We don't believe that law-abiding gun owners are the problem in violent crime.
00:32:28.500
So we are not going to start seizing weapons left and right.
00:32:33.500
They would be bound by any sort of federal law that you can't change that.
00:32:37.740
But the interpretation of those laws, the time limits for handing things in, the exemptions
00:32:46.100
For example, if you can still get a sidearm license in Alberta or in Canada, it's not very
00:32:52.080
But if you work in an area where there are a lot of bears, you can apply to the federal
00:32:57.400
government for a sidearms license, and you may get one.
00:33:00.480
Those sorts of things have been devolved to the provincial firearms officers who Ottawa
00:33:06.040
can count on because they're loyal appointees of the federal government.
00:33:09.520
Alberta could easily appoint someone and say, no, you know, we're not going to tell the police
00:33:14.080
to rush on to everyone's property who's used a firearm in self-defense against midnight
00:33:20.440
robbers on their farm and seize all their firearms.
00:33:27.340
And that would be very different from what the federal CFOs are doing in all the other
00:33:32.040
So there are some good steps being taken here to try and shield us from the insanity of that
00:33:37.800
panel in Toronto and the people in Ottawa who think exactly the same way.
00:33:41.560
Yeah, you know, during the election, our friend David Menzies went to Bill Blair's house to
00:33:48.020
ask him, why aren't you living in the neighborhood that you're running?
00:33:53.560
He lives in one of the fanciest neighborhoods in Toronto, but he represents a riding with a
00:34:00.220
And David tried to ask if that's why he wasn't living there.
00:34:13.960
And we were doing a story about why, um, Mr. Blair doesn't live in the riding that he's
00:34:21.720
Well, I think when you can find Mr. Blair and find out where he lives, you can ask Mr.
00:34:31.380
I had a neighbor come and knock on my door and tell me someone was standing across the
00:34:37.920
That, well, that's precisely why I asked if it was okay to come on your property, but
00:34:44.360
I don't think that it's actually going to fix the problem.
00:34:47.020
I think maybe they're choosing to focus on firearms instead of global warming, because
00:34:50.880
maybe that's going to backfire as our economy slows down.
00:34:54.500
I think this whole thing is such a bad faith adventure by Justin Trudeau.
00:34:59.480
I don't think it's a real solution to a real problem.
00:35:04.200
They care about virtue signaling, and they're signaling that, like that panel in Toronto,
00:35:09.100
they are more virtuous than the rest of us because they care, and they're prepared to
00:35:17.640
It doesn't matter that none of the science or the statistics or any of the evidence supports
00:35:25.500
And for progressives, that more than anything else is the goal, just to prove that they
00:35:35.260
They care, and they are prepared to take bold words.
00:35:45.000
I don't describe to them any nasty hidden agenda because I just don't think they think that
00:35:55.300
I remember the big fight 25 years ago to license the National Firearms Registry, and I know that
00:36:03.200
not only did it agitate the West, but it cost a significant number of rural liberals their
00:36:09.960
I wonder if Justin Trudeau will go down that same path.
00:36:12.480
Lauren Granter, it's great to catch up with you.
00:36:26.940
What do you think about this study from GLAAD that shows a cratering of support for LGBT amongst
00:36:38.840
I think most people are live and let live, libertarian, don't tread on me, mind your own
00:36:44.880
business, just don't bug me and I won't bug you, I won't ask you about your sex life, you
00:36:50.060
I think that's the vibe for millennials and Generation Z, the Zoomers, but that's not what
00:37:10.880
And if GLAAD is detecting the backlash, oh, I think it's big and I think it's very real.
00:37:16.640
I think that there's room to respect and protect or at least tolerate people who say they're
00:37:24.240
something that's different than how they were born.
00:37:27.020
I would say do no harm, don't pick on anyone, don't punish anyone, don't be mean to anyone.
00:37:34.020
Anyone who, until just a few years ago, would have been diagnosed with a psychiatric condition.
00:37:40.220
It was a mental illness to call yourself trans just until a few years ago.
00:37:48.460
But what's happened now is the Jonathan Yanivs of the world are forcing themselves into change rooms
00:37:57.220
Yeah, it does not surprise me that support is falling.
00:38:01.200
And if I was an L or a G in the LGBT, I'd be worried about that.
00:38:09.360
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night.
