A group of high school students at Woodgrove High School in Purcellville, Virginia walked out of class on Wednesday in protest of a new bathroom policy allowing trans students to use the bathroom of their choice. They were met by counter-protesters who demanded the existing policy stay in place.

00:00:24.000Hey guys, Loudoun County High School students walk out of class over transgender bathrooms as furious kids demand male and female only spaces due to massive safety risk.
00:00:35.000A group of 50 to 100 students at Woodgrove High School in Purcellville, Virginia walked out of class on Wednesday in protest at trans bathroom policies.
00:00:44.000This Loudoun County School District in 2021 voted for non-binary, gender-fluid, and trans students to use the school bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice.
00:00:53.000The students on Wednesday demanded the overturn of the policy.
00:00:57.000They were met by a small group of counter-protesters insisting that the existing policy should stay in place.
00:01:03.000And you know the counter-protesters were?
00:01:08.000They were the teachers who are so perverted that they want to make sure that all the girls are forced to wash their hands after they have their periods in front of boys in the bathroom.
00:01:19.000I don't gush when I meet celebrities or anything like that.
00:01:22.000It doesn't really mean anything to me.
00:01:24.000I have this really cool Billy Corgan story.
00:01:26.000Apparently, he tells the similar story, too, because he- so, uh, I'm- I'm a big fan.
00:01:31.000Billy, everybody knows he's been, like, on InfoWars way back in the day.
00:01:33.000I don't want to speak for- to- to- too much to his work or whatever, because, uh, he does- he's a music guy, not a politics guy.
00:01:40.000A beach trip turned breakdown is a drag.
00:01:43.000Summer can really take a toll on your car with broken A.C., overheating, and electrical issues.

00:02:41.000But, uh, this past weekend, I got to meet one of the moms.
00:02:46.000Of one of the students who helped lead this protest, and I was just... I was so excited.
00:02:54.000I was so excited because that is so amazing to me, that there are people who are standing up for what they believe in, whose teenage kids are doing it, who are speaking out in fear that they could lose their jobs and all of this stuff.
00:03:09.000I was honored to have met a person who, despite their fears of losing their job and all of this, were willing to speak out, proud of their family, of their kids, for what they were doing.
00:03:40.000I think it was Michael Malice who said that.
00:03:42.000Schools are effectively prisons, especially modern high schools in cities, where you go in, the doors are all locked, and you have to go through a metal detector, and if you leave, the cops arrest you.
00:03:59.000My friends and I, mostly not me, but one of our friends was a rollerblader, went door-to-door to raise money to get a skate park built at our local park.
00:04:08.000All the kids would hang out there and skate every day, and it would damage the planters.
00:04:12.000They're made of plastic, they're recycled garbage bags into the, you know, park planters.
00:04:16.000But they're so perfect for skateboarding.
00:04:18.000So we would all skate there every day, and it was awesome, we would do our tricks, and they didn't like it.
00:04:22.000So this kid raised the money to build a skate park.
00:04:28.000I was doing homeschooling, a correspondence thing for the most part, never finished.
00:04:31.000And when me and my brother went to the park to skate at the park that we helped, and I'm not saying we did the most, someone else did all the heavy lifting, but we were a component of it.
00:05:16.000I remember when I was in college and I was at Sarah Lawrence College, which is in Bronxville, New York and I was walking to school because I lived off campus and I was at what like 19 or 20 or whatever and I was walking to school and this big white van pulled over and opened the door.
00:05:33.000The door slid open and this guy goes, get in the van and I was like, what the fuck?
00:05:59.000And that the education machine, that we can't have a functioning educational machine, because I think we can.
00:06:03.000Dude, kids are traumatized by their teachers every single day, and...
00:06:09.000Look, man, I had one teacher that I can name that I thought was really, really great, and she's an awesome person, and after Occupy Wall Street, she messaged me saying, I'm proud of you, and I'm like, that meant a lot to me, because she was a good teacher.
00:06:22.000And then all the rest of them were either varying degrees of indifferent or antagonistic, and they were traumatizing kids.
00:06:31.000I had several different educational experiences.
00:06:34.000I went to public school most of the time.
00:06:37.000And then after eighth grade, I went to Catholic school for two years.
00:06:41.000And then after that, I went to a private Quaker school in Philadelphia for two years.
00:06:45.000And the public school was a total disaster.
00:07:22.000And they kept being mad that I wasn't there after school for them to beat me up, but whatever.
00:07:27.000But the best school I went to out of, you know, and I went to college and I went to grad school, the best school I went to was the two years at Private Quaker School in Philadelphia, and it was hard.
00:07:37.000I was on academic probation the entire time, but every teacher that I had And this was not true when my brother went there later.
00:07:45.000Every teacher that I had took us all very seriously.
00:08:32.000It was those two years that gave me pretty much everything I needed
00:08:36.000in terms of a work ethic, taking myself seriously,
00:08:40.000learning how to find and discover my own passions.
00:08:43.000You know one of the things I learned in school is it doesn't, all through public school, it doesn't matter what you know, it matters who you know and fitting in and being popular.
00:08:51.000That was all that fucking mattered because as soon as I became popular I realized no one gives a shit if I know this stuff.
00:09:48.000I actually told the teacher, I was smarter than her.
00:09:52.000Because I told the story before about negatives and I can see I can like visualize that I got a friday detention just like without any emotion They call it they call detention second chance.
00:10:32.000I had one bad teacher that actually me and my friends rebelled against and he was removed because he was so terrible.
00:10:37.000But otherwise, I had great teachers and I've always gone to public school and I think, you know, yes, I couldn't define photosynthesis tonight.
00:10:44.000Although after I thought about it, I think I got it.
00:11:03.000But the problem is, that's not scalable.
00:11:04.000Like, not everyone can be homeschooled.
00:11:06.000In fact, for many kids, the problem is like, what if their home situation, not just in their own home, but around them, is really, really bad?
00:11:14.000And school is actually a refuge for them from a really tough environment.
00:11:18.000That's a big problem if we're saying school is going to serve as like a juvenile therapeutic.
00:13:21.000Why is it that so many kids hate their teachers?
00:13:24.000Why is it a trope that a kid will say, my teacher sucks?
00:13:26.000Why is it that so many parents are like, your teacher doesn't suck, you're just a little... Why are they not believing the kids when the kids are saying the schools are bad and they're causing them problems?
00:13:35.000When we're looking at a continuing problem of younger generations with scores dropping in schools, the US slipping, it's clearly broken!
00:13:44.000Yeah, there's this low-hanging fruit shit where the teacher has to cater to the weakest student and then the smart ones are waiting for it to finish.
00:14:22.000But to what extent are some of these struggles in schools a reflection of there being way too big classrooms, kids that need more support, special needs kids don't have it, and there's not enough resources?
00:14:33.000And if there were resources, I think you would see a major difference there.
00:14:36.000So what happens if, um... Here's a question for you.
00:15:25.000And I agree, but clearly, if the government says, we want to distribute, frozen on a biltong is, we're eating it, it's South African style drinking.
00:15:35.000And so, if the state says, we want someone to pave the roads, And then a month later, there's buckets of molasses poured in the streets, and we're like, hold on there a minute.
00:17:20.000But everyone would be like, yeah, but you're like the best basketball player and everyone knows it.
00:17:23.000And so you let the kids advance, and what this does is not only does it give them a gamified system of wanting to learn, hey man, this next level, you're gonna get a free pizza at Pizza Hut, whatever it is we do.
00:17:36.000You're gonna- you're gonna get, you know, to the gold tier, and then you're gonna be- Get tokens that you can use to check out books.
00:17:41.000And this is why video games work, because it triggers dopamine.
00:17:52.000They sit in their fucking computers for 16 hours playing video games.
00:17:55.000Do the same thing for school, let kids decide when they want to try to advance, and a kid might fail, and they can be like, you can literally take the test again right now if you want, and then advance!
00:18:04.000Okay, so you don't want to abolish the school system.
00:18:06.000You want to change it to meet kids' needs and to be more realistic for that.
00:18:12.000The first thing we've got to do is we've got to get rid of the... There is a massive cancerous tumor that is the Department of Education.
00:18:21.000It is a money vacuum that homogenizes things in bad ways.
00:18:26.000You've got to cut the cancer off and start a new one.
00:18:29.000So I was just thinking, you were talking about how much money is spent... But would you agree with the premise of having some department at all?
00:18:33.000Like of education to... We don't need a federal department of education at all.
00:18:37.000So it should be what, at the state level, like... No, no, no, no.
00:21:10.000This guy's really good at smashing hamsters.
00:21:11.000Okay, how about this, how about not smashing?
00:21:13.000My view of this is, the government keeps funding a program where a guy tosses a hamster in the air and whacks it with a tennis racket, and then when you ask him, why are you doing this?
00:21:22.000He's like, government pays me to do it.
00:21:23.000And you're like, maybe you should stop, what's the purpose of this?
00:23:32.000But by the time you're 14 and like if you have your period and stuff like that's, you know, I know it's sort of boring to say or whatever, but like that sucks and it's super traumatizing and it's gross and everything about it is really unpleasant.
00:23:45.000And you end up, if you're in the washroom at school and you have your period, a lot of times you're going to end up with blood on your hands.
00:23:52.000And then you have to like wash your hands in front of boys.
00:23:55.000Alright, so the first thing we do is- Gross!
00:23:58.000We separate boys and girls' skulls completely, then we make it so that women aren't allowed to work, then we repeal the 19th Amendment, and finally we institute the Mosaic Morality Police to go in and make sure all of it's being upheld.
00:25:37.000But there's also a value to work itself.
00:25:40.000There's also a value to taking care of yourself.
00:25:44.000Why is it that college dropout billionaires have three times the net worth of college graduate billionaires?
00:25:49.000That's a great well because they're obviously such skilled independent thinkers But the question is did did school dumb everybody else down or those dropouts just have that natural creative independent How did humanity make it this far without institutionalized learning facilities?
00:26:03.000And how is it now that we have generations of people who don't want to work when previously everybody worked and we're fine with it?
00:26:09.000But how many, did everyone who's contributed to humanity, do you think they came up with it independently on their own, or did their, possibly their education experience?
00:26:59.000I'm an exception in that I, instead of going to college and asking a guy who doesn't do journalism how to do journalism, I bought a phone, sat down with some guys and said, what's the app we need?
00:27:09.000The remarkable thing about Solve- Could everyone do that?
00:28:28.000Alright, well, they need the chance, while their brains are still developing, I think, to be able to have a baseline education, to learn some basics, to socialize.
00:28:49.000Then high school years where kids should be picking up a trade and learning things because at 18 you're a man and you can go to war and die and smoke cigarettes.
00:28:56.000We have them still in high school doing fucking nothing!
00:29:00.000When New York implemented universal pre-k, do you think that was a good thing or a bad thing?
00:29:06.000Okay, well, I mean- The general idea is, like, I think institutionalized learning facilities are broken.
00:29:11.000And it's possible to have them, I suppose, but typically they're always going to skew towards failure that is propped up by government money.
00:29:18.000And what ends up happening is, instead of saying, this failed, let's stop funding it, the government says to the taxpayer, we're taking it from you by force, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:29:28.000If a system is broken and it can't fail, and the taxpayer is forced to pay for it against their will, like, that's fucked.
00:29:35.000We've got kids suffering and the government, it's, and then you get teachers unions who will never let the system die.
00:29:40.000I didn't sign off on funding Israel and the proxy war in Ukraine.
00:32:13.000I'm not opposed to altruistic surrogacy, like situations where, you know, a couple can't have a child biologically themselves, and so perhaps, you know, the sister or a friend or what have you volunteers to help that couple.
00:32:30.000I'm not opposed to a volunteer surrogacy situation, an altruistic surrogacy situation.
00:32:36.000A commercial surrogacy situation very easily can and does lead to baby factory type of arrangements where you have a woman who is contracted to rent her body for a period of months in order to, you know, facilitate the child for someone else.
00:33:00.000Now, on the one hand, you could say that a woman has the right to sell her body, and certainly advocates for sex work would say that that is true.
00:33:10.000However, there are substantial differences to selling your body for sex, which also I'm not in favor of, and selling your body for surrogacy, which also I'm not in favor of.
00:33:20.000And there are, these are some of those circumstances.
00:33:24.000When a woman is contracted to be a surrogate, she has to already have undergone at least one pregnancy.
00:33:33.000You're not allowed to be a first-time pregnant person and be a surrogate.
00:33:38.000And the reason for that is to make sure that your body is capable of Carrying a child to term.
00:33:45.000What that means, however, is that you are already a mother.
00:33:47.000So you are now in a situation where you are carrying someone else's child while you have likely another child in the home.
00:33:56.000I think that that's pretty unpleasant for that child who's already in the home to see someone who otherwise would be their sibling essentially being sold to someone else.
00:34:06.000Also, when you're a surrogate, you are taking, the embryo is not your own egg.
00:34:13.000In some cases it is your own egg, in which case you're literally selling your own child, but the egg, the embryo is not your own, so you have to take a substantial number of drugs in order to facilitate that.
00:34:25.000You have to take IVF medication to make sure that You know, because it's IVF, basically.
00:34:31.000So you have to take all the IVF drugs, which is all these heavy-duty hormones.
00:34:35.000That takes a substantial period of time and is very rough on the body.
00:34:39.000You also have to take, after implantation, you have to take the same drugs that a person would take after receiving an organ that's not theirs, to prevent organ rejection, because your body will naturally reject the egg of another woman.
00:34:57.000That's a months-long process to do that.
00:35:01.000Also, in many cases with surrogacy, you are implanted with multiples and that's to ensure that at least one of the children survives and it's to lower costs for the couple who is purchasing the child and renting the woman.
00:35:18.000Multiple pregnancies are substantially more dangerous.
00:35:22.000So now you have a number of things that are contributing to the danger of the situation.
00:35:26.000Also in the United States, a lot of women who undergo surrogacy and become surrogates are married.
00:35:33.000So I, you know, my personal morality looking at a nuclear family where a woman is selling her body and you have a husband in the home, I think that would be substantially emasculating and you have many men who have come out and spoken against that.
00:35:48.000There have been many men also who have come out and spoken against surrogacy after their wives have died in the surrogacy process.
00:35:56.000And you could talk to Jennifer Law about this, with the Center for Bioethics, who does really amazing work on this.
00:36:02.000And Katie Fowles, who I think was on the show, also in Eastern Europe.
00:36:07.000Just two more things, just two more things.
00:36:09.000In Eastern Europe surrogacy is not legal, so many couples from Western Europe come to the United States to buy their children.
00:36:19.000You also have a situation where, for the child's perspective, you will have, for example, if you have a couple that does not have their own eggs, they will buy an egg from one place, like Ukraine, where the phrase is that you could buy cheap white eggs.
00:36:33.000So you would buy eggs from one place, you would mix them with the sperm from somewhere else, they would be gestated in the surrogate of one country, and then sold to a couple in another country.
00:37:03.000If altruistic surrogacy, you state it was okay, where like someone, a loved one is willing, and then you do it, and then after the baby's born, you give them a big fat tip.
00:38:45.000Like the one commercial surrogacy, a lot of the issue for me is that then you have a baby making and selling industry.
00:38:53.000And I don't think we should have baby making and selling industries, but altruistic surrogacy has as something that has been with us for a very long time.
00:39:01.000Even if you go back into like looking at biblical times, you know, you had Abraham and, um, Wasn't it Sarah?
00:40:38.000Hopefully my question isn't as controversial, but thanks for taking my call everyone.
00:40:43.000My question is primarily for Tim, but you know, it's open for anyone.
00:40:47.000Why do you think Shapiro is so critical of Vivek?
00:40:50.000Like, I know that there's rumors that he or the Daily Wire are kind of in bed with the DeSantis camp.
00:40:56.000Um, but he's made comments about the vague changing stances and he's theatrical with no solutions.
00:41:02.000So well, Ben, Ben was opposed to Trump early on there.
00:41:07.000You know, Daily Wire guys are more mainstream conservative.
00:41:12.000I wouldn't call him necessarily neocon or anything like that, but close in some respects in some of their positions.
00:41:19.000So for Ben and for many of the guys at The Daily Wire, yeah, Ron DeSantis is your guy, and Vivek is more Trumpian.
00:41:29.000So, if you're concerned about this populist upstart, you know, kind of Trump- Trumpian stuff and MAGA, Vivek is very much in line with that.
00:41:39.000But Ben and everyone else got behind Trump because he was the Republican candidate, he became, you know, he was the nominee who won, he became president, and then they basically said, okay, it's this or nothing, so that's what they went for.
00:41:50.000Now, given the option, I'm not surprised they're going for Ron DeSantis, despite the obvious shortcomings of the DeSantis campaign, and the failures that come along with wearing three-inch lifts in your cowboy boots.
00:42:01.000So, what, um, he, the specific claim that Vivek doesn't have any real solutions, I've heard him in long-form podcasts, and he seems to lay it out.
00:42:10.000Do you think it's just him kind of shilling for DeSantis, or do you think he just hasn't sat down to listen to Vivek speak about Well, I mean, it's Ben's opinion.
00:42:21.000If he thinks the things that Vivek have said are not real solutions, then it's his opinion to say he has no solutions.
00:43:10.000I know that if you went to like one of his speaking events and at the Q&A asked him exactly this, he'd give you a logical breakdown of what he means and you'd understand.
00:43:19.000Ben's the facts-don't-care-about-your-feelings guy.
00:43:22.000With all due respect, unless it comes to Israel, but I'm pretty sure he can give you a very simple, logical answer.
00:45:04.000Conservative leaning people who don't get involved in that and they say, look man, all I care about is, you know, pushing back on the wokeness and stuff like this.
00:45:11.000And they're getting attacked by DeSantis people.
00:45:48.000Thank you for coming on 10Cast, Aaron.
00:45:50.000Really appreciate it, and for taking my question.
00:45:53.000Until recently, I was an avid watcher of Useful Idiots.
00:45:57.000I recognize the Israeli-Palestine questions have already been addressed a few times, and I notice that you're very critical of Israel in all of your work.
00:46:05.000What do you feel like is a realistic solution to the current crisis for long-term peace and a resolution to the 75-year-long conflict?
00:46:17.000I talked about it earlier on the show, but just to briefly summarize, to me, ideally, if I could design the perfect solution in an ideal world, it would be equality for everybody.
00:46:26.000And Palestinians who were kicked out of their homes in 1948 either get the right of return or get compensated for it.
00:46:32.000But that's not going to happen because Israel's nuclear weapons is not going to give up its claim to be a Jewish state.
00:46:40.000So I think the best solution is removing all the West Bank settlements.
00:46:45.000Move everyone who's in these settlements into Israel proper and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and Compensate all these Palestinian refugees and their families and their descendants for the homes that were lost and that's the best That's the solution that most of the world supports The only people who are the main opponents of it are the US and Israel and if that were to change I think it can make a huge difference I mean, I don't know where the money's going to come from in this situation.
00:47:07.000Do you have an idea where that would come from?
00:47:09.000Well, we spend so much money on arming Israel and there's so much money put into maintaining the occupation.
00:47:26.000How do we have a situation where these people can live next to each other?
00:47:30.000Because like the Gazans and the West Bagans, they're all, the Palestinians, they're all brainwashed to hate Israel, to martyr, to destroy Israel.
00:47:43.000They want everything, they want the entire land, right?
00:47:46.000How do you realistically create a state in which your neighbors want to kill you?
00:47:50.000You know plenty of states have lived next to each other that have previously been in total states of war have gone
00:47:57.000on to peace I mean look at Europe like France and England. They I mean
00:48:01.000well. Yeah, there's there's Ireland and England, oh boy!
00:49:10.000But don't you feel like there's like nobody at all that is motivated for peace, right?
00:49:17.000All of the Arab states and Persian, Iran, next door, nobody wants peace.
00:49:23.000You know, honestly, it's not in Israel's interest, it's not in the Palestinians' interest, it's not in the rest of the Arab states' interest.
00:49:29.000Listen, Google Arab Peace Initiative 2002, okay?
00:49:33.000In 2002, Saudi Arabia put out a proposal, it's called the Arab Peace Initiative.
00:49:37.000Offering Israel full relations with all the Arab states In return for Israel withdrawing from the West Bank and Gaza and allowing the creation of a Palestinian state there and finding a just resolution to the refugee issue.
00:49:56.000Now Hamas didn't say we'll recognize Israel, but Hamas said we'll accept the state within the 67 borders, which means the West Bank and Gaza.
00:50:04.000Iran said they would respect it even in 2017.
00:50:32.000And he said during an interview that I was there for, when I was working for Democracy Now!, he said if I were Palestinian, I would have rejected Camp David as well.
00:50:41.000And I understand why you think that Arafat rejected this generous deal, but that's because we've been lied to.
00:51:50.000Those were ethnic Germans who were being oppressed by other countries.
00:51:52.000So after World War I, Germany gets put in a massive debt in these treaties, particularly with France, and that stripped a bunch of their land away, which was ethnically German, given other countries and these people were being oppressed.
00:52:49.000And so one option, look, there are plenty of people who said we should engage with Hamas and see what they, and see, like for example, the former head of Mossad said we should engage with Hamas.
00:53:00.000He wrote an article about this in the Washington Post.
00:53:03.000There was a plenty of talk about that.
00:53:04.000It was Israel who insisted on sticking to this extremist position that no, all this land is ours.
00:53:11.000And as long as you have that position, you're always gonna have people trying to resist you.
00:53:14.000So if you don't like what Hamas does, take away the reason Why they're launching all these military actions and your occupation.
00:53:20.000Give them at least some of their land back.
00:53:23.000That's not possible anymore, I realize.
00:53:25.000But at least start with the position of letting Palestinians have a state and 22% of their land, which is for them is a huge compromise already.
00:55:05.000Are you guys okay if I just share my own personal experience with homeschooling just real quick since I've been homeschooling my whole life?
00:55:35.000And honestly, I do think that there's more good than harm.
00:55:38.000And I think that in public schooling, it's more harm than good.
00:55:41.000So I don't, I'm not here to offer a solution for that.
00:55:45.000I just want to put it out there that I think that homeschooling will set more people up for success, but in public school, the people who succeed out of that are typically the ones that have to break away from their education.
00:55:58.000Rather than with homeschooling, the people who succeed are successful because of their education.
00:56:42.000With the dramatic shifts happening in the political landscape in this last year and the decline of Joe Biden's front-runner status in the Democratic Party, how much time do you believe the Democrats truly have before it's too late to build up a new candidate?
00:57:06.000Maybe they want to wait until the very last minute for some Joe Biden collapses thing, because then there's no time for opposition research and an attack on Gavin Newsom.
00:57:15.000Yeah, they don't need to have anybody in a primary.
00:57:17.000The Democrats don't need to primary anybody.
00:58:33.000Four terms, I don't know what the thing is, but that's how many he was.
00:58:35.000But my point is, when you have Texas v. Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court says, fuck us, we're not going anywhere near that, That was nuts.
00:58:43.000The Supreme Court really should have taken that up.
00:59:55.000Kamala Harris then steps in as acting president to fulfill the duties as VP but says, Listen, there's no way I can mount a campaign in three months now.
01:00:55.000You know, this whole Biden meeting with President Xi is very weird because I feel like he's like, not to be outdone by Gavin Newsom meeting with Xi.
01:01:02.000I have to show something, some prowess.
01:01:04.000I don't know why he would We gotta wind things down, we're a little over.
01:01:14.000You guys get it, if I just say a few things real quick?
