Gaines for Girls with Riley Gaines - The Truth About the Rise in Trans Violence

00:00:00.000 last week a man dressed like a woman committed a school shooting in canada now this week a man

00:00:09.920 dressed like a woman shot his ex-wife and kids at a hockey game in rhode island is it finally

00:00:15.900 appropriate to say that transgenderism is a mental illness that breeds violence and the longer that

00:00:21.720 we avoid discussing the real underlying problems the worse this crisis will get i am riley gaines

00:00:27.920 welcome back to the riley gaines show as i said today i want to really discuss how the trans violence

00:00:33.900 rate is off the charts and why this really shouldn't be overly surprising but before we get into that i

00:00:40.180 want to tell you about today's sponsors uh why refi my question to all of you listening to this

00:00:45.760 maybe watching at youtube.com is are you struggling with private student loan debt is even your minimum

00:00:51.260 payment higher than what you can afford maybe you are in default well if you are you are not alone

00:00:57.140 but the good news is why refi can help what they do is they refinance private student loans that other

00:01:02.980 companies won't even touch they will give you a custom loan payment plan based on your ability to

00:01:08.400 pay they work with each borrower individually to craft a payment plan that works for you for the for

00:01:15.800 the borrower they can help you reduce your monthly payment and your total costs you will get a low fixed

00:01:20.900 interest rate that you will not find anywhere else and the best part is why refi does not care what your

00:01:26.080 credit score is so again if private student loan debt is wrecking your life or destroying your dreams

00:01:32.640 or holding you back you do not have to live with that stress or that worry anymore go to why refi.com

00:01:38.900 that is y-r-e-f-y.com and be sure to tell them that riley sent you you heard about him on the riley

00:01:45.120 gaines show uh as i said in the intro and like you've probably seen in the news or actually maybe you

00:01:51.880 haven't seen it at all in the news because mainstream media seemingly only cares especially

00:01:57.120 left wing mainstream media they seemingly only care when it's a straight white man who commits mass

00:02:04.740 homicide but twice in the span of less than a week we have seen two cases of what seems to be attempted

00:02:11.640 family annihilation we have a lot to unpack today but i want to start by speaking very very plainly

00:02:19.080 so there's no room for interpretation there's no beating around the bush there's no cryptic message

00:02:24.860 that i'm leaving you with i want to speak really plainly when i say that the trans violent rate is

00:02:30.140 off the charts at least speaking from a per capita standpoint i mean just off the top of my head we have

00:02:37.220 these two shootings we have the minneapolis shooting we have denver we have the nashville shooting which

00:02:43.260 happened in in basically my backyard in this scenario it was a woman who had been injecting

00:02:48.620 herself with testosterone who then went to go on and shoot nine-year-olds i believe there were three

00:02:54.080 nine-year-olds that died plus three adults it took them forever actually i don't even think it came from

00:03:00.620 the proper authorities the federal or state authorities i actually think the manifesto or at least parts of

00:03:05.700 it were leaked uh and in this manifesto we saw that this was a woman who hated christians and who hated

00:03:12.880 white people uh therefore she targeted white christians but i want to talk with you guys on why

00:03:21.200 at least from my perspective as someone who has been involved in the gender ideology space i mean the

00:03:27.060 past almost four years now uh initially starting from the sports side of things but of course seeing how

00:03:34.440 the medicalization side what's happening in the educational realm even what's going on in the

00:03:38.540 corporate world how that is all connected i want to share with you on why to me this is the least

00:03:45.920 surprising thing ever why it makes sense that the trans violence rate is off the chart the first reason

00:03:52.340 being and i think this to be the most obvious if you are willing to deny basic reality like the simplest

00:04:01.640 of truths a truth that we have known to be true and relevant and easily digested since the very beginning

00:04:09.020 of time that truth being men and women are different in a way that that is beautiful in a way that allows for

00:04:16.360 procreation a way that allows for humanity to exist uh if you are willing to deny that then there are really no

00:04:24.900 bounds at that point uh i guess maybe a better way to explain this if you can in some way in your head

00:04:33.260 justify saying that men can get pregnant or that women need prostate exams or that tampons belong in

00:04:41.380 boys bathrooms then i believe that you can find a way in your brain to justify anything any measure any

00:04:49.360 action because at that point the door has just been totally opened if you deny that men and women are

00:04:55.480 physically different then it's similar to denying that the sky is blue right the whole george orwell

00:05:02.840 two plus two equals five thing right uh that is gender ideology and if you have read 1984 maybe like me

00:05:11.860 you were tasked to read it in high school it was a project you had to do a class assignment if you read

00:05:18.240 that book then you know then that leads to a pretty scary terrifying consequential oftentimes violent

00:05:25.220 outcome the whole two plus two equals five thing so that's the first reason i'm not really surprised

00:05:32.220 because again if you can justify cutting off healthy body parts of children then there's probably not

00:05:37.140 many other atrocities that you're not willing to justify including mass homicide which leads me to my

00:05:42.920 second point of why i'm not surprised that trans violence is off the charts uh not only does a

00:05:48.040 portion of this demographic this demographic being those who identify as something other than what

00:05:53.160 they actually are not only do they feel justified in committing violence they believe to be morally

00:06:00.180 superior to you in committing these acts of violence because we have been fed the lie that words are

00:06:08.840 violence right by calling a man a man and a woman a woman that we have been told that we are committing

00:06:15.300 an act of violence a hate crime if you will we have seen specifically from the other side of the aisle

00:06:21.460 uh these deranged claims of committing genocide by opposing men in women's sports or by opposing again

00:06:32.240 children cutting off healthy functioning body parts or by simply speaking the truth they say that is

00:06:38.140 genocide uh and that right there was an open invitation to violence i wish you guys could see the messages

00:06:47.600 that i get on a daily basis uh how many trans activists are sending me dms wishing death upon me

00:06:54.760 death upon my husband and my family really horrific profane heinous graphic things that i can't even

00:07:01.880 i couldn't even come up with some of the stuff in my head never mind type it out and send it to

00:07:06.780 someone that i don't like really awful things but what i think has been proven over these past few

00:07:13.280 years uh is that the trans rights activists or those who identify as trans they believe that their

00:07:20.820 feelings and their right to affirmation supersedes your right to even be alive uh and actually one of

00:07:29.200 the people who has been saying this for a long time is matt walsh he has been raising the concerns about

00:07:34.980 trans violence uh and the potential for increase which we have seen um continuing down the affirmation path

00:07:42.280 that we have been uh and even by many in the conservative arena influencers and politicians etc

00:07:49.900 matt walsh was told well no like this isn't really the case conservatives again saying yes we don't

00:07:55.760 want men and women sports and yes we oppose this for minors but there's no problem for adults doing this

00:08:01.600 there's no problem in using she pronouns when talking about a man we want to be kind and we

00:08:07.340 want to be respectful that's how we be those things that's what even conservatives or people who call

00:08:13.400 themselves conservatives have told matt walsh all while conflating by the way what it means to be

00:08:19.620 kind and respectful uh because i would be willing to bet that the families of the children who died in

00:08:27.520 the covenant school shooting here in nashville uh i would be willing to bet that they don't think

00:08:33.840 what happened to their child is kind nor respectful but i say that to say that matt walsh has been

00:08:40.740 entirely vindicated unfortunately but uh those who identify as trans believe that they're vindicated

00:08:47.040 as well in killing innocent people and you know one more absolutely insane thing to me at least in

00:08:55.140 speaking to how the other side feels not just again justified but morally superior in committing

00:09:01.140 these acts of literal violence uh that we have seen over the past few years the left specifically

00:09:08.820 uh generally promotes the idea of defending trans rights with images of ak-47s and knives on t-shirts

00:09:18.920 i've got a couple of these images pictured on screen here if you're watching at youtube.com

00:09:24.880 and i will say personally i've seen this often especially in showing up to state capitals

00:09:30.800 across the nation to testify on behalf of um these bills that would prevent gender ideology

00:09:37.680 impeding in women's sports impeding in in schools or where it affects children

00:09:42.640 uh i think it's especially concerning when you see these images online uh people wearing t-shirts that

00:09:49.860 say protect trans kids but these people are health care workers uh or their school teachers or their

00:09:55.340 government employees uh if you're looking at the screen right now this is the lieutenant governor of

00:10:00.860 minnesota a sanctuary state by the way wearing a shirt that says protect trans kids with a knife

00:10:07.740 this is a publicly elected official uh what precisely does she think she's advocating for

00:10:15.220 here this is explicitly what they're calling for now and i'm not going to be naive enough anymore

00:10:21.600 to say that this is what they're indirectly calling for no enough of that at this point i don't think

00:10:28.660 it's indirect i really don't i think what we're seeing is directly what people like peggy flanagan the

00:10:34.560 lieutenant governor of minnesota are calling for and maybe you could have said five years ago you

00:10:40.460 know she didn't know or this wasn't really what she wanted these mass acts of homicide and killing

00:10:46.040 enough i don't think you can say that anymore it is just wild to me that they say me calling a man a man

00:10:55.800 that is a call to violence but her wearing a knife on her shirt saying protect trans kids isn't a call

00:11:03.560 to violence and another reason that i am not surprised at the rate of trans violence

00:11:07.500 is because we are taking the most delusional broken and lied to manipulated oftentimes traumatized if you

00:11:18.260 watch the episode with presha mosley detransitioner uh last week then you will see this you will hear her

00:11:24.900 the trauma that she went through the most manipulatable people in the entire country in the world for that

00:11:33.160 matter and we are pumping them full of cross sex hormones uh and we are telling them that that will

00:11:38.700 cure all of their problems and then we as a society as health care professionals that we're taking a step

00:11:45.780 back and watching what happens to these medical experiments i think is an appropriate thing to call

00:11:52.960 them again mentally unstable people are injecting themselves with copious amounts certainly unregulated

00:12:00.300 amounts of synthetic and unnatural chemicals and substances and hormones while few to zero long-term

00:12:08.160 studies have been done on the effects of this not even speaking to necessarily people who identify as

00:12:14.420 trans but people who are into even weightlifting or bodybuilding have coined the term roid rage which

00:12:22.040 links aggression to high-dose anabolic steroid use such as testosterone and in doing my research for this

00:12:27.920 episode not looking at necessarily people who identify as trans taking testosterone but just the broad

00:12:34.040 effects of taking testosterone in general i saw where testosterone influences the amygdala which affects

00:12:39.660 threat and emotional processing where testosterone also influences reward pathways meaning dopamine and

00:12:47.560 your impulse control circuits in your brain which tends to increase sensitivity to what is perceived to be a

00:12:55.220 threat uh it tends to increase confidence and risk taking and amplify pre-existing traits you might

00:13:01.820 already have which we know this to be true again i hope you listen to the episode with presha she talked

00:13:06.840 about this commonality among those who begin to identify as trans underlying conditions presha her

00:13:13.860 spell herself spoke to this and what she experienced with depression anxiety bipolar disorder other sort of

00:13:20.080 personality disorders ocd sexual trauma even uh so we're talking about people who have been abused or who have

00:13:27.580 these underlying mood disorders that is who we are giving these destabilizing hormones to and what we know about

00:13:35.640 these hormones that we're giving these individuals is often they magnify what is already there so it's not

00:13:44.080 surprising that we see impulsive acts of violence whether on other people innocent people or tragically

00:13:51.680 themselves uh we've grown to know this whole suicide narrative we're told it all the time especially

00:13:58.480 you know a few years ago where it was very prevalent right you have doctors or surgeons or therapists who are

00:14:05.840 talking to parents and saying look would you rather have a dead son or an alive daughter that is emotional

00:14:12.360 blackmail is what that is i can't even imagine as a parent myself now being told that one day it's a

00:14:18.580 horrible thing uh we're told that if you don't give these individuals hormones and affirm their perceived

00:14:26.300 gender then they will just kill themselves which i believe to be a total actually it's it's not even what

00:14:34.020 i i believe i think the one study that has been done with any sort of longevity that proves that actually

00:14:40.640 you're 19 times more likely to commit suicide if you are affirmed the suicide narrative uh it is used

00:14:47.940 by those people in powerful positions whether that is a doctor whether that's the entirety basically of

00:14:53.420 the democratic party uh it is used by those people to coerce and to control others and it's a very

00:14:59.540 similar tactic by the way to that of which we saw being used during covid i will never forget

00:15:05.080 the memo that president biden put out uh where he talked about it's going to be a dark and lonely

00:15:11.780 and cold winter if you don't get the vaccine you will see death like you've never seen before but if

00:15:17.820 you're vaccinated you'll be happy and healthy i mean it's the same tactics they use there that they're

00:15:23.340 using as it pertains to the gender ideology movement and in talking about these these drugs that are being

00:15:30.800 administered and prescribed i think one more reason that we have been hesitant to question especially

00:15:36.960 the medical industry that they have been hesitant to question these drugs is because i believe it will

00:15:43.420 lead to questions about medications more broadly than just trans hormones such as ssris and snris

00:15:52.500 which are both antidepressant medications that affect brain chemicals involved in mood regulation

00:15:59.180 think things like prozac or zoloft or lexapro we live in this society that is very quick to diagnose

00:16:07.620 and to prescribe these what i would call slow release poisons that's not me saying that antidepressants

00:16:15.920 aren't useful or beneficial for some people because certainly they are but i i don't think it's

00:16:21.400 controversial or any it's not an opinion even uh maybe you can say it's controversial but it is a fact

00:16:26.520 that the rate of which they're prescribed is alarming i think especially among my generation

00:16:33.100 but doesn't seem like they're ready for that conversation yet i look at these tragic events

00:16:39.780 that happened over the past few weeks again the shooting in canada which i guess i didn't really give

00:16:45.560 background on and if you haven't been watching the news maybe you don't know what i'm talking about

00:16:49.860 uh the shooting in canada what we know to be true at this point is that at least nine people

00:16:55.760 were killed in connection to a mass shooting uh last tuesday at a school in british columbia

00:17:02.440 i'm reading directly off of a fox news article here it says the police identified the suspect

00:17:06.780 reportedly was also found dead uh this was an 18 year old transgender woman so uh man who allegedly

00:17:15.300 killed two of his family members at home before opening fire at the school and the rhode island

00:17:20.400 shooting here again reading off of fox news digital article it says a suspect accused of shooting and

00:17:26.000 killing two people at a rhode island ice rink on monday before killing himself was identified as

00:17:30.300 transgender aka a man and had a history of past family conflict over his gender identity a local news

00:17:37.320 outlet reported citing court documents again this is a man who shot and killed his wife shot his

00:17:44.640 three children and then pulled the gun on himself how messed up in the head do you have to be to

00:17:52.160 shoot your three children any parent listening to this it's unimaginable for anyone but as a new

00:17:58.360 parent myself i can't even stomach the thought of my daughter being hurt i can't even stand to hear

00:18:04.460 a cry i totally thought i was going to be like a cry it out mom like you know put her in her crib i'm

00:18:09.300 tough she'll cry she'll be fine she'll get over it eventually absolutely not um i hate when my daughter

00:18:15.200 cries i can't imagine someone else taking her life someone else harming her in any way never mind

00:18:22.680 myself doing that to my daughter horrific events and i was looking at um this man's profile online his

00:18:31.740 ex profile has become public knowledge at this point i went to his profile just to go through some

00:18:36.520 other things uh the shooter in the rhode island uh scenario the father who shot his family

00:18:41.360 and it was incredibly confusing because i don't know if he appears to be right wing left wing something

00:18:50.180 in the middle there was really no clear basis not that it matters okay it doesn't matter what his

00:18:55.220 political affiliation was because at the end of the day he's crazy i don't think he necessarily fully

00:19:00.220 aligns with any party he's insane uh but in going to his profile i saw that he had blocked me

00:19:06.200 uh previously and in looking at some of the comments that he had left under my posts in previous

00:19:11.720 years uh some of them were very supportive some of them were far from supportive i say that to say

00:19:19.060 that clearly this was a person who was messed up in the head to say the least and i look at these

00:19:25.400 tragic events that happened over the past few weeks uh that have been happening over the past few years

00:19:31.000 and i see the problem with the affirmation model uh the thing that matt walsh has so correctly and

00:19:38.000 again unfortunately been correct and speaking to i mean like think about it right like what are we

00:19:44.080 affirming uh by being what they call accepting we really only deepen the eventual damage that is lurking

00:19:53.780 under the surface i've got a picture here on screen of a tweet from matt walsh three years ago

00:19:59.280 three years ago he says i've been telling you for a long time that left-wing trans extremists are

00:20:05.220 violent dangerous people who have been made to feel absolutely entitled to say and do whatever they

00:20:09.820 want the deranged claims of genocide are an open invitation to violence it will only get worse

00:20:15.040 from here and he was absolutely right and that was three years ago and here we are in the present

00:20:21.700 do we have to expect that it will only get worse from even where we are now right like how many more

00:20:30.060 times does this have to happen how many more innocent people have to be collateral damage before

00:20:36.180 democrats say okay you know what maybe this whole trans thing could actually be a real and violent

00:20:43.960 problem uh and i think of my friend charlie kirk i would be remiss if in talking about this act of

00:20:53.880 trans violence if we didn't mention him uh again one of the most effective intellectual articulate minds

00:21:02.100 of our time across the board in talking about political topics and talk talking about theological

00:21:08.680 discussions just so bright and so effective with such influence over people just like me um i would be

00:21:17.700 remiss if i didn't mention him because he too was prematurely taken by an act of trans violence

00:21:25.440 and so what is the answer uh i don't know what the answer is but i can tell you what it's not

00:21:32.400 the answer is not gun control we hear that all the time democrats waste no time in when mass atrocities

00:21:39.520 are committed uh before touting from their ivory towers about gun control that that's not the answer

00:21:46.780 because guess what places like rhode island and certainly canada they already have very strict

00:21:52.220 uh gun laws in place i hate when people say gun control that has proven time and time again that

00:21:59.240 that doesn't work and why doesn't it work because criminals don't tend to trouble themselves with

00:22:04.980 laws by preventing gun ownership and restricting gun access you're just keeping the guns out of the

00:22:11.900 hands of good people and to that point it's not the guns that's killing innocent people it's the mentally

00:22:20.480 ill the mentally unstable people behind the gun pulling the trigger that is who is committing these

00:22:26.640 atrocities not the guns just like the fork doesn't make you fat it's the person holding the fork that

00:22:33.720 it is a consequence of their own actions one more point i want to make in having this discussion

00:22:39.580 outside of the trans violent rate itself is how the media responds to it again specifically left-wing

00:22:46.440 media i want you to listen to this clip of a police officer following the shooting in canada

00:22:52.800 that includes the deceased gun person okay and then separately do you know the gun person's

00:22:58.940 relationship to gun person a trans shooter a man open fires in canada killing 10 people including

00:23:08.300 himself and 25 plus wounded and police are so terrified of misgendering him that they're calling

00:23:14.780 the suspect a gun person instead of a gunman honestly if you hear the word gunman and you're offended

00:23:21.620 may i suggest going to touch grass you are the problem if you hear the word gunman and you are

00:23:28.680 offended this is peak insanity uh i'll be honest like i don't have a lot of nuance and pronouns in

00:23:35.960 general uh so you know like respecting pronouns uh but respecting the pronouns of a mass shooter

00:23:43.240 uh don't they realize in doing this that they are spitting in the face of the victims that's what

00:23:49.120 they're doing why does a murderer doesn't matter if he's trans or not by the way why does a murderer

00:23:53.860 get state sanctioned government sanctioned pr team while families are burying their loved ones

00:24:00.300 really like is that what the priorities are here you can call me mean you can call me this lost soul with

00:24:08.180 a lack of empathy i really don't care i stand with the victims and i stand with their families not the

00:24:15.600 ideology that killed them uh and in talking about the media i have to believe that if it had been

00:24:23.840 a trans victim like like roles reversed here if the victim had been trans the media would have talked

00:24:30.760 about this non-stop but they ignore it when the trans person is the perpetrator uh and that's when i think

00:24:39.060 your society is really over by the way like when the media when society at large actually when the

00:24:44.300 public square is more sensitive to the murderer than the victims uh that's when you know that society

00:24:51.780 is over um but we've seen this across the board really doesn't matter if it's a trans killer or if

00:24:59.360 it's a career criminal with like a super long rap sheet it's been arrested 72 times that the judge

00:25:03.920 continually lets out uh if the killer is higher on the oppression chart uh with white male being the

00:25:12.140 least oppressed and like a black trans person or an illegal immigrant being the most oppressed

00:25:18.560 that this is is really no surprise and so going back to the question of what is the answer

00:25:23.540 open the asylums i don't know uh this is something that president trump actually announced and and you

00:25:31.040 know the last few weeks that uh this is something that he will be doing again opening the asylums this

00:25:36.340 is long overdue that maybe that's what maga can stand for make asylums great again thank you guys
