In the wake of the mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, the media and the general public are quick to point the finger at the transgender community. Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and Human Events, is here to help break down these horrific events.
00:02:56.500She does identify as transgender, yes.
00:03:01.860Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:03:06.900Our show here is powered from Point URSA.
00:03:10.020Today is the 3rd of March, excuse me, March 28, 3-28-2023, Anadam.
00:03:20.260What we've just experienced, this country has just experienced, and what a Christian school down in Nashville has just experienced is known as the Trans Day of Vengeance.
00:03:40.500This Christian school massacred in broad daylight by a deranged individual carrying out some kind of sick plan.
00:03:56.340The media is telling us that this was done in response to legislation passed by the Tennessee governor, Governor Lee, which then led to the targeting of this school.
00:04:12.900Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and Human Events, is here with us to help break down these horrific events.
00:04:21.840Libby, I'd like to ask you the question, how did we get to the point where Christian children are being massacred in schools on what we're told is the Trans Day of Vengeance?
00:06:46.660But they've said that there is actually a political movement behind it.
00:06:51.400They created a conspiracy theory for these incidents to say that there's a political movement in America that's somehow supporting these crimes.
00:06:59.040And that's now apparently, as we're seeing, it seems as though this this horrific incident down in Tennessee, this massacre was perpetuated by someone who may have believed in this trans genocide conspiracy theory and then acted out in response.
00:07:18.540We're told there are writings that were found in the car, a manifesto that was found in the home has not yet been released.
00:07:23.940There's reports that the FBI may have confiscated that from the local police.
00:07:27.860I think that we should see that in full, obviously.
00:07:31.320And we do know that there are children who were killed this week that were massacred and they were Christian children.
00:08:17.080Jack Posobiec here with Libby Edmonds.
00:08:18.360We're talking more about this horrific act, which, as we've said, it bears all the hallmarks of domestic terrorism.
00:08:24.900Done three weeks after this law was signed by Governor Lee down in Tennessee, banning these trans procedures for minors.
00:08:34.640Takes place in the same week that people were calling for trans activists were calling for a transgender day of vengeance.
00:08:43.560In fact, there was a statement, and I've got it here from the Trans Resistance Action, excuse me, Trans Resistance Network and the Trans Resistance Network.
00:08:58.120And I know, Libby, you were looking at this statement as well.
00:08:59.820They've essentially put this out saying that while they while they denounce the act, they say we point out that today's incident in Nashville is not one tragedy, but to the first tragedy is the loss of the three children and the adults.
00:09:14.220But the second and more complex tragedy is that Aiden or Aubrey, I think it's actually Audrey, Hale, who felt he had no other effect.
00:09:26.120You know, I've got to make sure to use the right pronouns there, felt that he had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out than by taking the name, the life of others.
00:09:34.980And by consequence himself, double check nowhere in this, nowhere in this statement, did they mention a single name of one of the martyrs who was killed today in Nashville or killed yesterday in Nashville?
00:09:46.560Nowhere in this, they talk about trans.
00:09:48.340They talk about anxiety, depression, PTSD, et cetera.
00:09:51.120And, and, and they're also saying we remind the last line, this is, this is incredible.
00:09:56.000We remind the news media to respect the self-identified pronouns of transgender individuals who come across your desk, Aiden Hale self-identified with he, him pronouns on forward-facing sites.
00:10:07.620We urge you to avoid pandering to those individuals on the right who will use this.
00:10:11.820How dare, how dare you misgender a transgender terrorist?
00:10:18.840How dare you that, you know, he, of course, may have killed all of these children, but don't you dare go in and commit an even worse tragedy than misgendering this terrorist?
00:10:33.320Libby, I'm sorry, I'm reading this thing.
00:10:41.120You know about the person, what, and, and, and, and how, how has this happened?
00:10:44.980Um, yeah, we know that Hale was an artist, uh, identified as transgender.
00:10:51.800I do think that it's a tragedy for Hale's life, for Hale's family, that this, um, happened, that this is what she decided to do.
00:11:00.380I do think that that's a tragedy for her mother.
00:11:02.980Um, and I think that every mother can, can relate to that, you know, and I do think that that matters.
00:11:07.660But I don't think that, um, her actions should overshadow the tragedy that she enacted on everybody else in Nashville and, you know, on these children specifically and their families.
00:11:21.900And of course, this is not the kind of rhetoric that we ever see coming from, um, you know, when you, when you see the Buffalo shooter, uh, that was a horrifying, you know, incident.
00:11:33.240Could you imagine anybody coming out and starting to discuss the tragedy that he enacted on his own family and himself?
00:11:41.680You know, you would never see anything like that.
00:11:45.040Um, yeah, this bill that was passed by, uh, Governor Lee, as you mentioned, banning drag shows for kids and banning the medical mutilation of minors in service to gender ideology.
00:11:57.720This is something that the trans movement is pushing so hard.
00:12:02.760They really want there to be trans kids.
00:12:05.540And whenever we speak up and politicians and people in the media and doctors speak up and say, hey, leave these kids alone.
00:12:22.300Do we know, um, do we know specifically if this person was, uh, you know, was, was undergoing any of these procedures, the ones that you're talking about?
00:12:38.840What are some of the hormones that would be used and would testosterone be one of them?
00:12:42.580Yeah, so typically what happens if you are female and you decide that you want to try and appear as the opposite sex and be recognized by, uh, you know, by the public as the opposite sex, because you can't actually change your sex.
00:12:58.800All you can really do is try to appear as the opposite sex.
00:13:02.240And I feel fully that when people say that they want to live as a man or live as a woman, what they want is for society to treat them the way that they see other men and women, uh, being treated.
00:13:15.600It seems so aesthetic and, uh, an outside in process where these feelings come from.
00:13:22.560Uh, so what you would do is you would take testosterone.
00:13:27.360I think, um, is, is how testosterone typically is taken.
00:13:31.220There's also testosterone creams that can be used.
00:13:35.040And these have a really detrimental impact on women.
00:13:38.520At first, uh, women who take testosterone feel a great measure of confidence, which my guess is that lots of men relate to and say, yeah, testosterone gives a lot of confidence, but that doesn't last.
00:13:51.220Um, and there are really, really, uh, deteriorating health effects from taking testosterone, including uterine and vaginal atrophy, um, and problems with bone density.
00:14:04.160Well, in addition to that, testosterone and, and, you know, studies have borne this out that, um, testosterone certainly increases aggression.
00:14:12.980And this is that, you know, that men deal with through the early stages of their life, you know, some, some better than others.
00:14:28.020And if I want that toy, I'm going to grab that toy and, and, and you'll use that physical, uh, reaction to it.
00:14:34.020But then even through adolescence, getting into high school, et cetera.
00:14:36.640But as you get older and something that even Jordan Peterson talks about that, that men understand that all, all male to male interactions have a subtext of violence, that we understand that violence could be an option, yet it's something that we've learned to deal with.
00:14:51.380And that's, that's largely driven by this spiritual and biological urge that's within men to, uh, to be the defenders, to be the physical aggressor in some cases, if, if needed, but on the biological side, that's obviously driven by, by testosterone.
00:15:05.080And so this idea that you can give this, this, uh, hormone to someone who already has, uh, some, these, these, and gender dysphoria is still classified as a mental disorder that, that these imbalances that we don't even know what's going on.
00:15:21.580We've got to cut to a commercial break because I want to remind everybody that as the parallel economy continues to grow, we've seen a ton of conservative coffee companies.
00:15:57.780It's a coffee company, 100% committed to conservative values from sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support, and shipping.
00:16:05.480Blackout coffee has got an incredible work ethic and will accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:16:22.260Now, Libby, you were telling us earlier in the show about this idea, this conspiracy theory essentially that's out there called transgenocide.
00:16:36.360And I'm starting to see this more than when I look for it on Twitter.
00:16:38.900There's a Wikipedia article that's like – it's huge.
00:16:42.160It's like a 15,000-word Wikipedia article on this thing, and they've got, you know, Brazil and the United States, Nazi Germany, all sorts of craziness.
00:17:05.640But, okay, that's essentially – I look at it the same way that I would look at ISIS propaganda, and then they tie these bills into it with Governor Lee.
00:17:14.720They tie the hormone – you know, the blocking of hormones from minors.
00:17:18.820And there's a whole – by the way, if we had more time, I'd get into this – this idea that because we as – we have a spiritual and biological urge to reproduce.
00:17:26.800But if you can't physically reproduce, then you must reproduce through indoctrination and pharmaceutical cocktails like this.
00:17:35.740And so what – the only way for someone to enact that is to indoctrinate children and put them into these procedures.
00:17:43.540They're actually – they're acting in those inherent urges.
00:17:59.320What's actually happening with those cases?
00:18:01.240So in 2022, I believe the number was 34 transgender individuals who were killed in the United States.
00:18:09.100And I took a look at all of the names that were put out by the Human Rights Campaign, all of these transgender individuals, just to check out and see what the local reporting was on these homicides.
00:18:23.820In many of the cases, it was a result of domestic violence.
00:18:28.040Other cases were the result of physical altercations, fights, things like this.
00:18:33.460Drug use played a role and also prostitution played a role in a lot of these deaths.
00:18:39.480And many of the deaths also were not solved.
00:18:42.740But it seemed like the person was involved in a kind of lifestyle that can contribute to more violence, as sad as that is.
00:18:52.400Also, you mentioned Brazil, and Brazil is hugely important in this conversation because many of the numbers that have come out about the prevalence of murders of transgender people originated in Brazil.
00:19:06.360And these were entirely sex workers who were murdered in Brazil as part of that occupation.
00:19:15.960These were men who were posing as women who were murdered while engaging in prostitution.
00:19:23.220So the numbers that you see coming out from Human Rights Watch and when you hear the president even talk about, you know, violence against trans people and trans genocide and all of this stuff, you have to remember very fully that these numbers are remarkably small.
00:19:38.660There is no evidence that these people were targeted due to their gender identity.
00:19:43.780The numbers are still surprisingly smaller than numbers of women killed in the course of domestic violence, you know, and that kind of the violence against women.
00:19:54.460So as we see this rhetoric spun out on social media, we have to realize that it is designed to elicit compassion.
00:20:04.620It is designed to elicit rage, and it is designed increasingly, it appears, to create circumstances of violence.
00:20:13.800There's a group, I think they were in Vermont just recently, this was a report from NPR in February about a group called Rainbow something or the Rainbow Road, something like this.
00:20:26.540And they were arming themselves, these were transgender individuals arming themselves because of the violence that they are experiencing against trans people.
00:20:37.160Another thing that I think it's really important to note is the big white men that you see out there who are claiming to be women.
00:20:44.220No one is going after these guys, these big Viking looking guys who, you know, you can see their five o'clock shadow and wear a bunch of makeup and claim that they are lesbians.
00:20:53.000No one is targeting these men, and these are the men who are going out and engaging in violence against women who try to speak up for their rights.
00:21:03.160We saw this in New Zealand with Kelly J. Keene, who had to be escorted away from her Let Women Speak tour directly to the airport and out of the country for fear of her life.
00:21:13.640We saw large men there beating up elderly women who were speaking up for their rights to have their own bathrooms and to not have to be in locker rooms at local swimming pools and things like this with men.
00:21:27.320So I think it's really important to take a close look at this and to realize that we are being lied to for the purpose of eliciting sympathy for a cause that just does not exist and is, as you say, designed to capture children and bring them into that fold.
00:21:44.100Is there any information to discuss the actual perpetrators of these events? Are we talking, are these right-wing Christian death squads? Are these, is this Christian priests? Is this a new Inquisition?
00:22:01.680Are there demographic profiles that would suggest any type of link or correlate whatsoever?
00:22:06.100These are, these are, these are a lot of, these are a lot of men on the left.
00:22:11.240Uh, we see Antifa militants guarding drag shows in Texas so that parents can't speak up and, and say, you know, kids don't need to be a murder.
00:22:22.340I mean the, the, the, uh, the murderers though.
00:22:24.800The murderers? I haven't seen a whole lot to suggest who these murderers are, but primarily these murderers of trans individuals are people who are intimately involved.
00:22:35.340And these people's lives. It's, there's a lot of domestic violence. Uh, there's a lot of drug crime and there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of, you know, sex crime basically.
00:22:45.000At the end of the day, Libby, we're living in a country now where I had a text from a mom in Pennsylvania who said, I dropped my children off to their Catholic school today.
00:22:54.500And I looked at their uniforms and the uniforms of all the kids walking in, and I couldn't help but think of the uniforms of the kids running out of that school yesterday in Nashville.
00:23:05.600I haven't heard the Christian leaders speaking out on this, and that's something that I'm going to be increasingly vocal about, especially people that were charging people for that paid Christian prayer.
00:23:16.880Come pray with us for $8.99 a month, you know.
