Andrew Breitbart said, politics is downstream from culture.

I hope you're having a great start to your Wednesday morning with the big blue mug of coffee.
00:00:23.580
I don't sleep well and I was wide awake and I had an idea for a story.
00:00:32.940
In fact, I sent an email to myself late last night.
00:00:35.820
Well, late for me, 9 o'clock or so, with an idea for a video this morning.
00:00:40.520
And when I woke up at 1 o'clock, I had some other ideas and I sent myself four or five more emails
00:00:46.320
so I would remember the thoughts I had running through my head.
00:00:48.860
And then I realized I missed a story last night before I went to bed.
00:00:54.680
It's the number one story across Canada trending around the world right now.
00:01:06.960
10 dead, including suspect, and at least 25 injured in mass shooting in Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia.
00:01:14.180
And I saw this story and I thought, should I talk about this this morning?
00:01:24.760
Because there's a certain aspect of it that people will grab onto.
00:01:28.400
And I thought, no, I don't want to make this political.
00:01:35.040
But then I saw tweets like this from these lunatics online.
00:01:39.120
This guy is threatening people in the independence movement in Alberta.
00:01:44.640
It's so absolutely beyond sickening that there's an entire chunk of people right now
00:01:48.460
literally hoping the Tumblr Ridge shooter is a certain demographic so they can leverage
00:02:00.300
If the shooter of today's mass shooting in Canada turns out to be T, I'm not going to say it.
00:02:06.840
These people have promoted hatred against this tiny minority of people, pushing them to their
00:02:13.580
These people are basically saying, don't make this political.
00:02:16.800
And by saying, don't make it political, they have made it political.
00:02:20.100
I want to talk about this because it's the top story right now.
00:02:24.740
So if this person turns out to be, and from what we understand, initially this was announced
00:02:31.820
Now we're hearing word that this person had an issue with their gender identity and we're
00:02:41.840
I'm wondering if there's a little bit of a problem when it comes to this particular group
00:02:52.300
If the people you just saw on the screen who obviously have a similar issue had belonged
00:02:59.200
to a 4-H club, don't you think the government, the authorities, the police would be looking
00:03:06.700
into that club to see what was going wrong in their heads for them to do something like
00:03:12.660
Now, you may be yelling at your screen right now saying a majority of these things are
00:03:19.080
And you would be, I think, correct in saying that.
00:03:22.040
But I think we would all agree, regardless of where we stand on the political spectrum,
00:03:25.840
that anybody that would do something like happened in British Columbia yesterday is mentally
00:03:30.680
And I think we want to get to the bottom of what caused that mental illness.
00:03:33.960
And I think with the group of people you just saw on the screen, there's a pretty damn
00:03:38.320
And I don't even know the motivation of the person that did this yesterday, other than
00:03:44.980
But instead of doing something about it, we pander to it because you get crap like this.
00:03:49.720
Blank shooter opens fire in Canada, 10 dead, 25 plus wounded.
00:03:55.180
Police are so terrified of misgendering, they're calling the suspect a gun person instead of
00:04:07.040
And then separately, do you know the gun person's relationship to the...
00:04:10.600
No doubt the people who think we shouldn't politicize this will start lecturing us any minute
00:04:15.260
about using the correct pronouns for the person that did this yesterday, because that's the
00:04:21.720
And here's something I've been thinking about for a long time when it comes to this issue.
00:04:27.760
If a young girl weighs 80 pounds and has anorexia nervosa and looks in a mirror and sees herself
00:04:37.120
We get them mental health care because they obviously have a problem.
00:04:40.740
But if a young boy looks in a mirror today in Canada and they see themselves as a girl,
00:04:45.620
We have to affirm their care and we give them drugs.
00:04:50.540
What they really need is to talk to somebody about their gender identity issues, because
00:04:54.880
we know eventually kids grow out of this kind of stuff.
00:05:00.160
Ask yourself if you're in your 50s or 60s, were there any kids like this when you were
00:05:10.060
And all they need to do is maybe talk to somebody about their issues.
00:05:13.700
They're adolescents, they're teenagers, they're going through puberty.
00:05:17.420
But we can't even do that in Canada now because it is political because we passed a law about
00:05:24.160
This is Bill C-4 and this passed unanimously in the House of Commons and Senate, meaning
00:05:32.180
If you had a child that has a gender identity issue in Canada, you can't even do it.
00:05:38.020
There's not a doctor in Canada or a psychologist or psychiatrist in the whole country that will
00:05:43.040
touch you with a 10-foot pole because it's against the law.
00:05:46.500
An act to amend the criminal code conversion therapy.
00:05:53.320
Bill C-4 would amend the criminal code to prohibit certain activities that relate to conversion
00:05:57.560
therapy, which is defined as a practice, treatment, or service designed to change a person's sexual
00:06:04.440
And that's what I thought conversion therapy was.
00:06:06.780
But in clown cuckoo world that is Canada, we have to go one step farther, change a person's
00:06:12.260
gender identity to cisgender, a bogus made-up word, by the way, change a person's gender
00:06:17.620
expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth.
00:06:24.220
If you are a sex at birth, that would be male or female.
00:06:29.480
But even recently, here at a convention here in Calgary for the Conservative Party, this
00:06:36.600
And if you're a Conservative, your party voted against this.
00:06:40.680
Tories support tougher crime laws, reject gender-affirming care proposal.
00:06:49.400
The topic of gender identity also caused a stir on the convention floor.
00:06:53.000
Delegates were asked to vote on a proposal affirming the right of parents to seek body-affirming
00:06:59.500
talk therapy, talking to a psychiatrist, for children who are struggling with their gender
00:07:04.940
The proposal was the only one to fail, with nearly 52% of delegates voting against it.
00:07:22.820
This was posted regarding getting mental health support, because some people may be really
00:07:30.020
Unfortunately, the mental health care that was needed was probably before the shooter ever
00:07:41.800
And this is what I thought about first off this morning.
00:07:44.320
I wasn't thinking about the gender identity issue, because I really hate talking about this
00:07:49.100
But how are the Liberals going to use this to support their gun confiscation program?
00:07:57.380
And the Conservatives don't want them to take the guns.
00:08:01.260
So how are they going to use it politically in their favor?
00:08:05.500
They're looking for a way to get to an election, folks.
00:08:09.840
The Conservatives want people to be able to keep guns.
00:08:12.700
Look what happened in British Columbia the other day.
00:08:15.840
Because that's the political thing I'm expecting to happen very soon in a question period happening
00:08:27.360
I'll talk about issues that are really important to you as well later, how the government's wasting
00:08:33.520
