Louder with Crowder - REBUTTAL: DEBUNKING JOHN OLIVER'S 'TRANS RIGHTS' VIDEO POINT BY POINT! | Louder with Crowder

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Whistleblower here.

00:00:22.000 Recently, Steven Crowder took a long hiatus from his show because of some bad complications from surgery.

00:00:27.000 Apparently his lung collapsed or something.

00:00:29.000 But don't feel too bad for him yet, because I'm here to tell you that everything went according to plan.

00:00:35.000 Buckle up, because this one gets crazy.

00:00:37.000 Steven Crowder is actually...

00:00:39.000 Amy Schumer.

00:00:43.000 I got into this rabbit hole after noticing Amy Schumer was taping her new TV series

00:00:52.000 around the same time Crowder was going into surgery.

00:00:58.000 This proves that Chowder is surgically augmenting himself every time he goes on vacation to live his second life as Amy Schumer.

00:01:06.000 Think about it.

00:01:07.000 They use their rivalries with each other to make themselves more famous, playing both sides so they always win.

00:01:13.000 And I already know what you're thinking.

00:01:15.000 What about the time they were both on Fox News?

00:01:17.000 I'm already two steps ahead of you.

00:01:19.000 It's a classic Hollywood split-frame trick.

00:01:23.000 So now, the only question that remains is which came first?

00:01:27.000 The Chowder?

00:01:29.000 Or the Schumer?

00:01:31.000 Or are they something different altogether?

00:01:34.000 That's all for now.

00:01:35.000 I'll see you guys in the next one.

00:01:37.000 Whistleblower out. 0.98

00:01:39.000 I'm not a whistleblower.

00:01:41.000 I'm a whistleblower.

00:02:24.000 That is the sound, I guess, of Monday, and it's the sound of... Do you ever forget to breathe?

00:02:29.000 What?

00:02:29.000 We were rushing and we were hustling to get ready for the show, and John Oliver, you know, who will be a wonderful trophy after today's show, and then you just realize you forget to breathe sometimes.

00:02:37.000 Just breathe is always playing in my head.

00:02:39.000 That's true.

00:02:40.000 Faith Hill was right.

00:02:40.000 So was Chris Carravo with Dashboard Confessional.

00:02:43.000 Amen.

00:02:43.000 Remember, she asked you.

00:02:44.000 Remember to breathe.

00:02:45.000 So, look, my first question to you is, will you start using Parler once Kanye buys it?

00:02:50.000 That's what's happening today, but we had a whole segment ready to go on former Vice President Joe Biden being creepy with children, but more importantly, some things that people miss, but we'll move that to tomorrow because John Oliver is trending right now.

00:03:03.000 And look, I say this without a hint of hyperbole, they're coming for your kids.

00:03:07.000 There's a 26-minute segment making the case as to why it's a good thing for children to transition, for children to get on puberty blockers, and it's an attempt to gaslight you.

00:03:18.000 We'll get it.

00:03:19.000 We have so much to get into.

00:03:19.000 It gets a little bit wonky, but all references are available at ladderwithcreditor.com.

00:03:23.000 We want to leave no doubt as it relates to the empirical.

00:03:27.000 Gerald, how are you?

00:03:28.000 I am doing well.

00:03:30.000 My Irish got beat this weekend.

00:03:31.000 That's right, you went to Notre Dame.

00:03:32.000 For it, unfortunately.

00:03:34.000 Yeah, you spent all that time, and yet again you were embarrassed.

00:03:37.000 I made memories with my parents mostly of me being angry, but I made them.

00:03:41.000 Yes.

00:03:41.000 Well, why don't you cry about it?

00:03:44.000 He did.

00:03:45.000 He called me and he did.

00:03:46.000 I replenished after the stomach flu.

00:03:47.000 I just sat and I had a mission of just eating.

00:03:50.000 Ah!

00:03:50.000 Yes.

00:03:51.000 Well, that sounds more fun.

00:03:52.000 No, there have been negative ramifications to that as well.

00:03:54.000 I overshot it.

00:03:55.000 I went to Luminati's Pizza in Chicago.

00:03:57.000 Fantastic.

00:03:58.000 Oh, really?

00:03:58.000 So good.

00:03:59.000 Yeah.

00:03:59.000 I bet you he just, he didn't.

00:04:00.000 He went to his family joint, Domino's.

00:04:04.000 Domino's.

00:04:06.000 I'll show you where the locals eat.

00:04:07.000 You wouldn't know.

00:04:08.000 It's the Pizza Hut.

00:04:09.000 I've got an in.

00:04:10.000 It's amazing.

00:04:12.000 It's Little Cesare's.

00:04:13.000 Yes, Little Cesare's.

00:04:14.000 A nice place.

00:04:15.000 Homemade.

00:04:15.000 Just ask for the Gerald.

00:04:16.000 He'll take care of it.

00:04:18.000 Show you the bathroom.

00:04:19.000 No, I ate too much because I was trying to replenish and it was like the Apollo 13 thing where I'm going like, oh my gosh, do I have to slingshot around the moon?

00:04:27.000 Do I have to keep going in order to come back?

00:04:29.000 And I overdid it.

00:04:31.000 So, here we are.

00:04:31.000 And you know him, you love him.

00:04:32.000 Fastest man on his feet.

00:04:34.000 Quickest foot in the West.

00:04:35.000 Dave Landau.

00:04:36.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:04:36.000 Did you have a better weekend than Gerald? 0.99

00:04:38.000 I did.

00:04:38.000 I was in, uh, Ohio.

00:04:42.000 Oh! 0.60

00:04:44.000 Yeah, that's where I was.

00:04:45.000 A midwestern place.

00:04:46.000 I forgot.

00:04:47.000 It was good.

00:04:48.000 It was great.

00:04:48.000 A lot of fun fans.

00:04:50.000 A lot of good people, and they love you.

00:04:52.000 They love Gerald.

00:04:53.000 That'll be fun.

00:04:54.000 We'll now discuss the worst people among us here when we discuss not only John Oliver, but a few other things.

00:04:59.000 The people who agreed with John Oliver were not at the show.

00:05:02.000 No, I can't imagine.

00:05:02.000 They were in the ward.

00:05:03.000 So I don't know if you know this, but it's 2022.

00:05:05.000 Because it's 2022, the year changes biology.

00:05:07.000 So I don't even know, it's 2022.

00:05:10.000 And you know, women, because it's 2022, the year changes biology. 1.00

00:05:14.000 Women are not the only ones anymore who can get pregnant. 1.00

00:05:18.000 Now if you think that a man getting pregnant is weird, if you think it's weird, you're

00:05:23.000 a bigot.

00:05:24.000 Can we skip to the good part?

00:05:27.000 You've arrived at your destination.

00:05:30.000 You've arrived at your destination. 0.98

00:05:39.000 Well, I just want to die.

00:05:40.000 I'm glad they blurred.

00:05:43.000 You had to do the home birth to be extra weird about it?

00:05:45.000 Yes.

00:05:46.000 They do the dolphin birth where they go into the ocean like, the dolphins will give you everything and my son is gone.

00:05:51.000 Steals your child, yes.

00:05:52.000 Oh boy.

00:05:52.000 Have you seen the home birth where they just do it standing and like squatting in their house and it's like, could you move?

00:05:58.000 You're blocking the TV.

00:05:59.000 Yes.

00:06:02.000 I want to kill myself when I see how far we've gone, but I don't want to sully the good name of a sponsor.

00:06:07.000 So can someone bring me something at some point?

00:06:08.000 Any way in which to terminate myself that doesn't sully the name of a good sponsor.

00:06:14.000 That is not a Walther.

00:06:14.000 We'll find something.

00:06:16.000 Anything else, because they're true blue, but I want to die.

00:06:23.000 I feel bad for that child.

00:06:25.000 Yes.

00:06:25.000 Yes, you feel bad for that child.

00:06:26.000 The child looks like a happy, normal, lovely child, but there is going to come a day where that is going to be a very different- Molested?

00:06:33.000 Sorry.

00:06:34.000 No.

00:06:35.000 I'm just saying that that's just going to be a really weird, hard position to be in.

00:06:40.000 I love that we blurred the nipples, though.

00:06:41.000 I know.

00:06:42.000 I did too.

00:06:42.000 I was like, oh, thank goodness.

00:06:43.000 I didn't want to see that.

00:06:44.000 And I'm going to be honest with you.

00:06:45.000 It's because we don't really know the rules on that.

00:06:48.000 You have no idea.

00:06:49.000 It's like, what do we blur? 0.94

00:06:51.000 Let's just blur the nipples. 1.00

00:06:52.000 All of it. 0.99

00:06:52.000 But Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples. 0.99

00:06:55.000 Name that movie line. 0.99

00:06:56.000 Oh man, I hate how I can't play.

00:06:59.000 I know, I know.

00:07:00.000 You'll always win.

00:07:01.000 People will name it below.

00:07:03.000 This is what we were going to talk about today because it was happening this weekend.

00:07:07.000 But you've seen this clip.

00:07:09.000 We've moved it to tomorrow because there's something pretty thorough I want to address.

00:07:12.000 But here's the clip for those who don't know. 0.92

00:07:13.000 creepy pedo former Vice President Joe Biden being what he be. 0.52

00:07:31.000 No serious guys until you're 30. 0.98

00:07:35.000 So everyone's talking about how creepy it is and of course if you're a father who would let someone treat your daughter that way, you probably are, I mean just, you should give up your child to me.

00:07:43.000 I would rather you give them to the male, the Z. I was gonna say, can we go back to that palate cleanser? 0.99

00:07:50.000 There's something there that is far more severe and I think far more impactful than just him lightly groping her.

00:07:57.000 Comment below if you see what it is, because we're going to address it tomorrow.

00:08:00.000 I think people are missing the macro picture there, which it's for the girls. 0.99

00:08:03.000 It's this one's for the girls. 1.00

00:08:05.000 Tomorrow's show is for the girls. 0.99

00:08:06.000 There we go.

00:08:06.000 Some of the some of the I'll just say, OK, it's the advice.

00:08:10.000 Spoiler alert.

00:08:12.000 I don't know how to, there's only one phrase, so you guys know what the phrase is.

00:08:15.000 I thought you were going to be like the Secret Service guy going, hey, make sure that guy doesn't record it anymore.

00:08:18.000 Oh gosh, Joe's going off script.

00:08:20.000 He's talking about girls again.

00:08:21.000 That's always a good sign if the Secret Service has it on their bullet point checklist to make sure no one's filming if he gets around a young girl.

00:08:29.000 Get the camera.

00:08:30.000 It's like for, you know, President Trump, they'd be like, let's keep him off of Twitter because you get with Joe Biden, like keep him away from children.

00:08:37.000 Well, yeah.

00:08:38.000 They're not even going for the grope.

00:08:40.000 They're going for the phone.

00:08:41.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:08:42.000 Trump had a burner phone for Twitter.

00:08:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:08:45.000 To be using in the bathroom.

00:08:46.000 You'll never find my cricket!

00:08:50.000 I have Boost.

00:08:51.000 That Travis Barker really makes a good case.

00:08:53.000 Now.

00:08:54.000 Is Boost still a thing?

00:08:56.000 Amped and Boost?

00:08:57.000 I have no idea.

00:08:58.000 I don't even know where you'd get that.

00:08:59.000 It used to be at the kiosk at the mall.

00:09:01.000 Is that where it was?

00:09:02.000 Yeah.

00:09:02.000 They'd be like, you get all the same benefits, except for speed, except for texting, except for calls.

00:09:06.000 I always keep my head down and pretend I'm deaf because they try to talk to you. 1.00

00:09:09.000 Yes.

00:09:09.000 They're like, no, no, no, no, you're not a person.

00:09:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:11.000 When you walk through the mall and they go, hey, why aren't you talking back to us?

00:09:15.000 Because this isn't a street vendor in Iran, okay?

00:09:19.000 This is not okay.

00:09:22.000 Trying to go to Yankee Candle Store.

00:09:23.000 I don't want to have a carnival barker.

00:09:25.000 I'm already having a bad day.

00:09:25.000 With hermit crabs and spider Marvel painted shells.

00:09:29.000 Yeah.

00:09:29.000 You seen those?

00:09:30.000 The hermit crab exhibit where they have all the different painted shells?

00:09:32.000 No.

00:09:33.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:33.000 Yeah, it's great.

00:09:36.000 You actually stopped and went, like, oh, this is cool.

00:09:38.000 Oh, I've owned a few hermit crabs.

00:09:39.000 Do you have She-Hulk? 0.82

00:09:40.000 What's better than bedazzled phone cases?

00:09:44.000 Where it's like, let me see what kind of phone you have.

00:09:46.000 It's like, no, no, bad touch.

00:09:49.000 No.

00:09:51.000 That's the guy filming Joe Biden with the grill.

00:09:53.000 You should hear the crunching of the rhinestones.

00:09:56.000 Falling off.

00:09:57.000 Let's see if we can waste more of your money here. 0.91

00:09:58.000 Buy this one.

00:09:59.000 Okay, so this one is in Gerald's wheelhouse.

00:10:01.000 Again, before we get to John Oliver, it's going to be a pretty long rebuttal here today because I just wanted to focus.

00:10:06.000 I was fired up this morning.

00:10:07.000 A little bit.

00:10:07.000 This is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:10:09.000 The coach, Todd Bowles, set it up for me.

00:10:12.000 So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Todd Bowles, he's black.

00:10:16.000 So he's a black head coach in the league, which there's not a whole lot of those, and he's being asked some questions by reporters after playing against another black head coach, Tomlin, in Pittsburgh.

00:10:26.000 Yes, and then he gets whitesplained by a female reporter.

00:10:29.000 Have you seen this?

00:10:31.000 I've never seen anything more patronizing.

00:10:32.000 You're going to have to watch some of this through your fingers, but just keep in mind, this is what the left believes, and occasionally it slips.

00:10:40.000 Here it is.

00:10:40.000 I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.

00:10:43.000 I wonder what your relationship is like with them and your thoughts on Steve Wilkes joining that fold.

00:10:47.000 I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.

00:10:50.000 We don't look at what color we are when we coast against each other.

00:10:55.000 We just know each other.

00:10:56.000 I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well.

00:11:01.000 And I don't think it's a big deal as far as us being coaching against each other.

00:11:05.000 I think it's normal.

00:11:06.000 Hopefully he does it.

00:11:10.000 And we coach ball.

00:11:11.000 We don't look at color.

00:11:15.000 Your merit doesn't mean anything.

00:11:24.000 Well when you say you see you guys and look like them and grew up like them means that we're eyeballs to begin with and I think the minute you guys start stop making a big deal about it everybody else will as well.

00:11:39.000 Let me translate.

00:11:41.000 What she should have said was she was talking about whitesplaining.

00:11:43.000 She's going, you do realize that representation matters. 0.97

00:11:46.000 Like, as a black, they hired you because you're a black.

00:11:48.000 She's like, let me try and put this in ways you can maybe you can understand. 0.98

00:11:53.000 You know, man, you were high because you're black, right? 1.00

00:11:55.000 Because the coach ain't not enough.

00:11:56.000 Coach is representation.

00:11:58.000 Do you agree? 1.00

00:11:59.000 And his, what he really wanted to say was, BITCH! 1.00

00:12:02.000 He started rubbing his brow into your monologue. 1.00

00:12:05.000 He's like, really?

00:12:05.000 You do know that representation, right?

00:12:07.000 Well, thanks for letting me know, white bitch. 1.00

00:12:10.000 I appreciate it. 1.00

00:12:12.000 You're gonna be really happy to find out that a lot of the players are black.

00:12:15.000 Yes, yes, yes. 0.92

00:12:16.000 Well, that's what they say. 0.98

00:12:17.000 They're like, oh, the ownership's just keeping black coaches out because they don't like black people. 0.94

00:12:21.000 I'm like, have you looked at the roster? 0.91

00:12:23.000 Yeah.

00:12:23.000 There's a lot of people on that roster that are not white, and that's perfectly fine with them.

00:12:28.000 Yeah, so you think that Larry Bird called the Bill Ampere?

00:12:32.000 That's it.

00:12:33.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:12:35.000 He used to talk mad trash. 1.00

00:12:37.000 And black guys loved it. 1.00

00:12:38.000 They were like, oh, he was hard to guard just because he would talk all this trash. 0.99

00:12:40.000 Oh, so did Bill Lambeer. 0.96

00:12:42.000 Yeah, part of the bad boys.

00:12:43.000 You just talk about how rich his dad was and pissed people off.

00:12:48.000 Can we acknowledge genetics as it relates to, you know, as it relates racially when it comes to athleticism?

00:12:53.000 The better.

00:12:54.000 Black people tend to be very good at a lot of these sports.

00:12:56.000 It's a meritocracy.

00:12:58.000 Dominicans seem to be way better at baseball than anybody.

00:13:02.000 Yeah, well that's often because their dad places them in a closet and beats them for weeks on end.

00:13:05.000 Hey, whatever works.

00:13:06.000 You mean the Tiger Woods strategy?

00:13:12.000 You do understand that representation matters.

00:13:15.000 And this is going to bring us into the John Oliver thing.

00:13:17.000 It is largely white women, unfortunately. 1.00

00:13:20.000 White women who are pushing this crap. 1.00

00:13:22.000 What happened to take a backseat and listen to black women? 1.00

00:13:24.000 Because as it relates to trans issues, as it relates to sports issues, guess what? 0.64

00:13:27.000 They don't share the same opinion as a lot of white women. 1.00

00:13:29.000 That is everything that is wrong with America, is what she just said.

00:13:32.000 Yeah.

00:13:33.000 He represents, he's one of three black head coaches in the league right now, or there's two at least.

00:13:38.000 And I think she had mentioned somebody else joining the fold.

00:13:40.000 I think he got another head coaching job.

00:13:42.000 Three.

00:13:42.000 And you just told the guy who should care about this the most what he should think about it.

00:13:48.000 Right.

00:13:49.000 He told you, like, I kind of feel like you guys are making a big deal out of something that we don't really think a whole lot about.

00:13:53.000 And you're like, oh, no, no, no.

00:13:55.000 You're not in any position to understand what this means.

00:13:59.000 I'm the black head coach in the NFL.

00:14:00.000 I'm the only person in the room that can understand what it means to be here and you're telling me I don't?

00:14:04.000 Yeah.

00:14:05.000 I've met black head coaches and I like the NFL and I didn't even know that statistic until just now when she brought it up.

00:14:12.000 Right.

00:14:13.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:14:13.000 I never thought about it.

00:14:14.000 We have a new Harvard-Harris poll that shows that only 6% of Americans said that race relations were a priority issue.

00:14:21.000 And it's usually a priority issue with suburban white women. 1.00

00:14:25.000 They make up 5.9% of the 6%.

00:14:28.000 Yes.

00:14:32.000 I don't know how you get out of this.

00:14:33.000 If it's, you know, hey, if you're colorblind, it's racist.

00:14:36.000 And so everything has to be about race.

00:14:38.000 What I hated about that clip, though, she's talking down to him. 0.64

00:14:41.000 Yeah.

00:14:41.000 The tone in her voice, just, you do realize that this matters.

00:14:46.000 It's like, no, I don't.

00:14:47.000 I make a lot of money because I worked really hard to be here.

00:14:50.000 You do realize that racial representation is like, Oh, hold on. 0.52

00:14:53.000 Can you repeat that?

00:14:54.000 I'm sorry.

00:14:55.000 I'm sorry, master.

00:14:56.000 I didn't quite understand.

00:14:57.000 Oh, that was all right, man.

00:14:59.000 Oh, yes, sir.

00:14:59.000 No, sir.

00:15:00.000 Yeah.

00:15:02.000 She's like, you know... He just starts soft shooing.

00:15:04.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:15:04.000 Like, is this better for you, bitch? 1.00

00:15:06.000 Is this better for you? 1.00

00:15:07.000 You want me to start reciting lines from the hip?

00:15:09.000 Oh, whoa.

00:15:11.000 I would just love for a guy to do that, because you know that's what he's thinking.

00:15:13.000 Oh, of course!

00:15:14.000 Well, I just love that he holds his head, which is the best nephew.

00:15:17.000 He's like, oh.

00:15:19.000 He's like, I just said it.

00:15:20.000 Yes.

00:15:21.000 I just answered his question.

00:15:22.000 And let me just point out, he did it very calmly, but he's like, and you said, you guys and those people and grew up like them.

00:15:28.000 Uh, did you hear yourself say that?

00:15:33.000 If I was any other person, I'd be like, what, you guys, and how did I?

00:15:36.000 I grew up in Bel-Air!

00:15:38.000 What are you talking about, lady?

00:15:39.000 Did he?

00:15:40.000 No.

00:15:40.000 I have no idea.

00:15:40.000 No, but who knows?

00:15:41.000 I mean, she's guessing, I bet. 0.89

00:15:43.000 Because he's black, he grew up poor in rural Alabama? 0.73

00:15:46.000 Like, I don't know.

00:15:46.000 How do you know?

00:15:47.000 Right.

00:15:47.000 Like, come on.

00:15:48.000 Alright.

00:15:49.000 Okay, let's move on to here, John Oliver.

00:15:52.000 Okay, so a couple things that I want to touch on here.

00:15:55.000 There's going to be an underlying theme here that you'll see recurring.

00:15:59.000 Namely, that when we're talking about the transgender issue, and particularly as it relates to children, they told you that it was a slippery slope logical fallacy.

00:16:07.000 Ironically, because there are many logical fallacies presented here today from John Oliver, when we said they're going to be targeting children.

00:16:15.000 Here it is.

00:16:15.000 They are.

00:16:16.000 There's no doubt about that.

00:16:16.000 And they're trying to gaslight you.

00:16:18.000 So the two themes I want you to see here and keep in mind is gaslighting. 0.99

00:16:22.000 You're crazy.

00:16:23.000 Why do you care so much about this issue that affects such a small percent of the population as they try to push legislation that would affect every member of the population? 0.97

00:16:31.000 And the idea of the empirical versus the anecdotal.

00:16:35.000 This is really important because we just came out of the era of trust.

00:16:37.000 The science.

00:16:38.000 But here they ignore all of science.

00:16:41.000 Instead, they decide to give the right of way to the anecdotal.

00:16:46.000 I encourage you to go and watch the entire video.

00:16:48.000 It's available on YouTube.

00:16:49.000 Gets a lot of heavy promotional dollars when John Oliver does these things.

00:16:53.000 It gets pushed everywhere.

00:16:55.000 If you search Stephen Crowder rebuttal John Oliver, you'll see John Oliver segments and you won't see ours.

00:17:00.000 So I want you to keep in mind empirical versus anecdotal and the idea of gaslighting

00:17:04.000 because we are dealing with narcissists.

00:17:05.000 We are dealing with people who believe that whatever makes them feel good, and largely that's praise of their constituents, must be right.

00:17:13.000 Makes me feel good, it's about how I feel, and they falsely equate that with happiness. 0.50

00:17:17.000 And narcissists seek control, and narcissists seek to make you think that you are crazy.

00:17:23.000 So that way, all of their behavior is permissible and no one actually calls them to the mat.

00:17:27.000 So, let's keep that in mind with John Oliver as we go through this point by point.

00:17:31.000 Sunday, October 17th, he released another segment.

00:17:34.000 This is a second segment on what he presents as transgender rights.

00:17:38.000 And by the way, they say transgender rights are human rights.

00:17:41.000 Let me make sure, just so you know where I'm coming from here.

00:17:44.000 As it relates to children, specifically, transgender rights, what they present, are not human rights. 1.00

00:17:50.000 They're atrocities that are being committed.

00:17:53.000 These are sacrifices of children at the altar of narcissism.

00:18:01.000 Okay.

00:18:01.000 Now, if you disagree, feel free to comment on any of the claims that we rebut below.

00:18:05.000 So let's go through it claim by claim.

00:18:08.000 Here is one that he makes as we lead it off where he tries to tell you that why do so many people care about an issue that affects so few people?

00:18:16.000 Even 12 states have signed into law anti-trans bills.

00:18:20.000 Doesn't tell you what the bills are.

00:18:21.000 So here's a claim that he makes right now about anti-trans bills to try and set it up as though you're an extremist.

00:18:27.000 Let's go.

00:18:28.000 It is clearly more than just bad jokes.

00:18:30.000 This year alone, over 100 anti-trans bills have been introduced in state houses, and 12 states have signed or enacted them, with all of this happening against a backdrop of violence and threats, including attacks and harassment aimed at hospitals providing gender-affirming care to youth.

00:18:45.000 Okay, so that's the claim.

00:18:46.000 Let's get to the truth here.

00:18:48.000 Again, the empirical.

00:18:49.000 He just says 12 states.

00:18:52.000 Do we know, does John Oliver make his sources publicly available?

00:18:54.000 Can you go to HBO and see?

00:18:56.000 Probably not.

00:18:56.000 Okay.

00:18:57.000 Not that app.

00:18:59.000 No.

00:19:00.000 I mean, how many salon and slate links do you need?

00:19:04.000 So, let's look at some of these so-called anti-trans bills.

00:19:06.000 All of our references are available.

00:19:07.000 Link in the description.

00:19:08.000 Arkansas.

00:19:09.000 They passed the Save the Adolescents from Experimentation Act.

00:19:12.000 Okay?

00:19:13.000 SAFE, for short.

00:19:14.000 Let me read it to you.

00:19:15.000 The new law bans the use of puberty-blocking drugs on minors and also prohibits surgical interventions, including breast reductions.

00:19:22.000 Now, most of you would say, including if you're a Democrat, that sounds reasonable.

00:19:29.000 And of course, why would this even need to be presented?

00:19:32.000 Because as a baseline, we would all agree that you shouldn't have surgical procedures being conducted as an experiment on children who don't have the ability to consent to even sex, let alone decisions that affect their sexual life for all.

00:19:44.000 All of eternity!

00:19:46.000 I don't know, in the afterlife.

00:19:48.000 It may come back.

00:19:49.000 It may.

00:19:50.000 I have no idea.

00:19:50.000 It grows back.

00:19:50.000 A little joke.

00:19:52.000 But here's the thing.

00:19:52.000 The reason they had to present that bill is because of the kinds of pushes that you see from John Oliver.

00:19:57.000 Case in point, Rhino governor there. 0.99

00:19:59.000 The Rhino governor, what's his name?

00:20:01.000 Hutchinson.

00:20:02.000 Hutchinson attempted to veto this bill.

00:20:06.000 But the veto was overridden and passed into law, which proves the necessity of the bill in the first place.

00:20:10.000 The reason they need to create a bill, that he says is an anti-trans bill, which specifically bans the use of puberty-blocking drugs on minors and surgical interventions.

00:20:21.000 That's the anti-trans bill. 0.97

00:20:22.000 Remember when we went from Target won't let them take a shit in the bathroom they want, and it's just like the pre-civil rights era? 0.99

00:20:29.000 Now it's you can't give puberty blockers or cut off a penis of A six, seven, fifteen year old, it's an anti-trans bill and the governor tried to veto it, which shows you the reason for the bill in the first place. 0.99

00:20:41.000 Let's go to Oklahoma. 0.67

00:20:43.000 Governor Stitt signed the Save Women's Sports Act.

00:20:46.000 Athletic teams designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex.

00:20:52.000 A bill for that?

00:20:53.000 Because it was happening.

00:20:54.000 Yeah.

00:20:55.000 It's been happening across the country.

00:20:57.000 Virginia, you see their new education policy says that students shall use bathrooms that correspond to his or her sex, except to the extent that federal law requires otherwise.

00:21:07.000 You can go look at all these bills that he presents as just anti-trans bills.

00:21:10.000 Again, the attempt there is to gaslight you, going, well, I'm not anti-trans, because you're not a bi- I don't hate- hold on a second, I wouldn't support those bills, because you probably believe that it's banning trans people from public forums.

00:21:21.000 These are very specific bills that were required precisely because of the kind of push that John Oliver makes.

00:21:26.000 By the way, it's a live show here Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:21:29.000 Eastern.

00:21:30.000 No idea how long we'll be on YouTube, especially this.

00:21:32.000 This is the third rail, so tune in, hit the button there.

00:21:35.000 Nothing will make me more happy than all of you going over to Rumble.

00:21:37.000 Or Mug Club.

00:21:38.000 And one of the things, look at every one of the common thread through each one of those things,

00:21:41.000 playing sports, school restrooms, right? These are people who are kids, right? We're not talking

00:21:47.000 about adults here doing this stuff in their 30s or 40s or 50s and making this kind of a decision

00:21:52.000 in their life. We're talking about a 10 year old coming to their parents and saying, I identify

00:21:56.000 this way and wanting to use a different bathroom and wanting to play on a different sports team.

00:22:01.000 These are kids that they're experimenting with, and they're actively saying that this is a good, healthy, productive thing.

00:22:07.000 Actively promoting it and trying to shut down any debate before it happens.

00:22:10.000 So here's a case in point, the next claim.

00:22:12.000 He goes on to accuse conservatives of demagoguing and sort of appealing to emotion.

00:22:18.000 And then John Oliver immediately uses, and I mean uses, exploits a child to appeal to your emotion in the absence of the empirical.

00:22:27.000 But let's also remember that it's not actually the left talking about trans rights non-stop.

00:22:32.000 It's Republicans who see an advantage in demagoguing this issue.

00:22:36.000 And to ignore them doing that is to allow them to have real calamitous impacts on people's lives.

00:22:42.000 A few years ago, Vice profiled a girl named Kai Shapley.

00:22:45.000 And just watch how happy she is talking about her hopes for a future until she remembers something that changes her mind.

00:22:51.000 And this has not been scripted or this girl coached?

00:22:55.000 Yeah?

00:22:56.000 Mm-hmm.

00:22:56.000 What would you change about the world if you were president?

00:23:00.000 Um, a chance people be free and go to the bathroom they want to go to.

00:23:07.000 Are you able to use the girls bathroom at school?

00:23:10.000 No.

00:23:11.000 And now they just put security guards up for the bathroom security or whatever.

00:23:17.000 Oh, I see.

00:23:21.000 That is brutal.

00:23:23.000 It is so dark, it's genuinely hard to watch.

00:23:25.000 Let me change one thing here before we get to the truth.

00:23:27.000 Well, I do agree with that part.

00:23:29.000 Yes, yes, it is very, yes.

00:23:30.000 Uh, let me change one thing before we get to the truth here is, uh, ask that child...

00:23:35.000 about anything else regarding policy if they were president.

00:23:39.000 And would you take it seriously?

00:23:40.000 Of course not!

00:23:41.000 But you're supposed to take it seriously when this, I believe, boy who's transitioned to a girl at that age says, I would make it so that we could use any bathroom we want.

00:23:50.000 And John Oliver takes it as legitimate.

00:23:52.000 If you ask them about foreign policy, if you ask them about immigration policy, I don't know anything.

00:23:58.000 They're a kid. 1.00

00:23:59.000 Kids are stupid. 1.00

00:24:00.000 When it comes to permanent life-altering decisions, Yeah, absolutely. 1.00

00:24:04.000 Why?

00:24:04.000 Why would you care what they... They don't know.

00:24:06.000 Do you think all pizza should be free on Tuesdays?

00:24:09.000 Yeah.

00:24:10.000 Oh, I have to agree.

00:24:10.000 Well, there you have it.

00:24:12.000 We have to have Little Caesar's Day every day.

00:24:15.000 Do you like going to bed on time?

00:24:17.000 I hate that.

00:24:18.000 Oh, look how she changed. 1.00

00:24:19.000 We're going to do away with national curfews, you idiot, first! 1.00

00:24:22.000 Yep. 1.00

00:24:23.000 All the ice cream you can have on Saturday.

00:24:25.000 Yep.

00:24:26.000 And it's free.

00:24:27.000 I love, by the way, I love that he went to her first.

00:24:30.000 Because we'll come back to her later on when she's 11 years old, speaking.

00:24:33.000 So she's 10, 9 potentially there.

00:24:36.000 That's what you want, John.

00:24:38.000 A 9 year old making these decisions.

00:24:40.000 Or a 10 year old making these decisions.

00:24:42.000 And by the way, when you said, look how happy she is.

00:24:45.000 I don't know that anybody in the room that saw that would go bubbly, happy, playful, more like incredibly awkward.

00:24:53.000 It's not like the Oscar Mayer kid in the duck.

00:24:54.000 No.

00:24:55.000 Because he lost it.

00:24:56.000 You're just trying to set it up like she's happy, then she becomes sad, and it's like, that's not what we just saw.

00:25:00.000 No, that's not what we just saw.

00:25:01.000 That's not what we just saw.

00:25:02.000 Really a security guard, like if she's walking into the girl's bathroom, he's like, hey, hey, stop.

00:25:08.000 Deadnaming her.

00:25:11.000 Throwing her against the wall. 0.99

00:25:12.000 Right.

00:25:13.000 That's what they would, exactly.

00:25:14.000 So here's the truth, by the way, too.

00:25:16.000 The empirical.

00:25:16.000 Here are some of the statistics on child outcomes.

00:25:18.000 For decades, there have been follow-up studies of transgender children.

00:25:21.000 They've shown that a substantial majority, anywhere from 65% on the low end to 94%, eventually completely cease to identify as transgender.

00:25:29.000 Wow.

00:25:30.000 Okay, and if you don't intervene, they all grow out of it.

00:25:34.000 If you do intervene, that number goes down to, some studies show as low as 0%.

00:25:38.000 And by the way, the child conversion rate has increased by over 4,000% in the last decade, especially among young girls.

00:25:45.000 I get it, correlation doesn't equal causation, but we'll get to that in a second.

00:25:49.000 That's also a lot faster than the adult transition rate, just to be clear.

00:25:51.000 And saying a lot faster is a very mild way of putting it.

00:25:54.000 It is almost all happening with kids.

00:25:56.000 Yes.

00:25:57.000 Four thousand's a lot.

00:25:58.000 Yeah, four thousand percent increase.

00:26:00.000 Well, they want you to believe it's because now they're more free because before they were being oppressed worse than American slaves because they couldn't take a dump at the gender-neutral bathroom in Walmart.

00:26:09.000 So this is what caused the major depression for the kids, and what will fix it is injecting them with estrogen.

00:26:14.000 So let's go on to the next claim that John Oliver makes.

00:26:17.000 And again, these are so pernicious.

00:26:18.000 It's just, it is, I would say it's evil when you are saying that children should be making these decisions and you are trying to strip the rights of parents who believe, not who believe, who understand the science that it's not good for children to fundamentally alter their hormones or make permanent decisions regarding their sexual capabilities.

00:26:36.000 So here's another claim that he makes that conservatives have nothing else to worry about.

00:26:39.000 That you're crazy because you're just making a mountain out of a molehill with the whole trans-athlete thing. 1.00

00:26:47.000 Eighteen states have passed laws aimed at protecting youth sports.

00:26:51.000 And South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem even made her state's bill a centerpiece of a campaign ad.

00:26:57.000 Now, Governor Noem has a bill that will give South Dakota the strongest law in the nation protecting female sports.

00:27:04.000 If you time-traveled here from the past, and the first thing you saw was this ad, you would think two things.

00:27:09.000 One, wow, the campaign centers around youth sports.

00:27:12.000 I guess literally every other problem in America has been solved.

00:27:15.000 And two, she is not pulling off that cowboy hat.

00:27:19.000 Yeah, also, if you were an alien biologist who came here to Earth, you'd be like, oh, we are not able to understand how they reproduce with between the male and... And they would just short-circuit.

00:27:29.000 Yes.

00:27:31.000 So here's the truth.

00:27:31.000 I kind of like the cowboy hat.

00:27:33.000 I like the cowboy hat as well.

00:27:34.000 Yeah, I'm gonna be honest.

00:27:35.000 It makes me very comfortable.

00:27:36.000 It played.

00:27:37.000 The truth is this is what we call a reverse nirvana fallacy, okay?

00:27:40.000 It's an intellect.

00:27:40.000 Let's bring up the logical fallacy alert.

00:27:41.000 A lot of these are used, with a bit of ad hominem thrown in.

00:27:44.000 So let me read to you the reverse nirvana fallacy.

00:27:46.000 It's comparing a realistic solution with an idealized one and discounting or even dismissing the realistic solution as a result of comparing it to a perfect world or impossible standard.

00:27:55.000 So in this case, we also have basically, well, since it hasn't become a huge problem yet, why would you do anything about it?

00:28:02.000 Well, first off, that's not exactly true.

00:28:03.000 It's a much bigger problem than John Oliver lets on. 0.99

00:28:05.000 Second, it hasn't necessarily been a problem yet because the radical progression, the radical anti-science progression, stripping parents of their rights, hadn't been enacted by assholes like you yet. 0.98

00:28:17.000 Doesn't mean that it can't happen, and the solution is not to do nothing about it. 0.96

00:28:21.000 Let me give you some examples here.

00:28:22.000 Connecticut.

00:28:23.000 This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.

00:28:25.000 There were two trans athletes who actually ended up winning the race in Connecticut.

00:28:29.000 Can you remember that?

00:28:29.000 I think it's Overlay A6.

00:28:32.000 There was a 100-meter and a 200-meter.

00:28:33.000 These were records in the event.

00:28:34.000 Overlay A6, they're a token out.

00:28:35.000 Yeah, just give me a minute.

00:28:36.000 Okay.

00:28:38.000 And all these references will be available at ladderwithcrowder.com because I have to kind of go along pretty quickly.

00:28:42.000 So you have that.

00:28:42.000 Yeah, remember the true transgender athletes breaking the finish line?

00:28:46.000 Let's find that picture, guys.

00:28:47.000 The two trans athletes breaking the finish line in Connecticut, and then one girl trailing far behind.

00:28:51.000 Then, of course, you have Hugh Penn.

00:28:53.000 Leah Thomas was nominated as the NCAA Woman of the Year after winning the 550-meter freestyle.

00:28:58.000 This affected other women. 0.99

00:29:00.000 Of course, their scholarships, their ability to get a spot on college rosters, or their ability to qualify for world championships.

00:29:07.000 You have Fallon Fox, who broke an opponent's skull.

00:29:09.000 Orbital Bone lived her life as a man until her 30s, and I believe fathered children.

00:29:16.000 Oh, wow.

00:29:18.000 Then you have cycling.

00:29:19.000 You have Rachel McKinnon set a world record in track cycling.

00:29:21.000 I'm not laughing at anything.

00:29:22.000 I'm just laughing at the situation of breaking someone's... I'm laughing at the absurdity of Fallon Fox who lived as a man until 30-something years old breaking a woman's face.

00:29:29.000 Yes.

00:29:30.000 And this is the one time you care about cycling in the history of the world.

00:29:33.000 Yes.

00:29:34.000 And now, so these were all these examples, and there are other examples internationally,

00:29:38.000 New Zealand, Olympic, weightlifting, there are many, many, many examples.

00:29:43.000 Now it doesn't affect largely white women, so white women don't really care about it, 1.00

00:29:46.000 because many white women don't compete in sports. 1.00

00:29:47.000 You don't see the same opinions, by the way, with most women, minority women.

00:29:50.000 I don't know what happened to listening to them.

00:29:52.000 It's white women exclusively, not you if you're listening, you're perfect, who have largely 1.00

00:29:59.000 spearheaded this under the guise of wanting to be compassionate.

00:30:02.000 It comes from a good place.

00:30:04.000 It's got to stop.

00:30:04.000 So we have these examples that have happened.

00:30:06.000 He's leading by so much.

00:30:08.000 Can we see that?

00:30:09.000 Pull it up.

00:30:09.000 Pull up this picture.

00:30:11.000 That's half a mile down.

00:30:14.000 They didn't even want the ones to be blurry in the photo.

00:30:17.000 They couldn't get one without it.

00:30:19.000 The only way it could be more severe is if, like, you just had a picture of Usain Bolt and, like, the Greek national team.

00:30:27.000 So, these are the examples that have happened.

00:30:28.000 And then, of course, you have a previous piece by John Oliver, The Media.

00:30:32.000 Sounds like former Vice President Joe Biden.

00:30:34.000 It's not a joke.

00:30:35.000 Give me a kid. 0.98

00:30:35.000 I need to replenish. 0.98

00:30:37.000 Right as rain.

00:30:39.000 Got your soul.

00:30:40.000 Yes.

00:30:40.000 Like a podling.

00:30:42.000 There were so many examples, and there was such an aggressive push, that now in the Olympics, by the way, you just have to prove that you've been on hormone blockers for one year, and there isn't even a testosterone cap.

00:30:52.000 Not an official one.

00:30:53.000 It'll be delegated to the sports.

00:30:55.000 So remember, it started with, well, if you're legitimate transsexual, we used to have transvestites and transsexuals.

00:31:00.000 Transvestites were people who dressed like women. 0.86

00:31:01.000 Transsexuals were people who went through the operation. 0.98

00:31:03.000 Now we've added transgenders, where you can compete in the Olympics without a testosterone cap, without ever having actually gone through the transition, and beat the hell out of women. 1.00

00:31:12.000 That's the new policy of the Olympics. 1.00

00:31:15.000 Hit the like button if you think that's bullshit! 0.99

00:31:18.000 By the way, this and the homosexual marriage, the gay marriage bill, everything else, when there's an easy, obvious solution to the problem and you choose to make it as painful as possible and as illogical as possible, you know you're just pushing an agenda. 0.99

00:31:29.000 That's all that's going on here.

00:31:30.000 If you wanted to compete, if men, people who were born men, I'm sorry, women, who transitioned into men wanted to compete, they could do that.

00:31:37.000 Men, more importantly, that transition into women and compete in women's sports, you can make a division for them.

00:31:41.000 Go and compete and be the very best in that category.

00:31:44.000 Why are we trying to make it difficult?

00:31:46.000 How do you feel about performance enhancing drugs in sports?

00:31:49.000 Because the advantage that a man on steroids would have over another man is infinitesimal compared to what the advantage that a male hormonal profile would carry against any woman.

00:32:00.000 It's not even close.

00:32:01.000 The walking human pin cushions from Russia are not even close to what a man enjoys as far as an advantage over female athletes. 0.73

00:32:10.000 You know it.

00:32:11.000 We know it.

00:32:12.000 Let's stop lying as though we don't all know it.

00:32:13.000 Yeah, well, exactly.

00:32:14.000 Russia actually disbanded their entire program of steroids and just transitioned all their male athletes to women who win all the gold medals.

00:32:20.000 Oh, nice.

00:32:21.000 It's easier this way and it's fair.

00:32:23.000 We have Yanko Emelianenko.

00:32:27.000 Oh, that is not correct.

00:32:28.000 I am now Cindy.

00:32:31.000 Alright.

00:32:33.000 Just full beard.

00:32:34.000 Somebody should do this, I swear.

00:32:36.000 A country, an enterprising country, looking for some gold medals.

00:32:39.000 They are, it's called the United States of America.

00:32:40.000 Well, that's true.

00:32:41.000 That's true.

00:32:41.000 They should just do it and be like, alright, we own all records now.

00:32:45.000 I would say I am for performance enhancing drugs in sports, though.

00:32:48.000 It really made baseball a lot more fun.

00:32:50.000 In non-contact sports.

00:32:52.000 How about this?

00:32:53.000 You have a clean male... You have a clean male division, a clean female division, and then you have an all other gender, any performance enhancing drugs, let the games begin. 0.99

00:33:03.000 I love it!

00:33:04.000 Could you imagine golf?

00:33:06.000 Just the rage?

00:33:06.000 They're wearing a golf skirt, they have to blur six inches beneath it.

00:33:12.000 And he lines up for the putt. 0.99

00:33:14.000 And, oh, gets tangled in his cock there. 0.99

00:33:17.000 That's tough when that happens. 1.00

00:33:18.000 She's taking home the trophy. 0.99

00:33:19.000 It's a set of balls. 0.99

00:33:20.000 Yes. 0.95

00:33:20.000 Of course, we know that our athletes are allowed one piece of athletic tape. 0.95

00:33:25.000 Yes.

00:33:25.000 As to not constitute an advantage.

00:33:27.000 And this was used on the left side of his upper thigh.

00:33:29.000 Not quite enough.

00:33:30.000 Should have gone with the right side.

00:33:31.000 Not a bit of sweat has held to the second hole.

00:33:35.000 And here's how we know we're dealing with narcissists in the gaslighting, okay?

00:33:38.000 What they try and do is accuse you of doing exactly what they are doing.

00:33:40.000 And I do mean this as a progressive.

00:33:41.000 It's a movement of narcissism.

00:33:45.000 It's all about what makes you feel good.

00:33:46.000 And then that's misconstrued as happiness.

00:33:48.000 And you'll see them do that later.

00:33:49.000 They want to accuse you of doing what it is that they're doing.

00:33:51.000 So right here, John Oliver, here's another claim.

00:33:53.000 He takes issue with Republicans renaming things to make them sound like exactly what they are.

00:34:00.000 Branding the discussion of trans issues under the umbrella of radical gender theory.

00:34:05.000 And he tweeted out that conservatives should start using the phrase trans-stripper in lieu of drag queen.

00:34:10.000 It has a more lurid set of connotations and shifts the debate to sexualization.

00:34:15.000 And sure, anything can have a more lurid and sexual set of connotations if you just rename it.

00:34:21.000 Okay, so a couple things.

00:34:22.000 Here's the truth.

00:34:23.000 Again, they're gaslighting you by changing language.

00:34:24.000 This is what they do.

00:34:25.000 They say, you want to change language!

00:34:27.000 Like mostly peaceful protests.

00:34:30.000 Like, no evidence of widespread things that we can't discuss, but you said was the greatest issue facing our national security pre-2016 election?

00:34:38.000 You changed the language, and by the way, at this case, I don't have a problem with Drag Queen because it's hyper-sexualized anyway, but what if they are transgender and a stripper? 1.00

00:34:45.000 It's more descriptive.

00:34:46.000 Well, I think they're trying to hide behind Drag Queen and say, you know, this is somebody in a dress who's just dressed as a woman, right, who happens to be born a male, right? 0.74

00:34:54.000 That's not what's happening.

00:34:54.000 When we saw all of these Drag Queen stuff, it was people with lingerie type stuff on, it was people with really short skirts, it was people with their butt hanging out, like we saw the one in church where they were doing this in church and the girl comes walking down the aisle, I use that term loosely, and you can see, you wouldn't have a normal Born this way woman dressed like that in church and feel like the seat wasn't getting hot.

00:35:18.000 And you're right, they could be a stripper. 1.00

00:35:18.000 Right. 1.00

00:35:20.000 They're probably not literally a queen.

00:35:23.000 Right.

00:35:23.000 That's a good example.

00:35:25.000 Although actually you can technically buy, I think you can buy a small piece of Land in Scotland.

00:35:30.000 And you're a lord.

00:35:31.000 Is that true?

00:35:31.000 Really?

00:35:32.000 I know it because I'm a lord.

00:35:33.000 Oh! 0.60

00:35:34.000 Can you show me where?

00:35:35.000 I got it as a gift.

00:35:37.000 I own one square foot of land in Scotland.

00:35:41.000 So I am a lord! 0.95

00:35:42.000 But I don't believe that those drag trans strippers are queens. 1.00

00:35:45.000 Now that's one thing I will say.

00:35:46.000 I cannot fully substantiate it.

00:35:48.000 Not on your land?

00:35:50.000 Well certainly not.

00:35:50.000 No.

00:35:51.000 They're not allowed.

00:35:51.000 No.

00:35:52.000 I believe in property rights.

00:35:53.000 So! 0.81

00:35:56.000 Let's move on to another claim.

00:35:57.000 There's so much to get to here today.

00:35:59.000 And by the way, share if you can.

00:36:01.000 That's what helps with these algorithms on YouTube, and they do not want you to see this.

00:36:05.000 The John Oliver video will be thrust into every single person's timeline, whether you want it or not.

00:36:08.000 And of course, it's not even age-restricted because that's the goal.

00:36:11.000 So another claim that he makes is, and what they try and do is take one example and say, this is your entire argument.

00:36:19.000 So John Oliver goes on to cite one, and from what I understand, albeit flawed study, about the role of peer pressure increasing the rates of, you know, sort of childhood transitioning, but tries to make it seem as though that's the only study, or the only empirical evidence that we have, even though it's not true, but this is how he presents it.

00:36:36.000 The rise in kids identifying as trans is due to social contagion, that it's just a mass delusion, a trendy fad that is rapidly spreading among young people. 0.80

00:36:45.000 Shreyas sometimes dresses her argument up by using the term rapid-onset gender dysphoria, which is total horseshit.

00:36:53.000 It comes from a study published by a researcher in 2018, hypothesizing that some kids identify as trans due to peer pressure.

00:37:00.000 But it's worth you knowing, that study was based on a survey of parents, not actual trans kids, and it targeted parents from organizations dedicated to opposing trans ideology, which is instantly disqualifying! 0.94

00:37:13.000 Okay, so before I move on to the truth of addressing that, again, they're accusing you of what they do, saying, which is total bullshit, the description of rapid-onset gender dysphoria. 0.92

00:37:22.000 How could you change? 0.95

00:37:23.000 How could you add to gender dysphoria?

00:37:24.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:37:25.000 What happened from the DSM-IV to the DSM-V?

00:37:27.000 Gender dysphoria was classified as a disorder in which someone believes that they are born to the wrong sex, wrong gender.

00:37:33.000 Then they changed it because of political pressure to say gender dysphoria is actually a description of the symptoms of somebody who was born the wrong gender.

00:37:43.000 So we just changed the definition of gender dysphoria, medically speaking, with no new empirical data to justify it.

00:37:50.000 And this is a problem with many people who work in the community of psychology and psychiatry, not to mention people who actually work in endocrinology.

00:37:57.000 But, of course, trust the science.

00:37:59.000 By that, I mean Fauci throwing out the opening pitch.

00:38:01.000 Here's the truth.

00:38:03.000 It's not just one study.

00:38:05.000 that exists as far as this new phenomenon of children transitioning at record rates,

00:38:11.000 you've seen a dramatic increase in surgery. The sex reassignment market in the United States right

00:38:15.000 now is valued at $1.9 billion. In the United States alone, it's expected to grow about 11.23%

00:38:22.000 From 2019 to 2020, a 15% increase in chest surgeries for trans males.

00:38:26.000 By the way, that outpaces almost, and I say almost just because I'm not entirely sure, I haven't had time this morning, I'm willing to bet all other elective cosmetic surgeries.

00:38:37.000 Yeah.

00:38:38.000 I know we don't love this guy all the time, but sometimes he makes a point that we actually go, oh, that's lucid.

00:38:44.000 Thank you.

00:38:44.000 Bill Maher.

00:38:45.000 No, not you, Dave.

00:38:46.000 Bill Maher.

00:38:47.000 You're actually funny.

00:38:48.000 Bill Maher is not at all, not even remotely.

00:38:50.000 And he even came out back in May when I think the New York Times released some study information on this that says transgender stuff is just blowing up, especially amongst the youth.

00:38:59.000 and not so much among older people. He said, yeah, I understand that maybe people are a little bit

00:39:04.000 more free to talk about it and there's some freedom there that's contributing to that number. He goes,

00:39:08.000 but why is it so much so in California versus Ohio? Like it's this trendy fad.

00:39:14.000 Yeah, it's a dramatic difference in the locale.

00:39:16.000 Geography matters a whole lot. I know we'll talk about that in a second,

00:39:18.000 but when Bill Maher is at the point where he's like, hold on guys.

00:39:22.000 Yeah.

00:39:22.000 What are we doing here?

00:39:23.000 Like, you really need to stop and take a look at your argument, because John Oliver, all he did was say, it's only because of freedom.

00:39:29.000 It's only because they can now do this stuff and not be... And the only example pointing out this might be a problem is this one flawed study.

00:39:35.000 No, it's not only study after study after study after study, which will get into mental

00:39:38.000 health issues, will get into the likelihood of, not only likelihood, the verifiable, not

00:39:42.000 only mental health, but physical health, health as it relates to cancer issues.

00:39:46.000 These are all documented, not to mention the statistics on children who transition if there

00:39:50.000 is no intervention versus if there is.

00:39:53.000 All of that is documented.

00:39:54.000 We're also talking about the economic data that we have in relation to surgeries being

00:39:59.000 We're talking about the data that we have, whether it's the Census Bureau or local state sort of polling institutions, how different it is regarding geography, regarding the politics of the parents.

00:40:09.000 Now, you can say that, ha, instead of chicken or the egg, correlation doesn't equal causation, and maybe that's because those kids are more free because they were actually transphobic.

00:40:16.000 Sure, sure, we can have that nature and nurture conversation, but only if you acknowledge that there's a dramatic difference.

00:40:22.000 He doesn't want to.

00:40:23.000 Because he doesn't want you to do the digging.

00:40:24.000 Please dig.

00:40:25.000 Through the references that I provide.

00:40:26.000 Please go watch this whole video.

00:40:28.000 I beg you.

00:40:29.000 Please do the research.

00:40:31.000 All of it that you can.

00:40:32.000 This is about the soul of the country.

00:40:36.000 It's about parents having the right to make medical decisions for their children, which by the way is one of the bedrocks.

00:40:42.000 It is the bedrock of parental rights.

00:40:44.000 That's one of the biggest issues that happens in divorce court is who gets to make medical decisions. 1.00

00:40:49.000 Kids are never left to make their own medical decisions, let alone one this severe.

00:40:49.000 It's parents.

00:40:54.000 Let's go on to another claim.

00:40:56.000 I don't, I don't think cosmetic medical decisions in a lot of ways, which I know that they argue this wouldn't be, but I mean, you're looking at something where it's not like you were saying how it's, you know, because of freedom, it's not legalized weed.

00:41:07.000 It's permanent mutilation in a lot of cases, because if you change your mind on it, that's what it is to you.

00:41:13.000 It's your permanent destruction of your body.

00:41:15.000 He goes on to say, well that's not really the case, it's mostly reversible, except sometimes there is serenity but it's a very small chance and children have the right to make that decision.

00:41:23.000 Yes, because they make informed decisions.

00:41:25.000 Because when you're 7 years old, you really understand the full scope of a barren womb when you're 28. 0.98

00:41:32.000 You haven't even had a period.

00:41:34.000 Right. 1.00

00:41:36.000 Or understood an erection, and you're gonna tell me how- that's disgusting. 0.99

00:41:39.000 I understood everything that I needed to. 0.98

00:41:41.000 You had that tutor.

00:41:45.000 It was the She-Hulk cards. 0.87

00:41:47.000 Fork you, man.

00:41:49.000 Nuts, it's just- it's so odd. 0.96

00:41:51.000 I mean, even as a teenager, there's a reason why you can't drink until you're 21 because you're irresponsible.

00:41:56.000 You can't rent a car until you're 25 because all the synapses haven't finished yet.

00:42:00.000 Like, why can't I get a... What, you're saying I can't get a car until I'm 25?

00:42:04.000 Yeah, because the insurance rates are like nine times higher.

00:42:06.000 Oh, is that because I used to be a she?

00:42:09.000 Okay, you know what?

00:42:10.000 You're part of the Hertz Gold program.

00:42:12.000 Just get out of here. 0.96

00:42:12.000 Yeah, we might as well just start letting big wheels on the freeway. 0.96

00:42:16.000 What's the difference?

00:42:17.000 I'm gonna take my business down to Enterprise!

00:42:22.000 So here's another claim that he makes, uh, that, uh, you know, people merely exploring their gender identity as though that's all it is.

00:42:31.000 Why is that a bad thing, you hateful bigot?

00:42:33.000 And to the extent that some young people are just exploring their gender identity, how exactly is that a bad thing? 0.99

00:42:40.000 Who the f*** are they hurting?

00:42:42.000 Themselves? 0.98

00:42:43.000 Yep.

00:42:44.000 So let's go through this, uh, point by point, statistically, here's the truth.

00:42:47.000 Attempted suicide rate for transgender individuals is, uh, somewhere around 40%.

00:42:53.000 Okay, and by the way, doesn't get much better pre or post-op.

00:42:56.000 It's always between about 40 to 42% based on the data that we have.

00:42:59.000 So the idea that this transition would help or fix it, well, the data doesn't show us that.

00:43:05.000 Who are they hurting?

00:43:06.000 Well, there's an answer for you.

00:43:08.000 It's good if you see a therapist and he just flips a coin.

00:43:11.000 Yes, exactly.

00:43:12.000 I shouldn't have gone to Therapist Two-Face.

00:43:15.000 Well, it looks like you're going to be prepay.

00:43:17.000 Yes.

00:43:19.000 Yeah.

00:43:22.000 Just so you know, this is not covered by insurance.

00:43:24.000 Yeah, we're not billing you.

00:43:26.000 Should I come every Tuesday?

00:43:27.000 Oh, I doubt it.

00:43:29.000 Let's wait until Monday and just schedule for the next day.

00:43:32.000 So, okay, so we have this dramatically high attempted suicide rate.

00:43:36.000 Now, you might say, well, hold on a second, pre and post-op, the reason it's the same is because of how mistreated they are.

00:43:41.000 For that to hold water, and there might be something there, of course, that transgender people feel ostracized, I'm not saying that they don't, you would have to compare it against the control.

00:43:50.000 Are there other groups that are minorities that have been marginalized?

00:43:53.000 And have their suicide rates been comparable?

00:43:56.000 Well, gays, it's 7 to 20%. 1.00

00:44:00.000 Blacks during slavery, it's about 7.2% according to surgeon logs. 0.54

00:44:05.000 Jews in concentration camps?

00:44:06.000 About 25%.

00:44:08.000 So, you have to ask yourself, is a suicide rate pre- and post-op likely due to societal ostracization?

00:44:16.000 Or, hold on a second, maybe not because I don't believe that current transgender students in California have it worse than Jews and Auschwitz or American slaves.

00:44:26.000 We have control after control after control of people who experience the worst conditions beyond not being able to leave a little curly three-ring circus at the Target bathroom.

00:44:37.000 Wow.

00:44:37.000 That was a curly Q?

00:44:38.000 We were just talking about that.

00:44:39.000 Yeah, we were.

00:44:40.000 Above water?

00:44:40.000 Mm-hmm.

00:44:41.000 That was a putting T. Above sea level.

00:44:45.000 You don't use the T to putt, but I understand.

00:44:47.000 I appreciate the efforts.

00:44:50.000 Uh, and yeah, post-op transgenders still also, to give you scope, 19 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.

00:44:57.000 Post-op transgenders, 19 times more likely, all the references.

00:45:00.000 Post-op.

00:45:01.000 Got everything you want, 19 times more likely.

00:45:02.000 Got everything you want, you look like a woman, you have all the same rights, you can compete wherever you want to compete, you're on puberty blockers, you've gotten the estrogen that you want, you've got the whatever hormones that you want, with your woman-to-man testosterone, and the suicide rate is still a multiple of Jews in concentration camps, American slaves, And gays, lesbians, not to mention of course every other racial minority.

00:45:23.000 It's not even close.

00:45:24.000 I can't tell you the one other demographic where the attempted suicide rate is so high.

00:45:28.000 Because the exact comparison might get us removed from YouTube.

00:45:32.000 It will.

00:45:33.000 There's only one other demographic that has this same rate of attempted suicide.

00:45:38.000 We'll reveal it in Mug Club, but do some research.

00:45:40.000 It won't be hard to find.

00:45:41.000 Well, it would seem, too, that the attempted suicide rate is up, and this is speculation, just judging by, you know, people in my own family, I guess, but amongst teenagers just in general, and I would assume that it has to do with a lot of woke think.

00:45:55.000 Probably, when you're a perpetual victim and you believe that everything is outside of your control.

00:45:58.000 That makes it hopeless.

00:45:58.000 Exactly.

00:45:59.000 Or if you're the person who they think is the victimizer.

00:46:03.000 Right.

00:46:04.000 Either way it goes, it's bad.

00:46:05.000 Because then you still have bullying either way.

00:46:05.000 Yeah.

00:46:08.000 Yeah.

00:46:09.000 One or the other.

00:46:09.000 That's why I have an issue where you say, okay, all these people in California that are transgender kids are having a tough time in school.

00:46:17.000 How, when that's what it's being catered to, is exactly who you are.

00:46:24.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:46:24.000 No one's saying that there isn't discrimination that occurs at some level, on an individual level.

00:46:29.000 I'd say as far as systemic, you can give me an example if you want to say systemic oppression.

00:46:33.000 But again, I think that's a good point.

00:46:36.000 When you remove the tools of people to deal with this, Namely, that there's some kind of autonomy.

00:46:44.000 That you have some control.

00:46:45.000 Some say, in your own destiny, you create hopelessness.

00:46:48.000 That's why, even though the conditions, the treatment of American slaves, African American slaves, absolutely horrible, abhorrent, well, not even close to the suicide rate of people.

00:46:57.000 Why?

00:46:57.000 There were tools.

00:46:58.000 There was hope.

00:46:59.000 They actually saw some kind of progress that could take place.

00:47:02.000 It took a while.

00:47:03.000 We did that for the rest of the world.

00:47:04.000 You're welcome.

00:47:05.000 Same thing with Jews and the Holocaust. 0.83

00:47:07.000 They felt as though they had more hope.

00:47:07.000 Think about it.

00:47:09.000 than transgender youth today in California, where the legislation that they want has already been passed.

00:47:14.000 That tells you that it's not just society, it's that these people, they have been victimized by you telling them that they are perpetually victimized.

00:47:21.000 You are actually the predator.

00:47:24.000 Which brings us to another truth, per the FDA, by the way.

00:47:28.000 Purity blockers can cause brain swelling, vision loss, other kinds of psychiatric issues.

00:47:33.000 Here's something else that nobody wants to talk about.

00:47:35.000 They say, oh, the science is out.

00:47:37.000 On hormone replacement therapy.

00:47:39.000 Well, not exactly.

00:47:40.000 Here's another truth.

00:47:41.000 Excess estrogen in the body is, of course, believed to be cancerous.

00:47:45.000 Now, I cannot say definitively, 100%, just to be clear on YouTube, that injecting a boy with estrogen or altering his hormone levels might actually prove to be cancergenic, because we haven't done those studies yet because we've never had to.

00:47:57.000 But men with high levels of estrogen have had a multiple Increase in their odds of breast cancer than men who have normal levels.

00:48:05.000 Also, anyone out there?

00:48:06.000 Women? 1.00

00:48:07.000 Women! 1.00

00:48:07.000 Right now, have you had breast cancer? 1.00

00:48:11.000 I've had many people who are survivors of breast cancer in my family.

00:48:13.000 It runs in my family.

00:48:15.000 What's the first thing they do?

00:48:17.000 What's the first thing they do if you have breast cancer? 1.00

00:48:19.000 Or one of?

00:48:20.000 Usually the protocol immediately evolves in what they call an AI.

00:48:23.000 No, not talking about Skynet.

00:48:25.000 Aromatase inhibitors.

00:48:27.000 Let's try and slow the conversion to estrogen.

00:48:29.000 Because even with women, we know that excess estrogen can increase the rate of metastasization. 0.98

00:48:35.000 So we, even with women, say the first line of defense is let's try and reduce excess estrogen in the body. 0.94

00:48:41.000 The science isn't on that.

00:48:42.000 That's what they do.

00:48:42.000 That's a scientific protocol.

00:48:44.000 Excess estrogen levels.

00:48:44.000 Same thing with men.

00:48:45.000 Go and get your hormone levels checked. 0.91

00:48:47.000 When injected directly into the thigh of a seven-year-old, however, we don't have the long-term studies.

00:48:53.000 Therefore, let's make it the Wild West.

00:48:56.000 Shouldn't the, we don't have the long-term studies be, we need to wait until we have the long-term studies?

00:49:00.000 How many times are we going to do this, injecting things into people without long-term studies and know I'm not talking about something that could get us banned?

00:49:06.000 Right, well you know why they don't want to?

00:49:08.000 Because it would be a complete violation of medical ethics to even try and conduct a long-term study.

00:49:13.000 Because of, based on what we already know, you could not find a clinic or a doctor in clear conscience to say, yeah, let's see what happens with these kids we inject with estrogen versus the control group.

00:49:21.000 It would be a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.

00:49:25.000 So instead, let's just make you, society, the experiment.

00:49:28.000 It's not like we've done that any other time.

00:49:29.000 By the way, Dave and I, uh, on tour here.

00:49:32.000 We have, uh, some dates left, uh, at the end of this year.

00:49:34.000 There's still some shows.

00:49:35.000 Nashville, November 12th.

00:49:36.000 We added a second show at the Ryman Auditorium, the original Grand Ole Opry, 930.

00:49:40.000 There's that second show, some tickets there.

00:49:41.000 And then Baltimore, December 3rd, loudearthcrowder.com slash tour.

00:49:44.000 I think those are the only shows with tickets left.

00:49:46.000 Yes, jerseys sold out, and yeah, we've got the Lyric in Baltimore.

00:49:49.000 That's as close as they'd let you to D.C.

00:49:51.000 Yes.

00:49:52.000 I apologize.

00:49:53.000 The picture's up on walls everywhere there, you can't get in.

00:49:55.000 If you want to see us in that general mid-Atlantic area, you have to live out your wire fantasies.

00:50:00.000 Yes.

00:50:02.000 All right, let's go on to the next claim.

00:50:04.000 Sir, there's so much here, but all the references are available.

00:50:07.000 I think, again, I think this is more important than taxes.

00:50:12.000 They're trying to, well, let's just show his next claim.

00:50:16.000 Notably, young people are showing up in public forums where adults are fear-mongering about letting trans kids into youth sports and bathrooms and trying to talk some sense into them.

00:50:26.000 I will not let a board full of people who barely represent me tell me who I am and what I can do.

00:50:32.000 Grow up and fix your behavior.

00:50:34.000 I'm not worried about trans people harassing me, I'm worried about if I'm gonna fail Spanish in my next class.

00:50:40.000 I have used these bathrooms repeatedly alongside trans people and have never once felt threatened.

00:50:46.000 Well, look at you.

00:50:47.000 The adults in those rooms just got humiliated by teenagers, as we all know, the most brutal form of humiliation that there is.

00:50:55.000 Wow, he's walking human clickbait.

00:50:57.000 Got humiliated, absolutely smashed by this girl who sh- this assistant manager at Autopic. 1.00

00:51:05.000 Is he watching a different clip than we were?

00:51:07.000 Nobody owned anybody in that clip.

00:51:09.000 They just said, no, it's not a problem.

00:51:10.000 And I'm like, okay, thanks.

00:51:12.000 You're fear mongering.

00:51:13.000 Here are some anecdotal examples of largely white women who don't care, who don't compete in sports, who don't really have a dog in this fight. 1.00

00:51:20.000 Oh, you just got owned. 0.93

00:51:22.000 Here's the truth.

00:51:23.000 If we're going to go to the anecdotal, there are far more examples of it being a problem than a few people who speak at a podium there.

00:51:31.000 Guy literally dressed as a girl, sexually assaulted a girl in Loudoun County.

00:51:34.000 Remember that?

00:51:35.000 Being a girl is not all in my head.

00:51:36.000 because he was speaking out against it because the school board basically covered it up in Brevard

00:51:40.000 County in Florida a girl accused a trans female of groping her in the bathroom and by the way

00:51:46.000 plenty of other girls I think we have a clip have expressed issues and fears and outrage at 1.00

00:51:53.000 trans bathroom policies what happened to leave all women being a girl is not all in my head

00:51:58.000 boys who identify as girls are no different from boys who identify as boys except in their feelings

00:52:03.000 about themselves but boys the feelings are not why we have separate bathrooms

00:52:08.000 We have separate bathrooms because of what our bodies do in them. 0.56

00:52:12.000 Bodies matter. 0.54

00:52:14.000 Calling girls bigots because they don't want to use the toilet in a stall next to a boy or get undressed next to a boy is cruel and wrong.

00:52:22.000 It is embarrassing enough for a girl to change a pad knowing all the other girls can hear the crinkle of the packaging. 0.90

00:52:28.000 But telling her that she must be okay doing it in the presence of boys because their preferred pronouns are she, her?

00:52:33.000 How evil can you be?

00:52:35.000 Notice even the difference in the way that the children who lean right and the children who lean left argue.

00:52:41.000 She doesn't just appeal to emotion, she says biologically they are the same.

00:52:45.000 That is correct.

00:52:47.000 Biologically they are the same regardless of how they identify.

00:52:50.000 It is not something that just exists in your head, it is something that takes place in the body.

00:52:53.000 That is scientifically, that is factually correct.

00:52:55.000 The girls he presented said, who are you to tell me what I think?

00:52:59.000 We're not telling you what you think.

00:53:00.000 We're telling you that you're a young girl who can't think straight and we're going to think for you as we do in all other scenarios with young girls and boys. 0.98

00:53:06.000 Yeah, and by the way, I don't care if you're comfortable with it.

00:53:09.000 I really don't.

00:53:10.000 Like this one girl you bring up says, well I've used it next to trans dudes. 0.54

00:53:13.000 You're comfortable with it.

00:53:13.000 Fine!

00:53:15.000 Now let's line up all the girls who are not comfortable with it just like this one. 1.00

00:53:18.000 They don't forfeit their rights because you have an uneducated opinion.

00:53:22.000 I'm fine with blacks not being able to vote, said that reporter to that head coach.

00:53:27.000 So why do you have a problem with it?

00:53:30.000 Doesn't matter.

00:53:32.000 Well, the girl makes a very well-educated, honest point, and the other ones just showed up like Cartman, like, I'll do what I want.

00:53:39.000 I'm more concerned if I'm going to pass Spanish.

00:53:42.000 As you should.

00:53:43.000 Yeah, why?

00:53:45.000 Because I've been cheating.

00:53:46.000 I've been cheating on Zoom all year and then failed the ACTs.

00:53:49.000 Record lows.

00:53:50.000 We'll get into a second.

00:53:51.000 By the way, Spanish goal is to be trafficked. 0.98

00:53:54.000 Masculine and feminine words there.

00:53:57.000 And yeah, they still have it in Spanish.

00:53:58.000 Are you going to still take it?

00:53:59.000 I don't know if you should because it's just binary.

00:54:01.000 Yeah.

00:54:02.000 There's no language.

00:54:03.000 It's a language of love and sexuality, which is also male-female.

00:54:07.000 Only male-female. 0.80

00:54:08.000 Gendered nouns from all the romance languages.

00:54:11.000 Boy, I sure hope you don't end up taking Latin.

00:54:13.000 That's a dead language.

00:54:13.000 Don't worry.

00:54:15.000 It's a theme.

00:54:17.000 Here's another claim from John Oliver.

00:54:19.000 And this is really important because he makes the claim right before refuting himself.

00:54:23.000 Must be nice to live in a world where you don't get called to the mat on anything.

00:54:27.000 Where he tells you, so I'll just roll this and roll the clip right after, that children, don't worry, children are not eligible for any kind of medical intervention.

00:54:38.000 But to hear some tell it, as soon as a child declares themselves trans, there is an immediate, irreversible surgical decision undertaken.

00:54:47.000 And there just isn't!

00:54:48.000 So let's break down exactly what gender-affirming care consists of.

00:54:52.000 To be very clear, prepubescent children are not eligible for medical interventions.

00:54:58.000 And then immediately goes, immediately, into talking about medical intervention and advocating for it on a legislative level.

00:55:06.000 This is what happens right after that clip.

00:55:08.000 At the onset of puberty, an adolescent and their family might consider puberty blockers, hormones that delay puberty.

00:55:15.000 And importantly, if that treatment is suspended, then puberty will resume, meaning that this is reversible.

00:55:21.000 Think of it like a pause button, the thing you can't do easily on the HBO Max app.

00:55:26.000 Now, the next potential medical intervention is usually hormone therapy, which boosts levels of testosterone or estrogen.

00:55:33.000 Opponents of gender affirming care make a lot of alarmist claims about hormone therapy, from saying that it's experimental, which it is not, to arguing that it sterilizes people.

00:55:42.000 And look, for some, in specific situations, there can be risks to fertility, but for others, the effect is anticipated to be reversible, if the medication is discontinued.

00:55:53.000 Okay, couple of things.

00:55:55.000 He acknowledges that there doesn't give you the actual severity of it.

00:56:00.000 He says, experimental, which it's not.

00:56:02.000 Hold on a second.

00:56:02.000 Birth control isn't considered experimental.

00:56:04.000 Is it for nine-year-olds? 1.00

00:56:08.000 That's the shit he's pulling here! 1.00

00:56:10.000 Of course! 1.00

00:56:11.000 Testosterone for people who are older.

00:56:13.000 And I've talked about this.

00:56:15.000 I advocate for it if you're older.

00:56:16.000 Get your hormones checked.

00:56:17.000 If you're in your 50s, your 60s, and you're not feeling well, yes, that is something which, by the way, unfortunately, the medical community in many cases does consider experimental.

00:56:26.000 Because we think it may have some negative effects.

00:56:29.000 When you ask them about estrogen injected directly into a child, however... Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

00:56:32.000 It's not experimental.

00:56:33.000 Yes, it is.

00:56:34.000 There are plenty of things that are not experimental for adults that would be experimental with children.

00:56:38.000 For the same reason they can't smoke!

00:56:41.000 For the same reason they can't consent to sex with an adult!

00:56:46.000 So let's also get into the truth here.

00:56:49.000 Many countries, many countries have warned us about puberty blockers.

00:56:53.000 Yeah.

00:56:53.000 Which I don't even know that I need to get into this because he acknowledges that it can cause sterility.

00:56:57.000 He says, but maybe.

00:56:59.000 But in many cases, this can be mitigated.

00:57:02.000 If it's 1%, it's enough to say nope.

00:57:05.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 By the way, he said it's anticipated That this will be mitigated if you stop taking the medication.

00:57:11.000 I'm like, John, you're quoting something from 2018, from October 1st.

00:57:15.000 Do we not have any data between October 1st, 2018 and what is today, October 17th, 2020?

00:57:21.000 That's over four years, John.

00:57:24.000 That's a good question.

00:57:24.000 We have a lot.

00:57:25.000 We have from Sweden, we have from the UK, and then New Zealand.

00:57:27.000 Sometimes it's the information that they don't present to you.

00:57:28.000 They quietly remove the description of safe and reversible from the Ministry of Health website.

00:57:32.000 Gone now!

00:57:33.000 Yeah, I can't imagine that there's any real proof that your puberty would just start right back up as normal.

00:57:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:39.000 There couldn't be, like, years of testing of this to actually know that.

00:57:42.000 I just can't imagine, like, even if so, could you prove that it was the exact thing that it was supposed to be?

00:57:48.000 I don't think that's possible, right?

00:57:49.000 No, exactly.

00:57:49.000 In the absence of what would be a natural process, you couldn't.

00:57:52.000 You can't necessarily know what outcomes are part of your manipulation.

00:57:55.000 Right.

00:57:55.000 There's no way.

00:57:56.000 Yes.

00:57:57.000 Jeff Goldblum knew this.

00:57:58.000 Yeah, he told me.

00:58:01.000 There it is.

00:58:01.000 Now, also, you should note, this is the problem with the propaganda that comes from the left, is you have the John Olivers there.

00:58:08.000 They spout this nonsense.

00:58:10.000 And then I did, and you can go to lottowithcreditor.com.

00:58:13.000 One of the advantages is everything that's been banned from YouTube, to the tune of hundreds of millions of views, is available there.

00:58:19.000 And I did a segment where I went undercover at a Vermont town hall where they were showing us how to get our young children on puberty blockers and I believe how to use Medicaid for it.

00:58:28.000 Yeah.

00:58:30.000 When we released that video on YouTube and we actually refuted the idea that they're completely reversible without any health ramifications, which I cannot address here because of course that got us into trouble, they removed it.

00:58:41.000 They removed it.

00:58:41.000 So that's no longer available.

00:58:42.000 This is at a public town hall, mind you.

00:58:45.000 They were telling you how to get your children on Puberty.

00:58:48.000 On hidden camera.

00:58:48.000 You can go watch it on Mug Club.

00:58:50.000 Just can't see it on YouTube.

00:58:52.000 So the facts are not allowed.

00:58:53.000 The science is not allowed.

00:58:55.000 John Oliver's opinions and the anecdotal is allowed.

00:58:58.000 That changes perceptions.

00:59:00.000 That changes culture.

00:59:01.000 That changes policy.

00:59:03.000 And it's a deadly outcome.

00:59:06.000 Yeah.

00:59:06.000 All right.

00:59:07.000 Let's go on to another claim from him. 0.64

00:59:10.000 Oh, this is another thing where it's just, again, an appeal to emotional fallacy, where he says, you know, no kids are just casually dropping in to get surgery, you bigot.

00:59:19.000 Some teens may be eligible, for instance, for top surgery or chest masculinization.

00:59:24.000 I thought none of them were?

00:59:25.000 Medical intervention?

00:59:25.000 Not only is that pretty rare, it, like all of this, would only happen after a team of medical professionals discussed all of its risks and benefits with their patient and their patient's parent or guardian, all of whom would have to sign off.

00:59:38.000 No kid is casually dropping into an operating room because they just decided to get their uterus removed with impulsive recklessness normally associated with getting bangs.

00:59:48.000 Yeah, a board of medical professionals.

00:59:50.000 Like this? 1.00

00:59:50.000 That's a huge bitch! 1.00

00:59:55.000 You think that person's going to be unbiased? 1.00

00:59:57.000 Who has openly said that they want...

01:00:00.000 To be more aggressive in interventional therapies.

01:00:03.000 That's the first female five-star general you're talking about. 1.00

01:00:05.000 Yes.

01:00:06.000 They didn't even say woman.

01:00:07.000 They said female.

01:00:08.000 Four-star?

01:00:08.000 Yeah.

01:00:08.000 Which is a biological term.

01:00:10.000 But remember, you were a bigot if you said, hold on a second, actually, I think you're the one changing gender and sex. 0.90

01:00:16.000 We used to use them interchangeably.

01:00:17.000 Oh, you don't know the difference between sex and gender? 0.98

01:00:20.000 Well, apparently the former vice president, Kamala Harris, and the entire DNC and Rachel Levine doesn't as well because they refer to Rachel Levine as the first female Not woman. 0.93

01:00:31.000 You bigot.

01:00:32.000 Why would you try and change words?

01:00:35.000 Alright.

01:00:35.000 I'm a little pissed off at Knowles for the way that he categorized this, and this is what led to John Oliver's jumping off point, saying, oh you can just walk in, let's get this woman right into surgery, and I'm like, he kind of made it easy for him, Michael.

01:00:44.000 I know the point you were trying to make, but you didn't make it in a way that made a whole lot of sense. What really is going on

01:00:51.000 here is he's saying, you guys will get together and you will come up with this.

01:00:55.000 Okay, so we just talked about the medical professionals being pressured by their own agencies

01:00:58.000 to make sure that they offer gender affirming care. Otherwise, there could be some ramifications

01:01:03.000 down the line. They didn't say that, but eventually that's what happens, right? Parents,

01:01:07.000 they're getting together with parents and doctors to make decisions.

01:01:10.000 Okay, you mean the same parents that you're saying if you don't do gender-affirming care that you could possibly lose your children?

01:01:17.000 That is happening in places around the country right now.

01:01:19.000 People are talking about that as being bigoted and hateful.

01:01:22.000 Yeah.

01:01:23.000 And reason enough for the state to come into your home and start to do an investigation of why you won't let your 14-year-old transition?

01:01:29.000 How about Johns Hopkins being suspended on social media because they said that they wouldn't be performing this care?

01:01:34.000 Yeah, or let's not even get into suspensions.

01:01:36.000 Just the Twitter, Facebook, YouTube mob going after what was a respected medical institution yesterday. 0.99

01:01:42.000 Now they're just a bunch of quacks today believing that penises are a thing. 1.00

01:01:46.000 Yeah, you've got two groups of people that are being bludgeoned into going along with this and that's the triumvirate. 0.94

01:01:52.000 The person who's making this decision and these two other groups that can't speak out against it For fear of being ostracized from their job or losing their kids, those are the people, John, that you're saying will get together and make an informed, rational decision?

01:02:04.000 Right.

01:02:04.000 And by the way, it's also astronomical because here's a truth!

01:02:08.000 From 2019 to 2021, these are statistics from children ages 13 to 17 from Reuters, there were 56 genital surgeries, 776 mastectomies.

01:02:15.000 It's pretty damn significant.

01:02:17.000 And then I don't know if this is another claim from, yeah, I think John Oliver, right, where he says that the state shouldn't be intervening. 0.95

01:02:23.000 And this is where it comes to, why do you want to kill children? 0.94

01:02:26.000 All of us here, we want to kill children. 0.91

01:02:27.000 That's the only reason we could present the arguments or the thought processes that we do. 0.98

01:02:34.000 We don't care about children. 0.97

01:02:35.000 We want to kill them by saying, ah, maybe don't put children under the age of really children, period, on puberty blockers. 1.00

01:02:43.000 Perform sex reassignment surgery. 1.00

01:02:44.000 Unnecessary vanity surgery that a kid doesn't really want.

01:02:47.000 Right.

01:02:49.000 I mean, you want to affirm that. 0.79

01:02:51.000 You meant to say, I'm a child murderer.

01:02:53.000 Yeah.

01:02:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:02:55.000 What did I say?

01:02:56.000 One does.

01:02:58.000 Boy, that was wordy.

01:02:59.000 I know.

01:03:00.000 We're all child murderers because we believe that you shouldn't mutilate them.

01:03:06.000 And I do mean mutilate.

01:03:08.000 Here's the difference.

01:03:08.000 It's only considered mutilation if the child regrets it, and we silence the people who regret it, which is a growing contingency.

01:03:14.000 Otherwise, it's reassignment surgery.

01:03:16.000 So here's another claim that he makes.

01:03:17.000 States shouldn't intervene because transitioning children saves lives.

01:03:22.000 And the very notion that the state would suddenly interfere in any of this is understandably infuriating for both trans kids and their parents. 0.99

01:03:29.000 Yes, you hate state interference, you socialist prick. 0.97

01:03:32.000 Where legislators were banning, among other things, hormone therapy for young people. 0.73

01:03:36.000 Describe what it did for her son, who suffered from severe depression before transitioning.

01:03:41.000 I'd say like a month to two months in, I started seeing that kid come back.

01:03:45.000 Come out of his shell, talk to us more, laugh.

01:03:48.000 What did that feel like as a mom? 0.51

01:03:49.000 It was like...

01:03:50.000 That's it.

01:03:52.000 This has been the answer all along.

01:03:54.000 Why would anybody want to take that away from them?

01:03:57.000 There's no reason why you should be butting in to my care for my child.

01:04:04.000 They put sun and exercise. 1.00

01:04:06.000 F*** you. 1.00

01:04:07.000 Royce! 1.00

01:04:09.000 Royce!

01:04:10.000 Makes him feel good.

01:04:11.000 Why would you want to take that away from him?

01:04:12.000 For the same reason that people might think it's a good idea to take away your Funyuns.

01:04:16.000 Right.

01:04:17.000 Just because it makes you feel good doesn't mean that it is doing good.

01:04:21.000 Funyuns.

01:04:21.000 Does the body good.

01:04:22.000 No, no, no.

01:04:22.000 That's milk.

01:04:23.000 But it's a vegetable.

01:04:25.000 Yeah.

01:04:25.000 There's a lot of things.

01:04:26.000 It was a vegetable.

01:04:27.000 Yeah.

01:04:28.000 At one point in time.

01:04:30.000 You know what else?

01:04:30.000 Come on, man.

01:04:31.000 You know what else lends itself to depression?

01:04:33.000 Obesity.

01:04:34.000 Obesity not only as far as your endorphins, but it also becomes a vicious cycle

01:04:37.000 People know this as it relates to your insulin resistance as it actually affects your hormones

01:04:41.000 And yes Because a lot of people actually understand us men who are

01:04:44.000 often very fat will suffer from low testosterone high estrogen

01:04:46.000 because if you look at where estrogen convert converts So I'm gonna say the conversion of testosterone to estrogen

01:04:52.000 actually happens in the presence of fat adipose tissue in other words

01:04:56.000 I have no idea what's going on in this situation.

01:04:59.000 I'm leaning towards what I'm saying being true, but there are a lot of things that can make kids upset.

01:05:04.000 of parenthood.

01:05:05.000 Yeah, and I hate to say this, I have no idea what's going on in this situation.

01:05:08.000 I'm leaning towards what I'm saying being true, but there are a lot of things that can

01:05:12.000 make kids upset.

01:05:13.000 My son wants to drink milk like it's going out of style, but if he does, he'll end up

01:05:17.000 throwing up or he'll end up not being able to sleep well.

01:05:20.000 His stomach will hurt.

01:05:21.000 That's what being a parent is.

01:05:22.000 I can look at your desire right now and have the ability with experience to say, oh, that doesn't lead to a good place.

01:05:29.000 So let me tell you so that you don't have to learn the lesson the hard way.

01:05:32.000 Except in this case, the parent just said, oh, thank God something worked.

01:05:37.000 Well, but what about four years from now?

01:05:38.000 What about five?

01:05:39.000 What about one year from now for this child with what you're doing for them?

01:05:43.000 Helping them in this moment, you're taking the short, easy way out, instead of saying, hey, long term, I've looked it up, the studies are terrible for this, it's a 40% suicide rate.

01:05:55.000 Empirically, she's wrong, John Oliver's wrong.

01:05:56.000 Yeah.

01:05:57.000 Well, we left him in his room, is what we did, and then we gave him anything he wanted to eat, and I don't know why he was sad.

01:06:03.000 And the Nintendos. 0.99

01:06:04.000 Yeah, so we gave him a vagina and now he kind of talks to us. 0.99

01:06:08.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:06:09.000 Sometimes he talks through his vagina like a puss of Senior Wednesday. 1.00

01:06:13.000 So right, so right. 1.00

01:06:14.000 He'll be like, what's for dinner?

01:06:15.000 Is it spaghetti again?

01:06:17.000 Yep, yep.

01:06:17.000 I'll say, hey, don't play with that.

01:06:19.000 You need to go do your dye later.

01:06:21.000 Oh boy.

01:06:24.000 And just to be clear, I feel bad for these children.

01:06:28.000 I have a problem with the parents, and I have a problem with John Oliver, and I have a problem with the people who perpetuate this, and I have a problem with, I'm sorry, the suburban female voters who don't stand up to your friends in your circle. 0.98

01:06:40.000 This is the reason it's happening.

01:06:41.000 Men understand that it's not good, particularly as it relates to sports, and black women and Latino women do not support this. 0.92

01:06:47.000 I broke a guy's hand at Golden Corral. 0.78

01:06:50.000 I did?

01:06:50.000 Yeah, last night.

01:06:51.000 You think you're going to get that last Salisbury?

01:06:53.000 I got something for you.

01:06:55.000 Yep. 0.97

01:06:55.000 Sand hit right to hell if you're going to go try with the other one. 0.97

01:07:01.000 Who are they to tell me if this is what works?

01:07:03.000 Well, you know what?

01:07:03.000 Your diet and exercise regimen works right now until two years from now when they have to take off a foot.

01:07:07.000 And by the way, again, it's sort of like, with diabetes, I will say, this isn't necessarily medically true, this might be what is referred to as a joke, you just have to push past it because then when they cut off your feet, your BMI resets.

01:07:21.000 And you lose weight.

01:07:23.000 It's like Apollo 13.

01:07:24.000 You have to go around the moon.

01:07:25.000 You gotta keep going to use the slingshot back of fat.

01:07:30.000 Hit the like button, by the way, if you're tired of this coming out from John Oliver.

01:07:33.000 I don't think you can have diabetes when you're dead, too, so there's that.

01:07:38.000 Well, corpses are lighter.

01:07:39.000 Cured.

01:07:40.000 That's true.

01:07:41.000 They are lighter.

01:07:42.000 I go grave robbin'.

01:07:44.000 Oh, I watched an episode of Lore with grave robbing, and it was so disturbing.

01:07:48.000 Oh, it really is.

01:07:49.000 It actually happened in the UK, where they... anyway.

01:07:53.000 Sounds sexy.

01:07:54.000 It's unrelated, but I'll talk about it.

01:07:55.000 It's how I get my jewelry.

01:07:57.000 It's how I get the pearls.

01:08:00.000 All right, here's another claim that he tries to make, again, to guilt you, John Oliver, is if you stop kids from transitioning, you You are the one.

01:08:09.000 Not the lady there who maybe is actually making horrible medical decisions that could negatively affect her child for the rest of the child's life. 1.00

01:08:16.000 You're the one who's responsible for suicidal ideation.

01:08:20.000 A survey of around 28,000 trans people found that of those who wanted hormone therapy and didn't receive it, 58% reported suicidal thoughts in a given year.

01:08:29.000 Which is why the three major professional associations of child and adolescent doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists have endorsed gender affirming care and condemned efforts to deny it.

01:08:41.000 Okay, so a couple things here.

01:08:42.000 Let me get to a truth for you, and this is tough.

01:08:45.000 We have to sort of piecemeal this.

01:08:47.000 Why?

01:08:47.000 Because we have some data on transgender youth.

01:08:50.000 We don't have the long-term data on transgender youth.

01:08:53.000 Again, we talked about that reverse nirvana fallacy.

01:08:55.000 It's because no one thought we had to study this, because it wasn't this kind of an issue.

01:08:59.000 So, trans youth are about three times more likely to attempt suicide than non-trans youth.

01:09:05.000 Okay.

01:09:05.000 We don't have the long-term suicide rates from transgender youth post-operation, because there is no data from that yet.

01:09:12.000 Nothing reliable that I've seen.

01:09:14.000 But, we have three times more likely transgender youth And then we have the fact that overall, throughout their lifetime, post-op transgenders are 19 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.

01:09:24.000 By the way, one of those stats comes from Harvard.

01:09:28.000 You can check out all the references.

01:09:29.000 I highly encourage that you do.

01:09:31.000 The data is overwhelming here.

01:09:35.000 Sure, you can say maybe a subset, the science is out, and even then I would argue no, but the totality of it is completely irrefutable.

01:09:41.000 It's why they don't address it.

01:09:45.000 It's almost entirely anecdotal from John Oliver.

01:09:47.000 I just lost my- He just threw it to the other side of your head.

01:09:49.000 That man's mad with his pen clicker!

01:09:52.000 I thought someone threw it at you.

01:09:53.000 I was like, what happened?

01:09:54.000 That look like a direct hit?

01:09:56.000 It was good.

01:09:58.000 That's what would be now with Home Alone, you know, his whole fantasy is he goes and eats nothing but sugar, right, in the giant hotel suite.

01:10:04.000 Now it would just be double-sided dildos and a sewing kit.

01:10:08.000 Still the sugar, but his parents are there.

01:10:11.000 Home Alone 3, transitioning in New York.

01:10:14.000 It's just called Home. 0.99

01:10:20.000 Harry, you're missing some balls. 1.00

01:10:22.000 My fake gold cock! 1.00

01:10:24.000 I'm gonna kill him! 1.00

01:10:28.000 That's that kid we're gonna break in and have consensual sex with him. 1.00

01:10:30.000 Yes! 1.00

01:10:33.000 I don't think he can do that, Harry.

01:10:34.000 What are you talking about?

01:10:35.000 He can choose to remove his downer when he's six years old, but the point is it's a slippery slope.

01:10:39.000 It is.

01:10:39.000 It's dark.

01:10:40.000 Now, next claim from John Oliver is that he says people, and this is something because there's a huge contingency, and again, we don't really have all the data on this, because this hasn't all been studied.

01:10:53.000 But every time we follow up on new studies, for example, when people would say that there was evidence of different brains, you know, in transgender individuals, I can't remember which study it was, and there was a Swedish study, I believe it was the Remedi study, that when they finally actually looked at it and did a control group of people and checked their brains, they actually did MRIs and checked the sort of the I don't know if it was... I know they checked the actual frontal lobe portion of the brain.

01:11:16.000 Maybe someone can grab it.

01:11:17.000 Gray matter. 0.93

01:11:17.000 They wanted to see what was changed or what was different with people who claim to be transgender. 0.93

01:11:22.000 They found that the changes, when they followed up, only occurred after cross-sex hormone replacement therapy.

01:11:28.000 This was a study that was cited for a very long time.

01:11:29.000 They said, well, hold on a second.

01:11:30.000 We didn't actually study them before they underwent the hormone replacement therapy.

01:11:34.000 Let's create a new study with a larger sample group.

01:11:37.000 I believe it was a Swedish Remedies study.

01:11:39.000 I can't remember which one.

01:11:40.000 I'm going by rote here.

01:11:41.000 It's a while ago. 0.50

01:11:42.000 I said, okay, so we're going to look at their brains first.

01:11:44.000 Look at their brain.

01:11:45.000 Oh, the changes occur after we administer hormones, which if you understand the relationship between hormones and uh neurotransmitters they're very some people argue that they're almost one in the same in some instances so we don't have data on everything but the data on people who are detransitioning as it comes out is alarming it's a very large percentage of them particularly children who transition so he tries to cut that off at the pass and silence

01:12:10.000 People who have detransitioned, saying the only reason that they have, like that lady with the black coach, the Buccaneers, saying you do understand that black people need representation, to a black man.

01:12:20.000 They're trying to say, right here, John Oliver, to the women and men who've detransitioned, you do know the only reason you're doing that is because of social stigma, right? 0.80

01:12:28.000 Here he is doing that.

01:12:29.000 And you may have seen or heard from a small subset of people who detransitioned.

01:12:33.000 But it is worth knowing, such cases are rare and highly individualized.

01:12:37.000 Studies show an average of just 2% of people who transition express regret, and that the vast majority of those who have opted to detransition did so not because of changes in their gender identity, but due to external factors such as stigma and lack of social support.

01:12:53.000 Anyway, remember we talked about if you don't intervene with children, the vast majority of them grow out of it, but if you do, almost none of them do?

01:13:01.000 It's really hard to study that as the point that you made with puberty blockers.

01:13:04.000 You don't know what puberty would have looked like without them, even if you paused, even if you stopped them.

01:13:08.000 You can't know.

01:13:09.000 It's impossible.

01:13:11.000 And by the way, something that is sort of anecdotal here but is interesting, and I would love to see a comparison, you see it with a lot of people who compete in combat sports, particularly wrestlers, who have to cut weight.

01:13:21.000 I had friends who were wrestlers, and what happened, one of them was on dialysis because they would have to cut weight.

01:13:24.000 You go into college your freshman year, you have to wrestle, let's say, at 182, and then you graduate, you still have to keep your spot at 182, and they're consistently wringing out their organs, and some of them actually don't go through puberty because of the damage that that causes.

01:13:37.000 to their endocrine system. So imagine how much more severe it would be. We don't... some of them

01:13:41.000 afterwards have to get on hormone replacement therapy for the rest of their life. The point

01:13:44.000 is when you take these drastic measures while you're growing, sometimes it is catastrophic,

01:13:50.000 and it is permanent, and it's very, very hard to study. He also, by the way, goes on to criticize

01:13:56.000 these detransitioners and uses... what is he... has an example here. Let's just show... I don't 1.00

01:14:03.000 There's so many here, bear with me. 1.00

01:14:05.000 It's more bullshit. 0.99

01:14:06.000 I could keep reading you stats and studies. 1.00

01:14:08.000 I do, after all, love doing that.

01:14:11.000 Or I could just let you watch this boy talk about what it felt like to have someone actually see him for who he was.

01:14:17.000 Dylan explained how as early as fourth grade, he'd had confusing feelings that stretched on until his teenage years.

01:14:25.000 I really wanted to cut my hair.

01:14:26.000 Like, really bad.

01:14:28.000 And so when I did that, that felt really good.

01:14:31.000 And then, I held the door for somebody, and they said, thank you, sir.

01:14:34.000 And I was like, oh yeah, that.

01:14:37.000 Yeah, that.

01:14:37.000 This little thing?

01:14:39.000 Little thing.

01:14:39.000 That sir put words to how I was feeling, and I was like, oh, yeah, that.

01:14:44.000 That felt nice.

01:14:45.000 Yeah, that's incredible!

01:14:47.000 No it's not!

01:14:48.000 That's not incredible.

01:14:49.000 Kinda rude.

01:14:50.000 Sir, I have felt good.

01:14:52.000 This should be the basis of our medical community!

01:14:56.000 That young Jake Paul lookalike with thicker eyebrows said it felt good to be called sir!

01:15:01.000 Who are you to say otherwise?

01:15:03.000 A doctor.

01:15:05.000 Not me, but I'm saying hypothetically if I was a doctor.

01:15:07.000 Right, yes.

01:15:07.000 There's a lot of things that don't feel good.

01:15:10.000 I could present facts and evidence, and you know I love to!

01:15:13.000 Actually, I don't because you don't do it.

01:15:16.000 You've been quoting from one study saying there's no new information since 2018.

01:15:20.000 But instead, here's a young transgender individual who says he likes being called sir.

01:15:26.000 That would be true.

01:15:27.000 Oh, yeah, no, that's better than empirical data.

01:15:30.000 No, it's just going back to the original argument.

01:15:32.000 Promotion thing.

01:15:32.000 At a food court.

01:15:33.000 Yes, exactly.

01:15:35.000 Is this young man at an Auntie Anne's saying that he likes olding dolls?

01:15:41.000 He's going to Lids now to get a baseball cap.

01:15:47.000 Nothing else to see here.

01:15:49.000 Off to Spencer's to get condoms for his invisible gawk.

01:15:52.000 And one of those plasma orbs!

01:15:54.000 I love those plasma orbs, you cheeky plasma orb!

01:15:57.000 What?

01:15:57.000 You know what would have been, like, the more balanced approach to this is to have somebody who's detransitioned on and say, well, how do you feel now?

01:16:06.000 What happened to listen to all trans? 1.00

01:16:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:16:09.000 They're only doing it because of peer pressure.

01:16:11.000 As opposed to kids who are transitioning first because, oh, it felt really good. 0.93

01:16:16.000 They said, sir.

01:16:17.000 Okay.

01:16:18.000 Doesn't matter.

01:16:20.000 It doesn't matter if it felt really good.

01:16:21.000 This is conflating the idea of what feels good in the moment with happiness.

01:16:24.000 They're not the same thing.

01:16:24.000 Not at all.

01:16:25.000 Not the same thing.

01:16:26.000 Guess what?

01:16:26.000 You may be married.

01:16:27.000 You love your wife.

01:16:28.000 She's fantastic.

01:16:29.000 It would feel really, really good for you in the moment to cheat on your wife with a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

01:16:35.000 Doesn't mean that it's going to lead to happiness.

01:16:37.000 Yeah.

01:16:37.000 It's going to lead to a miserable life.

01:16:40.000 going to lead to guilt. It's going to lead to calamity. It's because it feels good doesn't

01:16:45.000 mean it's right. You're dealing with narcissists. You are dealing with narcissists and what they

01:16:49.000 seek is control. Like the Meghan Markle, like the Amber Heard, it's an entire party, an entire

01:16:53.000 ideological wing of those people that gaslight you to gain control, accuse you of doing what it is

01:16:59.000 that they are doing, and discount any information or people who might question whatever their truth

01:17:07.000 That's why they use words.

01:17:08.000 That's why they use phrases like, speak my truth. 0.97

01:17:10.000 It's silly. 0.88

01:17:11.000 It's nonsensical. 0.77

01:17:11.000 Have you ever tried to break that down, that phrase? 0.77

01:17:14.000 Speaking my truth.

01:17:15.000 Those words don't fit in that order, in that sentence.

01:17:18.000 Well, that's just because it's a lie.

01:17:20.000 Yes, exactly.

01:17:20.000 It used to be called a lie.

01:17:21.000 Yeah, we've changed it.

01:17:23.000 And now it's just, well, that was my truth.

01:17:26.000 I wish I could talk my way out of a DUI with that.

01:17:29.000 Here's my truth, you're gonna be in jail.

01:17:32.000 Your honor, my truth was I was sober and did not hit a pedestrian.

01:17:36.000 You are free to go.

01:17:38.000 I understand where you're coming from.

01:17:40.000 My truth is that's always nothing more than club soda with a lime.

01:17:44.000 Your Honor, I identify as trans.

01:17:47.000 Oh, sir, please.

01:17:48.000 Right this way.

01:17:49.000 It's like you just put on the invisibility cloak.

01:17:50.000 Hold on a second.

01:17:51.000 Who's on trial here?

01:17:52.000 I can't even see you anymore.

01:17:53.000 You're free to go.

01:17:54.000 It was a man.

01:17:55.000 Worked for Caitlyn Jenner.

01:17:57.000 Yes.

01:17:58.000 How many hit and runs?

01:17:59.000 Nineteen?

01:18:00.000 All references available at lotto.com.

01:18:02.000 Here's another claim which by the way is I mean it refutes the earlier claim he was trying to make about trans individuals right if they're being ostracized by society he was talking about how much more likely they're to be depressed or attempt suicide so it's kind of a half half rebutting of his own claim but if you watch it he tries to sort of bs his way out of it where he says that trans people aren't any more susceptible to depression than most people While opponents of trans rights will say that these kids are either a menace or brainwashed, their defenders will often gravitate towards the same sad statistics that I've shown you tonight of depression and suicide.

01:18:37.000 And while that is understandable on one level, it's the most devastating harm that can be inflicted by these bills.

01:18:44.000 It's clearly not the whole story, which is that when supported, trans kids can experience full, vibrant lives because trans people are not by default unhappier or more prone to suffering than everyone else.

01:18:56.000 That is something that we are putting on them.

01:19:00.000 This is what, and notice by the way, this is also something Dave made a good point earlier about puberty and not being able to study something when it's occurring without, in the absence of the natural process.

01:19:08.000 Yeah.

01:19:09.000 Okay, so you have trans, here's what we know, trans children far more likely to experience depression, far more likely to attempt suicide or have suicidal ideation.

01:19:16.000 Then we know that transgender adults, even post-op, 19 times more likely.

01:19:21.000 The trick they pull is transgender children, right, they're more happy after they transition because they now go into a new study group. 0.99

01:19:27.000 They're no longer children.

01:19:30.000 So it's a delayed effect.

01:19:32.000 It's a fuse that's lit.

01:19:33.000 And then you say, well, hold on a second.

01:19:34.000 They're really depressed right now before transition.

01:19:37.000 Most of them are happier after transition.

01:19:39.000 What happens when they're older than 18 years old?

01:19:41.000 We don't have that data.

01:19:42.000 If you look at that data in tandem, guess what?

01:19:45.000 It gets worse.

01:19:45.000 It doesn't get any better.

01:19:47.000 but they're no longer a child. So you can have maybe a one, two, three, five year honeymoon period

01:19:53.000 where they feel really good and then they become one of those detransitioners who John Oliver 1.00

01:19:57.000 completely discounts. By the way, as it relates to depression, 44% transgender people suffer from

01:20:02.000 clinical depression. That's compared to the United States in general, about 8.4%. That's what we call

01:20:07.000 statistically significant. Well, and to call them a menace for that?

01:20:11.000 That's the part that I don't get.

01:20:12.000 He just put that on people that are compassionate about that.

01:20:16.000 It's like, you think that we think that they're a menace because they're suicidal and depressed?

01:20:20.000 No, it would be the complete opposite.

01:20:22.000 Right.

01:20:22.000 The complete opposite.

01:20:23.000 You're the menace, John, and people like you that won't dig deeply into what's going on with these kids and just uses them as a prop for your ideology.

01:20:31.000 Yeah.

01:20:31.000 That's who the menace is in this situation.

01:20:33.000 Look in the mirror.

01:20:34.000 It has to- Hey, Mr. Wilson!

01:20:36.000 He's just dangling from the porch.

01:20:40.000 Just doused in kerosene.

01:20:42.000 But that's like, he just throws that at it.

01:20:44.000 It's like, you have no clip that says anybody called them a menace.

01:20:48.000 Right.

01:20:48.000 Not one person said they were a menace.

01:20:50.000 No.

01:20:51.000 You're not afforded the benefit of the doubt. 1.00

01:20:52.000 You just want to kill transgender youth. 1.00

01:20:54.000 Hey, you know what? 1.00

01:20:55.000 I don't want to put my son or daughter in a shallow cancerous grave.

01:21:00.000 That's why.

01:21:01.000 I want to leave this world a better place for my daughter, my young son.

01:21:06.000 than it was before I came here. And I don't think the way to do that is to inject them full of hormones.

01:21:11.000 And most people don't. Most doctors don't. I guess you're going to apply pressure and leverage,

01:21:17.000 and that's what's really evil with this, trying to exclude people, exclude the voices, and exclude

01:21:21.000 doctors who say this is actually, this is actually medically, it's empirically a bad thing to do.

01:21:28.000 You're just hateful! How can you, how can you call that progress?

01:21:33.000 Alright, let's move on to the final claim here from his clip.

01:21:37.000 I encourage you to go watch this whole thing.

01:21:38.000 We about covered it all.

01:21:39.000 That children should be able to do whatever makes them happy.

01:21:43.000 And again, this is ThruLine, the anecdotal versus empirical and gaslighting you.

01:21:48.000 This is narcissism.

01:21:50.000 All the kids we've seen tonight shouldn't need to be activists.

01:21:55.000 They should get to dress how they want, go to the right bathroom for them, and play the sports they want to play. 0.98

01:22:00.000 We are working toward the goal of every trans kid knowing that they are loved, valued, and indispensable as Dolly Parton-loving, weird pet-owning, freaking dope individuals. 0.98

01:22:11.000 And never, ever going back to a point where anyone feels that if they appear on TV, they have to hide behind a f***ing plant. 0.97

01:22:19.000 So this is what they do.

01:22:20.000 They conflate love with full-fledged support for any decision that a child makes.

01:22:24.000 If my kid can't eat exclusively Pop-Tarts, does that mean I don't love them?

01:22:30.000 It makes them happy!

01:22:33.000 Your kid needs to be parented.

01:22:34.000 He needs to learn to be part of society.

01:22:36.000 He needs to know how it works.

01:22:37.000 He doesn't need a friend who lets him do whatever they want.

01:22:39.000 Exactly.

01:22:40.000 It's unbelievable to think that that's a good idea.

01:22:43.000 And to think, and again, that combined with the empirical evidence that we have as it relates to these medical decisions, what we know is bad.

01:22:50.000 We don't know everything, but almost all of what we know is bad.

01:22:55.000 It's, we love all of them.

01:22:57.000 Look, does it mean that you don't love your son or your daughter if they suffer from some kind of serious condition that maybe they need to be institutionalized for?

01:23:06.000 Does it mean you don't love your son if your son develops a chemical dependency and you send them to rehab?

01:23:13.000 He's gonna be mad at you.

01:23:15.000 He feels good doing it in that moment. 0.98

01:23:18.000 Are you comparing trans people to drug addicts?

01:23:21.000 No, I'm not comparing them to drug addicts, but certainly we are talking about exogenous hormones.

01:23:24.000 We are talking about medical intervention, often drugs, that will cause long-term ill health effects that would require A responsible parental figure to intervene in the correct way.

01:23:37.000 None of that has to do with not loving your children.

01:23:40.000 Don't be gaslit into believing you're crazy or that you're not compassionate.

01:23:45.000 And why, by the way, does personal happiness mean that fleeting feeling of what feels good?

01:23:50.000 Why is that the virtue to trump all other virtues at this point in time?

01:23:55.000 I don't know when that happened.

01:23:57.000 We weren't raised with that as kids.

01:23:59.000 I'd always say, don't do that.

01:24:00.000 But I like doing it.

01:24:01.000 Yeah, but it's wrong.

01:24:03.000 Oh, okay, but it feels good.

01:24:06.000 It's wrong.

01:24:08.000 Oh, now I know, but it feels good to drink, uh, to create a graveyard at Burger King of every single soda imaginable and go back for 19 refills.

01:24:15.000 He goes, well, you're probably not going to feel good in an hour or two and don't do it because it's bad for you.

01:24:20.000 Now extend that hour or two, the delayed reaction of five, 10 years, and that exact same scenario, that parent doesn't love you because they're not letting you do whatever it is that you want.

01:24:32.000 Again, something else really important we see throughout this entire segment, in order to make you believe that you are not compassionate, in order to make you believe that you're a bad person for holding your opinions, which is what they always do, you're racist, you're sexist, you're homophobic, you hate women, and in this case, you hate women because you believe they shouldn't be at a biological disadvantage at their own sports.

01:24:50.000 It's the gaslighting that takes place, and then we bring it back to, and, you know, What we really should do is what feels good.

01:24:58.000 That is classic narcissism.

01:25:01.000 It is a way to manipulate you to silence anyone who doesn't agree with them.

01:25:07.000 Why?

01:25:08.000 To lay it all at the altar of self-worship.

01:25:11.000 The sacrifice to what makes me feel good in the moment.

01:25:16.000 There's a reason legislation has had to exist across the country.

01:25:19.000 This is for the soul of our country.

01:25:20.000 The idea that men and women are fundamentally interchangeable and the idea that parental rights are a thing?

01:25:29.000 That's as important as it gets.

01:25:32.000 Thank you.
