00:00:30.000 Hey, everybody. How's it going?

00:00:31.740 Thanks for joining me this afternoon.

00:00:33.900 I am Oren McIntyre.

00:00:36.840 Before we get started today, I just wanted to remind you about the ongoing documentary from The Blaze called The Cover-Up.

00:00:44.800 Most Americans have been aware of Anthony Fauci since the COVID pandemic really took off in 2020.

00:00:50.760 But Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist from Rutgers University, has had Fauci on his radar since the 2001 anthrax scare.

00:01:00.000 After which Dick Cheney empowered him and the NIAID with the authority and funding for biodefense once reserved solely for the Department of Defense.

00:01:10.360 In the latest episode of Matt Keeby's documentary series, The Cover-Up, he joins Dr. Ebright as he walks us through a series of embarrassments that begins with the recreation of the deadly 1918 Spanish flu and culminates with the coming of COVID-19.

00:01:26.900 Together, Matt Keeby and Richard Ebright will connect the dots and trace the funding, giving you the answers that you've been demanding for years about the dark research, fraud, and corruption surrounding Anthony Fauci.

00:01:39.240 It's a fatal culture of hubris and graft that left so much destruction and mistrust in its wake.

00:01:46.020 Each of the four episodes of The Cover-Up Smoking Gun on Blaze TV are releasing Thursday.

00:02:11.500 All right, guys, so if you have been watching this channel for a while, you know that one of the things I like to do is go through and break down some of the stories that are being put out by the media.

00:02:27.440 I think we learn a lot about the people who are trying to shape and mold our opinions.

00:02:32.800 We look at the way that they are deploying the narrative, the angles that they are attacking, the language that they are using, the way in which they are thinking about and framing what's going on in the world.

00:02:45.300 I haven't done this for a while because really, especially after the victory of Trump in November, the left have been reeling.

00:02:54.280 They don't really know what to say.

00:02:56.180 They don't have a strong narrative to work off of.

00:03:00.140 And so there's been a lot of, you know, people kind of lashing out, trying to throw different attacks at Trump.

00:03:08.500 Mainly, it's been a lot of whining, you know, really impotent crying.

00:03:13.260 Oh, look at what Trump's doing now.

00:03:15.560 Oh, I can't believe this is America.

00:03:17.540 I'm shaking.

00:03:18.720 I'm so I'm so sad.

00:03:20.280 But they haven't really had a direction in which they were trying to push the conversation like they used to.

00:03:26.800 The left would set the narrative and the right would lag behind them.

00:03:31.640 Now we seem to be seeing a different result where Trump is moving so quickly.

00:03:36.320 He's trying to achieve so much that ultimately he's the one that is setting the narrative.

00:03:41.900 He's setting the pace.

00:03:43.220 He's setting the topics of discussion.

00:03:44.960 And the media is just sprinting behind him, desperately hoping to catch up.

00:03:49.260 Now, I was told that the woke would be put away, that Kamala Harris was a fake, a jobber, somebody who just, you know, was never meant to win.

00:04:01.240 Everybody knew she was going to lose.

00:04:03.140 There was no investment at all.

00:04:05.360 And so all of the ideology behind the left, the wokeness that they built up when approaching Kamala Harris, that was going to go away because ultimately it was just not profitable for the left.

00:04:17.120 It didn't work out and they were going to be able to abandon this.

00:04:20.520 Power was just going to switch tracks and the narrative was going to change completely.

00:04:24.280 They probably go back to some kind of like economic populism, right?

00:04:27.860 Kind of return to the Bernie Sanders style of leftism.

00:04:31.160 It's all the billionaires and billionaires.

00:04:33.660 And we're certainly seeing some of that, right?

00:04:36.040 Especially with Elon paired up with Donald Trump.

00:04:39.440 You got a pair of billionaires in the White House, literally one of them, the richest man in the world, kind of, you know, writing, if not shotgun, somewhere in the administration, being a very important figure.

00:04:51.660 And so we have seen the focus on talking about how this is the White House of billionaires.

00:04:56.640 This is all about an oligarchy, this and that.

00:04:59.160 But it hasn't really stuck yet.

00:05:00.740 It really hasn't gotten them anywhere.

00:05:03.160 And so what we've seen is a return to a lot of the woke ideology.

00:05:08.600 We've had different representatives in the House giving kind of anti-white screeds during their time speaking.

00:05:17.840 We've had CNN hosts talking about how, you know, even at CNN, there's just too many White people and everyone is racist.

00:05:24.560 And that's why all the Black CNN hosts are making a million dollars. 1.00

00:05:28.700 We've had, you know, different trans advocates showing up at all these different town halls and meetings, you know, even state legislatures talking about how they won't be silenced.

00:05:41.820 They're not going away.

00:05:43.140 But all that could just be noise, right?

00:05:46.140 That's not signal.

00:05:47.340 That's not coming from necessarily the thought leaders of the party.

00:05:52.300 I mean, some of these representatives should be, senators, representatives.

00:05:56.360 They're big time people.

00:05:57.740 But, you know, we could say maybe that's not real, right?

00:06:00.540 Maybe ultimately that's not the important message to listen to.

00:06:04.280 But just a few days ago, the New York Times came out with this.

00:06:09.560 And I want to make clear, the New York Times is basically the Pravda for our regime, right?

00:06:17.600 This is what the progressive regime believes should be correct.

00:06:22.200 This is one of the official mouthpieces.

00:06:24.860 If there's any paper in the United States that more or less speaks for the powers that be, or at least that used to be in the United States and still hold quite the foothold, then it's going to be the New York Times.

00:06:37.920 And I'd also like to point out that this is a editorial board opinion.

00:06:42.520 This isn't some random piece that came in. 0.65

00:06:45.000 This isn't crazy trans activists.

00:06:47.600 It's not even, you know, the edgy, you know, AOC or one of these people who's supposed to be on the bleeding edge of the Democratic Party, this kind of thing.

00:06:56.920 This is the editorial board of the mainstream mouthpiece for the left, right?

00:07:03.540 You can't get more mainstream left, more official regime left than a specific opinion piece from the editors of the New York Times.

00:07:15.420 And what did they choose to stand on?

00:07:18.020 What did they choose to talk about?

00:07:19.580 What did they choose to push back against with Trump?

00:07:22.380 All these different, did they go with economic populism?

00:07:25.120 Did they go with class warfare?

00:07:27.220 Did they go with, you know, new directions for the left or old directions from the left, you know, pivoting away from wokeness?

00:07:33.300 No.

00:07:34.040 They not only doubled down on wokeness, they went with the least popular aspect of wokeness,

00:07:41.700 which is trans Americans, as they say here in the title.

00:07:46.960 So we're going to go through this.

00:07:49.280 And again, Cigar Slam is over.

00:07:51.540 This is not about my bet with academic agent at this point.

00:07:54.660 That's already done.

00:07:55.600 But I just want to make it clear that this ideology is not disappearing.

00:08:00.800 And we need to factor that into what we're doing.

00:08:04.400 And that's not because I want it to disappear or not disappear.

00:08:07.060 It's simply a fact that, well, maybe the left might increase or decrease some of the volume on this.

00:08:13.680 Maybe we might see fewer corporations buy into this.

00:08:17.260 Ultimately, the Democrats and the wider left wing apparatus, including the mainstream media outlets of the mouthpieces of the left,

00:08:25.660 they are going to continue to push this.

00:08:28.500 This is not going away.

00:08:29.880 They are not abandoning this.

00:08:31.220 They are not taking a look at this and saying, oh, well, I guess this is just unpopular and we need to move on to something else.

00:08:38.120 They've been told that.

00:08:39.440 There have actually been some Democrats who have a brain cell or two running around inside their head, bouncing off each other.

00:08:47.060 And they said, you know what?

00:08:48.360 The average person doesn't seem to really be into this trans stuff.

00:08:52.220 They actually don't want dudes in women's bathrooms. 1.00

00:08:55.640 They don't want men beating up women in sports. 1.00

00:08:57.960 They don't want men sexually assaulting women in prisons. 1.00

00:09:01.820 They don't want children being mutilated.

00:09:05.680 Like, this is just not a popular thing to be pushing.

00:09:08.940 There have been, to their credit, some leftists who have said, we need to make major reform, right?

00:09:14.700 Like, we need to change this.

00:09:16.600 However, that is just not happening.

00:09:19.160 They are not being listened to, not in the small and not in the big.

00:09:23.080 Across the board, whether you're looking at the Democratic Party itself, if you're looking at its media outlets on cable news, you're looking at the paper of record, they are doubling down on this.

00:09:35.320 They are tripling down on this.

00:09:37.020 And again, it's not just the, they're not just keeping up with kind of the, oh, well, black people are oppressed, you know, go feminism stuff.

00:09:45.880 They're going to the least popular version of this, the trans stuff.

00:09:51.600 And they are saying, we have to continue to push this.

00:09:54.780 We have to fight for this.

00:09:56.080 And you can tell because they are taking the time to make this a key editorial in the New York Times.

00:10:02.580 So, let's dive into the piece here.

00:10:05.960 Again, the title is Trump's shameful campaign against transgender Americans. 0.96

00:10:11.840 Look at him walking on that trans flag. 1.00

00:10:14.560 You know, the one that they paint on crosswalks because they literally want people to walk on it.

00:10:19.380 But it's bad when Trump does it, I guess, and good when they do it in San Francisco.

00:10:24.760 I don't know.

00:10:26.940 So, let's get into the piece here.

00:10:30.420 Some of the most deplorable, we're right to the deplorable there.

00:10:34.620 Some of the most deplorable episodes in U.S. history involve the government wielding the power of the state against minority groups.

00:10:42.780 Black people, indigenous people, gay people, to name just a few.

00:10:47.140 Though these campaigns might have been received popular, might have received popular support at the time,

00:10:53.520 history has consistently judged them as immoral, illegal, and un-American.

00:10:59.400 Okay, so we start out with, we're immediately going back to the deplorables.

00:11:03.480 Again, the left has learned nothing.

00:11:05.580 Absolutely nothing.

00:11:06.620 They're still calling the average American and their opinions on this topic deplorable.

00:11:11.660 They knew what this language was.

00:11:13.400 They know where it comes from.

00:11:14.900 They know how much it's hated.

00:11:16.320 They know what it signals.

00:11:18.600 And they don't care.

00:11:19.600 They specifically deployed it at the very beginning.

00:11:23.060 They want to make it clear that they still hate Red America.

00:11:26.520 They still hate Trump voters.

00:11:28.420 They still hate you.

00:11:30.200 And they don't think that you should have a legitimate voice in politics.

00:11:34.080 That is still the number one thing that the left wants to communicate to you at the very beginning.

00:11:39.680 Now, it says, of course, we have all these campaigns against minority groups, all these terrible things that have happened to these minority groups through the years.

00:11:50.300 And you want to be on the right side of history, right?

00:11:52.560 History has judged these to be wrong.

00:11:54.480 Has history judged them to be wrong?

00:11:56.320 Or have people like the New York Times manufactured a narrative in which they're supposed to be wrong?

00:12:01.320 A lot of these campaigns were very unpopular.

00:12:05.120 Gay marriage was deeply unpopular.

00:12:07.160 It was defeated in California as recently as 2008.

00:12:11.420 Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigned against gay marriage, which puts them to the right of the majority of Republicans at this point.

00:12:20.500 Now, interestingly, it says they've been judged immoral, illegal, and un-American.

00:12:25.780 Now, interesting that having opinions on social issues might be illegal and un-American. 0.63

00:12:34.920 Very interesting way to approach this.

00:12:37.500 If you have any questions about whether or not we should be putting men in women's prisons or we should be letting men beat women in any of their contests, any of their sports,

00:12:51.600 then you're just un-American and you might be doing something illegal.

00:12:55.140 You probably should end up in jail.

00:12:56.900 That's very clearly where the left believes you should be residing.

00:13:01.560 Rather than understanding this history, President Trump is borrowing from the worst of it.

00:13:06.460 One of the very first acts of his second term was to order the government to view gender as immutable and discriminate against transgender citizens.

00:13:15.540 As of today, he declared in his inaugural address,

00:13:18.380 it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States, the government, that there are two genders, male and female.

00:13:24.320 Well, all right, so obviously we're going to get the word game here is always fun, right?

00:13:30.340 Anytime you address this stuff, it's always the sleight of hand.

00:13:34.480 We say we treat gender here as if it is separate from biological sex, right? 0.98

00:13:39.860 That you have the sex in which you were born with, and then there's the gender which you express.

00:13:46.660 That that's the way that they want to break this apart.

00:13:49.480 But the funny thing about this is the minute you get these leftists and especially the trans activists talking, 0.52

00:13:55.060 they quickly get rid of the distinction between gender and sex, right? 0.65

00:14:00.560 They love the distinction between gender and sex when it was useful to them.

00:14:05.220 But one of the reasons that this got pushed back so hard, one of the reasons they kind of crossed this line is that,

00:14:11.900 and they inevitably had to, is that they went from saying, oh, well, gender is a social construct and biological sex is science,

00:14:21.100 to saying, no, even sex is actually a construct as well.

00:14:25.800 Even sex can be changed.

00:14:27.380 Biological sex is not real. 1.00

00:14:29.340 It's artificial, or it's imposed artificially, or it can be altered at will, and that makes you a real man or a real woman.

00:14:37.240 And so there's this really convenient shell game that gets played where, you know, we're doing the Mott and Bailey out here in front

00:14:43.120 is the more defensible position of, oh, well, gender is a social construct and it's just the way you express sex.

00:14:50.560 And then the, you know, or the far less defensible position.

00:14:54.800 And then the far more, anyway, I just backed up, I just reversed the Mott and Bailey.

00:14:59.700 The point is they put the far harder thing to defend up front that biological sex isn't real or can be altered.

00:15:09.780 And then they retreat back to the idea that, well, oh, no, gender is just a social construct. 0.93

00:15:15.920 And that's distinct and different from these, right?

00:15:18.760 That's the tactic that gets used here.

00:15:20.880 So today, because we're on the back foot, we're talking about gender.

00:15:25.080 And gender, well, that is something that is, you know, is changeable because ultimately it is a social construct.

00:15:32.700 When we know, in fact, once you kind of put these cards on the table, the trans activists will tell you, oh, no, biological sex is also changeable.

00:15:40.780 So is something immutable about men and women or isn't it?

00:15:45.180 We don't get that answer.

00:15:46.260 They don't want there to be an answer because if there is an answer, then they have to point out that, well, they're science deniers, that they deny the biological reality of sex and its manifestation.

00:15:57.980 Then when people, if we want to use their language, you know, kind of present that in gender.

00:16:04.000 Though, again, I would really just reject this idea that there's a separation between these things in any significant way.

00:16:11.500 Gender is a natural outgrowth of biological realities. 1.00

00:16:15.640 It is not a purely social construct. 0.95

00:16:18.480 It's not like society looked at someone with a penis and someone with a vagina and is like, oh, we spun the wheel or we threw a dart at the board. 0.98

00:16:25.540 And now you get these characteristics and they get those characteristics. 0.98

00:16:28.820 No, those identities are emergent out of a biological reality.

00:16:32.880 They might vary slightly.

00:16:34.920 You could say in the fact that, you know, gender has different manifestations across different cultures, the way that it's observed or what's viewed to be masculine could have some variation between different cultures, right?

00:16:45.900 If you're looking at some cultures, your eyeliner was something that men would wear, right, as opposed to other cultures where that was distinctly feminine.

00:16:53.600 But either way, those ideas are always emerging out of a biological reality.

00:16:59.620 But again, we want to avoid those biological realities because those get messy and they make us start looking like we might be people who deny science, which the left absolutely, of course, does.

00:17:10.440 The early days of Trump's second term have raised any number of concerns about actions that run dangerously counter to both the laws and the best interests of the country and its people.

00:17:22.140 But the chaos of these past few weeks shouldn't mask that in this period, he has also waged a direct campaign against a single vulnerable minority as we've seen in the as we've seen in generations.

00:17:34.680 So, uh, big evil Trump, he's doing so much, he's doing everything so quickly that we can't stop and focus on anything.

00:17:41.980 But if we are going to stop and focus on one thing, and again, this just shows that Trump's strategy is working, right?

00:17:46.780 Overwhelm the enemy, shock and awe, get so many actions, so much pushback, so many executive orders that they just can't stop and sit on a narrative.

00:17:55.580 Like, they're just admitting up front, and they've done this many times, that Trump's strategy entering office is working.

00:18:02.460 However, they say if we're going to stop and point to one thing, we should stop and point to transgender issues. 0.75

00:18:10.920 That's the hill we should die on. 0.95

00:18:12.880 That is where we should plant our feet, right?

00:18:15.100 That is what they are saying.

00:18:17.960 Back to the piece here.

00:18:19.040 Within hours, this language began to, uh, began to be codified into a series of executive orders and actions attempting to exclude transgender people from nearly every aspect of American life.

00:18:32.360 Uh, no, not really, but moving on.

00:18:35.720 Denying them accurate identification documents as a passport.

00:18:39.080 Well, that's a lie.

00:18:39.980 Uh, you're actually demanding inaccurate documents.

00:18:43.840 And inaccurate documents in an official capacity in which it could be used for law enforcement, travel, all kinds of critical things.

00:18:50.940 Again, you're not just asking them to put fake pronouns in their Twitter bio or their email signature.

00:18:56.840 You're asking the government to put fake pronouns on a piece of identification that is used by law enforcement, officials, travel, you know, intelligence, everybody uses this.

00:19:08.480 So, just lying up front and lying about a piece of documentation that is not frivolous.

00:19:14.200 It's not, it's not you just putting your fake pronouns in your Tumblr, uh, profile.

00:19:19.400 It is you demanding that the government lie about your biological characteristics in order to please some subset of American, uh, tiny subset of the American population.

00:19:33.040 Imposing a nationwide restriction on gender affirming medical care for transgender youth.

00:19:37.700 There's another name for that. 0.93

00:19:39.400 It's called mutilating kids. 0.99

00:19:42.220 That is a horrific, uh, euphemism for taking a knife and chopping the genitals of a child up. 0.99

00:19:51.560 That is what they are talking about. 0.99

00:19:53.320 We are not going to mince words here.

00:19:55.200 What the New York Times is saying is we can't believe that Donald Trump said you shouldn't be able to carve up children.

00:20:04.100 Because the New York Times is for carving up children. 0.82

00:20:09.200 It is for child mutilation. 0.92

00:20:12.200 The left is pro-child mutilation. 0.59

00:20:14.340 They want to hurt children and they can't believe that Donald Trump said no. 0.99

00:20:20.640 That's why they're going to call him a fascist.

00:20:22.880 That's why they're going to call him authoritarian. 0.79

00:20:25.240 That's why they're going to call him Hitler. 0.98

00:20:27.000 Because he doesn't want leftists mangling children. 0.93

00:20:31.880 That's what it is.

00:20:34.100 It's, it's not health care.

00:20:36.580 It's not, you know, transgender youth. 0.97

00:20:38.580 There are no transgender youth.

00:20:40.360 There are children who are being abused.

00:20:43.500 And that's what the New York Times is talking about.

00:20:45.860 New York Times is pro-child abuse.

00:20:47.820 The left is pro-child abuse. 0.89

00:20:49.580 The New York Times is pro-child mutilation. 0.78

00:20:53.060 The left is pro-child mutilation.

00:20:54.960 And they are standing on it.

00:20:57.280 This is where they want to be.

00:21:00.320 Post-Trump.

00:21:01.820 Post-the landslide.

00:21:03.580 Post-the mandate.

00:21:05.140 Post-the popular win.

00:21:06.660 Post-the electoral college win.

00:21:08.860 Post-the wins in Congress and the Senate.

00:21:12.360 The House and the Senate.

00:21:14.160 They still want this to be the issue.

00:21:17.340 We have to stop and talk about this.

00:21:19.440 Yeah, Trump is doing all this other stuff.

00:21:21.680 But the New York Times says, what are we going to spend our time on in this opinion piece?

00:21:25.500 We're going to stop and talk about the importance of being able to mutilate and abuse children.

00:21:31.720 That is their priority.

00:21:34.380 That is what they want.

00:21:35.780 It is not going away.

00:21:37.520 It defines them.

00:21:41.520 Investigating schools with gender-neutral bathrooms.

00:21:44.080 Yes, you should not be encouraging the idea that there is some third gender or there is a place in which you should allow male and female students to go to the bathroom together. 1.00

00:21:56.840 That is obviously stupid. 1.00

00:21:58.800 It is asking for abuse. 1.00

00:22:00.880 It is asking for this. 0.93

00:22:02.340 And in case you were wondering if that's some kind of real concern, remember that a parent was arrested at a school board meeting when he came and went ahead and protested the fact that his daughter was raped by a trans student, by a male student pretending to be female.

00:22:22.080 So this is not some hypothetical that never happens.

00:22:25.300 This is not some theoretical abuse that conservatives are just scaremongering about.

00:22:29.720 But this is a direct, real thing that has been done, victimized children.

00:22:36.760 And the parents who tried to stand up against it got hauled out by the police.

00:22:40.900 So yeah, this isn't just some weird thing conservatives have this hang-up about.

00:22:45.880 It is real abuse happening to real children because the New York Times, the left, the Democratic Party are more interested than pushing their wokeness, even after their resounding defeat on this issue, than they are protecting children.

00:23:01.900 Criminalizing teacher support for transgender students and commanding the federal bureaucracy of prisons to force the estimated 1,500 transgender women in custody to be housed with men.

00:23:12.780 There's another way to frame that.

00:23:14.080 They said men have to be housed with men. 0.72

00:23:16.200 They said that men, even if they put on a wig, don't get to go to a women's prison. 0.99

00:23:23.580 And guess what happens when they house transgender men or transgender women in women's prisons? 1.00

00:23:30.200 The transgender women rape the real women. 1.00

00:23:34.200 That's what actually happens. 1.00

00:23:35.700 So once again, the New York Times is pro-abuse, pro-rape, pro-child mutilation.

00:23:44.280 And by extension, the left Democrats, progressives are pro this stuff.

00:23:50.220 This is the stuff they want to take a stand on.

00:23:53.320 They're not going to talk about immigration.

00:23:55.200 They're not going to talk about economics, populism, any of that.

00:24:00.060 They want to focus on this. 0.99

00:24:02.040 It's super important that kids can be mutilated, that female prisoners can be sexually assaulted. 0.98

00:24:09.160 This is what matters to them. 0.99

00:24:11.100 This is the hill they want to die on. 0.99

00:24:13.800 The broadside against transgender people was not unexpected. 0.97

00:24:17.600 An anti-transgender politician suspend at least 215 million scapegoat transgender people for a variety of societal ills.

00:24:24.380 Actually, most of this is directed at the activists and the doctors and others who are forcing this on people.

00:24:33.440 Though, to be fair, yeah, actually, also, it's not great.

00:24:35.860 Because if you have transgender women assaulting women in prison, whose fault is that? 0.98

00:24:42.640 Is it a scapegoat? 0.99

00:24:44.220 Are these just fake people? 0.99

00:24:46.020 Was the dad whose daughter was sexually assaulted in a bathroom by a trans woman, was he just making it up? 0.99

00:24:53.840 Are you calling his female, you know, are you calling his daughter a liar? 0.98

00:24:59.620 I thought we were supposed to believe all females. 0.99

00:25:01.520 I thought we believed all women, except if they're being sexually assaulted by fake women. 0.97

00:25:05.560 Then we don't believe them, I guess.

00:25:07.920 The Republican Party has increasingly viewed attacking trans rights as a political winner, which it is. 1.00

00:25:14.400 Literally, they won.

00:25:16.200 So, it's not just viewing it as a winner.

00:25:19.020 They won.

00:25:20.160 And that's why you lost.

00:25:21.220 It's not the only reason you lost, but it's a notable reason that you lost, and you learned nothing.

00:25:26.280 You learned absolutely nothing.

00:25:27.660 Now, I predicted you would learn nothing.

00:25:29.680 I expected you to learn nothing.

00:25:31.280 But it's good to see the truth, that you have learned absolutely nothing about this.

00:25:35.660 Yes, it was a political winner for the right, much as it did attacking civil rights during Richard Nixon's presidency and attacking gay rights in George W. Bush's presidency.

00:25:45.860 By the way, remember, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008.

00:25:53.760 They defended marriage as being between a man and a woman.

00:25:58.140 I guess we're just going to leave that out here.

00:25:59.580 It's really inconvenient to remind people that this was the Democrats' position.

00:26:05.660 When George Bush was in office.

00:26:07.420 But, yeah, whatever.

00:26:08.740 Don't want to mix any of the messaging up here.

00:26:12.400 That posture was disgracefully reflected in the speed and glee with which House Republicans barred transgender woman from using women's restrooms on Capitol Hill after the election of Sarah,

00:26:28.320 Sarah, not Sarah, McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress.

00:26:33.000 As for Trump, he won power by charactering and demonizing trans people. 0.89

00:26:37.580 Now he's using the power to harm trans people.

00:26:40.600 Actually, I think that Republicans in Congress just didn't want men in the women's bathroom. 1.00

00:26:45.400 This crazy thing that actually almost everyone in the United States agrees with, you know, the reason you lost.

00:26:53.360 Yeah, but, yeah, just this crazy thing they come up with out of nowhere where they listen to the people and then they kind of use that as a reason to enact policy.

00:27:03.540 But, you know, I guess it's a threat to democracy or something, right?

00:27:06.440 The Trump's administration's attacks come half a decade after the conservative-dominated Supreme Court ruled in Bostock v. Clayton County that discrimination against transgender people is sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

00:27:25.020 Thank you.

00:27:26.180 Thank you.

00:27:26.780 I appreciate you doing my work for me, guys.

00:27:28.780 I don't even have to make the case.

00:27:30.400 You make the case.

00:27:31.240 It's so kind of you.

00:27:32.260 I really do.

00:27:32.860 I appreciate it.

00:27:33.580 You mean that the way that the Civil Rights Act is interpreted means that basically the court can make up any insane ruling that has nothing to do with the original text of the Civil Rights Act, anything to do with the original intention of the Civil Rights Act, and they can use that to impose this draconian idea of redefining sex and forcing literally everyone in the United States to agree with it and live with it.

00:28:00.340 You mean they can just do that at any time and you'll celebrate it?

00:28:04.700 Wow, man, this whole Civil Rights Act seems like it might be out of control.

00:28:08.960 It sounds like actually the core of the problem might not just be a recent ruling, but actually the Civil Rights Act itself and the body of law that follows is actually a massive problem that deprives people the right to live in an ordered and safe society.

00:28:24.840 It's almost like the Civil Rights Act has been specifically interpreted interpreted interpreted with the intention of disassembling the entire civilization.

00:28:36.460 Man, I really appreciate you guys making that case for me.

00:28:39.700 They quote Neil Gorsuch here.

00:28:43.920 It is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against the individual based on sex.

00:28:52.680 Again, thank you for reminding us that Neil Gorsuch is not great.

00:28:56.280 It should be recognized that society is still grappling with the cultural and policy implications of the rapidly shifting understanding of gender.

00:29:06.360 There are some issues, such as participating in sports and appropriate medical care for minors, that remain fiercely debated even by those who broadly support trans rights.

00:29:15.780 Wait, you just told me that Trump is a monster for denying these critical rights to people.

00:29:22.120 You just told me that.

00:29:23.940 Let me finish the rest of this because it'll make more sense in the context.

00:29:27.040 There should be room for this conversation.

00:29:29.680 No, you just told us there is no room for this conversation.

00:29:33.540 You just told us that the Republicans are evil for having this conversation, that Trump is the enemy for having this conversation, that he is abusing the rights of trans people for having this conversation.

00:29:45.840 We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.

00:29:48.260 Rocky's vacation, here we come.

00:29:50.400 Whoa, is this economy?

00:29:53.120 Free beer, wine, and snacks.

00:29:55.560 Sweet.

00:29:56.660 Fast free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.

00:30:00.720 And with live TV, I'm not missing the game.

00:30:03.540 It's kind of like I'm already on vacation.

00:30:06.940 Nice.

00:30:08.200 On behalf of Air Canada, nice travels.

00:30:11.200 Wi-Fi available to airplane members on equipped flights.

00:30:13.300 Sponsored by Bell. Conditions apply.

00:30:14.660 CRCanada.com.

00:30:15.680 Now, all of a sudden, you're losing and it turns out, oh, maybe we do need the conversation.

00:30:19.620 You know, we're just trying to have a conversation here.

00:30:21.900 No, no, you're not.

00:30:23.060 You're trying to shut it down, which is why you just called Trump a monster for having the exact conversation.

00:30:28.680 What's the point of the conversation if you can't have one side who says no?

00:30:32.700 There is no conversation if you have a side that's not allowed to say no.

00:30:37.880 What you mean by the conversation is the ability to push your propaganda.

00:30:43.260 And in case you're not familiar, this goes directly back to one of the episodes that I did, I believe, with The Prudentialist, that Nick Land talked about the dialectic and the way in which integrative dialectics or conversations, public conversations, always move us left.

00:31:00.140 Wherever there is a disagreement, there's an opportunity to rule.

00:31:04.480 There's an opportunity for the left to take power.

00:31:07.100 And we see what's happening here.

00:31:08.680 The New York Times is deploying exactly this leftist tactic.

00:31:11.600 We need to have a conversation about trans issues.

00:31:15.160 Now, there is no real conversation.

00:31:16.900 The conversation is over the minute you've had it.

00:31:19.300 The minute that the definition of male and female is up for debate, you've already lost the debate.

00:31:25.780 Because male and female are core axioms. 0.97

00:31:29.240 And core axioms are fundamentally right-wing.

00:31:33.240 Because God's order, the nature in which we exist, is hierarchical.

00:31:39.080 It was designed divinely with a specific understanding of reality.

00:31:45.120 And any time we are debating that core reality, we are acting against his wishes.

00:31:52.800 We are acting against his order.

00:31:54.340 And that is where the left thrives.

00:31:56.740 The right lives by order.

00:31:58.740 The left dies by order.

00:32:01.080 The right dies by the dialectic.

00:32:03.280 The left lives by the dialectic.

00:32:05.500 The left wants you debating core axioms of reality.

00:32:08.500 Because if they can break that apart and create some kind of argument about it, they can generate power.

00:32:15.180 Now, the New York Times knows this conversation is over.

00:32:18.380 They know that there is no correct answer for the right.

00:32:21.520 They know that no one is allowed to say no to transgender people in their paradigm.

00:32:26.460 And yet they say we need to have a conversation.

00:32:28.760 What they mean is, we want you to have a public struggle session.

00:32:33.780 We want to be able to attack you.

00:32:35.460 We want to be able to insult you. 0.52

00:32:37.880 And we want to be able to advance our cause.

00:32:40.680 That's the conversation.

00:32:42.440 The conversation is over.

00:32:44.300 But we have to have a performative conversation so that we can actually advance leftist ideas.

00:32:50.860 That's what they're saying.

00:32:51.620 But what shouldn't be debated, well, it looks like they have an axiom, is whether the government should target a group of Americans to be stripped of their freedom and dignity and move through the world as they choose.

00:33:03.880 Again, immediately, one sentence later, they say, we've got to have a debate.

00:33:07.880 There's already disagreement on this issue.

00:33:09.580 But one sentence later, they say, but you know what's not up for debate?

00:33:13.760 That trans people should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want.

00:33:17.240 That there should be no restrictions on trans people.

00:33:19.520 That they should be able to violate every social norm without any kind of restriction.

00:33:24.480 So there is no debate.

00:33:25.820 And they admit it literally one sentence after saying we should be able to have a debate.

00:33:30.680 They say we can have a debate, but you can't come to any conclusion that would restrict any of the behavior of trans people.

00:33:37.320 So you can't come to a conclusion that trans people shouldn't play on women's teams.

00:33:42.120 We can't come to the conclusion that trans people shouldn't be in women's bathrooms. 0.57

00:33:45.780 You can't come to the conclusion that trans people shouldn't be in women's prisons. 1.00

00:33:50.020 You can't come to that conclusion.

00:33:52.040 That conclusion is off limits.

00:33:53.720 That axiom is unassailable.

00:33:55.240 Because all of the left's beliefs are unassailable and all of your beliefs are up for debate.

00:34:00.420 That's the rhetorical strategy that's being used here.

00:34:02.860 All of your truths are easily dismantled and all of the left's truths are divinely enshrined.

00:34:10.360 Any speech against the left's truths is heresy and all of the speech against your truths is heroism.

00:34:17.420 That's what's happening here.

00:34:18.860 That's what they're doing.

00:34:19.660 This is a campaign in which cruelty and humiliation seem to be the fundamental point. 0.93

00:34:27.160 No, I think cruelty is actually allowing male prisoners to sexually assault females.

00:34:33.660 I think cruelty is the fundamental point of putting women in combat sports with men. 1.00

00:34:40.220 I think cruelty is the fundamental point of making women's spaces unsafe. 1.00

00:34:47.860 I think that's actually the fundamental point.

00:34:50.020 I think that's actually cruel.

00:34:52.040 Back to the piece here.

00:34:53.160 The fear-mongering is all the more disproportionate.

00:34:56.240 Again, fear-mongering.

00:34:58.020 Well, yes, those are real issues.

00:34:59.300 Yes, we're having the debate.

00:35:00.720 Yes, you can come up with many examples of the actual victimization of women in these environments.

00:35:06.460 But it's all fear-mongering because the New York Times cares deeply about women when they're a political pawn, but not when they're actually real victims.

00:35:15.820 When a woman is a victim of a trans person, they disappear.

00:35:19.700 They just disappear. 0.99

00:35:22.280 Women who are victimized by a trans person don't exist or they're liars. 0.97

00:35:27.420 That's how the left treats them because the left doesn't care about women at all. 0.99

00:35:32.180 It's all a lie.

00:35:33.480 They don't care about women one bit. 0.61

00:35:35.400 They don't matter.

00:35:38.300 They are a minuscule, less than 1% of an American population.

00:35:42.420 Cool.

00:35:42.800 Why are we warping the world around them then?

00:35:45.420 If they are a minuscule part of the population, why do we have to change every aspect of society for them?

00:35:52.720 And the answer is simple.

00:35:53.820 Because the left wants the revolution.

00:35:56.440 They want the political power that's generated by them.

00:35:59.020 Yes, it's only 0.5 or whatever of the population, but we need that excuse in order to push this ideology onto you, to indoctrinate your children, to warp the way every aspect of culture works.

00:36:13.460 We need this.

00:36:14.420 So even if the reality that we admit is that this is a small percentage of the population, minuscule in their own words, we still have to revolutionize the population in their name so that we can have the political power that is hidden behind it.

00:36:29.340 They're a minuscule, less than 1% of the American population.

00:36:32.740 They are 0.002% of college athletes, a population that has been especially incendiary in the culture wars.

00:36:39.980 Again, then why do we care?

00:36:42.200 If they're so small, if there's so few transgender athletes that it barely makes a blip on the radar, why do we have to change women's sports for them? 1.00

00:36:52.180 And what is the representation of trans athletes at the top of women's sports? 0.98

00:36:57.140 Even though they're 0.002% of the overall college athletic population, how many titles are they winning?

00:37:03.520 How many records are they setting?

00:37:05.020 I bet it's wildly disproportionate.

00:37:06.660 You know why?

00:37:07.240 Because men are different from women. 1.00

00:37:08.600 And so even if you only put 0.002% of men into a pool of women's athletes, guess who's going to come out on top? 0.74

00:37:18.980 The one who had testosterone their entire life.

00:37:21.760 Look, I'm not here to fight for women's sports. 0.98

00:37:25.060 I don't deeply care about women's sports in any real way. 0.92

00:37:28.500 But your own logic on this issue is absurd, and I do think that women should at the very least have the right to compete in sports when they choose without men involving themselves, especially when that sport is literally involving people getting hit or hurt.

00:37:43.920 But even when it's not, it's clearly unfair to women who are actual athletes that you are putting men in these divisions.

00:37:50.780 But you're pretending like the small percentage makes a difference.

00:37:53.180 No, it makes it worse.

00:37:54.640 In the U.S. military, slightly more than 1% of troops are transgender.

00:37:59.840 Well, there's an interesting point.

00:38:02.600 Why are there more trans people in the military than there are in the general population?

00:38:09.980 Like, not significantly, you know, not a huge percent more.

00:38:13.680 But why are they overrepresented to any degree in the military?

00:38:18.300 Is there some kind of incentive structure that encourages people to invest in this identity and therefore makes it overrepresented?

00:38:24.640 Or overrepresentative?

00:38:27.760 What makes the Pentagon?

00:38:29.820 That makes the Pentagon the largest employer of transgender people in the country.

00:38:33.820 Okay, so again, there are more trans people in the military than there are in the general population.

00:38:40.040 Why?

00:38:40.560 And that has made the military service a prime target for anti-trans movement.

00:38:45.620 So it was especially dispiriting and symbolically important that another of the president's new executive orders aimed to out openly transgender soldiers from the armed services and bar them from joining.

00:38:57.820 In this move, Mr. Trump took aim both at people who have put their lives on the line for their nation and at an institution that has historically played a critical role in debates over the recognition and integration of minorities. 0.90

00:39:10.300 No, he's trying to keep mentally ill people out of the military. 0.94

00:39:13.240 To be frank, like we don't want a bunch of mentally ill people in the military. 1.00

00:39:20.160 That's not great.

00:39:21.620 In fact, we specifically have mental health standards in the military for a reason. 0.86

00:39:27.340 And until recently, transgenderism was accurately described as a mental illness because, of course, it is. 1.00

00:39:35.220 So, yes, we don't want a bunch of transgender people in the military because we don't want a bunch of mentally ill people in the military. 1.00

00:39:43.580 It is a critical life or death scenario. 0.98

00:39:46.260 Now, I have never been in the military.

00:39:47.500 I have nothing but respect for people who have been my own.

00:39:51.340 My family is in the military.

00:39:52.540 I grew up on military bases.

00:39:54.000 A lot of my friends are military.

00:39:55.980 And none of them want transgender people in their units. 0.98

00:39:59.000 None of them want transgender people serving with them because, yeah, it's disruptive to the unit. 1.00

00:40:04.220 It creates all these awkward scenarios, breaks down unit cohesion. 0.99

00:40:07.500 But most importantly, because they're mentally ill and they don't want mentally ill people on the front lines or anywhere else when it comes to mission critical stuff. 0.81

00:40:18.400 When people's lives on the line, when people are going to die, when the national security is at stake, you don't want people who are cross-dressing because they have a deep mental illness being in important positions. 0.98

00:40:32.140 It's really that simple.

00:40:33.340 The order called for imposing federally mandated discrimination against the estimated 15,000 to 25,000 Americans who have agreed to put their lives in line to defend the nation.

00:40:44.860 All right.

00:40:45.200 So I want to stop with the word discrimination here real quick.

00:40:48.460 Now, the word discrimination is supposed to be evil, right?

00:40:51.020 Discrimination.

00:40:51.800 We can't be discriminating against people.

00:40:53.440 Discriminating is bad.

00:40:54.240 Even, you know, conservatives, Republicans, squishes, they'll go, ooh, discrimination.

00:40:59.060 It's bad.

00:40:59.380 I'm not discriminatory.

00:41:00.580 Oh, no, no, no.

00:41:01.340 No, I want to be clear.

00:41:02.160 We absolutely have to be discriminatory.

00:41:04.680 And the military should be extremely discriminatory.

00:41:10.340 They should care deeply about who can get in and who can and who can serve and who can't.

00:41:15.420 In fact, the military has all kinds of discrimination.

00:41:18.360 It discriminates against fat people. 0.51

00:41:20.740 It won't let them in if they're too fat. 0.99

00:41:22.820 It discriminates against people who have mental illness. 0.98

00:41:26.740 Except, I guess, this one.

00:41:28.180 It discriminates against people who have criminal records to sufficient extent. 1.00

00:41:33.380 It discriminates against people who are too stupid. 1.00

00:41:37.400 There's an ASVAB test. 1.00

00:41:39.160 And if you don't get high enough on it, you can't do anything in the military.

00:41:43.080 You basically can't join.

00:41:44.140 So, actually, discrimination is pretty critical to everything in our lives.

00:41:49.420 And it's extremely critical to the military.

00:41:53.220 I want a high degree of discrimination in the military.

00:41:57.300 Especially when it comes to, like, elite units.

00:42:01.620 You know, Rangers, Special Forces, SEALs, Force Recon.

00:42:07.260 These are very discriminatory organizations inside the military.

00:42:11.700 The military is already discriminatory.

00:42:14.740 And these units are even more discriminatory.

00:42:18.540 And that is good.

00:42:20.200 Their discriminatory nature is good and necessary. 0.98

00:42:23.800 Without it, they would fail at their jobs.

00:42:26.380 So, yeah, I'm actually really pro-discrimination when it comes to the military selecting the best people to keep other people from killing us.

00:42:35.540 That's actually a really good thing for them to do.

00:42:37.660 So, expressing, they're doing a quote here again, expressing a false gender identity divergent from individual sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service, the order says.

00:42:50.660 Absolutely.

00:42:51.880 If you are projecting a mental illness onto reality, you could not be in the military.

00:42:59.640 You should not be there.

00:43:00.540 Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of gender identity inconsistent with an individual's sex conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplinary life, even one's personal life.

00:43:17.600 All right.

00:43:17.940 That is based.

00:43:18.920 That is super based, actually.

00:43:20.180 That executive order language is very based.

00:43:22.820 It's pointing out, yes, there's the mental illness problem.

00:43:25.580 Yes, the fact that you are dependent on hormones, drugs on a consistent basis, you've had extensive surgical work, makes you a liability in the field.

00:43:34.680 What if you can't get the right, you know, hormones?

00:43:37.420 What if one of the surgical procedures you went through makes you more vulnerable to injury on the battlefield?

00:43:43.440 Like, these are all just practical concerns for people who are literally fighting for their lives.

00:43:48.780 But on top of this, the executive order specifically says, and if you are living a lie that you are a man when you are a woman or a woman when you are a man, that actually conflicts with a soldier's dedication to honor, truth, and a disciplined lifestyle.

00:44:05.220 Which it absolutely does.

00:44:07.140 That's just true and based that they put that in there.

00:44:09.640 They could have just stopped with the physical restrictions, the biological issues, maybe even the mental illness issues.

00:44:16.680 But they make it an issue of character.

00:44:18.940 If you are going to lie about your gender, if you are going to misrepresent who you are as a person to the world, then you have a character issue on top of all the other issues that you have.

00:44:31.680 Impressive.

00:44:32.120 Not only does this order erase the honorable service and potentially the pensions of soldiers who led infantry patrols in Afghanistan and flew combat missions over Syria, it attempts to deny that they exist as transgender people at all.

00:44:47.660 They don't.

00:44:48.240 It's not real.

00:44:48.900 It's fake.

00:44:49.260 A man's assertion that he is a woman and his requirement that all others honor this falsehood is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required to be a service member declared the order.

00:45:02.320 Again, based, based, based, based, based, based.

00:45:05.800 Thousands of transgender soldiers who have served with the distinction and honor for nearly a decade easily put the lie to the idea that they are unfit for service.

00:45:15.760 I'm sorry.

00:45:16.180 I thought that they were a minuscule part of the population.

00:45:18.620 I thought they didn't matter at all.

00:45:20.240 I thought they barely registered.

00:45:21.840 But apparently they're also a key part of our military force.

00:45:25.520 What is it?

00:45:26.420 It's one or the other.

00:45:27.900 Either they're minuscule, they barely exist, and we shouldn't be thinking about it.

00:45:31.660 Or they're a key linchpin to freedom around the world.

00:45:34.920 It's one or the other.

00:45:35.940 Pick.

00:45:36.160 Meanwhile, the notion that the existence of openly transgender soldiers is harmful to a unit long, the go to excuse for opponents of allowing black people, women and gays to serve in the armed forces is contradicted by numerous rigorous studies.

00:45:49.980 The most comprehensive by the RAND Corporation.

00:45:52.820 Oh, boy.

00:45:53.760 Well, real trustworthy there.

00:45:55.700 Examine other countries that allow transgender soldiers to serve openly and found little to no impact on unit cohesion, operational effectiveness or readiness.

00:46:04.020 Again, just a lie.

00:46:06.140 Just an outright lie.

00:46:07.260 Oh, I got a study.

00:46:08.640 Good for you, man.

00:46:09.580 Every single military person I know doesn't want to serve in a unit like this.

00:46:14.400 They don't want people like this in their unit.

00:46:18.020 Period.

00:46:18.920 For all the reasons listed in the executive order and more.

00:46:22.440 They don't want it.

00:46:23.620 Sorry, Margaret.

00:46:24.540 We just don't want them in the military.

00:46:26.840 That's it.

00:46:27.820 It's over.

00:46:28.800 There's no argument here.

00:46:30.400 End of discussion.

00:46:31.060 The first Trump administration was thwarted in 2017 by the court in its efforts to bar transgender Americans from serving in the country.

00:46:40.020 The Biden administration reversed this policy before the court could rule.

00:46:43.860 Transgender troops have served openly, many on overseas deployments without incident for the past four years.

00:46:50.040 Much to the ire of conservatives. 0.98

00:46:52.020 Transgender people should never be allowed to serve. 1.00

00:46:54.400 It's that simple. 0.98

00:46:55.580 Pete Hegseth, now defense secretary, wrote in his most recent book.

00:46:59.140 There you go.

00:46:59.580 It's that simple.

00:47:01.920 Department of Defense, head of it, has already spoken.

00:47:04.280 It's done.

00:47:05.380 Within hours of its signing, this executive order was challenged in court by six active duty transgender service members and two seeking to enlist.

00:47:14.260 Because obviously the president doesn't have control of the military.

00:47:17.800 What does he think?

00:47:18.480 He's the commander in chief or something?

00:47:21.580 Does he think he has some constitutional authority over the military?

00:47:25.100 Where does he get off with this kind of idea?

00:47:28.440 Mr. Trump's executive orders have often been enjoined by the lower courts, and it is important not to overstate the power that the president has to make radical changes absent of a sign-off of Congress, even as he appears to be trying to erode those guardrails.

00:47:43.380 Again, he is the chief executive.

00:47:46.000 He is the duly elected leader of the United States, the chief executive in charge of the executive branch.

00:47:54.940 He controls the military.

00:47:56.460 He is literally called the commander-in-chief.

00:47:59.400 There is nothing he is doing here that is unconstitutional in any way, shape, or form.

00:48:08.120 Yes, it is difficult to imagine another cohort of thousands of service members kicked out of the military for reasons totally unrelated to performance or willingness to follow orders with barely a whimper from the country's hundreds of pro-military and veteran groups, pundits, and elected officials.

00:48:24.680 What a lie, what an incredible lie, just the hubris of the New York Times here to write this paragraph is insane, absolutely insane.

00:48:36.720 They know for a fact that Trump supporters were ran out of the military.

00:48:43.700 They know for a fact that people who were skeptical about the efficacy of the vaccine or the pandemic were run out of the military.

00:49:00.080 They know this, and they print this anyway. 1.00

00:49:03.980 They are garbage liars. 1.00

00:49:05.960 They are the scum of the earth. 1.00

00:49:07.740 Journalists are the enemy of the American people. 1.00

00:49:11.060 They are lying. 0.84

00:49:13.020 They know they're lying.

00:49:14.560 We know that they know that they are lying, and they continue to lie.

00:49:19.600 Yes, we can imagine a scenario in which thousands of service members are kicked out for no good military reason.

00:49:28.520 Yeah, we can imagine that scenario because it literally happened under Joe Biden.

00:49:32.340 Because they had the wrong political affiliation, or they were skeptical about a vaccine that was proven not to do what the CDC said it was going to do.

00:49:42.780 Proven.

00:49:44.480 These are facts.

00:49:46.000 We have them now.

00:49:47.340 We know that's the case.

00:49:49.560 And yet the New York Times prints this.

00:49:52.020 Just wiping away that event.

00:49:53.800 Completely, completely wiping away that event. 1.00

00:49:56.640 Just insane liars. 1.00

00:49:59.180 Insane liars. 1.00

00:50:00.640 These are the scum of the earth. 1.00

00:50:02.500 It's true that Americans are divided by the new and shifting politics around gender identity. 1.00

00:50:07.480 They mean the mutilation of children.

00:50:09.340 They mean the sexual assault on women. 0.98

00:50:11.680 They mean physically beating women in sports by men.

00:50:16.600 That's what they mean.

00:50:17.420 This is done with the euphemisms.

00:50:19.280 What they mean by gender identity, the shifting policies of gender identity, they mean they are pro-child abuse. 0.55

00:50:27.900 They are pro-child mutilation. 0.77

00:50:29.580 They are pro-sexual assault against women. 0.96

00:50:31.960 They are pro-physical violence in sports against women.

00:50:35.060 They are for this stuff.

00:50:37.400 That is who the left is.

00:50:38.560 That is who the New York Times is.

00:50:40.080 This is what they believe.

00:50:41.100 And this is what they are standing on.

00:50:42.660 It's not going away.

00:50:43.940 They're not putting it away.

00:50:45.320 They're not packing the ideology away.

00:50:47.340 That's who these people are. 1.00

00:50:49.280 They are monsters. 1.00

00:50:51.140 They are gross. 1.00

00:50:51.900 And this is what they are fighting for with their little euphemisms. 0.99

00:50:55.260 These are lies that they are telling.

00:50:57.160 And they know it.

00:50:58.360 And they don't care.

00:50:59.500 They don't care about women. 0.98

00:51:00.580 They don't care about children. 0.54

00:51:02.040 They do not care.

00:51:03.420 They don't care who gets hurt. 0.94

00:51:04.540 They don't care who gets sexually assaulted. 0.99

00:51:06.280 They don't care.

00:51:08.980 But most, regardless of party, have a shared respect for their fellow citizens who put on a uniform, pick up a rifle, and travel around the world in defense of the nation. 0.98

00:51:17.540 And you don't give a crap about these people. 0.99

00:51:19.640 You hate the military. 0.99

00:51:20.920 You always have.

00:51:22.080 You certainly hated all the Trump supporters in the military.

00:51:25.400 You have been saying this for my entire life.

00:51:28.940 You did not suddenly discover respect for soldiers or patriotism.

00:51:33.660 You hate the military.

00:51:34.840 You hate the people who serve in it.

00:51:36.060 And you hate them mostly because they tend to agree with Republicans on this issue. 0.99

00:51:40.840 You hate them.

00:51:43.340 We know who you are.

00:51:44.940 We know who you are.

00:51:46.120 You can't lie to us now.

00:51:48.060 Mr. Trump's targeting of transgender Americans will go far beyond the military.

00:51:52.460 And his instinct for demoralization, his habit of dividing the public into those who are worthy of protection and those who should be cast aside.

00:51:59.700 Oh, you mean like when you constantly are attacking white people for existing?

00:52:03.740 When you say that they're not worthy of protection under the Civil Rights Act?

00:52:07.660 You mean like that?

00:52:09.120 His habitual cruelty to those who could be pushed around without others speaking up for them will go far beyond a campaign against this one small vulnerable group.

00:52:17.480 As these campaigns continue, Americans would do well to remember the hard-won lessons of history.

00:52:21.780 Yeah, the hard-won history lesson I learned here is that you trying to run this place like Weimar has bad consequences.

00:52:30.820 So maybe we just don't mutilate kids.

00:52:34.400 Maybe we just don't turn male criminals loose in female prisons. 1.00

00:52:39.780 Maybe we don't allow men to sexually assault women in bathrooms. 1.00

00:52:43.960 Maybe that's what we're going to do.

00:52:45.440 That's the history I'm going to pay attention to.

00:52:47.500 You can keep lying all you want.

00:52:48.780 All right, guys, let's go to the questions of the people here real quick. 0.98

00:52:58.880 Arthur says, transgender activism is the tar baby for the left. 0.97

00:53:04.060 They can't drop this issue. 0.72

00:53:05.780 This is to the advantage of the right. 0.95

00:53:07.640 The left have to continue defending this ridiculous stance and hence look more unhinged to reasonable people. 0.75

00:53:13.280 Yeah, this really is a huge problem for them, right? 0.97

00:53:15.760 They can't walk away from this.

00:53:18.020 They can't.

00:53:19.140 It's not even if they wanted to and some of them do, but they ultimately can't because they've created this issue.

00:53:25.740 They spent billions of dollars and all kinds of political capital burning this into the minds of their activist class and of the rest of the United States.

00:53:38.380 They made sure this issue went mainstream.

00:53:40.320 They went out of their way to inject it into everything.

00:53:43.940 You can't just walk away from this because they've already invested so much.

00:53:48.960 What are they going to say?

00:53:50.380 Oh, well, I guess we were just doing that for cynical reasons.

00:53:53.220 We're going to stop talking about it.

00:53:54.840 They could try to stop talking about it, but they've trained their entire activist class to bring it up relentlessly.

00:53:59.540 It's the New York Times.

00:54:00.940 This isn't this isn't Mother Jones.

00:54:03.880 This isn't some, you know, comical left wing outlet.

00:54:08.160 This is the biggest regime newspaper available.

00:54:12.660 And it's not some random guy that they got in here.

00:54:16.180 It's not some crazed activist that they put, you know, doing a solo op ed.

00:54:21.040 This is their opinion board.

00:54:23.080 This is their board who wrote this.

00:54:26.840 They can't walk away from it.

00:54:28.240 They can't.

00:54:28.900 There's just no way.

00:54:31.760 Cripper Weirdo says a nice day here in Turleyville.

00:54:34.680 Hey, Oren, how long are you planning to stay today?

00:54:37.640 Move out.

00:54:38.160 I hope not.

00:54:39.060 He he'd love it here.

00:54:41.180 Yeah.

00:54:41.460 Jonathan Turley, of course, the great Dr. Turley is quite the enthusiastic guy.

00:54:47.380 He is always talking about the positive aspects, quite the counterpoint to me, an academic agent, which are often counted as kind of the black pillars.

00:54:55.380 You know, we're people who are often focusing on the problems.

00:54:58.540 But yeah, there are a lot of wins happening.

00:55:00.920 It's a great time to be Mr. Turley.

00:55:05.260 He also says, can we get a It's My Democracy Now! t-shirt?

00:55:09.100 Or yeah, we get something.

00:55:11.360 I don't know.

00:55:11.980 Get like the Yes meme guy with the mustache, you know, doing the I am It's My Democracy Now! thing.

00:55:19.280 I don't know.

00:55:19.640 We'll have to think about that, how to do that properly.

00:55:21.880 Uh, let's see.

00:55:25.380 Ethan W. Monster says, do nothing, win.

00:55:29.260 I'm not exactly sure what the context of that was.

00:55:32.360 Sorry, I wish I had more to go on.

00:55:34.180 But thank you.

00:55:35.560 Maybe you can, you don't have to do a super chat again, but maybe you could clarify it in the comments real quick.

00:55:40.340 And I'll try to pick that up.

00:55:42.240 And then Florida Henry says, I guess I'm blackpilled, but 48% of the population voted for sexualizing children.

00:55:48.340 How is that possible?

00:55:50.080 Yeah, again, I think that that's pretty evil.

00:55:52.820 I think that you have to factor that in when you're making decisions.

00:55:56.260 Though ultimately, again, I'm not a huge fan of democracy.

00:55:58.920 Uh, and so I, I don't really think that that's representative, uh, of most people's opinion on that issue.

00:56:06.300 I think, unfortunately, it reveals a number of people are willing to sacrifice that issue for other things that they care about or they're allowed, they want to be socially acceptable.

00:56:14.920 And so they're, they're willing to kind of, uh, roll that in again, that doesn't speak well, but I kind of understand her mentality.

00:56:22.760 I understand the way that politics and public opinion actually works.

00:56:26.400 And so I'm a little, you know, while that's not great, it's just human nature and I don't take it too seriously, I suppose.

00:56:35.660 Uh, Han Pritcher says, uh, I am active duty and can confirm that the least competent people in my unit are the most outspoken lives.

00:56:43.240 Unfortunately, the normies seem to be siding with the libs on the DEI purge from what I've seen.

00:56:48.480 Uh, again, I don't think that's true of the, uh, of the normies in general.

00:56:53.060 I think that's true of the media.

00:56:55.060 Uh, but you know, you're in the military, you'd be more familiar with what's going on.

00:56:58.640 So I'm going to trust you on that.

00:56:59.800 But like you said, uh, my, from my experience, uh, every military person I have heard, uh, on this issue has said, yeah, I don't want it in my unit.

00:57:07.880 This is bad.

00:57:08.840 This, this hurts, uh, our ability to do our job and our job is extremely important.

00:57:13.240 Uh, and I just trust that way more than a random study from the RAND corporation about foreign militaries and whether or not people are effective inside of them.

00:57:22.240 Let me double check and see if, uh, he clarified that question real quick.

00:57:28.620 I don't see anything.

00:57:29.940 All right.
