00:00:30.860 The efforts of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to defend children from radical gender indoctrination
00:00:35.760 and horrific mutilation were described as sinful by Joe Biden during a recent interview with The Daily Show.
00:00:42.000 The incoherent octogenarian also seemed to announce a plan to strip the states of their ability to protect children
00:00:47.700 from the radical surgical mutilation referred to as transition through federal legislation.
00:00:53.620 Biden went on to explain to the interviewer that he first learned to respect gay marriage
00:00:57.720 after watching two gay men make out in the 1960s.
00:01:01.600 The president must have forgotten that lesson when he voted for the Defense of Marriage Act as a senator in 1996
00:01:06.940 and when he affirmed the definition of marriage as one man and one woman in an interview in 2006.
00:01:12.460 Calling Biden a liar can be difficult because the dementia is so severe.
00:01:17.720 But what the president's ramblings did reveal is the left's plan to ensure that no state has the ability to resist the assault on the innocence of children.
00:01:25.520 The president suggested that the right of surgeons to carve functioning organs off of perfectly healthy minors
00:01:31.780 should be secured in the same way that the right to gay marriage was secured, through federal legislation.
00:01:37.520 But of course, gay marriage was not made the law of the land because of a piece of legislation.
00:01:42.600 It didn't have the popular support needed to pass through the democratic process.
00:01:46.420 While the speed of the Cultural Revolution makes it easy to forget,
00:01:50.600 even in 2008, gay marriage was so unpopular that the radically liberal state of California banned it through a ballot proposition.
00:01:58.920 That proposition would later be overturned by a court,
00:02:01.840 prefiguring the top-down judicial fiat that would enshrine gay marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges.
00:02:07.920 Twelve Senate Republicans helped the left secure victory in December last year by passing the Respect for Marriage Act,
00:02:13.580 but the legislation only served as the post-hoc formalization of a culture war victory won in the courts long ago.
00:02:20.160 It's clear that the left will take the same route in the newest crusade of the Civil Rights Revolution,
00:02:25.240 the surgical transition of minors.
00:02:28.540 Conservatives have a general aversion to the idea of the government using state power to ban things.
00:02:34.180 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?
00:02:37.900 A well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper
00:02:43.060 and delivered to your door.
00:02:44.200 A well-marbled ribeye you ordered without even leaving the kiddie pool.

00:03:00.800 Instacart. Groceries that over-deliver.
00:03:03.700 The principles of limited government and individual liberty have become sacrosanct on the American right,
00:03:09.180 and the instinctual response is to be wary of state action.
00:03:12.280 But as the left amasses a nearly unbroken string of victories,
00:03:16.080 it's clear that prioritizing the acquisition of power has proved a far more effective strategy
00:03:20.560 than warning about the possibility of abuse due to its expansion.
00:03:24.680 The left secures power, then uses it to structure the system in a way that ensures
00:03:28.960 progressives never suffer the theoretical backlash that would follow with the swing of the democratic pendulum.
00:03:34.800 Progressives secure victory in the courts, use the shifting legal landscape and power of the media
00:03:39.820 to push their agenda into every corporation and public institution,
00:03:43.580 and then formalize the democratic consensus they manufactured through media and law.
00:03:48.600 Bewildered conservatives throw up their hands and wonder how popular opinion shifted so rapidly,
00:03:53.560 and the whole process starts over again with the next leftist point of attack. 0.73
00:03:57.440 The strategy has worked reliably for the left, but the idea of sexualizing and mutilating children
00:04:03.460 seems to have finally triggered the fight instinct in conservatives.
00:04:07.360 The protection of children has always been seen as a legitimate use of state power in America,
00:04:11.920 and conservatives seem willing to draw the line at direct attacks on their progeny.
00:04:16.660 Florida's ban on gender indoctrination is too mild,
00:04:19.720 only protecting children from grooming until fourth grade,
00:04:22.440 but it's still an important step in the right direction.
00:04:25.740 Many conservatives are waking up to the fact that progressives are not just good-faith actors
00:04:29.880 with a difference of opinion, and that the acquisition and exercise of power
00:04:33.820 are the only way to guard their children against the relentless attack of those who would do them harm.
00:04:39.780 While awareness of the need to legally protect children is rising on the right,
00:04:43.340 there are still mainstream conservatives hand-wringing about the mild measures
00:04:46.960 being put in place by states like Florida.
00:04:49.040 Just one day before Biden's interview, New York Times columnist David French
00:04:54.120 attacked Ron DeSantis' efforts to remove sexual indoctrination from elementary schools
00:04:58.720 and rescind special tax carve-outs for woke corporations like Disney.
00:05:03.640 French, a master of principled surrender in all fronts of the culture war,
00:05:07.280 also criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his efforts to stop child abuse
00:05:11.520 by ordering investigations into parents who intend to surgically mutilate
00:05:15.140 or chemically castrate their children.
00:05:17.180 The columnist has become famous for his ability to generate the conservative case 0.69
00:05:22.140 for whatever insane evil the left is seeking to advance.
00:05:25.800 He seems to have done so once again, citing the ability of children and parents to consent to mutilation.
00:05:32.400 French seems to have discovered the constitutional right for parents
00:05:35.260 to pay someone to chop the breasts off of their daughters and chemically castrate their sons 0.98
00:05:39.400 just in time for the next progressive social crusade. 0.97
00:05:42.240 How incredibly convenient for the forces of conservative surrender that James Madison
00:05:47.200 enshrined that particular blessing of liberty.
00:05:50.660 French predictably found a way to acquiesce to power on gay marriage, 0.91
00:05:54.560 abandoning his opposition in 2022.
00:05:57.760 He says that he still opposes sex changes for minors,
00:06:00.640 but attacks any form of legal protection for those who would be victimized by this barbaric practice.
00:06:05.720 The fact that Biden spoke the very next day about his intentions to strip states of their right
00:06:12.140 to protect children only underscores the total failure of French 1.00
00:06:15.840 and the brand of conservatism that he represents.
00:06:18.980 It's an ideological disposition that refuses to admit that the conflict of moral visions at play
00:06:24.280 is existential and cannot be mediated by a neutral government arbiter.
00:06:29.380 Individual states and parents will not be left alone to make their own decisions on this matter.
00:06:34.320 Progressives will strip away every protection, fight in every venue,
00:06:39.460 avail themselves of every possible lever of both public and private control
00:06:43.580 until their agenda is implemented.
00:06:46.820 The thing that conservatives must learn,
00:06:49.800 the lesson that is absolutely essential in the days that we live in,
00:06:53.720 is that the side who wants to win will always beat the side that just wants to be left alone.
00:06:59.040 And progressives are willing to win at any cost.
00:07:01.840 On Monday, a group called Florida Equity held a protest outside the state's capitol building
00:07:08.440 in opposition to a bill that would protect children from sex reassignment prescriptions and surgeries.
00:07:14.600 One of the speakers at the event stood at a lectern
00:07:17.300 and told the crowd that the Florida legislature was erasing our trans babies.
00:07:22.500 The left will only become more radical and fervent in their attacks on children,
00:07:28.800 and they will not be restrained by any theoretical commitment to limited government,
00:07:33.200 federalism, or the democratic process.
00:07:36.300 A conservatism that is unwilling to acquire and exercise power
00:07:40.460 in order to protect the lives and well-being of the children victimized by this utter 0.83
00:07:45.260 madness is worse than useless
00:07:47.420 and must be left in the dustbin of history where it belongs.
