A 16-year-old girl who called herself gender non-binary died in an altercation in a girls' bathroom at a public high school in Oklahoma, and the media jumped to the conclusion that it was the work of someone named Chaya Raychick. This is the latest in a series of cases where the media seized on a story and tried to pin the death on someone other than Chaya, and then blamed it on someone else. It's a new religion in the United States: secular, leftist religion demands that you not look at facts, instead, you just look at the narrative presented and then believe it. The media loves seizing on particular stories that they believe and then ignoring all of the facts of that story in order to achieve the narrative. And when a girl dies in disputed circumstances, they try to blame Chaya for this, because she's a "sto-chastic terrorist." This is a term that means nothing, and it's a term in which they suggest that without incitement, she is in fact responsible for inciting violence against people who might be doing something they don't want them to do. And so they use her as a prop to push their agenda and make her the scapegoat, even though she hasn't even been charged with a crime. yet they still blame her for the death of a young girl who died in a girl who was, in fact, a victim of her own crimes. And they still make her a scapegoat. This week's special guest is a TikTok user named Chayah Raychik, who is the TikTok's Chayak, who has been accused of being a "terrorist." by the media of making threats against the state of Oklahoma. and has been called a "suspect for her own death. in the media coverage of a bomb threat at a hospital bomb threat against a hospital. And she's also accused of and she's got a blog post about it, too. . And so she's target number 1, and target number 2 is a law that says you have to go to the bathroom at school if you're a girl just because you re a girl. And if you want to be a girl, you can't walk into the bathroom in the bathroom as a girl because she s a girl and start using urinal, you gotta go into the girl s bathroom, right? And so the media decided that this would be like that?
00:00:31.000It has positive externalities, intersectionality, same sort of thing.
00:00:33.000These are narratives and the narratives must be believed.
00:00:36.000The media loves seizing on particular stories that they believe drive the narrative and then ignoring all of the facts of that story in order to achieve the narrative.
00:00:43.000Today's latest example comes courtesy of a terrible story out of Oklahoma in which a 16-year-old girl who called herself gender non-binary died.
00:00:56.000And apparently, according to the media, she collapsed the day after an altercation in a girls' bathroom at a public high school.
00:01:02.000So she was gender non-binary, self-declared, and we here on the show actually label people by their biological sex, but this confused teenager died in tragic circumstances, but we don't actually know how this person died.
00:01:14.000The one thing that we do know, according to the autopsy now, is that this person was not actually murdered in the bathroom.
00:01:20.000The original report out of this Oklahoma school is that this person had an altercation in a girls bathroom with other girls,
00:01:26.000and then was effectively beaten to death, or at least injured so badly that she then ended up dying
00:01:31.000the next day. And the media ran with this story. Not only did they run with the story, they used this
00:01:36.000story as a prop in order to push against two particular political elements.
00:01:41.000One is Khaya Raychik, our friends over at Libs of TikTok, whose great sin in the modern political world has been to take clips of the left doing things and expose them to broader public view.
00:01:53.000To just watch what people are doing on TikTok and then say, well, you know, here's what they're doing.
00:02:01.000It's the fact that people are doing something publicly, wanting attention, and then she gives them attention, but from people who don't necessarily all provide a warm round of applause for all the insanity going on at TikTok.
00:02:13.000So, Khaya Raychick is a person who is on the statewide library advisory board for the state of Oklahoma.
00:02:22.000And so this means the media are now going to try to pin the death of this person This young lady next Benedict, they're trying to blame this person's death on Chaya because they've been trying to blame pretty much everything on Chaya for the last couple of years.
00:02:38.000If there's a bomb threat at a hospital that provides quote-unquote gender confirming care, which would be sex change care, when there's a bomb threat against one of those hospitals, after Chaya reveals what exactly they do at the hospital, they blame it on Chaya.
00:02:52.000When a girl dies in disputed circumstances.
00:02:57.000In Oklahoma high school they try to blame Chaya for this and the basic idea is that she's a quote-unquote stochastic terrorist.
00:03:02.000This is a term that they've been using for Chaya for the last couple of years.
00:03:47.000It was national news when Nexit Benedict died.
00:03:49.000Now, there are lots of people who die across the country every day in the United States, and many of them are clearly murdered.
00:03:55.000We're not talking under disputed circumstances.
00:03:57.000We are talking literally every day in the United States, many, many people are murdered.
00:04:00.000By the way, disproportionately, People of color, minorities, young black males murdered disproportionately pretty much every day in the United States gets zero media coverage because that would not promote the narrative that the left wishes to promote.
00:04:14.000Which is, of course, that pretty much everything in the United States is a result of American racism, because it turns out that the vast majority of those people who are being killed are also being killed by other young black males.

00:05:35.000So Teen Vogue, which has suddenly become a source of information, they pushed a piece saying quote
00:05:40.000on February 8th, Next, who identified within the two-spirit transgender and gender non-conforming
00:05:44.000umbrella was declared dead at the hospital after being beaten by three girl classmates
00:05:50.000in the bathroom of a Wassell High School on February 7th.
00:05:53.000Now LGBTQ plus Oklahomans are mourning the loss of a straight-A student, a Minecraft fan, an animal lover, a teenager in a school district previously targeted by Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raychick.
00:06:02.000Raychick now sits on the statewide library advisory board.
00:06:04.000In 2023, Oklahoma censured the state's only non-binary representative.
00:06:08.000Not to mention signing into law a bill forcing public school students to use the bathroom associated with their gender assigned at birth.
00:06:14.000Advocates are currently closely watching several anti-trans pieces of legislation.
00:06:19.000Before Benedict's name was made public, a source who claimed to be the mother of Benedict's best friend told a local outlet the cause of death was, quote, complications from brain trauma and that three older girls were beating the victim and her daughter in the girls' bathroom.
00:06:31.000We're not linking because the story uses Benedict's dead name.
00:06:35.000According to Freedom Oklahoma, it's not presently clear which pronouns Benedict used, so this story will refrain from using any pronouns at all for an ex.
00:06:41.000Because, again, the media are not interested in reporting actual facts.
00:06:44.000If you read these stories, you have no idea if this person is a biological girl or if this person is a biological boy, by the way.
00:06:51.000But, again, obscuring information is what the media are now typically good for.
00:06:57.000According to Teen Vogue, the anonymous source also alleged Benedict couldn't walk to the nurse's station without assistance and that the school did not call an ambulance, while the school claims they were unaware of the fight until informed by a parent.
00:07:08.000Tex allegedly sent by next after the fight to a family member began quite I got jumped at school three on one had
00:07:14.000They'd been bullying me and my friends. I got tired of it So I poured some water on them and all three came after me
00:07:18.000school did not report to the police and is probably getting sued
00:07:21.000Benedict's grandmother sue who also adopted next brought next to the hospital after the fight then home again
00:07:27.000The next day, Nex was brought back to the hospital and was pronounced dead.
00:07:30.000Sue told The Independent Nex was suspended for two weeks from school on the day of the fight.
00:07:33.000Sue also mentioned that Nex had been bullied throughout the school year.
00:07:36.000Okay, so, everybody on the left ran with this story.
00:07:40.000This was front page news across the country.
00:07:42.000And then, as it turns out, this person may not have died as a result of the actual beating.
00:07:53.000Apparently, according to the autopsy, the autopsy suggested the opposite.
00:08:01.000According to USA Today, as police continued Thursday to probe the death of the Oklahoma teen, authorities announced a preliminary autopsy showed the student's death was not the result of trauma.
00:08:11.000They've not yet released the results of a toxicology report.
00:08:14.000So we have no information on whether drugs were involved or anything else.
00:08:17.000What we do know is that the autopsy does not attribute this to trauma.
00:08:22.000The story already has legs and it's already running.
00:08:25.000Because this is the way our legacy media work.
00:08:28.000So this becomes just another hate crime against a person who apparently was involved in kind of an ongoing altercation with these other girls, pouring water on them.
00:08:44.000The attempt of the media, however, to turn this into a weapon against the basic idea that sex exists or against legislation suggesting that girls should be protected from boys in the girls' bathroom.
00:08:58.000By the way, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Oklahoma law that says that girls should go to the girls' bathroom is responsible for this.
00:09:03.000Is there evidence that she would have been much better off if she had started using the boys' bathroom at this Oklahoma school?
00:09:11.000One thing that is clear, by the way, is that actually, the news story, assuming this is Teen Vogue, that went viral after Nex's death included allegation that teachers failed to summon medical care and that Nex was so badly injured in the fight that she couldn't walk on her own.
00:09:25.000Police and school officials both said those claims were false.
00:09:29.000In a statement on Facebook, the Owasso Police Department said each student involved in the fight, quote, walked under their own power to the assistant principal's office and the nurse's office after it was broken up, and a registered nurse then assessed the health of each student involved in the fight.
00:09:43.000She determined ambulance service was not required, but recommended the next visit a medical facility for further examination, and next did go to a hospital that afternoon.
00:09:56.000How many race stories about supposed systemic American racism by police have turned out to be just lies?
00:10:03.000Whether it is Michael Brown, whether it is Trayvon Martin, the suggestion of which was that he was beaten to death randomly by a white Hispanic, Whether it is the hands-up-don't-shoot narrative of Michael Brown.
00:10:15.000Whether it is the George Floyd supposed racial killing that provided zero evidence whatsoever that anything that happened was motivated by race.
00:10:25.000Like literally zero evidence was even alleged or presented in court in that case.
00:10:29.000Beyond which, it's pretty obvious that George Floyd died of medical complications and that he didn't actually die because of the mishandling by Derek Chauvin by autopsy reports.
00:10:41.000Once the narrative is set, the narrative is set.
00:10:43.000This goes all the way back to Matthew Shepard, which was the chief case used by the gay rights movement all the way back in 1998.
00:10:50.000There's an entire play called The Literary Project that was based on the death of Matthew Shepard, and it was supposedly about this innocent-hearted gay young man in Wyoming who was beat to death by a couple of assailants, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson.
00:11:07.000Who pistol whipped him with a gun and tied him to a fence in freezing conditions and set him on fire.
00:11:14.000I remember, because I was in school at the time, I remember when this broke nationally.
00:11:18.000And this story was treated as, like, the evidence that America was a deeply homophobic, awful place for gay people and Matthew Shepard was, like, case 1A.
00:11:26.000And then, as it turns out, virtually everything you knew about the case was a lie.
00:11:30.000It turns out that according to A journalist named Stephen Jimenez, who conducted 13 years interviewing more than 100 people with a connection to the case, the actual story of the Matthew Shepard death had nothing to do with him being gay.
00:11:44.000In fact, Jimenez found that Shepard was addicted to, this is according to The Guardian, and dealing crystal meth and had dabbled in heroin.
00:11:50.000He took significant sexual risks and was pimped alongside Aaron McKinney, who was one of his killers, with whom he'd had occasional sexual encounters.
00:11:57.000He was HIV positive at the time of his death.
00:11:59.000Jimenez says this does not make the perfect poster boy for the gay rights movement.
00:12:03.000Matthew's drug abuse and the fact that he knew one of the killers prior to the attack was never explored in court.
00:12:07.000Neither was the rumor that the killers knew he had access to a shipment of crystal meth with a street value of 10 grand, which they wanted to steal.
00:12:15.000So, but by the way, Laramie is considered the most liberal town in Wyoming.
00:12:20.000Employment is dominated by the University of Wyoming.
00:12:24.000So they just decided they weren't going to, you know, actually Pay attention to the story.
00:12:30.000And this is how the media run their grift.
00:12:32.000The media is populated by people on the far left.
00:12:36.000Those people on the far left have a story they want to tell about the way that the world works.
00:12:39.000And if the evidence does not line up with the story, they just ignore the evidence.
00:12:42.000And they tell the story that they want to tell in pursuit of the ends they want to pursue.
00:12:46.000We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:12:48.000First, are you tired of feeling sluggish, run down, just not your best self?
00:12:51.000Take control of your health and vitality with Balance of Nature.

00:13:45.000Now the problem with this particular perspective is that the results of it are truly bad.
00:13:50.000Because when you lie about how stories actually go down, when you lie about the evidence, you end up making bad policy.
00:13:56.000When you end up ignoring reality in favor of a narrative you wish to tell about the world, you end up running directly up against reality.
00:14:04.000And this is true pretty much everywhere.
00:14:06.000This is why yesterday when we were discussing Google Gemini, And the morons who decided the policymaking for Google Gemini put in a bunch of parameters that basically banned white males from being generated under any circumstances.
00:14:18.000So you end up with people typing in founding father and coming up with black female George Washington or type in draw me the Pope and you end up with an Indian woman.
00:14:28.000The people who did that run up directly against reality.
00:14:31.000Now the danger is they can try to change reality.
00:15:12.000And now, because everything moves so quickly, reality is winning faster than ever.
00:15:16.000And this is scaring the left, which is why, like Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars, they're trying to grip galaxies that they cannot hold.
00:15:27.000They are trying to grip tighter and tighter.
00:15:28.000The censorship regime is getting tighter and tighter because as reality gets away from them, they have to try to exert more and more control, but it's not going to work.
00:15:36.000You're seeing that most clearly with regard to what's happening in our colleges.
00:15:41.000So I mentioned this briefly yesterday, but it actually is a quite amazing story.
00:15:44.000Yale, according to Axios, is the latest elite university to reverse its pandemic-era test optional policy and will now again require standardized test scores to apply.
00:15:56.000Well because it turns out that counter to the idiotic narrative that your life experiences are a better predictor of your actual success than you know a basic IQ test which is essentially what the SAT or the ACT is.
00:16:11.000So the correlation, as it turns out, between SAT and ACQ results and future student success is actually better than all of the things that they've been saying are going to be predictive.
00:16:20.000Like, you know, these student essays about your victimized childhood.
00:16:26.000Yale said on Thursday it would resume requiring test scores of all applicants, expanding from the SAT and ACT to also include AP and IB exam results.
00:16:33.000Dartmouth has now done the same thing.
00:16:36.000At Brown, Brown is the most liberal of all these schools.
00:16:38.000I've been to virtually all the IBs at this point, spoken at most of them, and I gotta tell you, Brown is just ridiculous.
00:16:44.000Brown is developing a committee to create recommendations on standardizing testing, legacy admissions, and early decision.
00:16:54.000Other schools like Harvard, Cornell, and Princeton are announcing extensions on test-optional policies.
00:17:17.000The idea of college as a sort of intellectual breeding ground for good Western citizens who actually know their ABCs That's gone away.
00:17:25.000You are not made a better citizen by college.
00:17:26.000In fact, very good case you are made a significantly worse citizen by college.
00:17:31.000Because college has now become about the college experience, which mainly is screwing and drinking and doing pot now.
00:17:37.000And your son's away from your parents to go do all of that.
00:17:39.000And that's what people mean when they say the college experience.
00:17:41.000They don't mean exchanging different ideas with diverse groups of people because that's not allowed on college campuses anymore.
00:17:47.000They mean the sex, the alcohol, and the drugs, effectively.
00:17:51.000And being induced into a very left-wing view of the United States and the world.
00:17:56.000Okay, but what were these universities good for if they weren't teaching life skills and if they weren't making you a better citizen and if they weren't making you smarter or anything like that?
00:18:18.000For the same reasons that all these universities tried and failed to actually get rid of the ACT and SAT.
00:18:24.000It turns out that whatever IQ tests were being used by employers were deemed discriminatory because not enough people of color were doing well on them.
00:18:32.000So the Supreme Court simply said that you could not use them for employment.
00:18:36.000That they were a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
00:18:39.000And well, colleges found a way around that by creating these quasi IQ tests, which are the SAT and the ACT.
00:18:48.000And the reason that the credential meant something is because that was the only way that employers could tell if you were smart or not.
00:18:53.000They couldn't tell by your grades in school because you might have gone to a crappy school and getting an A at a crappy school ain't that hard.
00:18:59.000But they could tell by looking at which college you went to.
00:19:03.000Because the colleges were sorting you.
00:19:05.000If you went to Harvard, there was a 99.99% shot that you were a smarter person than a person who went to the local JUCO.
00:19:12.000But what happens when Harvard gets rid of its admission standards?
00:19:15.000Then its credential is no longer worth anything.
00:19:54.000And remember, the college degree and the nature of the place where you get the college degree has become more important over time as more and more people have entered college.
00:20:03.000So it used to be that just having a college degree alone acted as a sort of imprimatur of IQ.
00:20:09.000Because there was a time in American history where not all that many people went to college, where the vast majority of people could get a job out of high school.
00:20:14.000And then the federal government, in all of its wisdom, decided that because people who went to college earned more money, everyone needed to go to college, which is a tremendous logical leap.
00:20:28.000The reason that people who went to college earned more than people who went to high school is because, again, that was a sorting mechanism.
00:20:43.000But it turns out that you water down the system, even the Ivy Leagues don't mean enough.
00:20:46.000So now you have to get a post-grad degree.
00:20:48.000We'll get to more on this in one second.
00:20:49.000First, folks, I gotta tell you, I am exhausted because my little three-year-old last night decided to get us all up at 3 a.m., which means that right now I am fueled on Rage and Black Rifle Coffee.
00:21:00.000If you haven't tried Black Rifle Coffee yet, now is the perfect time to do so.
00:21:02.000Right now, you can get 20% off your first order with promo code SHAPIRO at BlackRifleCoffee.com.
00:21:07.000You'll see why they are becoming one of the most popular coffee companies in the country.
00:21:11.000Black Rifle Coffee is veteran-founded and veteran-run.
00:21:13.000They take pride in serving coffee and culture to people who love the country.
00:21:16.000When you shop with Black Rifle Coffee, your money goes a long way toward giving back to those who serve our nation.
00:21:21.000Every purchase you make helps fuel their mission to support veterans and first responders.
00:21:24.000This includes everything from getting much-needed equipment to first responders to helping veterans fight cancer and more.
00:21:29.000Plus, Black Rifle Coffee just announced a massive new partnership with UFC, which they kicked off with a huge donation to the Hunter 7 Foundation.
00:21:36.000Black Rifle Coffee sources exotic growths from award-winning farms worldwide.
00:21:50.000It means simultaneously over time, more and more people have gone to college.
00:21:53.000And also it means, unsurprisingly, that according to the Wall Street Journal, half of all college grads are working jobs that do not use their degrees.
00:22:01.000We've created an entire scam credentialing system rooted in a bunch of bad evidence and bad data.
00:22:08.000Things like IQ tests don't matter, or SATs and ACTs don't matter, or everyone should go to college no matter their intelligence level.
00:22:16.000All these things are not just propositions without evidence, they are propositions to which there is tremendous evidence to the contrary.
00:22:31.000But Democrats, again, have an interest.
00:22:33.000People on the left have an interest in preserving the narrative, which is why you have Joe Biden trying to now force everyone in the United States to subsidize the lesbian dance theory majors of people who got $1,200 on their SAT.
00:23:40.000According to Axios, one of America's most powerful labor unions has now reported its first major donation to Republicans in two decades after meeting with former President Trump last month.
00:23:50.000The Teamsters gave a $45,000 donation to the RNC's convention fund, per the FEC report.
00:23:57.000The reported contribution is not an endorsement, but it's a powerful statement from a union that has supported every Democratic presidential candidate since Al Gore.
00:24:05.000It represents the Teamsters' first big donation to the RNC since 2004.
00:24:08.000Because the Democratic Party is built around people who want these narratives, around people who benefit from these narratives, around white college-educated liberals, and around people who are interested in being told that failure in American society is a result of American racism and discrimination.
00:24:23.000That is the entire Democratic coalition.
00:24:28.000You know, people who work really hard every day and maybe don't have that college degree are working their ass off to get you the stuff you need across the country every single day.
00:24:36.000Maybe they're not enamored or enchanted by the nonsense that is being pushed on college campuses and now imbibed wholesale by the media and promulgated wholesale by the government.
00:24:51.000And that's true whether you're talking about economics, whether you're talking about bathroom policy, reality is always very, very likely to win.
00:24:58.000By the way, where is America's true growth going to happen?
00:25:03.000What's going to end up breaking the college system in the end is going to be tech.
00:25:07.000Not the tech bros who are designing the Google AI, but the ones who aren't, the ones who actually care about data.
00:25:14.000Right now, the greatest advantage the United States holds is in innovation.
00:25:21.000This is why the American semiconductor maker NVIDIA is now valuated at two trillion dollars.
00:25:33.000Those are being manufactured by TSMC over in Taiwan.
00:25:36.000Just another reason why the United States has an interest in a muscular foreign policy.
00:25:40.000Because for all those people who believe that foreign policy doesn't affect American policy, if China takes Taiwan and Taiwan is forced to either destroy its microchips or turn them over to the Chinese government, things are about to get very hairy for a lot of Americans directly and in terms of American companies.
00:25:56.000In any case, NVIDIA has reported skyrocketing revenues and profits from selling chips powering artificial intelligence.

00:27:04.000Okay, meanwhile, over in the United Kingdom, we are seeing the wages of mass migration And multiculturalism.
00:27:11.000So approximately 15% of the entire population of London is now Muslim.
00:27:17.000That's 6.5% of the population of all of the UK is Muslim.
00:27:22.000That means that the Muslim population of the UK has risen 44% in one decade alone, according to arabnews.com.
00:27:31.000The second most common ethnic group in the UK is now Asian, Asian British, or Asian Welsh, making up 9.3% of the population.
00:27:40.000That the category Asian includes Muslims in the UK.
00:27:44.000They count them as South Asian very often if they're from Pakistan, for example.
00:27:50.000London is now two-thirds ethnic minority.
00:27:52.000Other major cities like Leicester, Luton, and Birmingham have become home to minority majorities driven by significant increases in Asian communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and East Africa.
00:28:19.000And when you imbibe deep from that lie and that myth, what you end up doing is destroying your own civilization.
00:28:24.000And we saw that break out into the open over the course of the last few days in London's House of Commons.
00:28:31.000So just to set the stage, There has been a mass uptick in incidents of Islamic terrorism over the course of the last decade and a half in London.
00:28:40.000That ranges from the attack on Stephen Timms, who was a politician in Britain.
00:29:04.000Conservative MP for South End West named Sir David Amos was actually murdered after being stabbed 20 times by an ISIS fanatic.
00:29:14.000Members of Parliament being attacked, so much so, that just a couple of weeks ago, according to National Review, a Tory Member of Parliament who represents a largely Jewish constituency announced his resignation Thursday after receiving a barrage of death threats following his support for Israel and condemnation of anti-Semitism in the UK.
00:29:31.000After serving more than 30 years in public office, MP Mike Freer, who represents Finchley and Golders Green, Golders Green is the most Orthodox Jewish area of London, said he is not pursuing the seat again as a Conservative Party candidate in the next general election.
00:29:52.000I think there comes a point when the threats to your personal safety become too much and also too much for our spouses and our family.
00:30:00.000And, you know, we can't do this job without the support of our spouses and family.
00:30:05.000And so too many incidents, some of them a lot of low level, which all MPs cope with.
00:30:10.000and two or three very serious ones which you know threatened my personal safety so at some
00:30:15.000point you have to say enough. And what sort of threats have you had? Well obviously I had run
00:30:22.000into Muslims against Crusades who had a very unsubtle threat about coming to stab me. Then
00:30:29.000of course Ali Habibi Ali who then went on to kill David Amos came to Finchley before he went on to
00:30:38.000And then, recently, the arson attack in my office.
00:30:41.000So, you know, those are the most serious ones.
00:30:43.000But, you know, when you come out of your house and find notes left on your car, or mock Molotov cocktails on the office steps, followed round Brent Cross Shopping Centre where someone's shouting, you're useless, you're useless.
00:30:56.000It all adds up to saying there must be a better way to live.
00:31:02.000Don't worry, it's just multiculturalism on the advice of police.
00:31:05.000Freer and his team have been wearing stab vests when out in public with constituents.
00:31:10.000They literally wear round vests so that if they are stabbed, they won't die.
00:31:14.000Meanwhile, you have the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who's a radical on his own.
00:31:19.000Who was calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as of October 27th, 2023.
00:31:22.000We're not talking about like now when we are in late February.
00:31:26.000It's dumb enough to call for a ceasefire now when Israel is on the verge of victory over Hamas.
00:31:30.000But he was calling for a ceasefire in Gaza literally one week after Israel started its aerial attacks in Gaza.
00:31:37.000And about two weeks after the actual murder of 1,200 Jews inside Israel, and while 240 hostages were still being held in the Gaza Strip, here was Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London.
00:31:47.000Remember, the wages of multiculturalism are quite real.
00:31:50.000Here was the mayor of London, this is back in October of 2023.
00:31:52.000This is all predicate to what happened over the course of the last week.
00:31:56.000The terrible situation in Gaza now looks set to deteriorate even further.
00:32:03.000Thousands of innocent civilians, men, women and children have already been killed and it's becoming impossible for aid to reach the people who desperately need it.
00:32:18.000Substantial military escalation is now likely, which will only deepen the humanitarian disaster.
00:32:27.000Sadiq Khan, of course, has been a very anti-Israel force since he entered office as London's mayor.
00:32:35.000The Labour Party has been riffed, like the Democratic Party in the United States, between the wild anti-Semitism of Jeremy Corbyn and the sort of more moderate left-wingism of Keir Starmer, who is the new Labour leader.
00:32:46.000Corbyn was ousted after failing dramatically in his last electoral attempt.
00:32:50.000Well, Keir Starmer has now been forced into taking the left-wing position with regard to a ceasefire.
00:32:55.000So earlier this week, because of pressure on his left, he called for a permanent ceasefire.
00:33:01.000An end to the fighting, not just now, not just for a pause, but permanently.
00:33:32.000So yesterday and over the course of the last week, there's been heavy, heavy pressure on the UK Parliament to adopt some sort of resolution condemning Israel for defending itself in Gaza.
00:33:43.000And this has amounted to members of Parliament being threatened.
00:33:45.000Here's some tape of a member of parliament being chased down by a mob.
00:34:05.000Members of the police being taunted, and all the rest.
00:34:10.000Multiculturalism, it's working out amazingly well in the UK, just beautifully well in the UK.
00:34:15.000Meanwhile, genocidal slogans were being projected on Big Ben during the debate in Parliament over whether to condemn Israel for defending itself.
00:34:28.000By the way, the UK does not have the same sort of free speech regulations that the United States has.
00:34:33.000There's no First Amendment in the UK, so they do have hate speech regulations that if they are to apply, ought to apply equally.
00:34:38.000They literally projected on Big Ben, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, which is a genocidal anti-Jewish slogan, as everyone knows at this point.
00:34:47.000Naturally, because the Met police are scared stiff, of the radical Islamic population of their own city,
00:34:53.000they put out a statement, quote, this is a chant that has been frequently heard
00:34:55.000at pro-Palestinian demonstrations for many years.
00:34:57.000We are very aware of the strength of feeling in relation to it.
00:35:00.000While there are scenarios where chanting or using these words could be unlawful,
00:35:02.000depending on the specific location or context, it's used in a wider public protest setting,
00:35:06.000such as last night, is not a criminal offense.
00:35:09.000Weird, because if anyone called for the full-scale obliteration of Pakistan,
00:35:14.000which was established in the same one and a half year period
00:35:16.000as Israel, I have doubts that that would be okay.

00:36:00.000So all of this broke out into the open in the UK Parliament the other day.
00:36:04.000Just a few days ago, the Speaker of the House of Commons, who's a former member of the Labour Party, allowed for a bunch of amendments.
00:36:12.000So basically, there were three separate ceasefire motions that were put out in the House of Commons.
00:36:18.000None of them were binding on the government.
00:36:19.000The first came from the Conservative Party.
00:36:21.000It called for an immediate ceasefire only under circumstances in which Hamas freed all Israeli hostages and relinquished control of Gaza, which, by the way, Israel would support.
00:36:30.000The second was put forward by the SNP.
00:36:32.000The SNP is the Scottish National Party.
00:36:35.000They are far left, and they've been urging an immediate ceasefire, and they included in their resolution a condemnation to, quote, an end to the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, which is full-scale Hamas language.
00:36:46.000And this was a very uncomfortable position for Labor.
00:36:48.000Labor, again, is split between people who are not wildly anti-Israel and people who really hate Jews.
00:36:54.000And because of that, the Labor House of Commons speaker decided to allow, illegally, like against procedure, an amendment from the Labor Party that effectively called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire without mentioning the collective punishment nonsense from the SNP.
00:37:12.000According to the Times of Israel, the move helped labor leader Keir Starmer, who avoided another major rebellion among his lawmakers on the war thanks to his proposal of getting a vote.
00:37:19.000That meant labor members of parliament could vote on their party's plan and would not have to defy leadership by voting in support of the SNP's amendment.
00:37:26.000And this, of course, broke out into the open.
00:37:30.000So the Speaker of the House, Lindsey Hoyle, was immediately accused of trying to help out labor, which is the opposition party, right now.
00:37:37.000And then he explained why he really did it.
00:37:38.000And he says he didn't do it because he was trying to help out labor.
00:37:41.000He says that he did this because he didn't want there to be a terrorist attack
00:39:25.000So the Speaker of the House of Commons is admitting that he is changing parliamentary procedure because he is afraid that members of Parliament will be attacked and killed.
00:39:32.000And there's only one side in London that is doing the attacking and the killing right now, and it ain't the Jews.
00:39:38.000The fact is that, of course, you have seen the massive protests.
00:39:52.000And these giant protests that you've seen, 300, 400,000 people in the streets protesting on behalf of Hamas, that is why the House of Commons is now running like a preserve of fearful... I mean, look at the size of these protests.
00:40:38.000A Jewish MP named Andrew Percy talked about the intimidation of members of Parliament.
00:40:43.000If we have a rerun of the debate we had yesterday, we will have exactly the same thing happen again, which is that members will not vote with their hearts because they are frightened and they are scared.
00:40:56.000For months I've been standing up here We're talking about the people on our streets demanding death to Jews, demanding jihad, demanding intifadas, as the police stand by and allow that to happen.
00:41:07.000Last night, a genocidal call for, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, was projected onto this building.
00:41:15.000That message says no Jew is welcome in the state of Israel or in that land.
00:41:21.000This is going to continue happening because we're not dealing with it.
00:41:24.000So if we have a rerun of this, can the leader explain to me what will be any different and how will members vote with their hearts and their consciences?
00:41:32.000Because too many will not at the moment because of the threats we're receiving.
00:41:36.000Threats that are telling us to leave this country in some of our cases and telling us that they want us or our families to be subjected to pain and to death.
00:41:44.000This is what happens in a country that has completely lost its way.
00:41:47.000And the United States can lose its way in the same exact form and fashion.
00:41:51.000When you decide to ignore reality, this is what happens to you, too, as a country.
00:41:56.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden has now escalated sanctions on more than 500 Russian targets.
00:42:01.000This comes amidst the reports of the murder of Alexei Navalny.
00:42:05.000I'm going to assume it's a murder because, I mean, that's pretty much obviously the case.
00:42:09.000So, in any case, Joe Biden yesterday met with the widow of Alexei Navalny.
00:42:16.000He said, Today I met with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya, Alexei Navalny's loved ones, to express my condolences for their devastating loss.
00:42:23.000Alexei's legacy of courage will live on in Yulia and Dasha and the countless people across Russia fighting for democracy and human rights.
00:42:29.000Afterward, by the way, he then walked out to a car that was to take him to a different location and proceeded to call her Yolanda.
00:42:55.000Off script, off camera, and amongst friends, Democratic supporters and donors, is where President Biden appears most comfortable leveling some of his sharpest and most direct attacks.
00:43:05.000Speaking at a fundraising event in San Francisco last night, the president took aim at several of his adversaries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.
00:43:13.000Quote, we have a crazy SOB, that guy Putin, and others, and we always have to be worried about a nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate, he said.
00:44:04.000Obviously, the speculation is that it's a psy-op, essentially, that he's reversing himself, that really he wants Trump, is what the media want to say, that he really, really wants Trump, and that he is saying Biden, specifically, so that people will vote against Biden, thinking that he is working with Biden.
00:44:18.000Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is that the Biden administration has slow-walked aid to Ukraine in the beginning, made absolutely unclear what America's interests are in Ukraine in the first place, which has undermined A lot of American support for Ukraine in the first place.
00:44:30.000Meanwhile, the President unleashed some new sanctions yesterday.
00:44:36.000Apparently, they're set to be rolled out by the Treasury and State Departments in full today.
00:44:40.000They come after the White House signaled that they were preparing major penalties after the recent death of Navalny in a Russian prison.
00:44:45.000This is according to the New York Times.
00:44:48.000The US has been closely coordinating with Europe in its efforts to cut Russia off from the global economy.
00:44:52.000This week, the EU unveiled its 13th tranche of sanctions on Russia, banning nearly 200 people and entities that have been helping Russia procure weapons from traveling or doing business within the bloc.
00:45:00.000Now listen, if Biden wanted to do more than this, he certainly could.
00:45:03.000He could be pushing secondary sanctions on major companies that are doing business with the Russians.
00:45:07.000He could be trying to put pressure on the Chinese and the Iranians.
00:45:11.000Unfortunately, he's doing none of those things.
00:45:13.000So again, lack of clarity on policy from the President of the United States.
00:45:17.000And this, of course, is leading people to think that there is no plan.
00:45:21.000Because there kind of isn't, according to Joe Biden.
00:45:25.000According to the same New York Times that has been stumping consistently for support for the war in Ukraine, quote, The President of Brazil says Ukraine and Russia are both to blame for the war that began with Russia's military invasion.
00:45:41.000His nation's purchases of Russian energy and fertilizer have soared, pumping billions of dollars into the Russian economy.
00:45:47.000And as we noted yesterday, the Secretary of State went to hang out with Lula and praise him literally yesterday.
00:45:55.000Two years after the beginning of the war, according to the New York Times, Putin is not nearly as isolated as U.S.
00:46:00.000Russia's inherent strength, rooted in its vast supplies of oil and natural gas, has powered a financial and political resilience that threatens to outlast Western opposition.
00:46:07.000In parts of Asia, Africa, and South America, his influence is as strong as ever or even growing.
00:46:12.000His grip on power at home appears as strong as effort as well.
00:46:16.000The war has undoubtedly taken a toll on Russia and has wrecked the country's standing with much of Europe Beyond North America and Europe, however, there's a lot of evidence to the contrary, with China, India, and Brazil buying Russian oil in record quantities.
00:46:27.000Now, again, this would be an opportunity for the United States to use the power of its LNG industry in order to undercut the Russians.
00:46:35.000Nope, because the environmentalists, because the big threat is climate.
00:46:40.000Meanwhile, are they putting pressure on places like Brazil?
00:46:41.000No, they were too busy celebrating when Yair Bolsonaro lost the election to Lula da Silva, that corrupt oligarch.
00:46:48.000Meanwhile, apparently the Pentagon is learning new lessons from the war in Ukraine.
00:46:52.000And the thing they're mostly learning is that we spend a lot of money on tech and not enough money on, you know, actual weaponry.
00:46:57.000According to the Washington Post, the character of war is changing.
00:47:01.000The lessons taken from Ukraine stand to be an enduring resource.
00:47:04.000The Ukraine conflict has challenged core assumptions.
00:47:06.000The war has become an attritional slugfest, with each side attempting to wear down the other, a model thought to be anachronistic, said Stacey Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at Center for a New American Security.
00:47:16.000It is complicated and long held belief in the Pentagon that expensive precision weapons are central
00:47:22.000GPS guided munitions provided to Ukraine have proven vulnerable to electronic jamming.
00:47:25.000Its military has adapted by pairing older unguided artillery
00:47:28.000with sensors and drones, which can be used to spot targets and refine their shots.
00:47:32.000So they've also told people to stop using cell phones near the front lines.
00:47:37.000Personnel portraying enemy forces during one simulated attack were unable to determine
00:47:42.000the path the helicopter took, but after examining commercially available cell phone data,
00:47:45.000they were able to map the journey of a device traveling across the desert at 120 miles per hour.
00:47:50.000And it revealed where an Apache flew to evade the defenses.
00:47:52.000So again, the American military is learning some things from this battle.
00:47:57.000Suffice it to say, however, that Russia so far has survived.
00:48:01.000If you want to know more about the history of Ukraine that Vladimir Putin cites as his rationale for attacking Ukraine, we are putting out an episode of Facts that goes through the entire history of Ukraine, what's true, what's not, and all the rest.
00:48:12.000When it comes to the actual situation in Ukraine, however, again, it's Joe Biden's leadership that has been a failure here, across the board.
00:48:29.000So their latest argument with regard to abortion is predicated on an Alabama court decision, a Supreme Court decision, ruling that embryos deserve constitutional rights In the state of Alabama.
00:48:44.000If the basic idea is that life begins at conception, and that is the predicate for Alabama law with regard to abortion, then if that life is conceived, even in a Petri dish, then it still deserves a level of protection in the state of Alabama.
00:48:58.000According to the Washington Post, for patients and their doctors, in vitro fertilization, or IVF, had long been associated with hope and reassurance for the future.
00:49:04.000In Alabama, seeking or providing infertility treatment is now mired in anxiety.
00:49:08.000That is because the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that frozen embryos are children and deserving of life and protection.
00:49:31.000If there's an embryo and it is, again, located outside the womb, is it human life or is it not?
00:49:37.000Now again, the entire predicate for the pro-life movement is that location is not the defining feature of what makes human life.
00:49:43.000It is the pro-choice movement that suggests that location is what truly matters, right?
00:49:47.000This is why the pro-choice movement will argue that a baby who's born as a baby but a baby still in mommy's tummy is just a cluster of cells.
00:49:53.000And the pro-life movement has argued whether it's in the stomach or out of the stomach is irrelevant.
00:49:57.000The real question is the definition of life itself.
00:50:00.000So the Alabama Supreme Court last week ruled that frozen embryos are people and someone can be held liable for destroying them.
00:50:07.000The first of its kind ruling came as at least 11 states have broadly defined personhood as beginning at fertilization in their state laws.
00:50:14.000That Alabama case focused on whether a patient who mistakenly dropped and destroyed other couple's frozen embryos could be held liable in a wrongful death lawsuit.
00:50:20.000The court ruled the patient could, writing it had long held that unborn children are children.
00:50:24.000Now that was also true for frozen embryos, affording the fertilized egg the same protection as babies under the wrongful death of a minor act.
00:50:31.000Now again, that makes perfect logical sense.
00:50:33.000People are trying to say that that's crazy.
00:50:34.000I fail to understand how exactly that's crazy.
00:50:37.000The entire predicate for the pro-life position is life begins at conception.
00:50:40.000If life begins at conception and a child has already been conceived, a human being with potential, then that holds true regardless of the location.
00:50:52.000The court said it applies to all children born and unborn without limitation.
00:50:55.000It is not the role of this court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.
00:51:00.000That's especially true here, where the people of the state have adopted a constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding unborn life from legal protection.
00:51:07.000Now, again, that doesn't mean the legislature couldn't change its mind on IVF or change the law to exempt IVF.
00:51:13.000But under current law, and it's the job of the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret current law, that is, in fact, what the law says.
00:51:20.000So this has led to what Democrats think is a winning issue, which is the suggestion that IVF will be outlawed everywhere because if you are saying that you have to protect embryos that are conceived, then what do you do with IVF?
00:51:35.000So my own personal position with regard to IVF has always been that you should incept the number of embryos that you are willing to bear to term.
00:51:44.000But otherwise you are doing something that is effectively quasi-eugenic.
00:51:48.000That when you create, say, seven human embryos, and then you discard five of them so that two of them can be implanted, the only thing that separated the five that were discarded from the two that were implanted was your choice.
00:52:02.000It was not the definition of the life.
00:52:03.000If you had picked one of the other five, that also would have turned into a human child.
00:52:07.000And I've seen people who are comparing this to sperm or egg.
00:52:21.000And when I say turn into a human, I mean it is a human now.
00:52:23.000It will turn into a baby if placed in proper conditions.
00:52:28.000So the Washington Post, of course, is jumping all over this.
00:52:30.000There are a lot of people, I mean, I know people who have used IVF to conceive.
00:52:34.000I've offered money to help people use IVF to conceive.
00:52:37.000My only condition in actually providing a loan or a charitable giving on that was my own pro-life position, which is implant, even if it's more expensive, If you want to implant two embryos, then conceive two embryos.
00:52:54.000That is the pro-life position on this particular measure.
00:52:58.000Now, does that make for awkward politics?
00:52:59.000Sure, because pro-life always makes for awkward politics.
00:53:01.000The reality is that the vast majority of Americans are like in the 15 to 16 to 12 week stage with regard to where they think abortion is and is not appropriate.
00:53:36.000So according to the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, the significance of this decision impacts all Alabamians and will likely lead to fewer babies, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
00:53:45.000As fertility options become limited for those who want to have a family.
00:53:51.000Earlier on Wednesday, Beth Malizia, a partner at Alabama Fertility, had to call four of her patients, all of whom were scheduled for embryo transfers in a few hours, to tell them the clinic was pausing all transfers for at least a day or two.
00:54:01.000The decision to cancel embryo transfers, but to continue with other procedures, like planned egg retrievals, was made under the guidance of the clinic's lab directors and lawyers.
00:54:10.000The four patients will now have to wait at least a month for their next ovulation to start an embryo transfer.
00:54:17.000No one was confident, I guess, at the clinic, that if an embryo failed to thaw, that they wouldn't be held liable.
