00:00:45.000Also, thank you to those of you that support the Charlie Kirk Show every week, every month.
00:00:51.000CharlieKirk.com slash support allows us to speak freely outside of boycotts, outside of backlash, and outside of the left trying to destroy this program.
00:01:28.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:36.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:48.000Every once in a while, I find myself talking about this on college campuses.
00:01:52.000I go to many different universities, and I say something that I never thought was controversial.
00:01:58.000I say something that I never thought would receive any sort of feedback or blowback.
00:02:03.000I actually have a shirt that says, there are only two genders.
00:02:06.000You can get that shirt at charliekirk.com so that you can wear what you believe.
00:02:12.000However, there's just this new video out there that has gone totally viral.
00:02:16.000And I love when the left becomes a parody of themselves, because if I was actually trying to create a Monty Python skit or an SNL skit making fun of the Democratic Socialists of America, it would be this very clip.
00:02:27.000So the Democrat Socialists of America had a gathering of comrades.
00:02:31.000Now, I'm not just calling them comrades as a pejorative or as an insult.
00:02:35.000They actually called each other comrades throughout this entire gathering, where there was a certain individual.
00:02:41.000Now, I don't want to assume this person's gender, right?
00:02:44.000Because that would be very undemocratic socialist of me.
00:02:47.000Where this person, now, are we allowed to assume species?
00:04:05.000It's kind of like the old Ricky Bobby thing.
00:04:07.000I'm not really sure what to do with my hands, Talladega Knights reference.
00:04:10.000Okay, so, but then this individual gets interrupted by someone who he only assumed to be a man who wants to be a woman and says something along the lines of, Can we use, please not use gendered language?
00:05:08.000They do all sorts of wonderful, brilliant stuff.
00:05:10.000For those of you that are listening that are not currently in high school and currently on college campuses, this is actually the norm.
00:05:19.000This kind of fringe ideology is now becoming mainstream.
00:05:23.000And this goes back to the thesis that we have at Turning Point USA, tpusa.com, that whatever happens on college campuses will soon happen in corporate boardrooms and inevitably the halls of Congress.
00:05:35.000So let's kind of dissect a little further the party platform of the Democrat Socialists of America.
00:05:39.000They say, quote, we call for the end of all anti-gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender, GLBTQ, restrictions in law and the workplace, the repeal of all sodomy laws, and the legalization of same-sex marriage.
00:05:55.000We call on all schools to adopt policies and procedures to address and prevent student violence and ban discrimination against GLBTQ people throughout the education system.
00:06:05.000We call for a federal ban on all forms of job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
00:06:11.000And finally, we are committed to confronting the heterosexism.
00:06:32.000I had a phenomenal conversation with a couple of my dear friends who are gay.
00:06:38.000And they brought up a point to me that I actually never thought of, which is what does being transgender have to do with being gay?
00:06:46.000And why are they lumped into kind of one bucket?
00:06:49.000Questioning your gender identity is something completely separate than your own sexual preference in who you want to mate with or who you want to associate with.
00:07:01.000And so these two gay men who are conservative libertarians said they're so sick and tired of being lumped into one bucket.
00:07:09.000In fact, there is a movement of feminists, and some of these feminists are lesbians.
00:07:14.000And J.K. Rowling is part of this movement.
00:07:17.000For those that don't know who J.K. Rowling is, all I can say is Harry Potter, she wrote Harry Potter, one of the most successful authors of all time.
00:07:25.000She's part of a feminist movement that is pushing back against the growing transgender movement, saying that it's ruining women's sports, so on and so forth.
00:07:33.000And we're actually going to, in a little bit, dive into actually some of the public policy implications of where all this comes from.
00:07:40.000So we start kind of making fun of the Democrat Socialists of America platform, and you're going to see how deathly serious this kind of ideology quickly becomes.
00:07:52.000Whether you're working from home or on your fitness, you want to know what you're listening to is actually what you want to be listening to.
00:07:56.000Like the Charlie Kirk show, not some person in the background watching the Rachel Maddow show.
00:08:02.000Everyone needs a great pair of wireless earbuds.
00:08:04.000But before you go dropping hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a pair, you need to check out wireless earbuds from Raycon.

00:09:00.000That's by Raycon.com/slash Kirk for 15% off.
00:09:15.000There's no actual way to understand this.
00:09:17.000What someone who is transgender, so a man who thinks he's a woman, has to do with a woman who knows she's a woman who likes other women.
00:09:27.000I don't understand why those two things are looped into the same acronym, except for the fact that they're trying to build broad-based coalitions.
00:09:34.000And for all my LGBT friends or GLBTQ friends, all my gay and lesbian friends out there, let's just put it that way, I encourage you to push back against being lumped into the same sentence, same acronym as transgender people.
00:14:24.000Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
00:14:29.000Okay, you might have missed it, but right towards the beginning, the offended individual, which we're assuming is a Homo sapien and assuming is a male.
00:14:37.000Okay, you might not understand the joke, but just so you understand, on a college campus, you can't assume somebody's gender.
00:14:43.000So you have to actually preface yourself with the correct gender pronouns.
00:14:47.000And so I know it might seem that I'm being facetious or sarcastic.
00:14:50.000I'm sort of being sarcastic in some ways, but this is deathly serious.
00:14:54.000So for example, from the University of Wisconsin, instead of using he, him, or she, her, you have to use non-gendered pronouns or options.
00:15:03.000So for example, there are five different variations of this.
00:15:07.000So instead of saying she, her, her, hers, herself, you would say something such as Z, Zem, Zer, Zers, and Zemself, which is ungendered language.
00:16:24.000Intersex are people that are born with both reproductive organs, both male and female reproductive organs, and they are exception to the rule.
00:16:34.000What happens when you have an exception is you have a rule.
00:16:36.000The rule is you have two, you have a chromosomal structure that is XX or XY.
00:16:42.000You fall into one of those categories.
00:16:47.000And in America, just so you understand how rare it is, just 0.05% or one in 2,000 people are born intersex.
00:16:55.000This is the exception to the truth that there are only two genders.
00:16:59.000Anything beyond that is an aberration, including the hundreds of genders the left forces us to abide by, such as just for a recap, glass gender, Heliogender, Calgender, and Apkakunsung gender.
00:17:13.000These policies are being pushed most notably on college campuses.
00:17:16.000So this goes back to our thesis, and I'm going to give you some examples of this, is that whatever happens on college campuses will soon happen in corporate boardrooms, which will then happen in the halls of Congress.
00:17:27.000So it goes from campus to boardrooms to Congress.
00:17:29.000So these policies are now being implemented on basically every single college campus across the country.
00:17:34.000Colorado State University, CSU, which I'll refer to it as, they have an inclusive language guide, which outlines the school's official stance on what language is and is not appropriate to use at their university.
00:17:45.000So word and phrases you have to avoid are he and she, because that's offensive, because you're assuming someone's gender.
00:17:51.000Fresh man, because you're using a patriarchal term or a male term.
00:17:58.000Ladies and gentlemen, can't use that, because what if someone is not a lady or a gentleman?
00:18:03.000What if they are kaleogender, which is an extraterrestrial?
00:19:02.000American University, right outside of Washington, D.C., actually in Washington, D.C. American University is seeking to mandate language to be used by faculty when referring to students.
00:19:12.000Faculty and staff members can be investigated for failure to respect gender identity through its bias reporting system.
00:19:18.000Now remember, this is what got Jordan Peterson kind of to be so notorious.
00:19:22.000Notorious is the wrong term, because notorious means bad.
00:19:25.000I mean, so actually what's got him so popular.
00:19:27.000It was what got him to be so, really is what built his popularity and his virality is when Canada, through a section in the Human Rights Code, tried to, by force, make Jordan Peterson use certain gender pronouns.
00:19:40.000So instead of using force, here's the really important thing.
00:19:43.000I just have to make this kind of side note that if I met someone who was transgender and they said, Charlie, I identify as a woman and I would like you to call me this name or call me by this pronoun, I would do that because that's what mutual respect is.
00:19:57.000And how do we know that civil society would do this?
00:20:00.000Because people ask us to call them something different all the time.
00:20:03.000Hey, can you stop calling me this nickname or can you stop calling me this?
00:20:06.000And generally, as a civil society, we've come to a way to intermediate those differences about government rules.
00:20:35.000For those of you that don't know, Chuck is a way that many people name Charlie.
00:20:39.000It's a nickname for someone with the name of Charlie.
00:20:41.000And so basically, no one calls me Chuck.
00:20:43.000And it really, really irritates me, except my six friends who do it to irritate me, and I don't really care.
00:20:47.000But that's a really basic example of how I intermediated the differences through civil dialogue.
00:20:52.000And I said, please don't call me that.
00:20:53.000I would prefer if you don't call me that.
00:20:55.000And people generally will respect the lines that you draw.
00:20:58.000The same can be said for the transgender argument.
00:21:00.000Why can't we just have civil dialogue and have common respect for each other?
00:21:04.000Whereas transgender people would be able to go to me and say, please call me this, this, and this.
00:21:08.000Instead, these universities like American University or Colorado State University, through soft fascism, are putting in huge repercussions and potential consequences if you dare violate this kind of language.
00:21:21.000Go to the University of California, Berkeley.
00:21:23.000I say, quote, this is from the Associated Press.
00:21:25.000There will be no manholes in Berkeley, California.
00:21:28.000City workers will now drop into, quote, maintenance holes instead.
00:21:33.000Nothing will be, quote, man-made in the liberal city, but instead, human-made.
00:21:39.000And students at the University of California, Berkeley will join collegiate Greek system residences rather than fraternities and sororities.
00:21:46.000Berkeley is supposed to be the beacon of free speech, yet now they're limiting the speech of anyone who wants to use traditional language like he or she, him, or hers.
00:21:56.000Again, University of California, Berkeley, instead of mitigating differences as civil people do, feels if they have to recalibrate our entire language.
00:22:03.000Harvard University, which is sometimes considered to be the best university in America, I will push back against that, but some people consider it.
00:22:11.000Harvard suppresses Freedom Association in the name of gender equality.
00:22:14.000So, quote, Harvard students who are members of single gender clubs are barred from leading campus groups or becoming captains of sports teams.
00:22:22.000The school also refuses to endorse the students for prestigious fellowships, prestigious fellowships, including the Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships.
00:22:30.000So what they're saying, Harvard University is saying right here, is if you dare go after single gender clubs, if you go join an all-men's fraternity or an all-woman's sorority or an all-men's group, you can no longer become a Rhodes or Marshall scholar.
00:22:42.000You cannot get a prestigious fellowship.
00:22:44.000I thought the whole idea is not to discriminate against people.
00:22:47.000They're literally discriminating against people if they decide to go into a group that is based on singular gender identity.
00:22:54.000The left is raising the cost of college.
00:22:57.000As the cost of college is rising dramatically, it costs more and more to attend college.
00:23:03.000So the left is raising the cost of attending college while simultaneously railing against the cost of higher education.
00:23:09.000So for example, American University is set to spend $121 million on quote diversity initiatives.
00:23:15.000So while they're complaining that the cost of college is going up so dramatically, so hey, American University, how about instead of spending $121 million on diversity initiatives, you only spend $20 million and you spend that $100 million on tuition aid for your students that are going into debt to go study garbage at your university.
00:23:32.000Columbia University is looking to spend an extra $100 million, this is stunning, on diversity and inclusion initiatives over the coming year.
00:23:41.000And so I addressed all this kind of mounting gender insanity on Fox and Friends with my good friend Pete Hegseth.
00:23:48.000I want to cut to a clip of this where I talk and I kind of talk to some of the older audience where I say, you might be so surprised to hear this.
00:24:14.000And this sort of ideology is growing quickly in America.
00:24:17.000We must do everything we can to stop it.
00:24:18.000So as you heard there, at Turning Point USA, we have been fighting this for years and we have been signaling the alarm and trying to pull as many fire alarms as we can along the way.
00:24:27.000We're the ones that are just, hey, there's something really nutty going on here and be careful because students are believing it and now they're entering into functioning society.
00:24:36.000And now functioning society is changing and really thoughtful people are starting to take notice.
00:24:41.000So one of my favorite writers, I do not agree with her all the time, but my goodness, God gave her the gift of the pen.
00:24:50.000She is an incredible writer, unbelievable writer, is Peggy Noonan.
00:24:55.000And just the way she's able to craft sentences and paragraphs together, it's poetry.
00:24:59.000She's one of the most gifted writers in American politics.
00:25:03.000And I encourage all of you to check out this piece in the Wall Street Journal.
00:25:06.000And I'm going to butcher some pronunciation here, so I apologize.
00:25:09.000Essentially, it's what were Robespierre's pronouns.
00:25:12.000And it talks about how the French Revolution was led by sociopaths who politicized language, much like today's Jacobins.
00:25:19.000I'm not going to read the whole piece, but the essence of the piece kind of shows that the French Revolution tried to co-opt language and the failures of the French Revolution, which was rooted in the tyranny of the minority and mob rule, similar to today's left-wing mob.
00:25:36.000So I am going to read one paragraph from this piece, which I think is really important.
00:25:41.000The French Revolution was largely run by sociopaths.
00:25:45.000One, Robespierre, the messianic schoolmaster, quote, messianic schoolmaster, saw it as an opportunity for the moral instruction of the nation.
00:25:55.000No part of the citizen's life left untouched.
00:25:58.000As man was governed by an empire of images, in the words of a Jacobin intellectual, the new regime would provide new images to shape new thoughts.
00:26:09.000There would be pageants and new names for things.
00:26:23.000To detach farmers from their superstitions, their Gregorian calendar, you know, the calendar that built Western civilization, and its saint days, you know, the Judeo-Christian construct, they would rename the months.
00:26:35.000The first month would be in the fall, named for the harvest.
00:26:38.000There would be no more weeks, just a three 10-day periods of each month.
00:26:43.000I am not kidding, the left is going to try to redo our calendar.
00:26:46.000I actually think Peggy Noonan is onto something here.
00:26:49.000But look, the French Revolution was built by narcissistic sociopaths that try to deconstruct everything around civil and functioning society.
00:26:56.000Now understand the left will always operate in patterns.
00:26:59.000Human beings operate in patterns, and radical far-left-wing movements operate in patterns.
00:27:05.000Every single time the left takes over power in a culture or in a country, the first thing they do is try to eliminate all the history.
00:27:10.000The best example of this is the Chinese Revolution.
00:27:13.000When they went through the Cultural Revolution, the first thing they did was eliminate, tear down as many statues and burn as much history of Confucius, of Ming, of the Shuhong, of the Shuzhang dynasty, you name it.
00:27:24.000They burnt down to the ground every piece of Chinese history they could possibly find.
00:27:29.000Same in the Russian Revolution, same in the Cuban Revolution, same in all these kind of communist Marxist revolutions, and same, of course, now back in the French Revolution.
00:27:37.000And isn't that exactly what the left in America is trying to do right now?
00:27:40.000They're trying to get rid of Betsy Ross.
00:27:41.000They're trying to kneel during the national anthem.
00:27:43.000They're trying to call the flag a symbol of white supremacy.
00:27:45.000They're trying to get rid of certain textbooks.
00:28:15.000I think one of the greatest thinkers in Western civilization was the Roman consul Cicero.
00:28:19.000One of my favorite quotes that he had, and I'm paraphrasing, we'll find the exact quote, where he said, the greatest virtue is gratitude, which all the others stem from.
00:28:28.000And we've talked about this on the Charlie Kirk show before, and it's something that we do a lot in the Charlie Kirk show: we talk about the great thinkers that built Western civilization, like Cicero, a little bit like Plato, but some of his stuff that he wrote was garbage, like Aristotle, like Socrates, like Augustine, like Aquinas, like Hume, like Locke.
00:28:45.000But Cicero talked about you must have gratitude for what came before you.
00:28:49.000You must be thankful for what you have, and none of that, all other virtues stem from there.
00:28:54.000Do you think the American left is thankful?
00:28:57.000Do you think the Democrat socialists of America are thankful to be in America?
00:29:01.000Do you think the Democrat socialists of America have gratitude, overpouring gratitude to be an American citizen?
00:29:15.000The opposite of gratitude is envy or is destruction.
00:29:18.000They want to tear down systems that work.
00:29:20.000That's why they want to destroy what they call gendered language.
00:29:24.000That's why they want to destroy institutions that have actually proven to work.
00:29:27.000Now, if there are certain issues with those institutions, we should address them rationally, find those issues, and then pull them out in a way that would work collaboratively for a functioning civil society.
00:30:14.000Because they've allowed girls into the Boy Scouts.
00:30:16.000You might say, well, Charlie, that's a pretty draconian, backwards way of thinking.
00:30:20.000There is so much value in single-sex education or single-sex experiences.
00:30:27.000I could tell you, when I was at Boy Scout camp, the fact that it was only boys and only men made you more likely to take risks, less likely to be embarrassed of failure, and be able to establish fraternity with people that you have for the rest of your life.
00:30:43.000There are multiple studies that show that discomfort and discord and uncomfortability come from mixing men and women at early ages, especially during formative experiences.
00:30:55.000So, for example, when you're trying to climb a rope at Boy Scout camp and you fall, you're going to be 10 times more embarrassed if there's a girl looking at you doing that.
00:31:04.000Social psychologists will agree with this.
00:31:06.000If it's all men, you'll be embarrassed, but you'll be embarrassed for a different reason.
00:31:10.000Well, you're embarrassed not because you disapproved in front of the lady, but instead, you want to be the biggest man there and you want to get to the top.
00:31:18.000These sorts of experiences are now being diluted and deteriorated because the left has taken over the Boy Scouts of America.
00:31:28.000Look, I want to talk to you about internet freedom.
00:31:30.000Social media companies get to decide what content is suitable for the sensitive snowflakes among us and censor whatever they don't like.
00:31:38.000Shouldn't you be the one to decide what you want to read or watch, not them?
00:31:43.000There's one thing you can control: their access to your data.
00:33:17.000They've destroyed most of Western Europe.
00:33:19.000They're trying to destroy the rest of Europe.
00:33:21.000They've destroyed every civilization, every culture they've ever come in touch with.
00:33:25.000And now that's what they're trying to do here.
00:33:27.000The Democrat Socialists of America are a direct extension of Rassoian and Marxist philosophy that has been tried time and time again.
00:33:35.000The difference with the Democrat Socialists of America, this is really important that if you're listening to this and you're over the age of 40, this is a different struggle with Marxism than the struggle of Marxism that we experienced in the 70s and 80s.
00:33:46.000Soviet Marxism was economic Marxism, not cultural Marxism.
00:33:53.000The Soviet model of Marxism, while they were atheist in nature and secularist, they did not destroy the Russian Orthodox Church.
00:34:01.000In fact, they understood that they can keep it kind of on the periphery as long as they don't get too strong and they don't get too powerful.
00:34:20.000He was an Italian Marxist who argued that cultural Marxism, that Marxists should assume a cultural revolution, that the economic argument was not enough for the Marxists, that the idea of the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat or the idea of the working class versus the business owners was not enough.
00:34:40.000That instead there must be a cultural revolution, which means redefining genders and gender norms.
00:34:45.000You actually go way back to a thinker that argued that gender norms should be basically eliminated.
00:34:53.000Plato went as far to say this in the Republic.
00:34:56.000He actually argued that gender norms should be completely and totally eliminated.
00:35:00.000He said that the family should be demolished, that the government should essentially become the family.
00:35:05.000He said that women should have complete and total compatibility with men, and that gender was, he argued, to be so, he didn't go as far to say that was a social construct, but some people could look at Plato's teachings and look at the utopia he was trying to create and find a great deal of disagreement there.
00:35:25.000So just to build that out further, just so my language is more precise, I sympathize much more with Aristotle than with Plato.
00:35:31.000So to go back to what Peggy Noonan was saying though, Peggy Noonan points in a singular paragraph that the left is an unstoppable force of destruction.
00:35:41.000They were in 1792 during the French Revolution.
00:35:44.000Now mind you, there were two different revolutions and these revolutions are still at war with each other.
00:35:48.000The French Revolution, which focused on equality and fraternity, and the American Revolution, which focused on liberty, e pluribus unum, and the rule of law.
00:35:57.000These two revolutions have two totally different philosophical fathers.
00:36:02.000The father of the French Revolution is Rousseau.
00:36:04.000The father of the American Revolution is Hume, Locke, and Smith.
00:36:08.000And they both had way different ways to view the world.
00:36:10.000And if you want to go all the way back to the Greek roots of it, yes, it is this struggle of Plato versus Aristotle.
00:36:16.000They totally disagreed with each other, not on everything, but on a lot of big things.
00:36:20.000And Aristotle is much more the father of Western society.
00:36:24.000Plato is much more the father of Rousseau, which led to Marx, which has led to some of the modern day cultural Marxists that we have today.
00:36:31.000And Peggy Noonan rightly points this out.
00:36:33.000To go back to one of my favorite thinkers ever in the history of Western civilization, the quote that I was paraphrasing, now we have this specific quote by Cicero.
00:36:41.000Remember, kind of quick trivia, Cicero was one year Roman consul, probably the best council that Rome ever had.
00:37:10.000Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues, but the parent of all others.
00:37:15.000Said by Cicero, must we never forget the great teachings of Cicero.
00:37:18.000He was a best-selling author at the time, huge public speaker, so we could actually draw some parallels between Donald Trump, the celebrity, and Cicero, the celebrity.
00:37:25.000People actually went, traveled hundreds of miles to go see Cicero speak in Rome.
00:37:30.000And so to transition, this happens now in corporate boardrooms.
00:37:34.000And again, this goes to the thesis, college campuses feed to corporate boardrooms, which then feed the halls of Congress.
00:37:41.000So again, it goes one after the other, after the other.
00:37:46.000California law now, quote, requires publicly traded corporations headquartered in California to include at least one woman on their board of directors by the end of 2019 as part of an effort to close the gender gap in business.
00:37:58.000That doesn't have as much to do with kind of the prior argument, but why don't you just have competent people on your board of directors?
00:38:05.000I mean, what if we have competent, proficient, educated people, not just people under a certain gender conformity?
00:38:30.000Their whole argument is that there is no difference.
00:38:31.000There's no biological difference between men and women.
00:38:34.000One of the big arguments to the left is that men and women are basically the same and gender as a social construct, and men are really women and women are really men and we're all just one.
00:38:42.000But if that's really the case, then why is there a gender pay gap?
00:38:53.000Everyone's equal, so it doesn't exist.
00:38:54.000Furthermore, by the end of July 2021, the law requires that, quote, a minimum of two women must sit on boards with five members, and there must be at least three women on boards with six or more members.
00:39:04.000Companies that fail to comply face fines up to $100,000 for the first violation and $300 for a second or subsequent violation.
00:39:11.000So what's really happening here is the state government of California is coming in and mandating how private businesses must structure their corporate governance.
00:39:48.000Can you just say, hey, we actually don't want to add unqualified people?
00:39:52.000Again, I'm not saying women are unqualified, but let's just say your board is amazingly qualified and it's all men.
00:39:57.000Just say, hey, can half you just identify as women for the when the California Business Association comes in.
00:40:04.000Again, this is another example of state government and government in general coming in and telling people how to run their businesses under the guise of equality.
00:41:03.000Now, mind you, let's just take a step back.
00:41:05.000For basically all of modern scientific history, like basically last hundred years, people who are transgender were considered to be gender dysphoric by the medical community.
00:41:15.000Now we call those individuals transgender.
00:41:17.000By the way, I want to make something very clear.
00:41:24.000And I'm simply cross-examining and poking fun at the absurdity of the left of this insane gender identity cyclone that they have perpetrated on our functioning civil society.
00:41:36.000So in reality, instead of it actually being a crusade in defense of LGBTQ people, it's really an attempt to criminalize traditional and religious beliefs about marriage.
00:41:47.000It also puts free speech and states' rights at unbelievable risk.
00:42:25.000First of all, it's a bill that would add, quote, sexual orientation and quote, gender identity as protected classes under federal civil rights law by amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:42:38.000Where the original Civil Rights Act 1964 actually furthered, this is important, furthered equality by ensuring that African Americans and people of all races had equal access to public accommodations and material goods, which of course is a phenomenal thing, something I totally support.
00:42:56.000The Equality Act would further inequality by penalizing everyday Americans for their beliefs about marriage and biological sex.
00:43:05.000So this is from the Heritage Foundation, terrific organization.
00:43:08.000The five groups that would be harmed by the Equality Act, number one, workers, employees, and business owners.
00:43:14.000Quote, both workers and employers would be forced to obey speech and gender norms or else lose their jobs or be forced to clear their business.
00:43:22.000Already florists, wedding planners, and cake shops, remember the lawsuit in Colorado, the masterpiece cake shop, for instance, are implicated in certain states.
00:43:33.000The Equality Act would force hospitals, doctors, and insurers to pay for therapies and procedures against any moral objection.
00:43:40.000Again, this passed the House of Representatives, but with Democrat unanimous support and a couple abstentions, very few abstentions.
00:43:47.000For all those blue dog Democrats that voted for this, I'm sure this is a really pressing issue in rural America, right?
00:43:52.000I'm sure this is a really big pressing issue.
00:43:55.000Another example, Catholic hospitals that do so much good for the world, Catholic hospitals in California and New Jersey, have been sued for declining to perform hysterectomies on otherwise healthy women who want to become male, essentially sex changes.
00:44:09.000A third Catholic hospital in Washington settled out of court when the ACLU sued them for declining to perform a double mastectomy on a gender dysphoric 16-year-old girl.
00:44:21.000And so, look, the left loves to use this as a specific example, but if we actually want to use this against them, this is what you call religious conscience.
00:44:42.000They sued and won against the federal government against being forced to provide abortive patients that would violate their deeply held religious beliefs to give them to their employers.
00:44:52.000But mind you, again, this is how hard the left fights and how the right does not fight.
00:44:58.000Do you want to say how the left will actually be kind of in a conundrum?
00:45:03.000Why doesn't someone go to a, I don't know, a very Muslim-dominated neighborhood and make them perform something against the Quran?
00:45:14.000I actually support the Muslim individual and the Muslim shop owner or the Muslim doctor to not have to perform something that would violate their religious conscience.
00:45:27.000I don't know how the left would deal with that one.
00:46:07.000This also affects parents and children.
00:46:09.000The Equality Act would put parental rights to make decisions about their children's medical treatment and education at total risk.
00:46:15.000It would normalize hormonal and surgical interventions for gender dysphoric children as well as ideological education in schools and other public venues.
00:46:23.000Just a side note, just so you know, in the state of Oregon, did you know that you could get a taxpayer-funded sex change while you're under the age of 18 without parental consent?
00:46:33.000So you can get a sex change without notifying your parents and have other people pay for it?
00:46:42.00080 to 90% of children with gender dysphoria no longer feel distressed about their bodies after puberty.
00:46:49.000So that's just an interesting statistic put in there.
00:46:52.000Despite this powerful statistic, activists are still pushing radical protocol.
00:46:57.000Social transition as young as four, puberty blocking drugs as young as nine, cross-sex hormones as young as 14, and surgery by 18, or in some cases, even younger.
00:47:07.000I mean, I want to just kind of give a defense of Mario Lopez.
00:47:10.000Mario Lopez said something so not controversial on my friend Candace Owens' show, and he received such unbelievable backlash.
00:47:18.000I was personally very disappointed that Mario Lopez apologized.
00:47:56.000You know, and I always say, if you come from a place of love, you know, you really can't go wrong.
00:48:00.000But at the same time, my God, if you're three years old and you're saying you're feeling a certain way or you think you're a boy or a girl, whatever the case may be, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination then, okay.
00:48:13.000Well, then you're going to be a boy or a girl, whatever the case may be.
00:48:19.000And my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on.
00:48:22.000And so there you heard Mario Lopez being exceedingly polite and politically correct and diplomatic and saying something that shouldn't be controversial, such as, I don't know, don't let three-year-olds choose what gender they are.
00:48:34.000Look, children already live in a state of confusion.
00:48:37.000Children already live in a state of where they're trying to find their place in the world.
00:48:41.000They're trying to understand language.
00:48:42.000They're trying to understand bearings.
00:48:43.000It's a very big, very intimidating world.
00:48:46.000To also put the burden of them having to find self-identification when they're still trying to understand the language and the world that exists around them, I believe is wrong.
00:49:23.000So the Equality Act would essentially cement these men who think they are women who are competing in women's sports.
00:49:32.000Men who think they are women should not be able to compete against women in female sports.
00:49:39.000Recently, transgender, so recently male who thinks he's a woman, weightlifter, L'Orel Hubbard, who competed for New Zealand in men's weightlifting before the transition, won two golds and a silver and three other women.
00:51:03.000When you're dealing with the left, you have to say things that are obvious that are called controversial.
00:51:08.000In Connecticut, the state champion and runner-up in the 55-meter dash was a biological male who thought he was a woman in the process of transitioning to a female.
00:51:17.000Connecticut is one of 17 states that currently allows men who think they are women athletes to compete against the gender of their choosing absent any restrictions.
00:51:28.000Shame on the parents and shame on the school system for allowing this to happen.
00:51:33.000Young women deserve the opportunity to compete and pursue excellence outside of male bullies who think they are women, who want attention and achievement.
00:51:43.000And by the way, I guarantee you the state champion of a man who thinks he was a woman would not be able to be state champion as a man.
00:51:52.000In January, rep Elon Omar of Minnesota recommended that her state attorney general, Keith Ellison, again, who's under massive accusations for beating his girlfriend, we have 911 calls to show that.
00:52:02.000It's interesting how the left conveniently ignores that.
00:52:05.000Investigate USA powerlifting for blocking biological males for competing in women's events.
00:52:13.000I believe that people who are born with XX chromosomes should be only people competing against each other's XX chromosomes.
00:52:20.000As the Daily Caller has reported, Omar referred to the idea that biological male athletes identifying as women have an unfair advantage over biological females as a myth.
00:52:30.000So this is the quote from Congresswoman Elon Omar, who is also hates Israel and is anti-Semitic.
00:52:38.000Quote, the myth that trans women have a, quote, direct competitive advantage is not supported by medical science.
00:53:20.000Three professors, two in bioethics and one in physiology, recently authored a study entitled, Trans Women in Elite Sports, Scientific and Ethical Considerations, including that trans women athletes hold an intolerable advantage over biological women.
00:53:46.000If all of a sudden he thought he was a woman and he went into, by the way, he's actually the world's strongest man.
00:53:51.000Just by a side note, in real life, the guy that was playing that is legitimately the world's strongest man.
00:53:55.000If Clegain, or even his brother, who's smaller, the hound, decided to compete against women, Elon Omar says that they don't have an advantage.
00:54:43.000The author cites research demonstrating that health, quote, healthy young men did not lose significant muscle mass or power when their circulating testosterone were reduced.
00:54:51.000So essentially, this talks about the IOC guideline says that men who think they are women can compete against women if they take certain medication or certain injections that reduce their testosterone.
00:55:01.000It actually doesn't work according to this study.
00:55:05.000So this is also a really important point.
00:55:07.000Sexual orientation and gender identity laws that open up sex-specific facilities like bathrooms, locker rooms, et cetera, to members of the opposite sex enable sexual assault.
00:55:17.000I mean, I thought there was a huge movement on college campuses to try to prevent sexual assault.
00:55:24.000When you have dormitories and you have bathrooms where men and women are showering together, do you think you're going to get more or less sexual assault in those kind of instances?
00:55:34.000I thought you're probably going to get more.
00:55:35.000You're probably going to get more sexual assault.
00:55:46.000And when women tell me that they don't want to be showering next to some creepy dude, and all of a sudden we're forcing this sort of forced shower, which the Equality Act would do.
00:55:55.000Do you know a lot of college campuses have bathrooms that are co-ed?
00:56:04.000Boys having access to the girls' restroom and girls having access to the boys' restroom.
00:56:08.000Again, this goes back to the tyranny of the radical minority.
00:56:11.000We are pandering to a radical minority just for the sake of not offending a couple people that are a minority of a minority, and we're disenfranchising all of functioning civil society.
00:56:23.000This would also go after churches and faith nonprofits.
00:56:25.000Again, we're talking about the Equality Act here.
00:56:28.000Faith-based adoption agencies that seek one man and one woman as a mother and father have been shut down in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, and Washington, D.C. Churches that teach traditional values on marriage and sexuality can potentially be censured, fined, or shut down.
00:56:44.000Under the Equality Act, the language of the Bible is potentially open to legal censure.
00:56:50.000Most importantly, the bill that prohibits the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and providing a claim, defense, or basis for challenging such protections.
00:56:58.000Most specifically, this bill prohibits the Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.
00:57:03.000Look, there's no chance in hell that this bill would stand up against the Supreme Court, but it is important to talk about it.
00:57:19.000Do we have to stop seeking Spanish because certain words are gender binary?
00:57:23.000Because I always learned when you have to actually describe a certain, you have to either conjugate a verb or more importantly, describe a noun as feminine or masculine, you have to change it in a certain way.
00:58:06.000Going back to Cal, so let's play a clip of me on the campus of the University of Oregon where a campus leftist reveals what they believe when it comes to actually allowing jail time if you use the wrong pronoun.
00:59:11.000California law allows for jail time for using wrong gender pronouns.
00:59:15.000Violations can be punishable up to $1,000 or by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year.
00:59:23.000You can get one year in jail if you misgender somebody in the state of California.
00:59:27.000And this individual that I'm assuming is a woman, I'm assuming her gender, that I talked to at the University of Oregon, thought that was perfectly fine.
00:59:35.000So look, to kind of wrap all this together, the radical left is on a rampage to destroy the language and destroy civil society as we know it.
00:59:44.000And one of the ways they're trying to do that is, yes, through gender pronouns and gender identity.
00:59:50.000We just went through all the negatives of the Equality Act, which passed unanimously with House Democrats.
00:59:55.000I'd like to think a lot of them don't even understand the garbage in the bill and they don't even understand what's actually in it.
01:00:00.000And the tyranny of the minority is real.
01:00:02.000The left panders to these hyper-vocal minorities to try to make themselves feel good while they are disenfranchising basically the rest of the country.
01:00:12.000The left is a very stoppable force, but they are a committed force of destruction in our country right now.
01:00:19.000And boy, if you're not worried after reading and listening to all this, you should be.
01:00:23.000Because there are some things that should not change.
01:00:25.000Progress for the sake of progress is a bad idea.
01:00:29.000There are some things that are bedrock institutions, such as the nuclear family, such as language that has proven to work, such as working hard and playing by the rules.
01:00:38.000These sorts of things should not change.
01:00:40.000But the left is focused and committed to fundamentally transforming our country at every single turn.
01:01:11.000We try to bring as many as we can commercial free, and we are able to do those commercial-free episodes, especially the longer form episodes.
