00:01:40.960The fight for the right to life continues and pro-life causes need all the support you can get.
00:03:37.360With gratitude, we, the students of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School Class of 2026,
00:03:47.940stand here today among our friends, families, peers, mentors, and communities who have supported us in reaching this milestone.
00:03:57.300Our institution is located on Dakota land.
00:04:00.320Today, many indigenous people throughout the state, including Dakota and Ojibwe, call the Twin Cities home.
00:04:08.580We also recognize this acknowledgement is not enough.
00:04:12.580We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the health care system.
00:04:20.160We recognize inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression.
00:04:39.400I will not believe that the repentance is sincere until Dr. Robert Englander demonstrates it through self-immolation.
00:04:45.820And I mean literal self-immolation, like setting himself on fire, rather than simply immolating his credibility as a medical professional and his dignity as a man.
00:04:58.240So, as we heard there, it begins with the classic land acknowledgement where members of modern Western civilization apologize for being members of modern Western civilization.
00:05:07.500Granted, all people everywhere on Earth are living on land that was once occupied and owned by other people.
00:05:14.000All inhabited regions of the globe, without exception, have been fought over and bled over and for.
00:05:21.260No other culture, though, apologizes for this fact, just as Native Americans never apologize for their own history of conquest and bloodshed.
00:05:29.360This is a confrontation that they are never required to have with their own past.
00:05:33.840Only modern Westerners are stupid enough for this kind of thing.
00:05:37.180But the greater concern is that this doctor and these medical students are, in creepy unison, declaring the gender binary oppressive.
00:05:48.100Now, it's theoretically possible that somebody could be a competent medical professional, even while suffering from a terminal case of performative white guilt.
00:05:57.180And that's all the land acknowledgement stuff signifies.
00:05:59.160But it is impossible that somebody could be a competent medical professional, or even a semi-competent one, while harboring the delusion that biology is some sort of oppressive, patriarchal construct and conspiracy.
00:06:13.860All of their medical work must happen within the context of biological realities.
00:06:19.540If they don't understand those realities, or have pledged to pretend they don't understand them, then they can't be trusted.
00:06:25.340I mean, I wouldn't even take Tylenol if these lunatics recommended it, because they are fatally compromised.
00:06:32.680And we're not done yet. Let's continue.
00:06:35.640As we enter this profession with opportunity for growth, we commit to promoting a culture of anti-racism, listening, and amplifying voices for positive change.
00:06:47.140We pledge to honor all indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.
00:06:55.340I'm sorry, what? Honor all indigenous ways of healing? All of them? All? Are you sure? All?
00:07:03.400I mean, most indigenous ways of healing are based in paganism and animism.
00:07:08.300You know, the belief that all things, including rocks and rivers and plants and all that, have souls and are, in a sense, supernatural.
00:07:15.480This is the belief system that these ideas are rooted in.
00:07:18.720And primitive people may have had some useful medical insights about plants and medicinal plants and all that,
00:07:25.160but they were ignorant of most of the scientific realities that make modern medicine possible.
00:07:31.160So when you say all, are we including, for example, the primitive practice of trepanation,
00:07:38.120which is boring holes in a person's skull to treat spiritual or physical illnesses?
00:07:42.320That's something that indigenous people in this part of the world did, especially in South America.
