The entire gender transition industry is built on lies, and we will reveal today the results of our weeks-long undercover investigation that exposes this fraud. Also, an activist judge in Florida declares that gender identity is real. What does that mean and does he even know what it means? And also, Vivek Ramaswamy gives the best answer on Ukraine that any presidential candidate has given so far. In our Daily Cancellation, the artist formerly known as Ellen Page claims that she was viciously hate-caught by a right-wing transphobic bigot in Hollywood.
00:01:42.520One of the arguments you hear a lot in the debate over gender ideology across the political spectrum is that adults should be able to do what they want.
00:01:50.280You know, this is the supposedly moderate position.
00:01:52.500Several presidential candidates believe it.
00:01:54.260Millions of Americans believe it, too.
00:01:55.740As long as you stay away from the kids, they tell you, then there's no problem.
00:02:00.080The moment you hit 18 years old, do what you want.
00:02:29.880And you know that no one means it, because none of the people making that argument would use that same reasoning to justify, say, lobotomies.
00:02:37.280If you walked into a doctor's office today and asked him to drill a hole in your head and sever your prefrontal cortex in order to make you feel better about your life, he would say no.
00:02:47.420And if he did it, he would go to prison.
00:02:50.220No amount of informed consent, no matter how old you were, could possibly justify it.
00:02:56.720Like, tens of thousands of people's lives were ruined by lobotomies, and everybody recognizes that now.
00:03:02.760Nobody's marching in defense of lobotomy-affirming care.
00:03:05.780So, if you defend these gruesome, quote-unquote, gender-affirming procedures on adults, you're not really saying that adults should be able to do what they want.
00:03:13.380You're saying that, yes, people can change their sex if they want.
00:03:17.920You're conceding that these procedures, slicing up a woman's arm to make a fake penis, lopping off healthy breasts, grafting fake nipples onto patients' chest, etc., are medically reasonable.
00:03:29.280And in the absence of any kind of statistical data about positive long-term outcomes of these surgeries, you're trusting the doctors to follow an established standard of care.
00:03:37.080You're assuming that they're not going to just mutilate anyone who walks in the door without regard for what happens to these people afterwards.
00:03:44.720The problem is that the entire industry of gender-affirming care is a scam.
00:04:01.240And what we found is that there are no real standards of care governing any of this.
00:04:07.480To be clear, there are standards of care, quote-unquote, on paper, and they're provided by the transgender activist group WPATH.
00:04:13.840WPATH standards are used by major hospitals in this country, including UCLA, UCSF, Mass General, just to name a few.
00:04:21.540How rigorous are these standards exactly?
00:04:23.340Well, after a 22-minute video call, the largest trans health care provider in the country, carefully following the WPATH guidelines, approved one of my producers, Greg Ray, for an orchiectomy.
00:07:18.680Once you stop, once you no longer have your testes, you no longer have the ability for your T to convert to BHT because you don't have as much T, right?
00:07:28.820So, hair growth, facial and body hair may change after ORCIEF-T.
00:07:35.100Fat redistribution is affected by the estrogen.
00:07:38.980So, you may have less of a change in fat redistribution if you ever stop eating, but it may change as a whole.
00:07:45.560So, it's kind of, it's kind of, it kind of does have a benefit without the spironolactone, but you still want to take, you still probably would definitely want to take estrogen as much as you would like.
00:07:59.920I'm not complaining about the daily pills, just to be clear.
00:08:02.560I'm just saying, if it accelerates it, then it makes things faster, then that's better.
00:08:06.620Give me a little bit of history with your gender dysphoria.
00:08:19.340So, when I was, I was in school and I actually wrote a big essay for admission to a club about how I didn't feel like my biological sex went along with how I felt.
00:08:32.360And, and I told people that and they thought I was ridiculous.
00:08:35.640So, because they thought I just, I just look like a guy.
00:08:39.360Now, a couple of days after that discussion, as we document on Twitter, Plume sent Greg a letter diagnosing him with significant and ongoing gender dysphoria.
00:08:49.920Therefore, Plume said he was an appropriate candidate for ORCIEctomy.
00:08:53.880According to Plume, testicle removal would help Greg make significant progress in alleviating his dysphoria.
00:08:58.820Now, even after Greg followed up with text messages to Plume explaining that he doesn't have dysphoria, they didn't retract or amend that letter in any way.
00:09:10.460There's no excuse for that, obviously.
00:09:12.720Plume had multiple opportunities to tell the truth in their letter, and they chose not to.
00:09:17.420In his intake form, Greg indicated he didn't have dysphoria for six months or more.
00:09:23.240That means, under the current version of the DSM, he never should have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria in the first place.
00:09:30.880But Plume never once asked Greg about this in his video interview.
00:09:34.720Instead, they just said that he had dysphoria in the letter, which they intended to be used by a surgeon who would then carve up Greg's testicles.
00:09:42.260Why didn't Plume amend the letter once they were made aware that Greg didn't have dysphoria?
00:09:46.520As Plume's nurse explained, in order for the surgery to be paid for, quote-unquote, the diagnosis would need to remain.
00:09:54.700In other words, insurance companies won't pay for the operation unless the letter contains a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
00:10:02.240So they're going to put that diagnosis in there regardless.
00:10:05.860That's why Plume uses templates that include the gender dysphoria diagnostic code.
00:10:10.560It appears very much so that they plug whatever information patients feed them into this generic template, whether or not those patients actually have the diagnosis.
00:10:21.740The templates are provided by WPATH, by the way, and Plume admitted that to us.
00:10:26.220It's not hard to conclude that this operation is fraudulent.
00:10:57.560They're far from the only ones doing this.
00:11:00.020Folks, F-O-L-X, for example, is a major competitor of Plume.
00:11:04.620They're in almost every state in the country.
00:11:06.320They're also extremely well-funded by venture capitalists.
00:11:08.740Folks, like Plume, also sells letters that authorize surgeries under the WPATH guidelines.
00:11:14.580On their website, Folks admits, and I'm quoting,
00:11:16.740It's quite possible that the information in a letter may not be specific to you.
00:11:22.580For example, they may use a gender dysphoria diagnosis, but you really do not have dysphoria.
00:11:29.020You may not fit this diagnostic code exactly, but in some cases the code is needed in order for insurers to pay for the surgery.
00:11:37.200Now, we reached out to folks to ask them about this, and they confirmed that a diagnosis, which they put in scare quotes, was necessary in order for insurance companies to pay out.
00:11:52.180Again, that's probably news to the insurance companies, but the bigger issue, of course, is what's happening to the patients who are mutilated as part of this process.
00:11:59.080It's not just Plume and folks who are authorizing surgeries like this.
00:12:02.560There's a whole network of doctors who crank out these letters.
00:12:05.920It's called the Gender Affirmative Letter Access Project, or Gallup.
00:12:10.200Think of the lives that these doctors and these companies are destroying for profit.
00:12:14.760Listen, if they will approve Greg for castration in 22 minutes after he said he doesn't have dysphoria,
00:17:01.480Florida recently passed a law outlawing, among other things, trans telehealth services that require in-person visits for most of these procedures.
00:17:10.140That's a start, which is why the media and trans activists are furious about it.
00:17:14.660They're probably going to sue to block that portion of law, just like they blocked the part of the law outlawing child castration yesterday.
00:17:20.420But once people see the truth about what's happening, the radical gender activists won't win that fight.
00:17:27.660That's why we published our investigation today.
00:19:19.480A federal judge on Tuesday concluded gender identity is real in a ruling that partially strikes down Florida's new law banning doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors.
00:19:29.000Which we just mentioned this ruling briefly in the monologue.
00:19:33.960Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction against Senate Bill 254, which also criminalizes permanent mutilating surgical procedures and mandates that a healthcare practitioner's license be terminated if they violate the law.
00:19:45.400Hinkle wrote in a 44-page ruling, the elephant in the room should be noted at the outset.
00:19:52.140Despite the defense admissions, there are those who believe that cisgender individuals properly adhere to their natal sex and that transgender individuals have inappropriately chosen a contrary gender identity, male or female, just as one might choose to read, whether to read Shakespeare or Grisham.
00:20:09.340Hinkle's ruling centered around two 11-year-old girls and one 8-year-old boy whose parents filed a lawsuit against the state's Surgeon General, arguing that banning this stuff, the puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
00:20:26.180Well, that's really interesting and horrifying.
00:20:34.140But at the same time, we're told that, well, they're not doing these things to children that young.
00:20:39.340Well, yeah, well, parents of an 8-year-old sued so they'd be able to mutilate their child, and a judge agreed with them.
00:20:47.420Did they do that because this never happens?
00:20:51.620So this is just a flat-out activist judge, trans-activist judge.
00:20:55.980Now, this judge has a long history of judicial activism, siding with leftists on spurious grounds, to say the least.
00:21:05.260And in this case, making no effort to hide it, using made-up nonsense terms like cisgender in his legal opinion, declaring that gender identity is real, which is a statement that means nothing.
00:21:21.000What do you mean gender identity is real?
00:22:39.640And this is, in a very literal sense, all of the terms that they use in relation to this issue, all of them are nonsensical, and they can't define any of them.
00:22:51.340So when they talk about gender identity, gender expression, they use a phrase, a term like trans woman, and you try to get them to explain what exactly all of that is, it immediately falls apart into total nonsense.
00:23:23.540This is not a story yet, not a headline yet, but it will be.
00:23:29.460We got an email from some reporters at Rolling Stone, and my team got an email from reporters at Rolling Stone, and this is an email from someone named Nikki McCann Ramirez.
00:23:44.180And when they sent me this email, I recognized that name.
00:23:48.800I wasn't sure where I recognized it from, and I looked it up, and okay, sure enough, Nikki McCann Ramirez used to be a shill over at Media Matters, and then she left Media Matters at some point, and now is a shill for Rolling Stone.
00:24:01.120So, it's like, Media Matters, obviously, far-left activist group.
00:24:06.340Rolling Stone brings her over as a reporter.
00:24:11.700Here's the email, because this is kind of funny.
00:24:14.960And this also shows you, this is how these people operate, okay?
00:24:17.080And any time, like, any time you read a hit piece about someone, a conservative, in one of these corporate media outlets, and it'll always say something like, we reached out to so-and-so, but didn't get a comment.
00:24:32.780And they put that in there, and then it's supposed to make it look like, oh, that person's hiding.
00:24:49.420My name is Nikki McCann Ramirez, and I'm a politics reporter with Rolling Stone.
00:24:53.620We're reaching out because my colleague, E.J. Dixon, and I are working on a piece about right-wing influencers increasingly focused on posting transphobic content, and we're citing Mr. Matt Walsh as an example.
00:25:03.960As we have noticed, he has centered much of his content around transgender individuals in the past several years.
00:25:08.280Would he like to provide comment regarding why he has made this topic an area of focus and what initially drew his attention to it?
00:25:14.080Please let us know by tomorrow, EOD, if Mr. Walsh would like to add anything to our piece.
00:25:20.340Hey, we're about to publish a hit piece, and there's zero chance of it being objective or anything, and we don't care about Mr. Walsh's perspective in the least.
00:25:30.980It's an article all about how he's a transphobic bigot.
00:25:33.740Would he like to contribute to his own hit piece?
00:25:35.660I mean, never mind the fact that, and they haven't published the article yet, but I'm going to assume that they're not going to put any disclaimer on the article noting that the journalists, quote-unquote, involved in this article, used to work at Media Matters, are far-left ideologues, and are on the record personally hating the people they're reporting on.
00:25:58.720They're not going to – there's going to be no disclaimer, no qualifications there.
00:26:07.840Well, I did offer a response on Twitter anyway, and I said – and this is, you know, and this goes in general to any media outlet that wants to publish a hit piece on me.
00:26:18.580And, you know, you're welcome to do it.
00:26:21.180I'm always happy for all the coverage.
00:26:23.960If you want me to contribute to it and you want my comment, I'm also happy to provide comment if you can first answer my question that I've been asking, which is, you know, if you can provide a definition of the word woman, then I will give you a comment.
00:26:55.160We'll see if they take me up on the offer.
00:26:58.440Speaking of far-left organizations, the Human Rights Campaign put out a press release yesterday, and it got a lot of coverage, as expected.
00:27:06.620Here's the headline of the press release.
00:27:12.140For the first time ever, Human Rights Campaign officially declares state of emergency for LGBTQ plus Americans, issues national warning and guidebook to ensure safety for LGBTQ residents and travelers.
00:27:23.860It says, today, the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer civil rights organization, officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ plus people in the United States for the first time in its more than 40-year history, following an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ plus legislative assaults, sweeping state houses this year.
00:27:44.340State of emergency, because some people disagree with you.
00:27:49.740A state of emergency, because some people, there are states where you're not allowed to mutilate children anymore, which is absurd, obviously.
00:27:57.520But also, this is where we are now, where these leftist activist groups think that they can declare a state of emergency.
00:28:03.820Okay, so, okay, you know what, I declare one too.
00:28:07.740I'm also declaring a state of emergency.
00:28:10.260State of emergency, because of all the, it's, we have reached critical capacity with idiots, like those who work at the Human Rights Campaign and Media Matters and Rolling Stone.
00:28:19.020Due to the, the, just the sheer weight of all of this idiocy, it's threatening to break the idiot dam, and we're all going to be drowned in it.
00:28:29.680And so, I am also, right now, today, declaring a state of emergency, because that's apparently how it worked.
00:28:34.240Anyone can declare a state of emergency.
00:28:37.760Now, you know, I laugh about it, because I said, well, of course, they're not a government organization, so they can't declare a state of emergency.
00:28:43.320But in reality, they, they basically function like one.
00:28:48.740So maybe it's not a surprise that they think that they can make a declaration like this.
00:28:53.820Because the Human Rights Campaign, it's a far-left activist group, but they essentially operate like a quasi-governmental agency.
00:29:01.700And they've been given that kind of power and that kind of authority.
00:29:05.780So that now they think they can declare states of emergency.
00:29:07.880And we might get to the point where that actually does have some sort of weight behind it.
00:29:31.040You said in a speech in New Hampshire on Friday that you would not spend another dime of American money on a war that does not affect our interests.
00:29:40.160You don't think the possibility of Russia taking over Ukraine is in our interest?
00:29:45.060I don't think that's a top foreign policy priority.
00:29:47.000But I did also in that same speech identify what is our top priority.
00:33:38.680Here's another clip that's been going around.
00:33:40.960Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on a rant a couple days ago about how her faith leads her to support the mutilation of kids and other atrocities.
00:34:22.420There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care of people, no matter who they are on the grounds of what their identity is.
00:34:33.020There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital.
00:34:38.200There's nothing holy about rejecting a child from a family.
00:34:44.040There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.
00:34:49.080And I am tired of communities of being of faith, being weaponized, and being mischaracterized, because the only time religious freedom is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination.
00:35:20.460On that last bit anyway, it is up to us to protect children, including protecting them from being sterilized and castrated, you freak, you disgusting monster.
00:35:30.020I agree that we should never reject medical care to anyone.
00:35:33.180But if somebody needs medical care, you know, they need to get medical care.
00:35:36.120And there should never be any law, certainly never, should never be any law that would prohibit anyone from getting medical care.
00:35:45.400However, castrating and sterilizing people, especially kids, but really anybody, is not medical care.
00:35:52.620It's not care, and it's not, there's nothing medical going on here.
00:35:56.740Medicine is about healing and treating and curing.
00:38:30.560Speaking of demented freaks, finally, this is from Fox.
00:38:33.220Sam Britton, the embattled former senior Department of Energy official, was arrested as a fugitive from justice by Maryland police late Wednesday.
00:38:40.880According to county records reviewed by Fox News Digital, Britton was taken into custody in Rockville.
00:38:46.280A spokesperson for the Mitch Parleton Washington Airport Authority, which is the lead law enforcement agency for both Washington, D.C. area airports, said that the arrest was related to the theft of airport luggage, which is the third such criminal case involving Britton.
00:39:15.020But the story is that we have a third case now.
00:39:18.400This is a third case of Sam Britton stealing a woman's luggage.
00:39:21.860And, you know, I love this whole story because it's hilarious and it's also embarrassing for the Biden administration if they were capable of being embarrassed.
00:39:29.560But I also like it because it exposes the absurdity of the idea, an idea that really needs to be exposed, which is that somehow a person's personal life, you know, their proclivities, their fetishes that they engage in, all that stuff.
00:39:42.240That somehow that's irrelevant to the rest of them and that we can't make any broader judgments about a person and about their character just based on their sexual interests, we're told.
00:39:58.780It was guaranteed, based on this guy's sexual proclivities and his personal life, guaranteed that he would be involved in all kinds of weird and disturbing and probably illegal behavior.
00:40:14.340That's why the first time you heard about him stealing luggage, even though it's such a bizarre crime to commit, everyone heard that and they thought, well, okay, that makes sense for him.
00:40:42.900Like, you don't need to know anything else about them.
00:40:45.380Every single thing you need to know is contained right there and you can make all the judgments in the world about them just based on that.
00:42:16.440Well, I went to the comments today, and every single comment has to do with the alien story, which is just how it worked out because that's the thing that the audience cares the most about.
00:42:28.540Either it's because of that or because I cherry-picked and looked for only the alien-related comments.
00:42:35.460You know, I can confirm nor deny either way.
00:42:38.800But there's one comment that says, I used to believe in aliens until the government started openly acknowledging their existence.
00:42:43.720Yeah, and that's, and I hear this a lot, this claim, but if that's how you're making these judgments, and I don't really blame you, I mean, that is a healthy instinct to have.
00:42:55.340At this point, where the government officially declares something, and so you're automatically skeptical, it's a very healthy attitude to have, absolutely.
00:43:05.920But then you should be interested to know that the government has not officially declared any of this.
00:43:10.580And in fact, in an official capacity, has still denied it.
00:43:13.620The Pentagon put out a statement yesterday denying what that whistleblower said.
00:43:45.940And, you know, we're way past the point where they can say, oh, it was a weather balloon or, hey, it was swamp gas in the atmosphere or whatever.
00:44:05.320Yeah, I've heard that quote before, and I really disagree with it.
00:44:19.960I think that I think the former possibility is certainly more terrifying, at least more depressing, you know.
00:44:29.260To me, and this is not why I've come to the conclusion I have on this topic, but, you know, the idea of a vast, endless universe that spans gazillions and gazillions of miles with billions of galaxies in it,
00:44:44.120and that it's completely empty except for us alone on this one little rock spinning around one, you know, mid-sized star in a nondescript solar system, you know, in some backwater of the galaxy, like that we are alone completely.
00:45:09.280I'm not saying it's 100% that we're not.
00:45:10.500But to me, I find that certainly a lot more depressing.
00:45:15.760The idea that we're not alone, I don't think that's terrifying at all.
00:45:20.180B. Yen says, I love how the human race has become so jaded that the potential discovery of extraterrestrial life doesn't even phase us as a species.
00:45:27.780It is, that is what is most terrifying at all.
00:45:30.100That's the most terrifying thing, is that this doesn't, like we talked about yesterday, that this doesn't even register.
00:45:49.460No, I, honest to God, it's not even a joke anymore.
00:45:52.780I think that we, that a UFO could actually just land in full view of everyone and there could be cameras live streaming it and the aliens could get off their ships and say, hi, we're aliens or whatever they would say.
00:46:09.780Probably not that, but that could happen and it would trend for maybe a day and a half.
00:46:16.340And then people will be arguing about something else.
00:46:19.260Christian says, I can't speak for everyone, but ultimately my don't care is that this has been a thing for as long as I've lived.
00:46:25.800There's always a whistleblower, some new big deal story, some top clearance person saying this.
00:46:30.680My personal stance is I'll believe it when I see it.
00:46:32.480Until then, I don't care to waste mental energy and time listening to rumors that have yet to be shown as anything but rumors.
00:47:04.800No matter how you, where you fall on the issue, whether you're skeptical or not, or you rule out the possibility or whatever it is, how can you not at least find it interesting?
00:47:16.660And you say that it's just noise and like, okay, but we live in a culture that it's nothing but noise all the time.
00:47:26.900And people are talking about things that are incredibly uninteresting all the time, that dominate people's attention.
00:47:36.000Like just today, for example, the big, if you go on social media, the big story is that the CEO of, or the president of CNN is stepping down.
00:48:00.640Like, there's nothing less interesting than that.
00:48:03.640And yet that gets more attention than a whistleblower from, you know, with classified information coming out and saying, we have, we have space aliens in our possession that crash landed on Earth.
00:49:02.800If you're looking for something interesting to watch, check out our series, What We Saw, hosted by storyteller Bill Whittle.

00:49:11.440In episode 13, President Nixon's visit to China introduces a three-power dynamic,
00:49:15.340but the Watergate scandal undermines his administration and diminishes American morale.
00:49:19.820The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan further exposes American weakness.
00:49:22.800In this context, an older president brings renewed optimism, youthful vigor, and a plan to end the Cold War and achieve victory after four decades of stalemate.
00:49:31.160Bill makes you feel like you're there witnessing history.

00:49:44.940Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:49:50.500A few weeks ago, the writers in Hollywood went on strike.
00:49:53.360And for the most part, as a member of the audience, you can't really tell the difference.
00:49:56.140Most movie studios, you know, generate their films using AI chatbots anyway, I assume.
00:50:01.560Superhero movies don't have any writers at all, since every film is exactly the same as every other film.
00:50:06.680One guy wrote a superhero movie 45 years ago, and every other one has just been a version of that one.
00:50:13.100Overall, the writers are obsolete in Hollywood.
00:50:16.980It's like if I told you that the master carpenter at your local IKEA store was going on strike.
00:50:21.220It would make sense, because IKEA doesn't need carpenters.
00:50:23.720Their mass-produced junk is made to look like all the other mass-produced junk.
00:50:28.480And that's how Hollywood has operated for a long time.
00:50:30.380But there have been rare occasions recently where you can still really feel the absence of the writers.
00:50:38.320Times when Hollywood has come out with something that obviously needed to be workshopped in the writer's room for a little while longer.
00:50:48.700Ellen Page, the actress who now calls herself Elliot Page and identifies as a man,
00:50:53.860has just revealed an alleged hate crime that she experienced last year.
00:50:57.980She didn't tell us about this event until right now, right when she has a book coming out, which, you know, the timing, I'm sure, is a coincidence.
00:51:04.580An article in interview and an interview in the LA Times recounts this terrible experience.
00:51:09.640And yet here, downstairs at his Sunset Strip hotel, he is less than a mile from the spot where a man on the street threatened to assault him just last year.
00:51:18.640As he describes in his book, Page, who lives in New York, was standing at the corner of Sunset and La Cienega, I think that's right,
00:51:25.580taking a quick walk to the Pink Dot convenience store when a stranger approached him.
00:51:29.960I'm going to effing gay bash you, gay slur, the man threatened.
00:51:36.160Terrified, Page began running toward Pink Dot, where employees ushered him inside.
00:51:41.720On the other side of the door, the man yelled, this is why I need a gun.
00:51:45.600Quote, now when I'm in Los Angeles, I don't feel comfortable like I used to going for walks, Page says.
00:51:50.040Yes, as a right-wing bigot myself, I can attest that this is exactly how we talk.
