00:01:21.240 The rule of law is how we address our social issues, how we address our...

00:01:31.520 Hill reports a federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely blocked implementation of President Trump's executive order,

00:01:38.720 effectively barring transgender people from serving openly in the military,

00:01:42.440 a stark blow to the administration's efforts to curb transgender rights.

00:01:46.060 U.S. District Judge Anna Rice, an appointee of former President Biden,

00:01:51.640 barred Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other military officials from implementing Trump's order

00:01:55.020 or otherwise putting new policy into place, effectuating it.

00:01:58.740 She also said the plaintiff's military statuses must remain unchanged until further order of the court.

00:02:04.540 The judge said her order intends to maintain the status quo of military policy regarding transgender service

00:02:09.180 that existed before Trump signed the order titled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness.

00:02:14.300 She stayed her order until Friday to give the administration time to appeal.

00:02:19.480 Trump's order suggests that transgender people cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service

00:02:25.400 because they threaten the lethality of the armed forces and undermine unit cohesion,

00:02:30.320 an argument long used to keep marginalized communities from serving.

00:02:32.960 So a little bit more editorializing from the Hill in this what is supposed to be a

00:02:37.880 supposed to be a news article.

00:02:41.440 The executive order states a man's assertion that he's a woman and his requirement that others honor this falsehood

00:02:46.460 is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.

00:02:50.980 The judge wrote in her opinion that the president has both the power and obligation to ensure military readiness,

00:02:55.220 but noted that leaders of the armed forces have long used that justification to, quote,

00:03:00.440 deny marginalized persons the privilege of serving. 1.00

00:03:04.720 OK, so Trump, you know, the guy that, you know, who actually runs the country and runs the military,

00:03:10.700 that guy, the president of the United States, I think, is the title that he uses.

00:03:15.560 Trump believes that it threatens unit cohesion and military readiness to have people in the military

00:03:21.100 who are totally disconnected from reality, people who are not living in the real world, 0.79

00:03:26.940 people who are in some fantasy land of their own mental construction.

00:03:31.500 He thinks that having people like that in the military is a threat to unit cohesion

00:03:35.640 and the lethality of our forces.

00:03:37.880 That's what Trump thinks.

00:03:39.280 This random federal judge happens to personally disagree.

00:03:45.140 She personally feels that it's actually a great idea to invite people in who are deeply confused

00:03:49.740 about the basic facts of our physical reality and to invite them into the military.

00:03:54.680 That's how she feels.

00:03:56.360 So the two of them feel different different ways about it.

00:04:00.000 Now, obviously, Trump is right.

00:04:02.700 He's correct about this.

00:04:05.580 Clearly, yes, when you have a man in the military who is pretending to be a woman, 0.98

00:04:10.620 that does, among other things, threaten the cohesion of everyone else in his unit.

00:04:15.860 You know, we want everyone in the military to be focused solely on defending the country

00:04:21.800 and killing the enemy.

00:04:22.680 That's what the military is for.

00:04:25.040 That's their job.

00:04:27.040 That should be their sole focus.

00:04:29.040 Anything that does not assist in that effort, anything that is not pointed at that objective,

00:04:37.200 anything that doesn't advance the mission is not good.

00:04:41.160 Their focus should then not be on affirming some guy's female self-identity. 0.92

00:04:49.020 And for the trans people themselves, we know that their top priority, personally,

00:04:52.620 will never be defending the nation and killing the bad guy.

00:04:55.640 Their top priority will always be the affirmation and reinforcement of their false identities.

00:04:59.860 You know, if I showed up to the recruitment office to sign up for the Army or the Marines,

00:05:06.820 and I was filling out the paperwork, and on the paperwork, I wrote that I'm a zebra,

00:05:12.740 I would not be accepted into the military.

00:05:15.640 And nobody would expect that I would be.

00:05:18.320 Even if I said the fact that I'm a zebra is not a major focus of mine.

00:05:22.580 Even if I said, you know, I'm a zebra, but it's not a big deal.

00:05:25.440 But, you know, it's just I happen to be one.

00:05:27.480 I happen to be a zebra.

00:05:28.680 I don't make a big thing of it.

00:05:29.860 But just so you guys know, before I sign up, I want you to know I am a zebra.

00:05:36.060 Even if I'm a patriot, I want to fight for the country.

00:05:41.380 Even if that was the case.

00:05:43.800 I say, don't worry, I won't make a big thing of it.

00:05:45.700 I just happen to be a zebra.

00:05:47.900 None of that would matter.

00:05:49.740 Having someone in the unit who thinks he's a zebra is a completely unnecessary and totally egregious distraction.

00:05:56.660 Not to mention that there are now very serious questions about my own stability and my own mental clarity and resilience.

00:06:04.340 How can the United States government issue me a weapon as a man who thinks I'm a zebra?

00:06:09.780 And why would they do this?

00:06:10.920 Yes, there might be some recruitment shortages and that situation is getting better.

00:06:17.100 But there are still plenty of potential recruits out there who don't think that they're zebras. 0.82

00:06:23.060 So we don't need to start recruiting from the zoo just yet.

00:06:26.100 So that's why Trump's order makes sense.

00:06:30.280 For that reason.

00:06:33.020 But here's the thing.

00:06:35.220 All of that is almost irrelevant, really.

00:06:40.340 The fact that Trump is right on the merits here is...

00:06:45.100 It's good that he's right.

00:06:47.480 But when it comes to what this judge is doing, it's almost irrelevant.

00:06:53.880 Because the point is that Trump runs the military.

00:06:58.520 He's the commander-in-chief.

00:07:01.300 He's allowed to determine these kinds of policies.

00:07:03.940 You don't have to agree with them.

00:07:06.020 You don't have to agree with the way that he operates as commander-in-chief.

00:07:09.780 But he is the commander-in-chief.

00:07:12.180 The fact that the judge personally disagrees with his policy is totally irrelevant.

00:07:19.160 Because she doesn't get to determine the policy for military recruitment. 0.98

00:07:23.780 She is not the president.

00:07:25.300 These judges are not the president.

00:07:28.440 So if you're on the left and you're listening to this, try to understand.

00:07:31.920 Try to understand this very basic point.

00:07:36.700 These judges are not the president.

00:07:39.780 Which means there must be some powers that the president has that the judges don't.

00:07:48.740 Because if there's nothing, if the judges can just override anything Trump does with the stroke of a pen,

00:07:56.980 then the judges are all the president altogether.

00:08:00.740 Each federal judge is the president.

00:08:02.840 The branches of government.

00:08:07.820 For all these leftists who are going on about constitutional crisis.

00:08:11.580 Like, what do you know about the Constitution?

00:08:13.240 And since when did you give a damn about it anyway?

00:08:18.000 You know what the Constitution says?

00:08:19.200 The Constitution says that the branches of the government are co-equal.

00:08:22.280 Separate but equal.

00:08:23.040 Have you heard about that phrase?

00:08:24.460 Hopefully you'll learn that in civics and grade school.

00:08:30.000 Which means that judges cannot supersede the president in every case.

00:08:36.780 None of these people were voted into office to set policy.

00:08:39.960 None of these people were voted into office at all.

00:08:43.180 These are unelected judges trying to override not just the president, but the will of the people.

00:08:48.040 The people voted for Trump so that he would put policies like this in place.

00:08:54.200 Yes, even the trans ban in the military.

00:08:56.400 Trump put that in place in his first term.

00:08:58.640 People that voted for him knew that.

00:09:02.280 You know, when you vote for a guy who was already in office once, what you're saying, your message is,

00:09:06.840 yeah, I'd like more of that.

00:09:08.420 I want him to continue doing what he was, I might want him to do other things as well,

00:09:12.520 but I approve of how he governed, and I'd like to have more of that, please.

00:09:19.600 That's what the voters are saying.

00:09:21.280 You ever feel too busy to make healthy choices?

00:09:23.240 Do you find yourself too tired at the end of the day to cook a healthy meal

00:09:26.040 and find yourself frequenting your favorite drive-thru more than you would like?

00:09:30.300 Well, you're not alone, trust me.

00:09:31.880 Life can make it hard to make healthy choices sometimes,

00:09:34.520 but there is one option that even the busiest person can make some time for,

00:10:26.180 Daily Wire reports, FBI Director Cash Patel said on Friday

00:10:29.060 that federal agents arrested a Milwaukee County, Wisconsin judge

00:10:32.640 who was suspected of helping an illegal immigrant from Mexico

00:10:34.980 evade immigration and customs enforcement officers.

00:10:37.320 Last week, ICE agents showed up at a Milwaukee County courthouse

00:10:40.540 to arrest a Mexican citizen after a hearing before Judge Hannah Dugan.

00:10:44.980 The judge directed ICE agents to wait in Chief Judge Carl Ashley's office

00:10:48.760 and then told the defendant to exit the courtroom through a side door.

00:10:53.840 Patel said in a post,

00:10:54.900 We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject

00:10:59.820 to be arrested in a courthouse.

00:11:01.860 Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot

00:11:03.940 and he's been in custody since,

00:11:05.680 but the judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public.

00:11:09.460 The FBI Director added that the Bureau would share more information soon

00:11:12.480 and thanked the FBI's Milwaukee Field Office for its work in arresting the judge.

00:11:16.700 Pam Bondi, Attorney General, also confirmed it on X saying,

00:11:24.340 I can confirm that our FBI agents just arrested Hannah Dugan,

00:11:27.020 the county judge in Milwaukee,

00:11:28.180 for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest by ICE.

00:11:32.060 No one is above the law.

00:11:34.320 So this is great.

00:11:35.720 I mean, this is exactly what we've been waiting for, what we need.

00:11:41.860 Holding these kinds of people accountable.

00:11:43.600 And of course, the media is treating this like it's a nuclear catastrophe,

00:11:47.620 but these are the same people who cheered for years

00:11:49.740 while a former president was arrested multiple times.

00:11:53.400 So we don't need to take their protests seriously at all.

00:11:57.160 This judge allegedly obstructed the enforcement of immigration law

00:12:00.420 and stood in the way of the law being enforced.

00:12:06.380 If the allegations are true, then it's a flagrant,

00:12:10.360 not even a borderline case.

00:12:12.240 I don't even know what a borderline case like this would look like,

00:12:14.480 but whatever it is, it's not this.

00:12:17.400 If this is what she, in fact, did,

00:12:18.940 which was like tell the ICE agents to go wait over there

00:12:21.160 and then sneak this guy out the back entrance,

00:12:24.560 you're trying to help a fugitive, essentially, escape justice.

00:12:30.540 And if that's the case, then she committed a crime,

00:12:33.460 she should be prosecuted, she should be convicted,

00:12:36.040 and then also sent to prison.

00:12:38.240 So it's important that every part of this happen.

00:12:40.840 This is the first step.

00:12:44.220 But if it's not seen through to the end, including prison time,

00:12:48.660 then it will have the opposite of the effect that's intended.

00:12:54.220 Because this should be a kind of a warning shot.

00:12:57.640 This should be making an example of this person that

00:13:01.620 we don't care if you're a judge,

00:13:04.020 we don't care if you're a mayor, a governor.

00:13:05.460 We have borders in this country.

00:13:08.620 We have immigration law.

00:13:10.340 And you are not entitled to defy it whenever you feel like.

00:13:17.880 So this is an opportunity to make an example out of someone.

00:13:21.560 But if she ends up getting off the hook,

00:13:25.440 if she ends up just getting a slap on the wrist,

00:13:27.400 then you've done the opposite of making an example.

00:13:30.660 You've made an example, but it's the wrong kind of example.

00:13:34.160 So she needs to go to prison if she is, in fact, guilty. 0.98

00:13:37.200 And if you want to know more about this judge, Hannah Dugan,

00:13:39.620 here's a clip of her from, I think, recently,

00:13:44.140 not in relation to this case,

00:13:45.880 but her just sort of talking about her judicial philosophy, I suppose.

00:13:50.660 Listen to this.

00:13:51.640 The rule of law is how we address our social issues,

00:13:57.580 how we address our disputes,

00:14:00.440 but also how we grow as people.

00:14:03.260 The rule of law is premised on equal justice,

00:14:06.420 but also we have evolved into due process.

00:14:09.660 And it's really the due process.

00:14:12.020 I, as a person who, for a couple decades,

00:14:16.060 almost represented low-income people,

00:14:19.020 it is due process that really equalizes

00:14:21.760 those differences between people.

00:14:24.960 If we follow the rule of law,

00:14:26.520 which includes processing our cases

00:14:29.440 in an orderly manner, in a predictable manner,

00:14:33.200 in a manner that holds people to standards,

00:14:36.800 then we're able to achieve that equal justice

00:14:41.080 that we are promised and hope to have

00:14:44.180 continue despite our differences,

00:14:49.300 despite our class differences,

00:14:51.860 despite our racial and religious differences.

00:14:54.580 The Milwaukee Courthouse has, for decades,

00:14:56.760 been known to really attempt innovations,

00:15:00.020 apply the traditional law,

00:15:01.880 but also look at solutions that are more complicated

00:15:05.200 because these cases that involve, say, veterans

00:15:08.420 or mental health patients or children

00:15:12.600 are more complicated than what the law can address.

00:15:16.760 The solutions or the sanctions

00:15:18.580 or the punishment or the sentences

00:15:22.240 are fashioned more towards

00:15:25.220 addressing the global issues involved in the case,

00:15:29.760 such as violence or mental health issues

00:15:33.860 or drug treatment issues,

00:15:35.200 rather than punishing outright.

00:15:37.980 Okay, excruciating, but that's kind of

00:15:40.840 a perfect video in many ways

00:15:43.340 because it's a perfect representation

00:15:44.780 of the kinds of woke judges

00:15:46.680 that are destroying our communities,

00:15:48.380 destroying our country.

00:15:49.300 So much violence and chaos

00:15:51.880 comes from these kinds of people.

00:15:54.620 But when you listen to her

00:15:55.880 and you're not paying attention to the content,

00:15:59.740 she sounds very unobjectionable.

00:16:02.040 She's got, you've got the elevator piano music

00:16:04.540 in the background.

00:16:06.380 It's just this old lady who sounds 1.00

00:16:08.300 and looks like a DMV employee

00:16:10.060 babbling in almost a whispered tone,

00:16:14.460 kind of monotone,

00:16:15.640 talking about helping the less fortunate

00:16:18.340 or whatever,

00:16:19.340 not ranting and raving,

00:16:20.840 not foaming at the mouth,

00:16:21.820 nothing like that.

00:16:23.800 There's nothing on the surface

00:16:25.080 that sort of screams radical to you.

00:16:29.760 And yet her ideology is extremely radical

00:16:32.920 and it has caused untold harm.

00:16:37.380 I mean, this woman is a conqueror and destroyer. 0.96

00:16:40.900 Women and everyone like her. 0.99

00:16:43.560 Our society has been conquered and destroyed

00:16:45.660 by these kinds of women. 1.00

00:16:46.840 Not only women, but many of them are. 1.00

00:16:50.700 This is like, she's like the Genghis Khan of our time. 0.96

00:16:53.520 That's what our Genghis Khan looks like, unfortunately. 0.95

00:16:55.680 Like a middle school lunch lady. 1.00

00:16:57.860 So what is she actually saying?

00:16:59.660 Well, you kind of have to understand the code.

00:17:01.500 You have to know a bit about

00:17:02.440 how to translate woke jargon into English.

00:17:05.540 And she says that the Milwaukee courthouse

00:17:07.580 is innovating.

00:17:09.480 Well, that's a red flag number one.

00:17:11.460 We don't want judges to innovate.

00:17:13.100 Innovation is not what we want

00:17:15.240 from the judicial system.

00:17:17.380 We want you to enforce the law.

00:17:19.000 We want you to punish the offenders.

00:17:21.380 We don't really want innovation.

00:17:23.860 And then she says that,

00:17:25.160 well, we're focusing less on punishment.

00:17:28.140 And that, of course, is the major red flag.

00:17:29.960 That's the number one major red flag.

00:17:31.520 You hear this from a judge.

00:17:33.420 That's like the worst thing

00:17:34.520 you can hear from a judge.

00:17:36.240 But we're not focused on punishment.

00:17:39.500 It's like hearing a doctor say,

00:17:41.280 you know, I'm not as focused

00:17:42.340 on treating the actual disease.

00:17:44.420 I try to be more innovative.

00:17:46.000 I try to be more open-minded.

00:17:47.900 Some diseases are good.

00:17:50.640 No, treat the disease.

00:17:51.760 That's why you exist.

00:17:52.740 That's your whole job.

00:17:54.700 And as a job, as a judge,

00:17:56.960 your job is to punish.

00:17:59.900 Not to innovate.

00:18:00.820 Your job is to punish.

00:18:03.220 Now, that may not be your only job

00:18:05.260 in every case,

00:18:08.000 but that's really your main job.

00:18:11.900 Yes, it's to punish.

00:18:13.480 Not to bring about social change,

00:18:15.800 which she talks about in the longer clip.

00:18:17.820 Your job is to follow the law,

00:18:19.660 enforce it, and punish.

00:18:22.620 Your job is justice.

00:18:24.620 You are the justice system.

00:18:26.260 We're part of it.

00:18:26.920 And justice means punishment.

00:18:33.500 That's what it means.

00:18:37.140 So, when you hear that,

00:18:38.940 you automatically know

00:18:39.900 this is a,

00:18:42.040 despite how she comes off,

00:18:44.100 this is a dangerous radical.

00:18:47.140 And this is how our dangerous radicals

00:18:49.280 come off.

00:18:49.700 And this is someone who,

00:18:51.140 again, if she's guilty

00:18:51.900 of what she's been accused,

00:18:52.840 she deserves to go to prison. 1.00

00:18:55.040 The Post Millennial reports,

00:18:56.440 on Tuesday,

00:18:57.100 a federal judge struck down

00:18:58.240 a law from Florida

00:18:59.160 that bars minors 0.97

00:19:00.180 from getting puberty blockers

00:19:01.340 or cross-sex hormones

00:19:02.840 for sex treatment interventions

00:19:04.380 if a parent consents to treatment.

00:19:08.560 He compared the law

00:19:10.600 to discrimination

00:19:11.520 against minorities and women. 0.97

00:19:14.500 Senior Judge Robert Hinkle

00:19:15.920 stated in his opinion

00:19:16.740 that Florida went too far

00:19:17.980 by barring trans-identified minors 0.63

00:19:20.140 from being prescribed puberty blockers

00:19:21.500 and cross-sex hormones 0.78

00:19:22.280 if they have parental consent.

00:19:24.140 Hinkle, who was nominated

00:19:24.900 by Democratic President Bill Clinton,

00:19:26.420 quoted Martin Luther King Jr.

00:19:28.740 and compared getting the treatment

00:19:29.780 as a minor

00:19:30.440 to women and minorities

00:19:31.440 fighting for civil rights.

00:19:34.860 Hinkle said

00:19:35.500 in the over 100-page decision,

00:19:37.760 some transgender opponents

00:19:38.640 invoke religion

00:19:39.440 to support their position,

00:19:40.760 just as some once invoked religion

00:19:42.340 to support their racism

00:19:43.340 or misogyny.

00:19:44.920 Transgender opponents

00:19:45.580 are, of course,

00:19:46.200 free to hold their beliefs,

00:19:47.620 but they're not free

00:19:48.320 to discriminate

00:19:48.740 against transgender individuals 1.00

00:19:50.400 just for being transgender.

00:19:51.440 In time,

00:19:52.640 discrimination against

00:19:53.320 transgender individuals

00:19:54.100 will diminish

00:19:54.620 just as racism

00:19:55.380 and misogyny

00:19:55.920 have diminished.

00:19:57.160 To paraphrase a civil rights advocate

00:19:58.600 from an earlier time,

00:19:59.520 the arc of the moral universe

00:20:00.600 is long,

00:20:01.340 but it bends towards justice.

00:20:06.260 Governor Ron DeSantis

00:20:07.280 blasted the ruling,

00:20:08.200 saying,

00:20:08.780 through their elected representatives,

00:20:09.920 the people of Florida

00:20:10.520 acted to protect children

00:20:11.360 in the state.

00:20:12.260 The court was wrong

00:20:12.860 to override their wishes

00:20:13.640 as we've seen here in Florida,

00:20:14.540 the United Kingdom,

00:20:15.160 and across Europe.

00:20:16.140 There's no quality evidence

00:20:17.160 to support the chemical

00:20:17.980 and physical mutilation

00:20:18.620 of children.

00:20:19.080 These procedures

00:20:20.280 do permanent

00:20:20.860 life-altering damage

00:20:21.640 to children,

00:20:22.260 and history will look back

00:20:23.120 on this fad in horror.

00:20:27.480 And, of course,

00:20:28.080 he's right about that.

00:20:28.660 I have to tell you

00:20:29.040 that I sort of appreciate

00:20:30.320 this ruling.

00:20:31.340 I disagree with it,

00:20:32.160 obviously.

00:20:33.080 By disagree,

00:20:33.620 I think it's totally deranged,

00:20:35.720 both morally

00:20:36.300 and intellectually,

00:20:37.880 not to mention legally.

00:20:40.180 But I appreciate it

00:20:41.900 because, for one thing,

00:20:43.240 it just brings us closer

00:20:44.180 to the Supreme Court

00:20:45.040 ruling on this issue.

00:20:46.020 And I feel very confident

00:20:48.220 that,

00:20:49.220 and maybe I don't want

00:20:50.140 to jinx it,

00:20:50.980 but I feel very confident

00:20:51.860 that the current makeup

00:20:53.300 of the Supreme Court

00:20:53.940 will come to the right

00:20:55.380 conclusion on this.

00:20:56.620 I don't see the Supreme Court

00:20:57.940 when the time comes

00:21:00.020 and it will eventually.

00:21:02.040 I don't see the Supreme Court

00:21:02.700 ruling that parents

00:21:03.540 have a constitutional right

00:21:04.800 to have their children

00:21:06.300 sterilized.

00:21:07.640 I don't see that.

00:21:08.660 I appreciate the ruling

00:21:09.760 also because it's

00:21:11.080 so flimsy,

00:21:12.680 so weak,

00:21:14.080 so clearly

00:21:15.420 ideologically motivated

00:21:16.780 that it will not only

00:21:18.640 be easily overturned,

00:21:19.640 but it just continues

00:21:20.840 to expose the gender

00:21:22.200 ideologues for who they are.

00:21:24.480 I mean,

00:21:24.760 it's that ludicrous.

00:21:27.680 It's hard to even know

00:21:28.560 where to begin,

00:21:29.220 and this article only gives

00:21:30.140 a brief snippet

00:21:30.880 of the judge's ruling.

00:21:31.640 The New York Times article

00:21:32.460 on this ruling

00:21:32.960 has other snippets

00:21:34.280 just as absurd like this.

00:21:35.960 Reading now from

00:21:36.780 the decision,

00:21:38.440 the state of Florida

00:21:38.960 can regulate as needed,

00:21:40.260 but cannot flatly deny

00:21:41.480 transgender individuals

00:21:42.420 safe and effective

00:21:43.160 medical treatment,

00:21:44.380 treatment with medications

00:21:45.380 routinely provided to others

00:21:46.640 with the state's full approval

00:21:47.720 so long as the purpose

00:21:49.040 is not to support

00:21:49.680 the patient's

00:21:50.200 transgender identity.

00:21:54.960 Safe and effective.

00:21:57.120 Says who? 0.65

00:21:59.460 You know,

00:21:59.720 there's a reason,

00:22:00.440 as Governor DeSantis

00:22:01.820 alluded to,

00:22:02.800 there's a reason

00:22:03.340 these treatments

00:22:04.100 are being banned

00:22:05.220 across the world,

00:22:06.180 often by governments

00:22:06.940 that are otherwise

00:22:07.820 very sympathetic

00:22:08.920 to the leftist cause

00:22:10.880 and the LGBT cause

00:22:12.240 more broadly.

00:22:13.620 That's because there is

00:22:14.560 no reliable evidence

00:22:16.820 that these drugs,

00:22:18.540 when given to minors

00:22:19.300 for this purpose,

00:22:20.480 are safe or effective,

00:22:22.380 and lots of evidence

00:22:23.100 to the contrary,

00:22:23.820 not to mention

00:22:24.200 just basic common sense

00:22:25.420 that should already

00:22:28.060 reveal the truth

00:22:29.920 of this.

00:22:32.160 And besides,

00:22:32.700 effective at what exactly?

00:22:35.040 What are the drugs

00:22:36.220 supposed to be

00:22:37.020 effectively doing?

00:22:38.960 Can you explain that?

00:22:40.860 They're not effective

00:22:41.720 at changing

00:22:42.200 anyone's biology.

00:22:43.940 They're not effective

00:22:44.820 at changing males

00:22:45.820 into females. 0.57

00:22:48.200 So,

00:22:48.700 this is totally wrong,

00:22:49.500 but let's go back

00:22:49.980 to that bit

00:22:50.420 that the post-millennial

00:22:52.480 quoted.

00:22:55.000 Some transgender opponents

00:22:56.100 invoke religion

00:22:56.760 to support their position,

00:22:57.720 just as some once

00:22:58.440 invoked religion

00:22:59.180 to support their racism

00:23:00.080 and misogyny.

00:23:03.620 Transgender opponents

00:23:04.220 are, of course,

00:23:04.660 free to hold their beliefs.

00:23:06.000 To paraphrase

00:23:06.460 a civil rights advocate

00:23:07.100 from an earlier time,

00:23:07.760 the arc of the moral universe

00:23:08.680 is long,

00:23:09.320 but it bends towards justice.

00:23:10.280 So,

00:23:10.540 this is just full-on,

00:23:12.820 undisguised,

00:23:14.420 left-wing activism.

00:23:16.540 It's not a legal decision

00:23:17.580 at all.

00:23:18.960 Like,

00:23:19.520 what you read there

00:23:20.220 is indistinguishable

00:23:21.120 from what you might read

00:23:22.020 in an editorial

00:23:22.740 on Pink News

00:23:23.580 or something.

00:23:25.120 Let's start with the fact

00:23:25.880 that the transgender opponents,

00:23:28.360 quote-unquote,

00:23:28.760 meaning in this case,

00:23:29.380 people who are opposed

00:23:30.760 to transitioning minors,

00:23:32.960 those people,

00:23:34.560 us,

00:23:35.300 we actually don't invoke religion

00:23:37.940 as our primary argument.

00:23:39.560 I very rarely hear that.

00:23:43.180 I rarely hear anyone

00:23:44.620 on our side

00:23:45.500 of this debate

00:23:46.420 do that.

00:23:47.260 when two people

00:23:50.260 are arguing about

00:23:51.200 whether it's a good idea

00:23:52.480 to give,

00:23:53.000 quote-unquote,

00:23:53.320 puberty blockers to minors 0.62

00:23:54.420 or whether it's a good idea

00:23:55.200 to perform cosmetic

00:23:56.020 double mastectomies 0.89

00:23:56.700 on minors,

00:23:57.420 I rarely hear the person

00:23:59.440 on the right side

00:24:00.340 of that debate,

00:24:01.940 I rarely hear them say,

00:24:03.840 well,

00:24:04.040 you shouldn't do that

00:24:04.580 because God says it's bad.

00:24:06.760 Now,

00:24:07.260 it's true that God

00:24:08.180 does say that it's bad.

00:24:09.840 It's a true statement.

00:24:11.740 But,

00:24:13.140 I don't,

00:24:13.660 we don't need to invoke

00:24:15.020 religion at that point

00:24:16.340 of the discussion

00:24:16.980 for the same reason

00:24:17.840 that we don't need

00:24:18.380 to invoke religion

00:24:19.120 to explain

00:24:19.840 that three times three

00:24:21.400 equals nine.

00:24:24.240 Now,

00:24:25.120 I mean,

00:24:25.460 you could,

00:24:26.360 but it's,

00:24:28.360 that doesn't need

00:24:29.980 to be your first argument.

00:24:32.460 In fact,

00:24:33.240 it's usually the other side

00:24:34.680 that brings religion

00:24:37.080 into the conversation.

00:24:38.180 this judge is,

00:24:41.280 this judge does it right here.

00:24:43.440 He has no evidence-based argument,

00:24:46.700 no scientific argument.

00:24:48.780 He has only a moral argument.

00:24:51.200 It's a completely unhinged moral argument,

00:24:53.920 but that's all he has.

00:24:55.280 And so,

00:24:59.860 and he is the one

00:25:00.940 which we find so often

00:25:02.760 with the left

00:25:03.240 that

00:25:03.540 when they are,

00:25:06.480 when they're arguing

00:25:07.200 against the so-called

00:25:08.220 social conservatives

00:25:09.060 on,

00:25:10.560 on one of the

00:25:11.160 so-called social issues,

00:25:12.620 they will

00:25:14.520 always accuse us

00:25:16.400 of,

00:25:17.540 you know,

00:25:18.020 bringing the Bible

00:25:18.800 into it.

00:25:19.660 Not that,

00:25:20.320 not that it's wrong

00:25:21.480 to bring the Bible

00:25:22.380 into a conversation,

00:25:23.240 but the point is that

00:25:24.200 they will do it

00:25:25.780 much quicker,

00:25:26.900 actually,

00:25:28.120 generally,

00:25:28.580 than we will

00:25:28.980 in these conversations.

00:25:30.020 And in this case,

00:25:30.620 we also get the quote

00:25:31.660 from Martin Luther King Jr.

00:25:35.220 By the way,

00:25:36.560 how do you think

00:25:38.160 that any of the

00:25:39.160 civil rights

00:25:40.220 leaders

00:25:41.380 of the mid-20th century

00:25:42.900 or before,

00:25:44.920 how do you think

00:25:45.540 any of them would feel

00:25:46.340 about puberty blockers

00:25:47.520 for children?

00:25:50.800 Like,

00:25:51.140 what,

00:25:51.600 is there any indication

00:25:52.580 that any of them

00:25:54.100 believed that gender

00:25:55.900 was fluid?

00:25:57.700 If Martin Luther King Jr.

00:25:58.800 was around today

00:25:59.420 and you asked him,

00:26:00.560 is gender fluid? 1.00

00:26:02.480 Like,

00:26:02.760 what do you think

00:26:03.080 he would say to that?

00:26:05.720 And if there was

00:26:06.540 that belief

00:26:07.180 among the civil rights

00:26:08.900 leaders of the,

00:26:09.660 of the,

00:26:10.460 of history,

00:26:12.240 then why didn't,

00:26:14.360 why didn't they

00:26:14.700 ever say it?

00:26:15.840 Like,

00:26:16.240 it never came up

00:26:16.740 one time.

00:26:17.640 They never mentioned it.

00:26:19.620 So,

00:26:22.580 rinse takes your laundry

00:26:25.200 and hand delivers it

00:26:26.180 to your door,

00:26:27.140 expertly cleaned

00:26:27.920 and folded.

00:26:28.720 So you could take

00:26:29.380 the time once spent

00:26:30.240 folding and sorting

00:26:31.300 and waiting

00:26:31.860 to finally pursue

00:26:32.960 a whole new version

00:26:33.980 of you.
