00:00:02.860 Someone is trying to frame us.
00:00:05.160 Until our names are cleared.
00:00:07.700 We're fugitives from interval.
00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.
00:00:12.840 Espionage?
00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?
00:00:16.540 Better.
00:00:17.380 Is there love language?
00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno-thriller
00:00:21.360 and romantic comedy.
00:00:24.180 We make up our own rules.
00:00:25.940 NCIS Tony and Ziva.
00:00:27.400 Now streaming on Paramount Plus.
00:00:30.660 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:32.540 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:42.140 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:00:43.840 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:45.220 We have a great program lined up for you today.
00:00:47.880 Later, we will be joined by Niall Gardner
00:00:50.260 for the latest on Prince Harry's immigration troubles
00:00:54.020 here in the United States.
00:00:55.320 Wait until you hear this.
00:00:56.900 And then we will hear from Dr. Miriam Grossman
00:00:59.260 to discuss her new book centered on transgender ideology.
00:01:02.840 You may remember her.
00:01:03.960 She was one of the stars of Matt Walsh's
00:01:05.440 and the Daily Wire's What is a Woman?
00:01:08.600 She was the sane one in there,
00:01:10.900 spewing a bunch of sense
00:01:12.080 in the midst of a lot of nonsense.
00:01:15.160 And she was a great find
00:01:16.740 and has been an important commentator
00:01:18.460 and expert on all of this.
00:01:20.260 She's been warning parents about gender ideology
00:01:22.120 since the early 2000s.
00:01:24.000 And we'll share some of that knowledge with us.
00:01:26.420 But we begin today with Chadwick Moore.
00:01:29.480 Chadwick is an author, journalist,
00:01:30.840 and contributing editor at The Spectator.
00:01:33.220 In May, he announced he has been writing
00:01:35.280 a biography of Tucker Carlson.
00:01:38.660 And this came out just a month after Tucker
00:01:40.760 was taken off the air by Fox.
00:01:43.000 Chadwick was once a regular on the network
00:01:44.880 and one of Tucker's final guests.
00:01:46.820 He was on that very last show of Tucker's,
00:01:48.520 but now claims he is banned from the network
00:01:52.340 because he's writing a book on Tucker
00:01:55.100 that comes out next month.
00:01:57.440 Chadwick joins me now as there is breaking news
00:01:59.980 in the Tucker versus Fox News war.
00:02:02.820 Chadwick, welcome to the show.
00:02:05.000 Hey, Megan, thanks for having me on.
00:02:06.920 Yeah, it's great to see you.
00:02:07.860 All right, I'll get to the breaking news
00:02:09.060 on this war in one second.
00:02:11.580 But we had had a guest on
00:02:13.960 when you first revealed
00:02:15.080 that you'd been working on this book.
00:02:16.280 And I think I suggested
00:02:17.980 it was an authorized biography.
00:02:19.580 And you said, not exactly.
00:02:21.260 You've been working with Tucker.
00:02:22.680 You've been talking to Tucker
00:02:23.420 and his friends and so on.
00:02:24.820 But it's not, how is it not authorized?
00:02:28.820 Right, well, in the sense that Tucker,
00:02:30.780 I have complete editorial control.
00:02:32.680 So Tucker has been along the whole way.
00:02:35.480 He agreed, you know, I said,
00:02:36.860 we said we want to do this book.
00:02:38.140 And Tucker was like, yeah, sure, why not?
00:02:39.840 And he's been totally open.
00:02:41.620 But, you know, some authorized biographies
00:02:43.460 are the subject will appoint a writer.
00:02:46.620 They get to see what's in the book.
00:02:47.980 Tucker has not seen a word,
00:02:49.160 nor has he asked to see a word.
00:02:50.900 And so we've had complete
00:02:51.920 editorial independence in this book.
00:02:54.320 I see.
00:02:54.720 And when did this project start?
00:02:57.720 It started last spring
00:02:59.040 is when my publisher
00:03:00.160 came to me with the idea
00:03:01.360 that they want to do a book
00:03:02.580 on Tucker Carlson.
00:03:03.980 And it was supposed to actually
00:03:05.220 be released May 31st of this year.
00:03:07.940 And we were basically done.
00:03:10.400 I submitted my manuscript
00:03:11.920 in late March.
00:03:14.720 And we were just sort of going through it.
00:03:16.360 In fact, the week that his show
00:03:18.180 was taken off the air,
00:03:18.900 I had my last call with him scheduled
00:03:20.440 to just answer some last minute questions,
00:03:23.500 tidy up some loose ends.
00:03:24.820 And then his show was taken off the air.
00:03:26.620 And so since then,
00:03:27.380 I've gotten to interview him twice
00:03:29.380 regarding the aftermath
00:03:31.080 and then update the book
00:03:33.000 with new chapters relating to that.
00:03:34.800 But this is like not not in any way
00:03:37.560 to compare Tucker to Sam Bankman Freed.
00:03:40.040 But this reminds me of there.
00:03:42.540 There was an author.
00:03:43.480 I'm trying to remember
00:03:44.060 which one it was,
00:03:44.640 a famous author who'd been
00:03:45.780 trailing Sam Bankman Freed
00:03:47.620 for some time.
00:03:48.560 And then it came out
00:03:49.520 that he was accused
00:03:50.280 of running this massive fraud
00:03:51.540 and his whole crypto thing
00:03:52.700 collapsed.
00:03:53.660 So you're covering somebody
00:03:54.780 who's not a criminal,
00:03:56.260 quite the contrary,
00:03:57.280 but just doing a profile
00:03:58.940 on an interesting guy,
00:04:00.080 a book on an inch.
00:04:00.580 And then, boom,
00:04:01.820 he becomes the center
00:04:02.580 of the media universe,
00:04:03.540 even more so.
00:04:04.360 The news universe.
00:04:05.320 I mean, sometimes as as a journalist,
00:04:07.500 you could just get lucky.
00:04:08.700 I mean, not to celebrate
00:04:09.980 Tucker's problems,
00:04:11.140 but I think he, too,
00:04:12.080 would admit this point.
00:04:14.000 Yeah, well,
00:04:14.320 there's another incident
00:04:15.220 that comes to mind
00:04:15.920 is someone who's working
00:04:17.140 on a biography of Steve Jobs
00:04:18.460 right when he died.
00:04:19.240 And then that book,
00:04:20.280 you know, kind of took off.
00:04:21.900 You know, I'm not celebrating
00:04:22.640 Tucker's show being taken
00:04:23.640 off the air by any means.
00:04:25.180 But yeah,
00:04:26.000 the timing is sort of incredible.
00:04:28.740 Yeah, it was Michael Lewis
00:04:29.960 who had been following around
00:04:31.240 Sam Bankman Freed.
00:04:32.440 And I remember I think
00:04:33.480 it was CAA,
00:04:34.200 the agency,
00:04:35.000 sent out all these memos
00:04:36.760 to people saying,
00:04:37.620 Michael Lewis is already
00:04:38.260 writing the book.
00:04:38.920 He's already writing the book.
00:04:40.120 Don't get any ideas.
00:04:41.420 He's got it.
00:04:42.360 He's got exclusive access.
00:04:43.800 So I think there will be
00:04:44.880 a huge audience for your book
00:04:46.040 and people can preorder it now.
00:04:47.500 It's just called Tucker.
00:04:49.080 And you should order it
00:04:50.280 because we want to support Chadwick
00:04:51.660 and we want to support Tucker.
00:04:53.620 And the audience
00:04:54.700 is already doing that
00:04:55.560 at Fox News.
00:04:56.380 I'm going to get into the ratings,
00:04:57.420 but they're absolutely abysmal
00:04:58.880 in his time slot
00:04:59.820 and throughout the prime time.
00:05:01.380 I don't know if we're calling
00:05:02.060 this a boycott
00:05:02.800 or just people are done.
00:05:04.280 It's not like a temporary thing.
00:05:05.560 They're just done
00:05:06.280 with Fox after this behavior
00:05:08.060 and the latest numbers show it.
00:05:09.940 So let me begin here.
00:05:11.600 Last night,
00:05:12.660 two nights ago,
00:05:13.440 I think it was,
00:05:14.060 Tucker released episode one,
00:05:15.860 what he was calling episode one
00:05:17.460 of his new show.
00:05:19.020 It's an independent offering
00:05:20.520 that he's producing himself.
00:05:22.660 He popped up on air,
00:05:23.980 I think out of his main studio
00:05:25.140 and offered,
00:05:27.360 it was about 11 minutes,
00:05:29.060 his thoughts on the media
00:05:30.640 and other things today.
00:05:33.120 It was just a brief bit.
00:05:34.260 Here's a sound bit from it.
00:05:37.540 Diversity is our strength.
00:05:39.420 Trans women are women.
00:05:40.820 Zelensky is Churchill.
00:05:42.540 It's all self-evidently true.
00:05:44.860 Doesn't need an explanation
00:05:45.860 and don't ask questions.
00:05:47.620 By this point,
00:05:48.260 it's possible that American citizens
00:05:50.100 are the least informed people
00:05:52.140 in the world.
00:05:53.040 As of today,
00:05:54.140 we've come to Twitter,
00:05:55.020 which we're told
00:05:55.500 there are no gatekeepers here.
00:05:56.980 If that turns out to be false,
00:05:58.460 we'll leave.
00:06:00.620 Okay,
00:06:01.080 so that's,
00:06:01.620 he pops up his thoughts.
00:06:02.840 And then Chadwick,
00:06:04.000 I mean,
00:06:04.480 like that,
00:06:05.920 he reportedly got a letter
00:06:07.200 from Fox News saying,
00:06:08.300 you breached your contract.
00:06:09.300 You are required
00:06:10.060 to stay exclusive to us
00:06:11.100 because remember,
00:06:11.660 as I first reported,
00:06:12.840 he was not fired.
00:06:13.980 He was just booted off
00:06:14.840 of his show.
00:06:15.360 They continue to pay him
00:06:16.240 because they want to keep him
00:06:17.180 muzzled
00:06:18.200 through at least 2025.
00:06:20.720 Well,
00:06:21.960 he's having a legal battle
00:06:23.100 with them.
00:06:23.540 They're slow rolling it
00:06:24.740 because the longer
00:06:25.960 he's on the sidelines,
00:06:26.920 the better for them.
00:06:28.600 And this is Tucker's
00:06:29.620 first real middle finger,
00:06:31.300 I think,
00:06:31.720 to them saying,
00:06:32.560 I'm doing it.
00:06:33.740 I will not stay muzzled.
00:06:34.840 How do you see it?
00:06:36.660 Right.
00:06:36.880 And Fox's lawyer said
00:06:38.360 something about him
00:06:38.940 rendering services.
00:06:40.080 Well,
00:06:40.240 I don't know if he's
00:06:41.480 actually rendering services
00:06:42.740 if he's not getting paid.
00:06:44.740 You know,
00:06:44.960 from what I was told initially
00:06:46.580 is that Twitter is not mentioned
00:06:48.280 in his non-compete.
00:06:50.540 And that is why,
00:06:51.600 you know,
00:06:51.860 I suppose that Fox News
00:06:53.120 employees are allowed
00:06:54.320 to use Twitter
00:06:54.920 to express their opinions
00:06:56.520 on issues of the day.
00:06:58.060 And that would be apparently
00:06:59.600 what Tucker did in this.
00:07:00.680 You know,
00:07:00.800 he's not making money.
00:07:01.620 He's not an employee
00:07:02.460 of Elon Musk
00:07:03.120 or partnering with Elon Musk
00:07:04.320 in any way.
00:07:05.720 And Fox is,
00:07:08.080 he,
00:07:08.540 people have said
00:07:09.200 that they're committed
00:07:09.740 to keeping him off the air
00:07:10.760 until after the election.
00:07:11.880 His contract runs out
00:07:13.580 in early 2025.
00:07:15.380 And they're certainly
00:07:17.040 lowering up.
00:07:17.460 But I've heard
00:07:17.920 from a lot of Fox people,
00:07:19.200 you know,
00:07:19.780 you would know better
00:07:20.480 than anyone,
00:07:21.020 this is pretty standard
00:07:21.840 behavior for Fox,
00:07:22.760 sending these threatening
00:07:23.400 letters to people
00:07:24.120 that were once employees
00:07:26.220 or still under contract
00:07:27.740 with them.
00:07:28.920 Mm-hmm.
00:07:29.420 There,
00:07:29.900 reportedly,
00:07:31.280 and I haven't seen
00:07:31.780 Tucker's deal,
00:07:32.900 but reportedly,
00:07:33.860 there is,
00:07:34.840 a clause in it
00:07:35.800 that prohibits him
00:07:36.640 from,
00:07:37.020 as you point out,
00:07:37.780 rendering services
00:07:38.580 of any type whatsoever,
00:07:40.180 whether over the internet
00:07:41.660 via streaming
00:07:42.820 or similar distribution
00:07:44.920 or other digital distribution,
00:07:47.200 whether known
00:07:47.680 or hereafter devised.
00:07:49.380 But Fox,
00:07:50.180 of course,
00:07:50.680 has allowed
00:07:51.260 all of its personalities
00:07:52.320 to post on Twitter
00:07:53.300 since I was there.
00:07:54.740 I mean,
00:07:54.960 since Twitter was born.
00:07:56.440 And so there will be
00:07:57.620 a dispute about
00:07:58.260 whether this qualifies
00:07:59.280 as a, quote,
00:08:00.100 breach.
00:08:00.720 I've been talking
00:08:01.560 all along about
00:08:02.280 whether Fox
00:08:02.940 committed a prior
00:08:04.320 material breach
00:08:05.680 in connection
00:08:06.540 with this whole thing.
00:08:07.460 They cut the guy
00:08:08.920 out of his show
00:08:09.680 and then they promptly
00:08:11.500 engaged in what
00:08:12.260 looked like a
00:08:12.800 coordinated leak
00:08:13.880 campaign against him.
00:08:15.160 And in that vein,
00:08:16.900 I want to get into
00:08:17.820 this, Chad,
00:08:18.440 because there is
00:08:19.340 a bizarre new twist
00:08:21.000 in this whole leak saga.
00:08:23.000 All right.
00:08:23.180 The federal authorities
00:08:24.260 are now suggesting
00:08:25.540 that an outside party,
00:08:27.580 an outside party,
00:08:28.220 some guy I'd never heard of
00:08:29.260 named Timothy Burke,
00:08:30.180 he's apparently a journalist
00:08:31.820 or a former journalist.
00:08:33.280 He used to work
00:08:33.980 for the sports website
00:08:34.860 Deadspin and then later
00:08:36.440 for a short time
00:08:37.000 at the Daily Beast,
00:08:37.780 that this guy may have
00:08:38.680 been behind the Media
00:08:39.480 Matters video leaks
00:08:40.620 on Tucker.
00:08:41.900 The Media Matters one,
00:08:42.980 those little weird
00:08:43.580 videos of him
00:08:44.360 while he was on set
00:08:45.940 and on cam,
00:08:46.880 but not on the air.
00:08:48.360 So this was first
00:08:49.480 broken by the Tampa
00:08:50.240 Bay Times.
00:08:51.200 They reported that
00:08:51.900 a federal prosecutor
00:08:52.840 in Tampa wrote a letter
00:08:54.140 to Fox News last month
00:08:55.280 revealing that a
00:08:56.960 criminal probe
00:08:57.700 is happening.
00:08:58.840 But the letter
00:09:01.020 did not name
00:09:01.560 the target
00:09:02.060 of this criminal probe,
00:09:03.340 but they said
00:09:03.660 it relates to Fox News
00:09:04.600 and, you know,
00:09:05.940 you should be aware
00:09:06.700 as a potential victim.
00:09:08.600 The Times managed
00:09:09.260 to tie it
00:09:09.860 to Mr. Burke,
00:09:11.380 the Tampa Bay Times,
00:09:12.480 adding to this letter,
00:09:14.000 saying we know
00:09:14.480 who the target is.
00:09:15.280 It's this guy,
00:09:16.380 Timothy Burke.
00:09:17.400 And they reported
00:09:18.360 that the FBI
00:09:18.900 actually raided
00:09:19.740 this guy's home.
00:09:21.380 Tampa Bay Times
00:09:21.940 reporting that
00:09:22.460 the investigation,
00:09:23.300 quote,
00:09:23.560 concerns allegations
00:09:24.900 of unauthorized
00:09:26.480 computer access,
00:09:27.420 unauthorized computer
00:09:28.580 access,
00:09:29.160 interception
00:09:29.840 of wire,
00:09:31.480 oral or electronic
00:09:32.680 communication,
00:09:34.220 conspiracy and other
00:09:35.300 federal crimes.
00:09:36.200 Now, that to me
00:09:37.140 suggests hacking,
00:09:39.020 interception of crime.
00:09:40.020 My God, what?
00:09:41.680 So this guy, Burke,
00:09:42.660 who is he?
00:09:43.200 He's a he's married
00:09:44.120 to a Democrat
00:09:44.740 city councilwoman
00:09:45.640 down in Tampa.
00:09:47.020 And we're all
00:09:48.060 looking at this saying,
00:09:49.020 what connection,
00:09:49.900 if any,
00:09:50.100 does he have
00:09:50.540 to any of this?
00:09:51.700 What?
00:09:52.200 How would this guy
00:09:52.840 get his hands
00:09:53.580 on internal Fox
00:09:55.500 News outtakes
00:09:56.380 from Tucker's show?
00:09:57.980 Well, his attorney
00:09:58.800 has weighed in.
00:09:59.700 His name is Mark Rash.
00:10:01.000 He spoke to
00:10:01.840 The Washington Post.
00:10:02.820 He denied
00:10:03.300 that anything illegal
00:10:04.660 was done.
00:10:05.640 But he seems to admit
00:10:07.060 that his client
00:10:07.780 accessed information
00:10:09.240 regarding Tucker.
00:10:10.560 He said to The Washington
00:10:11.320 Post, quote,
00:10:12.320 we are confident
00:10:13.040 that when all the facts
00:10:14.040 come out,
00:10:14.540 it will be demonstrated
00:10:15.420 that Timothy
00:10:15.980 never hacked anyone
00:10:17.420 and that all the
00:10:18.940 information he provided
00:10:20.080 was accessible
00:10:21.600 to the public.
00:10:23.140 What?
00:10:23.940 What do you mean
00:10:24.700 it was accessible
00:10:25.300 to the,
00:10:25.800 how?
00:10:26.720 What's,
00:10:27.240 what information?
00:10:29.320 Now,
00:10:29.720 that is apparently
00:10:30.420 being investigated
00:10:31.120 by the feds.
00:10:32.080 And the feds
00:10:32.880 are also apparently
00:10:33.820 investigating not only
00:10:34.840 these Media Matters
00:10:35.740 leaks,
00:10:36.320 we think,
00:10:37.480 but the publication
00:10:38.480 last fall
00:10:39.520 of another
00:10:40.660 unauthorized
00:10:41.500 Tucker Carlson video.
00:10:42.700 And that was an
00:10:43.220 outtake
00:10:43.680 from his interview
00:10:45.120 with Ye,
00:10:46.920 Kanye West.
00:10:48.400 Right?
00:10:48.920 So remember that
00:10:49.600 came out.
00:10:50.040 It had some clip
00:10:50.980 about Ye saying
00:10:52.300 some really weird
00:10:52.960 things about,
00:10:53.800 I don't know,
00:10:54.400 fake kids being
00:10:55.040 implanted at his
00:10:56.080 home.
00:10:56.320 I can't remember.
00:10:57.240 But that was
00:10:57.700 another unauthorized
00:10:59.300 release.
00:11:00.740 And now Burke's
00:11:01.300 attorney is admitting
00:11:02.040 to WAPO that Burke,
00:11:03.560 he doesn't work for
00:11:04.380 a news organization
00:11:04.940 right now,
00:11:05.580 but they say he's
00:11:06.460 got a communications
00:11:07.100 company that he's,
00:11:08.040 quote,
00:11:08.140 still engaged in
00:11:08.940 journalism.
00:11:09.680 This was the quote.
00:11:10.780 Tim is a master
00:11:11.940 at finding links
00:11:13.700 to stuff publicly
00:11:15.280 posted on the
00:11:16.100 internet.
00:11:16.420 If a video is
00:11:17.500 posted public,
00:11:19.060 unencrypted,
00:11:19.720 and unprotected,
00:11:20.980 then there's
00:11:21.740 simply no crime
00:11:22.380 committed when a
00:11:23.060 journalist like Tim
00:11:23.900 finds it and
00:11:25.260 accurately reports
00:11:26.360 on it.
00:11:27.540 I mean,
00:11:28.120 all of this raises
00:11:28.920 more questions,
00:11:29.860 right?
00:11:30.080 He found it.
00:11:31.140 He found it on the
00:11:32.100 internet.
00:11:32.500 It was unencrypted.
00:11:33.440 It was unprotected.
00:11:34.140 How?
00:11:34.960 Did someone give it to
00:11:35.860 him?
00:11:36.380 Did someone point him
00:11:37.200 on where to look for
00:11:38.400 it?
00:11:38.500 How would he even
00:11:39.140 know that?
00:11:40.560 And did he then
00:11:41.600 leak all of those
00:11:43.600 videos to Media
00:11:44.200 Matters?
00:11:44.660 And did he leak at
00:11:45.840 least two of those
00:11:46.560 videos to the New York
00:11:48.160 Times?
00:11:49.280 Remember that April
00:11:50.200 article that I've
00:11:50.980 called people's
00:11:51.460 attention to before?
00:11:53.080 The April 26th New
00:11:54.740 York Times article
00:11:55.540 that first said there
00:11:57.560 are problematic texts
00:11:58.940 in connection with the
00:12:00.100 Dominion litigation that
00:12:01.720 got Tucker fired.
00:12:03.180 Oh, and by the way,
00:12:04.220 we've also seen two
00:12:05.600 videos of him referring
00:12:06.820 to women as yummy and
00:12:08.660 talking about post-menopausal
00:12:10.260 women.
00:12:11.300 So is it possible this
00:12:12.880 guy down in Florida
00:12:13.720 leaked two videos of
00:12:15.720 the many he would
00:12:16.820 later allegedly give to
00:12:17.920 Media Matters to the
00:12:19.080 New York Times at the
00:12:19.820 same time that someone
00:12:21.560 was leaking confidential
00:12:22.460 documents to the Times
00:12:23.460 from the Dominion
00:12:24.160 litigation that only
00:12:25.340 Dominion and Fox News
00:12:26.320 would have?
00:12:26.840 I mean, this is like
00:12:27.520 getting so twisted.
00:12:29.460 All this is going to be
00:12:30.320 investigated right now.
00:12:31.400 It looks like multiple
00:12:31.980 people were out to hurt
00:12:32.980 Tucker Carlson.
00:12:35.120 Chadwick, what do you
00:12:35.640 make of it all?
00:12:37.320 So my first impression
00:12:39.020 was actually when those
00:12:40.040 videos were leaked was
00:12:41.240 so Tucker had been
00:12:41.920 through this before
00:12:42.640 that a there's a lot
00:12:44.040 of third party
00:12:44.840 contractors that will
00:12:45.700 work on his nightly
00:12:46.360 show and I would know
00:12:47.200 that like I'm in New
00:12:48.300 York, he's in Florida.
00:12:49.480 So a lot of my
00:12:50.240 appearances would be
00:12:51.060 through a mobile
00:12:51.980 studio or if I'm
00:12:53.440 traveling some local
00:12:54.260 studio.
00:12:55.040 My first thought when I
00:12:56.180 saw those videos was
00:12:57.200 that some third party
00:12:58.320 contractor at a mobile
00:12:59.400 studio or remote
00:13:00.560 studio was just
00:13:01.700 recording him because
00:13:02.440 they could see him,
00:13:03.360 you know, during breaks
00:13:04.640 or whatever.
00:13:05.240 And they wanted to
00:13:06.540 make some money to get
00:13:07.320 on the, you know,
00:13:08.080 while this was in the
00:13:08.720 news and they sold it
00:13:09.500 to Media Matters
00:13:10.180 or whoever.
00:13:11.000 That's what I
00:13:11.440 initially thought.
00:13:11.920 It happened to Tucker
00:13:12.580 before there was a few
00:13:14.160 years ago that he was
00:13:15.220 talking about how he had
00:13:16.400 surgery and he took
00:13:17.220 some painkillers and
00:13:18.160 he and and actually
00:13:19.400 his the unedited audio
00:13:21.420 was that was his sort
00:13:22.640 of sympathizing with,
00:13:23.740 you know, basically
00:13:24.180 opioid addicts now
00:13:25.240 horrible it is to be on
00:13:26.080 these drugs.
00:13:26.540 It was edited to make it
00:13:27.720 sound like he was a
00:13:28.360 drug addict, which he's
00:13:29.120 been sober for over 20
00:13:30.040 years.
00:13:30.780 But so this has
00:13:31.300 happened to him before
00:13:32.260 and it was a third
00:13:33.520 party contractor who did
00:13:34.580 that.
00:13:35.320 So that was my initial
00:13:36.160 thought.
00:13:36.680 But then I wondered,
00:13:38.140 of course, with with
00:13:39.220 with access to things
00:13:40.800 that only the that Fox
00:13:42.000 News and Dominion would
00:13:42.820 have being leaked
00:13:43.620 seems suspicious.
00:13:44.640 And then I wondered
00:13:45.580 why would why would
00:13:48.340 they the New York Times
00:13:51.160 or I'm sorry, then why
00:13:51.980 would Fox News go on
00:13:53.860 while this is happening
00:13:54.920 and disparage him to the
00:13:56.500 New York Times and say,
00:13:57.500 well, he was fired over
00:13:58.400 these this racist text
00:13:59.840 message.
00:14:00.160 He sent one text message.
00:14:01.320 It wasn't racist at all.
00:14:02.560 And that all happened
00:14:03.480 in conjunction with this.
00:14:04.540 So then, you know, I
00:14:05.360 wondered if maybe Fox
00:14:06.240 was behind these leaks
00:14:07.020 and trying to create an
00:14:09.140 atmosphere to turn
00:14:09.740 against Tucker, which
00:14:10.460 obviously backfired.
00:14:11.340 Anyone who saw those
00:14:11.940 videos that sort of more
00:14:12.960 endeared them to Tucker,
00:14:14.040 it was just a guy being a
00:14:15.360 guy and, you know, joking
00:14:16.780 around with his staff.
00:14:18.620 Right now, I said in the
00:14:19.300 air at the time that if
00:14:21.460 this was Fox behind these
00:14:22.760 videos, they lost their
00:14:23.660 fastball because what
00:14:25.860 about these videos would
00:14:27.020 alienate Tucker's
00:14:28.960 audience from Tucker?
00:14:30.040 And I do know that Fox
00:14:32.580 is in a deep panic about
00:14:35.380 Tucker coming out and
00:14:37.120 competing against them.
00:14:38.880 They do not want that.
00:14:40.480 They recognize he will hurt
00:14:42.520 them and they are doing
00:14:43.540 everything in their power to
00:14:45.040 keep him on the sidelines.
00:14:46.040 I mean, we we previously
00:14:47.460 reported that the Fox
00:14:48.440 Corp general counsel went
00:14:50.320 to the comms chief within
00:14:51.620 Fox News, Irina Briganti,
00:14:52.940 after that April 26 New York
00:14:54.220 Time article hit and said
00:14:56.180 they believe she was the
00:14:57.880 source of the leaks of at
00:14:59.140 least those Tucker Carlson
00:15:00.420 texts.
00:15:01.100 All right.
00:15:01.620 And they warned her she
00:15:02.960 was going to be fired if
00:15:04.460 they caught her leaking.
00:15:06.540 And then we also know that
00:15:08.520 it wasn't just that New York
00:15:09.380 Times piece, by the way,
00:15:10.160 that led the general counsel
00:15:11.080 to suspect Irina of
00:15:12.120 leaking.
00:15:12.580 Like there's multiple issues
00:15:13.720 which will come out
00:15:14.680 eventually.
00:15:15.560 She denies it.
00:15:16.280 She says it's all
00:15:16.800 categorically false.
00:15:18.060 But I mean that this is
00:15:20.780 how panicked they are about
00:15:22.040 him, about Tucker 2.0
00:15:24.560 Chadwick.
00:15:25.240 They cannot have him coming
00:15:27.080 out and competing against
00:15:28.520 them.
00:15:28.880 That's what this is all
00:15:29.540 about.
00:15:29.840 So he's turfed off to the
00:15:31.840 side, but he's got to remain
00:15:33.280 muzzled.
00:15:35.280 Yeah, exactly.
00:15:36.020 And it's I mean, it seems
00:15:37.180 like now we're realizing that
00:15:38.300 Tucker was sort of
00:15:38.960 artificially not only
00:15:40.640 extending the life but
00:15:41.520 relevance of cable news.
00:15:42.800 And I think I mean, a lot of
00:15:44.120 Fox's poor viewers had had
00:15:45.660 it up to their ears with
00:15:47.220 Fox just over the years
00:15:48.600 feeling betrayed by things
00:15:50.640 that they'd done and also
00:15:51.800 realizing that Fox was this
00:15:53.160 corporation that represented
00:15:54.440 things in which they stood
00:15:55.800 against as sort of more
00:15:56.740 nationalist, populist, civil
00:15:58.040 libertarians.
00:15:59.300 But it seems like that they
00:16:01.140 would give Fox a pass for the
00:16:02.600 sake that they still had
00:16:03.780 Tucker on the air.
00:16:04.980 You know, Fox might be doing
00:16:06.080 all sorts of things.
00:16:06.840 They might have called
00:16:07.300 Arizona too early, et cetera,
00:16:09.120 et cetera.
00:16:09.820 But they still let Tucker talk.
00:16:11.300 They still let him on the air.
00:16:12.260 So they must not be that bad.
00:16:14.240 Now that they gave him the
00:16:15.040 boot, we're seeing it now
00:16:16.800 in the results.
00:16:17.500 I mean, MSNBC is beating
00:16:19.280 them in Tucker's old slot.
00:16:20.920 I mean, I don't think those
00:16:21.640 viewers are coming back.
00:16:22.520 In fact, he was bringing
00:16:23.460 people to cable news that
00:16:25.100 wouldn't normally be there.
00:16:26.900 And and now those people
00:16:28.960 are gone.
00:16:29.740 They were only there for him.
00:16:31.400 Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:16:32.520 Well, I mean, I want you to
00:16:33.700 get to the ratings one second,
00:16:34.640 but I do want to say all of
00:16:36.500 this matters because, OK, if
00:16:38.220 it was an outside party doing
00:16:39.380 the leaking of the media
00:16:40.320 matters stuff, that's that
00:16:42.120 can't be held against Fox
00:16:43.020 News unless Fox News somehow
00:16:44.300 cooperated with it or somebody
00:16:45.800 inside made it available.
00:16:47.180 They're saying it was it was
00:16:49.180 not unauthorized.
00:16:50.060 So what the hell does that
00:16:51.100 mean?
00:16:51.300 Right. But that does not
00:16:52.900 resolve the question of who's
00:16:54.320 leaking the Tucker texts in
00:16:55.820 connection with the
00:16:56.980 Dominion litigation, which he
00:16:58.600 provided to the Fox
00:16:59.880 General Counsel only.
00:17:01.920 Right. That's who he had
00:17:03.380 them. Fox had them and
00:17:05.040 Dominion had them.
00:17:06.400 And Dominion is denying that
00:17:07.480 it provided any leaks of any
00:17:08.860 kind. Why would it jeopardize
00:17:10.140 its eight hundred million
00:17:10.880 dollars? Fox had every
00:17:12.760 incentive in the world to try
00:17:13.780 to hurt Tucker at the time
00:17:14.980 these were surprisingly
00:17:16.460 revealed.
00:17:17.800 You know, and the Daily
00:17:18.360 Caller reported in late May
00:17:19.640 that this same general counsel
00:17:21.380 of Fox, Viet Dinh, reached out
00:17:22.820 to a Tucker associate with a
00:17:24.100 message for Tucker saying
00:17:26.320 one, Irene had been warned she
00:17:27.840 was going to be fired if she
00:17:28.760 were caught leaking, and two
00:17:29.760 saying a Fox board member was
00:17:32.080 suspected of speaking to the
00:17:33.280 press as well.
00:17:34.420 Fox denies all of this.
00:17:35.620 Right. They said they told the
00:17:36.480 Daily Caller it's not true.
00:17:37.680 But all this matters because if
00:17:39.160 Fox was behind any of these
00:17:40.320 leaks, it it could very well be,
00:17:42.080 as I've said, I believe it would
00:17:43.060 be a breach of contract, a prior
00:17:45.100 material breach of the very deal.
00:17:47.140 They're now saying Tucker breached
00:17:48.360 by dropping dropping the first
00:17:49.980 episode of that show on Twitter.
00:17:52.040 All this is going to be played
00:17:53.400 out in an arbitration.
00:17:54.460 And Fox is in a very difficult
00:17:55.800 position trying to say to an
00:17:57.000 arbitrator.
00:17:58.460 He said we don't have to pay him
00:18:00.100 like we fired him sort of from
00:18:02.140 from his show without cause, not
00:18:04.780 even Fox is alleging they had
00:18:05.900 caused for the termination.
00:18:07.740 And he said, OK, here's your money
00:18:09.340 back. You've gotten back the
00:18:11.000 benefit of the bargain, your money.
00:18:13.180 I've given you my benefit of the
00:18:14.560 bargain, your money.
00:18:16.220 Now, just let me go.
00:18:17.100 And the only thing they're going
00:18:17.940 to be arbitrating over is whether
00:18:19.180 they have the right to muzzle
00:18:20.740 him.
00:18:21.560 And the problem, Chadwick, is the
00:18:23.260 numbers you just said.
00:18:24.340 You just hit the nail right on
00:18:25.240 the head in the month of May.
00:18:27.820 MSNBC came within 15000 viewers
00:18:30.960 of taking the month off of Fox
00:18:32.820 in the key advertising demo of
00:18:34.800 twenty five fifty four.
00:18:35.760 I don't remember when that's ever
00:18:36.700 happened before.
00:18:37.720 Within fifteen thousand.
00:18:39.660 Now, both of the numbers are down
00:18:41.200 in the basement.
00:18:42.500 One hundred and thirty five
00:18:43.240 thousand was Fox's demo average
00:18:44.760 in May in the prime time.
00:18:46.200 My God.
00:18:47.520 MSNBC had one hundred and twenty
00:18:48.700 thousand.
00:18:48.940 That's nothing.
00:18:49.920 That's embarrassing.
00:18:51.300 Ben Shapiro.
00:18:52.020 We would be embarrassed to be
00:18:53.560 logging those kinds of numbers.
00:18:55.740 But even just this week on
00:18:57.360 Monday, we pulled the numbers.
00:18:59.440 Seven p.m.
00:19:00.900 Jesse Waters almost lost
00:19:02.720 to Joy Reid.
00:19:03.840 He did lose to her on Tuesday.
00:19:06.000 Jesse Waters lost to Joy Reid
00:19:08.060 on Tuesday.
00:19:09.380 The eight p.m.
00:19:10.020 Mauer on Monday.
00:19:11.020 Harris Faulkner's in.
00:19:12.460 She lost both to CNN
00:19:14.460 and to MSNBC.
00:19:17.140 Tucker Carlson has never
00:19:18.120 done that in his life.
00:19:19.020 That's never happened.
00:19:19.980 I mean, it's he was getting
00:19:21.780 four times these ratings.
00:19:24.280 And indeed, it's been
00:19:26.140 I think I wrote down.
00:19:27.080 It's a what?
00:19:27.640 A sixty two percent drop
00:19:28.960 in the Fox News demo average
00:19:30.260 for primetime year over year.
00:19:32.440 Year over year.
00:19:33.000 Fox has lost sixty two percent.
00:19:36.140 Hannity, too, lost.
00:19:37.840 He lost to Cooper and Maddow
00:19:40.700 on Monday night.
00:19:42.380 My God, the entire primetime
00:19:43.700 is blown up, Chad.
00:19:47.140 It's it's three times Bud Light.
00:19:49.520 You know, we're all looking
00:19:50.580 at what's happening to Bud Light.
00:19:51.540 But if you look at the percentages
00:19:52.340 and the numbers, it's a massive
00:19:54.640 bigger boycott than what's
00:19:55.860 happening to Bud Light.
00:19:57.580 And, you know, it's just when I
00:19:58.660 ask everyone that, you know,
00:20:01.480 and I was speaking about this,
00:20:02.680 why would Fox do this?
00:20:03.600 For whatever reason, they pull
00:20:04.820 the show up here.
00:20:05.560 Everyone says to me, it's
00:20:07.220 management, they are completely
00:20:08.260 stupid.
00:20:08.760 You can completely chalk it up
00:20:09.920 to management being completely
00:20:11.020 out of touch with their
00:20:12.280 audience and with what's
00:20:13.880 happening in media and still
00:20:14.980 believing that they're the Fox
00:20:16.080 News of 20 years ago, which
00:20:17.340 was this indestructible
00:20:18.760 juggernaut.
00:20:19.780 You know, everyone that I'd
00:20:20.880 spoken to has said that, you
00:20:22.900 know, the management still
00:20:23.760 believes that it's the brand
00:20:25.080 that matters, not the
00:20:26.020 personality.
00:20:27.020 And it doesn't that the faces
00:20:28.640 are interchangeable and the
00:20:30.260 brand will survive no matter
00:20:31.020 what.
00:20:31.480 When it seems like the direction
00:20:32.900 that media has moved, not
00:20:33.940 just social media, et cetera,
00:20:35.340 but it's moved into a place
00:20:37.220 where people want
00:20:38.140 personalities.
00:20:38.700 They want people they can
00:20:39.780 trust and they want people
00:20:41.120 they want a relationship with
00:20:42.500 the person who's delivering
00:20:43.440 them the news and the
00:20:44.160 commentary.
00:20:44.760 And Tucker certainly had that.
00:20:46.460 You know, people felt like
00:20:47.200 they had a personal
00:20:47.820 relationship with him and he
00:20:48.820 was appointment doing, you
00:20:50.160 know, how many millions of
00:20:50.920 people are still saying, I
00:20:52.040 don't know what to do at
00:20:52.740 eight o'clock tonight because
00:20:54.320 for a million for years, this
00:20:56.140 is my left and right on the
00:20:57.900 left and right.
00:20:58.400 I mean, I know I know a lot of
00:20:59.540 committed liberals who would
00:21:00.720 at least tune in for Tucker's
00:21:01.800 talking points just to hear
00:21:03.300 what he had to say because
00:21:04.020 he was number one in 25 to
00:21:06.400 54 year old Democrats as
00:21:07.700 well.
00:21:08.040 And all of cable.
00:21:09.760 Wow.
00:21:10.180 So now I'm interested in the
00:21:12.600 Fox News boycott of you.
00:21:14.800 The viewers are boycotting
00:21:15.840 Fox.
00:21:16.360 You're getting boycotted, too.
00:21:17.720 So what happened?
00:21:19.580 So, you know, I was a
00:21:20.960 regular on several shows, not
00:21:22.140 just Tucker's.
00:21:23.140 Well, two other shows are
00:21:23.960 regular and that appear on
00:21:24.900 some other shows.
00:21:25.860 And I was scheduled to be on
00:21:28.520 Gutfeld at the end of this
00:21:29.760 month, May 31st, which is
00:21:30.840 normal every month I would be
00:21:31.920 on at the end of the month.
00:21:32.740 I knew to expect it and I
00:21:34.160 was booked.
00:21:34.920 And the day that we
00:21:35.980 announced this book about an
00:21:37.320 hour or two later, I got an
00:21:38.440 email with some super lame
00:21:40.540 excuse.
00:21:41.480 Oh, we're overbooked.
00:21:42.460 Sorry.
00:21:43.060 You know, when that's
00:21:43.680 happened before, it's it's,
00:21:45.260 you know, hey, sorry, we
00:21:46.580 bump you to Friday instead of
00:21:48.340 Tuesday.
00:21:48.760 You know, that's how it works.
00:21:49.420 But there was none of that.
00:21:50.420 So I knew it was going on.
00:21:51.420 And I also knew from sources
00:21:52.740 that people still work at Fox
00:21:54.580 that they were forbidden from
00:21:56.780 saying the name Tucker on air.
00:21:57.960 And it's not like I knew they
00:21:59.040 wouldn't plug my book, you
00:22:00.000 know, but I figured I would
00:22:01.640 still go on Fox.
00:22:02.180 I was asked before I
00:22:03.880 announced the book, the week
00:22:05.680 that they took Chuck Tucker
00:22:06.540 show off the air, I was asked
00:22:07.820 to come on that replacement
00:22:08.860 show three times.
00:22:10.300 And I politely declined, even
00:22:12.680 though I really I really like
00:22:13.700 all the people who work there.
00:22:14.640 Like, you know, I really like
00:22:15.920 the bookers and the producers,
00:22:16.940 but I declined because it felt
00:22:18.480 dirty.
00:22:18.880 And I just didn't feel good
00:22:20.740 going on that show.
00:22:21.540 And especially.
00:22:22.060 I agree.
00:22:22.140 You know, yeah, but I figured I'd
00:22:25.620 still go on Gutfeld because I had
00:22:26.780 a relationship with them and I
00:22:28.120 wouldn't I'd be polite and
00:22:29.160 respectful.
00:22:29.740 I wouldn't mention the Tucker
00:22:30.660 book and because I knew they
00:22:32.180 wouldn't like that.
00:22:33.180 But I was pulled off.
00:22:34.060 And and, you know, and when
00:22:35.560 then when I when I just tweeted
00:22:37.420 about it, because I thought
00:22:38.260 people just know that this is
00:22:39.640 how silly this is.
00:22:41.400 Gutfeld blocked me on Twitter.
00:22:43.400 I couldn't believe it.
00:22:44.760 I'm surprised.
00:22:47.180 Well, there you have it.
00:22:48.880 Wow.
00:22:49.940 You know, it's a lot of news
00:22:52.420 personalities are very thin
00:22:53.520 skinned.
00:22:53.800 I didn't definitely do not.
00:22:55.220 I don't think Greg Gutfeld is
00:22:56.480 one of them, but who knows
00:22:57.380 what's behind all of that?
00:22:58.660 Let me ask you this.
00:22:59.740 You did come out with reporting
00:23:01.260 that.
00:23:02.380 On the reason for Tucker's
00:23:04.200 termination, and you said that
00:23:05.640 you had sources who told you
00:23:08.320 that this really was about
00:23:10.480 dominion, that there was a deal
00:23:12.440 with dominion to pull him off
00:23:14.820 the off the air.
00:23:15.720 And we've talked about this
00:23:16.600 before on the show on how
00:23:17.660 dominions to denials that we
00:23:19.040 have found that that was
00:23:20.940 true are very carefully
00:23:22.700 worded.
00:23:23.580 They speak about dominion
00:23:25.000 never insisted that Tucker
00:23:27.340 be fired.
00:23:28.460 They never demanded that
00:23:30.100 Tucker be fired, but they
00:23:31.180 don't answer the question.
00:23:32.620 Well, was it a deal term?
00:23:33.600 Was it volunteered?
00:23:34.600 Did you ask as a question?
00:23:36.220 And then the answer was, yes,
00:23:37.380 it's very it leaves open a
00:23:39.340 whole other host of
00:23:40.180 possibilities that this did
00:23:41.780 wind up as a deal term, if
00:23:43.300 not in writing, then, you
00:23:44.360 know, by oral agreement.
00:23:45.620 So what do you know on it?
00:23:47.340 Well, I also agree with you.
00:23:48.380 The word insist is interesting,
00:23:49.580 but also the word fired.
00:23:50.980 He's not fired.
00:23:52.080 He's still an employee of Fox
00:23:53.180 News.
00:23:54.300 And so so this is what
00:23:55.860 sources told me.
00:23:56.740 And, you know, Dominions,
00:23:57.440 obviously, we just said that
00:23:58.440 denied it.
00:23:58.920 And Fox has denied it and
00:24:00.040 said, you know, under no
00:24:01.220 certain terms.
00:24:01.900 Is this the case?
00:24:03.720 I was the people who told me
00:24:05.160 this have never misled me
00:24:06.560 before.
00:24:06.880 I don't think they have any
00:24:07.560 reason to lie.
00:24:08.880 And I feel like.
00:24:09.440 And would they be in a
00:24:09.960 position to know, Chadwick?
00:24:11.240 I feel like they would
00:24:12.180 absolutely be in a position
00:24:13.060 to know.
00:24:13.660 But, you know, that's not to
00:24:14.700 say this is just I was
00:24:15.960 reporting what I was told.
00:24:17.980 And if that's not I think
00:24:18.840 it's certain that the
00:24:20.300 Dominion situation was the
00:24:21.880 reason for this.
00:24:22.560 Now, whether it was a
00:24:23.200 condition, which is what I
00:24:24.780 was told, I I've never seen
00:24:26.460 any paperwork.
00:24:26.900 I don't know.
00:24:27.780 But I feel like those people
00:24:29.200 would be in a position to
00:24:30.000 know.
00:24:30.580 Or the other theory that I
00:24:32.840 all that, you know, if
00:24:34.200 if my sources had not told
00:24:35.680 me this, the theory I would
00:24:36.860 have gone with would have
00:24:37.920 been simply Fox is trying
00:24:39.160 to make an example and
00:24:40.520 they're trying to get
00:24:41.080 everyone in line.
00:24:41.820 And they were saying, we're
00:24:43.000 going to pull this guy off
00:24:43.660 the air to show you everyone
00:24:44.680 else needs to get in line
00:24:45.320 because he obviously did not
00:24:46.520 push any of these these
00:24:48.100 theories that the voting
00:24:48.920 machines were rigged.
00:24:50.000 I mean, he actually
00:24:50.460 pushed back against it.
00:24:51.980 Yeah.
00:24:52.100 When Sidney Powell came on
00:24:53.040 his show, he kind of
00:24:53.880 humiliated her.
00:24:54.580 And it was very clear that
00:24:55.680 he wasn't buying.
00:24:57.240 I don't think she went on.
00:24:58.600 He just he just did a
00:24:59.660 talking points memo
00:25:00.480 eviscerating her saying she
00:25:01.980 was a liar.
00:25:03.940 Yeah, he what there are
00:25:05.020 other people on Fox who
00:25:05.940 definitely pushed this
00:25:07.080 theory and they are
00:25:09.200 still there.
00:25:09.820 So what I would have
00:25:11.620 thought had happened
00:25:12.400 would be that simply Fox
00:25:14.300 wanted to make an example
00:25:15.100 out of him.
00:25:15.780 And and then being as
00:25:17.600 arrogant as they are
00:25:18.540 thinking they'll recover.
00:25:19.580 It's no different than
00:25:20.320 when anyone else has left.
00:25:21.300 We'll be fine.
00:25:22.000 We're Fox.
00:25:23.300 The interesting thing now
00:25:24.780 is that so much has
00:25:25.940 changed.
00:25:26.260 So I think that Fox felt
00:25:27.700 comfortable because I
00:25:29.200 left.
00:25:29.760 They didn't have a ratings
00:25:30.680 dip.
00:25:31.720 Bill O'Reilly left first
00:25:33.200 year of the Trump
00:25:33.660 administration.
00:25:34.080 They didn't have a ratings
00:25:34.880 dip.
00:25:35.260 And I would suggest
00:25:36.420 those situations are very
00:25:37.960 different than this one.
00:25:38.880 I left voluntarily.
00:25:39.900 No one's going to hold
00:25:40.760 that against Fox.
00:25:41.960 And then they quickly
00:25:43.180 replaced my time slot
00:25:44.840 with at first the five,
00:25:45.980 which didn't work.
00:25:46.760 But ultimately,
00:25:47.780 Tucker went there
00:25:48.600 and then he moved to the
00:25:49.840 APM once Bill left.
00:25:51.820 And and so they they
00:25:52.920 chose well.
00:25:53.760 Right.
00:25:53.920 But it was during the
00:25:54.580 Trump administration.
00:25:55.420 The O'Reilly thing is
00:25:56.180 different because they
00:25:56.700 fired him.
00:25:57.800 But it was right during
00:25:58.740 Trump.
00:25:59.160 It was in the during the
00:25:59.860 height of Trump.
00:26:00.580 And they had that cushion.
00:26:01.900 They had the ratings gift
00:26:03.080 of Donald Trump.
00:26:04.600 I mean, for the love of
00:26:05.500 God, CNN's ratings were
00:26:06.620 high.
00:26:07.300 Like that was the power
00:26:08.760 of Trump.
00:26:09.800 Now they're in a very
00:26:11.160 different place.
00:26:12.360 And the one interesting
00:26:14.320 guy they really had with
00:26:15.820 all due respect to the
00:26:16.560 other personalities and
00:26:17.380 Tucker's just the
00:26:17.980 unicorn.
00:26:19.500 The one interesting guy
00:26:20.660 they had, they turfed
00:26:21.540 and the viewership
00:26:23.320 has disappeared.
00:26:25.720 It's they've lost a
00:26:27.020 million viewers.
00:26:27.900 And it's some have gone
00:26:29.800 to Newsmax, but not
00:26:31.460 all.
00:26:32.360 Most, I think, have come
00:26:33.360 over into the digital
00:26:34.480 lane and now are
00:26:36.620 ungettable.
00:26:37.480 They're not going back
00:26:38.540 to Fox.
00:26:39.720 Fox is Bud Light.
00:26:40.980 It's embarrassing to
00:26:41.800 watch them.
00:26:42.220 They feel betrayed and
00:26:43.580 like they don't like their
00:26:44.580 audience.
00:26:45.000 And on top of that, a lot
00:26:46.940 of people hadn't even
00:26:47.660 discovered podcasting or
00:26:50.280 digital media as a
00:26:51.560 source of especially older
00:26:52.620 people.
00:26:53.320 And now they have.
00:26:54.420 They were forced over
00:26:55.480 into this lane.
00:26:55.960 And once you forced over
00:26:56.820 here, you're really
00:26:57.780 enjoying.
00:26:58.380 It's a totally different
00:26:59.080 way and fun and better
00:27:00.240 way of consuming your
00:27:00.980 news.
00:27:02.780 Yeah, completely.
00:27:03.820 I agree.
00:27:04.640 And and very good point
00:27:06.200 too.
00:27:07.000 And yeah, the
00:27:07.720 circumstances of your
00:27:08.900 departure, you couldn't
00:27:09.800 really be mad at Fox for
00:27:10.760 that.
00:27:11.120 And Bill O'Reilly, there
00:27:12.140 was, you know, the the
00:27:13.560 scandals that that had
00:27:16.140 surfaced.
00:27:16.720 So but with Tucker, it
00:27:18.020 was so I mean, everyone
00:27:19.000 always thought I think
00:27:19.780 everyone always knew he
00:27:20.880 would be taken off
00:27:21.440 eventually because people
00:27:22.780 watch the show and say
00:27:23.640 there's no way they're
00:27:24.720 going to keep letting
00:27:25.200 him say every night.
00:27:25.900 When he appeared, people
00:27:26.560 would be like, I can't
00:27:27.060 believe they still let
00:27:27.720 him talk.
00:27:28.280 That's true.
00:27:28.740 I think that people
00:27:29.320 mostly mostly everyone
00:27:30.640 felt that that it would
00:27:31.680 be content related.
00:27:32.600 There'd be one show where
00:27:33.540 he said like that one
00:27:35.020 thing you can't say and
00:27:36.040 then he'd be gone.
00:27:36.980 I think that's what
00:27:37.460 everyone thought would
00:27:38.640 happen.
00:27:39.100 And so because the
00:27:39.920 circumstances are so
00:27:41.320 mysterious and so shady
00:27:42.440 and they still not giving
00:27:43.820 him a reason, you know,
00:27:45.260 Tucker told me that the
00:27:46.320 morning that his show
00:27:47.720 was taken off the air,
00:27:48.600 April 24th, Suzanne
00:27:49.940 Scott just called him up.
00:27:51.420 It was the six year
00:27:52.340 anniversary of his show
00:27:53.360 moving into the 8 p.m.
00:27:54.740 time slot.
00:27:55.560 His phone rang.
00:27:56.400 He thought he was calling
00:27:57.380 to she was calling to
00:27:58.580 congratulate him on this
00:27:59.460 anniversary.
00:28:00.400 And she just said, we're
00:28:01.600 taking your show off the
00:28:02.440 air.
00:28:02.760 Thank you very much.
00:28:03.500 Goodbye.
00:28:04.360 And at the same time, two
00:28:05.320 other executives were
00:28:06.080 calling Justin Wells, his
00:28:07.240 executive producer, with the
00:28:08.800 same thing in this kind of
00:28:09.740 coordinated hit.
00:28:10.740 And that was it.
00:28:11.400 That was he got no
00:28:12.520 explanation or anything of
00:28:13.660 the sort directly from Fox.
00:28:15.080 I mean, to say that it's rude
00:28:17.880 is a gross understatement.
00:28:19.960 It was just all thanks for
00:28:21.500 your loyal years of service.
00:28:23.100 Get the F out.
00:28:24.500 Last question.
00:28:25.260 What's what's happening now
00:28:26.580 is like I don't believe that
00:28:28.800 the 11 minute submission is
00:28:30.480 the new Tucker Carlson show.
00:28:32.660 I mean, I think he's got more
00:28:33.540 in store for us.
00:28:34.460 That was just an initial sort
00:28:35.580 of offering that had a little
00:28:37.320 bit more substance than his
00:28:38.820 earlier post that was just
00:28:40.180 sort of like, hey, I'm still
00:28:40.940 here.
00:28:41.760 So what do you think what is
00:28:42.540 happening?
00:28:42.820 What should we make of the
00:28:43.620 fact that this video dropped
00:28:45.000 and what's Tucker likely to
00:28:46.760 do next?
00:28:49.060 Well, I know a lot of his
00:28:50.120 team, he had about 25 people
00:28:51.460 at Fox working on his three
00:28:52.920 shows, two on Fox Nation and
00:28:54.780 the one on Fox News, and a
00:28:56.840 lot of those people left with
00:28:58.100 him and some who are still at
00:28:59.460 Fox are trying to get out of
00:29:00.340 their contracts to join him.
00:29:02.160 They a lot of them went up to
00:29:03.200 Maine to start rebuilding his
00:29:04.320 studio after Fox dismantled it.
00:29:06.160 We saw that in the in the news
00:29:07.520 and my Tucker hasn't told me
00:29:11.440 this, but some of the
00:29:12.800 people work for him have
00:29:13.860 told me they have ambitions
00:29:14.940 to launch his own network
00:29:16.140 similar to I guess what
00:29:17.180 Glenn Beck did with the
00:29:18.160 Blaze or Daily Wire.
00:29:20.020 That was something that was
00:29:21.480 in sort of common knowledge
00:29:23.120 in Fox a few years ago that
00:29:25.060 they were talking about
00:29:25.680 launching a network through
00:29:26.540 Fox and then Fox said, no,
00:29:28.180 no, no, we want to put you
00:29:28.960 give you two shows on Fox
00:29:30.080 Nation.
00:29:30.500 That's the future.
00:29:31.160 So they kind of missed out
00:29:31.860 on that one.
00:29:33.000 So I imagine that that might
00:29:36.120 be something that they're
00:29:37.220 working towards, but I don't
00:29:39.520 know for sure directly from
00:29:40.860 Tucker.
00:29:41.920 Fox believes it cannot have
00:29:44.240 Tucker competing against
00:29:45.680 them.
00:29:46.580 That is one of those facts
00:29:47.820 they should have thought
00:29:48.940 about a couple of months
00:29:49.880 ago.
00:29:50.840 Yeah.
00:29:51.600 Shattering.
00:29:52.040 All right.
00:29:52.200 So the book's available right
00:29:53.400 now for preorder, right?
00:29:54.320 It's just called Tucker.
00:29:55.580 That's right.
00:29:56.200 Yeah.
00:29:56.380 You go to Tucker, the book
00:29:57.240 dot com to find out more
00:29:58.400 anywhere you get books.
00:29:59.300 You can preorder it.
00:30:00.180 It comes out July 18th.
00:30:02.020 Look, even before this, he's
00:30:03.640 a fascinating figure, a
00:30:05.160 longtime friend.
00:30:06.060 And I'm really glad you did
00:30:07.000 this piece.
00:30:07.500 There have been so many hit
00:30:08.260 pieces on Tucker.
00:30:09.280 He genuinely is despised by
00:30:11.320 many on the left based on a
00:30:12.660 bunch of misinformation.
00:30:13.920 Not all.
00:30:14.640 Some of his positions are
00:30:15.640 controversial and you may
00:30:16.460 choose not to like him, but
00:30:17.640 you can't deny the guy is
00:30:18.740 absolutely fascinating.
00:30:20.240 Thank you so much for
00:30:21.040 writing the book and for
00:30:21.660 coming on.
00:30:22.680 Oh, thank you so much.
00:30:23.480 It was such a pleasure.
00:30:24.880 Likewise.
00:30:25.480 All right.
00:30:25.660 And we're going to be right
00:30:26.200 back with whether Prince
00:30:28.220 Harry might get the boot
00:30:29.740 from America for having not
00:30:32.580 crossed the right T's and
00:30:33.920 dotted the right I's in
00:30:35.860 trying to get into this
00:30:36.640 country in the first place.
00:30:37.620 Fascinating look at his
00:30:39.160 immigration history with
00:30:40.320 Nile Gardner.
00:30:44.480 Did someone in the U.S.
00:30:45.940 government give Prince Harry
00:30:47.340 preferential treatment when
00:30:49.260 he decided to move to
00:30:50.640 America?
00:30:51.500 You know, this guy does not
00:30:52.240 think the rules apply to
00:30:53.180 him.
00:30:53.740 The question is whether we
00:30:54.860 agreed our immigration
00:30:56.200 officials.
00:30:57.460 That is the question at the
00:30:58.280 heart of a new legal
00:30:59.540 challenge trying to see
00:31:00.960 those documents.
00:31:02.400 Joining me now, Nile
00:31:03.340 Gardner, director of the
00:31:04.720 Margaret Thatcher Center
00:31:05.840 for Freedom at the
00:31:06.880 Heritage Foundation, the
00:31:08.460 organization that is
00:31:09.740 rightfully demanding
00:31:10.720 answers from U.S.
00:31:12.440 immigration authorities.
00:31:14.080 Nile, welcome to the
00:31:14.640 show.
00:31:14.840 Great to see you.
00:31:15.980 Great to see you, Megan.
00:31:16.960 Many thanks for having me
00:31:18.540 on the show today.
00:31:19.820 Of course.
00:31:20.320 All right.
00:31:20.520 So explain to the audience
00:31:21.660 what it is you guys are
00:31:23.640 trying to get from our
00:31:24.940 immigration officials.
00:31:26.380 So the Heritage Foundation
00:31:27.320 is calling for the release
00:31:29.480 of Prince Harry's
00:31:30.880 immigration records.
00:31:32.840 and we have sued the
00:31:35.380 Department of Homeland
00:31:36.340 Security for the release of
00:31:38.520 those records.
00:31:39.780 We believe there is a very
00:31:40.860 clear public interest in the
00:31:43.400 release of Prince Harry's
00:31:45.540 application to reside in the
00:31:47.300 United States.
00:31:48.800 After all, he admitted to
00:31:50.020 widespread and extensive drug
00:31:52.520 use in his memoir, Spare, a
00:31:55.100 bestselling book on both sides
00:31:56.440 of the Atlantic, selling a huge
00:31:58.200 number of copies.
00:31:58.920 And he talks in detail in Spare
00:32:00.940 about very extensive
00:32:02.640 illegal drug use.
00:32:04.640 And we want to establish
00:32:06.380 whether or not Prince Harry
00:32:07.460 was honest in his
00:32:08.980 immigration application.
00:32:10.840 After all, the penalties are
00:32:11.960 extremely severe if he was
00:32:14.340 lying at all in his
00:32:16.000 application.
00:32:16.500 After all, that would be
00:32:17.120 perjury, a criminal
00:32:18.120 offence.
00:32:19.040 So we want to know whether or
00:32:20.600 not Harry was completely
00:32:21.520 honest in his application,
00:32:22.660 but also whether or not he
00:32:24.500 received any kind of
00:32:26.140 preferential treatment in terms
00:32:28.640 of his application to the
00:32:30.660 United States and whether
00:32:32.360 senior U.S.
00:32:33.540 officials were involved in
00:32:35.940 fast-tracking his application
00:32:38.300 and whether or not they
00:32:40.700 turned a blind eye to his
00:32:42.360 extensive drug use.
00:32:44.140 Because, Niall, explain to
00:32:45.920 the audience, because if he,
00:32:47.580 if there's an issue about
00:32:49.340 drug use, people may be
00:32:50.220 wondering why you're
00:32:50.980 referencing his admissions
00:32:52.080 about drug use.
00:32:53.080 There is an issue for visa
00:32:54.500 applicants when it comes to
00:32:56.160 prior drug use.
00:32:57.120 Absolutely.
00:32:59.760 So when a foreign national
00:33:03.180 applies for a U.S.
00:33:04.740 visa, they are asked whether
00:33:06.880 or not they have used drugs
00:33:07.940 in the past.
00:33:08.960 If they say yes, they then
00:33:10.680 have to fill out a more
00:33:12.560 detailed questionnaire, answer
00:33:14.260 further questions.
00:33:15.100 In some cases, individuals
00:33:16.160 are interviewed by U.S.
00:33:17.160 officials.
00:33:18.620 And so the United States is
00:33:20.420 very strict in terms of
00:33:23.060 applicants for U.S.
00:33:25.940 visas stipulating clearly
00:33:28.920 whether or not they've used
00:33:30.400 drugs.
00:33:30.740 And if so, they then have to
00:33:32.280 outline in detail their drug
00:33:33.680 use.
00:33:34.300 And so the rules are very,
00:33:35.840 very strict.
00:33:36.980 In many cases, individuals
00:33:38.380 are refused entry to the
00:33:39.840 United States based upon
00:33:40.940 their drug use.
00:33:41.680 And that's happened in a
00:33:42.760 number of high-profile cases
00:33:44.440 involving British
00:33:45.880 celebrities in the past.
00:33:47.800 And so Harry has admitted
00:33:50.760 to extremely extensive
00:33:53.780 drug use involving a large
00:33:57.700 number of illegal substances.
00:33:59.640 And therefore, his application
00:34:02.000 should have received a great
00:34:04.680 deal of scrutiny by U.S.
00:34:06.440 immigration officials.
00:34:08.740 And I would say in many cases
00:34:11.020 like Harry's, those individuals
00:34:13.700 have been denied entry to the
00:34:15.600 United States.
00:34:16.600 Right.
00:34:17.040 There is a record of that, of
00:34:18.660 other people being told, no,
00:34:20.540 you're a drug abuser.
00:34:21.480 Yes.
00:34:21.860 Or you've had that in your past.
00:34:23.280 You're not coming in the U.S.
00:34:24.640 Some may think it's an
00:34:25.600 antiquated rule, but it is a
00:34:27.080 rule that has been enforced
00:34:28.880 repeatedly, even against some
00:34:30.640 public figures.
00:34:32.080 Now, the New York Post reports
00:34:33.380 that sources close to Harry say
00:34:35.680 he answered the questions on his
00:34:37.280 application seeking a U.S.
00:34:38.740 visa truthfully.
00:34:40.620 Now, if that is true, then he
00:34:42.500 would have admitted to the prior
00:34:43.620 drug use, and if the documents
00:34:45.500 show that, where does that
00:34:47.520 leave us?
00:34:49.740 Yeah, so that's a very good
00:34:52.040 point there.
00:34:52.740 And I think one newspaper
00:34:54.080 article in the U.K.
00:34:55.440 referenced a source close to
00:34:57.260 Harry who claimed that Harry
00:34:58.520 had been honest and truthful
00:35:01.440 in terms of his application.
00:35:04.400 If that is the case, then, of
00:35:06.180 course, Harry should fully
00:35:08.240 support the release of his
00:35:10.520 immigration records.
00:35:11.480 We've heard nothing at all, of
00:35:14.360 course, from Harry's camp with
00:35:15.460 regard to the immigration
00:35:16.840 issue.
00:35:18.820 And if Harry has nothing to
00:35:20.520 hide, he should fully support
00:35:22.280 the release of those documents.
00:35:24.200 But even if he was honest and
00:35:26.680 truthful, there's also the issue
00:35:28.000 of whether he received some kind
00:35:31.440 of preferential treatment by U.S.
00:35:34.660 officials.
00:35:35.220 That's another matter as well that
00:35:36.800 we want to really look into.
00:35:38.920 We believe the U.S.
00:35:39.820 public has the right to see
00:35:42.180 those immigration records.
00:35:45.440 Harry, after all, is one of the
00:35:46.300 most famous individuals in the
00:35:48.240 world.
00:35:49.020 He is a household name now in the
00:35:50.560 United States.
00:35:51.160 He's a huge public figure.
00:35:53.260 There's a public interest, I think,
00:35:54.500 in establishing exactly what was on
00:35:56.580 the immigration application, but
00:35:58.220 also who intervened on his behalf
00:36:00.680 in terms of U.S.
00:36:02.560 government officials.
00:36:04.200 It appears as though his visa was
00:36:06.340 fast-tracked.
00:36:07.920 Now, many people applying to the
00:36:10.160 United States have to wait an
00:36:12.420 extremely long time to have their
00:36:13.960 application approved, in some cases
00:36:16.060 many years.
00:36:17.480 But Harry seemed to sail through the
00:36:19.280 process.
00:36:19.840 So there's also the issue of whether
00:36:23.060 or not U.S.
00:36:24.080 officials directly intervened to give
00:36:27.580 him preferential treatment, which
00:36:28.920 would be absolutely wrong.
00:36:30.460 Everyone should be treated equally and
00:36:32.160 fairly.
00:36:32.280 How is any of this influenced by the
00:36:33.700 fact that he's married to an
00:36:34.680 American?
00:36:37.020 Yeah.
00:36:37.420 So, of course, Harry's married to
00:36:40.080 American citizen Meghan Markle.
00:36:42.520 That should not make any difference,
00:36:44.200 actually, in terms of the scrutiny for
00:36:47.900 his application.
00:36:50.240 There is a strong possibility, of
00:36:51.860 course, that Harry may seek at some
00:36:54.700 stage to apply for a green card,
00:36:57.680 eventually possibly U.S.
00:36:59.500 citizenship as well.
00:37:01.340 Without a shadow of doubt, I think
00:37:02.880 the scrutiny that is being given to
00:37:04.900 Harry's immigration records right
00:37:08.120 now and his background of drug use
00:37:11.180 will certainly, I think, be a
00:37:14.780 complicating factor for any future
00:37:17.560 application by Prince Harry for a
00:37:19.460 green card and for citizenship.
00:37:21.180 What if he doesn't get it?
00:37:21.440 So the stakes are certainly very high
00:37:23.640 here.
00:37:24.420 What if he did lie?
00:37:25.440 If he did lie, does the visa get
00:37:27.800 revoked?
00:37:28.800 And is there a scenario in which he
00:37:30.100 gets kicked out and sent back to
00:37:32.420 England, which is where most of us
00:37:33.760 would like both of them to go?
00:37:36.160 That's a very good question, Meghan.
00:37:38.140 And if he did lie on his application,
00:37:40.320 that would be perjury, a criminal
00:37:42.800 offense.
00:37:43.640 Now, normally in these circumstances,
00:37:45.920 individuals involved are asked to
00:37:48.460 leave the United States.
00:37:50.740 And so I think that would happen in the
00:37:52.980 case of Prince Harry.
00:37:54.880 There would also be immense, I think,
00:37:57.300 public scrutiny of his immigration
00:38:01.360 application if it was released.
00:38:03.420 And I think there would be intense media
00:38:05.360 interest.
00:38:06.520 I think that US officials certainly would
00:38:09.500 have to take action here.
00:38:11.960 And undoubtedly, I do think that Harry's
00:38:15.260 position in the United States would be
00:38:17.660 absolutely untenable if it was revealed
00:38:19.820 that he had lied on an immigration
00:38:21.840 application.
00:38:23.580 And most likely, I think, that he would
00:38:27.780 actually seek to go to a country like
00:38:30.820 Canada, for example.
00:38:31.780 He is hugely unpopular in the United
00:38:33.380 Kingdom.
00:38:35.060 Harry and Meghan are two of the most
00:38:36.920 deeply unpopular figures in the UK
00:38:38.840 right now.
00:38:39.820 I think it's highly unlikely that he would
00:38:41.500 seek to return to the United Kingdom.
00:38:45.020 A more likely destination, I think, would
00:38:46.720 be Canada or somewhere in Europe,
00:38:49.820 I mean, he is suing, by my count, at least
00:38:53.300 six different entities or has at least six
00:38:55.880 different lawsuits going in many claiming
00:38:58.620 he's the victim of somebody else's
00:39:00.580 dishonest reporting.
00:39:02.240 You know, he goes after the media every
00:39:04.000 other day.
00:39:04.660 Yes.
00:39:05.040 Or it's alleged dishonest reporting.
00:39:07.220 So if he lied on his application to come
00:39:10.320 into this country, it's a deal.
00:39:11.880 It is important to know.
00:39:13.680 And I wouldn't put it past him for one
00:39:15.220 second.
00:39:15.640 I mean, maybe he'll try to wiggle out of
00:39:17.280 it by saying the wording of the visa allowed
00:39:19.980 him some wiggle room on what he said.
00:39:22.660 But I would be shocked if he actually
00:39:24.340 admitted his prior drug use on his visa
00:39:26.600 application.
00:39:27.060 And I feel like, Niall, you tell me, this
00:39:29.520 is why DHS is so reluctant to give you the
00:39:32.440 document.
00:39:32.980 You've petitioned for it.
00:39:34.260 They've stonewalled you.
00:39:35.480 That's why you're filing this lawsuit saying
00:39:37.400 it's a matter of public interest.
00:39:39.180 Now, normally they might drag their heels
00:39:41.420 on that if it were just a regular old private
00:39:43.300 Joe, but this is a guy who's out there bragging
00:39:46.460 about all of this.
00:39:47.620 He's made it public.
00:39:48.680 So the confidentiality argument should go out
00:39:50.420 the window.
00:39:51.260 So why do you think DHS is stonewalling you?
00:39:55.100 Yeah, great, great points there, Megan.
00:39:56.940 And yes, absolutely.
00:39:59.460 DHS, the Biden administration, is stonewalling
00:40:02.440 this request, which is why we have gone to
00:40:06.440 federal court.
00:40:07.300 In fact, there was a hearing earlier this week
00:40:09.220 presided over by a federal judge to discuss the
00:40:12.100 freedom of information request and our call for
00:40:16.320 expedited processing of it.
00:40:18.500 And the federal judge demanded of DHS that they
00:40:22.180 actually, within seven days, get back to him
00:40:24.740 outlining whether or not they're going to release
00:40:27.420 Harry's immigration records.
00:40:29.180 So this is a matter that is being taken very
00:40:31.780 seriously at a very high level.
00:40:34.220 And you have a federal judge now weighing in on
00:40:36.680 this.
00:40:37.200 And it's no surprise, of course, the Biden
00:40:38.900 administration is stonewalling.
00:40:40.180 They don't want to release the records.
00:40:44.420 Potentially, there is embarrassing information
00:40:46.600 contained in those records.
00:40:47.960 And this stonewalling from the Biden administration
00:40:50.600 is absolutely unacceptable.
00:40:52.040 It's outrageous.
00:40:53.480 The American people have a right to know clearly
00:40:56.320 what's in Harry's immigration records.
00:40:58.780 He is a huge public figure.
00:41:01.700 In fact, he has become one of the most well-known
00:41:03.860 individuals in the United States today.
00:41:05.760 So there's a very clear public interest.
00:41:09.500 And the refusal so far of the Biden administration
00:41:13.300 to release Harry's documents, I think, is an
00:41:15.340 absolute travesty.
00:41:16.920 It is an insult, actually, I think, to the American
00:41:19.680 people.
00:41:19.860 Let's see it.
00:41:20.680 If Harry has nothing to hide, if he has nothing
00:41:21.400 to hide, he should be calling for it to be released.
00:41:23.360 He should say, go ahead and take a look at it.
00:41:24.500 Absolutely, 100%.
00:41:24.880 I have no problem with that.
00:41:27.120 I mean, we pointed out how other people have been denied.
00:41:29.920 Kate Moss, Kate Moss, the famous model,
00:41:32.100 had difficulty getting a U.S. work visa
00:41:33.980 after she appeared in the tabloids
00:41:36.040 chopping and snorting a white powder.
00:41:38.860 Harry has admitted this isn't just occasional,
00:41:40.940 you know, weed smoking, although that's also
00:41:44.140 been admitted to by him.
00:41:45.580 He's admitted to using hard drugs in his memoir
00:41:49.100 and on his media tour.
00:41:50.460 Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:54.020 Harry has admitted to very extensive use of illegal
00:41:59.220 hard drugs in the United Kingdom, but also he's admitted
00:42:02.500 to drug use in the United States.
00:42:03.960 And in fact, he has, in fact, endorsed the use of some
00:42:08.140 kinds of drugs, actually, for therapeutic reasons.
00:42:12.560 And so it's all there in his book and also in his interviews as well.
00:42:21.380 It's all on public record here.
00:42:24.200 And Prince Harry should be held to account.
00:42:27.360 The United States government should be held to account
00:42:29.860 for not releasing the records.
00:42:32.720 And this is a matter of major public interest.
00:42:35.880 And also it should be pointed out, I think, Megan,
00:42:39.420 that Prince Harry has become a major public figure
00:42:44.420 in the United States and actively involved
00:42:47.100 on a number of causes.
00:42:48.940 He's given some big speeches.
00:42:50.700 He's given a large number of very high profile media interviews.
00:42:55.060 You don't understand him.
00:42:56.040 He wants his privacy.
00:42:57.320 He was made to do those things.
00:42:59.160 What he really wants is a private life away from the glare
00:43:02.500 and glitter of the cameras.
00:43:03.900 All right, wait, I've got to ask you about this other lawsuit
00:43:06.860 he's involved in.
00:43:07.740 So he's he's filed several.
00:43:09.160 You filed this one, but he's filed several.
00:43:10.940 And what this one over in the UK, he was on the witness stand
00:43:14.440 all week testifying about except for Monday
00:43:16.840 because he missed the opening arguments
00:43:18.980 because he wanted to be at Lilibet's birthday party,
00:43:22.160 even though the judge had said, be here.
00:43:23.560 And the judge was none too happy because the rules
00:43:25.220 don't apply to him.
00:43:25.920 You see, in any event, he's claiming that this
00:43:28.700 this group, the Mirror, that publication in the UK
00:43:32.940 did things like phone hacking to him.
00:43:35.900 But he has, as far as I can tell, very little proof.
00:43:38.260 They've admitted that they did one untoward thing one time
00:43:40.600 with respect to him and they've apologized.
00:43:42.700 But he has not been able to prove that his phones were hacked.
00:43:46.900 He just keeps saying, I had weird missed voicemails
00:43:49.440 or missed calls, like lots of missed calls on my phone
00:43:52.540 and voicemails that it looked like somebody had already listened to.
00:43:55.540 They didn't have the like new dot on them.
00:43:57.740 I mean, that's not proof, unfortunately, for Harry.
00:43:59.500 So we'll see how that goes.
00:44:01.100 But here's what I wanted to ask you about.
00:44:02.400 In that litigation, he comes out, Niall,
00:44:05.260 and he blames all of his problems.
00:44:08.200 I mean, all of them on the media.
00:44:10.320 He actually said in his quote, they could say he submitted
00:44:13.160 his testimony, but he did it in writing the direct exam,
00:44:15.900 the cross exam is live.
00:44:17.660 And he said in his witness statement,
00:44:19.820 during his adolescence and young adulthood,
00:44:21.840 the tabloids, the evil tabloids cast him in a role.
00:44:25.080 The thicko, the cheat, the underage drinker,
00:44:27.620 the irresponsible drug taker.
00:44:30.040 I ended up feeling as though I was playing up
00:44:32.760 to a lot of the headlines and the stereotypes
00:44:35.140 that they wanted to pin on me,
00:44:37.320 mainly because I thought that if they are printing this rubbish about me
00:44:39.920 and people were believing it,
00:44:41.380 I may as well do the crime, so to speak.
00:44:43.760 He takes responsibility for absolutely nothing.
00:44:49.820 Yeah, precisely.
00:44:51.440 And I closely follow the court proceedings in London this week.
00:44:55.520 And Harry comes across as someone who has no sense
00:45:01.160 of personal responsibility at all.
00:45:03.480 He comes across as basically a hugely entitled figure,
00:45:08.720 extremely narcissistic, I think, in many respects,
00:45:11.940 but also delusional and paranoid.
00:45:14.060 And I think that his evidence this week
00:45:18.580 and his overall approach to the hearings
00:45:21.080 has been a disaster for Harry, actually.
00:45:26.180 And I think the British public have been monumentally unimpressed
00:45:29.480 with his performance this week
00:45:31.980 and are turning even further against him.
00:45:34.940 This is an individual who I think has real delusions of grandeur.
00:45:42.720 And the same is the case, of course, with Meghan Markle as well.
00:45:46.740 And the level of paranoid delusion and narcissism
00:45:51.940 that we saw on display in the High Court this week
00:45:54.620 was absolutely staggering,
00:45:56.120 even by the standards of Prince Harry here.
00:45:58.580 And he has very little chance, I think,
00:46:02.320 of winning this case against the Mirror Group newspapers.
00:46:05.180 He has no firm evidence whatsoever.
00:46:09.420 And I think that his appearance in court this week
00:46:15.100 was an absolute disaster, I think, in many respects.
00:46:18.860 He didn't even show up on the first day, as you pointed out.
00:46:21.580 And he came across as incredibly arrogant, actually.
00:46:24.940 And that's something I think the British public
00:46:26.400 really don't like at all.
00:46:29.300 And Harry has become, I think,
00:46:31.220 one of the most unpopular public figures
00:46:33.340 in the UK of the modern era.
00:46:35.800 And that's saying a lot.
00:46:37.580 Well, here's the thing.
00:46:38.400 I mean, he spent the past six months
00:46:40.380 in his Netflix show, in his memoir spare,
00:46:44.200 in his interviews, telling us the royal family
00:46:46.500 was responsible for all the terrible leaks about him.
00:46:48.840 The royal family was out to get him and the palace aides.
00:46:51.820 And now he's in court saying,
00:46:53.420 oh, you know what?
00:46:54.060 I might have been wrong about some of the things
00:46:55.480 I put in my book.
00:46:56.400 It's actually the evil tabloids.
00:46:58.420 So which is it?
00:46:59.580 Was it the royal family was out to get you
00:47:01.400 or the tabloids were out to get you?
00:47:03.920 Because he seems to have blame for everyone
00:47:05.900 other than himself.
00:47:07.040 And I'll give you just one example.
00:47:08.760 He's now claiming Piers Morgan,
00:47:10.360 who's a great, correct critic of Harry and Meghan,
00:47:14.820 that the reason Piers doesn't like them
00:47:17.820 is because Piers worked for one of these publications
00:47:22.280 back in the day.
00:47:23.200 He was editor of the Daily Mirror between 1995 and 2004.
00:47:26.920 And he accuses Piers of doing bad things.
00:47:29.880 And that all of Piers' criticism of them
00:47:32.660 is in retaliation for the fact that Harry's brought this lawsuit.
00:47:37.660 I'm looking at this thinking,
00:47:40.140 or Harry, he, like the rest of us,
00:47:42.840 just doesn't like you or your wife.
00:47:45.720 It's something you're going to have to learn
00:47:47.260 to get your arms around.
00:47:48.160 I'll give you the final word now.
00:47:50.960 Yes, I think that Harry just blames everyone else
00:47:54.380 for his own problems and issues.
00:47:57.100 And clearly he has a big vendetta against the British media,
00:48:01.660 in particular against figures like Piers Morgan.
00:48:04.120 Everything Piers Morgan, I think,
00:48:05.340 is said about Prince Harry is absolutely 100% correct.
00:48:07.960 I think also Harry has an intense hatred
00:48:10.800 for the royal family as well.
00:48:12.300 And he has used his presence in America
00:48:15.800 as a launch pad from which to attack the royal family,
00:48:19.180 the British people, the British media.
00:48:22.040 And I think it's absolutely outrageous, actually.
00:48:24.720 And I think that he is somebody with no sense
00:48:28.000 of responsibility for his own actions.
00:48:31.800 He will blame everybody else.
00:48:34.080 And Harry is only himself to blame
00:48:36.540 for everything in his life, actually.
00:48:39.740 He can sue to the cows.
00:48:42.520 He presents himself as a permanent victim.
00:48:44.920 Yeah, that's the problem.
00:48:45.760 He can sue everybody.
00:48:46.660 But the problem is his biggest enemy is inside.
00:48:49.580 And until he manages that one,
00:48:51.200 his problems aren't going away.
00:48:52.820 Niall Gardner, what a pleasure.
00:48:54.400 We'll continue to follow it.
00:48:55.340 Let us know how it works out.
00:48:56.820 I will do.
00:48:57.460 Many thanks, Megan.
00:48:58.700 All the best.
00:48:59.440 We will be right back with Dr. Miriam Grossman.
00:49:01.860 You're not going to want to miss her.
00:49:03.240 Now we're joined by someone
00:49:08.360 I have been wanting to speak with
00:49:10.200 since I saw her in Matt Walsh's
00:49:13.100 of The Daily Wire.
00:49:14.580 What is a woman film last year?
00:49:17.040 It was all this crazy nonsense
00:49:18.180 being spewed in there,
00:49:19.140 which Matt was exposing.
00:49:20.560 Then came this voice of reason.
00:49:22.180 You were like, thank God.
00:49:23.180 Who is this woman?
00:49:24.440 Well, her name is Dr. Miriam Grossman.
00:49:26.900 She's a practicing psychiatrist,
00:49:29.080 author and public speaker.
00:49:30.740 And she has provided
00:49:32.740 and continues to provide
00:49:33.940 a much needed voice of reason
00:49:35.300 in this country.
00:49:36.860 The documentary in which she appeared
00:49:38.400 now has over 180 million views on Twitter.
00:49:42.220 I should say that the view thing
00:49:43.720 is a little odd.
00:49:44.660 You basically get a view counted
00:49:46.080 if you just see it for two seconds,
00:49:48.020 you know, if it scrolls by in your timeline.
00:49:49.860 But there's no question
00:49:50.780 that the documentary
00:49:52.080 has been huge at The Daily Wire
00:49:54.060 and got even more attention
00:49:55.340 on its one year anniversary
00:49:57.000 late last week.
00:49:58.880 Here's a clip of Dr. Grossman
00:50:01.180 in the documentary.
00:50:03.500 Is there anyone willing
00:50:04.720 to give me a straight answer?
00:50:06.720 Ideally, somebody with a bunch
00:50:08.080 of medical degrees on the wall.
00:50:10.880 Dr. Grossman, thanks for talking to us.
00:50:13.420 So first, let's define the terms
00:50:15.360 sex and gender.
00:50:17.240 Yes, please.
00:50:18.260 Sex is biology.
00:50:22.580 Sex is unchanging.
00:50:24.680 It's based on chromosomes.
00:50:27.980 99.999% of the cells in the body
00:50:31.920 are marked either male or female.
00:50:36.120 Gender, on the other hand,
00:50:37.760 is a perception.
00:50:39.360 It's a feeling.
00:50:40.660 It's a way of identifying.
00:50:42.260 It's an experience.
00:50:44.720 Okay, that's subjective.
00:50:47.480 It sounds like what you're saying
00:50:49.080 is that if a man is male,
00:50:52.980 but thinks of himself as a woman,
00:50:56.860 he's not actually a woman?
00:50:59.200 That's correct.
00:51:01.960 Believe it or not,
00:51:03.060 that's a controversial statement
00:51:04.260 in 2023 America.
00:51:06.300 Dr. Grossman has a new book.
00:51:07.800 It's called Lost in Transnation.
00:51:10.880 That is such a good title.
00:51:12.580 Lost in Transnation.
00:51:14.460 A Child Psychiatrist's Guide
00:51:16.440 Out of the Madness.
00:51:19.620 I'm just going to say it one more time.
00:51:21.200 Lost in Transnation.
00:51:22.980 A Child Psychiatrist's Guide
00:51:24.300 Out of the Madness.
00:51:25.740 It's out next month
00:51:26.640 and she joins me now.
00:51:28.060 Welcome, Dr. Grossman.
00:51:29.080 So great to have you on.
00:51:30.600 Well, thank you so much,
00:51:32.240 Megan, for having me.
00:51:33.420 I really do appreciate it.
00:51:35.680 Oh, the pleasure's all mine.
00:51:37.220 So you have been way ahead of the curve
00:51:40.400 on all this,
00:51:41.720 the curve on all of this craziness
00:51:43.900 has been unfolding.
00:51:44.900 And I told the audience a week ago,
00:51:47.300 I've been slow to come to these realizations
00:51:49.980 that you've been saying for a while.
00:51:51.860 So when was it that you first
00:51:53.400 sort of went from,
00:51:54.980 this is a minor problem,
00:51:57.140 you know,
00:51:57.500 a few people have this,
00:51:58.960 be kind,
00:52:00.240 to,
00:52:01.520 I have to write this book.
00:52:03.020 We've got to stop this role.
00:52:05.340 Yeah.
00:52:06.420 Well, first,
00:52:07.260 let me acknowledge
00:52:08.000 that you've really done a great job
00:52:10.320 recently on this issue.
00:52:12.300 And, you know,
00:52:13.500 I've seen some of your material,
00:52:16.940 especially recently,
00:52:18.800 I think within the past week or so,
00:52:21.280 and you're really doing a great job
00:52:23.080 staying on top of this issue.
00:52:25.080 Thank you.
00:52:25.620 So I want to say
00:52:27.780 that I appreciate that
00:52:28.880 and I want to acknowledge that.
00:52:30.980 I appreciate that.
00:52:32.080 I also want to acknowledge
00:52:34.120 just at the get-go
00:52:35.340 that there are individuals,
00:52:38.120 there are children,
00:52:39.740 very rare children,
00:52:41.420 we're talking about
00:52:42.080 one in tens of thousands of people
00:52:45.680 who at a young age,
00:52:49.280 before the age of five or seven,
00:52:52.160 have a strong inner sense
00:52:55.920 that they are
00:52:57.760 or should be
00:52:59.460 the opposite sex.
00:53:01.620 Now, again,
00:53:02.660 those are extremely rare kids.
00:53:05.160 We've always known about them.
00:53:06.740 I learned about them
00:53:08.400 when I was in medical school
00:53:10.820 and doing my training
00:53:12.800 in child psychiatry,
00:53:14.120 but they were so unbelievably rare
00:53:17.440 that I never expected
00:53:19.780 to see even one child
00:53:21.960 like that in my practice.
00:53:24.280 And now here I am
00:53:25.500 a few decades later
00:53:26.960 and that's all I do.
00:53:29.560 My practice is composed
00:53:31.440 of kids
00:53:34.180 who have distress
00:53:37.140 over their sex bodies,
00:53:39.940 let's put it that way,
00:53:41.560 and their parents.
00:53:44.140 However,
00:53:45.500 the kids that I'm seeing
00:53:46.920 are not those kids
00:53:48.940 that I described to you
00:53:50.240 a moment ago,
00:53:51.020 those one in 10,000 kids
00:53:53.320 who recognized
00:53:57.400 and started to express
00:53:59.020 their discomfort
00:53:59.880 at an early age.
00:54:02.220 No,
00:54:02.840 these are kids
00:54:03.800 without any history
00:54:05.580 whatsoever
00:54:06.340 of having been uncomfortable
00:54:08.320 with being boys and girls.
00:54:10.780 These are kids
00:54:11.880 who never would have heard
00:54:14.920 about the very,
00:54:15.940 that idea
00:54:16.900 of being born
00:54:17.820 in the wrong body
00:54:18.760 had they not heard
00:54:21.000 about it from friends
00:54:22.280 or on the internet
00:54:23.800 or from their teachers
00:54:25.260 or their guidance counselor.
00:54:27.620 So this is an altogether
00:54:29.540 different group of people
00:54:32.240 and that's why I'm here today
00:54:36.040 to talk to you
00:54:37.440 about those kids
00:54:38.560 and that's why I wrote the book
00:54:41.340 because parents
00:54:42.980 are being blindsided.
00:54:44.840 They're being ambushed
00:54:46.360 and suddenly
00:54:48.160 out of the blue
00:54:49.320 their child
00:54:51.280 announces
00:54:52.600 or texts to them
00:54:54.000 that
00:54:55.760 they are now
00:54:57.460 not their son,
00:54:58.860 they're their daughter,
00:55:01.200 they have a new name,
00:55:03.120 they have new pronouns
00:55:04.420 and
00:55:05.800 they're informing
00:55:07.300 their parents
00:55:08.240 that this is now
00:55:09.740 the reality
00:55:10.440 and they would like
00:55:12.600 an appointment
00:55:13.180 at a clinic
00:55:14.180 to get hormones.
00:55:16.600 Now
00:55:17.060 most parents
00:55:18.920 are not expecting
00:55:20.500 this at all
00:55:21.620 and like I said
00:55:23.480 they're blindsided.
00:55:25.720 They don't know
00:55:26.700 how to respond.
00:55:28.260 They don't know
00:55:28.880 how to understand
00:55:30.020 what this is all about
00:55:31.460 and so they're stuck
00:55:34.120 in a massive crisis
00:55:36.280 and it often
00:55:38.720 turns into
00:55:39.860 a catastrophe.
00:55:42.020 I'm not using
00:55:43.020 that word lightly.
00:55:44.720 I use
00:55:46.080 that word
00:55:47.260 after a lot
00:55:48.300 of
00:55:48.560 deliberation
00:55:49.820 and I have seen
00:55:51.720 at this point
00:55:52.560 I've talked to
00:55:53.780 hundreds of parents
00:55:55.160 in whose homes
00:55:57.500 this has become
00:56:00.260 catastrophic
00:56:01.340 and so
00:56:03.120 I wrote
00:56:04.400 this book
00:56:05.000 in order
00:56:06.640 to
00:56:07.240 provide
00:56:08.440 parents
00:56:09.080 ahead of time.
00:56:11.040 I don't want
00:56:11.760 them
00:56:12.120 to suddenly
00:56:13.240 at the
00:56:14.020 you know
00:56:14.860 that evening
00:56:15.540 when they get
00:56:16.120 the text
00:56:16.640 or the announcement
00:56:17.420 at the dinner
00:56:18.380 table
00:56:18.820 I don't want
00:56:20.200 them to suddenly
00:56:21.080 you know
00:56:22.620 feel lost
00:56:23.920 like
00:56:24.140 what?
00:56:25.180 What do I do
00:56:26.140 with this?
00:56:26.820 Am I going to use
00:56:27.680 this new name?
00:56:28.460 Do I use
00:56:28.820 these pronouns?
00:56:29.280 Could my kid
00:56:30.380 really be
00:56:31.060 one of those
00:56:31.540 rare cases
00:56:32.520 of transgenderism?
00:56:34.340 I mean Megan
00:56:34.840 you have
00:56:35.280 three teenagers
00:56:36.060 right?
00:56:37.380 Just about
00:56:38.040 Yeah
00:56:39.020 So
00:56:40.180 what would
00:56:41.120 you do?
00:56:42.060 What would
00:56:42.420 you do?
00:56:42.900 One of your
00:56:43.220 kids
00:56:43.560 I know
00:56:44.660 what I'd do
00:56:45.240 I would do
00:56:46.040 what Abigail
00:56:46.500 Schreier said
00:56:47.140 to do in her
00:56:47.620 book
00:56:47.920 which is
00:56:48.300 we'd be
00:56:48.780 out of here
00:56:49.540 they would
00:56:49.980 be disconnected
00:56:50.880 from their
00:56:51.620 iPhone or
00:56:52.400 their iPad
00:56:52.960 immediately
00:56:54.520 and we'd
00:56:55.780 go take a
00:56:56.400 six month
00:56:57.000 trip to
00:56:58.600 see America
00:56:59.620 to go see
00:57:00.240 the Grand
00:57:00.540 Canyon
00:57:00.820 or maybe
00:57:01.580 to see
00:57:01.920 parts of
00:57:02.340 Europe
00:57:02.560 whatever we
00:57:03.480 could do
00:57:03.920 and I would
00:57:04.460 be doing
00:57:05.080 the homeschool
00:57:05.860 program
00:57:06.400 and I would
00:57:07.240 disconnect them
00:57:07.820 from all of
00:57:08.280 these forces
00:57:08.740 because it
00:57:09.380 would suggest
00:57:09.920 to me
00:57:10.240 that I may
00:57:10.640 have been
00:57:10.860 a little
00:57:11.080 absentee
00:57:11.760 and keeping
00:57:12.580 a good eye
00:57:13.500 on them
00:57:14.060 to begin
00:57:14.620 with
00:57:14.840 and what
00:57:15.160 they were
00:57:15.480 taking in
00:57:16.220 okay so
00:57:18.040 you're
00:57:18.380 you're better
00:57:19.020 prepared
00:57:19.600 and better
00:57:20.100 educated
00:57:20.740 than the
00:57:21.300 average
00:57:21.680 person
00:57:22.180 than the
00:57:22.640 average
00:57:22.960 parent
00:57:23.460 but I
00:57:24.560 would say
00:57:25.060 even more
00:57:26.080 Megan
00:57:26.680 than what
00:57:27.120 you said
00:57:27.640 is that
00:57:28.860 I would
00:57:29.360 have wanted
00:57:29.920 you years
00:57:31.500 ago if
00:57:32.180 possible
00:57:32.760 but it's
00:57:33.280 never too
00:57:33.760 late
00:57:34.060 to begin
00:57:35.500 educating
00:57:36.740 your child
00:57:37.600 with the
00:57:39.440 medically
00:57:41.040 accurate
00:57:41.640 biologically
00:57:42.520 accurate
00:57:43.100 information
00:57:43.760 that they
00:57:44.200 need
00:57:44.500 so that
00:57:45.480 when they
00:57:45.820 first
00:57:46.220 oh great
00:57:47.900 but it's
00:57:48.900 not about
00:57:49.200 me like
00:57:49.480 I'm not
00:57:49.880 worried about
00:57:50.200 my kids
00:57:50.560 I'm worried
00:57:50.880 about kids
00:57:51.840 in America
00:57:52.440 because it
00:57:52.880 is happening
00:57:53.340 and I have
00:57:54.080 to tell you
00:57:54.380 I have a dear
00:57:54.920 friend a
00:57:55.760 conservative
00:57:56.280 person it's
00:57:57.500 not all
00:57:58.080 because I know
00:57:58.460 there's a belief
00:57:58.980 now it's only
00:57:59.480 happening with
00:57:59.980 liberals this
00:58:01.300 person is a
00:58:02.100 conservative
00:58:02.560 and their
00:58:04.100 daughter has
00:58:05.520 gotten older
00:58:06.340 and got sucked
00:58:07.180 into the
00:58:07.580 college situation
00:58:08.540 and was a
00:58:09.220 little socially
00:58:09.700 awkward and
00:58:10.840 overweight and
00:58:12.320 wound up
00:58:13.120 going down
00:58:13.760 this road
00:58:14.400 and I
00:58:14.840 think this
00:58:15.880 couple the
00:58:16.500 parents are
00:58:17.200 desperate for
00:58:18.920 some sort of
00:58:19.780 solution to
00:58:20.840 it so it
00:58:21.200 doesn't it
00:58:21.900 does happen
00:58:22.540 to even
00:58:23.120 loving parents
00:58:23.820 who are
00:58:24.000 paying attention
00:58:24.540 who would
00:58:25.580 love to find
00:58:26.140 some inoculation
00:58:27.080 along the lines
00:58:27.840 of what you're
00:58:28.300 saying so keep
00:58:28.880 going well
00:58:30.240 of course I
00:58:31.620 mean this is
00:58:32.140 no family is
00:58:33.180 immune and
00:58:33.820 the families
00:58:34.440 that I've had
00:58:36.160 contact with
00:58:37.080 again hundreds
00:58:38.240 of families
00:58:38.960 these are
00:58:40.000 loving and
00:58:41.020 devoted parents
00:58:42.320 okay that
00:58:44.520 these these
00:58:45.300 are parents
00:58:45.960 that you
00:58:47.960 know that
00:58:48.240 have tried
00:58:48.680 to give
00:58:49.100 their child
00:58:49.800 every everything
00:58:51.840 that they
00:58:52.200 possibly could
00:58:53.120 every opportunity
00:58:55.000 every you
00:58:56.520 know love
00:58:58.260 and their
00:58:59.020 time and
00:58:59.860 their hard
00:59:01.200 earned money
00:59:02.600 and these
00:59:04.020 are parents
00:59:04.640 that have
00:59:05.340 been looking
00:59:05.820 out for
00:59:06.280 their kid
00:59:06.780 they just
00:59:07.700 weren't looking
00:59:08.320 out for this
00:59:09.200 and they
00:59:10.440 never expected
00:59:11.300 this to
00:59:11.840 happen
00:59:12.280 so you
00:59:14.520 know I'm
00:59:15.060 I'm a woman
00:59:15.800 on a mission
00:59:16.560 and my
00:59:18.160 mission is to
00:59:19.320 provide parents
00:59:20.660 with the
00:59:21.840 information that
00:59:22.780 they need
00:59:23.300 and the
00:59:24.300 tools that
00:59:25.240 they need
00:59:25.980 in order to
00:59:27.860 prevent this
00:59:28.860 catastrophe and
00:59:29.960 if it still
00:59:30.760 does come to
00:59:32.340 their family
00:59:33.100 to know how
00:59:34.880 to manage it
00:59:35.900 can we talk
00:59:36.900 about it
00:59:37.280 so I
00:59:37.620 let's just
00:59:38.460 to harken
00:59:38.820 back to
00:59:39.320 when I
00:59:39.680 had Abigail
00:59:40.480 Schreier on
00:59:41.020 the show
00:59:41.260 for the first
00:59:41.700 time right
00:59:42.480 after we
00:59:42.780 launched in
00:59:43.480 2020
00:59:44.000 we talked
00:59:46.160 about the
00:59:46.560 problem of
00:59:47.280 capture of
00:59:48.500 the American
00:59:49.220 Psychiatric
00:59:49.780 Association and
00:59:50.620 others the
00:59:51.440 American
00:59:51.740 Pediatric
00:59:52.380 Association to
00:59:53.220 or Academy
00:59:53.700 of Pediatrics
00:59:54.320 really just
00:59:55.200 pushing gender
00:59:56.020 affirming care
00:59:56.960 now it's
00:59:57.460 gender
00:59:57.740 confirming care
00:59:58.900 and how
01:00:00.280 Abigail was
01:00:01.320 saying be
01:00:02.080 aware if
01:00:02.720 you're a
01:00:03.000 parent that
01:00:03.540 this happens
01:00:04.060 to don't
01:00:05.240 just bring
01:00:05.600 your kid
01:00:05.920 into the
01:00:06.480 child
01:00:06.960 psychiatrist
01:00:07.480 and expect
01:00:08.960 oh they're
01:00:09.600 gonna work
01:00:10.040 it out
01:00:10.640 because those
01:00:11.840 are pushers
01:00:12.540 too and we
01:00:13.940 talked about
01:00:14.380 how difficult
01:00:14.980 it was to
01:00:15.520 find somebody
01:00:16.140 like you
01:00:17.120 who has
01:00:18.120 expertise in
01:00:19.200 child psychiatry
01:00:20.260 who would be
01:00:21.120 willing to
01:00:21.600 actually figure
01:00:22.380 out what the
01:00:23.060 root cause is
01:00:23.800 of this
01:00:24.180 child's
01:00:25.220 dysphoric
01:00:25.800 moment as
01:00:26.540 opposed to
01:00:27.020 just affirming
01:00:28.180 you really are
01:00:28.900 the opposite
01:00:29.360 sex so I'm
01:00:30.040 so happy
01:00:30.740 to hear that
01:00:32.120 this is your
01:00:32.580 whole business
01:00:33.100 and I know
01:00:33.400 you have a
01:00:33.720 waiting list
01:00:34.240 parents need
01:00:35.880 someone like
01:00:36.480 you to
01:00:36.840 not only
01:00:38.160 counsel their
01:00:38.940 children but
01:00:39.780 to write a
01:00:40.160 book like
01:00:40.440 this if they
01:00:40.840 can't get
01:00:41.140 in to see
01:00:41.520 you
01:00:41.740 well and I
01:00:43.260 go into
01:00:44.180 all of that
01:00:44.700 in the book
01:00:45.220 and I explain
01:00:45.880 to parents
01:00:46.460 how did
01:00:46.900 this happen
01:00:47.540 how did
01:00:48.460 our
01:00:48.800 mainstream
01:00:49.840 medical
01:00:50.620 establishment
01:00:51.380 get
01:00:52.360 captured
01:00:54.420 and taken
01:00:55.320 over
01:00:55.740 by these
01:00:56.920 dangerous
01:00:57.460 ideas
01:00:58.080 the idea
01:00:59.160 that a
01:00:59.580 child can
01:01:00.340 be born
01:01:00.720 in the
01:01:00.960 wrong body
01:01:01.600 and the
01:01:02.160 idea of
01:01:02.980 exposing a
01:01:03.980 child to
01:01:05.240 that notion
01:01:06.120 as if it's
01:01:07.300 normal and
01:01:08.400 as if it's
01:01:09.160 something to
01:01:09.720 celebrate
01:01:10.240 how did
01:01:11.120 this happen
01:01:11.840 how were
01:01:12.840 these
01:01:13.040 organizations
01:01:13.720 taken over
01:01:14.620 and it's
01:01:15.300 not just
01:01:15.780 the psychiatric
01:01:17.140 and psychological
01:01:18.060 organizations
01:01:18.840 it's also
01:01:19.540 the endocrine
01:01:21.300 society
01:01:21.940 okay these
01:01:22.800 are the
01:01:23.060 endocrinologists
01:01:23.760 are the people
01:01:24.420 that are going
01:01:24.820 to be prescribing
01:01:25.620 the blockers
01:01:26.400 and the
01:01:26.660 cross-sex
01:01:27.100 hormones so
01:01:27.700 it's really
01:01:28.780 been a
01:01:29.580 massive
01:01:30.420 a massive
01:01:32.500 you know
01:01:33.420 capture
01:01:34.240 a crusade
01:01:36.100 a crusade
01:01:37.380 through
01:01:37.980 the
01:01:39.120 the medical
01:01:39.940 establishment
01:01:40.760 a successful
01:01:42.040 crusade
01:01:42.780 I'm sorry
01:01:43.260 to say
01:01:43.800 but parents
01:01:44.840 need to know
01:01:45.520 how that
01:01:46.100 happened
01:01:46.580 and how
01:01:47.660 to find
01:01:48.360 practitioners
01:01:49.820 that have
01:01:50.480 not been
01:01:51.080 captured
01:01:51.580 and I
01:01:52.660 give that
01:01:53.600 guidance
01:01:54.180 as well
01:01:54.840 when you
01:01:56.340 say okay
01:01:57.100 so for
01:01:57.920 parents out
01:01:58.400 there who
01:01:58.740 want to
01:01:59.140 start
01:01:59.500 educating
01:02:00.480 their
01:02:00.760 children
01:02:01.080 before
01:02:01.700 they
01:02:02.760 start
01:02:03.040 getting
01:02:03.320 abused
01:02:03.920 with
01:02:04.240 these
01:02:04.440 notions
01:02:04.840 sure
01:02:05.520 you know
01:02:06.220 you can
01:02:06.420 I mean
01:02:06.620 we just
01:02:06.860 did a story
01:02:07.220 yesterday
01:02:07.520 on how
01:02:07.900 there was
01:02:08.260 a school
01:02:08.520 district
01:02:08.780 in Connecticut
01:02:09.280 showing the
01:02:09.740 kids a
01:02:10.000 video
01:02:10.260 they say
01:02:10.880 it's
01:02:11.000 appropriate
01:02:11.340 as of
01:02:11.820 age
01:02:12.060 two
01:02:12.580 they were
01:02:13.280 showing
01:02:13.500 it to
01:02:13.720 elementary
01:02:14.120 school
01:02:14.460 students
01:02:15.180 where
01:02:16.040 there's
01:02:16.400 a child
01:02:16.740 saying
01:02:17.140 I wasn't
01:02:17.800 sure if
01:02:18.060 I was
01:02:18.260 a girl
01:02:18.540 or a
01:02:18.840 boy
01:02:19.040 so I'm
01:02:19.780 just
01:02:19.960 both
01:02:20.340 I'm
01:02:20.780 both
01:02:21.080 so
01:02:22.000 it's
01:02:22.360 you
01:02:22.560 you
01:02:22.960 have
01:02:23.400 to
01:02:23.520 start
01:02:23.700 talking
01:02:24.000 about
01:02:24.280 this
01:02:24.740 from
01:02:25.520 the
01:02:25.680 cradle
01:02:26.060 basically
01:02:26.560 but
01:02:26.800 what
01:02:27.020 should
01:02:27.200 they
01:02:27.320 be
01:02:27.480 doing
01:02:27.740 well
01:02:29.760 I
01:02:29.940 want
01:02:30.120 to
01:02:30.500 you
01:02:30.920 see
01:02:31.120 why
01:02:31.460 do
01:02:31.560 they
01:02:31.700 start
01:02:31.980 so
01:02:32.260 early
01:02:32.620 Megan
01:02:33.020 any
01:02:33.680 you
01:02:34.500 know
01:02:34.620 any
01:02:34.880 ideology
01:02:35.700 that
01:02:37.800 that
01:02:38.200 wants
01:02:38.560 to
01:02:38.940 take
01:02:39.600 over
01:02:39.880 a
01:02:40.060 generation
01:02:40.600 and
01:02:41.460 take
01:02:41.680 over
01:02:41.920 society
01:02:42.660 is
01:02:43.420 going
01:02:43.700 to
01:02:43.900 start
01:02:44.240 as
01:02:44.520 early
01:02:44.860 as
01:02:45.100 possible
01:02:45.660 because
01:02:46.820 children
01:02:47.420 are
01:02:47.980 like
01:02:48.280 wet
01:02:48.660 cement
01:02:49.080 okay
01:02:50.240 that's
01:02:50.580 a
01:02:50.700 great
01:02:51.000 quote
01:02:51.440 from
01:02:51.720 a
01:02:52.020 famous
01:02:52.640 psychologist
01:02:53.360 by the
01:02:53.740 name
01:02:53.900 of
01:02:54.060 Chaim
01:02:54.480 Junot
01:02:55.560 and
01:02:56.300 he
01:02:56.460 said
01:02:56.780 that
01:02:57.120 that
01:02:58.120 children
01:02:58.880 are
01:02:59.220 like
01:02:59.500 wet
01:02:59.920 cement
01:03:00.240 and
01:03:01.160 whatever
01:03:01.580 falls
01:03:02.320 on
01:03:02.720 them
01:03:02.960 is
01:03:03.560 going
01:03:03.780 to
01:03:04.000 make
01:03:04.240 an
01:03:04.360 impression
01:03:04.880 and

01:03:09.020 first
01:03:09.280 impression
01:03:09.880 okay

01:03:18.660 you
01:03:19.520 know
01:03:19.680 all
01:03:20.180 these
01:03:20.400 places
01:03:20.860 are
01:03:21.440 sources
01:03:22.220 of
01:03:22.640 indoctrination
01:03:23.500 to
01:03:24.180 our
01:03:24.400 kids
01:03:24.880 and
01:03:25.760 so
01:03:26.020 yes
01:03:26.380 they're
01:03:26.680 starting
01:03:27.060 very
01:03:27.620 very
01:03:27.900 early
01:03:28.260 and
01:03:29.000 when
01:03:29.220 your
01:03:29.440 child's
01:03:30.460 preschool
01:03:30.960 teacher
01:03:31.600 reads
01:03:32.600 the book
01:03:33.140 I am
01:03:33.620 jazz
01:03:34.200 to your
01:03:34.940 three or
01:03:35.580 four year
01:03:36.060 old
01:03:36.320 and your
01:03:37.440 child hears
01:03:38.380 about the
01:03:38.860 idea
01:03:39.440 of
01:03:40.460 being born
01:03:42.840 in the
01:03:43.120 wrong
01:03:43.360 body
01:03:43.820 that makes
01:03:44.920 an impression
01:03:45.580 and that
01:03:46.140 plants
01:03:46.740 a seed
01:03:47.740 and
01:03:49.160 so
01:03:49.360 what
01:03:49.560 I
01:03:49.880 want
01:03:50.400 and
01:03:51.000 yes
01:03:51.320 you
01:03:51.540 do
01:03:51.720 have
01:03:51.940 to
01:03:52.040 begin
01:03:52.320 very
01:03:52.780 early
01:03:53.240 and
01:03:54.040 you
01:03:54.120 have
01:03:54.280 to
01:03:54.420 begin
01:03:54.840 with
01:03:56.040 the
01:03:56.220 correct
01:03:56.680 biology
01:03:57.300 that
01:03:57.920 male
01:03:58.560 and
01:03:58.840 female
01:03:59.380 boy
01:03:59.760 and
01:03:59.960 girl
01:04:00.200 is
01:04:00.800 established
01:04:01.600 at
01:04:02.040 conception
01:04:02.940 it
01:04:04.240 is
01:04:04.440 not
01:04:05.020 some
01:04:05.460 random
01:04:06.240 assignment
01:04:07.160 that's
01:04:08.540 made
01:04:08.880 in the
01:04:09.400 delivery
01:04:09.820 room
01:04:10.260 by a
01:04:11.280 doctor
01:04:11.640 or a
01:04:12.140 nurse
01:04:12.540 that
01:04:13.200 could
01:04:13.440 be
01:04:13.660 wrong
01:04:14.020 that's
01:04:15.440 incorrect
01:04:16.100 in
01:04:16.700 every
01:04:17.480 case
01:04:17.980 except
01:04:18.540 extremely
01:04:19.660 rare
01:04:20.280 0.02%
01:04:21.740 of births
01:04:23.500 in which
01:04:24.140 the baby
01:04:25.800 may have
01:04:26.400 some
01:04:26.760 chromosomal
01:04:27.720 or other
01:04:28.620 abnormality
01:04:29.400 very very
01:04:30.660 rare
01:04:31.100 conditions
01:04:31.740 and even
01:04:32.520 in those
01:04:33.060 conditions
01:04:33.660 that baby
01:04:35.320 is
01:04:36.420 their
01:04:37.800 reproductive
01:04:38.360 system
01:04:39.080 is
01:04:40.020 formed
01:04:41.320 either
01:04:42.380 around
01:04:43.020 producing
01:04:43.860 sperm
01:04:44.380 or
01:04:44.660 producing
01:04:45.140 X
01:04:45.600 which
01:04:46.220 is
01:04:46.440 the
01:04:46.720 definition
01:04:47.200 of
01:04:47.560 male
01:04:47.820 and
01:04:48.000 female
01:04:48.180 so
01:04:48.540 yeah
01:04:49.740 we have
01:04:50.120 to start
01:04:50.500 very early
01:04:51.220 we have
01:04:52.060 to
01:04:52.240 let me ask
01:04:53.200 you a question
01:04:53.540 on this
01:04:53.900 in the
01:04:55.180 Matt Walsh
01:04:55.880 clip
01:04:56.260 you're
01:04:56.800 saying
01:04:57.340 you know
01:04:57.600 biological
01:04:57.960 sex
01:04:58.360 is real
01:04:59.220 and it's
01:04:59.980 along the
01:05:00.920 lines of
01:05:01.140 what you
01:05:01.320 just said
01:05:01.600 determined
01:05:01.960 at
01:05:02.120 conception
01:05:02.500 but gender
01:05:03.560 is
01:05:04.200 something
01:05:04.640 a little
01:05:04.920 different
01:05:05.320 so what
01:05:06.400 if
01:05:06.600 what if
01:05:07.160 the child
01:05:07.500 says
01:05:07.740 okay
01:05:08.060 I accept
01:05:08.660 that I
01:05:08.900 am
01:05:09.020 biologically
01:05:09.680 male
01:05:10.560 but my
01:05:11.400 gender
01:05:11.700 is female
01:05:12.200 and I
01:05:12.700 am going
01:05:13.040 to
01:05:13.260 and I
01:05:13.540 identify
01:05:13.940 as
01:05:14.240 female
01:05:14.560 and I'm
01:05:14.920 going to
01:05:15.040 live my
01:05:15.340 life
01:05:15.640 as
01:05:16.160 female
01:05:16.460 those
01:05:16.700 are
01:05:16.800 the
01:05:16.900 feelings
01:05:17.200 I'm
01:05:17.400 having
01:05:17.700 you
01:05:18.480 will
01:05:18.660 accept
01:05:18.900 me
01:05:19.160 or
01:05:19.480 I
01:05:19.880 will
01:05:20.000 kill
01:05:20.140 myself
01:05:20.480 well
01:05:23.520 hopefully
01:05:23.960 before you
01:05:24.560 get to
01:05:24.880 that
01:05:25.100 point
01:05:25.520 you know
01:05:26.460 you're
01:05:26.960 you're
01:05:27.360 you're
01:05:27.800 prepared
01:05:28.280 you understand
01:05:28.940 what this
01:05:29.280 is about
01:05:29.700 but
01:05:30.100 you know
01:05:31.060 if
01:05:31.260 let's
01:05:31.840 say
01:05:32.000 that you
01:05:32.280 haven't
01:05:32.700 and let's
01:05:33.160 say
01:05:33.380 that that's
01:05:33.960 the
01:05:34.220 first
01:05:34.940 indication
01:05:35.500 you have
01:05:36.060 your
01:05:36.260 kid
01:05:36.520 comes
01:05:36.820 over
01:05:37.060 to you
01:05:37.300 and says
01:05:37.800 what
01:05:38.220 you
01:05:38.580 just
01:05:38.800 said
01:05:39.040 well I
01:05:41.640 would
01:05:41.800 say the
01:05:43.540 to not
01:05:43.920 freak
01:05:44.260 out
01:05:44.600 which
01:05:46.140 is
01:05:46.340 difficult
01:05:46.780 but the
01:05:48.540 most
01:05:48.780 important
01:05:49.200 thing
01:05:49.620 is to
01:05:50.380 wait
01:05:51.300 and
01:05:51.580 freak
01:05:51.900 out
01:05:52.200 later
01:05:52.940 to try
01:05:55.560 and
01:05:55.780 stay
01:05:56.340 calm
01:05:56.700 and
01:05:58.420 just like
01:05:59.280 with any
01:05:59.700 other issue
01:06:00.360 that your
01:06:00.760 child may
01:06:01.340 come to
01:06:01.760 you with
01:06:02.260 you want
01:06:03.920 to be
01:06:04.380 curious
01:06:04.960 and to
01:06:05.540 understand
01:06:06.180 what it's
01:06:06.560 all about
01:06:07.080 you want
01:06:08.900 to
01:06:09.480 affirm
01:06:12.280 the
01:06:13.360 child's
01:06:13.980 feelings
01:06:14.600 without
01:06:15.880 affirming
01:06:16.800 any
01:06:17.640 particular
01:06:18.200 belief
01:06:18.860 or idea
01:06:19.600 that they're
01:06:19.980 coming to
01:06:20.500 you with
01:06:20.940 so if
01:06:23.100 the child
01:06:23.620 says
01:06:24.160 my biology
01:06:26.400 is female
01:06:27.440 but my
01:06:28.500 gender
01:06:29.000 is male
01:06:30.140 what I
01:06:31.760 want parents
01:06:32.440 to say
01:06:32.980 is
01:06:33.320 oh
01:06:35.480 wow
01:06:36.160 wow

01:06:39.800 more about
01:06:40.380 this
01:06:40.720 I want
01:06:42.200 to
01:06:42.300 understand
01:06:42.740 this
01:06:43.200 I don't
01:06:43.620 completely
01:06:44.100 understand
01:06:44.780 it
01:06:44.980 and I
01:06:45.260 want to
01:06:45.700 understand
01:06:46.120 it
01:06:46.400 because
01:06:46.760 I see
01:06:47.940 that this
01:06:48.300 is very
01:06:48.860 important
01:06:49.280 to you
01:06:49.760 and whatever
01:06:51.240 is important
01:06:51.820 to you
01:06:52.200 is important
01:06:52.700 to me
01:06:53.200 and furthermore
01:06:54.460 if you're
01:06:55.720 thinking
01:06:56.080 of affirming
01:06:56.740 yourself
01:06:57.220 wow

01:07:00.700 need to
01:07:01.040 talk about
01:07:01.480 that
01:07:01.840 are you
01:07:02.880 actually
01:07:03.280 having

01:07:10.960 a mental

01:07:15.760 that's a
01:07:16.240 huge huge
01:07:17.140 issue
01:07:17.480 because most
01:07:18.940 mental health
01:07:19.520 practitioners
01:07:20.100 are either
01:07:21.340 not going

01:07:22.540 this hot
01:07:23.040 potato

01:07:35.940 not going
01:07:36.260 to delve
01:07:37.260 into it

01:07:38.200 questions
01:07:38.780 see about
01:07:39.640 other
01:07:40.540 comorbid
01:07:41.400 conditions
01:07:42.020 which are
01:07:42.600 most of
01:07:43.320 these kids
01:07:43.760 do have
01:07:44.460 either
01:07:45.280 anxiety
01:07:46.540 or depression
01:07:47.260 or some
01:07:49.400 sort of
01:07:49.840 neurodiverse

01:08:14.360 you know
01:08:15.900 you are
01:08:16.680 increasing
01:08:17.280 the chance
01:08:18.040 of this
01:08:18.760 having a
01:08:19.240 very dangerous
01:08:20.400 outcome
01:08:21.000 and that
01:08:22.380 is
01:08:22.540 meanwhile
01:08:22.940 you point
01:08:24.920 this out
01:08:25.180 in your
01:08:25.320 book as
01:08:25.640 well
01:08:25.880 that the
01:08:27.000 vast majority
01:08:27.620 of these
01:08:28.140 children
01:08:28.500 will grow
01:08:29.720 out of
01:08:30.260 these feelings
01:08:30.900 if only
01:08:31.920 we allow
01:08:32.880 them to
01:08:33.420 instead we
01:08:34.080 intervene with
01:08:34.780 these medical
01:08:35.660 drugs and
01:08:37.720 procedures and
01:08:38.540 so on
01:08:39.020 but one of
01:08:39.740 my questions
01:08:40.140 for you in
01:08:40.540 reading that
01:08:40.980 was I
01:08:42.220 can certainly
01:08:42.660 see how that
01:08:43.120 would be true
01:08:43.540 of somebody
01:08:43.900 who has the
01:08:44.420 sudden onset
01:08:45.120 gender dysphoria
01:08:45.920 caused by
01:08:46.780 too much time
01:08:47.460 on YouTube
01:08:47.880 caused by
01:08:48.760 too many
01:08:49.120 girls in
01:08:49.600 the sophomore
01:08:50.600 year of high
01:08:51.300 school saying
01:08:52.320 they're trans
01:08:52.960 so it's like
01:08:53.380 oh that's the
01:08:54.000 cool thing
01:08:54.320 but is it
01:08:55.260 also true for
01:08:55.980 the very very
01:08:56.780 rare kids you
01:08:57.600 talked about
01:08:58.040 before the
01:08:59.160 five-year-olds
01:08:59.880 who are
01:09:00.540 insisting
01:09:01.260 the boys
01:09:02.480 saying I'm
01:09:03.180 a girl
01:09:03.480 mommy I'm
01:09:03.900 a girl I
01:09:04.280 want long
01:09:04.640 hair and I
01:09:05.040 want Barbies
01:09:05.560 is it also
01:09:06.340 true that
01:09:06.700 those kids
01:09:07.240 will grow
01:09:08.240 out of it
01:09:08.600 if left
01:09:08.860 alone
01:09:09.120 so for
01:09:10.160 those very
01:09:11.200 rare children
01:09:11.900 and again
01:09:12.420 those are
01:09:12.840 the one
01:09:13.440 in many
01:09:14.020 tens of
01:09:14.620 thousands
01:09:14.940 of people
01:09:15.500 and the
01:09:15.960 kids like
01:09:16.440 jazz
01:09:16.960 jazz
01:09:17.360 jennings
01:09:17.880 okay from
01:09:19.260 a very early
01:09:20.100 age to
01:09:20.600 major two
01:09:21.420 jazz was
01:09:22.840 insisting
01:09:23.580 about being
01:09:25.180 being a
01:09:25.680 girl
01:09:25.920 so the
01:09:27.580 studies that
01:09:28.520 I quoted
01:09:28.980 to you
01:09:29.400 earlier
01:09:29.820 that go
01:09:31.420 up to
01:09:32.000 a 90%
01:09:33.260 desistance
01:09:34.000 rate
01:09:34.500 desistance
01:09:35.080 being the
01:09:36.040 word that
01:09:36.420 we use
01:09:36.880 to describe
01:09:37.560 kids who
01:09:38.900 with time
01:09:40.280 eventually
01:09:41.080 their gender
01:09:43.580 dysphoria
01:09:44.180 their discomfort
01:09:45.100 with their
01:09:45.620 bodies
01:09:46.060 resolves
01:09:46.860 and they
01:09:47.940 come to
01:09:48.600 accept their
01:09:49.260 bodies
01:09:49.660 and many
01:09:51.200 of these
01:09:51.520 kids are
01:09:52.080 gay or
01:09:52.480 lesbian
01:09:52.800 so yeah
01:09:53.800 those were
01:09:54.720 the numbers
01:09:55.260 those are
01:09:56.140 the studies
01:09:56.620 on those
01:09:57.340 kids
01:09:57.700 those very
01:09:58.280 rare kids
01:09:58.960 we have
01:09:59.940 a lot
01:10:00.220 that's really
01:10:00.720 telling
01:10:01.040 that's really
01:10:02.040 telling
01:10:02.240 because it's
01:10:02.500 like of
01:10:02.820 course if
01:10:03.240 it's sudden
01:10:03.700 onset and
01:10:04.440 it's a
01:10:04.740 social contagion
01:10:05.620 of course
01:10:07.020 they just
01:10:07.500 need to be
01:10:07.900 therapized
01:10:08.400 they need
01:10:08.720 to talk
01:10:09.140 to your
01:10:09.340 kid about
01:10:09.660 what's
01:10:09.860 really
01:10:10.040 going on
01:10:10.600 this is
01:10:11.260 the same
01:10:11.620 as we
01:10:11.880 used to
01:10:12.100 have with
01:10:12.400 anorexia
01:10:12.960 or cutting
01:10:13.440 or you
01:10:13.840 know like
01:10:14.340 the mental
01:10:15.420 health issues
01:10:16.000 need to be
01:10:16.360 addressed and
01:10:16.820 then the
01:10:17.140 symptoms get
01:10:18.260 addressed
01:10:18.600 after that
01:10:19.560 but that
01:10:20.420 if you can
01:10:21.020 if it's
01:10:21.460 true of
01:10:21.820 even the
01:10:22.260 littles
01:10:22.600 you know
01:10:22.960 the two-year-olds
01:10:23.800 the five-year-olds
01:10:24.460 who are confused
01:10:24.960 about the gender
01:10:25.560 then it's got
01:10:26.400 to be
01:10:26.680 the hands-off
01:10:27.940 protocol
01:10:29.120 it needs to
01:10:30.780 be the
01:10:31.320 protocol
01:10:31.880 and instead
01:10:33.060 it's not
01:10:33.820 it's puberty
01:10:34.680 blockers
01:10:35.320 which almost
01:10:36.020 always lead
01:10:36.560 right into
01:10:36.900 cross-sex
01:10:37.420 hormones
01:10:37.880 which cause
01:10:39.020 massive
01:10:39.780 damage
01:10:40.600 can you talk
01:10:41.400 about that
01:10:41.840 that progression
01:10:43.120 the puberty
01:10:43.560 blockers
01:10:43.860 which we're
01:10:44.300 told is no
01:10:44.700 problem
01:10:45.080 that's a
01:10:45.400 nothing
01:10:45.800 it's a
01:10:46.120 pause
01:10:46.480 and then
01:10:47.220 where that
01:10:47.560 leads
01:10:47.840 well of
01:10:48.960 course
01:10:49.220 I mean
01:10:49.540 kids are
01:10:49.960 put on
01:10:50.400 an assembly
01:10:50.920 line
01:10:51.240 and the
01:10:52.380 assembly
01:10:52.700 line is
01:10:53.140 very difficult
01:10:53.720 to get
01:10:54.440 off of
01:10:54.900 and the
01:10:56.000 assembly
01:10:56.320 line
01:10:56.660 actually
01:10:57.060 Megan
01:10:57.460 begins
01:10:58.140 way before
01:10:59.220 the blockers
01:10:59.940 it begins
01:11:00.560 with this
01:11:01.200 social
01:11:01.500 transition
01:11:02.060 okay so
01:11:04.140 once you
01:11:04.900 agree to
01:11:05.860 use different
01:11:07.180 pronouns
01:11:07.760 and a
01:11:08.180 different name
01:11:08.900 those things
01:11:10.000 are not just
01:11:10.780 a kindness
01:11:11.480 or a sign
01:11:12.560 of respect
01:11:13.140 which is
01:11:13.560 what we're
01:11:13.880 being you
01:11:15.060 know the
01:11:15.320 kids are being
01:11:15.920 told that
01:11:16.620 anyone that
01:11:17.200 doesn't respect
01:11:17.880 your pronouns
01:11:18.500 and your
01:11:18.840 names are
01:11:20.200 are bad
01:11:21.160 and hateful
01:11:21.840 people and
01:11:23.480 that really
01:11:24.020 is the
01:11:24.440 biggest challenge
01:11:25.300 here the
01:11:26.300 challenge is
01:11:27.120 not in
01:11:27.740 treating the
01:11:28.400 anxiety and
01:11:29.340 the depression
01:11:29.880 and autism
01:11:30.760 the challenge
01:11:32.260 is in
01:11:32.880 dealing with
01:11:34.100 the indoctrination
01:11:35.420 in these
01:11:36.460 kids that's
01:11:38.340 that's the
01:11:38.800 hard part
01:11:39.400 so I
01:11:44.320 wanted to
01:11:45.620 explain whether
01:11:46.260 one other
01:11:46.840 thing
01:11:47.120 very very
01:11:47.700 important
01:11:48.120 you see
01:11:49.180 gender
01:11:49.660 dysphoria
01:11:50.300 this sense
01:11:51.080 of discomfort
01:11:51.760 with your
01:11:52.280 sex body
01:11:53.020 it's a
01:11:54.120 symptom
01:11:54.620 okay
01:11:55.600 symptoms
01:11:56.140 can have
01:11:56.740 many
01:11:57.000 different
01:11:57.600 etiologies
01:11:59.260 or you
01:12:00.040 know
01:12:00.260 origins
01:12:02.580 so just
01:12:03.940 like let's
01:12:04.680 say fever
01:12:05.360 fever is a
01:12:07.100 symptom
01:12:07.460 fever can be
01:12:09.100 due to so
01:12:09.580 many things
01:12:10.320 okay you
01:12:10.860 can have an
01:12:11.240 infection
01:12:11.720 you could
01:12:12.860 be dehydrated
01:12:16.940 you could
01:12:18.100 have an
01:12:20.620 autoimmune
01:12:21.180 disease
01:12:21.860 you could
01:12:22.580 have cancer
01:12:23.340 so fever
01:12:25.680 is a symptom
01:12:26.420 and we
01:12:26.880 don't love
01:12:27.980 all these
01:12:28.700 different
01:12:29.060 conditions
01:12:29.640 that may
01:12:30.600 cause the
01:12:31.500 symptom of
01:12:32.040 fever we
01:12:32.600 don't lump
01:12:33.160 them all
01:12:33.620 together and
01:12:34.880 say this is
01:12:35.560 the one
01:12:35.980 treatment for
01:12:36.740 fever of
01:12:38.160 course we
01:12:38.540 don't do
01:12:38.900 that but
01:12:39.720 that is
01:12:40.060 exactly what
01:12:41.660 the proponents
01:12:42.920 of gender
01:12:43.600 affirming care
01:12:44.460 are saying
01:12:45.100 it doesn't
01:12:46.340 matter if
01:12:46.920 your kid is
01:12:47.460 two years
01:12:48.080 old or
01:12:49.400 20 years
01:12:50.980 old and
01:12:52.020 they come
01:12:52.540 to you and
01:12:53.560 say that
01:12:53.960 they're having
01:12:54.420 this symptom
01:12:54.980 of gender
01:12:55.420 dysphoria
01:12:55.920 the way that
01:12:57.380 you deal
01:12:57.840 with that is
01:12:58.520 to immediately
01:12:59.400 affirm it
01:13:00.320 and there's
01:13:02.440 only one
01:13:03.100 approach and
01:13:03.960 one understanding
01:13:04.860 there's no
01:13:05.940 other way
01:13:06.480 this is the
01:13:07.680 danger of
01:13:09.120 gender
01:13:09.480 affirming
01:13:09.980 care
01:13:10.340 it's bad
01:13:12.600 enough if
01:13:13.000 you just do
01:13:13.440 it with
01:13:13.740 words and
01:13:15.020 pronouns and
01:13:16.240 social transition
01:13:17.260 as you point
01:13:17.760 out but then
01:13:18.820 we go to the
01:13:19.560 medicalization of
01:13:20.460 it and there
01:13:21.920 are so many
01:13:23.400 severe risks
01:13:25.020 and poor
01:13:26.000 outcomes from
01:13:27.060 doing this
01:13:27.840 that you just
01:13:29.160 don't hear
01:13:29.740 talked about
01:13:30.560 in in the
01:13:32.120 mainstream media
01:13:33.220 which is really
01:13:33.920 the filter for
01:13:34.660 information for
01:13:35.460 folks and
01:13:36.940 let's just
01:13:37.260 start there
01:13:37.760 so puberty
01:13:38.400 blockers
01:13:38.880 they say
01:13:39.580 calm down
01:13:40.460 just a
01:13:40.860 pause
01:13:41.220 just a
01:13:41.680 pause
01:13:42.020 doesn't do
01:13:42.880 any harm
01:13:43.400 lets the
01:13:44.380 kid get
01:13:44.900 some time
01:13:45.320 to sort of
01:13:45.700 figure out
01:13:46.260 what he or
01:13:46.760 she wants
01:13:47.480 and that of
01:13:48.160 course ignores
01:13:48.620 the discussion
01:13:49.060 we just had
01:13:49.620 about you've
01:13:50.660 already sent
01:13:51.520 them on the
01:13:51.900 road if you're
01:13:52.340 doing social
01:13:52.760 transition
01:13:53.180 very hard for
01:13:53.800 these kids
01:13:54.160 to then turn
01:13:54.620 around and
01:13:54.920 say like
01:13:55.240 never mind
01:13:55.900 I changed
01:13:56.180 my mind
01:13:56.520 I really am
01:13:57.040 the sex
01:13:57.840 you know
01:13:58.280 that I thought
01:13:58.880 I was
01:13:59.140 originally
01:13:59.540 so it's
01:14:00.800 it is
01:14:01.200 dangerous to
01:14:01.920 go along
01:14:02.520 with okay
01:14:02.980 yeah you've
01:14:04.040 changed sexes
01:14:04.780 but now we
01:14:05.640 get to the
01:14:05.900 point of
01:14:06.200 the just
01:14:06.740 the mere
01:14:07.080 pause
01:14:07.480 can you
01:14:07.900 talk about
01:14:08.220 the puberty
01:14:08.540 blockers
01:14:08.980 yeah sure
01:14:10.580 well I
01:14:13.680 you know I
01:14:14.220 explain in my
01:14:15.040 book why
01:14:15.580 puberty is
01:14:16.180 such an
01:14:16.500 important
01:14:17.200 developmental
01:14:18.600 stage of
01:14:19.680 life
01:14:20.020 there's no
01:14:21.340 other time
01:14:22.220 in our
01:14:22.880 lives
01:14:23.420 aside from
01:14:24.960 development
01:14:25.680 in the
01:14:26.060 womb
01:14:26.380 when we
01:14:27.420 have such
01:14:28.000 a massive
01:14:28.960 such a
01:14:30.660 massive
01:14:31.200 you know
01:14:32.040 restructuring
01:14:33.300 and development
01:14:34.680 of the body
01:14:35.560 and especially
01:14:36.220 of the brain
01:14:37.000 now
01:14:38.340 the body
01:14:40.340 expects
01:14:41.440 you know
01:14:43.060 any biological
01:14:44.040 system
01:14:44.760 is a
01:14:45.740 extremely
01:14:46.480 sensitive
01:14:47.900 and
01:14:49.080 complex
01:14:50.100 to put it
01:14:50.820 lightly
01:14:51.200 system
01:14:52.640 that
01:14:53.620 we
01:14:54.480 we don't
01:14:54.960 want to
01:14:55.300 interfere with
01:14:56.060 that system
01:14:56.720 unless we
01:14:57.320 have a
01:14:57.660 really good
01:14:58.360 reason
01:14:58.920 puberty
01:15:00.300 is not
01:15:01.040 a disorder
01:15:01.740 puberty
01:15:02.660 is not
01:15:03.100 a disease
01:15:03.860 it's a
01:15:04.720 normal
01:15:05.340 process
01:15:06.180 that the
01:15:07.420 body
01:15:07.780 needs to
01:15:08.580 go through
01:15:09.140 in order
01:15:09.980 to become
01:15:10.640 an adult
01:15:11.400 the brain
01:15:13.260 especially
01:15:13.960 needs to
01:15:14.740 be exposed
01:15:15.440 to the
01:15:16.120 process
01:15:16.520 of puberty
01:15:17.100 and to
01:15:18.460 the surge
01:15:19.660 of hormones
01:15:20.840 of estrogen
01:15:21.560 and testosterone
01:15:23.160 in order
01:15:24.440 to develop
01:15:25.200 into
01:15:25.940 a mature
01:15:26.920 adult
01:15:27.560 brain
01:15:28.200 and we've
01:15:29.780 known this
01:15:30.220 for a long
01:15:30.780 time
01:15:31.260 now
01:15:32.440 doctors
01:15:33.660 are coming
01:15:34.620 in
01:15:34.920 and this
01:15:36.660 is all
01:15:37.000 based by
01:15:37.600 the way
01:15:37.880 the use
01:15:38.440 of these
01:15:38.880 blockers
01:15:39.440 and I
01:15:39.700 explain it
01:15:40.420 in great
01:15:41.220 detail
01:15:41.700 in my book
01:15:42.580 the use
01:15:43.860 of blockers
01:15:44.820 is based
01:15:45.960 on one
01:15:46.860 small
01:15:47.960 study
01:15:48.540 that came
01:15:49.840 out of
01:15:50.640 Holland
01:15:51.200 a small
01:15:54.240 study
01:15:54.720 of about
01:15:55.620 55 kids
01:15:56.940 and it's
01:15:59.360 a very
01:15:59.700 problematic
01:16:00.320 study
01:16:00.960 and that
01:16:05.080 study
01:16:05.700 was
01:16:07.340 is the
01:16:08.720 basis
01:16:09.140 for what
01:16:09.840 we're doing
01:16:10.320 now
01:16:10.720 to hundreds
01:16:12.920 of thousands
01:16:13.920 well I don't
01:16:15.040 know if it's
01:16:15.520 hundreds of
01:16:16.020 thousands
01:16:16.340 probably across
01:16:17.420 the world
01:16:17.840 it is
01:16:18.180 hundreds of
01:16:18.620 thousands
01:16:18.880 of kids
01:16:19.420 but
01:16:20.340 we don't
01:16:22.340 have
01:16:22.880 we are being
01:16:23.800 led to
01:16:24.240 believe
01:16:24.700 that the
01:16:25.640 science in
01:16:26.320 this area
01:16:26.940 is a
01:16:27.420 settled
01:16:27.760 science
01:16:28.400 and that
01:16:29.280 is simply
01:16:29.840 not true
01:16:30.560 that's one
01:16:31.080 of the
01:16:31.360 many
01:16:31.660 falsehoods
01:16:32.740 that's
01:16:33.000 one of
01:16:33.860 the pieces
01:16:34.280 of the
01:16:34.600 misinformation
01:16:35.320 that parents
01:16:36.720 are being
01:16:37.220 given
01:16:37.640 you know
01:16:38.580 by pediatricians
01:16:39.760 and endocrinologists
01:16:40.700 and by our
01:16:41.300 government
01:16:41.740 I mean
01:16:42.460 you know
01:16:43.060 the health
01:16:43.660 and human
01:16:44.020 services
01:16:44.680 our president
01:16:46.720 has come out
01:16:47.580 and said
01:16:47.980 that
01:16:48.660 you know
01:16:49.720 gender
01:16:50.480 affirming
01:16:50.880 care
01:16:51.240 that's the
01:16:51.680 only way
01:16:52.140 to go
01:16:52.460 there's a
01:16:52.840 medical
01:16:53.100 consensus
01:16:53.680 no
01:16:54.160 there is
01:16:55.120 no
01:16:55.340 medical
01:16:55.700 consensus
01:16:56.240 and you
01:16:56.720 know
01:16:56.840 I get
01:16:57.740 angry
01:16:58.160 over this
01:16:58.740 Megan
01:16:59.040 you'll have
01:16:59.600 to
01:16:59.820 forgive me
01:17:00.620 I get
01:17:01.360 angry
01:17:01.780 but you
01:17:02.160 know
01:17:02.300 what
01:17:02.580 I wake
01:17:04.440 up every
01:17:04.860 morning
01:17:05.180 and check
01:17:05.700 my email
01:17:06.320 and I
01:17:06.700 have another
01:17:07.420 bunch
01:17:07.900 of emails
01:17:09.420 from desperate
01:17:10.500 parents all
01:17:11.400 over the
01:17:11.720 country
01:17:12.100 some of them
01:17:12.860 from other
01:17:13.340 countries
01:17:13.940 and they're
01:17:15.280 telling me
01:17:16.060 they're begging
01:17:17.040 me for help
01:17:18.100 they're begging
01:17:19.100 me and they're
01:17:19.580 saying what do
01:17:20.320 I do
01:17:20.860 do I need
01:17:21.780 to give my
01:17:22.300 kids these
01:17:22.800 blockers
01:17:23.480 do I need
01:17:24.500 to affirm
01:17:25.280 them in this
01:17:25.980 opposite sex
01:17:27.480 I mean when I
01:17:28.420 finish this
01:17:29.020 interview with
01:17:29.680 right now
01:17:30.380 and I'm
01:17:31.040 going to
01:17:31.200 pick up
01:17:31.600 my phone
01:17:32.240 and check
01:17:33.080 my email
01:17:34.420 on my
01:17:34.900 phone
01:17:35.220 I'm going
01:17:35.860 to have
01:17:36.140 another 10
01:17:36.800 to 15
01:17:37.560 emails from
01:17:38.800 parents from
01:17:39.600 desperate
01:17:40.080 parents and
01:17:41.300 from siblings
01:17:42.100 and grandparents
01:17:42.960 so yeah I get
01:17:44.360 pretty emotional
01:17:45.120 about this I get
01:17:45.980 pretty angry
01:17:46.740 because there's
01:17:47.920 it's there's
01:17:49.320 there's just
01:17:50.420 a massive
01:17:53.500 misinformation
01:17:54.920 that's being
01:17:56.240 put out there
01:17:57.260 by the
01:17:58.580 establishment
01:17:59.340 the medical
01:17:59.940 establishment
01:18:00.600 and the
01:18:01.760 our government
01:18:03.320 and our
01:18:04.640 educational
01:18:05.220 system
01:18:05.820 and people
01:18:07.720 are suffering
01:18:08.700 there's massive
01:18:10.400 suffering that's
01:18:11.680 going on as a
01:18:12.560 result of this
01:18:13.240 misinformation
01:18:13.840 so yeah
01:18:15.220 just to get back
01:18:16.040 to the top of my
01:18:16.640 head
01:18:16.980 well let me just
01:18:18.000 ask you because I
01:18:18.740 don't know if you
01:18:19.040 remember this off the
01:18:19.660 top of your head but
01:18:20.240 there was a stat in
01:18:21.420 the book about how
01:18:22.620 it used to just be a
01:18:23.380 sprinkling of people
01:18:24.340 who would show up at
01:18:24.920 these gender
01:18:25.440 clinics you know
01:18:26.860 that they didn't get
01:18:27.660 many takers as
01:18:29.200 recently as like
01:18:29.880 2017 and now
01:18:31.460 there's something
01:18:32.000 like 140,000
01:18:35.240 people it might have
01:18:37.620 been girls but
01:18:38.500 people on the
01:18:39.580 waiting list to get
01:18:40.460 treated at these
01:18:41.820 gender clinics
01:18:42.640 well okay so
01:18:45.860 there's a few
01:18:46.280 different things
01:18:46.820 first of all the
01:18:47.820 largest gender
01:18:48.620 clinic in the world
01:18:49.540 is in London
01:18:50.640 it's going to be
01:18:52.020 shut down
01:18:52.600 shortly because of
01:18:54.780 the
01:18:55.100 malpractice that
01:18:57.160 was going on
01:18:57.860 there
01:18:58.100 we also know
01:19:00.360 by the way
01:19:00.940 you're probably
01:19:01.760 aware that there
01:19:02.620 was back in
01:19:03.880 February a few
01:19:04.600 months ago a
01:19:05.360 very courageous
01:19:06.140 woman whistleblower
01:19:07.660 in St.
01:19:09.060 Louis who
01:19:10.300 exposed the
01:19:12.320 terrible things
01:19:14.120 that were going
01:19:14.580 on in that
01:19:15.080 gender clinic
01:19:15.660 and I have two
01:19:16.280 chapters about
01:19:16.980 that as well
01:19:17.580 so yeah
01:19:19.980 the numbers
01:19:21.160 have exploded
01:19:22.060 just in the
01:19:23.240 past 10
01:19:25.040 years the
01:19:26.080 numbers are
01:19:26.640 up something
01:19:27.240 like 4,000
01:19:28.640 5,000 percent
01:19:30.080 increase in the
01:19:31.800 numbers of kids
01:19:32.680 that are showing
01:19:33.400 up at these
01:19:33.980 clinics if you
01:19:35.320 go on to
01:19:36.400 go fund me
01:19:37.800 and you look
01:19:38.660 at their page
01:19:39.600 of that's what
01:19:40.440 it was the
01:19:41.700 girls who are
01:19:42.480 trying to raise
01:19:43.400 money for their
01:19:44.040 bilateral mastectomase
01:19:45.320 there's something
01:19:45.820 like 47,000
01:19:47.220 girls who are
01:19:48.360 trying to raise
01:19:49.080 money to have
01:19:50.180 their healthy
01:19:50.940 breasts removed
01:19:52.640 because they've
01:19:53.420 been led to
01:19:53.920 believe that
01:19:54.620 they're going
01:19:54.900 to feel better
01:19:55.900 after that
01:19:56.960 surgery
01:19:57.400 misinformation
01:19:58.540 false
01:19:59.660 you do not
01:20:01.520 you do not
01:20:02.400 treat
01:20:02.820 I'm sorry
01:20:04.900 what
01:20:05.220 47,000 girls
01:20:07.120 trying to get
01:20:07.620 a go fund me
01:20:08.300 raise to have
01:20:09.480 their healthy
01:20:10.280 breasts chopped
01:20:10.940 off
01:20:11.220 that's right
01:20:12.520 and and
01:20:16.360 this is the
01:20:17.140 fault of
01:20:18.280 our medical
01:20:19.580 establishment
01:20:20.280 of our
01:20:21.280 sex educators
01:20:22.340 of our
01:20:23.920 educational
01:20:25.180 system
01:20:25.860 and those
01:20:27.380 parts of the
01:20:28.140 government
01:20:28.460 that have been
01:20:29.140 taken over
01:20:30.040 by this
01:20:30.460 ideology
01:20:31.060 and the
01:20:32.280 facts on the
01:20:32.960 ground
01:20:33.260 and I am
01:20:33.820 seeing these
01:20:34.280 kids and
01:20:34.720 families
01:20:35.180 every
01:20:36.040 not every
01:20:37.640 day
01:20:37.920 but six
01:20:38.740 days out
01:20:39.300 of seven
01:20:39.760 I'm seeing
01:20:40.700 these families
01:20:41.420 and the
01:20:42.660 amount of
01:20:43.460 distress
01:20:44.420 and suffering
01:20:45.380 and tears
01:20:46.240 and hopelessness
01:20:48.920 is really
01:20:50.780 you know
01:20:53.400 I don't have
01:20:54.100 words to
01:20:54.620 describe it
01:20:55.320 because in
01:20:56.580 some of
01:20:56.900 these families
01:20:57.540 where the
01:20:58.340 kids have
01:20:58.740 been indoctrinated
01:20:59.560 to think
01:21:00.120 that if their
01:21:01.220 parents don't
01:21:02.040 accept them
01:21:02.820 as their
01:21:03.680 new
01:21:03.900 persona
01:21:06.400 synthetic
01:21:07.140 persona
01:21:07.760 that their
01:21:09.220 parents are
01:21:09.800 evil people
01:21:10.560 they then
01:21:11.700 leave the
01:21:12.400 home
01:21:12.660 and they
01:21:14.540 become
01:21:15.000 estranged
01:21:15.580 from their
01:21:15.980 families
01:21:16.440 and I
01:21:17.640 have a
01:21:18.060 chapter in
01:21:18.860 the book
01:21:19.260 about the
01:21:20.800 parents
01:21:21.240 Megan
01:21:22.220 and about
01:21:22.940 their
01:21:24.040 how they
01:21:25.460 are mourning
01:21:26.200 the living
01:21:26.920 they're mourning
01:21:28.260 the loss
01:21:28.920 of their
01:21:29.240 child
01:21:29.580 and not
01:21:30.740 only that
01:21:31.320 but they
01:21:32.240 the grief
01:21:33.220 that they
01:21:33.580 have
01:21:34.080 is a
01:21:35.340 disenfranchised
01:21:36.400 grief
01:21:36.820 because they
01:21:38.360 are told
01:21:38.880 by society
01:21:39.780 by
01:21:40.280 by
01:21:41.280 you know
01:21:41.940 their
01:21:42.140 therapist
01:21:42.560 and their
01:21:43.060 pediatrician
01:21:43.800 and almost
01:21:45.040 everybody
01:21:45.820 they're told
01:21:46.880 that they're
01:21:47.420 the reason
01:21:47.880 that their
01:21:48.280 child has
01:21:49.340 this problem
01:21:49.960 they're the
01:21:51.600 bad guy
01:21:52.200 they need to
01:21:53.420 wake up
01:21:53.920 and understand
01:21:54.520 that their
01:21:55.340 child was born
01:21:56.140 in the wrong
01:21:56.580 body
01:21:56.980 and they need
01:21:57.800 to accept
01:21:58.300 that
01:21:58.640 and they need
01:22:00.240 to bury
01:22:00.780 their daughter
01:22:01.420 and embrace
01:22:02.400 their new
01:22:02.860 son
01:22:03.220 so
01:22:04.520 and the
01:22:05.160 procedures
01:22:06.000 again just
01:22:07.640 for the
01:22:07.900 listening audience
01:22:08.460 the book is
01:22:08.920 called Lost
01:22:09.440 in Transnation
01:22:10.260 I hope
01:22:10.760 everyone
01:22:11.180 buys it
01:22:11.640 Lost in Transnation
01:22:12.600 Dr. Miriam
01:22:13.240 Grossman
01:22:13.620 but the
01:22:14.440 procedures
01:22:14.920 you outline
01:22:15.740 in the book
01:22:16.260 you're talking
01:22:17.340 about if you
01:22:17.940 go from
01:22:18.340 puberty blockers
01:22:19.100 to cross-sex
01:22:19.640 hormones
01:22:20.000 as a boy
01:22:21.960 you're a boy
01:22:23.260 who's confused
01:22:23.980 and thinks
01:22:24.360 you're a girl
01:22:24.920 you're likely
01:22:27.160 looking at a
01:22:27.800 penis that will
01:22:28.320 never work again
01:22:29.060 like you
01:22:29.660 if you decide
01:22:30.460 you made a
01:22:30.800 mistake
01:22:31.100 and you
01:22:31.840 just want
01:22:32.260 to be a
01:22:32.800 boy again
01:22:33.460 and not
01:22:33.940 live as a girl
01:22:34.780 good luck
01:22:36.260 the outcome
01:22:37.760 is devastating
01:22:38.260 that is
01:22:40.140 correct
01:22:40.560 so the
01:22:41.520 guidelines
01:22:42.200 so to speak
01:22:43.120 guidelines
01:22:43.820 that are
01:22:44.600 that have
01:22:45.760 been
01:22:46.100 given to
01:22:47.900 us by
01:22:48.520 these major
01:22:49.480 medical
01:22:49.860 associations
01:22:50.460 like the
01:22:51.460 Endocrine Society
01:22:52.340 and the
01:22:52.600 American Academy
01:22:53.140 of Pediatrics
01:22:54.480 call for
01:22:55.860 the intervention
01:22:57.980 the early
01:22:58.980 intervention
01:22:59.640 at the start
01:23:01.220 of puberty
01:23:01.960 now puberty
01:23:03.520 can start
01:23:04.140 in some
01:23:04.640 kids as
01:23:05.220 early as
01:23:05.700 eight or
01:23:06.020 nine years
01:23:06.480 old
01:23:06.720 but even
01:23:07.760 if puberty
01:23:08.420 is starting
01:23:09.000 at 11
01:23:09.900 or 12
01:23:10.700 if in a
01:23:11.900 boy
01:23:12.260 if you
01:23:13.360 you know
01:23:16.280 if you
01:23:17.380 give that
01:23:19.020 kid
01:23:19.600 puberty
01:23:20.140 blockers
01:23:20.880 so that
01:23:21.720 his body
01:23:22.500 is never
01:23:23.120 exposed to
01:23:24.040 the surge
01:23:24.520 of testosterone
01:23:25.300 that it's
01:23:25.800 waiting for
01:23:26.660 then he
01:23:27.880 will never
01:23:28.460 develop
01:23:29.100 mature
01:23:30.100 sperm
01:23:30.700 he will
01:23:31.880 never
01:23:32.260 he will
01:23:32.800 he will
01:23:33.100 be infertile
01:23:33.840 he will
01:23:34.760 never be
01:23:35.300 able to
01:23:35.760 have
01:23:36.020 biological
01:23:36.500 children
01:23:37.060 and in
01:23:38.680 addition to
01:23:39.240 that
01:23:39.480 what we're
01:23:41.340 learning now
01:23:42.040 what we've
01:23:42.840 learned from
01:23:43.500 Dr. Marcy
01:23:44.360 Bowers
01:23:44.920 who is
01:23:46.300 probably the
01:23:47.300 most prominent
01:23:48.040 gender
01:23:50.340 surgeon
01:23:50.840 in the
01:23:51.960 country
01:23:52.300 if not
01:23:52.680 the world
01:23:53.320 Dr.
01:23:55.060 Bowers
01:23:55.620 recently
01:23:56.540 admitted
01:23:57.520 that in
01:23:58.420 those
01:23:58.740 boys
01:23:59.680 will never
01:24:00.440 be able
01:24:00.880 to orgasm
01:24:01.580 because
01:24:02.640 as I
01:24:05.020 was saying
01:24:05.560 puberty
01:24:07.220 is necessary
01:24:08.300 to
01:24:08.960 become a
01:24:11.340 functioning
01:24:11.800 adult
01:24:12.240 and that
01:24:13.180 includes
01:24:13.840 to have
01:24:15.080 a normal
01:24:15.760 sexual
01:24:16.600 response
01:24:17.340 for your
01:24:18.120 body to
01:24:19.480 be aroused
01:24:20.300 normally
01:24:20.860 and to
01:24:21.700 respond
01:24:22.220 normally
01:24:23.020 to sexuality
01:24:23.840 so what
01:24:25.200 we are
01:24:25.500 doing over
01:24:26.280 here
01:24:26.640 is
01:24:27.320 these
01:24:27.920 kids
01:24:28.300 whose
01:24:29.840 parents
01:24:30.640 are
01:24:30.940 agreeing
01:24:31.560 and
01:24:32.280 they're
01:24:32.440 agreeing
01:24:32.880 because
01:24:33.280 they're
01:24:33.480 afraid
01:24:33.780 that the
01:24:34.120 kid
01:24:34.320 will
01:24:34.620 commit
01:24:35.380 suicide
01:24:35.940 I'm not
01:24:36.720 blaming
01:24:37.100 these
01:24:37.420 parents
01:24:37.780 they're
01:24:38.040 being
01:24:38.340 misinformed
01:24:40.440 by everyone
01:24:41.580 by all
01:24:42.120 their trusted
01:24:42.560 officials
01:24:43.040 they're
01:24:44.500 being
01:24:44.740 emotionally
01:24:45.320 manipulated
01:24:46.240 to do
01:24:47.140 this to
01:24:47.540 their
01:24:47.720 kids
01:24:48.180 and then
01:24:48.700 lo and
01:24:49.160 behold
01:24:49.540 they might
01:24:50.560 realize
01:24:51.060 a few
01:24:51.440 years
01:24:51.660 later
01:24:51.960 because
01:24:52.280 it's
01:24:52.480 not
01:24:52.760 I
01:24:53.580 don't
01:24:53.900 know
01:24:54.020 how
01:24:54.220 much
01:24:54.460 this
01:24:54.680 is
01:24:54.840 part
01:24:55.040 of
01:24:55.140 the
01:24:55.260 informed
01:24:55.640 consent
01:24:56.200 that
01:24:56.780 parents
01:24:57.140 are
01:24:57.300 being
01:24:57.520 told
01:24:57.960 that
01:24:58.520 your
01:24:58.720 kid
01:24:59.000 is
01:24:59.140 never
01:24:59.360 going
01:24:59.580 to
01:25:00.620 experience
01:25:01.420 normal
01:25:01.980 sexual
01:25:02.580 function
01:25:03.660 if your
01:25:04.460 boy
01:25:04.760 decides
01:25:05.160 he really
01:25:05.460 was a
01:25:05.820 boy
01:25:06.060 he's
01:25:06.340 never
01:25:06.500 going
01:25:06.620 to be
01:25:06.740 able to
01:25:06.920 get
01:25:07.040 an
01:25:07.160 erection
01:25:07.480 he's
01:25:07.760 never
01:25:07.900 going
01:25:08.020 to be
01:25:08.160 able
01:25:08.240 to have
01:25:08.400 an
01:25:08.500 orgasm
01:25:08.920 he's
01:25:09.100 never
01:25:09.200 going
01:25:09.320 to be
01:25:09.440 able
01:25:09.540 to have
01:25:09.720 a
01:25:09.820 child
01:25:10.060 of
01:25:10.200 his
01:25:10.320 own

01:25:13.480 somebody

01:25:14.200 just
01:25:14.360 be
01:25:14.500 having
01:25:14.700 a
01:25:15.000 momentary
01:25:15.740 confusion
01:25:16.380 because
01:25:17.120 he's
01:25:17.400 depressed
01:25:17.920 or
01:25:18.500 because
01:25:18.740 his

01:26:34.540 you
01:26:34.920 know

01:26:35.920 identifying
01:26:36.480 details
01:26:37.100 uh
01:26:37.920 of course
01:26:38.700 have

01:26:46.480 someone
01:26:46.800 who
01:26:47.300 unfortunately
01:26:48.080 uh
01:26:48.820 was
01:26:50.940 convinced
01:26:51.560 uh
01:26:52.180 by
01:26:52.640 uh
01:26:54.180 medical
01:26:55.560 providers
01:26:56.240 and
01:26:56.880 therapists
01:26:57.680 uh
01:26:58.880 and his
01:26:59.560 lgbt
01:27:00.320 group
01:27:01.860 of
01:27:02.080 friends
01:27:02.560 um
01:27:03.780 that
01:27:04.420 that he
01:27:05.280 that the
01:27:05.860 answer
01:27:06.220 to his
01:27:06.920 psychiatric
01:27:08.080 issues
01:27:08.800 which
01:27:09.240 are
01:27:09.980 very
01:27:10.240 many
01:27:10.600 um
01:27:11.720 would
01:27:12.220 be
01:27:12.460 to
01:27:13.000 transition
01:27:15.340 quote
01:27:15.960 unquote
01:27:16.360 to
01:27:17.300 living
01:27:17.660 as
01:27:18.100 a
01:27:18.440 woman
01:27:18.880 and
01:27:19.240 so
01:27:19.600 he
01:27:20.280 went
01:27:20.560 through
01:27:20.960 uh
01:27:21.720 went
01:27:22.180 on
01:27:22.400 to
01:27:22.560 estrogen
01:27:23.080 um
01:27:24.400 and
01:27:24.920 also
01:27:25.320 had
01:27:25.880 a
01:27:26.980 vaginoplasty
01:27:27.980 which
01:27:28.580 is
01:27:29.080 a
01:27:29.800 surgical
01:27:30.200 procedure
01:27:31.180 in which
01:27:32.300 the penis
01:27:33.120 is
01:27:33.800 uh
01:27:34.720 inverted
01:27:36.680 and
01:27:37.440 the skin
01:27:38.160 well
01:27:39.040 it starts
01:27:39.820 with being
01:27:40.220 castrated
01:27:40.780 so
01:27:41.140 the testicles
01:27:42.340 are removed
01:27:43.280 and then
01:27:43.840 the skin
01:27:44.820 um
01:27:45.520 the scrotal
01:27:46.520 skin
01:27:46.980 and the
01:27:47.420 skin
01:27:47.600 of the
01:27:47.900 penis
01:27:48.280 are used
01:27:49.520 to create
01:27:50.460 um
01:27:51.300 uh
01:27:52.200 sort of
01:27:52.700 a
01:27:52.960 a vault
01:27:54.240 you know
01:27:54.940 an opening
01:27:55.600 and a
01:27:56.520 canal
01:27:57.020 um
01:27:58.080 they you know
01:27:59.580 they call it
01:28:00.240 a vagina
01:28:00.940 but you know
01:28:01.820 it's obviously
01:28:02.520 not a vagina
01:28:03.220 so
01:28:04.720 uh
01:28:05.560 jake went
01:28:06.520 through that
01:28:07.120 and realized
01:28:08.240 soon afterwards
01:28:09.080 that
01:28:09.600 uh
01:28:10.680 it
01:28:11.040 it
01:28:11.120 it was
01:28:11.560 not at
01:28:11.960 all
01:28:12.240 helping
01:28:14.200 his psychiatric
01:28:15.000 issues
01:28:15.380 in fact
01:28:15.820 they were
01:28:16.100 getting
01:28:16.320 worse
01:28:16.800 and he
01:28:18.140 realized
01:28:18.600 that he
01:28:18.980 had just
01:28:19.400 been
01:28:19.800 sucked
01:28:21.080 into this
01:28:21.640 ideology
01:28:22.220 that he
01:28:22.640 was a
01:28:22.900 victim
01:28:23.160 of it
01:28:23.600 and
01:28:24.580 uh
01:28:25.120 sadly
01:28:25.600 uh
01:28:26.240 he now
01:28:26.980 has
01:28:27.680 neither
01:28:28.400 a penis
01:28:28.920 or a vagina
01:28:29.640 because you
01:28:31.900 have to work
01:28:32.340 tirelessly
01:28:32.920 to keep
01:28:33.560 the opening
01:28:34.220 open
01:28:34.860 and if you
01:28:35.960 don't do
01:28:36.340 that
01:28:36.680 it closes
01:28:37.400 up
01:28:37.840 that's
01:28:38.560 that's
01:28:38.980 correct
01:28:39.220 you see
01:28:39.580 what happens
01:28:40.180 yeah
01:28:40.880 when a
01:28:41.920 a
01:28:42.500 a faux
01:28:43.240 a faux
01:28:43.740 vagina
01:28:44.220 is created
01:28:45.100 by surgeons
01:28:45.880 um
01:28:47.060 the body
01:28:47.800 sees it
01:28:48.620 as a wound
01:28:49.680 and when
01:28:51.280 the body
01:28:51.740 senses that
01:28:52.520 there's a wound
01:28:53.260 its reaction
01:28:54.580 is to close
01:28:55.540 up as
01:28:56.020 as you know
01:28:56.680 you get a
01:28:57.300 cut you know
01:28:58.040 on your hand
01:28:58.760 or a burn
01:28:59.300 or something
01:28:59.780 the reaction
01:29:00.880 is to
01:29:01.620 to to
01:29:02.500 close up
01:29:03.000 that wound
01:29:03.560 um
01:29:04.560 and so
01:29:05.260 the the
01:29:06.540 the faux
01:29:07.780 vagina
01:29:08.360 in order
01:29:08.960 to prevent
01:29:09.620 it from
01:29:10.040 closing
01:29:10.480 um
01:29:11.560 the
01:29:11.960 individual
01:29:12.600 has to
01:29:13.440 dilate
01:29:14.920 uh
01:29:15.500 and they
01:29:15.720 have to
01:29:16.060 you know
01:29:16.580 so they
01:29:16.880 use a
01:29:17.520 device
01:29:18.000 and they
01:29:18.460 insert it
01:29:19.140 into their
01:29:19.780 faux
01:29:20.500 vagina
01:29:20.920 and um
01:29:22.480 this has
01:29:23.480 to be done
01:29:24.060 regularly
01:29:25.060 initially
01:29:25.620 a few
01:29:26.240 times a
01:29:26.740 day
01:29:26.940 it's
01:29:27.260 very
01:29:27.860 very
01:29:28.560 painful
01:29:29.100 to do
01:29:29.680 so
01:29:31.060 what happened
01:29:31.780 with jake
01:29:32.360 is that
01:29:32.800 he was
01:29:33.400 he was
01:29:34.620 dilating
01:29:35.280 um
01:29:36.020 but then
01:29:37.000 when
01:29:37.300 you know
01:29:38.420 he realized
01:29:39.220 that this
01:29:40.100 is this
01:29:40.580 isn't who
01:29:41.080 he was
01:29:41.620 he's not
01:29:42.020 a woman
01:29:42.400 he'll never
01:29:42.880 be a woman
01:29:43.460 um
01:29:44.380 he stopped
01:29:45.160 dilating
01:29:45.660 it was also
01:29:46.160 very painful
01:29:47.240 to dilate
01:29:47.960 and so
01:29:49.160 his
01:29:49.540 faux
01:29:50.960 vagina
01:29:51.440 closed up
01:29:52.340 and so
01:29:53.500 now he
01:29:54.180 he has
01:29:54.960 neither
01:29:55.260 and so
01:29:55.960 you know
01:29:57.040 and he's
01:29:58.760 not he's
01:29:59.420 not at all
01:30:00.260 the only
01:30:00.700 person
01:30:01.200 who this
01:30:02.080 has happened
01:30:02.540 to
01:30:03.400 uh
01:30:03.760 you know
01:30:04.260 there's a
01:30:04.600 whole community
01:30:05.360 unfortunately
01:30:06.460 sadly
01:30:07.560 there's a
01:30:08.080 community
01:30:08.520 of
01:30:09.040 of
01:30:09.800 people
01:30:10.080 like
01:30:10.400 jake
01:30:10.800 uh
01:30:11.660 de-transitioners
01:30:13.280 uh
01:30:14.000 not all of
01:30:14.760 them have
01:30:15.100 been through
01:30:15.500 such
01:30:15.920 uh
01:30:16.880 extreme
01:30:17.360 surgeries
01:30:17.940 but many
01:30:18.480 of them
01:30:18.760 have
01:30:19.060 and
01:30:20.180 if you
01:30:20.620 go on
01:30:21.120 to
01:30:21.280 reddit
01:30:21.760 for example
01:30:22.520 um
01:30:23.720 reddit
01:30:24.940 dot com
01:30:26.080 there's a
01:30:26.580 there's a
01:30:27.140 de-trans
01:30:27.960 uh
01:30:28.980 thread
01:30:29.800 or a
01:30:30.780 subreddit
01:30:31.460 and there's
01:30:32.860 uh
01:30:33.380 i mean
01:30:33.920 i haven't
01:30:34.500 checked
01:30:34.760 recently
01:30:35.220 but i
01:30:35.580 think
01:30:35.740 there's
01:30:35.900 something
01:30:36.060 like
01:30:36.300 50,000
01:30:36.960 people
01:30:37.360 on there
01:30:37.860 who are
01:30:38.720 ready
01:30:39.160 we're
01:30:39.440 told
01:30:39.640 it's
01:30:39.800 just a
01:30:40.080 handful
01:30:40.400 just a
01:30:40.800 handful
01:30:41.020 of
01:30:41.160 people
01:30:41.320 who
01:30:41.500 regret
01:30:41.840 it's
01:30:42.100 not
01:30:42.280 true
01:30:42.620 the
01:30:43.460 it's
01:30:44.020 interesting
01:30:44.340 how you
01:30:44.720 say
01:30:44.900 the body
01:30:45.360 the body
01:30:46.560 identifies
01:30:47.080 it as
01:30:47.620 a wound
01:30:48.080 the body's
01:30:49.100 right
01:30:49.360 it is
01:30:50.580 a wound
01:30:50.980 the body's
01:30:51.980 right to
01:30:52.260 try to
01:30:52.540 heal it
01:30:52.840 the body
01:30:53.220 knows
01:30:53.660 if only
01:30:54.460 our minds
01:30:55.100 could do
01:30:55.960 the same
01:30:56.400 and be
01:30:56.980 as
01:30:57.180 proactive
01:30:57.640 in
01:30:57.900 healing
01:30:58.240 these
01:30:59.560 other wounds
01:31:00.100 that are
01:31:00.360 leading to
01:31:00.780 this confusion
01:31:01.420 you know
01:31:02.000 instead we
01:31:02.720 intervene
01:31:03.180 just like we
01:31:03.800 do on the
01:31:04.120 body
01:31:04.380 and block
01:31:05.580 it
01:31:05.820 um
01:31:06.780 i can i ask
01:31:07.700 you just to
01:31:08.100 shift gears
01:31:08.580 because the
01:31:09.180 part of what's
01:31:10.320 so compelling
01:31:10.840 about the book
01:31:11.580 is those
01:31:11.900 medical stories
01:31:12.580 i mean i had
01:31:13.020 no idea
01:31:13.480 and people
01:31:14.200 are paying
01:31:14.880 now to
01:31:15.300 make themselves
01:31:16.060 into eunuchs
01:31:16.780 voluntarily
01:31:17.400 um
01:31:18.440 i read
01:31:18.980 recently
01:31:19.200 people are
01:31:19.700 people are
01:31:20.360 paying to
01:31:20.660 have their
01:31:20.940 nipples
01:31:21.280 removed
01:31:21.780 their belly
01:31:22.320 buttons
01:31:22.680 removed
01:31:23.180 they're just
01:31:24.000 trying to
01:31:24.320 turn themselves
01:31:24.840 into something
01:31:25.440 that is
01:31:25.760 non-human
01:31:26.580 and doctors
01:31:27.680 are doing
01:31:28.360 it
01:31:28.680 oh yeah
01:31:30.680 oh doctors
01:31:31.640 are are
01:31:32.540 are happy
01:31:33.640 to do it
01:31:34.100 apparently
01:31:34.500 but i think
01:31:35.500 that you know
01:31:36.520 the take-home
01:31:37.120 lesson here
01:31:37.680 isn't so much
01:31:38.340 you know
01:31:38.700 that the
01:31:39.000 kids are
01:31:39.780 the kids
01:31:40.580 are suffering
01:31:41.120 the kids
01:31:41.480 are mixed
01:31:42.000 up
01:31:42.520 the kids
01:31:43.520 don't know
01:31:44.100 who they
01:31:44.480 are because
01:31:45.520 they're being
01:31:46.120 told
01:31:46.660 they're being
01:31:47.080 inundated
01:31:47.740 with this
01:31:48.200 idea
01:31:48.640 of of
01:31:49.760 celebrating
01:31:50.580 confusion
01:31:51.580 and celebrating
01:31:53.180 um
01:31:54.340 you know
01:31:55.160 denying
01:31:55.720 reality
01:31:56.380 we
01:31:56.780 and that's
01:31:57.660 why parents
01:31:58.380 have to
01:31:58.780 represent
01:31:59.220 reality
01:31:59.940 okay let me
01:32:01.320 ask about that
01:32:01.900 let me ask you
01:32:02.660 about the
01:32:03.080 the pronoun
01:32:03.680 issue in this
01:32:04.380 context
01:32:04.780 um
01:32:05.920 because i know
01:32:06.480 you've spoken
01:32:06.860 out about it
01:32:07.360 and i talked
01:32:08.060 about it
01:32:08.360 recently
01:32:08.680 and and i
01:32:09.480 was struck
01:32:09.880 because when
01:32:10.880 twitter showed
01:32:11.860 what is a
01:32:12.700 woman
01:32:12.960 in which you
01:32:14.200 were wonderful
01:32:14.740 and so
01:32:15.180 influential
01:32:15.660 it originally
01:32:17.200 said no
01:32:17.600 we're not
01:32:17.880 going to
01:32:18.060 show it
01:32:18.300 because in
01:32:18.880 two instances
01:32:19.440 someone is
01:32:20.120 quote misgendered
01:32:21.160 which is a
01:32:21.640 misnomer in
01:32:22.280 and of itself
01:32:22.760 what misgendered
01:32:24.000 means is we've
01:32:24.840 gone with their
01:32:25.240 actual gender
01:32:25.960 um and he
01:32:28.640 said i wrote
01:32:30.020 it down he
01:32:30.660 said i should
01:32:31.260 know elon said
01:32:32.000 we are going
01:32:32.360 to show it
01:32:32.740 the twitter
01:32:33.800 minions were
01:32:34.340 wrong but he
01:32:35.140 said i should
01:32:35.540 note that i do
01:32:36.060 personally use
01:32:36.700 someone's preferred
01:32:37.380 pronouns just as
01:32:38.260 i use someone's
01:32:38.860 preferred name
01:32:39.500 simply from the
01:32:40.460 standpoint of
01:32:41.040 good manners
01:32:41.740 is he right
01:32:43.260 can you speak
01:32:44.240 about the good
01:32:44.660 manners thing
01:32:45.660 yeah yeah i
01:32:48.000 thought about
01:32:48.640 this for so
01:32:49.500 long uh what
01:32:50.940 to do in my
01:32:51.580 book with the
01:32:52.180 pronouns i
01:32:53.260 really did i
01:32:55.080 thought about it
01:32:55.900 i talked to
01:32:56.500 people and my
01:32:58.960 thinking was
01:32:59.540 this you know
01:33:00.780 if if we were
01:33:01.840 if it was 10
01:33:02.760 15 years ago
01:33:03.920 before the uh
01:33:05.260 the current
01:33:06.060 disaster that
01:33:07.480 we're in uh
01:33:08.880 uh the epidemic
01:33:10.520 of kids who
01:33:11.480 are have been
01:33:12.620 sucked into this
01:33:13.600 i of course
01:33:14.680 i would use
01:33:15.540 someone's
01:33:16.900 preferred name
01:33:17.820 and preferred
01:33:18.340 pronouns you
01:33:19.680 know i'm i'm
01:33:20.960 a compassionate
01:33:21.640 person i
01:33:23.020 wouldn't have
01:33:23.420 gone into
01:33:24.100 psychiatry and
01:33:25.360 child psychiatry
01:33:26.360 if i wasn't
01:33:28.640 drawn into
01:33:30.020 having a role
01:33:31.700 in people's
01:33:32.440 lives and you
01:33:33.620 know helping
01:33:34.000 them to feel
01:33:34.640 better and
01:33:35.780 being there for
01:33:36.560 them as a
01:33:37.480 understanding and
01:33:38.880 compassionate
01:33:39.460 person but we're
01:33:41.260 living in different
01:33:42.260 times right now
01:33:43.600 we're living
01:33:44.760 during this
01:33:46.080 time of
01:33:46.940 insanity of
01:33:48.760 celebrating the
01:33:50.020 denial of
01:33:51.020 reality and the
01:33:51.860 denial of
01:33:52.440 biology and
01:33:53.660 kids are paying
01:33:54.540 a terrible price
01:33:55.460 for that so
01:33:56.080 i decided that
01:33:57.820 i would not
01:33:58.840 use pronouns
01:33:59.880 at all for
01:34:01.520 transgender
01:34:02.260 identifying
01:34:03.060 individuals that
01:34:04.060 i discussed
01:34:04.760 um which is a
01:34:06.380 cumbersome thing
01:34:07.240 but i decided
01:34:08.180 to do it
01:34:08.760 because you
01:34:09.700 see if i
01:34:10.520 call uh
01:34:12.500 someone like
01:34:13.400 admiral dr
01:34:15.140 levine if i
01:34:16.620 call if i
01:34:18.440 use pronouns
01:34:19.260 her and
01:34:20.000 she then
01:34:21.460 i'm giving a
01:34:22.800 message to
01:34:23.660 all the
01:34:24.780 young boys
01:34:25.500 out there
01:34:26.080 8 10
01:34:27.060 12 years
01:34:28.120 old 15
01:34:28.800 years old
01:34:29.380 20 years
01:34:30.240 old that
01:34:31.340 they too
01:34:32.400 can be
01:34:34.600 considered
01:34:35.660 by society
01:34:37.020 to be
01:34:38.360 to be
01:34:39.020 female
01:34:39.460 and
01:34:40.680 that's not
01:34:42.180 a favor
01:34:42.720 i'm not
01:34:43.220 doing them
01:34:43.640 a favor
01:34:44.140 by that
01:34:44.680 and so
01:34:46.020 you know
01:34:46.960 i decided
01:34:47.800 against it
01:34:48.940 and i
01:34:49.380 and i do
01:34:49.820 not use
01:34:50.560 preferred
01:34:51.000 pronouns
01:34:51.520 in my book
01:34:52.220 it's not
01:34:53.440 it's not
01:34:54.300 good manners
01:34:54.960 it actually
01:34:55.700 is harmful
01:34:56.560 this is what
01:34:57.360 i came to
01:34:58.500 see as well
01:34:59.080 you you
01:35:00.300 actually are
01:35:01.020 part of the
01:35:01.580 problem it's
01:35:02.140 not a kind
01:35:02.660 and generous
01:35:03.100 thing to do
01:35:03.800 it's adding
01:35:04.620 as we've been
01:35:05.860 discussing to
01:35:06.580 children's distress
01:35:07.580 so the final
01:35:10.040 takeaway and
01:35:10.940 the book again
01:35:11.440 is lost in
01:35:12.100 translation a
01:35:12.860 child psychiatrist

01:35:26.240 thing that i
01:35:26.800 want to say
