Conservatives are celebrating as a transvestite YouTube star says that the leftist gender ideologues have gone too far. Jeffrey Starr goes by the stage name Jeffrey Starr and a number of conservatives are lauding him for saying enough is enough with the nonbinary pronouns.
00:02:13.88050 years ago, conservatives said, okay, feminism is fine, but homosexuality is crazy.
00:02:21.480Then 30 years ago, conservatives said, okay, homosexuality is fine, but gay marriage is crazy.
00:02:27.680Then 10 years ago, conservatives said, okay, gay marriage is fine, but transgenderism is crazy.
00:02:33.160And now, in the year of our Lord, 2023, conservatives are saying, you know it, okay, transgenderism is fine, but this non-binary stuff is crazy.
00:02:44.760They're saying, transgenderism is fine, but wait until they turn 18 to chop them up.
00:02:51.720Transgenderism is fine, but wait until they turn nine to teach them about it in school.
00:02:56.200That's in one of the most conservative states on this issue.
00:03:06.740Because we fail to understand what the left understands, which is that if you accept the left's basic premises, those premises are eventually going to be taken to their logical conclusions.
00:03:19.440If you accept the premise in this case that men and women are basically the same, you can start that out in the 70s, you can start that out with feminism, you are going to end up here.
00:03:28.240You can try to slow it down a little bit, you can try in vain to push pause on the unfolding of history based on certain premises, but you're never going to stop it.
00:03:39.660You're certainly never going to stop it at transgenderism is fine, but non-binary is crazy.
00:03:46.700In fact, the guy who articulated that view, too much conservative fanfare, is already walking it back.
00:03:53.380Anyone that is trying to make it seem like I said that non-binary people don't exist, I never said that.
00:16:39.620No, because they tested the water and they found low levels of chemicals from the toxic spill in some places at intakes along the waterway.
00:16:48.120And they're seeing reports of fish dying en masse in the local waterways.
00:16:52.080And they're seeing East Palestine residents who are getting headaches, who are developing rashes, because the town has been poisoned.
00:17:00.840So they're saying, well, look, we've got some low levels of these chemicals being found, so we're going to shut down the water intake.
00:17:06.680Well, it can't be that low if you're going to shut down the water intake at two of these utilities in two different states.
00:17:13.120That seems like a pretty big problem that everybody is trying to downplay.
00:17:17.460I am seeing news of this story reported in very, very few places.
00:17:21.940And the politicians are all trying to downplay it.
00:17:25.820Joe Biden isn't going to East Palestine.
00:17:29.180There may eventually be enough political pressure that he has to go.
00:17:32.020You're not seeing Pete Buttigieg show up to East Palestine.
00:17:34.760You're not seeing the Ohio senator say that he will drink the water from East Palestine.
00:17:40.840Yeah, I want to ask you, would you drink the water in East Palestine?
00:17:45.040And do you think the officials there who are saying it's safe, they should drink the water, too, to show the residents that they would drink it?
00:18:16.720But I do think, though, as I said, when, you know, you hear all this stuff about stock buybacks and they're underinvesting, as you say, in rail safety, the tracks themselves and the cars.
00:18:27.600Do you think these Democrat politicians who are saying the water is safe, do you think that, you know, you guys should all drink the water?
00:22:50.220And most people seem to agree with that concept when we talk about the past.
00:22:55.840They say, you know, going to a slave market and just viewing people as brute animals and then purchasing them and then having them as part of our household.
00:24:44.200And instead of a regular market that we're used to where you can buy tumblers and you can buy paper and you can buy all sorts of actual commodities, now we are commoditizing humans.
00:24:56.440And the left bears a lot of responsibility for that because the left degrades humanity and denies human nature as being made in the image and likeness of God.
00:25:05.820And the right bears some responsibility for putting the cart before the horse and exalting the free market as a political end unto itself instead of what it is, which is a means to an end.
00:25:15.900The end being a flourishing society that recognizes the humanity of all people and allows us to flourish in political society as humans and not just as stuff or brutes or animals.
00:25:42.660Even the conservatives, they'll say, look, I have no problem with two guys redefining the fundamental political institution.
00:25:50.440And listen, I don't even really have a problem with those guys adopting a little newborn baby or creating a baby in a test tube or purchasing the eggs from a woman and then renting the womb from a woman in, say, Ukraine and then flying over and taking the baby from there.
00:26:02.560Just, I just think we shouldn't, you shouldn't be able to, I don't know, pick their eye color or something.
00:26:10.100I don't even, that's probably not even a limit anymore.
00:26:24.280They want to villainize our heroes and omit key details from the historical record, such as the fact that on Christmas 1776, George Washington crossed the Delaware River in a sneak attack against British forces after shaving with a Jeremy's razor.
00:26:43.720You probably didn't learn that in school.
00:26:44.820Few people know that, and it's a sad reflection of our great nation going woke.
00:26:49.060But like Washington before us, you can fight back against woke tyranny simply by picking up a magnificent Jeremy's razor during our 30% off President's Day sale.
00:26:57.180It is time that we celebrate history, not cancel it.
00:27:16.260The cost of eggs has now surpassed the cost of beef.
00:27:20.040Dozen eggs right now, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
00:27:27.460Dozen large grade A eggs, $4.82 in January.
00:27:33.460And depending on where you live, if you live in a city, if you get the fancy eggs that sweet little Elisa makes me buy, it could be double that.
00:28:16.820We can't afford a whole host of goods.
00:28:20.320And what is our president focusing on?
00:28:22.340Well, he's focusing on the important issues like giving Ukrainians pensions.
00:28:27.160We're going to deliver much-needed humanitarian assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter, and other aid to Ukrainians displaced by Russia's war.
00:28:37.200And provide aid for those seeking refuge in other countries from Ukraine.
00:28:42.500It's also going to help schools and hospitals open.
00:28:45.800It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something, something in their pocket.
00:28:51.640It's also going to provide critical resources to address food shortages around the globe.
00:29:06.800You don't want to send them another $100 billion?
00:29:10.480Biden is so serious about this support for Ukraine that Joe Biden flew to Kiev in recent days.
00:29:17.340The White House announced, today, President Biden is in Kiev to reaffirm America's unwavering commitment to Ukraine's democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
00:29:28.160The United States of America will stand with the Ukrainian people for as long as it takes.
00:29:31.520A lot of conservatives are very confused by this.
00:29:35.300And it's too bad because it's not a very complicated issue.
00:30:26.220The war is about Russia wanting to expand its empire into more of its traditional sphere of influence, to use Barack Obama's term.
00:30:37.600And the United States wanting to expand its empire and stave off the growth of other empires.
00:30:43.560And Ukraine, which is a buffer state, became a flashpoint here because of, I think, a very mismanaged foreign policy in which we forgot the value of buffer states.
00:30:54.040And NATO wanted to expand even more into Ukraine.
00:30:57.640Ukraine was talking about joining the EU and joining NATO.
00:31:02.160Russia wanted leaders that were more sympathetic to Russia.
00:31:05.440America wanted leaders that were more sympathetic to America.
00:31:07.940And so you've had this steady escalation, certainly since 2014, but really for a long time before that.
00:31:13.240You had warnings from fairly serious American statesmen and foreign policy experts, people like Sam Nunn, people like George Kennan wrote the long telegram, people like Henry Kissinger, people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, saying NATO really shouldn't expand all this far into Eastern Europe.
00:31:29.060NATO really should be very careful about expanding into places like Ukraine because that's going to create a provocative situation and could lead us to war.
00:31:36.480And so now Biden feels some responsibility.
00:31:39.420But beyond that, just recognizes that this is an imperial war, like many, many wars throughout the history of the world.
00:31:45.160And so he's got to go there and show that he's serious about maintaining his territorial holding.
00:31:49.660Now, whatever you think about empire or nation, a lot of conservatives want to deny the fact that America is a global empire, but that's just like putting your head in the sand.
00:32:22.820My only observation about all of this is that the libs know how to wield political power.
00:32:30.840It's a point I keep coming back to on the show.
00:32:33.440Now, the libs, for all their sins, for all their faults, for all their empty promises, the libs understand how political power works, how the real constitution works.
00:32:45.180Not the capital C constitution written on that parchment paper that doesn't really reflect the way the American government works anymore and hasn't for a long time.
00:32:55.000They understand the real constitution of the people in the real way the power is wielded.
00:32:59.000This is why the left is so much better at wielding the bureaucracy than the right is.
00:33:02.940The right wants to deny that the bureaucracy exists.
00:33:05.160The right wants to delegitimize the bureaucracy, say it's not to be found in the constitution, therefore we can ignore it.
00:33:11.000But power is wielded by the bureaucracy, and so the libs go in and they just wield it themselves.
00:33:16.260That's a lesson that we could learn as conservatives, but we don't want to learn it.
00:33:22.600Instead, we hear these ridiculous platitudes by people like Larry Hogan.
00:33:26.340Larry Hogan is the squish Republican governor of Maryland.
00:33:29.300Larry Hogan believes that he's going to run for president in 2024.
00:33:32.020And Larry Hogan was asked about one of the biggest issues on the right, one of the most winning issues for Republicans, which is the curriculum battle, the culture wars in the schools.
00:33:43.880This is the issue that helped get Glenn Youngkin elected.
00:33:46.500This is the issue that helped get Ron DeSantis reelected and has really helped him maintain popularity in Florida.
00:33:52.820This has been a winning issue all around the country.
00:33:56.400Larry Hogan says, I don't know, it kind of reeks of big government.
00:34:01.140My question to you is not whether this is a legitimate issue to be talking about.
00:34:06.480It's about whether this is the main issue or not.
00:34:09.280Do you view this as the main issue for 2024?
00:34:12.500No, I think it's an important issue, and I do hear it.
00:34:15.380And people are concerned about this as I travel around the country because, you know, most people just don't think we should be talking about, you know, things like sex to young kids.
00:34:24.280And the parents want to be more involved in decisions about what their kids are being taught.
00:34:28.500However, you know, I think some of this rhetoric is, you know, demanding that things be done a certain way or that you can't say this, you can't say that.
00:34:38.760Does it feel like you're going the other way?
00:34:40.060Like, it's sort of like you're on one hand, you've Governor DeSantis claiming, hey, I don't want all of this, but I'm going to tell you exactly what you can say.
00:34:47.720And I'm going to say what you can't say.
00:34:48.760Well, I'm a small government, you know, common sense conservative.
00:34:51.800And to me, it sounds like big government and authoritarian.
00:34:56.220You have to agree with me, and I'm going to tell you what you can and can't do.
00:35:19.880Those are the terms that the Squishes use to make excuses for not doing anything to stop the left.
00:35:27.580Those are terms that don't mean anything.
00:35:32.840He's saying that if we engage in the curriculum battles, and we say that children should be taught reading, writing, and arithmetic instead of how to chop off their genitals,
00:36:04.960How is it the case that banning gay porn from schools is big government, whereas, say, banning the Bible from schools is not big government?
