In Australia, a mother is trying to turn her kid into a girl. In America, a kid is trying desperately to murder President Trump. And in Oman, the U.S. and Iran are trying to avoid imminent war.
00:01:45.000Are you letting important holidays honoring our service members and their families pass by without displaying your American flag from Allegiance flag?
00:03:11.500But in Australia, there is really, really good news for an issue that we've all been fighting on for a long time.
00:03:20.800A mother was trying desperately to trans her kid in Australia.
00:03:25.860The issue went to court and a judge has ruled.
00:03:29.700Finally, this might be the first story like this.
00:03:32.740A judge has ruled against a crazy mother who was trying to trans her poor little kid.
00:03:39.280The Australian, the newspaper, reports that Justice Andrew Strum awarded sole custody of a 12-year-old boy to the boy's father.
00:03:49.200The boy's father who opposed the boy's mother, the boy's mother who was trying to turn the 12-year-old boy into a 12-year-old girl.
00:03:56.360This is a pretty lengthy judgment, a 58,000-word judgment that looked into the gender clinic that was involved in attempting to trans this kid.
00:04:05.620And they found that the clinic had not formally diagnosed the little 12-year-old boy with gender dysphoria until the court case began.
00:04:16.580So they were starting to trans the kid.
00:04:18.580They never even diagnosed him with gender dysphoria.
00:04:20.840And the judge determined that the boy did not have gender dysphoria.
00:04:25.480He just had a crazy mother living in a crazy culture.
00:04:31.360The judge accepted evidence that the gender clinic has an ideological commitment to the medicalized gender-affirming model.
00:04:39.060So that the mother takes this poor little boy to the gender clinic.
00:04:42.140But the gender clinic is not a serious medical institution because the gender clinic never rules that a child does not have gender dysphoria.
00:04:52.740The gender clinic is just an ideological, I don't know, what would you call it, conversion therapy factory that just takes in poor little kids who have lunatic parents and tries to chop them up and make them look like the opposite sex.
00:05:10.260No alternative treatment options are offered by the clinic for gender dysphoria diagnosed there other than prescription of puberty blockers by a pediatrician.
00:05:20.680A doctor whose diagnosis of the boy was in dispute, quote,
00:05:24.280Could not identify a single case of a child who had been referred by her or one of her colleagues to a pediatrician at that clinic who had not been prescribed puberty blockers.
00:05:35.340Even if you believe in transgenderism or whatever other nonsense, it's got to raise your eyebrow that 100% of cases referred to this clinic result in puberty blockers and a de facto diagnosis of gender dysphoria and trancing the kids.
00:05:51.060There is nothing in medicine that comes out with a 100% rate.
00:05:56.940So this is great news for this poor little kid.
00:05:59.320Great news for the fight to eradicate transgenderism from public life entirely.
00:06:02.720However, we got to remember something here.
00:06:06.840One of the big political wins out of this case is it shows that empathy arguments can cut both ways.
00:06:13.560Because so often you hear the empathy argument from people on the left, from the pro-trans side.
00:06:19.200It says, what about the poor LGBT youth?
00:06:23.400You know, we need to support trans kids.
00:06:25.780Trans kids are being persecuted by this administration, by the global conservatives who are oppressing them, forcing them into the closet, not allowing them to be their true selves.
00:06:39.040This is the argument you hear all the time.
00:06:41.200Remember that lunatic fake bishop lady who was scolding President Trump after his inauguration?
00:06:47.360The bishopress said, trans kids are afraid, Mr. President.
00:09:12.46017-year-old boy, allegedly murdered his parents in order to gain an inheritance so that he could fund his own campaign to assassinate President Trump in order to save the white race.
00:15:00.940Should private persons attempt on their own private presumption to kill the rulers, even though tyrants, assuming the rulers are tyrants already, this would be dangerous for the multitude as well as for their rulers.
00:15:13.540This is because the wicked usually expose themselves to dangers of this kind more than the good.
00:15:17.920For the rule of a king, no less than that of a tyrant, is burdensome to them since, according to the words of Solomon, a wise king scatters the wicked.
00:15:25.960Consequently, by presumption of this kind, to kill the king, to kill the supposed tyrant, danger to the people from the loss of a good king would be more probable than relief through the removal of a tyrant.
00:15:38.660Furthermore, he writes, it seems that to proceed against the cruelty of tyrants is an action to be undertaken, not through the private presumption of a few, but rather by public authority.
00:15:50.840So what Thomas is saying here is, yeah, you hate the authority above you.
00:16:06.900Well, actually, the good that you're going to lose is almost always going to outweigh the good that you could gain.
00:16:15.820So it's going to be more bad than good, and you probably just shouldn't do it.
00:16:19.660But if, in a certain case, you actually are justified in removing the king or the president or the ruler, the civil authority, that should not just come from a private action.
00:16:34.740Which is why, actually, there is a conservative argument for the American Revolution.
00:16:41.000Because it wasn't, there were some real scoundrels and private citizens and lunatics and terrorists who were involved in the American Revolution.
00:16:48.440But, by and large, it was conducted by people that had been invested with public authority in a relatively orderly way.
00:16:56.680That's the conservative argument for it.
00:16:58.600It's not that we don't believe ever in changing the political regime or even in revolution.
00:17:04.920But what the libs want to do is just get all of these complete lunatics people through their own private judgment on the streets to go murder the king.
00:17:13.280There was a survey that came out a week or two ago, 55% of Democrats, of leftists, think that it would be justified to assassinate President Trump.
00:17:28.020But even on the supposed right, it's just bad.
00:17:30.660And it's, I'm not just wagging my finger and scolding.
00:17:33.380It's bad from, and you can deduce its badness from natural philosophy, from human nature, and certainly from religion.
00:17:41.520Speaking of this radicalism and political violence, the Pennsylvania governor just had a decent chunk of his house burned to the ground because of an arsonist.
00:17:53.180The attack was targeted, obviously, at the governor.
00:17:55.860It's hard to accidentally burn down the governor's mansion.
00:17:58.940You know, oh, darn, I meant to get the house next door.
00:18:00.800It was conducted through homemade incendiary devices.
00:18:04.840I'm somewhat familiar with this because Antifa leftist terrorists through an incendiary device at a speech when I was giving a speech at UPIT a couple years ago.
00:18:14.200And now that the suspected arsonist, we don't really know his political motives for sure.
00:18:21.040He might have just been a total lunatic.
00:18:22.600He was due in court a couple days after this attack on the governor's mansion because of a 2023 assault charge.
00:18:28.300So he just might be a lunatic criminal who wants to watch the world burn.
00:20:33.000There will be some, I just gave a long speech on political violence at the University of Pittsburgh, which you can catch on my YouTube channel, I think, and on the YAF YouTube channel.
00:20:41.820But my takeaway was not that there's never any political violence from the right.
00:20:46.560There is sometimes on the extreme right.
00:20:48.940It's usually on the left, but sometimes on the right.
00:20:51.640And that the political violence actually comes from the ideology of the left and this maximizing of autonomy, the kind that you see in the manifesto of that 17-year-old lunatic who wanted to murder Trump.
00:21:03.760But it does sometimes happen on the right.
00:21:07.440And yet, you're never going to see a right-winger, a mainstream Republican, defending the Oklahoma City bombing.
00:21:12.780You will, however, see mainstream left-wingers defend BLM, torching cities, murdering dozens of people.
00:21:22.140You will find mainstream Democrats justifying the assassination of President Trump.
00:21:27.920Now, speaking of the Jews, the Associated Press is reporting, pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, he's that former Columbia graduate student who was creating ruckus, engaging in a lot of pro-Palestine kind of public demonstration, harassing Jews or at least leading people who harass Jews.
00:21:51.700The government cites its power to deport people for beliefs.
00:21:58.460So, this is supposed to be a big scare headline.
00:22:15.080He said, condoning anti-Semitic conduct and disruptive protests in the United States would severely undermine that significant foreign policy objective.
00:22:24.260Now, you have even civil libertarians weighing in.
00:22:27.840Bill Maher, you know, as pro-free speech supposedly as it could be, weighs in, is it okay to deport Mahmoud Khalil from America for opposing Israel, supporting Palestine, such as it is, for his protest?
00:22:51.680All right, what if I was a young student at Columbia, they're on a green card, British, come in, happy to be here, do all my paperwork, get to Columbia.
00:22:59.880And I start leading a group which is a bunch of white supremacists, and we start terrorizing black students in the way that they're terrorizing Jewish students.
00:23:08.540In that circumstance, would we all be as comfortable with this?
00:23:11.980Or is it the reality which was exposed by the mobs at Columbia, which is that for some reason, Jews get treated differently to anybody else when it comes to this kind of thing?
00:23:23.180Because if that had been, honestly, white supremacists treating black students like that, they would be out of the country in seven minutes.
00:23:29.860I really should have said Piers Morgan weighs in, because all you get from Bill Maher is the correct.
00:25:25.360In fact, the students who are here on the foreign visas are here to study why white people are evil and why Western civilization is terrible and why Christianity is wrong and oppressive and terrible.
00:28:26.060The Catholics now outnumber the Anglicans in England by more than two to one among Zoomers and young millennials.
00:28:34.940This is according to reporting from the Telegraph this Easter.
00:28:37.740Thousands of people are going to be received into the Catholic Church, and substantial numbers of them are under the age of 35.
00:28:42.740So notice, the Catholics aren't exploding in—well, they used to explode because of, like, Guy Fawkes and stuff and, you know, the wars of religion.
00:28:49.660But now I'm exploding in terms of numbers and enthusiasm.
00:28:52.980They're not just growing in England because parents are sending their kids to Catholic school.
00:28:59.080They're not just growing in England because Catholics tend to have a lot of children.
00:29:03.680They're growing because of conversions, too.
00:29:05.680A lot of people are going to be received into the Catholic Church this Easter, this coming Sunday.
00:29:13.000Archbishop Marco Toole of Cardiff says,
00:29:15.960When you meet them and hear their stories, they say they are looking for clarity and stability.
00:29:21.300They are attracted to the Catholic Church's strong sense of identity and clarity around the teachings of Jesus.
00:29:28.240I'm not surprised by this really at all, in part because I'm an American and I have read some of my Alexei de Tocqueville.
00:29:36.280Tocqueville predicted for America, he says,
00:29:37.840Even though America seems like it's a Protestant country, over time, the religion of America is unstable,
00:29:43.980and it's going to tend toward either Catholicism or atheism.
00:29:48.640And I think you're actually seeing that play out in America, too.
00:29:50.920But you're seeing the same thing in Britain right now.
00:29:53.260Any return in the West to religion is going to tend toward Catholicism.
00:30:03.240I think that's in part, I being Catholic, think that's in part because Catholicism is true.
00:30:08.520And I think that the faith will endure until the end of the age.
00:30:12.720But even if you don't really believe yet or you have some faith but you're not Catholic or whatever,
00:30:18.480one of the reasons you might agree with my assessment as well is because Catholicism has endured.
00:30:25.600The Catholic Church, love it or hate it, has endured from antiquity.
00:30:29.920It's the only institution in the West that has endured since antiquity.
00:30:34.100And so for younger people who want clarity, who want stability, who are considering these eternal questions for the first time
00:30:41.720after decades of imposed ignorance and glibness and shallowness,
00:30:48.980they are probably going to tend toward the most enduring, stable, sturdy kinds of religion in the West.
00:30:56.720And that really comes down to one, and that's Catholicism.
00:30:59.660You know, this is really no knock on my Methodist friends, say,
00:31:05.440but there will not be a civilization-wide Methodist revival.
00:31:10.760And that is what's going to bring everyone.
