00:00:00.000 For those of you who don't remember Lindsay, you may have seen this clip.

00:00:03.760 Lindsay on the clip, take it away. 1.00

00:00:05.240 Hello, my name is Lindsay Graham and I am a cat.

00:00:08.520 Meow, meow.

00:00:09.700 I'm not a woman dressed as a cat.

00:00:11.580 I am a cat.

00:00:12.780 By show of hands, I'm curious, how many of you believe and confess that I'm a cat?

00:00:17.240 Great.

00:00:17.960 By show of hands, I'm curious, how many of you believe that your child or a child from

00:00:21.860 this school would believe that I'm actually a cat?

00:00:25.440 No one.

00:00:26.380 You are right.

00:00:27.260 Why? 1.00

00:00:28.160 Because you are not stupid. 1.00

00:00:29.620 And these children are not stupid. 1.00

00:00:32.780 Lindsay, we are not stupid. 1.00

00:00:36.820 You are not a cat. 0.99

00:00:38.640 We are very happy to have you on this show.

00:00:40.860 Thank you for coming on.

00:00:42.280 Thank you so much.

00:00:43.520 I appreciate that.

00:00:44.140 My little kids, I have a three, six and nine year old.

00:00:46.500 They've started to memorize that speech and they walk around the house saying, my name

00:00:51.060 is Lindsay Graham and I am a cat.

00:00:52.780 So I guess I have to teach them about transgenderism sooner than I thought.

00:00:56.360 Well, you better because you said your youngest is three.

00:01:01.260 Yes.

00:01:01.820 Well, he's ready to identify now.

00:01:03.860 He is.

00:01:04.400 Well, yeah.

00:01:04.820 According to pre-K, public pre-K in certain states, your kid could be taught about transgenderism

00:01:10.680 already.

00:01:11.000 What has the reaction been just in your local community to your magnificent speech in the

00:01:18.540 cat costume, which I would thank you for wearing on the show today?

00:01:21.220 You're very welcome.

00:01:22.260 I have it easily accessible now.

00:01:23.700 Um, it was really positive.

00:01:27.540 Uh, the man that I was speaking out against, which is Paul Bixler, he's 72 years old.

00:01:32.440 He's lived a full life as a man, married to a woman, two children.

00:01:36.680 All of a sudden he has what I consider a mental breakdown.

00:01:40.780 And I was told that he's wearing his wife's clothing and he's now identifying as a woman

00:01:45.680 and having children call him Miss Bixler.

00:01:49.280 He's done nothing to, to really identify as a woman.

00:01:53.440 Not that that matters other than put on dresses.

00:01:56.600 And, uh, the community has been outraged and actually, you know, I'm sure you know this.

00:02:00.920 A lot of people aren't paying attention still.

00:02:02.620 And so that little charade of mine, the meow, meow, it got a lot of attention, um, which I'm,

00:02:09.040 I'm fine with good and bad, but, but a lot of people in the community had no idea that

00:02:13.880 this man even existed and that he was attending all of the elementary school functions.

00:02:18.720 Spelling bees, carnivals, using the little girls' restrooms, by the way, at these events. 0.99

00:02:24.820 So it brought a lot of attention to the school district in a good way.

00:02:28.840 Um, more people started showing up to the school boards, the email, um, a lot of the,

00:02:32.740 two of the board members are very conservative and messaged me and said, we are getting flooded

00:02:36.720 with emails.

00:02:37.900 Parents didn't even know that this man, that he was doing this.

00:02:41.180 What, what grade does this guy teach?

00:02:42.900 So he's on a school board, um, of the district, which is oversees all of the elementary schools.

00:02:48.100 So he oversees everything.

00:02:49.780 Mm-hmm.

00:02:50.360 Wow.

00:02:50.940 And by the way, you know, it goes beyond, he dresses as a woman and makes kids call him

00:02:56.480 Miss Bixler. 0.99

00:02:57.400 He's advocated and voted for, uh, bills that allow children to identify differently at school

00:03:05.260 and not inform the parents.

00:03:06.880 He is pro-transgenders in sports.

00:03:10.660 So he's your typical liberal.

00:03:12.520 He wants gender to be fluid and non-existent and for men to be able to dominate girls in 0.96

00:03:18.760 their bathrooms and in sports.

00:03:20.120 Wow.

00:03:20.380 This is even worse than I had suspected.

00:03:22.620 For some reason, in my mind, he was a teacher, but no.

00:03:25.280 So if he's on the board, that means that he's actually setting the policy, which if he were

00:03:30.520 just a teacher for one classroom of kids, you'd say, okay, well, it's too bad for that classroom

00:03:34.740 and it's, it's going to be really hard though to, to get rid of a teacher.

00:03:38.200 You know, these unions are so crazy now, it's pretty much impossible to fire them.

00:03:41.240 But no, this is a person who's playing a role crafting policy in a, in a, an ostensibly

00:03:49.840 self-governing democratic republic.

00:03:52.260 And so if he's crafting the policy, then he's shaping the whole education of all of the

00:03:59.500 students.

00:03:59.880 And don't parents have a right to say no?

00:04:02.700 They absolutely do.

00:04:04.680 But you know what?

00:04:05.280 I want to tell you something, Michael, this man went and got a harassment injunction against

00:04:10.900 me and he tried to serve me repeatedly at my home in front of my children.

00:04:16.240 And when that didn't work, he tried to serve me.

00:04:19.220 He did serve me at the next school board meeting because he didn't want me speaking out against

00:04:24.040 him.

00:04:24.440 An elected official who doesn't like the opposition speaking out files a harassment injunction against

00:04:31.060 me and has a cop serve me publicly at the school board.

00:04:34.720 Tells you everything that you need to know.

00:04:37.720 Again, that would be outrageous enough if he were a teacher because you'd say, well, he's

00:04:41.960 receiving a public salary.

00:04:43.220 I'm paying your salary.

00:04:44.260 You're teaching my kids.

00:04:45.100 I have some right to, to say what goes on in the classroom.

00:04:49.060 This is an elected official.

00:04:50.700 This is a politician.

00:04:51.780 This guy is so directly accountable to you, except what they want to do is they want to

00:04:56.580 take the power and then crowd out all the parents.

00:04:58.820 You're seeing this with all of the bills about not only the curricula, but about the books

00:05:02.560 in elementary school libraries around the country.

00:05:04.960 You're seeing the educators and the elected officials saying the people, the parents have

00:05:09.720 no right to determine what kind of books their kids are being taught.

00:05:13.860 Well, then what rights do we have?

00:05:14.820 I guess we have no rights in education.

00:05:16.700 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:18.040 And if you do speak up, you're certainly going to get targeted by the liberals and all of their

00:05:22.480 minions and, you know, he, his transition, if you will, has become a massive distraction

00:05:28.820 in the district.

00:05:30.080 The school board has said so.

00:05:31.900 The news has said so.

00:05:33.120 The parents have said so.

00:05:34.620 The school educators have said so.

00:05:36.980 And he has been asked to step down simply because, you know, you're a distraction and

00:05:42.620 you're, we're not able to focus on the kid's education while you're sitting there in your

00:05:46.380 pearl earrings trying to be addressed as a woman. 0.99

00:05:49.280 It's a distraction.

00:05:50.000 And for that reason alone, we think you should recuse yourself.

00:05:53.220 He refuses to do it.

00:05:54.960 He refuses to do it.

00:05:56.240 He, he believes, no, I'm entitled to behave and act and look and vote on policies that

00:06:03.660 I believe in, whether or not my community supports me or not.

00:06:07.100 The community does not support him.

00:06:09.460 And, you know, you were, you were just talking about liberals and their mentality and how,

00:06:14.320 um, you're not, if you're not qualified to speak on something, you shouldn't be speaking

00:06:18.340 on it.

00:06:18.580 Well, Paul Bixler is not a woman.

00:06:20.420 So for him to walk around the school and tell little kids to address him as a woman,

00:06:25.800 he needs to step down.

00:06:27.520 I think my favorite part about your entire political campaign here is the obvious provocation

00:06:35.200 to the libs.

00:06:36.320 And as far as I can tell, they have taken the bait on this, which is, Lindsay, you're dressed

00:06:42.500 in a way that is inappropriate, that it's inappropriate for you to dress this way at

00:06:47.540 a school board meeting or whatever.

00:06:48.420 And you say, go on, tell me more about dressing inappropriately.

00:06:53.260 Wow.

00:06:53.600 What an interesting topic.

00:06:54.680 Like, I'd love to have that conversation.

00:06:56.640 Why don't I show up dressed as a drag queen next? 0.99

00:06:59.220 And we'll see what you think about that.

00:07:01.200 But yeah, they, um, the, there was a little bit of hate and mind you, the hate is, is minimal

00:07:06.740 because if I were to stop and waste my life arguing with liberals who will never change

00:07:12.140 their mind, I would dominate them easily, but you can't reason with them. 1.00

00:07:16.540 And so some of the comments were, your speech is ridiculous. 1.00

00:07:21.220 Obviously you can't be a cat. 0.99

00:07:23.680 And I'm like, obviously men can't be women either, but you're willing to have that argument. 0.64

00:07:30.840 Well, the choice of the, the cat avatar, I don't know if this was intentional or not,

00:07:35.760 but it's profound in that one of the early national news stories about this weird kind of

00:07:41.940 identity dysphoria was from, I think it was about 20 years ago.

00:07:45.580 There was this character, I forget his name, but he went by Stalking Cat.

00:07:48.520 That was his gnome de plume.

00:07:49.980 And he thought that he was a cat and he had, I think he won the world record for all of the,

00:07:55.060 the largest number of body modifications to look like an animal.

00:07:58.220 And he really mutilated himself.

00:07:59.480 It was very, very sad.

00:08:00.400 He ended up committing suicide.

00:08:01.580 Obviously the guy had, had some problems.

00:08:02.980 He was, he was part of the furry community, it turns out.

00:08:06.460 And he went down a sexually deviant rabbit hole of delusional identity that did not run

00:08:15.260 down to his benefit or the benefit of society at all.

00:08:17.600 And so when you show up to the school board and you draw this parallel with your cat costume,

00:08:22.900 that's not out of left field.

00:08:24.260 That's not totally crazy and absurd.

00:08:26.160 In fact, there's recent precedent for just such an analogy.

00:08:30.460 Exactly.

00:08:31.040 Yeah.

00:08:31.220 And honestly, the, the cat costume was literally laying around because I had worn it for Halloween.

00:08:36.560 And, um, I want to give a shout out to my friend, Kristen Newton.

00:08:39.680 She loves you by the way, watches you all the time.

00:08:42.000 I wrote my cat speech, um, cause I needed it to be, I'm, I'm kind of hardcore.

00:08:47.640 I don't know if you've noticed.

00:08:48.580 And she's like, well, let's go in and edit and maybe take out some of these raw emotions 0.79

00:08:52.320 and put, you know, real, real facts into this.

00:08:54.900 So she helped me edit my cat, cat speech.

00:08:57.360 She's an incredible writer.

00:08:58.400 And it was just ironic that I had a cat costume laying around.

00:09:02.600 And, and Michael, this was the first school board I'd ever spoken at ever in my life.

00:09:06.960 Really?

00:09:08.000 Yeah.

00:09:08.500 And I was like, oh, it went viral.

00:09:10.880 It, well, yeah, you clearly knocked it out of the park.

00:09:13.460 Great job to your friend who edited the speech.

00:09:16.280 It really came off very, very well.

00:09:18.220 And it's, it's been one of the best examples of a broad nationwide phenomenon we're seeing,

00:09:24.440 which is parents stepping up and speaking out.

00:09:26.820 And I wonder if, if this is catching on right now, if this is such a winning issue for conservatives

00:09:33.940 in Virginia, which is a pretty blue commonwealth, in Florida, in all over the country, if this

00:09:40.320 is such a winning issue because people don't have a problem with liberal leftist absurd policies

00:09:47.900 in the abstract.

00:09:49.800 Oh, the man wants to chop himself up.

00:09:51.860 Okay, well, let him do it.

00:09:53.160 Okay, that's fine.

00:09:53.820 But they only start to have a problem with it when it affects them and their school districts

00:10:00.220 and their kids.

00:10:01.240 And all of a sudden, pretty, I was just with the Moms for Liberty the other night down here

00:10:04.720 in, in Nashville.

00:10:06.680 And you had people who were Democrats.

00:10:09.060 You had people who were, who voted left for a lot of their lives who said, wait, what's

00:10:14.820 going on with my kids?

00:10:15.680 I don't think so.

00:10:16.720 Whatever they're for, I'm against.

00:10:19.040 Yep.

00:10:19.480 Well, and, and that's why it's okay to take the hate.

00:10:22.280 People call me, of course, you can imagine a transphobic and a homophobic all the time.

00:10:27.180 And I said, look, these are not the first drag queens to exist. 1.00

00:10:30.640 And, and they're certainly not the first transgender people to exist.

00:10:34.440 You notice that we have a problem when you try to indoctrinate our kids with it.

00:10:39.580 And that is the problem that I have and, and continue to have with Paul Bixler sitting

00:10:44.020 on the board.

00:10:44.680 If he wants to dress like a woman in the privacy of his own home, well, that is a problem for 1.00

00:10:49.360 him.

00:10:49.840 But when you bring it out into society and you sit on a school board and you dictate to 0.99

00:10:55.260 little children to call you a woman when they know, because they're not stupid, that 0.98

00:10:59.780 you're not a woman, you create a problem in society and you expect everyone else to fix 1.00

00:11:04.820 it for you. 1.00

00:11:05.480 Just like the transgenders in the restrooms. 1.00

00:11:07.600 Okay. 1.00

00:11:07.760 If you want to chop off your penis and wear lipstick and pretend that you can even remotely do what 1.00

00:11:14.240 I can do, whatever, have fun with that. 1.00

00:11:17.340 But you can't come into my bathroom.

00:11:18.820 Don't come into my restroom. 0.99

00:11:19.700 And then demand rights that I actually have.

00:11:22.820 Yeah.

00:11:22.980 And, and, and demand new rights that exist for you because you've created a problem for

00:11:27.420 yourself.

00:11:28.120 You solve it.

00:11:29.420 Don't expect me and my kids to solve it.

00:11:31.200 This, this is a nuanced take that the libs don't understand that we understand, which

00:11:37.740 is we're not saying that five years ago is the first time ever that a man wanted to pretend

00:11:43.900 that he was a woman.

00:11:44.600 No, this phenomenon has been going on for all of human history.

00:11:48.300 The phenomenon of having sexually eccentric kind of desires and perceptions.

00:11:53.880 You go back and read Plato's Symposium and Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium describes soulmates as

00:11:59.400 being some people are a man and their soulmate is a woman and they're two halves and they 0.91

00:12:04.200 make a whole.

00:12:04.920 And for some people it's two women and for some people it's two men.

00:12:08.080 And there are all these ideas have percolated for a long time.

00:12:11.600 Eunuchs, transvestites, these ideas and these kinds of eccentricities, they've been around 0.99

00:12:16.680 for a long time.

00:12:17.580 The thing that's new is that we're pretending that it's normal.

00:12:22.060 The thing that's new is that we're pretending that this is conducive to human flourishing.

00:12:26.040 The thing that's new is that we're pretending that it's true, that a man can actually become 0.95

00:12:30.420 a woman.

00:12:30.740 That is what is so absurd.

00:12:32.720 As you say, if some guy wants to put on his wife's blouse in his own closet, we're not

00:12:37.880 sending the morality police door to door to make sure that he's wearing overalls or blue

00:12:41.880 jeans.

00:12:42.680 But when you come into the public square, you have a responsibility to observe the standards

00:12:49.020 and norms and rules and laws of the political community.

00:12:52.320 And it's not just the crazy libs who get to make those rules. 1.00

00:12:55.140 It's ordinary people.

00:12:57.020 It's citizens.

00:12:57.560 It's parents, parents like you, even parents who put on a cat suit to make a point.
