Summary
Trans people in public schools, drag shows, libraries, and public schools have been around for a long time, but the issue of them performing in front of kids is still a hot-button issue. Should they be allowed to do so? And why?

I want to pivot a little to, you know, this is some of the areas where people get worked up.
00:00:03.720
Somebody threw it out because I got on Twitter, I put it out there when people are talking about
00:00:08.680
banning Fox News, for example. We got to ban them. We want CRTC to step in and ban them.
00:00:14.360
They said, no, get over it. Don't watch it. Just change the channel. Why is it always banning? Why
00:00:19.000
is it always shutting down? Why have people jumped straight to attacking the other viewpoint,
00:00:24.260
not allowing the other viewpoint? But somebody tweeted back at me saying, so fine. So you'd be
00:00:28.800
okay with LGBT people in schools and, you know, drag shows and libraries. And yes, actually,
00:00:37.360
yes, I don't care. Now, the thing is, what we have to have is choice. We have to have choice.
00:00:44.720
In a library, for example, as we mentioned before, join the library board if you're really that
00:00:48.860
concerned and don't have trans shows going on there. Likewise with the school, we need charter
00:00:53.440
schools. We need to let parents choose where their kids are going to go and where they aren't.
00:00:57.860
And we need to reframe the discussion and take it back from the trans activists, not trans people,
00:01:06.020
trans activists. And, you know, the trans activists are usually the same hysteric jerks that are the
00:01:13.120
activists that get involved in all the woke causes, usually some basement dwelling white middle-class
00:01:20.340
person who feels that they want to get a chip on their shoulder and make the world a better place
00:01:24.340
by speaking up as a white knight on behalf of some minority or another minority that they aren't even
00:01:29.060
actually a part of. Trans people have been around for a long, long time. And they've been achieving a
00:01:36.580
lot more rights. And they should, I think, you know, they want to live their lives. But the activists got
00:01:42.180
involved. The activists got into the mix. The activists moved the goalposts. They're there to outrage.
00:01:48.980
They're not there to make things better for anybody else. They just have to push it farther and farther
00:01:54.660
and farther. They found the line that's ticking off just about everybody. They finally found it.
00:01:59.860
And it's a straightforward line for most people. Kids. Why are they always so obsessed and getting
00:02:05.700
in front of kids? Why? And no, by the way, because some people imply that they're saying that,
00:02:11.700
well, it's because all those trans performers and drag story, our readers are pedophiles. No,
00:02:15.540
no, they aren't. Not all of them. Not most of them. Hopefully not any of them. But it is odd with
00:02:21.940
that hang up and getting in front of kids. You got the age of majority that hits at 18. That means the
00:02:26.740
majority, guys, guys, gals, whatever, you can perform and do your things in front of millions
00:02:31.780
and millions of people who were older than the age of 18. There's nothing stopping you. It's perfectly
00:02:37.540
legal. It's perfectly allowed. Go for it. But instead, they got to keep pushing it. I mean,
00:02:42.820
that's a story that just get kind of, I got to admit, and I'm not easily shocked,
00:02:46.100
but got me the other day when I saw that was trans woman's testicle falls out in front of
00:02:51.460
children during performance. Yes. Because again, this goes beyond. There's more than one thing here
00:02:59.300
with the trans performances. Now, there's drag time story hour. In that case, somebody's kind of
00:03:05.940
dragged up, dolled up and reading to some kids, usually pretty benign and harmless. But then that limit
00:03:11.060
keeps getting pushed. And we see the videos and it's not everywhere. We see enough. We see the
00:03:14.500
ones where there's kids going up and putting money into the G strings of trans performers.
00:03:20.100
You know, it would be illegal if these were straight people up there. Just leave the kids
00:03:24.420
alone. Leave the kids out of it. Why? Why do we have to keep pushing? And I think personally,
00:03:30.180
I can't speak for them, but I think it's probably making it harder on the genuinely trans people who
00:03:35.380
just want to live their lives. Just leave the kids out of it. Move on. But it's the rage. It's
00:03:41.460
the rage. They got to push. They got to push. You know, I listened to something the other day,
00:03:46.820
I listened to Adam Carolla's podcast a lot. And he said something interesting, or he had a guest who
00:03:52.020
said something interesting. He said, a lot of libertarian minded people tend to be on the autism
00:03:56.020
spectrum, because they have additional different way of emotions in the way they work with things.
00:04:00.180
I don't know if that's fair or not to say if that's the case or whatnot. But yes, I do think
00:04:05.300
though, and one of the ways he put it was good. Wasn't that because we get accused of that you get
00:04:09.300
accused of these sensitive issues, you're heartless, you want this, you want that. No, not not. But
00:04:14.660
a libertarian person won't look at an emotional argument as being valid when it comes to policy.
00:04:22.820
So yes, I emotions are important, but I honestly don't care what you feel. I don't. It's your
00:04:30.020
problem. I want to see results. It doesn't matter what makes you feel good. It matters what works.
00:04:37.700
It doesn't mean I don't have emotions. It just means I'm not going to let the emotions set the policy.
00:04:42.500
Some of these items they love using rent control. I always oppose rent control. I say, why? Why?
00:04:49.140
Do you want people on the streets? Stupid question. But that's the kind of question these emotional
00:04:53.060
jerks send at you, isn't it? Do you want people to be homeless? Do you not feel that people should be
00:04:57.620
able to live comfortably under a roof? Stupid questions. Turning the discussion all based on
00:05:03.860
emotion. Why do I oppose rent control? Not because I'm a heartless jerk. It's because it doesn't work.
00:05:09.780
It never works. Not usually doesn't work. Not only sometimes works. Rent control never works. So the
00:05:18.180
only way a person could potentially push rent control is on an emotional basis. And I reject that premise.
00:05:24.260
You're just wasting time. You are not helping people. Don't you want to deal with the housing
00:05:29.220
crisis? Sure. Not through rent control. It'll make it worse. But that'll be the people without
00:05:34.580
houses. No, won't you clowns? What else? Minimum wage hikes. You oppose minimum wage hike? You want
00:05:40.580
everybody working for slave wages? No, don't ask the stupid questions. But minimum wages don't make people
00:05:47.780
richer, guys. It doesn't work that way. What does a business do when it's forced to raise minimum wages?
00:05:53.540
They raise their prices. When prices raise on everything everywhere, what happens? Inflation.
00:05:59.220
Then the person you just went through that whole rigmarole with, not to mention jobs get shed because
00:06:03.860
other businesses will also lay people off or modernize or do some other things to get rid of the jobs to
00:06:08.340
save money when the minimum wage gets risen. It doesn't work. It doesn't make those low income people any richer.
00:06:16.580
If it did work, and some people say it's a shallow argument being thrown back, then let's just raise it
00:06:20.900
to $80 an hour for everybody and we'll eliminate poverty. Well, the reason we don't do that is
00:06:27.060
because it's economically unviable and it doesn't work. So no, I'm not saying I want to see people live
00:06:31.460
in poverty when I oppose constant minimum wage hikes. I'm saying it doesn't frigging work.
00:06:38.180
Socialized medicine, there's another beauty, isn't it? Canada's sacred healthcare system.
00:06:44.100
You want people to pay for their healthcare with a credit card.
00:06:47.380
You see, again, they throw a question at you. When did anybody say that? Either way,
00:06:53.540
yeah, you know what? I want people to have the option to pay with a credit card. In fact,
00:06:56.260
they do already. It's just that they crossed the border to do it.
