WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.879 And a moving, stirring book. Controversy and concerned Florida Republicans have introduced a 2 00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:14.000 bill that we could drastically alter the legal legal landscape for lgbt LGBTQ plus individuals. 3 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.760 The proposed legislation aims to criminalize what in terms as lewd or las vicious 4 00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:26.079 grooming, thrusting it into the realm of second degree felonies put shool by hefty 5 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.920 fines and extensive prison sentences. Spearheaded by Republicans Taylor Yaravoski and Douglas Bankson, 6 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:40.640 the bill takes a hardline stance against any communication received as promoting sexual activity to 7 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:48.000 minors. However, critics argue that the bill's broad language can disapportionately target LGBTQ 8 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:55.159 plus content and performances, infringing on free expression and potentially censoring file discussions. 9 00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.759 With LGBTQ plus advocates bracing for yet another legislative session marked by potential discrimination, 10 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:08.079 the bill's fate remains uncertain and miss an ongoing bow between Flor's conservative leadership and 11 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:14.079 lgbtwo plus right activists. This story is from the National Review, published on 12 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.359 Jerry eleven. Okay, Lie, I got some shit to say, but 13 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.680 I'm going to pass it over to you opinions. Yeah, I gotta, 14 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.879 I gotta take it breather, Okay, go. So so I personally our 15 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.959 title, and I'm like, hold on, Like we already knew that grooming 16 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.599 is not a good thing to do, right, But important is about actually 17 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.319 protecting anybody. It's about criminalizing groups of people for existing, so representative Yarkowski 18 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:49.000 daili Orkowski decries drag shows specifically, and and probably even anything seen as remotely 19 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.200 not straight, as confusing for young kids, as if children are born knowing 20 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.359 the rules of heteronormative society. And and that's always been such a strange concept 21 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.599 to me, that they assume children are going to be confused by things like 22 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.640 this. You know what, I was just thinking, just because you're confused 23 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.400 doesn't mean your children are. Kids are smart, they learn quick. So 24 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.039 but as you look at the language of the bill, it seems like just 25 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:24.639 acknowledging to a person younger than sixteen that sex exists about having sex? Why 26 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:30.520 would you ever do that? So this would require abstinence only education in Florida 27 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.159 schools, which is already the case in Florida. I looked up states that 28 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.199 have abstinence only education, and in Florida is one of the states that stresses 29 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.840 teaching abstinence, but we all know that that is not an effective tool for 30 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.000 preventing pregnancy. You're actually teaching kids about how to be responsible. Out of 31 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.840 the ten states with the highest birth rate among people age fifteen to nineteen who 32 00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:00.280 can get pregnant, five of those states either don't require sex education and in 33 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.639 any way at all, or require abstinence focused education. Surprising everyone, Florida 34 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.719 is actually not in that top ten list. They come in just they come 35 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:13.560 in at number twenty three with fifteen point four berths or sorry, fifteen point 36 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.039 two berths per one thousand pregnancy capable teenagers, just under the national average of 37 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.719 fifty four. Just as a side note, but I was thinking about this, 38 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.639 and I remember hearing on an episode several months ago, and I'm pretty 39 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.840 sure Cross Examiner you were the one that said it turn about is fair play, 40 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.960 and that was our art something he would saying an article about Florida once 41 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.039 again, because we cover that a lot on this show covered last time I 42 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:46.599 was on. But there are descriptions in the Bible of Sex of things that 43 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.639 would now be considered illegal, for example, the story of Lot and his 44 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.280 daughters that would be considered illegal today. And the bill specifies, you know, 45 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:02.479 encouraging minors younger than sixteen to engage in illegal sex act that is felonious. 46 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:09.039 So I wonder if any of these, you know, the Christian nationalists, 47 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.280 you know, lawmakers in Florida, are going to consider that before they 48 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.639 really lean in art on this bill. Sorry a cross examiner, what do 49 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.560 you have to Well, I hadn't thought of applying it to the Bible, 50 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.480 but I think you're right. So there's two issues with this particular thing. 51 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.399 I'm gonna I'm gonna go to town a little bit on this. My background 52 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.680 is in the law, so I've read the bill. They have changed the 53 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.800 bill since this article was written. So that's the first story is somewhere. 54 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.240 And it only took about eight or nine days since the bill was introduced. 55 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:44.000 Between that time and the amendment that people realize they really screwed up. But 56 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.959 let's talk about the bill. It was introduced because it highlights the ineptitude of 57 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.160 state legislators. They generally are not very good at writing laws. They don't 58 00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:00.199 understand how to create sentences that have good definitions and good structure and and define 59 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.040 activity that they want to make illegal and excludes activity that they want to remain 60 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.279 legal. And sometimes that's on purpose. They just want to get up and 61 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.560 say, I introduce this bill that will get rid of those you know, 62 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.720 drag queens to their constituents. And that's true. They introduced it, and 63 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.839 then after the hubbub dies down, they go to amendment to make it the 64 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.079 mendate to make it constitutional. First the first bill, and this is what 65 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.079 the highlights. It would make it a felony for a person to engage in 66 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:35.600 the process of preparing or encouraging a child whatever that means, a process of 67 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:43.519 preparing or encouraging a child to engage in sexual activity, either through overtly overtly 68 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.839 I shouldn't say overly overtly sexually themed communication with the child whatever that means, 69 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:55.680 or in conduct with or observed by the child. Right, So, it 70 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.879 would be a felony for someone to teach the child what sex was, because 71 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:06.240 that would be the process of preparing a child to engage in sexual activity through 72 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.759 overtly sexually themed communication. That would be a felony. I have a book 73 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.160 here that I have given to my kids. And on the cover it says 74 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.319 over two million copies sold. This is called Where Did I Come From? 75 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.759 It teaches kids the birds and the bees in a very good way. Right 76 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.040 now, there's a clause at the end that says you can't do this without 77 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.160 permission of the child's parent or league art. That's when that's when it becomes 78 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.839 illegal. If the parent does this, you're okay, So I'm okay to 79 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.040 give this to my kid. But it leaves open like what if I didn't 80 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.120 tell my wife that parent didn't give permission, so I would be a felon. 81 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.399 Maybe if I gave this to my child and didn't tell my wife forgot 82 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.519 to or more specifically, the school nurse gives this to somebody or information about 83 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.920 birth control or anything like that without telling the parent, it is a Now 84 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.279 it would be a felony under this old version. Now the new version they 85 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.480 changed it, so it's basically criminalizing that which is already criminal, which is 86 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.879 you know, again watering it down to be nothing. Now it has Oh 87 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.480 and by the way, they didn't exclude anybody who was under eighteen, So 88 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.240 if you were sixteen hitting on your boyfriend or your girlfriend in a communicative way, 89 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.399 you were a felon now under that old bill, right, So the 90 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.240 new bill says a person who is eighteen years or older who engages a pattern 91 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.920 of not a process of a change of that. And then they describe written, 92 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.160 verbal, electronic communication that demonstrates sexual condentt or sexual incitement, and they 93 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:40.160 refer to all of the Sex Crimes Acts to get their definitions for the directed 94 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.160 at a person who's less than sixteen years of age. They're trying to get 95 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.000 the seventeens and eighteen year olds from dating each other. That's okay for the 96 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.439 purpose of preparing, encouraging, or enticing such a person to engage in any 97 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.759 unlawful sexual activity. They added all of that stuff. So now they're basically 98 00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:01.639 saying, if you do stuff sexually to get a kid to participate in unlawful 99 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.199 sexual activity, that's a crime. Well, it already was a crime. 100 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.839 So they introduced a bill that was targeting drag shows they accidentally would criminalize probably 101 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.160 their own behavior in educating their kids, or their neighbor's kids, or the 102 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.639 school that's educating kids, and then quietly without any press watered it down to 103 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.000 basically, this is going to be criminalizing that which was already criminal, which 104 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.039 is exactly what the GOP constantly rails about. Why do we have so many 105 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.279 laws? Why do we have so many regulations that we don't need all this 106 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:46.000 stuff? Exactly? This is a good example. It is now, it 107 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.879 is now, but at the time, like when it came out, I'll 108 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.919 get trying. If I gave this book to my neighbor's kid, or the 109 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.000 school nurse gave this book to my kid in Florida under the original bill without 110 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.759 my permission, like not like against my will, but just not telling me, 111 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.559 forgetting to tell me, or just having into the library. If if 112 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.519 the librarian gave it to them, it would not just be illegal or not 113 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.279 the civil offense, it would have been a felony. And these these these 114 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.840 legislators put these laws out and occasionally they slipped through because nobody notices, and 115 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.440 the original language stays in and they go in because they're inept or they want, 116 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.360 as we were talking in an earlier segment with Eli, they want this 117 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.000 to become a Christian nation. So uh, yeah, Kelly, you were 118 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.399 applauding. I didn't mean to take up so much time, but I was, 119 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.039 actually I was. It was actually very self centered. I was plotting 120 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.679 myself because I was thinking along the same lines as you were, and I 121 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.679 thought if I was doing that, that was pretty smart of me. So 122 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:56.120 that is clapping for myself. So, like my whole my notes start out 123 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.720 with, let's put forth a scenario, and this would have been under the 124 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.759 old version of the bill. My sixteen year old granddaughter comes to me for 125 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:09.159 advice. She's her mother, My daughter's on vacation. Grandma lives in a 126 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.440 different state. She's having trouble urine eating. It's never experienced anything like it 127 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.399 before. And after fifteen to twenty minutes of conversation, I become concerned that, 128 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.960 you know, she might have an STD, so I volunteer to drive 129 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.840 over to our house, pick her up, take her to the doctor. 130 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.399 Along the way, I tell her not to worry about it. Most of 131 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.159 this, most of these can be cured easily. Just you should let all 132 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.279 your sex partners know. Nobody's going to pass judgment and nobody's going to tell 133 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.639 you you can't have sex anymore. Now under that law, I could have 134 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.279 gone to jail for thirty years. Yes, you would have been, and 135 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.320 you would have engaged in the process of preparing a child something under eighteen to 136 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.440 engage in sexual activity through overtly sexually themed communication. You talk to her about 137 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.320 sex, you're preparing her to have sex safely, but that they don't say 138 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.039 safely or anything like that. You would have been a felon right and that 139 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.039 that's as soon as I saw this law, I was like, this is 140 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.200 because this is the thing that they keep doing this this a lot of these 141 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.080 uh, these anti woke crusaders. They make these bills with language that is 142 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.039 so overly broad, like the Protection of Child Act that Florida legislator passed in 143 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.440 May twenty twenty three, you know, and it just the laws can't can't 144 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.519 be implemented. I'm having a hard time. Toy boat, toy boat, 145 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.159 toy boat. Okay, Now that law was eventually struck down because they they 146 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.399 make these laws with this overly broad language that you can't pin down exactly what 147 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.600 it is that they're supposed to actually be legislating about. You know, absolutely 148 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.120 right that. Yeah, that's something I was going to bring up when you 149 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.440 mentioned that, is the first bill would have been unconstitutional due to vagueness, 150 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.960 Like that's a that's a standard that the court says, you can't have a 151 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.200 law that's vague, you can't criminalize behavior and just be like we don't. 152 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.039 We're you're not allowed to do stuff that's yucky and that be a law because 153 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.519 that's too vague. Yeah, and it seems like it's almost like it like 154 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.120 a strategy, like you were saying, there's this big fan for we put 155 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.200 this bill in, We're gonna pet oh, we're gonna get loaded against it, 156 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.360 right, and then when the bill dies six months later because it's not 157 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.279 constitutional, there's there's no fan faar and nobody, you know. And then 158 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:26.960 then when it's judging the election I introduced that bill when it's time to elecd 159 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.679 it right, right, exactly, Helen. So I do want to point 160 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960 out like the way that the like I'm going to do this little quota your 161 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:43.279 Vosky said, which this seems so fucking silly to me. All ages welcome 162 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.159 should be a crime in Florida for these types of events, and under five 163 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:52.000 year old free should be a felony. One of the best sponsors your Oscy 164 00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.559 tweeted in twenty twenty two, referencing a drag performance. I've been saying this 165 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.720 publicly while campaigning over the past year. There there's nothing okay about any any 166 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:11.879 of this evil grooming and confusing of young kids hashag child abuse. Now I 167 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.799 got problems with these mofos because, like, like we were talking about under 168 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.159 the previous language of the lot that was very broad strokes. And this is 169 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.200 what happened with the book bands that happened in my was happened in Florida, 170 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:30.080 is that the language was so broad that any mention what might cause a parent 171 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.440 to make it like a stink eye about they because there's no way to tell 172 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.799 what's going to offend somebody, you know, like I might find, you 173 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.480 know, something very offensive where other another person may not. And I can 174 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.039 go to the school board and be like, hey, I don't like this, 175 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.399 this is making this is making me feel bad, please and I don't 176 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.440 want kids to read it. Please get rid of it, you know, 177 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.120 And the school's like because because that's that's the world we live in right now. 178 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.159 And you have to think about like, like imagine and if it's Halloween 179 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.320 and you dress up and drag as like you know, a character, like 180 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.679 I did it, like it come as your favorite queer person party, you 181 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.519 know. A couple of years ago, for Halloween and is that illegal because 182 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.399 they were miners present, Like like the way this was worded, like what's 183 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.080 the line? And I am glad that Like people are like, no, 184 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.799 we can't really do this, but my but I think it's rhetoric. It's 185 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.720 like we're going we're going to make a big stink of like you know, 186 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.120 you know, like liberals in you know, and like you know, the 187 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.039 radical laugh and blah blah blah. Okay, cool. I was the agenda, 188 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.159 the welcome to agenda, which is basically like, yeah, can we 189 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.639 just all treat people like human beings and let them have echol rights? That'd 190 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.399 be great, thank you. For some reason, they always make it about 191 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.720 children. But the thing is, though there's queer kids, you are I 192 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:54.360 knew I was queer when I was seven years old. It was confirmed when 193 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.759 I was fifteen, but I was seven. And also I would like to 194 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.559 point out that I gave my kids better as sex education the Florida school system. 195 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.519 My kids that told me that, like, you were much better at 196 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.480 teaching me about sex than the Florida school system, so you know, and 197 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.960 those are the like I think there has to be a combination of education and 198 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.480 home home safety and balance, like there has to be. There's always been 199 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.799 this tandem between the two, between schools and the state, and you know, 200 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.200 people's private you know, private wants and you know, desires, and 201 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.360 we've always under kind of understood this, but lately it's saying like, well, 202 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.120 if I find something icky, I'm going to make a think about it 203 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.039 and hopefully somebody makes a law. And and I know that this didn't pass, 204 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.600 you know, and we're just going to make things that were already bad 205 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.519 like, okay, yes, we all agree that, you know, people 206 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.559 shouldn't be weird around kids because it's gross. Don't do that, people, 207 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.679 But also you can say boys have penises, girls have vaginas and tell her, 208 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.159 you know, like we can have those conversation about sex, and then 209 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.120 we can talk about gender identity and all that sort of thing. But those 210 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.440 are normal conversations should we should be having with kids so they can understand. 211 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.840 They guess what, your generals don't make your personality who you are as a 212 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.840 person, same with your sexuality, same as being a person in the world. 213 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.120 So you know, I have any sweet summer time. I'm a sweet 214 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:29.799 little summer child. Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a clear ass, 215 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.639 you know, uppity woman. Okay, there's a prong in the law 216 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.120 that we didn't talk about that covers what your question actually and it covers what 217 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.279 Eli was talking about about this being a law designed to criminalize people existing. 218 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.720 So one of the prongs was, again the first version of the bill, 219 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.120 a person who engages in the process of preparing the child to engage in sex 220 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:57.000 sexual activity through overtly sexually themed communication. That's one or in conduct observed by 221 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:02.879 the child. So did you engage in a process of preparing a child to 222 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:07.880 engage in sexual activity in conduct by using conduct that a child observed? So 223 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.000 that's where they're going after that generic thing. Oh, you went to a 224 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.200 drag joe. We're going to call that preparing or encouraging a child to engage 225 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.839 in sexual activity because you observed a drag joe. And that says more about 226 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.640 the GOP than it says about anything else, because they view a guy in 227 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:30.599 address as overtly sexual. I was just thinking that too. I mean that 228 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.000 that says something about them because they're looking at men and men in a dress 229 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:41.000 and getting turned down by it. Right right, I'm kind of like it's 230 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.599 like, hey, man, like whatever makes you happy, like it's okay, 231 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:51.160 like I'm not gonna dumb your now and again again very vague, unconstitutionally 232 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.680 vague, engaged in conduct like what conduct you didn't talk about that they do 233 00:17:55.759 --> 00:18:00.319 later in the bill. But yeah, it's it's it's designed, as Eli 234 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.160 was saying, to criminalize people for existing. If a child observes you wearing 235 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.039 a dress or maybe even just who knows, wearing a tea shirt that says 236 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.759 gay people exist, is that conduct observed to a child that is encouraging them 237 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:21.000 to be sexual? They think it is. That's the problem. It isn't. 238 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.000 This is all very silly, by the way, Ali, do you 239 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:33.319 think this is silly, because please see Queen from Yarkowski that you read, 240 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.039 Helen. But it really just kind of gives away their intent behind it. 241 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.759 And in the article it even says like you don't need to hypothesize what this 242 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.079 bill is about. It's pretty clear based on who the supporters of it, 243 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.160 who the authors of it are, and like that that specific language you read 244 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:53.279 across exam and just the way these politicians are or these representative, Yeah, 245 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:59.680 representatives are are conducting themselves socially publicly, like on social media that makes it 246 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.720 extreme, namely clear what it is. And I think Kelly, I didn't 247 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.000 think of it before, but you mentioned that this is just so that the 248 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.759 next election term they can say, oh, well, you know, I 249 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.960 wrote this bill, I introduced this bill. What did my opponent do or 250 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.920 what did you know anybody else do to try to get rid of those you 251 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.559 know, get rid of wokeism. You know you don't care about the children, 252 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.240 which they don't. I really hate this. I'm just going to say 253 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.920 this right now. I'm stick and tired of political puponents using children as like 254 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:33.720 propping them up as for a win so they get votes. I think it's 255 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.839 very gross. I don't like it. Sorry, it was just a side 256 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.599 thing that drives me crazy. Go ahead, you well, I was going 257 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.759 to add. It's also to Eli's point, it can also be a poison 258 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.000 pill. They may not intend for it to pass, They just want to 259 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.039 put the bill up to so they can go in front of their voters and 260 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.200 say I introduced a bill that would stop this drag queen nonsense. And the 261 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.200 liberals voted against it or it passed, but the activist judges shot it down. 262 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.960 So we should hate the judges and we should hate the liberals when they 263 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.920 knew all along it was a ship bill. That's what they do. I 264 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.880 don't think they care whether it passes or not. It's just for image. 265 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.240 Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's just it's just a symbol to show 266 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.920 that, look, I'm anti woke, just like all you people think I 267 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.119 should be, which I'm not sure is a winning strategy to begin with anymore. 268 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.119 You know, it might have been for a brief moment of time, 269 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.000 but I don't think it is anymore. Yep.
