WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.279 Hey, kids, did you know that a lawsuit was filed 2 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:08.880 by Texas Attorney General Paxton? Can Paxton to be actually 3 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:13.320 accurate and challenging the inclusion of gender dysphoria under section 4 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.879 five O four of the Rehabilitation Act of seventeen ry 5 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.879 not seventeen nineteen seventy three. Yeah, that's the greed. 6 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:20.839 That's the year. 7 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:21.160 People. 8 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.280 Let's go with that. Let me start talking before I 9 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.199 start putting my foot in the mouth, and let AJ 10 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.000 tell your story. 11 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.559 HEYJ think you Cindia? Your correct? A lawsuit was filed 12 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.719 by my very own taxes Attorney General Ken Paxton, and 13 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.840 as you said, he wants to challenge the inclusion of 14 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:44.119 gender dysphoria under Septune five O four. This act, the 15 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.960 Rehabilitation Act of nineteen seventy three, protects individuals with disabilities 16 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.240 from discrimination in federally funded institutions such as schools or hospitals. 17 00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:01.159 And while the lawsuit primarily targets gender identity protections, it 18 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.519 also argues that section five O four itself is unconstitutional, 19 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.079 given judges the option to eliminate it entirely. Now the 20 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.040 gender This four year class was added by President Biden 21 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:20.719 and with the administration, the administration change the lawsuits. Future 22 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.560 is currently uncertain, but in Texas alone, the outcome could 23 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.640 impact over four hundred thousand students that rely on these protections. 24 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.359 So this story is from KHU dot com by Victor 25 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:39.280 Jacobo and Chris Hannah on February fifteenth, twenty twenty five. 26 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.760 That's a lot of people that you mentioned that could 27 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.760 be affected. And I would even conjecture adversely concerning the 28 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.560 outcome of how Section five or four is interpreted. So, AJ, 29 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.159 I'm going to pick your brain a little bit if 30 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.680 you would allow me, what would be the real world 31 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:05.599 consequences if Section fible for were declared unconstitutional, particularly for 32 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.319 students and patients relying on these protections. 33 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.840 There's a lot of stake, you know. This protection applies 34 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.680 to any organization that receives financial assistance from the federal government. 35 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:23.560 It can be public schools, public colleges, universities. There's even libraries, museums, 36 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:29.560 public parks, recreation programs. I don't know local government agencies 37 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.800 that we said, hospitals, clinics, mental health facilities, nursing homes 38 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.800 that receive Medicare, Medicaid, anything that receives a grant from 39 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.759 the federal government or contract from the federal government has 40 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.599 to comply with these non discrimination rules from Section faber four. 41 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.039 So this is so that people with disabilities can have 42 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.120 equal access to services, education, employment opportunities. It offers so much. 43 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:04.560 It offers things like wheelchair rems, elevators, UH, being able 44 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.759 to sit up at the front in school because you 45 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.400 have a visual impairment, material braier for fully blind students, 46 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:16.000 a cel interpreters for deaf people like myself, other accommodations 47 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.000 for for hearing impairments, classroom accommodations for things like taking 48 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.520 a long break. My kids had a fib or four 49 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.080 plant because they're autistic and have a hard condition, so 50 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.960 these accommodated things like being able to go to a 51 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.280 cool down area when they were felt like they're hard anxiety, 52 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.879 things like being able to take a break during PE 53 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.960 classes if they frow out of bread, all kinds of 54 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.240 things for people with medical needs, like being able to 55 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.759 carry your your insulin pump okay if you're diabetic, being 56 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.199 able to carry on epipene if you have life threatening allergies, 57 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.280 being able to go to the nurse. It's not just 58 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.759 about the gender. UH dysphoria issue that they that they're 59 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.840 trying to target again and this is just about erasing 60 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.280 transgender people. But they don't realize that if they were 61 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.759 to succeed in taking away these vibl form protections, they 62 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.360 will be affecting so many children and adults, not just children, 63 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.199 but adults as love that benefit from all of these 64 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.079 amazing protections. 65 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.439 Norm all sounds like they're trying to turn the ADA 66 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.279 upside down. Yeah, because like the ADA of itself, that 67 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.439 particular legislation that came out, I want to say in 68 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.800 nineteen ninety two does exactly what you say gives people 69 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.920 who are you know, Americans who are living with disabilities, 70 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.040 the ability to quell some of the things that they 71 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.639 may be experiencing that may not necessarily affect, you know, 72 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.160 the general populace of the United States. Right. So I 73 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.839 can carry my EpiPen, I can carry my insulin pump. 74 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.240 I can get special accommodations when I'm taking tests because 75 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.800 I'm living with autism or I'm living with add you know. 76 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.120 And I think that if you just allow me just 77 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.839 like a little room just to kind of just say 78 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.920 what's on my mind, just oftentimes think about like people 79 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.360 who happen to be on the right of these issues, 80 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:18.000 and they don't really realize the real world implication taking 81 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.680 away protections that have been fought for since the fifties 82 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.959 and sixties can be even in their perview, I don't 83 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.680 necessarily think that they understand that, like everything has been 84 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:40.839 regulated to CRT woke in DEI bad And if this 85 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.199 five oh four section five oh four, it's because it 86 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.720 has a caveat of protections for transgender people in that 87 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.720 same area. They are willing I'm specifically talking about the right, 88 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.959 are willing to throw the baby out with the bath 89 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:03.560 water until it gets to the point where you realize that, oh, well, 90 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.199 I'm not transgender. Yeah, but you may be living with 91 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.759 a disability. You may be diabetic, you may be you know, 92 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.040 a person that is susceptible to anaphylexics. You may be 93 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.800 a person who you know requires like durable medical equipment 94 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.560 in order for you to be able to move through 95 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.120 your day to day. So if this is you and 96 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.519 this section protects you, are you willing to throw it 97 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.519 out too? And as of late, I would conjecture that 98 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.839 a lot of people would say yes to prove what 99 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.879 type of point. I don't know, but Glenn, I'm coming 100 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.759 to you. I'm wondering how does targeting gender dysphoria in 101 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.519 section five or four reflect broader legal, legal, and political 102 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.879 trends regarding disability rights and LGBTQ protection. 103 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.279 Well, fir Cynthia, I have to say that I think 104 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.720 a lot of these people, what really happens is is 105 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.560 they're going, yeah, yeah, yeah, kill that DEI, get rid 106 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.040 of that woke garbage, get rid of that, and until 107 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.160 they realize that they just sabotage their own self interest 108 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.399 and then they're like, oh I. And we see this 109 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.120 time and again happening with the things that are going 110 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.639 on with people who have voted for certain people and 111 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.360 then when they got an office go oh, I didn't 112 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.199 mean you know, you're gonna men fire me, and this 113 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.040 type of mentality. It's the same thing with these types 114 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.639 of programs. We see people who, yeah, let's get rid 115 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.079 of that woke trash, let's get rid of that, until 116 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.920 it affects them and oh, that's what this does. Oh, 117 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:39.079 because they've accepted someone telling them that this label belongs 118 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.480 to this program, and so it's all garbage because it's 119 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.279 all woke, So let's get rid of it. It's all DEI, 120 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.560 let's get rid of it. 121 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.839 And so they don't do any actually in depth digging 122 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.399 because most of these new politically aware people that we've 123 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.839 seen come on seen in the last ten years have 124 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.639 no They couldn't tell you the basics of how it 125 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:04.079 build gets passed through Congress, much less the nuances of subcommittees, 126 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.879 there are all the other things that how things actually 127 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.399 work in the real world. 128 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.240 They just hear this, oh, and that sounds terrible, so 129 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.319 let's go that way. And that's what's going on with 130 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.319 this bill, because I don't think that when you got 131 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.480 down to it, if most people really understood many of 132 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.720 the things we're talking about with this would be far this. 133 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.160 My child goes to school under one of these plans 134 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.759 as well because of their spinal cord injury. So when 135 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.279 it comes down to it, this isn't a right left issue, 136 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.080 but it's been framed in a way that certain people 137 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.720 on the right see it as a wright left issue. 138 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.120 So until it impacts them personally, Yeah, it's at the 139 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.440 stick it to the libs. Let's go ahead and show 140 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.159 those libs. Let's let's get rid of this woke stuff. 141 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.519 Let's let's show them oh wait, wait what, I'm not woke. 142 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.720 I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm not woke at all. What's 143 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.639 going on? Why? Why did it cost me something? And 144 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.120 I think that that's what it's going to take before 145 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.120 these people realize just held terrible the bill of goods 146 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.679 they've been sold, because they've been sold in this concept 147 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:08.639 that one tenth or less of one percent is ruining 148 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.720 their world, so we need to make sure we do 149 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.879 something about it, when in reality, all they're doing is 150 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.360 being sucker punch and go and hit me again. 151 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.600 Sam, I think you're brought out a really good point 152 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.960 in that they don't understand the bill and they don't 153 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.720 understand what is going on here because if you look 154 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.159 at the gender or dysphourier protections that are offered in 155 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.600 the File four brand, it isn't anything out there. It 156 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.799 isn't anything worke. It's like having a flexible schedule for 157 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.720 a medical appointments, having been able to access to medical devices, 158 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.000 having seed in preference, if you want to sit, you 159 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:50.279 know away first centred people being respecting change in names 160 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.080 or pronouns, which I guess that's where they see the 161 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.759 big issue. I don't know or like being able to 162 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.240 go to the nurse restaurom instead of like the gender 163 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.320 rest I'm just like, what is the big fucking deal 164 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.200 about that.

These 183 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.600 are the people who are doing it right, and at 184 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.879 the end of the day, the only thing that they 185 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.360 are concerned about is their own personal agenda, and their 186 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.120 personal agenda is to make sure that their bottom line 187 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:35.320 is actually maintained and continued under the administration that we 188 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.279 are looking at right now. And if that means that 189 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.360 a few people are going to be burned in the 190 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.799 fray because of the policies that we are espousing, so 191 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.399 fucking be it. I mean, like, I don't see I mean, like, 192 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:53.039 you know, maybe my viewpoint when it comes to like 193 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.559 things like this may be a bit on the data 194 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.200 side of life. I will admit that, but according to 195 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:05.159 like my own observation, I don't see any other way 196 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.440 outside of that. And if that means that I need 197 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.159 to work on myself, fine, I'll take that. You know, 198 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.720 I'll call a therapists tomorrow and battle health and we 199 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.000 can go ahead and go at it. But until then, 200 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.080 unless like any other empirical data has been presented to 201 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.240 me to actually say otherwise, I don't see it. So, Aaron, 202 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.080 I'm coming to you. My question for you is how 203 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.360 does targeting gender dysphoria in section five O four reflect 204 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:38.679 broader legal and political trends regarding disability rights and lgbt 205 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.320 LGBTQ protection. 206 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.600 Well, now is the perfect time for anybody that's that 207 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.559 wants to be dogmatic around the other stuff to bring 208 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.240 your lawsuits because we have a corrupt Supreme Court. We 209 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.440 have a Supreme Court that is no longer using law 210 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:59.240 and case hate histories. I can't remember what that's called, 211 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.080 actually called, but his story Decisives I think, is the 212 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.559 name where the Supreme Court defers to previous decisions and 213 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.480 doesn't tend to reverse itself. We have a court now 214 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.639 that doesn't really care that they want to depend on 215 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.519 traditions as the basis for laws instead of the actual 216 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.360 laws and the actual previous decisions. So now is the 217 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.799 perfect time to go after any one of your pet issues, 218 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.519 especially gender and gender dysphoria. I have no doubt whatsoever 219 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.759 that if this reaches its way to the Supreme Court 220 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.080 that it will it will strike this down. Because what 221 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.519 happens is the law. I think from what I researched, 222 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.279 the law states that reasonable accommodations have to be made, 223 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.759 and then it's the government, I camera which department, If 224 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.799 it's the Department of Education or what. But one of 225 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.679 the departments actually outlines what this means, right, so they 226 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.840 published documents telling everybody, this is what this law means. 227 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.799 It means that you can't discriminate it for and it 228 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.960 just you know, itemizes it. It goes off for tens dozens, 229 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.039 hundreds of pages. I couldn't get through it all, it 230 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.320 was so long. And so what they're going after is 231 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.720 this this explanation of what the law means, analogy to 232 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.159 be interpreted. And if that gets struck down, and then 233 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.360 the Supreme Court is already struck down the Chevron doctrine 234 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:15.399 Chevron difference, where the where courts and judges were instructed 235 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.519 to defer to experts in their fields when determining things, 236 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.679 which which gave the government the ability to write regulations. Well, 237 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.279 the Supreme Court said, sorry, if it's not passed by 238 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.919 a legislature, it doesn't count. So I have no doubt 239 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.679 that that if this gets overturned it makes it to 240 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.759 the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is going to say, sorry, 241 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.000 if it's not in law, you can't write it down. 242 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.799 And so they're gonna have to get They're gonna be 243 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.240 stuck with the literal words in Section five O four 244 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.679 at best and at worst, they're just going to they're 245 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.000 going to strike it down. And so this is the 246 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.440 perfect time for getting these kinds of dogmatic religious issues 247 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.919 struck down instead of by a corrupt Supreme Court. 248 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:57.399 So gay them. 249 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.000 I guess, well, it's kind of like what Justice Soda 250 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.840 Mayra said, the lemon test is dead. 251 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.279 Oh yeah, yes it is. And what do they replace 252 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:06.600 it with? 253 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.240 Tradition? 254 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.799 That literally, that's what I can't remember says in his 255 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.159 decision that we need to use traditions to determine what's 256 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.440 what's legal and what's not. Oh my gosh, well that's 257 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.279 that was true. We'd still have a lot of horrible 258 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:21.919 things going on in this country. 259 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.399 But if you use traditions, then you're going to be 260 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:30.759 regulated to the same way that Oh my god, Justice 261 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:36.919 what is his name, Scalia? I think Scolia used his 262 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.440 you know, moniker for tradition when he came up with 263 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.960 his concurrence for overturning the dops kit. He used laws 264 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.759 written in England in the freaking sixteen hundreds to cite tradition. 265 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.039 I like, my dude, the United States wasn't even form yet. 266 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.000 What are you doing right now. 267 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.200 Yeah, people that aren't lawyers can see the corruptness of 268 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.879 their decisions. If I can read the decision and look 269 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.799 and see and know how corrupt it is. If a 270 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.840 regular citysen can see that, it's it's just ridiculous, it's awful. 271 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.159 Yeah, and I'm sorry, No, it wasn't. It was a 272 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:18.440 Scali was corsage. That's that that that fucker. But you know, regardless, heyday, 273 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.360 I want to come back to you. I'm asking this 274 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.639 question basically saying, should state have the power to challenge 275 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:31.120 federal civil rights protections or does this set a dangerous 276 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.440 precedent for rolling back other anti discrimination laws. 277 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.840 That's a tough question because I mean, I do think 278 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.399 that states should have the ability to challenge these things, Okay, 279 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.600 But at the same time, you have right now, like 280 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:49.240 this lawsuit came from these states and to challenge the whole, 281 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.759 the whole protection of fiber four plans. So, I mean, 282 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.399 I guess the only thing that I see positive from 283 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.840 the research that I was doing while looking for information 284 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.000 this article was an update on this and I saw 285 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.440 that last week it was announced that the lawsuit has 286 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:11.480 been paused because the original lawsuit was against the previous 287 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.359 Secretary of Health Time Human Services, who has now been 288 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.400 replaced with Ara of k Junior. So because of that, 289 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.680 they decided that they were gonna they were going to 290 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.160 continue to wait and see what happens. And one of 291 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.119 these states that was included in the lawsuit Iowa, their 292 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.440 attorney general, Brenda Bird. She said she came out with 293 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.880 a statement trying to reassure the public that despite the 294 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.559 world on the lawsuit, the target was, you know, only 295 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.200 the gender dysphoria rule and not the entire fible for 296 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.759 as a whole, and that she wouldn't make sure that 297 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.319 the Act didn't get dismantled in the process. She claims 298 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.640 that Biden and Harris forced transgender ideologists into schools at 299 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.079 the expense of kids with disabilities. 300 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.079 But Ken, we all know that's a fucking lie. We 301 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.079 are as a fucking but continue. 302 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.480 Yeah, but like, can we really trust that that what 303 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.759 she's saying, Like, is she gonna be able to protect 304 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.079 that because the loss of is already out there and 305 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.240 the warding is already out there. So if they get 306 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.960 a judge that decides that the warding, you know, is correct, 307 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.799 and that they want to throw away them, like you 308 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.400 said throw the baby with the bad water, then that 309 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:22.440 they will do that. It's not up to her now, 310 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.640 So like it's is frustrating. 311 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.799 As an aside, I'm sorry, I just got to say this, guys, 312 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.359 because like this is really something that really grinds my 313 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.240 gears that you know. I listened to a bunch of 314 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.359 different political pundits talk about why did the Democrats lose 315 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.640 in twenty four and a lot of them were citing 316 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:48.119 that Democrats overly talked about transgender issue, They overly you know, 317 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:54.039 show their support to transgender people, transgender rights, transgender sensibilities, 318 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.079 you know, and to the point where, you know, some 319 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.519 even went to the you know, to the stream to 320 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.680 say that everybody needs to go ahead and put in 321 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.599 their emails a signature line with their own pronoun and 322 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.960 that is such a fucking lie. I know that one 323 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.119 of the things that Kamala Harris did is not mentioned 324 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.480 her race, not mention her gender, and not mention where 325 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.720 she actually falls on the gender spectrum as far as 326 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.480 like her support. 327 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.680 Never did it, not. 328 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:27.359 One time, And even if you happened to look at 329 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.480 some of the other campaigns that were running at the 330 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:35.039 time with Democrats, a lot of them tried to escape 331 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.359 that issue as well, and even you know, run to 332 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.440 the point where they were trying to say that sports 333 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.720 should be separate and that you know, any biological man 334 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.119 should not be participating in women's sports. You know, you 335 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.799 actually had people who were running for federal positions that 336 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.559 called themselves democrat that actually said that. So this whole 337 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.519 lit that the right is espousing that. You know, you 338 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.440 know that the left is like, you know, completely did 339 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.960 you know, debase themselves and has rolled themselves up into 340 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.720 this ideology when it comes to gender. It's absolutely false, 341 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.599 and I wish it really stopped doing that. But you know, 342 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:20.480 we live in an area where misinformation leads to narrative, 343 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:24.000 and I think there's an old adage that says that 344 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:29.000 a lie travels the world ten times before the truth 345 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.160 can get up and put its pants on. Yeah, go ahead. 346 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.880 One one thing I wanted to say is that I 347 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.440 agree that I don't think that the left lost because 348 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.160 of their position on gender, but I do think that 349 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:50.119 the right was very successful in putting gender very much 350 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.240 in the forefront of people's minds. And you would think 351 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.519 that we were about to be invaded by transgender aliens 352 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.960 from outer space coming through Mexico the way they acted. 353 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.839 But the reality is is that it's such a negligible 354 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.640 amount they created. They fabricated an issue, just like they've 355 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.000 done time and time again. They've used the LGBTQ people 356 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.000 in the past, they use the Southern strategy, they use 357 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.400 African Americans with it. This isn't anything new. This is 358 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.640 the thing, but this won't last forever. And as far 359 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.839 as litigating why one side one and why one side loss, 360 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.599 it's important to understand those things. But I have to 361 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.200 say that in the future, I just don't think that 362 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.480 there are the legs under making this minute proportion who 363 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:42.359 need to be considered, not othered, but this minute proportion 364 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.759 of people that they're taking and trying to make it 365 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.000 act like everything in the world that happens falls on 366 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.680 the transgender as some of them would use the term. 367 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.039 Because I feel like I'm listening in animal farm to 368 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.440 blame the snowball for everything that happened bad in the 369 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:05.039 entire farm because it's snowball. It's snowball. That's absolutely as 370 00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.799 absurd as they are with this issue, and I'm really 371 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.000 hoping it where its thin. I'm not exactly sure how 372 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.720 But the first thing I say is is that I 373 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.480 don't want to fight them on their territory. I'm not 374 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:19.759 going to argue with them about that, because the issues 375 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:24.480 that really face the US is not just that issue. 376 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.160 It's that and others, And it starts with the way 377 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.680 we treat people. And if we learn to treat people 378 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.720 with respect, then whether you're trans, whether you're head noormative, 379 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.519 whether you're white, whether you're African American, whether you're Latino, 380 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.480 whatever you are, is not relevant. If we can get 381 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.519 people to understand that there's a level of human decency 382 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:46.240 that we need to return to and push back against 383 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:51.759 this other ring and making an insign statistically insignificant portion 384 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.400 of the population the boogeyman that everything is their fault. 385 00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.640 That's what we had to push back against. 386 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:04.359 Their platform always run on picking on minorities, starting with 387 00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.319 people of color way back when. Okay, that was like 388 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.640 always always speaking on minorities, And currently I guess their 389 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.680 obsession is with genitals at this point. 390 00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:17.079 So yeah, guess what it works in the world and 391 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.599 look at history. Yeah, and it works and until people 392 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:22.200 until the electric decide that not for it not to 393 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.200 work anymore, it's going to continue to work. 394 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.319 You know, guys, I had a whole, like written down, 395 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:34.880 noted assistant commentary to say at the end of the segment, 396 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.039 but I can't do it now because all of you 397 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.319 have got me thinking about one of my very favorite 398 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.480 movies in the entire world, School Day. I love that 399 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:47.960 damn movie. The music, the dance scene, that acting, all 400 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.920 of it was absolutely spectacular. But I think that one 401 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.279
