	Hey guys, Whistleblower here.
	Recently, Steven Crowder took a long hiatus from his show because of some bad complications from surgery.
	Apparently his lung collapsed or something.
	But don't feel too bad for him yet, because I'm here to tell you that everything went according to plan.
	Buckle up, because this one gets crazy.
	Steven Crowder is actually...
	Amy Schumer.
	I got into this rabbit hole after noticing Amy Schumer was taping her new TV series
	around the same time Crowder was going into surgery.
	This proves that Chowder is surgically augmenting himself every time he goes on vacation to live his second life as Amy Schumer.
	Think about it.
	They use their rivalries with each other to make themselves more famous, playing both sides so they always win.
	And I already know what you're thinking.
	What about the time they were both on Fox News?
	I'm already two steps ahead of you.
	It's a classic Hollywood split-frame trick.
	So now, the only question that remains is which came first?
	The Chowder?
	Or the Schumer?
	Or are they something different altogether?
	That's all for now.
	I'll see you guys in the next one.
	Whistleblower out.
	I'm not a whistleblower.
	I'm a whistleblower.
	That is the sound, I guess, of Monday, and it's the sound of... Do you ever forget to breathe?
	What?
	We were rushing and we were hustling to get ready for the show, and John Oliver, you know, who will be a wonderful trophy after today's show, and then you just realize you forget to breathe sometimes.
	Just breathe is always playing in my head.
	That's true.
	Faith Hill was right.
	So was Chris Carravo with Dashboard Confessional.
	Amen.
	Remember, she asked you.
	Remember to breathe.
	So, look, my first question to you is, will you start using Parler once Kanye buys it?
	That's what's happening today, but we had a whole segment ready to go on former Vice President Joe Biden being creepy with children, but more importantly, some things that people miss, but we'll move that to tomorrow because John Oliver is trending right now.
	And look, I say this without a hint of hyperbole, they're coming for your kids.
	There's a 26-minute segment making the case as to why it's a good thing for children to transition, for children to get on puberty blockers, and it's an attempt to gaslight you.
	We'll get it.
	We have so much to get into.
	It gets a little bit wonky, but all references are available at ladderwithcreditor.com.
	We want to leave no doubt as it relates to the empirical.
	Gerald, how are you?
	I am doing well.
	My Irish got beat this weekend.
	That's right, you went to Notre Dame.
	For it, unfortunately.
	Yeah, you spent all that time, and yet again you were embarrassed.
	I made memories with my parents mostly of me being angry, but I made them.
	Yes.
	Well, why don't you cry about it?
	He did.
	He called me and he did.
	I replenished after the stomach flu.
	I just sat and I had a mission of just eating.
	Ah!
	Yes.
	Well, that sounds more fun.
	No, there have been negative ramifications to that as well.
	I overshot it.
	I went to Luminati's Pizza in Chicago.
	Fantastic.
	Oh, really?
	So good.
	Yeah.
	I bet you he just, he didn't.
	He went to his family joint, Domino's.
	Domino's.
	I'll show you where the locals eat.
	You wouldn't know.
	It's the Pizza Hut.
	I've got an in.
	It's amazing.
	It's Little Cesare's.
	Yes, Little Cesare's.
	A nice place.
	Homemade.
	Just ask for the Gerald.
	He'll take care of it.
	Show you the bathroom.
	No, I ate too much because I was trying to replenish and it was like the Apollo 13 thing where I'm going like, oh my gosh, do I have to slingshot around the moon?
	Do I have to keep going in order to come back?
	And I overdid it.
	So, here we are.
	And you know him, you love him.
	Fastest man on his feet.
	Quickest foot in the West.
	Dave Landau.
	Ahoy!
	Did you have a better weekend than Gerald?
	I did.
	I was in, uh, Ohio.
	Oh!
	Yeah, that's where I was.
	A midwestern place.
	I forgot.
	It was good.
	It was great.
	A lot of fun fans.
	A lot of good people, and they love you.
	They love Gerald.
	That'll be fun.
	We'll now discuss the worst people among us here when we discuss not only John Oliver, but a few other things.
	The people who agreed with John Oliver were not at the show.
	No, I can't imagine.
	They were in the ward.
	So I don't know if you know this, but it's 2022.
	Because it's 2022, the year changes biology.
	So I don't even know, it's 2022.
	And you know, women, because it's 2022, the year changes biology.
	Women are not the only ones anymore who can get pregnant.
	Now if you think that a man getting pregnant is weird, if you think it's weird, you're
	a bigot.
	Can we skip to the good part?
	You've arrived at your destination.
	You've arrived at your destination.
	Well, I just want to die.
	I'm glad they blurred.
	You had to do the home birth to be extra weird about it?
	Yes.
	They do the dolphin birth where they go into the ocean like, the dolphins will give you everything and my son is gone.
	Steals your child, yes.
	Oh boy.
	Have you seen the home birth where they just do it standing and like squatting in their house and it's like, could you move?
	You're blocking the TV.
	Yes.
	I want to kill myself when I see how far we've gone, but I don't want to sully the good name of a sponsor.
	So can someone bring me something at some point?
	Any way in which to terminate myself that doesn't sully the name of a good sponsor.
	That is not a Walther.
	We'll find something.
	Anything else, because they're true blue, but I want to die.
	I feel bad for that child.
	Yes.
	Yes, you feel bad for that child.
	The child looks like a happy, normal, lovely child, but there is going to come a day where that is going to be a very different- Molested?
	Sorry.
	No.
	I'm just saying that that's just going to be a really weird, hard position to be in.
	I love that we blurred the nipples, though.
	I know.
	I did too.
	I was like, oh, thank goodness.
	I didn't want to see that.
	And I'm going to be honest with you.
	It's because we don't really know the rules on that.
	You have no idea.
	It's like, what do we blur?
	Let's just blur the nipples.
	All of it.
	But Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples.
	Name that movie line.
	Oh man, I hate how I can't play.
	I know, I know.
	You'll always win.
	People will name it below.
	This is what we were going to talk about today because it was happening this weekend.
	But you've seen this clip.
	We've moved it to tomorrow because there's something pretty thorough I want to address.
	But here's the clip for those who don't know.
	creepy pedo former Vice President Joe Biden being what he be.
	No serious guys until you're 30.
	So everyone's talking about how creepy it is and of course if you're a father who would let someone treat your daughter that way, you probably are, I mean just, you should give up your child to me.
	I would rather you give them to the male, the Z. I was gonna say, can we go back to that palate cleanser?
	There's something there that is far more severe and I think far more impactful than just him lightly groping her.
	Comment below if you see what it is, because we're going to address it tomorrow.
	I think people are missing the macro picture there, which it's for the girls.
	It's this one's for the girls.
	Tomorrow's show is for the girls.
	There we go.
	Some of the some of the I'll just say, OK, it's the advice.
	Spoiler alert.
	I don't know how to, there's only one phrase, so you guys know what the phrase is.
	I thought you were going to be like the Secret Service guy going, hey, make sure that guy doesn't record it anymore.
	Oh gosh, Joe's going off script.
	He's talking about girls again.
	That's always a good sign if the Secret Service has it on their bullet point checklist to make sure no one's filming if he gets around a young girl.
	Get the camera.
	It's like for, you know, President Trump, they'd be like, let's keep him off of Twitter because you get with Joe Biden, like keep him away from children.
	Well, yeah.
	They're not even going for the grope.
	They're going for the phone.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Trump had a burner phone for Twitter.
	Yeah, exactly.
	To be using in the bathroom.
	You'll never find my cricket!
	I have Boost.
	That Travis Barker really makes a good case.
	Now.
	Is Boost still a thing?
	Amped and Boost?
	I have no idea.
	I don't even know where you'd get that.
	It used to be at the kiosk at the mall.
	Is that where it was?
	Yeah.
	They'd be like, you get all the same benefits, except for speed, except for texting, except for calls.
	I always keep my head down and pretend I'm deaf because they try to talk to you.
	Yes.
	They're like, no, no, no, no, you're not a person.
	Yeah, exactly.
	When you walk through the mall and they go, hey, why aren't you talking back to us?
	Because this isn't a street vendor in Iran, okay?
	This is not okay.
	Trying to go to Yankee Candle Store.
	I don't want to have a carnival barker.
	I'm already having a bad day.
	With hermit crabs and spider Marvel painted shells.
	Yeah.
	You seen those?
	The hermit crab exhibit where they have all the different painted shells?
	No.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it's great.
	You actually stopped and went, like, oh, this is cool.
	Oh, I've owned a few hermit crabs.
	Do you have She-Hulk?
	What's better than bedazzled phone cases?
	Where it's like, let me see what kind of phone you have.
	It's like, no, no, bad touch.
	No.
	That's the guy filming Joe Biden with the grill.
	You should hear the crunching of the rhinestones.
	Falling off.
	Let's see if we can waste more of your money here.
	Buy this one.
	Okay, so this one is in Gerald's wheelhouse.
	Again, before we get to John Oliver, it's going to be a pretty long rebuttal here today because I just wanted to focus.
	I was fired up this morning.
	A little bit.
	This is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
	The coach, Todd Bowles, set it up for me.
	So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Todd Bowles, he's black.
	So he's a black head coach in the league, which there's not a whole lot of those, and he's being asked some questions by reporters after playing against another black head coach, Tomlin, in Pittsburgh.
	Yes, and then he gets whitesplained by a female reporter.
	Have you seen this?
	I've never seen anything more patronizing.
	You're going to have to watch some of this through your fingers, but just keep in mind, this is what the left believes, and occasionally it slips.
	Here it is.
	I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.
	I wonder what your relationship is like with them and your thoughts on Steve Wilkes joining that fold.
	I have a very good relationship with Tomlin.
	We don't look at what color we are when we coast against each other.
	We just know each other.
	I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well.
	And I don't think it's a big deal as far as us being coaching against each other.
	I think it's normal.
	Hopefully he does it.
	And we coach ball.
	We don't look at color.
	Your merit doesn't mean anything.
	Well when you say you see you guys and look like them and grew up like them means that we're eyeballs to begin with and I think the minute you guys start stop making a big deal about it everybody else will as well.
	Let me translate.
	What she should have said was she was talking about whitesplaining.
	She's going, you do realize that representation matters.
	Like, as a black, they hired you because you're a black.
	She's like, let me try and put this in ways you can maybe you can understand.
	You know, man, you were high because you're black, right?
	Because the coach ain't not enough.
	Coach is representation.
	Do you agree?
	And his, what he really wanted to say was, BITCH!
	He started rubbing his brow into your monologue.
	He's like, really?
	You do know that representation, right?
	Well, thanks for letting me know, white bitch.
	I appreciate it.
	You're gonna be really happy to find out that a lot of the players are black.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Well, that's what they say.
	They're like, oh, the ownership's just keeping black coaches out because they don't like black people.
	I'm like, have you looked at the roster?
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of people on that roster that are not white, and that's perfectly fine with them.
	Yeah, so you think that Larry Bird called the Bill Ampere?
	That's it.
	Yeah.
	He used to talk mad trash.
	And black guys loved it.
	They were like, oh, he was hard to guard just because he would talk all this trash.
	Oh, so did Bill Lambeer.
	Yeah, part of the bad boys.
	You just talk about how rich his dad was and pissed people off.
	Can we acknowledge genetics as it relates to, you know, as it relates racially when it comes to athleticism?
	The better.
	Black people tend to be very good at a lot of these sports.
	It's a meritocracy.
	Dominicans seem to be way better at baseball than anybody.
	Yeah, well that's often because their dad places them in a closet and beats them for weeks on end.
	Hey, whatever works.
	You mean the Tiger Woods strategy?
	You do understand that representation matters.
	And this is going to bring us into the John Oliver thing.
	It is largely white women, unfortunately.
	White women who are pushing this crap.
	What happened to take a backseat and listen to black women?
	Because as it relates to trans issues, as it relates to sports issues, guess what?
	They don't share the same opinion as a lot of white women.
	That is everything that is wrong with America, is what she just said.
	Yeah.
	He represents, he's one of three black head coaches in the league right now, or there's two at least.
	And I think she had mentioned somebody else joining the fold.
	I think he got another head coaching job.
	Three.
	And you just told the guy who should care about this the most what he should think about it.
	Right.
	He told you, like, I kind of feel like you guys are making a big deal out of something that we don't really think a whole lot about.
	And you're like, oh, no, no, no.
	You're not in any position to understand what this means.
	I'm the black head coach in the NFL.
	I'm the only person in the room that can understand what it means to be here and you're telling me I don't?
	Yeah.
	I've met black head coaches and I like the NFL and I didn't even know that statistic until just now when she brought it up.
	Right.
	Well, here's the thing.
	I never thought about it.
	We have a new Harvard-Harris poll that shows that only 6% of Americans said that race relations were a priority issue.
	And it's usually a priority issue with suburban white women.
	They make up 5.9% of the 6%.
	Yes.
	I don't know how you get out of this.
	If it's, you know, hey, if you're colorblind, it's racist.
	And so everything has to be about race.
	What I hated about that clip, though, she's talking down to him.
	Yeah.
	The tone in her voice, just, you do realize that this matters.
	It's like, no, I don't.
	I make a lot of money because I worked really hard to be here.
	You do realize that racial representation is like, Oh, hold on.
	Can you repeat that?
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry, master.
	I didn't quite understand.
	Oh, that was all right, man.
	Oh, yes, sir.
	No, sir.
	Yeah.
	She's like, you know... He just starts soft shooing.
	Yeah.
	Like, is this better for you, bitch?
	Is this better for you?
	You want me to start reciting lines from the hip?
	Oh, whoa.
	I would just love for a guy to do that, because you know that's what he's thinking.
	Oh, of course!
	Well, I just love that he holds his head, which is the best nephew.
	He's like, oh.
	He's like, I just said it.
	Yes.
	I just answered his question.
	And let me just point out, he did it very calmly, but he's like, and you said, you guys and those people and grew up like them.
	Uh, did you hear yourself say that?
	If I was any other person, I'd be like, what, you guys, and how did I?
	I grew up in Bel-Air!
	What are you talking about, lady?
	Did he?
	No.
	I have no idea.
	No, but who knows?
	I mean, she's guessing, I bet.
	Because he's black, he grew up poor in rural Alabama?
	Like, I don't know.
	How do you know?
	Right.
	Like, come on.
	Alright.
	Okay, let's move on to here, John Oliver.
	Okay, so a couple things that I want to touch on here.
	There's going to be an underlying theme here that you'll see recurring.
	Namely, that when we're talking about the transgender issue, and particularly as it relates to children, they told you that it was a slippery slope logical fallacy.
	Ironically, because there are many logical fallacies presented here today from John Oliver, when we said they're going to be targeting children.
	Here it is.
	They are.
	There's no doubt about that.
	And they're trying to gaslight you.
	So the two themes I want you to see here and keep in mind is gaslighting.
	You're crazy.
	Why do you care so much about this issue that affects such a small percent of the population as they try to push legislation that would affect every member of the population?
	And the idea of the empirical versus the anecdotal.
	This is really important because we just came out of the era of trust.
	The science.
	But here they ignore all of science.
	Instead, they decide to give the right of way to the anecdotal.
	I encourage you to go and watch the entire video.
	It's available on YouTube.
	Gets a lot of heavy promotional dollars when John Oliver does these things.
	It gets pushed everywhere.
	If you search Stephen Crowder rebuttal John Oliver, you'll see John Oliver segments and you won't see ours.
	So I want you to keep in mind empirical versus anecdotal and the idea of gaslighting
	because we are dealing with narcissists.
	We are dealing with people who believe that whatever makes them feel good, and largely that's praise of their constituents, must be right.
	Makes me feel good, it's about how I feel, and they falsely equate that with happiness.
	And narcissists seek control, and narcissists seek to make you think that you are crazy.
	So that way, all of their behavior is permissible and no one actually calls them to the mat.
	So, let's keep that in mind with John Oliver as we go through this point by point.
	Sunday, October 17th, he released another segment.
	This is a second segment on what he presents as transgender rights.
	And by the way, they say transgender rights are human rights.
	Let me make sure, just so you know where I'm coming from here.
	As it relates to children, specifically, transgender rights, what they present, are not human rights.
	They're atrocities that are being committed.
	These are sacrifices of children at the altar of narcissism.
	Okay.
	Now, if you disagree, feel free to comment on any of the claims that we rebut below.
	So let's go through it claim by claim.
	Here is one that he makes as we lead it off where he tries to tell you that why do so many people care about an issue that affects so few people?
	Even 12 states have signed into law anti-trans bills.
	Doesn't tell you what the bills are.
	So here's a claim that he makes right now about anti-trans bills to try and set it up as though you're an extremist.
	Let's go.
	It is clearly more than just bad jokes.
	This year alone, over 100 anti-trans bills have been introduced in state houses, and 12 states have signed or enacted them, with all of this happening against a backdrop of violence and threats, including attacks and harassment aimed at hospitals providing gender-affirming care to youth.
	Okay, so that's the claim.
	Let's get to the truth here.
	Again, the empirical.
	He just says 12 states.
	Do we know, does John Oliver make his sources publicly available?
	Can you go to HBO and see?
	Probably not.
	Okay.
	Not that app.
	No.
	I mean, how many salon and slate links do you need?
	So, let's look at some of these so-called anti-trans bills.
	All of our references are available.
	Link in the description.
	Arkansas.
	They passed the Save the Adolescents from Experimentation Act.
	Okay?
	SAFE, for short.
	Let me read it to you.
	The new law bans the use of puberty-blocking drugs on minors and also prohibits surgical interventions, including breast reductions.
	Now, most of you would say, including if you're a Democrat, that sounds reasonable.
	And of course, why would this even need to be presented?
	Because as a baseline, we would all agree that you shouldn't have surgical procedures being conducted as an experiment on children who don't have the ability to consent to even sex, let alone decisions that affect their sexual life for all.
	All of eternity!
	I don't know, in the afterlife.
	It may come back.
	It may.
	I have no idea.
	It grows back.
	A little joke.
	But here's the thing.
	The reason they had to present that bill is because of the kinds of pushes that you see from John Oliver.
	Case in point, Rhino governor there.
	The Rhino governor, what's his name?
	Hutchinson.
	Hutchinson attempted to veto this bill.
	But the veto was overridden and passed into law, which proves the necessity of the bill in the first place.
	The reason they need to create a bill, that he says is an anti-trans bill, which specifically bans the use of puberty-blocking drugs on minors and surgical interventions.
	That's the anti-trans bill.
	Remember when we went from Target won't let them take a shit in the bathroom they want, and it's just like the pre-civil rights era?
	Now it's you can't give puberty blockers or cut off a penis of A six, seven, fifteen year old, it's an anti-trans bill and the governor tried to veto it, which shows you the reason for the bill in the first place.
	Let's go to Oklahoma.
	Governor Stitt signed the Save Women's Sports Act.
	Athletic teams designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex.
	A bill for that?
	Because it was happening.
	Yeah.
	It's been happening across the country.
	Virginia, you see their new education policy says that students shall use bathrooms that correspond to his or her sex, except to the extent that federal law requires otherwise.
	You can go look at all these bills that he presents as just anti-trans bills.
	Again, the attempt there is to gaslight you, going, well, I'm not anti-trans, because you're not a bi- I don't hate- hold on a second, I wouldn't support those bills, because you probably believe that it's banning trans people from public forums.
	These are very specific bills that were required precisely because of the kind of push that John Oliver makes.
	By the way, it's a live show here Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern.
	No idea how long we'll be on YouTube, especially this.
	This is the third rail, so tune in, hit the button there.
	Nothing will make me more happy than all of you going over to Rumble.
	Or Mug Club.
	And one of the things, look at every one of the common thread through each one of those things,
	playing sports, school restrooms, right? These are people who are kids, right? We're not talking
	about adults here doing this stuff in their 30s or 40s or 50s and making this kind of a decision
	in their life. We're talking about a 10 year old coming to their parents and saying, I identify
	this way and wanting to use a different bathroom and wanting to play on a different sports team.
	These are kids that they're experimenting with, and they're actively saying that this is a good, healthy, productive thing.
	Actively promoting it and trying to shut down any debate before it happens.
	So here's a case in point, the next claim.
	He goes on to accuse conservatives of demagoguing and sort of appealing to emotion.
	And then John Oliver immediately uses, and I mean uses, exploits a child to appeal to your emotion in the absence of the empirical.
	But let's also remember that it's not actually the left talking about trans rights non-stop.
	It's Republicans who see an advantage in demagoguing this issue.
	And to ignore them doing that is to allow them to have real calamitous impacts on people's lives.
	A few years ago, Vice profiled a girl named Kai Shapley.
	And just watch how happy she is talking about her hopes for a future until she remembers something that changes her mind.
	And this has not been scripted or this girl coached?
	Yeah?
	Mm-hmm.
	What would you change about the world if you were president?
	Um, a chance people be free and go to the bathroom they want to go to.
	Are you able to use the girls bathroom at school?
	No.
	And now they just put security guards up for the bathroom security or whatever.
	Oh, I see.
	That is brutal.
	It is so dark, it's genuinely hard to watch.
	Let me change one thing here before we get to the truth.
	Well, I do agree with that part.
	Yes, yes, it is very, yes.
	Uh, let me change one thing before we get to the truth here is, uh, ask that child...
	about anything else regarding policy if they were president.
	And would you take it seriously?
	Of course not!
	But you're supposed to take it seriously when this, I believe, boy who's transitioned to a girl at that age says, I would make it so that we could use any bathroom we want.
	And John Oliver takes it as legitimate.
	If you ask them about foreign policy, if you ask them about immigration policy, I don't know anything.
	They're a kid.
	Kids are stupid.
	When it comes to permanent life-altering decisions, Yeah, absolutely.
	Why?
	Why would you care what they... They don't know.
	Do you think all pizza should be free on Tuesdays?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I have to agree.
	Well, there you have it.
	We have to have Little Caesar's Day every day.
	Do you like going to bed on time?
	I hate that.
	Oh, look how she changed.
	We're going to do away with national curfews, you idiot, first!
	Yep.
	All the ice cream you can have on Saturday.
	Yep.
	And it's free.
	I love, by the way, I love that he went to her first.
	Because we'll come back to her later on when she's 11 years old, speaking.
	So she's 10, 9 potentially there.
	That's what you want, John.
	A 9 year old making these decisions.
	Or a 10 year old making these decisions.
	And by the way, when you said, look how happy she is.
	I don't know that anybody in the room that saw that would go bubbly, happy, playful, more like incredibly awkward.
	It's not like the Oscar Mayer kid in the duck.
	No.
	Because he lost it.
	You're just trying to set it up like she's happy, then she becomes sad, and it's like, that's not what we just saw.
	No, that's not what we just saw.
	That's not what we just saw.
	Really a security guard, like if she's walking into the girl's bathroom, he's like, hey, hey, stop.
	Deadnaming her.
	Throwing her against the wall.
	Right.
	That's what they would, exactly.
	So here's the truth, by the way, too.
	The empirical.
	Here are some of the statistics on child outcomes.
	For decades, there have been follow-up studies of transgender children.
	They've shown that a substantial majority, anywhere from 65% on the low end to 94%, eventually completely cease to identify as transgender.
	Wow.
	Okay, and if you don't intervene, they all grow out of it.
	If you do intervene, that number goes down to, some studies show as low as 0%.
	And by the way, the child conversion rate has increased by over 4,000% in the last decade, especially among young girls.
	I get it, correlation doesn't equal causation, but we'll get to that in a second.
	That's also a lot faster than the adult transition rate, just to be clear.
	And saying a lot faster is a very mild way of putting it.
	It is almost all happening with kids.
	Yes.
	Four thousand's a lot.
	Yeah, four thousand percent increase.
	Well, they want you to believe it's because now they're more free because before they were being oppressed worse than American slaves because they couldn't take a dump at the gender-neutral bathroom in Walmart.
	So this is what caused the major depression for the kids, and what will fix it is injecting them with estrogen.
	So let's go on to the next claim that John Oliver makes.
	And again, these are so pernicious.
	It's just, it is, I would say it's evil when you are saying that children should be making these decisions and you are trying to strip the rights of parents who believe, not who believe, who understand the science that it's not good for children to fundamentally alter their hormones or make permanent decisions regarding their sexual capabilities.
	So here's another claim that he makes that conservatives have nothing else to worry about.
	That you're crazy because you're just making a mountain out of a molehill with the whole trans-athlete thing.
	Eighteen states have passed laws aimed at protecting youth sports.
	And South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem even made her state's bill a centerpiece of a campaign ad.
	Now, Governor Noem has a bill that will give South Dakota the strongest law in the nation protecting female sports.
	If you time-traveled here from the past, and the first thing you saw was this ad, you would think two things.
	One, wow, the campaign centers around youth sports.
	I guess literally every other problem in America has been solved.
	And two, she is not pulling off that cowboy hat.
	Yeah, also, if you were an alien biologist who came here to Earth, you'd be like, oh, we are not able to understand how they reproduce with between the male and... And they would just short-circuit.
	Yes.
	So here's the truth.
	I kind of like the cowboy hat.
	I like the cowboy hat as well.
	Yeah, I'm gonna be honest.
	It makes me very comfortable.
	It played.
	The truth is this is what we call a reverse nirvana fallacy, okay?
	It's an intellect.
	Let's bring up the logical fallacy alert.
	A lot of these are used, with a bit of ad hominem thrown in.
	So let me read to you the reverse nirvana fallacy.
	It's comparing a realistic solution with an idealized one and discounting or even dismissing the realistic solution as a result of comparing it to a perfect world or impossible standard.
	So in this case, we also have basically, well, since it hasn't become a huge problem yet, why would you do anything about it?
	Well, first off, that's not exactly true.
	It's a much bigger problem than John Oliver lets on.
	Second, it hasn't necessarily been a problem yet because the radical progression, the radical anti-science progression, stripping parents of their rights, hadn't been enacted by assholes like you yet.
	Doesn't mean that it can't happen, and the solution is not to do nothing about it.
	Let me give you some examples here.
	Connecticut.
	This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.
	There were two trans athletes who actually ended up winning the race in Connecticut.
	Can you remember that?
	I think it's Overlay A6.
	There was a 100-meter and a 200-meter.
	These were records in the event.
	Overlay A6, they're a token out.
	Yeah, just give me a minute.
	Okay.
	And all these references will be available at ladderwithcrowder.com because I have to kind of go along pretty quickly.
	So you have that.
	Yeah, remember the true transgender athletes breaking the finish line?
	Let's find that picture, guys.
	The two trans athletes breaking the finish line in Connecticut, and then one girl trailing far behind.
	Then, of course, you have Hugh Penn.
	Leah Thomas was nominated as the NCAA Woman of the Year after winning the 550-meter freestyle.
	This affected other women.
	Of course, their scholarships, their ability to get a spot on college rosters, or their ability to qualify for world championships.
	You have Fallon Fox, who broke an opponent's skull.
	Orbital Bone lived her life as a man until her 30s, and I believe fathered children.
	Oh, wow.
	Then you have cycling.
	You have Rachel McKinnon set a world record in track cycling.
	I'm not laughing at anything.
	I'm just laughing at the situation of breaking someone's... I'm laughing at the absurdity of Fallon Fox who lived as a man until 30-something years old breaking a woman's face.
	Yes.
	And this is the one time you care about cycling in the history of the world.
	Yes.
	And now, so these were all these examples, and there are other examples internationally,
	New Zealand, Olympic, weightlifting, there are many, many, many examples.
	Now it doesn't affect largely white women, so white women don't really care about it,
	because many white women don't compete in sports.
	You don't see the same opinions, by the way, with most women, minority women.
	I don't know what happened to listening to them.
	It's white women exclusively, not you if you're listening, you're perfect, who have largely
	spearheaded this under the guise of wanting to be compassionate.
	It comes from a good place.
	It's got to stop.
	So we have these examples that have happened.
	He's leading by so much.
	Can we see that?
	Pull it up.
	Pull up this picture.
	That's half a mile down.
	They didn't even want the ones to be blurry in the photo.
	They couldn't get one without it.
	The only way it could be more severe is if, like, you just had a picture of Usain Bolt and, like, the Greek national team.
	So, these are the examples that have happened.
	And then, of course, you have a previous piece by John Oliver, The Media.
	Sounds like former Vice President Joe Biden.
	It's not a joke.
	Give me a kid.
	I need to replenish.
	Right as rain.
	Got your soul.
	Yes.
	Like a podling.
	There were so many examples, and there was such an aggressive push, that now in the Olympics, by the way, you just have to prove that you've been on hormone blockers for one year, and there isn't even a testosterone cap.
	Not an official one.
	It'll be delegated to the sports.
	So remember, it started with, well, if you're legitimate transsexual, we used to have transvestites and transsexuals.
	Transvestites were people who dressed like women.
	Transsexuals were people who went through the operation.
	Now we've added transgenders, where you can compete in the Olympics without a testosterone cap, without ever having actually gone through the transition, and beat the hell out of women.
	That's the new policy of the Olympics.
	Hit the like button if you think that's bullshit!
	By the way, this and the homosexual marriage, the gay marriage bill, everything else, when there's an easy, obvious solution to the problem and you choose to make it as painful as possible and as illogical as possible, you know you're just pushing an agenda.
	That's all that's going on here.
	If you wanted to compete, if men, people who were born men, I'm sorry, women, who transitioned into men wanted to compete, they could do that.
	Men, more importantly, that transition into women and compete in women's sports, you can make a division for them.
	Go and compete and be the very best in that category.
	Why are we trying to make it difficult?
	How do you feel about performance enhancing drugs in sports?
	Because the advantage that a man on steroids would have over another man is infinitesimal compared to what the advantage that a male hormonal profile would carry against any woman.
	It's not even close.
	The walking human pin cushions from Russia are not even close to what a man enjoys as far as an advantage over female athletes.
	You know it.
	We know it.
	Let's stop lying as though we don't all know it.
	Yeah, well, exactly.
	Russia actually disbanded their entire program of steroids and just transitioned all their male athletes to women who win all the gold medals.
	Oh, nice.
	It's easier this way and it's fair.
	We have Yanko Emelianenko.
	Oh, that is not correct.
	I am now Cindy.
	Alright.
	Just full beard.
	Somebody should do this, I swear.
	A country, an enterprising country, looking for some gold medals.
	They are, it's called the United States of America.
	Well, that's true.
	That's true.
	They should just do it and be like, alright, we own all records now.
	I would say I am for performance enhancing drugs in sports, though.
	It really made baseball a lot more fun.
	In non-contact sports.
	How about this?
	You have a clean male... You have a clean male division, a clean female division, and then you have an all other gender, any performance enhancing drugs, let the games begin.
	I love it!
	Could you imagine golf?
	Just the rage?
	They're wearing a golf skirt, they have to blur six inches beneath it.
	And he lines up for the putt.
	And, oh, gets tangled in his cock there.
	That's tough when that happens.
	She's taking home the trophy.
	It's a set of balls.
	Yes.
	Of course, we know that our athletes are allowed one piece of athletic tape.
	Yes.
	As to not constitute an advantage.
	And this was used on the left side of his upper thigh.
	Not quite enough.
	Should have gone with the right side.
	Not a bit of sweat has held to the second hole.
	And here's how we know we're dealing with narcissists in the gaslighting, okay?
	What they try and do is accuse you of doing exactly what they are doing.
	And I do mean this as a progressive.
	It's a movement of narcissism.
	It's all about what makes you feel good.
	And then that's misconstrued as happiness.
	And you'll see them do that later.
	They want to accuse you of doing what it is that they're doing.
	So right here, John Oliver, here's another claim.
	He takes issue with Republicans renaming things to make them sound like exactly what they are.
	Branding the discussion of trans issues under the umbrella of radical gender theory.
	And he tweeted out that conservatives should start using the phrase trans-stripper in lieu of drag queen.
	It has a more lurid set of connotations and shifts the debate to sexualization.
	And sure, anything can have a more lurid and sexual set of connotations if you just rename it.
	Okay, so a couple things.
	Here's the truth.
	Again, they're gaslighting you by changing language.
	This is what they do.
	They say, you want to change language!
	Like mostly peaceful protests.
	Like, no evidence of widespread things that we can't discuss, but you said was the greatest issue facing our national security pre-2016 election?
	You changed the language, and by the way, at this case, I don't have a problem with Drag Queen because it's hyper-sexualized anyway, but what if they are transgender and a stripper?
	It's more descriptive.
	Well, I think they're trying to hide behind Drag Queen and say, you know, this is somebody in a dress who's just dressed as a woman, right, who happens to be born a male, right?
	That's not what's happening.
	When we saw all of these Drag Queen stuff, it was people with lingerie type stuff on, it was people with really short skirts, it was people with their butt hanging out, like we saw the one in church where they were doing this in church and the girl comes walking down the aisle, I use that term loosely, and you can see, you wouldn't have a normal Born this way woman dressed like that in church and feel like the seat wasn't getting hot.
	Right.
	And you're right, they could be a stripper.
	They're probably not literally a queen.
	Right.
	That's a good example.
	Although actually you can technically buy, I think you can buy a small piece of Land in Scotland.
	And you're a lord.
	Is that true?
	Really?
	I know it because I'm a lord.
	Oh!
	Can you show me where?
	I got it as a gift.
	I own one square foot of land in Scotland.
	So I am a lord!
	But I don't believe that those drag trans strippers are queens.
	Now that's one thing I will say.
	I cannot fully substantiate it.
	Not on your land?
	No.
	Well certainly not.
	They're not allowed.
	No.
	I believe in property rights.
	So!
	Let's move on to another claim.
	There's so much to get to here today.
	And by the way, share if you can.
	That's what helps with these algorithms on YouTube, and they do not want you to see this.
	The John Oliver video will be thrust into every single person's timeline, whether you want it or not.
	And of course, it's not even age-restricted because that's the goal.
	So another claim that he makes is, and what they try and do is take one example and say, this is your entire argument.
	So John Oliver goes on to cite one, and from what I understand, albeit flawed study, about the role of peer pressure increasing the rates of, you know, sort of childhood transitioning, but tries to make it seem as though that's the only study, or the only empirical evidence that we have, even though it's not true, but this is how he presents it.
	The rise in kids identifying as trans is due to social contagion, that it's just a mass delusion, a trendy fad that is rapidly spreading among young people.
	Shreyas sometimes dresses her argument up by using the term rapid-onset gender dysphoria, which is total horseshit.
	It comes from a study published by a researcher in 2018, hypothesizing that some kids identify as trans due to peer pressure.
	But it's worth you knowing, that study was based on a survey of parents, not actual trans kids, and it targeted parents from organizations dedicated to opposing trans ideology, which is instantly disqualifying!
	Okay, so before I move on to the truth of addressing that, again, they're accusing you of what they do, saying, which is total bullshit, the description of rapid-onset gender dysphoria.
	How could you change?
	How could you add to gender dysphoria?
	Well, hold on a second.
	What happened from the DSM-IV to the DSM-V?
	Gender dysphoria was classified as a disorder in which someone believes that they are born to the wrong sex, wrong gender.
	Then they changed it because of political pressure to say gender dysphoria is actually a description of the symptoms of somebody who was born the wrong gender.
	So we just changed the definition of gender dysphoria, medically speaking, with no new empirical data to justify it.
	And this is a problem with many people who work in the community of psychology and psychiatry, not to mention people who actually work in endocrinology.
	But, of course, trust the science.
	By that, I mean Fauci throwing out the opening pitch.
	Here's the truth.
	It's not just one study.
	that exists as far as this new phenomenon of children transitioning at record rates,
	you've seen a dramatic increase in surgery. The sex reassignment market in the United States right
	now is valued at $1.9 billion. In the United States alone, it's expected to grow about 11.23%
	From 2019 to 2020, a 15% increase in chest surgeries for trans males.
	By the way, that outpaces almost, and I say almost just because I'm not entirely sure, I haven't had time this morning, I'm willing to bet all other elective cosmetic surgeries.
	Yeah.
	I know we don't love this guy all the time, but sometimes he makes a point that we actually go, oh, that's lucid.
	Thank you.
	Bill Maher.
	No, not you, Dave.
	Bill Maher.
	You're actually funny.
	Bill Maher is not at all, not even remotely.
	And he even came out back in May when I think the New York Times released some study information on this that says transgender stuff is just blowing up, especially amongst the youth.
	and not so much among older people. He said, yeah, I understand that maybe people are a little bit
	more free to talk about it and there's some freedom there that's contributing to that number. He goes,
	but why is it so much so in California versus Ohio? Like it's this trendy fad.
	Yeah, it's a dramatic difference in the locale.
	Geography matters a whole lot. I know we'll talk about that in a second,
	but when Bill Maher is at the point where he's like, hold on guys.
	Yeah.
	What are we doing here?
	Like, you really need to stop and take a look at your argument, because John Oliver, all he did was say, it's only because of freedom.
	It's only because they can now do this stuff and not be... And the only example pointing out this might be a problem is this one flawed study.
	No, it's not only study after study after study after study, which will get into mental
	health issues, will get into the likelihood of, not only likelihood, the verifiable, not
	only mental health, but physical health, health as it relates to cancer issues.
	These are all documented, not to mention the statistics on children who transition if there
	is no intervention versus if there is.
	All of that is documented.
	We're also talking about the economic data that we have in relation to surgeries being
	We're talking about the data that we have, whether it's the Census Bureau or local state sort of polling institutions, how different it is regarding geography, regarding the politics of the parents.
	Now, you can say that, ha, instead of chicken or the egg, correlation doesn't equal causation, and maybe that's because those kids are more free because they were actually transphobic.
	Sure, sure, we can have that nature and nurture conversation, but only if you acknowledge that there's a dramatic difference.
	He doesn't want to.
	Because he doesn't want you to do the digging.
	Please dig.
	Through the references that I provide.
	Please go watch this whole video.
	I beg you.
	Please do the research.
	All of it that you can.
	This is about the soul of the country.
	It's about parents having the right to make medical decisions for their children, which by the way is one of the bedrocks.
	It is the bedrock of parental rights.
	That's one of the biggest issues that happens in divorce court is who gets to make medical decisions.
	It's parents.
	Kids are never left to make their own medical decisions, let alone one this severe.
	Let's go on to another claim.
	I don't, I don't think cosmetic medical decisions in a lot of ways, which I know that they argue this wouldn't be, but I mean, you're looking at something where it's not like you were saying how it's, you know, because of freedom, it's not legalized weed.
	It's permanent mutilation in a lot of cases, because if you change your mind on it, that's what it is to you.
	It's your permanent destruction of your body.
	He goes on to say, well that's not really the case, it's mostly reversible, except sometimes there is serenity but it's a very small chance and children have the right to make that decision.
	Yes, because they make informed decisions.
	Because when you're 7 years old, you really understand the full scope of a barren womb when you're 28.
	You haven't even had a period.
	Right.
	Or understood an erection, and you're gonna tell me how- that's disgusting.
	I understood everything that I needed to.
	You had that tutor.
	It was the She-Hulk cards.
	Fork you, man.
	Nuts, it's just- it's so odd.
	I mean, even as a teenager, there's a reason why you can't drink until you're 21 because you're irresponsible.
	You can't rent a car until you're 25 because all the synapses haven't finished yet.
	Like, why can't I get a... What, you're saying I can't get a car until I'm 25?
	Yeah, because the insurance rates are like nine times higher.
	Oh, is that because I used to be a she?
	Okay, you know what?
	You're part of the Hertz Gold program.
	Just get out of here.
	Yeah, we might as well just start letting big wheels on the freeway.
	What's the difference?
	I'm gonna take my business down to Enterprise!
	So here's another claim that he makes, uh, that, uh, you know, people merely exploring their gender identity as though that's all it is.
	Why is that a bad thing, you hateful bigot?
	And to the extent that some young people are just exploring their gender identity, how exactly is that a bad thing?
	Who the f*** are they hurting?
	Themselves?
	Yep.
	So let's go through this, uh, point by point, statistically, here's the truth.
	Attempted suicide rate for transgender individuals is, uh, somewhere around 40%.
	Okay, and by the way, doesn't get much better pre or post-op.
	It's always between about 40 to 42% based on the data that we have.
	So the idea that this transition would help or fix it, well, the data doesn't show us that.
	Who are they hurting?
	Well, there's an answer for you.
	It's good if you see a therapist and he just flips a coin.
	Yes, exactly.
	I shouldn't have gone to Therapist Two-Face.
	Well, it looks like you're going to be prepay.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Just so you know, this is not covered by insurance.
	Yeah, we're not billing you.
	Should I come every Tuesday?
	Oh, I doubt it.
	Let's wait until Monday and just schedule for the next day.
	So, okay, so we have this dramatically high attempted suicide rate.
	Now, you might say, well, hold on a second, pre and post-op, the reason it's the same is because of how mistreated they are.
	For that to hold water, and there might be something there, of course, that transgender people feel ostracized, I'm not saying that they don't, you would have to compare it against the control.
	Are there other groups that are minorities that have been marginalized?
	And have their suicide rates been comparable?
	Well, gays, it's 7 to 20%.
	Blacks during slavery, it's about 7.2% according to surgeon logs.
	Jews in concentration camps?
	About 25%.
	So, you have to ask yourself, is a suicide rate pre- and post-op likely due to societal ostracization?
	Or, hold on a second, maybe not because I don't believe that current transgender students in California have it worse than Jews and Auschwitz or American slaves.
	We have control after control after control of people who experience the worst conditions beyond not being able to leave a little curly three-ring circus at the Target bathroom.
	Wow.
	That was a curly Q?
	We were just talking about that.
	Yeah, we were.
	Mm-hmm.
	Above water?
	That was a putting T. Above sea level.
	You don't use the T to putt, but I understand.
	I appreciate the efforts.
	Uh, and yeah, post-op transgenders still also, to give you scope, 19 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.
	Post-op transgenders, 19 times more likely, all the references.
	Post-op.
	Post-op.
	Got everything you want, 19 times more likely.
	Got everything you want, you look like a woman, you have all the same rights, you can compete wherever you want to compete, you're on puberty blockers, you've gotten the estrogen that you want, you've got the whatever hormones that you want, with your woman-to-man testosterone, and the suicide rate is still a multiple of Jews in concentration camps, American slaves, And gays, lesbians, not to mention of course every other racial minority.
	It's not even close.
	I can't tell you the one other demographic where the attempted suicide rate is so high.
	Because the exact comparison might get us removed from YouTube.
	It will.
	There's only one other demographic that has this same rate of attempted suicide.
	We'll reveal it in Mug Club, but do some research.
	It won't be hard to find.
	Well, it would seem, too, that the attempted suicide rate is up, and this is speculation, just judging by, you know, people in my own family, I guess, but amongst teenagers just in general, and I would assume that it has to do with a lot of woke think.
	Probably, when you're a perpetual victim and you believe that everything is outside of your control.
	Exactly.
	That makes it hopeless.
	Or if you're the person who they think is the victimizer.
	Right.
	Either way it goes, it's bad.
	Yeah.
	Because then you still have bullying either way.
	Yeah.
	One or the other.
	That's why I have an issue where you say, okay, all these people in California that are transgender kids are having a tough time in school.
	How, when that's what it's being catered to, is exactly who you are.
	Well, here's the thing.
	No one's saying that there isn't discrimination that occurs at some level, on an individual level.
	I'd say as far as systemic, you can give me an example if you want to say systemic oppression.
	But again, I think that's a good point.
	When you remove the tools of people to deal with this, Namely, that there's some kind of autonomy.
	That you have some control.
	Some say, in your own destiny, you create hopelessness.
	That's why, even though the conditions, the treatment of American slaves, African American slaves, absolutely horrible, abhorrent, well, not even close to the suicide rate of people.
	Why?
	There were tools.
	There was hope.
	They actually saw some kind of progress that could take place.
	It took a while.
	We did that for the rest of the world.
	You're welcome.
	Same thing with Jews and the Holocaust.
	Think about it.
	They felt as though they had more hope.
	than transgender youth today in California, where the legislation that they want has already been passed.
	That tells you that it's not just society, it's that these people, they have been victimized by you telling them that they are perpetually victimized.
	You are actually the predator.
	Which brings us to another truth, per the FDA, by the way.
	Purity blockers can cause brain swelling, vision loss, other kinds of psychiatric issues.
	Here's something else that nobody wants to talk about.
	They say, oh, the science is out.
	On hormone replacement therapy.
	Well, not exactly.
	Here's another truth.
	Excess estrogen in the body is, of course, believed to be cancerous.
	Now, I cannot say definitively, 100%, just to be clear on YouTube, that injecting a boy with estrogen or altering his hormone levels might actually prove to be cancergenic, because we haven't done those studies yet because we've never had to.
	But men with high levels of estrogen have had a multiple Increase in their odds of breast cancer than men who have normal levels.
	Also, anyone out there?
	Women?
	Women!
	Right now, have you had breast cancer?
	I've had many people who are survivors of breast cancer in my family.
	It runs in my family.
	What's the first thing they do?
	What's the first thing they do if you have breast cancer?
	Or one of?
	Usually the protocol immediately evolves in what they call an AI.
	No, not talking about Skynet.
	Aromatase inhibitors.
	Let's try and slow the conversion to estrogen.
	Because even with women, we know that excess estrogen can increase the rate of metastasization.
	So we, even with women, say the first line of defense is let's try and reduce excess estrogen in the body.
	The science isn't on that.
	That's what they do.
	That's a scientific protocol.
	Same thing with men.
	Excess estrogen levels.
	Go and get your hormone levels checked.
	When injected directly into the thigh of a seven-year-old, however, we don't have the long-term studies.
	Therefore, let's make it the Wild West.
	Shouldn't the, we don't have the long-term studies be, we need to wait until we have the long-term studies?
	How many times are we going to do this, injecting things into people without long-term studies and know I'm not talking about something that could get us banned?
	Right, well you know why they don't want to?
	Because it would be a complete violation of medical ethics to even try and conduct a long-term study.
	Because of, based on what we already know, you could not find a clinic or a doctor in clear conscience to say, yeah, let's see what happens with these kids we inject with estrogen versus the control group.
	It would be a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
	So instead, let's just make you, society, the experiment.
	It's not like we've done that any other time.
	By the way, Dave and I, uh, on tour here.
	We have, uh, some dates left, uh, at the end of this year.
	There's still some shows.
	Nashville, November 12th.
	We added a second show at the Ryman Auditorium, the original Grand Ole Opry, 930.
	There's that second show, some tickets there.
	And then Baltimore, December 3rd, loudearthcrowder.com slash tour.
	I think those are the only shows with tickets left.
	Yes, jerseys sold out, and yeah, we've got the Lyric in Baltimore.
	That's as close as they'd let you to D.C.
	Yes.
	I apologize.
	The picture's up on walls everywhere there, you can't get in.
	If you want to see us in that general mid-Atlantic area, you have to live out your wire fantasies.
	Yes.
	All right, let's go on to the next claim.
	Sir, there's so much here, but all the references are available.
	I think, again, I think this is more important than taxes.
	They're trying to, well, let's just show his next claim.
	Notably, young people are showing up in public forums where adults are fear-mongering about letting trans kids into youth sports and bathrooms and trying to talk some sense into them.
	I will not let a board full of people who barely represent me tell me who I am and what I can do.
	Grow up and fix your behavior.
	I'm not worried about trans people harassing me, I'm worried about if I'm gonna fail Spanish in my next class.
	I have used these bathrooms repeatedly alongside trans people and have never once felt threatened.
	Well, look at you.
	The adults in those rooms just got humiliated by teenagers, as we all know, the most brutal form of humiliation that there is.
	Wow, he's walking human clickbait.
	Got humiliated, absolutely smashed by this girl who sh- this assistant manager at Autopic.
	Is he watching a different clip than we were?
	Nobody owned anybody in that clip.
	They just said, no, it's not a problem.
	And I'm like, okay, thanks.
	You're fear mongering.
	Here are some anecdotal examples of largely white women who don't care, who don't compete in sports, who don't really have a dog in this fight.
	Oh, you just got owned.
	Here's the truth.
	If we're going to go to the anecdotal, there are far more examples of it being a problem than a few people who speak at a podium there.
	Guy literally dressed as a girl, sexually assaulted a girl in Loudoun County.
	Remember that?
	Being a girl is not all in my head.
	because he was speaking out against it because the school board basically covered it up in Brevard
	County in Florida a girl accused a trans female of groping her in the bathroom and by the way
	plenty of other girls I think we have a clip have expressed issues and fears and outrage at
	trans bathroom policies what happened to leave all women being a girl is not all in my head
	boys who identify as girls are no different from boys who identify as boys except in their feelings
	about themselves but boys the feelings are not why we have separate bathrooms
	We have separate bathrooms because of what our bodies do in them.
	Bodies matter.
	Calling girls bigots because they don't want to use the toilet in a stall next to a boy or get undressed next to a boy is cruel and wrong.
	It is embarrassing enough for a girl to change a pad knowing all the other girls can hear the crinkle of the packaging.
	But telling her that she must be okay doing it in the presence of boys because their preferred pronouns are she, her?
	How evil can you be?
	Notice even the difference in the way that the children who lean right and the children who lean left argue.
	She doesn't just appeal to emotion, she says biologically they are the same.
	That is correct.
	Biologically they are the same regardless of how they identify.
	It is not something that just exists in your head, it is something that takes place in the body.
	That is scientifically, that is factually correct.
	The girls he presented said, who are you to tell me what I think?
	We're not telling you what you think.
	We're telling you that you're a young girl who can't think straight and we're going to think for you as we do in all other scenarios with young girls and boys.
	Yeah, and by the way, I don't care if you're comfortable with it.
	I really don't.
	Like this one girl you bring up says, well I've used it next to trans dudes.
	Fine!
	You're comfortable with it.
	Now let's line up all the girls who are not comfortable with it just like this one.
	They don't forfeit their rights because you have an uneducated opinion.
	I'm fine with blacks not being able to vote, said that reporter to that head coach.
	So why do you have a problem with it?
	Doesn't matter.
	Well, the girl makes a very well-educated, honest point, and the other ones just showed up like Cartman, like, I'll do what I want.
	I'm more concerned if I'm going to pass Spanish.
	As you should.
	Yeah, why?
	Because I've been cheating.
	I've been cheating on Zoom all year and then failed the ACTs.
	Record lows.
	We'll get into a second.
	By the way, Spanish goal is to be trafficked.
	Masculine and feminine words there.
	And yeah, they still have it in Spanish.
	Are you going to still take it?
	I don't know if you should because it's just binary.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's no language.
	It's a language of love and sexuality, which is also male-female.
	Only male-female.
	Gendered nouns from all the romance languages.
	Boy, I sure hope you don't end up taking Latin.
	Don't worry.
	That's a dead language.
	It's a theme.
	Here's another claim from John Oliver.
	And this is really important because he makes the claim right before refuting himself.
	Must be nice to live in a world where you don't get called to the mat on anything.
	Where he tells you, so I'll just roll this and roll the clip right after, that children, don't worry, children are not eligible for any kind of medical intervention.
	But to hear some tell it, as soon as a child declares themselves trans, there is an immediate, irreversible surgical decision undertaken.
	And there just isn't!
	So let's break down exactly what gender-affirming care consists of.
	To be very clear, prepubescent children are not eligible for medical interventions.
	And then immediately goes, immediately, into talking about medical intervention and advocating for it on a legislative level.
	This is what happens right after that clip.
	At the onset of puberty, an adolescent and their family might consider puberty blockers, hormones that delay puberty.
	And importantly, if that treatment is suspended, then puberty will resume, meaning that this is reversible.
	Think of it like a pause button, the thing you can't do easily on the HBO Max app.
	Now, the next potential medical intervention is usually hormone therapy, which boosts levels of testosterone or estrogen.
	Opponents of gender affirming care make a lot of alarmist claims about hormone therapy, from saying that it's experimental, which it is not, to arguing that it sterilizes people.
	And look, for some, in specific situations, there can be risks to fertility, but for others, the effect is anticipated to be reversible, if the medication is discontinued.
	Okay, couple of things.
	He acknowledges that there doesn't give you the actual severity of it.
	He says, experimental, which it's not.
	Hold on a second.
	Birth control isn't considered experimental.
	Is it for nine-year-olds?
	That's the shit he's pulling here!
	Of course!
	Testosterone for people who are older.
	And I've talked about this.
	I advocate for it if you're older.
	Get your hormones checked.
	If you're in your 50s, your 60s, and you're not feeling well, yes, that is something which, by the way, unfortunately, the medical community in many cases does consider experimental.
	Because we think it may have some negative effects.
	When you ask them about estrogen injected directly into a child, however... Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
	It's not experimental.
	Yes, it is.
	There are plenty of things that are not experimental for adults that would be experimental with children.
	For the same reason they can't smoke!
	For the same reason they can't consent to sex with an adult!
	So let's also get into the truth here.
	Many countries, many countries have warned us about puberty blockers.
	Yeah.
	Which I don't even know that I need to get into this because he acknowledges that it can cause sterility.
	He says, but maybe.
	But in many cases, this can be mitigated.
	If it's 1%, it's enough to say nope.
	Yeah.
	By the way, he said it's anticipated That this will be mitigated if you stop taking the medication.
	I'm like, John, you're quoting something from 2018, from October 1st.
	Do we not have any data between October 1st, 2018 and what is today, October 17th, 2020?
	That's over four years, John.
	That's a good question.
	We have a lot.
	We have from Sweden, we have from the UK, and then New Zealand.
	Sometimes it's the information that they don't present to you.
	They quietly remove the description of safe and reversible from the Ministry of Health website.
	Gone now!
	Yeah, I can't imagine that there's any real proof that your puberty would just start right back up as normal.
	Oh, yeah.
	There couldn't be, like, years of testing of this to actually know that.
	I just can't imagine, like, even if so, could you prove that it was the exact thing that it was supposed to be?
	I don't think that's possible, right?
	No, exactly.
	In the absence of what would be a natural process, you couldn't.
	You can't necessarily know what outcomes are part of your manipulation.
	Right.
	There's no way.
	Yes.
	Jeff Goldblum knew this.
	Yeah, he told me.
	There it is.
	Now, also, you should note, this is the problem with the propaganda that comes from the left, is you have the John Olivers there.
	They spout this nonsense.
	And then I did, and you can go to lottowithcreditor.com.
	One of the advantages is everything that's been banned from YouTube, to the tune of hundreds of millions of views, is available there.
	And I did a segment where I went undercover at a Vermont town hall where they were showing us how to get our young children on puberty blockers and I believe how to use Medicaid for it.
	Yeah.
	When we released that video on YouTube and we actually refuted the idea that they're completely reversible without any health ramifications, which I cannot address here because of course that got us into trouble, they removed it.
	They removed it.
	So that's no longer available.
	This is at a public town hall, mind you.
	They were telling you how to get your children on Puberty.
	On hidden camera.
	You can go watch it on Mug Club.
	Just can't see it on YouTube.
	So the facts are not allowed.
	The science is not allowed.
	John Oliver's opinions and the anecdotal is allowed.
	That changes perceptions.
	That changes culture.
	That changes policy.
	And it's a deadly outcome.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Let's go on to another claim from him.
	Oh, this is another thing where it's just, again, an appeal to emotional fallacy, where he says, you know, no kids are just casually dropping in to get surgery, you bigot.
	Some teens may be eligible, for instance, for top surgery or chest masculinization.
	I thought none of them were?
	Medical intervention?
	Not only is that pretty rare, it, like all of this, would only happen after a team of medical professionals discussed all of its risks and benefits with their patient and their patient's parent or guardian, all of whom would have to sign off.
	No kid is casually dropping into an operating room because they just decided to get their uterus removed with impulsive recklessness normally associated with getting bangs.
	Yeah, a board of medical professionals.
	Like this?
	That's a huge bitch!
	You think that person's going to be unbiased?
	Who has openly said that they want...
	To be more aggressive in interventional therapies.
	That's the first female five-star general you're talking about.
	Yes.
	They didn't even say woman.
	They said female.
	Four-star?
	Yeah.
	Which is a biological term.
	But remember, you were a bigot if you said, hold on a second, actually, I think you're the one changing gender and sex.
	We used to use them interchangeably.
	Oh, you don't know the difference between sex and gender?
	Well, apparently the former vice president, Kamala Harris, and the entire DNC and Rachel Levine doesn't as well because they refer to Rachel Levine as the first female Not woman.
	You bigot.
	Why would you try and change words?
	Alright.
	I'm a little pissed off at Knowles for the way that he categorized this, and this is what led to John Oliver's jumping off point, saying, oh you can just walk in, let's get this woman right into surgery, and I'm like, he kind of made it easy for him, Michael.
	I know the point you were trying to make, but you didn't make it in a way that made a whole lot of sense. What really is going on
	here is he's saying, you guys will get together and you will come up with this.
	Okay, so we just talked about the medical professionals being pressured by their own agencies
	to make sure that they offer gender affirming care. Otherwise, there could be some ramifications
	down the line. They didn't say that, but eventually that's what happens, right? Parents,
	they're getting together with parents and doctors to make decisions.
	Okay, you mean the same parents that you're saying if you don't do gender-affirming care that you could possibly lose your children?
	That is happening in places around the country right now.
	People are talking about that as being bigoted and hateful.
	Yeah.
	And reason enough for the state to come into your home and start to do an investigation of why you won't let your 14-year-old transition?
	How about Johns Hopkins being suspended on social media because they said that they wouldn't be performing this care?
	Yeah, or let's not even get into suspensions.
	Just the Twitter, Facebook, YouTube mob going after what was a respected medical institution yesterday.
	Now they're just a bunch of quacks today believing that penises are a thing.
	Yeah, you've got two groups of people that are being bludgeoned into going along with this and that's the triumvirate.
	The person who's making this decision and these two other groups that can't speak out against it For fear of being ostracized from their job or losing their kids, those are the people, John, that you're saying will get together and make an informed, rational decision?
	Right.
	And by the way, it's also astronomical because here's a truth!
	From 2019 to 2021, these are statistics from children ages 13 to 17 from Reuters, there were 56 genital surgeries, 776 mastectomies.
	It's pretty damn significant.
	And then I don't know if this is another claim from, yeah, I think John Oliver, right, where he says that the state shouldn't be intervening.
	And this is where it comes to, why do you want to kill children?
	All of us here, we want to kill children.
	That's the only reason we could present the arguments or the thought processes that we do.
	We don't care about children.
	We want to kill them by saying, ah, maybe don't put children under the age of really children, period, on puberty blockers.
	Perform sex reassignment surgery.
	Unnecessary vanity surgery that a kid doesn't really want.
	Right.
	I mean, you want to affirm that.
	You meant to say, I'm a child murderer.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	What did I say?
	One does.
	Boy, that was wordy.
	I know.
	We're all child murderers because we believe that you shouldn't mutilate them.
	And I do mean mutilate.
	Here's the difference.
	It's only considered mutilation if the child regrets it, and we silence the people who regret it, which is a growing contingency.
	Otherwise, it's reassignment surgery.
	So here's another claim that he makes.
	States shouldn't intervene because transitioning children saves lives.
	And the very notion that the state would suddenly interfere in any of this is understandably infuriating for both trans kids and their parents.
	Yes, you hate state interference, you socialist prick.
	Where legislators were banning, among other things, hormone therapy for young people.
	Describe what it did for her son, who suffered from severe depression before transitioning.
	I'd say like a month to two months in, I started seeing that kid come back.
	Come out of his shell, talk to us more, laugh.
	What did that feel like as a mom?
	It was like...
	That's it.
	This has been the answer all along.
	Why would anybody want to take that away from them?
	There's no reason why you should be butting in to my care for my child.
	They put sun and exercise.
	F*** you.
	Royce!
	Royce!
	Makes him feel good.
	Why would you want to take that away from him?
	For the same reason that people might think it's a good idea to take away your Funyuns.
	Right.
	Just because it makes you feel good doesn't mean that it is doing good.
	Funyuns.
	Does the body good.
	No, no, no.
	That's milk.
	But it's a vegetable.
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of things.
	It was a vegetable.
	Yeah.
	At one point in time.
	You know what else?
	Come on, man.
	You know what else lends itself to depression?
	Obesity.
	Obesity not only as far as your endorphins, but it also becomes a vicious cycle
	People know this as it relates to your insulin resistance as it actually affects your hormones
	And yes Because a lot of people actually understand us men who are
	often very fat will suffer from low testosterone high estrogen
	because if you look at where estrogen convert converts So I'm gonna say the conversion of testosterone to estrogen
	actually happens in the presence of fat adipose tissue in other words
	I have no idea what's going on in this situation.
	I'm leaning towards what I'm saying being true, but there are a lot of things that can make kids upset.
	of parenthood.
	Yeah, and I hate to say this, I have no idea what's going on in this situation.
	I'm leaning towards what I'm saying being true, but there are a lot of things that can
	make kids upset.
	My son wants to drink milk like it's going out of style, but if he does, he'll end up
	throwing up or he'll end up not being able to sleep well.
	His stomach will hurt.
	That's what being a parent is.
	I can look at your desire right now and have the ability with experience to say, oh, that doesn't lead to a good place.
	So let me tell you so that you don't have to learn the lesson the hard way.
	Except in this case, the parent just said, oh, thank God something worked.
	Well, but what about four years from now?
	What about five?
	What about one year from now for this child with what you're doing for them?
	Helping them in this moment, you're taking the short, easy way out, instead of saying, hey, long term, I've looked it up, the studies are terrible for this, it's a 40% suicide rate.
	Empirically, she's wrong, John Oliver's wrong.
	Yeah.
	Well, we left him in his room, is what we did, and then we gave him anything he wanted to eat, and I don't know why he was sad.
	And the Nintendos.
	Yeah, so we gave him a vagina and now he kind of talks to us.
	Yeah.
	Sometimes he talks through his vagina like a puss of Senior Wednesday.
	So right, so right.
	He'll be like, what's for dinner?
	Is it spaghetti again?
	Yep, yep.
	I'll say, hey, don't play with that.
	You need to go do your dye later.
	Oh boy.
	And just to be clear, I feel bad for these children.
	I have a problem with the parents, and I have a problem with John Oliver, and I have a problem with the people who perpetuate this, and I have a problem with, I'm sorry, the suburban female voters who don't stand up to your friends in your circle.
	This is the reason it's happening.
	Men understand that it's not good, particularly as it relates to sports, and black women and Latino women do not support this.
	I broke a guy's hand at Golden Corral.
	I did?
	Yeah, last night.
	You think you're going to get that last Salisbury?
	I got something for you.
	Yep.
	Sand hit right to hell if you're going to go try with the other one.
	Who are they to tell me if this is what works?
	Well, you know what?
	Your diet and exercise regimen works right now until two years from now when they have to take off a foot.
	And by the way, again, it's sort of like, with diabetes, I will say, this isn't necessarily medically true, this might be what is referred to as a joke, you just have to push past it because then when they cut off your feet, your BMI resets.
	And you lose weight.
	It's like Apollo 13.
	You have to go around the moon.
	You gotta keep going to use the slingshot back of fat.
	Hit the like button, by the way, if you're tired of this coming out from John Oliver.
	I don't think you can have diabetes when you're dead, too, so there's that.
	Well, corpses are lighter.
	Cured.
	That's true.
	They are lighter.
	I go grave robbin'.
	Oh, I watched an episode of Lore with grave robbing, and it was so disturbing.
	Oh, it really is.
	It actually happened in the UK, where they... anyway.
	Sounds sexy.
	It's unrelated, but I'll talk about it.
	It's how I get my jewelry.
	It's how I get the pearls.
	All right, here's another claim that he tries to make, again, to guilt you, John Oliver, is if you stop kids from transitioning, you You are the one.
	Not the lady there who maybe is actually making horrible medical decisions that could negatively affect her child for the rest of the child's life.
	You're the one who's responsible for suicidal ideation.
	A survey of around 28,000 trans people found that of those who wanted hormone therapy and didn't receive it, 58% reported suicidal thoughts in a given year.
	Which is why the three major professional associations of child and adolescent doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists have endorsed gender affirming care and condemned efforts to deny it.
	Okay, so a couple things here.
	Let me get to a truth for you, and this is tough.
	We have to sort of piecemeal this.
	Why?
	Because we have some data on transgender youth.
	We don't have the long-term data on transgender youth.
	Again, we talked about that reverse nirvana fallacy.
	It's because no one thought we had to study this, because it wasn't this kind of an issue.
	So, trans youth are about three times more likely to attempt suicide than non-trans youth.
	Okay.
	We don't have the long-term suicide rates from transgender youth post-operation, because there is no data from that yet.
	Nothing reliable that I've seen.
	But, we have three times more likely transgender youth And then we have the fact that overall, throughout their lifetime, post-op transgenders are 19 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.
	By the way, one of those stats comes from Harvard.
	You can check out all the references.
	I highly encourage that you do.
	The data is overwhelming here.
	Sure, you can say maybe a subset, the science is out, and even then I would argue no, but the totality of it is completely irrefutable.
	It's why they don't address it.
	It's almost entirely anecdotal from John Oliver.
	I just lost my- He just threw it to the other side of your head.
	That man's mad with his pen clicker!
	I thought someone threw it at you.
	I was like, what happened?
	That look like a direct hit?
	It was good.
	That's what would be now with Home Alone, you know, his whole fantasy is he goes and eats nothing but sugar, right, in the giant hotel suite.
	Now it would just be double-sided dildos and a sewing kit.
	Still the sugar, but his parents are there.
	Home Alone 3, transitioning in New York.
	It's just called Home.
	Harry, you're missing some balls.
	My fake gold cock!
	I'm gonna kill him!
	That's that kid we're gonna break in and have consensual sex with him.
	Yes!
	I don't think he can do that, Harry.
	What are you talking about?
	He can choose to remove his downer when he's six years old, but the point is it's a slippery slope.
	It is.
	It's dark.
	Now, next claim from John Oliver is that he says people, and this is something because there's a huge contingency, and again, we don't really have all the data on this, because this hasn't all been studied.
	But every time we follow up on new studies, for example, when people would say that there was evidence of different brains, you know, in transgender individuals, I can't remember which study it was, and there was a Swedish study, I believe it was the Remedi study, that when they finally actually looked at it and did a control group of people and checked their brains, they actually did MRIs and checked the sort of the I don't know if it was... I know they checked the actual frontal lobe portion of the brain.
	Maybe someone can grab it.
	Gray matter.
	They wanted to see what was changed or what was different with people who claim to be transgender.
	They found that the changes, when they followed up, only occurred after cross-sex hormone replacement therapy.
	This was a study that was cited for a very long time.
	They said, well, hold on a second.
	We didn't actually study them before they underwent the hormone replacement therapy.
	Let's create a new study with a larger sample group.
	I believe it was a Swedish Remedies study.
	I can't remember which one.
	I'm going by rote here.
	It's a while ago.
	I said, okay, so we're going to look at their brains first.
	Look at their brain.
	Oh, the changes occur after we administer hormones, which if you understand the relationship between hormones and uh neurotransmitters they're very some people argue that they're almost one in the same in some instances so we don't have data on everything but the data on people who are detransitioning as it comes out is alarming it's a very large percentage of them particularly children who transition so he tries to cut that off at the pass and silence
	People who have detransitioned, saying the only reason that they have, like that lady with the black coach, the Buccaneers, saying you do understand that black people need representation, to a black man.
	They're trying to say, right here, John Oliver, to the women and men who've detransitioned, you do know the only reason you're doing that is because of social stigma, right?
	Here he is doing that.
	And you may have seen or heard from a small subset of people who detransitioned.
	But it is worth knowing, such cases are rare and highly individualized.
	Studies show an average of just 2% of people who transition express regret, and that the vast majority of those who have opted to detransition did so not because of changes in their gender identity, but due to external factors such as stigma and lack of social support.
	Anyway, remember we talked about if you don't intervene with children, the vast majority of them grow out of it, but if you do, almost none of them do?
	It's really hard to study that as the point that you made with puberty blockers.
	You don't know what puberty would have looked like without them, even if you paused, even if you stopped them.
	You can't know.
	It's impossible.
	And by the way, something that is sort of anecdotal here but is interesting, and I would love to see a comparison, you see it with a lot of people who compete in combat sports, particularly wrestlers, who have to cut weight.
	I had friends who were wrestlers, and what happened, one of them was on dialysis because they would have to cut weight.
	You go into college your freshman year, you have to wrestle, let's say, at 182, and then you graduate, you still have to keep your spot at 182, and they're consistently wringing out their organs, and some of them actually don't go through puberty because of the damage that that causes.
	to their endocrine system. So imagine how much more severe it would be. We don't... some of them
	afterwards have to get on hormone replacement therapy for the rest of their life. The point
	is when you take these drastic measures while you're growing, sometimes it is catastrophic,
	and it is permanent, and it's very, very hard to study. He also, by the way, goes on to criticize
	these detransitioners and uses... what is he... has an example here. Let's just show... I don't
	There's so many here, bear with me.
	It's more bullshit.
	I could keep reading you stats and studies.
	I do, after all, love doing that.
	Or I could just let you watch this boy talk about what it felt like to have someone actually see him for who he was.
	Dylan explained how as early as fourth grade, he'd had confusing feelings that stretched on until his teenage years.
	I really wanted to cut my hair.
	Like, really bad.
	And so when I did that, that felt really good.
	And then, I held the door for somebody, and they said, thank you, sir.
	And I was like, oh yeah, that.
	Yeah, that.
	This little thing?
	Little thing.
	That sir put words to how I was feeling, and I was like, oh, yeah, that.
	That felt nice.
	Yeah, that's incredible!
	No it's not!
	That's not incredible.
	Kinda rude.
	Sir, I have felt good.
	This should be the basis of our medical community!
	That young Jake Paul lookalike with thicker eyebrows said it felt good to be called sir!
	Who are you to say otherwise?
	A doctor.
	Not me, but I'm saying hypothetically if I was a doctor.
	Right, yes.
	There's a lot of things that don't feel good.
	I could present facts and evidence, and you know I love to!
	Actually, I don't because you don't do it.
	You've been quoting from one study saying there's no new information since 2018.
	But instead, here's a young transgender individual who says he likes being called sir.
	That would be true.
	Oh, yeah, no, that's better than empirical data.
	No, it's just going back to the original argument.
	Promotion thing.
	At a food court.
	Yes, exactly.
	Is this young man at an Auntie Anne's saying that he likes olding dolls?
	He's going to Lids now to get a baseball cap.
	Nothing else to see here.
	Off to Spencer's to get condoms for his invisible gawk.
	And one of those plasma orbs!
	I love those plasma orbs, you cheeky plasma orb!
	What?
	You know what would have been, like, the more balanced approach to this is to have somebody who's detransitioned on and say, well, how do you feel now?
	What happened to listen to all trans?
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're only doing it because of peer pressure.
	As opposed to kids who are transitioning first because, oh, it felt really good.
	They said, sir.
	Okay.
	Doesn't matter.
	It doesn't matter if it felt really good.
	This is conflating the idea of what feels good in the moment with happiness.
	They're not the same thing.
	Not at all.
	Not the same thing.
	Guess what?
	You may be married.
	You love your wife.
	She's fantastic.
	It would feel really, really good for you in the moment to cheat on your wife with a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
	Doesn't mean that it's going to lead to happiness.
	Yeah.
	It's going to lead to a miserable life.
	going to lead to guilt. It's going to lead to calamity. It's because it feels good doesn't
	mean it's right. You're dealing with narcissists. You are dealing with narcissists and what they
	seek is control. Like the Meghan Markle, like the Amber Heard, it's an entire party, an entire
	ideological wing of those people that gaslight you to gain control, accuse you of doing what it is
	that they are doing, and discount any information or people who might question whatever their truth
	That's why they use words.
	That's why they use phrases like, speak my truth.
	It's silly.
	It's nonsensical.
	Have you ever tried to break that down, that phrase?
	Speaking my truth.
	Those words don't fit in that order, in that sentence.
	Well, that's just because it's a lie.
	Yes, exactly.
	It used to be called a lie.
	Yeah, we've changed it.
	And now it's just, well, that was my truth.
	I wish I could talk my way out of a DUI with that.
	Here's my truth, you're gonna be in jail.
	Your honor, my truth was I was sober and did not hit a pedestrian.
	You are free to go.
	I understand where you're coming from.
	My truth is that's always nothing more than club soda with a lime.
	Your Honor, I identify as trans.
	Oh, sir, please.
	Right this way.
	It's like you just put on the invisibility cloak.
	Hold on a second.
	Who's on trial here?
	I can't even see you anymore.
	You're free to go.
	It was a man.
	Worked for Caitlyn Jenner.
	Yes.
	How many hit and runs?
	Nineteen?
	All references available at lotto.com.
	Here's another claim which by the way is I mean it refutes the earlier claim he was trying to make about trans individuals right if they're being ostracized by society he was talking about how much more likely they're to be depressed or attempt suicide so it's kind of a half half rebutting of his own claim but if you watch it he tries to sort of bs his way out of it where he says that trans people aren't any more susceptible to depression than most people While opponents of trans rights will say that these kids are either a menace or brainwashed, their defenders will often gravitate towards the same sad statistics that I've shown you tonight of depression and suicide.
	And while that is understandable on one level, it's the most devastating harm that can be inflicted by these bills.
	It's clearly not the whole story, which is that when supported, trans kids can experience full, vibrant lives because trans people are not by default unhappier or more prone to suffering than everyone else.
	That is something that we are putting on them.
	This is what, and notice by the way, this is also something Dave made a good point earlier about puberty and not being able to study something when it's occurring without, in the absence of the natural process.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so you have trans, here's what we know, trans children far more likely to experience depression, far more likely to attempt suicide or have suicidal ideation.
	Then we know that transgender adults, even post-op, 19 times more likely.
	The trick they pull is transgender children, right, they're more happy after they transition because they now go into a new study group.
	They're no longer children.
	So it's a delayed effect.
	It's a fuse that's lit.
	And then you say, well, hold on a second.
	They're really depressed right now before transition.
	Most of them are happier after transition.
	What happens when they're older than 18 years old?
	We don't have that data.
	If you look at that data in tandem, guess what?
	It gets worse.
	It doesn't get any better.
	but they're no longer a child. So you can have maybe a one, two, three, five year honeymoon period
	where they feel really good and then they become one of those detransitioners who John Oliver
	completely discounts. By the way, as it relates to depression, 44% transgender people suffer from
	clinical depression. That's compared to the United States in general, about 8.4%. That's what we call
	statistically significant. Well, and to call them a menace for that?
	That's the part that I don't get.
	He just put that on people that are compassionate about that.
	It's like, you think that we think that they're a menace because they're suicidal and depressed?
	No, it would be the complete opposite.
	Right.
	The complete opposite.
	You're the menace, John, and people like you that won't dig deeply into what's going on with these kids and just uses them as a prop for your ideology.
	Yeah.
	That's who the menace is in this situation.
	Look in the mirror.
	It has to- Hey, Mr. Wilson!
	He's just dangling from the porch.
	Just doused in kerosene.
	But that's like, he just throws that at it.
	It's like, you have no clip that says anybody called them a menace.
	Right.
	Not one person said they were a menace.
	No.
	You're not afforded the benefit of the doubt.
	You just want to kill transgender youth.
	Hey, you know what?
	I don't want to put my son or daughter in a shallow cancerous grave.
	That's why.
	I want to leave this world a better place for my daughter, my young son.
	than it was before I came here. And I don't think the way to do that is to inject them full of hormones.
	And most people don't. Most doctors don't. I guess you're going to apply pressure and leverage,
	and that's what's really evil with this, trying to exclude people, exclude the voices, and exclude
	doctors who say this is actually, this is actually medically, it's empirically a bad thing to do.
	You're just hateful! How can you, how can you call that progress?
	Alright, let's move on to the final claim here from his clip.
	I encourage you to go watch this whole thing.
	We about covered it all.
	That children should be able to do whatever makes them happy.
	And again, this is ThruLine, the anecdotal versus empirical and gaslighting you.
	This is narcissism.
	All the kids we've seen tonight shouldn't need to be activists.
	They should get to dress how they want, go to the right bathroom for them, and play the sports they want to play.
	We are working toward the goal of every trans kid knowing that they are loved, valued, and indispensable as Dolly Parton-loving, weird pet-owning, freaking dope individuals.
	And never, ever going back to a point where anyone feels that if they appear on TV, they have to hide behind a f***ing plant.
	So this is what they do.
	They conflate love with full-fledged support for any decision that a child makes.
	If my kid can't eat exclusively Pop-Tarts, does that mean I don't love them?
	It makes them happy!
	Your kid needs to be parented.
	He needs to learn to be part of society.
	He needs to know how it works.
	He doesn't need a friend who lets him do whatever they want.
	Exactly.
	It's unbelievable to think that that's a good idea.
	And to think, and again, that combined with the empirical evidence that we have as it relates to these medical decisions, what we know is bad.
	We don't know everything, but almost all of what we know is bad.
	It's, we love all of them.
	Look, does it mean that you don't love your son or your daughter if they suffer from some kind of serious condition that maybe they need to be institutionalized for?
	Does it mean you don't love your son if your son develops a chemical dependency and you send them to rehab?
	He's gonna be mad at you.
	He feels good doing it in that moment.
	Are you comparing trans people to drug addicts?
	No, I'm not comparing them to drug addicts, but certainly we are talking about exogenous hormones.
	We are talking about medical intervention, often drugs, that will cause long-term ill health effects that would require A responsible parental figure to intervene in the correct way.
	None of that has to do with not loving your children.
	Don't be gaslit into believing you're crazy or that you're not compassionate.
	And why, by the way, does personal happiness mean that fleeting feeling of what feels good?
	Why is that the virtue to trump all other virtues at this point in time?
	I don't know when that happened.
	We weren't raised with that as kids.
	I'd always say, don't do that.
	But I like doing it.
	Yeah, but it's wrong.
	Oh, okay, but it feels good.
	It's wrong.
	Oh, now I know, but it feels good to drink, uh, to create a graveyard at Burger King of every single soda imaginable and go back for 19 refills.
	He goes, well, you're probably not going to feel good in an hour or two and don't do it because it's bad for you.
	Now extend that hour or two, the delayed reaction of five, 10 years, and that exact same scenario, that parent doesn't love you because they're not letting you do whatever it is that you want.
	Again, something else really important we see throughout this entire segment, in order to make you believe that you are not compassionate, in order to make you believe that you're a bad person for holding your opinions, which is what they always do, you're racist, you're sexist, you're homophobic, you hate women, and in this case, you hate women because you believe they shouldn't be at a biological disadvantage at their own sports.
	It's the gaslighting that takes place, and then we bring it back to, and, you know, What we really should do is what feels good.
	That is classic narcissism.
	It is a way to manipulate you to silence anyone who doesn't agree with them.
	Why?
	To lay it all at the altar of self-worship.
	The sacrifice to what makes me feel good in the moment.
	There's a reason legislation has had to exist across the country.
	This is for the soul of our country.
	The idea that men and women are fundamentally interchangeable and the idea that parental rights are a thing?
	That's as important as it gets.
	Thank you.
	I think I'm going to make use of this.
	Hit the like button.
	Hit share.
	We're going to go to Mug Club YouTube.
	I hope you enjoyed it.
	I know you didn't.
