Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
Today is March 21st, 2023.
Anno Domini.
Last week, we had Libby Evans on this program, and we were talking about the kids.
And it basically comes down to this.
The kids are not alright.
From the trans contagion, to the issue with the labor force participation, dating, even driving.
It's just not happening anymore.
What's going on?
So today, here on Human Events, we're gonna talk about it.

the Pozo Daily Brief. - Hi, I was once a trans youth, and now I'm a happy 22-year-old trans adult student at New College of Florida.
This is my healthcare.
Ma'am?
Okay.
Don't tread on it.
Senator Yarbrough has militarized the Florida GOP into the genital Gestapo.
Ron DeSantis wants trans people dead.
You are committing genocide.
I grew up in Germany in the aftermath of the Nazis, and what you people are doing is no different.
This is transphobic.
It is free.
And you really should be ashamed.
What you are doing by signing this bill is an act of war.
The way it is, as it is now, my people will die.
And that blood, if you support this bill, will be on your hands.
I'm 12 years old, I'm non-binary.
If you pass this bill, many of us will die.
I deserve to live as long as all of you.
We are humans too.
Alright, now let me bring in Libby Emmons on this.
Now Libby, you and I were talking about this Whole situation last week and it sort of came up as a statistic that we were getting into, but I understand that you're working on a piece that I hope you're going to be publishing on humanevents.com about how did we get here?
So Libby, the floor is yours.
Yeah, so I am working on a piece and I think that it's really important to talk about what's going on with so-called trans youth.
And trans kids, which I think is really a fiction made up by parents and educators and activists and men who really want you to believe that they are women.
And everyone wants to know how we got here.
How did we get to a place where men think they're women if they say they are?
Where parents seek to inject their kids with drugs to stop their natural development in service to the lie that human beings can change sex.
We got here through the weaponization of compassion, the emergence of a feminist fascism, and a willingness to declare that lies are truth.
Though threats of this movement likely go back further into the past than I can recall, I watched much of this emerge in my own lifetime.
And we went from the political correctness movement of the late 80s and 1990s, which I experienced in high school, into the elevation of oppression as a virtue, And straight into the grievance culture of identity politics.
I think we all saw this happening.
I think we could, you know, look at it.
And we obliterated our God.
We told ourselves that reality is relative.
And what we really did is we embraced death over life.
And it started, a lot of it, if you go back to abortion, the reframing of abortion as health care and the willingness to sterilize children and teens in order to help them achieve their goals, to remake their physical appearance.
We have said as a culture that human reproduction is not as important or essential as looking the way you want, or living without responsibilities or encumbrances.
But really, these are adult perspectives and adult wants, and as a justification of those wants, adults foist them onto children.
They have men in drag read to impressionable preschoolers, telling us this is so little kids know it's okay to be different, but Actually, it is leading.
It is grooming.
It is telling them not to trust their own bodies.
Grown men like Rachel Levine tell us trans kids exist because those men want to believe that they are not living out a fetish, but that they were actually innately the opposite sex from birth.
They mutilate our children in service to their own desires.
It's not reality.
Universities and institutions have adopted and internalized these ideas.
They pump out books and articles and graduates that seek to destroy our culture in the name of liberating it.
Educators, librarians, artists, doctors, and politicians see themselves as activists in service to a mission, and we know that one cannot serve two masters at once.
Our culture and its purveyors are slaves to ideology, and they refuse to see or acknowledge truth, so where does that leave us?
I mean it just, it makes you feel uncomfortable, right?
And there was something that, and you and I were talking a little bit before the show that, when we got into this, it seems like people are...
And I guess we've all kind of been guilty of this in a sense, but people are living their online lives in their primary mode, as opposed to living their real, actual, physical, you know, meatspace lives first.
And so in many of these cases, whether it be, it started with Tumblr, it's turned into Twitter to an extent, now TikTok, Instagram, but really TikTok, It's almost as if these online communities, which seek to pervade these senses of thinking, are then taking over their lives, and they're completely going into this.
And so trans, obviously, I think, is the most extreme example of it, but it's not the only example, and I want people to understand that.
Yeah, it's not the only example, and a lot of what you're talking about certainly started back with Tumblr, if people remember Tumblr, which was You know, the early version of this.
And on Tumblr, you had a lot of people coming out as trans.
You had a lot of community embracing each other and saying, hey, you're really trans.
And I think a lot of what happened too, as people went online to create their own avatars, was that we shut down real life during the pandemic.
So we had three years where adults basically did whatever they wanted.
They went out and protested.
They wore masks or didn't wear masks or anything else.
But we shut down schools.
We shut down playgrounds of all the ridiculous things.
We shut down churches.
We shut down all of the places where children and teens can go hang out with each other.
Parks in New York City were closed.
Kids can't go anywhere if they can't go to the park.
Arcades were closed.
We shut down so many different things and all kids could do was go online.
to speak with their friends.
This is all they could do.
I remember as a parent being really conflicted because my son was not able to see his friends in person.
He wasn't allowed to go to school.
They weren't allowed to go to school.
And his friends' parents were freaked out by COVID.
I was not as freaked out as them at all.
I was saying, let's all meet up at the park.
Let's do this and that.
Let's try, you know, even once parks got more open, But my son ended up talking to his friends online an awful lot, and this is what so many kids did.
And it wasn't just talking to each other, but talking to new people, strangers.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who said that her child, who is in high school, does not have friends at school.
All of his friends are online.
another one of my friends, her daughter.
We are just hold that thought.
We are just about to hit our first break.
I know, I know.
I don't want to stop you.
We are going to go on a commercial break.
And then I want to continue immediately after this because look, I've got kids as well, but yours are, yours are older.
They're, they're older.
Your son is older.
So I want to get into this.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back.
Human Events Daily, Libby Emmons.
And we're back here at Human Events Daily.
Libby Emmons, Libby Emmons, I had to cut you off for the commercial break, but you were telling us a story about your son, the lockdowns, its effect on him, and others.
Please continue.
Yeah, so it wasn't just my son who ended up locked inside during the lockdown pandemics while adults went and flitted about and did whatever.
They pleased from protesting to drinking out to doing whatever they wanted.
Um, but we locked the kids inside and he spent all of his time, you know, when he was being social, it was online.
Um, I have another friend I mentioned whose son, his only friends are online.
And I had another friend whose child actually went through gender transition and lives as the opposite sex.
And my friend was telling me that, um, Her daughter, who's actually her daughter, had a relationship and that her daughter was very upset when the relationship ended.
And I was asking a little about it, just inquiring, and it turned out that the entire romantic relationship had happened online and the two had never actually met in person.
I found this rather stunning.
I can understand, certainly, how the ending of a friendship like that would be difficult.
But at the same time, why aren't these kids meeting up in person?
Why aren't they even interested in being in the same place and holding hands and all of the other things that certainly marked our upbringings as older people and how we lived as teens?
Well, you can't bring kids to the theater, you can't bring kids out.
And so it also speaks to something, and I've heard people talk about this as well, which they refer to as Even more broadly than in the pandemic, the loss of third spaces.
And what is a third space?
And so a third space, the way I consider it, or the way that I've heard people explain it, is a third place is it's not your home, and it's not someplace you have to be.
So it's not school.
It's not church.
It is a place to hang out.
It is a place to shop.
It is a place to To be entertained, a place to commune with others, where you could meet people.
It's not a, you know, you can kind of argue back and forth whether or not, you know, supermarkets constitute third places.
You know, if you're talking to any of the day-dating guys, they would say yes unequivocally, but I think most people just kind of look at it as sort of, you know, sort of essentials.
But bookstores, you know, used to serve this purpose as well in many places.
It can be.
It can be.
Church can be.
I would say it's not work or school or home.
It's not work or school or home.
It's a third place.
And so why is it, though, Libby, that we've been losing third places in this country?
I think in a lot of ways, we've been losing meaning.
And as we lose meaning, we lose the places that we are drawn to based on our own, you know, interests.
So these could be the gaming Places where kids would go and play chess, perhaps.
I know that there's still one on MacDougall Street where people go and play chess.
This is churches.
Churches got shut down during the pandemic, and we've already seen that so many people who left church during the pandemic did not actually go back.
Church doors closed, and many of them, once they opened again, they had hardly as many people coming back into those basis.
We also have lost our idea of doing things together, you know?
So what are you supposed to do when you get together?
Are you all supposed to sit around and stare at your phones?
If anyone goes to a diner and they see teenagers...
By the way, for the record, for the record, for the record, I did have dinner with a 76-year-old man last week and his phone sat on the table during that dinner, but they were not turned on once for the hours that we sat there.
Not once.
Yeah, I think more of us should do things like that.
I have trouble doing that myself because I'm constantly on call for work, so if someone is needing I need you to talk to me.
I tend to, I tend to take... Well Libby, you work at Human Events.
Who could incessantly be contacting you at all hours of the night by phone and text and any other... I can't imagine who that would be.
When someone's like, I need this article up now!
I need the headline!
This series is only going to be done in 24 minutes!
You know, that's all Barrett.
Obviously, we're talking about Barrett.
Yeah, it's obviously not you.
No.
Forrest, not me.
No.
No.
Barrett.
Sometimes Hannah.
Sometimes Hannah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know how she gets.
Not me.
But yeah, third spaces.
I have trouble coming up with a third space.
Well, you know what else, though, too, because you look, it's also has to do with the way we've designed our towns or the we've undesigned our towns, right?
So we've undesigned towns in outside of cities.
We've undesigned towns to be suburban sprawl and, you know, strip malls and shopping centers rather than your town square.
Which would be centered typically around, you know, church, courthouse, then you have your businesses, then spokes off of that would be the homes.
And then you might, or you might have a secondary church or a school would be Would be there.
And so this is something that people are actually starting to do in other parts of the country where they're building new towns and they're using the old system because a lot of zoning laws and developers and people got together and said they didn't want to build these things anymore.
So that's what killed Main Street.
So Main Street goes away.
But then you at least had shopping malls.
And so late 70s, obviously, their heyday was 80s, 90s, where shopping malls became this new main street that people would go to congregate and shop and mingle.
But then, with the rise of the internet, that started taking away the shopping mall.
And now it's even worse, because you don't even need to go to the shopping center anymore.
If you really need something, you just Have someone deliver it to you from a piece of glass in your hand, right?
You just, you know, whether it's Postmates or Uber Eats or whatever, just Amazon in general, if you don't need it immediately, we've gotten to the point where we're so incredibly atomized that I think I think humans are yearning for social connection and it's not just kids.
And this, you know, we talk about why aren't kids dating?
Why aren't kids driving?
Why are kids online more?
Is trans coming up because of this?
I think it's all of the above.
I think it's literally all of the above.
But folks, a lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way what corporations treat us and their employees, but it's not enough to just complain.
We actually need to change the way that marketplace works.
And that starts with you, how you spend your money.

So you know Libby, what was so worrisome in the 80s, the 90s, even the 70s, you know, you might be worried about your kids getting into drugs.
You might be worried about your kids getting into a gang.
You might be worried about your kids going to a concert, you know, in the Philly area.
You know, I mean, I hung out in Philly as a teenager going to concert after concert after concert, every single venue in that city, you know, twice or more, you know, Electric Factory, how many times, right?
But today, it's not the music industry or the gangs, and now drugs are still there.
That's, that's obviously, you know, that's obviously still huge, even worse issue now, because there's so much more powerful and potent than they were in the past and, and deadly with the rise of fentanyl, but also you got big pharma involved and big pharma isn't just trying to, uh, they're but also you got big pharma involved and big pharma isn't just trying to, uh, They're not just out there hanging out the shingle saying, Hey, come by there.
They're targeting your kids and that's where big pharma and the internet culture and the loss of third spaces.
That's kind of where it all connects, isn't it?
Libby.
And so instead of, instead of, Oh, well I, you know, I had a bad, you know, a bad breakup at, at, at school or something.
And so I'm going to go hang out with my friends at the mall and Now it's, I had a bad breakup, so I'm going to go cut off part of myself.
I'm going to go get a skin graft on my forearm.
I'm going to go and, or even in some cases, you know, you're talking about pre-puberty in some of this.
So walk us through a little bit about what actually is going on there when it comes to even the younger children.
Yeah, there's a case in California right now where a young woman who had her breasts removed at the age of 13 is suing Kaiser Permanente for that double mastectomy that she had, saying that she was too young to consent for that.
And any 13 year old girl is, of course, far too young to be able to consent to something like that.
It's shocking to see this.
And then you have people on the left and they can't decide, the progressive left, they can't decide.
If these kinds of mutilations of our children never happen, or if it's good that they happen.
You have people advocating for gender affirming care, like our illustrious President Biden right now, who doesn't even know what it means.
And when we say gender affirming care, that is a carefully constructed euphemism to say that, um, you know, children should have access to this, what they call care.
But what it really is, is chemical castration.
It is stunted growth, it is the application of cross-sex hormones, and it is, in some cases, drastic surgeries that change your life and your body forever.
There are so many cases now of young girls, and I'm speaking of young girls because it is among young girls that a huge increase in trans identification has occurred.
But you do see it with young boys, too.
We do see it with young boys as well, but for young boys, the medical industry is not tending to invert their penises, is the term really, typically until the boys are 17 or 18 years old, which also is far too young for anyone to make that kind of determination.
So when we couple the idea that children are, uh, teens are not dating, children obviously should not be dating, but when we couple the idea that teens are not dating with the, uh, push toward their using their bodies to create their own avatars, um, and then growing up to find that, uh, the, the idea that they could switch sex has actually been a total lie.
We see how we got here, right?
Because.
How can a person, a teenager who's never been on a date, recognize that they might want their body parts?
Well, and the younger they get you, right, the younger they get you, when you are faced with that lie, now you're hooked on prescription medication for the rest of your life.
Biden's up there with Admiral Levine trying to make this federal law that every insurer, they're using Obamacare for this, by the way, under the ACA, they're trying to make it so that every insurance Every insurance pool in this country that you pay into, so you and I and Libby, actually we're on the same insurance.
Well, we're not, but we have to be.
That's a different story.
You're a little personal there.
You will be paying into this so that every insurance pool will be covered.
And potentially even, you know, for the disadvantaged, you might even have taxpayer services covering this.
That's what they're trying to enshrine in federal law now.
And this is, by the way, so this is the number one, this is what Big Pharma, and I'll use the phrase, and this isn't my phrase, this isn't my phrase, this is what the activist or whatever you want to call that thing at the beginning said, the genital Gestapo.
This is the General Gestapo.
And you know who's behind the General Gestapo?
Big Pharma.
That's exactly right.
They are behind that.
And they are interested in creating lifelong patients.
They're doing a great job.
If you don't have kids who are on antidepressants and, you know, whatever else to treat their fictitious ADHD, which even the doctor who coined the phrase ADHD has said that he basically made it up.
So your kids are always going to be pressed to be put on something.
Right, but how many kids get stuck on the Ritalin, which you never hear about that anymore, on Prozac, right?
Suddenly it's, because this is what happens, is you have these designer drugs that come out, these name brand drugs, and then suddenly you also have all these doctors going throughout television, throughout the media, telling you about these terrible new disorders, That you have to, you have to try the Ritalin.
Ritalin is going to what?
It's like putting eyeglasses on your brain.
Remember that?
They say that it's like eyeglasses on your brain.
Um, that was one of the, it's all marketing and somebody's getting rich and there's a reason they're all driving BMWs.
I mean, if you're going to take a bunch of speed, yeah, you're going to be hyper-focused, but that's not what your kids need.
Your kids don't need speed so that they can be hyper-focused.
They need to learn how to focus, learn how to use their brains.
Learn how to work with the intelligence that they have and figure out how to navigate life.
They don't need to be drugged.
We should know this.
Puberty blockers do not result in temporary changes.
These are permanent changes.
They're neurological changes.
And moreover, doctors and the media used to know this.
They knew this before 2016.
There was an article today that I was looking at that a friend sent me from 2015 where PBS, far left, PBS was talking about the difficulties surrounding medicine for children and teens who identify as transgender.
It was talking about the components of brain development that happen during puberty when hormones wash through the brain.
It was talking about the various different risks and how careful doctors really need to be.
And it noted also that Boston Children's Hospital was the first one to pioneer These early kinds of medical treatments, for lack of a better word, back in 2007.
Libby, we are just about out of time for the episode.
I hope that your piece can get up very soon.
