Government Is Not the Solution, It is the PROBLEM

Time Text
It's quite an extraordinary story.
I'll be very interested to see how they deal with the fact that the liberal justices said that religious freedom was important.
Of course they'll condemn it, but they must be scratching their heads at the New York Times where there is absolutely no difference between two members of the same sex and two members of the opposite sex because the sexes don't exist anyway.
A very interesting issue arose about, actually, it was our resident Harvard Heretic girl.
You were mentioning to me of an all-girls school.
You attended an all-girls school, right?
Yes.
And your friend is still at that school whom I met yesterday, a 16-year-old girl.
And what do they do if one of the students says, I'm a man?
Well, they don't ask the student to leave.
So it's not an all-girls school.
You can't have it both ways.
Either it's an all-girls school and the transgender male must leave, or you don't believe the transgender male is really a male.
There's no third possibility, correct?
It's all kabuki theater.
Do you understand?
The whole leftist world is theater.
It's the theater of the absurd.
Really, what do you do?
A girl at your all-girls school has announced that she is not she, but she is he.
Do you take it seriously?
If so, you cannot stay enrolled.
But they allow them to stay enrolled, so it's not an all-girls school.
So either it's a lie that she's a boy, or it's a lie that it's an all-girls school.
This is the absurd that we have entered here that we have to believe in.
But now I am reading here.
Education Department extends Title IX Protections to Transgender Students in Reversal of Trump-era Guidance.
By the way, on every ground, virtually every ground except tweets, I profoundly miss a man who became a great president, Donald Trump.
I'll tell you this, had he won...
And there's been COVID, the amount of rioting would have dwarfed what you saw.
Then you would have had close to an insurrection.
I think a lot of people voted for Joe Biden so that they'd not be rioting.
People don't like to confront.
The Education Department yesterday announced that it would expand the definition of the federal civil rights statute banning sex discrimination in federally funded education programs to include gender identity amid a national debate over whether biological males should be allowed to compete in girls sports.
So let me explain how everything in that sentence depicts what is so wrong in society.
The moment federally funded money is mentioned, Ronald Reagan's famous line comes to my mind.
It is, by the way, the line that turned me into a Republican.
I was a Democrat until he ran for president.
In fact, I voted for Jimmy Carter.
That was my last Democratic vote.
One might say it was my last mistake in voting, in the voting arena.
His famous line, government is not the solution, it is the problem.
People don't understand how true that is.
The genocides, with one exception, in, was it Burundi?
In Rwanda.
Not Burundi, in Rwanda, where it was more tribal.
All of the mass genocides...
Redundant genocides are generally massive.
Were taken by governments, big governments.
At college you learn that more evil was done in the name of religion than anything else.
That's only because colleges don't care about truth.
In fact, more evil was done by secular regimes.
In the same span of time than any religious regime.
That's number one.
Number two, it was done by governments.
Without strong government, you can't rub out a race or an ethnicity or a religious group.
Back to the United States.
Federally funded.
Why are colleges federally funded at all?
Do you know what the Harvard's...
What is the term again?
When you have all the savings?
Yes, all this money.
All this money.
They have a...
Thank you, endowment.
What is the Harvard endowment?
How many billions of dollars?
38 billion dollars?
Now, they're the richest, but many have billions of dollars.
And there's still federal money?
See, you have to understand, the moment that there is federal money, there's federal control.
