Andrew Chapados hosts a Canada Day Special with Will Witt, Savanah Hernandez, and others, dissecting how progressive policies—like Canada’s conversion therapy law (up to 2 years in prison for dissenting parents)—mirror authoritarian tactics. Witt cites a BC case where a father was jailed for resisting his daughter’s gender transition, while Chapados warns of media suppression and ideological coercion, from NY’s Jefferson statue removal to rising youth mental health crises linked to LGBTQIA+ advocacy. They argue conservatives’ silence on these issues, even adopting trans flags, accelerates societal re-education, echoing Besmanov’s 1960s-era warnings. The pattern suggests dissent is criminalized as "hate speech" or "misinformation," forcing a leftward shift—unless ordinary people reclaim rights through everyday resistance.

Affirmation Risks in Transgender Community00:03:15
Welcome back to another very special Andrew says they're all special for you, aren't they?
Of course they are.
Now this week we had a big venue book for you, but things happened.
Canada Day happened.
The 4th of July, travel restrictions, people, you know, we have our problems.
So what we're going to do this week for you instead, we're going to put a little compilation episode for you.
Some of our most patriotic episodes with the most patriotic guests for Canada Day and the 4th of July.
You know them.
You love them all.
So please enjoy this very special episode of Andrew Says Patriot Edition.
You know, I don't think that it is.
I think that there are still times where there are a lot of young people going to, say, a public school or something and their parents taught them about Trump or Christianity or something like that.
And they go and they talk about it.
And yeah, they might be in some ways a pariah with some people that they know, but I don't think, I don't think we're in a totalitarian state or anything like that.
I want to talk about a recent video of Amal as I saw about trans ideology where she's going off about that.
And personally, I think conservatives have lost ground on this debate and they basically conceded the idea that this isn't, you know, that it is reality.
There's no longer the discussion that it's not reality and you're not basically adhering to somebody's fantasy.
And I wanted to talk about a quote that I wrote down from yours.
It said, affirmation of this identity is very harmful to mental health.
Can you expand on that, please?
Sure.
I mean, I do have my gripes with the conservative movement when it comes to transgenderism because they don't think they are having the discussions that need to be had and they're not having it in a way that is compassionate towards the transgender community.
I think we need to recognize that the people who identify with the transgender community truly identify with this.
They are truly experiencing body dysmorphia or they have been convinced of experiencing that.
But what you do by simply blindly affirming what they are and what gender they choose to be is you're actually harming these young people and adults and whoever is part of this community.
The rates of suicide within the transgender community, one of the smallest demographics of our population, are exponentially high when compared to other demographics.
So why are we not talking about that?
Clearly, our blind affirmation and our subscription to puberty blockers and hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery aren't that treatment is not working because looking at the studies, which there are very few that have been done and very few that have been done long term, that sort of affirmation, especially clinical and medical affirmation, is not changing the rates of attempted and successful suicide.
So if you truly care about trans people, if you are truly compassionate for the struggle that they are going through with their identity and who they believe themselves to be, you should look at treatment forms that are not having them killing themselves and committing suicide at the rate that they are doing currently.
Clearly, what you're doing is not working.
And we're hearing stories of teenagers that are going into clinics and expressing body dysmorphia and undergoing hormone therapy within a couple months of expressing that confusion.
That is not what should be happening.
Will, what do you think the hesitancy is on people willing people's willingness to talk about this?
You don't hear this discussed a lot in mainstream or alternative media besides Will and I'm all alive, if I may say so.
Why We Leave The Narrative00:05:23
Yeah, no, we are the only outlet.
So if you guys want to hear all about this stuff, make sure that you're tuned into our show.
Yeah, I mean, listen, we just saw the other day, this was maybe three days ago, there were Republicans on the house steps with masks on outside waving a trans flag.
What the hell are you doing, Republicans?
You're supposed to be Republicans.
You're supposed to be the Conservative Party.
And then you are abandoning your values.
Like, what are you doing?
The hesitancy to talk about these things is because these people are weak.
It's not because they don't know all the facts.
It's not because they don't have their wits about them.
And these people are smart.
They're in office.
They know what they're doing.
Many people are smart.
They're weak.
They are weak and will not go and talk about it because they're scared of what other people are going to think about them.
This is why the Republican Party in America is essentially dead because they are weak and cater to the left whatever they want them to do.
The people who are in the GOP in America care more about what the New York Times says about them, cares more about what the Washington Post says about them than what they're actually doing to help their constituents, the people who put them into office.
So, you know, all of these people who won't talk about it and dance around the issue, it's because you're weak.
And I am asking you right now that if you say you're a conservative and you believe in these things, stop being weak and actually stand up for the truth.
Stand up for what you know is right and say what is actually real.
Otherwise, we just keep losing more and more ground to the left.
And it's because of you.
You are to blame.
I definitely agree.
And it sounds like you've been watching a lot of Andrew says lately, so I can't disagree with any of that.
Every day, man.
Every day.
It's a once-a-week show, Will.
Stop with your lies.
No, I watch the same episode over and over every single day to prepare.
I get it.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaking of, you know, the culture getting away and being weak, the Thomas Jefferson statue in New York City Hall is being taken down or was just taken down.
Trump predicted this, by the way.
Where do you guys think the country is headed?
In which direction?
Are we blackpilling ourselves and saying it's unsavable?
Are we still trying to turn it around?
Are we seceding to more Republican states?
What's your opinion on this?
I always like to err on the side of things being salvageable.
So that's where my belief lies right now.
But I think it's a long fight.
I don't think people are quite as aware of how pervasive these problems are.
I know the wokeism in America has generally been growing, at least from what I've seen working on the left to being on the conservative side now.
America looks totally different from the America that it was five years ago.
And if we don't put a halt to this and start talking about it and teaching our history and teaching rightful history to Americans, it's not going to solve anything.
We're not going to get fixed.
There is a KGB defector by the name of Yuri Besmanov that I encourage everybody to look up and listen to because he stipulated that ideological subversion, sort of deviating from reality and changing everybody's perception of what's real, started back in the 1960s here in America.
We have completely educated a full generation since then.
So it's going to take deviating back to our true American values, our true history.
What is a biological male?
What is a biological female?
And teaching a whole new generation of that before a change is going to occur.
So it is a long, long battle, and people aren't ready for the exhaustion and the fight that it truly takes.
And they need to be.
Are you guys thinking about leaving California yet?
Will, I know I've heard you say things like Texas is going to be blue in five to ten years.
Is there going to be a point where you guys think about leaving?
Have you already thought about it?
What do you think about that?
I feel like living in California, I've used this analogy before, is like living in East Berlin and watching the Berlin Wall go up.
And right now we're kind of just looking at it like, oh, that's a weird wall.
And then by the time that the wall gets all the way built, it's too late.
It's too late.
So my advice to people who are in these places that are incredibly blue, especially the people who are struggling, which there are many in California, is to leave.
It's to leave and go to West Berlin.
Get over that wall before it's too late.
I think that's what people need to do.
I understand the stand and fight argument and trying to stay and fight, but it gets to a point where you can't do anything.
Okay, let's not kid ourselves.
There comes a point when it is too late for a certain place, right?
If you are in some battle hundreds of years ago and you lose a fortress and you don't have the men to retake it, you don't stupidly stay and fight.
You go back to another battleground or to another safehold to regather your troops, right?
To say that we just need to stay and fight for something that is dead makes no sense to me.
So, granted, Amel and I are still here.
We're figuring out plans and trying to see what can happen in the future.
You know, I'm not saying you need to leave right now and get like immediately, but think about it, because there comes a time when evil is too pervasive and too deep that you as an individual can no longer be surrounded by that.
It is toxic.
It is toxic waste to be surrounded by so much of this stuff in California.
I will add, though, yeah, don't be confused into the point that Will made about Texas being blue.
The wokeism and the leftism and that sort of organizing, that grassroots organizing, which the left is fantastic at, I know, because I did it, is happening in all those great states too.
When Evil Is Too Pervasive00:03:02
It's happening in Texas, it's happening in Tennessee, it's happening in Florida.
I came from a leftist organization in Florida, and that organization has only grown since I've left it.
So, it's going to be happening everywhere.
And I think if you are in a state that is not supporting your values, the most important thing you can do in the short term is build a small community of people that do or find a local government that does support your values, because at least that is something to find solace in and find community in.
I think part of the blame is the media's willingness to push things blatantly in one direction.
And what I'm talking about is the Rittenhouse case.
And without even getting into the specifics, they were able to get away with literally lying about laws that are on the books for a year.
They're able to get away with narratives.
I think it was the Telegraph in the UK that said he shot three black people.
And then CNN, only after it looks like they're going to get sued and he's acquitted, are they now backpedaling and starting to inject facts?
Oh, it turns out that this is what actually happened.
Do you think there's going to be any progression towards media accountability where they're not basically strangling the American viewer into thinking one way?
Do you think there's going to be any blowback?
Because I remember back in the day and really dating myself here, it seemed like after an election, if some certain journalists got it wrong, they were gone, you know?
But once Trump got elected, they couldn't really admit they were wrong.
Do you think we sort of gear back towards that?
Or are they just so dug in now, you guys, that they're never ever going to turn it around?
I think no.
I don't think that it will turn around.
I think that either they stick to their guns with being wrong all the time, which they are wrong all the time.
They either stick to that and never admit that they were wrong, or be destroyed.
I don't think that they will ever come and get a backbone.
Again, they have done too much.
It's like you commit enough evil acts.
You know, there comes a point where it's like, you know, can you really turn that around?
Can CNN really become a good publication?
I don't think so.
They're too terrible, okay?
They're literally too terrible.
The Washington Post, I mean, the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who has special interests.
I mean, you really think that's going to turn around because they got a couple facts wrong that don't really matter and no one's going to hold them accountable?
No.
They are either going to continue to do what they do to an even greater degree because they can, or they are going to absolutely implode and destroy themselves.
So those are the two options.
Well, the lockdown theme is a worldwide theme.
And so I think that that is dealing with something that goes beyond even the local government, the state government, or even the federal government.
I mean, it's the CDC, I think, for the most part influencing that policy.
Maybe Fauci at the NINHIH or whatever it is.
But I think that for states, when you look at Florida or you look at Texas or some of the other ones that have stayed open, like a South Dakota, that is something that should be looked at.
You should be saying, hey, here are the states that have opened, here are the states that haven't.
Van Jones On Racism00:07:18
And then you can do a compare and contrast.
Notice that the Democrat states like New York and Illinois and California had to have hundreds of billions of dollars of bailout money in the stimulus bill because their states were collapsing.
But the lockdown thing, I mean, that's really a worldwide theme that is just, I believe, a drill being run worldwide right now, just worldwide government, global government.
We're all experiencing that right now.
So I think that that's more of the issue that we're dealing with here.
But as far as most other issues, I think that the state is probably the answer when trying to get the federal government off your back.
And what you see in Florida and South Dakota and Texas kind of rejecting the masks, rejecting the lockdowns.
I think that that's kind of been a key factor.
Oh, and you're getting dangerous here.
You're making too much sense.
We're going to have to pull the plug in this area.
I think the media has a big role to play in this.
And I often ask people if they think a lot of the members, I'm talking the CNNs, the MSNBCs, are they bad at their job or are they just lying?
So I often ask that question.
I want to ask that to you, but let me play an interaction you had once with somebody from CNN, Van Jones.
And I want to juxtapose that with him crying on election night.
So let's see if we can play that one.
Here's what I believe about Donald Trump.
I believe that Donald Trump is not a racist.
I believe that Donald Trump is worse than a racist.
Now, let me tell you why I think he's worse than a racist.
A racist is someone who believes that his group is superior to another group.
That's a racist.
Now, that's pretty bad.
Hey, how you doing, brother?
Good to see you.
Yeah, man.
That's pretty bad to think that your group is good and another group is bad.
That's horrible.
Who's Donald Trump's group?
But Trump is worse than that.
Trump is a racial opportunist.
He actually does.
Oh, no, Oh, no.
You want it.
You want it.
You don't want it.
I think you're a racial opportunist.
Maybe he's a little bit.
Here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
This is why I wanted to walk away because I didn't know if you were the man who had enough character to listen to my answer.
So it's a character test for you.
I'm sorry.
You're bad.
No, no.
I'm saying it's a test.
We don't know yet.
We don't know yet.
So now, you ask the question, is Donald Trump a racist?
I say Donald Trump is not a racist.
I say he is worse than a racist.
He's a racial opportunist.
In other words, he uses other people's racial anxieties, other people's possible racial antipathies, or just discomfort.
And he plays with it for his own purposes, which means he doesn't think that his group is better than anybody else.
He thinks everybody's stupid.
He's playing all of us.
That's what I think about Donald Trump.
It's well, it's easier to be a parent this morning.
It's easier to be a dad.
It's easier to tell your kids character matters.
It matters.
Tell them the truth matters.
Being a good person matters.
And it's easier for a whole lot of people.
If you're Muslim in this country, you don't have to worry if the president doesn't want you here.
So and try to hold back your tears on this one.
On one hand, he's joking around with you.
He's, you know, Trump is just a racial grifter.
He'll give credit to Kushner and Trump other times.
But other times, you know, everything's a white lash and he's crying about how tough it is to be a parent in America.
Is there any way to determine whether or not these people are just bad or at their jobs or just lying?
I think that it's a case-by-case thing, honestly.
I think that you have to go case by case when dealing with these media people.
Like, for example, Anderson Cooper, I think, is just a known liar.
That one I think many people would have to have accepted by now.
But, you know, when you talk about Van Jones, it's rare.
Now, here's the credit that I will give to Van Jones because I've had the opportunity to meet face-to-face almost every CNN host, now that I'm thinking about it.
Tapper, Lemon, Blitzer, Cooper, and Jones, I guess he's not a host, but Van was the only one that actually talked to me.
Every other one refuses to talk to me.
They all had security come brush me away.
Tapper was probably the meanest of all of them, but there was an energy to Anderson Cooper.
Let me just tell you, like our cell phone equipment stopped working.
But anyway, I'll stop right there.
I'll stop right there.
So here's the thing.
With Van Jones, you can tell that there's a realness to the guy.
There's a, you know, he can be real with you.
You could probably sit down at a bar and enjoy a cold beverage with him, and it wouldn't be such a bad experience.
But he's obviously exaggerating his emotions on TV.
He's obviously selling to the audience.
He's been caught on Project Veritas tape admitting that he knew Russian collusion was a fake story, but yet they ran with that for three years.
So he doesn't have the most integrity, I would say, when it comes to being a reporter or a newsman, but he's smart enough to get by.
He's smart enough to do what he needs to do to be successful on TV.
He came out of the Obama administration.
He's obviously a smart guy.
But the funniest thing about that clip has to be the blatant hypocrisy of Van Jones saying Trump is a racial opportunist when that's everything CNN is.
I mean, everything he just said is exactly what the liberal media does, whether it's George Floyd or Jacob Blake or Michael Brown and all the big lies that they tell.
So, I mean, that's just incredible hypocrisy there from Van Jones.
But I think Van Jones is probably the better way to describe his situation would be he's just, he's kind of an actor.
He's more of an actor on TV.
He's smart enough that he knows what to say, what not to say.
And so he's been successful on CNN coming out of the Obama administration.
And he knew Russian collusion was fake news, but he still talked about it.
So that's kind of one example of just Van Jones.
Now, can we take any merit in watching the CNNs or the MSNBCs, or maybe your favorite, The Young Turks, I'd imagine, is probably your favorite.
Or should we just watch them to see what the other side is saying?
I don't watch a single second of the Young Turks.
I do.
I do.
I don't see any.
I don't see any perceived value coming out of anything they do.
I mean, I think there's maybe some inherent value in watching CNN or MSNBC or some of the mainstream news that I just monitor just to monitor what their narratives are and to kind of see where they're trying to go, where they're going to go next, what they're saying, because you have to counter their lies.
That's part of the job now of being a reporter and telling the truth and just countering the mainstream lies, countering the mainstream narrative.
And so when you can kind of put your finger on the pulse of what they're going to do, you can kind of see what they're going to do next and see what the deception is.
So I think there's some value in monitoring that, at least from where I sit at a news desk.
But yeah, the Young Turks will never get a second of my time.
I wish they would actually like debate us.
I mean, that would be fun.
That would actually be something that would probably get millions of views, but for some reason, they never have any interest in that.
I think the Alex and Chank interaction is one of my favorite videos of all time.
Who is that that spits on him?
Was that Jimmy Doer who spit on Alex Jones?
Level Playing Field00:02:15
I think it was, yeah.
And the funny thing is, that video and the Van Jones video, they were both from the Republican National Convention in 2016.
All those videos, they had millions of views banned from YouTube.
Can't even, so I don't know how you guys found him.
Good job.
Something I've noticed about everything that's happened here over the last 18 months is the people who've become popular, like yourself, like the Chris Skies, I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, that have just launched.
And even if they weren't taken off social media, like you were for a while, my Chris Sky has been, their star power would be even bigger.
Have you noticed a swing in a lot of people in what they're willing to listen to and who they're willing to hold up as, you know, like a celebrity?
Has it kind of leveled the playing field?
Whereas, like, like you mentioned, if you're just shilling for something, if you're just, and for those who may not know what that means, that means you're going out of your way to promote something just for the money, you don't really believe in it.
Does this level the playing field for media outlets and celebrities?
People would normally listen to them, even doctors and nurses.
People aren't trusting anything anymore.
Have you noticed that?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think pretty much anybody who sticks their neck out.
Well, I guess I should actually start here.
Like, I went to the rallies and I tried to talk to some of these guys.
Like, I talked to Chris, I talked to Vlad, hugs over a mask.
And these guys are kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
Because everybody approaches them.
And it's like, to be associated with these people, you have to stick your neck out and do something courageous.
And as soon as I did, I was just welcomed in with open arms by all these people.
And it's not that they were trying to co-op on what I was doing.
They were like, yes, there it is.
It's not me.
It's not the barbecue restaurant.
It's courage.
When they see that and recognize it, and you elevate yourself to that level, then you're in that playing field.
And it doesn't matter who you are.
It could be a guy like Chris Skye, who's, I don't really know what his background is, but he's gained a lot of notoriety in this because of simple things.
Just say no.
Showing people how to assert their rights.
Like, that's so invaluable what he's done.
Showing people, hey, here's how you walk in a store and claim medical exemption.
Here's how you get on an airplane.
You got to get the medical note.
And he's just showing people, that's it, going about his life just like he was before.
And he does some speaking and media engagements and stuff like that, but really all he's done is live his life as normal and show everybody, here's how you can continue to do it.
Because that's how you fight this.
You just live like you were back in 2019.
Showing People How to Assert Their Rights00:03:01
So whether it's so long ago.
It feels like it feels like it's been an eternity of this new normal.
So same thing, the pastors, the business owners, my friend Vlad hugs over masks.
All these people have done is said, I got to do something.
I've got to take a stand here.
So you don't have to be some type of spectacular person.
You don't need to have three restaurants to be the pastor of a church.
Anybody can get involved with this at your level.
Like, what does that mean to you in your life?
Is that you at your work, speaking your truth, talking to people, informing them, talking to management, starting a class action lawsuit, writing letters into the management?
No, we're not all going to just, you know, roll over and take this experimental gene therapy.
Everybody has a role that they can play in this.
It's just finding out what that is.
And instead of looking at everybody else for the answers, it's like, what can I personally do?
I agree.
It's up to regular people and regular citizens to make a stand.
When it's gone this long, I ask people who are saying, oh, it's because of people like you who are perpetuating this.
I say, how long is it going to take for you to speak out?
People who are afraid to speak out because of their jobs or whatever, how long?
Ten years, five years until it becomes not taboo enough to speak out about it.
I don't know.
I get a little bit frustrated.
I'm sure you do with some of those people.
I want to get to maybe some more fun stuff because it has somehow splashed onto me because as you're aware, Rebel News had an Adamson barbecue t-shirt and people would be saying all these conspiracies about Adam Skelly.
Adam Skelly is a psyop.
Adam Skelly's Illuminati.
And I was talking to a person one day, or I wasn't even talking to them.
I had spoken to a person who has told me these things.
And I was like, I don't think you realize it's not that complicated.
But then it somehow splashed onto me when this same person started posting things that the Adamson's, the Adam Skelly barbecue t-shirt specifically uses specific letters that relates to numerology because these numbers add up and they mean this.
And I was like, I was in the room when the t-shirt was thought about.
There wasn't any Satanism going on.
What do you mean?
What was all that?
Those devil statues are not.
Listen, we're remodeling.
No, people are going to clip that, you realize, and say, what do you, do you say anything to these people?
Are there some more hilarious ones that you've heard?
Oh, yeah, like constantly.
Like at least a couple times a week, I get a message or something that's like someone all smuggly high and mighty calling me some type of controlled opposition.
Like, oh, how was the Masonic Temple last night?
It's so funny.
There's one website where someone put actually a lot of effort and care into this, and they said, well, he's 33 years old.
So, and that's, I think, I don't know much about the Masons, but I think there's 33 levels that are exposed.
So, because I'm 33, I must be also by nature a 33-degree Freemason.
And then it was, well, one day I was wearing a red checkered shirt, and the next day I was wearing a blue checkered shirt.
Conversion Therapy's Hidden Dangers00:11:25
So, that's showing the polarity.
And then the checkers are like the Mason tiles on the Canadians are guilty of this then if they're wearing multiple checkered shirts.
No, and it's like, maybe you should come to my house because actually the simplest answer is I only have three shirts.
And I'm like, the one I'm wearing today is dirty from yesterday.
I'm more of a Scientology guy.
You guys can say I'm OT3 in Scientology.
That's some, it's crazy stuff.
And even from the day you were arrested, people said the wink and the smile you gave to the camera when you said, I love you, was a was a message as well to the Illuminati and that stuff.
Oh, I was saying I love you to my reptilian handlers or something like that.
That's funny.
That's what we're going for here, I think.
Now, can I get a little dark for a minute?
How dark?
Sometimes I wonder, maybe do those people have the right idea?
Because who are we trying to save here?
It feels like there's lots of people who are on side with us, but the rallies, it's all the same people.
It's all the same faces for, you know, for a year and a half.
Other people aren't getting involved.
A lot of people seem pretty brainwashed.
Maybe like they don't have the cognitive ability to really see what's going on here.
Maybe is that the right side to be on?
This is, you're just taking, you're just taking liberties now, and people are going to make clips and be like, see, I told you.
Did you see the, I think it was San Francisco Chronicle.
They wrote an op-ed article saying why the state of California should be able to take your children away.
And it's just like, it could be a joke.
You know, that's why like I don't even know anymore, like Babylon B stuff.
That could be like a Babylon B article, but there's literally like psycho-fringe liberals writing articles like, hey, the government should take your kids away.
And this is why not to get on a soapbox real quick, but I think Republicans, conservatives in Canada, like they should just be honest and straightforward because this is not a popular issue.
Even recent polling, I saw a lot of Republicans like, oh, you know, 50-something percent of Democrats agree with authoritarianism.
And that's crazy, but that means that like 50% don't.
You know, so this is a huge issue to gain a lot of voters.
They're going crazy.
It's not normal or popular.
And, you know, a lot of people only know certain things they hear on CNN or Fox News and they're always fighting about the wall or something.
And there's a place for that.
But I think this, this stuff is like a real wedge issue that they could win on.
So it's like, highlight these people writing articles.
Like five years ago, they would have been taken for evaluation, but now they have, you know, puffy jobs at like mainstream media conglomerates.
That's a good perspective.
Unfortunately.
For sure.
I want to, I keep seeing, and the reason I brought up Canadian stuff earlier is partially because I keep seeing like some of you guys and then other people as well, I think they're waking up, you know, to the question of Canada lately, whether it's, you know, the Quebec fining people for being unvaccinated or something like that.
But we also had this conversion therapy law passed.
I don't know how much you guys have read about this, but I think the main problem here, I think, is when people hear conversion therapy, what goes in their mind is like a sort of like 1960s electroshock therapy.
They're beating you at a camp or something.
But it's actually not that at all.
And I think there's an article we can pull up from CTV that basically explains it.
It's a little bit.
It's a left-leaning outlet up here, but explains a little bit of what it is.
And they get into how it's illegal.
I think it was 30 days after his passing.
It was just a couple weeks ago.
Here we go.
It's now illegal.
Scroll down to the middle, I think.
Conversion therapy.
I want to blow that up a bit for viewers south of the border.
Conversion therapy, as it's called, seeks to change a person's sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity.
That's the key thing, or gender identity to cisgender.
It can include seeking to repress someone's non-heterosexual attractin' or repressing a person's gender expression or non-cisgender identity.
So I think we probably, all three of us probably agree that like you shouldn't like try to change a person for who they are.
But in terms of like saying maybe you're not a different gender to, I don't know, like a five-year-old.
Maybe you're not a bear.
Maybe you're not like a boy if you were born a girl.
Maybe that's like that's going too far.
And Matt Walsh, to circle back what I was saying, he tweeted a part of the actual bill there.
And I just wanted to go over a few of those thoughts.
Click on that image for me.
Oh, I guess we're cutting.
There we go.
Changing sexual orientation to heterosexual.
Change a person's identity, gender identity to cisgender, change a person's gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth.
So you can't convince, I guess, a child to conform to the sex assigned them at birth, gender identity, gender expression.
Now, this comes with a penalty of up to two years in prison.
And this goes back to like when Jordan Peterson was saying years ago, I think it was 2017, that this sort of stuff would soon be used against us.
And everybody was like, no, don't be such a bigot.
Do you guys see this as a big of a problem as I think that it is?
Or am I talking to myself again here?
I'll be quick because I know.
Yeah.
I was going to say, I know Savannah could go off on this.
She's an expert, but go off.
You know, to be brief, Jordan Peterson was right.
The slippery slope was real.
As far as the gender stuff, they could just arrest you if you're.
If you say your wife wants to change the gender of your kid and you say no, now you could go to prison.
That's so dangerous.
But even just on the gay stuff, even if it wasn't, that I think it's messed up because all of society is trying to make people gay all the time.
You know, like they're trying to make kids gay, adults gay, tell you you're gay, you're bi.
So it's just not fair that they could, you know, try to make everyone gay but then a straight person couldn't do the opposite.
I mean, it's, it's all bad, but definitely the gender stuff's the worst.
100, especially because we're, targeting our children with that.
And if you look at the definition of this bill, what does conversion therapy, what can that even be defined as?
Okay, you have a son and then you go buy your son a bear and then you put him in blue clothes.
Is that considered conversion therapy?
Because you're, you know, making him convinced that he's a boy, because that's what his gender actually is.
So we're living through such an insane time where we're targeting the next generation.
And why are they being targeted?
Yuri Besmanov, who was a KGB defector and propagandist expert talked about how to subvert an entire country.
To subvert an entire uh, you know people.
You would have to target the younger generation and then, within a 15 to 20 year time span, you would see what that actually looks like.
You would see the, the uh, I guess, re-education Education of the children and of that next generation.
And that's what we're seeing right now with these kids, with how confused that they're being with their gender, with just everything we're seeing in our universities.
It's absolutely disgusting to me.
And children shouldn't be targeted.
If you want to be gay, you're 18 plus, go ahead and knock yourself out, but stop pushing it down everyone else's throats and stop targeting kids with this.
It's disgusting.
What would you say to somebody?
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
I was going to say, what would you say to somebody, Savannah, that says, you know, I believe my child, because a man in British Columbia has already been arrested for this last year for not adhering to his daughter's gender transition.
I'm sure I'm getting a bit of it wrong, but he went to, he served jail time.
They had a whole media embargo on it.
You couldn't talk to it.
What would you say to somebody who's like, you know, my child who's eight believes that they're a girl.
They believe strongly in it.
I want to just, you know, support them and let them be happy.
I would say to that, who is your child being influenced by and surrounded by?
And, you know, we can look at the education system.
We can look at our schools.
If you look at the percentages of children who now identify as the LGBTQIA, you know, whatever sexuality, you'll see that there's been a huge uptick in that because they are being influenced by their teachers, by their fellow peers, by the media, by cartoons for crying out loud.
So I would ask that parent, you know, who's really influencing your child here?
And also, too, I mean, not everybody is religious, but I will point out that that is why it's important to have some basis of religion.
And that is why it's important to, you know, have God as a part of your life, if you will.
I'm a Christian person.
I genuinely see that we've taken God out of society.
And look at where we've gotten to.
We now have children being raised as babies.
They're super confused.
Suicide rates are going up.
Depression rates are going up.
Drug use is going up.
And this is just supposed to be normal.
And we're propping up mental illness in society.
Anomaly, where do you see this leading?
What do you think the ramifications are as a society or an entire country when this stuff is being pushed?
So I think it's pretty obvious that it's being pushed really hard.
I think it's already there.
So now you could go to prison.
Like, you know, if your teacher, their kid's teacher is six, seven years old, she is far left and convinces him that he's something because he hears it six, eight hours a day.
And you're the parent, you're supposed to be able to, you know, take your kid out of school, say that you want a different teacher.
This is what parents do.
They're trying to take the parent out and then they could arrest you.
They could steal your kid.
And this is so dangerous.
It's already there.
And where they're going is they just want to make it illegal for anybody to disagree with their authoritarianism.
Like in America, the Rogan stuff, it's really just a way to say if anybody opposes our regime, big pharma, big government, you know, you are misinformation.
You are hate speech.
You are, you know, I guess like LGBT offensive, whatever they call it, homophobic.
They're finding ways to put this in legislation to really just take your kids, stop you from ever questioning everything they're doing from forced masking, forced injections, you know, forced LGBT, like they can force it down your throat, but you can't do the opposite or even defend yourself.
And I just pray that, you know, conservatives here in America and Canada get smart because I see this thing happening where they end up going further left to try to appease the middle ground.
And, you know, things that say like Bryson Gray, who I do the song with, he has Christian opinions like a lot of people.
And he's now, you know, not allowed to play at certain events.
And they kind of blacklist him in some ways because they find it too offensive.
But his stance was a Hillary Clinton stance in 2000 and an Obama stance.
So it's like he's, you know, they're now further left than Obama and Hillary used to be.
And they think that this is a way to win, but it's really not.
And I think even a lot of liberal and progressive parents are starting to realize how crazy the school system's getting and how abusive it is and how creepy it is.
And it's starting to wake a lot of people up.
So I pray that conservatives see this for what it really is and get smart because, you know, I hate to be a downer.
I'm a very optimistic person, but I do believe that they want to put people in prison for a lot of things for literally just being moral, honest, and a good parent.
And they're going to keep passing laws like this to try to basically make it illegal to dissent from the authoritarian regime.
And I mean, it's already slowly happening, but once again, the slippery slope is exactly correct.
Christian pastors, Jordan Peterson, 100% right.
And this is just further proof.
That was a very special episode of Andrew Says, very patriotic for Canada Day in the 4th of July.
You like that pause?
Canada Day.
It's always tough to say it.
David Menzies wants me to say Dominion Day, but I'm never going to do it.
But I digress.
You know, each and every Canada Day, we try to send rebel news personnel out all across the world, all across the continent, but we can't do that right now.
Why?
Because we still have restrictions in this country.
