1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: We need to find the routes of our favorite trucker, 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: because when I go on vacation, I could just follow him. 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Whenever he pulls into a truck stop, I could pull them, 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: pull the bugs off his radiator. They're already cooked. You 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: know how much I could save on meals. 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you'd have to fight all the lot lizards 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: trying to you know. His truck pulls in and they 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: all kind of running. It's like, you know, ants swarming 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: around something that they found the day days. What are you? 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: What do you? Why are you putting your head in 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: your hands? What? Why? Because I can picture it. I 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: thought you. I thought you were putting your head in 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: your hands because you thought I was being offensive to 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: a goober, And I'm like, really, you know that that's 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: what's going on. He pulls in and they're like, oh, 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: here he is. They all come running beating down his door. 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: Oh no, say, there is no segue here at all. 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: Eighteen years old, a freshman at Loyal University in Chicago 19 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: from New York, obviously chasing a dream. Well, you know 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: eighteen year olds were supposed to do five days ago 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: in March nineteen, just after one in the morning, she 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: and a group of friends walked out to a pier 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: near Rogers Park. This is a Lectuore Drive Chicago. They 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: went out because they went to see the northern lights. 25 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: She never made it home. A masked man ambush the group. 26 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: Her name was Sheridan Gorman. As Sheridan turned to run, 27 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: he shot her once in the back and she died 28 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: on the pier this past weekend. Over the weekend, the 29 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: Chicago cops arrested Jose Medina Medina. He's a twenty five 30 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: year old dirt bag, a citizen of Venezuela. Now. According 31 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: to the Department of Homeland Security, Medina Medina was a 32 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: at I'm not being trying to be funny, and that's 33 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: his name, Medina's hyphen Medina. He was apprehended at the 34 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: southern border in twenty twenty three. Thank you Joe Biden, 35 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: Thank you Alejandro Mayorcis, and then he was released and 36 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: he is now charged with first degree murder. He apparently 37 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: didn't even make the first court appearance Monday because he's 38 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: been quarantined in a Chicago hospital because he is suspected 39 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: of having tuberculosis. This guy's been running around the country, 40 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: or at least around Cook County or Chicago with tuberculosis 41 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: with the gun is has placed a detainer on him. 42 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: They've asked, Chicago, would you please keep him behind bars? Well, 43 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: we'll see how that goes. Now. Now here's where I 44 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: want you to pay attention, because what happened after Sheridan 45 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: Gorman was murdered tells you everything that you need to 46 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: know about the political culture that made her murder possible. 47 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: The Chicago Sun Times ran its initial headline and it 48 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: read wrong place, wrong time, wrong place, wrong time, wrong time, 49 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: as if an eighteen year old girl being shot in 50 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: the back on a public peer was somehow her fault 51 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: for being there, as if the only lesson here is 52 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: maybe don't go outside at one in the morning, rather 53 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: than maybe don't release violent criminals into the country who 54 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 2: have an infectious disease tuberculosis and then shield them from 55 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: federal law enforcement officers. I have to say that Sheridan 56 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Gorman's family one my prayers got to that family, But 57 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: they responded with more grace than the Chicago Sun Times 58 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: ever thought about. They said, and I'm quoting them directly, 59 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: what happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to the idea 60 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: of someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time. 61 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: And then they called it what it was, a violent 62 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: and preventable act. Preventable, preventable. That word ought to haunt 63 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: every elected official in the state of Illinois. And yet 64 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: where are those officials Chicago? Older woman Marie hadn't all 65 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: the time? Right there? 66 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: They go out and look here, they walk around through that. 67 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 3: The kids were out doing normal, normal things people do 68 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 3: in the neighborhood. And it sounds like this might have 69 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: been a wrong place, wrong time, running into a person 70 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: who had a gun. They might have startled this person 71 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: at the end of the year unintentionally. But that's that's 72 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: all the time, right And they go out on the 73 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: pier they walk around so that. 74 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: Hm, mind startled somebody? What's a gun? What's what's a 75 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: foreign national in the country illegally dealing with a gun? 76 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: And by the way, for those of you who follow 77 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: taxpayer relief shots, she was shot in the back, technically 78 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: in the neck. She was taught shot directly in the neck. 79 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: It's pretty bad, isn't it. That's what she called Alderman. 80 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: Let's go to Governor. Ye's gonna body shaming. Let's go 81 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: to J. D. Pritzker at six am. Comedience. 82 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 4: Well, here I am on the path on the lake 83 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: front at six am on Monday, and we had a 84 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 4: lot of people running having a great time. Okay, it 85 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 4: doesn't feels like a hellhole here. 86 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: In fact, everybody's having a great. 87 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 4: Time and enjoying themselves. So I don't know who in 88 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: Washington thinks that Chicago is some sort of hellthhold, but. 89 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: You may need to look inward. Did you catch that? 90 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: Did you catch what time he was there? Oh? Yeah, 91 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: he s at six am on a Monday on Monday. 92 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: Go ahead, try it at the two am on a Saturday. Now, 93 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: let me tell you what is not happening in Chicago 94 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: right now. WGN, the city's flagship news station, has published 95 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: exactly four articles about Sheridan Gorman's murder. WTTW, Chicago's PBS affiliate, 96 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: zero not one story. So we have a young American 97 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: woman who is executed, executed on a public late front 98 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: by an illegal alien who was caught at the border, 99 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: released and never removed, and the public broadcasting out in 100 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: Chicago can't find a single column inch to give her. 101 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: That's not an accident, that is an editorial choice. Because 102 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: the uncomfortable truth is Chicago's media, Chicago's politicians don't want 103 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: you to sit with, and that is that Jose Medina. 104 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: Medina should never have been in that city. He was 105 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: caught at the border. He was supposed to be removed, 106 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: but Illinois so called Trust Act bars the local cops 107 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Chicago has spent years, 108 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: years proud of being a sanctuary city, proud of the policy, 109 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: proud of defying federal law, proud of the politics. Well, 110 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: here's the result of Democrat politics. The Gorman family set 111 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: up plainly. When systems fail, whether there were released decisions, 112 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: lack of coordination, or unbelieves to act, the consequences are 113 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: not abstract. They are real. In our case, they are permanent, permanent. 114 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: An eighteen year old girl who wanted to photograph the 115 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: northern Northern lights is murdered in the back and Chicago politicians, Democrats, 116 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: by the way, they don't want you to say anything. 117 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: That's a choice. 118 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Michael. 119 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 5: We were watching a cooking show the other day and 120 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 5: one of the contests was sustainability, and they actually had. 121 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: To use bugs in this cooking show. 122 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 5: And this man made a quail which had an ant rub. 123 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 5: It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. They 124 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 5: all ate it and said it was great. I just 125 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 5: you're so right. It's a cultural saying, we don't need 126 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 5: to eat ants in the United States. 127 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: I'm done. Well, not only do we not need to 128 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: eat ants in the United States, but you don't need 129 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: to take a perfectly good quail and do an ant 130 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: rub on it. It sounds kind of perverted. Anyway, Hey, 131 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: can I get an ant rub? Like? Can I get 132 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: an ant rub? Jamni Christmas? There was a massive explosion 133 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. A diesel 134 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 2: hydrotreater unit. Those can produce this one in I guess, 135 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: can produce about forty seven thousand barrels a day of 136 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: diesel fuel, you know that fuel that moves every truck, 137 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: every train, every piece of commercial freight in this country. 138 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 2: It went up in a fireball visible for miles. Seven 139 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy workers shelter in place for the whole 140 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: west side of the city. Highway shut down for twelve hours. 141 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: The official early word from the county sheriff probably a 142 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: heater unit mouth function because in an industrial accident and 143 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: industrial accidents happen, and they do happen. Refineries are extraordinarily complex, 144 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: high pressure, high temperature environments. The Gulf Coast corridor has 145 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 2: seen dozens of significant incidents over the years, so I 146 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: want to be precise with you. There is as of 147 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: right now, no confirmed evidence of terrorism. Federal investigators, however, 148 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: are on the scene. To let them do their work. Okay, 149 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: but let's slow down, and I want to ask you 150 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: to think carefully because the context surrounding this explosion is 151 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: something that we can't just set aside. We are three 152 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: weeks into an active military conflict with Iran. In that 153 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: three weeks, Iranian drones and missiles has struck the Saudi 154 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,119 Speaker 2: Aramco complex in Saudi Arabia, one of the largest refineries 155 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: on Earth. They hit Cutter's LNG infrastructure. They struck a 156 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: Kuwaiti refinery. They have targeted United Arab immerates, fuel facilities 157 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: and tankers that are transiting the straight of Hermas. Iran 158 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: has spent the last twenty one days doing one thing 159 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: with remarkable consistency, going after energy infrastructure. Now. Shortly before 160 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: the Port Arthur explosion, an account called Alhiba flagged as 161 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: having an IRGC Athlete affiliated Association posted a threat directed 162 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: at the Motiva shell Refinery Import Arthur. The Motiva refinery, 163 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: not Valero. Motiva. The Motiva shell plant is the largest 164 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: refinery in North America. It's about I think about a 165 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 2: mile away, and immediately after the Valero explosion, that account 166 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 2: wiped its entire feed. Now, one energy analyst that I 167 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: respect has raised the theory does somebody confuse the two 168 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: facilities and hit the wrong target. I don't know, and 169 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: neither do these energy analysts, and frankly there's anybody else 170 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: outside the federal investigation that is presumably now underway. What 171 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 2: I do know is this, and this is part that 172 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: matters for how you think about everything going forward. We 173 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: spent twenty five years since September eleventh, congratulating ourselves on 174 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 2: preventing another major attack on American soil. And it's been 175 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: extraordinary work that we've done. But our critical infrastructure, which 176 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: includes refineries, has always been a soft underbelly and it 177 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: is part of the own. And we're in a shooting 178 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 2: war with a state sponsor of terrorism that once and 179 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: is striking similar facilities elsewhere. Let the FEDS investigate. Just 180 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: don't be shocked. 181 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 5: Michael, Should I just give my kids along with their 182 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 5: chicken nuggets some of the mealworms that I give the 183 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 5: chicken that we have in the backyard. 184 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way to you know, stretch your grocery budget. 185 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: Just sprinkle it in or maybe fry it in the 186 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: meal you know, can you kind of pound it into 187 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: a flower of some sort and then do it that way? 188 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: Chicken nuggets with meal worm coating, Mama's fried chicken. Nothing 189 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: like it, Nothing like it, just like mother used to 190 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: make it. Exactly. Let me give you a number. Three 191 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: three years in a row. The Colorado Pullup Bureaus had 192 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: the chance, a simple, clear, and a morally unambiguous chance 193 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 2: to say that if you rape a child in this state, 194 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 2: you're going to go to prison, not probation prison, and 195 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: three years in a row. The Colorado Pullup Bureau has 196 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: said no. Let that sink in. Send the bill TEX 197 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: one eleven titled and I want you to hear the 198 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 2: title Protections against Child Rape. That was the name of 199 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: the bill. And on Wednesday, March eighteen, four members of 200 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to kill it. Four Democrats, 201 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: Adrian Benevide benevid is Nick Henrickson, Katie Wallace, Mike Weisman. 202 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: The vote was four to three. Done dead for the 203 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: third consecutive year. Now here's what you need to understand 204 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: about current Colorado law, because I want this to land 205 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: properly as you need to hear it right now today, 206 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: if you are convicted of sexually assaulting a child in Colorado, 207 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: a judge can sentence you to probation, not prison. Probation, 208 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: you walk out of the courtroom, you go home, live 209 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: in a neighborhood, possibly near children. Now, Republican represent a 210 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: Brandy Bradley, one of the bill's sponsors, put it plainly. 211 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: Quote in our state, in Colorado, you can rate multiple 212 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: children as long as it's only one time each and 213 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: receive probation. Close quote. Listen to that again. Let it settle. 214 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: In our state, in Colorado, you can rate multiple children 215 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: as long as it's only one time each and receive probation. Now, 216 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: and I want to be fair, because well, I just 217 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: want to be fair. The opposition had an argument. They 218 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: said that this bill quote ties the hands of judges 219 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: close quote, that it removes judicial discretion, that it does 220 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: not account for cases involving teenagers or some sort of 221 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: nuanced circumstance. Now, that's the argument, and I'll grant you 222 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: this much, mandatory minimums. That's a serious policy tool, and 223 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: it does deserve serious debate. But here's the problem with 224 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: that argument. In this specific context, we're not talking about shoplifting, 225 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: and we're not even talking about a bar fight or 226 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: maybe a drug offense where rehab and circumstances genuinely vary. 227 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: We're talking about the rape of a child, and the 228 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: Colorado Politbureau, for three years running, has decided that judicial 229 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: discretion is more important than a guaranteed consequence for that 230 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: particular act three times. Now, let's go back to the 231 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: argument about well, you're gonna take away you're gonna tie 232 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: the hands of judges there. You know, I've I've been 233 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: generally opposed to the federal mandatory minimum sentence guidelines because 234 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: I think the judges ought to have some discretion. But 235 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: I've come to the conclusion that the minimum is a 236 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: decision that is established in a representative republic, a constitutional republic, 237 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 2: where we say, yes, the judicial branch is independent, but 238 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: that we believe there are certain circumstances where there is 239 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 2: a floor, there's a bare minimum. The bare minimum in 240 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: Colorado is probation. So you sexually assault a child, and 241 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: that bare minimum is probation. Now, I mean you go 242 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 2: to trial, you're found guilty, and for whatever crazy reason, 243 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 2: the judge decides and let's just say it's a seventeen 244 00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: year old kid, my probation. I think a seventeen year 245 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: old who sexually assaults a child ought to do some 246 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: sort of jail time, not probation, because we all know 247 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: what probation is. Do you leave the courthouse and you 248 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 2: go home, you report to a probation officer because they're 249 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: gonna do a background check, they're gonna do, you know, 250 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: a home check, They're gonna do all these disinvestigation, and 251 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: then a probation officers are gonna decide what you can 252 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 2: and cannot do, how often you report blah blah blah. 253 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a minimum enough. Now here's what's 254 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: even more remarkable about the committee that killed this bill. 255 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: Sensor Nick Henderson. How do you pronounce his name? One 256 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: of the four votes that bury protections for child rape 257 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: victims is also or was also the lead sponsor of 258 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 2: a separate bill to decriminalize prostitution in Colorado. Now, Both 259 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: bills went through the same committee. So the same people 260 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 2: who could not find the moral clarity the mandate prison 261 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: time for child rapists were simultaneously working to deep criminalize 262 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: prostitution in Colorado. Now you can make of that whatever 263 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: you want to, I already have. This was not some 264 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 2: radical bill. It had bipartisan sponsorship, a Republican Senator, a 265 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: Republican representative, and a Democrat Representative Regina English, who co 266 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: sponsored it. One Democrat on the committee, Senator Dylan Roberts, 267 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 2: cross party lines to vote to keep it alive. So 268 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: this wasn't even a pure partisan fight. At the sponsorship level. 269 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 2: Four Democrats decided against the will of their own colleague 270 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: and from colleagues across the aisle, that that bill should die. 271 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: Let's go back to twenty twenty four. A Jefferson County 272 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: investigator testified before a House committee that seventy three percent 273 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: of arrested child predators in Jefferson County alone received probation 274 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: or deferred sentences between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. 275 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: Seventy three percent. Now that's not a judicial discretion success story. 276 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 2: That's the system that has decided in practice, if not 277 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: in principle that child predators are just simply not a 278 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: priority in Colorado. The bill failed eight to three in 279 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, it failed six to five in twenty 280 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: twenty five, and it failed four to three this year, 281 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 2: the narrowest margin yet and the narrowest version of the bill. 282 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: Yet they keep trimming it, they keep compromising, they keep 283 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: coming back, and four Democrats keep killing it. Theirfore names 284 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 2: you should remember the bit of bit of it is 285 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 2: be in a vide z bene Adz, Henrickson, Wallace and Wiseman. 286 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to tell you what to think, 287 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: but because elections have consequences, and the people who represent 288 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: you in that building are making choices in your name, 289 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: with your tax dollars in a state where you're raising 290 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: your children, and they're entitled to the to own those 291 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: choices publicly. Colorado ought to be able to do better. 292 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 2: Three years of evidence says that it just didn't want to. 293 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: So here's what I'll be able to verify as accurate. 294 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: Senate built twenty six one to eleven protections against child 295 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 2: rape killed on a four to three party line vote 296 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March eighteen, the third 297 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: consecutive year Democrat lawmakers have blocked the measure. You can't 298 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: point to Republicans anywhere on this one and say, well, 299 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: you know, the Republicans are going soft on crime, or 300 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: the Republicans don't like to see no no, no Democrats. 301 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 2: Democrats killed it. And the four Democrats who killed it. 302 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: Senators Adrian Benevedndez, Nick Henderson, Kate Wallason, Mike Wiseman voting 303 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: to keep it alive, John Carson, a Republican, Linda Zamora Wilson, 304 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: a Republican, and Dylan Roberts, the Democrat that I told 305 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: you about. Roberts b Noble as the Democrat who cross 306 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: party lines. Current Colorado law permits a court to sentence 307 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: a sex offender convicted of child sexual assault to probation 308 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: for an indeterminate period ranging from ten years for a 309 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: Class four felony up to the offender's natural life. The 310 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: bill was co sponsored by Senator janis Rich, a Republican 311 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: in the Senate, with Representative Brandy Bradley, a Republican, and 312 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: Representative Regina English, the Democrat, as House sponsors. Similar bill 313 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: Kilden two twenty four, twenty twenty five and now twenty 314 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: twenty six. I don't know what it is about Colorado Democrats. 315 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: We've got one hundred and fifty billion dollar budget deficit 316 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: or a one point five billion. One hundred and fifty 317 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: billion might as well be one point five billion dollar 318 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: budget deficit. Nobody seems to be wanting to do anything 319 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 2: about that. If they do, they want to eliminate the 320 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: taxpayer billar rights is what they really want to do. 321 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: You've got a bill that would prescribe a minimum sentence 322 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: for sexual assault on a child in that scene, kent 323 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: to get out of committee. When you have one party control, 324 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: this is what you end up with. You end up 325 00:23:50,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: with child sexual predators getting by with probation in color 326 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: and nobody seems to care. I find it absolutely despicable 327 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 2: that nobody seems to care. So if you've ever thought about, 328 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: you know, hey, maybe out to call the state legislature, 329 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: maybe out to call down to the polot Bureau, here's 330 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: what you might do. You might give them a call 331 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: and just say you want some sort of minimum prison 332 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 2: sentence that judges have to follow. Because remember this, the 333 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: same people that elected those y'all who's to the poloit 334 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: Bureau will be the same people who elect the governor, 335 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: who will appoint a judge who will then go on 336 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: a retention ballot and will probably be there for the 337 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: rest of their life until until they make some egregious, 338 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: horrible decision that enough people get riled up about. I 339 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 2: don't think it would be accurate. It would not be 340 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: accurate to say that useless eaters or put down like 341 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: dogs under Canada's euthanasia policy. How could they're put down 342 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: much faster than dogs? Recent figures indicate that approximately sixteen thousand, 343 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: four hundred and twenty five Canadians were euthanized in twenty 344 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: twenty four, compared to six thousand, seven thousand, six hundred 345 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: and forty four dogs that are euthanized annually in shelters. 346 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 2: That's a ratio that exceeds two to one. Now that 347 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: underscores must probably a broader trend. Since the Medical Assistance 348 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: in Dying made legislation the suicide law was legalized in 349 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, the program in Canada has grown exponentially. So 350 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: the thin edge of the thin edge of the wedge 351 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: was terminally ill adults, but soon Medical Assistance in Dying 352 00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: was expanded to non terminal illnesses and already made Medical 353 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: assistance in dying is the fifth leading cause of death 354 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 2: in Canada. Death by chemical drowning may be offered as 355 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: a therapy for such ills. I don't know, it's poverty, 356 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: mental illness, needing a whil chair left. At least Canada 357 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: has discovered something besides wealth appropriation that big government can 358 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: do efficiently. They're doing it very efficiently. Many victims received 359 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: made within a day of requesting it, or of being 360 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 2: pressured into requesting. A disturbing case involved an early woman, 361 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: missus b will call her, who initially requested made but 362 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: withdrew consent for religious reasons. Despite that and to maid 363 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: concerns of coercion due to her husband's caregiver burnout, she 364 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: was reassessed and euthanized hours later by a third practitioner. 365 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 2: In short, her life was terminated against her own wishes 366 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: and to satisfy her husband's convenience, which amounts to what 367 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: used to be called murder, but homicide too judgment of 368 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: a word. Soon, it's going to be completely deleted from 369 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: the New Speak dictionary. May may play a role in 370 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: the demographic transformation that features prominently on the liberal agenda. 371 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: Opponents decry it as state sanctioned murder, noting that ninety 372 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 2: six percent of recipients are white and that the program 373 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: suggests a larger agenda ethnically terraformed Canada. I think the 374 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: bottom line is simply this, Once the sanctity of innocent 375 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: human life has been rejected, all things are possible for 376 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: the social engineers. I happen to know somebody in Colorado, 377 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: a friend of a friend. I've met this person maybe 378 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: three times, on the list for a long transplant, gets infected, 379 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: just already has all sorts of comorbidities, and finally is 380 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: rejected from the transplant plant list. He does suffer the 381 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: couple of times that I've seen him, he does seem 382 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: to be suffering quite a bit, but he was. Remember 383 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: he was on the list for a transplant until he 384 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: got a uh A pneumonia infection. But he cleared up 385 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: while he was on the or suffering from the infection. 386 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: He applied for to Colorado's medical assistance and dying protocols. 387 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: The team that evaluated him rejected it. Then he decided, well, 388 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 2: maybe I don't want it after all. So he gets better. 389 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 2: Once he got better, he applied once again to get 390 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: back on the transplant list, but they rejected him and said, 391 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 2: you've got to meet these metrics before we can put 392 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: you back on the list. So he started trying to 393 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: get back on the list, found it difficult, and the 394 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: so doing decided that I think I'll try once again 395 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: for the MADE program, the Medical Assistance and Dying program 396 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: in Colorado. This time they gave it to me. Now 397 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: he's sitting with a package of medicine that will he'll 398 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: take simultaneously put him to sleep and then kill him 399 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: stop his heart. However it works, sitting at the bedside 400 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 2: table at any time can decide to do it. Now. 401 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: I know you can do the same thing with a gun. 402 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: You get to overdose on you know, some sort of 403 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: other medication, and you can make that choice. But I 404 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: find it really fascinating that someone who wants to live, 405 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: going through all the process of trying to get onto 406 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 2: the transplant transplant list, suffers a setback, is denied, it 407 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: tries another group, They approve it, and now he's got 408 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: two choices. Do I work to improve my health and 409 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 2: try to get back on the transplant list, or do 410 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: I just reach over to the drawer and just into today. 411 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: I bring that in Canada and the Child's Sexual Assault 412 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: Bill all together because it seems to me that Canada, 413 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: like Colorado, like a lot of blue states that have 414 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: adopted these kinds of protocols, really are engaging in government 415 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: sanctioned suicide. Now, I don't know what I would do. 416 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: I don't know what you would do if I'm really suffering. Well, 417 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 2: I'm pretty good with the gun. Not saying that's what 418 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: I would do, but I'm just saying there are other ways. 419 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: Why do I need the government to sanction it? Just 420 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: think about that from them, Why do you need government 421 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: to sanction it? Now, let's take it one step further, 422 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: because it's not just about death. It's also trying to 423 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: turn big government into God. Because what government gives, government 424 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 2: can take away. For example, those regarded as obstacles to 425 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: the LGB agenda, they may be stripped as their rights 426 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: as parents. According to Fox News, a devastated father in 427 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: Iceland says that he was stripped of his parntal rights 428 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 2: after speaking out against his eleven year old autistic sons 429 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: sex change. Alexander Rosch's right to protect his child got canceled. 430 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: You see, he believes The judge ruled against him because 431 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: he questioned the long term impacts of puberty blockers and 432 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: hormone therapies. He argued that his then ten year old, 433 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: whose worldview is shaped by video games like Minecraft and Roadblocks, 434 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: could not comprehend the permanent consequences of sexu reassignment. He said, 435 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: quote not naturally, every kid after a separation, an autism 436 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: diagnosis will have a mental challenge. The transition is a 437 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 2: happy place. They do feel validated. They like the attention 438 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: to me, the father says. The concern is the long term. 439 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: Will they still be happy in four years from now, 440 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: our six years from having blockers and having hormones? Is 441 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: it really fixing what is underlying the mental challenge or 442 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: difficulty whatever they're going through. You see these leftists who 443 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: want to turn government into god because they don't have 444 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 2: a god to actually believe in. They're not interested in 445 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: alleviating mental challenges. I think they're actually interested in exploiting 446 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 2: mental challenges so as to sacrifice vulnerable children to their 447 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: sick ideology. Child sexual assault, medical assistance and suicide and 448 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: taking away a prontal right to whether or not you're 449 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: going to allow your child to take puberty blockers. Everywhere 450 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: you turn, government is turning into God. I hate it.
