Transcripts
he ready ready to sit across the table
from Shin
ping give me the hard questions
lgbtq what's up you
heard
lgbtq yep what about it yeah you just
said there was nothing about
transgender yeah so I how about this I
give you the mic and we hear what you
have to say and then I'm going to answer
you and you'll hear what I have to say
what everybody else here has to say does
that sound like a good deal I don't need
a mic I can speak louder well stand up
tell me your name and and and state your
question my name's Alexis case and I
grew up here okay in this
town
lgbtq is a serious situation in this
world today there are children that get
bullied because they are gay
they're lesbian they're
transcender I don't need that okay
you're welcome to have it if you want I
don't need you get to ask your question
but after that you're going to hear me
give my answer so I'll let you
finish what is Jan what is
your stance on
lgbtq good thank you for your question
I'm going to answer it I'm going to go
into the level of depth that I don't
usually go into on a campaign Trail but
I'm going to do it cuz you ask the
question you deserve an
answer lgbtq I a there's so many letters
they've just added a plus at the end
that's where we are now what's going
on so the same movement because if we're
going to call that one thing let's let's
play it fair the same movement that said
that the sex of the person you're
attracted to is hardwired on the day
you're born that was the premise of the
gay rights movement for it to count as a
civil right that movement is now saying
that your own biological sex is totally
fluid over the course of your life yeah
there's plenty of contradictions in the
lgbtq movement they want us to believe
that there's no difference between a man
or a woman yet if a man feels like a
woman he can then be a woman and if he
fully wants to become a woman he has to
take hormones which directly contradicts
the original belief that there's no
difference between a man or a woman I
think that the lgbtq movement is the
biggest social experiment we have on
Conformity uh because it's taught us one
or two things about human beings either
one humans are so dumb that we can be
told that the sky is green we can look
up and see that it's blue but then still
convince ourselves that it's green or
two humans are so afraid of conflict
with other humans that they're willing
to lie to an entire generation of
children in order to just avoid conflict
either one is scary but I'm assuming
that it's the second one humans are just
willing to conform to answer that
question we set up a hidden camera
experiment to see if this woman would
stand up at the sound of this tone
simply because everyone else is you
might be thinking you'd never go along
with this or would
you after just three beeps and without
knowing why she's doing it this woman is
now conforming perfectly to the
group but what happens if we take the
group
away Elan
[Music]
please okay now she's alone the crowd is
gone and nobody is watching her except
our hidden cameras what do you think
she'll
do she's now conforming to the rules of
the group without them even being there
now watch what happens when we introduce
another Outsider who doesn't know the
rules for a no appointment have a seat
and they'll be out in just a couple
minutes thanks so much
why you st everybody was doing it so I
thought I was supposed to think she'll
teach the new guy what to do
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we kept the cameras rolling as more
unsuspecting patients
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
arrived and slowly but
[Music]
[Applause]
surely what began as a random rule for
this woman has now become the social
Norm for everyone in this waiting
room here to explain what's going on in
their brains is Jonah Burger of the
University of Pennsylvania this sort of
internalized form of herd behavior is
part of what we call social learning
starting at a very early age when we see
members of our group perform a task our
brains literally reward us for following
their footsteps when I saw everybody
stand up I felt like I needed to join
them otherwise I'm like excluded once I
decided to go with it then I felt much
more
comfortable Conformity is how we become
socialized but it can also cause us to
develop bad habits repeat past ROMs and
it's why even this Rebel who wasn't
standing for any of this
nonsense eventually joined the
ranks and the only thing more shocking
than seeing how easily Conformity
affects the way you
act is that similar forces are
subconsciously shaping the way you think
hypocrit you can't believe both those
things well I think I'm going to get to
a deeper say that's where I was about a
year or two ago but I think there's
something deeper going on and I'll tell
you what it
is so the same movement and by the way
let's think about the feminist the
women's rights movement in this country
which said there's many ways to be a
woman you can have long hair short hair
you can wear a skirt you can wear jeans
now says that oh if actually you want to
behave a certain way that means you're a
man so I think that the hypocrisies go
all the way down I'll tell you what's
going on you can't believe both of those
things at the same time if you're
operating according to principles of
sheer
logic but you can if you're
adopting a
faith a cult-like belief
system so this is controversial for me
to say but I'm going to tell you what I
think I believe that transgenderism
specifically is a mental Health
disorder I believe it's a mental health
condition okay nobody car what they
think well I no no no we're going to
finish this this is good I want we have
to have open conversation in this
country but I don't think the
compassionate thing to do Health
disorder it's how they [Β __Β ] feel well
let me let me let me if I'm going to
give you a chance to respond if you'd
like but we can't have an open debate in
this country if we're not able to say
our that's how they feel this is they
that's how they feel and you know what
I'll tell you a story and you deserve to
hear this I met two young women in this
race about six months ago their names
were Chloe and Katie two young
women they're in their 20s
now both of them had their breasts cut
off one of them had her uterus removed
okay they're in their
20s they regret that
decision one of them wants to have kids
she'll never have kids the other one
will never breastfeed her children
they'll never be the same because they
had that done to them when they were
teenagers so no when a young person
shows up and says my gender doesn't
match my biological sex they're asking
for help but you just said 20 that's our
they no they happened to them when one
girl was 13 when it happened to her
she's in her 20s now and regrets it this
is what's wrong in this country we will
look back at this and say this was
barbaric that we allowed this to happen
in this country that is not comp
passion that is
cruelty and so I don't think the right
thing to do is I'm not going to
villainize those people you don't
villainize people who are going through
suffering but you have to be willing to
say when a kid shows up and says my
gender doesn't match my biological sex
you have to be able to say what else is
going wrong at home what else might be
going wrong at school get to the bottom
of what's going on help that person with
compassion with dignity so my view is
this if you're an adult you're free to
live your life however you want as long
as you're not hurting somebody else if
you're a man you can dress how you want
if you're a woman you can dress how you
want identify how you want we're a free
country and I'm not going to stop you
but kids are not the same as adults and
we have to protect our
children and and and I'm going to go
further than that we can't change the
way that women and men compete in sports
we can't do that we can allow you to
live your life the way you want to but
we can't change the way that we operate
in our own life and I I'm going to
finish this thought and then you get to
respond because I think this is good we
don't do this enough open debate I love
this I think what we've had in our
country before is a tyranny of the
majority and that's what we worry about
but right now we don't have a tyranny of
the majority what we have in this
country right now is a tyranny of the
minority that's what we have right now a
tyranny of The Fringe minority that
tells you to shut up sit down and do as
you're told no we have to stand for what
is true and so I promise to you you will
have a chance to respond I'm going to
keep my promise you tell me this is good
we don't do this enough in our country
anymore open conversation tell me I was
a child when I knew that I was
kid not the fact that I wanted to change
my
gender but living here in this town I
knew that I
wanted that I was a lesbian that I was
attracted to
females and you know what they had to
hide
it and when did you grow when was that
in the '90s
oh
no uh let's see I came out when I was 19
so um I was born in
1983 so I think where we are now we're
in the similar
generation I think things today aren't
what they were I grew up in Ohio in the
1990s and we're in a different place
today and I think this is a this could
be a very productive convers I don't get
to do this in the campaign Trail often
where we all are in our own Echo
Chambers and silos so it's good for us
to talk to each other I like
that something Funny's happened I think
in the last few years in this country
with the Civil Rights Movement it's
right when we get to closest to the
promised land of true Racial equality
that we then start obsessing over
systemic racism it's right when we get
to the point in our National History
where whoever you are you can marry who
you want where you want if you want
whatever gender they are that we start
then obsessing over the sexual identity
Revolution you know what's actually
funny right now is many people who are
lesbian or gay are being taught to say
that hey if you're a woman attracted
woman you're not a woman you're a man so
that's the transgender movement the L
and the g first of all don't have that
much to do with each other the G and the
T don't have as much to do with each
other but we're clubbing all of these
things up to create more Division I hate
the term persons of color you want to
know why you take a hundred different
cultures combine them into one thing
that's designed to be opposed to this
other thing we call White and so the way
I view this
is you are free to live your
life the way you wish to as long as you
don't hurt anybody else in return and
I'm free to do the same thing too but
that doesn't mean we change the way men
and women compete in sports that doesn't
mean we change the way men and I don't
think that just because you identify as
a man doesn't mean that you're entitled
to a trophy you agree do you agree with
me on that you agree with me on that I I
you agree with me on that all right do
that's different because men shouldn't
be swimming with women in women sports
competitions thank you I appreciate that
that's that's different that's what I'm
talking about right and so that's what
I'm saying is it's not all the same
thing right and so we got to respect
people and treat them with dignity every
one of us is different but all says kids
aren't the same as adults and if we can
agree on that then I think we at least
made some progress tonight and we'll
have a step forward so thank you I
appreciate
that and I respect her for asking that
that takes courage to stand up and be
the only you know what I'll tell you
this when you're the only person in a
room and I'll come to you next when
you're the only person in a room who
believes what you do I will always tell
you stand up and say it that's how we're
going to get this country back is
actually all of us starting to speak
openly again and that's how we're going
to get this country back and I love your
shirt she's got an American flag so you
get the next question I'm happy VC made
quick work in this conversation because
to be honest to still be having this
conversation in 2024 is just
embarrassing at this point America has
real issues now uh illegal immigration
that's a real issue being on the brink
of World War II that's a biggie Big
Daddy Biden and the rest of the
government making it rain with our tax
dollars like we had a damn strip club
these are real issues the name of the
game in this next election is gas and
groceries who's going to boost the
economy to bring back the middle class
that's what we care about over the past
three elections we've been force-fed
these social issues as if we care about
them as normal Americans as if these
companies care about them that promote
them what's more what's more likely Nike
cares about you identifying as trans or
Nike just doing whatever it takes to
slang more tennis shoes the truth of the
matter is the companies don't care and
we don't care and the only way this
movement can continue to exist is if we
act like we care normal Americans don't
care about the proper pronouns of a
potato normal Americans don't care about
what you identify as or who you sleep
with in the privacy of your own bedroom
and we need to stop acting like we care
so we can have the important
conversations what's happening to the
middle class why can't I afford a loaf
of bread why can't I afford auto
insurance why can't uh my children ever
afford a home these are the
conversations that need to be had in
this next election
not lgbtq rights once they can figure
out who they are then we can figure out
what to do with them but until then we
need to focus on gas and groceries let
me know in the comments below if this
