California's latest transgender scandal has us CRACKING UP! · NORMAL GAYS Podcast

The program was expanded to include coverage for all illegal
0:04
immigrants who might financially qualify.
0:07
That includes taxpayers funded gender treatments as well.
0:12
Well, Harris, California spends about $9 billion on illegal
0:15
immigrant healthcare. I don't agree with giving
0:18
undocumented or illegal people healthcare.
0:22
I think if your policy is to give them healthcare, I don't
0:25
think gender affirming care being included in that.
0:28
Is that wild? It's just also, it's like the
0:30
perfect caricature of that's actually real if you wanted to
0:34
just like make people resent California progressives.
0:39
Hey guys, welcome back to NORMAL GAZE where we take on insanity.
0:42
I'm Brad Palumbo here with Clarkson Lawson.
0:44
What's up guys, make sure you subscribe to the channel because
0:47
nobody is subscribed. Yeah, people watch the videos
0:50
but don't subscribe have. A lot of viewers.
0:53
That don't watch that are not subscribed.
0:54
It's depressing. I won't.
0:56
Never. Yes, you will, and you'll do it
0:59
right now. Anyway, did you know that if you
1:02
move to the state of California and you become an illegal
1:05
immigrant, you should get free breast implants and
1:08
vaginoplasty? Hell yeah.
1:10
Hell yeah. But you actually couldn't get
1:13
any of your for free. I know I couldn't get TRT I.
1:16
Couldn't get that. Well, they give free healthcare
1:21
to It's not. Free.
1:24
It's it's in tax. Universal health care, taxpayer
1:28
funded, whatever, same thing. But they give it to illegal
1:30
immigrants as well. Not just immigrants even got it.
1:34
And it covers gender affirming care.
1:36
So there's this new expose that was dropped by the Manhattan
1:38
Institute where they interviewed transgender women.
1:41
Illegal immigrants were just like camera.
1:43
Like yeah, I got my Tatas. So they're travelling to
1:46
California. No, I think it's more like they
1:48
came to California anyway. I don't think they came there
1:50
specifically for the free breast, but it's still a
1:54
ridiculous story. And that the best part about it
1:57
is it started in like conservative think tank world
1:59
and right wing media. But then California's, like,
2:01
governor's office responded and they admitted it's they're like,
2:05
yeah, that's basically true. Well, I mean, I would see why it
2:08
would be true because if you're going to offer healthcare to
2:11
people who are illegally there or undocumented, I mean, I do
2:16
think that that is part of healthcare.
2:20
I don't know. I don't.
2:22
Think that somebody with gender dysphoria?
2:24
I think it's I don't think it's evidence based healthcare now
2:27
top surgery for adults. I think it's essentially
2:30
cosmetic and the idea that you could have them make your
2:33
neighbors all pay for it. But like another a woman who
2:35
hates her body and wants breast implants can't get it.
2:38
But a trans woman who has? Well, I don't think that's
2:41
necessary. I think that's a flaw, but like
2:45
a woman who had a double mastectomy, let's say, I think
2:47
should be able to get breast implants too, and that would be
2:51
cosmetic. That no, that would be like
2:53
medical. It's not necessary, but it's
2:55
cosmetic because but it causes I don't.
2:56
Know it would be billed as cosmetic though, or if it would
2:59
be billed as medically necessary.
3:01
But the point is that you can't just get purely cosmetic plastic
3:04
surgery covered by your Medicaid, but you can get it for
3:08
like there's not I'm sorry. Also there's it's not like
3:11
they're only giving this to people with strict diagnosis of.
3:13
Yeah. I mean, there's a lot that goes
3:15
that goes. Wrong and I don't.
3:17
The world of gender dysphoria and the affirmation and the
3:20
endless affirmation, there's, there's a lot that's wrong with
3:22
it. I just don't.
3:23
I just think it's diabolical that people who are not even
3:26
entitled to be in the country are getting advanced surgeries
3:31
on the taxpayer dime. Like, that seems to me to be
3:34
something that's designed to drive people crazy.
3:37
But let's watch the clip, and then we can talk about it more.
3:39
This is from Fox News. But again, the governor's office
3:41
basically was like, yeah, that's real.
3:45
So it's not even really in dispute.
3:46
Let's watch the clip. There's some California
3:48
Democrats are turning against their own governor, Gavin
3:52
Newsom, over the state's medical insurance program for the poor.
3:56
That program we're looking at from 2024 to 2025, the program
4:02
was expanded to include coverage for all illegal immigrants who
4:07
might financially qualify. That includes taxpayers funded
4:12
gender treatments as well. And here's one illegal alien who
4:15
got those treatments. I live in a shelter.
4:19
Definitely Some are migrants or undocumented.
4:22
I don't. I feel safe.
4:27
So medical. You got the breast implants?
4:29
Yes. Wow.
4:31
Taxpayer funded. So here in California, they gave
4:34
you the the breast implants here.
4:37
Yes. Free.
4:39
Yeah. And WHO column has this to say.
4:42
And a state projecting ongoing multibillion dollar deficits
4:46
prioritizing irreversible medical procedures for non
4:49
citizens who enter the US illegally diverts finite
4:53
resources from core governmental functions.
4:56
It's easy to say that California's priorities are
4:59
simply misplaced. Senior national correspondent
5:02
William Lajeunesse on this in Los Angeles.
5:04
William. Well, Harris, California spends
5:07
about $9 billion on illegal immigrant healthcare.
5:11
Some Sacramento. That's a lot of money.
5:12
Opposing to earmark 25,000,000 for gender affirming care or sex
5:17
change treatment for the entire Medicaid population here about
5:21
15,000,000 people. It's known here as medical.
5:24
So this is an issue because Governor Newsom expanded medical
5:27
to include all qualified illegal immigrants.
5:30
That includes those who are transgender.
5:32
Meaning, legal or not, they can receive taxpayer hormone
5:36
treatments, breast implants and other sex change surgeries.
5:41
And that's what the Manhattan Institute found in this report.
5:44
Individuals on the streets of San Francisco claiming to be
5:47
from Honduras or and transgender.
5:50
This woman, Laika, told the reporter that she is here
5:52
illegally and receiving cross gender treatment provided by the
5:56
state. They're not really concerned
5:59
about taking resources from Americans.
6:06
Because they have seen that they received.
6:08
More help. Another immigrant, Jacqueline,
6:12
from Mexico, claims to have received breast implants paid
6:16
for by the state and is waiting to have his penis removed.
6:21
They gave you the the breast implant here?
6:24
Yes. Free.
6:26
Yeah. Wow.
6:27
Did you do bottom 2 bottom surgery?
6:29
I'm waiting for that one. Wow.
6:31
You're waiting for bottom surgery.
6:32
OK, are you happy with the result?
6:36
So in a statement to Fox, California's health department
6:38
says the City Journal Manhattan issued a report.
6:41
Story includes significant factual errors and
6:44
mischaracterizes both medical eligibility and covered
6:47
benefits. It suggests that the state
6:50
broadly provides gender affirming surgeries to specific
6:53
populations without limitation, which is false.
6:56
Medical is a needs based program with strict eligibility
7:01
requirements. So California spends about
7:03
15,000,000 annually already on gender affirming care.
7:08
But that's for those enrolled in so-called Obamacare.
7:11
Those Democrats proposing the 26,000,000 would specifically go
7:15
to medical transgender patients. Currently, the state doesn't
7:19
publish a line item for sex change treatments.
7:22
Wonder why they don't do? That and surgeries for that
7:26
population. Bottom line, the state doesn't
7:28
deny Harris that it pays for sex change surgeries for illegal
7:33
immigrants, just not to the scale suggested.
7:35
As for the federal money here, that can't be used on illegal
7:38
immigrant healthcare. But the feds say the state has
7:41
done so. They're trying to claw that
7:42
back. The state says they haven't.
7:44
I want to know what the eligibility requirements are.
7:46
For they mean income. You mean income?
7:49
Based. Yeah.
7:49
So what they're saying, it's not like residency based on how long
7:52
you've been here or anything like that or applying for asylum
7:56
or. Well, no, because the point if
7:58
you are are applying for asylum, you then you wouldn't be
8:02
categorized and asylum seeker is not categorized as illegal
8:06
immigrants. So what when they say they're
8:08
strict eligibility requirements and it's not broad based, what
8:11
they mean is that you have to be like low income and not have
8:14
resource like the Medicaid qualifications in California is
8:17
what they're talking about there.
8:19
But I, I just like, I, I actually think it's a more
8:22
interesting conversation and it's a little more nuanced than
8:24
just like what you see is the standard conservative take of
8:27
illegal aliens should never get a dime for Medicaid because part
8:31
of like when, when there's a dispute over federally are
8:34
illegal aliens getting Medicaid part of it's Medicaid payments
8:37
for emergency rooms. And I'm sorry, but like, no
8:41
human should show up at the emergency room.
8:43
And be denied bleeding. Out and deny whether they're
8:46
illegal immigrant or not. And who's going to pay the the
8:47
doctors in the house? Right now it's Medicaid.
8:49
Exactly. And so it's a necessary.
8:52
Function Some some Republicans are like, no, cut that.
8:55
And that's, to me, that's kind of like the role of government
8:59
is to cover those types of gaps. Bare minimum safety now, but
9:03
that's different from just like full service health insurance
9:07
paid for by your neighbors in a country you're literally
9:10
illegally present in. I don't agree with giving
9:13
undocumented or illegal people healthcare, but I think if your
9:19
policy is to give them healthcare, I don't think gender
9:24
affirming care being included in that.
9:25
Is that wild? Oh, I kind of do, because I
9:28
don't. Really, because I don't think
9:29
gender affirming care being in healthcare in general is that
9:31
wild. I think there should be more,
9:34
less. There's a lot wrong with the
9:36
diagnosis process and, and the actual ideology that's behind it
9:39
and it not actually like making sense and and what's changed
9:42
about it. But I don't think that gender
9:46
affirming care for the right people should be out of pocket.
9:50
I don't. Oh, I, I basically do.
9:53
Yeah, I. I that's where we where we
9:55
disagree, yeah. I mean, I just am not.
9:58
I don't really think it's met the kind of evidentiary
10:01
standard. And even way.
10:03
In terms of like. Like the studies?
10:05
And research that you need to have an actual medical
10:09
treatment. There's really very low quality
10:11
data even on like the the amount of data there is on whether a
10:15
vaginoplasty positively impacts long term mental health for
10:19
someone with gender dysphoria is very.
10:21
Tiny. OK but what about hormone
10:23
replay? Like there's studies on
10:25
different parts of gender from and care.
10:27
So I don't think saying all gender from and care shouldn't
10:29
be paid for is fair because I'm sure that maybe HRT might have
10:33
more of a success rate than maybe a vaginoplasty because
10:36
those are very two different. But the HRT is pretty
10:38
inexpensive to pay out for out of pocket.
10:41
Sure, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be covered by
10:43
insurance. I guess you did.
10:44
The question would be whether it's medically necessary and
10:47
evidence based and I guess I could maybe be convinced that it
10:51
could I you'd have. I just don't.
10:53
I think gender form and care is a little complex.
10:55
And yeah, a vaginoplasty, those have very low success rates.
10:59
I know that for a. That's why that should like.
11:01
But HRT surgery. I think the problem is you
11:04
should probably draw a distinction between surgeries
11:07
and HRT. If it if we're going to go
11:08
evidence based, then we have to go evidence based procedure by
11:11
procedure and medication by medication, not specifically
11:16
things that affect one population.
11:18
I agree but but it's what I'm saying.
11:20
I think it might make sense to cover the HRT but not the
11:23
surgeries. OK.
11:25
But regardless, I don't think illegal immigrants.
11:28
Should be. I don't think they should be
11:29
getting and. It's just also, it's like the
11:32
perfect caricature of that's actually real if you wanted to
11:37
just like make people resent California progressives, illegal
11:43
immigrants. And they have trans people.
11:44
All you have to do is stop trans on it and it's like.
11:47
Every. Box.
11:48
But it's real. It's not a fake story.
11:51
And that's the thing. It's like I would almost argue
11:54
that it would be better for the trans community to not give
11:57
these people surgeries than to give those surgeries because
12:01
it's such APR nightmare. People literally are struggling
12:03
to feed their kids. They're like my tax dollars are
12:05
going to. Why do you?
12:06
It's also just like the my biggest issue is not that I'm
12:10
against government programs, it's that I hate deficits.
12:16
Well, they have a huge they mention.
12:17
That and they have a huge. Deficit.
12:19
The thing is, is if if Florida wanted to pay for illegal
12:23
immigrants healthcare, given that we're in a budget surplus,
12:27
I wouldn't be against it. If the state voted for it, I
12:30
wouldn't. I would, I'd say.
12:31
If if we could afford it and and it would I.
12:34
Would reduce taxes with the surplus then.
12:36
Maybe. But I'm just saying like if
12:38
you're in a surplus and it's not adding to your deficit if a
12:41
state, I'm more sympathetic to a state doing something that's a
12:45
little bit weird. Well, the difference is also is
12:47
that California is not allowed to run an actual deficit.
12:49
So they'll have to cut somewhere else or raise taxes.
12:52
Like state governments can't run, They can't actually borrow
12:55
money like the federal government.
12:57
So it will it's literally going to cost something else.
13:00
So it's makes it even more diabolical.
13:03
So the other story that's like similar to this that I saw is
13:07
from Boston where the mayor there, it's like it's always an
13:11
NGO, right, that they funnel these programs through.
13:15
So this is the Daily Mail. We love the Daily Mail.
13:19
Do we? I don't know what's.
13:20
What is this like a tabloid? Oh, is it like a left or right?
13:25
It's British. Oh, oh, I know which one.
13:27
The blue one. The blue one.
13:28
Yeah, yeah, woke Boston Mayor hands out $500 haircut and
13:31
massage vouchers to migrants despite city's budget plunging
13:35
$50 million in red. Wait, $500 haircut?
13:39
Well, they're vouchers that they can use to get here.
13:41
I'll just read more details. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is
13:44
handing out $500 vouchers to migrants so they can enjoy
13:47
haircuts, massages and other self-care benefits despite the
13:50
city's budget plunging. Nearly 50 million short
13:53
applicants who are, quote, low income, isolated queer and trans
13:57
migrants, asylum seekers and refugees are prioritized for the
14:01
Wellness allowance. The initiative, called Belonging
14:05
Matters, was created by Out Newcomers, A nonprofit that
14:08
advocates for LGBTQ migrants in Boston alongside the Mayor's
14:11
Office for Immigrant Advancement.
14:13
Applicants get 250 to $500 toward quote, non clinical care
14:18
completely funded by the city agency, which is run by the
14:21
Democrats administration. They can participate in
14:24
activities like meditation, yoga, peer support, creative
14:27
healing, acupuncture, and gym memberships.
14:30
Is creative healing. What is creative healing?
14:34
The show Watch the show and you will be creatively healed by our
14:39
commentary. It comes as the city faces a $48
14:42
million deficit and teachers are faced with possible staffing
14:45
cuts due to a $53 million shortfall for Boston Public
14:49
Schools. Your reaction.
14:54
If I go to Boston and claim that I'm escaping Florida as a gay
14:58
man, I could. Get.
15:00
I could get creative. What is it called?
15:02
Creative healing. Creative healing done.
15:04
Yeah. What is?
15:05
What is creative healing? For a gay.
15:07
Person getting your back blown out on grinder like I don't
15:11
understand what are these queer what is.
15:13
It says creative healing is a way to feel better by doing
15:16
things you love, like drawing, writing, dancing, cooking,
15:19
playing music or even yoga and. What do gay people love?
15:24
This SO grinder is creative. So getting your backblown out on
15:26
Grinder is creative feeling. You know what?
15:28
I actually agree with that. Well, that shouldn't cost money.
15:31
If that's costing money, something's gone wrong.
15:33
And illegal. You're right, you should get
15:34
paid for it. Oh my God, what?
15:37
That was not what I was saying. So this, this organization out
15:41
Newcomers was founded by Sal Khan, a queer activist and drag
15:45
performer who is also the organization's executive
15:48
director. The 33 year old name The 33 year
15:51
old, whose drag queen name is Miss Chili Masala, also refers
15:56
to himself as quote Angry Brown Queer, according to his
15:59
Instagram. Chili masala?
16:01
Is it Indian? Maybe.
16:03
Like chicken masala. I bet he's never mind.
16:06
What? No.
16:07
Say what you were going to say you're about to say.
16:09
I bet he's stanky, weren't you? Well, because chicken.
16:12
So offensive. Chicken masala stinks Fluxon.
16:14
Is racist as. OK, no, I just am cracking a
16:18
joke. You crack a lot of brown men.
16:20
So that I I wasn't saying that Indian stink, I was saying that
16:23
chicken masala stinks and Brad gets it all the time and his
16:27
breath is hot. I love me some Indians, he.
16:31
Talks to this podcast. Thank God we have this space
16:33
between us. Now we're farther apart.
16:35
Chicken chicken tikka masala. I'm like they close.
16:38
To my favorite chicken tiki masala place here, thank God.
16:42
Thank God. No, I was sad.
16:44
I was actually devastated. I actually don't smell your
16:47
breath. I don't want you to internalize
16:48
that and go home and think that I'm smelling your breath when we
16:50
do. This.
16:50
I don't care about that so. Yes, Brad does.
16:54
He would text me and be like, does my breath actually smell?
16:56
I'll be like, no, it's fine, It's just a bit.
16:59
But chicken, whatever it's called, stinks.
17:01
Yeah, and Curry. I'm thinking that is amazing.
17:04
Curry smells like one time when I read.
17:07
A true tide that's doing. That no, this is I actually have
17:10
a memory that ingrained racism into me and I want to share it
17:12
as a young boy excuse me so when I was young, my dad took me to
17:18
Blue Man Group with a couple of my dad was in the church band.
17:21
So we were some other guys in the church band were going to
17:24
come with us and we were all in a van going to see Blue Man
17:28
Group. I hated it because there's no
17:31
lyrics. I like to Britney Spears,
17:33
whatever. Your dad was so disappointed.
17:35
Well, he was. My dad was a drummer, A drummer
17:38
and a Surfers and they drum a lot.
17:40
So we had an Indian guy in in named, I think it was Garth, in
17:46
the church and he came with us. Unfortunately, his customs came
17:51
with him and he brought Curry. I love that.
17:54
That sounds great to me. Sounds great in theory, but when
17:57
you leave it in the van during Blue Man Group and it's like the
18:02
stinkiest Curry that you could get.
18:07
The whole car. I wanted to vomit on the way
18:09
home. And my dad, he thinks he's so
18:12
funny, made so many racist jokes.
18:13
But at that point my nostrils were so offended that it was
18:17
very hard for me to look at him as my equal.
18:21
But I don't necessarily adhere to those principles and I don't
18:27
blame all Indian people for their Curry.
18:30
Habits Indians are my favorite. I think and no, me too, because
18:34
they make so much money and and they contribute to the economy
18:37
they have. The food is good as long as you
18:39
just plug your nose. Well, also we should be clear
18:41
that like my experience is with Indian nationals who come to
18:44
America which are are like very specific subset of the Indian
18:48
population. We're this is all a bit we also
18:51
need to be. Clear No, it's not for me kind
18:53
of a bit are my favorite minorities and I.
18:54
Stayed on that. I'm not actually racist, but I
18:58
just thought I would share that function.
18:59
Cluck with no context. I really hate the smell of Curry
19:02
now. It's like ingrained in me that.
19:04
Indian food Curry when we got we literally got Indian food here
19:08
once. I didn't eat that, remember?
19:11
You left it. You left the mess all over my
19:12
counter. I didn't get that.
19:14
I cleaned it up after you. Oh.
19:17
