The FBI Has A New Strategy For Censoring Dissident Speech (Ep.13) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bonzino Report Early Edition. I
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: am your host, Ovita. We have a lot to talk
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: about today. The FBI is ramping up its censorship efforts
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with a brand new strategy. Billions of our tax dollars
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: are going toward ad agencies engaged in speech policing. Governor
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer is lying about her COVID tyranny. The media
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is reframing a Biden dementia moment as a Biden mic
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: drop moment. Kamala Harris scolds Americans for celebrating Christmas In
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a recently resurfaced clip, J.D. Vance gives a masterclass on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: how to handle race-baiting journalists. A trans-identifying man viciously stabbed
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a worker at a shelter for abused women and children.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: The FDA is recommending approving puberty blockers to minors despite
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: knowing these drugs are associated with suicide. And lastly, we
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have a really powerful video highlighting the emptiness of virtual living.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: All of this on Bongino Report Early Edition. You guys,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the FBI is ramping up its censorship efforts ahead of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the 2024 election. This is from The Federalist, a DOJ
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: memo dated July 12, 2024, from Associate Deputy Attorney General
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: George D. Turner, states that following the Supreme Court's decision
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in Murthy v. Missouri, the Biden admin has sought to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: censor information it deems to be foreign malign influence, or
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: FMI information. Guys, drop a comment if you think the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: government is going to be censoring information deemed foreign maligned
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: influence or if foreign maligned influence is really just code
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for speech the government dislikes. And you guys want to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: know what this reminds me of? Remember back in 2020
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: before the presidential election when we had 51 former intelligence
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: officials sign on to a letter suggesting that the explosive
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. And then the feds
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: directed social media companies to censor the laptop story. It
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: happened all at once. I mean, for me, when I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was working at the Federalist at the time, it was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: like a domino effect. You had X censor, Facebook censor,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Instagram censor. Well, X at the time it was Twitter.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Snapchat censor, Google censor, all just within hours of one another.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It was really dystopian. And the worst part is that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the feds knew that the laptop had been authenticated by
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the FBI as early as a full year prior to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the story exploding onto the scene. So they knew it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was real, but they told us it was Russian disinformation.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: really disgusting. And we're going to see a lot more
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of that kind of behavior coming up because we know
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that this is going to be their strategy moving forward, right?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Foreign malign influence is the game they're going to play
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with us as we head into this November election. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not done with the censorship news just yet. This
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: story really is infuriating. Several global advertising agencies engaged in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: censoring conservative voices are now receiving billions of dollars in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: federal contracts. So I want to backtrack a little, explain
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. There's an organization, it's called the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Global Alliance for Responsible Media or GARM. And we've talked
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: about it before, but I'm going to give a little refresher.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: GARM is made up of the world's largest and most
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: powerful advertisers and the largest and most powerful social media platforms.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And what GARM does is it brings together the advertisers
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and the platforms to demonetize speech deemed wrong think by
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: left-wing elites. GARM members will communicate with one another and say,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for example, no one should advertise with Dan Bongino and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we should also shadow ban him because he's dangerous. GARM
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: is basically like this evil club of powerful companies that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: want to control what all of us see, hear, and think.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's what they're all about. And in the advertising industry,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there's something called the Big Six, which is the six
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: major global ad agency holding companies. And these holding companies
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: own virtually every major ad agency around the world. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all six of the Big Six... are part of GARM.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I think we have an image of what that looks like.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You can see, so in the middle, you see the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: six big companies and you see all of the ad
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: agencies that they own. These are very powerful entities. And again,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: every one of the holding companies pictured is a member
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of GARM. And I will give you an example of
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: how one of these six holding companies has engaged in censorship.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So IPG along with some others in the ad industry,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: advised its clients to, quote, pause advertising on Twitter when
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk took over, now renamed X. So these companies
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are very ideologically bent to the left. They use their
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: powerful positions within GARM to organize censorship efforts and really
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: erode the First Amendment in this country. Now, last month,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee released a report exposing how GARM is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: colluding to censor conservatives and potentially is in violation of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: antitrust laws. But despite this, Congress gave four of the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: big six GARM member ad agencies billions of dollars from
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you and I, the taxpayers, via massive federal contracts. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: members of Congress know GARM is eroding free speech in America.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and potentially violating antitrust laws, and they're coming out with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: statements criticizing GARM, and yet they're funding GARM members with
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: our tax dollars. Republican members of Congress, they act like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they have no power, that they're victims of the speech
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: policing just like you and me. And again, they'll come
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: out on Twitter and they'll criticize GARM and act like
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: they can't do anything about it except for tweet, But
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: they do have power. They do have influence. Congress controls
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the federal budget. That's a pretty powerful thing. So the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: least Congress can do is just say, we're going to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: not send tax dollars to companies that want to obliterate
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment. That's the least they could do. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but they should at least
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: do it for their own self-preservation. If you are a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Republican congressman, with even moderate right-wing views, you should know
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that these people hate you. And they hate your supporters.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So stop giving them money. It is so simple. The
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: performative outrage from members of Congress is so infuriating. Just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: use the power of the pocketbook. And we will start
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to see change in this country. But instead, we keep
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: giving money and deals to people who hate us. Not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: just federal contracts out to members of GARM, but even
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the agencies that we know are engaged in speech policing
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like the FBI. Why are we building the FBI a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: brand new building? Why do they even still have a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: federal budget?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: If we know that they've been weaponized against the American
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: people and are engaged in obliterating First Amendment rights. But
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Congress keeps on funding them and acts like they have
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: nothing they can do about the censorship efforts. So infuriating. Okay,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we're going to switch gears here a little bit because
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the media loves to fact check the right. Most of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: them are fake fact checks. Actually, I'd say probably all
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of them are fake fact checks. But when their friends...
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: go on national television to tell bald face lies, there
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: are never any consequences because the fact checking only ever
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: really goes one way. So we're going to do some
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: fact checking on the show here. Some basic journalism that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: CNN failed to do when Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer appeared
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: on CNN to spew absolute falsehoods about her tyrannical handling
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of COVID. Let's play that video.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Would be the number one thing that you would do differently? Well,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: think about what we were confronting, right? The knowledge of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the last pandemic was from the 1918 flu that disproportionately
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: hurt little kids, killed little kids, took lives of some
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of the youngest Americans. And I think one of our
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: collective worries was that in our schools, if our kids
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: were going and they were getting sick, that they would
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: start dying. We did not know it was respiratory in nature.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: We didn't know that it would be people on the
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: other end of the age spectrum who would be most vulnerable.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And so I think that the education stuff, we would
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: have been able to do a lot more to help
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: our kids.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You guys, we knew that COVID caused... respiratory symptoms and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that old people were the most vulnerable back in January
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of 2020. So she just straight up lied. And Michigan
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: schools were remote well into 2021. There was never... a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: justification to shut down schools. And you know what data
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see? I'd like to see how many
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: children develop depression, anxiety, and even committed suicide because of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: these lockdowns and school closures. How many students have had
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: their education stunted? How many are still missing from the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: school system? There were reports just from last year that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: thousands of students never went back to school after lockdowns
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and they're completely unaccounted for by the system. Where are
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: those kids? And I don't care what your party affiliation is.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: If you supported lockdowns or school closures or mask mandates
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: or vaccine passports, you should resign immediately. You are unfit
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to serve. You do not respect the Constitution and you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: have abused the American people with your failed leadership. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if you're from Michigan, please drop a comment in the chat.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Explain to me how this woman still has a job.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm baffled by people in Michigan. Seriously. And I'm not kidding.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care about your party affiliation. If you fell
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: for the COVID hysteria and jumped on the bandwagon of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: curtailing basic freedoms in 2020 and beyond, then you are
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: not smart enough to lead in any capacity. My Ben
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Franklin quote, Mikey, if you will. People willing to trade
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: If you don't get that, you don't deserve to hold
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: office because they're going to throw another emergency at us
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to curtail even more liberties. It'll probably be a climate emergency.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And the people who fell for the COVID hysteria have
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: proven too stupid to justifiably stay. Okay, we're going to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: come back to the media because yesterday, three Americans and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: one U.S. green cardholder who were arrested and held in
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Russia were released in a historic prisoner swap. But the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: terms of this deal that the Biden admin struck are
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: largely unknown at this point, which is why Trump was
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: demanding impeachment. answers yesterday. On truth, he said, so when
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are they going to release the details of the prisoner
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: swap with Russia? Just curious because we never make good
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: deals at anything, but especially hostage swaps. I got back
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: many hostages and gave the opposing country nothing and never
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: any cash. To do so is bad precedent for the future.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That's the way it should be or the situation will
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: get worse and worse. They are extorting the U.S., And
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: they're calling the trade complex. That's so nobody can figure
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: out how bad it is. And so pretty strong message
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: from Trump. A member of the media asked Biden about
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Trump's comments during a press conference. And you guys have
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to see Biden's response. And then you have to see
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the media's response to Biden's response.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: President Trump has said repeatedly that he could have gotten
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the hostages out without giving anything in exchange.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: What do you say to that?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: What do you say to President Trump now? Former president.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Why didn't he do it?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: He's president. I think that was what they call a
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: mic drop moment at the end there. Why didn't he
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: do it when he was president? What a historic moment.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's just one problem with this mic drop moment.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The U.S. green card holder and two of the American
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: citizens imprisoned in Russia who were arrested under the Biden admin.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So Trump could not have released 75% of these now
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: home U.S. hostages. This wasn't a mic drop moment. It
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: was a cognitive decline moment. I almost feel bad for
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: talking about this because this guy is so clearly out
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of his mind. It has been humiliating for him as
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he's been bullied by Kamala and the Obamas and the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: entire administrative state to get out of this race, to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: move out of the way. I think everybody just wants
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Biden to disappear. Go home to your mansion paid for
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: by Iranian and Ukrainian and communist Chinese cash. But when
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it comes to fact-checking egregious lies from the propaganda press,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: we can't ignore stories like that one. Yesterday, a 2017
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: clip of Kamala Harris scolding Americans for celebrating Christmas began
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: circulating on social media. This clip is... Unbelievable. You guys
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: have to watch.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: And when we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Christmas and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: speak Merry Christmas?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: How dare we? How dare we speak Merry Christmas? Oh,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: my goodness. What a bizarre... clip and what she's saying
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just so you guys understand the context here americans should
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: not be saying merry christmas until there was permanent status
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants after trump announced the end of the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: daca program that's the that's the background here can we
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: just play the merry christmas part one more time it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: so bizarre.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: How dare we speak merry christmas how dare.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: We Trump has to use that in an ad. That
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is the craziest clip of her. I think one of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the craziest I've ever seen. And by the way, if
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you're here illegally, you have no right to stay. And
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: preventing illegals from continuing to break our border laws is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: no reason not to celebrate Christmas. But I think watching
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that clip, I don't believe Kamala... really cares about the illegals.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: It was such a silly, over-the-top performative soundbite. It makes
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you think, wow, this was really all just for the cameras,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: all just to sort of flex on Trump, demonize Trump.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Kamala is an extremely inauthentic person, even for a politician.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And Trump has pointed this out. And the media wants
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to paint him a bigot for pointing out the obvious.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: At the National Black Journalism Association event this week, which
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: we covered yesterday, Trump suggested that Kamala is only seeming
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to identify with her African ancestry because it's currently politically
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: advantageous for her. To be clear, Kamala certainly has some
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: African ancestry since her father is of some African descent.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But Kamala was not raised by her father. She was
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: raised by her Indian mother in Canada. So why is
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: she acquiring a sudden onset urban accent the moment she
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: steps into Atlanta? So disingenuous. But according to the media,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: pointing that out, that Kamala is a total fake, means
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that you're an automatic racist. Now, luckily, J.D. Vance yesterday
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: gave an absolute statement masterclass on how to handle race
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: baiting from the propaganda press. See the play that video.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Former president's comments yesterday to the national association of black journalists,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: where he said that vice president Harris is quote, all
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: of a sudden black as a father of three biracial children.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Did those comments give you pause at all?
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: They don't give me pause at all. Look, all he
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: said is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: to Georgia two days ago. She was raised in Canada.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: She puts on a fake Southern accent. She is everything
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: to everybody, and she pretends to be somebody different, depending
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: on which audience she's in front of. I think it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: totally reasonable for the president to call that out, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: that's all he did. I mean, look, she's running as
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: a tough-on-crime prosecutor, even though she implemented open-border policies. She's
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: saying that she wants to support the police, yet she
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: wanted to defund the police just three years ago. It's
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: totally reasonable to call out the fact that she pretends
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: to be somebody different, depending on the audience she's talking to.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: That was a great response. Perfect response. It's not racist
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to point out that Kamala Harris is extremely disingenuous. But
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you guys, I want to make a little note, maybe
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to the Trump campaign. If anyone in the Trump campaign
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is listening, pay attention to this part of the show.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Because we wouldn't be dealing with this story at all,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: this Trump is a racist news cycle, if Trump never
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: appeared before the National Association of Black Journalists. I think
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's fine to reach out to black voters. It's actually necessary.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But if Trump wants to win over black voters, he
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: has to go to the normal black voters like he
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: did in the Bronx earlier this year. That was very effective.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You have to go to where real Non-insane black people live.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You don't go to the National Association of Black Journalists
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: where you know everybody there already hates you. That was
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a total waste of Trump's time to go and talk
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to a bunch of race-baiting Democrat propagandists. He should be
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: focusing on normal, not deranged Americans. That is the key
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: here for the Trump campaign. And I don't know if
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they're listening. That's my advice. That's my two cents. Now,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: this next story, you guys, is truly horrifying. Staff at
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: a facility for abused women and children unknowingly sheltered a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: trans-identifying man for weeks before he stabbed a warden so
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: viciously that, and this is a quote from the police report, her,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: from the police department, her internal organs were exposed. From
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the Daily Mail, Michelle Silva-Perez reports, was offered a place
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: at Shepherd's Gate in Greenville, South Carolina, less than four
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: miles from a men's shelter also run by Miracle Hill Ministries.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: The 36-year-old had been evicted the evening before for, quote,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not following the guidelines of the facility, but returned on
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: July 18th armed with a sword before nearly disemboweling a staffer.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: There are so many tragic stories like this. So many
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: women and children who are put in vulnerable positions because
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of this trans cult. Back in 2021, California prisons had
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to start handing out birth control to female inmates because
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the female inmates were being and are still being imprisoned
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: alongside men. The trans cult is anti-truth. And what it does...
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is allow mentally ill and even predatory males to invade
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: vulnerable women's only spaces. And you know who loves this?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Champion of women's rights, feminist Kamala Harris. Here's Harris in
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: 2019 bragging that she was one of the first in
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the country to allow men in prison to use taxpayer
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: dollars to change their sex, which they can't really do,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: but that's what they say.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: When I was attorney general, I learned that the California
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Department of Corrections, which was a client of mine, I
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: didn't get to choose my clients.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: A client of the Attorney General.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: A client of the Attorney General, of the Office of
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Attorney General, that they were standing in the way of surgery.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: You couldn't tell. For prisoners.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: For prisoners. And there was a specific case. And when
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: I learned about the case, I worked behind the scenes
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: to not only make sure that that transgender woman got
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: the services she was deserving. So it wasn't only about
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: that case. I made sure that they changed the policy
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: in the state of California so that every transgender inmate
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: in the prison system would have access to the medical
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: care that they desired and need. And I believe it
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: was not only, I know it was historic in California,
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: but I believe actually it may have been one of
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: the first, if not the first in the country, where
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: I pushed for that policy in a department of corrections.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Right from the horse's mouth. This is a radical, radical
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: perspective that the taxpayers have to pay for the chemical castration,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: perhaps gender-changing surgeries of mentally ill prisoners. This is clearly
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: not somebody who cares about truth nor women. Democrats in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: general don't seem to care about the most vulnerable people
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: in society, despite claiming constantly that they do. Which brings
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: me to my next story, that just yesterday, Biden's FDA
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: was exposed for recommending the approval of puberty blockers to minors,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: despite noting that these drugs are associated with, quote, increased
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: risk of depression and suicidality. What is the irony here?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: You guys know. Trans activists are constantly telling parents, well,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: And vice versa. But it turns out that pumping your
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: kids with puberty blockers makes them more likely to kill themselves.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: This is an email obtained by America First Legal from
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Shannon Sullivan. She is the clinical team leader for the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: FDA's Division of General Endocrinology. Sullivan wrote that the FDA
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: says has done a patient listening session with trans kids
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and separately with trans adults, which I participated in. And
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: there is definitely a need for these drugs to be
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: approved for gender transition as they are typically not covered
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: by insurance and are expensive out of pocket. So the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: follow the science people are basing their recommendations on listening sessions.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And the worst part is children will suffer and die
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: from from the destructive activists that the Biden admin has installed,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Biden Kamala, it's really the Kamala regime right now, has
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: installed throughout our federal government. That is what's at stake. Okay,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: last story, you guys. Sometimes I think that we forget
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: what it's like to not live with our devices, to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just soak in life at its fullest without the distractions
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of technology. And this video that I came across yesterday
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: really addresses this issue in a incredible way. Let's play that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: The contrast of that is really stark. So for those
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: of you who are listening not on video, the clip
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that I played shows the difference between a young boy
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: who is just taking life in at the fullest, free
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: of devices, and then it switches to to that same
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: boy as a man looking down, consumed in his phone
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and his computer at a different stage of his life.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And this is a very startling but honest reflection of
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: what has happened to society. It's sad, but it's true
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that a lot of our lives seem to be consumed
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: by screens. And I'm pretty grateful to be a Gen Z-er.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I know that might sound crazy, but we're one of
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the last generations of I'm saying we, my husband's doing
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: the elements here. We're both Gen Z. One of the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: last generations to really have a childhood with no devices.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Many Gen Alphas, right? This is the youngest generation now.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: They have never experienced childhood without the iPads, without the phones,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: without computers. It's very different. By the way, shout out
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to Kyle Nutt. He is the video creator, very talented guy.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But I think this video is a great reminder to
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: be present because life is richer when you just, you
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: look up. Your relationships are deeper when you look people
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: in the eyes and aren't distracted. And today we covered
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the way the government and the media are constantly trying
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to manipulate our minds. They don't wanna just pursue the truth.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: They want us to blindly accept their narratives on things
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: like COVID and biological reality, But we become a whole
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: lot less susceptible to these manipulation tactics if we look
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: up from our devices and spend the majority of our
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: days present and grounded in authentic human interaction. And with that,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: thank you all for tuning in. Reminder that I'm here
