Tv host Elijah Schaffer and louder with crowder is Dave Landau,
decided to showcase their transphobia yesterday
by going on this really unhinged tangent about killing trans kids.
Now please note that this conversation is quite disturbing, take a look.
>> Possible the problem is that there is this mass genocide happening of trans kids
from fascists and I just said, >> Where?
>> You where you listen to this,
they go well in Texas which I'm like I'm not aware I live here.
>> Yeah. >> So, do you I'm assuming.
>> Yeah, we all have to put a trans kid and drag them behind the truck.
>> [LAUGH] Yeah, but how many trans kids did you kill this week?
>> Six I come with the toll tag.
>> Just a align me you told me you did three I did four I was trying to
beat you this week.
>> Not bad, that's pretty good.
>> This is what the crowder's teams better at everything,
whether it's views it's you got bits and writers and
then it's like, can I not at least get the trans genocide on my side.
>> The blaze ships us the better trans kids.
>> I feel really [LAUGH] cheated.
>> Its a matter [CROSSTALK] >> You should talk to them.
>> [LAUGH] >> I feel really cheated because I get my
patriot supply ads and stuff, meanwhile you get trans kids to genocide
>> Trans kids supply yeah,
it's a pretty good company [LAUGH].
>> My trans kids [LAUGH] >> They come in a tackle box,
it's like a half dozen and you kill them anyway you want it's pretty good.
It's only in Texas though apparently.
>> Yeah, apparently [CROSSTALK] >> I didn't know that because I've been
killing them everywhere.
[LAUGH] So >> [LAUGH]
>> I better stop
>> [LAUGH] I started in California
[LAUGH] to talk about the trail of tears like I did version two it's a new movie.
>> Yeah [LAUGH].
>> 12 years of slave I've been doing it
for 28. >> Yeah [LAUGH] I just feel
you are hostile >> [LAUGH]
>> I just fed their slaves,
mine are all dead. >> [LAUGH]
>> It's true but it's for
the people there's like land markings. The crosses
are across. >> Why?
>> The pentagrams across, so
you follow them across the desert and
you end up in Texas >> Yeah.
>> Where it's legal, and so I was like,
well [LAUGH] >> Now what Schaeffer was referring to
there was Texas Governor Greg Abbott's new directive that's instructing the Texas
department of family and protective services to treat parents who provide
their children with gender affirming care to treat them as child abusers.
So, this is what we know for
this insider the Abbot directive highlights of redline for conservatives.
They are positioning themselves as
the party of parents this campaign season, when it comes to parents concerns about
controversial books or the teaching of race and
gender in the public education system. But they aren't willing to defer to
parents when it comes to their concerns about transgender health.
Now while republicans across the country
really have been advocating for this whole new parental bill of rights idea.
Well, Abbott's recent moves,
they really stopped short of total parental autonomy here,
says I think their version of a parental rights bill excludes parents of trans kids
said Ricardo Martinez CEO of equality Texas that's an LGBTQ-advocacy group.
It's for
everyone except parents of trans kids or folks that do not align directly
to their vision of what Texas should be. Now this is something that I think
we've seen across the country as a lot of individual rights as well as attacks have
been made on gender rights transgender rights and getting the care that's
necessary, particularly if you're a child. And I'm wondering Ben,
how does that sit with you? >> Well, not great, if you weren't sure
about it out there in TV land, the most absurd thing about this was yes,
that's the substantive issue that was behind this
Abbotts purported law but the whole rant. This horribly
disgusting rant wasn't responding to even a statement from a lawmaker blowing
something out of proportion it was some random person,
that this host at the blaze spoke to. And so,
you can't this guy that you see here this idiot you can't just talk to an idiot
have them say something stupid about there being a trans genocide and
then go on a five minute rant. Making light of the murder of trans people
because of something that somebody not even in power said you're not even doing
it to correct something incorrect. You're just doing it to be an ass, you
can't do that, you can't do it in general. It's a disgusting conversation in the
first place but made even more horrible and crass and disgusting by the fact that
it wasn't even responding to a real story. Like he could have made up speaking
to this random person just so that they could go on this hilarious rant about
murdering children, good for you guys. You must be very proud as humans,
look in the mirror and be disgusted at yourselves the rest of your lives.
>> Yes, it's hard to take the blaze seriously at this, at this point, right?
I think a lot of those guys are auditioning,
it's like a minor league theater system for Fox news or so
they think that's why stuff like away and the blaze tends to be.
They let the freak flag fly a little bit more prominently over there cuz they
want to get noticed and making these kind of crass jokes will help them do that,
and you're welcome for the TYT views the blaze.
But I will say like these parents in Texas who might be mad
[LAUGH] that other parents are doing gender affirming
taking gender affirming measures with their own kids.
Like I don't understand what the hullabaloo is with all of that.
Like we let you guys say for me for instance,
you teach your kids about a fake god and you put them in god awful close and
you do [LAUGH] all kinds of things that I find offensive [LAUGH] but it's fine.
It's like go ahead, do what you do that's what you're allowed to do with your kids.
It's just strange that they're so obsessed with what other parents are doing with
their kids because their kids might I don't know see somebody wear a skirt or
something that they thought should have been wearing jeans and
like as their kids gonna self employed.
I don't know, I don't understand the sort of moral panic that goes on when it comes
to what these by the way, the percentage of kids who identify this way is so small.
It might be one out of every 30, 40 kids,
this just isn't an actual thing that anybody needs to address in this
sort of concerted way it's just very strange stuff.
>> Yeah, and
it's it's also very upsetting just seeing all these attacks on the trans community,
on children, on individual's rights, whether privacy rights, parental rights,
and then seeing these men sit there and mock and try to capitalize on that.
It just one of those things that makes you realize that not everybody should
have an opportunity to have their own YouTube show or
even should be exposed to other people.
But that's just my own thought
