Because I'm one of the Americans that are sick and
tired of our government allowing the abuse of the American people.
But when it comes to gender affirming care, which is really child abuse.
This is actually an assault and it's child abuse.
>> Okay, alright Marjorie Taylor Greene.
We're gonna show more of that video in just a second here.
But what she's saying is that a child telling their parents,
I believe this gender is right for me and then believing them is child abuse.
Weird argument to make, is it a crime?
Marjorie Taylor Greene believes so and she has plans to make it.
So let's watch this.
>> I'm introducing a bill called Protect Children's Innocence Act and
it would create a law that would cause it to be a class C felony for
any person involved in so called gender affirming care.
That means general mutilation surgery, that means hormones,
that means puberty blockers, anything involving any youth.
>> She meant what she said on Tucker Carlson because today she did introduce
a bill that would make giving gender affirming care a class C felony.
What are your thoughts?
>> Yeah. So they conflate issues all the time.
So and it's in an effort to attack trans people on LGBTQ people in general.
So we're gonna show you in a related story in a minute.
In Utah, they passed the bill and there's only one trans girl in the whole state and
it was about trans girls in high school sports.
Is that a pressing issue in Utah?
Of course not.
It's a totally irrelevant issue in Utah.
So why are the Republicans trying to do national legislation?
Legislation that is affecting almost literally no one,
because they wanna send out a message.
The message is, we hate these people, they're the others,
you should be afraid of them.
And don't worry, we're going to protect you from them.
And then they couch it under the guise of, I'm just trying to help them.
I'm trying to look out for the trans kids cuz they're not trans.
How do you know?
You don't even know them.
I know them better than their parents.
Wait a minute, the Republicans ran a campaign in Virginia saying,
the Democrats wanna teach science and history, it's a war on parents.
Well, you're saying the parents shouldn't get to
decide what their kids are gonna do.
You're gonna have a war on parents and say no, I'm taking control of your kid's life
and I'm not gonna let you make those decisions.
And of course, what I started with, which is conflating things,
they make it seem like everyone is getting reassignment surgery, okay?
No, most of the stuff is way more benign and not permanent at all.
But they put them all in the same bucket and they make it seem like anything that
says, hey, it's okay to be you is gender reassignment surgery and
they're chopping this etcetera.
They're mutilating the kids.
They said mutilating in that segment with 3, 4, 5 times.
It's just absolutely gross.
It's not an effort to protect those kids, it's an effort to target those kids.
>> Okay, let me start with, as we said,
the name of my special drink stupid don't get tired.
That could be Marjorie Taylor Greene's model.
That could be every day when she goes to work, I'm still here,
stupid don't get tired.
I honestly didn't know she was allowed to introduce legislation.
I thought they had just taken that away from her cuz she's so ridiculous.
And to me, the funniest thing in that clip is looking at Tucker Carlson and
maintain his serious face because you know,
that's the only thought he's having, maintain that face, maintain that face.
It's like you said, the hypocrisy is beyond belief that the,
we're gonna stop parents from doing what they wanna do with their children really?
Because in Florida, you want the parents to burn books.
You want conservative parents to have the ability to stop any child from learning.
So those parents that's okay.
But if a parent wants to love their child as their child is and
support their child as their child comes to them with this.
And again, like you said Cenk, they consider these people other,
but there's also, they can't imagine, but we can how difficult that is for
a child to talk to their parents about, the difficulty in feelings with.
I mean, it's hard enough being a teenager, a child going through puberty.
Everything else that you're dealing with right now, you're dealing with this, your
personal gender decisions and coming out and looking for support for your parents.
And you think Congress needs to be involved?
And not just congress Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who every day is fighting to be the dumbest person in Congress.
And that's a tough fight because the rainbow birds there and
Herschel Walker is on his way to the Senate.
So she's got a lot of work to do.
It is, I will always make jokes about it because it should be comical and
unfortunately, it is real.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
Let's get some more details out about this, Cenk mentioned the Utah story and
I think this is something that's closer to child abuse.
It's definitely treating children badly.
The rights assault on transgender kids and
the transgender community in general has some big consequences.
So, parents at one school in Utah filed a complaint and
asked the school to investigate whether a girl who had beaten their daughters by
a wide margin in competition was transgender.
A representative from the State's High School Athletics Association told
legislators on Wednesday.
People were saying things like,
this female athlete doesn't look feminine enough.
Just because she is good at sports and she is beating their kids,
they started questioning her sex.
And let's remember that 42 states have passed either anti-trans or anti-abortion
laws and more than half of the states have considered anti-trans legislation.
And Utah as Cenk mentioned earlier, did try and pass that bill and
it was vetoed by the governor Spencer Cox.
Who was a Republican governor there said, rarely has so much fear and
anger been directed at so few.
And he makes a really good point with this because among US adults,
0.5% identify as transgender.
Among youth ages 13 to 17 in the United States, 1.4% identify as transgender.
So they're really making a much larger deal about this than it needs to be.
And it's really weird and they're distracting us with these conversations
and the culture war when we could be having substantive conversations about how
to make things better in this country.
But they would rather talk about this and it really is about freedom.
This is something that I think should be a conversation within a home and
within a family.
>> So what they did was they turned a great day into a nightmare.
So she wins by a wide margin, she's thrilled.
But what she doesn't know is there's a witch hunt out to get her.
So the other parents start whispering cuz they know the right wing has passed this
law and they're like, okay.
They're judging her looks, she's going to high school and
they're like, she did a great job of winning, I think she looks like a boy.
Don't you think she looks like a man?
I bet she's a man, let's go target her.
And then they make the administration literally investigate her.
So they go back and try to go to junior high school records, elementary
school records and try to make sure, thank God they didn't do a genitalia check.
But that's next.
These guys are, they love big government and they're almost all perverts.
So they're always looking into our sex lives.
What are they doing?
What are they up to?
What's their gender identity?
What kind of sex are they having?
I wanna know is that the kids?
Let's check the kids.
And another state, we covered it passed the law saying, yeah,
we can check their genitals, they're disgusting.
So they try to ruin that poor girl's life when she did something amazing.
She won, she won by a lot.
And the bitter right wing parents, like I can't believe she beat our daughter.
Let's accuse her of being a different gender and let's try to ruin her life.
Welcome to the right wing.
That's not family values at all,
they hate everyone that isn't exactly like them and it's just a release for them.
It's emotional release cuz their lives aren't going well.
So, and what are they picking on?
They're picking on little kids, they're disgusting.
>> I hope the girl who won gets two phone calls.
One from Venus Williams and one from Serena Williams saying,
Congratulations, we've been there too.
Cuz they did this to the Williams sisters when they came in and
started whooping everybody's Assen Tennis.
They were like, they can't be girls, they are too strong to this.
And that the girl who won by a wide margin, whatever that means, whatever
support this is, was more talented and trained harder and beat your kids.
And I hope that they're that girl has the support somewhere saying you are great,
you destroyed them.
And you know what? Next time beat them by even more.
Let them know how dare they challenge your gender because you're better than them.
These little girls, that's, you wanna know how Karen's are raised?
This is how Karen's are raised.
This is how you create Karen's you lost, well, it must be someone else's fault.
It couldn't be that somebody worked harder than you.
It couldn't be that someone is better than you.
No, no, we have to report them to the government and
we have to get them investigated, there has to be something wrong here.
You know what?
You lost, you lost, okay?
That little girl blew you away in your own sport.
I cannot support her enough, I love this.
And I truly hope that the Williams sisters, that other great athletes send
their support to this girl and say, you keep doing what you're doing and
what's funny Cenk when you talk about the right wing, what is there always story?
Work hard, survive on merit, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Guess what?
The girl that destroyed your daughter, worked harder than your daughter and
it's better than your daughter, so please shut up.
>> Yeah. And the reason we don't have as many
details about this young girl and what she was competing in is because the athletic
association there in Utah is doing the best to protect her identity.
Let's hope for her sake, it stays that way.
But obviously what Marjorie Taylor Greene was arguing for
has intense consequences and she wants every Republican to be in lockstep with
her with this legislation and fighting against the transgender community.
Let's watch this.
>> We're not even a party worth deserving of the American people's votes if we
cannot protect children from this horrific child abuse and
create this to be a felony.
Because this practice has to end, it's the kind of things nightmares are made of and
these are monsters under kids bed.
>> Monsters under kids beds, the doctors and the therapists and
the family members that are giving gender affirming care to kids,
she is now calling monsters under their beds.
Which I think goes to show if you let Marjorie Greene talk for
a little bit too long, it easily gets derailed.
>> Yeah, last thing on that.
She says, no, the parents don't know, the doctor doesn't know.
Most importantly, the kid doesn't know, none of them knows.
But Marjorie Taylor Greene knows and instead of giving them affirming care, she
says their parents basically should reject them and say no we don't believe you.
We think our little girl our little boy is a liar and
I'm not gonna give you a damn thing and you should hate yourself.
And she says that there are monsters under their beds.
Well, that part is true.
It's just that you were just looking at them, Marjorie Taylor Greene and
Tucker Carlson are those monsters.
