| 0:00.0 | Really, the degree to which, like, we'll watch rising eugenic, white supremacist, |
| 0:07.0 | evangelical authoritarianism, like being codified into law. |
| 0:12.0 | And, like, the New York Times, like, whatever liberal response is like, oh, don't worry, |
| 0:17.2 | it's just messaging. |
| 0:18.5 | It's like, oh, my God, you know, I've been really angry in trying |
| 0:22.5 | to sort of drum up, you know, support and allyship from, you know, non-trans, so-called allies |
| 0:30.2 | are just progressive groups. And I'm like, what will it take to wake you up? These are not |
| 0:34.6 | just cultural badge issues. And I really think that there's a problem in the sort |
| 0:39.1 | of democratic, you know, kind of liberal establishment where I guess they just have never learned |
| 0:44.7 | any lessons from history, but haven't even learned any lessons from the last five years. |

| 1:30.3 | It's the same playbook that they, that they, you know, developed around lots of other issues |
| 1:34.5 | like anti-abortion, where they pass bills that are obviously illegal and unconstitutional. |
| 1:39.2 | But that's not the point. Their failure is priced in. It's part of waging a broader, |
| 1:43.4 | you know, anti-democratic assault on women's rights and reproductive freedom. And, you know, this is not that different. It's like we're talking about taking away people's health care and their ability to go to public school.
