Chapter 2: What are the claims about grooming and influence on youth?

39.113 - 48.701 Zander Moricz

My first claim is Donald Trump and Elon Musk are grooming more young Americans than the LGBTQ plus community. Can we agree that grooming is bad and should be punished? Um, yeah. Okay, lit.

0

48.841 - 63.313 Zander Moricz

What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk use their positions of influence over young Americans to change the way hundreds of thousands of young Americans think and behave throughout elementary, middle, and high schools, which has been documented, studied, and proven to increase bullying and harm, and it infringes on parental consent.

0

63.993 - 71.822 Conservative Speaker 2

I disagree. Why? I think that what they are trying to do is not grooming but trying to

0

74.721 - 83.844 Zander Moricz

Let's define grooming. We should start by doing that. I would say that grooming is someone with a position of influence over another person attempting to change their thought patterns or behavior to exploit them. Would you agree? Right.

0

84.144 - 99.348 Zander Moricz

What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are proven to have been doing that with elementary, middle, and high school children by sending targeted ads to youth demographics, accessing their rhetoric on social media, and what studies have shown, studies of tens of thousands of teachers, reported incidents, school reports, hundreds of disciplinary reports,

99.648 - 105.15 Zander Moricz

sent to studies have proven that there's increase in bullying in places where Donald Trump... I think they have a plan.

105.17 - 105.93 Conservative Speaker 2

I think they have a plan.

105.95 - 120.675 Zander Moricz

Well, let me finish this really quickly. It's important to note that there have been thousands of cases of Donald Trump's rhetoric being linked specifically to bullying incidents that have been done by elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers who all said that they felt vindicated in their actions because Donald Trump, the president, told them that it was okay.

120.855 - 132.26 Zander Moricz

And what we're also seeing is that in communities that have a 10-point increase in support for Donald Trump, There's an 8% increase in bullying. And the reason that this is unique is this has never happened in politics before. It hasn't mattered Republican or Democrat.

Chapter 3: How is gender-affirming care for transgender youth discussed and debated?

Chapter 4: What evidence is presented regarding bullying and rhetoric linked to political figures?

105.95 - 120.675 Zander Moricz

Well, let me finish this really quickly. It's important to note that there have been thousands of cases of Donald Trump's rhetoric being linked specifically to bullying incidents that have been done by elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers who all said that they felt vindicated in their actions because Donald Trump, the president, told them that it was okay.

0

132.48 - 140.584 Zander Moricz

It's specifically Donald Trump and Elon Musk working to change the minds of young Americans, and they're doing it for exploitative gain. Exploitive.

0

141.104 - 152.074 Conservative Speaker 2

I think that we are tired. We're tired of the left or the LGBT community. We're tired of them trying to influence the children as well.

0

152.194 - 154.816 Zander Moricz

No one's trying to influence the children, except Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

155.316 - 157.158 Conservative Speaker 2

No, no, no. They're trying to influence the children.

157.178 - 163.203 Zander Moricz

The LGBTQ plus community is not trying to influence children. They're trying to save children's lives.

164.024 - 164.524 Conservative Speaker 2

I disagree.

164.684 - 166.086 Zander Moricz

You can't disagree without facts.

Chapter 5: What are the arguments around drag queens and LGBTQ+ representation in public spaces?

Chapter 6: How do medical consensus and scientific studies relate to transgender issues and care?

365.837 - 366.197 Zander Moricz

It's horrible.

0

366.217 - 367.177 Conservative Speaker 3

Republicans do it, right?

0

367.357 - 368.998 Zander Moricz

Some people whose favorite color is yellow do it, too.

0

369.198 - 387.968 Conservative Speaker 3

Yes. But my point is, is that for the sake of argument, I would say I agree. But I kind of reject the initial premise because... And even this ties into your previous point, because I think what you're actually trying to say is that the agenda that LGBT activists- There is no agenda. Everyone has an agenda. It doesn't matter.

0

388.228 - 393.111 Zander Moricz

Will the LGBTQ activists make it sound like there's a coordinated agenda when in reality there's a bunch of people who want equal rights?

393.131 - 395.012 Conservative Speaker 3

Well, if you're an organized group, you have an agenda.

395.032 - 397.254 Zander Moricz

We're not organized. I promise we're disorganized.

397.354 - 412.583 Conservative Speaker 3

Okay. Well, for the sake of argument, let's just say every group has some kind of focus and things they're trying to accomplish, right? That's not exclusive to one party. Sure. But the reason I think what you're trying to say is that LGBT groups aren't the issue. Gun violence, stuff like that is the issue.

412.603 - 412.903 Zander Moricz

Exactly.

Chapter 7: What are the concerns about LGBTQ+ rights, political movements, and societal impact?

916.591 - 916.571 Conservative Speaker 7

270,000?

0

916.611 - 923.236 Zander Moricz

Yeah, I don't really care about credentialism. I don't care about credentialism. You don't care about people being educated, and that's a problem.

0

923.376 - 938.788 Conservative Speaker 7

I'm trying to attack this point ontologically. I'm trying to get you to make a truth claim about trans people. Okay, let's do it. The first thing that trans people could be claiming to, could make a claim about themselves. There's four things. The first thing, and I'm going to go through them really quick, and then you could respond to them.

0

938.908 - 940.77 Zander Moricz

That their gender doesn't master birth sex, period.

0

940.81 - 941.57 Conservative Speaker 7

So the first thing.

941.81 - 941.951 Zander Moricz

Yes.

942.831 - 949.355 Conservative Speaker 7

could be a sexual perversion. So that has always existed. Men dressing up like women for a sexual fetish has always existed.

949.375 - 950.496 Zander Moricz

That's not a sexual perversion.

950.917 - 951.617 Conservative Speaker 7

That is a perversion.

Chapter 8: How do gun violence and healthcare costs compare to LGBTQ+ acceptance in terms of youth harm?

953.358 - 953.558 Conservative Speaker 7

Yeah.

0

953.959 - 954.219 Zander Moricz

Really?

0

954.359 - 956.12 Conservative Speaker 7

Okay, agreed. Agreed.

0

956.4 - 959.522 Zander Moricz

Agreed. That has weird vibes. So let me just finish.

0

959.542 - 963.245 Conservative Speaker 7

What about Brett Kavanaugh? I don't think those claims were substantiated, but yeah.

963.265 - 964.385 Zander Moricz

What about our vice president?

964.686 - 967.407 Conservative Speaker 7

No, he didn't have sex with a couch. That was obviously fraudulent.

967.447 - 969.409 Zander Moricz

No, no, no. What about the fact that he dressed up as a woman?

970.049 - 972.392 Conservative Speaker 7

That was a Halloween party. So, look, we're getting off topic.
