Speaker 1 (00:00):
Campus madness. I think everything around here it does. We
mentioned this late in the show yesterday. I just wanted
touch on it briefly. Chris Rufo reporting the medical students
at the University of Minnesota now must take this long
oath to honor all Indigenous ways of healing that have

(00:21):
been historically marginalized by Western medicine and fight white supremacy, colonialism,
and the gender binary. So medical students are being forced
to take an oath that they will fight against the
idea that there are men and women. Seems like a
hard thing to enforce because I don't know what exactly

(00:42):
counts or doesn't count us fighting against Western medicine. But well, yeah,
affirming indigenous medicine or whatever that allows what it goes
on for sentence after sentence to um and then he
points out that the ceremony for the incoming class included
the closing speaker and u nun Yez, who specializes in

(01:03):
gender medicine. She's the Vice dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Gender medicine is uh is chopping off people's parts because
they decide that they're a different gender. Some legitimate, of course,
but when it comes to kids, it's absolutely horrifying. Uh
smestectomies for girls and pen ectomies for boys, as he

(01:24):
points out, and then I think Rufo makes one point
that's absolutely worth sharing. He says. The irony is that
these d I e I champions who imagine themselves the
vanguard of global diversity, are the most parochial or narrow
viewed people imaginable. I've traveled in Africa, Asian and Latin
America extensively, and they aren't clamoring for indigenous ways of healing.

(01:45):
They want antibiotics and cat scan machines. An excellent point.
Moving along, students at the University of Southern Maine are
in a meltdown after a professor at the college insisted
there are only two sexes. Education professor Christie Hammer brought
the hammer down on September seven, saying in front of

(02:07):
a graduate students in her class creating a positive learning environment, Uh,
she says, there's men and women. Elizabeth Leeberger, a non
binary student in the class, said to claim made her
feel under personal attack. I let her know I didn't
think she's qualified to teach a class about positive learning environments.
It's the ultimate irony. Students in the class stage to

(02:30):
walk out, demanding a restorative justice meeting with the head
of the School of Education, which is so far standing
by the professor. But the university spokesperson said, we've developed
an alternative plan for this class and we'll be opening
a new section of this course for those students who
would like to move who feel unsafe in that class.

(02:50):
So all right, waited cow to out in the lunatics,
like all colleges are. By the way, I had to
look up because I can't remember this phrase. I need
to memorize it. What you call the removing body parts
or whatever for trans kids. Yeah, they call it. An
official name for it is gender affirming care. That's that's yeah,

(03:12):
which states that ban or or or allow gender affirming care. Right,
that's and that's begging the question. It's it's acting as
if the uh, you know, it's answering the question with
the question, the question being is this something that anybody
should agree should be doing? Well, it's gender affirming. It
just affirms the gender that they're Oh, it's not like

(03:34):
mutilating them when they briefly in a period of adolescent confusion,
think maybe they're not a boy there a girl or
Vice Versey. It's not that. No, it's gender affirming care. Okay,
great campus madness rolls on, Michael, it rolls on. These
seven colleges are still mandating masks, and there are probably more.

(03:58):
It's interesting to Trum College in Connecticut, Hampshire College in Massachusetts,
Prairie State College Illinois, Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, Pasadena
City College in California, Smith College in Massachusetts, Amhurst and
Massachusetts still mandating masks in class. Wow. How crazy is that?
That's pretty crazy? How thee is? Wow? Like Pasadena City College,

(04:24):
You're surrounded in Los Angeles by places that were way
outliers for masks and they're not doing it anymore. Right, right?
And then finally this story, Uh, days after Gavin Nucelini,
the lunkhead governor of California, signed a bill that reversed
in eighteen seventy eight law naming you Sees college of

(04:49):
Law that you see Hastings College of Law, the Hastings family,
Hastings himself, um who they're trying to take his name
away because he may have been part of racist something
or other a hundred and fifty years ago. Uh. Just
we could get hung up on the idiocy of present
is m But the interesting part is the law. The

(05:11):
agreement with Hastings at the time was, if you ever
remove my name from the College of Law, you must
repay my descendants the hundred thousand dollars I donated. And
I don't have an inflation calculator in front of me,
but a hundred thousand dollars in eighteen seventy eight is
a flaming truckload of money these days. I mean, it's

(05:32):
an enormous amount of money. You gotta pay back that
hundred thousand dollars plus interest, and the interest rate is
seven percent. After a hundred forty four years, California would
owe the Hastings descendants more than one point seven billion dollars,
according to the San Francisco Chronicle. So the state's going

(05:56):
to try to fight that agreement in court. But one
of the only uh folks whose suing says, you can't
have your cake and eat it too. You took the money,
you've signed the agreement, You built this vaunted college of
law that many many alarms don't want change, and now
you want to change it. Put but keep what you've
built with our money. Uh. So this should be an

(06:18):
interesting fight going forward. Um, and and the the case
they make against this guy is just so flimsy. Back
in the eighteen sixties, there were some fights between settlers
and Indian people or whatever, and he's cattle was getting
stolen and thieved, and so he petitioned the government for militias,

(06:38):
and those militias may have crossed the line and carried
out quote unquote massacres. So you can't have his name
on the College A law anymore. Anyway, enjoy paying that
one point seven billion dollars, uh, taxpayers of California. Did
you see that Judge James Hoe, who I didn't know,
but he's of the U. S. Court of Appeals in
the Fifth Circuit, and he's you know, lower federal courts

(06:59):
are really big eels. The Supreme Court gets all the attention.
These courts should get more attention. Anyway. He recently announced
he will no longer higher higher law clerks from Yale
Law School, citing the institution supposed lurch toward liberalism. Wow, okay, yeah,
well yeah, and liberalism doesn't begin to describe it. I mean,

(07:19):
it's they're they're down the road of the woke Sheviks.
We all need to agree on a term. I mean
because the Bill Maher is not a woke Shevik. He's
a liberal, and that's fine. I could work with him,
I could break bread. It's fine. But the Wokesheviks are
dangerous lunatics.
