Speaker 1 (00:00):
Then this story from Florida. The New York Times, of course,
taking this point of view, Florida schools try to adapt
to new rules on gender, bathrooms and pronouns. As the
school starts. It's been more paperwork and coloring of reading
lists as well as new regulations about bathrooms, And the
tone of the article is talking about how parents and
teachers are having a bit of a struggle filling out

(00:20):
the paperwork and coming to terms with the fact that
Florida now has a rule. No, you're not allowed to
call Jimmy Jenny without telling the parents, So the parents
have to sign permission slips, etc. Etc. Permission slips to
view sexually explicit material and that sort of thing. And
of course The New York Times takes the point of

(00:41):
view that look what Ron DeSantis has done, the maniac.
Look at all the trouble people are having to go
through to navigate all these new rules. It's a beautiful
example again of you instill are install changes in schools
that people find out rageous, came out of nowhere. Nobody

(01:03):
voted on them, nobody among parents. Well, I shouldn't say nobody,
because there are the woke, lunatic soft heads who go
along with this stuff. But like all of a sudden,
you're teaching eight year old six year olds the gender
bread person and having them read sexually explicit gay sex
manuals for teenagers and activist staff or trying to convince

(01:28):
your confused adolescent because every adolescence confused, trying to convince
your confused adolescents that they're actually the other sex or
gender or whatever term you want to use. And Florida
stepping in saying, whoa, hey, whoa. We can't have radical
teachers taking charge of their classrooms to do all this
brand new, super radical stuff. You remember we played that

(01:49):
clip yesterday of what's his name, the Prager, Dennis Prager
Bill Maher four years ago saying nineteen, yeah, twenty nineteen,
men can't mess menstruate, and everyone was like, nobody thinks

(02:10):
that nobody would plain that.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
What are you talking about, bragger?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You paradois lunatic. And this is Bill Maher who's a
liberal and his liberal guests and liberal audience, and ah,
do we have a short version of it? Yeah, go ahead,
why not?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
These are giant left wing live we're talking about degree.
You say that men can menstruate is a lie, and
that is now, that is what is said.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Wait, I've heard of that.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Okay, check it out, faults, check it out. I think
one who says a man why not men'strue eight was
considered transphobia.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I missed this whole story.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You tell me where where are you getting? Just google it?
Can men menstru weate? Who is saying this?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
You're saying very small?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Really? Then how do you allow men biological men to
run against women in the races in Connecticut? And said
all the high school records. Okay, but that's what they're
called men. No, no, nation, I would and said, there
there women can. But I would agree with you on that.
The way you framed it is nonsense. No, I framed
it perfectly. No, no, no, you didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
What you're talking about is, yes, someone who is transgendered
was a man now claims to be a woman as
a woman, okay, is beating the dogs out of other
women in the race because of course they had more
muscle mass. And even Martina Navratilova came out and said,
this is ridiculous. You might not might as well not

(03:34):
have women's boards. This is a far cry from saying
men can menstru weight. I agree but that's not where
anyone went with that, but no true, Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
All right, that's where not where anyone went with it,
but you So we've gone in four years from an
extremely well informed, very bright connected man of the left
having not even heard of this and saying that's such
utter nonsense. Nobody would ever claim that. In four years,

(04:06):
we've gone from that too. They're teaching it to your
children in schools and if your kids disagree, or if
you disagree, you're a transphobe and a hater. In four
years and Florida Rondo Santis are saying, hey, this is

(04:26):
not cool. We got instilled rules so radicals can't take
over our schools and start indactrinating our kids. And to
the New York Times, that's the radical move to stand
up against that. Four years
