i don't usually think about these things
but it was after my talk last
night and so all these people line up
the individuals an unbelievably powerful
force and every single person who gets
their act together a little bit has the
capacity to spread that around it's
a chain reaction and so
it's a lovely thing to see!
It's unbelievable! Not even third world country 30 years ago  look like California right now,
like downtown. You know you go down to
the like the library. It's like Sodom and
Gomorrah I mean it's like sex, sex drugs
and rock and roll. In a library?
In the library. I mean you
should do a total segment on the library
a public library downtown Los Angeles
and I'm telling you it's unbelievable
it's like Sodom and Gomorrah! In Sweden
the government is forcing preschools to
be gender neutral. Yes! It's just as crazy
as it sounds! A school ignoring basic
biology. Children in Sweden can go to
preschool as young as one year old. In
these government mandated gender-neutral
classrooms for tots teachers hold
training events to indoctrinate toddlers
and radical progressive anti-science
gender theory. "Training Events".
Can you say communist social engineering?
Can you say creepy?!
When you look at who is the power base behind gender ideology
these groups are the ones with the power
they are the ones with the money whether
it comes from the government or whether
it comes from George Soros who has spent
hundreds of millions of dollars to
promote this this this idea...ideology is to
destroy
man and woman marriage destroy the
family and once you destroy gender, you can, you have no basis for man woman
family so this is a definite political
attempt to completely eradicate the
basis for man-woman marriage and gender
because once that's destroyed
you have no foundation. It's social
engineering but it's worse the students
aren't allowed to say boys and girls
they're only allowed to say friends does
that ring a familiar bell comrade? They
aren't allowed to use gender specific
pronouns like he or she. They're
indoctrinated only to use gender-neutral
pronouns like hen if the little girls
are too girly and the little boys too
boyish, teachers reprimand the parents
for quote "gender mistreatment".
The school is not the place to indoctrinate kids
into changing genders or giving them
books to show them that they need to
change genders or that there's all these
things going on. see this is part of the
progressive agenda replacing God with
government. Tear the family apart by
sabotaging marriage. Tear marriage apart
by redefining institutions that have
existed in our world for thousands of
years. Perhaps that's why the left is so
determined in this country to get
Christianity out of the classroom, but,
tell us something of the chilling
there's no doubt that's why they
determined! I mean people like Derrida I
mean he called the west phallogocentric
right? Male-dominated logos-centric it's
like that is the West
it's a logo-centric. If you want to take
the West down you remove the idea of the
Divine Word from the sub structure of
the society so you have to do that
it's like and this is the level at which
this war is being fought it's
fundamentally a theological war.
interesting way to think that
the freedom of speech
you say well speech is the the right to
freedom of speech is central because
it's the right by which you defend all
the other rights well that's why the
idea of logos in the west is the most
sacred concept. Right. So
Christ is think about this
psychologically is Christ is though is
the ideal of perfection; now this is the
independent of any religious discussion
or any historical accuracy doesn't
matter what Christ represents is the
perfect individual whatever that is
now you discuss endlessly what that is
but one of the things the west has settled on
is the idea well that is
that the perfect individual utters the
truthful speech that makes potential
into habitable order: does that through
truth that's embedded in the first few
sentences in Genesis for example when
when when God brings the world into
being so and the idea that that truthful
speech that brings the world into being
from formless potential also
characterizes each person that's our
form our fabrication in the image of God
that's the idea of the West it's a
unbelievably remarkable idea that
perfection individual perfection is to
be found in a relationship with spoken
truth. God! that's that's the great idea!
well it's out of that arises the
observation that there's no there's
nothing more central to the hierarchy of
of rights and obligations as well let's
say then freedom of speech yes it's
absolutely central that's why (Christ is
the "Word made Flesh") the idea is that the
perfect individual is the person who's
well who speaks truth but also acts out
the truth of those words it's a very
it's a it's a proposition whose merit is
virtually self-evident when you
understand it in that manner
so yeah people to see assaults on
freedom of speech especially compelled
speech well that's where I drew with
alignment
and I would I realize now in looking
back because now I have 73 years of
history of real life experience of
dealing with transgender issues on some
level whether it's the experience of
being a child who felt like he should
have been a different gender or going
through the teen years and adult years
and eventually undergoing surgery what I
realize is that the worst thing that
happened to me was being affirmed by my
grandmother in that the idea was that
there was something wrong with being a
boy and so when you begin to affirm
someone in the opposite gender it's a
bigger picture than that because what
you're really saying is there's
something wrong with who you are so how
do you fix that and once that seed was
planted in me I called today the seed of
gender dysphoria as it grew it began to
take over my thinking and it began to
play in my head every moment of the day
it was like having a radio on that would
never stop playing that just continued
to tell me that I was born in the wrong
body or that there was something wrong
with me as a boy wouldn't it have been
wonderful if grandma would have just sat
me down and said Walt you're a very
handsome young man
you don't need to change genders let me
affirm you as a young boy let me help
you realize who you are but that did not
happen and it's not happening today and
I read his book The Gulag Archipelago
here is this man who describes the
horrors of being a political prisoner
because he disagrees he converted he was
originally a supporter of communism he
came to see how evil it was and how
oppressive it was he was imprisoned for
having a different view to the state
ordained insistence that everything was
terrific and he writes unbelievably that
lying on his prison bunk one day
listening to the guards beat up a fellow
prisoner the screams and the yields he
found freedom when he realized the
dividing line between good and evil in
fact did fly between captor and captive
in fact the jailers were captive to to a
system to a blind ideology to an
inability to most of the trustees so
they were perpetrating the very system
that imprisoned them not between
Catholic and Baptist he wrote an
opportune woman and man not between
black and white but the dividing line
between evil actually lies somewhere
across every human heart plainly you
believe it's incredibly important that
we understand that comes back to what
you said I think when it's framed we
understand it everyone knows that
everyone knows if they think because all
they have to do is think about their own
transgressions I mean if you ask someone
to sit for five minutes and think okay
well what mistakes have you made in your
life it's like that'll come up pretty
quickly and you can even ask people what
terrible unforgivable mistakes have you
made in your life - link yeah yeah well
you know about those two it's like it's
no one's no one's so naive you know
unless unless they've really wrestled
intensely against themselves there's
virtually no one so naive to not be able
to answer those questions
but we're doing their children a massive
disservice by trying to imply that
there's nothing wrong with them no need
for guilt no need for shame no need to
come always for evil this is because the
problems the environment funny about
what's happened the problem is they've
just got a fixed society fixing
institutions well and then they'll be
all this will disappear psychologists
have been not all psychologists
obviously but the psychological
profession is there's neck deep in this
in this pathology has been beating these
self-esteem drum for 50 years
oh no you're okay you should feel good
about yourself like you're you're fine
the way you are it's like you think well
that's a calming message for people it's
like no it's not it's not at all and I
watched my audience this is like it's
full of people in the audience who think
I'm suffering a lot more than I think is
tenable a whole bunch of it's my fault
my life is not in the order it should be
I know I'm doing 50 things wrong it's
like what the hell is wrong with me
what's wrong with the people around me
this is really serious and some you know
well-meaning person comes up and says oh
you're okay just the way you are it's
like no one wants that message it's like
no I'm not okay the way I am as you're a
mess you know it obviously you're
suffering away like like so much you
could barely tolerate it it's like
that's okay you can do something about
it so yeah that's the thing that that
turns the lights on it's like you could
do something about it
oh so they're in a freezing prison cell
and the most appalling circumstances
half starved to death he finds freedom
in himself he finds something positive
and something to live for
by first coming to grips with evil and
understanding what it is
well the conundrum in and he said to
like and he underwent the Christian
process of Metanoia
which is to go over your it's it's it's
confession essentially unrepentant I
reverted back after eight years of
realizing that it's totally foolish that
it's categorically impossible to change
your biological gender sex you can make
yourself look different you can fool
people into thinking you look different
but you're not and so today as I've been
studying and writing I've written five
books and I do a lot of research work
and what I when I begin to go back and
see what's what was been going on with
this and I first looked early on at the
three people who kind of started it in
the u.s. Kinsey Benjamin and dr. money
and guess what all three of them were
paedophile activists this is the kind of
people that were leading the charge in
the US on advocating for cutting body
parts off and filling people with
hormones how barbaric it's like
Frankenstein when you think about how
gross it is to cut people up like their
piece of meat that's a supermarket and
then try to identify them in a different
gender its total insanity
but we sort of walk around well we don't
want to offend anybody people say that
I'm too harsh
well how harshest is it for them to cut
body parts off that didn't need to be
cut off how harsh was it for them to
tell me that you could change genders
when it's a total lie it is famous
Waterloo lectures implies path the
inaugural Blaise Pascal lecturer in 1978
Malcolm Muggeridge said the West was in
danger of eating itself out from within
and he spoke at great length about this
attempt to about how the the West was
abandoned in Christianity and it had
become a very empty and soulless and
financially bankrupt place as a result
but it wouldn't be the end he said
despite the attempts to kill it in
places like Communist China and Russia
there will always be people who will
fight through to the truth of course we
could see now three decades on whatever
that he was absolutely right closer to
four decades on he was right well you
know that Christianity is spreading
faster in communist China than it did in
Rome during its most rapid period of
expansion in terms of proportion of
people transform it so Christianity is
spreading incredibly quickly in China
just who would have guessed that right I
mean that's that's that just makes you
makes you shake your head but I started
to study psychology at UC Santa Cruz in
California and I began to crack open
books I'd never looked at on psychology
and it became clear to me I wasn't a
doctor but it became clear to me that
this is a psychological issue that's not
going to be treated with medical
therapies while no one else could seem
to figure that out it seemed clear to me
in that funny that was you know early in
the 80s and today still was treating
this as though it's a medical condition
no one yet today can actually show a
medical report somebody can come in and
say I have gender dysphoria
there isn't one doctor they can pass or
give a test to this person and put it up
on a screen and say oh yeah you have
gender dysphoria we take it at their
word it's a self diagnosed disorder and
what we know today is as I stand here is
this the procedure failed I reverted
back after eight years of realizing that
it's totally foolish if you think this
gender-neutral mandate the social
engineering this indoctrination this
abuse won't come here to the United
States think again political power
political power guess who's in charge
guess who's getting the money this is
the political power and the people who
are in power are
these people who believe in this
ideology even though there is absolutely
no proof that it is successful in fact
everything points to the fact that it
does more harm than it does good we have
a political group of people who are
promoting changing genders that's
causing people to attempt suicide and
yet they're totally blind to it we've
known this for over 40 years
diversity actually I mean there's no
other way to put it in this country it's
rapidly coming to mean a stifling
conformity you dare not deviate from the
line and you see it with a whole lot of
other words that are bandied around
equality being one of them yeah because
it's confused equality of opportunity is
confused with equality of outcomes well
the initial wedge was equality of
opportunity and that flew and and so
well no no it's equality and that's
equity and that's I cannot believe how
rapidly that idea which is the ultimate
and terrible ideas I can't believe how
rapidly that's spread and how little
people criticize it well that's for a
because it too uninformed analysis it
sounds good if you're feeling carelessly
compassionate you can't play the
identity politics game so what do you do
instead you you live the mythologically
heroic life as an individual that's the
right place to work and that's the
message of the West
what's the metric by which people should
be measured and the answer is they
should be measured as individuals as if
they have a divine soul they should be
measured in that manner but it can't be
a selfish thing that is to say if I
recognize I have Worth and dignity I'm
obliged to recognize it so you know I
think you can't recognize that you have
intrinsic worth and dignity without also
doing without also recognizing in others
and vice versa I don't get that I can
recognize the worth of another person
without without stumbling on to the idea
that I also have to recognize that for
myself when did you think well everyone
want that but what people don't because
you're also charged with the
responsibility of your own care as if
you matter
that's a big responsibility like it's a
lot easier to assume that everything is
pointless I mean that's painful in all
of that but well you don't bear any
responsibility and no one lives that way
no no well not for long
not for long well left not long exactly
from 1979 when Ellen Feld talked about
too much unhappiness and too many
suicides the one key thing in 2018 is
today there's still too much unhappiness
and too many suicides because it's not
working but then you can look at 2004
the UK Guardian published a report that
was done for the University of
Birmingham the University of Birmingham
looked at 100 Studies on the
consequences or results or effects of
doing gender reassignment surgery and
hormone therapy you know what the
headline was after they had reviewed
these they said gender reassignment
surgery is not effective that people
after undergoing reassignment surgery
are traumatized to the point of suicide
after undergoing the surgery okay we got
Ilyn Feld saying too many suicides he
said they need psychiatric care
we got a study of a hundred studies done
in the UK that said it's not effective
and we're still doing it today of a
miracle of Western freedom the idea that
every individual has Worth and dignity
and standing it's the idea that killed
slavery it changed the way the world
fall even though they're evil evil
people who still keep sighs and and
here's a rub it was plainly led by
people of profound Christian faith
there's no other way of putting it
anyone honestly on cern and it's
truthfully looks at the history of that
period can't get away from it yeah but
because it doesn't suit the modern lifts
narrative it's airbrushed out doesn't
matter itself say something profound
about our willingness to try and distort
truth it's a certain object how you say
what what what what it speaks of you
know it's it's it's hard it's like the
the whitewashing of what happened in in
the Soviet states in the communist
States in the 20th century I mean
anybody who goes through that literature
with any degree of care comes away
traumatized right shell-shocked it's
just it's it's it's everything the Nazis
did on a larger scale politicians in
California already want to throw nurses
in jail who accidentally misgender their
patients in the UK a teacher was fired
for referring to his class in an
all-girls school as okay girls let's get
started there was a student who
identified as transgender in his class
the teacher didn't even know it he was
fired anyway if we are not brave enough
to speak up and say biology is biology
it's not bigotry girls or girls and boys
are boys and they are equal but they are
scientifically different and this is
gonna happen here in America next you
know a great job of taking courage in
the face of farm well there's something
I'd like to say maybe in closing about
courage people say that to me and you
know I don't think it's exactly right
doesn't there's a line in the Old
Testament the fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom and I think it's
more like that it's not that I'm
courageous it's that I'm afraid of the
right things so when I made my videos it
wasn't like that didn't make me nervous
but I was less nervous about going back
to bed and not saying what I had to say
that I was about making the videos
because I know where this is going
I don't want to go there add something
beautiful that your wife said to you in
reality we are we are all broken somehow
right he said we're all broken and we
all need the redemption of Christ and
we've grown together in our faith and
we've been married now for 20 years
thank you so we don't wonder you know
it's Pascal called about the call talked
of the glory and the scum to reach our
full humanity it seems to me we need to
understand both intention now Carl Jung
the unbelievable scum that lies in terms
of our potential at the bottom of every
heart the extraordinary nobility you
call it the spark of divinity I would
say made in the image of an of a mighty
creator you've got to hold those things
in suspension if you if you defined your
real humanity and in fact you way
through the other good places surely
through the valley of darkness in the
first place that's you think well if
it's possible to be enlightened why
isn't everyone enlightened it's like
well you don't get to paradise you don't
get to heaven without harrowing hell
first right and who's gonna do that like
that's a terrible thing to do it isn't
even clear that you can survive it no I
mean it's it's it's brutally damaging to
come to terms with your own proclivity
for malevolence and so people don't do
it and it's no wonder but but the funny
thing is and this is also something that
I think that people have been watching
my lectures have been attracted by
especially the young men it's like until
you know your until you understand that
you're a monster
until perhaps you even develop that as a
capacity you don't
have the moral force to do good and so
not only is that dissent to begin with
this is necessary to scare you straight
right to make you understand what
exactly it is that you're dealing with
but you don't even have the strength of
character to be good until you
understand just exactly what sort of
monster you can be like that doesn't
work and so you watch the people around
you who thrive regardless of what they
say they act out the proposition that
everyone matters and then you have a
functional society and I think okay well
if if if when you act out the
proposition that everyone matters you
have a functional society maybe that's
evidence that that proposition is true
it's like I think it's I think it's true
I think the idea that the individual has
a spark of divinity within him or her I
think there isn't a more true way of
saying that and if you act that out well
this is goes back to the idea that you
brought up about potential which is also
something I've discussed with my
audience is a lot it's like we don't act
like we live in a material reality we
act like we face a landscape of
potential an external landscape of
potential with an internal reservoir of
potential that's how we act and then we
call each other out on it we say things
like well you're not living up to your
potential and persons go so yeah well I
know it's like well what do you mean by
that what do you mean by that
what do you mean there's more to you
than meets the eye even though it's not
measurable right it's not tangible
it's just possibility but everyone acts
as though as though that's a reality and
we all act as if we all act as if we
make choices about what reality to bring
into being we punish ourselves for our
moral errors and other people as well we
act out this this ethic that puts us
each at the center of being as active
participants in the world that we want
to bring forward everyone acts that way
and if we don't then things go to hell
instantly so it's like well what do we
believe this is the argument I've had
with people like Sam Harris the Atheist
types it's like yeah you think you're
atheist man it's like you're Christian
Judeo Christian let's say to the core
you just don't understand it you just
don't realize it and it's understandable
but it's not helpful a relationship with
Jesus I know you have a Christian faith
but I would like to know what what
what's the role that the Christian faith
play when you were in there in the hole
and they rescue the rescue well I think
you know the Lord never left me I left
the Lord and so when I began to start
working my way back to dealing with
these issues i sat down with and this is
the last question right i sat down with
a Christian therapist and we began to
talk about my life just as we are today
and all the painful things that had
happened and so as we went through these
things I had written them down on the
yellow line piece of paper and we went
outside his office and put a match to
them and torched him and let him go away
in the air and he said let's go back in
and pray and so we went back into his
office and I was not he was it got one
of these people who would pray for hours
at a time I was a person who would pray
for a minute at a time and be done with
it yes but he wanted to pray and so I
went back in and began to pray with him
and during that time of Prayer which I
had already confessed to the Lord that I
was living I had lived my life wrong and
I wanted to be redeemed and restored and
I had been working toward that in during
that prayer with my eyes closed the Lord
came to me in white he was reaching out
to me and I looked during this prayer
and I could see myself as a little baby
wrapped in cloth and the Lord picked me
up I could see that it was me and he
held me in his arms and the Lord spoke
to me and said you are now safe with me
forever and at that point I was redeemed
and restored and
been ever since thank you if I lay out
the rationale for the Christian ethic
which is something like pick up your
damn cross and struggle uphill which is
a really good message they think oh yeah
well that makes a lot of sense it's like
well I don't need the metaphysical
baggage it's like well maybe you do and
maybe you don't but even to pick up the
the the practical utility of that idea
which is overwhelming that's that's an
excellent start I was thinking the other
day some journalists asked me why the
audience why people are responding so
positively to what I'm saying the young
men for example and I thought oh yeah
that's a good question since well I'm
actually on their side I'm pretty happy
that I'm really happy that they're not
wasting their lives I'm really sad to
see that people are disenchanted and
nihilistic and depressed and anxious and
aimless and and perverse and vengeful
and and all of those things it's
terrible and then to see people question
whether that's necessary and then to
start to rise out of it it's like it's
so fun like last night I was at after my
talk it's overwhelming I don't usually
think about these things but I was it
was after my talk last night and so all
these people line up you know they have
their 15 15 seconds with me and they're
kind of tentative they're excited and a
tentative when they come up to talk to
me and then they have you know 15
seconds of time to tell me something I'm
really listening to them and they're
hesitant about whether or not to share
the good news about their life you know
and I think it's often because
when people share good news about their
life people don't necessarily respond
positively you know they don't get
encouragement and people leave so little
encouragement it's just unbelievable and
so there comes something good and I
think ah that's so good you know
somebody says oh I'm getting a long way
better with my father I haven't seen him
for 10 years and now we get along great
and then the power of that you can't
overstate the power of that for
individuals to get their life together
the individuals an unbelievably powerful
force and every single person who gets
their act together a little bit has the
capacity to spread that around it's it's
a chain reaction and so it's a lovely
thing to see and this fantastic
