00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:06.173
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Bearded Mystic Podcast, and I'm your host, rahul N Singh.

00:00:06.173 --> 00:00:44.460
So today we're going to talk about something which I told you about yesterday, and we would do because America is in a state where, if you had to look up the definition of dharma and karma, the leadership that is in all branches of government, whether that's judicial, whether that's congress, including the senate and the presidency is all compromised.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:46.082
The Senate and the presidency is all compromised.

00:00:46.082 --> 00:01:19.194
Yesterday, the only people that benefited from that state of division speech because, let's be honest, america is divided, it's not united, and that was proven in November but the only two people that were really proud of that speech was Putin and Elon Musk, and, frankly, elon Musk should have delivered half of that speech because he's kind of running the show.

00:01:19.194 --> 00:01:26.293
He's the one thing they deny, but Trump admitted that he is.

00:01:26.293 --> 00:01:34.414
He's leading DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, which is causing havoc.

00:01:34.414 --> 00:01:48.200
It's going to reduce people's social security, medicaid, but unfortunately, if you voted for Trump, you kind of get what's coming, but the people that didn't.

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.908
You don't deserve this and this is why you must speak up.

00:01:51.289 --> 00:01:59.442
So we're going to look at this from a non-dual perspective now, when he gave his speech to congress, his address to congress the convicted felon.

00:01:59.442 --> 00:02:08.330
He made several statements which were factually incorrect and we're going to go through a few of those in a bit later.

00:02:08.330 --> 00:02:19.354
And you know whether he was speaking about immigration, to economic conditions, to energy resources and transgender rights.

00:02:19.354 --> 00:02:26.454
He literally was just speaking misinformation like there was no other business.

00:02:26.454 --> 00:02:30.449
And if anyone had to fact check it would be such a difficult job.

00:02:30.449 --> 00:02:43.674
Because how are you meant to fact check someone who's a serial liar, who probably tells three lies per minute, and the person who is having to fact check literally gets overwhelmed.

00:02:43.674 --> 00:03:01.949
But what you should do if you've got a brain cell and unfortunately there are people who come onto this channel and like to defend the indefensible convicted felon well, all I say is why don't you look at fact-checking?

00:03:01.949 --> 00:03:04.591
Because you know what it can be beneficial to you.

00:03:05.913 --> 00:03:19.569
And now, whenever these inaccuracies are talked about, whenever they are politically spoken of or even hinted towards, let's be honest, they have real consequences.

00:03:19.569 --> 00:03:22.628
You know, they erode public trust.

00:03:22.628 --> 00:03:24.145
We've seen this with immigrants.

00:03:24.145 --> 00:03:31.810
It deepens divisions, we see this very clearly and it distorts the shared reality.

00:03:31.810 --> 00:03:36.792
And this was very obvious from the moment we experienced COVID.

00:03:36.792 --> 00:03:41.127
I mean, like before things were rather kind of.

00:03:41.127 --> 00:03:44.593
You know, you didn't see as distorted.

00:03:44.593 --> 00:04:09.176
But after COVID, the way the MAGA Republicans denied the reality of COVID is despicable and the amount of misinformation they shared, especially from people like Joe Rogan, who is a sellout and is none other than someone who is swimming in the ocean of misinformation.

00:04:09.176 --> 00:04:20.600
They have distorted the shared reality, they have deepened divisions and, most of all, public trust in government goes down.

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:23.490
Now, this is exactly what Trump wants.

00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:37.668
The convicted felon wants you to not trust government so it can keep cutting the government down and therefore create a gap and then, when people cannot live a good life, he can then control them.

00:04:37.668 --> 00:04:39.651
The whole point is to control.

00:04:39.651 --> 00:04:53.406
He is a natural born dictator, he wants to be a dictator, he's aiming to be a dictator and he's surely bringing that about From now.

00:04:53.406 --> 00:05:01.232
You know, let's look at a factual standpoint and let's be very honest, because we're going to look at this from a non-dual perspective here.

00:05:01.232 --> 00:05:17.565
So Trump's claims about illegal border crossings being at a historic lows, well, uh, or inheriting a failing economy and the us having the largest oil and gas reserves, are demonst, uh, are crazily.

00:05:17.565 --> 00:05:23.595
Uh, demonstrably false data from independent agencies.

00:05:23.595 --> 00:05:35.540
Yeah, this is not from left-leaning people, the right-leaning people contradicts these assertions and they reveal a pattern of exaggeration and misinformation.

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:47.608
This is seen with trump he exaggerates and he misinforms and he bombards us with information like that and that's why it's really hard to keep up with him.

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:51.583
Now his remarks on transgender rights.

00:05:51.583 --> 00:06:15.084
You know, framing that gender affirming care is widespread and unregulated and insisting on the binary understanding of gender, that there's only male and female um, it just ignores the established medical and scientific consensus and anyone that thinks oh, there's so many transgender people, they're in their sports.

00:06:15.084 --> 00:06:15.887
You know what?

00:06:15.887 --> 00:06:17.333
Grab a book and read.

00:06:17.333 --> 00:06:18.156
You know what.

00:06:18.156 --> 00:06:28.175
That's what you're lacking and you know, I can't believe you can even just go by someone who cannot read himself actually.

00:06:28.175 --> 00:06:33.269
So use your brain a little.

00:06:34.372 --> 00:06:43.642
Yeah, check things out that he spoke about yesterday.

00:06:43.642 --> 00:06:51.435
They don't just mislead, which is considerably, weirdly enough, minor in this.

00:06:51.435 --> 00:06:54.440
It just sows discord.

00:06:54.440 --> 00:07:12.858
It deepens misunderstandings and strips dignity from already communities that are marginalized, that are seen as lesser human beings, and this is something I don't think, from any spiritual perspective, you can support.

00:07:12.858 --> 00:07:20.596
I'm sorry, if you claim to be spiritual and you're okay with that speech yesterday, you need to check your spirituality out, because I'm telling you right now.

00:07:22.012 --> 00:07:28.814
You cannot support this on any level, especially from the East there's certainly, I mean, even from Jesus.

00:07:28.814 --> 00:07:31.901
I mean Jesus would be horrified at this.

00:07:31.901 --> 00:07:34.932
You know, forget the Sermon on the Mount.

00:07:34.932 --> 00:07:37.218
You probably would be like that's so woke.

00:07:37.218 --> 00:07:42.158
But you know what, by the way, on this channel we're happy to be woke.

00:07:42.158 --> 00:07:49.762
Woke, we're happy if it means to like, care about people and put people on an equal level, and you find that to be woke.

00:07:49.944 --> 00:08:03.418
Well, I'm glad to be woke and I'm happy to be woke because I don't want to be a cry baby like you anti-woke people who cry at the just the hint of equality playing out, like literally.

00:08:03.418 --> 00:08:07.733
You cry like little babies and crying about transgender rights.

00:08:07.733 --> 00:08:15.053
Where, tell me, I don't even know any person personally, who who's going through this.

00:08:15.053 --> 00:08:18.723
So it's not a lived reality for me.

00:08:18.723 --> 00:08:21.307
I know someone who is a.

00:08:21.307 --> 00:08:31.644
I know a friend of mine who knows someone who is transgender and the fact that that person cannot have rights, I mean that's disgusting.

00:08:31.644 --> 00:08:33.697
I'm totally against that.

00:08:33.697 --> 00:08:35.576
I don't care what you think.

00:08:35.576 --> 00:08:39.980
How can you turn around and say that person's wrong for what they feel Like?

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:40.522
Who are you?

00:08:40.522 --> 00:08:43.712
Who are you to say that Literally?

00:08:43.712 --> 00:08:44.256
Who are you?

00:08:44.256 --> 00:08:45.606
Who are you to say that, literally, who are you like?

00:08:45.606 --> 00:08:51.539
Disgusting, but anyway, back to the crazy boy, convicted felon.

00:08:51.840 --> 00:09:03.743
But let's give you the non-dual perspective because you see, when it comes to misinformation, we need to understand that it's problematic from a non-dual perspective is really problematic.

00:09:03.743 --> 00:09:11.681
Yeah, because non-duality really teaches us that reality is not divided in rigid opposites.

00:09:11.681 --> 00:09:21.332
So you can't be like you know this, you know we're not there to be like this is true and false, right and wrong, and us and them, that stuff is not done.

00:09:21.332 --> 00:09:23.057
There's not an us and them especially.

00:09:23.057 --> 00:09:23.557
That stuff is not done.

00:09:23.557 --> 00:09:25.120
There's not an us and them, especially that one especially.

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:37.440
You know, when it comes to the world, yes, there is certain things where we know to be factually true and factually wrong or false, but when it comes to the us and them, that's not cool.

00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.645
When you create division like that, that's not, that's not non-duality, that's not non-duality.

00:09:47.350 --> 00:09:52.250
So what we emphasize, and what this podcast continuously will emphasize, is that we're an interconnected completeness.

00:09:52.250 --> 00:10:06.159
We are a whole community where clarity and truth and awareness emerge when we see beyond these artificial divisions sowed by people like the convicted felon and his MAGA Republicans.

00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:12.386
So misinformation, by contrast, actually thrives on fragmentation.

00:10:12.386 --> 00:10:21.696
Doesn't tell you the complete truth, tells you a partial truth and then finds a way to blow that up over proportion, and so you believe that nonsense.

00:10:21.696 --> 00:10:31.720
Yeah, because you're already being affected by the convicted felons issues, but you don't want to deal with that.

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:46.630
You don't want to deal with the fact that your hero is none other than the biggest villain on the planet, is making a bigger swamp than he inherited and, trust me, by doing all these cuts is not cutting the swamp, is creating a bigger swamp of oligarchy.

00:10:48.153 --> 00:11:04.673
So anyway, um, this ultimately, um, you know, puts people in ideological camps, and we've seen this with covid, we've seen this with anti-vax people and, uh, you know, it puts them into whether you believe in science or you don't believe in science.

00:11:04.673 --> 00:11:06.778
Like what nonsense are we coming to?

00:11:06.778 --> 00:11:18.644
Where the scientific consensus is, you know, vaccines work and the fact that we have to defend that point is so stupid, so silly.

00:11:18.644 --> 00:11:24.158
And and all this does, um is on both sides.

00:11:24.158 --> 00:11:34.029
It creates the fear, of fear of the other, and therefore it kind of obscures the fact that we're all one fabric of existence.

00:11:34.029 --> 00:11:38.934
We all come from the same source.

00:11:38.934 --> 00:11:57.240
So many human beings, so many people you know 70, over 70 000 people believe in someone who spread misinformation on a daily basis, on a minute to minute basis?

00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:04.500
How can you actually see the wholeness, the same fabric of existence with those people?

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:23.500
And that's why you know there's such thing as righteous anger, this anger where we want everyone to be given the same rights, that anger which is not about harming other people but actually about reducing the harm for this.

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:26.197
That's what this is about.

00:12:27.190 --> 00:12:48.043
So, frankly, whenever there's a leader that distorts the truth, just like the convicted felon continuously does and his co-president Musk, they reinforce the illusion of separateness, they set up conflicts between citizens, between us Republicans and Democrats.

00:12:48.043 --> 00:12:50.197
They erode mutual trust.

00:12:50.197 --> 00:12:55.659
Frankly, I do find it difficult to trust someone who voted for Trump.

00:12:55.659 --> 00:12:56.341
I do.

00:12:56.341 --> 00:12:57.764
I frankly do.

00:12:57.764 --> 00:13:03.243
It's a lot of work where I've had to understand that they don't represent who they vote.

00:13:03.243 --> 00:13:05.932
I've had to understand that they don't represent who they vote.

00:13:05.932 --> 00:13:15.238
But even if they did vote for him, they have all the tools available right now to see that their voting was wrong, and they should.

00:13:15.238 --> 00:13:35.490
If they're men, they should man up and, you know, just admit they made the wrong decision Because, trust me, it's going to stay with you and if you're a woman and you voted for Trump, you've got to also woman up and admit that you voted for someone who wants to take your rights away.

00:13:35.610 --> 00:13:51.960
So we will never come to an authentic connection and understanding until we admit what is the truth, when we and and this is on the media too the media groveling to trump, I mean, is ridiculous.

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.910
The media should be separate.

00:13:53.910 --> 00:14:06.924
The media should be independent and it should not be groveling to anyone and should just be, and it should just keep its kind of premise, its existence, based on facts alone, not opinion pieces, facts.

00:14:06.924 --> 00:14:15.024
And no way should oligarchs like Bezos dictate what should be said in the news and not.

00:14:15.024 --> 00:14:20.280
And if things are an opinion, then it needs to be open that it's an opinion and not fact.

00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:27.817
But when it comes to actual reporting events, it should be purely fact-based.

00:14:27.996 --> 00:14:30.602
So, from again, from a non-dual perspective.

00:14:30.602 --> 00:14:39.802
You know, yes, misinformation misleads, but it creates a world where people act from delusion rather than from wisdom.

00:14:39.802 --> 00:14:58.140
You know, if you have someone that's anti-vax, they're so deluded you cannot talk to them in wisdom and neither will they be able to understand the non-dual brahman or the formless awareness if they lack that common sense, that common intellect.

00:14:58.140 --> 00:15:04.722
So, you know, and their policies will be based on fear rather than knowledge.

00:15:04.722 --> 00:15:06.456
Same thing with immigrants.

00:15:06.456 --> 00:15:08.879
They'd be like, oh, there's too many people taking our jobs.

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.687
No, there isn't.

00:15:10.687 --> 00:15:21.163
If you want nobody, no immigrant is after my job and uh, and you need to.

00:15:21.163 --> 00:15:33.558
And if if there is a lack of jobs, then you need to speak to your local representatives and make sure you're heard, because I bet you you're just typing this up on facebook or instagram or x?

00:15:33.558 --> 00:15:35.662
X and not actually dealing with the issues.

00:15:38.043 --> 00:15:53.663
So, yeah, so from a non-dual perspective, you know, truth is not just merely, you know, factual accuracy that's one part of it, but it's a state of clarity which allows individuals and societies to function in harmony.

00:15:53.663 --> 00:15:56.578
And this is something that Trump does not want to happen.

00:15:56.578 --> 00:15:59.597
That convicted felon does not care about you.

00:15:59.597 --> 00:16:04.280
He only cares about him and his billionaire bros.

00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:17.298
So, when we think about this, leadership at its highest should always guide us towards truth and not away from it.

00:16:17.298 --> 00:16:23.658
You know the fact that he, like I mentioned yesterday, he banned the ap from the white house briefings.

00:16:23.658 --> 00:16:29.356
That means he doesn't want people to go towards truth, he wants people to be away from it.

00:16:30.558 --> 00:16:44.385
Um, you know, if we're a society and we're honest in saying that, we want unity and we want to prioritize honesty, transparency and inclusive understanding of reality, then that's what we've got to say.

00:16:44.385 --> 00:16:53.975
We've got to prioritize those things and say this is what we want from our government, this is what we want from our government officials, this is what we want from our representatives.

00:16:53.975 --> 00:17:00.210
If they're not honest, if they're not transparent and if they do and they are not inclusive, we don't want them in government.

00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:01.312
Simple as that.

00:17:01.312 --> 00:17:16.800
Anyone who's dishonest, who who puts a veil on truth, who puts a veil on the reality, who creates division, that person shouldn't be nowhere near government office, nowhere near.

00:17:18.722 --> 00:17:30.736
Uh, and misinformation, whether you know it's intentional or not, or maybe you know the convicted felon is really stupid, I mean, it's possible, um, but it is a form of veiling reality.

00:17:30.736 --> 00:17:38.066
And again, if non-duality is about seeing reality as it is, you cannot be in misinformation.

00:17:38.066 --> 00:17:45.644
You've got to have an intellect that is sharp that Vivek has to be sharp so you can see misinformation and not fall under that trap.

00:17:45.644 --> 00:17:47.737
Yeah, it's easy actually.

00:17:47.737 --> 00:17:50.638
It just requires a bit of time for reading, that's all.

00:17:50.638 --> 00:18:00.739
So by doing this misinformation, it keeps people trapped in projection, and you see that play out on social media.

00:18:00.739 --> 00:18:02.016
It's all projection.

00:18:02.016 --> 00:18:03.895
None of it is based on truth.

00:18:03.895 --> 00:18:08.701
And whoever speaks the truth, their content is always hidden.

00:18:09.569 --> 00:18:28.039
Uh, so if we are going to move beyond divisions, um that such rhetoric creates, then then we must cultivate discernment, we must cultivate vivek, we must cultivate wisdom, we must cultivate compassion, that compassion to see everyone as ourselves.

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.517
Yeah, love thy neighbor.

00:18:30.517 --> 00:18:31.934
That's something that Jesus said.

00:18:31.934 --> 00:18:36.259
You know, I bet a lot of Christians have forgotten that.

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:37.875
Who voted for the convicted felon?

00:18:37.875 --> 00:18:39.319
And guess what?

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:40.876
Your neighbor's also an immigrant.

00:18:40.876 --> 00:18:43.695
You know that's what Jesus meant.

00:18:43.695 --> 00:18:49.438
He didn't actually physically mean your neighbor, he meant anyone that you come across is your own.

00:18:49.438 --> 00:18:54.478
So love them and the commitment to seeing reality as it is.

00:18:55.650 --> 00:18:56.150
And that's why I use Ground News.

00:18:56.150 --> 00:18:57.273
I'm not sponsored by them, that's why I use Ground News.

00:18:57.273 --> 00:18:59.721
I'm not sponsored by them, but I tell you, use Ground News.

00:18:59.721 --> 00:19:04.119
It tells you the factuality, it tells you where the sources come from, who owns the newspaper.

00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.136
It tells you everything you need to know.

00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:23.855
Pay for the subscription so you can see how you can be misled easily and you can see how other people are misled easily by looking at that, see how other people are misled easily by looking at that.

00:19:23.855 --> 00:19:33.296
So that way you know that you're not falling under the trap where you know it's, when you see reality as it is, rather than seeing how politically convenient it is to portray a projection.

00:19:33.296 --> 00:19:38.111
So you know, you want to see reality as it is, you want to see the truth.

00:19:38.111 --> 00:19:48.073
So, in confronting misinformation, it's not just about simply correcting facts, it's about dissolving delusion completely.

00:19:48.073 --> 00:20:11.118
So the path to a more just, compassionate and united world lies in recognizing the interconnected nature of all beings all of us, not just in america, everywhere and refusing to be misled by narratives that seek to divide rather than reveal the inherent unity that underlies everything.

00:20:11.118 --> 00:20:15.134
But right now, that's what I believe from a non-dual perspective.

00:20:15.134 --> 00:20:17.259
Do I believe the Democrats should do that?

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:30.159
No, I think the Democrats should equally push the narrative that we're all one and we want to treat people with compassion.

00:20:30.159 --> 00:20:31.442
And this is how we're going to do it.

00:20:31.442 --> 00:20:34.480
What he's doing is seeking division, seeking division.

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.890
We've got to make it clear it.

00:20:38.890 --> 00:20:40.053
What he's doing is seeking division, seeking division.

00:20:40.053 --> 00:20:40.694
We've got to make it clear.

00:20:40.714 --> 00:20:43.823
But, um, anyway, uh, so I promised you that I would look at some of the claims that he made.

00:20:43.823 --> 00:20:52.180
So, um, the convicted felon claimed that the illegal border crossings are at their lowest.

00:20:52.180 --> 00:21:02.920
So fact checking that it's inaccurate um, while there have been fluctuations, data does not support the assertion that crossings are at historic lows.

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.564
So you know, there's that.

00:21:05.564 --> 00:21:22.577
So trump also claimed the convicted felon that he inherited a dire economy upon taking office from biden, and this is false because key economic indicators, such as employment and growth, were strong prior to his presidency.

00:21:22.577 --> 00:21:30.659
Biden did actually quite well, yeah, and, by the way, the egg prices are still going up under Trump.

00:21:30.659 --> 00:21:32.262
He's done nothing to bring them down.

00:21:32.262 --> 00:21:34.520
He promised he would, but he hasn't done that.

00:21:34.520 --> 00:21:36.450
Our grocery bill still going up.

00:21:36.450 --> 00:21:38.955
He hasn't done anything with that, so just letting you know.

00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:47.666
Trump also claims that the us possesses more oil and natural gas reserves than any other nation, and again, incorrect.

00:21:47.666 --> 00:21:52.637
Other countries have larger estimated oil and natural gas reserves than the?

00:21:52.637 --> 00:21:52.838
U.

00:21:52.838 --> 00:21:59.993
So social security yeah, this is a crazy one, because him and Musk have doubled down on this.

00:21:59.993 --> 00:22:09.602
He suggested that many centenarians people over 100, have received social security benefits due to database quirks.

00:22:09.602 --> 00:22:11.267
This is misleading.

00:22:11.267 --> 00:22:19.463
While there are database issues, they do not result in a significant number of improper payments.

00:22:19.463 --> 00:22:20.873
That's not happening.

00:22:20.873 --> 00:22:22.657
People who are dead aren't getting paid.

00:22:24.722 --> 00:22:33.402
He claims that he's ended the federal electric vehicle mandate, and that's incorrect, because there was never, never any federal mandate.

00:22:33.402 --> 00:22:36.890
It was a non-binding goal set by their previous administration.

00:22:36.890 --> 00:22:46.285
And trump also states that, and this is the ridiculous one, and this is what I mean like.

00:22:46.285 --> 00:22:54.142
Trump states that not long ago, only one in 10 000 children were diagnosed with autism, whereas now it's one in 36.

00:22:54.142 --> 00:23:04.906
Okay, so the fact check here is the one in 10 000 figure dates back several decades before the definition and awareness of autism expanded.

00:23:04.906 --> 00:23:15.453
The current estimate of one in 36 reflects improved diagnosis and broader criteria, not necessarily an actual increase in prevalence.

00:23:15.453 --> 00:23:23.239
And this is what happens when you can't think for yourself and people blame you on that vaccines.

00:23:23.239 --> 00:23:27.852
You see how dumb it it is to think that the common sense is.

00:23:27.852 --> 00:23:31.778
We got better ways of reporting this today, you know?

00:23:31.778 --> 00:23:34.721
Um, it's just, it's ridiculous.

00:23:42.829 --> 00:23:43.250
So the Panama Canal.

00:23:43.250 --> 00:23:43.751
Let's look at that one.

00:23:43.751 --> 00:23:52.141
He claims that 38,000 American workers died during the construction of the Panama Canal and that Panama ceded control of the canal to China.

00:23:52.141 --> 00:24:02.138
Fact check is this approximately 5,600 workers died during the American construction phase, not 38,000.

00:24:02.138 --> 00:24:04.766
It's a very big misleading hit there.

00:24:04.766 --> 00:24:06.891
And Panama controls the canal.

00:24:06.891 --> 00:24:09.037
It has not been ceded to China.

00:24:09.037 --> 00:24:14.412
So, again, massive misinformation and he doesn't really care.

00:24:14.412 --> 00:24:32.820
Trump claims that Doge has found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and the Doge website states that the department has generated 105 billions in savings, with evidence supporting only 19.8 billion of that total.

00:24:32.820 --> 00:24:42.233
It's unclear how much, if any, is related to fraud, but the fraud is that he claims it's 105 billion in savings.

00:24:42.233 --> 00:24:47.902
That's a fraud that elon musk is claiming that.

00:24:47.902 --> 00:25:03.645
And then also he claims that inflation was perhaps the worst in history under President Joe Biden, and that's incorrect because while inflation rates did rise, they were not the worst in US history.

00:25:03.645 --> 00:25:11.413
And this is why he's so silly.

00:25:11.472 --> 00:25:29.869
And I just want to say that Trump obviously referred to gender affirming surgeries and that it's chemical and surgical mutilation and suggests that all of these procedures are widespread and performed without proper oversight.

00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:40.250
That characterization is incorrect, is incorrect.

00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:45.542
The American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics recognize gender affirming care as evidence-based and medically necessary for transgender youth.

00:25:45.542 --> 00:25:51.361
Additionally, surgical interventions for minors are exceedingly rare.

00:25:51.361 --> 00:26:02.345
The majority of gender affirming care for adolescents involves non-surgical treatments, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy, administered under strict medical guidelines.

00:26:02.345 --> 00:26:05.859
So not everyone's just getting that type of care just like that.

00:26:08.190 --> 00:26:10.693
So he mentions that.

00:26:10.693 --> 00:26:20.099
You know that he's made it official policy to for the American government to say there's only two genders, male and female.

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:35.950
But let's be honest, this policy that he's claiming contradicts established medical and scientific understanding, which acknowledges a spectrum of gender identities beyond a strict male and female binary.

00:26:35.950 --> 00:26:37.155
This is science.

00:26:37.155 --> 00:26:44.500
Yeah, this is not, um, a political motivated uh thing that the democrats did.

00:26:44.500 --> 00:27:01.617
But you can see, that was just a bit of the lies that he said and uh, all I can say is I've said a lot today, but I want you to understand, from a non-dual perspective, that all this craziness is just going to continue.

00:27:01.617 --> 00:27:04.030
It's only been six weeks and it's going to get worse.

00:27:05.413 --> 00:27:09.441
All we have to do is one remember to remain in formless awareness, number one.

00:27:09.441 --> 00:27:21.005
Two, always keep your intellect alert and keep yourself away from biased understanding, whether that's from the left and the right or the center.

00:27:21.005 --> 00:27:33.243
Just make sure that everything you read is factually based and wherever there is factual inaccuracies, do not read that and certainly do not repeat that.

00:27:33.243 --> 00:27:38.800
The other thing I'm going to say is also stay away from social media.

00:27:38.800 --> 00:27:42.930
I think it's time for people to stop using social media.

00:27:42.930 --> 00:27:54.338
Um, I don't think it's benefiting anyone, but if you are using social media, do not be shy in utilizing your voice for the truth, that's all.

00:27:55.280 --> 00:28:03.438
And anyone that wants to comment on supporting the convicted felon and his government and all these other people, you can do so.

00:28:03.438 --> 00:28:06.364
I don't care, I will hit back.

00:28:06.364 --> 00:28:20.046
And also, if you want to look at people who've given a good take on what's happened, um, I particularly love, um, I've had it to podcast ihip news.

00:28:20.046 --> 00:28:21.311
They're pretty good.

00:28:21.311 --> 00:28:37.240
Bernie sanders did a response, brilliant, as always, and, um, you know, look up uh, anyone else, uh, like karl kalinsky, uh, from secular talk, he did a great analysis, and so did pod save america.

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:48.892
So, um, yeah, this is time that we really think about keeping our sanity and remember, stick with the truth and the truth will stay with you.

00:28:48.892 --> 00:28:52.056
Okay, take care, everyone, namaste.
