‘Total bull****!’ Watch interviewer come completely unglued when potential 2028 Dem candidate brushes aside trans issues

Podcast host Jennifer Welch became enraged during a Tuesday episode of her show when former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel downplayed the importance of transgender issues.

Emanuel, who is seriously considering a bid for president in 2028, appeared on “I’ve Had It” and criticized the Democratic Party for focusing on “bathroom” issues at the expense of “kitchen table” and “family room” issues. Welch  vehemently disagreed and became agitated, accusing Emanuel of adopting a “right-wing media narrative.”

“That is such bull****! That is total bull****! That is buying into the right-wing media narrative and I’m so sick of Democrats like you selling out and saying this. You know who talks about trans people more than anybody? MAGA,” Welch said. “MAGA is the most genital-obsessed political party I have ever seen. [Former Vice President] Kamala Harris talked about homeownership. She talked about kitchen table issues. Trump’s over there droning on about Hannibal Lecter. Are you kidding me?”

“This is where the Democrats lose, because we’re playing the game with the rulebook — they’ve ripped the rulebook up and are cramming it down everybody’s throat. And Democrats are upset because [former President] Joe Biden pardoned his son?” she continued. “We gotta f***ing fight! They’re the gender-obsessed weirdos, not us. We’re the ones who fight for Social Security. We fight for Medicare. And yeah, we’re not going to bully trans people. We’re not going to f***ing do it. If you want to do it, fine.”

Emanuel touted his record as former Chicago mayor, saying in 2016 he “dealt with the bathroom issue.”

“It’s not my most important issue,” he said. “It was dealt with, and I appropriately dealt with [it], dealt with marriage equality, as I said.”

Welch repeated all she cares about regarding transgender issues is not bullying people who are transgender. Emanuel expressed his agreement.

Study: Number of Children Who Think They’re The Wrong Gender Surges 50X in 10 Years

New research from England shows a steep increase in children identifying as the wrong gender, sparking debate over the causes and implications. Some believe societal pressures and online influences are fueling this rapid growth in gender-related distress.

Key Facts:

  • Diagnoses of gender dysphoria rose from fewer than 200 cases in 2011 to over 10,000 in 2021.
  • Girls made up about twice as many cases as boys by 2021.
  • Over half of those diagnosed had anxiety, depression, or a history of self-harm.
  • Around 5% were prescribed puberty blockers, and 8% were given gender-altering hormones.
  • The landmark Cass review advised caution about rushing children into treatments they might later regret.

The Rest of The Story:

The University of York study analyzed thousands of anonymized GP records between 2011 and 2021.

Researchers concluded that more children than ever believe they were born the wrong gender, with one in 1,200 young people now diagnosed.

Previously, it was just one in 60,000.

A surge in mental health problems accompanied this trend, leaving experts to ponder which comes first: the distress or the gender confusion.

Professor Tim Doran, one of the authors, suggested social media and increasing public awareness may play key roles.

The study’s findings echo concerns raised by the Cass review, which argued that care must be taken before offering irreversible medical interventions to minors.

Researchers also discovered high rates of anxiety and depression in this group, calling for better mental health support.
