Host 0:15
From Jubilee Media, this is Surrounded, where one brave soul faces a room full of disagreeers. Today's guest is an LGBTQ plus activist, Xander Morix. He is the executive director of C Alliance, and today he will be debating 25 conservatives. Xander will debate the conservatives one-on-one until they are voted out by their peers and replaced by someone new. Let's get into it.

What are the claims about grooming and influence on youth?

Zander Moricz 0:39
My first claim is Donald Trump and Elon Musk are grooming more young Americans than the LGBTQ plus community. Can we agree that grooming is bad and should be punished? Um, yeah. Okay, lit. What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk use their positions of influence over young Americans to change the way hundreds of thousands of young Americans think and behave throughout elementary, middle, and high schools, which has been documented, studied, and proven to increase bullying and harm, and it infringes on parental consent.
Conservative Speaker 2 1:03
I disagree. Why? I think that what they are trying to do is not grooming but trying to
Zander Moricz 1:14
Let's define grooming. We should start by doing that. I would say that grooming is someone with a position of influence over another person attempting to change their thought patterns or behavior to exploit them. Would you agree? Right. What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are proven to have been doing that with elementary, middle, and high school children by sending targeted ads to youth demographics, accessing their rhetoric on social media, and what studies have shown, studies of tens of thousands of teachers, reported incidents, school reports, hundreds of disciplinary reports, sent to studies have proven that there's increase in bullying in places where Donald Trump... I think they have a plan.
Conservative Speaker 2 1:45
I think they have a plan.
Zander Moricz 1:45
Well, let me finish this really quickly. It's important to note that there have been thousands of cases of Donald Trump's rhetoric being linked specifically to bullying incidents that have been done by elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers who all said that they felt vindicated in their actions because Donald Trump, the president, told them that it was okay. And what we're also seeing is that in communities that have a 10-point increase in support for Donald Trump, There's an 8% increase in bullying. And the reason that this is unique is this has never happened in politics before. It hasn't mattered Republican or Democrat. It's specifically Donald Trump and Elon Musk working to change the minds of young Americans, and they're doing it for exploitative gain. Exploitive.
Conservative Speaker 2 2:21
I think that we are tired. We're tired of the left or the LGBT community. We're tired of them trying to influence the children as well.
Zander Moricz 2:32
No one's trying to influence the children, except Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Conservative Speaker 2 2:35
No, no, no. They're trying to influence the children.

What evidence is presented regarding bullying and rhetoric linked to political figures?

Zander Moricz 2:37
The LGBTQ plus community is not trying to influence children. They're trying to save children's lives.
Conservative Speaker 2 2:44
I disagree.
Zander Moricz 2:44
You can't disagree without facts.
Conservative Speaker 2 2:46
We can talk about castration. That's not saving lives. That's not saving lives. Okay. That's not saving lives.
Zander Moricz 2:51
I want to break that down because it's a scary concept. If people were actually chemically castrating young Americans, I would also be freaking out. I would also have problems. But when we work with the medical professionals, when we talk to the psychologists, when we work with the families, we see that that is not happening. We see that that's not happening. There are 0.01% of young Americans that are receiving non-reversible gender-affirming care. And in 90% of those cases, that was life-saving. saving care, that is life-saving care. Tragedies happen, medical mistakes happen. Let's talk about society as a whole. Do more people regret their gender-affirming care or do they regret knee surgery, hip replacement, LASIK eye surgery?
