Rogan said, “Well, that’s one of the more sinister aspects of it, for me, is the way they’re encouraging hormone blockers and hormone transition for people that are going through puberty… Or haven’t gone through puberty. We don’t have any long-term studies on this and now they’re finding that these hormone blockers aren’t innocuous, and they cause a lot of health problems. And they’re, they’re saying this now, out in the open when people have been for years, the last few years, promoting this as if it’s a pause button.”

However, Walsh called it absurd, claiming that it’s not how the human body works. Walsh said, “And it’s just absurd. Because that’s not, that’s not how human biology works. It doesn’t make any sense. It defies common sense. Even before you look at the data. Then you look at the data and you realize that yeah, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Matt Walsh revealed some facts about the drugs

The political commentator further explained that these drugs put the children in a state of suspended animation. Additionally, he said, “What you can do is try to suppress the human body’s normal natural functions. But when you do that, it’s a trade-off. There are consequences that are always consequences. That’s how nature works.”

The duo talked about the drugs that are used for hormonal transition and blocking in children. Walsh revealed that these drugs were initially intended as anti-cancer drugs. Moreover, they’re also used as chemical castration agents. Without a doubt, it stupefied Rogan with such dangerous chemicals administered to 12-year-old kids. Rogan said, “With no long-term data. And they’re promoting it as, this is the silver bullet. This is going to fix you. This is the thing that’s gonna fix all your ails.” 

Matt Walsh believed the system to be like a conveyor belt

Furthermore, Walsh made a comparison of hormonal therapy with actual surgical procedures. Even though these drugs seemingly replaced surgery, he believed that surgery would be inevitable. He termed the entire process to be a conveyor belt system that ultimately led to surgery. He said, “You’ve put them in the system, you’ve put them on, it’s like, conveyor belt system and they’re most likely not going to jump off. You start with the puberty blockers. And almost every case is going to lead to hormone therapy and then in a great many cases, they go from there to surgery.” The conveyor belt analogy seemingly sat perfectly for the scenario in the discussion.
