Transgender Kids Are Not a Threat, Greg Abbott: Week In Review | The Amber Ruffin Show

it's been a crazy week in america let's find out what happened ukraine was attacked this week by russian forces and republicans know just who to blame for it russia announced that it had destroyed more than 70 military targets in ukraine which is a weird flex but then again putin is known for flexing poor horse the hollywood reporter published a list this week of the 24 best presidents in film and tv which included morgan freeman in deep impact and chris rock and head of state and president biden in this film two hops this time [Applause] oh my god you guys you'll never be able to play the amount that this actually happened it went on for so long guys and now you can go ahead and take a look for that clip every show i'll never get enough of it texas governor greg abbott on tuesday ordered the state's child protective services to investigate all trans children and to prosecute their parents as child abusers he also ordered the general public to start reporting any transgender children they see well you heard the man the law says everyone in texas has to start reporting trans kids to authorities so it's only right that we give you some tips on how to identify any trans children that might be in your midst tip number one the children so keep your eyes peeled for anyone short vulnerable and in no way a threat to you whatsoever if you see someone that fits this description there's a real possibility that they are a trans child call the cops tip number two they look and act like everyone else so if you see a child acting totally normal there's a chance they're trans warning signs may include playing hopscotch giving cooties shots and having dimples if you see a child doing any of these things place a hysterical call to 9-1-1 tip number three they are afraid trans people have a nearly one in 10 chance of being physically attacked in any given year that's a real fear they carry with them every day so if you see a trans kid make things worse for them and call the fbi tip number four they're experiencing homelessness transgender and other lgbtq identified youth make up 20 to 40 percent of the homeless kids in our country so if you notice a young person struggling to find housing do what jesus would do call a swat team tip number five they're tired of your trans kids are all different unique perfect human beings but they all have one thing in common they're tired of hateful adults inserting themselves into their business so if you see a child who seems exhausted by your it is possible that they are trans call your congress person tell them to call the president because that's a code red and hey make sure to do it now before you realize how utterly obsolete you are and how the world has moved past its need for you or you could off back to the monologue google wrist i hurt my hand while i was pounding but it was so great it was so impassioned i believed you did it it still hurts i should have done that google recently rolled out a new version of its so-called dark mode that changes the theme from dark gray to true black now you can tell if you're in true black because your screen will look like this it's black you know huh it's a nancy pelosi screen too [Applause] slide to the left slide according to a new survey 40 of americans said they don't enjoy gossiping at all said the other 60 what is their deal the kids animated series arthur ended this week after 25 years it taught kids pretty much everything except what an aardvark looks like george washington's birthday was this week so celebrate by being a terrible person and then covering it up with a charming antidote about a cherry tree and finally i said antidote but it's antidote antidote antidote you say it i thought antidote was what you take if you're poisoned and that's antidote antique dote was that just poisoned yes there's only one cure crisscross fly to the left side to the right and finally authorities in denmark asked the public this week for help locating a loose kangaroo so if you've never seen a loose kangaroo here's one and that was the monologue did you guys like the monologue i'm glad you like it because we have a no return policy now there have been so many people who have contributed to black history in really big ways and i'm sure you know their names but i want to kick off our celebration tonight by taking a moment to celebrate some lesser-known black people who have made black history in a segment called black history baby [Music] this is vanetta flowers in 2002 she became the first black athlete from any
