1:16The girl with the three bears, all that stuff. There are many, many hidden messages in there that are literally destroying children. For example, the little girl going to the house of the three bears. People think, oh, that's a little girl. First of all, do you want your little daughter to walk around by herself in a forest? Is that what you want your five-year-old, your eight-year-old to learn—that you can just walk around by yourself? And then, if that's not enough, go into a stranger's house? Eight-year-old, nine-year-old little girl goes to a stranger's house. And then, if that's not enough, steals their food. Is that what you want your eight-year-old girl to do, steal other people's food? And then, if that's not enough, sleep in some stranger's bed. Oh, that's a wonderful thing for an eight-year-old little girl to go to some stranger's house, sleep in his bed. Oh, that's going to work out really well for you. Maybe "The Lion King," "The Lion King"—do you stop watching it a lot? What because he's cute? He's violating every single commandment his father gave him because he's a cute little lion. So he endangers himself and the rest of his friends' lives. So, you want your kid to learn to be like "The Lion King"? He's not going to listen to you. He's going to go with his friends and jump off a bridge because it's fun, because it's cute, and...

2:21A lot of these cartoons, if you don't understand the hidden messages, literally destroy children. It destroys children, and people don't seem to think about this because they don't have a doctorate. However, there are many books, even written by secular people, where they see how the TV and the programs of today are literally destroying the brains of children with cartoons that promote homosexuality. That does not shake you, there's something wrong with you. There's something wrong with you. There's something seriously wrong with you if you don't think it is against normalcy. It's against logic for five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten-year-old kids to learn about homosexuality. If you don't think that's abnormal... There's something wrong with you. There's something seriously wrong with you if you think it's okay for little five-year-old kids, like they are in the UK now, to be obligated to learn from transvestites about men with men, women with women, and maybe the boy wants to be a girl. This is obligated as part of their law right now in the United Kingdom, and it's coming to the US. If you think this is normal, then there's something wrong with you.

3:39Pointing out what I believe is that Hashem gave us the neshama of the children as a precious, precious gift. As a parent, it's your obligation to protect that gift, to protect that treasure by not allowing them to watch whatever looks like fun just so they could leave you alone. but actually monitor what they watch, what they insert into their brains, what they insert into their neshama, what they insert into their heart. Why? Because eventually, that will materialize into something else. Anybody ever ask, why is America the only country in the world right now that has an average of more than 1.2 shootings in a school or a public building per week? America is the only country in the world that has an average of more than one shooting per week, meaning parents send their kids to school with a 50% chance there is going to be a shooting.

4:46Why does it happen every week, more than once per week—1.2, 1.3 times per week? It's the only country in the world. Now, automatically, all the liberals are going to say no, it's because of the gun laws, because you're allowed to buy guns from Walmart. Nonsense. Why? You're allowed to buy guns from everywhere. In all the countries, in Israel, you walk around the streets, there's a bunch of people with guns. In Russia, you walk around the street, there's a bunch of people with guns. And now, in the Arab countries, everybody has a gun. You know, with a gun, you can survive, and... You conceal it there. It's in the open, you go to the train station. You see people with Uzis, see people with major guns, huge guns, but you don't see them shooting anybody. How come you don't see anybody shooting anybody in those countries? How come you don't see any 13-year-old losing their mind and shooting people? How come it's only in America? Because America is also the number one place in the world for video games, specifically the video games of shooting people. When a kid gets his first video game at six, seven, or eight years old and starts shooting people, starts shooting monsters, then starts shooting animals, then starts shooting people. By the time he's 13 years old, he's probably shot over a million people, and every year the video game becomes more and more realistic. To the point that by the time he's 13 years old, he's murdered a million people, and it all looks real. He's become desensitized.

6:06Even if he actually shoots a real person just because that real person didn't want to give him his bicycle. He doesn't feel anything, and that's why you see some of these crazy kids, these poor kids. They actually videotape themselves shooting real people because it's the same to them; it's all a video game, like the human video game. It's not even the kid's fault. It's the parent's fault. It's the parent's fault that he gave this kid anything he wanted and ruined him. Now, he has to pay for it, but not for the rest of his life. He must remember that he created a monster.
