    Transcript from the article:

    “Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”

    “So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.

    El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”

    The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”

    Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”

      I think something is lost in converting it to text. Something of the essence of the moment really… You have to see it and hear it.

      But, here, we cans ee something important about both Watters and El-Sayed-- Watters fancies myself some newer, better Tucker Carlson, but isn’t smart enough to realize that he has Carleson’s same weaknesses and is not nearly as clever nor adroit as Carleson-- something El-Sayed is both clever and adroit enough o take advantage of in this moment, and does, both warning Watters of beforehand before baiting a trap and drawing Watters witlessly into it.

      So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?

      How insane that these are the questions. Ask him about UFOs and Bigfoot next.
