Now, Prime Minister Carney will soon be headed to Davos for the World Economic Forum
00:00:09.720
Conference, and so is billboard Chris Ellison, who is coming to us from British Columbia in
00:00:16.560
Surrey, B.C. As a matter of fact, Chris is a father of two girls who has taken a stand against
00:00:21.840
gender ideology. He believes that children should be free to be who they are, not indoctrinated to
00:00:28.000
believe they were born in the wrong body. Welcome, Chris.
00:00:31.600
Thank you, Mark. You know, you're the first media interview, I think, that I ever did back in 2020,
00:00:39.020
and I was so nervous at the time. And here we are again, about 2,000 media interviews later,
00:00:46.700
Well, thank you for being part of this. I still think you should be awarded a Medal of Freedom or
00:00:53.900
Order of Canada or something for what you've done. It's been amazing. You've shown such courage
00:01:00.300
standing in places where you know people are going to oppose you with a sandwich board,
00:01:07.500
essentially, saying what children cannot consent to puberty blockers. Is that correct?
00:01:14.780
Yeah, a wild concept that we shouldn't be stopping the development of children,
00:01:18.860
sterilizing kids, cutting off their body parts, telling them that they were born in the wrong body.
00:01:25.340
For me, this is one of the most abusive things humanity has ever dreamed up. And it has the
00:01:30.320
support of all these leftist governments, intergovernmental bodies like the UN, like the WHO,
00:01:35.280
like the World Economic Forum that I'm going to next week. And so we just have to keep spreading
00:01:40.720
the word because on the street where I have my office, I get 90% support. I was out in Vancouver last
00:01:47.180
night. Barely could find anyone who disagreed with me. But still, our politicians, even on the
00:01:52.640
conservative side, are afraid to talk about this.
00:01:54.960
Yeah, it's a matter of cowardice. But I think history will defend you and just find it barbaric
00:02:02.420
that we did and are continuing to do the sorts of things that we are doing. But talk a little bit
00:02:07.520
about Davos. What do you plan to do there? Why do you decide to go into the belly of the beast,
00:02:13.660
as it were? Well, you never know who you run into there. There's a lot of people. There are 60
00:02:18.900
heads of state attending. And there's a lot of people from the so-called elite upper class. And
00:02:27.020
even there, I get a ton of support. Last year, in four days, I think there were only six or seven
00:02:32.920
people who really had a major problem with me. And I had a ton of support. Because I think people get
00:02:38.860
a confused notion sometimes about the World Economic Forum. Yes, it's run by ideologues and
00:02:43.820
people who want to make us eat bugs. But a lot of the attendees are just business people. People
00:02:49.120
from that elite class who get invited. So they just go along. And there are a lot of 55-year-old
00:02:53.660
businessmen there and women who agree with me. They didn't grow up with this ideology. They think
00:02:58.980
it's abhorrent. And so I can create this interesting tension where I get the support from all the
00:03:03.840
attendees. And then the more ideological types, like the ones who were on the LGBTQ panel featuring
00:03:10.120
Sarah Kate Ellis, the president of GLAAD. They actually took my picture on the street last year
00:03:14.280
and featured me on the main screen of the World Economic Forum during their panel. And they talked
00:03:18.180
for about three minutes about the pushback going on to gender ideology. And it's evident right there
00:03:23.140
on the street. So I think it's very helpful to the world in showing that, yes, we don't like the
00:03:28.380
World Economic Forum for a variety of reasons. But look at all these attendees. They all agree with me
00:03:32.600
because ultimately they're human beings. And we need to have faith in other human beings that when
00:03:37.620
enough people learn about what's going on and learn how to message on this, that we're going to stop
00:03:40.560
this abuse. Are you feeling like you're winning? Because you go back a few years and the opposition
00:03:49.880
was probably a lot worse than it is now. I mean, is the tide turning, do you think? Yeah, we're
00:03:56.540
definitely winning. 28 states in the U.S. have passed legislation to stop this. In England, they've
00:04:01.460
stopped puberty blockers, although they're going backwards now under the Labour government and want
00:04:04.720
to do a clinical trial, experimenting on kids. In Scotland, they stopped puberty blockers and
00:04:09.400
cross-sex hormones. They've essentially stopped this throughout all of Scandinavia. In Canada,
00:04:14.820
in Alberta, Daniel Smith passed a bill and she's invoking the notwithstanding clause because,
00:04:19.900
of course, a judge tried to stop it. But she's banned this for kids under 16 years of age.
00:04:24.240
I don't know why they chose that. 15 and under? Just go 18 and under. The trans activists are
00:04:30.420
going to get just as mad anyway. And a lot of the kids being harmed by this are 16, 17, 18 years old.
00:04:36.360
And then they grow out of it. So, I mean, that bill is still a good start. And even in New Zealand
00:04:40.940
and Australia, we've had two states in Australia and all of New Zealand stop puberty blockers. So
00:04:45.060
we're winning. The opposition is the same. Because the radical left, 10% on the far left,
00:04:52.000
they are never going to stop pushing this. And people in media and in government just need to
00:04:57.900
ignore them. Because if you do anything at all to push back on this agenda, they scream
00:05:02.100
bloody murder. But it doesn't matter. It's just noise. And it goes away when you pass these bills
00:05:08.280
and we restore sanity to society. But where we're really winning is with the public becoming aware
00:05:14.020
of this issue. Because five years ago, yes, I received a lot of abuse. I still get a lot of abuse
00:05:17.620
abuse now. But nobody knew the truth about this. Nobody knew what puberty blockers were. Now I get
00:05:22.360
nonstop support, high fives, people honking their horns. And it's rare to find someone who hasn't
00:05:26.920
heard about this issue. So it's a huge change in five years.
00:05:29.760
And some of the saddest stories that we hear are from those who have gone through this
00:05:34.340
quote unquote transition with the mutilation of their parts and regret it. A year, two years later,
00:05:41.960
say, I made a huge mistake. And now my body is destroyed. And I'm now trying to send a message
00:05:49.900
to those who are even considering this, you know, don't do it. You must hear from those people as
00:05:56.840
well, occasionally. Is that right? Yeah, I hear from them. I get emails every day from either people
00:06:02.820
who've been harmed or from their parents who are trying to stop the harm. And I run into them on the
00:06:08.360
street sometimes. I was at UCLA about a year ago when a young woman named Clementine came up to speak
00:06:12.800
with me. She's a student at UCLA in Los Angeles. And she had suffered sexual abuse, which is extremely
00:06:19.400
common for these kids who show up to these gender clinics. At seven years of age, she'd been sexually
00:06:24.040
abused chronically. Naturally, this made her not look forward to becoming a woman because for her being
00:06:29.960
female was the source of all this trauma. So at the age of 12, her school counselor convinced her she
00:06:36.180
was really trans just because she didn't want to be a woman. That meant she must really be a boy.
00:06:41.260
And they socially transitioned her at school. The parents were told you have a transgender son.
00:06:45.920
They took her to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where the doctor, Johanna Olson Kennedy,
00:06:50.960
in one half hour appointment prescribed Clementine puberty blockers. At 13, she pushed her onto
00:06:55.640
testosterone. At 14, the doctor pushed her to get a double mastectomy. The testosterone caused
00:06:59.960
psychosis. She went off it at 17. The doctor wanted her to get a hysterectomy as well. That was the
00:07:05.180
final straw for Clementine. She'd had enough. But she's suing now. And this is a pretty classic case
00:07:10.320
of abuse, the trauma that comes from it, trying to escape your sex. This is very common for these
00:07:17.260
girls, for boys too. And a lot of these kids, historically, if you look at all the studies
00:07:22.320
that have ever been done into this, these kids with distress about their sex, some of them grow up to be
00:07:26.200
gay. So this is really the most homophobic movement in history as well. There's really not one
00:07:31.100
single redeeming factor to any of it. It is all based entirely on lies. And we just need to get
00:07:36.040
the truth out there. Because I'm right. When enough people learn the truth, including the
00:07:41.740
politicians, we will put a stop to this. We do have politicians now all over the world where they
00:07:45.640
weren't talking about this three years ago. Now they make this one of their biggest issues.
00:07:49.660
And let's not forget the money that is behind this. Big money in surgeries, big money in puberty
00:07:57.060
blockers and other drugs. You know, this is being pushed at a corporate level by those who stand
00:08:04.420
to gain maybe even billions, depending on how many people opt for this radical surgery and procedure.
00:08:14.500
There's money behind it, isn't it? So there is money behind it. A lot of people want to blame the
00:08:18.620
pharmaceutical companies. And of course, they share some of the blame. But to be honest with you,
00:08:22.200
they're not advertising this. The big money in this comes from NGOs. And it comes from governments
00:08:28.120
funding the NGOs. So just this week, Mackenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, she donated $45
00:08:36.360
million to the Trevor Project, which, among other things, involves a suicide hotline where kids can
00:08:44.340
call into. But then they're getting groomed. Then they're being told that, yes, your parents don't
00:08:48.860
understand. Your parents are dinosaurs. We have a safe space for you to go to if your family's not
00:08:52.800
safe for you. Yes, you are trans. And they do all sorts of educational work. They're in all of the
00:08:58.300
schools. So all this money that Mackenzie Scott just donated, it's going to go towards material going
00:09:03.320
into schools. It's going to pay for speakers to go into schools. And this continues. And it's not just
00:09:08.300
her. You could find 500 other sources pouring millions into this. There are billions of dollars coming
00:09:14.540
from these NGOs, which is inorganically pushing this into our society. Some people want to call
00:09:19.640
this a fad. Fads happen organically. Bell bottoms. Those were a fad. Weird haircuts. Those are a fad.
00:09:27.260
When something has tens of billions of dollars behind it, and all this governmental support,
00:09:31.520
that's not a fad. That is an inorganic movement that we have to put a stop to with grassroots efforts
00:09:36.620
because the people that we elect aren't the ones who are going to stop this. It's up to us.
00:09:41.280
Flat farm shoes. That was a biggie. Yes, that's a fad. Not funded by the United Nations.
00:09:50.360
Yeah, absolutely. But yeah, you also have the radical people in the school boards and in the
00:09:56.360
school system, I suppose. I mean, these people are as brainwashed as they get, I think. And sadly,
00:10:03.120
they have access to our children. Yeah, so you were mentioning school board members.
00:10:09.080
The left is very effective at getting people elected into all of these grassroots positions.
00:10:17.980
Conservatives don't typically run for school boards. So in Canada, you won't find one single
00:10:22.940
school board that is majority conservative. You won't find one. And even where you do get three out
00:10:29.580
of seven members, perhaps, like we had in Chilliwack, British Columbia, we had the left-wing NDP
00:10:34.600
government trying to fire every single person on the board because three of them were against gender
00:10:39.040
ideology. So we do need more conservatives running for these positions. But the fact of the matter is
00:10:47.880
the left is always going to have the money and they're always going to have the incentive to run
00:10:50.980
for these positions. That's just what they do. They've been doing it for decades. And so parents
00:10:55.160
need to find their voice and they need to find a little courage and they need to learn how to speak
00:10:58.380
about this because we simply can't let this continue. And Canada, amongst the Anglosphere,
00:11:05.220
we have the fewest people in positions of authority speaking up against this.
00:11:10.340
Not one member of parliament has ever agreed to meet with me. When I went to Australia last year,
00:11:16.880
I met with 20 MPs and senators. I'm making friends all over Europe. I've spoken at the European
00:11:21.920
Parliament twice. Here in British Columbia, finally, thanks to 1BC with Dallas Brody and Tara Armstrong
00:11:28.300
before they split up, they hosted me at the BC legislature. And what happened there? So I'm in
00:11:36.260
the legislature. I'm giving a very fact-based, truthful, compassionate presentation. There's no
00:11:43.360
hate involved. We need to help these kids, not harm them. But the BC Conservative leader, John Rustad,
00:11:49.160
banned all of his MLAs from attending my presentation inside the legislature. All they
00:11:54.520
had to do was walk down the hallway and not one conservative MLA would even come. And that was
00:11:59.020
just a few months ago. So yeah, we're making progress with people on the street, but in all
00:12:03.120
these positions of authority from school boards on up, no one's really saying anything. And I don't
00:12:08.640
know what it is about Canadian makeup that people are so fearful of speaking, but they have to get over
00:12:13.540
it a little bit because kids are being harmed. Absolutely. I think they're afraid of the media
00:12:17.940
more, you know, demonizing them and destroying their reputations and wrecking their political
00:12:23.480
careers. How do people support you in terms of what you're doing?
00:12:28.620
So billboardchris.com, people can click on the donate button on there. I've also started a
00:12:33.900
nonprofit in the United States. So for any Americans watching this, they can go to wespeaktruth.com
00:12:40.260
and they'll get a tax deduction for a contribution there as well. But really, I just want people to
00:12:45.760
learn about this and speak about it. That's the best way to help me. Because I don't want to be
00:12:49.540
doing this forever. I'd like to see this madness come to an end. And of course, it helps to have
00:12:54.720
some finances behind me to do more work. But we all just have to find our own voice because this
00:12:58.860
isn't the job of one person to stop. It's going to take thousands.
00:13:02.340
Billboard, Chris Ellison, thank you so much for coming on the show. I appreciate it.
00:13:08.720
And that is it for this edition of Straight Up. Appreciate you tuning in, my friends. Let's do
