Transcript
00:00:01.000
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Scrimetti, a case that centers on
00:00:08.860
children's rights to be protected against the predation of so-called gender-affirming
0.91
00:00:15.900
We will be analyzing this case and some of the arguments today.
00:00:19.700
We will also be looking at a new movie called Dear Santa, starring Jack Black, that seems
00:00:32.520
And I wanted to get to the Daystar scandal, more of it today, because I have received your
00:00:39.780
messages asking for clarification and more details.
00:00:46.240
We didn't have time today, but I did hear you and we've got more headed your way.
00:00:52.360
Today's episode is brought to you by CrowdHealth.
00:01:16.720
Chief Relatable and I took a quick trip to Palm Beach and we had the honor of going to Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:23.160
This was not a Trump event, but it was at Trump's residence.
00:01:27.700
It was a wonderful event for PragerU and we were so happy to be able to attend, to be
00:01:33.420
invited to go and we got to hear Glenn Back speak.
00:01:37.960
He gave an amazing speech and showed people some of his incredible historical artifacts
00:01:44.300
that really just give a lot of meaning to the founding of the United States.
00:01:48.120
And so it was a wonderful time and it was great to just be able to celebrate the good
00:02:02.000
Oh, I was so glad to be able to catch that on camera.
00:02:19.260
Of course, he didn't have to, and he kept it concise.
00:02:24.580
And then as the music was playing, Trump gave us his little Trump dance.
00:02:30.880
Also doing the Trump dance alongside Glenn Beck.
00:02:33.980
I was glad to have a front row seat for that.
0.65
00:02:37.000
I have never actually met the president in person.
00:02:44.360
Um, I've met him, I guess, over the phone when he generously came on relatable a couple
00:02:50.460
of years ago, but I've never had the opportunity to meet him in person, but I hope, I hope I
00:02:55.540
get to do so the next couple of months starting in January are going to be so fast paced and
00:03:02.200
interesting as we get to watch the Senate confirmations.
00:03:05.120
We've got the inauguration as always, there's going to be so much to talk about, but before
00:03:10.960
we get into the crazy news that is going to be nonstop starting in January, I did want to give
00:03:18.280
us some more lighthearted content. And so I just filmed a hospitality hosting cooking centered special
00:03:27.240
that is going to be available only to blaze TV subscribers. It's kind of the theology of
00:03:34.140
hospitality. I am talking to, uh, my friend, Abby Kirkendall. She wrote an amazing cookbook
00:03:42.560
called the living table. And she talks about hosting and hospitality in every stage of life,
00:03:49.200
whether you are single, whether you're in college, whether you are a busy mom of five kids or an
00:03:56.180
empty naster, the call that we have to hospitality, generosity, bringing people into community and
00:04:04.940
fellowship by hosting them. It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be Martha Stewart level
00:04:11.200
cooking or decorating. It just has to be welcoming, inviting. And it was a really beautiful time that
00:04:18.380
we had together. You guys are going to absolutely love this special episode. It's only available to
00:04:25.040
blaze TV subscribers. You can go to blaze tv.com slash Ali. That's where you can subscribe. I think
00:04:33.440
you can use a code. It's not on this maybe Ali 10 for 10% off. If there's a higher discount, we'll put
00:04:40.980
it in the description of this episode, but you don't just get access to that. You get access to all kinds
00:04:46.540
of subscriber exclusive content, not just from me, because we've got a few things that are behind the
00:04:51.860
paywall, but also from every other host on blaze, blaze tv's network. And it's really important to have
00:05:00.800
subscribers because we just never know what's going to happen on YouTube or any of these other tech
00:05:07.400
platforms that are just so censorious and seem to be very flippant and sometimes arbitrary and what they
00:05:16.980
decide to censor and whom they decide to de-platform. So that keeps us safe from the censors. And it's a
00:05:24.100
way for you to share the arrows with us as well. So go ahead and subscribe blaze tv.com slash Ali.
00:05:29.200
That will be out on December 9th. Super excited about that. Let me see. Do I have any other announcements?
00:05:37.040
We still do have a merch sale going on. You can go to alimerch.com. I think Ali 30 gets you 30%
00:05:43.240
off if I remember correctly. Nope. That was just that one day, Brie says. It is not available anymore,
00:05:50.880
but you can still go to alimerch.com and use code Ali 10 and get 10% off. I thought it was all week
00:05:59.160
this week. That's what I thought. It was just Cyber Monday snooze you lose. Sorry. But related bros out
00:06:07.300
there or related gals out there. Get something for the relatable significant other in your life. All
1.00
00:06:14.580
right. We've got a lot to get into today. So let's go ahead. Let's go ahead and start. I really want to
00:06:20.220
talk about United States versus Scrimetti and the case that is being heard right now at the Supreme
00:06:27.740
Court. If you have not listened to or watched yesterday's episode with whistleblower Jamie Reed,
00:06:33.940
the account that she has of what went on at the gender clinic where she worked in St. Louis is
00:06:40.560
absolutely chilling. If you have people in your life who do not understand what is going on
00:06:47.580
to children in the name of so-called transgender care or gender affirming care, you have to watch or
00:06:57.240
listen to yesterday's episode and send it to everyone in your life. They need to know the
00:07:03.600
reality of what is being done to children. And that is at the center of this Supreme Court case.
00:07:11.160
So we're going to break it down. Arguments were heard yesterday. That was the first day. This will
00:07:15.780
continue. We won't know the conclusion for some time, but it's really important that we're paying
00:07:21.680
attention to this and that we are praying about this. The prayer of a righteous person has great power
00:07:27.520
as it is working. And gosh, did we not see that manifest itself in the election of Donald Trump?
00:07:33.580
And that has an effect in every other area of governance too. We cannot control what God decides
00:07:42.240
to do, but he does command us to pray and he works through our prayers to accomplish his will.
00:07:49.580
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments and the most anticipated case of the term
00:07:54.940
U.S. v. Scrimetti, a case that could determine the future of experimental so-called gender affirming
00:08:02.020
care in the United States, particularly for children. So here's some background on that.
00:08:08.000
In 2023, Tennessee passed SB1, a bipartisan law that protects children by restricting access to puberty
00:08:14.720
blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery to minors for reasons attributed to gender. The ACLU,
00:08:22.540
the American Civil Liberties Union, which used to actually care about civil liberties like the
00:08:29.780
First and Second Amendment, but now everything must submit to radical progressive ideology. That is
00:08:36.060
really what they're fighting for, not the civil rights of Americans. So the ACLU filed a lawsuit
00:08:42.360
against Tennessee on behalf of two parents of a trans-identifying girl, along with two other
00:08:48.520
anonymous young people seeking to force the state to allow these harmful procedures. Later in the
00:08:55.320
process, the Justice Department, so Joe Biden's administration, jumped in to argue on behalf of
00:09:01.880
the families. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Scrimetti, who is in charge of defending the state's
00:09:07.600
laws, is named as the defendant. So that's where you get the name, U.S. v. Scrimetti. The case made its
00:09:16.180
way through the federal court system to the Supreme Court, where attorneys from the Tennessee Attorney
00:09:21.240
General Scrimetti's office defended their state's law. So we'll give you more details about this
00:09:27.440
background in just a second. Let me pause and tell you about our first sponsor for the day,
00:09:31.420
and that is Every Life. Every Life is the only Christian pro-life diaper company, which is kind of
00:09:37.620
crazy. You want all diaper companies to be pro-life. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Some of these bigger,
00:09:43.600
cleaner brands are actually very dirty in the sense that they are using your money to fund
00:09:49.380
abortion causes and to fund pro-abortion politicians. I don't know about you, but I don't want to buy
00:09:56.900
diapers from someone who doesn't believe that the babies inside them had the right to live when they
00:10:03.560
were inside the womb. And so that's why I love supporting Every Life, not only because they are
00:10:09.040
unapologetically pro-life. They donate their money to pro-life causes and pregnancy centers. They
00:10:15.220
provide free resources to pregnant moms in need. They make sure that all of their pregnant and adopting
0.85
00:10:21.760
employees are fully taken care of and can be with their families as much as possible. But also,
00:10:27.880
they have great products. We love their diapers. Those are the only diapers that we use in our home,
00:10:34.520
and they really work. You don't have to worry about leaks, but you can also trust that they're really
00:10:38.380
clean ingredients. If you go to everylife.com, use code ALLY10 for a 10% discount on your first
00:10:45.220
order. Everylife.com, code ALLY10. All right, let's look at the timeline a little bit. So the Supreme
00:10:56.300
Court heard almost two and a half hours of debate and oral arguments yesterday on Wednesday. There's
00:11:02.620
only one day of oral arguments, and then from there, the justices deliberate to vote and write their
00:11:08.760
opinions. A decision in the case is expected by this summer. Okay, so this takes a long time.
00:11:17.160
They've got a lot of cases to listen to, and then they come out with their written decision. You'll
00:11:23.280
remember all of that when they were hearing the Dobbs case a few years ago, and it wasn't supposed to be
00:11:29.020
until June, but then the decision was leaked. It's crazy that we still don't know who leaked the Dobbs
00:11:35.920
decision, by the way, and endangered the lives of the conservative justices, but maybe one day that
00:11:41.640
will be revealed to us. Maybe the Trump administration can get to the bottom of that. So that will be
00:11:47.780
revealed next summer. The court's decision in this case will affect not only Tennessee, but the entire
00:11:54.440
country. Currently, 25 other states have enacted similar laws that protect children from this
00:12:02.140
quote-unquote gender-affirming care since 2021. Before we get into the explanation of what the law
00:12:11.080
is, what is actually being defended and argued on each side, I do want to point out how difficult it is
00:12:18.980
for the average person to learn about this case and to learn about this subject. Now, you and I have
00:12:27.320
been talking about this for several years. We know all of the tricks. We know the arguments. We know the
00:12:35.000
euphemisms. You've probably read Toxic Empathy, so if you didn't know before, you do now, that the words
00:12:42.980
that they use do not mean what they actually mean. They start with this circular, nonsensical,
00:12:50.880
propagandistic mantra, trans women are women. And as Matt Walsh proved to us, they can't actually define
00:12:58.500
woman. And so the motto is actually meaningless. They can't even define what it means to be a trans
00:13:05.480
woman because they can't define what a woman is. And so they start with an axiom that makes no sense
0.88
00:13:15.100
because their entire movement is based on a lie. This lie that gender and sex are separate, that you might
00:13:23.620
be born with certain biology, but that's really arbitrary. It's really meaningless. Who you really are is how
00:13:31.260
you feel on the outside. The sex that you have was just a sign to you at birth. They made an observation,
00:13:39.920
the doctors of your genitalia, and said, yeah, that looks like a boy. That looks like a girl. But really,
0.94
00:13:47.660
you didn't know who you really are until you were maybe a little bit older and you had this sense of
00:13:53.960
self. And that sense of self is your true identity. And you must bend external reality to conform to
00:14:03.660
your inner identity. Now, most people who purport this ideology do not realize the roots of their
00:14:12.160
belief system. It really goes back to paganism, Gnosticism, dualism. Nancy Piercy writes about this
00:14:21.120
so poignantly and love thy body. This idea that body and spirit are separate and that your body is
00:14:28.480
actually subservient to your spirit, your spirit being your true authentic self, your body just kind
00:14:35.180
of being arbitrary. But what she argues is so important that no, our bodies have a telos. We have
00:14:42.880
to have a teleological view of the world, which means we view the world through the lens of purpose. We
00:14:48.900
understand that a bird's wings have a special purpose, that a bird cannot be an elephant, that an elephant
00:14:55.740
cannot be a squirrel. You actually judge what something is by their body and what it does. We believe in a
00:15:04.160
God who made us and made the world with order and intention, that when he made us male and female, he wasn't
00:15:12.580
talking about only our biology and he wasn't talking about an inner sense of self. He was talking about who we are
00:15:21.340
biologically and in the fullness of our identity. And the Christian worldview believes that the body matters. We don't
00:15:29.960
believe that the physical, that the physical is irrelevant or insignificant or arbitrary. We actually
00:15:38.840
have a very high view of the body. We have such a high view of the body that we believe that we were made
00:15:45.380
in the image of God. We see the importance of the body and God's creation of male and female, his designation
00:15:52.480
of male and female, the creation of marriage, the direction to be fruitful and to multiply between
00:16:00.220
one man and one woman. We see the significance of the body in that we worship an Emmanuel, a God with
00:16:08.000
us, a God incarnate who became flesh and dwelt among us. We see the significance of the body in Christian
00:16:16.060
theology when we are told there will one day be a resurrection of the bodies, that we will one day be
00:16:22.220
given new bodies. We care so much about the body. In fact, a Christian believes that the body for the
00:16:32.200
believer is a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. You hear that phrase a lot. It's a biblical phrase
00:16:38.300
that the body is a temple. It's a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Therefore, what we do to the body
00:16:45.120
matters. And while we as Christians do not abide by the ancient laws of Israel, we can take
00:16:52.080
the principles that we see there and see how much God cares about what is put on the body, what is put
00:16:59.400
in the body, that part of our sacredness is how we treat the body. We believe that the body has
00:17:06.940
dignity. We believe that how we are treated and what we do to our own bodies, to each other's bodies
00:17:13.440
matters a lot, especially when it comes to children. Children who cognitively simply cannot
00:17:22.540
consent. Their frontal lobe is not fully developed, which means they can't even see the consequences
00:17:30.760
long term of their actions. They are uniquely vulnerable. And that is why children in ancient
00:17:37.660
times in pagan Greece and Rome were objectified. They were used as sex slaves, as cheap labor.
0.73
00:17:44.080
They were often aborted. Infanticide through exposure was widespread in this culture. And it
00:17:51.560
was Christians who changed the game there. It was Christians who said, no, we worship a God who came to
0.97
00:17:59.140
earth as an embryo, who was heralded by the kicks of an unborn John the Baptist, who was worshiped as an
00:18:06.440
infant in a manger by the angels and the shepherds and the wise men who said, as a teacher, let the
00:18:14.540
little children come to me for such as these belong the kingdom of heaven. We worship a God who says that
00:18:20.900
he stands up on behalf of the fatherless, of the vulnerable child, of the orphan. And so Christians
0.92
00:18:29.620
changed the world. We have always been protecting children from the slaughter. Everywhere Christians
0.99
00:18:38.040
have gone, we have said the pagan child sacrifice will end now. The butchering of children, the
0.87
00:18:46.740
objectification of children will end now. So that is, I just want to give you the backdrop of the
00:18:54.480
Christian perspective on the body, on gender. Genesis 127 is super clear on this and our responsibility
00:19:02.940
to advocate on behalf of truth and to pray for what is going on here. The other side of this issue,
00:19:11.080
there's no nuance, there's no gray. It is evil. It is evil. And Tennessee not only has the right,
00:19:19.660
but is right and righteous to have a law like SB1 that protects children from the predation of profit
00:19:28.680
minded doctors who want to butcher their bodies, stop their puberty, put them on cross sex hormones
1.00
00:19:35.840
for money and for power, for political expedience. So here is the language in Tennessee SB1 that the
00:19:44.800
Biden administration is suing them over. Again, how can a Christian vote Democrat?
0.99
00:19:50.360
A health care provider shall not knowingly perform or offer to perform on a minor or administer or
00:19:56.040
offer to administer to a minor a medical procedure if the performance of the administration of the
00:20:01.220
procedure is for the purpose of A, enabling a minor to identify with or live as a purported identity
00:20:07.900
inconsistent with the minor sex or be treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordant
00:20:13.900
discordance between the minor sex and asserted identity. The bill also notes that it is not a
00:20:21.560
violation of this bill if a health care provider knowingly performs or offers to perform a medical
00:20:26.940
procedure to a minor if the performance or administration of the medical procedure is to
00:20:31.700
treat a minor's congenital defect, precocious puberty, disease, or physical injury. So sometimes
00:20:39.960
there are cross sex hormones or puberty blockers that are used in children not to try to get them to
00:20:45.060
look like the opposite sex, but because they have other kinds of medical diagnoses that actually
00:20:50.640
can be helped or healed or mitigated in some way by these medications. They're saying that's fine.
00:20:57.360
You can't give these things to a healthy child just because they say that they are the
00:21:01.480
opposite sex. The Biden administration, however, and the ACLU have argued that the law violates the
00:21:08.800
constitution's guarantee of equal protection in the 14th amendment and should be examined with the
00:21:13.440
higher degree of legal scrutiny required by such cases. U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth
1.00
00:21:20.000
Prologar, I'm not actually sure exactly how to pronounce that. Brie will correct me eventually if I'm
00:21:27.540
representing the Biden administration, emphasized that SB1 singles out gender dysphoria as the sole
00:21:34.800
basis to ban access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy because young people who are not
00:21:40.860
transgender identifying can still have access to those drugs for other medical purposes. They argued
00:21:46.660
that because the law prohibits access to drugs only when used in a manner that is inconsistent with the
00:21:52.800
sex that a young person was assigned at birth. The law draws a line based on sex. So that is what they
0.92
00:22:00.080
are arguing that this is discrimination based on sex because of the purpose that a young person would have in
00:22:11.960
taking one of these medications is to try to present as the opposite sex. Um, and because it like their sex is
1.00
00:22:25.800
significant in that. And this is part of the argument that actually the U S is, is making here saying that
00:22:33.480
you are like, if a boy walks in and he says, I want to be placed on estrogen and you told that boy,
00:22:43.420
no, but a girl walks in and says, I want to be placed on estrogen and say it was for some other,
0.95
00:22:48.600
like totally legitimate reason or what the like doctor would say is a legitimate, a legitimate reason,
00:22:55.900
a non-gender dysphoria reason. You would say yes to the girl. You would say no to the boy. The U S is
0.96
00:23:01.840
arguing that would be discrimination based on sex, which violates the equal protection clause of the
00:23:07.780
14th amendment. So because the Biden admin argues, this is discrimination based on sex. They believe
00:23:14.640
that the court must use a higher level of scrutiny, which would require Tennessee to prove they have a
00:23:20.720
compelling interest behind the challenged policy and that the law is narrowly tailored to achieve its
00:23:29.060
results. Now on the other side, Scrimetti in Tennessee argued that it is simply exercising
00:23:34.200
its power to regulate the practice of medicine for all youth is not distinguishing based on a patient's
00:23:41.440
sex, but is, but it is based on the so-called discrimination is actually based on what the
00:23:47.660
medicine is being used for. Matthew Rice, Tennessee solicitor general argued that the application of SB1
00:23:55.380
turns entirely on medical purpose rather than drawing lines based on the sex of the patient. In an interview
00:24:03.180
with the daily signal, Tennessee attorney general, Jonathan Scrimetti said the fundamental question of the
00:24:08.540
Supreme court case is does the mere fact that hormones affect kids differently mean that any regulation of hormones
00:24:15.940
for kids is going to be a constitutional issue. There is a lot in this that we will not get to today.
00:24:25.680
There is a lot of legalese. There are a lot of details that we will need to have an expert on in the coming
00:24:31.460
weeks to really break down for us. We might be able to do that or maybe we'll wait until the decision
00:24:37.540
actually comes down. We can have our friends from ADF perhaps break this down for us. So I'm trying to
00:24:46.100
give you as much of a layman's interpretation as I possibly can just to try to get our heads around
00:24:51.400
it. And I'll continue to give you a little more commentary about this from people who have more
00:24:56.940
experience and expertise in just a second. But let me pause and tell you about our second sponsor,
00:25:01.280
and that is America's Christian Credit Union. So they're actually in a partnership right now with my
00:25:05.380
last sponsor, Every Life. They are partnering to sponsor diapers for new moms who are choosing
00:25:13.100
life. So ACCU will donate a box of Every Life diapers to a Christian pregnancy resource center
00:25:18.920
for every new member who opens a checking account before January 31st. This is a monumental moment to
00:25:26.640
come together and fight for the unborn. So join these two incredible organizations in that effort by
00:25:32.440
switching where you bank. We're worried about debanking these financial institutions that
00:25:38.100
now think that they can just cut you off because they don't like your beliefs or maybe they don't
00:25:42.660
like the gun that you just bought. You don't have to worry about that with ACCU. They are on your side
00:25:48.120
and they make switching really easy. All the details are available at americaschristiancu.com

Credit Union is federally insured by the NCUA. In an article for World Magazine, Daniel Arser,
00:26:12.500
he's an attorney. He was a senior advisor for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. He kind of breaks down
00:26:17.900
what the arguments were yesterday. Liberal Justice Elena Kagan told the Tennessee side that the
00:26:26.940
medical purpose claim is a dodge when the purpose of SB1 is to ban treating, quote unquote, gender
00:26:32.560
dysphoria, which she said is utterly and entirely about sex. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, she's always
00:26:39.780
got a lot, lot, lot to say. I don't know if y'all have seen that graphic going around the graph that
00:26:45.620
shows like how many words in the last session each justice said in Ketanji Brown Jackson. It was like
00:26:53.000
tens of thousands of words more than any of the other justices. She says a lot. She doesn't really
00:26:59.740
bring a lot of substance to what she says, but she said that she compared Tennessee's ban on child
00:27:08.100
transition surgeries to Virginia's ban on interracial marriage, which was struck down by the Supreme Court
00:27:13.120
in 1967. She claims they are similar because Virginia law determined one's marriage eligibility
00:27:18.120
on race, while the Tennessee law determines one's eligibility for puberty blockers on one's sex that
00:27:26.320
is assigned at birth. Again, Tennessee is saying, no, it's because of what it's for that we are allowing
00:27:34.440
discrimination. You can't use these so-called or these medications, these puberty blockers, cross-sex
0.99
00:27:41.880
hormones, just to get someone to try to identify as the opposite sex. Now, unfortunately, hospitals
00:27:47.660
get around these kinds of laws. When we talked to Vanessa Sivage, she worked at Texas Children's
0.99
00:27:53.940
in Houston, where it is also illegal to allow these kinds of things for kids. But if a doctor
00:28:00.540
is willing to say that it's actually for another reason, like precocious puberty, then unfortunately
00:28:05.840
they can get around that. It's really evil. And obviously, like the whole thing is here is that
00:28:11.640
this is all based on a lie. It's based on a lie that you can switch genders. You can't. And it is bad
0.98
00:28:19.480
for you to try. Justice Sotomayor, another liberal justice, likened the irreparable harm experienced by
00:28:26.040
children from so-called gender treatments to the risk of any medical treatment, even aspirin.
00:28:31.680
So she said that a child not going through puberty is the same thing as a child taking an aspirin.
00:28:39.980
Cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners. So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits
1.00
00:28:47.160
versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for
00:28:56.120
I'm sorry, counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin.
00:29:04.900
There is always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's
00:29:13.780
My gosh. And what he said there is so important. Of course, she ignores it. Sotomayor is by far the
00:29:19.680
dumbest justice on the bench. That is just true. And so it shouldn't surprise us that she said
1.00
00:29:25.740
something that absolutely asinine, that it is unproven that these procedures help these kids
0.81
00:29:32.580
at all. And so you are giving medication to kids that only cause harm. They don't help.
0.70
00:29:42.080
We don't even have any evidence that this stops or lessens in any way suicidal ideation or feelings
00:29:49.560
of anxiety or depression. Again, go and listen to Jamie read yesterday. She realized that these
00:29:57.000
medications, these procedures were not helping these kids. They were still anxious. They were
00:30:02.080
still depressed. They were still suicidal. They still never felt like themselves. Comparing these girls
00:30:10.120
who get double mastectomies to taking an aspirin is so wicked. Like I am haunted by the echoes of some
00:30:19.860
of the stories that Jamie read told me yesterday. The story of the young woman who as a teenager,
00:30:25.780
she had her first sexual encounter. She had been on testosterone for a number of years. And because
00:30:31.360
of that, her genitalia had atrophied completely. And so when she had sex for the first time,
0.98
00:30:37.420
she just started bleeding out, bleeding profusely. The young woman, this might just be like one of the
00:30:46.820
most heartbreaking. The young woman who by this gender clinic where she worked was referred for
00:30:53.500
a double mastectomy. She got her healthy breast chopped off because she believed that she was the
1.00
00:31:00.240
opposite sex. After that surgery, she wouldn't stop calling the clinic, asking them to put her
0.98
00:31:07.340
breasts back on. Daisy Strongin has sat on this white couch. She has told her story of detransition.
00:31:18.740
And she had a baby shortly after she sat down for an interview here, her second child,
00:31:26.320
beautiful baby girl. And she posted on X, I think about this all the time,
00:31:30.440
of the pain and the sadness that she felt holding her baby girl, feeding her a bottle of formula,
00:31:40.540
knowing that she could never even attempt to breastfeed her because of what was taken from her.
00:31:48.240
When she was so young, she was dealing with so many other things. She wasn't really the opposite sex,
0.96
00:31:54.080
but she got her breasts chopped off thinking that it would help. Laura Perry Smalt, same story.
1.00
00:32:00.000
She got her breasts chopped off when she was an adult. She was a young adult and she looked in
0.97
00:32:05.080
the mirror, realized she would never be a man. She couldn't change. She couldn't change that after
00:32:10.920
it happened. We also had Soren, another young woman who sat on this couch, who is now detransitioned,
0.92
00:32:18.980
who got her healthy breasts cut off when she was very young. I believe that she was only 21.
00:32:24.220
So she started the transition process as a minor and she had catastrophic injuries and she was
00:32:32.800
completely ignored by the clinic that referred her for her double mastectomy. These women will never
1.00
00:32:41.540
be the same. There are young men and young women who are rendered permanently sterile because of puberty
0.72
00:32:49.680
blockers and cross-sex hormones that were given to them as children, as teens. Remember also what Jamie
00:32:56.980
said yesterday, that puberty is necessary not only for the body, but also for the mind. That the part of the
00:33:04.940
brain that assess consequences of your actions, the parts of the brain that process trauma, that regulate
00:33:16.840
your emotions, those all grow and mature exponentially when you go through puberty. If you pause puberty,
00:33:26.940
those parts of your brain do not mature as they should. And so we've got these adolescents that are trapped
00:33:33.320
in not only children's bodies because of puberty blockers, but also children's minds. And again,
00:33:39.960
I want to ask you to think about what kind of adult likes the idea of thousands of children being trapped
00:33:49.300
in prepubescent bodies with prepubescent brains. Like what kind of fantasy do you think that fulfills?
00:33:59.520
That's what we're talking about here, Justice Sotomayor. But she goes on to say something
00:34:06.160
just as idiotic. She said, oh, having unwanted breasts if you're a girl is the same thing as just
1.00
00:34:12.800
having unwanted hair. You know, you get a haircut, you get your eyebrows waxed, you get a double
00:34:19.840
mastectomy, all the same thing, right? Here's thought three.
00:34:22.700
If the medical condition is unwanted hair by a nine-year-old boy who can receive estrogen for that
00:34:34.460
because at nine years old, if he has hair, he gets laughed at and picked on and his puberty is
00:34:43.140
coming in too early. But a girl who has unwanted hair says, or has unwanted breasts or a boy at that
0.97
00:34:57.180
age can get that drug, but the other can't. That's the sex-based difference.
00:35:02.420
No, it's not. It's the medical purpose difference. It is what is the purpose of the medications being
00:35:10.640
taken, you dolt. Okay, we've got to stop and do our next ad. And if any of you think that's mean,
0.99
00:35:19.780
just think about the wickedness that we're talking about. That is like as nice and respectful as I
00:35:25.140
could possibly be when you think about the butchering that she is advocating for. I think
00:35:29.540
Jesus would have much harsher words for justice, Sotomayor. Let me pause and tell you about
00:35:34.240
Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:35:38.740
I love partnering with companies that are willing to unapologetically stand for the values that you

00:36:16.140
So it is looking like the decision will go our way because the conservative justices do have the
00:36:23.740
majority. I mean, you do have some rogue conservative justices for sure. You never have
00:36:28.500
rogue liberal justices. They're ideological and they're activists. And so they're always just
00:36:33.500
going to go the way of the Democrat Party. They don't even believe that the Constitution is a
00:36:39.280
worthy standard. And so it's very malleable to them. And so they're extremely predictable.
00:36:45.360
The conservative justices, because they're acting on principle and adherence to the Constitution,
00:36:50.260
they are less predictable. And yet on this one, it does seem like they will rule in favor of the
00:36:56.940
state of Tennessee. Justice Samuel Alito pressed the U.S. Solicitor General on her previous claim
00:37:03.120
that there was overwhelming evidence that hormones and puberty blockers directly and substantially
00:37:07.120
improve the physical, psychological well-being of transgender adolescents with gender dysphoria.
00:37:14.200
He also asked twice the ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio, who offered the second oral argument, and we'll get
00:37:22.640
to Chase in just a second, against the Tennessee law, whether a transgender identity is quote-unquote
00:37:28.740
immutable and unable to be changed. Here is Justice Alito in SOT 7.
00:37:34.040
Are there individuals who are born male, assigned male at birth, who at one point
00:37:43.500
identify as female, but then later come to identify as male, and likewise for individuals who are
00:37:52.460
assigned female at birth, at some point identify as male, I'm sorry, identify as male, but later come
00:38:02.300
to identify as female? Are there not such people? There are such people. I agree with that, Justice.
00:38:07.220
So it's not an immutable characteristic, is it? Right. So caught,
00:38:13.500
Chase, there. And you might think that that is the voice of a woman, and that is because it is,
0.99
00:38:19.200
but this is a woman, Chase Strangio, who identifies as a man and so calls herself transgender. And we
00:38:27.500
will get to a little more about her in a second because it is significant. So Alito is making the
00:38:35.400
point, okay, you said it's immutable. It's clearly not immutable. It was significant because a
00:38:39.780
characteristic being immutable is part of the determination as to whether protected class
00:38:44.600
should be recognized. And so obviously it's not immutable because the whole transgender belief
00:38:52.640
system is that your gender is something that is declared, and you can declare something one day and
00:38:59.260
declare something different the next day. If something is immutable, it doesn't change by declaration.
00:39:04.160
The truth is, is that so-called gender-affirming care is not really care for these, what I say,
00:39:12.140
or gender-confused or gender-deceived young people. There's something called the Cass Review. It refers
00:39:17.320
to Dr. Hilary Cass's report on so-called gender identity services for minors with the National
00:39:22.760
Health Service in England. Dr. Cass was appointed to chair the Independent Review of Gender Identity
00:39:27.760
Services after an accomplished career in children's health in England. It was an independent review.
00:39:32.980
It was commissioned by the NHS. And what it found in a series of systematic reviews that accompanied
00:39:40.320
the report, they wrote that puberty blockers show no conclusions or there are no conclusions that can
00:39:48.560
be drawn about the effect of puberty blockers on gender-related outcomes, psychological and psychosocial
00:39:56.100
health, cognitive development, or fertility. And so they say we actually can't tell very well
00:40:03.620
one way or the other. They also said on suicide, tragically deaths by suicide in trans people of
00:40:10.800
all ages continue to be above the national average. There is no evidence that gender-affirmative
00:40:16.320
treatments reduce this. Such evidence as is available suggests that these deaths are related to a range of
00:40:22.300
other complex psychosocial factors and to mental illness. This led the NHS to stop prescribing puberty
00:40:31.720
blockers and the UK government to impose an emergency ban on such prescriptions in England, Wales, and
00:40:40.080
Scotland. Dr. Stephen Levine said that gender dysphoria is a psychiatric, not a medical condition.
00:40:49.320
He is a distinguished life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He is an expert in the field of
00:40:55.720
gender and sexuality. He says this is a mental condition that must be helped mentally. It is not something
00:41:03.220
that is going to be resolved or rectified by changing your body. And of course, that is the humane option. If
00:41:09.780
someone believes that they are in the wrong body, you try to convince their mind to reconcile with external
00:41:16.500
reality. You don't change external reality and biology to try to satiate the mind. If you believe
00:41:22.780
that you're born in the wrong body, that is the definition of being mentally ill. You see something
0.88
00:41:28.160
that is not true. And because of that, just like a schizophrenic or people with other kinds of mental health
00:41:35.940
conditions, you are not going to be healed by trying and failing to change reality, to match your mentally
0.80
00:41:45.900
ill view of the world. That's not me being mean. That's trying to be as clear as possible. A 2013
0.92
00:41:52.780
estimate placed the incidence of gender dysphoria in adults at 0.002 to 0.014%. More recent surveys
00:42:01.620
actually indicate that between 2 to 9% of high school students self-identify as transgender or gender
00:42:09.540
non-conforming. That is because it is rapid onset gender dysphoria. As Dr. Lisa Littman has found and
00:42:20.140
as I write about in my book, Toxic Empathy, it is a social contagion in girls and for boys and for men.
00:42:28.960
As we write about in detail here, if you look at where this idea of transgenderism comes from,
0.95
00:42:36.420
it comes from sexual perverts, from Alfred Kinsey, from John Money, and many others who were pedophiles,
0.98
00:42:46.300
who always looked for ways to justify pedophilia and to sexually experiment upon children. And some
0.99
00:42:51.840
of that had to do with trying to transition them to the opposite gender. And so there is a deeply sexual
0.95
00:43:01.540
and perverse aspect of gender ideology. Am I saying that every person who identifies as the opposite
0.98
00:43:07.000
sex is a pervert or is a predator? I'm not saying that, but I am saying that there is a reason why
1.00
00:43:14.480
they seem to be interwoven. There is a reason why you see men who pretend to be women wearing fishnet
0.93
00:43:22.540
tights and fake boobs going to read books to kids. Okay. It's not a coincidence. These people don't have
0.94
00:43:29.460
gender dysphoria. They have been addicted to a very dark form of pornography and they are living out
1.00
00:43:35.580
a sexual fetish. That is what is behind men suddenly identifying as the opposite sex. It is not gender
0.88
00:43:41.540
dysphoria. And for young women, it's a social contagion, but it is also in response to sexual
00:43:47.260
trauma and their lives most of the time. I can't speak to every single case and every single reason,
00:43:52.700
but that is what is happening in, um, in many, many, I would say the vast majority of cases. Now this trans
1.00
00:44:00.880
identifying person, Chase Strangio, who is defending, he's an ACLU or she is an ACLU attorney and is the
00:44:11.420
first openly transgender lawyer that is arguing in front of the Supreme Court. Um, she is the one who argued that
0.54
00:44:21.580
transness is immutable to Samuel Alito and then he challenged her successfully on that. I'm saying her
1.00
00:44:27.760
because she is a woman. She looks like a man, uh, a boy with a beard. And actually it is this juxtaposition
00:44:37.000
of her appearance and her voice that is so disconcerting and so perfectly embodies the disorder
00:44:45.360
and the tragedy and the lie of transgenderism. Here she is with Jake Tapper on CNN Sop 5.
0.90
00:44:53.200
These are young people who may have known since they were two years old, exactly who they are,
00:44:57.320
who suffered for six, seven years before they had any relief. And what's happening here,
00:45:01.440
it's not the kids who are consenting to this treatment. It's the parents who are consenting
00:45:05.180
to the treatment. And as a parent, I would say we, when our children are suffering, we are suffering.
00:45:10.580
And these are parents who love their children, who are listening to the advice of their doctors,
00:45:14.300
of the mainstream medical community and doing what's right for the, for their kids. And the
00:45:17.980
state of Tennessee has displaced their judgment. That is, I don't care who you are, how far left
00:45:23.360
you are. You watch that person and you say, my mind does not compute. It's not supposed to compute.
00:45:29.940
Like if you showed that video to, I don't know, a six-year-old, they would be so confused. It is cruel
00:45:35.900
to offer our kids confusion. By the way, your responsibility as an adult is to offer your
00:45:40.700
children clarity and truth. If your child says, mommy, there's a monster in the corner of my room,
00:45:46.460
the loving thing to do is not to say, you're right, go back to bed. The loving thing to do is to go in
00:45:51.120
the room, turn the light on and say, baby, that's not, that's not a monster. That's your, you're fine.
00:45:57.440
That's just a, that's just a pile of clothes. But these people believe that you're supposed to affirm
00:46:03.120
and to validate the monsters in these children's lives because their feelings and their thoughts
00:46:09.180
have some kind of authority. That is wicked. And this person has a very strange background.
00:46:16.600
The last name, Strangio. I don't know her entire story. I do think we should pray for her.
00:46:21.320
Absolutely. There's a lot of brokenness and confusion here, clearly. But she tweeted this back
00:46:27.100
when it was Twitter in March of 2020. She said, I am willing to spend an hour a day during the week,
00:46:32.600
video chatting with trans youth who are feeling isolated right now. DM me and we can coordinate
00:46:40.380
through IG chat or another platform. Really? So you are purposely like throwing out a net for young,
00:46:52.940
vulnerable, mentally ill children who are isolated from their parents and you are inviting them to talk
00:47:01.680
to you privately online. Huh? I don't know. I think there are some red flags there.
00:47:11.200
She posts a lot of picture with kids who apparently are so-called trans kids, which I think is very
00:47:20.380
strange. She also in 2020 called for the banning of Abigail Schreier's book, Irreversible Damage.
0.61
00:47:28.660
She said, stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on. Of
00:47:38.860
course, because when you are so insecure and so unsure about your own beliefs, you can't even decide
00:47:46.400
like what immutable means before the Supreme Court. Of course, you are going to try to stop the truth
00:47:53.680
from getting out and you can't sufficiently argue your case clearly or defend your beliefs. And so
00:48:02.540
you are going to do everything you can just to silence opposition. Yeah, that's what fascists do.
00:48:08.580
That's what communists do. It's what the ACLU is now. So thankfully, I do think that the Supreme Court
00:48:15.660
has some sense, and I think that it will go in the way that we think it should, those of us who are on
00:48:25.240
the side of truth. Not just conservatives, because this really is an issue across the board that animates
00:48:31.220
people. It's just the bridge too far. It's the bridge too far. And so please, Lord, give the justices
00:48:38.180
the wisdom and courage here. This decision won't go as far as it should. They're not deciding whether
00:48:44.260
a parent has a fundamental right to protect their children from these things, because in some states,
00:48:50.040
you don't even need the consent of parents. And guess which states those are? The blue states,
00:48:56.100
because progressive ideology is completely in contradiction to the Christian worldview.
00:49:02.320
Um, but it will hopefully protect states' rights to regulate and restrict and ban this kind of
00:49:12.780
medication and so-called care for kids who are deceived about their gender. All right, let me pause
00:49:18.520
and tell you about our next sponsor. That's Jace Medical. There's a lot going on. We don't know what
00:49:23.140
the future holds. And it is always scary to think about what could happen with the supply chain,
00:49:29.040
with the economy, having another COVID. Hopefully that never happens, but it's better to be safe
00:49:34.160
than sorry, especially when it comes to your medical care, to the prescriptions that you and your family
00:49:39.240
rely on, or antibiotics that could save your life if you've got an infection. If for some reason
00:49:44.560
there is a shortage of these medications, or maybe you can't get to the pharmacy or you can't get to
00:49:50.120
your doctor and you need them right away, you want to be able to have an emergency kit with these
00:49:54.540
antibiotics with things like Tamiflu, EpiPen, Ivermectin, also a year-long supply of the
00:50:00.480
prescriptions that you and your family rely on. And that's why Jace Case exists. Jace just launched
00:50:05.560
an all-new compounded version of Ivermectin for only $30 as an add-on to their Jace Case. Go to

00:50:18.720
All right, I've been wanting to talk about this new movie that's out called Dear Santa. It's starring
00:50:31.580
Jack Black. Now Jack Black has been very outspoken, especially in the last couple years, about his
00:50:39.220
progressive policies supporting Kamala Harris. I think it was at one of his recent concerts where
00:50:45.060
the other guy that's in his group talked about assassinating Donald Trump or wanting Donald
0.97
00:50:52.700
Trump to be killed. And so it shouldn't surprise us that he is now starring as Satan in this movie
0.67
00:50:59.800
called Dear Santa. It is a Paramount Plus movie that claims to be a Christmas comedy, but it ultimately
00:51:07.520
portrays Satan attempting to get a dyslexic sixth grader to sell his soul for a few
00:51:14.540
granted wishes. What is it about children and demonic ideologies and witchcraft that so many
00:51:29.260
progressives and Hollywood seem to love? I know there is a dark history there. Children are always the
00:51:40.060
unconsenting subjects of progressive social experiments. Satan has always had it out for
00:51:45.620
children. He loves to prey upon children. That's why there is such a sweet and ironic and beautiful
00:51:54.340
twist to Jesus coming to earth as a baby and being the one to crush Satan's head, being the exact opposite
00:52:05.420
of what you would think a victorious king would be. And yet, even as an infant, as a newborn,
00:52:14.980
carrying all the power to defeat the prince of the power of the air. And, but that struggle is still
00:52:22.380
ongoing now. And we see that manifested in a variety of ways, unfortunately, also through our
00:52:28.920
entertainment. Here's top six. Every Christmas, something magical happens. Dear Santa. When a kid
00:52:36.740
sends a letter to Santa. But Liam. To Santa. Is a crappy speller. This looks like fun.
00:52:49.580
Oh, that's putrid. Thank you. What do you want? You summoned me. Not what I expected. What'd you
00:53:01.620
expect? In the movies, the reindeer usually have the antlers, not you. Kid, are you high?
00:53:08.400
Oh, I just find this so disgusting and awful that it would depict as innocent communicating
0.99
00:53:16.600
with Satan. Like, do you understand what Satan does? What he tempts people to do? All of the
00:53:23.340
darkest evil that you've seen in the world? Like, he wants that. Hitler? Like, big fan of Hitler.
0.83
00:53:33.020
Satan is. All of the disgusting, depraved, violent, brutal stuff you've seen throughout history. Satan is
0.99
00:53:44.320
behind that. And like, we're pretending like he's just this guy that a child with special needs should
00:53:53.640
be communicating with. And that can actually grant us the things that we want. So he addressed this
00:54:03.520
Christmas letter to Satan instead of Santa on accident. Satan shows up in Liam's room to find out
00:54:09.320
why he has sent the letter. Liam mistakes Satan for the actual Santa Claus. He offers, Santa uses,
00:54:18.940
or Satan uses Liam three wishes, whatever his heart desires. And then Liam uses all three wishes.
00:54:26.340
And then, or if he uses all three wishes, Satan will take Liam's soul to spend the rest of eternity
00:54:32.640
in hell. This is so dark. And it's presented as a comedy. If Liam doesn't use all three wishes,
00:54:39.860
the transfer never takes place. Further, the movie implies that all people avoid hell,
00:54:44.300
so long as they never trade away their soul. Liam says in the movie, just because Satan's come into my
00:54:52.400
life doesn't mean I worship him now. Meeting Satan may have been the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:54:58.360
Uh, eventually Satan realizes that he actually likes doing some good deeds and he chooses to
00:55:04.200
grant the wish that Liam had originally written in his letter to, to Santa. Now I'm having a hard time
00:55:09.920
reading these two words, uh, to bring his brother who had died in a tragic accident back to life.
00:55:16.660
Uh, when Liam heads into his home's living room, he finds that Satan has brought his brother back from
00:55:21.540
the dead and he's erased the memories from his parents of Spencer, his brother ever dying. Here's
00:55:28.420
what plugged in says. And if you ever want to know, should my kids see a movie? I mean, hopefully you
00:55:33.780
don't have a question about this one, but other movies plugged in as a great resource. So here's
00:55:38.300
what they say. Satan's occasional goodwill nature and the problematic scope of his supernatural powers,
00:55:43.480
bringing the dead back to life, which by the way, Satan cannot do according to dear. Um,
00:55:48.260
so this is, that's something that they see as problematic because of course it's in contradiction
00:55:53.140
to the biblical worldview. They say, according to dear Santa, Satan's a bad dude who does ultimately
00:55:58.320
want to steal a child's soul, but he's apparently also got principles and just may go out of his way
00:56:03.680
to fix the issues and your, and your family's lives. This is a horrible, horrifying message that
00:56:12.280
you should not flirt with at all. You should not even allow your teenagers to watch something like
00:56:17.140
this. It would get them excited about trying to communicate with Satan, doing some kind of
00:56:22.740
witchcraft, some kind of messaging so that Satan, who's kind of just a little bit like the Grinch,
00:56:29.140
but ultimately is a softy deep down, um, to try to communicate with him. So he will do what they
00:56:36.440
want. I cannot think of a worse message to convey to anyone in particular children. It also, to me,
00:56:46.260
just shows the confusion of Santa in general. I am not saying that telling your kids that Santa
00:56:51.960
is real is satanic. I personally, and I know this is a hot take, but I've been saying it for years now.
00:56:57.620
I personally think that telling kids that Santa is real is unwise. It distracts from the real meaning
00:57:03.820
of Christmas, which is Jesus. Of course, it's really hard to be like, Oh, Santa, Santa, Santa. But
00:57:09.700
remember the reason for the season. I mean, you're asking your five-year-old to do the impossible
00:57:13.600
there. Most adults can't even do those things. And also you are basically presenting this legalistic,
00:57:21.180
non-real version of God that he sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He
00:57:25.520
knows if you've been bad or good. So be good because he's watching. He gives you gifts or he gives you
00:57:32.240
bad things if you do bad. And so you've got this omniscient, omnipresent, supernaturally powerful
00:57:40.340
guy who is assessing your rights and wrongs and giving you things based on that. Like that is
00:57:46.940
such a dark and base version of the true gospel and the true God who really does see you when you're
00:57:57.240
sleeping, who knows when you're awake. He sees you as you rise. He sees you as he lies down. There is
00:58:03.300
nowhere that you can go to escape his presence. And he really does exist. And he really has given
00:58:12.260
you a good gift, not based on whether you've done something good or done something bad, but by his
00:58:19.580
grace. And that good gift is Jesus Christ himself that came in the form of a baby in a manger. Like that
00:58:26.900
is the gift and the real story of Christmas. And so we should be doing everything we can to get our
00:58:34.560
kids to focus on that, to tell our kids that story, that when they want something, when they fear
00:58:41.060
something, when they're worried about something, when they hope for something, to pray to the God who
00:58:46.800
through Christ actually hears them, loves them, knows them, wants what is best for them. Satan hates
00:58:54.280
your children. Okay. Let's just remember that, that this might be a quote unquote funny movie,
0.95
00:58:59.880
but Satan is real and he hates your children. And it just reminded me of an excerpt that I wrote
00:59:06.620
in Toxic Empathy. And we'll, we'll end with this. Let me see if I can find it without having to,
00:59:15.160
without having to stop recording, um, the conclusion, the conclusion of my book emphasizes
00:59:26.260
this point. This is on page 160. Satan seems to have it out for children. They're always the most
00:59:32.220
vulnerable prey to Satan schemes, mentally and physically less developed than adults. Children
00:59:36.880
don't have the tools to defend themselves against the more powerful. They're easily moldable for better
00:59:41.740
him for worse. Parents are to offer spiritual, mental, and physical protection to their children
00:59:46.120
while Satan and his cohorts will always seek their spiritual, mental, and physical destruction.
00:59:52.640
This idea is captured in much of the, of much, in much of dystopian literature and brave new world.
00:59:58.000
Babies are grown in pods, have no natural family, are desensitized to sex at an early age and become
01:00:03.280
brainwashed ambassadors of the system. In 1984, children become enemies of their parents and defensive
01:00:09.420
big brother. Look throughout history and the cultures most controlled by Satan have been
01:00:13.640
marked by the exploitation of children, forcing children into slavery and prostitution, offering
01:00:18.960
them as sacrifices to gods or using them to advance a political agenda. From ancient Carthage to the
01:00:25.320
Aztecs to pre-colonial West Africa, babies and children were sacrificed to satisfy the demands of pagan
0.92
01:00:31.240
deities. In ancient Rome, children were often used as sexual objects for powerful men.
01:00:36.020
Throughout the 20th century, children became foot soldiers of dictatorial regimes like Hitler's
01:00:41.240
Germany and Pol Pot's Cambodia. Today, we're not so different from our pagan predecessors.
0.99
01:00:46.320
It's just that our bloodthirst has been given politically correct names such as abortion and
01:00:50.920
gender-affirming care. We are still very much in the barbaric business of butchering children's
1.00
01:00:55.940
bodies and exploiting them as political objects. One could even argue it's still a form of sacrifice
01:01:00.700
to a kind of god. Some may say it's the gods of progressivism or of social justice or the god of
01:01:06.180
empathy. I like to say that these are sacrifices made to the god of self who is relentless and
01:01:12.540
merciless in his demands for the satisfaction of his desires. And so, it is Christian's obligation,
1.00
01:01:23.220
just as it has always been since the inception of the church, to protect these children. Whether it's in
01:01:29.200
some seemingly trivial form, like a movie that is glorifying, communicating with Satan, or whether
01:01:36.400
it is in the demonic form of transing children and making them believe that they are born in the
1.00
01:01:43.540
wrong bodies. All right, before we get out of here, I just got one more quick ad, and that is

All right, we had planned to get into some more of the Daystar controversy today because there were
01:02:32.980
quite a few details that we just didn't get to cover on Monday when that originally came out. And
01:02:39.140
there's a lot that I just didn't, I wasn't able to include then, and a lot that has actually come out
01:02:44.800
since Monday. And so we are going to talk about that more next week. I didn't want to leave you
01:02:51.240
in a lurch there. And so make sure that you tune in next week. We will see you guys then.
