00:01:42.000 We're going to talk about a specific initiative that is being launched in California and then also one of the most important issues in the country regarding our children, which is this trans issue.
00:01:52.000 Joining us now is Erin Friday.
00:01:54.000 Erin, welcome to the program.
00:01:55.000 Thank you so much.
00:01:56.000 You are an attorney and you are fighting against this kind of transification of the country.
00:02:02.000 You also co-lead our duty and you're doing your best to get this ballot initiative up and going in California.
00:02:09.000 That's right.
00:02:10.000 We have to start tackling the blue states.
00:02:13.000 I agree.
00:02:14.000 So tell us your story.
00:02:15.000 How did you get into this?
00:02:17.000 Well, my daughter came out as a transgender boy when she was just about to start ninth grade.
00:02:24.000 This was over COVID.
00:02:26.000 And that was an eye-opening experience to me because quite frankly, I was a good little liberal and just read the New York Times and NPR.
00:02:35.000 And I didn't even know that this transgender movement was underfoot.
00:02:40.000 You know, I didn't see it at our schools except for my daughter's comprehensive sex ed course.
00:02:48.000 And that was in seventh grade.
00:02:50.000 And that was the first kind of opening as to what is being taught to our kids at our schools.
00:02:56.000 And I volunteered at the school.
00:02:57.000 I mean, I like lived at the school.
00:02:59.000 So I was just oblivious.
00:03:02.000 So without getting too deep into the details, you learned of this how through the school or did she come to you and say, hey, I'm a boy now.
00:03:14.000 Well, she did come to me and say, I'm a boy.
00:03:16.000 And I kind of brushed it off.
00:03:18.000 I said, that's silly.
00:03:19.000 Like not thinking much of this.
00:03:19.000 Okay.
00:03:21.000 I'm like, you're not a boy.
00:03:24.000 And so then from there, then it got serious because I heard through her iPad, her public school was calling her a male name and using male pronouns.
00:03:34.000 And that was all on her assignments.
00:03:36.000 And the interesting thing is that my daughter had never stepped foot into that school.
00:03:41.000 She was starting as a freshman.
00:03:43.000 And so they went ahead and changed her name pronouns, didn't so much as call me.
00:03:46.000 They never notified you.
00:03:48.000 Oh, no.
00:03:49.000 And when I called them and read them the Riot Act, they told me that they needed to be the safe space for my child.
00:03:58.000 And I, of course, asked them what safe meant.
00:04:02.000 And they couldn't define it.
00:04:04.000 But obviously I was unsafe because I had CPS and the police at my door a few days later.
00:04:10.000 So the school called the Child Protective Services.
00:04:13.000 That's correct.
00:04:15.000 Because you were upset at the school that they didn't call you that your daughter is using different names.
00:04:23.000 Correct.
00:04:24.000 Obviously, I was committing some kind of child abuse on my child by not accepting that she is now a boy and using a male name.
00:04:32.000 Now, they did it under the guise of my daughter was looking up how many monster drinks it takes to kill, you know, a 110-pound girl or person.
00:04:43.000 And so that was their, you know, way to weave in.
00:04:46.000 But I know it's because, you know, I really laid into them when they said that they were going to continue to call my daughter a male name and male pronouns.
00:04:57.000 And they knew nothing of my child.
00:04:59.000 They had never seen her.
00:05:01.000 They couldn't answer one question when I asked them how tall she is.
00:05:06.000 Is she fat, skinny?
00:05:07.000 What color hair does she have?
00:05:09.000 But they changed her name.
00:05:11.000 And did they view it like you as the parent or just there?
00:05:15.000 Whose child is it?
00:05:16.000 I guess is the question.
00:05:18.000 Obviously, it's their child.
00:05:20.000 That's how they looked at it is that I'm the ogre, I'm the bigot.
00:05:23.000 And that was, you know, eye-opening to me.
00:05:26.000 And I immediately pulled her from that public school.
00:05:29.000 Yes.
00:05:30.000 And, you know, the interesting thing is they never called to check in on my child to see how she's doing.
00:05:36.000 They didn't care.
00:05:38.000 That's such an important point.
00:05:40.000 So they take full privilege over the child, yet no responsibility once the kid leaves.
00:05:46.000 It's not a problem anymore.
00:05:47.000 But I thought it was your child.
00:05:49.000 Yeah.
00:05:50.000 I mean, it's so life-saving, right?
00:05:52.000 To affirm a child and then they just dropped her.
00:05:56.000 I mean, this is the interesting thing.
00:05:58.000 The schools are trying to stand in the shoes of parents, yet they're not there when the child is sick.
00:06:03.000 They're not there on weekends, vacations.
00:06:06.000 Or answering the tough questions.
00:06:09.000 So then how did that prompt you into this whole transgender craz?
00:06:15.000 Well, it was a long process because it took about a year and a half to get my daughter back to being comfortable in her female body.
00:06:22.000 And it was a grueling year and a half.
00:06:24.000 I mean, extremely painful.
00:06:26.000 And I never wanted another parent to go through what we went through.
00:06:30.000 And so once you got through that process, you're now, you're an attorney.
00:06:34.000 You're now trying to fight the entire trans machine.
00:06:38.000 That's right.
00:06:39.000 And nobody was really doing it in California.
00:06:41.000 And so I jumped in and I wrote a bunch of bills.
00:06:46.000 I really didn't know what I was doing.
00:06:47.000 And that's a good thing because no one could tell me I couldn't do what I was doing.
00:06:53.000 And so then we moved forward with some bills and we couldn't even get a hearing for a parent notification bill, a hearing.
00:07:02.000 We couldn't get a hearing just to involve parents when a child is gender questioning.
00:07:06.000 So we went bigger.
00:07:08.000 So Erin, you got into this fight because so you got your daughter to a place where she was no longer questioning her identity.
00:07:17.000 And I bet during that process, you learned all that you could about this.
00:07:21.000 Absolutely.
00:07:21.000 Because you seem to be a reader and a researcher.
00:07:24.000 I quit my law job and all I did was read.
00:07:27.000 Wow.
00:07:28.000 Tell us about that.
00:07:29.000 What did you read?
00:07:30.000 Because this must have been just completely foreign and alien to you.
00:07:36.000 Well, I started with Abigail Schreier's book, Irreversible Damage, which luckily came out right when my daughter expressed her.
00:07:42.000 It's an excellent book.
00:07:43.000 Yeah, it's great.
00:07:44.000 And then I joined every group.
00:07:46.000 I went actually from the feminist groups.
00:07:48.000 I joined Republican groups.
00:07:50.000 I know, I went everywhere because I wanted to know like who is fighting this because no one was fighting it really in California.
00:07:58.000 We were alone.
00:07:59.000 The parents are terribly alone on this because we're looked at as bigots and hateful.
00:08:05.000 The doctors are against us.
00:08:06.000 The teachers are against us.
00:08:08.000 The government is against us.
00:08:09.000 And nobody was doing anything.
00:08:11.000 And I'm waiting for the Calvary to come in.
00:08:13.000 And that's us, the parents.
00:08:15.000 We are the Calvary.
00:08:16.000 Yes.
00:08:18.000 And that's the role that I decided I had to take as much as I don't like this position and I don't want to be doing this.
00:08:25.000 This is what we have to do.
00:08:26.000 So you went on a researching spree and you were just a stranger to this.
00:08:32.000 What did you start to learn that all of a sudden just was shocking, eye-opening?
00:08:37.000 Because you saw it in the micro with your daughter and then you were researching the macro.
00:08:42.000 Connect those dots for us.
00:08:43.000 Yeah.
00:08:44.000 So I came out of the gate with not my kid.
00:08:47.000 That was the initial, maybe somebody else's child, but not my kid.
00:08:51.000 And then all I did was look at a graph that shows the 5,000% uptick of adolescents saying that they're trans.
00:09:00.000 Nothing.
00:09:01.000 In the last five years or something, right?
00:09:03.000 Nothing grows organically like that.
00:09:05.000 I mean, it was just an automatic bells going off.
00:09:07.000 And then I started to read the research of the younger children.
00:09:10.000 So Ken Zucker, who's a Canadian sexologist, and none of this was making sense.
00:09:17.000 There are no such thing as trans people.
00:09:20.000 That's correct.
00:09:22.000 Yes.
00:09:23.000 Tell me what you mean by that.
00:09:24.000 Well, no one is born in the wrong body.
00:09:26.000 That's right.
00:09:26.000 It's not possible.
00:09:27.000 You cannot change sex.
00:09:29.000 These are people who have excruciating pain.
00:09:31.000 And I have empathy.
00:09:33.000 Even for the adults who attack us, I have empathy for them because they look in the mirror and they hate what they see.
00:09:40.000 They don't accept their natural bodies.
00:09:42.000 And that is sad.
00:09:44.000 But it's a fixable mental condition, though.
00:09:46.000 It absolutely is.
00:09:48.000 The number of...
00:09:49.000 Treatable, I should say.
00:09:50.000 That's a better word.
00:09:51.000 Treatable.
00:09:52.000 And the number of kids that desist, that means they come back to being comfortable in their natural bodies.
00:09:59.000 No one ever talks about them, but there's thousands.
00:10:01.000 Of course there are because they grow up and they learn to accept themselves and love themselves in their natural state.
00:10:08.000 Well, your daughter is an example of that, I would imagine.
00:10:11.000 And again, I don't want to make it too personal, but your daughter was able to overcome whatever social contagion that she was caught up in.
00:10:19.000 Absolutely.
00:10:20.000 And that alone is a piece of evidence.
00:10:24.000 Absent you being the awesome mom you were.
00:10:28.000 Let's just, your daughter very well might have been put into the trans assembly line.
00:10:34.000 Oh, they tried to put her in the assembly line as much as they could.
00:10:37.000 What is the assembly line?
00:10:39.000 So the assembly line is puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, cutting off then healthy body parts.
00:10:48.000 And they try their darndest.
00:10:49.000 I mean, they teach these kids to run away from their loving parents.
00:10:54.000 They teach them to emancipate.
00:10:56.000 Who is they?
00:10:57.000 Oh, well, you've got your school teacher, your school counselors who tell the kids how to run away.
00:11:03.000 We have now a law in California that allows a 12-year-old and older to leave their family home with no claim of abuse or self-harm.
00:11:13.000 Yep, it's called Assembly Bill 665.
00:11:16.000 Our dear friend Scott Weiner, Senator Scott Weiner, was one of the authors on that.
00:11:20.000 He's a real dark person.
00:11:22.000 He's just absolute evil.
00:11:24.000 No, I agree with that.
00:11:26.000 And we have that bill.
00:11:28.000 And so these kids at the age of 12 can leave their family's home, no claim of abuse, and go into a residential facility.
00:11:36.000 And now in California, we're building them.
00:11:38.000 They're called unicorn homes.
00:11:40.000 We're building places for these.
00:11:42.000 It's state-sanctioned kidnapping.
00:11:44.000 That's where we are.
00:11:46.000 So, why would anyone raise kids in California at this point?
00:11:50.000 That's a really good question.
00:11:53.000 I mean, you can't do it in Washington State, Minnesota, New York.
00:11:58.000 Everything that we do in California gets passed on to the rest of the nation.
00:12:02.000 And that's why the ballot initiative, it's not just a California ballot initiative.
00:12:07.000 It's a nationwide ballot initiative.
00:12:13.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:12:14.000 As you know, Mike Lindell has a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life after he invented the world's best pillow.
00:12:20.000 He created the famous Giza Dream Sheets.

00:12:33.000 Mike and the MyPillow employees continue to be canceled by big box stores and attacked by the media.
00:12:39.000 They appreciate all of your great support during these times.

00:13:10.000 That is mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:13:16.000 Tell us the ballot initiative name and how people can help.
00:13:19.000 Okay, it is protectkidsca.com.
00:13:24.000 And anyone can donate in the United States.
00:13:27.000 And we need donations from everyone and anyone.
00:13:30.000 Anyone who lives in the state of California can go to the website, download the petition.
00:13:36.000 Sign it.
00:13:36.000 So say the website again.
00:13:38.000 And what is it you're trying to get on the ballot?
00:13:39.000 Sure.
00:13:40.000 So it's protectkidsca.com.
00:13:43.000 And what this ballot initiative will do, it will stop all gender interventions on minors.
00:13:50.000 No cross-sex hormones, no puberty blockers, no surgeries on children.
00:13:55.000 The second thing that it will do is get all males out of girls' sports, bathrooms, changing rooms, overnight accommodations.
00:14:04.000 It will also define the word female and male scientifically, biologically.
00:14:11.000 And the third thing that it will do is prevent schools from lying and deceiving parents when their children are gender questioning and will prevent the schools from pushing the transgender identity forward with the kids.
00:14:29.000 So they will not be allowed to give out binders or packers or change their name at school without involving the parents.
00:14:37.000 So it's a huge undertaking.
00:14:38.000 And based on the documents that you gave me, if it's put on the ballot, there actually is majority support in California for every one of these things.
00:14:47.000 There absolutely is support.
00:14:49.000 People think California is crazy.
00:14:51.000 And yes, our legislature and our lawmakers are, but the average citizen is against all of this.
00:14:58.000 We have polling that shows that 75% of Californians, regardless of whether they're Republicans, Independents, or Democrats, will vote to stop gender interventions on kids.
00:15:10.000 The other polling shows 68 and 64% for the other attributes of the ballot.
00:15:16.000 So the hardest part is to get it on the ballot, but once it's on there, it has a life of its own.
00:15:21.000 That's correct.
00:15:21.000 So let's dive, continue into there.
00:15:24.000 And everybody, Studio, could we put it on the bottom?
00:15:26.000 Because we have a lot of viewers too on live streaming California.
00:15:29.000 We have to get a grassroots movement here.
00:15:31.000 We got to get this on the ballot.
00:15:32.000 One of the most important things in the country.
00:15:34.000 This happens in red states too, and red municipalities and in red school districts.
00:15:40.000 So let's zero in on the assembly line.
00:15:43.000 Parents think that they're in touch with their kids, and they are a lot of times, but sometimes they'll get caught up on TikTok or they'll get some sort of a social phenomenon based on all of your involvement, all of your activism.
00:15:55.000 Walk us through kind of the typical story that you are here or that you encounter.
00:16:01.000 So, the typical story differs by sex because that's right.
00:16:06.000 It does.
00:16:06.000 Yeah, the young boys tend to be almost always either autistic or have some sort of thing.
00:16:11.000 Young ladies, a lot of it's puberty anxiety, but most of the minor transitions, quote unquote, which you can't transition, is female.
00:16:18.000 Is that correct?
00:16:19.000 It's about 75% female.
00:16:21.000 Yeah.
00:16:22.000 Why is that?
00:16:23.000 Because girls take on the social contagion.
00:16:26.000 We know this with cutting, with anorexia, with bulimia.
00:16:29.000 That's a great point.
00:16:30.000 All of the large social contagions always started with girls and then it migrates over to boys.
00:16:37.000 And so that's where we are now, where it's starting to migrate over to boys.
00:16:41.000 And girls are doing this for very particular reasons.
00:16:46.000 So there's a lot of DEI.
00:16:47.000 I know you talk about this.
00:16:49.000 And these girls are feeling shameful for being quote unquote the oppressor.
00:16:55.000 And so they want to jump into a marginalized community or they want to be the oppressed.
00:17:01.000 And so they will take on an LGBTQ identity so that they don't feel guilty.
00:17:07.000 So there's that aspect of it.
00:17:09.000 There's also a lot of these girls are exposed to really horrible pornography because, you know, porn is in their pocket and it's available everywhere.
00:17:19.000 And these girls are watching these images and they don't want to be that woman in that video.
00:17:25.000 They want to hop out and not be that person.
00:17:30.000 So there's that aspect of it.
00:17:31.000 And then the other girls that it goes after are the quirky, artsy, you know, not the most popular girls in class.
00:17:40.000 And it, you know, really.
00:17:41.000 They're sometimes on the spectrum.
00:17:44.000 There is a real, according to Dr. Miriam Grossman, there's a correlation.
00:17:48.000 There absolutely is.
00:17:49.000 There is no child who takes on a transgender identity that doesn't have another comorbid mental health issue.
00:17:55.000 Not a one.
00:17:56.000 Can you repeat that?
00:17:57.000 I've never heard anyone say that.
00:17:59.000 There is not one child who takes on a transgender identity that does not have an underlying mental health issue.
00:18:07.000 Not one.
00:18:08.000 They have OCD, autism, you know, anxiety.
00:18:13.000 Anxiety, anxiety, bipolar schizophrenia.
00:18:16.000 Exactly.
00:18:16.000 They all have something.
00:18:18.000 And when they go into that doctor's office and they say that they're trans, the doctors then ignore all those other mental health issues.
00:18:25.000 And we know this because we talk to the detransitioners and they all have a myriad of mental health issues.
00:18:32.000 Yeah.
00:18:33.000 Chloe Cole is a perfect example of that.
00:18:35.000 She said, I was on the spectrum and I was taken advantage of.
00:18:37.000 I don't know if you spent time with Chloe Cole.
00:18:39.000 Absolutely.
00:18:40.000 And she's an outspoken D-transitioner.
00:18:42.000 So they walk into.
00:18:43.000 So I want to, we will play that tape of Chloe Cole, but I want to really zero in on this because this is, by the way, the audience is just going crazy.
00:18:49.000 They're loving this.
00:18:51.000 Which is, so you say the doctors are against us.
00:18:55.000 Can you explain?
00:18:57.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:18:58.000 Every doctor told me to transition my child.
00:19:01.000 Every doctor?
00:19:02.000 Everyone.
00:19:03.000 How many?
00:19:03.000 Three, four, five?
00:19:04.000 I think I talked to around six.
00:19:07.000 That's extraordinary.
00:19:09.000 Yes.
00:19:09.000 And these are pediatric doctors or some were therapists, some were psychiatrists.
00:19:16.000 Our pediatrician who knew my daughter since she was two years old just changed her name in the records.
00:19:24.000 And I just learned like a few weeks ago that she put a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in my daughter's chart.
00:19:33.000 She never diagnosed my daughter.
00:19:34.000 She spent 15 minutes with her because I'll tell you one thing, parents, do not take your kids to a pediatrician or you stay in that room the entire time and don't fill out any of those questionnaires where they ask.
00:19:47.000 What will the pediatrician do?
00:19:48.000 The pediatrician will plant the seed in these children's head that you can change sex and that you could be a different gender.
00:19:55.000 There are sheets now where they fill it out.
00:19:57.000 What is your sexual orientation?
00:19:59.000 What is your gender identity?
00:20:00.000 Do not answer any of those questions.
00:20:03.000 That is none of their business.
00:20:04.000 But parents think pediatricians are there for their kids' health and wellness.
00:20:09.000 Sorry, I'm going to dish on them.
00:20:11.000 Oh, no, you're in the right place.
00:20:13.000 Yeah.
00:20:13.000 I mean, look, there are pediatricians out there who know what they're doing is wrong and they're staying silent and they are complicit and they are cowards.
00:20:22.000 I have no empathy for them.
00:20:23.000 I totally agree.
00:20:24.000 And then there are pediatricians who just look at you, they change the name of your child and say, go to the gender clinic.
00:20:30.000 They have no idea that once you take your child to the gender clinic, they are on the conveyor belt.
00:20:35.000 The assembly line.
00:20:36.000 Yeah.
00:20:37.000 And it is game.
00:20:39.000 So let me ask you, Erin, the pediatrician who knew your daughter since she was two, she spent 15 minutes with her on this topic.
00:20:46.000 Yes.
00:20:46.000 And there was a diagnosis administered in 15 minutes?
00:20:50.000 Correct.
00:20:51.000 Correct.
00:20:51.000 And I didn't even know about it because I'm not giving her chart because she was 13 at the time.
00:20:57.000 I don't have that a California thing or a national thing.
00:21:00.000 It's in many, many states.
00:21:01.000 That parents don't get kids' charts when they're 13?
00:21:04.000 It starts at 12.
00:21:06.000 I know you're a new father.
00:21:07.000 Beware of this.
00:21:09.000 Yeah, you don't have to.
00:21:10.000 That's a state-by-state law?
00:21:12.000 Correct.
00:21:13.000 You can't get access to it or your child has to give you permission.
00:21:17.000 Who came up with that insane idea?
00:21:20.000 Our legislators.
00:21:22.000 Because remember, parents are terrible.
00:21:25.000 I mean, the way our country is moving is that once a child is 12, parents lose all rights for their kids.
00:21:32.000 That's where we're moving.
00:21:34.000 So six doctors said your precious daughter should just go mutilate herself.
00:21:43.000 Yes.
00:21:43.000 And one oversimplified.
00:21:45.000 Yeah, no, you're right.
00:21:47.000 And one actually told me when I went through my daughter's history because my daughter was extremely girly.
00:21:53.000 Like, yes, which does not make her necessarily predisposed for this.
00:21:58.000 No, it doesn't at all.
00:22:00.000 But I asked her, I said, well, what about her past?
00:22:03.000 Oh, she was just waiting to come out.
00:22:06.000 I mean, the absurdity of that.
00:22:08.000 Wait.
00:22:09.000 So she was girly like up until the age 12 so that she could come out later as trans.
00:22:14.000 I mean, it's the nonsensical.
00:22:16.000 Well, so Erin, you're a lawyer in all this, and you'll appreciate my line of questioning.
00:22:22.000 You're saying that the entire medical industry is captured not for the well-being of children, but for a non-scientific, non-data-based ideology.
00:22:32.000 Absolutely correct.
00:22:34.000 And the AAP came out with their policy in 2018 pushing transgenderism.
00:22:44.000 And where were all the pediatricians fighting against that?
00:22:47.000 18 people wrote this policy.
00:22:51.000 And as a lawyer, I read it.
00:22:54.000 First of all, it has no basis in science.
00:22:56.000 And it uses words like nay, might, could.
00:23:00.000 These are buzzwords for we don't know.
00:23:03.000 It's a giant experiment.
00:23:06.000 And it's a catastrophic one.
00:23:08.000 And here you are, you're a pediatrician.
00:23:12.000 You take an oath to protect children and they just haphazardly say, go get hormones, go get puberty blockers, go irreversibly castrate yourself.
00:23:22.000 I just, I can't, I can't comprehend.
00:23:25.000 And we're still, other countries like Britain have outlawed puberty blockers now.
00:23:30.000 And interestingly enough, in Dr. Miriam Grossman's book, Lost in Transnation, she talks about how London actually has one of the largest puberty blocker, not puberty blocker, but gender reassignment clinics, and they give puberty blockers.
00:23:44.000 That clinic is now getting shut down by NHS.
00:23:47.000 So other countries are rejecting this, but we're embracing it in this country.
00:23:53.000 Sweden, Finland, Norway, France are all stopping this barbarism.
00:24:01.000 And we're not.
00:24:02.000 We're not, and we're pushing it forward.
00:24:04.000 Our president is pushing it.
00:24:06.000 Joe Biden and Levine says that you're a bad person if you don't allow trans youth to get chemical castration pills.
00:24:15.000 President Biden said it was close to a sin not to do it.
00:24:22.000 He used that word, sin.
00:24:24.000 It's a perfect quote to use on Good Friday.
00:24:27.000 He's saying that you might be sinning if you don't give a child puberty blockers.
00:24:30.000 That was the moment where I said I will never vote for a Democrat again.
00:24:38.000 I've been a Democrat since I was 18 years old.
00:24:42.000 My party is not my party anymore.
00:24:45.000 They want to harm children and say that you must do this.
00:24:51.000 And they are taking our children from loving parents.
00:24:55.000 Yes.
00:24:55.000 Yes, they are.
00:24:59.000 For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.
00:25:05.000 For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.
00:25:14.000 They have an online publication called The Lion, and also Making the Leap, the Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:25:23.000 Go to Herzogfoundation.com.
00:25:24.000 That is HerzogFoundation.com.
00:25:26.000 So check it out right now, HerzogFoundation.com.
00:25:29.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirk Show are brought to you in part by the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation.
00:25:33.000 That is HerzogFoundation.com.
00:25:38.000 Just someone emailed us, Arizona, 1318, not accessible to parents.
00:25:42.000 Only, I guess, the kid could sign over the records, right?
00:25:46.000 That's right.
00:25:46.000 And so as a parent, you need to get that set up.
00:25:48.000 Yeah, you need to kind of persuade them.
00:25:50.000 Hey, just sign this, you know.
00:25:53.000 That's right.
00:25:53.000 I mean, it's so insane that when my son was getting tested for mono, they wouldn't give me the results of it.
00:25:59.000 For mononucleosis.
00:26:00.000 That's correct.
00:26:02.000 He was about to get on the lacrosse field, which is really dangerous.
00:26:05.000 Yeah, obviously.
00:26:06.000 And they wouldn't give me his records, even though I took him in to get the blood test.
00:26:11.000 They are, this is a broader project of the left.
00:26:15.000 They want to destroy parental rights, strong families, but any sort of distinction between the parent and child.
00:26:21.000 They don't want that distinction to exist anymore.
00:26:24.000 That's correct.
00:26:25.000 The ballot initiative is ongoing.
00:26:26.000 You also have a lot of events that you're doing in California, right?
00:26:29.000 You have, how many detransitioners are there in the country?
00:26:34.000 You know, I can't really estimate that, but, you know, I shared with some numbers with you just like watching D-Trans Reddit.
00:26:42.000 Yes, 45,000, yeah.
00:26:45.000 Well, no, it's at 50.
00:26:46.000 Oh, is it at 50?
00:26:47.000 No.
00:26:47.000 Yeah, it grows about 20,000, 25,000 now a year.
00:26:51.000 So as we transition, more people, we get more detransitioners, and nobody's tracking that.
00:26:56.000 So, Erin, one thing that our audience, not our audience, but some people would have difficulty, you know, internalizing is that the wonderful, pristine American medical establishment is not there for our well-being on this topic.
00:27:13.000 It's not just the AAP.
00:27:15.000 The AAP is completely captured.
00:27:18.000 The American Association of Pediatrics.
00:27:20.000 That's correct.
00:27:21.000 And so we have the Pediatric Endocrine Society also is captured.
00:27:24.000 Oh, the endocrinologists are out of control.
00:27:26.000 Yeah.
00:27:28.000 Never send your child to an endocrinologist.
00:27:30.000 So this is how they did it.
00:27:32.000 It's only really a handful of people that took on leadership positions and poisoned these societies.
00:27:40.000 And everyone got scared and refused to speak up.
00:27:43.000 And they're, I mean, I can't say that all pediatricians, because Julia Mason is a good friend of mine and she spoke up.
00:27:48.000 There are outliers.
00:27:50.000 Yeah, but look, the numbers are there.
00:27:53.000 More people are against this than are for this.
00:27:55.000 And they just need to have the courage.
00:27:57.000 We cannot tobble this without people speaking up.
00:28:02.000 And doctors know that it's wrong.
00:28:03.000 When a surgeon is removing a 13-year-old girl's healthy breasts, he knows or she knows that this is wrong and says nothing and just assumes that all the mental health process occurred with this child.
00:28:21.000 And that assumption is wrong.
00:28:24.000 I mean, these surgeons should go to jail.
00:28:26.000 I mean, I hate to be like to jump to conclusions, but you're putting a kid under general anesthesia and you as a surgeon have a moral right.
00:28:33.000 Like, why are we doing this?
00:28:35.000 Like, you do a pre-operating consultation, right?
00:28:38.000 You're sitting down with this poor 13-year-old who's sitting on, you know, a table with his parents, probably terrified that they have to go under.
00:28:45.000 And you know, oh, what's the reason?
00:28:46.000 Oh, because some psychologist says that the breasts are making you feel uncomfortable.
00:28:50.000 Like a surgeon should be like, yeah, I'm not going to, I'm not going to cut you open.
00:28:54.000 Like that, that's unbelievable.
00:28:56.000 You didn't get in a car wreck, okay?
00:28:58.000 Meaning, we don't have to like do plastic surgery to fix you for whatever reason.
00:29:02.000 How can these surgeons live with themselves?
00:29:04.000 It's criminal.
00:29:05.000 It's absolutely criminal.
00:29:07.000 I want to tell you a story about what happened in Sacramento because Sacramento became a trans sanctuary state two days ago or three days ago.
00:29:14.000 And a woman got up and she was testifying for the trans sanctuary and she said, 10 days ago, I had my breasts removed and everyone clapped.
00:29:26.000 Like, this is an insane world.
00:29:28.000 They're clapping, celebrating that a young woman removed healthy body parts.
00:29:35.000 Like we have lost our minds.
00:29:38.000 And if you dare question it, they'll try to destroy your life.
00:29:43.000 Yes, but don't be afraid of that.
00:29:46.000 Just don't be afraid.
00:29:47.000 Erin, I mean, tell us why.
00:29:48.000 I mean, you're in your own description, former liberal, former New York Times got thrown into this.
00:29:53.000 You never planned it, but you're not afraid of them.
00:29:56.000 You fight, but a lot of people are afraid of this machine, this trans machine.
00:30:04.000 I'm going to tell everyone a secret.
00:30:06.000 They're more afraid of us than we are of them.
00:30:10.000 So we need to get loud.
00:30:13.000 We have 24 states now that have banned gender interventions on children.
00:30:20.000 And this is growing.
00:30:20.000 Yes.
00:30:21.000 They know their time is limited.
00:30:24.000 These kids are commodities.
00:30:26.000 They are money-making machines and they're trying to squeeze out every dollar before it ends.
00:30:33.000 They know it's going to come crashing down.
00:30:35.000 And this is why we need to get louder and louder and bolder.
00:30:40.000 Nothing has happened to me.
00:30:42.000 I used to have a fake name.
00:30:43.000 Actually, Charlie, my fake name was Charlie.
00:30:45.000 Oh, is that right?
00:30:46.000 I was afraid.
00:30:46.000 That's right.
00:30:48.000 And then I came out in my real name.
00:30:50.000 And boy, what a, what it unburdened.
00:30:54.000 I was so unburdened to just be me.
00:30:56.000 Nothing has happened to me.
00:30:57.000 Yes, people say horrible things about me, but I don't really care.
00:31:02.000 Name calling doesn't hurt.
00:31:04.000 Is it as cynical as they just want to make money or is there something else at play here?
00:31:09.000 There's a multiple reasons why this is happening.
00:31:13.000 So we've got the money aspect, which is pretty easy to understand.
00:31:16.000 And it's not just the surgeons.
00:31:17.000 The money comes from the government too.
00:31:19.000 And it's from all these NGOs coming into schools and teaching this garbage.
00:31:23.000 So everybody's making money off of kids.
00:31:26.000 And then there's the sexual depravity.
00:31:29.000 And the WPATH files showed that very clearly of the depravity going on here and the fetish aspect of all of this.
00:31:38.000 And then you have, you know, I know you've friends with James Lindsay, you have the Marxist movement.
00:31:42.000 He's the best.
00:31:43.000 Yeah, he is.
00:31:44.000 The Marxist movement.
00:31:46.000 And you have the breakup of the family.
00:31:48.000 And then you have the destruction of democracy.
00:31:51.000 So there's all these facets.
00:31:54.000 That is underlying transgenderism.
00:31:56.000 That's why it's very difficult to take it down, but we can.
00:32:03.000 But yeah, there's a myriad of reasons why they're doing this.
00:32:06.000 And then there's pedophilia.
00:32:08.000 I mean, we have to talk about the pedophilia.
00:32:11.000 You put puberty or sorry, you put cross-sex hormones, testosterone into a young girl's body, and you're going to change her sexuality.
00:32:20.000 You're going to make her hypersexual because girls don't have that amount of testosterone in their bodies.
00:32:26.000 What happens then?
00:32:28.000 Well, what do you think happens?
00:32:31.000 They become aggressive and promiscuous.
00:32:34.000 That's correct.
00:32:35.000 And also by taking the kids from parents, remember the state-sanctioned kidnapping.
00:32:41.000 This opens up the door for sex traffickers because these kids are now being housed in residential facilities.
00:32:49.000 So it's a whole big cabal to take these kids.
00:32:52.000 So you think that pedophiles are, I agree, are pushing this because they want to get closer to young kids.
00:32:58.000 Absolutely.
00:32:59.000 Why do grown men want to be in young girls' bathrooms?
00:33:04.000 Because they're sick.
00:33:07.000 This is a way to justify this.
00:33:10.000 And once we have kids making decisions at the age of 12 for their health, we're going to have kids.
00:33:17.000 They're going to have laws that are going to allow 12-year-olds to make.
00:33:20.000 Okay, I want to try to do this the best we can in about six or seven minutes.
00:33:24.000 So can you just complete that point?
00:33:26.000 Because you're going through all the elements, the pedophilia, the profit motive, the there's also a transhumanist element of people that want to try to take dominion over how you are built or I believe created, and you can kind of customize yourself in your own, your own liking.
00:33:42.000 You're absolutely correct.
00:33:44.000 And the WPATH fat, sorry, the WPATH files showed that, right?
00:33:49.000 They're creating bodies that have both sets of genitals and normalizing this.
00:33:56.000 Like this is, you know, we're made of Legos and we're no longer human.
00:34:03.000 They're trying to put uteruses into men's bodies.
00:34:08.000 They use this chemical concoction to make men express some sort of liquid so that they can nurse a child.
00:34:19.000 This is barbaric.
00:34:21.000 Nobody talks about the effect on the baby.
00:34:25.000 We have a bill in California.
00:34:27.000 I call it the buy yourself a baby or get yourself a baby, where anyone can get a surrogate and get themselves a child.
00:34:36.000 I mean, talk about open season on pedophilia.
00:34:42.000 It's horrible where we're going.
00:34:46.000 Your effort is to try to combine forces, get this on the ballot.
00:34:49.000 If there is one thing you wish every American parent knew about this, what would that be?
00:34:55.000 First, I tell every American parent, do not send your child to a public school.
00:35:01.000 Period.
00:35:02.000 No exception.
00:35:03.000 No exception.
00:35:04.000 Homeschool them if you can.
00:35:07.000 Send them to private school, but check out that private school because the private schools in California are also captured, including, shockingly, Catholic schools.
00:35:16.000 That's right.
00:35:17.000 They're some of the worst.
00:35:18.000 Yeah.
00:35:19.000 And also, do not give them that phone.
00:35:23.000 It's hard, but the internet is the other avenue that these kids are taking on this transgender identity.
00:35:30.000 They are getting lauded and love-bombed on the internet, and you cannot parent against a million other people.
00:35:38.000 So that was my mistake.
00:35:40.000 You giving your daughter the phone.
00:35:42.000 Absolutely.
00:35:43.000 And so those are your two things.
00:35:45.000 No public school, no phone.
00:35:46.000 And I totally agree with that.
00:35:49.000 Yeah.
00:35:49.000 And well, and I'll add a third.
00:35:51.000 You have to get to your child first.
00:35:54.000 Talk to your child as soon as they are four and tell them how that, how great it is to be a boy or a girl, and that they can never change sex.
00:36:04.000 And that if a teacher ever tells them to keep a secret from them, you come right to mommy and daddy.
00:36:09.000 Just like someone trying to kidnap you.
00:36:11.000 I was trained when you're young.
00:36:13.000 Someone tries to go with a car.
00:36:14.000 You run the other way.
00:36:15.000 You do that.
00:36:16.000 That's how we need to, we need to train kids actively to basically scream and run if a groomer tries to trans them.
00:36:24.000 That's correct.
00:36:25.000 I know a mother who told her son to walk out of the classroom every time they mentioned the word transgender, and the kid walks out of the classroom.
00:36:36.000 That's the sort of like conditioning that we need.
00:36:39.000 We need to prepare them for because they are coming after our children.
00:36:42.000 They are absolutely coming after our children.
00:36:46.000 Final question here.
00:36:47.000 How widespread is this?
00:36:48.000 Because people say, oh, this is just on the fringe.
00:36:50.000 It's not that, not that big of a deal.
00:36:53.000 It's not fringe at all.
00:36:55.000 I mean, we were looking at numbers of 20% of kids saying that they're somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum and it just continues to grow.
00:37:05.000 The onslaught continues.
00:37:07.000 They are reading these transgender books to children at the age of four when they are so malleable.
00:37:13.000 It is in our cartoons.
00:37:16.000 It's on our TVs.
00:37:17.000 It's in our movies.
00:37:19.000 We even have buses in my neighborhood that are wrapped in the trans flag.
00:37:24.000 It is everywhere.
00:37:26.000 And so it is a monumental task for a parent to keep their child safe.
00:37:32.000 And if you think that you can run away to a red state, you're mistaken.
00:37:37.000 You're still not safe in a red state.
00:37:39.000 Not at all.
