Dr. Phil joins the program of the Truth of What's Happening in Chicago to talk about the trans movement and why it's time to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. Dr. Phil is a pediatrician, lawyer, and author. He's also the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization dedicated to fighting for freedom and justice for all.
00:00:27.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:22.000For some time, a rallying call of the conservative movement has been to end the medical mutilation that is happening in our country.
00:01:34.000I want to rewind back to 2018 or 2019. The trans movement looked ascendant in this country.
00:01:41.000It looked as if it was the most popular thing happening.
00:01:45.000There was no way that we could stop it.
00:01:48.000That drag queen story hour was going to go down with prayer in public places.
00:01:54.000That it is the new religious ceremony was dudes in dresses around our children.
00:02:01.000There was no stopping the trans movement.
00:02:03.000In fact, if you dare spoke out against the trans mafia, they would come to your home, they would call you names, and you are a hater and you are a bigot.
00:02:15.000It started with bathrooms, and then it went to public schools, and then Drag Queen Story Hour.
00:02:20.000And then we started to see these stories of people that actually, under the age of 18, went through medical butchery, otherwise known as gender transition.
00:02:33.000And all of this was a concerted and focused attempt to undermine the nuclear family.
00:02:39.000Now, Karl Marx wrote extensively in his writings that the family was a capitalist institution, that the family was a form of ownership, that in the ideal Marxist society, there would be no parents over children.
00:02:55.000It would all be communal, that no woman would belong to one another.
00:03:00.000The trans movement at its core took advantage.
00:03:03.000Took advantage of the generosity and the benevolence.
00:03:08.000The trans movement took advantage of the good-heartedness of America.
00:03:17.000They started to change when we saw Thomas win the national championship and steal the national championship from Riley Gaines.
00:03:25.000Things started to change when we started to see 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds have to undergo surgery and have irreversible damage to them.
00:03:36.000And yet, the forces against us seemed insurmountable.
00:03:41.000All of corporate America, from Target.
00:03:44.000To the major institutions of our country, from the White House, which changed Easter, to the Transgender Day of Awareness, we felt as if that this was an inevitability.
00:03:57.000But many of you fought back, and we certainly did at Turning Point USA, and we did here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:04:02.000We started to consolidate the top leaders, thinkers, authors, together.
00:04:10.000From Dr. Miriam Grossman to Abigail Schreier.
00:04:14.000The top thought leaders that understood what was actually happening to our children, and we went down to base fundamental truths.
00:04:22.000There was a moment where we could not talk about this on social media.
00:04:25.000Still to this day, it is hard to talk about this topic on YouTube.
00:04:29.000YouTube will get you, they'll issue a strike, they could ban you, they could demonetize you.
00:04:34.000And these tens of thousands of poor kids became annuities for Big Pharma.
00:04:43.000All across the country, kids were being put into the butcher assembly line to have their breasts chopped off, to undergo unspeakable medieval butchery by people who call themselves doctors, to be administered Lupron or testosterone replacement therapy.
00:05:21.000And we've said for a while it must come to an end.
00:05:24.000The Democrat Party embraces this degenerate dudes in thongs dancing in front of your 8-year-old.
00:05:32.000That is a core religious pillar of the modern Democrat Party.
00:05:37.000And it seemed as if we had no way to fight back on a federal level.
00:05:41.000There were some states that started to fight back until President Donald Trump.
00:05:45.000Until President Donald Trump won the election, was sworn in just nine days ago.
00:05:50.000What we saw last evening was without a doubt one of the most inspiring triumphs of the family movement in modern history.
00:06:02.000President Donald Trump signed a spectacular...
00:06:05.000And almost too good to be true, wide-ranging, focused executive order against the medieval chemical castration and butchery of our children.
00:06:16.000And don't take my word for it, Matt Walsh, who's a very, very tough grader, said, quote, read through the entire executive order on child mutilation.
00:06:49.000Then you must celebrate the trans agenda.
00:06:51.000Then you must participate in the trans agenda.
00:06:54.000Ever slowly moving the Overton window, where that which was unthinkable and unspeakable became mainstream.
00:07:01.000But we, the parents of America, the moms and dads who have children of this country, rose up in record numbers and voted for Donald Trump.
00:07:10.000And President Trump did not just deliver last evening.
00:07:14.000He sent a clarion call message to every weak-knee, wobbly Republican politician across the country that we will end child mutilation in this country.
00:07:25.000These are kids that have mental issues, that have a brain problem, not a body problem, and yet they go after surgery for 13-year-olds.
00:07:36.000In these child clinics across the country, while they don't treat the underlying bipolar schizophrenia, Generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and so on and so forth.
00:08:44.000President Donald Trump stood up against the trans mafia.
00:08:47.000President Donald Trump stood up against some of the most powerful pharmaceutical companies that are making billions off of your kids and their peers as annuities.
00:08:57.000And President Donald Trump says, I don't care.
00:08:59.000As president, we are going to put an end to this medieval witchcraft.
00:09:04.000We are going to sunset this dark and ugly chapter in American history.
00:09:09.000And President Donald Trump delivers on yet another core campaign promise.
00:09:14.000And he's protecting our children up against all the other special interests in a way that no other Republican politician would dream of doing.
00:09:25.000And now you can say that finally this trans cartel is on defense and we stood up against the bully and punched back twice as hard.
00:09:38.000Remember that we vote every day with our dollar.

00:10:38.000Joining us now is Dr. Phil McGraw, author and TV host of Merit TV and host of Dr. Phil Primetime on Merit TV. Dr. Phil, honored to have you.
00:10:51.000So, Dr. Phil, you went viral recently on a clip where you went to Chicago with Tom Homan during what is now the famous ICE immigration raids.
00:11:01.000What did you learn on the ground in Chicago?
00:11:05.000Well, I'm glad you asked it just that way because I learned that what the legacy media is putting out is a bunch of fear-mongering because they're talking about sweeps through neighborhoods, indiscriminately picking up.
00:11:20.000Anybody with a tan is kind of what they're implying, that they're going into businesses, sweeping through there, going to schools, that sort of thing, and nothing could be further from the truth.
00:11:30.000What I saw was a multi-agency operation where people were coming together, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, ICE, FBI. And they were making coordinated efforts after doing a lot of research to take the worst first.
00:11:50.000They were focusing on violent criminals that are in our communities today and taking them out of our communities.
00:11:58.000And I don't know how anybody could object to that.
00:12:01.000I don't know how anybody could not want those people.
00:12:04.000I was hoping Tom Holman would take one of them.
00:12:07.000Go down to the town square or the mayor's front yard and say, here, I got him.
00:12:30.000So, Dr. Phil, one of the pieces of tape that went really viral...
00:12:34.000Is when you had the dialogue with a young man who was convicted of a heinous sexual crime against a child.
00:12:43.000The implication of that clip is that the prior administration, the Biden administration, seems largely indifferent about deporting this individual back to their country of origin.
00:12:56.000When you were on the ground, did you learn that ICE and these deportation agencies were not empowered to fully be able to do their job?
00:13:06.000There's no question about it, Charlie.
00:13:08.000These are sanctuary cities, and I'm not sure what a sanctuary city really is.
00:13:14.000I mean, there aren't as clear a definition as people think, but what I do know is that law enforcement there is not cooperating with ICE. So if they have one of these individuals in custody, now think about what that means.
00:13:32.000They've been bad enough actors that the city, the local law enforcement, saw fit to incarcerate them, arrest them, prosecute them, put them in jail.
00:13:45.000All that has been asked is that, look, raise your hand.
00:13:48.000Let us know when you have these people in custody if they're an illegal immigrant because we will be there to pick them up in the safety of the jail.
00:13:58.000Or let us know when they're walking out the front door.
00:14:00.000We will be standing there to wait for them and start prosecuting them for deportation.
00:14:11.000Either on bail or they're on probation or whatever, they're just turned back out into the community.
00:14:16.000This individual had been in the community, I think, since 2007 after his conviction.
00:14:24.000Now, one thing we know about child predators is they're not one and done.
00:14:29.000They tend to have multiple victims throughout their career.
00:14:34.000So how many victims did this individual have?
00:14:37.000While he was out there floating around in the community.
00:14:40.000So we watched as the ICE agent spent what had to be hundreds of man hours trying to locate this individual, take him in a way that he was not a danger during the arrest to neighbors, passers-by, when they could have had one agent.
00:15:06.000Dr. Phil, I just want to emphasize the point that you're making, and then we will play some of the pieces of tape here from Merit TV, which I encourage everyone to check out, which is that...
00:15:31.000This is a choice of the prior administration.
00:15:33.000There was a choice that was made that violent people against children, that there was just an indifference towards bringing them back to the country of origin.
00:16:46.000Their candidate program is 100% free and confidential, so my closest friends have used Selective Search, and let me tell you, they're meeting incredible women.
00:18:08.000Again, the downfall, the problem with the sanctuary city that people like us walk in the street rather than law enforcement working with federal agents.
00:20:15.000He shouldn't be here to begin with to commit the crimes that he's committing.
00:20:19.000And when he is located again so he can be taken out of this country, people should be standing up to these ICE agents and saying thank you instead of fear-mongering and making people afraid to go to school or afraid to go to their jobs because that's not what they're doing.
00:20:36.000But if they're forced into the community and they arrest someone like this...
00:20:43.000And they are going to take out other people that maybe aren't violent criminals but are with someone like this.
00:20:50.000They're going to ask, what's your deal?
00:20:53.000And they're going to take out other people.
00:20:55.000It would be much better for those that don't want nonviolence taken out if they would let them go into the jail.
00:21:02.000They would take them out, move on to the next violent criminal and not be looking at others right now.
00:21:07.000Dr. Phil, I want to play another piece of tape here from Merit TV, your conversation with Tom Homan, echoing some of these sentiments, but seeing it in raw video form is very powerful.
00:22:10.000So, Dr. Phil, you might not have the answer to this, but then it begs the question, there is a list, and they know where a lot of these people are.
00:23:04.000And as you look across there, if you could be close enough to read, which you can't, but it was murderer, murderer, violent, aggravated assault, child rapist.
00:23:18.000Rapists, sex crimes against children, all of these people that were arrested and being taken out of the community, all of these had files.
00:23:27.000And they had done investigations on these people, gotten their rap sheets, known where they had dwellings.
00:23:36.000Some of them had been under surveillance.
00:23:39.000There were arms dealers in there, drug dealers in there, traffickers in there.
00:23:45.000All in this group of 270, and gang members, MS-13, TDA, all of these gang members.
00:23:57.000And these Venezuelans, for example, come into the city, and the first thing they do is find their countrymen that are here, and they start extorting and bullying them, taking advantage of them, and then they start...
00:24:15.000So these are bad actors, Charlie, and they're dangerous.
00:24:42.000Find and rescue these hundreds of thousands of missing children that have been brought into this country and trafficked into slave labor or sex work in some way.
00:24:52.000That's their three-prong agenda right now, and the focus is worst first right now in the beginning, and they've got plenty of worst to get to for a long time.
00:25:04.000So, Dr. Phil, in closing here, and thank you for your time, what is your general analysis and take on the pace at which the president is operating?
00:25:13.000I know you've had the opportunity to interview him before and know the president for quite some time.
00:25:19.000What is your take on how President Trump has started this first week and a half?
00:25:25.000Whether you like President Trump or whether you don't, whether you voted for him or whether you didn't, he told people what he was going to do, and he is doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
00:25:38.000He didn't make a bunch of campaign promises and then sit around and waffle on this, waffle on that.
00:25:46.000He's doing exactly what he said he was going to do.
00:25:49.000He's pursuing the priorities that he set out so people knew.
00:26:56.000I hope to see you in person sometime soon.
00:26:58.000I love Merit TV. Closing, how could people follow Merit TV, follow it, options that people could be aware of the wonderful work you're doing?
00:27:05.000Well, if you go to just MeritStreetMedia.com and open up, you'll see quickly you just put in your zip code and it'll tell you where you can watch it in your community because we're on all the cable channels, all the cable systems.
00:27:19.000We're on streaming and we have the Merit TV. I think it's driving the left crazy because they're speculating about what's happened.
00:27:48.000We're on the ground with our cameras, just letting people see, make up their own mind about whether what's being said is true or false.
00:27:56.000And that seems to be driving them crazy.
00:27:59.000Dr. Phil, thank you so much for your time.
00:28:06.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here with New Year's Resolutions.
00:28:09.000Many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.
00:28:11.000But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition?
00:28:14.000Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs because truthfully, it's not what you are feeding your pet, it's what you are not.
00:28:22.000Which is why he created Rough Greens and Meow Greens in the first place.
00:28:26.000Bring their dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more.
00:28:34.000All in their tasty formula your dog or cat will love.
00:28:38.000Improve your pet's coat digestion and energy and have less vet bills.
00:28:43.000Let 2025 bring a new year and a new pet.
00:29:26.000And included in that pile of paper was a top priority for Mr. Biden.
00:29:33.000The elimination of the 1776 Commission.
00:29:37.000It was such a high priority of that maniac, Joe Biden, to get rid of patriotic, pro-American education that he made it a point as one of his first actions as president to get rid of it.
00:29:59.000The 1776 Commission was originally chartered, as you can see in that photograph, as a counter to the cancer of critical race theory, to the growing curriculum issue of teaching our kids to hate the country, hate their history, and hate themselves.
00:30:19.000Now, if you have not had an opportunity to read the 1776 report, it's fabulous.
00:31:18.000We are going to teach our kids to love America again.
00:31:22.000We are going to teach the fundamental principles of the Declaration of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers.
00:31:29.000Our kids will know the difference between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and John Jay and James Madison.
00:31:35.000They'll be able to tell you the eternal significance of the phrase, when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have tied them to another.
00:32:13.000We're going to defund CRT in our schools and defund gender ideology.
00:32:16.000And if you guys are supporting this stuff, you do not receive a cent of federal money.
00:32:21.000We cannot get back to a constitutional reset if we do not know our birth certificate.
00:32:27.000What President Donald Trump is doing today is enshrining to make sure that the children of this great nation know their original founding promise.
00:32:40.000To get back to the North Star, to get back to the birth certificate that we all agree upon, which is the Declaration and the Constitution that has this eternal key.
00:32:49.000And bringing in rock stars like Dr. Larry Arnn from the great Hillsdale College, Matthew Spaulding, that are going to help pioneer and drive this entire project.
00:33:00.000There you see Dr. Arnn up there from the greatest college in America, Hillsdale College.
00:33:04.000Hillsdale College is going to be one of the driving forces behind the 1776 Commission.
00:33:10.000And today, President Donald Trump makes it permanent.
00:33:37.000It's the work we do at Turning Point USA, the work we do at Turning Point Academy, the work we are doing on the front lines of high school and college campuses across the country.
00:33:44.000This is a clear signal from the most powerful person on the planet that we are articulating 1776 is our birthday.
00:33:59.000And it will be more than just a counter to CRT or DEI. It is going to be an expansion of what it means to be a full American virtuous citizen in the year 2025. And it's coming back today.
00:34:13.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
