00:04:08.960
on this here's the latest from cnn president biden touts his reelection campaign as a fight to
00:04:15.360
preserve democracy but if you ask some trump supporters the former president is not a threat
00:04:20.080
to democracy because the united states is not a democracy obviously there's a lot of criticisms of
00:04:26.480
trump that he is bad for democracy that he's bad for american democracy we are a republic
00:04:32.560
we are not a republic republic we're not a democracy one thing we've been hearing at trump rallies like
00:04:39.440
this over the past few months is that america isn't really a democracy america's not a democracy
00:04:46.240
it's a republic it's not a democracy okay democracy is actually not as good as you think it is america
00:04:53.840
is a democracy it was founded as a democracy i've heard a lot of conspiracy theories i hear a lot of things
00:04:59.120
out on the road but to hear americans people who would describe themselves as patriots say that
00:05:06.720
america is not a democracy that stopped me in my tracks you are hearing people say america is not a
00:05:14.160
democracy listen to the expert there are people around trump who want them to be saying that who've
00:05:19.120
been planting that narrative ah okay they've been planning that narrative wow okay continue on please
00:05:25.840
you play some more play some more if there's any more oh you got to get to the okay so see if they
00:05:30.560
can give me the the rest of it where they explain where they go back and they talk to people and they're
00:05:36.400
saying you're you're wrong we're not a republic and they make this into a giant scandal we
00:05:45.600
are a republic and to the republic for which it stands okay here's the problem
00:05:55.840
people don't understand what the difference is between a democracy we are a democracy on voting day
00:06:05.360
one man one vote you go in and you use the democratic principle of one man one vote and you democratically
00:06:14.800
elect uh people to their position but you're what you're not doing is voting on every single law you are
00:06:25.440
voting for a representative that representative represents you in the republic a republic has
00:06:36.000
people understands that people can't understand every single issue and be voting on every single issue
00:06:43.760
a republic also understands that a democracy is bad a democracy only country will fail every time
00:06:53.360
because all you need is to whip enough people into a frenzy schedule a vote they'll vote the way you
00:06:59.920
want them to vote it will bring you things like the patriot act when something bad happens people will be
00:07:07.040
like we gotta stop all those japanese let's put them into a camp okay you have a republic to slow the
00:07:17.920
the process down and give reason a chance can you imagine this country voting on every single issue
00:07:28.320
when they don't even know the difference between a republic and a democracy and when you have media
00:07:34.400
that is going to experts so-called experts and telling us that we're a we're not a republic
00:07:42.640
a lot of time was spent with the founders trying to find the best system they ruled democracy out
00:07:51.360
because they always fail so they took the democratic principle which is one man one vote use that to
00:07:59.200
select representatives we are a representative republic
00:08:05.360
and that you have to be able to explain that to people you have to understand look
00:08:16.960
democracy is a very important part of our republic but it is not what we are we are a democratic republic
00:08:30.480
so we vote for the people to represent us why is the democracy part so important well the democracy part
00:08:41.200
is really important because what was the war in heaven all about if you go back and you read your
00:08:49.600
scriptures and you look at the war in heaven what was it about it was about satan saying
00:08:58.240
i'll cleanse all of them you don't need anything but me i'll go down and i will tell everyone
00:09:08.080
what they're supposed to do and keep them from sinning i'll keep them safe
00:09:15.520
and they won't make any decisions on their own i'll tell them they can only do these things
00:09:20.480
things and then jesus stood up and said no they must have freedom of choice
00:09:31.440
and so i will go down and atone for all of their mistakes so the very first thing in the very first
00:09:41.600
argument in all of the scriptures the first argument was over free choice do i have someone make all the
00:09:52.080
decisions to keep me safe and free from all harm or do i have a savior that will rebalance things and make
00:10:02.720
sure that you're clean enough because no one can be clean enough no one will ever be perfect on earth
00:10:14.240
unless satan would say somebody tells them exactly what they can and cannot do
00:10:22.080
well that is a misunderstanding of human nature that is a misunderstanding of god's nature
00:10:32.080
so one man one vote yes very important but then take human nature into account
00:10:44.960
things that's a bad idea so the whole constitution is written to restrain the government so they cannot
00:10:56.640
make every decision for you like they're trying to this is when people say government thinks it's god
00:11:05.680
government is their god yes it is because they want it to make all of the decisions for you does that
00:11:13.760
sound like the plan of jesus or the plan of satan so you elect the representatives they answer to you
00:11:27.200
this is why they are the ones that hold the purse congress is supposed to be the only one that can
00:11:33.440
initiate spending but these people who claim they're for democracy are just spending it anyway it doesn't
00:11:42.080
matter matter they hold the purse they're the closest to you they're elected every two years why
00:11:51.360
because you need to be able to tell your representative no that's not what we want
00:11:59.040
that's why every bill of spending everything needs to start with congress but what happened to congress
00:12:06.720
why isn't congress why isn't congress doing anything well they'll say it's because of the republicans and
00:12:11.760
the democrats no it's because no one in washington wants it to work that way they want to be able to
00:12:21.360
issue dictates dictate dictate that's the root word of something else oh a dictator
00:12:31.120
they want to issue either an executive order which is part of the american republic but they were
00:12:40.400
never meant to be used like this all the things that are going through executive order now are the
00:12:47.680
responsibility of congress and the senate they were never we were never to be ruled by faceless bureaucrats
00:13:00.880
that no one elected you want to talk about to democracy the epa the atf the uh the housing
00:13:14.240
people the the the the fed all of these things that you never elected you never elected any of those
00:13:23.440
people and it's okay if they are hired to be in there to make the system work but instead they're making
00:13:34.160
the rules which become laws only congress can make laws but we don't do that anymore
00:13:42.640
that's why we have to restore the republic democracy is happening and democracy is very important
00:13:55.120
but we have to restore the republic because the republic part of our democratic republic is broken
00:14:03.120
oh these the the lies and the lies from not only the media but the so-called experts when are we going
00:14:17.120
to stop listening to these experts well i'll tell you i'll tell you the because the rest of that cnn report
00:14:26.960
went on and went back to the people who said we're a republic not a democracy
00:14:31.760
and then they couldn't understand they couldn't define what a republic was
00:14:36.240
well you're of no help you're of no help that's why we have the experts don't claim something if you don't
00:14:47.280
all knowledge all information everything you believe must be yours and it must be purchased at the price
00:14:57.120
that apparently is too high for somebody to some people to pay most americans to pay
00:15:04.320
the price you have for your opinion is it is your opinion that you have done some sort of research
00:15:13.680
you've done some sort of thinking on this and you haven't taken it from a boob like me
00:15:19.840
and just went oh yeah well he said it and you know it sounded really good so we are a republic not
00:15:26.000
a democracy you can't take what i have spent my lifetime learning and studying you can't take it from
00:15:34.080
me it must be your own it's like a testimony of god if you don't have a testimony that is yours
00:15:42.480
if you are feasting on somebody else's you're doomed okay it won't work it will break down and
00:15:49.760
people will say well wait a minute what about this or this and this if you haven't thought of that
00:15:56.000
then you don't really have a testimony if you haven't thought when i say well what is the difference
00:16:01.600
between a republic and a democracy if you can't explain that what do you how do you think your
00:16:10.480
kids are going to explain it how do you think you can possibly defend the united states of america if we
00:16:17.920
don't know what our rights are if we don't know why they were established
00:16:24.160

00:18:04.560
all right i want to introduce you to um dr uh ethan heim he is a surgeon and he is the pediatric
00:18:14.160
sex change whistleblower um he was the anonymous whistleblower in the study that uh or the story
00:18:22.880
that was released by uh christopher rufo good friend of the program and a good friend to the republic he
00:18:28.720
exposed the texas children's hospital continue and expanded its pediatric sex change program
00:18:36.240
despite the fact that they had announced that that was all shut down in march 2022
00:18:41.600
well within 24 hours of the story's publication the laws in texas were changed now just a couple of
00:18:51.040
weeks later there's a knock on dr ime's door and uh it's he it's uh people from hhs agents from hhs
00:19:02.400
he said they were aggressive we'll get the story from him but they said he was under investigation by
00:19:07.680
the department of justice he was standing at the door they just wanted to do a quick interview
00:19:13.520
it's my understanding his wife said no no wait honey let's get an attorney
00:19:17.840
now there are four felonies he didn't break any laws let's go to dr heim hello doctor
00:19:28.960
yeah thank you so much for having me on and um you know it's it's a crazy day because in a few hours
00:19:35.440
we'll be going to court for the first time so if anyone wants to donate to our legal fund they can go to
00:19:40.800
gifts then go dot com forward slash texas to underscore whistleblower uh we need all the
00:19:46.320
help we can get we need to do something to protect these kids protect whistleblowers and so you have
00:19:53.200
you're welcome um and thank you for what you've done and and your attitude you have said because
00:19:58.320
you've already gone through all of your savings all of your retirement funds uh everything you've gone
00:20:04.560
through to pay for the attorneys and you really need help and you said that you didn't want to
00:20:10.480
come on because you don't want to sound like some grifter you didn't want to sound like you were making
00:20:13.920
money uh off of this or even being a victim because you said all of this has been worth it
00:20:22.400
yeah you know it's it's one of those things where you never imagine something like this is going to
00:20:28.240
happen to you right because you see it in the news especially over the past few years
00:20:32.400
you see it happening to other people but then one day you know that knock comes to your door
00:20:39.280
and then after those agents left right after my wife you know she advised me not to speak with them
00:20:43.920
without attorney you know we had a decision to make right do we try to fight back or or do we submit to
00:20:49.200
the ideology and try to make it all go away and we knew that we were going to have you know kids someday
00:20:55.360
and you know what kind of world would we be delivering them into if there's not the men and
00:21:02.880
women in this world who are willing to sacrifice in order to deliver them to a better future so yeah
00:21:09.280
we made a lot of sacrifices we've sacrificed a lot i mean everything we have all of our money
00:21:15.120
but the thing is what you gain back is something so much greater because you have the opportunity to
00:21:20.560
fight back against people who are destroying this country and there's gonna be someday in the future
00:21:25.920
where you know my daughter and and my wife is pregnant she's 23 weeks with her first child
00:21:33.280
and um thank you thank you yeah it's my first father's day yesterday but you know it kind of
00:21:38.560
became real because you think like you know you you raise them because to to have the virtues
00:21:46.000
to live a good and fulfilling life but but what does that mean if the parents are not willing to
00:21:52.480
sacrifice to make a world where those virtues are are valuable because right now what's happening is
00:22:00.160
this government is criminalizing those virtues the justice system is protecting criminals going after the
00:22:06.240
innocent the medical system is creating sickness and going after the healthy right the education system is is
00:22:12.800
producing is is miseducating people right it's like every institution is is uh the opposite of what
00:22:21.200
it's meant to do and people like us have to do something about it even if that means sacrificing
00:22:26.080
okay so no laws have been violated that your attorneys can find right um no identifiable patient health
00:22:33.520
information was disclosed even though that's what the hhs or department of justice prosecutor said
00:22:39.920
they first said that you know right go ahead we're not really sure you know because we'll find out later
00:22:48.240
today because we have our first hearing um i mean it's obvious you know all the evidence has been
00:22:53.120
online since may 16th 2023 we're not we're not really sure what they've been alleging um i mean you can
00:22:59.840
my attorneys had written a letter to congress uh january 25th 2024 outlining the misconduct coming from
00:23:07.520
the prosecutor's office and you know that letter makes clear you know she had not even reviewed the evidence
00:23:13.600
before she sent agents to my home right and without even knowing the evidence she had threatened my wife
00:23:21.120
right because my wife is a assistant u.s attorney in the northern district of texas with the department of justice
00:23:27.680
and she even though she didn't look into the the case she did enough research to find out my wife was undergoing a
00:23:34.320
background check and use that to say well andrea is not going to have any problems unless she continues
00:23:40.640
to become difficult and what she was referring to was her advising me to um to you know my constitutional
00:23:48.720
right to have an attorney present right so this stems from the these guys and you say they were overly
00:23:55.360
aggressive and you know armed up what what was the approach from the hhs deputies or whatever they've
00:24:03.680
got what was that like when you open the door how how did you perceive this yeah the aggression was
00:24:10.560
a reflection of their timing because it was june 23rd 2023 it was about a month and a week after the
00:24:18.080
story came out and it was one of the most important days of my life right the day i was graduating
00:24:24.240
from surgical training the ceremony was was later that evening and you know it's like you sacrifice
00:24:29.760
so much during those previous years right 80 90 100 hours a week you miss so many important life events
00:24:36.240
and you know my family's in town um right celebrate with all the people i've trained with and a few
00:24:42.800
hours before that these armed hhs agents come to my home and inform me that i'm under i'm a potential
00:24:50.240
target of a criminal investigation and it's no surprise that they chose that day to come because
00:24:57.600
they wanted to use the the nature of the accomplishment as the crux of this threat right saying that you just
00:25:06.640
graduated you have your whole career ahead of you you better comply we're going to take everything
00:25:11.360
away from you but so they knocked on the wrong door yeah so they they said we could just we just
00:25:19.120
want to talk to you and your wife said at the time uh that no no get an attorney honey make sure you
00:25:28.240
ask for your attorney to be present right and so you know you kind of you kind of freak out the moment
00:25:34.480
when they show up to your door right it's like i didn't know what to do so i invited them in they
00:25:38.640
want to do an interview they start setting up a tripod but then luckily my wife she was she was
00:25:43.200
getting ready at the time she comes out and then she pulls me aside we go to the bedroom and then
00:25:48.080
she said that you know we both agree that we should have an attorney president we go back out and tell
00:25:53.200
them you know that um you know it's just not a good idea we won't speak with you and then they say okay
00:25:58.320
and then they leave but before they hand me a target letter informing me i'm a potential target of
00:26:04.560
a criminal investigation and they were telling you at the time if you just cooperate uh you could
00:26:11.360
avoid the felony prosecution correct yeah that was um outlined in the letter my attorneys had sent to
00:26:18.880
congress where it was the prosecutor um uh who was saying that where but you know it's it's for what
00:26:26.320
right and it's no legal statute had been violated right it's the hospital had been lying to the public
00:26:33.680
about what they were doing to these children it it revealed a principle of medicine right it's like
00:26:40.000
there's nothing you should be doing behind closed doors that you're unwilling to defend in public
00:26:46.080
and if they need to lie to people about it then of course it's wrong something's wrong yes um the
00:26:52.480
prosecutor claimed that your wife had interfered with a criminal investigation because she said you should
00:27:00.960
have your attorney present how is that interference with a criminal how is the constitutional right
00:27:10.640
an interference with a criminal investigation yeah i mean that's exactly correct because
00:27:17.440
this is a constitutional right and what we've been seeing over the past couple of years
00:27:22.240
is the exact opposite it's like the justice system has become a weaponized against those who demonstrate
00:27:30.960
the virtues that made this country great and and we've seen this with countless cases and these are
00:27:37.520
cases you've covered right and it's just i'm just a regular guy you know i live in a very small town i work
00:27:44.560
in an even smaller town and if it's happening to me it's going to happen to all to to everyone else at
00:27:51.600
some point you know if they came for me they're going to come for you so they also said that you didn't
00:27:56.960
have the right to blow a whistle because it's not quote your job to try to stop the pediatric uh program that you
00:28:05.920
should have put up a banner on the highway to express your opinion you know that's one of the things
00:28:13.440
that really frustrated me the most um and and you know grant we're hearing all of this this is all
00:28:20.880
happening while i'm anonymous because june 23rd 2023 to january 24 january 2024 i'm still anonymous
00:28:30.160
because like we didn't want to blow up our whole lives right we just wanted to live a quiet life
00:28:35.040
that's why we moved to these to a small town and where i took the job that i did because we just
00:28:41.440
wanted to live a quiet life but once we saw the depth of the corruption that was happening we knew
00:28:48.000
that we had no option like what could we do they're going to destroy us for her to say that i had no right
00:28:56.080
to reveal that these children were being abused is is so profoundly offensive because as a surgeon
00:29:04.720
as a doctor i take an oath to do no harm that not only extends to my patients to the patients i
00:29:12.240
operate on to the people i see in clinic but that extends to my profession and for someone to say i
00:29:18.960
don't have a responsibility to maintain that oath in my profession is an abomination right and for
00:29:27.040
someone who doesn't understand the boundaries of her profession for her to be lecturing me on what
00:29:34.560
i should be doing in my profession is an offense of the highest order and it was once i realized these
00:29:41.600
things that i knew that i had no option right once you tell this story that corruption becomes self-evident
00:29:49.040
corruption and and that the corruption only thrives in the shadows so so we're talking to dr ethan we're
00:29:57.360

00:30:17.040

00:30:54.000
hello and welcome to the program we're glad you're here um i'm sure um this is going to cost a lot
00:31:00.800
um for for my reputation with people who don't listen to me at all because the media is going to
00:31:07.120
make it look like i'm standing up for people who you know molest children and uh i'm certainly not
00:31:14.160
uh i am standing up for redemption after 40 years um and things you know we all make horrible mistakes
00:31:23.280
and that's one of the worst ones you can make that murder uh some of the worst mistakes that you can ever
00:31:28.320
make are you ever forgiven and can you ever be reintroduced into polite society um yeah i i think you
00:31:36.160
can i just got a letter from somebody who is a dear dear friend of mine known them forever had zero
00:31:44.160
idea that they were horribly abused as a uh child uh sexually abused um because well you know it was in
00:31:54.080
the family and it was also you know anybody who had a shot because they grew up in a you know not a
00:32:00.480
wealthy family and had to go spend the afternoons at the y and um and horribly abused um and
00:32:11.520
she wrote to me and said you know i um i agree with you but when it comes to my abusers i i i wouldn't
00:32:21.920
mind i've forgiven them but i wouldn't mind something bad happening to them and i understand that um i
00:32:28.800
understand that but you know it is the forgiveness that we give to people that is the only way we get
00:32:35.520
over things if we can't forgive the people who have done things to us we just rot on the inside and
00:32:43.440
you've you've got to let it go and that's really super hard but the same thing is true with the other
00:32:50.320
side if the other side really is serious and repents and tries to make amends and everything else
00:32:55.920
um and changes their life if they dwell on it this is why i think the you know in the armor of god
00:33:05.280
um where it it calls the uh the helmet the helmet of salvation i don't and i've probably you know
00:33:15.680
scholars will tell you glenbeck doesn't know his ass from his elbow and that's true but i've always
00:33:22.640
interpreted that as reflect or deflecting all of the tricks of the mind or of satan where they're
00:33:33.040
saying yeah but you did this yeah but you did this who are you to say that because you're like this
00:33:39.600
you have to have a helmet and that helmet is salvation it is i have been forgiven of my sins
00:33:48.960
and you got to stop thinking about those things or it will destroy you and that is the key to uh the
00:33:58.400
wiles of the evil uh that we live around making you feel guilty about everything i mean we live in such
00:34:06.960
an evil society now on so many different fronts but you when your leaders are saying that you can't
00:34:14.000
be forgiven for something that you didn't even do um you need the helmet of salvation because that's
00:34:21.920
that's just a an absolute lie and i know it's hard to get uh to get over i mean just talking now about
00:34:29.680
the other side on on victims my father he was horribly abused and i've talked about this by his father and
00:34:37.600
his mother was abused by uh his father he was violent and he was also sexual um and um
00:34:49.280
my father hated his father and his father i only really really remember flashes of him before he had
00:34:57.040
strokes uh and my uncle the same he was exactly the same and um the flashes they both had strokes thank
00:35:06.240
god kind of took him out of practice but um i only have flashes of memories of them being fully there
00:35:13.680
and the flashes of my memory was one of them was with my grandfather and he was coming down the hall
00:35:20.160
and uh the only thing i remember is seeing his face and going get out of here get out of here get
00:35:28.720
um my father ran away from home when he was young and he went to the ymca he was probably i don't know
00:35:37.360
14 15 somewhere in that area and he ran away to los angeles and he was staying at the ymca
00:35:43.440
and my father was the most open-minded man on any and everything he never he was like look everybody
00:35:52.560
expresses themselves differently don't judge people etc etc but if somehow or another occasionally
00:36:01.360
something about homosexuality would come up and he would just rail on that and just was just like
00:36:10.400
a different person and even us kids we said you know younger you know when we were in our 20s
00:36:17.040
and 30s and we were talking about our dad trying to figure him out um we were like what what is the
00:36:22.480
deal with this how is that i mean it doesn't fit he's so tolerant on everything except for that lifestyle
00:36:31.440
and uh i found out he my dad finally told me before he died that he had been sexually abused by
00:36:40.000
several men at the ymca and that just changed him and uh my dad just became focused on not becoming his
00:36:51.600
father or his brother and uh just didn't want to become that but you can't do that you have to
00:37:01.760
you have to find out what you do want to become um because in his effort not to become his father or
00:37:12.160
grandfather he became my grandmother the abused um and he never saw it he never saw it and it just makes
00:37:23.200
me sad um but anyway so i understand all of these these things by the way can i change the subject i saw
00:37:30.800
something that i just don't understand and that is that the u-turn sign now that you see bigot uh on
00:37:37.600
streets that you even bring it up that's bigoted yeah just absolutely bigoted yeah yeah okay how how
00:37:45.440
how exactly is it bigoted well they're trying to make this into a a sign thing because there were a
00:37:52.000
couple of signs uh in this area in los angeles when apparently a lot of homosexuals moved into the area
00:37:58.480
and so apparently it was also used as a place to pick up a date uh in that area so they'd have uh
00:38:09.280
no no cruising yeah i mean okay together of some sort yeah yeah i don't think they're going to the
00:38:16.640
movie yeah okay a booty call so they had a couple of signs up the first sign was taken down a long time
00:38:23.440
ago and it said no cruising in this area something to that okay yeah okay so they took that down and
00:38:28.800
then you couldn't make u-turns because once you spotted the person that you wanted to get together
00:38:34.320
with they would make a u-turn and go back and see them and so that's why supposedly i guess the u-turn
00:38:40.560
sign was bigoted because it was directed against homosexuals going back and picking up their
00:38:46.240
they're in this one neighborhood in los angeles yes okay well that might be very specific to that
00:38:53.760
one neighborhood uh i i you know i saw this and i'm like what does that how is that possibly even
00:39:02.640
bigoted now i mean you want to talk about something that is so small in one individual's life that might
00:39:09.760
be real but you know you got to get over it it's like you know if you know if i if i see you know
00:39:17.520
a yield sign and i'm well i was taught that that was yield to satan and i think it's an evil evil sign
00:39:25.760
well that's not what it means dude that's not it was just you i'm gonna ignore that stop sign
00:39:30.480
because what am i what are you telling me to stop you can't you can't stop love love never stops no love
00:39:38.560
never it should never be told to stop don't ever tell me to stop loving i won't do it i'm driving
00:39:46.320
right through this thing right right now it holds nothing i see nothing there except your hatred
00:39:54.400
and a semi-truck that's about to plow into my passenger side there's that
