00:10:30.600When you send your daughter to play sports, you expect her to face competition.
00:10:35.640You know there's a possibility she's going to get hurt, and that's part of sports.
00:10:38.780But you also expect that people responsible for her safety are honest about who she's competing against.
00:10:45.320In Washington State, a high school sophomore named Kaylee Keeler says she was sexually assaulted during a wrestling tournament.
00:10:53.140Only afterward did she learn that her opponent was a biological male who identifies as a girl.
00:10:59.300Washington's policies allow male athletes to compete in girls' high school sports without requiring schools to disclose the information to the girls who are competing against them or to their parents.0.97
00:11:11.680With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, she's challenging that policy and pursuing her case at the Supreme Court.
00:11:17.540This is about the safety of your daughter and my daughter, the rights of parents, and whether schools can withhold information that families deserve to have.

00:11:41.680all right so last thursday this is becoming so commonplace i'm going to get into this here in a
00:11:47.900second but i bet you probably didn't even hear it thursday night secret service officers noticed a
00:11:53.900guy acting strangely in a parked car on constitution avenue just a couple of blocks away from the
00:11:59.820white house so they notice this guy and then somebody runs the plates the car was stolen
00:12:05.320so they go and they arrest the guy inside an ar-15 rifle a mac 10 a glock and dozens of rounds
00:12:12.980of ammunition according to dhs he told officers that the voices in his head sent him to washington0.89
00:12:19.480to kill the president oh so it's just one of our crazies no no not one of our crazies somebody0.98
00:12:24.840else is crazy his name is ronnie chernos he's from venezuela he crossed into texas illegally0.99
00:12:34.200in march of 2024 border patrol had arrested him and then we let him go because that's what we do
00:12:39.740we had him we had him in custody at the border you know before he ever set foot in our country
00:12:44.820or in a town but we just opened the door and said ah you know it get back to us have a good time oh
00:12:49.340here's an address i guess where you can go buy a gun two and a half years later he's parked on
00:12:54.140constitution avenue with a rifle and the intent to kill the president then yesterday a car jumped
00:13:00.780the curb at lafayette park right across from the white house engine was smoking the drivers fought
00:13:06.580with officers and were arrested about the same time somebody else a third incident jumped the
00:13:12.880barricade at the other corner of the park also arrested reporters were hustled into the briefing
00:13:20.620room we don't know who these people are yet or why they did it i'm not going to guess on the air and
00:13:27.020I'm not going to guess why we don't know yet, but you could probably, you have a copy of that
00:13:32.060board game at your house. You play it. After Thursday, the director of the Secret Service
00:13:36.660said, we are quote, alarmed by the increase in the threat cases. Now, Secret Service, I have found
00:13:43.440not really a dramatic, they're not drama queens there. You know, they're not like, oh my gosh,
00:13:47.980we were all freaked out. When they use the word alarmed, believe me, that should alarm you.
00:13:54.620When I read Thursday's story, my first reaction, it's horrible, but here's my first reaction.
00:14:24.620look at the people who have pulled a gun and pulled the trigger on an American president in
00:14:29.260the past. First man ever to try was 1835. He was born in England, but almost everybody was born
00:14:34.280in England back then. He aims two pistols at Andrew Jackson, both misfired. Jackson, 67 years old,
00:14:42.040went after him with his cane. Don't mess with Andrew Jackson. Then 1901, William McKinley,
00:14:47.700killed by an anarchist. An anarchist. 1912, the man who shot Teddy Roosevelt was born in Bavaria.
00:14:57.080An alien. 1933, the man who opened fire on Franklin Roosevelt in Miami was an Italian0.83
00:15:03.520who said he hated all of the president and all capitalists. He was a Marxist socialist.
00:15:09.400He missed Roosevelt and killed the mayor of Chicago, by the way. 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald,
00:15:15.180a Marxist who had defected to the Soviet Union and came back. 1968, Robert Kennedy,
00:15:22.400shot by Sirhan Sirhan. Who was he? He was a Palestinian born in Jerusalem. He pulled the
00:15:28.440trigger on the first anniversary of the Six-Day War because Kennedy stood with Israel. Okay.0.66
00:15:36.140Do you see a pattern here? Anarchists, Palestinians, communists, Marxists, illegals.0.86
00:15:44.080By the way, that's not the whole list. And I know that John Wilkes Booth was as American in his apple pie as they come. So was the crazy guy who shot Reagan and the two who went after Trump in 2024. But they were extremists because they had Trump derangement syndrome. So they were crazy.
00:16:03.960evil has no passport and i want you to know that but nearly half of the people who have tried to0.95
00:16:11.020kill our presidents come from somewhere else or came from an ideology that despises everything
00:16:17.540that this country is and we are printing those people several of them like the man on0.97
00:16:25.140constitution avenue we're hearing things that nobody else could hear you know i'm saying
00:16:30.320and a broken mind is dangerous anywhere.
00:16:35.940The question is why any country would wave someone through
00:25:17.420But you must have been so frustrated when the Supreme Court would not hear your case.
00:25:23.540Explain what happened to your child and the court case in just a couple of minutes, if you can.
00:25:30.120Yeah, so five and a half years ago, my daughter was lured into a secret gender and sexuality club disguised as an art club, 12 years old, very innocent 12, and convinced she was born in the wrong body.
00:25:44.540There was a group called Splash, an activist organization that taught her concepts like polyamory, how to access puberty blockers, and keeping secrets from parents.
00:25:55.300She was taught to keep this all a secret from us.
00:25:58.400And we're lucky she came home and told us what happened.
00:26:01.000But, Glenn, it took almost a year to get her out of that cult-like mentality, that she had been born wrong, that she could not trust us,
00:26:08.100that these were trusted adults that she should be listening to on concepts like sexuality and
00:26:15.040gender identity. And it was a long, hard year. And we learned that there were other kids in that
00:26:21.120class who had also been secretly transitioned. When we took this to the Supreme Court, it was
00:26:26.200multiple families that were on the case with us, except those little girls kept the secret for an
00:26:31.420entire year until we went public with our story. I think one of them actually heard me on the Glenn
00:26:36.000Beck program and connected the dots that their little girl had been secretly transitioned over
00:26:41.920a year ago in that secret club. And so, as you said, we filed a federal lawsuit, Pam Bondi led
00:26:48.260the case, and it ultimately was the only case of its kind to get a statement from the Supreme Court.
00:26:53.940Justice Alito called it troubling and tragic and an issue of great and growing national importance.
00:26:59.500so that was my first big instance of failing to win where someone had to go first someone had to
00:27:06.520get that statement from the justices to push the other cases to be heard and so you you fail and
00:27:13.760um and a lot of people would be like okay well i've done my tour of duty and i don't want to
00:27:18.760keep doing that you instead went okay can't win in the courts i'm gonna win how yeah well the0.73
00:27:26.300ultimate win was saving my daughter from the transgender cult. To be clear that no matter0.99
00:27:31.760what else happened after that, we win. And we're rare in that, that so many families have been
00:27:37.940affected by this. And we're one of the few who got our child out of the dark cloud and can be so
00:27:43.440vocal about it with her permission. But I co-founded Protect Kids Colorado. And we, as you
00:27:50.620probably know, Colorado is now a deep blue state. We have now gone more left than California.
00:27:56.300This last election, we now have a super majority in our House and Senate.
00:28:00.700Every executive office is held by Democrats.
00:28:03.920They hold veto power over the governor, although the governor is openly DSA.
00:28:09.260I mean, we're we're in rough shape in Colorado.
00:28:12.740And we moved 20 points to the left in every single county this election.
00:28:18.260But God, we also have 20 points to the left.1.00
00:28:24.380Lauren Boebert is about to lose her seat. Three out of four of our incumbent Republican Congress1.00
00:28:31.160people are about to lose their seats. One is for certain. So we're in bad shape in Colorado.
00:28:38.800So that's the atmosphere you walk into, but you put ballot initiatives onto the ballot
00:28:46.440that won. Yeah. How? What were the ballot initiatives and how did that happen?
00:28:52.940It was such a mighty move of the people. We have three ballot measures that have now officially
00:28:59.620passed. Prop 133 is the Children Are Not For Sale Act. That sets a penalty of life in prison without
00:29:05.380parole if you buy or sell a minor child for sex. And that passed was 62%. So the widest margin of
00:29:12.540any measure on the ballot, and there were 20 of them. Proposition 134, the Protect Women and Girls
00:29:18.100Sports Act. It designates athletic leagues, male, female, or co-ed. And then Proposition 135 is the
00:29:24.060Stop Irreversible Sex Change Surgeries on Minor Kids Act. It's a mouthful. Sad that it's necessary.
00:29:32.060But we built a huge, broad coalition of people, and we did it differently. When you see amendments
00:29:38.220on your ballot, typically someone has paid millions of dollars to gather the signatures
00:29:43.320or special interest groups involved, we just frankly didn't have that. We didn't have the
00:29:48.320establishment support. We didn't have millionaire funders. Our biggest funder was a middle-class
00:29:53.280family that cashed out retirement for our ability to print the petitions. And we raised an army of
00:30:29.140And pushing gender ideology on kids is a losing stance.
00:30:33.280People who voted for that governor, who voted for Democrat down the ticket, broke ranks on these issues and sided with us and voted yes in what I would argue is the deepest blue state now of all 50 states.
00:30:47.860it is it's it's truly remarkable because you would not think this was possible and you also
00:30:57.900wouldn't think this has been been labeled a conservative talking point a conservative you
00:31:05.540know uh hot topic that everybody else doesn't care about it and you've shown that that is
00:31:11.400not true um and you had all of these people i imagine a lot of conservatives came out to vote
00:31:17.080And yet the state went 20 points to the left.
00:31:32.520You know, it was such a David versus Goliath effort from the get go.
00:31:37.220Certainly a majority of the people who carried our petitions were conservative, but people
00:31:43.000were just excited to sign these no matter what.1.00
00:31:45.800You know, we had the LGBTs, we had atheists, we had so many people who went, our state has gone too far. And really, Colorado was a litmus test for how ridiculous they can pass legislation, how insane the wording in our legislation can be.0.96
00:32:02.780We have over 20 laws that mandate gender ideology. I have a list on my website, protectkidscolorado.org, where they've gone so far, Glenn, as to criminalize recording the biological sex accurately on the death certificate.
00:32:15.800That's how out of hand gender ideology has gotten in Colorado. I say all the time it's our state mandated religion. You know, jack the cake bigger. We just keep finding ourselves at the Supreme Court over compelled speech relating to gender ideology. And I think Coloradans have just had enough.
00:32:34.460And these aren't theoretical issues. You know, I've been pushed. People have said they're going to overturn these and our legislature can. These are statutory measures because they've done it in the past with oil and gas and tax measures. But these aren't theoretical. These involve our kids. This involves our families. There are so many people who've been affected. They'd be hard pressed to overturn the will of the people this time.
00:32:57.440I will tell you, if you hadn't had, you know, pass it with 60 plus percent in a state that moved 20 points to the left, you could make an argument that this is a left right issue and the Democrats could go.
00:33:15.900But I have to tell you, if they go after these things with that kind of support from all walks of life, they're going to they're going to end up being like the Republicans just found themselves, you know, last Tuesday in real trouble.
00:33:32.340We really broke the machine with this initiative. And I can't stress enough that we just did it differently. I think the reason it had such overwhelming support is because we had thousands of volunteers in all 64 counties having conversations in their sphere of influence. We were fundamentally shifting culture at the same time that we were pushing policy.
00:33:56.560How did you do that? What was the message to the left that reached them?
00:34:06.320It really is just common sense. You know, these issues are not right to the left.
00:34:13.860And it was getting people involved who could speak in their own communities. Again, we had
00:34:18.940such a broad coalition. We worked with Gays Against Groomers. We also had really one of1.00
00:34:24.500the major components here was the churches. We had the Catholic diocese put out a mandate. All
00:34:29.800four Colorado bishops said, you will have signing opportunities. You will go out and vote on these
00:34:35.980initiatives. We had the largest church in Colorado, Flatirons Church, say yes to having petition
00:34:41.520signing. And we gathered 30,000 signatures just in that church alone out of our half million.
00:34:47.220And when that pastor went first, the dominoes fell. And we found ourselves with over a thousand
00:34:52.120churches engaging. And I think a lot of people who turned out to vote were the Catholics who
00:34:57.840otherwise vote Democrat, but voted yes on these. It was the apathetic voters who don't turn out0.85
00:35:04.060for midterms, but showed up for these three initiatives, even if they left the rest of the
00:35:09.260ballot blank. And it was the people who are not conservative Christians who were talking to their
00:35:15.620sphere of influences, who were influencing friends and neighbors and ball teams and standing out
00:35:22.100at the grocery stores, and just really proving that this transcends political party and the
00:35:28.520faith spectrum, that more people agree on this than you think. Really, it's a Courage is Contagious
00:35:34.460demonstration where people were willing to use these petitions as a means to have conversations.
00:35:40.960It gave people a way to start the conversation, and it gave others a way to have courage to
00:35:47.080follow suit and to then talk to their neighbors. And it's never been done before, the way we did
00:35:53.680this with no funding. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I was just gonna say, you'll find this
00:36:00.360interesting. We were outfunded nearly 20 to one. And when our brilliant researcher traced the
00:36:06.380funding, it was Soros, Buffett, Democracy Alliance, Tim Gill, they raised $5.1 million.
00:36:12.580we only had a couple hundred thousand and most of that went to printing costs so we we really did
00:36:19.500the impossible here so what advice would you get because this this i hear this from listeners every
00:36:25.980single day i hear this from either a listener or someone i'm out someplace and people will say you
00:36:32.020know what i don't care anymore i just i've given up it's nothing's going to change what do you say
00:36:36.820to those people because at some point you had to have felt tired like we're just getting beat up
00:36:45.840beat up beat up beat up what do you say to people who say one person can't make a difference well
00:36:52.440you know firstly we the people can just do things we've proven that here in Colorado also their
00:36:59.260strength in numbers you know we this only was accomplished because so many people said yes
00:37:05.800and a lot of that had to do with me not giving up getting knocked down getting back up and saying
00:37:11.840okay we're going to keep going you have to fail to win we ran measures in 2024 we failed but we
00:37:18.560started the process of building the team two years ago the very next day after we didn't make the
00:37:23.360ballot in august of 2024 we held a meeting and said okay let's pull ourselves up by our bootstraps
00:37:29.260let's start assembling the team now let's be ready in two years with a lot of preparation
00:37:34.700but we've really proved that when we all just do our part,
