00:03:18.620 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program well i don't know if you heard justice

00:03:34.960 jackson uh yesterday but was she she's in tune with our system of government um here she is yesterday

00:03:46.240 where free speech is on trial the government is making the claim that their free speech is being

00:03:55.180 limited because they want to uh tell social media what to do and their first amendment rights are being

00:04:06.420 trampled on just so you know the government doesn't have first amendment rights the first amendment

00:04:14.380 right goes to the people and it says that the government can't tell you what you can say and

00:04:22.440 what you can't say here is justice uh brown uh jackson yesterday justice jackson so my biggest concern is

00:04:31.800 that your view has the first amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most

00:04:38.940 important important time periods um i mean what would what would you have the government do i've

00:04:44.860 heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech but in my hypothetical

00:04:50.060 um you know kids this is not safe don't do it um is not going to get it done and so i guess

00:04:58.200 some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this

00:05:05.960 country and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government

00:05:11.320 encouraging or even pressuring uh platforms to take down harmful information so can you help me

00:05:19.280 because i'm really i'm really worried about that um because you've got the first amendment operating

00:05:24.760 sure in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective and you're saying

00:05:31.340 that the government can't interact okay with the source of those problems i'd love to help you with

00:05:39.080 that i'd love to help you with that let me let me help you um and i appreciate your you're asking

00:05:45.140 for help um don't usually experience that you know cry for help on understanding any of the amendments

00:05:55.520 let alone the first one from a supreme court justice but i appreciate your willingness to uh say

00:06:00.940 i really don't have a clue as to what i'm doing here um see we have a bill of rights that was

00:06:08.580 built our country is built unlike any other country in the world and our bill of rights came from a

00:06:17.680 uh a founding era where they had been really living under the thumb of a tyrant and so they knew

00:06:25.820 no tyranny firsthand and it made them very very skittish about governments and what they could do

00:06:31.820 because when governments speak that's one thing the government can speak and say hey this is bad you

00:06:38.640 shouldn't do this um but when governments coerce people especially businesses well they've got an awful

00:06:47.340 lot of power and that can turn into tyranny quickly now the the bill of rights was written uh and

00:06:56.260 especially the first amendment was was written for those bad times you know you i know you're worried

00:07:03.660 about well i mean freedom of speech is great unless things are you know troubled well okay but that's why

00:07:13.340 why they wrote this down our uh documents are a negative charter of liberties so it means that the

00:07:22.460 bill of rights apply to the citizens but not to the governments the government cannot do anything to

00:07:30.760 violate these rights and if you know it changes when there's trouble or when the government feels there's

00:07:39.060 trouble well then you don't really have the right do you and you really don't have any shackles

00:07:47.940 on the presidency the administration or the government what you have actually is another constitution

00:07:56.180 written in 1936 it was really great uh it because of the way i mean it was way advanced um all voting

00:08:04.500 restrictions were taken off universal direct suffrage the right to work the right guaranteed by the by the

00:08:11.940 previous constitution in addition in 1936 and by the way i'm not talking about germany okay 1936 the

00:08:20.340 constitution recognized the collective and social economic rights including the right to work the

00:08:26.100 right to rest the right to leisure the health protection care in old age and in sickness and

00:08:32.340 the right to housing and education and cultural benefits it was really a cutting-edge constitution

00:08:39.700 because everybody wants that stuff right you have a universal right to it and all of the government

00:08:47.140 bodies had to help provide those things because you the citizen have a right and they went right direct

00:08:55.300 election of all government bodies and uh they really reorganized in 36 and they they just they they

00:09:03.860 streamlined the government you know so there wasn't a lot of red tape so article 122 in the um

00:09:12.260 in the constitution said that women are accorded equal rights with men now this is 1936 think about how

00:09:19.940 advanced this is women have equal rights with men in all spheres of economic state cultural social and

00:09:28.180 political life in fact they were really the first one to make sure that there was you know kindergartens

00:09:35.700 and a universal right to kindergarten and maternity leave and pre-maternity and protection of the mom and

00:09:44.180 her interest it was really really really good in article 122 and 123 that was the equal rights for

00:09:52.500 all citizens uh it was it was equity for everybody irrespective of their nationality or their race

00:10:00.980 in all spheres of life and uh and they wanted to make sure that there was racial inclusiveness

00:10:08.420 uh and no hatred or contempt or restrictions of rights and privileges on account of nationality or race

00:10:16.660 and uh if you did any of these hate crimes it was punishable by law so this is now the the soviet

00:10:24.500 constitution um of 1936 and it was the longest running constitution of the soviet union and it was great

00:10:32.740 article 124 guaranteed freedom of religion including the separation of church and state and school from

00:10:41.220 church uh and 124 it ensured all citizens the freedom of conscience freedom of religious worship

00:10:49.700 and freedom of any anti-religious propaganda recognized for all citizens which was nice and in 124

00:10:57.780 stalin in the face of real stiff opposition there eventually said you know what maybe we should

00:11:05.060 talk to the russian orthodox church maybe we should allow them you know to exist and he did uh kind of

00:11:13.860 but uh it was all within the constitution because see this constitution is a is a constitution of positive

00:11:22.100 liberties unlike ours negative liberties telling the government what it cannot do theirs is a positive

00:11:28.820 liberty all the things the government must do and article 125 remember this is 1936 uh article 125 of

00:11:37.700 the constitution guaranteed freedom of speech in the press and freedom of assembly then they you know

00:11:44.980 they said you know look the the the communist party really needs to come together and we can have diversity

00:11:52.180 in the communist party but it's only one party in the free elections so you could you could you could do

00:11:59.380 that now this constitution was written in 1936 um and it was thoroughly democratic thoroughly democratic um

00:12:11.860 i mean yeah once the writers of the constitution and and the organizers uh you know finished it they were

00:12:19.940 imprisoned and or executed right after uh because they were counter-revolutionaries and you know you

00:12:25.700 got to get rid of those people there were some people that were just too radical uh and they were the

00:12:30.660 writers of the constitution but you know that's an old dusty document you know sure it was written last week

00:12:36.580 but they didn't foresee everything so um uh they started the great uh the uh the great terror uh is what

00:12:46.900 it's called i don't know what happened during the great terror but it coincided with the signing of the new

00:12:53.540 constitution in the so but everybody was protected you could say whatever you want uh you know you could

00:12:59.380 look at the great terror or the subcategory of the great purge uh and say hey you know what there's

00:13:07.940 they're stepping on those rights there of those people but they're people that the state really

00:13:13.140 doesn't you know the state really needs some authority to be sure you have a right to speak um

00:13:20.980 you know you have the enjoyment of rights and freedoms of citizens

00:13:24.500 citizens but i'm just quoting the constitution not to the detriment of the interests of society or the

00:13:31.860 state so if you saw something you know like kajundi whatever name jackson brown jackson whatever her name

00:13:42.660 is i love her and she is right when the state has an interest because the state knows best then we have to

00:13:53.860 you know restrain people from saying things so let me just let me just quote article 39

00:14:02.100 enjoyment of the rights and freedoms of citizens must not be to the detriment of the interests of

00:14:07.780 society or the state amen that's what she's saying i mean they've been saying this since 1936 in the

00:14:15.700 soviet union article 59 obliged citizens to obey all the laws and comply with the standards of the

00:14:22.660 socialist society as determined by the party so if the party said you know let's just say

00:14:32.820 we can mutilate your children you can speak out about that uh i mean you're gonna have to go to jail 0.78

00:14:40.340 for it because it'll be a hate crime in fact hate crimes were even mentioned specifically in that night

00:14:49.220 they were so far ahead they were just they were just way way way way way way way way ahead um

00:14:58.020 because they were already on those hate crimes you know you don't have a you don't have a right to

00:15:03.540 say you know you for instance here it is quote uh the constitution prohibits incitement of hatred

00:15:13.940 or hostility or hostility on any religious ground so you couldn't just you know say to the bible the bible

00:15:21.540 says this if it incited hatred so and the constitution you know gave you you have a freedom of conscience

00:15:32.740 you can do that you can profess or not profess any religion uh and um and you can conduct religious worship

00:15:41.860 or atheistic propaganda as long and i'm quoting as long as it's in the interest of the state

00:15:50.740 you see because they know better they know better so katanji i just i'm trying to help you because you

00:15:59.220 asked for help yesterday um which i find just so refreshing that a talk show host that's a

00:16:08.980 a recovering alcoholic and former dj who is just completely self-educated

00:16:17.140 you know knows this stuff better than a supreme court justice

00:16:27.140 but i think that's great that you you know you're humble enough to say i don't know my ass from my elbow 0.66

00:16:32.980 um i think that's great i really i really do i really do so let's just remember

00:16:41.940 the government you know we have inalienable rights what do that what does that mean i don't know

00:16:47.300 something about aliens from space maybe katanji no means no man can change those rights alter those

00:16:55.060 rights or take away that's what inalienable means um and in the soviet union they didn't have that

00:17:02.180 okay they didn't have inalienable rights you as a citizen can and i'm quoting enjoy rights when

00:17:09.380 the exercise of these rights do not interfere with the interest of the state and the communist party

00:17:16.260 of the soviet union they alone have the power and authority to determine policies for the government

00:17:23.380 and society what a utopia that is man if we could just if we could just model our constitution on

00:17:34.180 something as open-minded as this we'd certainly be fixed kind of in the way my dog was fixed but we'd

00:17:44.100 be fixed all right let me tell you about uh jace medical i i want you to do me a favor do yourself a

00:19:00.580 now back to the podcast this is the best of the glenbeck program this is the glenbeck program

00:19:08.980 yesterday i witnessed something i didn't think i would ever witness in america a supreme court justice

00:19:18.740 trying to i guess make the case that the government can override the first amendment you know i mean if

00:19:29.300 it's a situation where kids are jumping out windows um wow i i've never heard that before

00:19:36.580 but there was a case that was heard yesterday murphy versus missouri originally filed as missouri

00:19:43.380 versus biden and it concerns whether the federal government officials had violated the first amendment

00:19:49.300 by coercing or significantly encouraging social media companies to remove or demote particular content

00:19:57.860 from their platforms this is on various topics but really covet 19 was the the big one uh and

00:20:08.660 we have the guy who filed the original suit when he was uh ag of missouri he's now the senator from

00:20:16.580 missouri eric schmidt in washington hello eric how are you how are you uh what did you think about

00:20:25.460 what happened yesterday how do you think it went um well i think it's always difficult to gauge based

00:20:32.820 on the questions asked by the justices i think that's a it's a it's a fair question and again and

00:20:38.420 a question that's often asked it's just it's difficult to to really gauge where individual

00:20:43.140 justices are at based on some of the questions because most of what they'll be considering as they move

00:20:49.460 towards the decision probably sometime in june is there are the briefs and the record that had been submitted

00:20:55.940 so sometimes those questions are meant to sort of fill in some gaps uh the question you're referring to

00:21:00.580 i think was um was you know is isn't the first amendment a hindrance to the government in this instance

00:21:08.260 or in the hypothetical and of course it is it's it that is like that's the point is that the first amendment is actually

00:21:14.100 was was it is was put there by our founders because they knew exactly what the government might want

00:21:21.300 to do and if the idea was protecting individual liberty and your ability to speak your mind and be

00:21:28.100 a dissenter uh that ought to be a hindrance to the government so anyway but so that that question was

00:21:34.020 somewhat revealing but i still feel good about it here's the the best news of all of this glenn is

00:21:38.820 is early on in the litigation when we filed the case in may of 2022 we were able to get discovery

00:21:46.420 before the preliminary injunction hearing which we won which was essentially affirmed by the fifth

00:21:51.460 circuit court of appeals and now is in front of the court why is that important because the record is

00:21:56.340 filled now with emails and text messages about how the federal government we should be partners with

00:22:02.260 facebook and they want answers exclamation point they had regular meetings they had censorship

00:22:07.140 meetings they had constant pestering they suggested new rules tell us what you're going to do literally

00:22:13.700 20 plus thousand pages of this kind of evidence of how the government was coercing these social media

00:22:20.980 companies uh to do their will and i think that hopefully will carry the day so the the problem here is is that

00:22:29.860 coercion you don't have a partnership with the government um you might think you do but in the end the

00:22:36.420 government wins because the government can do all kinds of things to you and you have nobody run to

00:22:41.460 for help um and the government cannot be the final arbiter of truth it cannot be um our founders were

00:22:51.700 really clear on this and then again later they hashed it out because of the sedition act and you know they

00:23:00.260 made it very very clear that if the government is the one that decides what the truth is and is the

00:23:09.940 final arbiter of truth truth will be lost and i think if the if the government hadn't been intended

00:23:18.100 taken on the role of being the arbiter of truth and silencing people about the vaccines or whatever

00:23:24.660 they just would have let it go science i don't think would have been discredited the way it was

00:23:30.500 i don't think the vaccine you know anti-vaccine movement would have grown as much as it has they

00:23:37.700 caused the problems by trying to shut people down people don't like that that's right and and i think

00:23:44.420 that you know people often say power corrupts probably more appropriately uh describe power reveals

00:23:51.780 and you had a situation during covid where uh it was a emergency or perceived emergency and people

00:24:00.500 used it to aggregate accumulate and exercise power in ways that i don't think many of us really believed

00:24:07.780 could happen in the united states of america i think it's important to put us back in that time

00:24:11.460 and regardless of how the government feels about what you should be doing to your point individuals get

00:24:18.340 to make these decisions that and that is what is was so dangerous about what was happening was you had

00:24:23.940 the this wasn't just a one-off from some actor or two this was a leviathan of government agencies

00:24:30.100 working in concert to quell dissent to shut down dissent whether it's on the lab leak theory the

00:24:36.420 hunter biden laptop story origins of covid the efficacy of masks all of that the full force of the

00:24:42.900 government was at play to silence people and if we believe in this country which we do i do you do

00:24:49.300 that fundamental human expression is a right given to us by god and government's role is really there

00:24:54.020 to protect that right to secure those rights certainly not to infringe so let me play that's

00:24:59.140 why this case is so important let me let me play devil's advocate yes but we're at war there is a let

00:25:06.740 me use a real one that i know they have already um war gamed and i think is the international uh bank

00:25:14.900 or the world bank has come out with their recommendations if currencies begin to collapse

00:25:20.980 if the world starts to go into a real slide that people who disagree with the actions of the central banks

00:25:29.700 of the world must be silenced because even if they're right they will harm all of the safety

00:25:38.340 uh mechanisms that the governments are trying to put into place so they'll do more harm uh even if

00:25:45.380 they're right that's that's their point of view yeah and so that's gonna happen and and the government

00:25:52.980 will will use any event to silence people and a lot of people like they did in covet will say

00:26:00.260 well we have to protect everything how do you answer that yeah well you sort of heard yesterday

00:26:06.820 this similar vein when it was referred to by the government's lawyer as a once in a lifetime event

00:26:12.820 okay first of all your point this is a playbook in many ways because what you'll have now we're already

00:26:20.820 hearing the language change on climate issues it went from you know global cooling to global warming

00:26:26.420 to climate change now it's a climate emergency right so the language has shifted even on that particular

00:26:32.580 issue and the example that you give the constitution what's important remember is the constitution

00:26:37.300 doesn't have a pandemic exception it doesn't have a world bank emergency exception the constitution

00:26:43.940 was created really for those most difficult times when government actors really really want to

00:26:50.420 do something and they really really think they're right the point is that we get to make those

00:26:55.060 decisions it's it's like what the vaccine mandate i actually had the case the ocean you know those

00:26:59.540 cases that went to the supreme court on the vaccine mandate and we wanted the supreme court

00:27:03.060 and my contention all along was on whether it was the vaccine or masks give everybody the information

00:27:08.180 and let them make their own decisions but you saw the left really gravitate towards no no we don't really

00:27:14.820 care about reasonable debate we don't care about anything that just you know take the shot put the

00:27:19.460 damn mask on that was their point of view that's not going to change right when we have the next thing

00:27:25.060 and so that's this why this case is so important because if the government actually thinks that they can

00:27:31.140 pressure social media companies do their bidding they don't get to get around the first amendment by

00:27:35.300 contracting that out to private parties and glenn one last point on this the reason why the coercion piece

00:27:41.220 is so fits here in particular is these companies live and die by their section um 230 protections

00:27:48.900 they're they're immune from lawsuits so if you don't think that was being wielded here as a threat or

00:27:55.060 antitrust investigations or all those sorts of things that the government we've seen this administration

00:27:59.780 do to catholics or to who pick pick the opponent they who am ever organized and weaponized government

00:28:06.900 that was always at play here and so i think that whether it's you know the the um you know it's

00:28:12.980 that standard or it's the you know sort of the the cooperative stand whatever you want to use the government

00:28:17.940 was very intent here on silencing speech and they don't get to do it in around the constitution by

00:28:23.220 by outsourcing that to big tech and they also endorsed speech during the same period by saying you can't protest

00:28:32.900 outside about covid you can protest for blm uh and so they were endorsing speech as well and setting a

00:28:42.980 precedence there um that that's the problem with the with the government having the lever of what speech

00:28:50.660 is approved and what isn't you don't have a real free democracy or in our case a republic

00:28:57.620 um if they can can do that and everyone knows if you're thinking about going and uh you know praying

00:29:07.940 at a abortion clinic you now know the government has been weaponized against you if you're going to go

00:29:15.540 into a store and you're going to just go steal all the makeup from a makeup counter you know you have

00:29:21.540 a better chance of getting away with it because the government has laid off that kind of stuff

00:29:27.300 so they're they're directing our society just by leaning one way or another and if you don't

00:29:34.820 think that the i mean you cannot have i've never had calls from the fcc i've done this job for almost

00:29:41.940 50 years i've never had a call from the fcc i know when our license is up for renewal and everybody at the

00:29:49.060 radio station would get nervous about hey what did you say because we don't want any trouble we don't

00:29:53.780 want any letters going to the fcc they know the power of that but they the fcc at least in my case

00:30:00.820 has never exercised itself like that they've tried they've attempted but it never stood these guys

00:30:09.220 were calling these social media companies daily and saying you know you got a nice company there

00:30:16.660 i'd hate to have something happen to it that's the mob yep no that's right and i think what what

00:30:23.620 is it's interesting you brought up the whole the protests uh in the summer of of um you know you

00:30:30.340 saw that in 2020 and then covid um and then really when biden came in in 2021 he did all the things

00:30:37.940 he said he wasn't he said he wasn't going to be a mandate um you know all these sorts of things

00:30:42.900 uh that came in i think it just it like i said it just revealed and i think that the the modern

00:30:48.660 democrat party which the energy and the money and everything is now squarely in on on the left here

00:30:55.220 you look at what's happened with the border these are these are not things that that certainly even

00:31:00.660 barack obama terrible of a president he was wasn't really advocating for an open borders policy that's

00:31:05.780 where we're at now liberals i'm 48 i remember when liberals actually cared about free speech

00:31:10.900 not anymore and so we've gotten to a place now where they have crossed the rubicon in in in really

00:31:16.180 it's not about process or principles it is about results and power and control and i think

00:31:21.300 that more people wake up to that you'll realize how important it is to stand up and say no you

00:31:27.300 know i dissent i object i'm the guy in the the norman rockwell you know classic uh portrait where

00:31:33.700 he stands up and you know and that's what we need more of in this country and um and so that always

00:31:38.500 motivated me certainly didn't the filing of this lawsuit i only have 30 seconds for an answer here but

00:31:44.740 is is this the closed door hopefully on any of the government you know speech control efforts you

00:31:53.540 know the nina jankiewicz stuff yeah i mean that certainly the disinformation governance board i

00:32:00.100 think but their their mistake there was they were probably pretty too open about it what we have to

00:32:04.020 be on guard is yes we're loosely tied uh and it's not named something like the ministry of truth right

00:32:10.100 so i think we have to be on guard right they're still not acting in concert yeah okay all right

00:32:15.700 thank you so much this uh senator um eric schmidt from the great state of missouri who filed the original

00:32:22.500 uh lawsuit as ag in missouri against the uh against the government and the government responded by saying

00:32:30.500 they're violating my first amendment rights at the white house you don't have them

00:32:35.220 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:32:43.220 tamara pitsky is uh with us now tamara how are you fine thank you so much for having me

00:32:51.060 sure so can i ask you you're from i'm from seattle but i i moved away long before the madness set in

00:32:57.860 yeah um the uh uh you went to the university of washington i'm i'm guessing we don't necessarily

00:33:05.540 agree on a lot of policy things you seem like a really nice person who has just seen some injustice

00:33:14.100 here and i guess kind of reluctantly stood up yeah i mean um i've not considered myself political in

00:33:23.780 any sense and somehow i just kind of ended up in this position you know um and it's been incredibly

00:33:30.500 difficult i just can't believe how so it but but what you stood up for it's it's not political is it

00:33:39.700 well i didn't think so but i'm learning it in a lot of people's minds that it is

00:33:43.620 you know i thought i was just trying to protect kids and now i'm realizing that people

00:33:46.820 are so quick to say you know things about me that are political or that i'm transphobic or something

00:33:54.740 yeah yeah um so so tell me what happened at multi-care sure so there was a mandated

00:34:02.820 gender-affirming care training in september and when i found that out i started doing some research

00:34:08.500 i was like i don't know that i feel this i think this might not be you know this is bad news and so i

00:34:12.820 started doing some research went to the meeting asked some questions like hey why are we mandating

00:34:18.180 this of our clinicians if countries in europe are pulling back and saying you know what i don't

00:34:21.780 think that is the right way to handle gender distressed youth um and they were horrible to

00:34:29.460 me they said leave politics out of this which is the first time i thought i was like what does that

00:34:32.580 even mean like i had no idea that people thought this was a political issue um people said i was doing

00:34:37.620 informed clients that i was transphobic um i started after that meeting i talked with my boss

00:34:43.780 the leader of the meeting um and just tried to like air my concerns with them and see if maybe

00:34:50.020 somebody would listen to me at no point did anyone ever say okay yeah let me see that article that

00:34:54.900 you're reading let me look at that for you so that we can have a conversation they were just like

00:34:58.340 completely shut me down um and then when i presented specific client issues um i was reported

00:35:06.980 to risk management and i thought okay finally risk management and i can have a conversation we can look

00:35:11.860 through these clients charts figure out like no this is not it's not good for this child to start

00:35:16.180 testosterone they've got so much else going on um and rather than have that conversation they

00:35:21.460 decided that i was the risk not not the testosterone that i was the risk and that i they took my client

00:35:26.820 for me so this had to seem like a movie that you were trapped in it was crazy making like i was like

00:35:36.020 am i am i losing my mind yeah yeah yeah um so what were the things that you were pointing out i mean

00:35:45.860 europe is usually ahead of us medically and much more um i don't mean this in a uh in a political way but

00:35:53.380 much more progressive or or liberal on on medicines and uh them pulling out has especially when we're

00:36:03.700 talking about sweden and you know norway when those countries start to pull out of something

00:36:09.860 they're usually so progressive that it should make a huge statement it that didn't play a role in

00:36:17.540 they didn't even talk about it with you no they didn't even address it at all and so that's how

00:36:22.740 when i started to realize like okay we aren't actually protecting the kids here we're protecting

00:36:26.580 an ideology like i'm trying to advocate for the kids and the other side here is like no i won't hear

00:36:32.340 any of that we're just gonna go full steam ahead with this like ideology that we're holding holding to

00:36:37.380 so rigidly you know um i'm not an expert in all the different areas of um this field of study but i know

00:36:45.460 enough to know that 80 percent of gender distressed youth typically outgrow it by the time they're

00:36:50.100 adults but rather than letting them like progress through that and just kind of figure out who they

00:36:55.460 are as any adolescent does we're medicalizing them if they come in at 13 and say i want to be a man

00:37:03.220 then we're like okay sounds great like there's no there's nothing that we do to like determine are

00:37:09.300 you going to be of that 20 who's going to persist in this as an adult we don't have any way to

00:37:13.940 determine that and so we're just letting these young people diagnose themselves and decide their

00:37:19.780 own medical treatment and they just don't have the mental capacity to consent to that at 13 or even 20.

00:37:26.740 what does this what does this lead to when when science becomes politicized and there's no longer

00:37:36.340 reason reason um you know because you know you can disagree with with science but when it becomes

00:37:46.020 the science when it becomes the authority um and nothing can nothing can change its mind it's no longer

00:37:55.060 science is it i don't think so i think people are just um like i said they're defending an ideology at this

00:38:03.300 point and when i try to present studies and other um you know evidence to people like they just don't

00:38:09.220 hear it they don't hear it at all so um yeah i don't know it's just so the other the other people

00:38:16.660 of other people in your profession do they just not see it are they not as brave as you to come up and

00:38:24.900 step forward what's happened to the profession i really think that it's like a cult mentality for

00:38:32.900 a lot of people they think that they're doing good i don't think everybody thinks that i think

00:38:37.060 the higher up you go the more people are aware that this is a corrupted situation that we're in

00:38:42.180 but i think a lot of my colleagues really think they're doing good and so then they're quick to

00:38:45.780 villainize me like in that meeting there was 122 people and after that meeting four of them reached

00:38:52.020 out to me and said thank you for saying something i'm too scared to but everyone else as far as i know

00:38:58.580 had just kind of like decided that i was the enemy you know

00:39:04.740 so you then went to work someplace else and you were let go after two or three weeks

00:39:10.980 yep just mysteriously they're like we don't think you're a good fit for this position and

00:39:15.220 so now i'm a single mom of three trying to live off of a go fund me or a give send go

00:39:20.660 and can't get a job the state's coming after my license like it's just been craziness

00:39:27.540 the state's coming after your license as well

00:39:30.900 yeah i found out on friday they said because i wasn't being gender affirming so i didn't refer

00:39:35.860 to the clients in the article by their chosen pronoun and suggested that gender dysphoria is a mental

00:39:43.300 illness have you thought about moving oh yes i've thought about moving if i could scoop up every

00:39:51.940 single person that i love and leave the state i would so quickly yeah it's not that easy you know

00:39:58.340 i just i don't know it's madness to be like i know it is madness yeah to be like hey i'm worried

00:40:05.380 that we're hurting kids and for them to not even for them to be like i don't think you should be a

00:40:09.140 therapist like you're hateful and transphobic like that blows my mind like i'm just trying to make

00:40:16.740 sure that we're not hurting kids like i don't understand how this is suddenly being turned on me

00:40:20.660 where i'm the enemy it's just i guess i'm just so naive in that way like i just didn't see that coming

00:40:26.660 how's your uh family handling it fortunately my kids are young they have no idea that anything

00:40:32.740 shifted um and i'm very grateful for that i will tell you that um you know when i started doing

00:40:42.580 what i do now because i was never really political either and uh when i started doing this and

00:40:48.420 especially when i went to fox from cnn i i said to my children at the time i said i'm going to be made

00:40:54.900 into just a monster and the only thing that matters to me is that my family my kids know who i am

00:41:02.340 and if you ever hear of something you bring it to me and we can talk about it and i'll admit my

00:41:08.740 mistakes and um and my kids uh are my biggest defenders not necessarily of everything i say

00:41:16.900 but they know who i am and that's all that matters your kids are going to be very proud of you in the

00:41:22.580 end you're doing the right thing thank you thank you that's my hope and it helps to hear that was your

00:41:27.620 experience with your family as well yeah so you're working with or they're they're supporting you

00:41:34.900 the lgbt courage coalition which i i love that i've never heard of these guys i think i love these

00:41:43.220 people um this is so great yeah um so if i if i understand what they do this is you know gay 0.96

00:41:53.700 lesbian bisexual transgender and they are they're living their life but they're saying this is bad

00:42:01.460 medicine for kids and they're standing up for kids against their own community you want to talk about

00:42:07.300 pariahs they've got to be massive pariahs in their community yeah i don't know what i i couldn't have

00:42:15.060 navigated all of this without them they have been incredible and i think it's so important for other

00:42:19.700 people to that have concerns about stuff to know that this organization is there like they can help

00:42:25.860 support you through it you know it's so important that that that they that it was founded

00:42:29.860 i want to do an interview with them i i didn't know they even existed and man i'm sure they would

00:42:36.980 love this yeah they are they are amazing um and so they're they're raising money uh for you and you

00:42:45.860 are um they have a goal of eighty thousand dollars which is um you know uh money that you can live on

00:43:37.620 is such a great story such a great story um oh well no i kind of think it's the opposite

00:43:44.660 yeah it's a bad story but it's it's good to see not only she's standing up and it's fascinating to

00:43:54.180 me this is going to happen to so many people i i don't know when this became political that's going

00:44:00.500 to happen to almost everybody who right now is just and they're going to step into something and

00:44:07.780 they'll say no but this just made sense yeah the world changed overnight and you weren't paying

00:44:13.220 attention um but for her to hold her ground and then for this lgbt group to come in man i have respect

00:44:22.500 for them that's fantastic
