#686 The Myth of “Gender-Affirming Care”: The HHS Just Exposed the Medical Scandal Against Our Children
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
Tom Hampson is with Jack to dig into the newly released HHS review of youth gender medicine and what it asserts about puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for minors. You’ll hear why many countries are recalibrating toward psychotherapy and mental health support, what “gold standard science” should look like in pediatric care, and how long-term risks and informed consent must be handled with moral seriousness. Along the way, we examine how schools, media, and even churches helped normalize contested claims, and why silence from trusted institutions often reads like endorsement.

When you think about this, you know, the poor child finally escapes its mother's womb without being aborted. And what do they do?
SPEAKER_01:They want to render this child sterile. The whole whole aberrant sexuality has been normalized. It's not just it isn't just um it used to be uh homosexuality and heterosexuality. Now you got fifty different varieties of sexualities. Yeah. And this transgender is only one. They've got these furries now. They have people that have that are sexually attracted to nature, people who are sexually attracted to feet to virtually everything there's a sexual attraction to, and it's all been normalized.
SPEAKER_02:We had Rachel Levine, a man dressed up as a woman, that Joe Biden and his administration appoint to the the head of health and human services for the whole country. We have been on this for many years now. COVID really brought this crazy insanity up where it was very, very clear that something evil was in the air and that with the lockdowns, and we knew that Fauci had the U.S. government involved in the Wuhan gain of function research. We knew that the COVID, when it was unleashed on the world, we saw the mRNA vac vaccines come out. We knew something was nefarious with that. The churches went along with it, the most pastors went along with it, the Catholic Church went along with it. We had a Pope Francis himself lock down all the masses around the world. So, anyways, it goes on and on and on. And I remember going to the airport after they finally said you could fly, and it was like a futuristic novel, dystopian novel. And I'm walking through the airport, and every five to ten seconds, stay six feet apart, make sure your masks are pulled tight, stay six feet apart, make sure your masters stay six feet. And then I got to the actual uh runway to go down to the plane, everybody staying six feet apart, again, blasting through this airport. And as soon as we got on the runway, they jammed us in like sardines, stuck me shoulder to shoulder with the person next to me, like it was nothing. It was just insane. I we walked from the airport into the plane, and all the rules were gone. The only rule was then was these little minions that could force you to keep your mask up, except they showed us. They showed, do you know how they how they do the how they do the flight, the uh life jackets, you know, how to put them on and case. You know, I'm we're I'm flying from Chicago out to Denver. There's no water in sight, and yet they're gonna show me what happens if we have an ocean landing, right? And another absurd thing. But anyways, now they should now this guy came on, this woke guy came on, and he showed you how to tighten your mask all around your face. And I my eyes rolled and he as he saw that and he did not like me the rest of that flight. I could not eat a peanut and take that mask down, and he would watch me to make sure that I chewed with that mask back on, you know. And I said, you know what? I'm trying to stay six feet apart from you and everybody else, but you keep crowding me, you know. But he didn't like that either. So, anyways, Thomas, the insanity kept going, but nothing, nothing, nothing is as insane as a man who thinks he can become a woman or a woman that thinks they they can become a man just because they dream it in their head. You know, they woke, wake up and I think, and and we've been giving presentations where uh people just assume that that uh you go along with this. We say, what do you mean I go along with this? This is insanity.
SPEAKER_01:It's it's out of a library because we disagreed with what with that settled science.
SPEAKER_02:Settled science, huh? And you know, when you think about this, you know, the poor child finally escapes its mother's womb without being aborted, and what do they do? They want to render this child sterile, and they chase these little kids around, you know, with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and then they mutilate their bodies. And this is all normal to some people, Tom. The the insanity of this is is beyond comprehension. But we had Rachel Levine, a man dressed up as a woman, that Joe Biden and his administration appoint to the head of health and human services for the whole country. This is a huge role, huge money behind this thing. It's into all kinds of agencies. And here we go, a man dressing up and pretending he's a woman, pushing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries on these little kids. And you can't make it up, Tom. And finally, finally, finally, with the Trump administration, something positive happened. And you want to talk about that?
SPEAKER_01:Right, yeah, and and under the previous administration, the this uh Levine, Richard Levine is his real name, and although I guess he I guess he officially changed it to Rachel Levine, but he's still a man, he characterized this trans care, this hormone treatment and surgery as settled science. As settled science. Well, under the Trump administration, HHS has just come out with a report that meticulously dismantles the idea that a man can become a woman or a woman can become a man. And it talks about how the you know, this hormone therapy and and uh surgery for these for children is not only is it not settled science that that that's that's helpful, it's actually destructive of the child and is uh is truly an abomination uh and and medical malpractice for anybody to do this. Tom, does that surprise us? Does that surprise us? No, we've been saying that I we've been saying this for 15 years when it first claims.
SPEAKER_02:Thank you for writing this article and thank you for the uh the HHS for putting this thing out. But isn't it insane again that that they need to do a report to tell us what we knew all along that a man can't become a woman and a woman can't become a man.
SPEAKER_01:But they're still claiming that this is wrong. I mean, there's people out there that say that this report by HHS is wrong.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I was just I um on a on a podcast last week, I had a uh uh black trans woman self-identified bawling out uh the senator uh from California, Scott Wiener, who's a who's a pervert himself. Oh, right, yes. And I'm not just throwing these things out. I mean, these these people are sick.
SPEAKER_01:You had her on your show?
SPEAKER_02:No, no, I I played a clip, and she has so she's she's she's uh she's in the audience and she's asking him about about men in women's bathrooms because she was harassed a number of times in there and she's really speaking out, right? Trish Hyman, I think her name is. Right, yeah. And he gives this rigamum role and he says, Well, we have to protect all women and trans men are men, and trans women, I don't know what is a trans woman, Tom, is a trans woman is a man, right? And and so so the trans woman is a woman, and she can go into the locker room. She goes, I'm being harassed by one of those trans women. And he goes, Well, we have to protect everybody. And she says, What are you talking about? Well, here is the point I made in the podcast was once you go down these rabbit holes, they don't stop. You know, then then then all this uh evil and confusion just starts to gobble up each other, and that's what you're seeing now. You're seeing the the LGB part of the LGBTQ saying, you know, the LBG2 part of it saying, no, this is insanity. But it's all in, you know, it has its degree of insanity. You know, we've all re we've redefined marriage, and we said this years ago, once you redefine marriage, uh, where it means it's it means anything, then it means nothing. And we we just said you you're gonna see this thing spin out of control until it it it it morphs into so many crazy ideologies that people just get tired and they become apathetic. And so this is what happened with the Trump administration. They came in and said, no, let's write a paper here, let's get the facts right. So it's amazing that we have to do this, but we did have to do it.
SPEAKER_01:Right. Well, the whole aberrant sexuality has been normalized. It's not just it isn't just um it used to be uh homosexuality and heterosexuality. Now you got fifty different varieties of sexualities.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And this transgender is only one. Look at they've got these furries now. They have people that have that are sexually attracted to nature, people who are sexually attracted to feet to virtually everything there's a sexual attraction to, and it's all been normalized. Like this is hey, just it depends on how you how you are made. This is not it's all crazy.
SPEAKER_02:You know this. Yeah, it's talk about insanity. I just saw a a clip from a TED, one of those TED talks. And there's two young women, two different talks, two young women standing up for maps, minor attractive persons. Right. And so pedophiles. And they are standing up for them. And here's what these women said, just like this. They just said, you know what, they were born this way, and we just have to get used to them. We can't just condemn them because they want to rape uh and sexually abuse young kids. And you just go, what did you what are you talking about?
SPEAKER_01:Right. Well, no, it's see, they also it's even worse than that because they're saying that it doesn't harm the children, and uh in fact it's good for the children to have a sexual relationship with an adult that's good for them. And so not only is it it's not only should it be decriminalized, it should be encouraged.
SPEAKER_02:Tom, have you if you know this better than most, you know, you've talked to some of these kids that have been sexually abused. How many of them said what a wonderful thing it was to have an adult rape them? I mean, did any of them jump up and down for glee and happiness?
SPEAKER_01:No, I this the thing is that one of them really stands out to me as it's uh he was uh he was a child whose uh father had abandoned them, his mother was raising him as a single mother, she worked, and she had a this priest showed an interest in her son, and she was thrilled about it, and she felt he needed a father figure and and uh the boy too just loved it. He this priest took him to ball games, like the socks game, socks games, he took him fishing, he took him to all these different kinds of things. He says, I loved the guy. It was just this one thing, this whole sexuality thing, that uh that I have a bad feeling about. It was just it was just very bad. But ninety ninety-five percent of the relationship with him was was wonderful. It's just this one this five percent of it was was ugly and he and he it made him sick thinking about it. So it's they they vul they they exploit the vulnerable to the good of the vulnerable. It's it's to the detriment of the child. It doesn't help the child at all.
SPEAKER_02:And when you talk about the you know the the the uh priests, that's what really makes you sick. Look at everybody that's on that listens to this show knows that uh I had a brother that was sexually abused by a a priest in our parish and and he died. And and he was he he got into drugs and all kinds of different types of behaviors, homosexuality among one of them, and and all coming stemming from the sexual abuse, you know. He had nothing good to say about that. But yet even uh we have elements in the church and and pastors who are still pushing homosexuality and LBGTQ. And let me ask you this, Tom. Why is it only about sex? Why is it only about sex that we allow this stuff and and it's anything else is fine. You know, if if it comes to sex, you know, it it's amazing. You know, if if I if I if you of course this is changing too. I was gonna say if if I lie to you, we don't say that that's okay. I was just born a liar and and so and that's okay for me. I'm gonna lie. Or I'm gonna steal every time I go to somebody's house or in the store, and it's okay. And I was gonna say that's not okay, but obviously if you live in one of these socialist cities like we do here in Chicago, it actually even lying, stealing, cheating, and murdering people is even okay. This isn't this is this is where we're at. Right. You gotta pick yourself.
SPEAKER_01:I refuse to to accept the idea that these children are born gay or or lesbian or whatever the whatever the letter is, I refuse to accept that. They are twisted into that kind of behavior as a result of an aberrant sexual experience that they've had in their in their childhood. That this this um they've been their sexuality has been distorted by something that's happened to them. But let's say even that it even it is something that they're born with. We're all born sinners. Does that give us license to sin?
SPEAKER_02:Oh, and that was my point. You know, it's only with the sexual sins that we say it's okay. You know, if I'm an alcoholic, and I have friends of mine that are that are alcoholics that haven't drank for 30, 40 years, but they still consider themselves alcoholics, they still go to meetings, uh, they still counsel other people. It has become part of their life, and they know they have an attraction to that. But we don't we don't invite them into the church and just say, it's okay. You know, drink it like you know, drink as much as you want and get drunk. No, we say, hey, dude, you know, you got to take responsibility for your actions. If you want to heal, you can come into the church and and we'll help you with that. But we don't accept that, you know. Anorexia, food, food disorders, you know, when some young person is dying because they're starving themselves, we don't just say, it's okay, honey. You know, you if you don't want to eat, you don't have to eat. We say, no, something's got to change here in their behavior. So one of them will say, I'm I'm born attracted to alcohol, I'm born attracted to food uh disorders, I'm born attracted to lying, cheating, stealing. So everything's okay. And you say, No, of course it's not okay. But with the sexual sins, somehow, Tom, it's not only okay, you're you're elevated, you know, this intersectionality and stuff, you know, you're you're elevated. And it's it's uh it's something that we just have to keep talking about. So let's let's go back to this article that you you know that that you wrote. And any other major points you want to bring out on that just to to highlight, because I think it's important for us to be able to walk out confidently with the facts themselves and say, no, this has factually been uh disproved.
SPEAKER_01:Well the thing is that there every every institution in our country has bowed down to these people that claim that uh uh transgender is a normal part of life. Every single institution, the you know, the media, the government, the medical community, the psychological community, the churches, of all things, the churches have gone along with this. And yet we can see how distorted this is this has become over the years. It started off as something, the condition, gender um identity disorder is what it used to be called. It used to be a very, very, very rare condition that people had. And it was treated mostly by with psychological help. And then it started to become more popularized. And now it's like almost commonplace that people know somebody who's a who's a transgender. And on top of that, now we've added a fusing of these transgenders and other things like like the furries. You know, the guy that shot Charlie Kirk was into this furry stuff, you know, and and also transgenders. His lover was a transgender and a furry. And and he apparently was some kind of a furry. And the um the crooks who who tried to kill President Trump uh a year ago, he appears to have been involved in this furry and transgender subculture. We are becoming um uh these these disordered behaviors, these disordered desires are metastasizing in our c culture to make them even worse. And so it's I I thank God that HHS has come out with this report where we now have an official document from the government that meticulously deconstructs every lie that these people who are promoting transgenderism have have been passing around in the country.
SPEAKER_02:It's it's so refreshing, but the only problem, of course, is you know, once a new government comes in, or if they let these these these crazies, and I really mean it, they lost their reason, Tom. If they get back into power and you can see what happens, the destruction is really brutal. I want to play, I want to play this clip from Admiral Brian uh Christine, who he's a doctor, who took over for Richard Levine, his secretary, assistant secretary of the human health uh this is Admiral Brian Christine, the Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services.
SPEAKER_00:Over the past decade, the number of children and adolescents who reject their biological sex has risen dramatically. Some analyses indicate trans identifying teens nearly doubled from 2022 to 2023. These young people and their families are searching for answers to gender dysphoria. They deserve honesty, compassion, and the strongest evidence for the help that the medical profession can offer. And that is why the United States Department of Health and Human Services worked with nine academics with professional backgrounds in medicine, bioethics, psychology, and philosophy to conduct the most comprehensive review to date of the standard of care for gender dysphoria in minors. The findings within the 400-page peer-reviewed report are clear. Sex-rejecting procedures such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for children are dangerous. They can cause infertility, a loss of sexual function, reduced bone density, metabolic and cognitive effects, and certainly surgical complications. They can scar kids, both physically and emotionally, for life, and they can do irreversible harm. I implore physicians and parents to read this report and protect children from fraudulent procedures. My message to parents and kids navigating a world mired in confusion and despair is very simple. The prior administration and my predecessor, Rachel Levine, manipulated and betrayed vulnerable families. The Trump administration has the wheel now, and we will never abandon you. We are committed to gold standard science, not a political agenda, and we are always guided by radical transparency. Today we are releasing nearly 200 pages of independent peer reviews that confirm the accuracy and the integrity of our findings. Around the world, countries like the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Finland have already shifted course, emphasizing psychotherapy and mental health support for children confused about their sex, and it is long time that we do the same in the United States. And this is not about politics. It's about science, it's about safety, and it's about trust. Our mission is to ensure every American and especially every child receives medical care that is evidence-based, that is ethical, and worthy of the public's confidence. Protecting our children's health and their future is good medicine. And it's also our moral obligation, and in the administration, we take this obligation very, very seriously. At the Department of Health and Human Services, we will continue to be guided by gold standard science, a dedication to radical transparency, and always the truth. That is our commitment to the American people, and it's my promise, my pledge to you as the Assistant Secretary for Health. Blessings upon you, upon your children, and upon our republic. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02:When you hear something as refreshing as someone like that, compared to this uh this nut case, Richard Levine, I mean, what a breath of fresh air, you know. And and again it points out this is a real battle between sanity and insanity. What do you think?
SPEAKER_01:Well, it's a battle between truth and lie. These studies that they that they these aren't new studies that they've done.
SPEAKER_02:Tom, Tom, Tom, let's let you know, get even beneath the studies. This is in this is truth versus lie. This is good versus evil, because there's no study that's going to give me enough evidence that can tell me that just because 15 minutes from now I go into the my bedroom and I dream that I'm a woman, then I'm going to come out and I'm a woman. It ain't going to happen. And because you give me some hormones, that ain't going to change it either. It can do some damaging to my damages to my body, just like drinking too much and taking too many drugs and too many steroids or whatever else I would do, but it's not going to change my sex. And that's just reality.
SPEAKER_01:There was a was I was listening to a podcast, a free press podcast, that uh interviewed Carol Hooven, who was uh who used to be a well, she's a biologist, and she used to be uh an instructor at Harvard University for like 20 years. And she wrote this book, The Story of Testosterone, the hormone that dominates and divides us. Well, she happened, based on her research and her studies, she went on Fox and Friends one morning and just said very, very matter-of-factly that uh that there are two sexes, male and female. Well, this caused a firestorm at Harvard, and she was uh she was forced to resign because she her comments on Fox and Friends were considered transphobic. This is this kind of thing, this is Harvard University. Um you can't make this stuff up. And so we still have a problem of the narrative dominating over the truth. And that's that's not going to stop. But we need to, we we need to use the evidence that we have, and people need to start picking this up, and especially I think churches need to start picking this up. You know, it's it's unconscionable that the churches have not been more vocal in condemning these kinds of false teaching that's out there. You know, one by one, major down major Protestant denominations have fallen to the to the LGBT agenda. And the reason for that is that for the last 30 years, schools have been teaching young kids that LGBT is normal. It's if you're you're just born that way, that's the way it is. We have to accept it. This is there's nothing you can do about it. No, you can't change it. If you try to change it, you're you're homophobic and and it's evil to try to do this. Too many churches have bought into it, and they take these kids that have been indoctrinated into this false, false narrative in their schools, and when they get to Sunday school or the youth programs at churches, the church doesn't say anything against it. They don't speak up and say, you know, what you're learning over there in school about this stuff, it's all wrong. It's false, and this is why it's it's false. We're not saying this based on the Bible alone. We're saying this based on science. Science says this is not accurate.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. So why aren't they doing it?
SPEAKER_01:Well, that's the thing. Why are because they're too cowardly. They don't want to create conflict. They don't want to lose people in the seats on Sunday morning. They would be too offensive to too many people.
SPEAKER_02:And there's another reason, Tom, and that's true. All that's true. And there's another reason that too many of them actually participate in this. Too many of them actually participate in sexual abuse. And when I look at the cowardice of the USCCB, the United States Council of Catholic Bishops, the cowardice there to stand up against evil and stand up against things that are wrong, to stand up against uh, you know, homosexuality and blessing homosexual marriages in the church. And again, these aren't isolated cases, Tom. I'm not talking again about my gay neighbors down the street. I'm talking about when they I'm talking about Catholic prelates, right? That that are there to teach uh Catholicism. Nobody has to come into the Catholic Church, nobody has to uh change, you know, become religious and say, hey, I I I am going to clean up my act. You you know, people will do what people do. And and uh so we're not out to to to try to condemn everybody, but when you come into the church, you're coming in there for healing, and these sissy weak, we need bishops who are probably not probably, there's a so many of them are homosexual, practicing homosexuals. I'm not talking about assault homosexual attractions where you say, okay, I'm attracted, but I'm I'm living a chaste celibate life. But these are guys that are actively participating, so they're not going to say anything, Tom, because if they say anything against one thing, then you know, then then who am I to judge a trans person or a queer person or an IASS plus person, you know? And so you go down these rabbit holes and they just spin around and nobody does anything. And and again, that's why I think what we're doing, and we'll continue to talk about these things, because it's unjust what's happening to the young adults, especially that are coming up and they're searching, they know something's wrong, and you have to speak the truth to power and the truth to lies.
SPEAKER_01:Well, and you know, the thing is that in the United States today, the lavender mafia is very powerful. And it's not just powerful in the secular world, it's become very powerful within uh the religious communities and within the churches, both Catholic and uh Protestant denominations. Um it's not something that you can just overlook and say, oh, well, it's no big deal. But that's what people do. He says, Well, this isn't really affecting me, and I don't so I don't really want to get involved.
SPEAKER_02:Well, it's affecting them because it's taken down the whole culture, and that's taken down the whole nation. And so what you know, when you say it's not affecting me, I mean these people were locked down four years ago or five years ago, were locked down out of their homes. They, if they spoke up against it, they were put in jail, fined businesses. How many guys I know that lost their businesses? So what do you mean it's not gonna affect me? Yes, lies affect you because they start to promulgate these lies, and then they're gonna take businesses out that they decide they need to come out, right? Small businesses, medium-sized businesses, because why? Because they're independent thinkers. And so they're gonna keep the big box stores and the big corporations that are in the politicians' pocket, and vice versa. And you saw this with the Bud commercials, Tom, with the uh the Bud Light commercials and all these types of things. Why do they go along? Why does Target have clothes for little kids in their trans clothes? And you know why? Well, because they have to go all along with this because it's all about the mighty dollar, you know, and that's what happens. But but they pick the winners and they pick the losers, and trust me, most of us are gonna be losers in the Sen, right?
SPEAKER_01:Well, you know, just stop and think of what the implications of all this stuff are. That our forefathers revolted against England because they imposed a half a penny tax. And they did they had a few other like forced uh they made the the people accept army troops to live in their house. Imagine how those forefathers would have reacted to the lockdowns that we experienced during the during the COVID crisis, which when it was the most egregious violation of our civil rights in the history of this country. It makes a half penny tax look like nothing. And yet most of us just meekly accepted it, which is disgusting. It is disgusting. And it's the same kind of thing that we're meekly accepting the idea that a man can become a woman, that people are born either that people are born gay, that it's not something that that's happened to them, that something traumatic that has caused them to become sexually aberrant. These are things that that the church has remained completely silent on for the most part. Only that wacky what was that wacky um church, some ridiculous Baptist church that was really horrible a few years ago. Only they spoke out against it and they made the they really gave the whole group of us who were opposed to this accepting the LGBT agenda black eyes because we were painted with the same terrible brush that they were.
SPEAKER_02:Well, again, you know, if any of the denominations, the big denominations, would have stood up against these COVID lockdowns, the Catholic Church or the Protestant churches or somebody, we would have defeated this thing. But none of them did. They all caved except for a couple evangelical pastors, they all caved. And and some priests, many priests did this underground type of thing, but but they when they were found out, they were taken out of the priesthood. The pedophiles were left in, the the the people that are blaming or blessing same-sex marriage who are pro-Catholic for abortion, etc., they're fine. But you you you stand up against all of these lies and ignorant things, and they're actually were taken out, Tom. I know personally priests that were conservative that were that were taken out, they were just trying to bring the sacraments into people's lives during the shutdown, and you can't you can't make it up. So, you know, it's a very interesting time to be alive, huh?
SPEAKER_01:Well, the example that we've that we've given the government is that we're we will be we will not protest against anything. Imagine what it's gonna be next time there's some kind of emergency. What kind of draconian impositions they're gonna put on us.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Yeah. And you see you you you know, another avenue you see it with the with the climate porn, right? I mean, this climate fear all around the world that actually is destroying economies, destroying livelihoods again, destroying the poor who who who really need cheap fuel and stuff to keep going. Small businesses again that are maybe on on the just on the edge of staying in the business. And you know, you raise their fuel prices, gas prices, food prices, and boom, they're out of business.
SPEAKER_01:You know, and what happened with Bill Gates, though? He spent billions of dollars to, you know, for to protect the climate and say climate change is an existential threat and we got to do something about it. Billions and billions of dollars on it. He just a couple of weeks ago, he says, I was wrong. I guess we have to move on to something else. And that's it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, right? It's like all of a sudden, all of a sudden climate change isn't a problem. The media let them go. And the media let them go.
SPEAKER_01:Or you just kind of casually say, oh, well, this is this is wrong. We have to do something different. Tom, we got to remember this stuff.
SPEAKER_02:Before we leave right now, as we're winding out, give me a couple other things that Trump is doing well that people need to remember because they do need to remember this. That people will ask me, why, why did those young guys in Gen Z, why did they vote for Trump? And I say, You're kidding, right? You didn't see everything that you and I, Tom, had just talked about on the show. You didn't see them appoint these crazy people as scientists, these crazy people in charge of our health that are actually have mental illness and they put them in charge of our health, that open up the whole border, that promulgated these vaccines and all this stuff. You know, it's it's uh it can make you sick, right? Or pushing abortions and pushing all of these LPGTQ issues. And so Trump came in and you know, he's not perfect, he's not God, he's not our savior, but he's done some good things, including putting that admiral that we just played up on the on the screen. Right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, he's made a lot of really good appointments for one thing. But the other thing is he's shut down the border. He's removing the illegal aliens, and they are going after the the dangerous ones first. He just completely transformed our energy sector. He's gotten rid of all kinds of regulations that prevent the construction of nuclear power, which is probably the cleanest nuclear, the cleanest power that we could have, much better than solar or or wind. Wind, those have they require the destruction of the earth in order to in order to to uh produce them. Um so because of his he's focused on all these energies and and increased the the capability, the production of oil and and gas, energy are going down.
SPEAKER_02:Look what they're doing with food, Tom. I mean taking warning us about you know uh the the health problems with our kids with all of these processed foods and stuff, right?
SPEAKER_01:Well, they've they've already they've already done that. They've taken dyes out of some of the out of some of the foods. They're they're requiring more organic, they're they're they're examining, re-examining all of the vaccines. A few years ago, there kids only had to get four when I was a kid. I don't there's I there were only two vaccines that I got. Today the kids that go to school get something like ninety. What is that? This something and and does it really protect them? They're they're looking at the studies to find out what's good for kids and what isn't in terms of in terms of the food pyramid, the kind of vaccines that they should have, the kind of health criteria that should be included in the school. They've re-established the President's physical fitness program, which was eliminated for a long time.
SPEAKER_02:And Tom, and they've they're they're pushing back against this comprehensive national sex ed standards being taught in the schools. And so all these sexual way to sexualize and steal the innocence of of young children, it's it it's makes my stomach sick when I think about it.
SPEAKER_01:Well, look at all the peace agreements he's he's created around the world, uh Pakistan and and India, which could have been which could have become a nuclear war. You've got to realize that if somebody starts chucking nukes, even if it's over in Pakistan and India, if they started chucking nukes at each other, it's gonna affect us here. People are gonna die here because of that. It would be long-term suffering kind of dying. And so these are things that he's done. Uh we're on the verge of a peace agreement in in the Ukraine. Hopefully, prayerfully, we have to try to uh help that come about. This this would these are monumental achievements that he's made in such a short period of time. I don't know why he doesn't have a hundred percent approval. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I I I'm gonna hang his hat up back behind my behind me there. Hey, God bless you, Tom. Thank you, huh? I you know, it's good to remember what he's done well because you know, too many people are ready to abandon ship as soon as they get some something that they see that's not perfect. They re they forget that everything that we brought up today is is a fraction of the evil that he's he's pushing back against. Uh we you know, I is he's amazing that he can do that. Again, he's not God, he's not the savior, he's not a perfect man, we all know that. Uh but somehow he has everything that you said that the pastors don't have, standing up for truth and doing it in his own way. He's not going to do it perfectly. This is politics, Tom. Politics is a dirty game, and you know, he's not he's not the king, he's not the monarch, and and he can't just make all the decisions. You wish he could. But then, of course, the problem with that is then the Biden administration would come back and then they would do the same thing. So I guess there's it's good that we have some checks and balances. All right, brother. It's good to be with you, huh? I'll talk to you later. All right, goodbye, everyone.
