Simon Amaya-Price was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at 14, socially transitioned at 16, and then returned to living as his natal sex. He is one of the organizers of protests at all 3 hospitals being investigated by the FBI for child gender mutilation — including Children’s CO Aurora campus.
Then, with Rep. Ryan Armagost (R-64) announcing his resignation from the House for a new employment opportunity in Arizona, Rep. Brandi Bradley (R-39) has thrown her hat into the ring as a candidate for GOP minority whip in the House. She joins Ryan to discuss.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Oh, thank you, Wow, thank you. Y You know, I'm
waiting and listening to these wonderful words.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And they are music in my ears.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
But I was also wondering how we're doing because I
know this is prime time.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It shows that I care about you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because I'm here and I probably should be there.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
President Trump touting the historic impact of the Big, Beautiful
Bill and what it will have on the lives of Americans,
and Senate Republicans deliver him a major win, voting last
hour to approve the bill following a marathon session.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
So the Senate made its way through the night and
those negotiations to get the GOP holdouts on board, and
the effort appears to have worked, with Republicans winning over
Alaska Senator Lisa Rikowski, vice President Vance stepping in to
provide the tie breaking vote needed to get that bill
across the finish line.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
On this vote, the Ya's are fifty, the na's are fifty,
the Senate being evenly divided, The Vice President votes, and
the affirmative of the bill as amended is passed.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
The bill now heads back to the House, and the
Freedom Caucus is already ripping the Senate version of the
proposal for adding to the National Devisit House. Fraey mc
cox chairman Andy Harris is among those lawmakers who have
publicly said they're a no.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
On the bill.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
John Robert Sandra Smith. On the passage of the Big
Beautiful Bill, there were three no votes from Republicans in
a fifty three forty seven majority. Ran Paul Long against
this bill. No surprise there. Tom Tilli is probably going
to get primary to North Carolina, maybe by Laura Trump
and then Susan Collins. I think that was a save
face vote. You know, Michael Brown talks a lot about her.
(01:38):
He knows her quite well from his time in the
Bush administration when she was a senator from Maine. She's
still that same senator from Maine. There used to be
another one of those kind of watery, wishy, washy moderate
Rhino Republicans in Maine. They had two Republican women senators.
The other was Olympia Snow and now of course Angus King,
(01:58):
who presents himself as an independent, but he caucuses with
the Democrats, and like Bernie Sanders as an independent, votes
almost lockstep with the Democrats. So to get a Susan
Collins from a state like Maine, I think you kind
of have to take it because even in Maine's second
congressional district where Jared Golden, a Democrat, represents, I mean,
(02:20):
Trump won that district. And in Maine, like Nebraska, they
split up their electoral votes based on congressional district and
then the statewide winner of the popular vote gets the
two electoral votes that are assigned for the senators. That's
how you're allotted your electoral votes. It's the total number
of representatives in the House. And then of course every
state has two senators, so like here in Colorado, we
(02:42):
have eight House members, two senators, total of ten ten
electoral votes. But all that to say, it's a really
fine line to get even somebody like Susan Collins across
the line and have a bear majority in the Senate
of a Republican advantage. She votes Republican, and I think
when it matters, she was given cover in this instance.
(03:03):
In my belief, it's purely strategic on her part, so
she can go back to her voters say, hey, I
stood up to Donald Trump on the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm a moderate. I'm not always you.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Know, super maga conservative. On a lot of these things,
and maybe that'll be enough to givince their voters to
keep her in there, I guess. But had she been
a deciding vote, let's say the fifty first vote, so
it doesn't go to Vice President jd Vance for the
tie break, I don't think Susan Collins votes against the bill.
They were able to bring Lisa Murkowski along. Now she's
(03:35):
a much different story. If there weren't ranked choice voting
in Alaska, Kelly Shibaka would have won that primary, the
Republican primary, and would have defeated Lisa Murkowski and been
a true America First, conservative populist senator from Alaska. And
Alaska is a red enough state where we shouldn't be
putting up with the likes of Lisa Murkowski. Susan Collins.
(03:56):
Main that's one thing. Lisa Murkowski and Alaska that is
quite another. Much like Tom tillis North Carolina. Now North
Carolina is you know, it's kind of that elusive goal
for Democrats, the way that Minnesota is for Republicans can't
quite win Minnesota in electoral college presidential election. Democrats can't
(04:17):
quite win North Carolina. Same thing. Unless you go back
to Barack Obama. He won it the first time, he
lost it the second time to Mitt Romney. So again,
even a Tom tillis that? What are we putting up
with a guy like that in North Carolina for? I
don't know, but Murkowski was promised some sweetener. This is
how it works. We know the sausage factor. If you
enjoy you know, Italian sausage, don't go to the sausage
(04:39):
factory to see how it's made, or you'll never want
to eat it again. Right, that's the whole metaphor. That's
the case also with Congress. What happens behind closed doors,
the promises that are made, the deals, the smoke filled rooms,
the cigars, all that sort of thing. And Murkowski was
promised something and she gave kind of a hat tip
and a wink and a nod maybe to the House,
saying that while she voted yes, she's hopeful the House
(05:02):
will make some changes. Now. I don't know specifically what
that means, because she tends to lean left when it
comes to spending and social programs.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I mean, she's.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Barely a Republican really, But my hope is that the
House overrides what the Senate parliamentarian did. This is an
appointed position by a Democrat Biden. And why John fun
has held this woman in place, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's totally up to him. He's the majority leader of
the Senate.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Scuttler, punter her, get her out of there, or flat
out ignore her. Because she raised the threshold from a
simple majority fifty one to forty nine vote on removing
Medicaid from illegal aliens, and they were not able to
get past the filibuster proof threshold of sixty which she decided.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Who are these people?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
These judges come out of the woodwork, liberal judges from
circuits that don't affect the rest of the nation, and
they decide that they're going to stop Trump executive orders,
policy decisions, terry strategy, and that all was knocked down
by the Supreme Court of the United States thankfully recently.
But this Senate parliamentarian, all these technicalities the Democrats are
(06:10):
pulling out of the woodwork to block the Republican agenda.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That one woman again not elected. Who is she?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Why is she? What gives her the power for her
to have be able to make that kind of decision
is ridiculous. And the members of the House, especially that
House Freedom Caucus, that John Roberts has talked about. Here
is that Representative Andy Harris and what he views as
the state of the big beautiful bill now that it's
gone through some changes in the Senate.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
This is not ready for prime time. We support the
president's agenda. The president's agenda was not to raise the
deficit by three quarters of a trillion dollars over the
next ten years. The bottom line is now the House
is going to have its say, this is not going.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
To sail through the House.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
We're going to have to negotiate with the Senate one
more time. And that's just appropriate. That's the way the
legislative process works and the way it should work on
a bill of this size.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
We spoke with Representative Gabe Evans yesterday and I'll have
an encore presentation that interview because there's so much good
stuff in it. To close out the program, I'll split
that up into two parts in case you missed it,
or even if you heard it the first time, you
can really hone in on the details as he gives
us a look inside that process. That Representative Andy Harris,
Republican Maryland, the only Republican representing Maryland in the House,
(07:21):
gives us right there. Chip Roy also not a fan.
This was in part of the report from Aisha Hasni
As she continues, right here, thanks.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
For moving fast already in the House, and that is
because Democrats, the leadership there is already summoning their entire
conference back to the Hill immediately for a conference wide
meeting later tonight. And the Rules Committee, i am told,
is going to meet in the next thirty minutes to
start reviewing the Senate's version of this bill for now.
Though over in the Senate, celebrations over this big, beautiful
(07:54):
bill finally got through the upper chamber after an almost
twenty five hour long vote to rama desprite three GOP knows.
And those three GOP knows were Senators Ran Paul, tom
Tellis and Susan Collins, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski saving Republicans
today with a yes. After some last minute deal making,
(08:16):
Senate Republicans doubled the funding to rural hospitals from twenty
five billions to fifty billion, and that is meant to
try to offset any issues that would arise from those
Medicaid cuts in this bill. Now, Democrats drop tried and
tried and tried to delay by offering up amendments up
until the very last moment, and then listen to this
(08:37):
Leader Schumer raising a point of order forcing Republicans to
strip the bill of its name, the Big Beautiful Bill,
so it won't officially in legislative text.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We called that anymore.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
House Conservatives have big problems with what the Senate just did, though,
and that is where we look to now. The Senate
was unable to include a provision to remove illegal immigrants
from Medicaid, so that's a problem for some Conservatives, and
the House Room Caucus claims that the Senate's bill adds
six hundred and fifty one billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
To the deficit.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Speaker can only lose three Republicans, and he is already
facing many many angry conservatives.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
This is the.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Senate wanting to try to save some for their home states,
like Senator Vskowski for Alaska, trying to get giveaways to
perpetuate the medicaid money laundering scam in Alaska. It may
not be today, it may not be this week, but
we're going to deliver on the tax cuts, spending cuts,
and the border funding necessary to save this country.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
And despite that, Sandra, President Trump just said that he
believes that this is going to actually pass a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Faster and easier in the House.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
We shall see he might actually have to get involved directly.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And again my conversation with Representative Gabe Evans coming up
to close out the program. We began the Monday show
with him, and so a lot of you only listen
to maybe even one segment or one hour at tops
and don't get a chance to hear everything. And maybe
you didn't get a chance to hear the podcast. So
I want to make sure we provide that opportunity. And
in that conversation, what you'll hear is his description of
(10:09):
the job that Speaker Mike Johnson has done with a
bare majority in the House.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
This is not easy.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
You've often heard me praise albeit very you know, reluctantly.
Nancy Pelosi, Now she had these squad members popping off
Ayanna Presley, aoc Corey bush Ilhan, Omar Rashida.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Talib Ba bah bah Bah.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
But at the end of the day, she brought them
in and she shushed them, and she got them on board,
and they did what they were told, and they were
able to lock everybody in and pull in the same direction,
and no matter what their ends are, whatever their motives are,
their policy positions are. She Nancy Pelosi did a very
effective job as Speaker at whipping together those votes. Now
(10:53):
Mike Johnson needs to do the same on the Republican side,
and that is something that Congressman Evans has pointed out
as a tremendous skill of his that whenever he's been doubted,
and it's happened several times, as many as five according
to Gabe Evans, every single time Speaker Johnson has delivered.
Now is Mike Johnson my favorite? Was he my first
(11:14):
choice for Speaker? Did I think Kevin McCarthy should have
been ousted in the first place? My answer to all
of those is no, because I always want, as I
stress on the show, a pragmatic, practical approach with priorities
based in principle. That's it, simply said, those priorities in
(11:36):
order not going to get everything you want in an
ideal world. Like Dandy Don Meredith said on Monday Night
Football so many years ago, if ifs and butts were
candies and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right, Well, this is politics.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
And unless you have some kind of filibuster proof majority
in the Senate and a tremendous advantage in the House.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It is possible, it can happen.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
We saw the Republican revel of nineteen ninety four led
by Newt Gingridge, spearheaded by Rush Limbaugh, and much to
the chagrin of President Bill Clinton at the time.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
What did that do? That brought Bill Clinton to the
middle and he.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Ostensibly governed as a moderate from that point forward. He
wanted to make deals with Newt Gingrish. They balanced the
budget twice and in spite of the Monica Lewinsky business,
President Clinton left with pretty high marks in terms of
approval ratings from the American people.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And why is that?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Because the Republicans had the juice in the House, in
the Senate, and if Bill Clinton wanted to get anything done,
he needed to come to the table.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And make a deal. In this case, the majorities are
so small.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
And even though fifty three forty seven sounds pretty good,
telling you some of these Senate races, if you look back,
and maybe you're not thinking about this, but in twenty
twenty four he had really good candidates. Mike Rogers in
my home state of Michigan barely lost to Alyssa Slotkin.
A Democrat. He had a strong candidate in Wisconsin almost
on seat Tammy Baldwin, and had these races where Republicans
(13:01):
could have run up the score and maybe not gotten
to sixty, but they certainly could have gotten about fifty five,
maybe even fifty six some of these narrowly defined races,
and the map favors them once again in the Senate
races on the docket for twenty twenty six. But with
this narrow majority, your priorities have to change a little
bit in terms of who are you hurting together. Well,
(13:23):
you heard from Chip Roy, you heard also from Maryland
Representative Andy Harris. We know that there are reliable votes
like a Gabe Evans. He's going to, I think, be
that team player that has that pragmatic approach. I think
he's a principal conservative myself, and I think he's in
America first, agenda driven congressman as well, and he's going
to do what's best for his constituents in his district
(13:45):
and for us here in the state of Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But understandably, I look.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
At what the Senate has done, and they're trying to
loosen the purse strings again and spend a little bit more.
And I don't like it anymore than Ran Paul does,
or Thomas Massey does, or Chip Roy r Andy Harris does.
But now is the time where the House has to
get to work and figure out what can they do,
what can they cobble together? And now they're going to
have to make like this kind of counter proposal that
(14:10):
they'll put it into the bill once again to stabilize it.
Markowski asked for it, Not sure she's asking for but
then that'll go back to the Senate finally bill and
then hopefully sign. All they need is those fifty votes
jd Vance to break the tie, as he did, and
then it goes to the President's desk. Will that be
done by July fourth? I mean, that's kind of an artificial,
(14:31):
arbitrary deadline. It's something Donald Trump likes, that kind of headline.
I think he'd appreciate that. But in this instance, I
think it would be well served for the House the
Senate to get this done.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Let John Fetterman go to the beach.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
That was pretty funny he was making those remarks earlier
yesterday and get this win. Get this win not just
for Trump, not just for the Republicans, but for the
American people to get this economy back roaring as we
know that it can. Get the stability of those tax
cuts implement have cost certainty going forward, help keep the
(15:04):
rising inflation that we saw under Joe Biden under control.
It's been under wraps largely in these first few months
of Trump's second term, and then with the tax cuts,
spur that economy, put more people, more money into people's pockets,
allow them to decide what they want to do with it.
Spend it, invest it, and fuel that economy and drive
that tax based energy and improve the revenues that are
(15:26):
brought in because a thriving economy means a larger tax base,
more money coming in. But all you're doing is you're
incentivizing and enabling job creators, innovators, hard working Americans to
put their money right back into the economy, but do
it as they see fit for items and goods and
(15:47):
services that they need. And that will define the Trump
economy that we saw roaring back during his first term.
So looking forward to more of that five seven seventy
three nine is where you can send your thoughts along.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Now it's going to shock you to hear that.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Aisha Roscoe of NPR not crazy about this, and then
she drops this interesting reference about Obamacare and the warning
signs about it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, you know, the.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Waste, fraud and abuse line reminds me of if you
like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, right like,
if you like your if.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You like it, you can keep it. Okay.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Well, when this when the rubber meets the roads and
people start losing their health care, are they all gonna
look like waste, fraud and abuse?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Like that's what you like?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
To me, I'm thinking famous last words, Are you making
a promise that you can live up to? And I
think I do think it'll get through the House because,
as you said, I mean, the pressure is on they
have to deliver something. This is what they got. They're
gonna get something through, but the cost could be.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Enormous now, which I don't know if she unintentionally did this,
but that's a rip on Barack Obama because he was
famous for saying and these words would come back to
haunt him about Obamacare.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Uh. No, that turned out to be not true under Obamacare,
and there are a lot of problems with it that
was almost overturned by Republicans.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Remember Paul Ryan campaign on this promise to.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Revamp or overturn or reconfigure Obamacare, come back with something
that was even better than that, and then John McCain,
Senator Arizona, famously went thumbs down on it, and he
was the deciding vote. And that is something that Donald
Trump never forgot and never forgave, as he continued to
(17:30):
rip John McCain right up until his passing. Let's get
to some of these texts now five seven, seven thirty nine. Ryan,
A lot of the benefits are going to illegals, kids
who were born here with American citizenship, benefits shared with
their illegal family.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm sure are you saying that should be taken away?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Illegal aliens should not receive benefits paid for by the
American taxpayer. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. But the
comparison I always make is if I traveled to any
country and I just show up and I didn't get
there legally, I'm not licensed to stay there, I'm been
authorized to stay there, and I'm a work permit. I
(18:08):
just show up and say, hand me some freebies. I
get Medicaid, I get whatever the Japanese equivalent of Medicare.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is they're gonna laugh at me, kick me out of
the country.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Think about the precedent that sets, and it's already been
set by President Biden said, come on, come on across
a go across the border. You know we got this app.
You don't have to show up for your hearing. Don't
worry about that. You can reside in the country illegally
and will give you all these government goodies.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You don't have to give us anything.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
You don't have to pay into the system the way
that the American taxpayers do. And oh, by the way, Texter,
to your point, what about those living in poverty here
who are American citizens who we're born here, who work here.
Shouldn't they be first in line? How about our veterans
coming home from war. I don't think illegal aliens should
(18:56):
be allowed to go to the front of the line,
and they do it in so many instances, especially in
sanctuary cities like Denver and sanctuary states like Colorado, that
that behavior is as setified and rewarded. And we've got
the welcome matt rolled out, we've got the vacancy sign on,
and they go to the front.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Of the line. That's not right.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I just put this on my calendar for next week.
After the holiday, I'll be going back to Michigan. But
when I come back, sitting down once again with Andy
Justice at Trajan Wealth and during this meeting a phone consultation.
This would be my third by the way, so bringing
up to date in the process firsthand as I'm experiencing it.
He is going to assign a portfolio manager to my account.
(19:36):
Now where I'm starting is a level of investment that
includes an IRA, pretty simple, pretty basic. But once I
get into a higher level of investment, the doors open
up for me into stock portfolio options a little more complicated,
but you have the team in place at Trajan Well
to help you along in this process. It is a
unique experience because Jeff Junior, a veteran Trajan Wealth CEO,
(19:59):
he appreciated it's the importance of true independence for every
individual out there looking to invest in their retirement and
build their wealth. He did it for his own mother
who didn't have a lot of money to invest in
a lot of these outfits. You got to get to
a certain level a dollar amount before they'll even talk
to you. That is not the case at Trajan Wealth,
and you can find out more today. Set up your
(20:19):
own first in person free one on one consultation with
Andy or somebody else in one of the following three
locations in the Denver Metro, Broomfield, Greenwood Village, and Loveland.
The phone number to call is seven two oh four
zero five thirty three hundred. That's seven two oh four
zero five thirty three hundred, or online at Trajanwealth dot
com t r a ja n Wealth dot com. For Trajanwealth,

a proud sponsor of Ryan Shuling Live is. The reservice
is offered through Trajan Wealth LLC and SEC Registered Investment Advisor,
paid advertisement. I hear the words Aaron treatment and care,
and my skin crawls when they associate that with this
(21:03):
gender reassignment frankin surgery. Do you have that same reaction
when you hear those buzzwords.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
We're exactly on the same page. What a euphemism. There
is nothing caring about what they're doing. It is harm,
it is mutilation, and it's not treating the underlying mental
health symptoms. So it's also not treatment. And I shutter
at the word gender. I mean the whole firm gender
affirming care is a euphemism. But to me there are
zero genders, there are two sexes, zero genders, and infinite personalities.
(21:32):
We need to stop using their language.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Always well spoken on the topic, Aaron Lee. Just a
short while ago, after SCOTUS affirm Tennessee's ability to limit
this so called gender affirming care transsurgeries performed on kids,
Tennessee decided to outlaw that, and as a state, through
the federalism that we enjoy, Scotis decided that states are
(21:54):
free to make those decisions. That was big, and we've
been building momentum in this fight to protect kid and
one of those who experienced this firsthand is our next guest,
Simon A. Maya Price, diagnosed with gender dysphoria at fourteen,
socially transitioned at sixteen, but then returned to living, as
he puts it, to his natal sex, the sex that
(22:15):
he was born into, that body that he has. And
he's one of the organizers of a protest at three
hospitals being investigated by the FBI for child gender mutilation,
including Children's Colorado Aurora campus that Aurora protests is scheduled
for Tomorrow, Wednesday, July second, from eleven am to one pm.
(22:37):
Entirely peaceful, not mostly peaceful, entirely peaceful for those two
hours eleven am to one pm Mountain Time out on
the sidewalk next to the main entrance sign. And Simon
is one of the main organizers of that event as well.
Joining us now in Ryan Schuling Live, Simon, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Hey, thanks for having me now.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I bullet pointed your story, but I'd like you to
kind of go into more depth, if you would, for
our listening audience, and just exactly what happened with you, your
state of mind, your confusion, and then what brought you back.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well, it's a long story that I'll try to make
it pretty brief. So growing up, I was a bit unusual.
I had undiagnosed autism. I was a little bit gender
non conforming. In seventh and eighth grade, I received a
lot of homophobic bullying. It was called the esther on
a daily basis. One kid threatened to kill me. Actually,
in ninth grade, I transferred to a new school and
(23:29):
at this school I learned about the gender unicorn in
health class. And this is this is a graphic which
presents gender identity, gender expression, and sex has three different
spectrums and you get to choose where you are right,
and that seam full. I lost my friend group, and
then a week later I was sexually assaulted by an
(23:50):
older boy, which then led me to seek help at
Boston Children's Hospital, where I saw a therapist. After joining
my schools what was then called Gay Street Alliance, I
learned about this thing called gender dysphoria, and I learned
that there was a concrete set of steps to take
to remediate my issue. So I came out as transgender
(24:12):
to my therapist at Boston Children's and she immediately affirmed me.
When I was fourteen years old, I remember sitting in
my pediatrician's office. I told my pediatrician that I was
feeling these dysphoric feelings, and he asked my father, who
was refusing to take me to the gender clinic, would
you like a dead son or a living daughter.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Yeah, I've heard that phrase before. Aaron Lee, who I
know you probably have crossed paths with. That's exactly what
they told her about her daughter. Would you rather have
a living son or a dead daughter? And it's this language,
and it's how I began the segment there in my
conversation with Aaron Lee, they tried to manipulate this language,
gender affirming care well, to me, Simon, what gender affirming
(24:55):
care would have been in your case was to affirm
the gender that you were born into a ual sexual identity,
and to take the steps through counseling, which is fine,
people experience genders for you, it's a real thing. But
rather than force you into transition and all the complications
that go with that, maybe reel it back in a
little bit. Okay, let's slow down, let's talk this through.
(25:16):
Do you think that approach would have been effective in
your case?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
And to a certain extent it was. I'm very lucky
to have a well read, statistically educated, and strong father
who basically shouted my pediatrician out of the room when
he said this. He actually quit a year later, and
my father found me a new therapist out of private practice.
(25:42):
And I can't tell you his name because here in
Massachusetts where I'm from, it's against the law to do
anything but affirm a transgendered identified child's gender. And with
this therapist and with my life experiences, I was able
to reintegrate with my body through exercise and processing really
the trauma of the homophobic bullying I had experienced in
(26:05):
middle school and let me tell you this a lot
of people don't realize this, but it was easier for
me to live socially in my generation as a transgender
woman than it was for me to live as a bisexual.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Young man, Simon, and Maya Price our guest. Your father's
a hero. By the way, Simon. The thing that I
always come back to in this and it's grooming. It's
what it is in the pediatric field, be it counseling, therapy.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
What have you?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You mentioned the law in Massachusetts, Well, guess what, that's
the same law that's here in Colorado. My point would
be the following, just from an objective, left brain perspective.
If this is so great, if it's such a phenomenal idea,
why do therapists have to be bullied into submission going
you can only affirm a gender change rather than go
(26:56):
into it eyes wide open, full menu of options and go, Well,
could keep your gender and be gay, or be bisexual
like you, Simon, or you could transition. But let's walk
through those options and find the one that's best for you.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why won't they approach it that way? Again?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It comes down to this core lie, this idea that
you will either transition or die. And let me be clear,
I really started to believe that I believed I wouldn't
be alive today because my father refused to let me
transition medically. I really believed that lie. And so mobs
like that start to make sense. When you believe that
(27:35):
you're saving children's lives, it's a short cut to morality.
It's a thought terminating cliche, Simon.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Finally, what is your relationship like with your father today?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I had an argument with him today about tax structures,
but we're very close. He's one of my best friend
in the whole world. And while I hated him for
many years when I was transgender identified, I am going
to be eternally grateful for the man that he is
and the dad that he has been in my life.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Well, it just sounds like a great man, Simon. I
tell you what he loves you. You know that, Simon.
A Maya Price our guest, and again, the Aurora protest
is scheduled for tomorrow, that's Wednesday, July two, from eleven
am to one pm on the sidewalk outside the main
entrance sign.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I guess final things, Simon. For those that are interested.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
In participating or finding out more, where can they go
and what the should they do?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Would advise we're going to issue a press release to
reach out to the people listed on the press release.
You can reach out to me directly on Twitter at
Simon Amaya Price, which is s I M N A
M A y A p R I C E. Send
me a direct message and I'll get you connected with
the right people.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Simon. Appreciate you being a pinch hitter today.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I know you were not originally scheduled Jamie Reid was,
but really appreciate your time and you sharing your story
with us today.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Of course, thanks for having me, all.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Right, Simon A Maya Price one of the leaders in
this movement to fight against the gender transitioning of children,
and especially the physical surgeries and the hormone therapy so called,
and the puberty blockers and all of these things that
pose great health risks long term to young people. These
are decisions they should not be forced into be making.
(29:31):
And this key point once again that Simon made, and
it's in Massachusetts and it's here in Colorado, is a nope,
you declare you the opposite gender. There's only affirming that choice.
There's no questioning it. There's no presenting options. There's no
off ramp. That is child abuse.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
A time out. We're back.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Representative Brandy Bradley scheduled to join us next. She has

Speaker 12 (31:37):
When you become an adult, make adult decisions.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's what we say in this well. We pass bills.
Speaker 12 (31:42):
You can't drink alcohol until twenty one, you can't on
the gun until twenty one, you need.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
A three day waiting period.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
We pass those bills because we think it protects children.
But this is a green light to not protect children.
I don't understand the hypocrisy. You can't even go you
go into pacco and get a beta fish until you're eighteen,
But an eight year old can decide to cut off
healthy body parts and go on lifelong sterility drugs that
(32:08):
are non FDA approved.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
What are we doing?
Speaker 12 (32:12):
What are we saying to the children of Colorado and
to their parents that deserve informed consent after they have
informed consent, that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Is their right to choose.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Representative Brandy Bradley, you heard right there, Republican thirty ninth
District on the House floor speaking out against House Bill
twenty five thirteen twelve, which would eventually be passed and
signed into law, an extreme law by Governor Jared Poulish.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
She joined us now I'm Ryan schuling live.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Brandy, thank you for the time, appreciate it very much,
and just get us caught up on your observations. What
has happened in the meantime between you making that speech.
We've had a ruling by the Supreme Court of the
United States as it pertains to Tennessee's state law on
transing the kids.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Are we building in the right direction? Do we have
the momentum?
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Well?
Speaker 13 (32:56):
Hello, my friend thanks so much for having me on. Yes,
we definitely have the momentum. They can't stop us. A
new parents in the state will not stand down to
gender mutilation and lack of informed consent when it comes
to their children. Aaron Lee, my good friend from Protectives Colorado.
So I has a lawsuit out there. Jennifer Say, my
other good friend from xx.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
XY Athletics has a lawsuit.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Adaahadgee just settled out of court. We're here to say
the line in the sands been drawn. Ran, I've got
four kids to raised in the state. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
And further to that point, Representative Brandy Bradley is throwing
her hat on the ring when it comes to the
minority whip position within the Republican Party and the House
as Ryan Armagoss is leaving for greener pastors, at least
for himself professionally in Arizonas. So, Representative Bradley just take
us through what led to that decision. Why you feel
you're the right person.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
For the job.
Speaker 13 (33:46):
You know, I think we need a conservative in leadership.
I think that we've been making too many deals with
the people that are train wrecking our state. Where the
second lea safe state where the fourth highest and rate
temphias and trafficking of children, and it's kind of stop
making bills with the people that have a one party
rule that are ruining our state. And I'm ready to
step up to the plate and be part of leadership
(34:08):
and make it known that we're not making deals with them.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
She's a fierce voice and a leader out there already,
and you've seen her, no doubt featured in the clips
that I have there and certainly in the battle against
a lot of these awful bills that the Democrats have
pushed through the General Assembly and onto Jared Pulis's desk,
including the gun grab bill.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Representative Brandy Bradley our guest.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
So I'm a big team player, team guy here, Brandy,
and I'm looking at kind of.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
The outlook of what is going to happen with the
Power Center.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Let's say that you are successful in this quest and
your relationship with Rose Peglsi and ty Winner leadership already
established there in the house. How you might be similar
to Ryan Armagass, how you might be different, and where
you think it goes from here?
Speaker 13 (34:54):
Well, I give everyone the benefit of the dout. I
think I'm a proven leader. I think I'm a proven
spokesperson for the people my district, not only for them,
but the people in Colorado. And I think that leadership
demands respect. I've gotten several text messages from Democrats saying
please run, Actually, please run for minority leader. You aren't
bought out by lobbyists. You are transparent, You are clear
(35:17):
with what your decisions are and how you stand. And
people like that want people in leadership no matter whether
you like them or not. Leaders demand a certain amount
of respect.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Represented Brandy Bradley in the thirty ninth district, a candidate
to be the next House Minority Whip. Now, Brandy, the
Big Beautiful Bill just passed the Senate. It's going back
to the House, hopefully to President Trump's desk, and we
hope by July fourth. How you think that impacts Colorado
and where that leaves us as a state, Well.
Speaker 13 (35:45):
The Democrats will tell you the Big Beautiful Bill is
going to be the demise of Colorado. But for the
last two decades they have had almost one party rule
and they've spent five hundred and fifty million dollars funding
a legal immigrant. So tell me what that's gotten us.
Forty third worst and roads the kids can't read and
write at grade level. You're going to blame the Congress
(36:06):
for a one bill when you have been surmising our
state for the last ten or so years. No, we
can't blame the big beautiful bill for that. We have
got to clean up Colorado. We got to get our
streets safer, and we've got to quit funding the legal immigrants.
When seniors can't even afford their property taxes and prescription
drugs and helplessness veterans are spending nights out on our streets.
(36:27):
That's not how we reward the people, the good men
and women that have heard our country.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
This has been such a battle in the General Assembly
in the mighty nineteen and then adding.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
To that number.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
And hopefully we'll get better in the next election cycle.
But it's tough sledding out there for Republicans in this state,
yourself included Representative Bradley. But we've seen what's happened, what's
come down the pike, the gun grab bill, which we hope.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Ultimately is overturned by the Supreme Court.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I believe it will be the infringements on free speech
when it comes to religious exemptions. We just saw camp
Idra Hodgie settle the lawsuit, but that is not a
done deal. And then obviously transing the kids. We've talked
about that as well. Just the horrors of thirteen twelve
and that being signed into law.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I mean, what's next.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
What is the biggest battle that you see on the
horizon coming into the next session.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
Oh, I think that we still battle primal rights. But
I think the Democrats are going to self implode because
they all want their pet projects to go through. You've
got a governor that wants to build a bridge to nowhere.
You've got a governor that wants to build this rail
system that no one's going to ride. And I think
that I saw it last session, the Democrats going after
their governor. I think as they try to fuel their
(37:36):
pet projects, they're going to completely disassemble, is what I
think is going to happen. They're going to be fighting
each other. I've already seen it. I've already been contact
over session. It's amazing when Democrats reach out to a
conservative Christian to ask for help.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Finally represented Bradley, Where can people go to find out
more about your campaign for minority with and just have
a conversation with you.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
Bradley frco is my Twitter. I'm pretty responsive on that
that if you want to reach out to me, Brandy
Bradley FRHD thirty nine dot com.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
There it is.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Representative Brandy Bradley could be the next Minority Whip in
the Colorado General Assembly House.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Always appreciate your time, Brandy. Go back and enjoy your summer.
Speaker 13 (38:13):
Thanks Ryan, thanks for having me on. I appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Always enjoy our conversations, your responses at five seven seven
three nine. When we come back, we have another installment
of hot takes from President Donald Trump at Alligator Alcatraz today.
What a trip that was. Back with more Ryan Schuling
Live after this
Oh, thank you, Wow, thank you. Y You know, I'm
waiting and listening to these wonderful words.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And they are music in my ears.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
But I was also wondering how we're doing because I
know this is prime time.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It shows that I care about you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because I'm here and I probably should be there.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
President Trump touting the historic impact of the Big, Beautiful
Bill and what it will have on the lives of Americans,
and Senate Republicans deliver him a major win, voting last
hour to approve the bill following a marathon session.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
So the Senate made its way through the night and
those negotiations to get the GOP holdouts on board, and
the effort appears to have worked, with Republicans winning over
Alaska Senator Lisa Rikowski, vice President Vance stepping in to
provide the tie breaking vote needed to get that bill
across the finish line.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
On this vote, the Ya's are fifty, the na's are fifty,
the Senate being evenly divided, The Vice President votes, and
the affirmative of the bill as amended is passed.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
The bill now heads back to the House, and the
Freedom Caucus is already ripping the Senate version of the
proposal for adding to the National Devisit House. Fraey mc
cox chairman Andy Harris is among those lawmakers who have
publicly said they're a no.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
On the bill.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
John Robert Sandra Smith. On the passage of the Big
Beautiful Bill, there were three no votes from Republicans in
a fifty three forty seven majority. Ran Paul Long against
this bill. No surprise there. Tom Tilli is probably going
to get primary to North Carolina, maybe by Laura Trump
and then Susan Collins. I think that was a save
face vote. You know, Michael Brown talks a lot about her.
(01:38):
He knows her quite well from his time in the
Bush administration when she was a senator from Maine. She's
still that same senator from Maine. There used to be
another one of those kind of watery, wishy, washy moderate
Rhino Republicans in Maine. They had two Republican women senators.
The other was Olympia Snow and now of course Angus King,
(01:58):
who presents himself as an independent, but he caucuses with
the Democrats, and like Bernie Sanders as an independent, votes
almost lockstep with the Democrats. So to get a Susan
Collins from a state like Maine, I think you kind
of have to take it because even in Maine's second
congressional district where Jared Golden, a Democrat, represents, I mean,
(02:20):
Trump won that district. And in Maine, like Nebraska, they
split up their electoral votes based on congressional district and
then the statewide winner of the popular vote gets the
two electoral votes that are assigned for the senators. That's
how you're allotted your electoral votes. It's the total number
of representatives in the House. And then of course every
state has two senators, so like here in Colorado, we
(02:42):
have eight House members, two senators, total of ten ten
electoral votes. But all that to say, it's a really
fine line to get even somebody like Susan Collins across
the line and have a bear majority in the Senate
of a Republican advantage. She votes Republican, and I think
when it matters, she was given cover in this instance.
(03:03):
In my belief, it's purely strategic on her part, so
she can go back to her voters say, hey, I
stood up to Donald Trump on the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm a moderate. I'm not always you.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Know, super maga conservative. On a lot of these things,
and maybe that'll be enough to givince their voters to
keep her in there, I guess. But had she been
a deciding vote, let's say the fifty first vote, so
it doesn't go to Vice President jd Vance for the
tie break, I don't think Susan Collins votes against the bill.
They were able to bring Lisa Murkowski along. Now she's
(03:35):
a much different story. If there weren't ranked choice voting
in Alaska, Kelly Shibaka would have won that primary, the
Republican primary, and would have defeated Lisa Murkowski and been
a true America First, conservative populist senator from Alaska. And
Alaska is a red enough state where we shouldn't be
putting up with the likes of Lisa Murkowski. Susan Collins.
(03:56):
Main that's one thing. Lisa Murkowski and Alaska that is
quite another. Much like Tom tillis North Carolina. Now North
Carolina is you know, it's kind of that elusive goal
for Democrats, the way that Minnesota is for Republicans can't
quite win Minnesota in electoral college presidential election. Democrats can't
(04:17):
quite win North Carolina. Same thing. Unless you go back
to Barack Obama. He won it the first time, he
lost it the second time to Mitt Romney. So again,
even a Tom tillis that? What are we putting up
with a guy like that in North Carolina for? I
don't know, but Murkowski was promised some sweetener. This is
how it works. We know the sausage factor. If you
enjoy you know, Italian sausage, don't go to the sausage
(04:39):
factory to see how it's made, or you'll never want
to eat it again. Right, that's the whole metaphor. That's
the case also with Congress. What happens behind closed doors,
the promises that are made, the deals, the smoke filled rooms,
the cigars, all that sort of thing. And Murkowski was
promised something and she gave kind of a hat tip
and a wink and a nod maybe to the House,
saying that while she voted yes, she's hopeful the House
(05:02):
will make some changes. Now. I don't know specifically what
that means, because she tends to lean left when it
comes to spending and social programs.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I mean, she's.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Barely a Republican really, But my hope is that the
House overrides what the Senate parliamentarian did. This is an
appointed position by a Democrat Biden. And why John fun
has held this woman in place, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's totally up to him. He's the majority leader of
the Senate.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Scuttler, punter her, get her out of there, or flat
out ignore her. Because she raised the threshold from a
simple majority fifty one to forty nine vote on removing
Medicaid from illegal aliens, and they were not able to
get past the filibuster proof threshold of sixty which she decided.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Who are these people?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
These judges come out of the woodwork, liberal judges from
circuits that don't affect the rest of the nation, and
they decide that they're going to stop Trump executive orders,
policy decisions, terry strategy, and that all was knocked down
by the Supreme Court of the United States thankfully recently.
But this Senate parliamentarian, all these technicalities the Democrats are
(06:10):
pulling out of the woodwork to block the Republican agenda.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That one woman again not elected. Who is she?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Why is she? What gives her the power for her
to have be able to make that kind of decision
is ridiculous. And the members of the House, especially that
House Freedom Caucus, that John Roberts has talked about. Here
is that Representative Andy Harris and what he views as
the state of the big beautiful bill now that it's
gone through some changes in the Senate.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
This is not ready for prime time. We support the
president's agenda. The president's agenda was not to raise the
deficit by three quarters of a trillion dollars over the
next ten years. The bottom line is now the House
is going to have its say, this is not going.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
To sail through the House.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
We're going to have to negotiate with the Senate one
more time. And that's just appropriate. That's the way the
legislative process works and the way it should work on
a bill of this size.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
We spoke with Representative Gabe Evans yesterday and I'll have
an encore presentation that interview because there's so much good
stuff in it. To close out the program, I'll split
that up into two parts in case you missed it,
or even if you heard it the first time, you
can really hone in on the details as he gives
us a look inside that process. That Representative Andy Harris,
Republican Maryland, the only Republican representing Maryland in the House,
(07:21):
gives us right there. Chip Roy also not a fan.
This was in part of the report from Aisha Hasni
As she continues, right here, thanks.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
For moving fast already in the House, and that is
because Democrats, the leadership there is already summoning their entire
conference back to the Hill immediately for a conference wide
meeting later tonight. And the Rules Committee, i am told,
is going to meet in the next thirty minutes to
start reviewing the Senate's version of this bill for now.
Though over in the Senate, celebrations over this big, beautiful
(07:54):
bill finally got through the upper chamber after an almost
twenty five hour long vote to rama desprite three GOP knows.
And those three GOP knows were Senators Ran Paul, tom
Tellis and Susan Collins, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski saving Republicans
today with a yes. After some last minute deal making,
(08:16):
Senate Republicans doubled the funding to rural hospitals from twenty
five billions to fifty billion, and that is meant to
try to offset any issues that would arise from those
Medicaid cuts in this bill. Now, Democrats drop tried and
tried and tried to delay by offering up amendments up
until the very last moment, and then listen to this
(08:37):
Leader Schumer raising a point of order forcing Republicans to
strip the bill of its name, the Big Beautiful Bill,
so it won't officially in legislative text.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We called that anymore.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
House Conservatives have big problems with what the Senate just did, though,
and that is where we look to now. The Senate
was unable to include a provision to remove illegal immigrants
from Medicaid, so that's a problem for some Conservatives, and
the House Room Caucus claims that the Senate's bill adds
six hundred and fifty one billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
To the deficit.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Speaker can only lose three Republicans, and he is already
facing many many angry conservatives.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
This is the.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Senate wanting to try to save some for their home states,
like Senator Vskowski for Alaska, trying to get giveaways to
perpetuate the medicaid money laundering scam in Alaska. It may
not be today, it may not be this week, but
we're going to deliver on the tax cuts, spending cuts,
and the border funding necessary to save this country.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
And despite that, Sandra, President Trump just said that he
believes that this is going to actually pass a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Faster and easier in the House.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
We shall see he might actually have to get involved directly.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
And again my conversation with Representative Gabe Evans coming up
to close out the program. We began the Monday show
with him, and so a lot of you only listen
to maybe even one segment or one hour at tops
and don't get a chance to hear everything. And maybe
you didn't get a chance to hear the podcast. So
I want to make sure we provide that opportunity. And
in that conversation, what you'll hear is his description of
(10:09):
the job that Speaker Mike Johnson has done with a
bare majority in the House.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
This is not easy.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
You've often heard me praise albeit very you know, reluctantly.
Nancy Pelosi, Now she had these squad members popping off
Ayanna Presley, aoc Corey bush Ilhan, Omar Rashida.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Talib Ba bah bah Bah.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
But at the end of the day, she brought them
in and she shushed them, and she got them on board,
and they did what they were told, and they were
able to lock everybody in and pull in the same direction,
and no matter what their ends are, whatever their motives are,
their policy positions are. She Nancy Pelosi did a very
effective job as Speaker at whipping together those votes. Now
(10:53):
Mike Johnson needs to do the same on the Republican side,
and that is something that Congressman Evans has pointed out
as a tremendous skill of his that whenever he's been doubted,
and it's happened several times, as many as five according
to Gabe Evans, every single time Speaker Johnson has delivered.
Now is Mike Johnson my favorite? Was he my first
(11:14):
choice for Speaker? Did I think Kevin McCarthy should have
been ousted in the first place? My answer to all
of those is no, because I always want, as I
stress on the show, a pragmatic, practical approach with priorities
based in principle. That's it, simply said, those priorities in
(11:36):
order not going to get everything you want in an
ideal world. Like Dandy Don Meredith said on Monday Night
Football so many years ago, if ifs and butts were
candies and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right, Well, this is politics.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
And unless you have some kind of filibuster proof majority
in the Senate and a tremendous advantage in the House.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It is possible, it can happen.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
We saw the Republican revel of nineteen ninety four led
by Newt Gingridge, spearheaded by Rush Limbaugh, and much to
the chagrin of President Bill Clinton at the time.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
What did that do? That brought Bill Clinton to the
middle and he.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Ostensibly governed as a moderate from that point forward. He
wanted to make deals with Newt Gingrish. They balanced the
budget twice and in spite of the Monica Lewinsky business,
President Clinton left with pretty high marks in terms of
approval ratings from the American people.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And why is that?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Because the Republicans had the juice in the House, in
the Senate, and if Bill Clinton wanted to get anything done,
he needed to come to the table.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And make a deal. In this case, the majorities are
so small.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
And even though fifty three forty seven sounds pretty good,
telling you some of these Senate races, if you look back,
and maybe you're not thinking about this, but in twenty
twenty four he had really good candidates. Mike Rogers in
my home state of Michigan barely lost to Alyssa Slotkin.
A Democrat. He had a strong candidate in Wisconsin almost
on seat Tammy Baldwin, and had these races where Republicans
(13:01):
could have run up the score and maybe not gotten
to sixty, but they certainly could have gotten about fifty five,
maybe even fifty six some of these narrowly defined races,
and the map favors them once again in the Senate
races on the docket for twenty twenty six. But with
this narrow majority, your priorities have to change a little
bit in terms of who are you hurting together. Well,
(13:23):
you heard from Chip Roy, you heard also from Maryland
Representative Andy Harris. We know that there are reliable votes
like a Gabe Evans. He's going to, I think, be
that team player that has that pragmatic approach. I think
he's a principal conservative myself, and I think he's in
America first, agenda driven congressman as well, and he's going
to do what's best for his constituents in his district
(13:45):
and for us here in the state of Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
But understandably, I look.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
At what the Senate has done, and they're trying to
loosen the purse strings again and spend a little bit more.
And I don't like it anymore than Ran Paul does,
or Thomas Massey does, or Chip Roy r Andy Harris does.
But now is the time where the House has to
get to work and figure out what can they do,
what can they cobble together? And now they're going to
have to make like this kind of counter proposal that
(14:10):
they'll put it into the bill once again to stabilize it.
Markowski asked for it, Not sure she's asking for but
then that'll go back to the Senate finally bill and
then hopefully sign. All they need is those fifty votes
jd Vance to break the tie, as he did, and
then it goes to the President's desk. Will that be
done by July fourth? I mean, that's kind of an artificial,
(14:31):
arbitrary deadline. It's something Donald Trump likes, that kind of headline.
I think he'd appreciate that. But in this instance, I
think it would be well served for the House the
Senate to get this done.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Let John Fetterman go to the beach.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
That was pretty funny he was making those remarks earlier
yesterday and get this win. Get this win not just
for Trump, not just for the Republicans, but for the
American people to get this economy back roaring as we
know that it can. Get the stability of those tax
cuts implement have cost certainty going forward, help keep the
(15:04):
rising inflation that we saw under Joe Biden under control.
It's been under wraps largely in these first few months
of Trump's second term, and then with the tax cuts,
spur that economy, put more people, more money into people's pockets,
allow them to decide what they want to do with it.
Spend it, invest it, and fuel that economy and drive
that tax based energy and improve the revenues that are
(15:26):
brought in because a thriving economy means a larger tax base,
more money coming in. But all you're doing is you're
incentivizing and enabling job creators, innovators, hard working Americans to
put their money right back into the economy, but do
it as they see fit for items and goods and
(15:47):
services that they need. And that will define the Trump
economy that we saw roaring back during his first term.
So looking forward to more of that five seven seventy
three nine is where you can send your thoughts along.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Now it's going to shock you to hear that.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Aisha Roscoe of NPR not crazy about this, and then
she drops this interesting reference about Obamacare and the warning
signs about it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well, you know, the.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Waste, fraud and abuse line reminds me of if you
like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, right like,
if you like your if.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You like it, you can keep it. Okay.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Well, when this when the rubber meets the roads and
people start losing their health care, are they all gonna
look like waste, fraud and abuse?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Like that's what you like?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
To me, I'm thinking famous last words, Are you making
a promise that you can live up to? And I
think I do think it'll get through the House because,
as you said, I mean, the pressure is on they
have to deliver something. This is what they got. They're
gonna get something through, but the cost could be.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Enormous now, which I don't know if she unintentionally did this,
but that's a rip on Barack Obama because he was
famous for saying and these words would come back to
haunt him about Obamacare.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Uh. No, that turned out to be not true under Obamacare,
and there are a lot of problems with it that
was almost overturned by Republicans.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Remember Paul Ryan campaign on this promise to.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Revamp or overturn or reconfigure Obamacare, come back with something
that was even better than that, and then John McCain,
Senator Arizona, famously went thumbs down on it, and he
was the deciding vote. And that is something that Donald
Trump never forgot and never forgave, as he continued to
(17:30):
rip John McCain right up until his passing. Let's get
to some of these texts now five seven, seven thirty nine. Ryan,
A lot of the benefits are going to illegals, kids
who were born here with American citizenship, benefits shared with
their illegal family.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm sure are you saying that should be taken away?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Illegal aliens should not receive benefits paid for by the
American taxpayer. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. But the
comparison I always make is if I traveled to any
country and I just show up and I didn't get
there legally, I'm not licensed to stay there, I'm been
authorized to stay there, and I'm a work permit. I
(18:08):
just show up and say, hand me some freebies. I
get Medicaid, I get whatever the Japanese equivalent of Medicare.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is they're gonna laugh at me, kick me out of
the country.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Think about the precedent that sets, and it's already been
set by President Biden said, come on, come on across
a go across the border. You know we got this app.
You don't have to show up for your hearing. Don't
worry about that. You can reside in the country illegally
and will give you all these government goodies.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
You don't have to give us anything.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
You don't have to pay into the system the way
that the American taxpayers do. And oh, by the way, Texter,
to your point, what about those living in poverty here
who are American citizens who we're born here, who work here.
Shouldn't they be first in line? How about our veterans
coming home from war. I don't think illegal aliens should
(18:56):
be allowed to go to the front of the line,
and they do it in so many instances, especially in
sanctuary cities like Denver and sanctuary states like Colorado, that
that behavior is as setified and rewarded. And we've got
the welcome matt rolled out, we've got the vacancy sign on,
and they go to the front.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Of the line. That's not right.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I just put this on my calendar for next week.
After the holiday, I'll be going back to Michigan. But
when I come back, sitting down once again with Andy
Justice at Trajan Wealth and during this meeting a phone consultation.
This would be my third by the way, so bringing
up to date in the process firsthand as I'm experiencing it.
He is going to assign a portfolio manager to my account.
(19:36):
Now where I'm starting is a level of investment that
includes an IRA, pretty simple, pretty basic. But once I
get into a higher level of investment, the doors open
up for me into stock portfolio options a little more complicated,
but you have the team in place at Trajan Well
to help you along in this process. It is a
unique experience because Jeff Junior, a veteran Trajan Wealth CEO,
(19:59):
he appreciated it's the importance of true independence for every
individual out there looking to invest in their retirement and
build their wealth. He did it for his own mother
who didn't have a lot of money to invest in
a lot of these outfits. You got to get to
a certain level a dollar amount before they'll even talk
to you. That is not the case at Trajan Wealth,
and you can find out more today. Set up your
(20:19):
own first in person free one on one consultation with
Andy or somebody else in one of the following three
locations in the Denver Metro, Broomfield, Greenwood Village, and Loveland.
The phone number to call is seven two oh four
zero five thirty three hundred. That's seven two oh four
zero five thirty three hundred, or online at Trajanwealth dot
com t r a ja n Wealth dot com. For Trajanwealth,
(20:43):
a proud sponsor of Ryan Shuling Live is. The reservice
is offered through Trajan Wealth LLC and SEC Registered Investment Advisor,
paid advertisement. I hear the words Aaron treatment and care,
and my skin crawls when they associate that with this
(21:03):
gender reassignment frankin surgery. Do you have that same reaction
when you hear those buzzwords.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
We're exactly on the same page. What a euphemism. There
is nothing caring about what they're doing. It is harm,
it is mutilation, and it's not treating the underlying mental
health symptoms. So it's also not treatment. And I shutter
at the word gender. I mean the whole firm gender
affirming care is a euphemism. But to me there are
zero genders, there are two sexes, zero genders, and infinite personalities.
(21:32):
We need to stop using their language.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Always well spoken on the topic, Aaron Lee. Just a
short while ago, after SCOTUS affirm Tennessee's ability to limit
this so called gender affirming care transsurgeries performed on kids,
Tennessee decided to outlaw that, and as a state, through
the federalism that we enjoy, Scotis decided that states are
(21:54):
free to make those decisions. That was big, and we've
been building momentum in this fight to protect kid and
one of those who experienced this firsthand is our next guest,
Simon A. Maya Price, diagnosed with gender dysphoria at fourteen,
socially transitioned at sixteen, but then returned to living, as
he puts it, to his natal sex, the sex that
(22:15):
he was born into, that body that he has. And
he's one of the organizers of a protest at three
hospitals being investigated by the FBI for child gender mutilation,
including Children's Colorado Aurora campus that Aurora protests is scheduled
for Tomorrow, Wednesday, July second, from eleven am to one pm.
(22:37):
Entirely peaceful, not mostly peaceful, entirely peaceful for those two
hours eleven am to one pm Mountain Time out on
the sidewalk next to the main entrance sign. And Simon
is one of the main organizers of that event as well.
Joining us now in Ryan Schuling Live, Simon, Welcome.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Hey, thanks for having me now.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I bullet pointed your story, but I'd like you to
kind of go into more depth, if you would, for
our listening audience, and just exactly what happened with you, your
state of mind, your confusion, and then what brought you back.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well, it's a long story that I'll try to make
it pretty brief. So growing up, I was a bit unusual.
I had undiagnosed autism. I was a little bit gender
non conforming. In seventh and eighth grade, I received a
lot of homophobic bullying. It was called the esther on
a daily basis. One kid threatened to kill me. Actually,
in ninth grade, I transferred to a new school and
(23:29):
at this school I learned about the gender unicorn in
health class. And this is this is a graphic which
presents gender identity, gender expression, and sex has three different
spectrums and you get to choose where you are right,
and that seam full. I lost my friend group, and
then a week later I was sexually assaulted by an
(23:50):
older boy, which then led me to seek help at
Boston Children's Hospital, where I saw a therapist. After joining
my schools what was then called Gay Street Alliance, I
learned about this thing called gender dysphoria, and I learned
that there was a concrete set of steps to take
to remediate my issue. So I came out as transgender
(24:12):
to my therapist at Boston Children's and she immediately affirmed me.
When I was fourteen years old, I remember sitting in
my pediatrician's office. I told my pediatrician that I was
feeling these dysphoric feelings, and he asked my father, who
was refusing to take me to the gender clinic, would
you like a dead son or a living daughter.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Yeah, I've heard that phrase before. Aaron Lee, who I
know you probably have crossed paths with. That's exactly what
they told her about her daughter. Would you rather have
a living son or a dead daughter? And it's this language,
and it's how I began the segment there in my
conversation with Aaron Lee, they tried to manipulate this language,
gender affirming care well, to me, Simon, what gender affirming
(24:55):
care would have been in your case was to affirm
the gender that you were born into a ual sexual identity,
and to take the steps through counseling, which is fine,
people experience genders for you, it's a real thing. But
rather than force you into transition and all the complications
that go with that, maybe reel it back in a
little bit. Okay, let's slow down, let's talk this through.
(25:16):
Do you think that approach would have been effective in
your case?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
And to a certain extent it was. I'm very lucky
to have a well read, statistically educated, and strong father
who basically shouted my pediatrician out of the room when
he said this. He actually quit a year later, and
my father found me a new therapist out of private practice.
(25:42):
And I can't tell you his name because here in
Massachusetts where I'm from, it's against the law to do
anything but affirm a transgendered identified child's gender. And with
this therapist and with my life experiences, I was able
to reintegrate with my body through exercise and processing really
the trauma of the homophobic bullying I had experienced in
(26:05):
middle school and let me tell you this a lot
of people don't realize this, but it was easier for
me to live socially in my generation as a transgender
woman than it was for me to live as a bisexual.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Young man, Simon, and Maya Price our guest. Your father's
a hero. By the way, Simon. The thing that I
always come back to in this and it's grooming. It's
what it is in the pediatric field, be it counseling, therapy.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
What have you?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
You mentioned the law in Massachusetts, Well, guess what, that's
the same law that's here in Colorado. My point would
be the following, just from an objective, left brain perspective.
If this is so great, if it's such a phenomenal idea,
why do therapists have to be bullied into submission going
you can only affirm a gender change rather than go
(26:56):
into it eyes wide open, full menu of options and go, Well,
could keep your gender and be gay, or be bisexual
like you, Simon, or you could transition. But let's walk
through those options and find the one that's best for you.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why won't they approach it that way? Again?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It comes down to this core lie, this idea that
you will either transition or die. And let me be clear,
I really started to believe that I believed I wouldn't
be alive today because my father refused to let me
transition medically. I really believed that lie. And so mobs
like that start to make sense. When you believe that
(27:35):
you're saving children's lives, it's a short cut to morality.
It's a thought terminating cliche, Simon.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Finally, what is your relationship like with your father today?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I had an argument with him today about tax structures,
but we're very close. He's one of my best friend
in the whole world. And while I hated him for
many years when I was transgender identified, I am going
to be eternally grateful for the man that he is
and the dad that he has been in my life.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Well, it just sounds like a great man, Simon. I
tell you what he loves you. You know that, Simon.
A Maya Price our guest, and again, the Aurora protest
is scheduled for tomorrow, that's Wednesday, July two, from eleven
am to one pm on the sidewalk outside the main
entrance sign.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I guess final things, Simon. For those that are interested.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
In participating or finding out more, where can they go
and what the should they do?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Would advise we're going to issue a press release to
reach out to the people listed on the press release.
You can reach out to me directly on Twitter at
Simon Amaya Price, which is s I M N A
M A y A p R I C E. Send
me a direct message and I'll get you connected with
the right people.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Simon. Appreciate you being a pinch hitter today.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I know you were not originally scheduled Jamie Reid was,
but really appreciate your time and you sharing your story
with us today.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Of course, thanks for having me, all.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Right, Simon A Maya Price one of the leaders in
this movement to fight against the gender transitioning of children,
and especially the physical surgeries and the hormone therapy so called,
and the puberty blockers and all of these things that
pose great health risks long term to young people. These
are decisions they should not be forced into be making.
(29:31):
And this key point once again that Simon made, and
it's in Massachusetts and it's here in Colorado, is a nope,
you declare you the opposite gender. There's only affirming that choice.
There's no questioning it. There's no presenting options. There's no
off ramp. That is child abuse.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
A time out. We're back.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Representative Brandy Bradley scheduled to join us next. She has
thrown her hat into the ring to be the next

Speaker 12 (31:37):
When you become an adult, make adult decisions.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's what we say in this well. We pass bills.
Speaker 12 (31:42):
You can't drink alcohol until twenty one, you can't on
the gun until twenty one, you need.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
A three day waiting period.
Speaker 12 (31:48):
We pass those bills because we think it protects children.
But this is a green light to not protect children.
I don't understand the hypocrisy. You can't even go you
go into pacco and get a beta fish until you're eighteen,
But an eight year old can decide to cut off
healthy body parts and go on lifelong sterility drugs that
(32:08):
are non FDA approved.
Speaker 13 (32:10):
What are we doing?
Speaker 12 (32:12):
What are we saying to the children of Colorado and
to their parents that deserve informed consent after they have
informed consent, that.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Is their right to choose.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Representative Brandy Bradley, you heard right there, Republican thirty ninth
District on the House floor speaking out against House Bill
twenty five thirteen twelve, which would eventually be passed and
signed into law, an extreme law by Governor Jared Poulish.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
She joined us now I'm Ryan schuling live.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
Brandy, thank you for the time, appreciate it very much,
and just get us caught up on your observations. What
has happened in the meantime between you making that speech.
We've had a ruling by the Supreme Court of the
United States as it pertains to Tennessee's state law on
transing the kids.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Are we building in the right direction? Do we have
the momentum?
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Well?
Speaker 13 (32:56):
Hello, my friend thanks so much for having me on. Yes,
we definitely have the momentum. They can't stop us. A
new parents in the state will not stand down to
gender mutilation and lack of informed consent when it comes
to their children. Aaron Lee, my good friend from Protectives Colorado.
So I has a lawsuit out there. Jennifer Say, my
other good friend from xx.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
XY Athletics has a lawsuit.
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Adaahadgee just settled out of court. We're here to say
the line in the sands been drawn. Ran, I've got
four kids to raised in the state. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
And further to that point, Representative Brandy Bradley is throwing
her hat on the ring when it comes to the
minority whip position within the Republican Party and the House
as Ryan Armagoss is leaving for greener pastors, at least
for himself professionally in Arizonas. So, Representative Bradley just take
us through what led to that decision. Why you feel
you're the right person.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
For the job.
Speaker 13 (33:46):
You know, I think we need a conservative in leadership.
I think that we've been making too many deals with
the people that are train wrecking our state. Where the
second lea safe state where the fourth highest and rate
temphias and trafficking of children, and it's kind of stop
making bills with the people that have a one party
rule that are ruining our state. And I'm ready to
step up to the plate and be part of leadership
(34:08):
and make it known that we're not making deals with them.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
She's a fierce voice and a leader out there already,
and you've seen her, no doubt featured in the clips
that I have there and certainly in the battle against
a lot of these awful bills that the Democrats have
pushed through the General Assembly and onto Jared Pulis's desk,
including the gun grab bill.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Representative Brandy Bradley our guest.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
So I'm a big team player, team guy here, Brandy,
and I'm looking at kind of.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
The outlook of what is going to happen with the
Power Center.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Let's say that you are successful in this quest and
your relationship with Rose Peglsi and ty Winner leadership already
established there in the house. How you might be similar
to Ryan Armagass, how you might be different, and where
you think it goes from here?
Speaker 13 (34:54):
Well, I give everyone the benefit of the dout. I
think I'm a proven leader. I think I'm a proven
spokesperson for the people my district, not only for them,
but the people in Colorado. And I think that leadership
demands respect. I've gotten several text messages from Democrats saying
please run, Actually, please run for minority leader. You aren't
bought out by lobbyists. You are transparent, You are clear
(35:17):
with what your decisions are and how you stand. And
people like that want people in leadership no matter whether
you like them or not. Leaders demand a certain amount
of respect.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Represented Brandy Bradley in the thirty ninth district, a candidate
to be the next House Minority Whip. Now, Brandy, the
Big Beautiful Bill just passed the Senate. It's going back
to the House, hopefully to President Trump's desk, and we
hope by July fourth. How you think that impacts Colorado
and where that leaves us as a state, Well.
Speaker 13 (35:45):
The Democrats will tell you the Big Beautiful Bill is
going to be the demise of Colorado. But for the
last two decades they have had almost one party rule
and they've spent five hundred and fifty million dollars funding
a legal immigrant. So tell me what that's gotten us.
Forty third worst and roads the kids can't read and
write at grade level. You're going to blame the Congress
(36:06):
for a one bill when you have been surmising our
state for the last ten or so years. No, we
can't blame the big beautiful bill for that. We have
got to clean up Colorado. We got to get our
streets safer, and we've got to quit funding the legal immigrants.
When seniors can't even afford their property taxes and prescription
drugs and helplessness veterans are spending nights out on our streets.
(36:27):
That's not how we reward the people, the good men
and women that have heard our country.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
This has been such a battle in the General Assembly
in the mighty nineteen and then adding.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
To that number.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
And hopefully we'll get better in the next election cycle.
But it's tough sledding out there for Republicans in this state,
yourself included Representative Bradley. But we've seen what's happened, what's
come down the pike, the gun grab bill, which we hope.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Ultimately is overturned by the Supreme Court.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I believe it will be the infringements on free speech
when it comes to religious exemptions. We just saw camp
Idra Hodgie settle the lawsuit, but that is not a
done deal. And then obviously transing the kids. We've talked
about that as well. Just the horrors of thirteen twelve
and that being signed into law.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I mean, what's next.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
What is the biggest battle that you see on the
horizon coming into the next session.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
Oh, I think that we still battle primal rights. But
I think the Democrats are going to self implode because
they all want their pet projects to go through. You've
got a governor that wants to build a bridge to nowhere.
You've got a governor that wants to build this rail
system that no one's going to ride. And I think
that I saw it last session, the Democrats going after
their governor. I think as they try to fuel their
(37:36):
pet projects, they're going to completely disassemble, is what I
think is going to happen. They're going to be fighting
each other. I've already seen it. I've already been contact
over session. It's amazing when Democrats reach out to a
conservative Christian to ask for help.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Finally represented Bradley, Where can people go to find out
more about your campaign for minority with and just have
a conversation with you.
Speaker 13 (37:56):

that if you want to reach out to me, Brandy

Speaker 2 (38:05):
There it is.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Representative Brandy Bradley could be the next Minority Whip in
the Colorado General Assembly House.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Always appreciate your time, Brandy. Go back and enjoy your summer.
Speaker 13 (38:13):
