I do have a guest today for the second hour.
She's the president of the Paparo Valley Unified School District
school Board, Olivia Flores, will be joining us. There's a
meeting this week that I thought it would be good
(01:47):
to call some attention to some of the agenda items,
So we'll hear from her on some details. Just get
the gist of what's going on. The biggest district in
our county behooves us to kind of keep track of
all of that. You know, I love my school boards
around here. But all that to be said. Top of
the summer to everyone. You know, you know the tides
(02:10):
have turned when the plants in your yard just start
looking like uh.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Just start to be like water me, please help me.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
In May, it's like as gorgeous as it gets and
everything's just blooming and thriving, and you gotta live it
up around here because come mid July, everyone's.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Like, help help me.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I was out watering last night, going not dang it
like I say. You know, when you hear me, if
you listen to me in the springtime, I'm like, yes,
one more rainstorm, let's do it. Let's go prolongs my watering,
my poor plants. Anyways, so it is Midsummer in all
of its joy and just the beginnings of just parched
(02:51):
world around here celebrating still, I'm still celebrating four years
of Mama Bear's Radio. Like I said, it's like a
full month of July lie glory in it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Four years of doing this radio show.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yay us, lucky people, lucky all of us. What a
glorious time to be alive, and what fun we've all had.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Really, I mean, on one.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Hand, who needs who needs those boring decades? That's just whatever,
that's for the boring people. Uh, the crazy ripporn decades,
especially especially the twenty twenties, dude, those this one's been
a whopper. And so I have just been overjoyed to
be to be able to bring twenty twenties brought to
(03:36):
you by Mama Bear's Radio.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was kind of more like it. But at any rate,
it has.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Been a hay of a good time out there, and
I hope everyone is still sort of tracking with me.
You know what, okay, you know what's funny not funny
digress here for a minute or early sidebar. I'm okay.
I was thinking about this a little while ago. I
I've always has been not a particularly outspoken person. Yeah,
(04:04):
some people are just the life of the room wherever
they go, and I'm definitely more reserved and quiet, especially
in social situations. And you know, over the years in
school whatever wasn't necessarily a class clown or anything like that,
but in general in my younger years in adult life,
(04:27):
I've just I've not been afraid to say hard things
or speak up when the time came. And I was
thought of myself as a pretty good communicator in terms
of like explaining something to someone like let me tell
you how it is, or just being able to just
concisely lay out, you know, we're gonna get from A
(04:49):
to B with our little thought pattern here A to
Z or whatever, you know, and think kind of clearly
enough to be able to help someone along the path
way of the thought journey whatever concept it was, you know,
and this is relational personal relationships, that sort of thing,
or even just professional or.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Whatever I like to write.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I've always I like, I'm not a great writer, but
I'll put pen on paper and try and get the
thoughts out. I actually have a fantastic time texting. I
think texting is fun because I text in complete sentences,
and I think that's my way of getting back at
all of these people that have cut corners with the
English language. But at any rate, I do like to
(05:36):
hash through stuff. I love a good big, large, complex
thought or problem or you know, concept to get through
and whatever the subject matter. Anyways, I just I consider
myself unafraid to get said what needs to be said.
(05:56):
Until twenty twenty, I was like, I'm gonna put that
skill to good use. And over the course of the
sort of the mayhem, hear me roar like, I'll say it.
I'm not afraid, and then put a microphone in my face,
give me a radio show, and I'll be a.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Voice for everybody out there.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I'll just some franchise, excuse me, the disaffected whatever, what
are the terms are? Excuse me, the really pissed off people.
I'll get up and say that, and so all of
the parents and I'll you whatever, fine, I'll get loud
and uh then contribute on a vocal basis into the
(06:42):
melee of the times contribute to our movement or whatever
you want to call it. And you know, I was
kind of out there, like I've talked about before on
street corners with the American flag or signatures in a
parking lot for the recall. That was good fun, all
three the ages here the last five years. But but guys,
(07:07):
like lately, and maybe it's because I put on a
couple extra years here and I have changed. Obviously, we
change all the time. You want to grow and change,
So whatever little switch that's been flipped in me, and
it's subtle, but lately, to be super perfectly honest, I've
(07:28):
been a little like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I've been like, I don't want to get into another
stupid conversation about this this thing again, Like how many times.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do we have to rehash the same.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Old dang conversation every you know, it's like the bread
and butter. You just you gotta get your fill, and
you gotta go find your friend, and you gotta go,
oh the latest strife and the daily soap opera and
this happened, and oh my gosh, did you hear that?
And then all roads lead back to all the grievances
of all the crap and the strife and the pile
(08:09):
of dung we are wading through as a nation and
as a planet and as a little puny little human
beings screinging around the planet. But I'm just like, uh, really,
do I have to do? I have to say all
this crap again? Does it need to be said over
(08:31):
and over and over again? Like I'm saying the same
old sing of the same old song. It's like the
Rolling Stones, Like you're gonna get up there on stage
and sing the same dang song you and sing for
five decades or whatever it's been, Like, do we have
to hear it? Can we can we create something new
(08:55):
for ourselves? We watched this dang episode already, it's on rerun.
It's like the Marathon from Hell. So it is beneath
my dignity to a certain extent to like stay static.
(09:16):
I think that's what I'm trying to express lately. And
I don't know, I just have found myself getting testy.
Like if you get wrapped into the same grievance conversation
about the government or avenuwsome my favorite or any dumb
(09:36):
thing that just has been a rough go, I'm vexed.
I'm like, ah, I'm not gonna sit and just wallow
in the static spiral.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Same old nightmare.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Can we lift ourselves up out of this? Can we
find a new way forward to think about life in
a we're satisfying, gratifying way, more positive, productive.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Space for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
So I don't know, I mean, And it's a little
bit like and I have described this before, sort of
a new tact for Mama Bear's Radio, specifically on this
station which is now Schoolhouse Radio. And we're trying to
keep the thick of the politics out of the airwaves here.
And I know I dive a little bit into hot,
(10:32):
hot button issues, and I just it distresses me that
con concerns for children and the environment our children are
growing up in and what is making them sick, and
what is making them mentally ill, and the treatment they're
getting in the schools, and the whole thing is all
wrapped together, and sadly a lot of that has been
(10:53):
turned into like you're a right wing extremist or you're
you know, whatever you're labeled. It's hard to escape that.
But I really have endeavored to make this show in
particular as I've described, like let's get positive, let's talk
about ways to do something. Let's quit wallowing in the muck,
(11:15):
and you know, plan the work and work the plan
and uplift our kids and families, uplift ourselves, uplift our nation.
And I and I think I am still working on
that transition. See I'm so cool, I'm trans so socially
(11:37):
contagious of me. I caught the contagion. But I really
again maybe falter in in in like keeping keeping that
those goggles on. It's easier to kind of fall into,
like I said, the bread and butter kind of meat
and potatoes.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Of getting through the day.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But I I really do prom you and promise myself
in the new Mama Bear's year here right we hit four,
now we're on year five that I'm going to continually
try to work towards that. And I think what sparked
this whole thought path? And boy do I need to
take a break here, So give me just one more
(12:17):
minute to finish this rant and then we'll have a
cleansing commercial break and I'll come back. But you know,
and kind of looking at some stuff that I wanted
to bring up for this first hour, It like one
could construe it is kind of the same old the
same old grief. Like what am I doing? Like I
find over the course of the week, you know, I
find Twitter posts or articles or I kind of rabbit
(12:40):
hole on stuff or something catches my eye that's kind
of in the under the umbrella of Mama Bear's theme
and like you know, and I'm like, well, I like
this because it's going to help me bring up a
topic to reflect on and talk about and kind of
the zeitgeist of all of the different roads we're traveling
down and the multi variable problem are all tough in
(13:01):
it through. So again, you know, so this first hour again,
then cleaning second hour, I have Olivia Flores joining me.
Will be fun to talk about some tangible stuff that's
going on in the in our county, in our school
district here Pawar Valley Unified School District. But you know,
in the meantime, you guys are going to be subjected
(13:22):
to a couple of just where.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Are we at it?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Kind of the the pulse of the nation, the pulse
pulse of what other people are thinking about where are
we in our trajectory, our national trajectory, like healing ourselves
and and uh righting the wrongs and putting this ship
(13:51):
back on on the track. So without further ado, let
me wrap this up and get to my commercial break.
So when I come back, what do we have on tap? Actually,
we have feminism, or the lack thereof. I think last
week I talked a little bit about gen Z, like
the data is showing that the this generation are tacking
(14:13):
back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
They're going to church more.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I have an article about younger women just rejecting this
feminism mania that has just.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Torn apart some really deep.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Innate things about being woman and femininity and raising a
family and really tapping into just sort of human humanity
one on one basics. We are going to talk about, well,
the Trevor Project.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
A little update on that. I have a little audio
for you.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I've been addressing that the last couple of weeks, the
FTC had a full day hearing on the gender madness
the f the FTC has taking a look if there's
been some excuse me, some false advertising, might you say,
(15:05):
in gender affirming care slash mutilating our children. All right,
So that's just a little s Morgas board. I do
want to get back to anxious generation and helping our
kids sort of let go of a few certain things
and get back to being kids. So we will address
all this and more when I come back for my break.
(15:25):
This is Kristin Hurley, Mama Bears Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Mama Bears Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We'll be right back. That both that rolls rassy slow
(16:02):
swall and I was weirding drama. Brad stopped. I've that down,
had trust up, I was thinking about my best how.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
That all speaking out beds.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Welcome back to Mama Bear's Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
All right, guys, So a shocking little graphic crossed my
Twitter feed and it dovestail dovetails nicely with my article.
And this is out of the Federalist by Joy Pullman,
who's one of my favorite woman writers. She writes about family, motherhood, women, kids, families,
(16:55):
you name it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But in the same breath.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Okay, like the for Tilt, we complain about the fertility
rates around here. Holy heck, in Europe. Fertility rates in
Europe and Spain has a one point one two fertility rate. Now, okay,
taking everything with a grain of salt, what of the
(17:19):
I can't read the fine print on this, but seriously,
France is a little better at one point six y three.
Great Britain one point four five, Italy one point one
point eight is the birth rate barely barely having babies,
Germany clocking in at one point three six. What's that one?
(17:41):
You know, my kids are way better at geography. They
played geography games. I think that's Poland one point one one.
Holy heck, Sweden's one point four to two. This is
a geography game one point four to seven. I can
tell which ones I Irland ah okay, Greece one point
(18:03):
two four, my ancestor the home of my ancestors.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Gosh, Europe, get with it.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I actually don't even have the stats on the United
States at my fingertips. I should, but good grief, way
below the replacement the right get busy is this part.
It's a symptom of an overall effort, the destruction of something.
(18:35):
The cult, you know, the what is the bright bart
politics is downstream of culture kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
We've got we've got kind of an avalanche of a
lot of things coalescing here in our world. And as
a result, no one's doing the family and have babies thing.
If they they're doing it, there at one point one
too children per family. It's not gonna help anyone out.
(19:07):
Such such an interesting phenomenon, and I think just such
a steep decline. Like last week I was talking about
the church going rate obviously since the fifties and sixties
is steep decline. And we finally put the brakes on
that decline. And with the thanks gen Z, the little
(19:28):
kidlets coming up who are just starting to inherently reach
out for something on a spiritual level. They're feeling wrecked
on down here on earth and just sensing that we
need to turn our attentions to something greater than our
(19:48):
massed up little self down here.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They're going to church more.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And I just pray that on the same side of
that coin here, And what this article by Joy Pullman
is deal with is are the younger set gonna ditch
for good this feminism disease that has really compromised women
on so many levels and compromised the family and compromised
(20:17):
our human race.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
We're at a major baby deficit now.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Coupled with this, of course, is the sperm counts are
in the toilet and women are you know you had
a certain number of injections recently in your in your
arm jobs and arms.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Thank you poetry.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You're having trouble conceiving and keeping a pregnancy. The data
is out on that, there's actual actual science. Trust the science.
People serious problems as a result for young women trying
to have babies. So we're shooting ourselves in the foot
on many levels. But is Joy Pullman points out here?
(21:01):
And I want to just treat this one briefly before
a behind schedule on my next break. Here those pesky
commercial breaks legacy publication. So the title of this article,
CNN melts down over women getting happier by ditching feminism
for femininity, and Joy Pullman says, you know, legacy publications
(21:23):
creatively blame hatred and misogyny for younger women seeking life
patterns outside of feminism. And I just thought there were
so many really good points here food for thought. Let
me try to skim through this and pull out some
of the main points.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
She starts.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Over the weekend, CNN published a hysterical feature and I
actually went read it, wailing over feminism's fading appeal to
younger women. It comes a few months after similar New
York Times feature. Of course, the legacy publications blame, as
she said, hatred and misogyny for younger women seeking life
patterns outside of feminism.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
She says, you see, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Not patronizing or psychotic to tell women we can't make
choices that cluster b Covens don't approve of. CNN's opening
replicates that of a Rolling Stone article from twenty twenty three,
sock puppeting feminist crankiness through a zoomer who patulantly complains
that alluring culture content tricked her into reading non leftist ideas,
(22:26):
and so this girl Gabrielle in the article quote, felt
she was being lured in with pesky pop culture content,
only then to be exposed to right wing propaganda and
the stove, so the story goes, There are more publications
coming out like the glossy Cosmopolitan magazines or seventeen seventeen
(22:47):
or whatever it was. There are some more conservative based
culture and women content out there. Everyone loves a good
people magazine, but there's you know there, there's fashion and
culture wrapped up in magazines that are appealing to women
(23:10):
who would like to get.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To freely enjoy.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Being a feminine woman and wanting a.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You know, one on one not.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Polyamorous relationship, which is like the latest thing whatever with
your binary, your non binary, fourteen different partners and you know,
multiple abortion abortions a year whatever that lifestyle. The women
are rejecting that, and they're saying, I want a healthy
one on one relationship with a with a husband, and
(23:43):
I want to grow a family and enjoy my children
and have you know, just back to basics, how it's
been for oh say, thousands and thousands of years here
on the planet. And boy, that's shocking. So what happened
was an a'll pair of phrase in the CNN story
was saying, well, these unwitting gen Z girls found content
(24:10):
online that they agreed with. One watched a little piece
on like dental Veneers or something like that. How some
Hollywood stars now are going without their teeth all fixed up.
Like you ever watched different anything like even as recent
as like the eighties, and you're like, wow, you have
(24:33):
really bad teeth. There's no need for like the glowing
pearly whites all marching in alignment whatever anymore aesthetically or something.
And so this unwitting unsuspecting gen Z or clicks to
like or clicks the heart button or whatever for this
posting and then is shocked and horrified when she is
(24:54):
clickbaited over to this in this magazine in particular called Heavy,
which is a kind of a more conservative based, you know,
fashion magazine kind of thing. They're like, they're horrified that
they're being dragged into right wing propaganda. Enjoy pullman coos
oh no, not accidentally encountering conservative conservative ideas online. Internet
(25:18):
censorship is supposed to protect us from such horrors. It's
a shocking bait and switch. See, you find yourself agreeing
with a critique of some pop star antics and then
and you shut down your intuition and self development after
discovering you are agreeing with a yucky conservative. Of course
this is tongue in cheek, but it is a sign
(25:43):
of the times. If there's a market for something, if
there's people out there that a crave just a more scene,
and it doesn't take a lot, I might postulate to
just have kind of a safe and sane publication that
isn't so propagandized in one way and super just over
(26:03):
the top, in your face with the.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
You know, culture of the day.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But again with the feminism ideals that had got their
their startup the sixties, I suppose and have really morphed
into this march in lockstep ideology that women have to
reject everything it is that's innate about them in order
(26:35):
to be happy, and the data is out there again
the studies show that that takes you down a road
of of more unhappiness and dissatisfaction with your life.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And the mythology of.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, you're going to be trapped in a relationship with
a man, and the man is going to tell you
what to do and order you around, and you're going
to be a barefoot slave to some nazi like the
fear mongering with the narrative that it to give in
to your like, you're a woman, what are you going
(27:15):
to do on this planet that's fulfilling? Oh maybe I'll
have some babies and have a family. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no, can't do that. It's such a twisted, twisted narrative.
And the chickens are coming home to roost, Thank you
very much, Barack Obama's past or whoever said that, the
(27:38):
feminist chickens are coming home to roost. And again the
people are finding out for themselves, discovering this is not
working out on some level, We've really dug ourselves.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
In a hole.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
And younger women are catching on and they're just saying, well,
I want I want.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
An avenue and and a.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Culture and an environment and other people in society to
align with how I feel about.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Like it is just okay.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
To enjoy the things that God gave me, the ability
to have kids and raise it in like the bare
bones basic joys of child rearing and having a home
and building a family and a legacy and that sort
of thing. And let me see if there's one. Well,
(28:30):
I mean, there's so many fun quotes from this.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Joy.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Pullman says, it is, after all, the feminine distinctive to
nurture life. Women are the life givers, men are the
life guardians. Together we preserve humanity. Conversely, when separated and
pushed into war via feminism, the sexes kill humanity. Rejecting
(28:58):
what the sexes naturally do together. Raised children is the
core of feminism. As with leftism, feminism is a deaf cult.
It turns women away from our unique and necessary life
giving capacities. It has morphed the standard American life into
a pattern predicated on sterility and murder.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
To follow the.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Feminist life script, women must live like a lonely neutered man.
We have to pursue sixteen to eighteen years of education
quote unquote, and then another two decades of getting careers
on track and paying for that education before we even
start to think of a family. And during that time
we have to kill any life we create while fulfilling
our natural urges to procreate, or we lose our idolized careers.
(29:46):
She goes on, I'm gonna have to take my break here,
But anyways, I concur wholeheartedly, and I really think that
in a little bit of that, can we get back
to basics spirit of Wow, have we really dog ourselves
a big ditch here?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
How do we get out of this?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
What's working and what's not?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And how about we strip away all of the facade
and the veneer and the agendas and the couldas should
would as and a little bit of back to basics
wouldn't kill anyone. And I encourage I encouraged my daughters.
I encourage anyone out there who's yelling. I'm like, have babies,
(30:31):
have lots, have a family, have tons, have more than
you think you want. And then you're checking off life's
self fulfillment boxes. You're not going to find it anywhere else.
Only shadow of what you could achieve if you kind
of just embrace what God has given all of us.
(30:54):
All right, everybody back back to basics. Here commercial breaks.
Oh boy, this is Mama Bears Radio, Kristin Hurley here.

(32:53):
bit of from an article talking about this, the Federal
Trade Commission to investigate deception, fraud and fraud in the
transgender industry because it's an industry they're selling you. And anyways,
the hearing of the whole day that happened to this
(33:14):
was like last week, is out there if you want
to search for it as an aside, related sort of
related you're here in California. Just an fyi, there are companies,
in the overall greater effort of many, many amazing Americans
(33:35):
who would.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Like to we're supposed to be taking the politics out
of everything here at people, can we get back to it?
But in the.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Endeavor to help corporations let go of whatever requirement they
feel that they have to cater to certain political party
ideals and get all politics out, suppose they think they
have to we have to compete, ye slash. We have
(34:07):
to bend the knee or else will get canceled is
more like it. But there are some companies that are
still holding out for some of this stuff that is
just a betrayal.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
In my opinion to their shareholders.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
It's a betrayal to everyone else as a society to
allow the blackmailing and the bend the kneeing, and we're
going to cancel culture you if you don't add XYZ
to our demands. I just think that's a detriment to
everyone in general. Now, having said that, you're an American,
(34:41):
start a company. Darn it, you go nuts.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You have at it.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
You start your company. You can uphold any value your
company can be created in the image of you.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Go nuts.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Right, it's your company. You can hire who you want,
you can say what you want, you can sell what
you want within certain proprietary limits and under the you know,
the rule of law.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
But have at it. On the other hand, when.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Big national companies are co opted and forced.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Into the.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Excuse me, social contagion of the day and feel like
they have to adopt whatever ideology it is or else,
I just think that's a disservice to everyone overall, Like
do we all want do we need that in every
aspect of our lives commerce included? Okay, But having said that,
(35:43):
there are certain companies out there that I just think
is behooves everyone to note they are still they are
athletic apparel companies still supporting and funding men competing in
women's sports. These are your favorite brands people, Athleta, Lulu, Lemon,
lmn T I think otherwise known as Element, the athletic
(36:05):
brewing company. That's new to me, better help excuse me,
Garnier Nike. That's not a big surprise. But if you
choose as an American, somebody can start a company.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
And do whatever the hell they want with it.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
You're an American. You've got dollars in your pockets. You know,
whatever the heck you want with your dollars.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
You know, if you just think that I'd like to
get back to normal, please where there are not men
in women's.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Sports taking the excuse me, equality out of women's sports
out from under them. You know, you may one nothing
twice Athleta. Your pants don't really fit all that great anyways.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Sorry. Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Federal Trade Commission to Investigate Deception Fraud in Transgender Industry. Okay,
do you have an article here about this? I wanted
to read it just a little bit. Come on computer.
This is by Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, and she writes doctors
who pitched irreversible surgeries and sterilizing hormone regimens to minors
(37:21):
struggling with gender dysphoria. Yes, it's kind of oh my gosh,
I'm going to interrupt myself.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Scott D.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Gold, would you like to be thanked on air? He's
snuck in my favorite flavor of Jim Waed. This fantastic.
I can go even more nuts now, Okay, good now
I'm fueled. Now I'm fueled up. Sorry, minor interrupt. The
Jim Wheed can around here is a highly prized item,
(37:50):
very coveted, and he just delivered unto me a pair
of pineapple flavor.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Jim Whed is a sponsor of the schoolhouse radio station here.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Doctors who pitched irreversible surgeries and sterilizing hormone regimens to
minors struggling with gender dysphoria may have illegally deceived patients
may have but quotes around that and their parents. According
to the Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, the statute
(38:20):
that created the FTC authorizes it to prevent quote, unfair
or deceptive practices affecting consumers. The FTC hosted a day
long workshop called the dangers of gender firming care for
miners to hear from stakeholders and determine if the transgender
industry has deceived families. You think, but you know, Okay,
(38:43):
quit the snark, Kristen, knock it off.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Let's be real.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
It's well documented w path files. These doctors know they
cannot get informed consent out of the minor children and
their parents for these absolutely debilitating and excuse me, mutilating
surgeries and practices that they are selling. And if you
(39:16):
look at the industry growth, and it is an industry, people,
this is not medicine. The dollar signs have exploded over
the last decade or whatever it's been for this treatment
quote unquote treatment informed by the findings of the workshop.
(39:36):
And again that workshop, it is online. You can find
it if you toot around for it. The FTC will
issue a public request for information on transgender medical interventions
next week. When asked by The Daily Signal, who published
this article, whether the request could lay the groundwork for
the rule making process, Ferguson said, the quickest way to
(39:59):
better people's lives is to bring enforcement actions. If people
this is a quote, if people are making material misstatements,
sue them. Ferguson told a Daily Signal sue them either
for injunctions if they're violating existing rules, which they may be,
or sue them for civil penalties. But I think it's
taking people to court if the laws being broken, rather
(40:20):
than undertaking a two year long rulemaking process followed by
lengthy litigation.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
He said.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Typically, when a business has salespeople making misleading statements, the
FTC goes after the entire company.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I just don't think, he says, quote.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
I just don't think we need to apply rules here
any differently than we apply everywhere else when we pursue
these types of claims, He said. The FTC has a
long history of enforcement actions against false and misleading health claims.
The agency's chief said, I acknowledge that many people feel
passionately about this issue, but if a medical claim is
false or misleading, it is the commission sworn duty to
(40:58):
protect American citizens from that claim, no differently than it
would be for any other.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
False or misleading claim.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
I have lots of early sidebar comments about this, but okay,
fine refusing to investigate these health claims in the potential
consumer harm to parents and children merely because one political
party supports these claims, as a matter of its ideology,
would be the politicized choice. And that is why we
are here today to ensure that parents and children seeking
professional help in a period of intense distress do not
(41:30):
make potentially life altering choices under a veil of deception,
misinformed about the risks and the benefits of these treatments.
Thank you, thank you, oh rational thinking one to say this.
The article goes on to say for an act to
be deceptive, it must mislead the consumer, either through commission,
(41:53):
for example, making a false misleading claim, or through oh
mission for example, failing to disclose certain information that would
support the claim from being misleading to the reasonable consumer.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
He said.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Second, the act or practice must be likely to mislead
a reasonable consumer acting in similar circumstances. In the case
of acts or practices that target specific groups, for example,
children or vulnerable parents, the test is whether.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
The act is likely to lead.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Lead mislead a reasonable member of that specific must be mislead,
that's the typo of that specific population. The actor practice
must be material to the consumer's decision to purchase the service.
If a child or family wouldn't have chosen puberty blockers,
(42:45):
if they were aware of the risks, the omission by
the doctor could be considered material. Americans have a right
to health claims substantiated by reliable scientific evidence, Ferguson said,
they have a right to be informed about information that
would be material to their decision to accept hormon therapies
for sex change surgeries.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Well well, well, well, well well well.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Doctor Miriam Grossman, a psychiatrist and senior fellow at the
medical watchdog group Do No Harm, says she thinks Section
five of the FTC Act prohibits transgender ideology from being
pushed on minors. Yes, little bit of a no doull
but great, fantastic, let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Let's get this out in the open. Not that it
wasn't already, but at least.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
We're hearing out of a government agency, a little bit
of a sanity check on our poor kids and the
parents again who are hold into the doctor's office under
the threat of your child will kill themselves if they
don't accept our treatment plan.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
That we can coct and what are the consequences.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
We've seen these gender for main care practices halted at
certain medical clinics thanks to the administration. But again, it's
kind of cleaning up the mess. Can we have a
national reckoning that this was malpractice, this was fraud.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Ideologically driven. You hate to think that.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
You go on the your physician's office behind closed doors
and they're looking at you like doing dollar signs.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
It's like you want to be like, we're.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
All working together to get me better. But where where
have they gone? Astray that? And there's like the you know,
there's the famous ones, the Kennedy Olsen ones that do
quote unquote research, that bury their studies when even the
(45:10):
you know, the especially design studies don't speak in their favor.
But you know, there's that level on and a w
path people on a very broad overview kind of view
of pushing designing excuse me, designing the problem, pushing it
(45:32):
on everyone on sort of a meta level, and then
all the way down to the march in lockstep physicians
that can look a thirteen year old girl in her
eye and tell her, oh, these life saving treatments are
the only thing that's going to keep you from wanting
to kill yourself. With the parents who are ready to
(45:57):
pooh in their parts over stress out their child and
they don't know what to do, and maybe they're they're
misinformed and they're totally confused, And it makes me sick
to my stomach to think of, excuse me, the surgeons
cutting off healthy body parts of minor children. Hell even
(46:23):
excuse me, eighteen year old's nineteen twenty twenty year old
still kid.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
With glee?
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Are they like stoked and thrilled at their job? Like,
how twisted do you have to be to tell yourself
I'm going to put this kid on our anesthesia and
saw off healthy, beautiful, God given body parts under the
(46:50):
guise of, oh, well, they're a trans person.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
That's a real thing. I am sorry.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
That is bat s crazy. Those are children, Those are
America's children. They belong to excuse me for lack of
sounding at the risk of sounding like Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
They belong to all of us.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
It's our responsibility to do no harm. Never mind the
stupid doctors that although they're the front lines of do
no harm and took an oath, but the rest of
us do as well. And it's about stink and time
that we're gonna have a little bit of a reckoning here,
even if it is, you know, starting in what might
(47:41):
be the men unusual spot, the federal Trade Commission. Absolutely,
that's fraudulent practice. All right, guys, Well, I have chit
chatted my way through my first hour, and I even
skipped out on my last break. Don't tell anyone, And
so I am gonna close it up early.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
Here. We're gonna get to the top the second hour.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Here we with any luck working phone lines and technology,
we will have Olivia Flores on with us again. She's
the president of the board in the Papa Valley Unified
School District. We're going to talk about a few important
things on the agenda for coming up this week at
a meeting. So without further ado, let's hit the top
of the hour news break. This is Mama Bears Radio.
(48:25):
I'm Kristin Hurley. We'll be back in just a few minutes.
