Today we're debunking lies about Florida and Texas' supposedly "hateful" rules going into effect that the Left claims will hurt kids, but of course the opposite is true. In Texas, so-called "gender-affirming" care will now be seen as child abuse under the law, and in Florida, a new bill would limit schools' ability to force ideologically driven curriculum on teachers and kids. We go over why both of these things are good moves and why the Left's outcry is based mostly on ignorance. We also talk about whether or not pressuring young kids really is child abuse and the utter failure of doctors and politicians who are supposed to know better.
