1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. She's gone, She's gone,

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: She's out. Deenizez thrown to the wolves. But the Boozella's singing.

4
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: All the sharing is about Jenise Kenonia is the head

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: of the DWP. She has left her office. I think

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: she got a good hard shove from Karen Bass, who's

7
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: running for reelection. This is John Cobelt Show I AM

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: six forty more stimulating talk radio. We're on from three

9
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: to six every day and after six o'clock John Cobelt

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: Show on demand. It's the podcast and we spent quite

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: some time at the beginning of the show celebrating kenon

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: Ya's leaving. We are now going to continue with Sayed Kashani.

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: He's an attorney. We've had him on the show quite

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: a bit over the last year. He lost his house

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: in the Palisades fire and Canuonias was famous for never

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: filling up the reservoir, the Sanienez Reservoir one one hundred

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: and seventeen million gallons, not a drop, and she also

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: had over a thousand busted fire hydrants and she never

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: turned off the electric power when it went through the

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: electric lines the night of the fire, and then eventually

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: the power poles fell, the lines hit the brush, and

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: you had more fires spreading, Sayad Kashani, welcome, How are you.

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: Well? Felling better than a year ago?

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: You remember? Go ahead?

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: I remember, mister Cobolt. You invited me on your show

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: a year ago after I I appeared before the Department

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: of Water and Power Commissioners, and one year ago I

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: asked them not even to ask Quinonos to resign, but

29
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: just to put her on lead while they conducted an investigation.

30
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: And here a year later, she's out on her ear.

31
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Carently, yeah, she was hired, and we played some old

32
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: clips of her, and she was very excited about the

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: social justice that the DWP was involved in. She was

34
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: most attracted to the job because of their equity policies.

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I have never heard her say anything about the fire,

36
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: the empty reservoir, the electrical lines that night, the fire, hydrants.

37
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: You went to some of these DWP meetings, did you

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: ever hear her discuss anything of any significance?

39
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: No? No, And I'll tell you something else. After the

40
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: fire and the losses were filed, she wasn't even allowed

41
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: to say anything. I have video of her that shows

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: very clearly she was given the script in with big letters,

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: double space, and just read that script and that's all

44
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: she ever did. She never answered any questions, and she

45
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: was not effective as the CEO at any time. And

46
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: I believe that the lawyers realized that she was a

47
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: liability from day one, so they just put her on

48
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: the bench. And now the mayor has also realized that

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: she's a liability, and I have some information on that

50
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: if you'd like to hear it. Oh well, as you know,

51
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: the body, the entity that's supposed to make these decisions

52
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: about the CEO is a board called the Board of

53
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: Waterpower Commissioners, which I follow now. They have never had

54
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: on their agenda, even their secret agenda, any discussion of

55
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: removing Jenny's counonos. It has never come up with them.

56
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: It's been business as usual. They've never conducted a search,

57
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: which normally you at least start a search if you're

58
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: going to do a replacement in the normal course. Finally,

59
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: what we see here, the announcement that she's resigning, actually

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: came from the Mayor's office, not from the DWP. So

61
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: clearly what happened here is that Mayor Bass sees candidates

62
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: nipping at her heels in the election. She sees Quinonos

63
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: as a liability, and she dumped her hoping, you know,

64
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: that will help her reelection checks.

65
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, Yeah, I think that's quite right because

66
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: now she doesn't have to deal with all those public

67
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: conversations and questions about what would it take for you

68
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: to get rid of Jenny's Kinoniez. She only helped burn

69
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: down the Palisades, what else does she have to do

70
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: to lose her job?

71
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Well, not only that. Within the last month, as we know,

72
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: the court in charge of the lawsuits on the Palisades

73
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: very courageously I think, allowed those lawsuits to go forward.

74
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: So that's one thing they'd be able to pease facing

75
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: tens of billions of dollars in exposure because of Quanonas.

76
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: And another thing that we discussed last time is that

77
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Quonos can't even get the reservoir online. It's empty again.

78
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: She can't get it repaired, she can't get anything done.

79
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: So between keeping the reservoir perpetually empty and potentially bankrupting

80
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: the city and the DWP, she had to go.

81
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's making seven hundred and fifty thousand a year.

82
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: She was she's paid two and a half times more

83
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: than what Bass makes.

84
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: Well. The real number to think about, which I brought

85
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: up at the very first hearing, is that she's paid

86
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. The cost

87
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: to have repaired the reservoir and get it back online

88
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: before the fire was one hundred and forty thousand dollars.

89
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: If they wouldn't pay that to fix the reservoir, instead,

90
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 2: they paid her three reporters of the movie plus the house.

91
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, plus the house. I mean that that was a

92
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: hell of a package she got the you know you've

93
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: got You've gotten to a lot of these meetings, haven't you.

94
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever heard anybody on the board

95
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: ever talk to anyone? Is there any scuttle butt behind

96
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: the scenes rumors exactly what was going on with her?

97
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean, why, how? Why would she leave the reservoir

98
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: empty and the hydrants broken and all the rest of

99
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: the sins? I mean, what was going on? The clips

100
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: we have of her, she's talking about equity, social justice, diversity,

101
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: Earth Day. I don't I don't understand.

102
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I think she was just there for show. Let me

103
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: tell you something that's very telling and I won't name names,

104
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: but after I made my presentation a year ago before

105
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: the DWP board, I would go to the DOP very

106
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: often looking for documents for research and run them too employees,

107
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: and they would recognize me from the YouTube or whatever.

108
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: They come up to me. EWP employees would come up

109
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: to me and say, hey, good job man, thanks man.

110
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: Don't tell anyone I said so. Well, I think the

111
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: DWP employees rank and file realized that they did not

112
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: have a good boss, and she had to go to.

113
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: I just I want the story. I want to understand

114
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: the whole story because everybody, because of the lawsuits and

115
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: because nobody ever admits any culpability anymore in public. I

116
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: just want to know what these people were doing leading

117
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: up to it, the day of the fire, the aftermath

118
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: of the fire, all the cover ups, all the lives.

119
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: You know.

120
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I want the big, full length movie version of this, because.

121
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: Well, the lawyers who have brought this case her are

122
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: going to find out, and I'm going to find out.

123
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing, it's going to be

124
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: a lot harder to get a story out of Jennice

125
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: Quinono's because, according to her, and she's specifically announced she's

126
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: going back to Puerto Rico. Well, in the old days,

127
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: we will call that flight to escape prosecution because she's

128
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: leaving the state and the jurisdiction. So just getting her

129
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: to testify is going to be a lot harder.

130
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it's still part of the US,

131
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know what the extradition rules are.

132
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: If any extradition is one thing, but even getting her

133
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: testimony in the deposition, let alone getting her to testify

134
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: a trial, is becoming a lot harder. And I think

135
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: that's part of the plan. I think the lawyers that

136
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: the GWP is paid now twenty million dollars. Oh uh,

137
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: and we're nowhere in the case, so they've already been paid.

138
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: I think they were saying, you got to get her

139
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: out of this restriction, you go, you got to get.

140
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Rid of her, and for one hundred and forty five

141
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars they could have repaired the cover and filled

142
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: up the reservoir, say Ed Kashani. Good talking with you.

143
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: Again, My pleasure anytime, sir.

144
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. By the way, coming up

145
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: after five thirty, we are going devers five thirty news.

146
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: We are going to have an attorney from the Thomas

147
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: Moore Society. They're the ones who defended those parents whose

148
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: kids were going to transroutin school and the school wouldn't

149
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: tell the parents what was happening. And the Supreme Court

150
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: blocked a California law which allowed this to go on,

151
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: and that will be coming up after five thirty.

152

Speaker 1: We put one out most days after the show. YouTube

157
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash at John Cobelt YouTube dot com slash

158
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: at John Cobelt's show Still Choking. Gavin Newsom, as you know,

159
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: we've gone through this for the past week. About five

160
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: or six years ago, he signed a bill which allowed criminals,

161
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: even violent criminals, even violent sexual predators who compulsively rape

162
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: little girls, to retire as a criminal after the age

163
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: of fifty. If you're fifty year older and you served

164
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: twenty years of your term, you get to go home

165
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: because Newsom says you're retired elderly parole. I call it

166
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: elderly at fifty it's a new concept. This guy, David

167
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Allen Thunston was kidnapping and sexually assaulting a number of

168
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: children ages three to seven, and since he was sixty

169
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: three sixty four years old, and he also he also

170
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: had served thirty years in prison, it was time for

171
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: him to go. And normal people got very upset over this,

172
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: including a judge. Mary Anne Jilliard was a superior court

173
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: judge in the sacrament area for twenty seven years. She

174
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: retired last summer, and she says Newsom's law allowingly release

175
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: of these felons have put the public at risk, including

176
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: the mental health diversion laws too, and she told the

177
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: California Post California needs to be placed into a conservatorship

178
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: because the person in charge, Gavin Newsom, is a danger

179
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: to others. As a former judge, and it was over

180
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: David Allen Funston was too far for her, and Jilliard said,

181
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: as a fifty year old serial child molester, you're eligible

182
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: to you're eligible for elderly parole, but still too young

183
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: for the senior Grand slam at Denny's criminals who were

184
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: ordered to serve life terms or being paroled because Gavin

185
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Newsom and his reckless Board of Parole has given the

186
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: green light without regard to public safety. In fact, if

187
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: I remember, Funstan had gotten sixty eight years to life,

188
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: Jilliard said, there's been a number of bills that have

189
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: put us all at risk, including allowing murderers to stay

190
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: on parole for as little as one year. Oh yeah,

191
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: they let you out on parole early, and then you're

192
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: only on parole and have to deal with those restrictions

193
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: for one year. They've weakened gang laws. They let felons

194
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: who are not on probation or parole to serve on juries.

195
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Well, there's not a lot of garbage.

196
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Newsom also signed a bill in twenty twenty three which

197
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: lets criminal defendants cite virtually any diagnosis to help stay

198
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: out of jail. Have you heard this one? Under the law,

199
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: a criminal defendant if they have a diagnosis, which can

200
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: range from ADHD to substance use disorder. In other words,

201
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: you're on drugs, it's presumed it's presumed that the disorder

202
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: led to the criminal act. Even serious offenders, you end

203
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: up in a lax, poorly enforced mental health program. According

204
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: to Jilliard, you can pistol whip an eighty year old lady.

205
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: But if you're a pothead, you have cannabis use disorder,

206
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: and they presume that was the cause of the conduct.

207
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: However well intentioned the program was and might have been,

208
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: in reality, it did not come with enough guardrails. It's

209
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: been to get out of a jail free card. That's

210
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: according to State Senator Sheddon Grove of Bakersfield. Jilliard said

211
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Newsome owns this failure. He needs to do the right

212
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: thing and call special session of the legislature and fix

213
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: what's broken. She said that she tells victims' families it

214
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: was highly likely the perpetrators would be released on parole

215
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: during their lifetimes. I would tell victims and their family

216
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: members that the legislature is never here on Fridays during

217
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: sentencing to see the agony and pain you're going through

218
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: because of their reforms. So there's a judge speaking out

219
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: on Gavin Newsom being dangerous to the rest of us

220
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: to the point that she thinks the whole state ought

221
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: to be put in conservatorship, that we need a state

222
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: guardian to restore our safety because of the damage when

223
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: we come back. Another stupid thing he did is he

224
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow school districts to tell parents when a child

225
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: is suddenly announcing he's transgender and has a new name

226
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: and new pronouns and he's switching his gender identity. And

227
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: some parents have sued and the Supreme Court temporarily blocked

228
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: the California law. We're going to talk to Peter Breen

229
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: about it. He represented parents and he's had a litigation

230
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: at the Thomas Moore Society, a law group. We are

231
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: going to talk with Peter Breen next.

232
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

233
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: six forty.

234
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show. We're on from three to six every day,

235
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: and after six o'clock we have the podcast John Cobelt

236
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Show on demand. It's the same as the radio show.

237
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: It's there so you could listen to whatever you missed.

238
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, for the last week, we've been telling you

239
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: telling you about an idiotic law the Gaven Newsom signed

240
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty which allowed for the retirement of

241
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: prisoners once they reached the age of fifty. The prisoners

242
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: could retire as a prisoner and be set free even

243
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: if you're a serial child rapist. And we've been going

244
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: through that story all week, David Allen Funston. Well, Gavin

245
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: Newsom has a long list of stupid laws that he signed,

246
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: and here's another one. In July of twenty twenty four,

247
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: he signed a law that blocked school districts from requiring

248
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification. If

249
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: you had kids who were starting to talk about being

250
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: transgender or any one of the other variations. They they

251
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. And Supreme Court it's a temporary order.

252
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court said that that California law is blocked.

253
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Also blocked as a rule that required teachers to use

254
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: a student's preferred pronouns. And two sets of Catholic parents sued,

255
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: represented by the Thomas Moore Society, and we have one

256
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: of their attorneys, Peter Breen. He's the executive vice president

257
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: and head of Litigation at the Thomas Moore Society, and

258
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: they represented the parents. And let's get Peter Breen on how.

259
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Are you hey? Doing great job, Thanks for thanks for

260
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: having me on.

261
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: All right, given given outline when Newsome signed this law,

262
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: what what what that changed inside of school?

263
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: Well, and I'll say this, the state of California was

264
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: making a bunch of arguments, but they have ackedtually been

265
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: pushing this policy since twenty sixteen. That latest law was

266
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: only an additional add on to this whole culture of secrecy.

267
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: The State Department of Education was putting out FAQ pages

268
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: and instructions and model policies for years. It's only that

269
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: law maybe put a finer.

270
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: Point on it.

271
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: But we've been fighting this now for three years in court.

272
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 3: But teachers, parents, families had been dealing with this for

273
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: years even before that. And the real, i mean, the

274
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: upshot of the whole thing is they were forcing teachers

275
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: to keep silent and use different sets of names and

276
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: pronouns at the parent teacher conference from what was happening

277
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: inside the school. You know. We started the case with

278
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 3: two teachers over an Escondido and at the beginning of

279
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: the school year, they got an email had seven kids

280
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: on the list. These are middle school teachers. Seven kids

281
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: on the list who were transitioning, six of whose parents

282
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: had no clue and they were forbidden from telling the parents.

283
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: Once we got into the case a bit, we got

284
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: into discovery, we realized this was a massive, massive issue.

285
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: We expanded it to a statewide class action, added parents

286
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: parents came to us. We've got one set of parents.

287
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: They found out their child was being their daughter was

288
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: being treated as a boy at school after she attempted suicide. So,

289
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean, just utterly horrible stories happening here. And so

290
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court's decision to say no way is massive.

291
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: It's going to have incredible impact, not just in California,

292
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: but from coast to coast.

293
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: It's astonishing to normal people that if you have a

294
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: kid and they want to change their sexuality and they're

295
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: going public with it, and they have new names and

296
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: new pronouns that the school doesn't tell the parents, I mean,

297
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe this exists.

298
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: Look, I mean it was Gavin Newsom, Rob Bonta and

299
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: the whole bureaucracy. Their position was that children as young

300
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 3: as age two and I'm not even sure how a

301
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: two year old could express an alternative gender in this way,

302
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 3: but the children as young as age two heavy they

303
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: said the state Constitution of California protected their right to

304
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 3: do that without anybody knowing. Now we think that's crazy.

305
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not you know, the people of the

306
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: state of California don't believe that. But either way, the

307
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 3: federal Constitution for centuries has recognized the fact that parents

308
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: are the primary you know, they are the ones with

309
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: the responsibility for the upbringing of their children. And I'll

310
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: tell you the neat thing about this decision. You know,

311
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: it's a short decision that happened lightning fast, but the

312
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: Supreme Court took precedent from nineteen twenty five talking about

313
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: how parents are the you know, they're the ones in

314
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: charge of the upbringing education their kids, and brought that

315
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: precedent now into the twenty first century. Maybe we shouldn't

316
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: have needed it, It was so obvious we should not

317
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: have needed to do this. But because of the State

318
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: of California's actions, and again there are school districts across

319
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: the country dealing with us, we now have this precedent

320
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: very clear that every parent has that primary right, you know,

321
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: they are the ones raising the child, not the state.

322
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: A few years ago, there was a study of students

323
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: at Brown University which found that thirty eight percent of

324
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: them decided they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and all

325
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: the rest right, all the rest of the letters, thirty

326
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: eight percent. And since then there's been a follow up

327
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: study and they find out in reality, it's only a

328
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: very small number proportionate to what the number that they've

329
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: always had when they've done these studies. So at that time,

330
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: at least a Brown university and probably all over the place,

331
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: it was.

332
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: Pressure.

333
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: It was a trendiness. It was wanting to get social

334
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: status among your peers. And so you adopted one of

335
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: those letters to say, yes, I'm binary, I'm queer, I'm transgender.

336
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: And some of these people really took it very seriously,

337
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: these kids, and then in a few years they'd reverse it,

338
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: they changed their minds.

339
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: And really, I mean, that's even with college kids. College kids,

340
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's bad enough, But now imagine a

341
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: bunch of grade schoolers. You know, one of our clients,

342
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: she was in fifth grade, and the school lied to

343
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: the parents. The parents started to catch wind to this,

344
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: flat out lied to the parents. And so what does

345
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: a fifth grader know, I mean, what, you're ten years

346
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: old at that point, going in and making a very

347
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: serious decision like this. And the problem was if if

348
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 3: your Susie came in one day and told the teacher, well,

349
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: you know, I'm feeling like Johnny today, they had to

350
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: essentially drop everything, change change her pronouns, change her in

351
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 3: the records at school saying you're Johnny, and then have

352
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 3: the separate lists so that we would not tell mom

353
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: and dad that Susie is acting like Johnny. Well, without

354
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: mental health professionals being involved, without parents being involved, it

355
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: could develop into something much more serious. And I'll tell

356
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: you one neat thing. So there are almost forty cases,

357
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court noted. One of the justices noted, there

358
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: are almost forty cases with similar issues. We're dealing with

359
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: this transgender business in the schools, depending in the courts

360
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: right now. But one thing that we had that really

361
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that any of the other ones have.

362
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: We had a full record. So the State of California,

363
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: you know, they made all these claims. Well, if we

364
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: tell parents about this, it'll be harmed with the children. Well,

365
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: when you go to court, you know, you can make

366
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: all the claims you want out in the public and

367
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 3: in front of a microphone, but when you get into court,

368
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: you've got to present evidence. And so we got their

369
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: experts under under oath and they had to concede. Parental

370
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: involvement is better. So you want the parents involved when

371
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: the kids are expressing gender incongruity. Yeah, so it's common

372
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: sense for us, right right in.

373
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: The very rare cases, it's true you need to have

374
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: the parents helping to facilitate a transition if there's to

375
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: be one.

376
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, but or you know, I mean, look, you got

377
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: this other issue, which is, hey, you know, I believe,

378
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: you know, you believe in the Bible, and you go, well,

379
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 3: God created a male and female like and mine is

380
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: female not male. So stop treating my daughter like a boy,

381
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: you know, stop putting my daughter in the men's restroom,

382
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, so there is a religious element

383
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: as well. But the point that the court made again

384
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: that they have not made so last year they had

385
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: a great religious liberty decisions. So religious parents are supposed

386
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: to not have all the LGBTQ books and you know, indoctrination,

387
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 3: so they can opt out of that. That came last year.

388
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: But this decision today covers everybody, whether you've got a

389
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: religious faith or not, whether your objection is based on

390
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: your religious faith or not. It's based on the fact

391
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: you're the parent, not the school.

392
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for coming on. It was a

393
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: really good talking about here. Peter Breen from the Thomas

394
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: Spore Society who represented the parents in this case. Coming up,

395
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Gavin Newsom had a furious

396
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: response to this. He's highly critical what the Supreme Court did.

397
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: We'll play a clip and talk about it more.

398
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

399
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,160

00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: And that first hour of the podcast especially ought to

405
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: listen to. We had a full blown, full our celebration

406
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: of the demise of Genie Kinonez, the idiot CEO of

407
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: LA Department of Order and Power, the woman who didn't

408
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: fill the reservoir. Oh and it'll be the featured video

409
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: on YouTube as well, so the celebration will can continue

410
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: into the night. We just had an interview with Peter Breen.

411
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: He was the executive vice president is the executive vice

412
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: president and had a litigation of Thomas Moore Society. It's

413
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: a litigation firm and they represented a Catholic parents who

414
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: objected to a Gavin Newsom law, another disastrous law that

415
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has at least temporarily blocked. He signed

416
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: this law in twenty twenty four, and it banned school

417
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: districts from requiring staff to notify parents if a child

418
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: became transgender. So if the kid said, I'm switching for

419
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: boy to girl, girl to boy, I got a new name,

420
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: I got new pronouns, his lass said, well, the school

421
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: district cannot require staff to notify parents. Well that's been

422
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: blocked right now, No school can require.

423
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: Well no, let me see.

424
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: It banned school districts from requiring staff to notify parents.

425
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: Let's play. Gavin Newsom's response.

426
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 5: What they can't do under the law is fire a

427
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 5: teacher for not being a snitch. And I just don't

428
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: think teachers should be gender police. Humble point of view,

429
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 5: and I think this issue has gotten weaponized and our

430
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 5: gay community has been demonized.

431
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: He uses that word all the time whenever there's pushback

432
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: on one of his nutty, crazy, extreme ideas, the idea

433
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: that if you have a child and he wants to transition,

434
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: and he could be very young and he's got a

435
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: new name that he only uses at school and he's

436
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: got pronouns that he only uses at school and us

437
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: parents have no right to know this. That is so

438
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: outrageous and preposterous. I don't know of a single parent

439
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: who believes that should be the case. It is preposterous

440
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: that Gavin Newsom gets to decide whether.

441
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: We all know or not.

442
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: That that that is so.

443
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: And then and then he's outraged that parents objecting, Wow,

444
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: this is being weaponized. It's not being weaponized. You took

445
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: away parents' rights to know what's going on in their

446
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: child's lives, something really important. And what I what I

447
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: what I said earlier. A lot of this stuff was

448
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: so fatish and trendy and silly. It was all pumped

449
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: by social media and TikTok. The idea that your sexuality

450
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: or gender is malleable is changeable. When you get thirty

451
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: eight percent of the kids at Brown a few years

452
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: ago saying they all belonged to one of the letters

453
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus thirty eight percent, now stop it. That's not

454
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: biologically possible. And of course they've done a follow up

455
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: study and most of those kids now identify with the

456
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: way they're born. They just did it for social status.

457
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: They did it to get along. They did it because

458
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: they didn't want to be ostracized. There was not freedom

459
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: of expression at a lot of universities, certainly not Ivy

460
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: League universities. You have to conform. You have to pretend

461
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: you were a woman instead of a man, a man

462
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: instead of a woman, that you were gay or lesbian

463
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: or trans or queer or whatever the new terminology is

464
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: going to be. It was all social pressure. It was

465
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: confusion for the kids. And then then you start changing

466
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: your name and your pronouns, and then the next step

467
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: is you start having your body mutilated. So of course

468
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,600

469
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,920

471
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: get to decide if parents aren't informed. All right, we

Speaker 1: are done. We've got Michael Krozer coming up and then Conway.
