In this episode, we look at the State of Utah’s Health Department-commissioned review, which confirmed the safety and mental health benefits of gender-affirming treatments for youth. Despite its clear findings, the review was dismissed by lawmakers determined to uphold a state ban, highlighting a disturbing political hypocrisy. This resistance to science in favor of ideological control exposes a deeper moral failure among those in power who choose to ignore expert guidance to further political ends.
On the national political stage, we analyze the 2024 election and President Biden’s decision to endorse Kamala Harris. The media's fixation on Biden’s mental fitness, as detailed in Jake Tapper’s book, reflects a shallow narrative more interested in spectacle than substance. We critique the media’s failure to prioritize pressing issues—like civil rights and healthcare—in favor of sensationalist coverage about President Biden while President Trump has escaped the same kind of drum beat over his mental issues.
