Most of you, of course, have some very good things to say, often very nice things to say, very thoughtful things to say. Every once in a while someone sends a knucklehead message which I read to knucklehead point in message, and knucklehead point is where I leave. So I'm not sorry about that anyway. It is good to be here, my friends. That's ninety
nine point nine percent of you do a wonderful job at that. So I alluded to this in a previous hour of this program. If your kid, this is an article at CNN CNN Health, and this will be on Stack of Stuff page as per usual. If your kid just told you, this is the headline of this told you there's trans Here's what you should know, written by Christian Christian Kristin Kristin Rogers at CNN. So if you have a child and they come to you and they say, mommy, Daddy, I
feel like I'm a boy and they're a girl. They say, mommy, daddy, I feel like a girl and their little boy whatever, then CNN has some advice for you. CNN has some advice for you that I want to share with you, my friends as we well, that's what I want to talk about. There's lots of stuff in the Stack of stuff, but that's where I want to start today. My friends. But before we do that, Before we do that, I would like to tell you a little bit about z Stack. Z Stack, my friends, is here to help
you provide natural health supplementation to your body. I mean health the way we take care of ourselves is important. As I've as I've gotten older, as I've matured, you know, as you're when you're in your twenties, you're in your teenager. I mean, I remember being able to eat anything. I remember the point my purpose in life was to gain weight. I played football in high school and in college, and it didn't matter. I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted to eat it. It could have
been loaded with ten thousand calories. And I couldn't gain weight very easily. I can remember taking creating and lifting weights, and in college I finally started to bulk up a little bit as I got into my early twenties. But
as a younger guy, I just I couldn't. And that's different now, right, the older we get all that stuff that changes, you have to be more mindful of this, and I think you just learn and understand, especially if you've been through any sort of health ailment, whether it's I've had acl surgeries. You know, ACL surgeries make you appreciate the ability to walk into run right. I mean, if you've had if you've had an illness,
you appreciate being in good health. If you've ever been in the hospital, you appreciate the freedom of being outside and to be able to I mean, health is an important thing. And so I'm not here to bash the medical establishment, but i do think that there are some things that are done in our medical system that aren't good. And a lot of times it's just a pill pushing contest almost that feels like and there's other ways that we can
take care of ourselves. It's really the point. And so z Stak has a series of six I guess seven if you count both kids products, seven formulations that we have been created by doctor Zolinko.

headline here. If your kid just told you their trands, here's what you should know. A couple things about this, just off the top. As I think about this number one number one, we're all you know that I'm I really fight the urge sometimes to get to preachy on it on this program. But I'm a lover of freedom, of course, and I'm also one
who believes firmly that we were created by a creator. That creator has revealed himself to us in the Bible through the Holy Scriptures, that he sent his son Jesus to this earth to reconcile us from the consequences the punishment of our sin, to defeat sin and the graves, so that we could be reconciled
to Him. I believe that. I also believe that we live in a broken world, and that the world was broken because we refused and we still do refuse by the way to live in accordance with the way that God created us to live individually societally. I mean, this is everywhere, and so we're all made in the image of God. Now, that does not mean that everything about us is a reflection of how God intended us to live.
Because we have we're in this fallen world. We also have choices. We also have we all struggle with something, and we shouldn't say suddenly because I want something that I really should not have. The moral code or just the order and design of this world doesn't allow me to have it. I shouldn't justify having it. And we were created male and female. We're created male and female. There's no matter how much we protest that. No matter how much we try to say that that's not true, that is, as a
matter of fact, absolutely one hundred percent true. And so that doesn't mean I hate anybody who feels differently, who struggles with that. In fact, I'm quite sympathetic to that. In fact, I'd like to see people have a way to deal with this besides being told that this is the greatest thing in the world. There are so many examples now of people who are now in their twenties, maybe thirties, who went through some of these extreme things.
They took hormone blocking pills, they are medications, They physically altered their bodies, females removing breasts, I mean, boys removing I mean all this stuff, all these things that altering their bodies to become to become female if they're male, and male if they're female. And now there's a lot of people who have done that who are now speaking out and saying I wish that I wouldn't have been alone to do that as a minor, because I've ruined
my life and we're not talking about that. Just like when we talk about the issue of abortion. One thing that is never in the debate is are the women who have had abortions who struggle with this pain and guilt for the rest of their lives. By the way, I don't think you should have to do that. And that's something that's something that the God of the Bible
is prepared to give you, is forgiveness. And so that's something that regardless of your struggle, regardless of the decisions you've made in relation to that struggle or struggles plural over the course of your lifetime. That's the beauty of Jesus is that he atoned for all of that and he wants to help walk through those things with you and to call you, to call me to be fully restored and to turn from the things that the Bible would call sin. And
so that's that's how where I'm coming from with this. You know, I also ran at one point, I ran a nonprofit organization for kids. I'm not going to say it here because you know, be whatever, I just I just don't want to bring it up. It's a good organization, not perfect by any stretch. In fact, sometimes they do some things that I'm not super happy with as far as it pertains to being a little bit too leftist down the you know, down that side of the aisle or that that
worldview. But they've done a lot of good work as well. And I just I think about some of these kids. I think about some of the circumstances, kids that I had encounters with, things that I kids that I worked with, kids that I got to know pretty well. And you know, it was amazing some of their struggles. It's amazing some of their struggles. And just because they have a struggle doesn't mean that you hate that person. And by the way, why would we I don't know. Some of
these things just don't make don't make sense. But it's being pushed down our throats. It's being pushed down our throats very very aggressively, I might add. And so but CNN here has advice for you if your kid. If your kid comes to you and says, in this example, Mary Hope Howland, it says, gave birth to a baby she thought was a boy. Now why would she think the baby was a boy? I'll tell you why, Mary Hope Howland thought this baby was a boy because he was genetically male.
Of course, that is the equivalent of a boy. This is you know this, We're in dangerous territory. We are rejecting things that are fundamentally true. We are rejecting things now in this world that I mean is it's scary. It really is, because I don't know the timeframe, say a dozen years ago, I don't know what the timeframe was when all this craziness really came took root. But we're looking at all of these things that are
happening over the course of time. But there was a time when if someone said my baby was born and I thought they were a boy, but then I realized they were a girl, everyone in society would have looked at this individual and said, what are you talking about? Your baby was a boy at birth and still is a boy. Now, is everything okay? But that's not how we're supposed to address this. Well, that's not how the leftist experts tell us to address it today. You shouldn't address it the way
that they are telling you. I'm just sharing this because this is the stuff that's being taught in schools. I'm telling you, and you know this. We've got the seven pillars of propaganda. The seven pillars of propaganda in this society, in this culture, are being used by the radical left to further to further their worldview, sometimes subtly, and again the seven pillars of propaganda
include entertainment, So think NBA, WNBA, NFL, Hollywood. We've got science, which, of course science in this case is being totally manipulated. Science can be manipulated, has been manipulated to do things like tell us boys can be girls and girls can be boys. It can also be manipulated to tell us that man is the one that's responsible for making the temperatures rise.
For these predictions that show that the sea level is going to be some incredible amounts just wiping out half of America or the half of the world in twenty ninety or whatever the year is. It's been manipulated. So there's entertainment, there's science. There's academia, which the schools are being used for this to push this leftist agenda. There's the media, which of course we know has lied to us for decades. In decades, I mean actually longer than that.
We have social media, or I should say big tech, which would include social media, but also include some of these tech companies that want to spy on you, that want to silence you, that want to know what you think and make sure that you comply with what the big lovers of big government tell you. You've got woke business which is out there pushing this radical agenda on people on the American public. That's what we're up against, my
friends, that's what we're up against. And so science and academia is using its influence to push a radical worldview. So Mary Hope Holland thought that she had a baby boy found out at six years old. According to this article, the child asked her questions such as, Mom, am I a boy? How do you know? How do you know I'm a boy? Well, I mean that's a pretty simple question to answer. I'm not saying as a parent, maybe it's uncomfortable, but it's a simple question to answer.
Well, you're genetically male, right, body is a body that would be classify a sight. I don't say this to a six year old, but you know, when you when God made you, he made you to be a boy. You have a boy body, which is a little bit different than a girl body, a lot different. But you know these are kids. You you're just the boy. Now, that doesn't mean that that there's one definite like every boy has the same level of you know, every boy
likes trucks, or every boy goes out and plays football. But in general, there's a thing called masculinity, which is really those sorts of things, you know, competition and physical play and fighting and that sort of thing. And then there's femininity, right, and so girls, of course are the more feminine and males are the more masculine. It doesn't mean that, you know, any any boy can't have something that's considered feminine that he likes or
vice versa. But it doesn't suddenly make you not a boy. Here we continuing in this article. Once I clued in this, I said, the doctors make a best guess based on your body. That's her answer. The doctors make a best guess on your body. So basically she told she told her son, I have no idea that what you are, because the doctors just looked at your body, saw that you had a male body, called you a boy. But they're just guessing because because your biological body, your
physical body may not align with your gender. This is crazy talk, but only you can know. And we love you no matter what. I'm good with that last part. Yes, we should love them no matter what, absolutely no doubt. But we should also be the adults, we should also be the ones who are addressing this in a responsible way, helping prevent all sorts of trouble for this child down the road. To answer this, to answer the question that says the doctors make a best guess based on your body
when you're born. They looked at you, saw that you had a boy part and said, well, you're a boy, which it may not be because we got to wait. We gotta wait until you can tell us, well, what's the criteria. What's the criteria for being a boy and a girl? Seat? No matter, this is the dirty little secret, no matter how long to the left, it's obvious to the rest of us. But at some point along the way, words mean things, and words require a definition. So if I'm going to say, I mean look at how
quickly Matt Walsh did this documentary called What Is a Woman? He went to the most educated, self righteous, pompous leftists in the university settings, these folks who are teaching this gender garbage on a regular basis, and he asked multiple of these folks what is a woman? And none of them could answer it. They would say, well, it's someone who identifies as a woman, And he would say, okay, fine, but what is that thing
that they're identifying as it's a woman? Well, do you understand what you're saying here? You're not answering my question. You're not defining the term. When you use a term. When you use a word, it means that you're trying to communicate something. What when you use the word woman are you trying to communicate? What is it about that? What are you trying to say when you say I am a woman? What does that mean? And you can't continually say I'm just someone that identifies as a woman. What are
you meaning? Why are we using the term woman? Then? Why aren't we using ooga booga whenever? I mean? Why why are we doing this? Because words mean things? My friends? Words? I mean, I just I can't believe some of the things that you have to say. In today's world, words mean things. People act as though words don't mean things. Yet, then why use words if words don't have any meaning? What am I hoping to accomplish by saying words? I mean, none of this
makes any sense. And now she's telling her six year old boy, I don't know if you're a boy, Well, that's got to be reassuring to the kid. I heard somebody, and I don't remember where I heard this. I don't know if I read this. I don't think it was a personal story like someone that I knew. I don't think it was someone that told me, but it could have been. I think I read this.
There was a kindergarten, kindergarten little boy I think, who started off the school year as a boy and then realized that he was a she and then tried to then become more like a girl. And of course the school was trying to explain this to a bunch of kindergarteners, and they basically, I think part of the story was something like the kid was in the shower and was, you know, just didn't feel right with the body parts that he had, or some such thing, and you know, so they shared some
version of that with the kids. I may be butchering this to an extent, but it's something like this, and they there was a little girl from the class, and she came home and she was talking to her parents about this. She was all confused and she was all upset about taking a shower because what her takeaway was from that conversation was, if you go and take a shower. You can go from being a boy to a girl, or being a boy being a girl to a boy. And that's so why would
you not try to navigate this? We are the adults. Where is the truth? What are we trying to communicate here? This is not some sort of a noble pursuit. This is insanity. And there are parents, by the way I've read. I don't have it in the stack of stuff today, but I've seen people who say that they've got four four children there and they're all something. They're they're all part of the lgbt q I A plus
community. A couple of them might be transgender. I mean, you have better odds of winning the lottery two or three times than that being the case. And people are pushing this stuff. It's sick. It's just it's sad. This is not a noble pursuit. This is this is not something that should be endorsed and forced in some cases upun more to say on this, but my friends, before I do that, I got to take a break here in a moment. But let me also remind you about nicknack Naturals.

I've had a friend who's tried to quit for years now, and I know it's tough. My grandfather I've shared on here before, said that he did quit smoking and
he said it was the heart. He didn't go a day witho having a little bit of a craving like he could have picked it back up, he said at any time. So I know it's tough.

here and take a break. We're gonna get back to this article in the second segment of this program again. We're going through this CNN article entitled if your kid just told you there's trends, here's what you should know. Well, I'm gonna tell you what you should know. Now you already know it, but I'm just going to reinforce it. Anyway. We'll talk about these things my friends on the other side of the break. In the meantime, Sit tight. We'll be back here in your moments when I have my friends.
I don't know some of some of you might think, why do we talk about this. We've got politics, and we got try and I look, there's a lot of important things out there. We've got border security, we've got inflation, we've got the world on fire because American weakness is in fact provocative. We've got a mess everywhere we turn. It's an absolute, unmitigated disaster and mess. I understand that, but this, my friends,
societies crumble. Societies crumble when they lose their moral compass. They do when they lose their sense of reality, and they lose their ability to be able to discern between obvious truth obvious reality. This is rejected by the leftists on a regular basis. Their entire worldview is built upon nothing but a lie lie. I would maintain a straight from the pits of hell. I'm not talking talking about liberals, people who just want to I mean, it's there's a
problem with liberalism, don't misunderstand me. But I'm talking specifically about radical leftists. I'm talking about people who have denied truth. I'm talking about people who are out there actively pushing for things that are dangerous, that are illogical, that are immoral, that are just absolutely terrible things for our society. And if we have a group of people that have been turned over to a depraved mind, and again I'm like Dietrich Bonhoffer would say, they become stupid.
I don't mean that to be insulting. I just mean it as a matter of fact. If that's the case that's the case, then we're in a world of hurt. I mean, these these are these are voters we can't allow. If if we can allow the left to convince people that biological boys can become girls or vice versa, then how are we going to convince them that free market capitalism is good? How are we going to run businesses?
Where are you going to find employees? Right? I mean I mean this like I understand that if you know you're you've had your business, you've had you know, you've built your business, you've got a good team in place, you've got your system and all that you know you're going to be, You're probably gonna be fine. Right. I I understand that, And I understand that, hey, don't shake the apple cart. That's not my problem.
I'm I'm sensitive to that. But this is a larger problem. Think about the next generation of business owners, the next generation of people who are trying to you know, start churches and and spread the gospel. Think about the next generation of people who are going to be working the streets as law enforcement officers. I mean we we are. I wouldn't even say tiptoeing. I think we're sprinting headlong towards sodom and gomora. Here with this absolutely moral
depravity, not just that's happening, but we're endorsing it. We're verbally saying it's just as good as anything else, and that cannot be allowed to stand on its own. I absolutely reject the idea that people that we should that we should attack the you know, the person who struggles with these things. That's not the point at all. I think we should be loving and graceful.
But I also think for those that want to push this agenda and tell us that depravity or wickedness or evil is good, that cannot that has that cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. And this is where I know they use the their their intimidating bully pulpit or whatever to get people to comply, and then no one says anything, and then we wonder why generations are slipping into this crap. And this is exactly why this is truth must be proclaimed,
my friends, truth that's been revealed to us. We must be willing and prepared to shout it from the mountaintops, because because it is. If we don't do that, it's it is at risk. I don't care how fundamentally obvious. It is to those of you in this audience. It isn't to somebody else, Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. These are important conversations
to have, is my point in saying that. So I want to continue this looking at this article, but I also want to take a moment here to remind you that if you are having concerns about your premiums, insurance premiums going up, health insurance premiums going up, I encourage you to reach out to my friend Eric Wilson at I Sell healthisellhealth dot com is his website.

Sponsors and advertisers of The Todd Huff Show do not necessarily agree with the views, ideas, and opinions expressed on this program,
but they absolutely should. So getting back to this article, here we've got Mary Hope Holland who had a six year old boy. That child, well, she had a baby. He grew to six years old. He started asking questions, Mom, am I a boy? How do you know that I'm a boy? She then said, the doctors make a best guess based on your body, but only you can know, and we love you no matter what. So that's again Mary Hope Holland. She is now the co
lead for Family Unite Families United for Trans Rights. Shocking and by the way, I'm not against anybody having Every person deserves rights. I reject the notion of trans rights, of any of white rights or black rights, or it's human rights, my friends, human rights. We all have them, regardless of any of these things. But this is it's an organization of transgender kids and their loved ones. Her child's questioning, the article said, didn't stop
there. It marked the beginning of a year's long evolution, not just for her daughter, who again is we're now calling her biological son. Her daughter noticed that shift, who came out as non binary at age eight and transgender at age ten. So six years old, the questions come out non binary at age eight, I don't think I understood what non binary meant. I don't even know when these terms started floating around. But I was a lot older than eight. I'll tell you that decades later. So then the child
became transgender at ten. According to this article, it was also a journey for Holland and her husband as they navigated what it means to be trans ways of affirming their daughter's gender identity, the responsibilities as parents, and the grief associated with quote letting go of the idea what our life is going to be? I think, unfortunately, and it's tragic, and it pains me to say this, but I think the bigger thing is that they've let go of
the life of the way that their son's life was supposed to be. Anyway, listening to a child's experience, the article says, can be difficult from many parents, regardless of their political or religious beliefs. One of the hardest things for us to do as parents is pause when that vision gets interrupted and
really listen to what our kiddos are saying to us. Say it said Nova Bright Williams a trans woman, so that means biological man, who is head of internal training at the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention and crisis organization for LGBTQ plus youth. By the way, absolutely we should try every way possible to prevent suicide of folks that struggle with this. I have against the idea
of bullying folks that's reprehensible to me. But they've created a scenario that you're either pro trans or you're in favor of them dying by suicide or getting bullied, and that's not the case at all. CNN. The article says, spoke with a doctor, gender rights activists, and parents of trans children about what to say when a child comes out as transgender, how to address certain challenges, and what receiving gender affirming care is like. And so they list
what that conversation is like. So there's the conversation about quote coming out, and then there's ways that you can affirm their gender. Those things are in this article. It's a pretty lengthy article, and then of course there's a section on it being a political lightning rod. So anyway, we'll touch on a few more of these things, my friends, as we as we get into the last hour of the show today, we will do that in and
do course. But again, my heart is out goes out to people who struggle with this or this is in their family, or any any issue like this. There can be there's gonna be some really heavy issues that people deal with, but the choice isn't to fully affirm it or to hate the person. You can say I love the person. I'm trying to direct them through
this. That's to me the option we should all be looking to take here, So navigating helping them navigate through it, excuse me, helping them navigate through that and not violate well biology, science, the laws of science, morality and all that sort of stuff that should be our objective timeouts in order
that my friends sit tight. You're listening to conservative not bitter talk. Not bitter my friends not the least bit upset about these Well, I get fired up, but I don't give up hope on my country or that or that we can return my friends to the truth and even experience great revival in this country. Quick time out though back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So we are talking about again the advice given by CNN here
on how to have this conversation about kids coming out as as trands. And some of you may have had this, and and this is very difficult, and I know it's it's even more difficult if you if you want to help them navigate through it without embracing it or affirming these changes. If you're trying to, if you're trying to keep them in line with truth and science and all that, you have opposition, you have oppositions socially in the culture.
You have people that are going to hate you. You have the struggles your child's going through. You have to worry about what's being said if they're in school, what sort of direction are they being given there, and having to wonder if that's being kept secret from you. I would say, assuming it's being kept secret from you. So this is I know that this is a real issue, and I want to look at a little bit more of this in the time we have available here today, my friends. But before we
do that, Before we do that, let me remind you. Remind you that it's important for us to know how to privately protect our wealth from the digital dollar. It's important for us to understand how to maintain financial freedom, achieve financial freedom, maintain financial freedom, and understand that not just our financial freedom which is at risk, but also our financial privacy and not just financial
but everything pretending to privacy. But when you think about the financial impacts of that in the world that we live in, it's also important to realize that gold as an asset may quite literally be your last line of defense against these things.

particular. So there's stories of people in here who are talking about how they dealt with their children coming out and saying that they felt like they're in a different biological, different gender than what they were quote unquote assigned at birth. And I would say, in general, the advice given here is pretty much the polar opposite of how this should be addressed. And so you can you can look at that, but again, I think, I think the important
thing is here if that does happen to you or someone you know. And I know there's tremendous social pressures, right, I mean, some people in some circles, the more they can say how much their children are trans or these other these other things that are part of the lgbt Q I A plus community, it's almost I mean it for some people, it's it's an honor to say all my kids are something trans or whatever, and we have to fight that. And I know, I know a lot of people struggle with
this. This is not something as a huff I've ever struggled too much with which is I do what I think. I mean, Look, I make mistakes. Don't misunderstand me. But I'm not highly motivated by those pressures. I'm okay if people want to people don't want to associate with me because I believe in something in particular and I don't want to live that way and I don't want to accept it if I don't want to say that it's good and true and it's a reflection of the order of God's design and universe, while
also fully saying that God loves all of us. He loves all of us, He came to reconcile with every person on this planet. It's the desire the Bible says of God that all of us would turn them to be saved. But that's not everybody can do that, and so we need to surround ourselves with people who are supportive. And I know that there's these political pressures, these cultural pressures, but really what needs to happen is, you know,
you need to have blunt conversations. I mean either appropriate for children of course the age that they are, but cut this stuff off at the past. You know, we when I was a kid, I had a friend. One of my friends went on spring break, and think it was in high school. It might have been in college, but I think it was in high schoo We've got a tattoo, which whatever, but he got it. I don't know that he would have gotten it if it wasn't like with
the group sort of thing. And I don't know if he likes it, regrets at any of that today. But the point is the point is is that we all go through these phases where we're trying to figure out who we are, our identity. We have questions we should give answers that are aligned with truth. We're not being concerned about the other pressures and I know that
they're real. I do. I know that they're real. That's why I think it's important to be a part of a community, whether it's a church, whether it's a group of other people, family members, other like minded people in your community, no matter where you are, that they do exist. There may not be many, but they are out there, my friends. Anyway, we're out of time here, have a great day. SDG.
