The best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so guest.

For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

All right, today we are going to talk about this Protect Trans Kids reaction that's going on in Texas because of letters that were written by Texas Attorney General Kim Paxton as well as Governor Greg Abbott directing the Department of Family Services to investigate families that are allowing their child to go through transition.

Through chemical castration and hormone therapy and different procedures. There has been a big backlash protect trans kids has been kind of the hashtag or the phrase used by people who are saying that this is terrible.

Terrible this is unconstitutional this is not see like we are even seeing people say so we are going to examine those claims we are going to look at what these letters actually say and what they mean.

And if there is any validity to either side of this and then we are going to bust the propaganda about Florida's don't say gay bill obviously that's not the real name but that's what its opponents have dubbed it and we are going to look at that for page bill and we are going to look at what it actually says versus what people are saying that it says.

Now before we get into that I do want to say President Biden is giving his state of the union tonight and we can expect him to as all presidents do to be fair to paint his presidency in a very positive light that certainly is not something that is unique to Democrat presidents.

He will probably say a lot of things that Republicans that conservatives will say are this representation or a lie and of course the other side did the same thing when Trump was giving the state of the union and conservatives thought that his speech was great Democrats will probably think that Joe Biden speech is great and all of the conservatives are going to be laughing over here because objectively Joe Biden's presidency is not going well.

That's why he is such a low approval rating but tonight will be an opportunity for him to try to do some PR for the accomplishments or the alleged accomplishments that he believes they have they have achieved over the past year or so.

And so we will hear from him on that there is also a chance that he will say basically that COVID is gone at least for now that the restrictions can be removed.

You probably heard that the rule for mask wearing in Congress went away yesterday the day before the state of the union that is again for PR purposes that is to try to better lighten the mood of the American people.

And not make this state of the union look so dystopian try to put Joe Biden at this center of normalcy to basically try to accompany Joe Biden's presidency with the defeat of COVID but really what it should show you and all of the restrictions that we are seeing for strictly political purposes across the country right now should show you that this has never been about the science.

Science really hasn't changed the numbers are still pretty gruesome if you're looking at that.

But they're removing these restrictions in places like New York in California in Congress because the Democrat poll numbers are in the tank and people on both sides of the aisle are tired of these restrictions that should make you very angry that people have suffered under these restrictions especially children for the past two years and because the politics are changing now those restrictions go away.

So it really was never based on science or safety was it especially especially for the children as we've talked about many times so don't be gaslit into thinking that this these past two years have been anything about a political rhetorical game that has ruined people's lives that has hurt people's livelihoods

don't forget about everything that happened even though Democrats are going to try as hard as they can to make you forget and certainly Joe Biden is going to do some more of that tonight.

So we will probably not talk about that tomorrow we're going to wait until Thursday to talk about that and the reason is because I promise to you guys that I would do a theological episode tomorrow and so I will keep my promise and do that the Thursday we're going to analyze some of this stuff and also talk again just the latest and what's going on you cream versus
