From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored, this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country.

It's no surprise that so many kids are being susceptible to this because it is a cocktail that is just too much for a young brain to understand and to cope with properly. So parents have a huge responsibility

to be aware of this and be up to date on the impacts and implications if their kids are

consuming this type of thing. This is your host Scott Bertrand. Welcome to the Radio Free

Hillsdale Hour, part of the Hillsdale College Podcast Network.

That was Mary Margaret O'Lahan, author of the new book, De Trans, True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult.

We'll talk in depth with Mary Margaret later on in today's program.

First, we're joined by Dr. Courtney Mayette.

She is chairwoman and associate

professor of chemistry here at Hillsdale College. Dr. Maiet, thanks for joining us.

Thank you for having me. Last time we talked, well, last time we talked about

bicycling, cycling. But at the beginning of the program, this is years ago at this point,

recently that the U.S. sold off its strategic reserve of helium, and this was in Texas,

which has about 30% of the country's helium. So that obviously resulted in a short supply

for our own country's needs.

So this discovery in Minnesota might help with these shortages.

These helium reserves have normally been found in the Great Plains.

So Minnesota is a little further north.
