The California Medical Board attempted to take my California medical license based on free speech. literally based on free speech. They sent me a letter in late 21 saying there were public comments that I made about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, and I should lose my medical license. I said, I moved to Florida. I didn't even need my California license, but I took a stand, put my foot down.

I said, absolutely not. And I fought them for two years. And then I fought them for another year on appeal, and I definitively won. And the California Medical Board has had to retreat on on going after doctors free speech. This is exactly how you keep the First Amendment alive, is you have people who say no.

It's not gonna be done by somebody else. If you're not doing the work, then there's a nonprofit out there doing the work. America's Frontline Doctors happens to be one of them doing the work in the free speech for physicians. It's one of our linchpin issues. We fight for doctors whose license are being threatened over speech. And so That's how you win. It's the hard work, the grinding at it.

A few things. So the First Amendment is strong and you have to just fight for it when it's being imposed upon, infringed upon. There's also, it's illegal to do viewpoint discrimination. So AFLDS, the frontline doctors, has just submitted a meekest brief on viewpoint discrimination because the state of Colorado has blocked counselors from explaining biological truth to children with

gender questions. They've actually said you can't talk about biological truth. You can talk about the dysphoria, but you cannot talk about biological truth. I think they're slam dunk going to lose that. That's going up to the Supreme Court in a few months. Or this, yeah. that's Chili's versus Salazar.
