Chapter 1: What recent changes have occurred regarding gender transitions for minors?

4.165 - 11.212 Georgia Howe

The American Medical Association, once a staunch supporter of gender procedures for minors, reverses course on the issue.

0

11.853 - 20.021 Dr. Richard Bosshart

It's the old dominoes falling analogy where, you know, the first domino drops and pretty soon the entire line of dominoes is falling.

0

20.442 - 23.665 Unknown

Has the dam now fully broken on medically transitioning kids?

0

24.025 - 31.793 Georgia Howe

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, February 5th, and this is Morning Wire.

37.713 - 44.763 Unknown

Borders are Tom Homan pulls hundreds of federal agents off the streets of Minneapolis, setting a move towards smarter enforcement.

44.783 - 53.175 Tom Homan

We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets.

53.916 - 61.647 Georgia Howe

And Trump says talks with Iran have nearly collapsed after a recent conflict in the Arabian Sea, while tensions with China appear to ease.

62.028 - 81.271 Unknown

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know. This episode is sponsored by BrickHouse Nutrition. You've probably heard about those weight loss injections that everyone's been talking about, and for good reason. The results can be pretty incredible. They work by helping regulate blood sugar and keeping your appetite in check. But here's the thing.

81.652 - 93.488 Unknown

Not everyone wants to deal with weekly injections, especially when you start hearing about some of the side effects that can come with them. That's where Lean comes in. It's a weight loss supplement developed by doctors, and people are seeing some really impressive results.

Chapter 2: How are federal immigration policies shifting in Minneapolis?

220.263 - 239.406 Dr. Richard Bosshart

They have really taken a lot of trouble to provide for a reasoned position that is based on medical evidence. And on that basis alone, I'm very, very happy with that. I just hope they take an even stronger stance and totally denunciate gender-affirming care once and for all.

239.791 - 258.863 Amanda Prestigiacomo

And following the ASPS, we have the AMA, which wields major influence as the nation's largest medical association. They reversed course, too. The AMA told National Review that it agrees with the ASPS that, quote, surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.

0

258.843 - 275.188 Amanda Prestigiacomo

Now, some hedging there, but this is a huge shift for the AMA, which has been rabidly in favor of these procedures for minors. So, for example, the AMA's president said just last year that it's not for him or anyone else to question the so-called experts on trans care.

0

275.87 - 284.563 Amanda Prestigiacomo

The association also made it a point to bash a Supreme Court ruling from this summer that effectively allows states to ban these procedures for minors.

0

284.543 - 301.624 Georgia Howe

We have to note the timing of these changes in stance is very conspicuous. Megan Basham recently reported on the landmark $2 million judgment out of New York State concerning a detransitioner. How does that case factor in here? Is that at the root of these changes?

301.604 - 323.269 Amanda Prestigiacomo

Yeah, I mean, that's very likely beginning to influence medical organizations. Fox Varian was the first detransitioner to get a verdict in her legal battle against the medical professionals who facilitated and then performed the removal of her healthy breasts at just 16 years old. Again, you know, in the name of trans care. As you mentioned, that was a $2 million judgment.

323.369 - 334.699 Amanda Prestigiacomo

So, you know, certainly some worry about liability now, it seems. Here's Boss Hart talking about this change and specifically the more than two dozen detransitioner cases that are currently pending.

334.848 - 344.256 Dr. Richard Bosshart

I'm not in the business of making predictions, but if I had to, I would say that every one of these individuals probably has a case, and I suspect they're all going to win their judgments.

345.237 - 369.128 Dr. Richard Bosshart

I'll be surprised if they don't, given the way this has been carried out with very poor informed consent and addressing long-term issues and not even addressing the underlying problems that so many of these children have. So I would predict there's going to be a wave of judgments in favor. of the plaintiffs in all these cases. And I think it's fantastic.

Chapter 3: What implications does the American Medical Association's reversal have?

641.401 - 659.101 Jenny Ter

And so he said this is going to continue. They're going to continue to go through their target lists and get those people. He said illegal immigrants whose sole crime is just being in the country illegally, they're not off the list. So they should feel that they are also under scrutiny, that ICE will come and get them too.

0

659.161 - 663.306 Jenny Ter

Here's what he had to say about how enforcement efforts will proceed from here.

0

663.59 - 690.12 Tom Homan

This is efficient, requires only one or two officers to assume custody of criminal alien target rather than eight or 10 officers going into the community and arresting that public safety threat. This frees up more officers to arrest or remove criminal aliens. More officers taking custody of criminal aliens directly from the jails means less offers on the street doing criminal operations.

0

691.687 - 695.193 Tom Homan

This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement.

0

695.994 - 703.246 Unknown

It's certainly fascinating to watch Homin try to thread the needle on this very complex political situation. Jenny, thank you so much for joining us.

703.266 - 706.351 Jenny Ter

Thank you.

706.371 - 715.686 Unknown

Talks between Washington and Tehran may be on the verge of collapse after Iranian attacks on U.S. ships. Meanwhile, tensions with Beijing appear to be cooling off.

715.818 - 722.766 Georgia Howe

Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce is here to talk about all the international news so far this week. So, Tim, let's start with Iran. Where do things stand there?

723.287 - 739.767 Tim Pierce

Well, talks seem to be somewhat teetering. However, Washington and Tehran are still on track for a meeting on Friday. But it's been a messy ride. According to the Trump administration, Tehran initially reached out to talk after the U.S. moved the USS Abraham Lincoln and a lot of heavy firepower into the region.
