Chapter 1: What are the implications of Colorado's law on free speech?

0.031 - 16.186 John Bickley

Colorado is trying to silence free speech again. A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns even if they're biologically inaccurate. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian bookstore, and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them.

As we learn more about the harms of medically transitioning children, the Human Rights Campaign, a powerful activist group, continues to push companies to embrace policies that help fund it. At a recent shareholders meeting for Home Depot, detransitioner Chloe Cole sounded the alarm over the corporation's pro-trans policies.

I'm here because I know what happens when big institutions like Home Depot value outside corporate pressure and ratings over the safety and well-being of children and their families.

62.789 - 77.22 John Bickley

Chloe joins us along with ADF's Jeremy Tedesco to discuss corporate America's relationship with the human rights campaign and its impact on children. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. This is a LegalWire edition of Morning Wire.

What do you think your dad actually wants for Father's Day? Because it's probably not another world's best dad coffee mug that ends up in the back of the cabinet by July. Most dads want the same thing, incredible food and an excuse to sit down, relax, and enjoy it with the people they love. That's where GoldBelly comes in.

92.983 - 111.051 Unknown

GoldBelly ships iconic food from legendary restaurants around the country directly to your door. Real Texas barbecue, Chicago deep dish pizza, massive New York pastrami sandwiches, the kind of meals people normally travel for. It turns dinner into an event. If dad's more of a seafood guy, Gold Belly also has legendary Joe's stone crabs straight from Miami. The whole process is surprisingly easy.

111.151 - 125.432 Unknown

The food arrives packed perfectly, includes cooking instructions, and genuinely feels like bringing a famous restaurant into your home for the night. Gold Belly also worked with huge names like Jose Andres, Peter Luger, and Guy Fieri, along with incredible regional restaurants that most people would never otherwise get to try.

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

217.287 - 223.459 John Bickley

So, Chloe, first, could you tell us a little bit about your background for those who may not be familiar with your story?

0

223.895 - 247.633 Chloe Cole

So I am an advocate for the protection of children in the medical realm, especially from underage transgender procedures. And a lot of my own passion on this issue comes from my experience of going through this so-called treatment, this so-called healthcare to attempt to become a boy. between the ages of 12 to 16, coming out of it with regret, with damage done to my body.

248.073 - 257.824 Chloe Cole

After going through puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and a double mastectomy at 15 years old, I've learned that this is not healthcare. This is medical abuse, and it needs to be stopped in its tracks.

258.525 - 270.979 John Bickley

And so you've been speaking out about this, and then specifically, you addressed the Home Depot's shareholder meeting last week for this cause. Why did you feel compelled to do that, and what was your message?

271.432 - 293.477 Chloe Cole

Yeah, so I gave them a prerecorded statement, not just talking about my own experience with the firsthand consequences of these treatments, but I also raised the alarm in the fact that their employee plan actively covers these treatments for dependents, including minor children, which Home Depot is a company that a lot of families rely on to build their homes.

293.557 - 304.054 Chloe Cole

So for them to go in the face of that, to be a part of funding these treatments, is a slap in the face of not just their investors, but also the customers who rely on them.
