Bob speaks to detransitioner Chloe Cole from the US about the recent decision where a jury awarded $2 million in a landmark malpractice lawsuit to 22-year-old detransitioner in New York, and Chloe’s own upcoming lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente, a large American medical provider, for medical negligence.

Public opinion on marijuana is also changing. Since 2022, seven out of ten recreational legalisation ballot measures have failed. As marijuana use increases, Americans are seeing the negative impacts firsthand – and NZ’ers should celebrate that they voted No in the referendum in 2020. We dodged a bullet! We speak to Dr Kevin Sabet from SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana).

The ‘transgender agenda’ to ‘trans the children’ is suffering mortal blows – not a moment too soon. These latest events are happening in the US, but this will have a flow-down effect to New Zealand. We’ll make sure it does.
