You're a boy, right? No, I'm a girl. Who
told you you were a girl? Mommy.
When did she tell you you were a girl?
Cuz I love girls. Oh, I see. So, mommy
told you you were a girl? Uh-huh.
Um any does mommy um do anything else
like with a girl with you? Mhm. Like
what? Like dresses. What? What does she
do? She
do puts them on me. She puts dresses on
you. Oh wow. And what else does she do?
She buys my headbands. Uh-huh.
And and and she get me hair clips. Oh,
hair clips. Okay. What else? Some
things. What else?
Like a skeleton. Does she do anything
with your fingers? Yeah. What? She
paints my nails.
So that Why does she do that? Cuz I
don't like nail polish. Oh. So, mommy
puts you in a dress and puts nail polish
on you. And And what does mommy tell
you? She tells me I'm a girl. Oh,
okay. Do you think you're a girl?
do. The state of California says that I
have to pay for the chemical and
physical castration of my son as child
support. I'm not going to pay that child
support. I'm not going to pay anything
to hurt my son. And that means you'll be
going to prison. California is going to
So Jeff, you are going through
something. You've been going through
something that is probably a father's
worst nightmare. Yeah. This Tell me when
this started. Started when my son was
about uh two years old. um my ex-wife
who's a pediatrician
uh in Capel, Texas, um started thinking
that he might be a girl and started
trying to transition him to a girl. And
when I tried to put a stop to that, she
filed for divorce and used her
relationships with care providers to
force me out of my house. And u so I
moved about a mile up the road from my
son's. uh she filed for divorce formally
and I had 50/50 custody of him and just
after his third birthday
um you know I took the first iPhone
video I'd ever taken and it was him
telling me that he thought he was a girl
because his mommy tells him a girl. You
can go on YouTube and just search for
mommy says I'm a girl, you'll find that
video. Um she was telling him things
like, you know, she would put him into
timeout and say don't be a boy. the
monsters only eat boys and weird things
like this. Um, and she began to then
socially transition them and that led to
a titanic battle in the state of Texas
that culminated in me getting the
procedures outlawed in Texas and the
political establishment in Texas
allowing her to come to California so
she could still castrate him even though
I got it outlawed.
Had your son, you have two sons. I have
two sons, James and Jude. They're twins.
They're not
identical. James is the one that she's
transitioning. And was there any sign in
James that he was open to this or or
showing signs that he wanted to be
anything other than Well, you know, it's
interesting. So, he was directly asked
that by counselors and stuff. But, let
me just tell you about the one of the
fundamental facts of the case that a lot
of people find shocking.
James never presented as a girl with
anyone but his
mom. At church,
um, with me, with his friends, he
dressed as a boy and called himself
James. He only presented as a girl with his
his
mom. And I asked him one time, "Why are
you doing
that?" And he just flat out told me, he
said, "Well, mommy doesn't love me if
I'm not a girl." And that's what he told
the counselors, too.
James is a very talented boxer. I'm I'm
a boxer. My dad was a boxer. James is
extremely talented. Jude's a wrestler,
but James is a very talented boxer. Uh
Olympic talent scouts were looking at
him. He's that good. Um and they backed
away from him once this all got started.
Um he has all boyfriends. Now, he has
some things that you might say are
feminine. He likes art.
He particularly likes painting and
pastels. My son Jude likes sculpture,
you know. Uh James is also uh more
extroverted and is willing to play with
almost anybody, you know. Um and he and
he will definitely play with girls.
He'll play tag with girls. He'll play
he'll build things with girls. He has no
problem like hanging around with girls.
Um but in terms of having having um a
desire to be a girl, he consistently
told me for 10 years that that he had no
desire to be a girl. He told the
courtappointed counselor that he was
embarrassed to wear dresses to school.
He was getting too old for that and
didn't want to wear dresses. And they
initiated a CPS investigation against me
for forcing him to be a boy and my
seventh CPS investigation.
And do you have contact with with your
sons now? No, I'm disallowed all contact
with my sons. You're not allowed to even
contact them? No. I'll tell you how this
all sort of built up.
So, she started transitioning him, you
know, really hardcore at three. I mean,
where she presented him to the world
with a fake girl's name and
everything. This, uh, of course, would
have been an important component in the
divorce that was going on. So, we get to
2017 and we have our divorce
trial and we had a custody evaluator.
His name is Blake Mitchell. He practices
out of Frisco, Texas, which is a suburb of
of
Dallas. And he said, he asked me, "What
is your top issue?" And I said, "My top
issue is she's tampering with my son's
gender identity." So, he charges me
$60,000 and does a one-year
investigation of my family, interviewing
my children over and over again,
everything, and determines that she was
not transitioning my son to a girl. He
straight up lied to the court and said
that I had made a false accusation
against her for saying that she was
trying to transition my son to a girl.
And on that basis, I lost 50/50 custody
and got less than standard possession
time. So I basically got, you know, 4
days, four to six days a month with my
sons. So that's how the divorce ended
with the psychologist just outright
lying. Now, I've been lucky with these
psychologists that lie. I've been able
to prove they've lied. So the court
actually set aside his report, but
that's what he actually told the court
in his report. So she then starts really
ramping up it again. And now he's
wearing makeup to school. He's using the
girls restroom at his elementary school,
which was Pinkerton Middle School in
Capel, Texas. Um, I got that school shut
down. That school doesn't exist anymore
in Capel. They shut down, got rid of the
principal there. Her name is Miss
Mickelson, who's the one that really
transitioned my son. And I found out
after two and a half years, they had
been transitioning my son secretly
behind my back. So I would bring my son
to to Pinkerton Middle School in Capel
in boys clothes cuz he wears boys
clothes with me and they would give him
a dress and tell him to use the girls' bathroom.
bathroom.
And when I found that out, I filed
grievances against the public school.
And of course, they exonerated
themselves, saying that under their
nicknames policy, they're allowed to
call him whatever he
wants. And they're allowed to put him in
dresses because he wants to wear it and
it doesn't harm him in any
way. And so there was just no place to
go. It's virtually impossible in Texas
to sue a school district because they
have sovereign immunity.
So, this kept ramping up with my
ex-wife till finally I look in the
medical records with uh my ex-wife chose
a pediatrician, Dr. Jennifer Pape in
Flower Mount, Texas, where I live. And
Dr. Poppy, in the medical records, it
says that her and Miss Georgus, my ex-wife,
ex-wife,
um were planning on chemically
castrating James at age eight or nine.
That's plain black and white in the
medical records.
So obviously I start to voseifouserously
oppose this. I try to get a new uh
pediatrician. I have to go to court to
try to get a new pediatrician. That
leads her to file uh another lawsuit
against me for sole control of James. So
they were at what age were they looking
to do this? At this at at age eight or
nine, they were going to chemically
castrate him. Yeah. And you know, I've
interviewed many many trans uh people
who have transitioned. Yes. And the
majority of them, like I would say 98%
of them are not castrating.
ident they're women. Yes. We used to
call it transvestitism. We don't do that
anymore. They keep changing the name.
Yeah. In my view, they've invented a a
kind of identity around this, but that
we can talk about that. Um but with with
uh what the pattern that you see
is the with boys it's mothers trans
transitioning preubescent boys and they
put them on puberty
blockers and there's a simple reason
that the gender doctors have to put
these kids on puberty blockers and the
reason is puberty is the cure for gender dysphoria.
dysphoria.
Puberty is when you come to grips with
your gender role and you you either
become gay or a boy, right? 98% of the
time they just become That's when the
testosterone kick kicks in. That's
right. And you become That's right. a
boy who chases girls. That's right. For
the rest of our lives. That's right.
Yeah. And so they have to block puberty
to extend the gender dysphoria in order
to get them into the pipeline for the surgeries.
surgeries.
And so there there's a money pipeline
with these clinics. Each child that goes
on puberty blockers becomes a $4.5
million lifetime income stream for the
clinics and they're residual income
streams so that they can have hundreds
of them at the same time. So they're
making hundreds of dollars a year,
hundreds of millions of dollars a year
off of these kids. So they block puberty
to to stop the cure because puberty is
the cure for gender dysphoria. And I
believe puberty is actually a human
right. I I you know puberty is when you
become fully human. Puberty is when your
brain matures. You get a you get a
rational fac an adult rational faculty.
It's when you come to grips with your
roles and your duties in society which
is the marker of a mature adult person
to the someone who can assume those
duties in in a benevolent way. Right?
It's when your body matures as you know,
you know, what a shame it would be for
for these young men. I mean, they'll
never know. These young men that went on
puberty will never know the the the
grace and power the male body is capable
of in its youth. They'll never know
that. Um, and what a shame to miss that.
That confidence that comes from that
carries on into middle age. And you get
that's where you get entrepreneurship
and the risk-taking in America. It's
from the physical experiences. That's
why sports are important in America for
for men. You know, it builds a certain
kind of character. All of that stuff is
what puberty is. And so I consider it a
human right. It's essentially denying a
child the full development of their
rational faculties, their emotional
faculties, and their physical faculties.
And so I think I think it's a it's an
actual human rights violation. So
anyway, it this thing just like goes
crazy, right? Where she's trying to
transition him. They're talking about
castrating him at age eight or nine. So
I immediately go fullcourt press in
Texas to get this made illegal and it
took me six years to do it and hundreds
of thousands of dollars of my own money.
Uh the entire Texas Republican
establishment fought me on it. They
didn't want to they did not want to take
a vote on this. And the reason for that
may surprise you. The transgender
movement was started by Republicans was
not started by Democrats. Yeah, we could
talk about that. um the donor class of
the Republican party did not want this
outlawed. That's why all these
Republican governors were vetoing these
bills when they would pass them and in
Arkansas and Alabama, Mississippi and so
forth. So I I immediately start lobbying
to do this and I have to use grassroots
organizing because I can't rely on the
moral conscience of the legislature
because they're being paid by these
donors that don't don't want it to be
made legal. So that's the first thing.
Then we go to trial in
2019. 255th district court under Judge Kim
Kim
Cooks. The top transgender experts in
the world show up in this little
courtroom. Worldwide media. So I'm an Orthodox
Orthodox
Christian. So uh that James' story went
all over Eastern Europe, even into
Russia, uh uh all over the place. Um
because these are Orthodox countries
that are um formerly Christian
countries. Their state religion is is
Orthodox Christianity and they think of
Texas as being in the Bible belt. So
they're like, "How does this happen to
an Orthodox boy in Texas?" Like it
didn't make sense. So it was a story
that was uh that had legs all all over
these Orthodox countries. So we had
international media there. It was a
circus. So I had Dr. Lavine as my
expert. He founded the first gender
clinic in America in John's Hopkins
University in
1974. And after four years uh in 1978,
they shut their clinic down because
their data showed that their treatments
were harming patients.
And we know now the data that's coming
out of children's hospital here in LA,
the data that the University of Texas at
Austin, which is as liberal as Berkeley,
by the way, um just put out a a a
comprehensive meta study showing that
these treatments actually harm patients.
The Cass report in the UK, which is the
largest systematic review ever done in
any psychological discipline in the
history of
psychology, found it harms patients.
every every meta study and systematic
review finds that these treatments don't
work and they actually harm
patients. So he's he's the one who
testified for me. They had Johanna Olsen
Kennedy who runs at that time was
running LA Children's Hospital gender
clinic. She doesn't anymore because of a
huge scandal
um in which she has been hiding data.
She was given an NIH grant
uh to study outcomes for children on
these treatment programs and she showed
no benefit in her data for the treatment
programs and she chose not to release
the data because she said it would be
used by opponents of transgender
medicine. That's the state of science in
the transgender world. So, she came in,
I deposed her, uh, I did a video
deposition with her and I asked her one
question and the other side dropped her
as an expert. Here's here's the question
I asked her and her answer says
everything you need to know about the
other side of this issue. I said, "What
is your medical justification for
amputating healthy body parts from
children?" She said, "If they cause
psychological distress, they're not
healthy body parts.
opposing counsel was a woman was in the
room. She threw her pen on the floor and
quit the
case. She
left. It was so disgusting. And they
were not going to put her in front of a
Texas jury saying that. So they dropped
her. So I won the 2019 trial. I got
50/50 custody. I got no child support.
But the most important thing is I got a
check on all medical
procedures. So she could not chemically
castrate him at age eight or nine. Okay.
By a few years later after this, I
successfully got a law passed which
outlawed these procedures. You could
lose your medical license for doing
these things. So in that intervening two
years in Texas. Mhm. In Texas. In that
intervening two years, the judges, the
liberal judges in Dallas County,
Texas, got very upset that I got 5050
custody and and that that James is not
going to be
transitioned. So they they Sue Easponte
moved my case from the 255th District
Court into the 301st District Court with
Judge Mary Brown, who I'll henceforth
call Bloody Mary Brown. Judge Bloody
Mary Brown never gave me 50-50 custody,
uh, never gave me a check on on the
medical procedures and never eliminated
my child support. She completely ignored
the jury verdict. And over a period of
about 3 years, she systematically
stripped me of all parental rights. And
she used a technique that's very common
in family
court. First of all, she gave me an
order that I couldn't follow. That's
what they'll do. They'll give you an
order that you just can't follow. So, I
was running for office in Texas. I ran
for uh a Texas representative in House
District 63. And I was in the middle of a
a
campaign and she issued a gag order on
me which gave me a lifetime ban on doing
any podcast
interviews, writing any newspaper
articles, doing blog posts, posting
videos, appearing in YouTube videos.
It's a totally unconstitutional gag
order. It also prohibited me from
talking about three political topics. I
could not talk about transgenderism,
gender dysphoria, or gender
expansiveness. And I was prohibited in
public from telling anyone whether my
son was a boy or a
girl. Well, obviously, if you're running
for office and your your campaign
platform is outlawing transgender
surgeries on kids, you can't follow this
order. And she very well knew I could
not follow it. So, I didn't follow it. I
gave interviews, my campaign materials
referenced the transgender issue and
everything. So that's the first thing
she did. The second thing she did is she
um she reasoned in and this is a classic
family court tactic. So I have an
illegal gag order, right? She she
literally reasoned this way verbally in
court. She said, "Well, there's this
illegal gag order. This gag order that
you say is illegal, Mr. Younger, the
Supreme fascia illegal." Um, but the the
illegal gag order was entered in the
best interest of your
children. So by not following the
illegal gag order, you're not acting in
the best interest of your
children. And on that basis gave me
supervised visitation. And this is a
very common tactic that judges use in
family court as well. And we'll get to
what happened in California. It was just
used on me yesterday at 9:30 Texas time.
And we'll talk about that. So, and and
it's about free speech as well because
they know that's the total gate. What
they try to do in family court is they
try to find out what the father can't do
or won't
do and then they construct orders which
forces him to to violate the
orders and then they take his kids from
him. That's how it works. So, I I had
three principles when I started that I
said I was going to follow because, you
know, I needed some kind of moral guide
here. So, I said, "One, I'm never going
to hurt my son. They're never going to,
no matter what they order, I'm never
hurting my son. That's number one.
Number two, I'm never going to morally
miseducate my son. I'm never going to
tell him things um that are morally
incorrect. I will never miseducate him
in that way." And third, I said I would
never let my resources be used to hurt
him or morally miseducate him. So, those
are the three principles way back in
2017 that I wrote down. It's in my
office, you know, like I live by those
principles. So, they give me supervised
visitation with forensic counseling
services in Dallas County. Notice that I
name names and I name names in every
interview and they've never sued me for
defamation because I can prove
everything I I'm saying is true and
truth is an absolute defense against
defamation. So, forensic counseling
services is run by two gay
men. One of them is fairly rational guy,
kind of like him, nice guy. One of them
though is a huge transgender
activist. He refused to let me change my
son out of address when my son came for
the supervised visits. He refused to let
me use my son's real name, his legal
name. And he refused to let me pray with my
my
sons in the supervised
visits. And here's why he did that. Let
me tell you again how family court
works. He knew very well that my son
would be embarrassed to be in a dress in
front of
me. And he would report that as fear, not
not
embarrassment. And that would give the
court more
ammunition. Right? He knew that if I
used James's real name, he would be
forced to report that James was in boy's
clothes using his boy's name and he was
perfectly comfortable with it with his
father. And he didn't want to report
that. He wanted to report that James is
uncomfortable as a boy, you see. So, he
could not let me uh be with James when
he's when he's just normal
James. And finally,
um these psychologists have no theory.
If you ask them in in depositions like
what is the empirical theoretical basis
for the judgments you put in these
reports, they fully admit that they
don't have any.
They say that they're just making
observations about the child. But you're
like, "Wait a minute." You know, expert
testimony requires a scientific basis.
What's the scientific basis for this?
And they admit they don't have it. But
it's still admitted. Family courts will
still admit
this. So, uh, we got into it with him
and then I said, "Well, I can't do the
supervised visits." So, you see how they
created another condition where I cannot
comply with the
order. You see how it works? Yeah.
So now I'm not complying with a gag
order and now I'm not complying with supervised
supervised
visitation. So they let this go for 18
months, which is a special benchmark in
Texas, right? 18 months with no
visitation. And then my ex-wife filed to
move to California, saying that I had
abandoned my sons because I wasn't going
to I wasn't visiting them. I I was The
judge said, "Well, Mr. younger, you are
we were perfectly allowed to go visit
your sons. There was nothing stopping
you from visiting your sons, and you
just haven't done
it." And I tell her, "Well, you know, I
I would morally miseducate my son. I
would be directly harming my son by
using his girl's name and teaching him
that he's a girl when he's not. And you
would be forcing me to pay $500 per
visit, which is what it costs per visit.
uh so I'd be using my resources to hurt
my son and I've told this court
repeatedly those three things I'm never
going to
do and she said
well I conclude that you have abandoned
your sons because you had every
opportunity to go visit them this is the
game they play so Judge Bloody Mary
Browns then allowed my ex-wife to move
my kids to California since I had
abandoned them in Texas of course not
not to mention that I write them letters
all the
time, you know, uh, every time they go
into a new school grade, you know, I ask
them to tell me what they're studying.
Um, that I'm, you know, I have a I have
a substack and I write letters to them
online all the time. None of this stuff
is even in the orders. It was, it was
not even allowed to be entered into
evidence. It was all, they said it was
all hearsay. It's another thing they do.
they keep out some evidence so that they
can only the judge can say you know on
appeal the judge say well this is the
only facts I had available you see this
is the game that gets played if you want
to know um you know how the the
corruption in the Trump trials could
happen the template was from family
court it was family court lawyers that
built the template for how to do this in
criminal and civil courts family court
was the template for it and was
developed these these strategies were
developed by unscrupulous law firm firms
uh in the late 80s and early 90s and uh
judges received most of their campaign
donations from these law firms. And so
the judges have kind of gone along with
it. And now we've got from the '9s to
now all the judicial training programs
are run by those unscrupulous law firms.
And so judges think this is just normal.
You know, Jud family court judges will
just brag like, "Yeah, we violate
people's constitutional rights all the
time because we go with the best
interest of the child.
And they brag about violating parents'
constitutional rights. And they hated
me, hated me for making constitutional
rights arguments because the great fear
of all family courts is that one day
some father is going to make it into federal
federal
court. And they're going to have to rule
that these gag orders are
unconstitutional, that these supervised
visitations are unconstitutional.
Because honestly, if there hasn't been a criminal
criminal
adjudication that a a parent is
unfit or unwilling to parent, then
there's no basis for the court to
interfere in the parent child
relationship. There is no 14th amendment
basis to do it. So the federal courts,
I've been up to federal court many times
trying to get in the federal court. I
know many fathers to have as well.
There's an actual rule propagated by the
Supreme Court and every chief justice uh since
since
1988 has reaffirmed the rule and it just
says we're not taking any cases out of family
family
court. It's it's called the domestic
relations exception rule. They just say
we're not taking any cases out of family
court. Doesn't matter if it implicates
your constitutional rights. Doesn't
matter if it violates the civil rights
statutes. Uh doesn't matter. We're not
taking anything out. uh any cases from
family court and so they all just get
dismissed. They never get heard. Um and
that's what's happened to me repeatedly.
It's crazy. It's crazy. It's absolutely
crazy. What What has this done to you emotionally?
emotionally? Oh,
Oh,
well, what's the best way to describe
that? So, imagine you have
children and imagine like me, you you
had children late in life. These are the
only kids you're ever going to have.
two boys and you're really close with
them. You're really, really close with
them to the point where they can almost
read your mind and you can almost read
their mind, you know. Um, it was
something that my my current wife would
always remark on that we would all three
of us just get up and go do things and
we didn't talk about it. We all knew
like somehow we were just that close.
So, imagine you have kids that you're
that close with
with
and you're put in a
chair and a judge brings your children
into the
room and initially threatens to sexually mutilate
mutilate
them, to castrate them,
um, and begins to teach them all kinds
of things that are completely against
your ethical beliefs, totally against
your ethical beliefs and the children
are punished harshly if they don't
ascent to these crazy
things. And imagine eventually they
chemically castrate your kids and you
got to sit there and the judge and and a
police officer are watching you
intently. And if at any time you show
anger or you stand up or you gesture in
a strong way, they're going to conclude
that you are a domestic
abuser and they're going to arrest you
and put you in jail for domestic
abuse. So you have to sit there and
remain totally calm in the slow motion
sexual abuse of your
child. That's what it's like. That's
what it's been like for me. It's
horrifying. I see the end result that's
coming and if I am too masculine in my
response, they're going to say, "You're
abusive. You're, you know, they tried so
hard with my sons, the counselors,
courtappointed counselors, they tried
for years um with my sons. They're like,
"Isn't Mr. Younger an authoritarian
parent?" They ask leading questions like
that of my sons. It's in the records.
Isn't Mr. you're younger and
authoritarian. Isn't he tell you what to
do all the time? And of course, I'm just
the opposite. My sons were like, "No,
dad doesn't have any rules." They're
like, "What? No rules in the house?
Like, I don't have rules." No. Dad just
tells us to be reasonable with people.
And if we're reasonable with people, we
don't have to have
rules. He did have to make one rule. I
remember James saying, "Dad did have to
make one rule. We broke two iPads. So
now we have to keep our iPads on tables.
They can't be on the floor. But that's
the only rule we have. And so they could
never pin that on me. But that's another
strategy is they weaponized
masculinity, right? So I had to retach
myself how to talk in court. I talk like
a woman in
court. I literally I literally got
female attorneys and emulated them.
Learned how to talk like them. Because
uh the masculine way that a boxer like
me relates to another boxer, uh you're
you're you're not only going to lose
your kids, they're going to put you
under a domestic violence restraining
order and you're going to lose your
passport. You're going to lose your
lensure in the state. If you if you're a
stock broker, you're going to lose your
license. You can't possess a firearm.
Lifetime can't possess a firearm.
They're going to do that to you if
you're too masculine. So I had to
retrain all that. So, so not only
imagine you're watching your kid being
sexually abused, but now you got to
start acting like a
woman and be very
passive because it could get much worse
for your kid actually. They could remove
you in such a way that they could give
you a lifetime restraining order and you
could never contact your kids again for
the rest of their lives.
So, there's a chance you might be going
to prison for this, right?
Yeah, I I could tell you that I'm I'm
definitely going to be going to prison
because the current position of of of
the law is that I have to pay for the
chemical and physical castration of my
son as medical child support. And I I
told you the three principles we've gone
through that I'm never going to hurt my
son. I'm not going to let my resources
be used to hurt my son. So, I'm just not
going to pay that child support. I'm not
doing it. And eventually, I'll be
prosecuted for it. and California, I
could get up to two years and
slammer. So, that's the kind of pressure
and emotional
um boiler is the way I would describe it
that you're
under. It's it's pretty intense. And you
know, you're you know, when I'm arguing
in court and I gave up using lawyers
years ago because the bar is a
cartel and uh bar members of the bar are
never going to challenge judges on these
fundamental rights issues. That's why
one of the reasons we never get really
rights issues heard is lawyers won't
make them. They won't make them to
judges because it's challenging the
judge. So I went prosay a long time ago
and I've been much more effective
prosay. But, you know, I have to sit
there and make So, you're representing
yourself? Oh, yeah. I've been doing that
for for seven years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And I've beat some of the top law firms
in America. I mean, I don't think it's
that hard to be prosay. The biggest
problem you have as prosay is the judges
the judges are supposed to give you more
leeway as prosay. Like, if you make a
mistake, they're supposed to say, "Hey,
do did you mean to do this or can we do
it this way?" They're allowed to do that
with prosay. They're not allowed to do
that with a bar attorney. But in
practice, what actually happens is they
never tell you your
mistakes. They never they in fact they
try to trick you. And uh family court
judges in particular are notorious for
getting parents to voluntarily wave all
of their constitutional
rights. Um so I'll give you an example
of that in Texas. So judge entered this
order for supervised visitation and all
this and she very politely says you know
Mr. Younger I really think we can if you
go to these supervised visits we can get
this order removed and all this stuff
and it's all lies judges are just actors
and she says you know so are you
prepared to sign the order now and I
said well judge I'm I'm not going to
sign the
order and she said Mr. younger. This is
a court of law and this is an order from
the court. And I said, "Well, then you
need to sign it. It's your
order." What she's trying to trick me
into doing was signing approval of the
order. Now, I can't appeal it, and I've
voluntarily given her jurisdiction over
all the matters
listed. Okay? That's one of the tricks
they do. So, she she said, "Well, I
mean, I don't know what to do. I'm going
to have to have another hearing." I
said, "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll agree that it has the form of a
judicial order. I'll agree to the form
of the order, but I don't agree to any
of the content. So, I sent us the form,
but not the
content. And she was forced to to just
put it out there without my
signature. Most parents uh will sign
those documents. Most lawyers who are
representing parents will sign the
document. And if your lawyer signs the
document, you asented to it.
So actually most of the things that
happen in family court that violate
parents rights, parents are tricked into
giving up their rights and I never did
that and that's what drove them crazy
and that's why they eventually had to
let my son move out of Texas. What a
nightmare for you. Yeah. Yeah. Has did
James show any signs of wanting to be a
female around you? Never. In fact, I had
a dress at home in his closet and uh I
taught him mathematics through
woodworking and stuff, you know, you
know, so we built their beds and
everything and so they had their own
room and they had the furniture was all
custom, you know, stuff and they had
this um they tricked out the closet with
how they hang their stuff up and all
that. And he had a dress in
there and I said, "Look, if you want to
experiment wearing a dress, you can you
can do that here in the house. It's no
problem. You do it anytime you want. Few
weeks go by and I hear this noise. I get
up. I'm on I have a bed. My master
bedroom's on the down downstairs floor.
I get up and James is going back up. The
light goes off and he threw the dress
away in the middle of the night when he
thought I wasn't looking. So, I never
saw any of these things. And even when I
would go to, and I have tons of video of
this, you know, I'll go to pick my son
up for my visitation periods from my
ex-wife's house, he comes out of her
house in boy's
clothes. I mean, you could argue that
he's doing that just to please his dad.
Yeah, definitely. But what it shows is
he's comfortable in boys clothes at his
mom's house and his and his dad. Do you
think the
mom kind of brainwashed him into
thinking this was something that was Oh,
there's no question in my mind about it.
Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I mean, when I told
you when I asked him that question, why
did he do this? And he says, "Mommy
doesn't love me if I'm not a
girl." That's why he did it. That's why
why he did it, you know, and and you
know, I have had a lot
of so-called gender experts, you know,
cuz I've I've had just in my California
trial recently, you know, I put a they
put an expert on the stand that I
destroyed a trans transgender top
transgender doctor from Children's
Hospital here. Destroyed destroyed this woman.
woman.
Um, so I talk to them all the time and
they say, "Well, gender is innate and
immutable. It's something that you're
born with. It's innate and
immutable." Um, and so I always I just
go, "Well, if it's innate and
immutable, then how could there possibly be
be
dransitioners? How could that even be possible?"
possible?"
Um they'll say things like um you know
uh people know their gender identity
from an early age. How is that when
there's no sexual identity that you have
until you go through puberty, early
stages of puberty? How is that possible?
Like it contravenes everything we know
about child development from before. So
in this regard, I'm somewhat different
than a lot of the people that oppose
this child transgender stuff.
I think actually you learn to be a man
and a woman. I don't think I think
there's a set of
potentialities, you know, like a male
child um is going to have testosterone,
higher testosterone levels, and there
are different potential behaviors from
that from a child that has less
testosterone like a female child. Um but
basically you learn to be a man mainly
from other
men and this used to not be very
controversial. You know if you look at
the whole history of child rearing in
the western world and even I know quite
a bit about the eastern world uh it's
very similar there. Children typically
were raised by their mothers until they
were 9 to 12. And that's actually the
origin of why Italians were kind of
considered mama's boys because they
stayed in the home till they were 12
when Germans you know uh left home left
their mother's home at nine you know so
they're like ah look at those Italians
they stay with their moms you know but
it but basically men raised older
children who were boys and women raised
young children and girls that's how the
world has worked forever right you learn
to be a man from other
men And um it's not
innate. And I think the prison studies
show this on even sexuality. I think
sexuality is
fluid. Like these things are not uh like
identities. And that's really if I had
to put my finger
finger
on like where this crazy stuff came from
from
is there there was a in the in the
middle part of the 20th century, but it
started before that goes back to the
late 1800s. There was a radical
redefinition of the human person.
So what's happening in America is not
really a conflict over transgender
rights or left versus right or um you
know uh you know social construction
theories in psychology versus um you
know versus you know uh innate
uh views of the innate person. It's not
that. That's not what's happening.
What's happening is we have two large
groups in America that just don't agree
on what a human person
is. And so when I say he's my child, the
word child, they don't mean the same
thing when they say child. And let me
give you an example of
this. So there's a really good book by a
guy named Truman. It's called The Rise
and Triumph of the Expressive Self,
which chronicles this change, this
change. And
um you know if you were to ask my grandfather
grandfather
um you know he was a farmer and he he
literally could outwork two weeks before
he died. He literally outworked me on
the farm. He could literally outwork me
to the day he died. Tough tough tough
guy. And if you would to ask him like
does farming fulfill you? Is this are
you so fulfilled as a farmer? you
probably would have spent four hours
trying to explain the question because
those categories don't go in his mind
don't go together. Farming was a way he
raised his kids and sent his kids to
school. And you he did the hard physical
labor and now his kids can do white
collar labor and he did that by farming.
You know, it wasn't something he liked
to do. Just was it didn't even occur to
him that whether he would like it or
not. He just had to do it,
right? That you can see it's pretty easy
for people to see there's been a
different change in the way we think
about work. People can see that. It's
harder to see how this idea of the
person changed, but you can see it very
clearly with sexual
identity. So, you ask a Christian like
me about sexual identity and I'm going
to say, "I don't even know what that
is." Sexuality is a
behavior and you're in control of your
behaviors. So, I don't know what you
mean by an identical identity. It
doesn't make to me. It doesn't even make
sense, right? And to a large portion of
America, it doesn't make
sense. Right? So when people talk about
sexuality, they're really not talking
about the same thing. Then on the other
side, if I steal man, the other side,
the other side will say, well, no,
sexuality is innate and
immutable and who you're attracted to is
innate and immutable. So it's a status,
not a
behavior. And we don't agree on that in
this country. Right? Similarly with
transgenderism, this idea of a gender
identity. Well, I think of gender
identity as something you learn
behaviors and duties that you learn from
your father and you carry on to your
children and has to be taught. If it has
to be taught, how could it be innate and
immutable? How could the gender
expression of males be different across
cultures if it was innate, biologically
innate? That doesn't even make sense,
right, to me?
Now, let's steal man the other side. And
here's what I think goes on in the mind
of these people that want to transition
their kids, especially
boys. They go, "Well, here's this child,
and I believe that sexual identity is
the center point of human identity. It's
the starting point of almost all aspects
of human identity." And people I've had
a lot of people who are on the right
with me who say why would anyone believe
that? And I'm like well imagine you have
a view that's completely conditioned by
the theory of evolution for example.
It's the theory of evolution is the
theory of sexual
selection. So your sexuality is the
primary mover of all human progress and
advancement. It makes perfect sense
actually when you think about it like
that. So sexuality is this center pivot
point at which all other parts of your
identity move around. So now you look at
a child who maybe is struggling in
school or
something and you go well this child has
no sexual identity. They're
preubescent. It sexual identity doesn't
develop until you're the early part of
puberty. So when they look at a child
they see a child with no identity
because there's no sexual identity. So
they give the child one. They give the
child a sexual identity by which they
can express themselves. And they use
that language. When you listen to them,
this is the language they use. I want to
give my child an identity so they can
express themselves and experiment with
who they really
are. This is the language that they use.
The idea of experimenting with your
identity. And you see that contradicts
innate and immutable too. That doesn't
work either. But that's the strongest
way I can show this change in human
thinking about it. Even on sexuality and
gender, half the country thinks it's a
behavior and half the country thinks
it's an innate and immutable biological
trait. And so there's no way for us to
have a rational discussion about this
unless we understand how we're not we're
using the same words for different
concepts. So, we're talking past one
another. And when I'm in court, I'm very
adept at explaining that to judges and
showing that what these transgender
doctors are saying is
incoherent with our entire knowledge of
child development in the past. So the
transgender issue isn't really just a
um it's not just some child policy issue
or some you know crazy liberals as a lot
lot of conservatives it's just crazy
liberals and all it's not that it's it's
much more fundamental than that we have
become so decadent and I don't mean like
u you know debouched I mean in the Latin
sense decadenced we have become so out
of step with one mother that we don't
even agree on what a human person
is and we can't raise our children the same
same
way and that's how bad it's
become and I think the future is going
to look and I recognize this going to go
on YouTube so I have to be careful I say
this the future is going to look
something like
this if we're going to stay
together and we're going to pursue uh a
national uh identity together. These two
groups that don't agree on fundamental
things, they don't agree on the good
life. they don't agree even on what a
human person is are pro we're probably
going to have to go back to a radical
federalist idea in this
country where we just go okay California
is going to chemically castrate kids and
in Texas you'll get the death penalty for
for
it and we're just going to have to
accept that California and Texas just
don't have we don't have to live the
same kind of
lives. Um, but the transgender issue is
the Fisher point. It's the issue which
defines all of the other differences.
It's the one that shows most clearly
because people either ascent to it or
they don't and there's no in
between. So, it's a bellweather issue
for the country and we should pay close
attention to it, I think, because of
that. Yeah.
So, your your sons are how old now?
They're 12, almost 13. And has James
done any hormone therapy or any kind of
So she doesn't have to notify me, but
she filed in court in California to put
him on puberty blockers. So I'm pretty
sure he's on puberty blockers. And I
should probably tell you how he got to
California. So Judge Bloody Mary Brown,
31st District Court, Dallas, Texas,
issues this order which allows her to
move my son to
California. I actually seek emergency
mandamus relief from the Texas Supreme Court.
Court.
and I went up there with Justice uh
Young and Justice Blacklock who were
leading the court's analysis of my
case. Justice Blacklock rather absurdly,
and this is under the influence of the
donors, said that my son was no more
likely to be chemically castrated in
California than in Texas, which is just
the stupidest thing you could ever say.
It's illegal in Texas and it's required
in California. It's a required medical
treatment in California that
12-year-olds can consent to, by the way, in
in
California. So, he made that up. He made
that up. And about 6 months after he
issued that ruling, the governor of
Texas promoted him to chief justice. And
what happened was I created so much
mayhem in Texas to get that law passed
and outlawing this stuff in Texas that
the Republicans in Texas said, "We just
want this case to move out of the out of
the state so it's not a political problem
problem
anymore. They wanted it to move to
California." And so and that's what
they're telling all the constituents
now. Well, that Jeff Her case is in
California. It's not Texas. There's
nothing we can do about it anymore.
Yeah. Yeah. That's how the world really
works. The world, you know, you we think
of the courts as these um august
institutions with men who, you know,
study old books and uh they apply, you
know, common sense and wisdom and that's
not No, it's highly political.
Everything that goes to the courts is
highly political. So, um, and I, you
know, I I it's my intention to go after
Justice, uh, Blacklock, Chief Justice
Blacklock in the Supreme Court, and
remove him from office, and I'll be
working very hard to do that over the
next 5 years. What does this mean for
you legally? Are there things that are
there repercussions for you? Yeah. So
what happened was the case got moved to
to LA County and I wind up in department
63 under judge Mark UAS and in right
from the very beginning some very
strange things happened in my in this
case. So I had a federal case going
on and it was just just to seek
declaratory relief to relieve me of the
unconstitutional gag
order. There was a mistake made. Do you
know the mofo law firm? I don't. Morris
Forester. They are the most powerful law
firm in California. They represent
Google, Facebook, and all those people.
That's the law firm I was facing. Their
retainers are
astronomical. So, I've always known that
my wife was getting help from somewhere,
but because it's so much money, like how
can she afford the retainers on the
lawyers in Texas is the law firm is
Coons Fuller. Their minimum retainer is $175,000
$175,000
minimum. and they triple that at going
to trial. Like, so she's she's spending
half a million dollars every time she
sues me. And she sued me over and I've
been in a continuous lawsuit for 11
years. So imagine she spent millions of
dollars. Where's this money coming from?
Well, I learned this in the federal
lawsuit once I had moved to California.
I file in the central district with the
federal court to get rid of this gag
order. And the mofo lawyer, Mofo is
Morris Forest. So that's that's actually
their website, mofo.com.
So sends an email and I think there were
there were a number of lawyers copied in
the C money. I think those lawyers
should have been in the BCC field, the
blind copy field, but they were in the
CC field and I think it was a mistake.
And they were lawyers from
uh uh nonprofit NOS's that are funded by
Soros. So it it became very apparent to
me at that point why
uh it was so politically difficult to
get the law passed in Texas and so
forth. So let me now explain a little
bit of the background about how
Republicans actually started the transgender
transgender
movement. So the largest donor to the
Republican party today is a guy named Paul
Paul
Singer. And Paul Singer founded the
Human Rights Campaign. You know the
yellow equal sign? Yeah. A Republican
founded that. not not a Democrat. And he
also runs the Manhattan Institute,
completely funds it, which is a
prominent conservative think tank. He
funds the Claremont Institute and is a
substantial donor to the Heritage
Foundation. So, he has a lot of say over
what these people do.
Um he's deeply committed to the
transgender issue and uh funded lawsuits
for it all over the country. Created the
framework for corporations to uh the
scoring system for gay and transgender
people that are used for investments,
you know, like Vanguard and all these
big investment things whether they're
going to invest in buy your stock or
not. He invented all that all that
stuff. So he's the largest donor of the
Republican party. He's the largest
Texas. So that's what I'm actually
fighting here. That's what I've actually
been fighting. Billionaire hedge fund
guys that want leftist social
policies. So I'm in this California
court and I find this I'm like I see
these lawyers and these
foundations and uh I'm like, "Oh, that's
what's really happening."
So then I I'm, you know, my antenna is
up. Um, in California is weird. In
family court, you get three judges in a
California family court. You get a
supervising judge, which was Judge
Calfman in LA County. You get a home
court judge, which was Judge Kazati, and
then you get a trial judge. And it
allows you to kind of almost have like a
little appeal for for things. If
something doesn't go quite right, you
can go back up to the supervising judge,
have a look at it. Right. Um, so right
off the bat, we meet with home court
judge, Judge Kazati. She's completely
taken my side. She's like, "Why can't
this man see his kids? There's no reason
he can't see his kids. There's no
domestic violence. There's no there's no
even allegations of abuse. It's never
occurred. Like, why can't he see his
kids?" Opposing council, it starts
texting. Then the judge picks up her
phone and reads a
text and she says,
We're going to take a 30-minute recess.
She walks out of the courtroom. Even the
court reporter was like, "What? What
happened?" She comes in after 30 minutes
and says nothing other than the
following. This case is
sealed. I walks
out. The clerks at the LA County
Courthouse completely deleted all my
records. My lawyer could not access
them. I could not access them. Nobody
could access them except interestingly
opposing council, the one who sent the
text, could still access them. So that's
the first thing weird that happened. My
entire record was
deleted. Not they have a way of keeping
it offline so you can only get paper
copies. They have a way of protecting
the paper copies where you have to get
permission from a judge. They didn't do
that. They actually deleted it. So, um,
that happens. Then they collapse all
three of those judicial functions into
one judge, Mark UAS, who's my trial
court judge. So, now he's the
supervising judge, the home court judge,
judge. He rules that the records are
sealed, the case is sealed, and no one
may enter the the courtroom except me,
the lawyers, and expert witnesses. So,
the public was denied the right to view the
the
there. And this is really important and
the judge probably had to do this um to
prevent himself from being
prosecuted. Um so, there's a whole
network of court watchers in family
court and and here's here's what we
found. Some of them will secretly
record. They're not supposed to, but
they'll secretly record the
proceedings. Then we get the court
reporter's record, and it doesn't match
the audio
recording, and it happens all the time.
Happens all the time. The judges are
instructing the court reporters to alter
the record to prevent an
appeal. And a lot of times, these judges
are committing felonies on the bench by
violating criminal
statutes. That won't be in the record.
One of the one of the things in my
written record that's that's a lot.
They'll just they just put three dots
and say they couldn't hear me. They
couldn't hear me. So I made objections
which were important on appeal, but they
don't show in the record because the
court reporter couldn't hear
me. So that's why he had to keep people
out of the court to prevent illicit
recording because he knew very well what
he was going to do. And sure enough,
right off the bat, he denies me an
independent medical exam. So we the
medical status of this child is the
fundamental issue, right? The medical
and psychological status of the child.
He denies me independent medical exam.
He denies me an independent
psychological exam and the other side
didn't even have to give me evidence in
discovery which violates the discovery
act in California and is grounds for
disparment. I didn't get any discovery
in my case but I had to provide
discovery. I provide over a thousand
pages of discovery. That's a lot of
work, you know, a week's worth of work.
So, right off the bat, he goes down this
road. Then I noticed a change in him and
I think somebody on the pellet court got
to him and said, you know, you're being
so unfair to the guy. I don't know that
we if he comes up here, we'll have to
rule for him because it looks so bad
right now. So then he became
scrupulously fair after that.
and um let me make my case. Um I
destroyed their
witnesses. Then um when he comes out
with his
ruling, he basically uh removes the gag
order, the the illegal gag order because
in California, apparently in the pellet
court, that's just not going to stand
here. They don't they allow free speech
here. So that's it.
Um, I even in a very funny moment in the court forced him to admit that
court forced him to admit that right-wing speech was free
right-wing speech was free speech and he really didn't want to do
speech and he really didn't want to do that, but that was pretty funny. Um, so
that, but that was pretty funny. Um, so he he he takes that gag order off. Then
he he he takes that gag order off. Then he still keeps me on supervised
he still keeps me on supervised visitation, but he now says phone calls
visitation, but he now says phone calls have to be
supervised. So a phone call to my kid is going to cost me 500 bucks.
going to cost me 500 bucks. Right. And he says she doesn't have to
Right. And he says she doesn't have to give the kids your
give the kids your letters. And if you send presents, she
letters. And if you send presents, she doesn't have to give them to to the
doesn't have to give them to to the kids. And she doesn't have to tell you
kids. And she doesn't have to tell you anything about their medical or
anything about their medical or educational or anything. You don't get
educational or anything. You don't get any notifications at
any notifications at all. So that's what happened. So we go
all. So that's what happened. So we go through some post-trial litigation
through some post-trial litigation after. They're trying to get me to pay I
after. They're trying to get me to pay I think $99,000 and legal fees and all
think $99,000 and legal fees and all this
this stuff. It's a really It's really about
stuff. It's a really It's really about the family court is really about getting
the family court is really about getting the father to fund all the litigation
the father to fund all the litigation because they want the father to go away
because they want the father to go away basically. So, um we're doing this
basically. So, um we're doing this post-trial litigation. I file an
post-trial litigation. I file an anti-SLAP
anti-SLAP lawsuit and California has an anti-SLAP
lawsuit and California has an anti-SLAP statute which lets you challenge any
statute which lets you challenge any attempt to silence your speech and it's

in the first three weeks. It's actually the first time elected officials ever
the first time elected officials ever kept a promise to me. Um, and I do
kept a promise to me. Um, and I do think James is not on crossex hormones

senators who have already introduced bills to allow
bills to allow uh children who have been victimized by
uh children who have been victimized by these procedures with a 30-year statute
these procedures with a 30-year statute of limitations because we don't know the

long-term effects of this stuff to sue the clinics. That long statute of
the clinics. That long statute of limitations would be enough for most
limitations would be enough for most clinics to shut it down because it's too
clinics to shut it down because it's too risky legally.

calls for. Um, so the the Trump has directed the agencies to work with the
directed the agencies to work with the Congress to make that happen. So all the
Congress to make that happen. So all the agencies
agencies um will assist me in doing that and I'll
um will assist me in doing that and I'll be I'll be there next month uh in DC
be I'll be there next month uh in DC working on that. So, basically what's
working on that. So, basically what's happened is um my ex-wife generated more

leftist political power in Texas and California than I was
power in Texas and California than I was able to produce. She produced more
able to produce. She produced more political power than me and was able to

at right now. Heartbreaking story. Yeah. How's your
Heartbreaking story. Yeah. How's your mental health?
Well, there's some things I've learned. Um I remember sitting in a deposition
Um I remember sitting in a deposition facing Jessica Janisk who was the top
facing Jessica Janisk who was the top attorney from Coons
attorney from Coons Fuller. She's a specialist in removing
Fuller. She's a specialist in removing fathers from children's life because
fathers from children's life because she's she has a technique for getting
she's she has a technique for getting every father onto supervised visitation.
every father onto supervised visitation. Took her a long time with me, but she
Took her a long time with me, but she eventually got me. Um, I was in a
eventually got me. Um, I was in a deposition
deposition and she was using incredibly insulting
and she was using incredibly insulting language about my children and other
language about my children and other things and I realized she was trying to
things and I realized she was trying to bait me to act like a man. And if I
bait me to act like a man. And if I acted like a man, they can say I'm
acted like a man, they can say I'm abusive. And I realized that being
abusive. And I realized that being calm was a weapon that I could use.
calm was a weapon that I could use. And I I can tell you definitely in that
And I I can tell you definitely in that California courtroom, my calmness saved
California courtroom, my calmness saved me from lots. It could have been a lot
me from lots. It could have been a lot worse for me from Judge Mark UAS. But bu
worse for me from Judge Mark UAS. But bu that that ability to be
that that ability to be calm and that has actually I think had
calm and that has actually I think had mental health benefits. I'm sure you
mental health benefits. I'm sure you know to be under extreme stress and
know to be under extreme stress and duress but be able to remain calm. The
duress but be able to remain calm. The way you presented this whole story
way you presented this whole story without getting upset or swearing or
without getting upset or swearing or anything like that. Yeah. And I really
anything like that. Yeah. And I really want to is remarkable. You've probably
want to is remarkable. You've probably saw me bite back a few because I know
saw me bite back a few because I know we're on YouTube, but it's like so
we're on YouTube, but it's like so there's that.
there's that. Um I think there's
Um I think there's um there's a sense also of the long
um there's a sense also of the long game, you know.
game, you know. Um no matter what happens to
Um no matter what happens to James, there's nothing that he no
James, there's nothing that he no mistake he can make that's so bad he
mistake he can make that's so bad he can't get to
can't get to heaven. He he can always get to heaven,
heaven. He he can always get to heaven, right?
right? Um, and so you have to have a sense of
Um, and so you have to have a sense of proportion. It's a temporary life we
proportion. It's a temporary life we lead here. I believe in a a a trans a
lead here. I believe in a a a trans a life that transcends this this life. And
life that transcends this this life. And if you have a belief like
if you have a belief like that, you take things seriously, but not
that, you take things seriously, but not too seriously. You know what I'm saying?
too seriously. You know what I'm saying? Um, so my son's uh the condition of my
Um, so my son's uh the condition of my son's spirit will be is more important
son's spirit will be is more important to me than his body, put it that way.
to me than his body, put it that way. Um, and so I'm playing the long game.
Um, and so I'm playing the long game. And I mean, I'm 60, you know, well, I'm
And I mean, I'm 60, you know, well, I'm almost 60. And, you know, I just want to

traits that his brother has, his brother Jude. Um, and build on those things. So,
Jude. Um, and build on those things. So, I'm just playing the long game. And I

you know, and and if when you understand that that attitude that my dad gave me,
that that attitude that my dad gave me, I think has really helped me because,
I think has really helped me because, you know, when I'm down, I just I just
you know, when I'm down, I just I just get to work and make the situation 1%
get to work and make the situation 1% better for
better for James. And that could mean anything from
James. And that could mean anything from writing him a letter, putting it online,
writing him a letter, putting it online, uh it could mean saying prayers for my
uh it could mean saying prayers for my son, which I do every day. It could mean
son, which I do every day. It could mean talking to elected
