MATT WALSH (THE DAILY WIRE): I think people are buying the book because we need a little bit of sanity in our culture and especially in children’s books. I mean any parent, --I'm a parent myself, and we know that if you go to the children's section at Barnes & Noble's, you look at all the titles, and it’s like being at an antifa rally or something with all the, just the left-wing propaganda. And to have something that’s a response to that I think is resonating with people. And by the way, I should mention that Amazon, they did this on their own. They listed it as an LGBT book, and right now, currently, for the last few days I've had the top-selling -- not just one of the top-selling books on Amazon, but one of the top-selling, or the top-selling LGBT book. So I'm an LGBT author, and I’m, you know, I think one of the leading LGBT voices in the country right now according to Amazon, and I embrace that.

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): The children’s book publishing industry -- again, most parents, they don’t give a lot of thought to it. But from the books that are assigned, and I can say this from junior high to high school, elementary school, what kids have available in their school curriculum and at reading hour at your public library, so much of it is just -- it’s never going to withstand the test of time, and that’s putting it charitably
WALSH: Yeah, and a lot of it -- when we’re looking at indoctrination, a lot of it, there’s a lot of the racial indoctrination -- anti-racist baby, you now, critical race theory, that kind of thing. But so much of it is gender ideology being foisted on kids at very young ages. Gender ideology is so absurd that they realize that if they want to convince people of it, they have to get to them when they're very, very young and they’re not able to distinguish between fantasy and reality and make these kinds of common-sense judgments. And that’s why it’s so important for them to brainwash the kids early. And it’s why it’s important to protect our kids from that brainwashing.
