MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): Nearly six in ten Americans, 58% are opposed to sex change drugs and surgeries for minors — there's no such thing as a sex change, but, you know, the cosmetic procedures that make you look a little bit more like the other sex — that's a Rasmussen report. 47% of voters say they are strongly opposed to such measures. So you have almost half the electorate is strongly, seriously motivated to oppose this stuff. 30% support sex change drugs and surgeries for minors, 12% are unsure. So that's a distinct minority. Get Kamala on the record here.

Kamala just picked a guy who made it his jihad as governor of Minnesota to trans the kids, who came out and said, I want this state to be a sanctuary and a refuge for trans kids. Run away from your parents, kids, and come over here to my white van with candies and puppies of a state, and we're gonna make sure that you get all the trans stuff you want, man. This is a guy who put tampons in the boys' bathroom in the 4th grade in public schools, as many people have noted. And it's an issue where the Democrats are trying to defend as much as they can. They know this is a vulnerability. Get that woman on the record.

And don't — look, I think that following the logic of transgenderism, it seems clear that either a man can become a woman or he can't, and if it's true that a man can become a woman, then we should trans the kids because it's just a fact of human nature. And if it's not true, as it obviously is not true, then we shouldn't trans anybody, and transgenderism should be eradicated from public life entirely the whole preposterous ideology at every level.

However, we don't need to campaign on that right now. Let's just go where this 58% are. Ask Kamala Harris, get her on the record, do you support transgender procedures for children, for minors? Get her on the record because either she says yes, which I think she has to say and she turns off 58% of voters -- turns off 47% strongly -- or she says no and now her presidential ticket looks completely incoherent and it puts her at odds with the ostensible president, Joe Biden, her own administration, the Biden-Harris administration. Either way, she gets knocked down a peg on an issue that is visceral, that is very emotional, that the vast majority of Americans agree with us on.
