 LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Well, Senator, we have European countries that are known to be quite progressive on various social issues that have moved against this aggressive push for gender transitioning in minors. Moved against it, but banning it, outlawing it, obviously, England, we have seen the movement in other European countries. And yet, we have entire practices, large practices, and prestigious hospitals like John Hopkins in Baltimore, the Gender Expansive Care Center with huge publicity, making big money on the mutilation of children and adults. But children. How is this allowed to stand in the United States?

SEN JOSH HAWLEY (GUEST): Yeah, we've got the same thing happening unfortunately in the state of Missouri, Laura. I mean, right under our noses. Listen, we have got the facts of these clinics, who's funding them, and who's making the money on it? Why are they pushing these treatments on parents and kids without fully exploring and telling them what the long-term consequences are, which include sterilization for life? We need to get to the bottom of who is behind this push to, in many cases, mutilate these children without telling them what's actually going on. And all of this goes back to the fact, Laura, we’ve got to get to the facts here in this shooting, we got to prevent this from happening again. We’ve got to tell the truth about what happened in Nashville. 

INGRAHAM: Senator, thank you.
