[cheering] can you believe it? utilization. if you said 10 years ago or 15 years ago we will stop that utilization of children people would say what is he talking about? today you have to say because that is what they are doing. utilization of children without parental consent the whole thing is insane the country has gone insane

we did not talk about that growing up in very conservative northern michigan. i wanted to include more stories about coming out and learning to love myself and embrace my differences and how that helped me in political and public life. host: had you come out by the time you met the secretary? chasten: yes, i came out to my parents the summer i turned 18. host: what was that like for you in traverse city, michigan? chasten: it was tough. i wrote a letter apologizing to my mom and i ran away from home. i couch surfed with friends. i tried to get through community college. i tried to figure it out. luckily, my parents called me home. they did not know anything about raising a gay kid. they put aside the prejudices of other people aside. they put all of that aside because they wanted to keep their kid safe and alive. host: had you heard anti-gay sentiments growing up in your family? in your school and community? chasten: that was the norm. my family is a very loving and insular family. one of the common reactions and conversations that came after coming out, once i

michigan courts have recently reinterpreted michigan's civil rights law to a sexual orientation and gender identity. this means christian health care centers must provide cross programs -- cross hormones to a child who requests them, even if against their better medical judgment. they must address people with different pronouns even though as a health care professional, they know what you're biological sex is. they must even hire employees that disagree with their faith-based mission. these directly threatened their ability to provide faith and -- safe and high-quality medical care to every person comes through their door. alliance defending freedom is representing the christian health care alliance and filed a lawsuit with the district attorney of michigan and the cases currently pending. the final category i want to mission -- mention is the right of people to obtain an education and communicate in schools and classrooms on the same basis as everyone else. this is maggie. she is as sweet as she appears in the pictures. she is a recent graduate of southern illinois university's art therap

but recently michigan courts have reinterpreted michigan civil rights law to include sexual orientation and gender identity. now that means that christian healthcare centers must provide cross-sex hormones to a child who request them. they must -- even if it's against their medical judgment, they mustards people with pronouns that are inconsistent with one's biological sex even though as a healthcare professional you better believe what their biological sex is and even hire employees that disagree with their faith-base mission. those requirements directly threaten to provide safe and high-quality medical care to every person who crosses through the door. so alliance defending freedom is also representing christian health care alliance. we filed a suit against the attorney general ofs michigan ad that case is also currently pending. the final category that i want to mention in brief is the right of people of faith to obtain an education and to communicate in school classrooms on the same basis of everyone else. this is maggie to john, she is as sweet as she appears in the pictures. she's

michigan is so important, the fact is that in the usa the system is very specific, it is not the onethe most who wins, but the one who gets the most electors wins, some states give up all the electors if a person wins , accordingly, what is the peculiarity here, they won thanks to several swing states, which now include michigan and pennsylvania, in pennsylvania in michigan the difference between biden and trump respectively was 2.8%. 2.8%, respectively, there are 50-something, respectively, and a little less, according to data from the corresponding institute, and the usa, in michigan there are 5 citizens of arab-israeli origin who only officially position themselves this way, some support everyone who is of arab-israeli origin , arab, arab-american origin, that is, roughly speaking, well, citizens of arab origin, in pennsylvania, where the difference was 1.1 ,7, well, that is, biden now needs to speak not for israel , the question is different, he is trying in every possible way to break out of this, if these people, these people do not come to vote for this 5%, only in michigan, i

good to see you friday evening what you make of this polling out of michigan?esident trump is up seven-point in michigan, 42 to 35 versus president biden? >> that shows president trump definitely has definitely good ground game in michigan so far. when we look at michigan and a lot of other areas, that's where the presidential battle will be fought. we know president biden one michigan in 2020 but going into 2024, we can certainly expect the margin to narrow. it's going to be a tight race and a lot of these midwestern states. >> that's the story, you nailed it. you got emerson polling, emerson college trump beating biden 45 to 36, trump carried both these states in 2016, biden one in 2020. it's a reversal it looks like for now. >> a reversal for now and both of these men have displayed they have a whole with these voters in this state, blue-collar voters, in 2016 we talked about disaffected from democratic party, joe biden using his pennsylvania roots, very much talking about that and a lot of these states. we will see which man prevails but i think a lot of it

and remember what happened in michigan. everybody in michigan in 2016, during the primary on the democratic side, who won and bernie sanders and jefferson, jeff and i were talking about this yesterday and a fair fight. you know, if the clintons had not been so much in control of the process, bernie sanders would have had a good possibility being our president. you know, he certainly the nominee and the democratic party at that time. and then, of course, trump coming down the escalator and our country never been the same populism has arisen in a way, and populism is also not new. let's be good historians here. let's put this in perspective. we had populism in 92 with pat buchanan and and ross perot. we had populism back in 68 with george wallace. we had populism back in the 1930s with huey long. this is not new. we should not be shocked that this happens. this periodically happens in american history when the average person, the average guy feels he's gotten the shaft. she's gotten the shaft. it's hard to raise her family. i
