look at the videos came out from vanderbilt university talking not about the kids from a care perspectiveere talking about them from a financial perspective. if we can hook a kid and parent early on, there are millions of dollars to our bottom line in lifetime care as we are trying to do something that is extremely expensive and continually needs upkeep care, hormones, the list goes on and on. there are doctors out there wanting to make money off these kids and parents and they are doing it for financial reasons not because it's what best for the child. >> rich: the groups say once you get a kid to 10 or 11 years old and haven't been on this medication the horse is out of the barn in that sense and this is a decision the parents, their children and doctor are making. why should the government be involved? >> yesterday i was at the farm with my son and he said he didn't want to wear shoes around cactuss. i said put your shoes on because you are a child. the idea that 8, 9, 10-year-old should be able to change their gender is absurd. the fact we are supposed to accept that and a parent shou
