DEBATE: Biden's Gender Policies RIPPED TO SHREDS in SECONDS

Mr secretary when you were the Attorney General in California your state expanded its ban on 18 to 20 year olds owning handguns including rifles and shotguns as well and I'm just curious what do you think why do you think that 18 to 20 year olds can't be trusted with a firearm Garson let me uh try to take you back a little bit when I was attorney

general California first by saying for us here at HHS gun violence is a health care crisis in this country and we have to do everything we can I'm proud that my state has tried to undertake measures that would try to keep individuals from using especially assault weapons for purposes that never should be deployed in a civilian society and so but you supported these policy changes I'm

just curious what was it about 18 to 20 year olds that you focused on to take away their gun rights to own rifles or hunting hunting uh shotguns and other Firearms what was it about that age 18 to 20 year old we could go back to the legislative record I was not the legislator a voter a legislator who voted for that legislation but I was the

AG who defended oh you didn't believe you didn't believe that an 18 year old should be allowed to own a hunting rifle is that I mean that that's what you supported then you still believe that today my job as the Attorney General was to defend the laws that the state of California has so you do think that an 18 year old should be allowed to hone

a hunting rifle yeah Carson when you were the Attorney General you have the an obligation to support and defend the laws of your state I happen to believe in many of those laws that help us not only protect Americans from gun violence but also keep weapons of Destruction out of the hands of Americans when it's not necessary okay an interesting way to dodge the question I

mean back then you clearly defended and supported uh changes in the law to stop 18 to 20 year olds from being able to own a firearm I I just want to ask this question what why do you think that children much much younger than 18 years years old 9 10 11 year olds are mature enough to make a decision to have a sex reassignment surgery because

you support those policies too so can you defend that for the committee why do you believe that a 9 10 or 11 year old should be allowed to change their sex so let me let me be clear up my my position My Views have not changed with regard to uh gun violence and what we should do to try to control that uh Mass killing that's occurring

uh and so whatever My Views were when I was Attorney General on those issues I are are still probably the views that I have now uh again I'm not the Attorney General of California anymore with regard to the health care of it let me just be really clear then you believe that an 18 year old shouldn't be allowed allowed to own a hunting rifle today you

believe that a 9 10 or 11 year old should be able to change their sex and have an irreversible surgery to do that just help us explain the the logic yeah Congressman I would appreciate you if you let me characterize what I believe and we can have a good conversation but other than you you characterize what I believe and what I would say to you is

social transition changing one's name pronoun and or appearance is appropriate and beneficial for gender minority Children and adolescents according to this report the report recommends cutting federal funds from states with quote policies that stigmatize transgender children including by denying them access to medically necessary Health Care end quote Mr secretary does this mean that HHS is seriously threatening to withhold Hospital grants from States like my own

if they refuse to go along with surgeries or or puberty blockers for kids Congress we're going to protect the rights of any American to get the health care they're entitled to and if someone tries to stop them from that that's a violation of the law so you would withhold Hospital grants from States like mine that ban transgender sex reassignment surgeries for minors I mean that's what

the report says we will protect the rights of any individual to receive the health care they're entitled to and we will take action against anyone who tries to discriminate so that's a that's a yes I want to ask you the same question that I asked secretary Cardona the other week do you support polling federal funds federal school lunch benefits from schools that refuse to comply with

your definition of gender identity withholding school lunches from kid from kids in schools that won't recognize the definitions that you do Congress and I would not hold anyone to the standard of having to uphold my definitions I would hold them to a standard that protects what the rights of it's pretty clear what you believe the the report says so Madam chair I hope and pray one

day that the history books look back and realize just how crazy the policies of this Administration are and Mr secretary your photo with the president is going to be in those history books as the as history does not will not look back fondly on your policies I yield back
