Chloe Cole and Rep. Bob Onder warn of irreversible gender-related medical procedures on minors, citing her own 2015–2016 transition—puberty blockers at 13, surgery at 15—and a January 2025 malpractice ruling against a surgeon. They push the Chloe Cole Act, framing it as accountability for doctors exploiting vulnerable kids under "transgender ideology." Hannity mocks Democrats boycotting the State of the Union while praising economic and border policies, then pivots to anti-Semitism, defending Israel post-October 7, 2023, and promoting IFCJ’s aid efforts. Callers criticize high state taxes, like New York’s 10% inheritance tax, before Hannity shares a dental injury story—undermining the episode’s urgency with trivial tangents.

Why Democrats Refuse the State of the Union00:05:04
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, broadcasting live right after the State of the Union tonight.
Yes, from our nation's capital, The Swamp.
One of the big issues that I'm sure the president will touch on today.
I know that Representative and Dr. Bob Ander of Missouri and Chloe Cole, they're going to join us in a minute to discuss the state of the union, their effort to raise awareness to stop the horrific practice being done to trans kids.
What adults choose to do is up to adults.
What children, you know, they can't make adult decisions that are life-altering and things that you can't reverse.
And that's been happening.
And we talked recently about NYU, their decision in New York that they will no longer be transitioning children and gender-affirming care and surgeries that are lifelasting.
But it is a big issue.
Let me play Chloe Cole, who will be joining us in a minute, and something that she said.
And here's the truth that I want to start with.
Because this is what ties all this together.
When biological reality is forsaken, it not only allows harm towards vulnerable children, but collateral damage to the rights of a whole sex, to privacy, safety, and a level playing field in sports as well.
That is why every single one of us are here.
I was never an athlete.
I never played any sports.
But I was once a part of the transgender community.
I became an apostate.
And because of that, I have seen the lies and the manipulation firsthand.
I'm immune to the propaganda.
But I have witnessed how this ideology in this community operates from the inside.
I know what demands it makes of people.
My 12-year-old self was misguided into thinking that I was born in the wrong body.
And the doctors who my family once entrusted with my life, rather than challenging me, rather than helping me, they affirmed my childish misgivings about who I was.
And that led me to a lifelong bodily harm before I was even old enough to drive a car.
You know, she talks about being an apostate with the transgender community and protecting women's sports at a rally that she was at.
Chuck Schumer defending Democrats refusing to attend the State of the Union tonight.
What?
Because they don't want to hear that the president has been successful on foreign policy, turning the economy around, securing our borders, doesn't want to hear that we should have law and order and safety and security.
He doesn't like the president won't support, defund the police, doesn't like the SAVE Act where you need voter ID, doesn't like the fact that Republicans believe in funding the Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard and the Secret Service and FEMA and everything else involved in it.
But anyway, here's Chuck Schumer.
The president's speaking at the State of the Union on Tuesday.
A number of Democrats have already said they're not going to attend.
What is your position on this?
As of now, because I respect the whole institution, but I don't respect Donald Trump one bit.
I will go.
But the bottom line is there are a lot of my colleagues who aren't going to go.
I think that's fine with me.
Everyone should make his own choice.
As a Democratic leader, I am going to go as of now, but who knows what will happen in the next few days.
And then, of course, the petulant children, they're telegraphing their petulance.
Sakeem Jeffries encouraging Democrats to sit silent in defiance of the state of the union.
Why don't we just have everyone take their speech and rip it up simultaneously in a temper tantrum like Nancy Pelosi?
Listen.
As for tomorrow night, you've given Democratic members the option to skip the event if they want to.
For those who choose to attend, how would you like to see them behave?
Well, listen, it's my expectation that members who choose to attend will be there in silent defiance.
Of course, skeptical of the remarks that the president is going to try to deliver in terms of his spin.
And then, of course, Democrats are saying they won't attend the State of the Union.
You know, people like the congenital liar Adam Schiff and others.
And here's what they're saying.
Donald Trump is violating the law and Constitution.
He is ignoring court orders.
He has weaponized the Justice Department to go after his enemies.
He is letting loose ICE troops in our streets that are getting people killed.
I will not be attending the State of the Union.
I've never missed one.
I have always gone both to inaugurations and to States of the Union, but we cannot treat this as normal.
This is not business as usual.
I will not give him the audience he craves for the lies that he tells.
I will not be attending the State of the Union.
Not Business As Usual00:10:05
And an overwhelming majority of my constituents are backing me up on this one.
I just want to tell you to hear from me that I am not going to State of the Union.
But there's more productive things I can do with my time than just sitting there for two hours and clapping on cue.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
The nation will watch.
The nation will get to judge.
We have a midterm election, I believe the most important in our lifetime coming up in November.
And this will determine whether progress continues or whether or not it's going to be endless investigation, impeachment of the Democrats.
Anyway, Congressman, also medical doctor, Bob Anders with us, along with Chloe Cole, who we just played a moment ago.
And they're teaming up with, you know, together to push federal legislation that would block gender-related medical procedures for minors.
Welcome both of you to the program.
We appreciate you being here.
Thank you for having us.
Thanks for having us.
All right.
Chloe, let's talk about you.
And more specifically, you know, you talk about being an apostate of the transgender community.
What exactly does that mean?
And you want to protect women's sports, which I fully support and endorse.
Tell us how you got involved in this and why this is important.
Before, I never really considered myself to be a very political person, but what pulled me into all this was the fact that I was put through a medical gender transition between the ages of 12 to 16, including drugs and surgery at 15.
I came back out of it when I realized I wanted to have children, that I regretted it.
And I started speaking out knowing that there were so many other children out there who were being irreversibly harmed by these procedures.
Well, that makes a lot of sense.
And can you explain maybe in personal detail, but only to a level you're comfortable with, why you felt this way in your teenage years?
Teenage years for every kid can be confusing.
I understand that part.
And everyone's trying to discover themselves.
I understand that part.
Explain what you went through.
There were some difficulties that I was going through when I was going through my young adolescent years.
I had a hard time socializing.
I had a hard time making friends.
But all things considered, I was a very normal little girl in that I was a tomboy and I was going through the normal formative phase that most women go through when they're insecure about their bodies.
And yet my doctors took these normal things about me growing up and turned it into something that it wasn't.
And they claimed that I was not actually a little girl, but a transgender young boy.
And the only way that I could be happy with myself was by going through these procedures.
And that is what they told my mom and dad.
I would not be happier, potentially even alive, if we didn't go through with intervention as early as possible.
How old were you when this started?
I was 12 years old when I started going to therapy, and I was 13 years old, and I hadn't even graduated middle school yet by the time that they put me on the drugs, including puberty blockers and testosterone.
I honestly am in a state of shock.
I know your story, but hearing it from you, you know, makes it that much, it just brings it to life in a lot of ways.
Congressman, I've got to give you a lot of credit.
I know you've teamed up with Chloe Cole to push this federal legislation that would block gender-related medical procedures for minors.
And you're saying as a medical doctor, not only a congressman, that children are being rushed into receiving treatments with life-altering results.
I mean, you get to the point in no return where this is a life-altering, you know, decision that you cannot reverse.
And that's the really scary part.
I mean, if you're not 21 years of age, you can't buy a six-pack of beer.
You can't buy a bottle of wine.
You can't buy a pack of cigarettes if you want to smoke.
I can't even buy a jewel pod, which I occasionally like more than I would admit publicly.
You can't even buy that without an ID and being 21.
Yeah, that's right, Sean.
Children like Chloe, when they are too young to drive or to buy a beer or a cigarette, they are being told that all of their problems would go away, whether it's normal adolescent adjustment or depression or anxiety.
They're told that all their problems will go away and they'll be glamorous and happy like all the people they see on social media on TikTok, if only they transition to a different gender.
So what the Chloe Cole Act is, is about protecting children by assuring that they can hold those who abuse them, who take advantage of them with puberty blockers, with wrong sex hormones, with surgeries, hold them accountable in court for the damage they've done.
You know, and we know this works because we know back on January 30th when there was a big malpractice verdict against a transgender surgeon, we know that just days later, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reversed their position and came out against transgender surgeries for minors.
And then a few days later, the AMA American Medical Association came out with the same position.
So, yes, kids are being subject to just unthinkable abuse in the name of this sick transgender ideology.
It's time that we stop it.
So the Chloe Cole Act arises from the President's January 2025 order entitled Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.
That really is an accurate description, isn't it?
It really is, Sean.
This is medically sanctioned child abuse.
And I really am deeply honored with two things.
Number one is that the Trump Justice Department chose me, a freshman, freshman with a pretty good background as a medical doctor, to carry this very important piece of legislation.
But even more so, that Chloe honored me by allowing me to use her name on this legislation.
So I am really looking forward to once and for all end this sorry chapter in the history of American medicine and once and for all put an end to so-called gender transition of our kids.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with Congressman Medical Doctor Bob Onder and also Chloe Cole, who's joining us.
Chloe has detransitioned and is now speaking out about, you know, from firsthand experience about what happened as a young person making this life-altering decision and her reversing all of this.
And this act now is introduced as federal legislation to block gender-related medical procedures for minors.
We'll see if the president addresses it at the State of the Union tonight.
Don't forget our coverage right after the president speaks.
11 o'clock on Fox News, Satan DVR.
Quick break, right back.
We'll continue on the other side.
All right, we continue with Congressman and medical doctor Bob Onder of Missouri and Chloe Cole, Chloe Cole joining with Dr. Onder to block gender-related medical procedures for minors.
And we'll see if the president mentions this tonight.
Chloe, let's talk about a little bit of what you were going through in those early teenage years and even pre-teenage years.
Okay, you talked about, you know, a lot of kids go through anxiety and depression and social awkwardness.
I mean, those are common things kids go through, correct?
How did you end up in the office of some doctor that is telling you this is the only thing that's going to make you happy and maybe the only thing that's going to keep you alive?
Well, as Bob mentioned, for a lot of these gender-confused young children, there is an element of social media influence.
And that's actually exactly where I learned about the idea of transgenderism and that sex and gender are two separate things and that you can be, you can change it by medical intervention and that I would be happier in doing so.
And even though I was told by both this community that claimed to support me and then abandoned me once I stopped and my own doctors that I would be happier by doing so, every single issue that I had, my mental health issues, my emotional issues were exacerbated by the treatments that I was on by living this lifestyle, and it became sicker and sicker and sicker.
Unlike other children, I wasn't given the opportunity to just grow up and beloved the way that God usually created me.
Let's talk a little bit when you went on these treatments, because this act is really going to prevent young children from making life-altering decisions.
When you went on this treatment, what did it do to you?
All three of the treatments have left permanent physical harm on my body.
I have joint issues from the puberty blockers and the testosterone, the testosterone has had.
It has left me with pelvic pains, and I'm unsure whether I'm going to be able to have children now that I'm an adult woman, which is so devastating because it wasn't until I got a little bit older after having these procedures that I realized one day I wanted to have kids, and that would be a big part of my aspirations as an adult.
And without breasts, I'm never going to be able to breastfeed any of my children, whatever I may be able to have.
And that is incredibly heartbreaking to me.
And that is why I'm so grateful for the Chloe Cole Act and for everything that Representative Ander has done for this community of children who have been hurt, who are confused, and for their protection for the future.
Because in order to completely stop this abusive industry, we need to introduce federal legislation that's going to stop it for once and for all.
Grateful For Protection00:10:39
Well, I admire your courage.
I'm sorry you went through those difficult years.
Our prayers are with you and that your dream of having children does come true one day.
And Congressman, Dr. Medical Dr. Bob Ander, I want to thank you for what you're doing, and we support your act.
And if there's anything we can do on this program to help both of you, please know we're in your corner.
Thank you so much.
John, I really appreciate it.
All right.
Appreciate both of you.
800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Linda, did you see that idiot, you know, actor has been Robert De Niro, you know, lecturing about division under Trump, and he's been one of the most vile people in the world.
He's gross.
He really is.
It's such, you know what sucks?
So many great movies with him in it.
So many.
And now it's like, I can't watch any of them.
I get so angry when I see his face.
Well, I mean, he's just first of all, he's been one of the angriest, most of I'm going to pick him out in the back and I'm going to punch him in the face.
He's one of these guys that calls for violence.
Then he cries like a little baby, you know, when he's on, who is he on with?
Nicole Wallace.
He does some podcast.
I don't know what she does.
But let's play what he, what does this little cry baby like crying and everything.
You're always about lifting up everybody around you.
Everybody.
Of course.
Why is that?
You have to.
You have to lift people up.
Why?
You have to bring them together.
Period.
You can't divide people.
You can't win that way.
It's a no-win situation.
And look what we have.
Look who we have there.
It's almost like a destiny to have this thing there destroying, attempting to destroy this country.
And maybe not even understanding why.
So it's up to us to protect the country.
That we love.
Yes.
You weren't supposed to make me cry.
I'm about to cry, Linda.
It's so pathetic.
I'm like, the people that storm the beaches of Normandy would be embarrassed by this moment.
This is what's become of them.
My God.
All right.
Let's go back in time, shall we?
You know, let's just take a little trip down memory lane as it relates to this idiot.
This city is pretty accommodating.
We make room for clowns.
We have them all over the city.
People who do crazy things in the street, we tolerate it.
It's part of the city.
It's part of the culture.
But not a person like Trump.
Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth.
I don't mean to scare you.
No, no, wait.
Maybe I do mean to scare you.
If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted.
And elections, forget about it.
That's over.
That's done.
But Gaddafi.
If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave.
This guy should not be president, period.
And when you say that, folks on Fox come after you.
I remember the Tony's when he got up there and cursed.
A lot of cases of you.
Okay, well, you know, this is K-Barry.
So it's not an FCC violation, but it is still a Sunday morning.
Well, I do wonder why you choose to go that way.
Please say something.
Why do you know that?
We are at a moment in our lives in this country where this guy is like a gangster.
He's come along and he's said things, done things we say over and over again.
This is terrible.
We're in a terrible situation.
We're in a terrible situation.
And this guy just keeps going on and on and on without being stopped.
I mean, he's so blatantly stupid.
He's a punk.
He's a dog.
He's a pig.
He's a con, a bullshit artist, a mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about, doesn't do his homework, doesn't care, thinks he's gaming society, doesn't pay his taxes.
He's an idiot.
Colin Powell said it best.
He's a national disaster.
He's an embarrassment to this country.
It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point, that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has.
He talks how he wants to punch people in the face.
Well, I'd like to punch him in the face.
Why don't you punch me in the face, tough guy?
What do you think, Linda?
I'll let him have one free shot.
He gets I get a free shot.
What do you think?
I think you do it and you raise money for Tunnel to Towers or some other great organization that we care about.
And I'll take on the raging bull.
What do I care?
Absolutely.
However, I get to, he gets to take the shot, but I get to try to block it.
And I'll keep my hands down.
He was booed in the streets when he was, you know, walking.
I'm booed by the people.
He is no longer, nor has he really ever been a man of the people.
Like I always say about actors, you're reading lines that somebody else wrote.
Your interpretation of them and how you carry them out on screen is great.
Keep your political opinions to yourself.
Nobody cares.
I'm not watching you because I care that you're a Democrat or a Republican.
But cut the Adam shift.
Just cut it.
I'm so sick of it.
You know what?
That's the one thing I'm glad about the video podcast we're doing.
I can actually say the real word.
Cut the Adam shift out.
Cut the bull shift out.
I'm so tired of it.
It's completely different.
I thought you said that cursing means you're an angry person.
I thought you said that was a little bit of a question.
No, I mean, the way you curse versus the way I curse is like night and day.
There's no comparison.
Do you want to tell everybody what you said to me before we went on the air today?
You want to tell everybody what you said you'd want to do to me to get me all pissed off today?
Absolutely.
Jason, you got to be a bitch.
I want to see how you couch these terms.
I said that I would kick you in the family jewels.
That's what I said.
Really?
And that's exactly how you said it.
Well, no, do you want me to really say it and we'll hit the bleep button?
We're just making sure.
He doesn't.
I want to make sure I have the approval.
Well, you don't have the approval because we don't need this FCC violation.
And it's money out of our pocket.
We don't want that.
That's why I have Jason on standby, you know, with the dump.
Of course.
Listen, where are we taking?
Okay, let me tell you something.
That is the G-rated version of what she really said to me.
And I said, oh, you're in a great mood today.
Thank you.
No wonder why you couldn't give up, you know, cursing for Lent and you had to give up chocolate as if that's a big deal.
I'm supposed to be a little bit more.
My point is.
You should.
You should.
I mean, you know, the next time I see you, I'm going to eat tons of dark chocolate.
I don't even like dark chocolate.
I prefer milk.
Just for that.
You off of your keto.
I'm going to be on Lent for the year.
That's funny.
All right.
Quick break.
Right back to our busy phones.
Toll-free.
It is 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Israel, hot topic right now.
So many, you know, opinions, emotions.
You know, obviously, we are very likely on the verge of military action against Iran once again, as they are saber-rattling.
Once again, the number one state sponsor of terror.
And it's really sad that we live in a time of rising anti-Semitism.
You see it in the halls of Congress, college campuses.
You hear it on the airwaves and the anti-Semites seem to be everywhere.
It's growing worldwide.
It makes me sick to my stomach.
And at a time when the Jewish people are experiencing more hostility, more threats, more violence than ever, I will say this.
There's great groups like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and Christians standing strong with Israel, you know, because we believe in the Judeo-Christian ethic, you know, the Old and New Testament, and those principles founded this country, and there's no disputing it.
Anyway, supporting Israel is more than, you know, a belief, and it's about pushing back against darkness and hatred in this world, and those people that would annihilate, you know, Israel from the river to the sea as they chant on college campuses.
Anyway, please help the IFCJ.
They're on the ground.
They're offering all the humanitarian assistance they can for so many people still suffering after what happened October 7, 2023.
They have a website.
It's ifcj.org, IFCJ.org, as we help people as they are in a battle for their very survival and on the precipice of yet another conflict.
IFCJ.org today.
Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, back to our busy phones.
It's toll-free, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Cogo Radio, Chuck in San Diego, home of the Del Caronado Hotel.
That's one of the best in the world, except one person has a different view that I know.
It is not the best.
What's going on there, Chuck?
Oh, just another beautiful day in paradise.
It is paradise, and so is Florida, except you're paying a lot more in taxes than I am, and you have more crime than I do, more homelessness than I do.
And your police force is not as effective as mine is.
Cogo Radio Secrets00:05:19
And I don't know.
I'm telling you, I haven't been to both places.
I'm much happier where I am.
Well, Sean, you're preaching to the choir.
I've been here for 74 years, born and raised, and I've seen it change dramatically and not for the best.
But as far as I can get away from Sacramento down here in San Diego, but yeah, next couple of years is going to probably get me packing up and moving on.
What is the state inheritance tax?
If you pass away one day, and I hope you live a long life, what is the inheritance tax in your state?
It's zero in my state.
In New York, it's 10%.
Like, for example, it's 40% nationally.
What is it in New York state?
It's 10%.
What is it in the state of California?
I don't know.
I should know that.
Yeah, I should probably too, but no, I don't have that in my mind.
I know that, in my mind, any of it's too much.
I mean, that's why the family thing has always been so important, you know, and the ones who have good families and they benefit from what they get handed down.
So government get there, they're desperate here to get taxes, revenue from anywhere they can.
We had that big fiasco with the parking meters here.
I mean, they're doing.
No, it's unbelievable.
By the way, you also called about one other thing.
I think this is going to be a funny comment.
What is it about the State of the Union?
Yes, sir.
I just had a thought.
I saw where our great hockey team has been invited to the White House for the State of the Union.
And I thought the most patriotic thing I've ever seen the Democrats do was 24 of them, I think, now are giving up their seats so that the hockey players will have a place to sit.
Yeah.
Okay, so I thought that was one of the best games I've ever seen in my life.
I was on the edge of my seat.
I got up super early on Sunday morning, ate my breakfast, and I am glued to the television.
I didn't leave the position I was in the entire game.
And when Jack Hughes scored that goal, it was like omnipotent ecstasy in my house by myself as I was texting my son and my business partner.
And we just were so happy that the USA won.
And then watching Jack Hughes give his comments.
All right, here's a little secret.
I'm a Florida Panthers fan.
They've won two Stanley Cups in a row.
They've been struggling this year because of really bad injuries.
They've had injuries to Matthew Kachuk and their captain, Barkov, and Marshand and one of their defensemen, Jones.
And they've had a tough year with injuries.
However, they're going to come back after this Olympic break stronger than ever.
I am going to meet Matthew Kachuk tonight.
And you have no idea how excited I am to meet Matthew Kachuk.
I'm a huge fan.
He's like the chirper.
And I had an opportunity to talk to him on the phone.
He's going to be on the post-State of the Union show tonight because the Olympic hockey team is going to be in the gallery.
They're going to be in the House chambers tonight for the State of the Union.
And then, you know, I'll have a few minutes with Matthew Kachuck after and get time to talk to him.
That's like a dream come true.
I wanted to be Bobby Clark when I was growing up.
Well, you know, I'm not a huge hockey fan, being from San Diego and stuff like that.
And I grew up with the great Gretsky.
And, you know.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm friends with Wayne Gretzky.
I love him.
Absolutely love him.
He's the nicest guy in the world.
These guys are some of the, that's what I hear.
You know, they're some of the nicest people you'd ever want to know and some of the toughest men on the planet.
And I think the guy's smile with his broken teeth and the blood in his mouth was the picture of the game.
Let me tell you.
So the guy, Jack Hughes, that got the winning goal, you know, got hit with a high stick.
And every hockey player, all my friends lost their teeth.
For some reason, I didn't lose my teeth until I fell off a roof when I was in my 20s.
All my friends lost their teeth playing hockey, lost some teeth playing hockey.
So he loses his teeth.
They're all busted up.
He returned to the game less than three minutes later for the high sticking penalty.
And less than two minutes into the extra period, he took a perfect pass, beat the Canadian goaltender.
And that was the first time since 1980 we won gold.
It was awesome.
It was awesome.
And for people that don't love hockey, you don't know what you're missing.
It's one of the most exciting games to ever watch.
And these guys do it because they love it.
They don't get paid like they do in the NBA or Major League Baseball or football.
They don't get paid anywhere near that amount of money.
It's crazy, but they do it out of love and they're great.
And this guy praising America afterwards was inspiring.
