Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, we've been exposing so much of the LGBTQ madness and agenda and mafia all week long.
And we know at this point that they've gotten completely out of hand, but it's not really out of hand for them.
This has been the plan and the agenda all along.
To steal the innocence and the souls of young children, medically transition them, turn them gay or lesbian or LGBTQ, and have our children lost, our whole generation lost.
And this is a man who's been exposing them on a level that most of us haven't.
Billboard Chris travels the world as a walking billboard.
CHRIS ELSTON: So my name is Chris Elston.
I'm known as Billboard Chris.
And I'm traveling the country, literally hanging out on street corners and going to busy events, going to wherever the people are, just have conversations about gender ideology, mainly medical harm that is coming to kids when they want to switch their sex.
Because we have children who are being indoctrinated either in school or primarily on social media as well to believe that it is stereotypes that determine their sex or their gender.
So overwhelmingly it is supportive.
At least I would say 9 out of 10 people support what I'm doing.
People know instinctively this is wrong.
We should be letting children grow up because it's not stereotypes that define who they are.
If a child is gender non-conforming, we should just encourage that.
That's fine.
You don't need pharmaceutical drugs, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries to find your true inner self.
But people understand this.
People are supportive.
It's just most of the supportive people are quiet.
I'm just going to keep traveling the country, keep having these conversations because I know eventually we win this battle.
It's just a question of how much damage is done to children before that happens.
Exposing the dangerous LGBTQIA and gender transition ideology, the mafia behind them, and raising awareness to it.
He's a father of two daughters, and he always carries messages with him on his billboard, exposing this and really waking up hearts and minds all over the world.
So, welcome back to the show, Billboard, Chris.
How are you doing?
Thank you so much for having me.
I saw you mention the LGBTQIA there.
I really worry about the...
I really worry about the asexual people.
Those people with low sex drive are really part of a terribly marginalized group and we need to stand up for them.
Yeah.
It's just hilarious.
They include any letter they can.
Well, yeah, now minor attracted persons too.
I mean, it's embracing pedophilia and everything else under the sun.
So yeah, tell us a little bit more about what you do.
Yeah, I travel all around.
I'm sure I look rather ridiculous wearing signs as I do.
My nickname actually came from real billboards that I put up at the start of my campaign.
But I'm now a human walking, talking billboard who has conversations about the greatest child abuse scandal in modern medicine history.
This insane practice of trying to change the sex of our children with puberty blockers, the opposite sex is hormones.
And I've probably been out on the streets and at university campuses for 2,500 hours, having tens of thousands of conversations about this, and it's working spectacularly well.
Yeah, absolutely.
Why do you think that this is such an important issue that people and parents and children need to wake up to?
Why do you think it's one of probably the most dangerous threats to our country, to our world right now, and why it's so important for people to wake up to it?
Well, this is an extraordinarily harmful ideology.
It's all over social media, of course.
So parents need to keep their kids off social media, Tumblr, TikTok, Reddit, all these things.
And it's in schools.
It's being pushed by the far left that children might be born wrong.
That girls should be boys and boys should have been girls.
Why?
Just because they're a little different?
Because they defy what are really sexist, aggressive stereotypes?
This is all completely bonkers, but it's not some fringe thing.
The New York Times reported earlier this year that 300,000 children in the United States have been officially diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which is essentially just self-loathing.
That's all it is.
These are kids who are struggling in life.
Half of these kids are on the autism spectrum.
That's an amazing fact.
Half of these kids that are gender confused or diagnosed with gender dysphoria are on the autism spectrum.
That's an incredible fact that most people should know because that should tell you something.
You know, they're searching for meaning.
Yeah, this doesn't get spoken about enough.
We know from the Tavistock, which was the biggest gender clinic in the world in England, Of a sample of more than 1,000 kids, 35% have moderate to severe autism, never mind the more mild cases.
These are struggling kids.
These are not the high school quarterbacks and the college cheerleaders.
These are kids with terrible home lives.
These are kids in state care.
These are kids who are neurodivergent.
These are kids who have been abused or have had trauma.
Girls who've been sexually abused.
Guess what?
Girls who've been sexually abused aren't loving being a girl right now.
It doesn't take a rocket science to figure this out.
And if you can give them an out...
Where they can say they're a boy and now they're receiving all this love and affection because they're part of this marginalized group called trans and they're getting love bombed like in any cult and they're told that they're going to find true happiness if they go on puberty blockers and opposite sexes hormones.
Well, my gosh, of course some kids are going to jump at this.
This is a social contagion, primarily affecting girls, and it's absolutely exploded, and it's all a lie.
There's no such thing as a child born in the wrong body.
Of course there's not.
We don't have gender identities.
We are a sexed species.
For boys and girls, men and women, whether you like it or not, Life's not fair.
It is what it is.
But leave these kids alone and they'd grow up and out of this phase.
But instead, they're being told that, yes, darling, we're so glad you found your true self.
Let's sterilize you and cut off your body parts.
Yeah, I mean, it is.
It's just sterilizing you and having you unable to create children at an age where you don't even know what the ramifications of that are.
You don't even know if you're not really thinking about having children or being a mother at that young.
And that's why it's so intentional and sinister.
They do it before you hit puberty.
They get to you so that you don't have time to process those things or those dreams that you have in your life.
And then it's too late.
You know, a lot of children, they don't think about being a mother until they're, you know, in their early 20s or maybe late teens at least.
But by that time, they've already cut off their lady parts.
They've cut off their baby parts.
And a man has already transitioned into a woman.
And it's just, it's too late for them.
And there's nothing much that we can do about that.
That's right.
And, you know, four or five years of testosterone use for these girls requires them to get a hysterectomy because testosterone causes vaginal and uterine atrophy.
Sometimes they're cutting out their ovaries as well.
So now they can never produce estrogen for the rest of their life.
They'll get to the ripe old age of 20 or 25.
And my gosh, they've been harmed for life.
Never mind the 100 side effects that come with menopause, early onset dementia, early onset osteoporosis, all the other harms that testosterone usage is doing to these girls.
Because, yes, they have a small amount of testosterone naturally, maybe 5% of what men have.
They're not supposed to have my dose of testosterone running through their bodies.
It's causing all sorts of harm to other organs.
And we're sending teenage girls into menopause!
And the left wants to call this progressive?
What?
Talk to a 20-year-old woman.
Most of them will tell you they don't want to have kids.
Then they get to 30 and they're chomping at the bit to have kids.
It's what they want more than anything else in the world because, shocker, people change as they grow up.
And now we're putting these adult decisions onto 10-year-olds?
Yeah.
None of these boys who start on puberty blockers at what's called Tanner Stage 2, the beginning of puberty, the president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health has admitted none of those boys have been able to have an orgasm as an adult.
They can't even comprehend of what that means.
They have no sexual function now and they're expected to make these decisions at 12?
11?
It's insane.
I was at some protest that I held in Toronto a year and a half ago and all these, it was actually moms near a school, put up these signs on the telephone poles saying, don't police a body that doesn't belong to you.
We trust children to know what's best for them.
What?
Do we give our kids ice cream all night long and let them play video games until 3 in the morning?
Don't let them smoke, drink, get a tattoo, join the army.
They can't have sex, but they can change sex?
The whole thing is totally insane.
Yeah, it really is.
It's unbelievable, but I'm so glad that we have people like you bringing attention to it and exposing it.
So what are some highlights?
What have you been up to lately?
I know there was a video that you had that went viral.
Tell us a little bit about that.
Yeah, I had a couple of viral videos from the weekend.
I was just in England.
I was in London.
I was actually there for this ARC conference that Jordan Peterson is part of.
People from 72 countries, mostly anti-woke people.
It was great to network.
But then I kept a few days at the end to do my conversations on the street.
And of course, London was having this pro-Palestinian protest with 100,000 people.
So I go to wherever people are.
And this young guy from America, actually, maybe he's Canadian, He said, F you, you effing fascist, as I walked by, as Antifa tends to do.
So I stopped and started filming with my phone and had a conversation with him, asking him a few questions, which he of course couldn't answer because they have no data to back up any of their crazy beliefs.
And he was getting quite enraged.
And then three young Muslim women came along to see what all the fuss was about.
And he tried to appeal to them for support.
And he said something like, he thinks that kids can't be trans.
Well, of course, they said they can't.
And then they laid into him and berated him pretty strongly.
And it's this hilarious video.
It shows, you know, where these different worlds are colliding, really exposing intersectionality.
And he ended up running away.
He walked off because they destroyed him.
It was funny.
Yeah, with his tail between their legs.
That's right.
That's what Antifa knows how to do.
Beat you up, you know, fight you, or just run away with their tail between their legs.
That's right.
So I just keep doing what I'm doing, one day at a time, grinding it out, having these conversations.
Held a few protests recently.
Had about 500 people at one in Toronto, which was great because for the longest time it was just me out there.
30,000 people across Canada were protesting this.
Especially immigrant groups are now speaking out about this.
Some are protesting every day.
But I'm teaming up with all sorts of conservative organizations.
And doing university talks.
I'm going to Berkeley next week and probably UC Fresno the day after that.
Great place for Berkeley.
Chloe Cole, she was on my show previously.
She is a prominent D-transitioner now.
And that's boldly speaking out about her experience and journey, which is good.
You'll be partnering.
You're speaking with her at Berkeley, right, on November 14th?
That's right.
I ran into the college Republicans there when I was at Berkeley in January, just hanging out on campus doing my thing, showing up uninvited.
And then I was there again a month or two ago.
And so they invited me to come speak.
So I just invited Chloe to join me.
It's far more powerful with her.
Everyone needs to hear her message.
And what are these leftists going to do?
Are they going to deny her lived experience?
They can't.
But all these trans activists, what they always say is they're helping children to be who they really are.
But guess what?
As soon as these children, like Chloe, she's 18 now, As soon as these children or young adults realize this was a huge mistake, do the trans activists support them?
Do they then say, we're glad you figured out you're actually female?
No.
They attack them.
They call them grifters.
They try to cancel them.
Because they don't want you to be your true self.
They just want you to be trans.
This is a cult.
And we've got to put a stop to it, and we're going.
Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, very curious what your reception will be like at UC Berkeley, of all places.
It'll be interesting.
You'll probably get tomatoes thrown at you, at least.
Maybe fire started, burned down the building.
I better have a dry cleaner lined up for the next day.
Yeah, they threw Molotov cocktails when Milo Yiannopoulos was there a few years ago.
I'm not...
I mean, people say I'm divisive and all that sort of stuff.
You know what?
A lot of the moderate leftists still support what I do.
And I've been able to have fine conversations when I've been at Berkeley when I've shown up uninvited.
So I don't expect things to get that crazy, but you never know.
We're going to promote this a lot.
I'm going to make it so that members of the public are invited as well.
So hopefully we can make this as big as possible.
And hopefully those leftist counter-protesters do come out because they do our jobs for us.
They generate so much media.
And if they get violent, all that does is expose them.
People don't even have to hear my message.
They just see me standing there calmly and they see all these crazy people and you're already winning the argument.
So it's important never to let these people provoke you into a response because that's all they're trying to do.
Are you seeing a turn in the tide at all over the last few years since you've been doing this?
Are you seeing more parents or children receptive to your message and waking up about the dangers of gender ideology and gender transitioning?
I cannot express enough how amazing this turnaround has been.
When I started out, nobody knew what puberty blockers were.
I had this sign saying children cannot consent to puberty blockers and people would come up to me all day long saying, what are those?
Now I get nothing but high fives and fist bumps, people honking their cars and all that sort of stuff.
This is the number one cultural issue of the day.
It's on the conservative airways every day.
Of course, places like CNN and the Washington Post are going to lie about this, but at least they're talking about it because they're starting conversations.
And we have 20 states in the past year who have legislated an end to this child abuse, which is tremendous.
It was always going to be the Republican states first that fixed this, but I've always known from day one that when enough parents learn what's going on, we're going to put a stop to this and it's working.
And I'm also happy to announce that the American Academy of Pediatrics, that corrupt organization which is pushing this nonsense, Has finally buckled the pressure and they've started a systematic review, which will probably take about a year to look into all the evidence.
I don't trust them.
They're dishonest.
But at least they're doing that.
And between now and a year from now and two years from now, we're going to keep making more progress every single day.
And it's simply a matter of time until we put a stop to this.
Yeah, amazing.
Well, yeah, you are making progress.
The American Academy of Pedoatrics, as I call them, they are a fraud system.
You know, a machine just as much as anyone else because they push this indoctrination, too.
They push this agenda.
So I don't know how much movement you'll get with them, but at least they're putting on a show and pretending like they're doing something, which is good.
Well, another great thing, another great thing, which, of course, when you think rationally about this, it was simply a matter of time.
We have a law firm that has formed in Texas.
Four dads all left their previous practices, 17 kids between them.
They felt called to just fight for this.
So they've started this new law firm solely dedicated to suing for these detransitioners, these young people.
And in their latest lawsuit, they're suing the American Academy of Pediatrics because Jason Rafferty is this doctor who wrote the AAP's current policy where they just accept the child at their word.
All they do is affirm.
There's no therapy required, none of this.
He wrote this policy for the AAP when he was still just a resident.
But he was involved in a personal case involving one of these young girls who's now suing.
So because he was involved, this law firm has been able to link in the AAP. So they're suing them.
And this whole thing can come crashing down pretty quick once these lawsuits start flying, and they are flying now.
So I'm extremely optimistic.
Yeah, that's great.
I don't know, something that's been disturbing me lately is there's, you know, the whole, there's Sex and the City, right?
And then Sex and the City did a reboot called In Just Like That, and the reboot is out now.
And they're acting like it's just like sort of a sequel, it's kind of a continuation of the original series, Sex and the City.
Because it has most of the same characters in it.
But it's totally garbage.
It's all LGBTQ, Marxist, left-wing indoctrination in it.
And one of the most conservative members of Sex and the City, her name is Charlotte.
I don't know if you've seen this, but She, on one of the first episodes of the season, her child comes out as transgender and her child was named Rose and she came from like a very privileged white family.
And now she says, I'm no longer Rose, I'm Rock.
Call me Rock.
And then they have this, there's a scene where they meet with her teachers and And the teachers are just telling her, sorry, the parents, sorry, this is what she is now.
We've known this for a long time and we've been affirming her as Rock.
So you just need to do that.
That's all you need to do.
Just suck it up.
Affirm her as her new gender as a boy named Rock.
And then she'll really be confident and grow into her full self.
And it really is disturbing because Sex and the City has such a huge fan following.
And when parents watch this, They're thinking, hmm, you know, I guess that is the route that we should take if my child ever happens to bring up the fact that they might be trans to me.
Just accept them, just affirm them.
Because they have these very influential actors saying that and on this very influential show.
So I don't know if you've heard about that, but it just it really disturbs me because of the level of indoctrination that's They're indoctrinating the kids, and now they're indoctrinating the parents through shows like this that teach them this is how you handle situations like this.
You don't fight back.
You don't put them in therapy.
You just affirm them.
Yeah, I hadn't heard about that example.
I'm not a strong aficionado for sex in the city, to inform you.
Yeah, it's garbage.
This is all over Hollywood.
Yeah.
Hollywood and the media, I mean, they're as responsible for this child abuse as anyone.
It's the media that popularized this.
And I was at this conference in London last week speaking with this man from Kenya.
And he does work in Kenya and in Nigeria.
And I asked if this gender stuff was going on there now.
And it is.
It's spreading there.
And why?
Because they all watch Hollywood movies and TV shows.
And it's everywhere.
And they're opening up a gender clinic in China and there's stuff spreading into Japan.
It's just absolutely everywhere.
So, shame on them, but you know what?
A lie travels around the world while the truth is still putting our pants on.
But we got the truth on our side.
And we're just going to keep spreading that truth.
And it's unstoppable.
The truth spreads for free.
So we are going to put an end to this.
We are going to look back at this in 10 years time and say, what the heck happened to humanity?
Just like we look at lobotomies now and say, how could humans ever do that?
Sticking ice picks through the orbital sockets into the prefrontal cortex of the brain in order to make people better.
Based on what?
You know, the inventor of the lobotomy won the Nobel Prize for medicine.
Wow.
Did not know that.
And we think we're this advanced species now because we have all this technology.
But psychologically, we're the same as when we lived in caves.
And we still do all sorts of terrible things to our fellow humans based on no evidence whatsoever.
And the information age hasn't made us smarter.
I think it's made us less smart.
Absolutely.
I agree.
But we just got to keep fighting.
And we need everyone...
We need everyone within their own abilities and skills and passions to do something about this.
Because if you wait for some savior or the president or whoever to fix this, it's never going to happen.
It's up to us to fix this.
Amen.
Thank you.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, as we continue to go down different rabbit holes of all of this sexual indoctrination and grooming of our youth in our schools and our churches, our next guest is a whistleblower and the president of the Lepanto Institute, which has been researching and exposing so many Catholic and Christian organizations that have actually been funneling funds to support this sexual grooming and indoctrination in schools
and distributing pornographic material to teens and youth.
So I can't believe this.
Again, people think, well, maybe the church or Catholic or private schools They're safe from all this indoctrination, but that's not true at all.
So our next guest is going to blow the whistle on this and tell us what his latest investigation is exposing.
So Michael Hichborn, thanks so much.
You're the president of the Lepanto Institute.
First of all, tell us what is the Lepanto Institute first, and then we'll dive into what you guys have been exposing recently.
Sure.
The Lopando Institute is a research organization dedicated to exposing the enemies of the church, both from without and from within.
One of the big aspects of what we do is we investigate charitable organizations, whether they're Catholic or Christian or secular, and we help people to understand, is this a good organization for people to contribute their funds to?
And we base this on several criteria.
Is it promoting abortion?
Is it promoting contraception or homosexuality or transgenderism?
Is it promoting Marxism?
Or is it promoting heresy?
Like, for instance, the Salvation Army actually denies water baptism.
So we exposed that and said, look, you probably don't want to give to an organization like this because that's just outright heresy.
So we...
We conduct these investigations.
We put together very, very detailed reports that are based only on first-hand information.
We don't use second-hand information.
And what's more is that we put together a list of these organizations and let people know, are they safe or are they not safe to contribute to?
And then we give the criteria.
And if you want to read the report, all you have to do is click on the name of the organization.
That's so cool.
So, because again, people think that certain organizations and charities and schools, they're safe because they market themselves as being a Christian organization or a Catholic organization.
And then you dig a little bit deeper or follow the money trails and figure out that they're corrupt.
They've been bought out.
They're just sort of front companies or fake companies.
But they're really giving to causes that are totally anti-Christian, like abortion or like LGBTQ, transgender rights and issues and things like that.
So we have to be very careful.
And unfortunately, a lot of people, everyday Americans, don't have the time to deep dive and research so much into this.
That's why your organization and your research is so important.
You're doing all the research so we know what companies are really safe or not.
That's exactly right, and that's exactly what we do.
And as a part of that, I've spent the better part of 15 years exposing the kinds of organizations that are being granted through a Catholic agency called the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
Um, this organization was founded in 1969 in Chicago by Cardinal Bernardin.
And the whole idea was that they would take up a collection of Catholics, faithful Catholics who really didn't understand where the money was going.
They were just told, oh, this is to help with housing or it's to help with, uh, wage inequalities or, or certain things like that.
And people say, oh, I want to help the poor.
I want to help people who are, who are suffering.
And they took up this money and they turned around and they gave it to Saul Alinsky's community organizing groups.
That was the specific and express purpose for this granting agency to give to Saul Alinsky and his community organizing groups.
So for the better part of 50 years, which is about how long ago this organization was created, Many different outlets, whether it was The Wanderer or there was a Sparrow News Forum down in Arizona, they've been at the forefront of looking into, investigating, and exposing the socialist activities of the organizations receiving CCHD funds.
And they've consistently said, oh no, there's no problem.
We're not actually funding organizations that are Marxist or pro-abortion.
They got the information wrong.
Well, they were able to kind of hold people off with that idea because at that time, the internet didn't exist.
So the information was only getting out through newsletters, through very small circulation news reports, that kind of thing.
And the...
Bishops or the Bishops Conference was able to smooth it over and say, we've looked into this and they got their information wrong and it's not entirely accurate.
And, you know, they've just been snowing everybody.
Well, with the dawn of the Internet and because I was trained as a researcher by a naval intelligence officer who understands open resource analysis, we've been able to use those skills to Pull out firsthand information and then disseminate it through the internet, which is the most open forum available to us.
And everybody can see firsthand exactly where this money is going and how it's being utilized.
And the CCHD back in 2009, when I first exposed this, went into damage control mode.
Oh, we're going to look into this.
Oh, thank you so much for finding problems.
We're going to look into this.
And of course, they shuffled the decks on the Titanic and told everybody, oh, we fixed the problem.
Everything's okay.
No, everything was not okay.
They didn't change a thing.
They just told everybody that we shuffled things around and now everything's fine.
And that leads to where we are now.
With this report that I put together just earlier this week, Yeah, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development gave $45,000 in 2021-2022.
That was the grant cycle.
Gave $45,000 to an organization called Congregations United to Serve Humanity.
No, it sounds like that.
Yeah, Kush.
And of course, they love to have their biblically sounding names.
And it's like, well, except Kush was the capital of Egypt, which is supposed to be symbolic of hell.
So what are you trying to tell us?
I know.
There's always hidden meetings inside the meeting.
Precisely.
And in October of this year, At the very beginning of October, Cush conducted what they called a banned books drive.
Where they collected banned books.
And these banned books, they said, oh, did you know that Tom Sawyer was a banned book because it was racist?
And then it was unbanned.
And then it was banned again because it was just...
They went back and forth.
And they didn't really talk about, in the interview that they gave, the nature of the LGBTQ books that they were collecting.
Now, you have to understand...
When they were collecting these books, it was specifically to give these books to an LGBTQ youth center where kids as young as middle school are going to be going.
And they conducted this drive with the transgender flag flying in the background and the LGBTQ flag flying around.
And they held up copies of the books that they collected and they were very proud about it.
And the books were genderqueer.
The LGBTQ history book, All Boys Aren't Blue, and This Book is Gay.
So these were the books that they were handing out and distributing?
Yeah, they collected them to give to this youth center.
And they were holding up the books on display, just saying, hey, we collected these books.
We're happy about it.
This is great.
Isn't this wonderful?
These books are pornographic.
I have looked at them.
I wish I didn't, because they are awful.
I mean, they are the worst filth you could possibly imagine.
The first book, Genderqueer, is a comic book.
And this comic book is, you know, little boys love comic books.
They love reading Spider-Man and all kinds of stuff.
They love the format of the comic book.
Lots of pictures, right?
This comic book is pornography.
They show full-on nudity for male-on-male oral sex.
It's really horrifying.
Another book, this book is gay, is a how-to.
It's an instruction manual on how to use the Grindr app, for instance.
So like how to be gay, like teaching children how to be gay, how to experiment with gay.
Yeah, this is the very definition of grooming.
So it teaches them how to use the Grindr app.
It teaches them, it has this male anatomy diagram.
Full nudity with little arrows pointing to different sections of the body, which are erogenous zones, and they're giving instructions on how to please those erogenous zones.
And I'll just let your imagination run wild on that.
Beginning on page 173 are actual instructions on mutual masturbation, oral sex, and anal sex.
Keep in mind, this has got drawings, got pictures.
It's supposed to be cutesy, directed at kids.
But again, this is grooming.
I mean, when you think about how creepy it is, it's just, I mean, imagine a 50-year-old man who invited a child into his van with candy and then showed him a comic book of things that, you know, you should do as a gay, you know, gay on gays or boys with boys or boys with older men and showing all these pictures and cutesy graphics and cartoons.
He would say, ew, that guy's a pedophile.
Gross.
He's trying to groom that child.
But yet, it's the same playbook.
It's the same process.
They're just distributing it in schools and youth groups and centers that seem official and seem professional.
But of course, they're not.
I mean, nowhere is safe from all this grooming.
That's right.
In your analogy of the 50-year-old man, if he had done that, he could have been arrested.
So my question is, why can't these youth centers be arrested?
Why can't the people giving books for the intention of giving them to kids as young as middle school, why aren't they being arrested?
This is a crime.
This is an absolute crime.
The book, All Boys Aren't Blue.
It doesn't have pictures.
It's a young adult novel kind of book.
I don't know if it's supposed to be autobiographical or not.
But the book is written in a novel format.
And it contains very, very graphic scenes of homosexual oral sex and anal sex.
And again, this is all geared towards young adults.
Kids.
Kids that are adolescents.
So it's absolutely horrifying.
Now, the thing about this organization, Kush, I did a lot of digging on this group.
I found that the executive director of CUSH, she became the executive director in March of 2022, but she was their lead organizer in December of 2020.
And she is a huge promoter and supporter of Planned Parenthood.
She's deeply involved with Planned Parenthood.
There's no way that her organization should ever have gotten a dime from the Catholic Church.
As far back as October of 2020, This organization was deeply involved in promoting homosexuality just as an organization.
So the red flags were already there.
And the CCHD, it talks about how they have this thorough application process where they monitor and make sure that these organizations aren't acting against church teaching.
Well, the fact of the matter is, if that's what they're saying, then this is more of an indictment than a defense.
It's so crazy.
I mean, the fact that these groups are positioning themselves as somebody safe to donate to, something safe to join or get behind, and something that reflects Christian values, and then they're literally just no different from any leftist organization, is really sinister.
And it's Blindsiding so many good Catholics and Christians in America who do want to donate to good causes or what they think are Christian causes, but they're just leftist funding organizations.
They're no different than any other leftist organization.
So that's what's really so sick and sinister about it.
Well, and I told some friends recently, The CCHD should know better than to give any funding to an organization like this because the sexual perversion is in the DNA of the hard left.
It has been for over a century.
The hard left has always been about sexual debauchery.
If you know anything about cultural Marxism, Antonio Gramsci wrote very, very explicitly about how if we are going to spread actual Marxism, Marxist ideologies, we have to corrupt the morals of of the individuals starting with women.
So they had to corrupt the morals of women, which is why cultural Marxism started with co-ed dorms in colleges and then having what they called, well, they would just have parties parties.
Are you a partier?
Are you a party girl?
Which simply meant...
And it's interesting that they would use the word party because they're talking about the Communist Party.
But what they were talking about was getting together and having hookup sessions, which were basically orgies.
And, you know, you break down their morals.
Well, once you break down the morals, you get them hooked on the idea of sex, that sex is the only nature of a relationship.
And that gives rise to the need for birth control, for the need for abortion, and then, of course, the need for infanticide when both of those fail.
And that's the direction that we've gone.
On top of that, you have the sexual perversions regarding transgenderism and homosexuality.
So they just keep going further and further and further down that hole.
If anybody was going to understand that giving money to an organization that identifies with the left is going to ultimately translate into stuff like this, it's just common sense at this point.
I agree with you.
Sorry for my cold, but...
And if you know about Marxism, they have to embed themselves in every organization, in every culture, and they cloak themselves under good organizations or seemingly innocent organizations.
Or Nickelodeon and Disney.
I mean, I see so much sexual perversion and...
Sort of different symbolism in Disney commercials, Disney shows, Nickelodeon shows, and kids shows that shouldn't be there, but they sneak them through because that's how they're going to corrupt children.
Otherwise, if they just outright say it, a lot of people won't watch it or join that organization.
Boy Scouts has been totally hijacked and corrupted, right?
I'm sure you researched that a lot.
Girl Scouts have been corrupted.
So...
Every group, they've hijacked and they've managed to corrupt.
And you have to understand what is being distributed and how your children are being indoctrinated when they're going to institutions like that.
Otherwise, you are going to be blindsided.
Right, right, exactly.
So, in exposing stuff like this, of course, when I first started exposing the Campaign for Human Development, my idea was that, gosh, you know, this is an oversight problem.
Somebody dropped the ball.
And I put out my first report expecting the bishops to pat me on the back and congratulate me and thank me for, wow, thank you for exposing this and for helping us to understand where this money is going.
Right.
I got smacked hard by these bishops who were just incensed that I would go after this esteemed institution that has been helping the poor for so long.
And I started going, are you kidding me?
Wait a minute.
I sent a letter to all of the bishops in the United States back in September.
And in that letter, I included four samples of our reports on CCHD grantees.
And I simply explained, Your Excellencies, there's a serious problem here.
I hope that you will consider a third-party investigation.
I don't have to be involved.
I don't have to be the one to do it, because I know that my name is mud among many of the bishops.
Fine.
But get a third party.
Don't rely on them to investigate themselves.
Have somebody else, somebody you trust, who all the bishops can say, yes, this person is of integrity and they have the solid research skills to be able to do this kind of investigation.
Call for that third party investigation and you see if they don't find the same things that I've found.
Well, I sent this letter.
And I got a couple of responses from a few bishops, one actually thanking me, one saying, well, I don't really participate, so it doesn't really apply to me.
And then a third one basically just saying, I'm not going to call for a third-party investigation, and I'm not going to stop supporting CCHD. Unbelievable.
But then, on October 11th, Bishop Timothy Sr., he's the chairman of the USCCB's subcommittee for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
The USCCB is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
It's a lobby firm that supposedly represents all of the bishops of the United States up in Washington, D.C. Anyway, they're the ones who operate the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
The bishop who is the chairman of that, Bishop Timothy Sr., on October 11th, sent a letter to all of his brother bishops, and he said, Can you believe that?
I mean...
Just looking at my report, going through the information, I used first-hand accounts.
So I've got the executive director for Cush saying, we're conducting this drive.
We're collecting these books.
We've got their own photographs saying, these are the books we've collected.
We opened up the pages of the books and we showed censored images of those pages.
This isn't rocket science.
So to say that our reports are unfounded is just a bold-faced lie.
Yeah, and it's sad that these are like bishops that are pushing this.
You know, people think the pope and the bishop and everyone is free from that.
But no, no, no.
These are the people that you need to be the most scared of.
And what are your thoughts, too, also about Catholic schools now in general across the U.S.? Do you think a mother sending her child to Catholic school because they think they're safe from this indoctrination is wrongheaded?
Do you think that Catholic schools are also putting out the same kind of grooming and sexual indoctrination material?
It really depends on the diocese that you're in.
I think that what has to happen is parents have to be hyper-vigilant at this point.
And it's across the board, whether it's a Catholic school or a Protestant school or a private school, just a secular private school, or even public, well, especially public school.
Especially public.
You know, we have to be hypervigilant.
I mean, I'm a parent of eight kids, and we homeschool all of our kids.
Amazing.
Because, yeah, well, we saw this problem decades ago, and we made the decision at the very beginning, hey, we're going to homeschool the kids because I fully understand exactly what's going on in the education system.
I don't want my kids exposed to this kind of stuff.
Yes, who would?
Right.
So we have to be hypervigilant.
We have to make sure that...
We know who the teachers are.
For instance, if you are in a diocese and you want to send your kids to a local private school, get a list of all of the faculty and then just look through their Facebook pages, look through their Twitter accounts.
Find out exactly what their ideologies are, and that will tell you whether this is a school you can trust or not.
Find out if the school has an LGBTQ student club, or if they are hosting Black Lives Matter rallies, or if they're talking about immigration reform.
I mean, some of those things seemingly are innocuous, but These are ideologies that are definitely more entrenched in the left and if they are aligned with the left you have to be sensitive to that and you have to be aware that once they get You know, involved in, say, immigration or prison reform, that kind of stuff.
If they say anything about racism and cultural racism, that kind of thing, these are all buzzwords of the left.
You've got to go in and say, okay, at what point are they going to cross the line into a moral issue?
Because it's going to happen.
And they're talking about issues that tend to be more on the socialist track.
So what are their ideologies regarding just politics in general?
Who are their social studies teachers?
And what do their social studies teachers think about capitalism versus socialism?
What are they thinking about these things?
So you have to be vigilant.
You have to dive into their social media feeds.
You've got to get a profile.
Where did they come from?
Where did they go to school?
And it stinks that we have to do that.
Educating your children and preventing them from being indoctrinated in these horrible, horrific ideologies is your number one duty as a parent.
Number one.
Amen.
Not many parents realize that, and it's so important.
I mean, do you want control over your child and their values, or do you want to just leave it up to the state and all these random purple-haired Marxist weirdos at school that are teaching them?
I mean, I want to have that influence.
I don't want them to just be, hey, you know, it's kind of playing Russian roulette.
Who's going to be teaching my child what?
Yeah, that's exactly it.
We've got to be very vigilant.
We have to be watchful.
And again, it's a full-time job to pay attention to all that.
It's actually easier to homeschool.
Yeah, I can't wait to hear about that.
Well, Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute, you've been really informative today.
