Transgenderism and Puberty Blockers 0:05 Welcome to the Washington Watch Newsdesk. I'm Sarah Holliday and here is the latest news. The UK hit the brakes on advancement of transgenderism. On Wednesday, they said no more experimental0:17 drugs in the name of so called gender affirming care for minors. UK health secretary, Wes Streeting, explained why.0:24 There is not enough evidence about the long term effects of using puberty blockers blockers to treat gender incongruence to know whether they are safe or beneficial. I am acting on the commission's advice0:36 to put an indefinite order in place to restrict the sale or supply of puberty blockers through a prescription issued by either a private UK prescriber or a prescriber registered outside0:48 the UK for under eighteens.0:50 British lawmakers now acknowledge how little there is to know about puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Much of what is known indicates they're harmful. So the UK is changing course but the US is1:02 still pedaling down this path. In America, Doctor. Johanna Olsen Kennedy is a huge figure in this industry. After 10 years of researching puberty blockers, you'd think she'd have a vast1:14 library of findings. Olsen Kennedy also received about 10000000 dollars from the National Institutes of Health. That's taxpayer money by the way. Well, her study has produced results but she1:26 refuses to share them. Republican senators are not letting her off the hook. They want the study published and so they sent their second letter to the NIH on Thursday with this message. To be clear1:38 we oppose taxpayer funding going toward gender transition interventions for minors but taxpayers have the right to know the outcomes of the research they fund particularly when the intervention studied has1:50 life altering impacts. No response yet but who knows? Maybe Britain's recent changes will inspire change here too. Even if the puberty blocker research isn't going anywhere,FBI Director Resignation and Political Reactions 2:02 FBI director Christopher Wray is. He announced his resignation this week as the head of the nation's police force.2:10 After weeks of careful thought, I've decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down. And2:22 in my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so2:34 important in how we do our work. Now it should go without saying, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it anyways. This is not easy for me.2:46 Maybe it wasn't easy for Wray, but president-elect Donald Trump is elated. His response was that the resignation of Christopher Ray is a great day for America. Trump appointed Ray2:57 during his first administration. Over time, the relationship turned sour. Experts suggest certain events may factor in such as the 20 20 election, the Mar a Lago raid, and the investigation of the3:09 assassination attempt on Trump in July. Trump was not happy with how Wray handled those cases. The director plans to stick out the remainder of the Biden administration, but they may have been all the time he had anyway3:20 as Trump said he planned to fire him. 1 last order of business involves Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The investigationControversial Assassination and Public Reaction 3:32 is still hot, but Americans have not been silent. Some have even celebrated the assassination.3:37 I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I think that's why I felt along with so many other Americans joy, unfortunately, you know, because it feels like3:47 Serious?3:47 I mean3:48 Joy and execution.3:50 Not maybe not joy, but certainly not no certainly not empathy. I take that back. Joyful is the wrong word, Pierce.3:56 You think?3:57 I said as I cry, fine. Yeah.3:59 You think joyful is the wrong word?4:01 Yeah. Sure. I'd say it is.4:02 Vindicated celebratory because, again, it feels like justice.4:08 Some feel vindicated that a husband and father of 2 was murdered, But many Americans don't feel this way. Here's what Clay Travis from OutKick said about it.4:17 This was a cold blooded murder that we were all able to watch. Mhmm. You can be upset with a larger societal issue. It does not justify murdering4:29 people because of it.4:32 2 very different perspectives at play. And those are today's headlines. I'm Sarah Holliday. Up next is Washington Watch with host Tony Perkins. We'll see you tomorrow with more news.Show more In this video 0:05 Transgenderism and Puberty Blockers1:59 FBI Director Resignation and Political Reactions3:23 Controversial Assassination and Public Reaction4:50 Mystery Drones and Government Incompetence31:52 Biden's Clemency and Immigration Pardon SpeculationComments No comments yet.
