Deprogrammed with Keri Smith

The WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) Files were just released by Michael Shellenberger and Mia Hughes and the contents give evidence to what many people have been saying for years: so-called "gender affirming care" is causing irreparable and permanent harm on children, and the doctors involved are fully aware and DO NOT CARE. Join us for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak on #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith on Friday, March 8th at 1pm CST. We're going to walk through a summary of the WPATH Files and try to distill the contents into 4 key takeaways for you to be familiar with in conversations about so-called "gender-affirming care."

Join us for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak on #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith, Monday, February 4th at 1pm CST. We're watching part of 60 Minutes and Scott Pelley's Hatchet Job on Moms 4 Liberty and contrasting it with the footage and transcript of the material they cut. Why - on an alleged "news" program about Moms "banning" books (they aren't banning books; you can get any of the disgusting books in question at any public library or book store) would they CUT OUT the very books in question? Why do they have such contempt for their audience and such a low estimation of their viewers' IQ? Why censor out the very POINT of the discussion? If the books in question are too sexually explicit for Public Television, then why are they deemed appropriate for Children's school libraries?

Join us for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak on #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith, Friday, February 16th at 1pm CST. We are looking at the ghoulish way AI is now being used to put words in the mouths of dead people, literally in their voices, for political purposes. March for Our Lives is recreating the voices of dead people, and using them, along with their names, in robo-calls to senators, in political campaigns and more. We're going to talk about ETHICS and the difference between IDEOLOGY and PRINCIPLES.

I thank God I'm not famous, and you should too. It occurs to me that the three most corrupting forces I see again and again in humans - whether today or throughout history - are fame, money and power. Mostly because the first two can lead to the third, and power can easily corrupt. Very few people seem to be able to manage it without it destroying them in some way. And yet - so much of our culture holds these three things up as perfectly natural aspirational goals, especially for young people. Join us for a LIVE #KerfefeBreak on #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith on Monday, February 12th at 1pm CST. We're going to take a look at some clips of Ice Cube, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand and others discussing the dangers of fame.

Four decades of racist discrimination in college admissions was struck down by the Supreme Court last year in a case involving Harvard and UNC.

Join us for a LIVE Watch-Along on #Deprogrammed with Keri Smith, Wednesday, January 31st at 6pm CST. We're watching footage from yesterday's arguments both for and against SB-14 in front of the Texas Supreme Court. SB-14 is a Texas bill that bans Texas doctors from performing mutilating "gender transition" surgeries on children or giving often sterilizing puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones to children. The bill was to go into effect in September of 2023, but a district court judge issued a temporary injunction on the law, which resulted in Texas's Attorney General filing an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, which allowed the ban to take effect September 1, 2023. Those who support mutilating and sterilizing children are asking that the Texas Supreme Court reinstate the injunction on the ban. This is an important developing story for us to watch together, to familiarize ourselves with the arguments both for and against "gender affirming care" (an Orwellian phrase) for children. The line dividing good and evil is clear in these arguments.
