Topic: Transgender Agenda
Discussed by Mary Elizabeth Castle

In Joe Biden’s twisted mind, people can choose their own gender and change it whenever they want to. Now, he wants your children to be forced to adhere to his opinion.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is the Left so focused on “gender identity”? Listen closely as Mary Elizabeth Castle reveals how many “genders” people are now identifying as! It is no longer just “LGBTQ”!
What has been the result of biological males competing against females in high school and college sports?
The Texas Legislature has banned biological males from competing against females in high school and college sports. Will Biden’s new rules void the Texas Laws protecting females?
Mary Elizabeth shares the good news (at least until Congress decides to make a Federal law change). She also urges parents to be vigilant and proactive NOW and continue to protect their children (especially daughters) from Biden’s grasp.

Title: Drag Queen Court Ruling: Judge Allows Sexual Performances in Front of Kids
Topic: Transgender Agenda
Discussed by Jonathan Covey
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
On September 26, 2023, Federal Judge David Hittner out of Houston ruled that the
state’s new law protecting kids from sexualized performances is an
“unconstitutional restriction on speech”. Hittner further stated: “Not all
people will like or condone certain performances. This is no different than a
person’s opinion on certain comedy or genres of music.”
Texas Values Director of Policy Jonathan Covey disagrees wholeheartedly with
Judge Hittner’s decision. Today, Jonathan gives more details about the case and
what we all must do going forward to protect our kids.
Click
here to read more details on this interview from Jonathan Covey.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What was the purpose and goal of SB12 the “Stop Drag Queen Shows for Kids Bill”?
Did drag queens argue before the Federal Judge that their performances are
“art”?
Did drag queens argue before the Federal Judge that SB12 violated their First
Amendment rights, claiming that they have the right to perform in front of
minors? Jonathan explains why he believes that this case could wind up being
heard by the United States Supreme Court, saying: “There is no such thing as a
kid-friendly drag show.” He then gives a short law lesson on why obscenity is
not protected under the First Amendment.
What are “time, place, and manner restrictions”?
How will Judge Hittner’s ruling effect SB12 before it is heard before the 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals? What if the 5th Circuit rules against Judge Hittner?
The battle to protect our children is far from over. What can we do to protect
them? Jonathan says: “We know that this kind of stimuli… has a detrimental
effect going into teenage years and early adulthood… it increases the chances
for anxiety and for depression… We have a duty as individuals to make sure kids
are protected.”

Planned Parenthood and a host of other Texas pro-abortion
organizations filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas
district judges, Texas Health and Human Services, and others regarding the Texas
Heartbeat Act (SB8), which prohibits abortions after the detection of the
preborn baby’s heartbeat.
Jonathan Saenz, President of Texas Values, has more details about this ground-breaking, first-of-its-kind
Heartbeat Act and the ridiculous lawsuit against it. Jonathan calls the bullying attempt a “baseless scare tactic with no legal footing”.
Click

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Will SB8 hold up under judicial review?
Is SB8 a novel approach to reducing the number of abortions? Jonathan explains why he believes it is a “wise approach”.
How can a private citizen possibly know if a woman is going to get an abortion after her baby’s heartbeat has been detected? How can a private citizen possibly know if a doctor is going to perform an abortion on a baby who has a heartbeat? How can a private citizen prove that the baby has a beating heart?
Bottom Line: If the Texas Heartbeat Act stands, will it save babies?

Title: The “Merry Christmas Texas” Project
Topic: Merry Christmas
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
It is sad that the war on Christmas has necessitated a “Merry
Christmas Texas Project” but that’s where we are today. Jonathan Saenz, the President of
Texas Values, has more details about State Representative Dwayne Bohac’s
HB308, a one-page law passed in 2013.
Christmas has been recognized as a federal holiday by the United States since the 1870s. Landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases have made it clear that such expressions and displays are permissible. Since the passage of the Merry Christmas Law, Texas Values has helped defeat efforts across the state to attack Christmas.
“We hope the Merry Christmas Texas Project means less Texas school districts are naughty, and more are nice,” said Jonathan Saenz, president of Texas Values.

Part 1 of 3
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.
Austin ISD has adopted a horrific, graphic, disgusting sex education program. Many, many parents are appalled and are protesting the material.
Even if you don’t live in Austin ISD, you MUST pay attention to these segments. The homosexual agenda is alive in each and every public school district in Texas.
David Walls, Vice President of Texas Values, has more details.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Could the same sex education material being distributed to Austin ISD school-age children be handed out by parents on the playground?
Why did David and other leaders copy images from the material to distribute to parents?
NOTE: The curriculum is over 1,100 pages long!!! Why? Is this to discourage parents from reading all the material before it is given to their children?
How long does it take to inculcate children in sex education?
How many Austin ISD school board members voted in favor of this radical sex education material?
David Wells doesn’t believe that any of the board members even read the material. “This is weaponizing education that is in direct conflict of most parents and families.,” David says. Listen as he explains why…

Discussed by Mary Elizabeth Castle

Part 1 of 2
You have probably heard about James Younger, the 7-year-old boy
whose mother wants him to chemically castrate him in order so she can have a “daughter”.
The father, who is divorced from the child’s mother, absolutely objects to this medical procedure. Thank goodness, the Judge has ruled BOTH parents must agree to all medical procedures, and the Texas Attorney General’s Office has intervened, as well.
Mary Elizabeth Castle is a Policy Advisor for Texas Values. She says: “Children should not be forced to undergo life-altering and dangerous gender transitions. This is a victory for parental rights and common sense.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can a 7-year-old sign a marriage certificate, have an abortion, sign a binding contract, or direct a doctor to perform a tonsillectomy?
Why is it important to know that James’ mom and dad are divorced? Does it matter if one, or both of the parents, may be homosexual?
Did the parents opt for a Judge or jury trial? Was the mom or dad asking for full custody?
What was the jury decision? Why did the Judge intervene?
Why did the mom think her son wanted to be girl? Did she backtrack on her original statement about the situation?

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around
young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to

Drag Queen Story Time is typically a hyper-sexualized event marketed and used to
entice young children, ages 3-5, where a man dressed as a woman reads stories
which promote exploring topics of sexuality and transgender issues. Many of the
readers also perform at homosexual adult venues. Some of the readers have even
been known to hold the children in their laps during the event. In Houston, two
of the volunteers were convicted of sexual abuse against minors.
Jonathan Saenz, with Texas Values, obviously has some major concerns
over these Drag Queen Story Hours. What are you thoughts? Send us comments

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why are those with a Christ/Biblical centered worldview often called “haters”?
Are parents and grandparents commanded to protect children in their care from
sexual predators?
Is society today elevating evil to a status of good?
What is the danger in allowing Drag Queens access to read to and to physically
touch children during Story Time in public libraries?
Are parents just unaware that these type of events are going on? Or are they
turning a blind eye in the name of “tolerance”?

Left-wing legislators have formed Texas' first "LGBTQ Caucus"
promising a "transformative" and "strategic" agenda.
This includes proposed laws that would attack people of faith so aggressively, we can legitimately describe them as “Ban the Bible” bills.
Jonathan Saenz, the President of Texas Values, has an important update for us today. Pay close attention!
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the goal of Texas’ first LGBTQ Caucus?
Are they really trying to “Ban the Bible”? Is this literal or figurative?
Would Christian counselors be punished for simply having a Bible visible in their office?
Depending on where their church service is held, would some pastors be punished for preaching about certain sins, such as homosexuality? This is a loaded question with a complicated answer. Listen close!
Do they want to remove the words "Mother" and "Father" from Texas birth certificates?
Is the homosexual agenda becoming out of control?
Would Christians in Texas who do not comply face fines, jail time, or other criminal charges?

While we were all distracted by the killing of a gorilla in order to save a
young boy’s life, Congress was doing the unthinkable – again. Last week, over 40
Republicans in the U.S. House joined with Democrats to allow the passage of a
dangerous amendment from Rep. Sean Maloney (D-NY) to an appropriations bill. The
amendment would place into law President Obama's radical LGBT agenda and punish
those who try to exercise their religious freedom. Thank goodness only one lone
Texas Republican – Rep. Will Hurd (CD 23 - San Antonio) – voted IN FAVOR of the
Maloney Amendment.
Jonathan Saenz is an attorney and President of Texas Values. He is here
today to discuss the seriousness of the Maloney Amendment.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What does “gender identification” mean and why has it become a “class

Title: What Will be the End to this Game?
Topic: Marriage and the Church
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
Now that the Supreme Court has
issued its ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, the left says it’s time for us
Conservative Christians to just get over it. Move on because, after all, it’s a
non-issue, they say. Well, no. We won’t “move on” and we most certainly will not
just “get over it”.
The left doesn’t want equality; they want superiority. But that is never gonna
happen. They started it and we plan to finish it – and finish it strong – in
support of traditional marriage as God intended it to be. We haven’t backed down
during the last 42 years since Roe vs Wade. We haven’t stopped fighting the
murder of millions upon millions of innocent babies just because we’ve lost a
few battles here and there. What makes them think we’ll just give up now?
Jonathan Saenz is a Christian attorney. He says, “It’s not only a hollow
argument, it’s very presumptuous and intolerant…When you shut Americans out of
the system, they will respond vigorously.” He goes on to discuss why it’s so
important that government employees continue to have the right to work in a
peaceful, non-threatening environment where they can make decision based on
their religious convictions. This is America and the 1st Amendment still stands.
The Supreme Court decision does not change that fact.
“We’re seeing the true colors of the homosexual advocates and it’s not the
rainbow flag,” Jonathan points out. It’s the color of intolerance and
restricting religious freedom. The homosexual mafia has been crying for decades
about their 1st Amendment rights being trampled on. Now that they have won a
small victory, they want to strip away the 1st Amendment rights from everyone
who doesn’t agree with them. So, in reality, they have created more conflict!

Texas – where we stand for faith in God, family, and freedom to
worship and to practice our religious faith at church, at home, and in the
market place. Jonathon Saenz, President of Texas Values,
discusses HB3567, filed by Representative Scott Sanford (R-McKinney). HB3567
protects the religious freedom rights of pastors, clergy, and churches in Texas
relating to marriage. HB3567 makes also ensures that the government cannot use
civil or criminal action as a means of punishment on this issue.
There is a lot of alarm across the state of Texas and the nation concerning
same-sex marriage. We’ve seen the government force business owners to provide
their service to same-sex couples against their religious beliefs. We’ve seen
the Mayor of Houston threaten to subpoena pastors’ sermons concerning the issue.
Many wonder what the government will do next.
The strength of the family is the core of our religious freedom. It is very
important for churches, pastors, and members to pay attention to the legislature
and what bills are introduced concerning religious freedom, specifically
concerning same-sex marriage. Jonathon Saenz says, “Some bills can be used
as weapons against religious freedom.” He believes it is vital to stay
informed and stay involved.

Plano, Texas – yes, PLANO – has done the unimaginable. They have bowed to the

have recently.
Some of the issues on the LGBT Wish List from 1972: Repeal the legal restriction
on the sex or number of people entering a marriage. Repeal all laws governing
transvestitism and cross-dressing. Release of ALL sexual offenders incarcerated
for crimes related to sexual orientation. Repeal all age of consent laws.
Federal funding for all homosexual organizations and advocacy groups. Sex
education in public schools should be presented by homosexuals advocating their
lifestyle as the preferred way of life.
Listen in as Jonathan Saenz discusses these issues and what could happen to your

Title: No Unequal Rights
Topic: Homosexual Agenda
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
The time to act is NOW. If you live inside the Houston City Limits, please
log on to www.NoUNEqualRights.com to see how you can help gather signatures this
week.
If you live outside the city limits, we need your help, too! We need you to
pray. Cover the workers with prayer daily. Pray for their safety and health.
Pray that God will use them to touch others.
Future generations depend on the outcome of this petition drive. If we do not
gather enough signatures, the people will not be allowed to vote on this
ordinance in November. It might take years and years, even decades, to reverse
the damage that Lesbian Mayor Annise Parker has polluted our city with.

Title: The Merry Christmas Law
Topic: Merry Christmas Law
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
The Merry Christmas Law has
already helped one school district this Christmas season. A PTA email in Frisco
ISD sought to ban a “reference to Christmas or any other religious holiday” and
“no red/green or Christmas trees.” When this news arrived at the office of Texas
State Rep Pat Fulton, quick action was taken to remedy the mistake.
Students, teachers, administrators, and parents have the right to say “Merry
Christmas” and to use what decorations they want to. In case questions should
arise, download a summary of the law to have on hand at
www.MerryChristmasTexas.com.

Title: There Is Unity In the Church. Why?
Topic: No River Walk For Christians
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
The Mayor and City
Council members of San Antonio want to open up the women’s public bathrooms to
perverts – and businesses!
San Antonio is the seventh largest city in America and it is now ruled by the
wishes of the radical homosexual movement.
It may be too late to stop the push to further legitimize their deviant
behavior, but we do not have to spend our money in San Antonio.
Listen in.

violations of the religious freedom of Texans that I have ever seen.”
He further states: “Any form of this ordinance is a major threat to the
religious liberty of everyone in San Antonio.”

Title: Good vs. Evil: For All To See
Topic: Good vs. Evil Exposed
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
We may never know the entire inventory of the backpacks carried by the
protesters. But one thing is perfectly clear: good vs. evil was on display for
all to witness.
During the Holocaust, one church was near the railroad tracks. As the train
would come by during church services, to mask the screams of Jews on their way
to the death-camps, those inside the church ‘just sang louder’.
Never forget what happened in Austin recently during the passage of the Pro-Life
bill. Evil was on display for all to see and to witness. What are you doing to
save one more life?

Topic: Evolution
Discussed by Jonathan Saenz
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
20 years ago, a Texas Democrat introduced a law concerning “theories” taught in the public education system. This law states that all the strengths and weaknesses of a “theory” must be taught to students. This year, many people – aka Liberal Democrats – wish to remove this law. Why? Because they want to teach our children that evolution is a fact! Guest Jonathon Saenz is the Director of Legislative Affairs at the Free Market Foundation. Log onto www.freemarket.org for more.
