In a tense exchange with Tucker Carlson, Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson defended his decision to veto a bill banning what the Fox News host described as “chemical castration” of children.
Article by Art Moore from WND.
Carlson was referring to hormone treatments and puberty blockers that are used to “transition” from one sex to another.
Hutchinson contended Carlson was misrepresenting the bill, which passed Tuesday when the legislature overrode the governor’s veto.
“If this had been a bill that simply prohibited chemical castration, I would have signed the bill,” he said in the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” interview Tuesday.
The bill bans transgender surgery for minors as well as horomone treatments and puberty blockers.
Hutchinson said he would have supported legislation that restricted only transgender surgery, which currently is not performed on minors in the state.
The bill “was overbroad, it was extreme,” he said, going “far beyond what you just said.”

“This is the first law in the nation that invokes the state between medical decisions, parents who consent to that and the decision of the patient. And so, this goes way too far. And in fact, it doesn’t even have a grandfather clause that those young people that are under hormonal treatment,” he argued.
The governor said he’s heard from pediatricians, social workers and the parents of transgender youth who argue such children risk depression and suicide.
But Carlson emphasized that there is no research showing that such treatments decrease depression and self-harm, and, in fact, there are indications they make things worse. And, later in the interview, he cited a study showing “the overwhelming majority of kids who do not take life-altering hormones in the end decide not to ‘transition’ to a new sex.”
“With respect,” Carlson said. “It doesn’t sound like you have studied it very deeply. I mean, this is an emerging field. There’s not a lot of research. But the research that exists suggests the depression and the urge to self-harm and suicide is a component, is a side effect of taking these hormones.”
Carlson cited a study in Britain finding the overwhelming majority of children given puberty-blocking hormones had the urge to hurt themselves.
“Why is that responsible medicine, to do that to children? Why would you support something like that?” he asked.
Acknowledging there are “a lot of unknowns here,” Hutchison said his familiar with the British study, and he’s “studied this bill and in contrast to what you just said, I spent a lot of time reviewing cases, meeting with people, listening to the experts as well as to faith leaders as well.”
‘This is one that crosses the line’
‘The governor described himself as a “person of faith” who has “signed pro-life bills.”

“I sign many bills that would be looked at as very conservative. But this is one that crosses the line. There is no need for it,” he said.
Carlson asked for evidence, arguing “there is not a single study that I’m aware of that shows an improvement in the mental health of children who take puberty blockers who are chemically castrated, and you couldn’t cite one.
The Fox News host told Hutchinson it appears that he hasn’t done his homework.
“You are not familiar,” Carlson said. “You were told by doctors that it’s a good idea and you went with it.”
Walmart Foundation backs Hutchison
Carlson asked if there was any corporate pressure on him in Arkansas, from Tysons, Dillard’s or Walmart, which are headquartered in the state.
“I answered that question and I said, no, I have not. Do you have another question,” Hutchinson said.
Carlson replied that he was “skeptical that not a single corporation in the state of Arkansas has weighed in with you, one way or the other, on this bill.”
On Tuesday, Walmart heir Tom Walton of the Walton Family Foundation issued a statement posted on the foundation website supporting Hutchison’s veto.

“We are alarmed by the string of policy targeting LGBTQ people in Arkansas. This trend is harmful and sends the wrong message to those willing to invest in or visit our state,” he said.
“We support Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s recent veto of discriminatory policy and implore government, business and community leaders to consider the impact of existing and future policy that limits basic freedoms and does not promote inclusiveness in our communities and economy,” Walton said.
“Our nation was built on inalienable rights and strengthened by individual differences. Arkansas has been called the land of opportunity because it is a place where anyone can think big and achieve the extraordinary. Any policy that limits individual opportunity also limits our state’s potential.”

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
