Eleven year-old Kai Shappley has had a tough time just being a kid. Her whole life, the state of Texas, where she lives, has been policing what bathrooms she can use, what name she can go by—and a myriad of other basic personal freedoms afforded to kids who are not transgender, like Kai. Last April, a new directive from Texas Governor Greg Abbott asserts that gender-affirming care provided to minors is tantamount to child abuse. And now Kai—and countless other trans kids in Texas—is in danger of being taken from her family. For the past six years, VICE News correspondent Gianna Toboni has been spending time in Texas with Kai and her mother, Kimberly Shappley, documenting the family as they weave in and out of the state's crosshairs.

It feels like hardly a day goes by when you don't hear about the passage of a new, sweeping abortion law, an abortion-rights group challenging the law or another state weighing in on the treatment of transgender children, medically or within the school system. At the core of all this is bodily autonomy. How much say does an individual have over their own body?The phrase "my body, my choice" has been often used by those seeking to defy public health orders for the past two years. Meanwhile, state lawmakers have made consequential decisions impacting the ability of Americans to make personal healthcare decisions, which are a matter of life and death.In our sixth episode this season, we look at Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordering the state's Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents of transgender kids receiving gender-affirming care, a process he called "abusive." We also dive deeper into the fallout of the state's ban on abortions beyond six weeks of pregnancy and the copycat laws that have cropped up around the nation.

Click here for the full episode, including the extended interview with Michael Hudson. We asked economist and “futurist” Michael Hudson, economic advisor and professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, his thoughts on the people who have run our country for the 50 years he's studied US politics. “They're sociopaths. They think it's a game. They don't care about the things you and I care about.” He shares a dark story of the Carter administration's strategy to cause a drought that would raise American grain prices so they could pay for higher priced oil. This, plus the constant racist, elitist sacrifice of people in third-world countries, caused him to leave his post as economic advisor. And nearly 50 years later, the US strategy in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Africa, and all over hasn't changed. It's all about money and power. “I won't say that Biden and Trump are Chinese agents,” he says in a scathing review of the presidents. “But if they were, they couldn't have done anything to serve China more.” Hudson is the next in a long line of Useful Idiots guests to take down President Joe. And after last week's explosive clip of Biden mocking a former marine, we're pretty sure a lot of people are beginning to agree.

On today's episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we sit down with the MEGAVIRAL Democratic Superstar, Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow. Senator Mallory McMorrow represents Michigan's 13th district. By now, unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard her viral speech on the Senate floor in which she blasted her GOP colleague who called her a “groomer” in a fundraising email. This video quickly amassed more than 10 million views in just 24 hours. Senator McMorrow talks to us about Democratic messaging, how she flipped a majority republican district and convinced them to vote for her, and the disgusting attack on her integrity by her repulsive GOP colleague. The remainder of the episode, the brothers break down the latest GOP attacks on business and America itself. From DeSantis & Ted Cruz attacking Disney to Greg Abbott's costing the American people nearly $9 billion, the GOP has gone full-blown fascist. Lastly, we discuss the latest Jan 6. developments including Alex Jones FLIPPING (or begging for immunity) and what this means for the investigation.
