TRANS ID SEEMS TO BE DROPPING And it's dropping most in young people, thank God. Professor Eric Kaufmann, who I caught up with this past weekend for an interview, says it is and brings the data to back it up. Read the first story in Unherd here, and then check out his Substack that refutes all the nerdy statistical criticisms here. Follow him on X here. And he's at the University of Buckingham, not Birmingham as I saw at the end of the interview.

ANOTHER WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM WILDFIRES I was talking about a story on a new wildfire protection system for homes when I got an email from a guy named Randy Lang with waveGUARD™ Corporation about HIS fire protection system for homes.

WE NEED TO LEGALIZE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS FOR EVERYONE If we could do this ONE THING your health insurance life would be so much better and cheaper than it is now. Catastrophic health plans, those that don't kick in until you hit a pretty high deductible, are available, but only to people under 30 who show financial hardship. That's the law for Obamacare and in this column my pal Steve Moore explains that it needs to be available for EVERYONE who wants to buy it. Y'all, if you could buy this plan and then do a Direct Primary Care plan your lif would change. You'd have a better quality of healthcare with the comfort of knowing big stuff is covered. Why won't Democrats let this happen? Because they are trying to condition us for single payer where everything is "free". Steve joins me at 12:30 to discuss.

WE PUT THE COPS ON THE HOOK And it is affecting how policing is done and not in a good way. DA Michael Allen of the 4th Judicial District was listening the other day when we talked about this study by the Common Sense Institute about how we've stopped putting criminals in jail and crime has gone up. He reached out to remind me that the changes made to qualified immunity for cops has also had negative pressure on policing, so we're going to check in with him about that today at 2:30.

LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE? We are hearing a lot about how Obamacare subsidies are going away and that people won't be able to afford health insurance, but there are options! I've had Travis Bockenstedt from Pinnacle Advanced Primary Care on the show many times, but today he is joined by CEO Lisa Fagan from Smith Medical Direct Specialty Care to talk about how direct services can save you big.

JEFFCO SCHOOLS VOTERS, PAY ATTENTION TODAY Because I've got Lindsay Datko from JeffCo Kids First on to talk about how her organization was alerted to the troubled past of one of the school board candidates that WAS backed by the teachers union. The union rescinded their endorsement but not until after calling JeffCo Kids First "extremists" for bringing up a sexual crime in a school board race.
