Joe Biden, while he was campaigning to be president, repeatedly promoted the leftist, and unscientific, ideology that boys or men can become girls or women.
Being male or female actually is embedded in the body to the DNA level, so that cannot change.
However, Biden became cheerleader for the ideology that has proven lucrative for providers of chemicals and surgeries, and took that promotion to White House heights while in office.
But he ignored, even while promoting those chemicals and those body-mutilating surgeries as "health care," the results now confirmed in a government study that was being developed at the time, and now is released, revealing that all of those attempts to "change" adults didn't "improve their lives."
The agenda immediately was applied to children, despite the failure in "treating" adults.
In fact, according to a report in the Washington Stand, the report, "Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices," released by the Department of Health and Human Services on May 1, said those "same medical interventions had failed to improve the lives of adults."
"Even after full surgery, "improvement' in their actual life situation is not always observed,' noted a transgender psychologist," the report explained.
The patients' "subjective" feelings varied, with some claiming improvement.
But the report highlights the "weak basis and failed results of medical transitions for minors."
To the question, "Did medical transition at least alleviate gender dysphoria?" the response was, "Interestingly, there was no relationship between reported happiness and stage of transition."
So, the "unsuccessful model for adults in time became the basis for the 'affirming model' for minors," the report said.
The Washington Stand noted that Harry Benjamin, the "father of the transgender medicine," once sued the Journal of the American Medical Association for calling his work "quackery," and lost.
Indeed the report explains that while Benjamin promised to change bodies to "at least resemble those of the sex to which they feel they belong," there are few early instances of those surgical procedures and the first known patient, Einar Wegener, who became Lili Elbe, died in 1931 after an "abyss of suffering."
The agenda moved into the U.S. when in 1952 a former soldier traveled to Denmark for surgery and the media screamed, "EX-GI BECOMES BLONDE BEAUTY: OPERATIONS TRANSFORM BRONX YOUTH." He subsequently was met on his return by 300 reporters and was paid $20,000 for an interview.
Still the agenda remained relatively obscure.
Eventually assessments began with a survey of 229 patients in the Netherlands Gender Care Foundation, and, HHS said, "While the self-reported subjective outcomes were good, objective measures told a different story."
"One in seven [male-to-female transitioners] and one in 36 [female-to-male transitioners] had attempted suicide after treatment began. (Of the total number of patients seen at the NGCF in the previous 10 years, three had committed suicide after treatment.) 60% of the MFs and 37% of the FMs were unemployed and 59% of the MFs and 33% of the FMs had no romantic partners," HHS observed.
"If it is possible to discern a trend in these reports that the subjective well-being of the transsexuals has increased, whereas an 'improvement' in their actual life situation is not always observed," the study said, concluding that surgeries did not appear to lessen patients' gender dysphoria.
"Although a fair number of persons attribute their feelings of happiness to SRS, there appears to be no direct relation between the subjective well-being and the phase of therapy. Those who have completed SRS are not happier or less happy than those who are still in the initial phase of therapy. In other words, a person's positive evaluation of his/her life-in-its-totality is not directly related to his/her progress in physical adjustment to the opposite sex."
The conclusion noted pursuing gender alterations is no assurance of happiness and that actually "can lead to new problems."
Despite the facts, the gender industry developed a model of puberty blockers at 12, cross-sex hormones at 16 and surgery at 18.
The results align with multiple other studies that show a high level of suicide, or attempted suicide, among members of the transgender community.

President Donald Trump expressed outrage Wednesday at CBS News and its "60 Minutes" program being nominated for an Emmy award for its deceptively edited interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 White House race.
"In a total slap in the face to anyone who believes in TRUTH and Honest Journalism, this Fake News Puff Piece has now been nominated for an award by the totally discredited Emmys," Trump posted on Truth Social.
"Did 60 Minutes and its Corporate Parents apply to get an Emmy for an illegally falsified interview, or did other Fake Outlets nominate them for this dubious 'honor'?
"These antics are why the American People have no trust in the Press, and demand that the Media, very much including 60 Minutes, CBS, and its owners, be held responsible for their corruption and lies, which is exactly what we are doing in Court!"
The president also noted: "The Election Interfering 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which aired on CBS just before Election Day and deep into Early Voting, turned out to be much worse than expected, with her answers being unlawfully fixed, manipulated, and doctored throughout by CBS, in order to try and make Kamala appear at least somewhat coherent."
Trump has already sued the network, seeking $20 billion for what he alleged was election interference, and as WorldNetDaily reported, mediation talks to settle the suit were said to begin last week.
A source familiar with the inner workings of CBS News told Fox News Digital: "The irony is, some folks at '60 Minutes' are popping champagne over an Emmy nomination – for the same interview that landed them in legal hot water. It's a reminder that these awards are voted on by other journalists, not the public, not their bosses – and certainly not lawyers."
CBS' parent company, Paramount Global, is hoping to complete a planned multibillion-dollar merger with Skydance Media.
Meanwhile, Bill Owens, "60 Minutes" executive producer, left the news program last month, complaining about the show's editorial independence.
"Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger," said "60 Minutes" anchor Scott Pelley, discussing the departure of Owens on the air.
"The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories have been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism required."
CBS News released a statement at the time Trump filed suit, indicating: "Former President Donald Trump is accusing '60 Minutes' of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false."
"'60 Minutes' gave an excerpt of our interview to 'Face the Nation' that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on '60 Minutes' was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment."
Howard Kurtz, the former Washington Post media writer who left CNN to join Fox News in 2013, blasted "60 Minutes" as "blatantly unethical" for its "pathetic response."
"This is a pathetic response by '60 Minutes' after a week of silence," Kurtz told Martha MacCallum of Fox News.
"It basically says, 'Yeah, we did it. So what?' They talk about making Kamala Harris sound more succinct, in other words, making her look better by switching up the answers as you just saw. You can't have a different part of an answer to the same question."
"It's blatantly unethical, and if someone on my staff did that, they'd be looking for a new job," he continued.

Lawmakers in California, stunningly, have refused to make buying kids for sex a felony.
There's a new report in the Federalist that explains the antics of Democrats who insisted on having their way with a new law, and what it means.
The report, written as a commentary, explained, "Should it be a felony to purchase an underage minor for illegal sex? For most of us, the answer is a very easy yes. This is not a hard one."
But Democrats in the state "feel differently."
"The state assembly there this past week considered a bill — AB-379 — that would have amended state law to make it a felony to solicit paid sex from 'any person under 18 years of age.' In other words, if you seek out and pay a minor for sex — if you engage in child sex trafficking — you would be guilty of a felony."
Democrats there, the report said, "mounted a major opposition to the bill. By the time they were done with it, the bill's protections for 16-year-old sex crime victims had been stripped from the measure."
They added their claim that it was "the intent of the Legislature to adopt the strongest laws to protect 16- and 17-year-old victims," but then they refused to do just that, the report said.
The opposition, the report said, stemmed from concern "that the measure could disproportionately affect … LGBT Californians."
"The ACLU of Southern California claimed in part that similar measures 'have been used disproportionately against … LGBTQ+ individuals,'" the report said, while "Other opponents of the bill claimed that the measure could be used by parents who are upset that their children are in 'LGBTQ relationships.'"
Those beliefs were justified by state Sen. Scott Wiener, who long has promoted the LGBT ideologies, the report said, when he commented, "sending an 18-year-old high school senior to state prison for offering his 17-year-old classmate $20 to fool around isn't smart criminal justice policy."
Social media backlash was harsh.
"This pervert wants to allow children to be prostituted."
And, "You're an embarrassment to the party…"
And, "This is absolutely bonkers."
The report explained, "At best, Democrats and other opponents of this bill are attempting to defend underage prostitution as a normal feature of young relationships (it's not). At worst, they are revealing, inadvertently, that LGBT individuals are apparently regular participants in the sex trafficking of minors."
The bill itself concerned itself only with "paying for sex with minors."
And the report warned, "Most functioning adults consider it a very bad thing when underage children are paid for sex, no matter the circumstances. Opponents of this bill are acting as if they are defending meaningful, intimate relationships, rather than innately harmful, exploitative, and dangerous ones."
The report said, "The party has sent an unmistakable message to sexual predators around the country: If you come to California to buy a minor, the state government is prepared to go easy on you."

'This is what worries me about robotic surgery'
A video has appeared online of a malfunction of a robot at a China factory.
"Malfunction," however, might not be the most accurate term.
"This is what the machine uprising might look like: a video is going viral online showing a robot going berserk during testing," explained NEXTA, a large Eastern European media concern, which posted the video.
One response on social media tried to explain it away: "Clearly unbalanced, then tried using algorithms to rebalance, but the algorithms were not tuned which led to wild oscillations, furthering the imbalance. This is 'not' an "attack."
That might not be reassuring to two workers, near the robot when it powered up, who then jumped out of reach of the flaying robot arms, then circled around to try to stabilize the stand to which robot was attached.
The robot has become so violent it was moving the stand across the floor.
The end of the video appears to show the robot being powered down. The report did not identify the time frame or location of the incident.
Online reaction includes:
"Went full terminator."
"This is what worries me about robotic surgery."
"I've had AI legit sabotage entire projects I'm doing with blatant lies. No lie."
"That's why I always say 'Thanks' to chatgpt."
"Terminator is coming … better be ready … the Oligarchy is accelerating the mass production of Robots for a reason … Whoever controls the AI and the Robots will have major dominance worldwide."
"Apparently the robot uprising can be avoided just by moving 3 meters away from the robots."
'It just wants a hug so badly."
"He just wanted to dance … "

Plaintiffs who sued the state of Alabama over its new law, a few years ago, that protects children from harmful drugs and surgeries, have given up.
Jonathan Scruggs, of the ADF, explained the American Civil Liberties Union and others sought the dismissal of Boe v. Marshall, where "politicized interest groups worked alongside the Biden administration" challenged the state's protections for children.
"Alabama rightly enacted a law that protects children's welfare—supporting their natural development and ensuring that children experiencing gender dysphoria have a chance for healing and compassionate mental-health support," he said in a prepared statement.
"Across the globe, we're seeing a refreshing return to sanity after radical gender ideology devastated far too many young lives. Alliance Defending Freedom has been honored to support Alabama and the leadership of Alabama Attorney General Marshall to protect children and families. We applaud Alabama and the 24 other states that are following the science, protecting children, and working to stop an unsafe medical experiment that has gone on far too long."
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said, "Three years ago, multiple sets of plaintiffs represented by the ACLU, SPLC, and some of the nation's largest law firms filed suit against Alabama to challenge our law protecting vulnerable kids from life-altering sex-change procedures. We fought back. We defeated a preliminary injunction and conducted court-ordered discovery into the so-called 'standards of care' that these groups claimed were evidence-based. What we found was devastating to plaintiffs' challenge: a medical, legal, and political scandal that will be studied for decades. Given the evidence we uncovered, it is no surprise the plaintiffs abandoned their challenge. We uncovered the truth. We exposed the scandal. We won."
A report at AL.com said the law bans transgender youth from so-called "gender-affirming care."
That's the description members of the lucrative "gender-affirming care" industry use to describe costly chemical treatments and body mutilating surgeries that are prescribed for children with gender dysphoria.
In most of those cases, the dysphoria eventually is resolved without intervention if children are left alone.
The Alabama legislature passed the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act in 2022, prompting a group of parents to sue.
"The law makes it a felony for doctors to administer puberty blockers and hormones to individuals under 19 years of age. If convicted an individual could be sentenced to over 10 years in prison," the report said.
Several national campaigns, including the far-left Human Rights Campaign, the extremist Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders, were representing plaintiffs.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLAD Law provided a joint statement to AL.com, stating, "We will continue fighting to ensure families across the country have the freedom to get their transgender children the proven medical care that enables them to thrive."

According to a new report by the American Security Project, two out of three of the country's reserve forces – nearly 68% – are overweight. On X, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lamented: "Completely unacceptable. This is what happens when standards are IGNORED – and this is what we are changing. REAL fitness & weight standards are here. We will be FIT, not FAT."
WorldNetDaily spoke to retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie, who provided data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database about overweightness and obesity. Using the International Classification of Diseases code of E66, it's quite evident in the chart below that issues concerning weight have become a genuine problem in today's military.
Between 2016 and 2019, there was an average of 13,863 cases recorded concerning overweightness and obesity across all branches of service. The average number of cases increased to 21,969 between 2020 and 2023. Incredibly, there was a 190 percent increase between 2020 and 2023, also tripling from 12,249 to 35,531.
"Hegseth is going after the low hanging fruit that should have been dealt with as people failed to meet the standards," Macie argued. "We have to focus on why our troops fail to meet them and why the Department of Defense (DoD) chose to retain that group of people and purge those who did meet them but refused EUA products," referring to so-called vaccines available for "emergency use only" – most notoriously, the COVID-19 mRNA shots.
What's more, he added, "There are things that are consequentially bigger health issues at stake inside the DoD," including the rise in incidents of myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, ovarian dysfunction and more throughout the military, following the now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.
The major factor that has an obvious impact on obesity and fitness levels, said Macie, is nutrition. "The food on bases around the country is little more than fast food or genetically altered food," he shared. Healthy options, to include organic foods for example, are largely unavailable.
"The SecDef needs to acknowledge that the shot caused a variety of adverse health events, including myocarditis, other cardiac issues, cancer and so much more," Macie asserted. "And on top of that, it's time to offer [service members] something besides fast food and the other trash provided to help bring the force back to its full strength."
Having viewed the alarming data provided by Macie, WND also spoke to former U.S. Army public affairs officer Dr. Chase Spears. Having left the service just recently, in 2023, the retired major admitted that part of the Army experience is "fitness based" and Defense Secretary Hegseth is right to be concerned. There are body weight and fitness requirements, and these are based on age and gender, for example.
Spears shared that "while the Army has always had standards to be met, I saw people throughout my 20-year career that were clearly overweight." These service members were scattered throughout all ranks. However, Spears told WND, it was also "understood that if some people were a high enough rank, they definitely weren't held to the standard." As an example, he pointed to the overweight appearance of Gen. (ret.) Mark Milley, who previously served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
For Dr. Spears, the obesity issue in the military is threefold. One, the current fitness standard is "very generous" and there are still people failing to meet this standard. Two, the importance of good nutrition is being ignored. And finally, he said, "it goes back to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's 'No Walking on Eggshells Policy.'"
To that end, on Monday, Hegseth signed a policy to implement one of the latest reforms to the military since taking office. Officially titled "Restoring Good Order and Discipline Through Balanced Accountability," he also affectionately dubbed this latest move as "The No More Walking on Eggshells Policy."
In a video posted on Fox News, Hegseth said the reform "directs a comprehensive review of equal opportunity programs to ensure prompt and impartial investigations, fair treatment to all parties involved, and timely and appropriate resolution of allegations of discrimination."
Regarding Spears' third observation about obesity in the military, he added, "I'm not sure Hegseth realizes it or not, but this conversation ties directly to this policy. There's been a breakdown of discipline the last few years, and it's the grievance culture that has completely shattered it."
Spears also explained the difficulty of "calling out" service members of the opposite sex, people of color or those of higher rank. "Heaven help you if you say something, because the current grievance system is going to go into full effect against you," he explained. "If you tell a soldier you want to talk about his or her weight, you're putting yourself at risk of an [equal opportunity] investigation against yourself."
Despite what he sees as a few potential shortcomings, Spears affirmed that what Hegseth is offering is "absolutely key to being able to perform a military task, whether combat related or not." He added, "You want people who have the mental acuity that comes with a physically fit body to be able to make decisions under stress."

The latest chapter of leftists and Democrats advocating for violence, even murder, has arrived.
There long have been statements by that community that call for the removal or elimination of President Donald Trump, verbiage that one report called "assassination prep."
Now an instructor from a school in Maine has turned blunt, with JoAnna St. Germain of Waterville Senior High calling on the Secret Service to kill Trump and his supporters.
On Facebook, she insisted the federal agency "step up" and avoid a civil war by killing Trump and his supporters.
She claimed it would not constitute assassination, since she turned conspiracy theorist with the claim Trump is not a legitimate president "duly elected by the American people."
She said, "If I had the skill set required, I would take them out myself."
Jonathan Turley, a constitutional expert and professor of public interest law at George Washington University, was quick to comment.
"Whatever 'skill set' St. Germain possess, sanity does not appear to be part of it," he said.
He noted the recent comments from the left about violence.
"That includes a student who published a column recently on 'when must we kill them?' I noted that such views are often reflections of the many extremists currently in teaching. That was evident this week in Maine, where English teacher JoAnna St. Germain of Waterville Senior High School called upon the Secret Service to kill Trump and his supporters."
She wrote, "I believe Trump and every sycophant he has surrounded himself with (this is not you – if you're reading this, this doesn't apply to you. You are beneath his notice and mine) needs to die. I believe this with the same forceful belief that Hitler and his sycophants needed to die, before they murdered 6 million innocent Jewish persons."
Turley explained, "These faculty members have normalized violent speech."
"After losing the last election, some on the left are turning to calls for violence or committing political violence. Ironically, they do so in the name of democracy. That is precisely why rage is so addictive and contagious. It gives you license to do things that you would ordinarily never do," Turley said.
WND reported just days ago on comments from Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat billionaire, of Illinois.
He said, "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on a soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box."
The Federalist explained, "The language is all too familiar and can only be described as assassination prep – carefully cloaked in moral outrage – designed to incite the most egregious acts of political violence. His words follow the same formula of other leftists: frame the political opposition as not merely wrong, but evil and tyrannical, then justify any means to defeat them. Such language is meant to dehumanize their opponents and provide moral permission for violence."
In fact, there have been two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump in the last year.
The comments follow a long tradition of Democrats demanding violence.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., in 2021 for protesters to be "confrontational," a follow to her demand that people harass Trump administration members.
"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. . ..And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, at one point stood at the Supreme Court and threatened Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh: "You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you."
Just last year, Joe Biden complained to donors on a private call it was "time to put Trump in the bull's-eye," the report said.
And, it confirmed, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said Trump "has to be eliminated."
WND reported last year that Kamala Harris had joined the rhetoric.
She had claimed in multiple ways that Trump would be a dictator if elected.
And other Democrats long have been part of the campaign.
For instance, Del. Stacey Plaskett, the Democrat non-voting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, said, "He needs to be shot … stopped."
And a video has assembled more than two minutes of direct threats, often from politicians, entertainers and other public figures:
Among the comments:
"I'd like to punch him in the face."
"If we were in high school I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him," from Joe Biden
"When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?"
"They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. That's a fact."
"Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?"
"I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."
The Trump campaign itself released a compilation of some of the threats, and identified those making the threats. They mostly are political or media figures or political operatives:
Kamala Harris: "Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
Harris: "It's on us to recognize the threat (Trump) poses."
Harris: "Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!"
Joe Biden: "It's time to put Trump in a bull's-eye."
Biden: "I mean this from the bottom of my heart: Trump is a threat to this nation!"
Biden: "There is one existential threat: It's Donald Trump."
Biden: "Trump is a genuine threat to his nation … He's literally a threat to everything America stands for."
Biden : "Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country."
Biden: "Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. … and that is a threat to this country."
Tim Walz: "Are (Republicans) a threat to democracy? Yes … Are they going to put peoples' lives in danger? Yes."
Gwen Walz: "Buh-bye, Donald Trump."
Nancy Pelosi: "(Trump) is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen."
Jasmine Crockett: "MAGA in general – they are threats to us domestically."
Dan Goldeman: "He is destructive to our democracy and … he has to be eliminated."
Disgraced Harris staffer TJ Ducklo: "Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy."
Liz Cheney: "Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis."
Steve Cohen: "Trump is an enemy of the United States."
Maxine Waters: "Are (Trump supporters) preparing a civil war against us?"
Waters: "I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that (Trump) is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere."
Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Trump is an "existential threat to our democracy."
Adam Schiff: Trump is the "gravest threat to our democracy."
Gregory Meeks: "Trump cannot be president again. He's an existential threat to democracy."
Dan Goldman: "Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy."
Jake Auchincloss: "What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to Democracy."
Abigail Spanberger: "Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real."
Annie Kuster: "Trump and his extreme right-win followers pose an existential threat to our democracy."
Becca Balint: "We cannot underestimate the threat (Trump) poses to American democracy."
Jason Crow: "Trump is an extreme danger to our democracy."
Michael Bennet: Trump is "a threat to our democracy."
Steven Horsford: "Trump Republicans are a dangerous threat to our state."
Gave Vasquez: "Remove the national threat from office."
And more….

Kamala Harris returned to the speaker's podium this week, and perhaps her word salads were better.
She's known for unleashing long strings of words that often are held together only tenuously and actually don't respond to the question she was asked, as Joe Biden's vice president and then as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee.
She essentially disappeared from the platform for a time after President Donald Trump's landslide victories in the popular vote and the Electoral College in November.
But she's back.
A report at Fox News revealed how she "urged Democrats across the country to act like elephants in an awkward digression during her speech Wednesday night."
She offered an "angry and negative" view of Trump's first 100 days in office.
Speaking to Emerge's "gala" for the elite in San Francisco, she said, "Okay, it's kind of dark in here, but I am going to ask for a show of hands. Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago? The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you have not seen it. So that scene has been on my mind. Everybody has been asking what are you thinking about these days. For those who haven't seen it, here those elephants were, and as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor."
She continued, "Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer. When they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone. But in the face of crisis, the lesson is don't, don't scatter."
Her sobriety was questioned online, with one informing that the speech was brought to you by "boxed wine."
One on social media said, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
She did not address rumors she now wants to be governor in California, a campaign that California voters, in polling, have rejected.

'It's not sexy admitting that they met when she was at his front door selling boxes of Thin Mints'
PALM BEACH, Florida – Bill Belichick, the legendary NFL football coach who now at age 73 leads the North Carolina Tar Heels, is breaking his silence about a "CBS Sunday Morning" interview in which his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson shut down a question about how the two met.
"We're not talking about that," Hudson could be heard telling Belichick during the segment which has since gone viral to fascinate America.
On Wednesday, Belichick accused CBS of selective editing "to suggest a false narrative – that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation – which is simply not true."
The coach has now issued a statement indicating: "I agreed to speak with 'CBS Sunday Morning' to promote my new book, 'The Art of Winning – Lessons from My Life in Football.'
"Prior to this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon & Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated in would agree to focus solely on the contents of the book.
"Unfortunately, that expectation was not honored during the interview. I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced, and I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book.
Belichick continued: "After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help focus the discussion. She was not deflecting any specific question or topic but simply doing her job to ensure the interview stayed on track. Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021.
"The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career. Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative – that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation – which is simply not true."
CBS News hit back against Belichick's claims, saying there were "no preconditions or limitations to this conversation."
Discussion about the interview has sparked a frenzy of comedic reaction.
The Babylon Bee on Wednesday posted a satire article with the headline: "Bill Belichick puts girlfriend in pack 'n play until practice is over."
"That's it, sweetie, you just stay here and play while I go coach the football men, ok?" Belichick was heard telling his girlfriend, according to the spoof. "You've got your sippy cup and your Veggie Straws here, and I brought some of your favorite toys. Just play nice while your Billy-Bill goes to practice, alright?"
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld clowned that he understood why the pair does not want to give details about their initial meeting.
"I get it," Gutfeld said. "It's not sexy admitting that they met when she was at his front door selling boxes of Thin Mints."
During the same broadcast, former wrestling star and now Fox News contributor Tyrus said of Belichick: "He will no longer be remembered as a great football coach. He will go down as one of the dumbest people ever to put on a pair of shoes.
"It was a cry for help. He looked like he was about to cry during the entire interview, with Satan off to the right … like he is being blackmailed."

President Donald Trump's new appointee to the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice has uncovered a stunningly simple way to clear out the "woke" ideologists from the department: Tell them to do their job.
The new chief, Harmeet Dhillon, has just explained the process to broadcaster Glenn Beck.
A PJMedia report said she explained the "resistance" in the department's different divisions are "self-deporting."
The report noted the DOJ "was full" of "ideologues," "entitled, leftist, wannabe lawyers" who keep coming out of law schools and ending up as "government lawyers."
"Goodness knows the DOJ was full of those lawyers starting with the Obama administration and through the Biden no-hold-barred attacks on civil liberties. Trump 45 never had a chance," the report said.
But when she took over only weeks ago, Dhillon explained that the job of the lawyers in the department is to protect civil rights, and that would include targeting anti-Semitism and anti-Christian discrimination.
They also are to "dismantle the notoriously racist diversity, equity and inclusion" agenda.
"Govern yourself accordingly," they were told.
