We're here 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.760 in Phoenix, Arizona at the y REFI Studio. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.120 Blake, how we doing, Oh, we're doing great. It's a 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:25.720 good morning. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.880 It's a good morning.

We are expecting a packed house. People already 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.280 streaming in. The line is building, they're chanting, they're waving flags. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.880 Even there's an Elvis siding.

So if you're in line, our 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.120 people are gonna come get you, water, all that stuff. 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.920 It's gonna be an excellent event. Some obviously a lot 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.919 of security. We're gonna they're gonna be making us sweep 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.880 cars and think, well, we're not doing the Secret Service 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:09.320 is doing that. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.480 Just know that this is all planned. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.720 So get in line, don't worry about it, and we'll 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.120 have our people come out and talk to you and 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.080 all that stuff. So Dream City Church, build the Red Wall. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.280 It's it's a great day to have President Trump in 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:26.919 Phoenix because Blake ceasefire, Well, we got the ceasefire, and 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.240 the President has fired off a stream of true socials. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.880 We could probably just start rotating through some of these 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.880 of the fact that the Strait has been opened. Even 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.120 Iran's spokespeople are confirming that the Strait is in fact open. 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.520 So to supply context for this, do it, do it. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.600 We announced the seas fire all a while ago, but 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.040 then there was some friction because they wanted it to 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.880 apply to Lebanon. We said it didn't apply to Lebanon, 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.040 so they said it really wasn't fully open. So then 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.680 we began blockading the Straight. So what was announced late 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.720 last night was there is a ten day a ceasefire 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:05.880 between Israel and HESBLA in southern Lebanon that was agreed 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.280 through negotiations here in Washington. And because that ceasefire has 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.920 been achieved, Iran now says they're ready to leave the 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.000 Straight open. But President Trump does say that the blockade 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.760 will continue until we can reach a final agreement with Iran. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:22.200 Yep. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.880 And I think this is a really telling clip because 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.160 as soon as listen, you may not like this conflict, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:33.600 you may have skepticism hesitancy, as I did. But President 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.800 Trump's onto something with this blockade, and the blockade sort 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.200 of exposed. So you know, first of all, you got 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.240 the strikes they take out the missile capabilities. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.320 That's all well and good. You've got I don't know. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.240 Ten to fifteen US destroyers in the area, vessels that 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.400 can actually shoot down missiles whatever they have left in 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.880 their stockpile. So now the Strait was their big point 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.440 of leverage. So if you block the straight, you're cutting 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.480 off their money. That's really a big deal to Iran 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.640 and the future prospects of the Irani regime what's left 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.920 of it. And I think this word that President Trump 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.360 uses with CNN is really really important. Let's go ahead 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.160 and play SOT eight. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.400 Do you think we're now in week seven, entering into 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:16.840 week seven? 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:17.520 Do you think this is it? 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.080 This is the beginning of the end of this war? 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.719 I do. I think the Straits of Horror mows showed 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.279 us the Achilles heel for Iran. I mean, I'm a 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.520 business guy. I know that when revenues start to dry up, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.000 that all of a sudden, you've start to scramble. I 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.600 think the Iranian regime realized that their cash flow was 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.160 going to take a big hit when all of a sudden, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.080 ships can't move in and out of the straits of 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.159 horror news. And so I think President Trump did a 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.920 brilliant job of taking that position. I mean it was, 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.440 you know, it seemed risky to everybody, but really it 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.680 was the one that I think put them on their 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.919 heels and said, look, we have to have that cash. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.080 We've got to find a deal. It'll be interesting. I 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.160 think at the end who we're actually really dealing with. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.480 I know President Trump knows that. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.240 So again, sorry, that was Rep. Marlin Stutzman who use 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.039 that word. The Achilles heel of the Iranian regime is 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.800 that straight of horror moose. That's where all their money 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.120 comes from. That's where all the oil flows out. And 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.520 it's not just oil, by the way, it's petrochemicals. It's 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.719 all kinds of different products. So if you block that 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:17.040 straight and you cut off Iran's ability to get revenue 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.560 from their energy, you basically strangle the economy of Iran, 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.040 and the Iranian leaders understand that. So when you find 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.800 the Achilles heel of your enemy or your opponent in 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.160 this case, now this is straight, you can really exact 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.880 a really massive toll a price. And what is the price? 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.800 President Trump is going to ensure at least this is 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.920 what we're hearing, that he's going to get all of 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:44.680 the nuclear components, the nuclear dust, yes, he says, uranium dust. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.240 Let's just we should read some of these, yeah, he says. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.719 So he opened just two hours ago. He said, the 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.960 Straight of Horror Moves is completely open and ready for 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.839 business and full passage. But the naval blockade will remain 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.480 in force and in effect as it pertains to Iran, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.760 only until such time as our transaction with Iran is 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.880 one hundred percent complete. This process should go very quickly, 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.320 and that most of the points are already negotiated. Thank 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.440 you for your attention, and then he continued right after 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.360 without all caps. This time, the USA will get all 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.960 nuclear dust created by our great b two bombers. No 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.880 money will exchange hands in any way, shape or form. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:19.279 We know. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.159 He was very critical of the Obama nuclear deal, which 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.640 gave Iran a lot of money. He says, this deal 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.800 is in no way subject to Lebanon, but the USA 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.760 will separately work with Lebanon and deal with the HESBLA 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.680 situation in an appropriate manner. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:33.800 Israel will not. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.080 Be bombing Lebanon any longer they are prohibited from doing 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.680 so by the USA. Enough is enough. That's a very 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:41.640 interesting statement. 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.000 Can I pause on this one really quick? 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.040 So I was talking with somebody that is looking at 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.000 the numbers, look at the polling for midterms yesterday, and 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.479 I said, well, what can we what can we do? 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.679 What would be your advice? And the advice was really clear. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.920 It said President Trump has to assert his independence from 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.240 Israel immediately. Now I don't know if this person is 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.320 speaking to the ADMIN about this specifically, but this tweet 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.239 stood out to me because this truth because he's saying 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.880 we're in charge, They're not in charge. We're mandating the 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.520 terms of this, We're telling them to knock it off again. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.000 Remember that moment after Midnight Hammer where there was still 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.040 some missiles going back and forth between Israel in Iran 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.200 and he was not happy. Remember that where he's walking 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.640 out to the I think on the south lawn of 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.720 the White House and he's like, I'm not happy. This 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.360 is not gonna you know, And that was a really 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.960 important moment, I think for the president in that time. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.400 Fast forward today, he's sort of doing this via truth, saying, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.560 here's the terms. Lebanon's not gonna scuttle the deal. I'm 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.960 not going to allow Israel's fight with Hezbolah, whatever you 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.840 may think of that, to scuttle the deal because we 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.200 had a larger thing that we're doing here, and frankly, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.000 it's too important to America to get the deal done 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.760 and over the finish line. And this is my big 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.680 message and my hope is that this is really and 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:01.560 truly the culmination, the finish, the end of this conflict 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.800 in Iran. Let's wrap it up, let's declare victory, Let's 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.520 get the uranium dust, let's put our people in there, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.040 Let's establish and normalize relations with Iran. If he can 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.880 do that in the next if we can wrap this 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.480 puppy up in two three weeks, that is a huge, huge, huge, huge. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.200 I would call it a win, a definitive win for 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.680 President Trump. Now, the political fallout is still a thing. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.520 It's gonna take some time to shake this off, especially 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.320 with younger voters. I've told you guys on the show 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.400 a number of times that young people don't like the 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:33.040 Iranian war. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.559 They don't they don't like it. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.400 Okay, now, you might like it out there, you might 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.800 trust Trump, you might see the geopolitical ramifications of this, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.240 but that doesn't mean that normies out there that aren't 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.920 consuming the news every day understand the ramifications geopolitically, what 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.640 this does to China, what this does potentially to end 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.920 conflicts for a long time in the Middle East. And 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.760 I've said it again. I've said it before and I'll 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.960 say it again that this could have been the absolutely 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.320 right geopolitical national security move, but it will have a 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.640 political cost. So the point in politics is where do 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.640 you want to spend your political capital. We want to 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.640 get through this, and we want to spend our political 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.680 capital right here at home. We want to a nation 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.880 build right here at home. I think it's pretty it's 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.040 as you say. I think it's pretty clear. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.400 As we said, this had a political hit to the president, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.280 but we said, if he can resolve it successfully, pivot domestically, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.280 and if he has something he can point to with 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.160 that this is our last war that this was a 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.040 successful war. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:28.360 They will get over it. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.000 And I think he's excellently set the ground for that. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.880 And now he just has to land the plane. Yep, 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.600 extee the finish line. If he gets that uranium, man, 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.400 he'll have done something no other president has done, not 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:45.560 by a long shot. If you are a parent like me, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.360 sometimes you go through these growth spurts with your kids 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:48.840 at home. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.640 You realize how quickly they're growing. Their pants don't fit, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.520 You got to go get them new clothes, and all 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.160 of that for me is a sign that we need 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.480 to get serious about making sure that they're taken care 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.000 of in the future. It's a burden that we have 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.280 as families to make sure that the next generation our 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.000 loved ones are taken care of should anything happen, a 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.000 safety net big enough for what they need.

That's policygenius dot com. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.360 We have the excellent Chris Rufo joining us to talk 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:31.400 about his sustained operation to bring down Gavin Newsom's California 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.440 before it devours the entire country. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:35.480 Chris, are you there? 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:37.360 Yeah, I'm here. Good to be with you guys. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.320 What's so amazing. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.280 Ab What we did is when we first reached out 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.600 to you, it was a week or two ago, and 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.839 at that time it was your article in City Journal, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.679 which everyone should check out. It is Gavin Newsom's empire 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.160 of fraud. California has lost at least one hundred and 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.000 eighty billion dollars to fraud, according to officials and experts. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.360 We'll get to that in just a second. But just 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.720 in the last few days, you got another story which 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:06.520 went incredibly viral and deservedly so, which is that California 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.760 is I don't even in a sense, I don't know 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.320 why this is a news story because I think Kamala 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.680 Harris basically ran on this as her platform in twenty 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.800 twenty four. But California is giving free sex change procedures 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:24.040 to homeless illegal aliens. Your team went into the streets 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.720 and you found the people who are getting free taxpayer 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:31.960 funded hormones, breast implants, sex change operations. Chris tell us 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:32.520 more about it. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:33.560 Yeah, that's right. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.880 And so if you look in California's medical documents, it 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.040 says very clearly that they provide healthcare to illegal aliens 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.160 and also that they provide gender affirming care, which is 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.120 a euphemism for sex change procedures. But we went a 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.440 little bit deeper and wanted to figure out where these 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.840 things intersect. So we visited a number of homeless shelters 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.439 in San Francisco, and outside of each one there were 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:03.280 groups of transmigrants, mostly from Honduras and Mexico, who told 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.800 us very clearly, we came into the United States and 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.400 many cases crossed the border illegally because we knew that 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.720 if we made it to San Francisco that Gavin Newsom 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.760 would give us free sex change, hormones, free shelter, free food, 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.280 free gender surgeries. And so it was kind of one 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.760 of those moments where you're like blown away because it 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.520 seems like a right wing fever dream. But in the 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.600 streets of California, on the ground, first hand sources. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.600 They tell you as if it were just another Tuesday. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.720 So even if this was costing ten dollars, it would 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:36.920 be manifestly insane. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.720 But what's the expense on some of these operations. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.760 How much does it cost to give one of these 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:46.640 illegal migrants breast implants or to lop it off as 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:47.160 it were. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.720 Well, what's really interesting is the total cost. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.400 So some of the more complex genital surgeries can cost 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.400 half a million dollars. But what happens when you go 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.760 through all of these surgical procedures you start taking the hormones. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.000 You become a lifelong ward of the transgender medical system. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.880 So you have to go back month after month after 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.120 month for your entire life to receive all of these 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.480 follow up treatments, and so the cost can easily balloon 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.520 into seven figures. This is a million dollar, multimillion dollar 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:22.600 lifetime medical process. And so you know why doctors like 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.720 to do it, because they have a lifetime patient. You 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.720 know why Gavin Newsom likes to do it because he 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.680 gets a pat on the head from all of the 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.400 left wing activists that are living in his state and 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.760 living across the country. But what's mind boggling is that 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.680 California voters also seem to support these policies. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.440 It costs them money. It's barbaric. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.840 I think we'll look back in fifty or one hundred 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.560 years and this will be just like some of those 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.720 horrific medical experiments of the past. It will be something 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.440 that is recognized as a form of barbarism. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.520 I think you're absolutely right, and I think that's the 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.320 point very much worth emphasizing. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:58.720 These are not one off surgeries. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.040 There's stuff people aren't even maybe familiar with that they'll get, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.240 like male to females, they'll get their Adams apple shaved 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.640 down because that's male prominent. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.440 You'll shave down their cheekbone, have a softer. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.920 You know, we're all gentlemen here, at least I suspect 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.120 we are the and and sometimes we use euphemisms to 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.560 talk about how disgusting this stuff is. But if you 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.840 are a male to female transition er, uh, then I 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.000 I mean they're literally boring a hole in your pelvis, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.520 and that hole wants to heal. And this is what 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.080 you're talking about. You become a lifelong ward of this, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.320 of the state, or of the medical industrial complex here, 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.040 and you have to receive treatments over your life to 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:45.600 ensure that this stays. Like this opening is barbaric. It's 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.640 extraordinarily barbaric. And to think that California would would do 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.080 this to its own taxpayers and the taxpayers would somehow 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.120 go along with this as if it was compassionate. I mean, 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.680 do we have polling on this, Chris in the state 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:58.400 of California. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.920 Yeah, it really depends how you phrase it. And so 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.240 if you phrase it like the left likes to do 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.960 as life saving, gender affirming care, it pulls fairly well. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:08.640 But if you actually explain to. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.440 People the kind of physical mechanics of what this is, 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.160 and Andrew, your point is really a good one. You know, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.680 we talked with one of these migrants, transmigrants from Mexico 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.800 who said he got free breast implants for medical and 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.240 he was now on the wait list for bottom surgery, 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.040 which is another one of those euphemisms as you're talking about, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.880 which is essentially castrating an adult male and using that 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:35.120 penile tissue to create an artificial vagina. I mean, this 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:41.320 is doctor Frankenstein. This is barbarism. And again if you 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.840 explain that to people, the popularity plummets. Even in a 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.800 left wing state like California, people just are are they 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.920 don't want this. When you tell them the truth, they recoil. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.080 And so that's why it's important, as you guys have 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.840 done on the show, and as Charlie did over and over, 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.360 to just give people the straight even if it's a 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:02.479 little bit uncomfortable. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.760 Yeah, Chris, I just want to pause because I know 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.960 Blake's an avid reader and I'm such a huge fan 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.960 as well of the work that you guys are doing 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:11.880 at City Journal Manhattan Institute. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.360 You guys have some of the most incredible reporting. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.520 I mean, the Minneapolis stuff was from I believe you 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.320 and your colleague Ryan tell me his name. 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.280 I want to give him a shout out. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:22.560 Thorpe. 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.439 Thorpe, Ryan Thorpe. He came on the show and talk. 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.760 I mean, but like, these stories are huge, they're shocking. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.600 You guys do really good research. I mean, it's it's 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.640 it really is the investigative journalism answer to so much 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.400 of the apparatus that's set up on the other side 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.520 of the aisle. And so I just want to give 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.840 you guys a big hat tip and a shout out there. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.880 And we do have a clip here that I was oh, 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.840 of course, Yeah, this is just a show that you 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.840 guys did your field work here Sat nine. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.520 And nakatans one man. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.600 Yeah, I don't I feel say. 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.320 Were you able to get the hormones or you know, yeah. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.400 I did that with my BILTA. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:02.399 So medical you've got the bresident plench, yes, wow, taxpayer 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:06.520 funded so here in California, they gave you the breast 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.280 implant here, Yes, free. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:09.760 Yeah. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.880 Wow, congratulations.

And it's 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.360 really important, and it's really important to go out onto 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.600 the ground, talk to people, get the real story. And 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.320 I appreciate all that you guys have done to kind 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.840 of boost these stories that we're doing. And the formula 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.760 that we've developed is pretty simple. We have now a 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.960 growing team of investigative reporters and we put in the work. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:01.440 I mean, we have reporters. 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.280 Spending a month, sometimes two months just on a single story. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.239 We're not a content mill trying to generate, you know, 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.520 a million links a day, but we really want those 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:15.959 stories that peel back the kind of onion of progressive 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.360 governance in this case in California to reveal what's happening 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:20.119 beneath the surface. 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.920 Yeah, I really love I want to flag this because 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.760 Gavin Newsom's government has tried to dispute the fraud claims, 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.399 which we'll get to in the next segment, but they 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.040 have in fact doubled. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.520 Down on this transsurgery thing. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.880
