1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: The BMB has posted a new policy. They did that 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: over the weekend. They will no longer allow people to 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: change the gender marker, which is the gender shown on 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: their driver's license or state ID, even with a court 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: order or a doctor's note. 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: Previously, you could update. 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: Your gender on the Indiana credentials using a core order 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: or something from a physicians statement, but not anymore. And 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: the new rule went into effect after the administrative rules 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: process that included two public hearings. 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, this was part of one of Mike Braun's executive 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: orders that he signed after he came into office last year, 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: which directed state agencies, which all agencies, So this goes 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: beyond just the BMV to implement policies based on biological 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 2: sex as assigned at birth. And this law takes effect 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: or this rule takes effect this Thursday, so that's when 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: this is going to officially be part of that. And 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: I think that, you know, most of us will look 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: at this and say, well, yeah, that's common sense. I 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: didn't realize. I didn't even know that you could change 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: your sex that was listed on your driver's license up 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: until this executive order came out, and we were talking 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: about it because it was in the news, but I 24 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: think it makes a lot of sense. I think frustrates 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: most Americans and certainly most Hoosiers out there is it's 26 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: the whole concept of gender dysphoria, or gender being a 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: fluid situation, or gender being a social construct construct is 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: just absolutely foreign to most Americans. You were either born 29 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: with lady parts when you were born, or you were 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: born with man parts when you were born. And the 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: concept that gender is a social construct. Just because you 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: say those words doesn't mean it's true. I'm looking at 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: my driver's license right now, so it's got my name 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: on there, and it's got my address. My address isn't 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: a social construct. I live in Indianapolis. If I just 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: want to walk into the BMV and show no proof 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: that now all of a sudden, I live in Hamilton County, 38 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: I can't do that. I live in Indianapolis, but I 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: identify as living in Hamilton County. The other thing on 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: here is my birthday and my age ages into social construct. 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: It's a firm data point. I know exactly when I 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: was born and therefore how old I am. So if 43 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: we can say gender is a social construct, then why 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: can't we say that age is a social construct, because 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: if it is I identify as a sixty seven year old, 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: which means I can take full retirement from Social Security, 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't that be convened if we just say things and 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're true. Gender is a social construct. 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: Fine age is a social construct. I'm playing social security 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 2: today even though I'm fifty one years old. 51 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Indiana, And for some clear biological binary definitions of 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: sex for state IDs, and that is in line with 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: the governor's direction, and that means that state documents will 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: reflect physical realities rather than evolving ideology. Critics are saying 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: that it's harsh, but state rules on official credentials shouldn't 56 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: be driven by ideology, just clear, consistent standards for identification. Now, 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: if you ask the governor of Content, he's got a 58 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: whole different idea on this Democrat compared to the governor 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: of Indiana, and he's okay with just identifying with whatever 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: you want and uses the Bible for his argument. 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: But we rarely talk about the why people want to 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: know what drives us, especially in a world with social 63 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: media where everyone's looking for the next authentic thing. For me, 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: that's my faith. Most of the decisions I make are 65 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: based on that Golden rule that says we love our 66 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: neighbor as ourself, and that parable the good Samaritan that 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: says everyone is our neighbor. And so when I've taken 68 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: actions like vetoing the nastiest piece of anti LGBTQ legislation 69 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: that ever came through my state, I described in those terms. 70 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: I said, my faith teaches me that all children are 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: children of God, and I didn't want people picking on 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: those kids. 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So here's a guy who I believe is going 74 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: to try and run for president. 75 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: Somebody's running for president. 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: Well, he continue with that message as he gets closer. 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: I think he's you know, Governor Bashard from Kentucky. He 78 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: has stars in his eyes right now because he's a Democrat. 79 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: Kentucky is a pretty darn red state. He has been 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: fairly popular. I mean, his approval ratings are like sixty 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: five percent in Kentucky. And I think my guess is 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: that he thinks that he can then, oh, translate that 83 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: I'm a Democrat, but the Republicans love me. I'm a 84 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: perfect guy to run for president of the United States. 85 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Now he has a governor's race that he needs to 86 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: run for that's up in twenty twenty seven, before he 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: can even talk about running for president in twenty twenty eight. 88 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: But he is injecting himself into national topics and national 89 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: news because he can get that coverage by doing that, 90 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: And I think we're going to continue to see more 91 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: of this from the Democrat governor of Kentucky. 92 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: He goes on to say that he wants Donald Trump 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: to withdraw ICE agents from every city in the United States. 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: Well, every ICE agent should be withdrawn from every city 95 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: and every community that they're in. 96 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Oh, Okay. This is the same guy who was trying 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: to have people arrested on Easter Sunday back in twenty twenty, right. 98 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: Because they were trying to attend church when there were 99 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 2: draconian COVID lockdowns all over the place. Yeah, that's the 100 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: kind of thing that's going to be a big problem 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: for him if he tries to run for president in 102 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, because everything he's done in his political 103 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: past and all the insanity. I'm sure there are plenty 104 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: of other examples out there. He's a Democrat, He's done 105 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: some crazy things, had some crazy positions and closing churches 106 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: during COVID lockdowns is not going to go over well 107 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: in a twenty twenty eight presidential election. 108 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: So on one side, he says that ICE is intrusive 109 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: to civil liberties, but on the other he wants to 110 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: arrest you for going to church. Yeah, trying to have 111 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: it both ways, and it. 112 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: Comes off as a little disingenuous when a governor of 113 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: a state starts talking about the way other states should 114 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: be doing things. Because he talked about that, he says, 115 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: I want Donald Trump to remove ICE agents out of 116 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: every city in the country. Now, how about you focus 117 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: on content. You got your own problems there. You got 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: your own social service problems, you got your own infrastructure 119 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: and education issues. You've got a cost of living issue 120 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: going on there. Kentucky has been one of the hotbeds 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: for the opioid crisis and addiction crisis. Kentucky's got a 122 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: lot of problems. Governor, I'd concentrate on focusing on your 123 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: state and maybe fixing some of those problems before you 124 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: start running your mouth about what other states and what 125 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: other cities should be doing.
