S1: Hi friend, thanks so much for downloading this broadcast and
S1: it is my hope that you'll hear something that will
S1: challenge you, grow you up in him, and get you
S1: out into the marketplace of ideas. But before you start listening,
S1: let me take a moment and tell you what this
S1: month's truth tool is. It's the Mediterranean Sea Rules by
S1: Robert Morgan. I talked to him often on the air
S1: because he's such a superb writer, and in this particular book,
S1: he takes the story of Paul's shipwreck, recorded in the
S1: book of acts, and gives us ten principles of how
S1: we push through the storm, learning to trust in God
S1: and all that he has done for us. It's a
S1: magnificent book. It's a short book, and in typical Robert
S1: Morgan writing style, it is a powerful book. I strongly
S1: recommend that you have a copy of The Mediterranean Sea Rules,
S1: because trust me, every single one of us will find
S1: ourselves on stormy seas at some point in our voyage
S1: through life. As for your copy of the Mediterranean Sea
S1: Rules by calling 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58.
S1: Or go online to. In the market with Janet Parshall.
S1: Scroll to the bottom of the page. There's the book.
S1: Click it on, make Your Gift and we'll send you
S1: a copy. My way of saying thank you because we
S1: are listener supported. Radio. Your gifts keep this broadcast on
S1: the air. By the way, if you'd like to give regularly,
S1: you're called a partial partner. You give every single month
S1: a level of your own choosing. You always get the
S1: truth tool. But in addition, I'll send out a weekly
S1: newsletter that only my partial partners get. It contains my
S1: writing and a little audio piece as well. So pray
S1: about it and thanks in advance. Just call eight 7758
S1: or online at in the Market with Janet Parshall. Again
S1: the truth tool the Mediterranean Sea rules. Thanks so much.
S1: And now please enjoy the broadcast.
S2: Here are some of the news headlines we're watching.
S3: The conference was over. The president won a pledge.
S4: Americans worshiping government over God.
S5: Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years.
S4: The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated.
S5: Every idea is not. Hi, friends.
S1: Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. A very
S1: happy Friday to you. This is in the market with
S1: Janet and Craig Parshall as it is on Fridays. Mr.
S1: Craig Parshall joins us because, well, he's got a whole
S1: lot between those two ears of his. First of all,
S1: he's a wonderful attorney. He's been studying the law, applying
S1: the law, defending the law, applying the law for decades.
S1: But the best part of all of that is he
S1: loves the law giver himself even more, and he is
S1: a man of the word. He plumbs deep into the word,
S1: and he knows how to apply the whole truth of
S1: the whole gospel to the whole world around us. So
S1: he's a pretty good fit on Friday, because that's basically
S1: exactly what we do. We take a look at stories,
S1: making headlines, and then we apply the straight stick of truth.
S1: Dwight Moody said that brilliant word picture he called the
S1: Word of God the straight stick of truth. And if
S1: you know anything about carpentry, you always have to have
S1: a straight stick, right? Measure twice, cut once. And you
S1: need a metric. You need a plumb line so that
S1: you can measure the crooked ideas out there. And the
S1: Bible tells us that the world is filled with vain
S1: and hollow philosophies, which is a pretty good working definition
S1: of what a crooked idea is. So what we do
S1: on Fridays is we take a look at some of
S1: the ideas out there, and by applying the Word of
S1: God to it, you and I get to determine whether
S1: it is in fact straight or crooked. And that's what
S1: we do. We go pretty fast. Keep your hands inside
S1: the ride at all times, but we're going to take
S1: a look at a whole bunch of issues, and we're
S1: going to start with Israel. Why not? If you've been
S1: paying attention to some graduation speakers this week, oh boy,
S1: this is their 15 seconds of fame where they can
S1: get up and berate Israel, promulgate lies, and speak about
S1: a pro-Palestinian era ahead, and continue to chant from the
S1: river to the sea. Free, free Palestine, which is a
S1: nice little rhythmic nothingness, meaning except ideas have consequences. And
S1: in fact, when you start looking at it, we should
S1: point out the fact that the United Nations General Assembly
S1: is trying to push now the implementation of a two
S1: state solution, and that's something very important. The two state
S1: solution due to be held in New York on June
S1: 17th through the 20th. So that's right around the corner.
S1: So because we subscribe to the truth, the whole truth
S1: and nothing but the truth, because we follow one whose
S1: name is light, we're going to shine a little light
S1: on what's going on out there. So in the meantime,
S1: while all of these paid protesters are out there promulgating,
S1: that's a lot of P's for alliteration. If you're following
S1: this idea of a pro-Palestinian state, the genocide, the genocide
S1: is being committed by Israel and that Palestine or the
S1: Palestinian people are being, uh, horribly treated by the Israeli people. Well,
S1: how about asking whether or not the leadership in the
S1: Palestinian area, Gaza in particular, is willing to work for
S1: a cease fire? Now, remember, they're not a government, they're
S1: not a state, they're not a country. They are a
S1: group of people being held hostage by terrorists. And it's
S1: important that you understand that, that Palestinian people are suffering
S1: terribly if you're on the X at all, and I'm
S1: on there all the time. It's very interesting to watch
S1: video that's being sent out, probably at the risk of
S1: the person doing the sending, by the way, that's thanking America,
S1: thanking President Trump, thanking them for the aid that's getting through.
S1: And at the same time, you see an equal measure
S1: of video taken under cover of the terrorists keeping the
S1: aid from the people. So is it really Israel that's
S1: doing this or is it the terrorist in Hamas? So
S1: here's the latest news from Hamas as you're chanting free,
S1: free Palestine. Hamas doesn't want freedom at all for Palestine.
S1: They want to use it as a wedge against Israel. Well,
S1: in the latest cease fire plan that's been put on
S1: the table, surprise Hamas has again rejected. Here's more from
S1: CBN's Chris Mitchell.
S6: Israeli troops push further into northern Gaza, warning civilians to
S6: get out of harm's way U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff ceasefire
S6: and hostage deal would reportedly lead to Hamas freeing ten
S6: of the remaining living hostages in the first week of
S6: the 60 day ceasefire. In exchange, Israel would free more
S6: than 1000 Palestinian prisoners. A major sticking point Hamas wants
S6: guarantees Israel won't return to fighting after the cease fire.
S6: But Israel's prime minister says he wants the fighting to
S6: resume and continue until Hamas is eliminated in Gaza. Meanwhile,
S6: the Israeli government has made an historic decision to approve
S6: 22 new communities in the biblical heartland of the Jewish
S6: nation Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.
S6: This will help block Palestinians from forming a state in
S6: this area. And according to Defense Minister Israel Katz, it
S6: also provides a buffer for the nation's security. As he
S6: put it, Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria serves as
S6: a vital security barrier for Israel's major population centers. We
S6: must do everything in our power to expand and reinforce
S6: this protective shield. It was the first volley in the
S6: government's effort to head off another unilateral move for a
S6: Palestinian state by some Western powers, including France, next month,
S6: France's president at a summit in New York City, will
S6: push for most of the world to altogether recognize a
S6: Palestinian state. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned that such
S6: a declaration would reward the Hamas terrorists who committed the
S6: October 7th atrocities. He added unilateral moves against Israel will
S6: be met with unilateral Israeli measures.
S7: We will not get any dictates from outside with regard
S7: to our national security.
S6: This fits with the Foreign Minister's statements this week that
S6: if outside nations push to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state
S6: in Judea and Samaria. Israel will respond by declaring sovereignty
S6: over more and more of the area. Chris Mitchell CBN news, Jerusalem.
S1: So let me go to this push at the United
S1: Nations for the so-called two state solution. My $0.02. This
S1: is an opinion I wouldn't give you a nickel for
S1: the United Nations. They've long outlived their usefulness. And there's
S1: a huge solid Muslim bloc that continues to foment animosity
S1: against the nation of Israel. As regards this conference coming
S1: up June 17th through the 20th, it's being chaired by
S1: Saudi Arabia and France, by the way. And according to
S1: the two co-chairs, the aim of the conference is and
S1: I'm quoting now to help end the occupation and materialize
S1: the independent and sovereign state of Palestine. So this push
S1: for Palestinian statehood is absolutely, unquestionably one sided, unrealistic. Untimely, dangerous.
S1: A majority of UN state members, primarily the Islamic, Arab
S1: and African groups, carefully orchestrated the United Nations General Assembly
S1: resolutions calling for this conference. So it's a deliberate attempt
S1: to further undermine the legal rights and security needs of
S1: the Jewish state. The United States may vote against it.
S1: We'll see whether or not this gets passed. But then
S1: that raises the specter of all kinds of questions. If
S1: you're going to call for a nation where the boundaries
S1: of that nation and if you draw the boundaries inside
S1: the sovereign nation of Israel, is this the United Nations
S1: now declaring war on Israel? Got a lot to think
S1: and pray about back after this. Life. Storms can make
S1: us feel shipwrecked and lost. But there's wisdom in scriptures.
S1: Most dramatic sea voyage in Mediterranean Sea Rules Robert Morgan
S1: reveals powerful principles from Paul's shipwreck in the Book of Acts.
S1: Ten biblical rules that will equip you to navigate life's
S1: toughest waters with confidence and courage. As for your copy
S1: of The Mediterranean Sea Rules, when you give a gift
S1: of any amount to in the market, call 877. Janet 58.
S1: That's 877 Janet 58. Or go to In the market
S1: with Janet Parshall. And speaking of our truth tool, I
S1: cannot believe that the month of May is almost over.
S1: And I want to tell you that you've got today
S1: and tomorrow and that's it then. This month's truth tool,
S1: The Mediterranean Sea Rules by Robert Morgan, goes back on
S1: the bookshelf and it becomes part of the history of
S1: our truth tools for this program. Now, Robert is a
S1: superb author, and so many of you who have gotten
S1: his books concur with me. I know he loves the word.
S1: He's a fabulous preacher of the word. He loves history,
S1: he loves music, and he puts stories together like no
S1: one I've ever heard. But then he applies it to
S1: the Word of God. So this is really the third
S1: of his rules book. He had the Red sea rules.
S1: He had the Jordan River rules. Now he's got the
S1: Mediterranean Sea rules. And every one of them focuses on
S1: one part of Scripture and how we apply it to
S1: the journey of our pilgrimage as a follower of Jesus Christ.
S1: So obviously in the Red sea rules. You can see
S1: you've got the enemy at the back. You've got challenges
S1: in the front. How do you push forward then? The
S1: Jordan River is you're about to step into a new experience.
S1: Is God going to meet you there? Is. God got
S1: ahead to prepare you and get you ready for that
S1: new experience. The Mediterranean Sea Rules focuses in on acts
S1: 27 and 28, which is Paul's shipwreck, and it teaches us, hey,
S1: every single one of us, we're going to have storms
S1: in our life. How do we get safely through the storms?
S1: By trusting the captain of our ship. It is a
S1: fabulous book. Anything Robert Morgan writes is excellent, and it's
S1: yours for a gift of any amount because we're listener
S1: supported radio. So just call 8778877 Janet 58. Give a
S1: gift of any amount. We're going to send you the
S1: Mediterranean Sea rules as a way of saying thank you.
S1: You can also give online at In the Market with
S1: Janet Parshall. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click
S1: on the cover of the book, make your donation and
S1: likewise we'll send it to you. While you're there, you
S1: might want to consider becoming a partial partner now. Yesterday.
S1: Thursdays are always big days because that's the day my
S1: partial partner gets our weekly newsletter, which includes writing by
S1: me and an audio piece. Only my partial partners get
S1: that and they always get the truth tool. So that's
S1: my way of saying thank you. When you decide to
S1: give every single month a level again at your own choosing.
S1: But it's this constant financial support for the program that's
S1: so very much appreciated. So 877 Janet. 58 877 Janet
S1: 58 or online at in the market with Janet Parshall. Okay. Craig,
S1: today we're closing arguments in federal court on a case
S1: called us versus Google. Tell me all about it.
S8: Federal court has already ruled that Google has maintained an
S8: illegal monopoly. Now, for a lot of us, we think, okay, well,
S8: that's sort of interesting, but what's the big deal? Well,
S8: the big deal is this Google is the number one, uh,
S8: controller of information and data on the entire internet. In
S8: other words, out of all the companies and all the
S8: apps and all the devices and all the computers that
S8: all of us use all the time. Google controls more
S8: information that we put in and that we receive than
S8: any company on the face of the Earth. As a
S8: matter of fact, the Federal Court found that Google has
S8: nine times as much data of you, Janet and I,
S8: and everybody else who has ever searched on that search
S8: option that Google has. And by the way, 90% of
S8: the human race prefers Google over its competitors because, quite frankly,
S8: it is simply better because it has more data and
S8: more information to give us. So when we search about, uh,
S8: some historical fact, uh, Google's got better data than everybody else.
S8: So what's the big problem with that? The big problem
S8: is that it is also engaged in a race for
S8: artificial intelligence. And they use our data to train artificial
S8: intelligence to then get smarter so that I can help
S8: Google to control what we see. What we don't see.
S8: And perhaps to manipulate everything from our choices on clothing
S8: or the next car we ought to buy, or how
S8: we ought to vote in the next election. That's a
S8: lot of power in the hands of one company that wants,
S8: according to its origination. At the very beginning, the founders
S8: of Google said they wanted to control the world's information.
S8: I have a problem with that. If it's a monopoly,
S8: because that means, uh, competitors may not apply.
S1: So why did The New York Times run the headline,
S1: The Judge's data dilemma in the Google search case?
S8: Well, because right now they have to decide what they
S8: do about this in the first part of the case.
S8: By the way, this is not unusual in these big
S8: monopoly antitrust cases. American antitrust law has been around since
S8: the late 1800s. It simply says you cannot maintain an
S8: illegal monopoly in the commercial sphere, particularly if it harms
S8: consumer Suber, welfare prices, quality of services and elements like that.
S8: So in order to have a free enterprise that's functioning
S8: in a free market, you also have to have some
S8: boundaries to that free market. So that one monopoly doesn't
S8: rule the entire market. It's one thing when you're talking about,
S8: let's say, a monopoly in refrigerators, which are important to
S8: all of us, but information is 100 times more important
S8: than that for a myriad of obvious reasons. So in
S8: the first part of the case, they found whether or
S8: not Google was an illegal monopoly in violation of the law.
S8: And that's what the judge found. And I read his decision.
S8: It is quite lengthy, it is very well documented, and
S8: the evidence seems to be very strong. But now the
S8: question is, how do we handle this? How do we
S8: restore competition in the search function of Google running the world?
S8: And that's where the court has a dilemma, because there
S8: is really no nice remedy for the problem that of
S8: Google's monopoly control of information and search there simply isn't,
S8: because the AI race is going so fast that anything
S8: this judge decides will probably be obsolete in a year
S8: or two.
S1: Nobody's called any of these monsters of Silicon Valley a
S1: monopoly yet, so until they're called one legally and identified
S1: as such. Isn't this just sound and fury signifying nothing?
S8: Well, they have been determined to be a. Google has
S8: an illegal monopoly in that federal judge. In this case,
S8: meta is also being sued, and they're in court right now. Meta,
S8: of course, used to go by the name of Facebook. Now,
S8: meta is the general corporate name for that gigantic company
S8: that runs Facebook, Instagram, messenger, WhatsApp, um, and of course,
S8: they're also pursuing, uh, artificial intelligence of their own. So
S8: they're also being charged with an illegal monopoly. There are
S8: only a handful of these giant tech companies in Silicon
S8: Valley that basically run the internet, and a couple of
S8: them have already been charged with illegal monopolization. The question is,
S8: what do we do about it? And that's the dilemma
S8: this court faces.
S5: This is in the market.
S1: With Janet Parshall. Don't forget again, our truths tool expires
S1: midnight on Saturday. If you don't have your copy of
S1: the Mediterranean Sea Rules 877 Janet, 58 or online at
S1: in the market with Janet parshall.org. We turn the page
S1: another topic right after this. It's always take two. We
S1: always like to take a look at AI and what's
S1: going on in the world of tech. And it's a
S1: great segue out of the story about this case regarding Google.
S1: And it is talking about the weight that AI is
S1: bringing to bear on our culture, not just nationally but globally.
S1: And if you watch any of those thumbnails that pop
S1: up when you're surfing YouTube, for example, there is so
S1: much information out there about the quantum leaps forward that
S1: they're making with AI. Quite frankly, a lot of it
S1: is very unsettling. And you'll notice the wicked manipulation of language.
S1: Buyer beware on this to call a robot a humanoid. What,
S1: because it looks like a human? Because you decided to
S1: strap on appendages to it. So you're going to pretend
S1: it's a human to give it a name. A female name, uh,
S1: to make it look like a dog. All of these
S1: things to try to speak. The fact that these are
S1: sentient beings, they're not. They are machines made by a
S1: human being. So now you go to Nvidia, the big
S1: player in this arena. They say it's largest general purpose
S1: robot can now teach a humanoid machine using software entirely,
S1: bypassing the months of motion caption sessions most rivals still
S1: depend on. So the chipmaker unveiled something they called Groot Dreams. No,
S1: you can't make that up. Hello, Galaxy, at this Computex
S1: trade show. It took place last week in Taipei, and
S1: they're pitching it as a shortcut that turns a single
S1: photo into a short simulation video. And from there, into
S1: the step by step instruction instructions, a robot needs to move.
S1: In effect, engineers feed the robot. And this is their words,
S1: not mine. This goes to my issue about manipulation of
S1: language a quote dream reel instead of hours of recorded
S1: factory walks cutting down developmental tile and costs. So, according
S1: to the CEO in Nvidia, who sent out a press release,
S1: physical AI and robotics will bring about the next industrial revolution.
S1: Pulling out of the story, let me stop and say
S1: and will cost millions of people their jobs. But you see,
S1: the CEO of Nvidia is interested in lining his pockets.
S1: Doesn't really care if the advancement of this technology takes
S1: someone off an assembly line where he's no longer able
S1: to put bread on his table. Back to the press release.
S1: From the I brains for robots to simulated worlds to
S1: practice in or AI supercomputers for training foundation models, Nvidia
S1: provides building blocks for every stage of robotic development journey.
S1: Sounds like a come on for a company, right? Buy
S1: from us. We'll make you your robot. Nvidia's research team
S1: claims the approach is already trimmed, training its previous Groot
S1: models to 36 hours. Work that previously took three months
S1: of live motion capture and annotation. The company generates the
S1: footage inside its Omniverse and Cosmos simulator. It's the language here,
S1: then runs the best trajectories through Cosmos Reason, which is
S1: an AI filter that apparently tosses out awkward or impossible
S1: moves before they ever reach a motor. In short, the
S1: robot watches thousands of ultra realistic practice rounds that only
S1: exist on a server, learns what succeeds, and steps onto
S1: the factory floor already knowing not not know you. It
S1: really doesn't know, does it? Reason? Does it use discernment?
S1: Does it use higher level thinking skills? Is it critically
S1: thinking quote learning okay. Exactly how they're supposed to be
S1: able to do this. So uh, apparently again, uh, they're
S1: saying this is an Nvidia talking. They're saying it's really
S1: good because the age of generalist robotics has arrived with
S1: breakthroughs in mechatronics, physical AI, and embedded computing just in
S1: time as labor shortages limit worldwide industrial growth, labor shortages.
S1: I thought people were out looking for jobs. Wow. So again,
S1: a spokesperson for Nvidia said a major challenge for robot
S1: makers is the lack of large scale, real and synthetic
S1: data to train models. Human demonstrations aren't scalable, limited by
S1: the numbers of hours in the day. There's more to
S1: the story. Craig. Your thoughts so far?
S8: Well, look, the proponents of I everything, everywhere for everybody,
S8: which is really the goal. Uh, and there's an excitement in,
S8: you know, these, uh, computer engineers who are developing this
S8: because obviously, um, it's, uh, a way of doing two
S8: things very well, doing things faster than humans can in
S8: terms of calculating, uh, calculating functions. And number two, uh,
S8: in addition to speed, they can handle huge amounts of
S8: data in that shorter period of time. So it's like
S8: an adding machine. Uh, then suddenly we have handheld devices that, uh,
S8: help us to add or subtract quicker. And then we
S8: have computers that are even faster and handle more data
S8: than the previous iterations of technology. And that's all wonderful,
S8: but there's no dreaming going on here. They use words
S8: that give us the impression those of us who are
S8: not part of the technological elite that use the kind
S8: of language that they use, who understand what algorithms are
S8: and what, uh, certain, uh, cyber, uh, architecture really is.
S8: Those are things that the average person like you and I,
S8: we don't understand. So they use that language, and then
S8: they want to translate it in appealing ways to the
S8: rest of us. So they use words like, these machines
S8: can dream. No, they really can't. What they're doing is
S8: finding a more concise way to train these machines, that
S8: is to say, to set up some coding, some programs
S8: for it to do what it does faster and better
S8: and figure out problem solving. But all of this is
S8: because a human being has inputted this data, has created
S8: an algorithm, a computer code, to be able to make
S8: all of this work inside the machine. There's no thinking,
S8: there's no dreaming going on. Um, and certainly there's no
S8: human cognition or consciousness going on. They'd like you to
S8: think so, because their master plan is to, well, basically
S8: mechanize everything through robotics, through artificial intelligence. And the one
S8: industry that they say will not be impacted, interestingly and ironically,
S8: is the computer engineers operating this.
S1: Yeah, right. Self-preservation. By the way, you drop this contextually
S1: into the issue of geopolitics. How many times have we
S1: talked with Bill gates about China's declaration that as soon
S1: as 2027, they're going to take over Taiwan? Nvidia is
S1: going to be a very interesting part to play in
S1: all of that. When China says we're taking over the world,
S1: so are they going to use this technology back after this?
S1: How often do you tune into in the market? Once,
S1: twice a week? Every day. If this program is valuable
S1: to you, why not become a partial partner. Your financial
S1: support is invaluable as we apply God's Word to current
S1: events and modern culture. Knowing we can count on your
S1: monthly gift encourages us to deliver relevant and up to
S1: date content every day. Become a partial partner today by
S1: calling 877 Janet, 58, or go online to in the
S1: market with Janet Parshall.
S5: So let's turn our attention.
S1: To the insanity that's taken up residency here in the
S1: United States, where somewhere along the line we decided that
S1: a man isn't a man, but a woman isn't a woman.
S1: And basically, you can decide to be anything you want.
S1: And if you live in New York State, apparently you
S1: have over 92 options to choose from. And I'm sure
S1: that list is growing as we speak. But here's the
S1: reality you are born a male or you are born
S1: a female. Put aside the birth anomalies there. That is
S1: not someone choosing at all. That's genetic coding that took
S1: place in utero. So we're talking about being born a man,
S1: being born a woman. But rather than viewing this as
S1: the mental illness that it is. Rather than looking at
S1: the person who's struggling on how they're trying to identify themselves.
S1: In fact, if you have to self-identify, that's your first
S1: red flag, that there's a problem. Identity is pretty self-evident.
S1: Just look in the bathroom mirror. But now what we've
S1: got are people who are making demands, demanding civil rights.
S1: You've got the back of that sail wind that blows forward,
S1: saying that this is a quote, an immutable, which means
S1: unchangeable in the law characteristic. It is not. It does
S1: not get protected class status. Although there are states in
S1: this country right now who are trying to act like
S1: they have somehow special rights. So the reality is that
S1: in the process of moving for special rights, this entire
S1: trans ideology, and that's what it is, it is not
S1: a medical diagnosis. It is an ideology. It is hurting
S1: girls sports. Now, I think this is a hugely important issue.
S1: Over 50 years ago, title nine was passed, added to
S1: that panoply of protections. We've got that basically said girls
S1: should have a level playing field just like a boy
S1: when it comes to sports, and we honored and protected that.
S1: And as a result, several girls went on to get
S1: scholarship money, had the thrill of having their character molded
S1: and shaped through athletics by competing with other girls, learned
S1: what it meant to be a team member, learned what
S1: playing fair and good sportsmanship was all about. And there
S1: isn't a person who got a girl who got involved
S1: in sports who can't say that wasn't beneficial to me. Well,
S1: now the tables have been flipped, and now we've got
S1: men who are cheating, who have decided that they're going
S1: to call themselves a girl, and now they're going to
S1: compete against girls, even though they're a boy immediately out
S1: of the gate, they have a biological advantage. Their heart
S1: is larger, their lungs are bigger, their muscles are stronger,
S1: their bones are denser. Um, there there are. Despite the
S1: people who have put on blinders and pretended that they would, quote,
S1: do what's right in their own eyes. There are biological distinctions,
S1: and it is why all of these times that there's
S1: a trans. Do you know any new stories so far
S1: where the trans has come in second or third place,
S1: the trans always wins, right? Because the trans is a
S1: man competing against girls. I give you what's going on
S1: at La Canada High School in California. There's a young
S1: woman there by the name of Katie McGuinness and she
S1: wants to win. CIF. Now CIF is the California Interscholastic Federation.
S1: It's the governing body for high school sports in California.
S1: And it includes both public and private schools. So Katie,
S1: very much, by the way, wants to compete and wants
S1: to win in the long jump. Katie got on national
S1: TV recently and she had this to say.
S9: It's really such an honor to be here. And I
S9: also just want to preface by saying I have nothing
S9: against this athlete as a person, and I have nothing
S9: against the trans community. My message today is really, um,
S9: specifically to CIF and for them to act quickly and
S9: in a timely manner, because this is a very time
S9: sensitive issue and girls every day are losing their spot
S9: due to biological boys beating out biological girls. And to
S9: go back to your question, um, I tried to keep
S9: my focus last Saturday and kind of treat it like
S9: any other normal meet. Um. However, on my third jump,
S9: I watched AB, uh do their jump and the numbers
S9: on the screen lit up to 19ft, two inches, which
S9: was the furthest mark of that day. And I just
S9: remember thinking to myself, okay, I need to get a
S9: big jump. And so normally something typical that long jump
S9: athletes will do is they start a clapping sequence kind
S9: of to gain momentum from the crowd and kind of
S9: feel the rhythm of the jump. And um, so I
S9: did that and I ran down the runway and I
S9: landed and I watched them measure my mark. And it
S9: was 1809. And I just remember thinking that there was
S9: nothing else that I could do, that that was it.
S9: And I was honestly very discouraged. And, you know, I'm
S9: a high school senior and, um, you know, winning a
S9: CIF has always been a goal of mine. And, um,
S9: I just I wasn't able to compete with someone who
S9: is genetically different than me.
S1: Brilliant, articulate, truthful. Abby Hernandez is the fella that won.
S1: She ends up coming in second place. He jumps 19ft
S1: two inches. She jumps 18ft nine inches. Now, there are
S1: a lot of people that are speaking out about this
S1: in California, and I'm very glad one of them happens
S1: to be the mayor pro tem of that particular city. Clovis,
S1: California is the epicenter now in this political battle over
S1: trans athletes in girls sports. And so the town is
S1: set to host a track meet, uh, and they're very
S1: interested in what's going on. This track meet, by the way, uh,
S1: is supposed to take place. I think it's this weekend. Uh,
S1: and Diane Pierce is the town's mayor pro tem. She's
S1: been actively lobbying to make the administration here in Washington
S1: aware of the situation for weeks, and she got her
S1: fellow local officials involved. Here's the mayor. Have a listen.
S10: When President Trump posted his information on social media on Tuesday,
S10: that just kind of ignited everyone's interest and put a
S10: spotlight on it, which fortunately, it kind of helped galvanize
S10: people and encouraged the effort and people to show up
S10: to support girls and their spaces and supports. The attention
S10: that this has gotten has already put pressure on CIF.
S10: We already know that Governor Newsom earlier this year said
S10: that he believes that boys competing against girls is deeply unfair.
S10: So we're looking for those in those leadership roles. CIF again,
S10: the updates that they've done, these last minute adjustments they've made,
S10: all it really does is underscore the fact that they
S10: can acknowledge that biological girls have been cheated out of
S10: opportunities that they've earned. That's why they're making these adjustments
S10: to try and include more girls as qualifying and try
S10: to include more biological girls as placing in these events.
S10: So that's really the key here, is to continue to
S10: put that pressure on CIF, on our state legislature that's
S10: had opportunities to rectify the situation and chosen not to act,
S10: and to Governor Newsom to say you're the adults who
S10: have the control over this. I have I expect people
S10: to treat this athlete with compassion. I think, unfortunately, that again,
S10: the failures of the adults who set these policies have
S10: created this situation.
S1: Craig, your thoughts on this?
S8: Yeah, that last comment is very insightful. The bottom line is,
S8: if you're looking for the top and the bottom line
S8: on who's really responsible, it's the adults making policy, refusing
S8: to acknowledge the reality of the biological differences, physiological differences between, uh,
S8: female uh, sports and male sports at the high school
S8: and even in the college level. Um, it lays at
S8: their feet this responsibility. But what I find entirely bewildering
S8: is this issue now has been going on for a
S8: number of years. That is the the transgender, um, position
S8: and movement trying to force its way into sports, into
S8: business and into politics and into education. But let's take sports.
S8: Where is the feminist movement that supposedly was opposing discrimination
S8: against women when the the equality between man and woman activities,
S8: let's say, in the employment field? Uh, they the feminist
S8: movement was very vocal about the fact that females shouldn't
S8: be treated as second class citizens if they could do
S8: the same work and the same way and the same
S8: quality and under the same circumstances as men. And yet
S8: now we see a distinct discrimination against biological women by
S8: having biological men beating them in sports, where it's obvious
S8: that you're going to have a discriminatory effect on women's sports.
S8: Where are they? I'm not seeing the voices coming out. Uh,
S8: you know, the the month or year of rage from
S8: the feminists when all the rest of us can see
S8: it is blatant, uh, mistreatment and discrimination against biological females
S8: in a sport. Any sport should be based on, on
S8: fair competition, not unfair competition.
S1: Well, and the feminist voices that are speaking out are
S1: female lesbian athletes who are supporting the trans community. So
S1: they're viewing this as a sexual orientation issue. They're not
S1: viewing this as a fairness issue. But I find it
S1: interesting that you have a lot of very professional athletes. Uh,
S1: Aaron Rodgers, Tim Tebow and others have said it is
S1: absolutely unfair to have girls competing against boys, and boys
S1: shouldn't be competing against girls. So I appreciate the fact
S1: that this mayor, uh, in Clovis, California, has really come
S1: out vocally and said, look, this has got to stop. Now,
S1: what I find interesting is that there could be pushback
S1: on the federal level. Schools need money. Start with that understanding, principal.
S1: They need money. They take federal money. They'll get state
S1: money at the federal level. This is why there's so
S1: much conversation here in Washington, D.C.. It seems to me
S1: that through the Department of Education and through the Department
S1: of Justice, you could say that what the CIF, the
S1: California Interscholastic Federation might be doing is trampling on the
S1: rights of these girl athletes and litigation could in world
S1: to find out about these little local matches, but they
S1: become national headlines every time, every time it happens. And
S1: also there's a second component on the every time it happens.
S1: Somewhere in that mix is a very brave young woman
S1: who's willing to step forward and say, I will not
S1: compete against someone who's not my gender. The fencing world
S1: was changed dramatically when that female fencer took a knee
S1: and said, I respect you greatly. Sorry, this is a
S1: girl's fencing match. I will not fence against you. When
S1: Katie got up and got on national news and talked
S1: about the fact that she's not going to compete against
S1: somebody who's not the same gender, it takes someone very strong.
S1: Riley Gaines, obviously is the most famous for this, because
S1: she spoke out against Mr. Thomas beating her. And as
S1: a result of that, the stage got set. Now there's
S1: so much more to the story. I want to get
S1: some more of your take on this when we return.
S1: So this is not a small issue. This is becoming
S1: a bigger and bigger issue because the undercurrent of this,
S1: even if you're not interested in sports, is are we
S1: creating a false category of protected civil rights for people
S1: who decide one day they're trapped in the wrong body?
S1: If you're going to do that, what other civil rights
S1: are we going to apply out there back after this?
S1: So we were talking about the situation in California. But
S1: trust me, this is not localized to one state by
S1: any stretch of the imagination. Let me turn your attention
S1: to what's happening in the state of Minnesota. Here's how
S1: the Minnesota Star Tribune put it. The Champlin Park softball team,
S1: perennial bridesmaids for most of the past decade, finally scaled
S1: a hump that had grown mountainous, leaning on the right
S1: arm of lanky junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger to defeat Rogers
S1: one to zip in the class Four-a section five championship Thursday.
S1: Except one little problem Marissa is a man. And so
S1: this man, by the way. And if you want to
S1: count numbers and you're interested, if you've ever seen girls
S1: softball the fast, underhand pitch that they do, a man
S1: single handedly carried out this championship. He pitched 14 shutout
S1: innings back to back games, 14 shutout innings. And he's
S1: got long hair and a ponytail. But he's a boy.
S1: And so this really raises the specter again of cheating.
S1: Now if I were on playing for Rogers and we
S1: got bit one zip because the pitcher was a man.
S1: It's girls softball. There's a completely different form of pitching
S1: based on the physiology of girls. So this is not
S1: civil rights. This is cheating, plain and simple. And if
S1: I were the parent of that trans child, I would
S1: hang my head because I would be very aware of
S1: the fact that my son had to cheat his way
S1: into girls sports to win. I would also then get
S1: him counseling. Craig, your thoughts?
S8: Well, it isn't just a young man, uh, playing against girls.
S8: It's a six foot young man. Um, size matters when
S8: you're a pitcher in terms of the speed of that pitch,
S8: whether it's overhand or underhand. Uh, and just one more
S8: example of how sports has become politicized by the trans movement. Uh,
S8: they don't care about fairness. They don't care about fair competition, uh,
S8: or rules of equality in terms of grades. Let's say
S8: this what if you had a high school team And, uh,
S8: they're forced to play against a college team. Now, most
S8: of us would say, well, that's that's an unfair advantage.
S8: But what if you said, well, uh, we think it's
S8: appropriate for college students and high school students to test
S8: the competitive attitude and skill set of each of them.
S8: So seniors will compete against freshmen and sophomore college students.
S8: You have, uh, weight limits in wrestling for a reason.
S8: You have weight limits as well, in terms of boxing
S8: and other sports. You have guardrails to make sure that
S8: the competition is fair in a very basic, fundamental way.
S8: And yet, right now, these rules are being thrown out
S8: at a point where kids in high school and high
S8: school sports should be learning the idea of fairness, rather
S8: than seeing it betrayed in there in front of their
S8: very eyes during a competition.
S1: So the Minnesota Star Tribune ran a headline that said
S1: Minnesota softball player Sue Keith Ellison State High School League
S1: over transgender athlete policy. So apparently there's an organization called
S1: True North Legal. They're the organization that's leading the lawsuit
S1: against Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League for
S1: allowing this madness to continue. If you go now to
S1: the Minnesota Star Tribune, they have scrubbed all references to
S1: this story on their social. So, again, what's also insidious
S1: to me is the mom. This is why there's definitely
S1: mental illness in this story. So apparently this is something
S1: that Redux pointed out when Rothenberger. While Rothenberger has participated
S1: in girls sports from an early age and has never
S1: publicly stated that he identifies as transgender. Redux has obtained
S1: documents showing that his mother, Heather Rothenberger, applied to the
S1: Hennepin County District Court to alter his birth certificate shortly
S1: after his ninth birthday. So the mom was facilitating the
S1: delusion of her nine year old son. The petition was approved.
S1: This is how it works in Minnesota, folks. The petition
S1: was approved. Rothenberger was issued a new birth certificate showing
S1: that he was born female and altering his name from
S1: Charlie Dean. That's who pitched Charlie Dean to Marissa. Minnesota
S1: is one of the many states where altered birth certificates
S1: don't need to signify that the original document was altered.
S1: So there's so much in the story that's absolutely unbelievable.
S1: So I'm going to be watching with great interest to
S1: see if North True North Legal comes out victorious on this,
S1: suing the state uh, AG and also the Minnesota State
S1: High School Association because it's cheating.
S8: Birth certificates are important legal documents. You need them for
S8: a wide variety of reasons. Um, but now you're permitting.
S8: In fact, you're encouraging the falsification of information on birth
S8: certificates about the actual sexual DNA and genetics of somebody
S8: who's born. Now, how many other government documents are we?
S8: Are we going to change based on somebody's subjective idea
S8: of how they imagined themselves, as opposed to the reality
S8: of who they are?
S1: I find it troublesome that this young man, apparently, according
S1: to Redux, didn't start identifying as a transgender. So what
S1: in the world of common sense makes him think that
S1: he can put on a uniform and just go play
S1: with the girls because he feels like it?
S8: Well, you raised an important point. Facilitated by the mother and.
S1: The school.
S8: District and the school district. So at what point do
S8: you say, you know, if there are laws and there
S8: are laws in all 50 states against child neglect and
S8: child abuse, but it is a form of child abuse
S8: for the school district and the parent to facilitate the delusion. Unfortunately,
S8: we have a culture and we have movements, political and
S8: social movements like the trans industry. And it's an industry,
S8: by the way, because now we have some of the
S8: medical professionals who are making money off transition procedures, making
S8: money on it, supporting and encouraging this. And we have
S8: television programs who are teaching children. You ought to really
S8: question whether you're a boy or a girl, regardless of
S8: what your genetics are and your biology. So at what
S8: point do we call foul and say, there is such
S8: a thing as truth and falsity, and we're not going
S8: to propagate falsity and we're not going to endure it,
S8: we're certainly not going to be required to participate and
S8: support it.
S1: Well, let me go out again and identify the heroes
S1: in these stories. So Abby Hernandez is a boy competing
S1: against Katie McGinnis, a girl. He won first place at
S1: the semi-finals last weekend. Now they've got an upcoming girls
S1: track and field competition in Clovis. this and I have
S1: to tell you again, several lawmakers in the Central Valley
S1: are calling for Hernandez to be removed from the competition.
S1: And I want to give a shout out to, again,
S1: the Clovis Clovis Mayor Pro Tem, Diane Pearce, when she says, quote,
S1: there is a distraction that hangs like a cloud over
S1: this weekend's events. Allowing boys into girls sports puts their achievements,
S1: opportunities and even safety at risk. And the lawmakers brought
S1: up the proposed Senate Bill 622, which would segregate sports
S1: programs based on the pupil sex at birth. This story
S1: is not over yet, but I really do recognize and
S1: thank God for the heroes in this story as we
S1: continue for another hour. Hope you can join us. If not,
