Team. Welcome to the Freedom 4 00:00:21,577 --> 00:00:25,817 Speaker 1: Hot Friday, September thirtieth edition of the program. We have 5 00:00:25,977 --> 00:00:31,137 Speaker 1: the continuing rescue and recovery efforts underway in Florida, and 6 00:00:31,297 --> 00:00:36,297 Speaker 1: also Hurricane Ian just making landfall in South Carolina. A 7 00:00:36,417 --> 00:00:39,817 Speaker 1: major storm surge risk there is happening right now. We'll 8 00:00:39,857 --> 00:00:42,377 Speaker 1: talk to you about what's going on with all of 9 00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:47,457 Speaker 1: this disaster in the southeastern United States and the efforts 10 00:00:47,457 --> 00:00:51,457 Speaker 1: to try to mitigate the loss of life, life and damage. 11 00:00:51,897 --> 00:00:55,937 Speaker 1: We'll also discuss how Gavin Newsom is turning California into 12 00:00:55,937 --> 00:01:01,457 Speaker 1: a sanctuary state for miners too have gender transition surgery. 13 00:01:02,017 --> 00:01:06,857 Speaker 1: And then on Russia, there's a number of places inside 14 00:01:06,857 --> 00:01:10,017 Speaker 1: of Ukraine that have had a sham referendum to join 15 00:01:10,057 --> 00:01:13,137 Speaker 1: in the Russian Federation. Putin is making a lot of 16 00:01:13,177 --> 00:01:16,377 Speaker 1: noise about how the US better back off, but Biden 17 00:01:16,537 --> 00:01:19,657 Speaker 1: saying We're going to back Ukraine to the hilt. We'll 18 00:01:19,697 --> 00:01:23,857 Speaker 1: get into how we get out of all of that situation. 19 00:01:24,297 --> 00:01:26,617 Speaker 1: Where does this go, how does it end? In just 20 00:01:26,657 --> 00:01:29,177 Speaker 1: a moment. But a family or friends ever had arguments 21 00:01:29,217 --> 00:01:32,977 Speaker 1: over politics. It was about one politician over another, or 22 00:01:32,977 --> 00:01:36,017 Speaker 1: which policies best for our country. No one debated whether 23 00:01:36,017 --> 00:01:38,857 Speaker 1: the country was actually great or not. That was naturally assumed, 24 00:01:38,897 --> 00:01:41,217 Speaker 1: at least used to be. Too often today we find 25 00:01:41,217 --> 00:01:43,777 Speaker 1: ourselves arguing about whether our country is great or not, 26 00:01:43,977 --> 00:01:47,017 Speaker 1: about whether we should love America or be ashamed of it. 27 00:01:47,297 --> 00:01:49,577 Speaker 1: One reason for this is simple. For too many years, 28 00:01:49,857 --> 00:01:52,137 Speaker 1: too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach 29 00:01:52,217 --> 00:01:55,777 Speaker 1: young Americans about America's great heritage of liberty. What they're 30 00:01:55,817 --> 00:01:58,697 Speaker 1: often teaching them is a dishonest narrative of America as 31 00:01:58,737 --> 00:02:03,217 Speaker 1: fundamentally unjust and racist. Hillsdale College is weighing in for 32 00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:07,177 Speaker 1: America by offering free online courses such as The Great 33 00:02:07,217 --> 00:02:10,817 Speaker 1: American Story, A Land of Hope and Constitution One, The 34 00:02:10,937 --> 00:02:14,457 Speaker 1: Meaning and History of the Constitution. Watch one, watch them 35 00:02:14,457 --> 00:02:17,817 Speaker 1: both enroll in one of these free courses from Hillsdale, 36 00:02:17,817 --> 00:02:20,017 Speaker 1: and even better, encourage your friends and found me to 37 00:02:20,057 --> 00:02:23,377 Speaker 1: sign up to begin your free Hillsdale College course today 38 00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:27,017 Speaker 1: at Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot com. That's Clay 39 00:02:27,177 --> 00:02:33,537 Speaker 1: and Buck four Hillsdale dot com So the situation in 40 00:02:33,617 --> 00:02:40,137 Speaker 1: Florida is very challenging right now. Obviously, the devastation that 41 00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:43,297 Speaker 1: has already occurred in Florida, particularly the Fort Myers area, 42 00:02:43,537 --> 00:02:47,897 Speaker 1: is extreme. Governor Ronda Santis gave an update this morning 43 00:02:49,577 --> 00:02:52,057 Speaker 1: where he said, this is what we're dealing with, and 44 00:02:52,137 --> 00:02:55,097 Speaker 1: this is how they're trying to do the best they 45 00:02:55,137 --> 00:02:58,497 Speaker 1: can under these very difficult circumstances to get Florida back 46 00:02:59,337 --> 00:03:03,297 Speaker 1: Pine Island, Santa Belle. Those are going to be rebuild efforts. 47 00:03:03,657 --> 00:03:07,217 Speaker 1: The Santa Belle Bridge had breaks in multiple parts of 48 00:03:07,257 --> 00:03:09,457 Speaker 1: it and was not where the water and the pylons 49 00:03:09,457 --> 00:03:11,737 Speaker 1: where are those up very well, it was where you 50 00:03:11,777 --> 00:03:14,377 Speaker 1: had it on some of the sandbar, and that basically 51 00:03:14,417 --> 00:03:17,777 Speaker 1: just got washed out from underneath. In the meantime, they're 52 00:03:17,777 --> 00:03:20,377 Speaker 1: gonna be running barges to be able to bring more 53 00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:22,817 Speaker 1: heavy equipment onto the island to be able to help 54 00:03:23,057 --> 00:03:25,777 Speaker 1: with the response. The first responders that have been there 55 00:03:25,777 --> 00:03:28,137 Speaker 1: buying large coming in via air. You know, they do 56 00:03:28,257 --> 00:03:31,857 Speaker 1: have some equipment, but they're traveling lighter just to be 57 00:03:31,937 --> 00:03:34,257 Speaker 1: able to go and get to people quick as quickly 58 00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:38,297 Speaker 1: as possible. So the primary goal right now, the most 59 00:03:38,337 --> 00:03:41,097 Speaker 1: important thing is the preservation of human life, because there 60 00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:43,497 Speaker 1: are people who are still very much in harm's way, 61 00:03:43,577 --> 00:03:47,817 Speaker 1: who are trapped in flooded areas, and there are still 62 00:03:47,817 --> 00:03:49,617 Speaker 1: a lot of dangers out there as a result of 63 00:03:49,657 --> 00:03:53,137 Speaker 1: all the destruction, the down power lines, there are reports 64 00:03:53,137 --> 00:03:58,137 Speaker 1: of people citing alligators and the flood waters. Now, generally speaking, 65 00:03:58,217 --> 00:04:03,137 Speaker 1: that's not going to result in anything necessarily happening, but 66 00:04:03,217 --> 00:04:07,137 Speaker 1: it's just really disconcerting for people. Obviously they've already been 67 00:04:07,177 --> 00:04:10,177 Speaker 1: through a tremendous trauma and to see the destruction and 68 00:04:10,217 --> 00:04:13,057 Speaker 1: from all these of all these homes and the drone 69 00:04:13,057 --> 00:04:15,977 Speaker 1: footage that are circulating of Fort Myers, it's it's heartbreaking. 70 00:04:15,977 --> 00:04:19,257 Speaker 1: There's no way around that. For a lot of people, 71 00:04:19,297 --> 00:04:22,097 Speaker 1: it's going to be a long process to try to 72 00:04:22,297 --> 00:04:26,977 Speaker 1: repair a sense of you know, a sense of being 73 00:04:27,137 --> 00:04:30,937 Speaker 1: okay once again after even if they just lost possessions, 74 00:04:31,017 --> 00:04:36,577 Speaker 1: losing after losing their home in this situation. The Fort 75 00:04:36,657 --> 00:04:42,257 Speaker 1: Myers Police, I'm sorry, Fire Chief Tracy McMillian said that 76 00:04:42,377 --> 00:04:46,537 Speaker 1: the damage is breathtaking in the Fort Myers area, and 77 00:04:46,617 --> 00:04:48,817 Speaker 1: it really is when you see the video. We had 78 00:04:48,857 --> 00:04:50,977 Speaker 1: our opportunity this morning to get out there to go 79 00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:53,097 Speaker 1: take a look at our city, the city or Fort Myers, 80 00:04:53,137 --> 00:04:55,337 Speaker 1: and see what kind of damage we have. And obviously 81 00:04:55,377 --> 00:04:58,217 Speaker 1: it's a breathtaking, it's it's gasping to see what happened 82 00:04:58,257 --> 00:05:00,457 Speaker 1: for us. I started very early and lasted all the 83 00:05:00,457 --> 00:05:03,217 Speaker 1: way almost to midnight as far as storm surge and 84 00:05:03,497 --> 00:05:05,697 Speaker 1: winds and things like that. So the seeing effect that 85 00:05:05,697 --> 00:05:08,857 Speaker 1: we're trying to see at night and singing in a daylight, wow, 86 00:05:09,137 --> 00:05:11,457 Speaker 1: is it is different. Think of palm trees bowed to it, 87 00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:15,017 Speaker 1: boats on roads that should not be there, in hot 88 00:05:15,097 --> 00:05:21,537 Speaker 1: houses and brush down it. It was really upsetting for 89 00:05:21,737 --> 00:05:25,017 Speaker 1: everybody to see these photos and videos, particularly of these 90 00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:29,137 Speaker 1: barrier islands and the beach front areas, the waterfront areas 91 00:05:29,217 --> 00:05:32,017 Speaker 1: of Fort Myers. It's just gone. There are communities that 92 00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:38,657 Speaker 1: have been literally swept away by these tidal surges, these 93 00:05:39,097 --> 00:05:44,377 Speaker 1: hurricane based floods, and so it's going to be a long, 94 00:05:44,697 --> 00:05:48,497 Speaker 1: difficult process of rebuilding. There's no way around that. Unfortunately. 95 00:05:49,617 --> 00:05:52,777 Speaker 1: I've been telling you to get ready for the political 96 00:05:52,777 --> 00:05:56,737 Speaker 1: attacks because this is occurring in Florida where Rhonda Sentis 97 00:05:56,777 --> 00:06:00,337 Speaker 1: is the governor, and also anytime there is a natural disaster, 98 00:06:00,737 --> 00:06:04,777 Speaker 1: the Democrats in this country there are some Democrats who 99 00:06:04,817 --> 00:06:08,697 Speaker 1: will find it as an opportunity to say that this 100 00:06:08,817 --> 00:06:11,617 Speaker 1: is first off about climate change. I mean, here is 101 00:06:11,657 --> 00:06:19,017 Speaker 1: a meteorologist named Michelle Grossman rightaway says the rapid intensification 102 00:06:19,257 --> 00:06:24,097 Speaker 1: of Hurricane Ian is directly tied to climate change. With 103 00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,657 Speaker 1: this storm, you know, I think what stood out It 104 00:06:26,737 --> 00:06:28,817 Speaker 1: start out as you know, a weak storm and then 105 00:06:28,937 --> 00:06:32,257 Speaker 1: just rapidly intensified. We don't see that that often, and 106 00:06:32,337 --> 00:06:35,257 Speaker 1: that is a connection with climate change. So we're looking 107 00:06:35,257 --> 00:06:37,497 Speaker 1: at the water is being warmer. The water is being 108 00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:40,217 Speaker 1: warmer a little bit further north, so that's what we're seeing. 109 00:06:40,217 --> 00:06:42,537 Speaker 1: And to hold a lot of water the atmosphere when 110 00:06:42,537 --> 00:06:44,817 Speaker 1: it is warming, we can hold a lot more water. 111 00:06:44,897 --> 00:06:47,737 Speaker 1: That's why we're seeing this story being about the water, 112 00:06:47,817 --> 00:06:50,217 Speaker 1: and that's how most people die when it comes to hurricanes. 113 00:06:50,457 --> 00:06:52,297 Speaker 1: It's all about the sea rise and it's all about 114 00:06:52,297 --> 00:06:54,697 Speaker 1: that fresh water falling. So that is the problem, and 115 00:06:54,737 --> 00:07:01,057 Speaker 1: it's becoming more and more normal. Climate change. Connection to 116 00:07:01,097 --> 00:07:05,057 Speaker 1: climate change is this is a religious belief for people, 117 00:07:05,097 --> 00:07:07,257 Speaker 1: even even people in the science. One thing that we 118 00:07:07,297 --> 00:07:11,297 Speaker 1: have seen from COVID one reality I think that has 119 00:07:11,377 --> 00:07:13,817 Speaker 1: hit home for everybody who who is being honest and 120 00:07:13,857 --> 00:07:17,217 Speaker 1: who has paid attention here is scientists are every bit 121 00:07:17,337 --> 00:07:24,097 Speaker 1: as subject to politicization, ideological bias, intransigence of their beliefs 122 00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:28,897 Speaker 1: as anybody else. There's no special school of objective ethics 123 00:07:28,937 --> 00:07:33,017 Speaker 1: that scientists go to. Their profession is supposed to be objective, 124 00:07:33,177 --> 00:07:36,297 Speaker 1: but it's not. Journalism is supposed to be objective, but 125 00:07:36,417 --> 00:07:41,857 Speaker 1: it's not. And this idea that because someone studies a thing, 126 00:07:42,777 --> 00:07:46,657 Speaker 1: they have a better handle on all the implications, the 127 00:07:46,737 --> 00:07:50,057 Speaker 1: ways to deal with something, the policies around it, it's 128 00:07:50,057 --> 00:07:55,857 Speaker 1: just not true. And with climatologists and meteorologists, they know 129 00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,657 Speaker 1: that if they don't go along with this climate change rhetoric, 130 00:07:59,857 --> 00:08:02,257 Speaker 1: they will be attacked, and so it just becomes easier 131 00:08:02,257 --> 00:08:05,417 Speaker 1: for them. It becomes the path of least resistance. And 132 00:08:05,457 --> 00:08:09,017 Speaker 1: then there's just the more explicitly political attacks that are 133 00:08:09,017 --> 00:08:10,937 Speaker 1: going to come against Rod Santis. And I just bring 134 00:08:11,017 --> 00:08:14,537 Speaker 1: up now because it seems like everything that Desantists could 135 00:08:14,537 --> 00:08:18,417 Speaker 1: have done, he did do. In the early stages of this. 136 00:08:18,657 --> 00:08:22,217 Speaker 1: It seems as though Ron de Santists got ahead of 137 00:08:22,257 --> 00:08:27,417 Speaker 1: this with thousands and thousands of brave and skilled first 138 00:08:27,457 --> 00:08:32,297 Speaker 1: responders of all kinds, everything from medical personnel linemen to 139 00:08:32,337 --> 00:08:37,137 Speaker 1: get the electricity back on. They were in place, and 140 00:08:37,177 --> 00:08:39,217 Speaker 1: they were ready to go, and they're already deployed in 141 00:08:39,297 --> 00:08:42,377 Speaker 1: large numbers. There will be people, though, who take this 142 00:08:42,417 --> 00:08:46,097 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to score the cheapest and most grotesque 143 00:08:46,137 --> 00:08:49,457 Speaker 1: of political points. And so that's where Joy Reid comes 144 00:08:49,457 --> 00:08:51,697 Speaker 1: in here. She's saying that, well, when Ron de Santis 145 00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:53,777 Speaker 1: was in the Tea Party, he didn't believe in aid 146 00:08:53,817 --> 00:08:56,457 Speaker 1: and now he does. Places when Ron de Santis was 147 00:08:56,497 --> 00:08:59,057 Speaker 1: in Congress, when he was a Tea Party freshman, when 148 00:08:59,177 --> 00:09:02,537 Speaker 1: New York and New Jersey faced the exact same tragedy. 149 00:09:02,577 --> 00:09:06,017 Speaker 1: I mean literally, the subways in New York were flooded. 150 00:09:06,097 --> 00:09:08,977 Speaker 1: People were could have drowned in the subway. When Ron 151 00:09:09,017 --> 00:09:10,857 Speaker 1: de Santis had the opera to me to make that 152 00:09:10,937 --> 00:09:12,937 Speaker 1: decision and say, well, should the people of New York 153 00:09:12,937 --> 00:09:15,577 Speaker 1: and New Jersey who were hit by a catastrophic hurricane. 154 00:09:15,577 --> 00:09:17,297 Speaker 1: They weren't even used to They're not even implored it. 155 00:09:17,297 --> 00:09:19,977 Speaker 1: They don't used thirty game. He said, no, that shouldn't happen. 156 00:09:20,057 --> 00:09:23,057 Speaker 1: He Marker Rubio and other Tea Party members as Senate 157 00:09:23,097 --> 00:09:26,057 Speaker 1: and House said they shouldn't have that money. It's too expensive. 158 00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:28,737 Speaker 1: He's now got to go hand in hand to Joe 159 00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:32,217 Speaker 1: Biden for a It's something he didn't even believe in 160 00:09:32,217 --> 00:09:34,817 Speaker 1: as a Tea partier. Now, does anyone think that Joy 161 00:09:34,857 --> 00:09:39,457 Speaker 1: Reid is creating an analogy here that is an actual 162 00:09:39,497 --> 00:09:42,377 Speaker 1: representation of exactly what happened? I would ask that, I mean, 163 00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:45,177 Speaker 1: is it really just that Rondescentis doesn't believe or didn't 164 00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:47,617 Speaker 1: believe when he was in Congress in any aid? Really 165 00:09:47,657 --> 00:09:51,337 Speaker 1: that's interesting. But more than that, you're just going to 166 00:09:51,417 --> 00:09:55,737 Speaker 1: see everything possible mobilized by the left to attack rond 167 00:09:55,737 --> 00:09:58,617 Speaker 1: ascent Is. They're terrified of him. They're terrified of him 168 00:09:58,657 --> 00:10:02,417 Speaker 1: because of his competency and also his confidence in his 169 00:10:02,457 --> 00:10:04,897 Speaker 1: ability to do his job. They think that he's a 170 00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:07,977 Speaker 1: political target that needs to be destroyed and a mass 171 00:10:08,057 --> 00:10:13,137 Speaker 1: tragedy that has destroyed who knows how many people's homes 172 00:10:13,137 --> 00:10:15,857 Speaker 1: At this point in Florida and perhaps in South Carolina. Two, 173 00:10:16,777 --> 00:10:19,137 Speaker 1: we're still seeing that the early stages of that storm. 174 00:10:19,137 --> 00:10:22,617 Speaker 1: As I speak to you now, they won't put aside 175 00:10:22,617 --> 00:10:27,657 Speaker 1: their political grievances and allow for any moment of unity. 176 00:10:27,777 --> 00:10:31,537 Speaker 1: It has to be exploited right away. It has to 177 00:10:31,537 --> 00:10:36,057 Speaker 1: be exploited and the immediately by the left by the Democrats, 178 00:10:36,097 --> 00:10:40,097 Speaker 1: they will not miss that opportunity. Now we'll talk about 179 00:10:40,137 --> 00:10:46,017 Speaker 1: the California Sanctuary bill that Gavin Newsom is signing here 180 00:10:46,697 --> 00:10:49,857 Speaker 1: that will create a sanctuary for transgender miners in state 181 00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:52,617 Speaker 1: of California. We'll get there in just a second. You know, 182 00:10:52,657 --> 00:10:54,497 Speaker 1: there's an organization I do want you to know about 183 00:10:54,577 --> 00:10:59,897 Speaker 1: has to do with babies, and it is called Preborn. 184 00:11:00,137 --> 00:11:05,097 Speaker 1: They do amazing work. They provide free ultrasounds to expectant 185 00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:08,777 Speaker 1: mothers so that the mother can have that initial divine 186 00:11:08,937 --> 00:11:13,737 Speaker 1: connection with her baby. And the whole idea here is 187 00:11:13,777 --> 00:11:16,897 Speaker 1: that when a mother is shown what is growing in 188 00:11:16,897 --> 00:11:19,137 Speaker 1: her womb, the life in her womb, she's so much 189 00:11:19,177 --> 00:11:22,057 Speaker 1: more likely, if she's having any doubts, to take that 190 00:11:22,217 --> 00:11:27,257 Speaker 1: pregnancy to term, to give life to that baby, full life, 191 00:11:27,257 --> 00:11:30,617 Speaker 1: to allow that baby to come into come into being 192 00:11:30,617 --> 00:11:34,537 Speaker 1: on its own, entirely outside the womb. And the Preborn 193 00:11:34,577 --> 00:11:37,377 Speaker 1: pregnancy clinics have saved thousands and thousands of babies lives, 194 00:11:37,377 --> 00:11:40,697 Speaker 1: perhaps hundreds of thousands. At this point. The abortion industry 195 00:11:41,097 --> 00:11:44,777 Speaker 1: is horrific and it's still going on full speed ahead. 196 00:11:44,777 --> 00:11:48,937 Speaker 1: In many Democrat states. So this is why Preborn places 197 00:11:49,217 --> 00:11:53,257 Speaker 1: their preborn pregnancy clinics in states where a lot of 198 00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:55,777 Speaker 1: abortions occur, so that women have an alternative, a place 199 00:11:55,817 --> 00:11:57,777 Speaker 1: to go where they can get a free ultrasound and 200 00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:59,857 Speaker 1: they can have people talk to them and be supportive 201 00:11:59,897 --> 00:12:03,377 Speaker 1: and caring and nurturing about this process and about the 202 00:12:03,377 --> 00:12:05,857 Speaker 1: decision they'll make. I know so many people who say 203 00:12:05,857 --> 00:12:09,177 Speaker 1: they're pro life, and that's fantastic, and I am pro 204 00:12:09,217 --> 00:12:11,617 Speaker 1: life and I support them. But what are all of 205 00:12:11,697 --> 00:12:15,017 Speaker 1: us doing to help those out there who are making 206 00:12:15,017 --> 00:12:19,697 Speaker 1: this decision to act on our pro life values. You 207 00:12:19,737 --> 00:12:24,057 Speaker 1: can save lives right now today with Preborn if you 208 00:12:24,177 --> 00:12:26,217 Speaker 1: are able to donate ten dollars, one hundred dollars, a 209 00:12:26,257 --> 00:12:29,257 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, whatever it may be on your phone right now, 210 00:12:29,337 --> 00:12:32,257 Speaker 1: you can dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. 211 00:12:32,337 --> 00:12:36,137 Speaker 1: That's pound two five zero and say the keyword baby. 212 00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:38,657 Speaker 1: Or you can go to this website preborn dot com 213 00:12:38,697 --> 00:12:42,777 Speaker 1: slash buck.

So you're fifteen, 225 00:13:22,937 --> 00:13:25,137 Speaker 1: you get to California, you're gonna have your transgender surgery. 226 00:13:25,697 --> 00:13:30,457 Speaker 1: The state of California is encouraging of this process and 227 00:13:30,497 --> 00:13:35,537 Speaker 1: will even protect from say, parents who want to track 228 00:13:35,617 --> 00:13:38,697 Speaker 1: down that child if they don't agree with the transgender surgery. 229 00:13:40,017 --> 00:13:42,417 Speaker 1: You're noticing something here, and it is that the left 230 00:13:42,537 --> 00:13:44,937 Speaker 1: on the one hand, will tell us why do you 231 00:13:44,977 --> 00:13:47,177 Speaker 1: focus on this so much? Conservatives, why do you make 232 00:13:47,217 --> 00:13:49,417 Speaker 1: such a big deal of this? Then the other it's well, 233 00:13:49,417 --> 00:13:52,737 Speaker 1: they keep passing laws about it, they keep making more 234 00:13:52,777 --> 00:13:59,057 Speaker 1: and more extreme decisions around these issues, and it's just 235 00:14:00,297 --> 00:14:06,697 Speaker 1: it's just remarkable, honestly, how grotesquely dishonest. The left has 236 00:14:06,737 --> 00:14:09,017 Speaker 1: become on all of this. I mean, on the one hand, 237 00:14:09,017 --> 00:14:10,657 Speaker 1: they don't want to talk about the other hand, they're 238 00:14:10,657 --> 00:14:14,417 Speaker 1: passing these laws and doing all these things, So we 239 00:14:14,537 --> 00:14:16,337 Speaker 1: have to focus in on this. I mean, I don't 240 00:14:16,337 --> 00:14:20,057 Speaker 1: know why this state of well, I know, I do 241 00:14:20,057 --> 00:14:21,737 Speaker 1: know why the state of California is doing this, But 242 00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:25,417 Speaker 1: I don't know why more Republican politicians aren't giving voice 243 00:14:25,417 --> 00:14:31,057 Speaker 1: to the fact that there is an exploitation of children 244 00:14:31,057 --> 00:14:34,217 Speaker 1: that is going on here to advance the transagenda in 245 00:14:34,257 --> 00:14:36,657 Speaker 1: a way that is deeply troubling. I mean, Vox, which 246 00:14:36,777 --> 00:14:40,097 Speaker 1: is far left lunacy, just publish this piece. Stop worrying 247 00:14:40,137 --> 00:14:43,457 Speaker 1: about what happens if we let kids transition. Worry about 248 00:14:43,497 --> 00:14:47,937 Speaker 1: what happens if we don't, as if now there's some horrible, 249 00:14:48,497 --> 00:14:51,617 Speaker 1: life destroying future for somebody who is able to go 250 00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:55,537 Speaker 1: through a normal puberty without these surgeries that are doing 251 00:14:56,017 --> 00:15:01,217 Speaker 1: irreversible damage to children. They are switching this around now 252 00:15:01,257 --> 00:15:04,217 Speaker 1: so that remember they change the words to make a 253 00:15:04,217 --> 00:15:08,257 Speaker 1: gender affirmation surgery, and it used to be gender transition, 254 00:15:08,537 --> 00:15:11,057 Speaker 1: and now they're saying, well, if we don't do those surgeries, 255 00:15:11,337 --> 00:15:13,497 Speaker 1: think about all the downside think about what's going to 256 00:15:13,497 --> 00:15:17,137 Speaker 1: be lost in this process. It's really awful, honestly, And 257 00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:20,177 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is making this a state level issue in 258 00:15:20,257 --> 00:15:23,577 Speaker 1: California and it's creating sanctuary state for minors. They're really 259 00:15:23,617 --> 00:15:27,697 Speaker 1: pushing this ideology. There's something sick and wrong in the 260 00:15:27,977 --> 00:15:30,537 Speaker 1: minds in the hearts of Democrats who push this stuff. 261 00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:33,137 Speaker 1: Right now, we need to be very honest about that. 262 00:15:33,817 --> 00:15:37,457 Speaker 1: And on the Russia issue, by the way, we just 263 00:15:37,497 --> 00:15:39,577 Speaker 1: had Russia had a referendum. We're all being told the 264 00:15:39,577 --> 00:15:42,657 Speaker 1: whole thing as a sham. And the Russians do fight dirty, 265 00:15:42,657 --> 00:15:45,497 Speaker 1: play dirty, and that's not a surprise at all. But 266 00:15:45,577 --> 00:15:49,137 Speaker 1: what is the end state here for this? When does 267 00:15:50,017 --> 00:15:52,657 Speaker 1: the conflict between Russia and Ukraine? And Biden just said 268 00:15:52,697 --> 00:15:54,297 Speaker 1: that we'll back Ukraine all the way, We're going to 269 00:15:54,377 --> 00:15:58,577 Speaker 1: give them another thing, sixteen billion dollars until Ukraine is victorious. 270 00:15:58,617 --> 00:16:01,537 Speaker 1: What does that look like? How long are we willing 271 00:16:01,577 --> 00:16:05,177 Speaker 1: to go on with this? Where is the Biden administration 272 00:16:05,217 --> 00:16:08,537 Speaker 1: effort to have a negotiated settlement and bring an end 273 00:16:08,577 --> 00:16:11,817 Speaker 1: to this fighting. You have putin who's giving speeches where 274 00:16:11,857 --> 00:16:15,857 Speaker 1: he's talking about the US setting a precedent by using 275 00:16:15,937 --> 00:16:19,177 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons in an offensive cape and an offensive capacity 276 00:16:19,177 --> 00:16:22,657 Speaker 1: in Japan. This is somebody who has thousands of nuclear weapons. 277 00:16:23,577 --> 00:16:25,377 Speaker 1: I think we should pay pretty close attention to this. 278 00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:29,057 Speaker 1: We just had the pipeline sabotage of a nordstream in 279 00:16:29,137 --> 00:16:32,857 Speaker 1: the Baltic Sea, and we have countries, including countries with 280 00:16:32,937 --> 00:16:35,937 Speaker 1: nukes like Russia and US and EU countries who are 281 00:16:36,097 --> 00:16:38,217 Speaker 1: pointing the finger saying you did it, you did it, 282 00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:41,217 Speaker 1: And look who we haven't charged, Joe Biden. This is 283 00:16:42,617 --> 00:16:45,297 Speaker 1: this is a perilous situation for us in ways that 284 00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:47,497 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people here at home have 285 00:16:47,617 --> 00:16:49,977 Speaker 1: not yet grasped. So we have to keep focusing in 286 00:16:50,097 --> 00:16:52,777 Speaker 1: on what the next steps are, what's the end goal, 287 00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,737 Speaker 1: and what are the people in charge actually trying to 288 00:16:54,737 --> 00:16:59,097 Speaker 1: accomplish here. Thanks for hanging with me. Team had an 289 00:16:59,217 --> 00:17:01,777 Speaker 1: engagement party here in New York yesterday, so I had 290 00:17:01,817 --> 00:17:04,457 Speaker 1: to push through today.

He stayed out a little late. So 293 00:17:10,177 --> 00:17:12,697 Speaker 1: to anybody who is going to be affected by this 294 00:17:12,777 --> 00:17:16,257 Speaker 1: storm or has been affected by it in the southeastern US, 295 00:17:16,337 --> 00:17:20,577 Speaker 1: Florida and the Carolinas, South Carolina, specifically thinking about you 296 00:17:20,617 --> 00:17:23,537 Speaker 1: this weekend, and we'll be talking to all of you 297 00:17:24,337 --> 00:17:25,857 Speaker 1: on Monday, Shields High
