<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Gattie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 3>If I had a major figure in the President of Torbott,

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 3>he was often on these calls. He would pipe in

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 3>to calls he was helping him make campaign decisions.

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Such interjections by Hunter were seen as inappropriate by White

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 4>House staff. That's according to a new book twenty twenty four,

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 4>How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>The President was very concerned about his son. It was

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 3>one of the things that was an albatross on him

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 3>as he tried to run for reelection.

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Now I don't know this book. Is this a new

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>book that is out? Is this a real book? I

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>think so. Yeah.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 5>A trio of pretty well thought of authors twenty twenty four,

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 5>How Trump Pretook the White House and the Democross Democrats

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 5>Lost America.

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:05.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's got.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Some pretty interesting tidbit Senate that I've heard including it

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:13.279
<v Speaker 5>really goes into how Hunter was ever present in campaign meetings,

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 5>sometimes even like cabinet level meetings, although he never met

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 5>with his cabinet but high level meetings where he'd be

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 5>on the speaker phone weighing in and people would be like,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.639
<v Speaker 5>why the hell is a Hunter on the phone yelling

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 5>at me and telling me what to do?

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>Like the President invited him in? Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely,

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>huh And was he at the easel at the time, Like.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 5>He's unleashing his masterpieces on the world. Yes, yes, I

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 5>believe he was. Let's roll on Michael.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 4>In the spring of last year, Hunter was going through

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 4>his handgun trial, reporting to the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 4>In a preview of the book provided to The Wall

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 4>Street Journal, the authors revealed that Hunter expressed interest in

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 4>the Democratic National Committee picking up his legal fees.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Quote.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Lawyers ultimately decided the President should not be involved in

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 4>fundraising for Hunter and the DNS he could not justify

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>picking up Hunter's tab. The previews say continues by claiming

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 4>that in June of twenty twenty four, President Biden told

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 4>a close friend that all he cared about was his

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 4>son not being convicted Matt Jalters.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 5>Biden and Jill went to the White House Council and said, Hey,

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 5>what about having the DNC pay Hunter's legal pills? And

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 5>if that doesn't work, or even if it does, if

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 5>I were like to do fundraisers for his legal pills,

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 5>how old that look.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you how it would look.

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 5>All in the White House Council, to their credits said

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 5>I'd stay away from that.

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow. So that's interesting. As an old man with dementia

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>who'd lost several children, his number one focus was keeping

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Hunter out of jail and having him not be bankrupt.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. Yeah, final short clip from Alexandria Hoff.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 4>This book comes as co author Tyler Pager post page

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 4>one of an alleged six page memo from President biden

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 4>senior advisors urging him to participate in a bait with

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 4>then candidate Trump. Quote as early as possible.

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, go ahead. I was just going to say.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Biden's White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zience, coordinated video

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 5>call with key Biden staffers, including a bunch of others

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 5>that you've heard of, to discuss whether Biden should provide

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 5>an on camera statement to the Supreme Court's July twenty

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 5>twenty four decision. While Donlin already had drafted a written statement,

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Biden wanted to speak about the matter on camera. The

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 5>book claimed staffers on the call started to hash out

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 5>the specifics. When Biden's son started to chime in on

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 5>the call. Suddenly, an ununidentified voice piped up from Biden's

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 5>screen and recommended an Oval Office address. At first, some

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 5>aids had no idea who's speaking. It soon became clear

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 5>the voice belonged to Hunter. Biden to the White House

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>staff had not known was on the call, and several

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 5>people expressed concern about that plan about using the Oval

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 5>Office for a speech. Hunter snapped back, this is one

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 5>of the most consequential decisions Supreme Court has ever made,

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 5>said his father, out every right to use the powerful

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 5>imagery of the Oval Office to deliver the message. They

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 5>later settled on a different plan. But everybody who's walking

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 5>around grumblin, who the hell is heay? I Hunter yelling

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 5>at us.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet Hunter and or Jill were in all these

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>meetings because they knew that at any given moment, Joe

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't capable of speaking up for himself or wasn't paying attention.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>That's why they were there. I want to hear one

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>more thing here about this book, and then I've got

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>an interesting historical note about why we shouldn't believe anything

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>we hear about any president. But this is Byron York

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>of the Washington Examiner, who's read the book.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 6>Biden was known as a senator as kind of a

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 6>walking gaff machine. So that was a reputation he.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Had for a long time.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 6>And yet anybody who looks at Joe Biden, video of

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 6>Joe Biden, for example, when he became the vice president

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 6>of the United States with Barack Obama in two thousand

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 6>and nine and when they were re elected in twenty twelve,

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 6>look at those videos and look at him even in

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 6>the twenty twenty campaign, and certainly by the last year

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 6>of his presidency in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 6>there was a remarkable decline.

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Everybody could say it Will Trod, that's Will Trod ground.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was going to be. So there is

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a section of the book where there was a joke

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>among the staffers about how many times did he claim

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>today that he flew with Jijingping? Oh boy, because of

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>his never ending stories that he would tell no matter

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 2>how many times they were debunked by various newspapers. God,

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 2>so the historical note, and this is the thing I

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to talk about was. I'm reading this new

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>World War two book by this guy last named Tall Toll,

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 2>and for some reason, I had missed this trilogy that

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>came out in the two thousand, very very highly respected

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>trilogy about the Pacific War. I'm reading the third one first.

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I skipped the first two because we're coming up on

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you know how we just did the eightieth anniversary of

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the end of the war in Europe. We're coming up

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on the eightieth anniversary of the end of the war

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 2>war with the finally beating the Japanese. Reading this book

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's so damn good and interesting. I mean, even

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>as a guy's taken in so much World War two stuff,

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>this is a fantastic book. But all this stuff about

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>FDR that i'd never heard before. And I talked last

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>week or before vacation a little bit about like I

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. When FDR decided to run for a third term,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the press turned on him hard all across the country.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's so FDR is so held up in

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>high esteem now by all historians of the media. Is

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>like the the the the gold standard of what a

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>president should be. But man, he's a godhead of the

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>left in the middle of his four term, you know,

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>four terms, he won election, the press turned on him hard.

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Two thirds of papers across of America didn't endorse him

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.919
<v Speaker 2>when he ran for the third time, so it's like,

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing? And then when he decided to

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>run for a fourth term, it was met with like

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 2>you've got to be freaking kidding by the press. And

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 2>FDR had such a bad relationship with the press as

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.919
<v Speaker 2>he decided to run for that fourth term. There's a

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 2>quote in there. I should have written it down, but

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 2>it was something like he wasn't talking to anybody anymore.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>It was Biden esk. He just would not talk to

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the press. He stopped having press conferences, he stopped answering questions.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And somebody brought that up to him, and he said,

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 2>to me, the First Amendment is one of the most

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>overrated things in world history or something like that, FDR said.

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But on the health, which really gets to the Joe

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Biden thing, he had just been diagnosed with the congestive

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 2>heart failure, which at that time there was no way

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to cure or treat, and you were going to live

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>like a year maybe, and a doctor knew that, but

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>he had a different doctor, a White House doctor, as

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 2>presidents do, not the physician who diagnosed him whatever, but

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 2>as all presidents do. The White House doctor went out

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>actually said how biden esque is this? Actually said he's

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Franklin Roosevelt is in better shape than when he ran

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>in thirty three. That's what the doctors told America, and

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the media who were close enough to have some idea,

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>were like, what is going on here? Wow? My point being,

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>We've done this a bunch of times and you just

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 2>can't trust anything that comes out of power. Power will

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>lie and lie and lie if it serves them to

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>stay in office.

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 5>Correct, Yeah, yeah, And I love the fact that you

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 5>said power, because that's what it's all about. To hold

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 5>onto the reins of power or to gain them, people

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 5>will do and say anything.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>And they justified it with people convincing themselves the same

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>way with Joe Biden. Well, you know he's got dementia

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and he shouldn't be in the job. But the alternative

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is Trump. So as a good American, I'm gonna keep

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 2>biting office. They did the same thing with FDR with

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the idea he's the only man that can finish this war,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and you know, keep the alliance together. So it's important

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>for me as a patriot to lie about his health

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>and everything. And so you just convince yourself and you

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.599
<v Speaker 2>go along with it. It doesn't have anything to do with

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got the coolest job in the world as the

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, Secretary of State or chief of staff or

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, and you would lose that job if

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you came out and we're off. Honest, No, it's all

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>because you're a good patriot. You convince yourself of that. Yeah, yep,

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>troubling democracy doesn't work. No, but why we have to

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>relearn the lesson over and over again that power will

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>lie just endlessly. I don't know.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 5>You're dealing with very very smart people who craft very

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 5>very attractive lives.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, the other side of it, the flip coin. The

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 2>flip side of the coin, though, is the people in

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>power realize these details won't come out for decades and

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>it won't matter then right, right, Yes, let's do whatever

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 2>we want. Yeah, it's funny.

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 5>I have a handful of really interesting stories about the

0:09:55.720 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 5>final days of the Biden administration, including somebody who ought

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 5>to go to jail, but it'll probably just go away.

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>A complete side note, and this is narrow casting. The

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 2>stuff about Douglas MacArthur and what a phony build up

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of his image was just so America would have a

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>hero to worship is really interesting and another thing we

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>should all watch out for when that sort of thing

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>can occur. Sure.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well I said, We've had really interesting discussions through

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 5>the years, at least they were to me about secrecy

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 5>in warfare and propaganda in warfare. Yeah, and how a

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 5>lot of it is not entirely honest, but it's necessary.

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I'm not. That's a slope where the footing

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>isn't real good. No, it's not. And as a quote

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>in Eisenhower in the book about America needed a hero

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 2>and the media created one for them. He couldn't stand MacArthur,

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>thought he was a complete phoney. But you know, so

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe America didn't need to hurt a hero to worship

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But my point being, you get lied to

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>all time, right, yeah, agreed? Coming up gender bending Madness Update,

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>New Hope addition, and don't you dare get a Brazilian

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>butt lift until you hear about the disgusting side effect

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that is very common. What do you think I was

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>doing on vacation? The reason I took that extra day.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, you know, I noticed you're a little perk

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>here back there, So fake explains the using horrible, disgusting

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>side effect. That's all the waist they here. Over the weekend,

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the rapper known as four Extra lost two fingers in

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>a fireworks accident. He's now changed his name to three Left.

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>The good news is he's no longer throwing up gang signs.

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 5>You know, I saw that first punchline coming, but I

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 5>enjoyed it a lot. Three Left and get it and

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 5>be capable of fireworks, kids, gender manning, madness uptake coming

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.599
<v Speaker 5>up next segment, But first, a handful of consumer oriented

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 5>stories that I found intriguing and or amusing. A Wall

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 5>Street Journal reporting vanity sizing is forcing petit women into kids' clothes,

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 5>changing styles, and the supersizing of apparel is pushing shoppers

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 5>to unusual lengths to find something that fits. And the

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 5>subheadline is so much glitter, Yeah you better like sparkles. Yeah,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 5>the petit women who have been forced to go for

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 5>children's sizes because the American girth has been increasing.

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 2>More on that in a moment. But everybody knows this right.

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 5>The apparel industry for years has been employing vanity sizing,

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 5>making clothes larger and larger while keeping the sizes the same,

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 5>making matters worse for slender shoppers. Is a current fashioned

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 5>woman in which oversized looks are in vogue. The result

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 5>clothes so big that slender people are swimming in them.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know it's true. With young people, they're all

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 2>wearing super giant, baggy clothes.

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 5>This Gallow's five to fives try petque clothing, but because

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 5>those fits are designed for shorter people, the shirt sleeves

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 5>stop above her wrists and the jeans don't even graze

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 5>her ankles. Children's clothes fit better, but the styles aren't sophisticated.

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Too many flowers and so much glitter. Final note on this,

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 5>The average American woman weighs about one hundred and seventy pounds,

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 5>which is thirty pounds more than she did in nineteen sixty.

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 5>According to the National Center for Health Statistics, average is

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 5>one seventy That is correct? Is that average or median?

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 5>Because if there's like one fifty thousand pound woman that's

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 5>trus it's like the Bill Gates walks into a bar

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 5>thing right, your net worth, your average networth et cetera,

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 5>et cetera.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Bill Gates could walk into a bar and change the

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>average in net worth if fifty thousand pound woman is

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 2>not going to roll into the bar or probably the buffet. No,

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>oh my, that was insensitive up thousand pounds.

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 5>She needs some tough talk. Look at yourself when you

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 5>hit thirty thousand. Didn't you think you know?

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I gotta change something. It's Katie, this is terrible. There's

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 2>something terribly wrong here. Because the average height for a

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>woman is five to three. So if we're averaging at

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>one seventy, that seems pretty portly. Yeah, yeah, I don't

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>think that that sounds high to me. That sounds really

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you arguing with the name National Center for Health Statistics.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess I am, but that just that sounds high

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to me. There's a lot more to get to, Okay.

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 2>The Brazilian butt lift surgery is a procedure that enhances

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the size and shape of someone's rear end through a

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 2>fat transfer. Don't I know what, I've had two of them.

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 5>It's often consented the dangerous procedure by experts since there's

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 5>a possibility of death, infection, and more. I would restructure

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 5>that sentence. Once you have death. Infection is kind of irrelevant, right,

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 5>but more the more. But this popular and freaking stupid surgery.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Do you seriously think having a bigger butt is going

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 5>to materially change your life?

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>It's for the better. It's for bigger or higher a lift.

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 2>It's it's both. I'd like mine higher. It makes it

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>not only higher.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 5>Not only is BBL surgery risky, there's one bizarre, rather

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 5>gross side effect that comes along that the potential patients

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 5>should consider. It's called the BBL smell and it is real.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 5>So this doctor, what uh? There's often a smell expected

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 5>for BBL patients after sweating or sitting for long periods,

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 5>an aggressive.

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Scent because I'm guessing because you have crevasses. No, no, uh.

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 5>There are tissue death, which is a BBL complication, and

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 5>unhygienic habits that could cause someone with BBBL to have

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 5>a smelly be hunt.

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the worst thing ever done by a lot. Yeah,

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I am issuing an important warning to people who might

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>fall prey to this insidious procedure. If a patient was

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 2>quote overfilled with fat during the procedure, fat necrosis, which

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>is when faty tissue in the butt dies, can occur

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>as a result of RADSID smell develops. Well, yeah, I

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>imagine you smell like a dead body.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes, infections that need antibiotics, hospitalizations, and even that lead

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 5>to sepsis.

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, this has been a treat, Thanks Joe. What

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>is that coloni you're wearing? Black plague? Who is that

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 2>dead raccoon? No, that's my BBL surgery gone wrang, I'm

0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 2>telling you, ladies. Oh beautiful owaar right, God, you gotta

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 2>wear the kids clothes and you smell like a dead body, and.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 5>Things are going well for you. Gender bending Madness Good

<v Speaker 1>Podcast Are Strong and Getty.

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 2>It is the overwhelming majority of us, especially those competing

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>at the elite level, are of the mindset that it's wrong.

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 4>It's unfair, it's regressive, it's harmful to have.

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.040

<v Speaker 5>The Great Riley Gaines hero fighting against gender bending madness.

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 2>It's time for an update. There's Hope edition.

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 7>So I kept hearing about this thing called.

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>The loco. We're a brave world. No, I like that thing.

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 2>At the end, it reminds you of being in South Beach, Man,

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 2>was there a lot of uh Pride Month going on

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.439
<v Speaker 2>in South Beach in Key West? Although when you live

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 2>in northern California, didn't see any different than a normal day. Really?

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I suppose so. So some gender banning madness updates

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 5>for you. First of all, the Supreme Court has announced

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.360
<v Speaker 5>it will take up the blockbuster case on transgender athletes

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 5>joining girls teams.

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 2>That means boys boys. I'm going to really confuse this.

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 5>There's a great piece I read recently about how confusing

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 5>it is to everybody. And you've expressed this the whole

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 5>a transgender man and everybody's like, I can't remember which.

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Thing ye is? Right? Yeah? Exactly, Well and interestingly enough

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>to me not to get off on this for too

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 2>long a time, but to say, a transgender woman that

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>is conceding that that is a woman and you shouldn't

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 2>because that person is not.

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm for saying a dude, a transgender dude, that is

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 5>a dude who's trying to appear as come off as

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 5>present as a woman.

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 2>But again, that would further confuse it.

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So the Supreme Court is going to review Idahoes

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 5>and West Virginia's bands on transgender athletes joining female sports teams. Again,

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 5>that's dudes, just weeks after the Court's conservative majority upheld

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 5>Tennessee's ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapies and cruel

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 5>experiments on Milne.

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Very different topics though, so I'd be interesting to see.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>So they're going to take it up next year, I disagree.

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, I mean, clearly they're different, although they all

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 5>come back to the same question. Is radical gender theory

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 5>supportable by any scientific measure or any reasonable measure.

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 2>It's the idea that you can choose whether you're a

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 2>man or a woman. Man getting a fire. I can't

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 2>believe it's taken this long. We're going to get a

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 2>final ruling from the Supreme Court, I hope on whether

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>or not dudes can be in girls' sports. That would

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 2>And like I know, like I've said before, I think

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the people who out loud are claiming

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.919
<v Speaker 2>they're all for this will love the Supreme Court to

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>weigh one way or the other and it just be over.

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.199
<v Speaker 2>They don't have to worry about it anymore. If you

0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>had brought this up ten years ago, it would be

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 2>like saying, yeah, the Supreme courts can to rule on

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.959
<v Speaker 2>whether gravity generally pulls objects towards the earthwame whether dogs

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>can vote. Right.

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, The USA Today, which I'm quoting intentionally because it

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 5>is hilariously idiotically left wing, says more than half states

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.439
<v Speaker 5>have passed laws preventing transgender athletes from competing on female

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 5>sports teams.

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>That's because they're dudes.

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 5>They've passed laws preventing dudes from competing on female sports teams,

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 5>saying they're trying to prevent competitive advantages. The laws don't

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.400
<v Speaker 5>take into account someone's athletic ability or how far they

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 5>are in transgtioning to another gender. That's because you can't.

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 5>And because they're dudes is why they're they're fellas.

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.640
<v Speaker 2>So how big a deal do you think this will

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.439
<v Speaker 2>be as a Supreme Court case? Will this be like

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:52.120
<v Speaker 2>huge huge? You think like gay marriage huge or well, no,

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>partly because this is a fairly small number of people,

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's more calling bulls on a ridiculous, radical fringe

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 2>theory that nobody believed except in the outer reaches of

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 2>academia until very very recently. Well I don't know the

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:10.360
<v Speaker 2>question said.

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 5>They were so vicious about it, they got miles beyond

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 5>anywhere they should have.

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the specific situation they're looking at, and

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>as often happens with the Supreme Court, they could gain

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>end up with a very narrow ruling that applies only

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>to that situation.

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 5>Right right, So we gave short shrift to the announcement

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 5>by the University of Pennsylvania the other day, as the

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 5>editors of the National Review put it, a blow to

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.159
<v Speaker 5>trans insanity, a victory for common sense. What a difference

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 5>a couple of years in a new administration make A

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 5>University of Pennsylvania issued a statement last week announcing it

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 5>would comply with the Trump administration's title line policies and

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 5>single sex sports in a signal victory for common sense

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 5>women's sports and the administration. According to the press release

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 5>from the Department of Education, the school will adopt quote

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 5>biology based definitions of male and female.

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>As if there are any other definitions.

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 5>To ensure the integrity of single sex teams and facilities

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 5>like locker rooms, the university must also try to make amends.

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 5>It will restore to female swimmers all individual records, titles,

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 5>or recognitions previously given to male athletes, and it must

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 5>send a personalized apology letter to the impacted female swimmers,

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.399
<v Speaker 5>sorry about There's no need folks to ever go beyond

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 5>male and female in this discussion.

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 2>On personal letter of apology, sorry about that signed the college.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>In other words, it was a near total capitulation by

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 2>an institution that was at the forefront of the trans

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 2>insanity in sports.

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 5>About three years ago. They get into the details of

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 5>Leah Thomas Oh the presidents of the university president's letter.

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 5>While Penn's policies during the twenty one to twenty two

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 5>swim season were in accordance with NCA eligibility rules at

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.879
<v Speaker 5>the time, we acknowledge that some student athletes were disadvantaged

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 5>by these rules.

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You think we will wreck denies.

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 5>This and apologize to those who experienced a competitive disadvantage

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 5>or experienced anxiety because of the policies in effect at

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 5>the time.

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Anxiety, Yeah, that's what I suffer from. Anxiety because as

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 2>a nineteen year old girl, I got to see a

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>giant dude's wang when I'm changing clothes and then get

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 2>whooped up on in the pool after spending my whole

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>life trying to become an elite woman swimmer.

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, as the National Review editors right. Of course, competitive

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 5>disadvantage is a euphemism for discrimination, denial of opportunity, and

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:35.919
<v Speaker 5>stolen awards, while experienced anxiety is a slighting way to

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.640
<v Speaker 5>put the normal reaction of female athletes forced to share

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 5>locker rooms with males. The university repeats the same tired

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 5>verbiage about committing quote being committed to fostering a community

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.159
<v Speaker 5>that is welcoming, inclusive, and open all students, faculty, and staff.

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Not too long ago, in the name of.

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 5>These ideals, the school reservedly supported Thomas well, ignoring his

0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 5>female teammates. I would cribble that they actually browbeat them

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 5>and bullied them. In twenty twenty one, Penn Athletics shamelessly

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:09.719
<v Speaker 5>boasted that Thomas Quote delivered another record breaking performance at

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:10.200
<v Speaker 5>an event.

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>This is a six foot four inch.

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 5>Man, and Quote won the race by nearly seven seconds

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 5>and her time was the fastest in the country. Yeah,

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 5>of course he did. We noted at the time that

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 5>Thomas was an average swimmer for the men's swimming division. Nonetheless,

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 5>than twenty twenty two, the university.

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Nominated Dude Thomas for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Wow,

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>A dude and again the women were browbeaten and bullied

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and threatened with losing their scholarships and the rest of it.

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Three years ago.

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 5>Moving along now that they're no longer afraid for their

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 5>scholarships and social pressure and that sort of thing, all

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 5>of Leah Thomas's so called teammates are coming out and saying,

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:04.679
<v Speaker 5>thank god Monica Brazinska around Lea. I wasn't going to

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:08.399
<v Speaker 5>risk anything. She just ended up changing in other places,

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 5>left the locker room at her inconvenience. As a season

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 5>dragged on, she became less and less comfortable, just avoided it.

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.520
<v Speaker 5>A couple other of the teammates are quoted here as

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:25.360
<v Speaker 5>saying it was bizarre. It was like a surreal thing happening,

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 5>because they would say, this is a guy, and they

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 5>would be.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yelled at that's a woman. You're a bigot if you

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:37.120
<v Speaker 2>say otherwise. Wow, it had to be surreal, like you

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe it was.

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 5>Happening, right right, and then you know, I'm looking at

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.399
<v Speaker 5>you know. It's mostly good news these days. But Slate

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 5>dot com, the liberal news outlet, says U Penn's capitulation

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 5>of the Trump administration is disgraceful. Wow, and this writer,

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 5>this Julie Kleegman, goes into the extremely rare existence of

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 5>folks with ambiguous gentalia, internal testicles, xx y chromosomes, that

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 5>sort of thing, and says, because those people exist, a big,

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.399
<v Speaker 5>hulking dude who just says, yeah, I'm a woman now

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 5>ought to be allowed to dominate powerlifting. It is a

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 5>very strange argument. And I feel for somebody who's like,

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 5>lives for athletics and it turns.

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Out they are a woman but.

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:36.679
<v Speaker 5>Have internal testicles and especially high levels of those are

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 5>vary of testosterone. Those are very rare cases, but it's troubling.

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 5>I feel for those gals. It's got to be confusing

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 5>and disconcerting. And then the final note, the state of

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:51.199
<v Speaker 5>cal Unicornia has announced officially they will not submit to

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:55.959
<v Speaker 5>the Justice Department's Title nine complaint, and California will spend

0:26:56.359 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 5>tens of millions of taxpayer dollars fighting to let boys

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 5>continue to compete on girls teams. If they've got a

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 5>little eyeshadow on, way to go, California. Way to stand

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 5>up for what's good and right. It's gender bending madness.

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:17.880
<v Speaker 2>So California is gonna fight that until the Supreme Court rules,

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 2>and then that will be a rallying cry for an

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:27.120
<v Speaker 2>election about vote for Gavin Newsom for president whoever, because

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Hill appoints Supreme Justice Superpreme Court justices that will overturn

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>this madness. Right.

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 5>The strategy being that that hardcore radical, very small percentage

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 5>of Americans that believes boys ought to be able to

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:42.280
<v Speaker 5>be on girls teams if they throw on a little eyeshadow,

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and that's again, it's shrinking all the time. The idea

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 5>being that that hardcore will get you the nomination, and

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 5>then you tack.

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Toward the center, like he did pathetically on Charlie kirkch podcast.

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 5>I just on a pure strategic level, never mind what's

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 5>saying and what's right and what's good. I don't even

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 5>think it makes sense on that level.

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Some AI, somebody who was using AI to sound like

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Marco Rubio and actually was able to talk to foreign diplomats. No,

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>which is a three foreign ministers, a US governor, and

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a member of Congress as fake AI Marco Rubio. We'll

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 2>get to that story later. That's a good one. Among

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 2>other things.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us, Alick Scooper, all right, Daddy gang and

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>cuffs fans, are you ready, you've never seen.

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Something like this before. A one hun two on three

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>were two of all.

0:28:53.280 --> 0:29:16.239
<v Speaker 7>To the Crown, Cray good jack, appropriate booing, drag her

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.719
<v Speaker 7>onto the field, drag her all the starter.

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 2>So she's from that podcast Call Me Daddy. She's from

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the famous call Me Daddy podcast that was an attempt

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 2>to uh, you know, get what she got played on

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 2>our radio show in lots of different places for getting attention.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 2>The reason people were booing was not that the you know,

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 2>singing is bad. You're you're taking something that people like

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and is a tradition and he came with your kids

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>of the game and you're mocking it basically right for

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>your attention for your career. Yeah, you're you're you're mocking

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 2>what we're all here to enjoy. Yeah, So that is

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a very booable offense. Yeah, in my opinion. Speaking of sports,

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 2>mentioned briefly yesterday, the WNBA has a weird problem with

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>their professional sports league that I don't think any professional

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 2>sports league has ever had their most popular player, maybe

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 2>their best player, but their most popular player by far

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 2>is hated by the other players. So they did the

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>All Star voting in fan voting, Caitlin Clark who the

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 2>league president said is the most popular athlete in America

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and might very well be. Caitlin Clark set a new record,

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 2>beating last year's record by just dominant number of votes

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 2>to be on the All Star team. The media voted

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 2>her in third, the player's ninth among guards. I believe

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 2>so in the ninth guard. So wow. The players don't

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>dig it. And Caitlin Clark in terms of her effect

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 2>on the league, merchandise sales have risen six hundred percent

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 2>all merchandise sales since she entered the WNBA. She's responsible

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 2>for almost thirty percent of all WNBA economic activity by

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>yourself and ratings for games and blah blah, blah blah.

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 2>She's the best thing that ever happened to that sport

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 2>by far right right, and the other players either resent

0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 2>it or I don't know exactly what's going on there.

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, you've got the racial thing going on, and it's

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:24.440
<v Speaker 5>not coincidental or not unimportant that we're talking about a

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 5>league full of young women who tend to be wildly

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 5>left political and really into the grievance thing and grievance

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 5>studies and racializing everything. And there's the sexual thing too,

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Caitlin is straight in a league that's dominated by lesbian players,

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and so yeah, they hate her, and in every other

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 5>league of any other sport around the planet they think.

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:52.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm not you know, I'm kind of bothered

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 5>by this, but man, it's a gravy train. So we'll

0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 5>just say pleasant things and move on with our lives.

0:31:56.960 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 5>But no, because they're young women and they're so political

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 5>they can't restrain themselves. Seems odd to me that you

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 5>just don't.

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Like either respect her game as somebody who has dedicated

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>your life to it, and like think, wow, this is great.

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 2>People are watching us more than they ever have. We

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>got packed stadiums, we got we're getting on TV channels

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>we've never gotten on before. This is fantastic, great example

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>of how ideology makes people into fools. They are way

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 2>more into.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Their cult than their own success or the success of

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 5>their league.

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 2>But that's not a lot of fun if you're Caitlin Clark.

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh no to to know so many of the players

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 2>resent you that way. I mean, it's one thing that

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the rivalries of we hate you know, the

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 2>other guy on the other team, their star player. That's

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 2>different though you know that they hate you because you're

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 2>so good. Uh, you know, it's a competitive thing, and

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 2>you kind of like that, you like being the villain.

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>But when then when they like personally dislike you because

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 2>you're straight or white or whatever, that's got to be

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 2>very hurtful.

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 5>It is hurtful, Jack, but not as hurtful as spot fixing.

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Do you know about spot fixing? My classic Joe Getty transition?

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't know what spot fixing is.

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Spot Fixing has been scandalizing sports all over the planet,

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 5>and now it's come to America with the computerized sports betting.

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 5>It's one of the most pernicious forms of corruption of

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 5>sports that's ever been witnessed. And like the murder hornet

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 5>or what was that, the latest killer be to invade

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 5>our shores, it is now here. And they begin this

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 5>story with Cleveland pitchers. Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz began

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 5>the third inning of his recent outing by throwing a

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 5>slider in the dirt ball one, no problem. He's thrown

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 5>more than fifty hundred pitches this season. The third of

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 5>them have been balls out of the strike zone. There's

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 5>no reason to think twice about one that slipped. But

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 5>within the gambling industry. Alarms were blaring. You can bet

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 5>on will the first pitch of the inning be a

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:18.359
<v Speaker 5>ball or a strike from this pitcher? Or this you know,

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.879
<v Speaker 5>will this batter do? There are never ending lists of propositions,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 5>and a betting integrity firm, which is a thing, had

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:30.760
<v Speaker 5>identified unusual wagering activity on that specific pitch being a ball.

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 5>And there was another first pitch of an inning that

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.320
<v Speaker 5>Arties threw that you couldn't have hit with two bats

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 5>nailed together, it was so far outside. There was unusual

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 5>activity on that pitch being a ball.

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 2>With the insinuation that he's in on the deal in

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>somehow profiting he.

0:34:48.000 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 5>Is now what is suspended a non what do they

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 5>call it? A non disciplinary leave while they investigate the matter.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:06.879
<v Speaker 5>Digital tiny parts of games that nobody would notice are

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:10.800
<v Speaker 5>being fixed by players now all over the world for profit.

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. We got to talk more about that. If

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:14.480
