1 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Columbia looks like it's actually going to punish some of 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: the people the insurrectionists that took over the library there, 3 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: which is fascinating. And a power player is out at NPR. 4 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,479 Speaker 1: We hate to see bad things happen to the good, 5 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: non biased folks over at NPR. And remember the ice 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: Block app. We talked about it a couple weeks ago. 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: Well it's back in the news and the reason why 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: is fascinating. All that and more coming up on this 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bob. 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for tuning in. Together. We are charting 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback. This is Turning Point Tonight. Now, 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: before we get to those stories, I have to talk 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: about this, especially because it's right in my backyard in California. 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you send emails and 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: texts and comments, So why are you living in California? 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: I were working on it. You know, this is not 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: exactly the easiest thing to move, but you know, stuff 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: like this is kind of normal. Now, preface this which 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: with I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: what I can be almost sure of if any of 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: the passes an indication is not all of it's above board. 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: Remember the fire Aid concert that happened to benefit the 23 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: victims of the fires in the Los Angeles area earlier 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: this year, Well, they raised one hundred million dollars at 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: that concert, and now people are wondering, or did all 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: that money go? Well, the reality is not a lot 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: of us really know. What we do know is it 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,919 Speaker 1: definitely didn't go directly to the fire victims. The fire 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: Aid organization decided to offload the responsibility to the Annenberg 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: Association or organization, and then that group decided, okay, well, 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: all of this money is going to go to various nonprofits. Now, 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the goal in the ideal would be that those nonprofits 33 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: who have the local infrastructure would then disseminate that money 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: to the people that need it. But the question is 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: is that actually happening. On fire Aid's website, there are 36 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of organizations that are highly questionable, very very suspect, 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: like the California Native Vote Project, which is an organization 38 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: that got fire Aid money whose main goal is to 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: get Native Americans to engage in the political process. Now, 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: to be fair, the fire Aid website said that hey, 41 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: well they're actually trying to get money or aid to 42 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: Native Americans who lost their homes in the fires, which 43 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: is sixteen people out of twenty three thousand. Now, again, 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: that really doesn't say much other than the fact that 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: the bottom line is we know that there's going to 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: be some shenanigans here because of the highly questionable organization 47 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: that's giving money to highly questionable organizations locally where that 48 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: ends up bleeding not entirely sure, but at the end 49 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: of the day, it makes sense to keep a watchful 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: eye on this because this is a massive sum of 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: money one hundred million dollars, and I think we all 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: can agree that we would love for it to go 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: to the people that act truly needed, and not bad 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: actors lining their pockets via these fake charities. If that 55 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: is the case. Here to comments on that and so 56 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: much more is political commentator the Heck Cook and Turning 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Point contributor Rapper, also interpretive dancer. I believe tof is 58 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: that also in your wheelhouse. It probably can be so 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: for guys. Thank you guys so much for joining us. 60 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Really appreciate you taking the time. 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: With you. 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Heck, I want to start with you here. Again, there's 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: no real concrete evidence of this yet, but it just 64 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: it looks fishy. And this is like at the very 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: beginning of this, but overall, we've seen in the past 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: these charity organizations getting government money. Now this is not 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: government money, but getting government money to effectively do things 68 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: that are against the interests of the people that they 69 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: claim to be helping. What do you think this is 70 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: gonna look like ultimately or just give us your thoughts 71 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: in general, with this huge sum of money going to 72 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: nonprofits who are most to diseminate the money instead of 73 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: directly to the victims that need it. 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: Joe Bob, this is going to be a massive scandal, 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: and I think we need more information. But I was 76 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: reading some of the money and where it's going. Some 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: of these charities are giving to preschool bathrooms. I have 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: a preschooler. I don't think we need money for our bathrooms. 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: This was supposed to be going to victims today. So 80 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: I think Katie, Katy Perry, she's saying her heart out, 81 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: jelly roll, all those singers and rappers need to start 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: demanding and threaten the lawsuit. That is the fastest way 83 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: for us to have discovery and for the American people 84 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 3: to know where that money went because we know that 85 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: people are hurting today. They are still out of their homes, 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 3: there's so much damage. And for the American people, we're 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: not going to be giving and willing to give if 88 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: you're not telling us where our money's going. I mean, 89 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: that's going to stop donations and that's terrifying. 90 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a good point. Yeah, there was a 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: group there that was their whole purpose was cleaning elementary 92 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: school bathrooms, and maybe that needs to happen. But again, 93 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the fire money going directly to 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: that makes a whole lot of sense tofer in order 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: to get or in order to apply for these grants, 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: a somebody can go to the fire Aid website and 97 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: fill out a six question form. In other words, doesn't 98 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: really look like a bunch of background checking is going 99 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: on into these quote unquote charities that are getting this money. 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: As a musician yourself, if you were one of the 101 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: people that were as a part of that concert, how 102 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: mad would this make you? 103 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 104 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 4: I'm furiated because when you think about the people who 105 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: put their trust in this type of event, in the 106 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: organization like fire Aid, and everybody came together to raise 107 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: a one hundred million dollars just for to be used 108 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: with moneylundering or be pushed through. 109 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: What I call shell companies because we saw this as 110 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: a BLM. 111 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: Right, you got this very sentimental movement, everybody's serious about it, 112 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 4: and the money just disappears and no one has to 113 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: answer for it. 114 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: So I hate to see this, but this is a. 115 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: Pattern when you look at programs or organizations or nonprofits 116 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: set forth by socialists or I would call them leftists, 117 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,559 Speaker 4: because all they want to do is redistribute the wealth, 118 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 4: and we're seeing that happen in real time. 119 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 2: And I'm hoping people understand the importance. 120 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 4: Of grass roots of organizations like Official Patriot Geary or 121 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: other conservative I would say movements where we go in 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 4: and actually assist people where they are. You know, we're 123 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 4: not just sitting above in our offices and trying to 124 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 4: find where money could be. We got hands, got feats 125 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: on the ground, hands and hands to the plow, and 126 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: we're just putting the money what need to be. And 127 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 4: once again, I feel bad for these people, but yeah, 128 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 4: it's it's it's their moo at this point. 129 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a certain part of me that wants to 130 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: start my own fake charity to see how much I 131 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: can get corporations to give me money. Being a brown 132 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: guy myself, maybe maybe we should all start that organization 133 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: and see if we can siphon some money out of 134 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: the Wolkes there. Speaking of the Wokes, this is actually 135 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: great news coming out of Columbia. Now, Columbia was kind 136 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: of the epicenter of insurrectionists, let's use the term there, 137 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: who took over parts of the campus. Most recently earlier 138 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: in the school year, they took over the library. Seventy 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: of those, Around seventy of those are actually going to 140 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: face consequences. Maheck, around two thirds of those are going 141 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: to be hit with suspensions of one to two years, 142 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: and some of them are even going to get expelled 143 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: from the school. Now, this is not even taking sides 144 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: in the argument. I obviously have a specific side in 145 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: this quote unquote free Palestine movement, But even outside of that, 146 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: people just don't like seeing public institution or even private institutions, 147 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: any institutions be taken over by force by a mob. 148 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: Do you think the tide is shifting, especially on these 149 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: Ivy League campuses. 150 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: Well, the tide shifting today because of President Trump. Justice 151 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: is finally back, and I'll say better late than ever. 152 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: And regardless of your political views, whether you're woke or 153 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: you're a Republican or your pro Israel pro Palestine, it 154 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. You have to treat people with respect. And 155 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: that's disrespectful to stop Jewish students. 156 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 5: From going to final exams. I mean many of them 157 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 5: were late. 158 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: You're destroying buildings and honestly, Joe Bob I would. 159 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 5: Have expelled them indefinitely. 160 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: They shouldn't be able to come back to school because 161 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: they're adults today. 162 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 5: They're not children. Where you slap their hands are real consequences. 163 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 5: Get the heck out of this IVY league. 164 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: Go find another school that will actually teach you some 165 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: common sense and manners.

Monica or should I call you monfather? As 285 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: your nickname would lead me to believe nicknames being thrown 286 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: around a lot today. What's going on at the White House? 287 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: And why am I bringing up nicknames? 288 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 6: Well, the Filipino President Ferdinand aka Bongbong Marcos Junior was 289 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 6: here at the White House talking to President Trump regarding 290 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 6: trade deals, regarding any sort of defense agreements with the region. 291 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 6: But yeah, when I found out that his nickname was Bongbong, 292 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 6: I was like, what is happening. I've got the email 293 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 6: the night before and it just said that this was 294 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 6: on the President's schedule, And so I did a little 295 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 6: bit of research ahead of my reporting. Why is he 296 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 6: going to be here? What's going to be on the table? 297 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 6: And they said that he's known as Bongbong. And after 298 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 6: looking into that nickname, that's just a childhood nickname. It's 299 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 6: kind of like a term of endearment that a parent 300 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 6: gives his or her child. But yeah, he's known as that, 301 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 6: and it's apparently it's caught on and people in the 302 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 6: region call him Bongbong. 303 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, Now I guess more detail wise with Bongbong. 304 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: What's going on far as tariffs go with the Philippines, 305 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: which is a big manufacturing hub of the world. 306 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, really big announcements today, Joe Bob. The Philippines has 307 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 6: now agreed to open its markets entirely to allow for 308 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 6: more US goods to be imported into the region. Zero 309 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 6: tariffs for the United States imports and nineteen percent tariffs 310 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 6: that the Philippines will pay as far as it's good 311 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 6: to be imported into the United States. So a very 312 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 6: big trade deal. We know that the Philippines has been 313 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 6: a strong ally of the United States, a very good 314 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 6: friend and partner for quite a long time. And of 315 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 6: course the President has also invited President Trump over to 316 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 6: the region for some Asian country meetings happening within the 317 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 6: coming months or so. So we'll see if the President 318 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: does take a trip over to speak with some other 319 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 6: nations in the region. But a huge trade deal, no, no, 320 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 6: none of the last year to. 321 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: Go and meet with Bongbong.

I want to start with you here. 339 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: There's an employee at the DJ that was fired, she 340 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: says because her husband started the ice block app. We 341 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: talked about that app a couple weeks ago. It's an 342 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: app where people can report sightings of ice to warn illegals. Hey, 343 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: ice is around the corner, don't go over that way, 344 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: which is you're basically fighting against the government, which is 345 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: not a good idea, but her husband has started that app. 346 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: She has also admitted that she is a minor minority 347 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: share owner in the parent company that holds the IP 348 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: for that, let's just say hypothetically that she was specifically 349 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: fired for this. How much do I care as a citizen, 350 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: especially if you have even in states like California at will, 351 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: fire can be fired for anything. I don't think. I 352 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: don't think I care all that much. What about you? 353 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 5: I don't care either? And she deserves that. 354 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 3: I mean, she got a termination notice with a side 355 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: of justice. And to thick here and think that you 356 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 3: can be part of an ice block app and still 357 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: work at the DOJ, here's the plot twist. 358 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 5: Honesty is not optional. 359 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: You actually have to do your job and defend people 360 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: when you're at the DJ. So if you have an 361 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: interest and your husband is in that back room creating 362 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: an app to attack ice officers, honey, your job is 363 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 3: on the line and you're clearly fired at well employment. Aside, 364 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 3: the fact that she thought that she could work for 365 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: taxpayers and continue to target the very people that we 366 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: should be thinking is just laughable to me. 367 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: Great point. Yeah, In tofer So, she says she claims that, well, 368 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: my work at the DOJ is is definitely unbiased, and 369 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: as if we should go, oh yeah, totally totally. You know, 370 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: you just happen to be married to a guy who 371 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: wants the invasion of the United States, But I'm sure 372 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: the work at the DOJ is totally unbiased. What are 373 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: your thoughts? 374 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 4: You know, I worked in an intelligence feel and if 375 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: they would have found out I was married to a 376 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: Chinese spire or any spire. 377 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 11: Would have been questions about my integrity and if I 378 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 11: was compromised, and they most likely would have let me 379 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 11: go or at least remove my clearance. 380 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 4: And I think that's what's happening here, is like the 381 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 4: risk is too high and to kind of wave off 382 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 4: the minority shareholder because it was put in place just 383 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 4: in case he becomes incapacitated. 384 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 2: I'm not buying it. 385 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: You work for the DJ You have access to a 386 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 4: lot of information that can aid ice block, and you 387 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 4: should be telling your husband, Hey, I have a high 388 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: level job, so you need to chill out with his activism. 389 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: I understand it's your first member right to do certain things, 390 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 4: but does not mean that you're free from the consequences 391 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 4: that come within nor am I, And you know, maybe 392 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 4: she took a lesson. 393 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: Maybe they should have take a. 394 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 4: Lesson from the Strummer CEO that we saw at the 395 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: cold place, uncertain and realized. 396 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: Oh lord, they caught me. I need to do something different. 397 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: That's how I would have felt like they would approached Mail. 398 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: I apologize, but I do wish to the best and 399 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 4: whatever they go to next. But clearly they did not 400 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 4: have a place in this Department of Justice. 401 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 12: Yeah. 402 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: I also, yeah, he went on CNN and kind of 403 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: like hyped up the app. The whole thing is ridiculous. 404 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Also to for we all caught your reference to Congressman 405 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: Eric Swallow and his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang. But 406 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: we you know, we don't want to bring that up. 407 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: We don't want to impugne anybody right here on this show, 408 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: just again reminding him that that's Congressman Eric swawall entirely 409 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: separate point this. You know, there's been so much news 410 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: circular around NPR getting defunded. Maheck, I really only bring 411 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: this on for this. The internet says that the well, sorry, 412 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm buried the lead here. NPR News chief Edith Edith 413 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: Chapin is stepping down after the congressional vote to defund NPR. 414 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: The Internet says she made three hundred thousand dollars a 415 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: year at NPR. Pretty much all of that probably, of course, 416 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: had to come from taxpayers, which great, But I thought 417 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: the article was fascinating. The NPR article says the veteran 418 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: news anchor announcement comes just days after the Republican led Congress, 419 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: largely driven by President Trump, claims of liberal bias at NPR, 420 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: voted to strip their funding. Oh, it's just the claims. 421 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: Republicans are just claiming that there's a liberal bias. Do 422 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: you think they know and or are just so ideologically 423 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: blind they think they're actually down the middle, straight shooters, 424 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: non partisan, unbiased. 425 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 5: I think they really believe their lives. And that's what's 426 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 5: terrifying about the left. 427 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: They are so extreme today that they will peddle any 428 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 3: nonsense and then double down on it. Wasn't there a 429 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: previous MPR chief that actually left stating that it wasn't nonpartisan, 430 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: that they weren't balanced. So President Trump promised transparency. 431 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 5: In the media. 432 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 3: Look, you can be on the left or the right, 433 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: but you're not going to peddle false information and lies 434 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 3: and mislead the public. 435 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 5: The fact that. 436 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: She's stepping down, she's probably gonna go to some left 437 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: wing media outlet, and she's going to get paid corporate dollars, 438 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: not our dollars. They don't belong when you're peddling this 439 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 3: type of nonsense. 440 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I think there was uri Berliner who had worked 441 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: at NPR for a for a long time and said 442 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: there's literally zero conservatives in their news room. To same question, 443 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: do you think, just overall the majority of people that 444 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: work at NPR, do you think that they think they're 445 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: being unbiased or do they know and they're just lying 446 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: about it? Because that's the other thing, too Marxist lie. 447 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: They just that's part of the whole thing. 448 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 6: You know. 449 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 2: I'm a big believer of giving someone the benefit of 450 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: the doubt. 451 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 4: But there's too much access to information these days for 452 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 4: you to remain as ignorant as I see people continuously be, 453 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: So I would say they're doing their own purpose. Matter 454 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 4: of fact, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if either 455 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: thought if the CEO had step down, I won't be 456 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 4: surprised if she ends up friending Elmo out there. 457 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 2: What he's about. President so, you know, because it's a 458 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 2: type of company. These type of people keep, you. 459 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 4: Know, they keep people that really hate Trump, that got 460 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 4: the TDS uh and they don't know what to do 461 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 4: with their emotions. 462 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: You know, they always rattled up. 463 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: But you know, she said she she was gonna do 464 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 4: this regardless, and I'm just like, yeah, so money's disappearing 465 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 4: and you was gonna do that. But I do want 466 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 4: to encourage people if you do enjoy a PR and 467 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 4: PBS and programs like that. Nothing stopping the individual person 468 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 4: for donating to these channels. 469 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 2: I remember someone brought up a good point and said, 470 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: you know, when we. 471 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 4: Used to watch these shows, they said, hey, to keep 472 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 4: keep us on air, all you got to do is 473 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: donate here. So what they're not being paid by individual donors, 474 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 4: and they've been paid by the government this entire time. 475 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: It's confusing to me, you know. 476 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: So if you like these programs, put your money where 477 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 4: your mouth is and otherwise just shut up. When we're 478 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 4: no longer pushing the craft that the leftist and socials 479 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 4: want in this country. Our children deserve better and America 480 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 4: deserve better. So yeah, nah' see you later. 481 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 2: Don't let it get people good. 482 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: I actually do listen to NPR to keep myself up 483 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: on what the libs are saying, but also to punish 484 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: myself for my sins. But I will not be donating, 485 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: so people are abundantly clear on that.

And when I started 508 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 12: having kids, my girlfriends would call me and ask me 509 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 12: questions about like do I need to do paraneal massage 510 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 12: and what do I do for birth or what do 511 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 12: I do for postpartum? And so they really coined me 512 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 12: the Vagina Whisper because I was who they would come 513 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 12: to to ask questions about their vagina. And so when 514 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 12: I started my Instagram account six or seven years ago, 515 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 12: it was for my group of girlfriends to share more 516 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 12: pelvic floor tips, and so I called it the Vagina 517 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 12: Whisper for them. And then here we are, you know, 518 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 12: many years later, with a book coming out and a 519 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 12: brand and so it's just really been exciting. And so 520 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 12: what does that have to do with pee and poop? 521 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 12: I mean, because you're because I don't know much about 522 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 12: pelvic floor, but like just that whole area and house 523 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 12: wrong it is? Can help with that? Well, your pelvic 524 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 12: floor is a basket of muscles, so physical therapists work 525 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 12: with muscles all throughout the body. I work with pelvic 526 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 12: floor muscles in the pelvic region, and these muscles sit 527 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 12: like a hammock at the base of your pelvis, and 528 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 12: they hold your uterus, your bladder which holds pea, your 529 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 12: rectum which holds poop, and they have the openings to 530 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 12: eliminate those so the opening for your into exit, the 531 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 12: opening for poo to exit, and then the vagina for 532 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 12: vaginal intercourse, menstruation, vaginal birth, and so if there's any 533 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 12: problems in that area, these muscles are likely affected. Why 534 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 12: is the pelvic floor so important to our overall health 535 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 12: for so many reasons. One, we use it all throughout 536 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 12: the day, So Alex, when we're sitting here, our pelvic 537 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 12: floor is supporting our core, it's keeping in pea and poop, 538 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 12: you know, when we go to the restroom, it's relaxing. 539 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 12: It literally is contracting and relaxing with every breath that 540 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 12: we take. And we don't really understand what it does 541 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 12: until something goes wrong with it. And I think this 542 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 12: is why I'm so passionate, is because I I see 543 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 12: women in my practice for the past eighteen years who 544 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 12: have pelvic floor problems, and all of them said, I 545 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 12: wish I would have known this sooner. Why didn't anybody 546 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 12: tell me about my pelvic floor sooner? Because there's so 547 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 12: many things we can do to proactively take care of it. 548 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 12: And so when typically in a woman's life does something 549 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 12: go wrong with the pelvic floor for the first time, 550 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 12: you know, you can experience pelvic floor issues at any 551 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 12: time in your life, whether you're having your first period 552 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 12: and you have a hard time inserting a tampon, whether 553 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 12: you become sexually active and intercourse is painful, or you're 554 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 12: not able to have an orgasm. But I would say 555 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 12: some of the primary times that it first happens is 556 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 12: during pregnancy. That is when the pelvic floor muscles, the 557 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 12: hammock that supports the uterus, starts to really stretch, and 558 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 12: this is when we see urinary leakage start occurring, weakness 559 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 12: of the muscles where your pelvic organs aren't as supported. 560 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 12: It can also lead to core weakness. There's a condition 561 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 12: called diastasisrecti when your core starts to really separate. Yeah, 562 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 12: I've seen that. Yeah, women who give birth and it 563 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 12: is like there's stomach looks loose. Yes, it looks like 564 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 12: they're still pregnant, but they're not pregnant anymore. And it's 565 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 12: unfortunate because you know, pregnancy changes the pelvic floor. Birth 566 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 12: does as well. Regardless of which method you birth Ceceyrian 567 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 12: birth or vaginal birth, your pelvic floor changes and there's 568 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 12: no rehab or recovery afterwards. Women are just sent home 569 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 12: with a baby. They maybe have a six week appointment, 570 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 12: which forty percent of women don't even attend, and then 571 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 12: their pelvic floor doesn't work for them as well anymore. 572 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 12: And that's where we see a lot of changes really 573 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 12: start to become chronic. You just said something that really 574 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 12: shocked me. Ce section moms need pelvic floor physical therapy 575 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 12: one hundred percent. Explain that. Well, So pregnancy itself changes 576 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 12: the pelvic floor. So regardless of what method of birth, Okay, 577 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 12: you know, almost fifty percent of women leak you'urin by 578 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 12: their third trimester. Almost ninety percent have low back pain, 579 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 12: which is connected to your pelvic floor. You know, almost 580 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 12: half can have pelvic organ prolapse. So even before you 581 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 12: give birth, your pelvic floor has weakened. Now post birth, 582 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 12: if you have a vaginal birth, you you typically have 583 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 12: perennial tearing where there's tissue tearing or cut at the 584 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 12: opening of the vagina that has to heal. But for 585 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 12: cesarean birth, there's scar tissue at the abdomen, and your 586 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 12: abdomen is connected to your pelvic floor. So women who 587 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 12: have a sea section can have pain with sex, they 588 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 12: can have painful menstruation, constipation, incomplete bladder empty, all because 589 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 12: of that sea section scar that's causing pelvic floor tension 590 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 12: and restriction and not relaxing well when we need it. 591 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 12: You know, the pelvic floor is connected to so many 592 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 12: parts of our body. It doesn't work in isolation. So yes, 593 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 12: sea section moms absolutely have to have PELFC therapy after birth. 594 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 12: Would it be ideal to start pelvic floor therapy before pregnancy? Yes, 595 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 12: Oh my goodness, I mean this is unfortunately not the 596 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 12: way their health care system is set up. We one 597 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 12: are working to get moms into pelvic therapy postpartum. So 598 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 12: just when you go see your doctor or midwife at 599 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 12: six weeks post birth, you should also be checking with 600 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 12: a pelvic four therapist. This is when you need to 601 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 12: check your pelvic for muscle strength, any scar tissue, any tension, 602 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 12: look at a cesarean scar a, diastasis. All of these 603 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 12: things can be addressed by a pelvic floor therapist, But 604 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 12: during pregnancy, research is very clear if you work on 605 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 12: pelvic for muscle training during pregnancy, you're less likely to 606 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 12: have problems postpartum. So you should absolutely see a therapist 607 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 12: during pregnancy, and it can help you prepare for birth 608 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 12: as well. When you say that pelvic floor therapy before 609 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 12: giving birth can help with birth, like in what ways, 610 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 12: Like it'll be easier to push the baby out vaginally. Yeah, 611 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 12: So most women don't even know what these muscles do 612 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 12: or how they work. And when you're giving birth vaginally, 613 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 12: you are you have a room full of medical people 614 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 12: under fluorescent lights yelling at you to push, push, push, 615 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 12: And if you've never learned how to relax your pelvic 616 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 12: floor muscles, you don't know how to do that in 617 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 12: that moment when there's so much pressure and performance and 618 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 12: typically medicine. You know, if you have an epidural or 619 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 12: different medications, those muscles just aren't going to work as 620 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 12: naturally as if you have an unmedicated birth. Knowing what 621 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 12: you know, did you have an unmedicated birth with your children? 622 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 12: I had two unmedicated births with my kid, because you 623 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 12: just felt like you'd have more control of your pelvic floor. 624 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 12: Because I felt like, knowing the research that if you 625 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 12: have an unmedicated birth, you're less likely to have a 626 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 12: CE section, you're less likely to have paranial trauma or 627 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 12: pelvic floor weakness, you're less likely to have postpartum complications. 628 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 12: I opted to say I want to do this because 629 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 12: I know that I think we're over using medicine and birth, 630 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 12: and I think it's a wonderful thing to have to 631 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 12: help protect babies and moms. But it's very clear that 632 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 12: it's just birth is over medicalized, and so for me, 633 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 12: and it's a personal choice for everyone. But my choice 634 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 12: was to attempt to have a vaginal birth, and I 635 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 12: had two vaginal births okay, and no peranial tearing. Interesting. 636 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 12: Doing the pelvic floor physical therapy before birth can kind 637 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 12: of help you know how to use those muscles correctly 638 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 12: to prevent the tearing then and all that that's what 639 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 12: you were saying, to minimize the risk of tearing, to 640 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 12: also empower you. I think we're sending women into birth 641 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 12: and we often give our you know, t haunting me 642 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 12: over to a medical provider and say I'm just going 643 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 12: to do whatever the doctor says, which is fine. However 644 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 12: the doctor isn't in the room meant much of the 645 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 12: time if you're in a hospital. But also it's like 646 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 12: you're going through a huge physical event and you haven't 647 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 12: trained for it. It's like going to run a marathon 648 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 12: and you don't even know how to run a mile. 649 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 5: Oh wow, I mean when you. 650 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 12: Think of it that way, you know, pregnancy is ten months, 651 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 12: birth can go on for days. Labor and birth can 652 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 12: go on for days, and so how do we help 653 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 12: educate and empower women about this part of their body 654 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 12: so that they feel more educated and informed. So what 655 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 12: we do in physical therapy prior to birth is we 656 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 12: first in the first and second trimester, we teach you 657 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 12: how to maybe modify things to prevent pelvic floor weakness 658 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 12: and core weakness, how to get out of bed, how 659 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 12: to change your workouts if you're having hit pain or 660 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 12: low back pain, different supports to use. And then third 661 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 12: trimester we really focus much more on pelvic floor relaxation, 662 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 12: teaching you how to relax the pelvic floor muscles, how 663 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 12: to push properly, different positions that you might want to 664 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 12: try to push because it's different for everyone, and to 665 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 12: give you stretches for labor and kind of going into birth. 666 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 12: So really just helping you train for this physical event 667 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 12: and then birth is going to take whatever way it's 668 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 12: going to take. It's you know, it's a spontaneous event. 669 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 12: We can't control everything, but at least you go into 670 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,239 Speaker 12: it feeling like, hey, I did everything I could to 671 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 12: try to have the best birth experience I could have. 672 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 7: How does the. 673 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 12: Pelvic floor change throughout different seasons of life. I would 674 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 12: say prior to pregnancy, it's pretty standard. You have the 675 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 12: peblvil crore muscles that are supporting you depending on your 676 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 12: activity level. So if you are a high intensity female athlete, 677 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 12: which means running, jumping, CrossFit, cheer, tennis, volleyball, you can 678 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 12: experience urinary leakage. So well, before you've even given birth 679 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 12: or had kids, you may have leakage, which is a 680 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 12: pelvic colore problem. Activity will change it. The other thing 681 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 12: we see outside of weakness is tension. I have a 682 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 12: lot of young women who again have never had kids, 683 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 12: come in and they have pain with sex, They have 684 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 12: pain with pelvic exams at the colleges, they can't insert 685 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 12: a tamp on, and they want to go to the beach, 686 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 12: and they're on their period and they you know, they 687 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 12: feel really limited in their lives. 688 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 8: Got it admire what you've been able to do, not 689 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 8: to weaponize, but to organize on these college campuses. 690 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 9: At Turning Point USA.

But first I got check to the 721 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: email to address something that I think is actually very important. 722 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: Now. 723 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: The emailer sent a complaint. The thing is, I agree 724 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: with the complaint, and unfortunately I think there was a 725 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: misconception of what it is that was happening on the show. 726 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: I will right now point out this is kind of 727 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: difficult I am wearing pants. These are actually rather nice 728 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: and comfortable pants. They just happen to be khaki, and 729 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, depending on your TV color might match what 730 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: my skin tone looks like underneath them. I've got probably 731 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: four or five different pants that I rotate. But the 732 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: operative thing here is that I'm wearing pants, which brings 733 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: us to this email from Kathy. Go ahead and go 734 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,439 Speaker 1: to graphic one here Glenn jobob'sttire and Joe Jobob show. 735 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that, but please ask him to 736 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: not show his bare legs against his jacket. Always wear 737 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: a polo show, basically saying wear shorts. And the thing is, Kathy, 738 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: I agree with you one percent. Actually, this is one 739 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: of my main things that it irritates me to no 740 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: end people who wear shorts publicly in the view. And 741 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: I have been guilty of this before in the past, 742 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: but I've corrected my ways. And also people that wear 743 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: shorts on a stage. If you're going to be on 744 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 1: a stage and really any capacity, you shouldn't be wearing 745 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: sports unless you're a camp counselor at a kid's summer camp. 746 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: Then fine, that's I get it. You can be on 747 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: a stage with shorts. Other than that, no, you should 748 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: be wearing pants at all times. Now, I think there 749 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: was a viewing an optical issue there, because yes, I 750 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: am wearing pants. I would never wear shorts on the 751 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: show like this. But also I can totally see how 752 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of difficult with the with the the little 753 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: title here and people seeing that. But anyways, bottom line is, 754 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: we love seeing your emails, and I just wanted to 755 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: clear that up. I would never wear shorts and just 756 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 1: have my legs out there. What self respecting man would 757 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: do that to an audience. But I do. I do 758 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: like wearing these pants quite a bit. They're very, very comfortable, 759 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: and you know that that is what it is. But 760 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: enough about shorts and onto what I think is one 761 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: of the funnier videos and I've seen in a while. Again, 762 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: send to us at our email TPT at TPUSA dot com.

You're trying 804 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: to leave the United States to go to another country. 805 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: Where else are you gonna go? And and two why 806 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,479 Speaker 1: not just move into a different city in the United States? 807 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,959 Speaker 1: There are cities in this country. Unfortunately, there are more 808 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 1: than accepting of people that have gender delusions, such as 809 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: you and probably your boyfriend or whatever the situation is. 810 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 1: There's why did you need to go out of the country. 811 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,879 Speaker 1: If you ask anybody at any period of time where 812 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 1: they would want to be born and when they would 813 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: want to be born, and I don't know if I 814 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: set that up correctly, but the answer is in the 815 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: United States today that is the best place to be 816 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: born and have the best chances of having a successful 817 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: and thriving life regardless of what life obstacles get thrown 818 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: at you. You want to be in the United States 819 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: and you want to be here. Now, this is the 820 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: best country on earth. It's the freeze country on Earth. 821 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: And I have no idea why you would be scared 822 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: for your quote unquote safety. Now, that is another thing 823 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: language wise that it needs to be addressed. People is 824 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: libs specifically try to obfuscate the language of safety and 825 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: danger and harm and violence. If you say those words 826 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: describing speech and culture and society, they mean nothing. If 827 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: you are going to say, and this person didn't exactly 828 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: say this, but this is kind of the same sentiment, 829 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: if you're going to say that while they're perpetuating violence 830 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: by saying words that I don't like, none of that 831 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: word verbage means anything anymore. Holy, cal We're pretty much 832 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: out of time, But there's a laundry list of things 833 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: that could go on to here. Just at the end 834 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: of the day, Like I said at the onset, get 835 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,439 Speaker 1: some help. We would appreciate. I would like for you 836 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: to be in a better mental headspace than the one 837 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: that you're currently in. And I think that you can 838 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: do that. I think it's possible to reverse course and 839 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: get the help that you so desperately need. Clearly, but 840 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: that is going to do it for us here at 841 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: turning point tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. 842 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: Kirk is going to take us out with a fantastic 843 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: clip from his Israel Palestine debate at the Student Action 844 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: some we will see you tomorrow, same time, saying place 845 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: God bless America. 846 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 15: Look, the recent twelve day war is literally the encapsulation 847 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 15: of the Trump doctrine of foreign policy. Donald Trump ran 848 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 15: against neo conservatism. He is not a neo conservative. That's 849 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 15: good because neo conservatism is actually really, really bad. I 850 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 15: actually have a whole chapter in my book, Israel and 851 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 15: Civilization talking about how bad neo conservatism is is chapter seven. 852 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 15: If you haven't read, you should go ahead and pick 853 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 15: up a copy. So it's really good that Donald Trump 854 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 15: opposes moralistic nation building boondoggles. Guess what Donald Trump is 855 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 15: also not and never has been since day one. He's 856 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 15: never been a hardcore isolationist. He is a foreign policy 857 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 15: nationalist and realist. We would say that he is a Jacksonian. 858 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 15: He is in the mold of Andrew Jackson one of 859 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 15: his favorite presidents of all time because he leaves in 860 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 15: generally following the very wise advice of George Washington in 861 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 15: his farewell address that you should be aware of foreign entanglements, 862 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 15: but when you are attacked, you are going to punch 863 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 15: back three times as hard. How many times has Trump 864 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 15: said that in the debate there, when he's punched, he's 865 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 15: going to punch back really, really, really hard. What happened 866 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 15: in the Twelve Day War was you had a close 867 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 15: ally Israel that through their wonderful control of the skies 868 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 15: and they're taking out the missile launchers and the IRGC command. 869 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 15: They're essentially paved a very clean runway through that and 870 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 15: they're neutralizing has Bola last year in twenty twenty four. 871 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 15: That then allowed the United States to come in with 872 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 15: the B two bombers and the death blow. It was 873 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 15: a perfect ally U for you basketball fans. It was 874 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 15: kind of like Kobe Bryant tossing it to Shaquille O'Neil 875 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,280 Speaker 15: back in the way. It was a perfect tag team 876 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 15: operation to neutralize and set back by many years the 877 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 15: threat of a regime that whether or not we care 878 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 15: to admit it has actually been at war with the 879 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 15: United States at least since the nineteen eighty three Beirut 880 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 15: Lebanon has Balla Barracks bombings that slaughter two hundred and 881 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 15: forty one marines. Thk you believe since the nineteen seventy 882 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 15: nine hostage crisis as well. Again, Donald Trump fulfilled multiple 883 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 15: canpaign promises he set back the nuclear program. Not a 884 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 15: single American soldier, sailor or marine dot. It was a brilliant, 885 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 15: brilliant move of statesmanship, a fantastical move. Frankly, it's a 886 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 15: borderline Mount Rushmore world accomplishment. 887 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 7: I would say. 888 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 9: So, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna insert myself 889 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 9: because I don't want to have to talk past each other, 890 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 9: because these conversations have a tendency to do that. So 891 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 9: I'm gonna try to. I'm gonna ask both of you 892 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 9: a critical question that both of you guys already launched. 893 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 9: Josh to you first, Dave's contention, and Dave, you can 894 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 9: correct me. I have a wrong, is that the nuclear 895 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 9: program was not a threat? Correct that it was a 896 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 9: Intel push. Would you even say that? What I'm strong 897 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 9: manning your argument Steel manning it, Josh, what do you 898 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 9: have to say to that, to the veracity of the 899 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 9: claim that there was an imminent threat of Iran getting 900 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 9: a nuclear bump that is a core point of Dave's argument. 901 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 9: Than Dave, I'm gonna throw back an equally difficult question 902 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 9: for you, Josh. 903 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 15: So I profess agnosticism as to the imminage nature Charlie, 904 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 15: because I have not seen the reports, neither no other 905 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 15: as Dave. Literally no one in this room has actually 906 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 15: seen the report. So I do not know literally what 907 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 15: the exactly imminent nature of the threat was. It would 908 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 15: be impossible for me to say, I'm not going to 909 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 15: bullshit you and pretend like I know, because I simply 910 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 15: don't know. What I can say is the following. Iran 911 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 15: has transparently and obviously been trying to acquire a nuclear 912 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 15: weapon for two and a half three decades. We know 913 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 15: this for approximately one to two million different reasons. Among 914 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 15: them that we can point to is that the IAEA, 915 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 15: the International Atomic Energy Administration, which is essentially the nuclear 916 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 15: watchdog for the Unite Nations, they have been sounding the 917 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 15: alarm about this, and they have said very loudly and 918 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 15: clearly that Iran has blocked their inspectors from going to 919 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 15: inspect their enriched uranium, and that they have concluded over 920 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 15: the over recent years, especially including recent months, that Iran 921 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 15: is enriching uranium at a much quicker rate into a 922 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 15: much higher percentage and rate of enrichment than any civilian 923 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 15: program would ever justify. By the way, the notion that 924 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 15: Iran even needs a civilian program in the first place, 925 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,040 Speaker 15: I think is kind of bonkers. Is one of the 926 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 15: most petroleum, oil and gas rich countries in the world, 927 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 15: so that's kind of a bit of a red herring 928 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 15: in and of itself. But we know from a million 929 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 15: different international organizations that they have been doing this, and 930 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 15: Charlie more to the points again, you know, Dave likes 931 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 15: to say, oh, they just chant death to America, which 932 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 15: they do. They literally chanted every single day in their 933 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 15: Potempkin parliament, but they actually do act on it. They 934 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 15: killed hundreds and hundreds of American soldiers on the roadside 935 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 15: of Fallujah, Alambar Province during a rock with Kasaim Sulimani 936 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 15: supplied IEDs. 937 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 7: They have killed. 938 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 15: Americans going back to the two hundred forty one Marines 939 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 15: in Bairu Lebanon by the way, the Hasbologi hottists who 940 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 15: organized that operation to slaughter those Marines in Babirut Lebanon 941 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 15: in nineteen eighty three was manned by the name of 942 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,720 Speaker 15: Fuad Shakur. The US State Department had a five million 943 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 15: dollar bounty on his head following the nineteen eighty three 944 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 15: slaughter of the Marines there in Beirut. He went alive 945 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 15: for forty one years. You know who killed him? Last year, 946 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 15: the IDEF Israel took out this guy that the State 947 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 15: Department had a five million dollar bounty out for forty 948 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 15: one years for killing two hundred and forty one of 949 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 15: our boys back in nineteen eighth. 950 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 9: So I'm gonna now ask Josh. I'm going to a 951 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 9: really tough follow up for you. You do not want Iran 952 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:07,320 Speaker 9: to get a nuclear weapon? 953 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 7: Bad? 954 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 9: Would you if it ever took, if it if it 955 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,359 Speaker 9: required US troops on the ground, would that be worth 956 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 9: a ron not getting a nuclear weapon? 957 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 15: Charlie, with respect, I reject the premise. I simply do 958 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 15: not think it does. 959 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 9: Actually, I know it's a hypothetical, but it's worth thinking about. Okay, Dave, 960 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 9: I got to ask you tough questions now, Yeah. 961 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 7: My guy, I want to respond to some of this 962 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 7: stuff because. 963 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 9: All of that you will, you will hold on. I 964 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 9: I don't want us to talk past each other. Else 965 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 9: we're gonna spend all this time on prime ministers in 966 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 9: two thousand and two that the audience doesn't know about it, but. 967 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 7: He's making claims about like something. That's just enough I 968 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 7: want you to get to. 969 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 9: I want to just ask a very simple question from 970 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 9: your perspective, because I just asked the tough one to Josh, 971 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 9: is are you okay or do you think we should 972 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 9: do anything to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bond? 973 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 6: Uh? 974 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 7: Anything? Sure? Yeah, there's lots of things I think we 975 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 7: should do. 976 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 9: And military action ever justified? 977 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 16: Well, so again this is yes, there are times when 978 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 16: military action is justified. But if you're saying what we 979 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 16: could do to prevent around from getting a nuclear weapon, 980 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 16: what we were doing. Donald Trump was in negotiations with them, 981 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 16: and I think he should have continued those. And the 982 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 16: truth is that the big problem with the JCPOA that 983 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 16: Obama got us into was that there were sunset provisions. 984 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 7: They opened up a whole new inspections regime. 985 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 16: It is not true that the IAEA is saying that 986 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 16: Iran was about to get a nuclear weapon.
