WEBVTT - A Cat With A Neck Tie?! 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.800 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:17.320 and Getty, and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.640 The Ittems two reached two hundred and fifty two thousand, 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.480 seven hundred and fifty six miles from Earth, or, as 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.319 The New York Times helpfully put it this morning, if 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.440 you took twenty two inch docksons and laid them nose 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.440 to tail, you'd need seven hundred and twenty eight million 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.879 dogs to cover the distance. If you took one of 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.240 the docksoons on a brisk three mile per hour walk, 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.840 you'd need to walk for more than eighty four thousand 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:56.040 hours to get there. Man, Americans will do anything to 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.560 not use the metric system. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:05.319 Wow, Colbert re embracing being funny. That's a good joke. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:10.760 I've never quite understood why everybody thinks that's a better 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.440 way to give you an idea of distance. That's if 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.640 you stacked pancakes, you'd take eight trillion pancakes. Cat can't 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.720 wrap my head around that. That doesn't help me any 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.279 more than miles. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.520 Right, more than eight I just get dizzy to eat pancakes. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.280 It is funny. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.560 If you laid dollar bills and ten stretched around it, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.920 We'll do anything to avoid the metric system. That's pretty funny. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:35.120 That is really funny. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.480 Hey, come up, here's your latest update. We'll get to 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.520 this later. What's going on with the ceasefire? Iran has 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.120 halted traffic in the straight of horse moves, according to CNN, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.480 and Trump has said no fire and on Hesbela is 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.760 not part of the piece deal. That's a completely separate thing. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.200 So he's on board with Israel attack and Hesbela, which 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.240 to me means this ain't going anywhere. But we'll see 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.440 coming up at the bottom of the hour. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:04.800 A truly powerful gender bending madness update. I'll present this 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:11.040 without comment. Colorado's free healthcare program for illegal immigrant pregnant 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:17.320 persons and children costs seven times more than budgeted. There 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.799 you have it, all right, all right, So this is 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.280 an interesting story and kind of inspiring in a way. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.840 I think maybe you first need to understand the way 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.240 this uh. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.679 This computer hack. It's a college student who stopped a massive, 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:44.200 massive computer disaster. Hack hackers hackers. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:49.960 Hate hacks has to do with residential proxy networks, and 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.280 there are dozens of companies around the world that run 0:02:52.320 --> 0:03:00.000 these networks that are made up of your phones, computers, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:05.960 video players. Their processing power is sometimes you sign up 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.000 for this, many many times you don't. Is used like 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.679 in the dark of the night by res proxy companies 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.840 that rent out access to Internet connections on the devices 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.000 to customers who want to look like they're surfing the 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.320 Internet from a genuine home address. It's kind of similar 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:27.960 to a what do you call it, but it's abused 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.040 like crazy around the world. 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.200 I didn't know that. So one of the many books 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.800 I've read about AI, one of their worst case scenario 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:40.080 chapters was AI harnessing all the power in all our 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.600 computers and everything like that, right in a way that 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.920 I never didn't know as possible or none that thought of. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.720 But I didn't know companies already do that. Yeah, that's 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.200 a great illustration of what that is. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:54.680 Yeah, indeed, So, so you want that anonymity. It's useful 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.720 for people who want privacy, or for companies that want 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.960 to masquerade as regular people to test out Internet feed 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.080 for instance, for a particular region, or scrape the web 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.160 for data. AI companies use the networks to get around 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.040 blocks on automated traffic so they can gather large amounts 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.160 of data to train their models. And then there are 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.080 customers who want to hide their identity because they're ticket scalping, 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.600 defrauding banks, calling in bomb threats, stalking, child exploitation, hacking, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.679 or espionage. So in other words, it can be legit, 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.680 but it is just abused like crazy by really evil 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:31.960 So that primer aside, or do you say primmer? You 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.560 got this college student at the Rochester Institute of Technology 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.719 in Rochester, New York, Benjamin Brundage, It sounds like a 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.919 character in a movie. He was closing in on a 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.680 mystery that even seasoned Internet investigators had left them baffled, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.040 and a cat meme helped him crack the case. So 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.200 a network of hack devices was launching the biggest cyber 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:01.840 attacks ever seen on the Internet, biggest one ever. It 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.839 had become the most powerful cyber weapon ever ever assembled, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.240 large enough to knock a state or even a small 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.479 country offline, and investigators didn't know exactly who had built 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.320 it or how. And Brundage, she was a tech student 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.280 and a computer whiz, had been following the attacks to 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.920 between classes and was conducting his own investigation and In September, 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.640 the college senior started messaging online with an anonymous user 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.720 who seemed to have more knowledge than a person ought 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.240 to have about the attack, as they. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.480 You're close to getting to a portion where you could 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.479 just start quacking or barking and I would understand it 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:46.080 as well, what's going on here? We need a young 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.800 person to explain this story to Jack stat. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.119 Okay, So anyway, college kids aware of this giant super 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.480 cyber attack and is intrigued. I want to know how 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.400 they did it too, or how they were about to 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.120 do it. So he's chatting on discord with a bunch 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.840 of you know, hackers and programmers and computer whizzes, and 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.720 he comes across a guy you've seen a. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.840 Human who wait a minute, how does he know that? 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.040 Brundage started to think, but he didn't want to come 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.440 He wanted more information because he thought I'm onto something, 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.840 but he didn't want to come off as too serious, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.160 so he shut down the conversation. Then, every now and 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.040 and then he'd send a funny jiff to lighten the mood, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:34.080 including a cat's owner adjusting a necktie on a cat. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.520 Just hilarious. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:42.880 This guy's this brandage chap his savvy, his emotional intelligence 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.680 is what really impressed me about this. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.520 He'd think a cat with a necktie. I know these 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:50.560 are odd times. 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:56.320 Cats are so formal, but if things were starting to 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.440 get serious, he'd say, I gotta go. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.400 He'd cut it off. Then he'd send a cat freaking 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:03.240 gift for Jeff. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.760 Brundage was fluent in the memes, jokes and technical jargon 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.200 popular with young gamers and hackers who are extremely online. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.680 He says quote, it was just a bit of just 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.960 asking over and over again, then being like a bit unseerious. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.000 At one point he asked for some technical details. He 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.320 followed up with a cat meme, a six second clip 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.000 that showed a hand adjusting a necktie on a fluffy 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.080 gray cat. Brundage didn't expect it to work, but he 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.680 got the information. It took me by surprise. He said 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.320 that the cattle wedding to go to. It's not clear 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.800 to me, but the cat is wearing both the black 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:42.680 necktie and a white collar. Eventually, the leaker hinted that 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.680 there was a new vulnerability on the Internet. Brundage, who 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.080 was twenty two, would learn it threatened tens of millions 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.080 of consumers and as much as a quarter of the 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.280 world's corporations. As he unraveled the mystery, impressed veteran researchers 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.240 with his findings, including federal law enforcement, which took action 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.480 against the network a couple of weeks ago. A researcher 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.040 at a giant computer company that does this sort of 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.560 thing joked at one point that the entire Internet could 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.680 go down if Brundage spent too much time studying for 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:10.400 his exams. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.240 Wow. Wow, so savvy as that kid. Someday the whole 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.480 Internet's going to go down, or all of airlines know, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.840 a major, major attack somewhere in the world, all over 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.880 the world, and it might be China, or as Trump 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.560 famously said, some three hundred pound guy in his basement 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:35.080 just knows how to do it. Yeah, especially given the nature. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:40.120 Of this, the adjoining together of the devices that I 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.400 was talking about, the residential what do you call it. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.440 It was a couple of years ago that Nokia's sensors 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.480 had picked up a series of increasingly powerful cyber attacks 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.839 coming from devices that hadn't previously been considered dangerous, called 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.880 a distributed denial of service or d DOOS attacks. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:57.640 We've all heard of those. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.360 I think there were massive floods of junk Internet data 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.320 designed knock websites offline by overwhelming the data pipes that 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.840 connected them, sometimes launched by extortionists or even business rivals, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.640 but Nokio saw hundreds of thousands of devices joining in 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.640 these attacks. One unprecedented attack leader in the year on 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.840 internet service provider cloud Fair was quote comparable to the 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:24.360 combined populations of the UK, Germany and Spain all simultaneously 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.120 typing a website address and then hitting enter. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.320 At the same second. Wow. Yeah. 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.840 The network, which would become known as kim Wolf, which 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.480 sounds like an anime cartoon for adolescent girls, seemed to 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.760 be using residential proxy connections to launch its attacks, giving 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.760 it the potential to do massive damage. The basic message 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.119 was be afraid, said one computer expert. Anyway, craziness. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.920 I've got a chat GBT being sued over something. Another 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.640 one of those kind of stories, this time around a 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.000 school shooter who may have got advice from chat GBT 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.319 on how to pull off a school shooting. Right, did 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.440 that happen or not? And you got the gender bending madness. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:10.600 We had a lot this hour. I hope you can 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:19.160 stick around. So Trump with a true social post just 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.400 a few minutes ago that might help explain what's going 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.600 on with the confusion, because a lot of the things 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.480 being said about the supposed cease fire deal don't add up. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:39.600 So something doesn't something doesn't square right. So Trump posted 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:46.280 this and I have lost it. Well, that is unfortunate. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.080 I will find it in seconds to you. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.040 Yet another kink in the quest for peace. Jack's misplacing 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.080 of the annalymis. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.920 Trump said just a few minutes ago. Numerous agreements, lists, 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.960 and letters are being sent out by people that have 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.080 absolutely nothing to do with the USA Iran negotiations. In 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.480 many cases, they are total fraudsters, charlatans, and worse. I 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.920 don't know what's worse than a fraudster or charlatan, or 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.839 what the difference between those two things are. They will 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.120 be rapidly exposed after our federal investigation is completed. There 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.880 is only one group of meaningful points that are acceptable 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.720 to the United States, and we will be discussing them 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.360 behind closed doors during these negotiations. In other words, that 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.360 you know, all the stuff that you're hearing about, this 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.520 is Iran's plan and this is ours plan. They don't 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.000 match up everything, Trump saying that's not true. You're hearing 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.319 all this kind of stuff and it's crap. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.719 But they'll be negotiating something behind closed. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.920 Doors, and Hegzev said early or Iran's lying about all 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.480 kinds of different things. So I. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.079 My guess would be on this is that there are 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.640 separate groups. We're dealing with some group that thinks that 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.280 they're in charge in Iran, and there's some other group 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.520 that doesn't agree with that group in Iran, different power 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.920 center that's putting out all this information. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.240 To try to blow up the deal. Yeah, that'd be 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:03.760 my guess. Yeah. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.439 I think the bottom line is there's just so much 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.120 uncertainty and so much conflicting information. The best you can 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.280 do is lay out these few possibilities might be happening, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:14.920 but it's impossible to choose a favorite. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.600 We just don't have enough info. Came across this the 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.800 other day. I thought it was interesting in terms of 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.680 the world in war and that sort of thing. Most 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.040 of my life it was a fact that the United 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.640 States spent more on its military than every other country 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:36.079 in the world added together, which was always a stunning 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.480 fact to me. That is how you end up with 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.400 the being the supreme power on planet Earth when you've 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.000 spent more on your military than any other country added together. 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.040 When I was originally thinking about that, learning about that 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.600 when I was much younger, it was about the understanding 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:59.080 that Europe lives off of our military, so they don't 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.960 have to, right. But China started spending more money on 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.840 their military, so that is not any more completely true. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:11.360 But next year's budget, if we go through with the 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.920 twenty twenty seven budget, it will once again we will 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.360 be spending more on our defense than every other country 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:22.200 in the world added together, including China and Russia. That's something. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.240 Is that what we need to do to continue to 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.520 have the dominance that we have. I don't know who knows, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.959 all right, it's a great question. Don't forget a lot 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:37.080 of those defense dollars go to keeping the economic might 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.960 of the United States intact because there's a rules based 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.760 international order more or less, more or less about as 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.880 best as you can get or hope for the entire 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.800 world other than us, this year spent one point one 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.800 six trillion dollars, little over a trillion dollars. We spent 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.600 nine hundred and twenty one billion, little under a trillion dollars, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.160 which is stunning, and China makes up about a quarter 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.560 of a trillion. Lot of countries they're incredible spending. Lately, 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.200 it's still that much less. A lot of countries just 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.160 do not spend that much money on defense. And because 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.520 I'm re listening to this book about when Eisenhower was president, man, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:18.160 he really you know his famous speech that he gave 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.320 going out the door about the beware of the military 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.280 industrial complex. He really really is a guy had been 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.040 in the military his whole life and run it at 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:31.760 the highest level. Did not trust the Pentagon to not 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.000 always present the worst case scenario and try to convince 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.840 legislatures that we absolutely got to have this weapon, give 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.920 us the mind because you know, it's the only thing 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.240 that's keeping us from the Soviet Union overrunners. And I 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.840 fully didn't trust the generals to not give him the 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.800 straight scoop on that sort of stuff all our Congress service, Senator. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.440 Oh yeah, of course he didn't trust the politicians, but 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.840 he also didn't trust the generals to not be honest 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.280 with him. Yeah. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.640 Wow, that's the great pushing pull of warfare. There's always profiteering, 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.920 always well, and yet not all war exists to help 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.640 the profiteers, as some people would have you believe. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.280 Right, Yeah, man, figuring that out as a democracy, how 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.400 hard is that? Because you'd have people in the Pentagon, generals, whatever, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.240 who fully believe you need this expensive weapons program, who 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.560 think we probably don't need this, but it'd be better 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.880 to have it than not. And then people that absolutely 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.560 know we don't need this program, but you know, my 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.840 home district cares about it or whatever, and everything in between. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.240 I'm not how you deal with that. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.240 So, getting back to the total expenditure on the military, 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:45.120 what's the dollar cost of No, it's a currency. Sometimes 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.400 there's a principle in economics I can never remember for 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.200 some reason, and I've got a mental block, but that 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.920 one thousand dollars in China buys you the same thing 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.920 as four thousand dollars in the United States, and their 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.960 wages are one quarter, but their buying power is roughly 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.720 equal if you measure it in this way. So it 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.520 could just be that everything's more expensive in the US, 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.720 including our armaments. I don't know exactly, because it's an 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.800 international market. I have a feeling there's something in there, 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.520 but I'm too old and lazy to relearn all those 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:22.320 formulas they tried to teach me. Second note, there's an 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:28.040 opinion piece written by Gillian Melchior, who what's her credential? 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.960 London based member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:38.600 She went along with a NATO drone war exercise in 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:46.480 Estonia and came away thinking, we're making progress, but we 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:52.320 are nowhere near ready, especially the European militaries. And what 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.320 I was going to say earlier was, you know, they 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.920 depended on our security dollars, our military spending to protect them, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.440 and what really pisses me off is that they spent 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.640 those savings on the magic beans of socialism and net 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.560 zero climate crap, and now they're helpless. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.320 I hope we're spending our pentagon dollars wisely. We got 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.520 some damn shocking stuff for you next, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.000 Why I keep our eye on the ceasefire. If anything happens, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.159 we'll let you know. Still a lot, a lot, a 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:26.080 lot of unknowns. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.680 But first, it's a gender bending madness update. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:37.800 So I kept hearing about this thing called the loco. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:45.880 We're a brave world, first of all, just a brief mention. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.800 That's as I said earlier today. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.240 The forces of neo Marxism postmodernism haven't paused a bit. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.600 They're forging ahead. They're trying to grow all this stuff. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:59.840 They're just hiding it better. Here's the University of Southern California. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:05.280 As a new initiative they're using men will be barred 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.040 from using parts of an on campus gym to make 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.840 women and non binary gym goers feel more comfortable while 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:16.199 working out. The Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment push for 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.560 the new rules in partnership with the Lion Center, a 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.040 recreational facility controlled by the university. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.480 See a ban one of the two sexes from being 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:31.720 in the gym to help the third through fiftieth versions 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.680 of genders. 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.119 Yeah yeah, you got a combination of real women and 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.560 fake women saying I'm not comfortable working out among a men. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.760 So okay, all right, super great. And then you've got 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:48.880 this human, a woman I believe, who is presenting as 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:49.520 a man. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:55.720 A Leish Kazlowski is a Minnesota state representative arguing against 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.840 a bill in Minnesota that would bar boys from competing 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:01.000 in girls' sports. 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:02.760 If you've been in. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.359 A coma, or we're in a cave, or perhaps Apollo 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.520 mission and just getting back to words, Yes, some states 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.360 let boys play in girls sports if they claim they're girls. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.560 Here is the representative. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.400 Talking about how gender binary was brought to these lands. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:22.440 Gender binary is a colonial export and not an immutable 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:29.000 global truth. We do exist and have existence, time and 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.480 memorial simple facts. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.880 It's a simple fact colonial thing. Okay, wow, Settler colonialism. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.200 It's the gender binary is part of that. That's actually 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:41.800 how the whole neo Marxist thing works. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.320 It's you just claim each one is the other one, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.520 and it's all a web of horrors and you've got 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.320 to be against all of it, the eternal omnik cause 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.800 I wish you luck with your imagined view of the universe. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:20:01.040 So on a less humorous note, this is a a 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.040 young man by the name of Johnny Skinner, and we 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.399 will let you tell his story. Is actually testifying in 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.680 front of the California Legislature, interestingly enough, trying to bring 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:18.200 some sanity to blue state activism, trying to twist troubled kids' 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.240 minds and convince them that your problem isn't that you're autistic, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:26.560 or you're sexually assaulted, or you just a misfit, you're alienated, whatever, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.480 Maybe you have some mental illness problems. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:29.680 That's not your problem. 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.120 The problem is you're the wrong sex, and we're gonna 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.359 help you here at school. We have somebody you'd like 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.560 to talk we'd like you to talk to, and let's 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.119 not tell your mom and dad about it. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:44.240 So Johnny Skinner is testifying against that? Or yeah, against that? 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.920 Go ahead, Michael, good afternoon. My name is Johnny Skinner. 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:51.919 I'm here representing jenspect. When I was young, I was 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.920 a feminine child and I discovered trans influencers online. They said, 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.199 change your body and your life gets better. Don't and 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.879 it gets worse? Or is my doctor told my mom 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:05.080 I would commit suicide. The medical and mental health providers 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.200 didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.960 They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:15.159 puberty and messing with my development. The result, I'm a 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.040 twenty three year old gay man who's never had an 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.960 orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in. 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:25.320 And he goes on. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.679 I was rendered an orgasmic because once you say you 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.440 could be trans, that's a full stop. No exploration as 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.280 to why is allowed, even if you are a struggling kid. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:40.920 The former president OFWPATH, doctor Marcy Bauers, the California surgeon 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.200 who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at seventeen, 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.040 admitted on video that puberty blockers followed by cross sex 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:53.640 hormones results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. Spin nine 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.560 thirty four guarantees that more people will end up like me, 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:58.880 the walking but wounded. 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.199 By the way, if you haven't seen this video with 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:05.360 a Scott Wiener standing there watching this poor guy, talk 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:10.560 to him, dude, explain yourself. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.679 Sick, perverse Scott Wiener, Yeah, one of the worst people 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.119 in governments, certainly, mister Skinner goes on. 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.640 I could have been spared all of this if any 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.679 of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric. 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.120 But they never did. They only led me to hate 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.520 my body more. The Supreme Court just ruled in a 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:34.360 rare bipartisan decision that laws like this our unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.400 This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.359 to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:43.439 irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:47.359 sexual function. As is the same for many others. So 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.520 today I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.240 like me and vote no for this bill. Thank you. 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:57.800 Right, as I've said before, I know a therapist who 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.840 says she has talked a number of young people out 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:05.240 of going down the trans road quite quickly and easily. 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:10.240 And she knows other therapists who immediately you're off to 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.880 the doctor. Yeah, just you know, you don't you don't 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.960 even question that it could possibly be anything other than 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:19.679 trans And let's start the medical stuff. 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.560 And as we discussed in the way the Supreme courtoral 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:29.000 arguments the other day and the ruling the the activist 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:34.160 transgender crowd call even sayings to what, like what your 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.679 therapist friend would say, why don't we talk about the 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.280 other things going on in your life and what's troubling 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:43.240 you and maybe hold off on a minute for the 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.040 transgender thing, and just let's talk. They call that conversion 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:52.800 therapy and outlaw California is trying to keep it outlawed. 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:55.400 Even getting to the bottom of. 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.640 It's autism. You're a victim of something, it's a mental 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:05.119 heal problem. Whatever they're trying to outlaw that. It's beyond sick. 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:09.119
