WEBVTT - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, TORNADOES AND TRANS 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:09.239 Well, what's up and good evening, Episode ten here of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.520 the Rogue Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin here with nothing 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.600 but sunshine and rainbows. Just kidding. I'm not here with 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.919 any of that. In fact, it's been raining NonStop. I 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:19.560 know I'm obsessed with the rain. I talked about that 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.520 a few episodes ago, but it really is a lot. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:23.560 But I am here to talk about some of the 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.720 really upsetting things that are going on. Obviously, we had 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.720 two staffers at the Israeli Embassy murdered by a Free 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.200 Palestine asshole last night. If you're listening to this, I'm 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.279 recording this on Thursday, May twenty second, and they were 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.239 murdered in cold blood. Just came out after the you know, 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.520 seeing the museum, a week away from getting engaged, and 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.000 I cried when I saw it, I really did. I cried. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.440 And you look at these Free Palestine lunatics. They are violent, 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.800 they are cruel, they have a mob mentality, they operate 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.920 that way, and everybody's so afraid in our government to 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.320 say what it really is. I'm not afraid. I'm not 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.760 afraid at all. These people come anywhere near me, my children, 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.160 my family, I will fight them till every last breath 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.360 is left in my body. Your decision to go out 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.560 into the street to block traffic, to block police, to 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.480 block emergency vehicles, to not allow people to get into 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.440 their school, their libraries, to not allow to exert their 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.480 free will while you're exerting yours. That's not what freedom 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.920 of expression is in America, and quite frankly, it's the 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.679 only place where you do have it these days, and 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.520 so it's being abused. Not only that, it's being abused 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.759 by people who hate the country. I'm a big fat 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.480 Foe believer, always have been, always will be. A big 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.800 fan of that acronym actually allows me to say a 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.720 lot of things without having to say those things, if 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.640 you know what I mean. I'm just not about it. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.480 I'm really not, and I'm done with trying to understand 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.320 the plight of X, Y and Z people. And here's 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.600 a tip for you. The people of Palestine are screaming 0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.880 not about Jewish people. They're screaming about Hamas to get 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:06.600 Hamas out of their land. They're starving, Their children are unclothed, unfed, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.640 they have no water, they have no medical and those 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:15.040 that do are people of means. All those countries Egypt, Jordan, Turkey. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.680 You don't see them taking in any of these people. 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.079 They've built walls up all around themselves. So I say, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.960 let's take all the Free Palestine folks and send them 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.640 over to Gaza to be with the ones they love. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.680 Go take a look, all of you, LGBTQ. I love 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.680 to express myself. I need to be heard. Go ahead over, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.720 take a look at what's really going on, and stay awhile. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.799 Then come back and tell me how terrible it all 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.200 is and how oppressed you are here. Oh and don't 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.000 forget to scream Free Palestine while you're there, because I 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.239 know they love that, because you're really making a difference. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.320 And now, because of the violence that your group projects, 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.960 you've taken the lives of two innocent people who didn't 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.600 do anything to deserve that. Here's what's there's people already 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:06.360 speaking out and saying disgusting, horrible things. There's a professor 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.600 at UPEN and it just upsets me right because I'm 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.560 from Pennsylvania. I don't know what's going on in the 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.880 water in Philly. It's a hot mess. But there is 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:19.760 an organizer of the Upen Palestine Writes Literature Festival who 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:24.000 is telling people to go out and copycat Elias Rodriguez's 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.520 murders and says, quote, no genocidal Zionists should be safe 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.799 anywhere in the world. Really, Okay, well, how about you 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.240 go back to wherever it is that you believe you 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.280 would be safe and you could really help these people, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.280 because I'm pretty sure it's not from your comfy office 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.440 at you Pen. And I have no idea what's going 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.880 on at you Pen, And I don't know why they 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.080 would support this or allow this, but I think we 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200 need to call for her to be fired. Go go 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.880 somewhere else. Why don't you go, you know, won't you 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.320 go join the ranks of Hamas I hear they're really 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.880 favorable of women. You'll do great, Susan. It's just really infuriating. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.800 And speaking of infuriating, there was a terrible, terrible tornado 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:10.000 in Saint Louis and the emergency management chief did not 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.960 sound the siren. And she's got really interesting reasons why, 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.599 none of which really makes sense. But I'll read to 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.280 you a little bit about this and then I'll let 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.200 you hear her for yourself, and you tell me. Saint 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.080 Louis's emergency management chief has now been placed on leave. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.799 The person you're about to hear, the city's mayor, spoke 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.919 about this and said, you know, they were supposed to 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.440 sound this siren during the tornado, and because they failed 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:39.800 to notify their community ahead of the deadly twister, people died. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.679 So Sarah Russell, who was the commissioner of the City 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.520 Emergency Management Agency in Saint Louis, is on paid administrative leave. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.640 I always love that when people screw up royally and 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.919 they still get paid. I have no idea who created this, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.880 but yeah, sounds great. Let's keep paying you for because 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.640 you know you cause five deaths. But now they're trying 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.919 to figure out what happened. So five people died, many 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.560 others were injured, and it's one of the worst storms 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.080 in the history of Saint Louis. Here's what's interesting. Take 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.320 a listen to what this person said. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.960 The SAMA office is very small, and the majority of 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.440 the time we work closer to business hours unless the 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.480 need arises, such as what we're doing now or special events. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.320 A lot of that work takes us out into the community, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.599 so we aren't necessarily in our office space at all times. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.760 We do have a very small staff. I have received 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.680 reports of people that did hear it. I've heard from 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.359 a lot of people that said they haven't heard it. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.320 So she says, if you could have your emergency events 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.279 storing office hours, she'll be sure to help you. The 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.359 problem here is, Sarah, this tornado, guess when it happened 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.320 between two thirty and two fifty in the afternoon. So 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.680 if your office hours pretty much anywhere in the world 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.359 are between eight and four, nine and five, you're totally screwed. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.280 So this excuse does not work. And I just don't 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.880 know why she just can't come out and say, hey, guys, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.800 I'm really sorry. I screwed up and I didn't hit 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.359 the button, and it's because I wasn't at work that 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.599 day because nobody was paying attention to the emergency services 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.680 office and I was able to go out and have 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.480 a late lunch or whatever the stupid reason is, because 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.440 you know that's what it's gonna be. But the idea 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.640 that five people die, And her answer is that her 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.480 office is small and they stick to normal hours unless 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.640 there's a special event or something like this. What people 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.599 are so quick to worry about themselves, what they're doing, 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.360 how they're doing, and not about what they should have 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.800 been doing or should be doing now this person, I 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.840 hope that they don't get this job back. I hope 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.320 that Saint Louis and This mayor really hold her to 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.760 task because five people died because you know that tornado 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.039 just happened to happen during office hours when she wasn't 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.520 in her office. So I'll leave that there. You guys, 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.800 talk amongst yourself, see what you think. But that just 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.279 infuriates me when people just can't own their own stuff. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.280 And then you have these high school kids that are 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.640 doing more than owning their own stuff. Right, You've got 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.479 these kids, these female athletes, and we've heard so many 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.160 of them, right, We've talked to so many people, whether 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.720 it's you know xxx y with Jennifer Say, whether it's 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.840 you know, Cla Lee, whether it's Paula Scanlon, whether it's 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.960 Riley Gaines. It's just infuriating to see these young women, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.680 their whole lives work towards a goal of reaching the 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.400 championships or getting scholarships to college and not getting first, second, 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.800 or third place because they got some dude dressed up 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.320 like a girl winning all of these medals. And then 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.880 you've got a bunch of adults standing around going, oh, yeah, 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.520 that's fine, It's totally fine. It's trans. You know what 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.600 I want to see. This is my idea. I hope 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.960 you guys agree with me. I would love to see 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.600 a trans team. Let all of the trans people compete 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.920 against each other. Girls that are boys, boys that are girls, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.680 the she hers, the he, he's, the day, they's, whatever 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.240 they want to be called. Let them all compete against 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.200 each other, and then leave the people that I don't know. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.080 Look at biology and science, which was super popular during 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.880 COVID and has seemed to fallen out of grace. You know, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.960 let's let those people will work together and the x 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.720 wis we'll stay together, and we'll do things the way 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.120 God intended, like, you know, participate in sports when the 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.800 girls are the girls and the boys or the boys, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.720 and then girls and boys will get married and girls 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.680 and boys will have babies. So we're just going to 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.840 do that for a little while, and the trans people 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.760 can all go do what they want to do as 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:33.079 opposed to infiltrating groups and putting kids in really awkward positions. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.560 And as of late, we've only really been talking about 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.640 the competitive side of athletics. But there's another side that 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.760 isn't really being talked about, and that's the locker room. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.320 So you've got these boys dressed up like girls in 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.200 the locker room with actual young women who are just 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.400 coming of age, probably not that comfortable with their bodies, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.600 just kind of figuring it all out, and now they 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.720 have to get changed in front of a dude. I 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.560 don't know what is going on. It's bad enough. We've 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.680 got ramp and pedophilia and abuse from our teachers and 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.160 coaches all over the country. It seems like every day 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.079 I'm reading another story about that. But now we're actually 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:15.920 we're enforcing and instituting a policy where it's okay. Why 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.199 so this young woman. These two clips I'm about to 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.040 play you are two young girls that are in high 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.640 school and they're in this Lucia mar Unified district and 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.920 they're speaking at the school board hearing, trying to get 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.520 these school board members to hear them, like really hear 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.559 them right, which I'm sure is very difficult. They're so brave, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.280 it's such a difficult thing to do. And they go 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.760 up and they're trying to talk and I'll just let 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.960 you hear what they have to say. Because it's just heartbreaking. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:46.640 It really is just heartbreaking. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.760 My name is Audrey Vanherwig. I'm a junior at Aghs 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.600 High School and I'm in varsity shop put in discus 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.240 thrower for our track team. I haven't had to throw 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.600 against a boy on the girls team, but if I did, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.320 it wouldn't be fair because men and women are biologically different. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.839 The boys throw a twelve pound shot about fifty feet, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.600 while girls throw an eight pound shot thirty five feet. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.360 That's a big difference. I strongly disagree with what is 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.280 going on in the girl's locker room and on the 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.160 girls track team, so much so that I change in 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.800 my car for track practice because I feel way more 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.600 comfortable in my car than in our own school's locker room. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.120 After coming to the last few meetings and watching teammates 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:32.280 attack a person, they attack a person they don't agree with, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.120 I wanted to speak up to support my teammate and 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.040 to protect women's sports. Thank you. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.600 So this young woman, what you're not seeing, obviously because 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.680 you're listening to me, is behind her is a boy 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.640 pretending to be a girl, wrapped up in a trance flag. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.960 It's so difficult to go up and speak your mind 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.160 when one side of the room is filled with people 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.439 your own age that are being encouraged to be confused, 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.040 and then a bunch of adults who are doing the 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.520 encouragement making faces at you and making fun of you 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.440 for wanting to protect how you were brought up to 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.400 be a young woman, to compete against fellow women and 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.199 to have fair competition. And she's explaining, like, just biologically, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.840 you know, statistically proven, men are throwing fifty feet, women 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.760 are throwing thirty five feet. It's hard to argue these things, 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.520 like they just are what they are. And if it 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.959 didn't actually occur that way, and we could all just 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.560 compete in the same way. For example, in the classroom, right, 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.640 men and women sit together, we learn together. Whoever studies 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.439 the most and is most adept at learning and retention, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.960 they're going to do better. But when they are out 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.720 in the field, you know, their bodies are built differently, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.800 and now they're just dressing up like girls, putting on makeup, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.680 fake bras, and it's the whole thing is just really 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.440 it's infuriating. But what bothers me more is that there's 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.320 a lot of parents like me that are on one 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.679 side of the room, and they're defending this young woman, 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.560 and they're there and they're supporting her. But on the 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.600 other side of the room, it's filled with all these 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.240 people who are wearing shirts like protect trans Protect, transsports Protect. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.280 But it's not transports, it's regular sports. If you want 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.199 to do transports, knock yourself out, start a league. You'll 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.040 probably make a killing. It'll be awesome. So there's another 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.240 young woman, same exact district. She's speaking out. Wait till 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.440 you hear what the chairman of this school board says 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.280 as she starts to talk. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.439 Hello, my name is Selastist. I am seventeen years old, 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.719 a junior and chock athlete out at EGHS. Most importantly, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.400 i'm a woman advocating for the renewal of female rights, 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.000 which recently has been overlooked and disregarded. I implore all 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.480 of you to help put an end to this current injustice. Recently, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.960 I went into the women's locker room to change for practice, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.760 where I saw at the end of my row a 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.080 biological male watching not only myself but the other young 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:47.960 women undressed. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.400 His experience was beyond traumatizing. I'm not sad he is 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.120 not changing in our locker room because he's in his 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.200 track clothes, dressed and ready to go to practice at 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.520 the beginning of the day. Therefore, there's absolutely no reason 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.559 for him to be in any locker room, let alone 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.680 the woman's adults like yourself made me and my peers 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.959 feel like our own comfort was invalid, even though our 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:16.400 privacy was and still it's being completely violated. The individual 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.360 who identifies as female has x y chromosomes. Biologically, this 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:26.280 makes him a male because females have xx chromosomes. This 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.920 is basic biology. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.240 Okay, please wrap it up? 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:37.679 Yeah, I just want to ask one about us. We 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.760 can all sit around and allow our rights to be 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.200 given up to cater to an individual that is a 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:47.040 man who watches woman undress and a stripping away female opportunity. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.040 That once was fought for us. Sadly, we have to 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.440 try and regain our rights again. I hope you put 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.719 effort into the restoration of our school safety. Thank you for. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:14:01.760 Speaking so how disgusting is Okay? Wrap it up? Please? 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.800 Are you joking? Was that too much for you? Her 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.079 entire speech was about ninety seconds. I probably would have 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.040 even been shorter if she hadn't gotten so upset. But 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.640 I'm sure she was nervous. You know, she's a runner, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.840 not a speaker. She's not trying to give speeches. She's 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.800 not trying to appear in front of an entire room 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.640 of adults and then stand before the school board to 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.640 defend her right to not have to get naked in 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.880 front of a young man. Is this a real thing now? 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.160 The woman who told her to be quiet, her name 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.240 is Colleen Martin, and I'm like, you're not looking at 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.320 this young girl. She's seventeen years old, coming up, scared 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.320 to death and saying, I'm really uncomfortable. This transathlete is 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:44.120 sitting in my locker room, completely dressed, not changing, not 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.160 doing anything, just watching all of us get undressed. I 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.040 gotta tell you something, if I was in a locker 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.400 room and somebody was watching me get undressed, whether they 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.520 were the same sex or a different sex, I would 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.040 have a problem with it. And I would hope that 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.640 my child would come and tell me so that I 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.240 could speak to whomever about it, because that's just weird. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.160 And I went to an old girls school, and you know, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.040 we all got changed in the locker room or whatever. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.920 But I can't even imagine if a guy came in 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.360 dressed up like a girl, and he was like, okay'm 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.800 gon to sit here and watch you take your clothes off. 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.560 I'd be like, uh no, I would that girl is 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.280 very sweet. I wouldn't have been sweet, I'll tell you 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.440 that much. I just don't know why we're putting our 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.480 kids through this. I just don't and I don't know. 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.800 I can't figure out what the endgame is, like, what 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.320 are you guys hoping to get out of this? What's 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.080 the win? Right? Why are we fighting so hard to 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.520 break everything that we fought so hard for? I mean, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.400 does anybody remember Title nine? Am I alone in this? 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.360 We work so hard to get everybody equal rights, and 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.480 now we want to have mayors like Brandon Johnson in 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.160 Chicago who only hire black people because we need to 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.920 segregate them to help other black people. And then we 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.080 want to have men and women's sports because they want 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.680 to be women, so that's what's fair. And then we 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.880 want to kill all the Jewish people because we obviously 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.000 forgot everything we ever learned about Hitler, and now we 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.120 have people saying, hi Hitler again. It's all backwards. My 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.160 mom has always told me, and I believe this to 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.120 be very true that if if you are not a 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.080 student of history, you are doomed to repeat it. If 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.600 you don't know what happened before and how bad and 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.000 how it didn't go all that well, then you're going 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.120 to make the same mistake because you're going to think, Oh, 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.480 it's a great idea, Is it really? I don't think. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.760 So I'm going to end tonight with something that I 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.680 wasn't going to talk about, but I am going to 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.040 talk about it because we were having a discussion about 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.160 this at work. So Bruce Springsteen had a concert, and 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:25.800 I'll lead with the fact that I am not a 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.120 Bruce Springsteen fan, so let's just state that at the up. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.520 But I have a real issue with people who are 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.160 actors and musicians and performers of any kind who have 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.400 a following getting political because you don't know who your 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.640 audience is. Your audience could be made up of Republicans, Democrats, men, women, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.560 you know, cats, dogs, you name it, right, they're all listening. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.520 So for you to throw yourself into a political movement 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.320 and then bring that on stage, I feel is very 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.880 unfair to your audience because you assume that everyone in 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.920 your audience thinks like you. That's not true. Music and 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.920 sports and performance of many kinds has brought people from 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.600 different sides of the aisle together for a very long time. 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.320 And that's a great thing because we may not see 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.200 eye of eye on X, but hey, when it comes 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:13.960 to this, we just kind of put it all to 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.240 the side for a little while and we sit down 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.320 and we watch a show where we listen to some music, 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.480 or we go to the game, and we're able to 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.840 just put it all behind us. But unfortunately, people like 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.119 Bruce Springsteen, and he's not alone. There's plenty of idiots 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.679 in the performance world have decided to take it on stage. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:29.920 So take a look at this. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:37.520 That won't about down to their idea logical demands. They're 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.320 removing residents off. 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:47.240 America streets and without due process of law, are rewarding 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:53.320 them to foreign detention centers at prisons. This is all 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:57.119 happening now. 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:04.280 A majority of our life and representatives have failed to 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:10.280 protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president. 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:11.080 And a robo. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.640 They have no concern. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.000 Or idea of what it means to be deeply American. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:32.200 The America that I've sung to you about. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:38.399 For fifty years is real and regardless of its faults, 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.760 is a great country with a great people. So will 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.280 survive this moment. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:50.000 Now. 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.560 I have hope. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.879 Because I believe in the truth of what the great 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.000 American writer James bad would say. 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.680 This guy standing on stage, you've got a piano player 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.840 behind him playing the somber music, saying that we are 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.880 not patriots because we want to remove people that are 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.720 resident from their homes. What he's not saying is that 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:18.119 we have eliminated illegal immigration, we have diminished human trafficking, 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:22.800 sex trafficking of women and children. We have ended the 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:27.080 car tells that took over apartment complexes like the one 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.679 we saw in Aurora, Colorado. We are changing the face 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.800 of the nation so that people who come here legally 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:38.639 and want to assimilate and integrate instead of invade, are 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.280 a part of the fabric of the country, which is 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.200 what we're about. The Statue of Liberty does not say 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.359 come on in and pillage and rape the country. It 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.399 says the message of America is a place to be free. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.159 It's not a place to be a free loader. And 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.440 I think we've lost that right. And then you've got 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.520 this idiot who's living on how many acres in a 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.720 giant mansion, and add not paying his property taxes to 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.919 the state of New Jersey because he has a bee farm. 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.280 That's right, Old Brucey likes bees, so he's got a 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.080 bunch of bees on his property. Because when you have 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.080 bees and you create honey, you get a tax right 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.800 off because you become a bee farm. And since bees 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.240 are becoming an endangered species, this is how they get 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.000 their right off. And bees obviously are a huge part 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.720 of the cycle of life, pollinating other flowers or giving 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.720 us the honey that we love. But bruce doesn't care 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.960 about any of that, not please, He cares about the 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.119 fact that his property taxes on his gajillion dollar mansion 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.960 are down to zero in New Jersey on the east coast, 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.600 where everbody else is probably paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.800 and it's him and that other idiot bon Jovi does 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.560 it too. My point in all of this is while 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.399 people want to stand on stage, what are they actually 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.000 doing in their private life? Is Brucey telling all of 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.560 the cartel members to come and live at his house. 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.840 Is he helping or starting some sort of nonprofit to 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.080 work through all of the poor women and children that 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.680 were trafficked through the open borders that his beloved Biden allowed. Well, 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.080 you know what, Bruce, you are so yesterday, And what 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.840 was so great is that after you stood there and 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.840 you bashed Trump, and you bashed Trump supporters, you fell 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.879 flat on your ass. I mean, talk about divine intervention. 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.240
