1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: Professor Wot's the sock puppet? I think it's that thing

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: you stick your hand in. Yeah, kind of like this.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: Are you going to be the president's human sock puppet?

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: Senator? Absolutely not.

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: Are you going to be anybody's human sock puppet? No,

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: so that's obvious.

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes I am. That's my plan anyway.

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: Senator Kennedy of Louisiana, who likes being that guy in hearings?

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: What what is his goal to amuse? Why are you

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: going to be puppet?

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Is that just who he is? Is that just how

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: humanity seems? Like a put on the It's just a

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: tiring act. I need a brand. What should my brand be?

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: Ah?

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: All right, well, my gosh, breaking news, Michael, breaking news,

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: donkey please, what news breaks? The donkey brays, hoping this

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: is ran a news that may or may not be true.

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: We've wiped out the civilization. Breaking news, We wiped out

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: a civilization. Every single jot and tittle, as they say. Now, ah,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: this is a single Middle Eastern source.

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: But listen to this here.

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: The IRGC commander whose name is Ahmad Vahiti. You might

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: need to remember that. Who knows, Maybe you get blowed

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: up by Newton.

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: You won't have to.

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, he essentially arrested Iran's government in the last

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Oh wow, So here's the story. Two

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: hours ago, a Saudi commentator posted in Arabic that the

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard has placed three men under house arrest in Tehran.

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: This is speaker of happened, the Speaker of the Parliament,

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: the president and the foreign minister.

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: As this guy writes, in other words, everyone in Iran

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: whose job was to return Steve Whitcoff's phone calls. Single source,

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: not yet confirmed by mainstream outlets. But if it is true,

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: it is the most important thing that has happened this month,

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: which is saying something in a month that's had a

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: naval blockade, a stray closure, and a Pentagon pizza crisis. Yeah.

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: Since the Speaker of the Parliament has been taking the

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: lead on the negotiations and making the statements, if he

44
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 3: is now under arrest by the Revolutionary Guard, yeah, that's

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: a big deal.

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: And keep in mind it could be under arrest but

47
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: still being used to make statements under the control the

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: strict control now of the IRGC. And here's what this

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: guy writes. Here's why I'm treating this as the operating thesis.

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: Everything that happened in Washington today only makes sense if

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: this happened in Tehran overnight. The Iranian delegation that was

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: supposed to fly to Islamabad never left the ground. The

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: plane carrying Witcoff and Kushner departed Miami, pointed east, and

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: then quietly turned around over the Atlantic and went to

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Washington instead. Vice President Vance's motorcad performed the same maneuver

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: at ground level. And the entire National Security Principles Committee

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: is now sitting in the West Wing at three pm

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, obviously written yesterday afternoon, which is not

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: a time anyone meets in Washington unless they absolutely have to.

60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Then he goes into a little more detail and substantiation.

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: If the arrest is real. Iran has no civilian government.

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: It has Fahdi, the IRGC, and the telephone nobody is

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: allowed to answer. Fahiti will never sign a deal because

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: signing a deal ends him and the men who are

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: not stupid, do not sign their own eviction notices.

66
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: Isn't this the most So we don't know if this

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: is true or not, but this is the most likely

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: development at some point, isn't it. I mean, if you're

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: a you either watch Mafia movies or watch Game of Thrones,

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: or you read Shakespeare or whatever. This is the most

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: likely thing to happen. Isn't it one faction or the

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: other tries to take over?

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yew.

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: This guy says the West Wing is full at three

75
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: pm on Tuesday, or when the entire Principles Committee skips lunch,

76
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: you have your answer. Pup of a VP Vance, Rubio, Hagzath, Kushner, Witkoff,

77
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: all photographed entering the White House in the last two hours.

78
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: That is the full National Security Principles Committee on a

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon in April. This is not a policy review.

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: This is not a scheduled Deputies meeting. This is a call.

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: The meeting is happening because the diplomatic track did not fail.

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: It was liquidated. The President has decided to do about

83
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: a country that just arrested the only people you could

84
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: talk to and then told its English language professor to

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: warn American sailors to evacuate their ships.

86
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: Interesting. What's the source on this?

87
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh, this guy who's a blogger but a pretty popular one,

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: is citing a Saudi Arabian commentator and writer who posted

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: this all in Arabic.

90
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: Well, that'd be quite the development. I don't know the

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: that it gets us any closer to a decent resolution

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: if the IRGC is taken over.

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: No, it just clarifies the incredibly complicated and difficult problem

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: that needs to be solved. Yeah, coming up later in

95
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: the hour, by the way, And I would like to

96
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: quote this headline because it is one hundred percent accurate

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: and important. The transgender house of cards just came crashing

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: down ended.

99
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: Now we have the evidence. Stay tuned.

100
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: So this is Iran related, but a different angle. The

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: New York Post editorial board. Americans deserve to know who's

102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: behind those suspiciously timed Iran war related trades and bets.

103
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: This is a troubling story. It's happened a couple of times.

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: The biggest one was at the beginning where Trump said

105
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: you got forty eight hours to do this or that.

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: Then he called off the dolls last minute, and somebody

107
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: or some group of people made a whole bunch of

108
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: trades around oil, clearly with knowledge of what Trump was

109
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: going to announce before he announced.

110
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: It at last notice.

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I think it's happened now three times at major turns

112
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: in the road within fifteen minutes of the official announcement.

113
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: I'll read from the wash the New York Post editorial board,

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: which is, you know, obviously very Trump friendly. Well not

115
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: obviously if you don't read their newspaper, Jack, if you

116
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: don't read their newspaper, they're a Trump friendly newspaper for

117
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: the most part, but they're very they're very honest newspaper.

118
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: In my opinion, Americans are rightly suspicious of some questionably

119
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: timed trades made during Operation Epic Fury, but federal regulators

120
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: can shed some light on them, at the very least

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: by launching an investigation to the public. Traders who made

122
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: big profits time to major news developments are anonymous, but

123
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: the regulators, like the SEC and a couple of other

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: groups have the power to invent instigate if they suspect

125
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: foul play. I mean, these you know, whoever made these

126
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: trades have addresses and phone numbers and names attached to them.

127
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: It wouldn't take a lot of work to nail down

128
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: who it was. The timing of these transitions raises legitimate

129
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: questions of insider knowledge. I think that's laughably naive to

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: even give it that much credibility that it wasn't a crime.

131
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: Clearly crimes were committed. I mean one hundred percent people

132
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: were committing crimes. President Trump has admirably sought to roll

133
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: back onerous economy stifing regulations, and accordingly, regulators like the

134
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: SEC have lightened their touch. Yet one of Trump's central

135
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: political rationales has been rooting out Biden's style corruption and

136
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: politicization in the federal government and fighting for everyday Americans.

137
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: Even the slightest possibility that people linked to the administration

138
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: or profiteering off the war will leave folks wondering, stripping

139
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: him of credibility on that and other issues, Even the

140
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: slightest possibility. I guarantee you there's not a chance in

141
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: holl not the slightest chance that a whole bunch of

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: people decided to trade oil in the right direction moments

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: before he came out and made that announcement, I mean.

144
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: Coming enormous transactions.

145
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Look, I'm in favor of a huge percentage

146
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: of what the Trump administration is doing, not everything, but

147
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a large percentage. And I have no doubt that. Yeah,

148
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: it's insider trading of the worst sort. The Trump family

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: makes the Biden family look like amateurs.

150
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: Well, okay, Joe made a strong statement, and I would

151
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: like to distance myself from him, But we don't know

152
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: who is involved in this particular thing. It might not

153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: have been with Trump's knowledge. I mean there were there

154
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: would have been quite a few people agreed, quite a few,

155
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: maybe being single digits. I mean, he could have kept

156
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: it really close to the vest. Be it still have eight, nine,

157
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: ten people in their staffs who would have known. So

158
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: it might not have been Trump orchestrating this particular one.

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but either way.

160
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: It's bad and and it should be illegal, and it's

161
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: it smells horrible.

162
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so difficult, especially around a war. Yeah, yeah, I.

163
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 3: Know makes it extra unpalatable.

164
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: But that's that's and that is the like the one

165
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: thing nobody likes to admit in DC.

166
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: No, that is the industry we're in.

167
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: Well, right, that's probably do That's probably why there hasn't

168
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: been more hue and cry about this, is that the

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: Nancy pelosis of the world.

170
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,960

175
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: everybody's radar. You know, you buy some pharmaceutical stock around,

176
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: some drug that just got approved, and nobody pays any attention.

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: Right Ryan or vice versa. Sure? H.

00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: common it is in congress, pardon me, excuse me, Joe's dying.

00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: year it was eighty five million or whatever it was.

186
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: And she said, oh, it's just an accounting air or something,

187
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: or nobody knows and just stop asking me. Well, a

188
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: reporter confronted her at the Capitol.

189
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: The last time I said to you, you said that

190
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: I was stupid for asking you about your financial Yeah, disclosure,

191
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: But there's some destrdancies on there.

192
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: Would you like to explain that?

193
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: How you stake cart before asking me anything? I am

Speaker 3: have to explain to the American people what's the explanation

196
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 3: I have given them the explanation? Do you want to

197
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: tell our viewers because I don't want to tell who judge?

198

Speaker 2: How about that? Okay, okay, how you going to say?

199
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,600

00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: I gonna tell you, jack ass, that's a colorful expressionatie.

201
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: She she I watched this video this morning. She is

202
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: the most unlikable America hating and American hating bach on

203
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: the planet.

204
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. She wants to get rich and impose

205
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: Sharia law. That's why she shared in Congress mug attitude.

206
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my.

207
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: I think she's playing it right, though. I'm firmly of

208
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: the belief that we have crossed some sort of line

209
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: where you do not need to respond to things. Your

210
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: crowd won't ever see it. The people that support you

211
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: will never see the bad stuff.

212
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: There is no public square. There are two different public squares,

213
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: and everybody gathers in the one of their choice. Yeah,

214
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: two to five different public squares. Yeah, go to hell.

215
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: Oh I stole all of it, every penny of it. Yep, yep, yep,

216
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: sure did, Sure did. I'm gonna steal more tomorrow too,

217
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: ha ha, And your crowd will still support you.

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Never hear that stuff, right, you.

219
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: Just say, have a nice day.

220
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you, Jack, Yes, this is the state

221
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: of our Congress. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, I'm sorry.

222
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.

223
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: Go grab your prayer, Ruge, laughing all the way.

224
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh my, that's appropriate.

225
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: Ah.

226
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: So the transgender house cards falling apart. We will bring

227
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the receipts, as they say these days.

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: I'll be a stay tuned for that. Yeah. Well it's

229
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: about damn time. Eh boy? What else? What else are

230
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: we gonna talk about? I don't know.

231
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: It's all so you remember what In the latter days

232
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: of Don Imus's career, the radio legend who grew increasingly

233
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: bitter and disinterested in his own line of work.

234
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: He would occasionally just end segments.

235
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: With, God, this is tedious, absolutely tedious. We're gonna try

236
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: to avoid tedious if we possibly can. Oh, here's some

237
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: good news, bingo.

238
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: Gringo.

239
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: I knew I had something positive. Classical teaching. The teaching

240
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: of classics in the classical way is making a real

241
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: comeback in America. Man, this is a movement I can

242
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: get on board with and donate money and quit this

243
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: dead end, tedious job and start volunteering.

244
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm excited about this.

245
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: You seem to be amused by this kidding.

246
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: Oh did you just say bingo, gringo?

247
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: I did.

248
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: It's actually an expression I used fairly frequently off the air.

249
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: Where did you come by that?

250
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: Do you suppose, oh, gosh, I heard it somewhere. I suppose.

251
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

252
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: You have been saying it for years on your face

253
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: and our movement.

254
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 5: I just I don't want to drive people to suicide

255
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 5: who tune into this podcast slash radio show the Stutter

256
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: Purpose here, and there's some days that the news flow,

257
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 5: it's just.

258
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: It's so tedious.

259
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: Gringo. You're right, glad you appointed that out, Katie. You know,

260
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: he's like that sort of brilliant slide by. Okay, we

261
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: got more on the ways there.

262
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Got to plunge ahead with this, but this headline tells

263
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: you everything you know. After originally backing Eric Swaalwell. California

264
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: Teachers Union endorses billionaire Tom Steyer, who attended elite Phillips

265
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Exeter Academy and sent all of his children to private schools.

266
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: That's because he's going to round them the most money

267
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: in power. They don't give a crap about the kids

268
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and they never have.

269
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: So that do you think that that would be a

270
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: deal breaker for the California Teachers Union to back a

271
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: guy who would not send his kids to public school

272
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: but apparently not.

273
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah.

274
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: The CTA in dorse Steyer on Wednesday, saying he had

275
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: shown quote a depth of commitment to educator unions we

276
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: expect from all elected leaders.

277
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: There's really not enough of that just all in all

278
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: with our with our leaders around the country. Because somebody

279
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: of them a why do you send your kid to

280
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: private school?

281
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: Right?

282
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: I explained specifically there are very good reasons.

283
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: Tell us what they are. Yeah, I would love that.

284
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: I would love that.

285
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: I came across an article in the journal about how

286
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: billionaires and multimillionaires who are moving in short, rich people

287
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: who are moving to Florida, there aren't enough slots in

288
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: private schools, so they're building them. They have that much money,

289
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: and they're staffing them and just starting them for themselves,

290
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: which is interesting.

291
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: But this is a great story. This happens to be

292
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: the Washington Post.

293
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: Classical schools focused on Western content and American ideals are

294
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: rising quickly, said one principle. We're gonna honor the creation

295
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: of our flag. We're gonna honor George Washington. Seniors at

296
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Pineapple Cove Classical Academy, this is in Florida, draw upon

297
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the Bible and books from the Western canon answer a

298
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: quintessential question in their capstone.

299
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: Project, what is the good life?

300
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: These are high school seniors. Kids at the K through

301
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: twelve school learn Latin, engage in the Socratic method, right

302
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: in cursive. The use of technology is rare. Paintings of

303
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: historical figures and incidents and moments in our history abound.

304
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: Probably a lot of dead white men involved.

305
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: Though, oh you're you are such an a hole. Not you,

306
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: but the people you are channeling. The president. The principal

307
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: said of the school, she wants to want students to

308
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: graduate with quote an understanding of the Western civilization and

309
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: appreciation for the great people who founded our country. They

310
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: emphasize Western history and literature, drawn teaching methods from ancient

311
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Greece and Rome, much more rigor than the government schools

312
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: that have relaxed their grading policies or use screens to

313
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: do the teaching.

314
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: God, I've got a lot more to say about this,

315
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: but I will save it for another time because I

316
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: was watched an interview with a one of the great

317
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: classics professors in American history about how nobody teaches that anymore.

318
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: How you can get a thhd in literature now and

319
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: never have read a word of Shakespeare.

320
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: Let's go big on this tomorrow. I would love to.

321
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: I love this topic.

322
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the transgender House and Cards has collapsed completely.

323
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: You're not going to hear it in the mainstream media.

324
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear it here. And please tell everybody you know.

325
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

326
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: Oh. I just came across something really troubling on Mark

327
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: Alprin's Twitter feed. Obviously, somebody who he respects and believes,

328
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: who thinks Pakistan is in league with Iran and really

329
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: playing us. It's highly troubling. I'll get to that next segment. Maybe.

330
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's not the beyond the realm of imagination at all.

331
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: Oh, it's not all right.

332
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: Well, This is exciting.

333
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: It is not the beginning of the end, but it

334
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: is officially the end of the beginning. This is an

335
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: important historical turning point.

336
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: Gender bending Madness updates.

337
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: So I kept hearing about this thing called.

338
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: The loco We're a.

339
00:17:54,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: Brave world, just one, I'm an appetizer story than into

340
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: the main course. Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Universe Puerto Rico

341
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: has announced his second biological male contestant since twenty twenty three.

342
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Some guy who presents as a woman is running to

343
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: be Missed Universe Puerto Rico. And what's interesting about this

344
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: is the reaction. It's mostly just to eye rolls at

345
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: this point. Oh okay, you're so progressive, you know, one

346
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: user on Twitter, which doesn't mean anything, but they wrote

347
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: men replacing women and women only spaces is such a

348
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: tired and played out scam at this point, it's just pathetic.

349
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: Another person declared, and I love this. If they want

350
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: to have a competition like this, then be honest and

351
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: give the awards to the plastic surgeon who created this.

352
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: This guy doesn't deserve an award for someone else's work.

353
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: Well, and I just can't believe there are more women

354
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: who come look I've dedicated my life to these pageants.

355
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: Ridiculous thing to dedicate your life to it, you know,

356
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 3: learning a skill and how to walk, and I don't know,

357
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: I'll get in tan staying fit and everything again. And

358
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: now you're gonna let some dude win. What.

359
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

360
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: It's absolutely absurd, just pathetic at this point, honestly. So

361
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: here's the important story. The transgender house of cards just

362
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: came crashing down.

363
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: We mentioned this when this study.

364
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: Came out, but this is a really good digest and

365
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: review of it, and this is a credit where it's due.

366
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: It was written by roy Eapen, who is a doctor

367
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: himself of endochronology that's, you know, hormones and that sort

368
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: of thing. Will the activist community now admit the truth?

369
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: It is no secret that the child's sex change industry

370
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: is built on a foundation of falsehoods, not science. Yet

371
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: the activist community has long pretended otherwise to spite appeals

372
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: from doctors like myself. They've claimed, without good evidence, that

373
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: gender confused children have better mental health outcomes after they're

374
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: pumped full of dangerous chemicals and given irreversible surgeries. The

375
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: way their argument goes, if these kids don't get sex changes,

376
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: they're doomed to a life of depression and other mental

377
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: health struggles, possibly leading to suicide. Earlier this month, that

378
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: house of cards came crashing down. Medical researchers just released

379
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: a groundbreaking study that proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt,

380
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: that sex change treatments do not improve children's mental health.

381
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: The researcher's conclusions could not be more clear. Quote, psychiatric

382
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: needs do not subside after children start going down this road.

383
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: To the contrary, they're far more likely to need psychiatric

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: help later in life than they were prior to receiving

385
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: medical intervention. In other words, the very treatments that are

386
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: supposed to help these vulnerable kids do nothing of the sort,

387
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: and in fact cause more pain according to basic medical ethics.

388
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: That means these treatments shouldn't be provided because they aren't

389
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: really treatments at all. And this is not the first

390
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: study to reach this conclusion. There have been others, and

391
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: they've been very well done. But crucially, the activist community

392
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: cannot simply displiss, I'm sorry, simply dismiss this particular study

393
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: out of hand. The researchers are from Finland. One of

394
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: the earliest countries to embrace sex changes for children. They

395
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: analyzed over two decades of real world data, not hypothetical situations.

396
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: They didn't just look at the number of doctor's appointments

397
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: the patients had. They focused on those that dealt with

398
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: serious mental illness. Added all up, this is not some

399
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: right wing hit job or a report from an ideologically

400
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: minded government agency. It's a political and honest examination of

401
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: the evidence. That evidence is clear sex changes don't improve kids'

402
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: mental health and may significantly worsen kids' troubles.

403
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: Well, my gosh, I think for a lot of us, intuitively,

404
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: we thought that all along.

405
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Right, right, Yeah, I didn't need this study to know

406
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: what was true. But now it's just irrefutable, and a

407
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: lot of this is very, very painful. And this is

408
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: in case you're not well, I'll just say it. The

409
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: reason I get so fired up about this is I

410
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: know I have raised, I have coached, I have counseled

411
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of kids with emotional problems, autism, whatever.

412
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: And the idea that.

413
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: These acts activists get these confused kids who feel like

414
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: they don't fit in, they're not comfortable in their own skins,

415
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and they sell them on this absolutely perverse ideology and

416
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: mutilate them, not only you know, physically and chemically, but emotionally.

417
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: It just it horrifies me. The recognization of the children.

418
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: It's not political, it's personal.

419
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: I feel for the parents who, at least for a

420
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 3: while there so experts are telling you, look, your kid

421
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: is going to kill themselves if you don't get this

422
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: surgery done for them.

423
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: Would you rather have a live daughter or a dead son?

424
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: They was in a hell of a position. Oh that's

425
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: what the experts of people with PhDs and you know,

426
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: degrees and on the wall they're telling you.

427
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: And as we've discussed before, once a parent goes down

428
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: that road and authorizes those things, the you know, is

429
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: it a cognitive dissonance or a psychic disconnect to then admit, oh,

430
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: my gosh, I was browbeaten. I was maybe weak, and

431
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: I went along with this. And what we have done

432
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: is horrible. I have participated in the abuse of my child.

433
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: Is extremely difficult for parents to come to grips with,

434
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: and of course it is.

435
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: My heart breaks for them. That's terrible, and yet that

436
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: is what happened.

437
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: A little more from this, the study of reaffirms some

438
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: painful truths about what kids in this situation face in life.

439
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: The researchers found that before children are referred for sex

440
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: change treatments, these young patients already struggle with quote severe

441
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: psychiatric morbidity. That means they're grappling with serious issues like anxiety, depression,

442
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: and suicidality.

443
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: Clearly they need real medical help.

444
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Common sense, to say nothing of standard medical assessment points

445
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: to the kind of help they require. They're counting on

446
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: psychiatric treatment, which can help alleviate their mental health challenges

447
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: and bring them to terms with who they really are.

448
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: Sex Change treatments do exactly the opposite, forcing kids to

449
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: become something they biologically are not. This foolhardy effort is

450
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: proven to cause worse physical health outcomes, from sexual infertility

451
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: to weaker bones to greater risk of stroke.

452
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: But even if you ignore the physical.

453
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Consequences, it also stands the reason that mental health won't

454
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: improve either if common sense isn't enough. The new finished

455
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: study grounds this reasoning in science. Will the activist community

456
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: admit the truth now? That seems unlikely, given that so

457
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: many people's professional and political identity is defined by pushing

458
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: child sex changes. But while activist views are likely set

459
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: in stone. The medical establishment stance needs to shift given

460
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: the increasingly incontrovertible evidence, and he calls specifically the changes

461
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: needed most from the American Academy Pediatrics and the Endocrines Society,

462
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: among others.

463
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: Is conclusion.

464
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: Yet the facts are not clearer than ever before, and

465
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: they point to a single and simple conclusion. No child

466
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: should ever be allowed, much less encouraged, to endure a

467
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: sex change.

468
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: And where are we currently on that in terms of

469
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: the law state by state?

470
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: Still yes, yeah, it's absolutely state by state, and large

471
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: number of states is a majority now forbid a lot

472
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: of this treatment to minors.

473
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: It's not enough.

474
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: It needs to be all fifty absolutely, and it needs

475
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: to be strictly prohibited. This this is and I will

476
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: stand ready to take on any dissent or counter argument

477
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I'll read it out loud and answer it.

478
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: This is an unsupportable by any sort of of of

479
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: serious analysis experiment on children based on a political slash,

480
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, philosophical ideology, the critical theory crowd that I

481
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about a lot. It's utterly unsupportable scientifically. It's it's

482
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: it's insane that it's happening. It makes the experiments on

483
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the the was it the uh? What was the nightmarish

484
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: syphilis experiments in the twentieth century on the black folk.

485
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: It's it's right there with that.

486
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: It's with doctor Mengela and his Nazi experiments. It ranks

487
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: with that. And I will stand by those words until

488
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: my dying day, or until I am refuted. It's a

489
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: very important gender bending madness update. Can't believe I witnessed it. Yeah,

490
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere.

491
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: All of a sudden. People are saying, yes, I believe it.

492
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 2: I believe it. Don't hurt me, don't in my career,

493
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: I believe it.

494
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: And now all finally common sensus staging you comeback.

495
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we all live long enough, it's going to

496
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: be hard to explain to younger generations.

497
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids will say, why did you go along

498
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: with that? And you know, I'll say, well I didn't.

499
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: I yelled about it every damn day. But yeah, lots

500
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: and lots of people were bullied into or or are

501
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: just kind of sheepish people they went along with it,

502
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: or as you point out, Jack, and it's one hundred

503
00:26:55,080 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: percent fair point. The very people we trust to give

504
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: us this advice were ideologically captured or captured or or

505
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: or had gone crazy themselves.

506
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

507
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm so skeptical about everything. I don't care if you

508
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: come at me with a lab quote with a diploma

509
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: on your wall, if you say something that I know

510
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: to be, you know, goes against common sense, I'm going

511
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: to think, wait a minute here, but you know.

512
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: I like people carry I want to actually carry your

513
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: degree around in a frame all the time.

514
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: Happen with you, see yeah, or at least you know,

515
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: or inside your trench coat.

516
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: I'll check this.

517
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: Out on Cornell. So this could be a troubling report.

518
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: Mark Halpern and his newsletter, and he's this is the

519
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: only place I've heard anybody bring this up. He has

520
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: been regularly saying for a couple of weeks. Now, why

521
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: the hell we trusting Pakistan to be the neutral broker

522
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 3: on this whole deal.

523
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: They're the one the same thing.

524
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: They're the ones that helped I'd been.

525
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 4: Laden from us for a decade and all of.

526
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: A sudden, and I haven't everybody else bring that up. Well,

527
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: he's got an interesting report, he retweeted that I'll get

528
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: to next. Stay tuned. This might end up being this

529
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: whole Pakistan Iran thing like the red line Obama had

530
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: with Syria back in the day when Russia stepped in

531
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: and Putin said, we'll be the arbiter if this will

532
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: take care of it, and the Obama ministries, yeah, go

533
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: knock yourself out and let Russia be like the peacemaker.

534
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: Like we trusted Russia to be a fair arbiter of

535
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: what was right and wrong with Syria, we might be

536
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: doing the same thing with Pakistan now.

537
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 4: It is weird.

538
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: I mean, when I first heard they're gonna have Pakistan

539
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 3: has gotten involved in trying to bring together both parties

540
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: for a peace. Neghoctators like Pakistan. Yeah, a fundamentalist Muslim

541
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: half a whack job country that had been laden.

542
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: Okay, with whom we have decent early relations. So it's

543
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: not completely nuts, but it is worth examining, right.

544
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: I didn't think about it that much until I started

545
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: reading in Mark Alpern. He is one of my favorite newsletters.

546
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: He and his dad was involved in intelligence and all

547
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: this sort of stuff, and he traveled around the world

548
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: his whole life, and he was like, Wow, so the

549
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: country that hidn't been laden, we're going to trust them

550
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: to be neutral on this. Well, he retweeted this, dude,

551
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: I don't know amen. Dean is his name, and he's

552
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: wearing a turban. He looks Middle Eastern and he used

553
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: to work in Mi six for the Brits. He is

554
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: a spy infiltrating al Qaeda, et cetera. So he's a

555
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: friend of the West and a hater of Muslim extremists.

556
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: And he wrote and again, Mark Alpern wouldn't have retweeted this.

557
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: Fee didn't agree with it or believe it. If you're

558
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: looking for a polite take, this isn't it. I've said

559
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: it repeatedly on the Conflicted podcast, which must be his podcast.

560
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: Pakistan was never a neutral mediator between Washington and tran

561
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: not for a second. We're watching now is not diplomacy.

562
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: It's pure manipulation dressed up as state craft. It's a

563
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: military Pakistan is a military system with a democratic facade,

564
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: pursuing its own interests with the level of cynicism that

565
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: should surprise no one who's followed its behavior over the

566
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: past two decades. What did it sell to Donald Trump?

567
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: A fantasy, a pipe dream that the Islamic Republic can

568
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: be reasoned with, that it's pragmatic, not ideological, that it's

569
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: capable of compromise if only you flattered enough and give

570
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: it incentives. In short, that you can extract the deal

571
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: of the century from a regime whose entire strategic doctrine

572
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: is built on resisting precisely that outcome. And Trump, obsessed

573
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: with the optics of a deal, bought it. It goes

574
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: on with a bah blah blah blah. Here's the uncomfortable part.

575
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: This isn't new. We've seen this movie before. The United

576
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: States spent years treasure and blood in Afghanistan, only to

577
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: discover that Osama bin Laden and his network we're living

578
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: comfortably in Pakistan all along, while Pakistan will simultaneous simultaneously

579
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: cashing in on US counter terrorism billions in funding. They

580
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: didn't fail to find the target, They bloody managed it.

581
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: Why end the hunt when the hunt itself pays and

582
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: pays pretty well. Fast forward to today and the pattern repeats,

583
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: only this time the battlefield is Iran. At the very moment,

584
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: the regime was under maximum pressure a couple of weeks ago,

585
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: militarily strained, economically cornered, strategically exposed. Pakistan steps in not

586
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 3: to mediate but to buy tran time time to reading

587
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: and ultimately survive. That's not mediation, that's intervention. On one side.

588
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: As John Bolton said, the ceasefire was a mistake.

589
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: Press forward from a cold historical lens, this may well

590
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: be remembered as the pivot point, the moment when pressure

591
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: was lifted prematurely, when momentum was lost, when a winnable

592
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: strategic position was traded for the illusion of a negotiated

593
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: breakthrough that was never going to materialize.

594
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: Ever, Wow, will somebody put that in front of Trump.

595
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: I know in both cases Afghanistan and now and now

596
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: Iran Pakistan didn't just mislead Washington. It shaped the battlefield

597
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: to its advantage, all while claiming partnership with the clueless

598
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: US administration, and Washington once again chose to believe what

599
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 3: it wanted to hear. That might be the most interesting

600
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: thing I've heard in a couple of weeks.

601
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. And I'll tell you what.

602
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: One of Trump's greatest weakness is weaknesses is if you

603
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: dangle in front of them prospect that look, this will

604
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: be seen as one of the greatest deals ever cut

605
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: in history. He'll go after it like a hungry bass.

606
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: After a lure. It's desperate for that for his ego,

607
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: so it would seem dang it, dang it is right. Well,

608
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: the whole peace talks thing is farcical. Although getting back

609
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: to that other report, if indeed the IRGC is just

610
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: arrested a significant chunk or or you know, put in

611
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: a headlock, a significant chunk of the civilian leadership, well

612
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: all right, we're now we know at least what we're

613
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: dealing with. But the idea that they're going to be

614
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: productive peace talks orchestrated by Pakistan, what.

615
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: Why weren't there more people in the State Department or

616
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: the Pentagon who said, whoa, whoa, whoa, our vice president

617
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: is not going to Islamabad, Pakistan to sit down with

618
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: the Iranians.

619
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I wonder if that's what happened. That's possible.

620
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, there was such a frakas that they

621
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: changed their minds. People who hair to four had been

622
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: respectfully quiet, said oh that's enough, I gotta say something,

623
00:33:41,360 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know, just weird enough weird.

624
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: I feel like somebody touched me inappropriately.
