The Prime Minister is likely within the week 122 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: to fall. This is just what pushed him over the edge.

The Jeffrey Epstein files 133 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 4: were supposed to uncover the financiers sex trafficking and blackmail operation. 134 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: They haven't for the excellent reason that there was no 135 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 4: such operation. Its non existence is ironically the main thing 136 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 4: to emerge so far from the document dump. In the 137 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: latest Tronch released late this month, in a memo from 138 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 4: FBI investigators declaring that they found no evidence in Epstein's 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: residences and bank accounts of a trafficking ring or sex 140 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: videos supposedly used for blackmail. This finding has the force 141 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: of cogency. You know, a story that holds together, contradicting 142 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 4: as it does, the earlier conspiratorial claims of Attorney General Pambondi, 143 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 4: who you were just hearing, FBI Director Cash Ptel, Justice 144 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: Department Hanchos, Dan Bongino, and others. In other words, wanted 145 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: to uncover a trafficking ring. They're investigators, had to tell 146 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: them the bad news. We've looked into all of this 147 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 4: stuff and there isn't one right both parties over the 148 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: course of years. We mentioned this last hour, but it's 149 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 4: worth mentioning again. Another revealing document, and you're not hearing about. 150 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 4: You know, these news outlets are looking through all these documents. 151 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: You haven't heard about this one. Another revealing document. This 152 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: one highlighted by the independent journalist Michael Tracy, is an 153 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: eighty six page mon memo from back in December twenty nineteen. 154 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 4: Who was president in twenty nineteen that said Joe Biden 155 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: was still pressed in twenty nineteen. 156 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: By prosecutors with the Southern District of New York. The memo, 157 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: intended to martial evidence against Epstein's associates, noted that Virginia Girfree, 158 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: I never know how to pronounce her name, that poor 159 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: woman that you've seen in all the pictures with Prince 160 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Andrew and all that stuff, and then she killed herself 161 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: last year. The accuser primarily responsible for stories of a 162 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: sex slave in blackmail ring, she's the poster child for it. 163 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: Was in fact a fabulous and totally unreliable as a 164 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: courtroom witness. That's a ninety page memo from the Southern 165 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: District of New York back during the Biden administration. Yeah, 166 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: she just as unreliable as a witness, you know, And 167 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: she's all kinds of damage. That's how she ended up 168 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: in that situation. And then taking ad Ye's right and 169 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: then taking advantage of more which you damaged or even more. 170 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: Why isn't that like a lead piece of knowledge that 171 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: everybody has of the Epstein files at this point. I mean, 172 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: if you do a big. 173 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: Overarching version of the Epstein story, she's going to be 174 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: in the first five seconds. 175 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Yes, And they looked into it. 176 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: It sounds like at great length a particular law office 177 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: in our judicial system that hated Republicans certainly and hated Trump, 178 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 4: and they said, oh, we can't, he can't, we can't. 179 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: Go with anything. She says, it's just it's unfortunate, but 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: we can't. At the height of the post January sixth, 181 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: Trump is hitler. We'll never have another election in our lives. 182 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: One of the most democratic jurisdictions in the country said, no, 183 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: there's nothing there. 184 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 4: What I got time for this next one because I 185 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: think it's good the Epstein's crime. Epstein's crimes were confined 186 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 4: to himself and a few nagblers, chiefly Gallaine Maxwell. It 187 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 4: was intolerable to influencers and politicos determined to attribute all 188 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 4: bad things to the dark workings of cabal's. Tucker Carlson 189 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 4: conjectured that Epstein worked with the massad to blackmail it's enemies. 190 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 4: Bud Your radicals in the House, including Thomas Massey Republican, 191 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: Rocanna Democrat Jamie Raskin Democrat, relentlessly speculate that Epstein serviced 192 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: the rich and powerful and odious ways. These exhibitionists have 193 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: yet to receive any criticism from the anti misinformation crowd. 194 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: I love that, remember misinformation end even worse h disinformation. Oh, 195 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: it's supposed to be what's going to bring down this nation, 196 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: but you don't mind it. 197 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: In this case, there was no those examples are are perfect. 198 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: I was just about to say, the reason this keeps 199 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: going the way it is is its fuel for whatever 200 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: fire you're intent on spreading. If it's down with the Jews, 201 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: you'll say the massade is involved. If it's down with 202 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: the Democrats, you'll say it's a plot by the Democrats 203 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: like Bongino and company. We're doing until they got power 204 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: and realized there's nothing there. If if you're Jamie Raskin 205 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: and the fire you want to set as the Republicans 206 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: or Epstein and coddling pervs, that's perfect. It's again the 207 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: pot of gold is empty. All it is is a 208 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: sordid pervo and his networking. 209 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 4: And then, because I know people like this personally, if 210 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 4: you're a lean toward the conspiracy theory, they're all Trump, 211 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: Clinton's Hollywood, They're all guilty. We're all it's a giant 212 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 4: network of power that is against us, and we need 213 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 4: to keep fighting a good fight to unleash this. One 214 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,479 Speaker 4: more paragraph here. There was in the end, no sex slavering, 215 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 4: no blackmail operation, no cameras recording dalliances for later use, 216 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: no client list, Just a deeply sick and rich predator with. 217 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: A few enablers. That's that little piece is lost on 218 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing. And honestly, I wish everybody in America 219 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: had listened to this show for several reasons. But if 220 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: they did, I would think, Okay, that's our last word 221 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: on the topic, because those who are not satisfied by 222 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: all of that evidence from every direction, I mean, as 223 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: bipartisan as anything could possibly be. If you're not satisfied 224 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: by that, there is no satisfying you, and I'm through. 225 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm done with the discussion. It's the discussion you walk 226 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: away from saying there's no point in continuing this. 227 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 4: Well, if everybody in the country listened to the show, 228 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 4: my driver would be sitting out in front of my 229 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: stretch Bentley, keeping it warm for four hours. 230 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: Till I walk out of here because you demand it 231 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: to be precisely seventy six degrees. 232 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 4: And then when I get close to the Bentley, I 233 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 4: would have somebody disrobe me, put a towel around. 234 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: My shoulders, and then I would get into the Bentley 235 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: like you're Freddie Mercury.

Anyway, the l Passo explanation coming 339 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: up right now, though it is an unusually an important 340 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: gender bending madness update. So I kept hearing about this 341 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: thing called by the loco We're a brave must drop 342 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: the disco music down, Michael, because this is serious stuff. 343 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: There was an absolutely horrific school shooting in Canada the 344 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: other day in which at least eight innocents were killed, 345 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: including little children, and the shooter was once again a 346 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: transgender person. Dwayne. Oh, I'm sorry, what is his actual 347 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: first name? Jesse Van Rutzelaire a biological male who approximately 348 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: six years ago began to transition to female and identify 349 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: as female. He was known to have mental health the 350 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: problems through the years. Initial ports on CNN sounded like this. 351 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 5: Fifteen new details about a deadly mass shooting in a small, 352 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 5: tight knit community in tumblr Ridge, Canada. Mobile phone messages 353 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 5: warned of an active shooter, describing the suspect as a 354 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 5: woman wearing a dress with brown hair. Police say a 355 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 5: long gun and a modified handgun were used, and disclosed 356 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 5: that authorities were called to the suspect's home several times 357 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 5: for mental health emergencies and firearms offenses. 358 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: That was actually fairly responsible as reports go, because that 359 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: was the initial report. But everybody knew by then that 360 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: it was a confused transgender teenager eighteen years old. And 361 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: as who is this, It's. 362 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 4: Amazing how often it is someone that cops have been 363 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 4: to their house many times. 364 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, As Bethany Mandel writes in The New York Post, 365 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: another mass shooting, another devastated community, and once again elits 366 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: in the media, class and public officials are so terrified 367 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: of offending that they don't ask, don't dare ask the 368 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: obvious question, why are so many of the most horrifying 369 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: attacks carried out by people who identify as trans and 370 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: they go through. The Nashville transgender identified shooter and murdered 371 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: six people at a Christian school in Minneapolis. Another attacker 372 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: documented gender identity turmoil targeted at church. The alleged murder 373 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk had transgender boyfriend and believed in it 374 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: was a hardcore transgender activist type. But the media insists 375 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: that violence by mentally ill people in their transgender identity 376 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: is mere coincidence. Critics are bullied into silence and warned 377 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: not to stigmatized. Questioning is dangerous, cruel, it's bigotry. Exploring 378 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: whether transgender identity may signal deeper psychological distress is forbidden. 379 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: Professionals who dare to raise concerns are threatened with loss 380 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: of their licenses, reputation, professional reputation, livelihood. The dogma has consequences, 381 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: as another community has learned the hard way. Let's admit it. 382 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: Believing you're the opposite of your bio logical sex is 383 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: simply not a normal or neutral position. It's quite likely 384 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: often a sign of some kind of psychological distress, perhaps 385 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: accompanied by depression, disassociation, autism, spectrum disorders, self harm, suicidal ideation, 386 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: and extreme social ideation. That doesn't mean every person with 387 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: gender dyspory is violent or even deeply sick, but it 388 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: does mean that when young people are spiraling, we shouldn't 389 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: ignore the signs or, worse, affirm their delusions. A last 390 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: mental health professionals insist we do just that. God, I 391 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: assume that a lot of us. 392 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 4: If our teenager came to us and said, hey, I 393 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 4: think I'm a boy or I think I'm a girl, 394 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 4: different than what they have been living as their whole lives, 395 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: my first thought would be, you know what else? 396 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: What other issues do we have going on here? Now? Oh? 397 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: Okay, cool, Well let's get started on the transitioning because 398 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: I'm sure everything is perfectly okay. 399 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You wouldn't think, oh my gosh, this is 400 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: genderness for you. You'd think, oh my gosh, what psychological 401 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: problems maladies challenges are we dealing with that has led 402 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: to this. It's a symptom, it's not a cast. 403 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 4: And it's one week after the first successful lawsuit against 404 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 4: a doctor and a psychologist by somebody who was encouraged 405 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 4: to transition, who then, like you, maame an adult said 406 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 4: you shouldn't have done that. 407 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: Oh, I've got some new stuff on that very front. Yeah, 408 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention this real quickly and we can 409 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: dig into this more. But this sort of thing is 410 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: going to be happening more and more and more. The 411 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: Office of Pierce County Sheriff. This is in Oregon, Keith 412 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: Swank in the puell I'm sorry, it's a Washington State. 413 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: Puyallup School District confirmed Tuesday they are a conducting investigation 414 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: into alleged sexual assault against a female Puyallup High School wrestler. 415 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: She reported the alleged assault to school officials and her coach, 416 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: but the family contends administration failed to take meaningful action 417 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: to protect and investigate her claims of sexual assault. She 418 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: was wrestling somebody who was presenting themselves as a female 419 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: wrestler who was a biological male, and you know what 420 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: happened was definitely sexual assault if it was anywhere close 421 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: to intentional, but she had no idea it was a 422 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: biological male at the time. Anyway, that case will I'm 423 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: sure you know play out well. 424 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 4: Our executive producer Hanson was following this shooting right when 425 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: it happened yesterday and picked up one broadcast in which 426 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 4: they said the gun person, which was the first time 427 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 4: anybus had ever heard that term instead of gunman. 428 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: The gun person. Actually, this is an MP amount E 429 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: clip fifty two, Michael, go ahead and roll out. 430 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 6: The other questions were just to clarify the number. There 431 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 6: were eight people in total found deceased. Is that correct? 432 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 8: So we have nine total people deceased. We found eight 433 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 8: in tumblr Ridge in twos and then another was deceased 434 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 8: during ablatory transport to the clinic. 435 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 6: Okay, and none of those people are the gun person. 436 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 8: That includes the deceased gun person. 437 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 4: Okay, when did gun Now did they move Maybe in 438 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 4: Canada they've moved on from mailman to mail carrier and 439 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: fireman to fire what do we call people? Fire people, firefighters, firefighters. 440 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 4: Maybe they did that a long time ago with gunman. 441 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 4: I don't know, But that's the first time I've heard 442 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 4: gun person. 443 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: No, because it was a gunman and they didn't want 444 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: to say that because they are so far down the 445 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: woke Highway in Canada. But all of this is kind 446 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: of a lead up to what I wanted to get to, 447 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: and this is so it's so painful because it's so 448 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: typical and so obvious to a lot of us what 449 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: I suffered being transgender. This is an opinion piece written 450 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: by Soren Aldaco in the Wall Street Journal. I'm suing 451 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: the people who did this to me, and the Texas 452 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: Supreme Court heard my case this week. When I was eleven, 453 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: I began identifying as transgender. I had gone down a 454 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: rabbit hole of websites and nie sh online forms. There 455 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: I met a friend, an artist who was fourteen, whom 456 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: I admired and looked up to. We both felt different, 457 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: out of place in society. Born ten years earlier, we 458 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: would have been called tomboys. Instead, we writhed under the 459 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: pressure of the quote unquote female role. The internet told us. 460 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: The logical conclusion of that struggle was to identify as boys. 461 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: I come from a broken home. While my mother and 462 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: stepfather have always loved me, my stepfather became severely disabled 463 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: when I was three, leaving me feeling as though I 464 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: had to raise myself. I eventually reached out to my 465 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: biological father around a decade later, when he and my 466 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: step mother saw my distress and were told by a 467 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: psychiatrists that this distress was related to my transgender identity. 468 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: They began to consider the benefits of affirming me in 469 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: my transition. Too young to vote, too young to drink, 470 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: I became immersed in the idea that hormones and surgeries 471 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: would fix me. At the transgender support group I attended, 472 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: most of the focus was on who was starting hormones 473 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: and how it was going for them. I was envious. 474 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: I wanted the same feeling of affirmation they had. Many 475 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: of them were on hormones prescribed by a nurse practitioner 476 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: who attended the GRIPS. When I was seventeen, I went 477 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: with my stepmother to see that nurse practitioner who prescribed 478 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: testosterone and estrogen blockers. Thirty minutes later. These hormones were 479 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: one of the many medical interventions I pursued in my teens. 480 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: At nineteen, I had top surgery of Euphemism for an 481 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: elective double mastectomy. My surgeon made sure to facilitate my 482 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: physical transitioning as much as possible, spoon feeding me talking 483 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: points for insurance coverage. I donned rain boher medical knee 484 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: braces and prescription compression socks for my surgery date. I 485 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: was on more than ten different medications when I went 486 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: under the knife. Then she suffered major complications that her 487 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: surgeon wouldn't see her for. She had to finally go 488 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: to the emergency room. It was ugly, but kind of 489 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: off the topic. Although you're mutilating confused adolescents with experimental 490 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: sex change surgeries, Yeah, sometimes they go terribly wrong. It's 491 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: probably worth considering, but anyway, she writes, I made the 492 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: decision of face who I really was, without the medicine, 493 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: without the hormone or additional surgeries. Six months after this experience, 494 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: while taking classes at the University of Texas at Austin, 495 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: I began to make sense of my transgender identity through 496 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: the lens of human development, piecing together my turbulent family 497 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: life and adolescent Internet habits, among other things, it dawned 498 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: on me that I had never been born in the 499 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: wrong body. There's no way to be born in the 500 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: wrong body at all. Today, at twenty three, I'm giving 501 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: myself the grace to understand my gifts and purpose. Through 502 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: this journey of self exploration, I've come to realize how 503 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: coercive gender identity ideology was for me, disguising harm as compassion. 504 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: I also realized that sometimes the compassionate response is one 505 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: that sets firm boundaries. When I sued my medical providers 506 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, holding the line between helping and 507 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: enabling was my aim. In Texas, the statute of limitations 508 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: for medical malpractice claim is generally two years from the 509 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: date and the malpractice occurred. Unfortunately, people agreed about whether 510 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: malpractice refers to the action itself or the harm the 511 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: action causes. She goes into the legal ease. I'd like 512 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 1: to think that these days, I'm realistic. I know how 513 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: the law works. My case could still fail for reasons 514 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: that have nothing to do with what happened to me. 515 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: What I experienced at the hand of my nurse, practitioner, therapists, 516 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: and surgery team was wrong. People like me deserve justice. 517 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: I believe that God places burdens on people who can 518 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: carry them, and I trust that whatever comes next will 519 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: be made right in time. This young lady who is 520 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: so mutilated uses the term transgender only in quotes. It 521 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: is not a legitimate medical diagnosis, never has been, and, 522 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: as the editorialist in The New York Post points out, 523 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: both our media and some of our woke medical associations 524 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: ignore all of the mountain of evidence that's made Europe 525 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: go completely in the other direction. They just pretend it 526 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: doesn't exist. It's terrible. You're going to see so many 527 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: of these suits, hundreds of them, maybe thousands of them, 528 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: and as you've expressed, maybe that'll stop the experimentation on 529 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: confused gets highly troubling inderpending madness update. Speaking of operations quickly, 530 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: so Lindsey Vaughn. 531 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 4: He celebrated skier who tried it one more time at 532 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 4: age forty two with a torn acl and crashed right 533 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: away and broke bones. Has had three operations since the 534 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: weekend and yesterday her quote was I'm defining success in 535 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 4: a completely different way than I was a couple of 536 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 4: days ago, which made me think, are you, like, in 537 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 4: the how am I ever going to walk again? Or 538 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 4: all that sort of stuff. Situations are certainly when I 539 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 4: will walk again. Did you see the apparatus that's holding 540 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 4: her leg together. 541 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: No, it's one of those post you know, serious injury, 542 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, network of braces and pins and wires and 543 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: stuff like that. It looks like, you know, the internals 544 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: of a dirigible or something like that holding her leg together. 545 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: They called it a complex fracture do you know what 546 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean? Don't want that now? Three different surgeries already, 547 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, multiple breaks displaced. Oh god knows what else. 548 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: We have a little better Olympic stuff for him. Lots 549 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: of things to talk about, so stay here, arm Straw 550 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: and Getty. 551 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 9: Following his bronze medal finish and biathlon sterla Holm Lagrid 552 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 9: made a tearful plea for forgiveness on live TV. Six 553 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 9: months ago, I met the love of my life, he said, 554 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 9: but then admitted that three months into the relationship he 555 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 9: cheated on her. The Norwegian by athlete got a response 556 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 9: from his girlfriend. She wrote, it's hard to forgive even 557 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 9: after a declaration of love in front of the whole world. 558 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 9: Laggert said his girlfriend ended their relationship before the Games, 559 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 9: but he hoped she would realize how much he loves her. 560 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 9: The unnamed woman thrown into an Olympic whirlwind wrote, I 561 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 9: did not choose to be put in this position, and 562 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 9: it hurts to have to be. 563 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: Caught up in it. Winning the gold medal for heartbreak, Katie, 564 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: you were shaking your head and rolling your eyes. 565 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 7: Because this is a narcissist and it's finest. The love 566 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 7: of my life. Then don't cheat on her? How about that? 567 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 7: And then he puts pressure on her by doing this 568 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 7: whole dramatic thing at the Olympics. 569 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: Spare me, you know, or he's just really kind of 570 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: flighty emotionally because he declares her the love of his 571 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: life three months in, cheats on her, then wins an 572 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: Olympic medal and says, I can't enjoy this because I 573 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: ruined my life because I threw away the love of 574 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: my life. Decided to make that part of his big 575 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: announcement to the world. Yeah, and then his teammate who 576 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: got the golds, Like, okay, now nobody has any questions 577 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: for me. Everybody's asking you about your freaking love life 578 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: the great thanks buddy, I got a girlfriend. I didn't 579 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: cheat on her, So two words, run chick. He's a 580 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: handsome devil. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, So perhaps 581 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: you heard about the sudden and mysterious closing of the 582 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: El Paso Airport. It would appear the explanation is as 583 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, that the Trump administration certainly Customs and 584 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: Border Patrol is as anti Biden as it can be, 585 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: which probably won't surprise you given the policies. Whereas the 586 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: Biden administration let a Chinese spy balloon that was known 587 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: to be a Chinese spy balloon float over the country 588 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: and gather all the data it wanted. Because of idiotic, 589 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: kindergarten level fears of shooting it down, the Trump administration 590 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: will blast them, but jesus out of anything in the air. 591 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: They don't know what it is, including, as it turns out, 592 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: a birthday balloon. It would seem that the Customs and 593 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: Border Protection folks have been loaned an anti drone laser 594 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: from the Department of eas a laser and decided to 595 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: deploy it against what they thought was a drone without 596 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: giving aviation officials enough time to assess the risk to 597 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: commercial aircraft close to an airport, because the point of 598 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: this thing is it brings down aircraft. And so the 599 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: FAA essentially said, and all of this should be taken 600 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: with a grain of salt. There's so many grains of 601 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: salt these days, those of us with high blood pressure 602 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: having trouble avoiding sodium because everything that everybody says is suspect. 603 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, allegedly, after the Customers and Border Protection blasted 604 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: this birthday balloon out of the sky, the FAA was 605 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: so pissed off they said we're closing the airport in 606 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: nearby airspace for ten days, which maniacs. Yeah. Yeah, And 607 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: the administration then weighed in and said, whoa, whoa, whoa. 608 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: Everybody calmed down. You stop shooting lasers around airports. You 609 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: open the damn airport. People need to get places. That's 610 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: what it seems to be. Man, there's just a lack 611 00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: of grownups everywhere. True, yes, yeah. I'd also point out 612 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: one final note on the main story. Then your tangent 613 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: is absolutely true. Anti drone technology as it exists right 614 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: now is really problematic around airports. Yeah. Sure, and the 615 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: evil doers probably know that. So the what do we 616 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: do about drones conundrum is going to be rat lasting 617 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: the rest of our lives. 618 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 4: Getting a lot of texts wanting me to name the 619 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 4: kind of restaurant that my boys and I walked into 620 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 4: last night that smelled like an open sewer, and I 621 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 4: just don't think I'm going to. I don't feel like 622 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 4: it'll do me any good. It did, turn out, I 623 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 4: didn't know what the restaurant was as brand new it 624 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 4: opened up, and as we approached the door, it smelled 625 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 4: like a porta potty, and then I thought it was 626 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 4: just somebody outside, and then we went in. It smelled 627 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 4: like that in the restaurant. It was just a culture. 628 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: Difference, I guess, or could it be they used strong 629 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: cleaning fluids that reminded you of the scent oh the 630 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: modern port upon my son some of the pungent cooking 631 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: smells mixed with it. 632 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 4: And my son was like, oh, my god. Well, we 633 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 4: did have an all pair from this land for a while, 634 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 4: and when this all pair would cook, it smelled similarly. 635 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 4: So there is a certain area of the world that 636 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 4: the cooking, to me anyway, reminiscent of Armstrong
