WEBVTT - You Are Soft On Awfulness

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and get Kid and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Chairman, you're one of the worst attorney generals in

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>our history.

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Verbal judo. Pam Bondi occupied the witness chair.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm grateful for the opportunity to answer your questions.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>But one man consumed the minds of Democrats. The monstrous

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>crimes of Epstein.

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>The Epstein Files, Jeffrey Epstein's horrific abuse walk as spectacle

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>was five hours of sustained sniping. They told you about

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 2>that attorney general before you hit you.

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't tell me.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I did tell you because you saw what you did

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>in the Senate.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Lawyer not even a lawyer.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Wow wow.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 4>I am not enough of a partisan to be able

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 4>to pick aside and get any joy out of this.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I hated that.

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 4>All the way around the Democrats talking to Pam Bondi

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 4>about the Epstein files, they had a bunch of the

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 4>women who are victims of Epstein sitting right behind her

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 4>and at one point said to Pam Bondy, will you

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 4>turn around and apologize for not prosecuting any of the men,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 4>and no, I'm not going to turn around those kind

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 4>of stunts.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Come on, can we grow up here? And then, especially

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>given the fact that they had both houses in the

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>White House for years and years and did not die,

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just so nakedly phony.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 4>I wish any national newscast would throw that in. This

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 4>information has been around for a very long time. Both

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 4>parties have had the opportunity to take a look at

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 4>this or release it at various points when they controlled

0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 4>every branch of government, and they didn't for whatever reason.

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 4>So I had one more point on that, Oh we

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 4>ought to get to that Wall Street Journal piece that's

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 4>so good about all of this.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>But if you've been following this at all, you know

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.959
<v Speaker 1>it started with Dan Bongino and BONDI were out there

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>before they were in the Trump administration talking about what

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the Epstein files were just gonna just destroy the Democrats

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and why are they hiding this from us? And we

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>need to we need to win.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Trump needs to win, We need to get in office

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 4>so we can release this stuff.

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And then somehow it all got flipped around once they

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>got in office, Bongino to the point that finally then

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>leaving the Trump administration so he can go back into

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the private sector.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 4>And Pa Bondy's the one who said, I have the

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 4>list on my desk that that didn't help anything.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>He supposedly. It's just it's in my opinions I've made

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear. I think the whole Epstein thing is a

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>treasure map in which the treasure doesn't exist, and both

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>sides pretend the other side is tent on hiding the

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of reverse treasure, which is, you know, a scandal

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>that will bring them down. It's I'm looking up and

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's the lead on a couple of year newscasts up there,

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>pushing the Nancy Guthrie story out of the lead. Wow.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 4>So, Pam Bondi is the Attorney General of the United States,

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 4>the worst attorney general in our history, as you just

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 4>earned in that little montage there.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You're a washed up, loser lawyer. You're not even a lawyer.

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 4>And she is arguing with Jamie Raskin Democrat. They're both

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 4>good at arguing. So it's it gets exciting.

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>You can let her filibuster all day long, but not

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>on our watch, not on our.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Time, no way.

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I told you about that attorney general.

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Before you hit. You don't tell me.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I did tell you because I saw what you

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 2>did in the Senate. Law You're not You're to teach

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you the rules again.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>You're the attorney too the United States.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>You have rules here with You're the attorney John the

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>United States.

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 3>And the rulest with Donald Trump Trump derangement syndrome.

0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's true. Well, yeah, but Jamie raight awful, just awful. Well,

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>or he realizes the moment we're in, I guess, and

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is betraying his country to exploit it like a clown.

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>That's awful. Well, yes, I'm against it. Stand by by Wards,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm against it.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you get to stay in office,

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.679
<v Speaker 4>if you try to be, you know, a nineteen eighty

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 4>eight member of the House of Representatives or the Senate.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if you get to stay in office.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 4>It sounds like you are soft on awfulness. Which one

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 4>of these I don't know if I can handle both

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 4>of them. Which one of these doings? Oh, come on,

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 4>go ahead, let's let's try the next one. Michael, fight, fight,

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 4>fight your in law enforcement.

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>We've seen all kinds of evidence of crimes, and when

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 2>we go over to the Department of Justice for the

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 2>four computers. Remember, Congress, we see more evidence of crimes.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Will you create a joint task force.

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Of the Department of Justice and governors and state attorney

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 2>generals and district attorneys across the country to investigate the

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>crimes that have taken place against these victims? In more

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>than a thousand like them, the.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>DOJ is not doing its job.

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Will you create a task force with state and local

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement to make that happen?

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Jolady can respond she wants to thank you, Chairman.

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 3>He called Chase Smulligan a wild goose chase and didn't

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 3>even know who he was.

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>He is a defendant in.

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Your own trade on girls and he's a chairman.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what if he were part of the

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 2>investigation you want to do anything.

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>About the line chat rooms and committed sex pertion. Yet

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 3>he didn't even know in your tiny little district who

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 3>you chairmssing.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>This is your committee and she is embarrassing on you.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 5>The time of the gentleman has expired.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Hm. If if that was some other country, I'd think, Man,

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 1>are they dysfunctional? Yeah? How'd they get this screwed up? Now?

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking up at the TV Ian Panel of ABC

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 4>talking about how the Epstein files have royaled the government

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 4>in England. The Prime Minister is likely within the week

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 4>to fall. This is just what pushed him over the edge. Though,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 4>if you're not following the politics, it all over their

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 4>care Stormer. Stormer, the Prime Minister of Great Britain has

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 4>a thirteen percent approval rating.

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, thirty thirty would be you'd get lose your job.

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Teen.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh man. They've got the complete vomiting disgust over both

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>their parties thing going in Britain that some have in

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>this country.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Let me read just a little bit from Barton Swam

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 4>in the Wall Street Journal today. The Jeffrey Epstein files

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 4>were supposed to uncover the financiers sex trafficking and blackmail operation.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 4>They haven't for the excellent reason that there was no

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 4>such operation. Its non existence is ironically the main thing

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 4>to emerge so far from the document dump. In the

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 4>latest Tronch released late this month, in a memo from

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 4>FBI investigators declaring that they found no evidence in Epstein's

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 4>residences and bank accounts of a trafficking ring or sex

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 4>videos supposedly used for blackmail. This finding has the force

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 4>of cogency. You know, a story that holds together, contradicting

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 4>as it does, the earlier conspiratorial claims of Attorney General Pambondi,

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 4>who you were just hearing, FBI Director Cash Ptel, Justice

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Department Hanchos, Dan Bongino, and others. In other words, wanted

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 4>to uncover a trafficking ring. They're investigators, had to tell

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 4>them the bad news. We've looked into all of this

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 4>stuff and there isn't one right both parties over the

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 4>course of years. We mentioned this last hour, but it's

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 4>worth mentioning again. Another revealing document, and you're not hearing about.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, these news outlets are looking through all these documents.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 4>You haven't heard about this one. Another revealing document. This

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 4>one highlighted by the independent journalist Michael Tracy, is an

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 4>eighty six page mon memo from back in December twenty nineteen.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Who was president in twenty nineteen that said Joe Biden

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>was still pressed in twenty nineteen.

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>By prosecutors with the Southern District of New York. The memo,

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>intended to martial evidence against Epstein's associates, noted that Virginia Girfree,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I never know how to pronounce her name, that poor

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>woman that you've seen in all the pictures with Prince

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Andrew and all that stuff, and then she killed herself

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>last year. The accuser primarily responsible for stories of a

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>sex slave in blackmail ring, she's the poster child for it.

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Was in fact a fabulous and totally unreliable as a

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>courtroom witness. That's a ninety page memo from the Southern

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>District of New York back during the Biden administration. Yeah,

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>she just as unreliable as a witness, you know, And

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>she's all kinds of damage. That's how she ended up

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in that situation. And then taking ad Ye's right and

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>then taking advantage of more which you damaged or even more.

0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.079
<v Speaker 1>Why isn't that like a lead piece of knowledge that

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody has of the Epstein files at this point. I mean,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>if you do a big.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Overarching version of the Epstein story, she's going to be

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 4>in the first five seconds.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And they looked into it.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 4>It sounds like at great length a particular law office

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 4>in our judicial system that hated Republicans certainly and hated Trump,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 4>and they said, oh, we can't, he can't, we can't.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Go with anything. She says, it's just it's unfortunate, but

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 1>we can't. At the height of the post January sixth,

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump is hitler. We'll never have another election in our lives.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>One of the most democratic jurisdictions in the country said, no,

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing there.

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.839
<v Speaker 4>What I got time for this next one because I

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 4>think it's good the Epstein's crime. Epstein's crimes were confined

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 4>to himself and a few nagblers, chiefly Gallaine Maxwell. It

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 4>was intolerable to influencers and politicos determined to attribute all

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 4>bad things to the dark workings of cabal's. Tucker Carlson

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 4>conjectured that Epstein worked with the massad to blackmail it's enemies.

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Bud Your radicals in the House, including Thomas Massey Republican,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Rocanna Democrat Jamie Raskin Democrat, relentlessly speculate that Epstein serviced

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 4>the rich and powerful and odious ways. These exhibitionists have

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 4>yet to receive any criticism from the anti misinformation crowd.

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 4>I love that, remember misinformation end even worse h disinformation. Oh,

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 4>it's supposed to be what's going to bring down this nation,

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 4>but you don't mind it.

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>In this case, there was no those examples are are perfect.

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I was just about to say, the reason this keeps

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>going the way it is is its fuel for whatever

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>fire you're intent on spreading. If it's down with the Jews,

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you'll say the massade is involved. If it's down with

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats, you'll say it's a plot by the Democrats

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>like Bongino and company. We're doing until they got power

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and realized there's nothing there. If if you're Jamie Raskin

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and the fire you want to set as the Republicans

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>or Epstein and coddling pervs, that's perfect. It's again the

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>pot of gold is empty. All it is is a

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>sordid pervo and his networking.

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 4>And then, because I know people like this personally, if

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 4>you're a lean toward the conspiracy theory, they're all Trump,

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 4>Clinton's Hollywood, They're all guilty. We're all it's a giant

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.079
<v Speaker 4>network of power that is against us, and we need

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 4>to keep fighting a good fight to unleash this. One

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.479
<v Speaker 4>more paragraph here. There was in the end, no sex slavering,

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 4>no blackmail operation, no cameras recording dalliances for later use,

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 4>no client list, Just a deeply sick and rich predator with.

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>A few enablers. That's that little piece is lost on

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. And honestly, I wish everybody in America

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>had listened to this show for several reasons. But if

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>they did, I would think, Okay, that's our last word

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>on the topic, because those who are not satisfied by

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>all of that evidence from every direction, I mean, as

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>bipartisan as anything could possibly be. If you're not satisfied

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 1>by that, there is no satisfying you, and I'm through.

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with the discussion. It's the discussion you walk

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 1>away from saying there's no point in continuing this.

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, if everybody in the country listened to the show,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 4>my driver would be sitting out in front of my

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 4>stretch Bentley, keeping it warm for four hours.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Till I walk out of here because you demand it

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 1>to be precisely seventy six degrees.

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.439
<v Speaker 4>And then when I get close to the Bentley, I

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.199
<v Speaker 4>would have somebody disrobe me, put a towel around.

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>My shoulders, and then I would get into the Bentley

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>like you're Freddie Mercury. I love that picture. He gets

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>done with the show, all sweaty, runs out to the limo.

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>They put a towel over me right exactly. Oh my god.

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 4>We got some good stuff on AI and the declining

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 4>birth rate a really good explanation kind of different than

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 4>anything I'd ever heard for the worldwide declining birth rate.

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Bunch of stuff. I hope you can stay here strong.

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>They sell pie at Ace Hardware. It's like the autos

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and seafood boil, but even better.

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 6>BlackBerry apricot, BlackBerry blueberry.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go strawberry rhubarb. I've had many a strawberry

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>rubarb pie in my life, and this one has a

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect amount of tang and the texture is almost like pudding.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a loss for words.

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 7>Is probably one of the best pies I've had.

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Go to Ace Hardware, I guess, and get your pie.

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I like tang myself. So my hardware uh sells pies, yes,

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.680
<v Speaker 4>And I didn't know that they all did. I didn't

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.719
<v Speaker 4>know it was a change.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Completely unaware of this. Yeah, mine does and I always

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of weird.

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 4>But like, right by where you check out, they got

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 4>a freezer case full of they look like home baked

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 4>pies frozen. You gotta cook them for like an hour

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 4>in the oven. It's not like a quick, you know,

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 4>grabbing go sort of pie, but they're.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Really RDEA was that? And can I shake his hat?

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 4>They're really good And strawberry Rubarbi is one of my

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 4>favorite all time pies.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, are they gonna start selling socket sets at

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the pie store? Now?

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 4>What was the AutoZone seafood something or other?

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that one's AutoZone got live lobsters in

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a thing by the checkout. That'll be eight fifty for

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>your aar filter. Would you're like a nice bowl of chippino.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>I need a new car battery and that lobster there

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 4>because that one looks delicious, yes, sack Katie.

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, apparently AutoZone sells seafood boils in like a bag,

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 7>so it has like.

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>The crab Day in your lane, he says, somewhat ironically. Wow,

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>who's I seriously? You know what we need to jazz

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>up our hardware business is the selling of baked goods.

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, if you had the scones at Famous Footwear, they're fantastic.

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>That's just dot. Yeah.

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people who do kind of home projects,

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 4>construction stuff going to the hardware place. Kind of person

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 4>that's gonna eat a pie on a whim. I gets

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 4>impulse pie buyer.

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, see, you got your two before as you got

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>your screws, you got your drill bits, you got a

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of rolls at duct Tape. And the nice lady

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>at the register says to you, were you able to

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>find everything? You say, yeah, but I really got a

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>hanker in for pie. And that just happens so many times.

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They decided I'm not against it. I'm just flabbergasted by it.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I couldn't find an apple pie frozen apple pie

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 4>the size of an NFL football.

<v Speaker 1>Do you have those?

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we do right over there.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 4>and answer questions that are It's just fantastic. I've never

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 4>compared prices. I just buy my stuff in leaf, but uh,

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 4>it's worth something to have somebody there can actually answer

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 4>a question for you, whether it's where do I find

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 4>this or how do you use this? Whereas some of

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>your bigger locations, Giant Great practically a depot for home

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 4>construction stuff.

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, I'm intrigued by this idea. There's not an employee

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to talk to anywhere, no no end, no pause. You know,

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>speaking of your if you have to ask, you can't

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>afford it attitude toward hardware Jack. The super rich are

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>turning their houses into fortresses. We'll tell you about that

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit. Also a very serious and important

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>gender Bending Madness update coming up in just a few minutes.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, if I have to pay six cents for these

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 4>two screws as opposed to four cents, I'll just call

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 4>the ult.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen to I'm lording his wealth over the rest of us.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 4>Some of my purchases at hardware stores are shockingly small.

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, King Midas, whatever something you need so bad?

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>You got to drive all the way there and talk

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to somebody and everything like that, and then the total

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>bills like a dollar eighty. It's a surprising to me.

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if I need to watch this size, ah yeah,

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 4>we got gender bending Madness.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>We got AI is about to take over the world.

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Another one of those stories. You'll love that. If you

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>demand Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.959
<v Speaker 4>This AI story, maybe get to it next hour. It's

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 4>a guy who's been building a variety of AI things

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 4>for the last six years, living in that world and says,

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 4>we're in a basically right at the beginning beginning of

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 4>COVID phase with AI. Remember when it first started and

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 4>you're like, oh, what is this going to be that

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 4>big a deal?

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like people are over and all of a

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 1>sudden the world changed. Chilling comparison. Yeah, it really is,

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 1>plus an explanation of the whole El Paso Airport closing thing.

0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Turns out the Trump administration, as it is in many things,

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 1>is so anti Biden they'll shoot at anything in the

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>sky in contrast to litting in known Chinese spy balloons

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>spy away for weeks. Anyway, the l Passo explanation coming

0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>up right now, though it is an unusually an important

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>gender bending madness update. So I kept hearing about this

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>thing called by the loco We're a brave must drop

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the disco music down, Michael, because this is serious stuff.

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>There was an absolutely horrific school shooting in Canada the

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>other day in which at least eight innocents were killed,

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>including little children, and the shooter was once again a

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>transgender person. Dwayne. Oh, I'm sorry, what is his actual

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 1>first name? Jesse Van Rutzelaire a biological male who approximately

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>six years ago began to transition to female and identify

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>as female. He was known to have mental health the

0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>problems through the years. Initial ports on CNN sounded like this.

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.159
<v Speaker 5>Fifteen new details about a deadly mass shooting in a small,

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 5>tight knit community in tumblr Ridge, Canada. Mobile phone messages

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 5>warned of an active shooter, describing the suspect as a

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 5>woman wearing a dress with brown hair. Police say a

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 5>long gun and a modified handgun were used, and disclosed

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.920
<v Speaker 5>that authorities were called to the suspect's home several times

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 5>for mental health emergencies and firearms offenses.

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 1>That was actually fairly responsible as reports go, because that

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>was the initial report. But everybody knew by then that

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a confused transgender teenager eighteen years old. And

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.120
<v Speaker 1>as who is this, It's.

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 4>Amazing how often it is someone that cops have been

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 4>to their house many times.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, As Bethany Mandel writes in The New York Post,

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 1>another mass shooting, another devastated community, and once again elits

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in the media, class and public officials are so terrified

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.439
<v Speaker 1>of offending that they don't ask, don't dare ask the

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>obvious question, why are so many of the most horrifying

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 1>attacks carried out by people who identify as trans and

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they go through. The Nashville transgender identified shooter and murdered

0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.119
<v Speaker 1>six people at a Christian school in Minneapolis. Another attacker

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>documented gender identity turmoil targeted at church. The alleged murder

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.679
<v Speaker 1>of Charlie Kirk had transgender boyfriend and believed in it

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was a hardcore transgender activist type. But the media insists

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that violence by mentally ill people in their transgender identity

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>is mere coincidence. Critics are bullied into silence and warned

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 1>not to stigmatized. Questioning is dangerous, cruel, it's bigotry. Exploring

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 1>whether transgender identity may signal deeper psychological distress is forbidden.

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Professionals who dare to raise concerns are threatened with loss

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of their licenses, reputation, professional reputation, livelihood. The dogma has consequences,

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 1>as another community has learned the hard way. Let's admit it.

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Believing you're the opposite of your bio logical sex is

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>simply not a normal or neutral position. It's quite likely

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>often a sign of some kind of psychological distress, perhaps

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>accompanied by depression, disassociation, autism, spectrum disorders, self harm, suicidal ideation,

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 1>and extreme social ideation. That doesn't mean every person with

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>gender dyspory is violent or even deeply sick, but it

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>does mean that when young people are spiraling, we shouldn't

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.160
<v Speaker 1>ignore the signs or, worse, affirm their delusions. A last

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.479
<v Speaker 1>mental health professionals insist we do just that. God, I

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:31.880
<v Speaker 1>assume that a lot of us.

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 4>If our teenager came to us and said, hey, I

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.119
<v Speaker 4>think I'm a boy or I think I'm a girl,

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.680
<v Speaker 4>different than what they have been living as their whole lives,

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 4>my first thought would be, you know what else?

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>What other issues do we have going on here? Now? Oh?

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, cool, Well let's get started on the transitioning because

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure everything is perfectly okay.

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. You wouldn't think, oh my gosh, this is

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 1>genderness for you. You'd think, oh my gosh, what psychological

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 1>problems maladies challenges are we dealing with that has led

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>to this. It's a symptom, it's not a cast.

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 4>And it's one week after the first successful lawsuit against

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 4>a doctor and a psychologist by somebody who was encouraged

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 4>to transition, who then, like you, maame an adult said

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:22.479
<v Speaker 4>you shouldn't have done that.

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've got some new stuff on that very front. Yeah,

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to mention this real quickly and we can

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>dig into this more. But this sort of thing is

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be happening more and more and more. The

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Office of Pierce County Sheriff. This is in Oregon, Keith

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Swank in the puell I'm sorry, it's a Washington State.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Puyallup School District confirmed Tuesday they are a conducting investigation

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:46.640
<v Speaker 1>into alleged sexual assault against a female Puyallup High School wrestler.

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 1>She reported the alleged assault to school officials and her coach,

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.360
<v Speaker 1>but the family contends administration failed to take meaningful action

0:22:55.440 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 1>to protect and investigate her claims of sexual assault. She

0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>was wrestling somebody who was presenting themselves as a female

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>wrestler who was a biological male, and you know what

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.760
<v Speaker 1>happened was definitely sexual assault if it was anywhere close

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to intentional, but she had no idea it was a

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>biological male at the time. Anyway, that case will I'm

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 1>sure you know play out well.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Our executive producer Hanson was following this shooting right when

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 4>it happened yesterday and picked up one broadcast in which

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.880
<v Speaker 4>they said the gun person, which was the first time

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:34.360
<v Speaker 4>anybus had ever heard that term instead of gunman.

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>The gun person. Actually, this is an MP amount E

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 1>clip fifty two, Michael, go ahead and roll out.

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 6>The other questions were just to clarify the number. There

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 6>were eight people in total found deceased. Is that correct?

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 8>So we have nine total people deceased. We found eight

0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 8>in tumblr Ridge in twos and then another was deceased

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 8>during ablatory transport to the clinic.

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 6>Okay, and none of those people are the gun person.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:12.679
<v Speaker 8>That includes the deceased gun person.

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 4>Okay, when did gun Now did they move Maybe in

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.959
<v Speaker 4>Canada they've moved on from mailman to mail carrier and

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 4>fireman to fire what do we call people? Fire people, firefighters, firefighters.

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they did that a long time ago with gunman.

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, But that's the first time I've heard

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:28.920
<v Speaker 4>gun person.

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>No, because it was a gunman and they didn't want

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 1>to say that because they are so far down the

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>woke Highway in Canada. But all of this is kind

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 1>of a lead up to what I wanted to get to,

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 1>and this is so it's so painful because it's so

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>typical and so obvious to a lot of us what

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I suffered being transgender. This is an opinion piece written

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>by Soren Aldaco in the Wall Street Journal. I'm suing

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the people who did this to me, and the Texas

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court heard my case this week. When I was eleven,

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:58.439
<v Speaker 1>I began identifying as transgender. I had gone down a

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>rabbit hole of websites and nie sh online forms. There

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I met a friend, an artist who was fourteen, whom

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 1>I admired and looked up to. We both felt different,

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>out of place in society. Born ten years earlier, we

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>would have been called tomboys. Instead, we writhed under the

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>pressure of the quote unquote female role. The internet told us.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>The logical conclusion of that struggle was to identify as boys.

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I come from a broken home. While my mother and

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>stepfather have always loved me, my stepfather became severely disabled

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 1>when I was three, leaving me feeling as though I

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>had to raise myself. I eventually reached out to my

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>biological father around a decade later, when he and my

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 1>step mother saw my distress and were told by a

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 1>psychiatrists that this distress was related to my transgender identity.

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 1>They began to consider the benefits of affirming me in

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>my transition. Too young to vote, too young to drink,

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I became immersed in the idea that hormones and surgeries

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>would fix me. At the transgender support group I attended,

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 1>most of the focus was on who was starting hormones

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and how it was going for them. I was envious.

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted the same feeling of affirmation they had. Many

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 1>of them were on hormones prescribed by a nurse practitioner

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>who attended the GRIPS. When I was seventeen, I went

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>with my stepmother to see that nurse practitioner who prescribed

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 1>testosterone and estrogen blockers. Thirty minutes later. These hormones were

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the many medical interventions I pursued in my teens.

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>At nineteen, I had top surgery of Euphemism for an

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>elective double mastectomy. My surgeon made sure to facilitate my

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>physical transitioning as much as possible, spoon feeding me talking

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 1>points for insurance coverage. I donned rain boher medical knee

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>braces and prescription compression socks for my surgery date. I

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was on more than ten different medications when I went

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:35.879
<v Speaker 1>under the knife. Then she suffered major complications that her

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>surgeon wouldn't see her for. She had to finally go

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to the emergency room. It was ugly, but kind of

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 1>off the topic. Although you're mutilating confused adolescents with experimental

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>sex change surgeries, Yeah, sometimes they go terribly wrong. It's

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 1>probably worth considering, but anyway, she writes, I made the

0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 1>decision of face who I really was, without the medicine,

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>without the hormone or additional surgeries. Six months after this experience,

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>while taking classes at the University of Texas at Austin,

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I began to make sense of my transgender identity through

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>the lens of human development, piecing together my turbulent family

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>life and adolescent Internet habits, among other things, it dawned

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 1>on me that I had never been born in the

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>wrong body. There's no way to be born in the

0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 1>wrong body at all. Today, at twenty three, I'm giving

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>myself the grace to understand my gifts and purpose. Through

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 1>this journey of self exploration, I've come to realize how

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:31.679
<v Speaker 1>coercive gender identity ideology was for me, disguising harm as compassion.

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I also realized that sometimes the compassionate response is one

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that sets firm boundaries. When I sued my medical providers

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty three, holding the line between helping and

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>enabling was my aim. In Texas, the statute of limitations

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.920
<v Speaker 1>for medical malpractice claim is generally two years from the

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>date and the malpractice occurred. Unfortunately, people agreed about whether

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>malpractice refers to the action itself or the harm the

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 1>action causes. She goes into the legal ease. I'd like

0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:58.959
<v Speaker 1>to think that these days, I'm realistic. I know how

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the law works. My case could still fail for reasons

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that have nothing to do with what happened to me.

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>What I experienced at the hand of my nurse, practitioner, therapists,

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and surgery team was wrong. People like me deserve justice.

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I believe that God places burdens on people who can

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>carry them, and I trust that whatever comes next will

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 1>be made right in time. This young lady who is

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>so mutilated uses the term transgender only in quotes. It

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>is not a legitimate medical diagnosis, never has been, and,

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>as the editorialist in The New York Post points out,

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>both our media and some of our woke medical associations

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 1>ignore all of the mountain of evidence that's made Europe

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>go completely in the other direction. They just pretend it

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exist. It's terrible. You're going to see so many

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of these suits, hundreds of them, maybe thousands of them,

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and as you've expressed, maybe that'll stop the experimentation on

0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>confused gets highly troubling inderpending madness update. Speaking of operations quickly,

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>so Lindsey Vaughn.

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 4>He celebrated skier who tried it one more time at

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 4>age forty two with a torn acl and crashed right

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 4>away and broke bones. Has had three operations since the

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 4>weekend and yesterday her quote was I'm defining success in

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 4>a completely different way than I was a couple of

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 4>days ago, which made me think, are you, like, in

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 4>the how am I ever going to walk again? Or

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 4>all that sort of stuff. Situations are certainly when I

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 4>will walk again. Did you see the apparatus that's holding

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 4>her leg together.

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>No, it's one of those post you know, serious injury,

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, network of braces and pins and wires and

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. It looks like, you know, the internals

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of a dirigible or something like that holding her leg together.

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>They called it a complex fracture do you know what

0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Don't want that now? Three different surgeries already,

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah, multiple breaks displaced. Oh god knows what else.

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>We have a little better Olympic stuff for him. Lots

0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of things to talk about, so stay here, arm Straw

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and Getty.

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 9>Following his bronze medal finish and biathlon sterla Holm Lagrid

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 9>made a tearful plea for forgiveness on live TV. Six

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 9>months ago, I met the love of my life, he said,

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 9>but then admitted that three months into the relationship he

0:30:32.040 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 9>cheated on her. The Norwegian by athlete got a response

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 9>from his girlfriend. She wrote, it's hard to forgive even

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 9>after a declaration of love in front of the whole world.

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 9>Laggert said his girlfriend ended their relationship before the Games,

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 9>but he hoped she would realize how much he loves her.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 9>The unnamed woman thrown into an Olympic whirlwind wrote, I

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 9>did not choose to be put in this position, and

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 9>it hurts to have to be.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Caught up in it. Winning the gold medal for heartbreak, Katie,

0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you were shaking your head and rolling your eyes.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 7>Because this is a narcissist and it's finest. The love

0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 7>of my life. Then don't cheat on her? How about that?

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 7>And then he puts pressure on her by doing this

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 7>whole dramatic thing at the Olympics.

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Spare me, you know, or he's just really kind of

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>flighty emotionally because he declares her the love of his

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:27.880
<v Speaker 1>life three months in, cheats on her, then wins an

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Olympic medal and says, I can't enjoy this because I

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>ruined my life because I threw away the love of

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>my life. Decided to make that part of his big

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.360
<v Speaker 1>announcement to the world. Yeah, and then his teammate who

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>got the golds, Like, okay, now nobody has any questions

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>for me. Everybody's asking you about your freaking love life

0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the great thanks buddy, I got a girlfriend. I didn't

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 1>cheat on her, So two words, run chick. He's a

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>handsome devil. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, So perhaps

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you heard about the sudden and mysterious closing of the

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>El Paso Airport. It would appear the explanation is as

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned earlier, that the Trump administration certainly Customs and

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Border Patrol is as anti Biden as it can be,

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>which probably won't surprise you given the policies. Whereas the

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration let a Chinese spy balloon that was known

0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a Chinese spy balloon float over the country

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and gather all the data it wanted. Because of idiotic,

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 1>kindergarten level fears of shooting it down, the Trump administration

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>will blast them, but jesus out of anything in the air.

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>They don't know what it is, including, as it turns out,

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>a birthday balloon. It would seem that the Customs and

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Border Protection folks have been loaned an anti drone laser

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>from the Department of eas a laser and decided to

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:53.760
<v Speaker 1>deploy it against what they thought was a drone without

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>giving aviation officials enough time to assess the risk to

0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>commercial aircraft close to an airport, because the point of

0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing is it brings down aircraft. And so the

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>FAA essentially said, and all of this should be taken

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 1>with a grain of salt. There's so many grains of

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>salt these days, those of us with high blood pressure

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>having trouble avoiding sodium because everything that everybody says is suspect.

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, allegedly, after the Customers and Border Protection blasted

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>this birthday balloon out of the sky, the FAA was

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>so pissed off they said we're closing the airport in

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 1>nearby airspace for ten days, which maniacs. Yeah. Yeah, And

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the administration then weighed in and said, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody calmed down. You stop shooting lasers around airports. You

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:49.960
<v Speaker 1>open the damn airport. People need to get places. That's

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:53.720
<v Speaker 1>what it seems to be. Man, there's just a lack

0:33:53.800 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of grownups everywhere. True, yes, yeah. I'd also point out

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 1>one final note on the main story. Then your tangent

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:11.839
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely true. Anti drone technology as it exists right

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 1>now is really problematic around airports. Yeah. Sure, and the

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 1>evil doers probably know that. So the what do we

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 1>do about drones conundrum is going to be rat lasting

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the rest of our lives.

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.439
<v Speaker 4>Getting a lot of texts wanting me to name the

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 4>kind of restaurant that my boys and I walked into

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 4>last night that smelled like an open sewer, and I

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 4>just don't think I'm going to. I don't feel like

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 4>it'll do me any good. It did, turn out, I

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 4>didn't know what the restaurant was as brand new it

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 4>opened up, and as we approached the door, it smelled

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 4>like a porta potty, and then I thought it was

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 4>just somebody outside, and then we went in. It smelled

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:54.919
<v Speaker 4>like that in the restaurant. It was just a culture.

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Difference, I guess, or could it be they used strong

0:34:58.000 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 1>cleaning fluids that reminded you of the scent oh the

0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:04.280
<v Speaker 1>modern port upon my son some of the pungent cooking

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 1>smells mixed with it.

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 4>And my son was like, oh, my god. Well, we

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.600
<v Speaker 4>did have an all pair from this land for a while,

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 4>and when this all pair would cook, it smelled similarly.

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 4>So there is a certain area of the world that

0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:22.280
<v Speaker 4>the cooking, to me anyway, reminiscent of Armstrong
