1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:01,400 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Weekend Review, Ben 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 2: Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories that 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 2: you may have missed that we talked about this week. 5 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: First up, we may be finding out a lot more 6 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: about what Harvard has been doing with your tax dollars 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 2: this as the President has said, we are going to 8 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: stop sending many to Harvard after some of their radical 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: ideology has been on full display, including rewarding students with 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: big grants who went after Jewish students. Will have those 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: details for you in just a second. Also, in PR, 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: are we going to defund them? It looks like there's 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: a very good chance MPR may have to stand on 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: their own two legs for the first time ever. Why 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: will this happen and what could it mean for your 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: tax dollars? And finally, Planned Parenthood in an undercover sting 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: operations exposed for prescribing hormones for minors. When it comes 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: to with gender affirming care, it's the week Can Review 19 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: and it starts right now as they fight this final question, 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: is there an opportunity through this legal challenge for us 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: to even be able to find out more about what 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: Harvard is doing? Is that part of what could happen 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: in the upside here is Hey, we get to ask 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: more questions, we get to see more behind the books, 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: we get to see more of the propaganda that we 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: were talking about right now. 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: That is absolutely right, And I'm going to say the 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: facts are going to get worse and worse as they 29 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 3: come out. Harvard doesn't want people to know the fact. So, 30 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: for example, there were a whole series of stories that 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: came out about the Harvard Law Review. Now, now, what 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 3: is the Harvard Law Review. The Harvard Law Review is 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: a legal journal that's at Harvard Law School that has 34 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: eighty students who are student editors. And getting on the 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: Law Review is incredibly prestigious. It is incredibly difficult to do. 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: Typical Harvard Law School class is about five hundred and 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: sixty people, so you have about forty people out of 38 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: five sixty that make it on the class make it 39 00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: on the Law Review. 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: When I'm there, I was on the Law Review. 41 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: When I was there, roughly half of the editors on 42 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: the Law Review made it from a combination of grades 43 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: and a week long, incredibly arduous writing competition. Another roughly 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: half made it from purely the writing competition, But when 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: I say roughly half, at the time it was thirty 46 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: two where grades in writing, thirty two were just writing 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: and then eight were reserved for affirmative action. That's when 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: I was there. Now, by all appearances, it has gotten 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: much worse. It was brazen then, It was racially discriminatory then, 50 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: but it is now much worse. The Harvard Law Law 51 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: Review now uses race explicitly to number one select their editors. 52 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, becoming an editor at the Law 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 3: Review increases your chances of getting a judicial clerkship, dramatically 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: increases your chances of getting a Supreme Court clerkship, dramatically 55 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: increases your chances of getting hired by a big prestigious 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: law firm that pays a lot of money, dramatically increases 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: your chances of becoming a professor at a prestigious university dramatically. 58 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 3: So the Law Review is a major gateway to elite 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: success in the legal world. And the Harvard Law Review 60 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 3: now in writing, they are quite open in saying that 61 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: that they will discriminate for editors based on race, and 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 3: they will also discriminate on the articles they pick. So, 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: for example, in a twenty twenty four memo. One journal 64 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: article argue that the fact that the author was quote 65 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: not from an underrepresented background was a negative when it 66 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: came to evaluating the piece for publication. There is a 67 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: Quote Holistic Review Committee, which now selects nearly half the 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: student editors and has made the inclusion of quote underrepresented 69 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: groups its first priority. You're saying violates Title six. 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: So to be clear, you're there's a chance now that 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: if you were at Harvard you wouldn't get picked. Is 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: that what you're telling me? 73 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, and you don't know, So 74 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: I say that what's interesting about it is you genuinely 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: don't know. Is one of the things that they're very 76 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: clever in how they discriminate, because you don't know on 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: what basis you were admitted. I had the grades to 78 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: get in on grades, and I think I did well 79 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: in the writing competition, but I have no idea which 80 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: of the slots I was in, because nobody does. They 81 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: don't tell you. They just announced the forty editors that 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: have gotten in, So I don't know. But I'll tell 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: you a story I've told before. So when I was 84 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: on the Law of You, there were a number of 85 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: conservative editors, and we made a run at ending affirmative 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: action in the law of you. 87 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: And I have to admit I sat. 88 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 3: Back there was we were all eighty of us were 89 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: gathered in a classroom and we were debating this, and 90 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 3: there were some other students that were really kind of 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: leading the charge, some other conservatives. 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: I agreed with them, but I also could care votes. 93 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: And out of the eighty students there were maybe eight 94 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: or ten of us that were conservatives. We were a 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: tiny minority. So I was like, look, we ain't gonna 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: win the vote, but all right, this is fine, let's 97 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: have the debate. So we're having the debate, and I 98 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: was sitting in the back. It was fairly quiet, and 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: I remember this one supercilious liberal stood up and said, 100 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: if we eliminate affirmative action, the Harvard Law Review will 101 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: be nothing but white men. And I have to admit 102 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 3: I was kind of a little bit checked out in 103 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: the back of the room and I heard that, and 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: that pissed me off, and I said, you know what, 105 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: you want to understand why affirmative action is so insidious. 106 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: The arrogance of that imbecile just showed it. His belief 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: as an enlightened leftist is that if merit were the 108 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: only criterion, only white men would get in, that no 109 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 3: one who is African American would get in. Who is Hispanic? 110 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: And let's be clear, I'm Hispanic. He's sitting there. And 111 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: in fact, I I said, all right, big guy, you 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 3: want to pull your transcript out in my transcript and 113 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: drop him on the table right there, Let's see what 114 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: pure merit produces. But there was something even more dripping 115 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: in his leftist condescension, which is, at the time, the 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: Harvard affirmative Action program did not include gender, so there 117 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: was not affirmative action for women. And I said to 118 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: all the women editors, do you hear what he just 119 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: said to you? He believes if it's pure merit, no 120 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: women would make it. And by the way, historically all 121 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: the women editors who were liberals voted against adding gender 122 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: to affirmative action because they recognized that if it was 123 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: added to it that that people it would devalue what 124 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: they had accomplished. But it showed just the absolute arrogance 125 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 3: of the left when it comes to embracing racism, because 126 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, they that they look 127 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: down on the poor benighted people that will only succeed 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: in life with their beneficence. And by the way, the 129 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: price for that beneficence is for them to be loyal 130 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: and obedient for the rest of their lives. I mean, 131 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 3: that is the very explicit left wing charter the affirmative Action. 132 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Is based on, which brings us to another story where 133 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: this stuff started on college campuses and now it's made 134 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: our way into courtrooms. The Tesla Arson suspect one of them, 135 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of mout there, right, but this 136 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: one specifically, and we'll get to the story of what 137 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: happened here in a second, but has been quote released 138 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: because of gender transition. Would be at risk if they 139 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: didn't release. So if you're going to jail, just say 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: you're doing a gender transition and apparently then the law 141 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: cannot hold you accountable for your terrorist actions. 142 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: So there's an individual named Owen McIntyre who was on 143 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: spring break in Missouri and he firebombed to Tesla cyber tree. 144 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: He threw molotov cocktails, he fire bombed it. He got caught, 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: and he was charged charged with domestic terrorism. And then 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: what happened is his federal public defender argued that going 147 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 3: to jail will disrupt his gender affirming medical care, which 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: began in March of this year. It is likely to 149 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: be interrupted or terminated entirely if he remains in pre 150 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: trial detention. And the federal magistrate judge bought that argument 151 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: and let him go. 152 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: And let me say one. 153 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 3: Of the craziest things about this story. You and I 154 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: Ben spent twenty minutes trying to figure out if this 155 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: defendant is male or female. 156 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: By the way, and the pride he's not lying. I 157 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: want to be clear about that. We literally are googling 158 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: everything is a dude is a chick? If we don't 159 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: know what it is like, that's the insanity of the. 160 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: Where we live, and we can't tell. And you and 161 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: I actually disagree.

They're throwing 186 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: Molotov cocktails, and it is. It is woke politics taken 187 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: to the level of insanity, that that that to get 188 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: a sex change treatment is now reason to be forgiven 189 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: for domestic terrorism, although to be fair, it's not forgiven. 190 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: It's released from pre trialed attention. But it is still insane. 191 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: Well, but it's it's helping you, right, it's helping you 192 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: not be held accountable for your actions. And it's also 193 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: I think pretty clear that we're saying, if you want 194 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: to not be held accountable for your actions, just claim 195 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: something that's woke, and these radical judges will be like, oh, 196 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: we totally understand.

Now onto story number two. There 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: may be accountability coming very very soon. When it comes 209 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: to the issue of NPR. This is something that the 210 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: presidents talked about a lot taxpayers don't like it. It's 211 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: been pretty obvious that at MPR in PBS there's a 212 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: lot of our tax dollars that are going to activists 213 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: and to those in the far left that want to 214 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: indoctrinate people through our tax dollars, and now accountability may 215 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: be coming to NPR. 216 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: Well, that's right. 217 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: So the President signed an executive order ending the tax 218 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 3: fair subsidy of NPR and PBS, both of which received 219 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: millions from taxpayers, and they're just part of and propaganda outlets. 220 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 3: The order reads as follows by the authority vested to 221 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: me as President by the Constitution and the laws of 222 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: the United States. It is hereby ordered NPR and PBS 223 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: they will be shut down from cash. And let me 224 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: read some facts on NPR. So NPR ran a story 225 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: entitled quote Cannibalism It's perfectly natural, in which the author 226 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: look like, by the way, how am I saying this? 227 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: How is this real? The author describes. 228 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: Eating in others humans plus centa. So let me read 229 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: this excerpt for this is from an NPR story. In 230 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: the book, you describe getting invited over for dinner by 231 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: one of your sources to eat her placenta. 232 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: How was that? Was it good? Yeah? 233 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: It was really the prep that made it taste good. 234 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: Granted the husband was a chef, so he knew how 235 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 3: to prepare it Osubuka style and used a really nice wine. 236 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: I had bought it smelled great, it didn't taste bad. 237 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it again. I don't have any regrets 238 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 3: I did this. So I just want to go back 239 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: to the title NPR cannibalism. It's perfectly natural, all right. 240 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one, another story, NPR said the Declaration 241 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 3: of Independence was a document with quote flaws and deeply 242 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: ingrained hypocrisies. Here's what they wrote, The Declaration is a 243 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies. It also laid 244 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: the foundation for our collective aspirations, our hope for what 245 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: America could be. So in that spirit, here again is 246 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence, as read by the NPR staff. 247 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: So that was twenty twenty one where they just crapped 248 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: on the Declaration of Independence and then they read it. 249 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 3: You know what they did in twenty twenty two, what's that? 250 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 3: They said, We're not going to read the Declaration of 251 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: Independence anymore. So it was a long tradition, And in 252 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 3: twenty they tweeted the following this July fourth, we break 253 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: with tradition. Instead of reading the Declaration of Independence, we 254 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 3: examine what a quality means and is meant in this document. 255 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: Important segment about our past and future. That so the 256 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: Declaration of Independence is apparently no longer allowed on NPR 257 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: because apparently hating America is NPR's mission. 258 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: Yet again, your tax dollar is hard at work here, 259 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: So there's going to be pushback, right, there's gonna be 260 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: fighting here. Ultimately, what are the chances that this sticks 261 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: and that we actually say, hey, you're not getting tax 262 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: dours for this radical agenda that you're pressing and trying 263 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: to indoctrinate on so many people. 264 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: So look, I am hopeful. I want it to happen. 265 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: I'm fighting for it to happen. Let me give you 266 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 3: another example. NPR issued an editor's note warning that the 267 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: Declaration of Independence is quote a document that contains offensive language. 268 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: And here this was in twenty twenty two editor's note 269 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: on July eighth, twenty twenty two. The story quotes the 270 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 3: US Declaration of Independence a document that contains offensive language 271 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: about Native Americans, including a racial slur. That was what 272 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: they were saying the Declaration they find offensive in the NPR. 273 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:29,359 Speaker 3: Also in twenty nineteen, they apologized for calling illegal immigrants 274 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: illegal and they posted. 275 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: Quote, sorry, that was a mistake. 276 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: NPR's policy is not to characterize people as illegal. By 277 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 3: the way, in federal law, an illegal alien is referred 278 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: to as an illegal alien. 279 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: That is in the United States Code. 280 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: But NPR says, we slip up from time to time, 281 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: but we'll keep working hard to get it right. They 282 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 3: also here was another story NPR sounded the alart about 283 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: young men who abstained from masturbating to pornography. And here 284 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: was the headline of the story in NPR in twenty 285 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: twenty four. Masturbation abstinence is popular online. Doctors and therapists 286 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: are worried, like what the hell? Here was another story. 287 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: NPR featured a Valentine's Day story around quote queer animals, 288 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: in which it suggested the make believe clownfish in Finding 289 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: Nemo would have been better off as a female. And 290 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: that quote banana slugs are hermaphrodites, and that quote some 291 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: deer are non binary. The title of the story was 292 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: Manny Loves Cayenne plus five facts about queer animals for 293 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 3: Valentine's Day. Okay, these people are freaks. Queer animals for 294 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: Valentine's Day. This is what they're writing. By the way, 295 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 3: a year ago, this was twenty twenty four, Valentine's Day. 296 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 3: They also devoted a panel to what it means to 297 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: be woke and to quote white privilege, and the title 298 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: was stay woke. This this is this is all right, 299 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 3: I'll give you another story. They routinely promote chemical and 300 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 3: surgical mutilation of children, calling it quote gender affirming care, 301 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: without mentioning the irreversible damage caused by these procedures. And finally, 302 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one, a PBS program aired a quote 303 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: children's programs, this is what they're talking about to kids, 304 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: featuring a drag queen named little Miss hot Mess. And 305 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 3: here's drag Queen. Little Miss hot Mess sings the hips 306 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: on the drag queen go Swish Swiss Squish to a 307 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 3: virtual child audience on an episode of Let's Learn This 308 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 3: is who they are? By the way, okay, one more 309 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 3: that I that there are two more that there's so 310 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: many they keep piling up. NPR educated the nation on 311 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: quote the whole community of gender queer, dinosaur enthusiasts and 312 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: trans Sarah toops. So here's a quote from the story. 313 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: Many people who are queer, whether they are trans or 314 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: some other form of gender queer or whatever it is, 315 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: we love dinosaurs. Along with being a dinosaur expert, Riley 316 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 3: is herself transgender. According to Riley, there is a whole 317 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 3: community of gender queer dinosaur enthusiasts online. We had no idea, 318 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 3: so we checked it out. Sure enough, they're there. We 319 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 3: found dozens of paleo artists online that identify as queer 320 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 3: type dinosaur. Into the LGBT subreddit, hundreds of results with 321 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 3: pride dinos, rainbow dinos, dino moms, dino dads, and lots 322 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 3: of puns like ali saurus, and then all right here 323 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 3: the last couple. Then PBS White House correspondent Yamichi Alsandor 324 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: characterized President Trump's patriotic twenty twenty Mount Rushmore speech as 325 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: a love letter to quote white resentment that promoted the 326 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 3: myth of America. And then all right, NPR suggested that 327 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: ar't here's something nutty.

They 360 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: have now been exposed for prescribing hormones to minors in 361 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: an undercover investigation. 362 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: Well that's right. 363 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood was caught in a sting and undercover phone 364 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: calls were made by the pro life activist group Live Action, 365 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 3: and it showed that that Planned Parenthood clinics across multiple 366 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 3: states offer cross sex hormone treatments to miners as young 367 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: as seventeen, with very little parental supervision and very little 368 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 3: medical supervision. Live Action did an undercover investigation in which 369 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: a woman posed as a sixteen year old miner and 370 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: she called dozens of Planned Parenthood locations seeking what she 371 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 3: called gender affirming care. At least seven different facilities said sure, 372 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 3: they would provide cross sex hormones at the first appointment, 373 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: So not after a long consultation, just immediately first appointment. 374 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: Come on in, we'll give you those hormones. Several instances, 375 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 3: Planned Parenthood told the caller she could choose to meet 376 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: with the provider virtually and have access to the cross 377 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: sex hormones. The very same day, and this is after 378 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: being told the person is a minor and that they 379 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 3: had just begun considering trying to medically change their sex. 380 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: In Minnesota and in Oregon, facilities there said they could 381 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 3: schedule the miner within days or even on the very 382 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: same day. This is what Planned Parenthood is doing. Five 383 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 3: different facilities stated that no prior therapy, zero, no mental 384 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 3: health clearance, and no prior documentation was needed to obtain 385 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: cross sex hormones. And understand, these hormones can do irreparable 386 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 3: damage to children. They can sterilize children, they can permanently 387 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: harm a child, and Planned Parenthood is a multi billion 388 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 3: dollar business that is more than happy to sterilize your 389 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: child without you even knowing about it. 390 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: By the way, we've got this audio and I want 391 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: to play this coming from live action where you describe 392 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: them trying to schedule this, and I want people to 393 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: listen to it.

It's very clear Planned parenthood 466 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 3: doesn't give a flip what your medical condition is. That's 467 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: not their business. They're in the business of selling. They're 468 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 3: in the business of selling abortions, which is their main business. 469 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: But they're also in the business of selling sterilizing kids. 470 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: Because look, cross sex hormones and that that includes testosterone 471 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 3: or estrogen given to the opposite gender. They're meant to 472 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: alter the body to show characteristics of the opposite gender, 473 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 3: and and they can alter the body's natural makeup. They 474 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: can alter the functions of the body, but they can 475 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 3: also result in in numerous side effects, including permanent infertility. 476 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: And and Lyla Rose, who's the president of Live Action 477 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: and a tremendous warrior standing for life here here here's 478 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 3: what Lyla Rose said. She said that the investigation exposes 479 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: quote a chilling reality that Planned Parenthood is fast tracking 480 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 3: vulnerable children into irreversible hormone treatments with almost no medical oversight. 481 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 3: These dangerous drugs can sterilize, stunt growth, and leave lifelong scars. 482 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: This is not healthcare, it is child abuse, and it 483 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: must be stopped. 484 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: It really is incredible. The last question I have to 485 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: ask you on this is after this type of information 486 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: comes out, is there any role that Congress can play 487 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: in getting involved now that we see this so clearly? 488 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and every year Planned Parenthood gets more than seven 489 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in federal tax payer dollars. That needs 490 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: to end. We need to defund Plant Parenthood. You shouldn't 491 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 3: be forced to pay for the sterilization of kids. You 492 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 3: shouldn't be forced to pay for abortion all over the country. 493 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: And so I hope we will see leadership in Congress 494 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: I'm certainly fighting the defund planned parenthood and I hope 495 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 3: we get it done this year. 496 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: Right now, as always, thank you for listening to Verdict 497 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: with Center, Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you don't forget 498 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: to deal with my podcast and you can listen to 499 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: my podcasts every other day you're not listening to Verdict 500 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: or each day when you listen to Verdict.
