Much like Republicans are always in a civil war, 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,560 Democrats are never in a civil war inside their party, 17 00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:57,359 but Republicans are always like in a civil war according 18 00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,039 to the media branding. But Democrats are always in disarray, 19 00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:06,760 and they are very sensitive to that media narrative that 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,359 they're in disarray. Democrats in disarray, but I kind of 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,079 feel like they are in disarray over the transgender athlete issue. 22 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: And I have said this many times. 23 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: I have sympathy for them on this on many things, 24 00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,879 because if I had to argue their positions, I don't 25 00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:36,599 think I could do any better because their arguments are stupid. 26 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,879 Speaker 2: So I'm sorry. 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: I mean, well, they are. They don't make any sense. 28 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,920 They're easily dismantled. And the reason they don't get them 29 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:51,799 dismantled publicly as often as they should is because they 30 00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:57,120 have the institutions you know of the media and Hollywood 31 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,719 that protect them, and they are allowed to just a 32 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:01,760 silly slogan. 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: They're allowed to. 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,079 Speaker 1: Just launch an ad hominem personal attack on somebody and 35 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,280 then that's sufficient for the media to tell whatever story 36 00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:14,080 they want to tell. Usually Republicans are bad about this 37 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:18,680 particular issue, or really any particular issue, and what that 38 00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:23,439 has done to Democrats is that has made them intellectually flabby. 39 00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,159 Right they are, They're out of practice. This is why 40 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:34,360 I always say unchallenged ideas are easy to hold. If 41 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,280 you think something and never say it out loud, you 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,159 can hold that idea for your entire life because no 43 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:47,240 one's ever challenging it. When you are challenged on your idea, 44 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,319 then it forces you to have to defend it, and 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,400 when you do that right, Resistance to pressure build strength, 46 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:01,280 and so you get pressure tested on you, your idea, 47 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240 on your opinion, and you either emerge with a better 48 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,439 understanding of your own opinion, or you've identified through that 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,439 process some weaknesses in your opinion, and you know, the 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,120 rational person would go back and reassess whether or not 51 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,919 their opinion is correct, because I don't know about you, 52 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,360 but I do not hold really any opinions that I 53 00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:33,560 know to be false. I generally don't hold those. I 54 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:37,319 think most people don't hold opinions that they know are 55 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,080 not true. Everybody thinks their opinions are true, so otherwise, 56 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,960 why would you hold them right? Why would you believe 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,680 something that you know is not true. So with the 58 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,120 transgender athlete issue, they have now found themselves between a 59 00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:00,360 rock and a hard place because they have been on 60 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,439 the wrong side of this, but their base requires them 61 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,680 to be so, even though the vast majority of Americans 62 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:14,439 are on the other side of the issue. And it started, well, 63 00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:16,839 it started a while ago, but it really it came 64 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:20,600 to a head last week. I want to say, what's today, Well, no, 65 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,759 today's the seventh. So this was, yeah, Monday. They in 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,240 the US Senate, they blocked a measure that sought to 67 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,519 ban transgender girls. This is according to CBS News. So 68 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,759 they're writing it in the preferred narrative of the leftist 69 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:46,199 activist base because as I mentioned earlier, right, these institutions 70 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,000 are captured by the progressive leftists, and so whenever the 71 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,759 leftists say, hey, we're now going to call you know, 72 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:59,600 straight men cisgender men, and we're going to call straight 73 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,319 women and cisgender women like, we're going to apply these 74 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:07,639 terms in order to you know, dilute what it means 75 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,839 to be a man. Like. 76 00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: There is a definition of what a man is. 77 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: It is a is an adult human male that is 78 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:19,279 a man, and an adult human female is a or yeah, 79 00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:23,160 is a woman like? That's these are very simple definitions. 80 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,560 They've served the human race very well for well, basically 81 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,439 since the beginning of time really, and so they have 82 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800 been put into this position by the forcing of the 83 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,480 issue through legislation at the US Senate, and they could 84 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,519 not bring themselves to say, no, we don't want men 85 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,279 playing against women in sports, right and unless it's you know, 86 00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:55,600 co ed, you know, something like that. But if you are, 87 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,879 you know, going to go into a boxing ring against 88 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,959 a woman. You should also be a woman, not a 89 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,759 transgender woman, because that's a man. That's still a man, 90 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,120 and that is not assigned at birth. It is determined 91 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:17,560 by genetics. And you can doctor up the hormones and such, 92 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,240 and you can do certain things chemically, you can even 93 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,759 castrate the guy, but it's still a man because that 94 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,160 is determined by the genetics. And I don't say any 95 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,680 of this to be mean. I say this because it 96 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,319 is the truth. And I'm not going to surrender truth 97 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:46,639 to the postmodernist leftists. I refuse to see the ground 98 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,759 ced not seed. I refuse to surrender this territory because 99 00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:56,600 it's about truth. That's the larger issue at play on 100 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,639 this topic, and it is no more stark than in athletics. 101 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,160 It is the thing that when I was growing up, 102 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:10,639 we would watch the Olympics and we would like be 103 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,560 watching all of the Soviet Union athletes to make sure 104 00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:19,319 that you know the females were actually female, right, because 105 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,240 they because the idea, the understanding was that if they 106 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:27,839 could smuggle in a man to compete against the women, 107 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:31,160 then they would win the medals. That was all that 108 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:39,000 was always understood until about a minute ago. So in 109 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,000 the Senate, this bill comes up and it fails to 110 00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:48,240 go to get the sixty votes required to avoid the 111 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,639 legislative filibuster. 112 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,199 Speaker 2: Basically they're not actually. 113 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:54,199 Speaker 1: Having which see now, if if I'm in the Senate, 114 00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:58,639 I force if I'm like, if I'm the Republican Senate leadership, 115 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:03,360 I would force to Democrats to actually filibuster. I would 116 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360 force them to have to stand up there for as 117 00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:12,240 long as possible to filibuster rather than just say, you know, 118 00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,240 we're not going to vote for Klotchure whatever sixty votes, 119 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,800 know whatever, Like, if you're going to do a filibuster, 120 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,480 you should actually do the filibuster. I've said this for years. 121 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,839 The fifty one to forty five vote fell short of 122 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,040 the sixty votes required to advance the bill. They call 123 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:36,039 it cloture. So Democrats were not even willing to advance 124 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,279 the bill for the vote, okay, because they didn't want 125 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,799 to be on record as voting against the bill. Although 126 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000 refusing to advance the bill is actually voting against the bill. 127 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,200 Republicans have fifty three seats in the Senate. They needed 128 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200 to get seven Democrats to join them. 129 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,919 Speaker 2: They were not able to do that. 130 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,799 Speaker 1: Obviously, the bill was called the Protection of Women and 131 00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,720 Girls in Sports Act. It would prevent schools from receiving 132 00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:08,600 federal funding if they allow transgender girls and women to 133 00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:12,600 participate in female athletic programs. It adds that a person's 134 00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:17,679 sex quote shall be recognized based solely on a person's 135 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:22,759 reproductive biology and genetics at birth, which by the way, 136 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:27,799 can be determined with a cheek swap. And that's going 137 00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,120 to be important to keep in mind as I go 138 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,480 through the ridiculous argument that is made by the left 139 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,120 on this. And if you know you were in North 140 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,840 Carolina during our bathroom bill a year when HB two 141 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,120 was passed about bathroom access, you will remember this argument 142 00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:52,679 from the left, which is about potty police. They want 143 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,600 to inspect everybody's junk. No, that's I don't know why 144 00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,639 that's where your mind goes on this thing, like immediately 145 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,320 want to to look in people's pants. I don't understand 146 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,039 why you think that's the only way to determine this, 147 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600 because in fact, it's not, as you guys say, right, 148 00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:13,879 you say that looking in the pants does not determine 149 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,399 what their gender is. Yet you think for some reason 150 00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:21,240 that Republicans want to look in everybody's pants, and that's 151 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960 not the case. It's a simple cheek swab that will 152 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,519 do the trick here, because again it's determined by genetics. 153 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,440 Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 154 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,960 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 155 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,240 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 156 00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:40,639 Asheville is your connection.

He says allowing men to compete in 177 00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:54,639 women's sports is indefensible. A few years ago, the Olympics 178 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,120 added a sport mixed relay race. In swimming, you have 179 00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:01,039 a team with two men and to women, and they 180 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,440 do relays right. The teams could go in whatever order 181 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,559 they wanted to, so they were There were instances where 182 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:12,440 men and women would be swimming at the same time, competing, 183 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,559 and that is when you can really tell the difference 184 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,559 in the athleticism of men versus women. Men would be 185 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,320 starting like a third of a lap behind and then 186 00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:26,720 would catch up to the female swimmers before that leg 187 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,039 of the relay was over. And then he has a 188 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000 quote which is attributed to Lincoln. You know, if you 189 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840 call the tail of a dog a leg, how many 190 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:39,240 legs does a dog have? 191 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: And the answer is four. 192 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,799 Speaker 1: Just because you call the tail a leg doesn't make 193 00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:52,240 it so. So the House passed a measure in January 194 00:12:53,679 --> 00:13:00,639 to block men from competing in women's sports. Month, Donald 195 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,440 Trump signed in an executive order to ban girls and 196 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,759 women from competing. Sorry, see, when you take out the 197 00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,120 word transgender girls, then it doesn't make any sense. Why 198 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,639 would you ban girls and women from competing on female 199 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,519 sports teams? Now you're banning men from competing on female 200 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,639 sports teams. Schools not in compliance jeopardize any federal funding 201 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,120 that they receive. The order also affects US visa policies 202 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,279 for athletes who travel to the country to compete in 203 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:32,159 the Olympics or other sporting events. CBS News reporting here, 204 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,519 Those in favor of the bands contend that transgender athletes 205 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,799 have biological advantages that are unfair and unsafe for other 206 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:44,480 girls and women. For other girls and women say like, 207 00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,000 CBS is trying to tell you that two plus two 208 00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:51,159 is five. Those in see the people who favor the bands, 209 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,320 in other words, like seventy to eighty percent of the 210 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,559 American public. 211 00:13:56,799 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: Right. It's just our opinion here. 212 00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:03,879 Speaker 1: It's just a belief that somehow men have you know, 213 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,879 greater lung capacity, bigger muscle mass, greater bone density. I mean, 214 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,120 just these are just thoughts that we have. Opponents of 215 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,279 such policies have argued that a band opens the door 216 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,399 here it is to intrusive genital examinations of girls, particularly 217 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,279 those who do not fit stereotypical feminine appearances. This is 218 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,399 a BS argument. As I said, this can be determined 219 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,440 with a cheek swab, also with a birth certificate, which 220 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,360 is why, by the way, you should not be able 221 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,039 to change your birth certificate based on how you feel 222 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,559 this idea. Was watching Piers Morgan's Uncensored the other day 223 00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:50,320 and he had that left wing moon bad Jojo from 224 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,799 Jersey and he asked her, so, like, if I just 225 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,720 say I'm a woman, am I a woman? And she 226 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,279 said eventually, after he like kept dragging her back to 227 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,320 the question, she refused to answer it, and she said, yeah. 228 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:04,679 Speaker 2: That's it. Then you're a woman. 229 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,879 Speaker 1: You just say you feel like a woman, and that's it. 230 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,360 You're a woman, And that's insanity. 231 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:13,519 Speaker 2: Polling. 232 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,039 Speaker 1: And by the way, this does not mean that you 233 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:20,080 should bully people and attack people and whatever an ostracize 234 00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:24,759 or discriminate. That's not That's not what I advocate, nor 235 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,360 should anybody. But it is to say that there is 236 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:33,200 truth here, and you will not get me to pretend 237 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:37,960 that there isn't. Polling in recent years has found a 238 00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:41,960 lack of support for transgender athletes participating on sports. That's 239 00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,240 interesting way to frame it, right, CBS or as I 240 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,519 like to call it, CBS news polling has found a 241 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:54,960 lack of support for transgender athletes participating on sports teams 242 00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,000 that match their gender identity. 243 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,159 Speaker 2: Right. 244 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,639 Speaker 1: In other words, the majority of Americans oppose men playing 245 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,519 on women's teams. So that was the first problem that 246 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:10,320 Democrats ran into. The second problem they ran into on 247 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,919 this was at the don't call it State of the 248 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,120 Union address, Trump's address to the joint Session where Lake 249 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,000 and right or sorry, Riley Gaines, the former University Kentucky swimmer, 250 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:28,759 she's become a champion on this issue and because she 251 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,080 remember was was beaten by what was his name, Michael 252 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,200 Thomas or something or no, yeah, whatever, but then changed 253 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,759 his name to Leah Thomas and then like obliterated the field, 254 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,440 won a bunch of stuff, a bunch of these competitions, 255 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,279 and she pointed out that Democrats kneeled for eight minutes 256 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,639 and forty six seconds. Remember that after the George Floyd 257 00:16:56,279 --> 00:17:03,639 death up in Minnesota, and they would not stand for 258 00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:10,640 Lake and Riley. They wore pink to protest Donald Trump 259 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:15,119 and his quote anti women policies, which is just abortion right. 260 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480 But they also were the same women that voted or 261 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,279 you know, women that were wearing pink at the speech, 262 00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:25,559 but they also voted unanimously to keep boys and girls sports. 263 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,799 This is what I This is what I mean. They 264 00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:32,640 don't have a coherent message on this stuff. It makes 265 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,400 it very difficult. Even just when you think, you know, 266 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,039 like oh, John Fetterman, he said something that makes me 267 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,119 wonder if that uh, if he's like the sanest Democrat 268 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,720 of them all, and then he says something like this. 269 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,279 He went on Twitter and he said, the small handful 270 00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:50,640 of trans athletes in Pennsylvania in a political mailstream deserve 271 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,319 an ally and I am one depersonalized as they them 272 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,799 in a political ad, but are just school children empty 273 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,440 show votes or cruel on social media? Aren't part of 274 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:09,000 a thoughtful, dignified solution. He voted against this bill as 275 00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,640 well in the US Senate. So lest you think that 276 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,039 Fetterman you know that you can work with him on 277 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,799 this issue, apparently not. He's an ally for them. And 278 00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:24,839 that's why what happened on Gavin Newsom's very first podcast, 279 00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:29,480 Governor of California. Everybody expects him to run for president. 280 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:33,119 That's why what happened on his first episode where he 281 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,960 had Charlie Kirk on conservative activist Guy, podcaster Guy Charlie Kirk. 282 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,480 That's what makes Gavin Newsom's comments so incredibly chaotic for 283 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:51,160 the Democrat Party now. Because Newsom said that he thinks 284 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:57,319 it's an issue of fairness and he's not in favor 285 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,200 of men playing on women's teams. 286 00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: Outrage is ensuing. 287 00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: Who's Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT seven four 288 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,759 five seven eleven ten. Email ISPT at the Pete Calendarshoe 289 00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:16,039 dot com on Twitter at Pete Calendar. Let's head over 290 00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,279 to the phones. We'll talk with Mark. Hello, Mark, Welcome 291 00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:19,880 to the shoe. 292 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: Hey, v this is Mark. I gave you that eighty 293 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,359 nine percent of rating that time and said you are 294 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,680 to be proud of that. 295 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:31,599 Speaker 1: Remember that vaguely I get I get a lot of 296 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,319 a lot of compliments and even more insults. 297 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: So listen, here's the deal. So, like, I grew up 298 00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:44,039 as a Democrat all my life, and then I saw 299 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,240 in fact, you remember when Joe Biden back in the 300 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,720 eighties was in a big demratic field for the president. 301 00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he had to drop out because of the plagiarism. 302 00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:59,039 Speaker 3: Oh I remember that. I just remember as a stupid 303 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:02,119 you know, young per I said, hey, that guy, he 304 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,480 looks kind of the part. He a little pugilistic. So 305 00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:12,279 I voted for him this presidency of his. He couldn't 306 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:17,720 have done anything more wrong than he did. I mean 307 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,440 everything he did seemed to be just wrong, wrong thing. 308 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,279 So my question where are the Democrats like me who 309 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,039 have nothing in common with these people? 310 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,759 Speaker 2: They voted for Trump, Diana, they all voted for Trump. 311 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: That's the problem the Democrat party has now is they 312 00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,759 have lost the demographic that you are in. 313 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 3: Well, that's for sure. 314 00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't know how to get you back. 315 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,519 And because they have built their party around the demands 316 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,359 of the most far left wing in their activist base. 317 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:00,799 Speaker 2: It's a problem. It's a real problem. 318 00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:04,839 Speaker 3: For it it is amazing. I look at my wife, 319 00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:08,359 and I say, I think purposely trying to destroy this country. 320 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,079 Who do that? 321 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,279 Speaker 2: Leftists? 322 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,079 Speaker 1: Not even the communists, no Communis, communists would leftists, that 323 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:15,799 is precisely what they want. 324 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they believe. That's why. 325 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you have you have a belief, 326 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,559 you know, among the left that And I keep in 327 00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:28,319 mind I differentiate between leftists and liberals. 328 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: They're different leftists. 329 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,519 Speaker 1: And the problem is that liberals inside the Democrat Party, 330 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,720 liberals do not stand up to the leftists very often, 331 00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:39,960 and so they end up getting dragged around by those leftists. 332 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,839 And the liberals are okay with that as long as 333 00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:47,079 it means electoral victories. And so now we're we're seeing 334 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,640 what happens when they can't even deliver any more on 335 00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:54,720 the electoral victories. And so, you know, will liberals now 336 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,440 start pushing back on the leftists inside their party. But 337 00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:03,079 leftists do, in fact want to dare I say, fundamentally 338 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,480 transform America? 339 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: And you don't do that to a country that you love. 340 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 3: No, No, So, you know, and she's reminded me of 341 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,240 when I metic said, Bernie, what's the guy's named Bernie? 342 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:17,079 Speaker 2: Frank Barney Frank. 343 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Barney Frank. I remember when he was running for 344 00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:23,279 president as a Democrat and he was doing pretty good, 345 00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:25,640 and I told my wife then I said, who is 346 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,839 this choke? Why does he get to run as a Democrat? 347 00:22:28,839 --> 00:22:33,000 Why shouldn't he run? Is what he's elected as? Which socialist? 348 00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:37,039 Speaker 1: Oh Bernie Sanders, Yeah, Bernie Sanders, Yeah, he's the Yeah, 349 00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:38,680 he's the Vermont senator. 350 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:40,799 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and yeah. 351 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:44,519 Speaker 1: Well he was there as a sort of pressure release 352 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,640 valve for those leftists in the Democrat Party in the 353 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,119 primary system, and then the party locked him out right, 354 00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:55,680 and then of course he endorsed Hillary Clinton and said 355 00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:58,319 enough about her emails. Right, He didn't seem to mind 356 00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:00,599 so much. He threw all of his way back behind 357 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,200 the Democrat Party. So that's why I say it was 358 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,960 kind of a pressure release valve for the for the socialists. 359 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,440 But they got to keep them as part of the 360 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,880 party because they're part of the coalition. 361 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, yeah, man, I appreciate the call, sir, take 362 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:12,480 it all right, you too. 363 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:24,079 Speaker 1: So from the vote on Monday against protecting female athletics, 364 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,960 get this, this is axios. Now, Senate Democrats want to 365 00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:32,359 leave the issue of trans athletes playing in women's sports 366 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,920 to state and local governments. So we finally found something 367 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,680 that Democrats are like, no, no, no, let the states decide, 368 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,400 and we don't want federal regulation on this. 369 00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:46,079 Speaker 2: We don't need it. 370 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Okay, here's the problem with this. Number one, 371 00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:53,440 there are federal laws that apply here. Right, you got 372 00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:57,440 funding that's attached to like the schools, and Democrats, you 373 00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:01,480 guys are really to blame for this because you hook 374 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:05,359 up all of these schools and nonprofits and all sorts 375 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,960 of agencies, state, local governments and stuff to the federal spigot. 376 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:14,319 And once you do that, they become dependent on the revenue. 377 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:20,000 And then whoever controls the federal spigot, right, they get 378 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,359 to dictate the rules you have to live by in 379 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,119 order to keep getting the money. So that's the structure. 380 00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:29,599 And then when somebody like Trump says, hey, dismantle the 381 00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,559 Department of Education, you're like, we can't do that. We 382 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,599 have to keep a national agency for education. But on 383 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,799 this issue, they're like, oh no, no, kick it back down, 384 00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:42,839 because why so they can make their own rules. See, 385 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,279 they want federalism when a Republican is writing the rules. 386 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,480 They don't want it when they write the rules. They 387 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:55,319 want to write rules for everybody in the country. But 388 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,279 then if somebody they disagree with takes control and wants 389 00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,680 to write different rules, then it's like, oh, no, no, 390 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,960 we should have federalism again. That's the first problem. They're 391 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,279 already are federal rules that are attached here, so you 392 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,880 can't just say, oh, kick it down to the locals. 393 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,359 Here's the other problem. We don't believe you. We don't 394 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,039 believe you, because as soon as you get back in power, 395 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,119 you're going to turn around and re implement the very 396 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,039 things that you say you want to implement. We don't 397 00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:27,400 believe you, just like we don't believe you right now 398 00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:30,319 when you say or you try to avoid talking about 399 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,079 packing the US Supreme Court, we know you want to 400 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,640 do that. As soon as you get back into power, 401 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,359 you want to pack the court, add more seats, stuff 402 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,200 in your people, and this way you get complete control. 403 00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:48,079 Democrats privately admit that they need a sharper response to 404 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,920 counter Republican attacks on their support for transgender rights, especially 405 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,160 when it involves sports. See, they know they have a 406 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,440 problem on this issue. They just don't know how to 407 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:03,400 combat it because there isn't a good way that's the 408 00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:08,039 spoiler alert here. There isn't a good argument here. That's 409 00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:12,640 why you can't make a good argument. The Democratic messaging 410 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,319 effort has now been spearheaded by Senator Tammy Baldwin, Democrat 411 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,599 out of Wisconsin. She is the first openly gay person 412 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,240 elected to the Senate. She faced a barrage of attacks 413 00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:25,920 on this topic in her twenty twenty four re election campaign. 414 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,400 She feared Republicans were flooding the zone with their attacks 415 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:32,839 without Democrats having a clear and consistent rebuttal, well, that 416 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,079 is true, they don't have. 417 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 2: They do not have that. 418 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:39,079 Speaker 1: Republicans in Washington are saying they know better than parents 419 00:26:39,079 --> 00:26:42,160 in local school districts. She says in a statement, they 420 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,799 are wrong. I trust parents, schools, and local sports leagues 421 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,559 to make these decisions for their children, unless, of course, 422 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,240 we want to trans your kid without your knowledge, in 423 00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:57,000 which case then but the hell out right. This is 424 00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:00,960 why you cannot make these arguments any longer costs. You've 425 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,359 made the alternative argument for too long. We don't believe you. 426 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,680 Now you want to leave it up to parents, the 427 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,680 same parents that you want to cut out, the same 428 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,960 parents you want to keep in the dark when their 429 00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:17,359 kids are socially transitioning in school, the same parents that 430 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,640 you want to keep in the dark if their kid 431 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,559 leaves their state, heads to California and wants to undergo 432 00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:27,119 hormone replacement therapy, and you don't want to tell the 433 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,039 parents about that. 434 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 2: I don't believe you. 435 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: Nobody should, all right, If you're listening to this show, 436 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,240 you know I try to keep up with all sorts 437 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,279 of current events, and I know you do too.

Email is Pete at the petecleanershow dot com. 461 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,319 So Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, expected presidential candidate, 462 00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:58,640 launched a podcast and to his credit, he brought Charlie 463 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,680 Kirk on. So he's having guests that don't just agree 464 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:11,200 with him, and in this first episode, Charlie Kirk presses 465 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:17,559 him and he finally Knewsome finally breaks with progressives by 466 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:22,359 saying transgender participation in sports was quote an issue of fairness. 467 00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:29,240 He called it deeply unfair. Some Senate Democrats agreed with 468 00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:34,440 Newsom on the sports fair issue, but they said to 469 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:40,680 be careful that the overall conversation doesn't demonize transgender athletes. 470 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:47,279 They also want to avoid federal overreach. Yeah okay, yeah, 471 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:53,400 sure they do. Senator Gary Peters from Michigan Democrats said, 472 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,880 we let local schools make those kinds of decisions. There's 473 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,000 no one set of facts. No, and this there is 474 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:05,559 buddy on this issue. There really is one set of facts. 475 00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:09,319 That's what I mean. You can't defend this stuff. It's 476 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,279 it is logically incoherent. And this is why people were 477 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:17,799 going along at first, because they didn't want to. As 478 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,279 was just mentioned, you know, don't demonize, right, This is 479 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:26,799 called suicidal empathy. Like I'm empathetic. I don't want to offend. 480 00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:28,519 I'm gonna try to be nice. I don't want to 481 00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:31,039 be called names. Trying to go along and all this, 482 00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:36,759 and you keep on pushing with federal overreach. You guys 483 00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:39,759 did this. You don't get to cry now about, oh, 484 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:47,680 federal overreach. You pushed this. US House of Representatives Minority 485 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:54,000 leader Hakim Jeffries repeated the unsubstantiated argument that the Defending 486 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,519 Women and Girls in Sports Act would have unleashed sexual 487 00:30:57,599 --> 00:30:59,119 predators on girls. 488 00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:03,359 Speaker 2: Have you heard this argument? What is this argument? What 489 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:03,640 is it? 490 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:04,079 Speaker 1: This? 491 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: Right? 492 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,079 Speaker 1: Anybody who's paying attention to this issue is probably thinking, 493 00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:09,319 what the hell are they talking about? 494 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 2: I'll explain. 495 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: Jeffries first made this argument the day the House voted 496 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,680 on the bill back in January, joining other prominent Democrat representatives, 497 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:25,279 including Alexandria A. Cazu Cortez. The argument prompted harsh backlash 498 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,160 among some registered Democratic voters and was not repeated leading 499 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,160 up to the Senate vote. Okay, so in the House 500 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,640 they were making this argument that it's going to unleash 501 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:41,119 sexual predators on girls. Senators did not make this argument, 502 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,759 but Jeffries raises the argument again. When he was asked 503 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:50,839 about Newsom's comments, he said, quote, I haven't seen the comments. 504 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,920 What Democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators on girls throughout 505 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,480 the United States of America. When Jeffries and other House 506 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,200 Democrats pushed the argument in January, it was not rooted 507 00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:07,440 in any language within the bill. Republicans insisted here it 508 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:12,759 is no genital inspection would ever be necessary, and that 509 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,880 proof of birth gender could simply be determined by a 510 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,200 birth certificate. That's been their argument. The Democrats thought this 511 00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:22,400 was the way to argue against men playing in women's sports, 512 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,000 robbing them of opportunities and scholarships and such and world records. 513 00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 2: Right. 514 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: They thought this was the best argument they had was 515 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:36,839 that it's going to require these types of private part inspections, 516 00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:42,440 and that's going to unleash sexual predators. When again, birth 517 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,359 certificate would suffice and a cheek swab would prove what 518 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,200 your gender is, what your sex is. They are the same. 519 00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:54,559 It's not your personality like, oh, she's a tomboy. That 520 00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:56,319 doesn't mean she thinks she's a boy, doesn't mean she 521 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,759 is a boy. That's just her personality. And she's perfect 522 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:03,599 the way she is. You don't have to change her 523 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,279 physical body and her hormone levels. This was one of 524 00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:12,720 the most I thought powerful things that Trump said during 525 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,160 that speech was that every child, you are perfect the 526 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,480 way you are. You are as God made you. That 527 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,119 is the message that every kid needs to hear. You 528 00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:30,240 are perfect the way you are right, well, not perfect, 529 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:35,359 like you can obviously always you know, improve yourself, better yourself, whatever, 530 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,039 Like you can always improve. Yes, that's that's true. But 531 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:45,359 there's nothing wrong with you, right, It's okay. You are loved. 532 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,279 The argument that the bill so that's when they say 533 00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:52,839 that that's what this sexual predator argument is. 534 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 2: It's a lie. 535 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: The argument that the bill would empower sexual predators to 536 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:05,680 give genital examination to young girls would be not trusting 537 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,000 local governments. So you have the Senators that are saying 538 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,840 we should leave this to the locals to decide, and 539 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,639 you got the House saying, well, the locals are just 540 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:18,840 going to hire sex predators. See what I mean. You 541 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,440 guys are in disarray. You don't even know what you're arguing. 542 00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,960 And again I have sympathy for them on this because 543 00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:29,320 I wouldn't be able to figure out a logical argument 544 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,000 for it either.
