Speaker 1: What's going on. Thank you so much for listening to

your support. So let's take a win, people, Let's take
a win. The win came out of the House, the
US House, yesterday where two Democrats voted in support of
Republican legislation that would bar transgender girls from participating in
girls and women's sports. This is how Newsweek is reporting it.
By the way, transgender girls boys, it prevents boys from
participating in girls' sports. It prevents men from competing against
women in women's sports. Two Democrats agreed. I'm not saying
the fever has broken, but progress. Let's acknowledge the progress. Also,
there was one Democrat abstention. They don't call them abstentions,
they call them they just vote present. And that would
be North Carolina's own Don Davis. Democrat Don Davis did
not know which way he thought about this, so he
just said I'm here and that counts yes. So it passed,
and it now heads over to the US Senate, which
is controlled by the Republicans but not a filibuster proof majority.
And so let's have that debate, greatest deliberative body on
the face of the planet, and all, like, let's hear it.
Go ahead, Democrats, Let's get you on the record. Let's
hear it. Why should men be allowed to punch women
in the face? Tell me for the trophy, for the metal?
For money? Like what is once we've determined you know
what you are. Now we're just tackling on price. Basically,
that's where we are. So I would like to know
what your position is on this, and that's what this is. Secondarily,
I would submit is about because the what it's primarily
about is what the bill is about. I never thought
we would have to get to this point where we
needed a law, but here we are. Thank you, leftists.
Newsweek reports that Americans hold complex views on gender and
sexual orientation issues. While many polls show acceptance for lgbt
Q plus rights, have we dropped all of the other
letters did we drop that? Apparently, so Newsweek, as I've noticed,
there's been a there's been an absence of all of
the other letters, like the two I A or two
S two spirit. I all like what they're there, because
for like I don't know, about a year, the acronym
kept growing, right, they kept adding letters. It was almost
a monthly event where there'd be another letter thrown in,
kind of like they did with the flag. And they
added more stripes, which I always thought the rainbow flag
did cover all of the colors, because that's what the
rainbow is. It's all colors, right, But what do I know,
just a radio host. So they've apparently dropped a bunch
of the other letters. So they're just apparently they're sticking
with the five letters and the symbol LGBTQ plus. So
Newsweek says many polls show acceptance for LGBTQ plus rights
has generally increased over the past twenty years. Most Americans
are less supportive of transgender girls and transgender women participating
in women's sports. You know, why would that be? I
love this, uh, I love this, this vibe, this tone
that the reporter Andrew Stanton at Newsweek is conveying with
this like, Ah, it's just so nuanced. I just can't understand.
Why would people, you know, have more acceptance of rights
but have an erosion of support for men competing against
women and women's sports. Gosh, it's you say you're for
LGBTQ plus rights. Why why don't you want the dudes
whipping up on the ladies. I don't take and scholarships
and such from them spiking volleyballs into their cranium causing
permanent brain damage. What's wrong with you? I thought you
were accepting of LGBTQ plus rights. A Gallop poll cited
in the article from May of twenty twenty three found
that sixty nine percent of Americans believe transgender people should
play on teams that match their sex assigned at birth. Okay,
that right there, that's the dare I call it a
dog whistle? That right there is the indication of the
reporter's views on this. When you use this term sex
assigned at birth, okay, that is a fabricated construct. This
is a fad, That's what this is. This phrase is
a fed You are not assigned any kind of sex
at birth. You are not. You are born with it.
It is inherent in you. Okay, nobody is there assigning
you as sex. The sex is assigned by the DNA,
by the genetics. This is I saw somebody was somebody
was talking about this the other day and they were
basically how modern day leftism has essentially been reduced to.
What did they they? They they made an analogy with
like the creation of fads, not for the sake of
creating a fad, but for the purpose of telling everybody
who doesn't quickly adopt the fad that they are on
the outs. That's the purpose of all of this stuff.
It's to create I go there, all of a sudden, No,
you're assigned the sex at birth. Don't you agree? And
if you don't immediately agree to this brand new thing
that has never been believed before, or if you don't
jump on board immediately, then you are one of the others, right,
you get cast out of the inner circle of the
in group. And when that happens to people who care
very much about that sort of thing, their incentives are
aligned to just agree to just fall into line the
name of the law. The Protection of Women and Girls
in Sports Act would ban schools receiving federal funding from
allowing transgender girls and women playing on women's sports teams,
essentially keeping them from participating in sports at most institutions,
and it does not actually prevent them from participating in sports.
They can still participate in sports. They have to participate
in the sport that aligns with their sex, because that's
the way the sports world has been segregated. Why. I
don't know. I don't really know why we separate the
men and the women in the different sports and categories.
It's a mystery. I don't even know. It's probably racism,
sexism of some kind, same reasons. I'm sure the Klan
I think they were the ones that first started segregating
by sex. Probably, I don't have any data to back
that up, but I gotta believe that's the Okay. Democratic
representatives Henry Quaar and Vincente or Vicente Gonzales, both out
of Texas, voted for the legislation. I believe both of them. Yeah,
they're out of Texas, and I believe both of them
are in districts that Trump won, and so they have
an incentive if they would like to return to Congress. Right,
most Americans do not believe that men should be competing
against women in the women's sports, And the reason for
that is so obvious and so rooted in I don't
know a couple of like tens of thousands of years
of understanding that men and women are different physically biologically,
men and women are different, and men have different physical advantages.
Women have other physical advantages and disadvantages. Pros and cons
here right again, I am reminded of the famous Thomas
Sole quote. There are no solutions. There are only trade offs, right,
not the ones a solution ones not But like these,
they're just trade offs. Neither one is better or worse
than the other. They just have different advantages over one
of the other, depending on what it is you are examining.
This was understood by human beings up until about six
seconds ago. Here's a great idea. How about making an
escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western
North Carolina? Just a quick drive up the mountain and
Cabins of Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary,

text eight two eight, three, six seven seventy sixty eight
or check out all there is to offer at cabins
Offashville dot com and make memory that'll last a lifetime.
As just a side note, that's one of the things
that always drove me nuts and still does about a
lot of like the the radio programming at sort of
the National corporate level where they determine, well, you know,
these songs are quote old, and so therefore we won't
put them on stations, and they flip formats and that
sort of thing. And I understand that, you know, music
of your youth will be with you for your entire life,
and so when people grow old and now you're not,
and then they die off and so there isn't a
huge audience. But for me, if the music is good,
then it doesn't matter the age, right, people get Like
when I was in I want to say, it was
like I think I was in seventh grade, seventh or
eighth grade. I started listening to oldies music. I made
all sorts of mixed tapes and stuff with it because
there was an oldies station. And I don't know, like
it was good music. I enjoyed the music, and that's
what I thought it was about anyway. All right, So
we have this bill that has passed now in the House.
It's called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
They had an hour long debate in the House. Several
Democrat lawmakers raised concerns about what they view as a
lack of enforcement mechanism. Does it sound familiar all of
you HB two veterans, right, How were you going to
enforce it? There's no enforcement mechanism. Are you going to
be doing inspections of people's parts?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: This was the same silly argument that the left used
in North Carolina when HB two passed. Pat McCrory wants
to look at people's junk like no, and Pat McCrory
is the partty police. Republicans did the partty police. Hey,
news flash, moron, we're all potty police. Did you know that?
That's part of being in a society. When you see
people that are in a space where they are not
supposed to be right, you should say something about that.
And that's part of a high trust society. And that
also prevents the evildoers. That prevents people from going into
spaces that they're not supposed to be in because they're
going to get caught. Right, They're going to look around.
I don't see any cops, but if they see people
that are going in and out of the bathrooms, maybe
see a couple of dudes waiting on their wives outside
of the restroom at the airport, they may not go
in because that dude outside the restroom is a deputized
body BELIEFE see how that works. Again. These are things
that usually come very easily to most human beings that
have walked the face of the planet up until about
six seconds ago when the Left told us we are
stupid and we just don't understand the way things have
actually always been. But they're the first ones. They're sort
of the gnostics, you know, They're the ones with the
knowledge that they are now going to proclaim to us.
It is very much like a religion, if not a religion,
it's it's we're the ones with the knowledge, and then
we shall bestow upon you this knowledge, and you shall
not question the knowledge, because we are the ones that
know the knowledge. We are the knowers. So they I
have actually an audio clip, but I don't have time
to play now. I do have an audio clip. Alexandria
Cazo Coutez aoc. She spoke against the bill, and she
laid out some of the arguments against this idea, against
the legislation. They argued that the bill is actually also
going to worsen mental health, like I'm not sure it
gets worse. People already believe that they are something they
are not, so that's already part of a pretty severe
mental health issue. So oh and by the way, the
vast majority of people who are trans have underlying mental
health issues. That's the science, the science and data. Now, granted,
that's an old brand of gnosticism that came about in
twenty twenty twenty twenty one with the COVID, but I
think it still applies. All right, I hope you had
a happy holiday season. But tell me if something like
this happened at your house. Your family and friends are
gathered around, maybe y'all are in the living room, you're laughing,
swapping stories, reminiscing, and then somebody says, hey, Dad, remember
those old VHS tapes? Did you ever get them transferred?
And then the room gets all quiet. All eyes are
on Dad, who says, oh, you know, well, I've been
meaning to but I just having gotten around to it. Look,
don't let those priceless memories sit in a box for
another year, all right. Create a Video has been helping
families in the Charlotte area preserve their history since nineteen
ninety seven. Simply bring in your old camquarder tapes and
Creative Video will transfer them to a USB flash drive
for just fourteen ninety five, per tape. You have a
big collection, They've got a discount for you. And next year,
instead of talking about those memories, imagine gathering the family
to watch them together. Talk about a memorable gift. So
do what I did. Trust the experts at Creative Video,
conveniently located in mint Hill right off I four eighty
five and online at create avideo dot com. All right,
I said I had some audio, and I did not lie.
I do have some audio. This is AOC during the
debate in the US House this week before passage mainly
along partisan lines, but two Democrats did vote for it,
and North Carolina Congressman Don Davis, a Democrat, voted present.
Very courageous stand he took there, and so the measure passed.
It now heads to the US Senate. But they did
have a debate. Here is the argument against the legislation
from Alexandria Casio Cortez is recognized.
Speaker 2: I'm honored to yeld two minutes to the gentlewoman from
New York representative of Casio Cortes. Thank you so much, madam,
Madam ranking member. Here we are today Republicans who have
voted against, consistently against the Violence Against Women Act, who
have taken away the right of all women to choose
and have control over their own body. Who, as women
are bleeding out in parking lots across the country, standing
there allowing us to die. Now, wants to pretend today
that they care about women, and why to open up
gender and yes, genital examinations into little girls in this
country in the so called name of attacking trans girls.
And to that today, what we have to say are
two words, not today.
Speaker 1: Actually yes today.
Speaker 2: The majority right now says there's no place in this
bill that says it opens up for genital genital examinations. Well,
here's the thing, Okay, there's no enforcement mechanism in this bill,
and when there is no enforcement mechanism, you open the
door to every enforcement mechanism.
Speaker 1: Actually, it says the UH birth certificate controls. So that's
the it's based on the birth certificate. But she's on
a roll. Here are people, she's on a roll.
Speaker 2: Trans girls are girls.
Speaker 1: Actually they are not. That's why you put that word
in front of the girls. Did you notice that if
they were girls, you would just say girls. You're calling
them trans girls, which means they're not girls. Right again,
I'm sorry to be the bearer of the well truth.
But like this is this is a this is a
mass delusion, and this desire to be in the end
group and somewhere inside the Democrat Party, this idea took hold.
People didn't want to be in the out group, so
they just all jumped on. And so now I think
on this particular topic, I do believe that the fever
has broken. I think more and more people are seeing
this for what it is, and that played a part
in the election of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Again, and for all the folks that are so concerned,
thank you for your concern about women for the first
time that I've seen. I don't know about y'all. I
don't know who's been to gym class lately, but girls,
even if you only believe in two genders, I've played
co ed sports all the time. But what this also
opens the door for.
Speaker 1: Wait what, well, that's co ed. See once again, there's
a word for what you're describing. It's called co ed.
It means that co That means there's two, right, two
the different sexes are playing together, and so that's a
different dynamic. Like the reason why you set up a
co ed sports league or match or something is so
this way you balance the teams so you don't end
up with a team that's all women getting annihilated by
a team that's all dudes. Right, you got to mix
up the players and try to balance out the players.
And why do you do that, because there is an
understanding that there is an inherent physiological difference between men
and women. Again breaking news, Men and women are different.
They are different in many ways. And that's not to
say one's better or worse than the other. Takes two
to tango, literally, although I guess you could do a
tango with two men and two do, but it does
take two. But anyway, well, okay if I'm using tango
as a euphemism for something else, although nowadays I get
never mind. Okay, So here the point is, men and
women are different. They are different, and when you talk
about your co ed gym class, right, you're not making
the point you obviously think you're making. You're making an
argument for the other side. And if she like, if
you were to strip out just the personal insults and
the false assumptions you don't care about women, they you
have reduced the abortion debate down to whether or not
somebody cares about women. And that's bad faith, right, that's
ascribing a motive to somebody based on the policy approach
difference I went over the other day. We have the
same goal theoretically, right, If we have the same goal,
then you want to go path A. I want to
go Path B. And you're like, no, Path B is bad.
That doesn't mean I disagree with your goal. It just
means I have a different path. And you shouldn't assume
that I want to take path B because I am
somehow evil, right that I don't care or whatever. It's
just I'm preferring this other pathway to get there. But
this is one of the verbal tricks that the Democrats do.
They're never called out on it by the media because
the media generally agrees with the Democrats, and so they
become intellectually flabby, which is why you get up onto
the floor of the US House and say a bunch
of stupid crap like she is saying.
Speaker 2: Is for women to try to perform a very specific
kind of femininity for the very kind of men who
are drafting this bill, and to open up questioning of
who is a woman because of how we look, how
we present ourselves, and yes, what we choose to do
with our bodies.
Speaker 1: No, no, okay, So hang on the idea of this
like holding up a woman as the like this feminine
object and what there's what women are supposed to look
like and all that that's actually prevalent among trans Did
you have you noticed this, like they dress up like
this idea that you are talking about in order to
quote unquote pass as a female. Do they deserve any
recrimination for that? Again, if you strip out all of
the assumption of motive from her argument here, she doesn't
have an argument. She's just assuming that people are going
to go start inspecting genitals even though it's based on
the birth certificate. So much dumbassy packed in two minutes.
Thank you once again, AOC easy show. Prep for Pete.
All right, if you're listening to this shoe, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well,
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app
and it's a website, and it combines news from around
the world in one place. So you can compare coverage
and verify information. You can check it out at check
dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link
in the podcast description too. I started using ground News
a few months ago and more recently chose to work
with them as an affiliate because it lets me see
clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind
spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the
left and the right. See for yourself check dot ground,
dot news slash pete. Subscribe through that link and you'll
get fifteen percent off any subscription. I use the Vantage
plan to get unlimited access to every feature. Your subscription
then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports
ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent.
Email is Pete at thepetecallanershow dot com. I do have
a message here. It's a Pete mail from Jan AOC
blattering on about Republicans hating women and co ed sports
making it okay for men to compete against women. First,
I feel dumber having listened to her. Second, unless her
co ed sport allowed the men in her high school
to shower with her in the locker room. Her argument
is half assed at best.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I reminded of something my grandfather said to me after
I had painted a skateboard up and I said, oh,
this doesn't look half bad, and he said, yeah, it
looks whole bad.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it is full. It is
the full posterior of stupidity. There. I did also hang
on a second. I got a message also regarding Wilfred Riley.
I did see him as well. He's a frequent guest
on the Vince Cokeley Show. He's a professor. He does
a lot of crime data stats and stuff, and I
saw him recently. He was on a podcast that one
of the one of my listeners, Monica told me about
called trigger Nometry, which is a great podcast, and so
I've been watching that for a while now and they
recently had on I think the most recent episode was
Wilfrid Riley, and they were he was going through a
lot of the data on not just well he was
talking about like cop killings and incarceration and that kind
of stuff, but he then broadened it out to talk
about sort of this leftist way of looking at things
in our society. And so Russ, I think you, I
think this is what you're talking about Russ. Is that
Wilfrid Riley said that most of the lefts social stances
boiled down to being angry that nature exists and it
doesn't line up with how they want it to be.
And I think that's true. I do think that is true,
and I think Russ is correct. I think it was
Wilford Riley. I think it was on that episode of
Triggeronometry where he talked about it, although he maybe, you know,
promoting a book, so maybe he's talked about it in
other venues. But that is it. And again I always
feel it important to point this out. When I talk
about leftists, I try to be very clear. I say leftists,
I don't say liberals. Liberals means something else. Leftist means
something different than simply being liberal. Liberals, I think, do
not want to live in a city, for example, that
gets burned down in wildfires. Liberals, I think, prefer to
have government operating fairly well providing services. The problem is
they have a very weak spine in standing up to
leftists because leftists can be kind of scary. I get it,
and leftists are very loud and screamy and ranty and stuff.
That's why they are of value when you are going
out to protest the evil GOP right, when you need
the shock troops, the ground troops to march on the
capitol and take over a legislative chamber, you need a
lot of the leftists. Right, maybe you need to create
some fiery but mostly peaceful protests where you burn down
entire city blocks every now and again. They provide that
service to the Democrat Party and to liberals, which is
why I think they don't ever stand up for this stuff.
And it's why it requires a strong opposition party because
liberals need the course, corrective nature of conservatives of a
Republican party in order to fight and tamp down that
and give the liberal space to say that's not me.
I'm not like that. Right, And when they get complete control,
as you have seen, the leftists then come to dominate.
The liberals then cower to the leftists, and then you know,
you end up not staging fire trucks, Uh, you know,
in a neighborhood that's about to catch fire, that kind
of stuff. So yes, he also goes on to say
a funny political cartoon on the issue of being assigned
sex at birth. Uh, there's a doctor in a birthing room,
spinning a lotto cage, a lottery cage before telling the
parents if it's a boy or a girl, right, because
that's how I mean, Like why not? Like so what
if you, like, you go into the hospital, you have
your baby, and the doctor's like, I am assigning that
baby too, spirit as a gender or as a sex
or something like like, oh, those evil doctors assigning sex
at birth. It's determinive. It's determined by your DNA and
that exists from conception. I'm sorry, not sorry, all right,
that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much
for listening. I could not do the show without your
support and the support of the businesses that advertise on
the podcast, so if you'd like, please support them too
