WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.960 What a day. Yesterday? Now, no nap even though I 2 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.240 really needed a nap. I don't know, I don't I 3 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.439 just really didn't sleep very well the night before. I 4 00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.720 wonder what it was about Monday night that may have 5 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:17.600 ruined my slumber. But no, no yesterday, and maybe some 6 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.879 of you as well, judging from some tweets I've seen. 7 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.640 I threw on the old confirmation here in, the old 8 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.440 Pete Hegseth confirmation here in I'm like, what will be 9 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.600 happening here? And I had a pretty good You know, 10 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.640 if you've seen one of these, you kind of understand 11 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:41.600 how it works. Right, There's clear coordination, and especially if 12 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.960 you're the opposition to whoever is getting confirmed, right, you 13 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.240 sit there and you're like, all right, Bill, you're gonna 14 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.399 take the uh, And then you know, you you identify 15 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.920 two or three key points of attack whatever it is. 16 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.840 You know, with Kavanaugh obviously it went pretty crazy, but 17 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:05.000 with heg Seth, there are points of attack. Were multiple 18 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.840 marriages drink That NBC News article where anonymous sources, although 19 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.439 Tim Kaine says they're not anonymous, but they are. I 20 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.480 went back and checked, uh, you know, where he was 21 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.959 drunk all the time and you know, it's just all 22 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.560 the really salacious stuff. Really, the only policy point that 23 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.680 they made a core focus was his opinion on women 24 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.480 in combat, and then they just spun it into whatever 25 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.200 they wanted it to be, right, rather than a delineation 26 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.560 of women in combat versus women in roles in the 27 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:45.760 military where they have different standards to get you know, 28 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.959 perfect scores on things, or to qualify for this thing, 29 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:54.280 past this whatever it is, you know, which is I 30 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.840 think really, I don't know that I've seen polling on 31 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.000 this lately, and if if you trust it, but I 32 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.519 would think the majority of Americans, if you put the 33 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.840 question to them, should there be different standards when it 34 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:14.759 comes to tip of the spear special Forces, you know, 35 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:21.159 all of the and in combat roles right where literally 36 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.120 lives are on the line. And it's not to say 37 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.240 that there are combat roles where the physicality isn't an issue, right, 38 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.800 you know, necessary or as big of an issue, right 39 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.319 when you get into like drone operators or pilots or 40 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.360 things like that. What we're clearly talking about is, you know, 41 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.840 me and Ross are kicking doors somewhere, and Ross takes 42 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.719 one in the leg, and I got to drag him 43 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.520 two blocks or whatever to extract him from that area 44 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.039 so I can get him help. Like the expectation that 45 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.000 you're going to be able to do that is well, 46 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.719 it's expected. So that's really where where where it landed. 47 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.360 The problem was the delivery. I don't think it's enough 48 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.759 to repeal the Nineteenth I don't. I don't think they 49 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.840 should be serving in the in Congress on the Democrat side. 50 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.120 Holy hell, how unhinged are you? That's now Look, that's 51 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.360 tongue in cheek kind of. But the exchanges, now, don't 52 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:31.280 get me wrong. There there was insanity for days, right, 53 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.759 there was. There was all sorts of insanity, but every 54 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.199 I found myself hoping that when they went to one 55 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.319 of the female committee members on the Democrat side and 56 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.800 the there's a lot of them right the committee, it's 57 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.919 a big committee. But also there's a lot of women 58 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:56.080 represented there on the Democrat side of the Republican side, 59 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.560 I think it's two right, it's Jony Ernst in one 60 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.360 another and it was. It was like a crazy off. 61 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.159 And it's not that they were necessarily talking about different stuff. 62 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.439 It was the way they were going about it. Let 63 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.759 me let me give you an example, Okay, let me 64 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.520 give you, let me give you, let's go with let's 65 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.120 go with Kirsten Gillibrands. And she was one of the 66 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.600 first if you remember, for about five minutes she was 67 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.519 a presidential candidate and do you remember, do you remember 68 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.399 and this is this is this is good to remember. 69 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.720 Do you remember kind of the knock on Gillibrand at 70 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.959 the time, not that she wasn't she was very personable, right, 71 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.399 except it was like her her campaign strategy was to 72 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.839 go to bars, do shooters and post pictures of it, which, 73 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.759 by the way, I'm not opposed to I like to 74 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.600 go to a bar occasionally do some shooters, right, bemoan 75 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.079 the state of my teams. But also that's it was. 76 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.319 It was a weird thing. And so the knock on 77 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.360 her was she's a little bit of a party girl. 78 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.519 Whether that's fair or not. Whatever. Again, she came across 79 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.439 in the couple of the debates there is probably pretty personable, right, 80 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.360 you know, if you didn't talk politics, you'd probably get 81 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.920 along with her. But like that was the rap. They 82 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.360 were all they kept posting, We're doing a campaign event 83 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.199 at the you know, the whiskey factory here, and she's 84 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:28.360 double fisting. So imagine how hilarious knowing that this exchange 85 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.800 should have been for everybody uh watching, and Gillibrand is 86 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.439 completely unaware. 87 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.560 Be allowed to serve with that limitation. You've said yes 88 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.199 to that question, but then in all of these other circumstances, 89 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:45.480 you've denigrated active duty service members. We have hundreds, hundreds 90 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.720 of women who are currently in the infantry, lethal members 91 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.199 of our military serving in the infantry, but you degrade them. 92 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.920 You say we need moms, but not in the military, 93 00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.800 especially in combat units. 94 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.199 All right, So, and by the way, this is there's 95 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.000 so much to unpack with all these cuts. What hag 96 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.480 Seth is talking about is something I have heard voiced 97 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.879 by members of the military as frustrating to normal order. 98 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.879 And that is the if if you are a male 99 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.800 member of the military and you're married or not even 100 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.519 if you're married, but let's just say you're married, okay, 101 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.279 if you're if if if you're married in the military 102 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.319 and you're a male member, and as a couple, you 103 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.759 get pregnant, obviously your wife gets pregnant. Because we're gonna 104 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.480 stick to biology here, Do you then not have to 105 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:44.879 go to Bellusiah, No, you go to Fallujah if that's 106 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.199 what your orders are. Now, if you're a female member 107 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:54.959 of the military, you ain't going to Fallusiah. So that 108 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.680 is what that actual discussion was about, whether that's fair 109 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.199 or not. Again, I never served in the military, so 110 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.720 I can relay, and I'm very inquisitive, and I talk 111 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.439 to people and I ask questions, and I think I 112 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.000 have a general sense of attitudes on some of this stuff. 113 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.879 But I've heard that voiced as a frustration, right, because 114 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.000 you have that much like the double standards. Now this 115 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.279 is this is more of this part. Let's keep going 116 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:25.600 with gillibrand so. 117 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.519 Specific to Senator Kahnon's question, because Senator Conton was giving 118 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:35.360 you layups to differentiate between different types of combat and specifically, 119 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.680 as Secretary, would you take any action to reinstitute the 120 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.040 combat arms exclusion for female service members, knowing full well 121 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.439 you have hundreds of women doing that job right now. 122 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.680 And the standards your two mile round, Tom is about 123 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.959 the Army combat fitness test. It is not the requirements 124 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.360 to have an Mos eleven Bravo, which is the infantry. 125 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.439 These are yeah, and cotton. He kind of screwed up 126 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.040 on that delivery there and she's jumping on it, but 127 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.319 he didn't say that. He used the word miles instead 128 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.319 of minutes twice and it got a little confusing, So 129 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.639 she's kind of feasting on. 130 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.800 That are the requirements today for people serving in the industry, 131 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.160 men and women. They are gender neutrals, and they are 132 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.360 very difficult to meet. 133 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.959 Well, actually that's not true. I actually have the chart 134 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.319 here for here's qualifications, and this is this is kind 135 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:36.080 of the big one qualifications, minimum qualifications and top all 136 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.159 the way up to top score. The different percentiles for 137 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.759 women and men when it comes to strength right for 138 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:46.320 you know, for various lifts and activities. And the chart, 139 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.519 which is the US Army's chart, has two sections men 140 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:59.639 and women with vastly different numbers all right, in fact, ross, 141 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.200 what are you? Is this deadlift? What is this? What 142 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.480 do you deadlift? Do you know? I don't know if 143 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.759 you do that as part of your workout? What is 144 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.759 your what's your what's your no idea? You have no idea? Okay, 145 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:17.200 do you think you could do two forty? Probably? I 146 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.600 mean probably, yeah, I could do two forty. Yeah, two 147 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.440 forty that's uh, that's that'll get you a top score 148 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.840 on this chart. For women men have to do three? 149 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.200 Is it three? I think it's three fifty here, So 150 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.919 I don't know what the hell she's talking about. Now 151 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.759 that's top score. But also there's a different it differentiates 152 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.440 all along the various things there. Now we can argue, 153 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.240 you know, which, you know, is it important for there 154 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.519 to be the same standards? And that should have been 155 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.399 the discussion, and it kind of was for some, But 156 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:55.320 in reality it's I think that it's that part where 157 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.720 you being able to pick up your fellow service member 158 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.000 and get them out of there with which people envision 159 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.159 in their mind when they're asking. 160 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:02.799 I was gonna say, I think the only thing that 161 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.159 people really care about is can you pull somebody out 162 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.080 of a foxhole if they're getting shot at or whatever? 163 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.840 Like dude. Yeah, And I saw one of the rebuttals. 164 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.200 I don't think I sent it in the cut. One 165 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.960 of the other Democrats said, you know, how many service 166 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.320 members weigh more than two forty when they're in full kit? 167 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.360 Most of them? Probably how much? How much? I mean, 168 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.879 what are we talking about? Forty to one hundred pounds? 169 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.759 Especially when you get into some of these guys who 170 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.279 are really juiced out, like we're not if they're naked. 171 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.399 It is usually not the situation you're dealing with. You're 172 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.039 dealing with them and in you know, everything that they 173 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.200 brought to fight. So it's so much absurd. 174 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.200 I've not been produced in any way. And our combat units, 175 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:57.519 our infantry, is lethal, So please explain specifically, because you 176 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.879 will be in charge of three million personnel. 177 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.639 All right, they kept all right, So she and honestly, 178 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.320 she's the least unhinged. And I think it was because 179 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.120 she was like up towards the front there. Yeah, so 180 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.720 she cherry picks one thing. And here's the deal of 181 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:20.440 the quote, hundreds of lethal women in combat roles. Hegsa's position, 182 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.120 as he explained yesterday. And you can agree or disagree, 183 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.399 or you can say you don't think it was his 184 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:30.480 position all the time. Whatever his position yesterday was every 185 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.240 one of them if they can meet whatever the standards 186 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.919 are that well, you know, the minimum standards. He didn't 187 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.559 object to that, and some people do. Some people say, hey, look, 188 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.679 even if you can do the work, inherently, men, how 189 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:50.480 you know, will will are more likely to try to 190 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.679 protect women, you know, let's say, where they get into 191 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.360 the psychology of it. And and I don't think that's 192 00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:01.159 necessarily a game winning point there, Uh, but I think 193 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.440 it's definitely debatable. 194 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.240 Uh. 195 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.559 And there have been studies where you have uh, you know, 196 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:12.039 gender integrated units and their efficiency was studied against mail 197 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.240 units and it showed that the male units did better, 198 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.919 and then it was called sexist, and then they scrapped it. 199 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:25.600 It was their own study. Now can you recreate it? 200 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.559 Maybe they will and maybe they should the and then Gilibramma, 201 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.639 it's not in that cut there. She She also brought 202 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.919 up the drinking thing, and I just bust out laughing. 203 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.639 I'm like, you were you were. Your whole presidential campaign 204 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.240 was you go in the bar doing shooters, So like 205 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.879 what do you get your box wine?

I'm like, 231 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.919 I'm like, I know this is what everybody's talking about, 232 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.320 but like I'm scrolling through and I'm seeing just the 233 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.720 still images of the video of these women yelling. I'm like, 234 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.480 I have no, I have no, And then they did 235 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:22.879 not participate. 236 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.440 The cat meme. You saw the cat with the or 237 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.279 the cats sitting eating the salad and the woman screaming. 238 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.000 And then nobody can envision it. 239 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.279 Yeah, no, exactly, and then Elizabeth Warren did the meme, 240 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.879 so yeah, yeah, her mouth is open like she's a demon, 241 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.200 and Hegg says face is just like I'll find it 242 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:44.320 and retweet it. It's just a chef's kiss. Man. Yeah, yeah, no, 243 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:48.759 you you lucked out. It was pretty crazy. So I'm 244 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.159 sitting there and I am about halfway through it and 245 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.879 all of a sudden, everything shuts off. My power went out, 246 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.320 and uh. I looked outside and I found out that 247 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.360 they they were actually working on the power line right 248 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.000 out in front of my house, so which I didn't realize, 249 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.039 and I guess they, I don't know, stuck a screwdriver 250 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.679 somewhere they shouldn't. Power went out, and my first thought was, 251 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.080 thank you Jesus. 252 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:12.919 Yeah, it's a gift. 253 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.879 Oh my goods. And then it came on like two 254 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.840 minutes later. I'm like, oh, man, like I was, you know, 255 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.240 maybe slipped the guy a hund row outside, like, hey, 256 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.399 can you knock out power to my whole neighborhood again 257 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.759 for like I don't know, another four hours by yourself 258 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:32.720 something nice? But yeah, it was holy cow. So we'll 259 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.639 we'll dive through if you were lucky enough to like 260 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.039 Ross to not see this, but you still want a 261 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.759 little flavor of what you missed. We're your guys. Okay, 262 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.879 we're your guys, and we'll get to that and so 263 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.759 much more coming up. It is the CaCO Day Radio 264 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.440 program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven 265 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.159 eight seven five. I'm just seeing it is all of 266 00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.039 our audio. I think all of our audio is that. 267 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.039 Oh no, there's something else, a potential cage match. I'll 268 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.159 explain next hang them what the hag Seth? And I 269 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.159 guess anyone who tuned in was subjected to yesterday, and 270 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.759 that is the confirmation hearing of Pete haig Seth, which 271 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.240 in its totality I don't know is necessarily over. But 272 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.519 I don't know what they've stated. How much longer from 273 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.759 a rounds? There was a request to do another round 274 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.240 of questioning and it wasn't immediately granted, I don't know 275 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.440 what the status is, but yesterday's was. Yeah, everybody got 276 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:39.039 their turn, Senator most senators from North Carolina on that committee, 277 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.879 so Senator Slenderman and Senator Bud got their questions in. 278 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.799 There wasn't anything really groundbreaking there, Bud was mostly talking 279 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:53.080 about recruiting stuff, which you know, that's it's interesting because 280 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.679 since the election, recruitment numbers have gone up and not 281 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:04.839 like just a little so watching some of the Democrat 282 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.759 senators during that part of the discussion pretend like Trump 283 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.400 coming into office and and a pledge to end the insanity. 284 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:18.039 The DEI stuff wasn't impactful for recruiting. You can't make 285 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.359 that argument. And and they were tipping their own hand there, 286 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.920 you know, the what was the the way that they 287 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.559 were advertising for recruiting people. You know, there's a meme 288 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.839 for that, right and it literally they they did the 289 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.359 meme where at the beginning of the Biden administration you 290 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.920 had all these very woke remember some of the woke ads. 291 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.759 What was there was one with a woman and her 292 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.720 mom and it started. It was a cartoonish kind of thing, 293 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:50.400 and I like, it was so incredibly woke and stupid 294 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:55.119 that initially I'm like, there's no way the D or 295 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.559 the the the D O D put that out right, 296 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.039 And then you find out they did. And then by 297 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.799 towards the end of the Biden thing, it's a bunch 298 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.880 of you know, a bunch of badasses running through mud 299 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.960 and you know, at the battle, and it really played 300 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.319 to the macho side of it. And there's a reason 301 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.039 for that, right, because they're recruiting numbers cratered when they 302 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.400 were doing this stuff. Cratered absolutely undeniably. We can see 303 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.039 the numbers. And so the joke is, well, as soon 304 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.319 as you stop insulting basically a bunch of you know, 305 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.920 white dudes who really are the core of who's signing 306 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.920 up there, it's got you know, it's men obviously primarily, 307 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.359 but a big chunk of our militaries, white guys. As 308 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.039 soon as you basically decide that you're not even gonna 309 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.839 market to them or create an environment where they think 310 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.799 that they will have an inability to advance, right, which 311 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.359 is with this DEI stuff. It creates those scenarios. It 312 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.680 creates scenarios, and you don't have to be in the 313 00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.559 military for that. You could be at a Fortune five 314 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.079 hundred company and know that as a as a straight 315 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.799 white male, the likelihood of you advancing is more difficult. 316 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.799 And some people go, well it should because forever they 317 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.400 were the ones who ad Well, if you think it 318 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.839 was wrong, then right, it's the amount of hypocrisy is crazy. 319 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.319 So with all of this in mind, and this argument 320 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.039 over I don't think. I don't think women have the 321 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.359 temperament to serve in the Senate. On the Democrat side, 322 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.680 Joni Ernst had a very normal conversation. Remember she's been 323 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.359 critical of heg Seth, and she talked about the women 324 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.000 in the military issue because she herself, I don't know 325 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.640 if she's still in the Iowa National Guard. She served 326 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.960 in a reserve capacity, in a National Guard capacity, And 327 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.559 they had a normal adult conversation about this. And yet 328 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.960 every time they would go over on the other side 329 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.720 of the aisle, it was, what's you know, now, let's 330 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.920 go to Senator Shaheen, right, and then it's like, what 331 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.880 insanity is going to escape this woman's mouth? 332 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.960 In your book The War on Warriors, with the chapter 333 00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:17.440 the Deadly Obsession with Women Warriors that quote, not only 334 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.319 are women comparatively less effective than men in combat roles, 335 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.240 but they are more likely to be objectified by the 336 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.599 enemy and their own nation in the moral realms of war. 337 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.359 All right, So yes, so she's about to take umbrage 338 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.440 one with the very same study that I mentioned earlier 339 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.599 about the effectiveness of integrated groups of tip of the 340 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:45.839 Spear warriors and all male groups and efficiency, and they 341 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.119 studied a lot of different aspects, like the way that 342 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:53.440 people worked together, right, and it was clear that's why 343 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.559 they scrapped it because they called it sexist. But also 344 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.319 she's about to take issue with the fact that if 345 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.119 four soldiers, two women and two men get captured by 346 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.079 the enemy, that the women are more likely to be 347 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:11.559 raped or sexually assaulted. I'm sorry, have you heard of Hamas? Now, 348 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.279 don't get me wrong, they raped some dudes too, But 349 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:20.559 like every single female captive of Hamas that had that 350 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:24.079 I've seen an interview with who is willing to talk 351 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:28.480 about this. It wasn't just beatings. It was a whole 352 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.839 lot of rapn Okay, that's what she's about to take 353 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:38.799 issue with the And it's a horrible it's it's horrendous 354 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:43.119 and it's heinous, but it's not wrong. So for him 355 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.880 to mention this thing, which instinctively, if you got people 356 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.039 who've never heard of politics in a room and you 357 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:54.960 and you showed them some e four dudes, some e 358 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.440 four women, and you know, with a little bit of 359 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.559 time in there, and if they got captured, and you asked, 360 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:05.759 all right, who are the brutal capturers that run the 361 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:09.319 Hanoi Hilton or the you know whatever it is. Who 362 00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:11.880 are they most likely to rape? You'd have to be 363 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:17.599 an idiot because most of you know, the enemies are 364 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.799 don't have women in combat roles, so you're likely being 365 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:21.680 captured by men. 366 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.160 Mister haig Seth, should we take it to believe that 367 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.200 you believe that the two women on this committee, who 368 00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:35.279 have served honorably and with distinction, made our military less 369 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:36.799 effective and less capable. 370 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:39.599 I'm incredibly greatful. 371 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.640 By the way the two women in this committee did 372 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:46.720 not serve in the in that specific door kicking on 373 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.920 the ground, tip of the spear style mos right now. 374 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:52.519 Don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean they didn't serve 375 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.240 in combat. Duckworth did. I can't remember what all she flies. 376 00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:03.079 But my point is it's a disingenuous question because your 377 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.720 own study within the within the army, in certain scenarios 378 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.839 that were studied, said that they were less effective. Now 379 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.240 you could argue, maybe it's not a big enough sample size. 380 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.400 And I absolutely believe that there are women that can 381 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.839 go in and do these things and it doesn't get emotional, 382 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.599 and they form bonds that are the exact same and 383 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.839 and and all of that. But I also believe the 384 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.759 study you guys did probably is not all fake, right, 385 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.000 But I don't know. I haven't I haven't served in 386 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.279 that capacity, served in any capacity in the military, let 387 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.319 alone that, So I don't know. But like we're it 388 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.880 turned into arguing truths. And I'm sorry military members of the 389 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:50.640 military get captured, and they get captured by enemies that 390 00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.079 are willing to do horrible stuff to them, summary executions, beatings, 391 00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:57.640 all of the rapes, whatever it is. You can't convince 392 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:01.079 me that a female soldier isn't more like to suffer 393 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:02.279 the last thing. 394 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.720 Now, it's so dumb, Like you said, you don't need 395 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:09.400 these studies. It's what they're going to do. They don't 396 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.279 let their women walk around without being covered up. What 397 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:13.599 do you think they're going to do to a female 398 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.680 soldier if they get one. 399 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.599 Yeah, they don't have a lot of respect for women, 400 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.599 Like they're kind of like an Eagles fan. 401 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.200
