Welcome to aboard Via Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and celebrate. Rigolet. Publiere. Savoy. Admire.

And profite. Viarai. The voice that we love that we love. Hey, it's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Today on the podcast, Deshawn Watson. Wow. Will he ever play another down in the NFL? We don't know.

The hysteria over the Georgia law. We're going to fact. check the New York Times and some of their fact checking. The border situation, we get into that a little bit, and Coca-Cola, really turning into Woka-Cola now. That and a lot more coming up on today's podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Would you look at that?

I mean, if you don't have good security in a place, almost anything can happen. Anybody can sneak in. Hey. Jeff Fisher. entered our studio, Jeffie's here. I figured I'd stop in. Say hi. Chew the fat, perhaps. Oh my gosh. Yes. And remind

people that they can, you know, follow or subscribe to chewing the fat. Really? So they would go to like a podcast app. Any platform. They would search for fat. It was search for chewing the fat. Oh, but I'm guessing if you search for fat, sure, I'm going to be there.

Okay. So we'll go search for fat, look for Jeffie's face and then click subscribe. Yes, thank you. That's how that works. Okay, perfect. And I wish I had a product to hawk, you know, like a kex of cookies, some kind of Nancy Pelosi sucks pet and something like that. I mean, I've got Moos by Jeffey, but they're sold out right now. Oh, no.

Are they? Yeah. Yeah, they're all sold out. Because the Moos by Jeffie line is prestigious, huge. Huge. Huge. And huge. Yes.

Really big. They ran out of fabric, right? If Lena Dunham can have her own little line of fat gal clothes, um, Moos by Jeffie can sell too. Absolutely. I think that's fair. I think that's fair. So what do you have today for chewing the fat?

Well, you know, one of the things that I found fascinating was that we talked a little bit about it on Pat Unleased this morning, that NASA is about to launch a spaceship that's supposed to punch an asteroid out of the way. I love this story. We're testing Earth defense systems right now. That's really cool. The Bruce Willis thing, basically. Yeah, basically, except we're not going to blow it. up. We're just going to push it.

They just want to see if they can through kinetic energy, move it out of its current path so that if we ever had to do that to see if this would work. It's really kind of cool. It's part of the double asteroid redirection test. And we're launching it in July of this year. And it's supposed to catch up with the asteroid we've chosen by September of 2022. And we're going to just run into it and see if we can get it off course. Are we at all concerned that they might nudge it?

the wrong way. And push it into the bath. Don't be silly. Don't be silly. I'm a little bit concerned. Well, that's what the test is, right? So hopefully, I mean, this one is far enough away that it's not going. What if it redirects right at us?

Yeah. I feel like that's our luck. I mean, it's honestly what we deserve in this country at this point. Really? Yes. It's basically, I think most of us would be like, you know, we had a good run. Yeah. Right.

You know, what are we going to do? I mean, we're at the point in this, this whole saga where we're taking Aunt Jemima off the boxes. Let's just blow the whole thing up. Plus, once we do it, let's say we can do it. Are we going to, do we have a couple extra that we're going to have in the garage that we notice? Hey, there's an asteroid coming. Well, I want another one ready in case we redirect it at ourselves.

Right. At least have another one ready to launch. I mean, we hear stories all the time, and I say all the time, frequently that, you know, an asteroid came within, you know, 100,000 miles of the planet. And, oh, my gosh, we didn't see that one. We just had one that came within, was it 4,000 miles? It was close. It was a real near miss. It was a space time.

Yeah. It wouldn't have destroyed the Earth, but it would have caused some problems. And so, I mean, as in the documentary, Armageddon, Bruce Willis. Yes. I mean, you know, they say in the documentary, the reason that they didn't see that particular asteroid coming was because it was a big ass guy. Yeah, that's true. That's science right there. That is.

It's powerful. It is science. Really well put. It's in the documentary. I mean, did they even try to write these scripts? You are not going to bad mouth.

In the 90s. They were just like, I don't know. Just put, give me a bunch of pieces of paper with catch phrases. We'll just put glue on a piece of paper and throw them in any random order.

Okay, we got big. I got ass. Sky. Sky. That's good though. At least we're thinking of these things. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like we usually get. taken off guard by such matters. Yeah, but we have people flying into space all the time now, right? SpaceX has got people paying money and going up into space. Virgin Galactic has got people paying money to go up into space. Blue origin. They've stopped now, though. They're not going to do it?

No. Yeah, Bezos is like they didn't get one of the government contracts. Oh. And they were like, hmm. So we're not going to? So they're pouting? It's slowing down. Okay.

Slowing down a little bit. You're giving all the money to SpaceX and NASA and Branson is getting a little bit of that money and I'm not. Okay, well, then I'm not going to do it anymore. I hate to see him take his toys and go home. I know. I know. I mean, now that he's retired, retiring from Amazon, Basil, what's going to do? He's got nothing to do.

Just sit around and do nothing. No, this is important. Look, we're spending all these trillions of dollars. We might as well get a cool asteroid thing out of it. Right? you know? Yeah. I mean,

if they would have said, look, we're spending $1.9 trillion on a fleet of asteroid redirection machines. You know, okay.

All right. That's what I was hoping for. It's better than what they really are spending it on. Absolutely. At least in theory, it could do something. That's true. And we know that they're going to start

spending money again on the border wall. Right? I mean, well, we don't know that, but they're talking about it. I mean,

Alejandro Mayorkas, the D. secretary was said in a meeting that they were, well, you're right, that they may restart construction. I'll believe that when I see it. You know, they are having an issue on the border. And of course, obviously, as everyone does know that walls can be effective. Right. So you think if they want to actually stop this, that would make sense. They could blame it probably on Trump. They should have never stopped it in the first place. Effective to the point where, do you remember when Israel used to have the problem with bombs going off on school buses and restaurants.

We'd hear about it at Passover dinners and all kinds of things. It was happening all the time. A couple of times a week you would hear about that. Then they built the fence. You know what? It dropped the incidents of terrorism by 98%. Yeah. 98%.

They also went over. I mean, that's amazing. They also went a big time on security as well. Sure. People talked about, you can't go anywhere. It's not a one-step process. I understand, but it helps. They also, I mean, you can don't go into any, any malls, any office buildings,

any restaurants, anything without being searched and wand in Israel. Yeah. Look, there's a, there's an element of low-hanging fruit that the wall gets rid of, right? It does not stop everybody. Like, they just showed, a video just came out, I think it was last week, where smugglers had taken the, you know, those long iron bars. on the wall that we've built, you know, 20 or 30 feet tall.

And they have some sort of, you know, whatever, I guess, whatever way you'd cut this in a, you know, welding, you know, I don't know. I don't know how they do it exactly. But they had cut the bottom of the pole, basically, the post in the wall. And they cut it at the very bottom. So when you looked at it,

it looked normal. And then they could just move it a little bit and it would swing open and you could just walk right through. Oh, wow. And apparently they found a bunch of these. So lawbreakers broke the law. Right. They broke the law. But again, that takes a little bit of effort.

It takes some expertise. I mean, you know, look, you're not going to stop multi-billion dollar cartels from getting through a fence. But you probably are going to stop a lot of average people trying to cross a board. Maybe some lower level criminals. And maybe, you know, like you can identify one of these places. And no, that's where the big wigs are going to be crossing. because they have this.

And then you monitor that from a distance and then try to capture them once they come across. Like, it does make the whole defense easier. Right. And that's why the wall makes sense. It's an inexpensive way to be able to minimize the crossing of the border illegally. It's not the only solution.

That got to be sort of a talking point. So everyone's like, build the wall. And as if that means there's no one, whoever crosses the border again. That's not true. But you can minimize it. You can help. But it's an easy way to enforce the border.

And that's what critics do. They say, well, the border is not going to stop all these people. Well, no, it's not going to stop everybody. And they used to do the same thing with deportation. You can't put 11 million people out of school buses and send them back. That would be a big school bus. Yeah. We don't have a school bus that big.

You're right about that. We can start with one. But you can start. And you can make a dent in the problem. And, you know, you do it over a long period of time. And you take a bite out. That's how you eat an elephant, right? A bite at a time.

And part of this is messaging. I don't know why I was looking at you when I said the elephant thing, Jeffie. I don't even, I don't understand that. You did look right at it. Yeah, I did look right at it. Yeah, I did look right at it. But it's part of its messaging, right? Like, you know, the policies from the Trump administration to the Biden administration,

there have been some changes that they've made. But in reality, it's much more about people who are, you know, down in Honduras being like, wait a minute. He's saying no matter what, if we get across the border, they're not going to send us back. Right. Let's try it. Where Trump was saying, was messaging, hey, don't come. Don't come.

Don't come. We'll send you back. Right. And there were some things implemented to further that. But as we know, like, there was a lot of things that Trump tried to do in the border and wasn't able to accomplish. I mean, you know, you can't just do it on his own. He did what he could. Well, on top of which now, because we, you know, we're against everything that the previous administration did, which is why we put Kamala Harris in charge.

and she is right on top of it. Oh, because she was elected president, right? No. Well, no. No, no she wasn't. So the biggest, the first initial crisis of the Biden administration was handed to Kamala Harris. Yeah. She's right there.

I mean, you can see her what she does press conferences every day about what's happening and who she's meeting with and how things are on the border. Yeah. Oh. She's down there. She's down there. She's not even living in Washington, D.C. anymore. Really? Yeah, she's living on the border.

She's in McAllen, Texas right now. She lives right there. Yeah. She hasn't visited. She hasn't talked about it. I mean, yesterday, where was she? Chicago? Was it Chicago talking about COVID-19 or something?

She went out to California, I think, right? She went. Yeah, she was in Chicago and then she went to California or vice versa. I don't know. But she's not dealing with the border. She certainly doesn't seem to be dealing with what she's been put in charge with. Right. And so that's kind of.

Well, I don't know if I want her dealing with it anyway. I know. I know. It's kind of a tour in there. You know, so that's a tough one to take. So if people do want to view or hear you eat an elephant one bite at a time, where would they go for that? You could go wherever you get your podcast. Yeah, but how much would I have to pay?

Have you been able to keep the price low, I hope? How much would I be expected to pay for the chewing-to-fat podcast? I'll tell you right now, right now as we speak. Okay. It's free. Okay. So you still have won that battle for the time being. I can't promise tomorrow.

That's why you need to go there today. Okay. And I will promise that you'll be grandfathered in. If we start charging tomorrow, if you're a subscriber today on the platform of your choice, whatever platform, there's a plethora of platforms out there that you can subscribe to chewing the fat on. Yeah. If you do it today, then your grandfathered in will be free. for you. That's great. And we joke about this, but did you hear that they're changing the

subscribe to a podcast thing to follow? Because too many people think they have to pay for subscribe. So they're really? Yeah. So they're changing it to follow because people keep, I guess, thinking if they click subscribe, you're going to have to pay. By saying subscribe, that means that you have to pay. So if it's still, if your, if your podcast app still says subscribe, it's free, at least for our shows. I don't know. Maybe some other shows. Your shows, too? Yeah. So does America. Pat Gray unleashed, the Glenn Beck program. Free for self. We've all been battling hard to try to keep the cost down.

I've been trying to get my cost up. I want to charge like that. I want people who every subscriber to pay $1,000 a month and so far they won't do it. Wow. Bastards. They're selfish. You know what? They're these typical rich white people.

That's what it is. White supremacists who want to keep their money because they feel they've earned it. I think they're all called Casper's now. Yeah, well, the Whites. Yeah. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. I learned something new today, Pat. Yeah.

It's always important to learn new things. And I learned something new. I learned something new about hate today. Oh. And I happen to have, and this is not hateful at all, a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen that I want to give out to someone who can get the right answer to this question. Okay. Our number is AAA 727 Beck.

Nancy Pelosi suckspen.com. Of course, it's a place to get your normal. Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. It's a replica of the pen that she used to sign the Donald Trump impeachment papers, except in Nancy Pelosi's own handwriting, it says Nancy Pelosi and then sucks right after it. It's what a glorious thing to add to your collection. So it says even more than the actual pen. Right.

Yeah. You get extra goldings. That's true. That's great. So my question is, when you have someone who is switching genders and they get a surgery, we would call that gender reassignment surgery, right? That's what everyone calls it. Yes.

Okay. A sex change was kind of the old term. Then it went to gender. But was that hateful? Yes. Yes. It was hateful. So we went to gender reassignment surgery.

Gender reassignment surgery. So you're being reassigned. Yes. A different gender. Okay. If you know the answer, don't say it out loud, Pat. Okay. There is a, we've now discovered that gender reassignment surgery.

Is that hateful too now? Is that hateful too now? Is also hateful? Oh, dang. Okay. Dern it. So there is a new term that it is okay to say for this particular procedure. What is it?

Triple-8-727 back is the phone number. I can't wait to hear. I don't know the answer to this. I don't know it until today. Huh. Triple-eight-7-27 back is the answer. First caller who gets this right. We'll give you a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen.

Like, because this is valued at what? $1,000? $1,940. Okay. That's which I believe was the year she was born. that's why we it's why we actually did price it at $1,940 marked down.

We marked down significantly as a special sale a special commemorative sale. But the normal retail price is $1,940. Okay. Because of her year of birth. So I, because I will say I didn't know this. And I was fascinated to hear this report this morning

about the issues with transgendered kids because there's a lot of hate-filled bills apparently going through Republican states that are limiting in disgusting ways, apparently. Children's access to puberty blocking drugs. Stop it. Don't say that.

To having major surgeries when they're like eight. Oh no. There are some states that think that that's wrong. And as the report acknowledged to Pat, there are many people who have... I can't... I can't. This world is...

Are you about to burst into tears? I really am. I can't. I can't even... They're basically saying that, hey, you know, look, what doctors say and scientists say is this... Not allowing kids to take puberty blockers and to have these surgeries... Well, that's just sheer unadulterated hate.

Could hurt the mental health of the child and the family. So, therefore, it's just hatred. I mean, they were just calling it transphobic bills. There's transphobic bills going through Arkansas was one of the more recent ones. Transphobic bill going through Arkansas blocking children from using puberty blockers and having these surgeries. Like what? There's no line to this. It's like I would say that many years ago, right, there would be a conversation maybe about how any good guesses.

I was saying, because we've got a lot of guesses here, but I wonder if we have any that aren't, like, a very offensive jokes. What line is it? Oh, no. Yeah, okay. This is, I think this is a good one because I was legitimately surprised when I heard it. I didn't, I've never heard this term before. I admit. You still don't know.

Okay. Because we have now advanced, though, to the part of this debate where, remember, I think it was who that was Mario Lopez that got in trouble because he said, look, you know, having kids. It's changed their sex at, you know, a six, seven, eight years old is obviously ridiculous. Or no, I think he said four. I think he said four. And then he had to come out and apologize because apparently it's not ridiculous to change your sex or your gender at four. Right? Right.

Yes. And he, he massively apologized for that. Like he had really screwed up and said something really horrific. Like a four, how dare you say a four year old can't decide to change their sex? sex. How dare you? It's like, I mean, legitimately children at four years old will

think they can learn how to fly. They'll think how they their imaginations are running while with all sorts of different possibilities. And if you come to them with the idea that maybe they should be the other gender, what do you think? Many of them are going to take you up on that. And as we've seen, I was talking to Dr. Deborah So the other day. She has a

a book out on this. She's one of the very brave voices on this who's willing to come out and say what the science actually says, which is many, many, many children who go through this, wind up regretting it later. Many people who thought about going through this at the end of the day think are glad that they didn't. Yeah, I mean, the suicide rates are really high for those who even get the surgery, right? aren't they because you're expecting to feel better and more like you and then a lot of times they

apparently don't and they've got really high rates of depression and suicide even after the surgery so so it's i think i know what it's called though now okay hold on we've got a couple guesses you did cheat i did cheat all right uh matt in louisiana i believe it is uh matt what do you think it is then it used to be sex change that it was gender reassignment surgery what is it now Well, that's Los Angeles, I'm in, so you got to get that right first. Sorry. You know, I'm just going to go with the old traditional, the old switcheroo. The old switcheroo.

Let's just go with that. No, I promise you the new. Unfortunately, that is not the answer. That would be better. I will say, like, every once in a while, one of these, like, PC terms seems to me to be considerably worse than the previous one. The example I would come up with is little people. Like, little people is obviously worse than midget. I think it is.

I think it's way worse. I always thought that. I would not know. But I was afraid to say it. Right. Like they said like, like midget. They're like, you can't say midget. You need to say little people.

That's way more demeaning. I don't know why. It does seem like. Yeah, it's condescending. Again, I understand that like midget wouldn't be the right thing. I don't know. I don't know what the term. I don't spend too much time thinking about that.

But he's like, oh, by the. way we have a little person here with us today. Seems bizarre. It seems like, it just seems like a terrible term. And every once in a while, that does happen. Like, could it go from gender reassignment to the old switcheroo? That seems like it's pushing it. So no, I don't think that's it.

Christy in New York, you have a guess here. It used to be sex change. Then it turned into gender reassignment surgery. What is it now? I think it's gender affirmation surgery. Gender affirmation surgery is a good one. Now, that was not the one I heard today, I will say. But you know what?

That's a good guess. That's a good guess. We'll give you a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen anyway. So let's give that to Christy. But that's not actually the guess. That's not actually the correct one. It's pretty close. We're getting close.

I thought so. Okay. Sam in Pennsylvania. Sam, what is your guess? It used to be sex change. Then it was gender reassignment surgery. What is it now? I'll go for gender confirmation.

That's right. Gender confirmation surgery. Confirming your actual gender. Exactly. You're not reassigning it. Not the mistaken one that you were assigned at birth. And you're not saying you reassigning means you're changing. It's not true. You were always that gender.

They're just confirming your gender with the surgery. That is legitimately what they're calling it now. Gosh, that's amazing. Sam, you're brilliant. Congratulations. You've won a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen. We will get that out to you as soon as possible. Thank you, Sam.

Isn't that credible? That is what there's Incredible. And they actually are like saying that gender reassignment surgery, which was the, it used to be sex change. Yeah. Now they,

it's what, never went to gender change. It just skipped. Oh, we got rid of sex and we got rid of change. Then it's reassignment. And now it's confirmation. And it's in like puberty blockers for children.

Ridiculous. It is now, uh, gender confirmation therapy. Wow. So they're just, you taking medicine. medication to block hormones and create hormones and change your gender is now confirming the

gender you already were, even though nothing in your body says that you're that gender. And this is what they do. This is what they do to make it seem perfectly natural and the right thing to just like we let him get away with this on the abortion thing. Rather than aborting a baby, I'm just choosing. I'm just making a choice. I'm pro choice. What person who is for freedom

could be against choice. And now it's not an reassignment. It's not a change. It's confirming what you should be and what you really were all along. I think you've hit on the single greatest piece of propaganda

in American history. Calling being for abortion pro choice. How the hell did that stick? It's such a ridiculous argument. Should not have allowed it. Right. Like the only. thing that matters is, is it a human

being or not? Right? Like, you wouldn't say if you were just going to go murder someone that you're pro-choice. It doesn't make any sense. Like, you know, if OJ was like, look, I'm just pro-choice. I didn't like Nicole. I chose to have her die. Right. No one would be like, oh, oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. It's a pro-choice guy.

You know, and murder is such a harsh word. He did just choose. He just chose. Huh? To chose to use that knife in that way. And it's like, well, that no one, that wouldn't make sense. And you know, we always, if let's take out of fully grown adults. If you were to say a, you know, 10 minutes after birth, the baby's out there crying, you're

like, you know what, I choose, I choose no. Sorry, kid, I choose no. We would all say that that's murder. But 10 minutes before that, we would be like, oh, well, I don't know. There's a tough line here. And science says it's not murder. It's like, what are you talking about? Yeah.

The fully formed baby 10 minutes before birth is just tissue. That's just tissue. It's nothing. It's just a choice for the mom to make. 10 minutes. later, it's, it's an actual human being. It's completely ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.

And the word, the phrase pro choice has overturned human logic for half the population. It is just, oh, everybody knows. I've said this to people over and over again about abortion. It's like, if you were to say a minute after birth, can you kill a baby? Everybody would say no, right? I mean, except for very few. people. There are some out there that was probably Singer and Princeton

might still keep going with that. But generally speaking, you'd say no. Well, what about a minute earlier? Well, most people would say no. I mean, the polls are something like 84, 85%. You'd say, absolutely not. But every Democrat in the hierarchy says yes to that, at least

in theory. Shouldn't limit the woman's choice at all. Right. And it's like if you were to say someone a minute after birth, a baby was born, and you said, okay, well, and we can kill that. You'd call them a psychopath. But a minute before, you'd be like, okay, it's the mainstream position of the Democratic Party. Yeah. Now, if that's just a crazy, crazy line. And if, and the issue here, which is, I think, the most uncomfortable thing about abortion when you talk to, to normal people

who are just like, look, you know, I'm pro choice. I don't really want to do it for myself. But, you know, at some point, that minute occurs. You say, okay, is it three months in one minute as compared to three months? Is it six months and one minute as compared to six months? What minute are you changing it from murder to non-murder or the other way around? It's either its choice

to murder at one minute period at some point in that process. Might be two trimesters, might be three, might be one. Somewhere you're just saying like, yeah, last, 60 seconds ago, it was fine, but now it's murder. And at that point, you're making the same bizarre

psychopathic choice, you can mock at birth. It really is a strange process. Very much so. It's in very strange ways. But luckily, we have gender confirmation surgery here to sort it all out for us. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Spring is finally here. I know, Minnesota.

Keep it down. We know. Not until August for you. But for the rest of the country, spring is starting to come. And I don't know about you, but I love to grill. outdoors. It's so easy now because of rec tech. There's something about being outdoors in the spring that goes well with a rec tech. Imagine that big juicy steak or that delicious hamburger, maybe a big old slab, a rib slathered in barbecue sauce that's slowly smoking to absolute perfection.

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering. Rec tech does it all. Smoking, grilling, baking. I have one made of stainless steel. It's built like a tank and has smart grill technology, which means I don't burn anything anymore and every time you can control the whole process from an app on your phone or your device you're going to love rec tech follow rec tech and all social media sign up for their newsletter and then go to rec tech with a q dot com r-e-teteq dot com you won't believe the difference i was just going on instagram to post some dumb update about a soda straw and I realized that Glenn had just posted something. And we've been talking about this a little bit this week.

It's been a very strange week around here, I will say, on Monday's show, about 90 seconds before we came on the air to talk to you. Glenn, who has been at home doing the show because he's had a back issue the last couple of weeks. And about 90 seconds before we came on the air, you know, something happened. We, you know, it was, I will say we're, I was talking in the middle of talking about like the Georgia bill right before we went on the air. And, uh, there was some commotion in the house. And Glenn basically ran off screen. And he, and then the next word I got was he was not going to be in it all this week. And it was, you know, really scary, frankly, really, really, really scary. Uh, we later, uh, found out what had happened. And Glenn has just, uh, posted this on Instagram. that his wife's brother passed away unexpectedly kind of, you know, it was not something that they were expected to happen and it was very, very shocking. And he's just posted about that. He plans on being back on Monday. And, you know, I just, I can't express to you how much I know it means to him that everyone is helping, um, helping him and his family get through this with their prayers

and all the people that have, uh, reached out, uh, to help them in a really difficult time. Uh, so thank you so much for doing that. I know we've been able to depend on this audience for sanity for such a long time. It's been such, such a luxury that I don't think most people are able to have. And we've seen this happen to us over and over again in our tough times that, the audience has always rallied around and we do sincerely really appreciate it. I know Glenn really appreciates it. You can read his post up on his Instagram page.

Obviously, Glenn Beck is the thing you'd search for and you can check it out there. But, you know, real, real tragedy and I'm sure he'll give you more on it as we go into next week. And he returns on Monday to the program to go through all the craziness that is going on in the rest of the world today. And there's plenty of it. Plenty of it. Yeah. Some of it coming directly from the administration, actually. During an interview last week with NPR, transgender Rachel Levine,

who is the deputy secretary of assistant secretary of health and human services. And transgendered, obviously, said bills banning young people from accessing drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and transgender surgery. such as elective double mastectomies, as well as bands against males competing in women's sports, are all really challenging to see, she said. She said, I don't see it as a political issue at all. I view this as a health equity issue. It's about fairness and equality. And about specifically health equity, which is part of my portfolio.

So I don't see any risk in terms of politicization of this issue. pretty amazing especially when you consider that we're talking about kids as young as 3 and 4 years old making this decision and according to the American College of Pediatricians which has reported that experts on both sides of the issue pretty much agree

80 to 95% of children with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria quote, accepted their biological sex by late adolescence. Up to 95% of them who feel like, you know, they're trapped in a different gender's body. Don't feel that way then by the time they've gone through puberty. And that research has been really consistent over the years too. It's just shown the same thing over and over and over again. So you're going to chance a four-year-old or a year old or

an eight-year-old or a 12-year-old making that decision that affects the rest of their life and just make that change when all evidence shows that if you just, you know, help them through that time period, that they're going to accept their gender as it is. Yeah, interesting too, because this is, you'd think, okay, why is the left doing this? They're doing their typical promotion of LGBTQ issues or whatever. in reality it's not that simple because what the research shows over and over and over and over again is that the people you're talking about,

the 80 to 95% who decides, you know what, I'm okay being in this type of body. Most of them, the vast majority of them, turn out to be gay adults. So they're actually using the T to crush the G and the L.

Which is an really interesting aspect of this. Yeah. It really is. That's exactly what they're doing. There's a poll that came out recently about how many transgendered people there are in the country. And now they are claiming now there are more transgendered people in the country than there are lesbians in the country. Which seems completely against all evidence. Yeah.

But that is what they're trying to claim is true as far as polling goes at this point. And so it seems as if quite directly in this case, they are encouraging children who would turn out be gay adults to transition to another gender so they are transgendered instead of gay. But at least they get, I guess then they're heterosexual? Right. So, okay, let me take this out here for a second. So you are a, you're born a boy again. Okay.

Now, the whole thing about being born this way is gone. The whole Lady Gaga song is now like a conservative talking point. Because you can't be born this way if you have to get. hormone treatment in surgery, right? Like you're not, you weren't born that way. Right. You have to get all these gender confirmation surgeries

to adjust the way you were born because you were not born the way you were supposed to be born apparently. So born this way is dead. Take it off the album, ban it. Make her change to the name of the song. If she performs it again, boycott her, okay? Born this way is dead.

But if you're born, let's just say, let's use old speak here for just a second. Okay. If you're born a boy, and you later on say, you know what, I'm actually a girl. A girl. Okay. And you have, and then you have the surgery to become a girl.

And then you like boys, you are a heterosexual girl. You would think so, yeah, right? A heterosexual woman with probably a Y. W-O-M-Y. But you're a heterosexual woman at that point, right? And the spelling of woman is really important there. It is. Yeah, it really is.

It tells you something. It really is confusing. And I think the issue, the confusing aspect of it is a feature, not a bug. The reason that it's confusing is because if you're depending on logic and what people understand to be reality, another report I was listening to was talking about the same issue and talking about transgender athletes. and they actually said there's no evidence that a boy who says they're a girl

and says their identity is a girl and plays in girl sports has any advantage over girls in sports. You're just denying science at that point. You're just denying reality. Reality, common sense, science, everything. Yeah.

We went over these things, a couple of these examples the other day, how Serena Williams lost to the 204th ranked tennis player in a blowout in the middle of her prime. 24th ranked men's tennis player. Didn't Venus and Serena play a doubles team and get blown out as well?

Yes. That were men. Yeah. They got killed. What was the soccer, the high school soccer example? The U.S. women's soccer team, number one in the world, by the way, came to Dallas to train. And they played a local Dallas 14 and 15 year old team.

I think they were 13, 14, or 14 and 15, one of the two. and lost 5 to 2. Which is a blowout. It's basically like in football, 800 to nothing. Yeah. That's a similar score. Teenage boys,

like what, maybe 8th grade, ninth grade, maybe freshman, blew out the U.S. women's national soccer team. It's just, it's so far beyond the need for evidence.

Everyone just knows it's true. We are so, far beyond. Well, it's why there is a WNBA. If women could compete with men, would there be a WNBA? No. No, there would not. Of course there wouldn't. They'd just be part of the NBA. And look, you know, if this ends in there being no WNBA, at least something good came out of it. Because at that point, at least we had something that came out of it. A friend of mine texted me the other day, he said, I just turned on the women's final four and the announcer says

Yukon just four of 19 on layups tonight. On layups? On layups? If you're four of 19 on layups, I don't know. I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm not sure what to tell you.

That's not to say that look, some of these female athletes are amazing. They're doing incredible things. Certainly things that I couldn't do. It's not to say that women are worse athletes than all guys. If you have some fat guy like me who's going to come in here and can barely run

100 yards, yards in 14 seconds and probably collapses 75 yards through it, yeah, you're going to be able, you know, the prime, they make these dumb analogies. Like it's the old, the old, the tennis matchup, the famous one back in the day in the 70s, where you had Billy G. King. And, you know, beating up on like an 80-year-old guy. It was a, oh, women can beat men. Look at this 80-year-old guy play tennis.

he can't quite keep up with the world's number one. It's like, all right. I mean, but I mean, and by the way, Bobby Riggs had beaten, I think Billy Jean King was number two at the time. Yeah.

And he had beaten the world's number one. He had beaten Margaret Court just months before that. And there is some speculation that. The guy was what, 63? That Riggs literally did not want to win. Yeah. There was some speculation. Whether it's true or not,

we don't know. But again, it doesn't matter. The point is he was far beyond his prime at the time. Yeah. And a lot of this he seemed to be doing for hype reasons. You know, I mean, there's been movies made about this now, and that's at least what they indicate that maybe this is more about hype than it was about a real competition between the two. But, I mean, still, it's, this is something that you don't, there are some claims you don't even need evidence for. Some would call them self-evident. We used to be familiar with this concept.

You know, you can look at every piece of evidence and everyone knows. knows. Everyone knows men and women are built differently. That's why they break them apart to compete in sports separately. To take a person who is a boy and they identify as Ellen described it famously, gender identity is more like a feeling you have in your head.

Well, if the feeling you have in your head changes, that doesn't change the fact that you're a lot faster than the people you're competing against. And is it such a white, like, they keep coming, they fall back on this. Well, it's not a widespread problem. It's, you know, okay. Do I believe that most boys who, you know, who are trying to compete against women, right, girls, are going to transition their gender to win a high school event?

No. It's going to be incredibly rare that anyone would ever do that, right? That is not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is the fairness of the competition for the girls. the girls are it's unfair to them i'm not talking about the the person who's transgendered here i'm talking about the other people competing the women you know the group that you used to care about you know if you're on the left the group you used to say needed rights the group you used to say you actually gave a crap about well now you're throwing them in the trash we already

discussed this hour how you're throwing gay people in the trash all of these groups that used to be favored now are in second and third and fourth and fifth place. And they're losing all of these battles to the L's and the Gs and the Bs and the T's and all the letters that get thrown in there. It's not a sane way to run a civilization. You have to be able to have a broad agreement on what facts are. And I just, I, this week has been just this eye opening maybe to another degree where This idea that you can just say things you know are not true and act as if everyone else who doesn't agree with you is insane.

We see so much of that. So often.
