Speaker 1

Actually interesting. We're just talking about the state of California might go all masks. The governor is considering a mask mandatory for the whole state. Um uh, there towns in Arizona that through this whole thing mass current required. Now they're going to be required. And for the crowd out there that refuses to our masks or feel it's like some sort of attempt by the governor the government to

control you. I don't know how that's gonna go. We just got this text after we were talking about it. I would quit my job if a mask were required rather than wear I'm a mask. So we'll see. I think it's gonna be become more common as we get further into the summer than it was two months ago when we were all scared. What I'm just sick of just conflict, people yelling at each other and tweeting in the rest of it. I just have had enough, you know,

how about a little agreement. I just wanna I think the great question of history is what we're going to figure out because this is all new. Um, when people say, Okay, that's enough, I can't take it, that's too much, do they just stop paying attention to stuff? And the forces of evil roll over us, um the extremists, or do we somehow get back some sense of normal? Yeah, interesting question. I guess we will off find. We will find out, we will find going together. Speaking of conflict and that

sort of thing. You remember, Gone with the Wind removed from HBO Max or whatever that streaming services because of its racist portrayal. Blah blah blah. I'm increasingly thinking that was a publicity stunt. But Variety, I've never seen Gone with the Wind. I don't think. I have never seen it end, and I've seen chunks of it here and there, and I probably should I didn't realize it's the biggest grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation. It's fine,

it's fine. It had a couple of giant stars. It was an epic, the rest of it. But I haven't seen it. But variety, which is the Bible of Hollywood? Are there any car chases and Gone with willyne carriage chase? Variety? Where was the Bible? Is that? No? Not not the literal Bible. It's the Bible of Hollywood. Is that? With ten other problematic films that could use warning labels, don't dare watch these films until we name them stay with us.

So we got a presidential election coming up. Interesting situation. I had a nerd where the guy running against Trump is leading in the polls without like having press conferences, without going out and rallying, without really doing much um uh. And there there's there's some belief. I think it's absolutely true that they feel like the less he has seen, the better for his candidacy. The Biden of two thousand probably could beat Donald Trump in the election. Ken the

Biden of two thousand twenty. And if people don't see them in their mind, they're thinking Joe Biden from years ago. But if they see him now, they think, oh jeez, he's not that Joe Biden I remember, or if they hear him anyway, here's a little of him coming out yesterday to speak to the world American. He's a president who will do the work. I'm ready in day one after more than three years in office. Why isn't Donald Trump ready? Mr? President? Wake up, get to work. There's

so much more to be done. Thank you, Holy can't. What's the visual on that, Sean? Have you seen it? Well? He kind of holds, so he finishes. I don't think you can be overstated that that was the end of the speech. Right, It's supposed to be very clear when you're done, and then if you're speaking in front of

a friendly crowd, that kind of clap. But he kind of petered off there, thank you as he lifted up his his notes and kind of signaled to the crowd with that's it and started walking away, and then kind of a slow clap started coming from the crowd. So I just glad to hear he could lift his notes because it sounded like, you know, he was too weak actually get the air born. Nobody else could figure out that was the end of the speech either until he was leaving the podium. I didn't hear a goose. So

that's good. That's a step forward. You know what they are winnow and they're they're yeah, exactly, they're sharpening their game. I mentioned this earlier this morning, and I particularly we particularly liked this little ending part thank you. That is the weakest thank you I've ever heard. I am serious. I hear that, and I have this animal reaction that that is one of my species about to die. I have a concerned I think, oh, he does not sound good.

Probably got to gather the family. I'm serious, he sounds terrible. I heard a different part of the speech on NPR. Obviously they weren't gonna highlight that, but I heard a different partner speech on NPR, and um uh, I thought he must have a cold or something because he sounds ill, sounds sick like his voice is a little more or off for a little more air than usual. Now, there was talking earlier of a previous political thank you that had current, that had help until that time held the

belt for weakest thank you? Um do we want to compare Joe's with us today? Joe? Where are you? Where is Joe? Joe here with us today? Joe? I thought you were here today. All right, well you're all Joe the blammer, So I'll have your stand up and say I thank you. Oh boy, that went poorly. That was more. That was more emotional death than physical. Oh you think he was was embarrassed and piste off at his staffers or just realized I'm not gonna win. I'm I'm not

gonna be president. That's what that thank you was. Okay, that was an emotional Physically he's still you know he was. That was the will to live as opposed to his life force, which is Biden's that was the election. Can't get enough. There's a lot of political speech that's crap, and it appeals to the emotions and it's it's nonsense. I'm much more into policy than falling in love with a candidate. On the other hand, and stylistic flourishes, right, yeah.

On the other hand, if Joe Biden had said those same words in a voice that suggested, did I'm not going to be dead tomorrow, in a voice that suggested I have energy, I'm intent, I'm serious about this stuff, Mr President. After three years, you're still not ready. There's work to be done. Get to work. Thank you, We thanks everybody, thank you. But no, he sounds like he's dying.

The only thing I think is the only thing that would explain it would be if you're right that there they're feeling is we need to be really calm and steady as just the polar opposite of of frenetic craziness. We can bore the electorate in our way to the White House. And maybe he just overdid it, or if you're right about he was sick. He had a throat thing going and he was going for quiet, and it just choked off completely. You know, sometimes you're worn out.

We we did uh we didn't add or something a couple of months back and then the hands in, our executive producer, brought it to us and said, I didn't air this. You want to take a look at this, and then he played it back force and it was real a low energy. It was like, I don't know if we're both tired or distracted or whatever, but it's like, come to Jones plymouth or whatever is and and so you know, maybe he wouldn't buy a plymouth from from Jones with your money. Maybe he was just in one

of those moods. But because it can happen to anybody, and we're where we're robusters can be. I can live a hundred pounds clear over my head, um, not even break a sweat. Uh Yeah, but that's that's that's troubling. That's troubling. I'm telling you what. If I'm the Trump campaign, I'm getting a hold of that, man, I'm running that all over and over. And we mock regularly the whole idea of veep steaks, which is always overblown. Who gets

chosen to be the vice president? Who freaking cares, and then then that it has almost no effect on anybody's a three point bumping his whole state of New Hamps. I've never known a single person that votes for the president based on who their vice presidential choices could be. The exceptions could be the exception if you think one, there's no way he does two terms, and two I don't think he can last four years. His personal physician has declared him, oh fittig one foot in the grave.

I don't want yeah, yeah, the vat matters. Are you kidding? He does not sound like a man who will be alive in four years. I don't want to get too dark. But if me neither. If that's if that's Grandpa saying albeit at your graduation in the spring, and he sounds like that, you think, I hope so right right? Yeah, that's not dark. That's just human concern. Yeah, wake up, thank you, wake up, thank you. I'm telling you that

has an emotional reaction. It causes It causes me to think, oh, he's he's blacks a little bozzas say, so you should you should? You can't watch Gone with the Wind on one streaming service that I think was going for a policy and I think it's back up now with the disclaimer at all. My God, slaves aren't actually happy being slaves. Thank you for watching, Honey, did you hear about this?

Turns out there unhappy? Ten other problematic films that could use a warning label Stay with us The Armstrong and Jetty Show. I'm the Scared of the Virus guy now, I and just I think looking at this, Florida has all the markings can become next coronavirus epicenter? What's going on in Arizona? About it? And I've heard so many predictions, you know, wait till two weeks from now. I'm often it doesn't happen. Sometimes it doesn't. I hope I'm wrong. Yeah,

I want to be wrong deeply. Mm hmm. Also here's your headline. Judge rules in favor of squatter illegally occupying house. If you'd like your head to explode, stay tuned for that, sorrow boy, the more laws, the less justice. You know? Who said that? Do you tell me? Because I don't remember John Wayne's exactly John Wayne and Mark Twain or Liel Wayne, Bruce Wayne. I can't remember Alex Baldiley. Actually it may have been Plato. One more headline. We haven't

mentioned while that. There's one more headline, folks, Marcus Cerrio, Marcus Sirius Cicero. That goes back to Cicero. Yeah, the more laws, the less justice. Wow, that's really interesting. Yeah, the government governs best, which governs the least. They wouldn't have had two percent of the laws we have in modern society. Um, top that shot the dude in the back and Atlanta the parking lot at the Wendy's eleven counts could face the death penalty and the charges yesterday.

So that's where that is. Yep, I maintained they are overcharging him to keep calm in the streets, relative calm, and you will see some of those charges fall away

in the coming weeks. But we'll we'll find out. So this, Uh, the folks at Variety are writing about Gone with the Wind getting yank from the HBO service, so you would hear that the HBO service exists, in my opinion, And they go into other films that are racist of course, Birth of a Nation, Song of the South, but the range of problematic films is wide, including Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Mackey really stereotyped role as a Japanese man is appalling there right West Side Story, Puerto Ricans are almost only shown as gang members. Now, Birth of a Nation. There's nobody that doesn't watch that at this point, is like, and it's just a drama, historical artifice, right, it's a it's a it's something you're it's a look at a different time, right, And and racism in the same way. Uh, you watch what's the Lenny Reef install, the movie about

Hitler's eyes Um Triumph of the Will. I mean you don't watch that thinking, Hey, I heard it's a documentary about Germany. No, everybody knows what it is. Moving along the nineteen you seen Breakfast at Tiffany's and Mickey Rooney's. It's terrible, it's pretty over the top. But so what But what are they claiming it should come with? Because that's a great movie, Breakfast Tiffany. I like watching the westerns from like the forties, fifties, sixties where all the

Indians were just Italian guys or somewhat olive skin. But are they talking about pulling Breakfast with Tiffany's? Well, no problematic, okay, but what do you and how about if you're gonna start putting disclaimers on Gone with the Wind. Here's some other movies that might deserve disclaimers. Exact, the disclaimers say, Mickey Rooney has a crazy racist role as a Japanese guy,

and we don't approve and it here's the movie. How about seventy five slave owner drama Man Dingo jaw dropping and apparently aimed at a KKK demographic, writes Variety dot com. Let's see, but those are not even the ten films that need to be presented with disclaimers and discussions before and after a screening. Oh, that's gonna make movie watching fun. Yeah, And and many of these movies are completely iconic ones.

Dirty Harry, I've seen it multiple times. Remember started a craze for movies about Maverick cops who get the job done followed by their following their instincts rather than the law. Oh, they say it's a problem from a cops standpoint, them liberal judges and do gooders, and the villain claims police brutality, planting the seed that other such charges are fake moves to get sympathy. Yeah, it's interesting those movies, the Dirty

Harry movies, and what was the Charles Bronson version. He was always taking vengeance on something that somebody murdered his daughter, and then he was going out anyway. Those were very popular when crime was at its height in America, when crime was out of control in big cities, those movies were popular. It gave people a sense of control. Will we uh have that disclaimer? Before the movie, liberal policies

led to an enormous explosion in crime. People were scared legitimately, and so fantasies about you know, vigilantes who are popular. Now you're not gonna hear that Forrest Gump. The film is condescending to anyone with a disability and people with aids, among others. All right, that's dumb all the way around.

It's actually hostile the protesters, activists in counterculture. And the lovable title character's name is full name, Nathan Bedford Forrest named after his grandfather, first grand wizard of the clan. And you like that. Also a Confederate general um that one is stupid, and that one is that the other ones. Okay,

that one's just stupid. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the exotic villains are portrayed as primitive and bloodthirsty four runners, resulting in negative and stereotypical depictions of India and of Hindu customs. Or is this serious list? Or is this serious? You can't telle Once upon a Time in Hollywood controversial

depiction of of Bruce Lee. Black people seem non existent, the Mexicans as they're called, their car valets and waitresses, and Charles Manson's white supremacist agenda is ignored because he was completely psychotic. It's also not a factual movie. Well, but it's problematic. The Searchers John Wayne plays a Civil War veteran on the Confederate side who goes on a five year searcher's niece who was kidnapped by the Comanches. Wayne's character is an unapologetic racist who sees all Native

Americans as less than human, et cetera, etcetera. Right the Silence of the Lambs. If we go down this road, we will eliminate a great portion of books and movies that are part of the greatest stuff ever made. The problem with the Silence of the Lands Clarice is that it depicts the criminals transgender identification as part of his mental illness, shows him putting on women's makeup, tucking his mail jet way. I wish I could tug mine away. They never do me any not my problem. He plays

with his poodle and dances with himself. Problematic. We need a disclaimer. We got more of these. There may be your favorite movies. Stupid Jennifer Lawrence has broken Twitter silence. We've created a new public Twitter accounts to comment on racial injustice. Will be monitoring your Twitter account all day long to see what the young actress, the twentysomething actress has to say. There is not a microns earth powerful enough to find him. Give a damn. I know it's something.

It's something. It's something that they announce it with the assumption that a lot of people care, and then the news media repeats it is if there are a lot of people that I find that interesting. Well, Jackie takes all kinds? Does it take all kinds? I find myself wondering this. It probably takes several kinds to keep the world turning. It doesn't take all kinds. There are several kinds. I think ought to go, oh, and I want to

tease this Albuquerque, what how do I personalities? Obviously not you know how the town of Albuquerque New Mexico's largest city, is UH dealing with calls to defund the police. Pretty good idea that I could easily see becoming the model UH in a lot of places around a Mary talk about that coming. Alburquerque famously liberal. Everybody knows as Albuquerque goes, so does the rest of the country. What's common? What?

A Colorado Springs man who lived in a dead woman's house and used her car for months after she passed away is causing more trouble for the victims family. The man by the name of Jack Cole. There's a series of reports looking into alleged squatting cases in Colorado. This news station is doing. More than two years after Cole was evicted by the courts, he's filed a lawsuit against the dead woman's family for more than a quarter of

a million dollars. In a bombshell discovery, News five has learned in El Paso County judge has ruled in his favor. There is a twist, So don't let your head explode yet. But so he heard the woman died and then went into her house. Is that what happened? No, No, it explains that in a little bit. But she passed in a bunch of squatters took over her house and um A coal is certain currently serving time behind bars at the Crowley County Correctional Facility on an unrelated sexual assault case.

Even though he's locked up, that hasn't stopped him from filing numerous lawsuits, including one against the Clark family for more than four hundred thousand dollars. In a jaw dropping decision, a judge ruled in his favor. However, this news station did an investigation review the court records. Um it shows that Cold One is cased by falsifying records, records that looked really legitimate. They fooled the court and they'll probably get reversed. But those familiar with cold says is the

type of criminal just won't go away. He's a liar and we have to live through this, said one of his victims. It's just not right. Um So she lost her daughter in October. The woman passed away. If the loss of a loved one wasn't enough grief, she met with a surprise when she went to Wendy's Colorado Springs home to gather her belongings. Jerry said there were random people living in sign whom she had never met for months.

Listen to this. Now it's your family's property. Your family member passes away, you show up, somebody's invaded that home. I would assume I call the cops and they're out in fifteen minutes. Four months, Jerry fought with the court system to get the squatters out, all while this cold character and his friends taunted the family at Christmas time. They even put up her decorations talking about pain. Wow. Finally in tween so it took about a year, but very tempting to try to find a certain crowd of

people then for cash would get those people out of there. Yes, yes, extremely tempting. The only thing that would stop you from doing it is realizing how twisted our court system and laws have been. And you'd think I can't even ask them to leave, much less you know something more extreme. So the next year they finally ordered the squatters to leave. Posession of the home was returned to Wendy's family. Of course, it was destroyed by the squatters. What it's pathetic, Jerry said,

absolutely pathetic. We told the police we needed help. Nobody could help us because it was a civil case. They couldn't do anything. What is wrong with our system. God dang it, how is occupying property a civil case? If somebody like that ever happened in your life and you were dealing with it all the time, obviously alongside the rest of your life, job, kids, health, everything else, you're dealing with this all the time, God dang it, that would be maddening. This News five, By the way, good

for them. They did multiple stories on alleged squatting situations, eventually forced lawmakers to pass legislation expert adding court proceedings to get unauthorized documents out of homes. Um, that's most of what I know about this is the same as a lot of people. Is that movie Pacific Heights with Michael Keaton when they couldn't get him out of that that house in San Francisco. Yeah, and the law kept saying aneling NewBoy. Fast forward to today, Wendy's family is

dealing with another nightmare in the form of a lawsuit. Um, Wendy's sister, the deceased woman's sister, is one of three defendants. This cold guy is suing seeking more than four hundred thousand dollars in damages, And so you've got to defend against a lawsuit which means you I got to hire a lawyer and spend all sorts of money and time. He's a long time convicted felon, does not have legal counsel. But that didn't prevent him from winning his case. Again,

that's probably going to get overturned. But um, can you imagine I went to get my mail and had a letter from the El Paso County Court that there was a default judgment entered against me. I had no idea there was a lawsuit I was involved in. I never got served paperwork, so I had no knowledge this was happening whatsoever. She just got hit with the judgment by the county. Unfreaking believable. You know, life, liberty, and property is are the sacred right that this country was founded on.

The founding fathers change the phrase property to pursuit of happiness. But what they meant and read, um, read any one of Tim sander F's great books, The Right to earn a living for instance, Um, the pursuit of happiness was a phrase that meant the pursuit of economic achievement, making money, getting property, et cetera. They thought property was a little narrow because you know, you have a right for instance,

to sell. If you have a horse, you have the right to sell the horse to somebody who has money, and so life, liberty, and property are the founding principles. And the idea that you could find scumbags occupying your house and they wouldn't be dragged out of there two hours later just absolutely disgusts me. You hate to be disgusted. Um, we need transition music, Michael, come on, what are you doing in there? Wow? Kid, you do We gotta beg you for you cork com free. They'll not keep yelling

at Michael. What I'm gonna cheery mood? Now, come on singing with me? Just when you no not So, there's a lot of people saying to fund the police doesn't mean getting rid of the police, And then sometimes you ask other people and they say, that's exactly what you mean. Um, there's a funny clip I saw Geese. I should have figured out where it was. Katie turn and MSNBC interviewing somebody somewhere about the whole the fund the police thing. This is last week and she said, let's just for

the record, get it out there. When when people are talking about defund the police, you don't mean getting rid of the police, and he said, that's exactly what I mean, and er, um, well, that's that's a lot like Black Lives Matter. People are in support of the phrase, and some people think they're in part of the organization but have no idea the full panoply of what the organization wants, and if they knew that, they'd be gainst it, but they'd still be up with the sentiment, or I'm sorry,

down with the sentiment, as the kids say. And it's become a take a seriously not literally thing, which is kind of funny obviously, since that's what the Trump crowd says about Trump. Um uh, the people don't mean we don't mean to fund the police, because if you pull cutting money to police departments, fient approval to fund the police does better. Because there's a certain crowd that doesn't

actually mean to fund the police. They just mean, you know, fix the police department, Sure, fix policing in America, that say most Americans and most cops. Yeah, And this is what they're doing in Albuquerque. And I have a feeling this is going to become popular a lot of places, and different versions of it. Calls to to fund the police are being heard in New Mexico's largest city of Albuquerque, where the mayor Tim Keller announced plans to create a

first of its kind unarmed public safety force. The Albuquerque Community Safety Department will serve alongside the Albuquerque Police Department, but be made up of unarmed social workers who are trained in dealing with homelessness, mental health, non violent emergencies, which is something the police all of our country have been asking for for a long time. Yeah, let's try it. The new force will give dispatchers a third option besides

police or fire fighters, to de escalate certain situations. You send somebody is an expert in mental health and homelessness to go over and deal with that situation over there, Cops or firefighters who aren't trained to deal with either one of those things just blasted with a hose. Right, if you're a firefighter, why do you have your axe out? Why are you knocking down my tent? I'm a firefighter. I don't what I'm always supposed to do. I would. I've always thought it funny that they have to throw

on their full gear on calls, including medical calls. What if in case there's a spontaneous combustion, which based on our writing with various fire departments. There's way more of that than there is into a fire. Oh yeah, yeah, they really firemen or firefighters is I mean, they do that, certainly, but that's not most of what they do. Funding for the new department would come from shifting resources away from five other departments, including the police, Fire and Transit department.

So you'd be in effect defunding police, fire, and transit departments to have some money to spend on these other things. If we can be grown ups and talk about it this way. Um, So there you go. I think that will catch on all across the country. And I think, well, like I've said several times over the last couple of weeks, some people see this as conservatives getting things done that they wanted to get done with AOC leading the way

or other lefties. Right right politics is so odd because the sadest psycho kneeling on poor George Floyd's neck, Um has nothing to do with police responding to mental health calls. The other has anything to do with chokeholds. Right right, Um doesn't not anything to do with a lot of the things, but right, it has to do with getting psychos off police forces. Um. But It's led to a lot more. We do it all the time. We passed gun laws or various rules after a school shooting that

would have not affected that particular shooting. Yeah, it feels like we're doing something. People don't want to feel powerless. Another thing is going to bring up. What would Joe Biden say at this moment? That's what I'm wanting you, Holy cow, somebody check on him. So send the firefighters to Joe Biden's house. I think he's dying. They ought to call firefighters first aiders. I wonder if it just um doesn't get you as much support politically. Well, I

think they've always been firefighters. Their duties have grown through the years. I mean back in the day, if you're sick, you'd call your doctor, he'd come to your house. Now you call the fire department. Would have been something, oh yeah, good time. Yeah yeah, I like my doctor too, he's a good guy. The most popular article in the New York Times I regularly checked that column. Most popit articles

usually the ones people are reading and tweeting around. The most number one right now is when I talked about yesterday flushing the toilet flings, Corona aerosol all over the place. You're shedding the virus. You're going to say a different word. You're listening on a radio and went under a bridge and things. You have a little fuzzy that was again

that word was, uh, what you call the softy shedding. Uh, you're shedding the virus when you do your thing in the bathroom and then when you flush the toilet, it sends the germs up in the air. And that's a pretty bad way. Probably just don't care. So public restrooms, that's where I should throw my mask on before I go in the restroom over here where there's a bunch of people. Have been people in there, standing there, breathing,

flushing toilets, etcetera. That's probably not probably guaranteed. That's the most dangerous place in this buildings. The second I'm gonna start going in the woods like a bear. It seems like a sensible bear in the woods. Seat. Again, I don't know that much about bear epidemiology. Thank you for asking. That's the question. Um Our text line is four one five to nine five k FTC. What do we want

to talk about coming up? You know, we could get into the game and transgender ruling the Supreme Court just on leave. There are a lot of folks who, with all due love and respect for Neil Corsets, you're saying, boy, he got this one totally wrong. And and it's not just I'm against that. I think he's wrong, but his reasoning doesn't hold on. Yeah, I've I've read, I've read a couple of columns on that. People are saying that's

a major deal, and I guess I just don't get it. Well, maybe I'll get it more when Joe, who almost went the loss, no came super close, explains it to us coming up the Armstrong and Jetty Show. Yeah, I have read a couple of articles, seen some people say that ruling, the Supreme Court ruling, the other day rulings, there were a number of them. The guns stuff was a big deal that they chose not to take up. And then this, um, well,

the the immunity, the conditional conditional immunity, qualified immunity, that's it. Yeah, I didn't take that interview on that. Do you think I could remember? But then the whole gay transgender stuff, I guess I didn't fully appreciate what a big deal this was. Yeah, essentially, I mean, really really really boiled down you can't be fired because you're gay or transgender. Trans enter and Neil Gorstch surprised a lot of people by writing not only agreeing with the liberals on the bench,

but writing the decision. I didn't know you could fire somebody prior to that for being gay or transgender. Yeah, and you know, putting aside that basic question. A lot of people are really critical of gorse such as uh logic in the decision. And I'm gonna have to rush a little bit on this. Um Title seven was passed a number of years ago. It's been interpreted by the courts. It's you can't discriminate against people for several reasons, race, religion,

and sex. And and Gorsetch is arguing that because sexual orientation and identity is tied up in sex, that that that counts. And this, uh, this was written by Ryan Anderson Guests who is a constitutional lawyer and wrote a friend of the Court brief on this case and everything else.

And I found this really compelling stuff. But um Gorstch argues that whenever say is a butt four cause of negative employment decisions, sex discrimination has occurred, He writes, if the employer intentionally relies in part on an individual employees sex when deciding to discharge the employee, or if changing it. To put it differently, if changing the employee sex would have yielded a different choice by the employer, a statutory

violation has occurred. Um. One example was, sean is allowed to date Chicks's not able, but allow if you change sean sex to woman, a woman is not allowed to date chicks, which is the same thing because we don't have no lesbians around here, actually do and nobody cares. But um, that's that's what gorse. It's just saying to change the sex and the same activity is okay. Another Gorsets example taking employer of fires a transgender person who has identified as male at birth but who now identifies

as female. If the employer your retains an otherwise identical employee who has identified as female at birth, the employer intentionally penalizes a person identified as male at birth for traits or actions that it tolerates in an employee identified as a female at birth. So somebody acting like a female is fine if it's a female, but not if it's a male as sex discrimination. But under the Gorsete test, what is acting like a female? You know? What I

mean dressing moody? Oh boy, what else you want to say out there on your island? Hey, hey, down in the whole, here's a newer, better shovel. What Ryan guest goes on to right is under the Gorsete test. If changing the plane if sex would change the outcome, sex discrimination is taking place. Suppose a female lifeguard is fired because she wears a swimsuit bottom but not a top. No doubt changing the employee sex would have yielded a

different choice by the employer. Uh. That male and female bodies differ and thus required different swimsuits to prevent exposure doesn't amount to discrimination unless one embraces a simplistic theory. Uh. And of course, nothing hinges on whether this lifeguard currently identifies as a man or a woman. Consider another example. Suppose a male employee at a fitness center repeatedly goes

into the women's locker room and is fired. Now, it's true that changing the employee sex would have yielded a different choice is that's a quote from Gorsage, But the negative treatment the employee faced was not sex discrimination. Providing the employer and posed no double standard for men and women because each are prevented from entering the opposite sexes

private space. Um And yet with Gorsages opinion, the Supreme Court has embraced the theory of sex discrimination that prevents employers and schools from keeping males out of female only spaces, or either that or it believes only males with transgender status have the privilege of entering female only spaces, and Gorsages theory does not test for sex discrimination. Essentially, it's too simplistic. It doesn't it doesn't account for This is negative.

This is a double standard. This hurts you because it's a double standard. It's just the existence of the double standard alone. Is is evidence that that it's wrong. And I'm having to cut this short because we're out of time, but I agree. I think this is this is wacky and it's gonna lead to some some rough stuff and may may probably be overturned.
