¶ Hot Water Woes and Political Commentary
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right . Well , I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right . There's only an up or down . This is the no Doubt About it . Podcast . No doubt about it , and now your hosts , Christy and Mark Ronkelly .
Well , I think he's going to show up . There's a rumor that we're doing a show right now , and supposedly it's co-hosted by my husband and myself . Oh , nice of you to join us , mark .

Oh well , we appreciate you stopping by yeah , really Okay , you and Ella . We got Ella here . She's got her snuggly blanket , her big old 50-pound Stanley Thermos cup . That apparently has given some kids some troubles at school .
What do you mean ?
Like I guess there's a chiropractor that's one of the parents and I said that they have to give a lot of adjustments now because of these 50-pound Stanley cup thermos things Makes sense Dropping Ella off at school the other day and she left that massive thing in the the beast .
Yeah , here , let me see this thing , Ella .
What's she going to do ? Throw it to you ? She can't throw it to you , all right , okay , yeah , look at it . There it is .
It's , and literally the thing is massive , Like compared to our little glasses . Right , which are big glasses .
Which are huge .
So these things are way a ton . So I went and got it out of the divider in the car and went to hand it to her and she didn't grab it right away . It's all of a sudden I started getting the shakes . I was like I got another 30 seconds in me at most or I'm going to lose this thing .
And she finally rescued me and grabbed it , and so these things are incredibly heavy .
Heavy and the backpacks . It's the kids' school . It's ridiculous . How expensive . Well , go ahead and just get in my shot guy , don't worry about it . Like whatever you got to do . Yeah , you're fine , you're back . No , I just think it's a little crazy that you know what these guys are carrying around every day .
So thank you for joining us , ella , with your snuggly blanket and your beast of a cup . Anyway , it is . What day is it ? My goodness gracious ?
Thursday . Yeah , well , it's Thursday . Yeah , okay , Thursday . We're shooting this late , late Wednesday .
Yeah , we're a little fried because , normally we shoot earlier in the day .
Yeah , we're a Tuesday even . Yeah , we're not having much on this one .
We've had some plumbing problems here at the house . We had to deal with that , yeah , so we don't have hot water .
So what's going on right now is well , we have just enough hot water . This is like a . It's bad . Yeah , it's a situation where you wouldn't believe how nasty things get in the house when there's five minutes of hot water at a time , and so everybody starts turning on each other . You know , because there's always . Oh , how long are you going to be in there ?
Oh , okay , really , what are you doing in there ? Like you start questioning what someone's doing in the shower .
Do you have to shave tonight ? No , you can't . You don't get to shave .
No , I mean one of our daughters I won't say who her name rhymes with Schmaeba loves to have a concert in the shower and extend the shower . Well , now concert time is over . We're all looking at her like we got five minutes of hot water here . You get in , you get out and you get the next person .
Yeah , you can sing when you get out of the shower , but , yeah , it's brutal . I'm washing everything in cold water , which is exciting , so anyway , yeah , we're just praying that we get this thing sorted out , because we're basically flipping a coin to see who's going to get the hot showers tonight . Like who gets to go first ?
You're guaranteed to have the most hot water . Yeah , so you get five minutes and then you got to get out and it's done , and then you got to wait for it to basically reheat again .
Yeah , it takes us like 15 hours for the four of us to bathe .
Yeah , yeah , so we're all backing up , so anybody that experience us up close . I'm sorry because there's a good chance that one of us said I'm not showering , I'm not doing it , I'm not going to do it anyway .

That's the biggest thing . I actually heard from a handful of people this week on emails that just happened to write us . I think they think that you're running for office right now , which you're not currently , just so I'm not sure and they wanted to talk to you about running and I'm like , well , we're actually doing a podcast .
Would you mind listening to this ?
So here is the links for that . So anyway , if you have a second , please go ahead and hit those follow buttons . And honestly , that ties into one of these comments . Rocky the Rock .
Rocky the .
Rock . Yeah , it's kind of a fun one . I said love , love , love this show . We need to spread this out . Yes , we sure do so . Please tell your friends . That's very cool . They don't even have to live in New Mexico , because we do talk a lot about national stuff as well . Faith Stuff , I think , kind of covers all borders , all issues , all you know .
It doesn't it's for everyone , and then we do definitely . You know , obviously , when you've got police mayhem and chaos , we got to talk about that here on a local level Sure . Okay , and speaking of that , the other one is from Matt Cano . He said Tim Keller and Harold Medina need to resign immediately . Enough is enough .
I just put that one on there because we had about 400 of those that said that , so it's been that story .
It's still crazy . Not a lot of resolution on it .
We're not going to talk about it necessarily all that much today , but obviously many of you have chimed in on exactly what's happening with the chief of police and the mayor and just being two of the more political beings on the planet versus politics over people , which is , I think , part of the problem that you have here , and when that's the case , you end up
paying for it one way or another , and I think this city is right now .
Yeah , absolutely , well , okay , and then this one just had to do . We've been , you know , kind of talking , obviously , about the primaries . We are a couple of weeks from Super Tuesday , I believe .
right , we're almost a leap day . Yeah , not even no . It's the fifth of .
This is a sheet of land on leap day by the way , Mark . It's actually a leap . When people are listening to this , it's leap day .
Oh , very good .
Yeah , I don't even know .
So it's a one of those leap day again . It shows up once every four years .
What is leap day Really ?
Yeah , is that the year ?
It's the 29th of the best month of the year , which is February which is the year of your wife's birth . I mean the month of your wife's birth . It's important to keep in mind that .
No , October definitely a superior month . Anyway , okay , but anyway .
so we've been covering all those things , We've been covering the primaries and how those , how those pan out . Gentleman , here , Rob , he had some numbers . After that he said Mark , I don't want to sound critical , but you failed to mention the exit polls showed some of the same shenanigans that took place in New Hampshire also took place in South Carolina .
It seems a little biased to leave that information out . So I'm going to let you answer that one .
I don't exactly know what he's referring to , but I think he may be referring to the fact that New Hampshire and South Carolina have open primaries , meaning that you can have Democrats or independence crossover into the Republican primary . That's my guess . No , it's a fair point to mention , because Nikki Haley got a .
You know , she got 40% of the vote in South Carolina and at least close to it , and we had talked about that's a solid number . But yeah , no , that's very true . There's no doubt that independence and Democrats can contribute to some of that Right . So I was trying to hide that . I maybe just didn't mention the fact that it's an open primary .
So I am biased , though I just wasn't trying to be biased there and I don't hide my bias . You know my bias and I'm happy to tell you about it .
Okay , so we do have what 21 more states voting between now and super Tuesday , so it's going to be a pretty active couple of weeks .
Yeah , it's going to be huge and that's what we'll talk about on Monday shows . We'll go through kind of what we're anticipating on super Tuesday and how that's going to go .
Okay , all
¶ Sanctuary Cities and Safety Concerns
right , so let's move on . We've got some , you know , not such great news to kick off the show .
Well , I think a few things . A lot of you have probably heard about what happened with the killing of the nursing student in Georgia and her name was was Lake and Riley and she was out for for a run and she was attacked by someone , was in the country illegally and killed , brutally killed .
Now a lot of people have been going after this AP story which Ella just threw up for you there . We can just show you again the killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes . I mean that's a ludicrous headline , it's stupid .
I mean , clearly you have media organizations that are deliberately trying to hide the ball on this and everybody knows that .
You know the real issue here is what's going on with our border and when we see issues like what happened to Lake and what's happened multiple other attacks that have happened here over the past two or three days 14 year old being raped , you know , a two year old being hurt I mean these are . I mean these are all sorts of things are exploding .
So we wanted to tackle this from a little different perspective and that is the fact that how things are addressed from the perspective of a sanctuary city , because Athens , georgia , where all this happened , is a sanctuary city .
Okay , and and I want to explain what a sanctuary city is for people who are not aware of what a sanctuary city is , and then why it's important so this was obviously incredibly tragic story . Lakin goes out for a run .
She's attacked by this guy who has been arrested multiple times , crossed into the country illegally in 2022 and then was living in Georgia at the time . He was arrested in New York at one point . So this is someone who's regularly run afoul of the law .
Well , what a sanctuary city is basically is it's when your city decides that they're not going to work with the feds on removing people from the country . In other words , if somebody let's just use APD for an example , because Albuquerque is a sanctuary city very clearly . So if APD were to pull someone over , they can see that the person's here illegally .
For example , they are basically discouraged , if not outright barred , from telling ICE wait a minute , this guy's here illegally . We've got a problem , most especially cities that care about the people that live in them , and the leaders in those cities say wait a minute , we are not going to be a sanctuary city .
If there's someone that's violating our immigration laws , we are going to turn them over to ICE and have them either deported or have them go through proper channels of accountability Right , but that's not what Athens , georgia , has done . Okay , not what they've done at all , no .
So what's interesting is today this is Wednesday night the mayor of Athens , kelly Gertz , had a press conference . He stood up and he decided , knowing that he's living in a sanctuary city , that he's had a role in making a sanctuary city he started to address that issue and he tried to play a little game .
So I want you to listen to what he does and then I want you to listen to the reaction of the people in the room .
Queries from the press in recent days about this notion of a sanctuary city , and so I want to lay some things to rest here . Today . This term , sanctuary city , doesn't have a sole legal or procedural definition . You can look in Georgia statute and you can find a clear definition for a unified government .
You can look in contractual language and you can find out exactly what it means to be an SEC institution . Sanctuary city doesn't track with either of those , and so that term means different things to different people , depending on the context of the discussion . Many of the elements , many of the elements we are here to listen . We are here to listen .
We have time for questions .
You are guilty and got blood on your head for this murder , sir .
Many of the aspects Okay so the people standing are yelling liar at him , you know , makes complete sense in the respect that he tries to hide the ball and say well , this term doesn't really know .
It's very clear and it's happened in a variety of cities across the country where you have people who are more interested in virtue signaling than keeping their people safe . So what have they done ? They go out and do these things like oh no , you know , this isn't . This is not any sort of issue with being a sanctuary city .
Now they're scared of sanctuary cities because of what's happened at the border . And then Biden has opened the border up and then all of a sudden , we've got violent crime and people being letting because we don't know who's in the country anymore at all .
And so this guy , being the coward that he is , goes up there and tries to say well , this word doesn't mean , and he correctly , is called out for his garbage .
Right , and I mean I think that's important to also . You know again what you said where this guy entered the country legally in 2022 , in El Paso , texas . It's not like he just crossed and nobody knew who he was . He crossed , he got the whatever you know . He got stopped by the guards or whatever .
The border patrol was told there's not room in the detention holding area and was let go . Okay , he's from Venezuela . We know that actually , a lot , of , a lot of the .
I mean I don't even know if you've saw this or not , but recently Bloomberg has reported that the crime in Venezuela is dropping significantly by single men and by the gangs because they're leaving their country . So what are we doing ? Well , come on in , come on in . If I was this girl's parents , I would be suing the city .
I would be , I would be on fire about this situation , because this is a tragic murder of a 22 year old girl . That did not need to happen , and I get that murders happen sometimes . I'm not oblivious that crime isn't only committed by people that are here illegally .
I understand that , but this was an unnecessary situation and my understanding is that he killed her because he was trying to stop her from calling 911 .
Well and this is policy matters here . This is why we're talking about this . This has to do with policy and policy matters . When you go in and you get him arrested by the way , in New York City , by the way , another sanctuary city , right Another sanctuary city where he gets arrested don't call ICE , don't report him , let him go right back out again .
And that's the unholy problem you have here in Albuquerque , and that is , not only are we a sanctuary city , but we are also a revolving door justice where we let him right back out on the street . So we do both we don't report him to ICE and we put him right back out on the street . We are absolutely a sanctuary city .
So I want to take you to a KRQE story and you can just listen for yourself
¶ Sanctuary Cities and Christian Nationalism
right here . Just when Tim Keller took office , here was one of the first things he did .
Tim Keller signed a council passed resolution declaring Albuquerque an immigrant friendly city . It also stops city resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws .
Boom .
Why , yeah , and why .
Like this is too virtue signal to be able to say we're an immigrant friendly city , we're not going to allow the feds to come in here and do their job . And now Biden has taken this right to the White House , so he's let eight million people in , don't know who they are .
And now we have these blue city mayors that have come in and said we're not going to allow the feds into arrest anybody that breaks the law . So this is what you get , and I don't care what side of the aisle you're on . Who in the world wants a mayor or a president who won't protect their country ? So how about you just enforce the laws ?
How about you have a secure border and when someone breaks the law , you arrest them and , if need be , there they get deported . But instead they don't do any of that . They virtue signal , they don't do their job . And then they turn around and they try to say you're politicizing everything . This is policy . This matters . Who you elect matters .
If they don't care about your safety . Eventually it's going to come to your doorstep and it's happening more and more . We can fix this , but people from both sides of the aisle have to stand up and say cut the crap and keep your people safe .
I couldn't agree more . So it sounds like whoever I mean whoever decides to run for mayor I mean this next upcoming election against Keller , will they not have a good case right now for saying , well in the sanctuary city policy ?
Oh , it's the number one thing you say . If you're running for mayor of Albuquerque , the first thing you say is I'm going to end sanctuary cities Period . I mean , that's a no brainer and it absolutely needs to be done . Not that you don't want immigrants in your city Everybody does . If it's done the right way , so just do it the right way .
But they've taken the law , shredded it and then it turns into a disaster and they don't want to take responsibility for it . It's like this guy in Athens he stands up , but what are you talking about ? I don't know what that means . You're a clown . He absolutely should be screamed out by your constituents , who should demand better .
Well , and I'm just wondering like okay , so we have . We have fentanyl coming up the border like crazy , right , we've got human trafficking , which we've talked about at Nazism . That's happening , and now we have illegal folks killing Americans . What is it going to take to make this policy stop ? Yeah , what are we going to do here ?
I think you're going to see , I think , when do we start protecting ?
I know the people of this country and the people of these towns . I mean I mean , oh my gosh , I would . I feel so badly for this girl's parents . Terrible , because a lot of us out there were thinking about where we're going to send our kids to college . We're already worried about is this , is this a good college to be funneling our money in ?
Are they going to learn about how to be anti Israel and and whatever crazy concoction they've got ? Now we're going to worry about like hey , they go for a jog , that some lunatics going to go out there .
I mean I just this , just really know you're right and , by the way , this , this theory of you know originally supporting , for whatever reason , the sanctuary city policy , it had much wider implications in 2020 . I want to grab one of the little piece of this story , and Ella , it's clip number four , and let's just listen .
Because we are a sanctuary city , we also put federal law enforcement dollars at risk . Listen to this .
I've been published in the Albuquerque Journal this morning . New Mexico's US attorney , john Anderson , says Albuquerque sanctuary city policy is threatening roughly $10 million in federal funding . That could help hire more APD officers and make a federal task force to help round up violent criminals .
Yeah , the sanctuary cities and the policy in this instance is presenting an obstacle to getting as much needed federal funding .
So this has been said for a long time . That was late in the Trump administration . So guess what ? Keller politicizes it , the governor politicizes it and says we don't , we don't , we're not going to be part of what you're doing .
What they were doing was trying to boost law enforcement to keep the people of your city and state safer , and your answer was no , no thanks , no thanks . We'd rather virtue signal , let people die . That's what they're saying . That's effectively what they're saying . This has to stop . Their policies matter and what they say and advocate for matters .
And if they're going to do this , if we're going to see leaders like Keller , like other people around this country , who decide they'd rather put you in danger than do their job , then we've got to make sure we get them out . And again , most people don't support this , but they don't know it . Yeah , they don't know what people are doing .
Well , and I think there's always been this , all this confusion about sanctuary cities . I got asked that a lot on the campaign trail is what is a sanctuary city Right ? Why do we have them ? Do we get to vote on it ? I mean all those questions I'm like well you get to vote on who you put in office .
The city council voted on it , by the way , and Keller signed it . That's what it was . City council voted past it , by the way , city council that is no longer there . It's a much more reasonable city council in Albuquerque now than it was .
In all fairness to the city council , you have a completely different city council now in one that is much more reasonable than the one that was there back in 2020 , 2019-ish , so that part of it is a positive .
Well , maybe they can . Can they be the ones that present the let's kill the sanctuary city policy ?
Yeah , absolutely Could put it right in front of them Could put it right from Well , I think this would be an interesting news story if somebody would like to take a local angle and say you know , this is what's happened in this small Athens Georgia college community .
Why are why do we still have this policy in place and are we putting our college kids and our citizens at risk ? Yeah , it'd be a great localized story . Well , and it's just a general Tip of the day .
Yeah , it's just a general law enforcement story . You've got someone breaking the law . Stop taking police and law enforcement out of the mix , trying to protect the criminal at the expense of law abiding citizens . Stop doing it , just stop , and that's all you're doing here , and stop taking the issue and trying to turn it into you don't like immigrants .
That's not true . None of us are that way .
Right , so stop . It's an old argument , don't worry On the story , I can hear it now . We reached out to the mayor's office . They did not respond .
They did not respond . We're going to drop the story . And now we're done with the story . Now we're going to go into weather , yeah .
I can hear it right now . Anyway , okay , let's move on .
Okay , so I second issue here and this is going to this is another one of those issues that's interesting to me and because I'm starting to see it more and more , and this is this term Christian nationalism . Have you heard about this ?
Yeah , I , oh , I have .
Okay , so Christian nationalism now is an attempt by people , especially in the media , to turn people of faith that are Christians into extremists .
Okay , so racist extremists yes .
No doubt . And so , trying to figure this out , I started to dig in and I started to say what is Christian nationalism ? What even is it Right ?
And I would I would venture to guess mark 75% of people that are polled have no idea what the actual definition is .
No , no , no , I don't think there is a definition , I mean , that's why I don't know they have no idea .
It's , it's up . It's open for interpretation .
Right , right , and it can change at any time . And the whole idea is hey , we're going to try to make you people of faith wherever you fall on the Christian spectrum . Whenever we need to . We're going to try to turn you into an extremist Maybe , maybe try to turn the end or racist , but that's getting a little old . So people are getting by that .
So now we're going to take your faith and try to turn it into something to marginalize you or to make you seem like you're crazy or whatever else . And so one of the most interesting quotes I heard on this came from Heidi Prisbilla .
She works for NBC News , Okay , and so I want to play her full quote and then we can talk about it and kind of lay out where this is going . Because Russell Contreras , who's based out of New Mexico , who's a writer for Axios , who actually think is a good guy , did and did a , I think , horrendous story in Axios on this too .
So we'll get to that in one second , but listen to what Heidi Prisbilla says here in her soundbite .
You're gonna hear words like a Christian nationalism , like the new apostolic reformation
¶ Christian Nationalism in Trump's Circle
.
These are groups that you should get very , very schooled on , because they have a lot of power in Trump's circle and the one thing that unites all of them because there's many different groups orbiting Trump , but the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists not Christians , by the way , because Christian nationalists is very different is that they believe that our
rights as Americans , because all human beings , don't come from any earthly authority . They don't come from Congress , they don't come from the Supreme Court , they come from God . The problem with that is that they are determining man , men they are determining what God is telling them , and in the past , that so-called natural law is .
You know , it's a pillar of Catholicism . Catholicism , for instance , has been used for good in social justice campaigns . Martin Luther King evoked it in talking about civil rights .
But now you have an extremist element of conservative Christians who say that this applies specifically to issues including abortion , gay marriage , and it's going much further than that , as you see , for instance , with the ruling in Alabama .
So you're okay , that is a grease fire of an explanation , first and foremost . But if she goes out and says what she does , that Christian nationalists believe our rights are inherent from God , not from government you're right Then is that ? Do we all fall into that ?
Well , if you believe in the Declaration of Independence Mark , you do fall under that , because I don't know if you know this or not and clearly she doesn't know this , but it's the . I believe it's one of the first lines of the Declaration of Independence . I'm just going to read it in case maybe she missed civics class in ninth grade .
It says we hold these truths to be self-evident , that all men are created equal , that they are endowed by their creator with certain enable . Say it Unalienable . Rights , that among these are life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness .
I mean , even if you I don't know , miss Civics , maybe you saw Hamilton , because that was wrapped in Hamilton I mean to me , this is she has taken your belief that , hey , by the way , we are all created equal by our creator . It's what we founded this Christian , I mean this geocristian country on .
That was what we were based on , and , even though some of these founding fathers didn't practice Christianity themselves , they believed in taking care of human rights , based on what we were created to do and to be , and not to be ruled by a monarchy , which is why they divided the church and the state situation .
So no one religion would be favored . Not that there's no such thing as faith , and it's so that one church would not be favored by the government .
Right and in respect . No government is going to be your who makes your decisions for you all the time , right , which is why she's saying , oh , these people , these crazy lunatics .
Well notice how she tried to muddy it up .
Oh , of course she's frozen everything else .
Oh , these , you know , these people believe that their rights come from God . And no , no , some of this has worked , and it's not all Christians , and that's the idea .
Yeah , muddy it .
The idea is there is no definition . The idea is , I'm going to call you a Christian nationalist . It'll make you sound like an extremist , even though most people in the country share most of these views .
But yet , when we need to marginalize you and turn you into a whack job because you oppose our crazy policies , that's what we're going to do , because we're going to turn you into whether it's wrapping you in Trump or whether it's wrapping you in some other issue that we think we can demonize you on . That's how we're going to do it .
And if there's no real definition , well , guess what ? We get to do it whenever we want . And that's what they're doing with the Christian nationalism . And so Russ Contreras writes this article for Axios and it says poll most Americans cool to Christian nationalism as its influence grows . Now again , what is Christian nationalism ?
He doesn't even give it a definition of any sort of specificity in any way . All right , so here's a quote from the story here and a couple of different quotes as this thing goes through . About two thirds of Americans reject or are skeptical skeptical , excuse me about Christian nationalism , despite its rising influence . Why it matters ?
Some Republicans are openly expressing Christian nationalist views , which have ranged from calls for more religion in public schools to book bans and even suggesting democracy should die . Name a single person of any sort of note or importance who said democracy should die because of being a Christian . Stop it , let's just garbage . And I can't believe he wrote this .
But again , we'll get to why this was written in just a second . But we find out that turns out red states have Christians and blue states have fewer Christians . Okay , that's that's what some of the story says here , and it goes through . California has fewer Christians than , say , florida . Does you know stuff ? That is okay , that's fine , whatever .
Whatever that means it doesn't really matter . But the key thing here that is mentioned in all of this is that seven out of 10 Americans say they reject or skeptical of the Christian nationalism . A PRRI survey says hmm , so you say , hmm , who's PRRI ?
Well , we'll get to exactly who PRRI is , but basically it is run by a guy who writes some books that are very much anti white Christian . This guy hates white Christians for whatever reason .
I don't have any idea why maybe , so you can sell some books . Well , that'd be my guess .
It's unbelievable , right , but so ? So here's . Here's the next one , ella , it's clip nine , and I want to show you a poll quote from this . And this is the way axios writes their stories are they do a very , how would you say ? Their style is very bullet pointy versus doing real stories that are written out long form .
So they're definitely bullet points as , between the lines , Christian nationalism is a set of beliefs centered around white American Christianity dominance in most aspect aspects of life in the United States .
¶ Debating Christian Nationalism and Gender Politics
Many Christian nationalists believe the federal government should declare the US a Christian nation . Many also believe US laws should be based on Christian values . Oh , christian values like thou shall not kill . Christian values like thou shall not steal .
Christian values like thou shall honor thy mother and father , those crazy Christian values that form the basis of law in the United States . Like , what is he talking about ? It's such crap . And you listen to what they say in it in its craziness , and so this sort of thing ends with a quote from Robert P Jones from PRRI .
He says it's really a claim for an ethno religious state and there's nothing democratic about that worldview . That's where he gets the anti democracy thing from this guy's quote , robert Jones , who says it's anti democracy . Okay , that's nothing but a political statement . What are we talking about here ?
We are smearing a vast majority of the country that hold Christian faith and don't have any idea what you're talking about . When you're getting into all these things , you're trying to ascribe to people . I mean , imagine doing this to another group , imagine doing this to people of another faith and just saying , in smearing them with all this , it's just awful .
And so there's there's plenty of pushback on this , and I think one of the more amusing pushbacks on this pushback .
There's some pushback at this table ?
Well , there is , I'll tell you that much there is , but also it was an article written , I think , late last year and it was written by Jillian Richards and it was an interesting article . I just want to I want to play or not play .
Actually , I'm just going to want to read just one little quote from her that I thought was interesting in the story that she wrote about , quote , christian nationalism . And what a bunch of garbage it is .
The term Christian nationalism is clearly a wax nose , which I love that phraseology because basically they're turning it into whatever they want to turn it into . They'll mold the wax nose , however they need to serve their purpose , just to demonize whoever they need to demonize at the time .
Its lack of standard definition allows critics to bundle evils like white supremacy and racism with standard conservative views on marriage , family and politics , right , and so if you're the racist and you go and mix them with somebody who's pro-life and just turn them all into one and they're all evil , right , you create that evil .
And so if Christian nationalism , referred to by those who endorse the integration of church and state power , racism , white supremacy , then they should reject it . But there's not one national figure who advocates for any of the crap that they try to throw in is quote Christian nationalism .
Right they . Just what they're trying to do is they're trying to circulate it and say these are the groups that are in favor of Trump , this is the big scary group that you need to be scared of , that are going to vote and support Trump . I mean , okay , so you've got folks .
I'm also really bothered by how much people are trying to strip away the word patriot . Right , patriot is starting to become more and more of a negative connotation , and that is infuriating . I mean , that's sad and infuriating .
That shows me that we're now going to just keep demonizing people who do value the Declaration of Independence , who do value the Constitution , who do value the Constitution .
It used to be a bipartisan thing and I still think in many ways it should be it absolutely should be , and I absolutely want to believe with all of my heart that that will come back around .
I do believe we're just a polarized situation right now . We're battling out this Biden-Trump thing again and it creates divide like nothing I've ever seen before in my lifetime . So I do hope that we're coming back around on that . But are you ready to dive into this more localized story of the woman we've had on before ?
Yeah .
Couple of times . I think Riley Gaines .
Yeah .
Okay , she was here . You guys might remember this . She came to Albuquerque . We talked about this A few months ago . She came in to speak at UNM through a UNM event . She tweeted that night that she was .
It was crazy that they that she was just given a bill as she left by the security team for something in the amounts of over $10,000 for security , yeah , and when there really wasn't anybody there to riot against her . I think there was a handful of people who showed up or something , I don't know , but it was nothing that she had asked about .
She had nothing . She had requested nothing that anything like that . So now she's turning the tables and she , according to her recent tweet , says that she's officially filed a lawsuit against the University of New Mexico for charging me over $10,000 in security fees based on my viewpoints and beliefs .
So she said , groups who hosted drag queens weren't charged the same security fee . So it's kind of interesting to see what's going to happen here . Okay , so that's really what Riley's lawyers quote . The government must treat all views equally , full stop .
Yet when universities like UNM enforce policies inconsistently with mixed results , like UNM did here , there is strong interference of viewpoint discrimination . So they basically are saying UNM didn't even try to hide this , and so we'll see what happens with this .
It's unreal . This is just again two sets of rules . You just go by two sets of rules and if you're on , you're on , you have a certain set of thoughts , that then you , you have certain rules , and then we flip them and and there should be no answering for this Right , I mean , isn't that the way we do it now ?
Right , we just give them . I mean , my guess is , hey , here's a fat bill so you never come back to our state . Right , that's my guess , like let's , and it's not our state .
This isn't anything that kills me , these people , especially for UNM . Who gives you the right to act like this ? Just go treat people the same way . I mean , that's it . That's all anyone's asking for . That's all Riley's asking for .
I know , and again , I mean , I know I hammer on this all the time , but she's here just to talk about women's rights , women's equality , women , women , women , women , women , women , women . That's it . And the fact that somebody has to come out of this and be like this is a race . I mean , again , she's been called a racist .
She's been called every name in the book , right , and it's like give me a break . This is a basic right for a woman who wants to compete in sports , that's it .
Yeah , and the fact of the matter is what she keeps talking about . These issues keep popping up , and so we've talked about Riley being here a bunch , and then now the story out of Vermont is unbelievable .
So there's a coach for a Vermont's women's or girls basketball team that pulled his school from a game with a transgender player on the other side playing against them . And what happened ? Well , now he's being suspended . He's not able to coach anymore . The Vermont Principles Association went after him .
So the coach's name is Chris Goodwin and he said look , I've got four daughters . I've coached them at one point in their careers playing high school basketball , as he was the coach of the Mid Vermont Christian School . He said to Fox and Friends .
He said I've also filled in for the boys' coach when they can't make practice , and I've run those practices and boys just play at a different speed , a different game , all the way around . He said , adding that it would be irresponsible and asking for injury to have smaller female athletes . I mean , it's that clear .
And the private school declined to play long trail on February 21 , 2013 , a Division IV playoff game , because it believed that competing against a team with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of the players . No kidding right .
Right . I mean I think this is like basic 101 . You go out to play . I mean I obviously played basketball growing up , so I'd play a lot and I thought , oh , I was good , right . I'm like , oh , I'm good .
I really wasn't very good at all , right , but I thought I was good at the time , and I remember going out against some of the guy basketball players thinking , oh yeah , I'm going to take you out , and like there was a couple of those girls doing , you know , we're going to play this little picket game .
You guys are running the picket fence on me .
Yeah , we're going to do all these crazy things . We got killed by these guys , and not only do we get killed . I remember very vividly they would really have to go soft on us in a lot of ways , because they would have just knocked us right to the ground , an elbow to our nose .
I mean , those are the things that they were more aggressive as a player and their body parts hit you at a different height level . Right , right , no .
And so this simply gets to the point of you either going to protect women's sports or you're not . So then Chris Goodwin decides hey , my team is not going to be able to play a team that has a biological male on it . We can't do it . So what does the Vermont Principles Association do ?
Well , they decide that to ban his school , mid Vermont , from all athletic events as a result of the team's refusal to face a trans player , and the school later filed a lawsuit against state officials . I hope they take them to the cleaners .
So not only are they going to not play that game , the Vermont Principles Association is making sure that other kids don't get a chance to compete . Why ? Because they won't do what they want them to do . You either bend the knee or you get the heck out . That's what the Vermont Principles Association is saying , and it's an embarrassment .
It's an absolute embarrassment , and I hope that Goodwin destroys them in court and I hope they realize protect women's sports , allow an opportunity for everybody to compete , and you can do that , but you don't have to destroy women's sports to do it .
No , and again it's like let's punish all these other freshmen , juniors , seniors from playing a sport because you want to push your ideology down these kids' throats . I mean , that's really the answer here . That's what we're showing our students in Vermont right now . I mean , it's an unbelievable . I mean and you have video here that shows exactly what we're talking
¶ Controversy Over Transgender Athletes in Sports
about . This is from a game . Do you know where this game is from ? I don't know where it was from .
A few weeks ago . A lot of people saw it . It's a biological male getting a rebound , grabs the rebound and then flings the girl to the ground . Else you can roll it again one more time and you can just see how , what the force he uses . He just rips her down and she throws down .
Three people were hurt in that game and they had to end up forfeiting the game because of three people that were hurt because of these interactions . It's just ridiculous .
Yeah , the whole thing is just . I'm actually just so over this . I don't know who supports this and who doesn't get it by now , and it's sad to me that it's mainly women that are the ones that are defending having this game , Having the transgender students play against biological women . I'm like what happened to you ? Like , wake up .
You're the one that are single-handedly trying to destroy women's sports .
It's wild , and so we'll see what happens . We'll continue to track that story , yeah . It just shows you , though , how insidious this is , and when you have adults that can't go out and make the right decision and they decide if you don't follow our ideology , we're going to destroy your high school career .
Yeah .
Because if you're a kid , All of the students . Well , think about it . If you're a kid at this mid-Vermand School and you're saying , wait a minute , I have a short window , high school is a short window , and when you have principals like , no , we're not going to let you compete anymore , we're not going to let you , and it's just , how dare you ?
Yeah , these people are awful . Yeah , I mean it really is . Grow up , wake up and start to defend the values that we all share , which is allowing kids to compete against other kids in their same level . It's ridiculous .
I wonder if the Vermont Principal Association did some hiring from say , like Disney , I don't know .
I mean I'm embarrassed man , that's what it is ?
Yeah , it's awful All right .
All right , so a couple more quick things . The Obama aides are coming for Biden again . Here we go right . Yeah , now this is not an overt like trying to take out Biden , but they're asking Biden to do the backflip again .
You know , my little thing with Biden is when you go and ask Biden to go out and be something he can't possibly be Right , he can't defend anything , he can't really speak , right ? So you're asking Biden to do the backflip again . So former Obama aides sound the alarm over Frail and Mumbly . Biden war in his age is a very real issue .
So Biden's main issue , according to John Favreau , who was one of Obama's he was Obama's lead speechwriter If you watch Joe Biden speak , oftentimes he sounds Frail and he sounds more Frail than he used to , even in 2019 and 2020 . The voice sounds Frail .
He shuffles more because of arthritis in his back , favreau said , adding that the oldest president ever appears Mumbly when world events seem like they're , they're overtaking him and he's out , not out there enough forcefully . That's what's getting people concerned and that's right .
When you can't make the case for either your own reelection or you can't make the case for whatever ad Ukraine , you know , securing the border or whatever it is when you can't make that case all of the sudden , you can't ever move your numbers . You can never improve anything because you can't get out there and actually make a cogent point .
And now people have sort of just tuned him out .
Right . Well , and this other . There's another key quote from that . It says I'm sure that going out there means more missteps , more gaffes that start circulating , but if you don't view Biden being out there as a net positive , then the argument he shouldn't be running is correct . It's basically right , right .
Yeah .
And then it says here meanwhile , former Obama senior advisor , dan Pfeiffer , expressed his own concerns in a separate interview by saying it's a very real issue , right , he goes on to say sorry . He goes on to say this is a very tiny print . I'm reading here and I need my little reader .
Your readers , yeah .
Pfeiffer said , addressing Biden's age should be the first strategic priority for the reelection campaign . There's a segment of voters who have decided as of right now I think their minds can be changed who have decided that Joe Biden is too old for the job and can't do it , so they're not going to listen to anything he says .
OK , that's that . The reason that quote is crazy is because he says I think their minds can be changed . Right , if they . How are their minds going to be changed ? That he's too old , how are you going to do it ?
Well , I think his argument is saying hey , put him out there more , and you put him out there more it's more and more gas .
I understand , so they're asking Biden to do the backflip . Hey , bud , go do a backflip , and if you can do a backflip , well , win the election . Well , he can't do a backflip . So the more you put him out there , the more he's going to make more mistakes . He's going to he's God forbid going to fall .
He's going to mumble his way through something , he's not going to be able to make the point , he's going to mix up people , he's going to have trouble getting the words out , and so how in the world can you possibly say that this guy can be reelected ? How do you do it ?
Well , you put him on like a lightweight interview show with Seth Meyers . I mean , I'm pretty sure Seth Meyers is still on SNL . That's just how I envision the guy .
Right .
He's such a lightweight Right they don't have a real interview for them .
Well , no , he's a flag waiver for him , there's no doubt , of course , and so they put him on .
This is this is going to be the real hard hitting .
Right .
Real hard hitting interview with Seth Meyers .
Right , and so in this one I think you're talking about the clip we talked about Trump , right .
Yes , ok , and he just lies .
Right , so OK . So what he tries to do to Trump is he they're trying to muddy the waters on the . Trump makes all these mistakes too . They're trying to play that game , mm , hmm . And so I think Biden jumps on on this clip . This is when he talks about Trump , and we'll talk about what he's referring to here in a second , but here's Biden on Seth Meyers .
Well , a couple of things . Number one you got to take a look at the other guy . He's about as old as I am , but he can't remember his wife's name . Yeah , and number one .
Number two OK , it's about how old you are .
Yeah , not true .
OK , yeah , so he's taking something . That isn't true . He's just lying . So what we're talking about here is you go back to last weekend , when Trump was at CPAC , which is a conservative gathering , and Trump was referring to someone in the audience and he referred to someone in the audience .
He first referred to Melania and then he referred to someone in the audience , and so we'll let you hear that first .
My wife are great first lady . She was a great first people Love her . People love her . Oh , look at that . Wow , mercedes , that's pretty good Mercedes .
Mercedes , that's pretty good , right , ok , he says Mercedes , that's pretty good , and he's pointing to someone in the crowd yeah , Because Mercedes is sitting in the front . Mercedes , is Mercedes Schlapp who's actually running the event , right ? Ok , melania is not there . Trump knows she's not there .
He knows who his wife is .
Yeah , he knows who his wife is . Give me a break . Biden's lying . He knows this isn't true . I was turned on to this by Keith Olbermann , who hates Donald Trump with a passion of 10,000 white hot sons . It was like , wait , don't stick this on Trump because you sound stupid , because he was talking about Mercedes Schlapp , who runs CPAC .
But don't worry , Biden's going to sound stupid . On Seth Meyers , it doesn't matter . Well , I mean it just shows you .
It's just sad . We're just sitting here watching this , just going , and I got to be honest with you . Like you see Trump ripping into Biden because he can't find out how to leave the stage , Right , you know stuff like that and then you see Biden do this and you just go . Is this , what are we doing ? What are we doing ?
Yeah , yeah , like we're not talking about policy . By the way , we didn't bring up maybe you're bringing it up later but the fact that these got both of them are going to the border .
Yeah , yeah , we don't have that .
Yeah , ok , they're both going to the border , I think tomorrow OK .
Or which would be today , today , yeah .
Leap day , by the way .
The leap day .
The leap day .
So that way Biden doesn't have to take responsibility for four more years . So you can just be like what are you talking about ? No , I'm just saying I just always saw one night .
Except that he's going to Brownsville , right .
Whether there's nobody coming through .
Nobody's coming through , and then Trump's actually going to go over to Eagle Pass , eagle Pass right .
Everybody's coming through Right .
So if you're actually wanting to catch this on camera . You go to Eagle Pass right Unbelievable .
I mean everybody knows that . So anyway , sorry , ok , so no , no , no , no , no you're right , and so I want to get quickly do some Michigan stuff and then we'll get out of here . Yeah , so the Michigan results we looked . Trump took out Nikki Haley 68% of the vote . Nikki got about 26% of the votes .
It's a solid win for Trump , but Nikki obviously still has some significant support there , and so we'll get to . We'll end with some things on Nikki here in a second .
But then the interesting thing is people are melting down on the Democratic side about what happened there , and so you know , talking about uncommitted , there was an uncommitted campaign in Michigan , meaning there was a campaign to get people to vote uncommitted , going after Biden basically saying on the left saying , hey look , vote uncommitted to show Biden you're mad
about Israel , that the United States is too supportive of Israel and we shouldn't support Israel the way we are . Well , they were expecting to get about 10,000 votes for uncommitted . Okay , here's a look at the results and what they got from uncommitted okay , you got 623,000 for Biden . Uncommitted got 100,000 votes .
And , by the way , in Dearborn Michigan which there's a large Muslim population in Dearborn Michigan and they actually voted for uncommitted more than Biden Uncommitted beat Biden and Dearborn . Okay , to give you an idea . So that shows you .
Biden suddenly looks at this and is now trying to do the impossible , which is placate some people in his base not most of his base .
Most of his base is pro support for Israel , by the way , but there's a short , very vocal , small , very vocal minority in the Democratic Party who very much are pro-Palestinian and in some cases , been really , really out there on this , okay .
And so Biden's trying to figure out what to do with this because he's scared , because he's like wait a minute , what if I lose Michigan because of my approach with Israel .
So he's playing a game , and the game is give people on his own side some thought of oh no , we're working on peace , there's gonna be a , there's gonna be a ceasefire , while knowing no , there's not .
No , he has no idea .
So , speaking of our good friend Seth Meyers , here we are again , clip 33 , biden A with Seth Meyers , b eating ice cream and then C talking about Middle East peace .
Yeah , very Ridiculous yeah .
The optics of this are horrendous . Yeah , you're answering questions about Israel and the Palestinians and you're eating ice cream like an eighth grader or eight year old , even Eight year old , yeah , yeah , it's crazy , but anyway . So listen to what he says here .
Well , I hope by the beginning of the weekend I mean the end of the weekend At least my national security advisor tells me that we're close . We're close . It's not done yet . My hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire .
All right , vice President Seth Meyers there checking things out .
Vice President , we're doing very important things by getting ice cream .
He looks like Macron actually from that angle , but so the point . He was talking about a ceasefire , right ? Okay . So he says , yeah , yeah , end of the weekend is what we're thinking about . Okay , by the way , that's news to Hamas and it's news to Israel .
Yeah , they are . Like , what are you talking about ? Old ?
man . Oh , they're like what is happening here Israeli officials puzzled by Biden's optimism , because this isn't about a ceasefire , this is about placating part of his party , so they'll stop eating him up over this whole thing . Okay , and so that part of it is nuts .
And when you start realizing how fiery things are getting on , especially the far left in this issue and those that are pro-Palestinian last night at UC Berkeley there was a protest . A group of Jewish students were getting together to hear someone speak , and these Palestinian protesters aren't gonna have it . You can't do it right . Listen to this story .
This doesn't scare you . I don't know what should . I spoke with one of the Jewish student organizers for last night's event .
She believes that that incident is a culmination of the anti-Semitism she's seen on campus since the October 7th attacks , and she also believes that it's creating a culture of intimidation towards Jewish students .
What they claim to be a quote peaceful protest was them banging on the windows so hard to the point that they shattered the glass .
UC Berkeley student Sharon Knaffelman describing the chaotic scene last night on campus with hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators breaking windows at Zellerbach Hall , where a private event or a private event was held in the city of Zellerbach , where they were trying to get the protest .
All where a private event organized by Jewish student groups was set to take place . And Sharon claims demonstrators became violent towards attendees trying to go inside .
And I get in but behind me a girl is grabbed by the neck and shoved by the crowd .
The person speaking at the event was a former Israeli soldier but due to safety concerns , the university canceled the event , with campus police even escorting attendees through an underground exit to safety .
Think about that . A group of Jewish students gets together to wanna hear someone talk . They come out , break windows , grab people by the neck and these people are forced to head out a tunnel underneath the venue so they aren't assaulted .
Right and they canceled the event , instead of adding more security against the crazies that are the outsiders Like . I don't understand . How have we gotten to this point ? We're now , we're okay with violent protests instead of protecting our freedom to go and hear somebody speak , intimidating students based on their race or their religion ? When did we become this ?
And when are these ? I mean these schools ? I guarantee you , these students are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend this school and now they're walking downstairs through secret canals to be protected .
Because they're Jewish . That anti-Semitism at its worst . I mean , that's what this is .
It's terrible .
And , by the way , Cal , where the protest was . They've come out pretty harsh against it . They're trying to figure out who was part of this and trying to make arrests , which they should .
Which they should . I mean again , these have to be shut down . I swear these are organized events . Like I said this with the Seinfeld situation that we had here in Albuquerque , these are organized events . I really believe that .
I believe that there is an underground type thing , maybe , something , so underground is probably very public and they go after and they find out who's speaking where and this is part of their MO and I just think this is a terrible , terrible situation .
Yeah , no , you're right , and I know this is Cybarth , but I just thought of this because I've read this article recently . It is the 30 year anniversary of Schindler's List . I happened to see Schindler's List on a first date in college . I would not recommend saying that on a first date . Great film , though it should be part of our .
I mean , it should be a piece of our history class to make our students watch this film , because it's so brazen and it really shows you what happens . How did this happen ? How did it get so bad when people thought this would never happen ? And I'm just thinking that film's 30 years old , okay .
I don't know if there's been another Holocaust film to that degree since then , okay , but I'm just saying . They interviewed Steven Spielberg and he says anti-Semitism has always been like and flowing underneath kind of thing , and I wanted to do my part as a director and showing how dangerous something like this can be . And here we are again .
He says and we're dealing with it publicly again .
And it's not underground anymore . I mean not what you see there . But I'll also say that the numbers show that the vast majority of Americans do not fall into the category of what you saw at Cal and LA can kind of focus in on pie graph number one here . We've got some data here which shows exactly where Americans stand .
It says in this conflict do you support Israel more or Hamas more ? Israel gets 82% , hamas gets 18% . Okay , and not only that , but also do you think Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties ? They all scream about genocide , right . Okay , when Israel , I think second to the United States .
Gives more warnings .
Yeah , and only second to the United States in trying to avoid civilian casualties 68% of the people surveyed said that Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties .
And one more little note , the last graph we have here else , thanks , and that is that two and three voters would not only , would only support a ceasefire after Hamas releases all hostages Remember , we still have American hostages being held by Hamas right now and they are removed from power 67% . It's only a ceasefire to release all hostages and Hamas is out .
Right , hamas , that's what I've been hearing . Is that the only point of a ceasefire is when Hamas is done , done , like , done , because they're just going to build themselves back up and do it again , like that is the grand game ?
Right ? No , it says in their charter that the idea of what Hamas is going for here is trying to wipe out Israel as a nation . Now , not all Palestinians fall into that , I get that so . But enough of you know of what Hamas has done that they cannot remain in power . So , anyway , that's where that sits .
It's wild to see , it's discouraging to see in some ways , but then you see numbers like this and you realize most people get it . But when you see enough of this stuff , the open anti-Semitism has to be addressed .
Right ? I really hope so . Well , and we also kind of you know , we've talked a little bit . We kind of were brainstorming last time we were reading some hits about what could Nikki Haley possibly be up to Still in the race , still losing in these primaries against Trump , what's her end game ? Is she going to go on a third party ticket ?
Right , no labels is one of the things that was mentioned . Ari Fleischer mentioned could she be headed to ? No labels ?
Right , no labels . Well , I did speak with some of the people that are working with Nikki Haley and I just wanted to clarify that she has said absolutely under no set of circumstances that she interested in a third party or no labels being those kind of candidates . She is 100% on the Republican side and that is what she's going for . She is really banking .
What she's doing is that she sees there's still about 40% roughly , of Republicans that don't favor Donald Trump , right ? She also is claiming that there's about 70% of Americans who don't want to see another Joe Biden Trump election . So she's in it . I don't think she's going anywhere . I've told you we've kind of argued this back and forth .
I think as long as she continues to build her finances and get her message out there , she's hoping to stay in it until it's over , that's kind of her game plan .
No , and look , I mean , you know , and as she's welcome to do that , I think that I'm glad to hear she isn't going to do no labels . I'm glad to hear that because I think that would be a bad deal , right , but we'll see how it all shakes out .
But I think she's made some interesting points and that the big portion of the country doesn't want to see a rematch , and , but we can see the way this is being dealt with is going to be . You know , I still don't think . I still don't think Biden's going to be the nominate , so we'll have to see how that goes .
And another thing too , that I know this is kind of getting in the weeds and I won't go into major detail , but just these . You know these the RNC considering some resolutions which would end the ability to support any sort of lawyer fees for a candidate , and that's being put out there on the table right now .
Obviously , if that resolution was to pass , that would that could potentially impact somebody like Donald Trump right the . RNC has helped him in his campaign and his legal fees in the past . So I don't know . I don't know if that's going to happen or not , but that got brought up back up in the news again this past week as well .
So OK , we'll see All right . Last video of the day video .
This is fine .
Go ahead .
Okay , it's not . It's actually not fine , it's my idea of total torture . Because Mark , as I've said on the air a million times , he's an excellent skier , like a black diamond , double diamond , daria kind of skier .
Double , that's double dog dare Double diamond .
You are . You're a double diamond dog , dare ? Okay , just putting it out there . Okay , your wife is a . Let's see if I can barely get down a Green Hill Right On my best day when it's perfectly sunny , there's no wind , it's not cold , I have perfect conditions and it's been great . Okay , yeah , so in the video I saw where this poor guy he's .
It's clearly it's . You know , it's after skiing . People get together on the deck , they're having a beer to celebrate the day , yeah , and then they realize oh wait , there's one guy , there's a little straggler who's coming out at the end . This would be like my idea of torture , right here they're . Go ahead and watch a little bit of this audio .
You can see him coming down and he's like doing the , he's doing the pizza .
Yeah , which is every turn he makes they cheer for him .
Yeah , they're cheering him on , I feel like . I mean , there's times here and if you're watching this you'll see he almost kind of falls over a couple times .
That's a huge crowd . He's a massive crowd .
They're all filming him or her . I don't know if it's a guy overall .
