Afghanistan Withdrawal NOT Orderly & Peaceful, plus Crime In America & SCOTUS On Trans Athletes

We've talked before in this podcast about how this White House treats national security and foreign policy as public relations. It's all a communications effort. So they put out this this twelve page white paper that is just designed to say everything's perfect, everything's fine, and they're hoping that the media will will bleat like sheep and go along with that. The disaster, the debacle of Biden's surrender to the Taliban

and withdrawal from Afghanistan will be forgotten. I think that's disrespectful to the thirteen servicemen and women who were murdered there. I think it's disrespectful to the Afghans we left behind who were tortured, whose lives, who may well have been murdered as well. I think it's disrespectful to all of those who who shed blood, who lost limbs fighting in Afghanistan that this administration cares so little about their sacrifice. They're not even bothering to worry about what went wrong.

You and I talked about this on a previous podcast not that long ago, that one of the individuals on the ground there that was trying to save lives told his story finally that he believed he had the suicide bomber and his sites. Yes, there was no chain of command, there was no orders allowed, basically for them to take out this perspective suicide bomber and then all of a sudden he and he's blown up and survived it. Many

others did not, that you just mentioned. But for them to come out with a white paper, and white paper is supposed to be non political, serious documents, This was political propaganda at its best. So let me say that the podcast we did several weeks ago, if you didn't listen to it, let me encourage you to go back and listen to it, because it really is. It's a powerful This young marine testified before the House of Representatives and he told his story. He told the story that

the suicide bomber. They didn't tell about who he was, and they spotted him, and they had him in their sights, and they could have taken him out. They could have taken him out before he committed the suicide bombing, and the political higher ups in the Biden administration wouldn't allow them to do so. And the result was thirteen servicemen and women were murdered, and this young marine was horrendously injured.

He wasn't killed, but he told his story. And I got to say, the reason I would encourage you to go back and listen to that podcast is because the media won't cover it. They won't cover it at all. Their facts that don't exist, because if you listen, in that pod, we played almost the entirety of his congressional testimony because it was so powerful, and it's a story that, in any sane world, should be the lead story on

the six o'clock news. And yet when we have journalists that refused to tell the truth, refused to cover news, refused to cover facts, that view their job as propagandists

for the White House, it's terrible. And look here you've got John Kirby, the the appointed spokesperson, just just standing up, and he was offended that the media even questioned him and this administration's response in Afghannison, he got animated, like not animated that Americans died and that he was frustrated about what happened with the talban animate that how dare you think we didn't do this perfectly take a look, and so we're all this talk of chaos. I just

didn't see it, not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation, there was an aircraft taking off full of people Americans in afghansa lake every forty eight minutes, and not one single mission was missed. So I'm sorry, I just won't buy the whole argument of chaos. He's right,

they were taking off. They were taking off with Americans and other people that were trying to clamor and some that lost their lives hanging on trying to be stowaways on an airplane and let's be clear, hanging onto the wheels as the planes were taking off. He said he didn't see it. He didn't see the chaos. Look, that's offensive. I gotta tell you, if if it were my spouse, my brother, my sister who died in that suicide bombing, listening to that, I'm going to speak nicely that individual

saying I didn't see any chaos. Say that to the thirteen coffins that came back with American flags on them. He didn't see any any chaos. Say that to the Afghan interpreters who risk their lives to help us, only to be abandoned by these clowns, to be tortured to death by the Taliban. He didn't see any chaos. Well, what about abandoning the Bogram Airfield, a secure military airfield that we spent billions building and abandoning it before the

evacuation happened. For him to say he didn't see any chaos, I believe him, But that's because he's deliberately looking away. They don't want They're like the monkeys, see no evil here, no evil. Let me tell you something that's evil because their screw up cost people lives. And if he didn't

see any chaos, it's only because he refused to look. Historically, white papers have usually been serious documents, not propaganda like this, And when they have tried to use these kind of big synopsis of historic events that have gone wrong for political reasons, usually the media will throw down on that they're not doing it this time. Is that how far we've lost the media? In your opinion, anyone that sees us, and there are a few, there were a few that

did call them out on this. But by not calling them out, aren't you basically going along with a narrative because there's something I canna say. Okay, I'm not gonna report on it. I'll just be silent. That'll be my way of protesting it. Look, there is a theme across

the board of this administration, in this White House. They lie for a living, whether it's John Kirby lying about Afghanistan, whether it is Mayorchas lying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, whether it's Karen Jean Pierre standing up and lying over and over and over again. People aren't just walking across the border. She says, well, that's a lie.

Yes they are. They are today. The amazing thing about that lie of hers, it is a lie every day of the year, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Because there has not been a day when Joe Biden was president when there were not people walking across the border. And the brazenness of it, he can stand up and say I didn't see any chaos because he knows that the number of journalists remaining in America is vanishingly small.

That they are that they might as well have pom poms and mini skirts and be chanting, go Biden, because that's where they are. Look look at look at the next thing, Kirby said. Nobody's saying that everything was perfect. But there was a lot that went right, and a lot of Afghans are now living better lives in this country and other countries around the world because of the sacrifices in the work of so many American government officials. So yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. Peter,

he's mad, how dare you questioned us? And he's proud. There's a lot to be proud of. Really, you want to tell those widows that how proud you are of the incompetence of this administration. And by the way, at the time this happened, everybody knew it was incompetent. I

remember Afghanistan. When the disaster happened, this White House was caught flat footed because up until that point the press had just been sharing them on and it was the first criticism they got because it was so bad people turn on the TV and saw human beings clinging to the wheels of planes as they took off. They saw people that nobody could defend it at the time. See what's really shameless about this also is this is revisionist history. This is trying to go back and say, don't believe

your lying eyes when you saw it happen. I'm telling you what the official government story is. He's proud of the job they did. You know what, it's shocking. Nobody lost their job. Secretary Defense wasn't fired, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs wasn't fired. John Kirby wasn't fired. John Kirby's like Baghdad. Bobby stands up there and just spends no chaos. Everything great. You should be proud. Nobody lost

their job. The commanding officer that refused to give the order take out the suicide bomber before he murders those servicemen and women. As far as we know, that commanding officer didn't lose his or her job. Zero accountability, and the Biden White House doesn't want any accountability. This white paper is designed to cover up and to tell on alternate history. Everything's fine. You know, it's reminiscent of during the Antifa in Black Lives Matter riots, fiery but mostly

peaceful protest. That's there as buildings are burning behind reporters, mostly peaceful out here as a building's burning behind them. That is what John Kirby is doing, and he thinks the American people are either stupid or lazy. I want to play another clip of Kirby, but before you get that, I want to talk to you real quick about our friends in Augusta Precious Metals.

of Kirby because he wasn't backing down. I got to respect the plan. Go in there, defend at all costs. Do not accept any type of defeat on anything. Here's another example, the arrogance. Once you turn it over, it's just like what we're doing in Ukraine. We give Ukrane partillery ammunition, Stinger anti air missiles, Javelin anti It's their stuff at that point, not the Americans. It's their stuff.

That stuff belonged to the Afghans. And so this idea of this argument is just ludicrous that we left millions of dollars of stuff in Afghanistan. We didn't. We turned it over as the previous administration would have done too, because part of their thinking was they were gonna have to turn this material over. It was turned over appropriately and carefully and deliberately with the Afghan National Security Defense Forces.

It wasn't done carefully. I think we can agree on that it wasn't done appropriately in an orderly fashion the way that he described it, and it wasn't turned over to the Afghan forces the way he implied, because we saw this stuff pop into the hands of actual terrorists instantly on social media. Yeah, so he left out kind of the most important context. It's true that we gave the Afghan meloy weapons to kill the Taliban. What the Biden administration screwed up and did is they let all

those weapons fall in the hands of the Taliban. So literally we gave them these weapons to shoot the terrorists. Now the terrorists have the weapons that were given to shoot the terrorists. And by the way, among other things, what all has been lost? So the Taliban are believed to control more than two thousand armored vehicles, including US humbs, up to forty aircrafts potentially including Blackhawks and Scout attack

helicopters and Scan Eagle military drones. Between two thousand and two and twenty seventeen, the United States gave the Afghan military an estimated twenty eight billion dollars in weapons, including guns, rockets,

night vision goggles, and small drones for intelligence gathering. Between two thousand and three and twenty sixteen, the United States provided a forces with two hundred and eight aircraft, and since two thousand and three, the United States has provided Afghan forces with at least six hundred thousand infantry weapons, including M sixteens, including one hundred and sixty two thousand pieces of communication equipment, and including over sixteen thousand night

vision goggles and the night vision goggles. When you talk to Special Forces troops that have been deployed there, the night vision goggles actually concerned them, maybe more than anything else, because one of the great advantages our military had in dealing with the terrorists is that we had the ability to see at night and to wage warfare at night, and the terrorists couldn't see us. Now, thanks to these guys in competence, the terrorists are equipped like a US

military battalion. And for him to claim, well, gosh it was, there's no the weapons were given to kill them. These are Taliban terrorists. And the sad thing is, we know Americans are going to lose their lives with those M sixteens with those weapons, with those night vision goggles. We know that Americans will die, and this administration will wipe their hands and say there was no chaos. It was their equipment, and they're proud of handing billions of dollars

of military weapons over to the Taliban. Does Kirby remember September eleventh? Does he remember the planes flying into the World Trade Center? As he remember the plane flying into the Pentagon. These are the same bastards that now have billions of dollars of US military equipment. Those guys killed over three thousand lives with a couple of box cutters. Now they've got armored vehicles and M sixteens and black helicopters. To say this is a catastrophic screw up is an understatement. Oh,

he says it was organized. Though I agree it was an organized screw up. It could not have been screwed up more if they tried and look part of the reason I mentioned before Bagram Airfield. Listen, at some point we were going to pull out of Afghanistan. I think it made sense. I'm not a believer in forever wars. I'm not a believer in staying there forever but when you are doing a draw down, it makes sense to have a serious, competent plan for drawing down. Number one,

to get all the Americans out. Number two, to get your allies, the Afghans who risked their lives out. Number three, to vet the Afghans who are coming, to make sure you're not bringing terrorists. What was amazing about what Biden did is it was utter chaos on a couple of fronts. Number One, the White House set an arbitrary political debt line. They said, okay, troops must be drawn down to twenty five hundred fewer. And their goal was they wanted to

be out on the anniversary of September eleven. There was a political deadline. It was set by the White House. We want to trumpet this political objective. Look, we got out of this war, so we're sitting the date nine to eleven so we can have a big victory. You know, mission accomplished. This is George W. Bush landing on the

aircraft carrier. This is Joe Biden saying mission accomplished. And listen, the military told told the White House we can't secure Bogram air Field and also the embassy and the airport in cobble, and the White House essentially said, we don't care. We've set a goal. It's a political goal, never mind the military problems. And so they forced the military to

abandon Bogram air Field. Now, the problem is, if you're going to do a withdrawal, you want to do it from a secure airfield where people can't come in with suicide bombers and kill people. When they abandoned Bogram and handed it to the Taliban, they were forced to do their withdrawal from a crowded commercial airport in the middle of a dense urban environment that didn't have a secure perimeter.

They had a secure airport, they gave it away. And their withdrawal Afghans was both over inclusive and under inclusive. It was under inclusive and that they left a great many people behind who had risked their lives to help the American military, and it is grotesquely immoral that we know that at least some of those have been tortured and perhaps even murdered by the Taliban as a result

of their helping America. But it was also over inclusive, and that at the end it seemed like they were just grabbing up anyone who showed up, and so we don't know how many terrorists the Biden administration flew to America. What we do know is that included among those that

they evacuated were adult men with child brides. Because look, you'd have a family that was desperate to get their little girl out of Afghanistan, and so they'd take a little girl, a young ten eleven, twelve year old girl, and hand that child over to a grown ass man and say, have raised your wife? And you as com thinking about this, Yes, I want to play this because this is that moment where again, this administration doesn't want

to admit this happened. Across the entire government, everyone involved in the evacuation effort, whether it's at a transit point in one of the countries that we negotiated with, whether it's here in the United States at Dulles or Philadelphia or the military bases, we have all of our officers at extreme vigilance to look for and to deal with any cases or concerns that he's the urgent guidance and how many child hides have you seen? I don't know

the specific guidance are referring to. I'm happy to look to look at it. So is there not urgency to discover? It was absolute. We could detect and deal with have any cases, And there've been, to my knowledge, a limited number of cases where we have separated people because we were concerned that they were how they are the cases I'm aware of a handful. So look you see the

Secretary of State blithely unconcerned a handful. The guidance I was describing was guidance the Biden administration put out to personnel on the ground because they were getting planes landing from Afghanistan with adult men and little girls. The little girls, they were saying, where their wives and these little girls were being sexually assaulted and raped by grown men, and the Biden administration was facilitating child sexual salt and child brides.

This guidance was within the Biden administration. Say wait a second, we got a problem. We're putting people on planes and not moms of daughters, dudes with little girls. Yes, that should be read flag number one. Yes. So at the hearing he hadn't read the guidance. I had the guidance

in front of me, I'd read it. But beyond that, I even asked him, how many how many of you found listen if you're secretary of state and you just finish human trafficking little girls into the country that are being sexually assaulted by grown men, and you're responsible, you know what a competence competent secretary of state would say. Here's exactly how many we found. Here's what's happened to them. They're going to jail. Here are the safeguards we're putting

in place to protect against it. But all of this is intertwined. Look, people ask me, what does Why is the Biden administration so bad at this stuff? Why are they so incompetent. Part of the reason they're so bad, Part of the reason Afghanistan was such a mess is because they live in an environment where they don't expect

the press to ever ask a hard question. So Tony Blankett doesn't think anyone's going to ask him about the child brides that he's responsible for trafficking into him and he had to worry about a sixteen minutes piece on it and the disaster of what has happened. They know they've got him in their back pocket it and it

produces incredibly poor execution. By the way, these are the same people who you know, were incredibly condescending and arrogant during the Trump administration, and then when they came in, one of their favorite lines was the adults are back in charge. Well, these adults don't know what the hell they're doing. And as much as John Kirby tells you

there is no chaos, he's proud of what happened. Anyone who was awake during the disaster of the surrender to the Taliban and the withdrawing Afghanistan knows what an utter catastrophe it is. And I gotta say, it's not just you and me. We've been unloading on the press. But but but here's a little bit of a man bites dog. Sometimes even the press can't stand it. Watch this CBS

News calling out John Kirby's garbage. But this is they called the International Security Advice that takes Sullivan said they were going to do a hot wash, which is a fancy bureaucratic turn for a deep dive into what went wrong. This twelve phaves document is a whitewash. There is. It is narrative, it is light on specifics, it's devoid of citations, and it is in essence their version of events. I gotta say it's almost like he knows so much about

what really happened. And I've that he's insulted personally, like, how dare you expect me to walk out here and carry this pail of garbage with me to the American people. I deserve more respect than that. And I'm glad to see some journalists actually coming around to this. Look good

for him for being angry, because that was genuine. Yeah, he was pissed at having read a document that was utterly divorced from reality, that that was crafted not by national security experts trying to examine how did we screw this up? What did we do wrong? Who's at fault? Why didn't we give the order to take out the suicide bomber before he murdered thirteen servicemen and women? It's none of that fat white paper is a pr document. It is a political spin document. It is talking points

for the obedient mandarins in the press to echo. We should be proud of the job Joe Biden did in Afghanistan. It was there was no chaos at all. It was it was perfect. Yeah, and at least on CBS News. And I'll say that the anchor who's there when he says it was a whitewash. She laughs out loud. Yeah good on CBS News For a moment, journalism erupted. I hope it's contagious that we actually have others willing to do their job. I want to get to another issue,

and that's crime in America. There was a very famous individual who was brutally murdered, stabbed to death in San Francisco and squeaked the founder of cash app. But first, I want to tell you about our friends over at Chalk cchoq dot com.

Lawrie Lightfoot, for example, lost in Chicago. A lot of people thought that was kind of the end of the road for the insanity of not prosecuting criminals, being weak on crimes, giving this, you know, bail reform and everything else that's happened. We're seeing some pushback in place like New York and Baltimore. Then all of a sudden they elect an actual communist in Chicago, head scratcher there. You'll

look at San Francisco. They've got major problems with crime, and now you see this brutal stabbing that's so bad that we can't even show you the video that's come out here. I just don't think it's appropriate of a man who has said some things about San Francisco. He doesn't feel safe there. He'd actually moved, he came back

for a meating. He's in the street, gets gets stabbed there to death in San Francisco, and yet Democrats are still standing by these these these initiatives of bail reform, prison reform and not and not actually getting tough on crime. More than five hundred police officers are missing in San Francisco right now, and people there are leaving in droves and they're sick and tired of living in this insanity. Yeah, look what happened here. Bob Lee, who was a was

the founder of cash app. He was a tech gazillionaire, very wealthy man, very successful man. He had left San Francisco. He had left San Francisco because of the out of control crime and he was back in San Francisco for a work meeting and on the street he was stabbed. He was stabbed multiple times in the chest on the street. In he was in San Francisco's Rincon Hill neighborhood, which is where Nancy Pelosi lives. He was not in the hood, yeah, he was not. This is where rich people gather and

he stabbed multiple times. They're security security video of it, and yeah, you and I debated before the show do we air the security video. We both watched it. We decided not to air it. Because it's really troubling. It is footage of this man losing his life. It is

footage of him staggering after he's been stabbed. The footage shows him trying to flag down passing cars, and passing cars ignore him, and probably because they're thinking about safe their own Yeah, yeah, they may be afraid for their own lives. They see someone staggering towards them. Crime is so bad, they may they may not want to be

injured themselves, but they drive off. And he staggers to the window at the front of a building and he collapses, and he had called nine one one, and the officers arrived, but by the time they got there, it wasn't in time to save him. And a kitchen knife with a four inch blade was found in the parking lot across the street. But they haven't caught anyone. There haven't been any arrest so far this year, and we're not very far into this year. We're in April. They've already been

thirty nine murders in the city. Thirty nine murders already, and the San Francisco Police Department right now has a shortage of five hundred and forty one officers totally insane number when you think about the population, the size of

San Francisco, your five hundred plus officers. Down Look, it is the policies of the left, attacking and demonizing police officers, trying to defund police officers, trying to abolish the police, combined with putting into place George Soros, DA's like Alvin Bragg in New York, who release violent criminals onto the street, who don't prosecut cute criminals on the front end, and when they do get in they let him go. That's

what produces this chaos. You know, I've got a friend of mine who used to live in Northern California, lived in Palo Alto. He's been very successful. He's in the tech business. And he moved from Palo Alto down to Miami. And he and I had breakfast a while back, and he was telling me that he said friends of his from Palo Alto come down to Miami to visit him, and he'll take him out to dinner. And you know,

he drives a very nice, very fancy sports car. You'd like his car, and he'll drive out to dinner and park it on the street. And he said his friends from Northern California freak out. They're like, what are you doing? Yeah, And what he said was in northern California, if you park a car on the street, even in a nice, nice neighborhood, that car is gonna get broken into, it's gonna get keyed, it's gonna get stolen, it's gonna get vandalized. And what an amazing statement that just being able to

park your car. He is considered a flex Like his friends would freak out, how could you park your car? And he's like, look, I live in America, like normal people can park their car and not have to worry. It is tragic what is happening. And I think a lot of the residents in these cities believe it can't get any better. In New York, a lot of the

residents there just just few. That's part of life. Look in DC that this man Bobbly was stabbed to death, by the way, at least one of the stories, I think it was the AP story said tech entrepreneur died in San Francisco. Died, not murdered, not stabbed to death, died because the press is not actually reporting the facts because the facts would not be convenient for their political narrative. Look last week in DC, a staffer for Rand Paul was stabbed on the street multiple times. It's like five

o'clock in the afternoon, in a busy DC street. He gets stabbed. When you have these left wing mayors, district attorneys, police chiefs, when they undermine the cops and they let violent criminals go, the results are horrific. And I'll tell you this is occurring at the same time. So the US Sentencing Commission has just proposed to allow district judges broad discretion to grant what's called compassionate release for prisoners

who haven't served their full sentences. Under federal law, when you're convicted of a federal crime, you get a sentence, a sentence under what's called the sentencing guidelines that were passed Congress passed him into law to provide uniformity and predictability so that people who committed the same crimes would serve similar sentences. That there wasn't there had been mass of disparities. If you got lucky and got a soft

on crime judge, they'd let you go. If you got a really tough on crime judge, they'd lock you up. So the sentencing Guidelines were passed to give some consistency, uniformity, predictability. Well, Joe Biden has managed to appoint new people to the Sentencing Commission, and they just proposed taking the compassionate release provision, which was designed to be really narrow. Someone has say, give an example of where that would have been used.

Compassionate release. Someone has cancer and they're about to die and say, okay, all right, we'll let you go for the last couple of months of your live life so you can be outside of prison with your family, with your family. You know, circumstances that are narrow and exigent.

But under these revisions, it's opening the door. Look, Joe Biden has been filling the courts with soft on crime, left wing activists, with criminal defense attorneys, with people who worked as George Soros district attorneys, with people who have been advocates of abolishing the police. They're becoming federal judges. And with this change in the Sentencing Commission, you're going to see these Biden radicals teaming up with the Obama radicals that are already on the court releasing more and

more violent criminals. And I gotta say, Ben, look, in the normal world of political back and forth. There are things conservatives and liberals can disagree on, all right, high taxes, low taxes. You and I both like low taxes. I understand people that like higher taxes, like reasonable people can disagree on that. You know, question like abortion. Abortion is

a difficult issue. I'm pro life, your pro life, but but there are many people who are genuinely and passionately pro choice, and reasonable people can can wrestle with that issue. I genuinely don't understand these leftists that see a murderer and think the answer here has let the murderer go. I don't get the reasoning. I don't know how to articulate the argument how society is better, how anyone is better off letting violent criminals go out on the streets.

And yet that's what these radicals are doing, and it's what the Biden administration keeps leaning in further and further on last question on this, and I think that the shock for me seems to be how many cities are dealing with violent, high crime numbers, and yet when their elections come up and they have a chance to change course,

they don't do it. I mentioned Chicago earlier. My hometown of Memphis Tennessee out of control violent crime right now, carjackings through the roof, rape through the roof, forty five cars are still in every twenty four hours right now in my home town. And this has become an actress DA that came in YEP and has said we're gonna let them all go all the time. They have prison reform, bail reform. They had a guy that was accused murder the other day that got out on no bail because

they was poor. Yeah, and you see this and you think, all right, well, surely that at some point they're gonna be voted out. And then you see Chicago, they get rid of Lightfoot, they put in someone that is even more radical. Why is that happening? And are we gonna just lose these cities forever? Because people that have the means to get out, this is my theory, are getting out as fast as they can, regardless of the Republican

or Democrat. If you're saying and you have the means, you run as fast as you can for safety for you, your kids, your grandkids, and then they are just activists left they get decide how this is going to go for the rest of their lives with all this chaos. Look, if you want to understand the pattern of the lawless left, if you want to understand the George Soros prosecutors. And by the way, let me say something Folks online say when you refer to a George Soros prosecutor that you're

an anti Semitic because George Soros is Jewish? How dare you blame him? Look, there's nothing to do with the fact that he's Jewish. What it has to do with is he spends hens of millions of dollars electing district attorneys who come into office promising to let violent criminals go. And part of the way the Marxists operate is when you point out what they're doing, they scream racist at

you for daring to point out what he's doing. I don't know if we had George Soros as a guest on this show, I don't know how he would defend that. I legitimately do not understand what his reasoning is. That he thinks the world would be better if we let murderers and rapists go to commit more murders and more rapes. I don't My mind doesn't comprehend that logic. If you want to know more though you ought to buy my

latest book, Justice Corrupted. Justice Corrupted explains in length. There's an entire chapter on the George Soros DA's there's an entire chapter on the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots and how this is deliberate, how it's systematic, and it lays out the fact it's it's not hyperbole, it's not rhetoric, it's not invective. Justice Corrupted lays out the facts. Alvin Bragg, before Alvin Bragg was a household name, he was in your book. He is in the book Justice Corrupted, because

that's who he is. It's what he promised to do to weaponize the legal system. Going after Donald Trump is entirely consistent. There's an entire chapter in Justice Corrupted about the deep state being weaponized to go after Donald Trump. And so this is a consistent pattern. And I got to say, in Chicago, you're right, Lorie Lightfoot number one presided over out of control crime and shootings and horrific misery.

She was also I think, incompetent at it, and so the voters voted her out, and for a moment you thought, wow, maybe there'll be a moment of Chicago a people saying, gosh, I'd like to live in a safer city. And then they elected someone who's a left wing radical who has spent years advocating for defunding and abolishing the police. And I don't know if he's more competent or not than Lorie Lightfoot, but everything he said up to this point is that he is going to hurt the police more,

weaken the police more, and empower the criminals more. And when you elect radical democrats like this, people die, you know, the left, people flee the city, and then there's even more carnage. That the left is fond of the slogan black lives matter, they don't actually believe it, because the consequence of electing left wing radicals who undermine law enforcement

is that more black lives are lost. There will be African American children, there will be women, there will be men murdered in Chicago because of the consistent assault of left wing down Democrats on police officers. And I gotta tell you, as I travel around, You've flown around the country with me quite a bit. Yeah, Inevitably, when I see police officers, I make a point of stopping, of shaking their hands, of saying thank you, thank you for

what you're doing. And I tell them, I say, look, a big part of my job is to have your back. And I talked to cops all over the country. I gotta tell you. The most striking place to fly into a Chicago. I land at Chicago O'Hare Airport. I am with some regularity met by ten, twelve, fifteen uniformed police officers who come, They shake my hand, they give me patches. I've gotten my office patches of the Chicago PD that are displayed in my office because those cops are so

under assault. Joe Biden dirt with the COVID vaccine mandates, was saying, fire half the police in Chicago if they won't get COVID vaccines. The left assault on cops and law enforcement is dangerous. And you want to know why people are stabbed in the streets of San Francisco or Washington, DC. It is because of these policies. They have a very real and a tragic consequence. I want to get to one other subject that's really kind of exploding in this country,

and it's women's sports. How do you protect them? Men masqueradience women also as trans men in women's sports. Before we get to that. Let me tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile.

Lastly, we have seen a lot of arguing and fighting in this country and over men and women's sports. We saw in Australia last week outrage at a man who won a woman's golf tournament made big bucks doing it. We see Kyle is now with these grand debates over men being in women's sports.

And then there was a confusing I say confusing because the headline doesn't really match the facts here ruling from the from the Supreme Court on this issue with women and men's sports and men playing as women. Break this down what the Supreme Court actually said this past week. Well, let's start with the Supreme Court and then we'll talk about the broader issue. So the Supreme Court had before

it a case that came out of West Virginia. West Virginia passed a law that protects girls sports and women's sports, and that says that biological males, people who were born male, can't compete in girls sports. That's a law. It's a similar law that's been passed in many states across the country to protect girls athletics. In this instance, uh there was the family of a twelve year old child who was born biologically male, but who now identifies as a

girl and wants to compete in girls sports. That that family filed a lawsuit arguing that the law West Virginia passed conflicts with either Title nine of federal law, which establishes and protects girls sports, or conflicts with the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution. Now the cases in the fairly early stages. The district court, a federal district court, initially enjoined the laws enforcement, and did so in July

of twenty twenty one. So to enjoy the laws enforcement means the district court issued in order this West Virginia law has no force. In effect, that injunction was in effect for almost eighteen months, almost a year and a half. The state didn't fight the injunction, so they let the law be enjoyed. They didn't fight it any further. While the injunction was in effect, they were in the district court they were battling over the lawsuit. The district court

ultimately ruled for the state of West Virginia. So eject did the plaintiff's claim that the West Virginia law was unconstitutional or contrary to federal law. And it's interesting the judge clearly didn't like ruling that way. The judge wrote that, you know, even if you don't like this law, it's clear under federal law and the Constitution that you can separate boys sports from girls sports and there's not a

legal impediment of doing so. So the District Court rules for the State of West Virginia, the plaintiff appeals, and the Fourth Circuit, the Court of Appeals entered a new injunction in joining the law while the appeal was pending. Court of Appeals didn't issue an opinion, just entered an injunction while the appeal was pending. This is the appeal

of that emergency injunction. So what happened is the State of West Virginia went up to the Supreme Court and said, will you reverse the injunction that the Court of Appeals put in place. The Supreme Court said no. The full Supreme Court didn't issue an opinions. There's no opinion at all. They just denied the application. Two justices Justice Alido joined by Justice Thomas dissent it now. Justice Alido's descent is very short. It's two pages long. I have it right here.

Justice Alido walks through the facts of what I just described, the procedural history of the case. Justice Alido and Justice Thomas say I would grant the state's application, but even Justice Alito and Justice Thomas acknowledge. And I'll read from this dissent quote. It is true that West Virginia allowed the District Court's injunction to go unchallenged for nearly eighteen months before seeking emergency relief from a second identical injunction.

And it is a wise rule in general that a litigant whose claim of urgency is belied by his own conduct should not expect discretionary emergency relief from a court. In other words, a big part of the reason that the Supreme Court did not vacate this injunction is because West Virginia essentially acquiesced to it for a year and a half did nothing for eighteen months. And emergency relief, either granting an injunction or vacating an injunction, is exceptional relief.

It's provided because it's an emergency, and eighteen months later is not an emergency anymore. It is very hard to say it's an emergency when you didn't do anything for eighteen months. And so there's been lots of headlines saying, oh, the Supreme Court said that biological males can compete in girls sports, and they didn't say they didn't address the merits. They might at some point, and I hope that they I hope that they rule in a way that protects

girls sports and follows the law. But in this instance, I think this was a procedural ruling. I wish they'd vacated the injunction and what reverencing. It's just two pages long that the opinion there tells you it is more

of a procedural thing, not a policy. And even Justice Alito and Justice Thomas are acknowledging, hey, wait, there's a real problem here, because they sat and neck we asked, but they went on and said, well, even so, it's a state law and the Court of Appeals didn't write an opinion and we shouldn't enjoin it with no explanation whatsoever.

So look, that has some force. But I wouldn't read this Supreme Court decision as foreshadowing that the Supreme Court seven two is going to rule that that biological males have a right to compete in girls' sports. I don't think they're going to and I don't think that's what this case means. One other thing that happened this week is there's a swimmer, Riley Gaines, who's become very famous and a lot of support from Conservatives and Christians because

she came out. Was one of the very first and women swimming to come out and say it is unfair you're asking me who I'm one of the best swimmers in women's sports, if not the best in certain aspects of women swimming to compete with biological men. When she did this, the world, of course erupted. The Left went after to attack her. She's now doing events at campuses. You and I talked about this before the show. She was going to be doing an event at Sancis in

San Francisco to university there. That event didn't get to happen because the Left started to attack her physically. A man hit her apparently twice. Police had to barricade her in a room as they basically rushed her from the stage. She was held in that room, barricaded with the cops for about an hour, and the student body that was coming after her said some of the most horrific things to her as a woman. And if we wanted to bleep it all out, you wouldn't hear anything but a big,

long bleep. We decided we're gonna let you see this. I wanted to warn and you wanted to as well. If you have kids listening, kids watching, they don't need to see this. But I do think that parents and grandparents you'd understand. This has become what's normal on college campuses if you are a conservative speaker or even a conservative student, or someone standing up for yourselves as an athlete saying I shouldn't have to compete with men when

I'm a woman. So look, that's exactly right. And I'll say a couple of things. Number one, Riley Gaines was a very successful female swimmer competing competing against, among others,

Leah Thomas. Leah Thomas born a biological male, Leah Thomas decided that he was a she, that that that he was a woman, more than halfway through college competing as a man as a male swimmer, and as a male swimmer was thoroughly mediocre, was not winning winning meets regularly, and once Leah became Leah the Woman, Leah Thomas won the NCUBLE A National championship in swimming. Now, there are biological differences between men and women, their biological differences and

strength in body mass. Um, there's a reason why this c These controversies only emerge one way. Um. You know what if if a biological woman wants to compete against men, nobody would care. If someone from the w NBA wants to compete in the NBA, great, that'd be amazing to watch. There's a reason we have a w NBA because there is no woman on the face of the planet who can stop Lebron James there on the planet. But there is a reason there are real and material differences between

the genders. And so Riley Gaines was on campus and and and she's at at San Francisco State University, and she's there to speak and and and there's a violent protest, and she says that she was physically hit twice by a biological man who now claims he's a woman. So you have a man physically assaulting, beating a woman because she dares to say, it's unfair to girls. It's unfair to women to force them to compete against people who are biological males. And this video is right after she

was assaulted. This video is her being pulled out of the room by the police officers. This video is heard being chased by the activists. And I want to underscore for our listeners. You know, Ben and I we actually debated whether or not to air this. The profanity and this is bad. Every other word is an expletive. And look, we try to make this podcast a family podcast that is suitable for listeners of all ages. If we tried to bleep out the profanities, it would be you couldn't

hear anything that would be saying. But I actually think it's important. Look, if you have kids, and it's not approp for the kids to hear, shut off the broadcast at this point. But I think it's important for people to hear this one. And actually for this episode, if you're listening, this is a particularly good episode to go on YouTube. This is one of the three we do each week that's on video. You're going to hear it.

But I need to see the anger in the faces of the intolerant left, and this is now normal on college campus. It is. It is so much worse and so much more powerful to see it. So I'd encourage you for this one. Go on to YouTube. While you're there, subscribe on YouTube, but play this portion in particular, because if you see it, this is where your kids are going to go to school or are going to school. This is where your grandkids are going to go to school or are going to school. And you want to

understand the radical, angry, violent left. What happened to Riley Gaines illustrates it perfectly. Let's let's play it right. Yeah, I'm good, I'm I'm gonna, I'm coming. I'm good and good, trusting, I'm good. Ahead of right, drive right right, you'll try it. You're fucking right, bitch, fucking that you drap right eye of the rights right through. Fie bit fie bits, you're dressing the car in a circle. You're gonna, God help us.

I don't know how the university can watch that and not hold some of those students accountable, and I doubt they will look for all we know, there were administrators there. I mean, this podcast talked about Stanford Law School and how you had an administrator siding with the mobs screaming expletives at a sitting Federal Court of Appeals judge. And mind you, these are students studying to be lawyers who don't know actually how to deal with a judge without

screaming and cursing at them. Look, those students, presumably either they or the her parents are paying the university to teach their kids to get an education. This is what they're being taught. You know, when I watch that video, it's why I encourage people to watch the YouTube of this. When I watch the video, the hate in the eyes of those children, it's hate. Yeah, it's indoctrinated. It is rage. One of the most disturbing moments is a young woman

who screams at Riley Gaines. You crying. So she's just been physically assaulted. I don't know if she was injured. I hope she was not. But the mob, the bloodlust. Look, there's a reason in San Francisco the police officers take her out. Those officers are moving with dispatch because they're concerned for her safety. They're concerned that that mob. If they don't get her out, she didn't have a chance to speak. But if they don't get her out, they're concerned.

Learned that that mob will continue to physically assault her and seriously injure her. Now, it says something about the university that they don't protect the safety of a speaker, that they don't stop the violent mob, that they don't discipline the students, that they don't arrest people engage in violence. The university in all likelihood condones this activity. You know. A week ago, Tucker Carlson had a monologue where he talked about in the wake of the horrific shooting in Nashville.

He talked about the rage of many of the radical activists in the transgender community, the rage that they have to Christians and people of faith, and that part of the essence of faith and Christianity in particular is recognizing that that man is a fallen creature and that we need God's grace, and that God is sovereign, not us.

It's not my will, but it's a higher will. And one of the points Tucker made is the essence of the radical activists proposition is whatever I believe is the truth that that I am God, I can decide, and and it is you know, I just saw this week a movie premiere for the movie Nefarius. Now Nefarius is coming out coming out next week. Um Nefarius was written by my good friend Steve Days, and it's a terrific movie.

And the premiere was in Dallas, um And and it's about a murderer on death row who's getting ready to be excuted and a psychiatrist comes in to interview the murderer to determine whether the murderer is sane, whether he is competent to be executed, and the murderer believes that he is possessed by a demon. And so the entire movie is back and forth between the psychiatrist and the murderer and the demon. And it's it is a Christian movie, but it's not a Christian movie in the sense that

it beats you over the head with a sermon. It's actually it's a it's a thriller. It's it's a horror film and it's powerful. It's very well done. Unfortunately, some Christian movies are not very good. Yeah, this is a good movie and with an amazing performance. Actually, both of the two lead actors are really really good. But one of the exchanges of the demon where he says, look, what did Lucifer say? Lucifer said, I am God, do what thou wilt. That that's the essence of rebellion to

God is do what thou wilt. I thought Tucker's monologue. I actually texted him that night and I said, listen, what you said tonight was really powerful and in today's environment was courageous because that kind of angry mob is becoming the norm. Look, I'm an optimist. I believe in our country, but when I see things like that, I fear for a country. We've got to rediscover sanity and we've got to learn to talk to each other. We've got to do something about this rage, this rage and

hatred that divides this country apart. This is what our kids are being taught on campuses. This is what the Marxist who our professors, the Marxist who are administrate, are teaching our children. And if we don't teach them a better path, we're in serious trouble. Yeah, Center, always a pleasure to chat with you, my friend. Don't forget.
