Mexico Playing the Game w Minor Cartel Arrests & California Defies Trump Executive Order · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We've got some big stories recovering today on the show,
0:03
Speaker 1: including the House Republicans have now on earthed trans surgeries
0:08
Speaker 1: that you're paying for for animals. How much is it
0:12
Speaker 1: costing you. I'll give you those numbers coming up. Also,
0:16
Speaker 1: Mexico thinks they're pretty smart right now because they're playing
0:19
Speaker 1: politics on the cartel and acting like that they're busting
0:23
Speaker 1: the cartel and their drugs. They're running and even quote
0:26
Speaker 1: arresting some people.
0:28
Speaker 2: Why you shouldn't buy.
0:29
Speaker 1: Into this propaganda and the history behind it, I'll have
0:32
Speaker 1: that for you as well. You also may remember that
0:35
Speaker 1: Donald Trump signed a law to protect girls and women's sports.
0:41
Speaker 2: Well, guess what, not.
0:43
Speaker 1: All the leftists are going down without a fight, as
0:46
Speaker 1: a Christian girls basketball team was forced to compete against
0:49
Speaker 1: a dude acting like a chick even after it had
0:53
Speaker 1: been signed, and finally Donald Trump turning on Zelensky calling
0:58
Speaker 1: him a dictator. Why, I'll give you the details as well,
1:01
Speaker 1: but first let's go back to where your money is
1:04
Speaker 1: being spent right now.
1:05
Speaker 2: And this is just one.
1:07
Speaker 1: Of those examples of why dough is so important. The
1:10
Speaker 1: Houseoversite Committee has come out today saying that there was
1:14
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty one million.
1:18
Speaker 2: I didn't say two hundred and forty one.
1:20
Speaker 1: Thousand, I said two hundred and forty one million dollars.
1:26
Speaker 2: I don't even know how you could spend this much,
1:28
Speaker 2: but they did.
1:29
Speaker 1: It on transgendered surgeries and treatments on animals. I thought
1:36
Speaker 1: like liberals were supposed to be against harming animals or
1:40
Speaker 1: testing anything on an animal, right, They're all about the oh,
1:43
Speaker 1: you got to buy cosmetics and everything. It's never been
1:45
Speaker 1: tested on animals. Well, unless it's transgender, then they're like,
1:49
Speaker 1: go ahead and mess them up. Millions of your tax
1:53
Speaker 1: hours were spent on transgendered surgeries and treatments on animals,
1:56
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer confirmed. According to
2:00
Speaker 1: the report, the committee revealed that the two hundred and
2:03
Speaker 1: forty one million in taxpayers dollars were used to study
2:06
Speaker 1: transgendered surgeries and treatments on all different types of animals.
2:10
Speaker 1: What is perhaps more at shocking than that is the
2:13
Speaker 1: former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci,
2:19
Speaker 1: is the one who gave the green light to the
2:22
Speaker 1: bulk of the cruel and unusual experiments that were done
2:26
Speaker 1: on innocent animals.
2:28
Speaker 2: Take a listen to this.
2:30
Speaker 3: Yesterday in an Oversight hearing that I asked Chairman Comer
2:34
Speaker 3: if we could get some therapy dogs up here because
2:38
Speaker 3: of some of the meltdowns that were going on. I
2:40
Speaker 3: had no idea I'd walk into this hearing today and
2:43
Speaker 3: see three beautiful beagle puppies. And I've noticed that my
2:48
Speaker 3: mood's already improved. So thank you guys for bringing them there.
2:52
Speaker 3: I think we should make it mandatory. We also talked
2:56
Speaker 3: about in the Oversight Committee hearing yesterday some of the
3:00
Speaker 3: ridiculous programs and initiatives that need to be cut from
3:03
Speaker 3: our bloated government, and it seems like a lot of
3:05
Speaker 3: these studies are just another example of our senseless, out
3:09
Speaker 3: of control spending by bureaucrats who never really get held accountable.
3:13
Speaker 3: I want to start with you, mister Goodman. You said
3:16
Speaker 3: you have estimated over twenty billion dollars in taxpayer money
3:20
Speaker 3: wasted on ineffective animal research. Is that corrector yes, mister Goodman.
3:26
Speaker 3: Did you also say that two hundred it was your
3:29
Speaker 3: estimation that two hundred and forty two hundred and forty
3:32
Speaker 3: one million dollars was spent for transgender animal testing.
3:37
Speaker 4: Yes, and that's I would say, is the floor not
3:39
Speaker 4: the ceiling, because the information on federal databases is not
3:45
Speaker 4: it is pretty incomplete.
3:46
Speaker 3: So you think we're going to find out that it
3:48
Speaker 3: was much more money than that for yes, transgender animal testing.
3:52
Speaker 4: Yes.
3:54
Speaker 3: Can you describe what exactly the American people's taxpayer dollars
3:58
Speaker 3: were spent on regarding transgender animal testing?
4:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:03
Speaker 4: In a lot of these cases, they're involve mice, rats,
4:07
Speaker 4: monkeys who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone
4:13
Speaker 4: therapies to mimic female to male or male to female
4:17
Speaker 4: gender transitions, gender firming hormone therapies, and then looking at
4:24
Speaker 4: the biological, psychological, and physiological effects of the gender transitions,
4:30
Speaker 4: looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you've transitioned
4:34
Speaker 4: these animals from male to female or female to male,
4:37
Speaker 4: looking at the size of their genitals changing, after you've
4:41
Speaker 4: put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition transition them.
4:47
Speaker 4: And in the case that the chairwoman, the example the
4:51
Speaker 4: chairwoman gave, there was a one point one million dollar
4:53
Speaker 4: grant to give female labrats testosterone to mimic transgender male
5:00
Speaker 4: humans and then overdose them with this party drug to
5:05
Speaker 4: see if animals who were taking female animals taking testosterone
5:10
Speaker 4: were more likely to overdose on the sex party drug
5:13
Speaker 4: than animals who are not taking testosterone.
5:17
Speaker 3: Mister Goodman, are many of these taxpayer funded animal studies
5:20
Speaker 3: shared with the public or is there a significant oversight
5:24
Speaker 3: of this research?
5:26
Speaker 4: You essentially needed a degree in information technology to navigate
5:29
Speaker 4: the federal spending databases to find any of this stuff.
5:33
Speaker 3: So what you found is we're not being very transparent
5:36
Speaker 3: with what we're spending these funds.
5:37
Speaker 4: On, not at all, and it's by design.
5:40
Speaker 3: Did you say that doctor Fauci, in your estimation, had
5:43
Speaker 3: funded close to ninety five percent of these animal research projects.
5:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, in our analysis, doctor Fauci funded about ninety five
5:52
Speaker 4: percent of the change trender animal experiments.
5:55
Speaker 1: Now, if you just break down the amount of money
5:58
Speaker 1: that we're talking about here, real question that you've got
6:01
Speaker 1: to ask, which is is it even possible to even
6:05
Speaker 1: spend this amount of money at the rate they were
6:09
Speaker 1: spending it or was this just a way for people to.
6:13
Speaker 2: Have money funneled to them.
6:15
Speaker 1: Two hundred and forty one million in taxpayers money is
6:18
Speaker 1: just spent on transmitter animal testing, and the guy says
6:21
Speaker 1: that's on the low end, like we're coming in with
6:23
Speaker 1: a low number here. It may be a lot more
6:25
Speaker 1: than that. Fauci agreeing to ninety five percent of this,
6:31
Speaker 1: You got to wonder who was getting paid. Were people
6:36
Speaker 1: just taking money for research that it's in poss I mean,
6:40
Speaker 1: to spend a quarter of a billion dollars on research
6:43
Speaker 1: on transgendered surgeries for rats, Like, I want receipts. I
6:50
Speaker 1: want to see the receipts where this is real, where
6:54
Speaker 1: the money was actually spent and really went to this project.
6:58
Speaker 2: Or is this people people.
7:00
Speaker 1: Just flat out in bezzling money from the federal government,
7:04
Speaker 1: from our tax dollars. The other part is where's the
7:09
Speaker 1: outrage from the left. The left is the one that
7:13
Speaker 1: is obsessed. I mean, you can't you remember a few
7:15
Speaker 1: years ago you couldn't go to a women's cosmetics store
7:20
Speaker 1: without everything being stamped in, like shampoos and conditioners and
7:24
Speaker 1: the list goes on on a makeup all of it
7:27
Speaker 1: like this is you know, no animals were ever tested
7:30
Speaker 1: on in the process of making this, you.
7:33
Speaker 2: Know, YadA, dada, YadA. It was a virtue signal.
7:37
Speaker 1: It was a hardcore virtue signal by the left, over
7:42
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And now we found out
7:46
Speaker 1: they were spending at minimum a quarter of a billion
7:49
Speaker 1: on mutilating animals for their sick and perverted projects of
7:54
Speaker 1: transgendering these animals. Like, let's just haul it what it is.
8:02
Speaker 1: This is animal abuse. This is not anything but mutilation
8:08
Speaker 1: and animal abuse by sick individuals who are led by
8:14
Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci. We don't allow people to treat animals
8:19
Speaker 1: this way in their life.
8:20
Speaker 2: You'll go to jail.
8:22
Speaker 1: But not only were they doing this, they were spending
8:24
Speaker 1: a quarter of a billion dollars. They want us to
8:28
Speaker 1: at least believe in doing this, which is totally insane.
8:34
Speaker 1: I want the receipts. I hope Dode starts asking those questions.
8:39
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they're going to. I want to
8:42
Speaker 1: move to this other important issue, and that is dealing
8:46
Speaker 1: with Mexico. There are headlines that are supposed to excite
8:49
Speaker 1: you right now that are coming out of Mexico that
8:51
Speaker 1: Mexico is like cracking down on drug like Curtel members
8:56
Speaker 1: and they're stopping shipments of drug and drugs into America.
9:00
Speaker 1: Explain to you why I wouldn't be excited about this,
9:02
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't believe half of this.
9:04
Speaker 2: I think this is all cooking the books.
9:06
Speaker 1: Okay, Number one, let me just go back and remind
9:09
Speaker 1: you when Donald Trump announced the tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
9:13
Speaker 1: This is what started all of where we are now.
9:16
Speaker 2: Listen.
9:17
Speaker 5: So we'll be announcing the tariffs on Canada and Mexico
9:22
Speaker 5: for a number of reasons. Number one is the people
9:25
Speaker 5: that have poured into our country so horribly and so much.
9:29
Speaker 5: Number two of the drugs, ventanol and everything else that
9:31
Speaker 5: have come into the country. And number three of the
9:34
Speaker 5: massive subsidies that we're giving to Canada and to Mexico
9:38
Speaker 5: in the form of deficits. And I'll be putting the
9:42
Speaker 5: tariff of twenty five percent on Canada and separately twenty
9:46
Speaker 5: five percent on Mexico.
9:49
Speaker 1: Now, that's how all of this got started. It was
9:52
Speaker 1: all about the initial threat. Mexico couldn't handle the tariff.
9:56
Speaker 1: They knew it, so they said, okay, what do you
9:57
Speaker 1: want from us? Now you fast forward a few days
10:01
Speaker 1: after that, Mexico said, okay.
10:03
Speaker 2: We're going to give you what you want.
10:05
Speaker 1: There was the breaking news that the President Mexico came
10:08
Speaker 1: out and said this floss.
10:10
Speaker 6: Is alert and the breaking news of the day is
10:12
Speaker 6: on tariffs. And we just have word that the Mexican
10:15
Speaker 6: president spoke to Donald Trump and they are going to
10:19
Speaker 6: pause the tariffs on Mexico for one month. And Jackie
10:23
Speaker 6: Heinricht standing by at the White House with more on
10:26
Speaker 6: this development.
10:27
Speaker 7: Hi, Jackie, Good morning, Dana. Yeah, that was a pretty
10:30
Speaker 7: short lived. The President spoke with Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum,
10:34
Speaker 7: the two sides agreeing to pump the brakes on the
10:37
Speaker 7: tariffs and then retaliatory tariffs that Mexico promised for the
10:41
Speaker 7: period of a month while they work out the terms
10:44
Speaker 7: of an agreement. The Mexican President just posted some of
10:46
Speaker 7: the details. Mexico is going to immediately send ten thousand
10:50
Speaker 7: members of the National Guard to prevent drug trafficking from
10:53
Speaker 7: Mexico to the United States, particularly fentanyl.
10:56
Speaker 2: Also, she says the.
10:57
Speaker 7: US is going to work with Mexico to prevent the
11:00
Speaker 7: trafficking of high powered weapons to Mexico. Something that Mexico
11:04
Speaker 7: hit back at when President Trump was threatening these tariffs
11:08
Speaker 7: was they were calling on the US to curb the
11:10
Speaker 7: flow of guns from the US down to the cartels.
11:13
Speaker 2: Scheinbaum says the two.
11:15
Speaker 7: Teams are going to begin working today on two fronts,
11:17
Speaker 7: security and trade, and President Trump posted on truth Social
11:22
Speaker 7: that part of that team is going to include a
11:24
Speaker 7: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, and
11:28
Speaker 7: Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, as well as some representatives
11:31
Speaker 7: from Mexico.
11:33
Speaker 1: Now that is where they said, Okay, let's play game, right.
11:37
Speaker 1: We know we don't want to mess with Trump, so
11:39
Speaker 1: we're going to do this. We'll send you the ten
11:41
Speaker 1: thousand troops. Let's go back to the baseline here. Mexico
11:47
Speaker 1: is a failed state. That is one of the things
11:50
Speaker 1: that I really really want to make sure that you understand.
11:54
Speaker 2: Mexico is a failed state.
11:58
Speaker 1: They Mexico is straight up run by the cartels. The
12:04
Speaker 1: president there is nothing but what the cartel.
12:09
Speaker 2: Allows her to be. She has bought and paid for.
12:13
Speaker 1: She is not going to tell the cartells what she
12:16
Speaker 1: is or is not going to do like she's not
12:19
Speaker 1: going to dictate they are dictating to her. The entire
12:23
Speaker 1: country is a failed state. Number one, So what we're
12:27
Speaker 1: witnessing is basically fake headlines. I'll give you an example
12:32
Speaker 1: there was a headline this week that Mexican government like
12:35
Speaker 1: busted a bunch of drugs that were headed towards America,
12:39
Speaker 1: and we were supposed to be really excited about this.
12:43
Speaker 1: This is the oldest cartel corrupt government play that's in
12:48
Speaker 1: the books, and they've been doing this from i mean
12:54
Speaker 1: decades ago, when the cartels were running drugs and the
13:00
Speaker 1: government was under pressure to do something. You can go
13:02
Speaker 1: back to Ronald Reagan and say no to drugs and
13:05
Speaker 1: the war on drugs. What the cartails did is they
13:08
Speaker 1: would give up basically drugs to purposely be busted, and
13:14
Speaker 1: then they would have these oh, we busted this lab here,
13:17
Speaker 1: or we busted this massive shipment here. What we found afterwards,
13:21
Speaker 1: actually some of those drugs weren't even real drugs. They
13:23
Speaker 1: were like fake drugs, and then they would get the
13:26
Speaker 1: headline right in Mexico, Big c we're cooperating with America,
13:30
Speaker 1: we're cooperating with the Reagan administration.
13:32
Speaker 2: We're all in on the war on drugs. And all
13:34
Speaker 2: of this was set up for the TVs.
13:37
Speaker 1: It was so they could say, hey, every Thursday, you
13:39
Speaker 1: guys can have a big bust and you can celebrate.
13:42
Speaker 1: We'll throw it on TV and then Monday, Tuesday and
13:44
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We can keep shipping
13:48
Speaker 1: our drugs, but we'll give you a shipment here and
13:51
Speaker 1: there that will basically fake so that you guys can
13:54
Speaker 1: have these fake victories all for the cameras. And it
13:57
Speaker 1: worked by the way, it worked in the eighties, they
14:00
Speaker 1: worked in the nineties, it worked in the early two thousands.
14:03
Speaker 2: So when you see these headlines.
14:05
Speaker 1: Now that like Mexico is you know, really having a
14:08
Speaker 1: you know, a day, and they're and they're they're really
14:10
Speaker 1: helping us crack down.
14:12
Speaker 2: Like number one, it's propaganda. Do not believe it.
14:15
Speaker 1: The government is straight up run by the cartels. The
14:21
Speaker 1: president is controlled by the cartels in Mexico. And anyone
14:27
Speaker 1: that is sitting there telling you that somehow we're fixing
14:30
Speaker 1: all of these things that I'm sorry, they're straight up
14:34
Speaker 1: lying to you. Nothing has been fixed in the last
14:37
Speaker 1: week or two or three by Mexico. Did they send
14:41
Speaker 1: the troops, Yes, Why did they do that because they
14:44
Speaker 1: knew the tariff was worse than them offering up ten
14:48
Speaker 1: thousand troops. Now, I do believe they're helping us a
14:51
Speaker 1: little bit at the border when it comes to human trafficking,
14:54
Speaker 1: because they know that's the number one issue and they
14:56
Speaker 1: want to make sure they've got ways for the drugs
14:58
Speaker 1: are still flow? Are they still doing that? You better
15:01
Speaker 1: believe it. They are absolutely still doing that. And anyone
15:05
Speaker 1: that tells you otherwise is straight up lying to you. Okay,
15:08
Speaker 1: So understand there's a lot, I mean a lot of
15:14
Speaker 1: propaganda here. There's a second part of this that they're
15:18
Speaker 1: doing right now with this propaganda, and I'm going to
15:20
Speaker 1: read this headline for you, says. Mexico hypes up minor
15:24
Speaker 1: cartel related arrests as Trump highlights their inaction on drug corruption.
15:29
Speaker 1: That means Donald Trump's not buying it either. Mexico's government
15:32
Speaker 1: has been hyping up minor seizures and cartel arrests as
15:35
Speaker 1: part of a pr strategy attempting to appease the Trump administration.
15:39
Speaker 1: Trump officials highlight at Mexico's inn action against cartels in corruption,
15:43
Speaker 1: the American President's threatened them with tariffs and other punitive measures.
15:46
Speaker 1: The strategy is the brainchild of Mexico's Public Secretary of Security,
15:52
Speaker 1: a longtime ally and associated with the Mexican president, and
15:55
Speaker 1: they obviously have very tight connections with the cartels directly now.
15:59
Speaker 1: Since taking overall federal law enforcement in Mexico, this individual
16:03
Speaker 1: by the name of Harfuch has kept a tight rein
16:07
Speaker 1: on disseminating law enforcement information quote unquote from the article.
16:12
Speaker 1: Whenever a significant arrest occurs in the press offices at
16:15
Speaker 1: any Mexico's military or federal police forces are allowed to
16:18
Speaker 1: disseminate any information until this man approves it and tweets
16:22
Speaker 1: it out first. Such was the case of a recent
16:25
Speaker 1: mid level cartel figure in Nuevo Laredo. The man announced
16:32
Speaker 1: just after the Mexican President had a phone call with
16:35
Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying, Hey, we arrest an individual with who's
16:40
Speaker 1: a top cartel leader. He was actually a regional boss, okay,
16:44
Speaker 1: who led a strike team. US law enforcement sources revealed
16:48
Speaker 1: that they were lying about the significance that this was
16:51
Speaker 1: in fact not a top boss as the mid level guy,
16:56
Speaker 1: and they tried to make him into El Chapo and
16:59
Speaker 1: he's know, we're close to that.
17:01
Speaker 2: Now Mexico appears to.
17:04
Speaker 1: You know, act like this is some big victory, right
17:07
Speaker 1: this is and that this individual, Harfutch is a charismatic
17:11
Speaker 1: professional lawman in Mexico.
17:14
Speaker 2: That's crap.
17:15
Speaker 1: He's been the target of much controversy of a corruption
17:18
Speaker 1: and bribe re allegations. In the most recent news release
17:21
Speaker 1: from the Federal Security Cabinet, authorities listed the results of
17:24
Speaker 1: three days of work during which they claim to have
17:26
Speaker 1: made several arrests and seizures throughout Mexico. However, a closer
17:31
Speaker 1: look at the end since listed show that Mexico has
17:33
Speaker 1: been hyping up at cazars while in reality, criminal organizations
17:37
Speaker 1: continue to operate with almost complete imputity throughout Mexico. In
17:42
Speaker 1: the case of the arrests, authorities have been hyping up
17:44
Speaker 1: minor cartel figures and simply hiding behind the terms violent
17:48
Speaker 1: generators when they arrest easily replaceable cartel members.
17:52
Speaker 2: And by the way, many of these guys will be
17:54
Speaker 2: right back on the streets.
17:56
Speaker 1: This is again what they're doing to try to play
18:00
Speaker 1: the pr game, and the media in America, much of them,
18:03
Speaker 1: are helping them sell it. They're like, oh, big drug
18:05
Speaker 1: bust and all this. You know, all this cash was
18:08
Speaker 1: found in illegal guns and they're really cracking down.
18:11
Speaker 2: No, they're not. I'll give you another example.
18:14
Speaker 1: Our foods has a history of embezzling seizures and their
18:18
Speaker 1: effect on criminal organizations. In December, authority sees one hundred
18:22
Speaker 1: kilograms of fetanyl during a raid in Sinaloa. At the time,
18:25
Speaker 1: authorities did not provide details on any arrest, but did
18:28
Speaker 1: claim that the seizure was worth more than four hundred
18:32
Speaker 1: million and was a heavy blow to organized crime. However,
18:36
Speaker 1: according to a report, the production cost a fetnol in
18:39
Speaker 1: Mexico's approximately seventeen thousand per kilogram, which would put the
18:44
Speaker 1: actual blow of the seizure at approximately twenty million, and
18:47
Speaker 1: not four hundred million, as Mexico's government lied to you.
18:50
Speaker 1: So they're claiming that they had a four hundred million
18:53
Speaker 1: dollar bus, it was actually a twenty million dollar bus.
18:56
Speaker 1: That's just the cost of doing business, like they don't
18:58
Speaker 1: even care. In past interviews on Mexico's television stations, this
19:04
Speaker 1: dude also talked about the effectives of his force in Sineloa, saying,
19:08
Speaker 1: we're really getting into a turf war there. Well, guess what,
19:11
Speaker 1: that's never happened either. His forces there are not actively
19:16
Speaker 1: fighting cartel gunmen. In many parts of Mexico, they're not
19:19
Speaker 1: even showing up after the cartel shout shootouts happen for
19:23
Speaker 1: hours so that they will stay safe.
19:26
Speaker 2: They're lying to you, don't take the bait.
19:30
Speaker 1: I want to move over to this other issue I
19:32
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, and that is about a Christian girls
19:35
Speaker 1: basketball team was forced to compete against a transgender player
19:41
Speaker 1: as California has defied Donald Trump's federal order. This Christian
19:47
Speaker 1: girls basketball team in California forced to compete against a
19:51
Speaker 1: team with a transendor player as the state continues to
19:53
Speaker 1: defy Donald Trump's reach and the executive order banning males
19:56
Speaker 1: from women's sports altogether.
19:58
Speaker 2: Quote.
19:59
Speaker 1: An upcoming high school girls basketball playoff game will feature
20:03
Speaker 1: an openly transgender athlete playing for the San Francisco Waldorf
20:08
Speaker 1: against Quarterstone Christian this Saturday.
20:11
Speaker 2: The same transathlete.
20:13
Speaker 1: Played for Waldorf's girls volleyball team this past fall, prompting
20:18
Speaker 1: Stone Ridge Christian to forfeit.
20:20
Speaker 2: A playoff match altogether.
20:22
Speaker 1: The President Trump signed an executive order banning biological males
20:25
Speaker 1: from competing in women's sports. California has said it will
20:29
Speaker 1: absolutely defy the order in accordance with state law. The
20:33
Speaker 1: CIF provides students with the opportunity to belong, connect and
20:37
Speaker 1: compete in education based experiences in compliance with California law
20:42
Speaker 1: Education Code Section two two one five F, which permits
20:47
Speaker 1: the state says students to participate in school programs and activities,
20:52
Speaker 1: including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with the student's gender identity,
20:58
Speaker 1: irrespective of the gender listed on the student's records. The
21:02
Speaker 1: California Interscholastic Federation said in a statement today, barring a
21:08
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision or federal legislation, young girls in high
21:13
Speaker 1: school and middle school may still be subject to state
21:15
Speaker 1: laws regarding transgendered athletes and women's sports. The Trump administration's
21:20
Speaker 1: Department of Education and the Office of Civil Rights have
21:24
Speaker 1: been investigating the CIF since it decided to defy the order. Now,
21:30
Speaker 1: Cornerstone Christian has come out and said it will play
21:33
Speaker 1: the upcoming game on Saturday again San Francisco Waldorf as scheduled.
21:39
Speaker 1: Why because they don't want to hurt their girls and
21:41
Speaker 1: what they've accomplished. Quote, as long as the parents are
21:44
Speaker 1: on board with playing the game, we will support the
21:47
Speaker 1: girl's hard work this season and play the game that is,
21:50
Speaker 1: the Courterstone Christian Athletic director said the Fox News Canis Jackson,
21:55
Speaker 1: the deputy General Council for the Department of Education told
22:00
Speaker 1: Fox News that the department will monitor the girls' basketball
22:03
Speaker 1: playoffs during its investigation, saying CIF sets the parameters under
22:09
Speaker 1: which schools compete in these playoffs, and they have responsibility
22:13
Speaker 1: as recipients of federal funds to comply with the order.
22:19
Speaker 2: In other words, you.
22:20
Speaker 1: Want to lose the money, then go ahead and keep
22:22
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. But that is exactly why Donald
22:25
Speaker 1: Trump has decided to make it all about the money.
22:29
Speaker 1: And then the question becomes will they continue in California
22:33
Speaker 1: and will they lose the money?
22:35
Speaker 2: Now? I feel bad, and.
22:37
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people saying, well, the girls just
22:39
Speaker 1: shouldn't play. They did that in volleyball. And what really
22:43
Speaker 1: sucks is that these young girls, it's a playoff.
22:48
Speaker 2: They want to play for state championship.
22:51
Speaker 1: They know this isn't fair, but they're the ones that
22:54
Speaker 1: will be punished if they don't show up and play
22:58
Speaker 1: the game.
22:59
Speaker 2: The other team will We'll move on with a dude
23:01
Speaker 2: on its team.
23:04
Speaker 1: This is incredibly frustrating to watch the Left do what
23:07
Speaker 1: they're doing here.
23:08
Speaker 2: They don't care. They're going to do whatever the hell
23:11
Speaker 2: they want to do.
23:12
Speaker 1: Whenever they want to do it wherever they want to
23:14
Speaker 1: do it, especially in California. That is the motto now,
23:18
Speaker 1: I guess of defying Donald Trump and the presidency no
23:21
Speaker 1: matter what he says. Now, this is where Donald Trump
23:24
Speaker 1: has to make good on the promise. If you're going
23:28
Speaker 1: to do this in California, then you're going to lose
23:31
Speaker 1: your federal funds. Then, when there's massive budget shortfalls in
23:36
Speaker 1: your education and in your sports programs in the public
23:40
Speaker 1: schools out there right because they're accepting these federal funds,
23:43
Speaker 1: then you're going to have to deal with your own
23:45
Speaker 1: citizens who are angry over what just happened. It's got
23:51
Speaker 1: to hurt them financially at some point. I don't believe
23:56
Speaker 1: by the way that Donald Trump is going to flinch
23:58
Speaker 1: on this one. I feel bad for the girls that
24:02
Speaker 1: are in the crosshairs here that are having to even
24:04
Speaker 1: deal with this. It's unfair, but this is how radical
24:08
Speaker 1: the left is becoming.
24:09
Speaker 2: This issue.
24:10
Speaker 1: We're going to keep dealing with this issue. I'm going
24:12
Speaker 1: to keep you up to date on exactly what's happening
24:14
Speaker 1: with it. I can promise you that, so just know,
24:17
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens on Saturday and I will give
24:20
Speaker 1: you an update now.
24:21
Speaker 2: Finally, let me move to this other issue.
24:23
Speaker 1: And I talked about this earlier, and that is President
24:26
Speaker 1: Trump is clearly turning on Zelensky, blasting Zelensky as a
24:31
Speaker 1: dictator because he hasn't had elections. Donald Trump slammed Zelensky
24:37
Speaker 1: as a dictator without elections a day after Zelensky complained
24:41
Speaker 1: about Ukraine not having a seat at the diplomatic talks
24:43
Speaker 1: Tuesday between the United States and Russia. Trump ripped Zelensky
24:48
Speaker 1: in a lengthy true social post, first addressing him as
24:51
Speaker 1: a modestly successful comedian rather than president. I want to
24:57
Speaker 1: read for you exactly what Donald Trump said in his
25:00
Speaker 1: own words. Think of it a modestly successful comedian. Zolensky
25:07
Speaker 1: talked the United States of America into spending three hundred
25:11
Speaker 1: and fifty billion dollars to go into a war that
25:15
Speaker 1: couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a
25:20
Speaker 1: war that he without the US and Trump will never
25:25
Speaker 1: be able to settle. The United States has spent two
25:29
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed,
25:34
Speaker 1: while the United States will get nothing back. In other words,
25:37
Speaker 1: it's alone. If when it comes from Europe but not
25:40
Speaker 1: from America. He then said, why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden
25:43
Speaker 1: demand equalization in that this war is far more important
25:48
Speaker 1: to Europe than it is to us. We have a big,
25:50
Speaker 1: beautiful ocean as separation. On top of this, Zolensky admits
25:55
Speaker 1: that half of the money we sent him is quote missing.
26:00
Speaker 1: He refused to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls,
26:05
Speaker 1: and the only thing he was good at was playing
26:07
Speaker 1: Biden like a fiddle, a dictator without elections. Zelensky better
26:13
Speaker 1: move fast or he's not going to have a country left.
26:16
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to
26:20
Speaker 1: the war with Russia, something I'll admit only Trump and
26:24
Speaker 1: the Trump administration can do.
26:26
Speaker 2: Biden never tried.
26:28
Speaker 1: Europe has failed to bring peace, and Zelensky probably wants
26:32
Speaker 1: to keep the gravy train going, referring to all the
26:35
Speaker 1: money he's getting. Finally, Trump said, I love Ukraine, but
26:39
Speaker 1: Zelensky has done a terrible job. His country is shattered
26:44
Speaker 1: and millions have unnecessarily died, and so it continues. Now,
26:50
Speaker 1: a lot of this does come down to the loss
26:52
Speaker 1: of life aspect of this. So why has Zelensky so
26:55
Speaker 1: hell been on continuing this war, Well, it's because that's
26:59
Speaker 1: where the millions are coming from. He went on to
27:02
Speaker 1: write that Zolensky has refused to have elections. That is
27:06
Speaker 1: another part of this conversation. Why would we support a
27:10
Speaker 1: dictator who is doing his job without elections, he said,
27:16
Speaker 1: And he's right, Zelensky.
27:17
Speaker 2: Better move faster.
27:18
Speaker 1: He's going to have a He's not going to have
27:19
Speaker 1: a country left. I don't know if Zelensky cares, because
27:23
Speaker 1: if you're getting rich and all the oligarchs around you
27:26
Speaker 1: are getting rich, and the money's coming in and you're
27:28
Speaker 1: siphoning it out of the country. I promised you that
27:31
Speaker 1: Zelensky has an exit strategy. I'm sure he has a
27:35
Speaker 1: country and a place that he will go if he
27:38
Speaker 1: has to leave in the middle of the night in exile. Biden,
27:41
Speaker 1: by the way, as he described it, has never tried.
27:43
Speaker 1: He's right about that.
27:45
Speaker 2: Europe.
27:46
Speaker 1: Uh, it was a disaster if you wouldn't even call
27:48
Speaker 1: it them trying to bring peace. But all of this
27:51
Speaker 1: really is just about the money. New York Times, by
27:55
Speaker 1: the way, Bureau Chief and kiv framed it this way.
28:00
Speaker 1: Zelensky last out the Trump administration after the meeting, saying
28:03
Speaker 1: decisions on how to end the war in Ukraine cannot
28:06
Speaker 1: be made without Ukraine, nor can any condition be imposed.
28:09
Speaker 1: Kelensky said from Turkey, where he had travelers part of
28:12
Speaker 1: a plan tour of the Middle East. That's where he
28:14
Speaker 1: goes and shakes down people for money. Quote, we are
28:16
Speaker 1: not invited to this Russian American meeting in Saudi Arabia.
28:20
Speaker 1: It was a surprise for us, I think for many
28:22
Speaker 1: others as well.
28:24
Speaker 2: Now.
28:24
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance notably met with
28:27
Speaker 1: Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference last week in Germany.
28:31
Speaker 2: Zelensky said the.
28:32
Speaker 1: Discussion was quote unquote good at the time, saying we
28:36
Speaker 1: want peace very much, but we need real security guarantees
28:40
Speaker 1: and we will continue our meetings and our work and
28:43
Speaker 1: we will be happy to see General Kellogg also in Ukraine.
28:48
Speaker 1: He went on to add, look, I don't know where
28:51
Speaker 1: this ends. I'm not even sure that anyone knows like
28:55
Speaker 1: how this is going to end or when. What I
28:58
Speaker 1: do know is it is in Zelensky's best interest to
29:01
Speaker 1: do whatever he can to extend the date where the
29:06
Speaker 1: money is going to stop flowing, because.
29:09
Speaker 2: I also think then whatever.
29:10
Speaker 1: The deal is that's going to be made at the
29:12
Speaker 1: end of the day, right and that deal can change
29:15
Speaker 1: a lot.
29:17
Speaker 2: But whatever that.
29:17
Speaker 1: Deal is that is made at the end of the day,
29:21
Speaker 1: Zolensky just needs more money.
29:24
Speaker 2: Zelensky wants more money.
29:27
Speaker 1: Zelensky and his Ola garchs, if they can hold on
29:31
Speaker 1: and have war for another three months or six months
29:33
Speaker 1: or another year, that's what their objective is. It's in
29:38
Speaker 1: their best interest to not in this war. They don't
29:41
Speaker 1: care about their citizens dying. If they did, we wouldn't
29:44
Speaker 1: be where we are right now. I think Trump's right
29:47
Speaker 1: there are millions are going to end up being dead
29:49
Speaker 1: from this. They're lying about the numbers in Ukraine. They're
29:52
Speaker 1: lying about the numbers loss in Russia as well. But
29:56
Speaker 1: if you look at the carnage and just how bad
29:58
Speaker 1: things have gotten, neither side right now wants this thing
30:02
Speaker 1: to end. For whatever their reason is, whether it's the money,
30:06
Speaker 1: whether it's the power, whether it's the fame, whether it's
30:09
Speaker 1: the propaganda, it could be multiple things. They're not wanting
30:14
Speaker 1: this to actually end, and Zelensky, I think, will lose
30:18
Speaker 1: everything when it does. Don't forget Share this podcast with
