2023 04 16 - WEEK END REVIEW - Go woke go broke
[00:00:00] Michelle: One. This is a My Michelle Live podcast
[00:00:06] Sound bite: weekend review a look back at the week. It's my Michelle Live weekend review. Here's
[00:00:12] Michelle: Michelle, and co-host Adam R As we take on the news of the week, we look back, unspin. And dig deep for the God story, for the message of hope for everyone, a message that's balanced and try to find truth in the midst of a lot of crazy out there.
[00:00:32] Adam. Hey my friend. You've been pretty busy this week. I'm doing the good work.
[00:00:39] Adam: Michelle, it has been quite a week. Man earlier in the week I went to the Texas Capitol in Austin and I was there with a group of people who were, we were basically fighting for medical freedom and a lot of the people that were in my group are people that have.
[00:00:52] Personally experienced vaccine injuries people that have actually lost loved ones to the vaccine, to the jab. [00:01:00] And, these are people that have been strongly, pushed out of the mainstream in terms of their ability to share their personal experiences their actual terrible, tragic experiences of losing people they love.
[00:01:10] I met with a guy who actually in the photo Michelle, with the bus in the background on the right side of the photo. It's the first photo there. The right side of the photo, I'm kneeling in the front row next to a gentleman. To my right in the photo, I guess to my left is if I'm like, Looking at the photos, it's to the right.
[00:01:29] And then that poor guy who's kneeling, he lost his wife to Covid to the Covid vaccine specifically. There was another gentleman that was with us who actually fought, he went to a hospital and fought to get the hospital to basically take his wife off of a ventilator so that she could actually get the proper treatment that she needed.
[00:01:46] They the hospitals were incentivized to put people on ventilators, and they were paid I think 10 to $13,000 or so.
[00:01:56] It was terrible to see how, I think greed took over our health [00:02:00]system during that time. And so we, what's visited over on,
[00:02:04] Michelle: if we can keep the hospital going, we have this weird kind of morality. If we can keep the hospital going and save more lives, we'll take a crap shoot maybe with this guy's wife.
[00:02:15] It's exactly because we're making money. It's so messed up.
[00:02:17] Adam: Business. Yes. And it's. It's crazy. And what our goal was when we were at the Texas Capitol in visiting lawmakers is we were trying to basically advance a couple of bills forward that had already passed the Texas Senate. But obviously if the house doesn't pick those up and continue running with the baton, they just die on the vine.
[00:02:32] So we were trying to get one author for a bill that would basically forbid governmental entities from mandated businesses force employees to get vaccines. And then the other bill that we were working on was one, related to releasing health professionals from liabilities, like losing their health licenses to enable them to provide therapies like ivermectin.
[00:02:52] And actually I met one congressman's chief of staff who said that. During Covid he got covid and he took it upon [00:03:00] himself to get ivermectin, basically traffic to him, to Texas from Mexico. And the treatment that he got was fantastic. It took care of his problems. And, he basically he basically sought treatment that wasn't available to him here.
[00:03:13] In the state of Texas, here in the United States because at the time you had people like Sanjay Gupta and Don Lemon criticizing Ivermectin as a horsey warmer. And it was really nice to meet with a lot of very enthusiastic lawmakers. But I gotta say, We had a lot of mixed reactions when coming across some of the Democrats offices.
[00:03:29] Cause we weren't just knocking on Republican doors, we were knocking on everybody with influence, people in committee positions and also people that were empowered to actually choose, what actually is considered for a vote. And it was interesting the whole war of words thing, right?
[00:03:44] Whenever we would talk to a Republican politician, the word medical freedom would resonate with them and they would be open to our message. Whenever we knocked on a Democrats door, we had to use the terms medical choice. And if you go into a Democrat's office and you say medical freedom, they ime, they immediately [00:04:00] just stopped listening to you because they assume that you're coming at them from the right.
[00:04:04] And so going into those offices, we'd be basically saying, Hey, we're here to advance medical choice. And that allowed us to at least establish a dialogue with them without having them just immediately tune us out from the first
[00:04:14] Michelle: day. How was that?
[00:04:16] Adam: It was received. We were, we actually were treated quite well by, by the Democrats good in, in the Texas house in the Capitol, right?
[00:04:22] We knocked on over a hundred doors, right? So there's 151 members of the Texas house. The Democrats were actually pretty, pretty friendly, but at the same time, it was one of those, we're gonna smile and then, when you close the door, we're gonna stab you in the back sort of deal.
[00:04:35] They really didn't have any real motivation to. To put, to author these bills, to co-author them. We're in favor of them. Okay, so let's talk about but at least
[00:04:42] Michelle: they were friendly for just a moment because we see the same thing with abortion issues. And we talked on our Health Watch program this week about the ruling coming out of.
[00:04:54] Texas, y'all had a ruling and then we up here in my state said, [00:05:00]oh heck no. And so we had these dueling abortion rulings. But what with the abortion issue, Adam, is the same thing. Is that we'll speak choice, but we don't want people to have a choice. We don't want people That's exactly right to.
[00:05:13] To know the whole story. We don't want people to know, for example, with the abortion pill, the kill pill, we don't want you to know that there have been 500% increases in a. Emergency room visits from people taking this pill or some of the emotional reactions with your experience with, oh, yes, we're here for medical choice.
[00:05:41] Okay I'll at least let you in the door, but that's not what we want. We didn't want choice during C O V I D. We didn't want you to be able to talk about it. Whipped you up into such a hyper state that you were willing to come against your friends and loved ones because they [00:06:00] didn't tow the line and you called them murderers when they were standing up for choice.
[00:06:06] This is a danger and it's what we're seeing right out of some of the dangers as we talked about on our Thursday news and views, the dangers coming out of China China. As a country, you have no choice, period. With your health, with your religion, with your ideology, with your edu, you have no choice.
[00:06:25] And that's what we're seeing coming out of the left. And it's dangerous and it's very undemocratic. That's not the Democrat party of old.
[00:06:34] Adam: Exactly. Exactly right. And frankly, too, that was actually some of the hypocritical pushback that we got from them when we would knock on their doors.
[00:06:40] They would make comments about, life versus choice in terms of abortion. And they're totally ignoring the life of the child, which is just ridiculous. Or
[00:06:50] Michelle: even the life of the mother who certainly, who is oftentimes in danger and they don't know the danger. So before you are making that choice to get an abortion, you don't really [00:07:00] know how dangerous it can be and the emotional impact.
[00:07:04] You you're not, we're not talking about.
[00:07:07] Adam: That's right. That's right. But it's par for the course and that's why we have to continue being really vigilant. And frankly too, it's not just being vigilant against those on the left, but it's also being vigilant against those on the right. There's actually one congressman that serves close to where I live, and he's known for running on a certain platform and then doing the opposite.
[00:07:25] Once he's in office, he's a bit of a snowflake Republican. Great. And Michelle And kid. You not, he recognized our group when we were walking through the halls of Congress. And he quickly looked at his phone as though he were busy and then ducked into a personal only room to avoid talking to us, which was quite funny.
[00:07:40] And frankly to be expected too. The, we really have to continue as citizens to make a presence when Congress is in session at our state capitals and make sure our lawmakers know that we're watching and that we are going to hold them accountable. And when a bill passes on one side of the house, like the Senate or the house itself.
[00:07:57] It's important that we are establishing a [00:08:00] dialogue and working to connect the dots and making sure that they prioritize those bills for a full vote. Otherwise, nothing really happens. And a lot of times, we obviously see special interests come outta the woodwork to water down bills that were once authored perfectly.
[00:08:13] And unfortunately that happens quite a bit, right? Really just ignoring, who's on what side of the fence in terms of their actual party affiliation. We have to just ensure that we're moving forward based on principles and basically looking for solutions and then ensuring that those solutions are actually getting the attention that
[00:08:27] Michelle: they deserve.
[00:08:28] Come on. One final thing, a along this line and your very busy week going to. And putting up and in God we trust signs and how you were UN's, un met with mixed reaction. What you have to understand across the country and even the world up in Canada where we have a lot of viewers and listeners, is that in Texas, if.
[00:08:51] Someone donates a sign like that, they have to put it up and it's has to be prominent. I think that's weird law, but in this age. Okay, [00:09:00]so as you right, brought these signs, you were, you again, were met with mixed reactions. What happened?
[00:09:06] Adam: That's right. So in a nutshell governor Abbott, obviously he's he tries to, to wave the more conservative flag as best as he can.
[00:09:13] And so he signed a law basically stating that if a donor or someone gifts to a school, a sign that says, in God we trust that the school must hang that particular gift and a conspicuous location in the state of Arkansas, you'll actually find an, in God we trust sign in every classroom in, in the cafeteria.
[00:09:29] And Michelle, it's not all that controversial a statement and God we trust is on our currency. You don't like it. You don't spend that money. Yeah. If you don't like it, don't spend that money. Go to a different country and spend their money. In a nutshell though, we, so I was with a group of, that was me.
[00:09:42] I'm. Oh, we don't wanna make anybody cry. Aw. But I had the great experience of working with a group of local a lot of local women, actually, moms and grandmothers who basically we had a, I think we had about 2000 signs donated to us from someone from Arkansas specifically. And so we were working [00:10:00]to distribute 60 signs in one setting.
[00:10:02] And, the, these signs fir our first impression was we showed up to several schools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools in north Texas. And Michelle, several schools had bear flag poles. They were not flying the American flag when I was a kid. I, it was a privilege to serve on the school safety patrol in the mornings.
[00:10:21] And part of that, being a part of the flag, raising every day. Yeah. Learning how
[00:10:25] Michelle: to fold it as a kid, how to put it up, how to put it down. Adam the, this weird trend that has, that really started during the Obama administration. It had before there you'd see. Burning flags in the sixties.
[00:10:39] Don't quote me on this is when it started, but it really restarted, if you will, during the Obama mid administration with the apology tour that he took, right? Going around and saying how bad America was. This is a weird trend because the very reason that you can walk around as a guy with lipstick [00:11:00]and not be put to death, the very reason that you can.
[00:11:04] Protest and you have free speech is because you're in the United States of America. It is the weirdest That's right. Friend. That's, and it's like group think in the weird direction. It's a very sad thing. So it's something that's right. That we have. To be concerned about. We have a lot to be concerned about too.
[00:11:25] I wanted to transition because of time to the Biden administration and I have a video for you. This one is weird. So Bumbling Biden is out and about, right? Ni hunter Biden had to bail out Joe because Joe was confused by a child's question. I don't know. What makes America gr COVID response?
[00:11:47] I don't know. So here we go.[00:12:00]
[00:12:00] Let's see if we can hear Joe.
[00:12:08] Sound bite: Success. Success for making sure that we don't all have What? Talking about success, like what's the What's? What's key success? Key to success? I found out key to success is, I'm not sure I'm the best side successful. Whenever you disagree with someone, it's okay to question their judgment. Right or wrong, but it's never okay to question their motive.
[00:12:40] Michelle: What? Okay.
[00:12:41] Sound bite: That's the
[00:12:42] Adam: key to pro tips from Joe Biden. Okay.
[00:12:46] Sound bite: Yeah. That
[00:12:46] Michelle: was, but not really understanding. Maybe he's old, he can't hear whatever. But that was a little bit of an embarrassing moment for the Biden administration. Scott help coming to Joe Biden [00:13:00] from Hunter Biden himself, which by the way, apparently there is no story here with Hunter Biden, at least if you are the three big networks, because they covered zero.
[00:13:13] Zero stories on Hunter Biden's dealings with the White House. Take a listen as
[00:13:21] Adam: we're learning of Hunter Biden's business partners
[00:13:23] Michelle: relations with the white. The big three major networks. Their evening broadcast spent a total of zero minutes covering this revelation. Instead, they cover topics like rising sea levels in the Gulf of Mexico, rising costs of post postage stamps, and of course, the AI revolution.
[00:13:38] And Fox News contributor Joe Kacha joins me now. Joe, does any of this shock you at all? Because it does not me. The Dean warmer treatment hug guys 0.0
[00:13:49] Adam: minutes of coverage? No, not
[00:13:51] Michelle: at all. We've seen this movie many times when it comes to this particular bombshell, and it is a bombshell, 80 times.
[00:13:58] But Joe Biden told our Peter [00:14:00] Ducey in those clips you just played, that he never discussed his son's business dealings with. And we've all heard that. Sure. No, I've never discussed my son's bi business dealings, but we now know it's been 80 times now. Why is that a big deal? Because there was some weird stuff going on there we saw with the laptop.
[00:14:15] All of those things are big deals. We covered Trump, rightfully concerned about rushing collusion. I'm fine with covering. I'm. Digging deep. I'm fine with could there be something here? But they found nothing. But yet we have. The whole laptop thing should have been talked about. We're arresting we're indicting, I should say, an American past American president based on wonky kind of stuff, that, that is misdemeanor at best.
[00:14:48] It, it doesn't show great character if any of those things were true. But yet we're going there, and this is a big story, but we're not even talking about.
[00:14:58] Adam: That, that's why I got the mixed [00:15:00] reactions that I got when I was trying to drop off in God, we trust signs at the schools. There were so many school administrators that were so unhappy to see a sign that said, in God we trust, we've fallen so far from truth that it's all about just driving a narrative forward.
[00:15:13] And that's why we're sitting here watching in the media. Protect the Democrat establishment. They're protecting Joe Biden. They're ignoring voicemails that we've seen or heard images and videos that we've seen that came from Hunter Biden's laptop and so many other things too.
[00:15:28] Specifically touching on their business dealings that are very questionable and frankly that expose them to just tons of liabilities as it pertains to outside influence. I think President G in China has really Joe Biden, right where he wants him. He's like a puppet, and now he's easily easy to
[00:15:43] Michelle: be controlled and it's getting dangerous.
[00:15:45] I'd like to, Take a moment and go to my Michelle Live. If you haven't heard Thursday's program a pretty important one where we talk about are we already at war with China? And you have to think about the influence and the [00:16:00]destabilization and the attacks that come from so many fronts. It's dangerous.
[00:16:04] And yet we have this from the White House where not even the left wing press believed this when Jean Pierre said that Biden. Unprecedented numbers of questions and the whole Press Corps was just this collective. Oh, are you kidding? I rolling. So it was like realtime fact checking there. So as we take a little look at the Biden administration update, there's more that we have to take into consideration than just his bumbling, and doesn't know what's going on.
[00:16:40] Can't underst. Question from a child. There's out. Lies that take place under every presidential administration, but for some reason, we get lazy when it gets to a Democrat in office, and that's not fair. It's not right, and it's not [00:17:00] safe for America.
[00:17:01] Adam: He, Michelle, he's only held 21 total press briefings in his nearly two and a half years in.
[00:17:05] The guys literally engaged the press maybe 25% of the time versus what Trump gave to the reporters.
[00:17:11] Michelle: That's whatever he Cause they can't weaken at Bernie him that
[00:17:14] Adam: Exactly. Yeah. Cuz whenever they ask him questions, they're met with either he ignores their questions or he just babbles off about something that's totally not related.
[00:17:21] Like he, like what? There's so many different words you could just pull from Joe Biden that don't. Interlocutors was one of the words that he came up with. And then there's the excuse me. It's that's not a real answer. President Trump will go deep with journalists and give them, several minutes of time per question, and he would even answer questions right outside the helicopter.
[00:17:43] Right outside Marine one. Joe Biden, though. He goes to Canada and he says he's not in Canada. He'll literally be in a country and say he's somewhere else.
[00:17:53] Michelle: I don't know what they're giving him, but let's hope they don't start putting that in the water. There's a, oh my gosh. Another, there's another [00:18:00]angle we wanted to talk about.
[00:18:01] With the Biden administration, it has to do with the disgrace, nuclear waste Chief Sam Britton, who received a suspended
[00:18:10] Adam: sentence. Yep. Sam Brenton is somebody that we've covered a few times on this show, and this is what happens when you hire for equity and not merit, right?
[00:18:18] So this particular person was sentenced to 180 days in prison after pleading no contest. You know what? Yeah, I stole the luggage in that airport. I'm not, how can I even fight the charges? Because I think trials will be pretty embarrassing. So this former Department of Energy official who identifies as non-binary which I guess basically means like some days he's a dude, some days he thinks he's a chick.
[00:18:39] Also ordered to pay about $3,600 in restitution for. Basically stealing a lady's luggage. And in one image of the actual theft, he stole a unique, one of a kind dress that was designed by a lady from Houston. That's right. And but basically the kind of funny thing is the judge basically like scolded Brenton saying, if you don't stay out of trouble, then [00:19:00] you're gonna be forced to serve in your entire six month prison sentence.
[00:19:03] This is just par for the course with Biden administration. And you know what, Michelle, when I see this story, I'm just wondering who's next, right? Who else in his administration are we gonna see in the headlines for doing something stupid like this?
[00:19:15] Michelle: It's a good question, but something that I'm really concerned about is the uptick of crimes that are committed by the pronoun gain.
[00:19:27] Oh, like the national shooting. The Louis, the Louisville bank shooter was employed by the Old National Bank there. But proudly displaying pronouns and you're. Okay. Is there a connection? Because I will tell you this. When we see we, we see anyone who's of a right leaning and they're a gun enthusiasts like we saw with the leak that came out of the Pentagon.
[00:19:51] We draw conclusions. Okay. If there's a right-leaning thinking, maybe they're, they've gone a little extremist, maybe they. Threatened, what's going on [00:20:00]here and how can we help these people? Or how can we intervene before they do something crazy? But again, just as we are ignoring this story or we're just dismissing missing Mr.
[00:20:12] Nuclear Voice Chief and just saying, oh, okay you just go Toyota Trouble. But yet with a sitting president with things that aren't even, aren't. Issues. We are going all out. Okay, fine. But there is no balance there, and that is really scary in this country. Look at what happens in communist countries.
[00:20:35] Look what, look at what happens when you get that far outta balance when there is no. Justice, liberty and justice for all. Just liberty and justice for some. Then you and you see this protected group, maybe they feel like they can't be touched. Maybe they there's a mental health issue there, but we've seen continued shootings.
[00:20:59] [00:21:00] And violence and crimes that's being committed by this, what do they say? The L G B T makes up 10% of the population. That's a problem. It's a real
[00:21:14] Adam: problem when the mainstream media, and frankly when snowflake out of touch, religious leaders are sitting here calling the Nashville School shooter a victim.
[00:21:22] That's absurd, but that's what's going on. They're literally trying to cushion this protected class when in reality we just need to hold these people accountable as individuals that are doing terrible things, and then ask real questions and offer real solutions to these issues. Actual mental health solutions for someone who's going to pick up a gun and shoot three, nine year old children and three adults, right?
[00:21:42] That's a psychotic thing to do. And if you're sitting here and you're already misdiagnosing the problem, there's absolutely no way you're gonna offer a real solution to the problem, right? So when mental health is the issue, Then why the heck are we talking about gun control?
[00:21:55] Because that is not the problem. Guns don't shoot people shoot
[00:21:57] Michelle: people with guns. No, and I'll tell you one, [00:22:00] one thing that just that someone had said to me this week that just hit home, that there is this consorted effort to make fun of people saying thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers don't do anything, thoughts and prayers, but do you know what it is when you have a sign two blocks away from me is an elementary school.
[00:22:18] Do you know what happens when you have a sign up there that says this is a gun free zone? That's your thoughts and prayers, that's your happy thoughts that, if we say that it's a gun free zone, we. Faith, what are you putting your faith in then? Now think about it, you, your little sign there and your hopes and dreams of a gun-free environment has done little to protect children.
[00:22:43] What are you putting your faith in? Because it's like when, I'll tell you what my thoughts and prayers, my prayers are going. A powerful God who has a pretty dang good track record just.
[00:22:55] Adam: Yeah. And he's got a pretty good line of sight, that's for sure. It's like going through TSA at the airport and they take your [00:23:00] nail clippers cuz they're, they're, oh, what do you might do something dangerous with those nail clippers while you're on board.
[00:23:05] What? Leave my toenail clippings on the floor. Like a sicko
[00:23:08] Sound bite: is pretty gross. You get like these, do that.
[00:23:11] Adam: Oh, that's true. That's true. I used to work for a guy who would literally clip his nails in his office and I sat outside of it. I was just like, come on man. The heck, like we're at work, dude.
[00:23:19] Do that. Do that at home in your bathroom or something. Not in the workplace where everyone can sit out here listening to you chopping off your thick nails.
[00:23:27] Michelle: Gross. You have no decor anymore. I'm just gonna say it as a side note, I really think that some of the biggest problems in America started when we started wearing pajama pants in.
[00:23:37] Then we just all, I'm blaming pajama pants, which I'm wearing right now. You idiot. This whole idea of elevating the L G B T Q alphabet gain. Look, these are people, they're people struggling with identity. That's a real thing. To struggle with identity, to struggle with attraction, whatever [00:24:00]you're struggling with, we all do, we all struggle with things.
[00:24:05] But to elevate people and to put others at risk is. A huge problem that we're facing now in America, and we are becoming pretty perverse in our attempt. And that coming out of the California School Board, which is now, that's right. Turning education on its head as they did a new transgender vote in a face that faces a lawsuit right now.
[00:24:33] But in the public school system, they voted to hide mental. Information about students from their parents. That's great. And so then what happens when these kids do something weird, like steal luggage or shoot up the school and the parents said, I didn't know they were struggling with anything. What the
[00:24:53] Adam: heck?
[00:24:54] Yeah, it totally disables the parent's ability to have a full context behind their children's behavior. Michelle, [00:25:00] there are already a study revealed that there are almost 9,000 schools that have policies that literally will keep parents in the dark if their child is struggling with transgender related mental health issues.
[00:25:09] Homeschool and be people homeschool cough, homeschool. Absolutely. And think so, in California specifically, and as it relates to this story it's in Northern California, the Chico Unified School District. There was a parent that basically testified before the school board saying that the school literally transitioned her daughter without her knowledge or consent at the time the father had just passed away.
[00:25:28] And also at the same time, the mother was battling with breast cancer. They had a lot going on in that house. And because of what was going on, the child sought help from a school mental wellness counselor. And you'll actually, if you go to your school board meetings and you, especially when they're doing the budgeting, they'll actually, there's a budget item there for basically social workers that are basically these school mental wellness counselors.
[00:25:49] And so basically in California and this school district, the mental wellness counselor literally groomed the child into discussing her sexual identity and then ultimately, Leading her [00:26:00] towards this path of transition. And it's absurd that this is allowed to happen because when it's happening, the school has a policy that they're not gonna tell you the parent about what's going on.
[00:26:11] That's craziness right now. And no wonder we have just really alarmingly degrading mental health among kids today. They're literally being I think, led away from the truth. They're being told that they're not who they are and that they weren't born right. And now the schools are legitimizing it.
[00:26:25] From the elementary school level where I saw schools that were not raising the American flag to the middle school level, to the high school level where kids maybe have one kid in the classroom standing for the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a really big problem that we have to really tackle in our school systems because this is the next generation of America.
[00:26:42] This is the next generation that we're going have to re going to have to rely on to protect our meritocracy. And right now, oh my
[00:26:47] Michelle: gosh. And if it's worse, man, we're in trouble. What we're seeing with Gen Z, I swear, I just, because I
[00:26:52] Adam: gotta say Michelle, though, I was, God is awesome. When I was at the Capitol earlier this week.
[00:26:57] There was a 15 year old in our.[00:27:00]
[00:27:02] Bible Freedom. There was also a 17 year old there as well. Oh yeah. So we had two, there is a Rise two that were with us and those kids give me hope.
[00:27:08] Michelle: Yeah. There's been a rise in kids in that generation who are going, wait, there's sop. Thing going on here. But it's not enough. And there's no wonder we're declining in academics.
[00:27:19] If you're, if you were perpetuating your social ideology on the next generation, could you at least make sure that they can read, write, and do simple math because we are declining. Horrifically in academics according to what's going on in our high schools, our college readiness is 30%. That would under, well at least old school grading, b an f a college curriculum breadth, ready for or understanding college curriculum is 10%.
[00:27:53] And the college graduation rate from high school is. Percent, [00:28:00]10% we're, and that's not even. Ranking which we don't have time to get into where we fall in the world with reading, writing, math, sciences, not even in the top 10. We are, we really are flailing and failing. But you don't wanna give us a failing grade because I don't know about you if you heard about this teacher, this middle school teacher who was fired because she gave her students zeros when.
[00:28:31] Refused. They just didn't wanna turn in their work. I don't wanna do work, I don't wanna do homework. I'll get a passing grade anyway, just for having my butt in the seat. And she said, oh, heck no. But of course, when this eighth grade teacher gave student zeros, she was fired. Okay. Because you
[00:28:50] Adam: know what, that sounds like a teacher worth hiring, right?
[00:28:52] Like that. Yeah. If you don't turn in the homework and if you don't do the. That's a zero. If you don't do the work. You don't get a dollar.[00:29:00]Unless you have some sort of ridiculous entitlement program that you know you might be able to take advantage of. But that's it. Do the work, get paid, right?
[00:29:06] Do the homework, get the grade.
[00:29:09] Michelle: Let's hope. So what we wanted to get into in these last few minutes of the program today is, How that worldview is not working. So doctors have been exposing how experimental, gender affirming care really is, and it is scary. Not only that we're allowing adults to do it, or we're giving adults this choice, but we're not, again, Telling them all of the problems and all of the issues that are surrounding this, but on top of it, we're pushing it on vulnerable children without their parents' intervention or knowledge.
[00:29:52] Let's talk a little bit about that.
[00:29:54] Adam: Absolutely. The great thing about this show, Michelle, is, it is the God story. And I think with the God story, there's always room [00:30:00] for hope and optimism. And in this case we're there, there were doctors that. Once in favor, once proponents of basically gender affirming care or, I think the actual term that the doctors were using was it was not gender affirming care, but it was something like transgender modification basically.
[00:30:18] And in a nutshell, there's this organization called, or it was once called the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association, which later became known as w. Letters and this guy, Dr. Steven Levine, he literally in regret said, oh my goodness. This organization that's responsible for rec, for making the recommendations that doctors use to say, yes, this person is a candidate for gender modification, or, no, they're not a candidate for it.
[00:30:43] This organization literally has. In his view crept from being one based on science to one, based on science and advocacy. And so you now have an organization that's looked to as the authority by the health community. And in fact, it's been basically infiltrated by political [00:31:00] ideology, of course. And you now see Doctors Stewart's Pro.
[00:31:03] Exactly
[00:31:03] Michelle: right. Life and so vaccinations. Exactly
[00:31:07] Adam: right. Yeah. And it all goes back to money, unfortunately. And greed and in this case also socialism. But there was one of the doctors in this particular group of people who are testifying in Florida, who said Patients suffering from gender dysphoria or related issues have a right to be protected from experimental, potentially harmful treatments, lacking, reliable, valid peer reviewed, published.
[00:31:27] Long-term scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness. And in a nutshell, the organization responsible for creating the kind of the checklist of is this person a candidate or are they not a candidate? When you're p, when you're infiltrated by political ideology, you're gonna be so far from, OB objective, right?
[00:31:43] You're gonna be literally trying to push as many people towards the road of. Gender modification is possible when in fact it's gender mutilation in most cases. I would say in every case follow, especially when you money
[00:31:54] Michelle: people follow the money. Michelle, what
[00:31:56] Adam: did you see? I was having. I was having a conversation with somebody this week.
[00:31:59] [00:32:00] You can't even get a tattoo till you're 18. Like you can't get a tattoo till you're 18 because that's permanent and it doesn't just go away. So why the heck would a child be able to do something as drastic as. Puberty blockers or hysterectomy as a 12 or 13 or a 14 year old.
[00:32:17] Michelle: It's a name. You can't
[00:32:19] Sound bite: get a
[00:32:19] Adam: tattoo, but you can do all this crazy
[00:32:21] Sound bite: stuff.
[00:32:21] Michelle: It's crazy. You can do all this crazy stuff. It's, you follow the money. If we can get more people vaccinated, it doesn't matter if. There's health problems or if we haven't really looked into it we'll just shame people and force them into it. And then pharma makes money if we can tell people that abortions are great, and that's just a clump of sales in there, even though it wrecks the human psyche.
[00:32:46] Believe me, there's forgiveness and there's life after abortion, but why go there to begin with? There is the same thing that we see with, as I said, vaccines as we've said with abortion, [00:33:00] with gender affirming care. We're not hearing the whole story. You're not making a choice and it's bull crap. If you think this is, we need to have choice for people.
[00:33:10] That's not a choice. If you're not giving the full information, do you wanna see what that future looks like? Look at China, look at the communist countries, and then tell me what you think. If you really think that what's being perpetuated in the news and in society is really working, we are gonna end our program today with a go woke go broke segment of this program because this bud is not for you.
[00:33:37] Now, I know a lot of folks have said and this is a hard place Adam because drag queens and that kind of entertainment why it gets lumped with L G B T Q is maybe because of personal choices, but it really is a form of entertainment, a form of should be adult entertainment and I don't have any problem.[00:34:00]
[00:34:00] Being out there, if we're gonna have strip clubs, a drag show is sexually charged usually and has a lot of that kind of humor, but it's a lot less of Vivid or maybe I don't know.
[00:34:15] Adam: I think any kind of scantily clad torque or shake or split or whatever, he's a little bit adult. It's a lot of, bit adults
[00:34:21] Michelle: separating, I don't know why we have to lump that together.
[00:34:24] It is we don't want to ban people because they dress as clowns, right? They're not really clowns. They're just people dressed as clowns. Same thing when a man dresses in drag, they're not really, ooh, she's getting controversial here. They're not getting, when they're just dressing as a woman, it's no different than, oh, I don't know, black.
[00:34:45] Ooh.
[00:34:46] Adam: Ooh, that's controversial. Michelle, I'm offended. Yeah,
[00:34:51] Michelle: go ahead. And yet, Anheuser Bush had Dylan Mulvaney, as we talked about last week, on top of their [00:35:00] ad. The woman behind the Bud Light Marketing ad said she wanted to update the company's fraty image and reboot. Out of touch clientele.
[00:35:10] So she pretty much insulted anybody who is already drinking Bud Light. So the problem this lady is
[00:35:17] Adam: also a Harvard grad, by the way, who she was obviously subjected to a lot of indoctrination throughout her own coursework. She's a Harvard grad who came in thinking she knows better. And I wonder if she even drinks Bud Light or drink Bud Light, because she was concerned about Bud Light as a brand.
[00:35:31] Losing market share, but the reality
[00:35:32] Sound bite: is they lost the public market share 5
[00:35:34] Michelle: billion. They sure have 5 billion since they announced sponsorship of this transgender Dylan. Now, the problem that I have is a bit different than. Drag queens men who just dress up because, the outlandish garish caricature of femininity.
[00:35:57] That's one thing. But Dylan claims to [00:36:00] be a woman and with, cramps and all of these y do you know that there's women who die every year of burst appendicitis because they take it as mild. Menstrual cramps, mild. Oh, menstrual cramps. And they're like, oh, I'm just having bad cramps. And then they die because their appendix bursts.
[00:36:21] This is a, being a woman is a difficult thing and thinking that you can just put on makeup. And by the way, why is it Bud Light and Nike that you have to have a white guy pretend to be a white girl? Slinging your stuff, is that just more appealing to you? Di displace women is an issue. I, Michelle,
[00:36:44] Adam: are you saying that Dylan Mulvaney modeling sports bras and yoga pants isn't attractive to you as a consumer?
[00:36:50] You're just like, oh, I, yeah, I'll buy that. I'll
[00:36:53] Michelle: buy that now. What's beyond that? Because I, I think Dylan dresses up nice and, [00:37:00]puts on the, his makeup nicely, whatever. If I were face-to-face with Dylan, I don't have a problem with, necessarily with him personally. We I'd wanna hear his story.
[00:37:13] I don't. Hurt him. I don't wanna de platform him, but I also don't want him displacing women because that's what's happening in this society and it's a dangerous trend. I have a problem with it. And so do a lot of other consumers. $5 billion loss. And that's not the only story. As we wrap up the program today we are also seeing Walmart is pulling out of Chicago.
[00:37:39] They're pulling out most of their stores half. Stores in Chicago because of crime, because of Right. Lack in insecurity. And that's not the only place. Whole Foods is the latest company to shut down stores in San Francisco. This, I think, if I remember right, this was its flagship store [00:38:00]and they're closing because of spiraling crime.
[00:38:03] When
[00:38:04] Adam: the sun. When the Sun falls and then that movie, the purge starts to happen in real life, right? Like you're like, man, we better board things up real fast and get home quickly because we don't have much time. Dude and I, that's just,
[00:38:15] Michelle: this is something I want you to take into consideration when we see a rise on, we've, Talk, we talk a lot about what happens from a left-leaning ideology and how d dangerous it is.
[00:38:25] And it is, we talk a lot about it because it's not talked about in the news, but there is a smaller segment of right-leaning people who some who sometimes go off the rails as well and that. I think is perpetuated be because of the great divide because we are not allowed to talk about things and the level of frustration with people who aren't balanced becomes very dangerous.
[00:38:50] That's why thinking people need to talk with other thinking people and respect other That's right. Thinking people who think differently than they do. And do you [00:39:00] know where I see this coming out of more than any place else is the Bible because the Bible encourages us to, Our enemies to pray for those who despitefully.
[00:39:11] Use us to open those doors of communication, to not shut down, to not cancel, to not de platform, but to love one another as Christ loved us. And that's where I wanna end the program. Amen. Bring us home, Adam.

2023 04 09 - WEEKEND REVIEW - Virture Bullying
[00:00:00] One-. Let's review the week with Adam R. And here's Michelle.
[00:00:12] Well,
[00:00:20] our co-host.
[00:00:29] Spin it and report it to you, and we share the God story. Believe me, there is a God story in it all. Hey Adam. Hey, Michelle. Great to be with you. It's been quite a week. Indeed. And you know what, thank God that there's a God story, because sometimes these, these, these things that take place are just so, they're, they're head scratchers.
[00:00:49] They, they make us carry a little bit of extra weight on our shoulders, and we're just like, man, how do we deal with this? How do we come to terms with the things that are, that are playing, you know, in the news? So Michelle, I know we have some crazy [00:01:00] stories to cover today. I know we have a lot to unpack.
[00:01:02] Uh, let's get to it, shall we? All right. Well, today's episode and weekend review is an expose on bullying. Trust me, we understand as Americans, we are feeling bullied. Uh, we may have something to say or concerns about things that are happening in the world around us. Turns out, if you don't walk lockstep with what's being perpetuated, then you are bullied.
[00:01:30] You're batted down. You're not allowed to share your views, you are discontinued, you are denied. And that is part of the problem. And we are definitely going to take it on today. No one here will be denied. That's right. Denied. Oh, I love that. That guy. He's, he's, he's just the best deni ever. Big props. Uh, he's so good.
[00:01:53] Big voice guy. Matt Profs. Mr. Denied. Yeah, Michelle, I mean, nobody likes a bully. You know, we've, we've seen ad [00:02:00] campaigns come out that try to raise awareness around bullying, and frankly, a lot of those, once upon a time were funded by the government. As funny as that is, because now it feels like the American public is being bullied.
[00:02:11] Our governmental institutions. I, I, I can't believe what we experienced this week, um, seeing frankly, a president indicted and arraigned on a seven year old charge that ra, frankly, it seems to have been kind of elevated from a misdemeanor to a felony, but at the same time, very hollow charges, uh, a lack of evidence kind of, uh, charges based around.
[00:02:34] He witness statements that have basically been exposed is also being lies too. So, you know, can you imagine we're just living our lives and then all of a sudden someone doesn't like us and that's, that person decides to run for a position as a district attorney. And may, maybe it's because I dated that guy's girlfriend once upon a time and he's just like, you know what?
[00:02:52] I hate that Adam Guy. Well, I'm gonna become dis. And then I'm gonna just make up a charge and charge him with something just to make [00:03:00]his life a little bit more difficult. Michelle, I think that's what we've kind of experienced really with President Trump. We've seen this da run a, a campaign to get elected saying, this is the guy, I will find the crime.
[00:03:12] And Letitia James, the attorney general of the state, did the same thing. And she found nothing on President Trump as an individual. Sam, uh, they didn't find that. Yeah, it was a total failure. They did find that the cfo, f of the Trump organization as an individual was committing shame on him. Shame on him.
[00:03:30] Pay your taxes, bro. But nothing. There was nothing on President Trump and now DA of New York City, Alvin brag. This guy is a political, um, I would say operative. He's not doing his job. He's letting repeat offenders, violent repeat offenders free every day to go and commit terrible crimes to murder innocent people in his city.
[00:03:51] Because he's so preoccupied with his orange man, bad must find Trump guilty of something. Send. I'm just gonna make. Like [00:04:00] an ailment. Right. That, that's, that's the term. Must find Trump orange man. Bad. He's guilty of something. Syndrome. And, and so that's what we're dealing with. We're he's be we're watching this guy be bullied.
[00:04:09] And guys, this is the concern. This can happen to any one of us. Yeah. And any one of us. If it can happen to him, it can happen to me and you. They picked a target that most of us don't care if he's bullied because, you know, we look at Trump and we go narcissist, or, you know, and, and not everybody, but certainly a lot of Americans see what's reported.
[00:04:30] They hear what Trump says and they go, yeah, fine. Go after him. Uh, not to be balanced. We saw that a lot with Hillary Clinton. You know, it's like if indict her, indict her, we're okay with that. Right. One of the reasons why it may have been good that that kind of went away and so did she, is because of the political unrest in America.
[00:04:52] No one should be above the law. Absolutely no one. But when you pinpoint somebody, uh, you know, go about it [00:05:00] legally, don't tweak and change the laws or the statute of. Uh, and, and be unbalanced because when you do, you upset. A very fragile, uh, put together country that we're in right now. You know? Great.
[00:05:20] That's solid base of the US but we're fragile right now and horrifically divided. But here is what happens when you get all stupid Donald Trump, his campaign has surpassed 4 million. Dollars after this indictment. So we're, if you would've just let it alone, he would've gone away with Hillary somewhere.
[00:05:44] They'd be out, you know, in the, in the Adirondacks camping and saying, gosh, we could have, we could have ruled the world. You imagine in the way Hillary is like camping in her white pants suit. Oh my gosh. Yeah. He, he. $4 [00:06:00]million in 24 hours since the indictment. I mean, people are fired up about this because they know that, that we are next, right?
[00:06:07] Like this could happen to all of us. So it's, it's great to see really the grassroots, which the, the grassroots are the people that vote. The grassroots are all of us. Who come together and align around issues and try to fight for what's right. And we're seeing now people coming together and, and really putting their wallet where it counts and saying, all right, well, we have to make sure that we have enough money in our political machine to tee things up for 2024.
[00:06:31] Because, you know, George Soros has a lot of money and so do the, so does the far left. They have a lot of money that they, they all kind of pull together and the left, you know, they're different. They think kind of like sheep, which means they follow one. And they support that flag till the end, right? With with us libertarians, conservatives, we're independent thinkers.
[00:06:50] We have more internal disagreements because we all, you know, the whole live and let live thing, man. Like there's some truth to that. And so we think and act differently. Our psychographics are different than [00:07:00]the way that the left operates. And so when it comes to us trying to win and compete against a very, I would say, aligned.
[00:07:07] We we're, we're kind of bad at that, right? So, you know, now I think it's important that we come together and we rally behind a, a select group of leaders as we lead ourselves towards the primary, whether it's gonna be Trump or DeSantis or, or whoever it might be, Michelle Mendoza. Um, we have to make God help us if we're that bad off.
[00:07:26] But you know what, the reluctant leader is sometimes the best leader, right? That's, that's who George Washington was. You're right, because there's hum at least some humility there. There's some, uh, idea that, you know, I'm not ready for this. Uh, and there's a reliance on maybe something greater. But when we have a, uh, legislature and a white.
[00:07:46] Filled with narcissism and, uh, elitism, man, look where it's gotten us. Not in a good place. Not in a good place. Not in a good place at all. And we're seeing that. So once we get, go ahead. Well, I was just gonna say, once we get past the [00:08:00] primaries, guys, we have to stand in line against our chosen candidate.
[00:08:05] And the thing is, is if we don't do that, we're gonna see another Biden esque White House. Maybe it'll look a little bit more, you know, gq, maybe, maybe it's a Biden esque White House disguised as Gavin Newsom. That would be terrible. But it could happen. Can you imagine? Like, I mean, they would've to be like bringing in like truckloads of hair gel way.
[00:08:22] We just, you would just see like this caravan of, of hair gel going from California to DC and, and everybody would be mourning as well as one of the stories that we laid out this week is how there is a mass exodus from California and that's affecting, affecting their school system. Seriously. When you have a public school, you're funded based on how many bodies.
[00:08:45] You have inside now, how well you're doing or how well you're performing, or if they can read, write, or do simple math, uh, you know, maybe pretty soon seeing how they relate to bipo issues, that might be the issue. [00:09:00]But right now it's based on butts and seats and those butts. Are being moved to blue states.
[00:09:07] That's a big problem for California, for their school funding. And it's a big problem for Newsom. I mean, if he were to run for president, where do you go? We're the last bastion of freedom. We're the, we're the last. We're we're the last, I'm sorry. They're moving from blue states to, to red states. I, I misquoted that.
[00:09:26] Uh, but we, we read your mind though. We know what you're saying. You knew what it was showing. I know what you're saying. So where do you go? We're the last bastion of, of freedom in the world. You know, there's no more places to. Put your butts. The other problem is sometimes they're bringing, you're finding that in Texas they're bringing their dumb politics with them.
[00:09:48] Oh, I know. And it's not working. If it didn't, well, it's actually there. It's not working in their new dudes. Oh yeah. I have so many neighbors that are, that are fresh here from California and Michelle, I kind of imagine you over there in Seattle, kind of like the [00:10:00] Alamo back when like Texas was still part of Mexico.
[00:10:02] And it's just like you're like in there and like, it's like you're just like kind of like fighting the good fight and you're just like, I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up. Give me liberty or give me death. Like that's pretty much it, you know? But I, and I'm like, over here in Texas, I'm just like, I'll send, I'll send reinforcements.
[00:10:21] Yeah. Reinforcements are like, I'm not going there. Exactly. They're like, On the way to Seattle, we're gonna get stabbed in San Francisco. Like just that, that Bob Lee tech executive, you know here about dude. So sad. Yeah. The, who was the, do you remember his name? Yeah, his name was Bob Lee. In, in the office.
[00:10:40] They would call him crazy Bob. And this is a guy who, you know, just a young guy, 43 years old. He worked, he worked as a, as I believe, a developer for, for Android at one point. And he developed the Cash app. He's the founder of Cash App. He had, uh, board positions with, oh, I think he worked, uh, with On Square over there with Jack Dorsey.
[00:10:56] I mean, he knew all of, he knew and worked with all of the, the big [00:11:00]names of, of Silicon Valley. And he moved outta San Francisco recently to Miami because he described the city. Basically. He said that it declined to being a cesspool, and he's got, he's got two young daughters and he just didn't want to raise his kids in that environment.
[00:11:13] So he moved to Miami. He was back in San Francisco for a work trip. He extended his trip by one day. And the day that, that, that last day basically was his last day. He was stabbed twice at like two 30 in the morning out, uh, actually outside the Google headquarters over there at a really posh area of San Francisco.
[00:11:31] And, um, he stumbled around the street. No Splash, tried to go. There's no posh area anymore. Right, exactly. Yeah. If you walk the streets, it's just like here in Seattle. Well, in this entire block though, they, the, basically the big tech companies were paying private security to, to look after these buildings.
[00:11:46] And despite having private security at almost every building on that street, this guy was stabbed twice. He stumbled down the street, tried to get help from someone who basically denied him help. They drove off and then he died basically on the street, you know? Very, very sad. And, [00:12:00]and that's just the reality of, frankly, cities that are out of touch with what the people need when they, when they start to put in power district attorneys who don't want to actually put criminals behind bars mm-hmm.
[00:12:10] And uphold the law. It's, it's really, really sad to see what's going on. But they're, they're really letting the, the inmates run the asylum in these kind of places. Well, let's look at how that's playing out real time with the border crisis. Oh, did I say that wrong? Is on that list that we're gonna be talking about.
[00:12:26] I don't know if you're allowed to say crisis things that you don't say. Uh, Mior is refusing to call the borders. The border surge. A crisis surge. Yeah. It's a surge. Yeah. It's a situation guys. It's about a crisis. Yeah. So that would indicate a withdrawal from our mission, but yet as the, we are not calling it a crisis.
[00:12:47] Apparently it was a crisis for eight bodies that were found at migrants. These are migrants that were. Along the northern border, they were attempting to get into the us uh, [00:13:00] illegally. Of course, we don't care about them and they don't really matter. I mean, look, dude, I am cool with a lot of people coming into the country.
[00:13:10] I'm not of one of those that says we can't afford it. We can't. Right. I'm, I. Fine with a surge of good people, a surge of hardworking people. A surge of people, you know, especially from the southern border. When they come with their, with their faith values, they do tend to, I'm sorry to say for you guys tend to be more conservative, so it's biting you in the butt.
[00:13:32] But these are people who oftentimes have a, a, an incredible family and work and faith ethic. Fine, bring them. Legally bring them legally in legally, because legally when you do, you protect them and you protect us. But this is sad. Eight bodies along the northern border attempting to illegal immigrate into the us.
[00:13:56] So that's, that's just what's going on there. And it's interesting, Michelle, [00:14:00] too. Nothing to see. It's not, it's not a crisis. But you know what, it's, it's also people, not just from Latin America trying to come here in Central America, but we're getting Chinese nationals coming across the border. We're getting people that are from countries that are at risk for high terrorist threats.
[00:14:13] Mm-hmm. You know, the, the people that are coming through the border right now are so unvetted. And that is the cri The crisis is gonna be, this sucks to, to like look at in my crystal ball here, but there's gonna be a, a domestic act terrorism that's going to take place, not just the, the wave of fentanyl coming into our communities right now from China via the border, but we're gonna have some sort of terrible national, I think, act of terrorism that's gonna take place.
[00:14:36] And it's gonna be funded by a fort, an adversary. And I don't know if it's gonna happen. Next year or the next 10 years. But it's going to, it's gonna literally relate back to right now. It's gonna, it's gonna, it's, it's gonna relate back to this moment in time. And we're gonna ask ourselves, oh my God, when it happens, we're gonna ask ourselves, oh my gosh, how did this happen?
[00:14:53] Well, how the heck did nine 11 happen? I mean, We let people into our country that weren't vetted, they went to pilot training classes [00:15:00]in our, in our country, and then they hijacked some airplanes and, you know, destroyed the lives of thousands of Americans. I mean, that's the kind of, that's, we have to think like that when it comes to choosing who we allow into our country's.
[00:15:11] It's really disturbing, Adam. I love you, brother, but it's disturbing when you do that, when you confuse the matter with, It's just really, I just, I dunno what to do with that. I hate facts and logic. You know, I wish I could just like, I wish it was just like pugs and bagel bites, you know? Like if I had no thoughts about pugs and bagel bites, I would sleep better at night.
[00:15:31] But in fact, I'm sitting here at night and I'm thinking about like, what's gonna happen next? And that's how we should think about everything that that takes place in our society, right? That's how we protect our kids. Like if we pass this. If this, then, then that, right? If this, then what's gonna happen, right?
[00:15:45] Um, there's not enough thought behind, you know, a lot of the activities and, and frankly, decisions that our lawmakers make. And, and that's the bad thing, right? If you, if, if you see some of the legislation that, that our lawmakers actually sponsor, and then you ask them specific questions about that [00:16:00] legislation, oftentimes you'll find them with big question marks in their eyes.
[00:16:03] They're just like, um, I, I, I signed off. And that goes to what we talk about every freaking week is your worldview. When your v worldview comes to a place where you're going, uh, you're drooling on yourself and you, you don't really know what to say, well, then your worldview breaks down pretty quickly.
[00:16:24] Maybe it's not a very solid worldview, right. Just. Saying as we talk about bullying this week, we have been bullying the next generation. We have been indoctrinating them and bullying families, parents into absolute submission and compliance. And I wanted to just talk, uh, briefly on an economic level of how that's.
[00:16:47] Affecting our country and our kids. So one thing that's been happening, businesses are struggling. They're finding that, uh, the young generation, there was never a thing before [00:17:00] of ghosting your employer, where I just decided I'm not gonna go to work anymore. You don't quit. You don't give a two weeks notice.
[00:17:07] The silent quit. You don't go. You just don't go. And that's a thing. It was not a thing in your generation. In my generation, it wasn't a thing, you know? Nope. You had to man up or woman up and go, I don't wanna work here anymore. I'm out. Right, right. Um, but that's right. But now we're seeing that small businesses, not, not just because of that, but for a number of reasons.
[00:17:30] The economy for one, are filing for bankruptcy at a record rate. Ever we're doing is not working. So this is really sad. So in order to save their businesses, this is what bosses are having to do. Bosses want hard workers. They want people who are going to help them stay in business because this is hard economic times.
[00:17:53] So who are they? That's right. Gonna call now. It's not Ghostbusters Gen. It. Old [00:18:00] people, they're hiring old people. I don't know who they consider old, but Yeah. Right. Like it's not Gen Z. We'll just say that. And it's say of, of the millennials, it's a lot of people who are older, the Gen Xers, even the boomers.
[00:18:17] They wanna hire these folks because they'll get or done well. So I can relate to that too. You know, so I, I, this was a couple years ago, I had some hiring problems and it was really just the, the caliber of people that we were hiring, you know, they were either, they were fresh outta school, they didn't really understand like how to work an eight hour day.
[00:18:36] Um, you know, and when you have a full-time job, your eight hour day might actually be more like a 10 hour day depending on what's, what that position is, right? And so I was like, why, why are we having such a problem here? You know what? Then all of a sudden I was like, you know what, we need to hire a someone who's a mom, like we need to hire someone who's a mom.
[00:18:51] Thank you. Because that woman knows how to work under pressure. That's right. She can handle a baby. Probably nursing a [00:19:00] baby, another kid screaming in the background, something burning on the stove, someone out the front door and she's got it, you know? Yeah. We found a mom who, she had four kids. And, uh, you know, four kids, two of 'em were, were, were older and two of 'em were still kind of working their way through middle school.
[00:19:15] And she got it done, man. I mean, she put in the hours, she put in the time she, she took care of her family. She did not like let go of any obligations. The the point is, is the, the, the understanding of responsibility and, and living up to commitments. Moms can. And, and obviously I'm generalizing here. I know not every mom is supermom, but, but many are.
[00:19:36] And so yeah, when it comes to making hiring decisions, I think it's a total mistake to discount, um, hiring a mom or hiring an older person. Someone who has literally jumped into the workforce, gained experience. They've made their own mistakes in the past, right? Maybe they did their no call, no show once upon a time and, and suffer the consequences for it.
[00:19:54] You hire some, some green bean fresh outta school, right? They still have a lot to learn. And, and so I think that small [00:20:00] businesses right now, and I can. It. It times are hard for small businesses. Joe Biden made things very, very difficult for us. Covid was, we got through Covid. Right now we're dealing with Joe Biden.
[00:20:09] And Joe Biden might be worse than Covid. I think he is. So is there a mask for that? I, I could use a face bikini for that, right? So I would just say small businesses. If you're, if you're having a hard time hiring, go find a mom and, and, and like that will change your world. There you go. There you go. So what's happening when we have bullying of the ne of parents?
[00:20:32] Over the next generation and they're indoctrinating. We're seeing a lot of that in trans bullying. Trans bullying is a huge thing and there is backlash. Some of it good, some of it weird, but. Uh, when we talked about the N H L and how they decided to have pride night, now I was, last night, I, you can't see my shirt, but my, my shirt is my team, the Kraken, um, the latest n [00:21:00] Hhl team, the 32nd team of of the league.
[00:21:03] They won a p. Lace and the playoffs. First time in franchise history. I love the name. The Kraken years. Kraken Release, the Kraken. Uh, I was there. It was exciting. Last night was Green Night and it was sponsored by Boeing. They gave everybody seeds. They had a really cool looking jersey with green stuff on it.
[00:21:23] Um, we're there in climate pledge arena? Well, some of the issues, concern. Green stuff are a little over the top. They're making money for certain people. They're not always well thought out still. It's something that everyone can get behind. Everybody wants a clean environment. Everybody, whether you are a left.
[00:21:44] Wing, you know, people don't belong on the planet or if you're a right wing, cons, conserv, someone who's more of a conservatory. Let's conserve the planet. Let's be good stewards. We are still playing on the same team, right? We could be trash the planet. [00:22:00] And so that was a night that everybody enjoyed. We could get behind, we could, we could be excited about.
[00:22:05] People are gonna go home and plant seeds. It doesn't matter. Where you go to church, what you identify as, or what your political ideology is, right? It, it was, it was all cool. It was all good. But the trans night, uh, it's not just about everyone. There's a place for everyone in hockey. Hockey is for everyone.
[00:22:22] It's, it's a slogan. It's not about that. Of course, it's for everyone. No one should be discluded or felt uncom to made, be made uncomfortable. They're earn in a place on the team and. Friend. Then you love them and you love them harder. That's great. There should be no bullying of trans people or anybody else for that matter.
[00:22:45] But now we're seeing trans bullying. If you don't adhere to every part of. Their agenda then, you know, if you say, you know, partner with whoever you want to love who you want, want, but marriage [00:23:00] in, in the church setting at least should be between a man and a woman. God, set that up. Don't ask me. Talk to him.
[00:23:06] If I don't believe in mutilating children, if I don't step lock guard. Well, you're a bigot. That's not okay. Those nights are not good, and now we are putting it on the next generation. How about for your little son going to build a bear because now they have a build A bear has a RuPaul bear. Yeah, I, so this thing's $56, which is not my first problem with this stupid bear.
[00:23:36] Like, okay, this is insane. So build a bear. I'm gonna just, can I just say something that Build Bear please. That build a bear right there that you're seeing. If you're watching, if you're not, go to my Michelle Live dot. Com that build to bear with the big fake blonde wig, uh, gender appropriation kind of a thing.
[00:23:52] I don't care. It's, that's a fun, that's literally a fun bear. Just overpriced. But I bet you that bear doesn't have a [00:24:00] penis. I bet that bear does not have a penis. Probably a fair. So this is a tr So, okay, so I guess RuPaul is a, not a trans, but drag. So this is a drag bear. Um, it's, it's, um, like where do I start, Michelle?
[00:24:19] I mean, like, I would never buy a drag queen bear for my child, ever, like build a bear. I know they, their customer demographic is obviously pilgrim afford it. Yeah, but people that can afford it, it's a $56 bear. You know? I mean, once upon a time you might buy a build a bear for like a girlfriend or something like that, you know, if you're trying to be lovey dovey sweet.
[00:24:42] But I don't know that a drag queen bear really is on target, frankly, for the brand too. I just don't know that this really does a lot for the brand, unless they're just trying to like, you know, juice the, and track community for some, for some cash real fast. You know, I. You've seen This goes beyond build a [00:25:00] bear though too.
[00:25:00] I mean, we, we just saw Bud Light put Dylan Mulvaney on their can. You know, so now you have a trans per can, but, but that's for adults and we'll talk about that in a minute difference. But there's things like Drew RuPaul's drag race paper dolls. There's, uh, RuPaul's Fisher Price for crying out loud and.
[00:25:22] Okay. They're calling me just crossing the line. What they're calling crossing the line, isn't it? I don't know if I have a picture of it. Drag Queen Barbie. The problem I have with this is I, you know, adults play with now, uh, haven't grown up. We play with, with dolls too. We do the collect. Vegetables, we will call 'em.
[00:25:39] That's fine. Right. But the funny thing is that Barbie just looks like a Barbie with an outstanding over the top outfit. Let's grant it. And that's cool. You know, that's fine for adults, but to say, well, this is a trans Barbie. It really isn't because that Barbie doesn't indeed. No, it doesn't have a penis.
[00:25:59] Also, [00:26:00] Michelle, the problem too. No, no, no, no. Oh, I love that one. The, the other problem too is this really calls attention to the truth of what's happening here. And it's, it's, it's leading to, it's the sexualization of children. You know, you're, you're basically trying to room kids towards seeing women this way.
[00:26:18] Um, with these over sexual, ah, yes. Over the top hair haircuts and these. You know, oversized inproportionate busts, right? Like, you know, every woman is different. And to say that, you know, this conformity here, this definition, this image and depiction of a woman is what you should live up to, especially for, you know, a little girl who's trying to figure out the world, um, or, or a little boy is trying to figure out the world.
[00:26:42] I mean, it, it, it's, it's crazy that these brands are signing up for this, that they're investing money into these campaigns and into these. And frankly it's irresponsible. And, and I know this leads us to, to Budweiser, Anheuser Busch, uh, paying this new trans star, Dylan Mulvaney, tons of, he came out of [00:27:00] nowhere and has only been in out nowhere woman for what, less than a year or something?
[00:27:05] The Saturn 365 days or something like that. I know, I know. He's been counting. So this. To me, this is, this is nuts. Um, because what, this is total gender appropriation. Dude has a a, what, what do they call that? Bulge when they say woman has a bulge? Well, he, he, he's called bulge. He, he literally had a TikTok video about normalizing the bulge, um, and his shopping the mouth bowl and Uhhuh.
[00:27:31] Well, yeah, I think he did some, some, uh, cosmetic surgery to kind of shave that down a little bit. I know he did, he had like a procedure to sort of feminize his face. Um, and, and now here he is dressed like Audrey Hepburn and this skinny little dude who, um, you know, obviously is, is finding a way to monetize the social contagion.
[00:27:49] You know, what if, what if years from now we find, we read like the biography of Dylan Mulvaney and he's like, I totally screwed over society and got super rich doing it. Well, well of course, of [00:28:00] course it did. I mean, right. Dylan here, uh, gets. Contract with Bud Light. But what I have a problem with it, it's, it, this kind of behavior takes women back against a hard fought bias.
[00:28:17] And here's why. One of the videos that it did was, To say that Dylan did was to say, oh, March Madness. I guess that has something to do with sports. I'm gonna tell you why that pisses me off to no end, because as a sports reporter, I've had to fight hard against bias, right? I've had to go into a, a locker room situation and get flashed by, by the, the guys there.
[00:28:48] I don't think women belong in that in the locker room anyway, while they're dressing. And I, you know, I won't complain about that other than I didn't wanna see your, your junk dude. But what I will complain about is going into a [00:29:00]pressor and the, the director of communications for a minor league hockey team said, well, you know, I think your questions show a certain naivete.
[00:29:11] Why? Because I have breasts. Yeah. Pretty much. Right, right. That's the thing. We've had to fight hard to be more than just, hi, I'm cute and I'm gonna introduce the boys who are. We've had to really fight hard and now we have someone pretending to be a woman perpetuating stereotypes of women that are harmful.
[00:29:34] I wrote to Bud Light, and I'm gonna put a link on wherever you're listening to this, to connect with Bud Light and to tell them why they, you think that perpetuating. Uh, kind of person is a harmful thing for women. I don't care what Dylan wants to do, but to normalize it, that kind of stereotype of women, I dunno.[00:30:00]
[00:30:03] Is that a football? Like Yeah, it's a freaking football. Can I, yeah. Can I ask you a question? Just Yeah, just gimme what you think on this. So on top of everything, bud Light and even Nike, why is it that you have to perpetuate this with a white transgender woman? Why? White transgender woman getting all of the attention.
[00:30:27] Why don't we see a bipo person? Why do you take a stereotype of a white chick? Right, right. That's a fair question. Right? That's a fair question. All right, but that's what this, I need to step down from my soapbox. It's all, Hey, it's a good, it's a good. Hey, it's a, it's, it's a justified soapbox, Michelle. I mean, you did work your butt off, especially, you know, as a sports reporter.
[00:30:49] And so to see this person, this, this man disguised as a woman sitting here trying to water down basically everything that you worked to basically have credibility. [00:31:00] And, and knowledge behind. Um, oh, is that March Madness? Is that a basketball competition? Yes, it's a basketball competition. Everyone knows it.
[00:31:08] I mean, it, it's, it's a huge problem and it's, it's just, it's, I'm not saying that there's not women, and I have lots of friends who would say that, but I'm gonna tell you what. I have guy friends who will say March madis. What do you mean they don't know? Sure. They don't care about sports and that's fine, but it is a stereotype of women.
[00:31:26] It's a stereotype. Yeah. The last job exactly that I was at, many of, you know what it was. I left for that very reason because I was doing sports and, and they said, I don't know if we're really comfortable with a woman doing sports. Okay. Thank you very, very much. Thank you. Sounds like discrimination. Well, yes.
[00:31:44] Yeah. Like even if she's capable and even if she asks fantastic questions and if the audience loves her, yeah. We think, yeah, maybe we should have a, a dude fill that role. Really, dude, that that's, that's so absurd. Some, I mean, some of the best sports reporters are women. Um, some of the best sideline reporters are women.[00:32:00]
[00:32:00] Like that's just the bottom line. Yeah, it it, it's been hard spot. So, uh, what's March Madness and what we're seeing in sports as well is the Supreme Court made a ruling in West Virginia that a transgender athlete could compete on a female sports team. So there was a law in 2021. Funny how fast all of this has exploded.
[00:32:21] It is, but uh, it was, it designated sports teams at public schools and universities according to their biological sex. Well, SCOTUS denied West Virginia's request to lift an injunction. There was an injunction against that. So this, uh, young af. Fleet could compete as a woman. Uh, and so Becky Pepper and Johnson denied it.
[00:32:42] Yeah. And so the Supreme Court really provided no justification for its action. This does not mean it makes it the law of the land. Uh, pretty much the talk now is that yeah, this is probably gonna have to go to the Supreme Court. I don't think trans people want it to, because. [00:33:00] It is going to cause such a feather with women who are being displaced.
[00:33:06] Here's how you could accelerate that, right? So you could literally have the entire, like you could literally have the entire L S U men's basketball team identify as women. Go to the women's side of the bench and then just crush the ncaa, you know, just crush it. Um, like you can literally, like, we could stand against this by basically calling attention to how ridiculous it is, right?
[00:33:27] Have a bunch of dudes fill an entire line, like an, an entire bench. Um, uh, and just say, oh yeah, well, we're, we're women today there was actually a building competition where a body building coach, uh, entered the competition. He's a male. Yes. You you saw that, right? And, and then basically said he was a female for the day.
[00:33:43] Crushed the competition, won it. And then obviously like was just trying to call attention to the UNC together. And he did and he did a great job in doing that. Clarence Thomas, um, said in asking the high court to allow, uh, the law to take effect while the case plays [00:34:00] out. Um, he told. The justices that this case implicates a question fraught with emotions and differing perspectives.
[00:34:09] True words, right? That is all the more reason to defer to state lawmakers pending appeal. Yeah, the decision was the West Virginia legislatures to make the end of this litigation will continue, uh, and will confirm that it made a valid one. And I agree with him because we're seeing cray cray happen all over.
[00:34:34] Just as Thomas is doing, he's basically reinforcing the power of individual states to make decisions for their jurisdictions. He's trying to basically defer the federal government's ability to impose things on the entire country. And, and you, you saw the same thing with, with abortion. People were like, oh my gosh.
[00:34:49] You just, you just basically outlawed abortion for every single state. No, the, the Supreme Court returned the power back to the states, and I think that's what Justice Thomas wants to do. Oh, it's easy to say that when you're an ignorant [00:35:00] nation. Uh, but it's not just our nation. Canada, in Ontario, they proposed to build, to build L G B T Q safe zones and find people $25,000.
[00:35:11] If they say something that someone doesn't like, what is that abut? Come on. You know, it's like, oh well hurt feelings are now illegal. Oh, did I hurt your feeling? No, no, no, no. Did I hurt your feelings? Oh, do you wanna hug? Like, like, it's like the sentence for that is like, you must now give them 25 hugs. I prefer that.
[00:35:35] I would absolutely prefer that we could do with a lot more hugging. I am not gonna lie. So yeah, we're seeing a lot of crazy things. There's a conservative activist, if you know, billboard. He appear, this is um, up in Canada as well, just north of me in Vancouver, BC He was apparently violently attacked. I'll see if I can find, at least find the [00:36:00] picture for those of you who are watching.
[00:36:01] And if you are, remember you can go to my michelle live.com. You can re-listen to this if you're listening live. We clean things up. I mean, not that we're bad, but you know, there we make, make it sound more professional, at least. I don't know how we try to, yeah, we sort of polish up our absurdities, but, um, you know, sometimes we're just like, delightfully imperfect.
[00:36:24] Why not? It's okay. You know, we're humans. So why, why do you think they're, that they're getting that kind of representation? Uh, Pierce, I mean, attack, it's, uh, clearly was, uh, aggressive violence. You sucked. You sucked. You, you're not wanted. I don't think it's showing up really well, but the guy, you can see, he's totally attacked by the throat there.
[00:36:47] Billboard, Chris? Yeah. Appeared to be violently assaulted. Okay. So they called in the, the police and the police. After he gets, you know, throttled at the [00:37:00] neck, uh, the police argued that both sides were at fault. Uh, they pushed back on Billboard Kris's claim that he was peacefully protesting at the trans rally, and they charged both.
[00:37:14] So it's like, yeah. Wow. I mean, it's on video. That's so stupid. I gotta say. Um, the Canadian political violence seems way more polite than some of the American political violence. It's certainly more than the French too. Like, Hey buddy, like, there's so many, get down for that podium buddy. They're so nice up there.
[00:37:33] I'm not gonna lie, you know, but we're, we're dropping F-bombs and C words and they're just like, Hey, friend. Stop that. Stop that, eh, like, man, we can take some notes from them. They, they, you know, it's like they got the Manners class. I guess we missed that one. Oh my gosh. Right? No kidding. Tell jump down from that buddy.
[00:37:53] Tell us about manifestation of what is Oh, oh yeah. Words of violence. Right. Impressive words of violence. So Poli, you know, [00:38:00]Politico has basically this list of words that you can't say. Um, they're trying to urge their writers to avoid certain terms. And, you know, Michelle, these are, these are terms that are just so offensive, right?
[00:38:12] They're so offensive and violent. Words like mankind. Words like biological ma uh, male words that basically are violent and, and basic. Basically impact those who identify as trans. Um, so wait a minute. If you identify as a biological male and you want to be identified as a biological male, according to Politico, they're not allowed.
[00:38:36] You're not allowed to to say that. No. It's assigned. Basically, you have to say, Basically assigned at birth. Like you were assigned male at birth, you were assigned female at birth. You're not a biological male. You're not a biological female. You're not a mother. You're a birthing person. You were assigned male at birth, you were assigned female at birth teachers.
[00:38:54] It's all about, I have another question. So what happened to, oh gosh, [00:39:00]how many years ago was it? Maybe. Eight years ago now to the march for Science and how their science deniers. What happened to that? Are you talking about science or the science? Oh, you know, okay. It's so, this is crazy. It's like, but you see now how Politico has been exposed, just like NPR recently got.
[00:39:22] Exposed for really kind of being an echo and really just kind of a, an amplifier for the left's narrative. Their, their, their efforts to quote, elevate trans voices. You know, why do you have to elevate trans voices? How about you just elevate the best, most factual voices, you know, and, and bring awareness to maybe the.
[00:39:41] The less good, less factual voices. You don't need to elevate any particular group. You need to elevate truth in the facts, but Politico as a source of journalism is failing to do that. Now with this, this PC crap list that basically makes writers water down what they really want to use to describe certain stories that take place.[00:40:00]
[00:40:00] You can't even say third world countries anymore. With Politico, they want you to say things like, um, well, they think it's, it's a derogatory term first of all. Um, but I guess developing countries is more of a, a PC term for that. I mean, It's, it's, it's just really crazy to see how we're getting away from truth and using this war of words to sort of continue to fuel the ridiculous social contagion that's taken over our country.
[00:40:23] Well, it certainly is an attack on freedom of speech. To be able to say what you wish to say with the words you wish to say, uh, void of maybe those seven words or they'll, that'll get you, uh, fined on by the fcc. Right. Well, those, those swear words exactly. Well, so, so Michelle, just, just, here's one, one more thing from the Politico story.
[00:40:48] Um, cuz there's a guide in here for, for reporters to, to turn to. Um, and so basically the author of the guide, she said that, uh, when describing abortion issues, consider using gender neutral language like people who [00:41:00]seek abortions or patients who seek abortions rather than women who seek abortions as there are non-female identifying people who are able to become pregnant.
[00:41:11] Okay, so, and like this is, this is literally what we've come to. And this is why there's such a great pushback, and we're gonna talk a bit about how do you defeat bullies. This really is about trans bullism. Uh, there is a place where we're saying, you know, that's ridiculous. You wanna be a man. I'll tell you what, pink is for girls, and blue is for boys, is a social construct.
[00:41:37] It that's a social construct. Your gender is. And telling people that the only way that you are okay is if you, uh, dress up as something else, or you dress up in a dress and put on heels. If you lop things off and you're not beautiful the way you are, own who you are. Be it enough. [00:42:00]Feminine man, that's different for a lot of people.
[00:42:04] But okay, you shouldn't be killed. You shouldn't be put to death. You shouldn't be discriminated against if you're garish, clean it up for work. You know, here's an example.
