| Hey, everyone. | ||
| I'm filling in for Tim Pool this morning. | ||
| He is down for the count with a problem with his voice. | ||
| So I'm here. | ||
| I'm going to lead you through some stories and we'll see what we have going on. | ||
| Big news of the day so far is about Maryland Senator Chris Von Holland, who went down to El Salvador with the express purpose of trying to get Kilmar Garcia released from an El Salvadoran prison. | ||
| There's some problems with this. | ||
| However, one big problem that came up was noted by The Independent, which said that Von Holland may be in violation of the Logan Act. | ||
| So the Logan Act, as I have learned this morning, the Logan Act prevents American lawmakers from representing American interests overseas without express permission from the White House. | ||
| So that's pretty interesting. | ||
| And we had... | ||
| Do we have this up? | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| Okay. So the Department of Homeland Security has deported, we've been following this story, has deported Kilmar Garcia from Maryland. | ||
| They said that he was a member of MS-13. | ||
| A lot of people on the Democrat side were saying, no, he's not a member of MS-13. | ||
| And as things unfold and we see some of the historical documentation, it looks like there's pretty good reason to believe that he was, in fact, a gang member at the time that he was. | ||
| So, looking at this... | ||
| The Logan Act reads, | ||
| any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who without authority of the United States directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any foreign... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So that's pretty extreme. | ||
| Now, Von Hollen, a senator from Maryland, went down to El Salvador. | ||
| He met with the vice president of El Salvador. | ||
| And we can see, can we play that clip? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm here at the airport. | ||
| I'm about to board my flight for San Salvador. | ||
| The goal of this mission is to let the Trump administration, to let the government of El Salvador know that we are going to keep fighting to bring Albrego Garcia home until he returns to his family. | ||
| I hope to meet with... | ||
| Representatives of the government, I hope to have the chance to actually see Kilmar and see what his condition is. | ||
| But we are going to keep fighting because this is a miscarriage of justice. | ||
| The Supreme Court has ruled nine to zero, nine to zero, that he was illegally taken out of the country and put in a prison in El Salvador. | ||
| This is about due process. | ||
| This is about rule of law. | ||
| We can cut that out. | ||
| We can cut him off. | ||
| It's interesting that he talks about due process and rule of law when, of course, the Logan Act would indicate that he is in violation of the law himself. | ||
| So he went to meet with Vice President Felix Uloa, who I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. | ||
| The vice president said exactly what Nayib Bukele said in the White House when he was saying that absolutely they would not be returning Garcia from El Salvador to the United States. | ||
| It's sort of wild to me that this is even what's going on because you have Von Holland from Maryland who has not spoken to Patty Morin, who is the mother of Rachel Morin, who was brutally murdered in Maryland. | ||
| She was the mother of five. | ||
| She was raped. | ||
| She was murdered. | ||
| The illegal immigrant who carried out these horrible acts was convicted just recently. | ||
| And Patty Morin spoke at the White House and talked about that. | ||
| Can we play that clip? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Don't know the whole story about Rachel and about the crime that was committed against her. | ||
| Even us, her family, we didn't know all the details. | ||
| They kept most of it close to their chest, the detectives, because They didn't want to do anything to hurt the case. | ||
| They wanted to keep the integrity of the case, so they kept everything close. | ||
| I sat for the last two weeks in her trial, and we saw layer upon layer upon layer of evidence against the accused, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. | ||
| And the things that we thought, well, maybe this might have happened, we didn't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But when we were at the trial, we got all the puzzle pieces. | |
| And I want to share some of those things with you. | ||
| You know that Rachel's a 37-year-old mother. | ||
| She has five children. | ||
| We've walked the trail for the last 25 years that we've lived in Maryland. | ||
| It's a safe place for our family. | ||
| It's where we go to get a little bit of New England, because that's where we're from, New England. | ||
| When she went on that trail that day, she was not planning on dying. | ||
| She wasn't planning on walking to her death. | ||
| She was planning on going to the grocery store with her girls afterwards. | ||
| Victor Martinez, he waited for her. | ||
| He waited for her to come closer. | ||
| He saw her. | ||
| He saw that there was nobody around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He attacked her. | |
| He dragged her 150 feet, blood gushing from her head. | ||
| It left a 150-foot trail of her blood to the culverts, where he took, he picked her up, he threw her against the wall of the tunnel, and he raped her. | ||
| But before he did that, he stopped on that trail and rocks. | ||
| Still stained with her blood. | ||
| He used them to hammer her head against those rocks. | ||
| They say 20, at least 20 times they could count the cuts in her head. | ||
| They said that when they did the autopsy, and I've seen the pictures, there's a six-inch square in the back of her head where the skull is shattered the way that you would crush an eggshell. | ||
| We can stop that. | ||
| She went on for a while talking about what had been done to her daughter. | ||
| This is a constituent of Chris Von Holland. | ||
| And this constituent of Chris Von Holland, who lost her daughter to an illegal immigrant because of Biden's border crisis, has never heard from that senator. | ||
| Instead, that senator went to El Salvador to try and pressure the government of El Salvador to release an illegal immigrant to the United States who is an El Salvadoran citizen. | ||
| And he demanded that this man be returned to the United States. | ||
| He's not a citizen of the United States. | ||
| He has no business in the United States. | ||
| He is, in fact, a citizen of El Salvador. | ||
| And now he is under the jurisdiction of his home nation. | ||
| And Von Holland tried to pressure the vice president to let him go, even after. | ||
| Naid Bukhalet was in the White House with President Trump and addressed countless reporters' questions about whether or not Garcia would be returned to the United States. | ||
| What does it say about a political party that is so obsessed with bringing criminals into the country and can't even reach out to one of their own constituents who has suffered this amazing, incredible, horrifying loss, | ||
| not just to Rachel Morin's mom, but to her kids? | ||
| Just unbelievable. | ||
| And she said that she hasn't heard from Von Holland at all. | ||
| And I certainly hope that in the event that, you know, this is brought up by... | ||
| I just find that absolutely stunning. | ||
| The Logan Act, if we go back to The Intercept, it's barely been enforced over the past two centuries, as they say. | ||
| It came about in 17, rather, 1798. | ||
| It was because of Pennsylvania legislator George Logan, who went to Paris to engage in negotiations as a private citizen regarding the United States' debt to France. | ||
| So you can't do that if you're a lawmaker. | ||
| You can't just go around saying you're representing the United States without the authority of the United States backing you. | ||
| That's just not reasonable. | ||
| And yeah, I really hope that... | ||
| I really hope that Von Holland gets the book thrown at him because it's absolutely egregious what he did. | ||
| It makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| And when we look at also Garcia, so we've... | ||
| I've been seeing media has been calling him Maryland man or a Maryland dad. | ||
| And at each step of the way, more information comes out to show that perhaps this guy was not the prince that everyone is claiming that he was. | ||
| He was arrested. | ||
| He came into the country illegally 2012. | ||
| He was arrested in 2019. | ||
| Democrats will have you believe that he was picked up for loitering. | ||
| But in fact, he was picked up outside a Home Depot in Maryland where he was having a conversation, looked like a meeting with a bunch of – not a bunch – with two other MS-13 gang members. | ||
| As they were approached by officers, they threw some stuff away. | ||
| I think we have a story about this as well, | ||
| Andrew. Let's see which one was it. | ||
| Do we have it? | ||
| No, that's the clip. | ||
| But we also have... | ||
| Well, you could bring this one up. | ||
| I think I sent you guys this one. | ||
| You'll have to bear with me. | ||
| This was a last-minute thing this morning, so I'm happy to be here. | ||
| I'm still just getting all my ducks in a row, as the saying goes. | ||
| So, do you see the one about Tennessee? | ||
| Do you have that one? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. Okay. | |
| I don't know how to get it to you. | ||
| Just send it to Sean. | ||
| Okay, I will send it to Sean, and then Sean will send it to you. | ||
| Give me one second. | ||
| We also had another story. | ||
| So in 2019, and this was released yesterday, the Department of Justice, Pam Bondi, put out on Twitter arrest documents from 2019 showing exactly what went down. | ||
| Those arrest documents are pretty decisive. | ||
| They say that he was not released on bond at that time because he was believed to be a danger. | ||
| Sorry. I'm just trying to get this to you guys. | ||
| Yeah, play the Pam Bondi. | ||
| This is an extremely disturbing case. | ||
| And as a career prosecutor, it is even more disturbing. | ||
| Every American tonight should be thanking Donald Trump for making America safer by getting this guy out of our country. | ||
| I'm going to call him a terrorist because he has been designated as a member of a terrorist organization. | ||
| So this illegal alien terrorist came into our country illegally in March of 2012. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| Because he admitted that when he was stopped in 2019 by the anti-gang squad. | ||
| They stopped him at a Home Depot with three other members. | ||
| And here's what's very important. | ||
| He was wearing a sweatshirt with gang insignia on it. | ||
| The guy he was with, another MS-13 known member, had a tattoo with very similar insignia on it. | ||
| ICE declared him as a member of MS-13. | ||
| The police officers, the gang unit, declared him as a member of MS-13. | ||
| And also, they independently went to a reliable, confidential informant who said not only is he a member of MS-13, he gave them the clique, the Westerns, and he was called a Chicao, which is one of the higher-ranking MS-13 members. | ||
| So they rightfully detained him. | ||
| Rightfully. An immigration judge agreed. | ||
| An appellate immigration judge agreed. | ||
| Now here's where it gets even more frightening. | ||
| In 2021, his girlfriend previously, his wife at the time, who he had married in jail after he'd gotten numerous... | ||
| Tickets didn't show up for court. | ||
| He marries her in jail. | ||
| She has a baby with him. | ||
| And as a career domestic violence prosecutor too, I know it takes a lot for any woman to come into court and say they're a victim of domestic violence. | ||
| This woman... | ||
| Came into court twice, getting a restraining order against him, saying it's horrific. | ||
| He had beaten her. | ||
| He had punched her in the eye. | ||
| He had ripped her clothes off. | ||
| What causes a young mother to do this? | ||
| Her child was with her. | ||
| She talked about her child in the petition for an injunction for safety. | ||
| Ultimately... She didn't show up for court. | ||
| That's your typical domestic violence victim. | ||
| But this victim was even braver because she was married to one of the top MS-13 members who was illegally in our country and a terrorist. | ||
| So that's pretty interesting. | ||
| Pam Bodney really covers everything in that clip when she's talking about the 2019 case. | ||
| And at that time, Garcia was eventually released. | ||
| He was not deported at that time. | ||
| He got an order that said he could not be returned to El Salvador. | ||
| So what's interesting in that case is he – one of the things that's being complained about is that he was returned to El Salvador and people are saying he could have been sent to any other country. | ||
| The argument that he has made about why he should not be returned to El Salvador is that when he was there as a child, he was – his mother's family business. | ||
| She had a pupusa business apparently and this was targeted by gangs. | ||
| They were trying to extort her and they said, you don't have to pay us money if you – | ||
| And so he fled. | ||
| So that's, you know, that's his reasoning why he can't go back to El Salvador. | ||
| But if that's true, why was he hanging out with these gang members in 2019? | ||
| There was also another situation where in Tennessee, he was stopped by officers there in 2022. | ||
| They suspected him of human trafficking. | ||
| He had seven people in his car. | ||
| He said that he was driving to Texas. | ||
| And he also wasn't driving with a valid license. | ||
| And Christopher Wray's FBI... | ||
| They took a look at all of the photos of the men there, one of whom apparently was designated as a terrorist based on his information. | ||
| And Chris Ray's FBI said, just let them go. | ||
| So this is a man who has had several run-ins with the law. | ||
| This is a man who doesn't belong in the United States in the first place. | ||
| And for some reason, he's getting not only backing from lawmakers like Von Holland, but also... | ||
| Also, Democrats and the media at large, the Media Research Center did a study to check out how much coverage Garcia was getting, and he's getting like 100% more coverage than those outlets like PBS and others gave to the horrible story about Rachel Morin. | ||
| So it really gives you a sense that what they're trying to do here is make an example of this guy to try and say, you know, Garcia doesn't need to be deported. | ||
| He should be sent back to the United States. | ||
| And, you know, all of these other deportations should stop, too. | ||
| They don't really seem to care that the most inhumane thing is to import a bunch of people, millions and millions of people to the United States that then become the burden for American taxpayers. | ||
| So I think that's, you know, I think we can't forget that this border crisis was really brought to us by Joe Biden. | ||
| Donald Trump is trying to fix it. | ||
| He's doing a really good job so far. | ||
| This is what propelled him into the White House in 2024. | ||
| It's what propelled him into the White House in 2016. | ||
| I don't know how Americans can give a clearer message that they don't want a bunch of foreigners in the country illegally who are a draw on government resources, taxpayer resources, and are essentially committing crimes in addition to the border crossing. | ||
| That's pretty much that story. | ||
| Should we move on to another story? | ||
| Let's jump to another story. | ||
| What was the next one we were going to talk about? | ||
| Harvard. Oh, yeah, that's a fascinating one. | ||
| Oh, and don't forget that you had Biden's DHS secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, saying in March 2021, right after Biden was elected, He said this from the White House press briefing room. | ||
| He said, we're not saying don't come. | ||
| We're saying don't come now. | ||
| So these people were encouraged to come to the United States over this period of time. | ||
| And the New York Times also this morning, just one last thought on this, they put out this whole interactive graphic about migration patterns across the world. | ||
| And what it showed was that in 2022, you know, almost 4 million or a little more than 4 million So | ||
| we can talk about Harvard next, which I think actually ties into it pretty well. | ||
| Harvard has come under a lot of fire from the Trump administration. | ||
| They've had billions of dollars in funding frozen. | ||
| I think it started with $2.6 billion and now it's moving on to some more. | ||
| Trump has already called for the revocation of Harvard's tax-exempt status. | ||
| And so Harvard is taking some retaliation themselves. | ||
| Of course, they're doing that thing that people do when they want to get back at you by hurting themselves. | ||
| They are cutting back on their labs. | ||
| They are cutting back potentially on hospitals that they are funding around Boston. | ||
| And this one is Harvard Ways Killing Research Animals Due to Trump's Funding Freeze. | ||
| Katie Davis Court wrote this up for the Postmillennial yesterday. | ||
| And it's pretty wild. | ||
| The professor at the Harvard School of Public Health said that the medical research animals may have to be euthanized following the Trump administration's decision to slash $2.2 billion in federal funding. | ||
| And this, of course, is over Harvard's refusal to protect Jewish students last year and to allow anti-Semitic protests and to allow violence to unfold on campus. | ||
| And that's why Trump is going after them. | ||
| This was another campaign promise. | ||
| We're not going to allow this kind of violence on college campuses. | ||
| So the thing to remember, though, is that Harvard has a $53 billion endowment. | ||
| $2.2 billion is a fraction of that. | ||
| They could get by by funding themselves for a while, and instead they are choosing to consider killing... | ||
| Primates and lab animals rather than continue doing that kind of funding. | ||
| So, Sarah Fortune, a professor who's been conducting tuberculosis research by testing vaccines on primates, said that she received a stop work order on a $60 million contract this week, and that contract involved a dozen labs and institutions throughout the country, | ||
| and she has started weighing her options, saying, the question is, could we find resources to support them such that we don't have to euthanize them? | ||
| So we'll see what happens there, but this is what we're going to see from Harvard. | ||
| We're going to see Harvard say that they need all of this money in order to continue doing the good work that they're doing, and they're not even going to acknowledge the fact that they've been doing a lot of bad work. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| So it's interesting we see this following Columbia, although Harvard, unlike Columbia, has decided not to cave to these demands. | ||
| So Harvard's president came out and said, That he would not go along with it, that it was all about freedom of speech and academic freedom. | ||
| And this is an institution that has violated their mandate to keep their students safe and able to go to classes on campus. | ||
| Even Barack Obama has come out in favor of Harvard. | ||
| He went to Harvard. | ||
| And he said that Harvard is an example for other higher ed institutions rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, | ||
| rigorous debate, etc. | ||
| That's not what's been going on at Harvard. | ||
| Harvard has one of the lowest free speech ratings of any university in the country, according to FIRE, which I'm kind of enjoying the Ivy League wars here between Trump and Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania where he went to school and Harvard and all the rest of it. | ||
| I kind of find this to be really intriguing and fascinating because as much as I do believe that the United States should have strong institutions, I think that these institutions, these These centers of academic achievement have really been overrun by ideologues who have absolutely no business training up the next generation of America's leaders. | ||
| They teach men that they are bad. | ||
| They teach white people that they are bad. | ||
| They admit, you know, all of these international students and then let them run around on campus yelling at Jews. | ||
| I mean, it's absolutely absurd. | ||
| The country has, I think, at last count, 1.1 million international students who are in the United States, about half of those, a little more than half, something like 500. | ||
| And these are people admitted from all over the place who are supposedly vetted. | ||
| But then we come to find out that a lot of them have really violent and unpleasant ideas about the United States. | ||
| Which begs the question, why are we giving places to these foreign students instead of to American students? | ||
| We had the Supreme Court overruled affirmative action, but I certainly think some affirmative action for American students could be in order. | ||
| I think that should really be the way to go. | ||
| Why are schools admitting foreign students? | ||
| And leaving American students off. | ||
| There's been a lot of posts recently that I've seen that we've covered at the Postmillennial as well about students who have, there was one kid who had created a $30 million, an app that he sold for $30 million while he was in high school. | ||
| He had a 4.0 GPA and he wasn't admitted to any of these schools, yet they're bringing in Mahmoud Khalil, who clearly hates America. | ||
| Mohsen Malawi, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right, who was recently arrested in Vermont and is slated for deportation. | ||
| So I think these schools really need to get their act together and figure out what it is that they're trying to do. | ||
| Claiming that you're up for intellectual inquiry and rigorous debate doesn't mean much when you're refusing to be stewards of the very culture that is supporting you and the very nation. | ||
| That is giving you the freedom to do all of these things. | ||
| So we'll see what happens with the lab animals, you know? | ||
| But it really does seem like... | ||
| Harvard is trying to make it look like they are being victimized here when the only people who are being victimized are the Americans who are not being admitted to these schools because they're admitting foreign students or whoever else and the American taxpayers who are funding all of this nonsense that is leading to detrimental outcomes for our country and apparently, | ||
| you know, also for lab animals. | ||
| So we'll see what happens with that one. | ||
| Are we good with Harvard? | ||
| Should we move on to something else? | ||
| I'm also going to try and figure out, guys, how to read chats. | ||
| So I don't know how to do that. | ||
| Can you find it for me? | ||
| Andrew is helping me today because I don't know what I'm doing. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| So it's just all the stuff down the side? | ||
| Yeah, I definitely don't need to see myself. | ||
| But anyway, once we get that so that I can see what you guys are all saying, which I find fascinating, we can jump over to this other story. | ||
| There was someone in the chat from Australia, and we're going to talk about an Australian story as well. | ||
| Let me just pull that up. | ||
| And also this amazing story from the UK yesterday, which I think is absolutely... | ||
| Absolutely spectacular, in fact. | ||
| So the UK Supreme Court ruled yesterday that trans women are not women. | ||
| What's crazy is that this is exciting, because this is in fact a fact that we all knew that no one is actually particularly confused about. | ||
| The only people who claim that trans women are women are people who are willingly lying to themselves, and they're doing that on purpose in order to appease men who say that they're women, which, you know, Makes no sense. | ||
| So the UK Supreme Court has been dealing with this case from a Scottish women's group coming up against the Scottish government. | ||
| The Scottish government has implemented gender self-ID, where if you're a man and you say you're a woman, you just, you're a woman, apparently, by law. | ||
| That's what you get. | ||
| They have been working to corrupt the language, removing the word mother, making women... | ||
| Mean men who identify as women, taking the concept of parents out of the equation, all of these different things. | ||
| The Scottish women's group, they went for it and they brought this case. | ||
| At the core of this case is something called the Equality Act. | ||
| The Equality Act of 2010, which lays out protections for women. | ||
| So the governments in the UK, Keir Starmer, the head of England and also in Scotland, they have all been saying, okay, so the Equality Act means that in... | ||
| The language of the Equality Act, when we say women, we also are referring to gender. | ||
| It's not just about biological sex. | ||
| So the UK Supreme Court had this pretty narrow case that they had to deal with. | ||
| What does the language in the Equality Act of 2010 mean? | ||
| And what the UK Supreme Court decided was that the Equality Act is about biological sex. | ||
| That's what it means. | ||
| So the question before the court, I wrote about this for humanevents.com yesterday. | ||
| It was a lot of fun to write it up. | ||
| The question before the court was the meaning of the words which Parliament has used in the Equality Act 2010 in legislating to protect women and members of the trans community against discrimination. | ||
| And the Lord Hodge, who was the justice in the case, said our task is to see if those words can bear a coherent and predictable meaning within the EA 2010 consistently with the Gender Recognition Act of 2004. | ||
| So what they determined was that the definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary. | ||
| A person is either a woman or a man. | ||
| Persons who share that protected characteristic for the purposes of the group-based rights and protections are persons of the same sex and provisions that refer to protection for women necessarily exclude men. | ||
| So this is actually a huge win and the women in the UK have really been fighting tooth and nail about this. | ||
| They've gone so hard that... | ||
| I admire these women so much. | ||
| It's not just J.K. Rowling, of course, the Harry Potter author who has been very vocal about this despite the dings and hits to her career and to her reputation. | ||
| But you had Kathleen Stock, who was a professor at one of the universities there. | ||
| I think it was Sussex. | ||
| Don't quote me on that. | ||
| But she lost her career over it. | ||
| You have Helen Joyce. | ||
| You have Kelly J. Keene. | ||
| So many of these women have been fighting so hard just to have the right to say, hey, we're women. | ||
| Those fellas, they're not women. | ||
| They've been beaten up, harassed, stalked, doxxed, all of this crazy stuff. | ||
| And to see them get a win is, I'm really happy about that. | ||
| And it's taking that, I think, to maybe make an example for the rest of the Commonwealth nations. | ||
| Australia is fully captured. | ||
| Canada is fully captured. | ||
| New Zealand is in trouble itself. | ||
| The United States, of course, which is not part of the Commonwealth historically, going back, of course, to the Revolution, we're not part of that whole thing. | ||
| We've had the luck of having a president, an office who knows what women are and isn't afraid to say that, even to the extent that we are, the Trump administration, I say we because I'm in favor of this one, is suing Maine. | ||
| They're bringing a case against Maine because Maine is refusing to... | ||
| Follow the executive order that protects women in sports. | ||
| Maine has been very vocal about this. | ||
| Hannah Nightingale was writing about this for the Postmillennial yesterday, and she also discovered that Janet Mills, the governor there, her approval rating is really in the tank. | ||
| I mean, it's really not good. | ||
| So maybe she should wake up and realize what her constituents want, which is a fair playing field for women. | ||
| Really shouldn't be that hard to figure it out. | ||
| The Supreme Court in the UK did that. | ||
| The decision was unanimous, which is pretty well founded in reality. | ||
| Lord Hodge, however, said that we counsel against reading this judgment as a triumph of one or more groups in our society at the expense of another. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| So what he was saying there, too, was that this was a narrow ruling. | ||
| Is that courts are so frequently, when they are faced with these kinds of questions, more interested in delivering a narrow ruling than they are in taking a full stand, right? | ||
| Lord Hodge did not come out there and define what a woman is. | ||
| He just basically said that sex is binary, that the Equality Act is about sex, not gender. | ||
| So, of course, that leaves open the potential for the UK government to come out with some kind of gender law instead. | ||
| But in the United States, we had a similar problem, right? | ||
| The Bostock decision that came up before the Supreme Court, I think it was... | ||
| I think it was 2020. | ||
| Maybe it was 2021. | ||
| Maybe it was... | ||
| Anyway, it was... | ||
| It was within the past several years. | ||
| I don't remember the date exactly. | ||
| But the Bostock decision was about, if you recall, there was a man who went by the name Amy. | ||
| He worked at a funeral parlor. | ||
| And he wanted to wear a dress to work. | ||
| And he wanted to use the women's bathroom. | ||
| And he wanted to be referred to as Amy. | ||
| So his boss was like, you're freaking people out. | ||
| You're a front-facing person at this funeral home. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| We have grieving families here. | ||
| They don't need to be faced with, like, your gender identity. | ||
| So that ended up at the Supreme Court, where the court decided that it was discrimination on the basis of sex to deny Amy, Mr. Amy, from wearing a dress to work, because a woman would not be denied the freedom to wear a dress. | ||
| The only reason Mr. Amy was denied the freedom to wear a dress was because he was a man. | ||
| Now, in that ruling... | ||
| The court also said that it was a very narrow ruling. | ||
| They said that the ruling should not be interpreted... | ||
| Sorry. Sorry, I forgot about a different thing I was supposed to do in a little bit. | ||
| It's fine, though. | ||
| Anyway, so the Supreme Court said that this was a narrow ruling just about whether or not... | ||
| They went on to say, however, that this should not be used for bathrooms or sports or locker rooms or the word mother or any of these other controversial things that were going on in the arena of trans. | ||
| The problem with that, however, is that under the Biden administration, Bostock was cited by the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture, Health and Human Services as the reasons why they were necessarily going to implement trans-inclusive policies. | ||
| So again, it was a narrow ruling. | ||
| Here in the UK, we see a narrow ruling. | ||
| So we're going to have to see how all of this plays out. | ||
| But yesterday, outside the UK Supreme Court, there were women out there singing a women's rights song to the tune of Jerusalem, which, fun fact, was my high school's song, | ||
| also Jerusalem. | ||
| And they were out there. | ||
| They're pretty excited about it. | ||
| There were even some pictures of J.K. Rowling smoking a cigar. | ||
| So I love this ruling. | ||
| I think this is great. | ||
| And I really hope that it continues throughout the Commonwealth. | ||
| And I hope that it brings some sanity to all of these decisions about whether or not men are women. | ||
| And it's easy to forget, too, that there are so many young girls who have been going through gender transition as well for sort of completely different reasons. | ||
| Most of the time you have men going through this. | ||
| They're, you know, you have the it's sort of like a sexual fetish thing as well as whatever else is going on with them. | ||
| And for the girls who are going through this, a lot of times they just want to hide being | ||
| We could bring up this Australia story. | ||
| Do we have that too? | ||
| Okay. So, yeah, Australia is still lost. | ||
| And what's interesting in Australia is the courts there have heard cases about whether or not men are women. | ||
| There's this famous case, Tickle v. | ||
| Giggle. A woman launched an app for women only called Giggle. | ||
| And this man, who had changed his name to Tickle because apparently it's not a sexual fetish at all, said that he was being discriminated against because he wasn't allowed to join the app. | ||
| And that was upheld by a court. | ||
| So that's totally madness. | ||
| And we have more of that going on in Australia. | ||
| A women's rights activist in Australia, this is from Human Events, faces court over misgendering biological male players in women's soccer. | ||
| So this women's rights campaigner, which is what the women in the UK And Australia and New Zealand are typically called other than like gender critical feminists or something like that like we typically hear. | ||
| She spoke out against men playing in women's soccer leagues and she is now facing criminal accusations. | ||
| Kira Lee Smith, a spokeswoman for Binary Australia, has been served with two apprehended violence orders, similar to restraining orders, after identifying two trans-identified male soccer players as men. | ||
| Smith opposes men in women's sports and has argued that gender identity policies are putting female athletes at risk. | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| There's no way that they are not putting women athletes at risk. | ||
| We've been seeing this for years now, and it just keeps going on. | ||
| We recently saw in the U.S. a fencer took a knee and said, no, I'm not going to be competing against this man. | ||
| In the U.K., the Women's Pool Championships was... | ||
| It was two men who were competing for the title in that, which is crazy. | ||
| So not only did a man win the Women's Pool Championship, a man beat another man to win the Women's Pool Championship. | ||
| And they're going to have to figure out what's going on with that. | ||
| For years, you've had women saying that trans inclusion is going to erase women. | ||
| And we've just been seeing that played out. | ||
| We've been seeing that over and over. | ||
| Maine is sticking to their guns, as we talked about briefly with Janet Mills. | ||
| Maine is planning to keep letting boys play in women's sports. | ||
| The same thing is true in so many states. | ||
| Minnesota and California and the Trump administration has said that they are considering taking legal action against those states as well. | ||
| Pam Bondi was talking about it, saying that... | ||
| It's not that she wants to take legal action, but, you know, she'd prefer that these places actually follow the law. | ||
| And it's such a fascinating and amazing reversal because under the Biden administration during those years, you had the Department of Agriculture withholding free school lunch aid for schools that didn't let boys go into girls' bathrooms. | ||
| That's absolutely madness. | ||
| You had the Department of Education Merrick Garland, the National School Boards Association, they all were coming down hard on parents who were complaining in Loudoun County about a boy going into a girl's bathroom and, | ||
| you know, raping a female student there. | ||
| And this is what launched the whole Biden administration going after parents who speak out at school board meetings thing, which was such a big deal. | ||
| Over and over again, the Biden administration sided on the side of what's called trans inclusion, just leaving women out in the cold. | ||
| And that's what's going on in Australia now. | ||
| That's what's going on in some of these states. | ||
| And I think this ruling from the UK really can give us a glimpse of what can be accomplished if women stick to their guns and just fight for what they know is right. | ||
| It's so important to stand up for what you know is right. | ||
| It's so important to take that knee, even though it might hurt you in the short term. | ||
| Because knowing what you believe in and standing up for truth and reality, that's going to serve all of us better in the long run. | ||
| Especially when you have places where there's criminal complaints against people for calling men, men. | ||
| That's the kind of stuff that we were seeing under the Biden years. | ||
| You know, those kinds of threats were coming as discrimination or whatever else. | ||
| And I'm really glad to see that coming to an end. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| What else did we have for stories? | ||
| Oh, did I not give you guys this one? | ||
| Okay. Let me see if I can give you guys this one. | ||
| This one, it's back to the immigration stuff. | ||
| Which is wild. | ||
| And it's back to Judge Boasberg, who I bet everybody knows who his name is now. | ||
| He's like this household name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me give you this real quick. | |
| And you guys are nice for bearing with me this morning. | ||
| Okay. I'm just going to talk about this one and then let's go to, what do you call them? | ||
| Rumble what? | ||
| Rumble Rants. | ||
| So let's just talk about this one real quick. | ||
| And then we'll go to Rumble Rants. | ||
| My phone and my computer have different times. | ||
| Apple is wrong somewhere. | ||
| One of those can't be right. | ||
| Anyway, do you have that now? | ||
| You're waiting for it. | ||
| Oh, it's the Postmillennial. | ||
| I'm sure that that comes as a surprise to literally everyone. | ||
| What happens is, so every morning I go through all the headlines, we write up all these stories, and then that's pretty much... | ||
| What I base everything on is I just go off of what we've covered, which tends to be almost everything. | ||
| I mean, we run like almost 25 stories a day. | ||
| Yeah, that's the one. | ||
| And then between two sites, we have so much going on. | ||
| Shout out to the staff at Postmillennial and Human Events. | ||
| You guys are awesome, which you already know. | ||
| But anyway, this is from yesterday. | ||
| Judge Boesberg finds probable cause to hold Trump administration in contempt over deportation flights. | ||
| So this guy had weighed in and said that it was illegal to deport people back to, you know, wherever, Venezuelans, people heading to El Salvador, all of these places. | ||
| And he said on Wednesday that he had found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for disobeying his order to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| Including his directive to have planes literally turned around in the air and sent back to the United States. | ||
| His ruling gives the administration a final opportunity to comply with it. | ||
| And he said that failure will lead to specific officials who defied his order being identified and referred for prosecution. | ||
| So the way he wants to do that is he wants to get Trump administration officials in there. | ||
| He wants to hear their testimony and he wants to narrow down exactly who has been defying his order. | ||
| Really, it's the American people. | ||
| We're all like, no, judge. | ||
| Like, that's not the jam. | ||
| We're not doing that. | ||
| But he said, the court ultimately determines that the government's actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its order, sufficient for the court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the government in criminal contempt. | ||
| The court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily. | ||
| Indeed, it has given defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions. | ||
| None of their responses has been satisfactory. | ||
| The fact that the Trump administration has been in defiance of Bosberg's order has been called a constitutional crisis by many at NPR and other places like that. | ||
| And they've been shouting constitutional crisis for a while now. | ||
| They shout it about pretty much everything. | ||
| And in this case, that's what they're saying, that the Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders, especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it, is what Boesberg said in his ruling. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a few problems with this, however, which is that under the Biden administration, as we know, the whole border crisis thing, they let in like over 2 million people a year. | ||
| Changed all of Trump's previous orders, like remain in Mexico and various different ways of seeking asylum. | ||
| They extended temporary protective status all over the place, right? | ||
| This is what they were doing. | ||
| And so now, after letting in millions and millions of people en masse, just flooding across the border, just saying, hey, whatever is good, you know, come on in, hang out in New York, do whatever you want to do. | ||
| Here's a bunch of cash and housing. | ||
| Now, the judiciary... | ||
| Which didn't do anything about that, right? | ||
| There were cases brought. | ||
| I think Missouri and Texas and a whole bunch of other states brought cases against the Biden administration saying, hey, you're totally breaking the law here. | ||
| Not cool. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| Where was the Supreme Court then? | ||
| The Supreme Court was doing things like siding with Merrick Garland and saying that Texas couldn't build its own border wall. | ||
| They did whatever they could to facilitate this mass immigration. | ||
| And now they're doing everything they can to stop its reversal. | ||
| How long would it take for 10 million illegal immigrants to get their day in court? | ||
| I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who said he'd done the calculations, and it would take something like 600 years. | ||
| Even if you gave each illegal immigrant of $10 million, right, like one hour in court, that would be 10 million hours. | ||
| We don't have that kind of time. | ||
| It's not reasonable to hold the Trump administration to these kinds of nitpicky laws and rulings, or rulings rather. | ||
| I think they're not in violation of any law. | ||
| But it's not reasonable to hold them to this stuff when the Biden administration wasn't held to anything. | ||
| It sort of shows that the entire move of the Biden administration in allowing this kind of mass illegal immigration was never to let anybody go. | ||
| It was always to bring everybody in. | ||
| And just let them stay here. | ||
| We've heard Chuck Schumer essentially saying that the goal is to make sure that the United States has enough population because we have population decline of our own citizens. | ||
| You had Jasmine Crockett saying, you know, we done picking cotton or whatever it was that she was saying to a bunch of people at a Baptist church about why we need illegal immigrants here to essentially be a second class group of non-citizens of semi-legal status. | ||
| Yeah, I think Boesberg is out of his mind, and the Trump administration is right to defy this order, because to do what Boesberg is suggesting, or the judge in, what was her name, Tawani? | ||
| I don't remember exactly. | ||
| Last week in Boston, who was saying, you know, you can't revoke the temporary protected status of 530,000 people. | ||
| They're both out of their minds. | ||
| There's no way to construct the kind of due process that they want to To mitigate the illegal actions taken by the previous administration. | ||
| So, you know, that's my thought on that. | ||
| We could talk about the, we could do these chats. | ||
| Is that what you do next, Andrew? | ||
| You do chats? | ||
| Okay. Oh, some of these are spicy. | ||
| Oh, I don't want to read that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, someone says they love me. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| I'll read that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's see. | |
| Who has no jurisdiction? | ||
| Yeah, he has no jurisdiction. | ||
| I don't think that Bosberg has any jurisdiction either, says Digby O'Dell and James Higgins. | ||
| Digby O'Dell says the judge is overstepping his judicial boundaries. | ||
| I think you're totally right. | ||
| I think he's definitely... | ||
| Someone says I'm monotonous. | ||
| Well, thanks for that, you know. | ||
| But yeah, I think Boesberg is exactly overstepping his boundaries and so is the judge in Boston who tried to put a stop to the termination of the temporary protected status. | ||
| This temporary protected status, it's only supposed to be for two years, right? | ||
| So you get your temporary protected status because your home country is a total disaster. | ||
| You're supposed to be able to be in the country for two years and then go back. | ||
| But repeatedly what's been going on is that the temporary protected status has been extended and extended and extended. | ||
| You even had AOC out there last, was it last year, a couple years, whenever it was, in front of the Roosevelt Hotel demand in New York demanding that the temporary protected status for migrants from Venezuela just continue to be extended and extended. | ||
| Yeah, I think that that's right. | ||
| The court is lying, somebody says. | ||
| Federal prosecution. | ||
| Can Trump pardon them at all? | ||
| I don't know what that's about. | ||
| What, do you just scroll through them all? | ||
| Some people just say not very nice things. | ||
| The Democrats are the threat. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| I think that's true as well. | ||
| Someone's posting frogs. | ||
| I will say one of the social media staffers at Postmillennial is obsessed with frogs and has a bunch of frogs. | ||
| And they're all really, really cute. | ||
| AOC keeps milking the taxpayer. | ||
| Someone says I should read Rumble Rants. | ||
| I'm totally trying, you guys. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Oh, someone says I'm doing great. | ||
| That's very sweet of you, person who said that. | ||
| So time to stack the Supreme Court, says someone else. | ||
| I don't think that's a great idea. | ||
| I think it's a pretty bad idea because as soon as, you know, the Republicans stack the Supreme Court, then the next time the Democrats will put in even more people. | ||
| The next thing you know, we'll have some kind of term-limited Supreme Court with 25 people in it, none of whom can agree on anything and everybody who's just there for their own political gains. | ||
| And I don't think that's so great. | ||
| I mean, there was a shooting at Florida State. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| China owns farmland in Loudoun County? | ||
| Well, that's not great. | ||
| China seems to own farmland everywhere. | ||
| And they also seem to own Canada, which is not so great. | ||
| Libby, do you think the Democrats could ever redeem themselves? | ||
| Are they too far gone? | ||
| I think that the current iteration of the... | ||
| I think the current iteration of the Democratic Party is a little bit too far gone. | ||
| They really have to make a decision. | ||
| Are they going to be the party of the far left? | ||
| The people who want to flood the country with illegal immigrants and want to have lower penalties for crime and want to have everyone get out on bond just because they feel bad that they had a bad childhood or whatever, or are they going to be a little more centrist? | ||
| I think the real problem right now is that the Democrats are failing Americans because what we do need, the reason we have a two-party system, is it's great to have a little balance. | ||
| It's great to have... | ||
| One party say, hey, why don't we try this? | ||
| And another party say, hey, you know what? | ||
| Why don't we try this and let's sort of compromise and figure things out? | ||
| Government should move slowly, in my view. | ||
| Government should not be so overarching and overreaching and crazy and tumultuous that every four years it's like we're living in a totally different country with totally different values. | ||
| That's not how it used to be. | ||
| It also used to have other problems that I'm sure everybody can imagine. | ||
| But, you know, oh, thanks for filling in for Tim. | ||
| The show must go on. | ||
| Jokes aside, good job, Libby. | ||
| Someone told me that I should read out the mean ones. | ||
| But China needs to get out of both. | ||
| I'm here in Washington State. | ||
| Yeah, I agree with that, too. | ||
| Chickens are awesome. | ||
| Don't get me wrong, but we all... | ||
| But so are lizards and frogs. | ||
| They eat all those crappy crawlers that ruin your day. | ||
| My neighbor's chickens were eating the flowers that I planted in my garden. | ||
| And that was sad for me because I never had a garden and I never had flowers. | ||
| And then all of a sudden I still don't because the chickens just come over in the morning and they just eat them all. | ||
| Oh, someone says that I'm not doing an amazing job. | ||
| Is this what you mean about reading mean ones? | ||
| They're just fluffing you because you're female and our society worships women. | ||
| Ha! That's actually pretty funny. | ||
| Mostly our society worships men who think they are women, as we already talked about. | ||
| So, you know, someone loves my glasses. | ||
| I also love these glasses. | ||
| I got them a couple of years ago. | ||
| Send all the legals to Washington State and then trade the state for Alberta. | ||
| Alberta would be a great addition. | ||
| To the United States, we've got all the oil sands. | ||
| We've got a good premier, Danielle Smith. | ||
| Seems pretty good. | ||
| Andrew, you're invited to the Council of Andrews. | ||
| Oh, it's time for a neighbor chicken dinner. | ||
| I'm actually having chicken dinner later. | ||
| I'm excited about it. | ||
| There's currently chicken thawing on my counter at home. | ||
| Can Australia be the next U.S. state? | ||
| No. Uh-uh. | ||
| No, it's way too far and weird and spidery and with creepy animals and those two-foot-tall bats, right? | ||
| They're like the size of toddlers. | ||
| I don't want any piece of that. | ||
| Which clock am I going by, Andrew? | ||
| The one on my phone, my computer, or this other one? | ||
| The one on the desktop. | ||
| Okay. Well, you guys got five minutes left of me here. | ||
| Give them Seattle, then build a wall around Portland and fill it with water. | ||
| Oh, poor Portland. | ||
| Poor Portland. | ||
| It just seems... | ||
| What's crazy to me about Portland is it's so pro-inclusivity and pro-minorities and everything else, but isn't it, like, one of the whitest cities in the entire country? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, they don't really know. | ||
| They don't know what's going on. | ||
| Someone asked for my good lasagna recipe. | ||
| It's pretty basic, but it always comes out good. | ||
| So, you know, DM me and I'll tell you what that is. | ||
| Divorce Eastern Washington from King County, Seattle. | ||
| I've heard that before. | ||
| Whatever happened with those counties in Oregon that were trying to join Idaho? | ||
| Are they still working on that? | ||
| Oregon doesn't really seem to. | ||
| Well, how could I say your comment was from you when your username is a whole bunch of asterisks? | ||
| Mr. She read my comment but didn't say it was from me. | ||
| You still haven't identified yourself. | ||
| I have no idea who you are. | ||
| So, you know. | ||
| Yes. I'm glad that someone in the chat, what does that say? | ||
| It's in purple. | ||
| SensitiveSoul29. I'm glad that you are also scared about Australian animals. | ||
| That is a primary reason why I have no interest in going to Australia because of the giant, don't they have giant spiders, like spiders that are literally this big? | ||
| Like huge. | ||
| And they're under your bed. | ||
| Plus there's snakes, other marsupials. | ||
| Isn't it, you know, I mean, come on now. | ||
| I don't think anybody really needs that. | ||
| Use vodka sauce for lasagna. | ||
| I bet that would be, I bet that would be good. | ||
| I bet that would be good. | ||
| I did this great thing this week. | ||
| I made a bavette steak, which I'd never had before. | ||
| And I fried it and I basically made like orange beef. | ||
| Because since I've moved to West Virginia from New York, like I can't get good Chinese food. | ||
| Unless I go to like Maryland, Silver Spring, basically. | ||
| There where my friend lives. | ||
| But whatever. | ||
| I made it and it came out really good. | ||
| And I'm definitely going to make that again. | ||
| Dinner plate spiders make great pets. | ||
| I bet you're wrong about that because spiders can't love you. | ||
| Spiders will never love you. | ||
| They don't want to sit in the sun and they don't want to have their ears scratched. | ||
| Yeah, I just don't want any spiders. | ||
| You prefer, what does it say? | ||
| Wu Kang prefers six-foot spiders to ones that you can't see creeping up on you. | ||
| Yeah, I would prefer just no spiders. | ||
| The spiders can live under the house. | ||
| There was a story a couple years ago, I don't know if you guys remember this, but there was this lady in Colorado who bought a new house and she heard something in the walls and she didn't know what it was. | ||
| And then it turned out that there was a giant nest of snakes living under her house. | ||
| There was just a nest of snakes living under her house and she had already spent all her money on the house. | ||
| She didn't have enough money to get rid of the snakes and she basically just had to live with snakes for a while. | ||
| Yeah, there's a lot of meth in Portland. | ||
| How do I know spiders don't want their ears scratched? | ||
| You can't even see their ears, you know? | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| West Virginia does not have good Chinese food. | ||
| It has bad, it's very bad Chinese food, which is why I'm trying to create Chinese food in my kitchen. | ||
| So far, I've done a pretty decent job. | ||
| I also can make ramen, which is nice. | ||
| No, yeah. | ||
| Also, I don't like, yeah, sensitive soul. | ||
| We're back to you again. | ||
| Yeah, I also don't like mice or rats. | ||
| Fun fact, if you have mice, you don't have rats because they don't like to live in the same place. | ||
| Did you guys hear about this neighborhood in Buenos Aires where it's overrun with capybaras? | ||
| You guys see that? | ||
| So capybaras are giant rodent-type creatures. | ||
| I recently saw some at a zoo, which was also weird. | ||
| The judge could be held to Logan Act violation with El Salvador relations. | ||
| The reason I don't think Mr. It's Flyin' could be that Boesburg could be held to Logan violation is he didn't go anywhere. | ||
| Okay. Oh, wait. | ||
| We're doing a Russell raid. | ||
| So we're raiding Russell Brand? | ||
| Are you saying that or am I saying that? | ||
| Oh, they can't hear. | ||
| You guys can't even hear Andrew. | ||
| You guys are missing out. | ||
| Andrew is telling me that we are going to raid Russell Brand. | ||
| What else? | ||
| What do I say about that? | ||
| Says that it? | ||
| So you guys are all, so subscribe, like, like and subscribe. | ||
