AOC gets fake arrested, AOC gets a baby, and Demi Lovato has an abortion. Plus, a new baby who has Asperger s, and a baby who doesn t even cry. And more!
00:06:06.000And then we'll also talk about something that, you know, is kind of near and dear to my heart, the Senate burn pit bill.
00:06:13.000You know, people have been talking about how it's kind of been coined for veterans.
00:06:16.000It's been misrepresented, of course, and it's been used as political football because Jon Stewart decided to show up and insult some people.
00:06:22.000So we're talking about that today, and also hopefully kind of walking you through a logical exercise.
00:06:27.000When something doesn't pass a sniff test, like the burn pit bill, Why?
00:06:31.000Hopefully you'll learn how to ask some questions and find the answers, and we'll make all of our references available.
00:07:52.000Do you think if they turned conservatives against each other, Republicans against each other, a lot of people are saying this is a losing issue?
00:07:57.000I don't see it, as we'll talk about Kansas.
00:07:59.000But before we do any of that, we always love going to our favorite state.
00:09:17.000So, uh, can we just, if law enforcement didn't already have enough of a tough job in New York, uh, thugs in the street, and I think this happened yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, uh, making it harder, of course.
00:10:35.000Now, it's that there is no fear of retribution or accountability because of the catch-and-release programs, because of the kind of defunding that we've seen across the country.
00:11:00.000I mean, watch the beginning of Taxi Driver where he does his whole speech and you juxtapose it with that and tell me which scenery is worse.
00:11:13.000Well, it's also what happens when you make the police officers afraid to defend themselves because they could either be sued or they could, God forbid, something really bad could happen.
00:11:20.000I mean, those guys' bottles are flying through the air, hitting a cop in the head with a bottle from 50 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet, whatever it is.
00:11:27.000Could knock that cop down on the ground.
00:13:55.000I have a story about Joe Pesci where he wouldn't go to California because he didn't understand that you didn't need to be extradited if you just go to a different state.
00:14:05.000It involves Ben Shapiro, Joe Pesci, and the LAPD.
00:14:43.000So let's give you the breakdown here, because we covered this back then.
00:14:50.000Demi Lovato made this huge announcement regarding her pronouns, and it was absurd then as it is now.
00:14:55.000I want to take this moment to share something very personal with you.
00:14:58.000Over the past year and a half, I've been doing some healing and self-reflective work.
00:15:02.000And through this work, I've had the revelation that I identify as non-binary.
00:15:06.000With that said, I'll officially be changing my pronouns to they-them.
00:15:10.000I feel that this best represents the fluidity of my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering.
00:15:20.000Oh, true to the person that she knows she is.
00:16:27.000Well, speaking of that, it's time for you to work it, sweetheart.
00:16:29.000Also, I think it's important to note that you can't base your entire biology, and they want to say gender identity, but let's go back to the old school biology, based on where you want to take a dump.
00:17:53.000But given that that is something that she's talked about before, don't you think that you kind of walk with a little bit more caution into subjects like this before you push this out to your hundred million plus followers?
00:18:05.000The problem is that the media treated it as absolutely legitimate when it happened, as opposed to asking the question that you are asking, which is a perfectly legitimate and a very important question.
00:18:25.000And so my mom had this really nice expensive parka that she got off of this show when she was a wardrobe stylist, and it had fur on the hood, and I was like, I can't wear it, Mom, because it says, don't wear fur on Captain Planet.
00:18:35.000I was like, but this is a nice is going to keep you warm when it's negative 30
00:18:37.000We were in Montreal. Yeah, and I said no captain planet.
00:18:40.000She got really mad. She's like, okay, okay I'll pick off the she did a really crappy job. So it looks
00:18:44.000like a pubic hair beard So I still had remnants of the fur around my parka now take
00:18:49.000that stupid influence where kids change their minds all the time
00:18:54.000and Apply gender theory which is very new modern gender theory
00:18:57.000to the mix And of course you can influence young children and even
00:19:01.000more so when they don't just see someone who's on Nickelodeon someone who's on Disney
00:19:04.000But they see everyone in legitimate media saying oh, yeah, this is a they them
00:19:09.000This is a person who's gender fluid this matters because we've talked about this
00:19:12.000More and more children are claiming that they're trans. But guess what?
00:19:47.000That is a very important statistic, considering that 42% of trans, non-binary individuals attempt suicide.
00:19:54.000By the way, both pre- and post-transition.
00:19:56.000So when you have these people going out there and acting as though this is established science, and you have social media platforms removing people, even episodes of this program!
00:20:35.000If you have to go to the bathroom, honestly, and I hate to go back to it, and you have to decide which one to go into, you don't have to go to the bathroom that bad.
00:21:34.000I care about what happens to the people who follow her and go, oh, that's fantastic, because all of the people around, like you said, said, oh, this is to be applauded, this is 100% normal.
00:21:44.000She can go and basically transition Verbally.
00:21:49.000We can't have a back-and-forth discussion, but they can have a back-and-forth switch of genders.
00:21:52.000They can, but how many kids that follow Demi Lovato, how many people that are fans of Demi Lovato's music and will basically worship at the altar if Demi Lovato went out and said, well, I'm trans now, mom and dad, we need to talk about puberty blockers, or maybe I had a surgery, or think about how many people can't Go and do what she just did.
00:22:10.000She just basically said, ah, you know, I think I'm gonna go this way now.
00:22:13.000They're like, well, crap, I'm stuck on the ride already.
00:24:02.000If the science is out, when you inject estrogen directly into a little boy's ass cheek, or you give a little girl testosterone so she grows a mustache at 12 years old, why would we care about hormones in Horizon milk?
00:24:42.000The only reason, this is a sleight of hand, okay?
00:24:44.000The only reason they can get away with saying that is because this is new, and it's experimental, and we don't have the long-term studies on children taking these drugs.
00:24:54.000We do know what happens to adults who alter their hormones beyond biologically normal levels.
00:27:12.000Before we go to this clip on Kansasians discussing their opinions on this bill, I don't understand why lesbians are so concerned with abortion.
00:27:26.000If they say straight men, heterosexual men, are certainly affected by abortion more than lesbians.
00:27:31.000So, as I play this clip, let's also play a little game called Spot the Lesbian.
00:27:36.000It was kind of intimidating, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm glad I got to partake in this.
00:27:43.000Well, actually it was my first time voting too, so I felt like it made a big impact, and I just wanted to be able to help people that maybe are younger and don't really understand what's going on for when they grow up.
00:27:56.000I don't think I should have to be coming up here and voting on that.
00:28:11.000I don't believe that abortion should be in the hands of a person.
00:28:14.000A person should... Life is created by God.
00:28:17.000He is the only one that has the right to bring life or take life.
00:28:21.000I voted no because if God gives us the right to choose between good and evil and right and wrong, I think that we should have the ability for that same choice.
00:28:30.000Okay, let me just address that really quickly, that last part.
00:28:33.000This is where the abortion arguments fall apart.
00:28:35.000You know, we do these Change My Minds on a lot of topics.
00:28:37.000Everything from Build a Wall, Donald Trump is not a fascist, I am pro-Second Amendment.
00:28:40.000The easiest one, honestly, is abortion.
00:29:28.000Kansas voters, the first to vote on an abortion-related ballot measure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
00:29:34.000And frankly, that ruling proved energizing for Kansans who did not want the state constitutional right to an abortion to be undone by the amendment.
00:29:42.000It was a state Supreme Court ruling that put that in place.
00:29:47.000The amendment itself would not ban abortion, but it would have set the stage for legislative oversight.
00:30:11.000If you're Stephen King, that's pretty much it.
00:30:15.000At the very end of his quote, he said this wouldn't have made it illegal, it would have just put the power to do that in the hands of the state legislature, not necessarily in the hands of the Supreme Court.
00:30:25.000That's all this was, and it was an incredibly confusing vote.
00:30:28.000If you read the ballot, you would have had to take some time to make sure, because the way that they worded it, Made you wonder, like, I don't know what is what.
00:30:35.000Now, at the bottom, they said, if you vote yes, this is what it means, if you vote no, but I understand human nature, and they're not gonna read... It's like what they did with Prop 8 in California.
00:30:42.000Well, they used double negatives, and then they go, yes or no, and you're like, I don't understand.
00:30:47.000Then they quoted the Constitution in there, and I'm like, why did you add that?
00:31:05.000Basically the idea was would they have the right to have restrictions like Texas that would come into play before the, that wouldn't have been allowed before the overturning.
00:31:13.000I'm getting confused just even saying it.
00:31:15.000Before Roe v. Wade you couldn't put in limitations only in the first trimester.
00:32:22.000Whether you agree with some of their points or not, you just have to say, eh, no, because sooner or later you're going, wait a second, I'm paying for people to travel to Panama to get an abortion at nine months.
00:33:36.000This is not a purely medical decision.
00:33:38.000This isn't you deciding to have maybe some additional pounds removed or maybe have a facelift or butt implants for those of us not blessed like you are, Stephen, right?
00:36:08.000I'm not saying that it's a comfortable choice, but you did make a choice to have sex, assuming it's not rape or incest, which in nearly every case it's not.
00:36:16.000Now you have a choice to give up the baby for adoption as opposed to terminating that life.
00:36:18.000The only reason that you think that's wrong is because there's this assumption that you are entitled to not be uncomfortable in any capacity.
00:36:26.000Same thing with women getting the right to vote.
00:36:28.000Well, women got the right to vote, but you didn't have to be drafted.
00:36:32.000Well, you shouldn't have to experience any discomfort.
00:36:34.000You had sex, you had a one-night stand, you weren't responsible enough to use a Plan B pill, you weren't responsible enough to use contraception.
00:36:39.000You should be able to have an abortion.
00:37:53.000You think that men aren't going through a private hell, women, sometimes in marriage?
00:37:57.000Sometimes you make our life difficult.
00:37:58.000But statistically, men don't walk nearly as much as women because we have never been promised the right to not experiencing discomfort.
00:38:07.000That has never been a right, a promise, even a notion afforded to men.
00:38:12.000And so women file 80% of divorces and they walk because they don't like the relationship and I shouldn't be uncomfortable in this relationship.
00:38:19.000It's the same issue that we're dealing with with abortion.
00:38:21.000And on the flip side, let's look at black Americans.
00:38:23.000This is a really good kind of petri dish.
00:38:25.000What do you have if you listen to black Americans?
00:38:28.000They say, what are the primary problems with young men?
00:39:27.000You can scream until you're blue in the face and say, yeah, well, we need to reconcile what's happened in the past and we need to make sure that there's justice today for women in the past who didn't have as many rights.
00:39:37.000Just don't expect to get married because 40-something percent of young men don't want to get married because they see it as an inequitable distribution.
00:43:22.000It's always the problem is they stuff everything into a bill that has nothing to do with the bill that is actually going to help the people it's supposed to help.
00:43:38.000A day that should have happened long ago.
00:43:39.000and by the way we all would support that if the government screwed up and
00:43:43.000harmed our veterans that is a legitimate purview of government
00:43:47.000to fix that right to right that wrong especially as it relates to
00:43:52.000people who put their lives on the line
00:43:53.000here's a clip to fill you in this is a very good day
00:43:57.000a long awaited day a day that should have happened long ago
00:44:01.000for decades many of our nation's veterans have endured this shameful reality
00:44:06.000they went abroad to serve our country bravely got sick from toxic exposure in the line of duty
00:44:12.000but came home and learned they didn't qualify for the benefits they needed to
00:44:16.000treat their illnesses It is shameful, it is infuriating.
00:44:21.000Today we tell our veterans suffering from cancers, lung diseases, other ailments from burn pits, the wait is over for the benefits you deserve.
00:44:30.000Okay, so just so you know, people who voted nay, notable Rand Paul, Mike Lee, I'll explain to you why.
00:44:35.000The bill failed in the Senate just last week.
00:44:39.000Now, last week, and this is the reason the bill went through and Republicans caved, wrongfully so, Jon Stewart went on his press tour and was ripping people like Pat Toomey and other Republicans for not voting for the bill under what?
00:44:52.000Under the guise that you must not care about veterans.
00:45:02.000America's heroes... Did you just point to a public school teacher?
00:45:06.000...who fought in our wars... I'm not sure what she is.
00:45:09.000...outside sweating their asses off... ...with oxygen... ...battling all kinds of ailments, while these motherfuckers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it!
00:45:57.000It's ironic that he uses the term pot of gold.
00:45:59.000So look, this is what I want to do a mental exercise with you right now.
00:46:03.000Because a lot of people have actually, you know, they'll reach out, they'll go through our email contacts on the website, like tips at lightoffcutter.com or something like that, and they'll say, I just, I know that there's something going on with this Burn Pit Bill, the PACT Act, but I don't exactly know what it is because I do think that veterans should be taken care of.
00:46:20.000Why are Republicans voting against this?
00:46:35.000Are Republicans typically the party that don't support veterans?
00:46:40.000Is it typically the Democratic Party who want to actually reform the VA, actually increase efficiencies, actually want to create an effective military, not a social justice petri dish?
00:46:50.000Are the Democrats the party that have been pro-military, pro-veterans?
00:47:40.000Here's Pat Toomey explaining it before he was just, you know, insulted by Jon Stewart.
00:47:44.000What do you say to those who find it impossible to believe that of all the multi-trillions of dollars in our federal budget, this is where you and Republicans decided to take a stand?
00:47:55.000Here's what you need to keep in mind, Jake.
00:47:57.000First of all, this is the oldest trick in Washington.
00:48:02.000People take a sympathetic group of Americans, and it could be children with an illness, it could be victims of crime, it could be veterans who've been exposed to toxic chemicals, Craft a bill to address their problems, and then sneak in something completely unrelated that they know could never pass on its own, and dare Republicans to do anything about it because they know they'll unleash their allies in the media and maybe a pseudo-celebrity to make up false accusations to try to get us to just swallow what shouldn't be there.
00:48:40.000Jake Tapper, why didn't you ask maybe a more probing question to get to the heart of the matter instead of trying to paint Republicans as anti-VA?
00:48:46.000Why didn't you say, hey, in the Senate, you guys passed this bill earlier this year.
00:48:50.000When it went to the House, it was actually changed a little bit and came back to you guys, and that's when you voted no on it.
00:49:01.000What's $400 billion between friends, Stephen?
00:49:05.000Having been part of fighting this when my dad died as a teenager, you look at the Clinton administration, the Bush administration, the Obama administration, the closest we came to getting paid was the Trump administration.
00:49:21.000They recently just started paying out mustard gas because there's so few people left in connection to where they can cough out a couple dollars for that.
00:50:21.000And by the way, this is not the only time this has been done.
00:50:24.000All references, again, available at lottocutter.com.
00:50:26.000Let me just give you a few off the top of my head more recently.
00:50:28.000In July 2022, Democrats right in the House Committee, they voted to insert more funding for the CDC and NIH, remove the Hyde Amendment and the budget bill in March 2022.
00:50:38.000Biden's $1.5 trillion spending bill included billions of dollars in pork barrel spending, of course, in Democrat districts.
00:50:46.000May 2019, House Democrats added, and this is referred to as a poison pill because they deliberately want to poison it so they can then score political points, bailouts for Obamacare, bipartisan health care legislation.
00:50:58.000They added this last minute and then go, what, you don't support health care for people?
00:51:23.000And I think he comes from a good place, especially with even 9-11 and people that have dealt with it.
00:51:29.000I just think that he has to understand that every move forward, just because there's something good in it, doesn't mean it's actually going to bring in the result that you want.
00:51:38.000And you can't just blame one party for it.
00:51:42.000This is a fault of right and left a lot, but the people you see doing it the most are the Democrats, because they're the most difficult group to get veterans paid out.
00:51:52.000And I've experienced this firsthand, and I have a mountain of evidence that can show that.
00:52:57.000That's the same game they play over and over again to get more of taxpayer funding to do whatever they want with.
00:53:02.000Why didn't you just decades ago have your freaky little lemony Snicket's hand write this up in a way that was straightforward and would actually help the veterans?
00:53:10.000Why don't you drag soldiers over into a conflict that didn't involve us?
00:54:16.000Donald Trump, the only president in modern American history to not start a new war, and he's the guy who did most for veteran reform, for VA reform.
00:54:24.000It was the first time I got through, I was able to talk to somebody.
00:54:26.000I almost had a check written out, and it's not even about the money.
00:54:41.000They take accountability, but then the second that it's switched to Biden, it comes back to, well, your mom didn't file the paperwork just right.
00:54:49.000Well, she was mentally ill because her husband died.
00:55:25.000I was 19 years old when someone actually explained it to me.
00:55:28.000And they went through all the technical jargon and they explained it to me in a way that I couldn't possibly understand as just one of those plebs.
00:57:12.000So the bill is exactly the same, and Senator Ted Cruz, who's been on the show, is a friend of the show, stated his support for the Pac-Tac and veterans, but he added, I'm disappointed that we couldn't come together to fix the Democrat-created budget gimmick that will allow Congress to subsequently spend another $400 billion on pork, and on top of and completely unrelated to the laudable funding in this bill for veterans harmed by burn pits.
00:57:35.000Now it's up to Republicans to clean up this mess by lowering the discretionary cap so that we protect every penny of veterans' funding, but prevent unrelated pork when Republicans retake the majority.
00:57:45.000I mean, in other words, basically, Ted Cruz came out and said, this is a really bad deal.
00:57:49.000There's money going to other places that we can't control.
00:57:51.000But hey, make sure you vote for us in the upcoming elections and we'll fix it.
00:57:56.000Ted, we've been doing that for a long, long, long time.
00:57:59.000Do you think anything's actually going to happen on this post-election?
00:58:03.000Nobody's going to come back and actually put caps on this stuff.
00:58:06.000There's money going out the door and everybody wants a piece of it, including you.
00:58:10.000And the other Republicans who actually held the line last week and had principles last week on this until the media started to run with the fact that you guys didn't support the VA and y'all didn't have your game ready to come out and say, actually we do and here's a laundry list of reasons why I can say that.
00:58:28.000They caved because they understand there's a certain portion of their constituency, not all, But there are a lot of veterans out there, just like there are groups of any other American demographic, who are not particularly educated on political issues at this point.
00:58:40.000And if you're not paying attention, you are constantly being pandered to, right?
00:58:57.000And they are actual heroes, unlike TikTok nurses.
00:59:00.000That being said, Republicans don't want to fall on that sword, because veterans have been used, not in the same way for pork barrel spending, but by, I would say, some private companies, a lot of businesses, a lot of corporations on the right, who say, veteran-owned, we're proud veteran-owned, we support our veterans, and 2% of their profits go to veterans.
00:59:19.000And so they're afraid of these people getting mad at them, and it's a lot easier to just say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we support all the veterans!
00:59:25.000Rather than educating people saying, look, look, look, the reason we have a problem is because of 400 billion dollars.
00:59:31.000It's, ironically, the only kind of pork that Schumer doesn't have a problem with.
00:59:37.000It's how they dip their toe, though, into getting a moderate vote to go their way because they know that people will sympathize with it to some degree.
00:59:44.000But the reality is, is we do not have the respect for our soldiers that we should.
00:59:48.000We're not aware of the fact that we don't even understand patriotism like we should.
00:59:52.000We don't have a grasp of what goes on in the world and how dangerous and scary that it actually is.
00:59:57.000The reason why Demi Lovato can have 18 different pronouns is because there's not people here that would just kill her in a heartbeat because of these soldiers.
01:00:11.000And I'm really tired of seeing how much shit they have to go through to get any kind of money in compensation for what they've, for what they've dealt with.
01:00:21.000Maybe we could, we can talk after the show, but you know, we have some lines with, and just to be clear, I don't endorse politicians on the show.
01:00:27.000I'll have politicians on the show specifically if I think they're relevant to an issue.
01:00:32.000Could make some calls and it might be good for you to get in front of them.
01:01:08.000It's one of the few legitimate roles of government.
01:01:11.000To protect us both from external and internal threats.
01:01:15.000There should be no other spending or social programs until the veterans, the people who have actually fought for this country, are taken care of.
01:01:22.000And no, libertarians, that's not supporting a welfare state.
01:01:26.000These are people who went out, fought for the country, and especially if you had them breathing in air from the burn pits.
01:01:32.000If someone can go on air and allow you to sue your state, whether it's G. Gordon Liddy because of mesothelioma, but if you're a veteran, you're shit out of luck.
01:01:41.000William Shatner can have you sue somebody for a slip and fall every day of the week.
