00:03:03.040We have, obviously, a situation in the Middle East, very sad situation.
00:03:08.180Israel, there was an attack, a Hamas attack on a concert where a bunch of innocent people were killed, and things are obviously escalating now.
00:03:16.820Not exactly the way to get a bunch of people on your side, raiding and doing literal terrorism and war crimes.
00:04:45.500Yeah, this will not be a fleeting conflict in the Israeli-Palestinian saga.
00:04:48.960This looks like it will be the war to end all wars.
00:04:51.840It's different this time, and it needs to be clear to Hamas and the Iranian Ayatollah and all their other proxies that this was a severe miscalculation.
00:05:56.080We've got a lot of these Hamas types, Hamas apologists, a lot of them in America, it seems like.
00:06:04.320And, frankly, a shocking number on Twitter, the online reaction, a shocking number cheerleading the atrocities, the rapes of civilian women.
00:06:16.020A lot of people don't really know what's going on.
00:06:59.820And I think this could be a theme going into the election as well.
00:07:03.100World War III was on the agenda for the deep state.
00:07:05.740And that's what they wanted really bad.
00:07:06.920And especially in Russia, Ukraine, they couldn't really get it done there.
00:07:10.020So it's going to get done elsewhere, it seems like.
00:07:13.700And I'm, like we said, we're not going to warmonger.
00:07:15.980We're never going to say, oh, we need to go get involved, especially since pretty much every war in history has been started over either a false flag event or for ulterior motives that were not public, made public.
00:07:28.980You know, 9-11, World War I and II, Gaddafi, that whole situation, what's going on in Ukraine.
00:08:20.060You are very powerful relative to Palestine.
00:08:23.700And I also think it's interesting that there are basically two types of wars that are going to be fought in modern international relations,
00:08:30.840which is like one group is wars fought on ethnic and religious lines.
00:11:31.420We believe the borders should remain open.
00:11:35.040That's the official position of this city.
00:11:37.700But we have made it clear there should be a decompression strategy that we could properly deal with the volumes that's coming into our city.
00:11:52.180When we have our own issues from people coming across illegally when they do a terrorist attack on us, we can play that Eric Adams clip and go, Eric, here's your.
00:12:05.040Do you want to change your view or what?
00:12:07.500And then one thing I will say is these coastal voters like New York and L.A. always complain about like, oh, you lost a popular vote, but Trump won 2016.
00:12:31.760You know, the political move to bus them to the sanctuary cities themselves ended up being a good one as long as they can all get deported in the end.
00:12:41.880That would be a good move, to be honest, because then you'd really start seeing some people voting on it where it's like, oh, yeah, we're in L.A.
00:12:48.440And we're going to vote, you know, sanctuary city and open the border.
00:13:24.100She had a new clip where she's talking about forced deprogramming the MAGA people.
00:13:28.600Very strong partisans in both parties in the past.
00:13:32.320And we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes.
00:13:39.620But there wasn't this little tale of extremism waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today.
00:13:49.380And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure.
00:14:51.700And like no specific details on the policies or like understanding that us humans like the policies that a person can do.
00:15:02.400You know, it's just like they're a cult.
00:15:05.080These ideas are extreme and it's like not getting ripped off, closing the border, like ensuring the Second Amendment and like very simple foundational stuff.
00:15:15.240And she's like, can we just get back to the Uniparty already?
00:15:17.840Yeah, lowering taxes, closing the border, arresting criminals.
00:32:08.780Our money buys less and less, and Americas are incurring more debt just to stay afloat.
00:32:13.880Gasoline prices are spiking, and your monthly bills are escalating.
00:32:17.320This is what inflation is, that silent evil force that eats away your wallet and purchasing power.
00:32:22.360Basic necessities are now unattainable luxuries, and when prices spiral out of control, they not only disrupt your ability to live day to day, they also jeopardize your savings and retirement.
00:33:23.580Yeah, it's always important to have physical gold, Richard, especially now with the world pretty much ending.
00:33:29.600It's going to be like a huge reset and technology is going to go away, and then all we're going to have is the gold you bought from Allegiance Gold to trade, and then ammo.
00:33:57.220If you are told information and you immediately reject it and go, nope, that doesn't fit my view of what transness means, you are not going to be able to show up as an ally because all you're worried about is what you think and you feel about an experience that's not yours.
00:34:10.720It's going to be uncomfortable, it's going to be confusing, and it's going to mean that you are going to have to evaluate how gender is seeped into society, how it has affected and shaped your life, how cishet normativity.
00:34:22.100So basically, if you're ever in a conflict with a trans person, they have credibility and you don't because you don't know their experience.
00:34:31.820Tie goes to the trans person, exactly.
00:34:34.100And this kind of gives them the ability to manipulate everybody.
00:34:37.400Yeah, it's kind of a take my word for it sort of thing.
00:34:40.120And not only is it like, well, my opinion is valid and so is yours, they're actually correcting the person they're talking to.
00:34:47.600So it's like my credibility actually is low because I'm being corrected and I'm not correct about something.
00:34:53.880And then the trans person's lived experience, that's actually where the value is.
00:34:58.160So they're the correctors, which is kind of the dynamic they want in sports and politics and schools, Hollywood, everywhere.
00:35:06.180They want it to be the people, the straight people, the normal people.
00:35:10.540You guys need to take a back seat and get quiet and start listening to what these trans people have to say because they're the ones who are actually more progressive in society and thinking further ahead.
00:35:20.360And you're the one who needs to change your behavior because you're thinking like in an old way of thinking.
00:35:25.340And even if it doesn't make sense, you have to just take their word for it, right?
00:39:05.580Which is so funny because these guys, this environmental law society, they canceled it and sent out a big email changing the name of it before they just Googled it.
00:39:54.100Let's listen to what they have to say.
00:39:56.620Most critical time to be there is grades five through eight because you want to catch kids when they're starting puberty because that's the time in which identity formation is central to their lives.
00:40:09.860So we actually are designing a kindergarten through grade two curriculum this summer.
00:40:16.940And I will tell you one of the most rewarding experiences, Nikki, we were in a local school system in an elementary school and we were in grades three, four and five.
00:40:28.240And after we were there, five students went to the principal's office and came out.
00:41:05.780Obviously, they say catching them at puberty is good, but early intervention is better, a.k.a. planting the seeds, a.k.a. sexualized and otherwise non-sexual being like a kid, a.k.a. grooming.
00:41:18.240Do you know how little prepubescent kids think about sex?
00:42:19.440And so this is like a narrative story about one kid who's going to exemplify how easy it was.
00:42:26.160But the article starts off with, like many on the autism spectrum, Fred cycles through obsessions and extreme views.
00:42:33.920He was part of an alt-right group chat as recently as last year, his parents said, but apostatized suddenly and now considers himself far left.
00:42:42.760So there's a kid who's off the rails both directions, right?
00:44:00.500And then so concerned that this was another phase but open to the possibility that it wasn't, Fred's parents tried to enroll their son, who they were now calling a female name at home, in the gender and autism program at Children's National Hospital, the only gender clinic in the country specializing in autistic youth.
00:44:15.020Fred was determined to take hormones, they told the clinic, which is known for its lengthy assessments.
00:44:19.580Before he did, they wanted to be sure his dysphoria wasn't transient or peer-driven, which obviously it was, right?
00:44:28.500And here's where it gets interesting in the purpose of writing the article.
00:44:32.060In late July, while his parents were out of town and after he had come of age, so he turns 18, his parents go out of town.
00:44:37.800Fred went to Planned Parenthood, which prescribes hormones to any legal adult without a letter from a therapist or a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
00:44:44.700The only requirement is a brief consultation, usually with a nurse practitioner, about the drug's effects, which range from mood swings and male pattern baldness to permanent infertility.
00:44:55.300They tracked his phone for this article.
00:44:57.440Fred arrived at his local clinic on North Fullerton Ave in Montclair, New Jersey at around 11 a.m.
00:45:02.520According to phone tracking data his parents used to monitor his whereabouts, by 11.39, they received a text message from CVS.
00:45:09.820Fred's estrogen prescription was on its way.
00:45:12.100Instead of a months-long evaluation by expert psychiatrists, a nurse practitioner had, in a little over 30 minutes, prescribed their special-needs son a powerful drug without their knowledge or consent.
00:52:23.860And he's going to leave on like, imagine that after all the years, you leave on like the worst terms at the worst time when things are bad.
00:52:31.300And that's kind of what happened with the World War II veterans.
00:52:33.200They see America, like they're all close to dying.
00:52:54.280And honestly, if you're these teachers, like if you have a classroom where there's a fight and some kids get into it and it's like totally out of the ordinary and some extenuating circumstance that happened, maybe break it up.
00:53:06.480If you're in this kind of what do you what do you even want to call it?
00:54:15.600People don't want to become a—if there's a nice suburb right outside of San Fran, an officer, a prospective police officer, will do everything he can to go there instead of the city of San Fran.
00:55:38.380You go where somebody just beat his wife, some, you know, some crazy shit.
00:55:41.420Or there's a street rat breaking stuff in a store, and there's no results where it's like, well, I arrested 10 today, and I'll arrest 10 tomorrow, and by next year, this street will be cleaned up.
00:56:11.360The city life, drug OD babysitter, wearing gloves all the time, possibly getting touched by fentanyl, is not where you want to be these days.
00:56:19.120So, the recruitment problems, I believe, will continue.
01:00:34.780They're getting in little skirmishes with the cops, as we've reported previously.
01:00:39.060And so these are just some more, like, kind of arrest stories that are coming out.
01:00:43.440This is a group of migrants who had pot, $5,000 in cash, in car during loop traffic stop.
01:00:50.040So Chicago police say two migrants had more than three ounces of pot and $5,000 in cash when officers pulled them over for a traffic stop in the loop Thursday afternoon.
01:00:58.660And the migrant who was driving did not have a license or insurance, but he was wanted for failing to appear in court for another pending case.
01:01:08.780And so this is kind of what they're up to.
01:01:43.080Warrant was issued after a migrant accused of having stolen firearm in the loop fails to appear in court.
01:01:48.740And so this was a Venezuelan who allegedly had a stolen firearm in a vehicle during a traffic stop downtown in Chicago, and he failed to appear for his first court date.
01:01:57.700So another just no-show for the court.
01:01:59.940Officers pulled over a Chrysler minivan traveling without plates and arrested the driver for driving without a license and without insurance, according to a CPD arrest report.
01:02:09.800His name is Jordan Javier Medina Medina.
01:02:19.080And so, I mean, I just wanted to highlight, like, these are kind of the—neither of these things are that serious, you know, quote unquote.
01:02:27.680But you let in these young 20-something kids with no job and no prospects, and you go, huh, are they going to drive without a license and resort to crime?
01:02:55.520Because they just give you the court date and say, please come back for your punishment, Mr. Illegal Immigrant who broke all the laws to get here.
01:03:02.200And so you're setting these people up for—you're setting the citizens of Chicago up for a big fuck you, right?
