Glenn and Stu discuss Josh Romney's announcement that he is running for Mitt's old Senate seat. They also discuss the latest on the Mar-A-Lago scandal, and how much Donald Trump's company is worth.
00:09:20.140By the way, he revoked the business licenses of some of Trump's companies and order receiver appointed to oversee the disillusion of those companies.
00:09:32.640Among those companies is Trump's flagship Trump, Trump organization.
00:17:02.920And what happens in the schools is they're, essentially, they're telling kids, you can be, you know, you can be homosexual, you can be lesbian, you can be bisexual, all the letters in the alphabet of the LGBTQ.
00:17:13.640And where my daughter went to school, it was where the pilot project was initiated, and so she was indoctrinated among the first in British Columbia in this program.
00:17:24.320And so that's kind of where it all started.
00:17:46.420And the idea behind that, it sort of, to me, reminds me of a video game where you have avatars.
00:17:52.980And these kids will sit there for hours creating their perfect character.
00:17:57.400And so now you have these adults, these perverted adults coming at your child and telling them, hey, if you're not happy being a girl, create your own, whoever you want to be.
00:18:11.520And, of course, this is very alluring to them, right?
00:18:16.700This is going to solve all their problems.
00:18:18.680So that's sort of where it all started, was in the schools.
00:18:22.940Where I caught on was fairly early on.
00:18:25.720I didn't realize the extent of it all.
00:18:28.360But at one point, you know, my daughter went to see a psychologist who goes by the name Dr. IJ.
00:18:36.420because there's publication bans on all of these doctors because they're clearly so proud of what they do that they're hiding behind publication bans at this point.
00:18:46.300But I thought, you know, at that time, this is great.
00:21:39.640Yeah, that's sort of phase two of the story.
00:21:42.580The first part has to deal with my actual battle to save my daughter from, you know, being a victim of all of this stuff, of the cross-sex hormones and the puberty blockers.
00:21:53.280And, and so what happened is in court in January, the judge said that, you know, for me to misgender my daughter, for example, was going to be considered family violence.
00:22:05.400And all of these crazy things came out.
00:22:08.660I was not allowed to dissuade her from, like, only affirm, affirm, affirm, or that was family violence.
00:22:15.320So, all of these rules were suddenly put on, which pretty much eliminated my ability to parent her on this issue at all.
00:22:23.120And, and so what I did is I spoke with the Federalist after that ruling.
00:22:30.320And I said to the Federalist, I said, well, it's a delusion.
00:22:34.360I'm going to keep calling my daughter a daughter.
00:23:21.520That they could get away with something like this.
00:23:23.440Now, where the change kind of came in, and this is, I should probably hit on this quickly, is the National Post, the big newspaper up here in January, when the court case is kind of starting.
00:23:34.520They put out a front page article on it, you know, who decides the parent, the doctor.
00:23:40.560Now, the problem is they were trying to put my daughter on a pedestal because that had worked well for the transgender activists, is that you shame the father, but you do it publicly.
00:23:49.640But the problem was, all the comments at the end of the story were supporting my position, and they were really going after the trance.
00:23:58.860And so this is when they thought, okay, new tactic.
00:24:01.480We're not going to do it this way anymore.
00:24:11.820And that's essentially what they tried to do.
00:24:14.440And so there was a gag order against you.
00:24:17.820You would be sent to prison if you violated the gag order and spoke to any press member or was it anybody about what you were going through?
00:24:30.540The honest truth, and this may sound super crazy, but my gag order actually said in it that I could only speak to my two lawyers, not even my parents or my family about this matter.
00:24:40.940Only my two lawyers, because it's considered a privileged conversation.
00:25:05.880We got the ruling about five months later, and in that ruling, the BC Court of Appeal said,
00:25:10.380well, we're going to take away the protection order.
00:25:14.120We're going to make it a civil order instead of a criminal one.
00:25:19.220And they also said, I do have the right to dissuade my daughter from being transgender.
00:25:24.040They said, we're taking away the affirmation model.
00:25:26.680And they also said that, yeah, under the Infants Act, the parents don't get to decide what their child wants to do, but neither does the child.
00:25:36.000So essentially what they said is, well, it's on the shoulders of the doctors alone.
00:25:40.520And so the doctors here in BC decide whether your daughter transitions or not.
00:25:45.980The good news in that is that when this contagion possibly comes to an end, which it will, there's going to be a lot of law cases and a lot of girls being transitioned to boys that now have the right to go and sue that doctor and say, hey, you know, why did you transition me?
00:26:02.080I didn't really know what I was talking about, and yet you thought I was doing the right thing.
00:26:07.060And this is the reason why I fight this so hard is because, you know, my daughter is never going to be able to come to me personally and say, hey, dad, why did you rush me down, you know, to the gender clinic?
00:27:55.900And so this is what they do with these kids, these vulnerable kids, is they really gang up and bully on these kids to get them to transition.
00:28:06.680And it's, yeah, I mean, my daughter was a complete victim.
00:28:10.620But, again, this also destroys families.
00:28:12.800And that's also, I think, part of the intention is to destroy families as well.
00:28:18.440So to answer the question, no, I haven't seen her, not since Christmas of 2019.
00:29:11.800And after a while of getting out of school and being, you know, just being out from underneath the thumb, she began to see things differently.
00:29:37.800And that's encouraging because that's, you know, I go through this with my conscious clean.
00:29:43.320And I and I and I hope that, you know, my arms are wide open waiting for her to come back after, you know, she's done whatever she's doing, which is terrible, which is terrible for herself.
00:29:54.480But, you know, I'm waiting here for her.
00:29:57.160And and I would like to think that at the end of the day, you know, it's going to be those that affirmed her that she's going to resent and she'll appreciate what I tried to do for her, even though I I didn't succeed with her.
00:30:07.740But I'm, you know, obviously, I'm so thrilled with what I'm seeing as we are succeeding in countries around the world, you know, in Europe, obviously, in the United States, so many states and even in Canada, our federal government or sorry, not government, they're the official opposition right now.
00:30:27.880But, you know, they passed a resolution, one of them being, you know, that they will never allow anyone under the age of 18 to medically transition.
00:30:35.380And so hopefully they do form government and they're way up in the polls right now.
00:30:41.280But but anyways, I guess I guess this goes to the second part of my story in some ways.
00:30:47.840I went through the first half pretty quickly.
00:30:50.380But so so we get this ruling out of the B.C.
00:30:54.220Court of Appeal and we're debating whether to appeal that to the Supreme Court of Canada.
00:31:00.500In fact, we kind of worked on it and then we kind of decided, well, we sort of got this thing where we can sue the doctors.
00:31:05.380Down the road, let's just leave it because the.
00:31:08.560The the the federal court in Canada is pretty loaded up with left leaning judges.
00:31:16.940And so we thought, well, we probably did better than the B.C.
00:31:19.220Court of Appeal than we were moving forward.
00:31:20.840So at that point, I fired my two lawyers, not because of this, but because to protect them.
00:31:25.700So I fired my two lawyers, got them off the record.
00:31:29.220And I said, OK, well, this that's the end of the line legally for the moment.
00:31:32.860But I'm going to protect them and I'm going to break all these gag orders because I thought, you know, the world needs to know what's happening to their kids in darkness in these schools.
00:31:43.480You know, as an example, it came out in affidavits that when my daughter changed her name from her female name to a male name, I was under the impression that this was by her design.
00:31:55.000No, it was the school counselor that changed her name comes out now in court record.
00:32:42.700And, you know, we we have been moving forward since then, trying to get to the place where we can get where the American people want us to go, which is to actually cut spending, actually take the positions that we need to take and pass the laws.
00:32:56.440We need to take the secure the border and force Biden's hand and go through the other issues you and I both care about, Department of Justice, weaponization, and so forth.
00:33:04.720You and I both talked about on your show before.
00:33:07.040I know I can't get every single thing I want.
00:33:10.540But if we can't meaningfully cut spending along the lines of what you just described, meaningfully secure the border, meaningfully restrain DOJ, then I don't know why the hell we're here.
00:33:27.660Well, what I was going to say is we just passed a rule last night because of the 20 because of the Freedom Caucus demanding that we move forward with regular order to move appropriations bills.
00:33:39.620There's a lot of good policies embedded in those appropriations bills, limiting what Biden can do, constraining the use of dollars.
00:34:09.400If we believe in an open process and opening up and having amendments, you got to let it play out, see what the end result is, and then look in the mirror and go, OK, is this good enough?
00:34:18.580And so for me, we're going to decide the next 40 hours, 48 hours.
00:34:23.140Are we cutting enough spending in these bills on the floor?
00:35:15.400I don't care if you have 32 idiotic Republican senators who voted for a garbage continuing resolution last night that gives more money to Ukraine and didn't touch the border.
00:36:07.320No, that's that's that's Indians inside a room live tweeting out bogus crap.
00:36:12.600What I said was, as I was two weeks ago and you and I talked on your show, I do support sending a funding bill that cuts spending with H.R.
00:36:23.340to the border security bill attached to it over to the Senate.
00:36:27.540I absolutely support doing that while you move appropriations bills, because then you browbeat them that you're funding troops, you're funding Border Patrol, you're cutting spending and you're securing the border.
00:36:37.560Now you go on offense and you crush the Senate Democrats and the president and you stick it up McConnell's rear end.
00:38:57.440The Senate bill just added $6 billion onto a 45-day continuing resolution of last year's spending levels with no help for the border, like I said a minute ago.
00:39:29.660It will be World War III within the Republican Party.
00:39:33.100It will be an absolute, unmitigated separation, a break.
00:39:38.520You will not go cut a deal with Democrats to jam through a spending bill that does not secure the border and perpetuates a war in Ukraine without accountability, without transparency, and that we shouldn't even be doing in the first place.
00:39:54.700So, we're trying to make very clear what we are going to expect and demand out of this.
00:40:00.360And a lot of my colleagues in the Republican Party are bringing out their tropes, their tired old rhetoric, right?
00:40:06.120Like, oh, well, you know, we've got to be united, and we've got to make sure, you know, you guys are over there saying that, you know, we're somehow lacking backbone and we're squishes.
00:40:16.080And, look, politics is a tough business.
00:41:02.500Show me that we're going to hold the line on spending, as you've said you would do, and the border, as you're now publicly saying you're going to do.
00:41:17.960Move the DOJ, we call it CJS approves, Commerce, Justice, and Science.
00:41:22.780Move that through the House with all of the changes we need to put in place to restrain the Biden, you know, Merrick Garland Department of Justice.
00:41:35.400And if in the middle of that we need to have a cut to spending in the form of a stopgap funding measure that's attached to HR2 and border security, yeah, I'll support that.
00:41:52.480I will tell you that I've been waiting for this moment for about 15 years, and I hope that we are there in many ways.
00:42:04.400You know, Charles Sumner stood up in, I remember what it was, 1853, something like that, and he realized that neither the Whigs nor the Democrats were serious about doing anything to stop slavery.
00:42:16.620And he stood up in the well of the Senate, and he said, the South is sleeping with the whore of slavery.
00:42:23.560And I've been waiting for somebody to stand up and say, the Republican parties and the Democrats are sleeping with the whores of big business and special interests.
00:42:36.120Now, he almost was beaten to death because he said that.
00:42:38.780But what was interesting was both the Whigs and the Democrats were against him.
00:42:46.080And that's what gave birth to the Republican Party.
00:42:55.120And I really think, Chip, that this is the moment.
00:42:59.160And I don't think that the Republican leadership, I think that they believe they have, you know, all of the big business, the big, you know, the big donors and everything else.
00:43:12.560But all of those people are going to wake up to a very different world politically if this goes through.
00:43:22.660Well, and that's what I was trying to get out there, Glenn.
00:43:26.440I mean, like some of these things, just they are what they are.
00:43:28.880I know where the American people in the Republican electorate is.
00:43:32.980There are certain Republicans who take way too much comfort in their handful of their little circles of the sort of business establishment.
00:43:40.800And that is not where the American people are.
00:43:43.180The Republican Party has got to actually stand up for something again.
00:43:46.780We have to actually connect with the American people with a vision for what we want to do or go into the ash heap of history and there will be a new party.
00:43:55.560But we can no longer continue to do this uniparty garbage where we are nothing but Democrat light.
00:44:02.340And that means, look, again, can I get the 33 percent cuts that you've got to get to non-defense, non-veteran spending in order to fully achieve 2019 levels?
00:44:15.120You know, or we're going to have to go figure out how to go restrain defense and veteran spending, which is complex, as you know.
00:44:21.600But if we can't go get meaningful cuts, 15, 20, 25 percent to the non-defense, non-veteran portion of our spending, I'm not saying veterans and defense don't need attention.
00:44:35.640But if we can't do that, then why the hell are we here?
00:44:38.900Don't come talking about what you're going to do about Social Security and Medicare when you don't have the balls to cut the Department of Justice.
00:44:43.620Seriously, like if you can't cut the frickin, you know, EPA, if you can't cut, you know, HHS and the bureaucracy there, if you can't cut this bureaucracy, you're never going to touch reforming Social Security and Medicare to make it work for people and make this country solid.
00:45:31.240Just like saying you can't cut, you know, and eliminate Ukraine funding or cut defense because, oh, there's some other special interests that don't like it.
00:45:40.580And frankly, at this point, we need to just do straight up across the board sequesters and do our job to drive the numbers down and then force us to the table to do the appropriations bills the way we're supposed to.
00:45:50.660But again, on a positive note, because of the work of conservatives, we're actually voting on individual appropriations bills with amendments this week.
00:46:00.380It's been a long time since we've really done that.
00:46:02.860So we're working it through the process.
00:46:04.860We're trying to drive the numbers down through the cuts and through the amendments.
00:46:08.680And then we've got to force the hand of leadership.
00:46:11.020And that's going to be the question over the next couple of weeks.
00:46:32.720And let me just really focus on that issue on the border security.
00:46:36.040That issue is something that can and should unite us.
00:46:40.400If we can't do it now, after 304,000 encounters in August, after all of the things we are seeing now, the ridiculous numbers, the 11,000 in one day in Eagle Pass the day before yesterday, then we're never going to do it.
00:46:52.620So light up your phones with your members of Congress.
00:46:55.280Let them know you stand with conservatives.
00:47:06.540I mean, golly, Glenn, 17 Republican senators out of 49 had the fortitude, the spine, the cojones to stand up to Mitch McConnell and the Democrats from passing last year's bloated omnibus spending bill, plus six billion for Ukraine and nothing for the border.
00:47:38.420Well, in the next 48 hours, we're going to know whether we are able to get these appropriations bills done.
00:47:42.800I believe the government will shut down on Saturday night.
00:47:45.180The question is going to be whether we pass a stopgap cut to spending plus HR2.
00:47:51.860We're debating that in the conference.
00:47:53.740And then I think between now and October 13th is going to be D-Day, right?
00:47:57.740Because October 13th is when checks would need to go out to members, you know, in the military and others.
00:48:03.780So I think you've got about two weeks here where you're going to see where the leadership has its fine to stand up and fight for what needs to be fought for.
