• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, we are back on the normal and the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: show normal. It takes them when the news gets weird.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I am Mary Cathern.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm Carol Markowitz. How's it going, Mary Catherine?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It's all right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: I have like truly transitioned to old lady Mother's day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, what do I want? I want socks.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I want really nice, really nice socks, and so I
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: made my husband order me really nice socks.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I love it. I didn't even know they make really
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: nice socks.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: You gotta up your game at some point to the
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: to the good stuff. So I'm going full bombus and features.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: So none of this, None of these departments store target
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: socks for me anymore.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Right, right, you're fancy now, I'm fancy. Now. I deserve it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Mine is like a ten pack from Amazon, and my
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: husband and I wear the same socks.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I do. See.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: This is why, this is why I upgraded, because I
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: found myself going to his collection because his were nice mine.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you gotta upgrade me to whatever
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you're using over here. So there we are.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: The Supreme Court has overturned a lower court ruling that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: had said that the Trump administration had to allow transgender
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: people into the military. The Supreme Court said, no, they don't.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The lower court was a three judge panel and it
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: was a Clinton appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Biden appintee.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So they all were against the Commander in chief having
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the final say as to who gets into the military,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and the Supreme Court said no, actually, no, the president
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: does have final.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Say on that. People are predictably losing their minds.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: CNN compared it to Trump possibly banning black people from
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the military, but.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: That's obviously absurd.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who don't qualify for military service,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: individuals with felony convictions, certain medical conditions, history of drug use.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: All of that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You could have dental problems and not be allowed into
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the military. So I think that the goal of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth Defense Department and the President are to have
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a cohesive military and to have a strong military, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: they didn't feel that having transgender people serve in the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: military was a good idea. Again, they have the final
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: say on that, and here we are.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the military and the Commander in Chief
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: obviously have the power to set medical.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Standards for entrance to the military. I just this one
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is this one is like a crazy one boys and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: women's sports.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's like, right, this is just a practical way of
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: doing things because the original ban says the Department explained
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: that the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: who have a current diagnosis, or history of, or exhibit
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: symptoms with gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and physical standards necessary for military service.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: There's that exactly.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: There's the outlay for medical care for those who have
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: this kind of diagnosis that is ongoing. Because this is
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: specifically they've specifically mentioned, like people who've had medical intervention,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: that care must continue, exactly, and at that point it
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is on the taxpayer, and it is on those units
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: to deal with the people who are in them. And yes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: this does present different issues than a person who comes
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in like like you said, there's like dental problems in
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: flat feet that will disqualify you from the military. This
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: is certainly this is of another level.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's right, And so it also presents issues for deployment,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: for example, if they don't get the care that they need.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And the thing is that a lot of this comes
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: down to you're not allowed to discriminate on the basis race, color, religion,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: national origin, sex, sexual orientation, et cetera.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Gender identity is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Kind of a new one.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: It's not actually one of the ones that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: We traditionally know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So I don't know that this is going to be
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: able to continue in other facets, either in other parts
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of society either. I think the military is the obvious one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: But discriminating by gender identity is something that just makes
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: no sense. You can change your gender identity at any second,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of course, so.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: The rules there's an internal contradiction here, which is that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: generally we protect against discrimination for immutable characteristics.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: If your gender.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Is eminently mutable, meaning you can change it from day
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to day and where your ring or your bracelet to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: signal whichever pronouns you're using that day, Discriminating against that
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: is not an immunimal characteristic. So there is an inherent
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: contradiction in here, as there as there often is with
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: trans engender ideology. Right, and it doesn't it doesn't work.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: That's right. So I think the Supreme Court did the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: right thing.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It was again again according to ideological lines, which I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: don't love to see in the Supreme Court. And it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: funny because it's always the three liberal justices voting together,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and yet it's.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: The Conservatives will get back and forth occasionally Kagan, Occasionally
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Kagan will end up on the other.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Side, right.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But it's interesting that that's the way it goes down
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all the time, and yet it's seen as all the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: conservatives are in lockstep, not at all. So it's unfortunate
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that it came down to a six' to three, vote
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: but it's the right, MOVE i, think, WELL.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I think this is what's frustrating about courts and to some,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: extent law fair from the left during A trump administration is,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: like he Shouldn't he shouldn't have to ask Permissions act
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: standards for the military, entrance and no other president would have,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: to particularly democratic, presidents would not have to absolutely ask
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: permission of the highest court in the land to do this.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Thing that's part of their.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Job, right it's right there in his title as commander in.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Chief he could do pretty much anything with the. Military
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and the hysteria around this is just it's something that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: would absolutely never happen with a democratic, president and it
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: also shows very few lessons have been. LEARNED i think
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that the trans thing had gotten pushed so far That.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Americans really drew a.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Line AND i think that this military ban is very
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: similar to.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That we the.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Military has a.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Role it's not about people's feelings to be the best worst.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Possible and a lot of normies think that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Way, yes, exactly we are hopefully speaking to the normies.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Here we'll be right back on.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Normally up, next we have maybe a preview of the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: summer In washington at The university Of, washington about thirty
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Pro palestinian students who are Arrested monday night after they
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: occupied a building at The university Of washington In, seattle
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: setting dumpsters on fire and creating a dangerous, environment university officials.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Said the group called SUPER uw.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Said on Its facebook page that it launched an occupation
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: of the New boeing funded engineering building was staging a
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: protest over the aviation, companies defense contracts and arms Sales.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Israel so of, course you know it makes sense to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: protest protest government contracting by lighting dumpsters on. Fire, obviously
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: some reports suggest there was a million dollars of damage
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: on the campus due to the due to these, protests
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: which then is not, speech, guys and this is the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: thing that the universities have been missing. Throughout once you
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: are doing, this occupying, buildings setting things on, fire and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of, vandalism threatening, people hurting, people, yeah
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you have crossed over into, crimes, right and in this,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: case these people should be, arrested, prosecuted expelled first because
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you've done the crimes on the, campus you've broken the.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Rules then all those other, things and if you have
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: a visa or you're a foreign, student you should be.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Deported, absolutely this can't go.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: On it's JUST i can't believe that we even need
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to say. This but the fact is that this is taking.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Such a step over the. LINE i try to imagine.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: WHAT i would think if they weren't setting buildings on
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: fire or Stopping jewish kids from going to, classes or
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: if they were just. Protesting And i'm saying nat saying, that, yeah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: yeah but no, encampments because that's also overstepping the. Rules
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: but if they were protesting according to what we imagine protesting.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: To, be which is speak, RIGHT i would be sticking
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: up for.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Them and it is the fact that they keep crossing
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: this line that makes me say we need a really serious.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Crackdown this can't.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Continue we can't continue to have these kinds of riots
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: go on on our college. CAMPUSES i have a fifteen
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: year Old i'm thinking about the. FUTURE i don't know
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: what School i'm going to feel comfortable sending her to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: in a few, years because so many schools have failed
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: completely failed to meet this moment.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Well and the problem is that if these students are
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: not properly disciplined and up to, expulsion expulsion and actual
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: prosecution of their, crimes because what happens is they get picked,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: up they get, arrested they get let, go and then
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the local prosecutor, decides, oh not those sweet innocent, children,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: RIGHT i won't be prosecuting. THEM i don't care if
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: on The columbia campus they held a bunch Of African
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: american janitors as staff, hostage we won't be going after.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: That then that sends the signal that anyone who is
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: an ideological traveler with the left will be able to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: do whatever they want to, do to protest whatever they
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: want to protest without. Consequence and this has happened several times.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Recently just to do a little collection of, them a
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: college student accused of firebombing A tesla dealership has been
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: released from federal custody to continue gender affirming medical. Care
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: according to, report this Is owen, McIntyre, nineteen facing federal
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: charges for allegedly tossing two molotov cocktails into A Missouri
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: tesla dealership last, month causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Damage to two cyber trucks and two charging.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Stations according to THE, feds Is university Of massachusetts physics
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: student and apparently in court, ALSO i think blamed some
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: NEURODIVERSITY adhd and.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Depression for these.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Issues for the, acts the illegal acts and requires medication and,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: treatments so you, know special treatment much like they want
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: for the, military special treatment and release from custody for
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: these conditions for this. Person and if you send that,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: signal every single person who fire bombs A tesla the
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: dealership will be, like But i'm one of the, goodies. Right,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: ALSO i HAVE, Adhd like don't we all.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Kid don't exactly what we allow we will get more
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Of and when we're allowing these crimes to go, unprosecuted
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: it also just creates, chaos like do they really not
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: think that the right will end up doing the same
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: thing with?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: People it's the most obvious pendulum.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Swing, obviously right leaning prosecutors won't prosecute right leading.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Criminals but what they always say is, like watch, out
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: this will set a, precedent and they ignore that this
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: has already been.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Happening Right they're, like how.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Would you, feel and it's, like, WELL i already feel
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: it because it's currently currently. Happening there's a there's a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: woman THE da For Hennepin county In minnesota who's another
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: like very liberal, Prosecutor Mary, moriarty and she dropped charges
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: for A minnesota. Man he'll be no longer criminally charged
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: for allegedly vandalizing six. Teslas he, was of, course the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: thirty three year old state employee caught on camera by
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the tesla's doing twenty thousand dollars in damage to the.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Vehicles you, KNOW i just have a feeling that IF
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: i were caught doing twenty thousand dollars of damage to,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: ANYTHING i would get in.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Trouble, nonetheless she lets this guy.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Go there are reports that a similar crime by someone
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: who was not a left of center. Protester, mysteriously that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: one was. Prosecuted so, Strange so. Strange this same, woman
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: by the, way THE doj is currently going after because
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: she openly copped to the fact that she's using race
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: as part of the decision making PROCESS us for plea.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Bargains.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Oops, yeah you can't do, That.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: So she might she might not be being a prosecutor
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: for much. Longer the left really should look up the
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: things that are actually against the law, right not only for,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: prosecuting but also for the things they are, doing because
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: it turns out racial discrimination for plea bargains it's not.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Allowed, yeah and this is like you could see the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: direct line To Donald trump from. This you could see
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: how people will hear this story and be, Like President,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: trump squash these.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: People, like make them.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Pay and when he, does when he likely, will there's
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: going to be an outcry about how he's you, know
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: involving himself in the judicial process or.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Whatever but it's patently.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Unfair it is, strong and it leads to distrust in our.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: System it leads to destruction of our. System this can't
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: be allowed to go.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: On, yeah and if you broke the, laws as they're
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: fond of, saying no one's above the.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Law and it does seem Like moriarty has been. Hesitated
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: one or.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Two people above the.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Law, yeah well including.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Herself it was, Like i'm going to racially discriminate in
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: my capacity as a. Prosecutor so, anyway you, know there
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: will be more stories to come of people being let,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: go and until they are prosecuted properly and, punished we
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: will continue to see this kind of chaos on.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Campuses SO i hope campuses get.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: WISE i just saw recently The university Of michigan ended
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: up not punishing a bunch of the students who they.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Were they were one of the better schools.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Because they actually did admit that these people were involved
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: in bad stuff and they didn't up end up expelling.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Them they're actually going to go forth and.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Graduate so it really emboldens these.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: People and you, know we talked about this story on
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the last, show But Mohammed, khan who is involved in
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the barstool bar In philly where they ordered a f
• 14:55
