• 0:09
  Speaker 2: You're never gonna believe this.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: I know it's shocking, but there were some insane news
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: over the weekend to catch you up on. Not all
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: of it bad, not all of it bad at all,
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: but nonetheless crazy. But that's okay. I'll talk you through this.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: We'll make sense of this whole thing, but more importantly,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: what you can do about it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: That's what I do.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Eanks in front of the Wicked Radio livestream, all part

  Speaker 3: doing something, when something's happening here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot to talk about.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Here's the great news that Sydney Sweeney ad is doing
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: great things for American Eagle and I was looking for this.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: This is the full circle wrap up moment of this
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: entire affair. What would American Eagles reaction be to all this?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I think you're gonna like it. I think you're gonna
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: like it a lot. Trump likes it. He even responded
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: to this thing. You know, when an ad campaign is successful,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: and when even the president is very aware of it,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: he's probably saved it in his book marks, and he's
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: watched it like thirteen times.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I have no idea, but he'll talk about that as well.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: In scary news, and this was the most insane thing
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen. The New York Times ran an op
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: ed that picked up steam over the weekend about redefining death,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: how and why for organ donation. Now, I'm gonna not
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: gonna try to change your mind on this, but I'll
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: tell you if you are freaked out by this, what
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: you can do for it. And in other medical news,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it's funny. We have like a theme today with medical miracles.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: The world's oldest baby was born the oldest embryo anyway,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: because the egg was frozen in nineteen ninety four. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: there are ethical questions, but let's admit it here, this
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: is kind of amazing, isn't.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It that can even happen.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: It's a miracle. It's miracle war all here, thanks for
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: finding me. All right, let's get right you're gonna like this.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: You're gonna like this a lot.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I told you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Crazy news continues, but it's not all bad. American Eagle,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the jeens company, the clothing company, has made a statement
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: about the Sydney Sweeney ad many times. Last week in
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the live stream the podcast, I talked about the woke
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: outrage mob calling this a call for fascism.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: This this play on words on jeans and Sidney Sweeney
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and how dare they put an attractive female, blonde, blue hyde,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: blue eyed, with big boobs in an ad. It ito's fascism.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Almost all of the world sees that as ridiculous. Now
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that's the first thing that should make you feel great,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: because they are insane. The outrage mob their nuts. It
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: was mostly very self hated, ugly people who were against
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the ad. And now American Eagle has responded. Oh and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: by the way, the jeans are selling outlift and right, massive,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: massive success, which means other companies will follow suit in
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: their advertising. Prioritizing and celebrating the beauty of the American
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: female body is back. It is not going away. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the first piece of good news. The second is we've
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: got a company now in American Eagle. That's not backing
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: down to the outrage mob.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I can't love this enough. Here's the official statement. Sidney
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Sweeney has great genes, is.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And always was about the genes. Yeah, could we go
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: back to that for a second. It was a play
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: on words, her jeans, her story.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: See.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I like what they did there in the statement. They
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: made it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: They kind of took the playbook away from the lunatic
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: lefties and they made it about the feminism thing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Very smart. We'll continue.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: They go on to say, to celebrate how everyone wears
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: their ae jeens with confidence, their way. Great genes look
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: good on everyone. That might be the perfect statement, the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: perfect statement to end all of this, and they get
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: some extra playoff it. Let's, you know, be honest about this.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: It's just a smart advertising move, American Eagle. I salute
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: you first of all for not backing down, and secondly
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: for a very creative ad and response.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: What kind of ad was this?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Let's let's review just for just.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: For somethings are passed on from parents to offspring, often
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: determining traits like her color, personality, and even eye color.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: My chains are blue, Sydney.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, she does have great genes. Yes she does. But
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: here's more for the outrage.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Mob to to dig into to see the bout so BuzzFeed.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I can't believe they're still in an existence, but they
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: still are. It's just a horrible outlet media outlet. They
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: dug up Sydney Sweeney's voting records. Dun, dun, dull.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: First shocking thing to me was I didn't know she
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was a Florida resident. I had no idea.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Hmm, interesting, I'll have to keep my eyes open on
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the road for great gens, right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And they also dug that they duged. They dug deeper,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and they found that she had registered before as a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Republican in the state of Florida.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, not only is the attic a call for fascism
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: with the jeans, Oh she's a registered Republican. How dare
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: her have a mind of her own go against the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: left wing media hypocrisy out in Hollywood?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Well, this will really send the outrage mob over the edge.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: But I thought this was hilarious. So some reporter just
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: got the hold of this story and they caught up
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: with Trump on the tarmac heading too. I think it
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: was Marine one, not Air Force one. Either way, it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: loud in the background, but he got he got this
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: reaction and this is this is how he felt about
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that piece of.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Who was carry she's a registered Republican. Oh now, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: love her head? Is that right?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: To Sydney Schmide, you'd be surprised at how many people
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: are Republicans.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: First of all, that's just a funny, funny as hell
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: response to that kind of thing. You know, even if
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you don't like Trump, you can't not admire how that
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: guy thinks on his feet. I mean, that's just a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: funny reaction. But there's something a little nugget in there
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of truth that's really important. What he said in there,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: he said, you know, comes back to the reporter and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: kind of a wink, wink, nod nod and says, you'd
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: be amazed at how many people actually vote Republican, referring
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: to celebrities but are afraid to talk about it. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: we've heard stories back and forth over the years that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of people in entertainment that actually have
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: their own opinions, but they're afraid to say them because
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: they want to still work, you know, they don't want
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to get blacklisted. He who would know that better than Trump?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: And he kind of hinted around at that, So it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: kind of amazing. I have to wonder too. I wouldn't
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: imagine that Sidney Sweeney's going to come out with any
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: kind of a statement that apologizes for how she's voted
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: in the past because BuzzFeed decided to dig it up.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: But you gotta wonder if stuff like this happens and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a big brand like American Eagle decides not to back down,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: If how how soon or how long it's gonna take
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: for celebrities to come out and say, yeah, I'm not
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: backing down.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: This is how I feel about certain things. I don't know.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It would still be better if celebrities keep their political
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: opinions to themselves, But again, this is different. She didn't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: want to get this information out there. They dug up
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: her records, not her fault. All right, that was fun.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: See I told you it's not all bad news. It's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: good news. There company not backing down. Let's go to
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the swamp though for some serious news. Very quickly.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: No, while the investigation continued and the talking heads were
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: talking about Russia collusion, who's behind that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Wink wink, nod, nod. I think we know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And also the story about the border and the jobs
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: reporting us all this other crap that comes out of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: national news very quietly, maybe maybe the biggest story of
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: all time came out.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: This is what I voted for.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And I don't care whether you're left, right, blue, red,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: whatever the hell you want to call yourself. Everybody, this
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is everybody should be in favor of having secured elections.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Is one of my major voting points, going going back
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to every election.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: In fact, well they've started.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: The report is the Department of Justice is cleaning up
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the voter roles, calling on all states to provide what
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: they have, and they're hinting around at the thought of
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: an audit.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: This one's audio only. Let's go to Fox News with
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the report.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: This came out on Saturday, where they're going to make
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a big push for this one.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Trump administration looking to boost election integrity as the DOJ
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: opens a nationwide investigation into voter roles. The apartment is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: calling on local officials to identify felons, dead voters, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: also non citizens who might have.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Cast a ballot. No, okay, that's just the beginning of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the story.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Here kind of sums up exactly where they're going with
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: this and so far anyway, I mean, what have we
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: learned about this administration, the Trump administration two point zero
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: so far. When they leak out this news and they
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: start to identify what they're going to do, especially through
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the Department into Justice, whether successful or not, they jump
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: on it right away. In other words, seems to be
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the pattern so far with this administration. They'll send out
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a press release or make a press conference, tell the
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: media outlets what they're gonna do. So far, anyway, I
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: think they're mo is they're already starting to work on it,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, So they can kind of
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: like send out a test balloon, see what the public,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: see what the base feels about this, and then they
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: start to get to work on it. So apparently reportedly
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: this has already started now to clean up the voting rules,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and they're starting to put the screws to every single
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: state elections office, all fifty of them, to clean up
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: their voting rules. Here's the most important thing of the
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: entire story. Out of all of that, besides the fact
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that it seems like shocking they're actually doing this right,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: this is we shouldn't even have to get to this point,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: but they are. Here's the real story so far, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: they're expected to hear from more. So far, two states
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: are already pushing back, making statements saying they're not going
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to do this. I know it's incredible, but happening. Minnesota
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and Maine, with more on the way, expected to push back.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Get this just even saying it sounds bizarre to push
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: back against cleaning up their voting rules and providing the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Department of Justice, the federal Department of Justice, with the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: information they need to get rid of dead voters, illegal voters,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: people that shouldn't be voting, duplicate votes, voting schemes, all
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: of it so far, and those two words are the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: story so far. Two states already pushing back, Maine and Minnesota. Now,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in my little pea brain, I'm thinking, well, if there
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: was a call from the Department of Justice for any organization, state, company,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, agency, anything to show your work and they
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: push back on it. I may be simplistic here, but
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: that tells me you are crooked as hell and you're
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: trying to cheat.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That's just my takeaway. So that's going to be frustrating.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: This is going to be a massive legal challenge is
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the Department of Justice, oh God forbid, tries to clean
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: up our voting rules and secure our elections.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: The pushback on this is going to be infuriating. It's
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: gonna drive you crazy. It's gonna be insane, it's gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: be maddening, it's gonna seem bizarre. We're even in this world.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Here's the great thing, here's the great takeaway on this.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: It's going to expose all of the rats in this case.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: They're giant rats because they're states. Right, The schemes are
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: going to be unveiled on who's first of all, look
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: for the states who's pushing back. Look for the major
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: political figures who are pushing back, because those are the rats.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Those are the people trying to cheat elections, and they're
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: going to be exposed now in this administration. They may
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: not get this done, but they're gonna roll this wheel
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: down the hill, and the process is already going to
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: be started to clean up the voter rules despite the pushback,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: which I know is unbelievable that there are states even
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: pushing back, because if you have fair elections, there's no
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: cheating going on. There's gonna be plenty of states going, yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: look at our books. Great, We're proud of this. We're
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: proud of because you know what, We're a state that
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: cleaned up our own voter rolls before he even came
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to us. So we would love to brag about this.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Those are the good ones. Watch out for the rats.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: But the good news is they expose themselves in the sunlight.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be great. That's gonna be awesome.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: All Right, this is horrifying. I even I intentionally held
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: back on this story because I'm still reeling from it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There was an.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Op ed that came out lace late last week and
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: it made a lot of headway. It really gained a
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: lot of traction. I would even dare say it went
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: viral over the weekend, an op ed in the New
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: York Times. Say what you will about the New York Times,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: but there's still plenty of people who they're still very
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: influential in certain circles Washington business world and the medical community,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: which is what our story hears all about. I'm gonna
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: give you, okay, I'm gonna read you the headline of
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: the op ed, the title of the op ed, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: you tell me your immediate reaction to this, and the
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: first thing you think of this is the I'll tell
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you about the guy that wrote it in just a second. Ready,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: donor organs are too rare. We need a new definition
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: of death. Yeah, I'll read it again. Donor organs are
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: too rare. Right there, it would have been interesting and
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: most people would have said, yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, you
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: know is there are a lot of people who are
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I'm an organ donator. For now, we need a new
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: definition of death. What are they talking about here?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Let me go on.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna read the whole thing because you really
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: don't need to read too far into this to realize
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: how dark this is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Now. The guy that wrote it is Sandeep Jahar.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: In promoting this and getting it out there, he put
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: on his X account and I'm sure maybe Instagram or
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Facebook two, I don't know, but this is from X.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: This is what he says, death is not simply a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: biological fact, but it's also a social choice. To increase
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the number of donor organs, we should expand the death
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: definition of death.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And then he goes and he links the op ed.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: What does it say in the op ed?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: The need for donor organs is urgent and estimated fifteen
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: people die in this country every day waiting for a transplant.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: We got to figure out how to obtain more healthy
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: organs from donors while maintaining strict ethical standards. Right, here's
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: a real interesting part. New technologies can help, but the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: best solution we believe is legal. We need to broaden
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the definition of death.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Even that headline is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: One of the darkest things I have ever seen in
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: my entire life or even heard, Like, I can't believe
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: they even came out with that. Now, not my job,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and I don't know why you would listen to me
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: anyway for medical advice or what you want to do
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: with your body, or how you want to be cremated,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: what you do with your family.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I totally understand that. I'm just giving you my opinion.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I already have a very very healthy distrust of the
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: overall medical system that we have. I just do That's
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: just me, personal experience, what I've learned.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Throughout the years.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Blah blah bl They also have a very unhealthy trust
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of the health insurance and medical insurance industry.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Again, that's just me. Do what you want whatever.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But I saw this and I read this, and I
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: looked into it and saw some of the reaction from
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the people supporting this, and I said, yeah, I'm gonna
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: look into ways to get my name off the donor
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: registry because they're insane. I don't trust like the guy
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: who wrote this and his co authors. I don't trust
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: them to make the decision on how dead I am.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: It's crazy to even say that, not if I'm dead,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: how dead I am? Like, how does it work? Well,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: he's got he's got a five percent chance of making
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: it through. You know, I'm in the recovery room, I'm
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: in the ICU. He's got a five percent chance according
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to our new definitions.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That's close enough. Pull the plug. What if I don't
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: have a health advocate? What if I don't have I
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: can't speak for myself.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I'd be out of it, right, I'd be all, you know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: drugged up and everything else. What if I don't have
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: a health advocate in my room at the time with
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: my family, even if they are there in the hospital,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: but they decided to go on a coffee break, right,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: you know, they're out of the room for a couple
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: of minutes. Over at two o'clock in the morning, all
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, the doctor decides to pull the plug
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: on me and start harvesting my organs. There's something very
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: wrong with this. And again, I'll say it again. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: don't want to talk you or scare you into any
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: of this kind of stuff, but the fact that this
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: is out there, this is insane to me that they're
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: even pushing this out there. This is so insanely dark.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: And I'll throw this out there as well. Why is
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: it even an issue? It's organ donation. Everybody loves that, right,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: this same outlet, And I wanted to go to the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: New York Times for this because it's, you know, comparing
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: apples to apples. They had another obit about organ donation
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: in it was July twentieth, No, it was July. I
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: don't know the date, but it was twenty twenty and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: it said, this same same outlet, a push for more
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: organ transplants, putting donors at risk.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Well that's interesting, isn't it. That's really interesting.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: So in conversations with friends and family that I have,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: because like I said, I've always been a an organ
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: donat donor, I've always thought, well, it's a great thing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody should do that, right.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm rethinking that now and again it is the
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: fourth time has said a personal choice. Not trying to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: influence you either way on that, but interesting, there are
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: so many searches after this article. This is what they
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: don't understand. They're scar they're scaring people away from donating
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: organs now.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: One of the number one.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Searches on search engines this weekend after this article came
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: out was how to get your name.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Off the organ donor list.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: This is what happens, a natural result, and if you're
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: interested in that, plenty of information out there. You're going
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to identify your state's donor registry, update your status online,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: visit the DMV or they have a form to get
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: your name off there. You can update your driver's license
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I D. You could check registries if necessary. Certainly talk
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to your family and if there's a good.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Piece of news this whole thing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: It opens up the discussion, you know, with your friends
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and family and what you want to do with this
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: in case something really goes bad. And you can search
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: specific states to see where you are on this.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: My choice. But I cannot believe that was even a headline.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Cannot believe it. Incredible.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: So that's the dark side of that's the really dark
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: side of I'll call it the medical community. Let's go
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: to something bright, because I know there are ethical concerns
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: in this story.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I understand that there are a lot of people actually
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: upset about this one.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Personally, I'm fascinated by this, not to get into the
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: morality of it or the medical ethics of.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It, but what if.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: An egg that was harvested from a lady in nineteen
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: ninety four was just born in the form of a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: baby boy this past weekend. Because it happened, they're calling
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: him the world's oldest baby. Because of when the eggs
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: were harvested, Linda and Tim Pearce's son, Thaddius was born.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: The egg originally came from nineteen ninety four. Let's go
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to the story on this to explain it a little
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: bit better. Here's a I think it's ABC News with
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the story.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Right now, doctors are marveling at what's being called the
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: world's oldest baby. The Ohio boy was born from an
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: embryo frozen in nineteen ninety four, and he was conceived
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: in a lab by a couple using IVF, which was
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: relatively new.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: At the time.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: His adoptive parents found the embryo through a Christian adoption
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: embryo agency. And so for more on all this, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: want to bring in.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is that is something.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: It's amazing to me that they can actually do that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: And the egg survived, and he went out to talk
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: to a doctor who said, really, the only risk is
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the health of the mother at egg donation time to
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: be frozen. That's the most important fact. And then of
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: course through the IVF you know thing, I know there
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: are a lot of people who are against IVF and know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: you know, for religious reasons whatever, But can we just take,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: especially after the dark organ transplation transplant story, can we
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: at least take the medical miracle that this is and
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: appreciate it for what it is. I mean this nineteen
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: ninety four. Of course, my thought was, what if the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: kid comes out and he grows up as a child
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of the nineties with all that sensibility, because we all
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: know kids who are from the nineties, and that may
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: be you right now. You're a lot different than the
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: kids that were born ten years ago. You were a
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: lot tougher, you were a lot less woke. What if
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: the kid comes up with all the characteristics of.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: The mid nineties that would be great anyway.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Take that for what you will, but the main takeaway
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: is don't back down from anybody like that American Eagles
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: American Eagle brand, because they didn't and their result is
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: they're winning.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: About that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: See crazy news as always, but not all of it bad.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: It's how you kind of reprocess things this and make
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it work for yourself.
