Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: And in today's take away from the headlines, what we
- 0:07Speaker 1: learned is they're still throwing the gender trap games at us,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and it's more important than ever not to fall for them.
- 0:13Speaker 1: First one came from the Pentagon. This was amazing yesterday.
- 0:16Speaker 1: It's actually a great thing despite one of the that
- 0:19Speaker 1: everybody agrees on now one of the most successful strategic
- 0:23Speaker 1: military operations in the United States world history. You know
- 0:27Speaker 1: what the focus of the conversation was yesterday and the Pentagon,
- 0:31Speaker 1: Why did you misgender the pilots? Why did you only
- 0:33Speaker 1: congratulate the boys? Honestly, like that really happened. But the
- 0:37Speaker 1: Defense secretary's response was fantastic. We'll get it too that
- 0:40Speaker 1: we'll get through some of the real news before we
- 0:42Speaker 1: get through some new social trend, fun stuff to make
- 0:45Speaker 1: fun of. And here's another gender trap to not fall into.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Do you see this new social trend? Seems like it's
- 0:51Speaker 1: taking over. Don't worry seeing through it already. But there's
- 0:56Speaker 1: a viral video, as my kids like to say, everything
- 0:58Speaker 1: went viral of dudes taking the bride's last name at
- 1:02Speaker 1: a wedding. Eh, this might be the worst idea of
- 1:06Speaker 1: all time, but I'll tell you why. Before you call
- 1:08Speaker 1: me a misogynist. There's a specific reason why. We'll get
- 1:11Speaker 1: to all that more. But it's Friday. Welcome to it.
- 1:14Speaker 1: There's been so much heavy news, so we're gonna lighten
- 1:16Speaker 1: it up a little bit today, thank god. And kind
- 1:17Speaker 1: of a sure one, but that's okay, no less important.

- 1:44Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. Real news first from
- 1:47Speaker 1: the Pentagon. I mean, you can't get me realer than that,
- 1:49Speaker 1: right we all know by now this has been going
- 1:52Speaker 1: on for five straight days. The surgical strike taking out
- 1:58Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear capabilities was a massive success, despite what the
- 2:03Speaker 1: fake news tried to push, and we should have known
- 2:06Speaker 1: this right away when CNN and The New York Times
- 2:08Speaker 1: teamed up for this one. I mean, that's like the
- 2:13Speaker 1: Joker and the Riddler getting together to push some sort
- 2:15Speaker 1: of a fake operation on you. This was incredibly successful.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Oh did you see CNN backtracking? Now did you see
- 2:22Speaker 1: this one? He said, Well, our early report, which was
- 2:26Speaker 1: not exactly correct. We were just trying to ask the
- 2:28Speaker 1: correct questions, you know, when they were trying to push
- 2:30Speaker 1: and say it wasn't as successful as the US military
- 2:33Speaker 1: and Trump claimed, you know, anything to disparage Trump and
- 2:36Speaker 1: the US military and anything like this. Everyone, everyone, including
- 2:39Speaker 1: Iran or acknowledging that this was incredibly successful. Now here's
- 2:44Speaker 1: what happened. Here's the news stuff. We'll get through together.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's probably the most important news story from yesterday. Pete Hegsseeth,
- 2:50Speaker 1: the Defense Secretary. Boy am I glad that everybody stuck
- 2:53Speaker 1: by him in the confirmation process and got him in
- 2:55Speaker 1: there because something really important happened. And you should take
- 2:58Speaker 1: this as a win. You should look at that and say,
- 3:00Speaker 1: this is a good thing. This is a good thing,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and kind of a different thing that you've got certain departments,
- 3:07Speaker 1: certain elements and arms in the administration that's pushing back
- 3:11Speaker 1: against fake news media, even when the fake news is
- 3:15Speaker 1: coming from Fox News. This is why this is especially
- 3:18Speaker 1: relevant because what's the grand assumption, right Well, Fox is
- 3:23Speaker 1: always in the bag for President Trump. I will tell
- 3:25Speaker 1: you something, just as a news gatherer, and I've always
- 3:28Speaker 1: been like this, I will tell you honestly, I watch
- 3:32Speaker 1: and consume Fox News probably the least out of all
- 3:38Speaker 1: the media organizations online and new media out there, because
- 3:41Speaker 1: I know exactly what they're gonna do. So when you
- 3:43Speaker 1: do that, you realize right away, and you may have
- 3:45Speaker 1: figured this out right away. A lot of us became
- 3:47Speaker 1: aware of this in the twenty twenty election. Remember when
- 3:51Speaker 1: Fox called Arizona for Biden like five minutes after the
- 3:55Speaker 1: polls opened. Remember that one. They've never exactly been in
- 3:59Speaker 1: the bag for Trump as much as maybe a thought.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So that's why it's especially relevant that Pete Haggs, if
- 4:06Speaker 1: the Defense Secretary, pushed back against Jennifer Griffin. Fox News
- 4:10Speaker 1: is international reporter and she's the Pentagon you know, presspool
- 4:14Speaker 1: reporter for Fox, the big one. She's a big name. Yesterday,
- 4:17Speaker 1: this was this was something to behold. And I take
- 4:21Speaker 1: this and I think you should too. I really mean
- 4:23Speaker 1: that as a good thing that all of the fake
- 4:27Speaker 1: news is being pressed now, is being pushed back on.
- 4:31Speaker 1: So here was the here was the first part of it,
- 4:33Speaker 1: Here was part one yesterday.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?
- 4:37Speaker 3: Of course, we're watching every single aspect. But Jennifer, you've
- 4:40Speaker 3: been about the worst, the more, the one who misrepresents
- 4:44Speaker 3: the most intentionally. I know what the President says.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I'm familiar about the ventilations chefs on Saturday night, and
- 4:53Speaker 2: in fact, I was the first to describe the B
- 4:56Speaker 2: two bombers, the refueling, the entire mission with great accuracy.
- 5:01Speaker 2: So I take issue with that.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I appreciate you acknowledge that this was the first, the
- 5:05Speaker 3: most successful mission based on operational security that this department
- 5:11Speaker 3: has done since you've been here, And I appreciate that.
- 5:12Speaker 1: How about that? How about that? How about her making
- 5:15Speaker 1: as part of the story. And if you saw the
- 5:17Speaker 1: video from this, you saw when he had said that
- 5:19Speaker 1: to her, you've been about the worst. She looked around
- 5:22Speaker 1: at her colleagues and she was horrified, and then she
- 5:24Speaker 1: got all wide eyeden and she made herself the story,
- 5:28Speaker 1: which is what you see, with so many so called
- 5:32Speaker 1: and I'm using finger quotes here if you're only listening
- 5:34Speaker 1: so many journalists, they make themselves the story. And that's
- 5:38Speaker 1: what she did, and then she got mad and then
- 5:40Speaker 1: her questions got even more pointed from that. Again, it's
- 5:43Speaker 1: very significant that Pete Haggs have pushed directly back through
- 5:47Speaker 1: to a representative of Fox News in that one, very
- 5:50Speaker 1: very important. It should tell you, now, this is the
- 5:52Speaker 1: takeaway for all of us. It should tell you that
- 5:54Speaker 1: they're not afraid to call out fake news wherever it exists,
- 5:58Speaker 1: because they were just as bad as CNN. They picked
- 6:01Speaker 1: up on that story right away and ran with it. Well,
- 6:03Speaker 1: we were misled, and it turns out the administration was
- 6:06Speaker 1: wrong about the strike on iranium on Iranian nuclear plants?
- 6:13Speaker 1: Were they because it was an early assessment, way too early.
- 6:16Speaker 1: They got leaked by now they know Democrats in Congress
- 6:19Speaker 1: they know that. And also it was very very very
- 6:23Speaker 1: low confidence, meaning all the information having hadn't been gathered yet,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and he pointed this out yesterday in the press conference.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You know why they didn't have all the information yet
- 6:31Speaker 1: because the damage was done underground. But they still ran
- 6:35Speaker 1: with it right away. And they said, well, it only
- 6:38Speaker 1: setback Iran's nuke program, possibly by weeks total total inaccurate news.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But then it gets fun, all right, so we all
- 6:49Speaker 1: know that, right, But then it gets fun. So despite
- 6:52Speaker 1: talking about and asking questions about how they were able
- 6:55Speaker 1: to do it, the success of it, what this means
- 6:59Speaker 1: for the dominoes on the world stage, oh, you know,
- 7:00Speaker 1: all the big, heady important stuff. Right, How did the
- 7:04Speaker 1: conversation go after this after she took it personally? Where
- 7:06Speaker 1: did it go? The misgendering of the pilots, like this
- 7:11Speaker 1: really happened. This is one of the big This is
- 7:13Speaker 1: one of the biggest gender traps of all time. You
- 7:16Speaker 1: can't fall into now. The great thing is he didn't.
- 7:20Speaker 1: This was I loved this. I loved this response. And
- 7:24Speaker 1: really I think we can all learn from this. You know,
- 7:26Speaker 1: they try to they try to trap you into work,
- 7:29Speaker 1: and like, well, did you in that meeting? You didn't?
- 7:31Speaker 1: You just said you guys in general, you know you
- 7:34Speaker 1: didn't acknowledge. Uh, you know, the females that were in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the room. You know that nonsense, the gender game that
- 7:40Speaker 1: weapon people try to use. He wasn't having it. And
- 7:43Speaker 1: if the Defense Secretary's not having that. I don't think
- 7:46Speaker 1: you or I have to either. This is long, but
- 7:50Speaker 1: listen to how he handled this right here, And this
- 7:52Speaker 1: all goes back to that nontroversy about him coming out
- 7:55Speaker 1: and saying, I'm so proud of our are boys in
- 7:58Speaker 1: those bombers, of course, meaning female pilots too. It's like,
- 8:03Speaker 1: you know, in general, saying like you guys, right, but no,
- 8:07Speaker 1: they focused on that and they tried to make it
- 8:08Speaker 1: an issue. Great response. It's long, it's worth listening to
- 8:12Speaker 1: every second of this.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Absolutely, we're looking at all aspects of intelligence and making
- 8:15Speaker 3: sure we have a sense of what was where.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Here she goes.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission.
- 8:21Speaker 2: The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.
- 8:26Speaker 3: So when I say something like our boys and bombers,
- 8:28Speaker 3: see this is the kind of thing the press does. Right.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That's fantastic.
- 8:34Speaker 3: She's fantastic, she's a hero. I want more female bomber pilots.
- 8:37Speaker 3: I hope the men and women of our country sign
- 8:39Speaker 3: up to do such brave and audacious things. But when
- 8:42Speaker 3: you spin it as because I say our boys and
- 8:43Speaker 3: bombers as a common phrase. I'll keep saying things like that,
- 8:47Speaker 3: whether they're men or women. Very proud of that female pilot,
- 8:50Speaker 3: just like I'm very proud of those male pilots. And
- 8:52Speaker 3: I don't care if it's a male or a female
- 8:55Speaker 3: in that cockpit, and the American people don't care. But
- 8:57Speaker 3: it's the obsession with race and gender in this department
- 9:02Speaker 3: that's changed priorities and where we don't do that anymore.
- 9:04Speaker 1: We don't play your little games perfect. It might be
- 9:07Speaker 1: the perfect response. That's why it was so important that
- 9:11Speaker 1: he pushed back on Fox News of all people as well,
- 9:13Speaker 1: so that people not say, oh, you just give them
- 9:15Speaker 1: a pass all the time. No, no, they're gonna call
- 9:17Speaker 1: out fake news wherever it exists or wherever it comes from.
- 9:21Speaker 1: And also, let's remember this, petere Hagseth is a combat veteran.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I've got quite a few degrees as well on the
- 9:28Speaker 1: academic side. And let's not forget where he came from.
- 9:31Speaker 1: He was a media guy on Fox News itself. As
- 9:35Speaker 1: it turns out, he knows the game better than anybody.
- 9:38Speaker 1: He was the perfect guy, and I'm so glad he
- 9:40Speaker 1: did to call out that nonsense. So it's like the
- 9:44Speaker 1: same thing, and he did it perfectly too. Imagine now
- 9:46Speaker 1: you're in a you work in corporate world, you work
- 9:48Speaker 1: at it an organization, and you know, somebody accuses this
- 9:51Speaker 1: nonsense too. I'd appreciate it if you didn't use the
- 9:54Speaker 1: term guys when they're female in the room, or boys
- 9:57Speaker 1: or whatever like this. He had it perfectly, he said,
- 10:00Speaker 1: of course, we're proud of the females as well, and
- 10:04Speaker 1: it's a common expression I used. And that's your answer.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Somebody accuses us of that, you say, I used a
- 10:10Speaker 1: common expression, a colloquial expression. That's why handled that perfectly.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And what a shame, huh, what a shame that it
- 10:18Speaker 1: kind of devolved into a talk about you didn't acknowledge
- 10:23Speaker 1: the female pilots too, and when we should be talking
- 10:26Speaker 1: about one of the most successful missions of all time
- 10:29Speaker 1: and actually, you know, put everybody's mind at ease for
- 10:34Speaker 1: world peace at least for now, a tremendous achievement. But no,
- 10:37Speaker 1: it was about aren't you got to acknowledge the girls too?
- 10:42Speaker 1: Don't fall for gender traps. Another example, and this one's
- 10:46Speaker 1: a little bit more fun. Now this may scare you,
- 10:48Speaker 1: especially if you have sons who are about to get
- 10:51Speaker 1: married at some point in time, don't worry about it. Still,
- 10:53Speaker 1: this is just a it's a growing trend for social
- 10:56Speaker 1: media clicks on guess what, TikTok. You're right, Instagram a
- 11:01Speaker 1: little too. It's not like it's taken over the world.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But I will say this to anybody about to get married,
- 11:11Speaker 1: do not play around with this Russian roulette game they
- 11:15Speaker 1: call taking the bride's last name. Here's the story that
- 11:20Speaker 1: led us to this one. So a viral video, viral
- 11:24Speaker 1: as my kids call it, has taken place. Don't know
- 11:28Speaker 1: where it's from. It looks it's Upstates. It looks like
- 11:32Speaker 1: maybe the Midwest, might be upstate New York somewhere I
- 11:34Speaker 1: don't know. Beautiful wedding situation. Here's what here's why I
- 11:37Speaker 1: got so many clicks. Tens of thousands, might be millions
- 11:41Speaker 1: at this point, I don't know, which means other people
- 11:43Speaker 1: will try to copy it. And it's the summer wedding season.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. A couple getting married play the best
- 11:48Speaker 1: of three game of rock paper scissors. Well that's fun,
- 11:51Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. You know, right there under the arch
- 11:54Speaker 1: or it was a hoopa or something, but read a
- 11:58Speaker 1: little bit more to the story. And here's where you
- 12:01Speaker 1: might be disturbed. Like I was scissors to see whose
- 12:04Speaker 1: last name they would use moving forward. Uh oh, his
- 12:09Speaker 1: name is Pierce. Her is this hunter? He won the
- 12:13Speaker 1: first round. Okay, she won the second. Oh, it comes
- 12:18Speaker 1: down to the heart pumping tie breaker. Here's a little
- 12:24Speaker 1: reaction from the wedding guests after you know where I'm
- 12:28Speaker 1: going with this. This is what it sounded like from
- 12:29Speaker 1: the video. A whole lot of people excited there, including guys,
- 12:40Speaker 1: because you guessed it wouldn't be a story if she didn't.
- 12:44Speaker 1: She won scissors cuts, paper cuts, something else. If you
- 12:50Speaker 1: know what I mean, that mean they will be the hunters.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, and some of you're gonna
- 12:58Speaker 1: get mad at me, And that's okay because I will
- 13:00Speaker 1: tell you personally, this guy has zero chance, zero before
- 13:06Speaker 1: he even walks out of that wedding facility. Before he
- 13:10Speaker 1: even did, he should know. Somebody should tell him. Somebody
- 13:14Speaker 1: should warn him. And if you've been married for any
- 13:18Speaker 1: amount of time ten, fifteen, twenty years plus even five years,
- 13:22Speaker 1: you would know he will never win another argument. Again. Well, Bill,
- 13:25Speaker 1: that's not right. That's kind of misogynistic. I think it's cute,
- 13:28Speaker 1: do you, Because if you're willing to sacrifice your last name,
- 13:32Speaker 1: good luck with everything else, Pal, You have no shot
- 13:37Speaker 1: at anything now. Not don mean to say that you
- 13:39Speaker 1: need to argue all the time, and it needs to
- 13:40Speaker 1: be you know this and that, and you need to
- 13:41Speaker 1: lay down the law, and you're the man of the house.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I get it. We're all we're we're all you know,
- 13:45Speaker 1: evolved from that point in that right now. But if
- 13:47Speaker 1: you're willing to sacrifice your last name in this marriage,
- 13:52Speaker 1: I know it's a growing trend. Whatever, you have no shot.
- 13:56Speaker 1: This guy's going to be a cuck within two years.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Trust me on this one, no shot whatsoever. Plus think
- 14:02Speaker 1: the long term thing. If they plan on having kids
- 14:04Speaker 1: at some point, how confusing is that going to be
- 14:07Speaker 1: for the kids. You know that first second grade project
- 14:10Speaker 1: where they try to put together a family tree. But
- 14:11Speaker 1: d I don't understand this branch here on dad's side.
- 14:14Speaker 1: It says that, well, you know, it's blendy. This branch
- 14:17Speaker 1: goes into your side of the family because it's your
- 14:19Speaker 1: last name with Hunter, but he's appeared. I don't understand.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Thanks for the confusion. And confusing your kids already. But no,
- 14:26Speaker 1: you can imagine what the very first comments were. Now
- 14:29Speaker 1: I'm going by the comments not on tiktoking and imagine
- 14:31Speaker 1: what those are like. They would love it, but so
- 14:34Speaker 1: do they on a this is a New York Post
- 14:37Speaker 1: article where it got picked up. Me let me just
- 14:39Speaker 1: read the very first three comments in the comments section
- 14:42Speaker 1: I saw on this. This is incredibly cute. Okay, here's
- 14:48Speaker 1: the next one. Love seeing women in male dominated fields.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I don't understand that. What do you mean in male
- 14:53Speaker 1: Are you referring to the what male dominated marriage? Is
- 14:56Speaker 1: that what they're talking about? Or they just wanted to
- 14:59Speaker 1: get that in there. I don't Here's the third one.
- 15:01Speaker 1: I wrote down three in a row. Taking the bride's
- 15:04Speaker 1: last name is so normal in twenty twenty five, is it?
- 15:09Speaker 3: Well?
- 15:09Speaker 1: This make you feel a little bit better. According to
- 15:12Speaker 1: the latest social survey, it's only about nineteen percent of
- 15:16Speaker 1: people who are actually in favor of this, So mostly
- 15:18Speaker 1: it's still traditional here for those very same reasons. But
- 15:21Speaker 1: I will guarantee you it's going to be a growing
- 15:23Speaker 1: trend from here going forward. Guys, don't do it. Do
- 15:28Speaker 1: not do this, and hope you will ever ever win
- 15:32Speaker 1: another argument again. Before you walked away from that wedding facility,
- 15:37Speaker 1: before you got in the limo and got to the honeymoon,
- 15:42Speaker 1: you have already given up and sacrificed a major part
- 15:46Speaker 1: of your identity. And eventually, eventually she's not going to
- 15:50Speaker 1: respect that. I will tell you, how about when you
- 15:52Speaker 1: get to the honeymoon too, you check into some beautiful
- 15:54Speaker 1: hotel or a cruise or whatever, and the guy checking
- 15:57Speaker 1: you in it is gonna be like, Okay, well, congratulations
- 16:00Speaker 1: the pierces we have and she'd be like, uh uh
- 16:02Speaker 1: where the hunters? I won the last round? Jess agrees
- 16:07Speaker 1: to take my name. Don't do not fall for social
- 16:13Speaker 1: media gender traps. You don't have to in a world
- 16:16Speaker 1: of that guy be like Pete Haggsif and say we're
- 16:20Speaker 1: not playing those games anymore, you will regret it, I'm
- 16:23Speaker 1: telling you. And by the way, when you're already down
- 16:25Speaker 1: that road and you know how hard it is to
- 16:28Speaker 1: change a name for anybody, and then if you agree
- 16:32Speaker 1: in a couple of years that you don't like that
- 16:33Speaker 1: so much and you try to change it back, good
- 16:36Speaker 1: luck with that, because it's a pain in the ass
- 16:37Speaker 1: at the county clerk's office wherever you live, so don't
- 16:41Speaker 1: fall for her. All right, let's get into the weekend.
- 16:45Speaker 1: To get out of here. I'm out of material and
