- 1:24I like to issue this disclaimer at the very beginning
- 1:28of each and every episode of the Igarius William Show.
- 1:32I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican. I am
- 1:35someone that has grown tired over the course of his
- 1:38lifetime of the political system here in this country. So
- 1:41if you're someone that's like minded like myself, and you've
- 1:44grown tired of the political system in this country, I
- 1:47think you're gonna enjoy what you're about to hear. So
- 1:50once again, just sit back and enjoy yourself. Episode sixteen.
- 1:55What's the title of it? You may be wondering. That's
- 1:58a pretty interesting question, because by the time you guys
- 2:01hear this episode, you will have already known what the
- 2:04episode title was going to be. I went with a
- 2:07couple of different options before sitting down to record this
- 2:10for you guys, but the option that I settled on
- 2:14was simply this, The truth shall set you free.
- 2:17Speaker 2: We live in a time now where.
- 2:19Speaker 1: The truth almost seems like it's locked up somewhere and
- 2:23only a handful of people seem to.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Have the key to it. Everybody is always.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Telling you that they're the ones that's giving you the
- 2:30truth straight no Chaser, they're the ones that's not misleading you.
- 2:33But every time you turn around, it always feels like
- 2:36we the masses, are being misled by those who claim
- 2:40that their job is to tell us the truth straight
- 2:42no Chaser. Prime example of this, there's this big fuss
- 2:47here lately about the mainstream media and how so many
- 2:51people have decided, you know what, I no longer believe
- 2:54that the mainstream media serves my interest. On one hand,
- 2:58you have networks like seeing in NBCABCCBS, MS NOW News Nation,
- 3:05where it seems like the majority of the time they
- 3:08lean democratic. And then you have other networks on the
- 3:11other side like Fox One, American News, Newsmax, Bright Bart,
- 3:16so on and so forth, and you can tell that
- 3:18they have a very strong Republican leaning, and both networks
- 3:21accuse the other of doing the thing that they claim
- 3:24that they're not doing. For an example, CNN is always
- 3:27trying to tell you and I that they believe in
- 3:30reporting right down the middle. They have no biases whatsoever.
- 3:34But if you tune into any CNN programming, more times
- 3:38than not, it is going to lean very heavily into
- 3:41the Democratic column. If you go and turn on any
- 3:44Fox News program, it's going to lean mostly into the
- 3:47Republican column.
- 3:48Speaker 2: So all of these.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Networks are trying to get you and I to buy
- 3:52into this notion that they're giving us the truth, when
- 3:54in all actuality, they're only giving us the truth of
- 3:57the side that they like. And that's the reason why
- 4:00I also have such a hard problem or hard time
- 4:03with the President of the United States when he routinely
- 4:06comes out and calls out networks like CNN, CBS, ABC.
- 4:10Speaker 2: For reporting on him unfairly.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And I think to myself, well, you have networks whose
- 4:15sole job it is to report on you positively, So
- 4:18why are you so obsessed with the networks that don't
- 4:21report on you positively. If I'm the kind of person
- 4:25that was, in Donald Trump's position, the most powerful man
- 4:28on the face of the earth right now, I wouldn't
- 4:31concern myself with the opinions of people who don't like me.
- 4:34Because when you walk into a job like president of
- 4:38the United States, you understand almost immediately that the vast
- 4:42majority of the country is not going to like you,
- 4:44because it's gonna be something that you're gonna do that's
- 4:46gonna piss him off. And it seems like from the
- 4:49very beginning when Donald Trump first announced that he was
- 4:52running for president back in twenty fifteen, most Americans had
- 4:55already made up their minds that they were never going
- 4:57to support him because of the very viow things that
- 5:01he said the day that he announced, and some of
- 5:03the other things that came up in his past when
- 5:05he ran for president the first time. So people have
- 5:08already had this preconceived notion that, hey, it doesn't matter
- 5:11what this guy does, I will never be able to
- 5:14support him because he's not my cup of teeth. The
- 5:16same could be said about Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George
- 5:19w Bush, Bill Clinton. You go all the way back
- 5:22to the first president, George Washington, and I guarantee you
- 5:25there was somebody out there that had something to say
- 5:27negatively about him. So we have to get out of
- 5:31this mind warp of believing that these networks are in
- 5:36the sole business of telling you and ere the truth.
- 5:38We have to get out of his mind warp of
- 5:40believing that politicians have our best interests at heart.
- 5:43Speaker 2: You have so many Americans.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Who are thoroughly convinced that their representatives are telling them
- 5:49the truth. Here in Mississippi, for an example, you have
- 5:52a vast majority of Mississippi Republicans who will sit idly
- 5:56by and tell you that they believe every single thing
- 6:00that Michael Guests tells them, that they believe every single
- 6:02thing that Benny Thompson tells them, that they believe every
- 6:05single thing that Cindy Hyge Smith and Roger Wicker tells them.
- 6:09I have adopted the principle that, hey, everything a politician
- 6:12says needs to be put under a microscope to see
- 6:15if it's really the truth or is it the truth
- 6:17just spun in a way that they like. So don't
- 6:22be the person that's blindly out here trusting these politicians
- 6:26when you know all the while that they're not giving
- 6:28you the unadultraded truth. The truth is at a premium,
- 6:33and it doesn't matter if you're someone who watches mainstream
- 6:37news or if you're someone who watches independent news or
- 6:41independent media. Is what you choose to consume. It doesn't
- 6:43matter even the independent people are not really telling you
- 6:47all that there is to know because some of them
- 6:51are bought and paid for by the very people who
- 6:55they claim are misleading. You think of all of these
- 6:58quote unquote political influences, the Bennett Johnson's, the Hassan Pikers,
- 7:04the Tucker Carlson's, Megan Kelly, Candace Owens, Officer Tatum. Just
- 7:10go down the list of the political influencers and ask yourself.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Are they really giving me what I really need to know?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Or are they thoroughly compromised by the people that they
- 7:22tell me that they're not compromised by. I brought this
- 7:27up in an earlier episode, and I'm gonna use it
- 7:29again here right now. Megan Kelly's tagline for her show
- 7:34is no BS, no agenda, No fear. But it seems
- 7:38like her show has a very strong Republican leaning, and
- 7:42I would have no problem with that if she came
- 7:44out and said, you know what, my show leans.
- 7:46Speaker 2: More conservative than liberal.
- 7:49Speaker 1: And I know what someone out there may be saying, well,
- 7:51you should have already known that her show was going
- 7:53to be mostly conservative because she spent the better part
- 7:56of her media career at Fox News.
- 7:58Speaker 2: And I would say true, but she said in her book,
- 8:03and she.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Said numerous times in interviews that she's not a conservative,
- 8:08she's not a liberal. She's someone that identifies as an independent.
- 8:12But it's hard to tell sometimes when you watch her
- 8:14show or you listen to her show, and you hear
- 8:17the things that she says about the conservatives, and then
- 8:19you turn around and you hear the things that she
- 8:21says about the liberals. The truth shall set you free.
- 8:28And the minute that you realize that the people who
- 8:30continue to peddle this notion that they're the ones that's
- 8:32operating in truth, the minute that you're able to walk
- 8:36away from that and say, you know what, I no
- 8:38longer believe you guys are serving my best interests, then
- 8:41you get the true freedom that you need to go
- 8:44and do your own independent research.
- 8:48Speaker 2: I've never told you guys.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Since I started this podcast, to never go and research
- 9:01what I say. If I say something on here and
- 9:05you want to go do your own independent investigation into
- 9:08what I've said, by all means, do it. And if
- 9:11I'm wrong about something, I would greatly appreciate it if
- 9:14you chose to let me know. I'm not gonna be
- 9:17the person that's gonna scold my audience. If I say something,
- 9:20you guys, go and prove that what I said was incorrect.
- 9:23You come back and tell me that it's incorrect, and
- 9:25I'll call you guys a bunch of foods for not
- 9:27believing what I said. I'm not gonna do that, because
- 9:30the best kind of criticism that you can ever receive
- 9:32is constructive criticism, because constructive criticism keeps you honest with
- 9:37yourself from people who have a vested interest in what
- 9:42it is that you're trying to do. Most people are
- 9:45not trying to lead you astray in your personal life.
- 9:48But those politicians and those influences, they're the ones that
- 9:51are trying to lead you astray. They're the ones that
- 9:55are having you believe that our soul fight should be
- 9:59Democrat versus Republican, red state versus blue state.
- 10:05Speaker 2: That's not our fight.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And the more and more people that wake up and realize, hey,
- 10:10that's not our fight, the better off we would be
- 10:13in terms of trying to go and save this country.
- 10:16I did an episode not too long ago called preserving
- 10:19our Future, and that's basically what we should be doing
- 10:22right now. We should be doing everything in our power
- 10:25to preserve our future, because right now our future is
- 10:30not looking very spectacular. And a lot of that has
- 10:35to do with people's continue dependence on politicians who will
- 10:38look out for their own best interest while throwing you
- 10:41under the bus and serving you up to their donors,
- 10:45serving you up to the people that are trying to
- 10:48destroy your way of life. It's always politicians telling you
- 10:52that they're fighting for your freedoms while they go to Washington,
- 10:56DC and do everything they can to strip you up
- 10:58said freedoms. It's always the politicians telling you that, hey,
- 11:05if you vote for me, you're Republican. I'm gonna go
- 11:08to DC. I'm gonna stand up to the swamp, gonna
- 11:10stand up to the Democrats. Meanwhile, they're working behind the
- 11:14scenes with the Democrats to destroy whatever credibility that they
- 11:18had when they first went there. The fight is not
- 11:26with each other, or it shouldn't be with each other.
- 11:30The fight should be with those in positions of power
- 11:32who continue to tell you and I that our fight
- 11:34should be with each other. The worst piece of advice
- 11:39anybody can give, hey, fight with your neighbor because they
- 11:42got a different campaign sign in their yard. Fight with
- 11:45your neighbor because they believe that congressional map should.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Be drawn differently.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Fight with your neighbor because they believe that you're using
- 11:55too much water and you should be conserving water so
- 11:57that way we can save the planet. The truth shall
- 12:03set you free. And it's so great to see so
- 12:07many people wake up and say, you know what, instead
- 12:10of fighting with my neighbor, how about it be in
- 12:14our best interest to get along with each other so
- 12:16that way we can see different viewpoints. I've made it
- 12:21abundantly clear in previous episodes that I would have no
- 12:23problem being friends with anybody of any political elk as
- 12:29long as they're willing to say, you know what, I
- 12:31want to hear you out. I don't want to come
- 12:35to the table with all my Democratic beliefs and force
- 12:39you to believe in. I don't want to come to
- 12:41the table with all my Republican beliefs and force you
- 12:44to believe in. I'm willing to hear you out on things,
- 12:47and I'm willing to open my mind up to different
- 12:50avenues of thinking that I've never thought about, that I've
- 12:54never considered. That's the reason why they don't want us unified.
- 13:02That's the reason why they want us always fighting each
- 13:05other because it keeps us distracted from what we need
- 13:08to be focusing on. That's the reason why they fought
- 13:12so hard to keep TikTok from being banned, because they
- 13:16know that there is a large contingent group of Americans
- 13:21that would go crazy without their TikTok, would go crazy
- 13:26without their Instagram, would go crazy without their Facebook, their YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, Amazon, Prime,
- 13:36Paramount plus Peacock, all these different things. If they keep
- 13:41your attention focused on those things, you won't be able
- 13:44to focus enough attention on the things that matter. Some
- 13:51people may listen to this and they may say, you're
- 13:53a conspiracy theorist, you're a nutcase. But it seems like
- 13:58here lately, those of us that would be considered to
- 14:01be netcases have been getting a lot of things right.
- 14:06For an example, doctor Fauci and his testimony last week
- 14:13to the Senate, or to the Senate, to one of
- 14:16the Senate committees, would be a better way of paraphrasing
- 14:18that gets up there and please the fifth one hundred
- 14:23and eleven times. And instead of most mainstream liberals saying, hey,
- 14:29you know what, what Fauci did was disgraceful. We can't
- 14:34defend that what they chose to do was sit back
- 14:38and say, hey, how dare you guys criticize Faucia for
- 14:42having a diary number one and number two? How dare
- 14:45you guys criticize Fauci for getting up there and not
- 14:49wanting to answer questions for that dog and pony show
- 14:51that the Republicans set up. Now, I will agree with
- 14:54the Liberals on that point. Anybody with enough sense could
- 14:59easily sit back and say, hey, more than likely you
- 15:04know that Fauci understands what it is that you guys
- 15:08are trying to do. So he's gonna get up there
- 15:10and he's not gonna answer any of your questions because
- 15:12he knows that any question that he answers is just
- 15:15gonna open a trap door to another question that becomes
- 15:17another trap, than another trap, and another trap. When I
- 15:22first heard that Fauci was gonna be on Capitol Hill,
- 15:26test to find I was not one of those people
- 15:28that was jumping up for Joyce saying they're gonna get him,
- 15:30They're gonna nail that bastard, Because why would I say
- 15:34such a thing if I already knew that Fauci was
- 15:37gonna go up there and basically not offer any information
- 15:40or any apologies to those people that he hurt while
- 15:43he led the country's COVID nineteen response team. Fauci has
- 15:49a lot of blood on his hands, the same way
- 15:52that a lot of politicians in twenty twenty have blood
- 15:55on their hands for some of the actions that they
- 15:57chose to take.
- 15:59Speaker 2: For those who.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Over and over and over again pushed the vaccine, hey
- 16:05take the shot and you won't be able to transmit COVID.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Take the shot and everything would go right back to normal.
- 16:12Speaker 1: And as I stated in the previous episode, for those
- 16:16of you out there that wants to throw all the
- 16:21blame at the feet of Joe Biden, best believe had
- 16:25Donald Trump won the twenty twenty election, he would have
- 16:28done probably the exact same thing that Biden did mandate
- 16:31in the vaccine, because in Trump's eyes, he wanted to
- 16:34reopen the greatest economy in the history of our country,
- 16:37and the longer that stay closed, the harder it would
- 16:40be for the economy to rebuild itself coming out of
- 16:43the pandemic, which we're still continuing to see six years later,
- 16:49and there are signs out there that this economy will
- 16:52never get back to where it was pre COVID, but
- 16:55I think most of us have come to that realization
- 16:58by now. So Fuci went from being the doctor that
- 17:06people listen to to better understand COVID to being the
- 17:10doctor that people look at.
- 17:12Speaker 2: And say, wait a minute.
- 17:14Speaker 1: This guy funded the gang of function research at the
- 17:17Wuhan Lab in China. And this is the same guy
- 17:20who had no problem with his celebrity status. He went
- 17:25from being a doctor who cared about science to being
- 17:28a doctor who cared about how many celebrities he could see,
- 17:31how many text messages he was getting, how many phone
- 17:33calls he was getting. This is a guy who never
- 17:36cared about the well being of the American people the
- 17:39same way politicians don't. And it seems like is distraction
- 17:44after distraction after distraction to keep our eyes peeled away.
- 17:49Speaker 2: From what we really need to be focusing on. Now.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Am I the kind of person that would love to
- 17:55see Fauci be held accountable one day for his actions, Absolutely,
- 17:59but he may never be held accountable in this life.
- 18:03And those of you that are believers know exactly where
- 18:05I'm about to go with this. There's a mighty, a
- 18:09mightier power that sits up high and looks down low,
- 18:14and he sees everything that we do, all the secrets
- 18:18we keep, all the lies we tell, all our thoughts,
- 18:24And there's gonna come this point in time where we're
- 18:27all gonna have to stand in front of this judge.
- 18:32There's not gonna be twelve people in a box that
- 18:35have to go and deliberate and then come back and
- 18:37give him the verdict, because he's already gonna have the verdict.
- 18:42Speaker 2: But this judge is gonna ask.
- 18:44Speaker 1: What we did with the time that he gave us,
- 18:49and it's gonna be solely up to him to decide
- 18:52if we're worthy of eternal bliss or eternal damnation. So
- 19:03even if Fauci is never held to account here on earth,
- 19:10he'll be held to account when it's time to stand
- 19:12in front of the big judge for the ultimate verdict.
- 19:18And some of those same politicians that sat up there
- 19:22and wanted Fauci to answer those questions, their hands are
- 19:25not clean. A lot of those senators' hands are not clean.
- 19:33Even if they weren't senators in twenty twenty or twenty
- 19:36twenty one, their hands still aren't clean. But this whole
- 19:43thing is a circus. It's a charade, and the more
- 19:47and more people start to wake up to the fact
- 19:49that that's what this is, the more.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That these hearings don't seem the matter.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I was reading yesterday when I was trying to find
- 19:58things that I wanted to talk to you guys about today,
- 20:01that the Senate, I think it's the Judiciary Committee of
- 20:04my memory sirst correct has invited Jack Smith to testify
- 20:09in front of them next month, and I was thinking
- 20:11to myself, Yeah, here we go again, another charade. Bring
- 20:16Jack Smith in there, knowing damn well that he's not
- 20:19going to answer any questions that you guys really want
- 20:22him to answer, and who knows, he may get in
- 20:24there and plead the fifth one hundred and eleven times.
- 20:31It's crazy what they'll have us focused on to keep
- 20:34our attention away from the bigger things. Speaking of keeping
- 20:40our attention focused on something else, in five states today,
- 20:47primary elections are being held Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington
- 20:55Force states. Pardon, I don't know where I got fired from.
- 20:57Four states we'll be holding primaries today, and one of
- 21:02the most talked about races is the one for the
- 21:05Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan.
- 21:09Speaker 2: You have Abdul Osayed, the.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Democratic socialist candidate, taking on the more moderate candidate in
- 21:16Haley Stevens. This race is going to, in a lot
- 21:21of people's mind, put the final nail in the coffin
- 21:27as it pertains to where the Democratic Party is going
- 21:29to go heading into the future. A lot of people
- 21:33believe that with the influence that Bernie Sanders and Zoramumdani
- 21:38and Alexandro Casio Cortez have over the party, that the
- 21:42Democratic Party is going to have to, in so many
- 21:45instances embrace many aspects of democratic socialism that many moderate
- 21:51Democrats may not be prepared to embrace. And that's the
- 21:54problem that you find yourself having to deal with if
- 21:57you're someone like a Chuck Schumer, if you're someone like
- 21:59a high King Jeffers, if it's someone like a Kamala
- 22:03Harris who's trying to be the Democratic nominee again for president.
- 22:09She can say all she wants, but anybody knows that
- 22:11she's plotting to run again in twenty twenty eight. It'd
- 22:15be a harder road for but I believe that's what
- 22:18she's plotting to do. I, for one, am not bought
- 22:23into this idea that democratic socialism is the best path
- 22:29forward for this country. But I can understand why so
- 22:33many people feel like that's the next plausible idea to
- 22:39believe it, because you have people that sit back and
- 22:43they say, you know what, this capitalism thing isn't what
- 22:49it's all cracked up to be. If this isn't capitalism
- 22:54that we're living on, we're living under a system where
- 22:57only a few benefit fit and everybody else sufferers.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I talked about this in the previous episode.
- 23:09Speaker 1: There are some people that can look at this economy
- 23:13that we're in and they can say that everything's fine,
- 23:18while others look at this economy and say, damn, when
- 23:21will things get better? And you have people who a
- 23:25couple of years ago didn't have to work two jobs
- 23:28now having to work two jobs just to keep float
- 23:31keep afloat. I mean, you have people that are getting
- 23:34out of college that can't even find jobs, but yet
- 23:38they've spent all of this money and gotten into all
- 23:40this student loan debt to get the degree that was
- 23:43promised to them to get them a higher paying job.
- 23:50I mean, you have people that can't afford rent, can't
- 23:53afford groceries, can't afford gas, can't afford a mortgage, can't
- 23:56afford any basic thing, And they're looking at socialism, democratic socialism,
- 24:02and they're saying, man, you know, medicare for all.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Government run stores and doing all these other things. Hey,
- 24:14it may not be so bad, but if you read.
- 24:17Speaker 1: The fine print of this democratic socialism movement, it's not
- 24:22all peaches and cream. Because what happens when the government
- 24:27ran grocery stores start rationing out food. What happens when
- 24:32they decide, hey, let's get rid of all these prisons
- 24:34and you get all these violent people back onto the street.
- 24:37What happens when Medicare for all doesn't really pan out
- 24:42the way you want it to. All of these things
- 24:47could happen, and it would cause this democratic socialism movement
- 24:52to fall squarely on his face because his face value
- 24:56would have lost value. And that's a conversation that many
- 25:00of them are not ready for. The big problem that
- 25:05I have with this entire conversation is that because democratic
- 25:11socialism is so bad, it's causing Republicans to sit back
- 25:16and say, we don't really have to address any of
- 25:19the problems that the people have, because all we can
- 25:23go out and say is man, socialism is terrible, and
- 25:27then it'll get people to come to our calls.
- 25:31Speaker 2: We don't have.
- 25:32Speaker 1: To defend the president and his record. What we can
- 25:36say is, would you rather have what we have now?
- 25:39Would you rather have the boogeyman that happens to be socialism?
- 25:46But this should be a wake up call for the Republicans.
- 25:53You guys aren't cooking with hot grease. You guys aren't
- 25:58bad in a thousand within American people, because the vast
- 26:04majority of Americans have sat back and they've watched what's
- 26:07happened over the course of the first two years of
- 26:09Trump's second term and they've said, you know what is
- 26:12not what it was advertised to be, and it's causing
- 26:16a lot of people to say, maybe let's go in
- 26:19another direction.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Now.
- 26:21Speaker 1: The main problem that most Republicans have with the socialists,
- 26:29it's not their platform, not the candidates. The main problem
- 26:34that they have is that if those politicians get elected
- 26:37in November and if the Republican if the Republicans lose
- 26:41control the House and the Senate, Number one, Donald Trump
- 26:44would become a lamed up president, which basically, for those
- 26:48of you that don't keep up with politics as much
- 26:50as I do, it would basically mean that Donald Trump
- 26:54would just be a figurehead possibly wouldn't get any major
- 26:57legislation passed, because you know, why would.
- 27:01Speaker 2: There be a need to.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Let's make him look bad on the way out the door,
- 27:05and let's make whomever the presumptive Republican nominee in twenty
- 27:08twenty eight look bad out the gate, because we're going
- 27:13to hold their party and their agenda hostage to where
- 27:15they can't get anything done. The second thing, if Democrats
- 27:20take control of both chambers of Congress, Donald Trump will
- 27:24be investigated to the high heavens, and a lot of
- 27:28people are hoping for that singular reason for the Democrats
- 27:32to retake control of the House and the Senate, or
- 27:35just the House.
- 27:39Speaker 2: So Donald Trump.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Can be investigated, impeached, And if the Republicans keep control
- 27:46of the Senate, of course, he'll be found not guilty
- 27:49in a Senate trial. It's political theater at its finest.
- 27:58So what's at stake today in these four stakes, with
- 28:02these primaries, what's at stake is the same thing that's
- 28:09been at stake for the longest period in time. Who
- 28:14is going to be allowed to take their Circus Act
- 28:19to Washington, DC? That's basically what's at stake. The Republicans
- 28:28are gonna have to reason with the contingent possibility that
- 28:34the Socialists are going to get more and more popular,
- 28:37And if you're the Democrats, you're gonna have to deal
- 28:40with the fact that the Socialists are getting more popular.
- 28:43And whomever the nominee is going to be in twenty
- 28:46twenty eight, if there's someone that's not a socialist, they're
- 28:50gonna have to make a hell of a lot of
- 28:52overtures to the socialist wing of their party to get
- 28:55them to buy into whatever it is that they're trying
- 28:58to sell. But all in all, we're still in a
- 29:08pretty pretty sad pickle politically.
- 29:13Speaker 2: It's not gonna get better with this election. It's not
- 29:15gonna get better with the next election. It's not gonna
- 29:18get better with the next one.
- 29:21Speaker 1: And that's something that a lot of people throughout this
- 29:25country are starting to realize not gonna get better because
- 29:31they all promise the same thing and never delivered. So,
- 29:38speaking of the Democrats, they are in a very interesting
- 29:45position right now on two fronts. The first front is
- 29:49the one we just got finished talking about the Democratic
- 29:52Socialists gaining ground in the Party. The second front is
- 29:58how are they going to possibly dig themselves out of debt.
- 30:03We all remember in twenty twenty four that Kamala Harris
- 30:07had over ninety days to run for the highest office
- 30:11in the land. She went through a billion dollars in
- 30:15that time, and by the time she gave her concession speech,
- 30:23her and her campaign.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Were in debt.
- 30:26Speaker 1: The Democratic National Committee is in debt so much so
- 30:32to where there are now calls being made for DNC
- 30:36chair Ken Martin to lose his chairmanship. Republicans they see
- 30:41this and they get all gidded.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Yes, we got them.
- 30:45Speaker 1: But the crazy part that I'm having a hard time
- 30:47understanding Republicans is the Democrats are in debt. We know that,
- 30:53I think they're in debt to the tune of eighteen
- 30:55million dollars at last check. But yet you have so
- 30:59many Democratocratic candidates that are leading in the polls in
- 31:03states that Republicans are supposed to have locked up.
- 31:05Speaker 2: For an example, in Texas, James Talafrico.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Or Rico, whichever one you want to call them, holds
- 31:12a lead over Ken Paxton. A lot of that has
- 31:16to do with the fact that Ken Paxton is a
- 31:19very politically vulnerable candidate. There are certain transgressions that he's
- 31:25been through recently that's caused people to look at him
- 31:27and say, maybe he's not the ideal candidate to take
- 31:30the seat.
- 31:31Speaker 2: From John Cornyan, even though he beat John Cornyn in
- 31:33the primary.
- 31:35Speaker 1: James Tallerco, on the other hand, is in the same vote.
- 31:38He's not the most desirable candidate.
- 31:41Speaker 2: I mean.
- 31:42Speaker 1: So it's like in Texas, similar to what I said
- 31:45during the twenty twenty four election, You're essentially voting for
- 31:49the lesser of two evils, whom do you believe will
- 31:53be less evil than the other. Do you believe that's
- 31:56gonna be Paxton or do you believe that's gonna be
- 31:58tall Rico. So that's one race where Republicans are needing
- 32:08to gain ground. The other race is in Florida where
- 32:12Byron Donalds, who in all likelihood is going to go
- 32:14on to win the Republican nomination for governor, is in
- 32:17a hole against the Democratic candidate.
- 32:20Speaker 2: For the seat.
- 32:21Speaker 1: And a lot of people are looking at that and
- 32:23they're saying, well, how is this a state that Donald
- 32:26Trump won three times and yet Byron Donalds is lagging?
- 32:31And that can be answered with one simple answer. Donald
- 32:36Trump is more popular in the state of Florida than
- 32:38Byron Donalds. Ron de Santas is more popular in Florida
- 32:42than Byron Donalds. And let's just go ahead and call
- 32:47in as and As in a spade a spade. A
- 32:49lot of white voters felt comfortable voting for Donald Trump.
- 32:52They felt comfortable voting for Rhonda Santas. They don't necessarily
- 32:55feel comfortable voting for Byron Donalds, even considering the fact
- 32:59that he's married to a white woman.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Let's just tell the truth.
- 33:04Speaker 1: In Shane the Devil, a lot of white voters will
- 33:07not feel comfortable voting for Byron Donald's. The same way
- 33:11in Ohio, a lot of white voters will not feel
- 33:13comfortable voting for vivet Ramaswami, even though he is the
- 33:16Republican nominee.
- 33:17Speaker 2: The saint can be said for If JD.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Vance wins the nomination in twenty twenty eight, a lot
- 33:22of white racist voters will not feel comfortable voting for
- 33:25him because of the fact that he's married to an Indian,
- 33:33the same problem that Osai ed has. In Michigan, a
- 33:35lot of black voters are not going to vote for him.
- 33:37Because they don't like the fact that he criticized Michelle
- 33:40Obama and her school lunch program when.
- 33:43Speaker 2: She was first Lady.
- 33:45Speaker 1: And he's been trying to do all that he can
- 33:47to try to swoon the black voters in Michigan, going
- 33:51to their churches, going to their cookouts, going to their barbershops.
- 33:58And even though you have James Clyburn's saying that, hey,
- 34:00if you're black, Hailey Stevens is your candidate, not Al Saed.
- 34:05We'll see how that plays out tonight. So what needs
- 34:10to happen for the Democratic Party to dig themselves out
- 34:15of the hole that they find themselves in. Well, first,
- 34:20they need to admit that it's time to completely overhaul
- 34:23the way they think about elections. The Democrats will never
- 34:27be able to win the presidency or reclaim the House
- 34:30or the Senate again if they don't get to the whiteboard,
- 34:35erase everything they thought they knew about themselves, and start
- 34:38from scratch. That's the best way going forward that they
- 34:41can ensure that they can start winning some of these
- 34:44more highly competitive races. Number Two, I am in agreement
- 34:48that it's time for Ken Martin to be removed from leadership.
- 34:50Ken Martin has shown that he does not have a
- 34:53particular keen eye for running the operations of the Democratic Party.
- 35:00Number three, this party's gonna have to decide what their
- 35:05identity is gonna be. Are you gonna be a party
- 35:08that's gonna be a big tent party that's gonna welcome everybody,
- 35:12or are you going to be a party that's gonna
- 35:14be welcoming of everybody but cater to more of the
- 35:19socialist wing. And if you do that, are you gonna
- 35:22run off more of your moderate Democrats? Case in point,
- 35:25John Fetterman has made it abundantly clear that if things
- 35:28continue to go south for the Democrats, he will switch
- 35:31his party affiliation. And of course you have a lot
- 35:34of Pennsylvania Democrats saying we didn't like the guy to
- 35:38begin with. When he was running against doctor Odze. You
- 35:41guys seem to like him. When he ran for lieutenant governor,
- 35:44you guys.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Seem to like him.
- 35:46Speaker 1: But now that he's not toring the line one hundred
- 35:48percent with the Democratic Party, you don't like him. Republicans,
- 35:51you're the same way. So don't don't be cheering if
- 35:55somebody doesn't tow the line all the way with you.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Guys, you ask them.
- 36:00Speaker 1: That's the reason why so many of you guys won't
- 36:02John Thune removed the Senate Majority leader. That's the reason
- 36:04why so many of you guys turned against Marjora Tayler
- 36:07Green turned against even though he's not a politician, Tucker Carlson,
- 36:11because the minute that they dare to speak out against
- 36:14the party line, they were banished, the same way that
- 36:18the Democrats are trying to banish John Fetterman. They're gonna
- 36:21make sure that he gets primaried the next time around,
- 36:25because they do not like that he's basically turned into
- 36:28a turncoat, and they're gonna make sure that he's held
- 36:32quote unquote accountable for his betrayal in his next election.
- 36:42I mean, if you're the Democratic Party, if you want
- 36:47to win the presidency, you're gonna have to do a
- 36:54lot of things to.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Change the perception.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Around how people view you, because if you don't change
- 37:04the perception, the perception will then become the reality. And
- 37:08in a lot of people's minds, the perception has already
- 37:11become the reality. This is a party that doesn't stand
- 37:14for the things that they used to stand for. Somebody
- 37:19here locally in Mississippi brought up a good point not
- 37:21too long ago on the radio. This is a party
- 37:24that John F. Kennedy would not be welcomed in today.
- 37:27This is a party that Bill Clinton would not be
- 37:29welcome in today because the views that they e spound
- 37:33during their time as president are not necessarily welcomed in
- 37:39today's Democratic Party.
- 37:46Speaker 2: And you have so many Democrats that are okay with that. Hey,
- 37:49it doesn't matter.
- 37:50Speaker 1: We need to win over the socialist Look at what
- 37:54Zoramom Donnie was able to do in New York. Look
- 37:58at what Bernie Sanders been able to do all those
- 38:00years in Vermont. Look at what AOC is doing in
- 38:03New York. What are they doing necessary? Like, these people
- 38:07come out and they preach to you and I about
- 38:10why we need to do things differently, and yet they're
- 38:12the ones doing the opposite of what they tell you
- 38:14and I to do. Bernie Sanders wants you to believe
- 38:18that he is this champion of the people, but yet
- 38:20he still flies private. Alexandri Alexandria A Casio Cortez wants
- 38:26you to believe that she's a fighter for families, and
- 38:28yet she doesn't even have a family of her own.
- 38:34Speaker 2: Zora Mumdani wants you to believe.
- 38:36Speaker 1: That New York is welcoming of all New Yorkers, and
- 38:40we see that he's at odds with the vast majority
- 38:43of the Jewish population in the city. I'm gonna have
- 38:50to go here with this example, and I know it's
- 38:52gonna piss some people off, but I gotta say it.
- 38:54Speaker 2: It's almost like how.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Kamala Harris won't you to believe that she feels the
- 39:03pulse of the black community, but Kamala Harris lives in
- 39:07a neighborhood that has little to know black people in it.
- 39:13It's always the black leaders who want to tell the
- 39:15black community that they feel what we're going through, but
- 39:17yet when they go home, they live in neighborhoods that
- 39:21have little to know black people living in them. I
- 39:26guarantee you Ben Crump does not live around a bunch
- 39:28of black people. Al Sharpton does not live around a
- 39:31bunch of black people. But they want you and I
- 39:34to believe that they feel where we're coming from when
- 39:38we expound our issues.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Is a bunch of bs.
- 39:48Speaker 1: So this is going to be the reckoning that the
- 39:53Democrats need to face. A similar reckoning is going to
- 39:58come for the Republicans in twenty twenty because they're going
- 40:02to have to decide where the party goes, because Donald
- 40:05Trump is gonna be on his way out the door
- 40:08if he doesn't try to figure out some kind of
- 40:10way to stay.
- 40:11Speaker 2: In there and run again in twenty twenty eight.
- 40:15Speaker 1: But if Donald Trump abides by the Constitution, and if
- 40:19he decides, you know what, twenty twenty eight, I gotta
- 40:22step aside, make room for somebody else. If you're the
- 40:24Republican Party, you have to ask yourself the question, what
- 40:28direction do we want to go in?
- 40:31Speaker 2: Do we want to.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Stay in the direction of MAGA or do we want
- 40:35to go back to traditional Republican principles and policies. Now,
- 40:42you run the risk of alienating either side if you
- 40:46choose to go with one or the other. If you
- 40:49choose to stay with MAGA, you alienate the traditional Republicans
- 40:52who see twenty twenty eight as an opportunity to wrangle
- 40:55back control of the party to their side. But if
- 40:58you choose to go in the traditional route, you're gonna
- 41:01alienate those MAGA Republicans who feels.
- 41:05Speaker 2: That this was the plan all along.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Let Trump do his thing and then come and do
- 41:11a coup to get control of the party back. So
- 41:17all I can say to both sides is buckle up,
- 41:21because twenty twenty eight is going to be a hell
- 41:24of a political year. People are looking at twenty twenty
- 41:27six saying that it's a juicy political year. I don't
- 41:31think twenty twenty six is gonna have anything on twenty
- 41:34twenty eight, as both parties try to figure out what
- 41:40their identity is gonna be. For the Republicans to keep
- 41:44control of what they already have and for the Democrats
- 41:46to gain control of what they currently do not have,
- 41:52very very interesting political times that were going to be
- 41:54going through in the next couple of years. Speaking of
- 42:01the Maga wing of the Republican Party, there's a rift
- 42:07going on in the Trump administration, and I would be
- 42:12remiss if I did not talk about it, because we
- 42:17all know that Donald Trump does not like it when
- 42:24somebody defies him, when somebody dares to grow a set
- 42:31of balls. Let him hang and say, I don't believe
- 42:37what you're saying. It's true, I don't believe the conclusion
- 42:41that you came to is the right conclusion. And if
- 42:45you're U as attorney for the District of Columbia, Janine Piro,
- 42:49you find yourself in that position right now. What am
- 42:53I referring to for those of you that live your
- 42:56life and you're not consumed with what's going on in politics.
- 43:01Late last week on Friday, to be matter of fact,
- 43:06Janine Piro announced that the District of Columbia US court
- 43:16had dropped the charges against David Hearn. David Hearn is
- 43:21the former Olympic canoeist who was accused of vandalizing the
- 43:29reflecting pool. Now, Donald Trump went and got a company
- 43:34through the Secretary of Interior to redo the reflecting pool,
- 43:39and for a time it looks good until it became
- 43:43clear to anybody in any common sense that the job
- 43:46wasn't done right and the after effect showed. So what
- 43:52happened was back on the thirteenth, on the nineteenth Pardon
- 43:59me of June, David Hearn told the AP that he
- 44:03was riding his bike when he stopped to inspect a
- 44:10piece of the reflecting pool that had come apart, and
- 44:14instantly he was arrested for vandalists and had he been
- 44:17found guilty, he would have served up to ten years
- 44:21in prison for destruction to federal property.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Now, let that sink in for a second.
- 44:28Speaker 1: This guy was riding his bike, stopped to take a
- 44:32look at what was in the water, and was arrested
- 44:35for vandalism. Instead of the president of this country saying,
- 44:42you know what, I'm gonna bite the bullet on this
- 44:45one and I'm gonna say that the job wasn't done
- 44:49up to my standards, what I'm gonna do is continue
- 44:53to blame vandals for something.
- 44:55Speaker 2: That they didn't even do.
- 44:58Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get my us a tur Nie who
- 45:01I handpicked from Fox.
- 45:05Speaker 2: To have my back on this.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Janeine Piro looked at everything and she said, you know what,
- 45:12I can't go along with this because that's not what happened.
- 45:16Janeine Piro got so bold to where she even threw
- 45:19the Interior Department under the bus, saying that they're the
- 45:22ones that caused the damage to the reflecting pool. It
- 45:26wasn't a job done by vandals. It was an anept,
- 45:30poorly done job by the contractor who won the no
- 45:34bid from the Interior Department, and of course the Interior
- 45:39Secretary of Doug Bergham, who's gonna kiss Donald Trump's ass
- 45:41at every opportunity came out and said, wait a minute,
- 45:44wasn't us. How are you gonna blame us? We don't
- 45:49agree with your assessment. We did everything right. You guys
- 45:52are the one that dropped the ball on this. You
- 45:54guys are the ones that efft this up. I'm paraphrasing,
- 45:57but it went along those lines. So now you have
- 46:02this very interesting tango affair going on at the White House.
- 46:08It was reported on yesterday that Janine Piro went to
- 46:13the White House where she was excoriated by Donald Trump for,
- 46:18in his words, quote unquote, folding like an umbrella. He
- 46:24said he didn't understand why she chose to do what
- 46:27she did, and she basically went to the White House
- 46:30to tell him that it wasn't me.
- 46:31Speaker 2: It was my.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Attorneys who work under me, who thought that it would
- 46:35be in this department's best interest to drop the charges
- 46:39because there wasn't enough to take to a grand jury
- 46:42and eventually to try That's the conclusion that her and
- 46:49her attorneys came to. But that wasn't good enough for
- 46:53the President, who made it abundantly clear in public as
- 46:57well as on his true social platform that he was
- 47:00not happy and still isn't happy with Janine Piro.
- 47:07Speaker 2: This guy is so thin skinned.
- 47:12Speaker 1: To where anytime that he gets rebuked, he can't stand
- 47:17the heat of the cook. But we were always told
- 47:20that if you can't stand the heat of the cook,
- 47:21you gotta stay out the kitchen. And that seems to
- 47:24be a lesson that Donald Trump has failed to grasp.
- 47:27If you can't stand the heat of the cook, you
- 47:29got to stay out the kitchen, because if you don't,
- 47:33you'll find yourself getting burnt. And he's gotten burnt quite
- 47:37a few times believing stuff that's not to be believed.
- 47:43Out of all the things this guy could have been
- 47:45doing that particular day, why would he decide to take
- 47:48time to go to Washington, d c. To go by
- 47:51the reflecting pool and just vandalize the thing. Why would
- 47:57he waste his time doing that. Why wouldn't you just
- 48:02come out and say, you know what, we dropped the
- 48:05ball on this. We spent fourteen million tax pair of
- 48:09dollars on this project and it didn't live up to
- 48:12my expectations.
- 48:14Speaker 2: We dropped the ball.
- 48:17Speaker 1: If anybody should be getting lambasted by the President, it
- 48:20should be Doug Bergham, the Secretary of the Interior. He
- 48:23should be the one on the chopping block, not Janeine Piro.
- 48:31But when you work for a guy who cares more
- 48:34about protecting his ego than protecting the truth, this is
- 48:37what you get. When you work for a guy who
- 48:42would rather be told what he wants to hear as
- 48:44opposed to what he needs to know, this is the
- 48:47outcome that you get. I mean, this is the same
- 48:52guy who's the President of the United States, who's given
- 48:56a run twenty three thousand chances to negotiate, and every
- 49:04time that they failed to agree to his terms, we
- 49:08go right back into this war, a war that we
- 49:15were told we were never going to get into, a
- 49:19war that most of us thought was over with Operation
- 49:21Epic Fury, A war that continues every single time you
- 49:26hear about it, the gold poster being moved further and
- 49:30further and further back.
- 49:34Speaker 2: Oh no, we haven't achieved all our objectives yet.
- 49:36Speaker 1: But I thought you guys told us last year that
- 49:39Iran's nuclear program had been obliterated. I thought you guys
- 49:44told us last year that Iran's economy was crippled. I
- 49:47thought you guys told us last year that the power
- 49:52center of the Iranian government was desecrated. Oh yeah, we
- 49:59may have told you guys that, but we got some
- 50:02new intelligence that points us in another direction. It's the
- 50:09same cock and bull story, just given on a different day.
- 50:14This administration does not have this Iran war figured out,
- 50:19because it seems like they're doing a lot of playing
- 50:21this by ear, which is very dangerous when you start
- 50:26affecting the lives of American servicemen and women. And we've
- 50:31already lost American servicemen and women due to this monstrosity,
- 50:40and at the rate we're going, we could lose a
- 50:42lot more. Like this war doesn't seem to have an
- 50:47end goal. Well, it does, but the end goal is
- 50:52what we thought was obtained last year. The complete obliteration
- 50:56of the Iranian nuclear program is the end goal for
- 50:59this war. But it doesn't seem like this administration understands
- 51:03how to get to that objective. Russia and China have
- 51:09already agreed to help Iran as much as they can,
- 51:14So you've gotten Jijuin Ping in Beijing and Vladimir Putin
- 51:18in Moscow telling Tyron that.
- 51:21Speaker 2: We'll give you guys what you need. Don't worry about it,
- 51:23we got it.
- 51:29Speaker 1: It would be a different story if we went into
- 51:32this thing and it seemed like we knew at least
- 51:35halfway what we were doing, it doesn't even seem like
- 51:38we halfway know what we're doing. And every time you
- 51:43look around, hey, you know, we're gonna get this thing
- 51:46ended quickly. And then next thing, you know, well, we
- 51:48got to stop it for a while because Iran they
- 51:50now claim that they want to talk. And then the
- 51:53Iranians they come out and they say, we're not negotiating
- 51:55with the United States. We're talking to a mom or
- 51:58we're not talking to them. So that means either they're
- 52:00lying in Tehran or they're lying in Washington. But somebody's
- 52:03lying when it comes to this quote unquote negotiation effort.
- 52:09Somebody's not being straight up. And I think I know
- 52:16which side it is. So this is our commander in chief,
- 52:27the same one who's fixating on Iran, the same one
- 52:32who's at odds with his US attorney for the District
- 52:34of Columbia, the same one that's doing everything in his
- 52:41power to squeeze the balls of the Republican Senators to
- 52:47get them to pass everything he wants passed before he
- 52:50loses his grip on power. That's basically what this is.
- 52:54That's the reason why there is such this big push
- 52:57to get to save back past, because before we lose
- 53:01our grip on power, we got to make sure we get.
- 53:03Speaker 2: Some things done.
- 53:07Speaker 1: And like I told you guys in the previous episode,
- 53:09it doesn't matter if the Save Act pass because as
- 53:14long as you have a vast majority of Americans standing
- 53:17up saying it doesn't matter how security elections are. If
- 53:20the politicians are not going to be honest, then what's
- 53:22the point. As long as that continues to be the sentiment,
- 53:26it doesn't matter how secure you make the elections, you'll
- 53:30still have people saying we don't trust them as much
- 53:32as we should. But I, for one, bringing this whole
- 53:40thing back home, I for one, am on the side
- 53:44of Janine Pirou. Drop the charges, move on to fight
- 53:48another fight, at least the fight that you have the
- 53:51evidence to go and win. All right, friends, one last
- 53:59thing that I want to talk to you guys about
- 54:01before I let you guys go. I'm gonna be completely
- 54:07honest with you as I've been throughout the entirety of
- 54:10this show, because I want you guys to understand where
- 54:14I'm coming from. As it pertains to this particular topic.
- 54:22I am not a fan of this particular league. I
- 54:29don't watch games from this particular league, but it always
- 54:34seems like no matter how far you try to get
- 54:36yourself away from this particular league, this particular league will
- 54:39do everything in its power to wrangle you back in
- 54:43and force you to consume it in some kind of
- 54:45a way. And of course, the league that I'm referring
- 54:50to is the WNBA. I've been on this earth nearly
- 54:57twenty six years, and in my twenty six years of life,
- 55:02I've never been.
- 55:06Speaker 2: A WNBA connoisseur.
- 55:11Speaker 1: For anybody who knows me personally, they'll be able to
- 55:15tell you that basketball is not one of my favorite sports.
- 55:18I'm a sports fanatic to the ump team degree. But
- 55:23if you gave me a choice of what to watch,
- 55:27I'll watch football, I'll watch baseball, I'll watch hockey, I'll
- 55:32watch tennis, I'll watch golf.
- 55:33Speaker 2: I'll watch NASCAR before I watch.
- 55:36Speaker 1: Basketball, especially the WNBA. Even when the whole Caitlyn Clark
- 55:43boom was happening, you still couldn't get me to consume
- 55:46the product, because it didn't matter how good Caitlin Clark
- 55:53would be in the WNBA, you'd still have people saying,
- 55:59like I was saying, it's still not a tangibly good product.
- 56:04It's almost like when a store is having a hard
- 56:08time getting rid of an item, they try to mark
- 56:10it down as cheap as they can, and it still
- 56:13sits there because people just aren't interested in buying it
- 56:15because it's just not that good of a product. And
- 56:18that's the WNBA here. Recently, they've been trending in an
- 56:24upward direction. They've now moved from smaller arenas to playing
- 56:30in the arenas where the NBA teams play their games.
- 56:35They're now on TV more than they've been in the past.
- 56:38You know, players are now receiving bigger contracts than they've
- 56:41ever received in the past. So the WNBA and a
- 56:43lot of people's eyes are moving in the right direction.
- 56:47But for most of us, even if it is moving
- 56:50in the right direction, it's still something that we just
- 56:53don't want to consume. And one of the reasons why
- 56:57I don't consume the WNBA is because this league is
- 57:05the very personification of what it means to spite your nose,
- 57:09to spite your face, or cut off your nose to
- 57:13spite your face. This league epitomizes that expression cut off
- 57:21his nose to spite his face. What do I mean
- 57:25when I say that you would think with the WNBA
- 57:31being for women to chase their dream of playing professional basketball,
- 57:39they would be doing everything in their power to make
- 57:42sure that the league is for women and women only.
- 57:46I think it's even in their bylaws that only women
- 57:50can play in the WNBA.
- 57:52Speaker 2: Now you have this thing where.
- 57:55Speaker 1: A lot of WNBA players and coaches are coming out saying, look,
- 58:00if there is somebody out there that's transgender that wants
- 58:03to play in women's sports, they should be welcoming or
- 58:07people should be welcoming of them playing in that sport.
- 58:12And that is what has caused people to focus a
- 58:16little extra attention on the WNBA because of one Sophie Cuttingham.
- 58:21Sophie Cuttingham plays for the Indiana Fever, the same team
- 58:24that Caitlyn Clark happens to play for, and Sophie Cuttingham
- 58:28has been getting a lot of attention because she's made
- 58:30her mission to stand up for protecting the sanctity and
- 58:35the sanity of women's sports, and a lot of people
- 58:38have looked at her and they've said, we need to
- 58:42be more inclusive. How can we be more inclusive if
- 58:45we're turning around trans athletes once again, cutting off your
- 58:53nose to spite your face. The WNBA should be for
- 58:59natural born women. There should be no men who transition
- 59:06to women playing in the WNBA. That's the way it
- 59:11should be, just like there should be no woman who
- 59:14transitions to being a man playing in the NBA. I
- 59:21don't think that men should be in women's sports, because
- 59:28women's sports should be for women. Men's sports should be
- 59:32for men. There should be no blurring of that line.
- 59:41And yet you have so many people who seem to
- 59:44make it their business to blur that line on the
- 59:47accounts of being inclusive, on account of being transparent, on
- 59:54the count of making trans people feel that they belong
- 59:57in sports. Shell Reeve, the head coach of the Minnesota Link.
- 1:00:01The other day when they were playing the Fever, she
- 1:00:03wore a shirt that said trans.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: I think you said trans kids belong to something to
- 1:00:08that effect.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: They belong, but not in sports where the sport that
- 1:00:15they're trying to play is not the sport is not
- 1:00:18the sport of their asside birth. And yet the WNBA
- 1:00:29wonders why so many people turn away from it as
- 1:00:32opposed to embrace it. Because of stuff like this, every
- 1:00:39WNBA player should be speaking up supporting Sophie, cutting him saying, yeah,
- 1:00:47we understand the need to be more inclusive, but we
- 1:00:49also understand the need to protect our league from those
- 1:00:53that shouldn't be playing it. That's the way it should be.
- 1:01:00But you have so many of them that are willing
- 1:01:02to toe the line because in their mind it's the
- 1:01:06best thing to do to avoid any controversy. Let me
- 1:01:11not step on any toes. And yet they continue to
- 1:01:20wonder why their league flounders, why the NBA has to
- 1:01:25build them out over and over and over again, because
- 1:01:30too many times they put themselves in the position where
- 1:01:34they're cutting off their nose to spite their face. And
- 1:01:39that's something, honestly, that they should stop doing if they
- 1:01:42ever want to be even semi respected going forward as
- 1:01:47a league. And with that being said, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:01:50that'll wrap up today's edition of the Igarius Williams Show.
- 1:01:53Want to thank you guys once again. Is always for listening,
- 1:01:56however and wherever you may be listening. Until next time
- 1:01:59you guys, continue to enjoy your day's Stay safe, take care,
