Speaker 1 (00:08):
A hospital in a big blue city is getting rid
of their trans youth department. We'll talk about why they're
doing it, and is that a route that we'd like
to take to see these kind of results. Also the
big beautiful parade that's happening, and the unbelievable irony of
the protest and what it's named. All that and more
coming up on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My
(00:29):
name is Jobob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together,
we're charting the course of America's cultural comeback. This is
Turning Point Tonight. Now we again.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Have to talk about the riots.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I realize they're a riot fatigue, immigration fatigue, but nuke
stuff keeps coming up every single day. I'm not going
to be long winded on it. I'd love to get
to our panel straight out of the gate. Amber Duke
is a senior editor for The Daily Caller. And Andrew
Gruhle is a conservative commentator. You see him pretty much
everywhere all around the country. Guys, thanks for.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Joining us, of course, thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I want to start off with this. We're going into
another weekend, which generally means unfortunately, because nobody wants to
see this more unrest around the country as the riots
have spread outside of La to all over the place.
This is the response from a sheriff in Florida. I
want to play this clip for you and then get
your reaction. Is this too harsh of a tone or
(01:24):
is it the standard that needs to be set?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Watch this.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
If throw a brick, a fire bomb, or point a
gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying
your family where to collect your remains at because we
will kill you graveyard dead. We're not going to play.
This has got to stop.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
As a person that very very very much does not
like rioting, Amber, I don't know your thoughts of this
my first inclination. I'll be honest, I kind of like it,
but also I recognize the overpowering authority of the government.
A good thing, bad thing, too harsh, not harsh enough?
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I don't know what other kind of dead there
is beyond graveyard dead, Like I'm pretty sure that's the
only tide. But nonetheless I would I would say, you know,
there's probably a lot of people around this country that
would appreciate a little bit more candor from their sheriffs.
On what they're going to do to put down riots.
And this is also coupled, by the way, by the way,
with the fact that Governor DeSantis just said very clearly
(02:20):
that if you are surrounded by a mob in your car,
you have the right to defend yourself. You can drive
through away from those people trying to smash your windows,
which I think is another important reminder as we're looking
at what's happening in La New York, Chicago and probably
soon the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, it's to me again like I kind of think,
I like it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Is it harsh?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, but maybe harshness is needed in this time Andrew Grule,
So you travel all over the place, you're in blue cities,
then you're in red cities. Can what is the difference
between the two and same kind of posing the question here?
Is this too harsh? Should more blue cities take up
this kind of rhetoric to deter the rioting and burning
down other cities?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Certainly this is the type of communication that we need, clear,
concise and to the point, I think there's too much
of a gray area where people can interpret and say, well,
you know, I could do this, and they're really not
going to do anything, and then that's evidenced obviously by
the lack of prosecutions across all these different blue cities.
So very Florida. Here to the point, you're done. Don't
threaten our lives, don't threaten our safety. And I'll guarantee
(03:24):
you that the line share of people in Florida appreciate this.
And while they might be playing it all over the news,
especially in blue city saying, oh my gosh, I can't
believe he said this in Florida, I'm sure people are
very thankful that he is so to the point.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, it's a shame.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I think that's getting replayed over and over and over
again on MSNBC, which is a shame that nobody watches MSNBC.
But I think that's a great commercial for conservative stances
around the country. Amber I thought this was interesting going
on yesterday, a phrase that we've heard all too many
times recently. A federal judge brocks President Trump from using
the National Guard in California, and then Peel's court put
(04:00):
a stay on that. It's kind of just the back
and forth thing politically speaking, right because Gavin Newsom is
trying to get as much attention as he can. Who
benefits if President Trump ultimately can't use the National Guard.
In other words, it's all on Gavin. He's rejected the
help and if things go poorly, you know it, all
(04:22):
the blame all lays at his feet. Politically speaking, who
kind of benefits most from this back and forth ping
ponging of whether he can or can't do it?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, you hint it out there. Gavin Newsom would have
all of the responsibility if the LAPD were not capable
of containing the riots, which seems to be the case
so far. Right these things have been going on for
a full week at this point, we continue to watch
videos of people firebombing with the poor way mo cars,
(04:51):
throwing rocks at police officers, trying to barricade ice in
federal buildings, and on the you know, the legal authority question,
to me, there should be question, because the reasoning for
sending the National Guard is very clear. If federal officials
are not able to carry out their duties, then that
is a justifiable reason. The President did the right thing
(05:13):
by sending the Guard in, and I think Gavin Newsom
would quickly come to regret it if the National Guard
was not able to keep these riots, keep these riots
down and chaos continues to spread throughout the streets of LA.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, and same kind of question, because Gavin and pretty
much everybody in the LA area saying, no, this.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Is totally fine.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They're just people out there having fun watching the cars burn.
Which is an exact quote from a guy on KTLA, which.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is insane to me.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But like this, it has to be right the case
that Gavin is going to be the only person to
blame because he's the one rejecting President Trump's offer to help,
which is how I see this. I don't know politically,
who do you think benefits if, in fact, things go
poorly this weekend?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I mean, look, the narrative that everything is okay
is as broken as a vinigrad. It's disgusting and it's oily.
And I'm using that analogy specifically because of Gavin's hair,
the person who wins. They're trying to redirect the company
to make this a political battle, and Newsom wants this
to be about Newsom and the state of California versus Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
They're raising funds on that.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
That's constantly been the underlying thesis of all that he's
done since Trump has been in office.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
So they need.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
This is like a little mini battle, right, a semi final,
if you will, leading up to some sort of bigger
battle that he's trying to raise money for.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
We can probably speculate.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
So he wants to win this, and the back and
forth on this I think just goes to show that
he's got a wobbly foundation and he can't even get
the courts even after hands selecting judges. I think that
he really overplayed his hand here thinking that all of
the courts were going to be in his favor regardless
of precedent.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And there are actually clearly still some judges.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Out there that are like, okay, like more than willing
to get into the gray area, but like, you're really
kind of giving me a hard case here, because he
clearly has the power. Now, this very well could go
back in twenty minutes and they say, oh, well, now
you don't have the power.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
You do?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You don't you do? I think we're used to that,
but he's lost this communications battle.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, And it's fascinating to see just this term put
from political standpoint too, right, whether or not if it's
effective technical reasons, just what the American people ultimately think,
because clearly Gavin Newsmans running for president, and that's his
only angle here Amber, we can kind of zoom out
past California into some other areas of this immigration battle.
(07:36):
There were four escapees from a detention center in New
Jersey after the there was a protest outside. Yes, you
saw Alex Padilla yesterday, which sorry, we played that on
yesterday show. It was just so funny and so delicious
because he's planning to play the victim.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How does this play overall to.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Like the masses of the American people? What are people
in which tah or in Oklahoma City seeing this as
is this a winning thing for conservatives going forward? How
do you see it?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, immigration is the most popular part of Trump's agenda.
When you pull people on the issues, he has a
majority of Americans still supporting the mass importation program. The
numbers get even higher when you're talking about criminal illegals,
which is who Ice was there to arrest in California.
And so I just find it impossible to believe that
Americans are going to see Democrats engaging in these antics
(08:32):
on behalf of people who are in the country illegally,
many of whom have committed additional crimes on top of
that and think that they're engaging in a winning message.
It's just mind blowing to me that this is the
hobby horse that they've chosen. And I think actually they
might have had a point if they were going after
Trump for maybe some of the student visa revocations, for
(08:54):
people who wrote op eds that were maybe too polite
to Hamas. But they've gone so far beyond the pale
with a Brago Garcia child rapist in LA I mean,
you can't come back from that. You have planted your
foot firmly on the wrong side of the debate on
what is a seventy thirty to eighty twenty.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Issue Amber, How dare you impugne the reputation of a
Maryland father who also allegedly beat his wife and was
human trafficking. I just can't believe that you would do
such a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
True.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Is this was printed in the New York Times, printed,
I mean typed up and read digitally, because I don't
think anybody prints out The New York Times anymore. Just
before ten PM, some members of the crowd dragged plastic
construction barricades toward the gate. Soon after, groups of protesters
began linking arms blocking a van and suv from exiting
through the gate. They're they're just crowd members that are
(09:48):
doing this. This is what led to the escapees escaping.
I mean, not to batter the same horse over and
over again, but who's who's reading this and going, oh yeah,
those are just they're peaceful protests who are doing violent
destruction at ice facilities.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Nobody.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
This is an expository essay that's failed in high school.
Because they're trying to shape the narrative and they're doing
an awful job at that. So they're hoping that they
can sway their readers, which they don't realize is nothing
more than an elite cabal who's studying like this religious
cult and nothing else. And they're trying to sway them
and forgetting about the line share of voters who actually
(10:27):
want to see these criminals deported.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
As Amber said, you.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Know, and I think that as they're shaping this narrative,
they're realizing that they're ending up in a dead end.
They might try and backtrack a little bit, and it's
going to quickly move on to like some other sensationalized
element within this immigration debate. But they keep losing over
and over and over again, and Also, these people are
really LARPing as revolutionaries. They think that they're like, you know,
this is the Boston Tea Party and they're saving a country,
(10:53):
when in reality they're the criminals themselves.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
They completely lost sense of reality.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
No, I love that for anybody who doesn't. LARPing is
live action roleplay, in other words, pretending to be revolutionaries.
And there's this is bad and I probably gonna get
in trouble for saying this. There's a part of me
that wants the whip to get cracked as if they
were real revolutionaries, to see just how bad of a
cosplay this actually is. Amber Duke Andrew gru will be
(11:19):
right back after the break to discuss a big Blue Cities,
big hospital getting rid of their trans youth program. O'goy'll
be right back after the break. And Los Angeles is
(11:42):
finally making news. We haven't heard anything crazy going on
from that city in a very long time, but finally
the city of Los Angeles is in the news. The
Children's Hospital of Los Angeles is closing its Center for
trans Youth Health and Developmental and gender affirming care surgical program.
Thank good, Let's bring our panel back. Amber Duke of
The Daily caller Andrew Gruel Chef extraordinary guys.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So this amber. I thought this was really.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Interesting because the reasoning that the hospital is giving is
that Trump's executive orders was going to strip funding for them.
Hospital officials say without that funding, the hospital will only
be able to stay afloat for fifty days. I personally
would love to see people back off this transgender manius
stuff because they've come to some sort of moro realization.
(12:29):
But at the same time, I'm not mad about the
fact that hitting their wallet and their budget is also effective.
What are your kind of thoughts to societally speaking, Is
that how we want to attack this stuff, or is
this an effective way to go forward as well hitting
them in the wallet?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Well, I mean, ideally these people would actually read the
science and realize what they're doing is so harmful to kids,
but they're so deluded that unfortunately, I think political force
is the only thing that's going to work for a
lot of these people. So I think Trump's CEO is
a great way of getting at the issue. Look, Republicans
for a long time have been sort of reticent to
use government power, and Trump has sort of flipped that
on its head and said the left does it to
(13:09):
us all the time. We're going to take advantage of
the avenues we have when we have them, and so
I support it. And by the way, you know, a
couple of months ago, I decided to call a bunch
of these hospitals that receive federal funding that have transgender
clinics to ask if they were still taking youth patients,
and a lot of them were openly defying the executive order.
So I have a list together at the Daily Caller
(13:31):
hopefully that Trump administration will use it so that my
work doesn't go to waste. But man, it was it
was so hard on the phone to not just yell
at these people and tell them how ghoulish they were.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well, yeah, more power to you, because I probably would
have flown off the handlebars if I were trying to
get that similar information. Andrew the idea of, you know,
kind of like libertarian las a fairy ish with or
actual conservative policy, and were kind of touched on it
lives use policy to actually make us do things. Conservatives
(14:03):
are usually kind of like, ah, you know, let everybody
kind of do whatever they want. We're going to stay
out of it. It seems like we're kind of turning
a corner making conservative policy actually do something. And you know,
if this is the effect of it, that's kind of
hard to argue with.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
What are your thoughts, Yeah, definitely, but this all comes
back to money.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
I'm always going to look at this broadening the scope
from a business perspective and a financial perspective. You see,
there is this underscores the financial disaster that the medical
system is in California, especially in many of these blue states,
because we know that the way in which Democrats view
the medical industrial complex is completely upside down and is
only going to lead to more bankruptcy. Right, this idea
(14:45):
of like, you know, free medicaid for free medical for all,
that's absurd. They've used this kind of trans issue as
an outlying issue to try and raise more funds, but
they've come up against the federal government now and that reason,
and that's important. We don't even need to wax on
about the fact that this is just an im moral
issue altogether. I think most Americans actually do agree with that,
(15:07):
and probably many of the doctors that are associated with
this also agree with that. But what this shows you
is is that how much money was coming from the
federal government into the states and into these hospitals that
shouldn't exist, you know, kind of a Dojian approach to this,
and really we.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Need to flip the system upside down from a financial perspective.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, no, that's actually a very good good point to
talking about the finances of it. Speaking of the finance,
this is happening in California, Andrew, I know you're super
excited to hear this. I am also excited as well.
July first, gas prices are going up with a new
gas tax, because of course California doesn't get tax enough.
Gavin Newsom's primary goal as a running for president of
the United States, are your taxes too low?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, elect me.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
For president and all of your taxes will go up.
We actually don't know how much the gas taxes are
going to go up because there's two different components there,
and it depends on what the state wants to do,
and it could go up potentially as much as sixty
cents per gallon. Amber to kind of tail this back
to the tax burden of people on blue states, right,
(16:10):
This whole idea of the salt tax, and I'm hoping
people know what the salt tax deductions are is people
in blue states who have high tax burdens should be
able to write that off of their federal income tax.
That greatly benefits me, But it doesn't seem super fair
to a bunch of people in states that don't have
high taxes. The idea that the tax burden is just
(16:32):
you can't do anything about it. It's just there, and
unfortunately these people have to suffer through it. I don't
quite understand why Californians don't realize that from the outside
looking in, how are you looking at California increasing taxes
and then also complaining about it at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh, it's wild. And there's a reason I live in
Virginia not Maryland, right, And it's mostly because of the taxes.
Also guns, but mostly taxes. And I have to say,
you know, I visited the La area a couple of
years ago and I got a rental car from lax
and I had to stop for gas on my way
back to the airport, and I was stunned at the price.
(17:11):
It was like eight dollars a gallon. I couldn't believe it.
And not only that, but for my additional punishment for
daring to get gas in California, I was screamed at
by a crazy, homeless lady the entire time that I
was filling up the car. So not a great experience. Honestly,
bless y'all's hearts for doing what you do, because I
certainly couldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, thanks, thank you for congratulating us for surviving in California.
And yeah, Andrew, I mean, when you go to the
gas station, are you shocked anymore? Because I'm just from
California to California at a certain level, you just get
hit in the face so many times, just like, great,
I have big seven.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Dollars for gas, and that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And I, you know, I don't know what's the experience
like for you.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
It's like going to a base ball game or a
concert and you go up to the concession stand and
is forty dollars for a beer of twenty five dollars
for a soda and you just kind of you knew
that going into it. It's really the same thing. And
actually the lady Amber, the lady that was yelling at you,
her name is Nancy. She's wonderful. I see her and
her sister and others. All the fascinations around here. They've
actually started a homeless union. It's unbelievable. But I think
(18:21):
we've lost sight of what taxes and let me let
me rephrase that. I think generally speaking, most Americans are
willing to pay a certain level of taxes as long
as they know what the immediate return is going to be. Right,
you know, clean streets, clean cities, potholes, tree overhangs, all
the basic things that force cities and communities that allow
(18:41):
them to all function.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
And there's kind of like a communal acceptance there.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But this tax, this tax increase that could be up
to sixty to seventy cents on top of what's already
an egregious price.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
The return for the consumer is.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
A priori environmental benefit, which we know always proves out
to actually hurt the environment.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
That's the irony behind it.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
So the fact that it's going directly into the pockets
of some fat cat bureaucrat or politician in California just
enrages me even more. But I still go to the
concession and of the beer.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, that's that's my pitch, Andrew, And I tell people
California is not so bad because you know, the taxes
may be high, but at least it's also governed horribly.
So over tomorrow there's gonna be a big parade in Washington,
d C. A military parade. I actually personally can fall
on either side of this art I don't I don't
really have too much of a dog in the fight.
(19:34):
I like the fact that America has the best, biggest
military out there.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I think we should show that off. And at the same.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Time, yeah, it feels a little kind of I don't know,
it doesn't like not necessary.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
There's there is a strength in kind.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Of just having the big stick hidden and everybody knows
but you don't have to say anything about it. But
amber this is what I thought was fascinating. The counter
protest to the big parade is called the No King's protest.
When I first saw that and I thought, wait, is
that what the parade is called? Because that's what America is.
The founding is entirely no kings. Do they understand the
(20:07):
irony here?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Do?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know what kind of what's going through the
minds of people who think that that's what's happening. And
also too, I guess to the parade and the anti
parade tomorrow, what are your predictions of who's going to
turn out. What the sizes are going to be, the
numbers are going to be for the protest.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Just based on traffic in DC the past couple of days,
I think it's going to be pretty massive. The No
Kings people, I actually see them every day driving home
from work, because about five to ten of them stand
on an overpass above three ninety five and they have
their little signs, and of course they have Ukrainian flags
with them, because why not. I'm surprised they don't have
Palestinian flags yet. But it's a very sad group of people.
(20:51):
They're actually not having a protest in downtown DC because
they don't want to give more attention to Trump. But
you know, the important thing about this parade is it's
not just a random military parade, right this is the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the US Army, which
was established on June fourteenth, seventeen seventy five. And that
makes the No Kings protest even sillier because the US
Army is established and then goes on to allow America
(21:14):
its independence from Kings.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
So we are.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Celebrating actually our liberation from exactly what they claimed the
government is going through right now.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I thought the founding and just us existing was the
protest to no Kings. Yeah, we don't want kings. That's
the whole point of the country. Andrew, what do you
I mean, what do you predict next week is going
to look like after this? Do you think this is
kind of kind of kind of be a blip or
is this going to be the talking point for MSNBC
for Monday and Tuesday? Like, how dare we have this
(21:45):
big parade and look at the brave protesters they're showing
support for the same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I guess because no Kings.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I think that the talking point they're going to attempt
to make a name narrative about this, it'll probably just
fizzle away.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
It's not going to be that sticky.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I think that the anniversary parade is really just a
one off as opposed to counterpoint that to the No
Kings group, which they're just professional protesters. I mean, these
are the same people that were hands off doing the
hands off protesters. There're the same people that were protesting Trump,
you know, for four years. You know, this is all
the same group, and I think that they've lost any power.
So I do appreciate kind of the one off and
(22:24):
the celebration of this anniversary. I also appreciate your sentiment
that do we really want to be flexing our muscles
so hard, because it is it's kind of like the
you know, the jock walking around the party senior year
in high school telling everybody that he's so strong and
watch how far he can throw the football. But really
they want that kind of obscure, intelligent artist in the
corner who's actually like a free thinker, and he goes
(22:46):
on to become the popular one, while the jock ends
up working at home depot, not that there's anything wrong
with that, and the you know, I think that this
is really what that's about. You know, I once again
I don't pay too much mind to any of this
stuff anymore because it's just all become so performative.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, yeah, because you know, I could be swayed either way.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm glad that it's happening, and I think it'll be
really interesting to watch in the wall see the fallout
or like thereof next week. From the libs, Amber Duke
Andrew Gruel, thank you guys so much for joining us.
Really appreciate you taking the time and have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Thanks for having coming up next year and turning point.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Tonight, we've got a fascinating clips from Alex Klar's Culture
Apothecary podcast.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Don Koye will be right back after this.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
What are some specific examples on how to show your
husband you respect him.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
I think respect has become a very loaded word because
I think there is a I'll call him a group
of men, a sliver of men that respect means you
never challenge me, you never call me out, you never
point out anything. You do what I say. And that's
not respect, that's manipulation, that is a power trip, that's
(24:06):
an ego. Respect in my world is I remember an
old football coach in Texas telling you that's a religion
of its own right. But he was really letting me
have it. And I was a good athlete, but I
was also kind of lazy, and he was letting me
have it and letting me have it, and he saw
me starting to hang my head, and I remember him
pulling me aside and he said, hey, you'll know I
(24:26):
don't care about you when I stop trying to hold
you to an excellent standard. I've never felt more respected
and seen He's like, I see something in you. You
don't see and you're fifteen and you're a knucklehead. I'm
gonna keep leaning on you because I see greatness in you.
I'm not gonna let this ride my wife, if she
truly respects me, she says, Hey, that's not how we
talk to each other in this house. We agreed on
(24:47):
our family values that are on our wall right here.
This is who the Deloneys are. And so respect is
I see an area where you've announced to the world,
and it's more than pulling into the world. To me,
this is who we are and you're not living standard.
And so I think respect comes from a sense of
shared values and who are we gonna be? And in
our house we are, to quote my friend will get Era,
(25:10):
unreasonably hospitable. Everybody's welcome at the Lonely House. We have
a cast of characters that we live in Nashville. Everyone's
always visiting Nashville. We have some whack of dos that
stay with us and we love it. And I think
my wife said the other night, thirteen or the last
twenty nights, we've had somebody in our house and it's awesome. Yeah.
And we lead with curiosity over judgment. We lead with
tell me more about that and not the's stupid right,
(25:32):
and so whatever, we can go down a list, and
so respect is, hey, this is who we said we
were going to be, and like you're getting real loud
or I can feel the tension when you're coming home
from work and what's going on? How can I love
you right now?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
And so what happens if you are kindly saying that
to your significant other, You're pointing out something, but then
they keep making the mistake.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
This is unpopular to say, but behavior is a language,
and so what are they telling you if it happens again?
It happens again. What they're telling you through their behavior
is I don't care what you say. I don't care
that you're trying to help me. I would rather sit
in my own with my own small ego. I would
(26:16):
rather try to protect my fragileness by getting loud, getting
big and pushing you away or blaming you for my discomfort.
Like I said, in this wild, weird dating world we
have when we finally get somebody, anybody off of an
app like a real person, and it goes to date
four and we're like, okay, this is probably we're probably
getting married right when you go from this to this.
It's like where this is happening. It's hard to really
(26:39):
land and choose reality, which is this person, through their actions,
doesn't love me.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I agree with you.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Do you feel like that's a different scenario though, when
you're seven years into marriage versus one year knowing each other.
Like the grace of working through I'm learning some behaviors
and things.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
It's about grace, and it's about saying, Okay, I've run
the extent of my skill set, and I think we
overdramatize it sometimes. Here's what happened to my house. Okay,
doctor alone. My wife's a professor, doctor delone Amadina students,
and so I'm up twenty four seven, three sixty five
dealing with crisis and all kinds of stuff with students.
My wife's a professor. We have a kid. I remember,
right out of the gate, she would pump and I
(27:20):
didn't even know what pumping was. But then she was
teaching and she said, hey, make sure Hank gets a bottle.
And my son, Hank was this big, right, just a
lump of a human. She'd go teach a three hour
class and then come back and then she was home
all day and then she teach three hour class to
come back. I didn't know, so I just took the
bottle out of the fridge and I didn't know to
warm it up. I didn't know. And I remember giving
him a bottle that was cold out of the fridge
(27:42):
and he's shivering while I'm giving it to Hi. I'm like,
I don't think this is right. I've never seen this happen,
and I learned very quickly. I didn't know what to do,
and my house became a failure factory, and I didn't
have two skills sets umber one. I didn't know even
know what questions to ask, and I was ashamed that
I couldn't even take care of my own son. And
I didn't know how to be married to a mom.
(28:04):
I didn't know that that was a totally different that
was a foreign thing to me. And so I knew
how to be married to my old girlfriend. I didn't
know how to be married to a working mom who
is also trying to navigate this and also dealing with
her own I want to be home, but I also
want to be a professional, and I don't know how
to Like women have their own failure factory that the
world has handed them. You can't win. And so here's
what I did. I knew one thing I could do
(28:25):
that would help my family that I could win at
and that was work more. And so I slowly took
on another class. Let me adjunk this class. Hey, I'll
be a professor on top of my DNA student's job,
also being a consultant too. And I knew, Okay, I
don't know how to do this. I don't know how
to do this, but I can go make money. And
it was by degrees that we just started doing this.
Being separated. I work a little more right. And we
(28:46):
find each other six inches on the couch, but we're
six thousand miles away from each other. Yeah, and then
we sit down and I got my iPad working on
a new scheme, and she's scroll on her phone, and
you end up trying to do the best you can
for each other. And what I had to learn, the
skill I had to learn not to overdramatize it. The
skill I had to learn was how to be uncomfortable
asking a question that I think I should know but
(29:07):
I don't know, and just asking for help, asking for help. Sure,
he had to learn, Oh, it doesn't make him stupid
or uncaring or an idiot that he doesn't know that
you warm up a bottle for God's sakes, right, Or
here's how a diaper works. I don't know. I mean,
parents didn't let loud texts in males babysit when I
was a kid. I don't know. I'd never been around
a toddler, right. And so it was knowing, Oh, he's
(29:29):
trying to love both of us the best he knows
how he just doesn't that's a skill he doesn't have.
So it became about grace. But it started with me
saying where am I uncomfortable and not running from that discomfort,
but trying to head right through it. And I just
meant I had to get comfortable asking questions of people, what.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Is a normal sex life for a young, married couple
with two small children.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
The old counseling trope that is true is you can
either not have sex or you can put it on
the calendar. And we've been given this Hollywood story, which
is if it's not not spontaneous and wild and oh
my gosh, then it doesn't count. And what you end
up doing is the spontaneous moments with two young kids
and two working adults or somebody working and somebody being
(30:11):
at home. You just out of spontaneous moments because the
moment you have spontaneity, you both just fall asleep. Right,
You're just like, I'm out. And so we have to
decide we're going to intentionally find moments of time. And
this is it's a bad wrap on the internets, but
there is seasons of survival sex when we have nine
minutes I'm in if you're in, yeah, and there's no
(30:33):
candles and there's no loud music, and I have my
weird stretchy bra and you're wearing sweats with paint stains
on them. We're gonna go knock this out right, because
we have to keep having touch points and we have
to remember that just a season, it's like being in
the winter and I know you're in Arizona, so you
don't have that. But from there's like seasons when you
wear a coat and it's uncomfortable and it's cold, that's
(30:53):
the season Spring's coming. Those kids will slowly be able
to occupy themselves for an hour, Those slowly able to
get themselves in and out of the shower by the like,
it'll come back. But it's just a season.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Someone says, my fiance says, his biggest fear is that
we won't have sex at least six times a week.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
Is this realistic? No, it's not.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
I don't even say that.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
The craziest statistics are married couples have their best sex
in their late forties and fifties. And when you're twenty
six or you're thirty one, and you're in your best shape,
and you think sex is about being really sexy and
not being totally insanely connected with somebody and vulnerable, and
I don't care about the stretch marks. I think you're beautiful,
(31:38):
and I don't care about your weird, old beige bral
I don't care, And I don't care that you have
a belly. Now you don't have a psychology for that
when you're engaged, and so all you can see on
the front end is we're gonna have sex six times
a week. More power to you. It's an unrealistic expectation
that you're already framing on the front end. Here's a
(32:00):
better expectation. We will always talk about what's right for
us in this season. Right. That's like saying I never
want to live in Nashville because I'm a shorts guy
and a T shirt guy. All right, cool, but you
have never bundled up in the snow and played with
kids slid sledding down a mountain. Yeah, you think you
love shorts, but you wait until you see your exhausted
(32:23):
six year old kid climbing back up a mountain with
a all covered up with snot and snow. That's awesome, right,
And so it's just it's it's on the front end.
Couples ask me all the time, what's the what's how
much sexual we should be having. I refuse to answer
the statistics.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Because it just depends on each situation.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Are you able to both say here's which we want.
Can I tell you something that's become a bird in
my saddle and I let us say that sounds very Texan. Yeah,
it's become a thing that has become frustrating for me.
We need food, water, and oxygen, and I think we
have an I will blame me in my community, my
mental health community. You have to put your needs out.
(33:01):
What do you need? What do you need? When I
frame something as a need, I need sex, what I'm
doing is I'm making my well being all your responsibility.
And that is a burden that nobody can carry. A
way scarier and more vulnerable request is I want to
(33:22):
be with you. That's terrifying. So if I'm a guy
who is scared of my own feelings, it's easier for
me to say I need you to do these five
things right, It's scarier to say I want you to
do these five things. And guys are always asking me
how do I get off? I feel like after especially
with two kids, sex feel like a chore. How do
I get off the chore list? I wanted just to
(33:44):
desire me And man, when you start telling your spouse
like I need this, then you go on the chorre list.
I need to go to target. I need to make
sure these two kids have their stuff. They need their
snacks for school tomorrow. I need this, I need to
my husband needs sex. I'll put that. It's a different
thing when it's like, hey, I want you, and that's
a different level of vulnerability, and it's like did I
(34:05):
want you to and I have these things, It's like,
well do I'll do the dishes? My gosh? Right, if
that's what's standing between us, and so it's being able
to say here's what I want, I want you to
help around the house more. I want you to open
your eyes and see that I work a full time
job too, and then I have a full time job
taking care of the kids at home. I want you
to help, And that's a different level of I want
(34:26):
to be able to tell you I think you look
really good in these shorts and that shirt, and have
you not throw up a grown man timper.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Tantrum immediately nobody else thought about you, who's just twenty
four to seven flooding the zone. Back to my thirteen
year old owning this space every day, getting a convert
and then I'm thinking about we're going to stand back
(34:54):
and watch you.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Run circles around us.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
He said it best at Turning Point, USA, where we're
lent us. We're changing minds on campuses every semester, defending
conservative values and fighting for America's future. Your donation helps
keep us on campus. Join the movement and donate to
TPUSA today.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I just don't think it's so funny that Gavit is
like the face.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Of this commercial, because he's also right in this particular instance.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
He's right.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Dirty Point USA and Charlie are doing the best job
of anybody in the Conservative movement.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
In my humble opinion, you go.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
To TPUSA dot com to find out about information regarding
anything we're doing. The all the fantastic events. Why do
you less that started tonight is happening right now as
we speak, Which if you're you know, not a woman,
it doesn't matter to you because you couldn't have gone anyway.
You can't go to the Student Action Summit that's happening
in Tampa next month in conjunction with the Turning Point
(35:48):
Academies Educator Summit. So much going on TPUSA dot com.
Don't miss out on any of the fantastic and fun things.
I was talking to someone over the weekend who lives
in an area that the Turning Point American Comeback Tour
went to, and I said, yeah, you're just in your neck.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Of the woods.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Just oh, dang it, I wish I would have known.
You know, hey, you gotta go to TPSA dot com
to find out all of all of the events stops
everything the Turning Point is doing, Like I said, the
best in the conservative movement. In my humble opinion, you
can also email the show anytime you want. Tpt at
TPUSA dot com. Love reading every single one of your emails.
And you know the reason I think we don't read
(36:26):
as many emails live on the shows. They're all complimentary,
and I really appreciate all of you who send the
complimentary emails. Let me get some arguments in here. I
love people emailing. I always say you can email. Whether
you agree or whether you're wrong doesn't really matter. But
you know, there's a lot of people aren't. Just aren't
wrong and don't I don't know, we don't. We don't
get in as much of butting heads, which I don't
(36:48):
necessarily want.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
To butt heads with people, but it is engaging. It's
good to.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Engage the other side of the ideological aisle. That being said,
it's Friday. Let's have some fun. Speaking of immigration, I
just I if you do what people here are doing
in any other country around the world, including some super
third worldly countries. By the way, this isn't that particular case,
(37:13):
you will get deported. That's it's it's you just will.
And I saw this clip on Instagram and I needed
to share it with you. This is a young woman,
a United States citizen, getting her butt booted out of Mexico.
Speaker 11 (37:29):
Watch this, well, this is what happens when you get
caught in Mexico. How did they even find me in
the first place. I was coming back from a concert
in a bus let's stop at a toll booth. Some
guy came in asking for I showed him my californiaity,
but I didn't have my past. Next thing I knew,
I was in a vat. I got to the immigration office.
They patted me down, took away all my belonging. They
looked me up, and they saw that we were stayed
by one hundred and eighty day tourist. He said, Long
(37:50):
story short, They didn't let me leave the immigration office
until I bought my ticket to go back to the USA,
which is crazy because I already have my dual citizenship
in process, but it's not complete. It could be why
it didn't show in the closest fly I could get.
Had multiple stop before I went to La I stopped
at Mont Day. I thought it was gonna be a
smooth process going back to the United States, but then
this happened. I didn't get my little paper sent that
(38:11):
they give you when you enter the country, so I
ended up missing my flight, and anyone that overstays there
one hundred and eighty day you have to pay a
fee of seven hundred and seventeen vessel, which is thirty
five dollars. Since I'm being kicked out of the country,
I didn't have to pay it anyways. They got me
another multiple stop fly. It took me two more flights
before I got back to the United States. Ah Yes,
and once I saw the Edgar Kutz and the La Outfo,
I landed back to the mother.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Those racist, bigoted xenophobes. I can't believe that that there's
so much hate there. You know what we're gonna do.
You can send an email to TPT at tpusa dot com.
Get yourself on the list. We're gonna go down there.
We're gonna wave American flags and say we deserve to
be here, because that's that's what we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
As you.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I can't believe again the racism going on in Mexico.
Kicking somebody out of their country.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
That's all it is. It has to be racism. It
can't be you know, functioning laws and a society that
you know has to have law enforcement at the border,
and that's that's not what it is. It's it's racism again.
You can email TPT at TPUSA dot com. You want
to get on that list to go down there and
protest those bigots, those xenophobes down in Mexico for enforcing
(39:24):
their federal immigration law. Or you can look at it
like a rational and sane individual, or go, yeah, that's
what happens. You come into somewhere illegally, you're gonna get
kicked out. Try you know what, try this, Go into
your neighbor's backyard and when he says, hey, what are
you doing in my backyard? By the way, hopefully you
don't get shot by breaking into your neighbor's backyard.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But when he says, hey, what are you doing in
my backyard?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Say no, I deserve to be here, I live here,
wave the flag to your house, and then tell him
he's rude and racist. Probably if he tells you to
go back to your yard. I wonder what would happen
if that were the case. Don't actually try that, by
the way, that's not don't actually do that. You may
end up with some holes in your torso, uh, not
(40:10):
a good idea. But anyways, that's Friday. It's fun, we're
having it. We're having a good time. But that's gonna
do it for us here at turning point tonight. For
tonight and.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
For the week.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Hey have a great weekend. Take take some time away
from what's going on in the news. There's a lot
going on in the news. We didn't even touch on
the Iran situation. But uh, have a good weekend. Spend
it with some some people you love, some family, and
we will see you on Monday, where I think we're
gonna be Aaron Charlie Kirk's speech from YWLS as Long
along with his wife Erica, don't go away. Sorry, We'll
(40:39):
see you Monday. God bless America.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
We saw this happening in real time yesterday, the news
heard around the world. We were live streaming last night.
And it's important in times like this, in situations that
involved war and kinetic conflict, to report the facts and
to stay calm, collected, with a lot of precision, not
to get too excited, not to get involved in hyperbole,
(41:19):
or measure be very measured in your reporting. In fact,
I believe you, the audience, that's why you keep on
tuning in right now. We are the number one conservative
podcast in Apple News because we did a late night
stream all about the Israeli strikes on Iran. And you
can count that this program will have a pro civilization,
pro American view on all these things. And we're gonna
(41:42):
tell it like it is. We're gonna report all the
facts of exactly what has happened.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
So what occurred, Well.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
So Israel hit over one hundred targets against Iran, and
as I am talking right now, it's continuing. The bombing
campaign is continuing. Here is what is so remarkable is
that Israel was involved in a little bit of a
deception campaign, totally legitimate. There's nothing wrong with deceiving your enemy.
Israel said, oh, now, who's gonna go to a wedding
(42:09):
and we're going to try to you know, try to
slow walk, and we might go to DC and you know,
have some talks and some diplomacy. And amazingly Iran let
its guard down. Israel was able to infiltrate the inner
circle of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They were able to
(42:31):
infiltrate the top levels of the IRGC. And we're gonna
learn a lot more of what happened in the days
and weeks of exactly what has happened. But this was
not merely just a bombing attack against Iran's nuclear facilities.
It was a decapitation strike against the entire Iranian military.
(42:52):
They took out Mohmmad Bagari, the chief of the Iranian
Chief of Staff General Staff, the head of their military.
That is like the equivalent of taking out JD. Vance
and Susie Wiles. They took out Hassain Hossein Salami, the
commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. They also hit the following targets.
(43:13):
The capitol in Tehran, knots where Iran enrinch'es uranium Tabrice,
where explosions have been reported, near a nuclear research center
and two military bases a Kurmasha. I'm butchering these pronunciations,
but whatever west of Tehran, where an underground facility storing
ballistic missiles was hit near the Iraqi border, plus other
(43:34):
major cities like Isafahan and Iraq a Roq Aarak well,
not a rock yet the country. Iran's air defenses appeared
to have been totally compromised, offering no resistance at all
to Israeli air strikes and to the knowledge that we
have right now and again this could change at any moment.
(43:55):
It looks as if not a single Israeli aircraft has
been shot down again that much it's the fog of war,
so we do not know yet. But we don't have
any reports of any Israeli aircraft that has yet been
taken down. Israel was apparently able to execute execute some
(44:15):
stunning infiltrations, such as smuggling explosive explosives directly into Iran
it advance of the strike. Regardless of your opinion of Israel,
even if you hate Israel to your core, you have
to have remarkable respect for Massad and their military for
(44:36):
what they were able to pull off. Here understand that
Iran knew this was coming, and without getting into too
many details, we knew this was coming. In fact, I
was talking to Blake and Andrew and I'm like, guys,
unless my sources are totally wrong, in about two hours,
Iran is about to get lit up like a Christmas tree.
(44:58):
So I knew it was coming. A lot of other
reporters I was talking to knew it was coming, and
Iran still was infiltrated. Because it seems as if that
Israel was able to infiltrate at such the highest levels
of the Iranian government. They use the looming attack as
a way to gather all of these senior Iranian officials
(45:19):
together to then strike them. Remember, we moved out all
diplomatic and non essential staff. This was somewhat of a
deception surprise attack, but this was the longest wind up here.
It comes here, it comes here, it comes, and it
does beg the question is Iran a paper tiger? And
(45:41):
we'll explore that later, which is, wait, we're I understand
that the intel shows that they were close to a
nuclear weapon, but there's a little bit of a contradiction
here of if they really don't have any air defense
systems and they're this foolish and kind of a third
world country, it really makes you wonder, like how sophisticated
(46:01):
a threat this actually is. However, it's happening, and Israel
is a sovereign country and they made and you have
to just say this, they made an incredibly balsy move
with a lot of hutzpa. Took a lot of hutzba
for them to do this, and we're going to find
out in the next couple days and weeks and months
the ramifications of that, especially from a pro American standpoint,
(46:23):
which I want to get into. But they also killed
some of the nuclear scientists. That's five point sixty four good.
Speaker 9 (46:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (46:29):
By the way, if you want to just have entertainment,
watch this show of me trying to pronounce these ridiculous
Persian names. Fara dune Abbasi.
Speaker 9 (46:37):
I think I got that one.
Speaker 7 (46:39):
Mohammad Meddi Tarajanani, the physicist and president of the Islamic
Azad University in Tehran. The Israeli operation was not just airstrikes.
The Israeli Masad Intelligence Service has operatives on the ground
conducting covert sabotage operations on missile and air defense sites
and it's ongoing. Israel right now has comp fleet command
(47:01):
over the air of a run. No one really could
have anticipated that. No one could have predicted it, and
this is why no planes have been shot down. And
bibing at Yahoo and the Israeli government, they're basically having
an all you can eat buffet in Iran. These They've
had these targets basically in their tickler file for quite
some time. They've had these targets like, hey, here, they
(47:23):
are all over Iran for quite some time, and they're like,
why are we going to stop now?
Speaker 2 (47:28):
We're just gonna keep on going.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
They have all they this is a dream for Israel
in the sense where they, for quite some time would
would love to have been able just to fly over
Iranian airspace with no opposition whatsoever. Five point sixty two,
which I think is a very important picture. Yes, some
residential buildings were struck, but that's some pretty remarkable precision.
(47:50):
This visual is something, and on podcasting and radio you
just have to take pause and be like, that's as
good and as sophisticated as a military that I think
you'll ever see.
Speaker 9 (48:01):
Then
A hospital in a big blue city is getting rid
of their trans youth department. We'll talk about why they're
doing it, and is that a route that we'd like
to take to see these kind of results. Also the
big beautiful parade that's happening, and the unbelievable irony of
the protest and what it's named. All that and more
coming up on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My
(00:29):
name is Jobob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together,
we're charting the course of America's cultural comeback. This is
Turning Point Tonight. Now we again.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Have to talk about the riots.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I realize they're a riot fatigue, immigration fatigue, but nuke
stuff keeps coming up every single day. I'm not going
to be long winded on it. I'd love to get
to our panel straight out of the gate. Amber Duke
is a senior editor for The Daily Caller. And Andrew
Gruhle is a conservative commentator. You see him pretty much
everywhere all around the country. Guys, thanks for.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Joining us, of course, thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I want to start off with this. We're going into
another weekend, which generally means unfortunately, because nobody wants to
see this more unrest around the country as the riots
have spread outside of La to all over the place.
This is the response from a sheriff in Florida. I
want to play this clip for you and then get
your reaction. Is this too harsh of a tone or
(01:24):
is it the standard that needs to be set?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Watch this.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
If throw a brick, a fire bomb, or point a
gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying
your family where to collect your remains at because we
will kill you graveyard dead. We're not going to play.
This has got to stop.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
As a person that very very very much does not
like rioting, Amber, I don't know your thoughts of this
my first inclination. I'll be honest, I kind of like it,
but also I recognize the overpowering authority of the government.
A good thing, bad thing, too harsh, not harsh enough?
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I think it's great.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I don't know what other kind of dead there
is beyond graveyard dead, Like I'm pretty sure that's the
only tide. But nonetheless I would I would say, you know,
there's probably a lot of people around this country that
would appreciate a little bit more candor from their sheriffs.
On what they're going to do to put down riots.
And this is also coupled, by the way, by the way,
with the fact that Governor DeSantis just said very clearly
(02:20):
that if you are surrounded by a mob in your car,
you have the right to defend yourself. You can drive
through away from those people trying to smash your windows,
which I think is another important reminder as we're looking
at what's happening in La New York, Chicago and probably
soon the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, it's to me again like I kind of think,
I like it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Is it harsh?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, but maybe harshness is needed in this time Andrew Grule,
So you travel all over the place, you're in blue cities,
then you're in red cities. Can what is the difference
between the two and same kind of posing the question here?
Is this too harsh? Should more blue cities take up
this kind of rhetoric to deter the rioting and burning
down other cities?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Certainly this is the type of communication that we need, clear,
concise and to the point, I think there's too much
of a gray area where people can interpret and say, well,
you know, I could do this, and they're really not
going to do anything, and then that's evidenced obviously by
the lack of prosecutions across all these different blue cities.
So very Florida. Here to the point, you're done. Don't
threaten our lives, don't threaten our safety. And I'll guarantee
(03:24):
you that the line share of people in Florida appreciate this.
And while they might be playing it all over the news,
especially in blue city saying, oh my gosh, I can't
believe he said this in Florida, I'm sure people are
very thankful that he is so to the point.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, it's a shame.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I think that's getting replayed over and over and over
again on MSNBC, which is a shame that nobody watches MSNBC.
But I think that's a great commercial for conservative stances
around the country. Amber I thought this was interesting going
on yesterday, a phrase that we've heard all too many
times recently. A federal judge brocks President Trump from using
the National Guard in California, and then Peel's court put
(04:00):
a stay on that. It's kind of just the back
and forth thing politically speaking, right because Gavin Newsom is
trying to get as much attention as he can. Who
benefits if President Trump ultimately can't use the National Guard.
In other words, it's all on Gavin. He's rejected the
help and if things go poorly, you know it, all
(04:22):
the blame all lays at his feet. Politically speaking, who
kind of benefits most from this back and forth ping
ponging of whether he can or can't do it?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, you hint it out there. Gavin Newsom would have
all of the responsibility if the LAPD were not capable
of containing the riots, which seems to be the case
so far. Right these things have been going on for
a full week at this point, we continue to watch
videos of people firebombing with the poor way mo cars,
(04:51):
throwing rocks at police officers, trying to barricade ice in
federal buildings, and on the you know, the legal authority question,
to me, there should be question, because the reasoning for
sending the National Guard is very clear. If federal officials
are not able to carry out their duties, then that
is a justifiable reason. The President did the right thing
(05:13):
by sending the Guard in, and I think Gavin Newsom
would quickly come to regret it if the National Guard
was not able to keep these riots, keep these riots
down and chaos continues to spread throughout the streets of LA.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, and same kind of question, because Gavin and pretty
much everybody in the LA area saying, no, this.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Is totally fine.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They're just people out there having fun watching the cars burn.
Which is an exact quote from a guy on KTLA, which.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is insane to me.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But like this, it has to be right the case
that Gavin is going to be the only person to
blame because he's the one rejecting President Trump's offer to help,
which is how I see this. I don't know politically,
who do you think benefits if, in fact, things go
poorly this weekend?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I mean, look, the narrative that everything is okay
is as broken as a vinigrad. It's disgusting and it's oily.
And I'm using that analogy specifically because of Gavin's hair,
the person who wins. They're trying to redirect the company
to make this a political battle, and Newsom wants this
to be about Newsom and the state of California versus Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
They're raising funds on that.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
That's constantly been the underlying thesis of all that he's
done since Trump has been in office.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
So they need.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
This is like a little mini battle, right, a semi final,
if you will, leading up to some sort of bigger
battle that he's trying to raise money for.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
We can probably speculate.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
So he wants to win this, and the back and
forth on this I think just goes to show that
he's got a wobbly foundation and he can't even get
the courts even after hands selecting judges. I think that
he really overplayed his hand here thinking that all of
the courts were going to be in his favor regardless
of precedent.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And there are actually clearly still some judges.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Out there that are like, okay, like more than willing
to get into the gray area, but like, you're really
kind of giving me a hard case here, because he
clearly has the power. Now, this very well could go
back in twenty minutes and they say, oh, well, now
you don't have the power.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
You do?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You don't you do? I think we're used to that,
but he's lost this communications battle.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, And it's fascinating to see just this term put
from political standpoint too, right, whether or not if it's
effective technical reasons, just what the American people ultimately think,
because clearly Gavin Newsmans running for president, and that's his
only angle here Amber, we can kind of zoom out
past California into some other areas of this immigration battle.
(07:36):
There were four escapees from a detention center in New
Jersey after the there was a protest outside. Yes, you
saw Alex Padilla yesterday, which sorry, we played that on
yesterday show. It was just so funny and so delicious
because he's planning to play the victim.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
How does this play overall to.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Like the masses of the American people? What are people
in which tah or in Oklahoma City seeing this as
is this a winning thing for conservatives going forward? How
do you see it?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, immigration is the most popular part of Trump's agenda.
When you pull people on the issues, he has a
majority of Americans still supporting the mass importation program. The
numbers get even higher when you're talking about criminal illegals,
which is who Ice was there to arrest in California.
And so I just find it impossible to believe that
Americans are going to see Democrats engaging in these antics
(08:32):
on behalf of people who are in the country illegally,
many of whom have committed additional crimes on top of
that and think that they're engaging in a winning message.
It's just mind blowing to me that this is the
hobby horse that they've chosen. And I think actually they
might have had a point if they were going after
Trump for maybe some of the student visa revocations, for
(08:54):
people who wrote op eds that were maybe too polite
to Hamas. But they've gone so far beyond the pale
with a Brago Garcia child rapist in LA I mean,
you can't come back from that. You have planted your
foot firmly on the wrong side of the debate on
what is a seventy thirty to eighty twenty.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Issue Amber, How dare you impugne the reputation of a
Maryland father who also allegedly beat his wife and was
human trafficking. I just can't believe that you would do
such a thing.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
True.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Is this was printed in the New York Times, printed,
I mean typed up and read digitally, because I don't
think anybody prints out The New York Times anymore. Just
before ten PM, some members of the crowd dragged plastic
construction barricades toward the gate. Soon after, groups of protesters
began linking arms blocking a van and suv from exiting
through the gate. They're they're just crowd members that are
(09:48):
doing this. This is what led to the escapees escaping.
I mean, not to batter the same horse over and
over again, but who's who's reading this and going, oh yeah,
those are just they're peaceful protests who are doing violent
destruction at ice facilities.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Nobody.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
This is an expository essay that's failed in high school.
Because they're trying to shape the narrative and they're doing
an awful job at that. So they're hoping that they
can sway their readers, which they don't realize is nothing
more than an elite cabal who's studying like this religious
cult and nothing else. And they're trying to sway them
and forgetting about the line share of voters who actually
(10:27):
want to see these criminals deported.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
As Amber said, you.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Know, and I think that as they're shaping this narrative,
they're realizing that they're ending up in a dead end.
They might try and backtrack a little bit, and it's
going to quickly move on to like some other sensationalized
element within this immigration debate. But they keep losing over
and over and over again, and Also, these people are
really LARPing as revolutionaries. They think that they're like, you know,
this is the Boston Tea Party and they're saving a country,
(10:53):
when in reality they're the criminals themselves.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
They completely lost sense of reality.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
No, I love that for anybody who doesn't. LARPing is
live action roleplay, in other words, pretending to be revolutionaries.
And there's this is bad and I probably gonna get
in trouble for saying this. There's a part of me
that wants the whip to get cracked as if they
were real revolutionaries, to see just how bad of a
cosplay this actually is. Amber Duke Andrew gru will be
(11:19):
right back after the break to discuss a big Blue Cities,
big hospital getting rid of their trans youth program. O'goy'll
be right back after the break. And Los Angeles is
(11:42):
finally making news. We haven't heard anything crazy going on
from that city in a very long time, but finally
the city of Los Angeles is in the news. The
Children's Hospital of Los Angeles is closing its Center for
trans Youth Health and Developmental and gender affirming care surgical program.
Thank good, Let's bring our panel back. Amber Duke of
The Daily caller Andrew Gruel Chef extraordinary guys.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So this amber. I thought this was really.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Interesting because the reasoning that the hospital is giving is
that Trump's executive orders was going to strip funding for them.
Hospital officials say without that funding, the hospital will only
be able to stay afloat for fifty days. I personally
would love to see people back off this transgender manius
stuff because they've come to some sort of moro realization.
(12:29):
But at the same time, I'm not mad about the
fact that hitting their wallet and their budget is also effective.
What are your kind of thoughts to societally speaking, Is
that how we want to attack this stuff, or is
this an effective way to go forward as well hitting
them in the wallet?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Well, I mean, ideally these people would actually read the
science and realize what they're doing is so harmful to kids,
but they're so deluded that unfortunately, I think political force
is the only thing that's going to work for a
lot of these people. So I think Trump's CEO is
a great way of getting at the issue. Look, Republicans
for a long time have been sort of reticent to
use government power, and Trump has sort of flipped that
on its head and said the left does it to
(13:09):
us all the time. We're going to take advantage of
the avenues we have when we have them, and so
I support it. And by the way, you know, a
couple of months ago, I decided to call a bunch
of these hospitals that receive federal funding that have transgender
clinics to ask if they were still taking youth patients,
and a lot of them were openly defying the executive order.
So I have a list together at the Daily Caller
(13:31):
hopefully that Trump administration will use it so that my
work doesn't go to waste. But man, it was it
was so hard on the phone to not just yell
at these people and tell them how ghoulish they were.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well, yeah, more power to you, because I probably would
have flown off the handlebars if I were trying to
get that similar information. Andrew the idea of, you know,
kind of like libertarian las a fairy ish with or
actual conservative policy, and were kind of touched on it
lives use policy to actually make us do things. Conservatives
(14:03):
are usually kind of like, ah, you know, let everybody
kind of do whatever they want. We're going to stay
out of it. It seems like we're kind of turning
a corner making conservative policy actually do something. And you know,
if this is the effect of it, that's kind of
hard to argue with.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
What are your thoughts, Yeah, definitely, but this all comes
back to money.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
I'm always going to look at this broadening the scope
from a business perspective and a financial perspective. You see,
there is this underscores the financial disaster that the medical
system is in California, especially in many of these blue states,
because we know that the way in which Democrats view
the medical industrial complex is completely upside down and is
only going to lead to more bankruptcy. Right, this idea
(14:45):
of like, you know, free medicaid for free medical for all,
that's absurd. They've used this kind of trans issue as
an outlying issue to try and raise more funds, but
they've come up against the federal government now and that reason,
and that's important. We don't even need to wax on
about the fact that this is just an im moral
issue altogether. I think most Americans actually do agree with that,
(15:07):
and probably many of the doctors that are associated with
this also agree with that. But what this shows you
is is that how much money was coming from the
federal government into the states and into these hospitals that
shouldn't exist, you know, kind of a Dojian approach to this,
and really we.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Need to flip the system upside down from a financial perspective.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, no, that's actually a very good good point to
talking about the finances of it. Speaking of the finance,
this is happening in California, Andrew, I know you're super
excited to hear this. I am also excited as well.
July first, gas prices are going up with a new
gas tax, because of course California doesn't get tax enough.
Gavin Newsom's primary goal as a running for president of
the United States, are your taxes too low?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, elect me.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
For president and all of your taxes will go up.
We actually don't know how much the gas taxes are
going to go up because there's two different components there,
and it depends on what the state wants to do,
and it could go up potentially as much as sixty
cents per gallon. Amber to kind of tail this back
to the tax burden of people on blue states, right,
(16:10):
This whole idea of the salt tax, and I'm hoping
people know what the salt tax deductions are is people
in blue states who have high tax burdens should be
able to write that off of their federal income tax.
That greatly benefits me, But it doesn't seem super fair
to a bunch of people in states that don't have
high taxes. The idea that the tax burden is just
(16:32):
you can't do anything about it. It's just there, and
unfortunately these people have to suffer through it. I don't
quite understand why Californians don't realize that from the outside
looking in, how are you looking at California increasing taxes
and then also complaining about it at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh, it's wild. And there's a reason I live in
Virginia not Maryland, right, And it's mostly because of the taxes.
Also guns, but mostly taxes. And I have to say,
you know, I visited the La area a couple of
years ago and I got a rental car from lax
and I had to stop for gas on my way
back to the airport, and I was stunned at the price.
(17:11):
It was like eight dollars a gallon. I couldn't believe it.
And not only that, but for my additional punishment for
daring to get gas in California, I was screamed at
by a crazy, homeless lady the entire time that I
was filling up the car. So not a great experience. Honestly,
bless y'all's hearts for doing what you do, because I
certainly couldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, thanks, thank you for congratulating us for surviving in California.
And yeah, Andrew, I mean, when you go to the
gas station, are you shocked anymore? Because I'm just from
California to California at a certain level, you just get
hit in the face so many times, just like, great,
I have big seven.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Dollars for gas, and that's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And I, you know, I don't know what's the experience
like for you.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
It's like going to a base ball game or a
concert and you go up to the concession stand and
is forty dollars for a beer of twenty five dollars
for a soda and you just kind of you knew
that going into it. It's really the same thing. And
actually the lady Amber, the lady that was yelling at you,
her name is Nancy. She's wonderful. I see her and
her sister and others. All the fascinations around here. They've
actually started a homeless union. It's unbelievable. But I think
(18:21):
we've lost sight of what taxes and let me let
me rephrase that. I think generally speaking, most Americans are
willing to pay a certain level of taxes as long
as they know what the immediate return is going to be. Right,
you know, clean streets, clean cities, potholes, tree overhangs, all
the basic things that force cities and communities that allow
(18:41):
them to all function.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
And there's kind of like a communal acceptance there.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But this tax, this tax increase that could be up
to sixty to seventy cents on top of what's already
an egregious price.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
The return for the consumer is.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
A priori environmental benefit, which we know always proves out
to actually hurt the environment.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
That's the irony behind it.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
So the fact that it's going directly into the pockets
of some fat cat bureaucrat or politician in California just
enrages me even more. But I still go to the
concession and of the beer.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, that's that's my pitch, Andrew, And I tell people
California is not so bad because you know, the taxes
may be high, but at least it's also governed horribly.
So over tomorrow there's gonna be a big parade in Washington,
d C. A military parade. I actually personally can fall
on either side of this art I don't I don't
really have too much of a dog in the fight.
(19:34):
I like the fact that America has the best, biggest
military out there.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I think we should show that off. And at the same.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Time, yeah, it feels a little kind of I don't know,
it doesn't like not necessary.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
There's there is a strength in kind.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Of just having the big stick hidden and everybody knows
but you don't have to say anything about it. But
amber this is what I thought was fascinating. The counter
protest to the big parade is called the No King's protest.
When I first saw that and I thought, wait, is
that what the parade is called? Because that's what America is.
The founding is entirely no kings. Do they understand the
(20:07):
irony here?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Do?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know what kind of what's going through the
minds of people who think that that's what's happening. And
also too, I guess to the parade and the anti
parade tomorrow, what are your predictions of who's going to
turn out. What the sizes are going to be, the
numbers are going to be for the protest.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Just based on traffic in DC the past couple of days,
I think it's going to be pretty massive. The No
Kings people, I actually see them every day driving home
from work, because about five to ten of them stand
on an overpass above three ninety five and they have
their little signs, and of course they have Ukrainian flags
with them, because why not. I'm surprised they don't have
Palestinian flags yet. But it's a very sad group of people.
(20:51):
They're actually not having a protest in downtown DC because
they don't want to give more attention to Trump. But
you know, the important thing about this parade is it's
not just a random military parade, right this is the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the US Army, which
was established on June fourteenth, seventeen seventy five. And that
makes the No Kings protest even sillier because the US
Army is established and then goes on to allow America
(21:14):
its independence from Kings.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
So we are.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Celebrating actually our liberation from exactly what they claimed the
government is going through right now.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I thought the founding and just us existing was the
protest to no Kings. Yeah, we don't want kings. That's
the whole point of the country. Andrew, what do you
I mean, what do you predict next week is going
to look like after this? Do you think this is
kind of kind of kind of be a blip or
is this going to be the talking point for MSNBC
for Monday and Tuesday? Like, how dare we have this
(21:45):
big parade and look at the brave protesters they're showing
support for the same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I guess because no Kings.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I think that the talking point they're going to attempt
to make a name narrative about this, it'll probably just
fizzle away.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
It's not going to be that sticky.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
I think that the anniversary parade is really just a
one off as opposed to counterpoint that to the No
Kings group, which they're just professional protesters. I mean, these
are the same people that were hands off doing the
hands off protesters. There're the same people that were protesting Trump,
you know, for four years. You know, this is all
the same group, and I think that they've lost any power.
So I do appreciate kind of the one off and
(22:24):
the celebration of this anniversary. I also appreciate your sentiment
that do we really want to be flexing our muscles
so hard, because it is it's kind of like the
you know, the jock walking around the party senior year
in high school telling everybody that he's so strong and
watch how far he can throw the football. But really
they want that kind of obscure, intelligent artist in the
corner who's actually like a free thinker, and he goes
(22:46):
on to become the popular one, while the jock ends
up working at home depot, not that there's anything wrong
with that, and the you know, I think that this
is really what that's about. You know, I once again
I don't pay too much mind to any of this
stuff anymore because it's just all become so performative.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, yeah, because you know, I could be swayed either way.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm glad that it's happening, and I think it'll be
really interesting to watch in the wall see the fallout
or like thereof next week. From the libs, Amber Duke
Andrew Gruel, thank you guys so much for joining us.
Really appreciate you taking the time and have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Thanks for having coming up next year and turning point.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Tonight, we've got a fascinating clips from Alex Klar's Culture
Apothecary podcast.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Don Koye will be right back after this.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
What are some specific examples on how to show your
husband you respect him.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
I think respect has become a very loaded word because
I think there is a I'll call him a group
of men, a sliver of men that respect means you
never challenge me, you never call me out, you never
point out anything. You do what I say. And that's
not respect, that's manipulation, that is a power trip, that's
(24:06):
an ego. Respect in my world is I remember an
old football coach in Texas telling you that's a religion
of its own right. But he was really letting me
have it. And I was a good athlete, but I
was also kind of lazy, and he was letting me
have it and letting me have it, and he saw
me starting to hang my head, and I remember him
pulling me aside and he said, hey, you'll know I
(24:26):
don't care about you when I stop trying to hold
you to an excellent standard. I've never felt more respected
and seen He's like, I see something in you. You
don't see and you're fifteen and you're a knucklehead. I'm
gonna keep leaning on you because I see greatness in you.
I'm not gonna let this ride my wife, if she
truly respects me, she says, Hey, that's not how we
talk to each other in this house. We agreed on
(24:47):
our family values that are on our wall right here.
This is who the Deloneys are. And so respect is
I see an area where you've announced to the world,
and it's more than pulling into the world. To me,
this is who we are and you're not living standard.
And so I think respect comes from a sense of
shared values and who are we gonna be? And in
our house we are, to quote my friend will get Era,
(25:10):
unreasonably hospitable. Everybody's welcome at the Lonely House. We have
a cast of characters that we live in Nashville. Everyone's
always visiting Nashville. We have some whack of dos that
stay with us and we love it. And I think
my wife said the other night, thirteen or the last
twenty nights, we've had somebody in our house and it's awesome. Yeah.
And we lead with curiosity over judgment. We lead with
tell me more about that and not the's stupid right,
(25:32):
and so whatever, we can go down a list, and
so respect is, hey, this is who we said we
were going to be, and like you're getting real loud
or I can feel the tension when you're coming home
from work and what's going on? How can I love
you right now?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
And so what happens if you are kindly saying that
to your significant other, You're pointing out something, but then
they keep making the mistake.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
This is unpopular to say, but behavior is a language,
and so what are they telling you if it happens again?
It happens again. What they're telling you through their behavior
is I don't care what you say. I don't care
that you're trying to help me. I would rather sit
in my own with my own small ego. I would
(26:16):
rather try to protect my fragileness by getting loud, getting
big and pushing you away or blaming you for my discomfort.
Like I said, in this wild, weird dating world we
have when we finally get somebody, anybody off of an
app like a real person, and it goes to date
four and we're like, okay, this is probably we're probably
getting married right when you go from this to this.
It's like where this is happening. It's hard to really
(26:39):
land and choose reality, which is this person, through their actions,
doesn't love me.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I agree with you.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Do you feel like that's a different scenario though, when
you're seven years into marriage versus one year knowing each other.
Like the grace of working through I'm learning some behaviors
and things.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
It's about grace, and it's about saying, Okay, I've run
the extent of my skill set, and I think we
overdramatize it sometimes. Here's what happened to my house. Okay,
doctor alone. My wife's a professor, doctor delone Amadina students,
and so I'm up twenty four seven, three sixty five
dealing with crisis and all kinds of stuff with students.
My wife's a professor. We have a kid. I remember,
right out of the gate, she would pump and I
(27:20):
didn't even know what pumping was. But then she was
teaching and she said, hey, make sure Hank gets a bottle.
And my son, Hank was this big, right, just a
lump of a human. She'd go teach a three hour
class and then come back and then she was home
all day and then she teach three hour class to
come back. I didn't know, so I just took the
bottle out of the fridge and I didn't know to
warm it up. I didn't know. And I remember giving
him a bottle that was cold out of the fridge
(27:42):
and he's shivering while I'm giving it to Hi. I'm like,
I don't think this is right. I've never seen this happen,
and I learned very quickly. I didn't know what to do,
and my house became a failure factory, and I didn't
have two skills sets umber one. I didn't know even
know what questions to ask, and I was ashamed that
I couldn't even take care of my own son. And
I didn't know how to be married to a mom.
(28:04):
I didn't know that that was a totally different that
was a foreign thing to me. And so I knew
how to be married to my old girlfriend. I didn't
know how to be married to a working mom who
is also trying to navigate this and also dealing with
her own I want to be home, but I also
want to be a professional, and I don't know how
to Like women have their own failure factory that the
world has handed them. You can't win. And so here's
what I did. I knew one thing I could do
(28:25):
that would help my family that I could win at
and that was work more. And so I slowly took
on another class. Let me adjunk this class. Hey, I'll
be a professor on top of my DNA student's job,
also being a consultant too. And I knew, Okay, I
don't know how to do this. I don't know how
to do this, but I can go make money. And
it was by degrees that we just started doing this.
Being separated. I work a little more right. And we
(28:46):
find each other six inches on the couch, but we're
six thousand miles away from each other. Yeah, and then
we sit down and I got my iPad working on
a new scheme, and she's scroll on her phone, and
you end up trying to do the best you can
for each other. And what I had to learn, the
skill I had to learn not to overdramatize it. The
skill I had to learn was how to be uncomfortable
asking a question that I think I should know but
(29:07):
I don't know, and just asking for help, asking for help. Sure,
he had to learn, Oh, it doesn't make him stupid
or uncaring or an idiot that he doesn't know that
you warm up a bottle for God's sakes, right, Or
here's how a diaper works. I don't know. I mean,
parents didn't let loud texts in males babysit when I
was a kid. I don't know. I'd never been around
a toddler, right. And so it was knowing, Oh, he's
(29:29):
trying to love both of us the best he knows
how he just doesn't that's a skill he doesn't have.
So it became about grace. But it started with me
saying where am I uncomfortable and not running from that discomfort,
but trying to head right through it. And I just
meant I had to get comfortable asking questions of people, what.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Is a normal sex life for a young, married couple
with two small children.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
The old counseling trope that is true is you can
either not have sex or you can put it on
the calendar. And we've been given this Hollywood story, which
is if it's not not spontaneous and wild and oh
my gosh, then it doesn't count. And what you end
up doing is the spontaneous moments with two young kids
and two working adults or somebody working and somebody being
(30:11):
at home. You just out of spontaneous moments because the
moment you have spontaneity, you both just fall asleep. Right,
You're just like, I'm out. And so we have to
decide we're going to intentionally find moments of time. And
this is it's a bad wrap on the internets, but
there is seasons of survival sex when we have nine
minutes I'm in if you're in, yeah, and there's no
(30:33):
candles and there's no loud music, and I have my
weird stretchy bra and you're wearing sweats with paint stains
on them. We're gonna go knock this out right, because
we have to keep having touch points and we have
to remember that just a season, it's like being in
the winter and I know you're in Arizona, so you
don't have that. But from there's like seasons when you
wear a coat and it's uncomfortable and it's cold, that's
(30:53):
the season Spring's coming. Those kids will slowly be able
to occupy themselves for an hour, Those slowly able to
get themselves in and out of the shower by the like,
it'll come back. But it's just a season.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Someone says, my fiance says, his biggest fear is that
we won't have sex at least six times a week.
Speaker 9 (31:10):
Is this realistic? No, it's not.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
I don't even say that.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
The craziest statistics are married couples have their best sex
in their late forties and fifties. And when you're twenty
six or you're thirty one, and you're in your best shape,
and you think sex is about being really sexy and
not being totally insanely connected with somebody and vulnerable, and
I don't care about the stretch marks. I think you're beautiful,
(31:38):
and I don't care about your weird, old beige bral
I don't care, And I don't care that you have
a belly. Now you don't have a psychology for that
when you're engaged, and so all you can see on
the front end is we're gonna have sex six times
a week. More power to you. It's an unrealistic expectation
that you're already framing on the front end. Here's a
(32:00):
better expectation. We will always talk about what's right for
us in this season. Right. That's like saying I never
want to live in Nashville because I'm a shorts guy
and a T shirt guy. All right, cool, but you
have never bundled up in the snow and played with
kids slid sledding down a mountain. Yeah, you think you
love shorts, but you wait until you see your exhausted
(32:23):
six year old kid climbing back up a mountain with
a all covered up with snot and snow. That's awesome, right,
And so it's just it's it's on the front end.
Couples ask me all the time, what's the what's how
much sexual we should be having. I refuse to answer
the statistics.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Because it just depends on each situation.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Are you able to both say here's which we want.
Can I tell you something that's become a bird in
my saddle and I let us say that sounds very Texan. Yeah,
it's become a thing that has become frustrating for me.
We need food, water, and oxygen, and I think we
have an I will blame me in my community, my
mental health community. You have to put your needs out.
(33:01):
What do you need? What do you need? When I
frame something as a need, I need sex, what I'm
doing is I'm making my well being all your responsibility.
And that is a burden that nobody can carry. A
way scarier and more vulnerable request is I want to
(33:22):
be with you. That's terrifying. So if I'm a guy
who is scared of my own feelings, it's easier for
me to say I need you to do these five
things right, It's scarier to say I want you to
do these five things. And guys are always asking me
how do I get off? I feel like after especially
with two kids, sex feel like a chore. How do
I get off the chore list? I wanted just to
(33:44):
desire me And man, when you start telling your spouse
like I need this, then you go on the chorre list.
I need to go to target. I need to make
sure these two kids have their stuff. They need their
snacks for school tomorrow. I need this, I need to
my husband needs sex. I'll put that. It's a different
thing when it's like, hey, I want you, and that's
a different level of vulnerability, and it's like did I
(34:05):
want you to and I have these things, It's like,
well do I'll do the dishes? My gosh? Right, if
that's what's standing between us, and so it's being able
to say here's what I want, I want you to
help around the house more. I want you to open
your eyes and see that I work a full time
job too, and then I have a full time job
taking care of the kids at home. I want you
to help, And that's a different level of I want
(34:26):
to be able to tell you I think you look
really good in these shorts and that shirt, and have
you not throw up a grown man timper.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Tantrum immediately nobody else thought about you, who's just twenty
four to seven flooding the zone. Back to my thirteen
year old owning this space every day, getting a convert
and then I'm thinking about we're going to stand back
(34:54):
and watch you.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Run circles around us.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
He said it best at Turning Point, USA, where we're
lent us. We're changing minds on campuses every semester, defending
conservative values and fighting for America's future. Your donation helps
keep us on campus. Join the movement and donate to
TPUSA today.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I just don't think it's so funny that Gavit is
like the face.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Of this commercial, because he's also right in this particular instance.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
He's right.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Dirty Point USA and Charlie are doing the best job
of anybody in the Conservative movement.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
In my humble opinion, you go.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
To TPUSA dot com to find out about information regarding
anything we're doing. The all the fantastic events. Why do
you less that started tonight is happening right now as
we speak, Which if you're you know, not a woman,
it doesn't matter to you because you couldn't have gone anyway.
You can't go to the Student Action Summit that's happening
in Tampa next month in conjunction with the Turning Point
(35:48):
Academies Educator Summit. So much going on TPUSA dot com.
Don't miss out on any of the fantastic and fun things.
I was talking to someone over the weekend who lives
in an area that the Turning Point American Comeback Tour
went to, and I said, yeah, you're just in your neck.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Of the woods.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Just oh, dang it, I wish I would have known.
You know, hey, you gotta go to TPSA dot com
to find out all of all of the events stops
everything the Turning Point is doing, Like I said, the
best in the conservative movement. In my humble opinion, you
can also email the show anytime you want. Tpt at
TPUSA dot com. Love reading every single one of your emails.
And you know the reason I think we don't read
(36:26):
as many emails live on the shows. They're all complimentary,
and I really appreciate all of you who send the
complimentary emails. Let me get some arguments in here. I
love people emailing. I always say you can email. Whether
you agree or whether you're wrong doesn't really matter. But
you know, there's a lot of people aren't. Just aren't
wrong and don't I don't know, we don't. We don't
get in as much of butting heads, which I don't
(36:48):
necessarily want.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
To butt heads with people, but it is engaging. It's
good to.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Engage the other side of the ideological aisle. That being said,
it's Friday. Let's have some fun. Speaking of immigration, I
just I if you do what people here are doing
in any other country around the world, including some super
third worldly countries. By the way, this isn't that particular case,
(37:13):
you will get deported. That's it's it's you just will.
And I saw this clip on Instagram and I needed
to share it with you. This is a young woman,
a United States citizen, getting her butt booted out of Mexico.
Speaker 11 (37:29):
Watch this, well, this is what happens when you get
caught in Mexico. How did they even find me in
the first place. I was coming back from a concert
in a bus let's stop at a toll booth. Some
guy came in asking for I showed him my californiaity,
but I didn't have my past. Next thing I knew,
I was in a vat. I got to the immigration office.
They patted me down, took away all my belonging. They
looked me up, and they saw that we were stayed
by one hundred and eighty day tourist. He said, Long
(37:50):
story short, They didn't let me leave the immigration office
until I bought my ticket to go back to the USA,
which is crazy because I already have my dual citizenship
in process, but it's not complete. It could be why
it didn't show in the closest fly I could get.
Had multiple stop before I went to La I stopped
at Mont Day. I thought it was gonna be a
smooth process going back to the United States, but then
this happened. I didn't get my little paper sent that
(38:11):
they give you when you enter the country, so I
ended up missing my flight, and anyone that overstays there
one hundred and eighty day you have to pay a
fee of seven hundred and seventeen vessel, which is thirty
five dollars. Since I'm being kicked out of the country,
I didn't have to pay it anyways. They got me
another multiple stop fly. It took me two more flights
before I got back to the United States. Ah Yes,
and once I saw the Edgar Kutz and the La Outfo,
I landed back to the mother.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Those racist, bigoted xenophobes. I can't believe that that there's
so much hate there. You know what we're gonna do.
You can send an email to TPT at tpusa dot com.
Get yourself on the list. We're gonna go down there.
We're gonna wave American flags and say we deserve to
be here, because that's that's what we'll do it.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
As you.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
I can't believe again the racism going on in Mexico.
Kicking somebody out of their country.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
That's all it is. It has to be racism. It
can't be you know, functioning laws and a society that
you know has to have law enforcement at the border,
and that's that's not what it is. It's it's racism again.
You can email TPT at TPUSA dot com. You want
to get on that list to go down there and
protest those bigots, those xenophobes down in Mexico for enforcing
(39:24):
their federal immigration law. Or you can look at it
like a rational and sane individual, or go, yeah, that's
what happens. You come into somewhere illegally, you're gonna get
kicked out. Try you know what, try this, Go into
your neighbor's backyard and when he says, hey, what are
you doing in my backyard? By the way, hopefully you
don't get shot by breaking into your neighbor's backyard.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
But when he says, hey, what are you doing in
my backyard?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Say no, I deserve to be here, I live here,
wave the flag to your house, and then tell him
he's rude and racist. Probably if he tells you to
go back to your yard. I wonder what would happen
if that were the case. Don't actually try that, by
the way, that's not don't actually do that. You may
end up with some holes in your torso, uh, not
(40:10):
a good idea. But anyways, that's Friday. It's fun, we're
having it. We're having a good time. But that's gonna
do it for us here at turning point tonight. For
tonight and.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
For the week.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Hey have a great weekend. Take take some time away
from what's going on in the news. There's a lot
going on in the news. We didn't even touch on
the Iran situation. But uh, have a good weekend. Spend
it with some some people you love, some family, and
we will see you on Monday, where I think we're
gonna be Aaron Charlie Kirk's speech from YWLS as Long
along with his wife Erica, don't go away. Sorry, We'll
(40:39):
see you Monday. God bless America.
Speaker 7 (40:56):
We saw this happening in real time yesterday, the news
heard around the world. We were live streaming last night.
And it's important in times like this, in situations that
involved war and kinetic conflict, to report the facts and
to stay calm, collected, with a lot of precision, not
to get too excited, not to get involved in hyperbole,
(41:19):
or measure be very measured in your reporting. In fact,
I believe you, the audience, that's why you keep on
tuning in right now. We are the number one conservative
podcast in Apple News because we did a late night
stream all about the Israeli strikes on Iran. And you
can count that this program will have a pro civilization,
pro American view on all these things. And we're gonna
(41:42):
tell it like it is. We're gonna report all the
facts of exactly what has happened.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
So what occurred, Well.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
So Israel hit over one hundred targets against Iran, and
as I am talking right now, it's continuing. The bombing
campaign is continuing. Here is what is so remarkable is
that Israel was involved in a little bit of a
deception campaign, totally legitimate. There's nothing wrong with deceiving your enemy.
Israel said, oh, now, who's gonna go to a wedding
(42:09):
and we're going to try to you know, try to
slow walk, and we might go to DC and you know,
have some talks and some diplomacy. And amazingly Iran let
its guard down. Israel was able to infiltrate the inner
circle of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They were able to
(42:31):
infiltrate the top levels of the IRGC. And we're gonna
learn a lot more of what happened in the days
and weeks of exactly what has happened. But this was
not merely just a bombing attack against Iran's nuclear facilities.
It was a decapitation strike against the entire Iranian military.
(42:52):
They took out Mohmmad Bagari, the chief of the Iranian
Chief of Staff General Staff, the head of their military.
That is like the equivalent of taking out JD. Vance
and Susie Wiles. They took out Hassain Hossein Salami, the
commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. They also hit the following targets.
(43:13):
The capitol in Tehran, knots where Iran enrinch'es uranium Tabrice,
where explosions have been reported, near a nuclear research center
and two military bases a Kurmasha. I'm butchering these pronunciations,
but whatever west of Tehran, where an underground facility storing
ballistic missiles was hit near the Iraqi border, plus other
(43:34):
major cities like Isafahan and Iraq a Roq Aarak well,
not a rock yet the country. Iran's air defenses appeared
to have been totally compromised, offering no resistance at all
to Israeli air strikes and to the knowledge that we
have right now and again this could change at any moment.
(43:55):
It looks as if not a single Israeli aircraft has
been shot down again that much it's the fog of war,
so we do not know yet. But we don't have
any reports of any Israeli aircraft that has yet been
taken down. Israel was apparently able to execute execute some
(44:15):
stunning infiltrations, such as smuggling explosive explosives directly into Iran
it advance of the strike. Regardless of your opinion of Israel,
even if you hate Israel to your core, you have
to have remarkable respect for Massad and their military for
(44:36):
what they were able to pull off. Here understand that
Iran knew this was coming, and without getting into too
many details, we knew this was coming. In fact, I
was talking to Blake and Andrew and I'm like, guys,
unless my sources are totally wrong, in about two hours,
Iran is about to get lit up like a Christmas tree.
(44:58):
So I knew it was coming. A lot of other
reporters I was talking to knew it was coming, and
Iran still was infiltrated. Because it seems as if that
Israel was able to infiltrate at such the highest levels
of the Iranian government. They use the looming attack as
a way to gather all of these senior Iranian officials
(45:19):
together to then strike them. Remember, we moved out all
diplomatic and non essential staff. This was somewhat of a
deception surprise attack, but this was the longest wind up here.
It comes here, it comes here, it comes, and it
does beg the question is Iran a paper tiger? And
(45:41):
we'll explore that later, which is, wait, we're I understand
that the intel shows that they were close to a
nuclear weapon, but there's a little bit of a contradiction
here of if they really don't have any air defense
systems and they're this foolish and kind of a third
world country, it really makes you wonder, like how sophisticated
(46:01):
a threat this actually is. However, it's happening, and Israel
is a sovereign country and they made and you have
to just say this, they made an incredibly balsy move
with a lot of hutzpa. Took a lot of hutzba
for them to do this, and we're going to find
out in the next couple days and weeks and months
the ramifications of that, especially from a pro American standpoint,
(46:23):
which I want to get into. But they also killed
some of the nuclear scientists. That's five point sixty four good.
Speaker 9 (46:29):
You know.
Speaker 7 (46:29):
By the way, if you want to just have entertainment,
watch this show of me trying to pronounce these ridiculous
Persian names. Fara dune Abbasi.
Speaker 9 (46:37):
I think I got that one.
Speaker 7 (46:39):
Mohammad Meddi Tarajanani, the physicist and president of the Islamic
Azad University in Tehran. The Israeli operation was not just airstrikes.
The Israeli Masad Intelligence Service has operatives on the ground
conducting covert sabotage operations on missile and air defense sites
and it's ongoing. Israel right now has comp fleet command
(47:01):
over the air of a run. No one really could
have anticipated that. No one could have predicted it, and
this is why no planes have been shot down. And
bibing at Yahoo and the Israeli government, they're basically having
an all you can eat buffet in Iran. These They've
had these targets basically in their tickler file for quite
some time. They've had these targets like, hey, here, they
(47:23):
are all over Iran for quite some time, and they're like,
why are we going to stop now?
Speaker 2 (47:28):
We're just gonna keep on going.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
They have all they this is a dream for Israel
in the sense where they, for quite some time would
would love to have been able just to fly over
Iranian airspace with no opposition whatsoever. Five point sixty two,
which I think is a very important picture. Yes, some
residential buildings were struck, but that's some pretty remarkable precision.
(47:50):
This visual is something, and on podcasting and radio you
just have to take pause and be like, that's as
good and as sophisticated as a military that I think
you'll ever see.
