Speaker 1 (00:00):
The boys are boys from the beginning, girls are girls
right from the start. Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine, your buddy's fancy.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
And so is fun.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Because sometimes children think that they might change, they might
have to change after awhile, and you know we laugh
about that now, but it's because we had that concern
when we were little.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, because you're really not sure. You thought maybe you'd
become a girl or the girl would become a boy,
right exactly happens frequently out here.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Sometimes, so if you're not old enough, you might not
recognize the voices. But that was Fred Rogers, mister Rogers
on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show, not exactly
sure what their conversation was about. There, boys becoming girls,
girls becoming boys, and then Johnny Carson making a joke
that you wouldn't make now.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I think Fred Rogers was just trying to express that
kids are they're unsure of the whole gender, the sex thing.
What sex am I? How do I become a man?
What's a man? What's a woman? The kids are confused
about that because they can't conceive of it like an
adult can. And so the kids shouldn't worry about it,
which is fabulous wisdom. So we go from the simple,

(01:15):
gentle wisdom of mister Rogers to this person who is
a public school teacher.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
One of the things I think our transforming school does
really well is our senior transition plans. We work with
our seniors to give them resources access to medical care,
especially once they're eighteen, if they would like to go
into medical transition, as well as clothing and gender support
plans that they can bring to their employers or new
school so that they can continue their transition smoothly.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think it's really cool.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
We should do this at more schools. Huge shout out
to pack Animal out of Canada. They have provided our
school district with over three thousand dollars worth of binders
so that our students are able to come as they
are to school and be their most authentic self. It's
pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
And binders are the things that hold your breast in schestbinders.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, so a woman who a young girl who's afraid
of puberty can suppress her breast and that's really cool.
That's really awesome. So they can come as they are.
Wait a minute, that's the opposite of come as they
are and be their authentic selves. No, it's their altered selves.
You are telling children the opposite of you are beautiful

(02:25):
the way you are, you do you. Your message is get
experimental medical treatments and powerful hormones and drugs. Otherwise you're
not okay. People are sick. In other gender bending news,
bud Light is desperate to regain their market share, and
their new marketing campaigns will not be designed by that

(02:47):
fabulous gallo did the Dylan mulvainy thing. But the brand
new easy to Summer campaign about easy to drink bud
Light will feed sure various NFL stars including Travis Kelce,
George Kittle, and Dak Prescott, and also revive a number
of the ed campaigns of the past, like the bud Night.

(03:10):
Since its inception, the bud Night has shown up to
remind fans that the best moments are made better when
celebrated with bud Light. Well, they're scrambling, I wish them well.
Trans Cyclist Austin Killops said, Indeed, far from transgender women,
it's dudes. Far from dudes competing in women's sports being

(03:34):
a problem. Men are actually underrepresented in women's sports. Holy cow,
that's an interesting sentence. Men are underrepresented in women's sports.
That's corrected.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's correct, just in the same way that kats are
underrepresented in dog shows.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes, I would agree with that as well. Spoke out
Sunday in a very soft article published by the Knoxville
News Sentinel in which he lamented the political climate he's
forced to navigate. He insists that accusations made by detractors
of transathletes are not legitimate positions to take, and I quote,
listen to this logic. It's certainly concerning that the nature

(04:18):
of the discourse, the amount of energy that has gone
into building this narrative, would lead you to believe that
there's this massive number of transathletes participating in sports and
winning all the time, when the reality is that we're
statistically underrepresented by the numbers. Some of us do well,
a lot of us do fine. Some are just normal competitors.
If the rules say trans people can play, then it

(04:39):
doesn't mean that we can't win. So he's trying to
say men should be allowed to compete, and naturally they're
going to win some of the time, so don't worry
about it.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Combine with because they don't always win, what's the big deal?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Right? Exactly. Yeah, Well, the problem is that the.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Guy that competes in the girls' sports and finishes tenth
just pushed out the girl that would have finished tenth,
which matters to that person.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yes, it does. They've been working their whole life for it.
Killops has become a focused criticism after winning two recent
titles in the women's category. In one race, he overmatched
his female competitors so much that he won the race
by whopping five minutes, which is unprecedented.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
This gets to the David Hume quote. We were talking
about last hour when we were see Last Hour. This
hour we're going to talk about how to poop correctly.
Last hour were you're talking about the Enlightenment. Boy, it
depends what hour you tune in, doesn't it, Dwight County.
But box of Chocolate's right, But we're talking about the
David Hume quote of passions are the ruler of your intellect,

(05:51):
basically of your reason. That's gotta be happening with these
transathletes who dominate, right, isn't your overriding the fact that
you should feel a little guilty when you're standing up
on the golden medal stand towering over your female competitors.

(06:12):
You're like fifty pounds heavy, you're in a foot taller,
and you don't feel a little weird about that. I
think your passion is overpowering your reason.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think you have mental problems. I'll phrase it like that. Yeah,
a couple more quick stories. This is a bit of
a setback, but just a temporary one. And Arkansas federal
judge is blocked the first ban on gender affirming care.
A horrific phrase. It's been adopted in too many places.

(06:42):
Federal judge struck down that law banding banning experimental sex
change procedures for kids forbidding the enforcement of the nation's
first law blocking those horrible, experimental and damaging treatments. US
District Judge James Moody of the Eastern District, if Arkansas
ruled the law on country Tuesday, we shall see. I'm
glad to see it's working this way through the courts.

(07:04):
He's wrong. One more. A University of Wyoming sorority and
the university has hit back against seven sorority members who
said I'm uncomfortable with dudes being in our sorority and
living here. They sued their sorority and the sorority itself
in the university are fighting back against the women who

(07:27):
said this is a woman's face. Where are you feminists?
Where are you women? Unbelievable how this radical ideology has
taken hold of university. Try that ten years ago. I'm

(07:48):
a dude, I'm going to live in a sorority, and
you're going to put up with it. You'd have been
thrown out on your ear, you'd have been run off
campus on a rail. And now the university itself in
the sorority is saying, oh, that's just fine.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Maybe after they laughed and then thought are you serious?
They thought you're just trying to be funny, right, Yeah,
every guy would like to live here. Hilarious, No, you're serious.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And then, finally, the Biden administration has backed down from
trying to force Catholic health care providers to enter the
gender transition business sex change. The Justice Department this week
let the deadline pass to file an appeal before the
Supreme Court in Sisters of Mercy versus Bissera, marking the
second time the administration has declined to defend the Affordable

(08:32):
Care Acts transgender mandate. The practical effect Catholic medical professionals
and organizations in the church's extensive US healthcare network will
not be required to perform gender transition surgeries. Sex change
surgeries provide medical insurance coverage for their employees to undergo
such procedures, so that's good. Here's the practical political reason

(08:54):
for this. Vast majorities of Americans, including Democrats, think this
stuff is sick and it's twisted and it's off base.
The activists are into it, but normal people, especially black folks,
not so much so. The Biden administration is retreated on that,
and that's a good thing.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
