Speaker 1 (00:00):
Minneapolis versus Tehran. It's a tale of two cities today.
And are did they really just say that? Audio clips?
I'm Nancy Shack, this is Newspiite.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I tell the Iranian leaders you better not start shooting
because we'll start shooting too.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
They are using military equipment, from armored tanks to AK
forty seven to shoots demonstrator to death.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Cook.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm gonna safe dist You feel safe your new jobma?

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Minnesota or Iran? Where do you think the real freedom
fighters are?

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Say for to be a protester in Minneapolis? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That that cut you just heard was we're going At
the end there were federal ice agents. They were arresting
a protester in Minneapolis where they were throwing frozen water
bottles which basically turned into bricks little missiles at federal agents.
And I want you to listen to how tough these

(01:17):
protesters are. Cut twenty six.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
Let's see back you.

Speaker 7 (01:25):
Wor'd you for breakfast?

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Couldn't have been couldn't have been taking right that the cannibals.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Cut back up a safe disting?

Speaker 6 (01:37):
Do you feel safe?

Speaker 4 (01:39):
New job?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Tough guys?

Speaker 6 (01:42):
Aren't they?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know? These are leftists who basically became unhinged after
a mother of two, Renee Good, who joined an online
how to be a protester group basically and was trained
on how to annoy federal officers who were in the

(02:05):
process of doing their job, and was taught to use
her car as essentially a weapon. And she apparently had
too much time on her hands and she wanted to
basically virtue signal by making life difficult for federal officers

(02:28):
trying to carry out lawful arrests, and she was told
to use her car, so she drove to an arrest
site that had been docked online, and she drove with
her partner while her kids were at school, and she
was having a high old time antagonizing like you know,
a mosquito or fly these federal law enforcement officers who

(02:50):
were trying to arrest illegal aliens for deportation. And before
what happened, the horrible, tragic ending of that that outing
went down, she's having a high old time, you know,
playing protester, and she's sitting in her car beating out time,
beating out a song with her car horn. The car

(03:11):
horn you hear is Renee Good before she was eventually
shot and killed cut thirty a and she's jamming. You

(03:31):
can see her and there you can see her in
the video. She's jamming back and forth. She's having a
great time playing protester. This is like, oh my god,
she's never had so much fun. And meanwhile, her partner
was there with her, and her partner is egging her on,
and she tries to there's a federal agent in front
of her car, and her partner tells her drive, baby, drive.

(03:54):
So she hits the gas with a federal agent standing
in front of her car, and then you will be
able to hear what happened next cut thirty.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
That's fine, I'm.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Not I'm not.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
OK.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
We don't change our plates every morning, just so you
know it'll be the same plate when you come talk
to us later.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
You have citizen, you want to come at us, You
want to.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Come at us.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
I say, go get yourself some lunch, big boy, go ahead,
no car, Let out of the car.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
So what you hear there is the partner going, hey,
big boy, go for lunch, egging on her, her partner
in the car, who's having a great time. And then
when the agent says get out of this, one agent
saying get out of the car. There's another agent that's
to the side in front of her car. She hits
the gas. You hear him go oh is the car

(04:59):
is him? And he responds by shooting his gun. You know,
he's just trying to stop the car because this agent
was actually hit a few months ago by another protester
with the car and was hospitalized with some pretty serious injuries.
So he's been to this rodeo before. He knows what's
going to happen if he doesn't stop this car. And

(05:20):
he stops the car and you hear the gun shots
go off, and then you hear her car because she
is unconscious, drive right into the tree. You hear crash
into the tree.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
When they did this training, this there's how to be
a protester training. Did they skip the part about how
not to get killed while protesting?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, don't go. You know you got little kids at home,
don't go. This is this is virtue signaling at its worst.
This is Trump derangement syndrome at its worst. And progressive
Democrats are responsible for amping up these people to basically this.
In particular, this woman Renee Good into a ludicrous sense

(06:00):
of vulnerability and basically puts her in harm's way because
she doesn't have the sense that God gave a goose.
She's out there thinking that she's like she's like one
of the revolutionaries in the American Revolution. She's been told
that this is a way of showing how patriotic you are,
a way of showing that you're you're morally superior to

(06:22):
those people who are trying to do their job or
the people who disagree with her. And so she's put
herself in harm's way. And then so you have these
these progressives who amp them up, who train them to
use cars, and trying to go against lawful you know,
enforcement officers. Look, these are officers, and that by the way,
I really think that the partner there who amped her

(06:44):
up could actually be charged with interfering with the lawful arrest,
because that's what she did. They're both guilty of that,
but one of them is gone and can't be arrested anymore.
But these progressive democrats who do this, who make people
feel that this is the right thing to do, I
think they are an extreme level of responsibility for the
death of Renee Good. And I think they have to

(07:07):
know that too, because the first thing they did that
before they even her body was even cold. These progressives
try to shift the blame back over to the law
officers who were doing their job. Here's an example of that.
This is Congress from when elon Omar and CBS saying
that the ICE agent that shot Renee Good should have

(07:31):
known better than to get in front of a moving
car cut eighteen.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, Renee Nicole Good, as you hear her say, she's
not mad. She's sitting in her car peacefully waving cars
to get by. This agent, as you see, gets out
of his car, automatically starts running towards her, trying to
open her door. She feels scared, she tries to turn

(07:56):
the wheel away, and then you see the other officer,
who can clearly see the car is moving, move towards
the front of the car, which, if they are saying
that he has ten years on service and is trained,
he should know that you shouldn't be trying to get
in front of a moving car. And so it is

(08:17):
not acceptable for christineng and the president and the vice
president to make these kind of judgments without there being
a full investigation.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'm pretty sure having seen the videos, I mean multiple
videos have every different angle. First of all, how acceptable
is it when a law enforcement officer with a badge
and a weapon comes, he says get out of your car,
which you can hear him on that cut saying get
out of your car. Instead tries to flee the scene.
That in itself is a crime. Never mind the fact

(08:50):
that there was an agent standing in the front of
her car and she accelerated into him. You can hear
the car hit him and his response trying to stop
the car from moving. So Jim on Omar is one
of these progressive leftists who completely bears responsibility for what
happened to Renee Good and is trying to deflect at
that point in time. Then we have the mayor of Minneapolis,

(09:14):
Mayor Jacob Fry cut twenty two.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
Yeah, that seems the way you put it, it's pretty
grim what you just said, and I think to repeat
for everybody. Donald Trump said that Renee ran the Ice
agent over. Don't take my word for it, don't take
their word for it. Watch the video from every single angle.

(09:39):
I mean, the Ice agent walked away.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
With a hip.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
Injury that he might as well have gotten from closing
a refrigerator door with his hips.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
He was not injured.

Speaker 8 (09:52):
I've seen worse injuries from doing that, and so give
me a break. No, he was not ran over. He
walked out of there with a hop in his step.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
He didn't have a hop in his step. First of all,
I have seen the videos. She did hit him, But
you know why she shouldn't run over him, because he
shot her. If he hadn't shot her, my guess is
she would have run right over him. And he has
been hit before. He knows what, he knows what's coming
if he doesn't stop that car, he knows he's going
to be hospitalized. He had he had like thirty two

(10:25):
stitches last time he was run over by a car.
So you know, Jacob Frye is another one of these
people who bears responsible, responsible, responsibility for what Renee Good did.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Well, here's the well, here's also how I look at it,
and I agree with what you just said. However, all
of this, of course, what fry is saying, and what
ilian Omar has saying, and what all these other people
are saying, is after Renee Good is dead. Now stay
with me for a second here. So not only do
all these unhinged people bear responsibility for Renee Good's death,

(10:59):
they also so will bear responsibility for everybody who comes
after this, because you're now saying you're telling people now
not look, not everybody is a complete nutterer moron. A
lot of people are, but not everybody. So, but you
are saying, in essence, to all of these people who
are anti ice, anti this, anti government, anti whatever, hey,

(11:20):
don't worry. Do whatever you want because we won't blame
you for whatever happens at the next protest. So it's
it's going to set some people up to be like, yeah,
well I can run over a nice changing, or I
can do this, or I can sit in the middle
of the road and honk my horn and yell at
them and do this and blah and not listen to
their commands. That's what you're telling people. So renee good,
she's dead, she's over and done with rest in peace whatever.

(11:44):
But the reality is these people came out after the
incident and started saying, well, it's not her fault and
blah blah blah yah. Yeah, they're just setting the table
for any nitwit who wants to come out and be
a nit wit to be a nitwit and feel like
they will not be any responsibility for said nit wit actions.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I completely agree with you. And it's even worse than
making people believe they're not responsible for their actions. Most
of these legislators and these people, these progressives, they lie,
They lie about the law. They trick people like Renee Good,
these soccer moms that are out there that are into

(12:26):
thinking that they're fighting to suppress fascism. That's what they do.
And I'm going to give you a real example of
the lies that they tell that fool people. This is
a Democrat, Minnesota State Rep. Sandra Feist, and she's talking
to Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino on illegal immigration. First
of all, she starts her question by swearing at him,

(12:48):
and he's like, you're a state legislator, what the hell's
wrong with you with a potty mouth? And then she misrepresents,
She lies about what the law is, and he's like, no,
the law is this. But this is what they do.
And so people like Rene Good only hear the question,
they never hear the answer. So they assume that people
like uh, Sandra Feist are in fact telling them the

(13:11):
truth when they're lying through their teeth. Cut twenty one.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah for you, of course, like the state representative, stare
with your beards teaching that or where'd you learn Kyle
lin Ju.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
That's a simple question. I'm asking you simple question there.

Speaker 9 (13:31):
Yeah, you know, uh, it's very interesting when we make
our community sacred their residence.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Thanks, but you don't know that as the representative.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Not Why are you not arrested as criminals?

Speaker 10 (13:50):
Why are so few of the people that you have
arrested the routine and reported people with criminal records.

Speaker 9 (13:56):
They're all from They've ast the border illegally.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
No.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Eighteen USC.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
Thirteen twenty five illegal entry. That's a federal crime.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yes, it is a federal crime, but it's not illegal.
It's the sibils like getting a parking ticket. And that's
not true, but people like renee Good think that it
is true. People like Renee Good think that they're on
the side of the angels and that they've been told
that fighting law enforcement, putting themselves in these difficult situations

(14:27):
is the right thing to do, is the moral thing
to do. Is the thing you do to protect your
country and save your children's future. That's what she's been
told to do without the consult. By the way, be
careful because they're actually law enforcement officials. They're armed, and
they have the law on their side, and what you're
doing is illegal and putting yourself in harm way. They
don't say the second part of that. So people like
Renee Good who don't have any common sense, are believing

(14:51):
people who are in power because they can't imagine that
these people would lie to them. They have no trouble
believing that Donald Trump would lie to them, but they
can't believe the Democrat will. And look what happened to her.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
By the way, no better way to start your argument
as a regular person or as a Minnesota state representative
as Sandra Feist, is by swearing nothing better than dropping
dropping some F bombs just before at least you know,
at least make your point. Then drop your F bombs,
because once you drop the F bomb, you're going to
completely lose me with any credibility for yourself and especially

(15:22):
as a state rep. And this is where we're going,
which is really sad. Beyond sad.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, I agree with you, it is sad. But in
all of this, who I feel the worse for are
Renee Goods children who now don't have a mother. I
feel horrific for Renee Good because she's lost her life
and her future with her family and you know, I
don't think Renee Good was a bad person. I think
Renee Good was somebody who was taken advantage of by

(15:49):
people who wanted to use her for political purposes. And
that's what happened.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Without knowing who she was. Of course, this was a
you know what they say, they don't care if it's
you or are they Good or Marian Smith.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
She was chattled to them, and that's what happened. Even
President Trump says that Renee Good was probably a decent person.
Cut six a the.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Death of Renee Nicole Good.

Speaker 9 (16:08):
I've been speaking to her father, who is a big supporter.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Of yours Good like many Americans are.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
But he's heartbroken right now.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
I can't understand it that he's heartbroken because his daughter is dad,
that's obvious.

Speaker 8 (16:18):
He's also heartbroken because your administration so quickly has come
out and said she's a domestic terrorist.

Speaker 7 (16:24):
What do you want to say to her father right now?

Speaker 11 (16:27):
Well, I want to say to the father that I
love all of our people.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
They can be on the other side.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
As you say, he might be on my side, he
is on your side.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
And I think that's great, and I do.

Speaker 11 (16:35):
I think it's great, and I would bet you that she,
under normal circumstances was a very solid, wonderful person. But
then her actions was pretty tough.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean, I've seen it many ways and many.

Speaker 11 (16:48):
Different shapes and forms, but the bottom line is, Look,
we have hundreds of thousands of murderers in our countries.
Killers ICE is trying to get them out. They were
let in through an open border policy of leapy Joe Biden.
Ice is working very hard to get them out. Their
job is being made very very difficult.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
So I think Renee Good and her partner who sounds
like such a jackass, and that before her, before her
wife was killed, basically it was I have been, uh,
have been tricked into believing there's some kind of freedom
fighter that and that's and that that's why they're doing
these ridiculous things that they're doing. But you know, how

(17:27):
bizarre is that that that that they think that this
is their moment, like their Ukrainian moment, We're going to
stand up to Putin and the tank. I mean, that's
what they.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
Think that they used. As you mentioned. Yeah, by the way,
and she might have very well been a great person.
I didn't know her, so obviously I'm just going to
go on that, and the President said it. So she
was a fine American doing her thing, going about her life,
raising her kids, and she got caught up in this
nonsensical bullshit. But so here here's the thing. Whenever, and

(18:00):
I'm not gonna mention a names because I don't want
to get somebody really fired up, but you know, whenever
somebody kills somebody or or is arrested for a child
molestation or some heinous crime, there's always the neighbor, the mother,
the sister, the brother, the cousin. They were really nice person. Listen,
you can be a nice person, but somehow go over
the edge and you're always, of course, remembered for your

(18:23):
worst act, not necessarily your best act. And in this case,
she didn't murder anybody. She tried to run over an
ice agent, but she wasn't doing heinous stuff. She was
just doing dumb enough stuff to put herself in harm's way.
And here's the thing, too, am do you think I'm
a nice person? Yeah, okay, and I think I am.
If tomorrow I murder twelve people, I believe you would

(18:44):
change your mind. I think I went and the way
the world would see me is in that worst act listen.
Most of the world sees Renee Good in her worst
moment as the worst person she was. And sure, I'm
sure she was a fine person, lots of friends, maybe
even put money the kettle at Christmas, whatever the case
may be. But yeah, so, but you can't listen. You

(19:05):
don't get to be a good person and then be
an a hole for an entire day or more. I
don't know how many times she went out and have
people say, no, no, she's she's a really nice person,
and she Look, you committed a crime that was, at
least on the surface, appeared to be a terrorist act.
Therefore you're a domestic terrorist, no matter how nice a
person and good of a mother you are or were.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, no, I don't disagree with that. I think one
of her big one of her big downfalls, and her
partners too, to be honest with you, is arrogance. I
think they were both arrogant enough to believe that they were,
that they were in the trenches, that they're from their
little suburban Minnesota home. We're fighting the good fight, Like
the Ukrainians tossing molotov cocktails against Putin in the first

(19:50):
weeks of the Ukrainian War, but I want to compare them,
these idiots, these useful idiots in Minnesota, and compare them
to Iran and what's happening in Tehran, because that is
really a fight for freedom against fascism and a dictatorship.

(20:10):
And that is where you see what a real fascist
law enforcement and military does to protesters. This is the
around Crown Prince raised Pavlavi. He was on CBS. He's
describing what's going on in Tehran right now. Cut number nine.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Well, it's a war between a regime against its own citizenry.
The country is in full revolt, and unlike preceding uprising
that Iran has witness in recent years, this time people
are on the streets to put a final end to
this regime. They demand a change of regime. They want
to take this regime down. They are bravely confronting, unarmed,

(20:49):
a regime that has used brutality in complete darkness that
was imposed by cutting off communication.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, and then he goes into they're actually using tanks
and AK forty sevens against those protesters. Cut nine A.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
They are using military equipment from armored tanks to AK
forty seven to shoot demonstrator to death. It's a massacre
that the regime is as a last gas effort, trying
to use to intimidate people because of being very thin
in their troops, as a last gasp effort. But Iranians

(21:27):
are resilience despite what the regime.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
Is trying to do.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
However, the most obvious question is are we alone in
this fight or with this time the world respond to
this brutality and come to their help and the system
to make sure that this time they will win and
this regime, which is on the version of collapse, will
finally concede and this atrocity.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, and it's not just the fact that they're mowing
them down, actually killing you know, hundreds of people who
are protesting. You also have the fact that they've killed
all communication with the outside world to isolate them cut
number let's say number ten.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Some people have limited access via starlink. The regime is
using military jamming to also try to disturb starting from
operating in Iran. Further than that, the regime is now
basically walking into people from trying to confiscate even their
satellite dishes. They're trying to do anything possible to cut

(22:26):
off our computers from the outside world. So this is
really what we are faced with in terms of challenge. Nevertheless,
the people are resilients.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
That sounds an awful lot like what happens to protesters
in America.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
This is what I'm saying. So in here you have
people actually fighting for their lives getting murdered for standing up.
And compare that to Minneapolis, where they're fighting to save
rapists from being deported, which is a legal operation. Nobody's
doing anything illegal. The police are following warrants, picking people
up and taking them away. And by the way, yes,
crossing into the country illegally is a federal crime. Are

(23:00):
all criminals. That's what's happening.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
And I have no problem with the the run of
the mill protesters in America. But you're right, I mean,
look at whatever you're protesting, and it could be ice,
it could be just the fact that they're.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Don't pretend you're a freedom fighter. You're not. You're a protester.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Schools, your kid got cut from the baseball you're protesting, Fine,
go do it, but yes, do not compare yourself to
people who are trying to actually win their freedom and
get rid of an oppressive regime.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
And who are dying for their and who are dying
to do that. They're literally I don't mean they want
to do it, they are literally bleeding to death in
the streets for doing it.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
By the way, this is not the first time Oran's
had stuff like this happened. And I have a quick question,
and this is off not off topics, it's on topic,
but not immediately. So back in the late late seventies,
of course, said well, remembered in the hostage crisis and
everything else that eventually in a way, right, yeah, so
you've got all that going on. Reagan becomes president, the

(23:56):
hostage to release, blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, so
everything's hunky dory ish. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
it gets What I'm saying, is it gets better in
Iran as time goes on. Better doesn't Well it did, No,
it didn't. They did become westernized for a while.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
They they never became westernized because COMMANI, it didn't. My
dad represented the government of Iran. It never got better.
It actually went from from the Shah, who was no prince,
no prize. He had you know, he had secret police
of his own that were doing things. But it didn't
get better it went write into an extreme Muslim society

(24:32):
from that, and it I mean for women in particular,
it got worse immediately.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Well, they've always been anti war, No, they weren't.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Under the Shaw they weren't. And under and under the
succeeding revolution it did get worse, and it has been worse.
The difference is that we now have twenty four hour
communications all the time with everybody having cell phones, so
you can see what's happening. And that's part of what's
been happening in the past, you know, decade or so.
It never got better.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
For people they years ago. Let me reset the question.
Then here's the deal. So we have this big uprising
right in Iran forty years ago, fifty almost fifty years
ago now neck right forty five, so, and people are
pissed one way or the other. And there's always people
pissed on both sides of the equation. I get it.
So and yet and yet now, as you say, because

(25:20):
I used to see things on the news saying, you know,
they'd interview somebody and they're like, well that's better now
than it was when thought. But anyway, I digress. But
so what fifty years for God's sakes, and we're still
fighting these battles. I mean, you almost feel like you
should be done with this by now.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Well, it's the same thing that happened in Russia basically
had a You had a communist power come in after
the fall of the Shot, after fall the Emperor, and
then they gave it a shot. But it was even worse,
more draconian than what was happening under the Shot under
the Emperor. So then communism fell, the subject union fell
because of its own weight. That's what's happening now. In Iran.

(25:59):
You had a a royal house in charge, some of
which was good, some of which was bad. So you
had enough of a push from the Islamic extremists in
Iran to take over that was homemany and in the Iatolas,
and so they gave it their shot, but again their
own way has brought them down. So it's a cycle

(26:19):
that we see repeated over and over again in history.
But we're getting we are getting far afield because the
point that I wanted to bring up here is that
in this particular case, I wanted to show besides the
hypocrisy of these of snowflakes in Minneapolis who think they're
freedom fighters compared to the people who are actually dying
in Iran as freedom fighters. The other thing is in

(26:42):
here in our own country, where you can say what
you want, and unless you try to run an officer
over with a car, you are not going to be
injured for exercising your freedom of speech. And you hate
and if you're on the progressive, all of a sudden,
you hate Donald Trump because I guess you have too
many freedoms. He has to be blamed for something, so
you hate him. But in Iran, where they're actually dying

(27:04):
to get their freedoms back, they revere Donald Trump at
this point, and Donald Trump is laid down a gauntlet.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Cut number six, and I tell the Iranian leaders you
better not start shooting, because we'll start shooting too.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
And they have started shooting. And so now the people
of Iran are saying, can you come help us? Donald
Trump Cut twelve A.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I think President Trump is responding to the call that
the running people have.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
The running people have.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Heard his words that are naming streets after him.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
In Iran, there's a difference.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
They know he's no Barack Obama or Joe Biden, and
that's why they do have a higher expectation and we'll
see what happens. And as you say, I think the
President has a decision to make fairly soon. We're doing
what we need to do, regardless of whether help will
come or not. I'm just stating that the best way
to ensure that there'll be less people killed in Iran

(28:03):
is to intervene sooner so this regime finally collapses and
puts an end to all the problems that we are facing.
We are at war and we have to make sure
that we are victorious.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
How ironic is it that there are streets being named
after Donald Trump in Iran, but they're burning Trump at
effigy in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
By the way, there are streets named after Joe Biden
in Iran. Dead end. I did want to mention this though,
and this is one thing that does worry me. And
as I mentioned, there's always people on both sides of
an equation, and even if it seems cut and dry
to you and me or somebody else, it's maybe not
cutting dry to somebody else beyond that. So here's the

(28:45):
thing I worry about this. So the United States, even
if it's surgical right, if the United States goes in
and does military something, which they probably should at some point,
maybe not today or tomorrow, but at some point, and
you're going to start seeing people in this country protesting
military action in Iran. Get out of a ruck with

(29:06):
Iranian flags and protests in the streets, and we're going
to be We're going to be basically in our ice
protest mode, except for this time it'll be for the
president tried to take over the country of Iran. I
worry about those types of things. Whether what Donald Trump
does is right or wrong, there's always going to be
this huge crowd of people who say he's wrong.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, no, that's true. I think that's very true. So
I think this is just a really good lesson in
people who have, who have, who don't appreciate their freedom.
The people here in Minneapolis, so they don't appreciate what
they have, and if they just looked at Iran, I
think they would feel a little differently about attacking ice

(29:47):
officers with cars. But as it may, I'm still sorry
that or not still, but I am sorry that a
woman died being taken advantage of by politicians who like
to play these games, because I think that's what happened.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
I'm not I'm not picking on her specifically because we've
seen this in many cases, but it does come back
to the same old adage, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I love that phrase. That's one of my favorite I
think that's exactly right. That's the best way to put it.
There was another big issue this week that causes a
lot of demonstrations, and that is transgenders in sports, specifically
transgender women, women who were born with an X and
Y chromosome who then want to play in women's sports.
And there were two cases in front of the Supreme

(30:30):
Court this week, one out of Idaho, one out of
West Virginia. One is protesting under the fourteenth Amendment, the
other one is a Title nine issue, but they were
both argued this week in front of the Supreme Court,
and the Idaho Attorney General argued I thought boiled this

(30:51):
down to the best succinct way of putting what the
issue is, Cut twelve B.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
In sports, the correlated strongly with countless athletic advantages like size,
muscle mass, bone mass, and heart and lung capacity. Tragically,
but not surprisingly, male athletes have even injured female athletes
in many sports. If women don't have their own competitions,
they won't be able to compete. Gender identity does not

(31:19):
matter in sports, and that's why Idaho's law does not
classify on the basis of gender identity. It treats all
males equally and all females equally, regardless of identity. And
its purpose is exactly what the legislator said, preserving women's
equal opportunity.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
So that's essentially what both laws did, both West Virginia
and Idaho, and just as similar Lido put it to
put it directly to the acl a you lawyer, with
kind of funny results. It was probably, I thought, the
most amusing part of the three hour oral argument cut
number eleven.

Speaker 10 (31:55):
Is it not necessary for there to be for equal
protection purposes? If that is challenged under the equal protection clause,
an understanding of what it means to be a boy
or a girl, or a man or a woman? Yes, suretter,
And what is that definition for equal protection purposes? What
does what does it mean to be a boy or
a girl, or a man or a woman?

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Sorry amisenters through your question. I think that the underlying enactment,
whatever it was, the policy, the law, the would have
to we'd have to have an understanding of how the
state or the government was just understanding that term to
figure out whether or not someone was excluded. We do
not have a definition for the court.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Okay, so we can't define a man or a woman,
a boy or girl. So j Justice Alito had a
follow up question to that eleven A.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
And we don't take issue with the We're not disputing
the definition here. What we're saying is that the way
it applies in practice is to exclude birth sex males
categorically from women's teams, and that there's a subset of
those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to
do so according to the state's own interest.

Speaker 10 (32:56):
Well, how can you how can a court determine whether
there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what
sex memes? For equal protection purposes?

Speaker 5 (33:08):
I think here we just know that we basically know
that the that they've identified pursuing into their own statute,
we just know.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
We can't explain do you have what? We just know?
You know what the and you should have seen Justice
Alito's face really just by.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
The way as a rabbit hole that we could fall
down for eternity. But I just want to simply say,
and this is oversimplifying, and I don't care if someone
sends a letter. Look, if you want to just here's
here's the solution. Right. You got born male teams, born
female teams, transgender male teams, transgender female teams, boom, you
play each other, screw off. Stop it. I mean, obviously

(33:46):
there's way partially.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Basically Justice Alito's position. Ben I think that was. I
think that's essentially what it is.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
Well, let's see if they maybe he'll come out and
say that bluntly.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I'm hoping. I'm hoping. So then there was a Justice
Catangi Brown who doesn't seem to be tracking what the
issues are.

Speaker 12 (34:05):
Cut ten A, you have the overarching classification. You know,
everybody has to be play on the team that is
the same as their sex at birth. But then you
have a gender identity definition that is operating within that
meaning a distinction, meaning that for CIS ginger girls, they

(34:31):
can play consistent with their gender identity, for transgender girls
they can't.

Speaker 9 (34:37):
So I think that, okay, you're as to the part
about your ability to pass over from boy to girl,
Yes you can go from one way, but not the other.
I want to be clear that BBJ is not challenging
that specific classification. I think that's important to start with.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, so in other words, that's not the issue. So basically,
basically you have the that was the age of West
Virginia going okay, but that's not what's in front of you.
I mean, that's essentially what he just said. I mean,
so I think we all kind of feel, people who
are watching this or tracking this yesterday, that it looks

(35:12):
like and you can never tell, things can change. It
looks like both the laws of Idaho and West Virginia
will be up hell, but we'll find out in time.
But it's like, I mean, just sometimes and at one point,
Justice Gorsich just came in and stopped Katangi Brown because
she was just nobody understood what she was doing. He's like, stop,
just stop, And I think that was a good move

(35:34):
on his part, to be honest with you. We end
each week with the truth told. This week is no different. Again.
It's President Trump, because let's face it, he just gives
us so much every single day, over and over again.
He does. Here he is speaking at the Detroit Economic
Club and he mocks yes, Joe Biden. But it's pretty

(35:56):
interesting because I never thought i'd hear this cut for
a You.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Know, when you go up here, you take a big chance,
especially me because I go off teleproper about eighty percent
of the time. But isn't it nice to have a
president that can go off teleprompter and you think, remember
the speech is Joe. First of all, they'd last a
matter of seconds, you know, thank you very much. You

(36:24):
ever noticed Joe would always coughed before a speech State
of the Union.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
She gets ha ha.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
A ah, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
And then it would be like very short.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Although the one time they had him spruced up pretty good.
To remember, it was Isaac Kite. He was floating, he
was up their way up.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
He didn't that was a bad speech.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
So I wasn't aware that President Biden was high as
a kite? Does he literally mean President Biden was highs
a kite?

Speaker 6 (36:57):
Or is he just you know he goes. I think
I think everything he said there was a truth. I
think everything you said there was the truth, and and
and and and mostly you know, of course a truth
to him, which doesn't make it the truth. But I
think he wasn't he wasn't bs and he that's yeah,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
I tend to think you're right. I don't think he
was bs in either, but I can never tell. Sometimes
I think it's a mixture. It's both true and it's
a troll. So it's like, okay, it.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Was you know, in all honesty, you know, I don't
want to go back in time here, but you know,
we we talked about Joe Biden's issues long before they
were a real issue to everybody. But here's the thing.
He might have been high all the time. You had
no idea what he was on, what he wasn't on,
where he.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Was I think that's a really good point. We will
never know. I mean, unless unless you know, Joe Biden
coughs it up at some point, we're never going to know.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Well, one of two things, and maybe it's both things.
And we talked about this at nausea. Look, he either
was completely lost in the world completely or on drugs
or or both.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Right, so I think near the end it was both,
But I don't know. I I'm with you, I don't
know at what point you know the drugs came into
the fiction shop? There you go, Well, you know, I
we'd like to know what you think. Do you think
President Trump was was being truthful or was he just
poking the bear there with President Biden. You can contact
Ben and I on x at news by three or
