Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Brian Mud Show. Thanks for listening. Passion
plus talent is unstoppable. It's time for today's Top three Takeaways.
Yeah happened Tuesday to you. My takeaways today.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The IOC on gender identity, SCOTUS on marriage, and the
end of the shutdown in sight. So we've got a
a festive and fun top three takeaways for you today. First,
paying homage to those who have paved the way. Happy
Veterans Day. Your's Fox's Grnal Scott.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
You can trace this day's remembrances back to November eleventh,
nineteen nineteen, the first Armistice Day, to remember those who
then President Woodrow Wilson said died in the country's service
in World War One. In nineteen fifty four, Congress renamed
it Veterans Day to honor those who serve in every branch. Today,
Americans all over value that commitment. We thank them all
(01:01):
for their service.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So one thing that as we dive into my top
three takeaways here, a lot of vets are probably wondering today,
what was the point of this thing?
Speaker 5 (01:17):
What was the point of this thing? What am I
talking about? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Today is d forty two of the partial government shutdown
what is now the longest in American history by a
full week. By a full week. It's also the forty
second day. You probably still haven't been impacted by the
shutdown in any way, jol Net some impact six full
weeks in to the partial federal government shutdown to you.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I would put it, I think still at zero point
zero zero.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, So yeah, congratulations to you for having survived six
full weeks without thirty four percent of the federal government operating.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Who know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Who know it might be possible to make it this
far without the full bloat of the federal government in place.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's a remarkable thing.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And any event, the following Sunday Night's procedural vote to
break the Senate filibuster to end the partial government shutdown
by Congress effectively doing exactly what they are going to
do anyway if there hadn't been a shutdown, the Senate
passed the continuing Resolution Monday night, with the bill now
having moved onto the House with the train on the
(02:31):
tracks for an end to the shutdown this week to
the new legislation will fully fund some of the federal
government through the end of the fiscal year next September
all of the federal government through January. House Speaker Mike
Johnson he's on board with the Senate's agreement, intends to
take it up asap. So about that, it does appear
(02:53):
likely that, assuming the train remains on the tracks by
the time the vote has taken in the House, which
probably comes tomorrow, and then for to arrive on President
Trump's task, we're likely looking at a reopening schedule on Thursday.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Thursday is the best bet.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yesterday I mentioned that if everything came to plan, you're
probably talking late Thursday into Friday.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Probably bumped that up by about a half day.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
We might be you know, Thursday might be a clean
day with a reopening if everything breaks right. So anyway,
that's gonna be helpful for the purpose of getting air
traffic control back under control and time to avoid a
Thanksgiving travel disaster. But in the meantime, it means that
cancelations going to continue to pile up across the country.
Flight cancelations now total over five thousand since air traffic
(03:39):
was reduced starting last Friday. You got about sixty at
PBI since Friday night, and overall twelve hundred cancelations across
the state. The cascading effective air travel issues has now
led to a total of twenty six percent of Americans
having been directly impacted by the effects of the partial
government shutdown through travel as federal employees or through delayed benefits.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So that is up from four percent since Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So if you are going as we're saying, we have
not felt the direct impact, but you're li I have
and it was really awful this way. Yeah, you're part
of twenty six percent. Now just over a quarter have
felt it. It has been escalating, and so with that
many people that are now impacted by the mess, it
(04:26):
is good to see an end on the horizon, even
if from a policy standpoint we're exactly where we started,
which will be the case. And on that note, Florida
Congressman Byron Donald's it was what Jesse Waters had this
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The shutdown was about nothing except Chuck Schumer. It is
such travesty that Democrats took us as far down the road.
But now we're going to reopen the government. We're going
to get back to business.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So apparently the only point for this thing was for
Democrats to show TTS riddled voters. The last Twesday's elections
that we are still resisting see resistance. So I hope
it was worth it to them. It certainly hasn't been
to the twenty six percent of Americans negatively impacted the
(05:13):
in climbing, though it has served the purpose to show
that we can go six weeks without over a third
of the federal government doing anything, and without about three
quarters of the country even noticing. There's a massive takeaway
in there. There is, obviously there's the ability to permanently
doge white squaws of the federal government. This takes me
(05:36):
to my second takeaway today. Due to pretend to be women,
aren't actually women. This will be interactive. Second takeaway here
today Joel joining the mix staring directly at the sun.
(06:01):
The speed element or below in the left line a
speedo as in putting on a banana hammock and walking
around something I've never done. By the way, thank you,
thank you, just thank you. By the way, because I
(06:22):
know this Speedo sells some other stuff. I went to
their website yesterday when I was putting this together. I
just want to make sure that a oh my, if
you just go to Speedo and you see what comes up,
can I do it at work? Or will I get
in trouble? Why I did it at work? Okay, I'm
gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
I don't know, because I don't know what I'm gonna
find so weird reputation.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Just see what you say, it's a fascinating thing. Stereotypes
exists for a reason. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
What more for you?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
If you're still trying to figure out what these three
things have in common? Staring at the sun, driving the
speed limit or blowing the left lane a speedo?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
One more, voting for a Democrat? What are these things?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
These have to be bad ideas?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
There you go, it's good.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
These are obviously all things you should not do, right,
we should not be doing these things. Something else that
goes into that bucket. Taking a look at the homosexual
alphabet and thinking, you know what I should be doing today.
I need to find me a place on this thing, right,
take a look at the homosexual alphabet and thinking that
(07:32):
you should identify as something on it, not something that's
that's probably advisible. Speaking of which, on Monday, the IOC
finally did the intelligent thing, So yes, you can take
down this state. On Monday, November tenth, twenty twenty five,
the International Olympic Committee finally decided to follow the science.
(07:58):
Or maybe it was actually the first day that the
discovered science, I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
In any event, here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The IOC announced that it soon will enact a policy
preventing men who pretend to be women from competing as
women in the Olympics. Specifically, the policy states, and this
is fun that quote transgender female athletes.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
What this needs a cipher on.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Its own right, Yes, transgender female athletes because it is
like one of those things that is so unnatural that
your brain's like, Okay, what are they going for here?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Yeah, so transgender.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Female athletes, meaning men pretending to be women, may not
compete against biological women. Now, why the sudden change of
heart by the IOC, Well, evidently they did discover science.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Get there.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
The IOCs Medical and Scientific Director recently put together a presentation.
Now this is the this moves I mean, I'm talking
about the icing on the cake on this thing. You
had to have the Medical and Science director put together
a presentation.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Showing what.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean, really what came to mind was boys have peepies.
I mean, seriously, people. We had to have a medical
and science director put together a presentation showing wait for it,
physical advantages in biological males.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
So the thing that we've been saying all along, in
other words, I mean, they took how much time to
do this, and it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Took a presentation by a medical and science or a
scientific draft. It hadn't been somebody with that level of expertise.
I mean, it could have just been somebody pointing out that, yeah,
I get male parts female parts, yo.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Guys tend to being a lot taller. And so even
even those.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Who had undergone transgendered procedures still had physical advantages.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Who could have seen that coming?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So thank goodness for the IOSS Medical and Scientific Director, right,
because how could we have ever arrived at that earth
shattering conclusion without the recent revelation, but also making the
news yesterday somewhat related. My third takeaway for you today
is something that went the homosexual alphabet's way.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Fox is Jessica Rosenthal.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
The Kentucky clerk who refused to issue a marriage license
to a gay couple after the Supreme Court's decision in
Obergfeld versus Hodges a decade ago. Asked for the court
to reconsider, saying her First Amendment rights were violated as
she didn't believe in same sex marriage. A lower court
jury and judge determined she owed the couple well three
hundred and sixty thousand dollars in damages. The Sixth Circuit
(11:03):
Court of Appeals ruled that as a public official, she
had to honor what the justice is found to be
the constitutional rights of those who wanted to marry. Four
justices must agree to hear a case. Justice has often
declined to hear matters without providing an explanation, and that
was the case here as well.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, So, in the event you identify as gender indeterminant,
like you did, take a look at the homosexual alphabet
and when what does the I stand for?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Again? Is that indeterminate? I think I'm that?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Or if you know you're in the plus territory, you
know you're an apostrophe and percent whatever it is, you
can still marry in the eyes of the government. So, yeah,
on Monday, you did have the Supreme Court, as you
heard Jessica Mention, take up that case. I would have
revisited the same sex marriage issue that the Court previously
allowed In twenty fifteen, the High court refusing to take
(11:52):
up that appeal of Kentucky County cork Ken Davis held
in contempt for refusing issue the marriage licenses to same
sex couples her religious beliefs. Kim Davis lost her appeal,
her job permanently, one hundred thousand dollars in damages to victims,
and then the withholding of marriage licenses in addition to
legal fees. So same sex marriage remained someplace as does
(12:18):
And I'll just point this out the Bible, by the way,
which starting with Genesis, didn't take long for God to
get to this kind of stuff. Starting with Genesis, pretty
clear on this issue, has been clear for thousands of years.
So Kim might have been found to have been wrong
in the eyes of government, but not in the eyes
(12:41):
of God.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
So there's that
Welcome to the Brian Mud Show. Thanks for listening. Passion
