On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we honored the men and women who serve in the armed forces by hearing from a husband and wife who endured the challenges of a soldier coming home from battle with the scars of war and how faith and love brought healing and restoration to their lives and marriage. Their story reminded us that even with the deepest wounds there is healing when we entrust our lives to the loving hands of God. Although there is a historical separation in time between the events of the Old and New Testaments our guest explained how explained the links between both part of the book as God’s whole revelation of Himself to the world. He explained how as far back as Genesis God has revealed His plan of salvation through His promised Son coming and becoming the sacrifice that provided salvation to mankind. Since Covid 19 how we work in the modern world has definitely changed, but our need to work and be successful not only in the doing but in honoring God and using the talents and skills He has given us, has not changed. Our guest laid out some strategies to help us discover what our spiritual gifts are and how to implement them as part of our work to create purpose and success in our professional lives. Why do believers have a fear of sharing the gospel message with those who need to hear it most? Our guest helped us better understand those fears and why this message of hope is so often rejected by non-believers and how to live our lives as living examples of His message of hope. It is time to dig deep into the headlines of the week as we hold to account more of the messages being bought and sold in the marketplace of ideas.

S1 (00:00):
Hi friend, thanks so much for downloading this broadcast and
it is my hope that you'll hear something that will
challenge you, grow you up in him, and get you
out into the marketplace of ideas. But before you start listening,
let me take a moment and tell you what this
month's truth tool is. It's the Mediterranean Sea Rules by
Robert Morgan. I talked to him often on the air
because he's such a superb writer, and in this particular book,
he takes the story of Paul's shipwreck, recorded in the
(00:20):
book of acts, and gives us ten principles of how
we push through the storm, learning to trust in God
and all that he has done for us. It's a
magnificent book. It's a short book, and in typical Robert
Morgan writing style, it is a powerful book. I strongly
recommend that you have a copy of The Mediterranean Sea Rules,
because trust me, every single one of us will find
(00:40):
ourselves on stormy seas at some point in our voyage
through life. As for your copy of the Mediterranean Sea
Rules by calling 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58.
Or go online to. In the market with Janet Parshall.
Scroll to the bottom of the page. There's the book.
Click it on, make Your Gift and we'll send you
a copy. My way of saying thank you because we
are listener supported. Radio. Your gifts keep this broadcast on
(01:03):
the air. By the way, if you'd like to give regularly,
you're called a partial partner. You give every single month
a level of your own choosing. You always get the
truth tool. But in addition, I'll send out a weekly
newsletter that only my partial partners get. It contains my
writing and a little audio piece as well. So pray
about it and thanks in advance. Just call eight 7758
or online at in the Market with Janet Parshall. Again
(01:25):
the truth tool the Mediterranean Sea rules. Thanks so much.
And now please enjoy the broadcast.
S2 (01:31):
Here are some of the news headlines we're watching.
S3 (01:33):
The conference was over. The president won a pledge.
S4 (01:35):
Americans worshiping government over God.
S5 (01:37):
Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years.
S4 (01:41):
The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated.
S5 (01:43):
Every idea is not. Hi, friends.
S1 (01:59):
Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. A very
happy Friday to you. This is in the market with
Janet and Craig Parshall as it is on Fridays. Mr.
Craig Parshall joins us because, well, he's got a whole
lot between those two ears of his. First of all,
he's a wonderful attorney. He's been studying the law, applying
the law, defending the law, applying the law for decades.
(02:20):
But the best part of all of that is he
loves the law giver himself even more, and he is
a man of the word. He plumbs deep into the word,
and he knows how to apply the whole truth of
the whole gospel to the whole world around us. So
he's a pretty good fit on Friday, because that's basically
exactly what we do. We take a look at stories,
making headlines, and then we apply the straight stick of truth.
(02:42):
Dwight Moody said that brilliant word picture he called the
Word of God the straight stick of truth. And if
you know anything about carpentry, you always have to have
a straight stick, right? Measure twice, cut once. And you
need a metric. You need a plumb line so that
you can measure the crooked ideas out there. And the
Bible tells us that the world is filled with vain
and hollow philosophies, which is a pretty good working definition
(03:04):
of what a crooked idea is. So what we do
on Fridays is we take a look at some of
the ideas out there, and by applying the Word of
God to it, you and I get to determine whether
it is in fact straight or crooked. And that's what
we do. We go pretty fast. Keep your hands inside
the ride at all times, but we're going to take
a look at a whole bunch of issues, and we're
going to start with Israel. Why not? If you've been
(03:24):
paying attention to some graduation speakers this week, oh boy,
this is their 15 seconds of fame where they can
get up and berate Israel, promulgate lies, and speak about
a pro-Palestinian era ahead, and continue to chant from the
river to the sea. Free, free Palestine, which is a
nice little rhythmic nothingness, meaning except ideas have consequences. And
(03:46):
in fact, when you start looking at it, we should
point out the fact that the United Nations General Assembly
is trying to push now the implementation of a two
state solution, and that's something very important. The two state
solution due to be held in New York on June
17th through the 20th. So that's right around the corner.
So because we subscribe to the truth, the whole truth
(04:08):
and nothing but the truth, because we follow one whose
name is light, we're going to shine a little light
on what's going on out there. So in the meantime,
while all of these paid protesters are out there promulgating,
that's a lot of P's for alliteration. If you're following
this idea of a pro-Palestinian state, the genocide, the genocide
is being committed by Israel and that Palestine or the
(04:30):
Palestinian people are being, uh, horribly treated by the Israeli people. Well,
how about asking whether or not the leadership in the
Palestinian area, Gaza in particular, is willing to work for
a cease fire? Now, remember, they're not a government, they're
not a state, they're not a country. They are a
group of people being held hostage by terrorists. And it's
(04:51):
important that you understand that, that Palestinian people are suffering
terribly if you're on the X at all, and I'm
on there all the time. It's very interesting to watch
video that's being sent out, probably at the risk of
the person doing the sending, by the way, that's thanking America,
thanking President Trump, thanking them for the aid that's getting through.
And at the same time, you see an equal measure
(05:11):
of video taken under cover of the terrorists keeping the
aid from the people. So is it really Israel that's
doing this or is it the terrorist in Hamas? So
here's the latest news from Hamas as you're chanting free,
free Palestine. Hamas doesn't want freedom at all for Palestine.
They want to use it as a wedge against Israel. Well,
(05:34):
in the latest cease fire plan that's been put on
the table, surprise Hamas has again rejected. Here's more from
CBN's Chris Mitchell.
S6 (05:42):
Israeli troops push further into northern Gaza, warning civilians to
get out of harm's way U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff ceasefire
and hostage deal would reportedly lead to Hamas freeing ten
of the remaining living hostages in the first week of
the 60 day ceasefire. In exchange, Israel would free more
(06:04):
than 1000 Palestinian prisoners. A major sticking point Hamas wants
guarantees Israel won't return to fighting after the cease fire.
But Israel's prime minister says he wants the fighting to
resume and continue until Hamas is eliminated in Gaza. Meanwhile,
the Israeli government has made an historic decision to approve
(06:28):
22 new communities in the biblical heartland of the Jewish
nation Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.
This will help block Palestinians from forming a state in
this area. And according to Defense Minister Israel Katz, it
also provides a buffer for the nation's security. As he
(06:48):
put it, Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria serves as
a vital security barrier for Israel's major population centers. We
must do everything in our power to expand and reinforce
this protective shield. It was the first volley in the
government's effort to head off another unilateral move for a
(07:08):
Palestinian state by some Western powers, including France, next month,
France's president at a summit in New York City, will
push for most of the world to altogether recognize a
Palestinian state. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned that such
a declaration would reward the Hamas terrorists who committed the
(07:30):
October 7th atrocities. He added unilateral moves against Israel will
be met with unilateral Israeli measures.
S7 (07:38):
We will not get any dictates from outside with regard
to our national security.
S6 (07:45):
This fits with the Foreign Minister's statements this week that
if outside nations push to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state
in Judea and Samaria. Israel will respond by declaring sovereignty
over more and more of the area. Chris Mitchell CBN news, Jerusalem.
S1 (08:03):
So let me go to this push at the United
Nations for the so-called two state solution. My $0.02. This
is an opinion I wouldn't give you a nickel for
the United Nations. They've long outlived their usefulness. And there's
a huge solid Muslim bloc that continues to foment animosity
against the nation of Israel. As regards this conference coming
(08:23):
up June 17th through the 20th, it's being chaired by
Saudi Arabia and France, by the way. And according to
the two co-chairs, the aim of the conference is and
I'm quoting now to help end the occupation and materialize
the independent and sovereign state of Palestine. So this push
for Palestinian statehood is absolutely, unquestionably one sided, unrealistic. Untimely, dangerous.
(08:49):
A majority of UN state members, primarily the Islamic, Arab
and African groups, carefully orchestrated the United Nations General Assembly
resolutions calling for this conference. So it's a deliberate attempt
to further undermine the legal rights and security needs of
the Jewish state. The United States may vote against it.
We'll see whether or not this gets passed. But then
(09:10):
that raises the specter of all kinds of questions. If
you're going to call for a nation where the boundaries
of that nation and if you draw the boundaries inside
the sovereign nation of Israel, is this the United Nations
now declaring war on Israel? Got a lot to think
and pray about back after this. Life. Storms can make
(09:34):
us feel shipwrecked and lost. But there's wisdom in scriptures.
Most dramatic sea voyage in Mediterranean Sea Rules Robert Morgan
reveals powerful principles from Paul's shipwreck in the Book of Acts.
Ten biblical rules that will equip you to navigate life's
toughest waters with confidence and courage. As for your copy
of The Mediterranean Sea Rules, when you give a gift
of any amount to in the market, call 877. Janet 58.
That's 877 Janet 58. Or go to In the market
(09:57):
with Janet Parshall. And speaking of our truth tool, I
cannot believe that the month of May is almost over.
And I want to tell you that you've got today
and tomorrow and that's it then. This month's truth tool,
The Mediterranean Sea Rules by Robert Morgan, goes back on
the bookshelf and it becomes part of the history of
(10:17):
our truth tools for this program. Now, Robert is a
superb author, and so many of you who have gotten
his books concur with me. I know he loves the word.
He's a fabulous preacher of the word. He loves history,
he loves music, and he puts stories together like no
one I've ever heard. But then he applies it to
the Word of God. So this is really the third
of his rules book. He had the Red sea rules.
(10:37):
He had the Jordan River rules. Now he's got the
Mediterranean Sea rules. And every one of them focuses on
one part of Scripture and how we apply it to
the journey of our pilgrimage as a follower of Jesus Christ.
So obviously in the Red sea rules. You can see
you've got the enemy at the back. You've got challenges
in the front. How do you push forward then? The
(10:58):
Jordan River is you're about to step into a new experience.
Is God going to meet you there? Is. God got
ahead to prepare you and get you ready for that
new experience. The Mediterranean Sea Rules focuses in on acts
27 and 28, which is Paul's shipwreck, and it teaches us, hey,
every single one of us, we're going to have storms
in our life. How do we get safely through the storms?
By trusting the captain of our ship. It is a
(11:20):
fabulous book. Anything Robert Morgan writes is excellent, and it's
yours for a gift of any amount because we're listener
supported radio. So just call 8778877 Janet 58. Give a
gift of any amount. We're going to send you the
Mediterranean Sea rules as a way of saying thank you.
You can also give online at In the Market with
Janet Parshall. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click
(11:41):
on the cover of the book, make your donation and
likewise we'll send it to you. While you're there, you
might want to consider becoming a partial partner now. Yesterday.
Thursdays are always big days because that's the day my
partial partner gets our weekly newsletter, which includes writing by
me and an audio piece. Only my partial partners get
that and they always get the truth tool. So that's
(12:01):
my way of saying thank you. When you decide to
give every single month a level again at your own choosing.
But it's this constant financial support for the program that's
so very much appreciated. So 877 Janet. 58 877 Janet
58 or online at in the market with Janet Parshall. Okay. Craig,
today we're closing arguments in federal court on a case
(12:22):
called us versus Google. Tell me all about it.
S8 (12:25):
Federal court has already ruled that Google has maintained an
illegal monopoly. Now, for a lot of us, we think, okay, well,
that's sort of interesting, but what's the big deal? Well,
the big deal is this Google is the number one, uh,
controller of information and data on the entire internet. In
other words, out of all the companies and all the
(12:47):
apps and all the devices and all the computers that
all of us use all the time. Google controls more
information that we put in and that we receive than
any company on the face of the Earth. As a
matter of fact, the Federal Court found that Google has
nine times as much data of you, Janet and I,
(13:11):
and everybody else who has ever searched on that search
option that Google has. And by the way, 90% of
the human race prefers Google over its competitors because, quite frankly,
it is simply better because it has more data and
more information to give us. So when we search about, uh,
some historical fact, uh, Google's got better data than everybody else.
(13:34):
So what's the big problem with that? The big problem
is that it is also engaged in a race for
artificial intelligence. And they use our data to train artificial
intelligence to then get smarter so that I can help
Google to control what we see. What we don't see.
And perhaps to manipulate everything from our choices on clothing
(13:58):
or the next car we ought to buy, or how
we ought to vote in the next election. That's a
lot of power in the hands of one company that wants,
according to its origination. At the very beginning, the founders
of Google said they wanted to control the world's information.
I have a problem with that. If it's a monopoly,
because that means, uh, competitors may not apply.
S1 (14:21):
So why did The New York Times run the headline,
The Judge's data dilemma in the Google search case?
S8 (14:26):
Well, because right now they have to decide what they
do about this in the first part of the case.
By the way, this is not unusual in these big
monopoly antitrust cases. American antitrust law has been around since
the late 1800s. It simply says you cannot maintain an
illegal monopoly in the commercial sphere, particularly if it harms
(14:48):
consumer Suber, welfare prices, quality of services and elements like that.
So in order to have a free enterprise that's functioning
in a free market, you also have to have some
boundaries to that free market. So that one monopoly doesn't
rule the entire market. It's one thing when you're talking about,
let's say, a monopoly in refrigerators, which are important to
(15:11):
all of us, but information is 100 times more important
than that for a myriad of obvious reasons. So in
the first part of the case, they found whether or
not Google was an illegal monopoly in violation of the law.
And that's what the judge found. And I read his decision.
It is quite lengthy, it is very well documented, and
the evidence seems to be very strong. But now the
(15:33):
question is, how do we handle this? How do we
restore competition in the search function of Google running the world?
And that's where the court has a dilemma, because there
is really no nice remedy for the problem that of
Google's monopoly control of information and search there simply isn't,
(15:56):
because the AI race is going so fast that anything
this judge decides will probably be obsolete in a year
or two.
S1 (16:04):
Nobody's called any of these monsters of Silicon Valley a
monopoly yet, so until they're called one legally and identified
as such. Isn't this just sound and fury signifying nothing?
S8 (16:15):
Well, they have been determined to be a. Google has
an illegal monopoly in that federal judge. In this case,
meta is also being sued, and they're in court right now. Meta,
of course, used to go by the name of Facebook. Now,
meta is the general corporate name for that gigantic company
that runs Facebook, Instagram, messenger, WhatsApp, um, and of course,
(16:42):
they're also pursuing, uh, artificial intelligence of their own. So
they're also being charged with an illegal monopoly. There are
only a handful of these giant tech companies in Silicon
Valley that basically run the internet, and a couple of
them have already been charged with illegal monopolization. The question is,
what do we do about it? And that's the dilemma
(17:03):
this court faces.
S5 (17:05):
This is in the market.
S1 (17:06):
With Janet Parshall. Don't forget again, our truths tool expires
midnight on Saturday. If you don't have your copy of
the Mediterranean Sea Rules 877 Janet, 58 or online at
in the market with Janet parshall.org. We turn the page
another topic right after this. It's always take two. We
(17:32):
always like to take a look at AI and what's
going on in the world of tech. And it's a
great segue out of the story about this case regarding Google.
And it is talking about the weight that AI is
bringing to bear on our culture, not just nationally but globally.
And if you watch any of those thumbnails that pop
up when you're surfing YouTube, for example, there is so
(17:53):
much information out there about the quantum leaps forward that
they're making with AI. Quite frankly, a lot of it
is very unsettling. And you'll notice the wicked manipulation of language.
Buyer beware on this to call a robot a humanoid. What,
because it looks like a human? Because you decided to
strap on appendages to it. So you're going to pretend
it's a human to give it a name. A female name, uh,
(18:16):
to make it look like a dog. All of these
things to try to speak. The fact that these are
sentient beings, they're not. They are machines made by a
human being. So now you go to Nvidia, the big
player in this arena. They say it's largest general purpose
robot can now teach a humanoid machine using software entirely,
(18:38):
bypassing the months of motion caption sessions most rivals still
depend on. So the chipmaker unveiled something they called Groot Dreams. No,
you can't make that up. Hello, Galaxy, at this Computex
trade show. It took place last week in Taipei, and
they're pitching it as a shortcut that turns a single
photo into a short simulation video. And from there, into
(19:02):
the step by step instruction instructions, a robot needs to move.
In effect, engineers feed the robot. And this is their words,
not mine. This goes to my issue about manipulation of
language a quote dream reel instead of hours of recorded
factory walks cutting down developmental tile and costs. So, according
to the CEO in Nvidia, who sent out a press release,
(19:23):
physical AI and robotics will bring about the next industrial revolution.
Pulling out of the story, let me stop and say
and will cost millions of people their jobs. But you see,
the CEO of Nvidia is interested in lining his pockets.
Doesn't really care if the advancement of this technology takes
someone off an assembly line where he's no longer able
(19:45):
to put bread on his table. Back to the press release.
From the I brains for robots to simulated worlds to
practice in or AI supercomputers for training foundation models, Nvidia
provides building blocks for every stage of robotic development journey.
Sounds like a come on for a company, right? Buy
from us. We'll make you your robot. Nvidia's research team
claims the approach is already trimmed, training its previous Groot
(20:08):
models to 36 hours. Work that previously took three months
of live motion capture and annotation. The company generates the
footage inside its Omniverse and Cosmos simulator. It's the language here,
then runs the best trajectories through Cosmos Reason, which is
an AI filter that apparently tosses out awkward or impossible
(20:30):
moves before they ever reach a motor. In short, the
robot watches thousands of ultra realistic practice rounds that only
exist on a server, learns what succeeds, and steps onto
the factory floor already knowing not not know you. It
really doesn't know, does it? Reason? Does it use discernment?
Does it use higher level thinking skills? Is it critically
(20:51):
thinking quote learning okay. Exactly how they're supposed to be
able to do this. So uh, apparently again, uh, they're
saying this is an Nvidia talking. They're saying it's really
good because the age of generalist robotics has arrived with
breakthroughs in mechatronics, physical AI, and embedded computing just in
(21:13):
time as labor shortages limit worldwide industrial growth, labor shortages.
I thought people were out looking for jobs. Wow. So again,
a spokesperson for Nvidia said a major challenge for robot
makers is the lack of large scale, real and synthetic
data to train models. Human demonstrations aren't scalable, limited by
(21:36):
the numbers of hours in the day. There's more to
the story. Craig. Your thoughts so far?
S8 (21:41):
Well, look, the proponents of I everything, everywhere for everybody,
which is really the goal. Uh, and there's an excitement in,
you know, these, uh, computer engineers who are developing this
because obviously, um, it's, uh, a way of doing two
things very well, doing things faster than humans can in
(22:05):
terms of calculating, uh, calculating functions. And number two, uh,
in addition to speed, they can handle huge amounts of
data in that shorter period of time. So it's like
an adding machine. Uh, then suddenly we have handheld devices that, uh,
help us to add or subtract quicker. And then we
(22:29):
have computers that are even faster and handle more data
than the previous iterations of technology. And that's all wonderful,
but there's no dreaming going on here. They use words
that give us the impression those of us who are
not part of the technological elite that use the kind
of language that they use, who understand what algorithms are
(22:51):
and what, uh, certain, uh, cyber, uh, architecture really is.
Those are things that the average person like you and I,
we don't understand. So they use that language, and then
they want to translate it in appealing ways to the
rest of us. So they use words like, these machines
can dream. No, they really can't. What they're doing is
finding a more concise way to train these machines, that
(23:17):
is to say, to set up some coding, some programs
for it to do what it does faster and better
and figure out problem solving. But all of this is
because a human being has inputted this data, has created
an algorithm, a computer code, to be able to make
all of this work inside the machine. There's no thinking,
(23:38):
there's no dreaming going on. Um, and certainly there's no
human cognition or consciousness going on. They'd like you to
think so, because their master plan is to, well, basically
mechanize everything through robotics, through artificial intelligence. And the one
industry that they say will not be impacted, interestingly and ironically,
(24:01):
is the computer engineers operating this.
S1 (24:04):
Yeah, right. Self-preservation. By the way, you drop this contextually
into the issue of geopolitics. How many times have we
talked with Bill gates about China's declaration that as soon
as 2027, they're going to take over Taiwan? Nvidia is
going to be a very interesting part to play in
all of that. When China says we're taking over the world,
so are they going to use this technology back after this?
(24:35):
How often do you tune into in the market? Once,
twice a week? Every day. If this program is valuable
to you, why not become a partial partner. Your financial
support is invaluable as we apply God's Word to current
events and modern culture. Knowing we can count on your
monthly gift encourages us to deliver relevant and up to
date content every day. Become a partial partner today by
calling 877 Janet, 58, or go online to in the
(24:58):
market with Janet Parshall.
S5 (25:03):
So let's turn our attention.
S1 (25:04):
To the insanity that's taken up residency here in the
United States, where somewhere along the line we decided that
a man isn't a man, but a woman isn't a woman.
And basically, you can decide to be anything you want.
And if you live in New York State, apparently you
have over 92 options to choose from. And I'm sure
that list is growing as we speak. But here's the
reality you are born a male or you are born
(25:26):
a female. Put aside the birth anomalies there. That is
not someone choosing at all. That's genetic coding that took
place in utero. So we're talking about being born a man,
being born a woman. But rather than viewing this as
the mental illness that it is. Rather than looking at
the person who's struggling on how they're trying to identify themselves.
(25:47):
In fact, if you have to self-identify, that's your first
red flag, that there's a problem. Identity is pretty self-evident.
Just look in the bathroom mirror. But now what we've
got are people who are making demands, demanding civil rights.
You've got the back of that sail wind that blows forward,
saying that this is a quote, an immutable, which means
unchangeable in the law characteristic. It is not. It does
(26:10):
not get protected class status. Although there are states in
this country right now who are trying to act like
they have somehow special rights. So the reality is that
in the process of moving for special rights, this entire
trans ideology, and that's what it is, it is not
a medical diagnosis. It is an ideology. It is hurting
(26:31):
girls sports. Now, I think this is a hugely important issue.
Over 50 years ago, title nine was passed, added to
that panoply of protections. We've got that basically said girls
should have a level playing field just like a boy
when it comes to sports, and we honored and protected that.
And as a result, several girls went on to get
scholarship money, had the thrill of having their character molded
(26:53):
and shaped through athletics by competing with other girls, learned
what it meant to be a team member, learned what
playing fair and good sportsmanship was all about. And there
isn't a person who got a girl who got involved
in sports who can't say that wasn't beneficial to me. Well,
now the tables have been flipped, and now we've got
men who are cheating, who have decided that they're going
to call themselves a girl, and now they're going to
(27:15):
compete against girls, even though they're a boy immediately out
of the gate, they have a biological advantage. Their heart
is larger, their lungs are bigger, their muscles are stronger,
their bones are denser. Um, there there are. Despite the
people who have put on blinders and pretended that they would, quote,
do what's right in their own eyes. There are biological distinctions,
(27:36):
and it is why all of these times that there's
a trans. Do you know any new stories so far
where the trans has come in second or third place,
the trans always wins, right? Because the trans is a
man competing against girls. I give you what's going on
at La Canada High School in California. There's a young
woman there by the name of Katie McGuinness and she
wants to win. CIF. Now CIF is the California Interscholastic Federation.
(28:00):
It's the governing body for high school sports in California.
And it includes both public and private schools. So Katie,
very much, by the way, wants to compete and wants
to win in the long jump. Katie got on national
TV recently and she had this to say.
S9 (28:16):
It's really such an honor to be here. And I
also just want to preface by saying I have nothing
against this athlete as a person, and I have nothing
against the trans community. My message today is really, um,
specifically to CIF and for them to act quickly and
in a timely manner, because this is a very time
sensitive issue and girls every day are losing their spot
(28:40):
due to biological boys beating out biological girls. And to
go back to your question, um, I tried to keep
my focus last Saturday and kind of treat it like
any other normal meet. Um. However, on my third jump,
I watched AB, uh do their jump and the numbers
(29:01):
on the screen lit up to 19ft, two inches, which
was the furthest mark of that day. And I just
remember thinking to myself, okay, I need to get a
big jump. And so normally something typical that long jump
athletes will do is they start a clapping sequence kind
of to gain momentum from the crowd and kind of
(29:22):
feel the rhythm of the jump. And um, so I
did that and I ran down the runway and I
landed and I watched them measure my mark. And it
was 1809. And I just remember thinking that there was
nothing else that I could do, that that was it.
And I was honestly very discouraged. And, you know, I'm
a high school senior and, um, you know, winning a
(29:46):
CIF has always been a goal of mine. And, um,
I just I wasn't able to compete with someone who
is genetically different than me.
S1 (29:55):
Brilliant, articulate, truthful. Abby Hernandez is the fella that won.
She ends up coming in second place. He jumps 19ft
two inches. She jumps 18ft nine inches. Now, there are
a lot of people that are speaking out about this
in California, and I'm very glad one of them happens
to be the mayor pro tem of that particular city. Clovis,
(30:16):
California is the epicenter now in this political battle over
trans athletes in girls sports. And so the town is
set to host a track meet, uh, and they're very
interested in what's going on. This track meet, by the way, uh,
is supposed to take place. I think it's this weekend. Uh,
and Diane Pierce is the town's mayor pro tem. She's
(30:39):
been actively lobbying to make the administration here in Washington
aware of the situation for weeks, and she got her
fellow local officials involved. Here's the mayor. Have a listen.
S10 (30:50):
When President Trump posted his information on social media on Tuesday,
that just kind of ignited everyone's interest and put a
spotlight on it, which fortunately, it kind of helped galvanize
people and encouraged the effort and people to show up
to support girls and their spaces and supports. The attention
that this has gotten has already put pressure on CIF.
(31:10):
We already know that Governor Newsom earlier this year said
that he believes that boys competing against girls is deeply unfair.
So we're looking for those in those leadership roles. CIF again,
the updates that they've done, these last minute adjustments they've made,
all it really does is underscore the fact that they
can acknowledge that biological girls have been cheated out of
opportunities that they've earned. That's why they're making these adjustments
(31:33):
to try and include more girls as qualifying and try
to include more biological girls as placing in these events.
So that's really the key here, is to continue to
put that pressure on CIF, on our state legislature that's
had opportunities to rectify the situation and chosen not to act,
and to Governor Newsom to say you're the adults who
have the control over this. I have I expect people
(31:56):
to treat this athlete with compassion. I think, unfortunately, that again,
the failures of the adults who set these policies have
created this situation.
S1 (32:08):
Craig, your thoughts on this?
S8 (32:09):
Yeah, that last comment is very insightful. The bottom line is,
if you're looking for the top and the bottom line
on who's really responsible, it's the adults making policy, refusing
to acknowledge the reality of the biological differences, physiological differences between, uh,
female uh, sports and male sports at the high school
(32:31):
and even in the college level. Um, it lays at
their feet this responsibility. But what I find entirely bewildering
is this issue now has been going on for a
number of years. That is the the transgender, um, position
and movement trying to force its way into sports, into
(32:52):
business and into politics and into education. But let's take sports.
Where is the feminist movement that supposedly was opposing discrimination
against women when the the equality between man and woman activities,
let's say, in the employment field? Uh, they the feminist
(33:14):
movement was very vocal about the fact that females shouldn't
be treated as second class citizens if they could do
the same work and the same way and the same
quality and under the same circumstances as men. And yet
now we see a distinct discrimination against biological women by
having biological men beating them in sports, where it's obvious
(33:36):
that you're going to have a discriminatory effect on women's sports.
Where are they? I'm not seeing the voices coming out. Uh,
you know, the the month or year of rage from
the feminists when all the rest of us can see
it is blatant, uh, mistreatment and discrimination against biological females
in a sport. Any sport should be based on, on
(33:59):
fair competition, not unfair competition.
S1 (34:02):
Well, and the feminist voices that are speaking out are
female lesbian athletes who are supporting the trans community. So
they're viewing this as a sexual orientation issue. They're not
viewing this as a fairness issue. But I find it
interesting that you have a lot of very professional athletes. Uh,
Aaron Rodgers, Tim Tebow and others have said it is
(34:23):
absolutely unfair to have girls competing against boys, and boys
shouldn't be competing against girls. So I appreciate the fact
that this mayor, uh, in Clovis, California, has really come
out vocally and said, look, this has got to stop. Now,
what I find interesting is that there could be pushback
on the federal level. Schools need money. Start with that understanding, principal.
They need money. They take federal money. They'll get state
(34:45):
money at the federal level. This is why there's so
much conversation here in Washington, D.C.. It seems to me
that through the Department of Education and through the Department
of Justice, you could say that what the CIF, the
California Interscholastic Federation might be doing is trampling on the
rights of these girl athletes and litigation could in world
(35:06):
to find out about these little local matches, but they
become national headlines every time, every time it happens. And
also there's a second component on the every time it happens.
Somewhere in that mix is a very brave young woman
who's willing to step forward and say, I will not
compete against someone who's not my gender. The fencing world
was changed dramatically when that female fencer took a knee
(35:29):
and said, I respect you greatly. Sorry, this is a
girl's fencing match. I will not fence against you. When
Katie got up and got on national news and talked
about the fact that she's not going to compete against
somebody who's not the same gender, it takes someone very strong.
Riley Gaines, obviously is the most famous for this, because
she spoke out against Mr. Thomas beating her. And as
(35:50):
a result of that, the stage got set. Now there's
so much more to the story. I want to get
some more of your take on this when we return.
So this is not a small issue. This is becoming
a bigger and bigger issue because the undercurrent of this,
even if you're not interested in sports, is are we
creating a false category of protected civil rights for people
who decide one day they're trapped in the wrong body?
If you're going to do that, what other civil rights
(36:12):
are we going to apply out there back after this?
So we were talking about the situation in California. But
trust me, this is not localized to one state by
(36:33):
any stretch of the imagination. Let me turn your attention
to what's happening in the state of Minnesota. Here's how
the Minnesota Star Tribune put it. The Champlin Park softball team,
perennial bridesmaids for most of the past decade, finally scaled
a hump that had grown mountainous, leaning on the right
arm of lanky junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger to defeat Rogers
one to zip in the class Four-a section five championship Thursday.
(36:56):
Except one little problem Marissa is a man. And so
this man, by the way. And if you want to
count numbers and you're interested, if you've ever seen girls
softball the fast, underhand pitch that they do, a man
single handedly carried out this championship. He pitched 14 shutout
innings back to back games, 14 shutout innings. And he's
(37:19):
got long hair and a ponytail. But he's a boy.
And so this really raises the specter again of cheating.
Now if I were on playing for Rogers and we
got bit one zip because the pitcher was a man.
It's girls softball. There's a completely different form of pitching
based on the physiology of girls. So this is not
(37:41):
civil rights. This is cheating, plain and simple. And if
I were the parent of that trans child, I would
hang my head because I would be very aware of
the fact that my son had to cheat his way
into girls sports to win. I would also then get
him counseling. Craig, your thoughts?
S8 (37:56):
Well, it isn't just a young man, uh, playing against girls.
It's a six foot young man. Um, size matters when
you're a pitcher in terms of the speed of that pitch,
whether it's overhand or underhand. Uh, and just one more
example of how sports has become politicized by the trans movement. Uh,
(38:19):
they don't care about fairness. They don't care about fair competition, uh,
or rules of equality in terms of grades. Let's say
this what if you had a high school team And, uh,
they're forced to play against a college team. Now, most
of us would say, well, that's that's an unfair advantage.
(38:40):
But what if you said, well, uh, we think it's
appropriate for college students and high school students to test
the competitive attitude and skill set of each of them.
So seniors will compete against freshmen and sophomore college students.
You have, uh, weight limits in wrestling for a reason.
(39:04):
You have weight limits as well, in terms of boxing
and other sports. You have guardrails to make sure that
the competition is fair in a very basic, fundamental way.
And yet, right now, these rules are being thrown out
at a point where kids in high school and high
school sports should be learning the idea of fairness, rather
(39:28):
than seeing it betrayed in there in front of their
very eyes during a competition.
S1 (39:34):
So the Minnesota Star Tribune ran a headline that said
Minnesota softball player Sue Keith Ellison State High School League
over transgender athlete policy. So apparently there's an organization called
True North Legal. They're the organization that's leading the lawsuit
against Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League for
allowing this madness to continue. If you go now to
(39:56):
the Minnesota Star Tribune, they have scrubbed all references to
this story on their social. So, again, what's also insidious
to me is the mom. This is why there's definitely
mental illness in this story. So apparently this is something
that Redux pointed out when Rothenberger. While Rothenberger has participated
in girls sports from an early age and has never
(40:17):
publicly stated that he identifies as transgender. Redux has obtained
documents showing that his mother, Heather Rothenberger, applied to the
Hennepin County District Court to alter his birth certificate shortly
after his ninth birthday. So the mom was facilitating the
delusion of her nine year old son. The petition was approved.
(40:39):
This is how it works in Minnesota, folks. The petition
was approved. Rothenberger was issued a new birth certificate showing
that he was born female and altering his name from
Charlie Dean. That's who pitched Charlie Dean to Marissa. Minnesota
is one of the many states where altered birth certificates
don't need to signify that the original document was altered.
So there's so much in the story that's absolutely unbelievable.
(41:02):
So I'm going to be watching with great interest to
see if North True North Legal comes out victorious on this,
suing the state uh, AG and also the Minnesota State
High School Association because it's cheating.
S8 (41:16):
Birth certificates are important legal documents. You need them for
a wide variety of reasons. Um, but now you're permitting.
In fact, you're encouraging the falsification of information on birth
certificates about the actual sexual DNA and genetics of somebody
(41:36):
who's born. Now, how many other government documents are we?
Are we going to change based on somebody's subjective idea
of how they imagined themselves, as opposed to the reality
of who they are?
S1 (41:50):
I find it troublesome that this young man, apparently, according
to Redux, didn't start identifying as a transgender. So what
in the world of common sense makes him think that
he can put on a uniform and just go play
with the girls because he feels like it?
S8 (42:04):
Well, you raised an important point. Facilitated by the mother and.
S1 (42:10):
The school.
S8 (42:10):
District and the school district. So at what point do
you say, you know, if there are laws and there
are laws in all 50 states against child neglect and
child abuse, but it is a form of child abuse
for the school district and the parent to facilitate the delusion. Unfortunately,
(42:30):
we have a culture and we have movements, political and
social movements like the trans industry. And it's an industry,
by the way, because now we have some of the
medical professionals who are making money off transition procedures, making
money on it, supporting and encouraging this. And we have
television programs who are teaching children. You ought to really
(42:51):
question whether you're a boy or a girl, regardless of
what your genetics are and your biology. So at what
point do we call foul and say, there is such
a thing as truth and falsity, and we're not going
to propagate falsity and we're not going to endure it,
we're certainly not going to be required to participate and
support it.
S1 (43:10):
Well, let me go out again and identify the heroes
in these stories. So Abby Hernandez is a boy competing
against Katie McGinnis, a girl. He won first place at
the semi-finals last weekend. Now they've got an upcoming girls
track and field competition in Clovis. this and I have
to tell you again, several lawmakers in the Central Valley
are calling for Hernandez to be removed from the competition.
(43:33):
And I want to give a shout out to, again,
the Clovis Clovis Mayor Pro Tem, Diane Pearce, when she says, quote,
there is a distraction that hangs like a cloud over
this weekend's events. Allowing boys into girls sports puts their achievements,
opportunities and even safety at risk. And the lawmakers brought
up the proposed Senate Bill 622, which would segregate sports
(43:54):
programs based on the pupil sex at birth. This story
is not over yet, but I really do recognize and
thank God for the heroes in this story as we
continue for another hour. Hope you can join us. If not,
you can download your favorite podcast anywhere in the market
with Janet Parshall. Listen to the second hour at your convenience.
Don't forget. Mediterranean Sea Rules expires midnight tomorrow night, so

Market with Janet Parshall. See you next time.
Hi friend, thanks so much for downloading this broadcast and
it is my hope that you'll hear something that will
challenge you, grow you up in him, and get you
out into the marketplace of ideas. But before you start listening,
let me take a moment and tell you what this
month's truth tool is. It's the Mediterranean Sea Rules by
Robert Morgan. I talked to him often on the air
because he's such a superb writer, and in this particular book,
he takes the story of Paul's shipwreck, recorded in the
(00:20):
book of acts, and gives us ten principles of how
we push through the storm, learning to trust in God
and all that he has done for us. It's a
magnificent book. It's a short book, and in typical Robert
Morgan writing style, it is a powerful book. I strongly
recommend that you have a copy of The Mediterranean Sea Rules,
because trust me, every single one of us will find
(00:40):
ourselves on stormy seas at some point in our voyage
through life. As for your copy of the Mediterranean Sea
Rules by calling 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58.
Or go online to. In the market with Janet Parshall.
Scroll to the bottom of the page. There's the book.
Click it on, make Your Gift and we'll send you
a copy. My way of saying thank you because we
are listener supported. Radio. Your gifts keep this broadcast on
(01:03):
the air. By the way, if you'd like to give regularly,
you're called a partial partner. You give every single month
a level of your own choosing. You always get the
truth tool. But in addition, I'll send out a weekly
newsletter that only my partial partners get. It contains my
writing and a little audio piece as well. So pray
about it and thanks in advance. Just call eight 7758
or online at in the Market with Janet Parshall. Again
(01:25):
the truth tool the Mediterranean Sea rules. Thanks so much.
And now please enjoy the broadcast.
S2 (01:31):
Here are some of the news headlines we're watching.
S3 (01:33):
The conference was over. The president won a pledge.
S4 (01:35):
Americans worshiping government over God.
S5 (01:37):
Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years.
S4 (01:41):
The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated.
S5 (01:43):
Every idea is not. Hi, friends.
S1 (01:59):
Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. A very
happy Friday to you. This is in the market with
Janet and Craig Parshall as it is on Fridays. Mr.
Craig Parshall joins us because, well, he's got a whole
lot between those two ears of his. First of all,
he's a wonderful attorney. He's been studying the law, applying
the law, defending the law, applying the law for decades.
(02:20):
But the best part of all of that is he
loves the law giver himself even more, and he is
a man of the word. He plumbs deep into the word,
and he knows how to apply the whole truth of
the whole gospel to the whole world around us. So
he's a pretty good fit on Friday, because that's basically
exactly what we do. We take a look at stories,
making headlines, and then we apply the straight stick of truth.
(02:42):
Dwight Moody said that brilliant word picture he called the
Word of God the straight stick of truth. And if
you know anything about carpentry, you always have to have
a straight stick, right? Measure twice, cut once. And you
need a metric. You need a plumb line so that
you can measure the crooked ideas out there. And the
Bible tells us that the world is filled with vain
and hollow philosophies, which is a pretty good working definition
(03:04):
of what a crooked idea is. So what we do
on Fridays is we take a look at some of
the ideas out there, and by applying the Word of
God to it, you and I get to determine whether
it is in fact straight or crooked. And that's what
we do. We go pretty fast. Keep your hands inside
the ride at all times, but we're going to take
a look at a whole bunch of issues, and we're
going to start with Israel. Why not? If you've been
(03:24):
paying attention to some graduation speakers this week, oh boy,
this is their 15 seconds of fame where they can
get up and berate Israel, promulgate lies, and speak about
a pro-Palestinian era ahead, and continue to chant from the
river to the sea. Free, free Palestine, which is a
nice little rhythmic nothingness, meaning except ideas have consequences. And
(03:46):
in fact, when you start looking at it, we should
point out the fact that the United Nations General Assembly
is trying to push now the implementation of a two
state solution, and that's something very important. The two state
solution due to be held in New York on June
17th through the 20th. So that's right around the corner.
So because we subscribe to the truth, the whole truth
(04:08):
and nothing but the truth, because we follow one whose
name is light, we're going to shine a little light
on what's going on out there. So in the meantime,
while all of these paid protesters are out there promulgating,
that's a lot of P's for alliteration. If you're following
this idea of a pro-Palestinian state, the genocide, the genocide
is being committed by Israel and that Palestine or the
(04:30):
Palestinian people are being, uh, horribly treated by the Israeli people. Well,
how about asking whether or not the leadership in the
Palestinian area, Gaza in particular, is willing to work for
a cease fire? Now, remember, they're not a government, they're
not a state, they're not a country. They are a
group of people being held hostage by terrorists. And it's
(04:51):
important that you understand that, that Palestinian people are suffering
terribly if you're on the X at all, and I'm
on there all the time. It's very interesting to watch
video that's being sent out, probably at the risk of
the person doing the sending, by the way, that's thanking America,
thanking President Trump, thanking them for the aid that's getting through.
And at the same time, you see an equal measure
(05:11):
of video taken under cover of the terrorists keeping the
aid from the people. So is it really Israel that's
doing this or is it the terrorist in Hamas? So
here's the latest news from Hamas as you're chanting free,
free Palestine. Hamas doesn't want freedom at all for Palestine.
They want to use it as a wedge against Israel. Well,
(05:34):
in the latest cease fire plan that's been put on
the table, surprise Hamas has again rejected. Here's more from
CBN's Chris Mitchell.
S6 (05:42):
Israeli troops push further into northern Gaza, warning civilians to
get out of harm's way U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff ceasefire
and hostage deal would reportedly lead to Hamas freeing ten
of the remaining living hostages in the first week of
the 60 day ceasefire. In exchange, Israel would free more
(06:04):
than 1000 Palestinian prisoners. A major sticking point Hamas wants
guarantees Israel won't return to fighting after the cease fire.
But Israel's prime minister says he wants the fighting to
resume and continue until Hamas is eliminated in Gaza. Meanwhile,
the Israeli government has made an historic decision to approve
(06:28):
22 new communities in the biblical heartland of the Jewish
nation Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.
This will help block Palestinians from forming a state in
this area. And according to Defense Minister Israel Katz, it
also provides a buffer for the nation's security. As he
(06:48):
put it, Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria serves as
a vital security barrier for Israel's major population centers. We
must do everything in our power to expand and reinforce
this protective shield. It was the first volley in the
government's effort to head off another unilateral move for a
(07:08):
Palestinian state by some Western powers, including France, next month,
France's president at a summit in New York City, will
push for most of the world to altogether recognize a
Palestinian state. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned that such
a declaration would reward the Hamas terrorists who committed the
(07:30):
October 7th atrocities. He added unilateral moves against Israel will
be met with unilateral Israeli measures.
S7 (07:38):
We will not get any dictates from outside with regard
to our national security.
S6 (07:45):
This fits with the Foreign Minister's statements this week that
if outside nations push to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state
in Judea and Samaria. Israel will respond by declaring sovereignty
over more and more of the area. Chris Mitchell CBN news, Jerusalem.
S1 (08:03):
So let me go to this push at the United
Nations for the so-called two state solution. My $0.02. This
is an opinion I wouldn't give you a nickel for
the United Nations. They've long outlived their usefulness. And there's
a huge solid Muslim bloc that continues to foment animosity
against the nation of Israel. As regards this conference coming
(08:23):
up June 17th through the 20th, it's being chaired by
Saudi Arabia and France, by the way. And according to
the two co-chairs, the aim of the conference is and
I'm quoting now to help end the occupation and materialize
the independent and sovereign state of Palestine. So this push
for Palestinian statehood is absolutely, unquestionably one sided, unrealistic. Untimely, dangerous.
(08:49):
A majority of UN state members, primarily the Islamic, Arab
and African groups, carefully orchestrated the United Nations General Assembly
resolutions calling for this conference. So it's a deliberate attempt
to further undermine the legal rights and security needs of
the Jewish state. The United States may vote against it.
We'll see whether or not this gets passed. But then
(09:10):
that raises the specter of all kinds of questions. If
you're going to call for a nation where the boundaries
of that nation and if you draw the boundaries inside
the sovereign nation of Israel, is this the United Nations
now declaring war on Israel? Got a lot to think
and pray about back after this. Life. Storms can make
(09:34):
us feel shipwrecked and lost. But there's wisdom in scriptures.
Most dramatic sea voyage in Mediterranean Sea Rules Robert Morgan
reveals powerful principles from Paul's shipwreck in the Book of Acts.
Ten biblical rules that will equip you to navigate life's
toughest waters with confidence and courage. As for your copy
of The Mediterranean Sea Rules, when you give a gift
of any amount to in the market, call 877. Janet 58.
That's 877 Janet 58. Or go to In the market
(09:57):
with Janet Parshall. And speaking of our truth tool, I
cannot believe that the month of May is almost over.
And I want to tell you that you've got today
and tomorrow and that's it then. This month's truth tool,
The Mediterranean Sea Rules by Robert Morgan, goes back on
the bookshelf and it becomes part of the history of
(10:17):
our truth tools for this program. Now, Robert is a
superb author, and so many of you who have gotten
his books concur with me. I know he loves the word.
He's a fabulous preacher of the word. He loves history,
he loves music, and he puts stories together like no
one I've ever heard. But then he applies it to
the Word of God. So this is really the third
of his rules book. He had the Red sea rules.
(10:37):
He had the Jordan River rules. Now he's got the
Mediterranean Sea rules. And every one of them focuses on
one part of Scripture and how we apply it to
the journey of our pilgrimage as a follower of Jesus Christ.
So obviously in the Red sea rules. You can see
you've got the enemy at the back. You've got challenges
in the front. How do you push forward then? The
(10:58):
Jordan River is you're about to step into a new experience.
Is God going to meet you there? Is. God got
ahead to prepare you and get you ready for that
new experience. The Mediterranean Sea Rules focuses in on acts
27 and 28, which is Paul's shipwreck, and it teaches us, hey,
every single one of us, we're going to have storms
in our life. How do we get safely through the storms?
By trusting the captain of our ship. It is a
(11:20):
fabulous book. Anything Robert Morgan writes is excellent, and it's
yours for a gift of any amount because we're listener
supported radio. So just call 8778877 Janet 58. Give a
gift of any amount. We're going to send you the
Mediterranean Sea rules as a way of saying thank you.
You can also give online at In the Market with
Janet Parshall. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click
(11:41):
on the cover of the book, make your donation and
likewise we'll send it to you. While you're there, you
might want to consider becoming a partial partner now. Yesterday.
Thursdays are always big days because that's the day my
partial partner gets our weekly newsletter, which includes writing by
me and an audio piece. Only my partial partners get
that and they always get the truth tool. So that's
(12:01):
my way of saying thank you. When you decide to
give every single month a level again at your own choosing.
But it's this constant financial support for the program that's
so very much appreciated. So 877 Janet. 58 877 Janet
58 or online at in the market with Janet Parshall. Okay. Craig,
today we're closing arguments in federal court on a case
(12:22):
called us versus Google. Tell me all about it.
S8 (12:25):
Federal court has already ruled that Google has maintained an
illegal monopoly. Now, for a lot of us, we think, okay, well,
that's sort of interesting, but what's the big deal? Well,
the big deal is this Google is the number one, uh,
controller of information and data on the entire internet. In
other words, out of all the companies and all the
(12:47):
apps and all the devices and all the computers that
all of us use all the time. Google controls more
information that we put in and that we receive than
any company on the face of the Earth. As a
matter of fact, the Federal Court found that Google has
nine times as much data of you, Janet and I,
(13:11):
and everybody else who has ever searched on that search
option that Google has. And by the way, 90% of
the human race prefers Google over its competitors because, quite frankly,
it is simply better because it has more data and
more information to give us. So when we search about, uh,
some historical fact, uh, Google's got better data than everybody else.
(13:34):
So what's the big problem with that? The big problem
is that it is also engaged in a race for
artificial intelligence. And they use our data to train artificial
intelligence to then get smarter so that I can help
Google to control what we see. What we don't see.
And perhaps to manipulate everything from our choices on clothing
(13:58):
or the next car we ought to buy, or how
we ought to vote in the next election. That's a
lot of power in the hands of one company that wants,
according to its origination. At the very beginning, the founders
of Google said they wanted to control the world's information.
I have a problem with that. If it's a monopoly,
because that means, uh, competitors may not apply.
S1 (14:21):
So why did The New York Times run the headline,
The Judge's data dilemma in the Google search case?
S8 (14:26):
Well, because right now they have to decide what they
do about this in the first part of the case.
By the way, this is not unusual in these big
monopoly antitrust cases. American antitrust law has been around since
the late 1800s. It simply says you cannot maintain an
illegal monopoly in the commercial sphere, particularly if it harms
(14:48):
consumer Suber, welfare prices, quality of services and elements like that.
So in order to have a free enterprise that's functioning
in a free market, you also have to have some
boundaries to that free market. So that one monopoly doesn't
rule the entire market. It's one thing when you're talking about,
let's say, a monopoly in refrigerators, which are important to
(15:11):
all of us, but information is 100 times more important
than that for a myriad of obvious reasons. So in
the first part of the case, they found whether or
not Google was an illegal monopoly in violation of the law.
And that's what the judge found. And I read his decision.
It is quite lengthy, it is very well documented, and
the evidence seems to be very strong. But now the
(15:33):
question is, how do we handle this? How do we
restore competition in the search function of Google running the world?
And that's where the court has a dilemma, because there
is really no nice remedy for the problem that of
Google's monopoly control of information and search there simply isn't,
(15:56):
because the AI race is going so fast that anything
this judge decides will probably be obsolete in a year
or two.
S1 (16:04):
Nobody's called any of these monsters of Silicon Valley a
monopoly yet, so until they're called one legally and identified
as such. Isn't this just sound and fury signifying nothing?
S8 (16:15):
Well, they have been determined to be a. Google has
an illegal monopoly in that federal judge. In this case,
meta is also being sued, and they're in court right now. Meta,
of course, used to go by the name of Facebook. Now,
meta is the general corporate name for that gigantic company
that runs Facebook, Instagram, messenger, WhatsApp, um, and of course,
(16:42):
they're also pursuing, uh, artificial intelligence of their own. So
they're also being charged with an illegal monopoly. There are
only a handful of these giant tech companies in Silicon
Valley that basically run the internet, and a couple of
them have already been charged with illegal monopolization. The question is,
what do we do about it? And that's the dilemma
(17:03):
this court faces.
S5 (17:05):
This is in the market.
S1 (17:06):
With Janet Parshall. Don't forget again, our truths tool expires
midnight on Saturday. If you don't have your copy of
the Mediterranean Sea Rules 877 Janet, 58 or online at
in the market with Janet parshall.org. We turn the page
another topic right after this. It's always take two. We
(17:32):
always like to take a look at AI and what's
going on in the world of tech. And it's a
great segue out of the story about this case regarding Google.
And it is talking about the weight that AI is
bringing to bear on our culture, not just nationally but globally.
And if you watch any of those thumbnails that pop
up when you're surfing YouTube, for example, there is so
(17:53):
much information out there about the quantum leaps forward that
they're making with AI. Quite frankly, a lot of it
is very unsettling. And you'll notice the wicked manipulation of language.
Buyer beware on this to call a robot a humanoid. What,
because it looks like a human? Because you decided to
strap on appendages to it. So you're going to pretend
it's a human to give it a name. A female name, uh,
(18:16):
to make it look like a dog. All of these
things to try to speak. The fact that these are
sentient beings, they're not. They are machines made by a
human being. So now you go to Nvidia, the big
player in this arena. They say it's largest general purpose
robot can now teach a humanoid machine using software entirely,
(18:38):
bypassing the months of motion caption sessions most rivals still
depend on. So the chipmaker unveiled something they called Groot Dreams. No,
you can't make that up. Hello, Galaxy, at this Computex
trade show. It took place last week in Taipei, and
they're pitching it as a shortcut that turns a single
photo into a short simulation video. And from there, into
(19:02):
the step by step instruction instructions, a robot needs to move.
In effect, engineers feed the robot. And this is their words,
not mine. This goes to my issue about manipulation of
language a quote dream reel instead of hours of recorded
factory walks cutting down developmental tile and costs. So, according
to the CEO in Nvidia, who sent out a press release,
(19:23):
physical AI and robotics will bring about the next industrial revolution.
Pulling out of the story, let me stop and say
and will cost millions of people their jobs. But you see,
the CEO of Nvidia is interested in lining his pockets.
Doesn't really care if the advancement of this technology takes
someone off an assembly line where he's no longer able
(19:45):
to put bread on his table. Back to the press release.
From the I brains for robots to simulated worlds to
practice in or AI supercomputers for training foundation models, Nvidia
provides building blocks for every stage of robotic development journey.
Sounds like a come on for a company, right? Buy
from us. We'll make you your robot. Nvidia's research team
claims the approach is already trimmed, training its previous Groot
(20:08):
models to 36 hours. Work that previously took three months
of live motion capture and annotation. The company generates the
footage inside its Omniverse and Cosmos simulator. It's the language here,
then runs the best trajectories through Cosmos Reason, which is
an AI filter that apparently tosses out awkward or impossible
(20:30):
moves before they ever reach a motor. In short, the
robot watches thousands of ultra realistic practice rounds that only
exist on a server, learns what succeeds, and steps onto
the factory floor already knowing not not know you. It
really doesn't know, does it? Reason? Does it use discernment?
Does it use higher level thinking skills? Is it critically
(20:51):
thinking quote learning okay. Exactly how they're supposed to be
able to do this. So uh, apparently again, uh, they're
saying this is an Nvidia talking. They're saying it's really
good because the age of generalist robotics has arrived with
breakthroughs in mechatronics, physical AI, and embedded computing just in
(21:13):
time as labor shortages limit worldwide industrial growth, labor shortages.
I thought people were out looking for jobs. Wow. So again,
a spokesperson for Nvidia said a major challenge for robot
makers is the lack of large scale, real and synthetic
data to train models. Human demonstrations aren't scalable, limited by
(21:36):
the numbers of hours in the day. There's more to
the story. Craig. Your thoughts so far?
S8 (21:41):
Well, look, the proponents of I everything, everywhere for everybody,
which is really the goal. Uh, and there's an excitement in,
you know, these, uh, computer engineers who are developing this
because obviously, um, it's, uh, a way of doing two
things very well, doing things faster than humans can in
(22:05):
terms of calculating, uh, calculating functions. And number two, uh,
in addition to speed, they can handle huge amounts of
data in that shorter period of time. So it's like
an adding machine. Uh, then suddenly we have handheld devices that, uh,
help us to add or subtract quicker. And then we
(22:29):
have computers that are even faster and handle more data
than the previous iterations of technology. And that's all wonderful,
but there's no dreaming going on here. They use words
that give us the impression those of us who are
not part of the technological elite that use the kind
of language that they use, who understand what algorithms are
(22:51):
and what, uh, certain, uh, cyber, uh, architecture really is.
Those are things that the average person like you and I,
we don't understand. So they use that language, and then
they want to translate it in appealing ways to the
rest of us. So they use words like, these machines
can dream. No, they really can't. What they're doing is
finding a more concise way to train these machines, that
(23:17):
is to say, to set up some coding, some programs
for it to do what it does faster and better
and figure out problem solving. But all of this is
because a human being has inputted this data, has created
an algorithm, a computer code, to be able to make
all of this work inside the machine. There's no thinking,
(23:38):
there's no dreaming going on. Um, and certainly there's no
human cognition or consciousness going on. They'd like you to
think so, because their master plan is to, well, basically
mechanize everything through robotics, through artificial intelligence. And the one
industry that they say will not be impacted, interestingly and ironically,
(24:01):
is the computer engineers operating this.
S1 (24:04):
Yeah, right. Self-preservation. By the way, you drop this contextually
into the issue of geopolitics. How many times have we
talked with Bill gates about China's declaration that as soon
as 2027, they're going to take over Taiwan? Nvidia is
going to be a very interesting part to play in
all of that. When China says we're taking over the world,
so are they going to use this technology back after this?

twice a week? Every day. If this program is valuable

(24:58):
market with Janet Parshall.
S5 (25:03):
So let's turn our attention.
S1 (25:04):
To the insanity that's taken up residency here in the
United States, where somewhere along the line we decided that
a man isn't a man, but a woman isn't a woman.
And basically, you can decide to be anything you want.
And if you live in New York State, apparently you
have over 92 options to choose from. And I'm sure
that list is growing as we speak. But here's the
reality you are born a male or you are born
(25:26):
a female. Put aside the birth anomalies there. That is
not someone choosing at all. That's genetic coding that took
place in utero. So we're talking about being born a man,
being born a woman. But rather than viewing this as
the mental illness that it is. Rather than looking at
the person who's struggling on how they're trying to identify themselves.
(25:47):
In fact, if you have to self-identify, that's your first
red flag, that there's a problem. Identity is pretty self-evident.
Just look in the bathroom mirror. But now what we've
got are people who are making demands, demanding civil rights.
You've got the back of that sail wind that blows forward,
saying that this is a quote, an immutable, which means
unchangeable in the law characteristic. It is not. It does
(26:10):
not get protected class status. Although there are states in
this country right now who are trying to act like
they have somehow special rights. So the reality is that
in the process of moving for special rights, this entire
trans ideology, and that's what it is, it is not
a medical diagnosis. It is an ideology. It is hurting
(26:31):
girls sports. Now, I think this is a hugely important issue.
Over 50 years ago, title nine was passed, added to
that panoply of protections. We've got that basically said girls
should have a level playing field just like a boy
when it comes to sports, and we honored and protected that.
And as a result, several girls went on to get
scholarship money, had the thrill of having their character molded
(26:53):
and shaped through athletics by competing with other girls, learned
what it meant to be a team member, learned what
playing fair and good sportsmanship was all about. And there
isn't a person who got a girl who got involved
in sports who can't say that wasn't beneficial to me. Well,
now the tables have been flipped, and now we've got
men who are cheating, who have decided that they're going
to call themselves a girl, and now they're going to
(27:15):
compete against girls, even though they're a boy immediately out
of the gate, they have a biological advantage. Their heart
is larger, their lungs are bigger, their muscles are stronger,
their bones are denser. Um, there there are. Despite the
people who have put on blinders and pretended that they would, quote,
do what's right in their own eyes. There are biological distinctions,
(27:36):
and it is why all of these times that there's
a trans. Do you know any new stories so far
where the trans has come in second or third place,
the trans always wins, right? Because the trans is a
man competing against girls. I give you what's going on
at La Canada High School in California. There's a young
woman there by the name of Katie McGuinness and she
wants to win. CIF. Now CIF is the California Interscholastic Federation.
(28:00):
It's the governing body for high school sports in California.
And it includes both public and private schools. So Katie,
very much, by the way, wants to compete and wants
to win in the long jump. Katie got on national
TV recently and she had this to say.
S9 (28:16):
It's really such an honor to be here. And I
also just want to preface by saying I have nothing
against this athlete as a person, and I have nothing
against the trans community. My message today is really, um,
specifically to CIF and for them to act quickly and
in a timely manner, because this is a very time
sensitive issue and girls every day are losing their spot
(28:40):
due to biological boys beating out biological girls. And to
go back to your question, um, I tried to keep
my focus last Saturday and kind of treat it like
any other normal meet. Um. However, on my third jump,
I watched AB, uh do their jump and the numbers
(29:01):
on the screen lit up to 19ft, two inches, which
was the furthest mark of that day. And I just
remember thinking to myself, okay, I need to get a
big jump. And so normally something typical that long jump
athletes will do is they start a clapping sequence kind
of to gain momentum from the crowd and kind of
(29:22):
feel the rhythm of the jump. And um, so I
did that and I ran down the runway and I
landed and I watched them measure my mark. And it
was 1809. And I just remember thinking that there was
nothing else that I could do, that that was it.
And I was honestly very discouraged. And, you know, I'm
a high school senior and, um, you know, winning a
(29:46):
CIF has always been a goal of mine. And, um,
I just I wasn't able to compete with someone who
is genetically different than me.
S1 (29:55):
Brilliant, articulate, truthful. Abby Hernandez is the fella that won.
She ends up coming in second place. He jumps 19ft
two inches. She jumps 18ft nine inches. Now, there are
a lot of people that are speaking out about this
in California, and I'm very glad one of them happens
to be the mayor pro tem of that particular city. Clovis,
(30:16):
California is the epicenter now in this political battle over
trans athletes in girls sports. And so the town is
set to host a track meet, uh, and they're very
interested in what's going on. This track meet, by the way, uh,
is supposed to take place. I think it's this weekend. Uh,
and Diane Pierce is the town's mayor pro tem. She's
(30:39):
been actively lobbying to make the administration here in Washington
aware of the situation for weeks, and she got her
fellow local officials involved. Here's the mayor. Have a listen.
S10 (30:50):
When President Trump posted his information on social media on Tuesday,
that just kind of ignited everyone's interest and put a
spotlight on it, which fortunately, it kind of helped galvanize
people and encouraged the effort and people to show up
to support girls and their spaces and supports. The attention
that this has gotten has already put pressure on CIF.
(31:10):
We already know that Governor Newsom earlier this year said
that he believes that boys competing against girls is deeply unfair.
So we're looking for those in those leadership roles. CIF again,
the updates that they've done, these last minute adjustments they've made,
all it really does is underscore the fact that they
can acknowledge that biological girls have been cheated out of
opportunities that they've earned. That's why they're making these adjustments
(31:33):
to try and include more girls as qualifying and try
to include more biological girls as placing in these events.
So that's really the key here, is to continue to
put that pressure on CIF, on our state legislature that's
had opportunities to rectify the situation and chosen not to act,
and to Governor Newsom to say you're the adults who
have the control over this. I have I expect people
(31:56):
to treat this athlete with compassion. I think, unfortunately, that again,
the failures of the adults who set these policies have
created this situation.
S1 (32:08):
Craig, your thoughts on this?
S8 (32:09):
Yeah, that last comment is very insightful. The bottom line is,
if you're looking for the top and the bottom line
on who's really responsible, it's the adults making policy, refusing
to acknowledge the reality of the biological differences, physiological differences between, uh,
female uh, sports and male sports at the high school
(32:31):
and even in the college level. Um, it lays at
their feet this responsibility. But what I find entirely bewildering
is this issue now has been going on for a
number of years. That is the the transgender, um, position
and movement trying to force its way into sports, into
(32:52):
business and into politics and into education. But let's take sports.
Where is the feminist movement that supposedly was opposing discrimination
against women when the the equality between man and woman activities,
let's say, in the employment field? Uh, they the feminist
(33:14):
movement was very vocal about the fact that females shouldn't
be treated as second class citizens if they could do
the same work and the same way and the same
quality and under the same circumstances as men. And yet
now we see a distinct discrimination against biological women by
having biological men beating them in sports, where it's obvious
(33:36):
that you're going to have a discriminatory effect on women's sports.
Where are they? I'm not seeing the voices coming out. Uh,
you know, the the month or year of rage from
the feminists when all the rest of us can see
it is blatant, uh, mistreatment and discrimination against biological females
in a sport. Any sport should be based on, on
(33:59):
fair competition, not unfair competition.
S1 (34:02):
Well, and the feminist voices that are speaking out are
female lesbian athletes who are supporting the trans community. So
they're viewing this as a sexual orientation issue. They're not
viewing this as a fairness issue. But I find it
interesting that you have a lot of very professional athletes. Uh,
Aaron Rodgers, Tim Tebow and others have said it is
(34:23):
absolutely unfair to have girls competing against boys, and boys
shouldn't be competing against girls. So I appreciate the fact
that this mayor, uh, in Clovis, California, has really come
out vocally and said, look, this has got to stop. Now,
what I find interesting is that there could be pushback
on the federal level. Schools need money. Start with that understanding, principal.
They need money. They take federal money. They'll get state
(34:45):
money at the federal level. This is why there's so
much conversation here in Washington, D.C.. It seems to me
that through the Department of Education and through the Department
of Justice, you could say that what the CIF, the
California Interscholastic Federation might be doing is trampling on the
rights of these girl athletes and litigation could in world
(35:06):
to find out about these little local matches, but they
become national headlines every time, every time it happens. And
also there's a second component on the every time it happens.
Somewhere in that mix is a very brave young woman
who's willing to step forward and say, I will not
compete against someone who's not my gender. The fencing world
was changed dramatically when that female fencer took a knee
(35:29):
and said, I respect you greatly. Sorry, this is a
girl's fencing match. I will not fence against you. When
Katie got up and got on national news and talked
about the fact that she's not going to compete against
somebody who's not the same gender, it takes someone very strong.
Riley Gaines, obviously is the most famous for this, because
she spoke out against Mr. Thomas beating her. And as
(35:50):
a result of that, the stage got set. Now there's
so much more to the story. I want to get
some more of your take on this when we return.
So this is not a small issue. This is becoming
a bigger and bigger issue because the undercurrent of this,
even if you're not interested in sports, is are we
creating a false category of protected civil rights for people
who decide one day they're trapped in the wrong body?
If you're going to do that, what other civil rights
(36:12):
are we going to apply out there back after this?
So we were talking about the situation in California. But
trust me, this is not localized to one state by
(36:33):
any stretch of the imagination. Let me turn your attention
to what's happening in the state of Minnesota. Here's how
the Minnesota Star Tribune put it. The Champlin Park softball team,
perennial bridesmaids for most of the past decade, finally scaled
a hump that had grown mountainous, leaning on the right
arm of lanky junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger to defeat Rogers
one to zip in the class Four-a section five championship Thursday.
(36:56):
Except one little problem Marissa is a man. And so
this man, by the way. And if you want to
count numbers and you're interested, if you've ever seen girls
softball the fast, underhand pitch that they do, a man
single handedly carried out this championship. He pitched 14 shutout
innings back to back games, 14 shutout innings. And he's
(37:19):
got long hair and a ponytail. But he's a boy.
And so this really raises the specter again of cheating.
Now if I were on playing for Rogers and we
got bit one zip because the pitcher was a man.
It's girls softball. There's a completely different form of pitching
based on the physiology of girls. So this is not
(37:41):
civil rights. This is cheating, plain and simple. And if
I were the parent of that trans child, I would
hang my head because I would be very aware of
the fact that my son had to cheat his way
into girls sports to win. I would also then get
him counseling. Craig, your thoughts?
S8 (37:56):
Well, it isn't just a young man, uh, playing against girls.
It's a six foot young man. Um, size matters when
you're a pitcher in terms of the speed of that pitch,
whether it's overhand or underhand. Uh, and just one more
example of how sports has become politicized by the trans movement. Uh,
(38:19):
they don't care about fairness. They don't care about fair competition, uh,
or rules of equality in terms of grades. Let's say
this what if you had a high school team And, uh,
they're forced to play against a college team. Now, most
of us would say, well, that's that's an unfair advantage.
(38:40):
But what if you said, well, uh, we think it's
appropriate for college students and high school students to test
the competitive attitude and skill set of each of them.
So seniors will compete against freshmen and sophomore college students.
You have, uh, weight limits in wrestling for a reason.
(39:04):
You have weight limits as well, in terms of boxing
and other sports. You have guardrails to make sure that
the competition is fair in a very basic, fundamental way.
And yet, right now, these rules are being thrown out
at a point where kids in high school and high
school sports should be learning the idea of fairness, rather
(39:28):
than seeing it betrayed in there in front of their
very eyes during a competition.
S1 (39:34):
So the Minnesota Star Tribune ran a headline that said
Minnesota softball player Sue Keith Ellison State High School League
over transgender athlete policy. So apparently there's an organization called
True North Legal. They're the organization that's leading the lawsuit
against Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League for
allowing this madness to continue. If you go now to
(39:56):
the Minnesota Star Tribune, they have scrubbed all references to
this story on their social. So, again, what's also insidious
to me is the mom. This is why there's definitely
mental illness in this story. So apparently this is something
that Redux pointed out when Rothenberger. While Rothenberger has participated
in girls sports from an early age and has never
(40:17):
publicly stated that he identifies as transgender. Redux has obtained
documents showing that his mother, Heather Rothenberger, applied to the
Hennepin County District Court to alter his birth certificate shortly
after his ninth birthday. So the mom was facilitating the
delusion of her nine year old son. The petition was approved.
(40:39):
This is how it works in Minnesota, folks. The petition
was approved. Rothenberger was issued a new birth certificate showing
that he was born female and altering his name from
Charlie Dean. That's who pitched Charlie Dean to Marissa. Minnesota
is one of the many states where altered birth certificates
don't need to signify that the original document was altered.
So there's so much in the story that's absolutely unbelievable.
(41:02):
So I'm going to be watching with great interest to
see if North True North Legal comes out victorious on this,
suing the state uh, AG and also the Minnesota State
High School Association because it's cheating.
S8 (41:16):
Birth certificates are important legal documents. You need them for
a wide variety of reasons. Um, but now you're permitting.
In fact, you're encouraging the falsification of information on birth
certificates about the actual sexual DNA and genetics of somebody
(41:36):
who's born. Now, how many other government documents are we?
Are we going to change based on somebody's subjective idea
of how they imagined themselves, as opposed to the reality
of who they are?
S1 (41:50):
I find it troublesome that this young man, apparently, according
to Redux, didn't start identifying as a transgender. So what
in the world of common sense makes him think that
he can put on a uniform and just go play
with the girls because he feels like it?
S8 (42:04):
Well, you raised an important point. Facilitated by the mother and.
S1 (42:10):
The school.
S8 (42:10):
District and the school district. So at what point do
you say, you know, if there are laws and there
are laws in all 50 states against child neglect and
child abuse, but it is a form of child abuse
for the school district and the parent to facilitate the delusion. Unfortunately,
(42:30):
we have a culture and we have movements, political and
social movements like the trans industry. And it's an industry,
by the way, because now we have some of the
medical professionals who are making money off transition procedures, making
money on it, supporting and encouraging this. And we have
television programs who are teaching children. You ought to really
(42:51):
question whether you're a boy or a girl, regardless of
what your genetics are and your biology. So at what
point do we call foul and say, there is such
a thing as truth and falsity, and we're not going
to propagate falsity and we're not going to endure it,
we're certainly not going to be required to participate and
support it.
S1 (43:10):
Well, let me go out again and identify the heroes
in these stories. So Abby Hernandez is a boy competing
against Katie McGinnis, a girl. He won first place at
the semi-finals last weekend. Now they've got an upcoming girls
track and field competition in Clovis. this and I have
to tell you again, several lawmakers in the Central Valley
are calling for Hernandez to be removed from the competition.
(43:33):
And I want to give a shout out to, again,
the Clovis Clovis Mayor Pro Tem, Diane Pearce, when she says, quote,
there is a distraction that hangs like a cloud over
this weekend's events. Allowing boys into girls sports puts their achievements,
opportunities and even safety at risk. And the lawmakers brought
up the proposed Senate Bill 622, which would segregate sports
(43:54):
programs based on the pupil sex at birth. This story
is not over yet, but I really do recognize and
thank God for the heroes in this story as we
continue for another hour. Hope you can join us. If not,
