Maine's transgender policies have cast the state into an unwelcome national spotlight, creating ripple effects that reach from schoolyards to prison cells and ultimately into living rooms of everyday families like mine. The federal government recently pulled $1.5 million in funding from Maine's Department of Corrections over its policy allowing transgender inmates to be housed according to their gender identity rather than biological sex.
At the center of this controversy is a biological male who murdered his parents, now identifying as female and housed in a women's prison. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the federal government's position clear: "We will protect women in prison. We will protect women in sports. We will protect women throughout this country." Meanwhile, Maine's governor – ironically, the state's first female governor – continues implementing policies that fail to protect women and girls.
What makes this policy debate personal for me is how it directly impacts my family. My brother, who has spent over ten years incarcerated and is nearing release, was set to receive four months in a halfway house to help him transition back to society. Due to these funding cuts, his prison sentence has been extended, and his rehabilitation program cut in half. The harsh reality: political decisions about gender identity are having real-world consequences for rehabilitation programs designed to help people rebuild their lives.
The situation mirrors broader concerns throughout the state, including reports that dozens of Maine schools are hiding students' gender plans from parents. When policies prioritize ideology over practical considerations about safety, security, and family involvement, vulnerable populations often pay the price – whether they're women in prisons, girls in sports, or inmates seeking rehabilitation. I firmly support protecting women's safety and opportunities.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
My home state, the state of Maine, continues to be
in the national spotlight, andfor all the wrong reasons.
At this point, I reallyshouldn't be surprised.
But today on Share the StrugglePodcast, we are going to
discuss a transgender murderousincarceration and how it has
(00:22):
cost the Maine Department ofCorrections $1.5 million in
funding, and I share with youthe close and personal impact it
has on my family.
Let me tell you somethingEverybody struggles.
The difference is some peoplechoose to go through it and some
(00:42):

The choice is completely yours.
Which one you choose will havea very profound effect on the
way you live your life.
If you find strength in thestruggle, then this podcast is
for you.
Do you have a relationship thatis comfortable with
(01:05):
uncomfortable conversations?
Uncomfortable conversationschallenge you, humble you and
they build you.
When you sprinkle a little timeand distance on it, it all
makes sense.
Most disagreements, they stemfrom our own insecurities.
You are right where you need tobe what it do, what it has did

Good Lord, almighty, am I soexcited to be back with you?
Oh, it's true, it is damn true.

Loud Proud American, perfectlyprecisely accurately named Share
the Struggle.
Because we said time and timeagain, everybody struggles.

Because there is strength ineverybody's story, in
everybody's struggle.
We just need to be bold andbeautiful enough to share it.
And today we are together yetagain, sharing another fabulous
struggle.
Okay, this one's going to getpersonal, it's going to get wild
, it's going to go national.
(02:51):
That's what we have on taptoday For episode 248, that
means for 248 consecutive weekswe've been gathering together as
friends and community Community.
I like that word y'all.
I like breaking down the wordcommunity To me.
When I hear community and it'sused in the right sense, I like
(03:14):
to break it down, cut it in half, chop it up and consider it
common unity, community, commonunity.
When we have a common groundand we are gathered together
with common sense and commonbeliefs, all things are possible
and anything shall be achieved.
We are building a beautifulcommunity, a positive tribe with
(03:36):
a positive vibe.
I appreciate each and every oneof you that have been tuning in,
been listening, been hangingout and jamming out with us
since day one.
If you are an original, if youare an OG, if you're one of my
day ones, I acknowledge you andI ask you, wherever you are
right now, get your ones up, beacknowledged, be showered with
praise and love and appreciation.
(03:57):
I thank you for being a loyalone from day one.

If today happens to be your dayone, then welcome.
And I appreciate you for takingthe time and granting me the
opportunity to share somestories with you and I truly

If y'all get something goodfrom today's show, something
(04:18):
positive from the show, please,please, please let me know.
Share the show, help it grow.
That is what we are here to doto grow the community with some
common unity.
Unity that was an old Rick Jamesbit, wasn't it?
Dave Chappelle show.
I want to say Unity.
(04:39):
I think it was.
Maybe it was Prince, I don'tknow.
I don't remember man, but forsome reason that one was in the
back of my Prince, I don't know,I don't remember man, but for
some reason that one was in theback of my head.
I apologize.
Things just come to me, okay.
Noises, impersonations, randomtwitches they just happen.
They just come to me, it justhappens, okay.
Just like episodes of thepodcast just come to me.
(05:00):
And it's crazy to me how thedots always tend to connect the
sentences just finish each other.
All right, we finish eachother's sentences.
That's what happens when we'reso close and together and share
the same menstrual cycle.
That was awkward, I will admitthat was awkward.
(05:21):
Okay, I started the show offthe little B-roll, the intro,
the credits of the show bysaying Maine, my home, state, me
home, okay is continuing tohave the national spotlight shed
upon thee for all the wrongreasons.
(05:41):
A few weeks ago, maybe a monthago, we had an episode on here
where we talked about ourgovernor going to the White
House and embarrassing our state.
We had an in-depth conversationon how, mind you, our first
female governor for the state ofMaine refuses to protect
(06:02):
females in the state that sherepresents Because our mind you,
first female governor emphasisplaced here again on female
governor is allowing transgenderathletes to compete against
girls, allowing transgenderathletes to share locker rooms
with girls, to make our young,beautiful girls in this state
(06:26):
vulnerable, to take away theirsafety, to rob them of their
securities and to take away manyopportunities.
On that episode we discussedhow a transgender athlete so
this boy who was competing Ithink it was in cross country or
high jump or I don't know whatthe hell it was, I can't
(06:47):
remember now I'm too fired upabout it A year previous
finished fifth competing againstfellow boys in high school, but
this year decides I'm a girland I shall compete against the
girls, wins first place, setsrecords and literally just
dominates the competition, as wewould expect.
(07:08):
Now this whole platform hasreally taken off, let's say it
seems to be something that isgetting the microscope of
mainstream media to really digon it, because our president
signed an executive order whichmonths ago, I discussed on the
podcast by saying with greatexcitement how happy I was, how
(07:31):
pleased I was being a new fatherof a baby girl.
Yes, being one of those girldads, I was on here expressing
how proud I was to watch ourpresident sign an executive
order protecting women's rights,protecting women's sports,
surrounded by young women intheir jerseys, their soccer
uniforms, their softballuniforms, their track and field
(07:54):
uniforms, cheerleading outfits,all of these girls surrounding
the president as he signs in anexecutive order protecting women
athletes.
He did that.
I relished in that.
We celebrated that.
We acknowledged that.
Very quickly after that, a Mainerepresentative notifies Fox
News that Maine has atransgender athlete destroying
(08:18):
the record books for women'ssports here in our state.
President Trump asked ourgovernor about it and it turns
into a pissing match, or shallwe say a dick measuring
competition at the White House,which results in our excuse of a
governor challenging thepresident and saying I'll see
(08:39):
you in court, threatening to suethe president, which results in
we are going to remove yourfunding if you do not fall in
line with federal law andprotect the women and girls of
your state.
Just do the right thing anopportunity before you to stand
(09:07):
up and say I, as the firstfemale governor of the state of
Maine, will stand on the side ofwomen, on girls, and protect
them.
Women of all ages.
We're talking little girls insports.
We're talking young women inhigh school.
We're talking professionalwomen, whether it's college
professional sports.
Whatever you have theopportunity to unite, it's
college, professional sports.
Whatever you have theopportunity to unite to be the
one that says, as the firstfemale governor, I am going to
(09:29):
stand up and protect women.
Period in my state period.
Instead, let's defy federalorder, let's forego the
protections, the securities ofwomen in this state, of girls in
this state.
Let's leave them vulnerable andunprotected and often scared.
I am going to allow transgenderathletes to compete and to rob
(09:54):
these women of theiropportunities.
Full disclosure I'm going tobring you into the Liberty
Kitchen and share a discussionthat I was having with my lovely
wife Allie about future me.
When little Paisley is ablossoming young athlete and
(10:14):
she's competing in sports, howwould I feel and how would I
react?
If a little transgender boy iscompeting against my daughter in
sports and the conclusion thatwe arrived at is I am going to
approach it like this If a boycan compete against my daughter
(10:39):
in a sport, then I am going towrestle that boy's mother in a
steel cage.
It's only fair.
This is what you would call an80-20-90-10 scenario, meaning
80-90% of the populationbelieves that transgenders do
(11:00):
not belong in women's sports.
I am going to again, as Ialways do, throw the cautionary
statement.
I will give the full frontalconfessional I have nothing
against transgenders, I havenothing invested.
I do not care what your sexualpreference and beliefs and how
(11:20):
you're looking at things.
How you feel it's okay.
You do you.
If you feel like you need totransition and you are a
full-grown adult, that's makingthe able-bodied mind decision
that you want to transition, youdo you.
I'm not holding you back.
It has no impact on me in mylife.
The only impact on me in mylife is when you decide that
(11:44):
it's right to compete against mydaughter, when you decide that
it's right for you to have alevel playing field with another
female in a competitive sport.
That is no longer right in myopinion.
I wholeheartedly struggle withan adolescent.
I struggle with a child or anadolescent making the final
(12:06):
decision that they want totransition.
I don't think that anybody shyof being an adult should have
the ability to make thatdecision.
And, to be honest, how manyadults should be making final
decisions?
Let's look around the room alittle bit here to analyze this.
But what I believedwholeheartedly, convictions I
(12:31):
had as a child, as a high schoolstudent, as an 18-year-old, a
35-year-old and a 40-year-oldthey're different, right,
they're vastly different If Ihad made final decisions as a
middle schooler or as a highschool student on my sexual
(12:52):
gender and preference.
If I made those decisions, Ican't stand here today and tell
you that I would feel the sameway, right's?
Let's be honest, how manydecisions did you make as a
child, as a youth, as anadolescent, that you are 1000
percent behind today?
(13:12):
I don't think it's safe foryoung people adolescents,
children to have final say inthose things.
Some things just take time andall of us struggle with our
bodies and our beliefs, and I'mno professional.
So I'm not here throwing stonesand casting doubts.
(13:33):
I'm just telling you that Ithink some things need to take a
little time to work out.
That's a whole differentsubject, a whole different story
.
I'm just here to say I supportyour beliefs and how you feel,
(14:05):
but I hope you can support thatwe all truly feel.
80 to 90% of the population feelit's not fair for you to be a
male, biological male with malechromosomes, competing against
little girls or fellow femaleathletes.
You're putting them at adisadvantage, you're robbing
them of opportunities, you'retaking away goals, hopes, dreams
and aspirations, and that's notright.
We're seeing on a day-to-daybasis, new stories come up.
There's going to be trials,starting about a young girl.
I believe it was in volleyballor basketball who now has
life-altering injuries becauseof facing a transgender athlete.
(14:27):
These things I just don't knowhow we continue to fight about
them.
It was an absoluteembarrassment for me to see that
my state was taking the lowroad on this and defending this
scenario and robbing women,little girls, of their
opportunities.
(14:47):
It disgusts me.
It absolutely disgusts me.
I was proud to see PresidentTrump take a stand and say well,
we will rob your state offederal funding because you do
not deserve it, because you'renot protecting females.
Again, let's put the emphasison the first female governor not
protecting females.
(15:07):
None of this makes sense to me.
This does not add up to me.
This is an absolute disgrace.
If you ask me Now, I do believethe latest update is that my
state has until Friday.
So when this episode drops,I'll have a couple of days to
buck up and follow suit or thisis going to court.
(15:29):
Now I've also learned that theUS Department of Education has
also launched a separate probedigging into allegations that
dozens of school districts arehiding students' gender plans
from their parents.
So if we roll back the onion alittle bit, push the snowball
(15:52):
back uphill.
A few minutes ago we weretalking about a child making
life-altering decisions.
If you were responsible at ageeight to make a decision that
impacted the rest of your life,how would you feel about it?
If you had the ability tochange your sexual identity at
age 10, would you regret it now?
Any of those things, thosethoughts, those conversations?
(16:15):
Do you at all feel that yourparents have the right to know
that you are questioning thosethings?
Do they have the right to know?
Do you think that parents wouldwant to know, would want to
have those things?
Do they have the right to know?
Do you think that parents wouldwant to know, would want to
have those conversations?
I do believe the answer wouldbe yes.
You would think that yourparents are entitled to know you
would hope they're good enoughparents that they would want to
(16:35):
know and they would be there tohelp their child the fact that
schools in Maine dozens of them,are under investigation from
the US Department of Educationthat they are hiding students'
gender plans from parents.
So you can have a student.
Let's just say you have a, Idon't know.
(16:55):
Let's make something up here,folks.
Let's get creative.
Going to a guidance counselorand expressing that they've been
watching on TV, whatever thiscertain program is, and they're
now interested in exploringbeing a little girl.
They feel like they should be alittle girl.
(17:15):
This guidance counselor isgoing to help them, is going to
counsel them and support them intheir decision, because they
made the decision that they wantto be a little girl.
We're going to help them andwe're going to encourage them.
Let's think about anotherexample for you.
Let's say a 12-year-old girlgoes to the guidance counselor
(17:35):
and says I want to be a boy.
There's a boy trapped inside ofme.
I need to be a boy.
That guidance counselor isgoing to support them, instruct
them and in many cases we'rehearing in Maine, they're going
to provide them with theseadvanced athletic supporter type
bras to hide and suppress andcompress their whatever
(18:01):
developed breast at this pointto make them appear more like a
boy.
The school's providing thesethings, they're assisting in
these things and they feel thatit is not the parents' right to
know these conversations arehappening.
They feel it is not theparents' right to know that
their little girl is gettingdropped off at school and being
acknowledged and recognized andacting as a boy the entire time
(18:25):
they're at school.
It's not their right to knowthat it's not their right to
know, that they're droppinglittle boys off and they are
making the decision at school tobe girls and they're allowed in
the girls' locker room, they'reallowed to change with girls
and compete against girls.
Does any of this stuff soundnormal to you?
Because this just seems asinine.
(18:47):
This just seems like this ismade up.
This is science fiction.
Nothing about this seems real.
Who in their right freakingmind makes the decision that a
school decides they have therights to deny the parents of a
child the ability to know thattheir child is questioning their
own sexual preference, that achild is questioning their own
(19:10):
gender, their identity?
These are things that need tobe discussed.
This is absolutely absurd.
To number one, hide theseconversations.
To number two, encourage theirtransition.
To number three support themand provide things to them to do
so.
This is mind-blowing.
This is a massive problem inour state.
(19:31):
So not only by Friday, there'sour governor who is going to
take this to court.
The deadline is going to slippast.
Maine's going to lose fundingover this.
She's also hiding these schoolsin Maine that are denying
parents the right to know abouttheir child's gender plans.
(19:51):
This is out of control to me.
This doesn't make any sense tome and, if you're asking me,
maine deserves to have allfunding for its schools to be
removed and regardless of theconsequences that are going to
fall on the innocent.
It needs to happen becausewithout the sacrifices, none of
this gets worked out, and girls'safety deserves to be worked
(20:17):
out.
Sacrifice is worth the safety.
It needs to happen and I'm hereand saying it's okay if my
state has to be sacrificed forthe betterment of young girls,
their safety, their hopes,dreams, aspirations and
opportunities.
This whole thing is absolutelyinsane to me.
(20:39):
It takes another turn yet againtoday.
This morning, old Papa Bearright here hanging out with the
beautiful little Paisley Rain.
I'm giving her her morning.
Bubba, she's getting ready fora nice nap.
We started off watchingcartoons.
Dad switched it over to FoxNews, little baby girl starting
(21:00):
to fall asleep.
I'm enjoying a coffee and justgetting ready for whatever the
day is about to bring, andduring that time I watch an
interview with Attorney GeneralPam Bondi as she makes the
statement that the United Statesgovernment is withholding $1.5
million from the maincorrectional facilities.
(21:21):
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
I'm going to blow the podcastwhistle here for one memento.
If you please, I'm going topause where we're at and I'm
going to interject and draw theparallels between this story and
a personal connection.
I need to share some importantinformation with you.
If I wanted to draw thisepisode out and do things for
(21:46):
pause and dramatic effect, Iwould save this tidbit for the
end.
But I want you to understandthe personal connection, the
parallels in this conversationso that you understand and
process them.
As we move through the details,I'm going to set the scene,
paint the picture and pave theroad for the story that's about
(22:06):
to be told.
If you're a day one, if you'vebeen listening, if you've been
following along, understandingmy story, my life, my struggle,
my journey, you would know thatmy family comes from a Brady
Bunch scenario.
My father had five childrenbefore meeting my mother.
My mother had one child beforemeeting my dad.
My mother had one child beforemeeting my dad.
(22:29):
Now, to sprinkle layers ofdisappointment on my life, one
of my dad's sons the oldestsibling to me, who was one of
the closest to me he passed awayto cancer.
Another one of my dad's boyspassed away with Alzheimer's,
dementia and some brain trauma.
My parents and I were takingcare of him in the last years of
his life.
That leaves one boy and twogirls who have since disowned me
(22:53):
and my mother and we have noassociation with each other.
My mother's only child, a boy,who was the youngest one closest
to me that's a really horribleway of me explaining that.
He was the next closest in ageto me.
He was 10 years older than me.
He was an idol and a role modelto me as a child and he, very
(23:17):
young in life, made decisions tochoose and prioritize drugs
over family, drugs overopportunity, drugs over all
things in his life, and it hascost him a great deal of his
life.
I've seen more of his kidsgrowing up than he has.
There's been a lot of reallypiss, poor choices in his life
(23:38):
that he's had to pay for andhe's missed on a lot of highs
and lows in life.
He's missed his kids growing up.
He's missed their high schoolgraduations.
He's missed so many firsts intheir lives.
He's also missed a lot of lastsin people's lives.
He was not here with me to saygoodbye to our grandparents as
(23:58):
they passed.
He wasn't here to say goodbyeto siblings as they passed or to
be here with us as we saygoodbye to my father as he
passed.
He's missed out on so so manythings.
My brother has been in prison solong.
He's never met my wife.
They've had conversations.
They've never met in person.
He's never seen my little girl.
(24:19):
My brother has beenincarcerated longer than my wife
and I have been together.
We have been an item for over10 years now and they've never
met.
So my brother's actuallygetting close to his release
date.
His sentence is coming up thisyear and he is going to
(24:41):
transition to a halfway houselike rehab facility after prison
.
So he would get out of prisonand then he would be brought to
this halfway house.
That would help him to adjustto normal life.
That would help him adjust tosociety, give him some of the
(25:02):
tools he needs.
It's a four month long programto help him get on his feet.
Think about some of the thingsin this life that he's missed.
Think about some of the thingsin this world that have changed
right.
So much has changed If we lookat the opioid epidemic in this
world right now.
If my brother has been inprison for over 10 years and
(25:23):
he's been a lifelong drug addict, if he were to come out and
attempt some of the drugs thatare on the street today.
It would kill him.
Right?
He's going to come out to aworld that was free of iPhones
before he went in.
Think about the technology andthe advancements.
Think about the cost of living.
He went in jail when aone-bedroom apartment in the
(25:46):
city was $400 or $500 a month.
Let's say, think about thatsame apartment's probably $2,000
a month right now.
Think about all these things.
Right?
So for him to be incarceratedfor over 10 years?
He has also, at this point,spent more time of his life
behind bars than on the otherside of bars.
(26:08):
He's experienced more lifebehind bars than in the sunshine
.
Right?
He has spent most of his lifeincarcerated because he's been a
lifelong criminal in and out ofprison.
I've been through the ups anddowns, the letdowns of getting
my hopes up that this time wouldbe different.
This time he would change.
This time I would have my rolemodel back, my big brother would
(26:30):
be back, but ultimately, sometime along the way, at some
point in our lives, our pathsshifted.
Even though he has 10 years inage on me, he doesn't have life
experience on me, unless you'recounting time behind bars, life
experience on me, unless you'recounting time behind bars, even
(26:51):
though age would tell youotherwise.
I have become the big brotherin this relationship.
I have become the one that canbe a father figure for his
children.
I have become the one that canbe a voice of reason and to tell
him you fucked up, these areyour mistakes, nobody else's
mistakes.
We're not here to pick up thepieces.
This is on you.
These are your choices.
You're not here to pick up thepieces.
This is on you, these are yourchoices.
You're not the big one in therelationship anymore.
(27:12):
At some time in my life, realityhas set in and shifted and he's
no longer the big brother.
He will never be the role modelfor me.
He will never be theinspiration for me.
That opportunity has come andgone, but the truth is we all
want our family to be okay.
We all want our family to havea new opportunity.
(27:33):
I truly want him to get out ofprison, regain his life, reform
relationships with his childrenif they let him and live out his
days in the best possible ways.
I also know if he were to getout of jail and be released into
society, he would be deadwithin a year.
I can guarantee it.
(27:53):
He needs a halfway house.
I personally don't think fourmonths is enough time to give
somebody to adjust to societyand to reality after spending
over 10 years in prison, aftermultiple opportunities at
regaining his life that werealways resulted in being placed
back in prison.
He needs help, he needsguidance.
(28:16):
Okay, setting the scene for you.
This year he's getting out ofprison, he's getting brought to
a halfway house in the state ofMaine, getting him back in his
home state, helping him toreestablish connections with his
family and helping him to bewelcomed back into society and
learning how to adjust right.
(28:37):
The time in a halfway house wasgoing to be four months.
Apparently, last night, while Iwas working, my brother called
and had a meltdown, heartfeltbreakdown session with my mother
that I heard the details toover dinner because he was
telling my mother funding inMaine has been removed and I am
(29:03):
no longer eligible for fourmonths of a halfway house
recovery program.
In turn, they're going toextend my prison sentence, so
I'm going to stay in jail anextra couple of months to
compensate for the time I wouldbe in the program.
Then, instead of me having fourmonths in the program to help
me get adjusted, they're goingto shorten that time down to two
(29:26):
months.
So in turn, he's going toshorten that time down to two
months.
So in turn, he's going to dotwo extra months in federal
prison and he's going to havetwo less months to help him
adjust to the real world.
Now I'm trying to process thisand understand it and not
realizing what the big deal isin the moment.
And my wife says I guaranteeyou this is about the governor.
(29:47):
I guarantee you this is withthe governor, because we are
getting federal funding takenfrom our state.
I guarantee his programs onthat funding.
And I said listen, I don'tthink that's the case.
This is about school systems.
Right now we are taking federalfunding away from school
systems and I know the essentialprograms in this theater are
(30:08):
continuing.
I don't know how thecorrectional programs in this
relate.
I don't really know.
So my brother's kind of havinga meltdown over this.
He's been getting his hopes upfor this scenario and it's being
taken away and he's makingreference to federal funding, to
main correctional facilitiesbeing removed.
And Ali comes out and says thisis going to be with our governor
(30:29):
and Trump.
I guarantee it and I'm tellingher I don't think that's the
case.
Well, if you heard me last weektell you.
My wife was right when shechallenged me to embrace social
media.
I can tell you yet again, afterI just about spit my coffee
across the room this morningwatching Fox News.
(30:50):
My wife was right again BecauseI heard Attorney General Pam
Bondi say we are withholding$1.5 million from the main
correctional programs becausethey are housing a transgender
murderer in a women's prison.
(31:14):
You heard that?
Right, folks, a transgenderwoman, aka.
This is a male who murdered hisparents.
Let me just let me pull up someinformation.
26-year-old Andrea, andreaBalasier.
I don't know, I can't.
(31:35):
I can barely read Okay, andrea,aka Andrew.
Okay, I am not going to callyou Andrea if you murdered your
parents and then decided thatyou were a transgender.
You're transgender, you'regoing to be a female.
I am not going to give you thesatisfaction.
You already murderer.
(31:55):
You're lucky.
From this point on, I don'tjust refer to you as a piece of
shit.
So at this point, I'm going tocall you Andrew.
That's the name that yourparents gave you.
That's the name that yourparents gave you.
The parents that you murdered,savagely stabbed to death.
So the parents that brought youinto this world, that welcomed
you into this world.
A mere less than 18 years later, you stabbed your mother to
(32:21):
death, you stabbed your fatherto death and you even stabbed
the family dog to death, stabbedyour father to death and you
even stabbed the family dog todeath, and the reason you gave
for murdering your parents andsavagely killing your family dog
was that you did not believeyour parents would accept you as
(32:45):
a transgender.
Youagely stabbed them to death.
I don't want to lose sight ofwhat we're talking about here,
but if I connect the dots from afew minutes ago when I said to
you that Maine is underinvestigation for our school
systems not talking to parents,they feel it is not of a
(33:08):
parental right to know of yourchild's gender identity in
school.
Parents in Maine are not beingtold if their child is going to
school and expressing a desireto change their gender.
I'm throwing out a freaking,just casting a line in the pond
(33:28):
right here, but do you think ifthis was going on in Andrew's
mind, that he was trying totransition, that he wanted to be
, um, a girl, he wanted to beAndrea, that that had be going
on in Andrew's mind for sometime?
It was probably discussed inschool.
Do you think maybe there wouldhave been an opportunity to
(33:50):
inform the parents thatsomething here is going on and
maybe maybe somehow their livescould have been saved because
someone could have intervenedhere and figured this out.
I'm not saying that's a case,but I'm saying this is an
example and we can draw aparallel here, because right now
maybe there's another child,maybe there's another Andrew out
there somewhere in our statethat is having these feelings
(34:13):
and if they are not discussed,if their parents are not, if
little Andrew's parents are notinformed, they can't get in
front of this and if littleAndrew festers on this for 18
years and results in anothercrime like this, then that blood
is on the education system inour state.
I'm not making things up.
I'm just drawing a connectionbetween stories here.
(34:35):
But getting back to my point, Iwill refuse to call you Andrea.
When your parents welcomed youin as Andrew and you savagely
stabbed both of them to deathand also stabbed the dog to
death.
So Andrew has decided that heis a female.
Andrew has decided my parentswouldn't accept me.
(34:58):
The only option was to savagelystab them to death.
Now Andrew is in confessing tobe Andrea and Maine decides that
it is their policy.
Department of Corrections allowsinmates to live as the gender
(35:19):
with which they identify.
Let me slow this down again.
Maine Department of Correctionsallows inmates to live as the
gender with which they identify.
This morning on the news,attorney General Pam Bondi's
quote is as follows they wereletting him be housed in a
(35:41):
female prison.
No longer we will pull yourfunding.
We will protect women in prison.
No longer we will pull yourfunding.
We will protect women in prison.
We will protect women in sports.
We will protect womenthroughout this country.
Bondi goes on to say no more ofthat Again.
Let me yet again reference thefact that Janet is the first
(36:07):
female governor of Maine.
Here is Janet, aka AustinPowers, yet again, not
protecting women.
We have our president, we haveour administration, our attorney
general, stepping in protectinginmates okay, protecting women
(36:29):
that are in prison from having abiological male housed with
them.
Our female governor refuses todo so.
It is our Department ofCorrections policy that inmates
can live as the gender in whichthey identify.
Here's a few things we're goingto think about here, folks.
First off, andrew savagelystabbed and murdered his mother
(36:54):
and father and dog.
Those women are not safe arounda man who savagely murdered
another man and another woman.
They're not safe, okay.
Number two this prison is now aplayground.
Think about this If you are amale, a biological male, housed
(37:21):
with a bunch of women, that canbecome a personal playground.
There is no way you can convinceme there's not relationships
blossoming here.
You cannot convince me thatthere's not a lot of fishy
business going on here.
I'm not saying that Andrew andBecky next door are getting it
(37:43):
on, but they might be.
I can tell you.
I guarantee there's favorsbeing made, there's
relationships being set up,there's all this nonsense going
on.
You have a biological male inan all-women's prison.
You cannot tell me there is notperks and benefits for the
biological male.
I guarantee that Andrew rollsaround that prison making women
(38:08):
feel unsafe if he's not takingadvantage of them in a multitude
of ways that you can use yourown imagination to draw the
connection to.
Personally, I also can'tbelieve that Andrew only
received 40 years in prisonafter murdering his parents.
That to me also absolutelyinsane.
But I'm going to get back tosome of the quotes we found in
(38:30):
some news articles over thisstory.
I switched over to looking intosome main local news because me
and the wife had a conversationabout this where she saw the
news article and I was saying,hey, I saw this on Fox News and
we start making the connectionhere.
So if I go through this, aspokesperson for giving a G in
(38:52):
its office did not immediatelyrespond, but the Maine DOC
released a statement on Tuesdayafternoon saying the department
is evaluating the impacts toservices from these funding
terminations, while thedepartment is aware of related
public statements by the UnitedStates Attorney General.
The notice is the onlycommunication that has been
(39:14):
received by the department.
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet,tweet.
Podcast timeout Certifiedbullshit.
Bolshevik To all my Russianfriends out there and Germans
Bolshevik, I made that term up.
The main DOC statement readsthe department is evaluating the
(39:38):
impacts of services from thesefunding terminations, while the
department is aware of relatedpublic statements by the US
Attorney General.
The notice is the onlycommunication that has been
received by the department.
Maine DOC says Listen folks.
Maine DOC says Listen folks.
(40:02):
My brother in prison, federalprison in Florida, called us
last night before this newshappened and said funding to
Maine Correctional Facilitieshas been terminated, funding
from the government terminated.
Money has been taken from themain department of corrections.
The program for me, the rehab,the halfway house, the life
adjustment scenario has beenterminated.
(40:24):
It's not happening.
My prison sentence in Floridais being extended.
My time to adjust at home isbeing cut in half.
Listen, folks, can you tell mehow my brother, who's
incarcerated in a federal prisonin Florida, would know that the
funding to Maine's Departmentof Corrections was terminated
(40:47):
and that his program was beingchanged?
His prison sentence was beingextended?
He would know all that before.
The state of Maine's departmentwould actually know, like
Maine's Department ofCorrections.
Oh, we just got the notice.
We don't really know here.
Bullshit.
My brother locked up in prisonin Florida, freaking several
(41:11):
states away.
He already knows about it tothe extent where he was having a
conversation, being informed.
Your dates are changed.
You're here another two months.
A lot of things have happenedfor that to be trickled down to
a frigging inmate.
Put it up your ass, okay?
I'm tired of being lied to.
(41:33):
We are constantly lied to.
This is absolutely obnoxious.
Maine Department of Correctionssaid the funding poll impacts
the following grant programsImproving substance use disorder
treatment and recovery outcomesfor adults in reentry.
That, right, there, folks, ismy brother.
(41:53):
Second Chance Act addressingthe needs of incarcerated
parents and their minor children, and smart probation
innovations and supervisioninitiatives.
So the first one was my brother.
Recovery.
It's improving substance usedisorder treatment and recovery
outcomes for adults.
And re-entry.
My brother is trying tore-enter into society and the
(42:15):
funding for that program isbeing cut.
So my wife was right.
This comes down to Trump andfunding and our governor.
It comes down to transgenderrights.
We were both surprised to findout.
It comes down to a transgenderbiological male being housed in
an all-women's facility inWyndham which isn't too far away
(42:37):
from my house.
This is an asinine, ridiculouspolicy that I can't even believe
is possible.
Okay, that's resulting in mybrother doing extra time in
prison and losing theopportunity at a greater length
of time to adjust to society.
I'm going to give you thisdisclaimer.
Number one this absolutelywholeheartedly affects my
(42:58):
brother.
I can tell you by the tone ofthe conversation he is
devastated, and I can also tellyou they were going to give him
four months of treatment and heneeds way more than four months.
I don't even think four monthsis enough.
He needs way more than that.
Okay.
Number two I can come out andsay I wholeheartedly, 1000%,
(43:19):
agree with Pam Bondi and I agreewith President Trump.
The only option here to protectwomen is to pull funding.
Regardless of the results.
They pulled funding from nonessential programs.
As much as we might assume thatprogram to be essential for my
brother, in the grand scheme ofthings they're looking at it as
(43:40):
non-essential and I can't fightit.
For the good of this country,some sacrifices need to be made.
My brother made piss-poordecisions his whole life.
If he has to do a couple moremonths in prison he committed
the crime he's going to do thetime.
I am not going to sit here andbitch and moan and complain that
(44:01):
President Trump is robbing mybrother of an opportunity, that
President Trump is keeping mybrother in prison.
No, he is doing what is rightto protect women, all women.
Whether you are an inmate who'smade mistakes, who's trying to
recover, who's serving time,who's in prison.
Whether you're a little girltrying to play a sport.
(44:23):
Whether you're a high schoolgirl trying to compete in a
state championship, whether it'sany age, any age female, maybe
you're trying to make it to theOlympics, you're trying to set a
record, you're trying to goprofessional.
If you are a biological female,our president wants to protect
(44:45):
you.
Your safety comes first.
Your opportunities should notbe sacrificed.
Your hopes, dreams and desiresshould not be destroyed and your
safety should not be taken fromyou.
Our president is standing upfor you.
Our governor is not protectingyou.
I can't believe the people inour state have not stood up and
(45:10):
let their voices be heard.
It's time to protect women.
A female governor the firstfemale governor of a state
continues to defy the hopes,dreams, aspirations and safety
of women in her state and it'san absolute disgrace.
My brother, thousands of milesaway in prison, is affected by
(45:37):
our governor's choices.
You don't know the impact thatthese choices are going to have
and who it's going to fall on.
This has certainly impacted myfamily because it adds months to
the time it'll take to see mybrother.
It removes months from aprogram that could very well
impact the rest of his life.
(45:57):
All these decisions, all theseresults are from our governor
protecting transgenders,transgender athletes and
murderers.
I don't care if you're a male,female, transgender.
I don't care if you are male,female, transgender, whatever
(46:20):
you are.
When you are a murderer, I donot know why we offer you any
protection whatsoever.
That risks opportunities andbenefits and assistance for an
(46:40):
entire population in a state isabsolutely mind-blowing to me.
Our state could not be run anyshittier.
The state of Maine, the greatstate that I live in, that I
never see myself moving out of,unfortunately, is an
(47:03):
embarrassment that continues tohave the lights shined on the
nonsense.
You have a governor thatliterally is defying federal
orders because she does not liketo be told what to do, when she
has no problem telling theresidents of Maine what to do.
(47:23):
Mask mandates, vaccine mandatesthat resulted in countless
healthcare workers losing theirjobs, to several small
businesses in Maine being closedbecause she forced these
mandates upon the residents ofMaine.
When the President of theUnited States of America imposes
(47:45):
a mandate protecting women, ourgovernor refuses to abide by
the laws.
But if you didn't abide by hervaccine law, you were terminated
.
If you didn't abide by her masklaws and restrictions, your
business was closed.
It goes even deeper.
(48:05):
There's articles out there thatJanet Mills' brother pocketed
$22 million into his shellcompany that was meant for towns
in Maine into a shell companythat was meant for towns in
Maine.
A year before Janet took office, her brother, peter, received
$22 million through a shellcompany called Western Mountains
(48:25):
and Rivers Corporation.
This company also received 670acres of land on the Dead River,
all courtesy of a companycalled Central Maine Power, a
company that robs the residentsof Maine.
We pay from $300 to $500 amonth for a power bill here my
(48:45):
frickin' residents here.
When Janet assumed office ayear later, she immediately
approved CMP to clear-cut145-mile corridor through
western Maine without theendorsement of any of the
localities affected, who wereall in major disagreement with
(49:06):
the decision.
And that $22 million that wassupposed to have been spent on
the towns appears to have beenpocketed by the shell company
run by Peter Mills, rather thanbeing used on the people it was
actually supposed to.
It is a clear, accurate exampleof political corruption in my
(49:30):
state.
Janet will make laws thatbenefit her family.
Janet will make laws to pocketmillions of dollars for herself
and her family.
Janet will make laws to benefitbig businesses that she's in
bed with.
Janet will make laws to mandateyou get a vaccine.
Janet will make laws to mandateyou to wear a mask, but Janet
(49:54):
will defy laws that protectlittle girls in sports.
Janet will defy laws thatprotect women in sports and
Janet will even defy laws toprotect women inmates.
President Trump, regardless ofthe effect it has on the rest of
(50:15):
us, I wholeheartedly understandand support you dropping the
hammer on this state that I loveand care so much about.
That, ladies and gentlemen, isa topic I didn't think we would
have today, but we needed tohave today.
It feels like another episodeand, as the world turns, that's
(50:39):
another day in the lives of theliberties.
Ridiculous, I know, but that'sme, that's who I am, that's
where I'm from and I can't hideit.
I'm a redneck with a fucked upfamily is what it is.
But until the next time, thankyou for supporting my American
(51:00):
dream Now.

My home state, the state of Maine, continues to be
in the national spotlight, andfor all the wrong reasons.
At this point, I reallyshouldn't be surprised.
But today on Share the StrugglePodcast, we are going to
discuss a transgender murderousincarceration and how it has
(00:22):
cost the Maine Department ofCorrections $1.5 million in
funding, and I share with youthe close and personal impact it
has on my family.
Let me tell you somethingEverybody struggles.
The difference is some peoplechoose to go through it and some

choose to grow through it.
The choice is completely yours.
Which one you choose will havea very profound effect on the
way you live your life.
If you find strength in thestruggle, then this podcast is
for you.
Do you have a relationship thatis comfortable with
(01:05):
uncomfortable conversations?
Uncomfortable conversationschallenge you, humble you and
they build you.
When you sprinkle a little timeand distance on it, it all
makes sense.
Most disagreements, they stemfrom our own insecurities.
You are right where you need tobe what it do, what it has did
(01:45):
it do.
Good Lord, almighty, am I soexcited to be back with you?
Oh, it's true, it is damn true.

And today we are together yetagain, sharing another fabulous
struggle.
Okay, this one's going to getpersonal, it's going to get wild
, it's going to go national.
(02:51):
That's what we have on taptoday For episode 248, that
means for 248 consecutive weekswe've been gathering together as
friends and community Community.
I like that word y'all.
I like breaking down the wordcommunity To me.
When I hear community and it'sused in the right sense, I like
(03:14):
to break it down, cut it in half, chop it up and consider it
common unity, community, commonunity.
When we have a common groundand we are gathered together
with common sense and commonbeliefs, all things are possible
and anything shall be achieved.
We are building a beautifulcommunity, a positive tribe with
(03:36):
a positive vibe.
I appreciate each and every oneof you that have been tuning in,
been listening, been hangingout and jamming out with us
since day one.
If you are an original, if youare an OG, if you're one of my

Share the show, help it grow.
That is what we are here to doto grow the community with some
common unity.
Unity that was an old Rick Jamesbit, wasn't it?
Dave Chappelle show.
I want to say Unity.
(04:39):
I think it was.
Maybe it was Prince, I don'tknow.
I don't remember man, but forsome reason that one was in the
back of my Prince, I don't know,I don't remember man, but for
some reason that one was in theback of my head.
I apologize.
Things just come to me, okay.
Noises, impersonations, randomtwitches they just happen.
They just come to me, it justhappens, okay.
Just like episodes of thepodcast just come to me.
(05:00):
And it's crazy to me how thedots always tend to connect the
sentences just finish each other.
All right, we finish eachother's sentences.
That's what happens when we'reso close and together and share
the same menstrual cycle.
That was awkward, I will admitthat was awkward.
(05:21):
Okay, I started the show offthe little B-roll, the intro,
the credits of the show bysaying Maine, my home, state, me
home, okay is continuing tohave the national spotlight shed
upon thee for all the wrongreasons.
(05:41):
A few weeks ago, maybe a monthago, we had an episode on here
where we talked about ourgovernor going to the White
House and embarrassing our state.
We had an in-depth conversationon how, mind you, our first
female governor for the state ofMaine refuses to protect
(06:02):
females in the state that sherepresents Because our mind you,
first female governor emphasisplaced here again on female
governor is allowing transgenderathletes to compete against
girls, allowing transgenderathletes to share locker rooms
with girls, to make our young,beautiful girls in this state
(06:26):
vulnerable, to take away theirsafety, to rob them of their
securities and to take away manyopportunities.
On that episode we discussedhow a transgender athlete so
this boy who was competing Ithink it was in cross country or
high jump or I don't know whatthe hell it was, I can't
(06:47):
remember now I'm too fired upabout it A year previous
finished fifth competing againstfellow boys in high school, but
this year decides I'm a girland I shall compete against the
girls, wins first place, setsrecords and literally just
dominates the competition, as wewould expect.
(07:08):
Now this whole platform hasreally taken off, let's say it
seems to be something that isgetting the microscope of
mainstream media to really digon it, because our president
signed an executive order whichmonths ago, I discussed on the
podcast by saying with greatexcitement how happy I was, how
(07:31):
pleased I was being a new fatherof a baby girl.
Yes, being one of those girldads, I was on here expressing
how proud I was to watch ourpresident sign an executive
order protecting women's rights,protecting women's sports,
surrounded by young women intheir jerseys, their soccer
uniforms, their softballuniforms, their track and field
(07:54):
uniforms, cheerleading outfits,all of these girls surrounding
the president as he signs in anexecutive order protecting women
athletes.
He did that.
I relished in that.
We celebrated that.
We acknowledged that.
Very quickly after that, a Mainerepresentative notifies Fox
News that Maine has atransgender athlete destroying
(08:18):
the record books for women'ssports here in our state.
President Trump asked ourgovernor about it and it turns
into a pissing match, or shallwe say a dick measuring
competition at the White House,which results in our excuse of a
governor challenging thepresident and saying I'll see
(08:39):
you in court, threatening to suethe president, which results in
we are going to remove yourfunding if you do not fall in
line with federal law andprotect the women and girls of
your state.
Just do the right thing anopportunity before you to stand
(09:07):
up and say I, as the firstfemale governor of the state of
Maine, will stand on the side ofwomen, on girls, and protect
them.
Women of all ages.
We're talking little girls insports.
We're talking young women inhigh school.
We're talking professionalwomen, whether it's college
professional sports.
Whatever you have theopportunity to unite, it's
college, professional sports.
Whatever you have theopportunity to unite to be the
one that says, as the firstfemale governor, I am going to
(09:29):
stand up and protect women.
Period in my state period.
Instead, let's defy federalorder, let's forego the
protections, the securities ofwomen in this state, of girls in
this state.
Let's leave them vulnerable andunprotected and often scared.
I am going to allow transgenderathletes to compete and to rob
(09:54):
these women of theiropportunities.
Full disclosure I'm going tobring you into the Liberty
Kitchen and share a discussionthat I was having with my lovely
wife Allie about future me.
When little Paisley is ablossoming young athlete and
(10:14):
she's competing in sports, howwould I feel and how would I
react?
If a little transgender boy iscompeting against my daughter in
sports and the conclusion thatwe arrived at is I am going to
approach it like this If a boycan compete against my daughter
(10:39):
in a sport, then I am going towrestle that boy's mother in a
steel cage.
It's only fair.
This is what you would call an80-20-90-10 scenario, meaning
80-90% of the populationbelieves that transgenders do
(11:00):
not belong in women's sports.
I am going to again, as Ialways do, throw the cautionary
statement.
I will give the full frontalconfessional I have nothing
against transgenders, I havenothing invested.
I do not care what your sexualpreference and beliefs and how
(11:20):
you're looking at things.
How you feel it's okay.
You do you.
If you feel like you need totransition and you are a
full-grown adult, that's makingthe able-bodied mind decision
that you want to transition, youdo you.
I'm not holding you back.
It has no impact on me in mylife.
The only impact on me in mylife is when you decide that
(11:44):
it's right to compete against mydaughter, when you decide that
it's right for you to have alevel playing field with another
female in a competitive sport.
That is no longer right in myopinion.
I wholeheartedly struggle withan adolescent.
I struggle with a child or anadolescent making the final
(12:06):
decision that they want totransition.
I don't think that anybody shyof being an adult should have
the ability to make thatdecision.
And, to be honest, how manyadults should be making final
decisions?
Let's look around the room alittle bit here to analyze this.
But what I believedwholeheartedly, convictions I
(12:31):
had as a child, as a high schoolstudent, as an 18-year-old, a
35-year-old and a 40-year-oldthey're different, right,
they're vastly different If Ihad made final decisions as a
middle schooler or as a highschool student on my sexual
(12:52):
gender and preference.
If I made those decisions, Ican't stand here today and tell
you that I would feel the sameway, right's?
Let's be honest, how manydecisions did you make as a
child, as a youth, as anadolescent, that you are 1000
percent behind today?
(13:12):
I don't think it's safe foryoung people adolescents,
children to have final say inthose things.
Some things just take time andall of us struggle with our
bodies and our beliefs, and I'mno professional.
So I'm not here throwing stonesand casting doubts.
(13:33):
I'm just telling you that Ithink some things need to take a
little time to work out.
That's a whole differentsubject, a whole different story
.
I'm just here to say I supportyour beliefs and how you feel,
(14:05):
but I hope you can support thatwe all truly feel.
80 to 90% of the population feelit's not fair for you to be a
male, biological male with malechromosomes, competing against
little girls or fellow femaleathletes.
You're putting them at adisadvantage, you're robbing
them of opportunities, you'retaking away goals, hopes, dreams
and aspirations, and that's notright.
We're seeing on a day-to-daybasis, new stories come up.
There's going to be trials,starting about a young girl.
I believe it was in volleyballor basketball who now has
life-altering injuries becauseof facing a transgender athlete.
(14:27):
These things I just don't knowhow we continue to fight about
them.
It was an absoluteembarrassment for me to see that
my state was taking the lowroad on this and defending this
scenario and robbing women,little girls, of their
opportunities.
(14:47):
It disgusts me.
It absolutely disgusts me.
I was proud to see PresidentTrump take a stand and say well,
we will rob your state offederal funding because you do
not deserve it, because you'renot protecting females.
Again, let's put the emphasison the first female governor not
protecting females.
(15:07):
None of this makes sense to me.
This does not add up to me.
This is an absolute disgrace.
If you ask me Now, I do believethe latest update is that my
state has until Friday.
So when this episode drops,I'll have a couple of days to
buck up and follow suit or thisis going to court.
(15:29):
Now I've also learned that theUS Department of Education has
also launched a separate probedigging into allegations that
dozens of school districts arehiding students' gender plans
from their parents.
So if we roll back the onion alittle bit, push the snowball
(15:52):
back uphill.
A few minutes ago we weretalking about a child making
life-altering decisions.
If you were responsible at ageeight to make a decision that
impacted the rest of your life,how would you feel about it?
If you had the ability tochange your sexual identity at
age 10, would you regret it now?
Any of those things, thosethoughts, those conversations?
(16:15):
Do you at all feel that yourparents have the right to know
that you are questioning thosethings?
Do they have the right to know?
Do you think that parents wouldwant to know, would want to
have those things?
Do they have the right to know?
Do you think that parents wouldwant to know, would want to
have those conversations?
I do believe the answer wouldbe yes.
You would think that yourparents are entitled to know you
would hope they're good enoughparents that they would want to
(16:35):
know and they would be there tohelp their child the fact that
schools in Maine dozens of them,are under investigation from
the US Department of Educationthat they are hiding students'
gender plans from parents.
So you can have a student.
Let's just say you have a, Idon't know.
(16:55):
Let's make something up here,folks.
Let's get creative.
Going to a guidance counselorand expressing that they've been
watching on TV, whatever thiscertain program is, and they're
now interested in exploringbeing a little girl.
They feel like they should be alittle girl.
(17:15):
This guidance counselor isgoing to help them, is going to
counsel them and support them intheir decision, because they
made the decision that they wantto be a little girl.
We're going to help them andwe're going to encourage them.
Let's think about anotherexample for you.
Let's say a 12-year-old girlgoes to the guidance counselor
(17:35):
and says I want to be a boy.
There's a boy trapped inside ofme.
I need to be a boy.
That guidance counselor isgoing to support them, instruct
them and in many cases we'rehearing in Maine, they're going
to provide them with theseadvanced athletic supporter type
bras to hide and suppress andcompress their whatever
(18:01):
developed breast at this pointto make them appear more like a
boy.
The school's providing thesethings, they're assisting in
these things and they feel thatit is not the parents' right to
know these conversations arehappening.
They feel it is not theparents' right to know that
their little girl is gettingdropped off at school and being
acknowledged and recognized andacting as a boy the entire time
(18:25):
they're at school.
It's not their right to knowthat it's not their right to
know, that they're droppinglittle boys off and they are
making the decision at school tobe girls and they're allowed in
the girls' locker room, they'reallowed to change with girls
and compete against girls.
Does any of this stuff soundnormal to you?
Because this just seems asinine.
(18:47):
This just seems like this ismade up.
This is science fiction.
Nothing about this seems real.
Who in their right freakingmind makes the decision that a
school decides they have therights to deny the parents of a
child the ability to know thattheir child is questioning their
own sexual preference, that achild is questioning their own
(19:10):
gender, their identity?
These are things that need tobe discussed.
This is absolutely absurd.
To number one, hide theseconversations.
To number two, encourage theirtransition.
To number three support themand provide things to them to do
so.
This is mind-blowing.
This is a massive problem inour state.
(19:31):
So not only by Friday, there'sour governor who is going to
take this to court.
The deadline is going to slippast.
Maine's going to lose fundingover this.
She's also hiding these schoolsin Maine that are denying
parents the right to know abouttheir child's gender plans.
(19:51):
This is out of control to me.
This doesn't make any sense tome and, if you're asking me,
maine deserves to have allfunding for its schools to be
removed and regardless of theconsequences that are going to
fall on the innocent.
It needs to happen becausewithout the sacrifices, none of
this gets worked out, and girls'safety deserves to be worked
(20:17):
out.
Sacrifice is worth the safety.
It needs to happen and I'm hereand saying it's okay if my
state has to be sacrificed forthe betterment of young girls,
their safety, their hopes,dreams, aspirations and
opportunities.
This whole thing is absolutelyinsane to me.
(20:39):
It takes another turn yet againtoday.
This morning, old Papa Bearright here hanging out with the
beautiful little Paisley Rain.
I'm giving her her morning.
Bubba, she's getting ready fora nice nap.
We started off watchingcartoons.
Dad switched it over to FoxNews, little baby girl starting
(21:00):
to fall asleep.
I'm enjoying a coffee and justgetting ready for whatever the
day is about to bring, andduring that time I watch an
interview with Attorney GeneralPam Bondi as she makes the
statement that the United Statesgovernment is withholding $1.5
million from the maincorrectional facilities.
(21:21):
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
I'm going to blow the podcastwhistle here for one memento.
If you please, I'm going topause where we're at and I'm
going to interject and draw theparallels between this story and
a personal connection.
I need to share some importantinformation with you.
If I wanted to draw thisepisode out and do things for
(21:46):
pause and dramatic effect, Iwould save this tidbit for the
end.
But I want you to understandthe personal connection, the
parallels in this conversationso that you understand and
process them.
As we move through the details,I'm going to set the scene,
paint the picture and pave theroad for the story that's about
(22:06):
to be told.
If you're a day one, if you'vebeen listening, if you've been
following along, understandingmy story, my life, my struggle,
my journey, you would know thatmy family comes from a Brady
Bunch scenario.
My father had five childrenbefore meeting my mother.
My mother had one child beforemeeting my dad.
My mother had one child beforemeeting my dad.
(22:29):
Now, to sprinkle layers ofdisappointment on my life, one
of my dad's sons the oldestsibling to me, who was one of
the closest to me he passed awayto cancer.
Another one of my dad's boyspassed away with Alzheimer's,
dementia and some brain trauma.
My parents and I were takingcare of him in the last years of
his life.
That leaves one boy and twogirls who have since disowned me
(22:53):
and my mother and we have noassociation with each other.
My mother's only child, a boy,who was the youngest one closest
to me that's a really horribleway of me explaining that.
He was the next closest in ageto me.
He was 10 years older than me.
He was an idol and a role modelto me as a child and he, very
(23:17):
young in life, made decisions tochoose and prioritize drugs
over family, drugs overopportunity, drugs over all
things in his life, and it hascost him a great deal of his
life.
I've seen more of his kidsgrowing up than he has.
There's been a lot of reallypiss, poor choices in his life
(23:38):
that he's had to pay for andhe's missed on a lot of highs
and lows in life.
He's missed his kids growing up.
He's missed their high schoolgraduations.
He's missed so many firsts intheir lives.
He's also missed a lot of lastsin people's lives.
He was not here with me to saygoodbye to our grandparents as
(23:58):
they passed.
He wasn't here to say goodbyeto siblings as they passed or to
be here with us as we saygoodbye to my father as he
passed.
He's missed out on so so manythings.
My brother has been in prison solong.
He's never met my wife.
They've had conversations.
They've never met in person.
He's never seen my little girl.
(24:19):
My brother has beenincarcerated longer than my wife
and I have been together.
We have been an item for over10 years now and they've never
met.
So my brother's actuallygetting close to his release
date.
His sentence is coming up thisyear and he is going to
(24:41):
transition to a halfway houselike rehab facility after prison
.
So he would get out of prisonand then he would be brought to
this halfway house.
That would help him to adjustto normal life.
That would help him adjust tosociety, give him some of the
(25:02):
tools he needs.
It's a four month long programto help him get on his feet.
Think about some of the thingsin this life that he's missed.
Think about some of the thingsin this world that have changed
right.
So much has changed If we lookat the opioid epidemic in this
world right now.
If my brother has been inprison for over 10 years and
(25:23):
he's been a lifelong drug addict, if he were to come out and
attempt some of the drugs thatare on the street today.
It would kill him.
Right?
He's going to come out to aworld that was free of iPhones
before he went in.
Think about the technology andthe advancements.
Think about the cost of living.
He went in jail when aone-bedroom apartment in the
(25:46):
city was $400 or $500 a month.
Let's say, think about thatsame apartment's probably $2,000
a month right now.
Think about all these things.
Right?
So for him to be incarceratedfor over 10 years?
He has also, at this point,spent more time of his life
behind bars than on the otherside of bars.
(26:08):
He's experienced more lifebehind bars than in the sunshine
.
Right?
He has spent most of his lifeincarcerated because he's been a
lifelong criminal in and out ofprison.
I've been through the ups anddowns, the letdowns of getting
my hopes up that this time wouldbe different.
This time he would change.
This time I would have my rolemodel back, my big brother would
(26:30):
be back, but ultimately, sometime along the way, at some
point in our lives, our pathsshifted.
Even though he has 10 years inage on me, he doesn't have life
experience on me, unless you'recounting time behind bars, life
experience on me, unless you'recounting time behind bars, even
(26:51):
though age would tell youotherwise.
I have become the big brotherin this relationship.
I have become the one that canbe a father figure for his
children.
I have become the one that canbe a voice of reason and to tell
him you fucked up, these areyour mistakes, nobody else's
mistakes.
We're not here to pick up thepieces.
This is on you.
These are your choices.
You're not here to pick up thepieces.
This is on you, these are yourchoices.
You're not the big one in therelationship anymore.
(27:12):
At some time in my life, realityhas set in and shifted and he's
no longer the big brother.
He will never be the role modelfor me.
He will never be theinspiration for me.
That opportunity has come andgone, but the truth is we all
want our family to be okay.
We all want our family to havea new opportunity.
(27:33):
I truly want him to get out ofprison, regain his life, reform
relationships with his childrenif they let him and live out his
days in the best possible ways.
I also know if he were to getout of jail and be released into
society, he would be deadwithin a year.
I can guarantee it.
(27:53):
He needs a halfway house.
I personally don't think fourmonths is enough time to give
somebody to adjust to societyand to reality after spending
over 10 years in prison, aftermultiple opportunities at
regaining his life that werealways resulted in being placed
back in prison.
He needs help, he needsguidance.
(28:16):
Okay, setting the scene for you.
This year he's getting out ofprison, he's getting brought to
a halfway house in the state ofMaine, getting him back in his
home state, helping him toreestablish connections with his
family and helping him to bewelcomed back into society and
learning how to adjust right.
(28:37):
The time in a halfway house wasgoing to be four months.
Apparently, last night, while Iwas working, my brother called
and had a meltdown, heartfeltbreakdown session with my mother
that I heard the details toover dinner because he was
telling my mother funding inMaine has been removed and I am
(29:03):
no longer eligible for fourmonths of a halfway house
recovery program.
In turn, they're going toextend my prison sentence, so
I'm going to stay in jail anextra couple of months to
compensate for the time I wouldbe in the program.
Then, instead of me having fourmonths in the program to help
me get adjusted, they're goingto shorten that time down to two
(29:26):
months.
So in turn, he's going toshorten that time down to two
months.
So in turn, he's going to dotwo extra months in federal
prison and he's going to havetwo less months to help him
adjust to the real world.
Now I'm trying to process thisand understand it and not
realizing what the big deal isin the moment.
And my wife says I guaranteeyou this is about the governor.
(29:47):
I guarantee you this is withthe governor, because we are
getting federal funding takenfrom our state.
I guarantee his programs onthat funding.
And I said listen, I don'tthink that's the case.
This is about school systems.
Right now we are taking federalfunding away from school
systems and I know the essentialprograms in this theater are
(30:08):
continuing.
I don't know how thecorrectional programs in this
relate.
I don't really know.
So my brother's kind of havinga meltdown over this.
He's been getting his hopes upfor this scenario and it's being
taken away and he's makingreference to federal funding, to
main correctional facilitiesbeing removed.
And Ali comes out and says thisis going to be with our governor
(30:29):
and Trump.
I guarantee it and I'm tellingher I don't think that's the
case.
Well, if you heard me last weektell you.
My wife was right when shechallenged me to embrace social
media.
I can tell you yet again, afterI just about spit my coffee
across the room this morningwatching Fox News.
(30:50):
My wife was right again BecauseI heard Attorney General Pam
Bondi say we are withholding$1.5 million from the main
correctional programs becausethey are housing a transgender
murderer in a women's prison.
(31:14):
You heard that?
Right, folks, a transgenderwoman, aka.
This is a male who murdered hisparents.
Let me just let me pull up someinformation.
26-year-old Andrea, andreaBalasier.
I don't know, I can't.
(31:35):
I can barely read Okay, andrea,aka Andrew.
Okay, I am not going to callyou Andrea if you murdered your
parents and then decided thatyou were a transgender.
You're transgender, you'regoing to be a female.
I am not going to give you thesatisfaction.
You already murderer.
(31:55):
You're lucky.
From this point on, I don'tjust refer to you as a piece of
shit.
So at this point, I'm going tocall you Andrew.
That's the name that yourparents gave you.
That's the name that yourparents gave you.
The parents that you murdered,savagely stabbed to death.
So the parents that brought youinto this world, that welcomed
you into this world.
A mere less than 18 years later, you stabbed your mother to
(32:21):
death, you stabbed your fatherto death and you even stabbed
the family dog to death, stabbedyour father to death and you
even stabbed the family dog todeath, and the reason you gave
for murdering your parents andsavagely killing your family dog
was that you did not believeyour parents would accept you as
(32:45):
a transgender.
Youagely stabbed them to death.
I don't want to lose sight ofwhat we're talking about here,
but if I connect the dots from afew minutes ago when I said to
you that Maine is underinvestigation for our school
systems not talking to parents,they feel it is not of a
(33:08):
parental right to know of yourchild's gender identity in
school.
Parents in Maine are not beingtold if their child is going to
school and expressing a desireto change their gender.
I'm throwing out a freaking,just casting a line in the pond
(33:28):
right here, but do you think ifthis was going on in Andrew's
mind, that he was trying totransition, that he wanted to be
, um, a girl, he wanted to beAndrea, that that had be going
on in Andrew's mind for sometime?
It was probably discussed inschool.
Do you think maybe there wouldhave been an opportunity to
(33:50):
inform the parents thatsomething here is going on and
maybe maybe somehow their livescould have been saved because
someone could have intervenedhere and figured this out.
I'm not saying that's a case,but I'm saying this is an
example and we can draw aparallel here, because right now
maybe there's another child,maybe there's another Andrew out
there somewhere in our statethat is having these feelings
(34:13):
and if they are not discussed,if their parents are not, if
little Andrew's parents are notinformed, they can't get in
front of this and if littleAndrew festers on this for 18
years and results in anothercrime like this, then that blood
is on the education system inour state.
I'm not making things up.
I'm just drawing a connectionbetween stories here.
(34:35):
But getting back to my point, Iwill refuse to call you Andrea.
When your parents welcomed youin as Andrew and you savagely
stabbed both of them to deathand also stabbed the dog to
death.
So Andrew has decided that heis a female.
Andrew has decided my parentswouldn't accept me.
(34:58):
The only option was to savagelystab them to death.
Now Andrew is in confessing tobe Andrea and Maine decides that
it is their policy.
Department of Corrections allowsinmates to live as the gender
(35:19):
with which they identify.
Let me slow this down again.
Maine Department of Correctionsallows inmates to live as the
gender with which they identify.
This morning on the news,attorney General Pam Bondi's
quote is as follows they wereletting him be housed in a
(35:41):
female prison.
No longer we will pull yourfunding.
We will protect women in prison.
No longer we will pull yourfunding.
We will protect women in prison.
We will protect women in sports.
We will protect womenthroughout this country.
Bondi goes on to say no more ofthat Again.
Let me yet again reference thefact that Janet is the first
(36:07):
female governor of Maine.
Here is Janet, aka AustinPowers, yet again, not
protecting women.
We have our president, we haveour administration, our attorney
general, stepping in protectinginmates okay, protecting women
(36:29):
that are in prison from having abiological male housed with
them.
Our female governor refuses todo so.
It is our Department ofCorrections policy that inmates
can live as the gender in whichthey identify.
Here's a few things we're goingto think about here, folks.
First off, andrew savagelystabbed and murdered his mother
(36:54):
and father and dog.
Those women are not safe arounda man who savagely murdered
another man and another woman.
They're not safe, okay.
Number two this prison is now aplayground.
Think about this If you are amale, a biological male, housed
(37:21):
with a bunch of women, that canbecome a personal playground.
There is no way you can convinceme there's not relationships
blossoming here.
You cannot convince me thatthere's not a lot of fishy
business going on here.
I'm not saying that Andrew andBecky next door are getting it
(37:43):
on, but they might be.
I can tell you.
I guarantee there's favorsbeing made, there's
relationships being set up,there's all this nonsense going
on.
You have a biological male inan all-women's prison.
You cannot tell me there is notperks and benefits for the
biological male.
I guarantee that Andrew rollsaround that prison making women
(38:08):
feel unsafe if he's not takingadvantage of them in a multitude
of ways that you can use yourown imagination to draw the
connection to.
Personally, I also can'tbelieve that Andrew only
received 40 years in prisonafter murdering his parents.
That to me also absolutelyinsane.
But I'm going to get back tosome of the quotes we found in
(38:30):
some news articles over thisstory.
I switched over to looking intosome main local news because me
and the wife had a conversationabout this where she saw the
news article and I was saying,hey, I saw this on Fox News and
we start making the connectionhere.
So if I go through this, aspokesperson for giving a G in
(38:52):
its office did not immediatelyrespond, but the Maine DOC
released a statement on Tuesdayafternoon saying the department
is evaluating the impacts toservices from these funding
terminations, while thedepartment is aware of related
public statements by the UnitedStates Attorney General.
The notice is the onlycommunication that has been
(39:14):
received by the department.
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet,tweet.
Podcast timeout Certifiedbullshit.
Bolshevik To all my Russianfriends out there and Germans
Bolshevik, I made that term up.
The main DOC statement readsthe department is evaluating the
(39:38):
impacts of services from thesefunding terminations, while the
department is aware of relatedpublic statements by the US
Attorney General.
The notice is the onlycommunication that has been
received by the department.
Maine DOC says Listen folks.
Maine DOC says Listen folks.
(40:02):
My brother in prison, federalprison in Florida, called us
last night before this newshappened and said funding to
Maine Correctional Facilitieshas been terminated, funding
from the government terminated.
Money has been taken from themain department of corrections.
The program for me, the rehab,the halfway house, the life
adjustment scenario has beenterminated.
(40:24):
It's not happening.
My prison sentence in Floridais being extended.
My time to adjust at home isbeing cut in half.
Listen, folks, can you tell mehow my brother, who's
incarcerated in a federal prisonin Florida, would know that the
funding to Maine's Departmentof Corrections was terminated
(40:47):
and that his program was beingchanged?
His prison sentence was beingextended?
He would know all that before.
The state of Maine's departmentwould actually know, like
Maine's Department ofCorrections.
Oh, we just got the notice.
We don't really know here.
Bullshit.
My brother locked up in prisonin Florida, freaking several
(41:11):
states away.
He already knows about it tothe extent where he was having a
conversation, being informed.
Your dates are changed.
You're here another two months.
A lot of things have happenedfor that to be trickled down to
a frigging inmate.
Put it up your ass, okay?
I'm tired of being lied to.
(41:33):
We are constantly lied to.
This is absolutely obnoxious.
Maine Department of Correctionssaid the funding poll impacts
the following grant programsImproving substance use disorder
treatment and recovery outcomesfor adults in reentry.
That, right, there, folks, ismy brother.
(41:53):
Second Chance Act addressingthe needs of incarcerated
parents and their minor children, and smart probation
innovations and supervisioninitiatives.
So the first one was my brother.
Recovery.
It's improving substance usedisorder treatment and recovery
outcomes for adults.
And re-entry.
My brother is trying tore-enter into society and the
(42:15):
funding for that program isbeing cut.
So my wife was right.
This comes down to Trump andfunding and our governor.
It comes down to transgenderrights.
We were both surprised to findout.
It comes down to a transgenderbiological male being housed in
an all-women's facility inWyndham which isn't too far away
(42:37):
from my house.
This is an asinine, ridiculouspolicy that I can't even believe
is possible.
Okay, that's resulting in mybrother doing extra time in
prison and losing theopportunity at a greater length
of time to adjust to society.
I'm going to give you thisdisclaimer.
Number one this absolutelywholeheartedly affects my
(42:58):
brother.
I can tell you by the tone ofthe conversation he is
devastated, and I can also tellyou they were going to give him
four months of treatment and heneeds way more than four months.
I don't even think four monthsis enough.
He needs way more than that.
Okay.
Number two I can come out andsay I wholeheartedly, 1000%,
(43:19):
agree with Pam Bondi and I agreewith President Trump.
The only option here to protectwomen is to pull funding.
Regardless of the results.
They pulled funding from nonessential programs.
As much as we might assume thatprogram to be essential for my
brother, in the grand scheme ofthings they're looking at it as
(43:40):
non-essential and I can't fightit.
For the good of this country,some sacrifices need to be made.
My brother made piss-poordecisions his whole life.
If he has to do a couple moremonths in prison he committed
the crime he's going to do thetime.
I am not going to sit here andbitch and moan and complain that
(44:01):
President Trump is robbing mybrother of an opportunity, that
President Trump is keeping mybrother in prison.
No, he is doing what is rightto protect women, all women.
Whether you are an inmate who'smade mistakes, who's trying to
recover, who's serving time,who's in prison.
Whether you're a little girltrying to play a sport.
(44:23):
Whether you're a high schoolgirl trying to compete in a
state championship, whether it'sany age, any age female, maybe
you're trying to make it to theOlympics, you're trying to set a
record, you're trying to goprofessional.
If you are a biological female,our president wants to protect
(44:45):
you.
Your safety comes first.
Your opportunities should notbe sacrificed.
Your hopes, dreams and desiresshould not be destroyed and your
safety should not be taken fromyou.
Our president is standing upfor you.
Our governor is not protectingyou.
I can't believe the people inour state have not stood up and
(45:10):
let their voices be heard.
It's time to protect women.
A female governor the firstfemale governor of a state
continues to defy the hopes,dreams, aspirations and safety
of women in her state and it'san absolute disgrace.
My brother, thousands of milesaway in prison, is affected by
(45:37):
our governor's choices.
You don't know the impact thatthese choices are going to have
and who it's going to fall on.
This has certainly impacted myfamily because it adds months to
the time it'll take to see mybrother.
It removes months from aprogram that could very well
impact the rest of his life.
(45:57):
All these decisions, all theseresults are from our governor
protecting transgenders,transgender athletes and
murderers.
I don't care if you're a male,female, transgender.
I don't care if you are male,female, transgender, whatever
(46:20):
you are.
When you are a murderer, I donot know why we offer you any
protection whatsoever.
That risks opportunities andbenefits and assistance for an
(46:40):
entire population in a state isabsolutely mind-blowing to me.
Our state could not be run anyshittier.
The state of Maine, the greatstate that I live in, that I
never see myself moving out of,unfortunately, is an
(47:03):
embarrassment that continues tohave the lights shined on the
nonsense.
You have a governor thatliterally is defying federal
orders because she does not liketo be told what to do, when she
has no problem telling theresidents of Maine what to do.
(47:23):
Mask mandates, vaccine mandatesthat resulted in countless
healthcare workers losing theirjobs, to several small
businesses in Maine being closedbecause she forced these
mandates upon the residents ofMaine.
When the President of theUnited States of America imposes
(47:45):
a mandate protecting women, ourgovernor refuses to abide by
the laws.
But if you didn't abide by hervaccine law, you were terminated
.
If you didn't abide by her masklaws and restrictions, your
business was closed.
It goes even deeper.

There's articles out there thatJanet Mills' brother pocketed
$22 million into his shellcompany that was meant for towns
in Maine into a shell companythat was meant for towns in
Maine.
A year before Janet took office, her brother, peter, received
$22 million through a shellcompany called Western Mountains
(48:25):
and Rivers Corporation.
This company also received 670acres of land on the Dead River,
all courtesy of a companycalled Central Maine Power, a
company that robs the residentsof Maine.
We pay from $300 to $500 amonth for a power bill here my
(48:45):
frickin' residents here.
When Janet assumed office ayear later, she immediately
approved CMP to clear-cut145-mile corridor through
western Maine without theendorsement of any of the
localities affected, who wereall in major disagreement with
(49:06):
the decision.
And that $22 million that wassupposed to have been spent on
the towns appears to have beenpocketed by the shell company
run by Peter Mills, rather thanbeing used on the people it was
actually supposed to.
It is a clear, accurate exampleof political corruption in my
(49:30):
state.
Janet will make laws thatbenefit her family.
Janet will make laws to pocketmillions of dollars for herself
and her family.
Janet will make laws to benefitbig businesses that she's in
bed with.
Janet will make laws to mandateyou get a vaccine.
Janet will make laws to mandateyou to wear a mask, but Janet
(49:54):
will defy laws that protectlittle girls in sports.
Janet will defy laws thatprotect women in sports and
Janet will even defy laws toprotect women inmates.
President Trump, regardless ofthe effect it has on the rest of
(50:15):
us, I wholeheartedly understandand support you dropping the
hammer on this state that I loveand care so much about.
That, ladies and gentlemen, isa topic I didn't think we would
have today, but we needed tohave today.
It feels like another episodeand, as the world turns, that's
(50:39):
another day in the lives of theliberties.
Ridiculous, I know, but that'sme, that's who I am, that's
where I'm from and I can't hideit.
I'm a redneck with a fucked upfamily is what it is.
But until the next time, thankyou for supporting my American
(51:00):
dream Now.

That's it and that's all.
