Speaker 1 (00:02):
There are a lot bigger things happening than the Doddy verdict.
We're going to talk about USAID, Yes, the Big beautiful Bill,
a huge scandal in the FBI, Tranny Swimmers, all that
more coming up on I'm right now. Okay, So I

(00:26):
have to tell you what I'm not going to talk about,
which I guess is weird because that means I'm actually
talking about it. I don't really do pop culture celebrity
stuff on. I'm right. It's just not what we do.
It's not something that we're passionate about here. So I
understand a big headline today is that the rapper Diddy
and the verdict and whatnot. I've got to be honest,

(00:48):
if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, you
have come to the wrong place. I don't care about
any of that stuff. I do very much care about
my country, and I care about the fact that the
communists in the United States government have been running a
slush fund, an international slush fund, for a long time
with your money and our money. And so let's talk
about something wonderful that's happening. It's scary, the revelation of

(01:11):
things is scary, but something wonderful that's happening. Marco Rubio
came out and he said, hey, USAID, no more operating independently,
if you will, none of that. USAID is going to
be under the State Department now. It will be administered

(01:32):
by the State Department. Now, before we move on at all,
I need to do a couple different things. First, USAID,
we've dug into it in depth multiple times on this show.
YouTube channel is where you need to go to find that.
Me Mike Benz, we've riffed on USAID, highly recommend that
go to the YouTube channel and go watch it. It's

(01:52):
all free. Enjoy that. That's one. Two. I want to
focus on kind of the little part of it. Last
part of that whole thing. USAID will now be administered
by the State Department. Okay, So that of course begs

(02:13):
the question who who was administering it before? Let's talk
about that. The United States government over decades and decades
and decades, over our two century plus existence almost two
fifty now, by the way, the United States government has

(02:34):
done what really all governments do. So if what I'm
about to talk about angers you, I get that, but
you should also know this is simply human nature. Governments
are made of what humans flesh and blood, people just
like you, just like me, and human beings, all of us.
In our flawed, sinful nature, we acquire power and that

(02:59):
makes us want more and we try to gobble up
as much of it as we can to use it
for our own interests. And the United States government has
done this over two and a half centuries. And that
brings us to where we are today, where we have
essentially whole branches of government, entire departments in the United

(03:20):
States Government that receive large quantities of taxpayer money, yet
they don't necessarily operate under the supervision of any elected representatives.
They should constitutionally, and right and wrong, they should should
be under the President I answer to Congress all those things.

(03:42):
But should and do are two very different concepts. They don't.
USAID is a wonderful example of this. Now, obviously there
are all kinds of Central Intelligence agency connections to USAID. Again,
Mike Benz and I have laid all this out, really
mainly Mike on the YouTube channel, if you want to
go ahead and lay it out. But let's examine this organization,

(04:06):
shall we. Because Democrats, which we'll get to in a moment,
they're in a full blown panic about this. Why well, USAID,
they're the one that's funded a bunch of this stuff,
transgender entertainment in Colombia, Peru, Ireland, Serbia, twenty million dollars
for Sesame Street and Iraq ten million dollars to feed

(04:27):
olt KEATA linked groups in Syria, seven point nine million
dollars to teach Shri lankan journalist's non binary language. And
you can't forget five million dollars to the Echo Alliance
for bat virus research in Wuhan. So what is USAID, Well,
it's two different things, and you need to keep these

(04:49):
two things in mind while you watch democrats panic about
the defunding of it. USAID is two things. First, it
is is a slush fund for the Central Intelligence Agency
to cause societal upheaval in societies they want to rip

(05:10):
up and rebuild in countries. They will use USAID and
Trannye Sesame Street to essentially create color revolutions in countries
where they want the government toppled. And Central Intelligence Agency
often does this without oversight. They are, of course the

(05:31):
gods of intelligence and they know all and they just
operate any way they want using the slush fund. Now
that's part of it. The second thing it does is well,
I'll tell you this. This is a true story story.
I've told you before. But the first time I ever
went to Washington, d C. It was actually during that

(05:54):
terrible recession, remember our two thousand and eight recession. All
those businesses went under, all those empty shops. And I
was living in Tucson, Arizona at the time, and I
had never really experienced anything like that recession in my
adult life. As a kid, that stuff doesn't register. But
as an adult, I'm driving around and shopping centers that
were full were now empty, but bankruptcies all over the place.

(06:16):
It was noticeable that things that people were hurting all around. Wow,
things are really going downhill around here. This strip mall
is empty now. But what's going on? You remember it?
I go visit Washington, DC because I'm running for Congress.
Everything was brand new. It was like I had been

(06:37):
transported to a different time and place. Everything was shiny
and new and new things being built. It was like
the recession didn't exist there because it didn't exist there.
Why doesn't the recession exist there? Why is Washington, d C?
So flushed with cash? No matter what you are going through,
no matter what your little community, your state is going through.

(06:58):
Why is Washington, DC se shiny and new at all times?
Well because of your tax money. You see these foreign
aid organizations, they get gigantic quantities of taxpayer money. And
you know it's human nature to think, well, okay, they're
taking one hundred dollars of mine and they're going to

(07:19):
go buy rice and fly swatters for poor African kids.
They always have flies on them and they need to eat.
So you think that one hundred dollars goes from your wallet,
goes into the government, and then the government buys one
hundred dollars worth of rice and fly swatters. But that's
not how it works at all. The government steals one
hundred dollars of your money. Then of course the money
does get allocated to one hundred dollars for flies, for fly

(07:42):
swatters and rice to Africa. But of course we need
a different independent agency to kind of administer this. After all,
I didn't even know where to buy rice. I'm fresh
out of fly swatters. I don't know what to do.
And so they'll go to some non government organization, some
agency where of course the congressman are Senator brother's cousin's
mother works with a half million dollar a year salary.

(08:04):
This organization is located in Washington, DC's shiny new building.
They have wonderful coffee in there. That one hundred dollars
then filters into their maybe, if you're lucky, five bucks
of it ends up going overseas to buy rice and
fly swatters for the African kids. The other ninety five
bucks goes right back into d C. In the corruption

(08:28):
and the swamp, that is what all this USAID stuff,
all this foreign eight stuff does. Trump has been wise
to it for a while.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Look at all the fraud that he's found in this
US AID. It's a disaster. What the people radical left lunatics.
They have things that nobody would have believed that the whole.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Thing with one hundred million spent on you know what,
with money going to all sorts of groups, I shouldn't
deserve to get any money with the money.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'd like to see what the kickbacks are.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
How much money has been kicked back? I would say this,
the people that get all that money, are they kicking
it back to the people that gave it from government? No?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
To me, very very corrupt.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
The real question is how much of a kickback has
there been?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Why do you think Chuck Schumer reacted like this when
USA got stripped of its money and power?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Also, know this is just the beginning. If DOJE attacks
USAID today, then you can be sure they'll move on
to another target tomorrow. Who knows, maybe they'll be the
Postal Service or the IRS, or even the Social Security
Administration they could be next, or maybe our national security agencies.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
We cannot we cannot allow Elon.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Musk and a small.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Group of people too secretly behind closed doors, take away
our privacy, take away our dollars, take away every anything
we have. We are gonna fight this fight.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
I am gonna stand with you in this.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
Fight, and we will win. We will win. We will win.
We will win. We will win. We will we won't rest.
We won't rest. We won't rest, we won't rest.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
You know the most interesting part of that, It wasn't
Chuck Schumer's ham fisted attempts at starting chance take away
our money, our money. This was I mean, we've been
constantly told that this is critical money, saving lives with

(10:49):
the African kids. But that's not what he said, our money. Hmm.
So combine what we've seen now with the story we've
brought you here that show the Democrats, the national Party,
they're running out of money. There are rumors now that
they're going to have to take out loans to keep

(11:13):
the lights on right as soon as government agencies start
being defunded, Democrats seem to run out of money. Don't
think Chuck Schumer's alone. All kinds of Democrats seem to
be really upset.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Like, Elon Musk. You didn't create USAID. The United States
Congress did for the American people and times like Elon
Musk did not create USAID. He doesn't have the power
to destroy it. And who's gonna stop him? We are,

(11:52):
We're gonna stop him.

Speaker 9 (11:54):
This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Let's call it what it is.

Speaker 9 (12:02):
The people get to decide how we defend the United
States of America. The people get to decide how their
tax mayor money is spent. Elon Musk does not get
to decide.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
And let me wrap all this up before we move on.
We have such a great show for you here. Let
me wrap this up by saying this it's gonna be
a little tell, not just for now, for the future,
because it's something I've noticed time and time and time
and time again. When the communists in the media and
the Democrat Party, I know that's they're one and the same.

(12:38):
But when the Communists are truly truly threatened, when they
are truly afraid, when something is happening they think is
legitimately going to hurt them and their power, they will threaten.
They'll threaten the American public, they will emotionally blackmail the
American public that people are going to die. It is

(13:01):
a rule every single time. I've noticed it, time after time.
That's why virtually every major Democrat publication they're saying things
like this.

Speaker 10 (13:12):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hailing the end of USAID,
the nation's largest foreign aid agency, even as a new
analysis finds that its closure could contribute to some fourteen
million deaths in the next five years.

Speaker 11 (13:24):
Clean Up the US Agency for International Development USAID officially
shuts down just after a new analysis finds its closure
could contribute to fourteen million deaths in the next five years.

Speaker 12 (13:38):
Rubio said, they are going to be focused now more
on trade rather than aid, and of course this comes
as that report from the Lancet is saying there could
be an additional fourteen million deaths that come as a
result of these administration policies.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Don't think it's just CNN, NBC News, NPR, Washington Post, Reuters,
all of them. I'm rolling the exact same talking point out.
Let this be a lesson for you and me. Whenever
the communists are saying people will die, what they're actually
saying is my power is in jeopardy. All that may

(14:15):
have made you uncomfortable, but I am right. We have
a gigantic show. Let's find out about China in the
twenty twenty election and the FBI in the twenty twenty
election with Jerry Dunlaby Next. Before we get to Jerry,
I want to talk to you about something more important
than us aid, maybe more important than anything on the planet. Chips.

(14:38):
I love chips. I love them so much. You know,
when I was in boot camp Marine Corps boot camp,
I had dreams about chips. I know, I know it's crazy,
it's wrong, but that's how much I love chips. But
the problem is, most chips are awful for you. And
then you hear about these healthy options and it's always gross,
isn't it. It's always disgusting until I found massa chips

(15:03):
three ingredients, three ingredients, no seed oils, no garbage, and
then they make it in tallow and so you're thinking,
at least I shouldn't say you are. I thought, but
these are gonna be disgusting. Oh let's send you some.
Oh come on, they're gonna be gross. We just wipe
them out in my house. They are so freaking good.
And you can eat chips guilt free. Try them, save

(15:25):
a pile on your first order massive chips dot com,
slash jessetv, or take your phone and just scan that
little thing on the screen. We'll be back, all right. Well,
this story about the FBI China the twenty twenty election,

(15:50):
it obviously is a major scandal. But I want to
get down to what actually happened, not not just your
Internet rumors and stupid things like that. What did China do?
What did the f I do? What is the scandal?
Why are we finding out about all this stuff? Well,
probably nobody better to talk to about this. Somebody I
actually quoted last night on my show, My Buddy Cherry.

(16:10):
Jerry Dunleavy, Chief Investigative correspondent with just the news. All right, Jerry,
let's start with just the facts. What are the facts?
What happened in twenty twenty, What did China do? What
did they attempt to do? What happened?

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Okay, so basically since twenty twenty, we have learned more
about what it looks like China was trying to do
to influence the twenty twenty election. One piece that we
kind of knew already but most people don't know, is
that the National Intelligence Officer for Cyber that's a very

(16:46):
top intel position in the intelligence community, concluded in twenty
twenty that the Chinese government was trying to influence the
election to help Biden and to hurt Trump's reelection efforts. Now,
what we were told, what we learned was that inside
the IC, basically the other leaders of the intelligence can

(17:09):
be attempted to shut that conclusion down, and John Radcliffe,
at the time, the Director of National Intelligence, had to
basically come out with his own assessment to stand by
that National Intelligence Officer for Cyber to say yes, China
did try to influence the twenty twenty election in an

(17:29):
effort to help Biden and to hurt Trump. Now, what
we've learned is that an FBI field office, the Albany
FBI Field Office, had received information that it believed to
be credible about a Chinese plot, at least a consideration
by the Chinese to use fraudulent drivers licenses to get

(17:57):
voters to vote for Biden vote against Trump. And what
we now know based on this newly declassified information is
that instead of investigating this information trying to figure out
if it's true, trying to get to the bottom of it,
in the summer of twenty twenty, this was also shut

(18:17):
down by top FBI officials at the Counterintelligence Division, the
Cyber Division, and the Foreign Influenced Task Force. Do I
know if this Chinese plot was real or if you
know how serious it was. I don't. And the reason
why I don't know, why no one does, is because
the FBI chose not to investigate it in twenty twenty

(18:40):
because there was a fear that this intelligence contradicted with
assurances that Chris Ferrey, the FBI Director at the time,
was making about, you know, there's no foreign influence like
plots like this happening, and also his assessment that Russia
was the big election influenced threat in the twenty twenty election.

(19:05):
So what we're learning now is that there are lots
of indications that China was trying to influence the election,
but the intelligence community and the FBI shut these assessments
and shut potential investigations down. And as you well know,
this is a incomplete contrast to what they did with
these claims of Trump Russia collision.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, Jerry, I'm going to ask a couple of nerdy details.
But in these stories, details matter, and you're good at
that kind of stuff. So when Christopher Ray sits down
in front of Congress and says, hey, it was just Russia,
would he basically denies this whole thing in front of
Congress at that time? At that date, did Christopher Ray
know when he sat in front of Congress that China

(19:53):
had been meddling? Did he know? In lie?

Speaker 4 (19:57):
He must have known about this plot that I've I've
told you about, because the FBI Albany Field Office actually
made and what's called an intelligence information report, actually widely
circulated it within the FBI, and then it was high
level FBI officials that reached in to pull that report back.

(20:22):
And there are within these emails that were to classified yesterday.
You see that at least one of the considerations for
pulling this information back was that it contradicted raised testimony
to Congress. And so you know, I have little doubt
that that Ray was aware that this allegation was out there,

(20:44):
and that FBI agents at the Albany Field Office thought
that it was at least serious enough that it needed
to be investigated fully. But it never was.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Jerry, you say, high officials at the FBI, and these
names may not be known. Everyone knows Christopher Ray's name,
but who what officials and probably more importantly, are they
still there?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Okay? So I don't believe that the officials are still there.
This was a high ranking official at counter the Counterintelligence Division,
a high ranking official at cyber, and the person who
delivered the one of the messages to the Albany Field
Office letting them know that this was being shut down

(21:35):
and why I was being shut down was a person
who at that time was the head of the Foreign
Influenced Task Forces China Unit or a DEMLO who went
on to be in charge of the Foreign Influence Task
Force after that. The Trump administration two point zero has

(21:57):
actually shut down this Foreign Influenced Task force probably because
of all of these controversies. Something to keep in mind
about Laura Demlo is that she was also in twenty
twenty involved in all of the discussions surrounding the Hunter
Biden laptop when it emerged on the scene in October
twenty twenty, and you had those fifty one former intelligence

(22:19):
officials try to claim that this was just a Russian plot,
even though it wasn't, and even though the FBI had
known for a full year that it wasn't a Russian
plot because they had been in possession of the FBI
laptop for a whole year. Laura Demlo was mixed up
in all of those conversations surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop,

(22:41):
the FBI's conversations with social media companies about the Hunter
Biden laptop in October twenty twenty. She was also involved
in these high level decisions to shut down looking into
this alleged Chinese influence plot in twenty twenty as well.

(23:03):
So that's just some of your connections there, and just
for everyone to keep in mind that while this, you know,
an investigation to this alleged Chinese influence plot was being
shut down, there was also an effort to shut down
discussion about the Hunter Biden laptop, even though the FBI
had known for a full year that the laptop was

(23:26):
was real and of course was damning.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
So the same lady at the FBI said stop looking
into Chinas, the same one that covered up Hunter Biden. Well,
that's that's somebody we should probably be looking into. But
I don't have time to get into that with you, Jerry,
because I also have to ask you about the Biden
administration domestic terrorism January sixth and some of the nefarious
things they did around that. You reported on it this

(23:51):
a few weeks ago, tell me.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, So this is something I had suspected for a
very long time, but I was never able to get
at answers for four years from the Biden administration on it.
But the Office Director of National Intelligence ended up declassifying
information earlier this year that confirmed all my suspicions. So

(24:15):
what we now know is that this massive rise alleged
in domestic terrorism that the FBI and the intelligence community
and DHS for touting throughout the Biden administration is the
majority of that can be traced to the fact that

(24:37):
the Biden administration shows to count essentially pretty much every
January sixth case as another instance of domestic terrorism. And
so you had President Biden running around talking about this
massive rise in domestic terrorism and using it to implement

(24:58):
a new the first Domestic Terrorism Strategy, which increased the
powers of the FBI and law enforcement to look into
domestic terrorism as characterized by the Biden administration. And you
had you know, Chris Ray running around talking about the
massive rise and domestic terrorism, all of these officials talking

(25:20):
about this massive rise, and the vast majority of it
was traced to one riot on one day, January sixth,
twenty twenty one. And so a lot of the narrative
that we heard for four years under the Biden administration
about this massive rise and domestic terrorism just has to

(25:40):
do with the fact that DOJ made January sixth the
most aggressive investigation in its entire history, made hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of arrests, and the FBI and DHS
decided to count most of those as individual instances of
domestic terrorism. And keep in mind, this is something that

(26:04):
you know, Biden was trying to run on when he
was running for reelection. This is something that he pointed
to time and time again and now we see that
this domestic terrorism classification was being massively inflated, I think
for political purposes to give a talking point, but to

(26:24):
hide the ball on that talking point, because as much
as they talked about the threat from January sixth, the
Biden administration never admitted that this massive rise in domestic
terrorism was actually just all from that riot on one day.
So very tricky, very shady, and it took four years

(26:46):
for us to learn exactly what was behind that.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
And they use the domestic terrorism rising numbers, They used
that to justify all sorts of evil crap they did
over that for years, didn't they.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Jerry absolutely well, first off, I mean they just they
used it to justify an expansion in the federal government's power. Obviously,
there are important things that the federal government needs to do,
but when you're expanding the power of the FBI or
federal law enforcement, it needs to be for a good reason.

(27:22):
And they completely hit the ball on what their reason was.
And keep in mind that this alleged rise in domestic
terrorism was also used to underpin Attorney General Merrick Garland's
school boards memo. If everybody remembers that where he instituted
he released a memo that launched a task force that

(27:45):
even involved the Justice Department's National Security Division and the
FBI related to parents protesting in twenty twenty one about
transgender issue use or COVID mask mandates. So right there,
that was a that was a huge expansion of power.

(28:07):
Now Garland basically spent the rest of his tenure trying
to back away from what he had done because it
was so unpopular that it probably helped get Glenn Youngkin,
you know, elected in Virginia. But it was, you know,
that was an expansion of power to scrutinize you know,

(28:28):
parents making a bunch of noise at school board meetings.
And I think underpinning that was this inflation of you know,
the January sixth protest and the you know, associated riot,
inflating that into a this massive, years long claim that

(28:50):
that domestic terrorism was on the rise. And now we
know that hundreds, well over a thousand, of the instances
of domestic terrorism we're just you know, people who had
been arrested on January sixth.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Jerry, as always, my brother, well done, Come back soon.
I have more thoughts on all this. We probably need
to dig into this a little bit. We'll do that
in just a moment. Now, our minds, we need to
take care of them, don't we. You would agree with that.

(29:27):
You know, I tell you a lot about chalk, about
what I take every single day. I take a male
vitality stack from chalk. These are natural herbal supplements, and
they have female vitality stacks. They have all these wonderful things.
But maybe you've been wondering about it. Maybe you went
to the website. So let me tell you this. Why

(29:48):
don't you try some chalk lit powder for just a month.
Try it for a month. It's this wonderful powder. You
mix it in with a smoothier milk in the morning, whatever,
drink it. Pack full of vitamins and minerals. Your day
is going to be better. Your mind is going to
work better. You don't think it will, but you'll just

(30:09):
be thinking to yourself, Man, I have so much more focus.
My mind is ready to go. That's what chal can
do for you, naturally, Go save a pile of money.
Chalk dot com slash jessetv. We'll be back, okay. So

(30:29):
I just I need to piggyback off of what we
just discussed with Jerry Dunlavy and the last segment and
discuss this FBI China story, because there's a part of
this story. I'm not saying we're missing it. We're certainly
not missing it. But there is a part of this
story that is most important. So let's just cover just
briefly what we already know. We know that China did

(30:53):
or attempted to do something with the twenty twenty election.
We know that. Okay, fake driver's licensees, things like that.
All that's bad. Okay, we got all that, all right,
What else do we know? We know that Christopher Ray,
then the director of the FBI, found out about China's involvement.

(31:14):
The investigation was shut down, but he knew about China's involvement,
and he knew about China's involvement when he sat in
front of Congress. Member I just clarified this with Jerry Dunlavey.
Christopher Ray sat in front of Congress having known China
was trying to sway an election, and here's what he said.

Speaker 13 (31:33):
The intelligence communities consensus is that Russia continues to try
to influence our elections, primarily through what we would call
malign foreign influence. But we certainly have seen very active,
very active efforts by the Russians to influence our election
in twenty twenty through what I would call more than

(31:55):
malign foreign influence side of things, social media, use of
of proxies, state media, online journals, etc. An effort to
both sew divisiveness and discord. And I think the intelligence
community has assessed this publicly to primarily to denigrate Vice

(32:16):
President by.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Okay, no China, just Russia, Russia, Russia. Now we got
all that. Here's the question, and it is by far
the most important question. Why not China. It doesn't exactly
take a genius to figure out why China would get
involved in our elections. They're involved in many of our elections.

(32:43):
That happens we get involved in theirs, right, It's just
something countries do. I got that. Why would the Federal
Bureau of Investigation shut down an investigation into what China
was doing? And why would the director of the FBI

(33:06):
cover up that fact? And maybe I shouldn't be asking
this question because I don't have an answer, But just
like you're doing exactly right now, I've gone through all
the potential answers in my head, and they're all positively frightening? Frightening?

(33:26):
Was Joe Biden a Chinese asset? Was Joe Biden slash
Hunter Biden? Were they being blackmailed by the communist Chinese
and in turn they told the FBI not to lock
into China? I don't know. I don't know. That's a guess.
Christopher Wray is he a Chinese asset? Was he on

(33:47):
the Chinese payroll for something? I don't know? Frightening to
think about? Was this all done, the shutting down of
the China investigation, the line to Congress? Was this all
done in an ongoing, elaborate effort to justify sending the
Federal Bureau of Investigation after Republicans, protecting democrats after Republicans.

(34:12):
I don't know. There aren't good answers. I've searched and
searched and searched all morning long before I sat here
and did this, and I can't find an explanation for that.
That is anything but frightening. The director of the FBI
shut down an investigation into China and then lied to
Congress about it. Why? That is the question? I don't know.

(34:40):
Hopefully we dig and find out anyway, we have a
lot more. We'll be back remember that weirdo dude who
was swimming with the chicks at you, penned. I mean,
there's so many scandals sometimes these seen go by us.
But remember that dude with shoulders the size of mine,

(35:02):
who's swimming with the women. He's just helicoptering across the
pool and he's breaking all these records and the poor women.
You know, it's it's swimming. You have to get naked
when you're changing, have to change in front of the
freaking dude. It's just the whole thing was disgusting. Yeah, well,
we can't make all those women whole from having to
go through that, but at least we're getting somewhere with it.

(35:23):
Joining me now is one of those brave souls who
had to endure all this filth, Paula Scanlon, Senior fellow
American Principles Project, and of course a swimmer, you pen
swimmer on that team. Paula. Obviously you're the one who
had to be in the locker room. I did not.
For those who were unaware, tell us the tale again, please,
before we get to current events.

Speaker 7 (35:45):
Well, that man you can see over there, away from
the women, and that photo is my teammate and my university,
my IVY League institution, decided that he should be in
our locker room eighteen times per week, and when anyone
tried to bring up any concerns about whether it was
unfair for him to compete against us, or take our
spots on the travel roster, or break our records, or

(36:06):
undress in our locker room, the university quickly told us
that we were bigoted and hateful.

Speaker 14 (36:12):
They said that.

Speaker 7 (36:13):
If you didn't want to undress in a locker room
with a six foot four tall, fully grown man, that
it was equivalent to not wanting to undress with someone
based on their race in the nineteen sixties. And they
told us this is the next civil rights movement and
we can't be biggots, so we have to get on board.

Speaker 14 (36:29):
They continue to threaten us, and the last thing they told.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Us really was the most shocking, in my opinion, was
if you still object to everything we've told you about
how you must accept this, and you're a bigot and
you're hateful and you're transphobic, you are the problem, and
you need therapy.

Speaker 14 (36:45):
And they gave us the number for an on campus psychological.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Counselor okay, I mean you would think you pen would
be at the height of it education in this country.
But this seems to be pretty consistent with these IVY
League schools. There's somehow the grossest places. Nobody in the
administration thought that having somebody with the penis changing in

(37:11):
front of the women in the locker room was a problem.

Speaker 7 (37:15):
No, And that's what really showed me firsthand what is
so wrong with these IVY League institutions. Everyone says it's
higher learning, you're getting the best degree in the country.
I mean, I think I actually just graduated from the
best indoctrination system in the entire world. Communists China would
be proud of what they're doing in IVY Leagues. In fact,
I'm sure that's why they're sending so many international students

(37:37):
over to these IVY League institutions, so they can come
away and say, we're going to get our ideas from
these IVY League institutions on what we can put into
our communist country, because it is that bad. I really
not even just this issue. I mean everything that I
saw firsthand attending this IVY League institution, it is just
unbelievable what they try to push down your throat.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
What else did you see.

Speaker 7 (38:03):
Well, I mean they told us that we had to
use preferred pronouns for people. You had to introduce yourself
with pronouns every single time you started a new course,
no matter what department it was. In this one class
that was algorithmic game theory, and we had to refer
to the hypothetical people and the problems that weren't real

(38:24):
with they them pronouns, and if we didn't do that,
we lost points. They also allowed people to make up
their own majors. One day, I was sitting in class,
the person next to me was mentioning what his major and.

Speaker 14 (38:35):
His pronouns were.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
His pronouns were apparently they them, and he was a
lesbian dance studies major.

Speaker 14 (38:40):
I mean, that is the type of thing that you're
seeing at these schools.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
I can go on, but those are our two wonderful
examples of exactly what it is that they're teaching us.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I'm so old. I'll tell you, I do respect the
hustle of saying that's your major, though I totally would
have majored in lesbian dance studies. Okay, so, Paula, what
happened with you Penn yesterday? And why.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
So?

Speaker 7 (39:03):
The Trump administration a couple of months ago, Now pulled
federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania for their violations
in Title nine, and ultimately, behind closed doors the Trump administration,
the University of Pennsylvania went to the Trump administration and said, Hey,
we're actually willing to negotiate here.

Speaker 14 (39:19):
We're going to come to the table and talk about this.
And in this.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
Negotiation that I was obviously not part of, they came
to the conclusion that the University of Pennsylvania is going
to issue an apology to all the female athletes that
were affected by this. They're going to remove Thomas's records
from our record boards, and they're also going to start
using adequate language in referring to male and females and
complying with really what Title nine is supposed to be,

(39:44):
and complying with the new Trump executive orders saying men
do not belong in women's sports.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Paula, has there been any turnover in the university itself.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you got your apology.
I'm happy they're stripping records away and things like that.
But maybe I'm just old. There should be some accountability
for everybody who forced the dude into the women's locker
room that used to be the kind of thing that
was punishable, you know, I hope.

Speaker 7 (40:12):
So I think we're still looking at It's very early
on in the situation, right, this is really just the
first step.

Speaker 14 (40:18):
I would love to see them go through and fire people.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Actually, you know what, we should bring back Donald Trump's apprentice,
but instead of you know, the way it used to be,
he should just go into these Ivy League institutions and
analyze what these people are doing and who's perpetuating these
problems and whose job is completely useless because there are
so many administrators that really forced this on us, and
they had no other goals other than in doctrinating us,

(40:44):
other than forcing transgender ideology on us, other than forcing
us to compete alongside and undress alongside a fully grown man.

Speaker 14 (40:51):
And so yeah, it really is just the beginning of this.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
But I do know that with the Trump administration in charge,
we will start to see more change. And I think
I want to see more universities bend the knee and
change their policies and apologize and just again follow common
sense legislation.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
All Right, We're changing off of this because it's kind
of gross. I want to talk about the American Principles
Project in New Jersey and what you're doing over there.
What are you doing.

Speaker 7 (41:19):
Yeah, so I'm a fellow at an American Principals Project,
but I'm the external director at Early Vote Action and
we are working on flipping the New Jersey governorship from
blue to red.

Speaker 14 (41:29):
And so that is something obviously that sounds like.

Speaker 7 (41:32):
A big lift, but really with crazy things like the
transgender stuff we were just talking about, there is a
lot of traction.

Speaker 14 (41:41):
There are people who are tired of bad leadership there.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
People are tired of the spending out being out of
control in the state of New Jersey. They are people
who are tired of the public school systems that people
are tired of being taxed so heavily, and that's really
what we're tapping into. And there's so many voters that
are ready for change and are embracing new leadership.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
If you had any sandwiches there, I have to be honest,
New Jersey. I know it's got a bad reputation. The
sandwiches are amazing. Every time I go I find a
sandwich shop of some kind and that just done my
best cheeseteak I ever had my life. Is done in Philadelphia.
It was in New Jersey.

Speaker 14 (42:17):
Interesting.

Speaker 7 (42:17):
I mean, I love wah wah wahways a Pennsylvania New
Jersey thing. And I will say, every time we go
down there for something, which is many days a week,
I do have to stop at a wall wa. It's
a mustew Definitely some good sandwiches there. I know people
talk about pork roll or things like that. I actually
never tried that. I'm from New York City, so I

(42:39):
like a good big egg. And obviously we get that
pretty good in New York. But maybe New Jersey is
a rival on that.

Speaker 14 (42:47):
We'll have to find out.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
You New Yorkers are so snobby when it comes to
New Jersey. I see right through you, Paula. Thank you
so much. I appreciate it right in the mood. Next,
all right, it is time to lighten the mood. And

(43:13):
I love Independence Day. I can't help it. I love
Independence Day. I'm an American, I've raised Americans. My sons
are even worse than I am. We're the ultimate ugly
American family. Our house, our house may explode on July fourth.
I may not be back, but that's how much I
love Independence Day. So we thought with Independence day rapidly approaching,
we might as well toss back to this classic.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
Mega magl Mango teart it rever tart.

Speaker 8 (43:40):
Oh lord ow loud, what.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
